It's time 7 00:00:40,308 --> 00:00:43,668 Speaker 1: for the lead block. We're gonna start with the Cleveland Browns. 8 00:00:43,868 --> 00:00:46,708 Speaker 1: Deshaun Watson has been suspended four eleven games this season, 9 00:00:46,748 --> 00:00:48,948 Speaker 1: and he will be fined five million dollars for violating 10 00:00:48,988 --> 00:00:51,748 Speaker 1: the NFL's personal conduct policy. This is all part of 11 00:00:51,748 --> 00:00:54,668 Speaker 1: a settlement reached between the league and the NFL Players Association. 12 00:00:54,748 --> 00:00:58,588 Speaker 1: The settlement will also require Watson to undergo a professional 13 00:00:58,588 --> 00:01:02,468 Speaker 1: evaluation and treatment. Watson and owner Jimmy Haslam spoke about 14 00:01:02,508 --> 00:01:05,668 Speaker 1: the decision yesterday afternoon. First off, I want to say, uh, 15 00:01:06,068 --> 00:01:08,388 Speaker 1: you know, I'm very grateful for the NFL and the 16 00:01:08,468 --> 00:01:12,068 Speaker 1: nfl PA for this disciplinary process to be you know, 17 00:01:12,108 --> 00:01:14,668 Speaker 1: to a close and to an ending and have some clarity. 18 00:01:14,988 --> 00:01:17,388 Speaker 1: And I'm looking forward to just moving forward with my career. 19 00:01:17,588 --> 00:01:19,148 Speaker 1: And I've been able to get back on the field 20 00:01:19,148 --> 00:01:21,628 Speaker 1: as soon as possible. But yeah, that's that's the plan, 21 00:01:21,748 --> 00:01:24,348 Speaker 1: is to continue to grudge a person an individual and 22 00:01:24,428 --> 00:01:27,668 Speaker 1: keep pushing forward. I've always stood on my innocence and 23 00:01:27,868 --> 00:01:30,988 Speaker 1: always said that I've never assaulted anyone or disrespected anyone, 24 00:01:30,988 --> 00:01:32,948 Speaker 1: and I'm continued to stand on that. But at the 25 00:01:32,948 --> 00:01:34,708 Speaker 1: same time, I have to continue to push forward with 26 00:01:34,748 --> 00:01:36,828 Speaker 1: my life in my career, and for us to be 27 00:01:36,868 --> 00:01:38,628 Speaker 1: able to move forward, you know, I have to be 28 00:01:38,668 --> 00:01:40,588 Speaker 1: able to take steps and pit prior to the side. 29 00:01:40,588 --> 00:01:43,188 Speaker 1: And I'm gonna continue to stand on my innocence and 30 00:01:43,748 --> 00:01:47,748 Speaker 1: keep pushing forward. And I've always stood on not disrespecting 31 00:01:47,828 --> 00:01:52,108 Speaker 1: or sexual assaulting anyone. I think in this country and 32 00:01:52,188 --> 00:01:55,788 Speaker 1: hopefully in the world, people deserve second chances. Okay, I 33 00:01:55,868 --> 00:01:58,748 Speaker 1: really think that. Then I struggle a little bit. Is 34 00:01:59,108 --> 00:02:01,588 Speaker 1: he never supposed to play again? Is he never supposed 35 00:02:01,588 --> 00:02:04,308 Speaker 1: to be part of society? Does he get no chance 36 00:02:04,508 --> 00:02:08,468 Speaker 1: to rehabilitate himself? And that's what we're going to do, Okay. 37 00:02:08,588 --> 00:02:11,348 Speaker 1: And you can say, well, that's because he's a star quarterback, well, 38 00:02:11,348 --> 00:02:15,308 Speaker 1: of course, but if he was Joe Smith, he wouldn't 39 00:02:15,348 --> 00:02:19,028 Speaker 1: be on the headlines every day. So we think people 40 00:02:19,068 --> 00:02:21,548 Speaker 1: deserve a second chance. It doesn't mean we don't have 41 00:02:21,588 --> 00:02:24,148 Speaker 1: empathy for people affect it and we will continue to 42 00:02:24,148 --> 00:02:28,388 Speaker 1: do so. But we strongly believe, strongly believe people deserve 43 00:02:28,468 --> 00:02:31,628 Speaker 1: a second chance. We believe Deshaun Watson deserves a second chance. 44 00:02:31,828 --> 00:02:34,948 Speaker 1: Commissioner Roger Goodell issued a statement yesterday also that read, 45 00:02:35,028 --> 00:02:37,508 Speaker 1: Deshaun has committed to doing the hard work on himself 46 00:02:37,508 --> 00:02:39,788 Speaker 1: that is necessary for his return to the NFL. The 47 00:02:39,828 --> 00:02:43,508 Speaker 1: settlement requires compliance with a professional evaluation and treatment plan, 48 00:02:43,828 --> 00:02:47,268 Speaker 1: a significant fine, and a more substantial suspension. We are 49 00:02:47,308 --> 00:02:49,948 Speaker 1: grateful to Judge Robinson and Peter Harvey for their efforts 50 00:02:49,948 --> 00:02:53,108 Speaker 1: in addressing these matters which lead the foundation for reaching 51 00:02:53,268 --> 00:02:56,828 Speaker 1: this conclusion. As for what is next for Cleveland, our 52 00:02:56,868 --> 00:02:59,668 Speaker 1: own James Palmer was at Brown's practice yesterday when this 53 00:02:59,788 --> 00:03:03,508 Speaker 1: news broke. There's a very uncertain morning here in Bryo, Ohio. 54 00:03:03,628 --> 00:03:06,428 Speaker 1: When the news the settlement came down that Deshaun Watson 55 00:03:06,468 --> 00:03:10,108 Speaker 1: would be suspended for eleven games and find five million dollars. 56 00:03:10,108 --> 00:03:12,748 Speaker 1: What would be next for the quarterback of the Cleveland Browns. 57 00:03:12,748 --> 00:03:15,588 Speaker 1: Well Head coach Kevin Stefanski stated that Deshaun Watson would 58 00:03:15,668 --> 00:03:18,228 Speaker 1: not play in the final two preseason games, but he 59 00:03:18,268 --> 00:03:21,708 Speaker 1: would continue to practice, which he is legally allowed to do. 60 00:03:21,788 --> 00:03:24,748 Speaker 1: So we saw Watson take the field against the Philadelphia Eagles, 61 00:03:24,788 --> 00:03:26,868 Speaker 1: actually much later than the rest of the players from 62 00:03:26,908 --> 00:03:29,028 Speaker 1: both teams took the field and then stayed an extra 63 00:03:29,068 --> 00:03:32,028 Speaker 1: twenty minutes after practice working on his own, something he's 64 00:03:32,028 --> 00:03:34,588 Speaker 1: going to be doing after August thirtieth, when he is 65 00:03:34,668 --> 00:03:36,908 Speaker 1: away from the team serving his suspension. I had a 66 00:03:36,988 --> 00:03:39,788 Speaker 1: chance to speak to his personal quarterback coach, Quincy Averreew 67 00:03:39,868 --> 00:03:41,868 Speaker 1: told me they're going to do everything and go over 68 00:03:41,948 --> 00:03:44,668 Speaker 1: every aspect of playing quarterback in the NFL, from the 69 00:03:44,708 --> 00:03:46,948 Speaker 1: mental side of things, to watching film, to going over 70 00:03:46,988 --> 00:03:49,388 Speaker 1: to his mechanics, to going over routes in the playbook, 71 00:03:49,588 --> 00:03:51,708 Speaker 1: everything to keep him ready from when he's allowed to 72 00:03:51,708 --> 00:03:53,948 Speaker 1: return to the team on November twenty eighth. But for 73 00:03:54,028 --> 00:03:56,908 Speaker 1: that time period, it is going to be Jacoby Brissett's team. 74 00:03:56,948 --> 00:03:59,028 Speaker 1: I've been told by multiple people in the building that 75 00:03:59,108 --> 00:04:02,268 Speaker 1: they obviously will evaluate the quarterback position just like every 76 00:04:02,308 --> 00:04:04,548 Speaker 1: other position, but they put themselves in place to have 77 00:04:04,668 --> 00:04:07,268 Speaker 1: Jacoby Brissette be their starter. And this is something that 78 00:04:07,308 --> 00:04:09,628 Speaker 1: he has done in the past remember when Andrew Luck 79 00:04:09,788 --> 00:04:13,428 Speaker 1: retired abruptly at the end of the twenty nineteen training camp. 80 00:04:13,508 --> 00:04:18,188 Speaker 1: He played that season with very very little notice. All Right, James, 81 00:04:18,188 --> 00:04:20,748 Speaker 1: thank you. That was a lot of information to take 82 00:04:20,828 --> 00:04:24,708 Speaker 1: in in Cleveland. Obviously, the agreement was reached between the 83 00:04:24,788 --> 00:04:27,228 Speaker 1: NFL and the NFLPA. Another layer to that is the 84 00:04:27,228 --> 00:04:28,908 Speaker 1: fact that those two parties are going to be the 85 00:04:28,948 --> 00:04:30,828 Speaker 1: ones that have to come to terms with who that 86 00:04:30,948 --> 00:04:33,588 Speaker 1: the healthcare provider is that will set forth the plan 87 00:04:33,708 --> 00:04:36,788 Speaker 1: for Deshaun Watson and the treatment that he has to undergo. 