6
00:00:36,988 --> 00:00:39,548
Speaker 1: of trying to phil Kay Adams shoes this week, So

7
00:00:39,668 --> 00:00:41,188
Speaker 1: for everybody at home, there'll be a little bit of

8
00:00:41,188 --> 00:00:43,508
Speaker 1: a replacement until we find that. All right, Well, let's

9
00:00:43,548 --> 00:00:49,948
Speaker 1: get right into the lead block. All right, The big

10
00:00:49,948 --> 00:00:52,988
Speaker 1: schedule release dropped last week, and there are ridiculous games

11
00:00:53,028 --> 00:00:55,708
Speaker 1: all season long, but just check out Week one, guys,

12
00:00:55,788 --> 00:00:58,268
Speaker 1: bills it ramps for the kickoff game. Russ has returned

13
00:00:58,268 --> 00:01:01,588
Speaker 1: to Seattle on Monday night, some amazing division rivalries, and

14
00:01:01,668 --> 00:01:03,828
Speaker 1: in that four o'clock window on Sunday, the Cards open

15
00:01:03,868 --> 00:01:06,948
Speaker 1: up at home against Patrick Mahomes and the Chiefs. Take

16
00:01:06,988 --> 00:01:09,228
Speaker 1: a listen to what Cliff Kingsbury said about that tough

17
00:01:09,308 --> 00:01:12,948
Speaker 1: Week one matchup. Yeah, I was really thankful to the

18
00:01:12,948 --> 00:01:16,308
Speaker 1: schedule makers for giving us a young quarterback that hadn't

19
00:01:16,388 --> 00:01:18,388
Speaker 1: quite found his way in the league just yet, you know,

20
00:01:18,668 --> 00:01:21,668
Speaker 1: still trying to figure it out, so it'll be fun.

21
00:01:21,788 --> 00:01:24,188
Speaker 1: He sent me like the little I emoji before it

22
00:01:24,228 --> 00:01:26,708
Speaker 1: even came out, so he'll be rebbed up. We'll definitely

23
00:01:26,748 --> 00:01:28,988
Speaker 1: have some Texas Tech fans tune into that one. I'm

24
00:01:29,028 --> 00:01:33,388
Speaker 1: sure all right, clearly both of these teams are gonna

25
00:01:33,388 --> 00:01:35,828
Speaker 1: look very different once we get to week one. But

26
00:01:35,868 --> 00:01:38,388
Speaker 1: I gotta ask you and really much of the league,

27
00:01:38,388 --> 00:01:41,108
Speaker 1: but let's focus on week one, and I'll start with you, Kyle,

28
00:01:41,268 --> 00:01:43,788
Speaker 1: what is the one offense that you cannot wait that

29
00:01:43,908 --> 00:01:46,668
Speaker 1: you are juiced up and ready for the see week one? Well,

30
00:01:46,668 --> 00:01:49,588
Speaker 1: a great question, James. Sunday the eleventh, will you guys

31
00:01:49,628 --> 00:01:52,188
Speaker 1: will all be at your glamorous positions all over the country,

32
00:01:52,228 --> 00:01:55,308
Speaker 1: and Peter will be carrying his Fox pregame show like always.

33
00:01:55,348 --> 00:01:57,548
Speaker 1: I'll be on the couch and I'll be watching Scottie

34
00:01:57,548 --> 00:01:59,588
Speaker 1: Hanson and when he goes for the first time to

35
00:01:59,708 --> 00:02:06,588
Speaker 1: the opto box, I'm looking down in Miami, Florida Pats Dolphins.

36
00:02:06,588 --> 00:02:09,228
Speaker 1: This is the one I am most intrigued by, specifically,

37
00:02:09,308 --> 00:02:12,548
Speaker 1: Jane Year question the offense they break the hottle for

38
00:02:12,548 --> 00:02:15,148
Speaker 1: the first time first and ten from the twenty five

39
00:02:15,628 --> 00:02:18,748
Speaker 1: what in the tarnation is this offense gonna be? Where's

40
00:02:18,788 --> 00:02:21,948
Speaker 1: Tyreek lining up? Where's Wattle lining up? What is McDaniel

41
00:02:22,028 --> 00:02:25,228
Speaker 1: doing on the sideline? How long before Tyreek goes in motion?

42
00:02:25,268 --> 00:02:26,788
Speaker 1: Did they get him the ball on the first play?

43
00:02:26,868 --> 00:02:28,748
Speaker 1: The third play? Does he not touch the ball in

44
00:02:28,748 --> 00:02:31,428
Speaker 1: the first series? At what point does Mike McDaniel say

45
00:02:31,508 --> 00:02:34,348
Speaker 1: enough of this crap about Tua and throw a deep pass?

46
00:02:34,668 --> 00:02:37,188
Speaker 1: What is the first pass from twa over five yards?

47
00:02:37,188 --> 00:02:40,308
Speaker 1: Over two yards, over fifty yards? Are there any furthermore?

48
00:02:40,508 --> 00:02:43,188
Speaker 1: What does McDaniel like on the sideline? I'm not even joking.

49
00:02:43,308 --> 00:02:45,828
Speaker 1: What is he wearing? Is he a visor guy? Is

50
00:02:45,828 --> 00:02:47,908
Speaker 1: he a no hat guy? Is he a clipboard guy?

51
00:02:48,148 --> 00:02:50,748
Speaker 1: This guy is so intriguing and his offense comes right

52
00:02:50,788 --> 00:02:54,148
Speaker 1: with it. And also they're playing against the Patriots. They're

53
00:02:54,148 --> 00:02:57,388
Speaker 1: playing against the Belichick Patriots with no Josh McDaniels. There's

54
00:02:57,428 --> 00:03:00,108
Speaker 1: all kinds of intrigue there. It'll probably be a thousand

55
00:03:00,188 --> 00:03:03,548
Speaker 1: percent humidity in ninety five degrees. Of all the games

56
00:03:03,548 --> 00:03:05,308
Speaker 1: that hands it could point to in the opti box,

57
00:03:05,348 --> 00:03:07,668
Speaker 1: I'm going to Florida. I don't know how you beat

58
00:03:07,668 --> 00:03:09,228
Speaker 1: at mic rop unless you have like a Hall of

59
00:03:09,228 --> 00:03:13,228
Speaker 1: Fame quarterback joining the new team or something. I'm gonna

60
00:03:13,228 --> 00:03:16,068
Speaker 1: have to go to the Denver Broncos, right, gotta I

61
00:03:16,068 --> 00:03:18,708
Speaker 1: gotta see what Russell Wilson looks like in a Denver

62
00:03:18,748 --> 00:03:21,868
Speaker 1: Broncos uniform. I can't even believe that we're gonna be

63
00:03:21,908 --> 00:03:25,588
Speaker 1: talking about Russell Wilson in another uniform, especially he spent

64
00:03:25,628 --> 00:03:28,148
Speaker 1: the last ten years with my Seattle seahalls. Look at

65
00:03:28,188 --> 00:03:31,748
Speaker 1: that offense, Javonte Williams, Melvin Gordon, big time receivers on

66
00:03:31,788 --> 00:03:35,788
Speaker 1: the outside, kJ Hamdler, Jerry Judy, and I'm very concerned

67
00:03:35,828 --> 00:03:38,068
Speaker 1: about how this offense looks. I'm excited to see what

68
00:03:38,108 --> 00:03:40,508
Speaker 1: it's gonna look like, but I'm concerned because when you

69
00:03:40,548 --> 00:03:42,828
Speaker 1: look at what Matthew Hackett has done with the Green

70
00:03:42,868 --> 00:03:45,748
Speaker 1: Bay Packers offense, along with Matt Lafloor, they put Aaron

71
00:03:45,828 --> 00:03:48,468
Speaker 1: Rodgers in a structure right, And to me, that's what

72
00:03:48,588 --> 00:03:50,588
Speaker 1: helped Aaron Rodgers out. When you look at when you

73
00:03:50,588 --> 00:03:53,428
Speaker 1: look at Russell Wilson, where was the narrative in Seattle?

74
00:03:53,428 --> 00:03:56,508
Speaker 1: The narrative was Pete Carroll, and the offensive staff wasn't

75
00:03:56,588 --> 00:04:00,268
Speaker 1: letting Russell cook enough, right, wasn't letting him, you know,

76
00:04:00,468 --> 00:04:03,028
Speaker 1: run around and get the all script plays like we're

77
00:04:03,028 --> 00:04:05,668
Speaker 1: accustomed to seeing. Right, Just think about this guy when

78
00:04:05,748 --> 00:04:08,188
Speaker 1: Russell Wilson is behind the center. When he was with

79
00:04:08,308 --> 00:04:12,108
Speaker 1: the Seattle, almost twenty percent of his passes were twenty

80
00:04:12,148 --> 00:04:15,228
Speaker 1: plus yards down the football field, almost a quarter almost

81
00:04:15,228 --> 00:04:18,508
Speaker 1: a quarter of his passes were explosive. We looked at

82
00:04:18,508 --> 00:04:21,308
Speaker 1: Denver Broncos offense. They were twenty six in the National

83
00:04:21,348 --> 00:04:25,508
Speaker 1: Football League last year at producing explosive plays. So I

84
00:04:25,668 --> 00:04:28,868
Speaker 1: assume the explosive plays are just gonna come, but it

85
00:04:28,948 --> 00:04:31,988
Speaker 1: is gonna take some adjustment from the receivers on the outside,

86
00:04:32,308 --> 00:04:35,588
Speaker 1: from the play caller, from the offensive line, because Russell

87
00:04:35,628 --> 00:04:38,148
Speaker 1: Wilson isn't a guy that just plays in the structure.

88
00:04:38,508 --> 00:04:41,508
Speaker 1: After he drops back, there's the initial play and then

89
00:04:41,588 --> 00:04:44,868
Speaker 1: there's the secondary place, the extended drops. That's what I'm

90
00:04:44,908 --> 00:04:47,268
Speaker 1: concerned with. That's what I'm excited to see ken this

91
00:04:47,428 --> 00:04:50,908
Speaker 1: offense adjust to how Russell Wilson cooks. For lack of

92
00:04:50,948 --> 00:04:54,348
Speaker 1: better words. No, it's good. And Nathaniel Hackett is coming

93
00:04:54,388 --> 00:04:57,628
Speaker 1: off that Rogers experience where these are different types of quarterbacks,

94
00:04:57,708 --> 00:05:00,308
Speaker 1: but he might know how to handle the status of

95
00:05:00,348 --> 00:05:01,988
Speaker 1: the superstar. A lot of time a first year coach

96
00:05:02,028 --> 00:05:03,388
Speaker 1: comes in and it's like, gosh, I'm dealing with the

97
00:05:03,428 --> 00:05:05,868
Speaker 1: Hall of Famer. How do I manage that relationship? Hacket

98
00:05:05,868 --> 00:05:07,468
Speaker 1: had a great one with Rogers and Mike. That's a

99
00:05:07,508 --> 00:05:09,268
Speaker 1: great point. How about a guy who's not going to

100
00:05:09,308 --> 00:05:12,028
Speaker 1: the Hall of Fame yet and a quarterback who haven't

101
00:05:12,028 --> 00:05:14,748
Speaker 1: seen much from yet, who finally has one of these

102
00:05:14,788 --> 00:05:18,268
Speaker 1: offensive masterminds in his ear. I'm curiously the Giants, you know,

103
00:05:18,268 --> 00:05:20,068
Speaker 1: it would say it's most excited to see. I say,

104
00:05:20,068 --> 00:05:22,108
Speaker 1: it was like almost like I'm wait, like I don't

105
00:05:22,148 --> 00:05:25,748
Speaker 1: know what I'm looking at. Here's the Giants offense. The

106
00:05:25,788 --> 00:05:29,188
Speaker 1: players seem to be talented, but the last play that

107
00:05:29,188 --> 00:05:32,948
Speaker 1: we can remember was really you know, from at quarterback

108
00:05:33,068 --> 00:05:36,428
Speaker 1: and a third and eighteen or quarterbacks meek. So what

109
00:05:36,468 --> 00:05:39,028
Speaker 1: do they do? They go to Buffalo and hire Brian Dable,

110
00:05:39,268 --> 00:05:43,068
Speaker 1: who's maybe the most decorated offensive coordinator in the NFL.

111
00:05:43,228 --> 00:05:45,388
Speaker 1: And I look at what they've got with Kafka here,

112
00:05:45,428 --> 00:05:47,908
Speaker 1: who was a former Eagle who was with the Chiefs

113
00:05:47,908 --> 00:05:50,668
Speaker 1: for years. The enemy never gets a head coaching job.

