Good Morning Football is the production of the NFL in
partnership with iHeartRadio.
Speaker 2 (00:10):
Welcome to Good Morning Football, presented by TGIF. Everybody a
couple of classic GMFP segments for you on the final
day of the work week. Jamie eard All, Mantai Tao,
Kyle Brandt, this was a dude.
Speaker 3 (00:21):
We got no cap.
Speaker 2 (00:22):
We have an actual dude who plays where the Brown's
coming on and Grant delphic Kyle.
Speaker 1 (00:26):
It's good little hour, it really is. And people in
Western New York excited for the Bills season. This was
the dude is when we look back on guys some
people have forgotten about. This is one of the great
dudes of the Bills in the nineties. You're going to
love this guy, and I bet a lot of you
will remember him. Plus we got all kinds of hats
like Dami you mentioned. Let's get after it. It's the last
hour on a Friday. It's the best hour of the week.
It's Good Morning Football now.
Speaker 2 (01:01):
Welcome to Good Morning Football presented by Sofa. Kyle man T. Jamie,
we got no cap on the table. We are going
to welcome in somebody in a second, but I need
that Titans hatch so I can like, okay, great, help
me out here. Thank you somebody. One of our esteem
stage manager, Puma, was like, make sure we place the
hats near where you can reach them.
Speaker 3 (01:20):
And we're all like, no, we like to scramble.
Speaker 2 (01:22):
For those hats. We like to scramble over those suckers.
We like to create chaos. But I also like to
make sure we understand the headline with which we are
going to reference to. Mike Herrofolo or NFL Network League
insider joining us this morning, and I hope my first
questions about the Titans. Yeah, they're taking on the Falcons
tonight seven pm Eastern on NFL Network. Are we going
to see the number one overall pick quarterbacking in that
game tonight?
Speaker 4 (01:41):
Mike, Yes, we are, no cap Jamie Mike.
Speaker 1 (01:50):
Cook.
Speaker 4 (01:50):
Mike, a second start for the Tennessee Titans, led a
touchdown drive last week, but Brian Callahan saying he hasn't
arrived yet.
Speaker 1 (02:00):
Well, I would hope.
Speaker 4 (02:01):
It's still the preseason of his rookie year. We're probably
gonna be saying that throughout his rookie year. But if
you see some impressive moments, that's a good thing. And
there's been a lot of positivity out of the Titans.
I remember Kyle after Camboard was drafted saying, this is
the most overlooked first overall pick that we've ever had,
and given him some love then. And I still think
he's somewhat overlooked, but not in Tennessee. They like what
(02:21):
they have seen. They want to see it again on
the field. So we shall see speaking them on the field.
How about this one preseason Herbo. We've never seen this before.
There was no preseason when Justin Herbert was drafted back
in twenty twenty, so he didn't play, and then didn't
play the last three years. His first career preseason starts
coming tomorrow against the Rams. Herbert requested to play in
(02:42):
the preseason. Wanted to get some reps on the field
in the live game before the season. A bunch of
other guys as well, so Justin Herbert to make his
first career preseason start.
Speaker 1 (02:53):
And then there's the Browns.
Speaker 4 (02:54):
I used to cover a game with the Giants and
Jets when MetLife Stadium first open.
Speaker 1 (02:58):
They called it the Snoopy Bowl. It was a preseason game.
Speaker 4 (03:01):
This is going to be maybe the Snoop Bowl New
Huntley because there's so many injuries with the Browns that
we might see Huntley out there more than anybody else.
Dylan Gabriel. We just saw him throw it past the rookie.
He did work his way back into team drills this week,
and if everything keeps pointing in the right direction with
his hamstring, we will see him out there, but expect
to see a bunch of Snoop Puntley, who had to
(03:22):
be a quick study upon arriving there in Cleveland. Kevin
Stefanski comfortable with him, but as forshe door Sanders not
going to see him out there. We'll see if he
can get back next week and get some time in
the third preseason game. But the Browns a lot of
quarterbacks shuffling this summer because of all these injuries. Jamie
except the Flacco, old guy perfect.
