00:00:04,428 --> 00:00:06,668
Speaker 1: Good Morning Football is the production of the NFL in

2
00:00:06,748 --> 00:00:21,988
Speaker 1: partnership with iHeartRadio.

3
00:00:22,348 --> 00:00:23,148
Speaker 2: Good morning.

4
00:00:24,708 --> 00:00:28,188
Speaker 3: All right, hey, welcome to Good Morning Football. We're live

5
00:00:28,228 --> 00:00:30,068
Speaker 3: here in New York City. Happy to be here on

6
00:00:30,068 --> 00:00:33,588
Speaker 3: a Tuesday, May sixteenth. I'm Jamie Earl, Kyle Brand, Shan O'Hara,

7
00:00:33,908 --> 00:00:34,868
Speaker 3: Peter Schrager.

8
00:00:35,348 --> 00:00:37,868
Speaker 4: All right, let's time for the lead block. It for

9
00:00:37,908 --> 00:00:38,548
Speaker 4: the lead block.

10
00:00:38,628 --> 00:00:43,548
Speaker 3: Here we go in Los Angeles Chargers. Here's that combo

11
00:00:43,628 --> 00:00:46,228
Speaker 3: you ordered. It's Justin Herbert throwing to the twenty first

12
00:00:46,268 --> 00:00:47,068
Speaker 3: overall pick.

13
00:00:46,868 --> 00:00:47,668
Speaker 4: Out of TCU.

14
00:00:47,988 --> 00:00:51,508
Speaker 3: The big man, the big wide receiver, long legs, fast,

15
00:00:51,588 --> 00:00:55,068
Speaker 3: big guy, Quentin Johnson, Quentin Johnston. You'll get to watch

16
00:00:55,108 --> 00:00:57,468
Speaker 3: that pair play six times in primetime this season. That

17
00:00:57,548 --> 00:00:59,988
Speaker 3: is the same amount as a Super Bowl champion Kansas

18
00:01:00,028 --> 00:01:03,068
Speaker 3: City Chiefs. Year after year we talk about who is

19
00:01:03,108 --> 00:01:04,788
Speaker 3: going to step up and take a run the Chiefs.

20
00:01:04,828 --> 00:01:05,468
Speaker 4: Who could have been?

21
00:01:05,908 --> 00:01:07,948
Speaker 3: We've had this discussion before, and frankly, we tried to

22
00:01:07,948 --> 00:01:09,228
Speaker 3: have it again last night, and I.

23
00:01:09,148 --> 00:01:10,508
Speaker 4: Think we all came.

24
00:01:10,308 --> 00:01:12,068
Speaker 3: To the conclusion at the table, if it will be

25
00:01:12,108 --> 00:01:16,108
Speaker 3: anybody in that division, we think it might be the Chargers.

26
00:01:16,468 --> 00:01:19,348
Speaker 3: Chargers overtake the Chiefs this year. Why could that be

27
00:01:19,468 --> 00:01:21,668
Speaker 3: the case? In the AFC West, Peter think it might.

28
00:01:21,588 --> 00:01:21,988
Speaker 5: Be the year.

29
00:01:22,068 --> 00:01:25,228
Speaker 6: Honestly, I've always picked the Chiefs since my home's gotten

30
00:01:25,268 --> 00:01:27,908
Speaker 6: the league. I've successfully picked the Chiefs to win the

31
00:01:27,948 --> 00:01:31,268
Speaker 6: AFC crown and the last few years and obviously not

32
00:01:31,308 --> 00:01:32,148
Speaker 6: the Cincinnati year.

33
00:01:32,148 --> 00:01:33,788
Speaker 5: And I never had a doubt in my mind.

34
00:01:33,788 --> 00:01:36,108
Speaker 6: This is the first year where I'm looking at Justin

35
00:01:36,148 --> 00:01:39,068
Speaker 6: Herbert going into this part of his career with the

36
00:01:39,068 --> 00:01:40,828
Speaker 6: weapons that he has, and thinking this might be the

37
00:01:40,908 --> 00:01:42,908
Speaker 6: year they get over the hump. And I hate saying,

38
00:01:42,988 --> 00:01:45,468
Speaker 6: Mike without being so definitive as saying this is the year,

39
00:01:45,948 --> 00:01:46,708
Speaker 6: because we could.

40
00:01:46,588 --> 00:01:48,108
Speaker 5: Have done this so many times before.

41
00:01:48,148 --> 00:01:50,308
Speaker 6: But I look at the addition of Quintin Johnson, I

42
00:01:50,348 --> 00:01:52,308
Speaker 6: look at all the weapons that Justin Herbert now has.

43
00:01:52,348 --> 00:01:54,628
Speaker 6: He's got an NBA basketball team at wide receiver, and

44
00:01:54,628 --> 00:01:58,028
Speaker 6: you're talking about different sizes and different types of players

45
00:01:58,028 --> 00:01:59,668
Speaker 6: that he can get the ball to. Mike Williams is

46
00:01:59,708 --> 00:02:02,508
Speaker 6: still on that team at his big six foot six height,

47
00:02:02,588 --> 00:02:05,308
Speaker 6: you still have Keenan Allen he does underneath, and then

48
00:02:05,348 --> 00:02:07,348
Speaker 6: you've got now Gerald.

49
00:02:06,988 --> 00:02:07,908
Speaker 5: Everett, big guy.

50
00:02:08,188 --> 00:02:11,148
Speaker 6: You've got this guy, Quintin Johnson, six foot three, Palmer

51
00:02:11,228 --> 00:02:14,068
Speaker 6: six foot one. Look at those heights and Herbert is

52
00:02:14,108 --> 00:02:15,268
Speaker 6: six foot six himself.

53
00:02:15,428 --> 00:02:17,148
Speaker 5: They're playing at a different.

54
00:02:17,028 --> 00:02:19,868
Speaker 6: Different size as above the rings are they are above

55
00:02:19,908 --> 00:02:20,268
Speaker 6: the rim.

56
00:02:20,468 --> 00:02:21,868
Speaker 5: And I think when you've got a guy like Herbert,

57
00:02:21,908 --> 00:02:22,228
Speaker 5: you give.

58
00:02:22,188 --> 00:02:24,188
Speaker 6: Him the talent like that at those heights, he can

59
00:02:24,188 --> 00:02:26,828
Speaker 6: get them the ball. There's this feeling that, you know,

60
00:02:27,028 --> 00:02:30,548
Speaker 6: the Chargers just, you know, completely, just drop the ball

61
00:02:30,628 --> 00:02:31,908
Speaker 6: anytime they've had a big spot.

62
00:02:31,948 --> 00:02:33,948
Speaker 5: They did. They lost twenty seven to nothing after they

63
00:02:33,948 --> 00:02:35,508
Speaker 5: were up twenty seven to nothing. They gave up that

64
00:02:35,548 --> 00:02:37,948
Speaker 5: playoff lead. And it's still unbelievable to me. But I

65
00:02:38,028 --> 00:02:40,228
Speaker 5: go back to those two games against the Chiefs last year.

66
00:02:40,388 --> 00:02:41,548
Speaker 5: Herbert played really well.

67
00:02:41,628 --> 00:02:44,068
Speaker 6: He played really well and played valiantly early on in

68
00:02:44,068 --> 00:02:46,468
Speaker 6: the season after getting that injury and staying in the

69
00:02:46,508 --> 00:02:48,988
Speaker 6: game against the Chiefs on a Thursday night in Week two,

70
00:02:49,028 --> 00:02:50,788
Speaker 6: the first Amazon game we ever had.

71
00:02:51,348 --> 00:02:53,428
Speaker 5: This is the play that he wishes he could have back.

72
00:02:53,868 --> 00:02:55,908
Speaker 5: It's Herbert and then it's Jalen Warre and the.

73
00:02:55,948 --> 00:02:59,108
Speaker 6: Rookie going ninety nine yards on a pick six.

74
00:02:59,148 --> 00:03:01,028
Speaker 5: And that was the game in Week two.

75
00:03:01,428 --> 00:03:04,228
Speaker 6: Okay, Well, what about you fast forward later in the season,

76
00:03:04,428 --> 00:03:07,348
Speaker 6: they host the Chiefs on a Sunday night game and

77
00:03:07,388 --> 00:03:10,708
Speaker 6: it's week eleven and Mahomes is just majestic with less

78
00:03:10,708 --> 00:03:13,988
Speaker 6: than a minute left, finds Kelsey about thirty different times

79
00:03:14,148 --> 00:03:15,228
Speaker 6: and they move down the field.

80
00:03:15,388 --> 00:03:16,428
Speaker 5: Nothing Herbert can do.

81
00:03:16,428 --> 00:03:18,988
Speaker 6: In this situation that Mahomes is able to go eighty

82
00:03:19,068 --> 00:03:21,948
Speaker 6: yards in under a minute and they can't stop Kelsey.

83
00:03:21,988 --> 00:03:27,108
Speaker 6: So Herbert doing his job the defense. Of course, we

84
00:03:27,188 --> 00:03:31,548
Speaker 6: love the visual Derwin James flipping over Travis Kelcey, but

85
00:03:31,708 --> 00:03:34,108
Speaker 6: time and time again, Travis kelce has flipped over the

86
00:03:34,188 --> 00:03:35,388
Speaker 6: Chargers in a big spot.

87
00:03:35,628 --> 00:03:38,028
Speaker 5: To get over the hump, they need to get one

88
00:03:38,028 --> 00:03:38,908
Speaker 5: of those big wins.

89
00:03:38,988 --> 00:03:40,468
Speaker 6: We thought we had it a couple of years back

90
00:03:40,468 --> 00:03:42,668
Speaker 6: with Philip Rivers winning an Arrowhead and it was like, look,

91
00:03:42,708 --> 00:03:43,628
Speaker 6: they slayed the dragon.

92
00:03:43,948 --> 00:03:45,388
Speaker 5: Chiefs went on the win as Liverer Bowl.

93
00:03:45,788 --> 00:03:49,028
Speaker 6: This time, I feel like the Chiefs are not as

94
00:03:49,068 --> 00:03:51,588
Speaker 6: big of a gap right now from the Chargers, and

95
00:03:51,628 --> 00:03:54,388
Speaker 6: the Chargers have closed that gap this offseason, and I

96
00:03:54,468 --> 00:03:58,548
Speaker 6: believe Herbert going into year four like all right, it's time,

97
00:03:58,748 --> 00:04:00,468
Speaker 6: it is time, and I feel like this is different

98
00:04:00,508 --> 00:04:01,228
Speaker 6: than years past.

