We are live 4 00:00:30,828 --> 00:00:33,748 Speaker 1: is Wednesday, March thirtieth. My name is Rachel Vanett, alongside 5 00:00:33,788 --> 00:00:36,868 Speaker 1: Peter schreg or Kyle Brand and of course would have 6 00:00:36,948 --> 00:00:39,868 Speaker 1: the most electrifying players of all time, two time Pro 7 00:00:39,908 --> 00:00:46,228 Speaker 1: Bowl or the X factor there is. Hey up, I 8 00:00:46,308 --> 00:00:47,948 Speaker 1: heard that, I heard electrifine. I just thought we were 9 00:00:47,948 --> 00:00:50,628 Speaker 1: talking about overtime rule change. You know I'm here for that. 10 00:00:50,988 --> 00:00:53,348 Speaker 1: I love it. We did it, we didn't get it, 11 00:00:54,908 --> 00:00:57,988 Speaker 1: and listen to us. Time for the weed block. We've 12 00:00:58,028 --> 00:01:00,788 Speaker 1: block right into it, shall we. The twenty twenty two 13 00:01:01,228 --> 00:01:04,628 Speaker 1: Annual League meetings wrapped up yesterday and we all earn 14 00:01:04,788 --> 00:01:07,868 Speaker 1: from all the big names around the NFL. We saw 15 00:01:07,908 --> 00:01:11,868 Speaker 1: this gorgeous photo including Commissioner Goodell to give us everything 16 00:01:11,868 --> 00:01:14,468 Speaker 1: we need to know. Here's our own Steve Wish and 17 00:01:14,508 --> 00:01:18,588 Speaker 1: Tom Pelsaro voice. All right. The twenty twenty two Annual 18 00:01:18,588 --> 00:01:20,788 Speaker 1: Meeting has just wrapped up and the biggest item of 19 00:01:20,828 --> 00:01:24,948 Speaker 1: discussion among ownership with THEE and I diversity, equity and inclusion. 20 00:01:25,188 --> 00:01:29,708 Speaker 1: The hiring practices by clubs, the league itself, and one 21 00:01:29,708 --> 00:01:32,188 Speaker 1: of the big pushes by Commissioner Roger Goodell is also 22 00:01:32,308 --> 00:01:35,548 Speaker 1: diversity in ownership. And we know that the Denver Broncos 23 00:01:35,628 --> 00:01:37,908 Speaker 1: right now they are up for sale and Goodell has 24 00:01:37,948 --> 00:01:41,548 Speaker 1: been encouraging diverse candidates to apply for ownership, to look 25 00:01:41,588 --> 00:01:44,468 Speaker 1: at diverse membership groups. But one of things Goodell said 26 00:01:44,468 --> 00:01:46,548 Speaker 1: it is press conference that was interesting is even if 27 00:01:46,588 --> 00:01:49,668 Speaker 1: there is not a majority diverse owner, someone more than 28 00:01:49,708 --> 00:01:53,628 Speaker 1: thirty percent ownership, any ownership group needs to be encouraged 29 00:01:53,708 --> 00:01:56,908 Speaker 1: to have a diverse collective of members to try to 30 00:01:56,908 --> 00:01:59,148 Speaker 1: get in with the Broncos. The Broncos sale is unique, 31 00:01:59,188 --> 00:02:00,748 Speaker 1: it's going to be more like an auction because the 32 00:02:00,748 --> 00:02:02,868 Speaker 1: team is currently held in a trust. But you saw 33 00:02:02,908 --> 00:02:05,908 Speaker 1: the statement from all thirty two clubs together saying the 34 00:02:06,028 --> 00:02:09,268 Speaker 1: importance of having a diversity at the ownership level. That 35 00:02:09,388 --> 00:02:11,268 Speaker 1: is certainly something to monitor. So are some of the 36 00:02:11,308 --> 00:02:14,428 Speaker 1: other initial changes the NFL has made, including establishing a 37 00:02:14,508 --> 00:02:17,948 Speaker 1: six person diversity Advisory Committee, people from the business world 38 00:02:17,948 --> 00:02:20,508 Speaker 1: academics as well as former Texas GM Rick Smith. They 39 00:02:20,548 --> 00:02:23,668 Speaker 1: will be examining all the club and league policies, making 40 00:02:23,708 --> 00:02:27,148 Speaker 1: suggestions about potential changes to the process. Also, all thirty 41 00:02:27,188 --> 00:02:30,148 Speaker 1: two teams now require to hire an offensive assistant who 42 00:02:30,188 --> 00:02:32,668 Speaker 1: is a person of color or a woman. Gadell said 43 00:02:32,708 --> 00:02:34,028 Speaker 1: that is driven by the fact that a lot of 44 00:02:34,068 --> 00:02:36,668 Speaker 1: the head coaching hires are from the offensive side of 45 00:02:36,708 --> 00:02:39,308 Speaker 1: the ball. Steve, Yeah, we want those coaches, according to 46 00:02:39,308 --> 00:02:41,308 Speaker 1: the league to also work with quarterbacks because we know 47 00:02:41,388 --> 00:02:43,188 Speaker 1: the quarterbacks are the ones that are looked at front 48 00:02:43,188 --> 00:02:45,348 Speaker 1: of the line. Here and speak of quarterbacks, I mean 49 00:02:45,388 --> 00:02:48,908 Speaker 1: Patrick Mahomes and Josh Allen that great playoff game where 50 00:02:48,908 --> 00:02:52,388 Speaker 1: the Bills did not get possession in overtime, So we 51 00:02:52,428 --> 00:02:55,428 Speaker 1: saw a tweak in the overtime rules tom where both 52 00:02:55,468 --> 00:02:57,788 Speaker 1: teams are not going to get possession in overtime, but 53 00:02:58,028 --> 00:03:02,068 Speaker 1: only in the playoffs, not in the regular season. But again, 54 00:03:02,148 --> 00:03:04,708 Speaker 1: once again, the league wants to make things a little 55 00:03:04,748 --> 00:03:06,788 Speaker 1: bit more interesting, and this seems something that was very 56 00:03:06,788 --> 00:03:09,428 Speaker 1: palatable across the board, and Goodell said this was a 57 00:03:09,548 --> 00:03:12,548 Speaker 1: datted driven decision. Twelve playoff games that have gone to 58 00:03:12,588 --> 00:03:15,708 Speaker 1: overtime since the NFL went to modified sudden death, seven 59 00:03:15,748 --> 00:03:19,028 Speaker 1: of those games won on the opening possession. Coaches considered 60 00:03:19,108 --> 00:03:21,868 Speaker 1: that to be an issue, so did ownership. That's why 61 00:03:21,868 --> 00:03:24,668 Speaker 1: the change was made for the postseason. Initially, I asked Goodell, 62 00:03:24,908 --> 00:03:26,708 Speaker 1: does this mean eventually we're also going to have it 63 00:03:26,748 --> 00:03:29,308 Speaker 1: for the regular season. He said, not necessarily, because head 64 00:03:29,308 --> 00:03:33,428 Speaker 1: coaches think that the overtime works during the regular season. 65 00:03:33,508 --> 00:03:35,948 Speaker 1: Also a big announcement for US. Steve Brian McCarthy, the 66 00:03:36,068 --> 00:03:39,308 Speaker 1: NFLPR guy, chiming in during Goodell's press conference saying, yes, 67 00:03:39,788 --> 00:03:42,308 Speaker 1: locker rooms will be open at least after games. They're 68 00:03:42,308 --> 00:03:44,748 Speaker 1: still working through things, but those great shots for a 69 00:03:44,788 --> 00:03:47,748 Speaker 1: player being interviewed at ida's locker after a win or 70 00:03:47,788 --> 00:03:51,908 Speaker 1: a loss will return in twenty twenty two. That is 71 00:03:52,028 --> 00:03:54,628 Speaker 1: very exciting. Thank you, guys. So it was a big 72 00:03:54,668 --> 00:03:57,068 Speaker 1: two days down at the annual league meetings, a lot 73 00:03:57,108 --> 00:03:59,708 Speaker 1: to unpack, but we got a rule change. Baby. The 74 00:03:59,748 --> 00:04:02,268 Speaker 1: regular season stays the same and that's a good call. 75 00:04:02,348 --> 00:04:05,388 Speaker 1: But for the playoffs, each team is guaranteed a possession, 76 00:04:05,468 --> 00:04:09,748 Speaker 1: so both teams will get a crack at it after regulation. 77 00:04:10,028 --> 00:04:12,868 Speaker 1: What do you guys think of these new overtime rules 78 00:04:13,308 --> 00:04:15,468 Speaker 1: for the post season? Kbe, I know you're fired out. 79 00:04:15,588 --> 00:04:18,268 Speaker 1: I am. I'm very pleased this morning, and it's okay. 80 00:04:18,268 --> 00:04:20,628 Speaker 1: It's a rule change in March, and there's a full screening. 81 00:04:21,028 --> 00:04:23,548 Speaker 1: Wait till January. This actually happens, and this stick takes 82 00:04:23,548 --> 00:04:25,588 Speaker 1: a whole bunch of things. I'm very pleased this morning 83 00:04:25,588 --> 00:04:28,228 Speaker 1: that we are never ever going to see Josh Allen 84 00:04:28,788 --> 00:04:32,548 Speaker 1: or Patrick Mahomes or Malik Willis stand on the sideline 85 00:04:32,548 --> 00:04:34,708 Speaker 1: after playing four brilliant quarters and just watch like, well, 86 00:04:34,748 --> 00:04:36,708 Speaker 1: I hope, oh oh, I guess my season's over, not 87 00:04:36,788 --> 00:04:38,908 Speaker 1: the game, my entire season. It's never gonna happen again. 88 00:04:39,028 --> 00:04:41,388 Speaker 1: And I thought it was interesting what Steve White said there, 89 00:04:41,468 --> 00:04:44,108 Speaker 1: that it's gonna make things a little more interesting. It 90 00:04:44,188 --> 00:04:46,028 Speaker 1: can make it a lot more interesting. Let's pose the 91 00:04:46,068 --> 00:04:48,748 Speaker 1: scenario here, whether it's Bengals, Chiefs, Bills. Chiefs team wins 92 00:04:48,788 --> 00:04:50,428 Speaker 1: the coin toss and they decide to take the ball, 93 00:04:50,428 --> 00:04:52,628 Speaker 1: which I'm not necessarily sure they're going to do. They 94 00:04:52,668 --> 00:04:54,428 Speaker 1: go down the field, they score a touchdown. Let's say 95 00:04:54,468 --> 00:04:56,028 Speaker 1: they kick an extra point. They go up seven. There's 96 00:04:56,068 --> 00:04:58,908 Speaker 1: four minutes left. Okay, next team gets the ball. We 97 00:04:58,948 --> 00:05:00,828 Speaker 1: got the ball, we get to go. We go down 98 00:05:00,828 --> 00:05:02,588 Speaker 1: the field and score a touchdown. I think we're going 99 00:05:02,588 --> 00:05:05,548 Speaker 1: for two, and there's ninety second slot. We're going to 100 00:05:05,748 --> 00:05:08,068 Speaker 1: end this. We don't want to give the ball back 101 00:05:08,068 --> 00:05:10,868 Speaker 1: to them. So there's that's all. This two point conversion, 102 00:05:10,948 --> 00:05:13,268 Speaker 1: like decision making is fun and yet not rock and 103 00:05:13,348 --> 00:05:15,868 Speaker 1: Jock circus stuff. And the counterpoint to that is something 