00:00:04,428 --> 00:00:06,628
Speaker 1: Good Morning Football is the production of the NFL in

2
00:00:06,708 --> 00:00:26,908
Speaker 1: partnership with iHeartRadio. Welcome to Good Morning Football. We are

3
00:00:26,908 --> 00:00:29,468
Speaker 1: alive here in New York City. It's Wednesday, September seventh.

4
00:00:29,468 --> 00:00:31,668
Speaker 1: My name is Jamie Urdall. One side Kyle Brant, Peter

5
00:00:31,708 --> 00:00:36,028
Speaker 1: Schreeger and a Super Bowl champion Jason mccordy. What's your

6
00:00:36,028 --> 00:00:39,548
Speaker 1: biggest beef heading into Week one? It's got a question, dujure,

7
00:00:39,708 --> 00:00:42,468
Speaker 1: what's your beef? You know what? When the Rams beat

8
00:00:42,508 --> 00:00:44,428
Speaker 1: the Saints in the Nancy championsh Game a few years ago,

9
00:00:44,468 --> 00:00:46,708
Speaker 1: everyone forgot the Ram fame and everyone just remembered the

10
00:00:46,708 --> 00:00:49,628
Speaker 1: pass interference non called Ruby Coleman and no one forgets,

11
00:00:50,148 --> 00:00:52,068
Speaker 1: you know, And then hindsight it's like that, but that

12
00:00:52,268 --> 00:00:54,548
Speaker 1: the Rams didn't have the ball in overtime first, and

13
00:00:54,588 --> 00:00:56,988
Speaker 1: that the Rams came back from thirteen points down, and

14
00:00:57,028 --> 00:00:59,028
Speaker 1: that they were It's always about the passive. I think

15
00:00:59,068 --> 00:01:02,788
Speaker 1: the revisionist history always bothered the Rams. I wonder if

16
00:01:02,788 --> 00:01:05,428
Speaker 1: their visionist history of last year's A round is bothering

17
00:01:05,428 --> 00:01:07,588
Speaker 1: the Chiefs quite a bit ahead, the Bills were not

18
00:01:07,748 --> 00:01:11,948
Speaker 1: robbed of anything. With thirteen seconds left, the Bills, with

19
00:01:12,028 --> 00:01:15,508
Speaker 1: the number one defense in the league was unable to

20
00:01:15,828 --> 00:01:19,148
Speaker 1: stop Patrick Mahomes and the Chiefs. The Bills with a

21
00:01:19,228 --> 00:01:23,508
Speaker 1: defensive head coach in Sean McDermott, the Bills with Leslie Frasier,

22
00:01:23,668 --> 00:01:27,308
Speaker 1: defensive legend as a defensive coordinator, The Bills with all

23
00:01:27,348 --> 00:01:30,188
Speaker 1: of their talent on defense, and those mighty corners and

24
00:01:30,188 --> 00:01:34,828
Speaker 1: those amazing safeties. Let Patrick Mahomes come right down the

25
00:01:34,868 --> 00:01:38,388
Speaker 1: field in thirteen seconds and send the game to overtime.

26
00:01:38,788 --> 00:01:40,668
Speaker 1: My beef, now that we're a day away from the

27
00:01:40,748 --> 00:01:43,148
Speaker 1: NFL season, is that that game has looked back pond

28
00:01:43,308 --> 00:01:48,748
Speaker 1: as some amazing historic error in history because the Bills

29
00:01:48,748 --> 00:01:52,388
Speaker 1: didn't get a chance in overtime to match Patrick Mahomes. Now,

30
00:01:52,668 --> 00:01:56,228
Speaker 1: the Bills were up thirteen, Bills were up three points

31
00:01:56,268 --> 00:02:00,068
Speaker 1: with thirteen seconds left to go, and guess what defense matters.

32
00:02:00,188 --> 00:02:02,428
Speaker 1: You could have swiped the kick. You could have stopped

33
00:02:02,428 --> 00:02:05,308
Speaker 1: Tyreek kill. You could have made one play. My beef

34
00:02:05,508 --> 00:02:08,188
Speaker 1: is how we look back at history, My beef, I

35
00:02:08,188 --> 00:02:09,748
Speaker 1: could have went so many ways. I have a lot

36
00:02:09,748 --> 00:02:12,708
Speaker 1: of beef. I mean, Todd Bowles told us what he's

37
00:02:12,708 --> 00:02:14,508
Speaker 1: listening to the station, but he didn't tell us what

38
00:02:14,548 --> 00:02:16,628
Speaker 1: his favorite songs were. So that could have possibly been

39
00:02:16,668 --> 00:02:20,188
Speaker 1: my beef. Last week, my appendance decided it didn't want

40
00:02:20,188 --> 00:02:23,148
Speaker 1: to be in my body anymore. Yeah, that like we

41
00:02:23,228 --> 00:02:25,508
Speaker 1: could have had beef there, But for me, the New

42
00:02:25,588 --> 00:02:30,388
Speaker 1: England Patriots this week traveled down to Miami yesterday. My

43
00:02:30,428 --> 00:02:33,148
Speaker 1: beef is with Bill Belichick. Why when I was with

44
00:02:33,228 --> 00:02:35,548
Speaker 1: the New England Patriots, why couldn't we spend a week

45
00:02:35,668 --> 00:02:38,508
Speaker 1: in sunny South Florida. We played him in December A

46
00:02:38,548 --> 00:02:42,028
Speaker 1: bunch of times. It's twenty degrees feels like negative sometimes

47
00:02:42,028 --> 00:02:45,028
Speaker 1: out there in New England. I wanted to travel to

48
00:02:45,228 --> 00:02:48,348
Speaker 1: Miami to South Beach to play the Dolphins. Got a

49
00:02:48,428 --> 00:02:50,668
Speaker 1: chance to spend last year out there. In my career,

50
00:02:50,908 --> 00:02:55,828
Speaker 1: the amount of restaurants, the beach, the scene, everything that

51
00:02:55,868 --> 00:02:58,108
Speaker 1: could have been me. So as I look back and

52
00:02:58,228 --> 00:02:59,948
Speaker 1: I'm looking at this week, I'm like, hey, what what

53
00:03:00,148 --> 00:03:02,108
Speaker 1: is my beef about? All the news cycle? The thing

54
00:03:02,188 --> 00:03:04,308
Speaker 1: that stuck out to me most. Talked to my brother

55
00:03:04,468 --> 00:03:06,588
Speaker 1: this week, it was just like, yeah, Tuesday, we're heading

56
00:03:06,628 --> 00:03:09,068
Speaker 1: down to Miami. He was like, man, we're gonna be practicing.

57
00:03:09,108 --> 00:03:11,348
Speaker 1: It's gonna be so hot out. I was like, yeah,

58
00:03:11,428 --> 00:03:14,028
Speaker 1: she's gonna be in Miami. It's probably gonna be raining

59
00:03:14,068 --> 00:03:17,988
Speaker 1: in Foxboro's gonna be gray, and the sunny skies. He

60
00:03:17,988 --> 00:03:20,188
Speaker 1: can go spend a day at the beach. But in

61
00:03:20,308 --> 00:03:22,628
Speaker 1: my days, those three years in New England, I'm looking

62
00:03:22,668 --> 00:03:23,988
Speaker 1: back and I'm just pissed off I didn't get to

63
00:03:23,988 --> 00:03:26,308
Speaker 1: spend that week. Maybe it was you. Maybe Belichick was

64
00:03:26,348 --> 00:03:28,068
Speaker 1: trying to keep you for Maybe he know if I

65
00:03:28,068 --> 00:03:30,068
Speaker 1: had those South Florida streets, I wouldn't have been ready

66
00:03:30,068 --> 00:03:32,428
Speaker 1: for the game. So now my wife wouldn't allow him

67
00:03:32,428 --> 00:03:35,068
Speaker 1: to happen. No, speaking of love, all children should be loved.

68
00:03:35,348 --> 00:03:37,908
Speaker 1: I believe that, and we I feel like we have

69
00:03:38,028 --> 00:03:40,428
Speaker 1: thirty two children here on the show, and you know,

70
00:03:40,508 --> 00:03:43,428
Speaker 1: like real children. Sometimes there's the mama's boys, sometimes there's

71
00:03:43,468 --> 00:03:45,148
Speaker 1: the one needs a little extra tough love. Sometimes you

72
00:03:45,268 --> 00:03:47,468
Speaker 1: butt heads with him. But the thirty two teams are

73
00:03:47,468 --> 00:03:49,348
Speaker 1: our thirty two children, and some of them went on

74
00:03:49,468 --> 00:03:52,308
Speaker 1: loved in all the predictions this week, all the predictions

75
00:03:52,348 --> 00:03:53,988
Speaker 1: that are going on right now, I have developed a

76
00:03:54,068 --> 00:03:57,508
Speaker 1: collection of teams that are getting no love, yea, And

77
00:03:57,548 --> 00:04:00,068
Speaker 1: that that doesn't mean just us. This is my informal

78
00:04:00,108 --> 00:04:02,788
Speaker 1: searching around the internet and every and you might tell

79
00:04:02,788 --> 00:04:05,148
Speaker 1: me some FM radio showed down and Water Florida. No,

80
00:04:05,228 --> 00:04:06,908
Speaker 1: they love the Lions. Okay, well I haven't heard that one.