Speaker 2 (03:41):
Great, good for him keeping the body right. If you
are doesn't matter what age you are. Way to go,
Joe Flacco, Mike Gee, thank you very much. As we
started a segment, we now show you our messy room.
If you will, Mom will clean up later. It's called
no cap. We got thirty two helps.
Speaker 1 (03:55):
Oh the guys hated.
Speaker 2 (04:01):
That look too perfect for Kyle.
Speaker 1 (04:07):
We're going to punch me in the commercial. I'm mad,
no cap, guys.
Speaker 3 (04:11):
I was like, the exercise should be Kyle.
Speaker 2 (04:12):
We should grab one and have to try to make
a stance for it instead of finding it.
Speaker 1 (04:16):
Did you guys? Is as if they saw someone get
hit by a car. It's just hatscott. We're gonna get that.
We're so mad. Whoa wow?
Speaker 2 (04:27):
All right, back to our perfect putsi. He's gonna get
on the table. I'm so distraught, I can't even speak.
It's no cap we have if it doesn't look like
it's thirty two hats on this table in front of me,
every single team represented there. There's three questions and anty,
did you know Kyle has a really big head because
(04:48):
when he grabs these caps he has to unsnap the back.
Speaker 1 (04:51):
Yeahmy's not talking symbolically either. I hope she's talking actually physically,
like I have a large cranium.
Speaker 2 (04:57):
She just this is the first time you two are
in studio together. I feel like that was overholoked yesterday
with seth rollins and stuff like.
Speaker 3 (05:03):
Yet there's some things about Kyle that like we want
to make sure.
Speaker 1 (05:05):
We review, we're figuring it out. I like that's right
here though, ye like fun, Let's go have a large hut.
Speaker 2 (05:10):
Last week Shadur Sanders stole the show in week one
of the preseason. So please grab the cap of the
team who has the quarterback that we are going to
be talking about on Monday morning like we did Shador Manti.
Speaker 1 (05:22):
That says me, fine, look at their boom. Sometimes it's
a quick Grabo's true. All right, guys, come on, I
was going for that one. Let's let's not get a
twisted here, guys. We just talked about him.
Speaker 5 (05:32):
We're going to talk about him again, right because I mean,
it doesn't matter who's playing. I mean, we talk about
the guys that's not playing more than the guys who's playing.
Speaker 1 (05:38):
So if it is Tyler Huntley, ball out.
Speaker 5 (05:40):
Bro If it isn't Tyler Huntley and it's and it's Dylan.
Speaker 1 (05:43):
Gabriel, ball out. But regardless, there's.
Speaker 5 (05:45):
Going to be a narrative on Monday when we come
back as to what it means for Shudor that's sure
to play this week if it doesn't play, this does
that look like in the whole equation called the Cleveland
Browns quarterback Room? So I think that the quarterback or
the quarterbacks we'll be talking about, is going to come
out of this tea.
Speaker 1 (06:00):
You go it all? What do you go?
Speaker 2 (06:01):
It wasn't just enough for JJ McCarthy last It wasn't
enough of whatever people wanted to see from him. A
lot of people, I think myself included. I said it
on the show. He is the most intriguing player in
the NFC North, the one that will have actually the
biggest predictor of outcome for a team. And this is
a quarterback that has never played a snap in the
regular season. The one series last week was fascinating because
(06:24):
while he had a couple of arrant throws that lofted.
Speaker 3 (06:27):
I thought the timing was on.
Speaker 2 (06:28):
So you can almost like pick and choose depending on
your initial.
Speaker 3 (06:31):
Judgment of JJ McCarthy.
Speaker 2 (06:32):
You got to wrap your opinion of his one series
for the Vikings in a little cake mold if you will,
of like, no, I think it went great or I
think it went terribly. We need to see more, and frankly,
I don't know if it's going to go great or terribly,
but we will be talking about it a lot on
money because I think it will be a good definition
of it.
