16
00:00:45,600 --> 00:00:51,600
Speaker 1: three hours show. It is time for the lead block. No, welcome, Tom,

17
00:00:51,760 --> 00:00:53,479
Speaker 1: Welcome to the program. Thank you for being here right

18
00:00:53,520 --> 00:00:55,360
Speaker 1: off the top to set the agenda, in the tone

19
00:00:55,360 --> 00:00:57,840
Speaker 1: and give us the headlines. Yesterday, there was a deadline

20
00:00:57,840 --> 00:01:00,440
Speaker 1: at four pm for cutdowns for rosters to fifty three men,

21
00:01:00,480 --> 00:01:02,440
Speaker 1: we got a surprise out of New England. Give us

22
00:01:02,440 --> 00:01:04,160
Speaker 1: the details that we all need to know this morning

23
00:01:04,160 --> 00:01:06,800
Speaker 1: about the release of Cam Newton by the Patriots. Well,

24
00:01:06,840 --> 00:01:10,280
Speaker 1: first of all, k mac Jones won the starting quarterback

25
00:01:10,319 --> 00:01:12,919
Speaker 1: job in New England. He was the better quarterback throughout

26
00:01:12,959 --> 00:01:15,080
Speaker 1: the course of camp and the preseason. He was the

27
00:01:15,120 --> 00:01:18,400
Speaker 1: more consistent quarterback. He really impressed the Patriots on a

28
00:01:18,520 --> 00:01:21,600
Speaker 1: daily basis. One thing that has always made Bill Belichick

29
00:01:21,640 --> 00:01:24,840
Speaker 1: great is he is willing to adjust his plan do

30
00:01:24,959 --> 00:01:27,120
Speaker 1: what is best for the team. In this case, it

31
00:01:27,240 --> 00:01:30,200
Speaker 1: is starting a rookie quarterback who, in talking to coaches

32
00:01:30,200 --> 00:01:33,319
Speaker 1: and scouts prior to this year's draft, was probably the

33
00:01:33,360 --> 00:01:36,360
Speaker 1: most ready to start in Week one of any of

34
00:01:36,400 --> 00:01:39,640
Speaker 1: those quarterbacks. So it'll be Mac under center September twelfth

35
00:01:39,680 --> 00:01:42,800
Speaker 1: against the Dolphins. So what's next now for Cam Newton?

36
00:01:42,880 --> 00:01:45,720
Speaker 1: There wasn't much of a market for him back in

37
00:01:45,840 --> 00:01:48,520
Speaker 1: March when he resigned on a one year, five point

38
00:01:48,520 --> 00:01:51,800
Speaker 1: five million dollars deal with the Patriots. That is backup

39
00:01:51,920 --> 00:01:55,360
Speaker 1: quarterback type of money. Now, Cam is thirty two years

40
00:01:55,360 --> 00:01:58,400
Speaker 1: old at this point. He of course has a big personality,

41
00:01:58,520 --> 00:02:01,560
Speaker 1: a unique play style. He's also, as we now know

42
00:02:01,640 --> 00:02:05,240
Speaker 1: based on him missing time last week not fully vaccinated,

43
00:02:05,560 --> 00:02:08,799
Speaker 1: that generally is not the profile that NFL teams are

44
00:02:08,880 --> 00:02:11,880
Speaker 1: looking for in a backup quarterback. And because Cam has

45
00:02:11,880 --> 00:02:14,360
Speaker 1: made it so much money in his career, and because

46
00:02:14,400 --> 00:02:17,240
Speaker 1: he has offsets in his Patriots contract, if he's signed

47
00:02:17,320 --> 00:02:20,040
Speaker 1: right now on a minimum type deal to be somebody's backup,

48
00:02:20,200 --> 00:02:23,680
Speaker 1: he would in essence be working for free. The better

49
00:02:23,720 --> 00:02:27,040
Speaker 1: option for Cam at this point maybe to wait see

50
00:02:27,080 --> 00:02:29,440
Speaker 1: if there's an injury somewhere down the line, and then

51
00:02:29,480 --> 00:02:34,000
Speaker 1: maybe Superman flies into save the day. Okay, Tom, thank

52
00:02:34,040 --> 00:02:36,480
Speaker 1: you so much for being here, invaluable information set in

53
00:02:36,480 --> 00:02:38,760
Speaker 1: the tone here on a Wednesday, appreciate you'll talk to

54
00:02:38,800 --> 00:02:40,800
Speaker 1: you throughout the three hours here on Good Morning Football

55
00:02:40,960 --> 00:02:43,519
Speaker 1: and of course leading into kickoff which is eight days away.

56
00:02:43,639 --> 00:02:45,360
Speaker 1: Huge move, I bil ball check in the front office.

57
00:02:45,360 --> 00:02:47,240
Speaker 1: A lot of ins and outs as my earring pops

58
00:02:47,280 --> 00:02:48,800
Speaker 1: out of my ear and rules on the floor. What

59
00:02:48,800 --> 00:02:53,280
Speaker 1: do we make of the Patriots were releasing Cam Newton tricks. Yeah,

60
00:02:53,320 --> 00:02:55,360
Speaker 1: there are a lot of memes and a lot of jokes. Yes,

61
00:02:55,400 --> 00:02:56,640
Speaker 1: it was a tough day in New England, and it

62
00:02:56,680 --> 00:02:58,919
Speaker 1: was because a lot of the players really like Cam Newton,

63
00:02:58,960 --> 00:03:01,000
Speaker 1: and a lot of the coaches really like Cam Newton,

64
00:03:01,000 --> 00:03:03,320
Speaker 1: and I think Bill Belichick really likes Cam Newton too.

65
00:03:04,120 --> 00:03:07,200
Speaker 1: But Tom Pellicero nailed it. Mac Jones won this job outright,

66
00:03:07,280 --> 00:03:09,160
Speaker 1: and he won this job outright, and then it was

67
00:03:09,240 --> 00:03:11,160
Speaker 1: what do we do with Cam? Do we put him

68
00:03:11,200 --> 00:03:13,400
Speaker 1: as our backup? And it's an eleven year veteran who's

69
00:03:13,400 --> 00:03:15,280
Speaker 1: won an MP who's never been a backup in his life,

70
00:03:15,520 --> 00:03:18,400
Speaker 1: now hovering in the locker room as this big, larger

71
00:03:18,400 --> 00:03:20,960
Speaker 1: than life presence than a lot of the players absolutely love.

72
00:03:21,360 --> 00:03:23,200
Speaker 1: Or do we just give the reins to Mac Jones

73
00:03:23,200 --> 00:03:25,399
Speaker 1: and say let's go with the guy who won the job.

74
00:03:25,520 --> 00:03:29,200
Speaker 1: They chose the ladder. I don't think this decision was

75
00:03:29,240 --> 00:03:32,680
Speaker 1: directly because of the vaccination status, which has been mentioned.

76
00:03:32,720 --> 00:03:35,080
Speaker 1: I think this was more it was Max's job or

77
00:03:35,200 --> 00:03:37,000
Speaker 1: giving Mac the role and we're gonna put it all

78
00:03:37,000 --> 00:03:39,240
Speaker 1: on his play in year one, and Belichick's the rare

79
00:03:39,280 --> 00:03:41,440
Speaker 1: coach I think in the NFL, who will not be

80
00:03:41,520 --> 00:03:44,360
Speaker 1: second guests? The team was gonna go with that vibe

81
00:03:44,480 --> 00:03:45,640
Speaker 1: and the rest of them are going to get in

82
00:03:45,680 --> 00:03:47,920
Speaker 1: line and they're gonna rock. Now if you say, well, wait,

83
00:03:48,280 --> 00:03:51,920
Speaker 1: I can't play pretty good, like from what we saw.

84
00:03:52,440 --> 00:03:54,760
Speaker 1: Everyone says it out of the Mac won this job,

85
00:03:54,800 --> 00:03:57,080
Speaker 1: and it wasn't really that much of a debate. This

86
00:03:57,080 --> 00:03:59,800
Speaker 1: guy had an unbelievable preseason, has all the stats, has

87
00:03:59,800 --> 00:04:01,400
Speaker 1: every thing, and you say, all right, well the numbers

88
00:04:01,400 --> 00:04:05,000
Speaker 1: add up to truth. The matter is Cam Newton situation

89
00:04:05,400 --> 00:04:07,840
Speaker 1: is a whole other deal for the Patriots. It was

90
00:04:07,920 --> 00:04:10,400
Speaker 1: Mac Jones. He won the job outright, and they couldn't

91
00:04:10,440 --> 00:04:11,960
Speaker 1: have Cam Newton there. They didn't want to have Cam

92
00:04:12,000 --> 00:04:14,400
Speaker 1: Newton there just being in the building and now hovering

93
00:04:14,440 --> 00:04:16,200
Speaker 1: as a presence when they're trying to give the reins

94
00:04:16,440 --> 00:04:19,200
Speaker 1: to a first year quarterback, something Belichick has never done

95
00:04:19,520 --> 00:04:21,600
Speaker 1: in his NFL career. Just said, hey, rookie, day one,

96
00:04:21,720 --> 00:04:24,520
Speaker 1: you're starting. Yeah, Mac was good. Mac was really good.

97
00:04:24,600 --> 00:04:26,720
Speaker 1: Tom said it. You said that the Mac won the job.

98
00:04:26,760 --> 00:04:28,960
Speaker 1: I think Cam blew it. I do how much of

99
00:04:29,000 --> 00:04:32,320
Speaker 1: what Mac did in that final preseason game was about

100
00:04:32,360 --> 00:04:34,280
Speaker 1: that stretch of practice that Cam missed and that Mac

101
00:04:34,400 --> 00:04:38,440
Speaker 1: run with the Ones. Is Cam Newton starting quarterback right now?

102
00:04:38,480 --> 00:04:40,360
Speaker 1: Is he still a Patriot if he's vaccinated? And that's

103
00:04:40,360 --> 00:04:42,000
Speaker 1: not a political thing to say. It's a practical thing.

104
00:04:42,000 --> 00:04:43,520
Speaker 1: It's the elephant in the room. I also want to

105
00:04:43,520 --> 00:04:47,520
Speaker 1: bring up Cam's Instagram he posted afterwards after yesterdayyone reacted

106
00:04:47,520 --> 00:04:49,360
Speaker 1: to the news and he's got their ransom note font

107
00:04:49,400 --> 00:04:52,040
Speaker 1: and everything. I really appreciate the love and support him

108
00:04:52,080 --> 00:04:54,719
Speaker 1: my time. Please don't feel sorry for me. I'm good.

109
00:04:55,880 --> 00:04:58,880
Speaker 1: Who's feeling sorry for Cam? Like you may like him

110
00:04:58,880 --> 00:05:01,440
Speaker 1: as a player. This is a big sport and I

111
00:05:01,440 --> 00:05:03,719
Speaker 1: don't know. I feel sorry for players who get injured.

112
00:05:03,760 --> 00:05:06,200
Speaker 1: I feel sorry for players who get character assassinated. I

113
00:05:06,200 --> 00:05:08,279
Speaker 1: don't have the bandwidth for someone who I think lost

114
00:05:08,279 --> 00:05:10,240
Speaker 1: his job because he chose not to get vaccinated. It's

115
00:05:10,240 --> 00:05:12,720
Speaker 1: his personal choice, but it's a really practical matter at

116
00:05:12,720 --> 00:05:15,160
Speaker 1: this point. Also, I think it was a shock yesterday

117
00:05:15,200 --> 00:05:17,839
Speaker 1: because oh my god, it's the Patriots and it's Cam Newton,

118
00:05:17,880 --> 00:05:20,400
Speaker 1: and these are huge entities and they decided to cut him.

119
00:05:20,920 --> 00:05:22,960
Speaker 1: If you really look at the facts, a player who

120
00:05:22,960 --> 00:05:25,920
Speaker 1: played a really poorly last year was let go from

121
00:05:25,960 --> 00:05:28,200
Speaker 1: a team that had a bad season last year, a

122
00:05:28,240 --> 00:05:30,719
Speaker 1: guy who's been deteriorating for five years and they brought

123
00:05:30,760 --> 00:05:32,640
Speaker 1: in a new player in his position. Is it even

124
00:05:32,680 --> 00:05:35,919
Speaker 1: that shocking? I don't know. I have a lot of

125
00:05:35,920 --> 00:05:37,800
Speaker 1: issues with the choices that he made, and I know

126
00:05:37,839 --> 00:05:40,320
Speaker 1: that's a personal decision and everything like that, but look,

127
00:05:40,400 --> 00:05:43,040
Speaker 1: you want to go back to college. There's always something

128
00:05:43,040 --> 00:05:46,680
Speaker 1: with Cam. Always there's something dramatic, something off the field.

129
00:05:46,800 --> 00:05:48,680
Speaker 1: Some of it's his fault, some of it's not. He

130
00:05:48,800 --> 00:05:50,800
Speaker 1: chose to do this. He messed up big time at

131
00:05:50,800 --> 00:05:53,200
Speaker 1: a critical position in which they drafted a first round quarterback.

132
00:05:53,200 --> 00:05:55,880
Speaker 1: And Belichick said, Bam, last year our season was derailed

133
00:05:55,920 --> 00:05:58,160
Speaker 1: by COVID. We're not messing around with any bs this year.

134
00:05:58,279 --> 00:05:59,960
Speaker 1: And see you later, and I hope you catch on.

135
00:06:00,720 --> 00:06:05,080
Speaker 1: But are you worried about if mac Jones struggles, if

136
00:06:05,400 --> 00:06:09,839
Speaker 1: mac Jones gets injured? You know, it's so many other variables. Yes,

137
00:06:09,880 --> 00:06:13,080
Speaker 1: he had a really good preseason, but it's the preseason.

