Good Morning, Oh Yeah, Dream Team. We 3 00:00:26,548 --> 00:00:28,788 Speaker 1: are here. I am Kyle Brandon, as we'll sell the 4 00:00:28,868 --> 00:00:31,628 Speaker 1: Ashaaharan Peter Strigger. One of these faces you're looking at 5 00:00:31,708 --> 00:00:34,348 Speaker 1: right now thinks the Brown should reach out to Baker Mayfield. 6 00:00:34,508 --> 00:00:36,948 Speaker 1: And one of these faces has still not seen top 7 00:00:36,948 --> 00:00:39,588 Speaker 1: Gun Maverick. Who done it? Who said it? We got 8 00:00:39,588 --> 00:00:41,628 Speaker 1: three hours to figure it out. Guys. Let's get after 9 00:00:41,668 --> 00:00:44,708 Speaker 1: the lead block of the program Good Morning Football on 10 00:00:44,708 --> 00:00:46,388 Speaker 1: a Wednesday. We start with the bank lead block in 11 00:00:46,428 --> 00:00:50,468 Speaker 1: AFC champions Guys. Joe Mixon, go. Joe Mixon went to 12 00:00:50,548 --> 00:00:52,988 Speaker 1: the Pro Bowl last year and he had something to 13 00:00:53,148 --> 00:00:57,188 Speaker 1: say about some prospects or maybe some doubters going into 14 00:00:57,308 --> 00:01:01,348 Speaker 1: this year. He told KPIX. Listen what Mixon had to say. Quote, 15 00:01:02,028 --> 00:01:04,308 Speaker 1: I feel like we might be the hottest thing smoke 16 00:01:04,628 --> 00:01:07,028 Speaker 1: in the NFL on Sundays with the talent we got 17 00:01:07,348 --> 00:01:09,948 Speaker 1: and who we added onto this year. I feel like 18 00:01:09,988 --> 00:01:11,948 Speaker 1: we're bound to have a hell of a season. The 19 00:01:11,988 --> 00:01:14,628 Speaker 1: best thing about it is we've been there before and 20 00:01:14,708 --> 00:01:17,148 Speaker 1: we know how to get there. We've just got to 21 00:01:17,228 --> 00:01:20,428 Speaker 1: stick to the basics. One week at a time, and 22 00:01:20,588 --> 00:01:24,468 Speaker 1: that's what's good gonna happen. How about Joe the hottest 23 00:01:24,468 --> 00:01:27,308 Speaker 1: things smoking on Sunday. It's a great quote from a really, 24 00:01:27,308 --> 00:01:29,388 Speaker 1: really good player. You know, we were talking about this 25 00:01:29,508 --> 00:01:32,508 Speaker 1: yesterday and Peter brought up the idea that why aren't 26 00:01:32,548 --> 00:01:35,908 Speaker 1: the Bengals getting more run as the AFC favorites over 27 00:01:35,988 --> 00:01:38,948 Speaker 1: Buffalo over Kansas City. Let's even walk that back a 28 00:01:38,948 --> 00:01:41,708 Speaker 1: little bit, Guys, AFC North one of the more mere 29 00:01:41,748 --> 00:01:45,028 Speaker 1: curial divisions we've got going on this offseason? Can we 30 00:01:45,108 --> 00:01:47,948 Speaker 1: say for certain that the twenty twenty two Bengals our 31 00:01:48,068 --> 00:01:51,348 Speaker 1: favorites in their own division? Super Bowl champion Shawn O'Hara, 32 00:01:51,388 --> 00:01:53,108 Speaker 1: what do you think? Yeah? I love the theme here. 33 00:01:53,148 --> 00:01:55,188 Speaker 1: We got smoking Joe, we got smoke a Joe Mixon 34 00:01:55,308 --> 00:01:58,588 Speaker 1: talking about smoking Joe Burrow. The lasting image I have 35 00:01:58,748 --> 00:02:01,628 Speaker 1: of Burrow's college career is him posted up with that 36 00:02:01,708 --> 00:02:04,148 Speaker 1: cigar after winning the Natty. When you look at the 37 00:02:04,508 --> 00:02:07,788 Speaker 1: goals as we narrowed down into this conference and the 38 00:02:07,828 --> 00:02:10,148 Speaker 1: AFC North, we talk about T shirts and hats when 39 00:02:10,188 --> 00:02:13,148 Speaker 1: you win the division. For this team, let's go cigar rappers. 40 00:02:13,268 --> 00:02:16,468 Speaker 1: Start putting the rapper on the cigar that says AFC 41 00:02:16,668 --> 00:02:18,548 Speaker 1: North Champs on it right there. Go ahead and just 42 00:02:18,668 --> 00:02:20,188 Speaker 1: put the logo on there if you want to make 43 00:02:20,228 --> 00:02:22,588 Speaker 1: it a Bengal stripe, go ahead. When you look at 44 00:02:22,628 --> 00:02:26,748 Speaker 1: what the Bengals did last year, look offensively, the moxie 45 00:02:26,788 --> 00:02:29,548 Speaker 1: that Joe Burrow showed, the explosive ability of Jamar Chase, 46 00:02:30,308 --> 00:02:32,508 Speaker 1: and when you look at t Higgins, Tyler Born, everything 47 00:02:32,508 --> 00:02:36,788 Speaker 1: they did offensively. Look, how would you not take Joe 48 00:02:36,828 --> 00:02:39,668 Speaker 1: Burrow over any quarterback in this division with the game 49 00:02:39,708 --> 00:02:42,148 Speaker 1: on the line, with third down on the line, fourth 50 00:02:42,148 --> 00:02:43,988 Speaker 1: down on the line. Nobody was better last year than 51 00:02:44,068 --> 00:02:46,708 Speaker 1: Joe Burrow on third to fourth down. You're not taking 52 00:02:46,708 --> 00:02:49,788 Speaker 1: any quarterback over Joe Burrow in that division. And when 53 00:02:49,788 --> 00:02:53,028 Speaker 1: I look at how good they were offensively and defensively, 54 00:02:53,228 --> 00:02:54,988 Speaker 1: some of the things that they struggle with, but you know, 55 00:02:54,988 --> 00:02:57,388 Speaker 1: they got to the quarterback. But stopping them run obviously 56 00:02:57,428 --> 00:02:58,908 Speaker 1: something they got to be better at. I look at 57 00:02:58,908 --> 00:03:02,068 Speaker 1: this team. They didn't beat themselves, guys. I think when 58 00:03:02,068 --> 00:03:05,508 Speaker 1: you look at they are great teams that can manufacture 59 00:03:05,548 --> 00:03:08,388 Speaker 1: points and they can you know, they can score touchdowns, 60 00:03:08,388 --> 00:03:11,268 Speaker 1: they can get yards, but they're constantly shooting themselves in 61 00:03:11,308 --> 00:03:13,988 Speaker 1: the foot. The Bengals did not do that. Look at 62 00:03:14,028 --> 00:03:17,428 Speaker 1: what they did last year. They were the second fewest 63 00:03:17,628 --> 00:03:21,508 Speaker 1: penalized team in the NFL, and that right there is 64 00:03:21,508 --> 00:03:24,148 Speaker 1: a tribute to the coaching staff, to Zach Taylor and 65 00:03:24,468 --> 00:03:27,228 Speaker 1: Trickling all the way down throughout the team. They're not 66 00:03:27,268 --> 00:03:29,028 Speaker 1: going to beat themselves. I think that's something that you 67 00:03:29,068 --> 00:03:31,908 Speaker 1: can absolutely carry over in the next season along with 68 00:03:31,948 --> 00:03:34,508 Speaker 1: all of that offensive production. Sean, they play with a 69 00:03:34,508 --> 00:03:36,588 Speaker 1: lot of discipline. As you pointed out, they have a 70 00:03:36,588 --> 00:03:39,548 Speaker 1: lot going for them, and they obviously deserve the benefit 71 00:03:39,548 --> 00:03:42,388 Speaker 1: of the doubt given what they did by reaching the 72 00:03:42,508 --> 00:03:45,388 Speaker 1: Super Bowl. But I don't think it's necessarily a clear cut. 73 00:03:45,428 --> 00:03:49,028 Speaker 1: There is little margin for air in this division. And 74 00:03:49,028 --> 00:03:50,948 Speaker 1: you also have to keep in mind they have an 75 00:03:50,948 --> 00:03:56,108 Speaker 1: absolutely brutal schedule. They have the third toughest schedule in 76 00:03:56,388 --> 00:03:59,428 Speaker 1: the entire league. Remember last year they played a last 77 00:03:59,468 --> 00:04:03,148 Speaker 1: place schedule. This year, that first play schedule will be 78 00:04:03,188 --> 00:04:06,508 Speaker 1: a different animal. Means goodbye to the Likes or the 79 00:04:06,588 --> 00:04:11,508 Speaker 1: Jags and the Jets from the other divisions, and hello Titans, Chiefs, Bills, 80 00:04:11,628 --> 00:04:14,348 Speaker 1: and Cowboys. Not saying they can't do. A guy who 81 00:04:14,388 --> 00:04:16,468 Speaker 1: still think since he is going to be really good. 82 00:04:16,748 --> 00:04:19,988 Speaker 1: But the Ravens, boy, if they are healthy, they are 83 00:04:20,068 --> 00:04:22,188 Speaker 1: going to be a force. They also have one of 84 00:04:22,628 --> 00:04:27,708 Speaker 1: the easiest schedules around. Also, keeping in mind that every 85 00:04:27,708 --> 00:04:30,308 Speaker 1: team goes through this and Sean, you know, so after 86 00:04:30,348 --> 00:04:32,308 Speaker 1: you win or go to a super Bowl, it's a 87 00:04:32,308 --> 00:04:34,708 Speaker 1: lot harder to go back. I don't think it's a 88 00:04:34,748 --> 00:04:37,988 Speaker 1: super Bowl hangover, it's just the schedules a lot tougher. 89 00:04:38,308 --> 00:04:42,588 Speaker 1: You also have a target on your back. And also Peters, 90 00:04:42,708 --> 00:04:45,348 Speaker 1: some things have to go your way as well. Yeah, 91 00:04:45,428 --> 00:04:47,428 Speaker 1: and you mentioned well they have to now play the 92 00:04:47,748 --> 00:04:50,228 Speaker 1: Chiefs and the Titans. Well, they beat those teams in 93 00:04:50,268 --> 00:04:53,788 Speaker 1: their building in the playoffs. Like, let's respect the Bengals 94 00:04:53,868 --> 00:04:56,628 Speaker 1: for what they've done and let's say, hey, first place schedule, 95 00:04:56,828 --> 00:04:59,188 Speaker 1: Let's give them the respect they've earned that first place schedule. 96 00:04:59,228 --> 00:05:02,308 Speaker 1: But you mentioned the Ravens will what they did to 97 00:05:02,308 --> 00:05:05,988 Speaker 1: the Ravens last year was shocking, and it was twice. 98 00:05:06,068 --> 00:05:09,668 Speaker 1: Here was the first time they played forty one to seventeen, 99 00:05:10,068 --> 00:05:13,548 Speaker 1: Burrow throwing for four hundred and sixteen yards. Lamar Jackson 100 00:05:13,628 --> 00:05:16,068 Speaker 1: was the quarterback. And then the Ravens are licking their chops. 