88 00:04:37,148 --> 00:04:39,508 Speaker 1: A lot to react to and to take in. We've 89 00:04:39,508 --> 00:04:42,348 Speaker 1: been experiencing this for the last eighteen months as people 90 00:04:42,348 --> 00:04:44,548 Speaker 1: that are involved in the NFL, and now feels like 91 00:04:44,588 --> 00:04:47,188 Speaker 1: over the last eighteen days since the news really broke 92 00:04:47,228 --> 00:04:49,468 Speaker 1: about the initial suspension and everything that has gone on 93 00:04:49,508 --> 00:04:52,268 Speaker 1: since then. So now that we understand what will happen 94 00:04:52,348 --> 00:04:54,028 Speaker 1: over the next couple of months, what was your reaction 95 00:04:54,108 --> 00:04:56,308 Speaker 1: to this news. I try to get an understanding of 96 00:04:56,628 --> 00:05:00,028 Speaker 1: kind of both sides when it came to the settlement NFLPA. 97 00:05:00,188 --> 00:05:02,708 Speaker 1: From the NFL side, the biggest thing they wanted was 98 00:05:02,988 --> 00:05:05,708 Speaker 1: they wanted to get treatment for Deshaun Watson as soon 99 00:05:05,748 --> 00:05:09,188 Speaker 1: as possible, So getting a deal done allows the evaluation 100 00:05:09,308 --> 00:05:13,068 Speaker 1: process to start. For the NFLPA, they wanted to support Deshaun. 101 00:05:13,228 --> 00:05:16,228 Speaker 1: They wanted to respect the process in which was collectively 102 00:05:16,268 --> 00:05:18,788 Speaker 1: bargained of the NFL and the PA of what they 103 00:05:18,868 --> 00:05:22,148 Speaker 1: decided for discipline wise, and they wanted equal treatment for everybody, 104 00:05:22,188 --> 00:05:24,868 Speaker 1: for players and owners. Are like their biggest thing was 105 00:05:25,148 --> 00:05:27,788 Speaker 1: Deshaun did something. There's been owners that have done stuff. 106 00:05:28,028 --> 00:05:30,148 Speaker 1: We want the punishment, we want the process to be 107 00:05:30,188 --> 00:05:32,788 Speaker 1: exactly the same. For me, this thing just felt like, 108 00:05:33,188 --> 00:05:35,388 Speaker 1: let's get it over with so we can move on. Sure, 109 00:05:35,548 --> 00:05:36,988 Speaker 1: how many games should it be? Should it be a 110 00:05:36,988 --> 00:05:39,748 Speaker 1: full season? Well it shouldn't be six. Well, all right, 111 00:05:39,788 --> 00:05:43,868 Speaker 1: you say seventeen, I'll say we'll just go eleven and 112 00:05:43,908 --> 00:05:45,508 Speaker 1: we'll move on and we'll be able to get on 113 00:05:45,588 --> 00:05:48,068 Speaker 1: with Week one of the NFL. And so for me, 114 00:05:48,188 --> 00:05:50,348 Speaker 1: that was the tough thing about it. It didn't feel 115 00:05:50,348 --> 00:05:52,788 Speaker 1: as though there was a ton of light. All right, 116 00:05:52,788 --> 00:05:55,028 Speaker 1: this is the best thing moving forward. Let's do it 117 00:05:55,068 --> 00:05:58,348 Speaker 1: this way, because that way it's not. It was just like, no, like, 118 00:05:58,748 --> 00:06:00,428 Speaker 1: I want to move on and play with my career. 119 00:06:00,628 --> 00:06:02,228 Speaker 1: I want to move on and get to the rest 120 00:06:02,228 --> 00:06:04,628 Speaker 1: of the NFL games and stop talking about this and 121 00:06:04,708 --> 00:06:07,668 Speaker 1: start only focusing on football. So it just felt I 122 00:06:07,708 --> 00:06:10,188 Speaker 1: can't say rush because it's been a long process of time, 123 00:06:10,428 --> 00:06:13,268 Speaker 1: but this ending part felt like I just want to 124 00:06:13,268 --> 00:06:15,628 Speaker 1: have one more conversation. Everybody would discuss it for this 125 00:06:15,748 --> 00:06:17,668 Speaker 1: up now is close to the weekend. It will be 126 00:06:17,708 --> 00:06:20,148 Speaker 1: discussed on Friday. By time we'll come back on Monday, 127 00:06:20,228 --> 00:06:23,108 Speaker 1: we'll be talking about a weekend slew of preseason games 128 00:06:23,228 --> 00:06:25,588 Speaker 1: and it'll be old news. So it just felt like, hey, 129 00:06:25,668 --> 00:06:27,628 Speaker 1: let's push it out there and move on to the 130 00:06:27,668 --> 00:06:30,508 Speaker 1: other side of it. Is all the contradicting statements of 131 00:06:30,988 --> 00:06:35,428 Speaker 1: the remorse was not so yeah, I hear you, What 132 00:06:35,548 --> 00:06:38,108 Speaker 1: the hell was that in Cleveland yesterday? What was that? 133 00:06:38,108 --> 00:06:39,828 Speaker 1: That was the plan? That was the presentation? Did you 134 00:06:39,828 --> 00:06:41,588 Speaker 1: walk through it? Did you think about what you're gonna say? 135 00:06:41,708 --> 00:06:45,188 Speaker 1: What you're talking about here? March Brown's quarterback to Shaun Watson, 136 00:06:45,388 --> 00:06:48,188 Speaker 1: I never did anything these people are alleging, I have 137 00:06:48,268 --> 00:06:52,068 Speaker 1: no regrets. Last week, as discipline hung in the balance 138 00:06:52,428 --> 00:06:54,908 Speaker 1: and he's thinking maybe I might get an entire season, 139 00:06:55,228 --> 00:06:57,428 Speaker 1: you do the hush tones and you look down last week. 140 00:06:57,508 --> 00:06:59,268 Speaker 1: I am truly sorry to all the women I have 141 00:06:59,308 --> 00:07:01,468 Speaker 1: impacked in the situation. My decisions I've made in my 142 00:07:01,468 --> 00:07:03,188 Speaker 1: life that have put me in this position. I would 143 00:07:03,268 --> 00:07:06,988 Speaker 1: definitely like to have back. Dicipline comes down, it's eleven games, 144 00:07:06,988 --> 00:07:10,428 Speaker 1: it's five million yesterday. I'm continuing to stand on my innocence. 145 00:07:10,468 --> 00:07:13,028 Speaker 1: Never assaulted anyone, never disrespected anyone. And then he referred 146 00:07:13,028 --> 00:07:15,548 Speaker 1: to people who were triggered that back and forth, this 147 00:07:16,348 --> 00:07:20,188 Speaker 1: flailing contradictions are the actions of a liar. And then 148 00:07:20,268 --> 00:07:22,868 Speaker 1: Jimmie Haslam comes on in the daddy role and its 149 00:07:22,868 --> 00:07:25,788 Speaker 1: second chances and second chances, second chances for someone who 150 00:07:25,788 --> 00:07:27,668 Speaker 1: did something wrong, does something bad. Your guy just said 151 00:07:27,668 --> 00:07:29,628 Speaker 1: he didn't do anything. What do you mean second chances? 152 00:07:29,828 --> 00:07:31,868 Speaker 1: And then he chases it with well he's a star 153 00:07:31,988 --> 00:07:35,268 Speaker 1: quarterback and needlessly pulls in kareem Hunt and then it 154 00:07:35,268 --> 00:07:38,268 Speaker 1: doesn't mean we don't have empathy for women. Just woefully 155 00:07:38,348 --> 00:07:41,148 Speaker 1: tone deaf, Just stop talking. Imagine if you were at 156 00:07:41,188 --> 00:07:42,988 Speaker 1: home and you are a woman and you've gone through 157 00:07:43,028 --> 00:07:45,508 Speaker 1: something like this, or your daughter has, or your mother has, 158 00:07:45,668 --> 00:07:48,588 Speaker 1: and there's somebody up there saying, well, he's a star quarterback, 159 00:07:48,668 --> 00:07:50,228 Speaker 1: so you know, we got to give him a break. 160 00:07:50,268 --> 00:07:52,468 Speaker 1: It doesn't mean we don't have empathy for the women. 