Speaker 1: Football Weeks seven kicks off with Teddy Bridgewater and the

26
00:01:32,120 --> 00:01:34,959
Speaker 1: Broncos heading into hostile territory. The Browns are hungry to

27
00:01:34,959 --> 00:01:39,119
Speaker 1: defend the dog found though injuries, injuries, injuries. Who wants

28
00:01:39,120 --> 00:01:41,840
Speaker 1: this one more? It's a primetime battle in Cleveland tonight

00:01:44,720 --> 00:01:49,480
Speaker 1: with plenty of choices for your pleasure on Prime Video. Okay,

31
00:01:49,880 --> 00:01:52,560
Speaker 1: talking about Batman making an entrance, how about this guy,

32
00:01:52,800 --> 00:01:56,520
Speaker 1: James Palmer. I call him Jimmy Palm Trees. He's Jimmy Wheels.

33
00:01:56,560 --> 00:02:00,120
Speaker 1: This morning work. Yes, this is first Energy S but

34
00:02:00,240 --> 00:02:04,440
Speaker 1: early in Cleveland. Good morning football to him. He's excited

35
00:02:04,600 --> 00:02:10,000
Speaker 1: and ready to go. James, Good morning quite ann good

36
00:02:10,000 --> 00:02:11,920
Speaker 1: to be here. Guys. Just scoot it in from the

37
00:02:11,919 --> 00:02:15,720
Speaker 1: Retz on a scooter. Live in life in Cleveland, Live

38
00:02:15,800 --> 00:02:18,120
Speaker 1: in your life. Okay, Well, we heard the news yesterday.

39
00:02:18,200 --> 00:02:21,000
Speaker 1: James it'll be case Keenham starting for the Browns. What

40
00:02:21,040 --> 00:02:23,320
Speaker 1: should we expect from him today? He has some familiarity

41
00:02:23,360 --> 00:02:30,120
Speaker 1: with Kevin Stefanski as a starting quarterback. Okay, he really does, obviously.

42
00:02:30,200 --> 00:02:32,679
Speaker 1: Kevin Stefanski was his quarterback coach in Minnesota when he

43
00:02:32,720 --> 00:02:35,680
Speaker 1: had the best year of his NFL career career and

44
00:02:35,760 --> 00:02:39,080
Speaker 1: wins career and touchdowns. And you look at him stepping

45
00:02:39,120 --> 00:02:40,800
Speaker 1: in and talking to some of the players on this

46
00:02:40,840 --> 00:02:44,359
Speaker 1: team yesterday. They found out yesterday morning that case Keenam

47
00:02:44,360 --> 00:02:45,920
Speaker 1: was going to be their starter. He took all the

48
00:02:45,960 --> 00:02:48,840
Speaker 1: reps yesterday. Baker took all the reps on Tuesday, and

49
00:02:48,880 --> 00:02:50,799
Speaker 1: they kind of like him stepping into this role. They

50
00:02:50,840 --> 00:02:52,880
Speaker 1: know this is what case Keenum has been through his

51
00:02:53,000 --> 00:02:55,639
Speaker 1: NFL career, come in last minute and make some things

52
00:02:55,680 --> 00:02:57,400
Speaker 1: happen and play well. And guys told me, you know,

53
00:02:57,880 --> 00:02:59,840
Speaker 1: in the time he's been here, he makes them unbelievable

54
00:03:00,320 --> 00:03:02,680
Speaker 1: in practice. They're ready for him to step in. Now

55
00:03:02,680 --> 00:03:04,560
Speaker 1: we know what's going to be around him and what's

56
00:03:04,600 --> 00:03:07,280
Speaker 1: not going to be around him. Both running backs are

57
00:03:07,320 --> 00:03:10,600
Speaker 1: out in Kareem Hunt and Nick Chubb. Both tackles missed

58
00:03:10,680 --> 00:03:13,600
Speaker 1: last Sunday. I was told that Jedrick Wills at the

59
00:03:13,680 --> 00:03:17,320
Speaker 1: left tackle spot battling an ankle issue, he is expected

60
00:03:17,360 --> 00:03:20,079
Speaker 1: to come back. But Jack Conklin on the right side

61
00:03:20,120 --> 00:03:22,720
Speaker 1: with a knee issue, he is not expected to go tonight.

62
00:03:22,800 --> 00:03:25,560
Speaker 1: That is the side that von Miller remember rushes from

63
00:03:25,600 --> 00:03:27,440
Speaker 1: and he says he's going to kill some tackles. So

64
00:03:27,520 --> 00:03:30,680
Speaker 1: Jack Conklin may be spared today in terms of those tackles.

65
00:03:30,680 --> 00:03:32,359
Speaker 1: If von Miller wants to go out there and kill,

66
00:03:32,400 --> 00:03:34,639
Speaker 1: how about the receivers that case Keenum is going to

67
00:03:34,720 --> 00:03:37,560
Speaker 1: have at his disposal. Odo Beckham Junior, I'm told has

68
00:03:37,640 --> 00:03:40,880
Speaker 1: a significant shoulder injury. It is a long time before kickoff.

69
00:03:40,880 --> 00:03:43,160
Speaker 1: It is still pitch black, but it is an uphill

70
00:03:43,200 --> 00:03:45,240
Speaker 1: battle to my understanding, for him to be able to

71
00:03:45,240 --> 00:03:48,440
Speaker 1: go tonight, But we won't close the door completely. Jarvis

72
00:03:48,480 --> 00:03:50,880
Speaker 1: Landry has a chance to come off of I R

73
00:03:50,920 --> 00:03:53,080
Speaker 1: and get activated by four o'clock. There's a very good

74
00:03:53,160 --> 00:03:55,800
Speaker 1: chance I'm told that happens, and if that happens, he

75
00:03:55,880 --> 00:03:59,400
Speaker 1: will be available four. Case Keenum a litany of injuries

76
00:04:00,120 --> 00:04:02,680
Speaker 1: or the Cleveland Browns on a short week, but they

77
00:04:02,720 --> 00:04:06,520
Speaker 1: have some excitement around case Keenum. There is excitement but

78
00:04:06,600 --> 00:04:09,760
Speaker 1: there's also a very morbid injury bingo board going on

79
00:04:09,840 --> 00:04:13,920
Speaker 1: this morning, JP, and that includes the Broncos quarterback. What's

80
00:04:13,920 --> 00:04:16,320
Speaker 1: going on with Teddy Bridgewater? And do not add yourself

81
00:04:16,360 --> 00:04:18,320
Speaker 1: to that Bengal board on that scooter. Man, Come on,

82
00:04:21,200 --> 00:04:23,800
Speaker 1: I know, I know, seriously all this talk about labor issues,

83
00:04:23,800 --> 00:04:25,800
Speaker 1: I'm reporting today with a torn labor im guys dating

84
00:04:25,839 --> 00:04:27,560
Speaker 1: back to the old college days. But I'm battling through.

85
00:04:27,600 --> 00:04:28,960
Speaker 1: It's gonna be a long day, but I got it.

86
00:04:29,160 --> 00:04:31,719
Speaker 1: How about Teddy Bridgewater and what he's battling through with

87
00:04:31,800 --> 00:04:34,039
Speaker 1: that left foot injury? It was stepped on during a

88
00:04:34,080 --> 00:04:36,920
Speaker 1: touchdown pass and Noah Fan against the Raiders last Sunday

89
00:04:37,120 --> 00:04:39,039
Speaker 1: went numb for pretty much the rest of the game,

90
00:04:39,080 --> 00:04:41,240
Speaker 1: had a hard time getting through the week. I was

91
00:04:41,279 --> 00:04:44,120
Speaker 1: told yesterday's practice was a little more than what the

92
00:04:44,160 --> 00:04:46,800
Speaker 1: walkthrough was on Tuesday, had him kind of jogging around

93
00:04:46,800 --> 00:04:49,120
Speaker 1: and after they saw him operate there, they believe he

94
00:04:49,240 --> 00:04:51,440
Speaker 1: is going to be able to go tonight, but obviously

95
00:04:51,480 --> 00:04:53,320
Speaker 1: his mobility will be limited. And when I talked to

96
00:04:53,360 --> 00:04:56,120
Speaker 1: Brown safety John Johnson, he said, with our defensive line

97
00:04:56,160 --> 00:04:58,920
Speaker 1: that I sit there each week and watch them trash

98
00:04:59,000 --> 00:05:01,560
Speaker 1: offensive Lineman. This is not the game you want your

99
00:05:01,560 --> 00:05:05,239
Speaker 1: mobility limited in in any capacity, specifically if the field

100
00:05:05,240 --> 00:05:07,680
Speaker 1: has any sort of issues with the weather today. So

101
00:05:07,920 --> 00:05:10,520
Speaker 1: they want to get after Teddy Bridgewater. He is expected

102
00:05:10,560 --> 00:05:12,640
Speaker 1: to play, but he is battling through a foot injury

103
00:05:12,640 --> 00:05:15,400
Speaker 1: that has slowed him down throughout this week and again,

104
00:05:15,640 --> 00:05:17,440
Speaker 1: a short week, not the time you want to have

105
00:05:17,520 --> 00:05:20,600
Speaker 1: that against Miles Carrett And to Debion Clowney and company,

106
00:05:21,440 --> 00:05:23,640
Speaker 1: it's so true. The Bronchos have dropped three straight though

107
00:05:23,640 --> 00:05:25,599
Speaker 1: won their first game three games of the season, but

108
00:05:25,640 --> 00:05:28,080
Speaker 1: it's still going into this one almost impossible to say

109
00:05:28,120 --> 00:05:30,160
Speaker 1: they don't have the edge given the injuries that have

110
00:05:30,200 --> 00:05:32,800
Speaker 1: piled up for Cleveland. Thinks so much, James, we'll talk

111
00:05:32,839 --> 00:05:35,000
Speaker 1: to you in a little bit case Keenum under center

112
00:05:35,000 --> 00:05:36,840
Speaker 1: and a night Shrigs. Which team do you think has

113
00:05:36,839 --> 00:05:39,159
Speaker 1: the edge? We're gonna say the opposite. I think the

114
00:05:39,279 --> 00:05:42,640
Speaker 1: Browns still have the edge despite all the injuries on

115
00:05:42,760 --> 00:05:45,640
Speaker 1: Cleveland's roster. The Broncos are not good this year and

116
00:05:45,680 --> 00:05:47,320
Speaker 1: this is a wake up call to anyone watching. And

117
00:05:47,320 --> 00:05:50,559
Speaker 1: I'm shaking the cage because they're now fifteen and twenty

118
00:05:50,560 --> 00:05:52,760
Speaker 1: three under Vic Fangio. In three years. This is another

119
00:05:52,800 --> 00:05:56,400
Speaker 1: three game losing streak. Their offensive line was obliterated last

120
00:05:56,400 --> 00:06:00,560
Speaker 1: week against the Raiders, where Teddy Bridgewater got act five

121
00:06:00,640 --> 00:06:04,880
Speaker 1: times and was hit thirteen times despite the Raiders only

122
00:06:04,920 --> 00:06:08,640
Speaker 1: blitzing three percent of the game. Clowney and Garrett are

123
00:06:08,680 --> 00:06:11,960
Speaker 1: really good. Clowney and Garrett can win this game for Cleveland.

