Until then, 47 00:02:02,988 --> 00:02:03,828 Speaker 3: it's happily blucked. 48 00:02:03,868 --> 00:02:09,948 Speaker 6: Were yes, Yeah, yesterday we heard Sekon Barkley say that. 49 00:02:10,028 --> 00:02:13,748 Speaker 3: He may have to consider not only skipping camp, but 50 00:02:13,828 --> 00:02:16,268 Speaker 3: sitting out part or all of the twenty twenty three 51 00:02:16,348 --> 00:02:19,028 Speaker 3: season after failing to get a long term deal. 52 00:02:19,148 --> 00:02:21,748 Speaker 6: You can see here what the Giants. 53 00:02:21,388 --> 00:02:23,948 Speaker 3: Would be missing and as it compares to other backs 54 00:02:23,948 --> 00:02:26,668 Speaker 3: in the league, Saquon accounted for over forty percent of 55 00:02:26,708 --> 00:02:30,228 Speaker 3: the Giants offensive touches last year. That's the third amongst 56 00:02:30,268 --> 00:02:32,668 Speaker 3: running backs and just ahead of the league's highest paidback 57 00:02:32,948 --> 00:02:36,348 Speaker 3: in Christian McCaffrey. Giants legend Carlbanks front of the show 58 00:02:36,668 --> 00:02:40,068 Speaker 3: had this advice though for Saquon yesterday. 59 00:02:40,908 --> 00:02:44,588 Speaker 7: Don't be a principal fool. And I say that because 60 00:02:45,868 --> 00:02:48,668 Speaker 7: you could sit at home and nobody's paying the price 61 00:02:48,708 --> 00:02:51,988 Speaker 7: for it. The league. The games are going to start 62 00:02:51,988 --> 00:02:56,708 Speaker 7: on time, right. Training camp won't stop because you're not there. 63 00:02:57,228 --> 00:03:01,148 Speaker 7: You're a great football player, you love the game. Don't 64 00:03:01,268 --> 00:03:05,828 Speaker 7: let it take that away from you. Come in with 65 00:03:05,908 --> 00:03:14,148 Speaker 7: your integrity, intact and be enthusiastic. Be angry. You should 66 00:03:14,148 --> 00:03:14,668 Speaker 7: be angry. 67 00:03:19,068 --> 00:03:23,188 Speaker 3: So that was Carl Banks yesterday on the Believed Network, 68 00:03:23,228 --> 00:03:26,668 Speaker 3: eager to give Saquon his strong and thoughtful advice, and 69 00:03:27,028 --> 00:03:30,228 Speaker 3: it seems as though Saquon Barkley listened to it because 70 00:03:30,508 --> 00:03:32,828 Speaker 3: breaking news coming into Good Morning Football right now is 71 00:03:32,868 --> 00:03:36,548 Speaker 3: that the Giants and Saquon Barkley have agreed to terms 72 00:03:36,828 --> 00:03:39,668 Speaker 3: the running back returning to the New York Giants. We 73 00:03:39,708 --> 00:03:41,788 Speaker 3: are hearing this just now. There is a tweet that 74 00:03:41,868 --> 00:03:44,708 Speaker 3: we can show you. This information is coming in right 75 00:03:44,708 --> 00:03:45,628 Speaker 3: now Saquon Barkley. 76 00:03:45,628 --> 00:03:46,668 Speaker 6: Of course, this has been a. 77 00:03:46,588 --> 00:03:50,348 Speaker 3: Long time situation going for the running back this offseason. 78 00:03:50,948 --> 00:03:54,428 Speaker 6: Here we go, Ian Rappaport. Surprise, surprise, Giants. 79 00:03:53,988 --> 00:03:57,388 Speaker 3: And star running back Saquon Barkley agreed to terms on 80 00:03:57,508 --> 00:03:59,708 Speaker 3: a new one year deal one year. 81 00:03:59,788 --> 00:04:01,548 Speaker 6: Of course, he was going to be franchise tag. 82 00:04:01,588 --> 00:04:04,988 Speaker 3: It's worth up to eleven million dollars to say, as 83 00:04:05,068 --> 00:04:08,588 Speaker 3: Barkley gives himself a chance to beat the franchise tag, he. 84 00:04:08,548 --> 00:04:11,148 Speaker 6: Will get a two million dollar signing boat. 85 00:04:11,188 --> 00:04:13,988 Speaker 3: As bottom line rap sheet says, Barkley is coming in 86 00:04:14,228 --> 00:04:17,788 Speaker 3: and he will be reporting to the Giants trading camp now. 87 00:04:18,108 --> 00:04:22,628 Speaker 3: As of three minutes ago, the fear was that Barkley. 88 00:04:22,308 --> 00:04:23,308 Speaker 6: Was not going to show up. 89 00:04:23,788 --> 00:04:25,508 Speaker 3: I immediately I am going to go to Peter Schrager 90 00:04:25,548 --> 00:04:30,028 Speaker 3: because the quizzical look on your face. Peter is curious one, 91 00:04:30,348 --> 00:04:32,948 Speaker 3: and I'm wondering why you look like this. 92 00:04:33,108 --> 00:04:35,068 Speaker 5: I thought both sides were dug in here. But I 93 00:04:35,148 --> 00:04:38,948 Speaker 5: also thought this salary captured nastics of the new CBA. 94 00:04:39,028 --> 00:04:41,668 Speaker 5: Is that even so it's a one year deal that 95 00:04:41,828 --> 00:04:44,268 Speaker 5: he's already on the franchise tat because he didn't sign 96 00:04:44,348 --> 00:04:47,508 Speaker 5: it though, So he never signed the franchise tagt we 97 00:04:47,508 --> 00:04:51,748 Speaker 5: could sign it. They didn't rescind the tag necessarily. It 98 00:04:51,908 --> 00:04:54,788 Speaker 5: was never on him because he never accepted it. So 99 00:04:55,348 --> 00:04:57,388 Speaker 5: it's a one year deal for eleven million. Remember we 100 00:04:57,428 --> 00:04:59,628 Speaker 5: heard that he was offered up to thirteen during the 101 00:04:59,628 --> 00:05:02,148 Speaker 5: bye week. He said no, I'd rather hit free agency. 102 00:05:02,228 --> 00:05:05,068 Speaker 5: So this is more than the franchise which would. 103 00:05:04,868 --> 00:05:06,508 Speaker 2: Have been at ten. It's eleven. 104 00:05:07,028 --> 00:05:11,468 Speaker 5: But it's a one year deal. I'm a little surprised 105 00:05:11,508 --> 00:05:14,228 Speaker 5: it just was wrapped up like this, considering it seemed 106 00:05:14,228 --> 00:05:17,708 Speaker 5: like two sides were very far apart, especially after Saquon's 107 00:05:17,748 --> 00:05:21,708 Speaker 5: comments how he might sit out the entire season. When 108 00:05:21,748 --> 00:05:24,388 Speaker 5: year deal eleven million, that's still one of the most 109 00:05:25,268 --> 00:05:30,468 Speaker 5: highest paid running backs in the entire NFL. But we're 110 00:05:30,508 --> 00:05:31,548 Speaker 5: back in this situation again. 