00:00:06,748 --> 00:00:14,908
Speaker 1: partnership with iHeartRadio.

00:00:22,268 --> 00:00:26,428
Speaker 2: Good morning, Well.

4
00:00:26,388 --> 00:00:28,388
Speaker 3: Welcome to Good Morning Football. We are live in New

5
00:00:28,468 --> 00:00:31,388
Speaker 3: York City. It is Tuesday, June twenty seventh. You know

6
00:00:31,388 --> 00:00:31,868
Speaker 3: what that means.

7
00:00:31,868 --> 00:00:34,628
Speaker 4: It means football is right around the corner kind of.

8
00:00:34,668 --> 00:00:37,628
Speaker 4: My name is Sarah Walsh alongside I'm Tella Sarah, Mike

9
00:00:37,668 --> 00:00:40,108
Speaker 4: Girful and Super Bowl hair.

10
00:00:40,308 --> 00:00:42,268
Speaker 3: It is around the room here.

11
00:00:42,308 --> 00:00:43,908
Speaker 5: You gave us the calculations yesterday.

12
00:00:43,948 --> 00:00:46,068
Speaker 6: All right, right's right, we're down to twenty eight days.

13
00:00:46,068 --> 00:00:48,508
Speaker 4: Why don't we have on the big clock back here.

14
00:00:48,508 --> 00:00:50,988
Speaker 4: We could do like a New Year's Eve countdown clock?

15
00:00:51,108 --> 00:00:51,588
Speaker 5: Yeah, we could.

16
00:00:51,668 --> 00:00:52,468
Speaker 6: I shouldn't be there.

17
00:00:52,468 --> 00:00:55,148
Speaker 2: Should discuss this on the calls before the show. Sarah,

18
00:00:55,308 --> 00:00:55,628
Speaker 2: come up.

19
00:00:55,828 --> 00:00:57,708
Speaker 4: I come up with my best ideas when it's just

20
00:00:57,868 --> 00:00:59,228
Speaker 4: far too late, is what I do.

21
00:00:59,868 --> 00:01:01,188
Speaker 3: Your jacket looks great though.

22
00:01:01,028 --> 00:01:01,828
Speaker 6: I appreciate that.

23
00:01:01,868 --> 00:01:02,428
Speaker 5: Thank you.

24
00:01:03,188 --> 00:01:04,868
Speaker 3: It's time out for lead.

25
00:01:06,268 --> 00:01:08,868
Speaker 4: Mac Jones and the Patriots looking to turn the page.

26
00:01:08,908 --> 00:01:13,428
Speaker 4: On twenty twenty two, New England bid farewell to Matt Patricia,

27
00:01:13,508 --> 00:01:16,628
Speaker 4: welcome back to Bill O'Brien as their offensive coordinator. So

28
00:01:16,708 --> 00:01:18,268
Speaker 4: is it a new system, new outcome?

29
00:01:18,348 --> 00:01:18,868
Speaker 3: Kind of thing.

30
00:01:18,948 --> 00:01:21,828
Speaker 4: Well around the NFL's Greg Rosenthal seems to think so.

31
00:01:23,388 --> 00:01:26,028
Speaker 7: I think maccorgil Jones is making the leap. I think

32
00:01:26,068 --> 00:01:29,308
Speaker 7: people threw away his last season and put it all

33
00:01:29,348 --> 00:01:31,508
Speaker 7: on him. At the same time, they're saying Matt Patricia

34
00:01:31,588 --> 00:01:33,788
Speaker 7: is the worst offensive coordinator in the history of the league.

35
00:01:33,908 --> 00:01:36,388
Speaker 7: It's the biggest mistake ever. He needs to have a

36
00:01:36,388 --> 00:01:38,828
Speaker 7: good system around him. He is a system quarterback. His

37
00:01:38,948 --> 00:01:42,508
Speaker 7: leap is to a Kirk Cousins like level, where he's

38
00:01:42,548 --> 00:01:45,268
Speaker 7: a slightly above average quarterback who has already shown a

39
00:01:45,268 --> 00:01:47,828
Speaker 7: couple of things, which is tough, reading the defense quickly,

40
00:01:48,228 --> 00:01:52,988
Speaker 7: touch timing, accuracy. He did that at a Philip Rivers

41
00:01:53,228 --> 00:01:54,668
Speaker 7: like level as a rookie.

42
00:01:54,708 --> 00:01:55,788
Speaker 6: That made me excited.

43
00:01:58,828 --> 00:02:01,628
Speaker 4: Okay, So Rosie sounding pretty serious there about mac Jones

44
00:02:01,668 --> 00:02:05,308
Speaker 4: making the leap this year. If he's right, what's it

45
00:02:05,308 --> 00:02:07,588
Speaker 4: going to mean for the Patriots in twenty twenty three.

46
00:02:07,428 --> 00:02:10,468
Speaker 2: Mike, that's a great word exciting, because that's what mac

47
00:02:10,548 --> 00:02:13,588
Speaker 2: Jones was his rookie year. Thirty eight hundred yards, twenty

48
00:02:13,588 --> 00:02:17,588
Speaker 2: two touchdowns at home. He was sensational, sixteen touchdowns to

49
00:02:17,668 --> 00:02:20,508
Speaker 2: seven interceptions. He had that game where Brady came in

50
00:02:20,548 --> 00:02:22,788
Speaker 2: and he kind of hung with him the game against

51
00:02:22,908 --> 00:02:24,828
Speaker 2: Dallas where they were kind of going back and forth.

52
00:02:24,908 --> 00:02:27,148
Speaker 2: That was a fun game. Remember that game. Remember how

53
00:02:27,228 --> 00:02:29,668
Speaker 2: fun Mac Jones used to be. Remember we were saying

54
00:02:29,708 --> 00:02:32,868
Speaker 2: things like, I can't believe the Patriots after having Tom

55
00:02:32,908 --> 00:02:36,428
Speaker 2: Brady for twenty years just fell right into mac Jones

56
00:02:36,468 --> 00:02:38,348
Speaker 2: here and nobody jumped ahead of them in the draft

57
00:02:38,348 --> 00:02:40,868
Speaker 2: to take them away. We weren't saying these things in

58
00:02:40,868 --> 00:02:42,788
Speaker 2: twenty twenty two. We were saying them back in twenty

59
00:02:42,788 --> 00:02:47,108
Speaker 2: twenty one. So if Great Rosenthal is correct and mac

60
00:02:47,188 --> 00:02:51,588
Speaker 2: Jones makes the Kirk Cousins type leak, which feels sort

61
00:02:51,588 --> 00:02:54,508
Speaker 2: of like a backhanded compliment right a little bit, but

62
00:02:54,588 --> 00:02:56,108
Speaker 2: I get what he's saying, And if he gets to

63
00:02:56,188 --> 00:02:59,548
Speaker 2: Kirk Cousins level, Yeah, that's good quarterback production because we've

64
00:02:59,548 --> 00:03:01,948
Speaker 2: seen it from Kirk over the years. We'll start saying

65
00:03:01,988 --> 00:03:03,868
Speaker 2: those things that we were saying back in twenty twenty

66
00:03:03,868 --> 00:03:04,868
Speaker 2: one again what it'll mean.

67
00:03:04,988 --> 00:03:06,348
Speaker 6: Here's the thing, A lot of people have that same

68
00:03:06,388 --> 00:03:10,508
Speaker 6: reaction when you hear the Kirk Cousins comparisons here for

69
00:03:10,668 --> 00:03:14,828
Speaker 6: Mac Jones, Kirk Cousins last season went thirteen and four,

70
00:03:15,348 --> 00:03:19,948
Speaker 6: with no defense whatsoever. They fired the defensive coordinator, they

71
00:03:19,988 --> 00:03:22,308
Speaker 6: got rid of practically everybody on that side of the football.

72
00:03:22,628 --> 00:03:25,828
Speaker 6: Look what Mac Jones is working with in New England.

73
00:03:25,908 --> 00:03:28,908
Speaker 6: When you talk about that Patriots defense last season, they

74
00:03:28,908 --> 00:03:31,948
Speaker 6: were one of the most productive units in the entire NFL.

75
00:03:32,348 --> 00:03:35,308
Speaker 6: Look at the numbers, first in defensive touchdowns, tied for

76
00:03:35,348 --> 00:03:38,028
Speaker 6: second in takeaways, tied for third, and sacks. You would

77
00:03:38,028 --> 00:03:40,308
Speaker 6: look at those numbers and say, well, this was probably

78
00:03:40,548 --> 00:03:43,708
Speaker 6: a pretty good team, but they were a historically bad offense.

79
00:03:43,788 --> 00:03:45,948
Speaker 6: And it's not all on Matt Patricia, just like it's not.

80
00:03:45,868 --> 00:03:47,188
Speaker 2: All on Mac Jones.

81
00:03:47,508 --> 00:03:51,268
Speaker 6: Robert Kraft had his fingerprints all over this offseason. He's

82
00:03:51,268 --> 00:03:54,508
Speaker 6: a Mac Jones fan. He wanted Bill Belichick to hire

83
00:03:54,508 --> 00:03:56,748
Speaker 6: an offensive coordinator. What you do in Bill O'Brien, And

84
00:03:56,788 --> 00:03:59,428
Speaker 6: he wanted to retain jirod Mayo, even though he hasn't

85
00:03:59,428 --> 00:04:02,428
Speaker 6: had the title of defensive coordinator. Is the guy calling

86
00:04:02,428 --> 00:04:05,068
Speaker 6: the shots on that side of the football. Well, maybe

87
00:04:05,108 --> 00:04:08,828
Speaker 6: the succession of Bill Belichick eventually in Foxborough. Right now,

88
00:04:08,868 --> 00:04:11,548
Speaker 6: he's a really important piece. How important was it to

89
00:04:11,628 --> 00:04:14,868
Speaker 6: Robert Kraft? The Patriots put out a statement saying we're

90
00:04:14,868 --> 00:04:17,468
Speaker 6: working toward an agreement with drop Mail. The Patriots won't

91
00:04:17,468 --> 00:04:20,068
Speaker 6: confirm the sun Rose this morning. That's not a shot

92
00:04:20,068 --> 00:04:23,268
Speaker 6: of Stacy James, just saying philosophically. The Patriots generally don't

93
00:04:23,268 --> 00:04:25,348
Speaker 6: put out statements on anything. They put out of statements

94
00:04:25,388 --> 00:04:27,468
Speaker 6: in we're we got this handled. We got to cover

95
00:04:27,588 --> 00:04:29,468
Speaker 6: drop mails not going anywhere. That's good news for Mac

96
00:04:29,548 --> 00:04:30,988
Speaker 6: Jones everybody else in New England.

97
00:04:31,028 --> 00:04:33,548
Speaker 8: Yeah, that's great news for josh Ushe and Madrew Don

98
00:04:33,588 --> 00:04:34,748
Speaker 8: everybody else on that defense.

99
00:04:35,028 --> 00:04:37,668
Speaker 5: I'm with you on this. The Patriots, they're all built

100
00:04:37,708 --> 00:04:38,668
Speaker 5: around this defense.

101
00:04:39,028 --> 00:04:41,548
Speaker 8: And I think it's interesting that we're all focusing on

102
00:04:41,588 --> 00:04:43,908
Speaker 8: the quarterback. Yet the best players right now for the

103
00:04:43,908 --> 00:04:46,028
Speaker 8: Patriots on the other side of the ball. The last

104
00:04:46,108 --> 00:04:48,668
Speaker 8: couple of years, the Patriots have been leading the league

105
00:04:48,668 --> 00:04:51,868
Speaker 8: in takeaways and everything they're doing defensively, and yet we.

106
00:04:51,868 --> 00:04:53,268
Speaker 5: All still fall on the quarterback.

107
00:04:53,348 --> 00:04:56,108
Speaker 8: Right it's always the quarterback's fall, and it's always his

108
00:04:57,068 --> 00:05:01,348
Speaker 8: impact that's going to determine the season. And Greg rostal

109
00:05:01,428 --> 00:05:03,108
Speaker 8: is talking about making this huge leap. You know what,

110
00:05:03,428 --> 00:05:05,868
Speaker 8: Mac Jones can make huge leap and he would still be

111
00:05:05,908 --> 00:05:08,868
Speaker 8: the fourth best quarterback in this division. So it's not

112
00:05:08,948 --> 00:05:11,588
Speaker 8: necessarily just you know, hey, look, Mac Jones has to

113
00:05:11,628 --> 00:05:12,108
Speaker 8: play better.

