Let's talk to the 39 00:01:36,668 --> 00:01:39,508 Speaker 3: Washington Commanders. They are trying to build off of an 40 00:01:39,628 --> 00:01:43,828 Speaker 3: NFC Championship Game appearance by trading involving themselves in a 41 00:01:43,908 --> 00:01:46,308 Speaker 3: trade with the Houston Texans for five time. 42 00:01:46,148 --> 00:01:48,308 Speaker 4: Pro Bowl tackle Laramie Tunzel. The veteran was. 43 00:01:48,268 --> 00:01:52,268 Speaker 3: Asked about his impact on the team protecting offensive rookie 44 00:01:52,308 --> 00:01:54,708 Speaker 3: of the Year Jayden Daniels, and Tunnel also wants you 45 00:01:54,748 --> 00:01:57,308 Speaker 3: to know he's open open to helping out in any 46 00:01:57,308 --> 00:01:58,268 Speaker 3: way he possibly can. 47 00:02:00,108 --> 00:02:01,548 Speaker 8: I'm down to do whatever they want me to do, 48 00:02:02,188 --> 00:02:05,468 Speaker 8: especially like you. They need me to play quarterback backup 49 00:02:06,268 --> 00:02:08,428 Speaker 8: Jada Daniels, then I can do that running back. 50 00:02:08,508 --> 00:02:08,828 Speaker 5: Whatever. 51 00:02:09,188 --> 00:02:11,828 Speaker 1: What is your impression of Jadon Daniels and what will 52 00:02:11,828 --> 00:02:12,588 Speaker 1: it be like block? 53 00:02:12,668 --> 00:02:14,788 Speaker 8: And for him, I can tell you is that damn 54 00:02:14,988 --> 00:02:17,868 Speaker 8: can't wait block For Jada Daniels, he's a botherer and 55 00:02:17,948 --> 00:02:20,388 Speaker 8: it's just been seeing as it's on TV and watch 56 00:02:20,428 --> 00:02:22,268 Speaker 8: a film and it seemed like he's a better dude 57 00:02:22,348 --> 00:02:25,148 Speaker 8: too that from a lot of people just run the 58 00:02:25,188 --> 00:02:29,388 Speaker 8: locker room. And his teammates from other show a couple 59 00:02:29,468 --> 00:02:32,868 Speaker 8: of times they say a good person to bother us, 60 00:02:32,868 --> 00:02:33,468 Speaker 8: So I can't wait. 61 00:02:34,108 --> 00:02:35,188 Speaker 5: Make my job really easy. 62 00:02:36,748 --> 00:02:39,228 Speaker 3: Laramie Tunzel's like, give me that Penney Sewel treatment. 63 00:02:39,308 --> 00:02:39,508 Speaker 2: I can. 64 00:02:39,708 --> 00:02:40,868 Speaker 4: I can splay out. 65 00:02:40,708 --> 00:02:42,588 Speaker 3: And take care of business offensively if you want. 66 00:02:42,588 --> 00:02:45,148 Speaker 4: But also he just wants to take care of Jadon Daniels. 67 00:02:45,308 --> 00:02:47,228 Speaker 3: Look at what the Commanders have been busy doing in 68 00:02:47,268 --> 00:02:50,068 Speaker 3: the twenty twenty five offseason. Of course the trade for 69 00:02:50,308 --> 00:02:54,948 Speaker 3: Deebo Samuel Senior to Washington, zach ERT's running it back 70 00:02:55,028 --> 00:02:56,548 Speaker 3: with the Commanders for another year, and. 71 00:02:56,468 --> 00:02:57,828 Speaker 4: Of course the veteran Bobby Wagner. 72 00:02:57,908 --> 00:03:00,148 Speaker 3: It's a lot of great additions to this team that 73 00:03:00,228 --> 00:03:03,908 Speaker 3: wants to remain prominent in a division that sits squarely 74 00:03:03,948 --> 00:03:07,588 Speaker 3: with the current Super Bowl champions. Kyle Brant, what does 75 00:03:07,628 --> 00:03:11,388 Speaker 3: success look like for the Commander, specifically for Jayden Daniels 76 00:03:11,388 --> 00:03:13,588 Speaker 3: in his second year quarterback in Washington. 77 00:03:14,908 --> 00:03:16,868 Speaker 1: It's tough because the guy was so good that you 78 00:03:16,908 --> 00:03:18,668 Speaker 1: would think success this year. 79 00:03:18,868 --> 00:03:20,948 Speaker 2: I mean, what is it? A super Bowl? Is an MVP? 80 00:03:21,228 --> 00:03:21,748 Speaker 2: Is it both? 81 00:03:22,028 --> 00:03:25,148 Speaker 1: That's how high his rookie year was. It's an incredible 82 00:03:25,588 --> 00:03:29,308 Speaker 1: historic run. But actually I look at it really pragmatically. 83 00:03:29,388 --> 00:03:31,668 Speaker 1: I look at the facts. I don't need Jade and 84 00:03:31,748 --> 00:03:32,828 Speaker 1: Daniels to walk on. 85 00:03:32,908 --> 00:03:34,668 Speaker 2: Water this year. I need him to tread water. 86 00:03:34,748 --> 00:03:37,188 Speaker 1: And by that I mean stay at the level he 87 00:03:37,308 --> 00:03:40,228 Speaker 1: was at, because a lot of guys don't. If you 88 00:03:40,268 --> 00:03:42,988 Speaker 1: look in the twenty first century, there have been ten 89 00:03:43,148 --> 00:03:46,388 Speaker 1: quarterbacks ten to win Offensive Rookie of the Year as 90 00:03:46,388 --> 00:03:50,668 Speaker 1: he did. These are everybody from Roethlisberger, Dak Prescott's, Kyler 91 00:03:50,748 --> 00:03:55,468 Speaker 1: Murray Justin Herbert. Of those ten, only one of them 92 00:03:55,668 --> 00:03:58,388 Speaker 1: won ten plus games in their second year. Only one, 93 00:03:58,468 --> 00:04:00,828 Speaker 1: and it was c. J. Stroud last year. Only three 94 00:04:00,948 --> 00:04:03,708 Speaker 1: of the ten threw more touchdowns in their second season 95 00:04:03,748 --> 00:04:07,148 Speaker 1: than their first. Only one of the ten through thirty 96 00:04:07,268 --> 00:04:11,228 Speaker 1: touchdowns in their second season, and exactly zero of the 97 00:04:11,308 --> 00:04:14,788 Speaker 1: ten Offensive Player of the Year quarterbacks had one hundred plus. 98 00:04:14,508 --> 00:04:15,788 Speaker 2: Passer rating in their second year. 99 00:04:15,908 --> 00:04:18,068 Speaker 1: It's never happened in the twenty first century that they 100 00:04:18,068 --> 00:04:20,268 Speaker 1: come out and start really down and up with the 101 00:04:20,308 --> 00:04:23,628 Speaker 1: pass teams catch up, there are injuries, you come back 102 00:04:23,668 --> 00:04:25,908 Speaker 1: down to earth a little bit. The fact that Jayden 103 00:04:25,988 --> 00:04:29,268 Speaker 1: Daniels could go and win a wildcard game next year 104 00:04:29,308 --> 00:04:30,988 Speaker 1: and play well and make the Pro Bowl would be 105 00:04:30,988 --> 00:04:34,988 Speaker 1: a huge statement. History says, these guys come back down 106 00:04:35,028 --> 00:04:37,668 Speaker 1: to earth. Now you might say this guy's different. This 107 00:04:37,708 --> 00:04:40,108 Speaker 1: guy is not History. This guy is not Dak Prescott 108 00:04:40,148 --> 00:04:42,148 Speaker 1: or Matt Ryan or any of those guys they mentioned. 