111 00:05:31,628 --> 00:05:34,268 Speaker 4: Yes he's here though, right, I mean yeah, for the 112 00:05:34,268 --> 00:05:36,348 Speaker 4: Giants organization, at least he's here. And you look at 113 00:05:36,348 --> 00:05:40,428 Speaker 4: the running back market this offseason. It wasn't nowhere, It 114 00:05:40,468 --> 00:05:43,188 Speaker 4: wasn't anywhere near eleven millions. So he got that, and 115 00:05:43,268 --> 00:05:45,388 Speaker 4: Carl Banks said, we were kind of leading in with 116 00:05:45,428 --> 00:05:48,148 Speaker 4: that that you need compromise on both sides, and he 117 00:05:48,228 --> 00:05:50,428 Speaker 4: had that when he was holding out back in the 118 00:05:50,508 --> 00:05:53,308 Speaker 4: day while he was playing. And I think for Sakuon Barkley, 119 00:05:53,708 --> 00:05:58,028 Speaker 4: it's tough this this human interaction and emotions to put 120 00:05:58,068 --> 00:05:59,548 Speaker 4: everything to a side and say, hey, you know what, 121 00:05:59,588 --> 00:06:00,428 Speaker 4: I'm going to show. 122 00:06:00,308 --> 00:06:01,708 Speaker 2: Up and he's doing that. 123 00:06:01,988 --> 00:06:03,788 Speaker 4: It's still the tough part as you look at this. 124 00:06:03,868 --> 00:06:06,588 Speaker 4: For saqu it's still a one year deal. He's a 125 00:06:06,668 --> 00:06:09,388 Speaker 4: running back. You said it yesterday, Kyle. Running backs take 126 00:06:09,428 --> 00:06:11,828 Speaker 4: a beating. So now he goes to another year. He's 127 00:06:11,988 --> 00:06:15,388 Speaker 4: another year older, he has more carries on his body. 128 00:06:15,388 --> 00:06:18,428 Speaker 4: So now he shows up next offseason wanting a new contract. 129 00:06:18,468 --> 00:06:19,508 Speaker 2: If he balls out and. 130 00:06:19,468 --> 00:06:22,348 Speaker 4: He goes for twelve hundred and thirteen plus yards again 131 00:06:22,428 --> 00:06:25,908 Speaker 4: this season, the Giant's gonna give him a long term 132 00:06:25,948 --> 00:06:28,228 Speaker 4: deal next year. I think the good part for this 133 00:06:28,308 --> 00:06:31,908 Speaker 4: is Sakwan's there. He shows up, He's gonna maximize his money, 134 00:06:31,908 --> 00:06:34,228 Speaker 4: making his eleven million dollars. There's gonna be opportunities off 135 00:06:34,268 --> 00:06:35,988 Speaker 4: the field for him to make money. So that's a 136 00:06:35,988 --> 00:06:37,868 Speaker 4: big thing for him and for the Giants office. Him, 137 00:06:37,948 --> 00:06:40,948 Speaker 4: Daniel Jones another year together with Brian da Able to 138 00:06:40,948 --> 00:06:41,828 Speaker 4: see what they can do. 139 00:06:42,428 --> 00:06:45,508 Speaker 1: He's gonna be there. Yeah, okay, this is the headline. 140 00:06:45,748 --> 00:06:49,668 Speaker 1: Peter's right. The minutia of contracts is exhausting. He's going 141 00:06:49,708 --> 00:06:51,708 Speaker 1: to be in camp. He's going to be there for 142 00:06:51,748 --> 00:06:53,428 Speaker 1: week one. He's going to be there for first and 143 00:06:53,468 --> 00:06:55,548 Speaker 1: ten from the twenty five. Sakuon Barkley is going to 144 00:06:55,588 --> 00:06:58,828 Speaker 1: be there. That's great. I read yesterday Josh Jacobs got 145 00:06:58,828 --> 00:07:00,748 Speaker 1: on a plane and left Las Vegas. I don't know 146 00:07:00,748 --> 00:07:02,828 Speaker 1: when he's coming back. I don't know if he's coming back. 147 00:07:03,028 --> 00:07:05,868 Speaker 1: Next time we see Josh Jacobs, he could be training 148 00:07:05,908 --> 00:07:08,108 Speaker 1: in the offseason, training in the regular season. He could 149 00:07:08,108 --> 00:07:10,828 Speaker 1: be in a different uniform. Saquon Barkley's gonna be a Giant. 150 00:07:11,388 --> 00:07:13,188 Speaker 2: Look. I don't know after this. I have no idea. 151 00:07:13,268 --> 00:07:16,548 Speaker 1: This is a victory today because if you're a Giants fan, 152 00:07:17,108 --> 00:07:18,708 Speaker 1: you just want them on the field this year. The 153 00:07:18,988 --> 00:07:21,628 Speaker 1: long term thing, we gotta win some playoff games this year. 154 00:07:21,628 --> 00:07:23,148 Speaker 1: We're trying to get to a title game. We may 155 00:07:23,188 --> 00:07:24,988 Speaker 1: be trying to get to the whole damn thing this year. 156 00:07:25,228 --> 00:07:28,628 Speaker 1: Twenty six will be out there now all these things 157 00:07:28,668 --> 00:07:31,548 Speaker 1: about Okay, so he has thirty touches in the first 158 00:07:31,548 --> 00:07:33,548 Speaker 1: two games and they're using the crap out of him. 159 00:07:33,668 --> 00:07:35,308 Speaker 1: Is he gonna be happy? Is he gonna come up 160 00:07:35,348 --> 00:07:37,348 Speaker 1: and the training camp and be like, my hamstring hurts. 161 00:07:37,388 --> 00:07:39,988 Speaker 1: I don't know, because he has no long term assurances. 162 00:07:39,988 --> 00:07:42,308 Speaker 1: If you're Saquon, is not a big victory for Saquon 163 00:07:42,388 --> 00:07:42,948 Speaker 1: I don't think. 164 00:07:43,188 --> 00:07:44,988 Speaker 2: You know, it's funny. We had this exercise here. 165 00:07:45,188 --> 00:07:47,188 Speaker 1: We started the show, We're getting ready to talk and 166 00:07:47,188 --> 00:07:48,948 Speaker 1: then we hear his breaking news and Jamie starts to say, 167 00:07:48,988 --> 00:07:49,628 Speaker 1: we have a tweet. 168 00:07:49,988 --> 00:07:52,428 Speaker 2: I'm thinking, is it a three year deal? Is did 169 00:07:52,428 --> 00:07:53,988 Speaker 2: they do the long term thing? No? 170 00:07:53,868 --> 00:07:56,108 Speaker 1: No, no, no nothing. Did he sign nothing? It's a one 171 00:07:56,188 --> 00:07:58,628 Speaker 1: year deal for eleven mili And we're all kind of like, huh. 172 00:07:58,708 --> 00:08:00,908 Speaker 1: But the headline is twenty six will be on the 173 00:08:00,908 --> 00:08:02,188 Speaker 1: Giants in camp and that's a win. 174 00:08:02,548 --> 00:08:03,908 Speaker 6: You know, over the weekend. 175 00:08:03,948 --> 00:08:06,388 Speaker 3: The reason this was not just his absence from the 176 00:08:06,388 --> 00:08:07,988 Speaker 3: team in training camp, but the reason why this was 177 00:08:08,028 --> 00:08:10,188 Speaker 3: such a heavy topic over the weekend is because Barkley 178 00:08:10,228 --> 00:08:12,668 Speaker 3: himself had come out on that podcast over the weekend 179 00:08:12,708 --> 00:08:15,188 Speaker 3: and said, you know, I could say forget my teammates, 180 00:08:15,188 --> 00:08:17,068 Speaker 3: forget the Giants, and I could just not show up 181 00:08:17,108 --> 00:08:20,188 Speaker 3: that he was saying, quote, my leverage is the power 182 00:08:20,228 --> 00:08:22,428 Speaker 3: that I have, which is not to be there. And 183 00:08:22,508 --> 00:08:24,948 Speaker 3: clearly he's now just looking at this one step at 184 00:08:24,948 --> 00:08:26,908 Speaker 3: a time. It's not about the staircase for him. He's 185 00:08:26,948 --> 00:08:29,748 Speaker 3: looking at this one step one year. So either he 186 00:08:30,028 --> 00:08:32,668 