114
00:05:11,948 --> 00:05:13,188
Speaker 5: And they're gonna win football leagues.

115
00:05:13,268 --> 00:05:15,108
Speaker 8: This defense has to continue to play the way it's

116
00:05:15,148 --> 00:05:17,188
Speaker 8: done because this division has gotten better.

117
00:05:17,468 --> 00:05:20,148
Speaker 5: All right. They've been spanking the Jets for years.

118
00:05:20,148 --> 00:05:22,748
Speaker 8: That's gonna change. Aaron Rodgers is coming in. It's gonna

119
00:05:22,748 --> 00:05:25,388
Speaker 8: be a different rivalry. And I think the biggest thing

120
00:05:25,428 --> 00:05:26,588
Speaker 8: is you were talking about having fun.

121
00:05:27,468 --> 00:05:28,988
Speaker 5: All right. We got all kinds of nick names. Now,

122
00:05:29,188 --> 00:05:30,788
Speaker 5: what did Rosahal call them?

123
00:05:31,028 --> 00:05:33,108
Speaker 2: McCorkle, that's not a nickname, that's his real name.

124
00:05:33,148 --> 00:05:34,908
Speaker 5: That's his real name. But we have big names for them.

125
00:05:34,988 --> 00:05:38,068
Speaker 8: When we were having fun, we were calling mac and cheese, right, Well,

126
00:05:38,308 --> 00:05:40,548
Speaker 8: everybody's being back and cheese here, right. If you ever

127
00:05:40,588 --> 00:05:43,028
Speaker 8: tried to make mac and cheese, which with other people.

128
00:05:42,868 --> 00:05:44,868
Speaker 6: I'm disgusted by and cheese.

129
00:05:44,588 --> 00:05:46,548
Speaker 8: Okay, that's a different topic. I think you and some

130
00:05:46,628 --> 00:05:48,628
Speaker 8: other NFL players have already gone our record. I think

131
00:05:48,668 --> 00:05:50,308
Speaker 8: Matt Junon might have been one of those things that

132
00:05:50,348 --> 00:05:52,388
Speaker 8: said he didn't like mac and cheese. You make mac

133
00:05:52,388 --> 00:05:54,628
Speaker 8: of cheese by yourself or with the help of one person,

134
00:05:54,668 --> 00:05:56,268
Speaker 8: you start getting too many cooks in the kitchen, the

135
00:05:56,308 --> 00:05:59,748
Speaker 8: mac and cheese. It just things go awry, nobody nothing

136
00:05:59,788 --> 00:06:02,828
Speaker 8: gets done. That's who the office of coordinator has been

137
00:06:02,868 --> 00:06:06,068
Speaker 8: for the Patriots. It was three different guys last year.

138
00:06:06,108 --> 00:06:09,068
Speaker 8: So I think the fact that Bill O'Brien being the

139
00:06:09,108 --> 00:06:12,068
Speaker 8: lone voice for mac Jones right now is going to

140
00:06:12,108 --> 00:06:14,468
Speaker 8: make that mac and cheese cheesier. It's going to make

141
00:06:14,468 --> 00:06:16,308
Speaker 8: it better. All right, I'm trying to sell the mac

142
00:06:16,308 --> 00:06:18,068
Speaker 8: and cheese thing in case you in case you can't,

143
00:06:18,188 --> 00:06:18,628
Speaker 8: I'm just.

144
00:06:18,548 --> 00:06:20,868
Speaker 6: Trying to get over you. You implied that you might

145
00:06:20,948 --> 00:06:23,188
Speaker 6: need someone to help you make the mac and cheese.

146
00:06:23,188 --> 00:06:25,788
Speaker 6: At what point in the process of putting the noodles

147
00:06:25,788 --> 00:06:29,188
Speaker 6: in the boiling water exactly straining and then adding the

148
00:06:29,188 --> 00:06:31,148
Speaker 6: little cheese powder and the milk, at what point do

149
00:06:31,188 --> 00:06:33,028
Speaker 6: you need the soux chef to come in and really

150
00:06:33,028 --> 00:06:35,548
Speaker 6: take over the operation cheese.

151
00:06:35,948 --> 00:06:38,268
Speaker 5: That's my point. You don't need all that help.

152
00:06:38,308 --> 00:06:40,508
Speaker 8: But yet they had three people making the mac and

153
00:06:40,588 --> 00:06:43,628
Speaker 8: cheese last year. They had too many people. When I

154
00:06:43,708 --> 00:06:45,188
Speaker 8: was saying that people want to help you, it was

155
00:06:45,308 --> 00:06:47,388
Speaker 8: it was little kids. The kids always want to help

156
00:06:47,388 --> 00:06:49,348
Speaker 8: you mixed up, but they just make him messier. So

157
00:06:49,468 --> 00:06:50,388
Speaker 8: for Bill O'Brien.

158
00:06:50,588 --> 00:06:51,108
Speaker 5: This is huge.

159
00:06:51,108 --> 00:06:53,428
Speaker 8: I think for mac Jones, he's going to have one

160
00:06:53,428 --> 00:06:55,748
Speaker 8: guy talking to him, one person saying, all.

161
00:06:55,668 --> 00:06:57,308
Speaker 5: Right here, what don't you like? What do you like?

162
00:06:57,348 --> 00:06:58,468
Speaker 5: What do you see? How do you see?

163
00:06:58,908 --> 00:07:00,828
Speaker 8: Bill O'Brien's done in a long time, the league's coach

164
00:07:00,828 --> 00:07:02,588
Speaker 8: a lot of big quarterbacks. I think that's going to

165
00:07:02,628 --> 00:07:04,908
Speaker 8: have a huge impact on Mac joel season.

166
00:07:05,348 --> 00:07:07,748
Speaker 4: I going a little bit bigger picture with mac Jones

167
00:07:07,788 --> 00:07:10,428
Speaker 4: because I think someone touched on it here. Let's say

168
00:07:10,428 --> 00:07:12,708
Speaker 4: he makes a huge lead. Is he still the fourth

169
00:07:12,708 --> 00:07:16,468
Speaker 4: best quarterback in that division? Is this team is the

170
00:07:16,508 --> 00:07:19,028
Speaker 4: best that the Patriots can do last in the division

171
00:07:19,068 --> 00:07:21,628
Speaker 4: given who's in the division. Because we were looking this

172
00:07:21,788 --> 00:07:23,948
Speaker 4: up earlier, and I think this is interesting. The last

173
00:07:23,948 --> 00:07:26,628
Speaker 4: time the Patriots were the biggest long shot, this is

174
00:07:26,668 --> 00:07:28,268
Speaker 4: before the season starts. The last time they were the

175
00:07:28,268 --> 00:07:31,028
Speaker 4: biggest long shot to win the division, it was two

176
00:07:31,148 --> 00:07:34,268
Speaker 4: thousand and one, twelve to one. That's were their odds.

177
00:07:34,588 --> 00:07:36,148
Speaker 4: They went on to win the super Bowl that year.

178
00:07:36,348 --> 00:07:38,188
Speaker 4: They were the longest shot to win the division. I'm

179
00:07:38,228 --> 00:07:39,828
Speaker 4: not saying they're going to win the super Bowl. I

180
00:07:39,828 --> 00:07:43,428
Speaker 4: think it's a bigger statement on Bill Belichick, right, because

181
00:07:43,468 --> 00:07:45,228
Speaker 4: as soon as you write this team off and they

182
00:07:45,228 --> 00:07:47,788
Speaker 4: are sort of the forgotten team, which is insane to

183
00:07:47,828 --> 00:07:49,788
Speaker 4: think about if you go back a couple of years

184
00:07:49,868 --> 00:07:52,228
Speaker 4: and all that we've talked about the Patriots for years

185
00:07:52,228 --> 00:07:53,748
Speaker 4: and years and years, and then to think that, hey,

186
00:07:53,788 --> 00:07:55,468
Speaker 4: the best you can do is fourth in your the

187
00:07:55,508 --> 00:07:57,388
Speaker 4: division or the fourth best team in this division, I

188
00:07:57,428 --> 00:07:59,468
Speaker 4: just think it never plays out that way, right, And

189
00:07:59,508 --> 00:08:02,428
Speaker 4: Bill Belichick is someone who's never missed the postseason in

190
00:08:02,468 --> 00:08:04,148
Speaker 4: back to back years in New England, and he's been

191
00:08:04,148 --> 00:08:04,988
Speaker 4: in New England.

192
00:08:04,788 --> 00:08:05,468
Speaker 3: A long time.

193
00:08:05,748 --> 00:08:08,188
Speaker 4: So the last time that this team was underrated to

194
00:08:08,188 --> 00:08:10,428
Speaker 4: the extent that they've been underrated, they went on to

195
00:08:10,428 --> 00:08:11,868
Speaker 4: win the Super Bowl. That was a year they were

196
00:08:11,908 --> 00:08:13,948
Speaker 4: five and eleven. The year before they go win the

197
00:08:13,948 --> 00:08:15,348
Speaker 4: Super Bowl. I don't think they're going to win the

198
00:08:15,348 --> 00:08:17,028
Speaker 4: super Bowl, but I also think it means that they're

199
00:08:17,028 --> 00:08:19,108
Speaker 4: probably not the fourth best team in this division.

200
00:08:19,388 --> 00:08:22,108
Speaker 3: And it's you know, we love writing teams off.

201
00:08:22,148 --> 00:08:25,948
Speaker 4: We love anointing teams contenders before the season started, because

202
00:08:25,948 --> 00:08:27,668
Speaker 4: that's the easiest thing to do, and it's also what

203
00:08:27,668 --> 00:08:29,508
Speaker 4: do we say, twenty eight days, twenty seven days.

204
00:08:29,348 --> 00:08:32,028
Speaker 3: Yeah, until trading camps. We got some time, right, so

205
00:08:32,068 --> 00:08:34,108
Speaker 3: then we're well making things up. What do you got?

206
00:08:34,148 --> 00:08:37,868
Speaker 2: We've got time, and we don't know what's coming. Right.

207
00:08:37,948 --> 00:08:41,068
Speaker 2: Because DeAndre Hopkins had a good visit with the New

208
00:08:41,068 --> 00:08:43,908
Speaker 2: England Patriots, the Patriots sounded like they were confident that

209
00:08:44,308 --> 00:08:46,828
Speaker 2: even though he left, this was something that could potentially

210
00:08:46,868 --> 00:08:49,468
Speaker 2: be done here in the coming weeks. Dalvin Cook and

211
00:08:49,508 --> 00:08:51,948
Speaker 2: his social media activity, folks are looking into that. I mean,

212
00:08:51,988 --> 00:08:55,028
Speaker 2: if you potentially added those two pieces, that changes the

213
00:08:55,068 --> 00:08:58,468
Speaker 2: conversation for Mac Jones, that changes the conversation for the

214
00:08:58,508 --> 00:09:00,388
Speaker 2: New England Patriots. So I don't know if that's coming.

215
00:09:00,428 --> 00:09:03,348
Speaker 2: We may revisit this on July twenty seventh and say,

216
00:09:03,388 --> 00:09:05,908
Speaker 2: oh boy, this is a different perspective on what we're

217
00:09:05,908 --> 00:09:07,468
Speaker 2: expecting from Mike upcoming seas.

218
00:09:07,588 --> 00:09:09,748
Speaker 4: Let's just say, let's just say best say case scenario.

219
00:09:09,788 --> 00:09:12,068
Speaker 4: Let's say they signed one of those guys picked DeAndre

220
00:09:12,228 --> 00:09:14,068
Speaker 4: or Adapin. Let's say they signed one of those guys.

