Good Morning Football is the production of the NFL in
partnership with iHeartRadio.
Speaker 2 (00:10):
Good Morning Football on a Friday, Lucy Coucy Friday. We're
live in LA. We're live in New York, August First, everybody.
What's happening Jamie at All, Manti, Taloe, Will Blackman, Kyle
Brandt Real football last night. Kyle's got a highlight in
his hand. Will's wearing a giant sweatshirt. We're gonna check
in with training camp. Oh, it's perfect, exactly, Judy says. There, Kyle,
(00:31):
you hold up that piece of paper, you give it
a kiss for me, and you get ready to read
that Hall of Fame game highlight with love.
Speaker 3 (00:39):
Yeah, show yeah, good football.
Speaker 2 (00:58):
Yeah, that's right. GMFB on a Friday. What's happened everybody, Jamie, Manti, Will, Kyle,
Kyle quick question. Manton and I were at Charge camp
last weekend. Do you have people in your life that
learned that Trey Lance is on the roster with the
LA Chargers when the game began last night?
Speaker 4 (01:13):
To be honest, people in my.
Speaker 1 (01:15):
Life, it's me, Yeah, so oh Trey Lance is there.
Speaker 5 (01:19):
It's crazy. Let's go, buddy, to go to State.
Speaker 2 (01:24):
What a journey that quarterback has lived. Indeed he is
on and now it's like a backup quarterback conversation with
the La Chargers. But you can't tell me that Jim
Harbaugh doesn't work some magic with the quarterbacks when they
come into town. Trey Lance looked great, Charges look awesome.
There was a real game last night, all right. So, Kyle,
one of the things that was not on the field
last night was something we were so used to, which
is our band of merry men coming out on the
(01:46):
field and measuring to see where the ball is placed.
Can you just, Kyle, for before we start this conversation,
give us a brief history of maybe how we got
here with what you're used to seeing if you're a
football fan, and what we will not be seeing moving forward.
Speaker 4 (01:59):
All right.
Speaker 1 (01:59):
So it's a third down or fourth down, somebody gets tackled.
You're not really sure if you got the first down
or not, even with the yellow line on the broadcast.
So for years and years and years and decades and decades,
they bring out the chain gang and it's someone literally
who grabs a chain, walks out, puts it down on
the mark, and then they pull the orange stick and
stick it down and the ball sometimes comes up short.
(02:21):
Sometimes you don't think it does, sometimes you're not sure
if it does. It always has felt very archaic to us,
especially recently, most famously twenty seventeen. Jean Sterotur, now an
employee of CBS, was the referee at the time. And
this is Dak Prescott, okay, And he sneaks it and
he gets in and like Sterturs said, I'm not really
sure if it's to the stick or not.
Speaker 4 (02:41):
But I got a card.
Speaker 5 (02:42):
Can I fit a card in between the ball and
the stick? He could? Look what he says, that's Gane,
great guy, love Gene. First down and.
Speaker 1 (02:50):
Jack saying, well, hold on, if you can stick a
card in between it, why is it a first down?
And Jason Garrett says no, it is a first time.
So people online are saying, wait a second. We got
crazy technology with which to manage this and measure this,
maybe we should implement it. And I think this league
loves its history and it loves purity, and it doesn't
(03:11):
like change of the optics. But here we go virtual measurement.
Last night in this game, they have it digitally. They
put it up right away. It saves a lot of time.
They said this will take about thirty seconds, whereas the
chain gang measurement will take close to ninety seconds. They
used it last night. Guys, seem pretty seamless. But I
know a lot of times people see technology and they
(03:32):
get scared, and this is the computer is taking over.
Maybe I have some purists at the table. What did
you guys.
Speaker 5 (03:38):
Think of it?
Speaker 4 (03:39):
I thought it was pretty cool.
Speaker 6 (03:40):
I thought it was a great attempt at the NFL
to trying to make this game a little bit more accurate,
try to take the error out of there.
Speaker 4 (03:45):
But we have a question later on in the show.
Speaker 6 (03:48):
What's something that doesn't take long but it feels like
forever KB You know when they start to stretch that
chain and it's like fourth in inches and that's that
one moment that it's not that long, it's like five seconds,
but it takes so it seems to exciting ever and
then there's a celebration at the end, Like that's what
I'm going to miss a lot when we start to
implement that. But I think when you look at the
NFL and you're doing things, it's just it's more efficient,
(04:11):
it's more accurate, and therefore could create and the result
is a better game, and so I liked it. I
just go, I'm going to miss those celebrations to stop
late or.
Speaker 2 (04:21):
The gasp of disappointment the.
Speaker 4 (04:24):
Runoff, and it'll be instant, right, It'll be instant.
Speaker 7 (04:27):
And I first was like looking at I'm like, you
know what football fan is going to be in the uproar.
But we're using other sports. We use it in tennis,
use it baseball. We're using all these other sports, so
why not bring it to football. But it's no one's
going to be happy regardless, but I like it.
Speaker 4 (04:40):
It's gonna be quicker the game.
Speaker 5 (04:41):
Man.
Speaker 4 (04:41):
I just got me repped up.
Speaker 1 (04:42):
The technology looks good, but there is that awesome moment
where they got it down and they pull that thing
and they're abouts and you can as a viewer you're like,
oh my god, I don't know if it's short enough.
Speaker 5 (04:52):
It's long now.
Speaker 1 (04:54):
If they get it in the first down, usually the
referee will give this.
Speaker 5 (04:58):
Big emphatic and they'll be all fired up. But the
best is though, when that's bucker is coming.
Speaker 1 (05:05):
Down and you're like, oh my god, oh my god,
it's going to be short, and the defense loses their
mind runs off the field, celebrates.
Speaker 5 (05:13):
It is a great moment.
Speaker 1 (05:14):
They run off the field like college basketball kids run
off the bench after a buzzer beater. And now that
I'm saying it, I like the technology, but I do
love that planting of the stick.
