What do we think 68 00:03:33,988 --> 00:03:34,748 Speaker 3: we're fired up for? 69 00:03:34,788 --> 00:03:36,028 Speaker 2: This? This is what it's all about. 70 00:03:36,748 --> 00:03:39,188 Speaker 5: Zach Wilson in this version joking getting ready to play 71 00:03:39,188 --> 00:03:41,708 Speaker 5: in the game a little different. Unlet's pressure you go 72 00:03:41,788 --> 00:03:44,548 Speaker 5: out there and do your thing. I'm looking forward to 73 00:03:45,108 --> 00:03:46,988 Speaker 5: a few weeks ago. We had Dalvin Cook on our 74 00:03:47,028 --> 00:03:48,948 Speaker 5: show here on a Friday, and he was getting ready 75 00:03:48,948 --> 00:03:50,908 Speaker 5: to go on a visit to the Jets that week, 76 00:03:50,948 --> 00:03:52,908 Speaker 5: and we asked him, Hey, what are the chances of 77 00:03:52,948 --> 00:03:55,748 Speaker 5: you signed it? And he said very high. I want 78 00:03:55,788 --> 00:03:57,988 Speaker 5: to know all about that visit. What is it that 79 00:03:58,068 --> 00:04:00,428 Speaker 5: takes place on the free agent visit of a guy 80 00:04:00,428 --> 00:04:02,948 Speaker 5: at that caliber at this point, he was out there 81 00:04:03,148 --> 00:04:06,268 Speaker 5: at practice. Why the Jets go through things? Is there 82 00:04:06,308 --> 00:04:08,388 Speaker 5: a contract on the table? Is there's some behind the 83 00:04:08,388 --> 00:04:11,388 Speaker 5: scenes shots of what the Jets brass are talking about 84 00:04:11,428 --> 00:04:14,508 Speaker 5: in regards to bringing Dalvin Cook on this team, because 85 00:04:14,668 --> 00:04:16,908 Speaker 5: as of today he is still a free agent. So 86 00:04:17,068 --> 00:04:19,748 Speaker 5: I want to know what happens. Schrager was at practice 87 00:04:19,748 --> 00:04:21,588 Speaker 5: that day. I want to know if there's some scenes 88 00:04:21,628 --> 00:04:24,068 Speaker 5: where Shregs is in there, maybe talking to Dalvin Cook 89 00:04:24,148 --> 00:04:26,388 Speaker 5: because he had the hat on the NFL plus Mike, 90 00:04:26,428 --> 00:04:28,588 Speaker 5: the whole nine. I want to see all of this 91 00:04:28,708 --> 00:04:31,188 Speaker 5: on Hard Knocks. But You don't often get a behind 92 00:04:31,188 --> 00:04:33,708 Speaker 5: the scenes look out of free agent going on a 93 00:04:33,828 --> 00:04:36,268 Speaker 5: visit from a team's perspective, So I would love to 94 00:04:36,308 --> 00:04:38,308 Speaker 5: see that version of it and see what the team 95 00:04:38,348 --> 00:04:39,148 Speaker 5: had to say about Dalvin. 96 00:04:39,388 --> 00:04:41,468 Speaker 4: I love that I was there that day that he visited, 97 00:04:41,508 --> 00:04:43,268 Speaker 4: and I spoke with Dalvin for a while, but he 98 00:04:43,308 --> 00:04:46,188 Speaker 4: also was standing with Woody and Chris Johnson for two 99 00:04:46,228 --> 00:04:48,108 Speaker 4: hours during practice. You think about it, now, this is 100 00:04:48,108 --> 00:04:52,388 Speaker 4: over a week ago. They basically let him come watch practice, 101 00:04:52,468 --> 00:04:54,468 Speaker 4: be in the building, experience all that, and still have 102 00:04:54,588 --> 00:04:56,748 Speaker 4: been signed. I'd be fascinating here with the conversations we're 103 00:04:56,788 --> 00:04:59,228 Speaker 4: behind closed doors. I'm going to go around that same 104 00:04:59,228 --> 00:05:02,668 Speaker 4: time period because I think Obama's dropped Oppenheimer reference in 105 00:05:03,668 --> 00:05:07,268 Speaker 4: the Jets' facify when they got the quotes from Sean Payton. 106 00:05:07,708 --> 00:05:10,748 Speaker 4: I say, today and things were going smoothly, and things 107 00:05:10,788 --> 00:05:12,788 Speaker 4: were going fine, and then all of a sudden, out 108 00:05:12,788 --> 00:05:17,268 Speaker 4: of nowhere, Nathaniel Hackett's coaching ability and pride was was attacked, 109 00:05:17,268 --> 00:05:20,548 Speaker 4: and also the Jets as a whole. As Sean Payton said, 110 00:05:20,548 --> 00:05:21,828 Speaker 4: you know the Jets doing that hard knocks that it 111 00:05:21,868 --> 00:05:23,628 Speaker 4: reminds me of the two thousand Redskins when I was 112 00:05:23,628 --> 00:05:26,188 Speaker 4: with the Giants and they got Dion Sanders and they. 113 00:05:26,068 --> 00:05:26,828 Speaker 3: Had a dream team. 114 00:05:27,028 --> 00:05:31,188 Speaker 4: They won eight games, and what were the conversations like 115 00:05:31,308 --> 00:05:33,588 Speaker 4: because the Jets we heard Robert Salas. 116 00:05:33,308 --> 00:05:35,388 Speaker 3: Say if they ain't hating, we ain't popping. 117 00:05:35,588 --> 00:05:37,948 Speaker 4: Okay, that was a quote, which I don't know where 118 00:05:37,948 --> 00:05:40,108 Speaker 4: that came from, and I still am trying to decipher it. Coach, 119 00:05:40,108 --> 00:05:41,388 Speaker 4: if you want to text me and tell me what 120 00:05:41,388 --> 00:05:41,868 Speaker 4: that one meant. 121 00:05:42,868 --> 00:05:47,188 Speaker 1: Peter, is there going to be room for sala on 122 00:05:47,188 --> 00:05:47,428 Speaker 1: the show? 123 00:05:47,468 --> 00:05:49,748 Speaker 2: Is They're just going to be the whole up here. 124 00:05:49,828 --> 00:05:50,908 Speaker 1: Peter's going to be all over hard. 125 00:05:51,028 --> 00:05:51,268 Speaker 2: That's it. 126 00:05:51,268 --> 00:05:52,588 Speaker 3: I'm gonna roll my sleeves up. 127 00:05:52,588 --> 00:05:54,548 Speaker 4: And Kenny Moore because I think the other part of 128 00:05:54,548 --> 00:05:58,468 Speaker 4: it is what were the conversations between Hackett and the 129 00:05:58,508 --> 00:06:01,228 Speaker 4: coaching staff and the guys when those quotes came out? 130 00:06:01,308 --> 00:06:03,468 Speaker 3: And we're going to see a vulnerability? Are we going 131 00:06:03,508 --> 00:06:05,588 Speaker 3: to see what he was enraged? Like? 132 00:06:05,988 --> 00:06:08,228 Speaker 4: I know that's already in the rear view mirror and 133 00:06:08,268 --> 00:06:10,068 Speaker 4: six million people watched a preseason game and. 134 00:06:10,028 --> 00:06:12,668 Speaker 3: We moved on. They have cameras all over. 135 00:06:12,788 --> 00:06:14,748 Speaker 4: I would love to see what those conversations were and 136 00:06:15,268 --> 00:06:16,228 Speaker 4: he took the high road. 137 00:06:17,188 --> 00:06:19,508 Speaker 3: I wonder if he wanted to take some different roads. 