So you can talk about that being 22 00:01:17,988 --> 00:01:20,268 Speaker 6: the highest paid tight end, but sometimes you look at 23 00:01:20,268 --> 00:01:22,748 Speaker 6: the base value that regardless, it's a really, really good 24 00:01:22,788 --> 00:01:25,788 Speaker 6: contract for TJ. Hockinson, who came over in that trade 25 00:01:25,868 --> 00:01:28,228 Speaker 6: last year, and boy really saw the football a ton 26 00:01:28,588 --> 00:01:30,708 Speaker 6: from the Minnesota Vikings. The Vikings saying all right, well, 27 00:01:30,708 --> 00:01:32,268 Speaker 6: if we wait a little longer, the price is only 28 00:01:32,308 --> 00:01:34,268 Speaker 6: going to go up. So let's lock in TJ. Hockinson, 29 00:01:34,548 --> 00:01:38,868 Speaker 6: get him back to work and suddenly be healed. 30 00:01:39,108 --> 00:01:40,268 Speaker 5: He's good, he's ready to go. 31 00:01:40,468 --> 00:01:41,908 Speaker 3: Yeah, and he said there was nowhere else he wanted 32 00:01:41,948 --> 00:01:44,468 Speaker 3: to be yesterday. He's been a really really nice fit 33 00:01:44,508 --> 00:01:47,588 Speaker 3: in the Vikings office. The Vikings a thirteen win team 34 00:01:47,668 --> 00:01:51,188 Speaker 3: last season. Now they are the ragining NFC North champions. 35 00:01:51,548 --> 00:01:54,548 Speaker 3: And now that we are six days away from kickoff 36 00:01:54,908 --> 00:01:57,668 Speaker 3: the regular season for twenty twenty three, how did the 37 00:01:57,748 --> 00:02:00,108 Speaker 3: Vikings stack up in their own division? Well, it's going 38 00:02:00,188 --> 00:02:01,908 Speaker 3: to inspect the NFC North three. 39 00:02:01,948 --> 00:02:03,708 Speaker 2: We got to pick the North next week, right we do. 40 00:02:05,108 --> 00:02:05,748 Speaker 2: Let's get into it. 41 00:02:05,828 --> 00:02:07,828 Speaker 3: I'm going to make a final ruling on each of these, 42 00:02:07,908 --> 00:02:11,428 Speaker 3: So plan your arguments accordingly. I am the judge, which 43 00:02:11,508 --> 00:02:14,148 Speaker 3: doesn't really sound that unbiased at all. Who will be 44 00:02:14,188 --> 00:02:17,588 Speaker 3: the best quarterback in the NFC North this season? 45 00:02:17,628 --> 00:02:18,868 Speaker 4: When all of a sudden done, Jack. 46 00:02:18,868 --> 00:02:21,148 Speaker 7: Oh, there's sexy picks in this division. You have the 47 00:02:21,188 --> 00:02:24,708 Speaker 7: new Jordan Love justin Fields. Everybody's ready for those guys 48 00:02:24,708 --> 00:02:27,228 Speaker 7: the skyrocket. Then you have the Kirk Cousins, who's the 49 00:02:27,308 --> 00:02:29,868 Speaker 7: old who's done it time and turn them again. And 50 00:02:29,908 --> 00:02:32,708 Speaker 7: that's exactly why I'm going with Jared Goff as the 51 00:02:32,908 --> 00:02:35,988 Speaker 7: best quarterback in the division from the Detroit Lions. Had 52 00:02:36,028 --> 00:02:39,028 Speaker 7: one hell of a year last year over four thousand yards, 53 00:02:39,068 --> 00:02:43,148 Speaker 7: passing Ben Johnson as his offensive coordinator. They unlocked something 54 00:02:43,228 --> 00:02:46,028 Speaker 7: last season and how GoF looked good. You can say 55 00:02:46,108 --> 00:02:47,748 Speaker 7: whatever you want to say about his time in LA 56 00:02:47,828 --> 00:02:50,108 Speaker 7: played in the Super Bowl, didn't work out, he got 57 00:02:50,148 --> 00:02:53,108 Speaker 7: shipped to exile to Detroit and he has made the 58 00:02:53,148 --> 00:02:56,148 Speaker 7: most of it. We just talked about TJ. Hockinson getting paid. 59 00:02:56,428 --> 00:02:59,388 Speaker 7: He got traded from Detroit over in Minnesota, and then 60 00:02:59,428 --> 00:03:02,468 Speaker 7: they drafted Sam Laporta and they are very excited about 61 00:03:02,508 --> 00:03:04,828 Speaker 7: this guy in that tight end position. I'm going with 62 00:03:04,908 --> 00:03:07,388 Speaker 7: Jared Goff, what he's making of this Detroit Lions offense. 63 00:03:07,468 --> 00:03:09,828 Speaker 1: Love's the most mysterious. Fields is the most exciting. The 64 00:03:09,868 --> 00:03:12,348 Speaker 1: easiest answer is Kirk Cousins is Kirk Cousins. It's Kirk Cousins. 65 00:03:12,388 --> 00:03:13,868 Speaker 1: I'd love to have a passion of the torch. I 66 00:03:13,868 --> 00:03:15,268 Speaker 1: hope justin Fields explos. 67 00:03:14,988 --> 00:03:16,508 Speaker 2: I hope they all do. It's Kirk Cousins. 68 00:03:16,588 --> 00:03:18,388 Speaker 1: Kirk Cousins the top ten quarterback in the league. He 69 00:03:18,468 --> 00:03:20,948 Speaker 1: might be ten, but he isn't that that qualifies him 70 00:03:20,948 --> 00:03:23,108 Speaker 1: in the top ten. Bring up any stats you want, 71 00:03:23,108 --> 00:03:24,548 Speaker 1: and then if you want to pair them with how 72 00:03:24,588 --> 00:03:26,228 Speaker 1: bad his offensive line has been and how bad his 73 00:03:26,268 --> 00:03:28,108 Speaker 1: defense has been, that's fine. You can do whatever you want. 74 00:03:28,268 --> 00:03:30,108 Speaker 1: Kirk Cousins is gonna have what he does every single year, 75 00:03:30,148 --> 00:03:32,388 Speaker 1: a hugely statistically productive year. 76 00:03:32,748 --> 00:03:33,908 Speaker 2: We'll see what happens at the end of it. 77 00:03:33,948 --> 00:03:35,508 Speaker 1: He has the probably the best player in the NFL 78 00:03:35,508 --> 00:03:37,268 Speaker 1: outside of Patrick Mahomes, and he's right there. So I 79 00:03:37,268 --> 00:03:40,588 Speaker 1: think Kirk Cousins explode again. There's some other questions, Jamie 80 00:03:40,628 --> 00:03:41,868 Speaker 1: my pitness with that are more difficult. 