14
00:00:42,240 --> 00:00:44,400
Speaker 1: and really it's just on a human level, a really

Speaker 1: great thing. If you can make it happen, or send

16
00:00:47,240 --> 00:00:49,360
Speaker 1: thoughts and prayers. As we are this morning, I'm Good

17
00:00:49,400 --> 00:00:52,240
Speaker 1: Morning Football, presented by Truist. We're alive in New York

18
00:00:52,280 --> 00:00:55,120
Speaker 1: City this morning, August thirty, first last day if August.

19
00:00:55,160 --> 00:00:58,360
Speaker 1: My name is Kay Adams alongside Peter Schrager, Kyle Brand

20
00:00:58,400 --> 00:01:03,520
Speaker 1: Indiangelo Hall talking everything August and everything after gentlemen in

21
00:01:03,560 --> 00:01:05,720
Speaker 1: front of me. They always put the preseason schedule on

22
00:01:05,800 --> 00:01:08,200
Speaker 1: blue paper, so I can look down quickly and know

23
00:01:08,400 --> 00:01:11,360
Speaker 1: in front of me, I have the week one schedule.

24
00:01:11,760 --> 00:01:15,800
Speaker 1: It feels very good to have this, to have real matchups,

25
00:01:15,920 --> 00:01:18,520
Speaker 1: real stakes, and it's all coming our way. Less than

26
00:01:18,560 --> 00:01:21,200
Speaker 1: ten days from now. It is deadline day today, D'Angelo

27
00:01:21,880 --> 00:01:24,920
Speaker 1: rosters get cut down to fifty three by four pm Eastern.

28
00:01:24,959 --> 00:01:27,000
Speaker 1: So keep it right here on NFL Network all day

29
00:01:27,000 --> 00:01:30,880
Speaker 1: long for all the latest news. What's that day like? Well,

30
00:01:30,920 --> 00:01:33,680
Speaker 1: I mean, for some of these younger football players, is

31
00:01:33,680 --> 00:01:37,240
Speaker 1: an opportunity, right because some guys know they're not going

32
00:01:37,319 --> 00:01:39,640
Speaker 1: to make a football team, and so what they're trying

33
00:01:39,640 --> 00:01:42,559
Speaker 1: to do is put enough good stuff on film, because

34
00:01:42,560 --> 00:01:45,360
Speaker 1: sometimes you're just up against the numbers crunch. Sometimes you

35
00:01:45,400 --> 00:01:48,480
Speaker 1: just don't factor in depending on running backs receive us,

36
00:01:48,560 --> 00:01:51,840
Speaker 1: you know, depending on how many players at that position

37
00:01:51,880 --> 00:01:53,400
Speaker 1: the team wants to keep it. So it's gonna be

38
00:01:53,440 --> 00:01:56,360
Speaker 1: some really good football players that don't have jobs that

39
00:01:56,440 --> 00:01:58,480
Speaker 1: I'm sure every other team is going to be scouring

40
00:01:58,520 --> 00:02:00,600
Speaker 1: the wires trying to figure out who we act our

41
00:02:00,640 --> 00:02:03,440
Speaker 1: football team that performed really well in the preseason. This

42
00:02:03,480 --> 00:02:05,080
Speaker 1: year is gonna be a game of chicken too because

43
00:02:05,080 --> 00:02:08,120
Speaker 1: of the extended practice squads. If you cut a player,

44
00:02:08,280 --> 00:02:10,519
Speaker 1: another team might stash him. So if you like a

45
00:02:10,520 --> 00:02:12,240
Speaker 1: player but he didn't really necessarily play at the top

46
00:02:12,280 --> 00:02:14,720
Speaker 1: fifty three, you might keep him on your fifty three

47
00:02:14,840 --> 00:02:16,880
Speaker 1: just because of the long term. It's a whole different

48
00:02:16,919 --> 00:02:18,920
Speaker 1: deal now where some of these late round picks that

49
00:02:18,960 --> 00:02:20,640
Speaker 1: used sayah, we'll cut him, are bringing back on the practice.

50
00:02:20,680 --> 00:02:22,280
Speaker 1: But no, no no, no, no, no, other teams can grab him.

51
00:02:22,320 --> 00:02:24,079
Speaker 1: I think it's gonna be interesting who makes teams and

52
00:02:24,120 --> 00:02:25,800
Speaker 1: who doesn't. Would you keep a player in your fifty

53
00:02:25,840 --> 00:02:27,880
Speaker 1: three who says he's never gonna play another down for you? Again,

54
00:02:28,040 --> 00:02:30,280
Speaker 1: it's a great rest, it's a great so much about

55
00:02:30,280 --> 00:02:32,560
Speaker 1: that in a minute at GMF actually three and Tom

56
00:02:32,600 --> 00:02:36,239
Speaker 1: Philisara for the lad Book, are you joining us from

57
00:02:36,280 --> 00:02:38,720
Speaker 1: his home camp on this deadline day? Give us the

58
00:02:38,800 --> 00:02:41,359
Speaker 1: latest with Deshaun Watson and what's going on with the Texans.

59
00:02:41,360 --> 00:02:43,600
Speaker 1: It's the story everybody wants to know as we are

60
00:02:43,639 --> 00:02:47,920
Speaker 1: only nine days away from kickoff to the season. Okay,

61
00:02:48,000 --> 00:02:51,040
Speaker 1: as of now, no trade is imminent with the Houston

62
00:02:51,120 --> 00:02:55,760
Speaker 1: Texans for their star quarterback Deshaun Watson. Hypothetically, that could

63
00:02:55,840 --> 00:02:57,840
Speaker 1: change today if somebody steps up with the type of

64
00:02:57,840 --> 00:03:01,720
Speaker 1: offer that Houston cannot refuse. But the more likely scenario

65
00:03:01,840 --> 00:03:04,200
Speaker 1: as of this moment is that we are talking about

66
00:03:04,240 --> 00:03:08,760
Speaker 1: Watson's football future for months to come. We reported before

67
00:03:08,800 --> 00:03:11,519
Speaker 1: training camp began that the Texans were willing to listen,

68
00:03:11,760 --> 00:03:14,280
Speaker 1: but the price was going to be high, three first

69
00:03:14,360 --> 00:03:18,480
Speaker 1: round draft picks and more to get DeShawn Watson. That

70
00:03:18,680 --> 00:03:22,320
Speaker 1: price has not changed. The Texans have not budged, and

71
00:03:22,360 --> 00:03:24,200
Speaker 1: the message that they have sent to other teams is

72
00:03:24,240 --> 00:03:26,600
Speaker 1: if they don't get what they want for him, then

73
00:03:26,639 --> 00:03:30,440
Speaker 1: they are willing to wait. The situation does change after

74
00:03:30,440 --> 00:03:34,080
Speaker 1: four pm Eastern time today. At that point, the Texans

75
00:03:34,120 --> 00:03:38,120
Speaker 1: would have to decide do they play with fifty two indefinitely,

76
00:03:38,160 --> 00:03:40,800
Speaker 1: Do they pay Deshaun Watson over ten million dollars to

77
00:03:40,840 --> 00:03:43,840
Speaker 1: stay home or just to attend meetings as he has been,

78
00:03:44,160 --> 00:03:46,640
Speaker 1: or do they say, after everything that has happened on

79
00:03:46,720 --> 00:03:49,200
Speaker 1: and off the field for months now, after having him

80
00:03:49,200 --> 00:03:52,320
Speaker 1: as their fourth string quarterback throughout training camp, now, Deshaun,

81
00:03:52,800 --> 00:03:54,880
Speaker 1: you must play for us or else we are going

82
00:03:54,920 --> 00:03:57,720
Speaker 1: to find you, we are going to suspend you. We

83
00:03:57,800 --> 00:04:00,800
Speaker 1: are going to go after your money and void your guarantees.

84
00:04:01,240 --> 00:04:04,840
Speaker 1: This all comes, of course, against the backdrop of serious

85
00:04:04,880 --> 00:04:09,480
Speaker 1: allegations of sexual misconduct, twenty two civil lawsuits. There's a

86
00:04:09,520 --> 00:04:12,839
Speaker 1: grand jury probe, and the NFL is continuing to investigate.

87
00:04:13,080 --> 00:04:16,120
Speaker 1: Potentially there could be a suspension for Deshaun Watson, though

88
00:04:16,200 --> 00:04:18,640
Speaker 1: more than likely that would come in twenty twenty two,

89
00:04:18,680 --> 00:04:20,880
Speaker 1: just based on the pace of how things are going

90
00:04:21,000 --> 00:04:24,719
Speaker 1: right now. Also, Watson has a no trade clause and

91
00:04:24,760 --> 00:04:27,560
Speaker 1: it has been an open secret within the NFL that

92
00:04:27,720 --> 00:04:32,440
Speaker 1: his preferred destination is the Miami Dolphins. As for the NFL,

93
00:04:32,520 --> 00:04:35,160
Speaker 1: they did not place Watson on the Commissioner's example list

94
00:04:35,440 --> 00:04:38,520
Speaker 1: prior to training camp. My understanding is k there is

95
00:04:38,600 --> 00:04:43,359
Speaker 1: no expectation that changes today. Watson will remain eligible to

96
00:04:43,400 --> 00:04:48,120
Speaker 1: play for now. Connecting the dots between the Miami Dolphins

97
00:04:48,160 --> 00:04:51,320
Speaker 1: and Deshaun Watson. Excellent timeline, beautiful breakdown by you. Thank

98
00:04:51,360 --> 00:04:53,040
Speaker 1: you so much for working up so early to explain

99
00:04:53,080 --> 00:04:54,839
Speaker 1: it to us here at the breakfast table and all

100
00:04:54,880 --> 00:04:57,360
Speaker 1: the viewers at home ahead of that deadline today. Thanks

101
00:04:57,400 --> 00:05:00,320
Speaker 1: so much time. We'll talk to you an evid Dolphins

102
00:05:00,360 --> 00:05:03,520
Speaker 1: head coach Brian Flores has talked asked about John Watson yesterday,

103
00:05:03,560 --> 00:05:06,039
Speaker 1: talked about not just him, but adding any player to

104
00:05:06,120 --> 00:05:09,920
Speaker 1: the roster, potentially bringing anyone who might be of use

105
00:05:10,000 --> 00:05:13,680
Speaker 1: to them in Miami. Take a listen, there's a lot

106
00:05:13,680 --> 00:05:17,839
Speaker 1: of variables there. We want a group that's tough, that's smart,

107
00:05:18,520 --> 00:05:22,760
Speaker 1: that's competitive, that loves to play, that's team first. I

108
00:05:22,800 --> 00:05:26,279
Speaker 1: think those are the types of guys we're looking for.

109
00:05:26,920 --> 00:05:28,320
Speaker 1: I mean, really have a high standard for the people

110
00:05:28,320 --> 00:05:31,200
Speaker 1: we have in the organization. So I don't get into

111
00:05:32,200 --> 00:05:36,200
Speaker 1: last strikes or anything. We just know we want the

112
00:05:36,240 --> 00:05:41,200
Speaker 1: people with high character and throughout the building. Yeah, that's

113
00:05:41,200 --> 00:05:44,520
Speaker 1: what we're looking for. The questions keep coming up in

114
00:05:44,560 --> 00:05:48,000
Speaker 1: Miami about Deshaun about twa how confident do you think

115
00:05:48,360 --> 00:05:53,240
Speaker 1: the Dolphins are in their quarterback? Well, this is crazy.

116
00:05:53,760 --> 00:05:55,960
Speaker 1: You just said it like September tomorrow. The Dolphins were

117
00:05:55,960 --> 00:06:00,560
Speaker 1: the Patriots in twelve days. Flores was also asked directly, okay, okay,

118
00:06:00,600 --> 00:06:03,520
Speaker 1: can you say that the team is not interested in

119
00:06:03,560 --> 00:06:06,680
Speaker 1: Deshaun Watson. He says, I'm interested in the players we

120
00:06:06,680 --> 00:06:09,640
Speaker 1: have on this team. That's nuts. And you're saying, well,

121
00:06:09,680 --> 00:06:12,719
Speaker 1: he can't tamper. Of course he can't tamper. Tampering is saying, oh,

122
00:06:12,760 --> 00:06:14,160
Speaker 1: we got our eye and that guy we like him.