Speaker 1 (06:49):
I'm going back to go on, well, this is too interesting.
What's going on here? It's hold on, there's still like
a cardboard thing in here. I gotta eat all the
help I can get. I got to get all the
cargo off the plane. I imagine how interesting it would
be this weekend. That's how interesting, how reactive? What if
Dylan Gabriel plays and he's excellent. What if he goes
(07:09):
and throws his own two touchdowns? What if he looks
the part? There's nothing I would like more, because it's
just going to put the media in some sort of
pretzel about what do we do? We thought Shador looked great,
but this guy looked really good too, And they spent
much more valuable draft capital on Gabriel than they did
on Sanders. But he doesn't have the internet legions supporting him,
and in so many ways, he's this guy who's completely
(07:32):
forgotten about. I can't imagine how difficult this training cap
must be for Dylan Gabriel. Not only is he up
against so many forces that many rookies are not up
against in terms of attention and median prestige, then he
gets injured and he's fighting for this role and everyone's
talking about me. He's just trying to find his way
in the NFL. There's nothing I would like more than
for Dylan Gabriel out of Oregon to come and show
up and just fall and just be like, dude, announce
(07:54):
yourself this weekend. It's not all about that guy who's
behind you or the forty year old in front of you.
What a weird world. Dylan Gabriel must live in between
the ears. If you can just go out and play
good football, I would have so much respect for it.
Speaker 2 (08:05):
Go get him, man, Kyle, you oftentimes adopt pound puppy teams.
Is Dylan Gabriel pound puppy quarterback?
Speaker 1 (08:10):
You might be? Yeah? I mean, I just it's for
him to slay the dragons that have been put around
him and at some point be the starting quarterback for
the Cleveland Browns just because he earned it. That would
be a really cool story. Really cool. I mean should
door would be cool too? Yeah, but this don't give
Dylan Gabrie a little credit. If he comes out and
plays well, all right, letus there's a lot of stories
come out.
Speaker 3 (08:28):
Yeah, totally, totally.
Speaker 2 (08:29):
There was quite the story we had unfold right here
on GMFB over the last one hundred hours or so.
We were really concerned about Kyle when he showed up
to the show on Wednesday with arm in sling to
fly across country. Have that arm us look who terrible
surprise us all, including our friend of the show, WW
superstar seth Rawlins.
Speaker 3 (08:47):
Kyle wasn't hurt.
Speaker 2 (08:48):
He took to the spychometer and he took a championship
home with him.
Speaker 1 (08:52):
Check it out already written my pants what number?
Speaker 6 (09:07):
No, no, no, no.
Speaker 1 (09:31):
Sure house, I wave you know what they really A
great reaction would have been if in that celebration I
injured my shoulder. I almost wish I could have committed
(09:54):
and done that like it would have been the Black Swan.
I would have danced the perfect ballet, but thankfully my
shoulders fine. Imagine if I blew out my shoulder celebrating
that I didn't have an injured show, irony of it all?
Would I really do?
Speaker 3 (10:09):
I do believe we didn't think of that in advanced.
Speaker 1 (10:10):
Well you guys would have believe me. I did. I
should have done that. I should have intentionally injured Wolf.
Speaker 3 (10:17):
I know good have an X ray machine next to
the spike.
Speaker 1 (10:23):
I regret that not injuring myself.
Speaker 2 (10:24):
There's less screaming here today, but that doesn't mean that
people aren't going to be screaming about certain teams.
Speaker 3 (10:29):
In twenty twenty five.
Speaker 2 (10:30):
You have to grab find the cap, No, no longer grabbing.
Find the cap on the team that you think will
shock the world the way you did yesterday with your
rules of the century two point zero.
Speaker 1 (10:39):
The season will shock seen these questions? Oh great, Well, so.
Speaker 2 (10:42):
The question is find the cap of the team that
you think will shock the world the way you did.