Speaker 3: has an approach that is specific to him, Kyle and 187 00:08:32,748 --> 00:08:35,228 Speaker 3: Jason that and Peter that you feel like he wants 188 00:08:35,228 --> 00:08:36,908 Speaker 3: to take this thing one year at to time, or 189 00:08:37,588 --> 00:08:40,068 Speaker 3: he heard what a guy like Carl Banks had to 190 00:08:40,068 --> 00:08:42,028 Speaker 3: say and really thought about it and don't be the 191 00:08:42,068 --> 00:08:44,868 Speaker 3: principled fool. And you know, the running backs are trying 192 00:08:44,908 --> 00:08:46,988 Speaker 3: to band together here and come up with something that 193 00:08:46,988 --> 00:08:49,228 Speaker 3: puts their position at a high value. But you can 194 00:08:49,308 --> 00:08:51,748 Speaker 3: only do that if you're on the field. We were 195 00:08:51,748 --> 00:08:53,908 Speaker 3: going to have this conversation about if Saquon wasn't there, 196 00:08:53,948 --> 00:08:55,828 Speaker 3: what do the Giants look like? Well now we don't 197 00:08:55,868 --> 00:08:59,388 Speaker 3: have to wonder that at least until next August. But Jason, 198 00:08:59,428 --> 00:09:02,388 Speaker 3: you've been in situations where you don't know what your 199 00:09:02,428 --> 00:09:05,188 Speaker 3: future looks like with one team or another. What do 200 00:09:05,228 --> 00:09:08,148 Speaker 3: you think the breaking point came for for Saquon Barkley 201 00:09:08,148 --> 00:09:09,948 Speaker 3: and the team, Maybe where he's just like I have 202 00:09:09,988 --> 00:09:10,828 Speaker 3: to be with my guys. 203 00:09:10,908 --> 00:09:13,228 Speaker 4: I honestly don't think sae Quon ever was going to 204 00:09:13,268 --> 00:09:15,628 Speaker 4: sit out the entire season. I just don't think for 205 00:09:15,668 --> 00:09:18,188 Speaker 4: a running back, for any player of that matter, sitting 206 00:09:18,228 --> 00:09:21,268 Speaker 4: out the entire season is not the answer, because your 207 00:09:21,308 --> 00:09:24,308 Speaker 4: opportunity to make money in this league and to play 208 00:09:24,388 --> 00:09:26,188 Speaker 4: a game that you grew up and you fell in 209 00:09:26,228 --> 00:09:28,628 Speaker 4: love with as a young kid is only a certain 210 00:09:28,668 --> 00:09:30,388 Speaker 4: amount of years. You get to a certain age, you 211 00:09:30,388 --> 00:09:31,748 Speaker 4: get to a certain point in your career, and you 212 00:09:31,828 --> 00:09:34,388 Speaker 4: just can't do it anymore. So for Saquon to sit 213 00:09:34,428 --> 00:09:36,868 Speaker 4: out an entire year, not only is he missing out 214 00:09:36,868 --> 00:09:38,868 Speaker 4: on his opportunity to have fun and play a game 215 00:09:38,908 --> 00:09:41,028 Speaker 4: he loves, but he's also missing out on an opportunity 216 00:09:41,028 --> 00:09:43,548 Speaker 4: to earn money. It's not only the ten million dollars 217 00:09:43,588 --> 00:09:46,188 Speaker 4: which would have been franchise tag now eleven million dollars, 218 00:09:46,228 --> 00:09:49,268 Speaker 4: but Saquon Barkley makes a ton of money off the field, 219 00:09:49,268 --> 00:09:52,268 Speaker 4: and you make money whether it's whatever sponsor you. 220 00:09:52,228 --> 00:09:53,628 Speaker 2: Want to throw out there at the wall. 221 00:09:54,148 --> 00:09:56,628 Speaker 4: A lot of that is contingent on you being out 222 00:09:56,628 --> 00:09:59,628 Speaker 4: there playing and representing whatever brand it is that you're 223 00:09:59,668 --> 00:10:02,228 Speaker 4: attaching to your name, image and likeness. So for him, 224 00:10:02,268 --> 00:10:04,148 Speaker 4: if he's not playing, not only is he not getting 225 00:10:04,148 --> 00:10:06,988 Speaker 4: his but he's also missing out on all that money 226 00:10:07,028 --> 00:10:08,948 Speaker 4: off the field. So I think for him it was 227 00:10:08,988 --> 00:10:11,388 Speaker 4: a matter of maybe at what point in training camp 228 00:10:11,428 --> 00:10:13,388 Speaker 4: did he show up? But he was going to play 229 00:10:13,388 --> 00:10:15,068 Speaker 4: in all the games with my personal what I think 230 00:10:15,108 --> 00:10:16,908 Speaker 4: he was going to do. Now, this allows him a 231 00:10:16,948 --> 00:10:19,388 Speaker 4: little compromised by the Giants a very little bit he 232 00:10:19,428 --> 00:10:20,468 Speaker 4: shows up to begin training. 233 00:10:20,548 --> 00:10:22,348 Speaker 5: I wonder if the Leveon Bell situation a few years 234 00:10:22,348 --> 00:10:26,228 Speaker 5: ago as a questionary tale, like here's Levon standing on 235 00:10:26,268 --> 00:10:28,628 Speaker 5: principle representing the running backs, and it's not like he 236 00:10:28,668 --> 00:10:30,428 Speaker 5: had a flock of running backs who followed him and 237 00:10:30,428 --> 00:10:34,308 Speaker 5: said right on, Saquon suddenly was supposed to miss the 238 00:10:34,348 --> 00:10:37,628 Speaker 5: season because of this position that he's played his entire life, 239 00:10:37,708 --> 00:10:40,828 Speaker 5: and without anyone else's assurances that we're going to do 240 00:10:40,828 --> 00:10:43,068 Speaker 5: the same thing and we've got your bag. It's a 241 00:10:43,148 --> 00:10:46,068 Speaker 5: curious time for running backs to Jason's point, and I 242 00:10:46,108 --> 00:10:48,388 Speaker 5: think Carl Banks was saying this, Saikan will make He'll 243 00:10:48,428 --> 00:10:50,668 Speaker 5: make a few million dollars off the field of endorsements 244 00:10:50,708 --> 00:10:53,628 Speaker 5: this year. If you're holding out and you're looked at 245 00:10:53,788 --> 00:10:57,188 Speaker 5: as a guy who has become you know more about 246 00:10:57,188 --> 00:10:59,508 Speaker 5: me than the New York Giants, the big Blue brand, 247 00:10:59,868 --> 00:11:02,628 Speaker 5: you're not getting those speaking endorsements in New York Giants. 248 00:11:02,628 --> 00:11:04,948 Speaker 5: Fans don't want to pack to see you play. Yeah, 249 00:11:04,988 --> 00:11:06,868 Speaker 5: a lot would be in your corner still, but it's 250 00:11:06,908 --> 00:11:08,668 Speaker 5: different if the season starts and you're not there and 251 00:11:08,708 --> 00:11:10,868 Speaker 5: you're saying, hey, I'm gonna go do a speaking endorsement 252 00:11:10,948 --> 00:11:13,508 Speaker 5: or a commercial that doesn't look very good. So this 253 00:11:13,548 --> 00:11:15,748 Speaker 5: is realistic. Like they had the Zoom session on Saturday night, 254 00:11:15,828 --> 00:11:17,668 Speaker 5: I don't think they came around or out of that 255 00:11:17,708 --> 00:11:20,148 Speaker 5: thing with roses and flowers and saying, oh gosh, things 256 00:11:20,148 --> 00:11:21,468 Speaker 5: are gonna be wonderful for all. 257 00:11:21,308 --> 00:11:22,668 Speaker 2: Of us this off season. 