123
00:06:14,200 --> 00:06:16,960
Speaker 1: What he can do is say, we have no interest

124
00:06:17,000 --> 00:06:19,880
Speaker 1: in anyone we believe in Tuah, We are not in

125
00:06:20,400 --> 00:06:23,279
Speaker 1: any player, the one you mentioned, or otherwise. We like

126
00:06:23,520 --> 00:06:25,680
Speaker 1: the guys we have here in the building, and we

127
00:06:25,720 --> 00:06:28,080
Speaker 1: are ready for our opener against New England Patriots. You

128
00:06:28,080 --> 00:06:31,960
Speaker 1: can say that, and he won't. And meanwhile, the Texans

129
00:06:32,000 --> 00:06:35,520
Speaker 1: haven't emphatically said that we're not training for him, and

130
00:06:35,600 --> 00:06:38,880
Speaker 1: there's so much chatter. Drew Rosenhaus is chaffing. He's not

131
00:06:38,960 --> 00:06:41,640
Speaker 1: de Shawn Watson's agent. He's down there in Miami. He says, oh,

132
00:06:41,680 --> 00:06:44,320
Speaker 1: this can happen. In fact, the Dolphins are working on

133
00:06:44,360 --> 00:06:46,960
Speaker 1: the steel. Who knows what Drew knows or what he's working,

134
00:06:47,160 --> 00:06:50,200
Speaker 1: but he's saying that, which means that every single Miami

135
00:06:50,240 --> 00:06:53,440
Speaker 1: Dolphin is hearing this, including to a tonga Ilo, that

136
00:06:53,480 --> 00:06:55,760
Speaker 1: they've said to a man that they're behind and they're

137
00:06:55,800 --> 00:06:58,840
Speaker 1: devoted to. And yet he won't shut it down. So

138
00:06:58,920 --> 00:07:01,480
Speaker 1: would you not come out to and say, listen, two

139
00:07:01,560 --> 00:07:03,360
Speaker 1: was our guy. He was our guy at the draft

140
00:07:03,440 --> 00:07:05,120
Speaker 1: when you brought this up. He was our guy two

141
00:07:05,160 --> 00:07:06,840
Speaker 1: years ago. When you brought this up. We are going

142
00:07:06,880 --> 00:07:10,880
Speaker 1: to battle. He won't say it's nonsense about. We like

143
00:07:10,960 --> 00:07:13,560
Speaker 1: the players we have here and it's definite. It's absolutely

144
00:07:13,600 --> 00:07:15,640
Speaker 1: definitely hell yes, there's something going on, or he would

145
00:07:15,640 --> 00:07:18,080
Speaker 1: shut it down. I could tell you that back before

146
00:07:18,120 --> 00:07:22,600
Speaker 1: all these allegations and the whole situation with Watson off

147
00:07:22,600 --> 00:07:24,880
Speaker 1: the field, he was the hottest name in all the

148
00:07:24,920 --> 00:07:27,400
Speaker 1: football and there were teams like Carolina that were interested,

149
00:07:27,440 --> 00:07:31,080
Speaker 1: teams that like Denver were interested. Philadelphia was willing to consider.

150
00:07:31,520 --> 00:07:34,760
Speaker 1: I don't hear anything out of those buildings anymore. It's Miami,

151
00:07:34,840 --> 00:07:38,080
Speaker 1: and a lot of that probably comes from the Watson side,

152
00:07:38,120 --> 00:07:40,520
Speaker 1: because on Watson side, he still hasn't no trade clause.

153
00:07:40,560 --> 00:07:42,000
Speaker 1: As much as we think he has no leverage in

154
00:07:42,040 --> 00:07:45,400
Speaker 1: this thing, Watson still is due ten million dollars if

155
00:07:45,400 --> 00:07:47,640
Speaker 1: he doesn't even play it down this year, like that's

156
00:07:47,680 --> 00:07:49,560
Speaker 1: what the Texans are going to keep him on the roster.

157
00:07:50,320 --> 00:07:52,120
Speaker 1: So I feel like this is one of those where

158
00:07:52,440 --> 00:07:55,040
Speaker 1: it just makes sense match wise that a the Dolphins

159
00:07:55,080 --> 00:07:57,240
Speaker 1: haven't publicly come out Kyle to your point, he said,

160
00:07:58,040 --> 00:08:00,320
Speaker 1: we're definitely not interested. In. We're a hundreds in on

161
00:08:00,360 --> 00:08:04,480
Speaker 1: Tah and here we go. And b Watson, as Tom

162
00:08:04,480 --> 00:08:07,040
Speaker 1: alluded to, has made it quite known that Miami would

163
00:08:07,040 --> 00:08:09,200
Speaker 1: be destination he would consider playing for. So you have

164
00:08:09,280 --> 00:08:10,960
Speaker 1: this match and then you've got ta who is this

165
00:08:11,560 --> 00:08:14,200
Speaker 1: great kid, this awesome character, all the things that to

166
00:08:14,520 --> 00:08:17,280
Speaker 1: would floors are just raving about. And he's staying there.

167
00:08:17,320 --> 00:08:18,760
Speaker 1: And I don't think you have to be exclusive. You

168
00:08:18,760 --> 00:08:21,240
Speaker 1: don't have to say if you like Tuah, then you

169
00:08:21,240 --> 00:08:23,800
Speaker 1: don't want Watson, or if you want Watson, you don't

170
00:08:23,840 --> 00:08:26,240
Speaker 1: like Tuah. I think it's fair to leave the door

171
00:08:26,280 --> 00:08:29,080
Speaker 1: open on this one. And hey, Tuah, that's the NFL.

172
00:08:29,160 --> 00:08:31,760
Speaker 1: We don't don't. You're not owed anything of We love you.

173
00:08:31,760 --> 00:08:33,240
Speaker 1: We're not gonna train for you. I swear we're not

174
00:08:33,280 --> 00:08:35,199
Speaker 1: gonna lie to you. That's just what we are. If

175
00:08:35,200 --> 00:08:37,680
Speaker 1: Deshaun Watson's available and then got a couple of draft

176
00:08:37,679 --> 00:08:39,640
Speaker 1: picks to spare for him, and they think it checks

177
00:08:39,640 --> 00:08:41,880
Speaker 1: out off the field, whether it's now or whether it's

178
00:08:41,880 --> 00:08:44,000
Speaker 1: in March of twenty two, or whether it's before the

179
00:08:44,080 --> 00:08:46,840
Speaker 1: draft in April, I think that's an upgrade just from

180
00:08:46,840 --> 00:08:49,360
Speaker 1: the football standpoint. And if they think off the field,

181
00:08:49,400 --> 00:08:51,720
Speaker 1: he checks off. I think to Shaun Watson, I think

182
00:08:51,760 --> 00:08:53,480
Speaker 1: we all would agree it's a top five quarterback in

183
00:08:53,520 --> 00:08:57,040
Speaker 1: the NFL. Yeah, I mean it's not even close. Right

184
00:08:57,040 --> 00:08:59,720
Speaker 1: when you watch the Miami Dolphins play, when you watch

185
00:08:59,760 --> 00:09:02,680
Speaker 1: the last season, Um, you know, and I love tool,

186
00:09:03,040 --> 00:09:05,840
Speaker 1: but he does need more time, He needs more seasoning.

187
00:09:06,240 --> 00:09:08,360
Speaker 1: When you have a guy like Deshaun Watson, he is

188
00:09:08,400 --> 00:09:12,199
Speaker 1: a proven commodity and so yes to your point, Peter,

189
00:09:12,880 --> 00:09:15,360
Speaker 1: why is Brian Flores not saying this? Maybe because he

190
00:09:15,400 --> 00:09:17,960
Speaker 1: knows it's not the truth, right, Maybe he knows he

191
00:09:18,000 --> 00:09:20,520
Speaker 1: can't say this. He understands that when you add a

192
00:09:20,600 --> 00:09:23,960
Speaker 1: guy like Deshaun Watson to your roster, I mean you

193
00:09:24,120 --> 00:09:28,200
Speaker 1: instantly get credibility. I mean, for what Houston's team was

194
00:09:28,400 --> 00:09:30,560
Speaker 1: last year, for him to put the numbers up he

195
00:09:30,600 --> 00:09:34,160
Speaker 1: did protect the football. I mean, you know, he's he's

196
00:09:34,559 --> 00:09:37,280
Speaker 1: so wise beyond his years on the football field. If

197
00:09:37,280 --> 00:09:40,160
Speaker 1: everything else checks out off the field, on the field,

198
00:09:40,200 --> 00:09:43,280
Speaker 1: I mean, there's no questions about who this player, who

199
00:09:43,320 --> 00:09:46,000
Speaker 1: this guy is as a football player. Can you put

200
00:09:46,080 --> 00:09:50,120
Speaker 1: up some stats for me real quickly too? Yeah? I mean,

201
00:09:50,160 --> 00:09:52,600
Speaker 1: because this is what you're up against and this is

202
00:09:52,600 --> 00:09:55,200
Speaker 1: a team that won ten games and was on the

203
00:09:55,240 --> 00:09:58,280
Speaker 1: bubble to make the playoffs. I mean, that division is

204
00:09:58,320 --> 00:10:01,839
Speaker 1: theirs if Deshaun Wats he's on that football team. And

205
00:10:01,880 --> 00:10:04,160
Speaker 1: I know we we got big bad Josh Allen and

206
00:10:04,240 --> 00:10:07,800
Speaker 1: the Buffalo Bills up there, you know, but if you

207
00:10:07,920 --> 00:10:11,040
Speaker 1: add a player of Deshaun Watson's caliber to this roster,

208
00:10:11,720 --> 00:10:13,760
Speaker 1: sky's the limit in my in my eyes, is there

209
00:10:13,800 --> 00:10:18,040
Speaker 1: a reason that the noise has quieted in those other

210
00:10:18,080 --> 00:10:20,560
Speaker 1: buildings that we've heard of The Broncos, the Eagles especially,

211
00:10:20,559 --> 00:10:22,680
Speaker 1: they were hot for on them. They pulled the trade

212
00:10:22,800 --> 00:10:25,360
Speaker 1: for Minshew. I think one of the major reasons is

213
00:10:25,400 --> 00:10:27,960
Speaker 1: because we're finding out that this investigation, whether it be

214
00:10:28,520 --> 00:10:30,720
Speaker 1: from the civil or the criminal side, is not going

215
00:10:30,760 --> 00:10:33,280
Speaker 1: to be fully done until March of twenty twenty two

216
00:10:33,320 --> 00:10:35,120
Speaker 1: at the earl, And so this whole season is gonna

217
00:10:35,120 --> 00:10:38,439
Speaker 1: be this like Langon Limbo season to pay him eventually, right, No,

218
00:10:38,640 --> 00:10:39,680
Speaker 1: you don't have to pay them, but you have to

219
00:10:39,679 --> 00:10:41,240
Speaker 1: give up all those draft picks. If you're gonna give

220
00:10:41,320 --> 00:10:43,160
Speaker 1: up three draft picks and you're starting quarterback and all

221
00:10:43,200 --> 00:10:45,280
Speaker 1: these things, then you find out in March, like, oh wait,

222
00:10:45,400 --> 00:10:47,640
Speaker 1: actually he's guilty of all these things, You're not gonna

223
00:10:47,640 --> 00:10:49,040
Speaker 1: be able to have him, and you have that stain

224
00:10:49,120 --> 00:10:52,960
Speaker 1: on your resume. Miami for whatever reason he wants to

225
00:10:53,000 --> 00:10:55,079
Speaker 1: go there. They're not closing the door on this yet.

226
00:10:55,160 --> 00:10:58,600
Speaker 1: And until they close that door, Kyle, I think this

227
00:10:58,640 --> 00:11:00,880
Speaker 1: is gonna linger all season long. It's a little hard

228
00:11:00,960 --> 00:11:03,120
Speaker 1: for me to listen to Brian Flores and what he's

229
00:11:03,120 --> 00:11:06,400
Speaker 1: talking about with high integrity, and it's hard for me

230
00:11:06,440 --> 00:11:08,920
Speaker 1: to sort of listen to that with Deshaun Watson having

231
00:11:08,920 --> 00:11:11,079
Speaker 1: that hanging over's head. And none of us know what

232
00:11:11,120 --> 00:11:13,120
Speaker 1: Deshaun Watson did or did not do. We do know

233
00:11:13,160 --> 00:11:16,120
Speaker 1: what he's accused of. So if you're going to go

234
00:11:16,160 --> 00:11:19,319
Speaker 1: on and on about the importance of high value, high

235
00:11:19,400 --> 00:11:23,640
Speaker 1: integrity people in your locker room, I guess why trade?