Speaker 3 (10:46):
The spikeroo meter.
Speaker 1 (10:46):
Yeah, go ahead, and guys, I'm big on this, taking
your hat No no, no, I said, damn because this
is a hard question. Yeah, they'll go do do Patriots?
I like? I like the Patriots? Okay, after the Week.
Speaker 5 (10:58):
One preseason game, to see Trevon Henderson, their rookie crib
the opening kickoff for a touchdown. We didn't see a
lot of Will Campbell highlights, but the guy who was
pancaking people like everywhere down in the field, ten yards
down the field on a toss, he was doing so
many great things. I think that the Spellane and Ls,
those two inside linebackers for them, they embody what coach
(11:20):
is trying to do over there. Coach crab was trying
to do over there for the Patriots. So I really
like this team. Watch out for them. They're in a
really tough, tough division, but I think they'll shock the world.
Speaker 1 (11:29):
I'm in just sharing twenty twenty five. What do you got?
Speaker 2 (11:32):
I always said that, you know, Will Campbell, that's my
guy right there. I've seen no I have a Seahawks
at Seattle Seahawks. Kyle, you've kind of led everybody to
the water on this one.
Speaker 3 (11:42):
But it's the Seattle Seahawks.
Speaker 2 (11:44):
I feel like, are the NFC's version of us not
talking about cam Ward or something?
Speaker 3 (11:47):
Like they have a.
Speaker 2 (11:48):
Second year head coach who is a prolific defensive coordinator
with Baltimore. Like, why we're not paying more attention to
Mike McDonald.
Speaker 3 (11:54):
Is beyond me.
Speaker 2 (11:56):
They finished ten and seven last season, they were right there,
and they have Sam Donald now, and anyone who wants
to continue to deny what Sam Donald could be as
a former high first round pick with the New York Jets,
I don't care the fact that Sam Donald has been
for sixteen played for sixteen different organizations.
Speaker 3 (12:12):
In fact, I enjoy that about him.
Speaker 2 (12:14):
He has a mass an immense amount of experience knowledge.
Speaker 3 (12:17):
It's like he's got scar.
Speaker 2 (12:18):
Tissue emotionally and physically. He's a good quarterback and he
showed us that last year with Kevin O'Connell and the
Minnesota Viking.
Speaker 3 (12:24):
So this would be a shock the world.
Speaker 2 (12:26):
Because I'm just not convinced that the forty nine ers
would be.
Speaker 3 (12:28):
That second team in the NFC West.
Speaker 2 (12:30):
And if things don't go well for Stafford, look out
for the Seahawks.
Speaker 1 (12:33):
Yeah. And I think the Seahawks are a media study too. Yeah,
there's something about them that that doesn't have the sex
and this factor, let's call it what it is. You're
not going to turn on ESPN and Ceeahawks talk. You're
not going to turn on our show and see very
much Seahawks talk. And if this is not the Lob
and Russell, Wilson and Pete back in the day, their
most interesting player from a media perspective is now a
(12:53):
receiver for the Steelers, Dk Metcalf. They have Sam Donald
who is not sexy, like McDonald, who's not sex It's
just there's not a lot of talk about them, and
yet this is a football show. They won ten games
a year ago with the new head coach, and they
have some really good players. They're going to be a factor.
Whether it resonates in media or not. Who really cares
to that point?
Speaker 3 (13:11):
Oh ye, get the cardboards.
Speaker 1 (13:15):
This this hat, you can't miss. This is teal Now.
I've been crushing on the Panthers like I've just I've
been eyeing them from across study hall. I'm passing them
a note. They made eye contact with me. I kind
of flushed, like, I like what the Panthers are going on.
The question is at the bottom of the screen, define
shock the world. The Panthers gonna win the Super Bowl?
I don't think so. I don't think I win the South.