99
00:04:01,428 --> 00:04:03,068
Speaker 2: It's fun to talk about, isn't that It is.

100
00:04:03,108 --> 00:04:05,548
Speaker 5: He's awesome. It's exciting. I love watching him.

101
00:04:05,668 --> 00:04:06,388
Speaker 2: Dangerous too.

102
00:04:06,508 --> 00:04:07,948
Speaker 1: I know it's the elephant in the room.

103
00:04:07,988 --> 00:04:09,228
Speaker 2: And I'm sitting here, I'm listening to you.

104
00:04:09,228 --> 00:04:11,828
Speaker 1: We all kind of I'm just like, chill the bleepout,

105
00:04:11,948 --> 00:04:14,508
Speaker 1: chill out, all right, because Peter's sitting here telling me, Okay,

106
00:04:15,148 --> 00:04:18,268
Speaker 1: they got a basketball team, the Chiefs of Jordan.

107
00:04:18,628 --> 00:04:19,148
Speaker 5: You know that.

108
00:04:19,828 --> 00:04:22,108
Speaker 1: I just rewatched the last dance. I watched all ten

109
00:04:22,148 --> 00:04:24,668
Speaker 1: parts over the last couple of weeks. There's this fascinating

110
00:04:24,668 --> 00:04:27,188
Speaker 1: thing I think applies to this where the last playoff

111
00:04:27,228 --> 00:04:29,948
Speaker 1: series the Bulls won before the last championship, it was

112
00:04:29,948 --> 00:04:31,908
Speaker 1: against the Pacers and it was one of the only

113
00:04:31,948 --> 00:04:34,068
Speaker 1: teams that took the Jordan Bulls the seven games. And

114
00:04:34,068 --> 00:04:35,988
Speaker 1: it was a terrifying series as a Bulls because the

115
00:04:36,028 --> 00:04:39,108
Speaker 1: Pacers were really good. And Reggie sits there and the

116
00:04:39,148 --> 00:04:41,468
Speaker 1: documentary says, I still believe to this day we had

117
00:04:41,468 --> 00:04:43,388
Speaker 1: the better team. I really do. I think we had

118
00:04:43,428 --> 00:04:46,428
Speaker 1: the better team. And they had a loaded team. And

119
00:04:46,468 --> 00:04:48,428
Speaker 1: it was Larry Bird was the coach, and it's Reggie,

120
00:04:48,428 --> 00:04:51,188
Speaker 1: and it's Mark Jackson, and it's Rick Smith's and it's

121
00:04:51,268 --> 00:04:54,468
Speaker 1: Jalen Rose and it's the Davis brothers. They probably had

122
00:04:54,508 --> 00:04:57,548
Speaker 1: a better roster than the Bulls. And I'm not saying

123
00:04:57,588 --> 00:05:00,508
Speaker 1: the Chargers don't. I'm saying that the Chiefs have Jordan,

124
00:05:00,708 --> 00:05:03,108
Speaker 1: and they really do. Now, we could easily just make this.

125
00:05:03,148 --> 00:05:04,548
Speaker 1: You can't beat my home, you can't pet my moment. I'm

126
00:05:04,548 --> 00:05:06,188
Speaker 1: gonna try. I'm gonna try to come up with something

127
00:05:06,188 --> 00:05:09,788
Speaker 1: tangible I have. In twenty eighteen, the Chargers drafted Drwin

128
00:05:09,828 --> 00:05:12,348
Speaker 1: James out of Florida State. A couple of years prior,

129
00:05:12,428 --> 00:05:15,948
Speaker 1: they drafted Joey Bosa, and he brings fits Rookie of

130
00:05:15,948 --> 00:05:19,508
Speaker 1: the Year. Since that time, they have had ten games,

131
00:05:19,508 --> 00:05:22,188
Speaker 1: I believe against the Chargers. Only four of them have

132
00:05:22,228 --> 00:05:23,988
Speaker 1: they had Durwin and Bosa at the same time.

133
00:05:24,308 --> 00:05:26,788
Speaker 2: Only four. You guess what, guys, they beat the Chiefs

134
00:05:26,788 --> 00:05:27,428
Speaker 2: and two of them.

135
00:05:27,748 --> 00:05:31,148
Speaker 1: They're five hundred against the Chiefs with Bosa and with

136
00:05:31,268 --> 00:05:34,628
Speaker 1: Derwin James, the two like star defensive players that they have,

137
00:05:35,108 --> 00:05:36,948
Speaker 1: and in both the game and all four of the games,

138
00:05:36,988 --> 00:05:39,508
Speaker 1: like Mahomes, does not do the Mahomes thing. It's not

139
00:05:39,748 --> 00:05:41,988
Speaker 1: four d and twenty yards and two touchdowns. The Tyreek

140
00:05:41,988 --> 00:05:45,668
Speaker 1: and Tuda Kelsey. They're a different team, and so I'm

141
00:05:45,668 --> 00:05:47,948
Speaker 1: not crying for the Chargers. The Chiefs fans like two bads.

142
00:05:47,988 --> 00:05:49,988
Speaker 1: Part of the game, it is, but also part of

143
00:05:49,988 --> 00:05:51,988
Speaker 1: the game is having your studs out there, and it's

144
00:05:52,028 --> 00:05:55,588
Speaker 1: like you have Kelsey and Mahomes and the Chargers amped

145
00:05:55,708 --> 00:05:58,468
Speaker 1: up and got Bosa and Drwin. They're a different team.

146
00:05:58,548 --> 00:06:00,828
Speaker 1: That's a different matchup with both of them. So the

147
00:06:00,948 --> 00:06:04,028
Speaker 1: question is not are the Chargers going to take out

148
00:06:04,028 --> 00:06:05,548
Speaker 1: the chief I don't think they are.

149
00:06:05,868 --> 00:06:07,828
Speaker 2: The question is are they the biggest threat?

150
00:06:08,068 --> 00:06:10,988
Speaker 1: I think emphatically they're the biggest threat because I still

151
00:06:11,028 --> 00:06:13,308
Speaker 1: have no idea what we're getting from the Raiders this year,

152
00:06:13,428 --> 00:06:15,748
Speaker 1: and there's too much mystery around the Broncos. I think

153
00:06:15,788 --> 00:06:18,148
Speaker 1: the Chargers, without a doubt, run away are the biggest threat.

154
00:06:18,388 --> 00:06:20,308
Speaker 1: I don't think they're gonna do it. I don't think

155
00:06:20,308 --> 00:06:22,348
Speaker 1: the Pacers were gonna win that series against the Bulls.

156
00:06:22,428 --> 00:06:24,228
Speaker 1: They had Game seven at home and Jordan was Jordan.

157
00:06:24,308 --> 00:06:26,148
Speaker 2: That was it. I think it's the biggest threat.

158
00:06:26,148 --> 00:06:28,388
Speaker 1: If that's a consolation prize, fine, but I'm not going

159
00:06:28,548 --> 00:06:29,828
Speaker 1: I still think it's the chief They.

160
00:06:29,708 --> 00:06:32,308
Speaker 6: Made the playoffs last year and we all said, wow, Okay,

161
00:06:32,308 --> 00:06:33,188
Speaker 6: that is getting Overhub and.

162
00:06:33,188 --> 00:06:34,348
Speaker 5: Then they had this colossal loss.

163
00:06:34,588 --> 00:06:35,308
Speaker 2: What do you make of that?

164
00:06:35,388 --> 00:06:37,708
Speaker 6: It was almost as if they didn't make the playoffs, right,

165
00:06:37,788 --> 00:06:39,468
Speaker 6: Like it was almost like it was worse making the

166
00:06:39,508 --> 00:06:41,588
Speaker 6: playoffs when you have that kind of loss, and everyone

167
00:06:41,628 --> 00:06:43,508
Speaker 6: says all the Chargers are the same old Chargers thing.

168
00:06:44,748 --> 00:06:47,988
Speaker 6: Brandon Staley is so so deliberate and talking to the

169
00:06:48,028 --> 00:06:49,068
Speaker 6: team and talking to media that.

170
00:06:49,068 --> 00:06:52,148
Speaker 5: Like, that's not a thing, that same old Chargers.

171
00:06:52,188 --> 00:06:54,508
Speaker 6: And yet when you give up a twenty seven point

172
00:06:54,588 --> 00:06:56,508
Speaker 6: playoffs lead, it is a thing.

173
00:06:57,588 --> 00:06:58,788
Speaker 5: You have to slay that dragon.

174
00:06:58,948 --> 00:07:01,348
Speaker 7: Yeah, you can't shake down Moniker sometimes and it comes

175
00:07:01,348 --> 00:07:03,388
Speaker 7: back to haunt you later on. We call us the

176
00:07:03,428 --> 00:07:06,068
Speaker 7: game of inches, right and to your point, like in

177
00:07:06,148 --> 00:07:09,628
Speaker 7: basketball it's one shot, you know, it's one point. Everything

178
00:07:09,708 --> 00:07:11,748
Speaker 7: is so close, and you look at the Chargers like

179
00:07:11,828 --> 00:07:13,508
Speaker 7: I look at Brandon Staley, a the coach. He's coached

180
00:07:13,548 --> 00:07:16,748
Speaker 7: thirty five football games for the Chargers, and seven of

181
00:07:16,788 --> 00:07:21,228
Speaker 7: those have been losses by three points or less. So

182
00:07:21,268 --> 00:07:23,988
Speaker 7: they're right there like that's a huge swing right there.

183
00:07:24,028 --> 00:07:26,788
Speaker 7: That's twenty percent of the games you're losing by three

184
00:07:26,788 --> 00:07:29,668
Speaker 7: points or less. And I feel like a lot of

185
00:07:29,668 --> 00:07:31,468
Speaker 7: times over the last couple of years, we were looking

186
00:07:31,508 --> 00:07:32,788
Speaker 7: at like is he going for two? Why is he

187
00:07:32,828 --> 00:07:34,388
Speaker 7: going for two? A way he should be going for two?

