1 00:00:04,404 --> 00:00:07,244 Speaker 1: Ten Takes is a production of the NFL in partnership 2 00:00:07,284 --> 00:00:19,404 Speaker 1: with iHeartRadio. 3 00:00:24,204 --> 00:00:27,644 Speaker 2: I think Rogers' introductory press conferences are better than some 4 00:00:27,724 --> 00:00:30,284 Speaker 2: of the actual games that we have. I love it. 5 00:00:30,484 --> 00:00:32,924 Speaker 2: Remember when he comes to the Jets, he's going to Broadway. 6 00:00:32,964 --> 00:00:36,284 Speaker 3: He's doing this. There is no Broadway in Pittsburgh. He 7 00:00:36,484 --> 00:00:37,284 Speaker 3: is the Broadway. 8 00:00:37,324 --> 00:00:39,524 Speaker 2: What we saw yesterday was the closest we're going to 9 00:00:39,564 --> 00:00:41,364 Speaker 2: get to. And to that point, I want, ever want 10 00:00:41,364 --> 00:00:43,044 Speaker 2: to get really comfortable because if he didn't see it, 11 00:00:43,084 --> 00:00:45,804 Speaker 2: I have a full rundown of all of my favorites, 12 00:00:45,844 --> 00:00:47,964 Speaker 2: all of my superlative So everybody buckle up and get 13 00:00:47,964 --> 00:00:48,604 Speaker 2: your popcorn. 14 00:00:48,924 --> 00:00:52,244 Speaker 3: The most Rogers quote was quote. 15 00:00:51,884 --> 00:00:55,604 Speaker 2: The decisions made from the Soul are usually pretty fulfilling. 16 00:00:55,724 --> 00:00:57,964 Speaker 2: Only Aaron Rodgers would say that the only quarterback in 17 00:00:57,964 --> 00:01:01,244 Speaker 2: the league. Netflix already working on a documentary called Decisions 18 00:01:01,244 --> 00:01:04,084 Speaker 2: from the Soul. The most loaded quote he says, there 19 00:01:04,084 --> 00:01:07,804 Speaker 2: were talks with other organizations. I think Rogers was extremely 20 00:01:07,844 --> 00:01:09,644 Speaker 2: interested in playing for the Rams. I think it was 21 00:01:09,684 --> 00:01:12,684 Speaker 2: close to happening. It did not. The closest thing to 22 00:01:12,884 --> 00:01:16,724 Speaker 2: shade from Aaron Rodgers quote. There are some iconic franchises 23 00:01:16,764 --> 00:01:18,564 Speaker 2: in the NFL. I played for one of them for 24 00:01:18,604 --> 00:01:20,804 Speaker 2: eighteen years. This is another one. 25 00:01:20,844 --> 00:01:22,524 Speaker 3: He skipped two years in there when he played for 26 00:01:22,564 --> 00:01:23,124 Speaker 3: the Jets. 27 00:01:22,924 --> 00:01:25,004 Speaker 2: Who are not although he did say later he was 28 00:01:25,044 --> 00:01:27,164 Speaker 2: not going to take any shots in his previous organization. 29 00:01:27,564 --> 00:01:29,844 Speaker 3: This was great too, know your yensers. 30 00:01:30,364 --> 00:01:33,404 Speaker 2: He went up there and rattled off every single person 31 00:01:33,444 --> 00:01:36,404 Speaker 2: in his career who is from Pittsburgh, Mike McCarthy, Dom Caper's, 32 00:01:36,484 --> 00:01:40,364 Speaker 2: Frank Signetti, all the yensers. He had that list ready. 33 00:01:40,644 --> 00:01:42,844 Speaker 2: It endears him to the room and endears him to 34 00:01:42,884 --> 00:01:46,044 Speaker 2: the city. He did his prep for that most crafty answer, 35 00:01:46,724 --> 00:01:49,284 Speaker 2: why he wanted Why he waited to sign? You mentioned this, 36 00:01:49,724 --> 00:01:52,044 Speaker 2: mentioned deal with things in his personal life, and then 37 00:01:52,124 --> 00:01:56,884 Speaker 2: said I didn't want to shortchange the guys being signed, 38 00:01:56,964 --> 00:02:01,164 Speaker 2: but elsewhere mentally, very crafty, meaning I could have been here, 39 00:02:01,204 --> 00:02:04,204 