236
00:11:23,679 --> 00:11:25,480
Speaker 1: How can you go trade for a guy who might

237
00:11:25,559 --> 00:11:28,959
Speaker 1: have done something like that's the allegation, right, That's what's

238
00:11:28,960 --> 00:11:30,440
Speaker 1: going on. So that's a little hard for me. It's

239
00:11:30,480 --> 00:11:33,680
Speaker 1: a big risk for anybody to take, obviously, because of

240
00:11:33,679 --> 00:11:36,240
Speaker 1: a potential follow out, the possibility he does get suspended,

241
00:11:36,280 --> 00:11:38,880
Speaker 1: the possibility that he did actually do some of these things.

242
00:11:38,880 --> 00:11:41,240
Speaker 1: So I just feel like the cell of a like

243
00:11:41,280 --> 00:11:44,600
Speaker 1: a high standards organization was a weird thing for him

244
00:11:44,640 --> 00:11:47,440
Speaker 1: to say. It was, it was. I mean, it's the

245
00:11:47,480 --> 00:11:49,520
Speaker 1: world we live in though, right, I mean, how many

246
00:11:49,559 --> 00:11:53,080
Speaker 1: times have great athletes or great people in the business

247
00:11:53,080 --> 00:11:58,040
Speaker 1: world or entertainers been given second chances because they because

248
00:11:58,040 --> 00:12:05,080
Speaker 1: of what they bring to the table. So you know exactly,

249
00:12:05,120 --> 00:12:07,360
Speaker 1: it was very like he said it for a reason.

250
00:12:07,480 --> 00:12:09,880
Speaker 1: So it's I always payotentially, why would he like, Yes,

251
00:12:09,960 --> 00:12:11,760
Speaker 1: I was waiting for like to tell me too, was

252
00:12:11,800 --> 00:12:15,000
Speaker 1: your guy? That's who you're looking like? What? God? No,

253
00:12:15,040 --> 00:12:16,720
Speaker 1: I think you make a good point, And I would

254
00:12:16,720 --> 00:12:20,120
Speaker 1: answer your question that either he believes or has information

255
00:12:20,240 --> 00:12:22,720
Speaker 1: that maybe Deshaun is not who people think he is.

256
00:12:22,760 --> 00:12:24,719
Speaker 1: I would just if I'm too a tongue about I'm

257
00:12:24,720 --> 00:12:26,480
Speaker 1: walking in today to work and say, what's up? What

258
00:12:26,520 --> 00:12:29,280
Speaker 1: the hell coach? Am I am? I bleeping guy? I

259
00:12:29,280 --> 00:12:30,880
Speaker 1: don't know if to, I don't know if that's too

260
00:12:31,720 --> 00:12:34,360
Speaker 1: And I agree, I don't know if that's too if not. Now,

261
00:12:34,480 --> 00:12:36,040
Speaker 1: I don't even know if twas going in there and

262
00:12:36,080 --> 00:12:38,280
Speaker 1: he's fired up and say no, I'm like, they say,

263
00:12:38,280 --> 00:12:41,120
Speaker 1: there's that fire in him. I'm not sure internally that

264
00:12:41,200 --> 00:12:43,000
Speaker 1: he's outraged by that. Maybe that's why we're having this

265
00:12:43,000 --> 00:12:45,760
Speaker 1: conversation when you when you take the temperature of the

266
00:12:45,880 --> 00:12:48,760
Speaker 1: league and like all everything, and you're the pro asked

267
00:12:48,840 --> 00:12:51,440
Speaker 1: to like what is everyone just like yeah, not before

268
00:12:51,679 --> 00:12:54,640
Speaker 1: not not my problem, staying away from it until not

269
00:12:54,640 --> 00:12:56,880
Speaker 1: my problem. No one wants to I don't want to

270
00:12:56,880 --> 00:12:58,480
Speaker 1: touch this. I don't know where the Dolphins I got

271
00:12:58,480 --> 00:13:00,480
Speaker 1: a good young quarterbacker. They believe in it, not touching

272
00:13:00,480 --> 00:13:02,200
Speaker 1: it either publicly that I said nothing. They're just being

273
00:13:02,240 --> 00:13:05,960
Speaker 1: but they're not not touching it. I guess they think

274
00:13:06,000 --> 00:13:07,920
Speaker 1: maybe the just juice is worth the squeeze. And Deshaun

275
00:13:08,040 --> 00:13:10,240
Speaker 1: is that good? And if we're wrong, Miami, go ahead

276
00:13:10,240 --> 00:13:12,160
Speaker 1: and say something and we'll stop talking about it. He

277
00:13:12,320 --> 00:13:14,920
Speaker 1: is that good. He's very good player. GMFE, what do

278
00:13:15,000 --> 00:13:17,480
Speaker 1: you guys think about Deshaun Watson, about the Dolphins, about

279
00:13:17,480 --> 00:13:19,679
Speaker 1: the twenty twenty years giving up? In nine days more

280
00:13:19,760 --> 00:13:22,880
Speaker 1: GM up Ahead Jets head coach Robert Salah trying to

281
00:13:22,920 --> 00:13:25,319
Speaker 1: get Zach Wilson ready for Week one. Here with you

282
00:13:25,440 --> 00:13:30,400
Speaker 1: to say about prepping your rookie up next fie for

283
00:13:30,400 --> 00:13:33,199
Speaker 1: today's Wake Up Cup presented by Verizon Jets head coach

284
00:13:33,320 --> 00:13:35,800
Speaker 1: Robert Sala was asked how his experienced as a defensive

285
00:13:35,840 --> 00:13:39,920
Speaker 1: coordinator helpful rookie Zack Wilson combat defenses trying to confuse

286
00:13:40,040 --> 00:13:44,160
Speaker 1: him in game action. Take a look, we've given it

287
00:13:44,200 --> 00:13:48,040
Speaker 1: to him here in camp the best we could, just

288
00:13:48,120 --> 00:13:50,800
Speaker 1: the way we run our defenses, So he's kind of

289
00:13:50,840 --> 00:13:54,160
Speaker 1: getting used to all the stuff around his feed. You

290
00:13:54,200 --> 00:13:55,720
Speaker 1: guys saw it again to day with all the eleven

291
00:13:55,880 --> 00:13:59,319
Speaker 1: eleven work we did, flipping coverages on him and just

292
00:13:59,400 --> 00:14:02,200
Speaker 1: trying to make it hard on him, and it's going

293
00:14:02,240 --> 00:14:04,199
Speaker 1: to be no different. So's he's going to get the

294
00:14:04,280 --> 00:14:07,400
Speaker 1: same same action. You know, talking to Mike on the field,

295
00:14:07,440 --> 00:14:09,439
Speaker 1: we make it so chaotic and practice that we just

296
00:14:09,720 --> 00:14:11,280
Speaker 1: can't help but feel like the game's going to be

297
00:14:11,320 --> 00:14:15,360
Speaker 1: slower for him. So we're we're excited about what he's

298
00:14:15,360 --> 00:14:18,040
Speaker 1: been able to get exposed to and not just a

299
00:14:18,120 --> 00:14:20,160
Speaker 1: matter of doing our best to give him all the

300
00:14:20,200 --> 00:14:22,520
Speaker 1: indicators possible so he can make a pre snap decision

301
00:14:22,840 --> 00:14:26,600
Speaker 1: so he can get the ball where it needs to go. Damn, Joe,

302
00:14:26,600 --> 00:14:29,320
Speaker 1: I imagine you subscribed to this theory of really giving

303
00:14:29,400 --> 00:14:31,360
Speaker 1: it to the young rookie on defense so he's ready

304
00:14:31,400 --> 00:14:34,240
Speaker 1: for game action, maybe even feel slower once it actually starts.

305
00:14:34,400 --> 00:14:38,040
Speaker 1: Oh absolutely. I mean giving it to any any young

306
00:14:38,120 --> 00:14:40,720
Speaker 1: football player or anybody on your roster. That's how you

307
00:14:40,840 --> 00:14:44,360
Speaker 1: get better iron sharp as iron, and so yes to

308
00:14:44,480 --> 00:14:47,200
Speaker 1: hear Rob Sila talk about, Look, we make it so

309
00:14:47,360 --> 00:14:50,880
Speaker 1: hard in practice that games are easy. That's how it's

310
00:14:50,920 --> 00:14:54,800
Speaker 1: supposed to be. You can guarantee Sam Donald didn't have

311
00:14:55,000 --> 00:14:57,560
Speaker 1: it super hard on him in practice. And I point

312
00:14:57,640 --> 00:15:00,160
Speaker 1: that out because I say, when they were running, was

313
00:15:00,160 --> 00:15:01,760
Speaker 1: all out blizzeres and he was like, man, you know

314
00:15:01,880 --> 00:15:04,520
Speaker 1: I didn't know what was going on. I'm sitting at home, like, dude,

315
00:15:04,600 --> 00:15:07,760
Speaker 1: you gotta like break some type of out route or something.

316
00:15:07,840 --> 00:15:10,240
Speaker 1: You can't just sit there in zero coverage and let

317
00:15:10,280 --> 00:15:13,440
Speaker 1: your man run deep. And so, yes, this is how

318
00:15:13,480 --> 00:15:15,640
Speaker 1: it's supposed to be. I remember Mike Shanahan used to

319
00:15:15,800 --> 00:15:18,320
Speaker 1: make us go at it in practice, and it was

320
00:15:18,440 --> 00:15:21,240
Speaker 1: times that you know, we didn't want to be out there,

321
00:15:21,360 --> 00:15:22,920
Speaker 1: but we fought as hard as we could. And it

322
00:15:23,000 --> 00:15:25,520
Speaker 1: was even times that we as starters would go over

323
00:15:25,600 --> 00:15:27,600
Speaker 1: to the scout team and beat up on the starter

324
00:15:27,760 --> 00:15:30,240
Speaker 1: receivers and all those guys because we felt like, look,

325
00:15:30,760 --> 00:15:32,480
Speaker 1: they need this kind of work. This is the kind

326
00:15:32,520 --> 00:15:35,960
Speaker 1: of work they need. You know. We shortened up practices.

327
00:15:36,080 --> 00:15:39,000
Speaker 1: We put groups on different fields to make sure that

328
00:15:39,080 --> 00:15:41,920
Speaker 1: we got good on good so that come game time

329
00:15:42,320 --> 00:15:44,440
Speaker 1: they were ready to roll, you know. And I point

330
00:15:44,520 --> 00:15:46,400
Speaker 1: that out because it was Robert Griffin the third. It

331
00:15:46,480 --> 00:15:49,040
Speaker 1: was his year that we split those practices up. And

332
00:15:49,080 --> 00:15:51,320
Speaker 1: guys like man, we're taking way, ain't too many reps,

333
00:15:51,600 --> 00:15:53,600
Speaker 1: and coaches like no, I need the ones on the

334
00:15:53,680 --> 00:15:55,840
Speaker 1: ones and the twos can go down there, but we

335
00:15:55,920 --> 00:15:58,040
Speaker 1: gotta make sure this young guys ready to play football

336
00:15:58,080 --> 00:16:00,440
Speaker 1: for us. So that's a matter of philosophers well, because

337
00:16:00,480 --> 00:16:02,680
Speaker 1: a lot of times the ones will go up against

338
00:16:02,720 --> 00:16:05,200
Speaker 1: the twos on defense and vice versa. Which leads me

339
00:16:05,240 --> 00:16:07,280
Speaker 1: to Justin Fields. We've been talking about a bunch. I

340
00:16:07,320 --> 00:16:09,080
Speaker 1: think Justin Fields is going up against the number ones.

341
00:16:09,120 --> 00:16:11,080
Speaker 1: Now he's a scout team quarterback folds of the three.