221
00:09:14,708 --> 00:09:17,388
Speaker 4: Don't you think the perception is still well, well, there's

222
00:09:17,428 --> 00:09:19,668
Speaker 4: still the Bills, there's still the Dolphins. People are already

223
00:09:19,668 --> 00:09:22,388
Speaker 4: talking about Dolphins Super Bowl contenders given what they've done.

224
00:09:22,668 --> 00:09:24,868
Speaker 3: And then you throw Aaron Jones into the Jets.

225
00:09:25,108 --> 00:09:27,348
Speaker 4: I mean even signing those guys, don't you feel like

226
00:09:27,388 --> 00:09:29,228
Speaker 4: the Patriots are still People are gonna still look at

227
00:09:29,228 --> 00:09:31,388
Speaker 4: them as sort of like the written off team. Yeah,

228
00:09:31,708 --> 00:09:34,508
Speaker 4: this is even with the signing one of those big guys.

229
00:09:34,308 --> 00:09:35,748
Speaker 2: This is a big year for them because within the

230
00:09:35,828 --> 00:09:37,468
Speaker 2: last couple of years, Tom Brady leaves and you're just

231
00:09:37,508 --> 00:09:39,668
Speaker 2: expecting the Patriots to jump back up, like we keep

232
00:09:39,708 --> 00:09:42,388
Speaker 2: waiting for that to happen. Now this is potentially going

233
00:09:42,428 --> 00:09:44,188
Speaker 2: to be three years in a row where they're not

234
00:09:44,348 --> 00:09:46,388
Speaker 2: that contender, where they're not that team that's jumping up,

235
00:09:46,428 --> 00:09:49,748
Speaker 2: and you start to have questions about the bigger picture

236
00:09:49,828 --> 00:09:51,628
Speaker 2: up there in New England. So this is certainly a

237
00:09:51,628 --> 00:09:53,668
Speaker 2: big year for that guy and a big year for

238
00:09:53,668 --> 00:09:54,188
Speaker 2: this franchise.

239
00:09:54,188 --> 00:09:57,068
Speaker 6: You talk about back Jones being the fourth out of

240
00:09:57,068 --> 00:09:59,908
Speaker 6: four quarterbacks in the AFCs. Go back to two thousand

241
00:09:59,948 --> 00:10:02,748
Speaker 6: and one. Okay, that first year with Tom Brady when

242
00:10:02,748 --> 00:10:04,908
Speaker 6: you won the Super Bowl. The other core and the

243
00:10:04,908 --> 00:10:07,828
Speaker 6: AFCs at that time where Jay Fiedler was pretty good

244
00:10:07,868 --> 00:10:11,948
Speaker 6: quarterback in Miami at the time, Vinnie Testaverdi Peyton Manning

245
00:10:12,428 --> 00:10:14,628
Speaker 6: and then Alex Van Pelton Rob Johnson Buffalo. But point

246
00:10:14,708 --> 00:10:17,948
Speaker 6: being that was not a quarterback centric type of a

247
00:10:17,988 --> 00:10:20,108
Speaker 6: Patriots team. Those first three Super Bowls are very much

248
00:10:20,188 --> 00:10:22,708
Speaker 6: driven by those big horses that they had on the defense.

249
00:10:22,708 --> 00:10:24,228
Speaker 6: So when you talk about this team, when you think

250
00:10:24,228 --> 00:10:27,548
Speaker 6: about Bill Belichick, who right now is chasing Vince Lombard's

251
00:10:27,788 --> 00:10:30,108
Speaker 6: record for wins, you know that he wants to show

252
00:10:30,108 --> 00:10:32,828
Speaker 6: he can win one more title without Tom Brady there.

253
00:10:33,428 --> 00:10:35,668
Speaker 6: It's got to be much the same formula, which is

254
00:10:35,708 --> 00:10:38,508
Speaker 6: have a really really good defense and hope that your

255
00:10:38,628 --> 00:10:41,268
Speaker 6: young quarterback can grow up really quickly here and perform

256
00:10:41,308 --> 00:10:44,028
Speaker 6: at a high enough level that the team around him

257
00:10:44,228 --> 00:10:46,348
Speaker 6: can support him and make you a Super Bowl content.

258
00:10:46,428 --> 00:10:48,628
Speaker 8: And the thing that goes with that defense is the

259
00:10:48,708 --> 00:10:50,908
Speaker 8: Patriots have always been a good running team. In the

260
00:10:50,948 --> 00:10:53,028
Speaker 8: last couple of years that has fallen off, that production

261
00:10:53,108 --> 00:10:53,668
Speaker 8: has fallen off.

262
00:10:53,668 --> 00:10:55,068
Speaker 5: So you bring up Dalvin Cook.

263
00:10:55,428 --> 00:11:00,148
Speaker 8: I feel like the Patriots throughout Belichick's career has made

264
00:11:00,868 --> 00:11:04,188
Speaker 8: a living off of plucking veteran talent from other teams

265
00:11:04,668 --> 00:11:08,428
Speaker 8: and finding ways to help them rejuvenate their career. Dalvin

266
00:11:08,468 --> 00:11:10,668
Speaker 8: Cook could definitely be a big factor with that him,

267
00:11:10,708 --> 00:11:12,508
Speaker 8: with Romandri Streaven Stevenson in the backfield.

268
00:11:12,508 --> 00:11:13,268
Speaker 5: That would be huge.

269
00:11:13,508 --> 00:11:15,308
Speaker 4: How attractive would it be for either of those guys

270
00:11:15,348 --> 00:11:17,148
Speaker 4: to go there given what that division looks like.

271
00:11:18,428 --> 00:11:21,788
Speaker 2: Well, Aaron Rodgers went to the AFC despite the fact

272
00:11:21,788 --> 00:11:25,428
Speaker 2: that the entire AFC was looking like a gauntlet. So,

273
00:11:25,748 --> 00:11:27,788
Speaker 2: you know what, it's the NFL. There are no gimmes,

274
00:11:27,828 --> 00:11:29,388
Speaker 2: there are no easy what's the pay?

275
00:11:29,788 --> 00:11:31,668
Speaker 6: What's most guys want to get to pay? Yes, well,

276
00:11:31,708 --> 00:11:33,748
Speaker 6: that's another part of it. But like with Delvin Cook,

277
00:11:33,988 --> 00:11:36,068
Speaker 6: I mean you can see most of the AFC East

278
00:11:36,108 --> 00:11:37,948
Speaker 6: pursuing him, so all of a sudden you start talking

279
00:11:37,948 --> 00:11:39,748
Speaker 6: about one of the numbers and where does he end up?

280
00:11:40,228 --> 00:11:42,068
Speaker 6: You're not just trying to get the guy on your team.

281
00:11:42,068 --> 00:11:44,028
Speaker 6: You're also maybe going right, if we keep him away

282
00:11:44,068 --> 00:11:46,388
Speaker 6: from these other teams, that may be beneficial for us

283
00:11:46,388 --> 00:11:46,748
Speaker 6: as well.

284
00:11:46,788 --> 00:11:48,668
Speaker 4: I just think the obvious answer is never the way

285
00:11:48,668 --> 00:11:50,868
Speaker 4: it shakes out, right, So if the Patriots are being

286
00:11:50,908 --> 00:11:54,788
Speaker 4: slated to be fourth beast in that division, they will not.

287
00:11:54,828 --> 00:11:57,268
Speaker 4: It just will not end up the way that you know,

288
00:11:57,628 --> 00:11:59,788
Speaker 4: the obvious answers are right now, That's why.

289
00:11:59,668 --> 00:12:00,308
Speaker 2: They played the game.

290
00:12:00,428 --> 00:12:01,148
Speaker 3: They play the game.

291
00:12:05,788 --> 00:12:08,588
Speaker 6: Would you rather as an NFL fan have your team

292
00:12:08,668 --> 00:12:11,668
Speaker 6: win the Super Bowl one time and then the other

293
00:12:11,788 --> 00:12:13,548
Speaker 6: nine years in that decade they suck. And I'm not

294
00:12:13,548 --> 00:12:15,748
Speaker 6: saying the buckets are going to or have sucked. I'm

295
00:12:15,748 --> 00:12:17,628
Speaker 6: just saying one good year and then the other nine

296
00:12:17,668 --> 00:12:21,628
Speaker 6: years are just total and complete, paying across all levels.

297
00:12:21,868 --> 00:12:25,348
Speaker 6: Or would you rather be in it ten consecutive years?

298
00:12:28,028 --> 00:12:29,828
Speaker 4: That was the debate we had at the breakfast table

299
00:12:30,028 --> 00:12:32,268
Speaker 4: yesterday morning, and then we asked Twitter to help us

300
00:12:32,308 --> 00:12:32,668
Speaker 4: settle it.

301
00:12:32,668 --> 00:12:33,588
Speaker 3: Here's a look at the results.

302
00:12:33,668 --> 00:12:35,948
Speaker 4: Nearly ninety percent of you voting.

303
00:12:35,948 --> 00:12:38,548
Speaker 3: For one Super Bowl win over being in the.

304
00:12:38,628 --> 00:12:42,628
Speaker 4: Race every season with no guarantee of a championship. Mike,

305
00:12:42,628 --> 00:12:44,628
Speaker 4: your fullaw at the breakfast table was in the minority.

306
00:12:44,628 --> 00:12:45,908
Speaker 4: He was the only one of us who said he

307
00:12:45,948 --> 00:12:48,468
Speaker 4: would take his team being good but never cash it

308
00:12:48,548 --> 00:12:50,828
Speaker 4: on the Super Bowl, and the rest of us said

309
00:12:51,268 --> 00:12:52,388
Speaker 4: we'll be terrible for nine years.

310
00:12:52,428 --> 00:12:55,188
Speaker 6: You more on my side on this. You were just because,

311
00:12:55,508 --> 00:12:58,308
Speaker 6: like we're talking about, if your calendar is dominated by

312
00:12:58,308 --> 00:13:01,708
Speaker 6: the rhythm of Sunday football games and being into it,

313
00:13:01,708 --> 00:13:03,468
Speaker 6: whether you're going to the games and your tailgating, or

314
00:13:03,508 --> 00:13:05,548
Speaker 6: you're just want to watch it and you don't have

315
00:13:05,588 --> 00:13:08,668
Speaker 6: to think every Sunday morning starting in mid November. What

316
00:13:08,708 --> 00:13:10,268
Speaker 6: am I gonna do? I guess I'm gonna go hang

317
00:13:10,268 --> 00:13:10,908
Speaker 6: out with the kids.

318
00:13:11,268 --> 00:13:13,388
Speaker 2: The other thing I was thinking about later in the

319
00:13:13,468 --> 00:13:16,148
Speaker 2: day was that I grew up an Eagles fan, and

320
00:13:16,188 --> 00:13:18,188
Speaker 2: they were good, like the Buddy Ryan teams. They were good,

321
00:13:18,268 --> 00:13:21,228
Speaker 2: but they never won a championship, not until I became

322
00:13:21,308 --> 00:13:24,268
Speaker 2: objective reporter and didn't care that they won the actual championship.

323
00:13:24,308 --> 00:13:26,628
Speaker 2: But back then, so I lived that life, and it's like, okay,

324
00:13:26,628 --> 00:13:28,428
Speaker 2: it was kind of cool when they were competitive, when

325
00:13:28,428 --> 00:13:30,948
Speaker 2: they were terrible. I remember how bad those years were

326
00:13:30,948 --> 00:13:32,188
Speaker 2: when they were out of it by November.

327
00:13:32,308 --> 00:13:34,068
Speaker 4: I meanwhile, Shannahatt and I are like, we'll sell out

328
00:13:34,108 --> 00:13:35,068
Speaker 4: for a super Bowl at any time.

329
00:13:35,268 --> 00:13:36,108
Speaker 3: We love a good debate.

330
00:13:36,148 --> 00:13:37,788
Speaker 4: Here is the point, though, at the breakfast table, So

331
00:13:37,828 --> 00:13:39,588
Speaker 4: to keep that trend going, we're going to play a

332
00:13:39,588 --> 00:13:41,868
Speaker 4: game of would you rather? And we start with an

333
00:13:41,948 --> 00:13:45,028
Speaker 4: article from NFL dot com that posed the question which

334
00:13:45,188 --> 00:13:49,508
Speaker 4: NFL fan base most deserves a Super Bowl title. Two

335
00:13:49,588 --> 00:13:52,388
Speaker 4: of those answers were the Lions and the Jags. Neither

336
00:13:52,468 --> 00:13:54,708
Speaker 4: of them have ever won a Super Bowl, but both

337
00:13:54,748 --> 00:13:56,108
Speaker 4: are currently on the rise.

