Good morning, Welcome to Good Morning Football. 3 00:00:28,028 --> 00:00:30,628 Speaker 1: We are live in New York City in this Friday, 4 00:00:30,908 --> 00:00:33,748 Speaker 1: July fifteenth. We have made it. My name is Rachel, 5 00:00:33,748 --> 00:00:36,388 Speaker 1: but not alongside Adam Rank, Tompeliso and our own DV 6 00:00:36,588 --> 00:00:40,308 Speaker 1: Darious Butler. There's something that I want to draw attention 7 00:00:40,348 --> 00:00:42,748 Speaker 1: to at this table right away. Do you guys like 8 00:00:43,148 --> 00:00:45,548 Speaker 1: have a cute little dinner last night and all decide 9 00:00:45,548 --> 00:00:49,508 Speaker 1: to wear the exact same thing? All three of you 10 00:00:49,828 --> 00:00:53,468 Speaker 1: today Team jackets yell are like the Spider Man's like 11 00:00:53,588 --> 00:00:56,308 Speaker 1: all three straight to the bowling alley. Huh and a 12 00:00:56,428 --> 00:00:59,668 Speaker 1: roll baby, Listen, I've gotten so many compliments on this outfit. 13 00:00:59,708 --> 00:01:02,548 Speaker 1: How many you guys gotten so hard today? Huh? That's 14 00:01:02,988 --> 00:01:05,228 Speaker 1: got a lot. We just opened up show talks. A 15 00:01:05,268 --> 00:01:09,668 Speaker 1: good point. Attention is good attention. Okay, let's talk about 16 00:01:09,668 --> 00:01:13,828 Speaker 1: some football. Lead block, lead block. One of the more 17 00:01:13,868 --> 00:01:16,988 Speaker 1: earth shattering moments of the offseason was the retirement and 18 00:01:17,028 --> 00:01:22,148 Speaker 1: then the unretirement of Tom Thorady Well. In a wide 19 00:01:22,228 --> 00:01:24,788 Speaker 1: ranging interview in Variety that came out yesterday, the Goat 20 00:01:24,828 --> 00:01:28,228 Speaker 1: spoke about when he's going to retire for real this time. 21 00:01:28,508 --> 00:01:30,948 Speaker 1: This is what he said. I would say, it's year 22 00:01:30,988 --> 00:01:33,908 Speaker 1: to year. Could this be my last year? Absolutely? Could 23 00:01:33,908 --> 00:01:37,028 Speaker 1: I change my mind? Absolutely? I realized I don't have 24 00:01:37,068 --> 00:01:39,348 Speaker 1: five years left. I want to do it my way. 25 00:01:39,428 --> 00:01:41,668 Speaker 1: I want to give it everything I got and see 26 00:01:41,708 --> 00:01:43,748 Speaker 1: where I'm at. My body feels really good. I've had 27 00:01:43,748 --> 00:01:46,548 Speaker 1: a lot of traumatic injuries over the years. But if 28 00:01:46,548 --> 00:01:51,068 Speaker 1: things go really smoothly and we win, that'd be great. 29 00:01:51,628 --> 00:01:53,748 Speaker 1: That would be great if you are a Tampa fan. 30 00:01:53,868 --> 00:01:56,788 Speaker 1: So how can that happen for Tom Brady? The Bucks 31 00:01:56,788 --> 00:02:00,668 Speaker 1: will reach the Super Bowl? If dot dot dot what happens? Well, 32 00:02:00,668 --> 00:02:03,428 Speaker 1: First of all, that quote just stresses me out because 33 00:02:03,428 --> 00:02:05,228 Speaker 1: I realized we're still going to be doing the Tom 34 00:02:05,228 --> 00:02:09,308 Speaker 1: Brady retirement on retirement dance for the foreseeable future. Great 35 00:02:09,388 --> 00:02:12,068 Speaker 1: quote that tells you absolutely nothing. He could do one 36 00:02:12,068 --> 00:02:14,828 Speaker 1: thing or he could do the other. Great fantastic update 37 00:02:14,868 --> 00:02:16,628 Speaker 1: from that. I would say this, you guys. You might 38 00:02:16,668 --> 00:02:19,588 Speaker 1: not have heard this, but Tom Brady's not young. Stop. 39 00:02:19,628 --> 00:02:23,948 Speaker 1: It turns forty five next month. Yet when you look 40 00:02:23,988 --> 00:02:27,348 Speaker 1: back at his twenty twenty one season, it was actually 41 00:02:27,428 --> 00:02:30,428 Speaker 1: better statistically than when he did in the twenty twenty 42 00:02:30,588 --> 00:02:34,228 Speaker 1: Super Bowl season. Bring up the numbers. They're thirteen win team. 43 00:02:34,548 --> 00:02:36,908 Speaker 1: In a higher percentage of his passes throwing for four yards, 44 00:02:36,988 --> 00:02:40,068 Speaker 1: he throws for forty plus touchdowns for a second consecutive season, 45 00:02:40,108 --> 00:02:44,388 Speaker 1: passing virtually identical. I remember he was healthier because in 46 00:02:44,468 --> 00:02:47,548 Speaker 1: twenty twenty he was coming off of the knee injury 47 00:02:47,548 --> 00:02:50,388 Speaker 1: that he really dealt with the entire season. Last year. 48 00:02:50,428 --> 00:02:53,188 Speaker 1: He's feeling a lot better. They obviously didn't make the 49 00:02:53,188 --> 00:02:55,588 Speaker 1: same run they did in the postseason. There's those weird 50 00:02:55,668 --> 00:02:58,308 Speaker 1: forty days in NFL history where Tom Brady's not playing. 51 00:02:58,388 --> 00:03:01,628 Speaker 1: Until he is playing, He's back. If he can continue 52 00:03:01,668 --> 00:03:04,148 Speaker 1: to play at that high level, there's no reason to 53 00:03:04,188 --> 00:03:07,468 Speaker 1: think that the Bucks can't go wherever he wants him again. Also, 54 00:03:07,508 --> 00:03:09,428 Speaker 1: you're saying the other day you really secretly don't want 55 00:03:09,468 --> 00:03:11,468 Speaker 1: him to retire because he's like the only quarterback Pence, 56 00:03:12,028 --> 00:03:13,988 Speaker 1: He's the only player older than me, I believe in 57 00:03:13,988 --> 00:03:18,588 Speaker 1: the NFL now, So it'll be a sad day every 58 00:03:18,628 --> 00:03:20,908 Speaker 1: single player to hold on as long as you can't. 59 00:03:21,228 --> 00:03:23,388 Speaker 1: I'm right there with you. If they stay healthy, you 60 00:03:23,388 --> 00:03:24,988 Speaker 1: know they can win the Super Bowl. Not worried about 61 00:03:25,028 --> 00:03:27,028 Speaker 1: Tom Brady, I think as long as he's out there playing, 62 00:03:27,308 --> 00:03:29,268 Speaker 1: he unretired for a reason. That's to come back and 63 00:03:29,268 --> 00:03:31,268 Speaker 1: win the Super Bowl. So if they stay healthy, that's 64 00:03:31,308 --> 00:03:33,628 Speaker 1: obviously going to be huge. And then Russell Gage. When 65 00:03:33,628 --> 00:03:35,988 Speaker 1: I think about that Super Bowl running back in twenty twenty, 66 00:03:36,068 --> 00:03:38,548 Speaker 1: I think about the players that made big plays. Antonio 67 00:03:38,628 --> 00:03:41,028 Speaker 1: Brown was one of those players. Russell Gage is gonna 68 00:03:41,068 --> 00:03:43,668 Speaker 1: have to come over and replace him. Jordan Whitehead who's 69 00:03:43,668 --> 00:03:45,948 Speaker 1: now in New York, the safety, he made a ton 70 00:03:45,988 --> 00:03:48,908 Speaker 1: of plays during that playoff run. They're gonna have to 71 00:03:48,908 --> 00:03:52,268 Speaker 1: replace him. Obviously, Grunt has retired again for a second time. 72 00:03:52,348 --> 00:03:54,828 Speaker 1: Cameron Brady's gonna have to step up and replace him 73 00:03:54,828 --> 00:03:56,588 Speaker 1: and be that guy. As far as tighten as, we 74 00:03:56,628 --> 00:03:59,148 Speaker 1: know how much Tom Brady loved those guys, especially when 75 00:03:59,188 --> 00:04:01,108 Speaker 1: it gets to the big game. So as long as 76 00:04:01,108 --> 00:04:03,868 Speaker 1: this team stays healthy. Obviously got a new head coach 77 00:04:03,908 --> 00:04:06,588 Speaker 1: of top Bow. At least they helped you got Tom Undersonder. 78 00:04:06,668 --> 00:04:08,588 Speaker 1: Obviously they got a great chance to get in that 79 00:04:08,668 --> 00:04:10,748 Speaker 1: big game. Yeah, I would follow along with that. I 80 00:04:10,788 --> 00:04:13,708 Speaker 1: think people still kind of overlook the fact of how 81 00:04:13,828 --> 00:04:17,468 Speaker 1: close they came last season. They had that furious rally 82 00:04:17,508 --> 00:04:20,748 Speaker 1: against the Rams that ultimately fell short. But you know 83 00:04:20,828 --> 00:04:22,828 Speaker 1: that was a team that was very close to getting 84 00:04:22,868 --> 00:04:25,068 Speaker 1: back into the super Bowl, so they made a big 85 00:04:25,108 --> 00:04:27,988 Speaker 1: to do last season. We have all twenty two guys left. 86 00:04:28,548 --> 00:04:30,108 Speaker 1: They went back and they made a run. And the 87 00:04:30,188 --> 00:04:32,588 Speaker 1: thing that ultimately cost him, I feel was the injuries, 88 00:04:32,668 --> 00:04:34,828 Speaker 1: especially to Chris Godwin. I think that's the one I 89 00:04:35,468 --> 00:04:39,228 Speaker 1: like all the complimentary pieces, people underestimate how good Chris 90 00:04:39,268 --> 00:04:41,588 Speaker 1: Godwin is. He just for whatever reason, seems to fly 91 00:04:41,708 --> 00:04:44,108 Speaker 1: underneath the radar. Perhaps it's because Mike Evans is so 92 00:04:44,148 --> 00:04:46,508 Speaker 1: good as well. Gronk draws a lot of attention. But 93 00:04:46,548 --> 00:04:49,028 Speaker 1: if this team is healthy, I don't see anybody in 94 00:04:49,028 --> 00:04:51,908 Speaker 1: the NFC, including the Rams, who are better than them. 95 00:04:51,988 --> 00:04:54,428 Speaker 1: I'm with you, guys, and Tom, especially with you. If 96 00:04:54,468 --> 00:04:58,308 Speaker 1: Tom Brady can be Tom Brady, what is stopping them? 97 00:04:58,308 --> 00:05:01,348 Speaker 1: And obviously he's come out of retirement, He's got the 98 00:05:01,388 --> 00:05:05,068 Speaker 1: most possible going on in his right now. I think 99 00:05:05,108 --> 00:05:07,228 Speaker 1: we've actually got a graphic of all the different jobs 100 00:05:07,228 --> 00:05:10,468 Speaker 1: and all the different interests of Tom Brady. Obviously he's 101 00:05:10,468 --> 00:05:14,068 Speaker 1: got TV twelve founder and investor. He's into crypto ladies 102 00:05:14,068 --> 00:05:18,708 Speaker 1: and gentlemen, he's a person where in doorser. I don't 103 00:05:18,708 --> 00:05:20,708 Speaker 1: know if you guys have seen this. He does incredible 104 00:05:20,708 --> 00:05:22,628 Speaker 1: work actor in Sandwich commercials. I don't know if you've 105 00:05:22,628 --> 00:05:26,028 Speaker 1: seen that. No, Tim eight House, rental car Pitchman. He's 106 00:05:26,068 --> 00:05:33,308 Speaker 1: in a movie this offseason which already looks amazing, had three. 