This is awesome to be with you guys again. 13 00:01:06,548 --> 00:01:09,908 Speaker 1: Had a little bit of a crisis this morning. Crisis, 14 00:01:10,148 --> 00:01:14,868 Speaker 1: yes that's understated. Yes, because our wonderful, our wonderful makeup 15 00:01:14,988 --> 00:01:17,748 Speaker 1: artist was not here. So it was a bunch of 16 00:01:17,748 --> 00:01:21,828 Speaker 1: guys scrambling around trying to treat their faces like scantron ovals, 17 00:01:22,108 --> 00:01:23,748 Speaker 1: and we were trying to figure out what we were 18 00:01:23,788 --> 00:01:27,508 Speaker 1: doing right. It was a little panic, but you don't really, 19 00:01:27,548 --> 00:01:30,148 Speaker 1: ever really panic when you know you're in control your 20 00:01:30,148 --> 00:01:33,308 Speaker 1: own reality except for you I didn't pan it. I 21 00:01:33,348 --> 00:01:37,348 Speaker 1: did not pan it. I did say this is an issue. 22 00:01:37,708 --> 00:01:39,788 Speaker 1: You know, I got a little anxiety, just a little bit, 23 00:01:39,788 --> 00:01:41,828 Speaker 1: all right, all right, but either way, we're here, we 24 00:01:41,948 --> 00:01:44,748 Speaker 1: got our makeup on, We're ready to go. Stanley Tucci 25 00:01:44,828 --> 00:01:51,028 Speaker 1: want to tell them it's time, very understooding, time for 26 00:01:51,108 --> 00:01:55,628 Speaker 1: the There we go right on, que These guys are 27 00:01:56,028 --> 00:01:58,988 Speaker 1: one of those eight teams who have their rookies reporting 28 00:01:58,988 --> 00:02:02,228 Speaker 1: today and when the veterans report next week. We got 29 00:02:02,228 --> 00:02:06,188 Speaker 1: to believe plenty of attention we paid to Daniel Jones 30 00:02:06,468 --> 00:02:09,028 Speaker 1: back in April, Giants decided not to pick up Jones. 31 00:02:09,228 --> 00:02:12,508 Speaker 1: It's your option, So is the definition of a prove 32 00:02:12,588 --> 00:02:16,428 Speaker 1: it here in New York. As their social media team 33 00:02:16,468 --> 00:02:19,708 Speaker 1: pointed out this weekend, there are just eight more Sundays 34 00:02:20,028 --> 00:02:23,588 Speaker 1: until the g men suit up in week one. So 35 00:02:24,188 --> 00:02:28,028 Speaker 1: when number eight takes the field this season, how can 36 00:02:28,268 --> 00:02:32,468 Speaker 1: Daniel Jones become the quarterback of the future? Four the 37 00:02:32,548 --> 00:02:36,148 Speaker 1: New York Giants, Mike Geefs start with you with your 38 00:02:36,188 --> 00:02:37,868 Speaker 1: glasses on, how about a little bit of how about 39 00:02:37,868 --> 00:02:39,948 Speaker 1: a little bit of swag? Right? And that's I think 40 00:02:39,988 --> 00:02:42,188 Speaker 1: that's the word that I used talked about this last 41 00:02:42,268 --> 00:02:43,668 Speaker 1: night we were kicking around, So I want to see 42 00:02:43,668 --> 00:02:45,788 Speaker 1: a little bit of I believe so, and if I 43 00:02:45,868 --> 00:02:49,108 Speaker 1: did swagon Daniel Jones, that's what I'm saying. Those words 44 00:02:49,188 --> 00:02:51,428 Speaker 1: don't go on the same sentence. Yeah, I'm so glad 45 00:02:51,468 --> 00:02:53,908 Speaker 1: that you're saying this, because maybe I was channeling something 46 00:02:53,948 --> 00:02:56,628 Speaker 1: that I happened to read years ago and just was 47 00:02:56,748 --> 00:02:59,028 Speaker 1: in the back of my mind, and maybe I thought 48 00:02:59,028 --> 00:03:01,868 Speaker 1: he's capable of swag. Because this is a story from 49 00:03:01,908 --> 00:03:04,148 Speaker 1: when he first got the starting job with the Giants, 50 00:03:04,548 --> 00:03:06,708 Speaker 1: written by Dan Duggan, who then was at the Athletic. 51 00:03:07,228 --> 00:03:09,828 Speaker 1: It was a quote from Daniel Jones high school coach 52 00:03:10,068 --> 00:03:13,908 Speaker 1: playing quote. His teammates had already adopted the nickname Sway 53 00:03:14,668 --> 00:03:19,388 Speaker 1: for this skinny ass little sophomore. Can I say that, Well, 54 00:03:19,388 --> 00:03:23,108 Speaker 1: I got more because because he has big cohunas, he 55 00:03:23,148 --> 00:03:25,068 Speaker 1: didn't give a hoot about if he threw a bad 56 00:03:25,108 --> 00:03:26,628 Speaker 1: pass or if he got knocked on his ass. He 57 00:03:26,708 --> 00:03:30,948 Speaker 1: just got up and went about his business. Now, Daniel 58 00:03:31,028 --> 00:03:33,148 Speaker 1: Jones does have some resiliency. We've seen it. He's been 59 00:03:33,188 --> 00:03:36,388 Speaker 1: behind a horrendous offensive line. Yep, he's been hit. Remember 60 00:03:36,428 --> 00:03:38,748 Speaker 1: one game, yet his face mask was was jammed up. 61 00:03:39,068 --> 00:03:40,588 Speaker 1: It was the that's got pushed up because he got 62 00:03:40,668 --> 00:03:42,108 Speaker 1: hit so hard that this got knocked down. He had 63 00:03:42,148 --> 00:03:44,068 Speaker 1: this little thing he get said, didn't kept on playing. 64 00:03:44,228 --> 00:03:46,628 Speaker 1: I have no questions about that part. What I need 65 00:03:46,668 --> 00:03:49,388 Speaker 1: to see is the swag is to get out there 66 00:03:49,588 --> 00:03:52,508 Speaker 1: and play like Josh Allen plays. I'm sorry I made 67 00:03:52,508 --> 00:03:56,108 Speaker 1: that comparison. I'm not gonna be the last because you've 68 00:03:56,148 --> 00:03:58,108 Speaker 1: got this coaching staff that got the best out of 69 00:03:58,228 --> 00:04:02,068 Speaker 1: Josh Allen now coming down trying to John had the tools, though, 70 00:04:02,468 --> 00:04:05,268 Speaker 1: you gotta fire it up. I had the tool You 71 00:04:05,388 --> 00:04:07,548 Speaker 1: understand that. But Josh Allen plays with a little bit 72 00:04:07,588 --> 00:04:10,068 Speaker 1: as wife, which is why Brian Daball and this coaching 73 00:04:10,108 --> 00:04:12,668 Speaker 1: staff came down here this spring and said to Daniel Jones, 74 00:04:12,908 --> 00:04:17,268 Speaker 1: it's okay to throw interceptions in OTAs it's not a game. 75 00:04:17,548 --> 00:04:19,388 Speaker 1: We want you to also have that mentality a little 76 00:04:19,388 --> 00:04:21,668 Speaker 1: bit in the game. But start practicing it now. Start 77 00:04:21,748 --> 00:04:25,668 Speaker 1: going out there and playing with confidence, not cockiness. Start 78 00:04:25,668 --> 00:04:28,988 Speaker 1: playing with confidence. That is how no. No, I m 79 00:04:29,148 --> 00:04:31,788 Speaker 1: sit right in the middle of confidence and it does. Yeah, 80 00:04:32,028 --> 00:04:36,108 Speaker 1: so it's at the fifty yard line and cockiness that's 81 00:04:36,108 --> 00:04:39,708 Speaker 1: where it is. James Palmer Thank you for identifying. The 82 00:04:39,788 --> 00:04:41,708 Speaker 1: question is not to me is it going to happen? 83 00:04:41,748 --> 00:04:43,868 Speaker 1: The question is how is it going to happen? And 84 00:04:43,908 --> 00:04:45,828 Speaker 1: if it's going to happen, that's how it's going to happen. 85 00:04:45,908 --> 00:04:49,788 Speaker 1: You're rebuttal microL Well we go. You're saying, Okay, Daniel Jones, 86 00:04:49,788 --> 00:04:52,348 Speaker 1: don't be afraid to go through picks. He hadn't been 87 00:04:52,348 --> 00:04:54,428 Speaker 1: afraid to go through picks. He has thirty of them, 88 00:04:55,028 --> 00:04:57,988 Speaker 1: you know, thirty twenty nine interceptions in the last three years. 89 00:04:58,468 --> 00:05:01,268 Speaker 1: Thirty six funnels to me it's the bad plays jeezy, 90 00:05:01,348 --> 00:05:04,828 Speaker 1: and sometimes it's not the other team forcing them. Sometimes 91 00:05:04,828 --> 00:05:07,628 Speaker 1: this Daniel Jones just holding onto the football. Now, yes, 92 00:05:07,788 --> 00:05:09,948 Speaker 1: he was behind a bad offensive line. I can't sit 93 00:05:09,988 --> 00:05:13,228 Speaker 1: here and say that he wasn't. But when you're drafted 94 00:05:13,268 --> 00:05:16,308 Speaker 1: six overall, you're drafted. You're drafted to overcome some of 95 00:05:16,308 --> 00:05:19,428 Speaker 1: that inequities. You're drafted to to be able to make 96 00:05:19,468 --> 00:05:21,708 Speaker 1: guys around you better. Let me ask you all you 97 00:05:21,708 --> 00:05:25,548 Speaker 1: guys a question. Have we ever seen Daniel Jones say, 98 00:05:25,668 --> 00:05:28,428 Speaker 1: all right, team jump on my back, we're gonna go 99 00:05:28,468 --> 00:05:31,508 Speaker 1: win this game. Basically every first game he ever played 100 00:05:31,548 --> 00:05:34,468 Speaker 1: since then, not a whole. Yeah, I was New Orleans 101 00:05:34,508 --> 00:05:37,348 Speaker 1: last year. That kind of happened. It kind of happened. Okay, 102 00:05:37,388 --> 00:05:42,948 Speaker 1: maybe once, maybe once twice, once or twice. Thank you. 103 00:05:43,428 --> 00:05:45,908 Speaker 1: Come on, man, I'm sorry. When you're drafted that high, 104 00:05:46,388 --> 00:05:49,508 Speaker 1: you have those expectations. Don't show that footage. Okay, you 105 00:05:49,628 --> 00:05:53,748 Speaker 1: drafted that high, you have those those expectations. Um, I 106 00:05:53,788 --> 00:05:56,908 Speaker 1: think you should have you should have played better so far. 107 00:05:57,108 --> 00:05:59,588 Speaker 1: Daniel Jones. I don't think Daniel Jones will be a 108 00:05:59,668 --> 00:06:02,068 Speaker 1: quarterback for this team. I think he is not the future. 109 00:06:02,308 --> 00:06:05,668 Speaker 1: I think before it's all saying, then who's the backup Taylor? 110 00:06:05,988 --> 00:06:07,788 Speaker 1: He's back up. I think before the end of the season, 111 00:06:07,788 --> 00:06:10,748 Speaker 1: we'll see Tyrod Taylor. Okay, all right, Well, it's tough 112 00:06:10,748 --> 00:06:12,388 Speaker 1: to be the creature if you're not playing in the present. 