I go with Rogers too. 68 00:02:43,268 --> 00:02:44,548 Speaker 2: The cop thing is amazing. 69 00:02:45,028 --> 00:02:48,468 Speaker 1: So he made the Packers take him back like he's like, no, 70 00:02:48,868 --> 00:02:49,828 Speaker 1: you are signing cop. 71 00:02:49,868 --> 00:02:50,628 Speaker 2: They didn't want him. 72 00:02:50,668 --> 00:02:53,788 Speaker 1: Then Cobb goes in and shows up and stays in Rogers' house. 73 00:02:53,988 --> 00:02:55,428 Speaker 1: He came on the show and told us about that 74 00:02:55,548 --> 00:02:56,908 Speaker 1: Rogers has amazing bidets. 75 00:02:56,988 --> 00:02:57,748 Speaker 2: He gives that kind of. 76 00:02:57,788 --> 00:03:02,308 Speaker 1: Information and now he's making the Jets take cop. Doesn't 77 00:03:02,348 --> 00:03:05,108 Speaker 1: this sort of feel like like Turtle from Our Like 78 00:03:05,188 --> 00:03:06,868 Speaker 1: he's Vinnie Chase and he's you know who? 79 00:03:06,908 --> 00:03:08,628 Speaker 2: Rogers sat next two courts side last night. 80 00:03:08,708 --> 00:03:12,228 Speaker 1: Jerry Ferrara, the guy who plays Turt on Three's absolutely perfect. 81 00:03:12,308 --> 00:03:14,148 Speaker 1: So I think he's like, I got my new city. 82 00:03:14,188 --> 00:03:16,908 Speaker 1: Everyone's nice. I got my friends, I got my other friends. 83 00:03:17,068 --> 00:03:19,588 Speaker 1: I like the coach, I got Hackett, I got all 84 00:03:19,668 --> 00:03:20,508 Speaker 1: these things that I like. 85 00:03:20,588 --> 00:03:22,348 Speaker 2: I think he's super happy. I think it's Rogers. What 86 00:03:22,388 --> 00:03:22,628 Speaker 2: do you think? 87 00:03:22,708 --> 00:03:25,028 Speaker 8: J Yes, see, I look at him as Joe Procter 88 00:03:25,148 --> 00:03:28,588 Speaker 8: from the show Power as he's sitting next to him 89 00:03:27,268 --> 00:03:30,468 Speaker 8: court know the show Power. 90 00:03:30,508 --> 00:03:31,628 Speaker 2: I know it, but I don't watch it. 91 00:03:31,868 --> 00:03:35,188 Speaker 8: He's Ghost's lawyer in that his name is Procter. Yeah, 92 00:03:35,228 --> 00:03:38,628 Speaker 8: So as I'm watching that, I am going with Lamar 93 00:03:38,788 --> 00:03:41,428 Speaker 8: Jackson on this. The end of his saga ended in 94 00:03:41,548 --> 00:03:44,868 Speaker 8: a very lucrative contract. Not only did he get the money, 95 00:03:44,868 --> 00:03:47,548 Speaker 8: but he also got Odell Beckham Junior. He got them 96 00:03:47,548 --> 00:03:49,788 Speaker 8: to draft the receiver in the first round. So when 97 00:03:49,828 --> 00:03:52,908 Speaker 8: you talk about a big smile this offseason, I think 98 00:03:52,948 --> 00:03:55,588 Speaker 8: it's Lamar Jackson. Not only did he get weapons around 99 00:03:55,628 --> 00:03:57,988 Speaker 8: them and money, he also came out with his invention 100 00:03:58,348 --> 00:04:02,348 Speaker 8: the entire gym with Kyle Brant absolutely loves. So not 101 00:04:02,388 --> 00:04:04,668 Speaker 8: only did he get the money and the popularity, he 102 00:04:04,748 --> 00:04:07,588 Speaker 8: can out market the entire JIM and get ready for 103 00:04:07,628 --> 00:04:10,228 Speaker 8: the season. So I'm going with Lamar Jackson fired up 104 00:04:10,228 --> 00:04:11,988 Speaker 8: for him getting a deal without an agent. 105 00:04:12,068 --> 00:04:12,748 Speaker 6: Didn't he one. 106 00:04:12,828 --> 00:04:15,548 Speaker 3: Market it to its fullest capacity in Kyle Branton needs one. 107 00:04:15,708 --> 00:04:17,348 Speaker 6: Yes, we're going to get for it. 108 00:04:17,428 --> 00:04:18,708 Speaker 2: I'm not mocking. I want to try it. 109 00:04:19,348 --> 00:04:20,628 Speaker 4: You need to buy it, though, don't you. 110 00:04:20,788 --> 00:04:21,748 Speaker 2: I'm happy to buy it. 111 00:04:21,668 --> 00:04:23,388 Speaker 1: Okay, I just I don't think they're on sale yet. 112 00:04:23,388 --> 00:04:23,908 Speaker 2: I'll buy it. 113 00:04:23,948 --> 00:04:24,588 Speaker 7: I'm ready. 114 00:04:25,948 --> 00:04:30,228 Speaker 3: More relieving and off season drama, Aaron Rodgers, more satisfying 115 00:04:30,268 --> 00:04:32,788 Speaker 3: and to off season drama. Lamar Jackson for me to 116 00:04:32,828 --> 00:04:34,628 Speaker 3: the point that you just made at the very tail end, 117 00:04:34,628 --> 00:04:35,828 Speaker 3: which is he did it on his own. 118 00:04:36,148 --> 00:04:37,748 Speaker 4: He did it with his own voice, He did it 119 00:04:37,788 --> 00:04:39,108 Speaker 4: with himself in the meeting room. 120 00:04:39,268 --> 00:04:42,748 Speaker 3: However, the conversations went down, obviously we have to believe 121 00:04:42,748 --> 00:04:45,748 Speaker 3: that Lamar Jackson feels comfortable and compelled enough that this 122 00:04:45,908 --> 00:04:47,788 Speaker 3: was the correct amount of money and the right deal 123 00:04:47,828 --> 00:04:50,748 Speaker 3: for him to walk back into the building in Owens Mills, Maryland, 124 00:04:50,908 --> 00:04:52,988 Speaker 3: holding his head high and saying that I am the 125 00:04:53,028 --> 00:04:55,748 Speaker 3: guy for the next five years. I think this entire 126 00:04:55,788 --> 00:04:59,508 Speaker 3: situation was a the definition of quarterbacks representing themselves all right? 127 00:04:59,508 --> 00:05:00,108 Speaker 4: Onto question two? 128 00:05:00,308 --> 00:05:04,268 Speaker 3: Okay, which rookie quarterback has more weight on their sh 129 00:05:04,908 --> 00:05:08,228 Speaker 3: coming into this season? Is it Bryce Young who oftentimes 130 00:05:08,268 --> 00:05:11,188 Speaker 3: carries the backpack look, or is it c J. Stroud 131 00:05:11,228 --> 00:05:12,788 Speaker 3: Mike who has more weight on their shoulders? 132 00:05:12,948 --> 00:05:16,668 Speaker 5: Yeah, well, there's a rule here that you have to answer. 133 00:05:16,788 --> 00:05:17,828 Speaker 2: Yes, that's Peter's rule. 134 00:05:18,588 --> 00:05:21,468 Speaker 5: It's just a televisionr I'm wearing Peter's jacket, So yeah, 135 00:05:21,468 --> 00:05:23,508 Speaker 5: I guess I say, can't let him down here. 136 00:05:23,748 --> 00:05:27,948 Speaker 2: It does fit like you talked about a Yeah I did. 137 00:05:28,068 --> 00:05:30,188 Speaker 2: I'm gonna go see J. Stroud here. And the reason 138 00:05:30,188 --> 00:05:31,108 Speaker 2: that I'm going to go with CJ. 139 00:05:31,228 --> 00:05:33,468 Speaker 5: Stroud here because again, I just it was kind of 140 00:05:33,508 --> 00:05:34,908 Speaker 5: neck and neck for me, and I thought maybe the 141 00:05:34,988 --> 00:05:36,868 Speaker 5: number one overall picks got more president, But how about 142 00:05:36,868 --> 00:05:38,068 Speaker 5: the guy who had another guy drafted? 143 00:05:38,148 --> 00:05:38,268 Speaker 7: Right? 144 00:05:38,268 --> 00:05:40,588 Speaker 5: Behind him, Right, Like, what if Will Anderson hits the 145 00:05:40,588 --> 00:05:43,908 Speaker 5: ground running and he's got ten sacks and CJ. Stroud's 146 00:05:43,948 --> 00:05:46,228 Speaker 5: not particularly performing well. Now, look, this is a long 147 00:05:46,308 --> 00:05:48,908 Speaker 5: term thing. I wouldn't rush to a snap decision of 148 00:05:48,988 --> 00:05:51,988 Speaker 5: c J. Stroud has an up and down or rookie 149 00:05:51,988 --> 00:05:54,188 Speaker 5: season or struggles a little bit. But yeah, you got 150 00:05:54,188 --> 00:05:56,708 Speaker 5: that guy next to you, and everything that we heard 151 00:05:56,788 --> 00:05:59,548 Speaker 5: is that this guy is ready made and a pretty 152 00:05:59,788 --> 00:06:00,668 Speaker 5: sure prospect. 153 00:06:00,788 --> 00:06:02,588 Speaker 2: So Will Anderson's gonna. 154 00:06:02,468 --> 00:06:05,508 Speaker 5: Certainly perform this upcoming season. So I'll say CJ. Straut 155 00:06:05,508 --> 00:06:07,268 Speaker 5: for that reason and that reason alone, I think it's 156 00:06:07,308 --> 00:06:10,668 Speaker 5: bryce number one pick. You're they didn't even consider it. 157 00:06:10,868 --> 00:06:13,868 Speaker 1: There's a lot of quarterbacks drafted after you. You're going to, 158 00:06:13,988 --> 00:06:17,388 Speaker 1: like I say this respectfully, sleepy Caroline, there's not gonna 159 00:06:17,388 --> 00:06:17,668 Speaker 1: be a lot. 160 00:06:17,628 --> 00:06:19,508 Speaker 2: Of pressure, but there should be a number one overall pick. 161 00:06:19,508 --> 00:06:21,708 Speaker 1: And they you've got all these coaching staff that were 162 00:06:21,748 --> 00:06:23,788 Speaker 1: set up for you, you got called well and you 163 00:06:23,868 --> 00:06:28,148 Speaker 1: got McCown go play. Now, they didn't even think about it. 164 00:06:28,148 --> 00:06:31,108 Speaker 1: They said, this guy's little, we don't care. He's got instincts, 165 00:06:31,148 --> 00:06:32,268 Speaker 1: he's got nuances. 