109 00:04:42,188 --> 00:04:44,748 Speaker 1: He is different. And that's what's fun about this year 110 00:04:44,788 --> 00:04:47,188 Speaker 1: for Jayden Daniels. Last year was just a miracle ride. 111 00:04:47,268 --> 00:04:50,148 Speaker 1: This year we find out is going to be good? Great, 112 00:04:50,268 --> 00:04:53,308 Speaker 1: I'll take good, or is it really really going to 113 00:04:53,348 --> 00:04:56,148 Speaker 1: be special? Is he going to defy all the objective 114 00:04:56,188 --> 00:04:58,388 Speaker 1: statistics I just listed about all his peers and the 115 00:04:58,428 --> 00:05:00,588 Speaker 1: things they haven't been able to do. We find out, 116 00:05:00,668 --> 00:05:02,548 Speaker 1: but it's going to be tougher. It is going to 117 00:05:02,548 --> 00:05:04,868 Speaker 1: be a tougher schedule. I think it's a better NFC 118 00:05:04,908 --> 00:05:07,068 Speaker 1: East and the Eagles are still sitting there. 119 00:05:07,108 --> 00:05:09,028 Speaker 2: So I love what he did last year. We all 120 00:05:09,068 --> 00:05:09,668 Speaker 2: love what he did. 121 00:05:09,868 --> 00:05:12,508 Speaker 1: If he could merely repeat that, or even come close 122 00:05:12,588 --> 00:05:15,348 Speaker 1: to repeating that, he's already having a great second year. 123 00:05:15,988 --> 00:05:17,668 Speaker 2: KB. I love what you just said. What you said. 124 00:05:17,708 --> 00:05:19,428 Speaker 9: I don't need him to walk on water. I just 125 00:05:19,468 --> 00:05:22,428 Speaker 9: needed I just need him to tread in water. That's 126 00:05:22,468 --> 00:05:25,668 Speaker 9: just staying in the same spot. Just do exactly what 127 00:05:25,708 --> 00:05:28,108 Speaker 9: you did. I think a lot of that's a bar, KB, 128 00:05:28,268 --> 00:05:28,628 Speaker 9: that's a. 129 00:05:28,988 --> 00:05:31,988 Speaker 6: You don't get to decide on Instagram. 130 00:05:32,108 --> 00:05:35,028 Speaker 2: Pants is how it works. I don't know. I want 131 00:05:35,028 --> 00:05:39,828 Speaker 2: to go to the bar. I love it, but let's 132 00:05:39,828 --> 00:05:40,628 Speaker 2: talk about bars. 133 00:05:40,668 --> 00:05:43,948 Speaker 9: He set the bar high right when it talks about efficiency. 134 00:05:44,108 --> 00:05:47,388 Speaker 9: The thing I love about Jayden Daniels is he's so efficient. 135 00:05:47,468 --> 00:05:49,508 Speaker 6: He reminds me a lot about Patrick Mahomes. 136 00:05:49,708 --> 00:05:51,508 Speaker 9: The thing about Patrick is he's not going to be 137 00:05:51,548 --> 00:05:53,948 Speaker 9: a future Hall of Famer because he throws the ball 138 00:05:53,988 --> 00:05:56,268 Speaker 9: behind his back, because he throws a ball while. 139 00:05:56,148 --> 00:05:57,668 Speaker 6: He's parallel with the field he throws. 140 00:05:57,788 --> 00:05:59,628 Speaker 9: He's going to be in a Hall of Fame because 141 00:05:59,668 --> 00:06:01,028 Speaker 9: he takes what defense gives you. 142 00:06:01,108 --> 00:06:02,748 Speaker 6: He doesn't go outside of character. 143 00:06:02,828 --> 00:06:05,308 Speaker 9: He's not afraid to throw the down and you see 144 00:06:05,308 --> 00:06:06,588 Speaker 9: that a lot in Jaden Daniels. 145 00:06:06,668 --> 00:06:08,108 Speaker 2: You see his ability to. 146 00:06:08,148 --> 00:06:10,988 Speaker 9: Make those decisions, and he makes those decisions at a 147 00:06:11,028 --> 00:06:14,668 Speaker 9: higher rate and at a higher clip than most quarterbacks. Now, 148 00:06:15,068 --> 00:06:18,628 Speaker 9: the question is what does success look like for Jaden Daniels. 149 00:06:18,748 --> 00:06:21,668 Speaker 9: I'm going to echo exactly what KD said. Do exactly 150 00:06:21,748 --> 00:06:24,508 Speaker 9: what you did in your rookie year. I think sometimes 151 00:06:24,508 --> 00:06:26,508 Speaker 9: these high profile rookies that. 152 00:06:26,508 --> 00:06:28,308 Speaker 6: Are going into their second year, they get into a 153 00:06:28,308 --> 00:06:30,828 Speaker 6: lot of trouble because they think they have to one. 154 00:06:30,788 --> 00:06:32,868 Speaker 2: Up the rookie year. You don't have to one up 155 00:06:32,908 --> 00:06:33,468 Speaker 2: the rookie year. 156 00:06:33,508 --> 00:06:33,868 Speaker 5: Guys. 157 00:06:33,988 --> 00:06:34,708 Speaker 2: When you took your. 158 00:06:34,628 --> 00:06:37,228 Speaker 9: Math tests in elementary school, you didn't get an excellent 159 00:06:37,268 --> 00:06:38,308 Speaker 9: score because you've. 160 00:06:38,468 --> 00:06:40,788 Speaker 6: Solved the math equation some elaborate way. 161 00:06:40,868 --> 00:06:43,028 Speaker 9: You got an excellent score because you got all the 162 00:06:43,068 --> 00:06:43,788 Speaker 9: answers right. 163 00:06:43,948 --> 00:06:46,268 Speaker 6: There is no style points in this thing. 164 00:06:46,348 --> 00:06:49,828 Speaker 9: All it is is show up, be efficient as you've 165 00:06:49,868 --> 00:06:52,788 Speaker 9: been your whole rookie year, Jaden Daniels, and continue to 166 00:06:52,828 --> 00:06:54,988 Speaker 9: do that at a higher clip than most people. So 167 00:06:55,908 --> 00:06:58,228 Speaker 9: what does that look like. It looks exactly like your 168 00:06:58,308 --> 00:07:01,108 Speaker 9: rookiear So continue to do what you've been doing all 169 00:07:01,148 --> 00:07:03,068 Speaker 9: twenty twenty four leading into twenty twenty five. 170 00:07:03,908 --> 00:07:05,908 Speaker 7: Oh yeah, me, I just think if he just come 171 00:07:05,908 --> 00:07:08,228 Speaker 7: out with the same mindset that he did last year, 172 00:07:08,788 --> 00:07:10,388 Speaker 7: I feel like he's a great player, one of the 173 00:07:10,388 --> 00:07:13,108 Speaker 7: most pois quarterbacks that I seen in the league, especially 174 00:07:13,108 --> 00:07:15,308 Speaker 7: being that young. And I feel like the Commanders did 175 00:07:15,308 --> 00:07:18,148 Speaker 7: a good job of surrounding him with talent and guys 176 00:07:18,228 --> 00:07:21,188 Speaker 7: like Zach Ertz and Bobby Wagners. Those guys are leaders 177 00:07:21,188 --> 00:07:23,068 Speaker 7: that I feel like, you know, they can help that 178 00:07:23,148 --> 00:07:24,828 Speaker 7: he don't have to put everything on his shoulders in 179 00:07:24,908 --> 00:07:25,348 Speaker 7: year two. 180 00:07:25,628 --> 00:07:26,468 Speaker 5: Just having guys. 181 00:07:26,268 --> 00:07:29,348 