81
00:04:07,308 --> 00:04:12,388
Speaker 1: That's Bears, Lions, Texans, Giants, Falcons. I see no one,

82
00:04:12,948 --> 00:04:15,188
Speaker 1: never mind win in the division. I see no one's

83
00:04:15,268 --> 00:04:17,668
Speaker 1: saying that these guys are gonna scrap and call with

84
00:04:17,708 --> 00:04:19,388
Speaker 1: a wild card. Now look at what we got going

85
00:04:19,388 --> 00:04:20,908
Speaker 1: on here. And the Bears you got a ton of

86
00:04:20,988 --> 00:04:23,748
Speaker 1: unknown with a brand new head coach. And the Lions,

87
00:04:23,788 --> 00:04:25,588
Speaker 1: we just got an informercial about what they got going on.

88
00:04:25,628 --> 00:04:28,708
Speaker 1: It seems like a lot of positive things. Nobody cares. Texans,

89
00:04:29,108 --> 00:04:33,508
Speaker 1: new head coach, tons of chains, Giants, new head coach,

90
00:04:33,668 --> 00:04:36,988
Speaker 1: healthy Saquon Falcons, new quarter, so much change, and then

91
00:04:36,988 --> 00:04:39,788
Speaker 1: no one's scratching it at all. And listen, I didn't

92
00:04:39,788 --> 00:04:42,748
Speaker 1: pick any of those teams, but I can't pick every team.

93
00:04:42,788 --> 00:04:44,508
Speaker 1: I had the Panthers win in the NFC South. I

94
00:04:44,548 --> 00:04:47,148
Speaker 1: did my job, and it really bothers me. Again. It

95
00:04:47,228 --> 00:04:50,468
Speaker 1: always comes back to this. Last year, the Cincinnati Bengals

96
00:04:50,508 --> 00:04:52,908
Speaker 1: were in the Super Bowl, and I guarantee they would

97
00:04:52,908 --> 00:04:54,468
Speaker 1: have been on that list too. The nobody loves this list.

98
00:04:54,548 --> 00:04:57,308
Speaker 1: Nobody was picking the Bengals to do squat last year.

99
00:04:57,508 --> 00:04:59,748
Speaker 1: One of those teams likely the way the NFL goes

100
00:05:00,028 --> 00:05:02,468
Speaker 1: the last first thing, the oh my god, this team

101
00:05:02,588 --> 00:05:04,948
Speaker 1: one of those teams is likely and be like, oh

102
00:05:04,988 --> 00:05:07,268
Speaker 1: my god, who made the walk and nobody's picking him.

103
00:05:07,348 --> 00:05:09,508
Speaker 1: So I would just say those six teams, it's on

104
00:05:09,588 --> 00:05:12,028
Speaker 1: a tea for you. Tee it up and hit the

105
00:05:12,108 --> 00:05:14,148
Speaker 1: crap out of it off the first tea. All you

106
00:05:14,188 --> 00:05:16,668
Speaker 1: coached Alley Quarters because no one thinks you're gonna do

107
00:05:16,748 --> 00:05:20,588
Speaker 1: squat this year. Dan Campbell, love you Smith, Matt Eberflus,

108
00:05:20,908 --> 00:05:23,588
Speaker 1: up and down the list, Robert Sala, all of you guys.

109
00:05:23,588 --> 00:05:26,068
Speaker 1: Who are these great dudes who put all the work squat.

110
00:05:26,148 --> 00:05:28,228
Speaker 1: Nobody loves this list, and I hope those teams all

111
00:05:28,508 --> 00:05:30,628
Speaker 1: be our big winners that wrong prove us wrong. They

112
00:05:30,628 --> 00:05:32,868
Speaker 1: love the sung. I would love one of those teams.

113
00:05:32,908 --> 00:05:35,268
Speaker 1: Oh my god, they're in the playoffs. So um, my

114
00:05:35,348 --> 00:05:37,548
Speaker 1: daughter Brooke was here the other day and she didn't,

115
00:05:37,588 --> 00:05:39,948
Speaker 1: you know, take the train in herself. My husband brought

116
00:05:39,948 --> 00:05:41,628
Speaker 1: her in and he was after the society doesn't like

117
00:05:41,668 --> 00:05:43,308
Speaker 1: to be on television, but doesn't mean I can't talk

118
00:05:43,308 --> 00:05:45,988
Speaker 1: about him on television, you guys, I haven't admission last night.

119
00:05:46,108 --> 00:05:48,348
Speaker 1: My beef is the fact that it's with myself. I

120
00:05:48,508 --> 00:05:52,868
Speaker 1: married three fantasy team league guy. What does that mean?

121
00:05:52,948 --> 00:05:54,708
Speaker 1: And guess what? Guess what the worst beef of it

122
00:05:54,748 --> 00:05:59,228
Speaker 1: all is all drafts are tonight. They all are tonight,

123
00:06:03,148 --> 00:06:05,748
Speaker 1: same time, nice Walster trader with people, and you know

124
00:06:05,788 --> 00:06:07,428
Speaker 1: what this is how this went down. I'm laying a

125
00:06:07,428 --> 00:06:09,188
Speaker 1: bill asked. I'm like, oh, I gotta figure out someone.

126
00:06:09,188 --> 00:06:10,948
Speaker 1: What's my beef with the NFL right now? He goes,

127
00:06:10,988 --> 00:06:13,228
Speaker 1: you know, my beef ist, I have three drafts tomorrow

128
00:06:13,308 --> 00:06:15,788
Speaker 1: night at the same time. And I sat up and

129
00:06:15,828 --> 00:06:18,108
Speaker 1: I was like, you are the problem. You are what

130
00:06:18,228 --> 00:06:20,388
Speaker 1: we have been talking about in the show all week long.

131
00:06:20,468 --> 00:06:22,548
Speaker 1: And here's here's the third worst part of it. He

132
00:06:22,628 --> 00:06:25,788
Speaker 1: wins all of them. He's got these obnoxious little trophies

133
00:06:25,828 --> 00:06:28,028
Speaker 1: everywhere in his office and they're all in his zoom background.

134
00:06:28,148 --> 00:06:30,148
Speaker 1: He got this cowboy hat and then he's got to

135
00:06:30,148 --> 00:06:32,548
Speaker 1: ship them. I gotta ship this trophy. His brother from

136
00:06:32,588 --> 00:06:35,588
Speaker 1: last year, like he's that guy. I seemed like a

137
00:06:38,228 --> 00:06:43,228
Speaker 1: second three his family, my family, it's cute. And then

138
00:06:43,228 --> 00:06:45,588
Speaker 1: his buddy's from Michigan. I just like, oh my got

139
00:06:45,668 --> 00:06:48,508
Speaker 1: three family three Draft tonight then tonight at the same time.

140
00:06:49,868 --> 00:06:52,788
Speaker 1: The twenty twenty two season kicks off tomorrow, and we

141
00:06:52,828 --> 00:06:55,028
Speaker 1: could not be more excited. It is time to reveal

142
00:06:55,108 --> 00:06:58,228
Speaker 1: some of our biggest predictions for this season. With Prediction Week.

143
00:06:58,268 --> 00:07:00,388
Speaker 1: We are rolling through it. We are committing to things

144
00:07:00,468 --> 00:07:02,668
Speaker 1: left and right. So far, we've broken down our picks

145
00:07:02,668 --> 00:07:05,268
Speaker 1: for offensive and defensive rookies of the Year, the teams

146
00:07:05,268 --> 00:07:07,468
Speaker 1: we think are headed to the playoffs, and our MVP.

147
00:07:07,628 --> 00:07:09,748
Speaker 1: We're gonna keep our predictions coming out with our picks.

148
00:07:09,748 --> 00:07:12,988
Speaker 1: We're defensive Player of the Year. Peter, you've been on

149
00:07:13,028 --> 00:07:15,388
Speaker 1: a role, Yeah, you are right. Do you want to hit?

