30
00:01:22,628 --> 00:01:24,308

Speaker 2: That's a lion, right, there's a lion r there, and

42
00:01:50,708 --> 00:01:51,308
Speaker 2: he's there.

43
00:01:51,108 --> 00:01:54,428
Speaker 7: For some some lean years some lean years there, and

44
00:01:54,508 --> 00:01:57,428
Speaker 7: sometimes it's a real lion, you know, not just a

45
00:01:57,468 --> 00:02:01,388
Speaker 7: winning lion normal the one who celebrated first down.

46
00:02:05,628 --> 00:02:06,828
Speaker 2: Oh man, ta, how you doing.

47
00:02:07,068 --> 00:02:08,028
Speaker 5: I'm great, guys.

48
00:02:08,268 --> 00:02:11,108
Speaker 8: I moved like literally half a mile from my sister Jamie,

49
00:02:11,108 --> 00:02:13,868
Speaker 8: so they get to come over Whenever he actually came over,

50
00:02:13,948 --> 00:02:16,388
Speaker 8: like around six pm yesterday, the whole family just knock.

51
00:02:16,628 --> 00:02:18,748
Speaker 8: It's a whole family ordeal down there. We need everybody

52
00:02:18,748 --> 00:02:19,348
Speaker 8: down to come.

53
00:02:19,228 --> 00:02:19,948
Speaker 6: In to come down there.

54
00:02:19,948 --> 00:02:22,188
Speaker 3: It would be Kyle Brand's least favorite friend is the

55
00:02:22,228 --> 00:02:24,108
Speaker 3: type that just shows up and knocks on his door.

56
00:02:24,148 --> 00:02:25,988
Speaker 3: But that's why you live near me and not Kyle

57
00:02:26,028 --> 00:02:29,308
Speaker 3: brandt right. He'll be back here soon enough. To GMFB.

58
00:02:29,628 --> 00:02:32,068
Speaker 3: We hope everyone's having an awesome summer. And with that,

59
00:02:32,468 --> 00:02:34,788
Speaker 3: we have some of course, unfortunate news that we have

60
00:02:34,868 --> 00:02:37,788
Speaker 3: to address in the NFL and our country is truly heartbreaking.

61
00:02:37,788 --> 00:02:39,788
Speaker 3: We're going to begin by sending our love and support

62
00:02:40,068 --> 00:02:45,388
Speaker 3: to those affected by the absolutely devastating floods that have

63
00:02:45,588 --> 00:02:49,588
Speaker 3: hit central Texas. This is heartbreaking in the most simplest

64
00:02:49,588 --> 00:02:53,828
Speaker 3: of terms. The two teams in Texas, the Cowboys and

65
00:02:53,908 --> 00:02:57,428
Speaker 3: the Texans, are uniting with the NFL Foundation. It has

66
00:02:57,428 --> 00:03:00,788
Speaker 3: been announced to support the victims and their families.

67
00:03:00,988 --> 00:03:02,668
Speaker 2: Of course, we are thinking of all of you.

68
00:03:03,668 --> 00:03:06,628
Speaker 3: That contribute is totally at this point one point five

69
00:03:06,668 --> 00:03:10,188
Speaker 3: million by those three entities, and of course that would

70
00:03:10,228 --> 00:03:13,188
Speaker 3: be to provide immediate assistance and long term resources to

71
00:03:13,268 --> 00:03:16,948
Speaker 3: those impacted. And you can go to the NFL's website

72
00:03:16,948 --> 00:03:20,548
Speaker 3: if you also want to participate in that support.

73
00:03:23,708 --> 00:03:24,068
Speaker 9: With that.

74
00:03:24,268 --> 00:03:27,508
Speaker 2: On GMFB, we start our conversation.

75
00:03:27,068 --> 00:03:29,948
Speaker 3: With some news that we had to address last week.

76
00:03:29,988 --> 00:03:32,108
Speaker 3: But since we were all just sitting around at home

77
00:03:32,268 --> 00:03:34,228
Speaker 3: like chumps and we took a break.

78
00:03:33,948 --> 00:03:37,468
Speaker 2: From GMFB, we got to talk about the Steelers.

79
00:03:36,988 --> 00:03:39,148
Speaker 3: And why not and the fact that we do not

80
00:03:39,268 --> 00:03:41,628
Speaker 3: have Aaron Rodgers' name on that as we call it,

81
00:03:41,708 --> 00:03:45,548
Speaker 3: lower third praise be because it's not just a quarterback.

82
00:03:45,068 --> 00:03:47,708
Speaker 2: In Pittsburgh that is delivering this news to us.

83
00:03:47,908 --> 00:03:49,548
Speaker 3: It's the fact that one of the biggest moves this

84
00:03:49,588 --> 00:03:53,108
Speaker 3: offseason was when the Miami Dolphins did what they kind

85
00:03:53,108 --> 00:03:55,268
Speaker 3: of were pressured to do, which is trade away their

86
00:03:55,308 --> 00:03:58,668
Speaker 3: cornerback Jalen Ramsey, but they included tight end John hu

87
00:03:58,748 --> 00:04:01,548
Speaker 3: Smith to go to Pittsburgh and in return, the Dolphins

88
00:04:01,548 --> 00:04:05,708
Speaker 3: acquired safety Minca Fitzpatrick. Smithing off of his first Pro

89
00:04:05,788 --> 00:04:07,548
Speaker 3: Bowl season of his career during.

90
00:04:07,308 --> 00:04:09,068
Speaker 2: His loan campaign in Miami.

91
00:04:09,268 --> 00:04:11,308
Speaker 3: Now, he joined his former teammate and a front of

92
00:04:11,308 --> 00:04:15,508
Speaker 3: our show, Toront Armstead on his podcast to discuss the move.

93
00:04:17,668 --> 00:04:20,148
Speaker 10: I'm grateful, I got no ill feelings towards Miami and

94
00:04:20,188 --> 00:04:21,348
Speaker 10: the weather in the organization.

95
00:04:21,788 --> 00:04:22,468
Speaker 6: You know what I mean?

96
00:04:22,908 --> 00:04:24,668
Speaker 10: You know, I can't sit here and lie say that

97
00:04:24,748 --> 00:04:28,628
Speaker 10: it didn't sting when the process was playing itself out,

98
00:04:28,668 --> 00:04:30,948
Speaker 10: and we'll get more of the debt into that, you

99
00:04:30,948 --> 00:04:33,308
Speaker 10: know what I'm saying. But you know, all in all, Bro,

100
00:04:33,428 --> 00:04:35,548
Speaker 10: I'm great. I'm blessed. I'm a Stiller, you know what

101
00:04:35,548 --> 00:04:36,868
Speaker 10: I'm saying, one of them. I'm playing for one of

102
00:04:36,908 --> 00:04:41,108
Speaker 10: the most historic sports franchises and the history of sports,

103
00:04:41,148 --> 00:04:43,028
Speaker 10: you know what I'm saying. And you know, under a

104
00:04:43,028 --> 00:04:45,428
Speaker 10: great head coach with Mike t you know, back with

105
00:04:45,508 --> 00:04:47,228
Speaker 10: my gud Arthur Smith, who I've had a lot of

106
00:04:47,228 --> 00:04:48,708
Speaker 10: success with throughout my.

107
00:04:48,708 --> 00:04:51,548
Speaker 6: Career, and so I'm atremely blessed.

108
00:04:51,548 --> 00:04:51,708
Speaker 1: Bro.

109
00:04:51,788 --> 00:04:52,908
Speaker 6: I couldn't be more excited.

110
00:04:53,068 --> 00:04:55,708
Speaker 3: It's always a good refresher to see the players continue

111
00:04:55,708 --> 00:04:58,908
Speaker 3: to reference the Steelers as one of those premier franchises

112
00:04:59,028 --> 00:05:01,108
Speaker 3: and Mike Tomlin is still one of those top tier

113
00:05:01,148 --> 00:05:03,108
Speaker 3: coaches that they want to play for, and that guy's

114
00:05:03,108 --> 00:05:05,308
Speaker 3: the quarterback now. So we're gonna ask Mantai about how

115
00:05:05,308 --> 00:05:07,508
Speaker 3: we feel about the Pittsburgh Steelers as we sit here

116
00:05:07,548 --> 00:05:08,868
Speaker 3: currently on July seventh.

117
00:05:08,948 --> 00:05:10,948
Speaker 8: I'm kind of like Johnah Smith, I'm really excited about it.

118
00:05:10,988 --> 00:05:13,348
Speaker 8: I like the fact that the Steelers made this trade.

119
00:05:13,348 --> 00:05:15,708
Speaker 8: If you think about it from a defensive standpoint in

120
00:05:15,748 --> 00:05:18,108
Speaker 8: twenty twenty four of the Steelers defense, there are a

121
00:05:18,148 --> 00:05:21,268
Speaker 8: lot of strongholds of that defense, especially in the middle

122
00:05:21,308 --> 00:05:23,148
Speaker 8: of that defense. But you talk about the youth of

123
00:05:23,188 --> 00:05:26,148
Speaker 8: that defense. Those cornerbacks, you had Joey Porter junior who

124
00:05:26,188 --> 00:05:28,068
Speaker 8: was only in his second year, and then you have

125
00:05:28,108 --> 00:05:29,868
Speaker 8: being a Bishop junior who is a rookie.

126
00:05:29,908 --> 00:05:31,548
Speaker 5: So you have a lot of youth there.

127
00:05:31,628 --> 00:05:34,068
Speaker 8: Now you make that trade not only for Jalen Ramsey,

128
00:05:34,108 --> 00:05:36,068
Speaker 8: but you have Darius Slay who just won.

129
00:05:35,908 --> 00:05:39,428
Speaker 5: The Super Bowl. So you have two some of the most.

130
00:05:39,308 --> 00:05:42,588
Speaker 8: Dynamic, most lockdown corners in the NFL.

131
00:05:43,028 --> 00:05:44,708
Speaker 5: That Oh, by the way, you do have TJ. Wall,

132
00:05:44,748 --> 00:05:46,948
Speaker 5: you have High Smith, you have Patrick Queen.

133
00:05:46,988 --> 00:05:50,508
Speaker 8: You have so many stalwart defensive players that have look

134
00:05:50,748 --> 00:05:53,388
Speaker 8: like the traditional steel curtain that we used to see

135
00:05:53,388 --> 00:05:56,548
Speaker 8: for the for the Pittsburgh Steelers. Now, offensively, I'm super

136
00:05:56,588 --> 00:05:59,588
Speaker 8: excited for Johnah Smith going there. You have a full

137
00:05:59,908 --> 00:06:03,708
Speaker 8: tight end room with Jonah Smith, Pat Fryarmuth, Darning Washington,

138
00:06:03,948 --> 00:06:06,988
Speaker 8: and you can sprinkling Connor Heyward from time to time. Now,

139
00:06:07,028 --> 00:06:09,628
Speaker 8: what does this do and Cabinda. You know what kind

140
00:06:09,628 --> 00:06:13,108
Speaker 8: of problems this poses for a defense. Arthur Smith loves

141
00:06:13,148 --> 00:06:15,468
Speaker 8: to run twelve personnel, which is one running back, two

142
00:06:15,468 --> 00:06:18,868
Speaker 8: tight ends, and thirteen personnel. When he was in Atlanta,

143
00:06:18,908 --> 00:06:22,068
Speaker 8: they ran the most twelve and thirteen personnel formations in.

144
00:06:22,068 --> 00:06:25,108
Speaker 5: The entire NFL. Now you have combinations. What are you

145
00:06:25,188 --> 00:06:26,908
Speaker 5: going to do? If I want to run the ball.

146
00:06:26,868 --> 00:06:29,988
Speaker 8: I'm going to stick Darning Washington and Pat Fryarmouth are

147
00:06:29,988 --> 00:06:31,308
Speaker 8: a certain combo of that.

148
00:06:31,308 --> 00:06:32,628
Speaker 5: That's what we call Big twelve.

149
00:06:33,068 --> 00:06:36,068
Speaker 8: If I'm defense, I'm gonna stick my base package out there.

150
00:06:36,748 --> 00:06:39,068
Speaker 8: Now you can go speed twelve. Pat Friarmuth and John

151
00:06:39,108 --> 00:06:41,468
Speaker 8: new Smith. And John new Smith is athletic. You can

152
00:06:41,508 --> 00:06:43,548
Speaker 8: catch a ball. You saw a lot of touchdowns from

153
00:06:43,628 --> 00:06:46,948
Speaker 8: him last year in Miami. So I love this dynamic

154
00:06:47,028 --> 00:06:49,628
Speaker 8: not only for the Pittsburgh Steelers, but for Aaron Rodgers

155
00:06:49,668 --> 00:06:53,308
Speaker 8: as well. Hand the ball off play action pass hit

156
00:06:53,388 --> 00:06:55,428
Speaker 8: DK metcalf for one of these three tight ends that

157
00:06:55,468 --> 00:06:58,268
Speaker 8: you got over there for the Pittsburgh Steelers. So I

158
00:06:58,308 --> 00:07:00,548
Speaker 8: really liked what they did with this trade cup in them.