101 00:05:16,148 --> 00:05:17,868 Speaker 1: Let us get another chance at these guys. Let's get 102 00:05:17,908 --> 00:05:20,468 Speaker 1: another chance. Look what happens the next time they play. 103 00:05:20,628 --> 00:05:24,028 Speaker 1: This is nine weeks later, the Bengals beat them forty 104 00:05:24,068 --> 00:05:26,228 Speaker 1: one to twenty one and essentially knock them out of 105 00:05:26,228 --> 00:05:29,148 Speaker 1: the playoff picture. Of course, there was no Lamar Jackson. 106 00:05:29,188 --> 00:05:32,828 Speaker 1: And I know that Baltimore franchise, and I can assure 107 00:05:32,868 --> 00:05:35,708 Speaker 1: you that the Ravens brass has been talking about those 108 00:05:35,748 --> 00:05:39,828 Speaker 1: two games in January, in February, in March, and April 109 00:05:40,108 --> 00:05:42,748 Speaker 1: in May. Now in June, and guess what, they won't 110 00:05:42,788 --> 00:05:44,828 Speaker 1: be the same team next year that they were a 111 00:05:44,908 --> 00:05:47,788 Speaker 1: year ago. Look at who's coming back to the Ravens. 112 00:05:48,148 --> 00:05:51,508 Speaker 1: Most importantly, Lamar Jackson four games, mister than ankle. He 113 00:05:51,548 --> 00:05:53,308 Speaker 1: also didn't fuel Will missed a game, but I I didn't 114 00:05:53,308 --> 00:05:55,588 Speaker 1: know if it was COVID or the flu. You got JK. 115 00:05:55,788 --> 00:05:59,068 Speaker 1: Dobbins and Gus Edwards who had freakish injuries. Obviously, Marcus 116 00:05:59,068 --> 00:06:01,628 Speaker 1: Peters in that same group, which was during training camp. 117 00:06:01,948 --> 00:06:03,868 Speaker 1: Ronnie Stanley might be one of the best tackles in 118 00:06:03,868 --> 00:06:07,868 Speaker 1: the football world, miss sixteen games, and Marlon Humphreys coming 119 00:06:07,908 --> 00:06:10,068 Speaker 1: back with a torn pack. This is a team that's 120 00:06:10,068 --> 00:06:12,548 Speaker 1: returning a lot of talent. They're going to be better 121 00:06:12,628 --> 00:06:14,748 Speaker 1: next year no matter what. Just based on the sheer 122 00:06:14,828 --> 00:06:17,268 Speaker 1: veterans that are coming back healthy, I would think it's 123 00:06:17,268 --> 00:06:19,468 Speaker 1: the Ravens and the Bengals, and that's no disrespect to 124 00:06:19,508 --> 00:06:21,428 Speaker 1: the Steelers. And I have no idea what we're gaining 125 00:06:21,468 --> 00:06:23,308 Speaker 1: from the Browns right now. I don't think anyone does 126 00:06:23,388 --> 00:06:26,068 Speaker 1: based on the quarterback position. But I think the Ravens 127 00:06:26,068 --> 00:06:27,508 Speaker 1: are licking their chop. It's going to be a two 128 00:06:27,548 --> 00:06:29,628 Speaker 1: horse race out of the gates, and I'm curious to 129 00:06:29,708 --> 00:06:32,268 Speaker 1: who comes out on top. I like hearing about Baltimore Peter. 130 00:06:32,348 --> 00:06:34,988 Speaker 1: I also say never sleep on Pittsburgh and then Cleveland 131 00:06:35,068 --> 00:06:37,428 Speaker 1: is just so, as I said earlier, a mere curial 132 00:06:37,548 --> 00:06:39,468 Speaker 1: right now. But there's a naive to say that we 133 00:06:39,508 --> 00:06:42,548 Speaker 1: all do, and we all have, even in this industry, 134 00:06:42,628 --> 00:06:46,108 Speaker 1: where we just blindly hype whoever lost the Super Bowl 135 00:06:46,108 --> 00:06:48,508 Speaker 1: and just assume they'll be back because Matt went a 136 00:06:48,508 --> 00:06:50,268 Speaker 1: great season and they made so many great plays and 137 00:06:50,268 --> 00:06:52,828 Speaker 1: so many great highlights. And I think it's especially in 138 00:06:52,908 --> 00:06:55,348 Speaker 1: naive this year because we're talking about a Bengals team 139 00:06:55,508 --> 00:06:58,428 Speaker 1: that's done it one time. It was a great season. 140 00:06:58,588 --> 00:07:00,548 Speaker 1: In fact, was it a great season or was it 141 00:07:00,588 --> 00:07:03,148 Speaker 1: a great run? It's a ten and seventeen. They lost 142 00:07:03,148 --> 00:07:06,268 Speaker 1: to the Bears. Joe through an interception on three straight plays. 143 00:07:06,588 --> 00:07:08,868 Speaker 1: It was an awesome run, and it seems to be 144 00:07:08,988 --> 00:07:10,748 Speaker 1: very promising. You want to get in on this, and 145 00:07:10,788 --> 00:07:13,628 Speaker 1: they're so young and so fast, but guys, it's a 146 00:07:13,708 --> 00:07:17,228 Speaker 1: Cincinnati Bengals here. This is not the most prosperous successful 147 00:07:17,268 --> 00:07:19,828 Speaker 1: franchise in all of sports. They had a one great 148 00:07:19,908 --> 00:07:21,588 Speaker 1: year and I don't know if I'm gonna inject this 149 00:07:21,588 --> 00:07:23,348 Speaker 1: little thing, right, Harry, I want your thoughts on this. 150 00:07:23,868 --> 00:07:25,988 Speaker 1: There's this stat that is going around that I have 151 00:07:26,068 --> 00:07:29,428 Speaker 1: seen in this Instagram account, this Twitter account, this radio show, 152 00:07:29,508 --> 00:07:33,628 Speaker 1: this podcast that people are sort of tagging to Joe Burrow, 153 00:07:34,068 --> 00:07:38,828 Speaker 1: and it is about quarterbacks who lose their Super Bowl debut. 154 00:07:38,868 --> 00:07:43,268 Speaker 1: Sixteen straight quarterbacks who have lost their Super Bowl debut 155 00:07:43,788 --> 00:07:46,108 Speaker 1: have never gotten back. Let me walk you through a 156 00:07:46,148 --> 00:07:48,788 Speaker 1: Jimmy Garoppolo, the last one in the upper lap, Jared Goff, 157 00:07:48,908 --> 00:07:52,028 Speaker 1: Matt Ryan, and then you just start going Rex Grossman, 158 00:07:52,108 --> 00:07:56,228 Speaker 1: hassleback down the middle, Colin McNabb, Deloegan, and Collins McNair. 159 00:07:56,468 --> 00:08:01,828 Speaker 1: These quarterbacks never returned. Chandler, Bledsoe, Neil O'Donnell, and Stan 160 00:08:02,148 --> 00:08:06,148 Speaker 1: Humphreys in January of nineteen ninety five. That is the 161 00:08:06,188 --> 00:08:08,868 Speaker 1: current streak. No one has ever took one on the 162 00:08:08,948 --> 00:08:11,428 Speaker 1: chin in their first Super Bowl and then gotten back. 163 00:08:11,788 --> 00:08:13,388 Speaker 1: All right, So you have guys who have won their 164 00:08:13,428 --> 00:08:18,068 Speaker 1: debut Eli Manny nick Foles. But people are trying to say, listen, 165 00:08:18,228 --> 00:08:21,548 Speaker 1: sometimes teams get hot, a quarterback gets hot, and then 166 00:08:21,588 --> 00:08:25,108 Speaker 1: it all just falls apart or the organization doesn't have 167 00:08:25,148 --> 00:08:30,108 Speaker 1: the infrastructure or the foresight to maintain success after having 168 00:08:30,188 --> 00:08:32,748 Speaker 1: one good run. And Joe Burrow is going to be 169 00:08:32,948 --> 00:08:37,988 Speaker 1: seventeen straight, particularly in a loaded AFC where there are 170 00:08:38,068 --> 00:08:40,588 Speaker 1: about nine teams that we can see winning the Super Bowl, 171 00:08:40,588 --> 00:08:42,548 Speaker 1: if not more. Peter, I want your thoughts on what 172 00:08:42,588 --> 00:08:44,588 Speaker 1: we just showed because we had Stan Humphries on the 173 00:08:44,628 --> 00:08:47,188 Speaker 1: seven A block of the program. Anytime we get to 174 00:08:47,188 --> 00:08:49,988 Speaker 1: talk Chris Chandler and Stan Humphries at seven am, twenty 175 00:08:50,068 --> 00:08:52,428 Speaker 1: twenty two, I'm a happy guy. You know that Stan 176 00:08:52,508 --> 00:08:54,668 Speaker 1: Humphries that Natron means in the backfield, and you better 177 00:08:54,708 --> 00:08:56,748 Speaker 1: believe he was relying on him. Joe Mixon's going to 178 00:08:56,788 --> 00:08:58,628 Speaker 1: be relied on as well. What I look at is 179 00:08:58,668 --> 00:09:01,268 Speaker 1: that the Bengals didn't lose a ton of guys over 180 00:09:01,348 --> 00:09:04,708 Speaker 1: the offseason. They didn't lose a ton of coaches back 181 00:09:04,708 --> 00:09:07,868 Speaker 1: just about everybody, and they also added a Ted Caress, 182 00:09:07,948 --> 00:09:10,628 Speaker 1: they added a Lil Collins, and in the draft they 183 00:09:10,628 --> 00:09:12,508 Speaker 1: address needs. Were like, all right, let's go get some 184 00:09:12,548 --> 00:09:14,668 Speaker 1: defensive backfield if we need, and let's go get and 185 00:09:14,668 --> 00:09:16,868 Speaker 1: beef up the offensive line. Like the Bengals might have 186 00:09:16,868 --> 00:09:18,828 Speaker 1: have a huge window. And I know what you're saying, sething, 187 00:09:18,868 --> 00:09:20,788 Speaker 1: this hasn't been the most historic franchise for the last 188 00:09:20,788 --> 00:09:22,948 Speaker 1: twenty years. If anything, they've let talent walk out and 189 00:09:22,948 --> 00:09:25,308 Speaker 1: they haven't paid their guys. But I, like you'm watching 190 00:09:25,348 --> 00:09:28,068 Speaker 1: the Jessie Bates thing closely, and of course I'm looking 191 00:09:28,068 --> 00:09:30,068 Speaker 1: at how these contracts will go over the next few years. 192 00:09:30,068 --> 00:09:32,708 Speaker 1: But for the twenty twenty two season, the Bengals bring 193 00:09:32,748 --> 00:09:34,668 Speaker 1: everyone back. Like, I don't think this is a fluke. 