150
00:07:15,388 --> 00:07:17,308
Speaker 1: Do you want to bat? Leadoff? Every time you want to? Okay,

151
00:07:17,548 --> 00:07:19,428
Speaker 1: gutting leadoff? I feel like it starts us off because

152
00:07:19,468 --> 00:07:21,668
Speaker 1: usually I go way outside the box or I'm trying

153
00:07:21,668 --> 00:07:23,308
Speaker 1: to make a statement. I'm trying to give you a

154
00:07:23,388 --> 00:07:25,868
Speaker 1: reader and the viewer something to really hang on to.

155
00:07:26,068 --> 00:07:27,908
Speaker 1: This one won't leadoff it or will You'll be channeling

156
00:07:27,948 --> 00:07:31,868
Speaker 1: Oh Vince Coleman. Coleman can run. Let's go run to

157
00:07:31,948 --> 00:07:33,748
Speaker 1: the table with this one. Because I don't have a

158
00:07:33,868 --> 00:07:36,028
Speaker 1: dramatic answer, I don't have an interesting one. I just

159
00:07:36,108 --> 00:07:38,268
Speaker 1: have the right one. Aaron Donald, you Defensive Player of

160
00:07:38,308 --> 00:07:40,188
Speaker 1: the Year. I'm so sorry viewers if you're looking for

161
00:07:40,268 --> 00:07:43,028
Speaker 1: some crazy pick and this is gonna be a third

162
00:07:43,388 --> 00:07:45,708
Speaker 1: a Nickel corner on the Lions. Who's gonna into the

163
00:07:45,708 --> 00:07:48,548
Speaker 1: player there? It's not Kyle. We often talk about this that,

164
00:07:48,748 --> 00:07:51,668
Speaker 1: you know, Charles Barkley won the MVP at ninety three,

165
00:07:51,748 --> 00:07:54,148
Speaker 1: and Malone won it another year, and probably and and

166
00:07:54,908 --> 00:07:57,348
Speaker 1: Robinson wanted one year, but like probably could have been

167
00:07:57,428 --> 00:08:00,508
Speaker 1: Jordan every year year. Aaron Donald could be the defensive

168
00:08:00,508 --> 00:08:02,708
Speaker 1: player there every year. And I think he came back

169
00:08:02,788 --> 00:08:05,028
Speaker 1: for a reason. He's not done. Yetywe another bite at

170
00:08:05,028 --> 00:08:07,268
Speaker 1: the Apple. He got this new contract. Like you know,

171
00:08:07,348 --> 00:08:09,268
Speaker 1: people are really upset that, like what happened with the

172
00:08:09,308 --> 00:08:11,948
Speaker 1: helmet and the Bengals at the joint practice, And I

173
00:08:12,028 --> 00:08:14,388
Speaker 1: was upset too. It seems like that was really beneath

174
00:08:14,468 --> 00:08:16,228
Speaker 1: him and that's not something you should ever be doing.

175
00:08:16,268 --> 00:08:19,228
Speaker 1: It uncouth and it was quite frankly dangerous and dumb.

176
00:08:19,468 --> 00:08:22,988
Speaker 1: But that's Aaron Donald's kind of like level where he

177
00:08:23,068 --> 00:08:25,548
Speaker 1: plays at he clicks the switch and he goes after it.

178
00:08:25,588 --> 00:08:27,428
Speaker 1: I think he's gonna do it this way. Aaron Donald.

179
00:08:27,508 --> 00:08:29,268
Speaker 1: Not much build up, guys, just the obviously, it was

180
00:08:29,308 --> 00:08:33,988
Speaker 1: a nice single thought. There's another guy who looks great

181
00:08:34,028 --> 00:08:39,028
Speaker 1: without his shirt as well, Males Garrett. As guy's doing

182
00:08:39,108 --> 00:08:41,988
Speaker 1: when Male dunce, he's doing all the type of athletic things.

183
00:08:42,228 --> 00:08:44,788
Speaker 1: But Males Garrett is prime career year last year at

184
00:08:44,868 --> 00:08:48,148
Speaker 1: sixteen and a half sacks, and it's just his time.

185
00:08:48,228 --> 00:08:51,228
Speaker 1: We've seen him dominate, see him throw grown men off

186
00:08:51,308 --> 00:08:54,428
Speaker 1: of him and makes some incredible sacks. I feel like

187
00:08:54,988 --> 00:08:57,148
Speaker 1: he hasn't gotten to talk because it was so much

188
00:08:57,228 --> 00:09:00,508
Speaker 1: going on in Cleveland. The guy defeats a triple team

189
00:09:00,628 --> 00:09:04,308
Speaker 1: here to get a sack on Lamar Jackson. This year,

190
00:09:04,428 --> 00:09:07,548
Speaker 1: year it will be Miles Garrett because he's going to

191
00:09:07,708 --> 00:09:11,748
Speaker 1: take the next step in his career. Miles Garrett is

192
00:09:11,868 --> 00:09:16,388
Speaker 1: going to be your defensive player of excited to see.

193
00:09:17,388 --> 00:09:19,108
Speaker 1: Yes we have that. It's fine. This is the year,

194
00:09:19,228 --> 00:09:21,988
Speaker 1: all right. So you you got the established star, the

195
00:09:22,028 --> 00:09:23,948
Speaker 1: one whoever wants let's go, let's go. I'm gonna pick

196
00:09:24,028 --> 00:09:26,908
Speaker 1: someone who's going to have the big time breakout season.

197
00:09:27,188 --> 00:09:29,348
Speaker 1: My guy kind of just hanging out there right in

198
00:09:29,388 --> 00:09:31,188
Speaker 1: the in the NFL Top one hundred. He's around in

199
00:09:31,268 --> 00:09:34,628
Speaker 1: the fifties somewhere. His sack numbers each the last few

200
00:09:34,708 --> 00:09:37,868
Speaker 1: years fine, nothing crazy, not sixteen seventeen, but right there.

201
00:09:38,068 --> 00:09:39,988
Speaker 1: And he's on a super glamorous team. Is gonna have

202
00:09:40,028 --> 00:09:41,428
Speaker 1: a lot of eyeballs, and he has a lot of

203
00:09:41,468 --> 00:09:44,108
Speaker 1: weapons around him. I predict that the NFL Defensive Player

204
00:09:44,108 --> 00:09:45,868
Speaker 1: of the Year is gonna go down Fury Road, and

205
00:09:45,908 --> 00:09:49,868
Speaker 1: I'm going with mad Max Crosby. Yes, like Raiders. I

206
00:09:49,988 --> 00:09:52,468
Speaker 1: think we are willing to have a breakout year for

207
00:09:52,588 --> 00:09:54,988
Speaker 1: this guy. I think the sack numbers will be there.

208
00:09:55,228 --> 00:09:57,428
Speaker 1: I think the scoop and score type highlights that you

209
00:09:57,508 --> 00:09:59,268
Speaker 1: need to win defensive Player of the Year. And I

210
00:09:59,348 --> 00:10:01,868
Speaker 1: think the eyeballs. You know, Peter Aaron Donal's gonna play

211
00:10:01,868 --> 00:10:03,908
Speaker 1: tomorrow night. He could win the thing tomorrow night if

212
00:10:03,948 --> 00:10:05,748
Speaker 1: he has four sacks in that game. I don't know

213
00:10:05,748 --> 00:10:07,748
Speaker 1: if you can run him down. Max Crosby is now

214
00:10:07,828 --> 00:10:09,428
Speaker 1: in one of the most high profile teams in the

215
00:10:09,628 --> 00:10:11,548
Speaker 1: entire league, with the new coach and the new weapons,

216
00:10:11,788 --> 00:10:13,748
Speaker 1: and we've always loved them for the last few years.

217
00:10:14,028 --> 00:10:16,028
Speaker 1: I think this is the are he becomes a household name.

218
00:10:16,188 --> 00:10:18,588
Speaker 1: I really do him and Chandler Jones like he can't

219
00:10:18,628 --> 00:10:20,388
Speaker 1: block them all. And I think Crosby is gonna just

220
00:10:20,428 --> 00:10:23,508
Speaker 1: absolutely Rex Shop love Max Crosby, two Xes and Max,

221
00:10:23,588 --> 00:10:25,308
Speaker 1: that's how extreme he is. I think by the end

222
00:10:25,308 --> 00:10:27,068
Speaker 1: of this season there's gonna be about fifteen sacks and

223
00:10:27,108 --> 00:10:29,828
Speaker 1: defensive players. You guys, we were on an incredible clip

224
00:10:29,908 --> 00:10:32,588
Speaker 1: to have all these picks and we are not overlapping whatsoever.