161 00:07:52,628 --> 00:07:55,668 Speaker 1: Bleep your empathy. You're an enabler. I'm supposed to be 162 00:07:55,668 --> 00:07:57,948 Speaker 1: pleased about this closure, and they got it and now 163 00:07:57,948 --> 00:07:59,788 Speaker 1: we can stay. I still feel sick about it. You know, 164 00:07:59,828 --> 00:08:01,668 Speaker 1: it's crazy to your point of what you just said 165 00:08:01,788 --> 00:08:04,868 Speaker 1: is he's continued to stand on his innocence and everyone's 166 00:08:04,868 --> 00:08:06,748 Speaker 1: saying this out in a third But there's gonna be 167 00:08:06,948 --> 00:08:10,388 Speaker 1: millions of dollars going towards people that have been impacted 168 00:08:10,428 --> 00:08:13,068 Speaker 1: by sexual assault. But we continue to say he did 169 00:08:13,108 --> 00:08:17,388 Speaker 1: nothing wrong. So America, America, we throw money at things 170 00:08:17,428 --> 00:08:20,188 Speaker 1: and say, look, I donated, I'm arched, I'm good, I 171 00:08:20,948 --> 00:08:23,748 Speaker 1: got a sticker I was. I held a sign I'd 172 00:08:23,748 --> 00:08:26,588 Speaker 1: posted on Instagram like throw money at it. They're gonna 173 00:08:26,588 --> 00:08:28,828 Speaker 1: throw five million dollars at the NFL's gonna throw money 174 00:08:28,828 --> 00:08:31,508 Speaker 1: at it and hopefully it'll all go. But I thought 175 00:08:31,508 --> 00:08:34,508 Speaker 1: what d Haslam had to say it was interesting because 176 00:08:34,668 --> 00:08:37,148 Speaker 1: here you have the owner's wife there and she was 177 00:08:37,188 --> 00:08:40,348 Speaker 1: talking about the rehab and the treatment and what is 178 00:08:41,228 --> 00:08:43,548 Speaker 1: I want to see Deshaun gros So there almost felt 179 00:08:43,548 --> 00:08:46,228 Speaker 1: like there was an acknowledgement that there needs to be 180 00:08:46,348 --> 00:08:49,988 Speaker 1: treatment for Deshaun Watson right now to acknowledge what happened, 181 00:08:50,068 --> 00:08:52,988 Speaker 1: whether or not he thinks he's, you know, criminally guilty 182 00:08:53,108 --> 00:08:55,588 Speaker 1: or not. It's something happened, and you can't to say, oh, 183 00:08:55,628 --> 00:08:57,588 Speaker 1: I'm good, I'm worried about me. People who were triggered 184 00:08:57,628 --> 00:08:59,228 Speaker 1: by it, We're gonna do this for that. I thought 185 00:08:59,308 --> 00:09:02,428 Speaker 1: d Haslam's voice was very important yesterday, and it felt 186 00:09:02,428 --> 00:09:04,228 Speaker 1: like a little bit of a circus because it was, 187 00:09:04,588 --> 00:09:06,508 Speaker 1: you know, impromptu, and here we are and this is 188 00:09:06,548 --> 00:09:10,668 Speaker 1: that to Jason's point, everyone wanted clarity and to get 189 00:09:10,668 --> 00:09:12,388 Speaker 1: it out of this way before the season kicks off. 190 00:09:12,388 --> 00:09:14,388 Speaker 1: And I promise you the day of kickoff, we're not 191 00:09:14,428 --> 00:09:16,588 Speaker 1: gonna be talking about Deshaun Watson week one. We're not 192 00:09:16,628 --> 00:09:18,788 Speaker 1: gonna be talking about Deshaun Watson week two, week three, 193 00:09:18,828 --> 00:09:20,708 Speaker 1: week two, all way up to week thirteen. And in 194 00:09:20,708 --> 00:09:22,268 Speaker 1: a lot of ways that's what people wanted. But I 195 00:09:22,268 --> 00:09:24,188 Speaker 1: think the important thing is that this doesn't just get 196 00:09:24,308 --> 00:09:25,948 Speaker 1: wiped under and we threw money at it and it 197 00:09:25,948 --> 00:09:27,988 Speaker 1: gets thrown under a mattress. The important thing is that 198 00:09:28,028 --> 00:09:29,908 Speaker 1: you listen to what d Haslam said and say, okay, well, 199 00:09:29,948 --> 00:09:31,948 Speaker 1: there's still something that needs to be addressed here, and 200 00:09:32,028 --> 00:09:34,668 Speaker 1: hopefully at the end of this Deshaun Watson actually does 201 00:09:34,708 --> 00:09:38,308 Speaker 1: go through some acknowledgement or some sort of realization that 202 00:09:38,348 --> 00:09:39,468 Speaker 1: we can all come out of this and say, Okay, 203 00:09:39,468 --> 00:09:41,908 Speaker 1: I could still wear Deshaun Watson's jersey as a Browns fan, 204 00:09:41,988 --> 00:09:43,708 Speaker 1: or I could still buy tickets as a Browns fan 205 00:09:43,748 --> 00:09:45,708 Speaker 1: and not have that ikey feeling that everyone seems to 206 00:09:45,748 --> 00:09:48,388 Speaker 1: have right now. I don't really want to talk about him. 207 00:09:48,468 --> 00:09:51,108 Speaker 1: I like looking at this from a big picture perspective. 208 00:09:51,228 --> 00:09:54,748 Speaker 1: What I find so frustrating about what mister Haslam said yesterday, 209 00:09:55,028 --> 00:09:59,788 Speaker 1: and this applies to professional athletes when things like this occur. 210 00:10:00,268 --> 00:10:02,988 Speaker 1: It is a privilege for you to be the face 211 00:10:03,268 --> 00:10:06,188 Speaker 1: of a franchise, is a privilege for you to have 212 00:10:06,268 --> 00:10:09,268 Speaker 1: children buy your jersey and walk around the city in 213 00:10:09,308 --> 00:10:11,228 Speaker 1: which you want to be a part of this community. 214 00:10:11,348 --> 00:10:14,748 Speaker 1: When you choose to engage in behaviors like this, I 215 00:10:14,788 --> 00:10:17,108 Speaker 1: feel that there is a privilege that should be lost 216 00:10:17,188 --> 00:10:19,828 Speaker 1: in people looking up to you and thinking that you 217 00:10:19,868 --> 00:10:22,708 Speaker 1: are an idol. So the fact that mister Haslam said, 218 00:10:22,908 --> 00:10:25,468 Speaker 1: should he not be able to play quarterback anymore? Well 219 00:10:26,388 --> 00:10:28,508 Speaker 1: brought up an interesting point. I'm not saying he shouldn't work, 220 00:10:28,748 --> 00:10:32,388 Speaker 1: but there should. There should be action to Deshaun Watson's actions, 221 00:10:32,868 --> 00:10:35,828 Speaker 1: and he should she should realize the privilege that he 222 00:10:35,908 --> 00:10:38,948 Speaker 1: has to have this opportunity to be the literal face 223 00:10:39,028 --> 00:10:40,548 Speaker 1: of a franchise and what the Browns are trying to 224 00:10:40,628 --> 00:10:43,108 Speaker 1: do with him. Secondly, you can go online and look 225 00:10:43,148 --> 00:10:45,988 Speaker 1: up the NFL's Personal Conduct Policy. I pulled it up 226 00:10:45,988 --> 00:10:48,508 Speaker 1: this morning. It's a public PDF document and on the 227 00:10:48,548 --> 00:10:50,668 Speaker 1: bottom of page six and that bleeds onto page seven, 228 00:10:50,788 --> 00:10:53,068 Speaker 1: just so everyone knows in which what I'm about to 229 00:10:53,068 --> 00:10:55,548 Speaker 1: say and what I reference, because again, the CBA is 230 00:10:55,548 --> 00:10:58,708 Speaker 1: agreed upon in that process. You know, we don't want 231 00:10:58,708 --> 00:11:00,108 Speaker 1: to mess with that. But what I do want to 232 00:11:00,108 --> 00:11:02,828 Speaker 1: mess with is the Personal Conduct Policy, a policy in 233 00:11:02,828 --> 00:11:05,988 Speaker 1: which the NFL can rip up tomorrow and rewrite, so 234 00:11:06,028 --> 00:11:08,788 Speaker 1: then the standard is different. Because right now, as it reads, 235 00:11:08,988 --> 00:11:12,148 Speaker 1: with regard to violations of the Personal Conduct Policy that 236 00:11:12,228 --> 00:11:16,508 Speaker 1: involved things like criminal assaulter, battery, domestic violence, dating violence, 237 00:11:16,628 --> 00:11:18,828 Speaker 1: it goes on. There's a litany of awful things, sexual 238 00:11:18,868 --> 00:11:24,308 Speaker 1: assaults involving physical force. The NFL recommends with consideration suspension 239 00:11:24,468 --> 00:11:29,348 Speaker 1: baseline suspension without pay of six games with consideration with factors. 240 00:11:29,588 --> 00:11:32,948 Speaker 1: Aggravating factors may warrant a longer suspension, so again to review. 241 00:11:33,228 --> 00:11:36,548 Speaker 1: That is why Judge sel Robinson recommended the six games. 