Speaker 7: Around you added deebo Servia two just gives you veteran 182 00:07:29,428 --> 00:07:31,548 Speaker 7: guys that you can kind of lean on those in 183 00:07:31,548 --> 00:07:34,308 Speaker 7: those moments when the get tough, so it will be 184 00:07:34,428 --> 00:07:36,748 Speaker 7: more film on them this year. That's usually what happened, 185 00:07:36,788 --> 00:07:38,268 Speaker 7: you know, going from year one a year or two. 186 00:07:38,348 --> 00:07:40,348 Speaker 7: But I feel like if he just comes out and 187 00:07:40,468 --> 00:07:43,388 Speaker 7: keep that mindset that it don't matter I know who 188 00:07:43,428 --> 00:07:44,868 Speaker 7: I am, I feel like he'll be good. 189 00:07:44,908 --> 00:07:47,028 Speaker 3: You're checking in on the Commanders all last season from 190 00:07:47,028 --> 00:07:49,188 Speaker 3: time to time, of course, when you're busy doing your 191 00:07:49,188 --> 00:07:52,428 Speaker 3: own thing, but he did impress everybody. Jayden Daniels was 192 00:07:52,508 --> 00:07:54,988 Speaker 3: just the way he was able to maintain business conduct 193 00:07:54,988 --> 00:07:57,268 Speaker 3: bisness like this. Could you tell that he was different 194 00:07:57,268 --> 00:07:59,628 Speaker 3: in that capacity from maybe the day he was drafted 195 00:07:59,668 --> 00:08:00,988 Speaker 3: watching him all season. 196 00:08:00,788 --> 00:08:03,348 Speaker 7: Long, Yeah, I definitely could tell because I could see 197 00:08:03,388 --> 00:08:05,388 Speaker 7: coming out doing the draft process, he had a lot 198 00:08:05,388 --> 00:08:08,228 Speaker 7: of confidence, a lot of swagger to him. And when 199 00:08:08,268 --> 00:08:11,108 Speaker 7: he came in from the game one, you could see 200 00:08:11,148 --> 00:08:13,468 Speaker 7: like he was a star. And I feel like he's 201 00:08:13,468 --> 00:08:16,228 Speaker 7: just going to keep ascending in this league and disguise 202 00:08:16,228 --> 00:08:16,548 Speaker 7: and limit. 203 00:08:16,748 --> 00:08:18,068 Speaker 3: Yeah, and the flick of the wrist with the hill 204 00:08:18,148 --> 00:08:20,548 Speaker 3: Mary was impressive as well with that play. All right, 205 00:08:20,628 --> 00:08:23,148 Speaker 3: let's keep talking about the Commanders, but spin the spin 206 00:08:23,188 --> 00:08:25,068 Speaker 3: the dial forward a little bit. They were one game 207 00:08:25,108 --> 00:08:27,228 Speaker 3: away from appearing in a Super Bowl. It would have 208 00:08:27,228 --> 00:08:30,228 Speaker 3: been an incredible turnaround, and it was. But the story 209 00:08:30,268 --> 00:08:32,508 Speaker 3: for twenty twenty four would have been perfect. But if 210 00:08:32,508 --> 00:08:35,188 Speaker 3: you look back at twenty twenty three, the Commanders were 211 00:08:35,708 --> 00:08:39,148 Speaker 3: four and thirteen. But we look ahead to next season, 212 00:08:39,468 --> 00:08:41,708 Speaker 3: who do we think could pull this same thing off? 213 00:08:41,748 --> 00:08:43,588 Speaker 3: Now let's look at twenty It was the Texans in 214 00:08:43,628 --> 00:08:46,508 Speaker 3: twenty three. Twenty four was the Commanders. Man who is 215 00:08:46,548 --> 00:08:48,828 Speaker 3: the twenty twenty five version of this story? 216 00:08:49,028 --> 00:08:51,868 Speaker 9: This might this might cause a little bit of controversial 217 00:08:52,068 --> 00:08:52,388 Speaker 9: the table. 218 00:08:52,548 --> 00:08:54,628 Speaker 4: I Ki don't look right at him a bit, don't 219 00:08:54,628 --> 00:08:55,108 Speaker 4: look at him. 220 00:08:55,188 --> 00:08:57,668 Speaker 6: I like the New York Jets, guys, I really do. 221 00:08:58,108 --> 00:09:01,028 Speaker 9: I've always been a fan of on I've always been 222 00:09:01,028 --> 00:09:04,188 Speaker 9: a fan of about Justin Fields, and I said this yesterday. 223 00:09:04,668 --> 00:09:08,228 Speaker 9: There is something about a chemistry between a college quarterback 224 00:09:08,508 --> 00:09:12,308 Speaker 9: and his college receiver. Justin Fields and Garrett Wilson have 225 00:09:12,548 --> 00:09:15,988 Speaker 9: that connection. They had it at Ohio State, and I 226 00:09:16,028 --> 00:09:17,748 Speaker 9: have no doubt in my mind that they're going to 227 00:09:17,748 --> 00:09:19,948 Speaker 9: continue it over there in New York. We see that 228 00:09:20,028 --> 00:09:22,948 Speaker 9: in Cincinnati, we see that with Joe Burrow and Jamar Chase. 229 00:09:23,388 --> 00:09:25,788 Speaker 9: It's going to be the same thing I anticipated being 230 00:09:25,788 --> 00:09:28,988 Speaker 9: the same thing. Now, let's talk about what they do have. 231 00:09:28,988 --> 00:09:31,428 Speaker 6: What they did have for a number of years. 232 00:09:31,468 --> 00:09:33,388 Speaker 2: They have a really good defense. 233 00:09:33,268 --> 00:09:36,468 Speaker 9: Aaron Glenn going over there, adding a new flavor, adding 234 00:09:36,668 --> 00:09:38,508 Speaker 9: just a fresh start. I think that's going to be 235 00:09:38,508 --> 00:09:40,588 Speaker 9: really good for them. And oh, by the way, they 236 00:09:40,668 --> 00:09:42,708 Speaker 9: have a really good running back. A lot of people 237 00:09:42,748 --> 00:09:45,548 Speaker 9: ain't talking about him and Breece Hall. Breese Hall is 238 00:09:45,548 --> 00:09:47,308 Speaker 9: a top five running back in this league. A lot 239 00:09:47,308 --> 00:09:49,588 Speaker 9: of people don't remember that because all the dramas that 240 00:09:49,628 --> 00:09:50,548 Speaker 9: were happening last year. 241 00:09:50,588 --> 00:09:53,108 Speaker 6: But Breese Hall is one of the best running. 242 00:09:52,828 --> 00:09:55,348 Speaker 9: Backs, a three down running back in the NFL. So 243 00:09:55,468 --> 00:09:59,108 Speaker 9: I think the New York Jets in the twenty twenty 244 00:09:59,108 --> 00:10:01,748 Speaker 9: five NFL season have a really good chance of being 245 00:10:01,748 --> 00:10:03,388 Speaker 9: the commanders of the twenty twenty four season. 246 00:10:04,388 --> 00:10:06,508 Speaker 4: Okay, man time, all right. During make your case, make 247 00:10:06,548 --> 00:10:07,188 Speaker 4: your case. 248 00:10:07,308 --> 00:10:09,588 Speaker 7: For me, I'm gonna have to go with the Arizona Cardinals. 