338
00:13:56,148 --> 00:13:57,188
Speaker 3: So the question is this.

339
00:13:57,268 --> 00:14:01,028
Speaker 4: Would you rather hop on the Lion's bandwagon right now

340
00:14:01,188 --> 00:14:03,028
Speaker 4: or the Jags bandwagon?

341
00:14:03,188 --> 00:14:03,348
Speaker 6: Oh?

342
00:14:03,388 --> 00:14:06,268
Speaker 2: This is no disrespect to the Detroit Lions fan base.

343
00:14:06,468 --> 00:14:08,068
Speaker 2: You've been through a lot and you've hung in there

344
00:14:08,228 --> 00:14:10,668
Speaker 2: the whole time. But give me the Jacksonville Jaguars because

345
00:14:10,708 --> 00:14:13,508
Speaker 2: that is a fan base to see. Everybody thinks, oh,

346
00:14:13,748 --> 00:14:17,588
Speaker 2: Jacksonville's small market stadiums old, which by the way, they're

347
00:14:17,588 --> 00:14:19,628
Speaker 2: getting a new stadium, which is a tribute to that

348
00:14:19,708 --> 00:14:21,268
Speaker 2: fan base and the fact that they are sticking in

349
00:14:21,348 --> 00:14:23,988
Speaker 2: Jacksonville despite the fact that everybody said, oh, this team's

350
00:14:24,028 --> 00:14:27,028
Speaker 2: gonna move to London. No, they are committed to Douvo

351
00:14:27,228 --> 00:14:28,668
Speaker 2: and I love the way that the fans say that,

352
00:14:28,708 --> 00:14:31,948
Speaker 2: So I would jump on the bandwagon with the Jacksonville

353
00:14:31,988 --> 00:14:34,348
Speaker 2: Jaguars fans. You guys deserve a bit of an upswing.

354
00:14:34,388 --> 00:14:36,788
Speaker 2: It appears that it is coming with Doug Peterson, who

355
00:14:36,868 --> 00:14:39,028
Speaker 2: is a terrific head coach, and Trevor Lawrence and.

356
00:14:39,028 --> 00:14:41,308
Speaker 8: The whole crew down there. I like the Jaguars. They're fun,

357
00:14:41,348 --> 00:14:44,108
Speaker 8: they're exciting. But give me Detroit Lions. Give me the grit,

358
00:14:44,188 --> 00:14:46,268
Speaker 8: give me the toughness, give me the Midwestern give me

359
00:14:46,348 --> 00:14:49,428
Speaker 8: Dan Campbell. I can't get enough of coach Dan Campbell.

360
00:14:49,788 --> 00:14:52,428
Speaker 8: I feel like he is the NFL's version of Rip

361
00:14:52,468 --> 00:14:55,388
Speaker 8: from Yellowstone. Like this guy doesn't take any crap from anybody.

362
00:14:55,628 --> 00:14:57,908
Speaker 8: He's always got a chaw in, He's always got a

363
00:14:57,948 --> 00:15:00,708
Speaker 8: cold beer in his hand after the game. That's the

364
00:15:00,788 --> 00:15:02,468
Speaker 8: kind of guy that I want to play for. And

365
00:15:02,468 --> 00:15:03,628
Speaker 8: that's the kind of guy that I want to watch.

366
00:15:03,668 --> 00:15:05,388
Speaker 8: And if I'm a Detroit Lions fan, that's the guy

367
00:15:05,428 --> 00:15:07,988
Speaker 8: I want to root for. So give me the Detroit Lions.

368
00:15:08,028 --> 00:15:11,628
Speaker 8: I'm I'm all in on them finishing or starting this

369
00:15:11,668 --> 00:15:13,828
Speaker 8: season off the way they finished it last year. They

370
00:15:13,828 --> 00:15:16,188
Speaker 8: went eight and two down the stretch, and they're like

371
00:15:16,228 --> 00:15:18,388
Speaker 8: a different team. I watched them beat up on the

372
00:15:18,428 --> 00:15:20,348
Speaker 8: New York Giants right here, and I remember raft for

373
00:15:20,388 --> 00:15:22,268
Speaker 8: the game. All everybody could talk about was, man, that

374
00:15:22,388 --> 00:15:24,708
Speaker 8: is a tough team. Man they are. They are kicking

375
00:15:24,748 --> 00:15:27,388
Speaker 8: people's butts at the line of scrimmage. That's what the

376
00:15:27,428 --> 00:15:30,148
Speaker 8: city of Detroit represents. And they've got this new logo

377
00:15:30,228 --> 00:15:33,228
Speaker 8: that we talked about yesterday. It's a ferocious Lion, it's

378
00:15:33,228 --> 00:15:34,948
Speaker 8: a fighting lion. I think we're gonna see some of

379
00:15:35,028 --> 00:15:35,628
Speaker 8: that fire there.

380
00:15:35,668 --> 00:15:38,028
Speaker 5: It is right there. Look at the main on that guy.

381
00:15:38,988 --> 00:15:41,508
Speaker 2: See to me, he's stalking. He hasn't struck just yet.

382
00:15:41,628 --> 00:15:43,788
Speaker 2: He's right low, he's getting low.

383
00:15:43,908 --> 00:15:44,468
Speaker 5: He's stalking.

384
00:15:45,428 --> 00:15:47,988
Speaker 8: He's about to prey on those young Eagles, things that

385
00:15:48,108 --> 00:15:51,068
Speaker 8: are that are strolling in the footsteps of their father's sieves.

386
00:15:52,148 --> 00:15:54,748
Speaker 2: Hold on and here's both of you. And each year.

387
00:15:57,828 --> 00:15:59,668
Speaker 6: I'm with Sean on this and again I love what

388
00:15:59,748 --> 00:16:02,188
Speaker 6: the Jaguars are doing. Doug Peterson, Press Taylor and those guys.

389
00:16:02,268 --> 00:16:04,468
Speaker 6: Trevor Lawrence looks like you'd be a star. But and

390
00:16:04,668 --> 00:16:08,748
Speaker 6: Campbell proving everybody wrong. All the people who laughed about

391
00:16:08,828 --> 00:16:11,388
Speaker 6: them about one line in a press conference two and

392
00:16:11,428 --> 00:16:13,308
Speaker 6: a half years ago, and that's the only thing that

393
00:16:13,388 --> 00:16:17,108
Speaker 6: they knew about the Lions. There's depth to Dan Campbell.

394
00:16:17,148 --> 00:16:20,428
Speaker 6: He is a really smart football guy. The best teams

395
00:16:20,468 --> 00:16:24,308
Speaker 6: in the NFL take on the personality of their head coach,

396
00:16:24,508 --> 00:16:27,668
Speaker 6: and you watch the Lions play, they absolutely had. By

397
00:16:27,668 --> 00:16:30,428
Speaker 6: the way, They've added a bunch of fun pieces during

398
00:16:30,468 --> 00:16:34,468
Speaker 6: the course of this offseason. Chauncey Gardner Johnson, the Joker himself,

399
00:16:34,628 --> 00:16:36,868
Speaker 6: is now in Detroy, reunited with Dan Campbell and Aaron

400
00:16:36,868 --> 00:16:38,588
Speaker 6: Glenn who was with down in New Orleans. They had

401
00:16:38,628 --> 00:16:41,268
Speaker 6: a Cam Sutton and Emmanuel Moseley trying to shore up

402
00:16:41,308 --> 00:16:45,228
Speaker 6: that secondary. David Montgomery is now a Lion, Marvin Jones

403
00:16:45,348 --> 00:16:48,468
Speaker 6: is a Lion again. They took Jamiir Gibbs in the draft.

404
00:16:48,508 --> 00:16:51,188
Speaker 6: Who of all the players, all the first round picks.

405
00:16:51,228 --> 00:16:52,708
Speaker 6: I think that was one that everyone was like, how

406
00:16:52,788 --> 00:16:55,028
Speaker 6: in the world are they taking a running backs that high?

407
00:16:55,428 --> 00:16:57,588
Speaker 6: They were sitting at six, and if they hadn't been

408
00:16:57,628 --> 00:17:00,308
Speaker 6: able to trade back, they were taking Jamier Gibbs at six.

409
00:17:00,588 --> 00:17:03,388
Speaker 6: There was not another player that nobody was talking about.

410
00:17:03,428 --> 00:17:06,868
Speaker 6: The coaches more Rowndy loved around the entire NFL, then

411
00:17:06,948 --> 00:17:09,188
Speaker 6: Jamier Gibbs. He had a ton of fans. They can

412
00:17:09,308 --> 00:17:11,028
Speaker 6: use him in a lot of different ways in Ben

413
00:17:11,148 --> 00:17:13,428
Speaker 6: Johnson's offense, which is a lot of fun to watch.

414
00:17:13,548 --> 00:17:15,748
Speaker 6: In general, I just think that this Lions team, you're

415
00:17:15,788 --> 00:17:17,788
Speaker 6: going to see them start to branch out even further

416
00:17:17,868 --> 00:17:20,228
Speaker 6: from what they've been while also retaining that identity that

417
00:17:20,348 --> 00:17:21,508
Speaker 6: Dan Campbell's building Detroit.

418
00:17:21,948 --> 00:17:24,868
Speaker 4: To be clear, the poll that people were answering was

419
00:17:25,108 --> 00:17:28,148
Speaker 4: which NFL fan base most deserves the Super Bowl title?

420
00:17:28,228 --> 00:17:30,948
Speaker 4: And if that was our question, to me, it's no question.

421
00:17:31,028 --> 00:17:33,628
Speaker 4: It would be the Lions because they were founded in

422
00:17:33,748 --> 00:17:37,348
Speaker 4: nineteen thirty. The Jags were founded in nineteen ninety five,

423
00:17:37,508 --> 00:17:39,748
Speaker 4: so Lions fans look at the Jags. These guys are

424
00:17:39,788 --> 00:17:42,508
Speaker 4: like babies. They're in their infancy. So who most deserves it.

425
00:17:42,588 --> 00:17:43,308
Speaker 4: It's the Lions.

426
00:17:43,508 --> 00:17:46,348
Speaker 3: Now, our question was which fan base do you most

427
00:17:46,428 --> 00:17:46,948
Speaker 3: want to hop on?

428
00:17:47,428 --> 00:17:50,668
Speaker 4: And like Mike who mentioned he's a very objective reporter,

429
00:17:51,268 --> 00:17:54,548
Speaker 4: I played college soccer in Jacksonville when the Jags were

430
00:17:54,668 --> 00:17:57,588
Speaker 4: in their infancy, and so the whole town. It was

431
00:17:57,788 --> 00:18:00,708
Speaker 4: very cool. I was a college kid. Everyone's rallying around

432
00:18:00,748 --> 00:18:03,468
Speaker 4: Tony Bisselli and Mark Burnell and it was so exciting.

433
00:18:03,548 --> 00:18:05,868
Speaker 3: And they were good. They were good early on, and

434
00:18:06,028 --> 00:18:06,668
Speaker 3: they sort.

435
00:18:06,468 --> 00:18:08,388
Speaker 4: Of fell off the map and they've had some tough

436
00:18:08,468 --> 00:18:11,828
Speaker 4: years and now it's that upswing again. So if I'm

437
00:18:11,868 --> 00:18:15,548
Speaker 4: being completely honest, I have a special affinity for the

438
00:18:15,588 --> 00:18:18,428
Speaker 4: folks in Jacksonville spending time there. Give me the team

439
00:18:18,468 --> 00:18:19,708
Speaker 4: with the pool, give me the team that you can

440
00:18:19,748 --> 00:18:22,748
Speaker 4: wear tank tops in December. Give me my favorite subshot,

441
00:18:22,828 --> 00:18:25,668
Speaker 4: Angie subs down on Jacksonville Beach. I just have an

442
00:18:25,708 --> 00:18:28,068
Speaker 4: affinity for the Jaguars and what they're doing, and Mike

443
00:18:28,108 --> 00:18:29,068
Speaker 4: brought up the new stadium.