225
00:10:32,708 --> 00:10:34,308
Speaker 1: And I think the most stress I ever just got

226
00:10:34,348 --> 00:10:36,428
Speaker 1: was the way you started off on that description, because

227
00:10:36,468 --> 00:10:39,468
Speaker 1: it felt very parely similar to my guy on a

228
00:10:39,628 --> 00:10:43,668
Speaker 1: very glamorous team. His sack numbers have been increasing every season,

229
00:10:43,988 --> 00:10:46,108
Speaker 1: but Mad Max doesn't have a brother that plays in

230
00:10:46,148 --> 00:10:48,348
Speaker 1: the NFL, right, because I'm gonna go with one Nick

231
00:10:51,028 --> 00:10:54,268
Speaker 1: as your defensive player of the Year. Two years ago,

232
00:10:54,268 --> 00:10:56,988
Speaker 1: a week two, we were absolutely gut wrenched, heart broken

233
00:10:57,028 --> 00:10:59,388
Speaker 1: for Nick Closa when he tears his ACL. He had

234
00:10:59,468 --> 00:11:02,508
Speaker 1: a grueling path back to the NFL twenty twenty one.

235
00:11:02,708 --> 00:11:05,948
Speaker 1: On real numbers, he finishes four earth in sacks in

236
00:11:06,028 --> 00:11:08,108
Speaker 1: the NFL, with fifteen and a half second in sack

237
00:11:08,228 --> 00:11:11,108
Speaker 1: yards at one hundred and twenty two, tied in the

238
00:11:11,268 --> 00:11:15,388
Speaker 1: league top for tackles for loss with one t J. Watt.

239
00:11:15,708 --> 00:11:18,828
Speaker 1: They both had twenty one. The numbers they are growing,

240
00:11:19,108 --> 00:11:21,708
Speaker 1: they are increasing, And if I have to really base

241
00:11:21,828 --> 00:11:25,228
Speaker 1: my logic on anything, it's what George Kittle told Roger

242
00:11:25,348 --> 00:11:28,668
Speaker 1: Richard Sherman on his podcast earlier this week. He's just

243
00:11:28,868 --> 00:11:31,828
Speaker 1: a mass of humanity. His quads are the size of

244
00:11:31,948 --> 00:11:34,468
Speaker 1: my core. And that is someone that I can write

245
00:11:34,508 --> 00:11:36,748
Speaker 1: home about for being Defensive Player of the Year. And

246
00:11:36,868 --> 00:11:40,748
Speaker 1: Nick Bosa, Nick Bosa tasty week one too. Justin fields,

247
00:11:40,828 --> 00:11:42,988
Speaker 1: you know, like we know what they went through last year. Peter,

248
00:11:43,028 --> 00:11:44,308
Speaker 1: how do you see the field here? Though? I love

249
00:11:44,348 --> 00:11:46,268
Speaker 1: that we picked four diverent people. I'm the defending champion.

250
00:11:46,348 --> 00:11:48,068
Speaker 1: T J. Watt is not even on the list, and

251
00:11:48,108 --> 00:11:49,788
Speaker 1: we could have gone with any of them. Nick Bosa,

252
00:11:49,948 --> 00:11:52,468
Speaker 1: pound for pound, might be the best pass rusher in football.

253
00:11:52,468 --> 00:11:56,628
Speaker 1: That's pretty good. Thank you, Thank you. More predictions. I

254
00:11:56,748 --> 00:11:58,228
Speaker 1: know it was fun. That was a fun pick. More

255
00:11:58,268 --> 00:12:00,948
Speaker 1: predictions are headed our way this morning, but with our

256
00:12:01,028 --> 00:12:04,028
Speaker 1: picks for the season, and you're gonna see it on

257
00:12:04,028 --> 00:12:05,668
Speaker 1: a little later in the show. We have a guest

258
00:12:05,788 --> 00:12:21,588
Speaker 1: coming up. Though. Let's go Marsha. Here we go, good morning.

259
00:12:23,348 --> 00:12:25,188
Speaker 1: Touch it out the right side of the answer off

260
00:12:25,308 --> 00:12:28,708
Speaker 1: of the shoulder. Brandon Marshall, bring it up another touchdown,

261
00:12:28,868 --> 00:12:31,268
Speaker 1: steps up in the pocket, libs it left side. Brandon

262
00:12:31,388 --> 00:12:34,828
Speaker 1: Marshall like the anzel. Marshall's there, Yes, he did dinner. Touchdown.

263
00:12:34,988 --> 00:12:38,068
Speaker 1: Cut a man back there cutting the ends of touchdown.

264
00:12:38,708 --> 00:12:43,828
Speaker 1: It is cut touchdown. Brandon Marshall. Gotta wind up the Marshall.

265
00:12:44,068 --> 00:12:48,628
Speaker 1: He makes the catch, touchdown, touchdown. Jay winds up looking

266
00:12:48,628 --> 00:12:52,108
Speaker 1: at the Anshaw throws up behind Marshall. Bringdon Marshall adjusting

267
00:12:52,228 --> 00:12:59,268
Speaker 1: for that throw and a beautiful catch. Our next guest.

268
00:12:59,308 --> 00:13:01,508
Speaker 1: I have no idea how he's even found the time

269
00:13:01,588 --> 00:13:03,788
Speaker 1: to come in here. So many business has so many

270
00:13:03,868 --> 00:13:07,748
Speaker 1: things going on. But he played thirteen seasons in the NFL,

271
00:13:08,148 --> 00:13:12,108
Speaker 1: eight of those seasons with over a thousand yards receiving,

272
00:13:12,428 --> 00:13:16,388
Speaker 1: holds the NFL record for most receptions in the game.

273
00:13:16,548 --> 00:13:25,148
Speaker 1: Please welcome former NFL wide receiver now businessman Brandon Energy here.

274
00:13:28,028 --> 00:13:30,548
Speaker 1: Love it the I Am Athlete Podcast. I know you

275
00:13:30,628 --> 00:13:33,588
Speaker 1: started it during the pandemic. LA Shawn McCoy's on that

276
00:13:33,748 --> 00:13:36,508
Speaker 1: thing which you're now Adam Pacman Jones. You guys have

277
00:13:36,588 --> 00:13:39,708
Speaker 1: a ton of fun. You talk about everything football culture,

278
00:13:39,788 --> 00:13:41,988
Speaker 1: all of it did you envision this in the beginning

279
00:13:42,028 --> 00:13:43,588
Speaker 1: in the beginning, or did it kind of just take

280
00:13:43,668 --> 00:13:46,308
Speaker 1: off listen. I thought that I thought that we had

281
00:13:46,348 --> 00:13:49,588
Speaker 1: a chance to do something cool because you rarely see

282
00:13:50,268 --> 00:13:55,428
Speaker 1: NFL guys like cursing or just being the real sales

283
00:13:55,468 --> 00:13:58,028
Speaker 1: because there's big brands of sixteen billion dollar business. So

284
00:13:58,068 --> 00:13:59,668
Speaker 1: I thought we had a chance to do that. But

285
00:13:59,788 --> 00:14:03,588
Speaker 1: I never thought that it would be this impactful, this influential,

286
00:14:03,708 --> 00:14:06,948
Speaker 1: So yes and no for years, And you make that point,

287
00:14:07,028 --> 00:14:10,308
Speaker 1: it was like the network's control it, the studios control it.

288
00:14:10,508 --> 00:14:13,228
Speaker 1: You work for an employer this podcast, as you guys,

289
00:14:14,108 --> 00:14:16,628
Speaker 1: why do you think your guests seem so comfortable? And

290
00:14:17,028 --> 00:14:19,348
Speaker 1: has there been one guest? And I personally I watched

291
00:14:19,348 --> 00:14:21,748
Speaker 1: all them. I thought JaMarcus Russell one was fascinating. Has

292
00:14:21,748 --> 00:14:23,428
Speaker 1: there been one guest that you feel you got the

293
00:14:23,508 --> 00:14:25,508
Speaker 1: most out of that? Maybe shows like ours and others

294
00:14:25,588 --> 00:14:28,468
Speaker 1: on ESPN aren't necessarily any the most out of those guests. Yeah.