107 00:05:33,428 --> 00:05:35,868 Speaker 1: He's obviously come back because he's got a mission and 108 00:05:35,908 --> 00:05:37,428 Speaker 1: he thinks that he can achieve it or else why 109 00:05:37,468 --> 00:05:40,068 Speaker 1: not go and make three hundred and seventy five million 110 00:05:40,148 --> 00:05:42,908 Speaker 1: dollars with Fox in his broadcasting deal. So I think 111 00:05:42,908 --> 00:05:45,588 Speaker 1: he saw how Peyton Manning ended his career with a 112 00:05:45,628 --> 00:05:48,388 Speaker 1: Super Bowl win but like not necessarily playing, but like 113 00:05:48,668 --> 00:05:50,548 Speaker 1: but got a Super Bowl win. I think Tom Brady 114 00:05:50,788 --> 00:05:52,868 Speaker 1: wants the one up that it's a great point too 115 00:05:52,908 --> 00:05:54,588 Speaker 1: that you guys made about the injuries they had, not 116 00:05:54,628 --> 00:05:57,188 Speaker 1: just Chris Godwin, but let's also remember whatever it was 117 00:05:57,228 --> 00:05:59,228 Speaker 1: that happened with Antonio Brown is not something that they 118 00:05:59,228 --> 00:06:01,668 Speaker 1: could have anticipated. One of your top players, one of 119 00:06:01,668 --> 00:06:05,788 Speaker 1: your highest volume targets, literally walking off the field during 120 00:06:05,828 --> 00:06:07,988 Speaker 1: the game. If Leonard Fournette was banged up down the 121 00:06:07,988 --> 00:06:10,268 Speaker 1: stretch they were bringing to brand Levy on Bell They're 122 00:06:10,308 --> 00:06:11,788 Speaker 1: just trying to patch the here the backfield. They had 123 00:06:11,828 --> 00:06:14,548 Speaker 1: a lot of different things, they created challenges and they 124 00:06:14,628 --> 00:06:16,628 Speaker 1: still went thirteen and four with a forty four year 125 00:06:16,668 --> 00:06:19,268 Speaker 1: old quarterbacks. Oh man, I cannot wait. Well, it is 126 00:06:19,308 --> 00:06:22,428 Speaker 1: deadline day. Franchise tag players have until four pm Eastern 127 00:06:22,468 --> 00:06:24,988 Speaker 1: to get a long term deal done. Tom, are we 128 00:06:25,068 --> 00:06:27,948 Speaker 1: going to get some action for the deadline? We said 129 00:06:27,948 --> 00:06:31,188 Speaker 1: it yesterday that there's not a lot of optimism about 130 00:06:31,188 --> 00:06:34,588 Speaker 1: really any of these deals getting done. So, as I 131 00:06:34,588 --> 00:06:37,788 Speaker 1: mentioned yesterday, Jesse Bates with the Bengals not expected to 132 00:06:37,828 --> 00:06:40,348 Speaker 1: get a deal done, Mike is Sicky with the Dolphins. 133 00:06:40,428 --> 00:06:44,588 Speaker 1: Dalton Schultz with the Cowboys also barring something unexpected, not 134 00:06:44,868 --> 00:06:47,428 Speaker 1: expected to get a deal done. Today, the one to 135 00:06:47,468 --> 00:06:50,508 Speaker 1: watch is going to be Orlando Brown, which is the 136 00:06:50,628 --> 00:06:53,428 Speaker 1: Chiefs left tackle. He made an agent change in the 137 00:06:53,468 --> 00:06:56,508 Speaker 1: off season. His new agent will be negotiating his first 138 00:06:56,668 --> 00:07:00,948 Speaker 1: NFL contract for Orlando Brown. That's a unique dynamic. Brown's 139 00:07:00,948 --> 00:07:03,108 Speaker 1: approach to this was my place should do the talking. 140 00:07:03,188 --> 00:07:05,548 Speaker 1: Doesn't matter who my agent is. I'm getting myself paid. 141 00:07:06,268 --> 00:07:08,708 Speaker 1: But he's also going to want that contract to be 142 00:07:09,028 --> 00:07:11,348 Speaker 1: at the top of the market. It's a lot to 143 00:07:11,348 --> 00:07:13,788 Speaker 1: invest The Chiefs have him right now for sixteen point 144 00:07:13,828 --> 00:07:16,388 Speaker 1: seven million dollars on the franchise tender. He has not 145 00:07:16,548 --> 00:07:19,068 Speaker 1: signed it, and, as our Mike Carafolo reported last week, 146 00:07:19,108 --> 00:07:21,108 Speaker 1: if they don't get a long term deal done today, 147 00:07:21,388 --> 00:07:23,348 Speaker 1: Brown could maybe not be there at the start of 148 00:07:23,428 --> 00:07:25,388 Speaker 1: training camp, perhaps not even be there at the start 149 00:07:25,428 --> 00:07:28,308 Speaker 1: of the regular season, which for a Chief team trying 150 00:07:28,308 --> 00:07:30,948 Speaker 1: to adjust after the departure Tyreek Hill would certainly be 151 00:07:31,308 --> 00:07:38,668 Speaker 1: another challenge. I'm curious, what is your favorite jersey that 152 00:07:38,748 --> 00:07:41,588 Speaker 1: you have worn in terms of style. Just gotta go 153 00:07:41,628 --> 00:07:43,388 Speaker 1: out and it's gonna make ring. Man. I gotta go 154 00:07:43,428 --> 00:07:46,268 Speaker 1: on that Patriots. That Patriots throwback that rid, it was, 155 00:07:46,908 --> 00:07:49,908 Speaker 1: it was clean. I got my first interception in the snow. 156 00:07:49,908 --> 00:07:54,988 Speaker 1: We blew out Tennessee Titans. Yeah, their throwback with the 157 00:07:55,068 --> 00:07:57,868 Speaker 1: blue helmet. Yeah, that will see it goes to Houston. 158 00:07:57,868 --> 00:08:01,948 Speaker 1: They wear the blue helmets that the Oilers. I think 159 00:08:01,948 --> 00:08:05,068 Speaker 1: it'd be cool. So your entire argument against the Patriots 160 00:08:05,068 --> 00:08:09,668 Speaker 1: throwback uniforms is inaccurate portrayal of revolutionary war history. Man. Yeah, 161 00:08:10,788 --> 00:08:13,908 Speaker 1: what do you taught? Yes, that's I don't know. What 162 00:08:13,948 --> 00:08:16,628 Speaker 1: do you want for me? Yes, that's exactly do you 163 00:08:16,668 --> 00:08:19,348 Speaker 1: also take the literal translations of other teams that the 164 00:08:19,388 --> 00:08:22,908 Speaker 1: Dolphins don't look like actual dolphins, but they put but 165 00:08:22,948 --> 00:08:28,268 Speaker 1: if they put no, no, no, If the Dolphins put 166 00:08:28,268 --> 00:08:30,508 Speaker 1: an orca on their helmet, I would be like, you 167 00:08:30,588 --> 00:08:33,428 Speaker 1: maybe don't do that. That's that's wrong. You would put 168 00:08:33,428 --> 00:08:35,308 Speaker 1: a dolphin on the helmet. You couldn't put a Dolphins 169 00:08:35,388 --> 00:08:38,948 Speaker 1: jersey on there. Throwback, there's a lot of nice if 170 00:08:38,948 --> 00:08:41,468 Speaker 1: there was an NFL only one, there's a list that 171 00:08:41,548 --> 00:08:44,108 Speaker 1: I had. It was NFL the Dolphins wary. The dolphin 172 00:08:44,228 --> 00:08:46,068 Speaker 1: is wearing a helmet. Do you have a problem with 173 00:08:46,068 --> 00:08:48,828 Speaker 1: the dolphin on the old logo? Dolphins wear the helmet? 174 00:08:49,508 --> 00:08:53,908 Speaker 1: The Dolphins helmet inaccurate the uniform. Actually it was because 175 00:08:53,908 --> 00:08:56,468 Speaker 1: if Flipper was in the end zone. I don't understand 176 00:08:56,508 --> 00:08:58,868 Speaker 1: why the helmet didn't have the logo of a dolphin 177 00:08:59,388 --> 00:09:03,388 Speaker 1: wearing a helmet. That logo, right, and then another one 178 00:09:03,028 --> 00:09:09,228 Speaker 1: and small some football. Enough of this time, Time for 179 00:09:09,308 --> 00:09:14,108 Speaker 1: the lead. Lamar Jackson's been trending on Twitter basically all week. 180 00:09:14,108 --> 00:09:15,988 Speaker 1: We've been talking about it NonStop. First it was the 181 00:09:16,348 --> 00:09:20,028 Speaker 1: I Need Money Twitter banner, and then he was snubbed 182 00:09:20,268 --> 00:09:23,828 Speaker 1: from a top ten Quarterbacks list and former Raven Bernard 183 00:09:23,868 --> 00:09:26,508 Speaker 1: Pollard got into a length feedback and forth with Lamar. 