444
00:18:29,108 --> 00:18:31,868
Speaker 3: They're building completely new facilities.

445
00:18:31,348 --> 00:18:32,588
Speaker 4: That are going to be on the water that I

446
00:18:32,668 --> 00:18:35,748
Speaker 4: think are going to be so incredibly impressive. They're trying

447
00:18:35,788 --> 00:18:38,388
Speaker 4: to revitalize that downtown there. I don't want to be

448
00:18:38,468 --> 00:18:40,028
Speaker 4: bundled up for games in Detroit.

449
00:18:40,308 --> 00:18:41,748
Speaker 3: That's just me. I'm a Floridian so.

450
00:18:42,588 --> 00:18:44,428
Speaker 2: And I kept waiting for the picture of you playing

451
00:18:44,468 --> 00:18:45,508
Speaker 2: college Choker to pop.

452
00:18:45,388 --> 00:18:46,108
Speaker 5: Up, and it just never did.

453
00:18:46,228 --> 00:18:48,428
Speaker 3: I don't have it. It's definitely got to suck.

454
00:18:48,588 --> 00:18:50,548
Speaker 8: We can find that, right, Yeah, we can find that.

455
00:18:50,908 --> 00:18:55,068
Speaker 8: Are you a fan of Jackson Deville the mascot. He's

456
00:18:55,108 --> 00:18:56,148
Speaker 8: a swimmer, Yeah?

457
00:18:56,268 --> 00:18:57,468
Speaker 5: Yeah apparently yeah.

458
00:18:57,388 --> 00:19:01,068
Speaker 4: Yeah, well and he does the cables in Yeah, moving on,

459
00:19:01,188 --> 00:19:02,108
Speaker 4: we can find that graphic.

460
00:19:02,228 --> 00:19:05,788
Speaker 3: We'll find it in New York. Knicks forward Josh Heart sparked.

461
00:19:05,468 --> 00:19:08,148
Speaker 4: An interesting debate on Twitter this past weekend that had

462
00:19:08,228 --> 00:19:11,508
Speaker 4: some NFL stars chiming in. He tweeted that French toast

463
00:19:11,828 --> 00:19:16,988
Speaker 4: is better than both waffles and pancakes. Eagle's cornerback Daariu

464
00:19:17,028 --> 00:19:21,428
Speaker 4: Slay quick to agree, tweeting Big Facts. Blons fullback Jason

465
00:19:21,468 --> 00:19:23,988
Speaker 4: Committa also had his own thoughts tweeting agreed most of

466
00:19:24,068 --> 00:19:26,188
Speaker 4: the time. But the ceiling of pancakes is higher than

467
00:19:26,268 --> 00:19:29,548
Speaker 4: French toast and waffles. When made to perfect you you

468
00:19:29,548 --> 00:19:31,548
Speaker 4: can also do a kind of different pancakes. I don't

469
00:19:31,548 --> 00:19:33,228
Speaker 4: know how many different French toast you can do. So

470
00:19:33,348 --> 00:19:35,308
Speaker 4: I asked the table which food would you rather have

471
00:19:35,428 --> 00:19:38,428
Speaker 4: for breakfast? French toast, pancakes or waffles. These are the

472
00:19:38,548 --> 00:19:40,428
Speaker 4: riveting questions we're asking in June.

473
00:19:40,468 --> 00:19:42,028
Speaker 5: Sean, give me pancakes all day long.

474
00:19:42,108 --> 00:19:44,068
Speaker 8: I mean, look, I'm a former offensive lineman, so yes,

475
00:19:44,228 --> 00:19:46,468
Speaker 8: I know that there's a lot of cliches that come

476
00:19:46,508 --> 00:19:48,588
Speaker 8: with the pancakes, but no, also as a dad, like,

477
00:19:48,988 --> 00:19:50,508
Speaker 8: pancakes are fun, they're easy.

478
00:19:50,788 --> 00:19:52,388
Speaker 5: Yeah, you make it, you make it.

479
00:19:52,508 --> 00:19:54,268
Speaker 8: Some of them are just add water, right, We're all

480
00:19:54,308 --> 00:19:56,748
Speaker 8: about the easy, just add water stuff. But then there's

481
00:19:56,748 --> 00:20:01,788
Speaker 8: the Kodiac pancakes, proteins. But that's a great question, good

482
00:20:01,868 --> 00:20:05,428
Speaker 8: question where there's kids, there's a lot. But but pancakes,

483
00:20:05,428 --> 00:20:06,988
Speaker 8: you could spice them up, you can sprink them up.

484
00:20:07,028 --> 00:20:09,108
Speaker 8: But they're all so easy, and you could just say,

485
00:20:09,188 --> 00:20:11,068
Speaker 8: look that they're the standard and they're really hard to

486
00:20:11,188 --> 00:20:12,788
Speaker 8: mess up. I feel like some of the yellow ones.

487
00:20:12,908 --> 00:20:15,388
Speaker 6: You know, they get stuck to the waffle if you

488
00:20:15,428 --> 00:20:16,028
Speaker 6: don't flip them.

489
00:20:16,308 --> 00:20:17,988
Speaker 5: Pancakes well, I mean you just got to wash through

490
00:20:17,988 --> 00:20:19,948
Speaker 5: the bubbles. Once the bubbles come up, then boom. That's

491
00:20:19,988 --> 00:20:20,268
Speaker 5: how you know.

492
00:20:20,388 --> 00:20:23,908
Speaker 8: It's really easy. And the kids low they love to

493
00:20:23,948 --> 00:20:25,868
Speaker 8: decorate them. They get the little sprinkles on there.

494
00:20:25,988 --> 00:20:28,108
Speaker 5: Yeah, pancakes are a third for me.

495
00:20:28,308 --> 00:20:32,428
Speaker 2: However, I do make a solid blueberry lemon pancakes. So

496
00:20:32,468 --> 00:20:35,028
Speaker 2: if anybody's staying at my house over the next I

497
00:20:35,068 --> 00:20:37,668
Speaker 2: don't know, six to seven days and once the blueberry

498
00:20:37,748 --> 00:20:42,388
Speaker 2: lemon pancakes, just let me know, I would say, anyway,

499
00:20:43,428 --> 00:20:44,948
Speaker 2: if I were choosing what I was going to make

500
00:20:44,988 --> 00:20:47,188
Speaker 2: for myself, Sorry blank out for such Yes, you weren't

501
00:20:47,228 --> 00:20:50,828
Speaker 2: listening to me. I'm going French toast and it's good,

502
00:20:50,828 --> 00:20:52,628
Speaker 2: but it's good. Let's see the stock footage because I

503
00:20:52,668 --> 00:20:54,588
Speaker 2: want to make sure that with Yes, it's got to

504
00:20:54,588 --> 00:20:56,988
Speaker 2: have the powdered sugar. Powdered sugar is maybe the most

505
00:20:57,028 --> 00:20:59,428
Speaker 2: important ingredient in the French toast because without it it's

506
00:20:59,548 --> 00:21:01,988
Speaker 2: just kind of plain. And it's not that I don't

507
00:21:02,028 --> 00:21:04,068
Speaker 2: really eat sweets for breakfast. I try to keep it

508
00:21:04,148 --> 00:21:06,348
Speaker 2: on theis early in the day. I tend to though

509
00:21:06,388 --> 00:21:08,948
Speaker 2: you should. If you're gonna geat something sugary, you probably

510
00:21:08,948 --> 00:21:10,228
Speaker 2: should do it earlier in the day, becau then you

511
00:21:10,268 --> 00:21:13,068
Speaker 2: could burn it throughout whatever. Anyway, I had French toast

512
00:21:13,108 --> 00:21:15,148
Speaker 2: recently and I was like, hey, this is good, like

513
00:21:15,268 --> 00:21:18,348
Speaker 2: big facts like Darius Lay said, you want the pancakes.

514
00:21:18,388 --> 00:21:19,628
Speaker 6: No, I was just making sure you were done. Do

515
00:21:19,628 --> 00:21:20,348
Speaker 6: you want me to go now?

516
00:21:20,468 --> 00:21:21,068
Speaker 2: Yeah, go for it.

517
00:21:21,828 --> 00:21:24,468
Speaker 6: I don't eat, as you know, hardly anything. Yeah, there's

518
00:21:24,508 --> 00:21:26,508
Speaker 6: not a lot of cars. My pancakes are gluten free

519
00:21:26,588 --> 00:21:31,228
Speaker 6: Buddy Dairy. I eat two gluten free waffles every single day.

520
00:21:31,748 --> 00:21:33,548
Speaker 6: That's as part of my breakfast, along with some fruit.

521
00:21:33,628 --> 00:21:36,068
Speaker 6: So that's one reason that I'm on the waffle trade.

522
00:21:36,308 --> 00:21:39,228
Speaker 6: Number two. Any time you stay at a hotel where

523
00:21:39,228 --> 00:21:41,908
Speaker 6: your room cost under eighty dollars for the night, there's

524
00:21:41,948 --> 00:21:44,108
Speaker 6: not a lot of frills, right, you don't know quite

525
00:21:44,148 --> 00:21:46,828
Speaker 6: what's on the sheets. The gym is probably just one

526
00:21:46,908 --> 00:21:49,428
Speaker 6: treadmill that sometime from the Soviet era. There we go,

527
00:21:49,708 --> 00:21:53,228
Speaker 6: but there's a waffle maker in the lobby, and there

528
00:21:53,348 --> 00:21:56,068
Speaker 6: is a line down the hall. You get off the elevator,

529
00:21:56,108 --> 00:21:57,748
Speaker 6: and you don't know which way it is because there's

530
00:21:57,828 --> 00:22:01,148
Speaker 6: people lined up all with a plate to pour the

531
00:22:01,548 --> 00:22:04,068
Speaker 6: cup of stuff into it and then try to flip

532
00:22:04,148 --> 00:22:06,388
Speaker 6: it exactly the right time. And there's the one lady

533
00:22:06,588 --> 00:22:08,868
Speaker 6: who's texting and doesn't look, and then all of a

534
00:22:08,868 --> 00:22:11,828
Speaker 6: sudden it's caked on there. It's all stuck there. Now

535
00:22:11,948 --> 00:22:14,148
Speaker 6: she's trying to shake it. You got to get the manager.

536
00:22:14,228 --> 00:22:16,588
Speaker 6: There's only one person working at this hotel. They got

537
00:22:16,748 --> 00:22:19,348
Speaker 6: to come over. The point is, you can't make a

538
00:22:19,428 --> 00:22:22,948
Speaker 6: pancake in a hotel. Can't. You're not gonna make French toast,

539
00:22:23,388 --> 00:22:25,108
Speaker 6: but you can bring a waffle. All you need is

540
00:22:25,188 --> 00:22:28,668
Speaker 6: some hot iron and something on the dispenser.

541
00:22:29,828 --> 00:22:31,148
Speaker 2: They're in my ears saying it's a good.

542
00:22:31,068 --> 00:22:36,148
Speaker 5: Point, or earlier in mine earlier.

543
00:22:36,388 --> 00:22:38,628
Speaker 6: There is no early enough if you're staying in that

544
00:22:38,868 --> 00:22:41,828
Speaker 6: type of hotel. The checkout is at like nine thirty

545
00:22:41,908 --> 00:22:44,108
Speaker 6: am because they've got one person to go around and

546
00:22:44,148 --> 00:22:46,628
Speaker 6: service all the different rooms. You gotta get that. It

547
00:22:46,708 --> 00:22:49,348
Speaker 6: doesn't matter when you go, but you're gonna stand in line.

548
00:22:49,708 --> 00:22:51,668
Speaker 6: You're gonna stand in line for those waffles.

549
00:22:51,988 --> 00:22:55,028
Speaker 3: This is the guy that's a win for the waffle

550
00:22:55,188 --> 00:22:55,868
Speaker 3: that that you.