159
00:07:01,188 --> 00:07:01,908
Speaker 6: I got two.

160
00:07:01,748 --> 00:07:03,988
Speaker 1: Things when it comes to the Pittsburgh Steelers right now,

161
00:07:04,548 --> 00:07:06,068
Speaker 1: A lot of love for Mike t and what he's

162
00:07:06,108 --> 00:07:08,348
Speaker 1: built over there in Pittsburgh, the culture.

163
00:07:08,748 --> 00:07:10,988
Speaker 6: But that's kind of why I worry about some of

164
00:07:11,468 --> 00:07:12,708
Speaker 6: these fits of.

165
00:07:12,628 --> 00:07:15,628
Speaker 1: These players, you know, offensively and defensively. I mean, you

166
00:07:15,668 --> 00:07:17,628
Speaker 1: look at the culture of the Pittsburgh Steelers and kind

167
00:07:17,628 --> 00:07:19,948
Speaker 1: of what has been over the last few years. You know,

168
00:07:19,988 --> 00:07:22,628
Speaker 1: you signed two guys like you know, Russell Wilson and

169
00:07:22,748 --> 00:07:25,908
Speaker 1: Justin Fields to one year deals. Neither of them come back.

170
00:07:26,268 --> 00:07:28,588
Speaker 1: You have me some Rudolph on that up and down.

171
00:07:28,708 --> 00:07:29,908
Speaker 6: Is he the starter? Is he not?

172
00:07:30,308 --> 00:07:33,268
Speaker 1: Now we bring in Aaron Rodgers. Is he a true locker.

173
00:07:33,108 --> 00:07:35,428
Speaker 6: Room fit for the Steelers. That's kind of still to

174
00:07:35,468 --> 00:07:37,468
Speaker 6: be seen. And then we got TJ.

175
00:07:37,548 --> 00:07:40,508
Speaker 1: Watt who still has not signed his contract yet at

176
00:07:40,548 --> 00:07:42,988
Speaker 1: a thread maybe to not show up. So I think

177
00:07:43,028 --> 00:07:45,508
Speaker 1: when you look at this team in the NFL, is

178
00:07:45,628 --> 00:07:48,268
Speaker 1: never a good idea to have a bunch of pieces

179
00:07:48,268 --> 00:07:50,628
Speaker 1: where the stars just have to align right for its work.

180
00:07:50,988 --> 00:07:52,908
Speaker 1: That's just not how the NFL works. The NFL, you

181
00:07:52,948 --> 00:07:55,268
Speaker 1: got to build a team and right now just looks

182
00:07:55,308 --> 00:07:57,508
Speaker 1: too much like all the stars have to align. You

183
00:07:57,588 --> 00:07:59,708
Speaker 1: got Jalen Ramsey coming in, not sure if he's a

184
00:07:59,708 --> 00:08:01,588
Speaker 1: culture fit. It looks like he's going to be more

185
00:08:01,628 --> 00:08:03,788
Speaker 1: of a full time safety than he has at corner.

186
00:08:03,988 --> 00:08:06,028
Speaker 1: We're at for a guy to have a career year

187
00:08:06,108 --> 00:08:08,428
Speaker 1: in the back end of his career at a different position.

188
00:08:08,908 --> 00:08:11,348
Speaker 1: I just don't see some of these things happening. I

189
00:08:11,348 --> 00:08:13,708
Speaker 1: think micka Fitzpatrick is a better player.

190
00:08:13,988 --> 00:08:16,668
Speaker 6: I love John hu Smith. He's been super productive his

191
00:08:16,708 --> 00:08:17,228
Speaker 6: whole career.

192
00:08:17,268 --> 00:08:19,988
Speaker 1: You know you mentioned it, Mansai Arthur Smith, the twelve

193
00:08:20,028 --> 00:08:23,028
Speaker 1: tight end sense him and Pat Fryremouth. They're gonna do damage.

194
00:08:23,268 --> 00:08:25,388
Speaker 1: But you looked at the Cincinnati Bengals last year. That

195
00:08:25,428 --> 00:08:27,868
Speaker 1: offense can go all day long. But if that defense

196
00:08:27,948 --> 00:08:31,188
Speaker 1: isn't secure, if TJ. Watt isn't in a Steelers uniform,

197
00:08:31,348 --> 00:08:32,908
Speaker 1: I don't have a lot of hopes for this team.

198
00:08:33,388 --> 00:08:35,828
Speaker 7: I'm kind of somewhere in between here because I agree

199
00:08:35,868 --> 00:08:38,428
Speaker 7: that there's just not a lot of homegrown pieces of

200
00:08:38,468 --> 00:08:41,468
Speaker 7: this However, Mike t if there's one coach that could

201
00:08:41,468 --> 00:08:43,308
Speaker 7: handle it, is definitely Mike Tomlin.

202
00:08:43,388 --> 00:08:45,068
Speaker 9: His record speaks for itself.

203
00:08:45,388 --> 00:08:47,348
Speaker 7: But it's the off season, so we can talk about

204
00:08:47,348 --> 00:08:49,588
Speaker 7: something that's not necessarily football. I want to point out

205
00:08:49,628 --> 00:08:52,668
Speaker 7: something interesting about like who Arthur Smith could be because

206
00:08:53,068 --> 00:08:56,348
Speaker 7: Arthur Smith's father passed last week from Fred Smith, the

207
00:08:56,468 --> 00:09:01,348
Speaker 7: founder of FedEx, and at one point he literally gambled

208
00:09:01,668 --> 00:09:04,308
Speaker 7: the entire fate of FedEx on a round of black chat.

209
00:09:04,708 --> 00:09:07,428
Speaker 7: So if there's a guy who's well suited to be

210
00:09:07,508 --> 00:09:11,588
Speaker 7: able to understand how these pieces, these disparate pieces could

211
00:09:11,668 --> 00:09:14,068
Speaker 7: fit together, maybe he took something out of his dad's

212
00:09:14,068 --> 00:09:17,388
Speaker 7: playbooks and figure it out right. Because you didn't even

213
00:09:17,548 --> 00:09:23,068
Speaker 7: Mantice mentioned DK Metcalf until almost the end of your analysis,

214
00:09:23,308 --> 00:09:26,428
Speaker 7: which was wild, because that was one of the biggest things.

215
00:09:26,508 --> 00:09:28,708
Speaker 7: I mean, for a while, that's all we could talk about.

216
00:09:28,788 --> 00:09:32,348
Speaker 7: So the fact that that was last in your analysis

217
00:09:32,428 --> 00:09:35,188
Speaker 7: was crazy. But these disparate pieces the stars do you

218
00:09:35,268 --> 00:09:35,948
Speaker 7: have to line?

219
00:09:36,108 --> 00:09:37,308
Speaker 9: I agree with both of you.

220
00:09:37,628 --> 00:09:40,668
Speaker 7: However, I don't know the coaching staff could be well

221
00:09:40,708 --> 00:09:41,428
Speaker 7: suited to do it.

222
00:09:41,828 --> 00:09:44,308
Speaker 9: And if there's a guy Mike Tomlin.

223
00:09:43,988 --> 00:09:46,868
Speaker 7: I just feel like he could get all these interesting

224
00:09:46,908 --> 00:09:49,308
Speaker 7: personalities to work really well together.

225
00:09:49,388 --> 00:09:51,948
Speaker 9: And I love that the Jalen Ramsey back to safety

226
00:09:51,988 --> 00:09:54,388
Speaker 9: because you know, I love a good like two way situation.

227
00:09:54,508 --> 00:09:57,068
Speaker 7: And yeah, Floridas stated he played both, so yes, that

228
00:09:57,188 --> 00:09:59,308
Speaker 7: was at least he's never not done it before.

229
00:09:59,508 --> 00:10:02,068
Speaker 3: Mike Colin was like, wait, I thought I had just

230
00:10:02,108 --> 00:10:06,108
Speaker 3: like a brief respite in personality with trading, George Pickens,

231
00:10:06,148 --> 00:10:07,988
Speaker 3: the Dallas Cowboys like, Nope.

232
00:10:08,068 --> 00:10:10,868
Speaker 2: Can't Taylor Ramsey in here? Tomlin, You're not done yet.

233
00:10:11,948 --> 00:10:12,828
Speaker 2: It is fascinating.

234
00:10:12,828 --> 00:10:14,588
Speaker 3: Combinda, I think it's a great point what you say

235
00:10:14,588 --> 00:10:17,468
Speaker 3: about sometimes relying too much on the stars, just aligning

236
00:10:17,508 --> 00:10:20,708
Speaker 3: for a team that's too much pressure on essentially the

237
00:10:20,748 --> 00:10:23,988
Speaker 3: atmosphere working your way. But if you look at specifically

238
00:10:24,348 --> 00:10:26,308
Speaker 3: for the players that are in that building now that

239
00:10:26,348 --> 00:10:28,188
Speaker 3: are going to hit training camp in I don't know,

240
00:10:28,268 --> 00:10:29,508
Speaker 3: twenty days or so.

241
00:10:29,748 --> 00:10:31,548
Speaker 2: How do you feel about this group?

242
00:10:31,668 --> 00:10:33,668
Speaker 3: If you were one of those guys in the locker room,

243
00:10:33,708 --> 00:10:35,908
Speaker 3: would you feel like we just don't know each other

244
00:10:35,988 --> 00:10:38,788
Speaker 3: well enough, or there's so much talent here. Cobinda, I'll

245
00:10:38,788 --> 00:10:41,508
Speaker 3: start with you that this thing is going to work out.

246
00:10:41,908 --> 00:10:43,788
Speaker 1: I think it obviously feels good when you have a

247
00:10:43,788 --> 00:10:45,868
Speaker 1: guy like Aaron Rodgers walk into your building, a guy

248
00:10:45,908 --> 00:10:47,828
Speaker 1: that you know has proven has done it at a

249
00:10:47,868 --> 00:10:50,348
Speaker 1: high level and has done it consistently for a long time.

250
00:10:50,628 --> 00:10:52,868
Speaker 1: That gives you a ton of confidence. I think guys

251
00:10:53,108 --> 00:10:55,668
Speaker 1: kind of work harder. They pay attention, they look at

252
00:10:55,668 --> 00:10:57,988
Speaker 1: the little details. They watch you for that example, the

253
00:10:58,108 --> 00:11:01,148
Speaker 1: young guys, when you have guys who work nine, ten,

254
00:11:01,228 --> 00:11:04,028
Speaker 1: eleven plus years in the NFL, they want to know

255
00:11:04,068 --> 00:11:06,308
Speaker 1: what is it about this guy that's keeping in here,

256
00:11:06,468 --> 00:11:08,028
Speaker 1: and they're gonna learn from him. They're going to learn

257
00:11:08,028 --> 00:11:10,388
Speaker 1: from his work happens and hopefully grow and get better.

258
00:11:10,428 --> 00:11:12,908
Speaker 1: Then it just raises the standard of the entire program

259
00:11:12,908 --> 00:11:14,948
Speaker 1: because they know a guy like that, you might only

260
00:11:14,948 --> 00:11:16,468
Speaker 1: have a year or two left. We don't really know,

261
00:11:16,788 --> 00:11:18,388
Speaker 1: you know, let's go get this guy a ring. So

262
00:11:18,428 --> 00:11:20,268
Speaker 1: I think it makes everybody kind of just go harder.

263
00:11:20,468 --> 00:11:22,948
Speaker 8: Yeah, no, I like you, especially to what Kabinda said,

264
00:11:22,948 --> 00:11:25,308
Speaker 8: when you have somebody like this. When I was in

265
00:11:26,108 --> 00:11:29,068
Speaker 8: San Diego, we signed Dwight Freenny, who's in the Hall

266
00:11:29,108 --> 00:11:31,308
Speaker 8: of Fame. Now Aaron Rodgers is going to be in

267
00:11:31,308 --> 00:11:32,748
Speaker 8: the Hall of Fame. So what did that do for

268
00:11:32,828 --> 00:11:34,268
Speaker 8: me as a young player in the NFL?

269
00:11:34,428 --> 00:11:35,988
Speaker 5: What did that do for me as a young player

270
00:11:35,988 --> 00:11:36,748
Speaker 5: in this locker room.

271
00:11:36,988 --> 00:11:39,908
Speaker 8: Everywhere that Dwight Fredi went, there were always eyes. We

272
00:11:40,068 --> 00:11:42,228
Speaker 8: all watched him. He used to carry around this little bag.

273
00:11:42,268 --> 00:11:44,348
Speaker 8: It was called an ARP machine. If anybody doesn't know

274
00:11:44,388 --> 00:11:47,428
Speaker 8: what the ARP machine is, it's basically a stem machine

275
00:11:47,468 --> 00:11:50,068
Speaker 8: on steroids. That guy never sat on a seat in

276
00:11:50,108 --> 00:11:51,748
Speaker 8: the in the meeting room. He always sat on the

277
00:11:51,748 --> 00:11:54,068
Speaker 8: ground and he was hooked up to this art machine.