104 00:05:15,868 --> 00:05:19,148 Speaker 1: I saw a pelisera reporting, which is already these teams 105 00:05:19,188 --> 00:05:22,348 Speaker 1: are saying we want control in overtime. So when we 106 00:05:22,388 --> 00:05:25,268 Speaker 1: score that first touchdown, we're going for two. We're not 107 00:05:25,308 --> 00:05:27,508 Speaker 1: going to kick it and give you the choice. We 108 00:05:27,588 --> 00:05:30,628 Speaker 1: already have the plan to go for two early so 109 00:05:30,668 --> 00:05:32,188 Speaker 1: that we can't sit there and let you do it. 110 00:05:32,188 --> 00:05:34,868 Speaker 1: It's like it's March thirtieth and I want an overtime game. Now. 111 00:05:35,228 --> 00:05:38,228 Speaker 1: This is a rule change, and I'm very proud of 112 00:05:38,268 --> 00:05:41,268 Speaker 1: the owners and the team for actually saying let's change 113 00:05:41,308 --> 00:05:43,468 Speaker 1: this instead of just sitting there, check and going to 114 00:05:43,588 --> 00:05:46,108 Speaker 1: next season. I love it. I'm ready for overtime, Dante, 115 00:05:46,228 --> 00:05:49,708 Speaker 1: Are you fired up? I'm fired down. Come on, I'm 116 00:05:49,708 --> 00:05:54,068 Speaker 1: an opponent of sudden death, so obviously I'm not on 117 00:05:54,108 --> 00:05:56,948 Speaker 1: board with this. And I was at that Chiefs Bills game. 118 00:05:57,228 --> 00:06:01,108 Speaker 1: Trust me, it was a most phenomenal game I think 119 00:06:01,108 --> 00:06:03,188 Speaker 1: I've ever attend. Yeah, I was ready for it to 120 00:06:03,188 --> 00:06:04,988 Speaker 1: be old. I didn't need it to go on and on. 121 00:06:05,068 --> 00:06:09,588 Speaker 1: I had already gotten my entertainment's worth and my looved 122 00:06:09,668 --> 00:06:13,588 Speaker 1: Chiefs have been a part of three postseason overtime games 123 00:06:13,588 --> 00:06:16,348 Speaker 1: since Mahomes has been on board. We've lost two of them. 124 00:06:16,868 --> 00:06:19,028 Speaker 1: When Patrick Mahomes didn't get the ball back, well he 125 00:06:19,068 --> 00:06:20,748 Speaker 1: actually got it back in one, didn't get it back 126 00:06:20,788 --> 00:06:23,988 Speaker 1: versus the Patriots. But for me, the Bengals did a 127 00:06:23,988 --> 00:06:26,748 Speaker 1: great job last season. They earned the right to go 128 00:06:27,068 --> 00:06:31,108 Speaker 1: to the Super Bowl. They stopped Patrick Mahomes in Arrowhead 129 00:06:31,308 --> 00:06:35,308 Speaker 1: and got the job. Defense defense, play defense. And when 130 00:06:35,348 --> 00:06:38,788 Speaker 1: the Patriots beat my Chiefs and Arrowhead in twenty eighteen, 131 00:06:38,788 --> 00:06:41,948 Speaker 1: I believe it was we couldn't stop them on third down. 132 00:06:42,028 --> 00:06:45,268 Speaker 1: They converted three straight thirds downs. Then they deserve to win. 133 00:06:45,388 --> 00:06:48,588 Speaker 1: So for me, been a propomanent of sudden death. I'm 134 00:06:48,628 --> 00:06:50,508 Speaker 1: not on board with this, but hey, it is what 135 00:06:50,548 --> 00:06:54,068 Speaker 1: it is we need to do. I need it. Does 136 00:06:54,148 --> 00:06:58,028 Speaker 1: sort of feel like the league was listening to the fans, right, like, wait, 137 00:06:58,108 --> 00:07:00,028 Speaker 1: you guys want to right, let's trip up our rules 138 00:07:00,028 --> 00:07:01,828 Speaker 1: and let's change it and do any jerk reaction. The 139 00:07:01,828 --> 00:07:04,708 Speaker 1: truth is, though they're saying it was data driven, Since 140 00:07:04,788 --> 00:07:08,588 Speaker 1: twenty ten, there have been twelve postseason games that have 141 00:07:08,708 --> 00:07:11,268 Speaker 1: gone to overtime, and ten of those twelve games the 142 00:07:11,308 --> 00:07:13,508 Speaker 1: team that got the ball first. So they're saying that's 143 00:07:13,508 --> 00:07:15,708 Speaker 1: a disparity, we have to change that now. When they 144 00:07:15,708 --> 00:07:17,228 Speaker 1: did it in two thousand and nine, just to give 145 00:07:17,268 --> 00:07:19,468 Speaker 1: you a history lesson, what they ruling was you can't 146 00:07:19,468 --> 00:07:20,868 Speaker 1: win on just a field goal in the first drive. 147 00:07:20,908 --> 00:07:22,908 Speaker 1: The other team is, well, why because field goal kickers 148 00:07:22,908 --> 00:07:25,948 Speaker 1: were suddenly booting fifty five yards two complete passes, kick 149 00:07:25,948 --> 00:07:27,468 Speaker 1: a field goal, we win the game. This one who 150 00:07:27,508 --> 00:07:29,228 Speaker 1: was like, these offenses are throwing the ball all over 151 00:07:29,228 --> 00:07:30,988 Speaker 1: the yard right now, like we have to adjust for that. 152 00:07:31,188 --> 00:07:33,788 Speaker 1: We'll say this, and you kind of mentioned it about 153 00:07:33,908 --> 00:07:36,508 Speaker 1: Jesse Bates having an interception for the Bengals and they 154 00:07:36,788 --> 00:07:38,908 Speaker 1: stopped the Chiefs and they get the thing back and 155 00:07:38,988 --> 00:07:40,148 Speaker 1: we get to go. I feel like this is the 156 00:07:40,228 --> 00:07:42,988 Speaker 1: league's way of saying like, yeah, it's an offensive league, yes, 157 00:07:43,348 --> 00:07:45,508 Speaker 1: and we're going to just lean into that. And I 158 00:07:45,588 --> 00:07:48,868 Speaker 1: think your proponents who say defense wins championships, and look 159 00:07:48,868 --> 00:07:50,468 Speaker 1: what at the end of the game, Aaron Donald was 160 00:07:50,508 --> 00:07:51,988 Speaker 1: the reason why the Rams won. They had to make 161 00:07:52,028 --> 00:07:54,188 Speaker 1: a stop. I think this is an offensive league. You 162 00:07:54,188 --> 00:07:56,348 Speaker 1: look at the head coaches who are being hired right now, 163 00:07:56,428 --> 00:07:58,428 Speaker 1: You look at the way we glorify offense. You look 164 00:07:58,428 --> 00:08:00,268 Speaker 1: at the numbers across the board. Points are way up, 165 00:08:00,308 --> 00:08:02,028 Speaker 1: and I think the league had to adjust the overtime 166 00:08:02,108 --> 00:08:05,468 Speaker 1: rules to lean into the fact that defense matters. Offensive 167 00:08:05,468 --> 00:08:08,348 Speaker 1: matters more right now? Yea. And as a true traditionalist, 168 00:08:08,668 --> 00:08:10,908 Speaker 1: and I think of like the Bill Kowers, and I 169 00:08:10,948 --> 00:08:13,628 Speaker 1: think of the Bill Belichicks, like the defensive head coaches, 170 00:08:13,788 --> 00:08:15,868 Speaker 1: I feel like this time is changing and it's really 171 00:08:15,948 --> 00:08:18,668 Speaker 1: leaning towards the offense, and that to me is for shame. 172 00:08:18,708 --> 00:08:20,708 Speaker 1: I would have liked to have seen these rules maybe 173 00:08:20,868 --> 00:08:22,988 Speaker 1: give the defense an equal standing, But on this one, 174 00:08:22,988 --> 00:08:24,588 Speaker 1: it seems like the league's like, it's an offensive league. 175 00:08:24,588 --> 00:08:26,468 Speaker 1: We got to adjust. I want to touch on what 176 00:08:26,508 --> 00:08:28,588 Speaker 1: you said. You said that maybe the NFL listened to 177 00:08:28,628 --> 00:08:30,028 Speaker 1: the fans, but they've had this doubt, and they've had 178 00:08:30,028 --> 00:08:31,548 Speaker 1: the doubt they started taking this out. I went in 179 00:08:31,548 --> 00:08:33,708 Speaker 1: twenty ten, they said, I do think that they listened 180 00:08:33,708 --> 00:08:35,668 Speaker 1: to the fans. And credit to the NFL for making 181 00:08:35,708 --> 00:08:38,108 Speaker 1: this change, because this one absolutely viral. A coin has 182 00:08:38,148 --> 00:08:42,788 Speaker 1: never been talked about more. Ever, maybe okay, I want 183 00:08:42,828 --> 00:08:46,708 Speaker 1: more postseason football January. You're starting to see the end 184 00:08:46,708 --> 00:08:48,708 Speaker 1: of the tunnel, and it's a little scary, like I'm 185 00:08:48,708 --> 00:08:51,428 Speaker 1: about to crawl back into my hole. I'm playing golf. 186 00:08:51,468 --> 00:08:53,908 Speaker 1: I'm freaking out at this point. I want to see 187 00:08:54,028 --> 00:08:56,548 Speaker 1: more of these moments. I want to live in the 188 00:08:57,308 --> 00:09:00,308 Speaker 1: Travis Kelsey, Patrick Mollomes, Patrick Mallomes heart rate and drops. 189 00:09:00,388 --> 00:09:02,708 Speaker 1: I want more of these thirteen seconds when it's grim 190 00:09:02,708 --> 00:09:06,668 Speaker 1: be the grim Reaper. I want more. I want more bills. 191 00:09:06,708 --> 00:09:08,788 Speaker 1: I don't want to see Josh Allen on the sideline 192 00:09:08,828 --> 00:09:11,588 Speaker 1: being depressed. Nobody wants to see that. The game was 193 00:09:11,748 --> 00:09:14,588 Speaker 1: the craziest game you've ever been to. You were done. 194 00:09:14,708 --> 00:09:16,548 Speaker 1: I know why you were done. You wanted the Kansas 195 00:09:16,588 --> 00:09:21,188 Speaker 1: City James have done because you were. You were finished 196 00:09:21,188 --> 00:09:24,348 Speaker 1: with the entertainment. I'm not buying. I wonder if Andre 197 00:09:24,468 --> 00:09:27,548 Speaker 1: Reid was done with that game. You know it was 198 00:09:27,708 --> 00:09:31,068 Speaker 1: a little chilly. Josh Allen had the ball four times 199 00:09:31,068 --> 00:09:33,148 Speaker 1: in that quarter. I believe like they each had so 200 00:09:33,188 --> 00:09:35,748 Speaker 1: many opportunities just in the fourth quarter alone to get 201 00:09:35,748 --> 00:09:38,148 Speaker 1: it done, both defenses and both offenses. Why do we 202 00:09:38,188 --> 00:09:40,628 Speaker 1: need another ten minutes I know it's a tough morning 203 00:09:40,668 --> 00:09:42,548 Speaker 1: for the play defense mafia. I know that, and I 204 00:09:42,588 --> 00:09:44,988 Speaker 1: know they've been bounding the table and I respect them. 205 00:09:45,268 --> 00:09:48,388 Speaker 1: And it's always they're always like, make a stop. They can't, 206 00:09:48,588 --> 00:09:52,668 Speaker 1: all right, I think these defenses are depleted. Oftentimes the 207 00:09:52,748 --> 00:09:55,588 Speaker 1: defense that takes the field and overtime just was on 208 00:09:55,628 --> 00:09:57,828 Speaker 1: the field for a game time drive. So it's back 209 00:09:57,828 --> 00:10:00,428 Speaker 1: to back drives. All the rules favor the offense and 210 00:10:00,468 --> 00:10:01,948 Speaker 1: if you want it even to make it drive, even 211 00:10:01,988 --> 00:10:03,988 Speaker 1: in this new system. All right, So you lose the toss, 212 00:10:04,628 --> 00:10:06,468 Speaker 1: the team, make them putting the kick a field goal, 213 00:10:06,508 --> 00:10:09,588 Speaker 1: you win. It's part of it. I just saw it happening. 