113 00:06:12,428 --> 00:06:15,068 Speaker 1: I'll tell you that. Yeah, well, listen, I want to 114 00:06:15,108 --> 00:06:17,188 Speaker 1: kind of piggyback on what Mike was saying a little bit. 115 00:06:17,268 --> 00:06:19,348 Speaker 1: Is you go and look at the way he has played, 116 00:06:19,628 --> 00:06:21,708 Speaker 1: and you look at that first season he throws twenty 117 00:06:21,708 --> 00:06:25,548 Speaker 1: four touchdowns, and then what comes in it's, hey, don't 118 00:06:25,588 --> 00:06:27,508 Speaker 1: turn the football over over the next two years, don't 119 00:06:27,508 --> 00:06:30,108 Speaker 1: make a mistake. Well, the difference when you look at 120 00:06:30,108 --> 00:06:32,188 Speaker 1: it is like when he got more conservative and he 121 00:06:32,228 --> 00:06:35,028 Speaker 1: throws eleven touchdowns and then ten touchdowns in each of 122 00:06:35,068 --> 00:06:37,988 Speaker 1: the last two years. The completion percentage went up just 123 00:06:38,068 --> 00:06:40,708 Speaker 1: a little, the picks stayed kind of the same, went 124 00:06:40,748 --> 00:06:43,748 Speaker 1: down a little. So be more aggressive, go push the 125 00:06:43,748 --> 00:06:47,308 Speaker 1: football downfield. And you mentioned Brian Dabole and the impact 126 00:06:47,388 --> 00:06:49,748 Speaker 1: he can have. I look at Mike Kafka coming in 127 00:06:49,828 --> 00:06:51,908 Speaker 1: and the impact he can have to as well, because 128 00:06:52,508 --> 00:06:54,388 Speaker 1: you look at where he comes from and the offensive 129 00:06:54,388 --> 00:06:56,428 Speaker 1: mind he's been within Andy Reid. And he made a 130 00:06:56,468 --> 00:06:59,268 Speaker 1: point this offseason Kafka to say, you know, the biggest 131 00:06:59,268 --> 00:07:00,988 Speaker 1: thing I learned from Andy is always make sure you 132 00:07:01,028 --> 00:07:04,748 Speaker 1: have explosive plays. Enough explosive plays each week that a 133 00:07:04,828 --> 00:07:08,468 Speaker 1: defense hasn't prepared for enough motions, enough shifts, enough formations 134 00:07:08,508 --> 00:07:10,268 Speaker 1: that they haven't seen to catch them at least a 135 00:07:10,268 --> 00:07:12,908 Speaker 1: few times where you have a distinct advantage to make 136 00:07:12,948 --> 00:07:15,308 Speaker 1: explosive place. That's where you need to see Daniel Jones 137 00:07:15,308 --> 00:07:16,468 Speaker 1: go out and put some points on the board. I 138 00:07:16,508 --> 00:07:18,948 Speaker 1: mean they average about fifteen points a game. Last year, 139 00:07:19,188 --> 00:07:24,268 Speaker 1: thirty first Elague had ten fifteen point teams whopping fifteen 140 00:07:24,308 --> 00:07:26,908 Speaker 1: head points. They had six games where they scored ten 141 00:07:27,068 --> 00:07:30,508 Speaker 1: or fewer points. I mean like that, that's that's embarrably 142 00:07:30,508 --> 00:07:32,748 Speaker 1: And listen, he works hard, he's smart. I think those 143 00:07:32,748 --> 00:07:35,468 Speaker 1: things haven't really been questioned. We know the offensive line 144 00:07:35,508 --> 00:07:37,988 Speaker 1: aspect of go out and play. What do you have 145 00:07:38,068 --> 00:07:41,188 Speaker 1: to lose right now? If you're Daniel Jones, exactly what 146 00:07:41,228 --> 00:07:44,628 Speaker 1: you're saying being replaced by Tyrod Ta, that's what you 147 00:07:44,708 --> 00:07:47,908 Speaker 1: got has of right now where we're at. Just go 148 00:07:47,948 --> 00:07:49,468 Speaker 1: out and do it. I think that's what you have 149 00:07:49,548 --> 00:07:51,788 Speaker 1: to do. For me. It's like putting on the hand 150 00:07:51,868 --> 00:07:53,908 Speaker 1: sanitizer and then you realize you have a cut on 151 00:07:53,948 --> 00:07:57,188 Speaker 1: your hand right, stings right, bards And I feel like, 152 00:07:57,268 --> 00:07:59,908 Speaker 1: Daniel Jones, is that cut on your hands right where 153 00:07:59,948 --> 00:08:04,628 Speaker 1: you're like sting? Yes, wins a little bit right? Makes 154 00:08:04,668 --> 00:08:07,468 Speaker 1: you like the cold you come up with right just now? 155 00:08:07,508 --> 00:08:13,988 Speaker 1: I don't know why I think where her right right here? 156 00:08:13,988 --> 00:08:17,268 Speaker 1: As a matter of fact, right right there? Yeah? So 157 00:08:17,388 --> 00:08:20,508 Speaker 1: I either way, UM, this this keeps popping up. We 158 00:08:20,548 --> 00:08:23,388 Speaker 1: have this discussion a lot, obviously, but I will tell 159 00:08:23,428 --> 00:08:26,388 Speaker 1: you the aspect I am excited about and Amrod backed 160 00:08:26,428 --> 00:08:28,668 Speaker 1: me up on this year. Big Brian Dabele guy, I'm 161 00:08:28,668 --> 00:08:33,028 Speaker 1: actually excited to see what Brian Dabele does with Daniel Jones. 162 00:08:33,068 --> 00:08:37,948 Speaker 1: I mean, he has been obviously so great with Josh Allen, 163 00:08:38,228 --> 00:08:42,788 Speaker 1: and it's about time now that Dale Jones has somebody 164 00:08:42,828 --> 00:08:45,748 Speaker 1: who is a cutting edge offensive mind at the Helm. 165 00:08:45,788 --> 00:08:48,428 Speaker 1: He does not have a Joe Judge, doesn't have a 166 00:08:48,588 --> 00:08:50,868 Speaker 1: Jason Garrett, and I just feel like Dabel is going 167 00:08:50,908 --> 00:08:55,148 Speaker 1: to put him and this intriguing collection of skilled players 168 00:08:55,428 --> 00:08:58,308 Speaker 1: in a position to potentially succeed that. We showed the 169 00:08:58,428 --> 00:09:03,348 Speaker 1: video of him performing against the Saints and actually did well. Okay, 170 00:09:03,388 --> 00:09:06,148 Speaker 1: he actually did well for him and his standards obviously, 171 00:09:06,188 --> 00:09:09,588 Speaker 1: then the neck injury really derailed things. Um, And it's 172 00:09:09,628 --> 00:09:13,068 Speaker 1: also tough to really have confidence in his supporting cast 173 00:09:13,148 --> 00:09:15,948 Speaker 1: when they're not there, or if they are there, they're 174 00:09:15,988 --> 00:09:20,508 Speaker 1: not healthy and productive. Throw football. No, he can't, I can't. 175 00:09:20,788 --> 00:09:24,588 Speaker 1: He can't get the ball. Last chance. If you're gonna 176 00:09:24,628 --> 00:09:27,628 Speaker 1: have one last chance, wouldn't you want him to be 177 00:09:27,708 --> 00:09:31,428 Speaker 1: the guy to go and help you. But here's here's 178 00:09:31,588 --> 00:09:33,748 Speaker 1: here's the deal. Will Like, Yeah, we're all bringing up 179 00:09:33,748 --> 00:09:36,028 Speaker 1: that Saints gaming. Yes, he played very well. It awarded 180 00:09:36,108 --> 00:09:39,748 Speaker 1: him a postgame interview with James Palmer. Yeah, but what 181 00:09:40,068 --> 00:09:43,708 Speaker 1: what I'm curious about is if he makes a substantial 182 00:09:43,788 --> 00:09:46,508 Speaker 1: jump this season, And Rom and I were talking about 183 00:09:46,548 --> 00:09:50,428 Speaker 1: this while we were doing our makeup, no big deal spot, 184 00:09:52,028 --> 00:09:54,988 Speaker 1: what does he get? To Ryan Tannehill Like, if he 185 00:09:55,028 --> 00:09:56,508 Speaker 1: makes a big jump, where does he and then what 186 00:09:56,588 --> 00:09:58,388 Speaker 1: do you do in terms of what do you pay him? 187 00:09:58,388 --> 00:10:01,068 Speaker 1: And where? What spot are the giants in? So, Mike, 188 00:10:01,188 --> 00:10:03,428 Speaker 1: you're here, you cover the giant? What what position would 189 00:10:03,468 --> 00:10:04,988 Speaker 1: you put him in? And and if he makes a 190 00:10:05,068 --> 00:10:07,188 Speaker 1: big jump, where does that put up? Like cart in 191 00:10:08,068 --> 00:10:13,628 Speaker 1: Jimmy Garoppolo turns this regime when you come in and 192 00:10:13,628 --> 00:10:17,028 Speaker 1: you're a new regime. Right, this is happening with the Bears. 193 00:10:17,148 --> 00:10:19,908 Speaker 1: Everybody's saying, is this regime gonna stick with Justin Fields 194 00:10:19,908 --> 00:10:21,988 Speaker 1: for the long hall? They don't know. They'd love to 195 00:10:22,148 --> 00:10:24,948 Speaker 1: not have to go out and find themselves a quarterback 196 00:10:25,028 --> 00:10:27,668 Speaker 1: if there's one already there for them, ready made. But 197 00:10:27,708 --> 00:10:30,388 Speaker 1: they're not married to this guy, right, They're not the 198 00:10:30,428 --> 00:10:32,788 Speaker 1: ones that chose him. They're not the ones that took 199 00:10:32,828 --> 00:10:34,828 Speaker 1: him sixth overall when a bunch of teams out taking 200 00:10:34,908 --> 00:10:38,268 Speaker 1: them there. So if he steps up and he plays them. 201 00:10:38,348 --> 00:10:40,468 Speaker 1: We'll make that decision after this year. But right now 202 00:10:40,468 --> 00:10:42,868 Speaker 1: it's kind of all house money as far as they're concerned, 203 00:10:42,868 --> 00:10:45,388 Speaker 1: because they've been given a chance to kind of reset 204 00:10:45,468 --> 00:10:47,148 Speaker 1: things here and do them the way that they want 205 00:10:47,148 --> 00:10:49,188 Speaker 1: to do them. And if Daniel Jones can do that, 206 00:10:49,188 --> 00:10:51,788 Speaker 1: that's great. I just don't And I know we're on TV. 207 00:10:52,028 --> 00:10:54,068 Speaker 1: We're supposed to have opinions, right it's a post to 208 00:10:54,108 --> 00:10:56,828 Speaker 1: know everything. I just don't know how you know what 209 00:10:56,948 --> 00:11:01,188 Speaker 1: Daniel Jones is, having had so much coaching turnover to 210 00:11:01,228 --> 00:11:03,468 Speaker 1: this point in his career, and the fact that he 211 00:11:03,468 --> 00:11:05,108 Speaker 1: gets to the top of the There was a playwe 212 00:11:05,228 --> 00:11:07,228 Speaker 1: showed it was against the Cowboys. He actually completed it. 213 00:11:07,268 --> 00:11:09,188 Speaker 1: But the point I'm making is he would get to 214 00:11:09,228 --> 00:11:11,308 Speaker 1: the top of his drop and all of a sudden 215 00:11:11,308 --> 00:11:13,788 Speaker 1: there's two three rushers in his face and he's moving 216 00:11:13,948 --> 00:11:16,228 Speaker 1: without even getting the chance to sit there and read 217 00:11:16,268 --> 00:11:17,828 Speaker 1: things in front of him. It's been that way for 218 00:11:17,868 --> 00:11:19,988 Speaker 1: a couple of years. We shall say that's true, but 219 00:11:20,148 --> 00:11:22,828 Speaker 1: I mean, at some point you have to see the 220 00:11:22,868 --> 00:11:26,948 Speaker 1: talent show up. You have to see the fact that 221 00:11:27,148 --> 00:11:29,668 Speaker 1: again he can wield his team to wins. I just 222 00:11:29,668 --> 00:11:31,988 Speaker 1: haven't seen it. Jeez, I'm sorry. When you when you 223 00:11:32,068 --> 00:11:35,148 Speaker 1: pick that high overall, you expect it to see it, 224 00:11:35,228 --> 00:11:36,828 Speaker 1: even even if it's just a little bit, even if 225 00:11:36,828 --> 00:11:38,868 Speaker 1: the team around you it isn't that good. You expect 226 00:11:38,868 --> 00:11:41,348 Speaker 1: to see it somewhere. When have we seen it? From DJ, 227 00:11:41,468 --> 00:11:43,948 Speaker 1: We just haven't seen it. I think you're giving those 228 00:11:43,948 --> 00:11:46,348 Speaker 1: sun or those glasses a little bit of a workout there. 