278
00:11:54,148 --> 00:11:57,508
Speaker 8: So everything about him was recovery, recovery, recovery.

279
00:11:57,628 --> 00:11:57,788
Speaker 6: Now.

280
00:11:57,828 --> 00:12:00,428
Speaker 8: I remember one of those one one night, I'm watching

281
00:12:00,468 --> 00:12:01,268
Speaker 8: film and I'm.

282
00:12:01,108 --> 00:12:03,588
Speaker 5: In there late and Dwight Freennie comes.

283
00:12:03,388 --> 00:12:05,948
Speaker 8: Walking into the room and he's like, hey, little bro,

284
00:12:05,988 --> 00:12:07,068
Speaker 8: what are you doing? And I said, oh, man, I'm

285
00:12:07,108 --> 00:12:08,628
Speaker 8: trying to study film. He's like, why are you here

286
00:12:08,668 --> 00:12:11,028
Speaker 8: so late? I said, man, I'm trying to learn this offense.

287
00:12:11,388 --> 00:12:13,148
Speaker 8: And he looked at me and he's like, how long

288
00:12:13,188 --> 00:12:15,188
Speaker 8: do you think it took that offense to learn their

289
00:12:15,188 --> 00:12:17,428
Speaker 8: own offense? I was like, well, a whole off season,

290
00:12:17,828 --> 00:12:19,908
Speaker 8: a training camp. He's like, exactly, what makes you think

291
00:12:19,948 --> 00:12:21,788
Speaker 8: that you're going to learn that offense in five days?

292
00:12:22,308 --> 00:12:25,508
Speaker 8: He's like, learn enough to make you play fast. There's

293
00:12:25,508 --> 00:12:28,668
Speaker 8: a thing called paralysis by analysis. Don't study so much

294
00:12:28,708 --> 00:12:31,268
Speaker 8: where you see a lot, just study enough to where

295
00:12:31,308 --> 00:12:33,708
Speaker 8: you could play fast. And so, as a young player

296
00:12:33,748 --> 00:12:36,108
Speaker 8: to have somebody like Dwight Freeny. To have somebody like

297
00:12:36,148 --> 00:12:39,388
Speaker 8: Aaron Rodgers come into your locker room, come into your franchise,

298
00:12:39,428 --> 00:12:41,548
Speaker 8: you get to watch them like what makes this guy great?

299
00:12:41,548 --> 00:12:43,748
Speaker 8: And you have an example of greatness in front of

300
00:12:43,828 --> 00:12:46,268
Speaker 8: you every single day. And for a young player like myself,

301
00:12:46,428 --> 00:12:48,788
Speaker 8: and for somebody like the Pittsburgh Steelers where they're trying

302
00:12:48,828 --> 00:12:51,348
Speaker 8: to they've been trying to find their way a little bit,

303
00:12:51,428 --> 00:12:54,588
Speaker 8: trying to get back to that championship Mold, it doesn't

304
00:12:54,708 --> 00:12:57,508
Speaker 8: hurt to have somebody like Aaron Rodgers in that locker room,

305
00:12:57,908 --> 00:13:00,188
Speaker 8: in the meal room, just showing you, guys, what do

306
00:13:00,268 --> 00:13:02,228
Speaker 8: you eat, how do you talk? What are your manners?

307
00:13:02,348 --> 00:13:05,468
Speaker 8: Are those type of habits that create winning? And so

308
00:13:05,508 --> 00:13:08,148
Speaker 8: I really like what they got there with Aaron Rodgers

309
00:13:08,148 --> 00:13:09,388
Speaker 8: going to Pittsburgh.

310
00:13:09,388 --> 00:13:10,228
Speaker 2: It's a great story.

311
00:13:10,268 --> 00:13:14,148
Speaker 3: And the parallel, the paralysis by analysis, it's oftentimes how

312
00:13:14,188 --> 00:13:15,868
Speaker 3: I feel about trying to decide what teams are going

313
00:13:15,908 --> 00:13:18,748
Speaker 3: to make the playoffs. Okay, so it is July seventh, Cynthia.

314
00:13:18,828 --> 00:13:21,508
Speaker 3: I will put you to the test first, since you

315
00:13:21,548 --> 00:13:23,628
Speaker 3: are visiting us here on GMFB.

316
00:13:24,228 --> 00:13:26,068
Speaker 2: We don't like to hold people to.

317
00:13:26,068 --> 00:13:28,228
Speaker 3: This too much, but if you're If you're right, then

318
00:13:28,228 --> 00:13:30,268
Speaker 3: we'll just play it back later when you return to GMB.

319
00:13:30,508 --> 00:13:31,548
Speaker 9: So this works both ways.

320
00:13:31,628 --> 00:13:33,788
Speaker 2: We'll hold against you, but if you're right, it's great.

321
00:13:33,868 --> 00:13:35,668
Speaker 3: What do you think about the Steelers making the playoffs

322
00:13:35,668 --> 00:13:36,508
Speaker 3: as we sit in July?

323
00:13:36,668 --> 00:13:39,668
Speaker 7: You know, I see them on the outside just barely

324
00:13:39,948 --> 00:13:42,108
Speaker 7: look like just on the outside.

325
00:13:41,668 --> 00:13:42,508
Speaker 9: Maybe a bubble team.

326
00:13:42,588 --> 00:13:45,188
Speaker 7: Now when I'm looking at their schedule and I'm kind

327
00:13:45,228 --> 00:13:46,708
Speaker 7: of figuring things out, it.

328
00:13:46,668 --> 00:13:48,188
Speaker 9: Is super ironic to me.

329
00:13:48,388 --> 00:13:49,828
Speaker 7: So you have eight point three wins, we do this

330
00:13:49,868 --> 00:13:51,908
Speaker 7: win total things people get mad about fractional.

331
00:13:52,108 --> 00:13:53,508
Speaker 9: We get it. Eight point three wins.

332
00:13:53,508 --> 00:13:55,908
Speaker 7: That means that they are eighth or ninth. They're kind

333
00:13:55,908 --> 00:13:58,388
Speaker 7: of tied in that little spot which means outside looking

334
00:13:58,428 --> 00:14:00,708
Speaker 7: at right. So when I'm looking at this one and

335
00:14:00,748 --> 00:14:03,988
Speaker 7: I'm saying, where are the gates that could be pivotal, Well,

336
00:14:04,028 --> 00:14:06,308
Speaker 7: you have to remember that the Steelers they play the

337
00:14:06,388 --> 00:14:09,588
Speaker 7: NFC North ironic and also the AFC East. Those are

338
00:14:09,628 --> 00:14:12,828
Speaker 7: their rotational ones, including their division. Right, so week one

339
00:14:12,908 --> 00:14:16,028
Speaker 7: against the Jets, that's an interesting Are these disparate pieces

340
00:14:16,068 --> 00:14:18,068
Speaker 7: going to come together in time to beat the Jets?

341
00:14:18,108 --> 00:14:21,148
Speaker 7: Because that could be a pivotal game come the end

342
00:14:21,148 --> 00:14:22,988
Speaker 7: of the season where that could be one of those

343
00:14:23,028 --> 00:14:25,748
Speaker 7: difference making games. And then October twenty sixth, that's when

344
00:14:25,748 --> 00:14:28,468
Speaker 7: they play the Packers. That could be another one. Where

345
00:14:28,748 --> 00:14:29,588
Speaker 7: is Jordan Love?

346
00:14:29,628 --> 00:14:30,108
Speaker 9: What's going on?

347
00:14:30,188 --> 00:14:33,668
Speaker 7: There? Is the defense now that you Jaw's not there anymore,

348
00:14:33,748 --> 00:14:36,228
Speaker 7: gire Alexander. Is this the defense that's going to be

349
00:14:36,268 --> 00:14:39,868
Speaker 7: formidable or not? So there are some really interesting I mean,

350
00:14:39,868 --> 00:14:41,508
Speaker 7: we couldn't have written it better, right.

351
00:14:41,708 --> 00:14:43,508
Speaker 9: The script writers did a really good job on this way.

352
00:14:43,548 --> 00:14:46,268
Speaker 3: And the Steelers going to Ireland too in October, like

353
00:14:46,388 --> 00:14:47,588
Speaker 3: to play the vig games.

354
00:14:47,628 --> 00:14:48,828
Speaker 2: Beautiful, beautiful shit.

355
00:14:49,388 --> 00:14:52,308
Speaker 8: So you're saying that you think they're out of the playoffs.

356
00:14:52,388 --> 00:14:53,148
Speaker 9: I think they're out.

357
00:14:53,228 --> 00:14:55,508
Speaker 7: It's possible though if they if a few of those

358
00:14:55,548 --> 00:14:58,628
Speaker 7: games going in a different direction, they could make it in.

359
00:14:58,668 --> 00:15:01,068
Speaker 9: But it's hard for me to say.

360
00:15:01,388 --> 00:15:04,708
Speaker 7: I'm looking at their division and I'm saying going to

361
00:15:04,788 --> 00:15:07,268
Speaker 7: be you're not going to pass the Ravens to win

362
00:15:07,268 --> 00:15:09,548
Speaker 7: the division, which would be my most certain way.

363
00:15:09,348 --> 00:15:10,548
Speaker 9: For them to make the playoffs.

364
00:15:10,828 --> 00:15:13,348
Speaker 7: Now that's second and third spot the Bengals have they

365
00:15:13,348 --> 00:15:16,708
Speaker 7: fix their defense, I'm not sure, right, So it's possible,

366
00:15:16,748 --> 00:15:19,108
Speaker 7: but I think they're most likely not, So I'm.

367
00:15:18,988 --> 00:15:19,908
Speaker 5: Saying no, I like that.

368
00:15:19,948 --> 00:15:21,868
Speaker 8: I like that comin. I think they get seventh. I

369
00:15:21,868 --> 00:15:24,428
Speaker 8: honestly do. I think they don't win the AFC North.

370
00:15:24,708 --> 00:15:26,828
Speaker 8: I think that the Baltimore Ravens win that. But I

371
00:15:26,868 --> 00:15:28,508
Speaker 8: do think that this team is a lot better than

372
00:15:28,548 --> 00:15:30,828
Speaker 8: they were last year, and last year they were second

373
00:15:30,828 --> 00:15:33,148
Speaker 8: in AFC North, and so I think they get that

374
00:15:33,308 --> 00:15:35,948
Speaker 8: seventh seed in the AFC A playoffs.

375
00:15:35,948 --> 00:15:37,308
Speaker 5: So, COBNDO, what do you think?

376
00:15:37,548 --> 00:15:37,788
Speaker 6: I mean.

377
00:15:37,828 --> 00:15:39,828
Speaker 1: I think it's gonna be a good team by the

378
00:15:39,948 --> 00:15:41,388
Speaker 1: end of the year, but I think the team's gonna

379
00:15:41,388 --> 00:15:43,468
Speaker 1: have growing pains at the beginning, and by the time

380
00:15:43,468 --> 00:15:45,508
Speaker 1: they start looking like the team we think they're gonna be,

381
00:15:45,548 --> 00:15:46,788
Speaker 1: it's gonna be a bit too late.

382
00:15:47,068 --> 00:15:49,028
Speaker 6: That's what I think about this. I think they're out.

383
00:15:49,068 --> 00:15:51,588
Speaker 2: Bunch of people get so mad about with the decimal because.

384
00:15:51,348 --> 00:15:53,428
Speaker 7: They're like, you can't win a fractional game.

385
00:15:53,788 --> 00:15:55,588
Speaker 9: But I get it, right, get it.

386
00:15:56,188 --> 00:15:59,068
Speaker 7: But here's the thing, ahead of the game being played.

387
00:15:59,468 --> 00:16:02,028
Speaker 7: You it's not a coin flip fifty to fifty, huh right,

388
00:16:02,028 --> 00:16:03,788
Speaker 7: but that would mean point five?

389
00:16:03,948 --> 00:16:04,268
Speaker 5: Get it?

390
00:16:04,588 --> 00:16:07,788
Speaker 9: Yeah? Return, thanks guys.

391
00:16:08,428 --> 00:16:09,428
Speaker 2: This is why she's here.

392
00:16:09,468 --> 00:16:09,708
Speaker 4: Math.

393
00:16:09,908 --> 00:16:14,188
Speaker 3: She's the math is just math in all right, And

394
00:16:14,188 --> 00:16:16,748
Speaker 3: that's what the Pitsburgh Steelers thought when they signed Rogers.

395
00:16:16,788 --> 00:16:19,268
Speaker 3: Plus they sent Justin Fields to New York. But the

396
00:16:19,268 --> 00:16:20,988
Speaker 3: Steelers and the Jets, they got to play each other.

397
00:16:20,988 --> 00:16:23,428
Speaker 3: As she just mentioned, is there optimism in either one

398
00:16:23,468 --> 00:16:26,148
Speaker 3: of these cities? Can Fields do what Rogers could not

399
00:16:26,268 --> 00:16:28,068
Speaker 3: do with the Jets with the helmet on his head,

400
00:16:28,308 --> 00:16:30,348
Speaker 3: on his camera on his helmet, My god, it's still

401
00:16:30,348 --> 00:16:32,748
Speaker 3: so strange to see. I know everybody does it. That's

402
00:16:32,748 --> 00:16:34,828
Speaker 3: what we're going to talk about here on gmfbe.