214 00:10:09,708 --> 00:10:12,268 Speaker 1: Love Bengals. I'm not like there's no defense factors in 215 00:10:12,348 --> 00:10:14,188 Speaker 1: this at all. The Chiefs had the ball at the 216 00:10:14,228 --> 00:10:16,828 Speaker 1: end of regulation, the Bengals stop them, force them to 217 00:10:16,908 --> 00:10:19,068 Speaker 1: a field goal. They then lose the coin toss, and 218 00:10:19,068 --> 00:10:20,628 Speaker 1: then stop them and win a game. I don't I 219 00:10:20,668 --> 00:10:22,668 Speaker 1: know that's knee jerk to say, like everyone's pointing to 220 00:10:22,828 --> 00:10:26,708 Speaker 1: Bill's Everyone's pointing to sorry Bill's cheese. The following week, 221 00:10:26,748 --> 00:10:31,228 Speaker 1: the opposite happened exactly. I never again, we're gluttons, we 222 00:10:31,268 --> 00:10:36,268 Speaker 1: are Gluttons at some point, why not at some point? Yes, 223 00:10:36,468 --> 00:10:38,428 Speaker 1: this way great, Rachel. We're gonna get a double overtime 224 00:10:38,428 --> 00:10:43,588 Speaker 1: game next year. It's gonna be speed dial Peter Schrager. Now, 225 00:10:45,508 --> 00:10:48,388 Speaker 1: Robert Kraft and Bill Belichick were both in attendance at 226 00:10:48,428 --> 00:10:50,668 Speaker 1: the NFL League meetings this week. Is they continue to 227 00:10:50,708 --> 00:10:54,428 Speaker 1: game plan for the twenty twenty two season. Yesterday, Robert 228 00:10:54,468 --> 00:10:57,748 Speaker 1: Kraft spoke out about the Patriots recent playoffs. Kids, take 229 00:10:57,788 --> 00:11:02,908 Speaker 1: a listen. I'm a Patriot fan, big time first, and 230 00:11:03,188 --> 00:11:06,548 Speaker 1: more than anything, it bothers me that we haven't been 231 00:11:06,588 --> 00:11:10,348 Speaker 1: able to win a playoff game in the last three years. 232 00:11:10,708 --> 00:11:15,708 Speaker 1: And I'm happy that we had a great I think 233 00:11:15,748 --> 00:11:18,468 Speaker 1: we had a great draft last year and it made 234 00:11:18,588 --> 00:11:22,948 Speaker 1: up for what happened the previous four years or so, 235 00:11:23,268 --> 00:11:28,068 Speaker 1: and I look forward to hopefully having a great draft 236 00:11:28,148 --> 00:11:33,108 Speaker 1: this year. I'm not mad. I'm just disappointed. It was 237 00:11:33,148 --> 00:11:34,948 Speaker 1: giving me those vibes right now at a time for 238 00:11:35,148 --> 00:11:37,308 Speaker 1: a game called Believe it or not. I don't make 239 00:11:37,308 --> 00:11:38,948 Speaker 1: a statement, and you guys will tell me if you 240 00:11:38,988 --> 00:11:42,348 Speaker 1: agree or disagree. All right, believe it or not, the 241 00:11:42,388 --> 00:11:46,108 Speaker 1: Patriots are in a better position to win a playoff 242 00:11:46,148 --> 00:11:48,388 Speaker 1: game today than they were at the end of the 243 00:11:48,428 --> 00:11:51,388 Speaker 1: twenty twenty one season. Tracks do not believe it. I 244 00:11:51,388 --> 00:11:54,228 Speaker 1: think they lost some serious talent, both on the field 245 00:11:54,348 --> 00:11:56,908 Speaker 1: and on the sidelines. I think Josh McDaniels leaving is 246 00:11:56,948 --> 00:11:59,348 Speaker 1: a huge deal for the development of Mac Jones. I 247 00:11:59,348 --> 00:12:01,988 Speaker 1: think Mick Lombardi, who is Josh McDaniels is number two, 248 00:12:02,148 --> 00:12:03,988 Speaker 1: who left with him to go to Vegas, is a 249 00:12:04,108 --> 00:12:06,348 Speaker 1: huge deal for the development of Mac Jones. I also 250 00:12:06,388 --> 00:12:09,068 Speaker 1: think they lost really good players like jac Jackson is 251 00:12:09,108 --> 00:12:10,948 Speaker 1: a really good player and he'll be playing for the 252 00:12:11,068 --> 00:12:14,188 Speaker 1: Chargers right now. They lost some glue guys, Brandon Bolden's 253 00:12:14,228 --> 00:12:17,268 Speaker 1: been there forever, Shaq Mason they traded to the Buccaneers, 254 00:12:17,428 --> 00:12:20,548 Speaker 1: really good player. All of this adds up. And even 255 00:12:20,588 --> 00:12:24,148 Speaker 1: Jacob Johnson, the big fullback from Germany who we've grown 256 00:12:24,188 --> 00:12:26,388 Speaker 1: to love as a Patriot, is now are the Raiders 257 00:12:26,428 --> 00:12:28,228 Speaker 1: as well. He's not on this board at the moment. 258 00:12:28,708 --> 00:12:30,628 Speaker 1: I think they lost some serious things. But here's the 259 00:12:30,708 --> 00:12:33,028 Speaker 1: asterick on that. Robert Kraft mentioned it. When you're talking 260 00:12:33,068 --> 00:12:35,148 Speaker 1: about that quo. They drafted really well last year because 261 00:12:35,188 --> 00:12:36,468 Speaker 1: the first time in a half decade that you can 262 00:12:36,468 --> 00:12:37,948 Speaker 1: look at the Patriots draft a year later and be 263 00:12:37,988 --> 00:12:39,668 Speaker 1: like that was an a plus draft. They nailed it, 264 00:12:39,788 --> 00:12:42,228 Speaker 1: first round, second round, throun They've got some real players 265 00:12:42,268 --> 00:12:45,508 Speaker 1: on this team. Let's see again after the draft what 266 00:12:45,548 --> 00:12:47,908 Speaker 1: the Patriots roster looks like. But I don't think you 267 00:12:47,948 --> 00:12:50,988 Speaker 1: can underestimate how important Josh McDaniels was for that offense. 268 00:12:51,028 --> 00:12:52,548 Speaker 1: And to just say, ah, they're in a good spot 269 00:12:52,548 --> 00:12:54,748 Speaker 1: because Mac Jones was good last year is not telling 270 00:12:54,748 --> 00:12:58,348 Speaker 1: the complete story. I'm going with not. I'm with you, Peter. 271 00:12:58,548 --> 00:13:00,628 Speaker 1: I just don't see it. It's too much talent and 272 00:13:00,708 --> 00:13:04,628 Speaker 1: the AFC overall. And I like Mac Jones, but I 273 00:13:04,668 --> 00:13:07,868 Speaker 1: don't love Mac Jones. I love Joe Burrow, I love 274 00:13:07,948 --> 00:13:11,828 Speaker 1: Russell Wilson, Patrick Mahomes, Josh Allen, I love those. Justin Herbert, 275 00:13:12,108 --> 00:13:14,628 Speaker 1: Justin Herbert, He's on the list as well. So in 276 00:13:14,668 --> 00:13:16,788 Speaker 1: this league you mentioned earlier in the last segment, it's 277 00:13:17,108 --> 00:13:20,068 Speaker 1: offensive league. If you don't have a transcendent quarterback, you're 278 00:13:20,108 --> 00:13:23,348 Speaker 1: just not gonna win. And think about the Alabama quarterbacks 279 00:13:23,348 --> 00:13:26,428 Speaker 1: that have come out. Who's really had a great success 280 00:13:26,508 --> 00:13:31,068 Speaker 1: in the Sabler maybe Joe Namath. Other than that, look 281 00:13:31,068 --> 00:13:33,428 Speaker 1: at the records of the quarterback. So I think because 282 00:13:33,868 --> 00:13:36,828 Speaker 1: Alabama is so dominant that these quarterbacks that come into 283 00:13:36,868 --> 00:13:39,948 Speaker 1: the NFL are just not used to really having to 284 00:13:39,988 --> 00:13:43,428 Speaker 1: compete like a Deshon Watson did at Clemson versus a 285 00:13:43,508 --> 00:13:46,588 Speaker 1: Nick Saban brand Alabama defense. So for me, I don't 286 00:13:46,588 --> 00:13:48,788 Speaker 1: see it because I just don't think they will be 287 00:13:48,788 --> 00:13:51,628 Speaker 1: able to overcome the other great quarterbacks in then FFC 288 00:13:51,948 --> 00:13:53,828 Speaker 1: as well as the great team. They got another Alabama 289 00:13:53,868 --> 00:13:56,108 Speaker 1: quarterback in the division to a tongu of Vi Lord 290 00:13:56,228 --> 00:13:58,748 Speaker 1: who now has like a couple of Lamborghinians to drive. 291 00:13:58,828 --> 00:14:01,028 Speaker 1: I'm really tempted to say yes because of the respect 292 00:14:01,028 --> 00:14:02,668 Speaker 1: that had for the Patriots and the jump that Mac 293 00:14:02,748 --> 00:14:04,868 Speaker 1: Jones could make. I just can't. You couldn't win a 294 00:14:04,908 --> 00:14:06,988 Speaker 1: playoff game last year. You got Houston fact in your 295 00:14:06,988 --> 00:14:09,868 Speaker 1: only playoff game, and now you're gonna play the Broncos 296 00:14:09,868 --> 00:14:12,268 Speaker 1: of Russell Wilson, the Charges with everybody, the Bills with 297 00:14:12,388 --> 00:14:15,508 Speaker 1: now Von Miller, the Browns with Deshaun Watson, even like 298 00:14:15,548 --> 00:14:18,348 Speaker 1: the kind of low key ones like the Colts with 299 00:14:18,388 --> 00:14:20,908 Speaker 1: Matt Ryan, like that probably matters. Maybe in the playoffs. 300 00:14:20,908 --> 00:14:23,708 Speaker 1: Even the Ravens now will have Lamar healthy, hopefully that 301 00:14:24,068 --> 00:14:25,508 Speaker 1: was not a factor at the end of last year, 302 00:14:25,588 --> 00:14:28,308 Speaker 1: so they lost some talent. Maybe mac Jones is way better. 