229 00:11:46,508 --> 00:11:50,548 Speaker 1: I mean you're you know, you take them off. I'm 230 00:11:50,548 --> 00:11:59,828 Speaker 1: getting a little heated. Which when's your wife? Then I 231 00:11:59,828 --> 00:12:05,308 Speaker 1: can't see it? Discussion looking with us for three hours? Yeah, 232 00:12:05,988 --> 00:12:12,868 Speaker 1: I'm talking about with Trey Lance is expected to be 233 00:12:12,988 --> 00:12:15,748 Speaker 1: under center in San Francisco. Forty nine Ers All Pro 234 00:12:15,908 --> 00:12:18,588 Speaker 1: linebacker and friend of the show Fred Warner went on 235 00:12:18,628 --> 00:12:21,908 Speaker 1: The Rich Eisen Show yesterday and spoke about his young QB. 236 00:12:22,068 --> 00:12:25,188 Speaker 1: Take a listen, trade, continue to work hard, and that's 237 00:12:25,268 --> 00:12:28,188 Speaker 1: kind of how you that's how you build respect amongst 238 00:12:28,228 --> 00:12:30,708 Speaker 1: your teammates and your peers, you know, by is by 239 00:12:30,748 --> 00:12:32,548 Speaker 1: putting in the work day in and day out, and 240 00:12:32,628 --> 00:12:36,268 Speaker 1: guys seeing that um, you know, and seeing that confidence 241 00:12:36,268 --> 00:12:39,188 Speaker 1: build within him going into his second year, you know, 242 00:12:39,268 --> 00:12:43,948 Speaker 1: being out there during OTA workouts and practices and um, 243 00:12:44,108 --> 00:12:46,108 Speaker 1: you know, continuing to do that in training camp, like 244 00:12:46,148 --> 00:12:48,708 Speaker 1: I know he will, so he for sure has the 245 00:12:48,748 --> 00:12:51,948 Speaker 1: respect amongst his teammates. Yeah, I know that he is, 246 00:12:52,468 --> 00:12:57,108 Speaker 1: for sure if given the reins that he's ready for it. Um, 247 00:12:57,108 --> 00:13:01,188 Speaker 1: he's very professional and mature and ready for whatever he's given. 248 00:13:04,108 --> 00:13:07,268 Speaker 1: All right, So Warner sounds pretty convinced he is ready. 249 00:13:07,388 --> 00:13:11,228 Speaker 1: But what are your expectations for Trey Lance this season? 250 00:13:11,428 --> 00:13:14,428 Speaker 1: And by the way, James, we hear from Fred Warner, 251 00:13:14,468 --> 00:13:16,388 Speaker 1: and obviously people are gonna say, like, well, was he 252 00:13:16,428 --> 00:13:19,708 Speaker 1: supposed to say he's supporting his teammate. Well, yeah, he's 253 00:13:19,708 --> 00:13:22,668 Speaker 1: supporting his teammate, but he's also seeing him up close. 254 00:13:23,068 --> 00:13:26,588 Speaker 1: They're in practice where we can't. So if he's supporting 255 00:13:26,628 --> 00:13:29,788 Speaker 1: him and he's talking about him and going to battle 256 00:13:29,788 --> 00:13:32,828 Speaker 1: with him, he obviously seems to be like he's convinced 257 00:13:32,828 --> 00:13:35,428 Speaker 1: and thanks that Trey Lance is ready for the next step. Yeah. 258 00:13:35,588 --> 00:13:37,348 Speaker 1: First off, a little I don't appreciate you dumbing down 259 00:13:37,388 --> 00:13:40,708 Speaker 1: our audience. I mean, we haven't intellectual people that watch 260 00:13:40,788 --> 00:13:45,188 Speaker 1: the show, James. For you, that's all you're in my 261 00:13:45,228 --> 00:13:51,908 Speaker 1: line of vision, is okay? Well, it's kind of funny 262 00:13:51,908 --> 00:13:53,388 Speaker 1: you say that because I wasn't really listening to a 263 00:13:53,428 --> 00:13:56,308 Speaker 1: word Fred Warner was saying. I was watching the highlights 264 00:13:56,388 --> 00:13:59,188 Speaker 1: of Trey Lance there and what I was watching were 265 00:13:59,228 --> 00:14:03,228 Speaker 1: a variety of receivers that were running wide open. And 266 00:14:03,308 --> 00:14:06,508 Speaker 1: that's what needs to happen, and that's what Kyle Shanahan does. 267 00:14:06,668 --> 00:14:10,268 Speaker 1: And they believe that the strength of Trey Lance is 268 00:14:10,628 --> 00:14:13,148 Speaker 1: knowing where to go with the football. Maybe the accuracy 269 00:14:13,148 --> 00:14:15,668 Speaker 1: part is something that is not the biggest strength right 270 00:14:15,668 --> 00:14:17,348 Speaker 1: now and will come. But if he knows where he's 271 00:14:17,348 --> 00:14:19,628 Speaker 1: going with the football, and he knows who's going to 272 00:14:19,628 --> 00:14:22,148 Speaker 1: be open, and Kyle Shanahan helps him in that process, 273 00:14:22,308 --> 00:14:24,188 Speaker 1: and that player is wide open and he gets to 274 00:14:24,228 --> 00:14:26,388 Speaker 1: make that throw in space which we saw during that 275 00:14:26,468 --> 00:14:28,388 Speaker 1: highlight reels, well might as well just run it again 276 00:14:28,428 --> 00:14:32,148 Speaker 1: actually right now over if you guys can about all 277 00:14:32,188 --> 00:14:34,948 Speaker 1: of these spots where he is playing out in space 278 00:14:35,028 --> 00:14:38,028 Speaker 1: and rob where he gets an easy throw in some capacity, 279 00:14:38,028 --> 00:14:40,268 Speaker 1: it's what this offense does. And you look at the 280 00:14:40,308 --> 00:14:42,388 Speaker 1: receivers that he's going to be throwing the football too. 281 00:14:42,468 --> 00:14:45,708 Speaker 1: These are big body guys. When you look at George Kittle, 282 00:14:45,748 --> 00:14:48,508 Speaker 1: you look at Deebo Samuel, you look at obviously Brandon 283 00:14:48,748 --> 00:14:50,708 Speaker 1: not the biggest. At the same time, you have guys 284 00:14:50,748 --> 00:14:52,988 Speaker 1: that can find space, guys that can do that, and 285 00:14:53,028 --> 00:14:55,428 Speaker 1: at the same time you have the ability to run 286 00:14:55,508 --> 00:14:59,188 Speaker 1: the football. That's an added aspect of how you ease 287 00:14:59,228 --> 00:15:02,908 Speaker 1: a quarterback in specifically a young quarterback. You find ways 288 00:15:02,948 --> 00:15:05,908 Speaker 1: to run the football. And I think it did benefit 289 00:15:05,988 --> 00:15:09,508 Speaker 1: him greatly to sit for a year and watch this system. 290 00:15:09,828 --> 00:15:12,828 Speaker 1: I'm not calling him Patrick Mahomes, but that's what Patrick 291 00:15:12,908 --> 00:15:15,388 Speaker 1: Mahomes did for a year. He played that last game 292 00:15:15,428 --> 00:15:18,228 Speaker 1: in Denver of the season and it was his thing 293 00:15:18,268 --> 00:15:20,908 Speaker 1: to run, but he watched Alex Smith work it for 294 00:15:20,988 --> 00:15:24,908 Speaker 1: a year and now am Rob. I think everything that's 295 00:15:24,948 --> 00:15:29,388 Speaker 1: around him. You're we talk about environment so frequently in 296 00:15:29,428 --> 00:15:33,748 Speaker 1: your situation. It fits the early portion of a young 297 00:15:33,828 --> 00:15:36,028 Speaker 1: quarterbacks career. When you have a play caller like Kyle 298 00:15:36,028 --> 00:15:38,628 Speaker 1: Shanahan and the pieces of forty nine ers, absolutely, and 299 00:15:38,988 --> 00:15:41,228 Speaker 1: when you have that run game, when you can just 300 00:15:41,548 --> 00:15:43,788 Speaker 1: when there's third and three, third and four, you can 301 00:15:43,788 --> 00:15:46,308 Speaker 1: turn around hand and football off and get the first down. 302 00:15:46,348 --> 00:15:49,108 Speaker 1: That's extremely powerful for a young quarterback. And you talked 303 00:15:49,108 --> 00:15:52,548 Speaker 1: about it, James, this Kyle Shanahan style of an offense. 