403
00:16:34,948 --> 00:16:37,668
Speaker 5: Plus the running backs? Do you want to list?

404
00:16:37,668 --> 00:16:41,068
Speaker 8: Cynthia has her top ten running backs, not for just

405
00:16:41,108 --> 00:16:44,588
Speaker 8: this season, but for the fantasy football season. Season is

406
00:16:44,668 --> 00:16:47,188
Speaker 8: right around the corner. Stay tuned this GMFB on a Monday.

407
00:16:47,268 --> 00:17:01,228
Speaker 11: Let's go Good Morning Football.

408
00:17:02,028 --> 00:17:05,508
Speaker 3: I am misspelling the easiest world on the planet on

409
00:17:05,588 --> 00:17:08,348
Speaker 3: my whiteboard. Come on, Jamie, get it together. The show

410
00:17:08,428 --> 00:17:10,788
Speaker 3: is back on the air. What's happening with people's GMFP.

411
00:17:10,988 --> 00:17:12,668
Speaker 3: We're gonna play a game. The point is I was

412
00:17:12,708 --> 00:17:16,228
Speaker 3: writing the word word in this singular sense. Okay, we're

413
00:17:16,268 --> 00:17:18,828
Speaker 3: gonna play what's the word. I've got quotes on quotes

414
00:17:18,828 --> 00:17:21,508
Speaker 3: on quotes from NFL players from the last couple of weeks.

415
00:17:21,668 --> 00:17:24,588
Speaker 3: And everyone's got their whiteboards. They are writing a single word,

416
00:17:24,628 --> 00:17:26,268
Speaker 3: and frankly, I wish I had a buzzer. I feel

417
00:17:26,268 --> 00:17:28,068
Speaker 3: like a teacher, like I'm Jason Cabinda's mom.

418
00:17:28,428 --> 00:17:31,108
Speaker 2: You must use just one word for the assignment.

419
00:17:31,268 --> 00:17:33,468
Speaker 3: Is everybody ready at the tables?

420
00:17:33,708 --> 00:17:34,948
Speaker 5: Ready? Ready? One word?

421
00:17:35,308 --> 00:17:36,828
Speaker 3: All right, here we go. Raise your hand when you're

422
00:17:36,828 --> 00:17:37,948
Speaker 3: ready to talk. No, I'm just kidding.

423
00:17:38,068 --> 00:17:39,668
Speaker 2: We kick things off with the Jets with.

424
00:17:39,708 --> 00:17:41,868
Speaker 3: Jet safety Andre Cisco, who was talking about his new

425
00:17:41,948 --> 00:17:45,588
Speaker 3: quarterback to serious radio, saying and I quote, I'm excited

426
00:17:45,628 --> 00:17:47,828
Speaker 3: for him to prove those who are doubting him wrong

427
00:17:47,868 --> 00:17:50,348
Speaker 3: and those who are supporting him right, because I think

428
00:17:50,388 --> 00:17:52,668
Speaker 3: he's going to have a huge year. He thinks he's

429
00:17:52,668 --> 00:17:54,588
Speaker 3: going to have a huge year. That is justin fields

430
00:17:54,628 --> 00:17:56,868
Speaker 3: as the quarterback. According to his safety on the Jets,

431
00:17:56,868 --> 00:18:00,228
Speaker 3: Andre Cisco, one word when we hear the line, he's

432
00:18:00,268 --> 00:18:01,748
Speaker 3: going to have a huge year.

433
00:18:02,108 --> 00:18:03,188
Speaker 2: Mantai, what's your word?

434
00:18:03,348 --> 00:18:06,428
Speaker 8: My word is one word for sure, one syllable bet

435
00:18:06,548 --> 00:18:09,068
Speaker 8: oh bet. Now covinna, you understand what this word is.

436
00:18:09,108 --> 00:18:12,188
Speaker 8: You got to understand the context behind the sentence to

437
00:18:12,268 --> 00:18:14,028
Speaker 8: understand the definition of the word wow.

438
00:18:14,148 --> 00:18:15,388
Speaker 5: Bet. If I am.

439
00:18:15,468 --> 00:18:17,668
Speaker 8: Justin Fields and I hear my teammate talk to me

440
00:18:17,708 --> 00:18:20,468
Speaker 8: and say I'm going to have a big year, I'm like, bet,

441
00:18:20,828 --> 00:18:22,308
Speaker 8: I got to work out, I got to train, I

442
00:18:22,308 --> 00:18:24,508
Speaker 8: got to make sure that I don't let my teammate down.

443
00:18:24,708 --> 00:18:26,988
Speaker 8: If I'm Aaron Glenn and I hear one of my

444
00:18:27,108 --> 00:18:31,148
Speaker 8: players compliment another player, I'm like, bet, the culture is working.

445
00:18:31,228 --> 00:18:33,828
Speaker 8: My culture is brewing. Things are looking good heading into

446
00:18:33,868 --> 00:18:37,108
Speaker 8: this season. If I am one of the players that

447
00:18:37,668 --> 00:18:39,868
Speaker 8: Justin Fields is about to play and I hear that, oh,

448
00:18:40,068 --> 00:18:41,588
Speaker 8: one of his teammates said that he's going to have

449
00:18:41,628 --> 00:18:44,108
Speaker 8: a huge year and I'm playing him Jamie, I'm like, bet,

450
00:18:44,148 --> 00:18:46,628
Speaker 8: he ain't going to have that huge, huge game against me.

451
00:18:46,948 --> 00:18:50,028
Speaker 8: And to Cynthia's points, she is fantasy football. If I'm

452
00:18:50,068 --> 00:18:52,868
Speaker 8: a fantasy football owner and I hear my team, one

453
00:18:52,868 --> 00:18:55,828
Speaker 8: of the Jets guys say, oh, Justin Fields is going

454
00:18:55,908 --> 00:18:58,908
Speaker 8: to be have a huge year. As a fantasy owner,

455
00:18:58,948 --> 00:19:02,148
Speaker 8: I'm like, bete, Cynthia, I got the guys, what an

456
00:19:02,188 --> 00:19:04,908
Speaker 8: adp of what one on one? I think his average

457
00:19:04,988 --> 00:19:06,948
Speaker 8: draft position on Fantasy football is one on one so

458
00:19:06,988 --> 00:19:07,788
Speaker 8: I can get him in like.

459
00:19:07,748 --> 00:19:08,748
Speaker 5: The ninth or tenth round.

460
00:19:08,908 --> 00:19:09,508
Speaker 2: Then.

461
00:19:09,868 --> 00:19:11,228
Speaker 5: So that's my word, Cynthia.

462
00:19:11,308 --> 00:19:14,868
Speaker 8: It's it's it's very short, but it's straight to it's good.

463
00:19:15,108 --> 00:19:16,748
Speaker 9: I'm speaking to all Jets fans here.

464
00:19:16,948 --> 00:19:17,268
Speaker 2: Hope.

465
00:19:17,868 --> 00:19:20,188
Speaker 9: You know, I feel hope. Hope's a good thing.

466
00:19:20,308 --> 00:19:21,108
Speaker 4: I hope.

467
00:19:21,108 --> 00:19:21,588
Speaker 2: He's right.

468
00:19:22,148 --> 00:19:22,988
Speaker 5: It doesn't say.

469
00:19:22,828 --> 00:19:24,348
Speaker 2: Nope, No says hope.

470
00:19:24,508 --> 00:19:28,148
Speaker 9: Wait, hold on, No, it's.

471

Speaker 5: Nope. So is it hope or nope?

Speaker 7: he's gonna win MVP? That's a huge year? Yeah, he said,

481
00:19:52,068 --> 00:19:55,068
Speaker 7: Like what does huge mean? I just and of course

482
00:19:55,108 --> 00:19:57,468
Speaker 7: you say that it's your teammate. You would always want

483
00:19:57,508 --> 00:19:59,308
Speaker 7: you want it, always jazz your teammates up.

484
00:19:59,308 --> 00:20:02,268
Speaker 9: But let's just yeah, get let him let him be.

485
00:20:02,468 --> 00:20:03,788
Speaker 5: Yeah, let him be, let him be.

486
00:20:04,028 --> 00:20:05,868
Speaker 2: Don't that out there for him? Cabenda. What do you

487
00:20:05,868 --> 00:20:07,068
Speaker 2: got what's your one word of the day.

488
00:20:07,668 --> 00:20:10,708
Speaker 6: You started with the word hope. I'm one letter off

489
00:20:10,868 --> 00:20:17,628
Speaker 6: from you. My word is hype. Nice look.

490
00:20:17,988 --> 00:20:20,228
Speaker 1: I love Justin Fields. I love what the got going on,

491
00:20:20,388 --> 00:20:23,708
Speaker 1: especially offensively. I think this team is going to be

492
00:20:23,988 --> 00:20:27,148
Speaker 1: an absolute demon to stop. In the run game between

493
00:20:27,228 --> 00:20:29,948
Speaker 1: him Briest Hall Byalen Allen, I think it's got to

494
00:20:29,988 --> 00:20:32,428
Speaker 1: be great. The zone read action that Downhill runs.

495
00:20:32,588 --> 00:20:35,508
Speaker 6: I think it's going to be good. But right now,

496
00:20:35,668 --> 00:20:37,628
Speaker 6: before we see it, you gotta show me.

497
00:20:37,948 --> 00:20:38,828
Speaker 1: Now it's all hype.

498
00:20:38,908 --> 00:20:40,308
Speaker 6: I gotta go see you on the field.

499
00:20:40,668 --> 00:20:43,548
Speaker 1: I hope, like you said, Cynthia, I hope that the

500
00:20:43,668 --> 00:20:44,428
Speaker 1: thing pans out.

501
00:20:44,668 --> 00:20:48,268
Speaker 3: Hope, nope, pipe and bit perfect. Well done, everybody, all right.

502
00:20:48,308 --> 00:20:51,268
Speaker 3: Travis Kelcey had some thoughts on how the NFL is

503
00:20:51,308 --> 00:20:54,388
Speaker 3: going to attack rookie Travis Hunter.

504
00:20:54,628 --> 00:20:55,668
Speaker 2: This is what Kelsey had to say.

505
00:20:55,708 --> 00:20:57,388
Speaker 3: Teams are going to go after him. They're going to

506
00:20:57,588 --> 00:21:00,908
Speaker 3: try and make his day miserable. If he plays corner,

507
00:21:01,108 --> 00:21:03,148
Speaker 3: They're just going to run deep balls at him all

508
00:21:03,268 --> 00:21:05,988
Speaker 3: day long and exhaust Probably. That was on a Busting

509
00:21:05,988 --> 00:21:09,588
Speaker 3: with the Boys podcast that Kelsey was on recently. Kapinda,

510
00:21:09,788 --> 00:21:13,148
Speaker 3: I'll start with you one word to describe your anticipation

511
00:21:13,908 --> 00:21:16,988
Speaker 3: of Travis Hunter and the unicorn that he could be

512
00:21:17,028 --> 00:21:17,548
Speaker 3: in the NFL.

513
00:21:17,708 --> 00:21:22,268
Speaker 6: This is what I got for you, guys, eruption. If

514
00:21:22,308 --> 00:21:24,188
Speaker 6: you guys can see there, we got eruption. All right.

515
00:21:24,668 --> 00:21:28,188
Speaker 1: This is what's gonna happen when Travis Hunter scores his

516
00:21:28,188 --> 00:21:31,748
Speaker 1: first touchdown, and especially when he does something big on

517
00:21:31,788 --> 00:21:33,828
Speaker 1: the opposite side. So I think it's going to be

518
00:21:33,828 --> 00:21:35,548
Speaker 1: the second action that's.

519
00:21:35,388 --> 00:21:36,428
Speaker 6: The real eruption.

520
00:21:36,588 --> 00:21:39,068
Speaker 1: He's gonna catch a touchdown, and then when he catches

521
00:21:39,108 --> 00:21:42,108
Speaker 1: that pick or vice versa, that whole stateum is gonna

522
00:21:42,268 --> 00:21:45,628
Speaker 1: erupt because what we saw in college, this guy, he's

523
00:21:45,668 --> 00:21:49,228
Speaker 1: a unicorn. Like you said, there's nobody like it. We've

524
00:21:49,268 --> 00:21:50,988
Speaker 1: never What he's gonna do this year is going to

525
00:21:51,028 --> 00:21:54,748
Speaker 1: be unprecedented in the NFL to come in and have

526
00:21:54,828 --> 00:21:57,948
Speaker 1: the ability to possibly start on both sides of the

527
00:21:57,948 --> 00:21:59,988
Speaker 1: ball and have that big of a role on.

528
00:21:59,948 --> 00:22:03,588
Speaker 6: Both sides of the ball. Eruption, Baby, it's coming.

