My name is Jamie Urtle, alongside Kyle Brant, 10 00:00:48,908 --> 00:00:52,588 Speaker 1: Peter Scheger, and a Super Bowl champion Jason mccordy. One. 11 00:00:52,628 --> 00:00:54,668 Speaker 1: Don't we all love to be the person that if 12 00:00:54,708 --> 00:00:56,748 Speaker 1: you came to work with that person, you'd be like, 13 00:00:56,788 --> 00:00:58,828 Speaker 1: I'm gonna make you better. Wouldn't that be just a dream? 14 00:00:59,028 --> 00:01:02,388 Speaker 1: That's what Peter does, is that person. Are you comparing 15 00:01:02,428 --> 00:01:04,908 Speaker 1: me to Tom Brady? Yes, I am, Yes, I am. 16 00:01:05,548 --> 00:01:07,948 Speaker 1: I would like to say, though we show these Julio 17 00:01:08,068 --> 00:01:11,788 Speaker 1: Jones highlights the Tennessee Titans. Julio Jones are that is 18 00:01:11,788 --> 00:01:13,948 Speaker 1: a not New Jersey if I mean, are on the 19 00:01:14,028 --> 00:01:16,828 Speaker 1: long library of moments as a Titan. Remember we had 20 00:01:16,828 --> 00:01:19,148 Speaker 1: a party as a show joined the Titans, and that 21 00:01:19,268 --> 00:01:21,508 Speaker 1: is not his defining moment, not what we're going to 22 00:01:21,588 --> 00:01:23,468 Speaker 1: recoflect back to when we talk about it all today. 23 00:01:23,548 --> 00:01:27,988 Speaker 1: Isn't Atlanta Falcons lu exactly exactly, and that's going to 24 00:01:28,028 --> 00:01:29,708 Speaker 1: be a beautiful day for him, all right, But it 25 00:01:29,828 --> 00:01:33,788 Speaker 1: is time for the all right, let's start with the Cowboys. 26 00:01:34,028 --> 00:01:36,788 Speaker 1: But not in Dallas, of course. They are on Oxnard, California, 27 00:01:36,828 --> 00:01:39,548 Speaker 1: where training camp is underway. And you know, Jerry Jones 28 00:01:39,628 --> 00:01:42,748 Speaker 1: was there for his annual press conference. He addressed a 29 00:01:42,828 --> 00:01:44,788 Speaker 1: number of issues, but ran out of the gates. He 30 00:01:44,908 --> 00:01:49,628 Speaker 1: delivered a straightfoward message about his head coach, his Mike McCarthy. 31 00:01:50,388 --> 00:01:52,988 Speaker 1: I want to be real clear, he wouldn't be sitting 32 00:01:53,028 --> 00:01:55,548 Speaker 1: here today if I didn't think he was the man 33 00:01:55,748 --> 00:01:58,148 Speaker 1: to lead this team to a super Bowl. He would 34 00:01:58,188 --> 00:02:01,508 Speaker 1: not be. And I have choices, So that's not meant 35 00:02:01,508 --> 00:02:04,548 Speaker 1: to be insensitive to anybody. That's a fact. And so 36 00:02:04,908 --> 00:02:07,428 Speaker 1: of you guys write about a lot of those choices, 37 00:02:07,468 --> 00:02:09,908 Speaker 1: and they were there for my use had I wanted them. 38 00:02:09,988 --> 00:02:14,028 Speaker 1: And no, the guy to my right is whom convicted 39 00:02:14,068 --> 00:02:17,588 Speaker 1: about have been We certainly have had things We've addressed 40 00:02:17,628 --> 00:02:20,548 Speaker 1: the way we've addressed him in the off season. I 41 00:02:20,588 --> 00:02:24,388 Speaker 1: think we've have successfully put together a staff that really, 42 00:02:24,708 --> 00:02:28,348 Speaker 1: from this vantage point, gives us absolutely the best chance, 43 00:02:28,508 --> 00:02:31,228 Speaker 1: with our makeup and our team to get to the 44 00:02:31,308 --> 00:02:35,948 Speaker 1: ultimate success. So, mister Jones, not mincing words, but clearly 45 00:02:35,988 --> 00:02:38,508 Speaker 1: that was an attempt to try and quiet the constant 46 00:02:38,548 --> 00:02:41,668 Speaker 1: rumors around that head coaching job in Dallas. And we 47 00:02:41,708 --> 00:02:44,028 Speaker 1: are just starting training camp. So the fact that this 48 00:02:44,108 --> 00:02:45,988 Speaker 1: is what he felt compelled to come out and do 49 00:02:46,668 --> 00:02:49,628 Speaker 1: is so interesting. So we'll start with how the Cowboys 50 00:02:49,948 --> 00:02:52,828 Speaker 1: as a team, the people that are part of this organization, 51 00:02:52,908 --> 00:02:56,508 Speaker 1: how they respond to this noise surrounding Mike McCarthy. What 52 00:02:57,748 --> 00:03:07,708 Speaker 1: we're in July. You know, they're still in California. This 53 00:03:07,788 --> 00:03:11,028 Speaker 1: is going to be the season though, every hiccup, every loss, 54 00:03:11,108 --> 00:03:13,828 Speaker 1: everything it's going to be. Is his job safe? And 55 00:03:13,908 --> 00:03:16,748 Speaker 1: that comes with that role. There are thirty two head 56 00:03:16,908 --> 00:03:19,868 Speaker 1: coaching jobs, but there's only one where it's the second 57 00:03:20,068 --> 00:03:22,708 Speaker 1: you start the season, it's is he's safe. Let's go 58 00:03:22,748 --> 00:03:25,268 Speaker 1: through the list. I mean, Jimmy Johnson won two Super Bowls, 59 00:03:25,268 --> 00:03:27,548 Speaker 1: and of course he and Jerry had their own issues, 60 00:03:27,628 --> 00:03:31,508 Speaker 1: But for Jimmy Johnson to not end up being the 61 00:03:31,828 --> 00:03:34,748 Speaker 1: head coach of the Dallas Cowboys because the things that 62 00:03:34,788 --> 00:03:39,068 Speaker 1: they had between the owner and him, it's inexplicable, should 63 00:03:39,068 --> 00:03:42,068 Speaker 1: never have been the case. Obviously. You see Wade Phillips, 64 00:03:42,108 --> 00:03:45,228 Speaker 1: you see Jason Garrett like it's a heavy crown being 65 00:03:45,268 --> 00:03:48,188 Speaker 1: down there. And the way things ended last year with 66 00:03:48,348 --> 00:03:49,828 Speaker 1: that hiccup at the end of the game and the 67 00:03:49,868 --> 00:03:52,748 Speaker 1: time management and DAC and the Niners game. This is 68 00:03:52,788 --> 00:03:54,588 Speaker 1: what we're going to be dealing with. This team was 69 00:03:54,628 --> 00:03:57,028 Speaker 1: twelve and five last year. They were a good team 70 00:03:57,108 --> 00:03:59,708 Speaker 1: last year. They want a division last year, and yet 71 00:03:59,868 --> 00:04:02,068 Speaker 1: Mike McCarthy's the head coach. And I think, to a 72 00:04:02,148 --> 00:04:05,468 Speaker 1: man you ask around the league, his defensive coordinator Dan 73 00:04:05,548 --> 00:04:08,268 Speaker 1: Quinn might have a better reputation, and his offensive coordinator 74 00:04:08,348 --> 00:04:11,468 Speaker 1: Kellen Moore, who's still just thirty three, is you'd still 75 00:04:11,508 --> 00:04:14,268 Speaker 1: as this rising offensive star who is one interview a 76 00:04:14,308 --> 00:04:16,548 Speaker 1: way of maybe getting the Miami Dolphins head coaching job. 77 00:04:16,788 --> 00:04:19,788 Speaker 1: There's competition in that coaching office. And I don't think 78 00:04:19,828 --> 00:04:22,228 Speaker 1: anyone around the league looks at Mike McCarthy right now 79 00:04:22,228 --> 00:04:25,148 Speaker 1: and it's like that guy has a safe seat. It's historical, 80 00:04:25,428 --> 00:04:27,268 Speaker 1: and it's also just that market that they play in, 81 00:04:27,388 --> 00:04:30,508 Speaker 1: or the coach, the owner, everything, it's a permanent hot 82 00:04:30,508 --> 00:04:32,988 Speaker 1: seat unless you're winning football games, especially when they matter, 83 00:04:33,268 --> 00:04:35,828 Speaker 1: without a doubt, And I think from the players inside 84 00:04:35,868 --> 00:04:39,228 Speaker 1: that building, the thing is for them, it's business as usual. 85 00:04:39,388 --> 00:04:41,428 Speaker 1: This is what it is like you just said, to 86 00:04:41,548 --> 00:04:44,828 Speaker 1: be in Dallas Jerry's world. He's gonna make comments, he's 87 00:04:44,868 --> 00:04:48,828 Speaker 1: gonna make statements. There's always going to be noise around 88 00:04:48,908 --> 00:04:52,028 Speaker 1: the team. That is just how it is. But for 89 00:04:52,108 --> 00:04:53,828 Speaker 1: these guys that have been there for a while, from 90 00:04:53,828 --> 00:04:56,348 Speaker 1: the decks with the Ezekiel Elliotts, this is what you've 91 00:04:56,428 --> 00:04:59,548 Speaker 1: come accustomed to. And for those guys, they know whether 92 00:04:59,708 --> 00:05:02,028 Speaker 1: it is Mike McCarthy, whether it is a new coach, 93 00:05:02,468 --> 00:05:05,548 Speaker 1: it doesn't matter. The players are going to be the same. 94 00:05:06,028 --> 00:05:09,148 Speaker 1: They're not controlled by the head coach. Because Jerry Jones 95 00:05:09,268 --> 00:05:12,188 Speaker 1: is the general manager. He chooses the guys to be 96 00:05:12,388 --> 00:05:15,108 Speaker 1: on the roster. There's a few guys that come in 97 00:05:15,148 --> 00:05:17,988 Speaker 1: and out, yes, but we'll see this is it. From 98 00:05:17,988 --> 00:05:21,108 Speaker 1: the notable players that play from nineteen to twenty, these 99 00:05:21,108 --> 00:05:23,228 Speaker 1: are the only guys that were switched out. And some 100 00:05:23,308 --> 00:05:25,868 Speaker 1: of those guys Jason went and moved on Obviously they 101 00:05:25,948 --> 00:05:28,668 Speaker 1: drafted Cdee Lamb, but the Randall Cobble went back to 102 00:05:28,708 --> 00:05:32,068 Speaker 1: the Packers. Aldan Smith had his things Byron Jones moved 103 00:05:32,068 --> 00:05:34,908 Speaker 1: on to Miami. But other than that, those guys were 104 00:05:34,948 --> 00:05:38,468 Speaker 1: still the same guys playing in the locker room, the decks, 105 00:05:38,628 --> 00:05:42,068 Speaker 1: the Ezekiel Elliots, those are the guys always leading, and 106 00:05:42,148 --> 00:05:44,588 Speaker 1: it doesn't change. So whether it's Mike McCarthy or whatever 107 00:05:44,668 --> 00:05:46,588 Speaker 1: head coach you want to plug and play in there, 108 00:05:46,748 --> 00:05:48,708 Speaker 1: the players are going to be the same. So why 109 00:05:48,748 --> 00:05:51,188 Speaker 1: be a sense of urgency because of his comments about 110 00:05:51,188 --> 00:05:53,708 Speaker 1: your head coach? Because the two early start drinking, and 111 00:05:54,068 --> 00:05:56,748 Speaker 1: for real, first of all, what did you expect? What 112 00:05:56,788 --> 00:05:59,508 Speaker 1: did you think you're gonna show up to camp this summer? 