184 00:09:26,548 --> 00:09:28,988 Speaker 1: We're gonna spare you some of the insults, but here 185 00:09:28,988 --> 00:09:33,348 Speaker 1: are the highlights. Pollard wrote, no top wide receiver will 186 00:09:33,388 --> 00:09:36,188 Speaker 1: ever come there while LJ is there. Plenty of wide 187 00:09:36,188 --> 00:09:39,548 Speaker 1: receivers have been available to get in the off season 188 00:09:39,628 --> 00:09:42,068 Speaker 1: while LJ has been starting, but nobody wants to go. 189 00:09:42,148 --> 00:09:43,788 Speaker 1: They give him the respect, but they don't want to 190 00:09:43,828 --> 00:09:46,068 Speaker 1: play with him. LJ is good, but he's not able 191 00:09:46,108 --> 00:09:47,748 Speaker 1: to make the throws. Okay, So that was the first 192 00:09:47,788 --> 00:09:50,268 Speaker 1: year that was setting this all off. Lamar was pretty 193 00:09:50,268 --> 00:09:53,308 Speaker 1: dismissive of the Super Bowl champ with a lot of crying, 194 00:09:53,468 --> 00:09:56,748 Speaker 1: laughing emojis. He loves his emojis. Nobody speak of you. 195 00:09:56,908 --> 00:09:59,388 Speaker 1: I had to google you, little bra. I never heard 196 00:09:59,428 --> 00:10:01,668 Speaker 1: of you until I see you keep dishing like you 197 00:10:02,108 --> 00:10:05,308 Speaker 1: was a Hall of Famer, but you far from it 198 00:10:05,628 --> 00:10:10,268 Speaker 1: across the ocean, like overseas. I like that part, okay. 199 00:10:10,308 --> 00:10:12,228 Speaker 1: Then Hollywood Brown chimed in, of course, to defend his 200 00:10:12,268 --> 00:10:15,588 Speaker 1: former quarterback. The narrative they're trying to create on my 201 00:10:15,668 --> 00:10:18,148 Speaker 1: dog is ridiculous. He can run the show in any 202 00:10:18,148 --> 00:10:20,788 Speaker 1: type of offense. He just so happens to be in 203 00:10:20,828 --> 00:10:23,348 Speaker 1: the one he is in and doing it at a 204 00:10:23,508 --> 00:10:25,948 Speaker 1: top level, by the way, and every wide receiver who 205 00:10:25,988 --> 00:10:28,668 Speaker 1: has ever played with him knows that. Okay, there's a 206 00:10:28,788 --> 00:10:32,588 Speaker 1: ton to unpack here. It went on lots of emojis, 207 00:10:32,748 --> 00:10:34,788 Speaker 1: and on top of it all, we are still waiting 208 00:10:34,828 --> 00:10:38,588 Speaker 1: on that long term contract. But is there any truth 209 00:10:38,668 --> 00:10:41,788 Speaker 1: to some of the criticism directed towards Lamar Jackson? By 210 00:10:41,828 --> 00:10:44,308 Speaker 1: the way he does, He's been known to watch this 211 00:10:44,348 --> 00:10:47,108 Speaker 1: show and respond toble that we have said when I've 212 00:10:47,108 --> 00:10:50,148 Speaker 1: been hosting, So like, let's just speak here before before 213 00:10:50,148 --> 00:10:52,468 Speaker 1: I've been getting too that the tweet obviously, you hate 214 00:10:52,508 --> 00:10:54,708 Speaker 1: to see that on a public form, you know, old 215 00:10:54,948 --> 00:10:58,948 Speaker 1: Raven talking to the new Raven. But is the criticism 216 00:10:58,948 --> 00:11:01,348 Speaker 1: fair Lamar Jackson, Yes, it's fair. Can he be a 217 00:11:01,388 --> 00:11:04,388 Speaker 1: better pass or can he win in the playoffs? Yeah? 218 00:11:04,588 --> 00:11:06,468 Speaker 1: He can do all those things. And you can say 219 00:11:06,468 --> 00:11:09,188 Speaker 1: that about thirty other quarterbacks in the league as well. 220 00:11:09,188 --> 00:11:11,588 Speaker 1: And if you stack up Lamar Jackson's resume against the 221 00:11:11,628 --> 00:11:14,748 Speaker 1: other guys, he's a cut above head and shoulders. I mean, 222 00:11:14,788 --> 00:11:18,388 Speaker 1: you got a unanimous MVP. His winning percentage is unbelievable. 223 00:11:18,468 --> 00:11:20,948 Speaker 1: It's not a quarterback stack, you know, until you know 224 00:11:20,948 --> 00:11:23,268 Speaker 1: I wanted to be. From my argument, so Lamar Jackson 225 00:11:23,348 --> 00:11:26,228 Speaker 1: his legs, he's dynamic, and the reasons receivers may not 226 00:11:26,308 --> 00:11:28,108 Speaker 1: want to come to that offense. It's probably some truth 227 00:11:28,108 --> 00:11:30,228 Speaker 1: to that, but it's the style of the offense. I 228 00:11:30,228 --> 00:11:32,588 Speaker 1: think that offense needs to evolve as well. This guy's 229 00:11:32,668 --> 00:11:36,188 Speaker 1: led the league in touchdown passes from the pocket. I 230 00:11:36,308 --> 00:11:39,428 Speaker 1: watched the film, I watched Quarterbacks. He identifies coverages, he 231 00:11:39,468 --> 00:11:42,828 Speaker 1: identifies blissings, protections. Lamar does everything you want a quarterback 232 00:11:42,868 --> 00:11:44,948 Speaker 1: to do, and he's only trajector to be one of 233 00:11:44,988 --> 00:11:47,828 Speaker 1: the all time greats. Follow ups one, wasn't your top 234 00:11:47,868 --> 00:11:50,108 Speaker 1: button button for the first hour of the show? And 235 00:11:50,228 --> 00:11:55,188 Speaker 1: number two when you see the former players going after 236 00:11:55,348 --> 00:11:58,388 Speaker 1: the current players on social media? As a former player, 237 00:11:58,468 --> 00:12:00,988 Speaker 1: recent former, how does that strike it? I hate it? 238 00:12:01,028 --> 00:12:03,068 Speaker 1: You know if you're coming from a and that depends 239 00:12:03,108 --> 00:12:05,388 Speaker 1: also in the context. If you're know if Bernar Paula 240 00:12:05,508 --> 00:12:07,508 Speaker 1: was sitting on the podcast, say for instance, like the 241 00:12:07,548 --> 00:12:09,988 Speaker 1: Man and Man Pot Pot with Antoinete, if he was 242 00:12:09,988 --> 00:12:13,308 Speaker 1: sitting there talking for forty five and along, you can 243 00:12:13,308 --> 00:12:15,268 Speaker 1: get kind of caught in that conversation. Maybe say, think 244 00:12:15,348 --> 00:12:17,108 Speaker 1: something that doesn't come off right. But if you tweet 245 00:12:17,188 --> 00:12:20,428 Speaker 1: something out that's that's that's more. Hey, that's that's gonna 246 00:12:20,468 --> 00:12:22,868 Speaker 1: stay out there and you're looking forward response almost and 247 00:12:23,548 --> 00:12:25,228 Speaker 1: you know, he barked up that tree and he got 248 00:12:25,228 --> 00:12:28,588 Speaker 1: what he wanted once a younger guy, little broju. That's 249 00:12:28,628 --> 00:12:31,028 Speaker 1: the ultimate level of disrespect right there. But like I said, 250 00:12:31,028 --> 00:12:32,988 Speaker 1: I hate to see it as a former player, keep 251 00:12:33,068 --> 00:12:35,148 Speaker 1: that ton of stuff in house, but um, it is 252 00:12:35,188 --> 00:12:37,868 Speaker 1: what it is. Yeah, I don't. I never liked the 253 00:12:38,268 --> 00:12:41,468 Speaker 1: disrespect that Lamar Jackson has received ever since he's stepped 254 00:12:41,468 --> 00:12:44,708 Speaker 1: into the NFL and people insinuating that he's not an 255 00:12:44,748 --> 00:12:47,468 Speaker 1: actual quarterback or anything like that. What he does is 256 00:12:47,468 --> 00:12:49,908 Speaker 1: he goes out and he runs Greg Roman's offense that 257 00:12:49,948 --> 00:12:52,788 Speaker 1: has been very successful in the NFL. It has taken 258 00:12:52,868 --> 00:12:56,308 Speaker 1: multiple teams or has taken the team do the Super Bowl. 259 00:12:56,748 --> 00:12:59,508 Speaker 1: And the thing is is that this offense is designed 260 00:12:59,908 --> 00:13:02,268 Speaker 1: for the tight end. Mark Andrews is the guy who 261 00:13:02,388 --> 00:13:04,548 Speaker 1: is gonna benefit because of the way the offense. It's 262 00:13:04,548 --> 00:13:07,428 Speaker 1: a schemed up. I don't think that it's wide receivers 263 00:13:07,468 --> 00:13:09,388 Speaker 1: not wanting to play there or anything like that. I 264 00:13:09,388 --> 00:13:10,988 Speaker 1: think there's a ton of guys who would love to 265 00:13:11,028 --> 00:13:14,788 Speaker 1: go play with Lamar Jackson. And that's just a terrible insinuation. 266 00:13:14,828 --> 00:13:17,108 Speaker 1: And I don't like when the former players like that. 267 00:13:17,668 --> 00:13:19,508 Speaker 1: That doesn't need to be handled. Like you said in 268 00:13:19,548 --> 00:13:21,588 Speaker 1: a public why are you talking like that? And where 269 00:13:21,588 --> 00:13:24,388 Speaker 1: are the other Ravens? Where are the where's you know 270 00:13:24,468 --> 00:13:26,988 Speaker 1: ray Lewis or Ed Reid like talking like stop saying 271 00:13:26,988 --> 00:13:29,628 Speaker 1: this stuff. It's not it's a it's an awful look. 272 00:13:29,668 --> 00:13:31,548 Speaker 1: And I think it better when current players are tweeting 273 00:13:31,548 --> 00:13:35,268 Speaker 1: because then it's just like, oh, can't wait and as 274 00:13:35,308 --> 00:13:37,828 Speaker 1: an extra element of like fire. When Lamar came in 275 00:13:37,828 --> 00:13:41,108 Speaker 1: the league in the twenty eighteen draft, one of the 276 00:13:41,148 --> 00:13:45,308 Speaker 1: knocks on him was just the inconsistency of his accuracy. 