114
00:05:50,788 --> 00:05:54,028
Speaker 1: Kafka never gets elevated, and he gets coached from Kansas

115
00:05:54,108 --> 00:05:56,828
Speaker 1: City to be the offensive coordinator the Giants. So now

116
00:05:57,148 --> 00:06:00,348
Speaker 1: you've got Dable is the head coach from Buffalo. You've

117
00:06:00,348 --> 00:06:03,828
Speaker 1: got Kafka, the offensive coordinator from Kansas City. You'd like

118
00:06:03,908 --> 00:06:07,028
Speaker 1: to think those two offenses which have dominated the AFC

119
00:06:07,228 --> 00:06:10,308
Speaker 1: over the past three four years, and those masterminds together

120
00:06:10,388 --> 00:06:14,028
Speaker 1: with Daniel Jones, at least the Giants offense will be watchable.

121
00:06:14,108 --> 00:06:17,108
Speaker 1: I'll add this. The New York Rangers won the game

122
00:06:17,108 --> 00:06:20,348
Speaker 1: in overtime last night, beat the Penguins get to the

123
00:06:20,388 --> 00:06:23,268
Speaker 1: next round of the playoffs. Guess who was in the crowd.

124
00:06:23,468 --> 00:06:26,108
Speaker 1: Brian Dable. He has been in the crowd for three

125
00:06:26,468 --> 00:06:30,148
Speaker 1: Rangers games in the playoffs. The Rangers are three and

126
00:06:30,388 --> 00:06:34,308
Speaker 1: oh he is the lucky charm in. Let's go Dable,

127
00:06:34,468 --> 00:06:36,748
Speaker 1: bring that to New York and bring that to the Giants,

128
00:06:36,908 --> 00:06:40,108
Speaker 1: and take Kafka with you, all right? The Eagles offense

129
00:06:40,268 --> 00:06:42,668
Speaker 1: is what I'm excited to see. And guys, the last

130
00:06:42,668 --> 00:06:44,188
Speaker 1: time I filled them on this show, we talked about

131
00:06:44,228 --> 00:06:47,748
Speaker 1: the potential, the possibility of a j Brown going and

132
00:06:47,828 --> 00:06:51,548
Speaker 1: reuniting with Jalen Hurts, Jalen Hurts actively recruiting him. How

133
00:06:51,548 --> 00:06:53,228
Speaker 1: excited he is going to be this number one ranked

134
00:06:53,268 --> 00:06:55,228
Speaker 1: rushing offense. They had close to one hundred and sixty

135
00:06:55,308 --> 00:06:58,068
Speaker 1: yards on the ground. You had Jalen Hurts, you had

136
00:06:58,068 --> 00:07:00,708
Speaker 1: what seven hundred and eighty four yards of that, and

137
00:07:00,748 --> 00:07:03,428
Speaker 1: then you pair aj Brown with DeVante Smith who had

138
00:07:03,508 --> 00:07:06,068
Speaker 1: nine hundred and six teen. This could be a very

139
00:07:06,148 --> 00:07:08,788
Speaker 1: explosive offense. Let's see what Nick Sirianni can do with

140
00:07:08,828 --> 00:07:11,028
Speaker 1: this group. But that's one that I'm circling on the calendar.

141
00:07:11,108 --> 00:07:12,788
Speaker 1: Miami was the one I wanted, Cally, you took it

142
00:07:12,828 --> 00:07:14,908
Speaker 1: off the board, so I went for second best Eagles.

143
00:07:15,868 --> 00:07:18,028
Speaker 1: That's okay, Jane, and you should talk more Eagles. I

144
00:07:18,068 --> 00:07:20,148
Speaker 1: loved hearing Eagles talk from you. Enough of that team

145
00:07:20,148 --> 00:07:26,268
Speaker 1: with a start and tell them that if you're joining

146
00:07:26,348 --> 00:07:29,468
Speaker 1: us this morning, you probably saw that mister Tatum threw

147
00:07:29,508 --> 00:07:33,028
Speaker 1: his team on their backs and the Celtics get home

148
00:07:33,068 --> 00:07:35,628
Speaker 1: court advantage and then beat the Bucks in the playoff,

149
00:07:35,668 --> 00:07:38,788
Speaker 1: eliminating the world champion Milwaukee Bucks. Then there was this

150
00:07:38,828 --> 00:07:41,148
Speaker 1: one last night. The Suns were down forty points in

151
00:07:41,188 --> 00:07:43,068
Speaker 1: the first half. They never dug out of the whole

152
00:07:43,108 --> 00:07:48,828
Speaker 1: Booker was invisible. Chris Paul, after seventeen years, fails to

153
00:07:48,828 --> 00:07:51,508
Speaker 1: get a ring. Yet again, we're not being negative this

154
00:07:51,548 --> 00:07:53,628
Speaker 1: morning in Phoenix. I know you're on the West coast.

155
00:07:53,708 --> 00:07:56,468
Speaker 1: You might not be seeing as bash what happened last night,

156
00:07:56,508 --> 00:07:59,508
Speaker 1: but it was just confounding. And yet that whole concept

157
00:07:59,588 --> 00:08:03,668
Speaker 1: of not having the ring, it haunts players in every sport,

158
00:08:03,748 --> 00:08:07,908
Speaker 1: and it also raises expectations. We saw Matthew Stafford slay

159
00:08:07,948 --> 00:08:09,828
Speaker 1: his dragon last year. So I'm gonna go around the

160
00:08:09,908 --> 00:08:13,988
Speaker 1: horn here and asking you guys, which player who currently

161
00:08:14,308 --> 00:08:18,468
Speaker 1: doesn't have a ring in the NFL has the highest

162
00:08:18,548 --> 00:08:22,268
Speaker 1: expectations this season. Let's start off with the X player,

163
00:08:22,348 --> 00:08:24,548
Speaker 1: Michael Robinson. Who do you look at and say, hey,

164
00:08:24,548 --> 00:08:25,868
Speaker 1: you don't have a ring, go out and get it

165
00:08:25,948 --> 00:08:27,788
Speaker 1: this season. I don't know if he's going to be

166
00:08:27,828 --> 00:08:31,108
Speaker 1: the top player with the highest expectations, but he's definitely

167
00:08:31,108 --> 00:08:32,828
Speaker 1: a guy that I'm looking at and looking at an

168
00:08:32,868 --> 00:08:35,868
Speaker 1: opportunity to possibly get to a Super Bowl. That's Matt Ryan.

169
00:08:36,028 --> 00:08:39,108
Speaker 1: He just left Atlanta now he's with the Indianapolis Colts.

170
00:08:39,148 --> 00:08:42,308
Speaker 1: He has a strong run game with Jonathan Taylor and

171
00:08:42,468 --> 00:08:44,348
Speaker 1: that offensive line of things that they're able to do

172
00:08:44,428 --> 00:08:46,588
Speaker 1: in the run game. We look at the last time

173
00:08:46,908 --> 00:08:49,548
Speaker 1: that a Matt Ryan had a run game that they

174
00:08:49,548 --> 00:08:51,988
Speaker 1: could lean on and win games with. That was when

175
00:08:52,028 --> 00:08:54,788
Speaker 1: they went to the Super Bowl and gos Shanahan decided

176
00:08:54,828 --> 00:08:56,588
Speaker 1: to stop running the football in that Super Bowl. But

177
00:08:56,628 --> 00:08:59,668
Speaker 1: that's a whole, a whole other conversation. He has a

178
00:08:59,788 --> 00:09:02,468
Speaker 1: play caller and Frank Wright that understands how to have

179
00:09:02,508 --> 00:09:05,268
Speaker 1: a dynamic offense, understand how to run the offense through

180
00:09:05,308 --> 00:09:07,588
Speaker 1: the quarterback or through the running game. And then they

181
00:09:07,628 --> 00:09:10,708
Speaker 1: have a defense led by Gus Bradley there understands how

182
00:09:10,748 --> 00:09:13,828
Speaker 1: to build a championship defense with a secondary that has

183
00:09:13,948 --> 00:09:16,588
Speaker 1: Stefan Gilmour. And I just look at this Indianapolis Coast

184
00:09:16,628 --> 00:09:18,828
Speaker 1: team and say, damn man, you look at their team,

185
00:09:18,908 --> 00:09:21,028
Speaker 1: look at the schedule, look at what they're good at.

186
00:09:21,068 --> 00:09:23,508
Speaker 1: With a Matthew Stafford on this team, they could just

187
00:09:23,548 --> 00:09:26,428
Speaker 1: be a quarterback away. It's true. But I look at

188
00:09:26,468 --> 00:09:28,668
Speaker 1: Chris Paul Peter and I remember, never mind him trying

189
00:09:28,668 --> 00:09:29,948
Speaker 1: to get a ring. I remember the years when it

190
00:09:29,948 --> 00:09:31,748
Speaker 1: was when is it gonna win a playoff series? When

191
00:09:31,948 --> 00:09:33,428
Speaker 1: we when are we gonna get to the second round?

192
00:09:33,508 --> 00:09:35,628
Speaker 1: Like when are we gonna do anything here? And so

193
00:09:35,708 --> 00:09:37,068
Speaker 1: I look at a guy who does not have a

194
00:09:37,108 --> 00:09:39,428
Speaker 1: playoff win. You want to know the top three quarterbacks

195
00:09:39,508 --> 00:09:41,828
Speaker 1: right now in terms of games started without a playoff win.

196
00:09:42,068 --> 00:09:45,308
Speaker 1: Number one is Andy Dalton, Number three is Carson Wentz,

197
00:09:45,388 --> 00:09:47,428
Speaker 1: and right there in the middle is the starting quarterback

198
00:09:47,428 --> 00:09:49,828
Speaker 1: of the Las Vegas Raiders, Derek Carr. Derek Carr's got

199
00:09:49,828 --> 00:09:51,748
Speaker 1: to get something done this year. I mean this, never

200
00:09:51,828 --> 00:09:54,628
Speaker 1: mind the staff for the thing, never mind going and

201
00:09:54,628 --> 00:09:56,788
Speaker 1: get in the whole ring. We got to win a

202
00:09:56,828 --> 00:09:59,148
Speaker 1: wild card. Came Derek Carr, And I like car and

203
00:09:59,148 --> 00:10:01,668
Speaker 1: I think he did awesome work last year, especially with

204
00:10:01,708 --> 00:10:04,148
Speaker 1: what the Raiders went through and all that nonsense and

205
00:10:04,188 --> 00:10:06,148
Speaker 1: all that drama off the field. And there's still one

206
00:10:06,188 --> 00:10:09,428
Speaker 1: throwaway from winning a playoff the Ambiance Cincinnati. But how

207
00:10:09,468 --> 00:10:11,948
Speaker 1: many times have you said one throwaway about Derek Carr?

208
00:10:12,268 --> 00:10:15,268
Speaker 1: One throwaway, one game away, one week. That's enough. Now

209
00:10:15,308 --> 00:10:17,148
Speaker 1: you get the best wide receiver in the world, you

210
00:10:17,148 --> 00:10:20,228
Speaker 1: get the tailor, made coach, the offensive guy. You're glamorous,

211
00:10:20,308 --> 00:10:23,228
Speaker 1: you're Las Vegas. This is the time. I don't care

212
00:10:23,228 --> 00:10:25,468
Speaker 1: what division you're in. You should not be on the list.

213
00:10:25,548 --> 00:10:28,108
Speaker 1: Derek Carr with Andy Dalton and Carson Wentz as the

214
00:10:28,388 --> 00:10:30,948
Speaker 1: guys with the most starts without a playoff wins. Matthew

215
00:10:30,948 --> 00:10:32,788
Speaker 1: Stafford was way on the top of that last last

216
00:10:32,868 --> 00:10:34,508
Speaker 1: year he went on a run. I need to see

217
00:10:34,508 --> 00:10:36,548
Speaker 1: the same thing from Derek Carr. It's time, it's time,

218
00:10:36,668 --> 00:10:38,868
Speaker 1: it's past time. I'm gonna have to agree with Mike

219
00:10:38,948 --> 00:10:41,108
Speaker 1: Rob here, And just to expand on that, we saw

220
00:10:41,228 --> 00:10:44,028
Speaker 1: how well guys like Matthew Stafford and Tom Brady did

221
00:10:44,028 --> 00:10:46,028
Speaker 1: when they went to new teams. They're sort of re energized.

222
00:10:46,068 --> 00:10:48,348
Speaker 1: Frank Reich seems re energized. They look at the way

223
00:10:48,388 --> 00:10:51,148
Speaker 1: he built that offense around Carson Wentz, and they were

224
00:10:51,148 --> 00:10:53,508
Speaker 1: a top ten offense with Carson Wentz. I think when

225
00:10:53,508 --> 00:10:54,628
Speaker 1: you look at some of the weapons that they have

226
00:10:54,668 --> 00:10:57,348
Speaker 1: around him, he's never had you talked about the run game,

227
00:10:57,388 --> 00:10:59,628
Speaker 1: Mike rob He's never had an O line like he's

228
00:10:59,668 --> 00:11:01,708
Speaker 1: about to have with the Colts. So when I look

229
00:11:01,708 --> 00:11:04,388
Speaker 1: at a guy who's made six playoff appearances, one hundred

230
00:11:04,508 --> 00:11:07,148
Speaker 1: in twenty games and his fourteenth year, I think there's

231
00:11:07,228 --> 00:11:10,268
Speaker 1: really high expectations for matt Ryan. I think he has

232
00:11:10,348 --> 00:11:12,308
Speaker 1: high expectations for himself too, with kind of the way

233
00:11:12,348 --> 00:11:14,348
Speaker 1: things went down Atlanta with the hold Deshaun Watson talk.