166 00:06:32,588 --> 00:06:33,308 Speaker 2: Well, let's see him. 167 00:06:33,308 --> 00:06:35,148 Speaker 1: I always think it's a number one overall pick, and guys, 168 00:06:35,148 --> 00:06:37,268 Speaker 1: we've had like a let's be honest, a little bit 169 00:06:37,308 --> 00:06:38,828 Speaker 1: of a hit or miss so in the last decade 170 00:06:38,908 --> 00:06:43,988 Speaker 1: or so with those number one overall picks, Burrow, Fantastic, Kyler, TBD, Baker, 171 00:06:44,428 --> 00:06:45,668 Speaker 1: leaves some to be desired. 172 00:06:45,908 --> 00:06:46,988 Speaker 2: Where's Bryce coming to that? 173 00:06:47,068 --> 00:06:49,588 Speaker 1: The number one pick thing follows you around for life 174 00:06:49,868 --> 00:06:50,988 Speaker 1: and it will and Caroline for. 175 00:06:51,028 --> 00:06:53,508 Speaker 8: Him, yeah, it'll always be compared to Michael. Like you, 176 00:06:53,588 --> 00:06:55,508 Speaker 8: I was like, I don't know which one is the 177 00:06:55,548 --> 00:06:58,628 Speaker 8: tougher one. Both decent running games, new head coaches, but 178 00:06:58,988 --> 00:07:01,108 Speaker 8: I'm going to go with CJ. 179 00:07:01,188 --> 00:07:03,108 Speaker 6: Stroud. I'm going to do it on this reason. 180 00:07:03,428 --> 00:07:05,828 Speaker 8: You talked about Bryce on being a number one overall pick, 181 00:07:05,868 --> 00:07:08,068 Speaker 8: and you talked about the coaching staff. Frank right now 182 00:07:08,188 --> 00:07:10,948 Speaker 8: his second time being a head coach, a ton of experience, 183 00:07:11,028 --> 00:07:13,988 Speaker 8: Jim Calwell, mccolen did it for a number of years, 184 00:07:14,068 --> 00:07:16,268 Speaker 8: and I'm going to say that he has people that 185 00:07:16,348 --> 00:07:18,348 Speaker 8: have done this before that are going to try to 186 00:07:18,388 --> 00:07:19,828 Speaker 8: make this road a little easier for CJ. 187 00:07:19,908 --> 00:07:20,228 Speaker 6: Strou. 188 00:07:20,508 --> 00:07:23,548 Speaker 8: He's going down to Houston, Demiko Ryan's first time as 189 00:07:23,588 --> 00:07:26,548 Speaker 8: a head coach, Bobby slow Get coming in now becoming 190 00:07:26,548 --> 00:07:29,108 Speaker 8: the offensive coordinator, they'll have to figure out maybe a 191 00:07:29,148 --> 00:07:31,828 Speaker 8: little bit more to make it a little easier for CJ. 192 00:07:31,908 --> 00:07:34,228 Speaker 8: Stroull and easy him into the transition. 193 00:07:34,468 --> 00:07:35,108 Speaker 6: As I looked at. 194 00:07:35,028 --> 00:07:37,908 Speaker 8: About the weapons around both of these young quarterbacks, there 195 00:07:37,948 --> 00:07:40,268 Speaker 8: isn't like a bona fide number one receiver for any 196 00:07:40,308 --> 00:07:42,268 Speaker 8: of them where you say, well, he'll just take all 197 00:07:42,268 --> 00:07:44,268 Speaker 8: the pressure off him. So I think this is a 198 00:07:44,388 --> 00:07:46,148 Speaker 8: very close one of monitor just to say, but I 199 00:07:46,188 --> 00:07:47,748 Speaker 8: think they both have a chance to be really good. 200 00:07:48,028 --> 00:07:50,668 Speaker 3: I am going with five foot ten and an eighth 201 00:07:50,708 --> 00:07:53,268 Speaker 3: of an inch and how much a weight those shoulders 202 00:07:53,308 --> 00:07:56,428 Speaker 3: can carry because Bryce Young has a very specific opportunity 203 00:07:56,468 --> 00:07:59,148 Speaker 3: here to put all the naysayers to bed with his 204 00:07:59,268 --> 00:08:01,908 Speaker 3: height and his weights, but more specifically his height. Other 205 00:08:01,948 --> 00:08:03,988 Speaker 3: celebrities who are five foot ten and a naighth of 206 00:08:03,988 --> 00:08:08,108 Speaker 3: minichell put that in there. Charlie's, Sarn Lively, Kendall Jenner 207 00:08:08,228 --> 00:08:11,788 Speaker 3: all for five five ten, although Mike Kyson and Sylvester 208 00:08:11,908 --> 00:08:14,428 Speaker 3: Stallone also five ft ten, So take that for what 209 00:08:14,508 --> 00:08:17,588 Speaker 3: you will. I think Bryce Young, because of that height, is. 210 00:08:17,668 --> 00:08:18,948 Speaker 6: Going to have a lot I that was a group 211 00:08:18,988 --> 00:08:20,068 Speaker 6: that all hung out one night. 212 00:08:20,188 --> 00:08:24,188 Speaker 4: I know right, ya, right, that probably probably existed. 213 00:08:24,228 --> 00:08:27,508 Speaker 1: The Mechal probably does Mike to metal still ons like 214 00:08:27,548 --> 00:08:28,108 Speaker 1: five to eighty. 215 00:08:30,828 --> 00:08:33,668 Speaker 2: He's punching about to cruise is six eight? 216 00:08:33,868 --> 00:08:36,828 Speaker 4: Very good, So these announcements are cool. 217 00:08:37,028 --> 00:08:39,628 Speaker 3: The Panthers now have said that for their first overall pick, 218 00:08:39,668 --> 00:08:42,908 Speaker 3: Bryce Young at quarterbacks will wear number nine. Also in 219 00:08:42,908 --> 00:08:45,268 Speaker 3: the NFC South, the Falcons, as I said earlier, mentioned 220 00:08:45,628 --> 00:08:48,148 Speaker 3: that BJ Robinson, their star running back at the eighth 221 00:08:48,188 --> 00:08:51,348 Speaker 3: overall pick, will wear number seven. I'll Michael Vick with 222 00:08:51,388 --> 00:08:54,668 Speaker 3: the Falcons was did belong to their kicker before that, 223 00:08:54,828 --> 00:08:57,868 Speaker 3: but the Falcons have not retired that number yet, so 224 00:08:58,068 --> 00:08:59,868 Speaker 3: this is fair game. Number seven is who is a 225 00:08:59,948 --> 00:09:02,068 Speaker 3: jersey number for the team that's not yet retired, but 226 00:09:02,148 --> 00:09:04,068 Speaker 3: you think they should be Mike the one? 227 00:09:04,108 --> 00:09:04,588 Speaker 2: Growing up? 228 00:09:04,588 --> 00:09:06,788 Speaker 5: For me, it was always Randall number twelve. The Eagles 229 00:09:06,788 --> 00:09:10,148 Speaker 5: have not issued that since Randall left the Philadelphia Eagles. 230 00:09:10,148 --> 00:09:12,908 Speaker 5: Then they're gonna wear the Kelly Green jersey's upcoming seasons. 231 00:09:12,908 --> 00:09:14,988 Speaker 5: I'm looking at that. These are always the weird ones 232 00:09:15,068 --> 00:09:17,708 Speaker 5: right where they're not officially retired but they're not issued. 233 00:09:17,708 --> 00:09:19,948 Speaker 5: There's a lot of these around the league, and I 234 00:09:19,988 --> 00:09:21,948 Speaker 5: remember I think it was Steve Smith, the wide receiver 235 00:09:22,188 --> 00:09:25,148 Speaker 5: signed with the Eagles, left the Giants and he wore twelve, 236 00:09:25,228 --> 00:09:27,748 Speaker 5: and Randall wouldn't give his blessing for that. 237 00:09:27,828 --> 00:09:28,268 Speaker 2: I believe. 238 00:09:28,388 --> 00:09:30,988 Speaker 5: So it's like it's not officially retired, and they'll let 239 00:09:30,988 --> 00:09:32,388 Speaker 5: somebody wear it if they want to wear it. 240 00:09:32,428 --> 00:09:34,868 Speaker 2: But you know what, at this point, hang it up, 241 00:09:35,388 --> 00:09:36,468 Speaker 2: Hang it up, yeah, hang it up. 242 00:09:36,668 --> 00:09:38,348 Speaker 1: Maybe they should because he wouldn't give his blessing to 243 00:09:38,388 --> 00:09:39,988 Speaker 1: the video game company either, where he was known as 244 00:09:40,068 --> 00:09:42,468 Speaker 1: QB twelve, the only player in the game not have 245 00:09:42,508 --> 00:09:43,028 Speaker 1: his last name. 246 00:09:43,028 --> 00:09:45,188 Speaker 2: Minute. I would go back to the Falcons. There are 247 00:09:45,188 --> 00:09:46,068 Speaker 2: certain numbers. I think. 