277 00:13:45,428 --> 00:13:48,828 Speaker 1: He could make flash throws, but then he would miss throws. 278 00:13:49,068 --> 00:13:51,268 Speaker 1: And that was part of the conversation because he is 279 00:13:51,308 --> 00:13:53,868 Speaker 1: such a tremendous athlete of should he work out as 280 00:13:53,868 --> 00:13:55,868 Speaker 1: a wide receiver because she try at a different position. 281 00:13:56,188 --> 00:13:59,308 Speaker 1: But talk to any defensive coordinator who's faced them, talk 282 00:13:59,348 --> 00:14:01,308 Speaker 1: to any front office person who's really broken down Lamar. 283 00:14:01,348 --> 00:14:04,028 Speaker 1: Everyone will tell you Lamar is one of those rare 284 00:14:04,028 --> 00:14:07,428 Speaker 1: players who really has improved as a passer. He is 285 00:14:07,468 --> 00:14:09,868 Speaker 1: a better passer now than he was when he came 286 00:14:09,868 --> 00:14:12,628 Speaker 1: into the league. Could he, as Hollywood Brown said, run 287 00:14:12,668 --> 00:14:17,308 Speaker 1: any offense? Perhaps, but why would you do that. Kyle 288 00:14:17,348 --> 00:14:19,788 Speaker 1: Shanahan has a very specific type offense he runs. But 289 00:14:19,788 --> 00:14:22,548 Speaker 1: when he had Robert Griffin the third he utilized certain 290 00:14:22,588 --> 00:14:24,468 Speaker 1: elements and put in the zone read and things that 291 00:14:24,508 --> 00:14:27,108 Speaker 1: they hadn't done. Why, because you gear everything you do 292 00:14:27,308 --> 00:14:30,188 Speaker 1: around the quarterback. He would be doing a disservice to 293 00:14:30,268 --> 00:14:32,708 Speaker 1: Lamar Jackson to say, you know what, all the designed runs, 294 00:14:32,948 --> 00:14:34,908 Speaker 1: all the scrambled drill type things, We're gonna take all 295 00:14:34,948 --> 00:14:37,508 Speaker 1: that out. We're not gonna play precision, old school nineteen 296 00:14:37,588 --> 00:14:39,628 Speaker 1: ninety West Coast offense right now? Why why would you 297 00:14:39,628 --> 00:14:41,748 Speaker 1: ever do that? But to the extent that you know, 298 00:14:41,788 --> 00:14:45,228 Speaker 1: you have Hollywood Brown chiming in. Remember, Hollywood Brown wanted 299 00:14:45,268 --> 00:14:46,948 Speaker 1: out because he wanted to go to a place where 300 00:14:46,948 --> 00:14:50,028 Speaker 1: he'd have more targets as a wide receiver. It's not 301 00:14:50,108 --> 00:14:53,228 Speaker 1: about what Lamar Cannon can't do. It's as you said, 302 00:14:53,268 --> 00:14:55,268 Speaker 1: it's the style of offense they were un They're going 303 00:14:55,308 --> 00:14:58,028 Speaker 1: to run the football they're gonna play physical, they're gonna 304 00:14:58,068 --> 00:15:00,028 Speaker 1: get the ball to the tight ends. You can still 305 00:15:00,068 --> 00:15:02,628 Speaker 1: be productive in that Ravens offense as a wide receiver, 306 00:15:02,668 --> 00:15:04,788 Speaker 1: but they're never gonna be You're not to be Davanta 307 00:15:04,828 --> 00:15:06,868 Speaker 1: Adams get one hundred sixty target, it's gonna say, or 308 00:15:06,948 --> 00:15:09,068 Speaker 1: just the money, Like you look at the guy and 309 00:15:09,068 --> 00:15:12,468 Speaker 1: that's getting money this offseason. It's all these wide receivers 310 00:15:12,468 --> 00:15:16,588 Speaker 1: who are in high profile, high profile passing offenses right 311 00:15:16,628 --> 00:15:19,788 Speaker 1: now and Lamarket being in the passing offense and what 312 00:15:19,948 --> 00:15:22,908 Speaker 1: lamar his legs. It makes you, as a defensive player 313 00:15:22,908 --> 00:15:26,068 Speaker 1: and as a defensive play caller be more simple, like 314 00:15:26,108 --> 00:15:28,788 Speaker 1: I gotta have more zone. I gotta have eyes on 315 00:15:28,908 --> 00:15:31,068 Speaker 1: the quarterback. I can't run a lot of man coverages 316 00:15:31,108 --> 00:15:32,908 Speaker 1: with backs to the quarterback because he can it could 317 00:15:32,908 --> 00:15:35,108 Speaker 1: be a pass play, but anytime he can drop it 318 00:15:35,108 --> 00:15:38,468 Speaker 1: down and run fifty sixty yards, you're not tackling this guy. 319 00:15:38,508 --> 00:15:39,948 Speaker 1: He's that's only twenty five. He strikes me as the 320 00:15:40,028 --> 00:15:41,708 Speaker 1: kind of guy to like see this kind of back 321 00:15:41,708 --> 00:15:44,108 Speaker 1: and forth online. He's like, I'm gonna show you. But 322 00:15:44,188 --> 00:15:46,588 Speaker 1: also he just he shouldn't care. Ever since he started 323 00:15:46,588 --> 00:15:48,828 Speaker 1: in the League. Everyone's like, well, this isn't gonna last long, 324 00:15:48,868 --> 00:15:51,788 Speaker 1: this style of play. But here he is, twenty five, 325 00:15:52,068 --> 00:15:54,468 Speaker 1: still doing the thing, about to make a ton of money. Like, 326 00:15:54,708 --> 00:15:58,428 Speaker 1: good for him. We're all here, we're all here. Yeah, 327 00:15:58,828 --> 00:16:01,188 Speaker 1: we talked about to give something to talk about. I 328 00:16:01,228 --> 00:16:02,948 Speaker 1: love I love the back and forth. Well, and if 329 00:16:02,948 --> 00:16:04,908 Speaker 1: you have a concern, it's the fact that last year 330 00:16:04,948 --> 00:16:06,468 Speaker 1: he was hurt at the end of the season. It's 331 00:16:06,508 --> 00:16:09,148 Speaker 1: the final handful of games because of a bone bruise 332 00:16:09,188 --> 00:16:11,668 Speaker 1: in his ankle. If you're running and you're taking a 333 00:16:11,708 --> 00:16:13,468 Speaker 1: few more hits, even though he does a remarkable job 334 00:16:13,548 --> 00:16:15,908 Speaker 1: not getting hit, but if you're playing a certain style, 335 00:16:15,988 --> 00:16:18,268 Speaker 1: you're exposed a little bit more. You wonder about the 336 00:16:18,348 --> 00:16:20,548 Speaker 1: injuries adding up. But that's all the more reason that 337 00:16:20,708 --> 00:16:23,268 Speaker 1: a player would have wanted to get a contract extension done. 338 00:16:23,268 --> 00:16:25,748 Speaker 1: In Lamar Jackson situation a year ago, when he was 339 00:16:25,788 --> 00:16:28,108 Speaker 1: doing one point seven million, he played that out. He 340 00:16:28,108 --> 00:16:30,188 Speaker 1: doesn't have an agent. This year he's doing twenty three 341 00:16:30,268 --> 00:16:33,028 Speaker 1: point eight million or something like that, So you know, 342 00:16:33,028 --> 00:16:34,908 Speaker 1: whether a deal gets done or not, he's obviously getting 343 00:16:34,908 --> 00:16:40,948 Speaker 1: a massive race. Yeah, But our next guest has been 344 00:16:40,988 --> 00:16:44,068 Speaker 1: a good friend of good Morning Football since the beginning. 345 00:16:44,068 --> 00:16:48,148 Speaker 1: He's a stand up comedian whose new special, Nocturnal Admissions Careful, 346 00:16:48,628 --> 00:16:52,148 Speaker 1: is out right now on Netflix and is listen.

As for that other team 380 00:18:37,668 --> 00:18:40,988 Speaker 1: in New York, Yeah, Jets certainly have some hype about 381 00:18:41,028 --> 00:18:43,668 Speaker 1: their draft. In the first round picks that they got, 382 00:18:43,788 --> 00:18:46,588 Speaker 1: they got a young quarterback in Zach Wilson. They're very 383 00:18:46,628 --> 00:18:49,588 Speaker 1: excited about what do you think are realistic expectations for 384 00:18:49,628 --> 00:18:52,188 Speaker 1: the Jets. Look, before I trashed the Jets, I just 385 00:18:52,268 --> 00:18:54,508 Speaker 1: want to say that I'm a New York Knicks fan 386 00:18:54,708 --> 00:18:58,788 Speaker 1: and I'm delusional there too, So I understand people that 387 00:18:58,828 --> 00:19:01,988 Speaker 1: are delusional with the Jets, and I'm delusional like with 388 00:19:02,028 --> 00:19:04,188 Speaker 1: the Knicks. Yeah, Like if they're like, oh, Steph Curry 389 00:19:04,228 --> 00:19:06,068 Speaker 1: was a scene at JFK, I'm like, he's coming, He's 390 00:19:06,068 --> 00:19:08,108 Speaker 1: coming now.

He's coming. He's gonna take a meeting 393 00:19:12,548 --> 00:19:15,028 Speaker 1: with the With the Knicks, the Jets do the same thing. 394 00:19:15,068 --> 00:19:17,068 Speaker 1: You get excited, you think something's good. It's like a 395 00:19:17,068 --> 00:19:19,588 Speaker 1: crazy ex girlfriend, right, and then she calls you back 396 00:19:19,588 --> 00:19:21,948 Speaker 1: and she's like, look, I went to therapy. Things are better. 397 00:19:22,028 --> 00:19:24,588 Speaker 1: It's gonna be okay. I'm telling you, I'm not going 398 00:19:24,628 --> 00:19:27,788 Speaker 1: to do that to your car anymore. Every and then 399 00:19:27,828 --> 00:19:29,708 Speaker 1: it happens, you have a fight, and then your car's 400 00:19:29,748 --> 00:19:33,228 Speaker 1: trashed again. So until the Knicks and the Jets do something, 401 00:19:33,388 --> 00:19:36,028 Speaker 1: I can't hear it. I can't hear it, right, you gotta, 402 00:19:36,068 --> 00:19:39,308 Speaker 1: you gotta.