304 00:15:52,828 --> 00:15:55,748 Speaker 1: It predicates itself off of play action right, running a 305 00:15:55,788 --> 00:15:58,908 Speaker 1: football play action and being explosive in the passing game. 306 00:15:59,068 --> 00:16:01,988 Speaker 1: But I will say this, there's a tremendous amount of 307 00:16:02,028 --> 00:16:04,908 Speaker 1: pressure on Trey Lands. I think this is very unique 308 00:16:04,948 --> 00:16:09,148 Speaker 1: situation because Jimmy G was beloved in that locker room. 309 00:16:09,428 --> 00:16:11,908 Speaker 1: Every guy, every guy you talked to in that locker room, 310 00:16:11,948 --> 00:16:14,028 Speaker 1: they talked about how Jimmy G when he stepped on 311 00:16:14,068 --> 00:16:16,388 Speaker 1: the field, the confidence he brings in the rest of 312 00:16:16,428 --> 00:16:19,228 Speaker 1: the team, and Jimmy took this team to a super Bowl. 313 00:16:19,628 --> 00:16:22,828 Speaker 1: Whenever Jimmy was healthy, you know, he bawled out and 314 00:16:23,308 --> 00:16:27,308 Speaker 1: this team, this offense looked very competent. Well before Trey 315 00:16:27,388 --> 00:16:29,548 Speaker 1: Lance even really has had any his success in the 316 00:16:29,628 --> 00:16:31,988 Speaker 1: National Football League, they've already said you're gonna be the 317 00:16:32,068 --> 00:16:35,348 Speaker 1: guy and we're gonna move on from Jimmy G. That's 318 00:16:35,348 --> 00:16:37,268 Speaker 1: where to me, that's why how the pressure comes from. 319 00:16:37,268 --> 00:16:40,828 Speaker 1: That's why you see his teammates. Whenever you see guys 320 00:16:40,828 --> 00:16:44,188 Speaker 1: like Fred Water do interviews, you have to speak glowingly 321 00:16:44,548 --> 00:16:46,548 Speaker 1: of this kid, Trey Lance. You have to make sure 322 00:16:46,588 --> 00:16:48,948 Speaker 1: he has the confidence to go out there and leave 323 00:16:49,028 --> 00:16:51,868 Speaker 1: this football team because again, the guy you're moving on 324 00:16:52,028 --> 00:16:55,708 Speaker 1: from got you to a super Bowl, he didn't win it. 325 00:16:55,908 --> 00:16:57,588 Speaker 1: He didn't win it, and yet maybe you could make 326 00:16:57,628 --> 00:17:00,828 Speaker 1: an argument I could that Trey Lance his skill set 327 00:17:01,148 --> 00:17:03,388 Speaker 1: would have gotten the forty nine ers over the hump, 328 00:17:03,548 --> 00:17:06,588 Speaker 1: that his skill set would have gotten Kyle Shannah and individually, 329 00:17:06,788 --> 00:17:09,028 Speaker 1: from a play caller standpoint, over the hunt. We all 330 00:17:09,028 --> 00:17:13,388 Speaker 1: remember that twenty eight three when they were up again 331 00:17:13,388 --> 00:17:15,148 Speaker 1: when he was a play caller for the Atlanta Falcons 332 00:17:15,188 --> 00:17:17,508 Speaker 1: and they blew that Super Bowl right, And then when 333 00:17:17,508 --> 00:17:19,668 Speaker 1: you look at that Super Bowl that they did make 334 00:17:19,668 --> 00:17:21,788 Speaker 1: a two, that Fortyninners did make it two against the 335 00:17:21,828 --> 00:17:24,028 Speaker 1: Kansas City Chiefs, I could argue that he blew that 336 00:17:24,148 --> 00:17:26,468 Speaker 1: from a play caller standpoint, not running the football in 337 00:17:26,468 --> 00:17:29,668 Speaker 1: the second half. So there's a tremendous amount of pressure 338 00:17:29,668 --> 00:17:32,388 Speaker 1: on Trey Lance. I think everybody on the team, whether 339 00:17:32,428 --> 00:17:34,348 Speaker 1: when they do their media, they have to make sure 340 00:17:34,388 --> 00:17:36,108 Speaker 1: that this kid has the confidence they have to talk 341 00:17:36,188 --> 00:17:39,068 Speaker 1: him up. But it's gonna be very interesting if we 342 00:17:39,108 --> 00:17:42,308 Speaker 1: get around week nine or ten and Trey Lance isn't 343 00:17:42,308 --> 00:17:45,468 Speaker 1: showing what we expect him to be showing. Where does 344 00:17:45,468 --> 00:17:48,428 Speaker 1: this team go from there? Especially with Jimmy Garoppolo still 345 00:17:48,468 --> 00:17:50,668 Speaker 1: being on the roster right now. If he is, I mean, 346 00:17:50,708 --> 00:17:53,388 Speaker 1: that's you're gonna have to make a tough decision potentially 347 00:17:53,428 --> 00:17:55,708 Speaker 1: if you are the San Francisco forty nine ers, because 348 00:17:55,708 --> 00:17:58,548 Speaker 1: the thought was if Deshaun Watson gets a full season, 349 00:17:58,788 --> 00:18:01,268 Speaker 1: now the Browns are desperate to get a quarterback in 350 00:18:01,308 --> 00:18:04,188 Speaker 1: there for an entire season. If it's much shorter than that, 351 00:18:04,828 --> 00:18:07,228 Speaker 1: this is something we can make our way through. We're 352 00:18:07,228 --> 00:18:09,148 Speaker 1: not gonna trade for Jimmy Garoppolo if we know that 353 00:18:09,228 --> 00:18:11,748 Speaker 1: by week six or eight we're gonna have Deshaun Watson 354 00:18:11,748 --> 00:18:13,748 Speaker 1: back to be our quarterback. So a lot of this 355 00:18:13,868 --> 00:18:17,988 Speaker 1: still rests on what happens in that department there. But 356 00:18:18,068 --> 00:18:20,588 Speaker 1: if not, and if Cleveland's not going to be a 357 00:18:20,628 --> 00:18:22,908 Speaker 1: suitor for Jimmy g then you may have to make 358 00:18:22,948 --> 00:18:24,828 Speaker 1: the tough decision. If you're San Francisco, you may haven't 359 00:18:24,868 --> 00:18:26,868 Speaker 1: just cut him and just walk away from the contract. 360 00:18:26,988 --> 00:18:29,908 Speaker 1: Because now that twenty five million that's on the table, 361 00:18:30,188 --> 00:18:31,988 Speaker 1: if he gets to week one, that's twenty five million 362 00:18:32,028 --> 00:18:34,828 Speaker 1: becomes fully guaranteed. You can't say, well, six weeks in, 363 00:18:34,908 --> 00:18:36,708 Speaker 1: eight weeks in, then we'll walk away and and and 364 00:18:36,988 --> 00:18:38,548 Speaker 1: say good bye of the money. No, you're still gonna have. 365 00:18:38,668 --> 00:18:40,948 Speaker 1: Do you think do you think this team can walk 366 00:18:40,988 --> 00:18:44,508 Speaker 1: out Week one both quarterbacks on the roster yet Trey 367 00:18:44,628 --> 00:18:47,268 Speaker 1: Lance is the starter at Jimmy G's sitting. I think 368 00:18:47,308 --> 00:18:49,948 Speaker 1: they can. I think they prefer not to. I would 369 00:18:50,028 --> 00:18:54,268 Speaker 1: recommend that you not do that. You not playing well. 370 00:18:54,588 --> 00:18:56,348 Speaker 1: What do you think everybody's gonna be saying? What do 371 00:18:56,388 --> 00:18:58,508 Speaker 1: you think that the players in the locker room are 372 00:18:58,508 --> 00:19:00,748 Speaker 1: gonna be doing? So? I would recommend, Look, you can 373 00:19:00,828 --> 00:19:03,268 Speaker 1: make this tough decision. You could say, the guy we 374 00:19:03,348 --> 00:19:06,188 Speaker 1: have is really good, but we've got to move on 375 00:19:06,828 --> 00:19:09,228 Speaker 1: Allah Alex Smith a couple of years ago. But you 376 00:19:09,348 --> 00:19:12,028 Speaker 1: gotta make that clean break. And Kansas City did that. 377 00:19:12,628 --> 00:19:14,468 Speaker 1: It was Super Bowl week when they agreed to that 378 00:19:14,548 --> 00:19:17,228 Speaker 1: trade with Washington. That thing was done and out early, 379 00:19:17,308 --> 00:19:19,708 Speaker 1: so that Mahomes had a clear off season and a 380 00:19:19,748 --> 00:19:21,988 Speaker 1: clear start of the season as a starter. The Niners, 381 00:19:21,988 --> 00:19:24,068 Speaker 1: for various reasons, the surgery being one of them, you 382 00:19:24,148 --> 00:19:25,828 Speaker 1: have not been able to do that to this point. 383 00:19:26,028 --> 00:19:28,388 Speaker 1: I just back to the question about Trey and what 384 00:19:28,428 --> 00:19:31,508 Speaker 1: to expect. I think, up and down, no matter whether 385 00:19:31,628 --> 00:19:33,388 Speaker 1: Jimmy Garoppolo is there or not. I think it's going 386 00:19:33,428 --> 00:19:35,308 Speaker 1: to be up and down, because this is a guy 387 00:19:35,628 --> 00:19:39,028 Speaker 1: who back in college through how many interceptions Mike rab 388 00:19:39,308 --> 00:19:45,908 Speaker 1: zero one one interception of zero in the yeah, one interception. 389 00:19:46,508 --> 00:19:48,348 Speaker 1: They's already matched that in the NFL, by the way, 390 00:19:48,348 --> 00:19:51,308 Speaker 1: I think he's got one interception in the NFL. You're 391 00:19:51,348 --> 00:19:53,388 Speaker 1: gonna have to get used to adversity, and you're gonna 392 00:19:53,388 --> 00:19:55,228 Speaker 1: have to get used to adversity on a much different 393 00:19:55,348 --> 00:19:57,508 Speaker 1: level than you were used to back then in the 394 00:19:57,548 --> 00:20:00,548 Speaker 1: FCS level. So it's just it's definitely not gonna be smooth. 395 00:20:00,548 --> 00:20:03,068 Speaker 1: It'll be up and down. It's gonna be interesting. It is. 396 00:20:03,148 --> 00:20:05,388 Speaker 1: I mean, I think they're The one concern is also 397 00:20:05,428 --> 00:20:08,588 Speaker 1: the health of Trey Lance as well, because he does 398 00:20:08,668 --> 00:20:11,708 Speaker 1: have a little bit of a health history there, and 399 00:20:11,988 --> 00:20:13,708 Speaker 1: you got Nate Sudfeld in there, and you also have 400 00:20:13,748 --> 00:20:17,188 Speaker 1: mister Irrelevant backing him up, So there is that issue. 401 00:20:17,268 --> 00:20:20,108 Speaker 1: And remember that they had to deal with Nick Mullins 402 00:20:20,188 --> 00:20:24,108 Speaker 1: going in and CJ. Bethard going in, when Jimmy Garoppolo 403 00:20:24,188 --> 00:20:26,228 Speaker 1: went out. We saw how the forty nine ers played 404 00:20:26,268 --> 00:20:28,428 Speaker 1: and how the drop off was. I do think though, 405 00:20:28,428 --> 00:20:30,228 Speaker 1: with Trey Lance to what you were saying Mike g 406 00:20:30,388 --> 00:20:31,668 Speaker 1: I think we are going to see a lot of 407 00:20:31,988 --> 00:20:35,188 Speaker 1: up and down. I think he's young, he's raw, He's 408 00:20:35,188 --> 00:20:38,028 Speaker 1: still trying to get his legs under him. The small 409 00:20:38,068 --> 00:20:41,308 Speaker 1: sample size that we saw obviously was up and down, 410 00:20:41,428 --> 00:20:46,588 Speaker 1: just as we expected. But it's what he could potentially 411 00:20:46,668 --> 00:20:50,508 Speaker 1: do in this offense, though, is pretty tantalizing, to say 412 00:20:50,548 --> 00:20:53,508 Speaker 1: the least. If we go back to the preseason, if 413 00:20:53,508 --> 00:20:55,628 Speaker 1: we can, it was against the Raiders, and I just 414 00:20:55,668 --> 00:20:59,548 Speaker 1: bring this up because you can see the potential of 415 00:20:59,708 --> 00:21:03,188 Speaker 1: what this offense could look like with him running things in. 416 00:21:03,268 --> 00:21:07,508 Speaker 1: There was running the bootleg throws where it's running it inside. 