81 00:03:41,908 --> 00:03:43,348 Speaker 2: I think this is Kirk Cousins. Love those guys. 82 00:03:43,348 --> 00:03:45,588 Speaker 5: It's Cousins here, okay, But it says who will be? 83 00:03:45,708 --> 00:03:48,788 Speaker 5: Doesn't say who is talking? Answer to who is? You 84 00:03:48,908 --> 00:03:49,668 Speaker 5: got that one right? 85 00:03:49,828 --> 00:03:51,028 Speaker 2: What's the answer to who will be? 86 00:03:51,108 --> 00:03:52,508 Speaker 5: I'm going upside. I'm taking Jordan. 87 00:03:52,548 --> 00:03:55,748 Speaker 2: Let's go back Fields. No, No, I'm gonna go. 88 00:03:55,908 --> 00:03:58,348 Speaker 6: I'm gonna go Jordan's I am gonna go, Jordan Love. 89 00:03:58,548 --> 00:04:00,348 Speaker 6: I hope people are knocking them and do it reading 90 00:04:00,348 --> 00:04:02,548 Speaker 6: into too much of what's happening in training camp. Their 91 00:04:02,588 --> 00:04:04,868 Speaker 6: thought on turning it over to Aaron Roddy there's years 92 00:04:04,868 --> 00:04:07,948 Speaker 6: ago was we don't know for sure, but we feel 93 00:04:07,988 --> 00:04:09,988 Speaker 6: pretty good that we've got ourselves a good one here 94 00:04:10,068 --> 00:04:12,308 Speaker 6: to take over for Brett far It's the same thing 95 00:04:12,388 --> 00:04:14,948 Speaker 6: here in their minds. They're saying, we don't know, but 96 00:04:15,028 --> 00:04:17,268 Speaker 6: we feel pretty good about this guy right here. So 97 00:04:17,348 --> 00:04:20,188 Speaker 6: I think he picks up where we saw him last 98 00:04:20,188 --> 00:04:22,428 Speaker 6: in that game against the Eagles, and I'm going to. 99 00:04:22,428 --> 00:04:23,188 Speaker 5: Take the upside here. 100 00:04:23,308 --> 00:04:24,068 Speaker 4: I hear you all. 101 00:04:24,188 --> 00:04:27,788 Speaker 3: I appreciate the differentiation and how specific you are about 102 00:04:27,788 --> 00:04:28,948 Speaker 3: the is or the will be. 103 00:04:29,268 --> 00:04:32,468 Speaker 4: I respect it, but I'm still gonna go with her. 104 00:04:32,548 --> 00:04:37,028 Speaker 3: Cousins best is like Kyle said, it's how you look 105 00:04:37,068 --> 00:04:39,948 Speaker 3: at it. And if you're going to look statistically. 106 00:04:39,588 --> 00:04:42,188 Speaker 2: Last year, you off want to hang with cousins. 107 00:04:42,428 --> 00:04:44,188 Speaker 1: No, No, I don't want to hang don't rewrite it, 108 00:04:44,468 --> 00:04:45,988 Speaker 1: don'trite its best. 109 00:04:46,068 --> 00:04:47,108 Speaker 4: Yeah, that doesn't mean who's going to be. 110 00:04:47,388 --> 00:04:48,908 Speaker 3: It's going to be we have many more questions to 111 00:04:48,948 --> 00:04:51,788 Speaker 3: look at at the NFC continue as you look around 112 00:04:51,828 --> 00:04:52,268 Speaker 3: this division. 113 00:04:52,508 --> 00:04:54,268 Speaker 2: Jason is ready to fight for Jared Goff who I know, 114 00:04:54,508 --> 00:04:57,068 Speaker 2: it's great someone else super Bowl? 115 00:04:58,188 --> 00:05:01,148 Speaker 3: Which team will have the best offensive weapons in the 116 00:05:01,268 --> 00:05:03,828 Speaker 3: NFC North this season? We just said, Kyle try to 117 00:05:03,868 --> 00:05:06,348 Speaker 3: make the case. The second best player behind Packer Maholmes 118 00:05:06,388 --> 00:05:07,308 Speaker 3: is on the Vikings roster. 119 00:05:07,508 --> 00:05:09,948 Speaker 7: So Jason, there you go, right there, this is the 120 00:05:09,988 --> 00:05:13,588 Speaker 7: easy offensive weapons. How do you look past Justin Jefferson. 121 00:05:13,628 --> 00:05:16,948 Speaker 7: This guy has been unbelievable. He's doing commercials all over 122 00:05:16,948 --> 00:05:17,348 Speaker 7: the places. 123 00:05:17,388 --> 00:05:19,188 Speaker 8: In the NFL commercial He's walking down. 124 00:05:19,228 --> 00:05:22,388 Speaker 7: A high school hallway, He's making one hand catches all 125 00:05:22,468 --> 00:05:23,148 Speaker 7: over the place. 126 00:05:23,388 --> 00:05:25,268 Speaker 8: He has everybody in the world gritty. 127 00:05:25,788 --> 00:05:26,588 Speaker 5: This is the guy. 128 00:05:26,708 --> 00:05:28,588 Speaker 8: When you have him, it doesn't even matter who else 129 00:05:28,668 --> 00:05:29,188 Speaker 8: is on the roster. 130 00:05:29,268 --> 00:05:31,268 Speaker 7: But you know what, they added a first round draft 131 00:05:31,308 --> 00:05:33,948 Speaker 7: pick and Jordan Addison as well at the receiver position. 132 00:05:34,308 --> 00:05:36,348 Speaker 7: kJ Olesbourne is going to take a step nowt that 133 00:05:36,468 --> 00:05:39,228 Speaker 7: feeling's gone and they let Dalvin Cook walk right out 134 00:05:39,308 --> 00:05:42,468 Speaker 7: the door and release them because they believe in Alexander Madison. 135 00:05:42,548 --> 00:05:44,348 Speaker 8: I am going with the Minnesota Vikings. 