138 00:06:19,828 --> 00:06:21,668 Speaker 1: Well, the road we want to see is the reaction 139 00:06:21,788 --> 00:06:25,388 Speaker 1: shot of people in the facility reading or sharing news 140 00:06:25,388 --> 00:06:27,548 Speaker 1: about the interview that was the current article. When that 141 00:06:27,628 --> 00:06:30,268 Speaker 1: article came out, the Jarret Bell piece, we were sitting 142 00:06:30,308 --> 00:06:32,588 Speaker 1: here reading it off our phone, reading the quotes to 143 00:06:32,628 --> 00:06:34,348 Speaker 1: each other, like can you believe this? I want to 144 00:06:34,348 --> 00:06:36,628 Speaker 1: see the Jets doing Rogers. I want to see solid 145 00:06:36,628 --> 00:06:39,308 Speaker 1: I want to see everybody. But what I'm looking forward 146 00:06:39,308 --> 00:06:41,988 Speaker 1: to I'm looking forward to Rogers. Is Rogers the best 147 00:06:41,988 --> 00:06:44,188 Speaker 1: player to ever be on Hard Knocks ever? I mean, 148 00:06:44,228 --> 00:06:46,188 Speaker 1: Tony Gonzalez was featured on it. A lot of really 149 00:06:46,188 --> 00:06:50,068 Speaker 1: good players to a quarterback though, And I have the 150 00:06:50,108 --> 00:06:55,068 Speaker 1: empirical evidence MVPs to be featured on the season of 151 00:06:55,108 --> 00:06:56,628 Speaker 1: Hard Knocks. I mean, and they already have it. Not 152 00:06:56,668 --> 00:06:58,228 Speaker 1: they're going to win it five years from now. That's 153 00:06:58,268 --> 00:07:01,588 Speaker 1: the entire list. So that's emmittt in his final year 154 00:07:01,588 --> 00:07:04,868 Speaker 1: as a Cowboy. It's a Dave Campos season. Dany in 155 00:07:04,908 --> 00:07:07,148 Speaker 1: his first year with the Jets. They barely focused on 156 00:07:07,188 --> 00:07:08,588 Speaker 1: him at all. It was all about Rex Ryan and 157 00:07:08,588 --> 00:07:11,828 Speaker 1: Antonio Carmarti's kids, and now you got Rogers, who's going 158 00:07:11,908 --> 00:07:14,868 Speaker 1: to be like geddl Fini was on The Sopranos, He's 159 00:07:14,908 --> 00:07:16,948 Speaker 1: going to be everywhere. I think it's the best player 160 00:07:16,988 --> 00:07:19,868 Speaker 1: we have ever had on it, and certainly, you know, 161 00:07:19,948 --> 00:07:22,868 Speaker 1: the most compelling. From a media perspective. Understand the thing 162 00:07:22,868 --> 00:07:25,988 Speaker 1: about Rogers and the media. I think Rogers truly enjoys 163 00:07:26,028 --> 00:07:28,708 Speaker 1: the media. I think he likes the idea of journalism 164 00:07:28,788 --> 00:07:31,348 Speaker 1: and the art of interviews and good answers. So he 165 00:07:31,388 --> 00:07:33,108 Speaker 1: came out and said they shoved it down our throats. 166 00:07:33,148 --> 00:07:35,148 Speaker 1: I think in a way he is probably titillated by 167 00:07:35,188 --> 00:07:37,388 Speaker 1: Hard Knocks because it's a new opportunity to explore it 168 00:07:37,388 --> 00:07:40,108 Speaker 1: and experience it. He will have quotes, he will give access. 169 00:07:40,148 --> 00:07:41,388 Speaker 1: I think he will be all over this thing. I 170 00:07:41,468 --> 00:07:43,148 Speaker 1: do not think this is going to be Rogers slamming 171 00:07:43,188 --> 00:07:46,708 Speaker 1: doors and cameras or anything like that. I'm still fascinated 172 00:07:46,708 --> 00:07:48,748 Speaker 1: by the libs. Schreiber cameo.

You think he was filming something. 204 00:09:03,948 --> 00:09:04,908 Speaker 1: He probably a lot of money. 205 00:09:04,908 --> 00:09:06,428 Speaker 3: They don't want to give it to him. Yeah, probably was 206 00:09:06,428 --> 00:09:10,388 Speaker 3: the contract issue. That's justly what it is. Paul rud 207 00:09:10,468 --> 00:09:14,028 Speaker 3: And we talk Leev Straubert with a writer's skilled strike 208 00:09:14,108 --> 00:09:15,268 Speaker 3: and you're gonna have you filled? 209 00:09:15,788 --> 00:09:17,628 Speaker 4: Do you feel like Rogers could have like a moment 210 00:09:17,628 --> 00:09:20,028 Speaker 4: in August, Like people are just like waiting for celebrities 211 00:09:20,028 --> 00:09:21,628 Speaker 4: to fill the void, and they're one's doing any media 212 00:09:21,628 --> 00:09:22,388 Speaker 4: and they're not allowed to. 213 00:09:22,308 --> 00:09:24,428 Speaker 2: Promote there, you mean, a bigger moment than he had 214 00:09:24,468 --> 00:09:25,948 Speaker 2: in April May, and he's like. 215 00:09:26,148 --> 00:09:28,228 Speaker 3: Crossing over like when you get on Hard Knocks. 216 00:09:28,428 --> 00:09:30,828 Speaker 4: There are people who don't follow football, who watch interesting 217 00:09:30,948 --> 00:09:33,948 Speaker 4: and we have a void of celebrities out there marketing themselves. 218 00:09:34,028 --> 00:09:36,668 Speaker 4: I think Rogers. 219 00:09:36,268 --> 00:09:39,308 Speaker 2: Moment, I'm in face with that because you watch just 220 00:09:39,388 --> 00:09:42,068 Speaker 2: that clip and you hear Sala's voice who we don't 221 00:09:42,108 --> 00:09:45,148 Speaker 2: know like by familiarity even he said the comment, and 222 00:09:45,148 --> 00:09:47,428 Speaker 2: you've said who is that and Sala, So we don't 223 00:09:47,468 --> 00:09:49,908 Speaker 2: have voice recognition for Sali yet, so then we see 224 00:09:49,908 --> 00:09:52,668 Speaker 2: that it's Sala and Aaron Rodgers talking. Aaron Rodgers knows 225 00:09:52,708 --> 00:09:55,308 Speaker 2: what he's doing, man. I think similar to the Sean 226 00:09:55,388 --> 00:09:58,188 Speaker 2: Payton vain like, I think everything he does is with calculation. 227 00:09:58,268 --> 00:10:00,788 Speaker 2: So for him to be standing there knowing he's miked up, 228 00:10:01,068 --> 00:10:03,748 Speaker 2: knowing the cameras are watching him, yet still with the 229 00:10:03,788 --> 00:10:07,228 Speaker 2: hand over the mouth and like, yo, we're listening to you, 230 00:10:07,348 --> 00:10:09,908 Speaker 2: like this isn't gonna but it's discreet and it makes 231 00:10:09,908 --> 00:10:12,508 Speaker 2: you feel like it's secretive.

He knows that Hollywood life. I think 234 00:10:18,028 --> 00:10:20,988 Speaker 2: everything Aaron Rodgers touches on this show is gonna be gold. 235 00:10:21,068 --> 00:10:23,548 Speaker 1: Do you think that Rogers, who is the first member 236 00:10:23,548 --> 00:10:26,308 Speaker 1: of the Jets organization showed tonight in the episode. 237 00:10:26,028 --> 00:10:26,468 Speaker 6: Who do you think? 238 00:10:26,508 --> 00:10:27,868 Speaker 2: Are they gonna try to throw us off? Are they 239 00:10:27,908 --> 00:10:28,628 Speaker 2: gonna lean into. 240 00:10:28,508 --> 00:10:29,548 Speaker 3: The obvious prediction? 241 00:10:29,828 --> 00:10:30,508 Speaker 6: Jason? What do you think? 242 00:10:31,108 --> 00:10:32,868 Speaker 3: Okay?