188
00:07:34,388 --> 00:07:36,668
Speaker 7: That becomes a narrative or what's happening at the end

189
00:07:36,668 --> 00:07:39,668
Speaker 7: of the game. I think Brandon Staley the pressures on

190
00:07:39,748 --> 00:07:41,708
Speaker 7: him this year. He's got the talent around him, as

191
00:07:41,748 --> 00:07:44,748
Speaker 7: he pointed out, like this team, like they have the

192
00:07:44,788 --> 00:07:46,508
Speaker 7: ability to beat the Chiefs.

193
00:07:46,588 --> 00:07:47,868
Speaker 5: They have that talent on the roster.

194
00:07:48,428 --> 00:07:50,388
Speaker 7: He's got to make sure he's doing his part and

195
00:07:50,388 --> 00:07:52,788
Speaker 7: they've got to win these close games, Like can't you

196
00:07:52,828 --> 00:07:55,268
Speaker 7: can't let those those games slip apart. You mentioned the

197
00:07:55,268 --> 00:07:58,028
Speaker 7: defensive players not playing together. They had a Khalil Mack.

198
00:07:58,028 --> 00:07:59,388
Speaker 7: We thought we'd get little bit more out of him

199
00:07:59,428 --> 00:08:01,348
Speaker 7: next year. But I'm gonna look at the offensive players

200
00:08:01,388 --> 00:08:04,828
Speaker 7: as well, Like they've got two of the highest paid

201
00:08:04,868 --> 00:08:07,428
Speaker 7: receivers in the league right now, and they haven't been

202
00:08:07,468 --> 00:08:09,868
Speaker 7: able to be on the field together. Keenan Allen's missed

203
00:08:09,868 --> 00:08:12,228
Speaker 7: a ton of games. And when you look at the

204
00:08:12,388 --> 00:08:15,868
Speaker 7: Chargers receiver stats from last year, they're never going to

205
00:08:15,908 --> 00:08:17,748
Speaker 7: be able to beat the Chiefs. If Austin Eckler is

206
00:08:17,788 --> 00:08:19,908
Speaker 7: your leading receiver for the season, like that's just not

207
00:08:19,908 --> 00:08:21,868
Speaker 7: gonna happen. You've got You've got Keenan Allen, You've got

208
00:08:21,908 --> 00:08:24,748
Speaker 7: Mike Williams, two of the best receivers drafted first round pick,

209
00:08:25,348 --> 00:08:28,748
Speaker 7: and Quinn Johnson. So you've got three studs out there.

210
00:08:28,748 --> 00:08:31,468
Speaker 7: You've got your basketball team out there, like they have

211
00:08:31,548 --> 00:08:34,348
Speaker 7: to be your leading receivers. You can't ask Austin Eckler

212
00:08:34,348 --> 00:08:35,028
Speaker 7: to do everything.

213
00:08:35,468 --> 00:08:35,988
Speaker 4: Isn't that funny?

214
00:08:36,028 --> 00:08:38,468
Speaker 3: How hard we have to try to find the reason

215
00:08:38,508 --> 00:08:41,268
Speaker 3: why the Chargers like could be it, why they've been

216
00:08:41,388 --> 00:08:43,188
Speaker 3: on the edge for the last couple of years, and

217
00:08:43,188 --> 00:08:45,268
Speaker 3: why this one could be different. So we all have

218
00:08:45,348 --> 00:08:47,908
Speaker 3: our different right try to find the reasons why mine

219
00:08:48,028 --> 00:08:50,268
Speaker 3: is the quarterback. Head to head, They've played five times,

220
00:08:50,348 --> 00:08:53,828
Speaker 3: Mahomes and Herbert. Mahomes has beat them four times, Herbert's.

221
00:08:53,428 --> 00:08:54,228
Speaker 4: Gotten one time.

222
00:08:54,468 --> 00:08:57,868
Speaker 3: But the numbers are actually mind boggling as to how

223
00:08:57,988 --> 00:08:59,508
Speaker 3: similar these five.

224
00:08:59,268 --> 00:09:02,588
Speaker 4: Games have gone. In each of those games.

225
00:09:02,348 --> 00:09:05,028
Speaker 3: Consider the fact that there has been a lead change

226
00:09:05,428 --> 00:09:10,388
Speaker 3: in the fourth quarter every single time. In those five games,

227
00:09:10,708 --> 00:09:14,108
Speaker 3: the Chiefs have only outscored the Chargers by nine points.

228
00:09:14,468 --> 00:09:16,628
Speaker 3: The games I've been decided by one score or less

229
00:09:16,668 --> 00:09:20,748
Speaker 3: every single time, justin Herbert is right there. He keeps

230
00:09:20,748 --> 00:09:24,188
Speaker 3: pace Offensively, there's one hundred yard passing yard completion difference

231
00:09:24,188 --> 00:09:26,908
Speaker 3: between the two and these five games, Mahomes has thrown

232
00:09:26,948 --> 00:09:31,668
Speaker 3: thirteen tds, Herbert twelve. Mahomes has thrown three picks, Herbert four.

233
00:09:31,948 --> 00:09:35,668
Speaker 3: It is wild how on pace Herbert has been able

234
00:09:35,668 --> 00:09:36,068
Speaker 3: to stay.

235
00:09:36,548 --> 00:09:37,908
Speaker 4: But it's the Jordan effect.

236
00:09:37,988 --> 00:09:40,828
Speaker 8: It's everything we've been saying at the table is that

237
00:09:40,948 --> 00:09:43,788
Speaker 8: it's that one one step further, it's that I don't

238
00:09:43,828 --> 00:09:47,828
Speaker 8: care Tortoise the hair find any competitive story in the

239
00:09:47,908 --> 00:09:51,628
Speaker 8: last one thousand years, and Mahomes represents the thing that

240
00:09:51,708 --> 00:09:53,428
Speaker 8: always gets away from Justin Herbert.

241
00:09:53,428 --> 00:09:56,588
Speaker 3: And the problem lastly with the Chargers is not that

242
00:09:56,628 --> 00:09:57,548
Speaker 3: they're in the AFC West.

243
00:09:57,588 --> 00:09:58,788
Speaker 4: I think it's just that they're in the straight up

244
00:09:58,828 --> 00:10:00,988
Speaker 4: AFC because there's so many good teams.

245
00:10:01,028 --> 00:10:02,828
Speaker 3: So if they don't get it, if they don't get

246
00:10:02,828 --> 00:10:05,588
Speaker 3: the Chiefs in the West, film was that much harder

247
00:10:05,588 --> 00:10:07,148
Speaker 3: for them to make it in and be one of

248
00:10:07,148 --> 00:10:09,348
Speaker 3: the top seven because of how much better I think

249
00:10:09,388 --> 00:10:12,148
Speaker 3: everybody got this season as well, just within the AFC.

250
00:10:12,868 --> 00:10:15,068
Speaker 4: It's wild to see those five games.

251
00:10:14,908 --> 00:10:17,468
Speaker 6: He's That first game was of course the Tyrod Taylor

252
00:10:17,548 --> 00:10:19,148
Speaker 6: gets the injection right before him.

253
00:10:19,268 --> 00:10:20,668
Speaker 5: They're like, Okay, you gotta go play.

254
00:10:21,108 --> 00:10:23,828
Speaker 6: You're going up against the defending champion Kansaity Chiefs, and

255
00:10:23,908 --> 00:10:27,988
Speaker 6: he went throw for throw and was unbelievable for them.

256
00:10:28,828 --> 00:10:30,988
Speaker 6: Herbert's contract is coming up. I don't think he has

257
00:10:31,028 --> 00:10:33,148
Speaker 6: to do anything and win this many game. I think

258
00:10:33,148 --> 00:10:36,028
Speaker 6: he's gonna get paid huge. But gosh, does the team

259
00:10:36,068 --> 00:10:38,508
Speaker 6: not feel a lot better going into that whole situation

260
00:10:38,708 --> 00:10:41,628
Speaker 6: with Herbert having this marvelous season. I'm looking at like

261
00:10:41,788 --> 00:10:45,308
Speaker 6: MVP odds, like he's a name I would circle as making.

262
00:10:45,268 --> 00:10:47,988
Speaker 5: The leap this year. But that's all speculation.

263
00:10:48,148 --> 00:10:50,028
Speaker 6: We've been saying that for two years, like the number.

264
00:10:50,108 --> 00:10:53,028
Speaker 6: We know he's amazing. You gotta find a way to

265
00:10:53,028 --> 00:10:55,428
Speaker 6: win these games. And Jamie, his stats have been great,

266
00:10:55,628 --> 00:10:58,388
Speaker 6: Like Travis Kelcey has destroyed the Chargers the past few

267
00:10:58,428 --> 00:10:59,068
Speaker 6: times they played them.

268
00:10:59,148 --> 00:11:01,588
Speaker 5: Herbert can't do anything about that. It's not a Herbert thing,

269
00:11:01,668 --> 00:11:02,908
Speaker 5: it's a Chargers thing.

270
00:11:02,948 --> 00:11:05,348
Speaker 6: And it's like Brendis Staleer's a coach, find a way

271
00:11:05,388 --> 00:11:07,428
Speaker 6: to stop Travis Kelsey.

272
00:11:07,428 --> 00:11:09,388
Speaker 4: And that's what and that's what I implied when I'm

273
00:11:09,388 --> 00:11:10,868
Speaker 4: saying how close they are.

274
00:11:11,108 --> 00:11:12,028
Speaker 2: Yeah, it's very cool.

275
00:11:12,148 --> 00:11:12,948
Speaker 4: It's not like.

276
00:11:13,068 --> 00:11:16,348
Speaker 3: Mahomes is out there sling in two thousand passing yards.

277
00:11:16,268 --> 00:11:18,908
Speaker 4: Five games, and Herbert's like seven hundred and twenty six.

278
00:11:19,028 --> 00:11:22,028
Speaker 3: No, no, it's fifteen hundred and it's fourteen hundred. That's

279
00:11:22,068 --> 00:11:23,748
Speaker 3: that's what they're throwing over five games.

280
00:11:24,068 --> 00:11:26,588
Speaker 1: Yeah, well that's you know, Derwin is supposed to be

281
00:11:26,628 --> 00:11:27,268
Speaker 1: the Kelsey stop.

282
00:11:27,468 --> 00:11:29,388
Speaker 2: He's the Gerald Wilkins. He's the guy like the Joe

283
00:11:29,468 --> 00:11:29,988
Speaker 2: Dumars are.