303 00:14:28,748 --> 00:14:30,508 Speaker 1: What did you do to arm up in this like 304 00:14:30,588 --> 00:14:33,268 Speaker 1: AFC arms race, other than just say we're Belichick and 305 00:14:33,308 --> 00:14:35,428 Speaker 1: you're not, which might work, But there's just so many 306 00:14:35,428 --> 00:14:37,388 Speaker 1: good pos not only in the East, the whole thing, 307 00:14:37,428 --> 00:14:38,988 Speaker 1: and that's what they'll run into. So I think my 308 00:14:39,028 --> 00:14:41,348 Speaker 1: answer is no, and that's a sweep, unless Benetti, you 309 00:14:41,348 --> 00:14:45,268 Speaker 1: want to go up a sweep, not a sweet I'm 310 00:14:45,268 --> 00:14:48,588 Speaker 1: going to believe it. You mentioned all of these crazy quarterbacks, 311 00:14:48,588 --> 00:14:51,588 Speaker 1: and I know the AFC is absolutely wild, but everyone 312 00:14:51,628 --> 00:14:53,908 Speaker 1: counted out the Patriots last year. They went on a 313 00:14:54,068 --> 00:14:58,908 Speaker 1: seven game care and they held those offenses to about 314 00:14:58,908 --> 00:15:01,268 Speaker 1: an average of ten points per game. They shut down 315 00:15:01,268 --> 00:15:03,588 Speaker 1: a lot of offenses in those seven games that they 316 00:15:03,588 --> 00:15:06,108 Speaker 1: may run the ball. Yeah, they ran the ball. And 317 00:15:06,388 --> 00:15:08,628 Speaker 1: mac Jones give him another year. Kyle and I interviewed 318 00:15:08,668 --> 00:15:10,428 Speaker 1: him on the red carpet at NFL Honors. What an 319 00:15:10,468 --> 00:15:15,468 Speaker 1: absolute jam he's growing up he under Bill Belichick. Of 320 00:15:15,548 --> 00:15:18,468 Speaker 1: all people, Listen, we counted them out last year. Midway 321 00:15:18,508 --> 00:15:21,668 Speaker 1: through the season, I start seeing Patriots pop up on 322 00:15:21,748 --> 00:15:25,108 Speaker 1: Super Bowl picks and it's like, okay, here we go again. Baby. 323 00:15:25,428 --> 00:15:27,628 Speaker 1: Maybe it's just you can just say it's Bill Belichick. 324 00:15:27,748 --> 00:15:32,588 Speaker 1: It is guys, I'm sorry, and Tom Brady he was 325 00:15:32,588 --> 00:15:37,108 Speaker 1: in the playoffs with Easy to Do season. They spent 326 00:15:37,348 --> 00:15:40,228 Speaker 1: the league's most money in free agency, and they drafted 327 00:15:40,268 --> 00:15:42,508 Speaker 1: a rookie quarterback who played at ten out of ten 328 00:15:42,508 --> 00:15:44,428 Speaker 1: on the expectation scale at that and they still lost 329 00:15:44,428 --> 00:15:46,548 Speaker 1: in the wild in a round and lost fifty I 330 00:15:46,588 --> 00:15:49,628 Speaker 1: don't know, shell, See all right, what is going on 331 00:15:49,628 --> 00:15:53,028 Speaker 1: with Lamar Jackson and his contract situation with the Ravens? 332 00:15:53,028 --> 00:15:56,028 Speaker 1: Will the former MVP get paid before the start of 333 00:15:56,068 --> 00:15:58,788 Speaker 1: the season. We're going to dive into that straight ahead, 334 00:15:58,788 --> 00:16:13,428 Speaker 1: and they don't go anywhere. Let's go ye, good morning, 335 00:16:13,628 --> 00:16:21,108 Speaker 1: fall give us two Lamar Jackson, He'll keep it on 336 00:16:21,188 --> 00:16:24,508 Speaker 1: the right option and flip can go, I head touchdown. 337 00:16:26,628 --> 00:16:33,268 Speaker 1: Jackson's gotta staff your cups, rusher unbelievable. Jackson's roll up 338 00:16:33,268 --> 00:16:36,548 Speaker 1: their down pocket flatter in fact, pedal phunts, once sized, 339 00:16:36,588 --> 00:16:40,548 Speaker 1: attacker bumps to the right, fifty hunts fires end zone touchdown. 340 00:16:41,748 --> 00:16:47,588 Speaker 1: How many more fun to watch than Lamar Jackson? All right, 341 00:16:47,628 --> 00:16:49,508 Speaker 1: Time to the lead, block, Time to the lead, block, 342 00:16:49,508 --> 00:16:52,708 Speaker 1: and we got some big news for Baltimore yesterday. The 343 00:16:52,908 --> 00:16:55,788 Speaker 1: Ravens have signed their head coach Sean Harbo to a 344 00:16:55,868 --> 00:16:58,868 Speaker 1: three year extension through the year twenty twenty five. He 345 00:16:58,988 --> 00:17:02,548 Speaker 1: is currently the third longest tenured head coach in the NFL, 346 00:17:02,668 --> 00:17:06,108 Speaker 1: behind the one and only Bill Belichick and Mike Tomlin. 347 00:17:06,268 --> 00:17:09,268 Speaker 1: You know who doesn't have an extension yet though, Oh 348 00:17:09,388 --> 00:17:14,108 Speaker 1: I don't know. Their quarterback, Lamar Jackson Shreks. Ravens owner 349 00:17:14,228 --> 00:17:17,108 Speaker 1: Steve Bishotti had some really interesting comments about that contract 350 00:17:17,108 --> 00:17:20,188 Speaker 1: situation as Lamar heads into the final year of his deal. 351 00:17:20,308 --> 00:17:22,228 Speaker 1: What did he say? What do you make of it? 352 00:17:22,468 --> 00:17:24,668 Speaker 1: Tell us the details? Yeah, so, Steve bi Shatti does 353 00:17:24,708 --> 00:17:26,588 Speaker 1: not talk to the media too often. In fact, it's 354 00:17:26,588 --> 00:17:28,668 Speaker 1: been years since he has addressed and he's never been 355 00:17:28,748 --> 00:17:31,908 Speaker 1: talking about Lamar's contract. So we hear from Eric DeCosta, 356 00:17:31,948 --> 00:17:34,028 Speaker 1: the GM, we hear from Hardball. It's usually pretty vague 357 00:17:34,028 --> 00:17:36,468 Speaker 1: about what's going on. And then there are several local 358 00:17:36,548 --> 00:17:38,348 Speaker 1: reporters who are in front of Bishotti and they got 359 00:17:38,388 --> 00:17:39,708 Speaker 1: him speak on the record, and here's what he said. 360 00:17:39,708 --> 00:17:42,348 Speaker 1: I thought this was really interesting and insightful into the 361 00:17:42,388 --> 00:17:45,708 Speaker 1: current situation. Take a listen it's unique as hell because 362 00:17:45,908 --> 00:17:48,548 Speaker 1: everybody expects you to say, I've got to get mine now. 363 00:17:49,188 --> 00:17:51,508 Speaker 1: The kid is so obsessed with uning a super Bowl 364 00:17:51,628 --> 00:17:54,788 Speaker 1: that I think deep down he doesn't think he's worthy. 365 00:17:55,188 --> 00:17:58,428 Speaker 1: I think he wants that title to say now, I 366 00:17:58,628 --> 00:18:02,948 Speaker 1: deserve to be on top. People can speculate anyway they want, 367 00:18:03,228 --> 00:18:05,868 Speaker 1: and there's a second pay to this. I don't think 368 00:18:05,948 --> 00:18:08,188 Speaker 1: he is turned on by money that much, and he 369 00:18:08,348 --> 00:18:10,068 Speaker 1: knows it's coming one way or the other. He's a 370 00:18:10,188 --> 00:18:12,468 Speaker 1: unique cat. What are you gonna do with a guy 371 00:18:12,548 --> 00:18:14,828 Speaker 1: who wants to be unique? You don't proudbeat him into 372 00:18:14,868 --> 00:18:18,388 Speaker 1: being a conformist. Will we appreciate him? All I know 373 00:18:18,828 --> 00:18:21,588 Speaker 1: is his teamates freaking love him, and the front office 374 00:18:21,668 --> 00:18:25,308 Speaker 1: loves him. It's like, keep doing you, Lamar. What an 375 00:18:25,348 --> 00:18:29,828 Speaker 1: interesting statement because what essentially Steve Bashatti is saying is 376 00:18:30,108 --> 00:18:32,548 Speaker 1: we want to pay Lamar Jackson. We have been very 377 00:18:32,708 --> 00:18:36,188 Speaker 1: upfront about wanting to fay him. He has not engaged 378 00:18:36,228 --> 00:18:38,948 Speaker 1: in the talks with us, and you could be pessimistic 379 00:18:38,948 --> 00:18:41,668 Speaker 1: about it because he wants top dollar. Bashott, He's almost 380 00:18:41,668 --> 00:18:44,068 Speaker 1: saying like money is not even the issue. He feels 381 00:18:44,108 --> 00:18:46,828 Speaker 1: like off of an injury and not winning the Super Bowl, 382 00:18:46,948 --> 00:18:51,388 Speaker 1: yet like, I'm not worthy of that conversation now in reality, 383 00:18:51,468 --> 00:18:53,868 Speaker 1: what's it mean? I don't know, because he did get 384 00:18:53,948 --> 00:18:56,628 Speaker 1: hurt last year and he is a running quarterback. As 385 00:18:56,708 --> 00:18:58,428 Speaker 1: much as we love what he's done in the passing game, 386 00:18:58,468 --> 00:19:00,188 Speaker 1: he is still such a threat in the run game 387 00:19:00,228 --> 00:19:03,388 Speaker 1: that his injury could be more likely than a guy 388 00:19:03,548 --> 00:19:07,508 Speaker 1: who doesn't play as free and as I would say, 389 00:19:07,628 --> 00:19:12,348 Speaker 1: with fear and carelessness as he does. The options are thus, 390 00:19:12,588 --> 00:19:16,508 Speaker 1: they can franchise tag Lamar Jackson, pay him top five average, 391 00:19:16,508 --> 00:19:18,548 Speaker 1: and then franchise tag him again and then sign him 392 00:19:18,548 --> 00:19:21,548 Speaker 1: to a contract. But it sounds to me, based on 393 00:19:21,628 --> 00:19:24,548 Speaker 1: what the owner is saying, it's not the team not 394 00:19:24,668 --> 00:19:28,668 Speaker 1: wanting to pay Lamar, it's Lamar saying, hold up, wait, 395 00:19:28,868 --> 00:19:31,708 Speaker 1: I ain't done and my value is only going to 396 00:19:31,828 --> 00:19:34,268 Speaker 1: go up. I'm not looking to sign at this point 397 00:19:34,348 --> 00:19:36,908 Speaker 1: in my career. I'm ready to make even more money 398 00:19:37,308 --> 00:19:39,748 Speaker 1: when I do the job that I think I can do. 399 00:19:39,948 --> 00:19:42,348 Speaker 1: You want to talk about bet on yourself. When Steve Baschette, 400 00:19:42,508 --> 00:19:45,308 Speaker 1: a multiple billionaire, comes to you and said, basically, here's 401 00:19:45,348 --> 00:19:47,628 Speaker 1: a blank check, and you tell him I'm not quite 402 00:19:47,668 --> 00:19:49,668 Speaker 1: sure I'm ready to engage in those talks. Yet, that 403 00:19:49,828 --> 00:19:52,428 Speaker 1: is a unique cat, and as Steve Baschetti said, it's 404 00:19:52,428 --> 00:19:55,268 Speaker 1: a unique as hell. I'm glad you brought it out 405 00:19:55,268 --> 00:19:57,428 Speaker 1: because I had that thought as well. Maybe he's waiting 406 00:19:57,428 --> 00:19:59,388 Speaker 1: because the cap is gonna go up, He's gonna wait 407 00:19:59,468 --> 00:20:02,068 Speaker 1: to see what other quarterbacks deals are getting done. But 408 00:20:02,108 --> 00:20:03,708 Speaker 1: I just couldn't hang my hat on that. And the 409 00:20:03,748 --> 00:20:06,428 Speaker 1: steps shot quote that you guys missed that I thought 410 00:20:06,548 --> 00:20:09,468 Speaker 1: was very glamorou was I've never heard an owner say 411 00:20:09,668 --> 00:20:11,788 Speaker 1: we'll pay him when he's ready. You never hear that? 412 00:20:11,828 --> 00:20:13,308 Speaker 1: Have you ever heard of I own to say that ever? 413 00:20:13,668 --> 00:20:16,468 Speaker 1: And then my other thought was that lamar not want 414 00:20:16,508 --> 00:20:19,548 Speaker 1: to be there. I'll come. I mean, it's just fifth year. 415 00:20:19,668 --> 00:20:21,548 Speaker 1: I know he's unique. I love lam one of my 416 00:20:21,588 --> 00:20:24,988 Speaker 1: favorite players to watch, listen to everything, right, but who 417 00:20:25,228 --> 00:20:27,628 Speaker 1: is going to turn down two hundred plus million dollars? 