113 00:05:59,828 --> 00:06:02,388 Speaker 1: Oh it's great, Well, yeah, a great season, Let's win 114 00:06:02,428 --> 00:06:05,948 Speaker 1: a super Bowl? What did you expect? It took two 115 00:06:06,028 --> 00:06:07,908 Speaker 1: seconds to get to this. We're still in July. It 116 00:06:07,988 --> 00:06:10,348 Speaker 1: just took in this very segment, Peter ten seconds to 117 00:06:10,388 --> 00:06:13,028 Speaker 1: talk about the mid nineties because this the Cowboys. How 118 00:06:13,028 --> 00:06:16,428 Speaker 1: about Jerry too? How about Jerry's speech about it? We'll 119 00:06:16,428 --> 00:06:19,948 Speaker 1: call it the I have choices? Is that an endorsement 120 00:06:20,028 --> 00:06:22,268 Speaker 1: or not? Imagine if you said to your wife. I 121 00:06:22,308 --> 00:06:24,908 Speaker 1: have choices, Honey. I love you and I'm here with you, 122 00:06:25,028 --> 00:06:27,108 Speaker 1: but just so you know I have It's not great. 123 00:06:27,148 --> 00:06:29,268 Speaker 1: I don't like that, and it does have choices, and 124 00:06:29,348 --> 00:06:31,588 Speaker 1: I'm still not even sure why he made that choice. Son, 125 00:06:31,668 --> 00:06:34,628 Speaker 1: Mike McCarthey, a guy who had Hall of Fame quarterbacks 126 00:06:34,668 --> 00:06:36,948 Speaker 1: for thirteen years and made it to one Super Bowl 127 00:06:37,028 --> 00:06:38,828 Speaker 1: feels like one hundred years ago. They at least have 128 00:06:38,868 --> 00:06:40,988 Speaker 1: that in common with the Cowboys. I don't know, guys, 129 00:06:40,988 --> 00:06:43,188 Speaker 1: how the cowb is gonna respond to it. They can't. 130 00:06:43,228 --> 00:06:45,228 Speaker 1: They don't play a game for six damn weeks or 131 00:06:45,268 --> 00:06:47,228 Speaker 1: whatever it is. You wonder who that game is. It 132 00:06:47,348 --> 00:06:50,228 Speaker 1: is at home on Sunday Night football in the opener 133 00:06:50,308 --> 00:06:53,228 Speaker 1: versus the Tampa Bay Buccaneers and Tom Brady. If you 134 00:06:53,348 --> 00:06:56,348 Speaker 1: lose that game thirty one to ten, the world's gonna explode. 135 00:06:56,468 --> 00:06:58,948 Speaker 1: And it's even actually worse than it's at home. You 136 00:06:58,948 --> 00:07:01,228 Speaker 1: think it'd be advantage, it's not. This is why I 137 00:07:01,268 --> 00:07:03,988 Speaker 1: get frustrated with this franchise because in the last twenty 138 00:07:03,988 --> 00:07:06,868 Speaker 1: five years they've won three playoff games and here we 139 00:07:06,908 --> 00:07:09,508 Speaker 1: are in seven A starting the show about Oh Jerry 140 00:07:09,508 --> 00:07:13,108 Speaker 1: and who Cares? What did you expect. It's a team 141 00:07:13,148 --> 00:07:15,708 Speaker 1: that doesn't win when it matters. They have a thirty 142 00:07:15,748 --> 00:07:18,188 Speaker 1: million dollars Ezekiel Elliott running back. It's hey, can we 143 00:07:18,188 --> 00:07:20,028 Speaker 1: get Mica Parsons out there because he's cool. Let's talk 144 00:07:20,028 --> 00:07:22,428 Speaker 1: about his mother than that. That's pretty good. This is 145 00:07:22,468 --> 00:07:25,508 Speaker 1: Cowboys ahead of schedule right now. I'm exasperated this July 146 00:07:25,588 --> 00:07:27,468 Speaker 1: twenty seven. This is what they wanted on this show, 147 00:07:27,748 --> 00:07:30,108 Speaker 1: for us to have great teamwork, great camaraderie. Because if 148 00:07:30,108 --> 00:07:32,828 Speaker 1: you look at my notes, I agree with Jason. This 149 00:07:32,988 --> 00:07:35,188 Speaker 1: really shouldn't bother the players at all. They have a 150 00:07:35,268 --> 00:07:38,148 Speaker 1: job to do. Jerry Jones quote, I have choices, question Mark. 151 00:07:38,228 --> 00:07:40,628 Speaker 1: It's literally my thoughts as I heard this, because I 152 00:07:40,668 --> 00:07:44,788 Speaker 1: am with you. It's this weird relationship that everyone is 153 00:07:44,788 --> 00:07:47,308 Speaker 1: a part of because it's the Dallas Cowboys, and everyone 154 00:07:47,348 --> 00:07:49,708 Speaker 1: feels like they have something to say about it. Yet 155 00:07:49,788 --> 00:07:53,028 Speaker 1: he still goes out there and attempts to and the 156 00:07:53,068 --> 00:07:56,388 Speaker 1: man is sitting right next to him and essentially staring 157 00:07:56,388 --> 00:07:58,588 Speaker 1: at Jason and be like, thanks for having this job. 158 00:07:58,788 --> 00:08:02,588 Speaker 1: We had choices, Yeah, we had choices, but it's such 159 00:08:02,628 --> 00:08:05,588 Speaker 1: an interesting choice of word, and that man doesn't do 160 00:08:05,628 --> 00:08:08,868 Speaker 1: anything by accident. He comes out and he picks his 161 00:08:08,868 --> 00:08:11,868 Speaker 1: words purposefulay, and I just have fascinated Mike McCarthy was 162 00:08:11,908 --> 00:08:15,588 Speaker 1: so annoyed yesterday when he was asked about his job security. 163 00:08:15,788 --> 00:08:17,468 Speaker 1: And it's a little bit like I don't know who's 164 00:08:17,468 --> 00:08:20,028 Speaker 1: surrounding Mike McCarthy that this noise is getting to him. 165 00:08:20,028 --> 00:08:22,228 Speaker 1: But I think he needs to maybe start to filter 166 00:08:22,308 --> 00:08:25,468 Speaker 1: that out because clearly he's he can't be annoyed already. 167 00:08:25,508 --> 00:08:27,748 Speaker 1: It is July twenty. Oh, it's coming. Just wait, it's 168 00:08:27,788 --> 00:08:30,068 Speaker 1: gonna get cranked up real high. Mike McCarthy is. It's 169 00:08:30,068 --> 00:08:33,308 Speaker 1: sort of a gruff, sort of not the most congenial guy. Bruff. 170 00:08:33,388 --> 00:08:36,108 Speaker 1: Isn't that the word ruffbeater? Yeah, I would say that. 171 00:08:36,228 --> 00:08:37,908 Speaker 1: You know, he's not like they hit the hard knocks 172 00:08:37,908 --> 00:08:39,788 Speaker 1: cameras on him for six weeks last year and like 173 00:08:39,788 --> 00:08:41,628 Speaker 1: we didn't come acrowd. I say, like he's a hoot, 174 00:08:41,748 --> 00:08:44,588 Speaker 1: you know, like Joe moment, like the cool shirt onto 175 00:08:44,588 --> 00:08:48,148 Speaker 1: the Austin Powers thing. I'm like, didn't really hit. And 176 00:08:48,188 --> 00:08:50,748 Speaker 1: then come the season, it was like big Spot need 177 00:08:50,828 --> 00:08:55,388 Speaker 1: this victory and that team wasn't ready to play. We 178 00:08:55,508 --> 00:08:58,628 Speaker 1: have Sarah Walt's God who is one of my favorites ever. 179 00:08:58,948 --> 00:09:01,508 Speaker 1: She's at Buccaneers training camp. Sarah, we want to start 180 00:09:01,588 --> 00:09:04,188 Speaker 1: with the Buccaneers, of course, and their newest free agent signing, 181 00:09:04,188 --> 00:09:07,148 Speaker 1: Why receiver Julio Jones. What else can tell us about 182 00:09:07,188 --> 00:09:09,828 Speaker 1: this move? Told he's not yet in the building here. 183 00:09:09,868 --> 00:09:11,628 Speaker 1: He will be here this afternoon. He's got to take 184 00:09:11,628 --> 00:09:13,948 Speaker 1: a physical and then it will become official. But he 185 00:09:13,988 --> 00:09:16,588 Speaker 1: won't be out on the practice for this first Buccaneers 186 00:09:16,628 --> 00:09:18,748 Speaker 1: practice of training camp, which is expected to kick off 187 00:09:18,748 --> 00:09:21,468 Speaker 1: around eight forty Eastern. And this is really reminiscent of 188 00:09:21,548 --> 00:09:23,308 Speaker 1: something they did two seasons ago when they went out 189 00:09:23,308 --> 00:09:26,028 Speaker 1: and got Antonio Brown, a perennial pro bowler, and they 190 00:09:26,028 --> 00:09:27,748 Speaker 1: weren't sure exactly what they were going to get out 191 00:09:27,788 --> 00:09:30,268 Speaker 1: of him in before things went south with that, they 192 00:09:30,268 --> 00:09:33,108 Speaker 1: really got some good production. Of course, Julio Jones has 193 00:09:33,108 --> 00:09:35,908 Speaker 1: battled injuries the last two seasons. He was available for 194 00:09:35,948 --> 00:09:38,348 Speaker 1: ten games for the Titans a year ago. But look, 195 00:09:38,628 --> 00:09:40,868 Speaker 1: anytime that guy goes out on the field, if he 196 00:09:40,988 --> 00:09:43,628 Speaker 1: is healthy, this is someone that teams have to account for. 197 00:09:43,748 --> 00:09:46,948 Speaker 1: So now Tom has Mike Evans, Chris Godwin, you mentioned it, 198 00:09:47,188 --> 00:09:50,628 Speaker 1: and Julio Jones and among active players, nobody's got more 199 00:09:50,668 --> 00:09:53,828 Speaker 1: receiving yards in the NFL right now than Jones. The 200 00:09:53,908 --> 00:09:56,308 Speaker 1: other big news is that Chris Godwin is not going 201 00:09:56,308 --> 00:09:58,828 Speaker 1: on the populist to start this season, and he had 202 00:09:58,828 --> 00:10:01,668 Speaker 1: that ACL repaired in early January. It was thought that 203 00:10:01,708 --> 00:10:03,988 Speaker 1: he might miss the start of this season and nothing 204 00:10:04,148 --> 00:10:06,748 Speaker 1: can firmed yet, but things appear to be on track 205 00:10:06,788 --> 00:10:08,668 Speaker 1: that he could be ready week one, which would be 206 00:10:08,828 --> 00:10:12,188 Speaker 1: huge for Tom Brady and these Buccaneers. And of course 207 00:10:12,228 --> 00:10:14,388 Speaker 1: there's Tom Brady. He turned forty five in just a 208 00:10:14,388 --> 00:10:16,788 Speaker 1: couple of days. That number is big, but you know 209 00:10:16,828 --> 00:10:18,828 Speaker 1: what looms larger. This is the guy that led the 210 00:10:18,868 --> 00:10:22,188 Speaker 1: league in touchdowns just a season ago. Julio is not 211 00:10:22,228 --> 00:10:25,388 Speaker 1: the only new thing going on in Tampa. Todd Bowles 212 00:10:25,788 --> 00:10:29,268 Speaker 1: is now his first season as the Buccaneers head coach. 