551
00:22:55,908 --> 00:22:58,788
Speaker 2: Could correct answers for the waffle unless you're gonna just

552
00:22:58,788 --> 00:22:59,868
Speaker 2: stand in line for a pancake.

553
00:23:00,068 --> 00:23:01,388
Speaker 6: I say no, The correct answer for the.

554
00:23:01,388 --> 00:23:04,348
Speaker 2: Waffle is it's got little places to collect the Sarah.

555
00:23:04,628 --> 00:23:05,948
Speaker 2: That's the correct answer for you shouldn't.

556
00:23:05,948 --> 00:23:06,708
Speaker 6: Maybe you should have said that.

557
00:23:06,948 --> 00:23:08,268
Speaker 2: But this is the guy that had the nerve to

558
00:23:08,308 --> 00:23:10,348
Speaker 2: say are you done and then went on a minute

559
00:23:10,348 --> 00:23:11,068
Speaker 2: and a half rant.

560
00:23:11,468 --> 00:23:14,588
Speaker 6: One's actually planning too, But it kid came on, Tom,

561
00:23:14,748 --> 00:23:18,028
Speaker 6: We'll leave the light on for you. I'm not calling

562
00:23:18,028 --> 00:23:20,828
Speaker 6: it a specific chain, but says can follow the trail

563
00:23:20,868 --> 00:23:26,068
Speaker 6: on that one. Sean Roger's back and heels out and

564
00:23:26,188 --> 00:23:28,508
Speaker 6: left and throws it down the field of got it.

565
00:23:28,668 --> 00:23:32,148
Speaker 2: Oh my goodness, what a play. It is right through

566
00:23:32,228 --> 00:23:33,268
Speaker 2: the heart of Texas.

567
00:23:33,588 --> 00:23:37,068
Speaker 4: The cowboys twenty three year wait to get past the

568
00:23:37,308 --> 00:23:39,548
Speaker 4: divisional round of the playoffs is going to stretch to

569
00:23:39,628 --> 00:23:40,148
Speaker 4: twenty four.

570
00:23:40,548 --> 00:23:42,908
Speaker 6: They gotta get up and clock the ball five four

571
00:23:43,388 --> 00:23:46,748
Speaker 6: three two. Game was over the forty nine ers of one.

572
00:23:48,028 --> 00:23:48,868
Speaker 7: What are they doing here?

573
00:23:49,108 --> 00:23:50,988
Speaker 2: Elliott's gonna snap the ball off.

574
00:23:51,828 --> 00:23:53,628
Speaker 6: He throws over the middle of the turpet pig A

575
00:23:53,748 --> 00:23:57,148
Speaker 6: t Hammer died by Jimmy ward Well that's a disappointment.

576
00:24:01,668 --> 00:24:04,348
Speaker 4: Those were the recent playoff woes of the Dallas Cowboy

577
00:24:04,588 --> 00:24:06,668
Speaker 4: and a couple of weeks ago, we were reminded that

578
00:24:06,748 --> 00:24:10,788
Speaker 4: it has been over ten thousand days since the Cowboys

579
00:24:10,948 --> 00:24:14,668
Speaker 4: won their last Super Bowl, and you put it that way, yeah, exactly.

580
00:24:14,748 --> 00:24:14,988
Speaker 3: Wow.

581
00:24:15,308 --> 00:24:19,068
Speaker 4: None of these things discouraging Dak Prescott, though, last week,

582
00:24:19,308 --> 00:24:22,348
Speaker 4: when asked about his team's goals for twenty three, here's

583
00:24:22,388 --> 00:24:22,788
Speaker 4: what he said.

584
00:24:24,788 --> 00:24:26,588
Speaker 9: Team goal is to win a super Bowl or not,

585
00:24:26,708 --> 00:24:29,108
Speaker 9: and it's truly a bust if we don't. And not

586
00:24:29,268 --> 00:24:31,828
Speaker 9: that that's okay, but that's what our standards have to

587
00:24:31,868 --> 00:24:34,108
Speaker 9: be for us to be able to thrive and to

588
00:24:34,188 --> 00:24:35,948
Speaker 9: get better in this atmosphere and.

589
00:24:37,508 --> 00:24:38,508
Speaker 5: In this world and being.

590
00:24:38,468 --> 00:24:40,628
Speaker 9: Under the Dallas Cowboys umbrella. I guess you could say

591
00:24:40,668 --> 00:24:42,108
Speaker 9: is that you have to accept that, you have to

592
00:24:42,148 --> 00:24:45,388
Speaker 9: accept those challenges. I've always said with great expectations come

593
00:24:45,428 --> 00:24:46,148
Speaker 9: greater results.

594
00:24:46,188 --> 00:24:47,948
Speaker 5: So bring them on and we're going to try to

595
00:24:47,988 --> 00:24:48,348
Speaker 5: answer that.

596
00:24:51,908 --> 00:24:54,628
Speaker 4: According to Dak, anything short of a Super Bowl is

597
00:24:54,668 --> 00:24:56,788
Speaker 4: a bust for the Dallas Cowboys, and the Cowboys have

598
00:24:56,868 --> 00:25:00,308
Speaker 4: made some changes in hopes of hoisting another Lombardi Trophy.

599
00:25:00,508 --> 00:25:04,148
Speaker 4: Most notably, they have parted ways with offensive coordinator Kellen Moore.

600
00:25:04,468 --> 00:25:06,868
Speaker 4: Head coach Mike McCarthy is gonna be their play caller.

601
00:25:07,388 --> 00:25:10,108
Speaker 4: So what is at stake for the Cowboys in twenty

602
00:25:10,268 --> 00:25:10,788
Speaker 4: twenty three?

603
00:25:10,908 --> 00:25:15,228
Speaker 2: Mike, Well, it just feels like just yesterday we did

604
00:25:15,228 --> 00:25:17,988
Speaker 2: the whole Dak Prescott contract thing, right, Remember, it was like,

605
00:25:18,148 --> 00:25:20,228
Speaker 2: is this gonna get done? Franchise tag? You know, I

606
00:25:20,308 --> 00:25:22,548
Speaker 2: mean another franchise tag was that gonna have? It's just

607
00:25:22,668 --> 00:25:25,108
Speaker 2: it was, I mean, it was dominated the news cycle.

608
00:25:24,908 --> 00:25:25,828
Speaker 6: For two three years.

609
00:25:26,268 --> 00:25:26,468
Speaker 5: Yeah.

610
00:25:26,708 --> 00:25:29,308
Speaker 2: Well, guess what, I've got two years left on Dak

611
00:25:29,348 --> 00:25:31,708
Speaker 2: Prescott's deal right now. So what's at stake for the

612
00:25:31,868 --> 00:25:34,908
Speaker 2: Cowboys in twenty twenty three? I start to think about, well,

613
00:25:34,988 --> 00:25:37,708
Speaker 2: what if I know we're talking about Super Bowl aspirations,

614
00:25:37,788 --> 00:25:41,348
Speaker 2: but what if the team doesn't perform? Well, what if

615
00:25:41,348 --> 00:25:44,308
Speaker 2: the quarterback doesn't perform? We're now gonna be entering the contract.

616
00:25:44,508 --> 00:25:46,588
Speaker 2: We're gonna do this. Did we just do this? We're

617
00:25:46,628 --> 00:25:49,468
Speaker 2: gonna do this again. We're gonna head into twenty twenty

618
00:25:49,548 --> 00:25:51,788
Speaker 2: four asking whether Dak Prescott is gonna be the long

619
00:25:51,868 --> 00:25:54,588
Speaker 2: term solution for the Cowboys. We're gonna read into everything.

620
00:25:54,708 --> 00:25:57,388
Speaker 2: Jerry Jones is saying on the radio and elsewhere about

621
00:25:57,388 --> 00:26:00,508
Speaker 2: the quarterback situation. That's what's at stake for the Cowboys

622
00:26:00,748 --> 00:26:03,068
Speaker 2: in twenty twenty three, to me, is what's the direction

623
00:26:03,188 --> 00:26:06,588
Speaker 2: of their franchise quarterback. If the team doesn't perform up

624
00:26:06,628 --> 00:26:09,068
Speaker 2: the expectations, everybody's gonna look at the guy under center,

625
00:26:09,308 --> 00:26:11,228
Speaker 2: and we're gonna start to have these questions, and we're

626
00:26:11,228 --> 00:26:12,988
Speaker 2: gonna start to have a lot of conversations around this

627
00:26:13,108 --> 00:26:15,548
Speaker 2: table and some other TV sets and some other radio

628
00:26:15,628 --> 00:26:17,628
Speaker 2: shows as well about Dak Prescott in his future with

629
00:26:17,668 --> 00:26:19,548
Speaker 2: the Cowboys. I can't believe we're about to do this again.

630
00:26:19,988 --> 00:26:23,708
Speaker 6: Jerry Jones is eighty years old. We know how desperately

631
00:26:24,228 --> 00:26:25,908
Speaker 6: he wants to win another Super Bowl. But if you

632
00:26:25,988 --> 00:26:28,628
Speaker 6: look at the way the Cowboys have built this thing,

633
00:26:28,668 --> 00:26:31,908
Speaker 6: particularly over the last few years here, they're not acting

634
00:26:32,068 --> 00:26:35,228
Speaker 6: in a desperate manner. They are building very much through

635
00:26:35,308 --> 00:26:37,628
Speaker 6: the draft, which is how Mike McCarthy prefers to do it,

636
00:26:37,948 --> 00:26:41,228
Speaker 6: supplementing with low rist types of moves and free agency

637
00:26:41,308 --> 00:26:43,068
Speaker 6: and trades like the ones that brought in Brandon Cooks

638
00:26:43,108 --> 00:26:45,908
Speaker 6: and Stefan Gilmour through the course this offseason. So I

639
00:26:45,948 --> 00:26:47,828
Speaker 6: would saying the same thing as at stake this year,

640
00:26:48,348 --> 00:26:50,588
Speaker 6: as every year, which is the chance to deliver that

641
00:26:50,708 --> 00:26:55,268
Speaker 6: Super Bowl to Jerry. But they have not sacrificed other things.

642
00:26:55,308 --> 00:26:58,268
Speaker 6: They've not overleveraged themselves just to try to make it

643
00:26:58,428 --> 00:27:00,828
Speaker 6: happen now and then, oh boy, if it fails, we

644
00:27:00,948 --> 00:27:03,028
Speaker 6: got to blow the thing up. The Packers won it

645
00:27:03,068 --> 00:27:05,828
Speaker 6: all and Mike McCarthy's fifth season in Green Bay, this

646
00:27:05,908 --> 00:27:08,628
Speaker 6: is year four in Dallas. Each year they've taken a

647
00:27:08,668 --> 00:27:11,668
Speaker 6: step closer. They won a playoff game last year. If

648
00:27:11,668 --> 00:27:14,068
Speaker 6: they stay healthy, Sean, there's no reason to think that

649
00:27:14,108 --> 00:27:16,828
Speaker 6: they don't have the opportunity to take another step and maybe,

650
00:27:17,068 --> 00:27:18,708
Speaker 6: as Dak said, another step beyond that.

651
00:27:18,948 --> 00:27:21,468
Speaker 8: Yeah, I mean, and the next step is to get

652
00:27:21,468 --> 00:27:23,508
Speaker 8: to the chaps of game. They can't get out of

653
00:27:23,548 --> 00:27:25,428
Speaker 8: the divisional round. That's really what this is all about.

654
00:27:25,468 --> 00:27:26,908
Speaker 8: And it's funny. We had a whole segment on here

655
00:27:26,948 --> 00:27:30,228
Speaker 8: would you rather be, you know, just to have ten

656
00:27:30,268 --> 00:27:32,748
Speaker 8: wins every single year and never make it to the

657
00:27:33,468 --> 00:27:35,588
Speaker 8: final game, to the super Bowl. It feels like that's

658
00:27:35,588 --> 00:27:37,428
Speaker 8: whe Dallas Cowboys fans are right now, Like they're just

659
00:27:37,508 --> 00:27:39,068
Speaker 8: really good. Every year they make it to the playoffs,

660
00:27:39,068 --> 00:27:41,188
Speaker 8: and then they know like, all right, hey, we're one

661
00:27:41,268 --> 00:27:44,068
Speaker 8: and done. We're bounced after the second week. I think

662
00:27:44,108 --> 00:27:47,468
Speaker 8: with the Dallas Cowboys, it's all about Mike McCarthy, what's

663
00:27:47,468 --> 00:27:50,228
Speaker 8: at stake this year. Look, Dak Prescott's not going anywhere.