194 00:09:34,748 --> 00:09:36,948 Speaker 1: I think this team will be one of those Super 195 00:09:36,948 --> 00:09:40,268 Speaker 1: Bowl losers that does return to the playoffs. For Peter's 196 00:09:40,348 --> 00:09:42,068 Speaker 1: left to God's ears. And I think we can agree, 197 00:09:42,108 --> 00:09:43,988 Speaker 1: guys that one of the things that Bengals have going 198 00:09:43,988 --> 00:09:46,708 Speaker 1: for them even outside the organization is the state of 199 00:09:46,788 --> 00:09:49,668 Speaker 1: the nation of the Cleveland Browns, which we now segue 200 00:09:49,788 --> 00:09:52,628 Speaker 1: into We'll keep you updated all week and all month 201 00:09:52,708 --> 00:09:55,068 Speaker 1: on this. We have to developed the news with Deshaun Watson, 202 00:09:55,108 --> 00:09:57,748 Speaker 1: who is a Browns quarterback. Yesterday was the first day 203 00:09:57,788 --> 00:10:00,588 Speaker 1: of his disciplinary hearings. I'm sure you've heard about it 204 00:10:00,588 --> 00:10:02,428 Speaker 1: and read about it. You're about to get more information 205 00:10:02,428 --> 00:10:07,348 Speaker 1: on it, courtesy of the rap sheet Rappaport. Day one 206 00:10:07,388 --> 00:10:10,468 Speaker 1: of the disciplinary hearing for Brown's quarterback to Shaun Watson 207 00:10:10,548 --> 00:10:13,268 Speaker 1: came and went on Tuesday, and all sides are expected 208 00:10:13,348 --> 00:10:16,028 Speaker 1: back at the table on Wednesday. This hearing, in front 209 00:10:16,028 --> 00:10:19,748 Speaker 1: of retired Judge Sue L. Robinson, has been jointly appointed 210 00:10:19,748 --> 00:10:22,988 Speaker 1: by the NFL and the NFLPA, could actually last three days, 211 00:10:22,988 --> 00:10:25,068 Speaker 1: so there is a possibility, based on how it goes, 212 00:10:25,108 --> 00:10:27,908 Speaker 1: that all sides could be back at the table on Thursday. 213 00:10:27,948 --> 00:10:30,348 Speaker 1: Of course, there have been more than twenty lawsuits alleging 214 00:10:30,428 --> 00:10:33,948 Speaker 1: sexual misconduct against Shaun Watson, but the NFL is presenting 215 00:10:33,988 --> 00:10:36,588 Speaker 1: the case of five of these women who alleged that 216 00:10:36,708 --> 00:10:40,628 Speaker 1: he violated the NFL's personal conduct policy. The league believes 217 00:10:40,788 --> 00:10:43,828 Speaker 1: and is going to argue that Watson should be suspended 218 00:10:43,908 --> 00:10:47,508 Speaker 1: at least a year indefinitely, with the possibility of applying 219 00:10:47,828 --> 00:10:50,508 Speaker 1: after a calendar year. Of course, Watson's lawyers and those 220 00:10:50,548 --> 00:10:53,668 Speaker 1: from the NFLPA are arguing that his suspense should should 221 00:10:53,668 --> 00:10:58,148 Speaker 1: be far shorter, perhaps even zero games, absence some sort 222 00:10:58,188 --> 00:11:00,988 Speaker 1: of resolution, which at this point would be a surprise. 223 00:11:01,388 --> 00:11:04,308 Speaker 1: Expect the hearing to end, Expect both sides to file 224 00:11:04,588 --> 00:11:07,348 Speaker 1: briefs in the coming days, and expect a couple of 225 00:11:07,388 --> 00:11:16,068 Speaker 1: weeks until Sue Robinson makes a decision. All right, you 226 00:11:16,188 --> 00:11:18,868 Speaker 1: know what, you love it. It is time for the 227 00:11:18,908 --> 00:11:23,468 Speaker 1: staple of this program. It is time for white board Wednesday. Guys, 228 00:11:23,548 --> 00:11:25,948 Speaker 1: make sure you get your markers, you get your white 229 00:11:25,948 --> 00:11:29,868 Speaker 1: boards out. We begin in New York, So Giants receiver 230 00:11:30,268 --> 00:11:33,388 Speaker 1: Sterling Shepherd is excited for the new look of the 231 00:11:33,468 --> 00:11:37,348 Speaker 1: offense there now that Brian Dable is there, saying there's 232 00:11:37,348 --> 00:11:40,268 Speaker 1: a lot of potential for a lot of big plays. 233 00:11:40,428 --> 00:11:42,948 Speaker 1: Now I pose this question to you all the office 234 00:11:42,988 --> 00:11:46,788 Speaker 1: you think has the most potential heading into this season 235 00:11:47,068 --> 00:11:50,348 Speaker 1: is whom Peter Schrager. I'm going with the boss. You 236 00:11:50,348 --> 00:11:54,548 Speaker 1: can see that that's a dolphin jumping around this potential. 237 00:11:54,788 --> 00:11:56,428 Speaker 1: These guys have all the potential in the world. You're 238 00:11:56,428 --> 00:11:58,788 Speaker 1: talking about Tyreek Hill, the fastest player in football, or 239 00:11:58,868 --> 00:12:01,548 Speaker 1: he most gets added to that team. And then you 240 00:12:01,588 --> 00:12:03,828 Speaker 1: go through the list of new offensive lineman and Connor 241 00:12:03,828 --> 00:12:06,028 Speaker 1: Williamson an armstad and that doesn't even start to really 242 00:12:06,068 --> 00:12:09,148 Speaker 1: scratch the surface. Because Jayleen Wattle led the NFL's rookies 243 00:12:09,388 --> 00:12:11,868 Speaker 1: all time and receptions last year. And oh yeah, you're 244 00:12:11,908 --> 00:12:14,828 Speaker 1: dropping in Mike McDaniel, an offensive genius who drew up 245 00:12:14,868 --> 00:12:18,508 Speaker 1: one of the most creative, innovative, toughest, and fastest offenses 246 00:12:18,508 --> 00:12:21,988 Speaker 1: with the forty nine ers alongside Kyle Shanahan. Potential. Gimme 247 00:12:22,308 --> 00:12:25,388 Speaker 1: the dolphins on my white piece of paper here, and 248 00:12:25,508 --> 00:12:28,028 Speaker 1: with the dolphin jumping out of the water, I'm with you. 249 00:12:28,108 --> 00:12:30,188 Speaker 1: I'm co signing on it, shregs, and I'm not gonna 250 00:12:30,228 --> 00:12:34,828 Speaker 1: draw any dolphins or porpoises of any kind. But Miami, 251 00:12:34,948 --> 00:12:37,068 Speaker 1: no doubt when you talk about potential, We've been talking 252 00:12:37,068 --> 00:12:40,828 Speaker 1: about it for months. They are assembling a dream team. Offensively, 253 00:12:41,188 --> 00:12:44,468 Speaker 1: you mentioned all of the additions everybody around Tuah, and 254 00:12:44,588 --> 00:12:47,708 Speaker 1: yet we still don't know what we're getting from Tuah, 255 00:12:47,868 --> 00:12:50,068 Speaker 1: and we don't know what we're gonna get from this offense, 256 00:12:50,148 --> 00:12:52,748 Speaker 1: So I think the potential absolutely is there. I can't 257 00:12:52,748 --> 00:12:55,948 Speaker 1: wait to see what Mike McDaniel cooks up. But I 258 00:12:56,028 --> 00:12:58,868 Speaker 1: feel like as much as everybody's expecting these wow and 259 00:12:58,908 --> 00:13:02,148 Speaker 1: gadget plays, look that's not the bread and butter of 260 00:13:02,148 --> 00:13:03,988 Speaker 1: the offense. The bread and butter of this offense is 261 00:13:03,988 --> 00:13:05,348 Speaker 1: going to be the running game. And that's why I 262 00:13:05,348 --> 00:13:09,308 Speaker 1: think toront Armstead and Connor Williams, those two editions could 263 00:13:09,428 --> 00:13:11,788 Speaker 1: have just a big of an impact as a Tyreek Hill. 264 00:13:12,468 --> 00:13:14,468 Speaker 1: I'm also you know, for Jayla Waddle. When you look 265 00:13:14,468 --> 00:13:16,108 Speaker 1: at what he did last year one hundred four catches, 266 00:13:16,108 --> 00:13:19,548 Speaker 1: that's an NFL rookie record. I think that's kind of 267 00:13:19,748 --> 00:13:22,108 Speaker 1: under the radar as far as how productive he was 268 00:13:22,348 --> 00:13:26,028 Speaker 1: as a young player. I forgot today is Wednesday. On Monday, 269 00:13:26,108 --> 00:13:29,588 Speaker 1: Wednesdays and Fridays, we become an in house Miami Dolphins program. 270 00:13:29,988 --> 00:13:32,708 Speaker 1: So see if Friday, guys, we'll do more Miami Dolphins talk. 271 00:13:32,828 --> 00:13:34,228 Speaker 1: You ever have a thing in the office is where 272 00:13:34,268 --> 00:13:35,788 Speaker 1: you just fall in love with the team and you're 273 00:13:35,788 --> 00:13:39,748 Speaker 1: not even sure why, and you just keep talking about them. Listen. 274 00:13:40,148 --> 00:13:42,628 Speaker 1: I've said this a thousand times this soft season. I 275 00:13:42,668 --> 00:13:45,988 Speaker 1: am really excited about the twenty twenty two Vikings, mostly 276 00:13:46,028 --> 00:13:48,468 Speaker 1: because of Kevin O'Connell. I think they got one of 277 00:13:48,468 --> 00:13:52,468 Speaker 1: these young little McVeigh Russian nesting dolls that everyone's trying 278 00:13:52,468 --> 00:13:54,388 Speaker 1: to get. They got there, and their offens is gonna 279 00:13:54,388 --> 00:13:55,948 Speaker 1: be amazing. I don't need to go on and on, 280 00:13:56,068 --> 00:13:57,788 Speaker 1: but I will tell you this right now. Screw it, 281 00:13:57,788 --> 00:14:00,348 Speaker 1: it's late June. I'm predicting them to win the NFC North. 282 00:14:00,348 --> 00:14:02,268 Speaker 1: I think the Vikings are gonna win the division this year, 283 00:14:02,308 --> 00:14:05,988 Speaker 1: and that's why I'm excited about them. WHOA, all right, 284 00:14:06,028 --> 00:14:10,908 Speaker 1: there you go, Kyle, well done? Okay for me? Sure, 285 00:14:10,988 --> 00:14:14,188 Speaker 1: why not, hey Wednesday or it's not even July, let's 286 00:14:14,228 --> 00:14:17,508 Speaker 1: go for it? All right? For me? I said, it 287 00:14:17,708 --> 00:14:20,628 Speaker 1: is the Bengals. I love the fact that they've got 288 00:14:20,668 --> 00:14:24,348 Speaker 1: a quarterback who's dripping with swag, with confidency. You know what, 289 00:14:24,428 --> 00:14:27,388 Speaker 1: not only does he have it, he gets it. Guys. 290 00:14:27,788 --> 00:14:32,348 Speaker 1: Check out this Twitter exchange, if you will, between Jamar 291 00:14:32,468 --> 00:14:35,948 Speaker 1: Chase and Joe Burrow. Okay, this is what Jamar Chase 292 00:14:35,988 --> 00:14:39,428 Speaker 1: had said. Joey B sweary fast, y'all like twenty miles 293 00:14:39,428 --> 00:14:44,108 Speaker 1: per hour fast, to which Joey B had responded, one 294 00:14:44,228 --> 00:14:46,748 Speaker 1: might say dot dot dot dot dot dot dot dot 295 00:14:46,788 --> 00:14:51,468 Speaker 1: dot sneaky fast, Yes, with the winking emoji. He definitely knows. 