136 00:05:44,628 --> 00:05:46,308 Speaker 5: This to me is an easy one. 137 00:05:46,708 --> 00:05:47,628 Speaker 7: And you just said TJ. 138 00:05:47,748 --> 00:05:48,868 Speaker 5: Hopkinson got paid. 139 00:05:49,028 --> 00:05:52,708 Speaker 2: They got Jefferson's, they got Madison and Addison. That's kind 140 00:05:52,748 --> 00:05:53,308 Speaker 2: of cool, right. 141 00:05:54,268 --> 00:05:56,388 Speaker 1: I was looking at a quote from Jordan Addison talking 142 00:05:56,428 --> 00:05:58,908 Speaker 1: about the Vikings wide receivers quote, no one will be 143 00:05:58,948 --> 00:05:59,628 Speaker 1: able to guard us. 144 00:06:00,588 --> 00:06:03,948 Speaker 2: I want to zag here. I love Aaron Jones. I 145 00:06:03,948 --> 00:06:05,908 Speaker 2: think a fantastic player for the Packers. 146 00:06:06,108 --> 00:06:08,028 Speaker 1: I think Christian Watson is going to explode this year 147 00:06:08,188 --> 00:06:11,028 Speaker 1: if we were doing this NFL jam style with the 148 00:06:11,108 --> 00:06:14,308 Speaker 1: best twosome, because then we're gonna do sat Brown and 149 00:06:14,428 --> 00:06:16,428 Speaker 1: we're gonna go in the Gibbs train for the Lions. 150 00:06:16,988 --> 00:06:19,468 Speaker 1: But I'm two for two Vikings Jamie telling me, I 151 00:06:19,508 --> 00:06:21,148 Speaker 1: think Cousins the best quarterback. I think they had the 152 00:06:21,188 --> 00:06:23,148 Speaker 1: best weapons, not the least of which is Hawkinson, who 153 00:06:23,228 --> 00:06:24,788 Speaker 1: is huge. Mike, remind me you just broke the story. 154 00:06:24,828 --> 00:06:26,628 Speaker 1: You said he was battling some thing. 155 00:06:26,748 --> 00:06:27,908 Speaker 2: What did he go with? I don't remember. It was 156 00:06:27,988 --> 00:06:30,068 Speaker 2: a calf straight or flew like symptoms? And what was 157 00:06:30,988 --> 00:06:32,268 Speaker 2: ear infection? That's a new one. 158 00:06:32,348 --> 00:06:35,308 Speaker 1: Those are painallon pain forrere But whatever it is, he 159 00:06:35,468 --> 00:06:37,148 Speaker 1: is hearing the sound of the Brinks truck. But the 160 00:06:37,508 --> 00:06:39,228 Speaker 1: bleeper on as it backs up. I think it's the 161 00:06:39,308 --> 00:06:43,028 Speaker 1: Vikings again. I've always liked Alexander Madison. Dalvin Cook would 162 00:06:43,028 --> 00:06:45,108 Speaker 1: go out and Madison looked a lot like him because 163 00:06:45,108 --> 00:06:46,708 Speaker 1: he had long hair and he ran really physically, and 164 00:06:46,748 --> 00:06:49,628 Speaker 1: you're like, wow, Dalvin's running. Oh that's Madison. I think 165 00:06:49,628 --> 00:06:51,268 Speaker 1: it's the Vikings again. I'm two for two at all. 166 00:06:51,468 --> 00:06:52,948 Speaker 4: Like, gee, what do you think just reading this? 167 00:06:53,028 --> 00:06:55,188 Speaker 6: The deal ends an unusual summer which Hockinson set out 168 00:06:55,188 --> 00:06:57,828 Speaker 6: almost all the Vikings contact drills.

Is it because Jameson Williams 201 00:08:05,948 --> 00:08:06,508 Speaker 3: is suspended? 202 00:08:06,708 --> 00:08:08,388 Speaker 2: Is it a little top heavy? 203 00:08:08,428 --> 00:08:11,188 Speaker 3: I feel like, yeah, well that's his argument for Justin 204 00:08:11,268 --> 00:08:13,388 Speaker 3: Jefferson all all he said was he's in a commercial. 205 00:08:13,548 --> 00:08:15,428 Speaker 8: Yeah, but is Jefferson amal Ra. 206 00:08:15,628 --> 00:08:18,108 Speaker 7: We like that, but then Marvin Jones as a veteran 207 00:08:18,668 --> 00:08:20,868 Speaker 7: obviously the running back position. We liked the excitement of 208 00:08:20,908 --> 00:08:22,948 Speaker 7: Jamior Gibbs, but amal Ra is. 209 00:08:22,988 --> 00:08:24,108 Speaker 4: Dave Montgomery doesn't do it for you. 210 00:08:24,388 --> 00:08:26,308 Speaker 8: No, I think is a solid running back. 211 00:08:26,428 --> 00:08:29,468 Speaker 4: But I don't like how like after Alexander Madison, how 212 00:08:29,508 --> 00:08:30,148 Speaker 4: do you feel like. 213 00:08:30,148 --> 00:08:35,188 Speaker 7: Who's Justin Jefferson?

This also Offensive Weapons comes at the 218 00:08:45,708 --> 00:08:48,068 Speaker 3: hand of the fact that I was very close to 219 00:08:48,148 --> 00:08:50,268 Speaker 3: picking Jared Goff in the first category, like it is 220 00:08:50,668 --> 00:08:53,148 Speaker 3: Kirk Goff and I for me. 221 00:08:53,388 --> 00:08:55,628 Speaker 8: So like that's like, that's what hell of the division? 222 00:08:55,828 --> 00:08:58,428 Speaker 3: And I kind of want to go with the Lions 223 00:08:58,468 --> 00:09:00,788 Speaker 3: here for the collective, for the collective, but nobody argued 224 00:09:00,828 --> 00:09:01,548 Speaker 3: for them, so I don't think I. 225 00:09:01,668 --> 00:09:03,428 Speaker 1: Well, then Devil's in the details I'm reading it says 226 00:09:03,828 --> 00:09:07,388 Speaker 1: has the not will have Mike's points, So maybe it's 227 00:09:07,428 --> 00:09:09,588 Speaker 1: Jefferson as we're sitting here, but maybe it will be 228 00:09:09,748 --> 00:09:11,948 Speaker 1: the Lions and Saint Brownson's the blow up in again. 229 00:09:12,068 --> 00:09:14,628 Speaker 3: People on this is fun, all right, We're gonna go 230 00:09:14,708 --> 00:09:16,468 Speaker 3: be on the x's and o's for a minute.