They've done a lot. 245 00:10:38,908 --> 00:10:41,988 Speaker 1: Is it's the exterior shot and it's night and you 246 00:10:42,028 --> 00:10:43,828 Speaker 1: look up in the building and there's one light on 247 00:10:44,028 --> 00:10:46,588 Speaker 1: in one window and it's the head coach's office, and 248 00:10:46,628 --> 00:10:48,628 Speaker 1: I think it's solid in there, and he's working at 249 00:10:48,628 --> 00:10:51,068 Speaker 1: three am. It'll be a timestamp and everything, and I 250 00:10:51,068 --> 00:10:52,188 Speaker 1: think he's it's gonna. 251 00:10:52,068 --> 00:10:57,948 Speaker 4: I'm gonna make a condiction, most viewed, highest stream season 252 00:10:57,988 --> 00:10:58,748 Speaker 4: of Hard Knocks ever. 253 00:10:58,908 --> 00:11:01,148 Speaker 1: Okay, more than the Rex Ryan season, all that, more. 254 00:11:00,988 --> 00:11:03,188 Speaker 3: Than all ye okay.

Absolutely. 259 00:11:14,548 --> 00:11:18,428 Speaker 4: Here are the top ten from the NFL one hundred 260 00:11:18,508 --> 00:11:21,348 Speaker 4: member voted on by the players. I will tip my 261 00:11:21,428 --> 00:11:26,068 Speaker 4: cap to my colleague Jason mccordy, who had the exact 262 00:11:26,108 --> 00:11:30,108 Speaker 4: top three predicted yesterday, the Mahomes, Jefferson and Hurts. I 263 00:11:30,148 --> 00:11:32,708 Speaker 4: don't think anyone else on the table had that combination 264 00:11:32,788 --> 00:11:34,308 Speaker 4: one two three. Wait here they are. Here are the 265 00:11:34,348 --> 00:11:35,948 Speaker 4: top ten voted on by the players. 266 00:11:36,508 --> 00:11:37,428 Speaker 3: Now we break it down. 267 00:11:37,508 --> 00:11:39,708 Speaker 4: It's time for we in or we out, presented by 268 00:11:39,828 --> 00:11:42,548 Speaker 4: Progressive inearance Patrick Mahomes. 269 00:11:42,748 --> 00:11:43,468 Speaker 3: He's number one. 270 00:11:43,548 --> 00:11:45,748 Speaker 4: We know that he makes us a second appearance as 271 00:11:45,748 --> 00:11:47,508 Speaker 4: a number one player in the league, as voted on 272 00:11:47,588 --> 00:11:50,988 Speaker 4: by the players. As we look at that list right there, 273 00:11:50,988 --> 00:11:53,428 Speaker 4: here's the statement. You guys tell me whether it is 274 00:11:54,388 --> 00:11:56,748 Speaker 4: accurate or not, and whether you're in or you're out. 275 00:11:56,988 --> 00:11:59,868 Speaker 4: The players got the list right this year, taking anywhere 276 00:11:59,948 --> 00:12:02,268 Speaker 4: you want. Top one hundred. The players got it right, 277 00:12:02,948 --> 00:12:04,388 Speaker 4: Jason your first. 278 00:12:04,708 --> 00:12:07,068 Speaker 5: Anytime you have a list, it doesn't matter who's on 279 00:12:07,468 --> 00:12:11,108 Speaker 5: what order, you're always going to say absolutely not, I'm out. 280 00:12:11,308 --> 00:12:12,308 Speaker 2: They didn't get it right. 281 00:12:12,788 --> 00:12:16,468 Speaker 5: I look at the quarterback position. Lamar Jackson was seventy two, 282 00:12:16,668 --> 00:12:18,748 Speaker 5: Trevor Lawrence was ninety six. 283 00:12:19,188 --> 00:12:20,708 Speaker 3: I look at like guys. 284 00:12:20,428 --> 00:12:23,348 Speaker 5: Like that, and they can be all the way at 285 00:12:23,388 --> 00:12:25,508 Speaker 5: the very end of the list. I think these are 286 00:12:25,548 --> 00:12:27,428 Speaker 5: guys that you look at it next year and we're 287 00:12:27,428 --> 00:12:29,148 Speaker 5: doing this top one hundred, they're going to be at 288 00:12:29,188 --> 00:12:30,948 Speaker 5: the very top of the list. And I think even 289 00:12:30,988 --> 00:12:34,028 Speaker 5: from their performances last season, they should have been higher 290 00:12:34,068 --> 00:12:36,788 Speaker 5: on this list. So I don't think the players got 291 00:12:36,828 --> 00:12:39,508 Speaker 5: it right. They were close on some things, but one 292 00:12:39,588 --> 00:12:40,828 Speaker 5: hundred players is a lot. 293 00:12:41,828 --> 00:12:42,508 Speaker 3: To be honest with. 294 00:12:42,468 --> 00:12:43,908 Speaker 2: You, every year I think the players get it wrong. 295 00:12:43,988 --> 00:12:45,908 Speaker 3: So what didn't value the quarterbacks enough? 296 00:12:46,268 --> 00:12:47,868 Speaker 5: I just think those two guys should have been high. 297 00:12:47,908 --> 00:12:49,788 Speaker 5: Laren Lawrence, Yes, I think those two guys should have 298 00:12:49,788 --> 00:12:50,268 Speaker 5: been higher. 299 00:12:50,708 --> 00:12:53,028 Speaker 2: Really, I did not see that coming out of you. 300 00:12:54,188 --> 00:12:57,868 Speaker 2: I lean into the Justin Jefferson at too. It Also 301 00:12:58,188 --> 00:12:59,988 Speaker 2: it makes me want to look at the list, specifically 302 00:13:00,068 --> 00:13:02,548 Speaker 2: the top ten and guess the exact date in which 303 00:13:02,588 --> 00:13:06,028 Speaker 2: the forms were handed out, because Justin Jefferson had iconic 304 00:13:06,228 --> 00:13:09,228 Speaker 2: moments at times last year. Jalen Hurts, you know, he 305 00:13:09,468 --> 00:13:13,628 Speaker 2: was hurt Week sixteen seventeen, So did this list? Was 306 00:13:13,668 --> 00:13:14,508 Speaker 2: it in January? 307 00:13:14,748 --> 00:13:15,108 Speaker 3: Was hurt? 308 00:13:15,508 --> 00:13:15,708 Speaker 6: You know? 309 00:13:15,908 --> 00:13:18,388 Speaker 2: Really? Coming on, it wouldn't have been January because Justin Jefferson, 310 00:13:18,468 --> 00:13:21,148 Speaker 2: the Vikings loss that playoff gave. When did this decision 311 00:13:21,188 --> 00:13:23,788 Speaker 2: get made? I want to know so badly when the 312 00:13:23,828 --> 00:13:27,308 Speaker 2: little forms were handed out because Justin Jefferson and bodies 313 00:13:27,348 --> 00:13:29,748 Speaker 2: I think everything from like a cultural perspective with the 314 00:13:29,868 --> 00:13:32,508 Speaker 2: gritty and like he's on things with a flag football 315 00:13:32,548 --> 00:13:36,308 Speaker 2: and destroying like he is an absolute ripple effect when 316 00:13:36,308 --> 00:13:38,148 Speaker 2: it comes to the league and the youth movement. So 317 00:13:38,468 --> 00:13:40,068 Speaker 2: I'm not surprised at all, and frankly, I love it 318 00:13:40,068 --> 00:13:41,868 Speaker 2: because last year I went on an apoleute dietribe is 319 00:13:41,948 --> 00:13:43,388 Speaker 2: why you should have been the MVP at a moment. 