296 00:14:51,708 --> 00:14:53,668 Speaker 1: We talk about it on this program all the time 297 00:14:53,708 --> 00:14:57,828 Speaker 1: about sneaky athletic, sneaky fast, whatever it is. The man 298 00:14:58,028 --> 00:15:01,148 Speaker 1: is an athlete. The man can run and he will 299 00:15:01,188 --> 00:15:04,148 Speaker 1: be without that knee brace. Guys, he had it all 300 00:15:04,428 --> 00:15:07,028 Speaker 1: season long. And one thing to keep in mind is 301 00:15:07,068 --> 00:15:09,748 Speaker 1: he brings a different element to this offense now that 302 00:15:09,828 --> 00:15:12,988 Speaker 1: he won't be having that knee brace there. He's going 303 00:15:13,028 --> 00:15:15,348 Speaker 1: to be able to have that same kind of run 304 00:15:15,428 --> 00:15:18,508 Speaker 1: that he had against the Chargers. That quarterback draw. We 305 00:15:18,548 --> 00:15:21,788 Speaker 1: saw some of those nifty moves, So I'm expecting Joey 306 00:15:21,788 --> 00:15:24,348 Speaker 1: B to be a little bit more nimble there in 307 00:15:24,428 --> 00:15:42,028 Speaker 1: the pocket. Sneaky fast, if you will. Football football. Baker Mayfield, 308 00:15:42,468 --> 00:15:45,828 Speaker 1: currently a Browns quarterback, was at a kids camp in 309 00:15:45,868 --> 00:15:49,068 Speaker 1: his old college campus in Oklahoma and he was asked, now, 310 00:15:49,068 --> 00:15:51,948 Speaker 1: hold on a second, Baker, We're hearing that Deshaun could 311 00:15:51,948 --> 00:15:55,668 Speaker 1: be suspended for up to a year. Potentially they need 312 00:15:55,668 --> 00:15:59,108 Speaker 1: a quarterback. What about you and the Browns making it 313 00:15:59,188 --> 00:16:03,108 Speaker 1: work again? I think it's been pretty obvious. The mutual 314 00:16:03,428 --> 00:16:06,348 Speaker 1: decision on both side is to move on. I'm thankful 315 00:16:06,388 --> 00:16:08,108 Speaker 1: for my four years in Cleveland. There's a lot of 316 00:16:08,188 --> 00:16:10,668 Speaker 1: ups and downs and a ton of learning experiences that 317 00:16:10,868 --> 00:16:13,148 Speaker 1: you know all forever keep with me, teammates and friends 318 00:16:13,148 --> 00:16:15,428 Speaker 1: and relationships that all have for a lifetime. But I 319 00:16:15,468 --> 00:16:17,068 Speaker 1: think a lot of people think if they didn't have 320 00:16:17,108 --> 00:16:19,468 Speaker 1: a quarterback from the next year, would there be any 321 00:16:19,548 --> 00:16:22,508 Speaker 1: chance of reconciliation? There No. I think for that to happen, 322 00:16:22,508 --> 00:16:24,388 Speaker 1: they would have to be some reaching out. But we're 323 00:16:24,388 --> 00:16:27,068 Speaker 1: ready to move on, I think on both sides. All right, 324 00:16:27,108 --> 00:16:29,508 Speaker 1: So this is kind of fascinating. Now, Peter, you're already 325 00:16:29,908 --> 00:16:31,628 Speaker 1: raring to getting here. I don't blame you. To a 326 00:16:31,628 --> 00:16:34,748 Speaker 1: little context, Baker Mayfield is a Cleveland Brown. He is 327 00:16:34,828 --> 00:16:37,628 Speaker 1: under contracts. He has one year left on his deal 328 00:16:37,668 --> 00:16:40,188 Speaker 1: to be a Brown's quarterback. What do you think when 329 00:16:40,188 --> 00:16:42,108 Speaker 1: you hear him talking with almost a little bit of 330 00:16:42,108 --> 00:16:44,388 Speaker 1: a grin on his face? Where does this thing go? Yeah, 331 00:16:44,388 --> 00:16:46,388 Speaker 1: you reput yourself. It's what he's saying, And I'm not 332 00:16:46,428 --> 00:16:48,108 Speaker 1: going to bail you out now, even though they are 333 00:16:48,148 --> 00:16:51,868 Speaker 1: paying him eighteen million dollars right now. But like Baker's down, 334 00:16:52,228 --> 00:16:53,908 Speaker 1: Baker will not be a Brown. He's not going to 335 00:16:53,988 --> 00:16:55,468 Speaker 1: go back there. These guy's got too much pride and 336 00:16:55,468 --> 00:16:57,868 Speaker 1: as much as he might say, well, financially he's under 337 00:16:57,908 --> 00:16:59,908 Speaker 1: contrary like and on the flip side of it, I 338 00:16:59,988 --> 00:17:02,668 Speaker 1: only the Browns want him, and they do have Jacoby Brissette, 339 00:17:02,748 --> 00:17:05,148 Speaker 1: who is a capable back up in this league. He's 340 00:17:05,188 --> 00:17:07,308 Speaker 1: had a multiple chance to be a starter. It's probably 341 00:17:07,308 --> 00:17:10,148 Speaker 1: a number two, and he's the insurance plan IFTI Shawn 342 00:17:10,148 --> 00:17:12,188 Speaker 1: Watson isn't able to play football this year due to 343 00:17:12,188 --> 00:17:14,908 Speaker 1: a suspension. But I don't think this is a good 344 00:17:14,908 --> 00:17:17,068 Speaker 1: idea to try to patch this up, or the Browns 345 00:17:17,108 --> 00:17:19,708 Speaker 1: to come back crawling, or for Baker to come back 346 00:17:19,708 --> 00:17:22,028 Speaker 1: and try to approach them. From what it sounds like, 347 00:17:22,068 --> 00:17:24,708 Speaker 1: the Browns have not made any effort to bring Baker 348 00:17:24,748 --> 00:17:27,428 Speaker 1: back in the world. And the second Baker went on 349 00:17:27,468 --> 00:17:30,828 Speaker 1: Instagram and expressed his feelings and demand of the trade, 350 00:17:30,828 --> 00:17:32,468 Speaker 1: I think both sides were like, all right, this is 351 00:17:32,508 --> 00:17:34,588 Speaker 1: the equivalent. And I don't know if his analogy is 352 00:17:34,628 --> 00:17:36,628 Speaker 1: too graphic of the morning, or if it's inappropriate or 353 00:17:36,668 --> 00:17:38,268 Speaker 1: whatever it is, but this is the equivalent of a 354 00:17:38,308 --> 00:17:41,588 Speaker 1: married couple going through a really difficult time and then saying, 355 00:17:41,628 --> 00:17:43,988 Speaker 1: you know what, let's have another baby, and let's have 356 00:17:44,028 --> 00:17:47,588 Speaker 1: another baby and see if maybe that patches our relationship up. 357 00:17:47,588 --> 00:17:49,468 Speaker 1: I don't think you need the twenty twenty two season 358 00:17:49,508 --> 00:17:51,108 Speaker 1: as the baby in this one. It's time for both 359 00:17:51,108 --> 00:17:53,508 Speaker 1: sides to move on. Whether Baker's traded or Baker has 360 00:17:53,508 --> 00:17:55,548 Speaker 1: cut Bakers traded for twenty cents on the dollar, I 361 00:17:55,588 --> 00:17:58,028 Speaker 1: think it's better for both sides. As crazy as that sounds, 362 00:17:58,068 --> 00:18:00,868 Speaker 1: considering he was, you know, obviously a team that quote 363 00:18:00,868 --> 00:18:02,228 Speaker 1: back to him to the playoffs and has played through 364 00:18:02,228 --> 00:18:03,908 Speaker 1: injury and all this stuff. But I think it's bur 365 00:18:03,988 --> 00:18:06,508 Speaker 1: Set or it's Watson. I don't think it's Baker Mayfield. 366 00:18:06,508 --> 00:18:08,428 Speaker 1: I think that's both both sides. I think it's probably 367 00:18:08,468 --> 00:18:10,068 Speaker 1: better that way. As far as the way that these 368 00:18:10,108 --> 00:18:12,268 Speaker 1: failings are going. At the moment, you could hear Baker's 369 00:18:12,348 --> 00:18:14,908 Speaker 1: voice like he's moved on. I think that he's not 370 00:18:14,948 --> 00:18:17,708 Speaker 1: even thinking about the Browns and obviously all of the 371 00:18:17,708 --> 00:18:19,508 Speaker 1: repair that would have to go into that. But I 372 00:18:19,548 --> 00:18:21,388 Speaker 1: think when you look at the Cleveland Browns right now, 373 00:18:22,028 --> 00:18:24,908 Speaker 1: where are you right now? Where are the fans right 374 00:18:24,948 --> 00:18:28,028 Speaker 1: now I'm a former Cleveland brown I get newsletters from 375 00:18:28,028 --> 00:18:31,148 Speaker 1: the Cleveland Browns alumni every couple of months, and you 376 00:18:31,228 --> 00:18:34,028 Speaker 1: find yourself saying, like, all right, what's going on here? 377 00:18:34,068 --> 00:18:36,788 Speaker 1: This is a franchise that has been in quarterback purgatory 378 00:18:36,988 --> 00:18:39,828 Speaker 1: since it came back in nineteen ninety nine. Baker Mayfield 379 00:18:39,948 --> 00:18:41,508 Speaker 1: is the first quarterback to come back and win a 380 00:18:41,508 --> 00:18:43,708 Speaker 1: playoff game, and you just rushed him out the door. 381 00:18:43,908 --> 00:18:45,948 Speaker 1: Shreg is talking about, you know, maybe having a baby 382 00:18:45,988 --> 00:18:47,868 Speaker 1: to keep him together. I think Kyle did a whole 383 00:18:47,868 --> 00:18:50,148 Speaker 1: spoof on this about how this is like getting a 384 00:18:50,188 --> 00:18:52,148 Speaker 1: divorce from your wife and bringing in the mistress the 385 00:18:52,228 --> 00:18:56,028 Speaker 1: next day and giving her a whole new bag and 386 00:18:56,108 --> 00:18:58,708 Speaker 1: a whole new wardrobe, everything that the other wife wanted. 