664
00:27:50,348 --> 00:27:51,908
Speaker 8: I think Dak Prescott might be one of the most

665
00:27:51,988 --> 00:27:54,228
Speaker 8: underappreciated quarterbacks in the league right now. Last year he

666
00:27:54,348 --> 00:27:56,468
Speaker 8: threw fifteen interceptions, led the league. I know he missed

667
00:27:56,468 --> 00:27:58,828
Speaker 8: five games. I understand all that, but that's the way

668
00:27:58,908 --> 00:28:00,708
Speaker 8: the offense was designed. They were taket shots, they were

669
00:28:00,788 --> 00:28:03,908
Speaker 8: going vertical, they were getting after it. Mike McCarthy has

670
00:28:03,948 --> 00:28:06,748
Speaker 8: gone on red and said, I'm not trying to be

671
00:28:07,508 --> 00:28:09,388
Speaker 8: the number one offense in the league anymore.

672
00:28:09,388 --> 00:28:11,748
Speaker 5: All right, the Kellen Moore's out, and you can.

673
00:28:11,708 --> 00:28:13,828
Speaker 8: Kind of look at this quote right here by Mike

674
00:28:13,948 --> 00:28:16,428
Speaker 8: McCarthy and kind of just see like there's a little

675
00:28:16,428 --> 00:28:19,428
Speaker 8: bit of like, Okay, what are we doing here? He says,

676
00:28:19,468 --> 00:28:21,108
Speaker 8: I've been where Kellen has been. Kellen wants to light

677
00:28:21,188 --> 00:28:23,948
Speaker 8: up the scoreboard, little jab there. I want to run

678
00:28:23,988 --> 00:28:25,868
Speaker 8: the damn ball so we could rest my defense. Think

679
00:28:25,868 --> 00:28:27,508
Speaker 8: when you're a coordinator, you're a charge of the offense.

680
00:28:27,588 --> 00:28:29,508
Speaker 8: Being a head coach and being a play caller, you're

681
00:28:29,508 --> 00:28:32,348
Speaker 8: a little more in tune. So there's a couple of

682
00:28:32,388 --> 00:28:34,148
Speaker 8: strays in there if you kind of look at it

683
00:28:34,228 --> 00:28:36,708
Speaker 8: that way. But for Mike McCarthy's talking about we're gonna

684
00:28:36,748 --> 00:28:39,628
Speaker 8: run the football, well, Tony Poller's never carried an entire season,

685
00:28:39,668 --> 00:28:41,228
Speaker 8: He's never carried an entire load. So you've got an

686
00:28:41,308 --> 00:28:44,228
Speaker 8: unknown there. But Mike McCarthy was brought in to win

687
00:28:44,228 --> 00:28:45,868
Speaker 8: the Super Bowl. He was brought in to bring a

688
00:28:45,988 --> 00:28:49,348
Speaker 8: championship that hasn't happened. Now, when you start firing coordinators,

689
00:28:50,228 --> 00:28:52,948
Speaker 8: guess what, dan Quinn's not going anywhere like then now

690
00:28:52,948 --> 00:28:54,628
Speaker 8: all of a sudden, the seat starts getting hot on you.

691
00:28:54,668 --> 00:28:55,508
Speaker 5: If things aren't going well.

692
00:28:55,588 --> 00:28:57,468
Speaker 8: If you look at the Cowboys schedule, their first six

693
00:28:57,588 --> 00:29:01,748
Speaker 8: games are brutal and they've got some tough opponents. That's

694
00:29:01,788 --> 00:29:04,028
Speaker 8: going to be a very interesting start to the season

695
00:29:04,068 --> 00:29:05,868
Speaker 8: if things don't go really well for Mike McCarthy, and

696
00:29:05,908 --> 00:29:07,988
Speaker 8: he's the one that's going to be taking this offense

697
00:29:08,028 --> 00:29:09,668
Speaker 8: by the reins and he's saying, look, we want to

698
00:29:09,748 --> 00:29:11,988
Speaker 8: run the football, take care of the ball. It also

699
00:29:12,068 --> 00:29:13,508
Speaker 8: kind of was a little bit of a shot at

700
00:29:13,548 --> 00:29:15,388
Speaker 8: Dak Prescott. I thought where he was saying, look, we've

701
00:29:15,428 --> 00:29:16,868
Speaker 8: got to take the ball out of his hands and

702
00:29:16,948 --> 00:29:20,348
Speaker 8: run the football more. I think Dak is your best

703
00:29:20,388 --> 00:29:22,228
Speaker 8: off of the player. They got to let him flourish.

704
00:29:22,268 --> 00:29:24,828
Speaker 8: I have no questions about how well Dak Prescott's going

705
00:29:24,868 --> 00:29:26,228
Speaker 8: to play. I think Brandon Coach is going to be

706
00:29:26,268 --> 00:29:28,308
Speaker 8: a huge addition for him in that offense. But it's

707
00:29:28,348 --> 00:29:30,468
Speaker 8: Mike McCarthy that's really That's what's at stake here.

708
00:29:30,628 --> 00:29:32,788
Speaker 6: The other thing with that quote was Mike was referencing

709
00:29:32,908 --> 00:29:34,748
Speaker 6: in twenty twenty when if you look at the numbers,

710
00:29:34,788 --> 00:29:36,868
Speaker 6: their run numbers were really low, and there were times

711
00:29:36,908 --> 00:29:39,788
Speaker 6: in games where they're up and they're still throwing the football.

712
00:29:40,028 --> 00:29:42,748
Speaker 6: The run numbers increase substantially in twenty twenty one and

713
00:29:42,788 --> 00:29:44,868
Speaker 6: twenty twenty two. So this is not saying they're going

714
00:29:44,948 --> 00:29:46,788
Speaker 6: to go try to run at six hundred times this year.

715
00:29:46,828 --> 00:29:49,228
Speaker 6: That's just not realistic. But they do want to have balance.

716
00:29:49,508 --> 00:29:51,548
Speaker 6: You look at on Mike McCarthy ran things. You mentioned

717
00:29:51,628 --> 00:29:53,668
Speaker 6: Ryan Grant earlier. He was one of those running backs

718
00:29:53,668 --> 00:29:55,188
Speaker 6: they had in Green Bay. They run a bunch of

719
00:29:55,228 --> 00:29:57,268
Speaker 6: different guys through there, they wanted to be able to

720
00:29:57,348 --> 00:29:59,388
Speaker 6: have that run pass balance and to play a certain

721
00:29:59,468 --> 00:30:02,548
Speaker 6: style of football. They're staying in Dak Prescott's language. There

722
00:30:02,588 --> 00:30:04,988
Speaker 6: are some things that schematically philosophical going to be different.

723
00:30:05,028 --> 00:30:07,988
Speaker 2: Edie Lacy says, Hello, we're checking off all the former

724
00:30:08,628 --> 00:30:09,708
Speaker 2: Packers running backs today.

725
00:30:10,868 --> 00:30:13,628
Speaker 3: It's not fair. By no means is it fair.

726
00:30:13,828 --> 00:30:15,988
Speaker 4: But I think that there is just a different level

727
00:30:16,108 --> 00:30:18,788
Speaker 4: of pressure and expectations on the Cowboys. And what I

728
00:30:18,908 --> 00:30:21,108
Speaker 4: mean by that is, even at the end of last season,

729
00:30:21,188 --> 00:30:23,508
Speaker 4: there were questions about Mike McCarthy's job when they were

730
00:30:23,588 --> 00:30:25,228
Speaker 4: going to the playoffs.

731
00:30:24,828 --> 00:30:26,028
Speaker 3: And it was like, is Mike going to be back?

732
00:30:26,028 --> 00:30:28,428
Speaker 4: I mean, they had even they hadn't even we hadn't

733
00:30:28,428 --> 00:30:30,828
Speaker 4: even started the postseason, and there was that question. So

734
00:30:31,108 --> 00:30:33,308
Speaker 4: to your point, in this rough set schedule, it's not

735
00:30:33,308 --> 00:30:34,908
Speaker 4: gonna happen in the middle of the year. But I

736
00:30:35,028 --> 00:30:40,068
Speaker 4: think that the questions crop up a lot sooner and

737
00:30:40,668 --> 00:30:43,828
Speaker 4: a lot heavier with the Dallas Cowboys than with other franchises.

738
00:30:43,868 --> 00:30:45,588
Speaker 4: I mean, there's a couple others that fit in that category,

739
00:30:45,628 --> 00:30:47,828
Speaker 4: but I think no more so than the Dallas Cowboys

740
00:30:47,868 --> 00:30:50,548
Speaker 4: in terms of the spotlight. They're called America seemed for

741
00:30:50,588 --> 00:30:52,308
Speaker 4: reason because everyone is watching them at all times, so

742
00:30:52,388 --> 00:30:54,468
Speaker 4: it's not just Mike McCarthy. I know what you're saying

743
00:30:54,468 --> 00:30:56,588
Speaker 4: about Dak being a great quarterback, but if Dak again

744
00:30:56,668 --> 00:31:00,108
Speaker 4: has the same interception issues, and to Mike's point about

745
00:31:00,268 --> 00:31:03,628
Speaker 4: the contract y're coming up, I think that those questions.

746
00:31:03,308 --> 00:31:05,708
Speaker 3: Get raised because this is insane to me.

747
00:31:06,148 --> 00:31:08,588
Speaker 4: But remember when he goes out Week one of last

748
00:31:08,668 --> 00:31:11,068
Speaker 4: year against the Buccaneers and then Cooper Rush comes in

749
00:31:11,148 --> 00:31:13,948
Speaker 4: and wins the next four games. They were talking about

750
00:31:14,228 --> 00:31:15,948
Speaker 4: a potential quarterback controversy.

751
00:31:15,948 --> 00:31:18,148
Speaker 3: I mean that conversation was percolating.

752
00:31:18,188 --> 00:31:20,868
Speaker 4: We get removed from something and then we forget about

753
00:31:20,868 --> 00:31:23,268
Speaker 4: it really quickly. But remember where this team was a

754
00:31:23,388 --> 00:31:25,308
Speaker 4: year ago when that happened, and people are going, oh, well,

755
00:31:25,348 --> 00:31:26,068
Speaker 4: they're on a winning.

756
00:31:25,868 --> 00:31:28,308
Speaker 3: Street to Dax's your guy, Dax your guy, and they

757
00:31:28,348 --> 00:31:31,108
Speaker 3: were considering do you put Dak back in? And so

758
00:31:31,268 --> 00:31:33,268
Speaker 3: I say all that to say, if things.

759
00:31:33,108 --> 00:31:36,908
Speaker 4: Start roughly, I think there could be questions about Dak

760
00:31:36,948 --> 00:31:38,748
Speaker 4: and going forward, and then there's questions that they have

761
00:31:38,828 --> 00:31:40,788
Speaker 4: to answer about the contract and is this the guy

762
00:31:40,868 --> 00:31:43,468
Speaker 4: for the future. I also think that people get really

763
00:31:43,508 --> 00:31:46,228
Speaker 4: spoiled with quarterbacks, and Dak is really good, as you

764
00:31:46,268 --> 00:31:48,868
Speaker 4: were talking about, even with the interceptions, there is such

765
00:31:48,908 --> 00:31:52,148
Speaker 4: a tiny, tiny little group of the elite, elite guys,

766
00:31:52,788 --> 00:31:56,188
Speaker 4: and that's Patrick Mahomes, that's Aaron Rodgers, right, and then

767
00:31:56,188 --> 00:31:59,468
Speaker 4: there's another crop of really, really good quarterbacks and Dak's

768
00:31:59,468 --> 00:32:02,228
Speaker 4: in that crop of quarterbacks. And how many teams would

769
00:32:02,388 --> 00:32:04,788
Speaker 4: love to take a quarterback from you know, if he

770
00:32:04,908 --> 00:32:06,628
Speaker 4: wasn't with the Cowboys, he would be signing a heartbeat.