320 00:13:43,468 --> 00:13:45,948 Speaker 1: So you think if Justin Jefferson doesn't do a dance, 321 00:13:45,988 --> 00:13:46,948 Speaker 1: that the worldwide crazy. 322 00:13:46,948 --> 00:13:47,748 Speaker 6: He's not number two. 323 00:13:47,908 --> 00:13:49,868 Speaker 2: I mean, everybody knows it because of that. 324 00:13:50,028 --> 00:13:52,468 Speaker 1: I think it's part of it. Actually, I think they 325 00:13:52,508 --> 00:13:52,948 Speaker 1: got it wrong. 326 00:13:53,228 --> 00:13:54,308 Speaker 3: I said it during yesterday. 327 00:13:54,308 --> 00:13:56,308 Speaker 1: I think Davonte is still better than Justin Jefferson. I 328 00:13:56,348 --> 00:13:58,148 Speaker 1: think DeVonta AM's is the best receiver in the league. 329 00:13:58,148 --> 00:14:01,308 Speaker 1: He is at thirteen, and I don't know. It's just 330 00:14:01,428 --> 00:14:03,748 Speaker 1: like if I got a third and fourteen, I want 331 00:14:03,748 --> 00:14:05,588 Speaker 1: to go to mont Ada and Justin this is great. 332 00:14:05,628 --> 00:14:07,428 Speaker 1: I just like him better at this point. I think 333 00:14:07,428 --> 00:14:09,348 Speaker 1: it's amazing that the Chiefs have three players in the 334 00:14:09,388 --> 00:14:10,828 Speaker 1: top ten and we're also there, like they don't have 335 00:14:10,828 --> 00:14:12,308 Speaker 1: any wide receivers. They have three of the top ten 336 00:14:12,348 --> 00:14:15,668 Speaker 1: players in the league. Jalen Hurts at three is fascinating. 337 00:14:15,868 --> 00:14:17,508 Speaker 1: Not on the list last year, not the top hun 338 00:14:17,508 --> 00:14:21,428 Speaker 1: her debuts at three. I keep saying this, He's had 339 00:14:21,508 --> 00:14:23,908 Speaker 1: one great season, and I hope that phrase goes away, 340 00:14:23,908 --> 00:14:27,188 Speaker 1: and I hope he swings together twelve little rich one 341 00:14:27,268 --> 00:14:29,388 Speaker 1: great year in which he lost the MVP to Mahomes, 342 00:14:29,428 --> 00:14:30,988 Speaker 1: and he's the third best player in the league. 343 00:14:31,188 --> 00:14:31,468 Speaker 3: I don't know. 344 00:14:31,588 --> 00:14:32,308 Speaker 1: I don't think they guts. 345 00:14:32,348 --> 00:14:34,548 Speaker 4: I watched it on NFL Plus last night, and Chris 346 00:14:34,668 --> 00:14:36,908 Speaker 4: Jones is the one they're talking about, and he was like, 347 00:14:37,148 --> 00:14:39,988 Speaker 4: it's the greatest game I've ever played against a quarterback. 348 00:14:40,028 --> 00:14:41,948 Speaker 3: He's talking about the Super Bowl. Feland hurts. I think 349 00:14:42,068 --> 00:14:44,188 Speaker 3: that is the taste everyone has in their mouth. And 350 00:14:44,308 --> 00:14:45,348 Speaker 3: yet I said this yesterday. 351 00:14:45,348 --> 00:14:47,348 Speaker 4: I think the players got it wrong because if they're 352 00:14:47,348 --> 00:14:50,028 Speaker 4: being honest and they're looking in the mirror, not including 353 00:14:50,068 --> 00:14:51,708 Speaker 4: this player, I don't care. If he had zero tackles 354 00:14:51,788 --> 00:14:55,068 Speaker 4: last year is one of the greatest mistakes. Aaron Donald 355 00:14:55,228 --> 00:14:58,068 Speaker 4: belongs in your top ten no matter what. Now you 356 00:14:58,108 --> 00:14:59,908 Speaker 4: can tell me, yeah, but last year he wasn't what 357 00:15:00,028 --> 00:15:00,388 Speaker 4: he used to do. 358 00:15:00,508 --> 00:15:02,268 Speaker 3: He still was dominant when he was out. 359 00:15:02,148 --> 00:15:04,868 Speaker 4: There last year, and gosh, go tell Aaron Donald, if 360 00:15:04,908 --> 00:15:06,748 Speaker 4: you're an offensive lineman that he wasn't voted in the 361 00:15:06,788 --> 00:15:09,468 Speaker 4: top ten. I just think he and Trent Williams deserve 362 00:15:09,548 --> 00:15:12,268 Speaker 4: emeritis status at this point. Knowing what they bring in 363 00:15:12,348 --> 00:15:14,708 Speaker 4: the game and what they do at their perspective physicians, 364 00:15:15,108 --> 00:15:16,668 Speaker 4: I think you just put them in, then you fill 365 00:15:16,668 --> 00:15:19,348 Speaker 4: out the other eight, including Mahomes. I think Donald and 366 00:15:19,428 --> 00:15:21,348 Speaker 4: Trent are the best at what they do and there's 367 00:15:21,388 --> 00:15:23,068 Speaker 4: no competition, so that would have been my. 368 00:15:23,668 --> 00:15:34,708 Speaker 2: Qualta in prospect. There is a huge preseason doubleheader coming 369 00:15:34,748 --> 00:15:37,228 Speaker 2: up on NFL Network Thursday night. It starts with the 370 00:15:37,348 --> 00:15:39,548 Speaker 2: Texans heading to New England to take on the Patriots, 371 00:15:39,948 --> 00:15:42,308 Speaker 2: and then the nightcap features the Vikings and the Seahawks 372 00:15:42,428 --> 00:15:46,148 Speaker 2: in Seattle. That's all live Thursday night right here on 373 00:15:46,428 --> 00:15:49,588 Speaker 2: NFL Network. One of those games features a eurookie starting 374 00:15:49,708 --> 00:15:52,628 Speaker 2: quarterback in some important news for the first leg of 375 00:15:52,668 --> 00:15:56,348 Speaker 2: that As I mentioned, Amiko Ryan said yesterday that c J. Stroud, 376 00:15:56,388 --> 00:15:59,108 Speaker 2: the number two overall pick, will start for the Texans 377 00:15:59,148 --> 00:16:02,868 Speaker 2: against Patriots. His first NFL action coming against a Bill 378 00:16:03,068 --> 00:16:07,228 Speaker 2: Belichick coach defense, should be an interesting watch. We'll see 379 00:16:07,228 --> 00:16:10,308 Speaker 2: how much we see of Stroud, but it lends ourselves 380 00:16:10,308 --> 00:16:13,228 Speaker 2: to our list of rookie quarterbacks that we're kind of 381 00:16:13,268 --> 00:16:15,148 Speaker 2: interested in taking a look at as they get their 382 00:16:15,188 --> 00:16:18,908 Speaker 2: first preseason action Thursday night. This all begins NFL Network, 383 00:16:19,068 --> 00:16:22,148 Speaker 2: there is a list of rookie qbs making their preseason debut. 