249 00:10:10,308 --> 00:10:12,988 Speaker 7: I feel like one one because you know, they got 250 00:10:12,988 --> 00:10:15,628 Speaker 7: my guy, Buddha Baker over there, much love over there, 251 00:10:15,628 --> 00:10:18,108 Speaker 7: big leader over there, and they got I feel like 252 00:10:18,148 --> 00:10:20,948 Speaker 7: they just brought in Josh Sweat Florida State guy. 253 00:10:20,988 --> 00:10:22,668 Speaker 5: You know, I'm very familiar. 254 00:10:22,348 --> 00:10:25,148 Speaker 7: With him also, and they're just having Cayler Murray out 255 00:10:25,188 --> 00:10:27,068 Speaker 7: there and Marvin Harrison and all the guys they have. 256 00:10:27,148 --> 00:10:29,548 Speaker 7: I feel like they can take that next step. And 257 00:10:29,908 --> 00:10:31,588 Speaker 7: they was in a lot of close games last year, 258 00:10:31,588 --> 00:10:33,188 Speaker 7: and I feel like they just put it together. 259 00:10:33,188 --> 00:10:34,428 Speaker 5: This ship they'll be red with they wanted. 260 00:10:34,548 --> 00:10:36,828 Speaker 3: I love this because we've been talking a lot of Seahawks, 261 00:10:36,868 --> 00:10:38,268 Speaker 3: a lot of what are the forty nine ers doing? 262 00:10:38,268 --> 00:10:39,988 Speaker 4: The rams always impressive during. 263 00:10:40,268 --> 00:10:43,268 Speaker 3: Just can you can you talk about about Buddha Baker. 264 00:10:43,348 --> 00:10:47,388 Speaker 3: He's so cool, but he's an underrated, undervalued star in 265 00:10:47,428 --> 00:10:47,868 Speaker 3: the league. 266 00:10:47,948 --> 00:10:49,268 Speaker 4: What makes budda Baker so good? 267 00:10:49,308 --> 00:10:50,708 Speaker 7: I feel like if you just turn the tape on, 268 00:10:50,748 --> 00:10:52,828 Speaker 7: he's playing at a different speed than everyone else. 269 00:10:52,988 --> 00:10:54,268 Speaker 5: Just his passion for the game. 270 00:10:54,788 --> 00:10:56,828 Speaker 7: He's a humble guy, and I feel like he just 271 00:10:57,028 --> 00:10:59,548 Speaker 7: leaves that locker room every time you turn the tape on. 272 00:10:59,588 --> 00:11:01,468 Speaker 7: He's in the middle of the huddle breaking it down. 273 00:11:01,508 --> 00:11:03,788 Speaker 7: So a lot of respect for Buddha. I know he's 274 00:11:03,788 --> 00:11:05,108 Speaker 7: gonna just keep sending. 275 00:11:04,868 --> 00:11:05,228 Speaker 5: In the sneak. 276 00:11:05,268 --> 00:11:06,708 Speaker 4: Also, I love us, have fired you up. 277 00:11:08,588 --> 00:11:11,108 Speaker 1: I love the Cardinals. I'm a resident Cardinals honk. But 278 00:11:11,748 --> 00:11:15,228 Speaker 1: on Buddha, Irwin, what did you think of the play 279 00:11:15,268 --> 00:11:16,948 Speaker 1: a few years back when he ran when he got 280 00:11:17,028 --> 00:11:18,708 Speaker 1: run down by DK metcalf from behind. 281 00:11:18,748 --> 00:11:20,028 Speaker 2: But that was the craziest play ever. 282 00:11:20,108 --> 00:11:22,188 Speaker 7: I felt bad for him in the moment, but I 283 00:11:22,228 --> 00:11:24,068 Speaker 7: was hoping, you know, I was proud of him for 284 00:11:24,148 --> 00:11:26,428 Speaker 7: making the pick because he took points off the board. 285 00:11:26,468 --> 00:11:27,028 Speaker 5: As a as a. 286 00:11:26,988 --> 00:11:29,668 Speaker 7: Defender, you never we never shot away from like taking 287 00:11:29,668 --> 00:11:30,428 Speaker 7: points off the board. 288 00:11:30,468 --> 00:11:31,468 Speaker 5: We don't take that for granted. 289 00:11:31,508 --> 00:11:33,868 Speaker 7: But you know, getting caught was kind of like embarrassing 290 00:11:33,868 --> 00:11:34,348 Speaker 7: from a boy. 291 00:11:34,428 --> 00:11:35,028 Speaker 5: I'm pretty sure. 292 00:11:35,548 --> 00:11:37,228 Speaker 7: I'm pretty sure if he would have ran to the 293 00:11:37,268 --> 00:11:39,028 Speaker 7: right a little bit and kind of run away from him, 294 00:11:39,268 --> 00:11:41,268 Speaker 7: kind of got to the potline, he would have been 295 00:11:41,268 --> 00:11:43,388 Speaker 7: all right. But I felt like he was just like 296 00:11:43,548 --> 00:11:45,868 Speaker 7: kind of little he felt he felt him like covering. 297 00:11:45,868 --> 00:11:50,508 Speaker 2: So get run out by somebody. 298 00:11:52,508 --> 00:11:54,948 Speaker 7: Your worst nightmare as a DV man, You kind of 299 00:11:54,988 --> 00:11:56,628 Speaker 7: just running. You want to just see that ends on 300 00:11:56,748 --> 00:11:58,988 Speaker 7: and you look over that shoulder like you feel like 301 00:11:59,028 --> 00:11:59,588 Speaker 7: somebody come. 302 00:11:59,668 --> 00:12:00,508 Speaker 5: You want that feeling. 303 00:12:00,868 --> 00:12:02,188 Speaker 7: You should have went to the right a little bit 304 00:12:02,268 --> 00:12:04,348 Speaker 7: like dot the angle to too straight? 305 00:12:04,548 --> 00:12:06,548 Speaker 4: Yeah, yeah, too predictable. 306 00:12:08,828 --> 00:12:12,868 Speaker 7: Yeah, you gotta get away from you gotta get away from. 307 00:12:12,588 --> 00:12:15,268 Speaker 1: It's like that, you know in in Jurassic Park, the 308 00:12:15,388 --> 00:12:18,468 Speaker 1: t Rex is in the rearview mirror and it says might. 309 00:12:18,348 --> 00:12:18,788 Speaker 5: Be close on. 310 00:12:22,228 --> 00:12:23,308 Speaker 2: You got a bag man. 311 00:12:25,348 --> 00:12:27,588 Speaker 1: That's the problem that you guys like Buddha and guys 312 00:12:27,588 --> 00:12:29,828 Speaker 1: like you, you never had the zag in your life. 313 00:12:31,548 --> 00:12:31,748 Speaker 5: Time. 314 00:12:33,308 --> 00:12:35,228 Speaker 2: So listen when it comes. 315 00:12:34,988 --> 00:12:37,588 Speaker 1: To Derwin, this is when you if you're eventually doing 316 00:12:37,628 --> 00:12:39,908 Speaker 1: this after you play and then you're retired and you're 317 00:12:39,948 --> 00:12:41,788 Speaker 1: you're going to do media full time, which you should, 318 00:12:42,108 --> 00:12:44,628 Speaker 1: You're going to be forced to pick playoff teams. All right, 319 00:12:44,668 --> 00:12:46,708 Speaker 1: it's just what we do. When it's September. You got 320 00:12:46,708 --> 00:12:48,868 Speaker 1: to say, here's the teams we're gonna make the playoffs, 321 00:12:48,908 --> 00:12:51,708 Speaker 1: and it's it's very difficult. So any wisdom that I 322 00:12:51,708 --> 00:12:54,428 Speaker 1: would impart, I always say, when you're trying to pick 323 00:12:54,468 --> 00:12:58,228 Speaker 1: the playoff teams, just pick based on the head coaches. 