387 00:18:59,108 --> 00:19:01,788 Speaker 1: And now that wife's going to jail, so now you're 388 00:19:01,788 --> 00:19:04,908 Speaker 1: trying to bring back the og the original wife. This 389 00:19:04,948 --> 00:19:07,588 Speaker 1: whole thing is a mess right now. And I think 390 00:19:07,628 --> 00:19:09,508 Speaker 1: there's no way of Baker play for the Cleveland Browns. 391 00:19:09,668 --> 00:19:12,308 Speaker 1: And look, if you're the Cleveland Browns, even if Baker 392 00:19:12,348 --> 00:19:15,188 Speaker 1: came back to play, you know, it's a part time thing. 393 00:19:15,308 --> 00:19:18,068 Speaker 1: So you're kind of putting the Browns fans into this 394 00:19:18,108 --> 00:19:20,868 Speaker 1: whole double dutch situation where all right, are we back 395 00:19:20,908 --> 00:19:22,668 Speaker 1: on board with Baker now? Is he our guy? But 396 00:19:22,988 --> 00:19:24,668 Speaker 1: Sean's still waiting in the wings. We don't know when 397 00:19:24,668 --> 00:19:27,388 Speaker 1: we're getting him back. I can't believe that Cleveland has 398 00:19:27,628 --> 00:19:30,308 Speaker 1: fallen this far in the off season. Normally, this time 399 00:19:30,308 --> 00:19:32,228 Speaker 1: of year, we're hyping up how good they are. Man, 400 00:19:32,268 --> 00:19:34,548 Speaker 1: we got O b J and Jarvis Landry and Nick Chubb, 401 00:19:34,588 --> 00:19:36,588 Speaker 1: and when they drafted Baker, it was the all hype 402 00:19:36,588 --> 00:19:39,548 Speaker 1: team in the off season. Right now Cleveland is there's 403 00:19:39,588 --> 00:19:41,908 Speaker 1: more question marks than answers right now. And I can't 404 00:19:41,908 --> 00:19:43,988 Speaker 1: believe we're even talking about Baker may If going to 405 00:19:43,628 --> 00:19:45,708 Speaker 1: the back to the Browns. That man has got some pride, 406 00:19:45,748 --> 00:19:47,588 Speaker 1: all right. You may think he has an eagle. I 407 00:19:47,628 --> 00:19:49,348 Speaker 1: know he's got some respect for himself. There's no way 408 00:19:49,348 --> 00:19:51,388 Speaker 1: in hell he's going back to play for the Browns, Sean, 409 00:19:51,708 --> 00:19:53,868 Speaker 1: you'd mentioned it. I do think that they have a 410 00:19:53,988 --> 00:19:57,308 Speaker 1: lot of talent still on this roster, but the quarterback 411 00:19:57,348 --> 00:20:00,708 Speaker 1: situation now, no way is Baker Mayfield going to want 412 00:20:00,708 --> 00:20:03,748 Speaker 1: to come back. That bridge has been burned. There is 413 00:20:03,788 --> 00:20:06,428 Speaker 1: just no chance for reconciliation. Just by looking at this 414 00:20:06,508 --> 00:20:09,628 Speaker 1: smirk on his face. There is no room for any 415 00:20:09,668 --> 00:20:12,828 Speaker 1: interpretation there. We know that this is what the Browns 416 00:20:12,868 --> 00:20:16,708 Speaker 1: were going to invite with the risk of signing Deshaun Watson. 417 00:20:16,748 --> 00:20:19,708 Speaker 1: Deshaun Watson two hundred and thirty million that is guaranteed 418 00:20:19,788 --> 00:20:23,548 Speaker 1: for him, So they put in a lot of risk 419 00:20:23,668 --> 00:20:26,108 Speaker 1: in this and also giving up a lot of draft capital. 420 00:20:26,188 --> 00:20:29,708 Speaker 1: But Cleveland, here's your guy right now. Jacoby Brissette. Not 421 00:20:29,788 --> 00:20:33,108 Speaker 1: a knock against him at all, very serviceable. They signed 422 00:20:33,148 --> 00:20:35,988 Speaker 1: him right after making the Watson deal in case this 423 00:20:36,068 --> 00:20:39,988 Speaker 1: exact scenario came to fruition. Jacoby Brissette may not be 424 00:20:40,028 --> 00:20:43,308 Speaker 1: the most exciting choice fourteen and twenty three in his 425 00:20:43,348 --> 00:20:46,068 Speaker 1: career as a starter, but this is the corner Cleveland 426 00:20:46,188 --> 00:20:48,948 Speaker 1: backed themselves into. I don't think you can crawl back 427 00:20:48,988 --> 00:20:52,388 Speaker 1: to Baker now. It's ridiculous the new things might go 428 00:20:52,428 --> 00:20:55,308 Speaker 1: in this direction. They got Brissett as a backup plan 429 00:20:55,588 --> 00:20:58,068 Speaker 1: and they may have just to eat this year and 430 00:20:58,148 --> 00:21:02,428 Speaker 1: figure the rest out going forward as the disciplinary process 431 00:21:02,548 --> 00:21:06,108 Speaker 1: plays out, and as we know, takes some time, and 432 00:21:06,268 --> 00:21:09,228 Speaker 1: the Browns knew there had to be some blowback on this, 433 00:21:09,268 --> 00:21:11,948 Speaker 1: and there's definitely going to be with the product on 434 00:21:12,028 --> 00:21:16,468 Speaker 1: the field. Kyle's Jacoby Brissette or Josh Dobbs, and that's 435 00:21:16,508 --> 00:21:19,388 Speaker 1: what they've got. There's no way that Baker's coming back. 436 00:21:19,588 --> 00:21:20,988 Speaker 1: I don't know if there's no way. I don't know 437 00:21:21,028 --> 00:21:22,748 Speaker 1: if there should be no way. I'm gonna go the 438 00:21:22,748 --> 00:21:24,588 Speaker 1: other way on this. First of all, I don't think 439 00:21:24,588 --> 00:21:26,788 Speaker 1: you can just eat a year in the middle of 440 00:21:26,828 --> 00:21:29,748 Speaker 1: your new head coach's ascension and in just a couple 441 00:21:29,748 --> 00:21:31,548 Speaker 1: of years removed from a playoffs seas. You can't tell 442 00:21:31,548 --> 00:21:33,388 Speaker 1: your fans we're gonna eat the year because we messed 443 00:21:33,468 --> 00:21:35,868 Speaker 1: up by signing this guy who might be some sort 444 00:21:35,908 --> 00:21:37,788 Speaker 1: of problem in the community and paid on the biggest 445 00:21:37,788 --> 00:21:41,148 Speaker 1: contract efforts. We'll just eat the year. That's embarrassing, that's unprofessional, 446 00:21:41,188 --> 00:21:43,268 Speaker 1: it's pathetic. I've heard a lot of a lot as 447 00:21:43,268 --> 00:21:44,988 Speaker 1: you guys are talking about the idea of how would 448 00:21:44,988 --> 00:21:46,388 Speaker 1: you get Baker to come back? He doesn't want to 449 00:21:46,388 --> 00:21:49,428 Speaker 1: come back. And I keep hearing the word pride and 450 00:21:49,588 --> 00:21:51,868 Speaker 1: pride and pride, And that's one of the seven deadly sins. 451 00:21:52,148 --> 00:21:53,828 Speaker 1: You know what. Another one of the seven deadly sins 452 00:21:53,908 --> 00:21:57,348 Speaker 1: is rath And if you were Kevin Stefanski and you 453 00:21:57,428 --> 00:22:00,548 Speaker 1: go and you decide. Listen, we got screwed in this 454 00:22:00,668 --> 00:22:02,828 Speaker 1: Deshaun ruling that came down. We got nobody. I don't 455 00:22:02,828 --> 00:22:05,548 Speaker 1: feel comfortable, Jacobe. I want Baker. I want to try 456 00:22:05,548 --> 00:22:07,668 Speaker 1: to get back to the playoffs. You call, Baker and 457 00:22:07,748 --> 00:22:10,868 Speaker 1: the pitches You're gonna have an unprecedented in one hundred 458 00:22:10,868 --> 00:22:13,148 Speaker 1: plus year history of the NFL season, and it is 459 00:22:13,148 --> 00:22:18,028 Speaker 1: the all time double birds screw you season. Naser teams 460 00:22:18,028 --> 00:22:21,108 Speaker 1: that didn't draft you, to the team that did draft you, 461 00:22:21,388 --> 00:22:24,348 Speaker 1: and the team that went to replace you. Baker, this 462 00:22:24,428 --> 00:22:27,148 Speaker 1: is wheelhouse for you. A lot of guys can't handle this. 463 00:22:27,548 --> 00:22:31,388 Speaker 1: You want anger, motivation, channel it up to the front 464 00:22:31,388 --> 00:22:34,108 Speaker 1: office as you throw for a touchdown to Amari Cooper 465 00:22:34,148 --> 00:22:37,588 Speaker 1: against the Steelers. Let's do this because I gotta also 466 00:22:37,628 --> 00:22:40,268 Speaker 1: tell you, Baker, I keep hearing Baker's gonna move on, 467 00:22:40,868 --> 00:22:44,268 Speaker 1: move on to where nobody's calling guys. The Browns phones 468 00:22:44,308 --> 00:22:47,148 Speaker 1: aren't ringing. It's almost July. We've been at this thing 469 00:22:47,188 --> 00:22:51,068 Speaker 1: for months. Nobody's interested moving on to what high school coaching? 470 00:22:51,348 --> 00:22:54,908 Speaker 1: That's it. So Baker's got no other job, and these 471 00:22:54,908 --> 00:22:57,668 Speaker 1: sort of Chris rock men are only as faceball as 472 00:22:57,708 --> 00:22:59,908 Speaker 1: their options take is coming up, and I don't think 473 00:22:59,948 --> 00:23:01,948 Speaker 1: the Browns are gonna have another quarterback. I think there's 474 00:23:01,948 --> 00:23:04,068 Speaker 1: gonna be a sledgehammer coming and I think the best 475 00:23:04,588 --> 00:23:06,588 Speaker 1: back is a guy that they're gonna say, well, it's 476 00:23:06,668 --> 00:23:09,548 Speaker 1: just too awkward, son, don't have a human conversation. Because 477 00:23:09,588 --> 00:23:11,948 Speaker 1: the pitch to Baker is play one season, make her 478 00:23:11,988 --> 00:23:14,668 Speaker 1: twenty million dollars, take us to the playoffs, sign a 479 00:23:14,748 --> 00:23:17,308 Speaker 1: huge contract extension with another team, and then take that 480 00:23:17,308 --> 00:23:20,188 Speaker 1: team splag and walk to the middle of Brown Stadium 481 00:23:20,428 --> 00:23:23,068 Speaker 1: and slam it on the fifty yard line and then 482 00:23:23,188 --> 00:23:26,308 Speaker 1: walk off. That's the play. That's the pitch Peter to 483 00:23:26,548 --> 00:23:28,508 Speaker 1: tell me I'm wrong. I love it. And I think 484 00:23:28,708 --> 00:23:30,868 Speaker 1: if we're talking about it just without emotions, and you 485 00:23:30,988 --> 00:23:33,588 Speaker 1: rip the emotions out of it and logically and rationally, 486 00:23:33,628 --> 00:23:35,908 Speaker 1: and if you're pragmatic, you'd say, hey, you've got one 487 00:23:35,948 --> 00:23:38,588 Speaker 1: you left in your contract. Kill it. Be the noble citizen, 488 00:23:38,748 --> 00:23:40,748 Speaker 1: you be the good guy, and then you put them 489 00:23:40,748 --> 00:23:42,908 Speaker 1: in a tough spot and then you sign elsewhere. I 490 00:23:42,988 --> 00:23:44,628 Speaker 1: just don't know if Baker ever wants to wear that 491 00:23:44,708 --> 00:23:46,588 Speaker 1: uniform again. I don't know if all those bridges have 492 00:23:46,668 --> 00:23:48,748 Speaker 1: been burned. But Kyle on paper, it makes a hell 493 00:23:48,788 --> 00:23:49,988 Speaker 1: of a lot of sense. I don't know if you 494 00:23:50,028 --> 00:23:51,908 Speaker 1: were in the same situation, if you would feel the same. 495 00:23:52,188 --> 00:23:54,468 Speaker 1: I don't know if I would either. But Baker Mayfield 496 00:23:54,628 --> 00:23:56,908 Speaker 1: is one in a million in terms of a personality. 