If Jordan Love 251 00:10:03,188 --> 00:10:05,028 Speaker 7: can go out there and just ball year one. 252 00:10:05,548 --> 00:10:07,588 Speaker 1: This is a two horse race, community two horse race, 253 00:10:07,628 --> 00:10:09,308 Speaker 1: and who has the best story, And I'm gonna go 254 00:10:09,348 --> 00:10:12,148 Speaker 1: with the other horse. If the Packers make the playoffs 255 00:10:12,148 --> 00:10:14,068 Speaker 1: with Jordan Love, it's really cool and it's really special. 256 00:10:14,108 --> 00:10:16,028 Speaker 1: But like we come playoff time and there's that Packers 257 00:10:16,148 --> 00:10:18,108 Speaker 1: logo and like we get it. It's a muscle memory. 258 00:10:18,308 --> 00:10:20,508 Speaker 2: If we see that Honolulu Blue Lion up on the 259 00:10:20,788 --> 00:10:22,628 Speaker 2: divisional or the title game. 260 00:10:22,868 --> 00:10:24,428 Speaker 1: I mean, if we're going to Las Vegas to see 261 00:10:24,468 --> 00:10:27,588 Speaker 1: the Lions. Mic I have been making it a point 262 00:10:27,628 --> 00:10:29,948 Speaker 1: of pride, do not hold the Lions passed against them. 263 00:10:29,988 --> 00:10:32,428 Speaker 1: It's gratuitous and lame, but it would be very special 264 00:10:32,508 --> 00:10:34,588 Speaker 1: as the franchise, even us as consumers back. 265 00:10:34,828 --> 00:10:38,068 Speaker 2: Oh my god, the Lions are doing so I mean. 266 00:10:38,028 --> 00:10:39,948 Speaker 1: It's been it's been a long time since they've won 267 00:10:39,988 --> 00:10:42,668 Speaker 1: a playoff game. The fact that Jared Goff, he has 268 00:10:42,668 --> 00:10:44,828 Speaker 1: an incredible story that he's going back and have a 269 00:10:44,868 --> 00:10:47,428 Speaker 1: second act. Dan Campbell, everybody rode him off. There's a 270 00:10:47,708 --> 00:10:50,068 Speaker 1: same brown everybody rode them off. I think it's the Lions. 271 00:10:50,108 --> 00:10:52,548 Speaker 1: The Packers have been in the playoffs for thirty years. 272 00:10:52,668 --> 00:10:54,508 Speaker 1: The Lions being in this playoffs would be amazing. 273 00:10:54,548 --> 00:10:56,068 Speaker 6: Stay there because it's the best story.

Will LUTs who 345 00:13:39,228 --> 00:13:41,268 Speaker 3: was just traded from the Saints of the Broncos to 346 00:13:41,468 --> 00:13:44,188 Speaker 3: rejoin his old head coach Sean Payton. When asked about 347 00:13:44,188 --> 00:13:46,948 Speaker 3: the reunion, let's have this to say about Peyton quote, he. 348 00:13:47,028 --> 00:13:48,788 Speaker 4: Tries to get the best out of everyone. 349 00:13:48,908 --> 00:13:51,108 Speaker 3: Man, I truly feel like my best years were with 350 00:13:51,268 --> 00:13:53,548 Speaker 3: him because I was kind of scared to let him down. 351 00:13:54,028 --> 00:13:56,388 Speaker 3: I think that's how a leader is. For Sean to 352 00:13:56,428 --> 00:13:59,068 Speaker 3: come over and get me like he did, It's an honor. 353 00:13:59,188 --> 00:14:01,348 Speaker 3: It's great to feel appreciated, great. 354 00:14:01,148 --> 00:14:03,188 Speaker 4: To be wanted. Amen, Will Lutts. 355 00:14:03,668 --> 00:14:05,588 Speaker 3: Do we think the quote from Will Love's Guys, Are 356 00:14:05,628 --> 00:14:08,468 Speaker 3: you confident that Sean Payton can get the very best 357 00:14:08,548 --> 00:14:09,668 Speaker 3: out of the Broncos this season? 358 00:14:09,748 --> 00:14:10,788 Speaker 4: Three minutes for the collective? 359 00:14:11,428 --> 00:14:13,268 Speaker 6: So I'll be quick no, And I don't think that 360 00:14:13,308 --> 00:14:15,388 Speaker 6: Sean Payton is confident. And I go back to this 361 00:14:15,868 --> 00:14:18,428 Speaker 6: Nathaniel Hackett story where he took some shots at him 362 00:14:18,428 --> 00:14:21,108 Speaker 6: and said here's what happened previously. It's almost a reset 363 00:14:21,188 --> 00:14:23,268 Speaker 6: year for him trying to figure out who his guys are. 364 00:14:23,508 --> 00:14:25,548 Speaker 6: Is the quarterback one of his guys. This is a 365 00:14:25,668 --> 00:14:28,788 Speaker 6: long term build here, So this first season for Sean 366 00:14:28,828 --> 00:14:31,868 Speaker 6: Payton is more of an assessment of what's in house, 367 00:14:32,148 --> 00:14:34,788 Speaker 6: What do we need before he's going to the supermarket, 368 00:14:34,828 --> 00:14:36,348 Speaker 6: What do we have in covered? 369 00:14:36,388 --> 00:14:36,908 Speaker 5: Where are the holes? 370 00:14:36,948 --> 00:14:39,228 Speaker 6: What am I cooking for dinner tonight and for the 371 00:14:39,308 --> 00:14:39,868 Speaker 6: next week here. 372 00:14:39,908 --> 00:14:41,588 Speaker 5: That's what I feel like this year is for Sean Payte. 373 00:14:41,628 --> 00:14:45,628 Speaker 1: I'm so excited to watch you got a made guy. Yes, 374 00:14:45,988 --> 00:14:49,668 Speaker 1: is nothing to prove, gives zero bleeps. It reminds me 375 00:14:49,788 --> 00:14:52,308 Speaker 1: a little bit of like when Parcells took over in Dallas. 376 00:14:52,348 --> 00:14:54,268 Speaker 1: He's like, I'm gonna do it my way. I don't 377 00:14:54,308 --> 00:14:55,068 Speaker 1: care what you think. 378 00:14:55,548 --> 00:14:57,028 Speaker 2: I think some wild stuff's gonna happen with. 379 00:14:57,028 --> 00:14:58,868 Speaker 1: Denver this year, where Peyton is going to make decisions 380 00:14:58,868 --> 00:15:01,108 Speaker 1: that we talk about that we don't understand. I think 381 00:15:01,148 --> 00:15:03,228 Speaker 1: if they start slow and he's not liking how things 382 00:15:03,268 --> 00:15:04,428 Speaker 1: are going, I think he's gonna. 383 00:15:04,188 --> 00:15:06,908 Speaker 2: Crack some skulls. Listen. We don't know what's gonna happen 384 00:15:06,948 --> 00:15:07,828 Speaker 2: with him with Russ. 385 00:15:08,108 --> 00:15:10,588 Speaker 1: I don't know if you saw Michael Lombardi was talking 386 00:15:10,628 --> 00:15:12,868 Speaker 1: to Bill Simmons and he was like, look, I think 387 00:15:12,988 --> 00:15:13,988 Speaker 1: Russ is on a short. 388 00:15:13,908 --> 00:15:14,588 Speaker 2: Leash this year. 389 00:15:15,188 --> 00:15:18,348 Speaker 1: Wow, a short leash you're gonna put in Jared stead 390 00:15:18,348 --> 00:15:20,548 Speaker 1: of start one or two. I know Jason is the 391 00:15:20,588 --> 00:15:22,748 Speaker 1: president of the Jared Stidham Bang Club, but even he's 392 00:15:22,828 --> 00:15:25,068 Speaker 1: not going to that take. I don't agree that Russ 393 00:15:25,148 --> 00:15:26,748 Speaker 1: is on a short leash, but I feel like there's 394 00:15:26,748 --> 00:15:29,628 Speaker 1: people who know football who think anything is possible. 