324 00:12:58,388 --> 00:13:01,708 Speaker 1: Try to ignore the pick the good coaches. To that point, 325 00:13:01,948 --> 00:13:03,948 Speaker 1: I picked the Chargers to make the playoffs last year. 326 00:13:03,988 --> 00:13:06,228 Speaker 1: I did think you guys would make the playoffs. It's 327 00:13:06,268 --> 00:13:09,268 Speaker 1: because I like the roster, but I love coach Harbaugh. 328 00:13:10,468 --> 00:13:13,588 Speaker 1: I'm picking the Patriots to be this year's breakout team. Now, 329 00:13:13,628 --> 00:13:16,428 Speaker 1: granted it's March, we're sitting here. It's months and months away. 330 00:13:16,788 --> 00:13:20,948 Speaker 1: But pick the coaches. They've got Mike Vrabel there, They've 331 00:13:20,948 --> 00:13:24,188 Speaker 1: got Josh McDaniels there. This is not an exact comp 332 00:13:24,268 --> 00:13:26,548 Speaker 1: for who will be this year's Commanders because they're not 333 00:13:26,588 --> 00:13:28,948 Speaker 1: going to have a rookie quarterback like the Commanders did. 334 00:13:29,068 --> 00:13:30,468 Speaker 1: They're going to have a guy who already has a 335 00:13:30,548 --> 00:13:32,788 Speaker 1: year under his belt and a coach who's come in 336 00:13:32,828 --> 00:13:35,268 Speaker 1: and started stuffing the roster with a bunch of like 337 00:13:35,588 --> 00:13:37,748 Speaker 1: dip packing ass kickers. 338 00:13:37,348 --> 00:13:39,868 Speaker 2: Just like himself. It's what I like now. 339 00:13:40,148 --> 00:13:43,108 Speaker 1: Not only that the Patriots have the number four pick, 340 00:13:43,508 --> 00:13:45,708 Speaker 1: which I believe they're going to use to select a 341 00:13:45,788 --> 00:13:48,268 Speaker 1: left tackle, which they could probably even trade back and 342 00:13:48,388 --> 00:13:50,668 Speaker 1: still do. They bring in Matt Collins, which is a 343 00:13:50,668 --> 00:13:52,828 Speaker 1: pretty good piece, and he's back with Josh McDaniels, who 344 00:13:52,868 --> 00:13:56,868 Speaker 1: has experience with but just more importantly, try to get 345 00:13:56,908 --> 00:13:58,708 Speaker 1: the teams that are ascending on the way up. If 346 00:13:58,708 --> 00:14:01,148 Speaker 1: you look at the AFC East, I'm not sold on 347 00:14:01,188 --> 00:14:04,108 Speaker 1: the Jets with Justin Field or Aaron glenyent Glen yet, 348 00:14:04,468 --> 00:14:06,548 Speaker 1: I don't know if McDaniel could still hold it together 349 00:14:06,588 --> 00:14:08,468 Speaker 1: in Miami and Buffalo. 350 00:14:08,908 --> 00:14:10,148 Speaker 2: Listen, Buffalo's Buffalo. 351 00:14:10,188 --> 00:14:13,428 Speaker 1: But Braybill just handpicked like three or four Josh Allen 352 00:14:13,508 --> 00:14:16,308 Speaker 1: wranglers to put on his defense whose sole purpose is 353 00:14:16,348 --> 00:14:18,388 Speaker 1: going to be to chase pick number seventeen around. 354 00:14:18,828 --> 00:14:21,828 Speaker 2: Believe in the coaches. Of course, their roster is flawed. 355 00:14:21,468 --> 00:14:23,628 Speaker 1: And they need wide receiver help, and Drake me needs this. 356 00:14:24,428 --> 00:14:27,468 Speaker 1: Believe in the coaches and you stick with them and 357 00:14:27,548 --> 00:14:29,308 Speaker 1: ride with them. That's the way you make the picks. 358 00:14:29,348 --> 00:14:32,588 Speaker 1: If you start chasing quarterbacks, you'll be wrong pick coaches. 359 00:14:32,628 --> 00:14:33,868 Speaker 2: I picked Brabell on this one. 360 00:14:34,148 --> 00:14:36,068 Speaker 3: It was a very splashy first couple of days with 361 00:14:36,068 --> 00:14:38,868 Speaker 3: the Patriots. Kyle I like that pick. I don't know 362 00:14:38,908 --> 00:14:40,948 Speaker 3: if it's going to fulfill the destiny of making it 363 00:14:40,988 --> 00:14:43,788 Speaker 3: onto Kyle's board for the playoffs. One team that Kyle 364 00:14:43,828 --> 00:14:46,628 Speaker 3: did have in the playoffs in September of last year, 365 00:14:46,628 --> 00:14:48,268 Speaker 3: and I actually can't believe we go around the table. 366 00:14:48,308 --> 00:14:49,508 Speaker 4: We didn't pick this team to be the. 367 00:14:49,508 --> 00:14:52,228 Speaker 3: Twenty twenty five version of the Commanders last year is 368 00:14:52,348 --> 00:14:54,708 Speaker 3: the Chicago Bears. I have to keep circling back to 369 00:14:54,748 --> 00:14:57,228 Speaker 3: the Bears. Speaking of objects closer in the mirror than 370 00:14:57,228 --> 00:14:59,508 Speaker 3: you want them to appear. If you're a Vikings fan, 371 00:14:59,588 --> 00:15:03,308 Speaker 3: let's just pretend like you are. I'm a little worried 372 00:15:03,308 --> 00:15:05,668 Speaker 3: about what the Bears are doing in my rearview mirror. 373 00:15:05,868 --> 00:15:08,668 Speaker 3: It doesn't feel great because I've already got the Lions 374 00:15:08,708 --> 00:15:11,308 Speaker 3: and the Packers ahead of me, and you're just trying 375 00:15:11,348 --> 00:15:14,308 Speaker 3: to stay and speaking of treading water afloat in this division, 376 00:15:14,588 --> 00:15:16,428 Speaker 3: now you've got the Bears, who I believe, if you're 377 00:15:16,428 --> 00:15:19,548 Speaker 3: looking at the head coach definitively got better with Ben 378 00:15:19,628 --> 00:15:23,348 Speaker 3: Johnson coming over from Detroit. I think this man is brilliant. 379 00:15:23,388 --> 00:15:25,508 Speaker 3: And I think the fact that on his third time 380 00:15:25,628 --> 00:15:28,588 Speaker 3: round of head coaching interviews, pick of the litter this 381 00:15:28,628 --> 00:15:31,108 Speaker 3: guy had. He could have gone to Carolina, he could 382 00:15:31,108 --> 00:15:33,788 Speaker 3: have gone to Washington. He chooses to go in the 383 00:15:33,868 --> 00:15:35,588 Speaker 3: division in Chicago with. 384 00:15:35,588 --> 00:15:39,308 Speaker 4: A quarterback that had just a hellish landscape as a rookie. 385 00:15:39,628 --> 00:15:41,868 Speaker 3: And I'm looking at Kayleb Williams that if you see 386 00:15:41,868 --> 00:15:44,508 Speaker 3: what Jayden Daniels did last year in Washington and the 387 00:15:44,548 --> 00:15:46,668 Speaker 3: praise that he got and the awards that he won 388 00:15:46,748 --> 00:15:49,668 Speaker 3: and his appearance in an NFC title game as a rookie, 389 00:15:50,268 --> 00:15:53,228 Speaker 3: I'm really mad. I'm competitive as hell. I want to 390 00:15:53,268 --> 00:15:55,068 Speaker 3: get this team right. I want to start swimming in 391 00:15:55,108 --> 00:15:57,628 Speaker 3: the right direction. And with that new head coach and 392 00:15:57,708 --> 00:16:00,988 Speaker 3: the head coaching tests and that quarterback and the things 393 00:16:00,988 --> 00:16:03,148 Speaker 3: that the changes that this team made on the offensive 394 00:16:03,188 --> 00:16:05,868 Speaker 3: line and the defense that played all right last. 395 00:16:05,708 --> 00:16:07,148 Speaker 4: Year with the Chicago Bears. 