Speaker 5 (05:24):
It's an exciting little moment in the game.
Speaker 2 (05:27):
They feel like they were part of the team or
part of the broadcast the league. Now, after having watched
it last night, they're beginning to weigh in. So everyone's
at training camp. Dolphins head coach Mike McDaniel, he had
to take this morning. Now we just have the sound
coming in. Now he's got a response to seeing the
game with the new technology.
Speaker 8 (05:44):
Unfortunately, are we going to have less players running into
humans standing with metal sticks? Because if that's the case,
I don't want any part of it.
Speaker 2 (05:53):
Why is there any other way to answer that question
in that way if you're Mike McDaniel, No, yes, coach,
less humans with metal sticks for which players could run
into potentially, it's so weird.
Speaker 1 (06:07):
I love Mike ill out the Dolphins win this year.
Speaker 4 (06:10):
I hope, I hope he's around forever.
Speaker 1 (06:12):
What an unusual guy, What a strange response.
Speaker 5 (06:14):
I love that guy. I mean, that's so awesome.
Speaker 2 (06:17):
Sometimes when I hear that first exhale out of him,
I'm like.
Speaker 5 (06:20):
Oh boy, where are we going?
Speaker 4 (06:21):
We coming? Boy?
Speaker 2 (06:23):
I bet that's how Judy Batista feels about our show.
Speaker 4 (06:26):
Sometime.
Speaker 2 (06:26):
Let's bring in our NFL network one of our best
and our most reliable insiders, Judy Patisa. She's that Giants
training camp duty. Thank you for joining us, bear with us,
with our antics. This morning, we got a pro Bowl
wide receiver. You're looking at Melik Neighbors. He was dealing
with an injury earlier this week. How's he looking at practice?
What's the mood of the Giants today?
Speaker 9 (06:43):
Yeah, I don't think we need to worry about Malik
neighbors shoulder anymore after the performance he put on here yesterday.
Russell Wilson rolled to his right, launched the ball about
fifty yards in the air. It was a patented Russ
moon ball, and Milik Neighbors, who was.
Speaker 5 (07:00):
In really good coverage.
Speaker 9 (07:01):
Here's the play, actually really good coverage here battles the
coverage and just comes down with it. This is just
like what Malik Neighbors has been doing in training camp
and making these crazy catches. I talked to people with
the Giants. I was out here on Sunday, and the
word they use is special. He and Russ have had
a really good chemistry going so far in training camp.
They actually spend some time together in the offseason, and
(07:25):
Russ told us he's really impressed by neighbors the questions
he has not just about football questions on the field,
but things about how to take care of your body,
how to take care of your mind.
Speaker 5 (07:35):
Russ said he's not just.
Speaker 3 (07:36):
A physical freak.
Speaker 9 (07:37):
He said, he wants to be an all time great,
and he's got the ability to get there.
Speaker 5 (07:43):
Russ said, it's his job.
Speaker 2 (07:44):
To help him get there.
Speaker 9 (07:45):
And certainly the looks of this training camp, they have
a really nice connection going duty.
Speaker 1 (07:50):
Let's get back into the quarterback room in general. It
is really a loaded deck. I mean, what a fascinating room.
You have Russell Wilson on his fourth team in five years.
You have this confident rookie Jackson Dart, you have the
clown prints of the NFL Jamis Winston.
Speaker 5 (08:03):
That's not even to mention cultural icon.
Speaker 1 (08:05):
Tommy Devino tell us about the room, particularly Russell and Jackson.
Speaker 2 (08:10):
They meeting.
Speaker 9 (08:11):
The Giants love both of them. They love Russell Wilson here.
I can tell you I've been around this team a
long time and.
Speaker 5 (08:19):
Good days and bad days.
Speaker 9 (08:21):
He has brought an energy here and a positivity that
somebody in the Giants organization said to me, we needed that.
They needed the positivity, right, They needed not just the
veteran experience and all of that, but they needed somebody
to build up these players. And you see Russell Wilson
going around, not just offensive players, defensive players. He makes
a point of name checking everyone. So they love him.
(08:43):
Jackson Dart, they're really encouraged by what they have seen
from Jackson Dart. They use the words like moxie and grit,
not just his football intelligence. He's certainly got an arm,
he's got a ways to go, but they love his
emotional intelligence. They said, he's the kind of guy who
could go to a Broadway show with you one night
and then the next day go hunting with you. So
(09:05):
they love how he is connecting to everybody.
Speaker 4 (09:07):
In the room.
Speaker 9 (09:08):
You're right, there's a lot of personality in that quarterback room. Honestly,
Hard Knot should just do like Giants quarterback room.
Speaker 5 (09:15):
I would definitely watch that.
Speaker 9 (09:17):
It would be awesome, but for the for the two
ones that we've all been keying on, Russell Wilson and
Jackson Dorth. The Giants right now are thrilled with what
they've got.
Speaker 2 (09:26):
That's good. Good for them. That's exactly where you want
to be in early August, Duty Batista, thank you so much.
Dare I say, stay warm a Giants training camp today?
All right, we appreciate you. All right, well, bless you.
I get a blanket. Just before I ask this first
question about the NFC East, Kyle, did you just use
the term clown prince? Is that I've never heard that before.
Speaker 5 (09:47):
Was that from clown Prince?
Speaker 1 (09:48):
That's like, yeah, it's not calling someone a clown. Clown
Prince is like like the Joker has described that way sometimes,
like the clown Prince of comics.
Speaker 5 (09:56):
It's that Jamis is.
Speaker 4 (09:58):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (09:58):
I mean, it's basically the guy we look to for
a laugh right now. He's like the number one guy
in the league, and he knows that he owns it.
Speaker 2 (10:03):
He loves Yeah, it's PERFECTA make sure Manton I looked
dead at each other, So you say clown Prince was perfect.
We got that question cleared up. So now let's just
move to the division. As a whole biggest question mark
as you see it right now in this division, the
NFC East Manton.