248 00:09:46,108 --> 00:09:48,108 Speaker 1: You just see the number in really in any sport, 249 00:09:48,148 --> 00:09:50,788 Speaker 1: and you're like, twenty three that's Jordan, Yeah, ninety nine 250 00:09:50,868 --> 00:09:53,268 Speaker 1: is Wayne Gretzky. Maybe Kobe is eight. If you look 251 00:09:53,268 --> 00:09:55,308 Speaker 1: at Kobe is eight, twenty one to me is Dion. 252 00:09:55,508 --> 00:09:57,788 Speaker 1: You see twenty one and that is Dion Sanders. It's 253 00:09:57,788 --> 00:10:00,388 Speaker 1: not retired for the Falcons. The Falcons have an interesting 254 00:10:00,428 --> 00:10:02,388 Speaker 1: stance on this. You go to their official website, the 255 00:10:02,428 --> 00:10:06,308 Speaker 1: Falcons organization does not officially retire numbers as an organization, 256 00:10:06,428 --> 00:10:08,668 Speaker 1: they don't do it. You get put in the ring 257 00:10:08,708 --> 00:10:10,988 Speaker 1: of honor and you're there with Jesse Tugglan stuff. But 258 00:10:11,068 --> 00:10:12,868 Speaker 1: I don't care if you're in high school football if 259 00:10:13,068 --> 00:10:14,788 Speaker 1: if you put on twenty one, like you better cook, 260 00:10:14,908 --> 00:10:16,308 Speaker 1: and you know, it's like the opposite what we were saying. 261 00:10:16,348 --> 00:10:19,228 Speaker 2: Jasont numbers in the high forties. Yes, you can't go. 262 00:10:19,148 --> 00:10:21,788 Speaker 1: Into the NFL running a four to nine and four 263 00:10:21,828 --> 00:10:22,868 Speaker 1: eight and were twenty one. 264 00:10:23,068 --> 00:10:25,108 Speaker 2: It is only four to four in below. 265 00:10:25,188 --> 00:10:27,588 Speaker 1: In fact, four to three probably, I see twenty one. 266 00:10:27,588 --> 00:10:29,628 Speaker 1: I think, Dion, the Falcons do not retire. They don't 267 00:10:29,668 --> 00:10:30,348 Speaker 1: retire numbers. 268 00:10:30,508 --> 00:10:31,268 Speaker 7: I think it should be. 269 00:10:31,908 --> 00:10:32,548 Speaker 4: The whole beach. 270 00:10:32,588 --> 00:10:35,188 Speaker 3: On Robinson taking over seven for the Falcons. Speaking of 271 00:10:35,188 --> 00:10:37,028 Speaker 3: the Falcons kind of caught my eye because it belonged 272 00:10:37,068 --> 00:10:38,668 Speaker 3: to their kicker, young Wikus. So I went down the 273 00:10:38,708 --> 00:10:40,868 Speaker 3: kicker path because the single digit kicker I think is 274 00:10:40,948 --> 00:10:44,228 Speaker 3: kind of gutsy as well. So seven Morton Anderson for 275 00:10:44,268 --> 00:10:47,668 Speaker 3: the New Orleans Saints. Mister automatic, if you will, My 276 00:10:47,748 --> 00:10:50,388 Speaker 3: relationship with kickers named Anderson between the Vikings and the 277 00:10:50,428 --> 00:10:53,428 Speaker 3: Saints is a heartbroken history. But Morton Anderson, you can't 278 00:10:53,428 --> 00:10:55,948 Speaker 3: respect much more than a guy that leads the Saints 279 00:10:56,068 --> 00:11:00,028 Speaker 3: in's points scored he is second in point scored for 280 00:11:00,068 --> 00:11:03,148 Speaker 3: a kicker, behind Adam vit Terry. He's got six Pro Bowls, 281 00:11:03,148 --> 00:11:03,908 Speaker 3: He's in the Hall of Fame. 282 00:11:04,388 --> 00:11:06,148 Speaker 4: Far time All Pro selection for the Saints. 283 00:11:06,308 --> 00:11:09,308 Speaker 3: But number seven as a special teams guy is gutsy. 284 00:11:09,348 --> 00:11:11,548 Speaker 3: But if you can follow through U pun intended, then. 285 00:11:11,428 --> 00:11:11,828 Speaker 2: So be it. 286 00:11:11,868 --> 00:11:12,308 Speaker 4: How at it? 287 00:11:12,428 --> 00:11:14,468 Speaker 8: I love that a kicker getting the number of retired 288 00:11:14,788 --> 00:11:15,548 Speaker 8: number to wear it again? 289 00:11:15,588 --> 00:11:16,428 Speaker 6: Why not? Exactly? 290 00:11:16,508 --> 00:11:18,348 Speaker 1: He also has a pop single, right, Mike, don't we 291 00:11:18,628 --> 00:11:20,988 Speaker 1: take it to the top. 292 00:11:21,108 --> 00:11:22,948 Speaker 6: Take that number to the top of the ract. Go 293 00:11:23,108 --> 00:11:24,548 Speaker 6: do not wear it again? I love that. 294 00:11:24,788 --> 00:11:28,748 Speaker 8: I'm going with the Washington Commanders franchise, Doug Williams the 295 00:11:28,868 --> 00:11:32,028 Speaker 8: number seventeen, first black quarterback to win the Super Bowl. 296 00:11:32,428 --> 00:11:34,588 Speaker 8: Think three hundred and forty yards in that game. 297 00:11:34,948 --> 00:11:36,908 Speaker 6: Yes, obviously a lot of stuff. 298 00:11:36,628 --> 00:11:38,548 Speaker 8: Going on with the Commander's organization. 299 00:11:39,308 --> 00:11:41,308 Speaker 6: Go ahead and retire Doug Williams number. 300 00:11:41,308 --> 00:11:43,708 Speaker 8: Give him his place in history for what he accomplished, 301 00:11:43,708 --> 00:11:46,068 Speaker 8: what he did for not only the sport, but for 302 00:11:46,148 --> 00:11:49,868 Speaker 8: their franchise as well, going out there and balling. So 303 00:11:49,948 --> 00:11:52,748 Speaker 8: for me, I would love to see Doug Williams number 304 00:11:52,828 --> 00:11:53,348 Speaker 8: to go out there. 305 00:11:53,388 --> 00:11:55,068 Speaker 6: I was kind of surprised. I thought it might have 306 00:11:55,188 --> 00:11:56,508 Speaker 6: already been, but it wasn't. 307 00:11:56,748 --> 00:12:01,188 Speaker 8: So Doug Williams out there throwing touchdown passes, winning super Bowls. 308 00:12:01,548 --> 00:12:02,828 Speaker 2: I feel like that's an easy one too. 309 00:12:02,868 --> 00:12:04,708 Speaker 5: It's not like a lot of players wont to wear 310 00:12:04,748 --> 00:12:07,348 Speaker 5: that number, right, it's not so. 311 00:12:07,668 --> 00:12:10,228 Speaker 3: I just yeah, he's one of the greatest running backs 312 00:12:10,228 --> 00:12:12,908 Speaker 3: to sure was impressed with Let's get the show back 313 00:12:12,948 --> 00:12:14,748 Speaker 3: in the rails because we got Cowboys. 314 00:12:14,388 --> 00:12:16,628 Speaker 4: Legend and Hall of Famer EMITTT.

It just 337 00:13:17,548 --> 00:13:20,028 Speaker 10: I mean the Eagles and then when they compounded that 338 00:13:20,108 --> 00:13:23,348 Speaker 10: with the DeAndre Swift trade, I've made the point. What 339 00:13:23,468 --> 00:13:25,468 Speaker 10: is how he doing is does he like go to 340 00:13:25,508 --> 00:13:28,988 Speaker 10: these owners meetings and and like hypnotize guys and just say, 341 00:13:29,068 --> 00:13:30,348 Speaker 10: you know, they eat out of his paw. 342 00:13:31,188 --> 00:13:38,228 Speaker 1: You are getting sleepy Eagles better, And that's what's happening. 343 00:13:38,628 --> 00:13:40,588 Speaker 10: So I thought they did a heck of a job 344 00:13:40,668 --> 00:13:42,828 Speaker 10: once again, Uh, you put all your eggs in one 345 00:13:42,868 --> 00:13:45,948 Speaker 10: basket a little bit with Georgia. I'm not too interested 346 00:13:45,948 --> 00:13:48,348 Speaker 10: in that or the decision making in that they're good 347 00:13:48,348 --> 00:13:50,748 Speaker 10: football players, and I just think what he does is 348 00:13:50,788 --> 00:13:53,828 Speaker 10: he just he doesn't overthink it. He just picks really 349 00:13:53,828 --> 00:13:55,668 Speaker 10: good football players. And if they're on the decline, like 350 00:13:55,708 --> 00:13:58,468 Speaker 10: if they are what people consider falling back in the draft, 351 00:13:58,468 --> 00:14:00,428 Speaker 10: He's like, you know, I'm not I'm not gonna buy 352 00:14:00,468 --> 00:14:02,348 Speaker 10: into what everybody else is selling here. I'm gonna grab 353 00:14:02,388 --> 00:14:03,988 Speaker 10: the best player. I can at this spot, and we're 354 00:14:03,988 --> 00:14:05,988 Speaker 10: gonna make it the best possible situation. They can't. I 355 00:14:05,988 --> 00:14:09,028 Speaker 10: also think because of all the hooplah around Aaron Rodgers, 356 00:14:09,388 --> 00:14:11,108 Speaker 10: I think it's been a bit of a smoke screen, 357 00:14:11,388 --> 00:14:15,548 Speaker 10: and the giants in the background just kind of simply 358 00:14:15,628 --> 00:14:18,228 Speaker 10: went about their business, and Brian Daviles just kind of 359 00:14:18,308 --> 00:14:20,108 Speaker 10: you know, if he had a mustache, he'd be twirling 360 00:14:20,108 --> 00:14:22,188 Speaker 10: it a little bit right now. And just thinking Jalen 361 00:14:22,228 --> 00:14:24,788 Speaker 10: High out in the third round is a steal. They 362 00:14:24,828 --> 00:14:27,828 Speaker 10: needed a burner, they got it, and I don't think 363 00:14:27,948 --> 00:14:30,348 Speaker 10: enough people are necessarily looking at what the Jets did. 364 00:14:30,388 --> 00:14:33,028 Speaker 10: The swap cost them an offensive tackle and then Joe 365 00:14:33,028 --> 00:14:37,308 Speaker 10: Douglas's panicked and instead of like going, Okay, what's the 366 00:14:37,348 --> 00:14:38,828 Speaker 10: best thing for Aaron Rodgers right now? 367 00:14:38,988 --> 00:14:39,628 Speaker 2: What could I do that? 368 00:14:39,668 --> 00:14:42,628 Speaker 10: The Green Bay Packers never did get a skill position 369 00:14:42,668 --> 00:14:47,228 Speaker 10: player in the first round, you know, Nijigba, maybe Dalton 370 00:14:47,268 --> 00:14:50,788 Speaker 10: kin Kaid no nothing against Will McDonald love him to death. 