396 00:16:07,468 --> 00:16:09,388 Speaker 3: I like the Bears for being the twenty twenty five 397 00:16:09,468 --> 00:16:11,508 Speaker 3: version of this come from behind team. 398 00:16:11,748 --> 00:16:13,148 Speaker 4: You like that Bears defense at all? 399 00:16:13,268 --> 00:16:13,508 Speaker 5: Do you? What? 400 00:16:13,548 --> 00:16:14,708 Speaker 4: Do you watch them from the table? 401 00:16:14,828 --> 00:16:17,068 Speaker 7: I definitely, I definitely like the Bears defense. They got 402 00:16:17,108 --> 00:16:20,148 Speaker 7: a lot of like playmakers. Jalen Johnson Eco, Yeah, I 403 00:16:20,228 --> 00:16:21,948 Speaker 7: like him a lot, A lot of guys over there 404 00:16:22,068 --> 00:16:24,588 Speaker 7: I like so all right, I feel like the upcoming 405 00:16:24,588 --> 00:16:25,188 Speaker 7: team for sure. 406 00:16:25,228 --> 00:16:26,508 Speaker 4: Okay, cool, what. 407 00:16:26,468 --> 00:16:28,148 Speaker 9: Do you like? I love the Bears, and I love 408 00:16:28,148 --> 00:16:29,828 Speaker 9: the Bears because of this their defense. A lot of 409 00:16:29,868 --> 00:16:32,388 Speaker 9: people don't realize, but they probably won't remember because of 410 00:16:32,428 --> 00:16:35,348 Speaker 9: the entirety of the twenty twenty fourth season. For about 411 00:16:35,388 --> 00:16:38,348 Speaker 9: five weeks right KB, they were one of the best 412 00:16:38,348 --> 00:16:39,868 Speaker 9: defenses that taking the ball away. 413 00:16:40,188 --> 00:16:41,868 Speaker 6: I remember watching the Tennessee game. 414 00:16:42,108 --> 00:16:47,148 Speaker 9: They had probably like two three touchdowns that weren't offensive touchdowns. 415 00:16:46,988 --> 00:16:48,828 Speaker 2: That's how good that team is. 416 00:16:48,868 --> 00:16:52,428 Speaker 9: Now, what people don't realize is a team a defensive 417 00:16:52,428 --> 00:16:53,228 Speaker 9: squad and derwin. 418 00:16:53,588 --> 00:16:54,668 Speaker 2: Like, let me know what, you think. 419 00:16:55,428 --> 00:16:58,788 Speaker 9: It's hard to go ten plays on a drive, then 420 00:16:58,788 --> 00:17:00,708 Speaker 9: your offense go out and they go three and out. 421 00:17:00,708 --> 00:17:01,348 Speaker 2: Then you have to go. 422 00:17:01,268 --> 00:17:04,548 Speaker 9: Ten, ten to twelve plays again offense comes back three. 423 00:17:04,188 --> 00:17:09,228 Speaker 9: That compounding of workload, it just starts to wear on you. 424 00:17:09,268 --> 00:17:12,068 Speaker 9: And if you go through a seventeen game season and 425 00:17:12,108 --> 00:17:15,348 Speaker 9: that's kind of what the tempo is like as a defender, 426 00:17:15,828 --> 00:17:17,828 Speaker 9: you start to break down. Like any car, you start 427 00:17:17,868 --> 00:17:19,308 Speaker 9: to break down a little bit, and we saw that 428 00:17:19,348 --> 00:17:21,988 Speaker 9: a little bit with that Chicago Bears defense. And so 429 00:17:22,068 --> 00:17:24,588 Speaker 9: if they're able to do things what Ben Johnson has 430 00:17:24,628 --> 00:17:26,988 Speaker 9: able to do with the Detroit Lions and do that 431 00:17:27,108 --> 00:17:30,348 Speaker 9: offensively for the Chicago Bears, it's going to be a 432 00:17:30,388 --> 00:17:32,508 Speaker 9: more balanced approach to the Bears, and I think that's 433 00:17:32,508 --> 00:17:34,268 Speaker 9: going to put them in a better position heading into 434 00:17:34,268 --> 00:17:34,628 Speaker 9: this year. 435 00:17:34,748 --> 00:17:36,668 Speaker 4: All right, those are our predictions. 436 00:17:36,668 --> 00:17:39,068 Speaker 3: It's a frightening day in March, and that means we 437 00:17:39,108 --> 00:17:40,948 Speaker 3: are going to get held to this take for the 438 00:17:41,028 --> 00:17:42,948 Speaker 3: next six months and we have to maybe put those 439 00:17:42,948 --> 00:17:43,828 Speaker 3: teams in the playoffs. 440 00:17:43,828 --> 00:17:48,308 Speaker 4: We'll see. All right, we're back on GMFB. 441 00:17:48,588 --> 00:17:50,508 Speaker 3: We're going to roll a game out that we love 442 00:17:50,588 --> 00:17:51,948 Speaker 3: playing on this show. 443 00:17:52,108 --> 00:17:53,548 Speaker 4: Buying or keep trying. 444 00:17:53,628 --> 00:17:56,308 Speaker 3: I'm going to say a statement, Derwin, and you got 445 00:17:56,348 --> 00:17:58,788 Speaker 3: to say, I'm buying what you're putting out or keep trying. 446 00:17:58,788 --> 00:17:59,468 Speaker 4: Give me something else. 447 00:17:59,468 --> 00:18:01,708 Speaker 3: All Right, Manti, you're going to go first on this 448 00:18:01,748 --> 00:18:05,308 Speaker 3: first statement, Go Manti Derwin Kyle, and we're going to 449 00:18:05,388 --> 00:18:07,828 Speaker 3: talk the Atlanta Falcons first up, Buying or keep trying. 450 00:18:07,908 --> 00:18:08,228 Speaker 2: Let's go. 451 00:18:08,428 --> 00:18:11,548 Speaker 3: Kirk Cousins is currently the backup to Michael Pennock Junior 452 00:18:11,588 --> 00:18:12,348 Speaker 3: in Atlanta. 453 00:18:12,388 --> 00:18:13,188 Speaker 4: Here's the statement. 454 00:18:13,388 --> 00:18:16,148 Speaker 3: Kirk Cousins will start the twenty twenty five NFL season 455 00:18:16,428 --> 00:18:19,348 Speaker 3: on the Falcons roster with his name second on the 456 00:18:19,388 --> 00:18:22,428 Speaker 3: depth chart. Mandye, are you buying this or keep trying? 457 00:18:23,028 --> 00:18:25,148 Speaker 9: I'm going to say I'm going to keep trying on yeah. 458 00:18:25,188 --> 00:18:27,228 Speaker 9: And the reason why is because I'm buying the fact 459 00:18:27,308 --> 00:18:29,748 Speaker 9: that Kirk Cousins can go somewhere else and play as 460 00:18:29,748 --> 00:18:32,508 Speaker 9: a QB one somewhere else in the NFL. 461 00:18:32,188 --> 00:18:33,188 Speaker 2: That really needs a quarterback. 462 00:18:33,268 --> 00:18:35,148 Speaker 9: Let's look at all of the teams I need a quarterback. 