124
00:06:12,000 --> 00:06:14,480
Speaker 1: They're the two best players on the field tonight. I

125
00:06:14,520 --> 00:06:16,880
Speaker 1: think that those guys give them the edge. Even with

126
00:06:17,080 --> 00:06:19,640
Speaker 1: all the injuries on Cleveland's offense. You know, it's a

127
00:06:19,680 --> 00:06:21,400
Speaker 1: shame watching this Denver team because they did come out

128
00:06:21,400 --> 00:06:23,359
Speaker 1: to a three and not start. But we said, you

129
00:06:23,360 --> 00:06:26,000
Speaker 1: know what, their offense they might not be there this year.

130
00:06:26,080 --> 00:06:29,400
Speaker 1: We might, but their defense is surely something special. I

131
00:06:29,440 --> 00:06:33,680
Speaker 1: gotta be honest, Sirtan Fuller, Kareem Jackson, those guys are

132
00:06:33,720 --> 00:06:35,280
Speaker 1: supposed to be the strength of the team. This year,

133
00:06:35,560 --> 00:06:38,520
Speaker 1: Denver's defense has not been great. Outside of Von Miller,

134
00:06:38,720 --> 00:06:41,040
Speaker 1: it has been a lot of question marks. Cleveland can

135
00:06:41,080 --> 00:06:44,159
Speaker 1: still win this game. They are at home on a

136
00:06:44,240 --> 00:06:47,360
Speaker 1: Thursday night, with their fans in the building, and the

137
00:06:47,400 --> 00:06:49,760
Speaker 1: two best pass rushers on the field. I think that

138
00:06:49,800 --> 00:06:52,599
Speaker 1: includes Von Miller right now, Jadeveon Clowney is playing that

139
00:06:52,600 --> 00:06:54,760
Speaker 1: well last week. I think that Cleveland can just eat

140
00:06:54,800 --> 00:06:56,400
Speaker 1: this one out. It's not going to be pretty, but

141
00:06:56,440 --> 00:06:59,800
Speaker 1: I think Cleveland has the edge. Traditionally, Thursday night games

142
00:07:00,080 --> 00:07:02,920
Speaker 1: always have the home team, they have the advantage. And

143
00:07:03,000 --> 00:07:06,360
Speaker 1: people say, well just because of his home Well, all

144
00:07:06,360 --> 00:07:09,039
Speaker 1: the injuries that we're talking about, let's just imagine this.

145
00:07:09,120 --> 00:07:12,520
Speaker 1: Let's just say the Broncos they left Denver yesterday, say

146
00:07:12,520 --> 00:07:15,440
Speaker 1: at four o'clock, you can only do so much treatment

147
00:07:15,520 --> 00:07:18,720
Speaker 1: on the plane. But the Cleveland Browns, those tackles, those

148
00:07:18,760 --> 00:07:21,760
Speaker 1: wide receivers, they have all the facilities, they have everything.

149
00:07:21,800 --> 00:07:25,080
Speaker 1: At their homes. You can continue the treatment right up

150
00:07:25,160 --> 00:07:28,480
Speaker 1: until kickoff. So for me, I'm gonna say at home

151
00:07:28,560 --> 00:07:31,560
Speaker 1: and be able to get the treatment. Slight edge also

152
00:07:32,080 --> 00:07:34,080
Speaker 1: case Keenom, And the only reason why I'm giving him

153
00:07:34,080 --> 00:07:37,440
Speaker 1: a slight edge is two things. Familiarity with the offense,

154
00:07:37,520 --> 00:07:40,720
Speaker 1: of course, and the good news that Jarvis Landry might

155
00:07:40,800 --> 00:07:43,600
Speaker 1: come off injury reserve at four o'clock. Because I would

156
00:07:43,680 --> 00:07:48,200
Speaker 1: much rather have Jarvis Landry than Odell Beckham. Why Odell

157
00:07:48,240 --> 00:07:50,760
Speaker 1: plays a lot outside, It takes longer to get the

158
00:07:50,800 --> 00:07:54,240
Speaker 1: ball outside. Case keenom. If he's able to get Jarvis back,

159
00:07:54,280 --> 00:07:57,160
Speaker 1: I believe you can attack the Broncos defense in that

160
00:07:57,240 --> 00:08:00,840
Speaker 1: slot area with Jarvis because he is not going to

161
00:08:00,880 --> 00:08:02,360
Speaker 1: have a lot of time to build throw the ball.

162
00:08:02,520 --> 00:08:05,920
Speaker 1: My last point, Teddy Bridgewater doesn't have a big arm,

163
00:08:06,000 --> 00:08:09,239
Speaker 1: so anytime he has any type of lower leg injury,

164
00:08:10,080 --> 00:08:11,960
Speaker 1: watch how the ball is going to flutter in the

165
00:08:12,040 --> 00:08:14,080
Speaker 1: air and hang in the air. He is not going

166
00:08:14,160 --> 00:08:16,400
Speaker 1: to be able to put a lot of velocity because

167
00:08:17,000 --> 00:08:19,960
Speaker 1: genetically he doesn't have a big time arm. Thirty miles

168
00:08:19,960 --> 00:08:22,440
Speaker 1: prior wins tonight too. They're saying that I was just

169
00:08:22,480 --> 00:08:25,800
Speaker 1: looking at the weather report. Yes, so watch his ball.

170
00:08:25,880 --> 00:08:29,840
Speaker 1: It will be fluttering so straight round the nine. You're

171
00:08:29,880 --> 00:08:34,000
Speaker 1: a guy right, got case Keenum and Teddy Bridgewater. I

172
00:08:34,000 --> 00:08:35,679
Speaker 1: want to see what the wind is Legger. It's interesting.

173
00:08:36,440 --> 00:08:38,000
Speaker 1: I don't know if you're allowed to say this in

174
00:08:38,000 --> 00:08:40,679
Speaker 1: this era. I don't know who has the edge. We

175
00:08:40,800 --> 00:08:43,400
Speaker 1: talked about hundreds of games at this table. Has there

176
00:08:43,440 --> 00:08:46,800
Speaker 1: ever been one with more unknown? Like we have two

177
00:08:46,840 --> 00:08:50,640
Speaker 1: teams coming up five consecutive straight losses, a quarterback in

178
00:08:50,760 --> 00:08:53,440
Speaker 1: Bridgewater who we think we know what his deal is,

179
00:08:53,480 --> 00:08:56,000
Speaker 1: A backup quarterback in Keenum that we think we know it,

180
00:08:56,240 --> 00:08:58,439
Speaker 1: and then about fifteen strange injuries. So what I try

181
00:08:58,480 --> 00:08:59,760
Speaker 1: to do is I just try to be very linear

182
00:08:59,800 --> 00:09:03,000
Speaker 1: in fact, position a position, who has the advantage, who's better?

183
00:09:03,040 --> 00:09:05,959
Speaker 1: All right? I think quarterback and running back. I think

184
00:09:06,000 --> 00:09:09,280
Speaker 1: Denver has a slight advantage tonight. I think pass catchers.

185
00:09:09,320 --> 00:09:11,280
Speaker 1: I think it's a draw pass rush. I think it's

186
00:09:11,280 --> 00:09:14,160
Speaker 1: a big advantage for Cleveland secondary slight Denver. And I

187
00:09:14,160 --> 00:09:15,840
Speaker 1: think Denver is a better kicker, and it probably will

188
00:09:15,880 --> 00:09:17,760
Speaker 1: come down to kickers tonight. The only other thing I

189
00:09:17,760 --> 00:09:19,920
Speaker 1: would look at is a couple of years ago, it flipped.

190
00:09:19,960 --> 00:09:21,800
Speaker 1: Every time we would talk to an exployer current player,

191
00:09:21,840 --> 00:09:23,480
Speaker 1: we would always say, when the schedule comes out, there

192
00:09:23,559 --> 00:09:25,480
Speaker 1: first thing we look at is the bye. The bye.

193
00:09:25,640 --> 00:09:27,040
Speaker 1: Now they say the first time we will get is

194
00:09:27,040 --> 00:09:28,600
Speaker 1: the Thursday night football game. I want to know when

195
00:09:28,600 --> 00:09:30,120
Speaker 1: that game is. I don't know where it is, because

196
00:09:30,160 --> 00:09:31,680
Speaker 1: I wonder how my body is going to be feeling.

197
00:09:31,920 --> 00:09:34,280
Speaker 1: The way that Cleveland this week, of all weeks, they

198
00:09:34,280 --> 00:09:36,480
Speaker 1: get the Thursday night game is terrible luck. I actually

199
00:09:36,480 --> 00:09:39,400
Speaker 1: think Denver has the edge today. I think, but I've

200
00:09:39,440 --> 00:09:41,640
Speaker 1: never had less conviction it's a weird game where you

201
00:09:41,679 --> 00:09:43,200
Speaker 1: come out on coaching. I think that's a huge one

202
00:09:43,240 --> 00:09:45,400
Speaker 1: in this one because Kevin Stefanski, I think is proven,

203
00:09:45,440 --> 00:09:47,480
Speaker 1: given what even the record you just talked about, that

204
00:09:47,559 --> 00:09:50,160
Speaker 1: he has the edge in this matchup. I'll bring this up.

205
00:09:50,200 --> 00:09:52,800
Speaker 1: We've talked so much about injuries. I think certain teams

206
00:09:52,800 --> 00:09:57,240
Speaker 1: are built foundationally on certain players, and I think we

207
00:09:57,320 --> 00:09:59,480
Speaker 1: should talk about just by the numbers that I was

208
00:09:59,520 --> 00:10:02,760
Speaker 1: looking at Nick Chubb and what his absence means to

209
00:10:02,880 --> 00:10:04,640
Speaker 1: this team. This is not a you know, we look

210
00:10:04,640 --> 00:10:07,040
Speaker 1: at the Browns run offense and we're like, yeah, plug

211
00:10:07,080 --> 00:10:09,520
Speaker 1: anybody in there next spin a mentality. Chris Carter has

212
00:10:09,520 --> 00:10:12,480
Speaker 1: been so great talking about this and sharing his thoughts

213
00:10:12,520 --> 00:10:14,480
Speaker 1: all week about it. But there's a perception that they

214
00:10:14,480 --> 00:10:16,920
Speaker 1: can get it done. But even when Kareem Hunt is healthy,

215
00:10:17,480 --> 00:10:20,439
Speaker 1: look at the Browns performance when Chubb has played over

216
00:10:20,480 --> 00:10:22,199
Speaker 1: the last two years and when he's been out, Cleveland's

217
00:10:22,200 --> 00:10:24,360
Speaker 1: twelve and five with him, just two and three without.