138
00:06:13,600 --> 00:06:17,360
Speaker 1: Ain't nobody's scheming, nobody gained plan, and you're supposed to

139
00:06:17,400 --> 00:06:20,839
Speaker 1: go out there and throw strikes. That's what you're supposed

140
00:06:20,839 --> 00:06:23,440
Speaker 1: to do. It's like glorify seven on seven, except you

141
00:06:23,480 --> 00:06:26,360
Speaker 1: have a pass rush. And so to me, this is

142
00:06:26,400 --> 00:06:29,560
Speaker 1: the most Bill Belichick thing that I think you know

143
00:06:30,240 --> 00:06:33,520
Speaker 1: he would do because he doesn't want the distraction. He

144
00:06:33,560 --> 00:06:36,240
Speaker 1: does understand that Cam. To your point, Peter, he is

145
00:06:36,240 --> 00:06:39,400
Speaker 1: a huge personality. It's guy's in that locker room that

146
00:06:39,520 --> 00:06:47,200
Speaker 1: probably it picksides the moment they drafted guys exactly love Cam,

147
00:06:47,279 --> 00:06:50,760
Speaker 1: idolize Cam. Cam was a He's like Alan Iris and

148
00:06:50,839 --> 00:06:56,120
Speaker 1: Michael Jordan. It was a culture thing with probably to them,

149
00:06:56,120 --> 00:06:58,160
Speaker 1: don't feel sorry for me, don't feel bad. Maybe he's

150
00:06:58,160 --> 00:07:00,240
Speaker 1: talking to guys in the locker room, this guy that

151
00:07:00,320 --> 00:07:04,400
Speaker 1: legitimately route for Cam. And so, yes, I felt like

152
00:07:05,520 --> 00:07:09,320
Speaker 1: Mac Jones was the better player for this football team,

153
00:07:09,440 --> 00:07:11,800
Speaker 1: but I still thought there was value for Cam Newton

154
00:07:12,040 --> 00:07:15,000
Speaker 1: instead of just leaving him or cutting him. I understand

155
00:07:15,000 --> 00:07:18,520
Speaker 1: the distraction side of things, but I mean, you know,

156
00:07:19,360 --> 00:07:23,200
Speaker 1: he didn't play great, but man just using him and

157
00:07:23,480 --> 00:07:26,200
Speaker 1: some of those quarterback runs. Bill Belichick is the ultimate

158
00:07:26,240 --> 00:07:29,840
Speaker 1: guy who tries to scheme other teams, you know, for

159
00:07:29,920 --> 00:07:33,480
Speaker 1: the success of his own football team. And when you're

160
00:07:33,480 --> 00:07:35,280
Speaker 1: down there on the red zone and you can just

161
00:07:35,360 --> 00:07:38,360
Speaker 1: incorporate your quarterback into the run. You bring eleven guys

162
00:07:38,400 --> 00:07:40,640
Speaker 1: to the party, you make them play without the middle

163
00:07:40,640 --> 00:07:42,840
Speaker 1: field safety, you make them defend you just a little

164
00:07:42,880 --> 00:07:45,320
Speaker 1: bit differently. And so for a coach who loves to

165
00:07:45,360 --> 00:07:48,320
Speaker 1: dictate what the other team does. I just think Cam

166
00:07:48,400 --> 00:07:52,600
Speaker 1: was a weapon that they no longer will have. Tot'angelo's point,

167
00:07:52,640 --> 00:07:55,640
Speaker 1: he had twelve rushing touchdowns last year. He had fifty

168
00:07:55,680 --> 00:07:58,560
Speaker 1: two rushing first downs last year, and they ran them

169
00:07:58,640 --> 00:08:00,960
Speaker 1: all one hundred and sixty times with him. Now you

170
00:08:01,000 --> 00:08:03,680
Speaker 1: could say, well, they got Romandre Stevenson. Now we've got

171
00:08:03,680 --> 00:08:06,920
Speaker 1: a healthy Damien Harris. But like the passing numbers are

172
00:08:06,920 --> 00:08:09,040
Speaker 1: one thing we can do that, like he is a

173
00:08:09,160 --> 00:08:12,280
Speaker 1: goal line and short yardage threat at the very least.

174
00:08:12,880 --> 00:08:14,560
Speaker 1: Is that fair to Cam though, and say hey, you're

175
00:08:14,560 --> 00:08:17,800
Speaker 1: our short package. It's probably not probably not fair to

176
00:08:17,880 --> 00:08:19,920
Speaker 1: Cam at all. And I mean I totally get it.

177
00:08:20,160 --> 00:08:22,400
Speaker 1: I get it having a guy like that in your

178
00:08:22,400 --> 00:08:25,640
Speaker 1: locker room who he probably feels like, I'm the dude

179
00:08:25,680 --> 00:08:28,440
Speaker 1: you know You're probably probably walks around like that. I'm

180
00:08:28,480 --> 00:08:31,520
Speaker 1: sure you gotta get that type of personality out of

181
00:08:31,520 --> 00:08:35,240
Speaker 1: the building, just to give Mac Jones every opportunity to

182
00:08:35,280 --> 00:08:38,200
Speaker 1: be successful, to let him know this is your football team.

183
00:08:38,240 --> 00:08:40,880
Speaker 1: Don't worry about making a mistake because I can guarantee

184
00:08:40,920 --> 00:08:43,240
Speaker 1: if Cam is on that roster, I can make arguments

185
00:08:43,240 --> 00:08:46,440
Speaker 1: for why he should be. But I understand if he's

186
00:08:46,440 --> 00:08:49,160
Speaker 1: on that roster. I know myself personally, I'm looking over

187
00:08:49,240 --> 00:08:52,240
Speaker 1: Mac Jones and shown stop the coach. He ain't like

188
00:08:52,240 --> 00:08:56,280
Speaker 1: when that ball was a coach. I mean, come on,

189
00:08:56,400 --> 00:08:58,880
Speaker 1: we all want to play at play, can't. No one's

190
00:08:58,920 --> 00:09:04,120
Speaker 1: gonna be No one's gonna be happy being the backup, right,

191
00:09:04,120 --> 00:09:07,240
Speaker 1: Everyone's always fighting to be that starter. And so let's

192
00:09:07,240 --> 00:09:09,120
Speaker 1: just let's give Cam some credit with how great he's

193
00:09:09,120 --> 00:09:12,240
Speaker 1: been through the preseason and training camp. And I don't

194
00:09:12,280 --> 00:09:13,840
Speaker 1: get the feeling that he walked around the I mean,

195
00:09:13,880 --> 00:09:15,640
Speaker 1: obviously he wanted to be the starter, but he was

196
00:09:15,679 --> 00:09:18,400
Speaker 1: so complimentary and really took mapp to bones under his wing,

197
00:09:19,080 --> 00:09:21,280
Speaker 1: said that he admired him or that he was inspiring

198
00:09:21,320 --> 00:09:23,439
Speaker 1: to him, one of those words he actually used in

199
00:09:23,520 --> 00:09:26,280
Speaker 1: talking about a guy who's there going to take his job. So, like,

200
00:09:26,720 --> 00:09:29,640
Speaker 1: I do think I like how Cama handled this. But now, yeah,

201
00:09:29,880 --> 00:09:31,680
Speaker 1: you have the living question do they go back to

202
00:09:31,720 --> 00:09:34,000
Speaker 1: Cam now if he struggles? It doesn't matter that there's

203
00:09:34,040 --> 00:09:36,200
Speaker 1: something freeing about that. You have to love this from

204
00:09:36,200 --> 00:09:38,959
Speaker 1: Mac Jones, it's his team struggles or not. Yeah, and

205
00:09:39,040 --> 00:09:41,240
Speaker 1: Bounte saying, look, we're gonna be fine around the red zone.

206
00:09:41,240 --> 00:09:42,840
Speaker 1: Don't worry about how the goal line. We got line.

207
00:09:42,880 --> 00:09:45,400
Speaker 1: We got million running backs. Like the number that jumps

208
00:09:45,400 --> 00:09:47,120
Speaker 1: out to me is that the twelve rushing touchdowns, the

209
00:09:47,160 --> 00:09:49,520
Speaker 1: eight passing touchdownds. I mean, I think it was time.

210
00:09:49,559 --> 00:09:52,000
Speaker 1: And now as far as Cam's future, I don't know.

211
00:09:52,320 --> 00:09:55,480
Speaker 1: Just remember last year he sat around for months, no

212
00:09:55,520 --> 00:09:58,240
Speaker 1: one wanted him, and then he signs us really cheap

213
00:09:58,320 --> 00:10:01,400
Speaker 1: contract for the Patriots, and that before any sort of

214
00:10:01,480 --> 00:10:04,920
Speaker 1: vaccine type of stuff, So that this might be the end,

215
00:10:04,960 --> 00:10:07,040
Speaker 1: and I hope it's not. Cam's a great figure in

216
00:10:07,080 --> 00:10:09,080
Speaker 1: the league. He's fun to watch. I don't know. The

217
00:10:09,080 --> 00:10:11,160
Speaker 1: teams are like, oh, yes, yes, Cam, I don't see

218
00:10:11,200 --> 00:10:13,400
Speaker 1: it right now. I don't at Jim if with your thoughts.

219
00:10:13,400 --> 00:10:15,360
Speaker 1: We're going to wrap that conversation here and we officially

220
00:10:15,400 --> 00:10:17,800
Speaker 1: have a couple of weekling starters in Philly and New Orleans.

221
00:10:17,840 --> 00:10:20,160
Speaker 1: Which quarterback I love the biggest wake up call come

222
00:10:20,200 --> 00:10:24,360
Speaker 1: week one. We'll break it down next. Welcome back to

223
00:10:24,360 --> 00:10:26,600
Speaker 1: Good Morning Football. Time for today's wake up call presenter,

224
00:10:26,640 --> 00:10:28,439
Speaker 1: I've a rise, and we start in Philadelphia. We're head

225
00:10:28,440 --> 00:10:31,200
Speaker 1: coach Nick Sirianni's finally announced to starting quarterback for the

226
00:10:31,200 --> 00:10:35,680
Speaker 1: twenty twenty one season. Take a look. Jalen's our starter

227
00:10:35,880 --> 00:10:38,760
Speaker 1: and really that and he's done a great job. We

228
00:10:38,800 --> 00:10:41,960
Speaker 1: wanted him to take advantage of the opportunity and take

229
00:10:42,000 --> 00:10:44,280
Speaker 1: the reins of with the advantage of the opportunity that

230
00:10:44,320 --> 00:10:47,320
Speaker 1: he got, and we feel like the preseason that he

231
00:10:47,400 --> 00:10:50,520
Speaker 1: had he did that. I consistently saw a player that

232
00:10:50,559 --> 00:10:53,440
Speaker 1: got better every single day. I consistently saw a player

233
00:10:53,559 --> 00:10:55,840
Speaker 1: make the make the read, you know, getting better with

234
00:10:55,920 --> 00:10:58,480
Speaker 1: his reads and his accuracy and his an ability to

235
00:10:58,640 --> 00:11:01,760
Speaker 1: run and when not to run, you know. Um and

236
00:11:01,800 --> 00:11:07,600
Speaker 1: so um, he did exactly what we wanted him to do. Um. Again, nobody,

237
00:11:07,760 --> 00:11:09,800
Speaker 1: nobody else has worked with the one. So you could

238
00:11:10,160 --> 00:11:11,880
Speaker 1: you could really argue that we named the starter a

239
00:11:11,880 --> 00:11:15,080
Speaker 1: while ago, but uh, you know, Jaylon will be our

240
00:11:15,120 --> 00:11:17,880
Speaker 1: starter and he's earned that right um with a great

241
00:11:17,920 --> 00:11:20,280
Speaker 1: preseason and we got a lot of confidence in him

242
00:11:20,480 --> 00:11:24,320
Speaker 1: and in that room. In general, wakeup calls looked at

243
00:11:24,360 --> 00:11:26,200
Speaker 1: as a bad thing. It is it can be a

244
00:11:26,200 --> 00:11:28,760
Speaker 1: positive thing, And it can be a positive thing when

245
00:11:28,800 --> 00:11:31,439
Speaker 1: you're having a nightmare and you get to wake up

246
00:11:31,480 --> 00:11:34,080
Speaker 1: from it and the birds are singing, and I think

247
00:11:34,080 --> 00:11:37,440
Speaker 1: that's gonna be Sam Donald's wake up call. Oh my gosh,

248
00:11:37,480 --> 00:11:40,120
Speaker 1: this is the football League, this is the NFL. I

249
00:11:40,160 --> 00:11:43,360
Speaker 1: get to throw to McCaffrey and my guy Robbie and

250
00:11:43,440 --> 00:11:47,200
Speaker 1: this rookie terrorist and I'm not on the Jets anymore. Yes,

251
00:11:47,480 --> 00:11:51,640
Speaker 1: it's beautiful. That's gonna be him, Sam Donald versus the Jets.

252
00:11:51,679 --> 00:11:54,600
Speaker 1: I'm very excited for that one, um. And I think

253
00:11:54,640 --> 00:11:56,720
Speaker 1: this is of all the Week one slate, I think

254
00:11:56,720 --> 00:11:58,520
Speaker 1: this one is gonna be an absolute blowout. I think

255
00:11:58,559 --> 00:12:00,840
Speaker 1: the Panthers are gonna kill the Jets. I do. I

256
00:12:00,840 --> 00:12:03,560
Speaker 1: think I'm gonna beat them by like fourteen, and Sam

257
00:12:03,600 --> 00:12:05,520
Speaker 1: Donald's gonna be I do. One of the stories of

258
00:12:05,559 --> 00:12:08,080
Speaker 1: Monday Morning is gonna be Sam Donald against his old team,

259
00:12:08,120 --> 00:12:09,720
Speaker 1: and I think he's gonna let it rip. And I

260
00:12:09,720 --> 00:12:11,360
Speaker 1: think the Matt Rural thing is gonna be fun. And

261
00:12:11,360 --> 00:12:13,040
Speaker 1: I think the Jets are gonna be spinning and we'll

262
00:12:13,120 --> 00:12:15,720
Speaker 1: run all these clips. Say what you want about Sam

263
00:12:15,760 --> 00:12:18,280
Speaker 1: Donald's time with the Jets. Had a really strange time.