Speaker 6 (10:17):
Well, it's got to be who's going to challenge the egos.
That's the same question that every division asks themselves when
they get into a new season, is how do we
defeat the champs? And so let's go through the.
Speaker 4 (10:26):
The division a little bit. The giants that rush to
Malik Neighbors.
Speaker 6 (10:30):
Report, I think that's been the report that has been
the loudest one coming out of that camp is Melik
Neighbors has found a best friend in Russell Wilson and
that moon ball is well and alive.
Speaker 4 (10:40):
Now.
Speaker 6 (10:41):
I do like the defense over there with their front
where they have Burns, Tipadaw Lawrence and Carter Abdul Carter
in the in the clips, he's been a wrecking ball.
He's just been getting in the backfield. Now that's going
to be important when you have to come by and
play Jalen Hurts and keep him in the middle. Now, Commanders,
you've got the offensive stuff and von Miller, I think
adding him is going to be has been a great
addition and will be a great addition. They're going to
(11:02):
use him in a certain situation is not all. And
then the Cowboys. I think the things that have stood
out to me about the Cowboys camp is this George
Pickens and CD Lamb thing. It's it's very very real,
and George Pickens seems to be very very comfortable there.
So I'm excited for Dak Prescott and that whole entire
offense to have that addition. So when you look at
all of those teams, that's going to be the biggest
(11:23):
question for me, Kyle about who's going to be throwing
the champs, and each one of them have their have
their own weaknesses and they have their own strengths.
Speaker 4 (11:31):
Yeah.
Speaker 5 (11:31):
I mean, I look at the four teams.
Speaker 1 (11:32):
There's a there's a couple period teams, there's an exclamation
point team, and there's definitely a question mark team.
Speaker 5 (11:38):
It's the Giants.
Speaker 1 (11:38):
I just did the Giants have anything this year? And
I just I know that's overarching. Are they going to
be a factor this year? Is Brian Dable loving Russell
Wilson like he's saying great?
Speaker 4 (11:47):
Now?
Speaker 1 (11:48):
Will that continue once the season starts.
Speaker 5 (11:49):
There's a lot of things in that quarterback room, a
lot of.
Speaker 1 (11:52):
Dynamics and personalities and potential.
Speaker 5 (11:54):
Russell Wilson is a very odd job.
Speaker 1 (11:56):
You're the man now, but you know you won't be
in the future. He's never I don't know, just it's unusual.
But the fact is, if the Giants flipped the table
and showed up and we're really good, there should be
a lot of surprise. I don't know if you've looked
at any of the odds for win totals, but it's
below five hundred significantly, significantly. I just there's people out
there who say, if the Giants are seven to ten
this year, they did a great job.
Speaker 5 (12:16):
I'm not saying that.
Speaker 1 (12:17):
But they are by far, by far like the question
mark team in the division. So the most fascinating thing
with they showed up and started answering some of those questions.
Speaker 7 (12:24):
Yeah, my biggest question about this year is can Jaden
Daniels do it again?
Speaker 4 (12:28):
You know, he was the dargan last year.
Speaker 7 (12:30):
He had amazing, outstanding highlights, historical highlights, brought his team
to the MG Championship Game. But can he do it again?
Can he avoid the sophomore slump? Now defenses have film,
people understand what he can and can't do. Can he
is he able to replicate that? You know, Is he
gonna fall into the line of like a like a
Baker Mayfield year two slump, RG three year too slump,
(12:51):
Dak you know where they had these year two slumps.
But I feel like I think he's gonna do fine
because the difference is he's gonna be He's gonna he's
more well equipped, kind of like how Burrow, Hurts and
Lamar were with their team. So I think hopefully he
would avoid that. But that's my biggest question. Can he
do it again?
Speaker 2 (13:04):
All right? Kyle said, there's an exclamation point team. I
think I'll follow his lead and go there. Yesterday, Eagles
head coach Nick Sirianni spoke with Colleen Wolfe m Mark
Ross about the working dynamic between the coach and the
executive vice president and general manager Howie Roseman.
Speaker 10 (13:20):
His job is to get the best talent in here
with the right guys. My job's at our job as
coaches is to develop that talent and get them better
at playing football and put them in the right positions
to succeed. But yeah, like what Howie and I have
talked so much, how does he how does this player
fit into the offense? How does this player fit into
the defense, and that's the constant communication. Here's how we
(13:41):
might use this guy. Here's how we would here's what
we see the vision right all.
Speaker 2 (13:46):
Right now, we're going to have a more specific assignment
within the NFC East. If you are going to answer
Howie Roseman in this, I understand, but think outside the box.
Who is the most important person in this division? Right now?
Speaker 7 (13:57):
Will the most important person in this division is Jalen Hurts.
He is He's the best player on the best team
in the entire NFL. And just his his identity, his personality,
his mindset, all these things that he does, like the RPOs,
the quarterbacks think, the deep shout, the physical runs.
Speaker 4 (14:17):
The mental makeup of who he.
Speaker 7 (14:18):
Is is why this Eagles team does so well. I Mean,
people can say, yeah, anyone can play in this offense,
but I don't think so because they don't carry the
same desire, the same mindset of Jalen Hurts. Like if
I were to pick a quarterback to leave my team
from a first of all, from a mental perspective, it's
going to be Jaalen Hurts. Just what he does, he's
able to, you know, keep the team calm. Nick Sirianni's
(14:41):
able to be calm and trust him in any situation.
Speaker 4 (14:43):
So I think he's the most.
Speaker 7 (14:44):
Important player just because he is the quarterback of the
best team in the NFL.
Speaker 11 (14:49):
I love you, Jamie.
Speaker 6 (14:52):
Jamie said not to say Howie Roseman. Okay, that was
my answer, and then Jamie is over. Were trying to
help me out by telling me the assistant general manager Clee.
Speaker 2 (14:59):
I was trying to demand creativity, like, don't answer, how
we come up with something else in mantize whole lot language.