284
00:11:29,908 --> 00:11:31,788
Speaker 1: Supposed to stop him. And he's played really well when

285
00:11:31,788 --> 00:11:33,588
Speaker 1: he's been out there. Last time, they played nine tackles.

286
00:11:33,628 --> 00:11:36,148
Speaker 1: All the stats like, you gotta start having wins and

287
00:11:36,148 --> 00:11:37,668
Speaker 1: we can put up a million full screens of how

288
00:11:37,668 --> 00:11:39,468
Speaker 1: close you are on a close short like it's it's

289
00:11:39,508 --> 00:11:42,468
Speaker 1: a game of wins and losses, and they are very close.

290
00:11:42,548 --> 00:11:44,348
Speaker 1: I do think they're close, and I didn't think. I

291
00:11:44,388 --> 00:11:46,948
Speaker 1: don't feel irresponsible saying could the charges cuts the chiefs.

292
00:11:47,428 --> 00:11:49,028
Speaker 1: I don't want to have the same conversation next year,

293
00:11:49,028 --> 00:11:50,308
Speaker 1: as I really don't interesting.

294
00:11:50,348 --> 00:11:52,428
Speaker 5: They took Johnston, who's this big six to two.

295
00:11:52,588 --> 00:11:55,548
Speaker 6: That's like they took him over Addison, they took him

296
00:11:55,548 --> 00:11:58,708
Speaker 6: over Zay Flowers. They took him over Jalen Hyatt, like

297
00:11:59,148 --> 00:12:01,708
Speaker 6: that will be one to watch also because we know

298
00:12:01,868 --> 00:12:04,348
Speaker 6: we've been hearing about, Hey, the Eagles took Jalen ray

299
00:12:04,468 --> 00:12:07,908
Speaker 6: Go over Justin Jefferson, or our Raiders took Henry Ruggs

300
00:12:07,948 --> 00:12:10,468
Speaker 6: over Justin Jefferson, Like you hear about these things, and

301
00:12:10,548 --> 00:12:12,868
Speaker 6: like that's one where they jumped into the pool. They said,

302
00:12:12,868 --> 00:12:16,228
Speaker 6: all right, we're taking Quentin Johnson out of TCU over

303
00:12:16,348 --> 00:12:17,988
Speaker 6: Jordan Addison's z A Flowers.

304
00:12:18,108 --> 00:12:19,628
Speaker 5: That's gonna be one to watch all season long.

305
00:12:19,668 --> 00:12:21,468
Speaker 7: StrEG So not only do they draft the receiver right,

306
00:12:21,508 --> 00:12:23,548
Speaker 7: and then the next four picks they go two D

307
00:12:23,628 --> 00:12:25,868
Speaker 7: tackles tow linebackers, so they're loaded up on the defense

308
00:12:25,908 --> 00:12:28,988
Speaker 7: to try to stop Jordan and Mahomes and the Chiefs

309
00:12:28,988 --> 00:12:30,708
Speaker 7: and all that. I'm trying to get like a little

310
00:12:30,708 --> 00:12:32,388
Speaker 7: comparison here, and the only thing I can come up

311
00:12:32,388 --> 00:12:34,588
Speaker 7: with this, Like, so they're telling me Justin Herbert is

312
00:12:34,748 --> 00:12:37,468
Speaker 7: Chargers and they are the lightning mcqueens. So that makes

313
00:12:37,468 --> 00:12:40,148
Speaker 7: Mahomes Jackson storm Where we're going.

314
00:12:39,988 --> 00:12:44,348
Speaker 1: With that, Sean is referencing cars three three, which is

315
00:12:44,508 --> 00:12:46,388
Speaker 1: the two was a miserable, three was a redemption.

316
00:12:47,588 --> 00:12:49,348
Speaker 2: Yeah, they go like a spy thriller.

317
00:12:50,148 --> 00:12:53,828
Speaker 1: Vader has a bomb on ice cream, has turn That's

318
00:12:53,868 --> 00:12:55,548
Speaker 1: a nicely done Sewan cars three guys.

319
00:12:55,588 --> 00:12:56,628
Speaker 2: That's the only place you can get it.

320
00:13:00,468 --> 00:13:03,748
Speaker 3: It's quarterback week here on Good Morning Football. And since

321
00:13:03,788 --> 00:13:06,228
Speaker 3: this is the first time for me through off season

322
00:13:06,348 --> 00:13:07,748
Speaker 3: regiment training.

323
00:13:07,908 --> 00:13:09,668
Speaker 4: I didn't realize how this works. I asked, Kyle, what

324
00:13:09,748 --> 00:13:10,868
Speaker 4: is your top five list's gonna be this?

325
00:13:10,908 --> 00:13:11,148
Speaker 3: I don't know.

326
00:13:11,148 --> 00:13:11,868
Speaker 4: I'm wanna pick one.

327
00:13:11,948 --> 00:13:14,268
Speaker 3: I gotta sign the under twenty five guys. And I think,

328
00:13:14,308 --> 00:13:15,908
Speaker 3: like I said earlier, because I'm closest to the pin

329
00:13:16,148 --> 00:13:17,948
Speaker 3: thirty four, no one else at the table can speak

330
00:13:17,948 --> 00:13:20,748
Speaker 3: that language of like this guy looks perf this is amazed.

331
00:13:20,828 --> 00:13:22,668
Speaker 3: I'm gonna try to I'm gonna try to make it work.

332
00:13:22,828 --> 00:13:25,948
Speaker 4: You guys again. Qualification follow this closely.

333
00:13:26,108 --> 00:13:28,028
Speaker 3: Under twenty five, not twenty five and hundred. Don't come

334
00:13:28,068 --> 00:13:30,508
Speaker 3: at me with Justin Herbert and Tua. They just turned

335
00:13:30,548 --> 00:13:33,828
Speaker 3: twenty five in March. They're off the list. Okay, start

336
00:13:33,868 --> 00:13:36,748
Speaker 3: with number five on my list. Go on to Pittsburgh.

337
00:13:36,788 --> 00:13:38,788
Speaker 4: I'm taking you to Kenny Pickett down.

338
00:13:39,028 --> 00:13:41,468
Speaker 3: Kenny Pickett was not even the starter for the Pittsburgh

339
00:13:41,468 --> 00:13:43,748
Speaker 3: Steelers last season that went to Mitch Trubisky. There was

340
00:13:43,748 --> 00:13:46,108
Speaker 3: a gentleman at our table who picked Kenny Pickett to

341
00:13:46,148 --> 00:13:48,388
Speaker 3: be the offensive rookie of the year. It did not

342
00:13:48,468 --> 00:13:50,148
Speaker 3: unfold for him that way, but that doesn't mean it

343
00:13:50,148 --> 00:13:53,228
Speaker 3: wasn't a promising season. Kenny Pickett was six years old

344
00:13:53,268 --> 00:13:55,628
Speaker 3: when that man was drafted back in two thousand and four.

345
00:13:55,868 --> 00:13:58,308
Speaker 3: He then goes to play for Pittsburgh for his college,

346
00:13:58,388 --> 00:14:00,828
Speaker 3: gets drafted because he's been down the hallway. Mike Tomlin's

347
00:14:00,868 --> 00:14:04,068
Speaker 3: been seeing Kenny Pickett play, but he watched Roethlisberger play

348
00:14:04,468 --> 00:14:06,988
Speaker 3: models now himself and his game after it, and Kenny

349
00:14:06,988 --> 00:14:09,068
Speaker 3: Pickett had a heck of a second half of his

350
00:14:09,108 --> 00:14:12,228
Speaker 3: season once he took over the starting spot in Week five.

351
00:14:12,948 --> 00:14:15,668
Speaker 3: He only suffered one loss in his final six games

352
00:14:15,668 --> 00:14:17,428
Speaker 3: in twenty twenty two. That lost to the Ravens, and

353
00:14:17,428 --> 00:14:19,468
Speaker 3: he actually got knocked out of that game, so that

354
00:14:19,508 --> 00:14:21,628
Speaker 3: didn't even come at the hands of Kenny Pickett. What

355
00:14:21,668 --> 00:14:23,508
Speaker 3: we hear about him a lot is how he takes

356
00:14:23,548 --> 00:14:26,348
Speaker 3: command of the leadership role on this team, but also

357
00:14:26,428 --> 00:14:27,468
Speaker 3: the guy can just ball.

358
00:14:27,588 --> 00:14:28,908
Speaker 4: The way he gets out of the pocket.

359
00:14:29,108 --> 00:14:31,228
Speaker 3: There are plays that impress us so much after the

360
00:14:31,268 --> 00:14:33,428
Speaker 3: fact that, oh, he was under pressure, he didn't know

361
00:14:33,428 --> 00:14:33,708
Speaker 3: what to do.

362
00:14:33,828 --> 00:14:35,228
Speaker 4: He was scrambling finding guys.

363
00:14:35,348 --> 00:14:37,268
Speaker 3: He has that kind of special sauce that we thought

364
00:14:37,268 --> 00:14:39,348
Speaker 3: we all saw to star last season and then he

365
00:14:39,388 --> 00:14:40,028
Speaker 3: started to show it.

366
00:14:40,028 --> 00:14:43,988
Speaker 4: He's number five on my list. Number four. Justin Fields

367
00:14:44,028 --> 00:14:46,628
Speaker 4: is twenty four years old. For Fields, come on down,

368
00:14:47,028 --> 00:14:49,588
Speaker 4: Justin Field's twenty four years old entering his third season.

369
00:14:49,628 --> 00:14:52,068
Speaker 3: We just got done talking about how Justin Fields has

370
00:14:52,148 --> 00:14:53,508
Speaker 3: just been I don't know how many different ways you

371
00:14:53,548 --> 00:14:56,628
Speaker 3: can say obliterated, but it's happened. It's unfortunate for his

372
00:14:56,708 --> 00:14:59,828
Speaker 3: offensive line. Please keep them this man upright so he

373
00:14:59,868 --> 00:15:02,868
Speaker 3: can throw the ball. His rushing game, obviously has been impressive,

374
00:15:03,668 --> 00:15:05,908
Speaker 3: second behind the mar Jackson when Laar Jackson did it

375
00:15:05,908 --> 00:15:07,948
Speaker 3: back in twenty nineteen for the most rushing yards as

376
00:15:07,948 --> 00:15:08,508
Speaker 3: a quarterback.

377
00:15:08,668 --> 00:15:10,388
Speaker 4: Now Justin Fields is second on that list.