417 00:21:07,788 --> 00:21:10,908 Speaker 1: I mean, these are the source of plays that Kyle 418 00:21:10,988 --> 00:21:14,108 Speaker 1: Shanahan can draw up. And he is, to your point, James, 419 00:21:14,148 --> 00:21:17,828 Speaker 1: he's like a mad scientist, mixing matching, coming up with 420 00:21:17,868 --> 00:21:20,148 Speaker 1: different schemes, et cetera for him. And he does have 421 00:21:20,188 --> 00:21:22,468 Speaker 1: a big arm and from what we've also heard too, 422 00:21:22,748 --> 00:21:25,548 Speaker 1: as a very high football IQ. So if there is 423 00:21:25,628 --> 00:21:30,028 Speaker 1: somebody who can process this Kyle Shanahan offense, it is 424 00:21:30,108 --> 00:21:33,348 Speaker 1: Trey Lance certainly. So they're just gonna have to buckle 425 00:21:33,428 --> 00:21:35,308 Speaker 1: up and they're gonna have to white knuckle it for 426 00:21:35,428 --> 00:21:37,948 Speaker 1: a little bit as he goes through the development, but 427 00:21:37,988 --> 00:21:40,068 Speaker 1: there is a lot of pressure, to your point, on 428 00:21:40,148 --> 00:21:42,788 Speaker 1: him to produce. It's a lot of pressure. And I'll 429 00:21:42,788 --> 00:21:44,948 Speaker 1: tell you one thing. They better make sure Deebo Samuel 430 00:21:45,028 --> 00:21:48,628 Speaker 1: is happy. Yes, he's the most explosive person on that team. 431 00:21:48,668 --> 00:21:51,388 Speaker 1: He's probably the best player all to that team. Make 432 00:21:51,428 --> 00:21:54,188 Speaker 1: sure he's happy, especially with the young quarterback. Yeah, they 433 00:21:54,188 --> 00:22:07,428 Speaker 1: need to get that contract situation. Figure it out. If 434 00:22:07,508 --> 00:22:12,988 Speaker 1: Henry on the right side, there you go, hey, Tory zone, 435 00:22:13,428 --> 00:22:18,468 Speaker 1: ladies and gentlemen, in seventy six yards Karrick Henry, fire 436 00:22:18,548 --> 00:22:21,108 Speaker 1: for the back of the end zone. That ball is 437 00:22:22,548 --> 00:22:27,548 Speaker 1: much nightdown fires down Darius Letter in the five yard line. 438 00:22:27,588 --> 00:22:29,828 Speaker 1: But take away from the colt. They tell the screen 439 00:22:29,908 --> 00:22:32,228 Speaker 1: to Cooks left side, try to find some room. Has 440 00:22:32,268 --> 00:22:37,708 Speaker 1: the first out of more rock and roll touchdown Brandon Cooks. 441 00:22:40,508 --> 00:22:42,788 Speaker 1: All right, it's time to continue with the segment we 442 00:22:42,828 --> 00:22:46,508 Speaker 1: are calling the checklist. As the new season quickly approaches, 443 00:22:46,788 --> 00:22:49,748 Speaker 1: will check in with every team in every division and 444 00:22:49,828 --> 00:22:52,388 Speaker 1: lay out what they need to do to find success 445 00:22:52,508 --> 00:22:55,868 Speaker 1: in twenty twenty two. Now, yesterday we talked about the 446 00:22:55,868 --> 00:22:59,228 Speaker 1: AFC East, and today, my friends, we're focusing on the 447 00:22:59,348 --> 00:23:04,428 Speaker 1: AFC South right there. So Mike Rob I'm up, you 448 00:23:05,228 --> 00:23:11,068 Speaker 1: start things. I got this Indianapolis Colts here. Let's do 449 00:23:11,148 --> 00:23:14,108 Speaker 1: that tag. I mean, let's do it Indianapolis costs. Here's 450 00:23:14,108 --> 00:23:18,308 Speaker 1: the checklist for success for the Indianapolis coach. Number one, 451 00:23:18,708 --> 00:23:20,908 Speaker 1: one fifty two fifty. You know what that means. That 452 00:23:20,948 --> 00:23:22,788 Speaker 1: means you have to rush for one hundred and fifty 453 00:23:22,828 --> 00:23:25,308 Speaker 1: yards and throw the ball for two hundred and fifty yards. 454 00:23:25,348 --> 00:23:27,628 Speaker 1: That's a lot of offense. And you already rush for 455 00:23:27,628 --> 00:23:29,708 Speaker 1: one hundred and forty nine yards last year. So I 456 00:23:29,788 --> 00:23:33,708 Speaker 1: expect the rushing totals to be there with Jonathan Taylor 457 00:23:33,748 --> 00:23:36,908 Speaker 1: and that big offensive line. But you do have Matt Ryan. Now, 458 00:23:36,988 --> 00:23:38,788 Speaker 1: last year you only threw the ball for about two 459 00:23:38,868 --> 00:23:42,028 Speaker 1: hundred and twenty yards. Thirty more yards, okay, two hundred 460 00:23:42,028 --> 00:23:44,548 Speaker 1: and fifty yards. Matt Ryan, He's seen everything and he's 461 00:23:44,548 --> 00:23:47,588 Speaker 1: gonna have the ability to throw you guys. Two wins. 462 00:23:47,708 --> 00:23:51,828 Speaker 1: Number two hold opponents under twenty points. Now. Last year 463 00:23:51,868 --> 00:23:55,028 Speaker 1: in twenty twenty one, this deefest held opponents to about 464 00:23:55,028 --> 00:23:57,588 Speaker 1: twenty one points a game. Matt Eberflus, he's now the 465 00:23:57,788 --> 00:24:00,828 Speaker 1: head coach with the Chicago Bears. So you're gonna need 466 00:24:00,908 --> 00:24:02,828 Speaker 1: that scheme to stay that. You got Quitty pay, you 467 00:24:02,868 --> 00:24:05,548 Speaker 1: got the Forest Buckner, all the pass rushers to be 468 00:24:05,548 --> 00:24:08,108 Speaker 1: able to get after the passer. And now the guy 469 00:24:08,148 --> 00:24:10,548 Speaker 1: on the outside step find Gilmore. He's a guy that 470 00:24:10,668 --> 00:24:14,548 Speaker 1: you can lockdown receivers on the outside and just shut 471 00:24:14,588 --> 00:24:19,748 Speaker 1: down opposing offenses. Number three playoff berth, and you have 472 00:24:19,868 --> 00:24:23,188 Speaker 1: to win a playoff game, not just get Then you 473 00:24:23,228 --> 00:24:26,308 Speaker 1: have the opportunity to go to the playoffs. Last year, 474 00:24:26,308 --> 00:24:28,868 Speaker 1: I don't know if I want to mention this coach fans, 475 00:24:28,908 --> 00:24:31,028 Speaker 1: but you lost to the Jaguars in the last week 476 00:24:31,028 --> 00:24:33,628 Speaker 1: of the season. You should have won that game. Sorry, 477 00:24:33,708 --> 00:24:36,028 Speaker 1: you don't have the same quarterback. So I expect you 478 00:24:36,388 --> 00:24:39,868 Speaker 1: to go to the playoffs and win a playoff game 479 00:24:40,028 --> 00:24:43,468 Speaker 1: this year. So number one, one fifty, two fifty, that 480 00:24:43,588 --> 00:24:46,148 Speaker 1: is very important. You have to remember those numbers. One 481 00:24:46,228 --> 00:24:49,748 Speaker 1: hundred fifty rushing yosper game, two hundred fifty passing yosper game, 482 00:24:50,188 --> 00:24:53,828 Speaker 1: holding opponents to under twenty points, and it's a playoff 483 00:24:53,908 --> 00:24:57,188 Speaker 1: berth and a win for the Indianapolis coach James are 484 00:24:57,188 --> 00:25:04,628 Speaker 1: you up next? All right? He brought him up I'll 485 00:25:04,628 --> 00:25:09,548 Speaker 1: talk to him. Jacksonville Jaguars. This is your checklist right now. 486 00:25:09,988 --> 00:25:13,988 Speaker 1: You have what we all believe is to get Trevor 487 00:25:14,068 --> 00:25:17,508 Speaker 1: Lawrence back on track. Remember, this is the best quarterback 488 00:25:17,548 --> 00:25:21,468 Speaker 1: prospect we have seen since Andrew Luck last year. It 489 00:25:21,588 --> 00:25:24,388 Speaker 1: was a dumpster fire, and you have to make sure 490 00:25:24,428 --> 00:25:27,108 Speaker 1: you get this guy to where we all believe he 491 00:25:27,188 --> 00:25:30,588 Speaker 1: has the ability to get to. It was kind of 492 00:25:30,588 --> 00:25:32,708 Speaker 1: back and forth. It was Hey early on, and I 493 00:25:32,748 --> 00:25:34,388 Speaker 1: was with these guys a lot early in the season. 494 00:25:34,508 --> 00:25:36,308 Speaker 1: We don't want him to run. We have to protect him. 495 00:25:36,348 --> 00:25:37,668 Speaker 1: We have to make sure they doesn't go out there 496 00:25:37,668 --> 00:25:40,468 Speaker 1: and hurt himself. Fast forward to week three, Urban Meyer going, 497 00:25:40,508 --> 00:25:42,588 Speaker 1: Trevor's got to get outside the pocket and run. Man, 498 00:25:42,588 --> 00:25:44,548 Speaker 1: He's got to use those legs. It's like snip snap, 499 00:25:44,588 --> 00:25:47,908 Speaker 1: snip snap. Don't know what you're doing. The issue. What's 500 00:25:47,948 --> 00:25:52,948 Speaker 1: happening with Trevor Lawrence. Now they get Doug Peterson in there, 501 00:25:53,028 --> 00:25:56,748 Speaker 1: and Doug knows how to handle quarterbacks, knows how to 502 00:25:56,788 --> 00:25:58,908 Speaker 1: figure this out, knows how to get him to that 503 00:25:58,948 --> 00:26:01,908 Speaker 1: next step. But that's your number one priority in the 504 00:26:01,948 --> 00:26:05,028 Speaker 1: twenty twenty two season is get Trevor Lawrence back on 505 00:26:05,108 --> 00:26:07,908 Speaker 1: track number two, be creative with this offense. A big 506 00:26:07,948 --> 00:26:10,148 Speaker 1: reason why they went out and got Christian Kirk and 507 00:26:10,148 --> 00:26:12,628 Speaker 1: Evan Ingram and they made these moves at these skill 508 00:26:12,708 --> 00:26:15,748 Speaker 1: positions is to get guys that are pros, Guys that 509 00:26:15,788 --> 00:26:18,468 Speaker 1: are good route runners, Guys that do things that didn't 510 00:26:18,468 --> 00:26:21,908 Speaker 1: happen in this offense last season, which was receivers maybe 511 00:26:21,908 --> 00:26:24,508 Speaker 1: too close together, receivers dumping off their routes early, and 512 00:26:24,548 --> 00:26:27,748 Speaker 1: it's making life difficult on number one Trevor Lawrence. So 513 00:26:27,788 --> 00:26:29,708 Speaker 1: you go out and you find these different pieces. Add 514 00:26:29,708 --> 00:26:32,068 Speaker 1: in Travis etm because he didn't play his rookie year 515 00:26:32,108 --> 00:26:34,028 Speaker 1: because of the Liz Frank So you have all these 516 00:26:34,068 --> 00:26:36,268 Speaker 1: different pieces down there that you can be creative with. 517 00:26:36,308 --> 00:26:38,628 Speaker 1: My understanding is throughout the off season they were doing 518 00:26:38,668 --> 00:26:41,588 Speaker 1: drills where you're playing kind of outside on this one, 519 00:26:41,668 --> 00:26:42,988 Speaker 1: then you're in the slot on the next one, then 520 00:26:42,988 --> 00:26:45,348 Speaker 1: you're moving someplace else on another play, and you're finding 521 00:26:45,388 --> 00:26:47,628 Speaker 1: ways to move these pieces around. That's what Doug Peterson 522 00:26:47,628 --> 00:26:49,628 Speaker 1: and Press Taylor are trying to do to where they 523 00:26:49,668 --> 00:26:53,428 Speaker 1: can find different matchups to their advantage each and every week. 524 00:26:53,708 --> 00:26:57,468 Speaker 1: Last one, watch the stink Off. I mean cool, I 525 00:26:57,588 --> 00:27:01,508 Speaker 1: was there throughout all of the draft, told by Erbemeyer 526 00:27:01,588 --> 00:27:03,308 Speaker 1: repeatedly how things were going to go, and then it 527 00:27:03,348 --> 00:27:06,228 Speaker 1: went off the rails extremely quickly. You have to get 528 00:27:06,268 --> 00:27:08,788 Speaker 1: this building back in line. That is up to Doug Peterson. 