342
00:16:11,560 --> 00:16:14,800
Speaker 1: So if anything, whereas we're frustrated that Justin Fields might

343
00:16:14,840 --> 00:16:17,000
Speaker 1: not be starting right away, we know that in practice

344
00:16:17,040 --> 00:16:18,880
Speaker 1: he's going up against Khalil Mack, he's going to against

345
00:16:18,960 --> 00:16:21,960
Speaker 1: Eddie Goldman, and he's going up against Roquan Smith. Justin Fields,

346
00:16:22,080 --> 00:16:26,080
Speaker 1: while we're watching these preseason games. Is in the practices

347
00:16:26,120 --> 00:16:28,040
Speaker 1: going up against the number one Bears defense and they're

348
00:16:28,080 --> 00:16:29,640
Speaker 1: coming at him and he has to run that scout

349
00:16:29,680 --> 00:16:31,680
Speaker 1: team and do as best job as he can. I

350
00:16:31,800 --> 00:16:33,960
Speaker 1: bring that up because I remember Mahomes was always going

351
00:16:34,080 --> 00:16:36,360
Speaker 1: up against the number one Chiefs defense that first season

352
00:16:36,400 --> 00:16:39,040
Speaker 1: where Alex Smith was the starter. And that's a philosophy

353
00:16:39,080 --> 00:16:41,400
Speaker 1: of hey, you take your rookie quarterback, you let him

354
00:16:41,440 --> 00:16:44,160
Speaker 1: learn by doing it in practice against our friendly fire,

355
00:16:44,200 --> 00:16:45,960
Speaker 1: as opposed to throwing him into the field and throw

356
00:16:46,000 --> 00:16:48,080
Speaker 1: them to the mix that first week against the Aaron

357
00:16:48,120 --> 00:16:50,640
Speaker 1: Donalds and the Jalen Ramses and whatever else. Trust me,

358
00:16:50,760 --> 00:16:52,560
Speaker 1: these rookies, no matter what it is, they're going to

359
00:16:52,680 --> 00:16:54,400
Speaker 1: get their reps in practice. It's just a difference matter

360
00:16:54,400 --> 00:16:56,200
Speaker 1: of philosophy. Whether you want to do it that way.

361
00:16:56,280 --> 00:16:59,080
Speaker 1: Was Zach Wilson ones on ones let's go or take

362
00:16:59,160 --> 00:17:01,280
Speaker 1: justin fields. You're gonna run the scout team, but you're

363
00:17:01,280 --> 00:17:03,360
Speaker 1: gonna see it all playing up against the number one defense.

364
00:17:03,400 --> 00:17:05,080
Speaker 1: And who was standing there on Alex Smith and Patrick

365
00:17:05,080 --> 00:17:09,480
Speaker 1: Mahomes were doing that. Matt Naggie was standing. I think

366
00:17:09,520 --> 00:17:12,399
Speaker 1: the Wilson thing's fascinating. I agree with the philosophy. It's like,

367
00:17:13,000 --> 00:17:15,080
Speaker 1: why do baseball players put that weight on their back

368
00:17:15,119 --> 00:17:16,760
Speaker 1: before they swing it so when they get up there,

369
00:17:16,760 --> 00:17:19,200
Speaker 1: it's actually easier and lighter. And I think the Wilson

370
00:17:19,280 --> 00:17:21,920
Speaker 1: thing that jumps out is the joint practices with the Packers.

371
00:17:22,359 --> 00:17:25,520
Speaker 1: I mean, they went two days against Rogers and Gayra

372
00:17:25,560 --> 00:17:28,399
Speaker 1: Elexander and all those good starters, and from everything you

373
00:17:28,480 --> 00:17:30,520
Speaker 1: read about it, like the Jets got their clocks cleaned,

374
00:17:30,640 --> 00:17:33,359
Speaker 1: you know, but like that's even better than a joint practice.

375
00:17:33,400 --> 00:17:36,800
Speaker 1: I just wonder, like, is sala old school, Like D'Angel

376
00:17:36,840 --> 00:17:38,880
Speaker 1: you mentioned Mike Shanahan. Mike Shannon was a head coach

377
00:17:38,920 --> 00:17:41,800
Speaker 1: in the eighties, I mean then literally the nineteen eighties

378
00:17:41,880 --> 00:17:43,800
Speaker 1: he was a head coach. So I don't know if

379
00:17:43,840 --> 00:17:46,480
Speaker 1: that still exists in the era of cell phone breaks

380
00:17:46,560 --> 00:17:50,360
Speaker 1: and more seriously, injury concern and resting starters and wide

381
00:17:50,400 --> 00:17:52,800
Speaker 1: receivers are don't on a practice. So all this like

382
00:17:52,960 --> 00:17:55,400
Speaker 1: let's go hard on everybody. That's great. I just don't

383
00:17:55,440 --> 00:17:56,960
Speaker 1: know if it's kind of a dying breed and if

384
00:17:57,000 --> 00:17:59,879
Speaker 1: Salah's a call back to a different era. Three teams,

385
00:18:00,080 --> 00:18:05,920
Speaker 1: your temperature on the Jets leading up to this first game. Yeah,

386
00:18:06,400 --> 00:18:09,040
Speaker 1: he's like, I always follow your roller coaster. Well, what

387
00:18:09,200 --> 00:18:11,080
Speaker 1: Kay is referring to is a matter of weeks ago,

388
00:18:11,119 --> 00:18:12,680
Speaker 1: we'd say what do we think about the Jets, and like,

389
00:18:12,960 --> 00:18:15,399
Speaker 1: I go get a wild card. I'm I'm excited, Salo

390
00:18:15,520 --> 00:18:17,920
Speaker 1: and are you know more with me and Peter Now, well,

391
00:18:18,640 --> 00:18:20,359
Speaker 1: I think it was a little disingenuine before. I think

392
00:18:20,359 --> 00:18:22,320
Speaker 1: I've always went with you guys. But there's a spirit

393
00:18:22,400 --> 00:18:24,040
Speaker 1: on the show of hey, everyone can win. If you

394
00:18:24,080 --> 00:18:26,680
Speaker 1: look at their roster, it's it's it's lacking a lot.

395
00:18:26,880 --> 00:18:28,680
Speaker 1: And I look, you see Sala and you see Wilson,

396
00:18:28,760 --> 00:18:29,879
Speaker 1: say this is gonna be fine. We can get to

397
00:18:29,960 --> 00:18:31,320
Speaker 1: nine wins. I don't know how they're gonna get to

398
00:18:31,400 --> 00:18:32,879
Speaker 1: tell me what you want to see out of that kid,

399
00:18:33,080 --> 00:18:36,680
Speaker 1: Zach Wilson. Then toughness more than anything, like especially like

400
00:18:37,000 --> 00:18:38,720
Speaker 1: there's a whole factor with Wilson has nothing to do

401
00:18:38,760 --> 00:18:40,479
Speaker 1: with football, has to do with New York, and has

402
00:18:40,480 --> 00:18:42,160
Speaker 1: to do with the media. I want him to be tough.

403
00:18:42,240 --> 00:18:43,639
Speaker 1: I want him to do the Eli thing where he

404
00:18:43,680 --> 00:18:45,200
Speaker 1: gets his nose bloody and gets up and then it

405
00:18:45,240 --> 00:18:47,440
Speaker 1: has a cool quote after the after the game. I

406
00:18:47,480 --> 00:18:49,159
Speaker 1: just want Hi, keep getting up and keep throwing, Like

407
00:18:49,320 --> 00:18:51,920
Speaker 1: even if they go four and thirteen or whatever the

408
00:18:52,000 --> 00:18:53,960
Speaker 1: math works out, I just wanted to keep up, shut

409
00:18:54,080 --> 00:18:56,040
Speaker 1: up and toughen up, and it'll be great, I promise

410
00:18:56,119 --> 00:18:57,760
Speaker 1: either it will be at least one or two highlight

411
00:18:57,800 --> 00:19:00,600
Speaker 1: passes from Zach Wilson. No matter how much time wild plays.

412
00:19:00,800 --> 00:19:02,960
Speaker 1: You might be sack sixty seventy times. We don't know.

413
00:19:03,080 --> 00:19:06,000
Speaker 1: I mean, as Derek David Carr numbers, but he will

414
00:19:06,080 --> 00:19:08,359
Speaker 1: have one of those freakish throws. Where're like, all right,

415
00:19:08,440 --> 00:19:10,760
Speaker 1: I see the arm talent and there is reason for optimism.

416
00:19:10,880 --> 00:19:12,840
Speaker 1: Are we are we two kids gloving them? Should we

417
00:19:12,880 --> 00:19:15,440
Speaker 1: expect more from the Jets? I mean, I think the

418
00:19:15,560 --> 00:19:18,280
Speaker 1: Jets are going to compete, you know now, Now, how

419
00:19:18,359 --> 00:19:21,920
Speaker 1: does that translate to wins? I don't know. I don't know,

420
00:19:22,400 --> 00:19:24,800
Speaker 1: but I think they'll compete. I think you'll see a

421
00:19:24,960 --> 00:19:28,080
Speaker 1: much different football team because of the attitudes from their

422
00:19:28,160 --> 00:19:31,320
Speaker 1: coaches um that they'll kind of bring onto the football field.

423
00:19:31,320 --> 00:19:32,560
Speaker 1: I think they'll feel like they can go in and

424
00:19:32,720 --> 00:19:34,800
Speaker 1: win games they got. Do you think the Sean Watson

425
00:19:34,840 --> 00:19:36,280
Speaker 1: and the Dolphins will let them up on the play?

426
00:19:39,080 --> 00:19:44,560
Speaker 1: I think so. They were wrong this segment Scott Prizes,

427
00:19:44,800 --> 00:19:48,080
Speaker 1: and we got another full dose and preseason football this

428
00:19:48,200 --> 00:19:50,600
Speaker 1: week this past week and got the last dose. So

429
00:19:50,720 --> 00:19:54,120
Speaker 1: it's time to update our rookie rankings at each position

430
00:19:54,240 --> 00:19:57,760
Speaker 1: with something we've been doing all month on called Rookie Risers.

431
00:19:57,880 --> 00:20:00,840
Speaker 1: Here's how it works. Last week, each of us went

432
00:20:00,880 --> 00:20:03,840
Speaker 1: around the table. We took their top three rookies at

433
00:20:03,880 --> 00:20:07,480
Speaker 1: a position. Peter Talk's quarterbacks. I took running backs, Adams

434
00:20:07,520 --> 00:20:10,280
Speaker 1: down the receivers in D'Angelo when I'll take the baton

435
00:20:10,359 --> 00:20:13,480
Speaker 1: and talk defensive rookies. We're tracking them through the whole preseason.

436
00:20:13,680 --> 00:20:15,560
Speaker 1: Who's the best. It's kind of like power ranking, but

437
00:20:15,720 --> 00:20:17,960
Speaker 1: rookie risers, and we'll be updating our rankings based on

438
00:20:18,040 --> 00:20:21,600
Speaker 1: the entire preseason. For the players at the number one spots,

439
00:20:22,240 --> 00:20:26,920
Speaker 1: they will be receiving a highly highly coveted Good Morning

440
00:20:27,040 --> 00:20:30,840
Speaker 1: Football mug quick backstory. Can you tell why? Okay, why

441
00:20:30,840 --> 00:20:32,960
Speaker 1: do you feel that way I feel about the mug?

442
00:20:33,160 --> 00:20:36,200
Speaker 1: Let you feel about the Hall of Fame. I'm an elitist.

443
00:20:36,359 --> 00:20:39,320
Speaker 1: It's a rare company unless you steal one. I don't

444
00:20:39,359 --> 00:20:41,880
Speaker 1: know that anybody outside of what Cam Jordan who walked

445
00:20:41,920 --> 00:20:45,719
Speaker 1: off with one one day. That's fine, that's on him.

446
00:20:46,040 --> 00:20:49,359
Speaker 1: This is really we just heard Robert Sala talk about

447
00:20:49,440 --> 00:20:51,920
Speaker 1: giving rookies all they can handle, and we're just giving

448
00:20:51,960 --> 00:20:55,200
Speaker 1: out our most coveted possession that everyone wants and asks

449
00:20:55,240 --> 00:20:58,119
Speaker 1: for to these rookies. I've been struggling to come up

450
00:20:58,119 --> 00:21:00,399
Speaker 1: with wide receivers at the rookie spot that have done

451
00:21:00,440 --> 00:21:02,440
Speaker 1: anything in the preseason. I'm not here for it. It's

452
00:21:02,440 --> 00:21:05,359
Speaker 1: whose idea was this complete mess up? Whose idea was

453
00:21:05,400 --> 00:21:09,320
Speaker 1: this an award? And they came up with the mug.

454
00:21:09,560 --> 00:21:11,960
Speaker 1: The mug is a crazy award. I'm with the ka.