371 00:14:51,188 --> 00:14:52,708 Speaker 10: Most likely is going to be on the back end 372 00:14:52,748 --> 00:14:54,508 Speaker 10: of things, maybe not see the field that much. In 373 00:14:54,548 --> 00:14:56,468 Speaker 10: Aaron Rodgers' first year, I think that would have gone 374 00:14:56,468 --> 00:14:58,708 Speaker 10: a long way to bolster him. Maybe the in terms 375 00:14:58,708 --> 00:15:01,828 Speaker 10: of longevity to second year, third year year if they 376 00:15:01,828 --> 00:15:03,828 Speaker 10: don't win the Super Bowl or get to a Super Bowl. 377 00:15:03,908 --> 00:15:06,108 Speaker 10: So I think the Giants may have kind of stolen 378 00:15:06,188 --> 00:15:07,708 Speaker 10: New York in terms of a little bit in what 379 00:15:07,748 --> 00:15:09,548 Speaker 10: they did the draft. And I don't I think because 380 00:15:09,548 --> 00:15:12,188 Speaker 10: everybody's so optimistic right now and he's become kind of 381 00:15:12,188 --> 00:15:15,148 Speaker 10: the king of New York over the weekend. You're like, Okaydar, 382 00:15:15,228 --> 00:15:17,188 Speaker 10: whatever the Giants are doing in Brian Dables sitting there 383 00:15:17,188 --> 00:15:17,628 Speaker 10: just going. 384 00:15:18,148 --> 00:15:21,588 Speaker 1: Yeah, Joe Shane joining the Good Morning Football program tomorrow, 385 00:15:22,108 --> 00:15:25,268 Speaker 1: We'll be joining us hopefully here at the table. Two quarterbacks, 386 00:15:25,348 --> 00:15:28,668 Speaker 1: Ryan taking Friday, Will Levis goes to Tennessee after a 387 00:15:28,828 --> 00:15:32,028 Speaker 1: pretty big fall. Hendon Hooker goes to Detroit. You got 388 00:15:32,028 --> 00:15:34,428 Speaker 1: to invest in one of them, like, this guy's gonna 389 00:15:34,468 --> 00:15:34,748 Speaker 1: make it. 390 00:15:34,828 --> 00:15:35,428 Speaker 7: Who are you picking? 391 00:15:35,588 --> 00:15:37,988 Speaker 10: Well Hendon Hooker. For me, it's just I thought he 392 00:15:38,068 --> 00:15:39,308 Speaker 10: was one of the you know, you like him, top 393 00:15:39,348 --> 00:15:40,108 Speaker 10: three quarterbacks. 394 00:15:40,188 --> 00:15:41,668 Speaker 7: So I like him. 395 00:15:41,668 --> 00:15:44,708 Speaker 10: And if people are worried about his age, don't be 396 00:15:44,708 --> 00:15:47,828 Speaker 10: because if you could get let's say, elite level quarterback 397 00:15:47,828 --> 00:15:49,588 Speaker 10: play out of Hendon Hooker when he becomes a starter, 398 00:15:49,748 --> 00:15:53,028 Speaker 10: let's say at twenty seven for eight years, seven years. 399 00:15:53,068 --> 00:15:55,348 Speaker 10: He's thirty five. I'm telling you right now, a head coach, 400 00:15:55,468 --> 00:15:57,348 Speaker 10: a general manager's going to take seven years of. 401 00:15:57,348 --> 00:15:58,708 Speaker 2: Elite quarterback play. 402 00:15:58,628 --> 00:16:02,188 Speaker 10: They're not the eighteen to twenty years of playing Aaron Rodgers, 403 00:16:02,468 --> 00:16:04,748 Speaker 10: Peyton Manning, Tom Brady. Those are those. There are the 404 00:16:04,788 --> 00:16:07,188 Speaker 10: exceptions to the rule. That's just how it is, So 405 00:16:07,428 --> 00:16:09,308 Speaker 10: don't worry about it. He's got a ton of maturity. 406 00:16:09,468 --> 00:16:11,228 Speaker 10: I'd rather I wish I was twenty five when I 407 00:16:11,308 --> 00:16:11,868 Speaker 10: got drafted. 408 00:16:11,868 --> 00:16:12,668 Speaker 7: I was twenty one. 409 00:16:12,988 --> 00:16:16,708 Speaker 10: That wasn't very good or anybody, especially me. So I'm 410 00:16:16,708 --> 00:16:19,548 Speaker 10: okay with all that. The Will Levice thing. People talk 411 00:16:19,548 --> 00:16:21,468 Speaker 10: about it being a drop. I mean, I guess people 412 00:16:21,468 --> 00:16:23,748 Speaker 10: wouldn't have been surprised if he would have been drafted early. 413 00:16:23,868 --> 00:16:25,188 Speaker 10: But we talked about it last week. 414 00:16:25,188 --> 00:16:26,508 Speaker 2: I thought it was a good thing for him. 415 00:16:26,828 --> 00:16:28,908 Speaker 10: Not one person out there is thinking that he's going 416 00:16:28,948 --> 00:16:32,468 Speaker 10: to have to start next year or wearing around this 417 00:16:32,868 --> 00:16:35,588 Speaker 10: anchor of being a top five draft pick when he 418 00:16:35,628 --> 00:16:38,508 Speaker 10: maybe didn't belong in that position. So I think it's 419 00:16:38,548 --> 00:16:41,188 Speaker 10: a win. Not The win is the amount of money 420 00:16:41,188 --> 00:16:42,948 Speaker 10: that you get if you're a top five pick. You 421 00:16:42,988 --> 00:16:46,508 Speaker 10: know that sucks for someone, but if he can get 422 00:16:46,508 --> 00:16:48,428 Speaker 10: to that second contract, they'll make it, which is where 423 00:16:48,468 --> 00:16:51,548 Speaker 10: you'll make all that money anyway, and if this benefits 424 00:16:51,628 --> 00:16:53,548 Speaker 10: him to do that, so I like them bold. I 425 00:16:53,548 --> 00:16:55,668 Speaker 10: don't know if I liked the landing spot for Hennon Hooker, 426 00:16:55,788 --> 00:16:57,228 Speaker 10: just because I think Jared Goff's going to have a 427 00:16:57,268 --> 00:16:58,588 Speaker 10: heck of a year and they're going to extend him 428 00:16:58,628 --> 00:17:00,548 Speaker 10: for a big deal. I think he gets to the 429 00:17:00,588 --> 00:17:03,228 Speaker 10: playoffs for the first time since twenty sixteen with the Lions, 430 00:17:03,308 --> 00:17:05,468 Speaker 10: and I think that's a big, big thing. I don't 431 00:17:05,468 --> 00:17:07,308 Speaker 10: necessarily know what they were doing draft pickwise in the 432 00:17:07,308 --> 00:17:10,788 Speaker 10: first round, but hey, we're not here to judge immediately. 433 00:17:10,788 --> 00:17:14,108 Speaker 10: It's just optic. Four yeah, four years from now they 434 00:17:14,108 --> 00:17:17,668 Speaker 10: could have the new Briner Lacker and maybe Alvin Kamara. 435 00:17:18,108 --> 00:17:20,948 Speaker 3: All we have time for here is to judge. 436 00:17:20,428 --> 00:17:23,708 Speaker 5: Judging immediately is literally what we do. 437 00:17:23,788 --> 00:17:25,028 Speaker 2: That's what the contract states. 438 00:17:25,068 --> 00:17:26,708 Speaker 5: I want to talk more about the Lions and Jared 439 00:17:26,748 --> 00:17:29,348 Speaker 5: Goff though, because golf has already surprised me with what 440 00:17:29,388 --> 00:17:32,508 Speaker 5: he's done in Detroit. Hooker, you come in, It's it's 441 00:17:32,508 --> 00:17:34,468 Speaker 5: not like you're drafting a guy. I mean, I know 442 00:17:34,508 --> 00:17:36,868 Speaker 5: you said there's no immediate expectations for Levis, but it's 443 00:17:36,868 --> 00:17:38,708 Speaker 5: not like you're drafting a guy who's ready to go. 444 00:17:38,748 --> 00:17:40,308 Speaker 2: There's that acl recovery part of it. 445 00:17:40,348 --> 00:17:42,828 Speaker 5: So Jared Gouff knowing that, yeah, Hooker could be down 446 00:17:42,868 --> 00:17:45,428 Speaker 5: the line, here, what's his mentality as the approaches the season. 447 00:17:45,548 --> 00:17:48,628 Speaker 10: I would hope that that Dan Campbell and Brad Holmes 448 00:17:48,628 --> 00:17:50,348 Speaker 10: talked to him about it. That would have been, you know, 449 00:17:50,428 --> 00:17:52,188 Speaker 10: the good thing to do with him, say we're going 450 00:17:52,228 --> 00:17:54,068 Speaker 10: to go get this guy. Of course he's not going 451 00:17:54,148 --> 00:17:56,308 Speaker 10: to be able to really go this year. You're on 452 00:17:56,348 --> 00:17:58,668 Speaker 10: your final year of your contract. This is an opportunity 453 00:17:58,708 --> 00:18:01,908 Speaker 10: for you, right, show us what we invested in when 454 00:18:01,908 --> 00:18:04,268 Speaker 10: we made the trade, and then you don't worry about anything. 