Speaker 2: but that wouldn't have been fair to the guys. Next 40 00:02:04,524 --> 00:02:07,564 Speaker 2: his no the room answer, he used the term blue 41 00:02:07,564 --> 00:02:11,004 Speaker 2: collar three times. Blue collar town, building, the structure of 42 00:02:11,004 --> 00:02:14,484 Speaker 2: this country, blue collar people. He could have referenced Chico, 43 00:02:14,564 --> 00:02:16,404 Speaker 2: he could have referenced Green Bay, but he kept pitting 44 00:02:16,404 --> 00:02:18,524 Speaker 2: blue collar and it was smart. The one answer I 45 00:02:18,524 --> 00:02:21,004 Speaker 2: gotta call bs on when he says the thing that 46 00:02:21,084 --> 00:02:24,804 Speaker 2: excites him most about DK Metcalf as his character. Look, 47 00:02:25,404 --> 00:02:27,524 Speaker 2: I get DK Metcalf, they have some great character. 48 00:02:27,764 --> 00:02:29,644 Speaker 3: Have you ever seen him run? Here? I have seen 49 00:02:29,724 --> 00:02:30,364 Speaker 3: him jump. 50 00:02:30,604 --> 00:02:33,524 Speaker 2: That's way more exciting if you're a quarterback. I get 51 00:02:33,524 --> 00:02:36,164 Speaker 2: the character's fine, but there's no way that's what excites you. 52 00:02:36,204 --> 00:02:38,124 Speaker 3: The most best checkdown. 53 00:02:37,644 --> 00:02:40,044 Speaker 2: From Rogers, he was asked if he can get the 54 00:02:40,044 --> 00:02:42,364 Speaker 2: Steelers a playoff win for the first time in years. 55 00:02:42,364 --> 00:02:45,004 Speaker 2: He said, quote worm day one a mini camp. He 56 00:02:45,124 --> 00:02:47,164 Speaker 2: literally says, I'm taking it one day at a time, 57 00:02:47,164 --> 00:02:49,644 Speaker 2: and that's a guy who never says that. Most random 58 00:02:49,684 --> 00:02:52,604 Speaker 2: but relevant revelation in the middle of the press conference, 59 00:02:52,844 --> 00:02:55,284 Speaker 2: he hates his helmets. His old helmet he's been worried 60 00:02:55,284 --> 00:02:57,524 Speaker 2: for twenty years is now obsolete. He's not allowed to 61 00:02:57,564 --> 00:03:00,484 Speaker 2: wear it. He says, I absolutely hate this helmet. Keep 62 00:03:00,484 --> 00:03:02,244 Speaker 2: an eye on that. Wrapping up here. 63 00:03:02,284 --> 00:03:04,724 Speaker 3: His shortest answer, Aaron, do. 64 00:03:04,724 --> 00:03:08,004 Speaker 2: You have any trepidation about missing OTA's one word? 65 00:03:08,364 --> 00:03:08,524 Speaker 3: No. 66 00:03:09,204 --> 00:03:12,764 Speaker 2: His least favorite question we saw there was about freedom 67 00:03:12,844 --> 00:03:16,764 Speaker 2: to audible and quote take over the offense. He was like, 68 00:03:17,604 --> 00:03:19,764 Speaker 2: I don't really understand what that second term means. 69 00:03:19,844 --> 00:03:21,004 Speaker 3: I've done this, I've done. 70 00:03:20,884 --> 00:03:23,484 Speaker 2: That market That was the one question he hated and 71 00:03:23,524 --> 00:03:24,644 Speaker 2: does not want to be asked again. 72 00:03:24,684 --> 00:03:26,524 Speaker 3: And then lastly, you can't be. 73 00:03:26,644 --> 00:03:29,324 Speaker 2: Rogers without just throwing us one curveball or one up 74 00:03:29,364 --> 00:03:29,964 Speaker 2: high and tight. 75 00:03:30,204 --> 00:03:31,764 Speaker 3: The full spit take moment. 76 00:03:32,004 --> 00:03:35,444 Speaker 2: At eleven minutes into a thirteen minute media session, he 77 00:03:35,484 --> 00:03:37,044 Speaker 2: reveals I'm married. 