418 00:20:28,188 --> 00:20:31,068 Speaker 1: No one is that unique? Um, So it just made 419 00:20:31,108 --> 00:20:33,268 Speaker 1: me think that he not want to be there. Why 420 00:20:33,308 --> 00:20:35,588 Speaker 1: wouldn't you sign? The only reason I could think, you 421 00:20:35,628 --> 00:20:37,268 Speaker 1: don't sign to a place you don't want to be at, 422 00:20:37,468 --> 00:20:40,028 Speaker 1: not saying I have any type of intuition about it 423 00:20:40,108 --> 00:20:41,988 Speaker 1: or anything like that. I'm just trying to wrap my 424 00:20:42,268 --> 00:20:44,308 Speaker 1: head around as the owner wants to pay you, you 425 00:20:44,388 --> 00:20:46,628 Speaker 1: don't want to be paid, You want to wait. Understand 426 00:20:46,668 --> 00:20:49,228 Speaker 1: you're unique, But are we giving him too much credit? 427 00:20:49,388 --> 00:20:52,428 Speaker 1: Like we're saying, Oh, it's because he he loves football 428 00:20:52,428 --> 00:20:54,188 Speaker 1: and he wants to go and play an incredible year 429 00:20:54,188 --> 00:20:56,428 Speaker 1: and then you paid, or that's interesting. I've never thought 430 00:20:56,468 --> 00:20:58,508 Speaker 1: of it. That ston'ly thinker wrapped my head around. He's 431 00:20:58,508 --> 00:21:00,628 Speaker 1: still that can still franchise tag him twice though, so 432 00:21:00,748 --> 00:21:03,148 Speaker 1: it's not you can be a free exactly. And cannot 433 00:21:03,148 --> 00:21:04,788 Speaker 1: wrap my head around it. What do you have? Because 434 00:21:04,788 --> 00:21:06,868 Speaker 1: I'd like to hear from Team Lamar their response to 435 00:21:07,028 --> 00:21:09,068 Speaker 1: that we're such a unique cat and not ready to 436 00:21:09,108 --> 00:21:10,588 Speaker 1: be paid. No, we're ready to be paid, like I 437 00:21:10,788 --> 00:21:13,028 Speaker 1: need to hear, because I don't. I don't really believe 438 00:21:13,108 --> 00:21:15,428 Speaker 1: all that step as Shatty can talk and it is 439 00:21:15,468 --> 00:21:17,628 Speaker 1: actually a really interesting sound. But I'm reminded of a 440 00:21:17,748 --> 00:21:19,508 Speaker 1: unique cat. Reminds me of last summer. It was a 441 00:21:19,548 --> 00:21:23,068 Speaker 1: complicated fella about Aaron Rodgers kind of developing a club here. 442 00:21:23,188 --> 00:21:25,068 Speaker 1: I'll take a shot. Maybe the reason he hasn't been 443 00:21:25,108 --> 00:21:26,908 Speaker 1: paid yet is because they haven't offered him to Shaun 444 00:21:26,948 --> 00:21:29,788 Speaker 1: Watson money that contract looms large and all of this 445 00:21:29,908 --> 00:21:32,428 Speaker 1: stuff and all the stuff moving forward. Lamar a guy 446 00:21:32,508 --> 00:21:36,348 Speaker 1: who's proven more, is more trustworthy, who's gotten farther, who's 447 00:21:36,388 --> 00:21:39,068 Speaker 1: done more winning, who deserves the money if you want 448 00:21:39,068 --> 00:21:41,348 Speaker 1: to use that word, more than Deshaun Watson, if you 449 00:21:41,428 --> 00:21:43,428 Speaker 1: were truly representing him, or if you were just himself, 450 00:21:43,468 --> 00:21:45,428 Speaker 1: why would you take one penny less than Shaun Watson. 451 00:21:45,508 --> 00:21:47,668 Speaker 1: That's not how this game works. It's going rate game. 452 00:21:47,948 --> 00:21:50,748 Speaker 1: This person got this person got that. I also think 453 00:21:50,788 --> 00:21:52,748 Speaker 1: there's a lot of BS here. I think that the 454 00:21:52,908 --> 00:21:54,908 Speaker 1: Ravens are one of ten to twelve teams that just 455 00:21:55,028 --> 00:21:56,948 Speaker 1: like I think they're rock solid with their business. Some 456 00:21:57,068 --> 00:21:58,868 Speaker 1: teams are fast. I think I like the way they 457 00:21:58,908 --> 00:22:01,428 Speaker 1: do business. They draft, they do the contracts Lamar runs 458 00:22:01,428 --> 00:22:04,028 Speaker 1: about eleven to twelve times a game. His passing numbers 459 00:22:04,068 --> 00:22:05,948 Speaker 1: last You're the worst of his career. He got hurt. 460 00:22:06,028 --> 00:22:08,228 Speaker 1: You saw where it went, and they're like, look, we 461 00:22:08,388 --> 00:22:11,348 Speaker 1: love him. He is unbelievably unique. But his someone with 462 00:22:11,468 --> 00:22:13,308 Speaker 1: his skill set right now, let's face it is an 463 00:22:13,348 --> 00:22:16,348 Speaker 1: appreciating asset. And the best contracts are not rewards for 464 00:22:16,428 --> 00:22:18,748 Speaker 1: what you've done their investments in the future. So we're 465 00:22:18,788 --> 00:22:20,828 Speaker 1: not just going to give the world to Lamar right now. 466 00:22:20,868 --> 00:22:22,908 Speaker 1: We're going to see this through and maybe him saying 467 00:22:23,188 --> 00:22:25,828 Speaker 1: unique cat blah blah blah is just we don't want 468 00:22:25,868 --> 00:22:27,588 Speaker 1: to give him the world for the next seven years. 469 00:22:27,628 --> 00:22:30,308 Speaker 1: And we'd liked it some more football and Lamarty's his talk, 470 00:22:30,548 --> 00:22:33,428 Speaker 1: and he had a tweet nineteen hours ago about people 471 00:22:33,428 --> 00:22:34,908 Speaker 1: wore worried about other grown men when you need to 472 00:22:34,948 --> 00:22:37,508 Speaker 1: feed your own families. Basically, don't talk about other people's money, 473 00:22:37,548 --> 00:22:40,228 Speaker 1: which is your name out the mouth, get your name. 474 00:22:41,108 --> 00:22:43,228 Speaker 1: But I'd like to hear Lamar talk about his own 475 00:22:43,588 --> 00:22:48,268 Speaker 1: pockets because his owner is and it's indicating wild things. 476 00:22:48,268 --> 00:22:49,988 Speaker 1: So you don't hear in twenty two about first he 477 00:22:50,148 --> 00:22:52,828 Speaker 1: wants to earn the super Bowl, which is very noble, 478 00:22:52,948 --> 00:22:55,508 Speaker 1: but I wonder how he would really act to that. Yeah, 479 00:22:55,628 --> 00:22:57,388 Speaker 1: are we really giving him too much credit? It's just 480 00:22:57,468 --> 00:22:59,868 Speaker 1: making me think of Kyler Murray and how this is 481 00:22:59,908 --> 00:23:04,028 Speaker 1: the exact opposite and shregs you brought up in your 482 00:23:04,428 --> 00:23:08,668 Speaker 1: quote not turned on by money. Teammates absolutely love him 483 00:23:08,868 --> 00:23:11,068 Speaker 1: like it is a unique cat because we don't see 484 00:23:11,108 --> 00:23:13,268 Speaker 1: this situation. We see guys like Aaron Rodgers holding out. 485 00:23:13,308 --> 00:23:14,668 Speaker 1: We see all of these guys holding out and not 486 00:23:14,708 --> 00:23:17,428 Speaker 1: playing football until they get paid. This guy's like, but 487 00:23:17,628 --> 00:23:19,788 Speaker 1: then don't. Hey, you've brought up a good point too. 488 00:23:19,908 --> 00:23:22,068 Speaker 1: Now my brain is absolutely frazzled. I'm going back to 489 00:23:22,148 --> 00:23:25,188 Speaker 1: this last season and there were so many games where 490 00:23:25,188 --> 00:23:27,348 Speaker 1: we're like, is Lamar Jackson gonna play this week? Or 491 00:23:27,468 --> 00:23:30,388 Speaker 1: is he sick? Or is he injured? Maybe he doesn't 492 00:23:30,428 --> 00:23:32,268 Speaker 1: want to be here. They were riddled with injuries at 493 00:23:32,268 --> 00:23:34,108 Speaker 1: the top of the season. Maybe this is not his year, 494 00:23:34,148 --> 00:23:38,028 Speaker 1: maybe he's maybe he's saving himself for next season. I 495 00:23:38,188 --> 00:23:40,788 Speaker 1: have so many questions. I have more questions now than 496 00:23:40,828 --> 00:23:43,828 Speaker 1: when this question started. I have no idea what's going on. 497 00:23:44,308 --> 00:23:46,468 Speaker 1: I'll add in on the Watson thing, but Shaddieri spoke 498 00:23:46,588 --> 00:23:49,188 Speaker 1: already talked about it and it made a lot of headlines. 499 00:23:49,188 --> 00:23:51,188 Speaker 1: But Shade was like, it's disappointing that I don't know 500 00:23:51,188 --> 00:23:53,068 Speaker 1: if disappoints were but they would give de Shaun Watson 501 00:23:53,108 --> 00:23:56,068 Speaker 1: two hundred thirty million dollars guaranteed. It changes everything because 502 00:23:56,108 --> 00:23:58,148 Speaker 1: if you give that guy with what he's got going 503 00:23:58,228 --> 00:23:59,788 Speaker 1: on and what he hasn't won in the League two 504 00:23:59,868 --> 00:24:02,588 Speaker 1: hundred and thirty million dollars guaranteed. Not only does it 505 00:24:02,708 --> 00:24:04,748 Speaker 1: set the stage and raise the bar, but what messages 506 00:24:04,748 --> 00:24:07,148 Speaker 1: that give to these other young players that like, you 507 00:24:07,228 --> 00:24:09,628 Speaker 1: can do anything you want and you can deal with anything, 508 00:24:09,708 --> 00:24:11,188 Speaker 1: we will pay you if you were a quarterback of 509 00:24:11,268 --> 00:24:13,708 Speaker 1: that level. Now, as someone who is probably at least 510 00:24:13,748 --> 00:24:15,868 Speaker 1: talking about the numbers, the Watson numbers have to come 511 00:24:15,908 --> 00:24:17,388 Speaker 1: in and the Ravens, to your point, Kyle, have to 512 00:24:17,428 --> 00:24:19,828 Speaker 1: be like, well, gosh, like we had this great offer, 513 00:24:19,908 --> 00:24:22,428 Speaker 1: but rip it up because that to pay more. You 514 00:24:22,468 --> 00:24:25,148 Speaker 1: can't pay Deshaun Watson more than Lar Jackson. At this point, 515 00:24:30,548 --> 00:24:35,308 Speaker 1: there it is. Here we are. So if you saw 516 00:24:35,308 --> 00:24:36,748 Speaker 1: it on the internet, you had one experience. I was 517 00:24:36,788 --> 00:24:39,188 Speaker 1: watching it live and when it happened, it was like this, 518 00:24:40,188 --> 00:24:42,428 Speaker 1: like they went to a cut, then the sound's gone. 519 00:24:42,428 --> 00:24:45,468 Speaker 1: You see Will Smith from the stand all muted, and 520 00:24:45,548 --> 00:24:47,028 Speaker 1: you're like, what happened? And then the next second like 521 00:24:47,188 --> 00:24:49,428 Speaker 1: Chris Rock is all frazzled and he's like, we're giving 522 00:24:49,468 --> 00:24:51,548 Speaker 1: out a documentary. I mean, we're giving out an oscar. 