218
00:10:24,720 --> 00:10:28,360
Speaker 1: They average over eight fewer points a game. The rushing

219
00:10:28,440 --> 00:10:32,400
Speaker 1: yards get slashed basically in half, and the yards per

220
00:10:32,440 --> 00:10:35,760
Speaker 1: carry go from elite to literally below average. That shows

221
00:10:35,760 --> 00:10:37,920
Speaker 1: you what a difference maker he is. Now obviously we

222
00:10:37,960 --> 00:10:40,360
Speaker 1: know he's good. I don't think he gets enough credit.

223
00:10:40,400 --> 00:10:43,680
Speaker 1: We talk about Derreck Henry as being so important to

224
00:10:43,720 --> 00:10:46,000
Speaker 1: his team, the most valuable player on this team, because

225
00:10:46,000 --> 00:10:49,200
Speaker 1: the entire foundation of what a team does defensively is

226
00:10:49,240 --> 00:10:51,600
Speaker 1: based on him offensively on him. I'm not saying he's

227
00:10:51,600 --> 00:10:53,880
Speaker 1: as good as Henry, but he's such a quality back

228
00:10:53,920 --> 00:10:55,520
Speaker 1: that does everything the right way, and I think they're

229
00:10:55,520 --> 00:10:57,000
Speaker 1: going to really miss him out there. I think that

230
00:10:57,160 --> 00:10:59,600
Speaker 1: loses their edge. The running game is gonna be really

231
00:10:59,640 --> 00:11:02,440
Speaker 1: import Peter. The weather. It's going to rain all day, yeah,

232
00:11:02,480 --> 00:11:04,720
Speaker 1: and then around eight o'clock it's going to get really winding.

233
00:11:04,880 --> 00:11:07,000
Speaker 1: A watch for the field for players that have trouble

234
00:11:07,000 --> 00:11:09,679
Speaker 1: with the footing. Well said at JIMFP. Let's bring into

235
00:11:09,679 --> 00:11:13,200
Speaker 1: Mike Darefolo now our NFL Network insider of this Thursday

236
00:11:13,200 --> 00:11:15,640
Speaker 1: in Fight Football kickoff to Week seven party that we're

237
00:11:15,679 --> 00:11:17,839
Speaker 1: having here on Good Morning Football. Mike, Good morning to you.

238
00:11:17,920 --> 00:11:20,559
Speaker 1: The Niners coming off there by, will they have Jimmy

239
00:11:20,600 --> 00:11:23,880
Speaker 1: Garoppolo on Sunday against the Colts, And when will Stefan

240
00:11:23,960 --> 00:11:28,240
Speaker 1: Gilmour finally hit the field for Carolina Two questions. We'll

241
00:11:28,240 --> 00:11:31,280
Speaker 1: start with Jimmy g Kay, thank you very much. He

242
00:11:31,400 --> 00:11:35,800
Speaker 1: returned to practice. He's got that calf issue that turned

243
00:11:35,800 --> 00:11:38,400
Speaker 1: out wasn't really as serious as they thought, but enough

244
00:11:38,400 --> 00:11:40,800
Speaker 1: for him to miss a game. But Kyle Shanahan now

245
00:11:40,880 --> 00:11:44,360
Speaker 1: saying that he's optimistic that Garoppolo will be ready to

246
00:11:44,400 --> 00:11:48,600
Speaker 1: go after doing work in practice yesterday. Now the other

247
00:11:48,640 --> 00:11:50,680
Speaker 1: side of this is Trey Lance, who's got a knee

248
00:11:50,720 --> 00:11:52,719
Speaker 1: issue that they thought he was going to be back,

249
00:11:52,760 --> 00:11:54,920
Speaker 1: at least hopeful that he was going to be back

250
00:11:55,040 --> 00:11:58,080
Speaker 1: in action by now he was not available, and Kyle

251
00:11:58,080 --> 00:12:00,680
Speaker 1: Shanahan saying would not be surprised if he's not back

252
00:12:01,000 --> 00:12:03,040
Speaker 1: until next week. So it looks like it'll be Jimmy

253
00:12:03,040 --> 00:12:06,040
Speaker 1: Garoppolo back for the forty nine ers with Trey Lance

254
00:12:06,120 --> 00:12:08,160
Speaker 1: needing more time to recover from that knee issue. The

255
00:12:08,160 --> 00:12:10,600
Speaker 1: other guy you asked abouts to find, Gilmore, the new

256
00:12:10,679 --> 00:12:14,240
Speaker 1: Pathers cornerback, now eligible to come off the physically unable

257
00:12:14,280 --> 00:12:17,360
Speaker 1: to perform list, and so he was back at practice yesterday,

258
00:12:17,480 --> 00:12:19,640
Speaker 1: rocking the number nine right there. They're going to ease

259
00:12:19,720 --> 00:12:22,640
Speaker 1: him into football shape. Remember he's got that had that

260
00:12:22,720 --> 00:12:25,720
Speaker 1: quad injury last year. Is still working his way back

261
00:12:25,760 --> 00:12:28,640
Speaker 1: from that, so he's got to get himself into football

262
00:12:28,720 --> 00:12:32,760
Speaker 1: shape now. Matt Rule, the Panthers coach hopeful that Gilmore

263
00:12:32,920 --> 00:12:35,360
Speaker 1: is going to be ready to go this upcoming weekend

264
00:12:35,440 --> 00:12:38,400
Speaker 1: against the Giants. Not quite sure just yet. They have

265
00:12:38,440 --> 00:12:40,480
Speaker 1: to see how he progresses through the week and will

266
00:12:40,480 --> 00:12:42,520
Speaker 1: they do what they did with C. J. Henderson when

267
00:12:42,559 --> 00:12:46,120
Speaker 1: they acquired him via trade, the former Jaguar's cornerback, where

268
00:12:46,120 --> 00:12:48,439
Speaker 1: they gave him a limited number of snaps and then

269
00:12:48,679 --> 00:12:50,960
Speaker 1: kind of worked his way up. We'll see how that goes.

270
00:12:51,280 --> 00:12:53,440
Speaker 1: But I do know that the Panthers like the look

271
00:12:53,440 --> 00:12:56,480
Speaker 1: of Stefan Gilmore out in the field on the practice field.

272
00:12:56,480 --> 00:12:58,439
Speaker 1: That is hopeful he will be on the playing field

273
00:12:58,480 --> 00:13:01,880
Speaker 1: against the Giants. Appreciate you, Mike here fellow. Talk to

274
00:13:01,920 --> 00:13:04,280
Speaker 1: you all morning right here at GMF on Twitter. We've

275
00:13:04,280 --> 00:13:06,520
Speaker 1: got lots to get to. We'll have a rookie discussion

276
00:13:07,280 --> 00:13:10,440
Speaker 1: justin fields. We've got some fantasy sleepers for you, the

277
00:13:10,640 --> 00:13:13,920
Speaker 1: roller coaster of quarterbacks survival. It's all coming up right

278
00:13:13,920 --> 00:13:16,679
Speaker 1: here on Good Morning Football, JJ wat Jared Goff extra

279
00:13:16,720 --> 00:13:19,199
Speaker 1: motivation this week against their former teams. We're talking those

280
00:13:19,240 --> 00:13:33,560
Speaker 1: guys would you rather next. Welcome back to Good Morning

281
00:13:33,559 --> 00:13:35,360
Speaker 1: Football and it's Week seven. It's time front of the

282
00:13:35,440 --> 00:13:38,080
Speaker 1: round of what you rather? We say, would you rather this?

283
00:13:38,280 --> 00:13:40,839
Speaker 1: Would you rather that? So let's start with the Bengals

284
00:13:40,920 --> 00:13:43,000
Speaker 1: visiting the Ravens. Game of the week in my opinion,

285
00:13:43,080 --> 00:13:44,959
Speaker 1: let's take a look at those two quarterbacks. If you

286
00:13:45,040 --> 00:13:47,160
Speaker 1: had to pick one player to predict that we'll have

287
00:13:47,240 --> 00:13:51,240
Speaker 1: a bigger, better game on Sunday. Are we going Joe Burrow?

288
00:13:51,280 --> 00:13:54,679
Speaker 1: Are you going Lamar Jackson? Chris Carter? Let's go? Oh no?

289
00:13:54,880 --> 00:13:57,600
Speaker 1: This is very, very difficult, And the reason why I'm

290
00:13:57,640 --> 00:14:02,560
Speaker 1: gonna go with Joe is because he's got a better

291
00:14:02,600 --> 00:14:05,000
Speaker 1: supporting cast. Now have I seen Lamar do it in

292
00:14:05,040 --> 00:14:07,280
Speaker 1: the last several weeks through the air, on the ground,

293
00:14:07,360 --> 00:14:09,440
Speaker 1: through the air, and on the ground. This is a

294
00:14:09,559 --> 00:14:13,680
Speaker 1: terrifying pick by me, But I'm just telling Joe Burrows

295
00:14:13,840 --> 00:14:16,800
Speaker 1: is a dude man like. He is a different cat,

296
00:14:16,960 --> 00:14:19,680
Speaker 1: and I love the way that they've surrounded him with

297
00:14:19,800 --> 00:14:23,000
Speaker 1: the talent that defense playing top five. Maybe give him

298
00:14:23,000 --> 00:14:26,760
Speaker 1: a couple extra possessions. I'm going with Joe Burrows in

299
00:14:26,760 --> 00:14:29,320
Speaker 1: this big week number seven. Yeah, I know Lamar has

300
00:14:29,360 --> 00:14:32,360
Speaker 1: been MVP. Yeah, I know fastest to win so many games.

301
00:14:32,960 --> 00:14:36,600
Speaker 1: I'm Joe Burrows is a different cat. He really is.