78 00:03:37,244 --> 00:03:38,044 Speaker 3: I've been married for. 79 00:03:38,004 --> 00:03:40,044 Speaker 2: A couple of months, and I was like, what, We've 80 00:03:40,044 --> 00:03:43,004 Speaker 2: been following you for nearly a quarter century. We've seen 81 00:03:43,044 --> 00:03:45,604 Speaker 2: you in public relationships, and now you're just married with 82 00:03:45,644 --> 00:03:48,484 Speaker 2: a wedding ring on. There's no follow up about who 83 00:03:48,604 --> 00:03:51,844 Speaker 2: is she, where is she, what is she? There's nothing 84 00:03:51,884 --> 00:03:54,084 Speaker 2: about that. It's just all of a sudden on top 85 00:03:54,124 --> 00:03:56,204 Speaker 2: of this, I'm also married and I wear a ring 86 00:03:56,284 --> 00:03:56,724 Speaker 2: out on the. 87 00:03:56,764 --> 00:03:57,764 Speaker 3: Damn practice field. 88 00:03:57,924 --> 00:03:59,924 Speaker 2: There are people whon't want to see Rogers anymore, who 89 00:03:59,924 --> 00:04:02,284 Speaker 2: are sick of Rodgers, don't like Rogers. I will never 90 00:04:02,364 --> 00:04:04,244 Speaker 2: get sick of this. I think he's the most fascinating 91 00:04:04,324 --> 00:04:06,684 Speaker 2: athlete on the planet. Isn't even win a playoff game, 92 00:04:06,724 --> 00:04:08,444 Speaker 2: who the hell knows, but he's won for one at 93 00:04:08,524 --> 00:04:11,684 Speaker 2: media sessions. That's broad Away and pittsbrog absolutely love it. 94 00:04:12,244 --> 00:04:14,484 Speaker 2: I believe in this. I believe this is going to work. 95 00:04:14,524 --> 00:04:16,404 Speaker 2: And by work, I mean a playoff win. I don't 96 00:04:16,404 --> 00:04:18,804 Speaker 2: know if it's multiple. I think that they will, and 97 00:04:18,884 --> 00:04:20,564 Speaker 2: it's going to be really hard to get to. You 98 00:04:20,644 --> 00:04:23,764 Speaker 2: remember the schedule makers, who we love. They made the 99 00:04:23,804 --> 00:04:26,284 Speaker 2: Steelers schedule based on Rogers being on the team. 100 00:04:26,444 --> 00:04:27,524 Speaker 3: They knew, we all knew. 101 00:04:27,724 --> 00:04:30,204 Speaker 2: Do you understand, like how interesting some of these matchups 102 00:04:30,244 --> 00:04:32,324 Speaker 2: are going to be. Just Week one, he's going to 103 00:04:32,364 --> 00:04:35,164 Speaker 2: the Jets, He's going back into Matt Life. Week one, 104 00:04:35,604 --> 00:04:38,524 Speaker 2: he is also playing the Packers. He's also going back 105 00:04:38,564 --> 00:04:41,364 Speaker 2: to Soldier Field. This team, the Steelers, plays the NFC 106 00:04:41,444 --> 00:04:44,044 Speaker 2: North this year. So all those memories of Rogers versus 107 00:04:44,044 --> 00:04:47,444 Speaker 2: the Lions, Rogers versus it's all happening. Not to mention, 108 00:04:47,724 --> 00:04:50,444 Speaker 2: he faces Lamar, he faces Josh. It's like it is 109 00:04:50,484 --> 00:04:52,884 Speaker 2: going to be a huge Rogers year if he can 110 00:04:52,884 --> 00:04:55,524 Speaker 2: stay healthy. And I just think to put a bow 111 00:04:55,604 --> 00:04:58,804 Speaker 2: on last year. Last year, the Jets team was not good. 112 00:04:59,004 --> 00:05:01,964 Speaker 2: He was not an MVP level. But just before you 113 00:05:02,084 --> 00:05:03,764 Speaker 2: judge what he did last year when he could do 114 00:05:03,844 --> 00:05:08,124 Speaker 2: this year, look at last year's second half, Look at 115 00:05:08,124 --> 00:05:10,964 Speaker 2: this last seven games of Aaron Rodgers for the Jets 116 00:05:10,964 --> 00:05:13,724 Speaker 2: the last seven games of a team with an interim 117 00:05:13,724 --> 00:05:16,844 Speaker 2: head coach and a fire gm that was checked out 118 00:05:16,884 --> 00:05:20,044 Speaker 2: mentally and not involved in any of the standings conversations. 