213 00:10:29,388 --> 00:10:32,668 Speaker 1: What can we expect from him now in Tampa? What's 214 00:10:32,668 --> 00:10:35,108 Speaker 1: interesting about this team? They go thirteen and for a 215 00:10:35,188 --> 00:10:37,628 Speaker 1: season ago, but that was a team that made no 216 00:10:37,708 --> 00:10:39,948 Speaker 1: changes from when they won the Super Bowl. It was 217 00:10:40,028 --> 00:10:43,308 Speaker 1: every starter returning and now there's some significant changes here 218 00:10:43,308 --> 00:10:45,108 Speaker 1: in Jason you mentioned is starting at the top with 219 00:10:45,188 --> 00:10:47,708 Speaker 1: Todd Bowles. Ironically, as soon as he became head coach, 220 00:10:47,988 --> 00:10:50,388 Speaker 1: he became the head coach in this division with the 221 00:10:50,428 --> 00:10:53,188 Speaker 1: most head coaching experience because of those seasons that he 222 00:10:53,268 --> 00:10:55,588 Speaker 1: had with the Jets. So that shows you the turnover 223 00:10:55,668 --> 00:10:58,268 Speaker 1: here in this division and that this team is really 224 00:10:58,308 --> 00:11:00,588 Speaker 1: poised to make a run. Perhaps the biggest challenge that 225 00:11:00,628 --> 00:11:02,788 Speaker 1: Bowls is going to have early on is this schedule. 226 00:11:02,828 --> 00:11:05,548 Speaker 1: The Bucks have the fourth toughest schedule in the NFL 227 00:11:05,708 --> 00:11:09,908 Speaker 1: and it starts with Dallas, New Orleans, Green Bay, Kansas City. 228 00:11:09,908 --> 00:11:12,308 Speaker 1: I mean, that's a gauntlet right there that Bowls has 229 00:11:12,348 --> 00:11:14,068 Speaker 1: to get this team through. And then some of the 230 00:11:14,108 --> 00:11:17,348 Speaker 1: significant changes and veteran changes and domickin, Sue is gone, 231 00:11:17,428 --> 00:11:19,908 Speaker 1: JPP is gone, and then over on the line, Tom 232 00:11:19,988 --> 00:11:22,028 Speaker 1: is going to have two new starting guards. They lost 233 00:11:22,028 --> 00:11:25,148 Speaker 1: Alex Kappa and Ali Marpett, and that was a unit 234 00:11:25,188 --> 00:11:27,708 Speaker 1: that was very cohesive. They had been very healthy. Tom 235 00:11:27,708 --> 00:11:29,628 Speaker 1: Brady was sacked fewer than any other quarterback in the 236 00:11:29,708 --> 00:11:32,668 Speaker 1: league last season, So there are some significant pieces that 237 00:11:32,788 --> 00:11:35,268 Speaker 1: Todd Bowles has to get in place. But look, Tom 238 00:11:35,308 --> 00:11:38,228 Speaker 1: Brady didn't come back to pad any stats other than 239 00:11:38,268 --> 00:11:40,508 Speaker 1: the one when it comes to rings, and he is 240 00:11:40,508 --> 00:11:43,628 Speaker 1: searching for ring number eight, Jamie, and now he is 241 00:11:43,668 --> 00:11:46,388 Speaker 1: blamed out. He's a better accessories than you and I do. Sarah, 242 00:11:46,468 --> 00:11:48,268 Speaker 1: thank you so much. We will check back in with 243 00:11:48,268 --> 00:11:50,108 Speaker 1: you again. I am sure Leio John's is the thirty 244 00:11:50,108 --> 00:11:52,068 Speaker 1: three years old and he is entering his twelfth season 245 00:11:52,108 --> 00:11:54,428 Speaker 1: in the league. So let's flash back to two thousand 246 00:11:54,468 --> 00:11:56,868 Speaker 1: and seven, when one Randy Moss joined the Patriots in 247 00:11:56,908 --> 00:11:59,068 Speaker 1: his tenth season in the league. They jumped up when 248 00:11:59,108 --> 00:12:02,908 Speaker 1: he started catching balls from Tom Brady. So you know, 249 00:12:02,948 --> 00:12:04,308 Speaker 1: I mean a lot to be said about the cour 250 00:12:04,508 --> 00:12:07,468 Speaker 1: back difference there between oh six and oh seven, but 251 00:12:07,708 --> 00:12:09,788 Speaker 1: sure you can put a little asterisk connect to the 252 00:12:09,828 --> 00:12:12,228 Speaker 1: fact that in New England he was, you know, with 253 00:12:12,268 --> 00:12:15,588 Speaker 1: Tom Bree twenty three touchdowns pre fantastic. So will the 254 00:12:15,668 --> 00:12:19,188 Speaker 1: Tom Brady effect happen to Julio Jones when he arrives 255 00:12:19,188 --> 00:12:21,428 Speaker 1: in Tampa. Well, let's first of all, I think let's 256 00:12:21,428 --> 00:12:23,508 Speaker 1: just remember Julio. I'm glad we showed the randything. I 257 00:12:23,548 --> 00:12:26,548 Speaker 1: think the three most gifted receivers in the history of 258 00:12:26,548 --> 00:12:29,388 Speaker 1: the game, our first name only guys, Randy, Calvin and 259 00:12:29,468 --> 00:12:32,108 Speaker 1: Julio put him in the top three physically gifted guys 260 00:12:32,268 --> 00:12:34,508 Speaker 1: top three all time, and Peter started out in the 261 00:12:34,548 --> 00:12:36,748 Speaker 1: say to start the show saying, Julio Jones on the 262 00:12:36,788 --> 00:12:38,468 Speaker 1: Titans was pretty rough. It was It was what we 263 00:12:38,508 --> 00:12:40,228 Speaker 1: call a not New Jersey. It was like a completely 264 00:12:40,228 --> 00:12:42,308 Speaker 1: forgotten thing. And yet I just want to remind us, 265 00:12:42,508 --> 00:12:44,668 Speaker 1: remind everyone at home, Julio does not need to be 266 00:12:44,788 --> 00:12:46,868 Speaker 1: Julio Jones with Tampa. He doesn't need to go for 267 00:12:46,868 --> 00:12:49,148 Speaker 1: Brady catches, he doesn't need to dominate. They basically need 268 00:12:49,228 --> 00:12:52,188 Speaker 1: him for two catches in a big playoff game in January. 269 00:12:52,188 --> 00:12:54,708 Speaker 1: That's it. They got all the other guys, Godwin and 270 00:12:54,748 --> 00:12:57,508 Speaker 1: Evans just show up late in the season Julio and 271 00:12:57,548 --> 00:12:59,788 Speaker 1: make a couple crazy plays to win us the playoff game. 272 00:12:59,788 --> 00:13:02,188 Speaker 1: That's basically all they need him for. He's that good, 273 00:13:02,188 --> 00:13:03,628 Speaker 1: and I think he's also a little bit of a 274 00:13:03,668 --> 00:13:08,388 Speaker 1: gronk replace I like this a lot. Yeah, I'm taking 275 00:13:08,468 --> 00:13:12,908 Speaker 1: James takes. Let's think about ready lost cronk. I'm sorry, 276 00:13:12,948 --> 00:13:16,228 Speaker 1: go ahead, And that's a beautiful thing. It's great teamwork. 277 00:13:16,268 --> 00:13:18,748 Speaker 1: And I think you just said it. We don't need 278 00:13:19,068 --> 00:13:22,068 Speaker 1: Julio Jones to be the random walls. That was in 279 00:13:22,148 --> 00:13:25,668 Speaker 1: year ten. They had two receivers over a thousand yards, 280 00:13:25,988 --> 00:13:28,428 Speaker 1: both of those guys, Mike Evans and Chris Godwin. Then 281 00:13:28,428 --> 00:13:30,628 Speaker 1: they also had Russell Gage coming in with seven hundred 282 00:13:30,628 --> 00:13:34,068 Speaker 1: and seventy yards coming from Atlanta. But also I want 283 00:13:34,108 --> 00:13:37,668 Speaker 1: to touch base on mister Rob Gronkowski when he throwze 284 00:13:37,708 --> 00:13:39,588 Speaker 1: god to Tampa. He has some good stuff to say. 285 00:13:39,708 --> 00:13:43,388 Speaker 1: Can we hear from Rob Gronkowski? Because every time I 286 00:13:43,428 --> 00:13:45,348 Speaker 1: had to film myself and send it in, you know, 287 00:13:45,668 --> 00:13:47,628 Speaker 1: in order to get credit for the workout and stuff. 288 00:13:47,668 --> 00:13:50,108 Speaker 1: So like that was kind of getting a little annoying. 289 00:13:50,508 --> 00:13:54,748 Speaker 1: But then I started tricking on because I would bring 290 00:13:54,748 --> 00:13:56,908 Speaker 1: a shirt, my shirt out and then I would bring 291 00:13:56,948 --> 00:13:59,388 Speaker 1: another shirt out. So when I'm running in the sprints, 292 00:13:59,548 --> 00:14:03,228 Speaker 1: I would film myself like fifteen times for that session 293 00:14:03,308 --> 00:14:05,468 Speaker 1: that workout session, I would run in a couple of 294 00:14:05,508 --> 00:14:07,108 Speaker 1: different shirts because you only had to send it in 295 00:14:07,148 --> 00:14:09,188 Speaker 1: like two or three reps. So then when the next 296 00:14:09,188 --> 00:14:12,308 Speaker 1: time came, I didn't have to film myself because I 297 00:14:12,348 --> 00:14:15,628 Speaker 1: already filmed myself running in a different shirt every time 298 00:14:15,668 --> 00:14:17,748 Speaker 1: on that one day. And he and that he hasn't 299 00:14:17,748 --> 00:14:19,548 Speaker 1: had a clue to this day that I was tricking 300 00:14:19,628 --> 00:14:24,628 Speaker 1: him about half the time during those virtual workouts. Gronk 301 00:14:24,828 --> 00:14:29,308 Speaker 1: is showing Julio the way to get it done isn't 302 00:14:29,348 --> 00:14:31,988 Speaker 1: the same thing. It's not the same type of work. 303 00:14:32,148 --> 00:14:34,628 Speaker 1: He's a veteran. You'll have your vet days. He will 304 00:14:34,708 --> 00:14:38,548 Speaker 1: be healthy, he will be well rested. Their goals, I mean, 305 00:14:38,588 --> 00:14:40,428 Speaker 1: I forgot they had Gauge two. Gage was good last 306 00:14:40,468 --> 00:14:42,828 Speaker 1: year for the good two years ago. So you've got 307 00:14:42,868 --> 00:14:45,268 Speaker 1: those three and him, yeah, weird one. Kevin Garver. You 308 00:14:45,268 --> 00:14:47,668 Speaker 1: know it's the wide receivers coach for the Buccaneers. He 309 00:14:47,748 --> 00:14:51,468 Speaker 1: was Julio's GA at Alabama. So like there's like this 310 00:14:51,588 --> 00:14:53,308 Speaker 1: like other connection of like, hey, I'm going back to 311 00:14:53,348 --> 00:14:55,668 Speaker 1: play with my guy from college. But this is all Brady. 