384 00:16:22,228 --> 00:16:25,508 Speaker 2: But who is most intriguing to you, guys, Peter, I 385 00:16:25,628 --> 00:16:25,988 Speaker 2: start with you. 386 00:16:26,108 --> 00:16:28,828 Speaker 4: Yeah, I look at Jalen Hurts and his amazing rise 387 00:16:28,948 --> 00:16:30,508 Speaker 4: and the fact that he fell all the way to 388 00:16:30,588 --> 00:16:33,108 Speaker 4: the mid fifties and now look, I'm number three in 389 00:16:33,148 --> 00:16:35,548 Speaker 4: the top one hundred. People didn't think I could do it, 390 00:16:35,628 --> 00:16:37,788 Speaker 4: and I worked as a backup, And I think of 391 00:16:38,108 --> 00:16:41,748 Speaker 4: stories of triumph and overcoming hurdles, because I think that's 392 00:16:41,788 --> 00:16:45,268 Speaker 4: a great story. Can you be the number two overall 393 00:16:45,348 --> 00:16:47,788 Speaker 4: pick and still have a giant chip on your shoulder 394 00:16:47,908 --> 00:16:50,428 Speaker 4: and still consider yourself someone who came over hurdles and 395 00:16:50,508 --> 00:16:51,668 Speaker 4: overcoming of triumph, I. 396 00:16:51,668 --> 00:16:52,108 Speaker 3: Think you can. 397 00:16:52,748 --> 00:16:53,028 Speaker 6: CJ. 398 00:16:53,228 --> 00:16:57,388 Speaker 4: Stroud had one of the most turbulent pre draft processes 399 00:16:57,468 --> 00:17:00,988 Speaker 4: that we can recall, where his intelligence was attacked based 400 00:17:01,028 --> 00:17:06,388 Speaker 4: on the evaluation of the seven tests ives two comtess 401 00:17:07,428 --> 00:17:10,228 Speaker 4: He was taking apart saying okay, well, why didn't he 402 00:17:10,348 --> 00:17:12,468 Speaker 4: have those big throwing games until the last game of 403 00:17:12,548 --> 00:17:14,788 Speaker 4: his college career? And then he goes number two to 404 00:17:14,828 --> 00:17:17,148 Speaker 4: Houston and it's like, all right, here's the franchise. Your 405 00:17:17,188 --> 00:17:18,028 Speaker 4: franchise quarterback for. 406 00:17:18,028 --> 00:17:19,708 Speaker 3: A team that has been irrelevant. 407 00:17:20,308 --> 00:17:22,428 Speaker 4: This is the start of a new era for the 408 00:17:22,468 --> 00:17:25,028 Speaker 4: Houston Texans, and it really kicks off with this game 409 00:17:25,388 --> 00:17:27,708 Speaker 4: where they're playing the Patriots on NFL Network. I'm not 410 00:17:27,748 --> 00:17:29,708 Speaker 4: making too much of a preseason game, but I think CJ. 411 00:17:29,948 --> 00:17:34,068 Speaker 4: Stroud and what he brings to this team and what 412 00:17:34,228 --> 00:17:37,228 Speaker 4: he can do is going to be fascinating because a 413 00:17:37,708 --> 00:17:40,428 Speaker 4: his own story, people picking apart, his own intelligence and 414 00:17:40,468 --> 00:17:42,428 Speaker 4: his ability to play the quarterback position. 415 00:17:42,828 --> 00:17:44,988 Speaker 3: And B the team that he's going to. 416 00:17:45,268 --> 00:17:47,508 Speaker 4: It wasn't so long ago where the Texans were perennial 417 00:17:47,708 --> 00:17:51,588 Speaker 4: AFC South champions and you'd had DeAndre Hopkins and Arion 418 00:17:51,668 --> 00:17:53,388 Speaker 4: Foster and JJ Watt. 419 00:17:53,148 --> 00:17:54,628 Speaker 3: And Deshaun Watson. 420 00:17:55,148 --> 00:17:57,588 Speaker 4: We haven't talked about the Houston Texans in thirty six 421 00:17:57,748 --> 00:17:58,628 Speaker 4: months on this show. 422 00:17:58,948 --> 00:18:02,588 Speaker 3: They've been irrelevant, they've been off the radar, and now 423 00:18:02,628 --> 00:18:03,508 Speaker 3: they have a star. 424 00:18:03,508 --> 00:18:05,788 Speaker 4: Quarter for people I'm excited to watch. So I'm gonna 425 00:18:05,828 --> 00:18:08,428 Speaker 4: say c J. Stroud is the guy that I can't 426 00:18:08,468 --> 00:18:09,148 Speaker 4: wait to see. 427 00:18:09,068 --> 00:18:10,668 Speaker 5: That the last time we're talking about him, they were 428 00:18:10,708 --> 00:18:12,628 Speaker 5: giving up the first overall pick. 429 00:18:12,748 --> 00:18:13,468 Speaker 6: They were scoring. 430 00:18:14,548 --> 00:18:16,748 Speaker 1: You know, there's a thing online that's developing about the 431 00:18:17,348 --> 00:18:20,668 Speaker 1: legend curse of the number two overall picks. If you 432 00:18:20,748 --> 00:18:23,268 Speaker 1: start to look at the list, I'm talking about quarterbacks, 433 00:18:24,188 --> 00:18:27,948 Speaker 1: Zach Wilson, It's Mitch Trubisky, It's Carson Wentz's Marcus Mariota, 434 00:18:28,028 --> 00:18:30,908 Speaker 1: it's Robert Griffin the third like it's it's a crew. 435 00:18:31,068 --> 00:18:31,868 Speaker 3: Huh, it's a crew. 436 00:18:32,188 --> 00:18:32,708 Speaker 7: And c J. 437 00:18:32,828 --> 00:18:36,188 Speaker 1: Stroud is now the second overall pick. But that's starting 438 00:18:36,228 --> 00:18:39,108 Speaker 1: to gain some momentum, and the Reddit threads the number 439 00:18:39,188 --> 00:18:43,988 Speaker 1: two pick quarterback three that. 440 00:18:44,028 --> 00:18:44,188 Speaker 6: I do. 441 00:18:45,868 --> 00:18:47,628 Speaker 5: Well better than being the number four overall pick. I 442 00:18:47,668 --> 00:18:50,148 Speaker 5: guess Dan, and I'll be looking at Anthony Richardson for 443 00:18:50,228 --> 00:18:52,348 Speaker 5: the Colts. There's been so much talk, is he going 444 00:18:52,428 --> 00:18:54,188 Speaker 5: to be the guy to be under center week one? 445 00:18:54,308 --> 00:18:56,828 Speaker 5: Is it going to be Gardner? Minshew? This guy coming 446 00:18:56,868 --> 00:19:00,108 Speaker 5: out of college at Florida. We talked about his physical attributes. 447 00:19:00,148 --> 00:19:03,548 Speaker 5: His teammate Michael Pittman called him a Madden creative player, 448 00:19:03,628 --> 00:19:07,388 Speaker 5: a ninety nine speed, ninety nine strength, ninety nine arm 449 00:19:07,708 --> 00:19:10,948 Speaker 5: and that's the makeup. And everybody talks about his physical 450 00:19:11,108 --> 00:19:12,828 Speaker 5: build and what it can do. We've showed clips of 451 00:19:12,908 --> 00:19:15,548 Speaker 5: him dunking a basketball and all of these things. I 452 00:19:15,628 --> 00:19:17,708 Speaker 5: want to see him out there in a preseason game. 453 00:19:18,028 --> 00:19:21,348 Speaker 5: It reminds me I played against Russell Wilson his rookie 454 00:19:21,388 --> 00:19:22,508 Speaker 5: year while he was in Seattle. 455 00:19:22,588 --> 00:19:24,668 Speaker 3: We travel up there from Tennessee and. 456 00:19:24,828 --> 00:19:27,348 Speaker 5: Matt Flynn was a guy they signed, and we don't 457 00:19:27,388 --> 00:19:28,988 Speaker 5: have the highlights of it, but it's great. 458 00:19:29,388 --> 00:19:31,028 Speaker 3: These are Look at Russ's numbers. 459 00:19:31,628 --> 00:19:34,348 Speaker 5: He scored a touchdown running, he threw one in the 460 00:19:34,468 --> 00:19:37,308 Speaker 5: end zone.