119 00:05:20,324 --> 00:05:21,804 Speaker 3: Their forty year old quarterback. 120 00:05:21,844 --> 00:05:25,084 Speaker 2: In those seven games, through thirteen touchdowns and four interceptions, 121 00:05:25,324 --> 00:05:28,964 Speaker 2: he was playing very, very well on his second year, 122 00:05:29,004 --> 00:05:31,004 Speaker 2: first year back from an achilles injury. 123 00:05:31,364 --> 00:05:32,844 Speaker 3: So I'm looking at the room. 124 00:05:32,924 --> 00:05:34,964 Speaker 2: I'm looking on how he finished last year, how he'll 125 00:05:35,004 --> 00:05:37,404 Speaker 2: be healthier this year, how his team and his coach 126 00:05:37,404 --> 00:05:39,804 Speaker 2: will be better this year. I just want to say 127 00:05:39,804 --> 00:05:42,764 Speaker 2: it again June eleventh, Play it back December eleven, Play 128 00:05:42,764 --> 00:05:43,884 Speaker 2: it back January eleventh. 129 00:05:43,964 --> 00:05:44,924 Speaker 3: I believe in this team. 130 00:05:44,964 --> 00:05:46,644 Speaker 2: I think the Steelers with Aaron Rodgers will win a 131 00:05:46,644 --> 00:05:50,204 Speaker 2: playoff game this year. You gotta sympathize with James Cook. 132 00:05:50,524 --> 00:05:53,644 Speaker 2: He's like, what do you want of me? I just 133 00:05:53,684 --> 00:05:57,884 Speaker 2: scored sixteen touchdowns. I was fantastic in the biggest game 134 00:05:57,924 --> 00:06:01,844 Speaker 2: of the year. You drafted me. I'm twenty five years old, 135 00:06:02,124 --> 00:06:04,884 Speaker 2: I'm still in my prime. I'm not too old. I'm 136 00:06:04,924 --> 00:06:08,324 Speaker 2: not hurt. You pay everybody else around me. Why don't 137 00:06:08,324 --> 00:06:08,884 Speaker 2: you love me? 138 00:06:09,164 --> 00:06:10,924 Speaker 3: It's it's I think they do love him. 139 00:06:11,324 --> 00:06:13,364 Speaker 2: I don't think they love him at fifteen million dollars 140 00:06:13,364 --> 00:06:17,204 Speaker 2: a year. And you know, we're in this era now 141 00:06:17,204 --> 00:06:19,564 Speaker 2: where the running backs it got a little steam in 142 00:06:19,564 --> 00:06:22,724 Speaker 2: their step again, and they're seeing Saquon and they're seeing 143 00:06:22,724 --> 00:06:23,524 Speaker 2: Derrick Henry, and. 144 00:06:25,244 --> 00:06:26,924 Speaker 3: You guys, aren't Saquon and Derrick Henry. 145 00:06:27,124 --> 00:06:29,564 Speaker 2: You know, there's a question about James Cook is really 146 00:06:29,604 --> 00:06:30,244 Speaker 2: really good? 147 00:06:30,844 --> 00:06:31,964 Speaker 3: Is he special? 148 00:06:32,644 --> 00:06:36,164 Speaker 2: Is he I can't imagine the Bills without him special, 149 00:06:36,484 --> 00:06:38,804 Speaker 2: because that's the only way you get that kind of money. 150 00:06:38,844 --> 00:06:41,964 Speaker 2: So it's just we're back in this running back conversation 151 00:06:42,044 --> 00:06:44,124 Speaker 2: that we've had for the last decade, which is the 152 00:06:44,524 --> 00:06:47,564 Speaker 2: what is your win above replacement? If James Cook were 153 00:06:47,604 --> 00:06:50,284 Speaker 2: to proof and disappear, does Josh Allen on the Bills 154 00:06:50,364 --> 00:06:51,364 Speaker 2: offense fall apart? 155 00:06:51,684 --> 00:06:53,804 Speaker 3: Probably not, in fact, definitely not. 156 00:06:54,364 --> 00:06:56,324 Speaker 2: But he does give it an extra own if it's 157 00:06:56,364 --> 00:06:59,404 Speaker 2: just it's a really tricky thing where he deserves it, 158 00:06:59,484 --> 00:07:02,284 Speaker 2: he's earned it, he should earn it in the future. 