455 00:18:04,388 --> 00:18:06,788 Speaker 10: You know. We drafted a guy that I think has 456 00:18:06,828 --> 00:18:09,428 Speaker 10: some has a high ceiling, and maybe we can Jimmy 457 00:18:09,548 --> 00:18:12,148 Speaker 10: gield this a little bit, you know, and have something 458 00:18:12,188 --> 00:18:15,188 Speaker 10: special to move. That's the best case scenario I think 459 00:18:15,228 --> 00:18:17,308 Speaker 10: with that With what they did in the first round 460 00:18:17,308 --> 00:18:19,268 Speaker 10: in terms of draft picks, I was a little hesitant 461 00:18:19,268 --> 00:18:21,228 Speaker 10: that they took him with a third round pick, but 462 00:18:21,268 --> 00:18:23,028 Speaker 10: they really did a good job with that trade and 463 00:18:23,068 --> 00:18:24,628 Speaker 10: were able to move up and have the thirty fourth 464 00:18:24,628 --> 00:18:26,468 Speaker 10: pick in the draft and do some of those things 465 00:18:26,508 --> 00:18:31,428 Speaker 10: so that this pick wasn't necessarily as you know, an 466 00:18:31,428 --> 00:18:33,868 Speaker 10: expensive type of one. They could go and maybe make 467 00:18:33,908 --> 00:18:35,668 Speaker 10: a make a long term bet with the likes of 468 00:18:35,708 --> 00:18:36,228 Speaker 10: Hendon Hooker. 469 00:18:36,348 --> 00:18:38,548 Speaker 3: Yeah, that's exactly what I thought when the Lions drafted 470 00:18:38,708 --> 00:18:39,428 Speaker 3: Endon Hooker as well. 471 00:18:39,668 --> 00:18:41,508 Speaker 4: Let's you've said it better than I thought. 472 00:18:41,628 --> 00:18:44,068 Speaker 3: Jimmy g this thing because you make a really you 473 00:18:44,148 --> 00:18:46,388 Speaker 3: turn a really valuable quarterback into something and he can 474 00:18:46,428 --> 00:18:48,148 Speaker 3: go off you can get trade. 475 00:18:47,868 --> 00:18:48,908 Speaker 4: Compensation back for it. 476 00:18:48,988 --> 00:18:52,588 Speaker 3: Let's talk another now, former backup quarterback turned to quarterback 477 00:18:52,588 --> 00:18:54,908 Speaker 3: one in Green Bay and Jordan Love. He has completed 478 00:18:54,948 --> 00:18:57,748 Speaker 3: just fifty career passes, so now he has been handed 479 00:18:57,788 --> 00:18:59,868 Speaker 3: the keys to the castle in Green Bay. But he 480 00:18:59,948 --> 00:19:02,068 Speaker 3: signed a one year extension because we weren't sure about 481 00:19:02,068 --> 00:19:04,588 Speaker 3: the fifth year option. Deadline yesterday gets the deal done. 482 00:19:04,628 --> 00:19:06,268 Speaker 3: What do you think about this decision for Green Bay? 483 00:19:06,268 --> 00:19:08,308 Speaker 10: Breass Well, I thought it was really unique. We don't 484 00:19:08,348 --> 00:19:11,868 Speaker 10: normally see this. It's an either fifth year option or no. 485 00:19:12,148 --> 00:19:14,268 Speaker 10: And what they do is they extend him, but really 486 00:19:14,308 --> 00:19:15,708 Speaker 10: just to a one year deal. I thought this was 487 00:19:15,908 --> 00:19:19,388 Speaker 10: very invented by the Greenway Packers and Brian Goodenkoutz. And 488 00:19:19,468 --> 00:19:21,828 Speaker 10: what they've done is they've said, we really like him, 489 00:19:22,108 --> 00:19:24,148 Speaker 10: we really like you. We just we don't know, we 490 00:19:24,188 --> 00:19:25,948 Speaker 10: don't have enough data yet. So what we're going to 491 00:19:25,948 --> 00:19:27,188 Speaker 10: do is we're going to give you that other year. 492 00:19:27,388 --> 00:19:29,348 Speaker 10: We're going to split the difference, give you thirteen and 493 00:19:29,388 --> 00:19:31,268 Speaker 10: a half million dollars, and if you ball out like 494 00:19:31,308 --> 00:19:33,108 Speaker 10: we think you're going to ball out this year, then 495 00:19:33,148 --> 00:19:34,708 Speaker 10: we'll probably just tear it up and sign you to 496 00:19:34,708 --> 00:19:37,348 Speaker 10: the long term extension. So I loved how they went 497 00:19:37,388 --> 00:19:39,308 Speaker 10: about it, and he was more than willing to do it. 498 00:19:39,348 --> 00:19:41,268 Speaker 10: And if his agent's sitting there talking to him about 499 00:19:41,268 --> 00:19:42,428 Speaker 10: it a little bit, he's got to be like, hey, 500 00:19:42,628 --> 00:19:44,148 Speaker 10: this is a good deal, but we're only you know, 501 00:19:44,348 --> 00:19:46,708 Speaker 10: it's only a one year extension. There was a conversation 502 00:19:46,788 --> 00:19:50,068 Speaker 10: that had there that convened and came to a medium spot, 503 00:19:50,068 --> 00:19:51,828 Speaker 10: and that's that's all you can ask for from a 504 00:19:51,868 --> 00:19:53,108 Speaker 10: quarterback is trying to prove himself. 505 00:19:53,108 --> 00:19:53,868 Speaker 4: Friday are the best. 506 00:19:54,028 --> 00:19:57,028 Speaker 3: I having you at the table. And I'm not super 507 00:19:57,028 --> 00:19:58,748 Speaker 3: sad to say this though, but like our next guest 508 00:19:58,908 --> 00:20:00,828 Speaker 3: is it's pretty good. 509 00:20:00,668 --> 00:20:01,628 Speaker 4: Pretty good, pretty good. 510 00:20:01,868 --> 00:20:04,828 Speaker 10: We have the same birthday and we shared this locker 511 00:20:04,908 --> 00:20:06,788 Speaker 10: room and he was one of them when I showed 512 00:20:06,828 --> 00:20:08,468 Speaker 10: up there. He was one of my best friends in 513 00:20:08,548 --> 00:20:12,308 Speaker 10: terms of welcoming to Dallas, and I thought I was 514 00:20:12,308 --> 00:20:13,828 Speaker 10: going to be there long enough where I was going 515 00:20:13,868 --> 00:20:15,108 Speaker 10: to be the one to hand him off for the 516 00:20:15,148 --> 00:20:15,908 Speaker 10: record breaking wine. 517 00:20:16,228 --> 00:20:19,988 Speaker 2: That's so cool, Ryan, Yeah, Cha Hutchinson got that thing. 518 00:20:20,108 --> 00:20:24,028 Speaker 3: That's yes later, that's Enough's right there. Former best friend 519 00:20:24,028 --> 00:20:26,188 Speaker 3: of Emma Smith, Ryley, He's a great guy. 520 00:20:26,628 --> 00:20:29,428 Speaker 1: Then here is our next guest has more rushing yards 521 00:20:29,468 --> 00:20:31,348 Speaker 1: than you. I don't care who you are, can be 522 00:20:31,388 --> 00:20:33,828 Speaker 1: Adrian Peterson, Barry Sanders, Frank Gore. 523 00:20:33,868 --> 00:20:34,668 Speaker 2: I love you guys. 524 00:20:34,788 --> 00:20:37,148 Speaker 1: This guy's got the numbers, this guy's got the rings, 525 00:20:37,148 --> 00:20:39,108 Speaker 1: and this guy has some killer tequila. 526 00:20:39,308 --> 00:20:42,188 Speaker 2: Could he be cooler? An American icond Ladies and gentlemen. 527 00:20:42,308 --> 00:20:43,508 Speaker 2: Emmett Smith, Well. 528 00:20:44,388 --> 00:20:48,708 Speaker 11: What good morning, good morning, good morning. How are you guys? 529 00:20:48,988 --> 00:20:51,708 Speaker 1: The best? Just so happy to see you, Emma. And 530 00:20:51,748 --> 00:20:53,308 Speaker 1: it's a perfect timing because we want to talk to 531 00:20:53,308 --> 00:20:55,148 Speaker 1: you about this. We talk a lot here at the table. 532 00:20:55,188 --> 00:20:57,708 Speaker 1: We love football, morning, noon and night. All this talk 533 00:20:57,748 --> 00:21:00,948 Speaker 1: about our running backs. We've passed them by, and the 534 00:21:00,988 --> 00:21:03,428 Speaker 1: position isn't what it used to be when you were playing. 535 00:21:03,628 --> 00:21:05,988 Speaker 2: They're not as valid. You shouldn't pay him as much. 536 00:21:06,108 --> 00:21:08,028 Speaker 1: And yet we see a couple get selected the first 537 00:21:08,068 --> 00:21:11,028 Speaker 1: twelve picks of the draft. Emmett, how are you feeling 538 00:21:11,028 --> 00:21:13,028 Speaker 1: about the state of running backs in the NFL and 539 00:21:13,068 --> 00:21:14,068 Speaker 1: should we be excited? 540 00:21:14,228 --> 00:21:15,468 Speaker 7: Well, I think we shouldn't. 541 00:21:15,588 --> 00:21:20,428 Speaker 11: Shouldn't never lose the excitement around running backs because running 542 00:21:20,428 --> 00:21:21,428 Speaker 11: backs are very dynamic. 543 00:21:21,468 --> 00:21:22,668 Speaker 7: We do a lot of different things. 