Speaker 4 (15:04):
I answer, okay.
Speaker 6 (15:06):
Yeah, so I love my sister, but I gotta say
Howie Roseman. Okay, that Howard Roseman is the most important
person in an NFC East guys, Like there's a reason
why the Eagles have distanced themselves is because of Howie Rosen.
That and how he's been drafting the past couple of years.
I don't know if we have that graphic, but.
Speaker 11 (15:22):
If we do, please throw it up like the guy
you look at all the guys that he drafted, like
these are the guys that he drafted, but more importantly,
the guys that he signed trading for aj Brown, Sakwon Barkley,
Zach Bond, Like all of these are headline topics headline
players that you don't have a super Bowl if you
don't have something like this.
Speaker 6 (15:40):
How he has been there ever since Andy Reid was there.
He's worked his way up and every single year this
guy just comes to the NFL drafted offseason and he
just creates a masterpiece. I mean, reports out of campus.
Jehan Campbell, their first round linebacker out of Alabama is
playing defensive end for the second team for the second team.
(16:01):
That just goes to show how stacked this roster is.
And so it all has to do with that man,
Holly Roseman, and now he's constructed then and ty Russell.
Speaker 4 (16:10):
So I'm sorry, jam I know you wanted to do.
Speaker 6 (16:12):
I accept sometimes I got to get Leo.
Speaker 4 (16:15):
Yeah, get the layup. So Kyle, that's why I go.
Speaker 1 (16:18):
I was going to say, listen, I was going to
talk about Jade Daniels, but screw and I'm gonna change
my answer to Howie Roseman.
Speaker 4 (16:23):
Now let's go let's talk more.
Speaker 5 (16:24):
How we bring it in here, that's how we do it.
Give me some more, Holley.
Speaker 4 (16:28):
Howie is the most that.
Speaker 1 (16:29):
I had a whole case for Jaydon Daniels that the
Commanders need him to play well. Whereas the Eagles of
Jalen Hurts can play just decent, they can still win.
Speaker 5 (16:35):
But honestly, if.
Speaker 1 (16:36):
You're looking at it from top to bottom, replace any coach,
replace the quarterback like that is the That is the.
Speaker 5 (16:41):
Guy with the chess board.
Speaker 1 (16:42):
I feel like he has one of those war boards
in his office like Kings have where they move their
army across the region with the little pieces, and he
just owns the entire region. An incredible and credible thing
that he did. Remember they got to one Super Bowl
and lost. The fact that he had the hutzpah to
go up and draft Carson Wentz and then to replace
him with Jalen Hurts.
Speaker 5 (17:02):
It's a whole big deal that he's done. I was
going to have a whole thing on Jaydon Daniels, but
I think Howie Roseman is right.
Speaker 4 (17:08):
How Rose It's a Howie Day, Howie Mendel, Howie.
Speaker 2 (17:10):
Long Day is the clown. Friends, Kyle is the world's
devil's advocate. You can't try to get him down an
avenue without him saying, absolutely not, screech on the brakes.
I'm going to hit the U turn and I'm going
to double down on what you are explicitly asking me
not to do, which is like, come.
Speaker 4 (17:27):
Up with.
Speaker 6 (17:29):
There's no better, There's no better feeling on this show
as a rookie on this show to have one of
the vets just put a stamp on what you just said.
Speaker 4 (17:38):
I'm telling you.
Speaker 2 (17:39):
While I agree that he is trying to put a standway,
I also think he's just trying to be annoying because
I'm the one that there, I say suggested not.
Speaker 6 (17:46):
Not too high right, you are assistant general manager.
Speaker 2 (17:49):
He's trying to be creative.
Speaker 7 (17:51):
Being a brother, That's what brothers do.
Speaker 2 (17:54):
We have to be creative and unique. I was just
trying to say, Howie Roseman lay up the layup up
Next on GMFB, I think we're going to talk about
Joe Burrow, but if somebody has a better idea, by
all means, take over the segment and do that. We're
going to talk all things Bengals. Because he stopped Buy
(18:14):
Inside Training Camp Live yesterday, We've got pre season to
talk about Trey Henderson showing up at camp. Plus, Kyle,
what would you like to.
Speaker 1 (18:21):
Discuss coming up live in studio here in New York City?
Eagles General manager Howie Roseman, Joe to talk about segments,
the program, man and the talent. Now, I wish that
was the case, but Brian Dables Giant said, coach.
Speaker 5 (18:36):
Is about to step up to the mike.
Speaker 4 (18:38):
Jamie coming to.
Speaker 5 (18:38):
The light, join us your blood. There you go. Brian
David's got a questions and answers and all that kind
of stuff. I love name, but I love Howie Roseman
even more. Holly Roseman, Holly rose how we date?
Speaker 1 (18:48):
Nope?
Speaker 12 (18:48):
Fund intended right.
Speaker 9 (19:06):
Bengals quarterback Joe Burrow coming off the best season statistically
of his career, but yet another nine and eight records
saw Cincinnati.
Speaker 2 (19:14):
Missing the playoffs for a second straight year at least.
Sat down with our guy Tom Pelliser.
Speaker 9 (19:18):
Talking about where he's at health wise plus his outlook
for this upcoming season.
Speaker 13 (19:24):
Said, yesterday, you feel like you're throwing the ball better
than you have in years. Part of that, I'm sure
is the run of different injuries and last year kind
of re learning to throw the football after the risk.
Speaker 4 (19:33):
But when you.
Speaker 13 (19:33):
Say it, you're throwing it better than you have in years.
Speaker 4 (19:35):
What does that feel like? What does that mean? Number One?
It makes me happy.
Speaker 14 (19:39):
You know, I like being good at my job and
I like performing to.
Speaker 4 (19:42):
The level that I expect from myself. So you know, I'm.
Speaker 14 (19:45):
Excited about that, and these reps are so valuable for me.