523 00:24:51,708 --> 00:24:55,428 Speaker 1: Like he was all free winds crying about the father, 524 00:24:55,548 --> 00:24:57,428 Speaker 1: and he didn't know what happened. It was truly a 525 00:24:57,628 --> 00:25:00,828 Speaker 1: shocking moment and a moment where you're like, I've seen 526 00:25:00,868 --> 00:25:04,468 Speaker 1: everything in the world and then this happens. How and 527 00:25:04,588 --> 00:25:08,348 Speaker 1: do we get truly shocking moments and how often do 528 00:25:08,428 --> 00:25:10,708 Speaker 1: we get them in the NFL? With that, I give 529 00:25:10,748 --> 00:25:16,388 Speaker 1: you a segment we're calling Schrager's Shockers. Yeah, it's not 530 00:25:16,628 --> 00:25:20,428 Speaker 1: the craziest finishes in NFL history, it's not the wildest plays. 531 00:25:21,268 --> 00:25:24,148 Speaker 1: It's the moments that if you had been having Twitter 532 00:25:24,228 --> 00:25:26,108 Speaker 1: when they happened, it would be on fire, or if 533 00:25:26,148 --> 00:25:27,748 Speaker 1: you're watching in real time, you're like, this can't really 534 00:25:27,788 --> 00:25:31,948 Speaker 1: be happy. Rewind it, it can't really be happening. Number five, 535 00:25:32,028 --> 00:25:35,468 Speaker 1: it's a rather recent one. Let's go to the game. 536 00:25:35,588 --> 00:25:38,828 Speaker 1: This is what happens. Colin kaepern It goes back, throws 537 00:25:38,868 --> 00:25:41,388 Speaker 1: a deep pass Michael crabtrees in the end zone, but 538 00:25:41,428 --> 00:25:45,268 Speaker 1: it gets deflected by Richard Sherman, and Malcolm Smith picks 539 00:25:45,348 --> 00:25:47,988 Speaker 1: it off. None of us know the backstory at the time, 540 00:25:48,428 --> 00:25:51,108 Speaker 1: and Aaron Andrews, who has been doing a fantastic job 541 00:25:51,148 --> 00:25:53,388 Speaker 1: her entire career and has done it since, then goes 542 00:25:53,428 --> 00:25:56,628 Speaker 1: to interview Richard Sherman about this very positive awesome game 543 00:25:56,708 --> 00:25:59,428 Speaker 1: stealing play and we're all watching at home, and this 544 00:25:59,708 --> 00:26:03,788 Speaker 1: is the interview that followed. Let me ask you play, 545 00:26:03,988 --> 00:26:06,428 Speaker 1: take me through it well on the best corner of 546 00:26:06,508 --> 00:26:08,828 Speaker 1: the game. Will you try me? What a sorry favorite 547 00:26:08,828 --> 00:26:11,708 Speaker 1: like Craftree, that's the results you're gonna get. Don't you 548 00:26:11,868 --> 00:26:15,188 Speaker 1: that we're talking about me? Who was talking about you? Crafty? 549 00:26:15,228 --> 00:26:17,348 Speaker 1: Don't you help me your mouths? Are you on? As? 550 00:26:17,348 --> 00:26:20,908 Speaker 1: Set up for you? Real quick? It was one of 551 00:26:20,988 --> 00:26:23,508 Speaker 1: the first Twitter moments that went truly viral, and to 552 00:26:23,628 --> 00:26:25,988 Speaker 1: this day, I see that energy and I see that 553 00:26:26,108 --> 00:26:29,828 Speaker 1: response and I'm like, who, Like how was something truly 554 00:26:29,908 --> 00:26:32,988 Speaker 1: a shocking moment when usually these postgame interviews, I want 555 00:26:33,028 --> 00:26:34,948 Speaker 1: to thank my teammates, I want to thank my friends 556 00:26:34,988 --> 00:26:36,908 Speaker 1: and gosh, and we're going to the Super Bowl. No, 557 00:26:37,148 --> 00:26:41,148 Speaker 1: Sherman had a different energy. Shocking energy. Number four. This 558 00:26:41,268 --> 00:26:45,108 Speaker 1: actually happened in a game Week fourteen, nineteen eighty two 559 00:26:45,908 --> 00:26:49,908 Speaker 1: strikes shortened season. The Don Shula led Dolphins go to 560 00:26:49,988 --> 00:26:52,628 Speaker 1: New England and it's zero zero with less than a 561 00:26:52,708 --> 00:26:55,788 Speaker 1: minute to go late in the fourth quarter. The Patriots 562 00:26:55,828 --> 00:26:58,148 Speaker 1: get just close en up on their home field to 563 00:26:58,308 --> 00:27:00,588 Speaker 1: kick a field goal, but it's such terrible weather. What's 564 00:27:00,628 --> 00:27:02,988 Speaker 1: going to happen? This actually happens in an NFL game. 565 00:27:04,948 --> 00:27:07,988 Speaker 1: They brought the throw out and cured off for shock 566 00:27:08,228 --> 00:27:11,108 Speaker 1: or John Smith from a twenty three yard rhyme and 567 00:27:11,868 --> 00:27:15,188 Speaker 1: a hopping man aboard. I've never seen anything like that. There. 568 00:27:15,308 --> 00:27:17,908 Speaker 1: It is good, snap, shut down and get to kicks up. 569 00:27:18,388 --> 00:27:23,708 Speaker 1: He has about that. It's good. Can you imagine they 570 00:27:23,868 --> 00:27:26,988 Speaker 1: brought a snowplow out to clear out the snow where 571 00:27:27,028 --> 00:27:29,548 Speaker 1: the field goal would be kicked. The guy who did it, 572 00:27:29,668 --> 00:27:33,948 Speaker 1: this is unbelievable. Mark Henderson was a convict on work 573 00:27:34,068 --> 00:27:37,748 Speaker 1: release who was working the snowplow that day. He became 574 00:27:37,748 --> 00:27:40,428 Speaker 1: a New England folk hero and he had an amazing 575 00:27:40,468 --> 00:27:42,468 Speaker 1: quote after he was like, I already was a convict. 576 00:27:42,468 --> 00:27:44,308 Speaker 1: What were they gonna do with me? Throw me in jail. 577 00:27:45,548 --> 00:27:48,068 Speaker 1: The league would go on to immediately ban the use 578 00:27:48,108 --> 00:27:52,108 Speaker 1: of snowplows during a game, and of course Don Shula 579 00:27:52,268 --> 00:27:55,428 Speaker 1: did protest the outcome, but Pete Rozzel was kind of like, 580 00:27:55,628 --> 00:27:58,708 Speaker 1: it's all right, let's move on number three. Wow, let's 581 00:27:58,748 --> 00:28:00,668 Speaker 1: go to the super Bowl, the biggest game ever. The 582 00:28:00,788 --> 00:28:03,708 Speaker 1: Ravens are up twenty one to six at half Jakobe 583 00:28:03,788 --> 00:28:06,388 Speaker 1: Jones returned the opening kick. It's twenty eight to six. 584 00:28:06,788 --> 00:28:08,268 Speaker 1: It looks like the Ravens are on the way for 585 00:28:08,348 --> 00:28:10,228 Speaker 1: a blow in the Super Bowl. With three hundred million 586 00:28:10,228 --> 00:28:14,588 Speaker 1: people watching. What happens? Why the clock stop over? The 587 00:28:14,748 --> 00:28:17,268 Speaker 1: lights on the forty nine ers side of the Superdome 588 00:28:17,428 --> 00:28:21,268 Speaker 1: are out. Can only imagine the scramble officials are going through. 589 00:28:21,788 --> 00:28:26,028 Speaker 1: This has blocked into the surreal. We're working on it now. 590 00:28:26,188 --> 00:28:28,188 Speaker 1: They should have it up in fifteen minutes. So if 591 00:28:28,188 --> 00:28:30,348 Speaker 1: you want to let the bench just know. I'm all 592 00:28:30,388 --> 00:28:32,068 Speaker 1: at the clock. I'm like, why is the clock stop? 593 00:28:32,308 --> 00:28:34,108 Speaker 1: Why is the clock stop? It like stopped for lay 594 00:28:34,108 --> 00:28:35,708 Speaker 1: It was on the stopped on thirteen twenty two for 595 00:28:35,788 --> 00:28:37,428 Speaker 1: like five seconds and then also and everything went out 596 00:28:37,508 --> 00:28:41,788 Speaker 1: twenty in delay twenty minutes? How how does this happen? 597 00:28:42,188 --> 00:28:50,748 Speaker 1: It's just insane about resumed the Super Bowl? It was 598 00:28:51,228 --> 00:28:54,388 Speaker 1: crazy and it were ten years removed and it's still crazy. 599 00:28:54,588 --> 00:28:56,628 Speaker 1: The Ravens in the forty nine ers would wait thirty 600 00:28:56,668 --> 00:28:58,348 Speaker 1: four minutes, but not only the Ravens in the forty 601 00:28:58,428 --> 00:29:01,828 Speaker 1: nine ers. Three hundred million people are sitting on their 602 00:29:01,868 --> 00:29:04,348 Speaker 1: couches like, what's going on? I was in the building 603 00:29:04,468 --> 00:29:07,428 Speaker 1: that day on the very top of the Superdome as 604 00:29:07,468 --> 00:29:10,588 Speaker 1: a reporter. My electricity went out. I didn't have access 605 00:29:10,668 --> 00:29:13,068 Speaker 1: to my cell phone, I didn't have access to the laptop. 606 00:29:13,348 --> 00:29:15,948 Speaker 1: Everybody was a little bit freaked, a little bit spooked, 607 00:29:16,028 --> 00:29:20,908 Speaker 1: but also what the football? Okay, what is going on? 608 00:29:22,028 --> 00:29:24,228 Speaker 1: The power would go on, the forty Niners would come 609 00:29:24,948 --> 00:29:28,468 Speaker 1: roaring back, Ravens would win. But let's get to number two, 610 00:29:29,268 --> 00:29:31,348 Speaker 1: because number two were to go back to nineteen ninety three. 611 00:29:31,388 --> 00:29:34,988 Speaker 1: This actually happened after a few years as the Eagles 612 00:29:35,028 --> 00:29:38,228 Speaker 1: head coach defensive guru Buddy Ryan comes to the Houston 613 00:29:38,348 --> 00:29:42,708 Speaker 1: Oilers as the defensive coordinator of a firepower offensive team 614 00:29:42,948 --> 00:29:45,788 Speaker 1: coached by that guy on the offensive side, Kevin Gilbride. 