529 00:27:08,948 --> 00:27:11,548 Speaker 1: I think this is a really, really good fit for 530 00:27:11,548 --> 00:27:14,108 Speaker 1: Peterson to come down there to Duvall County and find 531 00:27:14,148 --> 00:27:16,908 Speaker 1: a way to change this building. There's a reason why 532 00:27:17,348 --> 00:27:20,308 Speaker 1: on Doug Peterson's first day, I was told Trevor Lawrence 533 00:27:20,388 --> 00:27:23,188 Speaker 1: was sitting there waiting outside of his office. He wants 534 00:27:23,188 --> 00:27:25,948 Speaker 1: to move forward. Doug Peterson. Now will is in charge 535 00:27:26,188 --> 00:27:29,628 Speaker 1: of washing the stink off of the fiasco that happened 536 00:27:29,628 --> 00:27:32,308 Speaker 1: down there in Duvall County and now find a way 537 00:27:32,348 --> 00:27:35,948 Speaker 1: to just put this back to normalcy and show us 538 00:27:35,948 --> 00:27:37,668 Speaker 1: that Trevor Lawrence can be the guy that we all 539 00:27:37,668 --> 00:27:40,548 Speaker 1: expect him to be. And then you're on the right track. Mike, 540 00:27:40,708 --> 00:27:42,708 Speaker 1: come on, all right, all right, you're on day zy. 541 00:27:42,708 --> 00:27:47,548 Speaker 1: Come on, jay Z watcha yeah, well watch away in 542 00:27:47,548 --> 00:27:52,068 Speaker 1: the state. Never mind. These guys are done. These guys 543 00:27:52,108 --> 00:27:54,588 Speaker 1: are done. I'm gonna take the Tennessee Titans because that's 544 00:27:54,748 --> 00:27:58,468 Speaker 1: who they assign me his time for the keys to 545 00:27:58,588 --> 00:28:01,548 Speaker 1: the Titan season. This is the checklist right here. Okay, 546 00:28:01,548 --> 00:28:04,988 Speaker 1: extend Derrick Henry before the season. This is very important 547 00:28:05,028 --> 00:28:07,868 Speaker 1: for multiple reasons. You remember that A J. Brown trade 548 00:28:07,908 --> 00:28:10,388 Speaker 1: that happened. Of course you do. During the draft. All 549 00:28:10,428 --> 00:28:14,748 Speaker 1: the Titans players, you see their tweets immediately after that happened. 550 00:28:14,988 --> 00:28:17,508 Speaker 1: They were in shock. They couldn't believe that they had 551 00:28:17,508 --> 00:28:20,668 Speaker 1: just moved on from a critical player in their locker 552 00:28:20,748 --> 00:28:22,868 Speaker 1: room and a guy that they very much appreciate it 553 00:28:22,908 --> 00:28:25,748 Speaker 1: as a teammate. Well, they very much appreciate this guy 554 00:28:25,948 --> 00:28:28,148 Speaker 1: right here. Henry got two years left in his deal 555 00:28:28,188 --> 00:28:30,508 Speaker 1: at about twelve million dollars in each of the next 556 00:28:30,508 --> 00:28:32,908 Speaker 1: two years. He was asked about it a mini camp 557 00:28:32,908 --> 00:28:34,908 Speaker 1: and he said, quote, it's always good to get a 558 00:28:34,948 --> 00:28:38,348 Speaker 1: promotion at your job. I agree. What time is it 559 00:28:38,348 --> 00:28:44,828 Speaker 1: in LA right now? Not too early? Derrek Henry's put 560 00:28:44,828 --> 00:28:47,028 Speaker 1: it out there. I put it out there. But that 561 00:28:47,108 --> 00:28:49,748 Speaker 1: sends them a message to this locker room. Number one, 562 00:28:49,948 --> 00:28:52,868 Speaker 1: we still value the players that take care of business 563 00:28:52,908 --> 00:28:55,268 Speaker 1: for us. And number two, we believe this guy's healthy. 564 00:28:55,308 --> 00:28:57,308 Speaker 1: So that's going to inject some confidence in this team. 565 00:28:57,508 --> 00:28:59,588 Speaker 1: Speaking of A J. Brown, he has gone, So I 566 00:28:59,628 --> 00:29:01,748 Speaker 1: need Treylon Burke's the rookie. Started to put this on 567 00:29:01,788 --> 00:29:03,508 Speaker 1: you right now, buddy, but it is what it is. 568 00:29:03,588 --> 00:29:07,188 Speaker 1: I need you to be a J. Brown Esque esque. 569 00:29:07,348 --> 00:29:09,108 Speaker 1: Doesn't mean you have to be all the way there. 570 00:29:09,268 --> 00:29:11,388 Speaker 1: You just gotta show that you can bring that element 571 00:29:11,468 --> 00:29:14,348 Speaker 1: to this offense that AJ Brown brought. And he does 572 00:29:14,428 --> 00:29:16,628 Speaker 1: have that physicality you saw a little bit right there, 573 00:29:16,668 --> 00:29:19,108 Speaker 1: able to work through the jam. He is six two 574 00:29:19,148 --> 00:29:21,388 Speaker 1: two twenty five AJ Brown. I've seen him listed at 575 00:29:21,388 --> 00:29:24,508 Speaker 1: six one two twenty six, so they have the same makeup. 576 00:29:24,548 --> 00:29:27,828 Speaker 1: There is that physical possibility. Is he gonna catch a 577 00:29:27,908 --> 00:29:30,108 Speaker 1: ball at the ten yard line and just drive through 578 00:29:30,148 --> 00:29:31,868 Speaker 1: three defenders all the way into the end zone like 579 00:29:31,908 --> 00:29:37,468 Speaker 1: a J. Brown had done on multiple occasions, But a 580 00:29:37,508 --> 00:29:39,548 Speaker 1: little bit of it and the ability to do even 581 00:29:39,548 --> 00:29:41,588 Speaker 1: more of it down the line. That's gonna inject some 582 00:29:41,668 --> 00:29:43,988 Speaker 1: confidence for all those teammates that were upset that AJ 583 00:29:44,108 --> 00:29:46,828 Speaker 1: Brown is gone. And then finally Ryan Tannehill' is not 584 00:29:46,868 --> 00:29:48,668 Speaker 1: on here. Yeah. I need him to play better, of course, 585 00:29:49,508 --> 00:29:52,108 Speaker 1: but this will help right here. Awesome run defense one 586 00:29:52,108 --> 00:29:55,308 Speaker 1: more time. Last year second in the NFL. Only three games, 587 00:29:55,388 --> 00:29:58,348 Speaker 1: only three games where they allowed their opponent to go 588 00:29:58,628 --> 00:30:01,708 Speaker 1: over one hundred yards yards as a team. I need 589 00:30:01,788 --> 00:30:03,428 Speaker 1: a little bit more of that right there. The past 590 00:30:03,468 --> 00:30:05,548 Speaker 1: defense is gonna have to be better, obviously, but if 591 00:30:05,548 --> 00:30:08,668 Speaker 1: you stop the run in this league, Will Selva, especially 592 00:30:08,668 --> 00:30:11,588 Speaker 1: when you're playing the Colts two times a year, that 593 00:30:11,628 --> 00:30:14,028 Speaker 1: will help you beat successful. So I need that from 594 00:30:14,028 --> 00:30:17,908 Speaker 1: you again, Will Selva. All right, you're up one. Yes, 595 00:30:18,228 --> 00:30:20,348 Speaker 1: you're absolutely right. That's how it works. I'll finish us 596 00:30:20,388 --> 00:30:24,108 Speaker 1: off with the Texans twenty twenty two checklists. First, Davis 597 00:30:24,108 --> 00:30:27,428 Speaker 1: Mills needs to turn into General Mills, no, not to 598 00:30:27,548 --> 00:30:30,428 Speaker 1: serial magnified, a guy who can be in command of 599 00:30:30,428 --> 00:30:33,148 Speaker 1: this Texans offense and run the show. The third round 600 00:30:33,188 --> 00:30:36,028 Speaker 1: pick had an impressive showing last year, ranking second to 601 00:30:36,068 --> 00:30:38,988 Speaker 1: only Mac Jones and that loaded rookie class as far 602 00:30:38,988 --> 00:30:43,028 Speaker 1: as passer rating, completion percentage, and touchdown to interception ratio. 603 00:30:43,308 --> 00:30:45,588 Speaker 1: If you can take just another step and show the 604 00:30:45,628 --> 00:30:48,508 Speaker 1: Texans they found their QB of the future, it's so 605 00:30:48,708 --> 00:30:52,308 Speaker 1: win regardless of what their final record is this season. 606 00:30:52,428 --> 00:30:57,228 Speaker 1: All right, next up, superstar Stingley Junior. Okay, that's right. 607 00:30:57,788 --> 00:31:00,828 Speaker 1: He's a baller, but we need him to be a superstar. 