395 00:15:29,748 --> 00:15:31,108 Speaker 2: So will it work? I don't know. 396 00:15:31,228 --> 00:15:33,868 Speaker 1: They're an incredible division and they have some really good players, 397 00:15:33,948 --> 00:15:36,708 Speaker 1: but if it doesn't work, I think Peyton will do 398 00:15:36,868 --> 00:15:40,628 Speaker 1: anything to make it work, cutting players, trading players, benching players. 399 00:15:40,668 --> 00:15:42,188 Speaker 2: He's not gonna sit there and be like, oh, well 400 00:15:42,268 --> 00:15:43,508 Speaker 2: seven and ten warm up year. 401 00:15:43,588 --> 00:15:43,828 Speaker 5: It's not. 402 00:15:44,148 --> 00:15:46,268 Speaker 7: What I love about this is Will Lut's the kicker. 403 00:15:46,588 --> 00:15:49,268 Speaker 7: Is the wrong with the quote talking about Fear and 404 00:15:49,388 --> 00:15:51,028 Speaker 7: what he did for his career. I'm like, Wow, I 405 00:15:51,148 --> 00:15:52,788 Speaker 7: never would have thought the head coach will have such 406 00:15:52,788 --> 00:15:54,148 Speaker 7: a big impact on the kicker. 407 00:15:54,468 --> 00:15:56,228 Speaker 2: Especially the kicker. Love it. 408 00:15:56,348 --> 00:15:58,588 Speaker 7: But I think Sean Payne will get the best out 409 00:15:58,628 --> 00:16:00,508 Speaker 7: of the group he has this year, and I think 410 00:16:00,588 --> 00:16:02,548 Speaker 7: that starts with Russell Wilson. The one thing we've heard 411 00:16:02,588 --> 00:16:04,988 Speaker 7: Russ talk about was he needs to use his legs more. 412 00:16:05,028 --> 00:16:05,828 Speaker 5: He needs to run more. 413 00:16:05,908 --> 00:16:08,108 Speaker 7: I think that's the part that we missed last year, 414 00:16:08,468 --> 00:16:10,348 Speaker 7: him getting the most out of his guys. 415 00:16:10,668 --> 00:16:12,548 Speaker 8: I think the more question is what is that a 416 00:16:12,668 --> 00:16:13,188 Speaker 8: result of. 417 00:16:13,548 --> 00:16:15,108 Speaker 7: If he gets the most out of them, is that 418 00:16:15,228 --> 00:16:17,868 Speaker 7: a playoff team or is that just the Denver Broncos 419 00:16:17,948 --> 00:16:19,908 Speaker 7: win more than a few games like they did a 420 00:16:20,028 --> 00:16:20,428 Speaker 7: year ago. 421 00:16:21,108 --> 00:16:23,348 Speaker 8: That is the biggest question. The most out of them, 422 00:16:23,348 --> 00:16:25,428 Speaker 8: I don't know if that still equals. 423 00:16:25,228 --> 00:16:27,948 Speaker 7: A playoff team and must has a better year. I 424 00:16:27,988 --> 00:16:29,548 Speaker 7: don't know if he has the weapons around him to 425 00:16:29,628 --> 00:16:31,228 Speaker 7: still be able to take this team as much as 426 00:16:31,428 --> 00:16:33,788 Speaker 7: Schroeger told us about Greg Dulcic and I love him, 427 00:16:33,828 --> 00:16:35,628 Speaker 7: I don't know if that's gonna be what gets this 428 00:16:35,748 --> 00:16:38,708 Speaker 7: Denver Bronco team over the top, especially in their division 429 00:16:38,748 --> 00:16:39,708 Speaker 7: that they're in, Right is. 430 00:16:39,748 --> 00:16:42,348 Speaker 3: Dulcige Grob Gronkowski, Like, that's that's what he's gonna have 431 00:16:42,468 --> 00:16:44,388 Speaker 3: to be if they're gonna lift in the NFC West? 432 00:16:44,628 --> 00:16:45,188 Speaker 4: Are you coming in? 433 00:16:45,228 --> 00:16:47,388 Speaker 3: Sean Payton can get the very best he better? That 434 00:16:47,588 --> 00:16:49,348 Speaker 3: was when I read this question. I was like, the 435 00:16:49,428 --> 00:16:51,908 Speaker 3: amount a heat that'sam Sean Payton right now? Like everyone's 436 00:16:51,948 --> 00:16:53,508 Speaker 3: like Wow, you can really coach the hell out of 437 00:16:53,548 --> 00:16:55,628 Speaker 3: any team. He's a winner, he's a champion. The things 438 00:16:55,668 --> 00:16:57,228 Speaker 3: that he has come out and said, he's got a 439 00:16:57,348 --> 00:16:59,668 Speaker 3: standard that he has set and like the flock is 440 00:16:59,748 --> 00:17:01,508 Speaker 3: going to come for him if he does not figure 441 00:17:01,548 --> 00:17:02,828 Speaker 3: it out three and one. 442 00:17:03,068 --> 00:17:04,868 Speaker 4: Four and two six too. 443 00:17:05,108 --> 00:17:07,228 Speaker 3: Like it's got to go well in Denver because he 444 00:17:07,348 --> 00:17:09,428 Speaker 3: has set that standard. He's put that out there. He 445 00:17:09,548 --> 00:17:11,108 Speaker 3: put the veil over his team, but he's been very 446 00:17:11,188 --> 00:17:13,988 Speaker 3: vocal about how he's gonna go coach. Former NFL defensive 447 00:17:14,068 --> 00:17:16,708 Speaker 3: ed Chris Long had Chiefs head coach Andy Reid on 448 00:17:16,828 --> 00:17:19,388 Speaker 3: his green Light podcast this week and asked Andy Reid 449 00:17:19,428 --> 00:17:22,228 Speaker 3: if it's true that he draws inspiration for plays and 450 00:17:22,308 --> 00:17:24,668 Speaker 3: concepts from anywhere in the organization. 451 00:17:24,948 --> 00:17:26,148 Speaker 4: Here was Reed's response. 452 00:17:26,508 --> 00:17:28,708 Speaker 10: I took one from a janitor one time at Green Bay. 453 00:17:28,788 --> 00:17:33,228 Speaker 10: I mean, I'll take it from anywhere. So we know 454 00:17:33,308 --> 00:17:35,148 Speaker 10: we had a janitor. There was a mom and pop 455 00:17:35,228 --> 00:17:38,188 Speaker 10: group that cleaned our facility forever, and then they work 456 00:17:38,268 --> 00:17:40,508 Speaker 10: game day and they go up and do the suites, 457 00:17:40,588 --> 00:17:42,308 Speaker 10: you know, at halftime and all that kind of tide 458 00:17:42,388 --> 00:17:44,188 Speaker 10: him up. So you know, this guy kept telling me 459 00:17:44,308 --> 00:17:46,468 Speaker 10: who's he was the owner of the company, the father 460 00:17:46,628 --> 00:17:49,508 Speaker 10: of the family, and he goes, I've got this play 461 00:17:49,628 --> 00:17:52,028 Speaker 10: for you, and he kept telling me this over. Finally 462 00:17:52,028 --> 00:17:54,268 Speaker 10: I said, okay, here's a card. You know the cards 463 00:17:54,308 --> 00:17:56,788 Speaker 10: that you do for I said, here's a card.