312 00:14:55,708 --> 00:14:58,228 Speaker 1: Julio wanted to play for Brady. The numbers made a 313 00:14:58,268 --> 00:15:01,228 Speaker 1: lot of sense. And I'll be honest, he wasn't great 314 00:15:01,308 --> 00:15:03,908 Speaker 1: on the Titans. He wasn't healthy on the Titans. And 315 00:15:03,948 --> 00:15:06,908 Speaker 1: there's a lot of doubters going into last offseason whether 316 00:15:06,988 --> 00:15:09,588 Speaker 1: Julio had anything left in the tank. I have low expectations, 317 00:15:09,708 --> 00:15:11,628 Speaker 1: but gosh, I would love to see him exceed them 318 00:15:11,628 --> 00:15:13,948 Speaker 1: and his final chapter with Brady and maybe a Super 319 00:15:13,948 --> 00:15:16,028 Speaker 1: Bowl ring. But he is a Hall of fame wide 320 00:15:16,028 --> 00:15:18,548 Speaker 1: receiver and it's it's cool to see him being catching 321 00:15:18,588 --> 00:15:21,188 Speaker 1: passes from Tom Brady. Yeah, we started this with Randy Moss, 322 00:15:21,228 --> 00:15:23,548 Speaker 1: but yeah, we all ended up on Rob Gronkowski because 323 00:15:23,588 --> 00:15:25,508 Speaker 1: if you just add three inches and thirty pounds you 324 00:15:25,588 --> 00:15:29,268 Speaker 1: go from Julio Jones to Rob Gronkowski. Dante no problem, 325 00:15:29,668 --> 00:15:32,228 Speaker 1: question mark. Can the packer's offense be just as dangerous? 326 00:15:32,628 --> 00:15:49,188 Speaker 1: We talk about it if you haven't seen it yet. 327 00:15:49,228 --> 00:15:52,068 Speaker 1: It is the official video of twenty twenty two NFL 328 00:15:52,148 --> 00:15:56,708 Speaker 1: training Camp. Aaron Rodgers arriving Majestic to camp in jeans 329 00:15:56,748 --> 00:15:59,428 Speaker 1: and a white tank top fresh from the Haynes Pile, 330 00:15:59,668 --> 00:16:01,708 Speaker 1: a nod to the character of Cameron Pope played by 331 00:16:01,788 --> 00:16:05,028 Speaker 1: Nicholas Cage in the nineteen ninety seven cinema classic Cohn 332 00:16:05,348 --> 00:16:09,668 Speaker 1: air The Backpack Toss. For me, it was uncanny. So 333 00:16:09,708 --> 00:16:14,068 Speaker 1: clearly the reigning MVP is in great spirits great as 334 00:16:14,068 --> 00:16:16,748 Speaker 1: he starts to put in work with his receivers um 335 00:16:16,988 --> 00:16:20,708 Speaker 1: the only the only problem is because he's missing a 336 00:16:20,828 --> 00:16:25,028 Speaker 1: five time probo wide receiver named Davanta Adams who's out 337 00:16:25,068 --> 00:16:28,908 Speaker 1: at training camp in Nevada with the Las Vegas Brainers. 338 00:16:28,348 --> 00:16:32,108 Speaker 1: The virus and that happened, didn't Mark, And that happened 339 00:16:32,148 --> 00:16:34,508 Speaker 1: in March that Aaron Rodgers knew, Yet he still is 340 00:16:34,548 --> 00:16:37,108 Speaker 1: able to bolster up his confidence who arrived a camp 341 00:16:37,148 --> 00:16:38,828 Speaker 1: like this? So I feel like we're all going to 342 00:16:38,868 --> 00:16:40,908 Speaker 1: be asking this right up until week one and beyond 343 00:16:40,948 --> 00:16:42,988 Speaker 1: if it doesn't go well. Can Aaron Rodgers in the Packers' 344 00:16:42,988 --> 00:16:47,068 Speaker 1: offense reach the same heights without Davante or same lengths 345 00:16:47,068 --> 00:16:51,468 Speaker 1: of his hair as without Devanta Adams same heights? I 346 00:16:51,508 --> 00:16:56,068 Speaker 1: don't think so. No. Devanta Adams last year he had 347 00:16:56,308 --> 00:17:00,228 Speaker 1: one hundred and twenty three receptions over fifteen hundred yards 348 00:17:00,268 --> 00:17:04,588 Speaker 1: and eleven touchdowns. That's every other Packers wide receiver on 349 00:17:04,988 --> 00:17:08,988 Speaker 1: the roster, and yes they came close, but that's all 350 00:17:09,028 --> 00:17:12,428 Speaker 1: of them versus one guy's production. I don't think they'll 351 00:17:12,468 --> 00:17:15,628 Speaker 1: be able to reach the same heights offensively, but that 352 00:17:15,748 --> 00:17:19,948 Speaker 1: doesn't mean they won't be able to have more team's success. 353 00:17:20,268 --> 00:17:22,028 Speaker 1: This is a team last year that didn't reach the 354 00:17:22,068 --> 00:17:24,468 Speaker 1: heights that they wanted to reach as a team with 355 00:17:24,588 --> 00:17:27,668 Speaker 1: all of DeVante Adams production. But this is a team 356 00:17:27,828 --> 00:17:31,068 Speaker 1: when Aaron Rodgers is channeling his inner Cameron Poe, he 357 00:17:31,108 --> 00:17:34,388 Speaker 1: can take them too extremely high heights. And I look 358 00:17:34,388 --> 00:17:36,748 Speaker 1: at this team. The last time they won a Super Bowl, 359 00:17:36,868 --> 00:17:42,148 Speaker 1: they had a tremendous defense. Tremon Williams, Clay Matthews, Charles Woodson, 360 00:17:42,228 --> 00:17:45,988 Speaker 1: guys leading away Packers. Yes, twenty ten remember the BJ 361 00:17:46,148 --> 00:17:52,588 Speaker 1: Rodgers dancing dance. Yes, it was a beautiful thing, for sure, 362 00:17:52,868 --> 00:17:55,988 Speaker 1: but the elements of it having a really strong defense, 363 00:17:55,988 --> 00:17:58,868 Speaker 1: which the Packers do have this year. Losing Devanta Adams 364 00:17:58,868 --> 00:18:00,668 Speaker 1: may force him to hand the ball off to those 365 00:18:00,668 --> 00:18:03,028 Speaker 1: two really good running backs they have, and Aaron Jones 366 00:18:03,028 --> 00:18:04,668 Speaker 1: and aj Dial. Yeah, and I think it will be 367 00:18:04,708 --> 00:18:06,228 Speaker 1: a running team, and I think they'll play really good 368 00:18:06,268 --> 00:18:08,828 Speaker 1: defense the same heights I think, No, I think different heights, 369 00:18:08,828 --> 00:18:10,908 Speaker 1: different heights, but not necessarily lower. I think it'll be 370 00:18:10,948 --> 00:18:12,228 Speaker 1: really hard to hit for him to win the VP 371 00:18:12,348 --> 00:18:14,468 Speaker 1: this year, just because the stats have to be so gaudy. 372 00:18:14,588 --> 00:18:16,868 Speaker 1: But I'm just at the point with Rogers where it 373 00:18:16,868 --> 00:18:18,468 Speaker 1: doesn't matter what you think of him. I think he 374 00:18:18,508 --> 00:18:20,268 Speaker 1: has come as close as you can possibly come to 375 00:18:20,388 --> 00:18:23,308 Speaker 1: mastering the game. Like he's a full virtuo, so we 376 00:18:23,348 --> 00:18:27,068 Speaker 1: almost never throws, interceptions, changes receivers, changes, coach, whatever it is. 377 00:18:27,228 --> 00:18:28,828 Speaker 1: I honestly think that if you were to do an 378 00:18:28,828 --> 00:18:31,188 Speaker 1: experiment right now is a startup training camp. He just 379 00:18:31,228 --> 00:18:34,348 Speaker 1: grabbed him five random wide receiver twos and threes from 380 00:18:34,348 --> 00:18:36,388 Speaker 1: around the league, threw him into Packers camp and said, 381 00:18:36,428 --> 00:18:38,308 Speaker 1: you guys got a month. I think he's getting to 382 00:18:38,388 --> 00:18:39,948 Speaker 1: the playoffs. I really do. I think it's I think 383 00:18:39,948 --> 00:18:42,348 Speaker 1: he's that good and I think he is that smart. 384 00:18:42,428 --> 00:18:45,148 Speaker 1: And I considering hype Rodgers and hype Rodgers over and over. 385 00:18:45,228 --> 00:18:47,948 Speaker 1: But the question is like, do you see the Packers back? Oh, 386 00:18:47,988 --> 00:18:50,908 Speaker 1: you know what, Lafleura Rodgers. They've flay the seven and 387 00:18:50,948 --> 00:18:52,788 Speaker 1: ten this year, tough year. The Bears got on, the 388 00:18:52,828 --> 00:18:55,148 Speaker 1: Lions got him. I don't see it. And I think 389 00:18:55,308 --> 00:18:56,788 Speaker 1: the only history I'll look at you looked all the 390 00:18:56,788 --> 00:18:58,188 Speaker 1: way back to the Super Bowl. I go to the 391 00:18:58,188 --> 00:19:01,508 Speaker 1: twenty fifteen season, twenty fifteen seasons when Jordy Nelson blew 392 00:19:01,508 --> 00:19:03,988 Speaker 1: his knee out in camp and he went in with 393 00:19:03,988 --> 00:19:07,668 Speaker 1: our league, James Jones, I'm very young, DeVante Adams and 394 00:19:07,748 --> 00:19:09,588 Speaker 1: Randall Cobb and just like lit up the world. And 395 00:19:09,628 --> 00:19:11,228 Speaker 1: that was the season that ended on the Hail Mary 396 00:19:11,308 --> 00:19:13,708 Speaker 1: lost to the Cardinals. Like he was the guy, and 397 00:19:13,748 --> 00:19:15,828 Speaker 1: I think he is to this point about like, I 398 00:19:15,828 --> 00:19:17,908 Speaker 1: don't really care. I'm gonna go out here and play football. 