264
00:12:18,559 --> 00:12:21,640
Speaker 1: The mono, the ghosts and Gaze and it was all

265
00:12:21,679 --> 00:12:24,160
Speaker 1: so much promise. I think he is going to open

266
00:12:24,240 --> 00:12:25,839
Speaker 1: up a can on the Jets. Week one, and it's

267
00:12:25,880 --> 00:12:28,120
Speaker 1: going to get shirt with all the names that go

268
00:12:28,240 --> 00:12:30,160
Speaker 1: down like where it's like, you know, Jail and Juan

269
00:12:30,320 --> 00:12:34,600
Speaker 1: and Mono, Ghosts, Gaze, yes, bug, guys, all that stuff.

270
00:12:34,720 --> 00:12:37,120
Speaker 1: I think it's gonna be Sam a good wake up call.

271
00:12:37,240 --> 00:12:39,400
Speaker 1: There's all kinds of him though, D'Angelo is there. Someone's

272
00:12:39,400 --> 00:12:41,720
Speaker 1: gonna get a bad one. Oh, yes, my guy's gonna

273
00:12:41,760 --> 00:12:45,120
Speaker 1: get a bad wake No, and it's it's Jared Golf. Okay,

274
00:12:45,559 --> 00:12:48,679
Speaker 1: here we go here, Jared Golf say, hey, why not us? Hey, Jared,

275
00:12:48,800 --> 00:12:51,720
Speaker 1: let me tell you why not? You guys? Okay, okay,

276
00:12:51,800 --> 00:12:53,760
Speaker 1: let me tell you why not? You haven't ran the

277
00:12:53,800 --> 00:12:57,720
Speaker 1: football successfully in a long time. Last year thirtieth. Okay,

278
00:12:57,800 --> 00:13:00,319
Speaker 1: you bring in Anthony Lynn. I love Anthony and he

279
00:13:00,400 --> 00:13:02,599
Speaker 1: wants to try to run the football, but I just

280
00:13:02,720 --> 00:13:05,080
Speaker 1: don't know if you'll be able to. You've always kind

281
00:13:05,080 --> 00:13:08,839
Speaker 1: of had that ring game to have your back. You're

282
00:13:08,880 --> 00:13:10,760
Speaker 1: not gonna really have that in Detroit. I know you

283
00:13:10,800 --> 00:13:12,599
Speaker 1: guys are gonna try to, but you know, for me,

284
00:13:12,840 --> 00:13:19,480
Speaker 1: Jared Goff, the Rams were good despite Jared Goff. It

285
00:13:19,600 --> 00:13:21,679
Speaker 1: was so many times I saw a play out to

286
00:13:21,720 --> 00:13:25,559
Speaker 1: play that he he just wouldn't settle for what was

287
00:13:25,840 --> 00:13:28,720
Speaker 1: wide open. He tried to force throws and I think

288
00:13:28,760 --> 00:13:31,240
Speaker 1: a lot of that. You know, I say wake up call,

289
00:13:31,280 --> 00:13:34,720
Speaker 1: because he's gonna get He's not gonna see Aaron Donald

290
00:13:34,800 --> 00:13:37,959
Speaker 1: on his defense. He's not gonna have Jalen Ramsey and

291
00:13:38,080 --> 00:13:39,880
Speaker 1: these guys to get the football back. Or he can

292
00:13:39,960 --> 00:13:43,199
Speaker 1: make a mistake, make a mistake in Detroit, you're down seven,

293
00:13:43,480 --> 00:13:46,360
Speaker 1: you make another mistake, you down fourteen. Before you know it,

294
00:13:46,960 --> 00:13:49,600
Speaker 1: You're trying to figure out, Man, can I really play

295
00:13:49,640 --> 00:13:51,719
Speaker 1: in this league? And so to me, it's gonna be

296
00:13:51,760 --> 00:13:55,319
Speaker 1: intertend to see kind of what transpires in Detroit. And

297
00:13:55,400 --> 00:13:59,600
Speaker 1: I'm not even mentioning the opponent, the opponent to San Francisco,

298
00:13:59,679 --> 00:14:05,480
Speaker 1: for they they come into play and I can okay, Um,

299
00:14:06,679 --> 00:14:08,560
Speaker 1: I'm with the edge alot. This is gonna be brutal.

300
00:14:08,640 --> 00:14:09,959
Speaker 1: He just ran golf out the league. I think he

301
00:14:10,040 --> 00:14:12,040
Speaker 1: just ran golf out the league. And I want my

302
00:14:12,200 --> 00:14:14,480
Speaker 1: I want my I want my swings. Didn't Peter, I'm

303
00:14:14,520 --> 00:14:17,880
Speaker 1: not picking on Lions fans, So I'm ninons faith the

304
00:14:17,880 --> 00:14:19,720
Speaker 1: Hawaiian Blue. I thought you're about to take up for

305
00:14:19,840 --> 00:14:25,040
Speaker 1: it that Niners defensive line against that Lions offense. Good look,

306
00:14:25,120 --> 00:14:26,800
Speaker 1: we talked about the Buccaneers so much on the show.

307
00:14:26,840 --> 00:14:29,120
Speaker 1: We forget that the Buccaneers were like the forty nine

308
00:14:29,200 --> 00:14:31,680
Speaker 1: ers were two years ago. And d Ford has been

309
00:14:31,720 --> 00:14:36,000
Speaker 1: outstanding this summer. Outstanding, so Arms said, we haven't seen

310
00:14:36,120 --> 00:14:37,920
Speaker 1: much of books Kin Laws now in his second year.

311
00:14:38,240 --> 00:14:40,560
Speaker 1: Fred Warner just got the big contract. Drake Greenlaw is

312
00:14:40,600 --> 00:14:43,600
Speaker 1: a third year player like that is going up against

313
00:14:43,720 --> 00:14:45,880
Speaker 1: a Lions offense that I couldn't tell you who's the

314
00:14:45,960 --> 00:14:47,840
Speaker 1: number one wide receiver. I couldn't tell you who's the

315
00:14:47,920 --> 00:14:50,720
Speaker 1: number one running back outside of rag Now, I don't

316
00:14:50,720 --> 00:14:53,120
Speaker 1: know who on that offensive line can stop anyone. This

317
00:14:53,640 --> 00:14:56,880
Speaker 1: look at D'Angel i very often, I'm like, now, come on, relax,

318
00:14:56,960 --> 00:14:59,160
Speaker 1: let's be no. I think this might be really, really

319
00:14:59,240 --> 00:15:01,280
Speaker 1: ugly in week one. I think San Frantisco might run

320
00:15:01,320 --> 00:15:04,080
Speaker 1: them out of the Did you two decide this separately

321
00:15:04,080 --> 00:15:05,720
Speaker 1: and not know it that you guys are both gonna

322
00:15:05,720 --> 00:15:10,520
Speaker 1: go Jared Golf that's pretty fascinating. Of all the quarterbacks,

323
00:15:10,600 --> 00:15:12,880
Speaker 1: you guys left thirty on the table, and it's unbelievable.

324
00:15:13,040 --> 00:15:16,800
Speaker 1: It's so so negative. But no, it's true wack matchup.

325
00:15:16,880 --> 00:15:18,520
Speaker 1: But when you watched the two, you know, when I

326
00:15:18,600 --> 00:15:20,520
Speaker 1: was looking at the list of teams and options that

327
00:15:20,560 --> 00:15:23,320
Speaker 1: I hate to choose. I mean I didn't want to

328
00:15:23,360 --> 00:15:25,480
Speaker 1: pick Jared Golf because I got some friends on that

329
00:15:25,600 --> 00:15:27,960
Speaker 1: coaching staff, right, yeah, everything. I'm rooting for them. I

330
00:15:28,040 --> 00:15:30,280
Speaker 1: mean I really am. But when I was looking and

331
00:15:30,360 --> 00:15:32,360
Speaker 1: I was just like, oh, can I tell you, I

332
00:15:32,680 --> 00:15:35,840
Speaker 1: think I just feel bad Lions over Niners. I love

333
00:15:35,920 --> 00:15:39,120
Speaker 1: that one week one is crazy, unpredictable. Wildly, I'm gonna

334
00:15:40,000 --> 00:15:43,480
Speaker 1: coaches for real. I think I might give a good

335
00:15:43,560 --> 00:15:45,400
Speaker 1: good yeah, and like, we don't know what we're getting

336
00:15:45,400 --> 00:15:46,960
Speaker 1: from from Campell. We don't know what we're getting from

337
00:15:46,960 --> 00:15:48,440
Speaker 1: all those coaches. We don't know we're getting from Golf.

338
00:15:48,520 --> 00:15:51,360
Speaker 1: We know the Niers like seeing bos. We know we're

339
00:15:51,360 --> 00:15:56,000
Speaker 1: getting said hopefully, it's so funny we stuck to two games.

340
00:15:56,040 --> 00:15:58,560
Speaker 1: I looked at the other side of your matchup. I

341
00:15:58,600 --> 00:16:00,440
Speaker 1: think it's gonna be a wake up call for Zach

342
00:16:00,480 --> 00:16:03,600
Speaker 1: Wilson because I just feel for the kid. I don't

343
00:16:03,600 --> 00:16:06,160
Speaker 1: have super high expectations. I think the Panthers defense is

344
00:16:06,200 --> 00:16:07,960
Speaker 1: why the Panthers win this game. I can't speak for

345
00:16:08,040 --> 00:16:10,680
Speaker 1: Sam Donald's the company, but I just feel for him

346
00:16:10,720 --> 00:16:13,760
Speaker 1: with the morning papers and the radio the next day

347
00:16:14,080 --> 00:16:18,000
Speaker 1: if Sam Donald somehow outshines him, or if he is

348
00:16:18,040 --> 00:16:21,000
Speaker 1: a rookie up against a good defensive team in the Panthers,

349
00:16:21,040 --> 00:16:23,600
Speaker 1: like what that looks like the next day for the

350
00:16:23,720 --> 00:16:25,680
Speaker 1: Benny for from Ho Hocuses. I know you know what

351
00:16:25,720 --> 00:16:27,880
Speaker 1: I'm saying. Oh yeah, the drafts folders are full with

352
00:16:27,920 --> 00:16:30,520
Speaker 1: those headlines they've been working on. Yeah, what's it. It's

353
00:16:30,520 --> 00:16:33,800
Speaker 1: gonna be like Donald versus Wilson aman Amano. I don't know,

354
00:16:35,440 --> 00:16:40,800
Speaker 1: I have them already written. I uncle Sam. Yeah, Oh boy,

355
00:16:41,160 --> 00:16:44,520
Speaker 1: will Selva's hanging out on the West Coast in his garage,

356
00:16:44,800 --> 00:16:47,080
Speaker 1: just kicking it, chilling. Eight days away from the start

357
00:16:47,080 --> 00:16:49,120
Speaker 1: of the season, giving us the news. There was obviously

358
00:16:49,120 --> 00:16:52,720
Speaker 1: a lot of chatter about yesterday and roster cutdown day

359
00:16:52,800 --> 00:16:56,680
Speaker 1: around the league, but also the devastation from Hurricane Ioda

360
00:16:56,840 --> 00:17:01,400
Speaker 1: also first and foremost on everybody's mind as well, the

361
00:17:01,600 --> 00:17:06,480
Speaker 1: Saints practicing in Dallas again Tuesday, and head coach Sean

362
00:17:06,560 --> 00:17:09,320
Speaker 1: Payton saying the team maybe forced out in New Orleans

363
00:17:09,359 --> 00:17:12,200
Speaker 1: for a month. This means the Saints Week one game

364
00:17:12,359 --> 00:17:16,240
Speaker 1: against Packers would move out of the Superdome. The league

365
00:17:16,280 --> 00:17:20,359
Speaker 1: says it's monitoring the situation, but Payton believes his team

366
00:17:20,640 --> 00:17:25,480
Speaker 1: is pulling together in spite of all the uncertainty. It

367
00:17:25,640 --> 00:17:27,960
Speaker 1: does bring a group of people together. You know, you're

368
00:17:28,000 --> 00:17:30,560
Speaker 1: trying to give him information, make the best of a

369
00:17:30,680 --> 00:17:34,040
Speaker 1: situation like this, and you're getting a chance to meet

370
00:17:34,119 --> 00:17:37,320
Speaker 1: family members and children that maybe you never normally would meet,

371
00:17:37,480 --> 00:17:40,399
Speaker 1: either player to player or coach to player or you know,

372
00:17:40,520 --> 00:17:42,399
Speaker 1: I mean, you see a lot of these people at games,

373
00:17:42,480 --> 00:17:45,359
Speaker 1: but you know, collectively you don't see as many like

374
00:17:45,520 --> 00:17:48,439
Speaker 1: you do in this unique environment. And then moving forward,

375
00:17:48,720 --> 00:17:50,680
Speaker 1: a lot of it will be dependent on you know,

376
00:17:50,760 --> 00:17:53,320
Speaker 1: when when is the city ready to receive you know,