258 00:11:23,148 --> 00:11:26,428 Speaker 5: Saquon's a realist, His agent's are realist. This is more 259 00:11:26,468 --> 00:11:27,788 Speaker 5: money than he would have made it the except of 260 00:11:27,868 --> 00:11:30,308 Speaker 5: the franchise tag. That might just be a win in itself. 261 00:11:30,988 --> 00:11:33,108 Speaker 1: If I'm Saquon, though, like I really want to have 262 00:11:33,148 --> 00:11:36,468 Speaker 1: control of my career in my livelihood, I'm very wary 263 00:11:36,508 --> 00:11:38,228 Speaker 1: of how much are running the ball Like that's a 264 00:11:38,268 --> 00:11:40,668 Speaker 1: huge deal to me because if you're the giants, like 265 00:11:40,828 --> 00:11:41,828 Speaker 1: run the wheels off him. 266 00:11:41,828 --> 00:11:42,988 Speaker 2: He's great. We got it from one year. 267 00:11:43,028 --> 00:11:45,908 Speaker 1: If you're Saquon, I don't know, Like you remember last 268 00:11:45,948 --> 00:11:47,948 Speaker 1: year when when Lamar was banged up and then he 269 00:11:47,988 --> 00:11:50,828 Speaker 1: didn't go, and it's like, I see you working Lamar's 270 00:11:50,868 --> 00:11:52,708 Speaker 1: same thing if you're Saquon and you're going to like 271 00:11:52,748 --> 00:11:55,868 Speaker 1: a winning in in week eighteen and your ankle's. 272 00:11:55,508 --> 00:11:58,108 Speaker 2: Not right, like I'm not being out there? Why for who? 273 00:11:58,148 --> 00:11:58,388 Speaker 2: For what? 274 00:11:58,908 --> 00:12:02,068 Speaker 1: I also think this has ripple effects like big time ones. 275 00:12:02,268 --> 00:12:04,188 Speaker 1: I think about the young guys right now, like a 276 00:12:04,468 --> 00:12:07,468 Speaker 1: John Robinson or Jamir Gibbs. What if p John Robinson 277 00:12:07,508 --> 00:12:10,388 Speaker 1: is a sensation and he has seventeen hundred yards this year, 278 00:12:10,508 --> 00:12:11,388 Speaker 1: would you not tell him? 279 00:12:11,468 --> 00:12:12,228 Speaker 2: Hold out? Now? 280 00:12:12,348 --> 00:12:12,788 Speaker 8: Hold out? 281 00:12:12,908 --> 00:12:14,868 Speaker 1: Get an extension after your first year, and I'll go 282 00:12:14,908 --> 00:12:18,508 Speaker 1: even deeper. I look at college kids, even high school kids. 283 00:12:18,828 --> 00:12:20,788 Speaker 1: If you were one of these five star guys who 284 00:12:20,788 --> 00:12:23,468 Speaker 1: can choose Alabama Ohio state, you are the number one 285 00:12:23,508 --> 00:12:25,228 Speaker 1: rateed running back in the United States. Are you not 286 00:12:25,268 --> 00:12:27,548 Speaker 1: saying no, no, no, no, no no no. I'm gonna gain 287 00:12:27,588 --> 00:12:29,428 Speaker 1: twenty pounds and I'm going to be a pass rusher. 288 00:12:29,708 --> 00:12:32,428 Speaker 1: I'm gonna be Michael Parsons. I'm not gonna be Dereck Henry. 289 00:12:32,428 --> 00:12:34,428 Speaker 1: And I don't blame those kids. There's five or six 290 00:12:34,508 --> 00:12:36,228 Speaker 1: kids who were in there in high school. You know 291 00:12:36,268 --> 00:12:39,428 Speaker 1: they're going to be pro running backs already. Why change 292 00:12:39,468 --> 00:12:41,948 Speaker 1: positions and make double the money. I think there's ripple 293 00:12:41,948 --> 00:12:43,468 Speaker 1: effects going down to seventeen year old. 294 00:12:43,508 --> 00:12:44,388 Speaker 2: Here's the reality of it. 295 00:12:44,468 --> 00:12:46,468 Speaker 5: Even if you are a p John Robinson and do 296 00:12:46,468 --> 00:12:48,028 Speaker 5: seventeen hundred yards, I think they can't even had a. 297 00:12:48,028 --> 00:12:49,268 Speaker 2: Better rookie year. He was amazing. 298 00:12:49,308 --> 00:12:51,788 Speaker 5: The way these rookie contracts are structured, you can't even 299 00:12:51,908 --> 00:12:54,988 Speaker 5: negotiate until year four. If you're a first round pick, 300 00:12:55,068 --> 00:12:57,508 Speaker 5: you can't even get that extension till then. So you're 301 00:12:57,588 --> 00:13:00,148 Speaker 5: kind of handstrung. And that's why there is an argument 302 00:13:00,228 --> 00:13:02,988 Speaker 5: you made do draft that running back in the first round. 303 00:13:03,268 --> 00:13:05,628 Speaker 5: It's a cold business. But draft get four years out 304 00:13:05,628 --> 00:13:08,268 Speaker 5: of him and then look at take one. You could 305 00:13:08,308 --> 00:13:10,268 Speaker 5: not have asked for a better rookie year. Couldnot have 306 00:13:10,268 --> 00:13:12,268 Speaker 5: asked for a better year last year, and he still 307 00:13:12,348 --> 00:13:14,308 Speaker 5: is the one looking at saying, really, eleven million dollars 308 00:13:14,348 --> 00:13:18,548 Speaker 5: compared to what other positions are making. I think Giants 309 00:13:18,548 --> 00:13:20,828 Speaker 5: fans should be relieved right now. I'm trying to do 310 00:13:20,828 --> 00:13:22,588 Speaker 5: the gymnastics and maybe you guys can help me with it. 311 00:13:22,628 --> 00:13:24,668 Speaker 5: With Ken, So, if it's a one year deal, can 312 00:13:24,708 --> 00:13:27,828 Speaker 5: they franchise tag him again? No, he's purely free at 313 00:13:27,868 --> 00:13:29,788 Speaker 5: the NASA, right, Yeah. 314 00:13:29,468 --> 00:13:31,348 Speaker 3: So, Peter, I don't know if this helps this question, 315 00:13:31,388 --> 00:13:33,748 Speaker 3: but Ian has continued to tweet about the situation, and 316 00:13:33,788 --> 00:13:35,788 Speaker 3: I just want to help some clarification what you guys 317 00:13:35,788 --> 00:13:38,308 Speaker 3: are saying earlier that when a player in the circumstance 318 00:13:38,388 --> 00:13:41,428 Speaker 3: doesn't do a long term deal by that mid July 319 00:13:41,628 --> 00:13:44,348 Speaker 3: deadline that we just hit last week, the only option 320 00:13:44,468 --> 00:13:46,748 Speaker 3: is to complete a one year deal that the two 321 00:13:46,788 --> 00:13:49,868 Speaker 3: sides can negotiate on the one year franchise tag into 322 00:13:49,908 --> 00:13:52,308 Speaker 3: a one year new contract. That's like the one to 323 00:13:52,388 --> 00:13:55,628 Speaker 3: one ratio. It's very rare. But that's what happened to 324 00:13:55,668 --> 00:13:58,108 Speaker 3: your smart on all sides. That was Ian Rapaport tweeting 325 00:13:58,108 --> 00:13:58,388 Speaker 3: that out. 326 00:13:58,428 --> 00:14:00,348 Speaker 5: So that's I knew they couldn't sign a long term 327 00:14:00,348 --> 00:14:02,348 Speaker 5: extension with him, right, now the one said July the 328 00:14:02,388 --> 00:14:05,788 Speaker 5: fifteenth painting game.