159 00:07:02,364 --> 00:07:03,884 Speaker 3: And yet there's still. 160 00:07:03,564 --> 00:07:06,844 Speaker 2: This sort of stigma about that position where we think 161 00:07:06,884 --> 00:07:08,764 Speaker 2: if we could get someone cheaper and they maybe not 162 00:07:08,804 --> 00:07:11,364 Speaker 2: do as great as you, but close enough. I do 163 00:07:11,404 --> 00:07:13,964 Speaker 2: think they love him, but not at this money and 164 00:07:14,124 --> 00:07:15,644 Speaker 2: the fact that he has his foot in the ground 165 00:07:15,684 --> 00:07:15,964 Speaker 2: right now. 166 00:07:15,964 --> 00:07:19,324 Speaker 3: I don't think this will be going away quickly. It's 167 00:07:19,404 --> 00:07:22,804 Speaker 3: crazy that Miles Garrett does this. I mean, it's a 168 00:07:22,844 --> 00:07:23,844 Speaker 3: really crazy thing. 169 00:07:23,884 --> 00:07:27,284 Speaker 2: And he kind of gets a pass from the media 170 00:07:27,604 --> 00:07:30,044 Speaker 2: and from the league that he. 171 00:07:30,044 --> 00:07:33,444 Speaker 3: Can just because he's that, because normally. 172 00:07:33,124 --> 00:07:35,204 Speaker 2: You can't have a pass rusher say well, I'm gonna 173 00:07:35,204 --> 00:07:35,604 Speaker 2: get him. 174 00:07:35,644 --> 00:07:36,524 Speaker 3: I'm gonna get there. 175 00:07:36,604 --> 00:07:40,444 Speaker 2: Everyone be like, oh, ah's that that shots fired. Not 176 00:07:40,484 --> 00:07:42,964 Speaker 2: only is he saying I'm gonna get him, Miles Garrett 177 00:07:43,004 --> 00:07:46,444 Speaker 2: in this era of the NFL has a running skit 178 00:07:46,964 --> 00:07:50,444 Speaker 2: where the quarterbacks are dead in his yard and they're 179 00:07:50,524 --> 00:07:53,284 Speaker 2: buried like that's an incredible thing. That's something from the 180 00:07:53,284 --> 00:07:56,084 Speaker 2: seventies that someone would have done, like Miles Garrett is 181 00:07:56,084 --> 00:07:59,284 Speaker 2: doing it in twenty twenty five, and it's just like, well, hey, 182 00:07:59,324 --> 00:08:02,244 Speaker 2: look at him. He's probably right, and why not. It's fun, 183 00:08:02,284 --> 00:08:05,684 Speaker 2: it's Halloween. It's it's that's you throwback that it otherwise 184 00:08:05,684 --> 00:08:07,724 Speaker 2: would be looked at in such bad taste. But then 185 00:08:07,804 --> 00:08:11,044 Speaker 2: he says it, we all kind of laugh. Incidentally, he 186 00:08:11,124 --> 00:08:14,484 Speaker 2: has not sacked Aaron Rodgers. He's sacked thirty one quarterbacks 187 00:08:14,524 --> 00:08:16,964 Speaker 2: in the league. He's only played Rogers once and it 188 00:08:17,004 --> 00:08:18,324 Speaker 2: was almost four years ago. 189 00:08:18,604 --> 00:08:20,124 Speaker 3: Did not sack him in that game. 190 00:08:20,644 --> 00:08:22,804 Speaker 2: So if you're the guy who has like your own 191 00:08:23,084 --> 00:08:25,484 Speaker 2: cemetery in your yard of all the great quarterbacks of 192 00:08:25,484 --> 00:08:27,804 Speaker 2: your era, it's kind of a big missing piece. But 193 00:08:27,924 --> 00:08:30,444 Speaker 2: we'll see on Halloween if he's got it there. And 194 00:08:30,764 --> 00:08:33,484 Speaker 2: in the meantime, it's just if anyone thinks, like man, 195 00:08:33,524 --> 00:08:34,124 Speaker 2: I missed the. 196 00:08:34,084 --> 00:08:35,284 Speaker 3: Old school of football. 