What's 409 00:19:55,388 --> 00:19:58,188 Speaker 1: your thoughts on a quarterback position down there, Carolina. That's 410 00:19:58,188 --> 00:20:01,908 Speaker 1: how dead the NFL is right now. That's the biggest news, 411 00:20:03,188 --> 00:20:06,468 Speaker 1: biggest story of the mus deal with the fall. We 412 00:20:06,508 --> 00:20:13,228 Speaker 1: can't put on a Netflix special. You gotta dig deep sometimes, Yeah, 413 00:20:13,428 --> 00:20:15,948 Speaker 1: biggest news. Baker may feel moved. Well, listen, I'm glad 414 00:20:16,068 --> 00:20:18,268 Speaker 1: he got out of Cleveland. Listen. I love Cleveland. Cleveland 415 00:20:18,268 --> 00:20:22,148 Speaker 1: fans are great. I don't want to gotta sell ticket. Yeah, 416 00:20:22,588 --> 00:20:24,708 Speaker 1: you know, leaving Cleveland to go to Carolina is not 417 00:20:24,788 --> 00:20:27,908 Speaker 1: the worst thing. Um. I just feel bad for Donald 418 00:20:27,908 --> 00:20:29,548 Speaker 1: because he kind of looked like he was getting it 419 00:20:29,548 --> 00:20:31,388 Speaker 1: together a little bit, and now all of a sudden, 420 00:20:31,388 --> 00:20:34,508 Speaker 1: they're like, I guess that's the business of the NFL. UM. 421 00:20:34,548 --> 00:20:36,228 Speaker 1: I hope he does good, though. I like Baker because 422 00:20:36,268 --> 00:20:38,148 Speaker 1: Baker's got a little bit of that, you know, he 423 00:20:38,188 --> 00:20:40,468 Speaker 1: reminds me of a New York trash talker a little bit. 424 00:20:40,508 --> 00:20:42,748 Speaker 1: He's got that in him, I think, you know, and 425 00:20:42,788 --> 00:20:44,668 Speaker 1: I know some people love about him. Yeah, some people 426 00:20:44,708 --> 00:20:46,588 Speaker 1: don't like it because he's like a little too much. 427 00:20:46,588 --> 00:20:48,948 Speaker 1: But I think if he goes there and wins, I 428 00:20:48,988 --> 00:20:51,548 Speaker 1: think it's gotta suck for Donald though. Yeah, just be 429 00:20:51,588 --> 00:20:57,228 Speaker 1: like really, you know, started with the Jets. He's making 430 00:20:57,268 --> 00:20:59,308 Speaker 1: more money, still make more money than Baker this year. 431 00:20:59,748 --> 00:21:02,068 Speaker 1: Oh interesting, Okay, Well, yesterday on the show, we were 432 00:21:02,108 --> 00:21:04,908 Speaker 1: talking about weird habits. We haven't at him. He shared 433 00:21:04,988 --> 00:21:07,988 Speaker 1: something fascinating. He basically said that he was un nervous. 434 00:21:08,388 --> 00:21:14,748 Speaker 1: We didn't get the rights for specifically. Yeah, so we're 435 00:21:14,748 --> 00:21:18,308 Speaker 1: gonna play a little game acceptable or unacceptable. The phrase 436 00:21:18,828 --> 00:21:23,548 Speaker 1: nervous tinkler acceptable unacceptable. You know. I thought about this 437 00:21:23,588 --> 00:21:27,908 Speaker 1: for a while, and it's you have it's so unacceptable 438 00:21:28,308 --> 00:21:31,348 Speaker 1: that it's actually accepting you because you know what I mean, 439 00:21:31,348 --> 00:21:34,508 Speaker 1: it's because you're that secure with yourself that you could 440 00:21:34,548 --> 00:21:38,548 Speaker 1: say nervous tinkler on a football show and be fine 441 00:21:38,548 --> 00:21:41,068 Speaker 1: with it.

And seriously, seriously, it's 445 00:21:50,228 --> 00:21:53,468 Speaker 1: a habit. I have nervous tinkling because I was opening 446 00:21:53,468 --> 00:21:57,628 Speaker 1: for you or where you know. No, I'm just saying, like, 447 00:21:57,748 --> 00:22:00,348 Speaker 1: you know, there's a guy that the clocks there, you're running, 448 00:22:00,428 --> 00:22:02,188 Speaker 1: you can set it up and you know how much 449 00:22:02,188 --> 00:22:03,508 Speaker 1: time you have before you got to go out there. 450 00:22:03,668 --> 00:22:06,468 Speaker 1: Sometimes you gotta right.

I mean? 457 00:22:19,668 --> 00:22:21,588 Speaker 1: I was okay with the noun, but now you're turned 458 00:22:21,628 --> 00:22:24,668 Speaker 1: into a verb and I'm uncomfortable. Now it's taking a 459 00:22:24,708 --> 00:22:27,748 Speaker 1: weird turn. I say acceptable because you're that secure with yourself. 460 00:22:27,748 --> 00:22:29,548 Speaker 1: You say it.

We'll 495 00:23:59,228 --> 00:24:02,028 Speaker 1: go to another quarterback back MVP Aaron Rodger. On Monday, 496 00:24:02,068 --> 00:24:07,308 Speaker 1: we gave Tholso Aaron Rodgers first tattoo. Um, what's your 497 00:24:07,348 --> 00:24:12,068 Speaker 1: thoughts on unacceptable or acceptable? Aaron Rodgers first? Ink? I 498 00:24:12,108 --> 00:24:14,388 Speaker 1: love Aaron Rodgers and he's come to a show that 499 00:24:14,508 --> 00:24:16,628 Speaker 1: I was on in Green Bay and he was so 500 00:24:16,708 --> 00:24:19,228 Speaker 1: cool and he's a comedy fan. So Aaron, if you're watching, 501 00:24:19,268 --> 00:24:22,068 Speaker 1: but listen, only Aaron Rodgers would get a tatoo. You 502 00:24:22,108 --> 00:24:24,068 Speaker 1: gotta think about, Okay, why does it look like a 503 00:24:24,068 --> 00:24:27,188 Speaker 1: math equation. It's like just the lions are hidden and 504 00:24:27,268 --> 00:24:29,348 Speaker 1: should just get a bird or a lion, show its 505 00:24:29,348 --> 00:24:31,628 Speaker 1: fangs and be done with it. Like everybody else. This 506 00:24:31,628 --> 00:24:34,388 Speaker 1: guy's got a diagram, he's getting a little eccentric.

Hey, welcome back. 527 00:25:39,588 --> 00:25:42,948 Speaker 1: Continuing a segment we are calling the Checklist, breaking down 528 00:25:42,948 --> 00:25:45,548 Speaker 1: the top three things each team needs to do to 529 00:25:45,588 --> 00:25:47,748 Speaker 1: find success in twenty twenty two. Yesterday we hit the 530 00:25:47,828 --> 00:25:50,548 Speaker 1: NFC West. Today it is the AFC North turn. This 531 00:25:50,668 --> 00:25:54,148 Speaker 1: segment has been chaotic all week long. It has been chaotic. Okay, 532 00:25:54,188 --> 00:25:56,468 Speaker 1: let's start it off on a good note. Okay, let's 533 00:25:56,548 --> 00:25:59,708 Speaker 1: let the graphics shine. All people can read things. Adam. 534 00:25:59,868 --> 00:26:02,348 Speaker 1: You are going to the Bengals. What do they need 535 00:26:02,388 --> 00:26:04,188 Speaker 1: to do to find success in twenty twenty two? All right, 536 00:26:04,228 --> 00:26:06,428 Speaker 1: thanks so much for having me. Let's talk about the 537 00:26:06,468 --> 00:26:11,908 Speaker 1: Cincinnati Bengals, the defending AFC champions. Let's take a look 538 00:26:11,908 --> 00:26:14,148 Speaker 1: at the checklist that I have provided for them. And 539 00:26:14,268 --> 00:26:16,108 Speaker 1: I just want to put this right out of the way. 540 00:26:16,348 --> 00:26:19,268 Speaker 1: W What are you talking about here? I just want 541 00:26:19,308 --> 00:26:24,028 Speaker 1: him Oh sorry, sorry, that's right. First thing, ye protect 542 00:26:24,188 --> 00:26:27,268 Speaker 1: Joe Burrow. This is the most important issue facing the 543 00:26:27,348 --> 00:26:30,828 Speaker 1: Cincinnati Bengals this season. Last year, he led the NFL 544 00:26:31,268 --> 00:26:34,988 Speaker 1: in completion percentage, passing yards per attempt, but he was 545 00:26:35,028 --> 00:26:39,668 Speaker 1: sacked seventy times including the playoffs. In NFL history, the 546 00:26:39,668 --> 00:26:42,188 Speaker 1: only guys who were sacked Moore were our David Carr 547 00:26:42,308 --> 00:26:46,068 Speaker 1: and Randal Cunningham, and those guys did not have good seasons. 548 00:26:46,068 --> 00:26:48,468 Speaker 1: They were five and fifteen combined. Of course, Joe Burrow 549 00:26:48,508 --> 00:26:50,988 Speaker 1: did go to the Super Bowl. In that Super Bowl game, 550 00:26:51,028 --> 00:26:54,348 Speaker 1: he tied in an NFL record with being sacked seven times. 551 00:26:54,388 --> 00:26:57,188 Speaker 1: Aaron Donald sacked him on the last play of the game, 552 00:26:57,268 --> 00:26:59,788 Speaker 1: or at least the pressure caused that place. You got 553 00:26:59,788 --> 00:27:02,828 Speaker 1: to protect Joe Burrow number two. Keep improving. This is 554 00:27:02,908 --> 00:27:06,068 Speaker 1: most important on the defensive side of the football. Last 555 00:27:06,108 --> 00:27:09,228 Speaker 1: year they made a heavy investment in free agency, bringing 556 00:27:09,268 --> 00:27:11,388 Speaker 1: in a number of guys who helped play a big 557 00:27:11,428 --> 00:27:15,188 Speaker 1: part in getting that defense to improve. And one of 558 00:27:15,188 --> 00:27:17,628 Speaker 1: the big keys was in that game against the Kansas 559 00:27:17,628 --> 00:27:21,268 Speaker 1: City Chiefs, they made a second half adjustment that absolutely 560 00:27:21,308 --> 00:27:24,828 Speaker 1: flustered Patrick Mahomes. So as much love as we give 561 00:27:24,868 --> 00:27:28,388 Speaker 1: to the Cincinnati Bengals offensively Joe Burrow, it was the 562 00:27:28,468 --> 00:27:31,428 Speaker 1: defense that probably saved the day for them in the 563 00:27:31,468 --> 00:27:35,508 Speaker 1: AFC Championship game. And finally, don't get full of yourselves. 