234
00:11:14,988 --> 00:11:17,468
Speaker 1: We all went quarterback here, Matt Ryan, Matt Ryan, and

235
00:11:17,508 --> 00:11:19,428
Speaker 1: of course Derek Carr. I'll throw on one that doesn't

236
00:11:19,468 --> 00:11:21,668
Speaker 1: have the years and years of not getting there, but

237
00:11:21,788 --> 00:11:25,028
Speaker 1: now has the expectation. Josh Allen. I have high expectations

238
00:11:25,068 --> 00:11:26,948
Speaker 1: for and he's never played in the Super Bowl yet

239
00:11:26,948 --> 00:11:29,148
Speaker 1: we are already crowning him as the preseason MVP and

240
00:11:29,148 --> 00:11:30,348
Speaker 1: the number one guy. And I told you he's had

241
00:11:30,388 --> 00:11:32,468
Speaker 1: the wrong with strongest arm. This is a bill season,

242
00:11:32,548 --> 00:11:36,028
Speaker 1: and Josh Allen, to me, the expectations are pretty darn high.

243
00:11:36,188 --> 00:11:38,308
Speaker 1: Anything short of a Super Bowl might be a letdown.

244
00:11:38,908 --> 00:11:41,388
Speaker 1: All Right, when we get back out of Good Morning Football,

245
00:11:41,428 --> 00:11:43,428
Speaker 1: you're gonna get a little bit of talk on this guy,

246
00:11:43,508 --> 00:11:47,948
Speaker 1: because the rumors to Carolina have not subsided. Let's stick

247
00:11:47,988 --> 00:12:07,868
Speaker 1: with us. Yeah, everyone, and welcome to Good Morning Football,

248
00:12:07,948 --> 00:12:10,548
Speaker 1: the Home edition. I am James Slater here with Peter

249
00:12:10,588 --> 00:12:13,788
Speaker 1: Schegar or Kyle Brandt and Super Bowl champion Mike rob

250
00:12:13,868 --> 00:12:18,348
Speaker 1: Good morning, guys. How you doing? Good morning up. We're

251
00:12:18,388 --> 00:12:20,148
Speaker 1: doing the thumbs up because we've got a little bit

252
00:12:20,148 --> 00:12:25,948
Speaker 1: of the delay. All right, Well, Carolina, I'm sorry, guys,

253
00:12:26,068 --> 00:12:28,908
Speaker 1: God Carolina held their Rookiemeny camp for the weekend and

254
00:12:28,948 --> 00:12:31,748
Speaker 1: got a good look at third round pick Matt Corel

255
00:12:32,148 --> 00:12:35,068
Speaker 1: out of Old Miss. He joins a QB room that

256
00:12:35,268 --> 00:12:37,748
Speaker 1: Artie has a third overall pick back. In twenty eighteen,

257
00:12:37,868 --> 00:12:40,668
Speaker 1: Sam Darnold, now head coach, about rules, asked about Correll

258
00:12:40,708 --> 00:12:42,868
Speaker 1: and whether or not they're all set we're quarterbacks for

259
00:12:42,988 --> 00:12:45,788
Speaker 1: twenty twenty two. Here's what he said. You know, we

260
00:12:45,828 --> 00:12:48,028
Speaker 1: don't draft anybody to come in with the hopes of

261
00:12:48,028 --> 00:12:49,988
Speaker 1: them being a backup. We don't draft anybody to come

262
00:12:49,988 --> 00:12:51,788
Speaker 1: in and just push people or give us depth. We

263
00:12:51,908 --> 00:12:53,828
Speaker 1: draft everybody because we think we want to give him

264
00:12:53,868 --> 00:12:55,268
Speaker 1: a chance to come in and earn a job on

265
00:12:55,308 --> 00:12:56,948
Speaker 1: the teams. If we played today, Sam would be the

266
00:12:56,948 --> 00:12:59,988
Speaker 1: starting quarterback. I think everything's up for competition, you know.

267
00:13:00,028 --> 00:13:02,668
Speaker 1: I mean maybe bringing it out of a veteran quarterback

268
00:13:02,668 --> 00:13:04,668
Speaker 1: for I think those are all possibilities. We want to

269
00:13:04,668 --> 00:13:06,348
Speaker 1: have a really strong quarterback room, so I don't think

270
00:13:06,348 --> 00:13:08,188
Speaker 1: we would say no to a veteran at this point.

271
00:13:08,908 --> 00:13:12,028
Speaker 1: Matt rule not closing the door on bringing a veteran in. Now.

272
00:13:12,028 --> 00:13:13,788
Speaker 1: There's a couple of names that are floating out there,

273
00:13:13,788 --> 00:13:18,028
Speaker 1: guys like Jimmy Gan, but Baker Mayfield, would you for real?

274
00:13:18,268 --> 00:13:21,148
Speaker 1: That's a real question. Sometimes I hate this question because

275
00:13:21,148 --> 00:13:24,748
Speaker 1: it always seems like we're bashing Baker Mayfield, right, But

276
00:13:25,308 --> 00:13:27,148
Speaker 1: I don't want to bash him. But at the end

277
00:13:27,148 --> 00:13:29,468
Speaker 1: of the day, I just don't think Baker Mayfield when

278
00:13:29,508 --> 00:13:32,148
Speaker 1: he's at his best, is a top ten quarterback. I

279
00:13:32,188 --> 00:13:34,308
Speaker 1: just don't. And I think even last year when you

280
00:13:34,348 --> 00:13:36,668
Speaker 1: look at Baker Mayfield when he was with the Cleveland Browns,

281
00:13:36,988 --> 00:13:38,988
Speaker 1: he was hurt. I wouldn't have played if I was

282
00:13:39,068 --> 00:13:41,788
Speaker 1: Baker Mayfield. If you're hurt, don't go out there if

283
00:13:41,828 --> 00:13:43,948
Speaker 1: you're not going to be the best version of yourself.

284
00:13:43,948 --> 00:13:46,268
Speaker 1: And then if you do bring a Baker Mayfield into

285
00:13:46,268 --> 00:13:48,508
Speaker 1: a Carolina environment with a lot of young guys in

286
00:13:48,548 --> 00:13:51,068
Speaker 1: that locker room, with a lot of impressionable guys in

287
00:13:51,068 --> 00:13:53,228
Speaker 1: that locker room, you do have a Baker Mayfield with

288
00:13:53,348 --> 00:13:56,468
Speaker 1: a chip on his shoulder. And if I'm Matt Rule, who,

289
00:13:56,588 --> 00:13:58,868
Speaker 1: if he doesn't start winning here pretty soon, his job

290
00:13:58,948 --> 00:14:00,228
Speaker 1: is going to be on the line and he could

291
00:14:00,268 --> 00:14:02,868
Speaker 1: possibly be out of coaching in the National Football League.

292
00:14:02,948 --> 00:14:05,468
Speaker 1: You're bringing up Baker Mayfield. To me, that's a distraction.

293
00:14:05,708 --> 00:14:07,548
Speaker 1: To me, He's gonna have a chip on his shoulder.

294
00:14:07,548 --> 00:14:09,428
Speaker 1: He's gonna be a guy that is gonna be trying

295
00:14:10,028 --> 00:14:12,268
Speaker 1: to be your starting quarterback, which he should be. But

296
00:14:12,308 --> 00:14:13,668
Speaker 1: at the end of the day, I just don't think

297
00:14:13,828 --> 00:14:17,548
Speaker 1: the best version of Baker Mayfield is better than Sam Donald.

298
00:14:17,548 --> 00:14:20,108
Speaker 1: At the best version of Sam Donald or possibly a

299
00:14:20,188 --> 00:14:22,788
Speaker 1: Matt Carrell who is on a rookie deal who you

300
00:14:22,828 --> 00:14:25,948
Speaker 1: can build an organization around. Because of that rookie deal.

301
00:14:26,068 --> 00:14:28,268
Speaker 1: I like Matt Carrell not only just because of his

302
00:14:28,508 --> 00:14:31,508
Speaker 1: quick release and things he did in college, but I

303
00:14:31,548 --> 00:14:34,108
Speaker 1: like his athletic ability. The guy average almost four yards

304
00:14:34,508 --> 00:14:36,428
Speaker 1: carried when he was running a football, had over thirteen

305
00:14:36,468 --> 00:14:40,468
Speaker 1: hundred yards rushington football over his four years in college.

306
00:14:40,508 --> 00:14:42,148
Speaker 1: And I just think he has the skill set that

307
00:14:42,228 --> 00:14:45,908
Speaker 1: this offense can build around. Right, that RPO type of

308
00:14:45,908 --> 00:14:48,108
Speaker 1: a style, that's the future of offense in the National

309
00:14:48,108 --> 00:14:50,428
Speaker 1: Football League. So why not build it around this guy?

310
00:14:50,748 --> 00:14:52,508
Speaker 1: Why not build it around this guy? And I think

311
00:14:52,628 --> 00:14:55,908
Speaker 1: before the season's over, we're gonna see Matt Carrell with

312
00:14:55,988 --> 00:14:59,348
Speaker 1: a chance leading the Carolina Patris. I definitely don't think

313
00:14:59,388 --> 00:15:03,828
Speaker 1: it'll be Baker Mayfield. Okay, I respect that, and you know,

314
00:15:04,468 --> 00:15:07,508
Speaker 1: look at the situation in Carolina. I don't think anyone

315
00:15:07,508 --> 00:15:09,508
Speaker 1: has the Carolina Panthers going to the Super Bowl right now,

316
00:15:09,548 --> 00:15:11,268
Speaker 1: so you might as well, to me, have an open

317
00:15:11,308 --> 00:15:14,228
Speaker 1: competition for that job between Donald and Corral. Let them go.

318
00:15:14,428 --> 00:15:16,708
Speaker 1: As for the Baker thing, can I see the salaries

319
00:15:16,748 --> 00:15:18,948
Speaker 1: that Baker and Donald are set to make this year.

320
00:15:19,028 --> 00:15:20,948
Speaker 1: Neither one of them had their fifth year option picked up.

321
00:15:20,988 --> 00:15:24,108
Speaker 1: They're both gonna make good money this season, too much

322
00:15:24,148 --> 00:15:27,028
Speaker 1: money to probably have both of them up there on

323
00:15:27,068 --> 00:15:29,508
Speaker 1: the board. But they're both gonna make about nineteen million

324
00:15:29,508 --> 00:15:32,108
Speaker 1: dollars this season. You can't have both of them. What if, though,

325
00:15:32,388 --> 00:15:35,428
Speaker 1: what if the Cleveland Brown said, to avoid the situation

326
00:15:35,468 --> 00:15:37,828
Speaker 1: of having him come back here, we will trade you

327
00:15:38,028 --> 00:15:40,908
Speaker 1: Baker Mayfield for a pick, and we'll pick up the salary.

328
00:15:41,068 --> 00:15:43,628
Speaker 1: We'll eat the salary we'll eat, so you get them

329
00:15:43,628 --> 00:15:46,428
Speaker 1: for free for that one year. And if that's the case,

330
00:15:46,708 --> 00:15:48,828
Speaker 1: or even on a discount or like we'll eat, we'll

331
00:15:48,828 --> 00:15:52,148
Speaker 1: take fourteen or the eighteen million, then hell yeah, take

332
00:15:52,188 --> 00:15:56,188
Speaker 1: Baker Mayfield and let's see what Sam Donald. Let's see

333
00:15:56,268 --> 00:15:59,388
Speaker 1: him win that job. Let's see what crowd. Okay, so

334
00:15:59,388 --> 00:16:02,148
Speaker 1: it's a distraction, So what the Panthers aren't going to

335
00:16:02,188 --> 00:16:04,068
Speaker 1: win super Bowl this year anyway, you might as well

336
00:16:04,068 --> 00:16:06,348
Speaker 1: throw in there and see who Let the best man win.