302
00:14:36,760 --> 00:14:39,880
Speaker 1: All of them are. Chris changed up everything from what

303
00:14:39,920 --> 00:14:44,560
Speaker 1: I'm here's your supporting cast for Lamar. He's got this,

304
00:14:44,760 --> 00:14:48,040
Speaker 1: He's got this, He's got this, he's got this. There's

305
00:14:48,120 --> 00:14:50,920
Speaker 1: no way in the basketball sense, I'm taking the ball

306
00:14:50,960 --> 00:14:53,600
Speaker 1: out of Lamar's hands right now, he's clapping, Give the ball.

307
00:14:53,640 --> 00:14:56,960
Speaker 1: Just shoot Lamar from wherever you want. And you want

308
00:14:56,960 --> 00:15:00,440
Speaker 1: to supporting cast like that. That Ravens defense destroyed justin

309
00:15:00,440 --> 00:15:02,960
Speaker 1: Herber last week. I mean, it was an unbelievable performance

310
00:15:03,040 --> 00:15:05,520
Speaker 1: by them. So I don't have a ton of confidence

311
00:15:05,560 --> 00:15:08,880
Speaker 1: in Joe Burrow for that. Like Burrow, it's great, of course,

312
00:15:08,920 --> 00:15:12,520
Speaker 1: this why it's a good question Lamar right now, like that, dude,

313
00:15:12,520 --> 00:15:14,360
Speaker 1: in the entire league, not just this game, I'm going

314
00:15:14,360 --> 00:15:16,360
Speaker 1: to raid. I might take Joe Burrow too. On this,

315
00:15:16,840 --> 00:15:19,880
Speaker 1: I might take Joe's hand. Was the biggest game of

316
00:15:19,960 --> 00:15:22,560
Speaker 1: Joe Burrow's career, and we're watching Joe Burrow maybe for

317
00:15:22,560 --> 00:15:24,000
Speaker 1: the first time for a lot of people because it's

318
00:15:24,040 --> 00:15:26,560
Speaker 1: like the only game on the slate of two winning teams,

319
00:15:26,680 --> 00:15:28,960
Speaker 1: the only game this week that's the game. This is

320
00:15:28,960 --> 00:15:31,360
Speaker 1: the game of the week, and Lamar's had a million

321
00:15:31,360 --> 00:15:32,920
Speaker 1: games of the weekend. I'm not gonna say he's gonna

322
00:15:32,920 --> 00:15:35,240
Speaker 1: dismiss this, but like good, I feel like the Bengals,

323
00:15:35,240 --> 00:15:37,680
Speaker 1: this moment for them is so much more significant than

324
00:15:37,680 --> 00:15:39,960
Speaker 1: this moment for the Ravens, and I think it's Are

325
00:15:40,000 --> 00:15:42,440
Speaker 1: the Bengals for real if they win on the first

326
00:15:42,520 --> 00:15:45,600
Speaker 1: place in the AFC North. Yes, I'm gonna go with

327
00:15:45,680 --> 00:15:47,840
Speaker 1: Joe Burrow here. This guy is a gamer. Every big

328
00:15:47,920 --> 00:15:51,960
Speaker 1: moment I stepped up Pittsburgh. I could purple as I

329
00:15:51,960 --> 00:15:54,480
Speaker 1: say it, but I can regret this in about seventy

330
00:15:54,480 --> 00:15:57,240
Speaker 1: two hours. But I'm gonna say, Joe Burrow, as big

331
00:15:57,320 --> 00:16:00,640
Speaker 1: hand you do, mention that Bengals defense will dig into this.

332
00:16:00,720 --> 00:16:02,960
Speaker 1: Of course, I'm looking at some of the offenses they faced,

333
00:16:03,040 --> 00:16:07,800
Speaker 1: like what Borrow's gonna have to do? A lot more Minnesota, Chicago, Pittsburgh, Jacksonville, Detroit.

334
00:16:07,920 --> 00:16:11,080
Speaker 1: The only really threatening offense that I think that they've

335
00:16:11,120 --> 00:16:13,400
Speaker 1: had to stop was the Packers, and they looked good

336
00:16:13,440 --> 00:16:15,120
Speaker 1: doing it. But that Bengals defense, I think, and we

337
00:16:15,120 --> 00:16:16,720
Speaker 1: had Tre Hendrickson on the show, has a little bit

338
00:16:16,720 --> 00:16:19,320
Speaker 1: to prove to show that they are belonging that conversation

339
00:16:19,360 --> 00:16:22,320
Speaker 1: of top five. The Cardinals remain the only undefeated team

340
00:16:22,360 --> 00:16:24,600
Speaker 1: guys in the NFL. I can't believe it's going into

341
00:16:24,600 --> 00:16:26,960
Speaker 1: week seven. It is Arizona out in the desert. They

342
00:16:26,960 --> 00:16:29,800
Speaker 1: had a Week six win over the Browns defensive end, JJ.

343
00:16:29,960 --> 00:16:32,960
Speaker 1: What was miked up? Would you imagine? Take a listen,

344
00:16:34,520 --> 00:16:36,800
Speaker 1: pressure Ron may fiel hip but he steps up again

345
00:16:37,160 --> 00:16:40,680
Speaker 1: and he bubbles the ball. It's loose on the far side.

346
00:16:40,880 --> 00:16:43,960
Speaker 1: Devon Kennard hops on it back. The throll looks right,

347
00:16:44,040 --> 00:16:47,200
Speaker 1: Broll stocked down and complaine it's JJ. Watt got his

348
00:16:47,280 --> 00:16:58,960
Speaker 1: hands up everywhere better? What about that? Excuses but while

349
00:16:59,000 --> 00:17:06,600
Speaker 1: we win? Maybe excuse they were cup of this? They

350
00:17:06,680 --> 00:17:16,320
Speaker 1: were coup of that. Just a little bit and scene, Okay,

351
00:17:16,440 --> 00:17:18,600
Speaker 1: J J. Watt is all in and on his new team.

352
00:17:18,600 --> 00:17:20,320
Speaker 1: He has fired him and he's looked great. He's looked

353
00:17:20,320 --> 00:17:22,640
Speaker 1: so good on the field, making an impact all over

354
00:17:22,680 --> 00:17:24,680
Speaker 1: the place. Let's talk about his former squad, though, Watton.

355
00:17:24,720 --> 00:17:28,000
Speaker 1: The Cardinals facing the Texans in Week seven. Meanwhile, a

356
00:17:28,080 --> 00:17:30,520
Speaker 1: revenge game of sorts for Jared Goff. He has to

357
00:17:30,520 --> 00:17:32,639
Speaker 1: face his former team in Los Angeles, Rams. I love

358
00:17:32,680 --> 00:17:35,440
Speaker 1: these sort of situations and narratives looking at their body

359
00:17:35,440 --> 00:17:37,879
Speaker 1: of work in both cities. Gentlemen, would you rather have

360
00:17:37,960 --> 00:17:43,239
Speaker 1: JJ Watt's career in Houston or Jared Goff's career in

361
00:17:43,440 --> 00:17:45,640
Speaker 1: LA where he went to and lost a Super Bowl? Yeah?

362
00:17:46,000 --> 00:17:48,080
Speaker 1: I think this is the age old question of do

363
00:17:48,200 --> 00:17:51,000
Speaker 1: you value the winning seasons as a team or the

364
00:17:51,040 --> 00:17:52,879
Speaker 1: individual effort as a player. And we used to do

365
00:17:52,920 --> 00:17:54,520
Speaker 1: this on the show, and I think it came from

366
00:17:54,600 --> 00:17:56,760
Speaker 1: Dan Patrick Show. Actually the question was would you rather

367
00:17:56,800 --> 00:17:59,560
Speaker 1: have Eli Manning's career with two Super Bowl rings or

368
00:17:59,680 --> 00:18:03,560
Speaker 1: Dan Marino's career? That doesn't apply in this And because

369
00:18:03,720 --> 00:18:06,680
Speaker 1: Jared Goff has no rings, he has an NFC Championship rings.

370
00:18:06,720 --> 00:18:09,080
Speaker 1: So I'm gonna say, without a doubt, I still would

371
00:18:09,119 --> 00:18:11,480
Speaker 1: go with JJ Watt, with the three defensive Player of

372
00:18:11,520 --> 00:18:13,800
Speaker 1: the Years, all the All pros, the face of the league,

373
00:18:13,800 --> 00:18:15,720
Speaker 1: the Walter Payton man in the year, what he did

374
00:18:15,720 --> 00:18:19,600
Speaker 1: in Houston, I would take that experience over Jared Goffs.

375
00:18:19,600 --> 00:18:21,440
Speaker 1: Even though Jared Goff did lead his team to a

376
00:18:21,480 --> 00:18:23,960
Speaker 1: Super Bowl and there's nothing to rub your nose out

377
00:18:23,960 --> 00:18:25,480
Speaker 1: what he did in Los Angeles. I just think in

378
00:18:25,520 --> 00:18:28,000
Speaker 1: this case, that doesn't work because there is no ring

379
00:18:28,040 --> 00:18:29,560
Speaker 1: to be spoken of. It's not even you can have

380
00:18:29,600 --> 00:18:31,680
Speaker 1: that argument. Jared Goff never want to ring. In fact,

381
00:18:31,720 --> 00:18:33,160
Speaker 1: he might have had his worst game as a RAM

382
00:18:33,280 --> 00:18:34,919
Speaker 1: when it mattered most of Super Bowl. So I'm going

383
00:18:35,000 --> 00:18:37,760
Speaker 1: jj Watt the individual with all those efforts and yes,

384
00:18:37,800 --> 00:18:40,240
Speaker 1: all those touchdowns as a tight end as well. Pretty cool,

385
00:18:40,440 --> 00:18:43,720
Speaker 1: and listen, Jared Goff is got Dan Marino either. It's

386
00:18:44,480 --> 00:18:47,080
Speaker 1: maybe a grander one would be with rather j Water,

387
00:18:47,119 --> 00:18:50,560
Speaker 1: Matthew Stafford or Matt Ryan in this case, like I

388
00:18:50,680 --> 00:18:53,800
Speaker 1: have to over Jared Goff like I would go jj Watt.

389
00:18:53,840 --> 00:18:56,920
Speaker 1: I would go jj Reddick, I'd go jj Abrams like

390
00:18:56,960 --> 00:18:59,560
Speaker 1: I would go jj Watt, because it's not only like

391
00:18:59,680 --> 00:19:01,480
Speaker 1: all right, the defensive player of the year and all that.

392
00:19:02,080 --> 00:19:05,200
Speaker 1: I mean also like saved the city. He's like a superhero.