399 00:19:17,908 --> 00:19:21,828 Speaker 1: Give me anybody, give me rookies, give me Sammy Watkins, Sure, 400 00:19:22,228 --> 00:19:23,828 Speaker 1: watch what I can do. He's just I think he's 401 00:19:23,828 --> 00:19:25,788 Speaker 1: mastered the game. And so I think they will look 402 00:19:25,788 --> 00:19:27,748 Speaker 1: a lot different. But I still think they'll look the 403 00:19:27,748 --> 00:19:29,348 Speaker 1: same because they'll be there in January. I do. I 404 00:19:29,348 --> 00:19:31,028 Speaker 1: don't see them someone knocking them out. I think you're 405 00:19:31,068 --> 00:19:33,188 Speaker 1: all you're both right, And I think when you say that, hey, 406 00:19:33,228 --> 00:19:34,748 Speaker 1: they need like, I think they've got the best corners 407 00:19:34,788 --> 00:19:36,948 Speaker 1: in football. So right there, you're like, and that's a 408 00:19:36,988 --> 00:19:39,628 Speaker 1: good defense. They had two first round picks, both out 409 00:19:39,668 --> 00:19:41,628 Speaker 1: of the University of Georgia on defense. Who are going 410 00:19:41,668 --> 00:19:43,228 Speaker 1: to make any back? Like their defense gonna be really 411 00:19:43,228 --> 00:19:45,468 Speaker 1: good and Joe Barry is a great defensive coordinator. To 412 00:19:45,508 --> 00:19:47,628 Speaker 1: your point, you could put anyone together. Can cobb them 413 00:19:47,708 --> 00:19:50,508 Speaker 1: all together at a big spot on third and six? 414 00:19:50,828 --> 00:19:54,108 Speaker 1: You know, when they're playing in Minnesota, Romeo Dubs or 415 00:19:54,228 --> 00:19:57,348 Speaker 1: Christian Watson's going to have to make a play, and 416 00:19:57,388 --> 00:20:00,068 Speaker 1: like Alan Lazard right now, or Sammy Watkins is the 417 00:20:00,148 --> 00:20:02,748 Speaker 1: number one asking a lot and Rogers is demanding, like 418 00:20:02,788 --> 00:20:05,388 Speaker 1: if you if you mess up those rounds of Marcus 419 00:20:05,428 --> 00:20:07,828 Speaker 1: Daldes Scantling came on this show as a Packer and said, 420 00:20:07,828 --> 00:20:09,828 Speaker 1: you know, early on in my career, Rogers and I 421 00:20:09,828 --> 00:20:12,468 Speaker 1: would have because I think Marques Daldes Scantling wasn't getting 422 00:20:12,508 --> 00:20:14,188 Speaker 1: the playbook down or was getting the rounds, and like, 423 00:20:14,428 --> 00:20:16,188 Speaker 1: Rogers lose faith in you. So they're not gonna have 424 00:20:16,188 --> 00:20:18,188 Speaker 1: the same stats. I think we all agree like Adams 425 00:20:18,228 --> 00:20:19,428 Speaker 1: is going to do, and they might be more of 426 00:20:19,428 --> 00:20:21,388 Speaker 1: a running team and they can still the same wins. 427 00:20:21,508 --> 00:20:24,748 Speaker 1: But to me, it's like that trust with those wide receivers. 428 00:20:24,828 --> 00:20:26,588 Speaker 1: I don't know if there's a pure number one or 429 00:20:26,588 --> 00:20:29,268 Speaker 1: a number two on that entire roster. Right it might 430 00:20:29,268 --> 00:20:31,388 Speaker 1: be Aaron Jones and it might have to come down 431 00:20:31,428 --> 00:20:33,628 Speaker 1: to Tonyon and Jones, and I don't know if that's 432 00:20:33,628 --> 00:20:34,908 Speaker 1: going to be the same heights as what it was 433 00:20:34,988 --> 00:20:37,388 Speaker 1: last year, no matter how good they play. This really 434 00:20:37,428 --> 00:20:40,068 Speaker 1: frustrates me to talk about a Packers team and we're 435 00:20:40,068 --> 00:20:42,028 Speaker 1: gonna say their defense is going to have to step up. 436 00:20:42,068 --> 00:20:43,948 Speaker 1: We're gonna talk about Packers team where they're gonna have 437 00:20:43,948 --> 00:20:47,388 Speaker 1: an excellent run game. Aaron Rodgers is your quarterback. How 438 00:20:47,428 --> 00:20:50,308 Speaker 1: did you not go out after you traded away Davante Adams? 439 00:20:50,468 --> 00:20:53,188 Speaker 1: You have two first round draft picks to go get, 440 00:20:53,348 --> 00:20:56,068 Speaker 1: go get somebody for him to throw too. We have 441 00:20:56,148 --> 00:20:58,348 Speaker 1: and I'm not gonna I'm not gonna poke one at 442 00:20:58,348 --> 00:21:00,108 Speaker 1: any quarterback a round league right now. But there are 443 00:21:00,148 --> 00:21:02,908 Speaker 1: teams where they are just hoping that their quarterback figures 444 00:21:02,908 --> 00:21:05,668 Speaker 1: it out by week one. And you have Aaron Rodgers 445 00:21:05,668 --> 00:21:07,468 Speaker 1: and you're not gonna give him. You're not gonna bolster 446 00:21:07,548 --> 00:21:09,228 Speaker 1: it with the first round pick. They don't do it. 447 00:21:09,268 --> 00:21:12,468 Speaker 1: Don't take it for granted. Let us enjoy Aaron Rodgers 448 00:21:12,468 --> 00:21:14,348 Speaker 1: for the master of the game in the position that 449 00:21:14,388 --> 00:21:16,988 Speaker 1: he has become. What are you doing to us? Why 450 00:21:16,988 --> 00:21:19,428 Speaker 1: are you taking away someone who would win an MVP 451 00:21:19,548 --> 00:21:22,068 Speaker 1: for the third year in a row. Come on, let 452 00:21:22,108 --> 00:21:26,268 Speaker 1: him write the history books. Christian watching this, Trey Lance 453 00:21:26,308 --> 00:21:28,308 Speaker 1: could tell us all about him. He's probably great. But 454 00:21:28,428 --> 00:21:31,068 Speaker 1: is he gonna be Davante Adams? I don't think so. 455 00:21:31,468 --> 00:21:33,148 Speaker 1: Why did you do it to us? I don't want 456 00:21:33,148 --> 00:21:34,948 Speaker 1: to see a Packers team with a great defense. I 457 00:21:35,028 --> 00:21:37,468 Speaker 1: want to see Aaron Rodgers win a third MVP. But 458 00:21:37,628 --> 00:21:40,188 Speaker 1: is it not more dramatic? For Aaron Rodgers to have 459 00:21:40,268 --> 00:21:43,908 Speaker 1: to do this, so we're just like creating speed bumps 460 00:21:43,988 --> 00:21:45,868 Speaker 1: for him a long way like this is okay, now, 461 00:21:45,908 --> 00:21:47,708 Speaker 1: let's drive the story. Let's see if let's see if 462 00:21:47,708 --> 00:21:49,388 Speaker 1: we can do it this way like that, sometimes they 463 00:21:49,468 --> 00:21:51,908 Speaker 1: just say you can handle it. I remember the Colts 464 00:21:51,988 --> 00:21:53,788 Speaker 1: used to get Andrew Luck killed, like he would just 465 00:21:53,828 --> 00:21:55,868 Speaker 1: get smashed and smashed, and they wouldn't draft these great 466 00:21:55,868 --> 00:21:58,068 Speaker 1: linemen in front of him. Andrew can handle it. I 467 00:21:58,108 --> 00:22:00,308 Speaker 1: feel like they're like, Aaron can handle it. We don't 468 00:22:00,348 --> 00:22:02,388 Speaker 1: need to spend the first round pick, and yet they're 469 00:22:02,548 --> 00:22:05,188 Speaker 1: never in the Super Bowl, never, not since whatever at 470 00:22:05,228 --> 00:22:07,548 Speaker 1: the standard definition game. But I think some of it 471 00:22:07,628 --> 00:22:09,788 Speaker 1: is when you have these great quarterbacks, you're paying them 472 00:22:09,828 --> 00:22:11,748 Speaker 1: a ton of money. You don't spend all of them 473 00:22:11,748 --> 00:22:13,908 Speaker 1: money on a wide receiver, and sometimes just like, hey, 474 00:22:13,988 --> 00:22:16,868 Speaker 1: we're paying you this money to be great. Brady I 475 00:22:16,908 --> 00:22:20,068 Speaker 1: feel like leaves New England to go find himself some 476 00:22:20,148 --> 00:22:23,388 Speaker 1: great receivers. That last year in twenty nineteen, remember how 477 00:22:23,388 --> 00:22:27,108 Speaker 1: we started that season ab Josh Gordon, de Marius Tom 478 00:22:27,788 --> 00:22:29,708 Speaker 1: and Julian Edelman. By the end of the year, it 479 00:22:29,788 --> 00:22:32,588 Speaker 1: was just Edelman. It was Gunner out there at receiving. 480 00:22:32,788 --> 00:22:35,228 Speaker 1: It was nikkil Harry. He leaves just like, you know 481 00:22:35,268 --> 00:22:37,748 Speaker 1: what I'm tired is I'm getting older. Aaron Rodgers is 482 00:22:37,788 --> 00:22:40,468 Speaker 1: just like, hey, like he probably still needs some of 483 00:22:40,508 --> 00:22:44,468 Speaker 1: these really good wide receivers. The salaries though, lookal Brady's 484 00:22:44,508 --> 00:22:46,668 Speaker 1: making look didn't have to be that way. I know 485 00:22:46,748 --> 00:22:48,468 Speaker 1: that the pick of the letter wasn't great for a 486 00:22:48,468 --> 00:22:50,388 Speaker 1: wide receiver in the first round, but it didn't have 487 00:22:50,468 --> 00:22:52,668 Speaker 1: to be that regard. You didn't have to go. Also, 488 00:22:52,828 --> 00:22:56,188 Speaker 1: a J. Brown was available, apparently available, Lions moved up 489 00:22:56,188 --> 00:22:58,428 Speaker 1: to twelve god a receiver right when the rubber meets 490 00:22:58,468 --> 00:23:00,628 Speaker 1: the road. Peter, We're not we don't do division picks. Now, 491 00:23:00,668 --> 00:23:02,908 Speaker 1: you're starting to feel Minnesota in the North a little 492 00:23:02,948 --> 00:23:04,908 Speaker 1: like you're really going to still have this. Sam to say, 493 00:23:04,948 --> 00:23:06,788 Speaker 1: I think the Packers don't win the vision to spend 494 00:23:06,788 --> 00:23:09,588 Speaker 1: all this. I'm a little concerned about a first year coach, 495 00:23:09,708 --> 00:23:12,348 Speaker 1: first year offensive cornered. Minnesota's got a lot of change 496 00:23:12,388 --> 00:23:15,868 Speaker 1: this year. Flora and Rogers have had really great success 497 00:23:15,948 --> 00:23:19,588 Speaker 1: in the regular sEH we're going to talk about the Vikings. 498 00:23:19,588 --> 00:23:22,388 Speaker 1: I know we will. Trading camp season is on Ian 499 00:23:22,468 --> 00:23:25,548 Speaker 1: rapport and Mike Garafolo are at Eagles camp. Guys, thank 500 00:23:25,588 --> 00:23:27,188 Speaker 1: you so much for joining us ian. Let's start with you. 501 00:23:27,388 --> 00:23:30,108 Speaker 1: Tell us why the one rookie who was drafted who's 502 00:23:30,108 --> 00:23:33,068 Speaker 1: still unsigned, and what is the latest on the Niners 503 00:23:33,148 --> 00:23:35,988 Speaker 1: quarterback Jimmy Garoppolo. Let's start with David Jabo, the pass 504 00:23:36,068 --> 00:23:38,988 Speaker 1: rusher from Michigan who's picked number forty five for the 505 00:23:39,028 --> 00:23:42,028 Speaker 1: Baltimore Ravens. And Mike. We've spent the last I don't know, 506 00:23:42,108 --> 00:23:44,988 Speaker 1: several months talking about how rookie holdouts aren't really a 507 00:23:45,068 --> 00:23:47,028 Speaker 1: thing anymore and that's just kind of a thing of 508 00:23:47,068 --> 00:23:50,468 Speaker 1: the past. Well not so much, because David Dajabo is 509 00:23:50,508 --> 00:23:54,348 Speaker 1: now officially holdout unsigned. From my understanding, the argument is 510 00:23:54,348 --> 00:23:57,388 Speaker 1: about the third year guarantee, and if you look at 511 00:23:57,428 --> 00:24:00,508 Speaker 1: the distribution of where players are and how much is 512 00:24:00,548 --> 00:24:04,308 Speaker 1: guaranteed in the third year, the Houston Texans fully guarantee 513 00:24:04,508 --> 00:24:07,188 Speaker 1: the third year of their second round pick, which is 514 00:24:07,228 --> 00:24:09,308 Speaker 1: caused everyone to kind of go into flux a little bit. 515 00:24:09,388 --> 00:24:12,068 Speaker 1: It's basically an argument of how close to fifty percent 516 00:24:12,268 --> 00:24:14,748 Speaker 1: do the sides get As far as the third year guarantee. 