337
00:16:06,708 --> 00:16:10,468
Speaker 1: And if Darnald raises his game and Darnald rises to

338
00:16:10,468 --> 00:16:12,948
Speaker 1: the occasion and says, yeah, Baker's in there and might

339
00:16:12,988 --> 00:16:15,108
Speaker 1: be a distraction, but I still won the job, well,

340
00:16:15,108 --> 00:16:18,708
Speaker 1: then maybe Darnald is that guy who was taken third

341
00:16:18,708 --> 00:16:20,588
Speaker 1: overall by the Jets and just had had a raw

342
00:16:20,668 --> 00:16:23,908
Speaker 1: deal his whole career because of coaching, or because of injury, raiser,

343
00:16:23,908 --> 00:16:26,708
Speaker 1: because of whatever else. I say, bring Baker in. If

344
00:16:26,708 --> 00:16:29,868
Speaker 1: the money is right, if you can get Cleveland and

345
00:16:29,988 --> 00:16:32,428
Speaker 1: Cleveland right now, it's in a rock in a hard

346
00:16:32,468 --> 00:16:35,468
Speaker 1: place is between that. Have them eat the salary, you

347
00:16:35,468 --> 00:16:37,308
Speaker 1: guys take it. We'll avoid that for you. You don't

348
00:16:37,308 --> 00:16:38,908
Speaker 1: want Baker hanging around. You don't want to pay him

349
00:16:38,908 --> 00:16:40,868
Speaker 1: to do nothing. We'll give you a fourth round pick

350
00:16:40,908 --> 00:16:44,748
Speaker 1: for Baker Mayfield, but you eat that salary fund, Carolina.

351
00:16:45,108 --> 00:16:47,388
Speaker 1: Let's go bring Baker and the best man win. We're

352
00:16:47,388 --> 00:16:49,268
Speaker 1: not wearing the super Bowl, or at least don't expect to.

353
00:16:49,428 --> 00:16:51,228
Speaker 1: Who knows, maybe we get surprised and we go and

354
00:16:51,268 --> 00:16:53,468
Speaker 1: do something. But let's at least have a quarterback competition

355
00:16:53,468 --> 00:16:55,908
Speaker 1: and bring the best people possible in the building. Peter,

356
00:16:55,948 --> 00:16:57,108
Speaker 1: let me put you on the spot right now. You

357
00:16:57,108 --> 00:16:59,508
Speaker 1: know who the Carolina Panthers opened the season with. Carolina

358
00:16:59,548 --> 00:17:04,908
Speaker 1: Panthers opened the season with the Falcons the clean Len Browns,

359
00:17:05,508 --> 00:17:08,228
Speaker 1: So that would be really come some kind of like

360
00:17:08,388 --> 00:17:11,908
Speaker 1: one party buddy, that is Panthers Browns who start the season.

361
00:17:12,068 --> 00:17:14,388
Speaker 1: Speaking of parties, it's a little sidebar here. We are

362
00:17:14,788 --> 00:17:17,548
Speaker 1: an Emmy nominated program. We're very proud of that. Next

363
00:17:17,548 --> 00:17:20,508
Speaker 1: Tuesday night, maybe we'll shock the world and actually win one.

364
00:17:20,588 --> 00:17:21,908
Speaker 1: But I have to tell you I just got a

365
00:17:21,948 --> 00:17:24,028
Speaker 1: text from a number I don't recognize. It's from Tony

366
00:17:24,108 --> 00:17:27,228
Speaker 1: Kornheiser and said, Kyle, we thought we at PTI, we're

367
00:17:27,268 --> 00:17:29,388
Speaker 1: gonna win the Emmy. But then I saw the opening

368
00:17:29,468 --> 00:17:31,668
Speaker 1: sequence to start the hour that you guys did, and

369
00:17:31,748 --> 00:17:34,668
Speaker 1: it's over. It's yours. We're never gonna win it again.

370
00:17:34,988 --> 00:17:37,068
Speaker 1: The way they just had a shot of bacon and

371
00:17:37,108 --> 00:17:40,268
Speaker 1: a stock subway going by on behalf of Wilbon and I,

372
00:17:40,508 --> 00:17:43,028
Speaker 1: you guys are not taking the torch. We can't compete

373
00:17:43,028 --> 00:17:45,588
Speaker 1: with that kind of content. So thank you for watching Tony.

374
00:17:45,828 --> 00:17:48,548
Speaker 1: In the meantime, the Baker Mayfield thing. I say this

375
00:17:48,628 --> 00:17:50,748
Speaker 1: all the show walking their support group. I feel like

376
00:17:50,788 --> 00:17:53,148
Speaker 1: I need to It's done. It's done, Peter, but let's

377
00:17:53,148 --> 00:17:55,708
Speaker 1: talk Baker. I'm Kyle and I'm a Baker Mayfield fan.

378
00:17:55,828 --> 00:17:58,668
Speaker 1: I know that's very unpopular. I tried, as you guys

379
00:17:58,708 --> 00:18:00,748
Speaker 1: are talking, to convince myself into saying, now, hold on,

380
00:18:00,868 --> 00:18:02,868
Speaker 1: Peter's making a point there and Mike's out on it,

381
00:18:02,868 --> 00:18:05,628
Speaker 1: and I don't think I can talk myself into Baker.

382
00:18:05,708 --> 00:18:09,148
Speaker 1: On the Panthers, I can't money aside. I don't care

383
00:18:09,188 --> 00:18:11,508
Speaker 1: that him and Darnald in one room, Like, are they

384
00:18:11,548 --> 00:18:14,188
Speaker 1: even that difference? Is Baker even that much of an upgrade?

385
00:18:14,228 --> 00:18:17,108
Speaker 1: And here's my biggest problem. Baker has a massive reputation

386
00:18:17,188 --> 00:18:20,348
Speaker 1: problem right now. Never mind the media amongst the players.

387
00:18:20,388 --> 00:18:23,668
Speaker 1: I am still waiting for anyone on the Browns, on

388
00:18:23,788 --> 00:18:27,388
Speaker 1: the Panthers, on the Seahawks, I'm the bleeping Sooners to

389
00:18:27,468 --> 00:18:30,908
Speaker 1: come out and tweet, hey, let's go get Baker. Baker's

390
00:18:30,988 --> 00:18:33,668
Speaker 1: my guy. I want to go to battle with Baker. Please,

391
00:18:33,948 --> 00:18:37,748
Speaker 1: Seattle Seahawks bring in Baker. No One and these guys

392
00:18:37,748 --> 00:18:40,668
Speaker 1: are tweeting everything this is my guy. Let's go get him,

393
00:18:40,708 --> 00:18:43,028
Speaker 1: Let's recruit him. That's how the players talk now. They

394
00:18:43,028 --> 00:18:46,148
Speaker 1: recruit their buddies, crickets. And you know what, one thing

395
00:18:46,148 --> 00:18:47,988
Speaker 1: to take it from me or any of us, what

396
00:18:48,068 --> 00:18:51,788
Speaker 1: do you think a Hall of fame Carolina Panthers wide

397
00:18:51,788 --> 00:18:55,868
Speaker 1: receiver would think about his valuable franchise, his alma mater

398
00:18:55,908 --> 00:18:57,908
Speaker 1: in the NFL bringing in Baker Mayfield, Take it away

399
00:18:57,908 --> 00:19:02,148
Speaker 1: eighty nine. I hear the Carolina Panthers, I'm on set,

400
00:19:02,908 --> 00:19:06,868
Speaker 1: are gonna make a move with Baker Mayfield. My reaction

401
00:19:06,988 --> 00:19:14,948
Speaker 1: if they do, that's a take. It's a strong one. Steve,

402
00:19:14,988 --> 00:19:17,868
Speaker 1: You're amazing. I can't get myself to Panthers getting Baker,

403
00:19:17,908 --> 00:19:20,908
Speaker 1: and I've tried. I live for Steve smith takes. He

404
00:19:21,028 --> 00:19:23,188
Speaker 1: is literally one of my favorites here at the network.

405
00:19:23,668 --> 00:19:25,948
Speaker 1: I am a huge fan of Baker Mayfield and I

406
00:19:25,948 --> 00:19:28,668
Speaker 1: went to Texas, so give that some contexts. And I

407
00:19:28,708 --> 00:19:31,108
Speaker 1: remember leading up to the draft, people are trying to

408
00:19:31,148 --> 00:19:34,228
Speaker 1: make these comparisons about Johnny Man's Ellen Baker Mayfield. These

409
00:19:34,228 --> 00:19:37,068
Speaker 1: are two completely different guys. And I go back to

410
00:19:37,108 --> 00:19:39,708
Speaker 1: his twenty twenty season. It's a season I actually bought

411
00:19:39,748 --> 00:19:41,988
Speaker 1: a Brown's jersey. I grew up in the Dallas area.

412
00:19:41,988 --> 00:19:43,988
Speaker 1: I can't be rocking a Dallas Cowboys one. But I

413
00:19:44,068 --> 00:19:46,868
Speaker 1: was like, you know what, AFC dog pound, I'm all in.

414
00:19:47,348 --> 00:19:49,028
Speaker 1: That was a year that he went eleven and five,

415
00:19:49,148 --> 00:19:52,228
Speaker 1: twenty six touchdowns, eight interceptions. He's proven that if you

416
00:19:52,228 --> 00:19:54,948
Speaker 1: put him in the right situation, he can lead your

417
00:19:54,948 --> 00:19:57,268
Speaker 1: team to the playoffs. And if I'm Matt rule eighteen

418
00:19:57,308 --> 00:19:59,108
Speaker 1: point eight is a high price tack, but you only

419
00:19:59,108 --> 00:20:00,948
Speaker 1: have to do it for a year, and you are

420
00:20:01,068 --> 00:20:03,748
Speaker 1: ten and twenty three in your time in the NFL.

421
00:20:03,828 --> 00:20:05,468
Speaker 1: And when we look it's a quarterback room. You've got

422
00:20:05,508 --> 00:20:08,108
Speaker 1: Matt Carrel and see him Darnold. And while I respect

423
00:20:08,188 --> 00:20:10,428
Speaker 1: the fact that they think that Sam Darnold's game has

424
00:20:10,468 --> 00:20:13,108
Speaker 1: grown as a result of Ben Macado being there in Carolina,

425
00:20:13,428 --> 00:20:15,668
Speaker 1: I think having a guy like Baker Mayfield's got a

426
00:20:15,668 --> 00:20:18,548
Speaker 1: personality that's very similar to a guy like Matt Correll,

427
00:20:18,908 --> 00:20:20,988
Speaker 1: and I'd love to see those two push each other

428
00:20:21,068 --> 00:20:23,908
Speaker 1: in the quarterback room. So I'm all in on Baker

429
00:20:23,948 --> 00:20:26,868
Speaker 1: Mayfield going to the Panthers. Sorry, Steve, I respect the

430
00:20:26,868 --> 00:20:28,468
Speaker 1: hell out of you, but I would love to see

431
00:20:28,508 --> 00:20:30,748
Speaker 1: it for Baker. I just don't get the hate. I've

432
00:20:30,788 --> 00:20:33,588
Speaker 1: seen him enough in Dallas. We run in very similar

433
00:20:33,668 --> 00:20:36,828
Speaker 1: social circles, and he's got a really great reputation around

434
00:20:36,868 --> 00:20:39,268
Speaker 1: here as a good person. So I don't get the

435
00:20:39,348 --> 00:20:42,268
Speaker 1: locker room hate or sort of the narrative that's out

436
00:20:42,268 --> 00:20:43,788
Speaker 1: there about it. But I do know that in the NFL,

437
00:20:43,788 --> 00:20:47,348
Speaker 1: when there's a narrative about somebody, it's really hard to change. Yea,

438
00:20:48,628 --> 00:20:50,828
Speaker 1: I know you guys are rolling the same circles. Is

439
00:20:50,868 --> 00:20:53,028
Speaker 1: he a good gratuity? Is he? Is he taking care

440
00:20:53,028 --> 00:20:54,268
Speaker 1: of people? Because that's what I want to know. I

441
00:20:54,268 --> 00:20:56,308
Speaker 1: could tell a lot by a guy in a quarterback

442
00:20:56,348 --> 00:20:58,188
Speaker 1: and that's Harry Steps anyone on the bill, I'm not

443
00:20:58,188 --> 00:21:00,828
Speaker 1: going to be happy. I'm just saying you learn a

444
00:21:00,868 --> 00:21:02,428
Speaker 1: lot about a person when you see them away from

445
00:21:02,428 --> 00:21:04,588
Speaker 1: the football field, the way they treat people, way that

446
00:21:04,628 --> 00:21:07,508
Speaker 1: they failed themselves. And I've literally never heard a bad

447
00:21:07,548 --> 00:21:10,108
Speaker 1: thing about him. Dead serious about that. Okay, all right,

448
00:21:11,068 --> 00:21:14,068
Speaker 1: welcome back, Good Morning Football on a Monday. There's nothing

449
00:21:14,108 --> 00:21:15,628
Speaker 1: like we always love to have fun here because the

450
00:21:15,828 --> 00:21:17,668
Speaker 1: bush would be fun, but there is a bedrock of

451
00:21:17,748 --> 00:21:20,268
Speaker 1: hard news that runs through this show. Nobody ever turns

452
00:21:20,308 --> 00:21:22,508
Speaker 1: off the program. Why Will Selvn's talking? And that's why

453
00:21:22,508 --> 00:21:25,548
Speaker 1: we throw two Los Angeles. What's up? Will? Good morning?