771
00:32:06,628 --> 00:32:09,508
Speaker 4: Somebody would love to have a Dak Prescott. The situation is,

772
00:32:09,548 --> 00:32:11,188
Speaker 4: though he plays for the Dallas Cowboys, and when that

773
00:32:11,268 --> 00:32:15,188
Speaker 4: stars on the helmet, the expectations are different. You're judged differently,

774
00:32:15,588 --> 00:32:18,348
Speaker 4: your stats are looked at differently. And if this team

775
00:32:18,428 --> 00:32:20,348
Speaker 4: doesn't get to where they think that they can go,

776
00:32:20,508 --> 00:32:22,908
Speaker 4: and Dak talked about that, I think there's gonna be

777
00:32:22,948 --> 00:32:25,428
Speaker 4: big question marks whether it's right or wrong, or whether

778
00:32:25,548 --> 00:32:27,908
Speaker 4: you think this is complete insanity that they should ever

779
00:32:27,988 --> 00:32:30,108
Speaker 4: think about going outside of the deck. You know that

780
00:32:30,588 --> 00:32:32,308
Speaker 4: the questions are going to come up. They came up

781
00:32:32,348 --> 00:32:35,188
Speaker 4: when Cooper Rush took over, because that is what happens

782
00:32:35,228 --> 00:32:37,068
Speaker 4: when you play for the Dallas Cowboys. And I think

783
00:32:37,108 --> 00:32:40,508
Speaker 4: that again, if they don't, not winning the Super Bowl

784
00:32:40,668 --> 00:32:42,828
Speaker 4: is going to always be not enough for them, right,

785
00:32:42,988 --> 00:32:46,188
Speaker 4: And we've been sitting on this margin for a while

786
00:32:46,228 --> 00:32:47,548
Speaker 4: where they're really good, they.

787
00:32:47,508 --> 00:32:49,468
Speaker 3: Have the talent to do it, and yet they haven't

788
00:32:49,508 --> 00:32:49,748
Speaker 3: done it.

789
00:32:50,028 --> 00:32:52,388
Speaker 4: And when you start rolling into that contract year, as

790
00:32:52,468 --> 00:32:55,348
Speaker 4: Mike talked about, I mean, it's gonna get it's gonna

791
00:32:55,388 --> 00:32:57,668
Speaker 4: get juicy, it's gonna get interesting, it's gonna get that

792
00:32:57,748 --> 00:32:58,628
Speaker 4: Spielt spotlight.

793
00:32:58,628 --> 00:32:59,548
Speaker 3: It's only going to get brighter.

794
00:32:59,628 --> 00:33:02,228
Speaker 2: Dak's about to turn thirty on July twenty nine. How

795
00:33:02,228 --> 00:33:04,068
Speaker 2: many days still Dak Prescott's.

796
00:33:03,508 --> 00:33:05,868
Speaker 5: Birthday July twenty ninth, thirty two.

797
00:33:06,268 --> 00:33:07,828
Speaker 2: Yeah, there you go. You would have had that if

798
00:33:07,868 --> 00:33:09,788
Speaker 2: I gave you a little heads up there it was

799
00:33:09,868 --> 00:33:12,148
Speaker 2: coming to coming. But that now you're talking about that

800
00:33:12,228 --> 00:33:15,388
Speaker 2: contract now is for a thirty two year old into

801
00:33:15,708 --> 00:33:16,228
Speaker 2: thirty six.

802
00:33:16,308 --> 00:33:16,388
Speaker 5: Now.

803
00:33:16,428 --> 00:33:19,108
Speaker 2: I know we're used to seeing quarterbacks play close to

804
00:33:19,508 --> 00:33:23,348
Speaker 2: and past forty, but you start to have these conversations, potentially,

805
00:33:23,428 --> 00:33:25,388
Speaker 2: especially when it's the Cowboys, right, because that's going to

806
00:33:25,428 --> 00:33:27,908
Speaker 2: dominate the conversation, and that's gonna make it that much

807
00:33:27,988 --> 00:33:30,148
Speaker 2: more juicy for us to talk about and for other

808
00:33:30,188 --> 00:33:32,068
Speaker 2: people to talk about. So that's when we talk about

809
00:33:32,388 --> 00:33:35,308
Speaker 2: the conversation or what's at stake That to me is

810
00:33:35,508 --> 00:33:37,348
Speaker 2: in my head. I can see us at this table

811
00:33:37,468 --> 00:33:40,108
Speaker 2: at this point next year having these conversations potentially for

812
00:33:40,228 --> 00:33:43,668
Speaker 2: real or not or are they quite these potential concerns.

813
00:33:43,668 --> 00:33:45,748
Speaker 6: Well, it's surely possible the Cowboys get something done with

814
00:33:45,828 --> 00:33:47,828
Speaker 6: Dack before that, but they've got a line of guys

815
00:33:47,908 --> 00:33:50,388
Speaker 6: right now. Tony Pollard, you have until July seventeenth to

816
00:33:50,468 --> 00:33:52,668
Speaker 6: work out a contract with him. Or everything I've heard,

817
00:33:52,708 --> 00:33:55,468
Speaker 6: he looks great behind the scenes right now, no concerns

818
00:33:55,508 --> 00:33:57,148
Speaker 6: coming off of that injury. You got to get a

819
00:33:57,188 --> 00:34:00,028
Speaker 6: Treyvon Diggs deal done at some point. Eventually you're going

820
00:34:00,068 --> 00:34:01,748
Speaker 6: to do a CD LAMB deal, although I think he

821
00:34:01,788 --> 00:34:04,388
Speaker 6: would wait like everybody else will till justin Jefferson's contract

822
00:34:04,548 --> 00:34:07,148
Speaker 6: eventually gets done to see exactly where that wide receiver

823
00:34:07,308 --> 00:34:09,268
Speaker 6: market is going to go. I think there's a really

824
00:34:09,308 --> 00:34:11,468
Speaker 6: interesting question here too that you just brought up. The

825
00:34:11,508 --> 00:34:14,588
Speaker 6: Cowboys are always that team right where people go into

826
00:34:14,628 --> 00:34:18,788
Speaker 6: the season, not internally but fans and the media with

827
00:34:18,948 --> 00:34:21,588
Speaker 6: their hand about this far that far away from the

828
00:34:21,628 --> 00:34:23,748
Speaker 6: panic button, ready to hit it on the Dallas Cowboys.

829
00:34:23,828 --> 00:34:26,148
Speaker 6: Who are the other teams you're listing, like the top

830
00:34:26,228 --> 00:34:29,468
Speaker 6: teams this year that everybody's just waiting its red meat

831
00:34:29,748 --> 00:34:31,348
Speaker 6: if they don't start fast. Who are they?

832
00:34:32,028 --> 00:34:32,308
Speaker 3: Jets?

833
00:34:32,908 --> 00:34:33,708
Speaker 5: Those are two of them.

834
00:34:33,868 --> 00:34:36,468
Speaker 6: The Bills based on the Stefan Die situation is probably

835
00:34:36,508 --> 00:34:39,428
Speaker 6: another one that belongs in that situation. There's there's the

836
00:34:39,508 --> 00:34:41,868
Speaker 6: other teams that like and again nothing against the Jaguars,

837
00:34:41,908 --> 00:34:44,268
Speaker 6: but the Jaguars start one and three, everyone's just like,

838
00:34:44,348 --> 00:34:46,588
Speaker 6: no one's gonna notice because they're playing at one o'clock.

839
00:34:46,908 --> 00:34:48,588
Speaker 6: No one's even gonna be thinking about it. But if

840
00:34:48,628 --> 00:34:51,148
Speaker 6: it's the Cowboys, it's we got to lose our minds

841
00:34:51,188 --> 00:34:54,348
Speaker 6: over it. Just like yeah, the Jets, Yes, Packers, the Bills.

842
00:34:54,428 --> 00:34:56,308
Speaker 4: We were talking about what was it the urgency meter

843
00:34:56,388 --> 00:34:58,588
Speaker 4: that Dan Hansers did and who.

844
00:34:58,508 --> 00:35:00,228
Speaker 3: Was the Bills were on the top? Where were the Cowboys?

845
00:35:00,268 --> 00:35:01,868
Speaker 3: Were the Cowboys too? I'm just kidding.

846
00:35:01,868 --> 00:35:03,748
Speaker 6: They were on the list. He had a lot of

847
00:35:04,628 --> 00:35:08,308
Speaker 6: nine plus on there. I think Dan's it's slightly weighted.

848
00:35:08,668 --> 00:35:10,708
Speaker 6: It's a little weighted toward the front. There's a lot

849
00:35:10,748 --> 00:35:12,348
Speaker 6: of urgency for a lot of different teams.

850
00:35:12,628 --> 00:35:14,668
Speaker 4: It's almost like they're comfortable with the panic meter, right,

851
00:35:14,708 --> 00:35:16,548
Speaker 4: Like that's what they know a little.

852
00:35:16,628 --> 00:35:19,628
Speaker 6: With Jerry Jones too, his philosophy has always been like

853
00:35:20,028 --> 00:35:23,388
Speaker 6: all publicity is good. Just had people talking about us,

854
00:35:23,468 --> 00:35:25,308
Speaker 6: that's all we care about. And you do get a

855
00:35:25,348 --> 00:35:26,908
Speaker 6: fair amount of drama. But just to go back to

856
00:35:26,948 --> 00:35:29,908
Speaker 6: my original point, this is not a team that's operated like, okay,

857
00:35:29,948 --> 00:35:31,308
Speaker 6: we got to go all in. If they've gone out

858
00:35:31,348 --> 00:35:34,668
Speaker 6: and spent fifteen million dollars in DeAndre Hopkins or they

859
00:35:34,708 --> 00:35:36,828
Speaker 6: had you know, they go sign Dalvin Cook, which I

860
00:35:36,908 --> 00:35:39,308
Speaker 6: do not anticipate happening something like that, then you're going, Wow,

861
00:35:39,308 --> 00:35:42,028
Speaker 6: they're really they're really pushing all their chips in right now.

862
00:35:42,468 --> 00:35:44,428
Speaker 6: They're really kind of doubling down on the guys they've

863
00:35:44,468 --> 00:35:46,068
Speaker 6: got in house. They made a couple of you know,

864
00:35:46,228 --> 00:35:48,748
Speaker 6: late round pick type trades to bring in a couple

865
00:35:48,788 --> 00:35:51,308
Speaker 6: of veterans, but it's as a draft and develop program.

866
00:35:51,388 --> 00:35:52,868
Speaker 6: They think that they've got this thing set up that

867
00:35:52,948 --> 00:35:55,308
Speaker 6: they can be competing the next five to ten years.

868
00:35:55,388 --> 00:35:57,708
Speaker 6: But you know, to go back to your point, if

869
00:35:57,748 --> 00:35:59,628
Speaker 6: they don't win now, if they don't win immediately, if

870
00:35:59,628 --> 00:36:02,188
Speaker 6: they don't win early, all those questions are going to

871
00:36:02,228 --> 00:36:03,868
Speaker 6: be swirling, even if they're maybe a little bit more

872
00:36:03,908 --> 00:36:04,748
Speaker 6: hardened to them, those things.

873
00:36:04,788 --> 00:36:07,068
Speaker 8: And we're going to see Week one, the very first game,

874
00:36:07,268 --> 00:36:09,028
Speaker 8: just a couple of miles from here at Medlife Sunday

875
00:36:09,068 --> 00:36:11,428
Speaker 8: Night football against the Giants. That's gonna be. That's gonna

876
00:36:11,428 --> 00:36:14,148
Speaker 8: be the start of the season. And then Jockey, that's

877
00:36:14,188 --> 00:36:15,668
Speaker 8: how the that's how the whole season going to go

878
00:36:15,708 --> 00:36:16,508
Speaker 8: based on that one game.

879
00:36:16,548 --> 00:36:17,108
Speaker 5: You know how it is.