463 00:18:35,388 --> 00:18:37,868 Speaker 9: New York Giants, Brian Daball, I don't think he goes there. 464 00:18:37,908 --> 00:18:39,868 Speaker 9: I don't think it's a good fit because Brian Daball 465 00:18:39,948 --> 00:18:42,748 Speaker 9: loves those dual threat quarterbacks like Josh Allen, Daniel Jones, 466 00:18:43,108 --> 00:18:46,468 Speaker 9: Pittsburgh Arthur Smith. I don't think he goes there either 467 00:18:46,508 --> 00:18:49,428 Speaker 9: because they're run first, heavy approach, and we saw a 468 00:18:49,468 --> 00:18:51,908 Speaker 9: little bit last year his hitch struggles of trying to 469 00:18:51,908 --> 00:18:54,068 Speaker 9: get to Jon Robinson in those stretch plays. 470 00:18:54,388 --> 00:18:55,548 Speaker 2: I don't think that's a good fit. 471 00:18:55,588 --> 00:19:00,188 Speaker 9: However, Cleveland, they do need a quarterback now. When you 472 00:19:00,228 --> 00:19:02,348 Speaker 9: saw Jamis Winston, And we talked about this yesterday. 473 00:19:02,348 --> 00:19:02,908 Speaker 2: When you saw. 474 00:19:02,828 --> 00:19:05,108 Speaker 9: Jamis Winston come into the game and he took over 475 00:19:05,148 --> 00:19:07,748 Speaker 9: a little bit. Not only did it kind of bring 476 00:19:07,828 --> 00:19:10,548 Speaker 9: that team together, but you saw Jerry Judy's production go 477 00:19:10,708 --> 00:19:13,708 Speaker 9: up all of a sudden. Jerry Judy is fantasy owner's 478 00:19:13,788 --> 00:19:16,028 Speaker 9: best friend, and we saw that a little bit last 479 00:19:16,068 --> 00:19:18,788 Speaker 9: year heading into the second half of the season. So 480 00:19:18,948 --> 00:19:20,868 Speaker 9: I can see him going to a place like Cleveland. 481 00:19:21,508 --> 00:19:24,548 Speaker 9: Now you talk about Tennessee. Tennessee is another one of 482 00:19:24,548 --> 00:19:27,108 Speaker 9: those teams where you could have, you could benefit from 483 00:19:27,108 --> 00:19:30,308 Speaker 9: having somebody like Kirk Cousins on your roster, whether he's 484 00:19:30,348 --> 00:19:32,868 Speaker 9: a backup or even a QB one. And Calvin Ridley 485 00:19:32,868 --> 00:19:36,468 Speaker 9: will really love somebody like him, So keep trying on 486 00:19:36,828 --> 00:19:39,308 Speaker 9: the starter for the Falcons or on the roster for 487 00:19:39,388 --> 00:19:41,268 Speaker 9: the Falcons. But I'm buying the fact that he can 488 00:19:41,268 --> 00:19:42,428 Speaker 9: still be a QB one. 489 00:19:42,348 --> 00:19:44,748 Speaker 5: All right for me, I'm buying. I'm buying. 490 00:19:44,788 --> 00:19:47,828 Speaker 7: I feel like he's a veteran improving quarterback and I 491 00:19:47,868 --> 00:19:50,628 Speaker 7: feel like year at the year he's making plays out there. 492 00:19:50,668 --> 00:19:52,548 Speaker 7: So I feel like this team needy team that's going 493 00:19:52,628 --> 00:19:54,588 Speaker 7: to need a quarterback, and I feel like he could 494 00:19:54,588 --> 00:19:57,508 Speaker 7: come out and make that bettering impact that you need 495 00:19:57,548 --> 00:20:01,548 Speaker 7: out there very early and confident. So I feel like 496 00:20:02,028 --> 00:20:03,668 Speaker 7: Kurt's a guy that you can definitely put out there 497 00:20:03,668 --> 00:20:05,388 Speaker 7: and play for sure, Kyle. 498 00:20:06,668 --> 00:20:08,828 Speaker 2: When you ever get them? You ever picked Cousins? I 499 00:20:08,868 --> 00:20:10,148 Speaker 2: love these stories. You ever get them? 500 00:20:10,148 --> 00:20:10,988 Speaker 5: Why you do that? Cale? 501 00:20:13,148 --> 00:20:16,308 Speaker 7: Come on, bring up the videoto, somebody come with the 502 00:20:16,388 --> 00:20:20,308 Speaker 7: video so I know you just put me on the 503 00:20:20,308 --> 00:20:22,828 Speaker 7: spot again. But I gottam last year. 504 00:20:23,428 --> 00:20:24,828 Speaker 5: I like her? Oh you did? 505 00:20:25,108 --> 00:20:28,188 Speaker 1: Yeah, Hey, listen, I'd rather show you picking off Kirk 506 00:20:28,228 --> 00:20:30,428 Speaker 1: Cousins than poor Buddha Baker getting run down again. 507 00:20:30,628 --> 00:20:32,148 Speaker 2: That was out of nowhere. Man, that was like a 508 00:20:32,188 --> 00:20:34,388 Speaker 2: sucker punch. I don't know why that. 509 00:20:34,428 --> 00:20:37,068 Speaker 10: I didn't even want to bring up. Don't bring it 510 00:20:37,148 --> 00:20:41,268 Speaker 10: up again no more. I know, I don't have my 511 00:20:41,268 --> 00:20:43,828 Speaker 10: finger on the button. Listen, I'm I'm going to say 512 00:20:44,388 --> 00:20:47,028 Speaker 10: I'm buying this one. He's going to start the season 513 00:20:47,028 --> 00:20:48,868 Speaker 10: on the Falcons rush. I think the Falcons and I 514 00:20:48,948 --> 00:20:51,828 Speaker 10: even think Cousins kind of just sitting back right now 515 00:20:51,988 --> 00:20:53,588 Speaker 10: and we're saying we're gonna we're gonna wait and see 516 00:20:53,588 --> 00:20:54,548 Speaker 10: how this thing plays out. 517 00:20:54,788 --> 00:20:57,348 Speaker 2: We got our young quarterback that we love. We got 518 00:20:57,388 --> 00:20:58,748 Speaker 2: our old quarterback. 519 00:20:58,268 --> 00:21:00,548 Speaker 1: That we totally loved him, and ten seconds later drafted 520 00:21:00,548 --> 00:21:01,028 Speaker 1: a young one. 521 00:21:01,028 --> 00:21:03,748 Speaker 2: But we're just gonna chill. We're not gonna do anything crazy. 522 00:21:03,828 --> 00:21:07,548 Speaker 1: And if something happens where like the teams that Mansi mentioned, 523 00:21:07,628 --> 00:21:09,628 Speaker 1: the Giants get left out in the cold or the 524 00:21:09,628 --> 00:21:11,588 Speaker 1: Steelers get left out in the cold and they come 525 00:21:11,668 --> 00:21:15,148 Speaker 1: calling for cousins, then maybe we'll talk turkey. What gets 526 00:21:15,188 --> 00:21:17,388 Speaker 1: interesting about it is if let's jump to some huge 527 00:21:17,428 --> 00:21:20,268 Speaker 1: hypothetical where the Giants call the Falcons and say. 528 00:21:20,108 --> 00:21:21,348 Speaker 2: We'd like to trade for Kirk. 529 00:21:21,988 --> 00:21:24,788 Speaker 1: Kirk has no trade in his deal because he always 530 00:21:24,788 --> 00:21:28,388 Speaker 1: has the best deals. So Kirk could say, that's wonderful. 