454
00:21:25,548 --> 00:21:28,388
Speaker 1: How are you feeling what's going on there? KB? I

455
00:21:28,388 --> 00:21:31,828
Speaker 1: appreciate that. Never thought of myself as a human rating spike,

456
00:21:31,948 --> 00:21:34,948
Speaker 1: but hey, I appreciate that, my friend. We'll have to

457
00:21:34,988 --> 00:21:38,468
Speaker 1: start with your favorite subject, KB. That would be the

458
00:21:38,588 --> 00:21:41,588
Speaker 1: Dallas Cowboys. That when the Cowboys schedule came out, I

459
00:21:41,628 --> 00:21:45,428
Speaker 1: think there was some curiosity as to when Mike McCarthy

460
00:21:45,468 --> 00:21:49,188
Speaker 1: would be making a return to lambeau Field. And of

461
00:21:49,228 --> 00:21:51,988
Speaker 1: course now we know it's going to be November thirteenth,

462
00:21:52,308 --> 00:21:56,468
Speaker 1: week ten, following the Cowboys buy in week nine, or

463
00:21:56,508 --> 00:21:59,748
Speaker 1: by the way, Dallas opens the season with two straight

464
00:21:59,828 --> 00:22:02,908
Speaker 1: home games against the Bucks in Week one, followed by

465
00:22:02,948 --> 00:22:07,348
Speaker 1: the AFC Championship our champion Bengals. Rather, here's McCarthy on

466
00:22:07,468 --> 00:22:11,468
Speaker 1: his pending trip to lambeau I'd like the instructure of it.

467
00:22:11,548 --> 00:22:13,428
Speaker 1: You know, um, we know we're always going to have

468
00:22:13,468 --> 00:22:15,268
Speaker 1: the national Games and our travel is going to be

469
00:22:15,308 --> 00:22:17,148
Speaker 1: a challenge. I have no idea where we're ranking. I'm

470
00:22:17,188 --> 00:22:19,628
Speaker 1: sure we're in a top tener as far as an

471
00:22:19,668 --> 00:22:21,788
Speaker 1: amount of travel, and you know, in the night games

472
00:22:21,788 --> 00:22:24,268
Speaker 1: and so the travel part of it's always a challenging.

473
00:22:24,348 --> 00:22:25,948
Speaker 1: But you know, this is your three so I feel

474
00:22:25,988 --> 00:22:27,748
Speaker 1: I got to handle on that. You know, going back

475
00:22:27,748 --> 00:22:30,028
Speaker 1: to Green Bay, Man, that'll be fun. And I was

476
00:22:30,068 --> 00:22:33,028
Speaker 1: hoping for October or September, but you know, November will

477
00:22:33,028 --> 00:22:38,988
Speaker 1: be fun. Meanwhile, the Lions holding their rookie mini camp

478
00:22:39,108 --> 00:22:42,148
Speaker 1: over the weekend as head coach Dan Campbell begins season

479
00:22:42,188 --> 00:22:45,188
Speaker 1: two in the Motor City. You might remember last year

480
00:22:45,268 --> 00:22:50,388
Speaker 1: he said they had quote no turns on the roster. Well,

481
00:22:50,508 --> 00:22:53,148
Speaker 1: Campbell is also trying to avoid a certain type of

482
00:22:53,268 --> 00:22:58,268
Speaker 1: player in mini camp this year here, trying to avoid floaters.

483
00:22:58,428 --> 00:23:00,628
Speaker 1: We don't want to draft floaters. And a floaters a

484
00:23:00,628 --> 00:23:02,028
Speaker 1: guy who gets here and he's just happy to be

485
00:23:02,028 --> 00:23:03,868
Speaker 1: here and he's just kind of there, he goes he's

486
00:23:03,868 --> 00:23:06,908
Speaker 1: in the open ocean. Just this is great. Like, we

487
00:23:06,988 --> 00:23:09,708
Speaker 1: want guys that are highly competitive and they love ball.

488
00:23:09,748 --> 00:23:11,748
Speaker 1: And yeah, I mean they're not going to be perfect.

489
00:23:12,228 --> 00:23:14,508
Speaker 1: They might not always say the right things, but they

490
00:23:14,548 --> 00:23:16,868
Speaker 1: mean well, but the boy, they love ball and they'll

491
00:23:16,908 --> 00:23:19,388
Speaker 1: do anything for it and do anything for their teammates.

492
00:23:19,428 --> 00:23:22,188
Speaker 1: So and so in that regard, I'm elated with the

493
00:23:22,228 --> 00:23:25,188
Speaker 1: guys that we have in the vision, keeping the vision

494
00:23:25,788 --> 00:23:29,308
Speaker 1: with words been and where it's going. I yes, Coach

495
00:23:29,348 --> 00:23:33,188
Speaker 1: Campbell has a way with words. Mike Robbie wants no

496
00:23:33,748 --> 00:23:38,228
Speaker 1: floaters in camp, and with no floaters, that means he

497
00:23:38,228 --> 00:23:41,588
Speaker 1: doesn't want anybody who's going to be loafing from station

498
00:23:41,668 --> 00:23:45,028
Speaker 1: to station. I'm sure that you've played or had some

499
00:23:45,548 --> 00:23:48,948
Speaker 1: floaters on rosters that you played on before, but those

500
00:23:48,988 --> 00:23:53,908
Speaker 1: are the energy sucker. He said. He didn't want any floaters.

501
00:23:53,908 --> 00:23:55,748
Speaker 1: I just like to dance, move. Dan Campbell's doing it

502
00:23:55,988 --> 00:24:00,228
Speaker 1: like any floaters. So yeah, well, thank you guys. So

503
00:24:00,468 --> 00:24:03,708
Speaker 1: now it's time for a round of big deal or

504
00:24:03,948 --> 00:24:07,428
Speaker 1: no big Deal. We're gonna start off with the Saints

505
00:24:07,628 --> 00:24:13,348
Speaker 1: after adding some new editions. Recently retired quarterback Drew Brees tweeted,

506
00:24:13,388 --> 00:24:16,828
Speaker 1: man signing jobs Landry and Tyron Matthew makes me want

507
00:24:16,868 --> 00:24:20,108
Speaker 1: to come back and play again. Yeah right, okay, great

508
00:24:20,108 --> 00:24:25,268
Speaker 1: additions leaders and players. Then a few minutes later, he tweeted,

509
00:24:25,268 --> 00:24:28,988
Speaker 1: despite speculation from the media about my future this fall,

510
00:24:29,068 --> 00:24:32,308
Speaker 1: I'm currently undecided. Okay. It sounds like a recruit trying

511
00:24:32,308 --> 00:24:35,788
Speaker 1: to make a I don't know, a college decision right.

512
00:24:36,068 --> 00:24:38,868
Speaker 1: I may work for NBC, I may play football again.

513
00:24:38,908 --> 00:24:41,988
Speaker 1: I may focus on business and philanthropy. I may train

514
00:24:42,148 --> 00:24:45,388
Speaker 1: for pickleball, for the Pickleball Tour, Senior Golf Tour coach,

515
00:24:45,468 --> 00:24:49,548
Speaker 1: my kids are all the above. I'll let you know. Wow,

516
00:24:49,788 --> 00:24:52,588
Speaker 1: Drew Brees has a lot going on, guys. So Kyle,

517
00:24:53,228 --> 00:24:55,588
Speaker 1: we're gonna start this one off with you. Is it

518
00:24:55,628 --> 00:24:58,748
Speaker 1: a big deal or no big deal that Drew Brees

519
00:24:58,908 --> 00:25:02,708
Speaker 1: just casually mentioned a return to the National Football League.

520
00:25:03,308 --> 00:25:04,908
Speaker 1: That part of it is no big deal because I

521
00:25:05,388 --> 00:25:07,228
Speaker 1: just don't think that Drew Brees is going to come

522
00:25:07,228 --> 00:25:09,948
Speaker 1: out and play football this fall out of nowhere. We

523
00:25:10,028 --> 00:25:12,028
Speaker 1: remember what it was like. It was time, guys. I

524
00:25:12,028 --> 00:25:14,548
Speaker 1: think we all agreed on that, and not just us, everybody.

525
00:25:14,548 --> 00:25:15,748
Speaker 1: It was time. It might have been a little bit

526
00:25:15,748 --> 00:25:18,748
Speaker 1: of pastime. I don't think a year from now should

527
00:25:18,788 --> 00:25:21,708
Speaker 1: Ben Roethlisberger say I'm thinking about coming back. Everyone's gonna

528
00:25:21,708 --> 00:25:24,988
Speaker 1: start doing backflips and the more even less likely scenarios

529
00:25:25,068 --> 00:25:27,668
Speaker 1: this one where hey, maybe Carolina gives Drew Brees a call.

530
00:25:27,748 --> 00:25:29,748
Speaker 1: That's not going to happen, and Drew Brees is a

531
00:25:29,788 --> 00:25:31,908
Speaker 1: walking deity in New Orleans. He is not going to

532
00:25:31,948 --> 00:25:34,988
Speaker 1: walk into the Superdome circling the drain wearing number nine

533
00:25:35,028 --> 00:25:37,068
Speaker 1: for the Carolina Panthers for one year and next year.

534
00:25:37,068 --> 00:25:39,068
Speaker 1: I just think that's going to happen. I do think

535
00:25:39,108 --> 00:25:41,388
Speaker 1: it's interesting though, what we started the show with earlier

536
00:25:41,428 --> 00:25:44,428
Speaker 1: talking about him coming at it from a media perspective,

537
00:25:44,468 --> 00:25:46,468
Speaker 1: and Mike you had this interesting take that this is

538
00:25:46,468 --> 00:25:49,068
Speaker 1: all about setting leverage and money, and it was so

539
00:25:49,188 --> 00:25:51,148
Speaker 1: jarring to see these tweets from Drew Brees because if

540
00:25:51,148 --> 00:25:53,748
Speaker 1: you follow him, his tweets are usually like, hey guys,

541
00:25:53,788 --> 00:25:56,468
Speaker 1: are you a team cheese It or Team Cheeto Crunch?

542
00:25:56,548 --> 00:25:59,828
Speaker 1: Classic hashtag ad or you know, like, here's a picture

543
00:25:59,868 --> 00:26:02,308
Speaker 1: of breakfast burritos. I'm happening with the boys. Like it's

544
00:26:02,308 --> 00:26:05,468
Speaker 1: all fine, it's all wholesome, but it's not exactly taking shots.

545
00:26:05,668 --> 00:26:08,148
Speaker 1: And if he wants to leave NBC, I think there'll

546
00:26:08,188 --> 00:26:10,388
Speaker 1: be a lot of people thrilled let him leave NBC.

547
00:26:10,508 --> 00:26:12,748
Speaker 1: It's it's fascinating to me what happened to Drew Brees

548
00:26:12,788 --> 00:26:15,228
Speaker 1: in the last year in the context of what's supposed

549
00:26:15,228 --> 00:26:16,908
Speaker 1: to happen with Tom Brady in a couple of years,

550
00:26:16,948 --> 00:26:19,308
Speaker 1: because you have this thing that happens where you have

551
00:26:19,388 --> 00:26:24,428
Speaker 1: these unbelievably charismatic leaders and these superstars and these household

552
00:26:24,508 --> 00:26:26,708
Speaker 1: names and these these he men out there in the field,

553
00:26:27,108 --> 00:26:28,948
Speaker 1: and man, you put them in a studio desk with

554
00:26:29,028 --> 00:26:31,068
Speaker 1: a suit on and they're talking about I really think

555
00:26:31,108 --> 00:26:33,428
Speaker 1: that the Seahawks need to take more deep shots in

556
00:26:33,428 --> 00:26:36,988
Speaker 1: the second half. I'm sleeping, sleeping, and I was bleeping

557
00:26:37,028 --> 00:26:39,028
Speaker 1: watching Drew Breese and I think he was sleeping, and

558
00:26:39,068 --> 00:26:40,708
Speaker 1: I think he wants to get out of there. And

559
00:26:40,948 --> 00:26:42,748
Speaker 1: so I bring it back to Tom Brady, who's making

560
00:26:42,788 --> 00:26:45,468
Speaker 1: half a billion bucks to do whatever. Let's see, Let's

561
00:26:45,508 --> 00:26:47,508
Speaker 1: see how it goes, because I mean, I can't think

562
00:26:47,548 --> 00:26:49,388
Speaker 1: of an interesting thing that Tom Brady has ever said

563
00:26:49,428 --> 00:26:51,268
Speaker 1: in his life. And yet you're gonna be in there

564
00:26:51,308 --> 00:26:54,228
Speaker 1: and he's gonna be unbelievably compelling. Drew Brees wasn't, and

565
00:26:54,268 --> 00:26:57,108
Speaker 1: a lot of other people weren't so pay attention watch that.