I think offensively, 382 00:16:23,228 --> 00:16:26,748 Speaker 5: you're gonna see a little bit more of Matt's true offense. 383 00:16:27,348 --> 00:16:29,388 Speaker 5: We have a great quarterback like Aaron. We gave him 384 00:16:29,388 --> 00:16:31,748 Speaker 5: the flexibility to change plays. I would anticipate a strong 385 00:16:31,908 --> 00:16:33,508 Speaker 5: running game in. 386 00:16:33,508 --> 00:16:36,548 Speaker 2: Play action off of that.

Here's a look at how the 395 00:16:49,748 --> 00:16:54,548 Speaker 5: Packers offense ranked last year with Rogers. Remember partially injured 396 00:16:54,588 --> 00:16:57,388 Speaker 5: with the thumb and missed the playoffs last season, and 397 00:16:57,508 --> 00:16:59,988 Speaker 5: yet here we are in New York and it's all 398 00:17:00,028 --> 00:17:01,148 Speaker 5: Aaron Rodgers all the time. 399 00:17:01,148 --> 00:17:02,148 Speaker 2: So here's my statement. 400 00:17:02,828 --> 00:17:06,988 Speaker 5: The Packers can be better offensively this year than. 401 00:17:06,908 --> 00:17:10,308 Speaker 2: They were last year. Are we in? We have Kyle 402 00:17:10,788 --> 00:17:13,508 Speaker 2: see Matt's true offense. What is hard knock starting. 403 00:17:14,188 --> 00:17:16,428 Speaker 1: We need this, We need Rogers' reactions to this, just 404 00:17:16,548 --> 00:17:19,788 Speaker 1: raw to this topic, to this question. 405 00:17:19,588 --> 00:17:21,708 Speaker 2: That is down below on the screen right. 406 00:17:21,548 --> 00:17:23,628 Speaker 8: Now, Matt's true offense. 407 00:17:24,108 --> 00:17:26,468 Speaker 1: When you have a great quarterback like Rogers who's constantly 408 00:17:26,588 --> 00:17:29,588 Speaker 1: changing Matt's plays and making them more to suit himself, 409 00:17:29,828 --> 00:17:31,748 Speaker 1: maybe could they be better with the guy who's never 410 00:17:31,748 --> 00:17:32,348 Speaker 1: done anything. 411 00:17:32,428 --> 00:17:33,468 Speaker 2: It's a great question. 412 00:17:33,908 --> 00:17:35,868 Speaker 1: So what you're saying, though, I think in the never 413 00:17:35,908 --> 00:17:38,708 Speaker 1: mind the Lafleur part, if could you have an upgrade 414 00:17:38,748 --> 00:17:41,628 Speaker 1: from an injured Rogers from last year, who I think 415 00:17:41,708 --> 00:17:45,148 Speaker 1: was mentally checked out to Jordan Love The only real 416 00:17:45,188 --> 00:17:47,628 Speaker 1: answers I don't know, and I don't know if the Packers. 417 00:17:47,948 --> 00:17:50,548 Speaker 1: Because I love Matt, I'm gonna say Look if if 418 00:17:50,548 --> 00:17:52,708 Speaker 1: I'm forced, I'm gonna say out. It's just because back 419 00:17:52,748 --> 00:17:55,988 Speaker 1: to the million dollar questions, Jordan Love good. You don't know, Peter, 420 00:17:56,508 --> 00:17:58,228 Speaker 1: I don't know if Rogers knows. I don't know if 421 00:17:58,268 --> 00:18:01,388 Speaker 1: Jordan Love knows. Sure, if he's lightning in a bottle 422 00:18:01,428 --> 00:18:05,068 Speaker 1: and Matt's true offense gets dialed up, sure could be better. 423 00:18:05,108 --> 00:18:09,228 Speaker 1: But big, even an injured, disillusioned Rogers is still a 424 00:18:09,308 --> 00:18:12,028 Speaker 1: Rodgers and I cannot wait for hard knocks. You you 425 00:18:12,068 --> 00:18:14,748 Speaker 1: guys have to put this topic in just so we 426 00:18:14,748 --> 00:18:15,908 Speaker 1: can watch twelve reactor. 427 00:18:15,908 --> 00:18:17,548 Speaker 2: Excuse me, eight, react to it? 428 00:18:17,588 --> 00:18:18,588 Speaker 7: Go ahead, eight. 429 00:18:18,668 --> 00:18:19,228 Speaker 2: I love that. 430 00:18:19,948 --> 00:18:21,108 Speaker 4: I listened to the quote news. 431 00:18:21,188 --> 00:18:22,868 Speaker 2: It's like, oh slow, now, I'm big fellow. 432 00:18:22,908 --> 00:18:25,708 Speaker 4: Mark Murphy is just like, you got Aaron Rodgers under 433 00:18:25,708 --> 00:18:28,788 Speaker 4: center for a long time, and to your point, last 434 00:18:28,828 --> 00:18:31,908 Speaker 4: season was not what we've seen over the years of 435 00:18:31,988 --> 00:18:35,108 Speaker 4: Aaron Rodgers, of the MVP seasons that he's had under 436 00:18:35,428 --> 00:18:38,268 Speaker 4: Laflora's offense, because he's changing the players or whatever you 437 00:18:38,348 --> 00:18:41,188 Speaker 4: want to call it. Jordan Love now inserts, and I 438 00:18:41,268 --> 00:18:43,108 Speaker 4: get it. There's a little bit of the fear of 439 00:18:43,148 --> 00:18:46,388 Speaker 4: the unknown, of the uncertainty, and that can go both ways. 440 00:18:46,428 --> 00:18:49,188 Speaker 4: Mark Murphy saying, Hey, we think this unknown with him 441 00:18:49,228 --> 00:18:51,588 Speaker 4: and Laflora. It may flourish and we may have a 442 00:18:51,748 --> 00:18:54,268 Speaker 4: hell of an offense. But on the other side of it, 443 00:18:54,708 --> 00:18:56,588 Speaker 4: Love gets in there and is not maybe what you 444 00:18:56,708 --> 00:18:59,748 Speaker 4: anticipated or what you thought. I'm one hundred percent out 445 00:18:59,748 --> 00:19:02,388 Speaker 4: on this. I think a quarterback as great as Aaron Rodgers. 446 00:19:02,508 --> 00:19:04,788 Speaker 4: He walks out of the door. I'm not gonna that 447 00:19:04,948 --> 00:19:07,708 Speaker 4: very next year, the team in the offense just instantly 448 00:19:07,788 --> 00:19:10,588 Speaker 4: gets better. It takes time to transition into a new 449 00:19:10,628 --> 00:19:13,908 Speaker 4: person under center, being the guy, especially when somebody of 450 00:19:13,948 --> 00:19:16,068 Speaker 4: Aaron Rodgers caliber just walked out the door. 451 00:19:16,988 --> 00:19:19,748 Speaker 3: Oh gosh, I hear you on the I don't know, 452 00:19:19,788 --> 00:19:22,068 Speaker 3: because there's a lot outside that quote that we don't 453 00:19:22,068 --> 00:19:23,548 Speaker 3: know about Jordan Love. But I want to focus on 454 00:19:23,548 --> 00:19:26,828 Speaker 3: the question at hand, and I'm going to go in 455 00:19:27,108 --> 00:19:29,668 Speaker 3: okay only because I don't I don't think it'll be 456 00:19:29,668 --> 00:19:33,428 Speaker 3: that much harder to jump over seventeenth. That full screen 457 00:19:33,508 --> 00:19:36,788 Speaker 3: is like they're rank seventeenth and something. Fifteenth if you're 458 00:19:36,788 --> 00:19:39,468 Speaker 3: telling me better, is like thirteenth, twelfth in the. 459 00:19:39,428 --> 00:19:40,428 Speaker 2: League, Like pretty good. 460 00:19:40,468 --> 00:19:43,188 Speaker 3: Sure that's true, But like I think they can do it, frankly, 461 00:19:43,268 --> 00:19:44,988 Speaker 3: because we don't know what the Bears are going to 462 00:19:45,028 --> 00:19:47,828 Speaker 3: turn into. Like you're talking about games within your division, 463 00:19:48,228 --> 00:19:49,748 Speaker 3: you know who knows what they're going to do against 464 00:19:49,748 --> 00:19:53,148 Speaker 3: the Lions. So that's two teams a year that you're 465 00:19:53,148 --> 00:19:55,188 Speaker 3: going to face the Vikings. That's always a great battle. 