378
00:15:10,428 --> 00:15:13,628
Speaker 3: Last season he had over thirteen hundred rushing yards. Also

379
00:15:13,708 --> 00:15:17,268
Speaker 3: qualification for being an early twenty something. He's got a puppy, Uno,

380
00:15:17,468 --> 00:15:20,188
Speaker 3: and as puppy has an Instagram his name is Uno Fields.

381
00:15:20,228 --> 00:15:22,908
Speaker 4: Okay, that was important. We're trying to put to scale.

382
00:15:22,988 --> 00:15:25,308
Speaker 3: How young all these guys are right, so Uno Fields

383
00:15:25,348 --> 00:15:25,708
Speaker 3: makes them.

384
00:15:25,828 --> 00:15:28,228
Speaker 1: I think that's that's about the card game, or maybe Jersey.

385
00:15:27,988 --> 00:15:29,988
Speaker 4: Number one, or about the pizza plays. Isn't it a

386
00:15:29,988 --> 00:15:30,868
Speaker 4: pep Yeah, pizza?

387
00:15:31,468 --> 00:15:31,668
Speaker 1: And that.

388
00:15:33,148 --> 00:15:37,348
Speaker 3: Number three, number three Rock Party brock.

389
00:15:37,108 --> 00:15:39,268
Speaker 4: Perty land a number three.

390
00:15:39,948 --> 00:15:42,468
Speaker 3: People may have seen not enough of Party, but I

391
00:15:42,588 --> 00:15:44,748
Speaker 3: did last season to see brock Perty who was also

392
00:15:44,788 --> 00:15:45,828
Speaker 3: twenty three years old.

393
00:15:46,428 --> 00:15:48,468
Speaker 4: Brock Perty had a heck of a stretch when he

394
00:15:48,508 --> 00:15:49,148
Speaker 4: got to start.

395
00:15:49,188 --> 00:15:52,588
Speaker 3: After he came in week thirteen, starts fourteen beats, Brady

396
00:15:52,828 --> 00:15:56,508
Speaker 3: goes on to become just one of nine rookie quarterbacks

397
00:15:56,548 --> 00:15:59,428
Speaker 3: to win a postseason game. The last quarterback to do

398
00:15:59,548 --> 00:16:02,588
Speaker 3: so was Russell Wilson back in twenty twelve. If that

399
00:16:02,628 --> 00:16:04,868
Speaker 3: doesn't tell me something as to why brock you should

400
00:16:04,908 --> 00:16:07,228
Speaker 3: be above Justin Fields on this list, then I can't

401
00:16:07,228 --> 00:16:10,788
Speaker 3: have this conversation with you. In all of his games

402
00:16:10,788 --> 00:16:13,628
Speaker 3: in a five stars rock Perty had two plus passing touchdowns.

403
00:16:13,668 --> 00:16:15,428
Speaker 4: He was plat out balling. He wasn't just oh you

404
00:16:15,508 --> 00:16:16,748
Speaker 4: welied on a defense. Non no, No.

405
00:16:17,268 --> 00:16:20,188
Speaker 3: He's also playing in a kickball game this weekend, which

406
00:16:20,268 --> 00:16:22,068
Speaker 3: like very twenty three year old of him.

407
00:16:22,148 --> 00:16:24,348
Speaker 1: Ironic kickball ironic kickball.

408
00:16:24,108 --> 00:16:25,348
Speaker 4: For a twenty four year old quarterback.

409
00:16:25,628 --> 00:16:27,588
Speaker 3: Next, we've got the man the hair of the legend.

410
00:16:27,588 --> 00:16:31,388
Speaker 3: We have Trevor Lawrence at number two Jacksonville Jaguars, going

411
00:16:31,428 --> 00:16:34,228
Speaker 3: into his third season, but we all have dubbed it

412
00:16:34,268 --> 00:16:37,628
Speaker 3: his second because the Urban Maya era did count against

413
00:16:37,948 --> 00:16:40,628
Speaker 3: Trevor Lawrence. Just a beautiful game coming out of college.

414
00:16:41,028 --> 00:16:43,748
Speaker 3: He was born one year before. Remember the Titans became

415
00:16:43,788 --> 00:16:46,388
Speaker 3: a movie. There's just really no connection there whatsoever. But

416
00:16:46,748 --> 00:16:49,508
Speaker 3: take that for what you will. Of course, he had

417
00:16:49,508 --> 00:16:53,628
Speaker 3: four interceptions, and that AFC Wildcard game against the Chargers,

418
00:16:54,148 --> 00:16:56,028
Speaker 3: they were down twenty seven. He led them all the

419
00:16:56,068 --> 00:16:57,948
Speaker 3: way back to go on to play Kansas City and

420
00:16:58,028 --> 00:17:00,748
Speaker 3: only lost by a touchdown. You can say that only

421
00:17:01,108 --> 00:17:02,788
Speaker 3: when that team goes on to win the Super Bowl.

422
00:17:02,868 --> 00:17:06,228
Speaker 3: So you are number two Lawrence and number one a

423
00:17:06,268 --> 00:17:08,988
Speaker 3: man that did not make the most clutch list, a

424
00:17:09,028 --> 00:17:11,348
Speaker 3: man that people were so insulted by this they were

425
00:17:11,388 --> 00:17:12,628
Speaker 3: coming for Peter Schrager.

426
00:17:13,468 --> 00:17:15,588
Speaker 4: I give you Jalen Hurts, umber.

427
00:17:15,428 --> 00:17:18,588
Speaker 3: One quarterback under twenty five. He is twenty four. He

428
00:17:18,628 --> 00:17:20,868
Speaker 3: is turning twenty five in August. Not even close.

429
00:17:20,908 --> 00:17:23,028
Speaker 4: At this point. He's a two hundred and fifty five

430
00:17:23,028 --> 00:17:23,868
Speaker 4: million dollar man.

431
00:17:23,908 --> 00:17:26,108
Speaker 3: Now he played his way into a Super Bowl appearance

432
00:17:26,228 --> 00:17:28,868
Speaker 3: last year. He is now is his master's degree.

433
00:17:29,108 --> 00:17:31,508
Speaker 4: Everything this young man does is just cool.

434
00:17:31,628 --> 00:17:33,428
Speaker 3: The way he walks, the way he speaks, the way

435
00:17:33,468 --> 00:17:34,948
Speaker 3: he dresses, the way he plays football.

436
00:17:35,428 --> 00:17:36,148
Speaker 4: Remarkable.

437
00:17:36,188 --> 00:17:40,188
Speaker 3: Remarkable man thirteen times last year out of the eighteen

438
00:17:40,228 --> 00:17:43,548
Speaker 3: games that he played, he had either two plus rushing

439
00:17:43,668 --> 00:17:45,188
Speaker 3: or two plus passing touchdowns.

440
00:17:45,268 --> 00:17:47,308
Speaker 4: Unbelievable production. There's my list.

441
00:17:47,348 --> 00:17:48,468
Speaker 3: This is kind of out of order. We're going to

442
00:17:48,508 --> 00:17:51,428
Speaker 3: start down here. Picket five, justin Fields four.

443
00:17:51,348 --> 00:17:52,868
Speaker 4: Three, two and one.

444
00:17:52,988 --> 00:17:55,388
Speaker 3: Those are my top five quarterbacks under the age of

445
00:17:55,428 --> 00:17:55,988
Speaker 3: twenty five.

446
00:17:56,428 --> 00:17:58,228
Speaker 2: My friends Peter get in there.

447
00:17:58,308 --> 00:18:01,268
Speaker 6: Interesting not to see Mac Jones or Jordan Love on

448
00:18:01,348 --> 00:18:04,548
Speaker 6: this list. Both guys have had some experience, but I

449
00:18:04,548 --> 00:18:07,908
Speaker 6: think it's interesting. Stetson, Bennett and Head and Hooker already

450
00:18:07,948 --> 00:18:11,308
Speaker 6: twenty five rookies would not be able to call this list?

451
00:18:11,668 --> 00:18:13,748
Speaker 1: Are we positive that brock Party is the best under

452
00:18:13,748 --> 00:18:15,468
Speaker 1: twenty five quarterback on his own team?

453
00:18:15,548 --> 00:18:17,708
Speaker 5: The question, Trey Lance mystery looms.

454
00:18:17,748 --> 00:18:19,748
Speaker 2: We don't know.

455
00:18:18,668 --> 00:18:21,148
Speaker 4: I don't know the games.

456
00:18:21,908 --> 00:18:23,588
Speaker 5: Yeah, the Niners have, they might have two.

457
00:18:23,828 --> 00:18:24,428
Speaker 2: I don't know.

458
00:18:24,988 --> 00:18:27,108
Speaker 7: I'd be curious to see like if you switched fields

459
00:18:27,108 --> 00:18:28,868
Speaker 7: in purty, like what that would look like if he

460
00:18:28,948 --> 00:18:31,868
Speaker 7: was he was on the forty nam I hear it.

461
00:18:32,268 --> 00:18:36,108
Speaker 3: That's whys come at me Brow.

Speaker 5: We now welcome back to the show.

00:18:43,668 --> 00:18:46,708
Speaker 6: manager experience. He was also the vice president of player

465
00:18:46,788 --> 00:18:49,108
Speaker 6: personnel with the New England Patriots. He's a three time

466
00:18:49,148 --> 00:18:52,388
Speaker 6: Super Bowl champion, and now he is our front office

467
00:18:52,388 --> 00:18:54,548
Speaker 6: analyst on NFL Network and Good Morning Football.

473
00:19:07,628 --> 00:19:10,948
Speaker 6: Chicago Bears general manager Ryan Poles was a young protege

474
00:19:10,988 --> 00:19:13,028
Speaker 6: of yours once upon a time, and he said it

475
00:19:13,068 --> 00:19:17,348
Speaker 6: was important for him to have quarterback Justin Fields involved

476
00:19:17,348 --> 00:19:20,628
Speaker 6: in the team's draft process, despite being a quarterback who

477
00:19:20,708 --> 00:19:23,348
Speaker 6: was the QB one of a three win team last year.

478
00:19:23,588 --> 00:19:26,548
Speaker 6: What was your reaction to hearing Poles bringing In Fields

479
00:19:26,548 --> 00:19:29,428
Speaker 6: his opinion on the draft and really trusting his voice

480
00:19:29,428 --> 00:19:31,548
Speaker 6: as the quarterback number one.