566
00:26:57,108 --> 00:26:58,828
Speaker 1: I don't think he's gonna playing football anymore, but I

567
00:26:58,788 --> 00:27:00,388
Speaker 1: liked him get a fresh start and maybe somewhere else

568
00:27:00,388 --> 00:27:02,628
Speaker 1: try something new and broadcasting well. And Kyle, I think

569
00:27:02,628 --> 00:27:05,268
Speaker 1: there's so few guys that transition from the football field

570
00:27:05,268 --> 00:27:07,428
Speaker 1: to the studio that do it as seamlessly as guys

571
00:27:07,468 --> 00:27:09,588
Speaker 1: like Mike rob and I mean this and Steve Smith.

572
00:27:09,708 --> 00:27:11,548
Speaker 1: It's a lot harder than it looks. I think Jason

573
00:27:11,548 --> 00:27:14,028
Speaker 1: Witten found out the hard way too, right Like he

574
00:27:14,108 --> 00:27:16,308
Speaker 1: and Drew Breese both they're so used to putting in

575
00:27:16,348 --> 00:27:18,268
Speaker 1: the work and it paying off for them, and I

576
00:27:18,308 --> 00:27:20,228
Speaker 1: think it was a real struggle for them not to

577
00:27:20,268 --> 00:27:22,348
Speaker 1: see it work in the studio the way that they

578
00:27:22,388 --> 00:27:24,308
Speaker 1: had wanted to. But I would tell Drew Breese to

579
00:27:24,308 --> 00:27:26,548
Speaker 1: look at Jason Witten as a cautionary tale. It didn't

580
00:27:26,548 --> 00:27:28,748
Speaker 1: really work when he returned back to Dallas and then

581
00:27:28,788 --> 00:27:31,748
Speaker 1: went and played for Las Vegas. I don't see Drew

582
00:27:31,748 --> 00:27:33,868
Speaker 1: returning to the football field, although I would say when

583
00:27:33,948 --> 00:27:36,628
Speaker 1: I watched that final game, only five thousand people in

584
00:27:36,628 --> 00:27:39,708
Speaker 1: the Superdome during COVID his last game, that was really

585
00:27:39,748 --> 00:27:42,268
Speaker 1: hard to watch it. In my mind, I kept thinking

586
00:27:42,308 --> 00:27:45,788
Speaker 1: he was coming back for one more year and he didn't.

587
00:27:45,828 --> 00:27:49,268
Speaker 1: And then I think Tom Brady was rumored to come

588
00:27:49,308 --> 00:27:51,428
Speaker 1: to New Orleans. Not rumored, I heard it was for

589
00:27:51,468 --> 00:27:55,308
Speaker 1: sure happening, and basically Drew found out about that. That's

590
00:27:55,308 --> 00:27:57,348
Speaker 1: when he decided to put off NBC for a year

591
00:27:57,348 --> 00:27:58,548
Speaker 1: and then he went into the booth. But I just

592
00:27:58,548 --> 00:28:00,548
Speaker 1: think how different things would have been in New Orleans

593
00:28:00,588 --> 00:28:02,348
Speaker 1: if Tom Brady had gone there. So there's all these

594
00:28:02,348 --> 00:28:05,588
Speaker 1: moving pieces, these what ifs. I hated seeing Drew Brees'

595
00:28:05,668 --> 00:28:07,348
Speaker 1: career in the way that it did. I thought he

596
00:28:07,388 --> 00:28:09,828
Speaker 1: should have done it on a bigger stage. And I

597
00:28:09,868 --> 00:28:11,988
Speaker 1: think he definitely is chomping at the bit to come

598
00:28:12,028 --> 00:28:13,948
Speaker 1: back with some of the pieces that New Orleans has.

599
00:28:14,228 --> 00:28:15,828
Speaker 1: But I'm sort of with you guys, and again I'm

600
00:28:15,908 --> 00:28:18,388
Speaker 1: using the Jason Witten comparison. It didn't work in the booth,

601
00:28:18,388 --> 00:28:20,028
Speaker 1: and it didn't work when he did the return to

602
00:28:20,068 --> 00:28:21,788
Speaker 1: the football field. But I'd love to see him in

603
00:28:21,828 --> 00:28:23,308
Speaker 1: a role like John Lynch. I think he'd be a

604
00:28:23,348 --> 00:28:26,788
Speaker 1: great GM personally. Sure, Okay, well that's that's that's a

605
00:28:26,788 --> 00:28:29,428
Speaker 1: good line of work, and that's there's good money there.

606
00:28:29,508 --> 00:28:31,628
Speaker 1: And maybe Mickey Loomis can bring them in and they

607
00:28:31,628 --> 00:28:33,548
Speaker 1: can work together and the Saints can do it. But

608
00:28:33,668 --> 00:28:36,628
Speaker 1: to Kyle's point, I think a lot of times these

609
00:28:36,668 --> 00:28:39,668
Speaker 1: media executives get tantalized by the player on the field

610
00:28:39,668 --> 00:28:42,468
Speaker 1: and the soundbites and maybe some of the you know,

611
00:28:42,548 --> 00:28:45,028
Speaker 1: the raw raw stuff went Calling a game, you gotta

612
00:28:45,068 --> 00:28:47,588
Speaker 1: be critical sometimes, or you're in the booth, or you're

613
00:28:47,588 --> 00:28:49,668
Speaker 1: in a studio show and there's hey, ninety seconds, give

614
00:28:49,708 --> 00:28:52,308
Speaker 1: us your take on the first half, and your insight is, man,

615
00:28:52,388 --> 00:28:54,548
Speaker 1: Brady's really slinging it out there. That's not going to

616
00:28:54,628 --> 00:28:56,868
Speaker 1: do it. And it sounds very critical, but like we

617
00:28:56,948 --> 00:28:58,388
Speaker 1: do this for a living and there's a lot of

618
00:28:58,388 --> 00:29:00,468
Speaker 1: work that goes into it, and you put yourself out there.

619
00:29:00,588 --> 00:29:02,348
Speaker 1: Kyle just went on TV and say doesn't think Brady's

620
00:29:02,348 --> 00:29:04,908
Speaker 1: gonna be a great broadcaster. Guess what, that's his own

621
00:29:04,988 --> 00:29:06,668
Speaker 1: name on it. That's something that to say. And that's

622
00:29:06,708 --> 00:29:10,708
Speaker 1: what makes Kyle Kyle and Mike rob. You said, Kyler

623
00:29:10,748 --> 00:29:12,428
Speaker 1: Murray doesn't have one of the best arms in football.

624
00:29:12,428 --> 00:29:14,188
Speaker 1: Come on, get out of here. There's a risk in that.

625
00:29:14,428 --> 00:29:15,668
Speaker 1: There's a risk in that you might have to go

626
00:29:15,668 --> 00:29:17,548
Speaker 1: see Kyler Murray and he might be offended. And they

627
00:29:17,628 --> 00:29:21,908
Speaker 1: know there's courage and you're saying something breathing in't say anything.

628
00:29:22,428 --> 00:29:25,908
Speaker 1: Everyone was great, and like that's the line here. So

629
00:29:26,108 --> 00:29:28,628
Speaker 1: I think he's going to come back. No, But I

630
00:29:28,708 --> 00:29:32,068
Speaker 1: also think it's a cautionary tale for sports broadcasting that

631
00:29:32,268 --> 00:29:34,468
Speaker 1: you better put your name on it, and if you don't,

632
00:29:34,588 --> 00:29:36,388
Speaker 1: the viewers at some point and be like, well, what

633
00:29:36,428 --> 00:29:38,708
Speaker 1: are you really even saying. I love Drew Brees, think

634
00:29:38,708 --> 00:29:40,708
Speaker 1: he's great. I don't necessarily think he was the most

635
00:29:40,708 --> 00:29:42,948
Speaker 1: critical broadcaster. And I think for some people at home,

636
00:29:42,948 --> 00:29:45,428
Speaker 1: they're looking for Tony Romo to criticize that Cowboys. They're

637
00:29:45,428 --> 00:29:47,988
Speaker 1: looking for Troy Akwin to criticize the Cowboys, and those

638
00:29:47,988 --> 00:29:49,388
Speaker 1: guys do it and they get paid a lot of

639
00:29:49,388 --> 00:29:52,068
Speaker 1: money to do so, they're looking for realness. Our fans

640
00:29:52,068 --> 00:29:54,428
Speaker 1: are smarter than they've ever been. Our fans are more

641
00:29:54,628 --> 00:29:57,108
Speaker 1: entuned to the game, more than they've ever been in

642
00:29:57,228 --> 00:30:00,108
Speaker 1: any time that football has been around. So yeah, you

643
00:30:00,188 --> 00:30:02,028
Speaker 1: kind of gotta I call it. You gotta have the Jews,

644
00:30:02,108 --> 00:30:04,028
Speaker 1: You gotta actually have something to say. You just can't

645
00:30:04,068 --> 00:30:06,508
Speaker 1: be a guy who was on the field and did

646
00:30:06,548 --> 00:30:09,668
Speaker 1: his thing and can't actually do it on camera or

647
00:30:09,668 --> 00:30:13,028
Speaker 1: can't actually bring anything to a broadcast. So again, I

648
00:30:13,028 --> 00:30:16,348
Speaker 1: think this goes back to Drew Brees understanding how to

649
00:30:16,348 --> 00:30:19,788
Speaker 1: create leverage. He made an unbelievable amount of money when

650
00:30:19,828 --> 00:30:22,148
Speaker 1: he played in the National Football League. It was never

651
00:30:22,188 --> 00:30:24,308
Speaker 1: an issue whether Drew Brees was gonna get his money.

652
00:30:24,348 --> 00:30:26,788
Speaker 1: He got his money on the football field. Again, these

653
00:30:26,868 --> 00:30:30,548
Speaker 1: quarterbacks love to compete. Seeing with Tom Brady got from Fox.

654
00:30:30,588 --> 00:30:33,348
Speaker 1: I just think this is another opportunity for Drew Brees

655
00:30:33,428 --> 00:30:36,068
Speaker 1: to create that leverage. If he's a current player, that's

656
00:30:36,108 --> 00:30:39,028
Speaker 1: more leverage that he can create with these news executives.

657
00:30:39,428 --> 00:30:41,188
Speaker 1: And let me just say this, anytime there's something in

658
00:30:41,188 --> 00:30:43,948
Speaker 1: the news cycle where someone's gonna try the NFL, whether

659
00:30:43,948 --> 00:30:46,788
Speaker 1: it's you saying Bolt could he join the NFL, or

660
00:30:46,828 --> 00:30:50,068
Speaker 1: some basketball player or some wrestler, the NFL players lose

661
00:30:50,108 --> 00:30:52,708
Speaker 1: their minds. To a man, it is all you can't

662
00:30:52,708 --> 00:30:54,228
Speaker 1: just step in here and do this. This is this

663
00:30:54,268 --> 00:30:56,108
Speaker 1: is a man's game. You can't say I've been devoting

664
00:30:56,188 --> 00:30:58,348
Speaker 1: my whole life to this. And yet when one of

665
00:30:58,388 --> 00:31:00,428
Speaker 1: the NFL players says, well, i can just jump right

666
00:31:00,468 --> 00:31:03,028
Speaker 1: into media and I'll be incredible. Now you can't this.

667
00:31:03,268 --> 00:31:05,268
Speaker 1: This is the thing that we do. And now there's

668
00:31:05,268 --> 00:31:06,868
Speaker 1: some of you. Maybe you jump in here and you're

669
00:31:06,908 --> 00:31:08,948
Speaker 1: great and this is not as hard as football. But

670
00:31:08,988 --> 00:31:10,828
Speaker 1: don't think there aren't people in the media who aren't

671
00:31:10,828 --> 00:31:13,108
Speaker 1: seeing Tom Brady get how many millions of bucks for

672
00:31:13,228 --> 00:31:16,388
Speaker 1: something he's never done nor shown indications that he can do,

673
00:31:16,548 --> 00:31:18,388
Speaker 1: and aren't a little bit taken aback by it, just

674
00:31:18,428 --> 00:31:19,908
Speaker 1: like Tom Brady would be if some guy in the

675
00:31:19,908 --> 00:31:21,708
Speaker 1: media said I think I can play quarterback. Just this

676
00:31:21,748 --> 00:31:23,388
Speaker 1: a little bit of what's going on here. Guess what's

677
00:31:23,388 --> 00:31:26,028
Speaker 1: coming up next? In Good Morning Football, Russell Wilson, are

678
00:31:26,068 --> 00:31:43,068
Speaker 1: they gonna win the West? Right after this? Good football?

679
00:31:44,948 --> 00:31:47,588
Speaker 1: Take a look at what Russell Wilson posted of the weekend,

680
00:31:47,668 --> 00:31:51,348
Speaker 1: Just two legends breaking down practice film casually. You've got

681
00:31:51,348 --> 00:31:54,668
Speaker 1: Peyton Manning level expectations for this new Broncos team with

682
00:31:54,788 --> 00:31:58,588
Speaker 1: Russell the Helm just asked his schedule makers check us out.