497 00:23:56,948 --> 00:23:58,428 Speaker 1: I'm not him. None of us are him. I don't 498 00:23:58,428 --> 00:24:00,468 Speaker 1: know if there's another quarterback between the Ears like him 499 00:24:00,668 --> 00:24:03,748 Speaker 1: in the league. The Rivers burned in Cleveland. The Bridges 500 00:24:03,788 --> 00:24:05,428 Speaker 1: do not shout and call if you don't have a 501 00:24:05,508 --> 00:24:08,908 Speaker 1: better quarterback. Welcome back to Good morning football. Eagles fans, 502 00:24:08,908 --> 00:24:10,588 Speaker 1: if you're watching, you're gonna have a huge smile on 503 00:24:10,668 --> 00:24:13,268 Speaker 1: your face.

We're having our fifth Old Lion 514 00:24:42,668 --> 00:24:45,388 Speaker 1: Masterminds Summit, I brought to you in part by Metro 515 00:24:45,548 --> 00:24:48,948 Speaker 1: Ford of OKAC and a great kind of little mini 516 00:24:49,068 --> 00:24:52,828 Speaker 1: vacation where a lot of events, former players, college players 517 00:24:52,868 --> 00:24:54,748 Speaker 1: meet and just try to get better at what they're doing. 518 00:24:54,828 --> 00:24:56,588 Speaker 1: And it really has been a great time. And I 519 00:24:56,588 --> 00:24:58,828 Speaker 1: think we're expecting around one hundred and seventy five to 520 00:24:58,908 --> 00:25:02,188 Speaker 1: two hundred people, so it's consistently growing. It's an amazing 521 00:25:02,268 --> 00:25:04,628 Speaker 1: thing you do. I can't even matter imagine what the 522 00:25:04,668 --> 00:25:07,508 Speaker 1: bill is for catering.

Shaun Oyr wishes he could go badly. You know. 525 00:25:12,908 --> 00:25:15,028 Speaker 1: It's funny that we used to work in this place 526 00:25:15,068 --> 00:25:17,268 Speaker 1: where they had this looping video that would run and 527 00:25:17,388 --> 00:25:19,908 Speaker 1: consistently and it was all these NFL players dancing, and 528 00:25:19,948 --> 00:25:22,028 Speaker 1: it was these wide outs doing these amazing moves and 529 00:25:22,068 --> 00:25:25,068 Speaker 1: these running backs, and you were in the loop the 530 00:25:25,188 --> 00:25:27,788 Speaker 1: only alignement and you were doing this crazy move with 531 00:25:27,868 --> 00:25:30,068 Speaker 1: your feet and your leg. You've always been the freakiest 532 00:25:30,108 --> 00:25:33,428 Speaker 1: athlete to that point. You released a video on social 533 00:25:33,428 --> 00:25:36,228 Speaker 1: media this week of you throwing up the lbs on 534 00:25:36,268 --> 00:25:39,508 Speaker 1: the bench and that bar is bending lane. I need 535 00:25:39,548 --> 00:25:42,388 Speaker 1: to know how much weight is this? And dude, how 536 00:25:42,428 --> 00:25:45,508 Speaker 1: are you feeling now? A decade into the league that 537 00:25:45,668 --> 00:25:48,388 Speaker 1: was four sixty five. I feeling a lot better. I 538 00:25:48,508 --> 00:25:51,428 Speaker 1: really really. The past two years I was a struggle 539 00:25:51,468 --> 00:25:54,508 Speaker 1: justca that ankle surgery. I didn't feel quite as explosive 540 00:25:54,548 --> 00:25:57,108 Speaker 1: like in the run games as I felt previously. But 541 00:25:57,628 --> 00:26:00,788 Speaker 1: I'm feeling good. So yeah, bench is nice. But we 542 00:26:00,868 --> 00:26:02,668 Speaker 1: do a lot of leg work too, so a lot 543 00:26:02,668 --> 00:26:05,428 Speaker 1: of that and four So yeah, right now we're in 544 00:26:05,468 --> 00:26:08,788 Speaker 1: the heat of training. Training capt starts to Lot twenty fifth, 545 00:26:08,868 --> 00:26:11,508 Speaker 1: so trying to stay then one quick man, These demons 546 00:26:11,508 --> 00:26:14,268 Speaker 1: and Vans Devens aliveman are getting are getting more freak here, 547 00:26:14,348 --> 00:26:16,428 Speaker 1: so you gotta you gotta try to match them. Those 548 00:26:16,428 --> 00:26:19,748 Speaker 1: guys are pretty fast, pretty strong, and you're keeping up 549 00:26:19,748 --> 00:26:22,068 Speaker 1: with him. That looked to me like this barn that 550 00:26:22,108 --> 00:26:24,468 Speaker 1: you call the bro barn. Is that where that bench 551 00:26:24,508 --> 00:26:27,308 Speaker 1: press took place and that shirtless photo took place a 552 00:26:27,428 --> 00:26:30,268 Speaker 1: man and actually took place here in Oklahoma. My buddy 553 00:26:30,588 --> 00:26:33,628 Speaker 1: Tom Wharton that played with me in college has a 554 00:26:33,708 --> 00:26:36,148 Speaker 1: gym out here. But when I'm not here, my trainer 555 00:26:36,228 --> 00:26:39,108 Speaker 1: is up in Jersey full time. So even when I'm 556 00:26:39,148 --> 00:26:40,748 Speaker 1: not there, a lot of the guys in training, So 557 00:26:40,908 --> 00:26:45,108 Speaker 1: Jaylen Me and Herbie John Running, Junior Caesar, Louise Balding 558 00:26:45,228 --> 00:26:47,668 Speaker 1: or usually usually comes in there. He usually gonna leave 559 00:26:47,668 --> 00:26:49,508 Speaker 1: out his deadlift equipment, so we'll have to put that 560 00:26:49,588 --> 00:26:53,108 Speaker 1: up sometimes, but other than that, it's pretty consistent around there. 561 00:26:53,348 --> 00:26:55,588 Speaker 1: Howie Roseman obviously know this is a crucial season. I 562 00:26:55,588 --> 00:26:57,868 Speaker 1: guess every season is a crucial season, but especially for 563 00:26:58,268 --> 00:27:00,828 Speaker 1: your quarterback. Jail And hurts. So he went out he 564 00:27:00,948 --> 00:27:04,228 Speaker 1: got a j Brown to pair him with Davonte Smith. 565 00:27:04,708 --> 00:27:06,668 Speaker 1: So in You're a page, do you think the Eagles 566 00:27:06,708 --> 00:27:09,708 Speaker 1: have the best wide receiving duo in all of football? 567 00:27:10,068 --> 00:27:11,868 Speaker 1: I guess we'll find out. I know, I know we 568 00:27:11,948 --> 00:27:15,188 Speaker 1: loaded up this all season with some Ammo and the Arsenal, 569 00:27:15,268 --> 00:27:17,668 Speaker 1: but yeah, I was extremely happy to get him to 570 00:27:17,788 --> 00:27:20,588 Speaker 1: paralong with DeVante and the rest of our receiving Ford, Dallas, 571 00:27:20,588 --> 00:27:23,268 Speaker 1: Scottard and tied End Musician. He's just one of those 572 00:27:23,268 --> 00:27:25,108 Speaker 1: guys man, Like I said before, you look at him 573 00:27:25,188 --> 00:27:27,988 Speaker 1: He's about six six one six two two twenty five, 574 00:27:28,148 --> 00:27:31,508 Speaker 1: kind of has that Andre Johnson tight built, very physical. 575 00:27:31,588 --> 00:27:34,028 Speaker 1: So yeah, man, I'm just gonna do my best to 576 00:27:34,148 --> 00:27:36,748 Speaker 1: keep jay lin kleen and let him get the ball out. 577 00:27:36,788 --> 00:27:39,388 Speaker 1: But yeah, man, I'm really excited about Jayden. I think 578 00:27:39,428 --> 00:27:41,428 Speaker 1: you can speak for a lot of players. Usually from 579 00:27:41,428 --> 00:27:45,468 Speaker 1: their first year starting to their second year playing, they 580 00:27:45,508 --> 00:27:47,388 Speaker 1: make a lot of progressions, and I think that's what 581 00:27:47,428 --> 00:27:49,948 Speaker 1: we're all looking for. You always keep the quarterback clean, man, 582 00:27:50,028 --> 00:27:53,588 Speaker 1: something you do. You're also an avid outdoorsman. You understand 583 00:27:53,628 --> 00:27:55,468 Speaker 1: the fishing and the woods and all that. I gotta 584 00:27:55,468 --> 00:27:57,348 Speaker 1: tell you, lame. We had this guy yesterday with the 585 00:27:57,428 --> 00:28:00,068 Speaker 1: Jaguars offensive tackle Juwan Taylor. He comes on the show. 586 00:28:00,388 --> 00:28:02,908 Speaker 1: He hit us with this picture of a four hundred 587 00:28:02,948 --> 00:28:06,868 Speaker 1: pound groupery he pulled out of the water. Your thoughts 588 00:28:06,868 --> 00:28:10,588 Speaker 1: on this lane and give us your own best fishing story. 