564 00:27:35,828 --> 00:27:38,268 Speaker 1: The NFL is full of teams that have been one 565 00:27:38,348 --> 00:27:40,548 Speaker 1: and done in Super Bowls. You don't want to be 566 00:27:40,548 --> 00:27:44,148 Speaker 1: like Matt Ryan. You don't want to be Jared Goff. 567 00:27:44,148 --> 00:27:45,428 Speaker 1: You don't want to get Joe burd Do you want 568 00:27:45,428 --> 00:27:48,428 Speaker 1: to get traded to Detroit? That would you want our life? No? 569 00:27:48,868 --> 00:27:50,668 Speaker 1: Do you want to be the Miss? You want to 570 00:27:50,708 --> 00:27:52,628 Speaker 1: be the one and done like the Miss where you 571 00:27:52,668 --> 00:27:57,628 Speaker 1: are once a WrestleMania main inventor, now you're doing reality TV? 572 00:27:58,308 --> 00:27:59,988 Speaker 1: What is that all about? By the way, as Sam 573 00:28:00,028 --> 00:28:02,748 Speaker 1: Whites would say, took move away from the graphic. As 574 00:28:02,748 --> 00:28:05,588 Speaker 1: Sam Whites would say, You're from Cincin Daddy, not Cleveland 575 00:28:05,668 --> 00:28:08,588 Speaker 1: like the Miss. So don't get full of yourself. Well done, 576 00:28:08,628 --> 00:28:10,508 Speaker 1: Actually that was really well done. You stayed on the 577 00:28:10,508 --> 00:28:15,308 Speaker 1: side of a sor. We can read everything. Actually, Jars, 578 00:28:15,468 --> 00:28:17,908 Speaker 1: are you with the Steelers? I want to hear that. Yeah, 579 00:28:17,908 --> 00:28:20,988 Speaker 1: back to the Steelers. Let's go man once again. Your 580 00:28:21,068 --> 00:28:24,188 Speaker 1: mama named Jehines. I'm gonna call your Hans. Let's get 581 00:28:24,268 --> 00:28:28,388 Speaker 1: to this. Listen to checklist. Name Mitch Trubisky. The starter 582 00:28:28,628 --> 00:28:30,668 Speaker 1: day one, going to the the training camp. We don't need 583 00:28:30,668 --> 00:28:33,988 Speaker 1: another quarterback competition quarterback chat. We know who the guys 584 00:28:34,068 --> 00:28:36,668 Speaker 1: named him. He was drafted number two overall a few 585 00:28:36,748 --> 00:28:39,828 Speaker 1: years ago for a reason. He has talent. What's that? 586 00:28:39,908 --> 00:28:41,468 Speaker 1: You don't need to talking about that? Yes we do, 587 00:28:41,628 --> 00:28:43,428 Speaker 1: but it didn't work out there. But this is the 588 00:28:43,468 --> 00:28:46,228 Speaker 1: second second time around hill bounce back name him started 589 00:28:46,308 --> 00:28:48,268 Speaker 1: day one. The thing about when I think Steelers, I 590 00:28:48,268 --> 00:28:51,988 Speaker 1: think stability, the head coach position, obviously, ownership, and the quarterback. 591 00:28:52,028 --> 00:28:54,708 Speaker 1: Obviously you had Terry Bradshaw back in the day. You 592 00:28:54,748 --> 00:28:57,548 Speaker 1: had Big Ben who won super Bowls. Put Mitch in 593 00:28:57,548 --> 00:29:01,988 Speaker 1: a great position to thrive. Next, manage Naji Harris manages 594 00:29:02,068 --> 00:29:04,268 Speaker 1: touches throughout the season. Don't don't run him into the 595 00:29:04,468 --> 00:29:07,028 Speaker 1: round early. Let him hit his stride late in the season. 596 00:29:07,188 --> 00:29:09,748 Speaker 1: You're gonna have to ride his coatel down the stretch. 597 00:29:09,868 --> 00:29:12,748 Speaker 1: This is a young offensive line. You help young offensive 598 00:29:12,788 --> 00:29:14,708 Speaker 1: lines by running the ball. You don't have him going 599 00:29:14,748 --> 00:29:17,228 Speaker 1: backwards all the time. Deontay Johnson is going to be 600 00:29:17,388 --> 00:29:20,308 Speaker 1: awesome outside. But Chase Claypool, he went out made a 601 00:29:20,308 --> 00:29:22,948 Speaker 1: bold statement earlier this offseason and say he's a top 602 00:29:22,988 --> 00:29:25,748 Speaker 1: three ride receiver. Let's put him in position to thrive. 603 00:29:25,828 --> 00:29:27,588 Speaker 1: He has talent, He's a big play guy that can 604 00:29:27,668 --> 00:29:29,708 Speaker 1: go up and get the ball. Challenge him early in 605 00:29:29,748 --> 00:29:33,348 Speaker 1: training camp to have his best season yet and then 606 00:29:33,388 --> 00:29:35,028 Speaker 1: on the other side of the ball once again. The 607 00:29:35,068 --> 00:29:36,908 Speaker 1: other thing I think about when I think about the 608 00:29:36,948 --> 00:29:40,548 Speaker 1: Stillers their defense. They have one of the most expensive 609 00:29:40,628 --> 00:29:44,508 Speaker 1: defenses in the league. Every year they're getting after the quarterback. 610 00:29:44,668 --> 00:29:47,228 Speaker 1: It's Blitzberg out there. You got Cam Hayward, you got 611 00:29:47,268 --> 00:29:50,708 Speaker 1: t J. Watt, you paid Minka. Let's have the best 612 00:29:50,748 --> 00:29:53,468 Speaker 1: defense in the NFL this year. And I think if 613 00:29:53,508 --> 00:29:55,948 Speaker 1: you hit all three of these things, we're looking at 614 00:29:55,948 --> 00:29:58,508 Speaker 1: a good We're looking at a good spot down the stretch. 615 00:29:58,548 --> 00:29:59,988 Speaker 1: What do you think about those moments when a guy 616 00:29:59,988 --> 00:30:02,428 Speaker 1: like Chase Claypool or anybody would come forward before the 617 00:30:02,428 --> 00:30:06,548 Speaker 1: season even begins and it's like, I love it, Yeah, 618 00:30:06,668 --> 00:30:08,708 Speaker 1: I love it. You sound a little crazy, Obviously, everyone 619 00:30:08,748 --> 00:30:10,908 Speaker 1: can We all have the stats, we all have Cable, 620 00:30:10,948 --> 00:30:13,268 Speaker 1: we watched the game. So you're not top three right now? 621 00:30:13,668 --> 00:30:15,388 Speaker 1: Does he have the ability to be a top three 622 00:30:15,388 --> 00:30:18,908 Speaker 1: receiver in his league? One? Okay, Tom, are you confidence 623 00:30:18,988 --> 00:30:20,748 Speaker 1: this is going to be the best checklist of the week? 624 00:30:21,468 --> 00:30:23,668 Speaker 1: You would certainly hope. So we're gonna finish strong here 625 00:30:23,788 --> 00:30:25,468 Speaker 1: town doesn't sound I'm going to stay out of the 626 00:30:25,468 --> 00:30:28,228 Speaker 1: way of the monitor so Rachel doesn't insult me. All right, 627 00:30:28,228 --> 00:30:32,108 Speaker 1: Cleveland Browns starts off with have quarterback contingencies. We all 628 00:30:32,108 --> 00:30:34,428 Speaker 1: know the situation right now with the Shawn Watson, who 629 00:30:34,428 --> 00:30:37,988 Speaker 1: has faced serious allegations of sexual misconduct that are still 630 00:30:38,068 --> 00:30:41,708 Speaker 1: being vetted by the NFL and specifically by Sue L. Robinson, 631 00:30:41,748 --> 00:30:44,828 Speaker 1: who is the jointly appointed disciplinary Officer. At some point 632 00:30:44,988 --> 00:30:48,308 Speaker 1: the Browns will find out what, if any suspension Deshaun 633 00:30:48,348 --> 00:30:50,948 Speaker 1: Watson faces. If he does miss time, then the next 634 00:30:50,988 --> 00:30:52,548 Speaker 1: guy up in the depth chart is going to beat 635 00:30:52,588 --> 00:30:56,748 Speaker 1: Jacoby Brissette. Baker Mayfield's gone, they'll straight away case Keenum. Brissette, 636 00:30:56,748 --> 00:30:59,068 Speaker 1: who has started in a couple of places, most notably 637 00:30:59,268 --> 00:31:01,868 Speaker 1: with the Colts, would be that quarterback in the short 638 00:31:01,948 --> 00:31:04,148 Speaker 1: term unless they make a move for another quarterback. They 639 00:31:04,148 --> 00:31:07,188 Speaker 1: also have Josh Dobbs. They're at number fifteen for former 640 00:31:07,268 --> 00:31:10,588 Speaker 1: Steelers draft pick. Whatever the situation is, they're going to 641 00:31:10,668 --> 00:31:13,948 Speaker 1: have to be ready to adjust their plan moving forward 642 00:31:13,988 --> 00:31:16,548 Speaker 1: depending on how much time, if any Shaun Watson missus 643 00:31:16,748 --> 00:31:19,188 Speaker 1: next one spread the wealth. You got a ton of 644 00:31:19,188 --> 00:31:21,148 Speaker 1: weapons on this team. It doesn't all have to be 645 00:31:21,388 --> 00:31:23,508 Speaker 1: about the quarterback. And that's part of the reason why 646 00:31:23,508 --> 00:31:25,748 Speaker 1: if you were the Browns, you probably feel decent about 647 00:31:25,788 --> 00:31:28,548 Speaker 1: whoever you end up with at quarterback. In a short 648 00:31:28,628 --> 00:31:30,668 Speaker 1: term type of a situation. You got Nick Chubb and 649 00:31:30,748 --> 00:31:33,508 Speaker 1: Kareem Hunt. You traded for Maury Cooper in one of 650 00:31:33,548 --> 00:31:36,268 Speaker 1: the bargain moves the offseason. You got Donovan People's Jones, 651 00:31:36,348 --> 00:31:39,708 Speaker 1: who's a really explosive player. Spread the ball around David 652 00:31:39,708 --> 00:31:41,348 Speaker 1: and Joke