466 00:19:55,268 --> 00:19:56,628 Speaker 3: Like if you're telling me that you just have to 467 00:19:56,668 --> 00:19:58,348 Speaker 3: be a little bit better, and I can say in 468 00:19:58,428 --> 00:20:00,428 Speaker 3: on my question, then I will say in I would 469 00:20:00,428 --> 00:20:00,828 Speaker 3: look at. 470 00:20:00,748 --> 00:20:03,708 Speaker 5: The Lafloor offense from what you think it is, and 471 00:20:03,748 --> 00:20:06,588 Speaker 5: it's the Shanna Hand running offense, where it's you've got 472 00:20:06,628 --> 00:20:08,348 Speaker 5: just all this different running attack and it's the wide 473 00:20:08,428 --> 00:20:10,468 Speaker 5: zone and all that, and you think, Okay, you got Dylan, 474 00:20:10,668 --> 00:20:13,108 Speaker 5: You've got Aaron Jones, You've got other guys, and then 475 00:20:13,148 --> 00:20:15,268 Speaker 5: you hope that you have a leap from Christian Watson. 476 00:20:15,268 --> 00:20:17,028 Speaker 2: You hope that Romeo dub steps. 477 00:20:16,668 --> 00:20:18,348 Speaker 5: It up, and you hope that some of these other 478 00:20:18,428 --> 00:20:21,428 Speaker 5: young guys be like gosh, that that is asking a 479 00:20:21,428 --> 00:20:23,988 Speaker 5: lot for the office. I think the defense actually is 480 00:20:24,028 --> 00:20:26,308 Speaker 5: their stronger unit heading into this season. I'm going to 481 00:20:26,388 --> 00:20:29,828 Speaker 5: say I'm out, but like Jamie open to see what 482 00:20:29,908 --> 00:20:32,348 Speaker 5: happens and exactly what Matt's true offense can be. 483 00:20:34,628 --> 00:20:39,108 Speaker 2: Hashtag yeah wash. I mean, I know it's like. 484 00:20:39,148 --> 00:20:42,148 Speaker 1: They start like one and three. There's that's a loaded 485 00:20:42,188 --> 00:20:43,468 Speaker 1: frame if. 486 00:20:43,428 --> 00:20:45,108 Speaker 5: Like Laflora interviews like here's what I want to do, 487 00:20:45,148 --> 00:20:46,988 Speaker 5: and then for three years just couldn't instead had a 488 00:20:46,988 --> 00:20:59,468 Speaker 5: two time MVP and son holding them back.

We have a short, little five yard in 504 00:21:40,508 --> 00:21:42,588 Speaker 9: route to Evan Ingram singled up on the outside or 505 00:21:42,748 --> 00:21:44,628 Speaker 9: runner two by two, so he's outside at number one, 506 00:21:44,748 --> 00:21:47,108 Speaker 9: just gonna run a five yard in bang your completion, 507 00:21:47,268 --> 00:21:49,948 Speaker 9: keep this change move well, Trevor pumps him. Trevor gives 508 00:21:49,988 --> 00:21:52,788 Speaker 9: him a double move. Evan doesn't necessarily win right away, 509 00:21:52,788 --> 00:21:54,668 Speaker 9: but Trevor puts in a spot. Reven's got a chance 510 00:21:54,668 --> 00:21:56,948 Speaker 9: to go get it. Make a play that kind of 511 00:21:57,068 --> 00:22:00,028 Speaker 9: just right there showed you the confidence, the ownership he 512 00:22:00,148 --> 00:22:03,188 Speaker 9: had in the system himself. You know, I think that 513 00:22:03,268 --> 00:22:05,108 Speaker 9: game he's thirty of forty two. 514 00:22:05,108 --> 00:22:06,508 Speaker 2: For playing on a bad ankle. 515 00:22:06,668 --> 00:22:08,388 Speaker 9: Yeah yeah, playing on a game we didn't even know 516 00:22:08,388 --> 00:22:10,788 Speaker 9: if he played it, and that really sparked us. I 517 00:22:10,788 --> 00:22:13,068 Speaker 9: think that kind of kicked us into five six game win. 518 00:22:12,988 --> 00:22:14,308 Speaker 8: Streak or something like that at the time. 519 00:22:14,388 --> 00:22:19,788 Speaker 5: So Press Taylor was correct. That game was the start 520 00:22:19,828 --> 00:22:22,548 Speaker 5: of a five game win streak to end the regular season. 521 00:22:22,548 --> 00:22:25,068 Speaker 5: The Jags were stretched to six when they beat the 522 00:22:25,148 --> 00:22:27,348 Speaker 5: Chargers in the wild card rounds. So here's my statement 523 00:22:27,388 --> 00:22:29,748 Speaker 5: here with Trevor Lawrence under center. It looks like the 524 00:22:29,788 --> 00:22:32,268 Speaker 5: Jaguars certainly are the team to beat in the AFC 525 00:22:32,308 --> 00:22:35,188 Speaker 5: South again. But are any of you guys bold enough 526 00:22:35,508 --> 00:22:37,228 Speaker 5: to go to that next level to put him in 527 00:22:37,228 --> 00:22:42,748 Speaker 5: that Josh Allen Burrow Mahomes Rogers MVP conversation twenty twenty three, Jason, 528 00:22:42,988 --> 00:22:45,188 Speaker 5: I feel like you were the house band for the Jaguars. 529 00:22:45,188 --> 00:22:46,868 Speaker 5: He saw him about six times at the end of 530 00:22:46,948 --> 00:22:48,388 Speaker 5: the season doing games for West. 531 00:22:48,428 --> 00:22:50,428 Speaker 2: Would want Trevor Lawrence. 532 00:22:50,188 --> 00:22:52,588 Speaker 4: Your thoughts delete he made in the second half of 533 00:22:52,628 --> 00:22:55,548 Speaker 4: the season. You can assume almost all right, he's going 534 00:22:55,588 --> 00:22:57,748 Speaker 4: into next year, second year with Doug Peterson that he's 535 00:22:57,748 --> 00:23:00,828 Speaker 4: going to continue to ascend. My question for him to 536 00:23:00,828 --> 00:23:03,268 Speaker 4: being a MVP conversation, who is going to be the 537 00:23:03,348 --> 00:23:05,988 Speaker 4: superstar catching a ball for him? Because you look at 538 00:23:06,068 --> 00:23:08,668 Speaker 4: Jalen Hursts who jumped them to that MVP conversation. AJ 539 00:23:08,788 --> 00:23:11,548 Speaker 4: Brown comes over, he goes for fourteen hundred yards. So 540 00:23:11,668 --> 00:23:13,908 Speaker 4: is a Calvin Ridley coming back? Is a Christian Kirk? 541 00:23:14,188 --> 00:23:16,068 Speaker 4: That I think is what needs to happen for him 542 00:23:16,108 --> 00:23:18,388 Speaker 4: to be in that conversation. I feel like he's trending 543 00:23:18,388 --> 00:23:20,388 Speaker 4: towards that way, and I do I am bold enough 544 00:23:20,428 --> 00:23:22,908 Speaker 4: to say if a Calvin Ridley, if a Christian Kirk 545 00:23:23,068 --> 00:23:25,708 Speaker 4: can be that guy that goes for twelve thirteen hundred yards, 546 00:23:25,828 --> 00:23:27,988 Speaker 4: I do think Trevor Lawrence could be in that conversation. 