589 00:28:11,148 --> 00:28:12,948 Speaker 1: I've always seen the videos of the group where I've 590 00:28:12,988 --> 00:28:15,348 Speaker 1: never caught one. I couldn't imagine how long it might 591 00:28:15,388 --> 00:28:17,828 Speaker 1: it took him to get one in. But one time 592 00:28:17,868 --> 00:28:21,308 Speaker 1: I was fishing out of Jupiter, Florida book the Bullshark 593 00:28:22,148 --> 00:28:25,588 Speaker 1: for two hours in about an hour fifty five. I 594 00:28:25,628 --> 00:28:27,068 Speaker 1: was like, dude, you got to come to side. I'm 595 00:28:27,108 --> 00:28:28,868 Speaker 1: not fighting the saying no more. And then as soon 596 00:28:28,868 --> 00:28:31,468 Speaker 1: as I said that, he started slowly dragging up. And really, 597 00:28:31,468 --> 00:28:33,308 Speaker 1: when they get fatigue, they can get some motigue, they'll 598 00:28:33,348 --> 00:28:36,068 Speaker 1: just come up sideways. And that's probably my greatest victory 599 00:28:36,428 --> 00:28:39,828 Speaker 1: including all of sports, was that over that Bullstark. So 600 00:28:39,908 --> 00:28:42,588 Speaker 1: that was my toughest fight. Oh yes, I mean you're 601 00:28:42,628 --> 00:28:44,828 Speaker 1: talking about winning a Super Bowl over Tom Brady and 602 00:28:44,868 --> 00:28:47,988 Speaker 1: the Patriots, but the bull shark takes the crown. I 603 00:28:48,068 --> 00:28:51,708 Speaker 1: absolutely love that. Lady, you are the man this weekend 604 00:28:51,908 --> 00:28:55,028 Speaker 1: ol masterminds. It sounds like a masterclass and it's going 605 00:28:55,068 --> 00:28:57,188 Speaker 1: to be in Frisco, Texas. It's the best of the 606 00:28:57,188 --> 00:28:59,748 Speaker 1: best and they're all trading info and insight and you're 607 00:28:59,828 --> 00:29:01,508 Speaker 1: leading the way. Thanks for all that you do. Ten 608 00:29:01,628 --> 00:29:03,788 Speaker 1: years in the league, Lane Johnson, you have been an 609 00:29:03,788 --> 00:29:07,028 Speaker 1: outstanding player, but you'ren't even outstanding person as well, and 610 00:29:07,068 --> 00:29:09,428 Speaker 1: we appreciate you being on our show. Thanks for having me, guys, 611 00:29:11,508 --> 00:29:25,588 Speaker 1: football football, the Aaron Rodgers talk. There is those two 612 00:29:25,708 --> 00:29:29,428 Speaker 1: no more divorce conscious uncoupling. If you will shout out 613 00:29:29,428 --> 00:29:34,068 Speaker 1: Apple Paltrow but DeVante is now a raider. Aaron Rodgers 614 00:29:34,148 --> 00:29:35,788 Speaker 1: is still a packer. But check this out. You want 615 00:29:35,788 --> 00:29:39,348 Speaker 1: a new take on this. The intrepid Rhet Lewis caught 616 00:29:39,468 --> 00:29:41,868 Speaker 1: up with Brett Farve, who's having a hell of a 617 00:29:41,908 --> 00:29:44,748 Speaker 1: summer at the Senior Bawl Hall of Fame. Just this week. 618 00:29:44,788 --> 00:29:46,868 Speaker 1: Brett's out there in a number four hat talking about 619 00:29:46,948 --> 00:29:49,748 Speaker 1: Rodgers taking away Rtt. You went through some wide receiver 620 00:29:49,828 --> 00:29:52,508 Speaker 1: transition right in your career, whether it was some Sterling 621 00:29:52,508 --> 00:29:55,188 Speaker 1: and Robert and and so on, and you've got you know, 622 00:29:55,228 --> 00:29:57,708 Speaker 1: Aaron now up in Green Bay without Davante Adams the 623 00:29:57,748 --> 00:29:59,948 Speaker 1: first time in a long time. How do you think 624 00:29:59,988 --> 00:30:03,068 Speaker 1: he deals with that sort of transition the same way 625 00:30:03,108 --> 00:30:06,788 Speaker 1: I dealt with it. You just go on, It is 626 00:30:06,828 --> 00:30:10,268 Speaker 1: what it is, you know. I think that the transition 627 00:30:10,348 --> 00:30:13,668 Speaker 1: for me from Stirling to the next receiver, people may 628 00:30:13,708 --> 00:30:17,748 Speaker 1: disagree with what that was harder than Aaron because he's 629 00:30:17,748 --> 00:30:22,028 Speaker 1: more established. If he'll make these guys that are newcomers, 630 00:30:22,548 --> 00:30:25,228 Speaker 1: our first or second year guys, he'll make them better. 631 00:30:25,588 --> 00:30:28,988 Speaker 1: He'll be productive as he always is. All right, So 632 00:30:29,108 --> 00:30:31,908 Speaker 1: Brett and Brett, we got takes. Brett says he'll be 633 00:30:31,948 --> 00:30:35,148 Speaker 1: as productive as he always is. Willie, though with all 634 00:30:35,188 --> 00:30:38,068 Speaker 1: due respected Brett Farves thoughts on the situation, Let's go 635 00:30:38,108 --> 00:30:40,668 Speaker 1: to some real authorities on the Packers quarterback. The four 636 00:30:40,708 --> 00:30:43,148 Speaker 1: of us here on the show, do we think seriously 637 00:30:43,428 --> 00:30:45,268 Speaker 1: in a Super Bowl er bus season like they all 638 00:30:45,308 --> 00:30:48,828 Speaker 1: are for Green Bay? Does losing somebody like Devontae change 639 00:30:48,908 --> 00:30:51,108 Speaker 1: that conversation and will they take a step back? Will 640 00:30:51,108 --> 00:30:55,948 Speaker 1: Selva follow Brett Farve's response with your own concern? Yes, panic, No, 641 00:30:56,388 --> 00:30:59,348 Speaker 1: you know why because we've seen this before. Let's show 642 00:30:59,428 --> 00:31:03,428 Speaker 1: highlights of what happened a week eight between the Cardinals 643 00:31:03,428 --> 00:31:06,508 Speaker 1: and the Packers, a little sampling of what it was 644 00:31:06,588 --> 00:31:11,068 Speaker 1: like with life and without Davante Adams. Remember this was 645 00:31:11,108 --> 00:31:14,588 Speaker 1: an undefeated Cardinals team that was on a roll. The 646 00:31:14,628 --> 00:31:17,948 Speaker 1: Packers pulled off the twenty four twenty one win, and 647 00:31:18,068 --> 00:31:21,548 Speaker 1: they did it without Davante Adams. Yes, that is rynold 648 00:31:21,588 --> 00:31:23,828 Speaker 1: Cobb making the catch there. But let's check out some 649 00:31:23,828 --> 00:31:26,388 Speaker 1: of the numbers from that game. They got one hundred 650 00:31:26,508 --> 00:31:30,188 Speaker 1: eighty eight combined scrimmage yards from running backs Aaron Jones 651 00:31:30,228 --> 00:31:33,428 Speaker 1: and AJ Dillon. They didn't get more than thirty yards 652 00:31:33,428 --> 00:31:36,908 Speaker 1: out of a wide receiver and Aaron Rodgers finished with 653 00:31:36,988 --> 00:31:39,588 Speaker 1: just one hundred and eighty four and two touchdowns. May 654 00:31:39,628 --> 00:31:41,868 Speaker 1: not look the same as it's looked in the pass. 655 00:31:42,268 --> 00:31:45,228 Speaker 1: Rodgers may not put up the eye popping numbers, but 656 00:31:45,268 --> 00:31:48,668 Speaker 1: I think this offense can still be lethal. You may 657 00:31:48,708 --> 00:31:51,628 Speaker 1: not get the three hundred yards every single game out 658 00:31:51,668 --> 00:31:54,468 Speaker 1: of Aaron Rodgers, but I think this offense, as long 659 00:31:54,468 --> 00:31:56,948 Speaker 1: as they utilize and Aaron Jones like they did in 660 00:31:57,108 --> 00:31:59,868 Speaker 1: that game, you know, Peter, they could they could make 661 00:31:59,908 --> 00:32:02,188 Speaker 1: this thing work. I mean, we're talking about a future 662 00:32:02,228 --> 00:32:04,908 Speaker 1: Hall of Famer under centered, so as long as he's there, 663 00:32:05,468 --> 00:32:08,348 Speaker 1: they can make this thing work. Peter, we should and Kyle. 664 00:32:08,348 --> 00:32:10,708 Speaker 1: After the show, we're gonna get Lynn Dickey and magic 665 00:32:10,748 --> 00:32:13,708 Speaker 1: Man Mkowski and we're gonna get all the Packers quarterbacks 666 00:32:13,788 --> 00:32:15,868 Speaker 1: to talk about this and then come to us for 667 00:32:15,948 --> 00:32:19,348 Speaker 1: our thoughts. But you know, if not just Tavante though, 668 00:32:19,388 --> 00:32:22,108 Speaker 1: Like I know, the question is are you concerned without Adams? 669 00:32:22,108 --> 00:32:26,068 Speaker 1: But I think it's being very, very very underdiscussed that 670 00:32:26,108 --> 00:32:29,028 Speaker 1: they lost their offensive coordinator Nathaniel Hackett. And not only 671 00:32:29,108 --> 00:32:31,348 Speaker 1: Nathaniel Hackett because he goes to be a head coach 672 00:32:31,388 --> 00:32:34,508 Speaker 1: with the Broncos, but even quieter than that is they 673 00:32:34,548 --> 00:32:37,108 Speaker 1: lost their quarterbacks coach Luke Getsy, who was running that 674 00:32:37,228 --> 00:32:39,988 Speaker 1: room and was kind of handling the Rogers love marriage. 675 00:32:39,988 --> 00:32:44,308 Speaker 1: And then you're losing two of your offensive masterminds. And 676 00:32:44,308 --> 00:32:46,388 Speaker 1: I know lafloor is an offensive coach, but you're putting 677 00:32:46,388 --> 00:32:48,428 Speaker 1: a lot on the play of a young guy. Let 678 00:32:48,428 --> 00:32:52,468 Speaker 1: me introduce you, guys to Adam Sevanovich. Okay, Adam Spanovich 679 00:32:52,788 --> 00:32:57,028 Speaker 1: played at Michigan. He was the offensive line coach last year. 680 00:32:57,588 --> 00:33:00,788 Speaker 1: He has been rising up the ranks with the Packers, 681 00:33:01,148 --> 00:33:04,308 Speaker 1: but he's gonna be the offensive quarter right coordinator right now. 682 00:33:04,468 --> 00:33:07,068 Speaker 1: That's a huge title. There's a guy who's had a 683 00:33:07,268 --> 00:33:11,868 Speaker 1: rocket like rise up the org chart, Adams Sanetovic. I'm 684 00:33:11,868 --> 00:33:13,708 Speaker 1: saying it all wrong. I remember him as a player 685 00:33:13,708 --> 00:33:16,028 Speaker 1: and he's a great, great offensive line coach. And look, 686 00:33:16,268 --> 00:33:18,628 Speaker 1: this is a young guy. He was playing college ball 687 00:33:18,628 --> 00:33:22,228 Speaker 1: when Rogers already drafted by the Packers in two thousand 688 00:33:22,268 --> 00:33:25,268 Speaker 1: and five. So I look at this coaching staff and 689 00:33:25,308 --> 00:33:28,668 Speaker 1: I know Laflora has had great success, but two of 690 00:33:28,708 --> 00:33:30,868 Speaker 1: his top lieutenants on the offensive side of the ball 691 00:33:30,908 --> 00:33:33,868 Speaker 1: are gone. I know Tom Clements is coming back. You're tired, 692 00:33:33,908 --> 00:33:36,228 Speaker 1: he's sixty eight years old. I'm not sure that that's 693 00:33:36,268 --> 00:33:38,948 Speaker 1: the best option at this stage of Rogers's career either. 