295
00:14:28,508 --> 00:14:31,788
Speaker 1: I think it first starts with vulnerability, So I think

296
00:14:32,148 --> 00:14:35,948
Speaker 1: myself opening up and talking about mental health. Ocho Sinko

297
00:14:36,148 --> 00:14:39,188
Speaker 1: being on the show talking about I mean literally his

298
00:14:39,308 --> 00:14:43,148
Speaker 1: mother passed a week before and he was sitting there

299
00:14:43,468 --> 00:14:45,308
Speaker 1: right before we went on. I asked, what said, do

300
00:14:45,428 --> 00:14:47,468
Speaker 1: you want to talk about it? And he said, he

301
00:14:47,588 --> 00:14:49,828
Speaker 1: said yes, and we had this moment. He started crying,

302
00:14:50,068 --> 00:14:53,708
Speaker 1: We prayed together, We had moments talking about our wives,

303
00:14:53,748 --> 00:14:57,388
Speaker 1: our children. So the vulnerability, I truly believe curates a

304
00:14:57,468 --> 00:14:59,908
Speaker 1: space where guys just dropped their you know, just lay

305
00:14:59,948 --> 00:15:03,028
Speaker 1: down their guard, dropped their guard. So it starts there.

306
00:15:03,428 --> 00:15:06,228
Speaker 1: I think Kaepernick, Colin Kaepernick coming on, he hasn't sat

307
00:15:06,308 --> 00:15:08,868
Speaker 1: down with anyone in that capacity in five years. So

308
00:15:08,988 --> 00:15:11,428
Speaker 1: I think that was a big one. I wish we

309
00:15:11,468 --> 00:15:13,428
Speaker 1: could have rolled more of it, like we saw a

310
00:15:13,508 --> 00:15:16,708
Speaker 1: different side of him, Carrie Irvin. That was a big one.

311
00:15:16,988 --> 00:15:19,468
Speaker 1: So a lot of guys that came on that you know,

312
00:15:19,508 --> 00:15:22,308
Speaker 1: they're really comfortable talking to us. It has a lot

313
00:15:22,348 --> 00:15:24,668
Speaker 1: to do with you, man. I mean, you're unbelievably charismatic

314
00:15:24,748 --> 00:15:26,788
Speaker 1: and interesting. You always have been, and that's why I

315
00:15:26,828 --> 00:15:28,548
Speaker 1: think you get a lot of those reactions. You also

316
00:15:28,628 --> 00:15:30,948
Speaker 1: have this art of making people answer things and put

317
00:15:30,988 --> 00:15:33,108
Speaker 1: them on the spot appropriately, like you do the top

318
00:15:33,228 --> 00:15:35,428
Speaker 1: five wide receivers when people come out. So we got

319
00:15:35,548 --> 00:15:38,148
Speaker 1: Jamar Chase. Mar Chase gave his top five this is

320
00:15:38,188 --> 00:15:40,708
Speaker 1: the answer he gave you. Brandon Marshall, I think we

321
00:15:40,788 --> 00:15:42,868
Speaker 1: have it. Not too long ago, Jamar Chase said, all right,

322
00:15:42,908 --> 00:15:45,068
Speaker 1: what did you think of this list? Brandon yep so

323
00:15:45,268 --> 00:15:47,588
Speaker 1: de Vontee Adams, I think he's good there. I think

324
00:15:48,348 --> 00:15:50,788
Speaker 1: you know pretty much everyone in football. What would put

325
00:15:50,948 --> 00:15:53,988
Speaker 1: the Vantee Adams there? Keenan Allen, he took a shot there.

326
00:15:54,068 --> 00:15:57,548
Speaker 1: Keenan Allen is super disrespected in the NFL. This is

327
00:15:57,588 --> 00:16:00,508
Speaker 1: a guy that should could easily be in the top five,

328
00:16:00,828 --> 00:16:02,628
Speaker 1: but he's never in someone's top five. So I was

329
00:16:02,628 --> 00:16:06,188
Speaker 1: impressed there. Stephan's Diggs is my guy? Love Stefan Dicks,

330
00:16:06,428 --> 00:16:10,348
Speaker 1: Cooper Cup. A lot of debate around Cooper Cup. You know, TRP,

331
00:16:10,428 --> 00:16:12,108
Speaker 1: what is it that? The try fact that the triple

332
00:16:12,148 --> 00:16:15,268
Speaker 1: crown the triple Crown, But a lot of guys say

333
00:16:15,348 --> 00:16:17,388
Speaker 1: it's the system. A lot of guys say it's the quarterback.

334
00:16:17,468 --> 00:16:19,868
Speaker 1: But when you do that, you know, it's hard not

335
00:16:19,988 --> 00:16:22,548
Speaker 1: to be a top five. And Justine Jefferson, oh my goodness,

336
00:16:22,548 --> 00:16:30,148
Speaker 1: sees that. Do you have a top five? Come on?

337
00:16:30,268 --> 00:16:36,708
Speaker 1: You know where you see? I need these guys on

338
00:16:36,828 --> 00:16:40,628
Speaker 1: the show. I can't because here's the here's the thing.

339
00:16:40,828 --> 00:16:43,228
Speaker 1: If I give my top five right, Like these guys

340
00:16:43,468 --> 00:16:46,868
Speaker 1: literally had Jalen Ramsey. We had a Santy Samuel Senior

341
00:16:47,468 --> 00:16:51,068
Speaker 1: show and he talked about the cornerback position and like, look,

342
00:16:51,348 --> 00:16:54,348
Speaker 1: the benchmark for Hall of Fame is you gotta turn

343
00:16:54,388 --> 00:16:56,948
Speaker 1: the ball over. You gotta have thirty something more thirty

344
00:16:57,028 --> 00:16:58,548
Speaker 1: or something more picks. And he was talking about the

345
00:16:58,588 --> 00:17:01,348
Speaker 1: Rell Reeves and Jalen Ramsey. Jalen Ramsey didn't like that.

346
00:17:01,508 --> 00:17:04,348
Speaker 1: Jalen Ramsey. It was pissed off with me for about

347
00:17:04,588 --> 00:17:07,828
Speaker 1: three months with you now, like these guys get sensitive,

348
00:17:07,908 --> 00:17:09,748
Speaker 1: especially receiver. So I'm gonna give it anyway because I

349
00:17:09,828 --> 00:17:14,708
Speaker 1: don't care. So number one, I'm gonna go with Jamar Chase.

350
00:17:14,788 --> 00:17:18,108
Speaker 1: He's right there. You got DeVante Adams number one. Number two,

351
00:17:18,148 --> 00:17:21,628
Speaker 1: I think it's a toss up. I really like Stefan Diggs.

352
00:17:21,668 --> 00:17:23,388
Speaker 1: This is a guy you can throw in any situation.

353
00:17:23,468 --> 00:17:25,308
Speaker 1: He's going to get open, he's going to go get

354
00:17:25,388 --> 00:17:27,908
Speaker 1: the ball. He's a small dude, but he's super quick,

355
00:17:27,948 --> 00:17:33,148
Speaker 1: he's explosive in small spaces, and he's also he plays big.

356
00:17:33,308 --> 00:17:35,788
Speaker 1: He plays big. So you got Diggs. Let me see

357
00:17:35,908 --> 00:17:39,948
Speaker 1: who else I got here? You have Tyreek Hill Tyreek

358
00:17:39,988 --> 00:17:42,548
Speaker 1: Hills is one of those question marks for me as well.

359
00:17:42,628 --> 00:17:45,068
Speaker 1: Because you have Andy Reid, you also have you know,

360
00:17:45,188 --> 00:17:48,708
Speaker 1: Patrick Mahomes. It's easy to put up big numbers there.

361
00:17:48,748 --> 00:17:50,228
Speaker 1: So this is gonna be a big year for him.

362
00:17:50,348 --> 00:17:52,428
Speaker 1: Is he tought five? He absolutely is, But I don't

363
00:17:52,508 --> 00:17:54,628
Speaker 1: see how great he really is this year. So you

364
00:17:54,748 --> 00:17:58,908
Speaker 1: have him, you guys, Jason Jefferson, Justin Jefferson. I'm gonna

365
00:17:58,908 --> 00:18:00,988
Speaker 1: go with Justin Jefferson. When I was my first year,

366
00:18:01,068 --> 00:18:03,108
Speaker 1: in my second year when I broke out, you know,

367
00:18:03,188 --> 00:18:05,068
Speaker 1: all the veterans made me wait another year, so I

368
00:18:05,108 --> 00:18:09,228
Speaker 1: want to see it again. No disrespected to him. Phenomenal talent.

369
00:18:09,508 --> 00:18:12,348
Speaker 1: He had a phenomenal year. So you know, I'm I'm

370
00:18:12,348 --> 00:18:14,748
Speaker 1: gonna put Justin Jefferson there. It's hard to do what

371
00:18:14,868 --> 00:18:17,548
Speaker 1: he did that those first two years, right, so maybe

372
00:18:18,268 --> 00:18:20,748
Speaker 1: Jamar can do that and the last one. No one

373
00:18:20,828 --> 00:18:23,468
Speaker 1: talks about him. This is a guy. This is eight

374
00:18:23,588 --> 00:18:25,668
Speaker 1: years over a thousand yards. You know how hard that is.