455
00:21:12,080 --> 00:21:14,000
Speaker 1: I think the mugs are sacred. I don't think rookies

456
00:21:14,000 --> 00:21:15,399
Speaker 1: deserve them. We've they've got to earn it after their

457
00:21:15,440 --> 00:21:16,960
Speaker 1: second year in the way. I don't think we're sending

458
00:21:16,960 --> 00:21:18,840
Speaker 1: them mugs. I'm not okay with it. People have come

459
00:21:18,880 --> 00:21:21,439
Speaker 1: by guests and dignitaries and royalty and they say, can

460
00:21:21,480 --> 00:21:22,720
Speaker 1: I get one of those cool mugs? And we're like,

461
00:21:26,480 --> 00:21:29,720
Speaker 1: but well, Remandre Stevenson happened? Or kick it off with quarterback.

462
00:21:29,800 --> 00:21:31,240
Speaker 1: It is a cool deal, though, that we're doing this,

463
00:21:31,400 --> 00:21:34,080
Speaker 1: that we're going to give the best player at each

464
00:21:34,160 --> 00:21:36,919
Speaker 1: position from a preseason in the rookie class, and it's

465
00:21:36,920 --> 00:21:39,359
Speaker 1: almost like we've been tracking this the Olympics and now

466
00:21:39,760 --> 00:21:42,240
Speaker 1: let's give our gold medals out. Okay, let's start off,

467
00:21:42,560 --> 00:21:46,359
Speaker 1: and I'm not giving the mug. I'm David Baker and

468
00:21:46,440 --> 00:21:48,760
Speaker 1: his paws couldn't grab me a kit cat. And I

469
00:21:48,840 --> 00:21:52,360
Speaker 1: had Wilson number one, Lands number two, Fields number three.

470
00:21:53,119 --> 00:21:58,000
Speaker 1: It has been shaken up after the Commune cumulative preseason.

471
00:21:58,040 --> 00:22:02,680
Speaker 1: All right, the number three preseason quarterback out of the

472
00:22:02,760 --> 00:22:05,760
Speaker 1: rookie class with Vera Lawrence. I thought he was awesome

473
00:22:05,880 --> 00:22:07,520
Speaker 1: this last week and I think that got him into

474
00:22:07,560 --> 00:22:11,000
Speaker 1: the top of three after a really tough performance against

475
00:22:11,040 --> 00:22:13,040
Speaker 1: New Orleans where it seemed like the offensive line was

476
00:22:13,119 --> 00:22:15,399
Speaker 1: let him out to drive. He was missing fourd to

477
00:22:15,480 --> 00:22:18,440
Speaker 1: his five offensive linemen against the Cowboys and still went

478
00:22:18,480 --> 00:22:20,960
Speaker 1: eleven of twelve and sliced and diced him up. He

479
00:22:21,000 --> 00:22:24,520
Speaker 1: also had that incredible pass to Marvin Jones and that

480
00:22:24,640 --> 00:22:27,720
Speaker 1: Browns game early on. Trevor Lawrence is gonna be a

481
00:22:27,760 --> 00:22:29,840
Speaker 1: no brainer. He is probably the favorite to be offensive

482
00:22:29,880 --> 00:22:32,720
Speaker 1: Rookie of the Year, but in the preseason he was

483
00:22:32,800 --> 00:22:36,480
Speaker 1: not number one. He was number three, number two. The

484
00:22:36,560 --> 00:22:38,479
Speaker 1: guy who was number one. The past two weeks, Zac

485
00:22:38,520 --> 00:22:41,960
Speaker 1: Wilson's number two. He falls to two. Did not play

486
00:22:42,000 --> 00:22:45,440
Speaker 1: it down due to A McKay Beckton wasn't in the

487
00:22:45,520 --> 00:22:48,560
Speaker 1: game this past week and B there was a torrential

488
00:22:48,680 --> 00:22:51,880
Speaker 1: rain start. You know, our our pa in our production

489
00:22:52,119 --> 00:22:54,679
Speaker 1: and staff was like, all right, where where is Wilson

490
00:22:54,760 --> 00:22:56,840
Speaker 1: on this list? He's number two, that's where he's gonna be.

491
00:22:57,000 --> 00:22:59,400
Speaker 1: I'm sorry that that is what it is. He didn't

492
00:22:59,440 --> 00:23:00,920
Speaker 1: play in the third game, and although he looked great,

493
00:23:00,920 --> 00:23:03,480
Speaker 1: he only played a couple of drives. The number one

494
00:23:03,560 --> 00:23:06,159
Speaker 1: player of all of preseason at the quarterback position is

495
00:23:06,240 --> 00:23:09,560
Speaker 1: someone who I think we got ear and won it

496
00:23:09,680 --> 00:23:14,000
Speaker 1: by scraping and crawling into this list. Every time Mac

497
00:23:14,080 --> 00:23:17,320
Speaker 1: Jones took the field. This guy was nails and what

498
00:23:17,480 --> 00:23:19,600
Speaker 1: he was going up again? Ay wearing a red fifty

499
00:23:19,720 --> 00:23:23,520
Speaker 1: jersey all of training camp. B a bonafied starter in

500
00:23:23,640 --> 00:23:26,680
Speaker 1: Cam Newton and see a lot of haters. To be honest,

501
00:23:26,720 --> 00:23:28,200
Speaker 1: I mean a lot of people were rooting for Mac

502
00:23:28,280 --> 00:23:30,359
Speaker 1: Jones to not be everything that he was in the

503
00:23:30,400 --> 00:23:32,840
Speaker 1: preseason and he might fail in the pros. I don't know.

504
00:23:33,000 --> 00:23:36,280
Speaker 1: But as far as the twenty twenty one preseason. My

505
00:23:36,480 --> 00:23:40,480
Speaker 1: top rookie quarterback was not Trey Lance with his amazing plays,

506
00:23:40,640 --> 00:23:43,359
Speaker 1: was not justin fields with his amazing buzz. And it

507
00:23:43,520 --> 00:23:46,760
Speaker 1: wasn't Lawrence or Wilson. It was the fifth quarterback taken

508
00:23:47,160 --> 00:23:49,720
Speaker 1: in the first round. I'm going with Mac Jones. I

509
00:23:49,760 --> 00:23:51,480
Speaker 1: don't know what you get, whether it be a gold

510
00:23:51,560 --> 00:23:55,080
Speaker 1: medal or whatever, not a mug, but the number one

511
00:23:55,200 --> 00:24:00,480
Speaker 1: rookie quarterback in preseason twenty twenty one was Mac Jones.

512
00:24:01,960 --> 00:24:07,040
Speaker 1: Is anomalous. I know some coaches in Chicago laren't. But

513
00:24:07,119 --> 00:24:09,280
Speaker 1: Peter he took an unflattering picture a couple of years ago. One,

514
00:24:09,280 --> 00:24:10,600
Speaker 1: how can you number one? All right, let me rip

515
00:24:10,720 --> 00:24:12,560
Speaker 1: through the running backs? This this one, this cruise a

516
00:24:12,600 --> 00:24:15,639
Speaker 1: little bit Motley. We gotta shake up and the final

517
00:24:15,720 --> 00:24:20,119
Speaker 1: and the metal round Number three world meet my number

518
00:24:20,200 --> 00:24:24,480
Speaker 1: three on the McKay sergeant from the Tennessee Titans. McKay

519
00:24:24,560 --> 00:24:27,760
Speaker 1: sergeant is undrafted out of Iowa guys. He was really

520
00:24:27,880 --> 00:24:30,040
Speaker 1: productive in the preseason. He finished with one hundred and

521
00:24:30,160 --> 00:24:34,520
Speaker 1: eighty seven rushing yards, two touchdowns, one receiving one. Rusty

522
00:24:34,640 --> 00:24:36,960
Speaker 1: is great. He's five foot eights undrafted. You know the

523
00:24:37,000 --> 00:24:39,359
Speaker 1: Iowa guys always run hard. And if this guy can

524
00:24:39,440 --> 00:24:42,120
Speaker 1: make the team, McKay, sergeant, we would have a backfield

525
00:24:42,160 --> 00:24:44,399
Speaker 1: if he and Derrick Henry with I call sergeant and

526
00:24:44,480 --> 00:24:48,400
Speaker 1: slaughter and I'm way into it. So McKay, sergeant, welcome

527
00:24:48,440 --> 00:24:51,280
Speaker 1: to the metal stand next one. I'll be very quick, guys.

528
00:24:51,320 --> 00:24:53,360
Speaker 1: I just the body of work here in the impressive tape.

529
00:24:53,400 --> 00:24:55,320
Speaker 1: I'm gonna put Najia Harris right back in the number

530
00:24:55,359 --> 00:24:58,000
Speaker 1: two spot. Did not play in the third preseason game,

531
00:24:58,080 --> 00:25:00,479
Speaker 1: and I don't care. This guy. It looks like he's

532
00:25:00,520 --> 00:25:03,280
Speaker 1: gonna have three hundred carries this year. Looked great. Kept

533
00:25:03,280 --> 00:25:05,120
Speaker 1: trying to jump over everybody early. I don't know why

534
00:25:05,160 --> 00:25:06,840
Speaker 1: he was doing that so much, but he calmed down

535
00:25:07,080 --> 00:25:09,359
Speaker 1: and Nazi, we will see you in the opener and

536
00:25:09,520 --> 00:25:12,520
Speaker 1: maybe the playoffs. But the number one guys, Peter went

537
00:25:12,600 --> 00:25:17,040
Speaker 1: with Patriots quarterback Mac Jones. I'm gonna Patriots running back reminder, Stephenson,

538
00:25:17,160 --> 00:25:20,359
Speaker 1: did you not? How could I not? Mister August he

539
00:25:20,560 --> 00:25:23,560
Speaker 1: has been the guy. Two hundred and seventeen Russian jobs

540
00:25:23,680 --> 00:25:27,680
Speaker 1: and five touchdowns in three games, including this, the longest

541
00:25:27,760 --> 00:25:30,400
Speaker 1: play of the preseason, and ninety one yard or beautiful

542
00:25:30,640 --> 00:25:33,359
Speaker 1: wild things were happening in New England. We got the quarterback,

543
00:25:33,840 --> 00:25:35,960
Speaker 1: we got the running back, and they're not supposed to

544
00:25:35,960 --> 00:25:38,040
Speaker 1: be able to draft. I thought, now that's my metal

545
00:25:38,080 --> 00:25:39,960
Speaker 1: stand and you know what, he went wire at a

546
00:25:40,000 --> 00:25:42,119
Speaker 1: wire at number one. I'll send him a damn mug out.

547
00:25:42,160 --> 00:25:44,520
Speaker 1: Oh you can have my mug reminder. I'll go out

548
00:25:44,560 --> 00:25:48,560
Speaker 1: him a Dixie cup. Adams whiteouts. They wouldn't even give smug.

549
00:25:50,160 --> 00:25:52,200
Speaker 1: I don't think the world understands. It was like year

550
00:25:52,359 --> 00:25:55,240
Speaker 1: three and a Christmas present that the four hosts of

551
00:25:55,320 --> 00:26:00,320
Speaker 1: the show received mugs. Aaron Rodgers, Roger Goodell, these are

552
00:26:00,359 --> 00:26:02,760
Speaker 1: people who Paul Rudd. If these people don't have moves,

553
00:26:02,800 --> 00:26:05,200
Speaker 1: you're going to send one too. Romandre Stevenson, I don't

554
00:26:05,200 --> 00:26:07,119
Speaker 1: know those guys had five touchdowns in the preseason. WHOA.

555
00:26:07,520 --> 00:26:10,040
Speaker 1: All right, here's how I ranked the rookie wide receivers.

556
00:26:10,200 --> 00:26:12,760
Speaker 1: Last week. We had all right, Terrace Marshall, June. You

557
00:26:12,800 --> 00:26:14,800
Speaker 1: guys know I love the Panthers. He was at number one.

558
00:26:14,920 --> 00:26:17,200
Speaker 1: Rondo Moore, you know I love number eighty five, rod

559
00:26:17,240 --> 00:26:20,760
Speaker 1: titwell out there and Jalen Darden. All Right, let's take

560
00:26:20,760 --> 00:26:26,160
Speaker 1: a look as the accumulative post preseason three finale actual, yeah,

561
00:26:26,560 --> 00:26:29,080
Speaker 1: two two at well, he's a second rounder for the Rams,

562
00:26:29,400 --> 00:26:31,040
Speaker 1: so the first player that's took in this draft because

563
00:26:31,040 --> 00:26:32,639
Speaker 1: they don't picked in the first round. And he led

564
00:26:32,640 --> 00:26:36,560
Speaker 1: all receivers to this preseason with eighteen catches. That's impressive.