You know, you can only get better at this game
by practicing it and getting reps, and that's something I
haven't necessarily had over the last five years really, and
so I'm just gonna keep getting better. I'm only in
year six excited about where I'm at about our offense
is going.
Speaker 4 (20:06):
I'm expecting a big year.
Speaker 13 (20:08):
With that extra time in those extra reps. The things
even that you're looking to fine tune, whether it's mechanically, footwork,
any little things like you're like, hey, I finally actually
have time to kind of address these specific things.
Speaker 14 (20:19):
I'm not sure I would say I have anything specific
like that, but you're you're tweaking with it all throughout practice.
You know, I understand my motion and my body to
a level. Now that you know something doesn't feel right
on a certain throw, I can correct it very quickly.
I feel like I'm really good at getting better in
that way, and so these reps are so valuable for
(20:39):
me to have.
Speaker 13 (20:40):
Trey Hendrickson's not practicing yet, doesn't have the contract yet,
but he is in the building. What does his presence
here mean, even at the time he's not actually on
the field.
Speaker 14 (20:48):
Yeah, he's been great since he got back yesterday. You know,
we haven't been around it too much but twenty four hours.
But it's good to see his face. The intensity that
he brings is very unique, and so when when you
have a guy like that who's been as productive as
he has in the building, it raises the energy levels
a little bit.
Speaker 13 (21:03):
You said early in the off season it was very
very important to get Jamar done, to get Tea done,
to get Trey Hendrickson dead. How do you view your
role as a leader in terms of speaking up at
times of those big picture roster I just think.
Speaker 14 (21:16):
The job of the quarterback is to be a conduit
between ownership, head coach in the locker room, and so
I feel like I have information from the locker room
being down there every day that maybe doesn't always get
relayed upstairs.
Speaker 4 (21:29):
And you know, we have a great relationship.
Speaker 14 (21:32):
With Brown family and I and you know we're in
communication a lot, and so I just think the more
information that I can pass on, the better off we're
gonna be.
Speaker 13 (21:42):
When you guys talk about expectations, internally for this season,
how do you address.
Speaker 14 (21:47):
I mean, it's no secret, but really everybody in the
league wants you know, you want to win your division,
you want to make the playoffs, and you want to win.
Speaker 4 (21:53):
The super Bowl.
Speaker 14 (21:54):
So that's those are our three goals and we're gonna
do whatever we can to get there.
Speaker 13 (21:59):
You obviously were the team by the end of last
season that everybody said, nobody wants to face the Bangles.
Ultimately nobody have to face the Bengals in the playoffs.
What did you learn from how you guys finish that
you're trying to apply every day out here to make
sure you start and kind of pick up where you
left off.
Speaker 14 (22:12):
Every game is so relevant to the standings at the
end of the year. You can't you can't lay an
egg early in the year and you know, expect it
to be okay and you have to attack every day
like you're trying to win the Super Bowl. And that's
that's what we're trying to do. So, you know, I
think we're doing the right things this time of year
to try to correct those slow starts. And you know,
(22:34):
I think we're gonna be playing in the preseason games,
so we're not sure, how much have But we'll have
those discussions next week, and I think that would be
valuable too.
Speaker 13 (22:40):
How much do those would those reps mean in the preseason,
especially for you given shit challenges you've had to get
those repasts.
Speaker 14 (22:46):
Yeah, for me, I think it's more valuable than any
other position. You know, offensive defensive line receivers dvs. They're
pretty much live every day in practice, pass rush, run blocking,
covered skills. But for me, you know, a big part
of my game is manipulating the right and working in
the pocket and making plays with my legs outside of
(23:08):
the pocket, and that's just not really something that you
can rep in practice.
Speaker 4 (23:12):
You know, the d line is is it trying to
sack you?
Speaker 14 (23:15):
So the pocket movement is always a little different in practicing,
and this in the games, you know, they're getting to
about three feet and they're stopping, whereas in the game
they're gonna keep trying to get there, and you know,
you can have a lot more room to work in
those pockets. So you know, those those game reps will
be valued Before me, like you.
Speaker 13 (23:31):
Said, these are long days right now, you got to
put in a ton of work. Is any part of
this fun? Is there any part of this seat, like
you enjoyed you like walking out on the field and
getting those reps.
Speaker 14 (23:39):
I am enjoying it this year. You know, it's at
I'm having a lot of fun. Getting better, being with
the guys. Getting better is a really good feeling. And
so when I'm performing the way I'm performing right now
and not at the level that I'm happy with, and
I can feel myself getting better every day, that's that's
what's fun.
Speaker 4 (23:57):
It's just a big picture.
Speaker 13 (23:58):
What if anything gives you optimism, But this iteration, there's
no two teams that are the same. Every year, there's
new guys. Makes you optimistic about the twenty twenty five banks.
Speaker 14 (24:06):
There's just an energy in that building right now that
is palpable. And maybe I say that every year. I
can't remember, you know, it feels different this year.
Speaker 4 (24:13):
It does.
Speaker 14 (24:15):
The energy and the positive tension and everything that we're
feeling in there right now is something that I think
maybe I haven't quite felt in the last couple of years.
Speaker 2 (24:27):
All Right, We're going to see if that pays off.
Speaker 9 (24:28):
And also been so cool getting behind the scenes on
hard knocks, seeing the moment Joe Burrow learned they're not
in the playoffs number nine, hoping to change their outcome
come this season.
Speaker 2 (24:38):
There's some topics in the off season where you could
classify it as a lot to be said about nothing,
But there's something there in Miami with the Dolphins and
their quarterback and their wide receiver that we do need
to know more about. Today, Dolphins head coach Mike McDaniel
address the fluid relationship between Two, a tongue of Iloa,
and Tyreek Hill after Tua called it a work in progress.