375
00:18:26,228 --> 00:18:31,548
Speaker 1: That's greatness in itself to go eight going. I'm standing

376
00:18:31,668 --> 00:18:34,348
Speaker 1: up for the big receiver, Like did we forget about

377
00:18:34,388 --> 00:18:37,508
Speaker 1: the big receiver? Did we forget? No? This is eight

378
00:18:37,628 --> 00:18:40,068
Speaker 1: years in a row. That's greatness in itself. You know

379
00:18:40,228 --> 00:18:43,708
Speaker 1: this is award patrician in the NFL. You know this up.

380
00:18:43,988 --> 00:18:46,348
Speaker 1: I'm not putting Cooper cup in there like not right now,

381
00:18:46,908 --> 00:18:48,348
Speaker 1: not right now. I mean, and I don't know if

382
00:18:48,388 --> 00:18:49,948
Speaker 1: I if I would ever put him in the top

383
00:18:49,988 --> 00:18:51,788
Speaker 1: five because the way I look at it is and

384
00:18:52,188 --> 00:18:55,668
Speaker 1: no disrespect of Cooper. I love times love Cooper, or

385
00:18:55,668 --> 00:18:57,228
Speaker 1: you're just not fine because you know they get sent

386
00:18:58,988 --> 00:19:03,668
Speaker 1: some numbers you can cover and everybody. I want to

387
00:19:03,668 --> 00:19:05,348
Speaker 1: ask you about the super but I have one quick

388
00:19:05,388 --> 00:19:07,588
Speaker 1: question about wide receivers in general. You mentioned the third

389
00:19:07,668 --> 00:19:09,668
Speaker 1: year for Justin Jefferson, How important that is. What about

390
00:19:09,668 --> 00:19:11,748
Speaker 1: a guy like Julio Jones and having a moment that

391
00:19:11,828 --> 00:19:13,668
Speaker 1: he possibly could with a Tom Brady? What are you

392
00:19:13,708 --> 00:19:15,748
Speaker 1: doing that means to the position and for him? You

393
00:19:15,828 --> 00:19:18,308
Speaker 1: know what, it's a big moment. I think that these

394
00:19:18,348 --> 00:19:20,908
Speaker 1: are the situations that you dream of when you think

395
00:19:20,948 --> 00:19:23,188
Speaker 1: about Tom Brady where he's at. You think about where

396
00:19:23,268 --> 00:19:26,308
Speaker 1: Julio Jones is when in his career all you need

397
00:19:26,508 --> 00:19:29,508
Speaker 1: is give me everything you have in the rids on,

398
00:19:29,628 --> 00:19:32,188
Speaker 1: give me everything you have on third down. Like those

399
00:19:32,268 --> 00:19:35,868
Speaker 1: situational moments because the game comes down to moments and

400
00:19:36,228 --> 00:19:38,308
Speaker 1: it's hard. You might have a super talented guy that

401
00:19:38,388 --> 00:19:40,388
Speaker 1: may be faster, can jump hire in their prime in

402
00:19:40,428 --> 00:19:43,188
Speaker 1: their career, but then they missed that queue, they missed

403
00:19:43,228 --> 00:19:45,268
Speaker 1: that audible, right, So you have a guy like that,

404
00:19:45,388 --> 00:19:47,068
Speaker 1: they're locked in because that's what it's going to come

405
00:19:47,108 --> 00:19:49,188
Speaker 1: down to. A lot of these games are determined by

406
00:19:49,468 --> 00:19:52,068
Speaker 1: what ten or fewer points, right, So these games are

407
00:19:52,108 --> 00:19:54,428
Speaker 1: going down to the wire. We're doing some story time

408
00:19:54,468 --> 00:19:55,908
Speaker 1: with you, Brandon, and we're gonna go back to two

409
00:19:55,948 --> 00:19:58,548
Speaker 1: thousand and nine. You had twenty one catches in one game.

410
00:19:58,868 --> 00:20:01,628
Speaker 1: Twenty one catches in a game. What do you remember

411
00:20:01,628 --> 00:20:05,348
Speaker 1: about this? Absolutely nothing? And that was just no. I

412
00:20:05,428 --> 00:20:08,628
Speaker 1: mean it wasn't until Catch eighteen where one of my teammates,

413
00:20:08,708 --> 00:20:11,548
Speaker 1: Kenny McKinley rest in peace, walked up to me and said,

414
00:20:11,828 --> 00:20:13,508
Speaker 1: do you know what you're doing? Actually didn't walk, he

415
00:20:13,508 --> 00:20:15,308
Speaker 1: didn't say anything. He was just looking at me where

416
00:20:15,588 --> 00:20:18,068
Speaker 1: we were losing the game, and I said some words

417
00:20:18,108 --> 00:20:20,148
Speaker 1: that I can't say on national television. I'm like, why

418
00:20:20,188 --> 00:20:21,948
Speaker 1: are you staring at me like this right now? And

419
00:20:22,028 --> 00:20:24,228
Speaker 1: he said, bro, do you know you have eighteen catches

420
00:20:24,388 --> 00:20:26,548
Speaker 1: and you're about to break the record. And I said, no,

421
00:20:26,668 --> 00:20:28,988
Speaker 1: why do you already tell me that? Right then? I

422
00:20:29,028 --> 00:20:31,028
Speaker 1: went to cow Ord and I went to coach McDaniels,

423
00:20:31,028 --> 00:20:32,908
Speaker 1: who was out there in Las Vegas with the Raiders,

424
00:20:33,148 --> 00:20:35,228
Speaker 1: and I said, make sure I get this ball. And

425
00:20:35,308 --> 00:20:39,188
Speaker 1: he said, you know brand you know what Adam Gates

426
00:20:39,228 --> 00:20:41,108
Speaker 1: on your Stafford, he was the receiver. He was the

427
00:20:41,188 --> 00:20:43,468
Speaker 1: receivers coach at the time. I just wanted to coach out,

428
00:20:43,908 --> 00:20:47,628
Speaker 1: That's true. I loved that. He usaid talking to McDaniels

429
00:20:47,628 --> 00:20:51,908
Speaker 1: about you saw at all. But man, back in two

430
00:20:51,948 --> 00:20:54,428
Speaker 1: thousand and twelve, I got a chance to go against you.

431
00:20:54,508 --> 00:20:56,908
Speaker 1: A weake nine wasn't a ton of fun. We're talking

432
00:20:56,948 --> 00:20:58,828
Speaker 1: about this in April, the last time I saw you.

433
00:20:58,988 --> 00:21:00,908
Speaker 1: But there were so many guys on that team. I mean,

434
00:21:01,108 --> 00:21:04,028
Speaker 1: Brian Earl, Locker, Peanut Tillman was out there. We had

435
00:21:04,108 --> 00:21:07,748
Speaker 1: Matt Hells back, old guys. Legend Johnson was christ Johnson.

436
00:21:07,788 --> 00:21:10,108
Speaker 1: I mean, tell me, I had like three fourth fumbles

437
00:21:10,148 --> 00:21:13,428
Speaker 1: in the game. You don't you remember about this game?

438
00:21:13,628 --> 00:21:18,188
Speaker 1: I remember having a legendary game. Those four touchdowns, I

439
00:21:18,268 --> 00:21:20,268
Speaker 1: believe I think I had four. All of those catches

440
00:21:20,308 --> 00:21:22,468
Speaker 1: were not on me. Those were all on me. They

441
00:21:22,508 --> 00:21:23,948
Speaker 1: I don't know why they put that, but it wasn't

442
00:21:23,988 --> 00:21:26,388
Speaker 1: all on we party. That was a great moment. But

443
00:21:26,668 --> 00:21:29,348
Speaker 1: if I'm being honest, and here's the vulnerability, I can't

444
00:21:29,388 --> 00:21:34,108
Speaker 1: help myself. After the game, my mother checked into Betty Ford, right,

445
00:21:34,228 --> 00:21:36,068
Speaker 1: and so that was the whole thing. You know, we

446
00:21:36,188 --> 00:21:38,748
Speaker 1: talked about this moment for years and she called me

447
00:21:38,868 --> 00:21:41,108
Speaker 1: the week before and she's like, son, I'm ready to

448
00:21:41,188 --> 00:21:42,988
Speaker 1: do it. And I said, okay, we'll come to the

449
00:21:43,068 --> 00:21:45,228
Speaker 1: game and then after the game, we'll send you to

450
00:21:45,388 --> 00:21:47,508
Speaker 1: Betty four. She went to Betty Furd in California. She's

451
00:21:47,508 --> 00:21:53,108
Speaker 1: been sober for eight years. Congratulations for you. She's a

452
00:21:53,188 --> 00:21:57,188
Speaker 1: beautiful and a whole different time. Yeah, because you know

453
00:21:57,268 --> 00:21:59,068
Speaker 1: when when I when I walked in and I saw

454
00:21:59,148 --> 00:22:02,228
Speaker 1: that on y'all notes, I was peaking. Um. I was like, oh,

455
00:22:02,348 --> 00:22:05,188
Speaker 1: this is the most memorable moment a game. That's incredible.