I don't know. I think the Panthers are gonna win
(13:35):
games this year. I think the Panthers are going to
be a factor. I like how they ended last year,
and I like the coach, I like the quarterback, I
like the additions, and I think that the NFC South
as much as we like Tampa. And everyone's like, God,
there's a factor right now with the Falcons where everyone's
freaking out about the Falcons. They have very good vibes
coming out of Falcons Camp, very good. The fantasy community
loves them. Oh, it's all beigeon this. It's like, do
(13:56):
I go back and draft Pits again? Ten X books
to part there's a lot of love the Falcons. But
never mind that. I like the Panthers, not based on
vibes from training camp, based on the last time we
saw them play real games, which was at the end
of last season, and they looked just the part of
that team that makes the proverbial jump. Would it shock
the world if the Panthers were eight and nine? Is
that qualified? I'm not going to split hairs on it.
(14:18):
I'm going to say the Panthers are going to be
a winning team this year, and that's my answer. I
like that.
Speaker 2 (14:22):
One of those teams that you referenced was Panthers Eagles
and Bryce hung around last year.
Speaker 1 (14:26):
He should have beat them. They had their tough at
the goal line was right there. They were going to
slay that dragon. No one could beat the Eagle by far,
the best team.
Speaker 2 (14:34):
In the Yeah, and they hung with the Chiefs as well.
Eagles guard. Speaking of the Eagles, Eagles guard Landed Dickerson.
Dickerson was back on the field at Eagles Grounds joint
practice after undergoing a knee procedure, but he came burying
gifts for both teams.
Speaker 3 (14:47):
That is a cooler of beer.
Speaker 1 (14:49):
The bulls back in town.
Speaker 2 (14:50):
That is a soft cooozy if you will, filled with
beer and they were chilled to perfection.
Speaker 3 (14:56):
It's fantastic.
Speaker 2 (14:57):
Well done, Land and find the cap, grab the cap
of the team who's practice that you would like to attend,
and bring said cooler of beer.
Speaker 3 (15:05):
I guess, cooler of what have you?
Speaker 2 (15:07):
Kyle?
Speaker 1 (15:07):
Can I wear thirty two hats at one time? Because
that's what I want to do right now? Put them
all on, we stack them up. Man, tare you go?
Come on? You want me to go?
Speaker 6 (15:16):
Brother?
Speaker 1 (15:16):
Yeah? I want all right, brother, We're attending this training
camp with the cooler of beer.
Speaker 3 (15:19):
With the cooler a cooler. You know Manti doesn't drink beer.
Speaker 1 (15:22):
So yeah.
Speaker 5 (15:23):
So I'll say this, guys, when I when I think
of watching football, Okay, last week I talked about.
Speaker 7 (15:29):
The smell of football.
Speaker 1 (15:30):
I'm gonna talk to you about the sounds of football.
Speaker 5 (15:32):
If I'm going to pull up a cooler and I'm
gonna sit at a at a practice, at a training camp.
I want to sit at a training camp where I'm
gonna hear the sounds. I'm going to hear the football
helmets colliding with each other, the pads popping up and down.
I want to hear cleats hit the ground. I want
to hear coaches. I want to hear audibles, cadences. I
want to hear all of it. And I think I'm
gonna hear it based on how Ben Johnson has been
(15:52):
running his training camp, going live, going live in seven
on seven, Like as aid defender, I just want to
close my eyes and sit there and just enjoy the
sounds of contact. And I think, matter of fact, I
know that I'm going to find that at nineteen twenty
Football Drive in Illinois. I'm gonna find it on one
of those three fields with its so Walter Payton indoor
Field or that field that's all the way by the
(16:13):
train tracks. I'm gonna hear it. I'm going to enjoy it,
and so I would love to.
Speaker 1 (16:17):
See the Bears nice. I think that works for you too.
I think Ben Jonson strikes me as guy who doesn't
think a lot of beers. He's lean, he's fit. I
think he's like one of those like up in the
dawn working out guy. You would gel with him. I
think yes, but that's just my suspicions speaks my language. Yeah,
for sure, you want to go, Jim.