517 00:24:14,788 --> 00:24:17,628 Speaker 1: It's not much. It's a smart argument. The two sides 518 00:24:17,628 --> 00:24:20,028 Speaker 1: are trying to kind of split the difference. They have 519 00:24:20,108 --> 00:24:23,068 Speaker 1: just not yet come to an agreement. Soadavida Jabu, who 520 00:24:23,188 --> 00:24:25,988 Speaker 1: can't practice anyways, he recovers from a torny kilo, so 521 00:24:26,028 --> 00:24:29,428 Speaker 1: it's not totally consequential. They're arguing over the guarantee, and 522 00:24:29,468 --> 00:24:30,988 Speaker 1: that's kind of what all this is about. Yeah, the 523 00:24:30,988 --> 00:24:33,948 Speaker 1: Texans went oprah on a few contracts. You get a guarantee, 524 00:24:33,948 --> 00:24:36,388 Speaker 1: you get a guarantee, you get this, and in the 525 00:24:36,428 --> 00:24:38,508 Speaker 1: fourth round that really screwed things up, and then the 526 00:24:38,548 --> 00:24:40,748 Speaker 1: second round that really screwed things up as well. So 527 00:24:40,988 --> 00:24:44,508 Speaker 1: O Jabo. Definitely the trickle effect of the Houston Texans 528 00:24:44,868 --> 00:24:46,988 Speaker 1: being very generous when it came to rookie contracts for 529 00:24:47,028 --> 00:24:48,548 Speaker 1: some reason. I thought that was very nice of them. 530 00:24:48,588 --> 00:24:50,228 Speaker 1: And as far as the other as you mentioned it, 531 00:24:50,468 --> 00:24:52,668 Speaker 1: Jimmy Garoppolo, we are going to be talking about Jimmy 532 00:24:52,668 --> 00:24:55,108 Speaker 1: Garoppolo for I would say quite some time here. The 533 00:24:55,108 --> 00:24:57,868 Speaker 1: most significant development that happened yesterday, it was not just 534 00:24:57,948 --> 00:25:00,428 Speaker 1: that Jimmy Garoppolo showed up, is that he had a 535 00:25:00,428 --> 00:25:03,028 Speaker 1: physical from the team's doctor and they did not put 536 00:25:03,108 --> 00:25:07,508 Speaker 1: him on the p list, which seems consequential, and when 537 00:25:07,508 --> 00:25:10,428 Speaker 1: he talk money wise, it is because it means if 538 00:25:10,468 --> 00:25:12,508 Speaker 1: he does incur an injury now he would not be 539 00:25:12,548 --> 00:25:16,668 Speaker 1: subject to the injury guarantee. But it doesn't matter because 540 00:25:16,708 --> 00:25:19,268 Speaker 1: he's not going to be practicing with them. So really, 541 00:25:19,308 --> 00:25:21,348 Speaker 1: all this does, as far as I can tell, Mike, 542 00:25:21,588 --> 00:25:23,868 Speaker 1: is clearer hurdle for them to trade him. So it's 543 00:25:23,868 --> 00:25:26,428 Speaker 1: not like he now needs to get healthy. He kind 544 00:25:26,468 --> 00:25:29,428 Speaker 1: of is quote unquote healthy. City's down in the publist. 545 00:25:29,468 --> 00:25:31,908 Speaker 1: I spoke to people yesterday. They said, there's a physical 546 00:25:31,908 --> 00:25:34,268 Speaker 1: coming later today. But unless that arm is hanging off 547 00:25:34,268 --> 00:25:36,468 Speaker 1: when he walks in to see the doctor, we're just off. Well, 548 00:25:36,508 --> 00:25:38,628 Speaker 1: then they would harness it right or off. Yeah, they 549 00:25:38,988 --> 00:25:40,468 Speaker 1: sew it back to whatever they had to do for 550 00:25:40,548 --> 00:25:42,388 Speaker 1: him to pass the physical because of that seven point 551 00:25:42,388 --> 00:25:44,428 Speaker 1: five million dollar injury guarantee. In the fact that they 552 00:25:44,468 --> 00:25:46,388 Speaker 1: want to tell teams, hey, this guy's healthy, he's on 553 00:25:46,428 --> 00:25:48,668 Speaker 1: the road to recovery. We're trying to trade this guy 554 00:25:48,788 --> 00:25:50,788 Speaker 1: right now. So right now we are headed toward a 555 00:25:50,828 --> 00:25:53,108 Speaker 1: situation where the forty nine ers may have to say 556 00:25:53,188 --> 00:25:55,708 Speaker 1: we've been waiting, we've been seeing if maybe somebody suffered 557 00:25:55,708 --> 00:25:58,068 Speaker 1: an injury at the quarterback position, and we're gonna have 558 00:25:58,108 --> 00:26:00,428 Speaker 1: to move on from Jimmy Garoppolo because that money, that 559 00:26:00,508 --> 00:26:02,748 Speaker 1: twenty five million dollars going to be guaranteed if he's 560 00:26:02,788 --> 00:26:04,748 Speaker 1: on the roster come week one, which he will not be. 561 00:26:04,908 --> 00:26:06,548 Speaker 1: And I know that they're worried that he might just 562 00:26:06,708 --> 00:26:08,388 Speaker 1: if they cut him, just go up to Seattle and 563 00:26:08,468 --> 00:26:11,548 Speaker 1: just go sign there, obviously, So that's why they're not 564 00:26:11,628 --> 00:26:14,948 Speaker 1: just gonna let him go and have his own chance 565 00:26:14,988 --> 00:26:16,588 Speaker 1: to kind of figure out where he's gonna land. So 566 00:26:16,908 --> 00:26:18,988 Speaker 1: we'll see. This could be a bit of a standoff. Yeah, 567 00:26:19,028 --> 00:26:21,428 Speaker 1: I'm picturing that physical Jimmy, come on in, let's look 568 00:26:21,428 --> 00:26:23,588 Speaker 1: at the shoulder. You're good, all right, let's go. He's 569 00:26:23,588 --> 00:26:27,468 Speaker 1: all good, guys. Let's gets just fine, Mike. Let's stick 570 00:26:27,508 --> 00:26:30,868 Speaker 1: with quarterbacks here. Guys are both obviously in Philadelphia. What's 571 00:26:30,868 --> 00:26:32,948 Speaker 1: the latest on Jalen Hurts and how things are going 572 00:26:33,068 --> 00:26:35,148 Speaker 1: with his buddy and his new teammate, a j Brown 573 00:26:35,348 --> 00:26:39,308 Speaker 1: little bromance kind of like we got sometimes sometimes depends 574 00:26:39,348 --> 00:26:41,948 Speaker 1: on the day. It's kind of like a marriage. Everybody's 575 00:26:41,948 --> 00:26:44,508 Speaker 1: excited here obviously to see that connection on display, to 576 00:26:44,508 --> 00:26:46,908 Speaker 1: see how much progress Jalen Hurts is making because when 577 00:26:46,908 --> 00:26:49,388 Speaker 1: you look at this roster, there are so many strengths 578 00:26:49,588 --> 00:26:51,468 Speaker 1: across the board, and A J. Brown only made that 579 00:26:51,468 --> 00:26:55,308 Speaker 1: wide receiver room stronger that it's like, well, can Jalen 580 00:26:55,388 --> 00:26:57,148 Speaker 1: Hurts live up to the rest of the roster. It's 581 00:26:57,148 --> 00:26:59,748 Speaker 1: just amazing how far we've come since we were sitting 582 00:26:59,748 --> 00:27:03,148 Speaker 1: here last year for training camp, when the expectations were 583 00:27:03,188 --> 00:27:08,108 Speaker 1: so low and the questions abounded whether it was Deshaun Watson, 584 00:27:08,188 --> 00:27:09,868 Speaker 1: is he going to be an Eagle? Jalen Hurts. You 585 00:27:09,988 --> 00:27:12,628 Speaker 1: just kind of keeping the seat warm right now. Zach 586 00:27:12,708 --> 00:27:14,628 Speaker 1: Ertz was here. There was drama going on there. Now 587 00:27:14,628 --> 00:27:17,988 Speaker 1: it's kind of like it's quiet and the expectations are 588 00:27:18,028 --> 00:27:20,868 Speaker 1: so high. Welcome to Philadelphia. You're down here, and now 589 00:27:20,908 --> 00:27:22,268 Speaker 1: you're all the way up here. And now it's like, 590 00:27:22,348 --> 00:27:24,588 Speaker 1: Nick Sirianni, could you just make this team competitive in 591 00:27:24,668 --> 00:27:26,588 Speaker 1: year one? Now? Can you take this team to the 592 00:27:26,588 --> 00:27:28,868 Speaker 1: Promised Land in year two? That's kind of where we are. 593 00:27:28,868 --> 00:27:31,788 Speaker 1: It's it's incredible. Yeah, the shift is really crazy. Man. 594 00:27:31,908 --> 00:27:33,588 Speaker 1: I was here real real early in camp and it 595 00:27:33,668 --> 00:27:36,708 Speaker 1: was all about like, can Jalen Hurts b and NFL 596 00:27:36,828 --> 00:27:39,388 Speaker 1: quarterback and now it's like, well, how good of a 597 00:27:39,388 --> 00:27:41,788 Speaker 1: playoff quarterback can he be and how high can he 598 00:27:41,828 --> 00:27:44,828 Speaker 1: take this team? And all the Philadelphia Eagles did was 599 00:27:44,908 --> 00:27:48,348 Speaker 1: just add to his arsenal the massive trade of a J. 600 00:27:48,548 --> 00:27:50,628 Speaker 1: Brown with the big contract that came of it. You know, 601 00:27:50,708 --> 00:27:53,028 Speaker 1: certainly that's something that has raised the eyebrows and the 602 00:27:53,068 --> 00:27:55,388 Speaker 1: expectations of everyone in the city. The two have gotten 603 00:27:55,428 --> 00:27:58,708 Speaker 1: together several times this offseason kind of work that relationship. 