456
00:22:05,268 --> 00:22:07,588
Speaker 1: So Jason, when he introduced you mentioned it. But you've

457
00:22:07,588 --> 00:22:09,028
Speaker 1: got a lot of stuff going on. Just tell us

458
00:22:09,068 --> 00:22:10,268
Speaker 1: what else is going on in your life so we

459
00:22:10,348 --> 00:22:11,668
Speaker 1: know where to get you, because we can't get enough

460
00:22:11,668 --> 00:22:13,868
Speaker 1: of you right now. Yeah, you know, focused on wellness

461
00:22:13,948 --> 00:22:16,348
Speaker 1: and focused on media. So House of Athlete training some

462
00:22:16,428 --> 00:22:19,188
Speaker 1: of our top athletes and NBA and NFL and youth

463
00:22:19,268 --> 00:22:22,468
Speaker 1: athletes and you know, so that's been cool scaling that business.

464
00:22:22,908 --> 00:22:25,748
Speaker 1: And then also I am an athlete. You know the

465
00:22:25,868 --> 00:22:28,468
Speaker 1: podcast that we talked about earlier. We're launching a five

466
00:22:28,548 --> 00:22:30,908
Speaker 1: day a week show, and wow, that's incredible. Do you

467
00:22:30,948 --> 00:22:32,708
Speaker 1: feel busier now or when you were when you were

468
00:22:32,748 --> 00:22:34,748
Speaker 1: a player, you were a busier. I mean it's probably

469
00:22:34,788 --> 00:22:38,628
Speaker 1: the same, but I'm you know, I'm working different muscles, yeah, right,

470
00:22:38,788 --> 00:22:42,388
Speaker 1: like now, like learning new skills and picking up new tools.

471
00:22:42,988 --> 00:22:46,508
Speaker 1: You know, there's a different fatigue when it comes to business. Absolutely,

472
00:22:46,628 --> 00:23:03,508
Speaker 1: that's the man. Name a cooler Hall of Famer, I

473
00:23:03,628 --> 00:23:05,388
Speaker 1: can't do it. We have the Bills game tomorrow night

474
00:23:05,428 --> 00:23:07,308
Speaker 1: against the Rams. We can't name a better guest to

475
00:23:07,348 --> 00:23:09,908
Speaker 1: bring on right now. Sixteen season the NFL. An absolute

476
00:23:10,028 --> 00:23:12,228
Speaker 1: legend and an old favorite of Good Morning Football. Listen,

482
00:23:24,988 --> 00:23:27,708
Speaker 1: I season off with a bang, huge game, Andre, and

483
00:23:27,868 --> 00:23:29,948
Speaker 1: that's we're gonna get right into at Sofi Stadium. You're

484
00:23:29,988 --> 00:23:31,788
Speaker 1: gonna be there to watch the Buffalo Bills take on

485
00:23:31,828 --> 00:23:34,188
Speaker 1: the defending Super Bowl champs as the Rams raise the banner.

486
00:23:34,348 --> 00:23:36,108
Speaker 1: Far bit for me to ask you a question about

487
00:23:36,148 --> 00:23:37,948
Speaker 1: confidence when you have your own Hall of Fame bust

488
00:23:38,028 --> 00:23:40,828
Speaker 1: over your shoulder. But should the Rams be more confident

489
00:23:40,988 --> 00:23:43,628
Speaker 1: or the Bills. Let's talk about your Bills. How confident

490
00:23:43,908 --> 00:23:45,908
Speaker 1: going into so far to win this thing go one

491
00:23:45,948 --> 00:23:48,388
Speaker 1: and off of the season. Should they be? Yeah, very confident.

492
00:23:48,468 --> 00:23:50,148
Speaker 1: I think they've done all they had to do this

493
00:23:50,308 --> 00:23:53,268
Speaker 1: offseason and getting the players they need. Picking up von

494
00:23:53,388 --> 00:23:56,788
Speaker 1: Miller was a was a big deal for this team

495
00:23:57,268 --> 00:24:00,028
Speaker 1: with his experience and what he's done there on a

496
00:24:00,068 --> 00:24:02,388
Speaker 1: Super Bowl or two with the Broncos and one one

497
00:24:02,388 --> 00:24:04,828
Speaker 1: with the Broncos one one last year. It'll be a

498
00:24:04,868 --> 00:24:07,268
Speaker 1: little different for him going back to LA and he

499
00:24:07,308 --> 00:24:09,628
Speaker 1: could have probably went to any team, but I think

500
00:24:09,668 --> 00:24:11,868
Speaker 1: he saw something really special what they're doing in Buffalo

501
00:24:11,868 --> 00:24:14,628
Speaker 1: over the past five years, and he's been there a

502
00:24:14,668 --> 00:24:19,628
Speaker 1: few times, so very confident, very confident about this team

503
00:24:19,668 --> 00:24:24,028
Speaker 1: going forward. They picked up Kayer Elam there in the draft,

504
00:24:24,348 --> 00:24:27,708
Speaker 1: who's probably gonna play a lot that because try Davis

505
00:24:27,788 --> 00:24:29,108
Speaker 1: White is not going to be in here the first

506
00:24:29,148 --> 00:24:32,428
Speaker 1: couple of weeks of the season, So coming out to

507
00:24:32,468 --> 00:24:35,148
Speaker 1: shoot hot man, it's gonna be a one of those games.

508
00:24:35,188 --> 00:24:36,868
Speaker 1: I don't think it's gonna be as high scoring as

509
00:24:36,908 --> 00:24:40,388
Speaker 1: people think they are. But you guys were talking earlier,

510
00:24:40,468 --> 00:24:43,508
Speaker 1: how do you block Aaron Donald, three time Defensive Player

511
00:24:43,548 --> 00:24:45,788
Speaker 1: of the Year. It's a task for anybody. It's it's

512
00:24:45,828 --> 00:24:48,468
Speaker 1: a task for a train to block him. But the

513
00:24:48,588 --> 00:24:50,588
Speaker 1: Bills did a great job in the offseason and picking

514
00:24:50,628 --> 00:24:53,388
Speaker 1: up Roger Staffeld to help out on that side in

515
00:24:53,548 --> 00:24:57,428
Speaker 1: line with Dion Dawkins. So usually they double team a

516
00:24:57,468 --> 00:25:00,588
Speaker 1: guy like Aaron, but he still finds a way. But

517
00:25:00,668 --> 00:25:03,148
Speaker 1: as long as you can slow him down just a

518
00:25:03,228 --> 00:25:06,628
Speaker 1: little bit, I don't give some chances for the guys

519
00:25:06,708 --> 00:25:09,188
Speaker 1: behind him to make some plays. And Buffalo's number one

520
00:25:09,228 --> 00:25:12,308
Speaker 1: in defense last year for a reason, you know, giveaway takeaway.

521
00:25:12,508 --> 00:25:15,588
Speaker 1: They led the league in turnover ratio. They got some

522
00:25:15,708 --> 00:25:18,308
Speaker 1: great players back there to play play together really well,

523
00:25:18,908 --> 00:25:21,588
Speaker 1: and it should be one of those games. It's gonna

524
00:25:21,588 --> 00:25:23,788
Speaker 1: be a good game to watch tomorrow night. Man. I

525
00:25:23,828 --> 00:25:26,188
Speaker 1: love it, And you mentioned Aaron Donald. That's all I love.

526
00:25:26,228 --> 00:25:27,908
Speaker 1: Being one of the smaller guys. I don't want to

527
00:25:27,908 --> 00:25:30,508
Speaker 1: be in there in a trench, one of those guys.

528
00:25:30,548 --> 00:25:32,628
Speaker 1: But we saw some of me highlights earlier. And you

529
00:25:32,668 --> 00:25:35,628
Speaker 1: are an impeccable route runner, one of the greatest in

530
00:25:35,788 --> 00:25:39,228
Speaker 1: NFL history. When you watch Stefon Diggs, do you see

531
00:25:39,348 --> 00:25:41,028
Speaker 1: that level of route running? What do you see with

532
00:25:41,148 --> 00:25:44,668
Speaker 1: your Hall of Fame trained I no doubt, no doubt there, man,

533
00:25:44,788 --> 00:25:47,708
Speaker 1: he is a technician when it comes to route running.