529
00:22:05,108 --> 00:22:07,988
Speaker 8: Like I like what Compa said, but committed did say

530
00:22:08,228 --> 00:22:12,268
Speaker 8: a specific word in college, but this is now the NFL.

531
00:22:12,348 --> 00:22:14,108
Speaker 8: Combitit that you know what that what that looks like

532
00:22:14,148 --> 00:22:17,108
Speaker 8: in that that transition. I'm hopeful that he makes that transition.

533
00:22:17,148 --> 00:22:21,148
Speaker 8: I'm really rooting for him, but I am neutral when

534
00:22:21,188 --> 00:22:23,588
Speaker 8: it comes to this excitement, I'm I'm I'm kind of

535
00:22:23,628 --> 00:22:25,828
Speaker 8: in the middle of the reason why is because defensively,

536
00:22:25,868 --> 00:22:29,228
Speaker 8: I'm really excited to see Travis Hunter play for the

537
00:22:29,308 --> 00:22:33,468
Speaker 8: Jacksonville Jaguars. Why because his defensive coordinator, Capanelli, he comes

538
00:22:33,468 --> 00:22:36,708
Speaker 8: from the Vic Fangio coaching treat So what does that mean.

539
00:22:36,788 --> 00:22:39,268
Speaker 8: Vic Fangio runs at least amount of man coverage. He

540
00:22:39,348 --> 00:22:41,788
Speaker 8: runs a lot of zone. So in my opinion, if

541
00:22:41,828 --> 00:22:43,268
Speaker 8: I am a defensive.

542
00:22:42,748 --> 00:22:44,988
Speaker 5: Player and I'm running zone a lot, now that.

543
00:22:44,988 --> 00:22:48,428
Speaker 8: Allows me to play instinctual and anything. If you watch

544
00:22:48,508 --> 00:22:52,588
Speaker 8: Travis Hunter play football, he's a very instinctive player. Now, offensively,

545
00:22:52,628 --> 00:22:54,428
Speaker 8: I'm not so excited about that because you know that

546
00:22:54,468 --> 00:22:57,508
Speaker 8: Brian Thomas Junior is your wide receiver one, so you're

547
00:22:57,548 --> 00:23:00,028
Speaker 8: gonna be a wide receiver two, maybe wide receiver three.

548
00:23:00,108 --> 00:23:03,748
Speaker 8: So I'm really excited about his defensive outlook, but I'm

549
00:23:03,788 --> 00:23:05,308
Speaker 8: not so excit about his offense.

550
00:23:05,348 --> 00:23:06,748
Speaker 5: Hence neutral.

551
00:23:06,788 --> 00:23:08,428
Speaker 9: Okay, I'm going.

552
00:23:08,188 --> 00:23:12,148
Speaker 7: With a math term parabolic and both meanings of it

553
00:23:12,188 --> 00:23:14,868
Speaker 7: meaning a parable like to make something simple. I'm going

554
00:23:14,908 --> 00:23:17,348
Speaker 7: to simplify the game plan for him on both sides,

555
00:23:17,388 --> 00:23:20,188
Speaker 7: so even if they hammer him with deep balls, they'll

556
00:23:20,188 --> 00:23:23,308
Speaker 7: figure it out and then he's going to go parabolic,

557
00:23:23,348 --> 00:23:26,508
Speaker 7: as in, he's just going to have absolutely Once that learning.

558
00:23:26,308 --> 00:23:30,148
Speaker 9: Curve happens, whoop up into the right now. Math is good.

559
00:23:30,948 --> 00:23:31,668
Speaker 9: It works. It's a double.

560
00:23:32,228 --> 00:23:34,068
Speaker 3: Whenever my dad needs to send me off to school

561
00:23:34,068 --> 00:23:35,748
Speaker 3: every day, he would say, make your brain better. And

562
00:23:35,748 --> 00:23:37,308
Speaker 3: it doesn't really happen a lot at school, but it's

563
00:23:37,308 --> 00:23:38,188
Speaker 3: happening with you every day.

564
00:23:38,188 --> 00:23:38,748
Speaker 4: I'm on the show and.

565
00:23:40,228 --> 00:23:43,068
Speaker 3: I've got my teacher handwriting, Yeah, you have a great

566
00:23:43,108 --> 00:23:44,828
Speaker 3: fond great Cynthia freelo fond.

567
00:23:46,788 --> 00:23:48,028
Speaker 2: Okay, well done, everybody.

568
00:23:48,548 --> 00:23:51,188
Speaker 3: Cynthia tried to cheat with the graph with her word,

569
00:23:51,228 --> 00:23:54,108
Speaker 3: but I'm going to allow it. Lamar Jackson told Kevin

570
00:23:54,148 --> 00:23:56,228
Speaker 3: Hart quote, as I've been getting older in.

571
00:23:56,148 --> 00:23:57,748
Speaker 2: The league, I love this.

572
00:23:57,988 --> 00:24:00,988
Speaker 3: My mindset has been different and the game has gotten

573
00:24:01,028 --> 00:24:01,788
Speaker 3: a lot easier.

574
00:24:02,108 --> 00:24:02,468
Speaker 9: Okay.

575
00:24:02,468 --> 00:24:04,228
Speaker 2: So that's Lamar Jackson as the thing.

576
00:24:04,428 --> 00:24:07,268
Speaker 3: As the seasons have gone on, it's become easier because

577
00:24:07,588 --> 00:24:08,948
Speaker 3: his mind understands game better.

578
00:24:09,028 --> 00:24:11,188
Speaker 2: Pretty scary through the game is getting easier for this

579
00:24:11,348 --> 00:24:12,388
Speaker 2: MVP Mansai.

580
00:24:13,028 --> 00:24:16,068
Speaker 3: As we all get older, what is something that is

581
00:24:16,108 --> 00:24:17,308
Speaker 3: getting easier for you?

582
00:24:17,148 --> 00:24:18,788
Speaker 8: You know, I love but our show Jamie, as we

583
00:24:18,828 --> 00:24:21,308
Speaker 8: can go football then transition to life like you just

584
00:24:21,388 --> 00:24:23,748
Speaker 8: keep hopping hopping that barrier, and so I'm going to

585
00:24:23,828 --> 00:24:26,548
Speaker 8: do that a little hot real quick. As I get older,

586
00:24:26,868 --> 00:24:30,108
Speaker 8: the thing that gets to do it's to say no.

587
00:24:30,548 --> 00:24:32,988
Speaker 9: Wow, I thought you were answer the question.

588
00:24:33,228 --> 00:24:35,548
Speaker 5: It's say no, Jamie. It's do you want to.

589
00:24:35,468 --> 00:24:37,628
Speaker 9: Go out to that? Good answer? Nah?

590
00:24:37,708 --> 00:24:38,348
Speaker 5: Do you want to go?

591
00:24:38,428 --> 00:24:38,668
Speaker 6: Click?

592
00:24:39,068 --> 00:24:39,988
Speaker 5: Nah? Do you want to eat this?

593
00:24:40,508 --> 00:24:40,668
Speaker 7: Nah?

594
00:24:40,748 --> 00:24:41,428
Speaker 5: Can you talk to me?

595
00:24:41,828 --> 00:24:41,868
Speaker 10: No?

596
00:24:42,148 --> 00:24:42,468
Speaker 5: Daddy?

597
00:24:42,468 --> 00:24:43,828
Speaker 2: Can I watch another movie?

598
00:24:44,788 --> 00:24:48,948
Speaker 5: May? Yes, if it's one of my two children.

599
00:24:49,308 --> 00:24:51,468
Speaker 9: There's a lot of times I do not say this word.

600
00:24:51,508 --> 00:24:54,348
Speaker 8: I'm trying as a father to create some structure with

601
00:24:54,388 --> 00:24:56,668
Speaker 8: my children, and so is my wife. She's a great

602
00:24:56,668 --> 00:24:59,508
Speaker 8: partner in this whole ordeal. And this this isn't said

603
00:24:59,508 --> 00:25:01,228
Speaker 8: to my three and two year old. I mean, you

604
00:25:01,228 --> 00:25:04,028
Speaker 8: see him, Jamie. I mean I'm sure that Brookie is

605
00:25:04,068 --> 00:25:06,148
Speaker 8: at home. You're like, can I go swimming and pool

606
00:25:06,148 --> 00:25:07,028
Speaker 8: back in the backyard?

607
00:25:07,028 --> 00:25:07,308
Speaker 6: Mama?

608
00:25:07,428 --> 00:25:08,988
Speaker 5: You're like, yeah, you can.

609
00:25:09,508 --> 00:25:12,028
Speaker 8: So as I get older, it gets a lot easier

610
00:25:12,028 --> 00:25:13,948
Speaker 8: for me to say no to a lot of different things.

611
00:25:13,948 --> 00:25:15,348
Speaker 5: So that's that's my one word.

612
00:25:15,468 --> 00:25:18,148
Speaker 2: What you got, Jason FANSI, that is awesome.

613
00:25:18,148 --> 00:25:20,828
Speaker 1: That is something that we get all better is saying

614
00:25:20,948 --> 00:25:23,068
Speaker 1: no and no listening to ourselves.

615
00:25:23,188 --> 00:25:26,948
Speaker 6: I've got red when I say reading.

616
00:25:27,588 --> 00:25:30,268
Speaker 1: You talk about Lamar Jackson the year he had last year,

617
00:25:30,308 --> 00:25:32,228
Speaker 1: his best year in the NFL so far.

618
00:25:32,308 --> 00:25:34,148
Speaker 6: He's clearly reading the.

619
00:25:34,148 --> 00:25:37,148
Speaker 1: Defensive backs, reading the safety what the defense is pre

620
00:25:37,268 --> 00:25:38,228
Speaker 1: snapped for us.

621
00:25:38,308 --> 00:25:40,388
Speaker 6: That could be reading people in body.

622
00:25:40,188 --> 00:25:44,548
Speaker 1: Language, whether it's fake love, think leadership, whether it's fake toughness.

623
00:25:44,668 --> 00:25:46,988
Speaker 1: As you get older, you start to sniff those things fast.

624
00:25:47,148 --> 00:25:49,308
Speaker 1: You get a job interview, you're leaving, you kind of

625
00:25:49,308 --> 00:25:51,188
Speaker 1: know whether you got the job, whether you're not going

626
00:25:51,228 --> 00:25:53,188
Speaker 1: to get it. Ain't gonna get that callback, right. So

627
00:25:53,348 --> 00:25:55,668
Speaker 1: as we get older, it gets easier to read people,

628
00:25:55,948 --> 00:25:58,348
Speaker 1: just as it's getting easier for Lamar Jackson to read

629
00:25:58,348 --> 00:25:59,028
Speaker 1: these defenses.

630
00:25:59,028 --> 00:26:01,068
Speaker 2: That's a good one I heard.

631
00:26:01,108 --> 00:26:03,348
Speaker 7: It's like the first week of we're kicking off, like

632
00:26:03,388 --> 00:26:05,188
Speaker 7: thirty three weeks where you're going to be here, so

633
00:26:05,228 --> 00:26:08,428
Speaker 7: someone said, though someone somewhere told me that, But ultimately

634
00:26:08,828 --> 00:26:11,388
Speaker 7: I think working on holidays we think about it.

635
00:26:11,468 --> 00:26:12,828
Speaker 9: Right, we just had the fourth of July. It's the

636

Speaker 9: So yeah, it's really kind of amazing.

642
00:26:26,308 --> 00:26:28,428
Speaker 7: But also it gets a lot easier as you get older,

643
00:26:28,468 --> 00:26:30,548
Speaker 7: you because then you know you can avoid doing some

644
00:26:30,628 --> 00:26:31,148
Speaker 7: of the other things.

645
00:26:31,188 --> 00:26:33,388

Speaker 2: Congratulations's coach.

693
00:28:30,628 --> 00:28:32,908
Speaker 3: It's never too early to start thinking about your fantasy

694
00:28:32,908 --> 00:28:35,508
Speaker 3: football draft. Cynthia is going to give us her top

695
00:28:35,548 --> 00:28:38,228
Speaker 3: ten fantasy running backs for the upcoming season.

696
00:28:38,508 --> 00:28:39,468
Speaker 2: I'm cheating the test.

697
00:28:39,508 --> 00:28:41,228
Speaker 3: I'm writing them all down and I'm gonna use them

698
00:28:41,228 --> 00:28:42,068
Speaker 3: on my draft hits.

699
00:28:42,108 --> 00:28:43,548
Speaker 2: Here we go GMFP and we come back.

700
00:28:54,468 --> 00:28:56,228
Speaker 5: Good morning football.

701
00:28:56,988 --> 00:28:59,308
Speaker 3: You should hear the voice in my head that talks

702
00:28:59,348 --> 00:29:01,228
Speaker 3: to me when I have to do a fantasy football draft.

703
00:29:01,268 --> 00:29:02,988
Speaker 2: It's like, come on, Jumie, get your up together.