604 00:27:58,748 --> 00:28:01,828 Speaker 1: They've already become quick friends. They were friends before, still 605 00:28:01,828 --> 00:28:04,228 Speaker 1: friends now. They hope that this chemistry pays off on 606 00:28:04,268 --> 00:28:06,308 Speaker 1: the field in a way that we'll push some Philly 607 00:28:06,388 --> 00:28:08,708 Speaker 1: negativity down for a couple of seconds. I don't like 608 00:28:08,708 --> 00:28:11,868 Speaker 1: the way you said Philly negativity. I don't. Well, the 609 00:28:11,948 --> 00:28:14,228 Speaker 1: chemistry there is impeccable, but Ian, we want to let 610 00:28:14,308 --> 00:28:16,068 Speaker 1: you go to make sure your car doesn't get towed, 611 00:28:16,108 --> 00:28:18,308 Speaker 1: because I think it's just like thirty yards from you 612 00:28:18,308 --> 00:28:22,388 Speaker 1: with the flashers on. I appreciate that. Okay, good, all right, great, 613 00:28:22,828 --> 00:28:27,028 Speaker 1: all right, thanks guy, So Dylan Arts, let's let's stay 614 00:28:27,028 --> 00:28:28,908 Speaker 1: with him. You know, so much is defined by a 615 00:28:28,908 --> 00:28:31,708 Speaker 1: young quarterback with how they can become a long term 616 00:28:31,748 --> 00:28:34,748 Speaker 1: solution for a team and within an organization. I'm so 617 00:28:35,028 --> 00:28:37,708 Speaker 1: fascinated by the history that this young man has had, 618 00:28:37,948 --> 00:28:40,828 Speaker 1: starting from his time at Alabama and his transferred Oklahoma 619 00:28:40,828 --> 00:28:43,908 Speaker 1: and then getting drafted and just in his tenure. But 620 00:28:44,108 --> 00:28:46,148 Speaker 1: what I've learned in or short two days on the 621 00:28:46,188 --> 00:28:49,108 Speaker 1: program here is that you guys define quarterback success by 622 00:28:49,148 --> 00:28:51,588 Speaker 1: playing in the postseason and winning in the postseason. Okay, 623 00:28:51,628 --> 00:28:54,388 Speaker 1: so I'm Jalen Hurts already took Philly to the playoffs 624 00:28:54,388 --> 00:28:56,228 Speaker 1: with the eight and seven record last year. Now he's 625 00:28:56,228 --> 00:28:58,188 Speaker 1: got to win. But I hope for him that he 626 00:28:58,228 --> 00:29:01,588 Speaker 1: will develop into the pastor because he works, he gets 627 00:29:01,628 --> 00:29:03,548 Speaker 1: after it the right way, and who better than to 628 00:29:03,868 --> 00:29:06,428 Speaker 1: develop him him into an excellent quarterback and an excellent 629 00:29:06,508 --> 00:29:08,588 Speaker 1: NFL passer because the other parts of his game are 630 00:29:08,628 --> 00:29:10,908 Speaker 1: already great than an AJ Brown. So I really hope 631 00:29:10,908 --> 00:29:12,988 Speaker 1: he learns to develop that way in Philadelphia and maybe 632 00:29:13,028 --> 00:29:15,228 Speaker 1: a win or two in the postseason in Bolster. His 633 00:29:15,348 --> 00:29:17,348 Speaker 1: argument be nice, and he has had an awesome football 634 00:29:17,388 --> 00:29:18,908 Speaker 1: wife going back to college and everything. I think the 635 00:29:19,028 --> 00:29:20,748 Speaker 1: simple answer here is what you're saying, Oh, you know, 636 00:29:20,788 --> 00:29:22,708 Speaker 1: win a division, go to the playoffs, and you know 637 00:29:22,708 --> 00:29:24,988 Speaker 1: then how could you say, no, it's complicated these days. 638 00:29:25,108 --> 00:29:27,188 Speaker 1: Like let's say the Eagles do win the division. Let's 639 00:29:27,188 --> 00:29:29,268 Speaker 1: say they win a wildcard game, but it's like, well, 640 00:29:29,308 --> 00:29:31,108 Speaker 1: they have a good offensive line and a run game, 641 00:29:31,188 --> 00:29:33,388 Speaker 1: their defense, and then you get to the Jimmy Garoppolo 642 00:29:33,468 --> 00:29:35,828 Speaker 1: phase where you're like, he's kind of a passenger. He's 643 00:29:35,868 --> 00:29:38,908 Speaker 1: not like dominance, and so we can't hand him whatever 644 00:29:38,948 --> 00:29:40,828 Speaker 1: the hell it's going to be thirty millions more than 645 00:29:40,868 --> 00:29:42,668 Speaker 1: that a year. I don't think it's that simple. So 646 00:29:42,748 --> 00:29:45,068 Speaker 1: I think in order to prove he's the long term guy, 647 00:29:45,308 --> 00:29:46,908 Speaker 1: I think he has to be brilliant, and I think 648 00:29:46,908 --> 00:29:48,828 Speaker 1: the easiest way for him to do that to get 649 00:29:48,828 --> 00:29:51,188 Speaker 1: the roseman upstairs to discratchman a big deal, is just 650 00:29:51,228 --> 00:29:53,348 Speaker 1: to turn into something special with a J. Brown, Like 651 00:29:53,388 --> 00:29:54,868 Speaker 1: I think the two of them are like, oh my god, 652 00:29:55,028 --> 00:29:57,668 Speaker 1: they love each other. There's an obvious chemistry. We think 653 00:29:57,668 --> 00:29:59,308 Speaker 1: we can ride these guys for the next five or 654 00:29:59,348 --> 00:30:01,788 Speaker 1: six years. AJ loves them because they're married to AJ 655 00:30:01,988 --> 00:30:04,588 Speaker 1: for a while. So if those two are great, that's 656 00:30:04,628 --> 00:30:07,428 Speaker 1: the closest path. But there's no guarantee even if they 657 00:30:07,468 --> 00:30:09,108 Speaker 1: even if they get to the super Bowl, like it's 658 00:30:09,188 --> 00:30:11,868 Speaker 1: still does not guarantee anything these days because the contracts 659 00:30:11,868 --> 00:30:14,268 Speaker 1: are too big, and it's he just has to dominate Peter. Yeah, 660 00:30:14,268 --> 00:30:16,428 Speaker 1: without a doubt, and you said it. His relationship with 661 00:30:16,468 --> 00:30:18,468 Speaker 1: A J. Brown. A J. Brown showed up to train 662 00:30:18,508 --> 00:30:20,908 Speaker 1: at camp with the hat on that said Hurts season. 663 00:30:20,988 --> 00:30:25,108 Speaker 1: He's representing his quarterback. There's a bromance bruin there. We 664 00:30:25,188 --> 00:30:28,548 Speaker 1: already know he has the playmaking ability to make things 665 00:30:28,628 --> 00:30:31,188 Speaker 1: happen off schedule, to scramble and do those things. He 666 00:30:31,268 --> 00:30:33,588 Speaker 1: just needs to become a better passer. Accuracy. Nick s 667 00:30:33,588 --> 00:30:36,468 Speaker 1: Arianni said that one of the most important thing for 668 00:30:36,548 --> 00:30:39,708 Speaker 1: a quarterback is accuracy. He said he's battling between the 669 00:30:39,748 --> 00:30:41,708 Speaker 1: second one. But he loves the fact that he has 670 00:30:41,748 --> 00:30:44,948 Speaker 1: that playmaking And they've talked this offseason about the relationship 671 00:30:44,988 --> 00:30:47,388 Speaker 1: that they're development. They're finding out that they have more 672 00:30:47,428 --> 00:30:49,988 Speaker 1: things in common. They're talking about falling in love with 673 00:30:50,028 --> 00:30:52,948 Speaker 1: the game, watching their high school brothers play, being ball 674 00:30:52,988 --> 00:30:55,908 Speaker 1: boys for those guys. So they're building that relationship that 675 00:30:55,948 --> 00:30:58,348 Speaker 1: to me will translate on the field and we'll see 676 00:30:58,388 --> 00:31:01,228 Speaker 1: generally Hurts start to take us This year. He's got 677 00:31:01,228 --> 00:31:02,988 Speaker 1: this year. The Eagles have their own draft pick in 678 00:31:02,988 --> 00:31:05,588 Speaker 1: twenty twenty three. They also this Saints first round draft pick. 679 00:31:05,628 --> 00:31:08,028 Speaker 1: That's two picks that can negotiate moving around kind this 680 00:31:08,108 --> 00:31:10,388 Speaker 1: past draft, I'll be honest, we hyped it for three months. 681 00:31:10,428 --> 00:31:13,508 Speaker 1: It wasn't a great quarterback draft. Next year's draft supposed 682 00:31:13,508 --> 00:31:15,428 Speaker 1: to be a great quarterback draft. So the Eagles are 683 00:31:15,508 --> 00:31:17,028 Speaker 1: in on jail and arts for twenty twenty two and 684 00:31:17,188 --> 00:31:19,668 Speaker 1: doubt him now. All right, coming up, it's out with 685 00:31:19,748 --> 00:31:22,708 Speaker 1: the old and in with the new. Contrey Landsley the 686 00:31:22,788 --> 00:31:42,188 Speaker 1: Niners to success in year two. Wake up, Francisco, we'll see. 687 00:31:42,548 --> 00:31:45,188 Speaker 1: Let's start out west to where nine ers. Swiss Army 688 00:31:45,228 --> 00:31:48,428 Speaker 1: Knife glide receiver Deebo Samuel, despite kind of an awkward 689 00:31:48,468 --> 00:31:51,508 Speaker 1: situation in the offseason a trade request earlier a couple 690 00:31:51,508 --> 00:31:54,788 Speaker 1: of months ago than an ongoing contract dispute, he did 691 00:31:54,828 --> 00:31:57,708 Speaker 1: report to training camp yesterday. General manager John Lynch said 692 00:31:57,748 --> 00:32:00,948 Speaker 1: he's quote unquote hopeful a deal will get done. So 693 00:32:00,988 --> 00:32:04,188 Speaker 1: we will certainly keep an eye on that situation. But 694 00:32:04,468 --> 00:32:07,388 Speaker 1: the other big offseason issue with the Niners seem to 695 00:32:07,788 --> 00:32:09,708 Speaker 1: have found itself a resolution to You can listen to 696 00:32:09,748 --> 00:32:12,908 Speaker 1: Kyle Shanahan on the news, starting quarterback for San Francisco 697 00:32:13,228 --> 00:32:16,708 Speaker 1: and it's not the Niner. This is Trey's team, and 698 00:32:16,788 --> 00:32:19,388 Speaker 1: that's nothing against Jimmy. We made that decision a year 699 00:32:19,428 --> 00:32:21,348 Speaker 1: ago and we're going with that. If you look at it, 700 00:32:21,388 --> 00:32:22,788 Speaker 1: you can see why it got to this with the 701 00:32:22,828 --> 00:32:25,308 Speaker 1: surgery and when it happened, and we understand it and 702 00:32:25,668 --> 00:32:28,108 Speaker 1: it'll take care of itself. But Jimmy knows we're going 703 00:32:28,148 --> 00:32:29,708 Speaker 1: with Trey. Trade knows we're going with Trey, and our 704 00:32:29,708 --> 00:32:32,348 Speaker 1: team does so and everyone likes both the guys. So 705 00:32:32,388 --> 00:32:34,628 Speaker 1: it is what it is. I'm looking forward to a 706 00:32:34,668 --> 00:32:36,148 Speaker 1: lot of players that are off schedule. I mean, I 707 00:32:36,148 --> 00:32:38,228 Speaker 1: think that's just it somewhere we're looking forward to. I mean, 708 00:32:38,268 --> 00:32:39,508 Speaker 1: you see a lot of I don't know if it's 709 00:32:39,548 --> 00:32:41,748 Speaker 1: mobile quarterbacks, but guys that just are able to get 710 00:32:41,788 --> 00:32:43,948 Speaker 1: outside the pocket and make those plays last instead of 711 00:32:43,988 --> 00:32:46,268 Speaker 1: us five second play last for ten seconds. It's hard 712 00:32:46,268 --> 00:32:48,468 Speaker 1: to cover someone for ten seconds. I'm excited about it. 