547 00:23:28,068 --> 00:23:30,628 Speaker 4: By hey, he could positly win an MVP this upcoming season. 548 00:23:30,668 --> 00:23:33,948 Speaker 1: Three ingredients massive stats, gotta have that got to be 549 00:23:33,988 --> 00:23:36,708 Speaker 1: in the playoffs, and that third all important ingredient. You 550 00:23:36,788 --> 00:23:39,108 Speaker 1: need a story. I think in this area you need 551 00:23:39,148 --> 00:23:41,948 Speaker 1: an angle. There are seven teams who have never had 552 00:23:41,948 --> 00:23:44,868 Speaker 1: an MVP. There is one team who has never had 553 00:23:44,868 --> 00:23:48,548 Speaker 1: a first place vote for MVP and is the Jacksonville dollars. 554 00:23:48,668 --> 00:23:53,388 Speaker 1: I've never had one. That's your story. That's a cool deal, Jaguars. 555 00:23:53,388 --> 00:23:55,428 Speaker 1: An MVP got to put up huge numbers, get in 556 00:23:55,468 --> 00:23:55,868 Speaker 1: the playoffs. 557 00:23:55,868 --> 00:23:56,228 Speaker 2: You can do it. 558 00:23:56,308 --> 00:23:58,348 Speaker 6: They've got a hell of a schedule outside their division. 559 00:23:58,388 --> 00:24:00,508 Speaker 3: They play the Chiefs, they play the Bills, they play 560 00:24:00,508 --> 00:24:02,708 Speaker 3: the forty nine ers, and they play the Bengals and 561 00:24:02,748 --> 00:24:07,388 Speaker 3: the Ravens. I mean that if he can win those games, absolutely. 562 00:24:11,388 --> 00:24:13,548 Speaker 5: Perfect guest to have on right now, as we learn 563 00:24:13,628 --> 00:24:16,308 Speaker 5: that Saquon Barkley is signed a one year deal with 564 00:24:16,388 --> 00:24:18,588 Speaker 5: the New York Giants, we now welcome to the show 565 00:24:18,668 --> 00:24:21,388 Speaker 5: our NFL network front office analyst who has been in 566 00:24:21,468 --> 00:24:22,828 Speaker 5: quite a few negotiations. 567 00:24:23,028 --> 00:24:30,068 Speaker 1: So mister Scott, good morning everyone, Good morning, welcome back. 568 00:24:31,188 --> 00:24:32,428 Speaker 2: Thank you, Deil Scott. 569 00:24:32,508 --> 00:24:35,948 Speaker 5: Giants veterans reporting the camp today in East Rutherford, and 570 00:24:36,188 --> 00:24:38,748 Speaker 5: number twenty six will be there and he will not. 571 00:24:38,748 --> 00:24:39,508 Speaker 2: Be a holdout. 572 00:24:39,868 --> 00:24:41,908 Speaker 5: You're seeing all this news, you're watching the show. What 573 00:24:41,948 --> 00:24:44,628 Speaker 5: are your thoughts on the deal that Joe Shane helped 574 00:24:44,708 --> 00:24:47,908 Speaker 5: work out with Saquon Barkley. 575 00:24:48,188 --> 00:24:49,948 Speaker 10: Peter, I see a couple of things here, and I 576 00:24:49,948 --> 00:24:52,508 Speaker 10: think it was a smart move for both sides. At 577 00:24:52,548 --> 00:24:53,868 Speaker 10: the end of the day, this is what it tells 578 00:24:53,868 --> 00:24:57,148 Speaker 10: you about Saquon Barkley. Saquon Barkley is a football player 579 00:24:57,428 --> 00:24:59,788 Speaker 10: that wants to play football, so he was going to 580 00:24:59,788 --> 00:25:02,348 Speaker 10: make sure that he was there. He realized he took 581 00:25:02,388 --> 00:25:05,148 Speaker 10: the leverage, what little leverage he had as far as 582 00:25:05,188 --> 00:25:08,468 Speaker 10: he could. He relied on the Giants doing the right 583 00:25:08,508 --> 00:25:11,588 Speaker 10: thing and Joe Shane and I'll put Brian Daball in 584 00:25:11,628 --> 00:25:14,788 Speaker 10: here too, because Brian was with us the year that 585 00:25:14,868 --> 00:25:18,748 Speaker 10: Dion Branch held out after winning Super Bowl MVP. He 586 00:25:18,828 --> 00:25:21,908 Speaker 10: saw the impact that it had on the team. And 587 00:25:21,948 --> 00:25:25,228 Speaker 10: the fact is we had to trade Dion Branch. Brian 588 00:25:25,308 --> 00:25:28,428 Speaker 10: knew that in order for he and Joe to continue 589 00:25:28,468 --> 00:25:31,788 Speaker 10: to get trust from his team, from his players, that 590 00:25:31,828 --> 00:25:34,988 Speaker 10: they probably had to do something not only to keep 591 00:25:35,028 --> 00:25:37,988 Speaker 10: the team together, but to make sure that there was 592 00:25:38,068 --> 00:25:41,388 Speaker 10: continued trust. The other thing is this, Brian da Ball 593 00:25:41,548 --> 00:25:44,388 Speaker 10: is rooted in the running game. He knows the running game, 594 00:25:44,508 --> 00:25:47,628 Speaker 10: He uses the running game in order to go into 595 00:25:47,708 --> 00:25:51,908 Speaker 10: the passing game. Having Saquon Barkley was incredibly important to Brian. 596 00:25:52,428 --> 00:25:54,708 Speaker 10: So the Giants I think made a very good decision 597 00:25:54,788 --> 00:25:57,828 Speaker 10: by moving a little bit. But even better, Saquon is 598 00:25:57,868 --> 00:25:59,468 Speaker 10: going to be in a place because this is just 599 00:25:59,508 --> 00:26:02,628 Speaker 10: a guy that loves football. So respect to everybody involved 600 00:26:02,628 --> 00:26:03,308 Speaker 10: on this one. 601 00:26:04,548 --> 00:26:07,188 Speaker 4: Yeah, Saquan gets his deal done, but there's another running 602 00:26:07,228 --> 00:26:09,628 Speaker 4: back in Las Vegas, and you mentioned Joe Shane and 603 00:26:09,668 --> 00:26:13,028 Speaker 4: Brian Dable. What do Dave Zigglern Josh McDaniels need to 604 00:26:13,068 --> 00:26:16,268 Speaker 4: possibly do with now Josh Jacobs being the only one 605 00:26:16,268 --> 00:26:18,268 Speaker 4: who's on the franchise tag who's not going to be 606 00:26:18,308 --> 00:26:19,668 Speaker 4: shown up for training camp. 607 00:26:21,108 --> 00:26:21,468 Speaker 8: Jason. 