197 00:08:35,324 --> 00:08:37,404 Speaker 2: It's not like it was to the watch Miles Garrett 198 00:08:37,444 --> 00:08:39,044 Speaker 2: and listen to what he says, because for some reason 199 00:08:39,164 --> 00:08:40,964 Speaker 2: he just gets to have a pass. He's grandfather did 200 00:08:41,124 --> 00:08:44,404 Speaker 2: go for it. Sequon is he's saying this as a goal, 201 00:08:44,524 --> 00:08:45,364 Speaker 2: which is which I love. 202 00:08:45,484 --> 00:08:46,004 Speaker 3: That's fine, he. 203 00:08:46,004 --> 00:08:48,804 Speaker 2: Should say that because he has the talent and ability 204 00:08:48,844 --> 00:08:49,324 Speaker 2: to be the best. 205 00:08:49,324 --> 00:08:50,924 Speaker 3: Ever, there's only a few people who can ever say it. 206 00:08:50,964 --> 00:08:52,364 Speaker 3: He does have the talent for it. 207 00:08:52,564 --> 00:08:54,364 Speaker 2: Of course, there's a lot of work to be done, 208 00:08:54,404 --> 00:08:57,404 Speaker 2: and you know, he's already had one major injury. He's 209 00:08:57,404 --> 00:08:59,244 Speaker 2: missed some games here, he's missed some games here, he 210 00:08:59,284 --> 00:09:02,044 Speaker 2: missed nearly an entire season. I look at a comp 211 00:09:02,084 --> 00:09:06,084 Speaker 2: outside of football for Saquon. This is how right Now 212 00:09:06,164 --> 00:09:09,204 Speaker 2: I see Saquon, I see him as Griffy. I see 213 00:09:09,284 --> 00:09:11,244 Speaker 2: him as the guy you look at you're like, oh 214 00:09:11,284 --> 00:09:11,844 Speaker 2: my god. 215 00:09:11,884 --> 00:09:12,644 Speaker 3: He is talented. 216 00:09:12,684 --> 00:09:15,324 Speaker 2: He's like the most beautiful, most talented athlete I've ever 217 00:09:15,364 --> 00:09:17,884 Speaker 2: seen in this sport. Now, if you know Griffy, he 218 00:09:18,164 --> 00:09:20,164 Speaker 2: had a lot of injury issues and then he started 219 00:09:20,164 --> 00:09:23,084 Speaker 2: bouncing around teams and he has looked at as one 220 00:09:23,084 --> 00:09:24,924 Speaker 2: of the most talented, one of the most fun to 221 00:09:24,964 --> 00:09:27,964 Speaker 2: watch players ever in baseball. But I don't think anyone's 222 00:09:28,004 --> 00:09:29,444 Speaker 2: calling Ken Griffy the goat. 223 00:09:29,804 --> 00:09:30,644 Speaker 3: It's a great goal. 224 00:09:30,724 --> 00:09:33,164 Speaker 2: I love that Saquon says this, but it's like to 225 00:09:33,244 --> 00:09:35,164 Speaker 2: say the greatest ever. I'm going to touch on what 226 00:09:35,204 --> 00:09:37,604 Speaker 2: you guys are saying. There are so many players to 227 00:09:37,764 --> 00:09:41,284 Speaker 2: run down and surpass. My personal rushmore of my lifetime 228 00:09:41,524 --> 00:09:46,284 Speaker 2: is Walter Payton, Barry Sanders, Ladanian, Tomlinson, and Marshall Falk. 229 00:09:46,564 --> 00:09:49,764 Speaker 2: Ladanian is another good comp for Saquon. Ladanian does not 230 00:09:49,804 --> 00:09:51,404 Speaker 2: get goat conversation about him. 231 00:09:51,444 --> 00:09:53,164 Speaker 3: His career was absurd. 232 00:09:53,004 --> 00:09:58,244 Speaker 2: Unbelievably productive and versatile and successful. But it's always like Barry, 233 00:09:58,924 --> 00:10:01,364 Speaker 2: Jim Brown, Walter Payton, and that's fine. I think LT 234 00:10:01,524 --> 00:10:03,484 Speaker 2: is secure with that. I just have to bring up 235 00:10:03,484 --> 00:10:05,364 Speaker 2: one more element. I don't bring it up yet. This 236 00:10:05,404 --> 00:10:06,844 Speaker 2: is a personal thing, and you guys just got to 237 00:10:06,844 --> 00:10:08,724 Speaker 2: see this, becau. It's one of my favorite things. I'm 238 00:10:08,764 --> 00:10:10,684 Speaker 2: hanging out of this event for the network like maybe 239 00:10:10,724 --> 00:10:12,924 Speaker 2: four years ago, and I played running back at a 240 00:10:13,004 --> 00:10:15,324 Speaker 2: very modest level growing up, and it's my favorite position. 