I want 509 00:21:26,228 --> 00:21:26,628 Speaker 1: to see him. 510 00:21:26,628 --> 00:21:27,228 Speaker 2: He's one of these guys. 511 00:21:27,268 --> 00:21:29,068 Speaker 1: He comes out in the preseason game and chucks a 512 00:21:29,108 --> 00:21:31,228 Speaker 1: few passes on right. Wow, Levis can play. I think 513 00:21:31,228 --> 00:21:33,628 Speaker 1: there's people want Levis to be good, or maybe they 514 00:21:33,668 --> 00:21:35,388 Speaker 1: want him to be really bad. We just want something 515 00:21:35,468 --> 00:21:37,628 Speaker 1: interesting to happen with Levis, different personality. 516 00:21:37,628 --> 00:21:39,668 Speaker 2: I want to watch him and go ahead. 517 00:21:39,708 --> 00:21:41,908 Speaker 4: I was saying, just the vraible stuff we're talking about, Yeah, 518 00:21:42,988 --> 00:21:44,908 Speaker 4: is that oil and water like? Levis is like a 519 00:21:45,028 --> 00:21:48,948 Speaker 4: kind of like a sure guy like he drafted. Apparently 520 00:21:48,988 --> 00:21:49,548 Speaker 4: he's been great. 521 00:21:50,028 --> 00:21:51,588 Speaker 2: Yeah, kind of on the opposite end of like the 522 00:21:51,668 --> 00:21:54,308 Speaker 2: will Levice just like the draft prospect and ever the 523 00:21:54,388 --> 00:21:56,948 Speaker 2: scope that was focused on him sadly on the other 524 00:21:57,068 --> 00:21:58,788 Speaker 2: end of the interesting scope. But I think he likes 525 00:21:58,788 --> 00:22:01,068 Speaker 2: it this way. Is like Bryce Young, like there was 526 00:22:01,388 --> 00:22:05,588 Speaker 2: nothing that he did in college from a personality standpoint, 527 00:22:05,628 --> 00:22:08,548 Speaker 2: from an interview standpoint that never in a good way 528 00:22:09,148 --> 00:22:11,668 Speaker 2: jumped out at you. You're just like, well, this guy 529 00:22:11,868 --> 00:22:14,228 Speaker 2: is really good. And if I had to find a knock, 530 00:22:14,268 --> 00:22:18,388 Speaker 2: I guess it's that he's not the typical prototypical NFL 531 00:22:18,468 --> 00:22:21,188 Speaker 2: quarterback size. Okay, but we have seen nothing or heard 532 00:22:21,268 --> 00:22:24,468 Speaker 2: nothing from training camp that would tell you otherwise. Now, 533 00:22:24,508 --> 00:22:26,268 Speaker 2: the one thing I will say this and seeing this 534 00:22:26,348 --> 00:22:29,468 Speaker 2: angle is perfect because I feel that the training Camppanthers 535 00:22:29,508 --> 00:22:32,348 Speaker 2: dot Com football angle we see is very self serving 536 00:22:32,468 --> 00:22:35,268 Speaker 2: to Bryce Young's stature. I need like a game cam 537 00:22:35,548 --> 00:22:37,868 Speaker 2: angle on Bryce Young. I need all twenty two. I 538 00:22:37,948 --> 00:22:40,788 Speaker 2: want to see how he is physically lining up against 539 00:22:40,828 --> 00:22:43,868 Speaker 2: the defensive line in the NFL, just for like fifteen snaps. 540 00:22:43,868 --> 00:22:45,108 Speaker 2: I don't need a lot of it. I want to 541 00:22:45,108 --> 00:22:47,388 Speaker 2: see how he's connecting with his wide receivers. Adam Theland's 542 00:22:47,388 --> 00:22:49,028 Speaker 2: coming on the show in the next segment. I see 543 00:22:49,028 --> 00:22:51,468 Speaker 2: how it works with him, Frank Rake, Josh McCown is 544 00:22:51,508 --> 00:22:53,788 Speaker 2: always hanging around. I just want to see how it works. 545 00:22:54,068 --> 00:22:55,988 Speaker 2: And it doesn't need to stand out because Bryce Young 546 00:22:56,028 --> 00:22:59,268 Speaker 2: has just perfectly flown at Bryce Young's radar this entire time. 547 00:22:59,588 --> 00:23:00,748 Speaker 2: But I'm really looking forward to him. 548 00:23:01,188 --> 00:23:03,668 Speaker 1: We cannot show a shot of him without Josh McConnon 549 00:23:03,668 --> 00:23:05,148 Speaker 1: on the background, always. 550 00:23:04,908 --> 00:23:05,828 Speaker 6: There, and I like that. 551 00:23:06,188 --> 00:23:08,148 Speaker 1: It doesn't help with the height thing because Josh is huge, 552 00:23:08,428 --> 00:23:10,148 Speaker 1: but I just let's let's track this for the rest 553 00:23:10,188 --> 00:23:12,708 Speaker 1: of camp. Every time we see Brice, do we see 554 00:23:12,788 --> 00:23:15,028 Speaker 1: Josh McCown because he is coaching the hell out of him. 555 00:23:14,908 --> 00:23:15,268 Speaker 6: And I like it. 556 00:23:15,308 --> 00:23:17,508 Speaker 3: Do you know who the backup quarterback is in Carolina? 557 00:23:17,588 --> 00:23:18,828 Speaker 3: Off the quarterbacks? 558 00:23:18,868 --> 00:23:24,388 Speaker 4: Andi Ddall, Yeah, mccount, Dalton, Jim Caldwell, Frank Raich. 559 00:23:24,588 --> 00:23:25,868 Speaker 3: There's ever been a brain trust. 560 00:23:26,028 --> 00:23:27,428 Speaker 2: Right set up for success? 561 00:23:31,748 --> 00:23:31,948 Speaker 6: Hey. 562 00:23:32,148 --> 00:23:34,788 Speaker 2: The twenty twenty three NFL season starts with training camp. 563 00:23:34,948 --> 00:23:37,188 Speaker 2: NFL Network has had you covered. How have you missed 564 00:23:37,228 --> 00:23:39,148 Speaker 2: it so far? But if you haven't, that's okay. Inside 565 00:23:39,148 --> 00:23:41,668 Speaker 2: training camp life continues today ten am Eastern with all 566 00:23:41,828 --> 00:23:45,348 Speaker 2: thirty two teams covered. Jared Goff, Derek Kenry Russell, Wilson, 567 00:23:45,428 --> 00:23:47,188 Speaker 2: Dac Prescott. That's just a couple of the names we'll 568 00:23:47,188 --> 00:23:51,748 Speaker 2: see on ITC Live presented by Old Spice, which continues 569 00:23:51,788 --> 00:23:54,508 Speaker 2: as I mentioned today ten am Eastern right here on 570 00:23:54,628 --> 00:23:59,428 Speaker 2: NFL Network, Yes, NFL plus Wilson. I've been curious about, 571 00:23:59,588 --> 00:24:03,028 Speaker 2: you know, we just haven't had to see or hear 572 00:24:03,148 --> 00:24:06,028 Speaker 2: really from Russell will through all of this, and if 573 00:24:06,068 --> 00:24:09,468 Speaker 2: he has spoken, it hasn't been of note truly, So 574 00:24:09,868 --> 00:24:12,268 Speaker 2: that'll be curious. Peter, if you had Russell Wilson, because 575 00:24:12,268 --> 00:24:13,748 Speaker 2: you had to beg get with Aaron Ravers, what would 576 00:24:13,748 --> 00:24:14,148 Speaker 2: you ask him? 577 00:24:15,308 --> 00:24:17,108 Speaker 4: It seems like your head coach, Sean Payton has been, 578 00:24:17,348 --> 00:24:18,988 Speaker 4: you know, standing in front of a lot of trains 579 00:24:19,028 --> 00:24:20,388 Speaker 4: right now and trying to make up for a lot 580 00:24:20,428 --> 00:24:21,348 Speaker 4: of stuff from last year. 581 00:24:21,388 --> 00:24:23,868 Speaker 3: Do you take any responsibility for the way the season went? 582 00:24:24,308 --> 00:24:26,068 Speaker 4: And how do you feel about the way your coach 583 00:24:26,108 --> 00:24:29,028 Speaker 4: has defended you or at least come out and washed 584 00:24:29,068 --> 00:24:31,108 Speaker 4: you from it In a lot of ways, I think 585 00:24:31,188 --> 00:24:34,308 Speaker 4: Russell Wilson isn't a second year quarterback. He isn't Zach Wilson. 586 00:24:34,348 --> 00:24:36,188 Speaker 4: He isn't one of these young guys who struggled. He's 587 00:24:36,188 --> 00:24:39,828 Speaker 4: a future Hall of Famer and some guys would probably say, 588 00:24:39,868 --> 00:24:42,108 Speaker 4: I don't want you out there in front doing that, 589 00:24:42,388 --> 00:24:42,868 Speaker 4: let me take it. 590 00:24:42,908 --> 00:24:44,388 Speaker 3: But Russ hasn't been very vocal. 