608 00:31:01,108 --> 00:31:05,108 Speaker 1: The Texans third overall pick Darryl Stingley Juniors to turn 609 00:31:05,308 --> 00:31:08,828 Speaker 1: into a start anytime you take a corner. Third overall 610 00:31:08,988 --> 00:31:12,948 Speaker 1: raises eyebrows, but this selection was even more controversial with 611 00:31:13,028 --> 00:31:16,548 Speaker 1: Sas Gardner still on the board. They need the promising 612 00:31:16,588 --> 00:31:19,948 Speaker 1: young DV to stay healthy, make this Texans front office 613 00:31:20,108 --> 00:31:22,748 Speaker 1: look smart by being entrenched in the Rookie of the 614 00:31:22,788 --> 00:31:26,548 Speaker 1: Year race. Houston needs to start finding some cornerstones to 615 00:31:26,588 --> 00:31:31,548 Speaker 1: build this franchise around, and Third, they need to win 616 00:31:31,868 --> 00:31:36,188 Speaker 1: as an underdog. Listen, I think it's unrealistic to expect 617 00:31:36,188 --> 00:31:38,868 Speaker 1: the Texans to merge as a playoff team in a 618 00:31:38,948 --> 00:31:42,668 Speaker 1: loaded field in the AFC, but it's a significant step 619 00:31:43,068 --> 00:31:46,028 Speaker 1: forward if they can show some progress and pull off 620 00:31:46,068 --> 00:31:48,948 Speaker 1: a few upsets along the way. Goes down the Tients 621 00:31:49,108 --> 00:31:51,508 Speaker 1: one week, take down the Colts while you're at it. 622 00:31:51,708 --> 00:31:54,988 Speaker 1: Give those ASC West teams all they can handle. This 623 00:31:55,068 --> 00:31:58,708 Speaker 1: year is about funding, finding some pieces to move forward with, 624 00:31:58,988 --> 00:32:02,468 Speaker 1: and creating some excitement and positive momentum as this team 625 00:32:02,508 --> 00:32:14,268 Speaker 1: continues to re build. Now it's time to go on 626 00:32:14,388 --> 00:32:18,708 Speaker 1: out to the West Coast. Our guy, Patrick clay Bonne 627 00:32:18,748 --> 00:32:20,908 Speaker 1: and Patrick, you're one of the most interesting men in 628 00:32:20,908 --> 00:32:22,988 Speaker 1: the world to me, Brother Hall. I just wanted to 629 00:32:23,068 --> 00:32:26,388 Speaker 1: let you know the man. You're awesome. Yes you are. 630 00:32:27,028 --> 00:32:34,228 Speaker 1: That's the world. Take it well, you guys. You guys 631 00:32:34,268 --> 00:32:37,708 Speaker 1: are super interesting and honestly right because I've been taking 632 00:32:37,708 --> 00:32:40,188 Speaker 1: the notes right, we were going through the AFC checklist, 633 00:32:40,508 --> 00:32:43,268 Speaker 1: and I'm mostly interested in the strays some of these 634 00:32:43,308 --> 00:32:45,388 Speaker 1: quarterbacks are catching today. I love it. They might not. 635 00:32:45,468 --> 00:32:47,948 Speaker 1: Maybe we'll have some Twitter peefs pop up, which will 636 00:32:47,988 --> 00:32:49,428 Speaker 1: be great because that will give us something to talk 637 00:32:49,468 --> 00:32:51,588 Speaker 1: about tomorrow. But one of the biggest things that we've 638 00:32:51,628 --> 00:32:54,508 Speaker 1: been talking about all offseason has been Deebo Samuel's quest 639 00:32:54,548 --> 00:32:56,868 Speaker 1: for a new contract, one that he deserves after hacking 640 00:32:56,948 --> 00:33:00,068 Speaker 1: up fourteen touchdowns and close to two thousand all purpose 641 00:33:00,148 --> 00:33:02,428 Speaker 1: yards to do everything wide up has made it clear 642 00:33:02,508 --> 00:33:04,148 Speaker 1: to the forty nine ers brass that he wants to 643 00:33:04,148 --> 00:33:06,908 Speaker 1: get paid well. Hope appears to be on the horizon 644 00:33:06,948 --> 00:33:09,948 Speaker 1: after San Franz linebacker Fred Warner appeared on The Rich 645 00:33:09,988 --> 00:33:13,308 Speaker 1: Eyes and Show Monday and had an optimistic view on 646 00:33:13,428 --> 00:33:17,908 Speaker 1: Debo's future with the Niners. I saw him at OTAs 647 00:33:17,988 --> 00:33:21,148 Speaker 1: and he was looking great, you know, in great spirits too, 648 00:33:21,188 --> 00:33:22,908 Speaker 1: So it was good to see him back and be 649 00:33:23,028 --> 00:33:25,268 Speaker 1: back with his teammates. The thing I can say about Debos, 650 00:33:25,308 --> 00:33:29,268 Speaker 1: he's an amazing player as well as a teammate. You know, 651 00:33:29,308 --> 00:33:31,908 Speaker 1: that's my guy, and so I know he he'll get 652 00:33:31,908 --> 00:33:36,148 Speaker 1: whatever he deserves, and you know, I know in good 653 00:33:36,148 --> 00:33:40,388 Speaker 1: time that things will work for themselves out staying in 654 00:33:40,428 --> 00:33:43,388 Speaker 1: the NFC West. The Cardinals also experienced a bit of 655 00:33:43,428 --> 00:33:46,308 Speaker 1: uncertainty this offseason when Rodney Hudson didn't show up for 656 00:33:46,388 --> 00:33:49,868 Speaker 1: mandatory minicamp last month, but it appears that the dramas 657 00:33:49,868 --> 00:33:52,228 Speaker 1: in the rearview after the thirty three year old starting 658 00:33:52,228 --> 00:33:54,668 Speaker 1: center and formed the team that he'll be returning for 659 00:33:54,748 --> 00:33:58,588 Speaker 1: the twenty twenty two seasons. And in Vegas, Hudson's former 660 00:33:58,628 --> 00:34:01,028 Speaker 1: team got some good news after Kenyan Drake told Matt 661 00:34:01,068 --> 00:34:03,708 Speaker 1: Holder of Silver and Black Pride that he expects to 662 00:34:03,708 --> 00:34:05,708 Speaker 1: be ready for Raiding camp even if he's not one 663 00:34:05,748 --> 00:34:09,028 Speaker 1: hundred and then he'll definitely be ready to go for 664 00:34:09,068 --> 00:34:13,628 Speaker 1: the Raiders regular season opener against the Chargers. So our 665 00:34:13,708 --> 00:34:15,508 Speaker 1: Las Vegas has some high hopes in the season with 666 00:34:15,628 --> 00:34:18,188 Speaker 1: Josh McDaniels now at the Helm, but the Raiders will 667 00:34:18,468 --> 00:34:22,268 Speaker 1: aren't the only team with a new head coach. Excellent 668 00:34:22,468 --> 00:34:26,188 Speaker 1: segue there from the one the only Patrick Claybon. You 669 00:34:26,228 --> 00:34:29,188 Speaker 1: are the best thinking, my friend. We will check back 670 00:34:29,228 --> 00:34:34,948 Speaker 1: with you in the next hour. So. Former Vikings linebacker 671 00:34:35,068 --> 00:34:39,708 Speaker 1: Ben Leeber spoke about Kirk Cousins on CBS Sports Radio's 672 00:34:39,948 --> 00:34:43,948 Speaker 1: Zach Gelb Show recently, saying a quote, I think he's 673 00:34:43,948 --> 00:34:48,468 Speaker 1: gonna finally thrive, really thrive in a system and a 674 00:34:48,508 --> 00:34:51,828 Speaker 1: coach that actually respects him. I mean, it's not like 675 00:34:51,908 --> 00:34:55,428 Speaker 1: I'm breaking news here that Mike Zimmer did not like 676 00:34:55,708 --> 00:34:59,708 Speaker 1: her Cousins. The team was never given to him, or 677 00:35:00,268 --> 00:35:02,988 Speaker 1: he was never allowed to earn the trust of the 678 00:35:03,028 --> 00:35:10,708 Speaker 1: team because the head coach, I think, just didn't like him. Vitally, fans, 679 00:35:11,108 --> 00:35:15,828 Speaker 1: sure how Cousins will flourish in Kevin O'Connell's offense. Guys, 680 00:35:16,148 --> 00:35:19,508 Speaker 1: which quarterback do you believe will thrive under their new 681 00:35:19,628 --> 00:35:22,828 Speaker 1: head coach? The whole Zimmer Cousins thing though, I didn't 682 00:35:22,828 --> 00:35:29,068 Speaker 1: even realize, though, James, No, it's news to me. Yeah, wells, yes, 683 00:35:30,748 --> 00:35:33,748 Speaker 1: don't act like I'm breaking news. Well break the news. 684 00:35:34,708 --> 00:35:37,468 Speaker 1: I'm gonna go with a quarterback that that has to 685 00:35:37,548 --> 00:35:39,668 Speaker 1: thrive this season. I'm gonna go with a guy that 686 00:35:40,348 --> 00:35:43,908 Speaker 1: needs to make Trevor Lare massive step and guys, let's 687 00:35:43,948 --> 00:35:48,148 Speaker 1: talk about Jackson Jauars. Thank you, I say on brand 688 00:35:48,188 --> 00:35:50,628 Speaker 1: for the entire No, I'm gonna go with two a 689 00:35:50,708 --> 00:35:54,788 Speaker 1: ton of bolo. This is an extremely extremely important season 690 00:35:55,188 --> 00:35:57,988 Speaker 1: for this quarterback. I mean there used to be guys, 691 00:35:58,068 --> 00:36:00,708 Speaker 1: remember the chance let's tank for two of us. Yeah yeah, 692 00:36:00,708 --> 00:36:04,108 Speaker 1: I mean this was a this was a slam dunk 693 00:36:04,548 --> 00:36:07,828 Speaker 1: prospect at Alabama. And what we've seen is, you know, 694 00:36:07,988 --> 00:36:10,388 Speaker 1: this is a team that can win football games, but 695 00:36:10,468 --> 00:36:12,468 Speaker 1: this isn't a team that hasn't gotten over the hump. 696 00:36:12,708 --> 00:36:15,668 Speaker 1: And if the quarterback plays better and Mike McDaniel comes 697 00:36:15,668 --> 00:36:18,908 Speaker 1: in and finds ways to make him successful, this is 698 00:36:18,908 --> 00:36:21,668 Speaker 1: on both of them. But this is really on the 699 00:36:21,668 --> 00:36:23,708 Speaker 1: shoulders of two a tongue of mile oad because if, 700 00:36:24,028 --> 00:36:27,668 Speaker 1: obviously Mike this doesn't work, Mike McDaniel will be with 701 00:36:27,708 --> 00:36:31,268 Speaker 1: a new quarterback potentially in the future. He's not going 702 00:36:31,308 --> 00:36:34,948 Speaker 1: anywhere right now, you don't think. So this is really 703 00:36:35,228 --> 00:36:37,868 Speaker 1: a situation that I look at with the new head 704 00:36:37,868 --> 00:36:43,108 Speaker 1: coach and quarterback one where this is a system that 705 00:36:43,188 --> 00:36:46,588 Speaker 1: you've seen finds success no matter who the quarterback is. 706 00:36:46,788 --> 00:36:49,588 Speaker 1: If it's done correctly. It's one where you can find 707 00:36:49,828 --> 00:36:53,348 Speaker 1: easy solutions and rob right, where you can find open receivers, 708 00:36:53,508 --> 00:36:56,508 Speaker 1: where the system makes you play better. So that falls 709 00:36:56,508 --> 00:36:59,068 Speaker 1: on Mike McDaniel. But at the same time, I think 710 00:36:59,148 --> 00:37:02,308 Speaker 1: in terms of the pressure of a quarterback with their 711 00:37:02,388 --> 00:37:04,668 Speaker 1: new head coach, this might be the one with with 712 00:37:04,748 --> 00:37:06,468 Speaker 1: the most on it. I like, I like what you 713 00:37:06,508 --> 00:37:09,908 Speaker 1: did there. You tweaked, you spun it a little. You 714 00:37:09,948 --> 00:37:13,188 Speaker 1: didn't go will. You said needs to right, So it 715 00:37:13,268 --> 00:37:16,148 Speaker 1: doesn't have Keiths. I never said it was going to. 716 00:37:16,548 --> 00:37:18,788 Speaker 1: I said it had to. You're a veteran of these 717 00:37:20,628 --> 00:37:26,348 Speaker 1: making TV. It's wonderful. It's really wonderful. Yeah, and I 718 00:37:26,388 --> 00:37:31,948 Speaker 1: do the same thing here, Daniel Jones. Michael I said, 719 00:37:32,468 --> 00:37:34,948 Speaker 1: I didn't say, well, I'm gonna say, well, I amn't 720 00:37:34,948 --> 00:37:38,708 Speaker 1: going to not will will he will thrive right here now, 721 00:37:38,748 --> 00:37:42,188 Speaker 1: I said Kirk cut Kevin O'Connell yesterday. I'm I still 722 00:37:42,228 --> 00:37:43,788 Speaker 1: believe in that. So don't be like, well, why is 723 00:37:43,788 --> 00:37:46,068 Speaker 1: he off of No? I just that was yesterday's show. 724 00:37:46,108 --> 00:37:48,028 Speaker 1: We're on to today's show. So that's why I'm going 725 00:37:48,068 --> 00:37:50,708 Speaker 1: with Davi. It has to, it has to. They are 726 00:37:50,908 --> 00:37:53,588 Speaker 1: better up front than they've been the last couple of years. 