531 00:21:28,508 --> 00:21:31,268 Speaker 1: But I'm not moving to New Jersey right now. My 532 00:21:31,348 --> 00:21:33,548 Speaker 1: wife and my two sons are going to stay right 533 00:21:33,588 --> 00:21:36,828 Speaker 1: here in Georgia where we have family connections. And fine, 534 00:21:36,908 --> 00:21:39,108 Speaker 1: I'll be in the dome and I'll help young Penix 535 00:21:39,148 --> 00:21:40,468 Speaker 1: and if he gets hurt, I'll come in and be 536 00:21:40,508 --> 00:21:40,868 Speaker 1: the hero. 537 00:21:41,068 --> 00:21:43,388 Speaker 2: So I do think he's going to be there. 538 00:21:43,748 --> 00:21:47,188 Speaker 1: It's also like, it's not this backbreaking money that's going on. 539 00:21:47,548 --> 00:21:50,548 Speaker 1: You got Penix on a rookie contract. You got Cousins, 540 00:21:50,588 --> 00:21:52,748 Speaker 1: who a lot of the money is not till next year. 541 00:21:52,788 --> 00:21:55,028 Speaker 1: It's like it's not as overwhelming as you think. So 542 00:21:55,428 --> 00:21:57,508 Speaker 1: I don't think the Falcons are looking to trade him. 543 00:21:57,868 --> 00:22:01,188 Speaker 1: And as much as Kirk is a competitor, listen, do 544 00:22:01,228 --> 00:22:02,588 Speaker 1: you want to go and you want to move the 545 00:22:02,628 --> 00:22:04,708 Speaker 1: whole family or keep them there and go and move 546 00:22:04,748 --> 00:22:06,708 Speaker 1: to Cleveland, Ohio to try to get the Browns off 547 00:22:06,708 --> 00:22:07,028 Speaker 1: the turn. 548 00:22:07,508 --> 00:22:09,228 Speaker 2: I don't, and I don't think he does. 549 00:22:09,268 --> 00:22:10,988 Speaker 1: I think he is a lot of things, but I 550 00:22:10,988 --> 00:22:14,188 Speaker 1: think it is very very business savvy and very smart. 551 00:22:14,508 --> 00:22:18,628 Speaker 1: And to jump to Pittsburgh, Cleveland and New Jersey from Atlanta, 552 00:22:18,748 --> 00:22:20,228 Speaker 1: I think he'll be there to start the season. 553 00:22:20,228 --> 00:22:21,868 Speaker 3: I do not for not that I think the Falcons 554 00:22:21,908 --> 00:22:24,388 Speaker 3: are playing this brilliantly too, because not only do you 555 00:22:24,388 --> 00:22:27,108 Speaker 3: have quarterback needy teams now that could send the house 556 00:22:27,108 --> 00:22:29,708 Speaker 3: for Kirk, you also could wait into the season. 557 00:22:29,948 --> 00:22:32,068 Speaker 4: A guy goes down, a team needs somebody. 558 00:22:32,188 --> 00:22:35,188 Speaker 3: We're looking at September October, and Kirk Cousins, who is 559 00:22:35,228 --> 00:22:37,708 Speaker 3: now a full year and a half removed from his 560 00:22:37,828 --> 00:22:41,708 Speaker 3: achilles surgery and rehab, is looking mighty fine if you're 561 00:22:41,708 --> 00:22:44,108 Speaker 3: a team. So it's not just desperation. Now it's when 562 00:22:44,108 --> 00:22:46,628 Speaker 3: the season begins as well. Kirk Cousins is a proven quarterback, 563 00:22:46,788 --> 00:22:48,548 Speaker 3: regardless of what jersey he's wearing. 564 00:22:48,748 --> 00:22:49,428 Speaker 4: Manta. 565 00:22:49,588 --> 00:22:52,388 Speaker 3: Moving on to the second topic and Drwin, you two 566 00:22:52,748 --> 00:22:55,508 Speaker 3: keep it clean here, all right, all right, Manti played 567 00:22:55,508 --> 00:22:56,108 Speaker 3: at Notre Dame. 568 00:22:56,188 --> 00:22:56,548 Speaker 6: We know this. 569 00:22:56,708 --> 00:22:59,508 Speaker 3: Drwin, you played at Florida State.

I'm like, man, you're a 848 00:34:57,068 --> 00:34:58,548 Speaker 7: big guy, you know, being a quarterback. 849 00:34:58,668 --> 00:35:00,388 Speaker 5: You know. I didn't know much about him at the time. 850 00:35:00,428 --> 00:35:02,108 Speaker 7: You know, he was playing at Wyoming, so I didn't 851 00:35:02,428 --> 00:35:05,028 Speaker 7: really know much about him. Like, but when he came 852 00:35:05,068 --> 00:35:07,148 Speaker 7: into this league and I played in the second game 853 00:35:07,148 --> 00:35:09,268 Speaker 7: of the season, I'm like, Wow, this guy's really good. 854 00:35:09,388 --> 00:35:10,308 Speaker 5: He's gonna be really good. 855 00:35:10,308 --> 00:35:14,468 Speaker 7: And the whole class from Baker Mayfield, Sam Donald, Lamar, 856 00:35:14,908 --> 00:35:17,948 Speaker 7: like that, all those quarterbacks are like top guys in 857 00:35:17,988 --> 00:35:20,988 Speaker 7: this league still today and I feel like still going 858 00:35:21,028 --> 00:35:21,548 Speaker 7: to keep it going. 859 00:35:21,668 --> 00:35:23,908 Speaker 9: Yeah, we've been talking about quarterbacks. There's a running back 860 00:35:24,108 --> 00:35:26,348 Speaker 9: drafted to New York Giants and Segwoon Park. Then we 861 00:35:26,388 --> 00:35:29,588 Speaker 9: saw Polly one of the most incredible plays I've ever 862 00:35:29,628 --> 00:35:32,948 Speaker 9: seen on live television when he first hurdled over. 863 00:35:32,788 --> 00:35:36,068 Speaker 2: At Jacksonville Jaguars. This is crazy wow reaction. 864 00:35:36,268 --> 00:35:39,188 Speaker 9: We saw what the sideline's reaction was, But what was 865 00:35:39,228 --> 00:35:40,508 Speaker 9: your reaction when you saw this place? 866 00:35:40,788 --> 00:35:43,268 Speaker 5: Like what are you own? Like, like what are you doing? 867 00:35:43,308 --> 00:35:44,028 Speaker 5: What are you thinking? 868 00:35:44,108 --> 00:35:45,988 Speaker 7: What you what are you thinking in this moment to 869 00:35:46,028 --> 00:35:48,268 Speaker 7: make you do this? Like like I don't know what 870 00:35:48,348 --> 00:35:50,108 Speaker 7: made him think about doing that. 871 00:35:50,108 --> 00:35:50,588 Speaker 5: That's like. 872 00:35:52,228 --> 00:35:55,028 Speaker 3: Another time where you're probably like that defender and we 873 00:35:55,108 --> 00:35:56,668 Speaker 3: used to talk about him all the time. I can't 874 00:35:56,788 --> 00:35:58,228 Speaker 3: remember his name out the top of my head. But 875 00:35:58,308 --> 00:36:00,788 Speaker 3: like that poor kid is gonna add that. He's a rookie. 876 00:36:00,828 --> 00:36:03,188 Speaker 3: I believe for Jacksonville he's gonna have to live that 877 00:36:03,228 --> 00:36:05,948 Speaker 3: one down and maybe he'll change his trajectory. But that's 878 00:36:05,988 --> 00:36:07,868 Speaker 3: a highlight that will go down. It's kind of the 879 00:36:07,908 --> 00:36:09,948 Speaker 3: Jordan logo now, at least for the twenty twenty fourth 880 00:36:09,988 --> 00:36:10,868 Speaker 3: season for the NFL