393
00:19:05,240 --> 00:19:07,159
Speaker 1: I mean that actually was like he has looked at

394
00:19:07,160 --> 00:19:10,200
Speaker 1: as a saint. I'm trying to think about the case

395
00:19:10,240 --> 00:19:13,399
Speaker 1: for Goff would be he had one really couple of

396
00:19:13,440 --> 00:19:17,480
Speaker 1: really good years, be a million reasons, yeah, absolutely well paid,

397
00:19:17,640 --> 00:19:21,320
Speaker 1: and he's just really fighting Detroit. I'm trying to bend

398
00:19:21,320 --> 00:19:23,280
Speaker 1: over backwards for this. Chris but I think maybe you

399
00:19:23,280 --> 00:19:26,359
Speaker 1: would have more perspective on the ring versus the championship. Well,

400
00:19:26,400 --> 00:19:28,960
Speaker 1: I'm just gonna go over some of my teammates that

401
00:19:29,000 --> 00:19:32,639
Speaker 1: I've had, you know, in the past. Played alongside Johnny Randall,

402
00:19:33,040 --> 00:19:36,880
Speaker 1: prayed alongside Chris Dolman, I'm very very good friends with

403
00:19:36,920 --> 00:19:41,960
Speaker 1: Bruce Smith, and played alongside Reggie White. From a quarterback standpoint,

404
00:19:42,000 --> 00:19:44,680
Speaker 1: and that's the class that I would have. JJ Widen

405
00:19:45,119 --> 00:19:48,680
Speaker 1: from a quarterback standpoint, mate eight Pro Bowls, I think,

406
00:19:48,720 --> 00:19:52,400
Speaker 1: with seven different quarterbacks before Rich Gannon got to Oakland,

407
00:19:52,520 --> 00:19:59,160
Speaker 1: Wade Wilson, Eric John Salisbury Spurgeon win lowest quarterback rating

408
00:19:59,200 --> 00:20:01,919
Speaker 1: in the history of I failed. Jared Golf might end

409
00:20:02,000 --> 00:20:04,720
Speaker 1: up in that class. We know who JJ Watt is.

410
00:20:05,160 --> 00:20:07,280
Speaker 1: Who is Jared Golf. He might be a nice guy.

411
00:20:07,320 --> 00:20:09,200
Speaker 1: There's a bunch of nice guys in the league. But

412
00:20:09,320 --> 00:20:13,119
Speaker 1: JJ Watt has a distinguished career that you can only

413
00:20:13,200 --> 00:20:17,560
Speaker 1: compare a few players in football to him. Jared Golf,

414
00:20:17,560 --> 00:20:19,399
Speaker 1: we don't even know what his career is going to be,

415
00:20:19,680 --> 00:20:23,359
Speaker 1: all right, Can he resurrect Detroit? I don't think so. So.

416
00:20:23,440 --> 00:20:25,640
Speaker 1: I don't believe this is going to be his last team.

417
00:20:25,760 --> 00:20:28,000
Speaker 1: JJ Watt by Landslock. I mean you're looking at that

418
00:20:28,080 --> 00:20:31,240
Speaker 1: jacket over there. That's where that's JJ Wat's going to

419
00:20:31,320 --> 00:20:34,359
Speaker 1: have one of those material to make it. It is glorious.

420
00:20:35,440 --> 00:20:37,720
Speaker 1: Did ever eat at you? I mean you don't have

421
00:20:37,720 --> 00:20:39,080
Speaker 1: a super bowler. When you get together with all the

422
00:20:39,080 --> 00:20:41,600
Speaker 1: Hall of Famers, a lot of guys have jackets and rings.

423
00:20:41,760 --> 00:20:44,480
Speaker 1: Does it bother you? This is the discussion. Football is

424
00:20:44,520 --> 00:20:48,359
Speaker 1: the ultimate team sport. I did everything that I could,

425
00:20:49,080 --> 00:20:54,000
Speaker 1: as far as eating, sleeping, killing my body, being a

426
00:20:54,000 --> 00:20:57,200
Speaker 1: good teammate. I did everything that I could. You cannot

427
00:20:57,200 --> 00:20:59,760
Speaker 1: control the game from a wide receiver standpoint. I would

428
00:21:00,240 --> 00:21:03,320
Speaker 1: rather say yes, out of sixteen seasons, thirteen times, I

429
00:21:03,400 --> 00:21:06,600
Speaker 1: played sixteen games six straight years. In training camp, I

430
00:21:06,640 --> 00:21:09,560
Speaker 1: did not miss a practice, so I was doing my part.

431
00:21:09,880 --> 00:21:12,840
Speaker 1: It's the ultimate ultimate team that Yes. Would I rather

432
00:21:13,080 --> 00:21:16,280
Speaker 1: rather win a super Bowl? Yeah? But I don't have

433
00:21:16,320 --> 00:21:17,919
Speaker 1: to make the distinction. Well, if I don't have a

434
00:21:17,960 --> 00:21:21,120
Speaker 1: super Bowl. The Hall of Fame is about a long career,

435
00:21:21,600 --> 00:21:24,679
Speaker 1: and it's available for everyone who signs up. Okay, the

436
00:21:24,720 --> 00:21:27,399
Speaker 1: super Bowl is not a real thing. I went against

437
00:21:27,440 --> 00:21:30,360
Speaker 1: the forty nine ers in their heyday, and then here

438
00:21:30,359 --> 00:21:33,840
Speaker 1: comes to Dallas Cowboys. Oh, and then here comes Green Bay.

439
00:21:34,160 --> 00:21:37,439
Speaker 1: So being in the NFC it was not favorable for me.

440
00:21:37,600 --> 00:21:39,760
Speaker 1: But yes, I would love to have a Super Bowl ring.

441
00:21:39,920 --> 00:21:41,520
Speaker 1: Would I trade a Super Bowl ring in for the

442
00:21:41,520 --> 00:21:48,160
Speaker 1: gold jacket? Stop smoking man, stop stop Water's legal here,

443
00:21:48,200 --> 00:21:51,080
Speaker 1: but stop that. Yeah, you're passionate about it, and so

444
00:21:51,160 --> 00:21:52,840
Speaker 1: I we love you. At the breakfast table, Chris Carter

445
00:21:52,920 --> 00:21:58,359
Speaker 1: more than runing football ahead. Also weird. Chandler Jones and J. G.

446
00:21:58,520 --> 00:22:00,600
Speaker 1: Watt are tied for thirty f on the all time

447
00:22:00,600 --> 00:22:03,320
Speaker 1: stacks to each of one or two. Wow, the teammates,

448
00:22:03,320 --> 00:22:05,320
Speaker 1: isn't it random? Yeah, so we got to wim. Yeah.

449
00:22:05,359 --> 00:22:07,359

458
00:22:34,280 --> 00:22:36,600
Speaker 1: This morning. Here's how it's gonna work. I'm gonna ask you,

459
00:22:36,640 --> 00:22:39,240
Speaker 1: my fellow co host, would you rather talk about tight

460
00:22:39,320 --> 00:22:41,879
Speaker 1: ends of the nineteen nineties, tight ends of today or

461
00:22:41,960 --> 00:22:44,040
Speaker 1: a cada where we call the mixed bag? Would really

462
00:22:44,080 --> 00:22:46,240
Speaker 1: be anything and it does have some sort of tie

463
00:22:46,280 --> 00:22:48,639
Speaker 1: to tight ends. Chris, you are our guest at the table.

464
00:22:48,920 --> 00:22:51,200
Speaker 1: Let you go first. Don't don't you leave those nineties

465
00:22:51,480 --> 00:22:55,399
Speaker 1: tight heads to me today or the mixed bag? I

466
00:22:55,440 --> 00:22:58,040
Speaker 1: wouldn't do it to you the night. Let's do it.

467
00:22:58,160 --> 00:23:00,240
Speaker 1: Let's way along at home? Please? All right? For you

468
00:23:00,280 --> 00:23:02,119
Speaker 1: guys at home, and for Chris, here the table. You

469
00:23:02,240 --> 00:23:06,679
Speaker 1: broke the single season's receptions record in NFL history in

470
00:23:06,720 --> 00:23:09,359
Speaker 1: nineteen ninety four with one hundred and twenty two Grass,

471
00:23:09,880 --> 00:23:14,160
Speaker 1: which tight End that very same season broke the tight

472
00:23:14,280 --> 00:23:19,040
Speaker 1: Ends single season reception record that year. Here the choices, Chris,

473
00:23:19,160 --> 00:23:23,879
Speaker 1: benot Jack no, but check ship and sharp Ben Coats

474
00:23:24,040 --> 00:23:27,280
Speaker 1: or Washington player Frank Whichek. Who are you saying you're

475
00:23:27,280 --> 00:23:29,359
Speaker 1: already going with Ben Coat? What are your member of

476
00:23:29,400 --> 00:23:33,520
Speaker 1: Ben Coats? Ginormous? Ginormous and they didn't have a whole

477
00:23:33,520 --> 00:23:36,760
Speaker 1: bunch of support, you know then for him? But great

478
00:23:36,800 --> 00:23:40,800
Speaker 1: hands ran a lot of different combination routes, but down

479
00:23:40,880 --> 00:23:42,879
Speaker 1: the middle if you tried to play cover two. I mean,

480
00:23:42,880 --> 00:23:45,320
Speaker 1: because he was so tall, ginormous figure, they were going

481
00:23:45,400 --> 00:23:47,080
Speaker 1: to throw to him. A bunch of all the great

482
00:23:47,119 --> 00:23:48,760
Speaker 1: tight ends in the history of the game we entered

483
00:23:48,760 --> 00:23:51,119
Speaker 1: the nineteen ninety five season. He's one of them. Now,

484
00:23:51,200 --> 00:23:57,000
Speaker 1: Ben Coats is the crazy I mean, this season might

485
00:23:57,000 --> 00:23:58,560
Speaker 1: get lost in the history because of all the new

486
00:23:58,600 --> 00:24:01,960
Speaker 1: guys that have come into and Gonzales and whatever. Ben

487
00:24:02,000 --> 00:24:05,520
Speaker 1: Coats called ninety six passes from Bledsoe for eleven and

488
00:24:05,680 --> 00:24:08,200
Speaker 1: hundred yards in ninety four. It marked one of two

489
00:24:08,280 --> 00:24:11,840
Speaker 1: all post seasons for Ben Coates. Chris Burman's nickname, Kyle,

490
00:24:11,840 --> 00:24:13,640
Speaker 1: I would think it'd be Ben winter Coat was Ben

491
00:24:13,680 --> 00:24:16,359
Speaker 1: winter Coats and he would go on to catch fifty

492
00:24:16,440 --> 00:24:19,080
Speaker 1: touchdowns for the Patriots. Now this is something I asked for.