565
00:26:36,920 --> 00:26:39,520
Speaker 1: He hasn't yet shown the explosive playmaking that we do

566
00:26:39,600 --> 00:26:41,359
Speaker 1: expect to see out of this kid. He's five eight,

567
00:26:41,440 --> 00:26:43,800
Speaker 1: he's a speedster, one hundred forty five pounds, but he's

568
00:26:43,840 --> 00:26:45,800
Speaker 1: got hands. He's reliable in the past game. I think

569
00:26:45,840 --> 00:26:49,600
Speaker 1: we see some big place stucks once the regular season continues.

570
00:26:49,800 --> 00:26:51,720
Speaker 1: All right, let's go with Rondo Moore at number two.

571
00:26:51,800 --> 00:26:53,560
Speaker 1: All right, I wish I could have been at number one,

572
00:26:53,600 --> 00:26:56,600
Speaker 1: but I can't more. His game this weekend against the

573
00:26:56,640 --> 00:26:59,000
Speaker 1: Saints canceled because of the hurricane. Sending all of our love,

574
00:26:59,040 --> 00:27:01,560
Speaker 1: of course, to everyone down the Gulf Coast region. I

575
00:27:01,600 --> 00:27:03,880
Speaker 1: can't hold it against him, so he stays at number two.

576
00:27:03,960 --> 00:27:07,320
Speaker 1: He's looked so quick, so dynamic Cliff is lining him

577
00:27:07,400 --> 00:27:09,359
Speaker 1: up all over the field. D'Angelo was like John of

578
00:27:09,440 --> 00:27:12,400
Speaker 1: the ground watching some of these highlights in the preseason. Yesterday,

579
00:27:12,440 --> 00:27:14,840
Speaker 1: so he touched the ball nine times for sixty three

580
00:27:14,920 --> 00:27:17,960
Speaker 1: yards in the preseason. I'm excited about him at one.

581
00:27:18,520 --> 00:27:21,280
Speaker 1: Gotta give it a Taris Marshall, junior rookie wide receivers

582
00:27:21,320 --> 00:27:23,360
Speaker 1: did to du lunch. Jamar Chase not on this list,

583
00:27:23,440 --> 00:27:27,680
Speaker 1: not even once this preseason, so he continued. He was

584
00:27:27,720 --> 00:27:30,560
Speaker 1: awesome this weekend. Three catches, forty three yards a touchdown

585
00:27:30,640 --> 00:27:33,680
Speaker 1: against his Steelers. Over the course of the preseason, guys

586
00:27:33,760 --> 00:27:37,000
Speaker 1: one hundred eighty one yards, leading rookies, but also second

587
00:27:37,040 --> 00:27:39,600
Speaker 1: most of any receiver in the National Football League, which

588
00:27:39,680 --> 00:27:42,160
Speaker 1: was pretty awesome to see. He has a couple huge

589
00:27:42,200 --> 00:27:45,040
Speaker 1: bombs for Marquis Kallaway did not make it on this list.

590
00:27:45,160 --> 00:27:47,920
Speaker 1: We had a nice couple of nice connections from Tyreek Hill.

591
00:27:47,960 --> 00:27:50,720
Speaker 1: Even Nope, nope, it was Taris Marshall led all the

592
00:27:50,880 --> 00:27:53,440
Speaker 1: yards and he'll be a major factor in this passing game.

593
00:27:53,480 --> 00:27:56,119
Speaker 1: So you don't get a mob Terrists, I'm sorry, but

594
00:27:56,520 --> 00:27:59,399
Speaker 1: great job, good work, and we'll see you in twenty

595
00:27:59,480 --> 00:28:02,520
Speaker 1: twenty two. So I've got the defensive rookies, got a

596
00:28:02,560 --> 00:28:06,080
Speaker 1: Liijah Molden number three, Jeremiah wos Wu called more number

597
00:28:06,119 --> 00:28:09,199

600
00:28:23,840 --> 00:28:27,040
Speaker 1: I know you just added that straight. But let's take

601
00:28:27,080 --> 00:28:30,680
Speaker 1: a look at this week's top top three rookie risers

602
00:28:30,960 --> 00:28:34,679
Speaker 1: on the defensive side. And so my man Patrick Patrick

603
00:28:34,760 --> 00:28:38,640
Speaker 1: Surtain number one, the second not number one, he's number

604
00:28:38,720 --> 00:28:42,160
Speaker 1: three just for lack of just getting out there the reps.

605
00:28:42,160 --> 00:28:43,960
Speaker 1: You know, this guy's gonna be an intricral part of

606
00:28:44,040 --> 00:28:46,080
Speaker 1: what they do in the regular season. So a lot

607
00:28:46,160 --> 00:28:49,240
Speaker 1: of these guys that's gonna be your top players didn't

608
00:28:49,280 --> 00:28:51,240
Speaker 1: get a lot of shine, but we got some first

609
00:28:51,320 --> 00:28:53,280
Speaker 1: round draft picks, so I'm gonna take it over to

610
00:28:53,320 --> 00:28:57,320
Speaker 1: the number two. Number two. We got Joe Tryon, show Yanker,

611
00:28:58,440 --> 00:29:00,520
Speaker 1: and I mean part of that ball to more front.

612
00:29:01,160 --> 00:29:04,680
Speaker 1: We know what Baltimore is about getting pressure on the quarterback,

613
00:29:04,760 --> 00:29:08,000
Speaker 1: and this rookie tammates play. I said, what else Baltimore?

614
00:29:08,080 --> 00:29:12,560
Speaker 1: I said, Baltimore, I met the Bucks. I'm sorry they're

615
00:29:12,560 --> 00:29:15,280
Speaker 1: getting out there on defense. So Sho Yanken rounds out

616
00:29:15,320 --> 00:29:19,120
Speaker 1: the number two spot and number one Quitty Pay. I mean,

617
00:29:19,440 --> 00:29:22,560
Speaker 1: think about the way they play ball in Indianapolis. Man,

618
00:29:22,640 --> 00:29:25,600
Speaker 1: he was just the quintessential dude to come in there

619
00:29:25,640 --> 00:29:27,680
Speaker 1: and be a part of that defense. Man. That defense

620
00:29:27,760 --> 00:29:30,280
Speaker 1: wins football games for the Coats, and Quitty Pay is

621
00:29:30,320 --> 00:29:31,760
Speaker 1: one of those guys who can get out of the

622
00:29:31,840 --> 00:29:34,920
Speaker 1: quarterback has a motor. And I love this story, man,

623
00:29:35,040 --> 00:29:37,959
Speaker 1: I mean the story, just hard work, determination. I mean,

624
00:29:38,040 --> 00:29:39,960
Speaker 1: I love these kids. So he rounds out the number

625
00:29:40,000 --> 00:29:43,640
Speaker 1: one spot right there, Quitty Pay. Quitty Pay makes the list.

626
00:29:43,840 --> 00:29:46,920
Speaker 1: That's the three defense only one hyphen on your final list? Yeah?

627
00:29:47,360 --> 00:29:50,480
Speaker 1: Do we have the entire crew of metal winners, the

628
00:29:50,600 --> 00:29:52,640
Speaker 1: four of them? I know we had a couple of Patriots.

629
00:29:52,640 --> 00:29:54,600
Speaker 1: Who else do we have? Can we show everybody who

630
00:29:54,720 --> 00:29:56,960
Speaker 1: was allegedly supposed to be getting the mug? No, we can't.

631
00:29:57,200 --> 00:29:59,960
Speaker 1: But we had first round guys, We had our Remondrans

632
00:30:00,000 --> 00:30:02,320
Speaker 1: seams in a fourth round guy, and I guess it's

633
00:30:02,320 --> 00:30:03,800
Speaker 1: to each his own if we want to send them

634
00:30:03,880 --> 00:30:06,320
Speaker 1: a mug. Romandre, you're getting one. I got a feeling, Adams,

635
00:30:06,360 --> 00:30:12,000
Speaker 1: you're not sending over my dead body? Will I after hands?

636
00:30:12,320 --> 00:30:14,640
Speaker 1: Are we are we kidding here? Frgs? Are you with

637
00:30:14,760 --> 00:30:16,040
Speaker 1: me on this? Are you want to you want to

638
00:30:16,120 --> 00:30:19,080
Speaker 1: dish the mugs away? I am. I said, give them something.

639
00:30:19,120 --> 00:30:20,800
Speaker 1: There's got to be something we can give these guys.

640
00:30:20,880 --> 00:30:22,840
Speaker 1: They played a month of football, they're the best at

641
00:30:22,880 --> 00:30:25,000
Speaker 1: their position. There's got to be something. Oh in Nate's clauset,

642
00:30:25,040 --> 00:30:27,720
Speaker 1: I've fu still got a bunch of June. Maybe a

643
00:30:27,800 --> 00:30:30,360
Speaker 1: T shirt with Nate's face on it. But the mug,

644
00:30:30,480 --> 00:30:32,360
Speaker 1: I think the mug is we got a pallet of mugs.

645
00:30:32,400 --> 00:30:34,200
Speaker 1: Now maybe the way were going to send them off

646
00:30:34,400 --> 00:30:37,520
Speaker 1: everybody gets. You can't put Philip Rivers and prink Or

647
00:30:37,560 --> 00:30:40,840
Speaker 1: in the Hall of Fame. Bro, welcome back too, Good

648
00:30:41,120 --> 00:30:44,360
Speaker 1: morning football, the welcome and will Siliva from the West Coast.

649
00:30:44,600 --> 00:30:48,239
Speaker 1: Today is cut down day around the NFL, and there

650
00:30:48,440 --> 00:30:53,200
Speaker 1: was one particularly surprising name. That would be Cam Newton,

651
00:30:53,280 --> 00:30:56,640
Speaker 1: whose time in New England is now over. This according

652
00:30:56,720 --> 00:31:00,920
Speaker 1: to NFL Networks Tom Pellicero. Of course, new had signed

653
00:31:01,120 --> 00:31:04,360
Speaker 1: a one year, five point one million dollars deal with

654
00:31:04,560 --> 00:31:08,200
Speaker 1: New England. Newton starting fifteen games for the Patriots in

655
00:31:08,320 --> 00:31:11,640
Speaker 1: twenty twenty, going seven and eight as a starter. But

656
00:31:11,760 --> 00:31:15,240
Speaker 1: of course, as we know, the Patriots selecting quarterback Mac

657
00:31:15,400 --> 00:31:19,720
Speaker 1: Jones fifteenth overall and the twenty twenty one NFL draft,

658
00:31:20,120 --> 00:31:23,920
Speaker 1: Jones led Alabama to the twenty twenty one National Championship.

659
00:31:24,360 --> 00:31:27,880
Speaker 1: Joining us now is the applementioned Tom Pellaicero who brought

660
00:31:28,000 --> 00:31:32,400
Speaker 1: us this news and Tom, what was the reasoning behind

661
00:31:32,600 --> 00:31:37,440
Speaker 1: this move by the Patriots this morning? Will the future

662
00:31:37,680 --> 00:31:41,400
Speaker 1: is now? In New England. Bill Belichick consistently says he

663
00:31:41,440 --> 00:31:43,840
Speaker 1: will always do what is best for the team, and

664
00:31:44,000 --> 00:31:46,880
Speaker 1: in this case, Belichick determined what was best for the

665
00:31:46,960 --> 00:31:50,920
Speaker 1: twenty twenty one Patriots was to release their veteran quarterback

666
00:31:51,080 --> 00:31:54,680
Speaker 1: Cam Newton and roll with the rookie number fifteen overall

667
00:31:54,760 --> 00:31:59,040
Speaker 1: pick Mac Jones as their Week one starter. Now, Newton

668
00:31:59,160 --> 00:32:02,120
Speaker 1: had gotten the vast majority of first team reps through

669
00:32:02,160 --> 00:32:05,280
Speaker 1: the course of training camp and the preseason. Of course,

670
00:32:05,400 --> 00:32:09,240
Speaker 1: he did miss several practices after having an issue with

671
00:32:09,440 --> 00:32:12,440
Speaker 1: COVID testing cadence where he was not able to stay

672
00:32:12,480 --> 00:32:14,600
Speaker 1: within the protocols had to stay out of the building.