They stayn on 472 00:18:11,068 --> 00:18:13,668 Speaker 10: the sideline on the field, and we called the play 473 00:18:13,828 --> 00:18:16,468 Speaker 10: just before halftime in his score and he starts hitting 474 00:18:16,508 --> 00:18:17,148 Speaker 10: his wife. 475 00:18:16,948 --> 00:18:19,068 Speaker 8: And he's gone, He's gone, that's my play. 476 00:18:19,188 --> 00:18:19,708 Speaker 2: That's my play. 477 00:18:19,828 --> 00:18:21,908 Speaker 5: She's going, yeah, right, yeah, sure it is. 478 00:18:23,548 --> 00:18:27,588 Speaker 3: Can you imagine Janitor Jennar, clean up, clean up, clean up. 479 00:18:27,668 --> 00:18:28,388 Speaker 4: That's amazing. 480 00:18:28,828 --> 00:18:30,188 Speaker 3: What do we make of that story from Mandy y 481 00:18:30,228 --> 00:18:32,508 Speaker 3: Now you got two minutes she's pulling concepts from anywhere. 482 00:18:32,548 --> 00:18:33,268 Speaker 4: Two minutes on the clock. 483 00:18:33,308 --> 00:18:35,188 Speaker 5: Mike go, it must be and Andy Reid Tree thing. 484 00:18:35,268 --> 00:18:37,948 Speaker 6: Because Doug Peterson in the NFC Championship Game a couple 485 00:18:37,988 --> 00:18:41,468 Speaker 6: of years ago ran a flea flicker that was suggested 486 00:18:41,548 --> 00:18:44,708 Speaker 6: to him week in and week out by a secretary. 487 00:18:44,788 --> 00:18:48,828 Speaker 6: When Peterson was working for Andy Reid. Carol was the 488 00:18:48,868 --> 00:18:50,628 Speaker 6: one who always type up our game plan. This isn't 489 00:18:50,628 --> 00:18:53,268 Speaker 6: a story by Peter King. She'd always look for one 490 00:18:53,308 --> 00:18:55,148 Speaker 6: section of the game plan is the flea flicker in 491 00:18:55,228 --> 00:18:56,468 Speaker 6: She just loved the flea flicker. 492 00:18:56,668 --> 00:18:58,628 Speaker 5: She loved the play. I think she even loved the name. 493 00:18:58,668 --> 00:19:00,988 Speaker 6: And every week I'd say, oh, Carol, sorry, it didn't 494 00:19:01,028 --> 00:19:03,188 Speaker 6: make the list this week. Maybe next week, maybe in 495 00:19:03,188 --> 00:19:05,628 Speaker 6: the NFC Championship game. And then here's the best part. 496 00:19:05,828 --> 00:19:08,788 Speaker 6: Rihanna tweeted out that my aunt got fired by Chip 497 00:19:08,908 --> 00:19:11,908 Speaker 6: Kelly gets a Super Bowl ring from the Eagles that 498 00:19:12,028 --> 00:19:14,508 Speaker 6: year because she contributed with a flea flicker that Doug 499 00:19:14,588 --> 00:19:17,868 Speaker 6: Peterson finally put in the game plan in the biggest 500 00:19:17,948 --> 00:19:19,748 Speaker 6: game that you could possibly play in your home stadium. 501 00:19:19,788 --> 00:19:20,588 Speaker 2: That's unbelievable. 502 00:19:20,668 --> 00:19:21,268 Speaker 4: That's awesome. 503 00:19:21,348 --> 00:19:24,508 Speaker 1: I need to call upon the Chiefs media and really 504 00:19:24,588 --> 00:19:27,028 Speaker 1: the Packers media. We need to know more about this play. 505 00:19:27,268 --> 00:19:29,628 Speaker 2: So he mentions that it goes in the game, it 506 00:19:29,748 --> 00:19:30,788 Speaker 2: scores a touchdown. 507 00:19:30,908 --> 00:19:34,068 Speaker 1: Let's find out what play this was it? Robert Brooks, 508 00:19:34,628 --> 00:19:37,828 Speaker 1: wasn't Antonio Freeman. I need to see the play, So 509 00:19:38,428 --> 00:19:41,228 Speaker 1: chiefs media, please ask Coach Reed if he remembers this, 510 00:19:41,348 --> 00:19:43,588 Speaker 1: and then the Packers, guys and girls. I'm sure you 511 00:19:43,708 --> 00:19:46,108 Speaker 1: could call upon this. It's ninety seven ninety eight was 512 00:19:46,148 --> 00:19:47,948 Speaker 1: when he is the assistant head coach. He had a 513 00:19:48,028 --> 00:19:49,988 Speaker 1: previous title for a few years.