683
00:31:58,628 --> 00:32:02,428
Speaker 1: The Broncos have five games in prime time that's tied

684
00:32:02,468 --> 00:32:05,188
Speaker 1: for most of the NFL, and in Week one, Russ

685
00:32:05,188 --> 00:32:08,988
Speaker 1: goes back to Seattle, a ridiculous Marky matchup to start

686
00:32:08,988 --> 00:32:11,148
Speaker 1: the season. And if that's not enough, Denver has two

687
00:32:11,148 --> 00:32:15,188
Speaker 1: more games Christmas and Week eight in Wimbley, where they

688
00:32:15,188 --> 00:32:18,628
Speaker 1: are the only game playing in that time slot. So, Peter,

689
00:32:19,148 --> 00:32:21,508
Speaker 1: what do you make of not only that showcase schedule

690
00:32:21,548 --> 00:32:24,868
Speaker 1: for Denver but the hype for the twenty twenty two Broncos.

691
00:32:25,708 --> 00:32:28,708
Speaker 1: I've been leading this bandwagon of sorts, and there's been

692
00:32:28,708 --> 00:32:31,268
Speaker 1: a lot of people kind of given me the wet

693
00:32:31,308 --> 00:32:33,708
Speaker 1: blanket and so bring me up and saying slowdown, now,

694
00:32:33,948 --> 00:32:35,908
Speaker 1: slowdown now. But I think Denver is going to be

695
00:32:35,948 --> 00:32:38,388
Speaker 1: a Super Bowl contender, like I really do. And I

696
00:32:38,468 --> 00:32:41,188
Speaker 1: have a proof of entry for that. And it's that

697
00:32:41,348 --> 00:32:43,988
Speaker 1: last year the Rams needed that extra guy and it

698
00:32:44,028 --> 00:32:46,788
Speaker 1: was Matthew Stafford and then got him. Over two years ago.

699
00:32:46,788 --> 00:32:49,588
Speaker 1: The Buccaneers had a great young roster. They add Tom

700
00:32:49,668 --> 00:32:53,588
Speaker 1: Brady and they get there. Like Denver's got an amazing roster.

701
00:32:53,788 --> 00:32:57,468
Speaker 1: The only thing that was missing was the quarterback. They've

702
00:32:57,628 --> 00:33:01,108
Speaker 1: added depth at every position. They've added all pros like

703
00:33:01,228 --> 00:33:05,228
Speaker 1: Justin Simmons. They have talent all over the field, and

704
00:33:05,308 --> 00:33:08,788
Speaker 1: I think some of that talent Patrick Certan to name

705
00:33:08,868 --> 00:33:12,748
Speaker 1: one I think is Javonte Willamson is rising and rising

706
00:33:12,748 --> 00:33:14,908
Speaker 1: and rising, and now you're plucking one of the best

707
00:33:14,988 --> 00:33:17,628
Speaker 1: quarterbacks in NFL history. I'll put him in there. I

708
00:33:17,628 --> 00:33:20,268
Speaker 1: think he's a top twenty quarterback in NFL history. And

709
00:33:20,308 --> 00:33:22,868
Speaker 1: you're giving him motivation and you're telling him that he's

710
00:33:22,868 --> 00:33:25,668
Speaker 1: going to join one of the best young rosters with

711
00:33:25,708 --> 00:33:28,468
Speaker 1: one of the best fan bases and one of the

712
00:33:28,508 --> 00:33:33,628
Speaker 1: best environments in that mile high home field. Gosh, the

713
00:33:33,748 --> 00:33:39,508
Speaker 1: NFL gave the Broncos seven different window games where it's

714
00:33:39,508 --> 00:33:41,548
Speaker 1: just them in the window, and they gave them five

715
00:33:41,668 --> 00:33:44,668
Speaker 1: different primetime games. It's not by accident. It's to Russell

716
00:33:44,668 --> 00:33:47,508
Speaker 1: Wilson factor. I think they've been a quarterback away, and

717
00:33:47,548 --> 00:33:49,588
Speaker 1: I thought the Rams were a quarterback away last year

718
00:33:49,868 --> 00:33:51,508
Speaker 1: before the season started. To put the Rams to win

719
00:33:51,508 --> 00:33:53,388
Speaker 1: the Super Bowl on the fact that they've got one

720
00:33:53,388 --> 00:33:54,988
Speaker 1: of the best rosters in football. They're just missing a

721
00:33:55,068 --> 00:33:57,428
Speaker 1: quarterback in Matthew Stafford is a giant upgrade. If you're

722
00:33:57,428 --> 00:34:00,108
Speaker 1: not telling me Russell Wilson is not a giant upgrade

723
00:34:00,228 --> 00:34:02,548
Speaker 1: from Drew Locke. You haven't been watching football the last

724
00:34:02,548 --> 00:34:04,788
Speaker 1: few years. I think it's worthy, and I think that

725
00:34:04,828 --> 00:34:07,388
Speaker 1: the Broncos are going to be a team to be

726
00:34:07,428 --> 00:34:10,148
Speaker 1: reckoned with this year. They might tear up the NFL

727
00:34:10,468 --> 00:34:12,788
Speaker 1: and be like thirteen and four. We'll be like what, No,

728
00:34:12,988 --> 00:34:14,988
Speaker 1: don't be surprised. Russell Wilson just joined one of the

729
00:34:15,028 --> 00:34:17,348
Speaker 1: best rosters in all of football. They might. Peter, You're

730
00:34:17,388 --> 00:34:20,188
Speaker 1: absolutely right, and my favorite Good Morning Football segment of

731
00:34:20,228 --> 00:34:23,508
Speaker 1: the entire year every year is in September before kickoff

732
00:34:23,548 --> 00:34:26,188
Speaker 1: when we as a show pick our division winners and

733
00:34:26,228 --> 00:34:28,908
Speaker 1: our Super Bowl champion. This year, when we have to

734
00:34:28,908 --> 00:34:30,988
Speaker 1: pick the division winner of the AFC West, it's going

735
00:34:31,068 --> 00:34:33,308
Speaker 1: to be riveting because the winner is one thing. Guys,

736
00:34:33,508 --> 00:34:35,308
Speaker 1: but this is a fact. One of these four teams

737
00:34:35,308 --> 00:34:37,308
Speaker 1: is going to finish in last place. One of these

738
00:34:37,308 --> 00:34:39,668
Speaker 1: four teams likely is going to finish seven and ten.

739
00:34:39,788 --> 00:34:41,748
Speaker 1: Not as a prediction right now in May, but just

740
00:34:41,788 --> 00:34:44,388
Speaker 1: as an exercise. If you were compelled to pick one

741
00:34:44,428 --> 00:34:46,348
Speaker 1: team out of these four right now to finish in

742
00:34:46,468 --> 00:34:48,708
Speaker 1: fourth out of the West, who are you picking. I'll

743
00:34:48,708 --> 00:34:50,468
Speaker 1: just walk you through this. I'm gonna put the Chiefs

744
00:34:50,468 --> 00:34:52,588
Speaker 1: out of that conversation out of respect. I'm also going

745
00:34:52,628 --> 00:34:54,508
Speaker 1: to put the Raiders out, who were in the playoffs

746
00:34:54,628 --> 00:34:56,908
Speaker 1: last year with an interim coach and crazy stuff off

747
00:34:56,908 --> 00:34:58,948
Speaker 1: the field and got way better on the field. I

748
00:34:58,988 --> 00:35:01,548
Speaker 1: think right now, optics wise, it's between the Chargers and

749
00:35:01,588 --> 00:35:04,188
Speaker 1: the Broncos, and I think the gravity is leading towards

750
00:35:04,228 --> 00:35:07,148
Speaker 1: the Bronchos. A new head coach that we've never seen before,

751
00:35:07,308 --> 00:35:10,388
Speaker 1: a new quarterback. While great, we don't know how it's

752
00:35:10,388 --> 00:35:12,708
Speaker 1: going to fit. I'm not as seduced by all their

753
00:35:12,748 --> 00:35:15,348
Speaker 1: weapons as everybody else's. One of them was just arrested.

754
00:35:15,708 --> 00:35:18,548
Speaker 1: They're all great on paper. One of them will finish

755
00:35:18,548 --> 00:35:21,148
Speaker 1: in last place. So all this hype about we're gonna

756
00:35:21,188 --> 00:35:23,388
Speaker 1: do this and do that, you know, Peter, as much

757
00:35:23,428 --> 00:35:25,348
Speaker 1: as I respect what Brady did going to Tampa and

758
00:35:25,348 --> 00:35:27,548
Speaker 1: what Stafford did going to the Rams, they did not

759
00:35:27,668 --> 00:35:32,308
Speaker 1: land in a division with Mahomes and her birds and

760
00:35:32,468 --> 00:35:34,988
Speaker 1: what the Raiders have going if the context is much

761
00:35:35,108 --> 00:35:37,828
Speaker 1: much different when you're slapping around the Panthers in the

762
00:35:37,908 --> 00:35:40,268
Speaker 1: NFC South or whoever the hell in the West in

763
00:35:40,348 --> 00:35:42,388
Speaker 1: a year that West wasn't as good as it always is.

764
00:35:42,468 --> 00:35:44,908
Speaker 1: So I think that Broncos really have their work cut

765
00:35:44,908 --> 00:35:46,388
Speaker 1: out for us. I don't think you just bring in

766
00:35:46,428 --> 00:35:49,508
Speaker 1: Russell and say we're back. That division is a mother

767
00:35:49,828 --> 00:35:51,548
Speaker 1: and they're gonna have to win a lot of games

768
00:35:51,548 --> 00:35:54,188
Speaker 1: in it, and the Scheduleoustuf Denver right now and may

769
00:35:54,668 --> 00:35:56,788
Speaker 1: bought a lot of work to do. Yeah, they do

770
00:35:56,908 --> 00:35:58,708
Speaker 1: have a lot of work to do. But I'm gonna

771
00:35:58,748 --> 00:36:01,628
Speaker 1: say the hype is real. You can't inject a guy

772
00:36:01,828 --> 00:36:04,028
Speaker 1: or a talent like Russell Wilson into your offense and

773
00:36:04,148 --> 00:36:06,468
Speaker 1: not think that there won't be a little bit of hype.

774
00:36:06,468 --> 00:36:09,308
Speaker 1: I mean, the guys the best deep ball passer of

775
00:36:09,348 --> 00:36:12,188
Speaker 1: the football that in our game right now, so and

776
00:36:12,228 --> 00:36:14,748
Speaker 1: to me that there's no question in that. But to

777
00:36:14,868 --> 00:36:17,388
Speaker 1: Peter's point, you talk about those starting quarterbacks, all the

778
00:36:17,388 --> 00:36:19,788
Speaker 1: different starting quarterbacks since Peyton Manning, I think that's a

779
00:36:19,788 --> 00:36:23,828
Speaker 1: little bit more indicative of how bad John Elway is

780
00:36:23,988 --> 00:36:29,228
Speaker 1: at picking quarterbacks, and talk about it they developing young quarterbacks.

781
00:36:29,468 --> 00:36:32,308
Speaker 1: To me, Russell coming to this offense is a big move.

782
00:36:32,428 --> 00:36:34,468
Speaker 1: But I do think this offense and this team is

783
00:36:34,508 --> 00:36:38,188
Speaker 1: going to have to adjust playing with Russell meaning Russell Wilson. Again,

784
00:36:38,188 --> 00:36:40,108
Speaker 1: I talked about it early in the show. Twenty percent

785
00:36:40,148 --> 00:36:43,068
Speaker 1: of his passes with the Seattle seats, so almost twenty

786
00:36:43,068 --> 00:36:46,228
Speaker 1: percent of his passes were explosive in nature, meaning they

787
00:36:46,268 --> 00:36:49,508
Speaker 1: went over twenty yards twenty air yards down the football field.

788
00:36:49,668 --> 00:36:52,108
Speaker 1: You look at the Denver Broncos offense, they finished twenty

789
00:36:52,108 --> 00:36:55,468
Speaker 1: six in explosive passes and explosive plays last year. So

790
00:36:55,508 --> 00:36:58,708
Speaker 1: they definitely need Russell Wilson and that explosion in this

791
00:36:58,788 --> 00:37:00,628
Speaker 1: offense because it gives it more room for that for

792
00:37:00,668 --> 00:37:04,108
Speaker 1: that running game, but the explosion comes from and the guys.

793
00:37:04,108 --> 00:37:05,628
Speaker 1: I want. I want to put up the final six

794
00:37:05,708 --> 00:37:09,548
Speaker 1: games for Russell Wilson and the Denver Broncos this year,

795
00:37:09,548 --> 00:37:12,468
Speaker 1: but I think that's when that's when this season is

796
00:37:12,508 --> 00:37:14,788
Speaker 1: gonna be defined. You look at these last six games,

797
00:37:15,828 --> 00:37:18,468
Speaker 1: the Baltimore Ravens at Baltimore, that's not gonna be an

798
00:37:18,468 --> 00:37:21,828
Speaker 1: easy game. This defense is revamped. Lamar Jackson's you know,

799
00:37:21,908 --> 00:37:23,468
Speaker 1: and you know he's trying to get a new contract,

800
00:37:23,468 --> 00:37:24,908
Speaker 1: he's trying to win the Super Bowl. Those things. You

801
00:37:24,948 --> 00:37:28,108
Speaker 1: have Kansas City twice. You got Kyler Murray, who some

802
00:37:28,148 --> 00:37:30,268
Speaker 1: people think I don't think, but some people think he

803
00:37:30,308 --> 00:37:32,748
Speaker 1: has one of the top arm talents in the NFL.