377
00:17:53,440 --> 00:17:55,760
Speaker 1: people to come back, when the power back up? When

378
00:17:55,840 --> 00:17:58,119
Speaker 1: when are all the things up and running again at

379
00:17:58,200 --> 00:18:00,639
Speaker 1: least for people to return. And don't know the answer

380
00:18:00,640 --> 00:18:06,399
Speaker 1: to that yet, I mean. Well. In other news, the

381
00:18:06,560 --> 00:18:10,480
Speaker 1: Cardinals placing cornerback Malcolm Butler on the reserve retired list

382
00:18:10,520 --> 00:18:13,840
Speaker 1: as he decides his future. Butler's signing a one year,

383
00:18:13,920 --> 00:18:16,639
Speaker 1: three point two five million dollars deal with Arizona this

384
00:18:16,760 --> 00:18:19,840
Speaker 1: offseason and was expected to be a starter, but a

385
00:18:19,920 --> 00:18:25,280
Speaker 1: personal situation has him considering retirement and speaking of the

386
00:18:25,400 --> 00:18:29,560
Speaker 1: Cardinals pass rusher Chandler Jones future in Arizona beyond this

387
00:18:29,720 --> 00:18:33,000
Speaker 1: season up in the air. Jones seeking a new contract

388
00:18:33,080 --> 00:18:36,400
Speaker 1: that apparently ready to play anyway. That coach Cliff Kingsbury

389
00:18:36,560 --> 00:18:39,440
Speaker 1: saying of Jones quote, he definitely has a chip on

390
00:18:39,520 --> 00:18:41,760
Speaker 1: his shoulder, there's no doubt. But he is who he

391
00:18:41,920 --> 00:18:44,520
Speaker 1: is and he's true to himself. You can't hide the

392
00:18:44,600 --> 00:18:47,600
Speaker 1: type of enthusiasm and joy he has a day in

393
00:18:47,880 --> 00:18:51,080
Speaker 1: and day out, and when healthy, Jones has proven he's

394
00:18:51,119 --> 00:18:54,240
Speaker 1: one of the best pass rushers in the NFL, leading

395
00:18:54,280 --> 00:18:57,639
Speaker 1: the league in sacks with nineteen and twenty nineteen. So

396
00:18:57,840 --> 00:19:00,520
Speaker 1: kay and guys, he's one of many players around the

397
00:19:00,640 --> 00:19:04,520
Speaker 1: league with something to prove in their contract year. I'm

398
00:19:04,560 --> 00:19:07,080
Speaker 1: a big Chandler Jones fan. Thanks for bringing him up

399
00:19:07,119 --> 00:19:09,080
Speaker 1: and we'll talk about him. Of course, you mentioned his

400
00:19:09,119 --> 00:19:11,720
Speaker 1: stacks from twenty nineteen. From twenty fifteen to twenty nineteen,

401
00:19:11,760 --> 00:19:14,399
Speaker 1: he had seventy two and a half stacks. That is

402
00:19:14,480 --> 00:19:17,560
Speaker 1: ten more than Aaron Donald, who's the next guy on

403
00:19:17,760 --> 00:19:20,960
Speaker 1: that list. This is someone who we heard requested a trade.

404
00:19:21,160 --> 00:19:24,159
Speaker 1: There's a trade request from Chandler Jones's offseason, so he

405
00:19:24,320 --> 00:19:26,200
Speaker 1: definitely has a chip on his shoulder. I feel like

406
00:19:26,240 --> 00:19:28,159
Speaker 1: we never bring him up, We never talk about him

407
00:19:28,160 --> 00:19:30,040
Speaker 1: being one of these bast he mismosts of last season.

408
00:19:30,359 --> 00:19:33,560
Speaker 1: So waiting for his pay day, I still think and

409
00:19:33,640 --> 00:19:35,800
Speaker 1: I hope that he commands a monster deal after he

410
00:19:35,880 --> 00:19:38,240
Speaker 1: shows out this year. So, speaking of contract years are

411
00:19:38,280 --> 00:19:40,399
Speaker 1: so important, we always look at them and circle the

412
00:19:40,440 --> 00:19:43,080
Speaker 1: guys who are playing for something this year. Chris Godwin

413
00:19:43,320 --> 00:19:46,919
Speaker 1: not paid yet. Tyron Matthew saw him on the sidelines

414
00:19:47,000 --> 00:19:49,320
Speaker 1: this past week. Definitely wants to get paid as well.

415
00:19:49,400 --> 00:19:54,359
Speaker 1: Stefan Gilmour, Alan Robinson, Jujus Schuster. Which player entering the

416
00:19:54,400 --> 00:19:56,680
Speaker 1: contract year? Maybe these guys, maybe somebody else do you

417
00:19:56,720 --> 00:19:59,800
Speaker 1: think has the biggest chip on their shoulder. I'm curious

418
00:19:59,840 --> 00:20:02,639
Speaker 1: by Juju? Right, So with Juju, everyone thought was going

419
00:20:02,720 --> 00:20:04,600
Speaker 1: to get a monster free agent deal. He tests the

420
00:20:04,680 --> 00:20:07,160
Speaker 1: waters and there were no takers. It wasn't the number

421
00:20:07,200 --> 00:20:09,960
Speaker 1: that he wanted, and eventually goes back to Pittsburgh on

422
00:20:10,080 --> 00:20:11,480
Speaker 1: this table between his legs, but goes back with to

423
00:20:11,560 --> 00:20:13,480
Speaker 1: Pittsburgh because there was a Kansas City offer, there was

424
00:20:13,520 --> 00:20:15,200
Speaker 1: a Pittsburgh offer. He's like, I'm gonna go there and

425
00:20:15,280 --> 00:20:17,520
Speaker 1: signs a one year deal. It's almost like, let me

426
00:20:17,640 --> 00:20:19,439
Speaker 1: run this back, let me do it again. If there

427
00:20:19,560 --> 00:20:21,520
Speaker 1: was anyone who had doubts, let me show you. But

428
00:20:21,640 --> 00:20:23,720
Speaker 1: the thing with Juju is that I don't think his

429
00:20:24,000 --> 00:20:26,760
Speaker 1: game is what really was a questioned. It's kind of

430
00:20:26,800 --> 00:20:29,760
Speaker 1: like the overall Juju experience. And it's the first thing I,

431
00:20:29,960 --> 00:20:31,680
Speaker 1: you know, I think is all right? Is Juju gonna

432
00:20:31,680 --> 00:20:34,359
Speaker 1: go off social media? Is Juju gonna completely shut it down?

433
00:20:34,480 --> 00:20:36,200
Speaker 1: Is Juju gonna just show that I am a hundred

434
00:20:36,240 --> 00:20:37,840
Speaker 1: catch guy who will take a hit and will block

435
00:20:37,880 --> 00:20:41,200
Speaker 1: with the best of them, like he's done his entire career. No,

436
00:20:41,440 --> 00:20:43,720
Speaker 1: the video we saw was Juju doing the Milk Creek

437
00:20:43,840 --> 00:20:47,080
Speaker 1: Challenge and falling and nearly injuring himself doing it, and

438
00:20:47,160 --> 00:20:49,920
Speaker 1: it's like part of me is like, Juju Juju, like

439
00:20:50,000 --> 00:20:52,720
Speaker 1: do your thing, you know what, Like that's what you

440
00:20:52,800 --> 00:20:55,080
Speaker 1: are with Jujusu juster getting who you are and he

441
00:20:55,280 --> 00:20:57,920
Speaker 1: is his own man, and I almost respect it. And

442
00:20:58,000 --> 00:20:59,920
Speaker 1: I want to see how Juju handles this season because

443
00:21:00,080 --> 00:21:02,320
Speaker 1: last year he was dancing on logos and doing all

444
00:21:02,320 --> 00:21:04,160
Speaker 1: that and it didn't work out for him. Let's see

445
00:21:04,160 --> 00:21:05,800
Speaker 1: if he had justin Chip's courser. He's just like, you

446
00:21:05,880 --> 00:21:07,720
Speaker 1: know what this is me? I am? Who am? Hey?

447
00:21:07,840 --> 00:21:10,480
Speaker 1: He gotta make more plays like my guy. I'm about

448
00:21:10,480 --> 00:21:13,080
Speaker 1: to talk about DeVante Adams and he should have a

449
00:21:13,200 --> 00:21:15,680
Speaker 1: chip just like Chandler Jones should have a chip on

450
00:21:15,760 --> 00:21:19,240
Speaker 1: his shoulder. Because we've proven we're some of the best

451
00:21:19,359 --> 00:21:22,040
Speaker 1: in the league. Why is the money not coming? Every

452
00:21:22,280 --> 00:21:26,000
Speaker 1: NFL player wants that job security. They want to know that. Hey, guys,

453
00:21:26,480 --> 00:21:29,000
Speaker 1: I'm out here putting everything I have on the line

454
00:21:29,040 --> 00:21:32,560
Speaker 1: for this football team. The least you can do, especially

455
00:21:32,640 --> 00:21:34,560
Speaker 1: when I'm a dog and I'm one of the best

456
00:21:34,680 --> 00:21:37,040
Speaker 1: at my position. I mean I can do everything. I

457
00:21:37,160 --> 00:21:41,080
Speaker 1: helped our quarterback win the MVP. Yet you guys still

458
00:21:41,200 --> 00:21:43,800
Speaker 1: haven't paid me like this dude should be you know,

459
00:21:43,960 --> 00:21:46,880
Speaker 1: I heard James Jones ask him at one point doing

460
00:21:46,920 --> 00:21:50,040
Speaker 1: a training camp segment, Well, somebody got paid. I guess

461
00:21:50,359 --> 00:21:54,960
Speaker 1: you're getting twenty million. DeVante said, that's all. The price

462
00:21:55,080 --> 00:21:58,560
Speaker 1: keeps going up the longer you wait, GMS, the price

463
00:21:58,720 --> 00:22:01,000
Speaker 1: keeps going up. The longer you wait, you better hurry

464
00:22:01,040 --> 00:22:02,600
Speaker 1: up and pay that man. You should get paid more

465
00:22:02,640 --> 00:22:06,000
Speaker 1: than DeAndre Hopkins. Don't answer that don't fall, don't fall

466
00:22:06,080 --> 00:22:08,480
Speaker 1: for it. Don't fall for it. Brian good Coin said,

467
00:22:08,520 --> 00:22:13,480
Speaker 1: I slipped right in the right. I'm gonna be a

468
00:22:13,560 --> 00:22:15,359
Speaker 1: little bit mean here and I'm sorry, and I do

469
00:22:15,480 --> 00:22:17,959
Speaker 1: it out of love for Alan Robinson, Chicago Bears. Who

470
00:22:18,080 --> 00:22:19,960
Speaker 1: is the answer here? You want to know the journey

471
00:22:20,000 --> 00:22:22,119
Speaker 1: that this gentleman has been throughout, Let's go to the

472
00:22:22,200 --> 00:22:25,840
Speaker 1: state of Pennsylvania, in which Alan Robinson was in college

473
00:22:25,920 --> 00:22:31,080
Speaker 1: catching the ball from Christian Hackenberg. Christian Hackenberg look second

474
00:22:31,160 --> 00:22:32,960
Speaker 1: round pick of the Jets and never played a snap

475
00:22:33,040 --> 00:22:35,160
Speaker 1: for him. Okay, all right, fine, you had one tough quarterback.

476
00:22:35,320 --> 00:22:37,680
Speaker 1: Then you go to the professional level. Who did he

477
00:22:37,840 --> 00:22:40,720
Speaker 1: play with in the state of Florida? All right, Blake

478
00:22:40,760 --> 00:22:43,720
Speaker 1: Portles has had his struggles in the league, a limited player,

479
00:22:43,840 --> 00:22:46,560
Speaker 1: We respect him. Mitch Trupisky has had his struggles in

480
00:22:46,640 --> 00:22:49,399
Speaker 1: the league. We respect Allen Robinson. All he does is

481
00:22:49,480 --> 00:22:51,600
Speaker 1: dominate with quarterbacks who, let's just say, have had their

482
00:22:51,640 --> 00:22:55,040
Speaker 1: struggles in the league. But guys, at least there's gold

483
00:22:55,080 --> 00:22:56,639
Speaker 1: at the end of the rainbow. And he gets to

484
00:22:56,720 --> 00:22:59,840
Speaker 1: have played with justin field against the Rams on such

485
00:23:00,000 --> 00:23:03,040
Speaker 1: Oh no, it's fourteen, So this is supposed to be

486
00:23:03,119 --> 00:23:06,240
Speaker 1: the gold watch at the end. This is this is

487
00:23:06,280 --> 00:23:08,920
Speaker 1: the payoff. He's gonna play with Andy Damn Dalney's never

488
00:23:09,080 --> 00:23:12,080
Speaker 1: played with a great quarterback. He's on the franchise, dag

489
00:23:12,119 --> 00:23:14,760
Speaker 1: he's the best player on the Bears, and he's playing

490
00:23:14,800 --> 00:23:16,719
Speaker 1: on the tag catching balls from some guy who used

491
00:23:16,720 --> 00:23:18,440
Speaker 1: to play for the Bengals and the Cowboys. And I

492
00:23:18,480 --> 00:23:20,600
Speaker 1: think it's Alan Robs. Don't even think it's close air, Rob.