242 00:11:36,748 --> 00:11:39,468 Speaker 1: It was in the personal condook policy. Change the policy, 243 00:11:39,668 --> 00:11:41,548 Speaker 1: make it a higher number, so we don't have to 244 00:11:41,588 --> 00:11:44,908 Speaker 1: go through this rigamarole again of what should it have been? 245 00:11:45,188 --> 00:11:47,588 Speaker 1: What is the behavior? We were all AGAs that it 246 00:11:47,628 --> 00:11:50,108 Speaker 1: was six games. Change it to eleven, change it to thirteen, 247 00:11:50,228 --> 00:11:52,148 Speaker 1: change it to a season. So then the next time 248 00:11:52,148 --> 00:11:54,788 Speaker 1: a judge has to get involved, the independent arbiter that 249 00:11:54,828 --> 00:11:57,868 Speaker 1: the NFL and the pH chooses the number isn't six, 250 00:11:58,188 --> 00:12:01,068 Speaker 1: Because that's why we even got to this point of 251 00:12:01,308 --> 00:12:03,988 Speaker 1: debating how many games it should have been. The numbers 252 00:12:03,988 --> 00:12:07,188 Speaker 1: should be higher regardless. One behavior like this goes down. 253 00:12:07,628 --> 00:12:09,868 Speaker 1: Oh to argue against that, Yeah, so you can go 254 00:12:09,948 --> 00:12:12,028 Speaker 1: look it up and then if it changes, it changes, 255 00:12:12,028 --> 00:12:14,268 Speaker 1: But at least it sets the precedent because that's what 256 00:12:14,348 --> 00:12:16,788 Speaker 1: she based it off of. So it's a choice that 257 00:12:16,868 --> 00:12:19,148 Speaker 1: the NFL can make. Now is the employer of people 258 00:12:19,268 --> 00:12:22,188 Speaker 1: that are faces of franchise and who are idols to 259 00:12:22,308 --> 00:12:26,548 Speaker 1: children and people that are the influence on one So 260 00:12:26,788 --> 00:12:29,188 Speaker 1: now that we know players one hundred through fifty one, 261 00:12:29,388 --> 00:12:31,588 Speaker 1: how will the rest of the list unfold? Here what 262 00:12:31,708 --> 00:12:33,988 Speaker 1: players have to say about each other as they discuss 263 00:12:34,228 --> 00:12:36,708 Speaker 1: they nominated and why who will be number one? Top 264 00:12:36,708 --> 00:12:39,188 Speaker 1: one hundred Players of twenty twenty two, presented by Truly, 265 00:12:39,268 --> 00:12:42,268 Speaker 1: continues this Sunday at four thirty pm Eastern right here 266 00:12:42,348 --> 00:12:46,188 Speaker 1: on NFL Network. On the NFL Top one hundred Players 267 00:12:46,188 --> 00:12:49,228 Speaker 1: list of twenty twenty one, Derrick Henry was the highest 268 00:12:49,268 --> 00:12:52,428 Speaker 1: rank running back at number four, but after the season 269 00:12:52,508 --> 00:12:55,068 Speaker 1: it was Jonathan Taylor who led the league in rushing. 270 00:12:56,148 --> 00:12:58,868 Speaker 1: So movement no movement? How this is all going to 271 00:12:58,908 --> 00:13:00,588 Speaker 1: go down with the Top one hundred and how the 272 00:13:00,668 --> 00:13:03,268 Speaker 1: running backs play out because we are just running back 273 00:13:03,308 --> 00:13:05,588 Speaker 1: heavy in the last half the first hour of our show. 274 00:13:05,628 --> 00:13:07,748 Speaker 1: Who should be the higher ranked running back on the 275 00:13:07,828 --> 00:13:09,988 Speaker 1: NFL Top one hundred list in twenty twenty two? Is 276 00:13:09,988 --> 00:13:12,668 Speaker 1: it one Derrick Henry or is it Jonathan Taylor's funny, 277 00:13:12,708 --> 00:13:15,148 Speaker 1: we've got an EX player here, Jason mccordy, and we've 278 00:13:15,148 --> 00:13:16,748 Speaker 1: had a lot of X players in this chair, and 279 00:13:16,828 --> 00:13:19,708 Speaker 1: anytime the running back position comes up, Derrick Henry gets 280 00:13:19,708 --> 00:13:22,428 Speaker 1: the nod like the players respect Derek Derreck Henry that 281 00:13:22,508 --> 00:13:24,868 Speaker 1: everybody else. Yet last year when he was injured, Jonathan 282 00:13:24,868 --> 00:13:27,028 Speaker 1: Taylor sort of sees that crown and he did it 283 00:13:27,028 --> 00:13:29,468 Speaker 1: for the fans too. Jonathan Taylor had huge days on 284 00:13:29,628 --> 00:13:32,068 Speaker 1: national television lines. If you remember, there was a Saturday 285 00:13:32,188 --> 00:13:34,668 Speaker 1: night game where the Patriots played the Colts and it 286 00:13:34,708 --> 00:13:37,908 Speaker 1: was like Fantasy championships for everybody, and it was Jonathan 287 00:13:37,948 --> 00:13:40,108 Speaker 1: Taylor just taking one eighty yards and me and like, 288 00:13:40,148 --> 00:13:41,988 Speaker 1: this is what I do. I take it to the 289 00:13:41,988 --> 00:13:44,708 Speaker 1: house eighty yard. He ran away with the rushing title. 290 00:13:44,788 --> 00:13:48,188 Speaker 1: He sort of made his statement made on national TV 291 00:13:48,348 --> 00:13:50,748 Speaker 1: this late in the season when Fantasy championships are gone. 292 00:13:51,348 --> 00:13:54,708 Speaker 1: I wonder though, if the fans who are all drafting 293 00:13:54,788 --> 00:13:57,708 Speaker 1: Jonathan Taylor first and fantasy Jamie you include what's wrong 294 00:13:57,708 --> 00:13:59,948 Speaker 1: with that? Or and all just understand him as he 295 00:14:00,028 --> 00:14:02,028 Speaker 1: says it's number one, are the same as the player. 296 00:14:02,028 --> 00:14:05,508 Speaker 1: Remember the players vote. So Taylor put on these performances 297 00:14:05,508 --> 00:14:07,308 Speaker 1: in the biggest spots and ran away with the title 298 00:14:07,388 --> 00:14:09,948 Speaker 1: last year. But the respect for Derrick Henry is still 299 00:14:09,988 --> 00:14:12,228 Speaker 1: so strong. In Jason, you were in the league and 300 00:14:12,468 --> 00:14:14,548 Speaker 1: I'd be curious to hear your thought is everyone ready 301 00:14:14,548 --> 00:14:16,908 Speaker 1: to give it to Taylor or is Derrick Henry still 302 00:14:16,908 --> 00:14:19,188 Speaker 1: that dude? Oh, He's definitely still that dude. But I 303 00:14:19,228 --> 00:14:22,148 Speaker 1: think for this twenty twenty two number one running back 304 00:14:22,268 --> 00:14:24,228 Speaker 1: top one hundred, I do believe it's going to be 305 00:14:24,348 --> 00:14:27,148 Speaker 1: Jonathan Taylor. I think his performance last year proved. I mean, 306 00:14:27,228 --> 00:14:30,628 Speaker 1: he was first in every single Russian category. Sometimes you 307 00:14:30,628 --> 00:14:32,268 Speaker 1: can say, hey, or the player is gonna feel that 308 00:14:32,308 --> 00:14:34,708 Speaker 1: way when a guy is that dominant, whether it was 309 00:14:34,868 --> 00:14:38,708 Speaker 1: Russian yards, attempts, touchdowns, twenty plus runs, forty plus runs, 310 00:14:38,788 --> 00:14:41,348 Speaker 1: the longest run in the entire NFL of eighty three yards, 311 00:14:41,468 --> 00:14:44,228 Speaker 1: he was number one on all of them. I think 312 00:14:44,228 --> 00:14:46,508 Speaker 1: when you do that many things, and like you just said, 313 00:14:46,548 --> 00:14:49,628 Speaker 1: you couple that with the fact that he's performing on 314 00:14:49,788 --> 00:14:54,508 Speaker 1: national television, those games, those primetime games where everybody's at 315 00:14:54,588 --> 00:14:57,468 Speaker 1: home watching. I do believe Jonathan Taylor is going to 316 00:14:57,548 --> 00:15:00,668 Speaker 1: be the top ranked running back. I'll be interesting to 317 00:15:00,668 --> 00:15:02,508 Speaker 1: see with Derrick Henry. He was my first pick of 318 00:15:02,508 --> 00:15:05,468 Speaker 1: the fantasy draft here on GMF, so a lot of 319 00:15:05,868 --> 00:15:08,548 Speaker 1: hope and Derek Henry. But I'll think right now, there's 320 00:15:08,588 --> 00:15:11,588 Speaker 1: Jonathan Taylor's crown. I love Jonathan Taylor. I love him. 321 00:15:11,708 --> 00:15:14,548 Speaker 1: I love watching him play. He's an awesome guy. He's funny, 322 00:15:14,588 --> 00:15:17,108 Speaker 1: he's cool, he's just great. We're talking about the strap, 323 00:15:17,188 --> 00:15:19,508 Speaker 1: all right, the belt of the best running back. Derrick 324 00:15:19,548 --> 00:15:22,148 Speaker 1: Henry had it two thousand yards and he's the man. 325 00:15:22,228 --> 00:15:24,148 Speaker 1: He's on top of the mountain. I don't think it 326 00:15:24,228 --> 00:15:27,828 Speaker 1: was taken cleanly last year. I think there is there's 327 00:15:27,868 --> 00:15:30,828 Speaker 1: an uncertainty and an astroist due to Derrick Henry going 328 00:15:30,828 --> 00:15:33,468 Speaker 1: out and the great misconception about Derreck Henry. As you 329 00:15:33,548 --> 00:15:35,188 Speaker 1: look at last season, you're like, hey, he was hurt, 330 00:15:35,188 --> 00:15:37,588 Speaker 1: he didn't do much. It's not true. He missed half 331 00:15:37,588 --> 00:15:39,868 Speaker 1: the season, had almost a thousand yards, he had eleven 332 00:15:39,908 --> 00:15:44,228 Speaker 1: touchdowns in ten games. He was excellent. Yeah, coming off 333 00:15:44,308 --> 00:15:45,828 Speaker 1: injury and he did all they could. But like, he 334 00:15:45,908 --> 00:15:49,228 Speaker 1: was extremely productive in half the season. He was almost 335 00:15:49,268 --> 00:15:52,268 Speaker 1: averaging a nineteen hundred yards season and twenty touchdowns. He 336 00:15:52,348 --> 00:15:56,068 Speaker 1: was awesome last year. So let's just pump the brakes. 