704
00:29:03,068 --> 00:29:05,348
Speaker 3: This is a I freak out when I have to

705
00:29:05,428 --> 00:29:08,908
Speaker 3: draft fantasy football. So Cynday Freeland, you're here when you

706
00:29:08,948 --> 00:29:11,588
Speaker 3: do your draft, sheer panas you have my phone number,

707
00:29:11,708 --> 00:29:12,628
Speaker 3: I know like call me.

708
00:29:12,588 --> 00:29:13,988
Speaker 9: And I could be the voice in your head. We

709
00:29:14,028 --> 00:29:16,148
Speaker 9: do direct we do a mock.

710
00:29:16,228 --> 00:29:18,508
Speaker 3: Draft m A h on the show, and like you,

711
00:29:18,548 --> 00:29:20,148
Speaker 3: it's speed rounds. I don't have enough time. I will

712
00:29:20,148 --> 00:29:21,988
Speaker 3: actually have to have you on speakerphone. Frankly, it might

713
00:29:22,028 --> 00:29:24,068
Speaker 3: be a second. We're gonna do it in the perfect Okay, so,

714
00:29:24,108 --> 00:29:26,108
Speaker 3: but at least I will know who my top ten

715
00:29:26,188 --> 00:29:27,828
Speaker 3: running back should be and I will look back to

716
00:29:27,908 --> 00:29:28,828
Speaker 3: July seventh for this.

717
00:29:28,908 --> 00:29:30,228
Speaker 2: Cynthia Frielan take it away.

718
00:29:30,388 --> 00:29:32,308
Speaker 7: Okay, so we got to start with ten because we

719
00:29:32,348 --> 00:29:33,348
Speaker 7: can't do number one.

720
00:29:33,828 --> 00:29:34,548
Speaker 9: We have to do it so.

721
00:29:35,188 --> 00:29:38,628
Speaker 7: Interestingly enough, I don't usually love rookie running backs for fantasy.

722
00:29:39,948 --> 00:29:41,908
Speaker 7: I'm a little bit more down on it than other people.

723
00:29:41,948 --> 00:29:44,068
Speaker 9: It's always just a lot more risky. However, when you

724
00:29:44,068 --> 00:29:44,628
Speaker 9: are the Las.

725
00:29:44,548 --> 00:29:48,588
Speaker 7: Vegas Raiders and you have virtually no run game, and

726
00:29:48,628 --> 00:29:53,028
Speaker 7: then you bring in some of the minds that they did, Kelly, yeah, you're.

727
00:29:52,908 --> 00:29:53,988
Speaker 9: Going to run the football.

728
00:29:54,108 --> 00:29:57,068
Speaker 7: So Ashton gent D maybe he's even higher than ten.

729
00:29:57,148 --> 00:29:58,348
Speaker 9: But let's be conservative.

730
00:29:58,668 --> 00:30:01,548
Speaker 7: Let's give him like a moment to adapt to the

731
00:30:01,668 --> 00:30:02,468
Speaker 7: NFL game.

732
00:30:02,788 --> 00:30:04,028
Speaker 9: Okay, the Raiders are.

733
00:30:03,948 --> 00:30:06,228
Speaker 7: They have a schedule, it's not like they're in a

734
00:30:06,308 --> 00:30:09,108
Speaker 7: cake division. So I would say number ten is a

735
00:30:09,148 --> 00:30:12,068
Speaker 7: really great spot for him, especially as he enters the leak.

736
00:30:12,188 --> 00:30:13,108
Speaker 2: I like that one.

737
00:30:13,308 --> 00:30:14,068
Speaker 9: I like that one.

738
00:30:14,308 --> 00:30:16,868
Speaker 3: I recently convinced my nephew to become a Raiders fan

739
00:30:17,028 --> 00:30:18,028
Speaker 3: just because of Ashton Gen.

740
00:30:18,108 --> 00:30:19,628
Speaker 9: We love Ashton Gen, right, so I.

741
00:30:19,908 --> 00:30:20,468
Speaker 2: Actually like that.

742
00:30:20,508 --> 00:30:22,788
Speaker 3: You're bending your rules a little bit and your standards

743
00:30:22,828 --> 00:30:23,988
Speaker 3: to put them on your list a head.

744
00:30:24,028 --> 00:30:26,948
Speaker 5: But we also got Chip Kelly, but you got Pete Carroll.

745
00:30:27,428 --> 00:30:28,828
Speaker 5: You know what Pete Carroll likes to do. You don't

746
00:30:28,828 --> 00:30:30,828
Speaker 5: wants to run the football somewhere.

747
00:30:31,148 --> 00:30:34,948
Speaker 7: Yeah, they all had really good analytics people there too, just.

748
00:30:34,868 --> 00:30:35,988
Speaker 9: Saying Okay, I love it.

749
00:30:35,988 --> 00:30:40,228
Speaker 7: Now, contracts dispute be darned. Let's not worry about that ass.

750
00:30:40,268 --> 00:30:43,228
Speaker 7: Pretend everything's good. James Cook, is there day one ready

751
00:30:43,268 --> 00:30:45,628
Speaker 7: to go? I think this Bill's O line. I love

752
00:30:45,868 --> 00:30:47,468
Speaker 7: they line up the widest of.

753
00:30:47,388 --> 00:30:48,308
Speaker 9: Any O line.

754
00:30:48,388 --> 00:30:51,588
Speaker 7: It makes really creative options, in part because you always

755
00:30:51,588 --> 00:30:54,028
Speaker 7: have the threat of Josh Allen using his legs, so

756
00:30:54,308 --> 00:30:56,628
Speaker 7: that means he's really a good spot here James Cook,

757
00:30:56,708 --> 00:30:59,908
Speaker 7: especially catching footballs. They don't have the deepest wide receiver

758
00:30:59,948 --> 00:31:01,428
Speaker 7: core ever, so he's going to be used. I think

759
00:31:01,428 --> 00:31:03,828
Speaker 7: in the past catching game along with those tight ends.

760
00:31:04,748 --> 00:31:07,028
Speaker 5: Had a three headed monster over there in Buffalo Bills.

761
00:31:07,068 --> 00:31:08,348
Speaker 8: As far as the running back, So how do you

762
00:31:08,388 --> 00:31:10,548
Speaker 8: see that playing out with James Cook?

763
00:31:10,708 --> 00:31:12,988
Speaker 7: I think it's more who's the red zone threat, because

764
00:31:12,988 --> 00:31:14,708
Speaker 7: that's how you get the most points in fantasy. It's

765
00:31:14,708 --> 00:31:17,268
Speaker 7: really about this is a function of like the fantasy game,

766
00:31:17,308 --> 00:31:19,708
Speaker 7: having who gets into the end zone most often?

767
00:31:19,948 --> 00:31:21,188
Speaker 9: James Cook upside there.

768
00:31:21,188 --> 00:31:23,628
Speaker 7: Also, if you're playing PPR, which you should be, every

769
00:31:23,628 --> 00:31:25,948
Speaker 7: time he catches the ball, that is one full point,

770
00:31:25,988 --> 00:31:27,268
Speaker 7: which is worth ten yards of.

771
00:31:27,188 --> 00:31:30,988
Speaker 3: Front the punch it inability, that should be a sat okay.

772
00:31:31,068 --> 00:31:34,148
Speaker 7: So this one's interesting to me. My model kind of

773
00:31:34,188 --> 00:31:36,188
Speaker 7: surprised me on this one. I'm looking at to von

774
00:31:36,268 --> 00:31:39,348
Speaker 7: A Chan here. I think it's number eight. That's a

775
00:31:39,388 --> 00:31:41,508
Speaker 7: really you don't want to tell anyone, is.

776
00:31:41,428 --> 00:31:42,228
Speaker 9: It, Hilary one?

777
00:31:42,308 --> 00:31:44,708
Speaker 7: Oh, she's right, I just want a secret here. But

778
00:31:45,268 --> 00:31:47,428
Speaker 7: I get a little leery with your O line changes

779
00:31:47,468 --> 00:31:49,868
Speaker 7: when you're missing like a left fackle that's a very

780
00:31:49,868 --> 00:31:52,348
Speaker 7: good one, and you change things. But you also have

781
00:31:52,388 --> 00:31:52,868
Speaker 7: a guy.

782
00:31:52,708 --> 00:31:54,588
Speaker 9: That's a Shanahan Tree guy. You know they're going to

783
00:31:54,668 --> 00:31:55,588
Speaker 9: run the football there.

784
00:31:55,788 --> 00:31:59,068
Speaker 7: You know, Mike mcdee has all these tricks in his head.

785
00:31:59,388 --> 00:32:01,908
Speaker 7: I just need him to be permanently on. I need

786
00:32:01,948 --> 00:32:03,588
Speaker 7: Tom to do permanently mic up the coach so that

787
00:32:03,628 --> 00:32:07,108
Speaker 7: you can hear how he's coaching. Devon A chances number

788
00:32:07,108 --> 00:32:07,828
Speaker 7: eight running back.

789
00:32:08,108 --> 00:32:11,148
Speaker 3: Speed, speed works, speed works in this Miami offense.

790
00:32:11,188 --> 00:32:12,068
Speaker 2: I mean it doesn't matter.

791
00:32:12,108 --> 00:32:13,908
Speaker 3: Maybe if it trails off at the end of the season,

792
00:32:13,908 --> 00:32:15,508
Speaker 3: but like if he puts up numbers, then Devon a

793
00:32:15,588 --> 00:32:16,188
Speaker 3: Chan's your guy.

794
00:32:16,828 --> 00:32:17,068
Speaker 4: This one.

795
00:32:17,068 --> 00:32:18,468
Speaker 7: People are gonna get mad at me because they're going

796
00:32:18,508 --> 00:32:20,828
Speaker 7: to say he's too low. But I'm looking in Indianapolis

797
00:32:20,868 --> 00:32:23,988
Speaker 7: and I'm saying that Jonathan Taylor, he's going to be seven,

798
00:32:24,268 --> 00:32:27,788
Speaker 7: so don't overdraft him. Some people have him like one, two, three.

799
00:32:28,268 --> 00:32:30,748
Speaker 7: I'm not up there on him. Why I think this

800
00:32:30,908 --> 00:32:35,348
Speaker 7: quarterback situation is not as clear as it may seem.

801
00:32:35,388 --> 00:32:37,028
Speaker 7: I think that if you look at their social media,

802
00:32:37,028 --> 00:32:39,748
Speaker 7: they basically do fifty percent one quarterback, fifty percent the other.

803
00:32:40,028 --> 00:32:43,628
Speaker 7: That means some uncertainty for JT. Why because one quarterback

804
00:32:43,708 --> 00:32:45,508
Speaker 7: uses his legs a lot more often than the other one.

805
00:32:45,588 --> 00:32:47,428
Speaker 9: So it really is going to depend on.

806
00:32:47,588 --> 00:32:50,508
Speaker 7: Who their quarterback is, which means there is risk in Jonathan.

807
00:32:50,588 --> 00:32:51,788
Speaker 5: There is a wrinkle to that, Soythia.

808
00:32:51,828 --> 00:32:54,508
Speaker 8: But because when there is a question mark at the

809
00:32:54,588 --> 00:32:57,468
Speaker 8: quarterback position, sometimes the coach just says hand them all off.

810
00:32:57,628 --> 00:33:00,708
Speaker 3: But too much reliability might mean that he gets like

811
00:33:00,788 --> 00:33:02,228
Speaker 3: he exhausts himself, just.

812
00:33:02,228 --> 00:33:02,948
Speaker 5: Gets a risk.

813
00:33:03,028 --> 00:33:05,668
Speaker 3: Man, did you just hit us with this statistical analysis

814
00:33:05,708 --> 00:33:09,108
Speaker 3: of the social media posts of the quarterbacks.

815
00:33:08,508 --> 00:33:10,988
Speaker 9: And we have to go on here.

816
00:33:11,468 --> 00:33:14,388
Speaker 7: If they're posting we're going to talk about both quarterbacks,

817
00:33:14,748 --> 00:33:16,748
Speaker 7: That to me leads me to believe that they're not

818
00:33:16,868 --> 00:33:17,588
Speaker 7: sold on one.

819
00:33:17,788 --> 00:33:20,948
Speaker 3: I've totally just bought whatever you put out there, Glad.

820
00:33:22,908 --> 00:33:24,388
Speaker 9: Number six, Derrick Henry.

821
00:33:24,508 --> 00:33:27,108
Speaker 7: I think this guy, you could make the cases more

822
00:33:27,148 --> 00:33:29,988
Speaker 7: reliable than mostly. You could put him up even higher. However,

823
00:33:30,268 --> 00:33:33,188
Speaker 7: I'm just looking at pure output. To me, I'm looking

824
00:33:33,268 --> 00:33:34,868
Speaker 7: at you know, look, we know he's gonna get in

825
00:33:34,908 --> 00:33:36,188
Speaker 7: the en zone. We know he's going to get yack.