493
00:23:20,720 --> 00:23:23,879
Speaker 1: We'd feel for you. I feel like you're getting some

494
00:23:24,000 --> 00:23:26,679
Speaker 1: stuff off your chest here on this. It's an on day. Yesterday,

495
00:23:26,720 --> 00:23:28,240
Speaker 1: I took the day off from Justin Fields. I'm on

496
00:23:28,280 --> 00:23:30,320
Speaker 1: a one on one off day and talking about Fields

497
00:23:30,320 --> 00:23:31,960
Speaker 1: todays and on day he's putting you on this program

498
00:23:32,000 --> 00:23:35,359
Speaker 1: a professional sports psychology. My therapist, Yes, my therapist. You

499
00:23:35,400 --> 00:23:37,200
Speaker 1: can't do it every day. Yeah, you're on day and

500
00:23:37,240 --> 00:23:38,800
Speaker 1: off to Day's an on day. Do you have any

501
00:23:38,880 --> 00:23:41,280
Speaker 1: advice or like take me into the life of a

502
00:23:41,359 --> 00:23:44,440
Speaker 1: player in a contract or how they should handle things

503
00:23:44,640 --> 00:23:47,240
Speaker 1: like is it one of those things where you feel

504
00:23:47,280 --> 00:23:49,199
Speaker 1: that pressure week in week out? Does it change how

505
00:23:49,280 --> 00:23:51,879
Speaker 1: you play? Like well? No, being in locker rooms with

506
00:23:51,960 --> 00:23:54,320
Speaker 1: these guys. No, the great ones don't feel the pressure

507
00:23:54,320 --> 00:23:56,480
Speaker 1: because they understand, Look, I know what I can do,

508
00:23:56,720 --> 00:23:58,639
Speaker 1: I know what I'm capable of. And so I can

509
00:23:58,720 --> 00:24:01,159
Speaker 1: remember even being cut by Oakland, right and having that

510
00:24:01,280 --> 00:24:05,440
Speaker 1: half a year to go prove myself, and I didn't

511
00:24:05,440 --> 00:24:07,560
Speaker 1: feel any pressure. I just wanted to go out and

512
00:24:07,680 --> 00:24:10,080
Speaker 1: let every you know, dispel all the rumors that I

513
00:24:10,400 --> 00:24:13,920
Speaker 1: was the problem. You know, it was simply the late

514
00:24:13,960 --> 00:24:16,359
Speaker 1: great Al David said, you were the last person we signed,

515
00:24:16,440 --> 00:24:18,520
Speaker 1: so you're gonna be the first person to go unless

516
00:24:18,560 --> 00:24:20,600
Speaker 1: you take a pay cut. And I'm like, ain't you

517
00:24:20,640 --> 00:24:23,080
Speaker 1: taking no pay cuts? I don't have to cut. You

518
00:24:23,200 --> 00:24:25,320
Speaker 1: had to cut me, And so I left, went on

519
00:24:25,440 --> 00:24:28,600
Speaker 1: to Watchington played the last eight games there and balled out,

520
00:24:28,960 --> 00:24:31,440
Speaker 1: balled out and watching them. But it was because the

521
00:24:31,520 --> 00:24:33,640
Speaker 1: comfort zone I had with myself. So all these guys

522
00:24:33,680 --> 00:24:35,440
Speaker 1: are great players. They're gonna go out and they're gonna

523
00:24:35,440 --> 00:24:38,480
Speaker 1: do what they have to do. It's that injury risk, though, Kay,

524
00:24:39,080 --> 00:24:42,040
Speaker 1: that's the only thing you're worried about, yes, because no

525
00:24:42,160 --> 00:24:45,000
Speaker 1: one wants to be injured going into free agency, right

526
00:24:45,640 --> 00:24:47,760
Speaker 1: or getting that low ball offer from a team when

527
00:24:47,800 --> 00:24:50,360
Speaker 1: you're in the last year that deal. And so that's

528
00:24:50,359 --> 00:24:52,160
Speaker 1: the only thing as a player. That's why they hate

529
00:24:52,200 --> 00:24:54,360
Speaker 1: franchise tax. We always look like, man, he's getting eighteen

530
00:24:54,400 --> 00:24:56,359
Speaker 1: min he's getting twenty five men, he's getting thirty five millions.

531
00:24:56,359 --> 00:24:59,359
Speaker 1: So yeah, one year he has no security, he tears

532
00:24:59,440 --> 00:25:02,480
Speaker 1: that knee or he tears something up that limits him

533
00:25:02,480 --> 00:25:06,120
Speaker 1: from being the player he was. But were you worried

534
00:25:06,119 --> 00:25:08,119
Speaker 1: about this stuffing a distraction for some of these plays?

535
00:25:08,160 --> 00:25:11,240
Speaker 1: Like Allen Robinson about Tyron Matthew, he wants to get paid.

536
00:25:11,320 --> 00:25:13,240
Speaker 1: He's getting to that age where I am I getting

537
00:25:13,280 --> 00:25:14,679
Speaker 1: this deal? Am I getting it from the Chiefs who

538
00:25:14,760 --> 00:25:16,280
Speaker 1: just gave a lot of money to a lot of

539
00:25:16,320 --> 00:25:18,639
Speaker 1: other people? Like do you think it? Does that worry

540
00:25:18,680 --> 00:25:20,800
Speaker 1: you for some of these people? It may be there

541
00:25:20,880 --> 00:25:23,400
Speaker 1: was a weird thing that happened with Kenny Galladay last

542
00:25:23,480 --> 00:25:25,680
Speaker 1: year in which there was a lot of chatter about

543
00:25:25,760 --> 00:25:29,240
Speaker 1: he's like I'm not gonna play, or people insinuating that

544
00:25:29,320 --> 00:25:30,840
Speaker 1: maybe he wasn't as hurt as he thought he was

545
00:25:30,920 --> 00:25:32,040
Speaker 1: because he didn't want to go out there for a

546
00:25:32,080 --> 00:25:34,520
Speaker 1: bad Detroit team. Just the names that we showed though,

547
00:25:34,560 --> 00:25:36,840
Speaker 1: are like made guys. Mostly you know, it's it's it's

548
00:25:37,080 --> 00:25:39,760
Speaker 1: it's Tyron Matthew and Davante and a Rob So I'm

549
00:25:39,800 --> 00:25:41,520
Speaker 1: not concerned about that. I hope they all get a

550
00:25:41,600 --> 00:25:44,159
Speaker 1: billion bucks. And Adams has really handled that well. He's like,

551
00:25:44,320 --> 00:25:46,120
Speaker 1: I'm putting it to the side. I'm not talking about

552
00:25:46,160 --> 00:25:49,080
Speaker 1: it anymore. I'm focused on this season. I would assume

553
00:25:49,119 --> 00:25:51,240
Speaker 1: that that would be the way to handle it. I

554
00:25:51,359 --> 00:25:54,040
Speaker 1: want to bring in our NFL network front office analyst

555
00:25:54,080 --> 00:25:56,720
Speaker 1: and a three time Super Bowl champion, Scott Pola, who

556
00:25:56,800 --> 00:25:59,640
Speaker 1: has plenty more on Jordan. Scott, we want to start

557
00:25:59,720 --> 00:26:02,160
Speaker 1: with the work that you do with the International Player

558
00:26:02,280 --> 00:26:05,320
Speaker 1: Pathaway program with the NFL. Yeah, Peter, I want to

559
00:26:05,359 --> 00:26:08,680
Speaker 1: start with Jordan Mailatta because Jordan now in his fourth season,

560
00:26:08,760 --> 00:26:11,919
Speaker 1: two seasons that he just spent on the practice squad developing,

561
00:26:12,320 --> 00:26:15,040
Speaker 1: and now last year he ends up becoming a starter

562
00:26:15,119 --> 00:26:17,880
Speaker 1: by default because of an injury, and he starts ten

563
00:26:17,960 --> 00:26:20,320
Speaker 1: games and does a really good job again, makes progress,

564
00:26:20,359 --> 00:26:22,920
Speaker 1: begins to develop. We end camp this year not only

565
00:26:23,040 --> 00:26:25,040
Speaker 1: is he on the fifty three man roster, but he's

566
00:26:25,119 --> 00:26:27,800
Speaker 1: going to be the starter at left tackle. And this

567
00:26:28,040 --> 00:26:30,920
Speaker 1: is part of what the International program is about. It's

568
00:26:30,920 --> 00:26:34,040
Speaker 1: about finding talent, finding players, players that not only have

569
00:26:34,119 --> 00:26:36,399
Speaker 1: the skills and the tools, but have the makeup and

570
00:26:36,640 --> 00:26:40,119
Speaker 1: right now, Jordan Mailatta has been coached since twenty eighteen

571
00:26:40,160 --> 00:26:42,480
Speaker 1: by a gentleman by the name of Jeff Stoutland who's

572
00:26:42,480 --> 00:26:45,199
Speaker 1: the offensive coordinator, an offensive line coach who I've known

573
00:26:45,280 --> 00:26:48,879
Speaker 1: Jeff forever and is a tremendous coach. Teaches fundamentals, and

574
00:26:49,119 --> 00:26:52,760
Speaker 1: Jordan has taken to this and done a tremendous job.

575
00:26:52,840 --> 00:26:55,680
Speaker 1: I really think that Jordan has a chance this year

576
00:26:55,760 --> 00:26:58,840
Speaker 1: to be among the top half left tackles in the

577
00:26:59,040 --> 00:27:02,160
Speaker 1: entire national football He's made so much progress and I'm

578
00:27:02,240 --> 00:27:03,960
Speaker 1: really happy for him and really proud of him. I

579
00:27:04,040 --> 00:27:06,040
Speaker 1: tell you what, you guys did a tremendous job of

580
00:27:06,359 --> 00:27:09,080
Speaker 1: linking up with him and understanding that not only was

581
00:27:09,160 --> 00:27:11,879
Speaker 1: it a fun story, but a player who truly had talent.

582
00:27:13,440 --> 00:27:15,480
Speaker 1: It's an incredible journey that he's made. I remember he

583
00:27:15,560 --> 00:27:17,560
Speaker 1: was on set with us in Dallas at the draft

584
00:27:17,680 --> 00:27:19,720
Speaker 1: and we had just finished with Juju Smith Schuster had

585
00:27:19,760 --> 00:27:22,280
Speaker 1: been a guest, and Jordan admittedly didn't know a lot

586
00:27:22,320 --> 00:27:24,399
Speaker 1: of the players, and and we said, see who that is.

587
00:27:24,480 --> 00:27:27,600
Speaker 1: That's Juju. He plays for the Steelers. And my alotta goes,

588
00:27:27,800 --> 00:27:29,800
Speaker 1: you played for the Steelers. We're gonna mess you up,

589
00:27:29,960 --> 00:27:32,159
Speaker 1: and we're a Jordan taking as a man he was.

590
00:27:32,400 --> 00:27:35,080
Speaker 1: He was super intense and eager and now here he

591
00:27:35,240 --> 00:27:38,679
Speaker 1: is starting for the Eagles. So obviously, Scott, we're very

592
00:27:38,720 --> 00:27:41,359
Speaker 1: excited about Jordan Mylott, that's the name we're following. What

593
00:27:41,480 --> 00:27:44,280
Speaker 1: about the other guys on the IPP the participants? Who

594
00:27:44,400 --> 00:27:47,040
Speaker 1: stands out to you other than Jordan the Kyle. The

595
00:27:47,080 --> 00:27:49,480
Speaker 1: guy I'm most excited about this year is sammas Rays.

596
00:27:49,560 --> 00:27:52,680
Speaker 1: We talked about Sammu's earlier this spring because he was

597
00:27:52,840 --> 00:27:56,520
Speaker 1: brought from Chile, came to the United States, played Division

598
00:27:56,560 --> 00:28:00,280
Speaker 1: one basketball again, similar to Jordan, He's never played ball

599
00:28:00,359 --> 00:28:04,119
Speaker 1: prior to coming to America and what he's done in

600
00:28:04,240 --> 00:28:06,720
Speaker 1: such a short time as pretty amazing. I give a

601
00:28:06,800 --> 00:28:08,320
Speaker 1: lot of credit to I want to talk to about

602
00:28:08,320 --> 00:28:10,920
Speaker 1: a couple of people in the International Pathaways Program, Demani

603
00:28:11,000 --> 00:28:12,840
Speaker 1: Leech and Kevin Booth, who were the leaders of the

604
00:28:12,920 --> 00:28:16,280
Speaker 1: International Pathaways Program, and then Will Brightson James Cook who

605
00:28:16,359 --> 00:28:19,480
Speaker 1: do the finding and the development. They brought meat film

606
00:28:19,640 --> 00:28:24,200
Speaker 1: of Samos back in the last fall and we looked

607
00:28:24,200 --> 00:28:26,800
Speaker 1: at him, brought him into the IMG Academy, worked him

608
00:28:26,840 --> 00:28:30,360
Speaker 1: out and what he has done for himself is really incredible. Again,

609
00:28:30,400 --> 00:28:32,560
Speaker 1: he's on the fifty three man roster. He had never

610
00:28:32,640 --> 00:28:36,399
Speaker 1: played football up until when he attended IMG Academy this winter,

611
00:28:36,840 --> 00:28:38,760
Speaker 1: and now he's going to be playing for the Washington

612
00:28:38,800 --> 00:28:41,480
Speaker 1: football team. And Ron Rivera has also said that he's

613
00:28:41,520 --> 00:28:43,920
Speaker 1: possibly one of the most physical and aggressive players on

614
00:28:43,960 --> 00:28:47,160
Speaker 1: the team. They just have to refine things now. Watching

615
00:28:47,200 --> 00:28:49,680
Speaker 1: Sammus this preseason to see the progress that he has made,

616
00:28:49,720 --> 00:28:52,440
Speaker 1: I'm so excited for him, really happy to see what

617
00:28:52,600 --> 00:28:54,320
Speaker 1: he's doing and can't wait to see what he's going

618
00:28:54,360 --> 00:28:57,840
Speaker 1: to do this season. Yes good. I get to see

619
00:28:57,840 --> 00:29:00,480
Speaker 1: Sammus a lot, and you are absolutely right. Would think

620
00:29:00,560 --> 00:29:05,320
Speaker 1: being a former basketball player, catching would be his priority,

621
00:29:05,400 --> 00:29:07,800
Speaker 1: but you're right physical at the point of attack as

622
00:29:07,840 --> 00:29:10,880
Speaker 1: a blocker. One of the biggest moves of cutdown Day

623
00:29:10,920 --> 00:29:13,280
Speaker 1: came from New England, with the Patriots cut quarterback Cam

624
00:29:13,400 --> 00:29:16,800
Speaker 1: Newton and named rookie quarterback Mac Jones the starter. You

625
00:29:16,880 --> 00:29:20,080
Speaker 1: spent some time down with Mack and Alabama, and obviously

626
00:29:20,120 --> 00:29:23,800
Speaker 1: you're close with Coach Belichick and the Patriots organization. What

627
00:29:24,040 --> 00:29:26,200
Speaker 1: was your reaction to both Mac Jones being named the

628
00:29:26,280 --> 00:29:30,760
Speaker 1: starter and new England, saying by to Cam Newton see Hall.