615 00:29:45,828 --> 00:29:48,428 Speaker 1: So you've got Jack Party, the head coach, Buddy Ryan, 616 00:29:48,468 --> 00:29:51,268 Speaker 1: who's a spark plug, and then you've got Kevin Gilbride 617 00:29:51,308 --> 00:29:54,548 Speaker 1: as the offensive coordinator. Ryan's defense was awesome. They kept 618 00:29:54,588 --> 00:29:55,828 Speaker 1: on doing things great, but at the end of the 619 00:29:55,908 --> 00:29:59,468 Speaker 1: season the offense started having some issues and everything wasn't 620 00:29:59,508 --> 00:30:02,268 Speaker 1: sunshine and rainbows. It's the final game of the regular season. 621 00:30:02,348 --> 00:30:05,508 Speaker 1: They're playing the Jets on a very good team. Gilbride 622 00:30:05,548 --> 00:30:08,108 Speaker 1: decided to keep the offense firing in the final minute 623 00:30:08,108 --> 00:30:09,708 Speaker 1: of the first half instead of letting the clock run 624 00:30:09,748 --> 00:30:11,388 Speaker 1: out and relying on the defense. Take a look what 625 00:30:11,468 --> 00:30:15,388 Speaker 1: happens and how Buddy Ryan responds to the decision, ste 626 00:30:15,468 --> 00:30:18,468 Speaker 1: getting keen hit from behind loose park Ridge mun after 627 00:30:18,588 --> 00:30:21,788 Speaker 1: it look covered by the Jets. Bill Piquel. This is 628 00:30:21,988 --> 00:30:24,028 Speaker 1: after the fumble. Take a look at what happened on 629 00:30:24,068 --> 00:30:27,228 Speaker 1: the sideline with Kevin Gilbride and Buddy Ryan. At Buddy 630 00:30:27,348 --> 00:30:31,548 Speaker 1: Ryan taking a swing at Kevin Gilbride. How my be 631 00:30:31,628 --> 00:30:36,468 Speaker 1: defensive coordinator punchings the offensive coordinator. You don't get this 632 00:30:36,548 --> 00:30:41,548 Speaker 1: stuff often? Last one? Okay? Nineteen sixty eight Daryl Lamonica, 633 00:30:41,668 --> 00:30:45,948 Speaker 1: Joe Namath AFC game. Everyone's watching at home. It's six 634 00:30:46,148 --> 00:30:49,828 Speaker 1: fifty nine. It's a wild shootout. Seven o'clock hit, seven 635 00:30:49,908 --> 00:30:52,348 Speaker 1: o'clock Eastern. Jets are in the biggest game of their 636 00:30:52,388 --> 00:30:56,788 Speaker 1: franchise's history. What happens at seven o'clock Eastern NBC? Take 637 00:30:56,828 --> 00:31:01,148 Speaker 1: it away at seven pm NBC. It's scheduled with kids 638 00:31:01,268 --> 00:31:05,108 Speaker 1: movie named Heidi Wild. NBC viewers except those on the 639 00:31:05,188 --> 00:31:09,068 Speaker 1: West Coast were subjected to Heide far looking among mountain goats. 640 00:31:09,868 --> 00:31:20,188 Speaker 1: The Raiders made goats of NBC Haronica to cherish. On 641 00:31:20,348 --> 00:31:24,988 Speaker 1: the subsequent kickoff, Jets teammates collided. The Raiders recovered the 642 00:31:25,068 --> 00:31:28,668 Speaker 1: fumble for the second touchdown in nine seconds and went 643 00:31:28,748 --> 00:31:32,468 Speaker 1: on to win by eleven poles. The sixty eight Jets 644 00:31:32,588 --> 00:31:35,908 Speaker 1: Raiders game was voted the greatest regular season contest of 645 00:31:35,988 --> 00:31:39,508 Speaker 1: all time, not because of Don Maynard's two hundred twenty 646 00:31:39,548 --> 00:31:43,468 Speaker 1: eight receiving yards still a Jets record, or even the 647 00:31:43,588 --> 00:31:47,348 Speaker 1: Raiders nine seconds scoring explosive, but for a little girl 648 00:31:47,708 --> 00:31:51,828 Speaker 1: who stole the show. Let me sum this up. At 649 00:31:51,908 --> 00:31:54,988 Speaker 1: seven PM on the East Coast, NBC kicks off the 650 00:31:55,068 --> 00:31:57,668 Speaker 1: game and goes to a children's movie called Heidi. So 651 00:31:57,828 --> 00:32:00,388 Speaker 1: everyone at home is watching the Jets versus the Raiders 652 00:32:00,428 --> 00:32:03,308 Speaker 1: in this crazy shootout, and at sevent eastern every Jets 653 00:32:03,388 --> 00:32:05,348 Speaker 1: fan on their couch is watching a kids moved like 654 00:32:05,348 --> 00:32:07,028 Speaker 1: where the game? We're a game? And in that time 655 00:32:07,108 --> 00:32:09,148 Speaker 1: that that happened. The Raiders came all the way back 656 00:32:09,148 --> 00:32:10,748 Speaker 1: and scored two touchdowns and won the game. So then 657 00:32:10,748 --> 00:32:13,468 Speaker 1: they eventually go back to the game and they're like, 658 00:32:13,548 --> 00:32:16,788 Speaker 1: what was that Raiders won, Jets lost. It goes down 659 00:32:16,868 --> 00:32:18,788 Speaker 1: as the Hidi game, and to this day, I think 660 00:32:18,828 --> 00:32:21,268 Speaker 1: that would be the craziest thing. It's like the Sopranos 661 00:32:21,268 --> 00:32:25,508 Speaker 1: going to Black. To the Jim Harbaugh Jim Schwartz fans 662 00:32:25,548 --> 00:32:27,508 Speaker 1: out there, were sure you we would have had that 663 00:32:27,588 --> 00:32:29,188 Speaker 1: one as well, if there was some footage we could 664 00:32:29,188 --> 00:32:31,548 Speaker 1: show with some of the audience to ten. All right, 665 00:32:31,948 --> 00:32:34,068 Speaker 1: coming up, we're gonna hear some stories from Dante, which 666 00:32:34,068 --> 00:32:36,308 Speaker 1: I'm very excited when he some wild stories about Dante. 667 00:32:36,668 --> 00:32:38,228 Speaker 1: I know you got him. I feel like he's, oh, 668 00:32:38,548 --> 00:32:40,588 Speaker 1: not even say anything now he's got. He doesn't even 669 00:32:40,628 --> 00:32:44,788 Speaker 1: want What do we have coming out? Jimmyj is still 670 00:32:44,828 --> 00:32:46,988 Speaker 1: on the boarding night as roster. Could they go into 671 00:32:47,028 --> 00:32:49,348 Speaker 1: the twenty twenty two season with both him and Trey 672 00:32:49,428 --> 00:33:05,548 Speaker 1: Lanstone until there is a blockbuster trade. We are going 673 00:33:05,628 --> 00:33:08,588 Speaker 1: to be following the Niners quarterback situation all off season, 674 00:33:08,748 --> 00:33:12,548 Speaker 1: but could is there a chance San Francisco ends up 675 00:33:12,708 --> 00:33:16,508 Speaker 1: keeping Jimmy ge Well Forty nine Ers CEO Jed Yorke 676 00:33:16,588 --> 00:33:19,348 Speaker 1: said yesterday he'd be okay keeping Jimmy on the roster 677 00:33:19,748 --> 00:33:23,588 Speaker 1: at his current salary, even as a backup expensive Bacco 678 00:33:23,908 --> 00:33:26,268 Speaker 1: if we think it's the best decision to have two 679 00:33:26,348 --> 00:33:29,388 Speaker 1: guys that we think are very, very capable of winning 680 00:33:29,388 --> 00:33:31,268 Speaker 1: football games and giving us a chance to win the 681 00:33:31,308 --> 00:33:34,748 Speaker 1: Super Bowl. I'd rather overinvest in the quarterback position than 682 00:33:34,828 --> 00:33:39,028 Speaker 1: anything else. That is via Nick Wagoner of ESPN, and 683 00:33:39,108 --> 00:33:41,028 Speaker 1: take a listen to what Kyle shannah And told reporters 684 00:33:41,148 --> 00:33:44,828 Speaker 1: yesterday about his quarterback situation. That's why we looked into 685 00:33:44,868 --> 00:33:46,988 Speaker 1: training Jimmy. I mean, because we obviously believe that Drey 686 00:33:47,068 --> 00:33:48,908 Speaker 1: can be a starter, and we're ready to do that. 687 00:33:49,188 --> 00:33:51,708 Speaker 1: But if we can't up upgrade our team in another way, 688 00:33:51,708 --> 00:33:53,788 Speaker 1: We're not just gonna get rid of a good quarterback 689 00:33:53,868 --> 00:33:56,228 Speaker 1: because we have other quarterbacks on the roster, and quarterbacks 690 00:33:56,228 --> 00:33:57,988 Speaker 1: are really hard to come by. Some teams don't have 691 00:33:58,068 --> 00:34:00,268 Speaker 1: any at all. When Jimmy gets the surgery, and we 692 00:34:00,308 --> 00:34:02,628 Speaker 1: can't upgrade our team by getting some good picks until 693 00:34:02,668 --> 00:34:04,828 Speaker 1: the surgery till people feel good about that, I'm all 694 00:34:04,908 --> 00:34:06,508 Speaker 1: right with that. I mean, we're not just getting rid 695 00:34:06,548 --> 00:34:07,988 Speaker 1: of them, and get rid of them. I mean, Jimmy's 696 00:34:07,988 --> 00:34:09,708 Speaker 1: a good player that we all really like as a 697 00:34:09,788 --> 00:34:11,788 Speaker 1: person and as a teammate. We're gonna wait to see 698 00:34:11,828 --> 00:34:15,548 Speaker 1: whatever helps the Niners the most, So much honesty there. 699 00:34:15,548 --> 00:34:17,588 Speaker 1: I feel like we don't usually get the goods. Could 700 00:34:17,708 --> 00:34:20,868 Speaker 1: the forty nine ers really carry both Jimmy g and 701 00:34:21,068 --> 00:34:24,068 Speaker 1: Free Lance to start the twenty twenty two season tricks? 