544 00:21:22,668 --> 00:21:26,628 Speaker 11: We don't get the respect at that position like we 545 00:21:26,828 --> 00:21:30,948 Speaker 11: used to because we're not utilizing the same formats that 546 00:21:31,508 --> 00:21:33,388 Speaker 11: I grew up playing in. I mean, back in the 547 00:21:33,468 --> 00:21:37,628 Speaker 11: day we talk about power football versus finesse football, and 548 00:21:37,748 --> 00:21:41,588 Speaker 11: today's football is more about finesse. It's more about scoring 549 00:21:41,628 --> 00:21:44,388 Speaker 11: more points and getting fantasy points and everything else. It's 550 00:21:44,428 --> 00:21:49,068 Speaker 11: about the protection of the quarterback, the ability to force 551 00:21:49,228 --> 00:21:52,188 Speaker 11: cornerbacks not to touch people and everything else. It's about 552 00:21:52,308 --> 00:21:55,588 Speaker 11: keeping the ball moving forward but yet putting more points 553 00:21:55,668 --> 00:21:58,068 Speaker 11: on the board for all of the fantasy football levels 554 00:21:58,108 --> 00:22:00,788 Speaker 11: around the world. And so I think we're talking at 555 00:22:00,828 --> 00:22:04,068 Speaker 11: a different time, different place. The network's love high scoring 556 00:22:04,108 --> 00:22:06,468 Speaker 11: game to make everything exciting and make the ratings grow, 557 00:22:06,708 --> 00:22:09,188 Speaker 11: go up on the football field and on Sundays and 558 00:22:09,228 --> 00:22:12,948 Speaker 11: Mondays and Thursdays. Now, so football is just it has 559 00:22:13,068 --> 00:22:16,028 Speaker 11: changed so much, so the value of the position also 560 00:22:16,108 --> 00:22:18,348 Speaker 11: has to change and evolve. And so, but you look 561 00:22:18,428 --> 00:22:20,588 Speaker 11: at guys like at Tony Parlor, you look at other 562 00:22:20,668 --> 00:22:23,148 Speaker 11: running backs that are coming out of the backfield, making 563 00:22:23,228 --> 00:22:26,268 Speaker 11: blocks out of the backfield. They are saving quarterbacks and 564 00:22:26,268 --> 00:22:30,068 Speaker 11: giving quarterbacks the time to do the things that they do. Therefore, 565 00:22:30,148 --> 00:22:32,868 Speaker 11: you must have a quarterback that's mobile. You cannot have 566 00:22:32,908 --> 00:22:35,428 Speaker 11: a guy that's back then. That's a statue. Now with 567 00:22:35,508 --> 00:22:38,108 Speaker 11: these great defensive ends rushing the way that they're rushing 568 00:22:38,148 --> 00:22:42,148 Speaker 11: and so forth, so the running back position has not 569 00:22:42,308 --> 00:22:46,028 Speaker 11: been valued like it used to, mainly because players are 570 00:22:46,068 --> 00:22:49,028 Speaker 11: not playing or carrying the ball as much as they 571 00:22:49,148 --> 00:22:49,468 Speaker 11: used to. 572 00:22:49,708 --> 00:22:52,268 Speaker 7: There was times when I would be in the game and. 573 00:22:52,308 --> 00:22:56,508 Speaker 11: Have approximately thirty plus touches during the course of one game. 574 00:22:56,708 --> 00:22:59,188 Speaker 11: You don't see that kind of volume being produced by 575 00:22:59,268 --> 00:23:01,828 Speaker 11: running backs now. It's not because they can't do it. 576 00:23:01,828 --> 00:23:04,348 Speaker 11: It's because the league is not necessarily or the systems 577 00:23:04,548 --> 00:23:06,708 Speaker 11: not necessarily built for that to happen. 578 00:23:06,748 --> 00:23:08,868 Speaker 8: Now, you're absolutely right, on that and then we were 579 00:23:08,908 --> 00:23:10,948 Speaker 8: just looking at just your status as you were coming 580 00:23:10,988 --> 00:23:14,148 Speaker 8: on eleven straight years over one thousand yards. You just 581 00:23:14,188 --> 00:23:17,028 Speaker 8: don't see that level of production anymore from that position. 582 00:23:17,228 --> 00:23:20,508 Speaker 8: And the Cowboys recently released Ezekiel Elliott in March. But 583 00:23:20,548 --> 00:23:23,068 Speaker 8: then Jerry Jones came back and said, the ship hasn't 584 00:23:23,148 --> 00:23:25,468 Speaker 8: sailed on Zeke. What do you think the chances are 585 00:23:25,508 --> 00:23:28,148 Speaker 8: that he resigns ends back of Dallas Cowboy? 586 00:23:28,348 --> 00:23:31,228 Speaker 11: Well, if no one else is touching Zeke, which I'm 587 00:23:31,228 --> 00:23:35,628 Speaker 11: founding very surprising and shocking. It reminds me a little 588 00:23:35,668 --> 00:23:38,308 Speaker 11: bit about my situation when I was a restricted free 589 00:23:38,348 --> 00:23:40,668 Speaker 11: agent and I couldn't and I'm coming off of my 590 00:23:40,748 --> 00:23:43,468 Speaker 11: Super Bowl year after happened the rookie Rookie of the 591 00:23:43,508 --> 00:23:46,548 Speaker 11: Year season, leading the league in rushing in year two 592 00:23:46,868 --> 00:23:48,708 Speaker 11: and leading the league and rushing in year three, and 593 00:23:48,748 --> 00:23:50,788 Speaker 11: coming off the Super Bowl in the year three, and 594 00:23:50,868 --> 00:23:53,508 Speaker 11: no one touched me. I'm still trying to figure that 595 00:23:53,548 --> 00:23:55,908 Speaker 11: one out. And I'm still a young player at the time. 596 00:23:56,028 --> 00:23:58,188 Speaker 7: So with Zeke, though, it's a little bit different. He's 597 00:23:58,628 --> 00:23:59,228 Speaker 7: a little bit. 598 00:23:59,068 --> 00:24:02,068 Speaker 11: Older than I was at this time, and I'm surprised 599 00:24:02,068 --> 00:24:03,828 Speaker 11: that no one has touched him, and no one is 600 00:24:03,868 --> 00:24:05,548 Speaker 11: picking them up, and no one is bringing him on 601 00:24:05,548 --> 00:24:08,028 Speaker 11: his team, even for the wisdom that he may have 602 00:24:08,228 --> 00:24:11,308 Speaker 11: to help younger running backs. He still has what it 603 00:24:11,388 --> 00:24:13,828 Speaker 11: takes to be a starting running back. But if the 604 00:24:13,868 --> 00:24:15,948 Speaker 11: Cowboys bring him back, I think it would be a 605 00:24:15,988 --> 00:24:19,988 Speaker 11: wise move because we have to still see what Tony 606 00:24:20,028 --> 00:24:23,108 Speaker 11: Pollard can do after coming off of that severe injury 607 00:24:23,108 --> 00:24:26,068 Speaker 11: that he sustained last year going to playoff, and we 608 00:24:26,228 --> 00:24:29,228 Speaker 11: need to have not only a veteran running back, because 609 00:24:29,228 --> 00:24:31,628 Speaker 11: I know Elie Davis can do it, but can he 610 00:24:31,748 --> 00:24:34,748 Speaker 11: carry the load. I know Deuce Vaughn is coming in, 611 00:24:35,148 --> 00:24:38,188 Speaker 11: but can they shoulder the load between the two of them. 612 00:24:38,308 --> 00:24:40,668 Speaker 11: I think you have to have someone like an Ezekiel 613 00:24:40,708 --> 00:24:44,148 Speaker 11: Elliott back there to buy them enough time to get 614 00:24:44,188 --> 00:24:46,508 Speaker 11: Tony part of Paulo back healthy and back went to 615 00:24:46,588 --> 00:24:47,388 Speaker 11: the football field. 616 00:24:47,788 --> 00:24:49,028 Speaker 4: And this is such an honor. 617 00:24:49,068 --> 00:24:51,468 Speaker 3: It's the first time I've ever been able to chat 618 00:24:51,508 --> 00:24:53,708 Speaker 3: with you, listen to you speak to our show. I 619 00:24:53,748 --> 00:25:01,108 Speaker 3: grew up in Minnesota. Infamously, I was a walker trade 620 00:25:01,188 --> 00:25:03,948 Speaker 3: on the personal walker trade that allowed you to go 621 00:25:04,028 --> 00:25:08,428 Speaker 3: to the Cowboys. So I have been classically taught to say, oh, 622 00:25:08,588 --> 00:25:10,188 Speaker 3: I'm at Smith the one that got away, but I 623 00:25:10,188 --> 00:25:12,228 Speaker 3: will let that one go to ask you the following question. 624 00:25:12,308 --> 00:25:14,428 Speaker 3: So it's really cool to talk to you today, Emett. 625 00:25:14,668 --> 00:25:16,988 Speaker 3: We talked earlier about the two running backs that went 626 00:25:16,988 --> 00:25:19,188 Speaker 3: in the top twelve, and there's a lot of weight 627 00:25:19,268 --> 00:25:21,548 Speaker 3: to carry and get your carries now because they're going 628 00:25:21,588 --> 00:25:23,588 Speaker 3: to use you get to your second contract. How would 629 00:25:23,628 --> 00:25:26,228 Speaker 3: you recommend to running backs today to have the kind 630 00:25:26,268 --> 00:25:29,748 Speaker 3: of longevity and ability to dominate year after year the 631 00:25:29,788 --> 00:25:31,068 Speaker 3: way you did it your position? 