534
00:25:48,268 --> 00:25:50,588
Speaker 1: The game's a lot different, you notice, Jason. The game

535
00:25:50,748 --> 00:25:53,188
Speaker 1: is a lot different than it was when when I played.

536
00:25:53,788 --> 00:25:56,668
Speaker 1: Guys were defensive backs were in your face more, They

537
00:25:56,708 --> 00:25:59,868
Speaker 1: didn't give you as much room. The hands checking the

538
00:25:59,948 --> 00:26:02,428
Speaker 1: hands was a little bit more handsy than they are now.

539
00:26:03,188 --> 00:26:05,748
Speaker 1: But you're gonna see two of the best route runners

540
00:26:05,788 --> 00:26:08,468
Speaker 1: in the game tomorrow Night and Cooper couple on the

541
00:26:08,548 --> 00:26:11,148
Speaker 1: one side and Stefan Diggs on the other side of

542
00:26:11,308 --> 00:26:15,588
Speaker 1: running routes, and they play well into the hands of

543
00:26:15,668 --> 00:26:19,588
Speaker 1: what they're doing on offense. And you know kid and

544
00:26:19,708 --> 00:26:21,628
Speaker 1: again sleeping though you can't sleep on a guy like

545
00:26:21,708 --> 00:26:24,268
Speaker 1: Gabe Davis. Gabe Davis is going to have a great

546
00:26:24,348 --> 00:26:27,108
Speaker 1: year too, because if they do double team step On

547
00:26:27,268 --> 00:26:29,868
Speaker 1: like they do they double team Cooper Cup, somebody else

548
00:26:29,908 --> 00:26:32,108
Speaker 1: has got to step up and on their side day

549
00:26:32,148 --> 00:26:35,508
Speaker 1: they got Alan Robinson there from the Bears. So all

550
00:26:35,548 --> 00:26:38,428
Speaker 1: these guys behind the starters are gonna be big tractors

551
00:26:38,468 --> 00:26:40,148
Speaker 1: in the game tomorrow night. They're gonna be big, big

552
00:26:40,228 --> 00:26:43,508
Speaker 1: tractors in the whole season for them, for both teams. Day,

553
00:26:43,988 --> 00:26:45,388
Speaker 1: We're looking at you. You got the Hall of Fame

554
00:26:45,428 --> 00:26:49,068
Speaker 1: bus behind the Wheaties box. It's been years since the

555
00:26:49,108 --> 00:26:51,348
Speaker 1: Bills were the team. I gotta ask you. When we

556
00:26:51,428 --> 00:26:54,508
Speaker 1: did our NFL Network preview last night, our six lead

557
00:26:54,548 --> 00:26:57,668
Speaker 1: analysts on the Game Day morning show all picked the

558
00:26:57,708 --> 00:26:59,348
Speaker 1: Bills to win the Super Bowl. Do you like this

559
00:26:59,508 --> 00:27:01,908
Speaker 1: feeling or is this feeling kind of feel like it's

560
00:27:01,988 --> 00:27:03,628
Speaker 1: doom and gloom, Like we don't want all of this

561
00:27:03,748 --> 00:27:06,588
Speaker 1: love and attention before the season. Well, you like it

562
00:27:06,708 --> 00:27:08,188
Speaker 1: and you don't like it. You kind of want to

563
00:27:08,228 --> 00:27:10,548
Speaker 1: be right in the middle on all this. You know,

564
00:27:10,548 --> 00:27:13,788
Speaker 1: all these preseason publications and all the people saying, yes,

565
00:27:13,828 --> 00:27:15,708
Speaker 1: the Bills are their favorite. They should go to super

566
00:27:15,788 --> 00:27:19,148
Speaker 1: Bowl and win it. That's all here. Say. It's eighteen weeks.

567
00:27:19,708 --> 00:27:21,628
Speaker 1: There's a lot of football that needs to be played.

568
00:27:22,068 --> 00:27:24,348
Speaker 1: Injuries could happen, things could go on where it can

569
00:27:24,388 --> 00:27:26,868
Speaker 1: derail a lot of things. This team just has to

570
00:27:27,188 --> 00:27:28,748
Speaker 1: take care of business the way they have to and

571
00:27:28,788 --> 00:27:30,588
Speaker 1: don't worry about what's going to happen down the road.

572
00:27:30,708 --> 00:27:32,868
Speaker 1: Right now, they gotta win the division. They got to

573
00:27:32,868 --> 00:27:34,988
Speaker 1: do all the things they can to put themselves in

574
00:27:35,068 --> 00:27:37,708
Speaker 1: a position to get to the super Bowl. Getting there

575
00:27:38,268 --> 00:27:40,748
Speaker 1: is one thing. Win it is another, and it all

576
00:27:40,788 --> 00:27:43,148
Speaker 1: starts tomorrow night with the Rams here at so far.

577
00:27:43,348 --> 00:27:45,908
Speaker 1: So they win this game, they start off just the

578
00:27:45,988 --> 00:27:48,868
Speaker 1: way they want to. They got a tough schedule. You know,

579
00:27:49,028 --> 00:27:51,068
Speaker 1: got Tennessee, they got the Packers, they got a lot

580
00:27:51,148 --> 00:27:53,828
Speaker 1: of good teams. They're gonna be coming in and they're

581
00:27:53,828 --> 00:27:56,028
Speaker 1: gonna be playing wherever they're playing at home or a way.

582
00:27:56,108 --> 00:27:59,148
Speaker 1: So this team has to be on point right away

583
00:27:59,468 --> 00:28:02,308
Speaker 1: against the defending super Bowl champs. And you know, they

584
00:28:02,388 --> 00:28:04,028
Speaker 1: come away with this and have a nice little playing

585
00:28:04,108 --> 00:28:06,028
Speaker 1: ride back home and get ready for the next one.

586
00:28:06,108 --> 00:28:08,228
Speaker 1: That's just the next man up. That's what it is.

587
00:28:08,548 --> 00:28:11,708
Speaker 1: Andre Ian Rappaport has been updating us all morning on

588
00:28:11,828 --> 00:28:15,028
Speaker 1: the health and availability of a well known NFL wide

589
00:28:15,068 --> 00:28:17,268
Speaker 1: receiver who just so happens to be a free agent

590
00:28:17,468 --> 00:28:20,548
Speaker 1: at the moment. And you ran into this person, this

591
00:28:20,908 --> 00:28:24,388
Speaker 1: unnamed receiver recently. We already know he looks good and

592
00:28:24,428 --> 00:28:26,548
Speaker 1: blue and red and likes to play for a team

593
00:28:26,708 --> 00:28:29,708
Speaker 1: that's affiliated with New York. What do you think about

594
00:28:29,828 --> 00:28:33,708
Speaker 1: Odell Beckham Junior and his potential this season, his availability. Yeah.

595
00:28:34,068 --> 00:28:35,708
Speaker 1: I had a chance to talk to Odell a couple

596
00:28:35,748 --> 00:28:37,468
Speaker 1: of weeks, about a month and a half, agot the

597
00:28:37,588 --> 00:28:39,748
Speaker 1: New Jersey and talked to him about coming to the Bills.

598
00:28:39,788 --> 00:28:42,468
Speaker 1: He actually said something to me about it. And we're

599
00:28:42,508 --> 00:28:44,508
Speaker 1: gonna get on the horn of Von because Von is

600
00:28:44,508 --> 00:28:47,148
Speaker 1: a good pusher to get guys that come and follow him.

601
00:28:47,348 --> 00:28:49,428
Speaker 1: I don't think it's dead yet, you know. You know,

602
00:28:49,508 --> 00:28:51,348
Speaker 1: Odell has been working hard just to get back on

603
00:28:51,468 --> 00:28:54,508
Speaker 1: the field. It's unfortunate he had another you know, knee

604
00:28:54,508 --> 00:28:56,588
Speaker 1: injury there in the Super Bowl, but you know, he

605
00:28:56,788 --> 00:28:59,628
Speaker 1: is a talent amongst not too many like him, and

606
00:29:00,028 --> 00:29:01,668
Speaker 1: I think if he does the right things to get

607
00:29:01,708 --> 00:29:03,668
Speaker 1: back on the field, whether it's going to be in

608
00:29:03,708 --> 00:29:06,508
Speaker 1: Buffalo or any other team he goes to. He brings

609
00:29:06,548 --> 00:29:08,908
Speaker 1: a lot of a lot of credibility and a lot

610
00:29:08,988 --> 00:29:12,108
Speaker 1: of star power to a team. So, but we still

611
00:29:12,148 --> 00:29:15,228