337 00:15:56,148 --> 00:15:58,228 Speaker 1: I'm ripping the crown off his head and giving it 338 00:15:58,268 --> 00:16:00,788 Speaker 1: to Taylor. I think this is the year. Give me 339 00:16:00,828 --> 00:16:03,348 Speaker 1: a clean season for both of them. Will see what's what, 340 00:16:03,588 --> 00:16:06,068 Speaker 1: including two gay head to head I'm into it. I 341 00:16:06,148 --> 00:16:08,028 Speaker 1: still think Henry has the belt and I think we 342 00:16:08,068 --> 00:16:10,428 Speaker 1: respect him even though he was injured half the year, 343 00:16:10,588 --> 00:16:12,788 Speaker 1: so he's he will go higher than Jonathan Taylor run 344 00:16:12,828 --> 00:16:15,748 Speaker 1: the top one. I think he should wishes the question 345 00:16:15,788 --> 00:16:18,028 Speaker 1: in my opinion, and also will I do I think 346 00:16:18,068 --> 00:16:19,948 Speaker 1: the players to look at him like the king. Yeah, 347 00:16:20,108 --> 00:16:22,428 Speaker 1: that's what I disagree. You know, the players, what is 348 00:16:22,428 --> 00:16:24,428 Speaker 1: the average? I mean they're like between twenty and thirty 349 00:16:24,508 --> 00:16:26,988 Speaker 1: years old. Like these these young guys, they they have 350 00:16:27,108 --> 00:16:30,188 Speaker 1: short term memory, Like they're just they watched Jonathan Taylor 351 00:16:30,308 --> 00:16:32,188 Speaker 1: run last year on the second half last year. They're 352 00:16:32,228 --> 00:16:34,068 Speaker 1: like yeah, and then they just write him down on 353 00:16:34,068 --> 00:16:35,748 Speaker 1: his piece of paper. Like now that we pulled back 354 00:16:35,748 --> 00:16:38,188 Speaker 1: the curtain on how this voting operates, They're handed this 355 00:16:38,188 --> 00:16:39,548 Speaker 1: piece of paper in the locker room of the spring 356 00:16:39,588 --> 00:16:41,508 Speaker 1: and they're just like, yeah, Jonathan Taylor is the man, 357 00:16:41,508 --> 00:16:43,788 Speaker 1: and they just write it down. Like Derrick Henry admirable 358 00:16:43,868 --> 00:16:45,308 Speaker 1: what he was able to do to come back from 359 00:16:45,308 --> 00:16:46,868 Speaker 1: injury and everything, but like when you look at what 360 00:16:46,908 --> 00:16:49,188 Speaker 1: he did in twenty twenty one and what the players 361 00:16:49,228 --> 00:16:51,708 Speaker 1: are remembering and how powerful it was for Jonathan Taylor 362 00:16:51,748 --> 00:16:53,388 Speaker 1: to come on the way that he did. It has 363 00:16:53,428 --> 00:16:55,348 Speaker 1: to be him just this year. I'm not saying that 364 00:16:55,468 --> 00:16:57,028 Speaker 1: one is going to have a better season than the other, 365 00:16:57,068 --> 00:16:59,388 Speaker 1: but for what the players are interpreting, how they jested 366 00:16:59,388 --> 00:17:02,948 Speaker 1: it or short term memory. Flip the script, name them, 367 00:17:02,148 --> 00:17:05,268 Speaker 1: I'll remember, I'll showed that last time the TEL I'll remember. 368 00:17:05,308 --> 00:17:07,668 Speaker 1: And you were teammates with Henry Yeah, right, I remember 369 00:17:07,668 --> 00:17:11,828 Speaker 1: when he first walked in. He was top ten and 370 00:17:11,908 --> 00:17:14,348 Speaker 1: a lot of Russian categories and he was excellent last year. 371 00:17:14,428 --> 00:17:33,668 Speaker 1: Games unbelievable. Hey more GMFB come in your way in 372 00:17:33,788 --> 00:17:35,708 Speaker 1: the post Bengals to the Super Bowl world. Could the 373 00:17:35,708 --> 00:17:37,828 Speaker 1: Bears and Seahawks be one of these teams that shocks 374 00:17:37,868 --> 00:17:40,708 Speaker 1: the world this year? Okay, the expectations are not massive, 375 00:17:40,748 --> 00:17:42,748 Speaker 1: but who cares. We're in the upside down now. Justin 376 00:17:42,828 --> 00:17:45,868 Speaker 1: fields eleventh overall pick the year before last. First drive 377 00:17:45,908 --> 00:17:47,788 Speaker 1: of the game came out second and six hits cool 378 00:17:47,828 --> 00:17:49,748 Speaker 1: commet for the second time on the drive. They started 379 00:17:49,748 --> 00:17:51,948 Speaker 1: the game with a nifty little screen pass and fields 380 00:17:51,988 --> 00:17:54,028 Speaker 1: look sharp five or seven thirty nine yards. They got 381 00:17:54,068 --> 00:17:57,028 Speaker 1: a field out on that drive. Gino Smith, he's starting 382 00:17:57,268 --> 00:17:59,908 Speaker 1: because Drew Locke got COVID and Disney take advantage of 383 00:17:59,908 --> 00:18:02,788 Speaker 1: his opportunity. Yeah, he does. Gino played the entire first 384 00:18:02,788 --> 00:18:05,628 Speaker 1: half ten of eighteen one hundred twelve yards, moved the 385 00:18:05,668 --> 00:18:07,588 Speaker 1: ball a little bit, didn't really put the touchdowns on 386 00:18:07,628 --> 00:18:09,188 Speaker 1: the board because they're still getting shut out as the 387 00:18:09,228 --> 00:18:12,548 Speaker 1: head into halftime. Your headlines here justin fields played a 388 00:18:12,548 --> 00:18:15,268 Speaker 1: little bit. David Montgomery did not, cool comment did, darnel' 389 00:18:15,308 --> 00:18:18,588 Speaker 1: mooney did, and DK Metcalf and Tyler Lockett were out 390 00:18:18,588 --> 00:18:20,908 Speaker 1: there too, running around a few plays made by a 391 00:18:20,908 --> 00:18:22,748 Speaker 1: few of the bigger players. The Bears end up winning, 392 00:18:22,868 --> 00:18:24,908 Speaker 1: and we will track both of these teams, but we 393 00:18:24,948 --> 00:18:28,268 Speaker 1: probably have some takeaways, right, Jamie, Absolutely, what do we 394 00:18:28,308 --> 00:18:30,868 Speaker 1: think it's so hard for us to talk preseason footballs 395 00:18:30,868 --> 00:18:32,668 Speaker 1: if their regular season football games, because you just get 396 00:18:32,748 --> 00:18:35,588 Speaker 1: such a small glimpse of the actual players at running 397 00:18:35,588 --> 00:18:37,428 Speaker 1: into guys who might even make the roster. But one 398 00:18:37,428 --> 00:18:39,548 Speaker 1: guy who I'm fascinated by is Roquan Smith, and he 399 00:18:39,588 --> 00:18:41,388 Speaker 1: was on the sideline there and in the second half, 400 00:18:41,428 --> 00:18:43,508 Speaker 1: as I'm watching the broadcast about ten o'clock at night, 401 00:18:43,548 --> 00:18:44,908 Speaker 1: should I just go to bed? And he already for 402 00:18:44,948 --> 00:18:47,868 Speaker 1: Good Morning Football. The broadcast crew, which consisted of Steve 403 00:18:47,948 --> 00:18:50,628 Speaker 1: Levy and Dan Orlovsky and Lewis Riddeck started talking about 404 00:18:50,668 --> 00:18:53,188 Speaker 1: a conversation they had with the GM Ryan Poles. Whether 405 00:18:53,228 --> 00:18:54,508 Speaker 1: it was off the record or on the record, I 406 00:18:54,548 --> 00:18:56,308 Speaker 1: think they were very enlightening in what they were saying, 407 00:18:56,308 --> 00:18:58,868 Speaker 1: and that Poles was talking about how he's a very 408 00:18:58,868 --> 00:19:02,388 Speaker 1: good linebacker but did not say he's the best linebacker. 