591 00:24:45,308 --> 00:24:47,908 Speaker 4: Really interesting yesterday, Sean Payton came out and said that 592 00:24:48,548 --> 00:24:50,708 Speaker 4: his team is not going to be wearing the Gilligan hats. 593 00:24:50,948 --> 00:24:52,348 Speaker 3: They're going to be starters, are going to be. 594 00:24:52,388 --> 00:24:55,388 Speaker 4: Playing, and I think, you know, we're talking about it briefly, 595 00:24:55,428 --> 00:24:56,868 Speaker 4: but I think a lot of people were triggered by 596 00:24:57,468 --> 00:25:00,588 Speaker 4: even those comments that Peyton's treating him that way. So 597 00:25:00,948 --> 00:25:03,908 Speaker 4: it's an old school mentality, and I'm curious if Russell 598 00:25:03,948 --> 00:25:08,068 Speaker 4: Wilson is is aware. I mean, Kyle, we've talked Russ 599 00:25:08,108 --> 00:25:10,068 Speaker 4: for years. Is he aware of what other people are 600 00:25:10,068 --> 00:25:10,428 Speaker 4: talking or. 601 00:25:10,428 --> 00:25:13,388 Speaker 3: Seeing He's own bubble where he's like, all is good, kumbaya. 602 00:25:15,148 --> 00:25:17,028 Speaker 1: Well, I think he's aware of this. I don't think 603 00:25:17,028 --> 00:25:18,868 Speaker 1: he's aware what everybody says about him on social media. 604 00:25:18,908 --> 00:25:22,108 Speaker 1: But like I would want five questions Russell Wilson about 605 00:25:22,228 --> 00:25:26,788 Speaker 1: the Hackett, Peyton Rogers all that stuff. I'm really interested 606 00:25:26,788 --> 00:25:28,508 Speaker 1: to hear about his chemistry with receivers in camp and 607 00:25:28,508 --> 00:25:31,508 Speaker 1: all that. But that's like question nine. So yeah, we've 608 00:25:31,548 --> 00:25:33,748 Speaker 1: been saying this since the get go, What does Russ 609 00:25:33,788 --> 00:25:36,908 Speaker 1: think about this? Peyton basically absolved him of all responsibility 610 00:25:36,988 --> 00:25:39,268 Speaker 1: for a really rough season. Yeah, you kind of have 611 00:25:39,388 --> 00:25:41,068 Speaker 1: to say no, no, no. I appreciate my coach looking 612 00:25:41,108 --> 00:25:42,468 Speaker 1: out for me, but I need to be better. 613 00:25:42,348 --> 00:25:43,228 Speaker 2: Right, just in general. 614 00:25:43,308 --> 00:25:45,788 Speaker 5: He comes from Pete Carroll, who's a players coach and 615 00:25:45,788 --> 00:25:49,228 Speaker 5: a ton of fun energy through the roof than Nathaniel Hackett. 616 00:25:49,788 --> 00:25:51,988 Speaker 5: According to Sean Payton, let him do whatever. And now 617 00:25:52,068 --> 00:25:55,268 Speaker 5: Sean Payton's there and it's just like a totally different philosophy. 618 00:25:55,348 --> 00:25:56,748 Speaker 3: What are his thoughts on that? 619 00:25:57,028 --> 00:25:58,068 Speaker 5: And the way to organizations? 620 00:25:59,228 --> 00:26:00,948 Speaker 3: And I think we've got a good guest to come 621 00:26:01,028 --> 00:26:02,428 Speaker 3: and fill us in with his thoughts on this. 622 00:26:02,508 --> 00:26:06,428 Speaker 4: Welcome to the show, Network front office analysts, who has 623 00:26:06,988 --> 00:26:10,348 Speaker 4: been around several different there coaches. He's been a general 624 00:26:10,388 --> 00:26:12,828 Speaker 4: manager in the league, says in GM, He's been three 625 00:26:12,908 --> 00:26:15,148 Speaker 4: time Super Bowl champion with the Patriots, and right now 626 00:26:15,228 --> 00:26:17,548 Speaker 4: he is in Nashville, Tennessee with a guy that he 627 00:26:17,668 --> 00:26:20,028 Speaker 4: worked with for many years, mister Mike Rabel as the 628 00:26:20,068 --> 00:26:20,468 Speaker 4: head coach. 629 00:26:20,788 --> 00:26:22,948 Speaker 3: Let's welcome in, Scott Piels, got what's going on? 630 00:26:24,108 --> 00:26:25,908 Speaker 7: Hey, good morning, I'm glad we got rid of the 631 00:26:25,988 --> 00:26:28,548 Speaker 7: technical issues. Man, I had to see you guys. I 632 00:26:28,668 --> 00:26:29,708 Speaker 7: need you once a week man. 633 00:26:30,788 --> 00:26:31,948 Speaker 3: Yeah, we love having you on. 634 00:26:32,068 --> 00:26:34,428 Speaker 4: And we're talking here about Sean Payton coming out and saying, 635 00:26:34,748 --> 00:26:37,148 Speaker 4: not only will Russell Wilson and the Broncos starters been 636 00:26:37,188 --> 00:26:39,188 Speaker 4: playing in the team's first preseason game, but there will 637 00:26:39,188 --> 00:26:42,228 Speaker 4: be no in game interviews from the players, and there 638 00:26:42,228 --> 00:26:45,348 Speaker 4: will also be no Gilligan hats for those bug bucket 639 00:26:45,348 --> 00:26:47,188 Speaker 4: hats you always see the guys wearing after they come 640 00:26:47,228 --> 00:26:50,068 Speaker 4: out of the game. You've been around some of the 641 00:26:50,148 --> 00:26:53,028 Speaker 4: best you know, and now Sean Payton is here kind 642 00:26:53,068 --> 00:26:55,108 Speaker 4: of laying down the law on Denver. What was your 643 00:26:55,148 --> 00:26:58,148 Speaker 4: thoughts on that and an overall preseason? Do you start 644 00:26:58,188 --> 00:27:00,428 Speaker 4: your guys, do you not start your guys? Your approach 645 00:27:00,508 --> 00:27:01,268 Speaker 4: to these first games. 646 00:27:02,788 --> 00:27:04,788 Speaker 7: Yeah, I'm with Sean on this one. And again I 647 00:27:04,828 --> 00:27:06,388 Speaker 7: think what he's trying to let his players know and 648 00:27:06,468 --> 00:27:09,228 Speaker 7: his team know that these trips, these games, even though 649 00:27:09,228 --> 00:27:11,948 Speaker 7: it's preseason, these are business trips, and he wants to 650 00:27:11,988 --> 00:27:14,468 Speaker 7: make sure that the players are there know that this 651 00:27:14,628 --> 00:27:17,868 Speaker 7: is business. And again, I don't have a problem with 652 00:27:17,988 --> 00:27:21,468 Speaker 7: starters playing because here's what I truly believe general managers 653 00:27:21,508 --> 00:27:24,028 Speaker 7: are partners of the head coach. They share thoughts, they 654 00:27:24,108 --> 00:27:26,908 Speaker 7: give ideas, they make certain there's certain decisions that general 655 00:27:26,948 --> 00:27:29,428 Speaker 7: managers make. Then there's decisions they don't. The coach makes 656 00:27:29,468 --> 00:27:31,908 Speaker 7: the decision of who plays and how much they play. 657 00:27:32,188 --> 00:27:34,668 Speaker 7: I really believe that the coach has a much better 658 00:27:34,748 --> 00:27:38,028 Speaker 7: pulse on the team, the locker room, and they know 659 00:27:38,188 --> 00:27:40,508 Speaker 7: what players need more than general managers. And that's not 660 00:27:40,668 --> 00:27:43,268 Speaker 7: disrespect to general managers, that's just with the truth. The 661 00:27:43,388 --> 00:27:46,108 Speaker 7: coach is much closer to the pulse, so he knows 662 00:27:46,188 --> 00:27:49,348 Speaker 7: what his football team knows needs. And again, Sean didn't 663 00:27:49,388 --> 00:27:51,748 Speaker 7: just you know, he didn't just follow up the turnip truck. 664 00:27:52,228 --> 00:27:53,788 Speaker 7: He's done this before, so I think he knows what 665 00:27:53,868 --> 00:27:54,228 Speaker 7: he's doing. 