493
00:24:19,320 --> 00:24:22,200
Speaker 1: Look at this board here, this is the all Pro

494
00:24:22,520 --> 00:24:25,720
Speaker 1: offense from nineteen ninety four. A cool screen. Oh yeah,

495
00:24:25,760 --> 00:24:30,639
Speaker 1: Steve Young, Barry Sanders, Emmett Smith, Jerry Rice, Chris Carter,

496
00:24:31,520 --> 00:24:34,440
Speaker 1: Ben Coach. That's a cool list on Chris Kyle, how's

497
00:24:34,480 --> 00:24:38,440
Speaker 1: that list? Okay, just check it with you see a

498
00:24:38,480 --> 00:24:41,720
Speaker 1: lot of rings on that list. By the way, Ben

499
00:24:41,720 --> 00:24:43,080
Speaker 1: Coats did end up winning the Super Bowl. Do you

500
00:24:43,119 --> 00:24:44,479
Speaker 1: know what team you want? What team was he on?

501
00:24:44,600 --> 00:24:47,280
Speaker 1: He won it with the Ravens, the Brian Billick Ravens.

502
00:24:47,320 --> 00:24:49,320
Speaker 1: He was on that team. That's that's true. Oh yeah,

503
00:24:49,320 --> 00:24:57,840
Speaker 1: everyone remembers that. Okay, we've got we've got it. What

504
00:24:58,000 --> 00:24:59,879
Speaker 1: would you like today yesterday? Where you want to get

505
00:25:00,160 --> 00:25:02,400
Speaker 1: ninety six catches? That's why he had two all pro seasons.

506
00:25:02,480 --> 00:25:04,560
Speaker 1: Ben Coats got to look him up. Okay, let's go

507
00:25:04,640 --> 00:25:07,840
Speaker 1: with modern day tight ends. Tight ends of today. Okay,

508
00:25:07,880 --> 00:25:10,720
Speaker 1: this one is draft related, which we are knee deep

509
00:25:10,720 --> 00:25:13,080
Speaker 1: in every every off season. We have the Kid Cutty

510
00:25:13,119 --> 00:25:16,719
Speaker 1: starter jacket. Yeah, he went fourth overall in the twenty

511
00:25:16,800 --> 00:25:19,360
Speaker 1: twenty one NFL Draft, and we also have the highest

512
00:25:19,800 --> 00:25:22,560
Speaker 1: tight end has ever gone of all the other current

513
00:25:22,600 --> 00:25:26,200
Speaker 1: tight ends in the league. Who other than Pitts was

514
00:25:26,320 --> 00:25:33,760
Speaker 1: drafted in the top eight. It's a good question, olfend Er, TJ. Hockinson,

515
00:25:34,160 --> 00:25:39,160
Speaker 1: or Zach. I think it's either Ebron or Hawkinson. Hainson Ebron,

516
00:25:39,200 --> 00:25:41,320
Speaker 1: we had so much hight for and we were so

517
00:25:41,400 --> 00:25:45,240
Speaker 1: disappointed with what he didn't do in his first couple

518
00:25:45,240 --> 00:25:47,679
Speaker 1: of seasons. So I'm guessing it's Ebron because it's that

519
00:25:47,760 --> 00:25:50,320
Speaker 1: old target on his back mentality. He should have been

520
00:25:50,320 --> 00:25:52,280
Speaker 1: one of the best and he wasn't, so Eric Ebron.

521
00:25:52,440 --> 00:25:55,200
Speaker 1: Could you imagine being the Detroit Lions taking Eric Ebron

522
00:25:55,280 --> 00:25:58,040
Speaker 1: top ten and then about three years later saying, Okay,

523
00:25:58,040 --> 00:26:00,280
Speaker 1: that tight end didn't work in the top ten again,

524
00:26:00,359 --> 00:26:02,600
Speaker 1: let's go, Commissioner Goodell, who do you got, Let's get

525
00:26:02,600 --> 00:26:09,440
Speaker 1: the King. We're the eight pick in the twenty nineteen

526
00:26:09,560 --> 00:26:21,000
Speaker 1: NFL Draft. The Detroit Lions select T J. Hockinson. Hie. Okay,

527
00:26:21,040 --> 00:26:23,080
Speaker 1: there's no shame in guessing he run. He went tenth

528
00:26:23,240 --> 00:26:26,840
Speaker 1: overall a few years before. These guys are basically the

529
00:26:26,920 --> 00:26:29,159
Speaker 1: only ones to go in the top ten in the

530
00:26:29,240 --> 00:26:33,480
Speaker 1: last several seasons. But Howkinson went eighth overall. I don't

531
00:26:33,520 --> 00:26:36,679
Speaker 1: know Chris fan of him. I mean, he's I don't okay, career,

532
00:26:36,680 --> 00:26:38,960
Speaker 1: he's playing well for Detroit, but top eight. Yeah, it's

533
00:26:38,960 --> 00:26:42,240
Speaker 1: about position. Though great college career. I would have produced

534
00:26:42,280 --> 00:26:45,760
Speaker 1: some quality tight ends throughout the years, but the tight

535
00:26:45,880 --> 00:26:48,240
Speaker 1: ends they're not being developed there. I do believe he's

536
00:26:48,280 --> 00:26:50,960
Speaker 1: a rare, rare talent. He's got speed, he's got height,

537
00:26:51,080 --> 00:26:53,240
Speaker 1: it can run a different variation of routes and everything.

538
00:26:53,359 --> 00:26:54,560
Speaker 1: I like him, but you got to be in the

539
00:26:54,640 --> 00:26:58,000
Speaker 1: right spot. I'm in the spot of securing the bag.

540
00:26:58,040 --> 00:27:02,680
Speaker 1: Rest give me the mixed bag, all right, Kyle. Ozzie

541
00:27:02,760 --> 00:27:05,880
Speaker 1: Newsome was inducted into the Pro Football Hall of Fame

542
00:27:06,400 --> 00:27:10,479
Speaker 1: in August nineteen ninety nine. There he is. He went

543
00:27:10,520 --> 00:27:13,560
Speaker 1: in with a great class. Azzie Newsome host Saturday Night Live.

544
00:27:13,720 --> 00:27:18,199
Speaker 1: You look at Lawrence Taylor and Dickerson. Calvin Hill was

545
00:27:18,280 --> 00:27:22,480
Speaker 1: his inductee. The Wizard of Oz when the legends of

546
00:27:22,520 --> 00:27:25,600
Speaker 1: all time could go in easily as an executive as well,

547
00:27:25,920 --> 00:27:28,200
Speaker 1: one of the most decorated NFL careers of all time,

548
00:27:28,600 --> 00:27:31,000
Speaker 1: retired as a three time pro bowler with nearly eight

549
00:27:31,119 --> 00:27:35,560
Speaker 1: thousand receiving yards. Why am I showing his induction speech?

550
00:27:35,600 --> 00:27:37,919
Speaker 1: Kyle the host in the musical Guest of SNL premiere

551
00:27:37,920 --> 00:27:40,800
Speaker 1: a few weeks after Ozzie Newsome was inducted into the

552
00:27:40,880 --> 00:27:45,240
Speaker 1: Pro Football Hall of Fame, nineteen ninety nine premiere of SNL.

553
00:27:46,600 --> 00:27:51,480
Speaker 1: Seinfeld and Bowie Martin and Beck Jamie Fox in the

554
00:27:51,520 --> 00:27:54,720
Speaker 1: boy band Ohtown. We're Paul rodd in the band and

555
00:27:54,760 --> 00:27:57,120
Speaker 1: the group House of Pain are better yet a terminator

556
00:27:57,200 --> 00:27:59,320
Speaker 1: like Arnold Schwarzenegger. I don't think it was Paul rodd

557
00:27:59,320 --> 00:28:01,480
Speaker 1: on the House of Pain, Ohtown, and I want it

558
00:28:01,480 --> 00:28:05,480
Speaker 1: all or nothing at that day Liquid dreams, We're we'll

559
00:28:05,480 --> 00:28:07,040
Speaker 1: go two tracks deep. I know Tom, but it is

560
00:28:07,080 --> 00:28:10,160
Speaker 1: not them. Here's the thing, Peter nineteen ninety nine. Seinfeld

561
00:28:10,240 --> 00:28:12,280
Speaker 1: was already off the air. I don't think Seinfeld's coming

562
00:28:12,320 --> 00:28:13,879
Speaker 1: on for b movie or whatever the hell is he

563
00:28:14,160 --> 00:28:18,159
Speaker 1: going on or marriage reff. I'm gonna go Pa Martin

564
00:28:18,280 --> 00:28:22,240
Speaker 1: Lawrence with and Beck. And I think Martin Lawrence was

565
00:28:22,240 --> 00:28:26,040
Speaker 1: big enough then to yield a season premier type Marquis.

566
00:28:26,040 --> 00:28:28,400
Speaker 1: I'm going Martin Lawrence and Beck. Martin Lawrence was huge.

567
00:28:28,560 --> 00:28:33,879
Speaker 1: But the correct answer is Jerry Seinfutz and Davis Seinfeld.

568
00:28:34,040 --> 00:28:36,560
Speaker 1: He kicked off the twenty fifth season of Saturday Live.

569
00:28:36,680 --> 00:28:38,240
Speaker 1: It was it was actually in a lower because no

570
00:28:38,280 --> 00:28:40,240
Speaker 1: one had seen him. They had just walked off, and

571
00:28:40,280 --> 00:28:42,400
Speaker 1: it was like Seinfeld hoasting SNL. It was a big

572
00:28:42,400 --> 00:28:47,240
Speaker 1: deals wrapped up as Seinfeld. Among notable skits, he has

573
00:28:47,280 --> 00:28:49,120
Speaker 1: sent to prison and he plays a character in the

574
00:28:49,120 --> 00:28:51,840
Speaker 1: show odds really right. He's got a band down on

575
00:28:51,920 --> 00:28:55,680
Speaker 1: or something David BOMs Rebel Rebel. That was the song

576
00:28:55,720 --> 00:28:57,800
Speaker 1: that he played. That's cool. But this leads us to

577
00:28:57,880 --> 00:29:01,480
Speaker 1: our video clue. I was watching Joey at the time.

578
00:29:02,000 --> 00:29:04,080
Speaker 1: You were. You were at Joey Lawrence on them fremire,

579
00:29:04,520 --> 00:29:07,000
Speaker 1: I know, Matt LeBlanc. There you go. Uh. In a

580
00:29:07,160 --> 00:29:13,680
Speaker 1: famous NFL Films clip. Another clip, Shannon Shark picks up

581
00:29:13,680 --> 00:29:16,680
Speaker 1: a red phone called a national Guard. They're playing the

582
00:29:16,720 --> 00:29:21,880
Speaker 1: New England Patriots. He calls the President. Yes, who does

583
00:29:21,920 --> 00:29:25,360
Speaker 1: He ask the President to send to that to Chris.