409 00:19:02,428 --> 00:19:05,668 Speaker 1: How maybe if he was a corner defensive end it 410 00:19:05,668 --> 00:19:08,348 Speaker 1: would be a different story. And another thing that they 411 00:19:08,388 --> 00:19:11,628 Speaker 1: revealed was that there didn't seem to be this urgency 412 00:19:11,868 --> 00:19:15,828 Speaker 1: like we must pay ro Quan. So I feel like 413 00:19:16,028 --> 00:19:18,188 Speaker 1: wherever we were thinking this was going like, I don't 414 00:19:18,228 --> 00:19:20,108 Speaker 1: think there's an urgency on the bare side. And I 415 00:19:20,148 --> 00:19:21,948 Speaker 1: don't know how much longer Roquan is going to do 416 00:19:21,988 --> 00:19:25,668 Speaker 1: this hold in because the season is rapidly approaching. And 417 00:19:25,788 --> 00:19:27,148 Speaker 1: again I don't know if it's supposed to be off 418 00:19:27,148 --> 00:19:29,028 Speaker 1: the record on the record, but my biggest takeaway was 419 00:19:29,068 --> 00:19:30,588 Speaker 1: something that didn't even happen on the field. It was 420 00:19:30,588 --> 00:19:32,348 Speaker 1: a conversation in the booth and they're just filling time 421 00:19:32,348 --> 00:19:34,588 Speaker 1: when the backups were in. It doesn't sound like Ryan 422 00:19:34,588 --> 00:19:36,788 Speaker 1: Poles is banging down the door to go give Roquan 423 00:19:36,868 --> 00:19:38,508 Speaker 1: Smith the money that he doesn't that he thinks he's 424 00:19:38,908 --> 00:19:41,028 Speaker 1: not only has he been in every meeting and participating, 425 00:19:41,308 --> 00:19:44,228 Speaker 1: he was out there running sprints on the field before 426 00:19:44,268 --> 00:19:46,428 Speaker 1: the game, like he's healthy, he's ready. But then that 427 00:19:46,508 --> 00:19:48,708 Speaker 1: makes it seem like there's not a closure. It didn't 428 00:19:48,708 --> 00:19:51,428 Speaker 1: come away from that conversation when you've got a former 429 00:19:51,828 --> 00:19:54,548 Speaker 1: NFL executive and Riddick and then Orlosky and then all 430 00:19:54,588 --> 00:19:56,268 Speaker 1: three of them talking to Poles and they didn't come 431 00:19:56,308 --> 00:19:58,228 Speaker 1: by and say Poles is banging his fist. We've gotta 432 00:19:58,228 --> 00:20:00,188 Speaker 1: make it work, we gotta figure something out. Did not 433 00:20:00,228 --> 00:20:02,908 Speaker 1: get that feeling from that Roquan that's gonna get back 434 00:20:02,908 --> 00:20:04,628 Speaker 1: to him. He's gonna know about that. And like said, 435 00:20:04,628 --> 00:20:07,228 Speaker 1: he's running sprints. We talked about der and James getting 436 00:20:07,268 --> 00:20:09,068 Speaker 1: the deal in the first scene Texas age and is 437 00:20:09,148 --> 00:20:11,148 Speaker 1: all right, so I can go practice and roll. Kuan 438 00:20:11,268 --> 00:20:14,308 Speaker 1: seems like the same type of guy. He's doing everything. 439 00:20:14,348 --> 00:20:16,148 Speaker 1: He wants to be out there and you want to 440 00:20:16,148 --> 00:20:17,508 Speaker 1: see how it plays out, but you want to see 441 00:20:17,548 --> 00:20:19,708 Speaker 1: him hopefully get that deal and be able to take 442 00:20:19,708 --> 00:20:21,708 Speaker 1: part with the Bears and actually be able to play 443 00:20:21,708 --> 00:20:23,628 Speaker 1: with them on the field. But for me, you had 444 00:20:23,708 --> 00:20:25,948 Speaker 1: ro Kuan Smith. Who's gonna be the quarterback of the 445 00:20:25,988 --> 00:20:28,988 Speaker 1: Seattle Seahawks. Is it going to be Drew Lock's gonna 446 00:20:28,988 --> 00:20:31,708 Speaker 1: be Geno Smith? It's justin Field's gonna make that improvement. 447 00:20:31,748 --> 00:20:34,068 Speaker 1: But we stood out to me was the special teams. 448 00:20:34,188 --> 00:20:37,188 Speaker 1: Special teams coaches today are throwing markers at the dry 449 00:20:37,348 --> 00:20:40,068 Speaker 1: race wars. They're going off because it was a roller 450 00:20:40,148 --> 00:20:43,268 Speaker 1: coaster of a game. The game starts off feelers. Jones 451 00:20:43,348 --> 00:20:45,788 Speaker 1: fumbles to open the kickoff return, has a nice one, 452 00:20:45,828 --> 00:20:48,228 Speaker 1: but lays the ball on the tour and as the 453 00:20:48,268 --> 00:20:50,708 Speaker 1: game continues he didn't gets a punt return where he 454 00:20:50,788 --> 00:20:53,308 Speaker 1: makes some nice moves like a forty something yard return. 455 00:20:53,388 --> 00:20:55,668 Speaker 1: You're like, okay, special teams is looking a little bit 456 00:20:55,748 --> 00:20:59,348 Speaker 1: up pun the ball. We saw this on the highlight. 457 00:20:59,548 --> 00:21:01,108 Speaker 1: Tough for this young guy. You gotta be able to 458 00:21:01,148 --> 00:21:03,828 Speaker 1: bounce back. Mental toughness is a big part of playing 459 00:21:03,948 --> 00:21:06,308 Speaker 1: on this stage in the National Football League. He'll get 460 00:21:06,348 --> 00:21:09,628 Speaker 1: another opportunity. It's the preseason, this last game, not a 461 00:21:09,628 --> 00:21:12,068 Speaker 1: lot of starters play. Hey make up for it. Make 462 00:21:12,108 --> 00:21:14,508 Speaker 1: that play. So for me, there was also a punt 463 00:21:14,548 --> 00:21:17,828 Speaker 1: by Seattle where they're gonna down it inside the five. No, 464 00:21:18,308 --> 00:21:22,148 Speaker 1: my guy Jay cole Justin Coleman standing on the goal line, touchback. 465 00:21:22,188 --> 00:21:25,108 Speaker 1: So I felt for my special teams coaches. They probably 466 00:21:25,108 --> 00:21:27,508 Speaker 1: were having a drink or two last night. Just you 467 00:21:27,508 --> 00:21:29,548 Speaker 1: don't want to see that there's ninety guys on the roster. 468 00:21:29,588 --> 00:21:30,948 Speaker 1: I know there's a lot of guys, but you want 469 00:21:30,948 --> 00:21:33,708 Speaker 1: to see gospel better, special empathy for special teams. You 470 00:21:34,708 --> 00:21:37,268 Speaker 1: guys are making the team because of special teams. In 471 00:21:37,348 --> 00:21:41,428 Speaker 1: the preseason, what would say, you know what comes back? 472 00:21:41,508 --> 00:21:43,748 Speaker 1: Slaves giving a speech right now and he's pissed. We 473 00:21:43,788 --> 00:21:47,908 Speaker 1: need this later. Yeah, it's just the player cast. We 474 00:21:47,948 --> 00:21:49,828 Speaker 1: know how Peyton gets so mad when they throw interceptions. 475 00:21:49,828 --> 00:21:52,108 Speaker 1: We need a Slater cast where he just watches special 476 00:21:52,108 --> 00:21:55,908 Speaker 1: teams and throws pens her to introduce it, Yes, like 477 00:21:56,068 --> 00:21:58,708 Speaker 1: maybe we will. My brain is just doing back flips 478 00:21:58,868 --> 00:22:01,748 Speaker 1: about Justin Fields and my heart and everything. Let me 479 00:22:01,748 --> 00:22:04,148 Speaker 1: tell you why it's complicated. So you see Justin Fields 480 00:22:04,148 --> 00:22:05,788 Speaker 1: played one drive, He's five for seven, they got a 481 00:22:05,828 --> 00:22:08,468 Speaker 1: field goal. He's under a lot of pressure, guys, even 482 00:22:08,468 --> 00:22:10,948 Speaker 1: in this even against the Seahawks, who aren't exactly bringing 483 00:22:10,988 --> 00:22:13,828 Speaker 1: t J. Watten Aaron Donald and even the plays that worked, 484 00:22:13,828 --> 00:22:18,588 Speaker 1: It's like there's almost always that almost every play, even 485 00:22:18,628 --> 00:22:22,028 Speaker 1: the good plays. And if this is a hashtag harbinger, 486 00:22:22,188 --> 00:22:25,388 Speaker 1: you're like, oh my god. I've adopted almost kind of 487 00:22:25,388 --> 00:22:28,108 Speaker 1: like a parental relationship with Justin Fields, where like I 488 00:22:28,148 --> 00:22:30,068 Speaker 1: want to I'm worried about him, like when your kid 489 00:22:30,148 --> 00:22:32,188 Speaker 1: is walking through a parking lot. There's a parking lot. 490 00:22:32,188 --> 00:22:35,148 Speaker 1: We don't run hold hands like it's so much pressure 491 00:22:35,348 --> 00:22:38,068 Speaker 1: all the time, and even when there's always someone hitting 492 00:22:38,108 --> 00:22:39,788 Speaker 1: him about to hit him and there's a good drive, 493 00:22:39,828 --> 00:22:41,428 Speaker 1: don't get me wrong, but like we gotta get through 494 00:22:41,468 --> 00:22:44,228 Speaker 1: seventeen games of that. I will say on the positive side, 495 00:22:44,348 --> 00:22:47,788 Speaker 1: it's refreshing that, oh my god, you can roll him 496 00:22:47,788 --> 00:22:50,628 Speaker 1: out and you can move the pocket. There are no 497 00:22:50,788 --> 00:22:53,348 Speaker 1: rules against it. You are not going to be flagged. 