632 00:25:31,228 --> 00:25:32,668 Speaker 4: How would you spin it forward to. 633 00:25:32,588 --> 00:25:35,068 Speaker 3: Today's game and tell these running backs to carry themselves 634 00:25:35,108 --> 00:25:36,068 Speaker 3: and handle themselves. 635 00:25:36,188 --> 00:25:40,108 Speaker 11: You know, I think people don't understand the work that's 636 00:25:40,188 --> 00:25:44,268 Speaker 11: required to not only be a consistent running back, but 637 00:25:44,348 --> 00:25:47,268 Speaker 11: to be on a football field and to prepare yourself 638 00:25:47,308 --> 00:25:50,228 Speaker 11: for In this case, we're talking about seventeen gay. 639 00:25:49,948 --> 00:25:53,228 Speaker 7: Regular season schedule, but also postseason, and so. 640 00:25:53,988 --> 00:25:57,788 Speaker 11: Preparation and taking care of my body when I was 641 00:25:57,828 --> 00:26:02,068 Speaker 11: away from the facility was paramount for me. And I 642 00:26:02,108 --> 00:26:05,388 Speaker 11: think running backs has to understand and those things, and 643 00:26:05,388 --> 00:26:05,988 Speaker 11: not only. 644 00:26:05,788 --> 00:26:08,508 Speaker 7: That, but how to prepare. 645 00:26:08,108 --> 00:26:10,708 Speaker 11: Their body for what it's about to go for. And 646 00:26:10,788 --> 00:26:14,908 Speaker 11: it changes over time. Your body changes over time. So 647 00:26:14,988 --> 00:26:17,508 Speaker 11: you have to judge your workouts. I see what Derek 648 00:26:17,588 --> 00:26:22,028 Speaker 11: Henry is doing. They're doing a lot of core stability, 649 00:26:22,108 --> 00:26:25,588 Speaker 11: a lot of smaller muscle stability. I see what happened 650 00:26:25,668 --> 00:26:28,148 Speaker 11: Camaro is doing with the balance balls and all those 651 00:26:28,188 --> 00:26:28,828 Speaker 11: kinds of things. 652 00:26:29,028 --> 00:26:33,588 Speaker 7: To me, those are things that are positioning you to. 653 00:26:33,588 --> 00:26:37,788 Speaker 11: Be physically ready and mentally ready for an upcoming season. 654 00:26:37,908 --> 00:26:41,948 Speaker 7: But injuries do come, and when they do come, how. 655 00:26:41,788 --> 00:26:43,908 Speaker 11: You deal with those injuries and what you put in 656 00:26:43,908 --> 00:26:46,628 Speaker 11: your body to have to your self recover is part 657 00:26:46,748 --> 00:26:50,228 Speaker 11: of the taking care of the machine that's taking care 658 00:26:50,228 --> 00:26:50,548 Speaker 11: of you. 659 00:26:50,828 --> 00:26:53,588 Speaker 7: And I think younger players need to understand what that means. 660 00:26:53,628 --> 00:26:57,268 Speaker 11: That means proper sleep, eating, proper eating right, putting things 661 00:26:57,268 --> 00:26:59,188 Speaker 11: in your body that you definitely need to have in 662 00:26:59,228 --> 00:27:01,508 Speaker 11: your body to keep it few the way it needs 663 00:27:01,548 --> 00:27:02,308 Speaker 11: to be fuel. 664 00:27:02,228 --> 00:27:07,788 Speaker 7: And that includes vitamins itself. But how you prepare yourself. 665 00:27:07,548 --> 00:27:10,108 Speaker 11: How you train, when you train, how long you train, 666 00:27:10,468 --> 00:27:13,708 Speaker 11: and what you're training for and what you're utilizing a 667 00:27:13,908 --> 00:27:16,228 Speaker 11: methods that I used to use, and I learned those 668 00:27:16,268 --> 00:27:20,108 Speaker 11: things through Walter Payton, spending time with him, understanding his 669 00:27:20,188 --> 00:27:24,348 Speaker 11: workout regiment, understanding his recovery regiment working out seeing Michael 670 00:27:24,348 --> 00:27:27,748 Speaker 11: Irving work harder than anybody I've ever seen, and understanding 671 00:27:27,788 --> 00:27:31,228 Speaker 11: what that meant, and started to developing my own workout 672 00:27:31,268 --> 00:27:34,748 Speaker 11: regiments within everything that the league and the team wanted 673 00:27:34,788 --> 00:27:35,108 Speaker 11: me to do. 674 00:27:35,268 --> 00:27:36,948 Speaker 7: Today's society is different. 675 00:27:37,148 --> 00:27:40,628 Speaker 11: These kids are going out getting specialized training from someone 676 00:27:40,668 --> 00:27:43,668 Speaker 11: that's not necessarily in the organization. We had a strength 677 00:27:43,748 --> 00:27:46,468 Speaker 11: conditioning coaches. Some of these guys are doing things on 678 00:27:46,508 --> 00:27:49,348 Speaker 11: their own. Kudos to them as long as they're coming 679 00:27:49,388 --> 00:27:51,588 Speaker 11: back in great shape. And I think coming in to 680 00:27:51,708 --> 00:27:54,628 Speaker 11: the training camp in great shape is important. Don't come 681 00:27:54,668 --> 00:27:57,148 Speaker 11: in a training camp to get in shape, come in 682 00:27:57,268 --> 00:28:00,228 Speaker 11: already in shape. And I think that's the difference that 683 00:28:00,308 --> 00:28:02,748 Speaker 11: I would see and say to any running back. 684 00:28:02,788 --> 00:28:04,868 Speaker 7: Run now. It's easier to get in shape. It's easier 685 00:28:04,908 --> 00:28:06,268 Speaker 7: to stay in shape than it is to get in 686 00:28:06,348 --> 00:28:07,748 Speaker 7: shame shape. Yep. Yeah. 687 00:28:07,908 --> 00:28:10,028 Speaker 5: The other difference is if you separate your shoulder in 688 00:28:10,028 --> 00:28:12,028 Speaker 5: the game, some people are just willing to play through it. 689 00:28:12,068 --> 00:28:14,628 Speaker 2: And that's right, godly amount. 690 00:28:14,908 --> 00:28:17,908 Speaker 7: That's what you're called, that's what you call mint. 691 00:28:18,868 --> 00:28:21,548 Speaker 1: We love it, Emmett, we love you, we Lovedahila, we 692 00:28:21,668 --> 00:28:23,908 Speaker 1: loved us. Oh you know it is, as they say, 693 00:28:24,028 --> 00:28:26,788 Speaker 1: eighteen three hundred and fifty five reasons why this guy's 694 00:28:26,788 --> 00:28:27,508 Speaker 1: an all time great. 695 00:28:27,548 --> 00:28:28,828 Speaker 7: Thank you, Emmetts. 696 00:28:40,428 --> 00:28:44,988 Speaker 3: Good morning football, it's happening. Sign for a segment that 697 00:28:45,028 --> 00:28:47,708 Speaker 3: we call spring Fling, where we take a dosy doll 698 00:28:47,748 --> 00:28:50,348 Speaker 3: around the dance floor with a division every day, and 699 00:28:50,388 --> 00:28:53,388 Speaker 3: today it is the AFC West. We are going to 700 00:28:53,428 --> 00:28:55,708 Speaker 3: evaluate how those teams did in the twenty twenty three 701 00:28:55,788 --> 00:28:57,668 Speaker 3: NFL Draft. Mike, why don't you kick us off and 702 00:28:57,708 --> 00:28:58,948 Speaker 3: tell us what team you picked. 703 00:28:59,308 --> 00:29:02,228 Speaker 5: I picked the Las Vegas Raiders. Let's take a look 704 00:29:02,268 --> 00:29:04,228 Speaker 5: at their draft, and I want to start right at 705 00:29:04,228 --> 00:29:08,228 Speaker 5: the up. Tyree Wilson. Now the seventh overall pick. That 706 00:29:08,348 --> 00:29:11,228 Speaker 5: number is probably lower. It's definitely lower if not for 707 00:29:11,348 --> 00:29:13,668 Speaker 5: some concerns about his foot. Now, the Raiders said, we 708 00:29:13,668 --> 00:29:15,148 Speaker 5: had him in on a visit, we checked out all 709 00:29:15,148 --> 00:29:17,828 Speaker 5: the medical We were completely comfortable with it. Tyree Wilson 710 00:29:17,908 --> 00:29:19,868 Speaker 5: right here, the Raider's comfortable with the medicals there, and 711 00:29:19,908 --> 00:29:21,828 Speaker 5: they said, you know what, we're taking them, and you 712 00:29:21,828 --> 00:29:24,948 Speaker 5: know what. Patrick Mahomes, fellow Texas tech guy, Let's pop 713 00:29:25,028 --> 00:29:28,708 Speaker 5: up this tweet from him. He said, Hey, buddy, take 714 00:29:28,748 --> 00:29:30,468 Speaker 5: it easy on me there it is take it easy 715 00:29:30,468 --> 00:29:33,388 Speaker 5: on me, big dog, Tyree Wilson. Congrats though that maybe 716 00:29:33,388 --> 00:29:36,108 Speaker 5: that's just a little rope of dope, or perhaps Patrick 717 00:29:36,148 --> 00:29:38,308 Speaker 5: Mahomes is a little bit concerned about the potential for 718 00:29:38,388 --> 00:29:39,988 Speaker 5: a pass rusher to be up in his grill. So 719 00:29:40,188 --> 00:29:42,148 Speaker 5: if that's the case, good job Raiders. Moving on to 720 00:29:42,188 --> 00:29:45,228 Speaker 5: the second round. They wind up taking Michael Meyer right there. 