241 00:10:15,364 --> 00:10:16,404 Speaker 3: And I worship these guys. 242 00:10:16,484 --> 00:10:18,964 Speaker 2: I see these five guys having a group conversation and 243 00:10:19,004 --> 00:10:21,284 Speaker 2: I do something I never do, which is, guys, I'm sorry. 244 00:10:21,324 --> 00:10:21,884 Speaker 3: Is there any way I. 245 00:10:21,884 --> 00:10:24,284 Speaker 2: Could take a picture with you? Look at this picture? 246 00:10:24,644 --> 00:10:27,764 Speaker 2: Someone is I'm gonna put this in my will. Come on, 247 00:10:28,164 --> 00:10:29,964 Speaker 2: I'm so proud of this photograph. 248 00:10:30,084 --> 00:10:31,364 Speaker 3: You have LT. 249 00:10:31,564 --> 00:10:34,084 Speaker 2: Hall of Famer, TD Hall of Famer, Saquon, I think 250 00:10:34,084 --> 00:10:35,084 Speaker 2: future Hall of Famer. 251 00:10:35,484 --> 00:10:37,244 Speaker 3: Then there's me nineteen ninety five. 252 00:10:37,124 --> 00:10:41,364 Speaker 2: Illinois States Well Mention, and then Barry Sanders Hall of Famer. 253 00:10:41,604 --> 00:10:44,004 Speaker 2: So one of those things is not like the others. 254 00:10:44,084 --> 00:10:46,164 Speaker 2: But I said it at the time, and I'll close 255 00:10:46,204 --> 00:10:48,204 Speaker 2: with this. This is like four years ago. I tweet 256 00:10:48,244 --> 00:10:50,604 Speaker 2: this picture out and I say myself with three Hall 257 00:10:50,644 --> 00:10:53,124 Speaker 2: of Famers and one future Hall of Famer and I 258 00:10:53,164 --> 00:10:55,124 Speaker 2: got destroyed by every NFL fan. 259 00:10:55,444 --> 00:10:57,124 Speaker 3: Oh say, Quad, how do you put him in the 260 00:10:57,124 --> 00:10:59,204 Speaker 3: Hall of Fame? No way, no way, he doesn't have it. 261 00:10:59,524 --> 00:11:01,924 Speaker 2: Here we are years later, and if he just keeps 262 00:11:01,924 --> 00:11:04,204 Speaker 2: doing what he's doing, he's running all the way to camp. 263 00:11:04,404 --> 00:11:07,164 Speaker 2: He will be one of the all time greats, greatest ever. 264 00:11:07,604 --> 00:11:07,924 Speaker 3: I don't know. 265 00:11:08,044 --> 00:11:09,844 Speaker 2: I'm not going to say I doubt it. It's just very, 266 00:11:09,964 --> 00:11:12,564 Speaker 2: very difficult. But I love that he wants to get 267 00:11:12,604 --> 00:11:16,444 Speaker 2: there himself. I like that Tua does this whole kind 268 00:11:16,484 --> 00:11:18,844 Speaker 2: of rant making fun of the term culture shift, and 269 00:11:18,844 --> 00:11:21,004 Speaker 2: he's like, but we're having a culture shift like that 270 00:11:21,044 --> 00:11:24,844 Speaker 2: he is, and I get it. It's what I don't 271 00:11:24,844 --> 00:11:26,964 Speaker 2: get is exactly where it's coming from. You have the 272 00:11:27,004 --> 00:11:30,364 Speaker 2: same coach, you have most of the same players, same quarterback. 273 00:11:30,404 --> 00:11:32,964 Speaker 2: Everything's going on. But I feel like the shift, and 274 00:11:33,004 --> 00:11:35,484 Speaker 2: this is positive for the Dolphins. The shift is that 275 00:11:35,684 --> 00:11:37,644 Speaker 2: there's very little heat on the Dolphins right now. And 276 00:11:37,684 --> 00:11:40,044 Speaker 2: that's the shift because the last couple of years, it's Dolphins. 277 00:11:40,084 --> 00:11:41,044 Speaker 3: They're the next big thing. 