727 00:37:53,908 --> 00:37:56,428 Speaker 1: Brian Dable is coming in, I think with the right touch. 728 00:37:56,508 --> 00:37:58,788 Speaker 1: So you believe in Daniel Jones, is what you're saying. 729 00:37:59,108 --> 00:38:04,868 Speaker 1: H answer, you're putting your name on it right now. 730 00:38:05,388 --> 00:38:08,828 Speaker 1: You believe in Daniel Jones as a franchise quarterback in 731 00:38:08,868 --> 00:38:11,828 Speaker 1: the National Football League. Mike Garrel, Folo, what's up with that? 732 00:38:12,188 --> 00:38:14,468 Speaker 1: I believe in Daniel Jones. Do you believe in it? 733 00:38:14,668 --> 00:38:16,668 Speaker 1: I don't want to hear about Brian day Ball anymore. 734 00:38:16,708 --> 00:38:18,148 Speaker 1: We know he has a new play call. I don't 735 00:38:18,148 --> 00:38:19,908 Speaker 1: want to hear about what's in front of him. We 736 00:38:19,948 --> 00:38:22,348 Speaker 1: know he has new offensive linemen. We know he has 737 00:38:22,348 --> 00:38:24,588 Speaker 1: sa Quon Bark, We know that. Do you believe in 738 00:38:24,668 --> 00:38:29,388 Speaker 1: Daniel Jones? Yes? Don't look at you? Damn wats you 739 00:38:29,468 --> 00:38:34,548 Speaker 1: at another hour? We got another hour, come on, jeezy, 740 00:38:34,868 --> 00:38:37,428 Speaker 1: but just him on it? I don't. I don't, Okay, 741 00:38:37,548 --> 00:38:39,748 Speaker 1: Like if I was starting a team today, what's up 742 00:38:39,748 --> 00:38:42,428 Speaker 1: with my mic cord? If I was starting a team 743 00:38:42,468 --> 00:38:44,668 Speaker 1: today when I picked Daniel Jones in the top half 744 00:38:44,668 --> 00:38:48,388 Speaker 1: of quarterbacks draft, of course not okay, But what you're 745 00:38:48,388 --> 00:38:51,508 Speaker 1: talking about Jeans, I think he will thrive. I think 746 00:38:51,548 --> 00:38:54,188 Speaker 1: he will ascend. I'm gonna pick some different words. I 747 00:38:54,228 --> 00:38:56,188 Speaker 1: think he's going to play better, and I think he's 748 00:38:56,228 --> 00:38:59,268 Speaker 1: got a shot to convince me that he's a franchise quarterback. 749 00:38:59,468 --> 00:39:01,388 Speaker 1: I can't make the call. I don't. He's got a 750 00:39:01,428 --> 00:39:04,588 Speaker 1: shot to convince me. Every every every player in your 751 00:39:04,588 --> 00:39:07,148 Speaker 1: football league right now, a shot to convince us that 752 00:39:07,188 --> 00:39:10,068 Speaker 1: they can plays. There are players that I said, no, 753 00:39:10,308 --> 00:39:14,948 Speaker 1: I'm capped. I've already seen so Jesus putting his name 754 00:39:14,948 --> 00:39:18,228 Speaker 1: on Daniel Jones. Okay, we got this. It's a fact. 755 00:39:18,348 --> 00:39:21,868 Speaker 1: You support Daniel Jones. You stay he's that franchise guy. Okay, 756 00:39:21,948 --> 00:39:24,068 Speaker 1: I'm gonna phrase it the best way I possible. I 757 00:39:24,108 --> 00:39:26,428 Speaker 1: believe that Daniel Jones, under Brian Dable and with a 758 00:39:26,468 --> 00:39:29,588 Speaker 1: better offensive line and a better situation this year is 759 00:39:29,628 --> 00:39:33,228 Speaker 1: going to cement his status as the Giant starter in 760 00:39:33,268 --> 00:39:35,428 Speaker 1: twenty twenty three. That's what I think he's going to 761 00:39:35,508 --> 00:39:38,108 Speaker 1: do this year. I think that is right. Okay, in 762 00:39:38,188 --> 00:39:40,828 Speaker 1: twenty three, I'm not gonna say he's the guy twenty six. 763 00:39:41,108 --> 00:39:43,348 Speaker 1: I'm not there yet. But we can have this conversation 764 00:39:43,428 --> 00:39:45,588 Speaker 1: after twenty two. But I believe that this year he's 765 00:39:45,628 --> 00:39:48,428 Speaker 1: going to play himself into being the starting quarterback. They 766 00:39:48,468 --> 00:39:50,908 Speaker 1: declined his fifth year option, which because they could tag 767 00:39:50,988 --> 00:39:52,348 Speaker 1: him on the back end if they have to make 768 00:39:52,388 --> 00:39:55,348 Speaker 1: that us for not much more. I think Taylor is 769 00:39:55,348 --> 00:39:57,348 Speaker 1: going to be the quarterback of the joh yeah, Jesus, 770 00:39:57,348 --> 00:39:58,948 Speaker 1: I don't know what that at about. To Tayler be 771 00:39:58,948 --> 00:40:00,948 Speaker 1: playing by week nine, it's all good. But it's all 772 00:40:01,068 --> 00:40:03,788 Speaker 1: good though. I got you, Jesus, put the name on 773 00:40:03,908 --> 00:40:05,708 Speaker 1: you got me. I got you. That's because you put 774 00:40:05,748 --> 00:40:10,588 Speaker 1: your name on it. You beat me up. And I 775 00:40:10,668 --> 00:40:14,548 Speaker 1: gotta talk about Derek Carry I got you from my quarterback. 776 00:40:14,588 --> 00:40:17,148 Speaker 1: With new head coaches, it's gotta be Derek Carr and 777 00:40:17,228 --> 00:40:19,188 Speaker 1: Josh McDaniel. This is the one I wanted. And I 778 00:40:19,308 --> 00:40:22,828 Speaker 1: really think these guys are gonna are gonna light it up. 779 00:40:22,868 --> 00:40:25,188 Speaker 1: Really And I think that the recipient of all of 780 00:40:25,188 --> 00:40:28,308 Speaker 1: these passes Darren Waller on one side and then hunter 781 00:40:28,348 --> 00:40:30,588 Speaker 1: Renfall on the other. I really think Darren Waller, I 782 00:40:30,628 --> 00:40:32,948 Speaker 1: mean a big scary dude running down the football field. 783 00:40:33,108 --> 00:40:35,428 Speaker 1: I think he's gonna have at least twelve hundred yards receiving. 784 00:40:35,468 --> 00:40:37,748 Speaker 1: I'm calling it right now, Darren Waller will have twelve 785 00:40:37,788 --> 00:40:40,948 Speaker 1: hundre yards receiving. Hunter Renfall will also have a thousand 786 00:40:41,028 --> 00:40:43,708 Speaker 1: yards receiving. The guy's always open. And then you talk 787 00:40:43,708 --> 00:40:47,068 Speaker 1: about Derek Carr, a guy with the ability to real 788 00:40:47,148 --> 00:40:49,508 Speaker 1: his team the wins. We've seen it. We've seen him 789 00:40:49,508 --> 00:40:51,668 Speaker 1: put his team on his back when the team is 790 00:40:51,788 --> 00:40:55,348 Speaker 1: lost the game, Laton in late game situations and he's 791 00:40:55,348 --> 00:40:56,948 Speaker 1: moved the ball right down the field and one. So 792 00:40:57,308 --> 00:40:59,268 Speaker 1: I think this is the quarterback that's gonna have the 793 00:40:59,308 --> 00:41:01,948 Speaker 1: most success with a new head coach. James, I see 794 00:41:02,028 --> 00:41:05,148 Speaker 1: raising your hand. Just have a question, acknowledge what's up. 795 00:41:05,868 --> 00:41:11,588 Speaker 1: If Darren Waller is gonna have Refron's gonna have a 796 00:41:11,628 --> 00:41:15,868 Speaker 1: thousand how many yards is Davante Adam's gonna have one 797 00:41:15,908 --> 00:41:21,028 Speaker 1: thousand two? One thousand two years? So I got three 798 00:41:21,068 --> 00:41:24,108 Speaker 1: thousand yards receivers. Last night absolutely, David Carr and I 799 00:41:24,148 --> 00:41:26,748 Speaker 1: were texting because David Carr got he said something on 800 00:41:26,788 --> 00:41:29,228 Speaker 1: Total Access. They got completely spun out of proportion that 801 00:41:29,348 --> 00:41:31,148 Speaker 1: he was saying that the Giants were gonna go after 802 00:41:31,228 --> 00:41:34,268 Speaker 1: Dan Jimmy Garoppolo. There was not what he was saying. 803 00:41:34,348 --> 00:41:36,948 Speaker 1: He was It's a long story, but I text him 804 00:41:36,948 --> 00:41:38,988 Speaker 1: he goes, people are crazy. The question was posed to 805 00:41:39,028 --> 00:41:42,908 Speaker 1: me about who Michael whatever, he goes Danny Jones for president, 806 00:41:43,188 --> 00:41:47,348 Speaker 1: He's gonna win MVP if Derek doesn't. So David Carr 807 00:41:47,468 --> 00:41:50,388 Speaker 1: has got my back. He's legitimately got me. Both of 808 00:41:50,428 --> 00:41:52,948 Speaker 1: y'all are crazy, and I love you. I love you. 809 00:41:53,068 --> 00:41:57,108 Speaker 1: Dates for MVP, I love you. Daniel Jonals ain't are 810 00:41:57,188 --> 00:42:01,028 Speaker 1: you kidding? They just say that, oh oh, he was 811 00:42:02,468 --> 00:42:06,188 Speaker 1: my quarterback and had coach combos. I think is gonna thrive, 812 00:42:06,348 --> 00:42:09,268 Speaker 1: is gonna be Trod Taylor and Brian Dable. It is 813 00:42:09,308 --> 00:42:13,188 Speaker 1: why I'm kidding. I believe that it is Russell Wilson 814 00:42:13,708 --> 00:42:16,988 Speaker 1: and Nathaniel Hackett, and the Daniel Hackett got their respect 815 00:42:17,588 --> 00:42:22,908 Speaker 1: from Aaron Rodgers elevated that passing game in Green Bay automatically, 816 00:42:23,028 --> 00:42:25,668 Speaker 1: and James, you've been there, You've seen that. It's certainly 817 00:42:25,788 --> 00:42:29,988 Speaker 1: a change in the energy in the culture in Denver. Also, 818 00:42:30,388 --> 00:42:32,788 Speaker 1: the two of them were hanging out at Wembley Stadium 819 00:42:32,788 --> 00:42:36,508 Speaker 1: watching Ed Sheeran, So they are bonding on and off 820 00:42:36,548 --> 00:42:39,468 Speaker 1: the field as well.

Now he gets a coach, 825 00:42:51,428 --> 00:42:54,628 Speaker 1: he says, okay, we're gonna build this offense around you, Russ. 826 00:42:54,668 --> 00:42:57,188 Speaker 1: So you do you, and we are going to go 827 00:42:57,308 --> 00:42:59,508 Speaker 1: to the super Bowl.