694 00:33:38,948 --> 00:33:41,828 Speaker 1: As you're talking to innovation and all that, I am concerned. 695 00:33:41,988 --> 00:33:44,268 Speaker 1: I think Adams is one of the top three wide 696 00:33:44,268 --> 00:33:46,148 Speaker 1: receivers in the league. And I think you're losing two 697 00:33:46,228 --> 00:33:49,868 Speaker 1: really really important offensive minds in that room in both 698 00:33:49,908 --> 00:33:51,788 Speaker 1: Hackett and Luke Ketzy, and you're putting a lot in 699 00:33:51,788 --> 00:33:54,628 Speaker 1: the plate of a young offensive line coach who's now 700 00:33:54,668 --> 00:33:56,668 Speaker 1: going to be the offensive coordinator for the first time 701 00:33:56,668 --> 00:33:58,948 Speaker 1: in his career. Yeah. Sure, that's a great point. And 702 00:33:58,988 --> 00:34:01,468 Speaker 1: that's who's in Aaron Rodgers ear, you know, in between 703 00:34:01,468 --> 00:34:03,588 Speaker 1: every play and guess what if you don't have to 704 00:34:03,628 --> 00:34:06,068 Speaker 1: play ready on down for Aaron Rodgers, Like he's gonna 705 00:34:06,068 --> 00:34:08,468 Speaker 1: be looking at us, Hey, let's go. Like So that's 706 00:34:08,508 --> 00:34:11,388 Speaker 1: absolutely an integral part of this whole offense. I think 707 00:34:11,428 --> 00:34:13,268 Speaker 1: it's great that we got Brett Farve weighing in on 708 00:34:13,308 --> 00:34:16,788 Speaker 1: Aaron Rodgers here, and obviously their relationship has come full 709 00:34:16,788 --> 00:34:18,828 Speaker 1: circle now and I know everybody is like, hey, look, 710 00:34:18,828 --> 00:34:20,868 Speaker 1: they're friends and that's great and they're type but look, 711 00:34:21,228 --> 00:34:23,988 Speaker 1: don't think for a second Aaron Rodgers is not still 712 00:34:24,028 --> 00:34:27,748 Speaker 1: competing against Brett Farve and his legacy. All right, Look, 713 00:34:27,788 --> 00:34:31,428 Speaker 1: Aaron Rodgers just won the back MVP two seasons in 714 00:34:31,468 --> 00:34:34,428 Speaker 1: a row. Look, it's only happened five times in the 715 00:34:34,468 --> 00:34:37,268 Speaker 1: history of the NFL. But Brett Farve is the only 716 00:34:37,268 --> 00:34:40,428 Speaker 1: player in the history of the NFL to win three 717 00:34:40,628 --> 00:34:43,428 Speaker 1: consecutive MVP trophies. So, look, Aaron Rodgers wants to win 718 00:34:43,468 --> 00:34:46,388 Speaker 1: football games and Super Bowl trophies. But there's also that 719 00:34:46,428 --> 00:34:48,508 Speaker 1: aspect of it that I'm sure he's pushing himself and 720 00:34:48,548 --> 00:34:51,828 Speaker 1: motivating himself. So the question is Aaron Rodgers Kenny do 721 00:34:51,868 --> 00:34:55,108 Speaker 1: it without Davante Adams. Damante Adams just broke the Green 722 00:34:55,148 --> 00:34:58,268 Speaker 1: May Packers record for receiving yards in a season. You 723 00:34:58,268 --> 00:35:01,308 Speaker 1: know his record he broke It was Jordy Nelson's, all right, 724 00:35:01,348 --> 00:35:04,348 Speaker 1: who said it with Aaron Rodgers. So for Aaron Rodgers, yes, 725 00:35:04,388 --> 00:35:07,468 Speaker 1: he's gonna have to find a way to create that production. 726 00:35:08,268 --> 00:35:10,268 Speaker 1: Canny do it, one guy. I don't think that record 727 00:35:10,308 --> 00:35:11,948 Speaker 1: is gonna get broken for the next couple of years. 728 00:35:12,348 --> 00:35:15,508 Speaker 1: But it's this production that we're seeing right now that 729 00:35:15,708 --> 00:35:20,108 Speaker 1: made DeVante adams value skyrocket in this office and This 730 00:35:20,148 --> 00:35:23,348 Speaker 1: is what drove the offense to those thirteen wins two 731 00:35:23,388 --> 00:35:26,148 Speaker 1: seasons in a row, because it's not about yards, it's 732 00:35:26,148 --> 00:35:28,388 Speaker 1: about getting points. It's about score touchdown when you get 733 00:35:28,388 --> 00:35:30,388 Speaker 1: down there in the red zone. Their ability to make 734 00:35:30,468 --> 00:35:32,268 Speaker 1: up these plays, whether it's a jet sweep like that, 735 00:35:32,428 --> 00:35:35,228 Speaker 1: or whether it's a pivot route, whether it's hey knowing 736 00:35:35,268 --> 00:35:37,068 Speaker 1: that they think we're gonna run the fade, so we're 737 00:35:37,108 --> 00:35:40,668 Speaker 1: gonna run the fake fade slant. It's that next level 738 00:35:40,748 --> 00:35:43,508 Speaker 1: thinking that he and DeVante had, that he and Christian 739 00:35:43,508 --> 00:35:45,388 Speaker 1: Wats are gonna have to get to, and he's gonna 740 00:35:45,388 --> 00:35:46,428 Speaker 1: have to get to with some of these other guys. 741 00:35:46,428 --> 00:35:48,588 Speaker 1: Somebody's gonna have to step up with that red zone production. 742 00:35:49,268 --> 00:35:50,788 Speaker 1: And it's not just gonna be able to come for 743 00:35:50,908 --> 00:35:53,588 Speaker 1: one guy. That can't just be Robert Tunyan either. I'm 744 00:35:53,628 --> 00:35:57,548 Speaker 1: just picturing it. It's around week thirteen and there's Pat 745 00:35:57,628 --> 00:36:00,948 Speaker 1: mcafe's standing up there in his black wide banded tank 746 00:36:00,988 --> 00:36:03,508 Speaker 1: top and he's got a hammer dip in and he's 747 00:36:03,548 --> 00:36:06,188 Speaker 1: just doing his thing, and he asked Aaron how the 748 00:36:06,268 --> 00:36:08,628 Speaker 1: season's going, and some of the doubters in the office, 749 00:36:08,988 --> 00:36:10,948 Speaker 1: and Roger's gonna be sitting there his bookshelf and his 750 00:36:11,028 --> 00:36:13,628 Speaker 1: brick wall and his hair and his his movie line 751 00:36:13,668 --> 00:36:16,868 Speaker 1: T shirt is oh yeah, you know it's a it's 752 00:36:16,908 --> 00:36:18,868 Speaker 1: just too bad and it's so many doubts about us 753 00:36:18,868 --> 00:36:21,228 Speaker 1: and another step back we were going to take with Davante. 754 00:36:21,348 --> 00:36:22,788 Speaker 1: I just wonder where those people are, not like you 755 00:36:22,788 --> 00:36:26,108 Speaker 1: guys know that that's that's definitely happening. That exact exchange 756 00:36:26,388 --> 00:36:29,228 Speaker 1: is going to happen when they're I don't know, take 757 00:36:29,268 --> 00:36:32,508 Speaker 1: a pick ten and three, eleven and two, maybe slip 758 00:36:32,588 --> 00:36:35,668 Speaker 1: up to nine and four. Davante Adam was not holding 759 00:36:35,668 --> 00:36:38,788 Speaker 1: the Green Bay Packers organization up like Atlas. He was 760 00:36:38,828 --> 00:36:41,548 Speaker 1: an extremely talented wide receiver them for a few years. 761 00:36:41,748 --> 00:36:45,308 Speaker 1: And the whole show is number twelve. I don't care 762 00:36:45,308 --> 00:36:47,028 Speaker 1: who it is. I don't care if it's a fullback 763 00:36:47,068 --> 00:36:49,988 Speaker 1: he's throwing two or a tackle eligible. He'll figure it out. 764 00:36:50,148 --> 00:36:53,228 Speaker 1: The more interesting question for me is like, I just 765 00:36:53,268 --> 00:36:55,068 Speaker 1: don't care how many games they win in the regular say, 766 00:36:55,068 --> 00:36:56,908 Speaker 1: I know it's gonna be a lot. The Devantae Adams 767 00:36:56,988 --> 00:37:00,628 Speaker 1: question is going to be about one game, maybe one drive, shoot, 768 00:37:00,668 --> 00:37:03,388 Speaker 1: maybe one play when they're in the playoff game somewhere 769 00:37:03,468 --> 00:37:06,908 Speaker 1: and it's like, well, man, Sammy Watkins is out there 770 00:37:06,948 --> 00:37:09,988 Speaker 1: and we need eleven yards against the Niners in the snow, 771 00:37:10,228 --> 00:37:12,668 Speaker 1: or the Saints or the Rams or whoever the hell 772 00:37:12,708 --> 00:37:15,188 Speaker 1: it is. You just look at the roster and you're like, well, 773 00:37:15,268 --> 00:37:18,188 Speaker 1: like Aaron Jones is good, and you know Sammy Watkins 774 00:37:18,268 --> 00:37:20,308 Speaker 1: is fast and famous and have been on a lot 775 00:37:20,308 --> 00:37:24,388 Speaker 1: of teams. I don't really care. I really don't. I 776 00:37:24,508 --> 00:37:26,228 Speaker 1: just know it's number twelve and they're going to rip 777 00:37:26,268 --> 00:37:28,028 Speaker 1: off a bunch of wins and beat up some teams. 778 00:37:28,548 --> 00:37:31,268 Speaker 1: Will they win that one game? And will Davante Apps 779 00:37:31,308 --> 00:37:32,988 Speaker 1: make a difference in that one game because he's sure 780 00:37:33,028 --> 00:37:35,268 Speaker 1: as l didn't last year. I think he's a great player. 781 00:37:35,308 --> 00:37:39,428 Speaker 1: But I think you are inexchangeable between amongst the Packers receivers. 782 00:37:39,588 --> 00:37:42,028 Speaker 1: I hate to say it because I respect Hivante, but 783 00:37:42,068 --> 00:37:44,028 Speaker 1: the bumps will be next guys, so we gotta get 784 00:37:44,068 --> 00:37:46,188 Speaker 1: out of here. It's all kinds of Aaron Rodgers talk. 785 00:37:46,228 --> 00:37:47,948 Speaker 1: We love doing it. I can't wait for that moment 786 00:37:47,948 --> 00:37:48,788 Speaker 1: on the back of the show. The