278 00:11:41,244 --> 00:11:43,884 Speaker 2: They score seventy points in a game that's gone, and 279 00:11:43,924 --> 00:11:46,804 Speaker 2: I think that's good. Now everyone's saying the Patriots have next, 280 00:11:47,164 --> 00:11:48,884 Speaker 2: or the Jets are serious now. 281 00:11:48,964 --> 00:11:49,244 Speaker 3: It's so. 282 00:11:49,684 --> 00:11:52,124 Speaker 2: I actually like the where the Dolphins are this year 283 00:11:52,124 --> 00:11:54,124 Speaker 2: because they are very talented and they are very good, 284 00:11:54,524 --> 00:11:58,324 Speaker 2: but no one's talking about him. That guy the bloom 285 00:11:58,404 --> 00:11:59,004 Speaker 2: is off the roads. 286 00:11:59,084 --> 00:11:59,564 Speaker 3: We get it. 287 00:11:59,564 --> 00:12:03,004 Speaker 2: He's quirky and wear's cool sunglasses, and I think nationally 288 00:12:03,164 --> 00:12:06,284 Speaker 2: everyone's like, eh, Mike McDaniel, yesterday's. 289 00:12:05,764 --> 00:12:07,124 Speaker 3: News, Tyreek. 290 00:12:07,884 --> 00:12:10,124 Speaker 2: Maybe he's in the back half of his career now too. 291 00:12:10,364 --> 00:12:12,924 Speaker 2: Can't count on all the things that were being triumphed 292 00:12:12,964 --> 00:12:15,364 Speaker 2: about the Dolphins the last couple of years are now 293 00:12:15,444 --> 00:12:17,844 Speaker 2: being passed on to some of their competitors, and I 294 00:12:17,884 --> 00:12:19,724 Speaker 2: think that is a good thing from the Dolphins. 295 00:12:19,764 --> 00:12:20,764 Speaker 3: Don't be a front runner. 296 00:12:20,924 --> 00:12:22,564 Speaker 2: It's the team we tune in in this fall and 297 00:12:22,564 --> 00:12:25,044 Speaker 2: we're like, wow, Dolphins are five and two. They're playing 298 00:12:25,084 --> 00:12:26,884 Speaker 2: good ball, and I think that's a good spot for them. 299 00:12:27,964 --> 00:12:31,484 Speaker 2: My word for the twenty twenty five Jets clean, It's 300 00:12:31,524 --> 00:12:32,484 Speaker 2: just gonna be clean. 301 00:12:32,644 --> 00:12:33,684 Speaker 3: What do I mean by that? 302 00:12:33,844 --> 00:12:35,804 Speaker 2: The head coach is not gonna be fired, The GM 303 00:12:35,884 --> 00:12:38,004 Speaker 2: is not going to be fired. You have a quarterback 304 00:12:38,044 --> 00:12:40,524 Speaker 2: who is not going to say squat, nor is he 305 00:12:40,564 --> 00:12:42,684 Speaker 2: going to bring in his favorite wide receiver in the 306 00:12:42,684 --> 00:12:44,484 Speaker 2: middle of the season. The Jets aren' going to trade 307 00:12:44,484 --> 00:12:45,844 Speaker 2: for DJ Moore from the Bears to get him. 308 00:12:45,844 --> 00:12:47,084 Speaker 3: To justify it, It's just. 309 00:12:47,084 --> 00:12:49,804 Speaker 2: Gonna be football. I don't know if they're gonna win. 310 00:12:50,124 --> 00:12:52,444 Speaker 2: I don't know if they're gonna lose. It's just gonna 311 00:12:52,444 --> 00:12:56,564 Speaker 2: be a good meat and potatoes football season with no bs, 312 00:12:56,604 --> 00:12:59,244 Speaker 2: no studying. Hey wait, did the quarterback push away the 313 00:12:59,284 --> 00:13:00,684 Speaker 2: coach on the sideline when he went. 314 00:13:00,604 --> 00:13:01,164 Speaker 3: To hug him? 315 00:13:01,244 --> 00:13:04,924 Speaker 2: None of that stuff. It is just nice and and. 316 00:13:04,924 --> 00:13:06,604 Speaker 3: I think that's exactly what the Jets fans. 317 00:13:06,644 --> 00:13:18,204 Speaker 1: Tam Ten Takes is a production of the NFL in 318 00:13:18,284 --> 00:13:22,524 Speaker 1: partnership with iHeartRadio.