629
00:29:30,800 --> 00:29:32,560
Speaker 1: You know, a month ago, I would have been really

630
00:29:32,640 --> 00:29:36,480
Speaker 1: really surprised. Yesterday, I was only mildly surprised because I

631
00:29:36,480 --> 00:29:38,560
Speaker 1: think if we paid attention to this, which I think

632
00:29:38,600 --> 00:29:41,680
Speaker 1: all of us did, we could see the ascension of

633
00:29:41,920 --> 00:29:45,560
Speaker 1: Mac Jones. We also didn't see Cam go backwards. So

634
00:29:45,880 --> 00:29:49,920
Speaker 1: watching the ascension of Mac, seeing how quickly he was

635
00:29:50,120 --> 00:29:53,440
Speaker 1: putting things together, making the throws, doing all the right

636
00:29:53,560 --> 00:29:56,760
Speaker 1: things on the field, in meetings everywhere that he had to,

637
00:29:57,080 --> 00:29:59,760
Speaker 1: knowing that things are so important to Bill, I really

638
00:30:00,080 --> 00:30:03,080
Speaker 1: wasn't surprised. The other thing that I want to point

639
00:30:03,120 --> 00:30:05,120
Speaker 1: out in this is knowing Bill as well as I do.

640
00:30:05,800 --> 00:30:08,280
Speaker 1: I think that there were conversations that went on in

641
00:30:08,360 --> 00:30:11,520
Speaker 1: that building about treating his veteran quarterback the right way.

642
00:30:12,160 --> 00:30:14,840
Speaker 1: Cam came back at a very reasonable salary this year,

643
00:30:14,920 --> 00:30:17,440
Speaker 1: and again there's a lot of people that have opinions

644
00:30:17,440 --> 00:30:21,120
Speaker 1: about Bill. I know Bill, and Bill does care about

645
00:30:21,240 --> 00:30:24,600
Speaker 1: and respect veterans. It doesn't always work out the best way,

646
00:30:24,840 --> 00:30:27,000
Speaker 1: but I really believe that this is a situation where

647
00:30:27,040 --> 00:30:30,080
Speaker 1: he wanted to show Cam respect because it wasn't going

648
00:30:30,120 --> 00:30:32,080
Speaker 1: to be the best thing for Cam or the team

649
00:30:32,200 --> 00:30:34,920
Speaker 1: if he was the backup quarterback. So Bill made a

650
00:30:35,000 --> 00:30:37,640
Speaker 1: point to release him to give him an opportunity to

651
00:30:37,800 --> 00:30:40,680
Speaker 1: potentially be a starter somewhere else. So to me, there

652
00:30:40,720 --> 00:30:42,760
Speaker 1: are a couple of things in here that did surprise me,

653
00:30:43,040 --> 00:30:45,360
Speaker 1: but then again some other things that didn't surprise me

654
00:30:45,440 --> 00:30:49,760
Speaker 1: at all. Surprise anything surprises you. Scott after twenty six

655
00:30:49,920 --> 00:30:54,080
Speaker 1: years as an NFL general manager, director of player personnel scout,

656
00:30:54,200 --> 00:30:57,600
Speaker 1: it's a long career. Yeah, cheers to that. Now the

657
00:30:57,720 --> 00:31:01,560
Speaker 1: original cutdowns are complete. That deadline was at four eastern yesterday.

658
00:31:02,240 --> 00:31:04,760
Speaker 1: Take me into what's going on inside front offices around

659
00:31:04,760 --> 00:31:08,040
Speaker 1: the league today. I'm fascinated by what general managers can

660
00:31:08,040 --> 00:31:10,280
Speaker 1: do to sort of optimize and try to improve their teams.

661
00:31:10,320 --> 00:31:12,240
Speaker 1: And do you have an example of a time that

662
00:31:12,360 --> 00:31:14,560
Speaker 1: you were able to sort of capitalize on a player

663
00:31:14,600 --> 00:31:18,440
Speaker 1: after cuts were made? Okay, this is chaos this time

664
00:31:18,440 --> 00:31:20,840
Speaker 1: of year because what you're doing is you're getting out

665
00:31:20,880 --> 00:31:23,480
Speaker 1: of the back end releases. You're having to put together

666
00:31:23,560 --> 00:31:26,440
Speaker 1: your practice squad, which now can be sixteen players. You're

667
00:31:26,480 --> 00:31:28,640
Speaker 1: trying to keep players. Other teams are trying to steal

668
00:31:28,680 --> 00:31:31,360
Speaker 1: players to their practice squad. There's so many things from

669
00:31:31,400 --> 00:31:35,120
Speaker 1: a business perspective and a medical perspective that general managers

670
00:31:35,120 --> 00:31:38,000
Speaker 1: are working on. However, this is one of the greatest

671
00:31:38,080 --> 00:31:41,720
Speaker 1: weeks of opportunity from a personnel standpoint, and what I

672
00:31:41,800 --> 00:31:43,880
Speaker 1: mean by that is there are a bunch of players

673
00:31:43,920 --> 00:31:47,400
Speaker 1: that were released yesterday across the league, and just because

674
00:31:47,520 --> 00:31:50,080
Speaker 1: someone might have been the fifty fourth or fifty fifth

675
00:31:50,240 --> 00:31:52,960
Speaker 1: best player for another team and they're out on the street,

676
00:31:53,040 --> 00:31:55,840
Speaker 1: now that player or one of those players might be

677
00:31:56,000 --> 00:31:59,880
Speaker 1: better and say you're forty ninth player. This is an

678
00:32:00,000 --> 00:32:03,360
Speaker 1: opportunity for every team to build and get better on

679
00:32:03,440 --> 00:32:05,959
Speaker 1: their entire roster. One of the things that a lot

680
00:32:06,000 --> 00:32:08,440
Speaker 1: of teams don't pay enough attention to is improving their

681
00:32:08,480 --> 00:32:12,040
Speaker 1: special teams, the speed and the productivity of their special teams.

682
00:32:12,280 --> 00:32:14,479
Speaker 1: This is a great time of year to improve your

683
00:32:14,520 --> 00:32:17,719
Speaker 1: special teams and to improve your depth. So right now,

684
00:32:17,840 --> 00:32:21,160
Speaker 1: general managers are counting on their pro personnel department and

685
00:32:21,280 --> 00:32:25,280
Speaker 1: their college scouting department to bring them names and film

686
00:32:25,400 --> 00:32:28,719
Speaker 1: of players that they may find a way to incrementally

687
00:32:28,760 --> 00:32:33,120
Speaker 1: improve their team by just one player. Okay, one one

688
00:32:33,120 --> 00:32:35,560
Speaker 1: of my favorite stories, this goes back a long time ago,

689
00:32:36,000 --> 00:32:38,240
Speaker 1: but Matt Chatham who's become a bit of a cult

690
00:32:38,360 --> 00:32:41,360
Speaker 1: hero in New England. Was a guy who was released

691
00:32:41,440 --> 00:32:44,640
Speaker 1: by the Rams in two thousand. We had to claim

692
00:32:44,720 --> 00:32:49,080
Speaker 1: Matt and then unfortunately release a player that day, and

693
00:32:49,320 --> 00:32:51,560
Speaker 1: we brought him in and he became a three time

694
00:32:51,640 --> 00:32:54,880
Speaker 1: Super Bowl champ. He became for ten seasons one of

695
00:32:54,960 --> 00:32:57,960
Speaker 1: the top special teams players, not only for the Patriots

696
00:32:58,160 --> 00:33:00,960
Speaker 1: but for the Jets later on. But in the league.

697
00:33:01,200 --> 00:33:04,440
Speaker 1: He was a core player, a core I would call

698
00:33:04,520 --> 00:33:07,200
Speaker 1: him a core chemistry player again, who did a great

699
00:33:07,320 --> 00:33:10,160
Speaker 1: job for us and really shows what can happen during

700
00:33:10,200 --> 00:33:12,960
Speaker 1: this week. Love Matt Chatham got. We love having you

701
00:33:13,000 --> 00:33:15,360
Speaker 1: on those really good insight. Appreciate it. We're definitely gonna

702
00:33:15,360 --> 00:33:17,440
Speaker 1: have you on more throughout the season. We're going to

703
00:33:17,520 --> 00:33:22,080
Speaker 1: take a quick break. We'll be right back. It's fantasy

704
00:33:22,160 --> 00:33:25,160
Speaker 1: draft season. I had a little fantasy drafting one oh

705
00:33:25,200 --> 00:33:27,920
Speaker 1: one session with my friend D'Angelo Hall here. During this

706
00:33:28,000 --> 00:33:32,480
Speaker 1: commercial break, it's time to give out advice. Picks, make scenarios,

707
00:33:32,600 --> 00:33:34,560
Speaker 1: figure out who you want to have on your squad.

708
00:33:34,680 --> 00:33:38,120
Speaker 1: So today we're keeping the advice coming something called the

709
00:33:38,440 --> 00:33:40,680
Speaker 1: pick of Fantasy. Here's how we work. It's a little

710
00:33:40,720 --> 00:33:43,000
Speaker 1: like brow. We're on the clock. You guys are going

711
00:33:43,080 --> 00:33:45,560
Speaker 1: to tee up a fantasy draft scenario. The round, the

712
00:33:45,600 --> 00:33:47,960
Speaker 1: pick who's already off the board and on a roster,

713
00:33:48,160 --> 00:33:51,120
Speaker 1: and the top guys still available. Then will the rest

714
00:33:51,200 --> 00:33:52,920
Speaker 1: of the three of us that aren't teaing up. We're

715
00:33:52,920 --> 00:33:56,120
Speaker 1: going to discuss who should be drafted to make a pick.

716
00:33:56,200 --> 00:33:59,160
Speaker 1: It's a brain trust situation at the breakfast table, Peter.

717
00:34:00,320 --> 00:34:02,080
Speaker 1: For all the NFL general managers who think they have

718
00:34:02,120 --> 00:34:05,720
Speaker 1: it hard with the NFL draftmaking, watch this. Now we're

719
00:34:05,720 --> 00:34:07,880
Speaker 1: gonna show you how it's done. Here's the first scenario.

720
00:34:08,040 --> 00:34:10,040
Speaker 1: You are on the clock, on the clock, second pick,

721
00:34:10,520 --> 00:34:12,680
Speaker 1: fifth round. But let's see who you've already got on

722
00:34:12,800 --> 00:34:14,480
Speaker 1: your team. If I hear of the crew, we've got

723
00:34:14,640 --> 00:34:17,680
Speaker 1: Dalvini took in the second round. We snaked around. You

724
00:34:17,680 --> 00:34:19,919
Speaker 1: got Antonio Gibson. So you got your two starting running backs,

725
00:34:20,040 --> 00:34:22,560
Speaker 1: see that Angela. You got Keenan Allen as your number

726
00:34:22,600 --> 00:34:24,480
Speaker 1: one receiver. You get a third running back, you could

727
00:34:24,520 --> 00:34:27,120
Speaker 1: use it the flex, perhaps Darryl Henderson. Round five, we

728
00:34:27,120 --> 00:34:28,600
Speaker 1: don't have a quarterback, we don't have a tight end,

729
00:34:28,640 --> 00:34:30,800
Speaker 1: we don't have any wide any other wide receivers. Beside

730
00:34:30,880 --> 00:34:34,080
Speaker 1: Keenan's the move Higgins Sanders the top running back on

731
00:34:34,160 --> 00:34:35,520
Speaker 1: your board, or you can go and take the first

732
00:34:35,560 --> 00:34:40,200
Speaker 1: quarterback there. R Jackson sixty seconds on the clock, had

733
00:34:40,520 --> 00:34:42,960
Speaker 1: sickly seconds on the clock. Okay, what do you think

734
00:34:43,080 --> 00:34:45,760
Speaker 1: we're set at running back with running backward loaded? Yes, absolutely,

735
00:34:45,760 --> 00:34:49,239
Speaker 1: I would go, definitely without hesitating, Lamar Jackson, take them run.

736
00:34:49,320 --> 00:34:51,279
Speaker 1: You have an awesome whine up. Oh so much, Jeff

737
00:34:51,320 --> 00:34:54,520
Speaker 1: the quarterback. I was almost thinking running back again, to

738
00:34:54,600 --> 00:34:58,320
Speaker 1: be running back because I just like Miles Sanders, and

739
00:34:58,400 --> 00:34:59,920
Speaker 1: I know you would get a little bit of one.