481
00:19:32,308 --> 00:19:34,268
Speaker 9: You know, Peter, when I first read the article of

482
00:19:34,748 --> 00:19:36,428
Speaker 9: read the quote that he had let him in the

483
00:19:36,468 --> 00:19:38,148
Speaker 9: draft room and shown him the board and done anything.

484
00:19:38,188 --> 00:19:39,468
Speaker 5: I was like, Poles, what are you doing?

485
00:19:39,548 --> 00:19:41,508
Speaker 9: And then I thought about it and I read the

486
00:19:41,628 --> 00:19:44,788
Speaker 9: article further, and what was clear here is Poles didn't

487
00:19:44,828 --> 00:19:47,788
Speaker 9: sit there and tell him each individual move that they

488
00:19:47,788 --> 00:19:51,388
Speaker 9: were going to make. He wasn't breaking up the clusters

489
00:19:51,428 --> 00:19:53,348
Speaker 9: of players and saying we're gonna have this guy ahead

490
00:19:53,348 --> 00:19:54,988
Speaker 9: of this guy or this guy ahead of this guy.

491
00:19:55,188 --> 00:19:58,188
Speaker 9: What he was doing was he was explaining his process

492
00:19:58,548 --> 00:20:01,988
Speaker 9: and what their strategy was, which is really really smart

493
00:20:02,028 --> 00:20:03,988
Speaker 9: by Brian Poles. And Ryan Poles will tell you this.

494
00:20:04,468 --> 00:20:06,428
Speaker 9: You know, hired him in two thousand and nine. One

495
00:20:06,468 --> 00:20:09,988
Speaker 9: of the smartest people that I've been around, and organized

496
00:20:10,068 --> 00:20:13,028
Speaker 9: and detailed. But the most important thing that I loved

497
00:20:13,028 --> 00:20:14,988
Speaker 9: about Ryan when he was in our office was that

498
00:20:15,028 --> 00:20:18,068
Speaker 9: he was a relationship builder. And this is what he's

499
00:20:18,148 --> 00:20:20,908
Speaker 9: all about. If you read that article further, he talks

500
00:20:20,908 --> 00:20:24,348
Speaker 9: about the relationship not only with his quarterback justin Fields,

501
00:20:24,588 --> 00:20:26,948
Speaker 9: but he talks about the relationship that he had to

502
00:20:26,988 --> 00:20:30,028
Speaker 9: build with his coaches and all the assistant coaches, and

503
00:20:30,068 --> 00:20:32,348
Speaker 9: how there's so much give and take and there's so

504
00:20:32,388 --> 00:20:35,668
Speaker 9: many questions that are asked where they don't ask people

505
00:20:35,868 --> 00:20:38,668
Speaker 9: what they do is this They ask people questions to

506
00:20:38,828 --> 00:20:41,748
Speaker 9: explain process. And as we know in life, if you

507
00:20:41,868 --> 00:20:45,708
Speaker 9: understand someone's process, if you understand how people arrive at decisions,

508
00:20:45,988 --> 00:20:47,988
Speaker 9: it gives you a lot of insight not only into

509
00:20:48,028 --> 00:20:51,268
Speaker 9: who they are, but it helps you understand the decisions

510
00:20:51,308 --> 00:20:52,108
Speaker 9: that they make.

511
00:20:52,668 --> 00:20:55,068
Speaker 10: And it makes everybody so much more comfortable.

512
00:20:55,068 --> 00:20:58,068
Speaker 9: And when people are comfortable, they can perform better, because

513
00:20:58,148 --> 00:21:00,868
Speaker 9: at some point in time, it's going to get uncomfortable.

514
00:21:00,908 --> 00:21:03,828
Speaker 9: So I actually love what Poles did and wasn't too

515
00:21:03,868 --> 00:21:05,708
Speaker 9: surprised because again and just knowing what kind of a

516
00:21:05,748 --> 00:21:09,268
Speaker 9: relationship builder and a glue guy he is amongst groups

517
00:21:09,308 --> 00:21:09,788
Speaker 9: of people.

518
00:21:11,148 --> 00:21:13,988
Speaker 2: Love a glue guy. Love having your perspective on this.

519
00:21:14,148 --> 00:21:16,228
Speaker 1: Earlier in the day, Scott, we were talking about Matt Ryan,

520
00:21:16,508 --> 00:21:19,308
Speaker 1: a guy so you know, in love because he announced

521
00:21:19,308 --> 00:21:20,988
Speaker 1: that he's joining the CBS broadcast thing. We don't know

522
00:21:20,988 --> 00:21:22,708
Speaker 1: if he's ever going to play football again, and we

523
00:21:22,708 --> 00:21:26,308
Speaker 1: got into this discussion about is Matt Ryan if he

524
00:21:26,348 --> 00:21:30,308
Speaker 1: never plays another down, is he underappreciated as a quarterback?

525
00:21:30,348 --> 00:21:32,748
Speaker 1: And we went around the table and I said he

526
00:21:32,788 --> 00:21:35,348
Speaker 1: was kind of the NFC's Philip Rivers and he was

527
00:21:35,388 --> 00:21:37,388
Speaker 1: always very good in such a pro, but was he

528
00:21:37,428 --> 00:21:39,428
Speaker 1: one of the top guys. It's complicated. It's a fun

529
00:21:39,428 --> 00:21:42,548
Speaker 1: topic knowing your perspective of it. Where do you come out.

530
00:21:42,588 --> 00:21:44,428
Speaker 1: Is he underappreciated?

531
00:21:45,828 --> 00:21:46,108
Speaker 2: Kyle?

532
00:21:46,348 --> 00:21:48,348
Speaker 10: It's really complicated. Use a perfect word.

533
00:21:48,388 --> 00:21:51,588
Speaker 9: Oh and by the way, Ryan Poles was Matt Ryan's

534
00:21:51,668 --> 00:21:54,308
Speaker 9: left tackle back in BC one hundred years ago when

535
00:21:54,348 --> 00:21:57,028
Speaker 9: they played together up at Boston College, bringing Poles back

536
00:21:57,068 --> 00:22:02,068
Speaker 9: into it. But it is complicated in the sense that

537
00:22:02,588 --> 00:22:04,508
Speaker 9: I lived with Matt for a number of years and

538
00:22:04,508 --> 00:22:06,868
Speaker 9: I got to see who he was, how he brought

539
00:22:06,868 --> 00:22:10,348
Speaker 9: teammates together, how he elevated the play of players around him,

540
00:22:10,348 --> 00:22:12,468
Speaker 9: how hard he worked. Again, he was one of those

541
00:22:12,468 --> 00:22:16,308
Speaker 9: guys who not only had incredible work habits, he had

542
00:22:16,308 --> 00:22:17,668
Speaker 9: incredible work ethics.

543
00:22:17,708 --> 00:22:20,548
Speaker 10: So he was the total package. He was a tremendous.

544
00:22:20,028 --> 00:22:24,148
Speaker 9: Player, but again, there was always something or some circumstance

545
00:22:24,188 --> 00:22:27,308
Speaker 9: that held him back from winning a championship. And people

546
00:22:27,428 --> 00:22:30,708
Speaker 9: love to be mean too players like that or people

547
00:22:30,788 --> 00:22:34,108
Speaker 9: like that when they just fall short. But the reason

548
00:22:34,188 --> 00:22:36,588
Speaker 9: this is so complicated for me is because I know

549
00:22:36,708 --> 00:22:38,428
Speaker 9: him and I can't be objective. He's one of the

550
00:22:38,468 --> 00:22:41,588
Speaker 9: finest people that I met in my almost thirty years

551
00:22:41,628 --> 00:22:46,828
Speaker 9: in the NFL. Tremendous player, very productive. Again, he elevated

552
00:22:46,868 --> 00:22:50,068
Speaker 9: the players around him. I always think about certain players

553
00:22:50,108 --> 00:22:54,748
Speaker 9: and a guy like Davante Oh my gosh, I'm totally black,

554
00:22:54,748 --> 00:22:58,908
Speaker 9: you know, dame running back that we had, and he

555
00:22:59,068 --> 00:23:00,108
Speaker 9: would help players.

556
00:23:00,188 --> 00:23:02,788
Speaker 10: Davonte Freeman just came back to me.

557
00:23:03,068 --> 00:23:03,828
Speaker 5: He would help.

558
00:23:03,628 --> 00:23:07,628
Speaker 9: Players understand protections and do things that they weren't maybe

559
00:23:07,708 --> 00:23:11,148
Speaker 9: capable of doing, and help that coach them. He had

560
00:23:11,188 --> 00:23:13,948
Speaker 9: this fire on certain guys, but then he was all

561
00:23:14,068 --> 00:23:17,708
Speaker 9: so very caring and gentle with other players and could

562
00:23:17,708 --> 00:23:20,108
Speaker 9: get them to produce at levels. Matt Ryan is so

563
00:23:20,228 --> 00:23:21,988
Speaker 9: much more than the numbers we see. And that's the

564
00:23:22,028 --> 00:23:23,988
Speaker 9: problem is I think we talked too much about his

565
00:23:24,108 --> 00:23:26,948
Speaker 9: numbers and not enough the player and the teammate that

566
00:23:26,988 --> 00:23:27,388
Speaker 9: he was.

567
00:23:29,308 --> 00:23:31,868
Speaker 3: Scott, let's continue on this trend, because everything that we

568
00:23:31,948 --> 00:23:35,228
Speaker 3: have seen of the Eagles quarterback Jalen Hurts and heard

569
00:23:35,228 --> 00:23:37,668
Speaker 3: of him as a player in the NFL is really

570
00:23:37,708 --> 00:23:40,228
Speaker 3: in line with everything you're saying about Matt Ryan. Ryan

571
00:23:40,228 --> 00:23:43,508
Speaker 3: poles likable guys that can relate to everybody around them

572
00:23:43,548 --> 00:23:45,548
Speaker 3: and get their teams to a point where they are

573
00:23:45,588 --> 00:23:46,708
Speaker 3: operating on all cylinders.

574
00:23:46,708 --> 00:23:48,868
Speaker 4: We had Jordan may Alata on yesterday and he called

575
00:23:48,908 --> 00:23:49,788
Speaker 4: in Professor Hurtz.

576
00:23:49,828 --> 00:23:53,148
Speaker 3: He was just singing his praises. Hurts has been rewarded accordingly.