Speaker 8 (25:00):
Well, I'm seeing the daily investment I'm seeing. I think
it's a It's a well known fact that you know,
Two is the leader of our our our team in
the locker room as the franchise quarterback, and I think
there's a lot to be said about a leader saying
the hard things. I think there's a lot to be
(25:20):
said about Reek and and how how clear they've been
towards each other so that these conversations that you can
say these things and call a spade a spade. I
see that as grown man, grown man's stuff. He was
watching grown man's stuff.
Speaker 4 (25:36):
That is real.
Speaker 8 (25:37):
That relationships aren't created in a vacuum of dandy lions
and daisies, relationships, real ones, ones that matter you.
Speaker 4 (25:51):
You go through a.
Speaker 8 (25:52):
Process of earning and delivering on trust. So what I've
seen is it's important. It's important to the players on
this team that they are connected to each other, both
on the football field and off And when you have
people going in that direction and focused on that that
(26:13):
there's only good things that can come from that. So
so far, so good. I see guys delivering on their
words with actions.
Speaker 2 (26:22):
Okay, So now that we understand what Mike McDaniel thinks
of the makeup of the relationship between quarterback and wide
receiver man Tai you know to him super well, So
how do you interpret what the head coach you said?
Speaker 6 (26:33):
Well, I like Howsua has been going about it. You know,
he's been saying what he needed to say in front
of the camera, and I'm sure and I'm positive that
he's saying the things that he needs to say to
his brother Tyrek Hill in the locker room.
Speaker 4 (26:44):
And I'm I think it's going to be great. I
think it's gonna be fine.
Speaker 6 (26:47):
The game of football is nice when one in eleven
or ten or whoever is catching the balls on the
same page. So we want to see that for years
to come, and it's going to start with the stuff
that happens off the football field. And so I'm very
very confident and I like where it's going.
Speaker 7 (27:03):
Well, I mean, let's just go win games.
Speaker 2 (27:08):
You don't want to there's nothing there you go no.
Speaker 7 (27:10):
I mean it's been they haven't won a playoff game
in twenty five years. Like this has been all kinds
of like he got there, did with electric and then
weren't electric. There's been drama off season here. You hear
you know Rahie Moster, who's upset saying stuff. It's just like,
I don't know, I'm kind of over it. I'm just
ready to just go win games, Miami. Let's just go
win games.
Speaker 1 (27:30):
Well, August first, we got another six weeks of talking
about this stuff, and then we'll see if they win games.
Speaker 5 (27:37):
I hear you, Mike McDaniel just.
Speaker 1 (27:39):
Spilt about ten thousand words trying to say that. You know,
Tua and Tyreek are doing just fine. Me think thou
doct protests too much. I'm hearing about their relationship is
a quote work in progress.
Speaker 5 (27:50):
They've played together for three years.
Speaker 1 (27:52):
What I'm saying Aaron Rodgers and DK Metcalf's relationship is
a work in progress.
Speaker 5 (27:57):
They just met.
Speaker 1 (27:58):
These two have played together since twenty twenty two. That's
a little bit weird, guys. I mean, like, I don't
think it's great. I don't think that it is a
wonderful relationship. I don't think Tyreek is very happy. I
don't think two is very happy. Listen, I can't believe
Tyreek is still on the team. I thought at the
end of last year, when they lose and he says
what he says, I think the Tyreek has run its
course here in Miami. I think that they'll trade him.
(28:19):
It'll be somewhere else, and God bless him still there.
And remember when he joined Miami, he was bowing.
Speaker 5 (28:24):
Up to us. Most accurate past I've ever played with. Amazing.
I would love to hear some of that now.
Speaker 1 (28:29):
But when we are talking about dandelions and daisies and
we're working on things and getting to know each other,
they've played together for three years already, we should be
well past that. I don't know, how's your feeling about
Miami right now?
Speaker 5 (28:43):
In general?
Speaker 1 (28:44):
It's early, I know, but like, I don't know. I'm
just tense when I think about the Dolphins. I don't
like the aura coming from them, whatever word you want
to use, the energy, the headlines, the body language, just
I'm nervous about the dolphins right now.
Speaker 5 (28:56):
We'll see what happens over the next month.
Speaker 2 (28:57):
A couple of observations about Mike McDaniel. While we are
used to the head coach of the Dolphins standing up
there and using a thousand word essays to explain a
very simple situation, I do think that he almost overdid
it to Kyle's point on this specific topic, because this
feels like your friend that sits down and is just
constantly trying to justify staying in a relationship that just
(29:19):
doesn't feel right. And the fact that he called it
at the beginning, if you remember back, he called it,
they're putting in a daily investment into the relationship. If
you're that friend sitting across the coffee shop, you're like,
it feels like you're putting a lot of effort in
here for something. Are we getting the fruition out of this? Secondly,
to say that relationships aren't built in a vacuum of
dandelions and daisies, you could have said daisies and roses. Mike,
(29:41):
you picked a weed as the other example, the dandelion's
a weed. Oftentimes it's like an invasive plant that's growing
in places that you don't want it to be. Kyle,
I mean the dandelion selection to me was very triggering
because at this point, what are we looking at then,
and who is the weed?
Speaker 1 (29:57):
Well, the weed culture has changed dramatically. We know that, Jamie,
but I mean.
Speaker 4 (30:01):
He's on the sideline doing it.
Speaker 5 (30:02):
Dramatically, change and eyes like it used to be. It's all.
It does a lot of good for a lot of people.
Speaker 4 (30:07):
We know that.
Speaker 1 (30:08):
But listen, dandelion's daisy's every rose has its thorn. We'll
see what the relationship is. It's like, we tend to
stay positive on the show. We try, we really do.
But if we say we love all thirty two teams
this year, it's nonsense. It's my opic. Nobody believes that.
If you were to pick a week where we have
our first story about Tyreek in Tua maybe not getting along,
(30:28):
it would probably go with the under I'm trying to
stay positive, but this is a crazy segment.
Speaker 2 (30:33):
I love you, Okay, then let's get out of it.
Mortgod Morning Football. When we come back, we're going to
play a game called GMFB Camp.