740
00:35:00,440 --> 00:35:05,080
Speaker 1: Uh fantasy football. Yeah, we need three four running backs

741
00:35:05,120 --> 00:35:06,640
Speaker 1: in the first five picks. I don't know. I like

742
00:35:07,239 --> 00:35:10,680
Speaker 1: Mark Jackson. I'm tempted to take a tight end here

743
00:35:10,760 --> 00:35:12,799
Speaker 1: because you're done with that tops here, You've got three

744
00:35:12,880 --> 00:35:14,640
Speaker 1: great options t J. Habbins, and that could be a

745
00:35:14,760 --> 00:35:17,399
Speaker 1: league winner. But I do think we need a wide

746
00:35:17,440 --> 00:35:20,440
Speaker 1: receiver opposite Keenan Allen, So yes, I would take a

747
00:35:20,520 --> 00:35:22,439
Speaker 1: tight end there, but you still have pits on the board.

748
00:35:22,680 --> 00:35:24,880
Speaker 1: You've still got Mark Andrews, and hopefully it makes it

749
00:35:25,000 --> 00:35:27,120
Speaker 1: through that round and I get whichever one of those

750
00:35:27,200 --> 00:35:29,239
Speaker 1: three tight ends falls to me to take in the

751
00:35:29,320 --> 00:35:32,279
Speaker 1: following round. I think t Higgins is the move here.

752
00:35:32,680 --> 00:35:35,760
Speaker 1: This is a thousand yard wide receiver. Keenan Allen great

753
00:35:35,960 --> 00:35:37,680
Speaker 1: is the upside of their No, I think we need

754
00:35:37,719 --> 00:35:39,640
Speaker 1: a wide receiver because it falls off in a hurry

755
00:35:39,760 --> 00:35:42,600
Speaker 1: after this round at wide receiver, guys, well, I like

756
00:35:43,480 --> 00:35:45,399
Speaker 1: only because I've seen the Jamar Chase preseason. I don't

757
00:35:45,400 --> 00:35:47,239
Speaker 1: know you guys didn't get a pick on in time

758
00:35:47,400 --> 00:35:54,040
Speaker 1: k You now have Joe Nidney at kicker. I think

759
00:35:54,080 --> 00:35:56,520
Speaker 1: see Higgins has a huge second year in Cincinnati. We're

760
00:35:56,560 --> 00:35:59,040
Speaker 1: going with two. All right, We're gonna go to the

761
00:35:59,120 --> 00:36:00,920
Speaker 1: third round, which is I think the most critical round

762
00:36:00,960 --> 00:36:02,960
Speaker 1: of a draft. Did you go first and second round?

763
00:36:03,000 --> 00:36:04,320
Speaker 1: You kind of have it picked. You're ready to have

764
00:36:04,400 --> 00:36:06,600
Speaker 1: a plan. Third round it can go nuts. We're going

765
00:36:06,680 --> 00:36:09,479
Speaker 1: after all the fireworks the first and second fourth pick

766
00:36:09,840 --> 00:36:12,520
Speaker 1: in the third round. Let's see who was already on

767
00:36:12,640 --> 00:36:15,040
Speaker 1: your team. And this hypothetically you already went big on

768
00:36:15,120 --> 00:36:18,640
Speaker 1: running back. So Derrick Henry High doubled down with Clyde.

769
00:36:19,760 --> 00:36:22,440
Speaker 1: Do you have two really promising running backs? What do

770
00:36:22,480 --> 00:36:24,400
Speaker 1: you do with the third pick? Here is who is

771
00:36:24,440 --> 00:36:27,400
Speaker 1: on the board. Terry McLaurin, Old Robs, you can go Mahomes,

772
00:36:27,440 --> 00:36:30,120
Speaker 1: you go Robert Woods, always productive, Ceedee Lamb if you

773
00:36:30,160 --> 00:36:33,919
Speaker 1: want to go crazy upside Kittle, You're rich for him maybe,

774
00:36:34,160 --> 00:36:36,279
Speaker 1: or do you say screw it. I'm gonna be death

775
00:36:36,320 --> 00:36:38,799
Speaker 1: by running back and go David Montgomery in the very

776
00:36:39,400 --> 00:36:43,640
Speaker 1: straight workhorses. Let's get another six day seconds on the clock.

777
00:36:45,040 --> 00:36:47,480
Speaker 1: Mahomes is always tempting. Yeah, no matter where I mean,

778
00:36:47,520 --> 00:36:49,680
Speaker 1: Mahomes will be taken in the first round of most drafts.

779
00:36:49,719 --> 00:36:51,680
Speaker 1: I'm still gonna wait on him. There's so much depth

780
00:36:51,760 --> 00:36:54,160
Speaker 1: later Ryan Tannehill. The difference between him and the number

781
00:36:54,160 --> 00:36:56,320
Speaker 1: one score last year Josh Allen was like four points

782
00:36:56,360 --> 00:36:59,240
Speaker 1: a game when you extrapolated. So I'm out on a quarterback.

783
00:36:59,320 --> 00:37:02,080
Speaker 1: Here we're set it running back shrikes. I'm looking at

784
00:37:02,160 --> 00:37:04,279
Speaker 1: Ceedee Lamb. What do you think are we going? I

785
00:37:04,400 --> 00:37:06,960
Speaker 1: love Lamb, but how could you pass on Patrick Mahomes.

786
00:37:07,880 --> 00:37:10,319
Speaker 1: Here's the thing with Mahomes. He might not statistically make

787
00:37:10,360 --> 00:37:12,880
Speaker 1: sense with the quarters. Like Patrick Mahomes. Every Sunday to

788
00:37:13,280 --> 00:37:17,000
Speaker 1: turn on the TV. There's a lot to like there.

789
00:37:18,160 --> 00:37:20,600
Speaker 1: I'm probably going Terry McLaurin. I'm probably going to receiver,

790
00:37:20,760 --> 00:37:23,560
Speaker 1: just because I see the upside with Ryan Fitzpatrick as

791
00:37:23,640 --> 00:37:26,560
Speaker 1: his quarterback. I mean, dud had a thousand Terry mclorin

792
00:37:26,719 --> 00:37:30,960
Speaker 1: over ced absolutely sell me on that. Absolutely. I told

793
00:37:31,000 --> 00:37:32,839
Speaker 1: you he just had. He had a thousand yards last

794
00:37:32,920 --> 00:37:36,120
Speaker 1: year and Alex Smith didn't throw the football down past

795
00:37:36,200 --> 00:37:38,480
Speaker 1: ten yards down the field, and he played with three

796
00:37:38,560 --> 00:37:41,000
Speaker 1: different quarterbacks. Ceedee Lambs stacked up a thousand yards and

797
00:37:41,000 --> 00:37:43,320
Speaker 1: he didn't even have Jack on the field. I know

798
00:37:43,680 --> 00:37:47,880
Speaker 1: you can sell against last night. Forget about the Marc

799
00:37:48,040 --> 00:37:50,520
Speaker 1: c Lamb to pick us in, pick us in? All right,

800
00:37:51,040 --> 00:37:53,200
Speaker 1: all right, let's try one more. He got the fifth

801
00:37:53,280 --> 00:37:55,640
Speaker 1: pick in the fourth round. Let's see who's already on

802
00:37:55,680 --> 00:38:00,640
Speaker 1: your roster. He got Tyreek Hill DK. You want a Cooper?

803
00:38:00,719 --> 00:38:06,360
Speaker 1: I know good crop available with Miles Gaskins, Josh Jacobs,

804
00:38:06,600 --> 00:38:09,759
Speaker 1: DeAndre Swift, Darryl Henderson. If you're not looking for a

805
00:38:09,840 --> 00:38:12,920
Speaker 1: running back, you can still grab players like Chris Godwin,

806
00:38:13,080 --> 00:38:16,520
Speaker 1: who club Josh Allen. Let's got another sixty seconds on

807
00:38:16,640 --> 00:38:19,520
Speaker 1: the clock. Who are you going with you? Guys? We

808
00:38:19,600 --> 00:38:21,719
Speaker 1: can't take we guys like a running back, right, It's

809
00:38:21,760 --> 00:38:24,759
Speaker 1: gonna be like, can they be slim? Pickings you want.

810
00:38:24,760 --> 00:38:28,040
Speaker 1: You would start with three riders. Them three I don't

811
00:38:28,080 --> 00:38:32,520
Speaker 1: know much about, but I like them three. I'm playing man. No,

812
00:38:32,600 --> 00:38:34,720
Speaker 1: I'm sorry, I'm playing man. What do you think Shigs?

813
00:38:35,239 --> 00:38:37,120
Speaker 1: I gotta go running back? But can I see the

814
00:38:37,200 --> 00:38:40,520
Speaker 1: list again of who's available? Gasking, Swift, Jacobs, Henderson. You

815
00:38:40,560 --> 00:38:42,279
Speaker 1: don't want any of those. I think Josh Jacobs I

816
00:38:42,320 --> 00:38:44,880
Speaker 1: would trust. I would think Josh Jacobs is like a workhorse,

817
00:38:44,960 --> 00:38:47,400
Speaker 1: thousand yard running back. Plug those three wide receivers you

818
00:38:47,520 --> 00:38:49,440
Speaker 1: get great. I'm with you. I want the guy who

819
00:38:49,480 --> 00:38:50,839
Speaker 1: I know he's going to touch the ball like three

820
00:38:50,920 --> 00:38:53,080
Speaker 1: hundred times a game. That is Josh Jacobs. Even with

821
00:38:53,200 --> 00:38:55,000
Speaker 1: Kenyan Drake there, I would have to go with the

822
00:38:55,120 --> 00:38:57,600
Speaker 1: running back in Jacobs is the safest one, which I

823
00:38:57,680 --> 00:38:59,359
Speaker 1: know you're not gonna want to do because you hate

824
00:38:59,360 --> 00:39:01,839
Speaker 1: the safest. It's funny I took Jacobs in my real

825
00:39:01,920 --> 00:39:04,000
Speaker 1: draft because there weren't a lot of other options. Kind

826
00:39:04,000 --> 00:39:06,239
Speaker 1: of like here, listen, they could put Jim Brown on

827
00:39:06,239 --> 00:39:08,399
Speaker 1: the Detroit Lions. I'm not drafting or Lions running back.

828
00:39:08,400 --> 00:39:10,640
Speaker 1: It's just too much scar Tish. I'm not taking Swift Henderson.

829
00:39:10,640 --> 00:39:12,560
Speaker 1: I don't know if he gets the touches were actually

830
00:39:12,600 --> 00:39:14,600
Speaker 1: on the same page here. I would go Jacobs too,

831
00:39:15,000 --> 00:39:16,640
Speaker 1: And I don't have high hopes for the Raiders, so

832
00:39:16,680 --> 00:39:18,040
Speaker 1: I hope they I hope I'm wrong, but I have

833
00:39:18,080 --> 00:39:20,200
Speaker 1: a high hope so we can get double the touchdowns

834
00:39:20,280 --> 00:39:22,840
Speaker 1: goal one guy, Josh Jacobs, the biggest in all Right,

835
00:39:22,960 --> 00:39:25,600
Speaker 1: Josh Jacobs, what have you learned about be good old

836
00:39:25,640 --> 00:39:28,799
Speaker 1: Fantasy football this week that I need to call y'all

837
00:39:28,880 --> 00:39:31,560
Speaker 1: when I do my draft, because yeah, I ought to

838
00:39:31,600 --> 00:39:34,359
Speaker 1: pick Josh Adam personally. Like I said, I'm playing Madden

839
00:39:34,440 --> 00:39:37,360
Speaker 1: over here, so I got to readjust my mindset. DiAngelo

840
00:39:37,440 --> 00:39:40,359
Speaker 1: is legitate. He's in a league with twelve year olds

841
00:39:40,360 --> 00:39:44,000
Speaker 1: who were drafting for the first times, taking during the

842
00:39:44,120 --> 00:39:47,719
Speaker 1: actual brand last place I used to cover Randy mos Yeah,

843
00:39:47,800 --> 00:39:50,520
Speaker 1: cover this, Sorry bad buddy, you're out of here. Gonna

844
00:39:50,600 --> 00:39:53,400
Speaker 1: run the score up on you with Milesagaski. Why did

845
00:39:53,480 --> 00:39:55,440
Speaker 1: we get right? Why did we get wrong? That was fun?

846
00:39:55,600 --> 00:39:58,319
Speaker 1: Let people do that again next week at GMFP will

847
00:39:58,320 --> 00:40:06,719
Speaker 1: be back back to good Morning for I feel great. Yeah,

848
00:40:06,719 --> 00:40:10,120
Speaker 1: you've got Peter Straeger, We've got Kyle Brandt. At GMFP.

849
00:40:10,239 --> 00:40:12,200
Speaker 1: I think we're supposed to be expecting a guest or

850
00:40:12,239 --> 00:40:14,080
Speaker 1: you two are hitting up some two point conversing. And

851
00:40:14,160 --> 00:40:16,200
Speaker 1: over the next week we have eight days until kickoff

852
00:40:16,400 --> 00:40:18,000
Speaker 1: to the regular season. We're gonna have to make those

853
00:40:18,040 --> 00:40:22,400
Speaker 1: division picks, super Bowl winners and the like. Thoughts on that,

854
00:40:22,440 --> 00:40:24,120
Speaker 1: and I lose sleep on it, Like, honestly, I will

855
00:40:24,120 --> 00:40:27,120
Speaker 1: put this morning and I said September first, and everyone's like, ah,

856
00:40:27,200 --> 00:40:28,919
Speaker 1: back to school football, Like I need to make picks,

857
00:40:29,080 --> 00:40:31,040
Speaker 1: and I don't know what I am doing it. It

858
00:40:31,200 --> 00:40:32,960
Speaker 1: is so hard. Only seven teams can make it in

859
00:40:33,000 --> 00:40:35,040
Speaker 1: each conference. Seven, So if you think your team's all

860
00:40:35,080 --> 00:40:37,080
Speaker 1: shoe in, think about the other nine that aren't going

861
00:40:37,120 --> 00:40:38,920
Speaker 1: to make the playoffs. Are you really serious about that?