713 00:32:48,548 --> 00:32:50,668 Speaker 1: I think we all see the potential. With the people 714 00:32:50,668 --> 00:32:53,468 Speaker 1: that we have surrounded Tray with and his work ethic 715 00:32:53,548 --> 00:32:55,628 Speaker 1: and what we saw through OTAs, we feel like he 716 00:32:55,668 --> 00:32:58,988 Speaker 1: can reach that potential. Okay, so now it's official, and 717 00:32:59,068 --> 00:33:00,868 Speaker 1: frankly I think some of his teammates sound a little 718 00:33:00,908 --> 00:33:03,428 Speaker 1: relieved now that they can finally talk about it and 719 00:33:03,428 --> 00:33:06,068 Speaker 1: it not dance around the subject. So it leads to 720 00:33:06,108 --> 00:33:08,948 Speaker 1: our next most natural question, which is what do we 721 00:33:08,988 --> 00:33:11,228 Speaker 1: think ase Trey Lance led forty nine ers. Yeah, well 722 00:33:11,228 --> 00:33:13,308 Speaker 1: they're they're all in on Trey. And it was one 723 00:33:13,308 --> 00:33:16,868 Speaker 1: of those deals where Jimmy Garoppolo was in Southern California 724 00:33:16,908 --> 00:33:20,268 Speaker 1: this entire offseason rehabbing his shoulder, and Trey Lance was 725 00:33:20,348 --> 00:33:24,148 Speaker 1: there and was with the veterans and proved enough to 726 00:33:24,228 --> 00:33:25,988 Speaker 1: Kyle Shanahan they's going to rip the band aid off. 727 00:33:25,988 --> 00:33:28,268 Speaker 1: I appreciate this from Kyle Shannan and John Lynch, I 728 00:33:28,348 --> 00:33:30,468 Speaker 1: really do. They could have dragged this on and said, well, 729 00:33:30,548 --> 00:33:33,508 Speaker 1: Jimmy looks great and really made Jimmy this like shiny 730 00:33:33,588 --> 00:33:36,988 Speaker 1: object as far as trade value goes. They're basically saying, no, 731 00:33:37,068 --> 00:33:40,228 Speaker 1: we're choosing Lance over Jimmy. And now that you've done this, 732 00:33:40,308 --> 00:33:42,068 Speaker 1: I can't imagine Jimmy Garoppolo is going to be on 733 00:33:42,108 --> 00:33:43,908 Speaker 1: the roster day one. They might have to end up 734 00:33:43,908 --> 00:33:46,348 Speaker 1: even cutting him. And if that's the case, there will 735 00:33:46,348 --> 00:33:48,708 Speaker 1: always be this what if. And I think Trey Lance 736 00:33:48,748 --> 00:33:51,308 Speaker 1: has the opportunity right now to take this team and 737 00:33:51,348 --> 00:33:53,988 Speaker 1: go from NFC Championship game and say there won't be 738 00:33:53,988 --> 00:33:56,348 Speaker 1: a massive drop off. The wild card to me, it's 739 00:33:56,468 --> 00:34:00,108 Speaker 1: not just Jimmy Garoppolo no longer in the room. Mike McDaniel, 740 00:34:00,228 --> 00:34:02,948 Speaker 1: who worked a ton with Trey Lance last year and 741 00:34:02,948 --> 00:34:05,828 Speaker 1: worked a tom with Jimmy Garoppolo, is now in Miami. 742 00:34:05,868 --> 00:34:08,268 Speaker 1: Do you know who the quarterback coach in San Francisco 743 00:34:08,348 --> 00:34:09,548 Speaker 1: is this year? Do you know who's gonna be in 744 00:34:09,588 --> 00:34:12,828 Speaker 1: the ear of Trey Lance, Brian Greasy? Oh yeah, it's 745 00:34:12,868 --> 00:34:15,788 Speaker 1: going from the Monday Night football booth to be like 746 00:34:15,908 --> 00:34:19,028 Speaker 1: the Trey Lance whisper. The most biggest X factor of 747 00:34:19,028 --> 00:34:21,108 Speaker 1: this thing is like Brian Greasy is not an NFL 748 00:34:21,188 --> 00:34:23,468 Speaker 1: coach historically, Like he's gonna have a first years this 749 00:34:23,748 --> 00:34:25,908 Speaker 1: Trey Lance is twenty one years old, his first year 750 00:34:25,948 --> 00:34:28,908 Speaker 1: as starter. It's a really curious mix. And the big 751 00:34:28,908 --> 00:34:30,308 Speaker 1: wild card is this a team that went to the 752 00:34:30,428 --> 00:34:32,788 Speaker 1: NFCY Championship Game last year. It's not a rebuilding team. 753 00:34:32,868 --> 00:34:35,748 Speaker 1: So the pieces are all there fascinating to see how 754 00:34:35,788 --> 00:34:37,628 Speaker 1: this goes. I'm not picking them right now to do 755 00:34:37,708 --> 00:34:39,508 Speaker 1: anything until I see what they look like, at least 756 00:34:39,548 --> 00:34:40,988 Speaker 1: in the first season at all. Is this the first 757 00:34:40,988 --> 00:34:43,588 Speaker 1: coaching job ever? It might be his first coaching job ever. 758 00:34:43,628 --> 00:34:46,108 Speaker 1: He went into broadcasting right in the media. Yeah. Wow, 759 00:34:46,348 --> 00:34:49,428 Speaker 1: that's a little alarming. You know, for a young quarterback, 760 00:34:49,468 --> 00:34:52,308 Speaker 1: there's nothing more important than the coaches. He's already won 761 00:34:52,308 --> 00:34:54,268 Speaker 1: over the veterans. Like we said, we just heard Juice 762 00:34:54,428 --> 00:34:56,908 Speaker 1: with just her Kittle. They love him. But at the 763 00:34:56,988 --> 00:34:59,948 Speaker 1: same time, it's just hard for me to get excited 764 00:34:59,988 --> 00:35:02,748 Speaker 1: as a veteran on teams where it was very hard 765 00:35:02,788 --> 00:35:05,628 Speaker 1: to win. I spent most of our career wondering, like, 766 00:35:05,668 --> 00:35:07,588 Speaker 1: who the quarterback is going to be? What's it like 767 00:35:07,668 --> 00:35:10,108 Speaker 1: to play with a franchise guy or a guy that 768 00:35:10,148 --> 00:35:13,188 Speaker 1: can get you there? And Jimmy Garoppolo has gotten him there. 769 00:35:13,228 --> 00:35:15,508 Speaker 1: He's been hurt one of the three seasons he's been there, 770 00:35:15,548 --> 00:35:17,668 Speaker 1: but the other two he was in the Super Bowl 771 00:35:17,788 --> 00:35:20,068 Speaker 1: and he was in the NFC Championship Game. So yes, 772 00:35:20,148 --> 00:35:22,188 Speaker 1: I get it. He didn't win the Super Bowl, he 773 00:35:22,228 --> 00:35:24,748 Speaker 1: didn't win the one that mattered. But the one thing 774 00:35:24,788 --> 00:35:27,868 Speaker 1: that teammates have said about Jimmy Garoppolo was he's a leader. 775 00:35:28,068 --> 00:35:30,828 Speaker 1: He takes command in the huddle, guys listen to him, 776 00:35:30,988 --> 00:35:33,988 Speaker 1: and he's poised. There's gonna be ups and downs, there's 777 00:35:34,028 --> 00:35:37,388 Speaker 1: going to be adversity. So yes, we're all excited about 778 00:35:37,428 --> 00:35:39,188 Speaker 1: the talent of Trey and we want to see him 779 00:35:39,228 --> 00:35:41,708 Speaker 1: go out there and the move there. They've been very 780 00:35:41,748 --> 00:35:43,788 Speaker 1: truthful with it, which has been awesome. Jimmy knowles what 781 00:35:43,868 --> 00:35:46,468 Speaker 1: was going on. But at the same time, a team 782 00:35:46,508 --> 00:35:49,428 Speaker 1: that was just on the doorstep of the Super Bowl, 783 00:35:49,588 --> 00:35:52,388 Speaker 1: we're moving on from our quarterback and we're starting over 784 00:35:52,428 --> 00:35:54,828 Speaker 1: and saying, hey, it's Tray. Who would win in an 785 00:35:54,828 --> 00:35:58,548 Speaker 1: open competition, Jimmy Garoppolo or the young Guy'll never know. 786 00:35:58,788 --> 00:36:01,388 Speaker 1: We'll never know, now, I guess we'll never know. Is 787 00:36:01,428 --> 00:36:05,588 Speaker 1: that a shame? Is that smarts? It's a risk, it's anytime. Listen. 788 00:36:05,588 --> 00:36:07,988 Speaker 1: I understand the financial implications and the futures, Tray and 789 00:36:07,988 --> 00:36:10,308 Speaker 1: all that stuff. Did the best quarterback on the Niners 790 00:36:10,548 --> 00:36:12,468 Speaker 1: now leave the building? Is he out? Because you know, 791 00:36:12,548 --> 00:36:14,588 Speaker 1: Jimmy's stock is so low right now, not just because 792 00:36:14,588 --> 00:36:16,228 Speaker 1: of the injury, because of the optics of how last 793 00:36:16,268 --> 00:36:18,628 Speaker 1: season ending. Jimmy sucks. That Jimmy does not suck. He 794 00:36:18,748 --> 00:36:20,628 Speaker 1: just did it in close to sucks. Jam is really 795 00:36:20,628 --> 00:36:22,788 Speaker 1: good and he's gone, and just because of some good 796 00:36:22,828 --> 00:36:26,148 Speaker 1: offseason tosses and running around some cones, it's done. We're 797 00:36:26,188 --> 00:36:28,468 Speaker 1: not going to even entertain the idea of, you know what, 798 00:36:28,668 --> 00:36:30,668 Speaker 1: screw it, let's go into camp and let's have an 799 00:36:30,708 --> 00:36:33,828 Speaker 1: open competition nineties style, eighties style, and if Jimmy still 800 00:36:33,868 --> 00:36:35,148 Speaker 1: is the best since the show, that looks good. I 801 00:36:35,188 --> 00:36:36,748 Speaker 1: think he gives us our best chance to win, and 802 00:36:36,748 --> 00:36:38,388 Speaker 1: we're gonna go with him, and Trey is gonna have 803 00:36:38,388 --> 00:36:39,948 Speaker 1: to understand that we got one year left in this 804 00:36:39,988 --> 00:36:42,228 Speaker 1: massive contract, let's pay it. I wish that we could 805 00:36:42,228 --> 00:36:45,028 Speaker 1: have found that out, because it's always really dangerous when 806 00:36:45,028 --> 00:36:47,188 Speaker 1: you got a title sniff the year before and then 807 00:36:47,228 --> 00:36:49,668 Speaker 1: you changed quarterbacks kind of on a wing and a 808 00:36:49,748 --> 00:36:52,908 Speaker 1: prayer and a basically off season reps that have not 809 00:36:53,028 --> 00:36:54,948 Speaker 1: really been there in the games. It would be one thing. 810 00:36:54,988 --> 00:36:57,548 Speaker 1: If Trey was awesome last year. It was a little rough. Yeah, 811 00:36:57,588 --> 00:36:59,228 Speaker 1: I think it's a shame. I wish we could have 812 00:36:59,228 --> 00:37:00,828 Speaker 1: found that out because I don't know if they made 813 00:37:00,828 --> 00:37:09,028 Speaker 1: the right choice. We won't know until the season starts.