Speaker 7 (30:40):
I guess I don't want that dynistry, and I don't
know what that is.
Speaker 15 (30:44):
This is not even what I would saying whatsoever.
Speaker 2 (31:01):
Football Inside Training Camp Live has been happening all week
and it still continues today at noon Eastern on NFL Network.
But this here is camp GMFB. Okay, we have compiled
some of our favorite sound and sites from training camp
thus far, and we're going to start with Ben Johnson,
who said yesterday that it was going to be the
(31:22):
longest day of practice and it was going to determine
who's ready to stay and work versus who is not ready.
Speaker 4 (31:28):
To do that.
Speaker 16 (31:30):
Really excited about today we should be our longest practice
yet and told the team last night this is where
we'll get a great chance to vow just who's here
to survive through training camp and who's really wanting to
thrive and become king of the mountains.
Speaker 4 (31:44):
So we'll see who's out there to compete. It'll be long,
it'll be hard.
Speaker 2 (31:50):
All right. So that's Ben Johnson just saying, come on,
who's here to stay and who's here to put the
work in. So here's the question. We're looking for the
King of the NFC North. And if we are going
to apply this and make a parallel to a medieval
series on Televison Medieval, who do we think the king
of the NFC North would be?
Speaker 1 (32:08):
Kyle Well, if we were doing this segment in twenty nineteen,
if we were just playing this era of football in
twenty nineteen, we would do so many Game of Throne
segments about Dan Campbell.
Speaker 5 (32:17):
We would do it over and over and over, because
he's just perfect. He's everybody.
Speaker 1 (32:21):
He's the Hound, He's the Mountain, his Barathian, his ned Stark.
He's just all of those things, the beard, the shoulders.
He also appears like he can hang with the free
folk north of the Wall. He is everything those series
are all about. And he shows up on the battlefield
and wins and wins and screams and pumps his fifth.
Speaker 5 (32:40):
That's the kind of guy I'm looking for on the wall.
Speaker 4 (32:42):
It's my guy. What do you guys? I like that?
Speaker 6 (32:43):
I like that KB Now I took instead of Game
of Thrones, I went Vikings. I Medieval took the Vikings
and I looked at it. I looked at Dan Campbell.
He's more about Bejor on Ironsight, like that guy who's
he fears nothing, he's amazing in war and all of
that stuff. But the guy, when I say king, when
you talk about war, it has there's some level of
deception in there. So I had to go with Brian
(33:04):
flora Is in that defense slow where you're looking at
a defensive coordinator that uses deception everywhere and makes your
enemy think that you're in one place when you're actually
in the other, and that's how you win wars like
you obviously want to send somebody like Dan Campbell and
there the Bjorn to kind of penetrate the forces or
the gates, whatever you want to call it, but you
have to have the brains behind it.
Speaker 4 (33:22):
With Brian flora Is in that defense. So if I'm
looking at.
Speaker 6 (33:25):
The king of the NFC North and that reference to
the Vikings, that's got to be Brian Flores in the
Minnesota Vikings, the medieval meddler.
Speaker 2 (33:32):
You will I will well if.
Speaker 7 (33:34):
This were Meetingivsaga, I would have the kick in the
North is Jared Goff.
Speaker 4 (33:37):
Jared Goff. He is the one that was doubted, the
one that was.
Speaker 17 (33:41):
Dismissed, the one that was sent far north to the
ox Wall, the one that was exile from the House
of Rams, the one who had to go to the
icy wall in Detroit where hope had long frozen over.
Speaker 7 (33:54):
He came back there like Johnson Noo. He did not
ever complain, He did not crown himself. He did nothing
to ever put his head down. He went to work.
He ignited the fans, he ignited the culture, he ignited
the people, and eventually took over and became king over
north So Jared Goff, He's the man that I think
is the kingdom north Well.
Speaker 2 (34:14):
I was worried about your body language in this segment.
I asked the question and I was like, oh, man,
is Well going to have one with a medieval parallel
like you were? You were locked and loaded with that one. Perfect.
Speaker 4 (34:25):
That's what I gotten the cup.
Speaker 2 (34:26):
Sorry, first week it is Friday. First week of camp
is almost in the books. And Jayden Daniels was asked
about how he's feeling after one week into his second.
Speaker 18 (34:36):
Season and it has only been a week of camp. Has
only been a week of camp, yehez, it felt like
three weeks.
Speaker 4 (34:47):
I don't know.
Speaker 2 (34:48):
He's old enough like that, like that's got thirty and over. Okay,
I can't say geesh, what's that one thing in your
life that really doesn't take that long but it feels
like it takes forever.
Speaker 6 (35:01):
Well, I got to say that, you know, as as
a player, camp is camp fell, I guess forever I got,
But as a TV.
Speaker 4 (35:06):
Personality and preseason feels like it's forever. Guys, I used
to be four games, Now it's three.
Speaker 6 (35:12):
It takes forever, Like I can't wait to get to
game one, Like I'm gonna enjoy watching all of these
preseason games, but come on, guys, like Dallas versus Philadelphia
in Philly, like we're gonna be there like that.
Speaker 4 (35:22):
It's it's about a month away, but it's it's still
so far out there.
Speaker 6 (35:26):
So if I got to say something that is not
very far away but it seems like it's far away,
it's got.
Speaker 4 (35:31):
To be the preseason heading into week one. So that's
that's it for me.
Speaker 7 (35:35):
Yes, all of us are on television, so we all travel,
you know, pretty often, and so you just imagine, right
the plane lands, you start taxing to the gate, You're like, okay.
Speaker 4 (35:44):
We're there.
Speaker 7 (35:44):
You start texting whoever's picking you up from the airport.
They tell you the baggage claim and then once you
get there, there's that wonderful lady or man who is
open to moving the jet bridge to connect to the plane.
And it might take thirty minutes, is what it feels like.
You're just like I used in the window, and I'm ready.
I'm ready to get out.
Speaker 4 (36:03):
Get out. You can't because the jet bridge isn't there,
and you're waiting, and you waiting, and then.