584
00:29:25,400 --> 00:29:29,680
Speaker 1: Finish it up, baby, if you want, let's National Guard

585

Speaker 1: on the people. That was one of the best sound

586
00:29:31,640 --> 00:29:33,680
Speaker 1: bites that one. Then when he went to the Super

587
00:29:33,720 --> 00:29:40,200
Speaker 1: Bowl and um to Do from Atlanta called him, don't

588
00:29:40,400 --> 00:29:43,400
Speaker 1: mess with Shannon. He will call the National Guard on you,

589
00:29:43,520 --> 00:29:45,640

Speaker 1: Watt miked up. You just saw Shannon Sharpe putting on

611
00:31:13,240 --> 00:31:15,640
Speaker 1: a show in the sideline when players were miked up

612
00:31:15,800 --> 00:31:19,240
Speaker 1: back in when you were playing, did you did they

613
00:31:19,280 --> 00:31:23,080
Speaker 1: make you aware? Did you see more demonstrative behavior Like

614
00:31:23,120 --> 00:31:25,600
Speaker 1: I'm just what's the relationship with the microphone. You're definitely

615
00:31:25,640 --> 00:31:29,240
Speaker 1: going to see more behavior, But on our team, we

616
00:31:29,400 --> 00:31:32,880
Speaker 1: always let the guys know if we're miked up, because

617
00:31:32,960 --> 00:31:36,240
Speaker 1: especially before the game, you have some quiet situations, guys

618
00:31:36,240 --> 00:31:39,520
Speaker 1: will say things into the mic, but also guys on

619
00:31:39,560 --> 00:31:42,080
Speaker 1: the other team, they're always trying to see who has

620
00:31:42,120 --> 00:31:44,200
Speaker 1: the mic. I remember we were playing Warren Sapp and

621
00:31:44,240 --> 00:31:50,000
Speaker 1: Tampa Bay. They had up, Yeah, they had they had

622
00:31:50,040 --> 00:31:52,480
Speaker 1: drafted him, and I was talking the Sap and he

623
00:31:52,520 --> 00:31:54,720
Speaker 1: told Sap, hey, man, don't be talking to him. He's

624
00:31:54,760 --> 00:31:56,240
Speaker 1: miked up. And I said, well, they would put a

625
00:31:56,280 --> 00:31:58,400
Speaker 1: mic on you, but you ain't no dy' on good.

626
00:32:00,200 --> 00:32:03,120
Speaker 1: So we go back and forth. I love the mine,

627
00:32:03,160 --> 00:32:05,120
Speaker 1: but everyone hands it up a little bit more. That's

628
00:32:05,120 --> 00:32:09,640
Speaker 1: just expected. Um. I wouldn't say that some of these

629
00:32:09,680 --> 00:32:12,400
Speaker 1: guys is really really natural because they're gonna be talking

630
00:32:12,400 --> 00:32:20,680
Speaker 1: trash regardless. Previously on Survival, what is going on? GMFB Tribe?

631
00:32:21,400 --> 00:32:26,440
Speaker 1: Why are we all still here? Washington big second half

632
00:32:26,480 --> 00:32:30,600
Speaker 1: of Kansas City. They defeat Washington thirty one the thirteenth.

633
00:32:30,840 --> 00:32:35,760
Speaker 1: I'm picking the Steelers at home against the Geno Smith's

634
00:32:35,880 --> 00:32:46,240
Speaker 1: Seahawks and Burt Scheelers. I'm thinking the Rams over the

635
00:32:46,320 --> 00:32:52,840
Speaker 1: Giants a very impressive victory on the road. Giants took

636
00:32:52,880 --> 00:32:57,000
Speaker 1: the early lead, Ram scored the next thirty each point

637
00:32:57,040 --> 00:33:04,800
Speaker 1: school will be eliminated. Next the Game that will not die.

638
00:33:05,840 --> 00:33:09,520
Speaker 1: Good morning, Football Tribe. Still here. A little bit of

639
00:33:09,640 --> 00:33:13,200
Speaker 1: tension I sense on the set today. We will tap

640
00:33:13,280 --> 00:33:16,280
Speaker 1: into that shortly. But welcome to Survival. I'm Kyle Branton.

641
00:33:16,320 --> 00:33:19,520
Speaker 1: As you just saw last week, we all made tough

642
00:33:19,600 --> 00:33:22,320
Speaker 1: choices trying to pick the team we were most confident

643
00:33:22,400 --> 00:33:27,040
Speaker 1: to get a win, and again they all won. The

644
00:33:27,200 --> 00:33:30,760
Speaker 1: ceremonial lights. If you please behind me, you're going to

645
00:33:30,840 --> 00:33:34,960
Speaker 1: see four lights each with one of our names, k Adams, myself,

646
00:33:35,000 --> 00:33:38,400
Speaker 1: Peter Schrager, and guest hosts who unfortunately Chris Carter represents

647
00:33:38,440 --> 00:33:41,840
Speaker 1: Michael Robinson way back in September, who chose the Bills

648
00:33:41,840 --> 00:33:43,840
Speaker 1: to beat the Steelers in week when it was eliminated.

649
00:33:44,280 --> 00:33:48,720
Speaker 1: In this game, light represents life, meaning that k myself

650
00:33:48,720 --> 00:33:51,000
Speaker 1: and Peter seemed to have eternal life because as we

651
00:33:51,040 --> 00:33:52,840
Speaker 1: go into week seven, this thing was supposed to be

652
00:33:52,880 --> 00:33:55,719
Speaker 1: over in week three, and yet every single week it's

653
00:33:55,720 --> 00:33:58,000
Speaker 1: almost like we know our stuff. Guys, it's pretty impressive.

654
00:33:58,680 --> 00:34:01,400
Speaker 1: So everyone makes picks like well remain illuminated because they

655
00:34:01,480 --> 00:34:03,520
Speaker 1: keep winning. But we will move on to Week seven.

656
00:34:03,560 --> 00:34:05,720
Speaker 1: The way this works is, once again, I will draw

657
00:34:05,880 --> 00:34:08,840
Speaker 1: one name out of the ceremonial helmets. The name that

658
00:34:08,880 --> 00:34:12,640
Speaker 1: comes out gets the first pick of the field one

659
00:34:12,760 --> 00:34:15,439
Speaker 1: team that will win this week. Now, you cannot pick

660
00:34:15,480 --> 00:34:17,840
Speaker 1: a team that you've already picked. It'll be six teams

661
00:34:17,880 --> 00:34:20,239
Speaker 1: deep now, and you can't pick a team that someone

662
00:34:20,239 --> 00:34:23,000
Speaker 1: else picks this week. Let's get it on, shall we?

663
00:34:23,480 --> 00:34:26,240
Speaker 1: Who has the first pick? Peter? Do you look confident?

664
00:34:26,320 --> 00:34:29,400
Speaker 1: You look rattled, like a ghost. I'm nervous. It's like

665
00:34:29,480 --> 00:34:31,600
Speaker 1: a ghost. You're very nervous. A lot of the good

666
00:34:31,640 --> 00:34:39,080
Speaker 1: teams have been plucked. Let's find out with the first

667
00:34:39,120 --> 00:34:47,719
Speaker 1: pick of Week seven Survival. Yeah, Helmet, that's okay. That's okay.

668
00:34:47,960 --> 00:34:52,720
Speaker 1: So is Patrick Ewing fust it not have an impartial person.

669
00:34:53,880 --> 00:34:56,400
Speaker 1: It's getting to that point or we're getting dice and

670
00:34:56,600 --> 00:34:58,880
Speaker 1: we may have to have someone step in. And I

671
00:34:58,920 --> 00:35:01,799
Speaker 1: gotta tell you, I'm really pleased that my name came out,

672
00:35:01,840 --> 00:35:04,720
Speaker 1: because I'm gonna go quickly on this um. I've chosen

673
00:35:04,760 --> 00:35:07,920
Speaker 1: some good teams already have chosen Tampa. I've chosen the Chiefs,

674
00:35:08,040 --> 00:35:13,640
Speaker 1: but I'm taking the Rams at home against the Lions.

675
00:35:14,320 --> 00:35:18,319
Speaker 1: Jared Goff, be damned, I'm gonna go with Stafford. This

676
00:35:18,360 --> 00:35:20,799
Speaker 1: one is actually not that difficult that you look at it. There,

677
00:35:20,840 --> 00:35:23,759
Speaker 1: it's a four h five kickoff. There's some meat on

678
00:35:23,800 --> 00:35:26,560
Speaker 1: this bone this week, guys, Peter's going over his pick

679
00:35:26,719 --> 00:35:30,239
Speaker 1: Chris Carter and talking to It's very smart, but I

680
00:35:30,560 --> 00:35:32,920
Speaker 1: just don't see Sean McVay losing it home to the

681
00:35:33,040 --> 00:35:37,000
Speaker 1: Dan Campbell Lions. Let's find out as now the Rams

682
00:35:37,040 --> 00:35:41,720
Speaker 1: are off the board. Is it Kay or is it Peter? Okay,

683
00:35:41,800 --> 00:35:44,520
Speaker 1: you may be third here, I would have a backup plan. Well,

684
00:35:44,560 --> 00:35:46,319
Speaker 1: I like that. I don't care that you went first,

685
00:35:46,360 --> 00:35:49,239
Speaker 1: because I want one team and you've chosen that team

686
00:35:49,280 --> 00:35:53,920
Speaker 1: already with the second pick in Week seven Survival. It

687
00:35:54,080 --> 00:35:59,399
Speaker 1: is Adams. You can't pick the Rams, nor that any

688
00:35:59,400 --> 00:36:01,719
Speaker 1: of the teams you've pick before. Okay, be ninety s.

689
00:36:01,880 --> 00:36:04,560
Speaker 1: I'm gonna check with my consulting cabinet. I believe it's

690
00:36:04,640 --> 00:36:09,600
Speaker 1: Packers Washington. Okay, I'm gonna go with the Green Bay Packers.

691
00:36:09,640 --> 00:36:14,320
Speaker 1: Two teams trending in very different directions. Happens the Green

692
00:36:14,360 --> 00:36:21,360
Speaker 1: Bay Packers at home against the Taylor Hinochy Washington Rodgers.