826
00:33:36,228 --> 00:33:39,988
Speaker 7: We love yack football, man. Ty, here's the secret for

827
00:33:40,068 --> 00:33:42,388
Speaker 7: your team next year. Yes, like the running backs who

828
00:33:42,428 --> 00:33:44,708
Speaker 7: have the most yak are the most reliable ones. Obviously

829
00:33:44,708 --> 00:33:47,628
Speaker 7: everyone could get hurt, but in general, and Derrick Henry

830
00:33:47,708 --> 00:33:50,028
Speaker 7: has he's just nothing but yack like his whole life,

831
00:33:50,148 --> 00:33:50,908
Speaker 7: Like that's all he is.

832
00:33:50,988 --> 00:33:51,988
Speaker 9: So it's incredible.

833
00:33:52,188 --> 00:33:54,708
Speaker 3: He posted a video recently, or somebody did, of Derrick

834
00:33:54,748 --> 00:33:57,148
Speaker 3: Henry working out, or he was running up a grass

835
00:33:57,268 --> 00:34:00,588
Speaker 3: hill that I swear was at a forty five degree incline.

836
00:34:00,708 --> 00:34:03,948
Speaker 3: He did three full jumps on one leg up the

837
00:34:04,028 --> 00:34:06,708
Speaker 3: hill and then sprinted up it. I was like, first

838
00:34:06,708 --> 00:34:09,108
Speaker 3: of all, how and then actually my gut when I

839
00:34:09,148 --> 00:34:11,588
Speaker 3: saw his name to me and I'm like a total

840
00:34:11,628 --> 00:34:14,188
Speaker 3: novice when it comes to fantasy, Like that feels low

841
00:34:14,268 --> 00:34:17,028
Speaker 3: to me. But I will accept him at six because

842
00:34:17,028 --> 00:34:17,628
Speaker 3: you're telling me to.

843
00:34:17,788 --> 00:34:18,948
Speaker 9: But here's here's a problem.

844
00:34:19,028 --> 00:34:22,068
Speaker 7: Okay, the problem for fantasy, not a problem for real life.

845
00:34:22,228 --> 00:34:22,908
Speaker 9: Real life.

846
00:34:23,068 --> 00:34:25,628
Speaker 7: The value could be like if you were doing like war,

847
00:34:25,748 --> 00:34:27,988
Speaker 7: like if it were baseball, maybe you could go higher. However,

848
00:34:28,348 --> 00:34:31,468
Speaker 7: for fantasy, I got Lamar Jackson there too, so he

849
00:34:31,668 --> 00:34:34,188
Speaker 7: steals some of those rushing totally. It's not a this

850
00:34:34,268 --> 00:34:36,548
Speaker 7: isn't we love Derrick Henry, but and I don't know

851
00:34:36,548 --> 00:34:38,188
Speaker 7: about that workout because like, what does that do?

852
00:34:38,308 --> 00:34:40,188
Speaker 3: I know you do that right well if he's like

853
00:34:41,108 --> 00:34:44,868
Speaker 3: taking it, shaking it about it, but.

854
00:34:44,628 --> 00:34:46,748
Speaker 7: But ultimately it's he does get some of those like

855
00:34:46,828 --> 00:34:48,508
Speaker 7: fantasy opportunities vultured.

856
00:34:48,628 --> 00:34:50,828
Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, if you had them both Lamar and Derek

857
00:34:50,868 --> 00:34:53,028
Speaker 3: the it be kind of sweet. Jason Benda, you have

858
00:34:53,068 --> 00:34:54,788
Speaker 3: been waiting in the wings ever so sweetly.

859
00:34:54,828 --> 00:34:56,068
Speaker 2: What do you think about ten through six?

860
00:34:56,148 --> 00:34:56,468
Speaker 4: Right now?

861
00:34:57,388 --> 00:34:58,028
Speaker 5: I'll tell you what.

862
00:34:58,228 --> 00:35:02,428
Speaker 1: This list absolutely screams ball knowledge in the I mean,

863
00:35:02,548 --> 00:35:04,788
Speaker 1: you got.

864
00:35:04,468 --> 00:35:06,548
Speaker 6: Fantastic last year. I want to highlight two guys.

865
00:35:06,948 --> 00:35:09,708
Speaker 1: Ashton Gent he might be a guy I'm most excited about.

866
00:35:09,748 --> 00:35:10,828
Speaker 6: In terms of rookies.

867
00:35:11,028 --> 00:35:12,948
Speaker 1: We know the Raiders are not afraid to throw their

868
00:35:12,988 --> 00:35:14,948
Speaker 1: rookie straight into the fire. We saw the way brock

869
00:35:15,028 --> 00:35:18,908
Speaker 1: Bowers absolutely just came onto the scene on fire.

870
00:35:18,948 --> 00:35:20,508
Speaker 6: I think Ashle's got that same ability.

871
00:35:20,548 --> 00:35:22,708
Speaker 1: I mean, some of those runs he had of college,

872
00:35:23,028 --> 00:35:25,828
Speaker 1: this dude made guys look like straight up child's play,

873
00:35:26,028 --> 00:35:28,868
Speaker 1: like child's play. This guy's ready for the league. I'm

874
00:35:28,908 --> 00:35:31,548
Speaker 1: excited to see him play. And then number two, Devon

875
00:35:31,628 --> 00:35:34,588
Speaker 1: a Han. I mean, you look at him and Mike McDaniels.

876
00:35:34,628 --> 00:35:35,868
Speaker 6: You see some of the things he does.

877
00:35:35,988 --> 00:35:38,908
Speaker 1: Yes, there's a run game, there's some super speed, he can.

878
00:35:38,788 --> 00:35:42,228
Speaker 6: Attack downhill, all that. But this guy in the receiving game,

879
00:35:42,468 --> 00:35:43,148
Speaker 6: the stuff.

880
00:35:42,868 --> 00:35:45,268
Speaker 1: That Mike McDaniel's, the positions he put him in. I mean,

881
00:35:45,308 --> 00:35:48,148
Speaker 1: I've seen this guy catch twelve yard digs. MENSI what

882
00:35:48,228 --> 00:35:50,108
Speaker 1: running backs do you know? Go up there and run

883
00:35:50,148 --> 00:35:53,908
Speaker 1: twelve yard digs, catch balls up the middle, contested catches.

884
00:35:54,148 --> 00:35:57,988
Speaker 6: This guy's receiving threat. So I'm excited about those two guys.

885
00:35:58,388 --> 00:35:59,948
Speaker 9: All right, do you guys want to do five through one?

886
00:36:00,028 --> 00:36:00,908
Speaker 2: Yes, we absolutely do.

887
00:36:01,268 --> 00:36:04,788
Speaker 7: Okay, so I'm looking at number five here, and Josh

888
00:36:04,908 --> 00:36:07,468
Speaker 7: Jacobs an interesting and interesting note here.

889
00:36:07,588 --> 00:36:09,748
Speaker 9: Okay, I have a lot of question. The Green Bay

890
00:36:09,788 --> 00:36:11,428
Speaker 9: Packers are kind of an enigmas to me.

891
00:36:11,668 --> 00:36:14,948
Speaker 7: They added to their wide receiving cor obviously drafting blah blah,

892
00:36:14,988 --> 00:36:16,828
Speaker 7: but they still have to run the football. They are

893
00:36:16,948 --> 00:36:20,028
Speaker 7: still a guy a team where their coach is a

894
00:36:20,028 --> 00:36:21,228
Speaker 7: guy who likes to run the football.

895
00:36:21,268 --> 00:36:23,628
Speaker 9: So I still think Josh Jacobs. By the way, Josh

896
00:36:23,708 --> 00:36:25,628
Speaker 9: Jacobs low key exceptionally.

897
00:36:25,068 --> 00:36:27,668
Speaker 7: Good at trivia just so you know, nothing to do

898
00:36:27,748 --> 00:36:30,188
Speaker 7: with fantasy football, but really, interesting for you know, regular

899
00:36:30,508 --> 00:36:30,988
Speaker 7: well when.

900
00:36:30,828 --> 00:36:34,588
Speaker 3: He's asked in the next off season after he retains

901
00:36:34,668 --> 00:36:37,508
Speaker 3: the running back most yardage for the year and be like,

902
00:36:37,588 --> 00:36:39,948
Speaker 3: where did Sinti Freeland have you ranked in her preseason

903
00:36:40,508 --> 00:36:41,948
Speaker 3: running back top ten and be a number five?

904
00:36:42,068 --> 00:36:44,908
Speaker 7: Hell no, Yeah, this is the one where the our

905
00:36:44,908 --> 00:36:46,748
Speaker 7: Twitter friends are going to have some issues here because

906
00:36:46,748 --> 00:36:52,588
Speaker 7: at number four, I have take one Barkley. Why oh no,

907
00:36:53,308 --> 00:36:54,908
Speaker 7: I'm not saying the Eagles aren't going to be good.

908
00:36:54,948 --> 00:36:57,308
Speaker 7: I'm not saying Saquon isn't awesome. I'm not saying Penn

909
00:36:57,388 --> 00:36:58,588
Speaker 7: State is not great.

910
00:36:58,348 --> 00:37:00,548
Speaker 2: Because we love But she's just saying there's three more

911
00:37:00,628 --> 00:37:01,148
Speaker 2: that are better.

912
00:37:01,188 --> 00:37:04,748
Speaker 7: I'm just saying that fantasy points. This is why point

913
00:37:04,868 --> 00:37:08,148
Speaker 7: and fantasy added to what's going on there. And I

914
00:37:08,148 --> 00:37:10,348
Speaker 7: think the Eagles will be very good again this season.

915
00:37:10,588 --> 00:37:13,668
Speaker 7: Do you really want Saquon Berkley? It's the fourth quarter,

916
00:37:13,748 --> 00:37:16,108
Speaker 7: you're winning by a lot garbage touchdowns. Are you going

917
00:37:16,188 --> 00:37:17,908
Speaker 7: to give them Sakwad Barkley? Are you going to save

918
00:37:17,948 --> 00:37:20,508
Speaker 7: those squads for another game where maybe in the playoffs

919
00:37:20,548 --> 00:37:22,428
Speaker 7: you're gonna want to have him? Oh you know, come

920
00:37:22,708 --> 00:37:25,668
Speaker 7: January February time. So guys, I'm not saying anything about

921
00:37:25,668 --> 00:37:26,108
Speaker 7: the Eagles.

922
00:37:26,148 --> 00:37:29,308
Speaker 9: Relax. Eagles fans are very loud and fun, but no,

923
00:37:29,468 --> 00:37:30,868
Speaker 9: I'm just saying for fantasy b blubber.

924
00:37:30,988 --> 00:37:34,028
Speaker 3: I'm into your reasoning, Cynthia, because we saw him do

925
00:37:34,068 --> 00:37:34,628
Speaker 3: this last year.

926
00:37:34,668 --> 00:37:37,548
Speaker 2: He's like, no, let the young guys eat, so he is.

927
00:37:37,788 --> 00:37:38,548
Speaker 5: Uh he did.

928
00:37:38,588 --> 00:37:39,708
Speaker 2: Eat, though he did.

929
00:37:39,748 --> 00:37:40,508
Speaker 5: He was number one.

930
00:37:41,748 --> 00:37:43,268
Speaker 2: You're his quarterback.

931
00:37:43,628 --> 00:37:46,028
Speaker 9: Sneaks in a lot are going anywhere?

932
00:37:47,828 --> 00:37:48,628
Speaker 2: Det different?

933
00:37:48,708 --> 00:37:52,068
Speaker 6: Yes, Cynthia, You've got it. You've got a great point.

934
00:37:52,148 --> 00:37:53,188
Speaker 6: I do believe say.

935
00:37:53,068 --> 00:37:55,188
Speaker 1: Had I think he told us he had eleven runs

936
00:37:55,228 --> 00:37:57,268
Speaker 1: where he was tackling on the one yard line, So

937
00:37:57,468 --> 00:37:59,588
Speaker 1: I get it. And the touch Pusch is obviously still

938
00:37:59,628 --> 00:38:02,588
Speaker 1: in play, didn't get banned in this off season. That

939
00:38:02,588 --> 00:38:05,268
Speaker 1: that number could have easily been from the a twenty

940
00:38:05,268 --> 00:38:07,948
Speaker 1: four touchdowns had they gotten one yard run out of

941
00:38:07,948 --> 00:38:11,308
Speaker 1: say Quauk Barkley. But let's let's also this, He's two

942
00:38:11,428 --> 00:38:17,428
Speaker 1: ksa two thousand yards Madden cover Hey defeat and go

943
00:38:17,468 --> 00:38:20,068
Speaker 1: even crazier this year. I heard it straight from his mouth.

944
00:38:20,388 --> 00:38:23,468
Speaker 1: He's gonna do it this year. So four still still

945
00:38:23,548 --> 00:38:24,708
Speaker 1: might be a little bit too low.

946
00:38:25,068 --> 00:38:25,988
Speaker 8: Okay, all right, I.

947
00:38:25,988 --> 00:38:28,388
Speaker 9: Mean I listen. I like it, but I don't know.

948
00:38:28,548 --> 00:38:29,948
Speaker 9: Got to go with the math. Gotta go with the math.