673
00:32:14,920 --> 00:32:17,840
Speaker 1: That gave New England an extended look at Jones. But

674
00:32:18,080 --> 00:32:22,920
Speaker 1: Jones had already impressed them through the course of the preseason. Obviously,

675
00:32:23,200 --> 00:32:26,280
Speaker 1: they came to the conclusion Mac Jones is ready for

676
00:32:26,440 --> 00:32:29,120
Speaker 1: this right now, which is not a surprise to other

677
00:32:29,200 --> 00:32:31,720
Speaker 1: people within the league who had studied Jones through the

678
00:32:31,760 --> 00:32:34,280
Speaker 1: pre draft process. In fact, I had one coach for

679
00:32:34,360 --> 00:32:37,160
Speaker 1: another team who had done homework on all the quarterbacks

680
00:32:37,360 --> 00:32:40,680
Speaker 1: who told me back in May Mac Jones is going

681
00:32:40,760 --> 00:32:43,360
Speaker 1: to be the Week one starter. He plays the way

682
00:32:43,560 --> 00:32:46,560
Speaker 1: that the Patriots want to. He is a fast processor,

683
00:32:46,800 --> 00:32:49,840
Speaker 1: He is extraordinarily intelligent, and a guy who from a

684
00:32:49,960 --> 00:32:54,440
Speaker 1: football maturity perspective, is also really good. Performed well when

685
00:32:54,440 --> 00:32:58,080
Speaker 1: he got his opportunities in exhibition games. Now Cam Newton

686
00:32:58,320 --> 00:33:00,720
Speaker 1: set to hit the free agent market. This was always

687
00:33:00,760 --> 00:33:03,560
Speaker 1: a possibility too, even back when Newton resigned with the

688
00:33:03,640 --> 00:33:07,240
Speaker 1: Patriots back in March. His one year contract included a

689
00:33:07,360 --> 00:33:10,280
Speaker 1: two million dollars signing bonus, a one hundred thousand dollars

690
00:33:10,280 --> 00:33:13,760
Speaker 1: workeral bonus. That is all the Patriots have committed financially

691
00:33:13,840 --> 00:33:16,320
Speaker 1: to Cam Newton. He also had a one point five

692
00:33:16,400 --> 00:33:19,600
Speaker 1: million dollars fully guaranteed base salary, but that is subject

693
00:33:19,640 --> 00:33:22,560
Speaker 1: to offsets for money that he might earn with a

694
00:33:22,720 --> 00:33:26,200
Speaker 1: new team. No reason financially New England could not move on,

695
00:33:26,520 --> 00:33:29,480
Speaker 1: and certainly from a football perspective, Bill Belichick has shown

696
00:33:29,560 --> 00:33:32,320
Speaker 1: us time and again that even if it seems unorthodox,

697
00:33:32,640 --> 00:33:35,800
Speaker 1: even if it seems surprising. He knows what he wants

698
00:33:36,040 --> 00:33:38,800
Speaker 1: out of his players, and after just a few months

699
00:33:38,960 --> 00:33:42,680
Speaker 1: with the Patriots, Bill Belichick decided mac Jones is ready

700
00:33:42,800 --> 00:33:47,440
Speaker 1: to be their starting quarterback right now. Will and Belichick

701
00:33:47,600 --> 00:33:50,520
Speaker 1: was holding off on announcing who the starter was going

702
00:33:50,640 --> 00:33:53,800
Speaker 1: to be, calling it, quote a big composite. We have

703
00:33:53,920 --> 00:33:57,320
Speaker 1: a volume of work to look at. Obviously they looked

704
00:33:57,320 --> 00:34:01,000
Speaker 1: at enough and decided that mac Jones their guy under

705
00:34:01,080 --> 00:34:04,680
Speaker 1: center for Week one against the Dolphins. Tom you had

706
00:34:04,800 --> 00:34:07,960
Speaker 1: mentioned that COVID nineteen issue. I know there was some

707
00:34:08,160 --> 00:34:13,040
Speaker 1: exasperation there amongst folks in the New England organization. What

708
00:34:13,320 --> 00:34:17,719
Speaker 1: part did that play in the move today? What that

709
00:34:17,920 --> 00:34:20,360
Speaker 1: did was give mac Jones more of an opportunity that

710
00:34:20,480 --> 00:34:22,680
Speaker 1: he was not getting to that point with the first

711
00:34:22,719 --> 00:34:25,520
Speaker 1: string offense. He got more reps. He certainly got in

712
00:34:25,600 --> 00:34:27,399
Speaker 1: front of the coaches, They got to see him leave

713
00:34:27,440 --> 00:34:29,920
Speaker 1: the huddle, all those types of things that they're evaluating

714
00:34:29,960 --> 00:34:32,160
Speaker 1: through the course of the process. Now, certainly this does

715
00:34:32,200 --> 00:34:35,680
Speaker 1: not seem like a punitive move with Cam Newton. They

716
00:34:35,760 --> 00:34:37,880
Speaker 1: know exactly what Cam is. He was part of the

717
00:34:37,960 --> 00:34:40,800
Speaker 1: team last year, was actually playing pretty well early in

718
00:34:40,880 --> 00:34:44,960
Speaker 1: the season prior to him actually testing positive for COVID nineteen,

719
00:34:45,200 --> 00:34:47,279
Speaker 1: which led to a sequence of events where he missed

720
00:34:47,320 --> 00:34:50,040
Speaker 1: some time and never really seemed to be completely in

721
00:34:50,160 --> 00:34:53,200
Speaker 1: the flow of things. Again, let's be very clear, mac

722
00:34:53,280 --> 00:34:56,400
Speaker 1: Jones earned this. He was the best quarterback that the

723
00:34:56,480 --> 00:34:59,680
Speaker 1: Patriots determined to lead them forward into this season. Even

724
00:34:59,719 --> 00:35:02,680
Speaker 1: though he is a young guy, He's somebody the teammates

725
00:35:02,840 --> 00:35:06,120
Speaker 1: gravitated towards at Alabama. We saw him at his pro

726
00:35:06,280 --> 00:35:08,920
Speaker 1: day compete. Everybody says, oh, he's not He's good of

727
00:35:08,920 --> 00:35:10,960
Speaker 1: an athlete as the other quarterbacks in this draft. So

728
00:35:11,080 --> 00:35:13,560
Speaker 1: he ran a forty, he did the vertical jump, he

729
00:35:13,640 --> 00:35:16,600
Speaker 1: did all those things. They love guys who are competitors

730
00:35:16,880 --> 00:35:19,520
Speaker 1: in New England. Mac Jones showed that Bill Belichick was

731
00:35:19,600 --> 00:35:22,520
Speaker 1: present for that pro day. He ends up sliding all

732
00:35:22,600 --> 00:35:24,960
Speaker 1: the way to them at number fifteen. They didn't have

733
00:35:25,080 --> 00:35:26,880
Speaker 1: to go up and get them. They let the draft

734
00:35:26,960 --> 00:35:29,600
Speaker 1: come to them and they hope now they've got their

735
00:35:29,680 --> 00:35:32,640
Speaker 1: franchise quarterback, not just for the future, but for the present.

736
00:35:32,719 --> 00:35:35,320
Speaker 1: Will We're going to take a quick break, We'll be

737
00:35:35,520 --> 00:35:41,680
Speaker 1: right back. Joining us now is Super Bowl champion quarterback

738
00:35:41,760 --> 00:35:45,080
Speaker 1: and senior advisor for the Washington football team. He's also

739
00:35:45,200 --> 00:35:47,759
Speaker 1: the co founder of the Black College Football Hall of Fame.

740

Speaker 1: joining us. Um Ya Almamada. Grammler State will be taken

744
00:36:03,600 --> 00:36:06,640
Speaker 1: on Tennessee State in the second annual Black College Football

745
00:36:06,719 --> 00:36:09,680
Speaker 1: Hall of Fame Classic. The game would be Sunday, four

746
00:36:09,760 --> 00:36:12,799
Speaker 1: pm Eastern right here on NFL Network. Talk to us

747
00:36:12,840 --> 00:36:15,440
Speaker 1: about why this event is so important for both players

748
00:36:16,080 --> 00:36:20,840
Speaker 1: and HBCUs Well, I think I think number one for

749
00:36:21,280 --> 00:36:24,120
Speaker 1: the two teams that are playing. It's something that we

750
00:36:24,280 --> 00:36:27,040
Speaker 1: did way back in the day. It was like a rival.

751
00:36:27,239 --> 00:36:30,600
Speaker 1: You know, we're doing the two Tall Days and James

752
00:36:30,719 --> 00:36:34,000
Speaker 1: Hunter and people like that. Those games was classic. Every

753
00:36:34,120 --> 00:36:38,240
Speaker 1: year Tennessee State left went through Howyo Valor and Gramming

754
00:36:38,480 --> 00:36:40,319
Speaker 1: State in the Swack, so they hadn't played a lot.

755
00:36:40,800 --> 00:36:43,600
Speaker 1: But I think for what this is happening this weekend

756
00:36:44,280 --> 00:36:48,520
Speaker 1: and with what NFL Network is doing, is actually given

757
00:36:49,040 --> 00:36:52,279
Speaker 1: the young guys an opportunity to be seen and I

758
00:36:52,400 --> 00:36:54,799
Speaker 1: think that's so important and let them know that they've

759
00:36:54,800 --> 00:36:57,439
Speaker 1: got an opportunity to be on TV like everybody else,

760
00:36:57,480 --> 00:37:00,279
Speaker 1: and I think it's opened up the pipeline. A lot

761
00:37:00,320 --> 00:37:02,960
Speaker 1: of guys wanted to come to HBCU because of what

762
00:37:03,239 --> 00:37:06,120
Speaker 1: is happening, and what we're doing is for bringing them

763

Speaker 1: you were watching the prior segment, but on the topic

786
00:38:12,200 --> 00:38:14,799
Speaker 1: of the Washington football team, a very own D'Angelo Hall

787
00:38:15,120 --> 00:38:18,680
Speaker 1: had a moment with the great DeAndre Hopkins which featured

788
00:38:18,719 --> 00:38:21,719
Speaker 1: a slip and some chatter. What was your take on that?

789
00:38:21,800 --> 00:38:25,680
Speaker 1: Because I know you were primmy to de'angelos. Let me

790
00:38:25,719 --> 00:38:28,040
Speaker 1: say that I'm gonna give you credit, you slip, but

791
00:38:28,120 --> 00:38:30,399
Speaker 1: I also want to say, dere Hopkins ran the heck

792
00:38:30,440 --> 00:38:47,920
Speaker 1: of a rock called Stop. You know you wouldn't appreciate, right.

793
00:38:48,000 --> 00:38:51,480
Speaker 1: I guess it did work. It did work, Yes, every

794
00:38:51,560 --> 00:39:01,560
Speaker 1: ye did. Oh boy? I had fun right now? See up, Doug.

795
00:39:01,640 --> 00:39:04,399
Speaker 1: Were you not crying in the breakwatching the photolraphy? Were

796
00:39:04,440 --> 00:39:07,359
Speaker 1: you not one and crying with me? Yes? You were? Well.

797
00:39:07,400 --> 00:39:10,120
Speaker 1: I think I was crying because I think it's you

798
00:39:10,160 --> 00:39:12,319
Speaker 1: know you all was aching and bolding. He kept trying

799
00:39:12,320 --> 00:39:16,319
Speaker 1: to explain himself, and I'm saying to mysel let it go, man,

800
00:39:16,440 --> 00:39:21,160
Speaker 1: let it go. We weren't egging him on. Do you

801
00:39:21,200 --> 00:39:23,160
Speaker 1: mean because we kept wanting to see the play over

802
00:39:23,560 --> 00:39:27,480
Speaker 1: and over and over again. I'm just trying to I'm

803
00:39:27,520 --> 00:39:29,319
Speaker 1: just trying to get the best out of my teammate. Here.