577
00:23:53,188 --> 00:23:55,748
Speaker 3: He's got his contract. He just got his master's degree

578
00:23:55,868 --> 00:23:57,228
Speaker 3: from Oklahoma over the weekend.

579
00:23:57,748 --> 00:23:59,108
Speaker 4: What do you like about Jalen Hurts?

580
00:23:59,108 --> 00:24:00,908
Speaker 3: Now you're really able to step back and look at

581
00:24:00,988 --> 00:24:02,788
Speaker 3: him as a person, both on and off the field.

582
00:24:03,188 --> 00:24:04,468
Speaker 4: What's there to like about him?

583
00:24:06,108 --> 00:24:06,428
Speaker 2: Jamie?

584
00:24:06,428 --> 00:24:08,228
Speaker 9: It's funny because you say, when you look back at

585
00:24:08,308 --> 00:24:10,748
Speaker 9: him in the last couple of years, it's what he

586
00:24:10,908 --> 00:24:12,948
Speaker 9: was when we got to know him first so much

587
00:24:12,988 --> 00:24:16,788
Speaker 9: on a major stage back in twenty eighteen. It's his consistency,

588
00:24:16,908 --> 00:24:20,548
Speaker 9: it's his maturity, it's his dependability, and quite honestly, it's

589
00:24:20,588 --> 00:24:24,188
Speaker 9: his humility. You go back to twenty eighteen when he

590
00:24:24,308 --> 00:24:27,788
Speaker 9: gets benched at halftime at the National championship game, and

591
00:24:27,828 --> 00:24:30,708
Speaker 9: we see here his reaction after Tua took the team

592
00:24:30,748 --> 00:24:34,228
Speaker 9: to the championship. He wasn't pouting, he wasn't worried about himself,

593
00:24:34,228 --> 00:24:37,188
Speaker 9: he wasn't worried about his brand. He was not worried

594
00:24:37,188 --> 00:24:40,788
Speaker 9: about anything but the team's success. And after that, what

595
00:24:40,828 --> 00:24:43,188
Speaker 9: does he do, he sucks it up, he becomes the

596
00:24:43,228 --> 00:24:46,268
Speaker 9: backup the next season, but say so dialed in and

597
00:24:46,348 --> 00:24:48,828
Speaker 9: so committed to the team. They go to the SEC

598
00:24:48,948 --> 00:24:51,428
Speaker 9: championship game, which I believe you were right there with

599
00:24:51,948 --> 00:24:54,748
Speaker 9: interviewing him and coach Nick Saban at the end of

600
00:24:54,748 --> 00:24:59,348
Speaker 9: that game, and again all he was was dependable. When

601
00:24:59,388 --> 00:25:01,908
Speaker 9: teammates have people and players that they know that they

602
00:25:01,948 --> 00:25:03,828
Speaker 9: can count on, that they always know what they're going

603
00:25:03,868 --> 00:25:06,148
Speaker 9: to do and how they're going to behave it's teammates

604
00:25:06,148 --> 00:25:09,628
Speaker 9: and an organization. That's what this guy has been consistently

605
00:25:09,988 --> 00:25:12,748
Speaker 9: since he was a young man back in his teams.

606
00:25:12,788 --> 00:25:15,948
Speaker 9: He is the same guy that has also evolved, but

607
00:25:16,028 --> 00:25:17,188
Speaker 9: the same at the core.

608
00:25:18,708 --> 00:25:21,508
Speaker 7: Scott, I want to dive back into the whole the process,

609
00:25:21,708 --> 00:25:25,868
Speaker 7: words and verbers that you keep using as a GM.

610
00:25:26,468 --> 00:25:28,588
Speaker 7: A lot of people out there may think that the

611
00:25:29,108 --> 00:25:31,708
Speaker 7: draft is the finish line, and after that the process

612
00:25:31,828 --> 00:25:34,788
Speaker 7: ends and the building process ends, and you're off on

613
00:25:34,828 --> 00:25:38,148
Speaker 7: a bingebook reading in Nantucket or if you're taking a

614
00:25:38,148 --> 00:25:40,908
Speaker 7: golf trip in Ireland. That's not the case, right, You're

615
00:25:40,948 --> 00:25:44,548
Speaker 7: still building your team. This past weekend, the XFL had

616
00:25:44,588 --> 00:25:48,068
Speaker 7: their championship game, and some of those players got tryouts

617
00:25:48,068 --> 00:25:51,028
Speaker 7: and actually signed with the NFL team. So tell us

618
00:25:51,028 --> 00:25:53,468
Speaker 7: about the process. How much time do you guys spend

619
00:25:53,588 --> 00:25:54,948
Speaker 7: scouting these spring leagues.

620
00:25:57,148 --> 00:25:58,748
Speaker 9: You know, we used to spend a lot of time

621
00:25:58,748 --> 00:26:00,828
Speaker 9: at the organizations I was with and the fact that

622
00:26:00,868 --> 00:26:03,228
Speaker 9: I came up through pro personnel. This was a big

623
00:26:03,268 --> 00:26:05,548
Speaker 9: part of our off set season in and around the

624
00:26:05,588 --> 00:26:08,308
Speaker 9: draft was we were paying attention to the spring leagues.

625
00:26:08,388 --> 00:26:12,588
Speaker 9: It used to be the NFL Europe then it was

626
00:26:12,628 --> 00:26:15,428
Speaker 9: the World League, or maybe in reverse, but we had

627
00:26:15,468 --> 00:26:17,148
Speaker 9: to pay attention to those leagues. As we know, one

628
00:26:17,188 --> 00:26:18,748
Speaker 9: of the most famous players that came out of one

629
00:26:18,748 --> 00:26:20,788
Speaker 9: of those leagues is a Hall of Famer Kurt Warner.

630
00:26:20,988 --> 00:26:22,788
Speaker 10: But there were other players. I remember we picked.

631
00:26:22,668 --> 00:26:24,308
Speaker 9: Up a guy by the name of Joe Andrewsy who

632
00:26:24,348 --> 00:26:27,508
Speaker 9: ended up starting at guard for US for three Super Bowls.

633
00:26:27,508 --> 00:26:29,828
Speaker 9: He played for the Scottish Claymores. You have to pay

634
00:26:29,908 --> 00:26:32,908
Speaker 9: attentions to the players and the talent in this league.

635
00:26:32,988 --> 00:26:35,108
Speaker 9: And I'll tell you one of the other talents that

636
00:26:35,148 --> 00:26:37,428
Speaker 9: you have to pay attention to those leagues is coaches

637
00:26:37,748 --> 00:26:41,108
Speaker 9: and trainers. There is talent to be picked from that

638
00:26:41,428 --> 00:26:43,628
Speaker 9: we'll come into the NFL. You know, a couple of

639
00:26:43,708 --> 00:26:46,468
Speaker 9: years ago, I did a story on Reggie Barlow, who

640
00:26:46,508 --> 00:26:51,028
Speaker 9: was a HBCU Black College Football Hall of Fame Hall

641
00:26:51,068 --> 00:26:55,788
Speaker 9: of Famer. He played at Alabama State, ended up coaching

642
00:26:55,788 --> 00:26:58,548
Speaker 9: Alabama State, wins a Black College Football Hall of Fame,

643
00:26:58,668 --> 00:27:03,428
Speaker 9: goes over to Virginia State, wins another Black college national championship.

644
00:27:03,468 --> 00:27:05,908
Speaker 9: Excuse me, so he has two Black college national championships.

645
00:27:06,428 --> 00:27:09,068
Speaker 9: Last year he decided to make a change and he

646
00:27:09,148 --> 00:27:12,988
Speaker 9: went to the DC team in the XFL. He goes

647
00:27:13,188 --> 00:27:16,388
Speaker 9: nine to one, goes to the championship game, Coach of

648
00:27:16,428 --> 00:27:19,668
Speaker 9: the Year. Here's a guy who's an incredible talent who

649
00:27:19,748 --> 00:27:23,148
Speaker 9: should be coaching in the NFL. And again, when you're

650
00:27:23,188 --> 00:27:25,628
Speaker 9: looking at those spring leagues, you were always looking for

651
00:27:25,708 --> 00:27:28,028
Speaker 9: additional talent. Reggie Barlow is a guy who was an

652
00:27:28,028 --> 00:27:31,588
Speaker 9: All American player. He was a Pro Bowl player as

653
00:27:31,628 --> 00:27:33,948
Speaker 9: a punt returner, played in eight years in the National

654
00:27:33,948 --> 00:27:36,388
Speaker 9: Football League, and now he's coaching. All he's done is

655
00:27:36,428 --> 00:27:40,908
Speaker 9: win national championships at a smaller level. The talent is there,

656
00:27:41,228 --> 00:27:43,548
Speaker 9: and it's really healthy for teams in the NFL to

657
00:27:43,628 --> 00:27:46,828
Speaker 9: scout the talent that is available, not just on the field.

658
00:27:50,028 --> 00:27:51,988
Speaker 2: Welcome, Good morning football, an excitable show.

659
00:27:52,068 --> 00:27:53,868
Speaker 1: We'd like to get up in the morning very excited

660
00:27:53,868 --> 00:27:55,748
Speaker 1: to talk about football and the share that excitement with

661
00:27:55,788 --> 00:27:59,228
Speaker 1: you sometimes with our own personal scales. Guys, it's time

662
00:27:59,268 --> 00:28:01,908
Speaker 1: to break out our excitement scales.

663
00:28:01,948 --> 00:28:02,628
Speaker 2: What does that mean?

664
00:28:02,628 --> 00:28:05,428
Speaker 1: We're going to apply them to rookie this year. We

665
00:28:05,468 --> 00:28:07,188
Speaker 1: saw the draft a couple of weeks ago, We'll see

666
00:28:07,188 --> 00:28:08,788
Speaker 1: them on the field a few months from now. In

667
00:28:08,788 --> 00:28:11,388
Speaker 1: the meantime, we're each going to go around the table

668
00:28:11,428 --> 00:28:13,068
Speaker 1: and two sets of two and set up our own

669
00:28:13,148 --> 00:28:16,268
Speaker 1: personal excitement scales about how excited we are to see

670
00:28:16,268 --> 00:28:16,708
Speaker 1: one rookie.

671
00:28:16,748 --> 00:28:17,348
Speaker 2: What does that mean?