who just got a new deal as well. 653 00:31:41,708 --> 00:31:44,668 Speaker 1: Utilize all those weapons again. Figure out that plan. Then 654 00:31:44,708 --> 00:31:46,588 Speaker 1: the last one. I'm saying this slightly tongue in cheek, 655 00:31:46,828 --> 00:31:49,388 Speaker 1: but are we still waiting for Clowney magic? Oh? Are 656 00:31:49,388 --> 00:31:53,068 Speaker 1: we going to get the dominant Jadeveon Clowney season? He's 657 00:31:53,228 --> 00:31:56,628 Speaker 1: entering year nine in the NFL. How many double digit 658 00:31:56,668 --> 00:32:00,108 Speaker 1: sack seasons does he have? Zero? As the former number 659 00:32:00,108 --> 00:32:02,628 Speaker 1: one overall pick. Now, he was highly disruptive last year. 660 00:32:02,668 --> 00:32:05,348 Speaker 1: He played well. He had nine acts for But every 661 00:32:05,388 --> 00:32:07,108 Speaker 1: year it's the same thing, which is that was a 662 00:32:07,148 --> 00:32:09,948 Speaker 1: pretty good season for him. You'll get another one year deal. 663 00:32:10,348 --> 00:32:12,388 Speaker 1: Never had the long term extench. It's still only twenty 664 00:32:12,428 --> 00:32:14,428 Speaker 1: nine years old. Now is the time with all the 665 00:32:14,428 --> 00:32:16,988 Speaker 1: other guys. You got favorable matchups with Miles Garrett up front, 666 00:32:17,028 --> 00:32:19,868 Speaker 1: you got a really good secondary. Everything can come together. 667 00:32:20,028 --> 00:32:22,388 Speaker 1: If you get a breakout season from de Debbion Clowney two, 668 00:32:22,628 --> 00:32:24,308 Speaker 1: this could be one of the best defenses in the NFL. 669 00:32:24,308 --> 00:32:26,348 Speaker 1: There's so much talent on this team. It's insane. Okay, 670 00:32:26,348 --> 00:32:29,948 Speaker 1: well done, well done, well done. It is now my turn. Okay, 671 00:32:29,988 --> 00:32:31,828 Speaker 1: imagine I just like made fun of you guys the 672 00:32:31,828 --> 00:32:33,908 Speaker 1: whole time, and I just screwed mine up. I'm going 673 00:32:33,988 --> 00:32:36,508 Speaker 1: to do the race what they need to do to 674 00:32:36,548 --> 00:32:39,668 Speaker 1: find success in the Year of Our Lord twenty twenty two. 675 00:32:39,668 --> 00:32:42,468 Speaker 1: First off, keep the team healthy. I remember going into 676 00:32:42,548 --> 00:32:44,868 Speaker 1: last season, I felt like I was constantly getting notifications 677 00:32:44,868 --> 00:32:47,308 Speaker 1: on my phone. This guy from the Ravens is down. Now, 678 00:32:47,428 --> 00:32:49,428 Speaker 1: this guy from the Ravens is down. It's like, Okay, 679 00:32:49,428 --> 00:32:51,748 Speaker 1: this season's going to be an absolute wash. I hated 680 00:32:51,828 --> 00:32:53,988 Speaker 1: that we had COVID issues with this team. We had 681 00:32:54,068 --> 00:32:56,948 Speaker 1: Lamar getting sick every other week. It was weird. I 682 00:32:56,988 --> 00:32:58,788 Speaker 1: didn't like it. I want to see this team thriving. 683 00:32:58,828 --> 00:33:02,308 Speaker 1: I'm actually very excited about them this year. Second, Lamar 684 00:33:02,628 --> 00:33:06,548 Speaker 1: is to prove to his teammates that he is all 685 00:33:06,588 --> 00:33:09,148 Speaker 1: the way in. We are seeing his Twitter banner change 686 00:33:09,228 --> 00:33:11,588 Speaker 1: to a grill that says I need money. He's going 687 00:33:11,628 --> 00:33:14,468 Speaker 1: off on Twitter. He's talking about this, that and the other. 688 00:33:14,508 --> 00:33:16,988 Speaker 1: We know there's contract issues going on. He needs to 689 00:33:16,988 --> 00:33:19,468 Speaker 1: show up and let his teammates know that he is 690 00:33:19,508 --> 00:33:22,108 Speaker 1: going to still be the amazing quarterback, that he is 691 00:33:22,188 --> 00:33:26,148 Speaker 1: the amazing leader that he is trying to be. And finally, 692 00:33:26,748 --> 00:33:31,788 Speaker 1: I kind of low key I don't really want to 693 00:33:31,788 --> 00:33:35,508 Speaker 1: see Lamar sign a contract before this season. And I 694 00:33:35,588 --> 00:33:38,588 Speaker 1: know that's controversial, Okay. I'm hoping that he stays healthy. 695 00:33:38,708 --> 00:33:42,628 Speaker 1: I want him to make that money, honey, knowing that 696 00:33:42,628 --> 00:33:44,348 Speaker 1: that is going to be at the end of the line, 697 00:33:44,388 --> 00:33:46,148 Speaker 1: at the end of the season, that he could make 698 00:33:46,188 --> 00:33:49,228 Speaker 1: some catching. He's gonna ball out. He is going to 699 00:33:49,268 --> 00:33:51,868 Speaker 1: be the most fun to watch. So make that money, honey, 700 00:33:52,068 --> 00:33:55,188 Speaker 1: get rid of those grills and stay healthy. That's how 701 00:33:55,188 --> 00:33:58,228 Speaker 1: you're doing. Do they make the play? I really hope. So. 702 00:33:58,268 --> 00:34:00,348 Speaker 1: I'm actually I've got high hopes for the Ravens this year. 703 00:34:00,388 --> 00:34:02,268 Speaker 1: What do you guys think I was gonna say who 704 00:34:02,308 --> 00:34:05,388 Speaker 1: you're I got him winning a division. Yeah thing. Lamar 705 00:34:05,508 --> 00:34:08,388 Speaker 1: bounces back and we'll talk about him later. But I 706 00:34:08,468 --> 00:34:20,748 Speaker 1: like him. I like John C. Gardner. Johnson is right there, 707 00:34:21,428 --> 00:34:24,628 Speaker 1: Russian brow. That ball picked off fight side looks like 708 00:34:24,708 --> 00:34:28,068 Speaker 1: CD Douce writing purpose says, that's down inside the party 709 00:34:28,108 --> 00:34:34,188 Speaker 1: guard line by Choulps Gardner. Johnson better perfectly made the interception. 710 00:34:34,308 --> 00:34:36,868 Speaker 1: Brady Rolls because right now he throws that's gonna be 711 00:34:36,988 --> 00:34:40,548 Speaker 1: picked off by Chomps Gardner Johnson on the far side. 712 00:34:41,708 --> 00:34:45,188 Speaker 1: The Johnson and now they'll go to the fuckingeers and 713 00:34:45,348 --> 00:34:50,588 Speaker 1: john to celebrate. Welcome back to good Morning Football. Our 714 00:34:50,788 --> 00:34:53,988 Speaker 1: next guest is one of the best corners in the 715 00:34:54,148 --> 00:34:57,148 Speaker 1: NFL today. I can feel Darius. He's already nervous beside me. 716 00:34:57,588 --> 00:34:59,868 Speaker 1: I'd like to welcome to good Morning football. C J. 717 00:35:00,508 --> 00:35:08,188 Speaker 1: Gardner john One. Okay, so this is why you're nervous. 718 00:35:08,188 --> 00:35:10,468 Speaker 1: I can talk. You just so happened to be ranked 719 00:35:10,548 --> 00:35:14,108 Speaker 1: number four on Darius's list of top five slot defenders 720 00:35:14,228 --> 00:35:22,268 Speaker 1: last month. Well you're not having it, actually, Darius, you explaining. Uh, 721 00:35:22,948 --> 00:35:24,828 Speaker 1: go ahead, Hey, we gotta address the elephant in the 722 00:35:24,908 --> 00:35:27,628 Speaker 1: room right now. Off the bat. Tell me what I 723 00:35:27,748 --> 00:35:31,188 Speaker 1: got wrong, Chauncey. It's not what you got wrong. Let's 724 00:35:31,228 --> 00:35:34,628 Speaker 1: let's let's get it right. Every one that list premiere, 725 00:35:35,108 --> 00:35:37,988 Speaker 1: they're a lockdown corners, but let's talk about positional stuff. 726 00:35:38,028 --> 00:35:41,748 Speaker 1: You put two of the premiere outside corners inside, so 727 00:35:41,868 --> 00:35:44,188 Speaker 1: it's like, I mean, don't get kind of spoken about that. 728 00:35:44,188 --> 00:35:45,668 Speaker 1: I just put my head now. I'm like, okay, I 729 00:35:45,748 --> 00:35:47,148 Speaker 1: see who was in front of me. So it's like 730 00:35:47,228 --> 00:35:50,268 Speaker 1: as an honor with Jayla and Waller, you know, pro 731 00:35:50,388 --> 00:35:52,828 Speaker 1: bowler with Kenney. So I just gotta keep working. I mean, 732 00:35:52,908 --> 00:35:55,028 Speaker 1: you you're you're entirely own opinion, so I mean, I 733 00:35:55,148 --> 00:35:57,268 Speaker 1: respect your decision, but I mean when you talk about 734 00:35:57,268 --> 00:35:59,108 Speaker 1: positional stuff on me and I just keep it real. 735 00:35:59,668 --> 00:36:01,468 Speaker 1: You know I ain't gonna go to I don't do 736 00:36:01,588 --> 00:36:04,028 Speaker 1: your own opinion. It's just not right. I like it. 737 00:36:04,108 --> 00:36:05,628 Speaker 1: I like I can hit ball the man to think 738 00:36:05,628 --> 00:36:08,428 Speaker 1: about you make a top five list. Anybody can be anywhere. 739 00:36:08,468 --> 00:36:10,108 Speaker 1: And this is a new year. I'm looking forward to 740 00:36:10,148 --> 00:36:12,188 Speaker 1: you continue the ball out and more and more importantly, 741 00:36:12,188 --> 00:36:15,268 Speaker 1: continue to talk trash. I love that point. I love 742 00:36:15,348 --> 00:36:19,628 Speaker 1: that too. Okay, Well, regardless of where Darius has you 743 00:36:19,708 --> 00:36:22,228 Speaker 1: ranked on his top five list. Many analysts around the 744 00:36:22,308 --> 00:36:25,108 Speaker 1: league are saying the same type one of the top defenses. 