498 00:22:53,588 --> 00:22:55,228 Speaker 1: And I just if we brought up the tape, which 499 00:22:55,268 --> 00:22:57,068 Speaker 1: we're not going to do because it's like a snuff 500 00:22:57,108 --> 00:22:59,588 Speaker 1: film of him versus the Browns last year, well I 501 00:22:59,628 --> 00:23:01,108 Speaker 1: don't know what they were doing. And I think that's 502 00:23:01,108 --> 00:23:03,788 Speaker 1: why Mattie Brivlus is there. So I don't want to 503 00:23:03,788 --> 00:23:06,548 Speaker 1: spend seven teen weeks looking at Justin Fields like a 504 00:23:06,628 --> 00:23:10,068 Speaker 1: rodeo clown, like hiding behind barrels and stuff. But man, 505 00:23:10,748 --> 00:23:14,228 Speaker 1: I'm nervous at LEASA. There's no whose quarterbacking their team though, 506 00:23:14,228 --> 00:23:17,508 Speaker 1: because ten ten for eighteen, one hundred and twelve yards 507 00:23:17,588 --> 00:23:20,588 Speaker 1: last night for Geno Smith is a nice number. But 508 00:23:20,668 --> 00:23:23,228 Speaker 1: the problem with that number is he produced zero points 509 00:23:23,228 --> 00:23:26,268 Speaker 1: on the board with him under center. I was talking 510 00:23:26,268 --> 00:23:28,388 Speaker 1: to our producer Showanara, Matt Hamilton about this and he 511 00:23:28,468 --> 00:23:31,868 Speaker 1: brought up an excellent point. If Gino Smith was the guy, 512 00:23:31,948 --> 00:23:34,188 Speaker 1: don't you think he would have gotten more on field 513 00:23:34,228 --> 00:23:36,988 Speaker 1: reps than three snaps with your top two wide receivers 514 00:23:36,988 --> 00:23:40,228 Speaker 1: than just three snaps last night per Metcalfe and Lockett. 515 00:23:40,548 --> 00:23:42,468 Speaker 1: If he was the guy, you'd want to see more 516 00:23:42,508 --> 00:23:45,108 Speaker 1: out of him. Has anyone ever won their job while 517 00:23:45,228 --> 00:23:47,868 Speaker 1: being at home with COVID? Because a little bit I 518 00:23:47,908 --> 00:23:50,148 Speaker 1: feel like that's what's happening with Drew lock. Like the 519 00:23:50,228 --> 00:23:52,788 Speaker 1: more of what Gino Smith shows us or doesn't show us, 520 00:23:53,028 --> 00:23:54,948 Speaker 1: feels like Drew Locke could become the guy. And I'm 521 00:23:54,988 --> 00:23:56,868 Speaker 1: a Drew lock fan. I think he was, and he's 522 00:23:56,908 --> 00:23:59,388 Speaker 1: a talent coming out of college. I think he got 523 00:23:59,388 --> 00:24:01,588 Speaker 1: a bad shake in Denver. This could be a better 524 00:24:01,628 --> 00:24:03,788 Speaker 1: fit with Pete Carroll. But it's just it was weird 525 00:24:03,828 --> 00:24:06,428 Speaker 1: watching that night because convincing continues to be the worst 526 00:24:06,428 --> 00:24:08,228 Speaker 1: for me with these quarterbacks and these young guys and 527 00:24:08,308 --> 00:24:10,188 Speaker 1: Gino Smith, like I want it for him, but I 528 00:24:10,308 --> 00:24:12,308 Speaker 1: just not convinced. I am not convinced. And Drew Lock 529 00:24:12,388 --> 00:24:13,828 Speaker 1: is sitting there and all of a sudden, our Seahawks 530 00:24:13,868 --> 00:24:15,668 Speaker 1: fans like, we gotta go with the other guy, even 531 00:24:15,708 --> 00:24:17,628 Speaker 1: though what has he shown you? Yeah, our friend Adam 532 00:24:17,708 --> 00:24:19,828 Speaker 1: Rank had a really funny tweet about it. It's very 533 00:24:19,868 --> 00:24:22,468 Speaker 1: like George Costanza to like, get the job by not 534 00:24:22,548 --> 00:24:25,508 Speaker 1: showing up. Do the no show. You can't lose the 535 00:24:25,588 --> 00:24:28,348 Speaker 1: job if you don't play. And like last night, Look, 536 00:24:28,468 --> 00:24:30,068 Speaker 1: it's not like Gino was miserable or anything like. That 537 00:24:30,148 --> 00:24:31,668 Speaker 1: was fine. He sits in my throws. But like, I 538 00:24:31,748 --> 00:24:33,268 Speaker 1: don't know if that was a bad night for Drew 539 00:24:33,308 --> 00:24:35,108 Speaker 1: Lock last night. In fact, it's probably a good night, right. 540 00:24:35,148 --> 00:24:36,988 Speaker 1: He's gotta get back in the field, absolutely. I mean, 541 00:24:37,068 --> 00:24:40,388 Speaker 1: my goodness for Seattle for starting a guy because he's 542 00:24:40,428 --> 00:24:43,308 Speaker 1: not performing. He's not playing actually out there, but the 543 00:24:43,348 --> 00:24:45,828 Speaker 1: guy playing isn't playing well enough, So we're gonna just 544 00:24:45,868 --> 00:24:49,588 Speaker 1: go with the Hey, it's so infuriating me too to 545 00:24:49,628 --> 00:24:52,068 Speaker 1: read this like working theory that like the Seahawks offense 546 00:24:52,188 --> 00:24:53,868 Speaker 1: is just going to be based upon like run game, 547 00:24:53,948 --> 00:24:57,668 Speaker 1: Run game, run game, pound the ball down the middle receivers. 548 00:24:57,788 --> 00:25:00,028 Speaker 1: I'm like, what is happening? Why would you just put 549 00:25:00,028 --> 00:25:02,188 Speaker 1: those two guys away so it would be so furiating. 550 00:25:02,268 --> 00:25:04,188 Speaker 1: There was a funny sign though on the broadcast that 551 00:25:04,388 --> 00:25:06,748 Speaker 1: they pointed out, and one of the Seahawks fans held 552 00:25:06,788 --> 00:25:08,708 Speaker 1: up a sign said we need Jimmy G. And we 553 00:25:08,748 --> 00:25:11,508 Speaker 1: need them and listen. All the trade I think is 554 00:25:11,548 --> 00:25:13,668 Speaker 1: a thing. But if they end up cutting Jimmy G 555 00:25:13,828 --> 00:25:16,028 Speaker 1: and sitting there and it's like, well, this guy's got COVID. 556 00:25:16,068 --> 00:25:19,468 Speaker 1: But the point is that appears to be a Seahawks 557 00:25:19,508 --> 00:25:22,268 Speaker 1: fan openly campaigning for Jimmy G. Peter Sregar thoughts, I 558 00:25:22,268 --> 00:25:24,068 Speaker 1: think that moment went the bag. It's very compliant. You 559 00:25:24,068 --> 00:25:27,708 Speaker 1: got to go through security and she's still searching. Yeah, 560 00:25:27,748 --> 00:25:29,948 Speaker 1: I don't you know Jimmy G. I don't think they 561 00:25:29,948 --> 00:25:31,508 Speaker 1: would trade them within the division, but if they cut 562 00:25:31,588 --> 00:25:33,388 Speaker 1: them on them and the Seahawks are like, all right, 563 00:25:33,428 --> 00:25:35,748 Speaker 1: that's our best option. Fine, but the way that Pete 564 00:25:35,788 --> 00:25:37,428 Speaker 1: and John Snod have been talking to the even before 565 00:25:37,468 --> 00:25:38,828 Speaker 1: the draft seems like they have a lot of faith 566 00:25:38,828 --> 00:25:41,988 Speaker 1: and Drew Locke and Gino Smith see Jimmy thing gonna end? 567 00:25:42,028 --> 00:25:43,668 Speaker 1: What what do you think we want an answer? You 568 00:25:43,668 --> 00:25:45,668 Speaker 1: think they're gonna cut them? I don't know. Yeah, this 569 00:25:45,828 --> 00:25:49,588 Speaker 1: right here, this is a quintessential preseason football. Preseason is 570 00:25:49,628 --> 00:25:52,468 Speaker 1: in full gear.