608 00:26:21,468 --> 00:26:23,628 Speaker 10: That's a great question and a great point because again 609 00:26:23,748 --> 00:26:26,788 Speaker 10: Josh McDaniels also lived through a couple of holdouts. He 610 00:26:26,908 --> 00:26:30,228 Speaker 10: was there again for the Dion Branch issue in New 611 00:26:30,268 --> 00:26:33,828 Speaker 10: England a number of years ago. He also saw the 612 00:26:33,868 --> 00:26:37,748 Speaker 10: franchise tag and the complications with Adam Venit Terry. So 613 00:26:37,948 --> 00:26:41,228 Speaker 10: Josh also has some historical knowledge knowing how that can 614 00:26:41,268 --> 00:26:44,668 Speaker 10: impact his locker room. I don't think that the Saquon Barkley, 615 00:26:45,348 --> 00:26:47,908 Speaker 10: you know, the fact that he signed is going to 616 00:26:48,028 --> 00:26:49,988 Speaker 10: change things, but it is going to put a little 617 00:26:50,028 --> 00:26:52,908 Speaker 10: bit more pressure in the sense that it's the only 618 00:26:52,908 --> 00:26:54,628 Speaker 10: one out there, so people are going to be talking 619 00:26:54,628 --> 00:26:57,308 Speaker 10: about this more and more, And the fact is this, 620 00:26:57,788 --> 00:27:01,188 Speaker 10: we love drama, especially in training camp, meaning the media. 621 00:27:01,308 --> 00:27:03,028 Speaker 10: There's going to be a lot of focus on this. 622 00:27:03,308 --> 00:27:05,588 Speaker 10: So this is probably going to make things a little 623 00:27:05,628 --> 00:27:11,108 Speaker 10: bit more prickly for Dave and for Josh McDaniels as 624 00:27:11,148 --> 00:27:13,348 Speaker 10: they move forward, because this is a player again. Josh 625 00:27:13,428 --> 00:27:16,828 Speaker 10: McDaniels is another person with his offense who believes in 626 00:27:16,868 --> 00:27:19,348 Speaker 10: the running game and needs a running back. This is 627 00:27:19,388 --> 00:27:21,068 Speaker 10: going to be a very important move for them to 628 00:27:21,108 --> 00:27:23,508 Speaker 10: find a way to bridge this gap and get Josh 629 00:27:23,628 --> 00:27:24,868 Speaker 10: Jacobs in also. 630 00:27:26,348 --> 00:27:28,228 Speaker 2: Scott. It's much bigger than Jacobs. 631 00:27:28,268 --> 00:27:30,588 Speaker 1: As you know, the running backs are having an emergency 632 00:27:30,708 --> 00:27:33,748 Speaker 1: zoom session. They're connecting to audio to talk about the 633 00:27:33,748 --> 00:27:37,028 Speaker 1: state of their position. Austin Eckler, Dalvin Cook at al 634 00:27:37,388 --> 00:27:40,148 Speaker 1: Suda give you the floor. You live and breathe this stuff. 635 00:27:40,548 --> 00:27:43,708 Speaker 1: How are you feeling right now about their plights, their 636 00:27:43,748 --> 00:27:46,268 Speaker 1: future and the state of the professional running back? 637 00:27:48,188 --> 00:27:51,188 Speaker 10: Kyle, It's interesting because I've been watching this and trying 638 00:27:51,268 --> 00:27:53,748 Speaker 10: and scratching my head a little bit saying, Wow, we've 639 00:27:53,748 --> 00:27:56,748 Speaker 10: got a union that's being created within the union, right, 640 00:27:56,788 --> 00:28:00,788 Speaker 10: this is a subgroup within the Players Association and As 641 00:28:00,788 --> 00:28:03,588 Speaker 10: I look at this in one sense, I see, Wow, 642 00:28:03,628 --> 00:28:05,148 Speaker 10: this game is really changing a lot. 643 00:28:05,188 --> 00:28:06,948 Speaker 8: The dynamics of the business of. 644 00:28:06,828 --> 00:28:09,148 Speaker 10: This game is really changing a lot, where you've actually 645 00:28:09,188 --> 00:28:12,268 Speaker 10: got players from different teams coming together within a small 646 00:28:12,308 --> 00:28:15,028 Speaker 10: segment of the population. But then I look at it 647 00:28:15,068 --> 00:28:18,028 Speaker 10: this way, I don't think the safeties around the NFL, 648 00:28:18,188 --> 00:28:20,508 Speaker 10: or the guards around the NFL, or the tackles around 649 00:28:20,508 --> 00:28:23,668 Speaker 10: the NFL really care about the running backs plight and 650 00:28:23,708 --> 00:28:24,868 Speaker 10: what their problems are. 651 00:28:25,268 --> 00:28:26,388 Speaker 8: What they want to do. 652 00:28:26,348 --> 00:28:29,468 Speaker 10: Is make sure sure they're interested because maybe if the 653 00:28:29,508 --> 00:28:32,908 Speaker 10: running back market changes, all of the markets change. But 654 00:28:32,988 --> 00:28:35,868 Speaker 10: this is a very interesting dynamic that I really don't understand. 655 00:28:35,908 --> 00:28:39,028 Speaker 10: It's almost like this story has been created for this 656 00:28:39,108 --> 00:28:44,028 Speaker 10: group of players that is maybe going to impact the 657 00:28:44,028 --> 00:28:47,028 Speaker 10: rest of the players, but maybe not. I understand what 658 00:28:47,108 --> 00:28:49,308 Speaker 10: the running backs are feeling because they have their own 659 00:28:49,308 --> 00:28:51,908 Speaker 10: little group. But to me, this is one of those 660 00:28:51,948 --> 00:28:54,868 Speaker 10: things that's a story that's not a story in a sense. 661 00:28:56,508 --> 00:28:57,028 Speaker 2: Makes sense. 662 00:28:57,148 --> 00:29:00,868 Speaker 5: Scott, in regards to players holding out and players not 663 00:29:00,868 --> 00:29:02,828 Speaker 5: sharing up for camp, you like this. Belichick's on the 664 00:29:02,868 --> 00:29:05,348 Speaker 5: podium right now that it's asked them about a player 665 00:29:05,348 --> 00:29:07,948 Speaker 5: whether he's going to be there he goes, it's football season. 666 00:29:08,228 --> 00:29:09,748 Speaker 5: Most players play football, and. 667 00:29:11,308 --> 00:29:14,268 Speaker 2: I know that one. There you go, Scott, that's it, thanks. 668 00:29:14,068 --> 00:29:16,468 Speaker 5: For always joining us. 669 00:29:15,268 --> 00:29:17,748 Speaker 8: There that's the old Parcels line. 670 00:29:17,788 --> 00:29:22,828 Speaker 10: Hey, he said. Parcels said, it come football season. Football 671 00:29:22,868 --> 00:29:25,308 Speaker 10: players play football, and it was one of the things. 672 00:29:25,828 --> 00:29:26,988 Speaker 8: Yeah, of course they do. 673 00:29:27,588 --> 00:29:30,188 Speaker 10: But it's you know, it's it's the people that love 674 00:29:30,268 --> 00:29:33,468 Speaker 10: the game are going to be there and again work 675 00:29:33,508 --> 00:29:35,788 Speaker 10: on the contract the next year. But I also understand 676 00:29:35,828 --> 00:29:38,548 Speaker 10: how players want to maximize their earnings. They have to 677 00:29:38,628 --> 00:29:41,988 Speaker 10: and they must because it's, you know, this is how 678 00:29:42,028 --> 00:29:43,388 Speaker 10: they make a living. This is how they take care 679 00:29:43,388 --> 00:29:47,108 Speaker 10: of themselves when their job and career stops in their thirties.