702 00:34:24,068 --> 00:34:26,108 Speaker 1: What do you think? Okay, if we're playing Madden or 703 00:34:26,148 --> 00:34:29,108 Speaker 1: if we're doing fantasy football, I think that you absolutely 704 00:34:29,228 --> 00:34:31,908 Speaker 1: can you take as many quarterbacks. You'd also add Aaron Rodgers, 705 00:34:31,988 --> 00:34:34,188 Speaker 1: and you'd put in Malik Willis, and you might want 706 00:34:34,188 --> 00:34:36,908 Speaker 1: to drift Kenny Pickett too. It's not fantasy football, and 707 00:34:36,988 --> 00:34:39,708 Speaker 1: there are human emotions, and there is a comfort level, 708 00:34:39,748 --> 00:34:42,188 Speaker 1: and there is awkwardness at the half comes into this now. 709 00:34:42,268 --> 00:34:45,468 Speaker 1: Jed York said yesterday that if there's any position in sports, 710 00:34:45,628 --> 00:34:47,828 Speaker 1: it's the quarterback position that you would want to overinvest in, 711 00:34:47,908 --> 00:34:49,708 Speaker 1: Like why would you not want to have more? But 712 00:34:49,868 --> 00:34:53,188 Speaker 1: Jimmy Garoppolo has to be a complete alien or someone 713 00:34:53,308 --> 00:34:57,268 Speaker 1: with absolutely no emotional waivering to be able to go 714 00:34:57,388 --> 00:35:00,548 Speaker 1: through another offseason and another season of this where the 715 00:35:00,628 --> 00:35:03,628 Speaker 1: quarterbacks have the quarterback and waiting to replace you on 716 00:35:04,028 --> 00:35:06,228 Speaker 1: the but you do not be affected at all. And 717 00:35:06,268 --> 00:35:08,348 Speaker 1: here's the crazy part. I think Jimmy's one of those 718 00:35:08,388 --> 00:35:10,908 Speaker 1: guys that might be able to block it all out. 719 00:35:10,988 --> 00:35:13,108 Speaker 1: And Jimmy's one of those guys from what we've seen, 720 00:35:13,228 --> 00:35:15,188 Speaker 1: like he can listen to the criticism, he can listen 721 00:35:15,228 --> 00:35:16,788 Speaker 1: to all the reports and be like, I'm just gonna 722 00:35:16,788 --> 00:35:18,428 Speaker 1: show up, make my twenty five million dollars and do 723 00:35:18,468 --> 00:35:20,428 Speaker 1: the best job I possibly can. The craziest thing about 724 00:35:20,508 --> 00:35:22,668 Speaker 1: last season when it all ended is that Trey Lance 725 00:35:22,748 --> 00:35:25,188 Speaker 1: comes out and it was like, Jimmy Garoppolo's my best friend, 726 00:35:25,468 --> 00:35:27,668 Speaker 1: Like he could not have been better, like and it 727 00:35:27,828 --> 00:35:30,268 Speaker 1: felt like a farewell that it had been message to 728 00:35:30,308 --> 00:35:32,148 Speaker 1: those guys that Jimmy's no longer going to be here. 729 00:35:32,228 --> 00:35:34,548 Speaker 1: But I don't think you can keep Jimmy Garoppolo on 730 00:35:34,948 --> 00:35:37,628 Speaker 1: the roster week one. The other part is in the NFL. 731 00:35:37,788 --> 00:35:39,868 Speaker 1: As I mentioned yesterday, there is a salary cap. There 732 00:35:39,948 --> 00:35:42,788 Speaker 1: is a pie, and different players make up the pie. 733 00:35:42,948 --> 00:35:44,868 Speaker 1: And with the forty nine ers, they have two absolute 734 00:35:44,948 --> 00:35:47,668 Speaker 1: superstars who have a very small piece of the pie 735 00:35:47,748 --> 00:35:50,588 Speaker 1: right now, and that is Deebo Samuel and that is 736 00:35:51,108 --> 00:35:53,908 Speaker 1: Nick Bosa. And both of these players need to be 737 00:35:54,028 --> 00:35:57,668 Speaker 1: broken off very shortly. They come from the same draft class. 738 00:35:58,148 --> 00:36:02,108 Speaker 1: They both are superstars in the league, and if you 739 00:36:02,188 --> 00:36:06,468 Speaker 1: were paying Jimmy Garoppolo twenty five million dollars this season, 740 00:36:06,548 --> 00:36:08,788 Speaker 1: which the forty nine ers are set to do. That 741 00:36:08,948 --> 00:36:11,228 Speaker 1: is twenty five million dollars that cannot be put towards 742 00:36:11,548 --> 00:36:15,428 Speaker 1: those two players extensions. It seems very pragmatic, and it 743 00:36:15,508 --> 00:36:17,908 Speaker 1: almost seems human list for me to talk like this, 744 00:36:18,068 --> 00:36:20,348 Speaker 1: but it's actually the human element of it all. Like 745 00:36:20,508 --> 00:36:22,548 Speaker 1: if we go into another season with Nick Mosa not 746 00:36:22,668 --> 00:36:24,348 Speaker 1: extended with that big contract, or were going to another 747 00:36:24,388 --> 00:36:26,508 Speaker 1: season with Deebo still waiting for it, that starts to 748 00:36:26,548 --> 00:36:28,748 Speaker 1: seep in a little bit. So I don't think you 749 00:36:28,788 --> 00:36:31,428 Speaker 1: can keep Jimmy on, even though I agree with Jed 750 00:36:31,508 --> 00:36:34,068 Speaker 1: York you can never have enough good quarterback play. And 751 00:36:34,068 --> 00:36:36,228 Speaker 1: if there is a position you want really good positions 752 00:36:36,508 --> 00:36:38,308 Speaker 1: deep on the depth chart, it's quarterback. I just don't 753 00:36:38,348 --> 00:36:40,588 Speaker 1: see how it makes sense both a for Trey Lance 754 00:36:40,708 --> 00:36:42,908 Speaker 1: on a human level, B on Jimmy Garoppolo, if he 755 00:36:42,988 --> 00:36:44,068 Speaker 1: is a human, it seems like he might be an 756 00:36:44,068 --> 00:36:45,948 Speaker 1: alien when it comes to this stuff. And then see 757 00:36:46,228 --> 00:36:48,428 Speaker 1: salary cap wise, from team building, it just doesn't make 758 00:36:48,428 --> 00:36:50,028 Speaker 1: sense to give that much money to a quarterback who 759 00:36:50,108 --> 00:36:51,828 Speaker 1: might not even be the number one. We've given up 760 00:36:51,828 --> 00:36:53,508 Speaker 1: two first round picks for this guy, and it's time 761 00:36:53,548 --> 00:36:55,468 Speaker 1: for him to play twenty five million. It seems like 762 00:36:55,548 --> 00:36:57,748 Speaker 1: it's crazy money, but when you see the forty million 763 00:36:57,788 --> 00:36:59,548 Speaker 1: dollars numbers, maybe it's not. I don't even like the 764 00:36:59,588 --> 00:37:02,148 Speaker 1: twenty five million. There's all guaranteed, isn't. It's not none 765 00:37:02,148 --> 00:37:04,348 Speaker 1: of it? Good Black forty nine ers. All right, welcome 766 00:37:04,388 --> 00:37:06,948 Speaker 1: back to the Morning Football. We have been honored to 767 00:37:07,108 --> 00:37:09,228 Speaker 1: have NFL legend Dante Hall with us this week at 768 00:37:09,228 --> 00:37:11,588 Speaker 1: the breakfast table. We would like to take this time 769 00:37:11,868 --> 00:37:14,388 Speaker 1: to give you the floor tell us a story. We 770 00:37:14,548 --> 00:37:16,668 Speaker 1: know you've been waiting. What's it gonna be. I'm very 771 00:37:16,708 --> 00:37:19,068 Speaker 1: happy to be able to tell this story about Dick 772 00:37:19,188 --> 00:37:22,228 Speaker 1: Vermill having the vision that I are running back my 773 00:37:22,468 --> 00:37:26,308 Speaker 1: entire life, could play wide receiver in the NFL. I 774 00:37:26,468 --> 00:37:28,828 Speaker 1: never forget it. I had a rough rookie year. I 775 00:37:28,948 --> 00:37:31,708 Speaker 1: only played in five games. Actually got into a little 776 00:37:31,748 --> 00:37:34,748 Speaker 1: fisticuff with the head coach, rest in Peace Gunther Cunningham, 777 00:37:35,108 --> 00:37:37,028 Speaker 1: so I was inactive the rest of the year. He 778 00:37:37,228 --> 00:37:39,988 Speaker 1: was fired. Dick Vermill comes in. Before I ever met 779 00:37:40,108 --> 00:37:41,988 Speaker 1: Dick Vermill, he gives me a call and tells me 780 00:37:42,148 --> 00:37:45,148 Speaker 1: sending me to NFL Europe to play wide receiver. So 781 00:37:45,268 --> 00:37:47,868 Speaker 1: I'm thinking, Okay, this guy's definitely trying to cut me 782 00:37:47,908 --> 00:37:50,028 Speaker 1: in some kind of interview under hid way, So I 783 00:37:50,148 --> 00:37:52,148 Speaker 1: go over and by the way, I'm over there. It 784 00:37:52,308 --> 00:37:54,548 Speaker 1: was the best thing that ever happened to me, football 785 00:37:54,628 --> 00:37:57,748 Speaker 1: wise and personally because it brought my high rises. Before 786 00:37:57,748 --> 00:37:59,788 Speaker 1: I had went to NFL Europe, I was pretty much 787 00:37:59,788 --> 00:38:03,268 Speaker 1: a Texas kid, never left Texas maybe once twice. I 788 00:38:03,388 --> 00:38:05,708 Speaker 1: think in my entire life played football there high school. 789 00:38:05,748 --> 00:38:08,308 Speaker 1: Everything right. Going over that brought in my arisons, taught 790 00:38:08,348 --> 00:38:11,668 Speaker 1: me to engage and infuse myself and other coaches, talk 791 00:38:11,748 --> 00:38:14,068 Speaker 1: to people that didn't look like me, eat foods that 792 00:38:14,108 --> 00:38:16,548 Speaker 1: I normally didn't eat. It was an awesome experience personally 793 00:38:16,588 --> 00:38:19,428 Speaker 1: as well as football. I get back from NFL Europe 794 00:38:19,468 --> 00:38:22,348 Speaker 1: and Coach vermil tells me honestly, which I love about. 795 00:38:22,388 --> 00:38:24,068 Speaker 1: Coacher Man is a very honest man. You're not gonna 796 00:38:24,068 --> 00:38:25,788 Speaker 1: be able to make this team. Just as a returner 797 00:38:26,228 --> 00:38:30,228 Speaker 1: got to play wide receiver. He pours out Oza Kings 798 00:38:30,388 --> 00:38:33,148 Speaker 1: from the Saint Louis Roams ninety nine, pull out his 799 00:38:34,388 --> 00:38:37,388 Speaker 1: stats and his combined. It was basically I had everything 800 00:38:37,508 --> 00:38:40,868 Speaker 1: was better than Ozza Keen and that gave me confidence. 801 00:38:41,588 --> 00:38:44,748 Speaker 1: At that time, my confidence was very, very low. So 802 00:38:44,868 --> 00:38:46,988 Speaker 1: I come back and he's telling me you can do this, 803 00:38:47,108 --> 00:38:50,548 Speaker 1: and I'm like, this guy, are you serious? Definitely serious. 804 00:38:50,628 --> 00:38:53,988 Speaker 1: And the relationship we have off the field has been unbelievable. 805 00:38:54,028 --> 00:38:57,348 Speaker 1: Typically a head coach this XS and those all business. 806 00:38:57,468 --> 00:39:00,068 Speaker 1: My high school coach, Bernard Simon rest in peace. He's 807 00:39:00,108 --> 00:39:02,588 Speaker 1: the only other guy other than Dick Vermill that I 808 00:39:02,668 --> 00:39:05,428 Speaker 1: had a super personal relationship ship with so much so 809 00:39:05,628 --> 00:39:08,068 Speaker 1: that do you know, during COVID at the ripe age 810 00:39:08,108 --> 00:39:11,428 Speaker 1: of eighty five, Dick Vermill and his wife drove off 811 00:39:11,508 --> 00:39:15,028 Speaker 1: from Philly to come and see myself and my family 812 00:39:15,268 --> 00:39:18,388 Speaker 1: to catch up. This is fifteen seventeen years after playing 813 00:39:18,428 --> 00:39:20,868 Speaker 1: for that man. That's incredible. And he's still reaching out 814 00:39:20,948 --> 00:39:22,588 Speaker 1: and caring about his players. So when you see the 815 00:39:22,628 --> 00:39:25,668 Speaker 1: tear Jerkins, it's real.