672
00:28:17,708 --> 00:28:19,788
Speaker 1: On the low end of your personal excitement scale, is

673
00:28:19,828 --> 00:28:22,228
Speaker 1: something that you were not excited about in life. Generally

674
00:28:22,268 --> 00:28:25,628
Speaker 1: you just dread it, You have no enthusiasm whatsoever. And

675
00:28:25,708 --> 00:28:27,868
Speaker 1: at the high end is that ten out of ten?

676
00:28:27,948 --> 00:28:30,548
Speaker 1: This really gets me going. For example, we've done this

677
00:28:30,628 --> 00:28:34,308
Speaker 1: before and Peter's one on his excitement scale was virtual

678
00:28:34,388 --> 00:28:35,508
Speaker 1: happy hours.

679
00:28:35,268 --> 00:28:36,868
Speaker 2: Just does nothing for you.

680
00:28:36,868 --> 00:28:40,548
Speaker 1: Your ten was Daniel Jeremiah's mock draft being dropped.

681
00:28:40,588 --> 00:28:41,348
Speaker 2: That is your ten.

682
00:28:41,668 --> 00:28:43,868
Speaker 1: So Peter, give us either end of your scale and

683
00:28:43,868 --> 00:28:46,028
Speaker 1: they give us a rookie and then place that rookie

684
00:28:46,028 --> 00:28:46,548
Speaker 1: on your scale.

685
00:28:46,588 --> 00:28:48,988
Speaker 6: I love this exercise, okay, and I was trying to

686
00:28:48,988 --> 00:28:50,268
Speaker 6: bring it to the modern time.

687
00:28:50,308 --> 00:28:51,948
Speaker 5: So I did that virtual happy hour.

688
00:28:52,268 --> 00:28:53,708
Speaker 6: I was a one on my scale after I've been

689
00:28:53,748 --> 00:28:56,548
Speaker 6: invited to thirty of them in a row during the pandemic,

690
00:28:56,548 --> 00:28:59,188
Speaker 6: and I had enough of seeing the same backgrounds and

691
00:28:59,188 --> 00:29:00,468
Speaker 6: the same drinks, and I was like, I think we

692
00:29:00,508 --> 00:29:01,308
Speaker 6: want to be in person.

693
00:29:01,468 --> 00:29:01,708
Speaker 2: Yeah.

694
00:29:03,228 --> 00:29:05,988
Speaker 6: There are two letters that I continue to see in

695
00:29:06,068 --> 00:29:10,148
Speaker 6: every headline, every conversation I have, and every piece of

696
00:29:10,188 --> 00:29:12,988
Speaker 6: news on television or on the internet.

697
00:29:13,028 --> 00:29:19,308
Speaker 5: And it scares the bejeezus. Those letters are a I.

698
00:29:18,348 --> 00:29:24,508
Speaker 6: Oh no, they're coming, folks, and I am not here

699
00:29:24,548 --> 00:29:24,948
Speaker 6: for it.

700
00:29:24,948 --> 00:29:25,628
Speaker 2: It's everywhere.

701
00:29:26,948 --> 00:29:28,388
Speaker 5: The writer's strike is going on.

702
00:29:28,468 --> 00:29:30,148
Speaker 6: And the writers said, well, one thing we want in

703
00:29:30,188 --> 00:29:33,228
Speaker 6: the writer's strike is that we don't want, you know,

704
00:29:33,388 --> 00:29:35,908
Speaker 6: the robots and the AI guys to be writing scripts

705
00:29:35,908 --> 00:29:38,268
Speaker 6: for us instead of us. Like, that's an understandable thing

706
00:29:38,348 --> 00:29:40,468
Speaker 6: for And the studios came back, We're.

707
00:29:40,308 --> 00:29:45,188
Speaker 5: Like, we'll revisit that. We're enough to address that. Uh.

708
00:29:45,268 --> 00:29:47,868
Speaker 6: The guy from Google who ran all of this stuff

709
00:29:47,908 --> 00:29:50,228
Speaker 6: stepped away and was like, yeah, I think I'm I'm

710
00:29:50,428 --> 00:29:54,428
Speaker 6: it's a little dangerous. I've seen enough Boston Dynamics videos

711
00:29:54,468 --> 00:29:57,028
Speaker 6: of robots doing household chores and things that I would

712
00:29:57,068 --> 00:29:59,748
Speaker 6: hope that someday I can do. And I've seen enough

713
00:29:59,828 --> 00:30:02,988
Speaker 6: jobs eliminated by Oh Machinery that I am serious when

714
00:30:03,028 --> 00:30:06,828
Speaker 6: I say I I'm haunted by movies like Ex Machina

715
00:30:07,108 --> 00:30:10,948
Speaker 6: and I Robot and and the actual movie AI.

716
00:30:11,308 --> 00:30:12,868
Speaker 5: The warnings are there, folks.

717
00:30:13,028 --> 00:30:16,028
Speaker 6: I say this with serious tones, and if the robots

718
00:30:16,028 --> 00:30:17,708
Speaker 6: are watching, guys, it's not.

719
00:30:17,708 --> 00:30:19,348
Speaker 5: I don't mean it that much. I welcome you with

720
00:30:19,388 --> 00:30:19,908
Speaker 5: open arms.

721
00:30:19,948 --> 00:30:22,948
Speaker 2: Just if they're watching AI mock drafts.

722
00:30:22,948 --> 00:30:24,468
Speaker 5: A mock drafts are.

723
00:30:24,228 --> 00:30:24,708
Speaker 2: Going to be.

724
00:30:24,788 --> 00:30:26,428
Speaker 1: Do you think they couldn't kick out a decent one

725
00:30:26,468 --> 00:30:26,868
Speaker 1: like you do?

726
00:30:27,108 --> 00:30:29,068
Speaker 6: You don't think they could take a take on Quinn

727
00:30:29,068 --> 00:30:31,508
Speaker 6: Williams and his social media just as well as I

728
00:30:31,548 --> 00:30:35,588
Speaker 6: did during seven AM. I am one on the AI

729
00:30:35,868 --> 00:30:39,628
Speaker 6: excitement scale. There's nothing cool about chat. Even the thought

730
00:30:39,668 --> 00:30:42,028
Speaker 6: of having one of these robots write my term paper

731
00:30:42,148 --> 00:30:42,988
Speaker 6: would have scared me.

732
00:30:43,068 --> 00:30:45,908
Speaker 5: Then I don't like the idea of it. My last

733
00:30:45,908 --> 00:30:49,148
Speaker 5: piece on it had a chat GPT thing.

734
00:30:49,148 --> 00:30:53,348
Speaker 6: Do a monologue, like as if they were a st Yeah,

735
00:30:53,468 --> 00:30:55,308
Speaker 6: as if it was like one of the late night hosts.

736
00:30:55,788 --> 00:30:58,428
Speaker 6: Let's just say, if I'm concerned Jimmy Fallon and Jimmy

737
00:30:58,468 --> 00:31:02,308
Speaker 6: Kimme Ola Stephen Colberas, I'd be a little worried about

738
00:31:02,308 --> 00:31:03,268
Speaker 6: a killed. Yeah.

739
00:31:03,308 --> 00:31:04,628
Speaker 2: It was pretty funny.

740
00:31:05,068 --> 00:31:07,428
Speaker 5: Yeah, yeah, it was pretty funny.

741
00:31:07,468 --> 00:31:08,868
Speaker 2: Oh wow, it's pretty funny.

742
00:31:08,948 --> 00:31:11,028
Speaker 5: So I would just say that's my one on the score.

743
00:31:11,708 --> 00:31:13,988
Speaker 2: I just flew into studio. Boy, my arms are tired.

744
00:31:14,188 --> 00:31:16,068
Speaker 2: Got killed, but love it? Yeah?

745
00:31:16,268 --> 00:31:20,748
Speaker 5: Yeah, like racy and vulgar, Like wow, good AI. I

746
00:31:20,788 --> 00:31:22,628
Speaker 5: don't like you. AI, I'm sorry, I'm scared of you.

747
00:31:23,468 --> 00:31:26,828
Speaker 6: Number ten on the excitement scale, I got to experience

748
00:31:27,068 --> 00:31:30,988
Speaker 6: several different Nicks home playoff games the past few weeks.

749
00:31:31,028 --> 00:31:32,468
Speaker 5: I'm going to tell you ten on the.

750
00:31:32,508 --> 00:31:36,068
Speaker 6: Sciting scale is Madison Square Garden when it's alive with

751
00:31:36,148 --> 00:31:39,908
Speaker 6: playoff sports. I want everyone in this show, everyone in

752
00:31:39,948 --> 00:31:43,948
Speaker 6: this country to somehow experience that juice.

753
00:31:44,828 --> 00:31:47,068
Speaker 5: No, it's me in the sweatshirt above, the guy in

754
00:31:47,068 --> 00:31:47,388
Speaker 5: the wig.

755
00:31:47,588 --> 00:31:52,468
Speaker 6: That was the garden was alive for about three weeks

756
00:31:52,508 --> 00:31:56,228
Speaker 6: with Rangers and with Nicks, and it was so cool.

757
00:31:56,828 --> 00:31:56,948
Speaker 3: Uh.

758
00:31:57,108 --> 00:32:00,028
Speaker 6: The pandemic, obviously, is one reason why there hasn't been

759
00:32:00,028 --> 00:32:01,708
Speaker 6: this juice in the mat of the squirrel.

760
00:32:01,788 --> 00:32:03,468
Speaker 5: The O thing is the Knicks have been got awful

761
00:32:03,548 --> 00:32:06,228
Speaker 5: for about two decades. They were good again. It was fun.

762
00:32:06,588 --> 00:32:09,268
Speaker 6: Forget the celebrity part. I'm talking about the fans. Everyone

763
00:32:09,348 --> 00:32:11,828
Speaker 6: just feeling like every one is together and one thing.

764
00:32:12,228 --> 00:32:15,388
Speaker 6: I love seeing that in an enclosed environment, especially in

765
00:32:15,428 --> 00:32:18,028
Speaker 6: New York City, which has been dormant when it comes

766
00:32:18,068 --> 00:32:19,228

Speaker 10: Uh.

785
00:33:06,268 --> 00:33:09,348
Speaker 1: The the AI just traded Julius Randall. They made the decision.

786
00:33:09,428 --> 00:33:12,148
Speaker 1: He's gone. It's got not much picks.