745 00:36:25,508 --> 00:36:27,908 Speaker 1: Right now, tell us at this moment, do you believe 746 00:36:27,988 --> 00:36:31,588 Speaker 1: you guys have the best defense in the NFL? Of course, 747 00:36:31,788 --> 00:36:35,388 Speaker 1: I mean from first level, second level, third level. You 748 00:36:35,468 --> 00:36:37,348 Speaker 1: got Cam at the front to prop it off for 749 00:36:37,588 --> 00:36:41,028 Speaker 1: shy Marcus Davenport. Then you got to Mario in the 750 00:36:41,068 --> 00:36:43,628 Speaker 1: middle and calling all the shots. So with him and Pete, 751 00:36:43,708 --> 00:36:45,828 Speaker 1: you know, you see what they were doing last year 752 00:36:45,828 --> 00:36:48,708 Speaker 1: with Quan pe Kate Ellis, all those guys in the 753 00:36:48,708 --> 00:36:50,468 Speaker 1: middle of them on the back end, bringing in Honey 754 00:36:50,508 --> 00:36:53,188 Speaker 1: Badgers just like we just love. We just had a 755 00:36:53,468 --> 00:36:56,148 Speaker 1: Super Bowl safety, two times of Bowl safety. Now we're 756 00:36:56,188 --> 00:36:59,348 Speaker 1: bringing into another hometime hero or the Super Bowl Pro Bowlers. 757 00:36:59,428 --> 00:37:01,868 Speaker 1: So he knows and we know what they expect and 758 00:37:01,908 --> 00:37:03,908 Speaker 1: what's gonna go out there and dominate. Just take advantage 759 00:37:03,908 --> 00:37:06,348 Speaker 1: of off because all this time out did Why now 760 00:37:06,548 --> 00:37:11,388 Speaker 1: I can't waste you know, Chauncey Darius mentioned all the 761 00:37:11,508 --> 00:37:13,508 Speaker 1: trash that you talk off the shield. You're one of 762 00:37:13,588 --> 00:37:16,828 Speaker 1: my favorite guys to watch because you're like the joker, 763 00:37:17,108 --> 00:37:20,748 Speaker 1: like you're out there creating chaos. You're Woody Woodpecker, the troublemaking, 764 00:37:20,788 --> 00:37:23,988 Speaker 1: getting under people's skin. You're the least favorite player on 765 00:37:24,148 --> 00:37:27,708 Speaker 1: the team of every other team that you face. Where 766 00:37:27,748 --> 00:37:31,188 Speaker 1: does that come from? That ability or will or whatever 767 00:37:31,308 --> 00:37:33,708 Speaker 1: it is to kind of to get under people's skin 768 00:37:33,748 --> 00:37:36,388 Speaker 1: and roll them up. I think it's really the passion. 769 00:37:36,588 --> 00:37:38,988 Speaker 1: You gotta go out there ready to play. Like to me, 770 00:37:39,108 --> 00:37:40,948 Speaker 1: when I'm out there between those lines, I got two 771 00:37:40,988 --> 00:37:42,748 Speaker 1: other guys got to take care of now myself, so 772 00:37:42,828 --> 00:37:44,988 Speaker 1: I'm out there really to put the fire in on, 773 00:37:45,188 --> 00:37:47,028 Speaker 1: go out there and get guts and yeah, I think 774 00:37:47,028 --> 00:37:49,628 Speaker 1: about it. We've got Pat Bell, look at Draymond. Those 775 00:37:49,708 --> 00:37:52,388 Speaker 1: type of guys are the championship teams. I want to 776 00:37:52,388 --> 00:37:54,708 Speaker 1: be known as. Yeah, to talk a little bit, but 777 00:37:54,788 --> 00:37:57,188 Speaker 1: I'm gonna back it up, so dash Jess just me like, 778 00:37:57,268 --> 00:37:59,468 Speaker 1: when I go out there, I remember all the things 779 00:37:59,588 --> 00:38:01,628 Speaker 1: that that made me get to this point. So it's 780 00:38:01,628 --> 00:38:03,748 Speaker 1: just like, why not talk a little I mean, at 781 00:38:03,748 --> 00:38:06,068 Speaker 1: the highest level, why not be passionate of what you do? 782 00:38:06,188 --> 00:38:07,708 Speaker 1: So that's just that's just what it is. And a 783 00:38:07,788 --> 00:38:09,548 Speaker 1: lot of people can't handle it. So you can't handle 784 00:38:09,588 --> 00:38:14,388 Speaker 1: the heat step kitchen. Well, whether they can handle it 785 00:38:14,588 --> 00:38:16,828 Speaker 1: or not, you do have the respect of a lot 786 00:38:16,908 --> 00:38:19,268 Speaker 1: of the guys in the league, including your former head 787 00:38:19,268 --> 00:38:22,548 Speaker 1: coach Sean Payton, who just retired from the NFL earlier 788 00:38:22,668 --> 00:38:27,508 Speaker 1: this year. And unlike Darius, he called you the top 789 00:38:27,708 --> 00:38:31,948 Speaker 1: slot corner in the game. All right, he's been your 790 00:38:31,988 --> 00:38:33,548 Speaker 1: only head coach since you've been in the league. Tell 791 00:38:33,628 --> 00:38:36,948 Speaker 1: us how much he meant to him. He started my career. 792 00:38:36,988 --> 00:38:38,948 Speaker 1: You gotta think about it. Coming from Florida, you know, 793 00:38:39,068 --> 00:38:42,068 Speaker 1: I was the only underclassman coming out at my position. 794 00:38:42,148 --> 00:38:45,668 Speaker 1: So when I actually met him in draft combine, you know, 795 00:38:45,908 --> 00:38:48,188 Speaker 1: was talking to him just like it's like a father figure. 796 00:38:48,268 --> 00:38:50,788 Speaker 1: So every day it was more so. But can you 797 00:38:50,908 --> 00:38:53,348 Speaker 1: take coaching, and it's like the way he coaches you 798 00:38:53,428 --> 00:38:55,428 Speaker 1: like I think like a lunch championship. Been around the 799 00:38:55,508 --> 00:38:58,348 Speaker 1: best coaches, you always get the experience that he went through. 800 00:38:58,388 --> 00:39:00,068 Speaker 1: So it's like you try to put yourself in his shoe, 801 00:39:00,268 --> 00:39:02,508 Speaker 1: understand what he sees, what he know of the game, 802 00:39:02,588 --> 00:39:03,948 Speaker 1: so you could take it with you. And that's why 803 00:39:04,588 --> 00:39:06,348 Speaker 1: I love coach Sean. You know everybody in the room. 804 00:39:06,428 --> 00:39:08,108 Speaker 1: You know, he feel energy like I think about it, 805 00:39:08,468 --> 00:39:12,148 Speaker 1: choose swags to the dancing, to just the fire he 806 00:39:12,228 --> 00:39:14,468 Speaker 1: puts a funny one even it's not going well. So 807 00:39:14,548 --> 00:39:17,108 Speaker 1: I just think you get an all around person and 808 00:39:17,188 --> 00:39:20,108 Speaker 1: all around coach slash father figure when you talk about 809 00:39:20,108 --> 00:39:22,108 Speaker 1: coach Sean. That's why I just thank them for everything 810 00:39:22,188 --> 00:39:26,028 Speaker 1: he didn't just continue to play honestly with that passion 811 00:39:26,108 --> 00:39:28,708 Speaker 1: and thought and my mindset like he does, go think 812 00:39:28,708 --> 00:39:30,228 Speaker 1: about because he want the swarts in the game, So 813 00:39:30,468 --> 00:39:34,028 Speaker 1: why not? I love it bigger the ball, So trying 814 00:39:34,068 --> 00:39:37,148 Speaker 1: say earlier this week, your teammates, Shot Tubtle aka Big 815 00:39:37,268 --> 00:39:39,948 Speaker 1: Dripper came on the show and made a pitch for 816 00:39:40,108 --> 00:39:43,228 Speaker 1: a National Defensive Lineman day. He claimed that the defensive 817 00:39:43,308 --> 00:39:46,388 Speaker 1: lineman are the coolest position group in the entire infact, 818 00:39:46,428 --> 00:39:48,988 Speaker 1: made a great great argument too. Would you agree or 819 00:39:49,068 --> 00:39:51,948 Speaker 1: disagree with that d lineman of the coolest position group 820 00:39:51,988 --> 00:39:56,708 Speaker 1: in the NFL? Oh? Definitely. So when I practice, I don't. 821 00:39:56,748 --> 00:39:58,828 Speaker 1: I can't speak for the thirty one of the teams 822 00:39:58,868 --> 00:40:01,068 Speaker 1: out there, but I p D line come out that 823 00:40:01,148 --> 00:40:04,948 Speaker 1: dress like DBS, doubles, fat sleeves pas, but it's like 824 00:40:05,148 --> 00:40:08,468 Speaker 1: you feel good. So it was like and then with 825 00:40:08,588 --> 00:40:11,348 Speaker 1: guys like Cam who just fall in line like games 826 00:40:11,348 --> 00:40:12,708 Speaker 1: like a fall in line, I think it's just like 827 00:40:13,148 --> 00:40:15,988 Speaker 1: when everybody's in tune to the same thing and it's like, 828 00:40:16,428 --> 00:40:18,228 Speaker 1: I look like this is one way the DVS can 829 00:40:18,308 --> 00:40:19,508 Speaker 1: fit it. This way, I can feel it the way 830 00:40:19,588 --> 00:40:21,748 Speaker 1: like it's fun when you can see a shot or 831 00:40:21,868 --> 00:40:24,988 Speaker 1: even Malcolm sometimes laugh at them. They guy doing back 832 00:40:25,028 --> 00:40:28,028 Speaker 1: pedals at practice with us, like watching doing speed terms 833 00:40:28,068 --> 00:40:30,188 Speaker 1: and stuff. Is just it keeps energy in the room. 834 00:40:30,228 --> 00:40:32,148 Speaker 1: Gotta think like when you can see those guys at 835 00:40:32,228 --> 00:40:34,668 Speaker 1: that sides can still act like they one of us 836 00:40:34,748 --> 00:40:36,348 Speaker 1: and just still be a part of something and just 837 00:40:36,468 --> 00:40:40,108 Speaker 1: have fun.