Rick Stroud down Tampa, who covers the Tampa 633 00:25:39,148 --> 00:25:41,148 Speaker 6: Bay Buccaneers, had written a story saying talks of it 634 00:25:41,228 --> 00:25:43,748 Speaker 6: as snaged between the sides and this could be evans 635 00:25:43,908 --> 00:25:46,748 Speaker 6: last year with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. Well, let's take 636 00:25:46,788 --> 00:25:50,308 Speaker 6: another step toward that, because Mike Evans agent Derek Gilmour 637 00:25:50,428 --> 00:25:53,028 Speaker 6: of Day one Sports sent me a statement just now 638 00:25:53,188 --> 00:25:56,188 Speaker 6: in which he says that Evans side will cut off 639 00:25:56,308 --> 00:25:59,628 Speaker 6: negotiations with the Buccaneers if a deal is not reached 640 00:25:59,788 --> 00:26:03,108 Speaker 6: by September ninth, which is next Saturday, one day before 641 00:26:03,148 --> 00:26:06,628 Speaker 6: the Buccaneers open the regular season. He says, beyond that point, 642 00:26:06,668 --> 00:26:08,668 Speaker 6: one hundred percent of Mike's focus. 643 00:26:08,428 --> 00:26:09,868 Speaker 5: Will be on football. 644 00:26:09,988 --> 00:26:10,108 Speaker 1: Now. 645 00:26:10,148 --> 00:26:13,708 Speaker 6: He doesn't say it explicitly in the statement, but I 646 00:26:13,868 --> 00:26:16,468 Speaker 6: believe that when he says cut off negotiations, it's not 647 00:26:16,708 --> 00:26:18,388 Speaker 6: just oh, for the rest of the season. I think 648 00:26:18,428 --> 00:26:21,908 Speaker 6: he's cutting off negotiations period and that Evans and Gilmour 649 00:26:21,988 --> 00:26:24,268 Speaker 6: will now look toward a future that does not include 650 00:26:24,348 --> 00:26:26,268 Speaker 6: Evans in a buccaneer's uniform. 651 00:26:26,388 --> 00:26:27,828 Speaker 5: So the deadline has been set. 652 00:26:27,988 --> 00:26:30,868 Speaker 6: There is no offer that has been made to this point, 653 00:26:30,988 --> 00:26:33,428 Speaker 6: according to Gilmore in this statement. Now, that doesn't mean 654 00:26:33,508 --> 00:26:35,588 Speaker 6: the sites haven't had some discussions about money, it's just 655 00:26:35,628 --> 00:26:36,148 Speaker 6: that there's. 656 00:26:35,948 --> 00:26:37,468 Speaker 5: Been no formal offer to this point. 657 00:26:37,588 --> 00:26:41,868 Speaker 6: We have seen players get extended throughout the entire offseason TJ. 658 00:26:42,028 --> 00:26:43,028 Speaker 5: Hawkinson yesterday. 659 00:26:43,148 --> 00:26:45,388 Speaker 6: We have also seen players who held out and didn't 660 00:26:45,388 --> 00:26:47,828 Speaker 6: show up for camp, and Gilmour in his statement lauds 661 00:26:47,908 --> 00:26:48,988 Speaker 6: his client, and I urge. 662 00:26:48,828 --> 00:26:50,788 Speaker 5: You to go to Twitter. I just tweeted out the 663 00:26:50,828 --> 00:26:51,428 Speaker 5: full statement. 664 00:26:51,668 --> 00:26:54,388 Speaker 6: He lauds his client for showing up and showing that 665 00:26:54,508 --> 00:26:56,508 Speaker 6: he wants to be a part of practices and everything 666 00:26:56,508 --> 00:26:59,068 Speaker 6: the Buccaneers are doing and not holding out. In fact, 667 00:26:59,148 --> 00:27:01,068 Speaker 6: I was at the joint practices with the Jets. Evans 668 00:27:01,188 --> 00:27:02,628 Speaker 6: was in there and a couple of the scrums that 669 00:27:02,668 --> 00:27:04,428 Speaker 6: were happening, throwing himself in there, and I'm saying, what 670 00:27:04,548 --> 00:27:05,028 Speaker 6: are you doing? 671 00:27:05,188 --> 00:27:07,588 Speaker 5: Get out of there? Come on, he got your contract extension. 672 00:27:07,628 --> 00:27:08,148 Speaker 2: So here we are. 673 00:27:08,188 --> 00:27:10,508 Speaker 6: We've got eight days for the Buccaneers and Mike Evans 674 00:27:10,548 --> 00:27:13,508 Speaker 6: to reach a contract extension. Otherwise the potential future Hall 675 00:27:13,508 --> 00:27:16,068 Speaker 6: of Fame wide receiver could be playing elsewhere in twenty 676 00:27:16,148 --> 00:27:16,548 Speaker 6: twenty four. 677 00:27:16,628 --> 00:27:18,868 Speaker 7: Now, Mike, what you're saying, the possibility he plays through 678 00:27:18,908 --> 00:27:20,668 Speaker 7: the season, has a great year, goals for a thousand 679 00:27:20,748 --> 00:27:23,148 Speaker 7: yards like he always does. There may be a point 680 00:27:23,148 --> 00:27:25,908 Speaker 7: where all season hits and Mike Evans and his crew 681 00:27:25,948 --> 00:27:28,668 Speaker 7: are like, we're not even negotiating. We're just going to 682 00:27:29,148 --> 00:27:31,508 Speaker 7: go somewhere else, even if they off from a contract 683 00:27:31,548 --> 00:27:32,508 Speaker 7: that he likes at that point. 684 00:27:32,588 --> 00:27:35,068 Speaker 6: Now, listen, anybody can say anything in December yeah, and 685 00:27:35,148 --> 00:27:37,988 Speaker 6: then change their mind or something changes in February March. 686 00:27:38,668 --> 00:27:41,388 Speaker 6: This is the leverage play right now, right you let 687 00:27:41,468 --> 00:27:43,908 Speaker 6: them know that this is your windows. The other thing 688 00:27:43,988 --> 00:27:46,228 Speaker 6: is there's a franchise tag potentially that the Buccaneers have 689 00:27:46,268 --> 00:27:48,868 Speaker 6: at their disposal. Certainly, but even if that happens, you 690 00:27:48,908 --> 00:27:49,868 Speaker 6: could say we told you. 691 00:27:49,948 --> 00:27:51,988 Speaker 8: Can envision Mike Evans in a different uniform. 692 00:27:52,068 --> 00:27:53,988 Speaker 1: It's crazy, and I gets I think he may be 693 00:27:54,108 --> 00:27:56,148 Speaker 1: the only wide receiver in the league who is the 694 00:27:56,188 --> 00:27:57,988 Speaker 1: face of his team like he is the face of 695 00:27:58,028 --> 00:27:58,628 Speaker 1: the Buccaneers. 696 00:27:58,748 --> 00:28:00,508 Speaker 2: He's the surest thing in the league every single year. 697 00:28:00,508 --> 00:28:01,828 Speaker 2: He's on a Hall of Fame trajectory. 698 00:28:02,108 --> 00:28:04,548 Speaker 1: Look, Mike may be looking around at the two only 699 00:28:04,588 --> 00:28:06,948 Speaker 1: twenty three Buccaneers and being like, and I have to 700 00:28:06,988 --> 00:28:08,668 Speaker 1: tell you, Mike, no matter what happens with your contract, 701 00:28:08,748 --> 00:28:11,268 Speaker 1: you could make so much money in retirement writing a 702 00:28:11,308 --> 00:28:13,028 Speaker 1: book about the quarterbacks you've played with. 703 00:28:13,148 --> 00:28:13,948 Speaker 2: Let's just let's say it. 704 00:28:14,068 --> 00:28:18,908 Speaker 1: Oh, Johnny Jamis, Brady Baker. That is three Heisman winners, 705 00:28:18,948 --> 00:28:20,828 Speaker 1: that is two number one overall picks. He did not 706 00:28:20,908 --> 00:28:22,708 Speaker 1: appear in the Johnny Man's on Netflix stock. I think 707 00:28:22,708 --> 00:28:24,428 Speaker 1: it's because he's saving his stuff for the book. 708 00:28:24,468 --> 00:28:25,228 Speaker 2: And that is smart. 709 00:28:25,348 --> 00:28:27,828 Speaker 1: Mike, your quarterback Book's gonna be unbelievable. Just shut off 710 00:28:27,868 --> 00:28:29,468 Speaker 1: and you'll make bank after the career, I promise. 711 00:28:29,548 --> 00:28:31,348 Speaker 2: Amazing.