721 00:29:45,308 --> 00:29:48,188 Speaker 5: We did a segment on NFL Draft Kickoff before round 722 00:29:48,228 --> 00:29:50,308 Speaker 5: two where we said who are we most surprised is 723 00:29:50,308 --> 00:29:52,188 Speaker 5: still out there? I was most surprised that guy was 724 00:29:52,228 --> 00:29:52,748 Speaker 5: still out there. 725 00:29:52,828 --> 00:29:53,508 Speaker 2: So were the Raiders. 726 00:29:53,508 --> 00:29:55,068 Speaker 5: They had him ranked as one of their top players, 727 00:29:55,068 --> 00:29:58,508 Speaker 5: one of their first round rankings top fifteen, so they 728 00:29:58,508 --> 00:30:01,068 Speaker 5: were very pleased to get Michael Mehra. Daves Ziglier, the 729 00:30:01,068 --> 00:30:03,828 Speaker 5: general manager, saying, Josh McDaniels knows how to use tight ends, 730 00:30:03,868 --> 00:30:05,548 Speaker 5: so that's a good let's go all the way down 731 00:30:05,548 --> 00:30:08,228 Speaker 5: onto here. Ad and O'Connell from Purdue really like this one. 732 00:30:08,668 --> 00:30:11,428 Speaker 5: He doesn't have the most fleetest defeat right and a 733 00:30:11,428 --> 00:30:13,308 Speaker 5: lot of quarterbacks need that right now if you're gonna 734 00:30:13,308 --> 00:30:16,108 Speaker 5: be drafted highly. But his ability to process and get 735 00:30:16,188 --> 00:30:18,628 Speaker 5: rid of the ball quickly. Ziggler said, he went to 736 00:30:18,668 --> 00:30:21,348 Speaker 5: Josh McDaniels said, watch this guy's tape. You're gonna love 737 00:30:21,668 --> 00:30:22,788 Speaker 5: this guy's tape. 738 00:30:22,908 --> 00:30:23,868 Speaker 2: And it makes sense. 739 00:30:23,668 --> 00:30:26,468 Speaker 5: Because he sees things quickly. He released the ball quickly. 740 00:30:26,588 --> 00:30:28,308 Speaker 5: Tom Brady used to do that. And not comparing him 741 00:30:28,308 --> 00:30:30,588 Speaker 5: to Tom Brady, I'm just saying some similar traits. So 742 00:30:30,628 --> 00:30:32,108 Speaker 5: they are very pleased theyn know kind of Lets see 743 00:30:32,108 --> 00:30:33,748 Speaker 5: if they get delop him behind Jimmy Garoppolo. 744 00:30:34,068 --> 00:30:36,428 Speaker 1: All right, well that's the Raiders, very exciting as always, Mike. 745 00:30:36,468 --> 00:30:39,948 Speaker 1: We let's go to a team that's in the playoffs. Okay, 746 00:30:39,988 --> 00:30:43,668 Speaker 1: I'm gonna Los Angeles Chargers. They were sorted in the playoffs, right, 747 00:30:43,668 --> 00:30:45,548 Speaker 1: it was an infamous exit. It really were half the 748 00:30:46,348 --> 00:30:48,588 Speaker 1: tough all right. So justin Herbert, I consider in one 749 00:30:48,628 --> 00:30:50,628 Speaker 1: of these clubs the quarterbacks who got a toy. 750 00:30:50,868 --> 00:30:52,468 Speaker 2: He got a toy. His name was Quinton. 751 00:30:52,268 --> 00:30:54,828 Speaker 1: Johnson with the twenty first overall pick. He has a 752 00:30:54,828 --> 00:30:57,308 Speaker 1: wide receiver, he is fast, he is from TCU. 753 00:30:57,948 --> 00:31:00,388 Speaker 2: His coach Brandon Staley. As we look at this, look 754 00:31:00,388 --> 00:31:02,028 Speaker 2: at these are guys from La so. 755 00:31:03,468 --> 00:31:07,788 Speaker 1: Tooley Pulot from La Quinton Johnston, the guy I just mentioned. 756 00:31:07,988 --> 00:31:10,868 Speaker 1: And then this is Darien Henley from LA as well 757 00:31:10,908 --> 00:31:14,468 Speaker 1: from Washington State. So about Johnston, though, Staley had some 758 00:31:14,508 --> 00:31:17,068 Speaker 1: comments that raised the eyebrows where he said, we consider 759 00:31:17,188 --> 00:31:20,428 Speaker 1: TCU no different than Georgia or Alabama. 760 00:31:20,468 --> 00:31:23,988 Speaker 2: It's one of the top college programs. That's a take, coach, 761 00:31:24,068 --> 00:31:24,668 Speaker 2: it really is. 762 00:31:24,748 --> 00:31:26,948 Speaker 1: Next, give me back to my roster quin Johnson because 763 00:31:26,988 --> 00:31:29,708 Speaker 1: they took him, and they took the quarterback at the end, 764 00:31:29,748 --> 00:31:31,828 Speaker 1: Max doug and the Heisman runner up all the way 765 00:31:31,828 --> 00:31:34,068 Speaker 1: here at the end at two pick two thirty nine. 766 00:31:34,148 --> 00:31:35,948 Speaker 1: You also have a guy named Matt Locke, which is 767 00:31:35,988 --> 00:31:38,548 Speaker 1: really cool. And then you have this guy Darius Davis 768 00:31:38,748 --> 00:31:42,228 Speaker 1: is five punt return touchdowns in college football, meaning who 769 00:31:42,268 --> 00:31:43,468 Speaker 1: knows if he's going to be out there in the 770 00:31:43,468 --> 00:31:45,588 Speaker 1: starting web receiver groups, but he could be a guy 771 00:31:45,588 --> 00:31:47,908 Speaker 1: who will bust a big one for the Chargers as 772 00:31:47,908 --> 00:31:50,668 Speaker 1: they try to light up Sofi Stadium. Herbert gets a toy. 773 00:31:50,788 --> 00:31:52,788 Speaker 1: We get some guys from LA. It's a feel good draft. 774 00:31:52,828 --> 00:31:54,708 Speaker 1: They say TCU is as good as Alabama, And again 775 00:31:54,828 --> 00:31:55,788 Speaker 1: that's a take to LA. 776 00:31:55,868 --> 00:31:57,508 Speaker 4: Horn Froggs, Yeah. 777 00:31:57,388 --> 00:31:59,748 Speaker 8: Ilright, Holm for yes, from one team that did make 778 00:31:59,788 --> 00:32:01,428 Speaker 8: the playoffs, from a team that did. 779 00:32:01,268 --> 00:32:03,868 Speaker 6: Make the playoffs. Don't care a team that won the 780 00:32:03,868 --> 00:32:06,668 Speaker 6: Super Bowl? Why not the Kansas City Chiefs. 781 00:32:06,788 --> 00:32:09,668 Speaker 8: So look at who they drafted and you dk Usama 782 00:32:09,948 --> 00:32:13,068 Speaker 8: first round draft pick, a hometown kid not from LA 783 00:32:13,188 --> 00:32:16,188 Speaker 8: but from Kansas City gets to stay right at home. 784 00:32:16,508 --> 00:32:19,068 Speaker 8: Nick Jones's seventh round draft pick, sent is hidden talent 785 00:32:19,268 --> 00:32:22,948 Speaker 8: as he does impersonations good luck in training camp. Nicknamed 786 00:32:22,988 --> 00:32:25,588 Speaker 8: Snacks for a defensive lineman. I feel like that's a 787 00:32:25,628 --> 00:32:28,268 Speaker 8: pretty good nickname to have. This is probably the most 788 00:32:28,308 --> 00:32:31,268 Speaker 8: interesting prospect on the list for me. He is named 789 00:32:31,308 --> 00:32:34,828 Speaker 8: after a Boys two Men member what jany A Morris 790 00:32:35,028 --> 00:32:37,668 Speaker 8: parents are huge fans he talked. 791 00:32:37,428 --> 00:32:38,468 Speaker 6: About around draft night. 792 00:32:38,668 --> 00:32:40,708 Speaker 8: Now he will be a member of the Kansas City Chiefs. 793 00:32:40,828 --> 00:32:42,308 Speaker 6: I talked about Rashi Rice. 794 00:32:42,468 --> 00:32:44,948 Speaker 8: There's a wide receiver because of another quarterback who got 795 00:32:44,948 --> 00:32:48,188 Speaker 8: a toy as well. He gets drafted and he worked 796 00:32:48,188 --> 00:32:51,628 Speaker 8: out with Mahomes in Dallas. Mahomes gives him a call. 797 00:32:51,828 --> 00:32:52,828 Speaker 8: He's answering the phone line. 798 00:32:52,868 --> 00:32:53,708 Speaker 2: What's up, Pat, what's up? 799 00:32:53,748 --> 00:32:54,148 Speaker 6: What you need? 800 00:32:54,828 --> 00:32:56,708 Speaker 8: You need me to go work right now? And he's 801 00:32:56,788 --> 00:32:58,828 Speaker 8: ready to go. They were working out in Dallas. So 802 00:32:59,228 --> 00:33:02,028 Speaker 8: Kansas City super Bowl champs just got better in this 803 00:33:02,108 --> 00:33:06,068 Speaker 8: year's NFL draft are Jamie I am lost. 804 00:33:06,148 --> 00:33:08,188 Speaker 3: And I have the Broncos very fitting as the term 805 00:33:08,268 --> 00:33:10,588 Speaker 3: pertains two teams that made the playoffs. Chiefs Sands are 806 00:33:10,588 --> 00:33:11,948 Speaker 3: is happy that I didn't pick them to talk about 807 00:33:11,988 --> 00:33:13,308 Speaker 3: in the spring Folt because they want nothing to do 808 00:33:13,388 --> 00:33:15,628 Speaker 3: with me, and that's cool. Denver Broncos very short list 809 00:33:15,788 --> 00:33:18,228 Speaker 3: because they gave up the house essentially to get Russell 810 00:33:18,228 --> 00:33:20,788 Speaker 3: Wilson there two years ago, so they started. I thought 811 00:33:20,788 --> 00:33:22,268 Speaker 3: it was in the third round. But Marvin Man's a 812 00:33:22,268 --> 00:33:24,748 Speaker 3: second round pick.