Welcome back to Good Morning Football, and 586 00:26:45,748 --> 00:26:48,548 Speaker 1: it's time to look at the best moments presented by NFL. 587 00:26:48,708 --> 00:26:50,668 Speaker 1: All day and last night kicked off Week two of 588 00:26:50,668 --> 00:26:53,148 Speaker 1: the NFL preseason. We've done a deep dive on Bear Seahawks. 589 00:26:53,188 --> 00:26:55,108 Speaker 1: We've got so much more football to watch over the 590 00:26:55,148 --> 00:26:57,308 Speaker 1: next few days. I wanted to give you my five 591 00:26:57,388 --> 00:27:00,988 Speaker 1: players to watch preseason week two. We did this last 592 00:27:00,988 --> 00:27:03,908 Speaker 1: week and George Pickens delivered. How about this week's guys. 593 00:27:03,988 --> 00:27:06,668 Speaker 1: Let's start with number five, forty nine Ers rookie wide 594 00:27:06,668 --> 00:27:10,468 Speaker 1: receiver mister Danny Gray. All eyes are on Trey Lance, 595 00:27:10,588 --> 00:27:14,468 Speaker 1: but Danny Gray was the standout from that first preseason 596 00:27:14,508 --> 00:27:16,988 Speaker 1: game against the Packers. All right, one hit, wonder whatever, 597 00:27:17,148 --> 00:27:19,588 Speaker 1: nos third round pick. They love Danny Gray coming out 598 00:27:19,588 --> 00:27:23,148 Speaker 1: of college and Danny Gray in practice this week when 599 00:27:23,188 --> 00:27:25,868 Speaker 1: they were doing their joint practices with the Vikings, Danny 600 00:27:25,868 --> 00:27:29,068 Speaker 1: Gray had another insane catch. He's the deep threat right now. 601 00:27:29,108 --> 00:27:31,828 Speaker 1: You've got Auk obviously in Devo, but Danny Gray has 602 00:27:31,828 --> 00:27:33,948 Speaker 1: been burning it up. What is he going to do? 603 00:27:33,988 --> 00:27:37,788 Speaker 1: They play the Vikings Saturday night at seven o'clock Eastern. 604 00:27:37,868 --> 00:27:41,348 Speaker 1: Keep an eye on Danny Gray maybe an unheralded star 605 00:27:41,468 --> 00:27:43,428 Speaker 1: in that forty nine. Have you heard the Kittles calling 606 00:27:43,468 --> 00:27:47,148 Speaker 1: him fifty shades? Is he really? That'd be great? But 607 00:27:47,268 --> 00:27:52,428 Speaker 1: he should joke. Number four is a player who has 608 00:27:52,468 --> 00:27:56,788 Speaker 1: been truly taken at Tennessee by storm and it's Malik Willis. 609 00:27:57,308 --> 00:28:02,388 Speaker 1: Can't talk enough about Malik Wills's performance last Thursday night, fantastic, plays, electrifying. 610 00:28:02,468 --> 00:28:05,468 Speaker 1: Can he do it again? The girl? And then this 611 00:28:05,548 --> 00:28:08,388 Speaker 1: week they had practice. They're playing against the Buccaneers and 612 00:28:08,468 --> 00:28:11,588 Speaker 1: the tweets were coming in fast and heavy. Teresa Walker 613 00:28:11,628 --> 00:28:14,148 Speaker 1: does a great job covering the Titans. Malik Willis with 614 00:28:14,188 --> 00:28:16,148 Speaker 1: a very nice throw for a touchdown to a Quanta 615 00:28:16,228 --> 00:28:17,748 Speaker 1: in the back of the end zone in the red zone. 616 00:28:17,788 --> 00:28:19,908 Speaker 1: We don't have footage of it because well we weren't 617 00:28:19,908 --> 00:28:22,748 Speaker 1: allowed to videotape it. Then Ben Arthur also blue check 618 00:28:22,788 --> 00:28:25,868 Speaker 1: mark beautiful touchdown from Alik Willis. Just now thread of 619 00:28:25,908 --> 00:28:29,268 Speaker 1: the needle in the end well blocked. But it's starting 620 00:28:30,028 --> 00:28:32,268 Speaker 1: when the reporters are starting to give you that kind 621 00:28:32,268 --> 00:28:34,148 Speaker 1: of taste for your life. Wait a second, what's going 622 00:28:34,228 --> 00:28:36,788 Speaker 1: on here? Who do they have this weekend? Oh, I 623 00:28:36,788 --> 00:28:39,708 Speaker 1: don't know. They host the Buccaneers at seven o'clock Eastern. 624 00:28:40,068 --> 00:28:42,828 Speaker 1: I'll be watching it Saturday night. You should too. Bucks 625 00:28:42,828 --> 00:28:44,788 Speaker 1: Titans weren't got a lot of Alik Willis. Let's see 626 00:28:44,788 --> 00:28:47,268 Speaker 1: what he does in his second game. Number three on 627 00:28:47,308 --> 00:28:49,668 Speaker 1: the watch list is a former buccaneer who's now playing 628 00:28:49,668 --> 00:28:51,668 Speaker 1: for the Kansas City Chiefs and in a wide receiver's 629 00:28:51,748 --> 00:28:55,108 Speaker 1: room that is just completely loaded with new names and faces. 630 00:28:55,228 --> 00:28:57,868 Speaker 1: Justin Watson has been getting a lot of love out 631 00:28:57,868 --> 00:28:59,388 Speaker 1: of Chiefs camp, and I want to talk about the 632 00:28:59,428 --> 00:29:03,988 Speaker 1: former Penn Quaker Justin Watson making plays in Week one 633 00:29:04,028 --> 00:29:07,268 Speaker 1: against the Chicago Bears all over the field, and you're like, 634 00:29:07,308 --> 00:29:10,028 Speaker 1: who is this eighty four going full extension and making 635 00:29:10,028 --> 00:29:12,828 Speaker 1: it happen. This is not some freak thing. This was 636 00:29:12,868 --> 00:29:14,988 Speaker 1: a player who has been lighting it up all in 637 00:29:15,028 --> 00:29:17,268 Speaker 1: the off season, not only just in training fan, but 638 00:29:17,348 --> 00:29:20,028 Speaker 1: back in mini camp and comes over from the Buccaneers, 639 00:29:20,028 --> 00:29:22,348 Speaker 1: where he was on the team. He was a practice 640 00:29:22,388 --> 00:29:25,468 Speaker 1: squad guy. Chiefs signed him this offseason. I think there's 641 00:29:25,468 --> 00:29:27,668 Speaker 1: a legitimate chance, not only that he makes the team, 642 00:29:27,948 --> 00:29:30,588 Speaker 1: but that Justin Watson plays a big role for this squad. 643 00:29:30,908 --> 00:29:32,628 Speaker 1: Take a look at some of his numbers at Penn 644 00:29:32,868 --> 00:29:35,148 Speaker 1: back when he was there. This was a guy who 645 00:29:35,188 --> 00:29:37,508 Speaker 1: did it all. He would make things happen. Two hundred 646 00:29:37,508 --> 00:29:41,028 Speaker 1: and eighty six catches, nearly four thousand receiving yards, has 647 00:29:41,148 --> 00:29:44,188 Speaker 1: huge numbers. Was with the Buccaneers for quite a bit, 648 00:29:44,348 --> 00:29:47,668 Speaker 1: and Maine plays with the Buccaneers this year. Finally signs 649 00:29:47,668 --> 00:29:50,428 Speaker 1: with the Chiefs and they are excited. I think that 650 00:29:50,508 --> 00:29:53,348 Speaker 1: Justin Watson might emerge as one of those guys that 651 00:29:53,388 --> 00:29:56,188 Speaker 1: we are going to be talking about in this seasons. 652 00:29:56,588 --> 00:29:59,268 Speaker 1: Remember that your fantasy teams number two of the US 653 00:29:59,348 --> 00:30:01,548 Speaker 1: another rookie quarterback, Kenny Pikett. I want to see what 654 00:30:01,588 --> 00:30:04,108 Speaker 1: he's got because last week they're already doing ticker tape 655 00:30:04,108 --> 00:30:06,708 Speaker 1: per aids for Pickett in Fittsburgh. Way he played, he 656 00:30:06,788 --> 00:30:09,068 Speaker 1: was awesome. He came in and he was making plays 657 00:30:09,148 --> 00:30:11,948 Speaker 1: all over and he was doing so after Trubisky was 658 00:30:12,028 --> 00:30:14,108 Speaker 1: kind of like all right, no, Mitch was in for 659 00:30:14,148 --> 00:30:16,588 Speaker 1: a little bit. Pickett came in and just obviously he 660 00:30:16,708 --> 00:30:18,828 Speaker 1: just tore it up and has everyone excited. What can 661 00:30:18,908 --> 00:30:20,988 Speaker 1: you do it? Again. Now we've got some film on you. 662 00:30:21,108 --> 00:30:22,628 Speaker 1: Now you know he might be playing against the ones 663 00:30:22,668 --> 00:30:26,228 Speaker 1: a little bit.