Week one is the Jordan Love 811 00:32:17,308 --> 00:32:19,988 Speaker 1: or Justin fields? Which one they play each other? Which 812 00:32:20,028 --> 00:32:22,588 Speaker 1: one should hit the field ready. I think it's Justin Fields. 813 00:32:22,628 --> 00:32:24,708 Speaker 1: I think he has fewer excuses to not be good 814 00:32:24,748 --> 00:32:27,548 Speaker 1: than Jordan Love. He's played way more than Jordan Love, 815 00:32:27,788 --> 00:32:30,068 Speaker 1: way more. This is the time, guys, This is how 816 00:32:30,108 --> 00:32:32,668 Speaker 1: it works. You're a three year old kid in the NFL. 817 00:32:33,148 --> 00:32:35,788 Speaker 1: You got all the toys to play with. You got 818 00:32:35,868 --> 00:32:38,308 Speaker 1: better players on defense to help you. You got better linemen. 819 00:32:38,308 --> 00:32:41,308 Speaker 1: They drafted the linemen, they paid the wid This is it, guys, 820 00:32:41,508 --> 00:32:45,068 Speaker 1: This is it. There is no well Matt Nagy doesn't 821 00:32:45,108 --> 00:32:47,668 Speaker 1: know how to use them, or yeah, this is a 822 00:32:47,748 --> 00:32:51,148 Speaker 1: development year under Eberfo's. No, there's a no development year. 823 00:32:51,228 --> 00:32:52,628 Speaker 1: They know how to use them, they know how to 824 00:32:52,668 --> 00:32:56,868 Speaker 1: support them. Beat the Packers. That's it, Joe, Justin Field's 825 00:32:56,868 --> 00:32:58,708 Speaker 1: got to play. He's gotta play well. He's got to 826 00:32:58,748 --> 00:33:01,028 Speaker 1: look like a star. This is why you wear the 827 00:33:01,188 --> 00:33:01,588 Speaker 1: sea on. 828 00:33:01,708 --> 00:33:05,108 Speaker 2: Your helmet for Chicago, the sea on your chest. As captain, 829 00:33:05,308 --> 00:33:06,428 Speaker 2: you're the leader of that team. 830 00:33:06,628 --> 00:33:08,948 Speaker 1: They got a Neil fight coming in a quarterback for 831 00:33:08,988 --> 00:33:11,348 Speaker 1: the Packers. Beat him, do not lose that game. I 832 00:33:11,348 --> 00:33:12,188 Speaker 1: think it's Justin Fields. 833 00:33:12,548 --> 00:33:14,348 Speaker 6: I agree with you, and I think that there are 834 00:33:14,428 --> 00:33:16,748 Speaker 6: fewer excuses because we talked about the depth chart earlier, 835 00:33:17,068 --> 00:33:18,428 Speaker 6: just a year ago. We were saying, what are the 836 00:33:18,468 --> 00:33:20,068 Speaker 6: Bears going to do to surround this guy with Tom? 837 00:33:20,268 --> 00:33:20,428 Speaker 12: There? 838 00:33:20,428 --> 00:33:23,228 Speaker 5: It is, it's there, it's on paper, provided they stay healthy. 839 00:33:23,268 --> 00:33:25,028 Speaker 6: For me, it's the New England Patriots, and it's the 840 00:33:25,068 --> 00:33:27,108 Speaker 6: fact that Tom Brady is coming to the building in 841 00:33:27,188 --> 00:33:29,348 Speaker 6: week one and it's against the Eagles, who are the 842 00:33:29,428 --> 00:33:32,948 Speaker 6: defending NFC champions. And it's the fact that Bill O'Brien 843 00:33:33,068 --> 00:33:35,508 Speaker 6: is back and everybody is expecting to hit the ground running. 844 00:33:35,508 --> 00:33:38,428 Speaker 6: It's the fact that Mac Jones, well he still does 845 00:33:38,548 --> 00:33:41,268 Speaker 6: have Bailey Zappy sorta looking over his showlder, but it 846 00:33:41,388 --> 00:33:43,348 Speaker 6: was an indication when the Patriots waived him that there 847 00:33:43,428 --> 00:33:45,948 Speaker 6: is no quarterback competition here that this is Mac Jones. 848 00:33:45,988 --> 00:33:48,388 Speaker 6: So you talk about a lack of excuses, there are 849 00:33:48,508 --> 00:33:50,948 Speaker 6: none any more. But there is an owner who back 850 00:33:50,988 --> 00:33:53,428 Speaker 6: at the league meeting, was talking about a succession plan 851 00:33:53,708 --> 00:33:56,468 Speaker 6: at the head coaching position, talking about Gerard Mayo as the. 852 00:33:56,468 --> 00:33:58,388 Speaker 5: Coach of the future potentially for this team. 853 00:33:59,348 --> 00:34:01,868 Speaker 6: You start throwing that out there, I know exactly what 854 00:34:01,988 --> 00:34:03,068 Speaker 6: you're thinking, Robert Craft. 855 00:34:03,228 --> 00:34:03,868 Speaker 5: It is time. 856 00:34:04,228 --> 00:34:06,988 Speaker 6: As much as that gentleman right there has all the 857 00:34:07,068 --> 00:34:07,948 Speaker 6: skins on the wall that. 858 00:34:07,988 --> 00:34:09,068 Speaker 5: You could possibly need. 859 00:34:09,268 --> 00:34:11,828 Speaker 6: What a season for Emma it is, And this is 860 00:34:11,868 --> 00:34:13,948 Speaker 6: going to be a fascinating story. My coach, you can't 861 00:34:13,988 --> 00:34:16,748 Speaker 6: trip up coaching.