693
00:36:21,400 --> 00:36:23,800
Speaker 1: You better win this game. I would think, you know,

694
00:36:23,840 --> 00:36:26,480
Speaker 1: I don't know if he owns Washington necessarily, but this

695
00:36:26,560 --> 00:36:29,920
Speaker 1: is a good pick, which means that p shrags. You

696
00:36:29,960 --> 00:36:32,879
Speaker 1: cannot pick Green Bay, you cannot pick the Rams. Who

697
00:36:32,920 --> 00:36:35,160
Speaker 1: would you like to pick? I'm gonna go consult with

698
00:36:35,160 --> 00:36:38,880
Speaker 1: my consiglieri from audio. This is my body with a

699
00:36:39,000 --> 00:36:46,240
Speaker 1: mask on. We're gonna take the Arizona Cardinals. The Cardinals. Wow,

700
00:36:47,000 --> 00:36:49,440
Speaker 1: Danny boy right here, that's my guy. We're going Arizona

701
00:36:49,440 --> 00:36:51,560
Speaker 1: Cardinals and we are taking them in this card bring

702
00:36:51,640 --> 00:36:53,760
Speaker 1: up the schedule. The Cardinals of course at home versus

703
00:36:53,800 --> 00:36:56,080
Speaker 1: the Texans. It's a good one. Guys. I feel like

704
00:36:56,120 --> 00:36:58,239
Speaker 1: we're breezing through the next week. These are three great

705
00:36:59,040 --> 00:37:03,359
Speaker 1: show the picks. Peter went Cardinals, Adam whose life is writer?

706
00:37:03,440 --> 00:37:07,120
Speaker 1: Adams takes the Packers, and I feel pretty good about

707
00:37:07,120 --> 00:37:09,440
Speaker 1: the Rams. Chris, what's the strongest picker? Maybe what's the

708
00:37:09,440 --> 00:37:13,719
Speaker 1: weakest of these? Well, the strongest have to be the Packers, Okay,

709
00:37:13,840 --> 00:37:18,399
Speaker 1: Presley going against the Washington the weaker I would I mean,

710
00:37:18,440 --> 00:37:21,600
Speaker 1: you all got strong picks. Yours is just marginally the

711
00:37:21,640 --> 00:37:28,960
Speaker 1: weakest of the next week, someone's finally gonna win this thing. Yeah,

712
00:37:29,000 --> 00:37:31,720
Speaker 1: our next guest is a defensive end for the jackson

713
00:37:31,719 --> 00:37:34,600
Speaker 1: Fall Jaguars, and that's great. But this story we're about

714
00:37:34,640 --> 00:37:36,600
Speaker 1: to tell has nothing really to do with what he

715
00:37:36,640 --> 00:37:40,640
Speaker 1: does on the field. Hold on, we'll explain. Joining us

716

Speaker 1: his living room. Is Duwan Smoot of the Jacksonville Jaguars

719
00:37:52,520 --> 00:37:56,959
Speaker 1: and the real star of the story his wonderful life. Yeah,

720
00:38:00,360 --> 00:38:04,359
Speaker 1: thank you, thank you. Guys. All right, the viewers at

721
00:38:04,400 --> 00:38:06,880
Speaker 1: home might not know everything that we know here, so

722
00:38:07,000 --> 00:38:09,880
Speaker 1: let's tell the story we want to know about it.

723
00:38:09,880 --> 00:38:11,919
Speaker 1: So let's take a step by step. Amari, Why don't

724
00:38:11,920 --> 00:38:14,400
Speaker 1: you first start us off and tell us how you

725
00:38:14,520 --> 00:38:17,399
Speaker 1: and your baby girl, Alannie are doing, and maybe walk

726
00:38:17,520 --> 00:38:21,120
Speaker 1: us through what happened the morning and the day before

727
00:38:21,400 --> 00:38:26,680
Speaker 1: you went into labor. Yeah, so we're doing great. Alannie

728
00:38:26,719 --> 00:38:30,839
Speaker 1: is healthy. She's actually right here sleep. She's doing good.

729
00:38:30,920 --> 00:38:34,919
Speaker 1: She's healthy. I'm healthy, and we're both happy. So that's

730
00:38:34,960 --> 00:38:39,720
Speaker 1: all we can ask for. But to tell you the story,

731
00:38:40,280 --> 00:38:43,359
Speaker 1: I'll start with the day before. So I actually went

732
00:38:43,400 --> 00:38:46,160
Speaker 1: to the coffee shop and I was doing some homework,

733
00:38:46,800 --> 00:38:51,560
Speaker 1: I ate some tacos and it was a peaceful night.

734
00:38:51,840 --> 00:38:55,400
Speaker 1: I didn't have any pain, nothing abnormal. I had just

735
00:38:55,440 --> 00:38:58,719
Speaker 1: went to the doctor that day and she checked me

736
00:38:58,760 --> 00:39:01,640
Speaker 1: and I was not dilated. It so I had no

737
00:39:01,800 --> 00:39:05,400
Speaker 1: suspicion that I would go into labor. In fact, I

738
00:39:05,440 --> 00:39:07,840
Speaker 1: wasn't expecting her for at least another week or two.

739
00:39:08,760 --> 00:39:10,799
Speaker 1: And so I went to bed that night and I

740
00:39:10,840 --> 00:39:13,960
Speaker 1: woke up around three am and went to the restroom,

741
00:39:14,920 --> 00:39:19,040
Speaker 1: and right when I finished, I felt the contractions start

742
00:39:19,239 --> 00:39:22,319
Speaker 1: and they were coming back to back, and so I

743
00:39:22,400 --> 00:39:24,120
Speaker 1: came out of the bathroom when I was kind of

744
00:39:24,160 --> 00:39:27,479
Speaker 1: bending over on the dresser, and that caused to want

745
00:39:27,480 --> 00:39:31,080
Speaker 1: to wake up, and so he started to time the

746
00:39:31,160 --> 00:39:34,880
Speaker 1: contractions and so he was like, yeah, they're about thirty

747
00:39:34,880 --> 00:39:37,959
Speaker 1: seconds long, one minute apart, So we should go ahead

748
00:39:38,000 --> 00:39:41,479
Speaker 1: and call the midwife. So we called her and she said, yeah,

749
00:39:41,560 --> 00:39:44,000
Speaker 1: go ahead and head on end to the birth center

750
00:39:44,280 --> 00:39:49,560
Speaker 1: and I'll meet you there. So before all of that happened,

751
00:39:49,680 --> 00:39:52,440
Speaker 1: I wanted to take a shower, and so I said, well,

752
00:39:52,520 --> 00:39:54,959
Speaker 1: let me take a shower and get relaxed a little

753
00:39:54,960 --> 00:39:57,600
Speaker 1: bit before we do this thing. So I get in

754
00:39:57,640 --> 00:40:00,520
Speaker 1: the shower and Right when I get in the shower,

755
00:40:00,840 --> 00:40:04,400
Speaker 1: my contraction started to get more intense. They were more painful.

756
00:40:04,880 --> 00:40:07,200
Speaker 1: So I said, okay, screw the shower, let me get out,

757
00:40:07,280 --> 00:40:09,600
Speaker 1: get dressed, and get our two year old up so

758
00:40:09,640 --> 00:40:12,239
Speaker 1: we can go. So I hop out and I put

759
00:40:12,280 --> 00:40:16,520
Speaker 1: my clothes on and we're headed out the door. So

760
00:40:16,560 --> 00:40:19,440
Speaker 1: by this time, we're in the living room and I

761
00:40:19,480 --> 00:40:23,239
Speaker 1: had the biggest contraction and it hurt really, really bad.

762
00:40:23,320 --> 00:40:26,359
Speaker 1: So I put my arms around the wand and my

763
00:40:26,600 --> 00:40:31,719
Speaker 1: legs basically start to collapse from the pain. And at

764
00:40:31,719 --> 00:40:34,200
Speaker 1: that point, I felled my body telling me to push.

765
00:40:34,880 --> 00:40:37,960
Speaker 1: So I did, and I put my hand down there

766
00:40:37,960 --> 00:40:40,399
Speaker 1: because I felt her coming, and I gave one good

767
00:40:40,440 --> 00:40:43,120
Speaker 1: push and her head popped out, and so I looked

768
00:40:43,160 --> 00:40:45,799
Speaker 1: over at the wind I was like, she's here. Yeah,

769
00:40:45,960 --> 00:40:48,480
Speaker 1: And so he put his hand on there and held

770
00:40:48,480 --> 00:40:51,200
Speaker 1: her head, and I pushed one more time and pushed

771
00:40:51,239 --> 00:40:53,279
Speaker 1: the rest of her out and I fell to my

772
00:40:53,320 --> 00:40:56,720
Speaker 1: butt and I grabbed her in my hands. Yeah. And

773
00:40:57,040 --> 00:40:59,279
Speaker 1: in the midst of all this, I'm just panicking. I

774
00:41:00,120 --> 00:41:01,440
Speaker 1: right when I put my hand into there and I

775
00:41:01,440 --> 00:41:03,279
Speaker 1: felt the baby's head, I was like, oh, yeah, she

776
00:41:03,440 --> 00:41:06,320
Speaker 1: is coming, Like we don't have any time, and literally

777
00:41:06,360 --> 00:41:10,439
Speaker 1: within ten seconds, baby just came flying out into my arms,

778
00:41:10,440 --> 00:41:13,279
Speaker 1: and my only thing was catching Maria, of course, and

779
00:41:13,560 --> 00:41:16,080
Speaker 1: to catch the baby and just make sure everyone was okay.

780
00:41:16,120 --> 00:41:19,160
Speaker 1: And like right after that, I just started hyperventilating. I

781
00:41:19,160 --> 00:41:22,319
Speaker 1: started running around the house and panicking, and Amara was

782
00:41:22,560 --> 00:41:25,480
Speaker 1: as calm as a cucumber, just sitting there like, all right,

783
00:41:25,560 --> 00:41:28,640
Speaker 1: everyone's everyone's fine, the baby's breathing. Just call nine one

784
00:41:28,960 --> 00:41:31,960
Speaker 1: and take a breath to wine. So that's that's exactly

785
00:41:32,040 --> 00:41:34,280
Speaker 1: what I did. I went to go find the phone

786
00:41:34,320 --> 00:41:37,160
Speaker 1: and I'll just telling myself to calm down, calm down,

787
00:41:37,280 --> 00:41:39,359
Speaker 1: calm down, to make this call. And when I got

788
00:41:39,400 --> 00:41:42,080
Speaker 1: on the phone with the paramedics, they were very responsive

789
00:41:42,120 --> 00:41:44,320
Speaker 1: and they gave me, gave me all the instructures I

790
00:41:44,400 --> 00:41:47,000
Speaker 1: needed to, you know, make sure Lonnie was healthy. I

Speaker 1: first want to go get a towel, and then after