804
00:37:32,828 --> 00:37:34,708
Speaker 1: That's a whole another conversation, but would talk about it

805
00:37:34,708 --> 00:37:37,708
Speaker 1: a little bit later. You got the Rams there Aaron

806
00:37:37,788 --> 00:37:40,228
Speaker 1: Donald knows how to play against Russell Wilson. And then

807
00:37:40,268 --> 00:37:42,788
Speaker 1: you got the Chargers who has one of the you know,

808
00:37:42,828 --> 00:37:45,348
Speaker 1: one of the top young quarterbacks in Justin Herbert coming up.

809
00:37:45,788 --> 00:37:49,188
Speaker 1: This is a brutal division for the Denver Broncos. This

810
00:37:49,308 --> 00:37:52,828
Speaker 1: is a brutal division for Russell Wilson. But again, if

811
00:37:52,868 --> 00:37:55,348
Speaker 1: they can get him in the structure of Nathaniel Hackett

812
00:37:55,348 --> 00:37:57,828
Speaker 1: can help Russell play within the structure. I thought he

813
00:37:57,868 --> 00:38:00,628
Speaker 1: did a great job with Aaron Rodgers helping Aaron Rodgers

814
00:38:00,668 --> 00:38:04,188
Speaker 1: play within the structure. That way, Russell Wilson in critical

815
00:38:04,228 --> 00:38:07,508
Speaker 1: moments can use that Russell Wilson magic, that Russell Wilson

816
00:38:07,548 --> 00:38:10,628
Speaker 1: and Baden pressure, that Russell Wilson extended drops, then he

817
00:38:10,668 --> 00:38:13,988
Speaker 1: can use that in those special moments. But if Russell

818
00:38:14,028 --> 00:38:17,348
Speaker 1: can't play in the structure, if Jerry Judy and all

819
00:38:17,388 --> 00:38:20,668
Speaker 1: those wide receivers on the outside can't get used to Russell,

820
00:38:20,988 --> 00:38:23,548
Speaker 1: when he sees you open after five step drop, the

821
00:38:23,548 --> 00:38:26,148
Speaker 1: ball probably ain't gonna come out. The ball's gonna come

822
00:38:26,148 --> 00:38:28,828
Speaker 1: out on the extended drop when Russell starts to run around.

823
00:38:29,028 --> 00:38:30,948
Speaker 1: If gods can get used to that, I think this

824
00:38:30,988 --> 00:38:33,428
Speaker 1: team would be very dangerous. But it does take some

825
00:38:33,548 --> 00:38:36,268
Speaker 1: getting used to. Hell, we had to practice these periods

826
00:38:36,268 --> 00:38:39,348
Speaker 1: with Russell before we became an explosive offense early in

827
00:38:39,388 --> 00:38:41,268
Speaker 1: his career. MicroB I look at it. It It is a

828
00:38:41,268 --> 00:38:43,588
Speaker 1: brutal division, but you've got a dangerous russ. Remember it

829
00:38:43,628 --> 00:38:45,868
Speaker 1: was two seasons ago he threw for forty touchdowns he's

830
00:38:45,868 --> 00:38:49,788
Speaker 1: been nine winning seasons, eight playoff appearances, and of course

831
00:38:49,828 --> 00:38:51,948
Speaker 1: the hype is real thinking the quarterbacks they've had come

832
00:38:51,948 --> 00:38:55,108
Speaker 1: through there when I was there was Jake Plummer, Jay Cutler,

833
00:38:55,628 --> 00:38:58,628
Speaker 1: Tim Tebow, So of course that fan base has excited

834
00:38:58,668 --> 00:39:00,908
Speaker 1: their heights. And I love that we had that video

835
00:39:00,948 --> 00:39:03,668
Speaker 1: of Manning and Russell Wilson going over game tape because

836
00:39:03,708 --> 00:39:06,468
Speaker 1: I think that they're approach the game, their philosophy is

837
00:39:06,588 --> 00:39:08,628
Speaker 1: very similar, and I think they're the type of guys

838
00:39:08,668 --> 00:39:11,388
Speaker 1: that energize those around them. And I think him coming

839
00:39:11,428 --> 00:39:14,068
Speaker 1: to a new team feeling valued for length. They literally

840
00:39:14,068 --> 00:39:16,588
Speaker 1: traded their kitchen sink to get him there, I think

841
00:39:16,628 --> 00:39:18,548
Speaker 1: does a lot for a guy like Russell Wilson. I

842
00:39:18,548 --> 00:39:20,548
Speaker 1: think it had just gotten stagnant form in Seattle for

843
00:39:20,588 --> 00:39:22,708
Speaker 1: that matter. But I think also when you look at

844
00:39:22,708 --> 00:39:25,188
Speaker 1: this defense, are they going to be as good as

845
00:39:25,228 --> 00:39:27,068
Speaker 1: that defense that he hadn't Seattle when they win the

846
00:39:27,068 --> 00:39:29,508
Speaker 1: Super Bowl? It absolutely has the potential to be. I

847
00:39:29,548 --> 00:39:31,428
Speaker 1: think my only big question marks I think it can

848
00:39:31,468 --> 00:39:33,748
Speaker 1: be a little challenging for first year head coaches, So

849
00:39:33,788 --> 00:39:35,828
Speaker 1: that's my big TVT But I don't have any questions

850
00:39:35,868 --> 00:39:38,148
Speaker 1: about Russell Wilson how dangerous he can be in Denver

851
00:39:38,268 --> 00:39:40,628
Speaker 1: that if you watch the show enough, you know that

852
00:39:40,708 --> 00:39:42,628
Speaker 1: typically we like to end the program in the final

853
00:39:42,668 --> 00:39:45,508
Speaker 1: segment with something fun or a reverence, and we cannot

854
00:39:45,548 --> 00:39:47,228
Speaker 1: do that today. And we would not do that because

855
00:39:47,228 --> 00:39:49,108
Speaker 1: our minds, all four of us and all of us

856
00:39:49,148 --> 00:39:51,628
Speaker 1: who work on the show, are on the people of Buffalo,

857
00:39:51,668 --> 00:39:54,028
Speaker 1: New York, and all of Western New York, specifically in

858
00:39:54,068 --> 00:39:58,148
Speaker 1: regards to the ten lives that were lost in a

859
00:39:58,148 --> 00:40:01,588
Speaker 1: pathetic and cowardly act of violence in that area that

860
00:40:01,588 --> 00:40:03,948
Speaker 1: you've all seen and read about through our lens of football.

861
00:40:04,028 --> 00:40:06,428
Speaker 1: Right now, there is so much positivity and so much

862
00:40:06,468 --> 00:40:09,508
Speaker 1: excitement about the Buffalo Bills and the buzz that's going

863
00:40:09,548 --> 00:40:11,228
Speaker 1: on in that area, and then you wake up this

864
00:40:11,268 --> 00:40:15,868
Speaker 1: morning to read the phrase racially motivated violent extremism, which

865
00:40:15,908 --> 00:40:17,628
Speaker 1: is about the worst phrase I have ever heard in

866
00:40:17,668 --> 00:40:19,868
Speaker 1: my life. As you know this show, there are thirty

867
00:40:19,868 --> 00:40:22,508
Speaker 1: two fan bases, and in our love of football, we

868
00:40:22,628 --> 00:40:25,228
Speaker 1: think of them all as family members. And there is

869
00:40:25,348 --> 00:40:27,748
Speaker 1: none that we love more than all of the people

870
00:40:27,788 --> 00:40:30,068
Speaker 1: who are Bills fans and all of Western New York.

871
00:40:30,148 --> 00:40:31,948
Speaker 1: So I want you guys to know that all of us.

872
00:40:32,108 --> 00:40:34,228
Speaker 1: We are thinking about you, we are talking about you

873
00:40:34,308 --> 00:40:37,708
Speaker 1: during commercial breaks, and we are so so sorry that

874
00:40:37,748 --> 00:40:41,668
Speaker 1: this happened. We can only offer our woefully insufficient reprieve

875
00:40:41,828 --> 00:40:43,988
Speaker 1: in the form of bills talk in the form of

876
00:40:44,028 --> 00:40:46,668
Speaker 1: Peter saying Josh Allen as the strongest arm in all

877
00:40:46,668 --> 00:40:49,148
Speaker 1: of the league and hopefully can provide even a tiny

878
00:40:49,188 --> 00:40:51,548
Speaker 1: little amount of distraction from what you are going through.

879
00:40:51,708 --> 00:40:53,748
Speaker 1: We just feel so so sorry, and we are thinking

880
00:40:53,788 --> 00:40:56,148
Speaker 1: about you as we always are, and we hope you

881
00:40:56,148 --> 00:40:58,748
Speaker 1: can get through this. Mike Well said Kyle. You know

882
00:40:58,828 --> 00:41:02,588
Speaker 1: cannot express my feelings any stronger than which you just

883
00:41:02,668 --> 00:41:05,348
Speaker 1: say it. It's a sad day, not just from the

884
00:41:05,348 --> 00:41:08,868
Speaker 1: football world, but for all Americans. I was taken back

885
00:41:08,908 --> 00:41:10,668
Speaker 1: by this, guys, and I'm not gonna take two. I'm

886
00:41:10,668 --> 00:41:11,828
Speaker 1: not gonna take a lot of time, but I was

887
00:41:11,868 --> 00:41:14,948
Speaker 1: taken back by this, especially since I've been inundated with

888
00:41:14,948 --> 00:41:16,348
Speaker 1: a lot of tweets and a lot of people from

889
00:41:16,348 --> 00:41:18,908
Speaker 1: Buffalo just you know, they just expressing their sorrow for

890
00:41:18,988 --> 00:41:22,548
Speaker 1: what went down. I will say this, especially for communities

891
00:41:22,548 --> 00:41:25,628
Speaker 1: that look like myself, black communities. I know we're pissed

892
00:41:25,668 --> 00:41:29,948
Speaker 1: off right now. Upset. I would implore that you that

893
00:41:30,628 --> 00:41:33,188
Speaker 1: we don't act out of emotion. I would implore that

894
00:41:33,228 --> 00:41:36,748
Speaker 1: we process information, process what's happened, get along, you know,

895
00:41:36,788 --> 00:41:39,908
Speaker 1: get around community members, and just have a conversation. Because

896
00:41:39,948 --> 00:41:41,628
Speaker 1: at the end of the day, guys, we are a

897
00:41:41,628 --> 00:41:44,828
Speaker 1: lot more alike than we are different. I cannot express

898
00:41:44,868 --> 00:41:48,428
Speaker 1: that anymore. But one thing I can't leave this screen

899
00:41:48,468 --> 00:41:52,188
Speaker 1: without saying. To see that an armed person went into

900
00:41:52,188 --> 00:41:55,428
Speaker 1: a community and was able to take lives like that,

901
00:41:55,788 --> 00:42:00,388
Speaker 1: and the police unarmed him and got him locked up

902
00:42:00,388 --> 00:42:03,268
Speaker 1: and got him in custody without losing another life. I

903
00:42:03,308 --> 00:42:05,188
Speaker 1: thought it was big by the least, but it also

904
00:42:05,228 --> 00:42:09,548
Speaker 1: showed that this can happen. Our lawmakers are you know,

905
00:42:09,628 --> 00:42:12,588
Speaker 1: our law enforcement officials. They understand how to do this,

906
00:42:12,708 --> 00:42:15,588
Speaker 1: and so as we process this, just understand more love

907
00:42:15,828 --> 00:42:19,028
Speaker 1: can you overcome? I know hate is polarizing, but just

908
00:42:19,028 --> 00:42:21,348
Speaker 1: just hang on to that love, guys, and we'll be

909
00:42:21,348 --> 00:42:25,388
Speaker 1: better for it. I know there's there's so many folks

910
00:42:25,428 --> 00:42:27,828
Speaker 1: morning this morning, at so many names that were lost.

911
00:42:27,948 --> 00:42:29,228
Speaker 1: I would just like to say that if you're trying

912
00:42:29,228 --> 00:42:31,388
Speaker 1: to put a face to this. One of the victims

913
00:42:31,388 --> 00:42:33,748
Speaker 1: was a woman named Pearley Young, who is seventy seven

914
00:42:33,828 --> 00:42:36,388
Speaker 1: years old. She was killed in a shooting yesterday in

915
00:42:36,388 --> 00:42:39,068
Speaker 1: the grocery store. And she's a mother, a grandma missionary,

916
00:42:39,108 --> 00:42:42,108