666 00:27:55,788 --> 00:27:58,148 Speaker 2: The handling of the starters in the preseason is an 667 00:27:58,148 --> 00:28:01,268 Speaker 2: interesting opinion, Scott. On the next hour of our show, 668 00:28:01,308 --> 00:28:03,948 Speaker 2: we're going to discuss the handling of the rookie quarterback 669 00:28:04,428 --> 00:28:06,788 Speaker 2: and how you prepare them for the regular season by 670 00:28:06,908 --> 00:28:09,348 Speaker 2: using the preseason and their debut. Walk us through some 671 00:28:09,428 --> 00:28:11,228 Speaker 2: of the things that a front office might look at 672 00:28:11,308 --> 00:28:15,108 Speaker 2: for a rookie quarterback, specifically in their preseason performances. 673 00:28:16,788 --> 00:28:19,628 Speaker 7: Jamie. I think the front office and the coaches all 674 00:28:19,668 --> 00:28:22,148 Speaker 7: look for the same thing. And as silly's this may sound, 675 00:28:22,348 --> 00:28:25,028 Speaker 7: it's all of the basic fundamental things. We've got so 676 00:28:25,068 --> 00:28:27,348 Speaker 7: many quarterbacks now coming into the NFL that have never 677 00:28:27,428 --> 00:28:28,868 Speaker 7: even been in a huddle, right, they just have the 678 00:28:28,948 --> 00:28:31,188 Speaker 7: signs on the sideline. They have to get a team 679 00:28:31,228 --> 00:28:33,028 Speaker 7: in the huddle, a bunch of adults in a huddle, 680 00:28:33,308 --> 00:28:36,148 Speaker 7: get them organized, get the play called, get the formation called, 681 00:28:36,188 --> 00:28:39,108 Speaker 7: get everything called. Then get to the line of scrimmage. 682 00:28:39,148 --> 00:28:41,668 Speaker 7: Do things like identify the mic, make sure they're on 683 00:28:41,708 --> 00:28:43,588 Speaker 7: the same page with all of the offensive line, and 684 00:28:43,668 --> 00:28:46,948 Speaker 7: get the protection changed, perhaps at the line of scrimmage. 685 00:28:47,148 --> 00:28:48,988 Speaker 7: So I think what you want to see early in 686 00:28:49,028 --> 00:28:51,988 Speaker 7: the preseason and then later in the preseason says progress. 687 00:28:52,348 --> 00:28:55,348 Speaker 7: The simplest thing that the player, meaning the quarterback, can 688 00:28:55,428 --> 00:28:57,828 Speaker 7: get the team in the huddle, out of the huddle, 689 00:28:58,068 --> 00:29:00,908 Speaker 7: call played, and the play executed, with all of the 690 00:29:00,988 --> 00:29:01,908 Speaker 7: action that's going on. 691 00:29:03,468 --> 00:29:05,988 Speaker 5: And you're in Nashville and the Titians have a rookie quarterback, 692 00:29:06,028 --> 00:29:08,388 Speaker 5: and Will Levis will be competing with the league. Willis 693 00:29:08,708 --> 00:29:10,788 Speaker 5: and the guy making that decision on who becomes the 694 00:29:10,868 --> 00:29:13,588 Speaker 5: number two will be Titians head coach Mike Vrabel. And 695 00:29:13,708 --> 00:29:15,908 Speaker 5: you spent some time when I'm last night, and we 696 00:29:16,028 --> 00:29:18,348 Speaker 5: know you have a close relationship with him for a while. 697 00:29:18,748 --> 00:29:21,348 Speaker 5: Tell us something about Rabel that he stands out that 698 00:29:21,468 --> 00:29:24,028 Speaker 5: maybe isn't what we normally get from the headlines. 699 00:29:25,868 --> 00:29:28,068 Speaker 7: You know, the Mike Rabel that the world sees. Is 700 00:29:28,108 --> 00:29:31,188 Speaker 7: it competitive Mike and this tough guy Mike, and he 701 00:29:31,508 --> 00:29:33,508 Speaker 7: is all of that. But I've known Mike for a 702 00:29:33,548 --> 00:29:35,748 Speaker 7: long time. We're together for eight seasons in New England. 703 00:29:35,748 --> 00:29:38,308 Speaker 7: We're together two seasons in Kansas City. And I think 704 00:29:38,588 --> 00:29:41,228 Speaker 7: the part that Mike doesn't let enough people show is 705 00:29:41,268 --> 00:29:43,948 Speaker 7: what a quality human being is and how much he cares. 706 00:29:44,428 --> 00:29:48,348 Speaker 7: He is an empathetic person that really cares about his teammates, 707 00:29:48,668 --> 00:29:52,268 Speaker 7: his players, the people that he works with. He's as 708 00:29:52,388 --> 00:29:54,148 Speaker 7: loyal as a day as long you know. I think 709 00:29:54,188 --> 00:29:56,428 Speaker 7: about a couple of things that happened with Mike and I. 710 00:29:57,228 --> 00:29:59,028 Speaker 7: I go back to our time in Kansas City. Mike 711 00:29:59,228 --> 00:30:03,068 Speaker 7: was gone in twenty twelve when the Javon Belcher incident occurred. 712 00:30:03,348 --> 00:30:04,948 Speaker 7: Mike was one of the first people to call me 713 00:30:05,508 --> 00:30:07,588 Speaker 7: after I got fired. Mike was not only one of 714 00:30:07,588 --> 00:30:09,268 Speaker 7: the first people to call me, but he told me 715 00:30:09,308 --> 00:30:11,308 Speaker 7: to come up to Ohio State and stay with me 716 00:30:11,388 --> 00:30:14,508 Speaker 7: and Jenny. While I was trying to get my feet 717 00:30:14,588 --> 00:30:18,228 Speaker 7: under me, I think about the Mike that is, again, 718 00:30:18,308 --> 00:30:21,668 Speaker 7: this great human being. I think about the time when 719 00:30:21,748 --> 00:30:23,428 Speaker 7: Ryan O'Callahan came out. 720 00:30:23,668 --> 00:30:24,188 Speaker 6: To the world. 721 00:30:24,748 --> 00:30:27,068 Speaker 7: Mike was the first person to reach out to me 722 00:30:27,388 --> 00:30:30,268 Speaker 7: and say, Scott, give me Ryan's contact information. I want 723 00:30:30,268 --> 00:30:31,988 Speaker 7: to reach out to him. Mike had been teammates with 724 00:30:32,108 --> 00:30:35,788 Speaker 7: him in New England and also in Kansas City. You know, 725 00:30:35,948 --> 00:30:38,308 Speaker 7: I also know that Mike is very intentional in what 726 00:30:38,428 --> 00:30:40,868 Speaker 7: he does. Sometimes we'll see him barbed players and give 727 00:30:40,948 --> 00:30:44,268 Speaker 7: players a hard time. But I also see the intentional 728 00:30:44,348 --> 00:30:47,788 Speaker 7: Mike who just yesterday announced that Terrell Williams, his defensive 729 00:30:47,828 --> 00:30:50,468 Speaker 7: line coach, who is going to be put in the 730 00:30:50,508 --> 00:30:53,268 Speaker 7: position of coaching the team as the head coach in 731 00:30:53,308 --> 00:30:57,948 Speaker 7: their first preseason game. Mike cares about diversity. He genuinely 732 00:30:58,028 --> 00:31:00,468 Speaker 7: cares about inclusion. You know, a couple of years ago, 733 00:31:00,508 --> 00:31:03,708 Speaker 7: I called Mike about Christy Bartlett, a strength and conditioning coach. 734 00:31:04,148 --> 00:31:08,228 Speaker 7: He interviewed, hired her immediately. Every single year Mike has 735 00:31:08,348 --> 00:31:12,308 Speaker 7: had a woman on the coaching staff working for him 736 00:31:12,628 --> 00:31:14,308 Speaker 7: in a role in the strength and condition. He also 737 00:31:14,308 --> 00:31:17,428 Speaker 7: has low locus coaching on his defensive staff. I tell 738 00:31:17,428 --> 00:31:18,988 Speaker 7: you all these things because those are the things that 739 00:31:19,148 --> 00:31:21,868 Speaker 7: Mike never talks about, and people don't talk about enough. 740 00:31:21,908 --> 00:31:23,988 Speaker 7: With Mike, he's a quality, quality human being.