Speaker 2 (36:07):
She overshoots and back, and then you're waiting.
Speaker 5 (36:11):
Yeah, the jet bridge.
Speaker 7 (36:12):
For me, I swear it takes like thirty minutes just
for that to happen.
Speaker 4 (36:16):
I want to get up my.
Speaker 2 (36:17):
Sid it's probably three. It's a good one.
Speaker 4 (36:19):
It's go one. Yeah.
Speaker 1 (36:20):
Then you finally get off and you run into the
wheelchair brigade stick.
Speaker 5 (36:24):
I'm waiting right there.
Speaker 4 (36:27):
It's really.
Speaker 1 (36:30):
What's one thing that doesn't take long but feels like forever.
Speaker 4 (36:33):
I don't know.
Speaker 1 (36:34):
You ever try to get through a sea block on
the Mike McDaniel Dolphins.
Speaker 4 (36:37):
Never mind that.
Speaker 1 (36:38):
Cooking your kid's dinner it drives me crazy. I have
I have three minutes to get them some food before
we leave, and in our freezer we have you know,
sometimes we have like frozen chicken fingers or fish sticks
or something. You look at the instructions on this thing
and it says, set the oven to four hundred and
twenty degrees for and then twenty to twenty two minutes.
Twenty two minutes to make my kids dinner. What kind
(36:58):
of French laundry restaurant do you think this is? I
don't have that time. You see Michelin stars in that wall,
and then you're like, well, I'll just microwave. It says
on the bag, not recommended microwave. Well, I recommend you
give me a quicker way to make these chicken patties,
sir mister Purdue.
Speaker 5 (37:12):
Hey, kids have got to eat and go to baseball.
It's crazy. It takes forever. I don't like it.
Speaker 2 (37:16):
What kind of fancy kids food are you eating? Kile
that it's not recommended to.
Speaker 5 (37:20):
Microwave, it says it on there.
Speaker 1 (37:22):
And then I'm like, well, is it going to be harmful?
Is it going to taste terrible? I think maybe I'll
just roll the dice in microwave. I don't have time
to preheat. And then twenty two it's fish sticks.
Speaker 4 (37:30):
We gotta go winen out that right.
Speaker 2 (37:34):
It sneaks up on you, what's one thing that doesn't
take long. I'll go the parenting angle as well. I
discovered this summer that I am really really good at
getting my kids places on time. I am really really
bad at picking them up on time. What takes me
forever is the distance between my house and picking them
up and thinking that it's eight minutes, but in my
marrid it's eight minutes, but really it's fifteen. And I
am just buzzing down these avenues because of course I
(37:56):
have that kid who's like the last one I camp
next day and next to the counselor waiting to get
picked up, and I'm like, I'm sorry. I thought this
was going to go faster, but it actually took four
ever for me to get here. Like why would the
underestimation and the undershoot of the kid pick up time?
Speaker 4 (38:09):
All? Right?
Speaker 2 (38:10):
Sometimes you just don't know how long it's going to
take you to get places to get your kids.
Speaker 7 (38:14):
Got a few years for the national anthem, the National
anthetics forever too.
Speaker 4 (38:16):
When you're playing the national anthem, it feels like thirty minutes.
Speaker 2 (38:19):
God bless America.
Speaker 4 (38:23):
Gates.
Speaker 10 (38:23):
You had more touchdowns than any tied end in NFL
history here.
Speaker 4 (38:26):
An altaman working gears rear.
Speaker 3 (38:28):
Off Berlin Sharp was not to be the night.
Speaker 5 (38:30):
Eric Allen has an I Anta Fame rain team woman
now and I kept it on a wheel hand Gate
steamrolled his way in the dinners took a player.
Speaker 8 (38:46):
Telephion is.
Speaker 3 (38:50):
Out.
Speaker 15 (38:50):
Tyler Carp, Oh my goodness.
Speaker 4 (38:53):
I'll tell you want to play there?
Speaker 3 (38:54):
My shirt ready to game, Parlett Sharp.
Speaker 2 (39:00):
Something to look forward to this weekend. You can watch
the twenty twenty five Pro Football Hall of Fame and
try and ceremony as coverage gets underway tomorrow neon Eastern
on NFL Network. We talked a couple times this week
about analysis of media members as it pertains like Madden
Madden Scores, and I have an observation that I've made
after watching one full week of Insign training camp live,
which by the way, starts to New Eastern on NFL Network.
(39:23):
It's seven hours of live coverage. There is an urgency
when it comes to the stars in the league that
when you ask for an interview with them, you are
ready waiting on baited breath for them to show up
to your camera crew with your mic that's plugged in
and you have to be here drop everything. The quarterbacks
over there rush over to get them. I saw a
couple of these happen this weekend. Kimmy checks Head and
(39:44):
Patrick Mahomes and Steve Smith Senr. They're is Siriani with
Colleen Wolf of Mark Ross, like the Eagles the Chiefs,
They're like, here's your guy, you come to us and
talk to him. Then there's when Kyle Brandt shows up
to town and you get a seated, loungey look and
interview with Aaron Rodgers. Kyle, can you speak to the
fact that you had some like layback in your chair
(40:04):
situation because everyone else is absolutely dropping on hands and knees,
prepared to interview the stars, and then you're showing up
in a Jerome Bettis Jersey, just shooting the breeze with Rogers.
Speaker 1 (40:13):
I wish there was just a wider shot so you
can see my golf cart that I got transported around
in fantastic.
Speaker 5 (40:18):
There's a fan blowing up on me.
Speaker 1 (40:20):
We had snacks, we had treats, nothing but first class
in the trop Pennsylvany.
Speaker 5 (40:24):
It's not me, it's the Steelers trust.
Speaker 2 (40:25):
Oh it is.
Speaker 4 (40:26):
Wow.
Speaker 2 (40:27):
You're so casual and you're so welcome inside trading Camp Live.