804
00:39:29,680 --> 00:39:38,359
Speaker 1: We love that. Let's talk. You go ahead. Ryan Fitzpatrick

805
00:39:38,520 --> 00:39:42,560
Speaker 1: named the starter of this team, entering his seventeenth season

806
00:39:42,760 --> 00:39:45,240
Speaker 1: in the NFL. How good do you think this offense

807
00:39:45,320 --> 00:39:49,160
Speaker 1: can be with him at the helm? Well, I do

808
00:39:49,400 --> 00:39:53,200
Speaker 1: think the offense has has to compliment the defense. I

809
00:39:53,320 --> 00:39:55,399
Speaker 1: think that's the most important thing because I think our

810
00:39:55,520 --> 00:39:57,640
Speaker 1: defense on them going to do the job, do what

811
00:39:57,719 --> 00:39:59,719
Speaker 1: they have to do. Give him the football, my rhyme,

812
00:40:00,160 --> 00:40:03,000
Speaker 1: protect the football. But he also got to move to football.

813
00:40:03,080 --> 00:40:06,680
Speaker 1: He had some weapons. Um, you know, if if he

814
00:40:06,880 --> 00:40:09,920
Speaker 1: does what the offense did last year, and I think

815
00:40:10,080 --> 00:40:13,040
Speaker 1: Ryan could could operate this offense a lot better than

816
00:40:13,080 --> 00:40:16,000
Speaker 1: anybody did last year. He can get the ball up

817
00:40:16,080 --> 00:40:18,440
Speaker 1: the field, he's gonna take he gonna take chances now.

818
00:40:19,000 --> 00:40:21,040
Speaker 1: And I think that's what I've been missing in this

819
00:40:21,120 --> 00:40:23,600
Speaker 1: football team, is the fact that we got a guy

820
00:40:23,680 --> 00:40:26,240
Speaker 1: that's gonna take chance. We're also gonna hit the guys

821
00:40:26,280 --> 00:40:29,200
Speaker 1: that are open. And Ryan being around a long time,

822
00:40:29,320 --> 00:40:31,600
Speaker 1: you know, you know, he's seen so many things that

823
00:40:31,719 --> 00:40:34,960
Speaker 1: you can't food him anymore. And I think Scott Turner

824
00:40:35,040 --> 00:40:38,720
Speaker 1: got the guy that he feels that can operate this offense.

825
00:40:40,200 --> 00:40:42,800
Speaker 1: All right, we'll see season starts sooner will know. But

826
00:40:43,080 --> 00:40:44,800
Speaker 1: before we get to the season, I want to go

827
00:40:44,920 --> 00:40:47,319
Speaker 1: back to the Seven Days and I want to talk

828
00:40:47,320 --> 00:40:49,960
Speaker 1: about some football jerseys because here on JMFB, we have

829
00:40:50,040 --> 00:40:53,320
Speaker 1: so much love for that Buccaneer creamsicle jersey that you

830
00:40:53,480 --> 00:40:56,840
Speaker 1: rocked all those years ago. And if the Buccaneers parade

831
00:40:56,880 --> 00:40:58,920
Speaker 1: this year to the Super Bowl, Shack Barrett's out there

832
00:40:59,000 --> 00:41:04,640
Speaker 1: celebrating and what's he wearing a throwback Doug Williams Buccaneers jersey.

833
00:41:04,800 --> 00:41:07,800
Speaker 1: It is so cool. We want to know your opinion.

834
00:41:08,120 --> 00:41:12,080
Speaker 1: I know you're in Washington and look at jp phat

835
00:41:12,560 --> 00:41:14,600
Speaker 1: how cool is it for you to see your jersey

836
00:41:14,680 --> 00:41:16,839
Speaker 1: being rocked there when the Buccaneers won their second Super

837
00:41:16,880 --> 00:41:20,320
Speaker 1: Bowl title that that was a great scene for me.

838
00:41:20,560 --> 00:41:22,879
Speaker 1: But but I'm gonna say that, you know, people talk

839
00:41:22,920 --> 00:41:26,359
Speaker 1: about those jerseys and talk about the uniform Tampa Bay

840
00:41:26,600 --> 00:41:29,120
Speaker 1: back in the day with those cream sickles and white

841
00:41:29,200 --> 00:41:34,960
Speaker 1: pants was the best uniform in the NFL by none, Uh,

842
00:41:35,680 --> 00:41:38,680
Speaker 1: the best. I'm to bring him back. I'd have to

843
00:41:38,719 --> 00:41:41,239
Speaker 1: agree with you. I have to agree with that now, Doug.

844
00:41:41,360 --> 00:41:44,279
Speaker 1: I don't agree what you're saying. I slipped, but I

845
00:41:44,360 --> 00:41:49,120
Speaker 1: appreciate you getting some one and and kicking it with us. Man.

846
00:41:49,200 --> 00:41:50,800
Speaker 1: You know, hey, I just had to say that. But

847
00:41:50,880 --> 00:41:53,160
Speaker 1: you know I'm on your side. You know that. I know,

848
00:41:53,400 --> 00:41:55,000
Speaker 1: I know, I know, and I love you, Doug. I

849
00:41:55,040 --> 00:41:58,759
Speaker 1: appreciate it. Thanks for hey, man, take care. I appreciate it.

850
00:41:59,040 --> 00:42:04,000
Speaker 1: Good stuff. Though. After this last week, we did our

851
00:42:04,040 --> 00:42:07,759
Speaker 1: top ten Breakout Players of twenty twenty one. It's annual list.

852
00:42:07,800 --> 00:42:10,480
Speaker 1: I do and Ravens. Running back JK Dobbins came in

853
00:42:10,480 --> 00:42:13,160
Speaker 1: at number two. I was really really positive on JK,

854
00:42:13,320 --> 00:42:14,600
Speaker 1: and I thought he was going to tear up the

855
00:42:14,640 --> 00:42:17,200
Speaker 1: league and all this stuff. Well he's out. He's out.

856
00:42:17,239 --> 00:42:19,280
Speaker 1: He's out for the year, So I get a mulligan.

857
00:42:19,520 --> 00:42:22,480
Speaker 1: All right, JK, hope you're doing well. Your recovery's gonna

858
00:42:22,480 --> 00:42:24,200
Speaker 1: go great. You got some of the best medical team

859
00:42:24,280 --> 00:42:26,800
Speaker 1: working with you. But it's time we get to replace

860
00:42:26,880 --> 00:42:29,440
Speaker 1: him at number two. So I'm gonna give you another name. Okay,

861
00:42:29,880 --> 00:42:32,239
Speaker 1: let's go to New England. And it's not Mac Jones,

862
00:42:32,239 --> 00:42:35,120
Speaker 1: it's not Romandre Stephenson. It's a defensive player. Do you

863
00:42:35,160 --> 00:42:40,160
Speaker 1: guys know who Josh Uche is? Fifty five on the Patriots.

864
00:42:40,760 --> 00:42:45,000
Speaker 1: Josh Uche is tearing up camp and was tearing up

865
00:42:45,080 --> 00:42:47,760
Speaker 1: last year towards the end of this season. Here's his resume.

866
00:42:48,120 --> 00:42:50,399
Speaker 1: Second season with the Patriots. Was our second round pick

867
00:42:50,560 --> 00:42:53,480
Speaker 1: last year, led Michigan in sacks in those two seasons.

868
00:42:53,680 --> 00:42:56,239
Speaker 1: Son of Nigerian immigrants, Ouch is going to be a

869
00:42:56,360 --> 00:42:59,319
Speaker 1: problem this year in the NFL. And if you don't

870
00:42:59,320 --> 00:43:01,959
Speaker 1: want to hear it from me, maybe maybe we should

871
00:43:02,000 --> 00:43:04,080
Speaker 1: hear it from somebody else. You know what, Mark Roller

872
00:43:04,160 --> 00:43:06,879
Speaker 1: or producer? Can we get? Matt Jude on the New

873
00:43:06,920 --> 00:43:12,440
Speaker 1: Fridge and Acquisition talking about Josh Ouch yesterday after the

874
00:43:12,560 --> 00:43:17,120
Speaker 1: preseason wrapped up? True? Probably too much, man, You know,

875
00:43:18,000 --> 00:43:20,040
Speaker 1: I keep teaching him. I'm gonna be about it here

876
00:43:20,120 --> 00:43:23,759
Speaker 1: looking for a new team. But I think he's he's

877
00:43:23,800 --> 00:43:27,359
Speaker 1: just progressing and he's coming into his own player. Uh

878
00:43:27,880 --> 00:43:32,000
Speaker 1: with just how many positions he played on the football field,

879
00:43:32,280 --> 00:43:34,839
Speaker 1: and uh, we line them up inside and we can

880
00:43:34,920 --> 00:43:37,239
Speaker 1: line him up outside, we can line him up off

881
00:43:37,280 --> 00:43:41,680
Speaker 1: the ball, and you know, as he gets more reps

882
00:43:42,040 --> 00:43:45,800
Speaker 1: and repetitions and looks and schemes, different schemes and stuff.

883
00:43:46,480 --> 00:43:49,320
Speaker 1: I think he's just going to continue to grow and

884
00:43:49,480 --> 00:43:51,480
Speaker 1: continue to be a good player. But I don't think

885
00:43:51,800 --> 00:43:53,600
Speaker 1: I have anything to do with that. I think it's

886
00:43:53,640 --> 00:43:56,439
Speaker 1: all him. Uh. You know, he puts in the time

887
00:43:57,080 --> 00:44:02,680
Speaker 1: and the effort and he's reaping the benefit. Wow, that's

888
00:44:02,760 --> 00:44:04,960
Speaker 1: high praise from one of the best pass rushers in

889
00:44:05,000 --> 00:44:08,640
Speaker 1: the NFL. Ouch is expected to play multiple positions in

890
00:44:08,800 --> 00:44:12,600
Speaker 1: that Patriots defense. And guess what, Dante high towers back.

891
00:44:12,960 --> 00:44:16,000
Speaker 1: They have a rejuvenated unit with now Judon on the outside.

892
00:44:16,320 --> 00:44:18,640
Speaker 1: There's a lot to like. Jason Vinevitch is now growing up,

893
00:44:18,680 --> 00:44:22,279
Speaker 1: Kyle Dugger. They have a young core that I think

894
00:44:22,360 --> 00:44:24,120
Speaker 1: is gonna be there for the next ten years. And

895
00:44:24,239 --> 00:44:27,240
Speaker 1: this guy Ouch might be the most important piece. Number

896
00:44:27,320 --> 00:44:30,680
Speaker 1: fifty five, my number two breakout player now that JK.

897
00:44:30,800 --> 00:44:32,920
Speaker 1: Dobbins is out. But I gotta give me someone an offense.

898
00:44:33,040 --> 00:44:36,440
Speaker 1: Right here's our wild card. Our wild car a top eleven.

899
00:44:36,480 --> 00:44:39,520
Speaker 1: Though we got a top eleven, we're adding someone. Trent

900
00:44:39,680 --> 00:44:44,840
Speaker 1: Shirtfield had an amazing preseason. Trent Shirtfield, who came in

901
00:44:44,880 --> 00:44:47,000
Speaker 1: as maybe the fifth or sixth wide out in San

902
00:44:47,080 --> 00:44:50,439
Speaker 1: Francisco this summer, he's gonna maybe have a shot. Maybe

903
00:44:50,480 --> 00:44:52,360
Speaker 1: we'll find a way to get him on in special teams.

904
00:44:52,960 --> 00:44:54,360
Speaker 1: I can tell you guys that they're speaking with the

905
00:44:54,360 --> 00:44:56,640
Speaker 1: folks at San Francisco. Shirtfield's gonna be their number three

906
00:44:56,840 --> 00:44:59,480
Speaker 1: and maybe none number three's none number four because Mohammed

907
00:44:59,520 --> 00:45:02,320
Speaker 1: Sanu has been in the league for fifteen years. Sheffield

908
00:45:02,400 --> 00:45:04,640
Speaker 1: was with Arizona the past few years. It was good

909
00:45:04,880 --> 00:45:06,239
Speaker 1: Kyler would go to him. He was he was a

910
00:45:06,360 --> 00:45:09,759
Speaker 1: solid player, comes out of Vanderbilt undrafted, ends up on

911
00:45:09,880 --> 00:45:12,799
Speaker 1: the forty nine ers. This offseason and this preseason, Trent

912
00:45:12,920 --> 00:45:16,040
Speaker 1: Shirtfield has been everywhere. And Shriffield was really good this

913
00:45:16,160 --> 00:45:18,920
Speaker 1: preseason and has earned it in practice as well. So

914
00:45:19,320 --> 00:45:22,239