949
00:38:30,068 --> 00:38:33,228
Speaker 7: Right number three, Tamir Gibbs, this is another one where

950
00:38:33,428 --> 00:38:36,148
Speaker 7: I understand, like the new coordinator situation.

951
00:38:36,708 --> 00:38:38,068
Speaker 2: This is an interesting.

952
00:38:38,188 --> 00:38:39,348
Speaker 9: Note about the Lions.

953
00:38:39,388 --> 00:38:42,548
Speaker 7: However, you got both of these guys who are incredible.

954
00:38:42,548 --> 00:38:44,828
Speaker 9: You have this O line. No, Frank Ragnow is not there,

955
00:38:44,868 --> 00:38:45,428
Speaker 9: but they're in a.

956
00:38:45,348 --> 00:38:47,988
Speaker 7: Good position to be able to sustain that loss, even

957
00:38:48,028 --> 00:38:50,348
Speaker 7: though it's a huge loss. I think, Tamir Gibbs, it's

958
00:38:50,348 --> 00:38:52,468
Speaker 7: the past catching upside guys. Yet, that is how you

959
00:38:52,468 --> 00:38:54,988
Speaker 7: score points in fantasy, that when you catch the ball

960
00:38:55,068 --> 00:38:56,988
Speaker 7: that is equivalent to ten yards.

961
00:38:57,188 --> 00:38:59,268
Speaker 9: Do it again, catch the ball ten yards.

962
00:38:59,348 --> 00:39:00,148
Speaker 5: David Montgomery.

963
00:39:00,228 --> 00:39:03,028
Speaker 8: I like David Montgomery, though he always kind of like

964
00:39:03,028 --> 00:39:05,788
Speaker 8: how you're talking about Saquon Barklaye Jalen Hurts. David Montgomery

965
00:39:05,788 --> 00:39:09,388
Speaker 8: always fills some points from Jackaric Gibbs.

966
00:39:09,428 --> 00:39:10,428
Speaker 5: How do you see that, Cynthia.

967
00:39:10,468 --> 00:39:12,828
Speaker 7: I just think that the volume of running that's going

968
00:39:12,868 --> 00:39:15,628
Speaker 7: to still happen on this Lions team is going nowhere,

969
00:39:15,668 --> 00:39:17,628
Speaker 7: and last year you saw the results. I think it

970
00:39:17,668 --> 00:39:19,708
Speaker 7: will look very similar to this past year. I like

971
00:39:19,868 --> 00:39:23,908
Speaker 7: all right, Okay, So at number two, John time people, Yeah,

972
00:39:25,108 --> 00:39:27,788
Speaker 7: that's good. I mean, listen, I think this is the

973
00:39:27,828 --> 00:39:29,788
Speaker 7: opportunity for this Falcons team to.

974
00:39:30,108 --> 00:39:32,668
Speaker 9: The NFC South got some question marks.

975
00:39:32,708 --> 00:39:34,908
Speaker 7: Seems like it's pretty wide open when you have the

976
00:39:34,908 --> 00:39:39,148
Speaker 7: opportunities that this Falcons team will have. But Jehan Robinson specifically,

977
00:39:39,188 --> 00:39:40,828
Speaker 7: this is to me when he breaks out. That's why

978
00:39:40,828 --> 00:39:43,508
Speaker 7: he's number two. Some people haven't met number one. I

979
00:39:43,588 --> 00:39:44,428
Speaker 7: say number two.

980
00:39:44,588 --> 00:39:48,228
Speaker 3: Okay, how that was a rise that was surprising.

981
00:39:48,348 --> 00:39:51,028
Speaker 9: So who are we missing? We're missing Chritian McAffrey.

982
00:39:51,068 --> 00:39:53,148
Speaker 7: Okay, and look, there's always risk you're coming back from

983
00:39:53,148 --> 00:39:56,228
Speaker 7: an indural Christian mccaf but but look at what happened.

984
00:39:56,268 --> 00:39:59,348
Speaker 7: They're missing Debo. Where does that go between him and

985
00:39:59,388 --> 00:40:03,468
Speaker 7: his tight end? You they divvy up those targets. Please,

986
00:40:03,508 --> 00:40:05,428
Speaker 7: there you go. You need to run, you need to

987
00:40:05,428 --> 00:40:07,108
Speaker 7: figure it out. And this is where.

988
00:40:06,948 --> 00:40:08,108
Speaker 9: Christian McCaffrey shines.

989
00:40:08,508 --> 00:40:11,148
Speaker 7: Obviously, there's always an asterisk when someone's not healthier, when

990
00:40:11,228 --> 00:40:13,468
Speaker 7: when someone's not healthy the year prior. But I think

991
00:40:13,508 --> 00:40:14,868
Speaker 7: he's okay, I'm gonna believe him.

992
00:40:14,868 --> 00:40:16,788
Speaker 9: He says he's ready to go. That's all we can

993
00:40:16,828 --> 00:40:18,308
Speaker 9: go on and that's why he's number one.

994
00:40:19,028 --> 00:40:21,908
Speaker 3: Now all you alone, follow you alone, your thoughts on

995
00:40:21,948 --> 00:40:22,828
Speaker 3: Christian McCaffrey at.

996
00:40:22,788 --> 00:40:24,108
Speaker 5: One, What Christan McCaffrey.

997
00:40:24,108 --> 00:40:26,908
Speaker 8: Where is he slated in the draft?

998
00:40:27,868 --> 00:40:29,988
Speaker 7: You should probably take your running back first, like it right,

999
00:40:30,308 --> 00:40:32,348
Speaker 7: Like you're one dot oh one. Now you could either

1000
00:40:32,388 --> 00:40:34,548
Speaker 7: say I don't want him or I want him.

1001
00:40:34,588 --> 00:40:35,908
Speaker 9: That's a personal preference.

1002
00:40:35,908 --> 00:40:38,908
Speaker 7: But if you're looking at straight return on investment, that's

1003
00:40:38,908 --> 00:40:39,508
Speaker 7: one dot o one.

1004
00:40:39,548 --> 00:40:41,708
Speaker 8: I think he's like twenty, probably in the twenties because

1005
00:40:41,788 --> 00:40:45,468
Speaker 8: he was hurt all last year. Maybe give me give

1006
00:40:45,548 --> 00:40:47,708
Speaker 8: me job position twelve on a twelve team.

1007
00:40:47,708 --> 00:40:48,828
Speaker 5: I'm gonna go twelve thirteen.

1008
00:40:48,908 --> 00:40:51,868
Speaker 8: Pick thirteen is going to Christian McCaffrey because a sin Field,

1009
00:40:53,788 --> 00:40:54,828
Speaker 8: I'm gonna I'm.

1010
00:40:54,668 --> 00:40:59,148
Speaker 1: Gonna take Sonic the Hedgehog. Jamir Gibbs. I think he's

1011
00:40:59,188 --> 00:41:01,108
Speaker 1: the number one guy. I think we've seen him in

1012
00:41:01,148 --> 00:41:04,188
Speaker 1: more of a one A one B type of offense.

1013
00:41:04,388 --> 00:41:06,148
Speaker 6: Think this is the first time we see.

1014
00:41:06,028 --> 00:41:10,388
Speaker 1: Jamir as the true number one, the true workhouse work force.

1015
00:41:10,748 --> 00:41:12,628
Speaker 1: It's the point of time when Alliance say we're going

1016
00:41:12,708 --> 00:41:15,068
Speaker 1: to see what this kit is truly made out of

1017
00:41:15,108 --> 00:41:17,428
Speaker 1: it, and if he can truly carry us.

1018
00:41:17,468 --> 00:41:18,948
Speaker 6: I think he's going to have that role this year.

1019
00:41:19,028 --> 00:41:21,748
Speaker 3: All right there, it is Cynthia's top ten fantasy running

1020
00:41:21,748 --> 00:41:23,828
Speaker 3: backs as we stand on July to have a pre

1021
00:41:23,988 --> 00:41:26,708
Speaker 3: training camp. We haven't seen how these regarda now, I

1022
00:41:26,828 --> 00:41:29,748
Speaker 3: love the compliment, the ultimate compliment for the rookie at

1023
00:41:29,828 --> 00:41:32,308
Speaker 3: number ten, Ashton Gent and then you're going to run

1024
00:41:32,388 --> 00:41:33,068
Speaker 3: all the way through.

1025
00:41:33,228 --> 00:41:34,868
Speaker 2: Those are some names right there.

1026
00:41:34,708 --> 00:41:36,988
Speaker 3: But some of these teams have made changes. But you

1027
00:41:37,108 --> 00:41:39,908
Speaker 3: know offensively if they're on this list for Cynthia, that

1028
00:41:40,028 --> 00:41:41,868
Speaker 3: they need to be on your list and preparing for

1029
00:41:41,908 --> 00:41:45,388
Speaker 3: your fantasy football draft. And Christian McCaffrey holding the number

1030
00:41:45,388 --> 00:41:48,748
Speaker 3: one overall spot yet again, but expecting something special from

1031
00:41:48,948 --> 00:41:51,148
Speaker 3: John Robinson as you should for the rest of GMFB.

1032
00:41:51,268 --> 00:41:54,348
Speaker 2: We'll be right back. Irons in the fire. That's what

1033
00:41:54,388 --> 00:41:55,428
Speaker 2: we call Jason Covinda.

1034
00:41:55,588 --> 00:41:58,228
Speaker 3: When he is not stopping by GMFB, he's working on

1035
00:41:58,268 --> 00:42:00,348
Speaker 3: a ton of different projects, and Covinda, you're going to

1036
00:42:00,388 --> 00:42:03,228
Speaker 3: share with us what you have been keeping busy with recently.

1037
00:42:03,268 --> 00:42:05,188
Speaker 3: It's a project near and da to your heart.

1038
00:42:05,268 --> 00:42:05,828
Speaker 2: What's going on?

1039
00:42:06,228 --> 00:42:09,588
Speaker 1: Yes, the project I'm working on currently is a documentary

1040
00:42:09,628 --> 00:42:12,908
Speaker 1: called The Turnaround and it's on our twenty sixteen Big

1041
00:42:12,948 --> 00:42:17,308
Speaker 1: Penn Championship team over at Penn State University. As you

1042
00:42:17,348 --> 00:42:19,468
Speaker 1: all know, there were sanctions that happened at Penn State

1043
00:42:19,668 --> 00:42:21,908
Speaker 1: that were handed down back in twenty twelve that were

1044
00:42:21,908 --> 00:42:25,268
Speaker 1: called the death penalty. That state was never supposed to recover,

1045
00:42:25,428 --> 00:42:27,588
Speaker 1: was never supposed to be a good team. Again, you

1046
00:42:27,588 --> 00:42:30,828
Speaker 1: could reference SMU in the eighties who also received.

1047
00:42:30,548 --> 00:42:31,388
Speaker 6: The death penalty.

1048
00:42:31,388 --> 00:42:34,428
Speaker 1: That really didn't become relevant until forty years later, really

1049
00:42:34,508 --> 00:42:36,668
Speaker 1: last year. So you know, we were able to win

1050
00:42:36,668 --> 00:42:38,708
Speaker 1: the Big Ten Championship just four years later, and we

1051
00:42:38,748 --> 00:42:41,628
Speaker 1: have some great characters that came in were able to

1052
00:42:41,708 --> 00:42:44,428
Speaker 1: uplift this program, bring it back and keep it afloat

1053
00:42:44,508 --> 00:42:48,188
Speaker 1: and keep it a top ten perennial team like Sakon Barkley, myself,

1054
00:42:48,268 --> 00:42:51,028
Speaker 1: Marcus Allen, Chris Godwin and so on and so forth.

1055
00:42:51,108 --> 00:42:52,668
Speaker 6: So these guys are all going to be a part of,

1056
00:42:53,268 --> 00:42:53,548
Speaker 6: you know.

1057
00:42:53,548 --> 00:42:56,348
Speaker 1: This film and kind of really talk about the player

1058
00:42:56,428 --> 00:42:58,668
Speaker 1: narrative because everybody knows what the media thought with the

1059
00:42:58,748 --> 00:43:01,388
Speaker 1: Dopau lovers thought this, that and the third, but the

1060
00:43:01,428 --> 00:43:03,908
Speaker 1: player narrative really got lost. What we had to overcome

1061
00:43:03,948 --> 00:43:06,428
Speaker 1: the adverse cities we had overcome in order to bring

1062
00:43:06,468 --> 00:43:09,028
Speaker 1: this program back. So super excited.

1063
00:43:08,588 --> 00:43:10,788
Speaker 3: For this doc as you should be, just committed to

1064
00:43:10,788 --> 00:43:12,828
Speaker 3: have executive producer on something, so I'm going to be

1065
00:43:12,868 --> 00:43:13,308
Speaker 3: proud of you.

1066
00:43:13,348 --> 00:43:14,708
Speaker 2: Executive produced the Turnaround.

1067
00:43:14,748 --> 00:43:17,868
Speaker 3: Apparently physically all those Penn State rosters commit to everybody.

1068
00:43:17,868 --> 00:43:22,068
Speaker 3: We'll keep an eye out for a GMFB on Monday