862
00:40:39,120 --> 00:40:42,359
Speaker 1: I've never made the picks. I don't think I'm going to. Oh,

863
00:40:42,400 --> 00:40:44,919
Speaker 1: you're in, You're in. I'm not in. The five years,

864
00:40:44,960 --> 00:40:47,439
Speaker 1: I've never done a Super Bowl pick. Come on, VP.

865
00:40:47,719 --> 00:40:49,040
Speaker 1: I think it's the most fun show the year. I

866
00:40:49,080 --> 00:40:51,880
Speaker 1: love it. But which the division winners? I can't do.

867
00:40:52,080 --> 00:40:54,719
Speaker 1: What do you mean that's the hardest part. There's only four.

868
00:40:54,760 --> 00:40:57,239
Speaker 1: You pick one, you love it, It's great. Okay, Well

869
00:40:57,239 --> 00:40:58,400
Speaker 1: we're going to be joined by a guy in the

870
00:40:58,480 --> 00:41:01,799
Speaker 1: raven so you try picking anybody but them or I mean,

871
00:41:01,880 --> 00:41:05,840
Speaker 1: that's the hard one. The fairc North is brutal and

872
00:41:06,000 --> 00:41:11,080
Speaker 1: brutal to pick, you know, a division winner, wildcard winners.

873
00:41:11,600 --> 00:41:13,160
Speaker 1: What are you thinking about that one? I don't know.

874
00:41:13,320 --> 00:41:15,680
Speaker 1: Early on in this summer, I was like, it's gonna

875
00:41:15,680 --> 00:41:18,360
Speaker 1: be the Browns. Browns. Then I was like maybe the Steelers,

876
00:41:18,400 --> 00:41:20,319
Speaker 1: and then the Ravens. And the Ravens lose Dobbins. It's

877
00:41:20,440 --> 00:41:23,400
Speaker 1: very hard. We're gonna have Bradley Boseman their star center

878
00:41:23,480 --> 00:41:25,440
Speaker 1: on in a bit and it's like you want to

879
00:41:25,480 --> 00:41:26,799
Speaker 1: look him in the eye and be like, I think

880
00:41:26,840 --> 00:41:28,880
Speaker 1: you guys are the favorites because you went pretty far

881
00:41:28,920 --> 00:41:30,680
Speaker 1: in the playoffs and it and then you think about

882
00:41:30,680 --> 00:41:32,719
Speaker 1: how good the Browns are and how good the Steelers are,

883
00:41:32,840 --> 00:41:34,600
Speaker 1: and it's hard to say it and really feel it

884
00:41:34,640 --> 00:41:37,280
Speaker 1: with one hundred percent confidence. What about you? It's almost

885
00:41:37,360 --> 00:41:40,759
Speaker 1: impossible you talk about confidence and picking that division. I

886
00:41:40,880 --> 00:41:43,120
Speaker 1: mean every day I feel like I changed my mind.

887
00:41:43,840 --> 00:41:46,600
Speaker 1: Who am I going with this this team? With that team? Um,

888
00:41:47,160 --> 00:41:51,319
Speaker 1: but that's a great segue. My Baltimore raven We're now

889
00:41:51,480 --> 00:41:54,960
Speaker 1: joined by six foot five, three hundred and twenty five

890
00:41:55,000 --> 00:41:57,160
Speaker 1: pound force who reigns as the man in the middle

891
00:41:57,160 --> 00:41:59,839
Speaker 1: of Ravens offensive line. And let's not forget he lived

892
00:41:59,880 --> 00:42:04,279
Speaker 1: in in RV during the twenty nineteen NFL season. How

893
00:42:04,320 --> 00:42:06,640
Speaker 1: can you not root for a player like that? Please

894
00:42:06,719 --> 00:42:12,160
Speaker 1: welcome friend of the show, Ravens center Bradley. That's how

895
00:42:12,200 --> 00:42:17,359
Speaker 1: we're doing doing good. Good. We'll talk about that are Oh,

896
00:42:17,400 --> 00:42:19,320
Speaker 1: we're doing great, man, We're doing great. We'll talk a

897
00:42:19,360 --> 00:42:22,160
Speaker 1: little bit about that RV a little bit later. But first,

898
00:42:22,200 --> 00:42:24,360
Speaker 1: as a former NFL player, I know all about the

899
00:42:24,440 --> 00:42:27,960
Speaker 1: phrase next man up. We know about JK Dobbins that injury.

900
00:42:28,040 --> 00:42:32,160
Speaker 1: Yet you running offense has remained among the NFL's best,

901
00:42:32,480 --> 00:42:35,120
Speaker 1: no matter who's in that backfield. How can you explain that?

902
00:42:35,360 --> 00:42:40,120
Speaker 1: And do you believe that the pattern will continue this season? Yeah,

903
00:42:40,200 --> 00:42:41,960
Speaker 1: you know, we're we're all about, you know, continue to

904
00:42:42,000 --> 00:42:44,719
Speaker 1: grow forward. You know, Unfortunately things happening on the football field.

905
00:42:45,120 --> 00:42:47,040
Speaker 1: Unfortunately it was to JK this time, and you know

906
00:42:47,360 --> 00:42:48,880
Speaker 1: we're praying for him, and you know he have a

907
00:42:49,000 --> 00:42:51,800
Speaker 1: speed recovery. But you know, it's next guy up. You

908
00:42:51,840 --> 00:42:54,200
Speaker 1: know Gus. We have Gus, we have Tyson, we have

909
00:42:54,239 --> 00:42:56,000
Speaker 1: a bunch of different guys. They're gonna be able to

910
00:42:56,160 --> 00:42:57,600
Speaker 1: step up to the plate and really be able to

911
00:42:57,680 --> 00:42:59,880
Speaker 1: play this year. Uh, you know, we're just continued to

912
00:43:00,320 --> 00:43:02,600
Speaker 1: build an offensive line, make sure we're creating holes. I know,

913
00:43:02,960 --> 00:43:06,440
Speaker 1: Coach Romans going to continue to develop schemes and make

914
00:43:06,480 --> 00:43:08,279
Speaker 1: sure that we're on the right track to be where

915
00:43:08,280 --> 00:43:12,200
Speaker 1: we need to be. A lot of Ravens fans are wondering,

916
00:43:12,280 --> 00:43:14,640
Speaker 1: not only about the running game, but your offensive line.

917
00:43:14,719 --> 00:43:16,440
Speaker 1: Is this team going to be able to gel without

918
00:43:17,000 --> 00:43:19,120
Speaker 1: the guys that we know? Orlando Browns no longer there,

919
00:43:19,160 --> 00:43:21,160
Speaker 1: There's been some changes, You're at center all these things,

920
00:43:21,520 --> 00:43:23,839
Speaker 1: and yet Dobbins goes down and the name that keeps

921
00:43:23,840 --> 00:43:26,840
Speaker 1: possing popping up as the one you mentioned, Tyson Williams.

922
00:43:26,920 --> 00:43:29,400
Speaker 1: I don't know much about him. Tell me about Tyson

923
00:43:29,480 --> 00:43:31,360
Speaker 1: Williams and tell the audience what they're getting from a

924
00:43:31,400 --> 00:43:34,560
Speaker 1: guy who has zero career carries and zero career yards

925
00:43:34,600 --> 00:43:38,359
Speaker 1: and might be getting a lot of carries this season, right.

926
00:43:38,400 --> 00:43:40,440
Speaker 1: You know, Tyson came in last year, Um, you know,

927
00:43:40,560 --> 00:43:42,279
Speaker 1: came in kind of late to camp, came in and

928
00:43:42,320 --> 00:43:44,480
Speaker 1: balled out right away. I mean he came around right

00:43:50,320 --> 00:43:52,120
Speaker 1: continued to show the things that he needs to show

932
00:43:52,239 --> 00:43:55,320
Speaker 1: on the field in practice, you know, in the scrimmages,

933

944
00:44:27,120 --> 00:44:29,239
Speaker 1: Some divisions are a little bit easier than others. The

00:44:29,360 --> 00:44:32,680
Speaker 1: AFC North is really hard. You guys are really good

Speaker 1: full of really good competitors, great teams. Year in and

950
00:44:44,000 --> 00:44:46,480
Speaker 1: year out especially you know, the last couple of years

951
00:44:46,719 --> 00:44:48,480
Speaker 1: everyone's been there at the top. It's been a neck

952
00:44:48,520 --> 00:44:50,239
Speaker 1: and neck race trying to figure out who's gonna make

953
00:44:50,239 --> 00:44:52,239
Speaker 1: it into the playoffs who's not. Um, you know, it

954
00:44:52,280 --> 00:44:54,759
Speaker 1: always comes down to the last game. So UM, you know,

955
00:44:54,920 --> 00:44:57,400
Speaker 1: I'm gonna let y'all, y'all continue to pick that. I

956
00:44:57,560 --> 00:44:59,840
Speaker 1: know who I got, but uh, but yeah, I'll let you.

957
00:45:00,000 --> 00:45:03,200
Speaker 1: I'll just pick that out of yourself. Nice. You've got

958
00:45:03,239 --> 00:45:08,279
Speaker 1: the Bengals Bradleys, and I'm questions and tweets. Bradley, you

959
00:45:08,520 --> 00:45:12,120
Speaker 1: played center at Alabama, then for two years you started

960
00:45:12,360 --> 00:45:15,760
Speaker 1: at guard in Baltimore, and now you're moving back to center.

961
00:45:15,800 --> 00:45:17,600
Speaker 1: You're will be snapping the ball to Lamar Jackson, a

962
00:45:17,680 --> 00:45:20,680
Speaker 1: huge responsibility. What's been your main focus? Just give me

963
00:45:20,719 --> 00:45:23,520
Speaker 1: something specific to show that you can be a reliable

964
00:45:23,600 --> 00:45:27,320
Speaker 1: center for the Ravens. Number One is snaps. You know

965
00:45:27,360 --> 00:45:29,680
Speaker 1: that's where it always starts. It starts getting the ball

966
00:45:29,719 --> 00:45:31,239
Speaker 1: back to him. You know, it's the only position in

967
00:45:31,239 --> 00:45:33,200
Speaker 1: the field that touches the ball every single place, So

968
00:45:33,680 --> 00:45:36,319
Speaker 1: you know, definitely a high priority to make sure it's

969
00:45:36,320 --> 00:45:38,400
Speaker 1: getting back to Lamar and whoever it's back, they're catching it.

970
00:45:38,520 --> 00:45:41,239
Speaker 1: So you're just continue to develop, continue to give everyone

971
00:45:41,320 --> 00:45:43,239
Speaker 1: on the same path, make sure that everyone's you know,

972
00:45:43,360 --> 00:45:45,799
Speaker 1: going to the right people, the right schemes are called.

973
00:45:45,880 --> 00:45:48,839
Speaker 1: You know, just just making sure the protection and Lamar's protected. Um,

974
00:45:48,920 --> 00:45:50,760
Speaker 1: you know that that's been the biggest thing, is diving

975
00:45:50,840 --> 00:45:53,160
Speaker 1: deep into displaybook and really feel it, figuring it out

976
00:45:53,200 --> 00:45:57,680
Speaker 1: inside and out. Bradley, the last time you want to show,

977
00:45:57,719 --> 00:46:00,719
Speaker 1: you spoke of your time living in an RV with

978
00:46:00,800 --> 00:46:02,960
Speaker 1: your wife Nikki. You talked about to set up the

979
00:46:03,080 --> 00:46:05,560
Speaker 1: kitchen and then the living room. Is there ever a

980
00:46:05,640 --> 00:46:08,320
Speaker 1: time that you missed that RV lifestyle? That's one of

981
00:46:08,400 --> 00:46:13,319
Speaker 1: my favorite shows, by the way. Uh, you know it's yeah,

982
00:46:13,520 --> 00:46:15,120
Speaker 1: I do for sure. You know it was. It was

983
00:46:15,160 --> 00:46:16,879
Speaker 1: a good time for Nikki and I to be able

984
00:46:16,920 --> 00:46:18,920
Speaker 1: to really come together. I mean, you know, when you're

985
00:46:18,920 --> 00:46:20,879
Speaker 1: when you're fighting, when you're fussing, whenever you know things

986
00:46:20,920 --> 00:46:22,440
Speaker 1: are not going great, there's nowhere to hide, so you

987
00:46:22,560 --> 00:46:24,920
Speaker 1: really figure out how to work on your marriage, how

988
00:46:25,000 --> 00:46:28,440
Speaker 1: to you know, continue just to build that relationship together. Uh.

989
00:46:28,480 --> 00:46:29,959
Speaker 1: And then you know I would come home and Nicky

990
00:46:29,960 --> 00:46:31,400
Speaker 1: would have a fire going out in the fire pit.

991
00:46:31,520 --> 00:46:33,399
Speaker 1: You know, we'd sit around and just just hang out

992
00:46:33,440 --> 00:46:35,879
Speaker 1: and uh, you know, sit there with a dog. So yeah,

993
00:46:35,880 --> 00:46:38,000
Speaker 1: I miss it sometimes, but I'm definitely glad. You know,

994
00:46:38,040 --> 00:46:40,719
Speaker 1: we're in a house stareing COVID and and now going forward.

995
00:46:40,800 --> 00:46:42,479

00:46:42,480 --> 00:46:46,600
Speaker 1: never forget. It was a great year and it continues.