Speaker 3 (16:31):
Sure, I'll go.
Speaker 2 (16:32):
I don't put the hats on so I don't have
to leave it at the biggest possible size that Kyle.
Speaker 1 (16:36):
I don't want to mess up that braid either, right, come.
Speaker 2 (16:38):
Right, No, I don't put it on. No, the hair
and makeup team will get so mad at me. I'm
gonna go stuggle back to the Cleveland Browns. But specifically
because when you attend any sort of event with a
large amount of beer or whatever, oftentimes with people, and
what happens to people after several beverages is truth talks,
you know, like, what is it a sober man's thoughts
become a drunk man's word.
Speaker 1 (16:59):
Be no very toss something like that.
Speaker 2 (17:01):
I would just want to sit down with someone with
the Cleveland Browns and figure out what the hell has
been going on for the last like four to six months.
Speaker 1 (17:08):
Okay, what was the plan, Jamie? You're saying you want
to get somebody drunk and hear what they're what the
real truth is? Yes, smart, I want truth.
Speaker 2 (17:14):
Serum with my cooler of beer, and I'll take it.
Speaker 3 (17:17):
From a local brewer in Cleveland. I'll try to ingratiate
myself with community. I don't care.
Speaker 2 (17:21):
I just want to know what happened, honestly, from the
date when Miles Garrett released the letter that said I
went out until the week that he re signed with
a massive contract, to the point where they drafted two
quarterbacks in around three and five. I want to know everything,
and we're going to just drink it out. You know,
We're just going to drink it to the truth.
Speaker 5 (17:38):
So you want to say with Miles Garrett and be like,
is this way you came back?
Speaker 2 (17:41):
Anyone who wants to come and tell the truth can
have the beer, Okay, I'll bring as much.
Speaker 1 (17:45):
Garrett probably has one of those like you hear about
like Andre the Giant, Like he would drink like sixty
four beers in one sitting, and he should be like
I knew more. I'd be like, I'm Miles Garrett, like
wouldn't even blink. I don't know if he drank. I
have no idea I know of my answer, though Jamie's
answer was really good. I'm going to Giants Camp for
several reasons. First of which you know who I want
to have a beer with, the head coach. I love
the vibes from Dable. He is the kind of guy
(18:07):
you cracked the cold one with and just talk. I've
told this many times. I went to Cityfield in the
off season. I went to go see Post Malone with
Jelly Roll. Walk through the turnstile in City Field with
the Mets play. The first person I ran into is
the head coach of the Giants. Totally randomly. He's there
with his family. Credible vibe, wonderful family. He was there
to like he put in a hard day's work that
day with the Giants. He was there to have a
(18:27):
good time. Like Dable was awesome, so cool on I
kind of want to be like, can we hang out
after the concert? Like, hey, he had that vibe. Some
of these coaches you meet and they're very buttoned up
and they're polite, but you don't really want to hang
with them. And that's fine. I don't want to hang
with them, they don't want to hang with me. I
want to hang with Dabel. And if we're sitting there
and we got like a little keg or something, and
look if Scattaba wants to come over, scattab was built
(18:47):
like a keg, like he's the football keg himself. I
would really like that kind of party. And Jamie tell
the last Tell the people at home, what's the other
reason that I want to go to Giants Camp instead
of any other camp? Because yes, and you know what,
now I have like eight peers and it'll be like
maybe like one hundred dollars uber X back to my
house and I just want to be as always, I
(19:08):
want to be close to home. Now. This Giant's Camp close.
Speaker 2 (19:10):
Kyle's house to Giants Camp is actually farther than it
was from Kyle's house to my house when I had
the GMFB crewper So Giants Camp, don't be alarmed when
he does still complain about the time that it took
to get to camp and the way home. But he'll
still come and drink your beer, but he'll still leave
you and complain about the.
Speaker 1 (19:28):
Jamie, You're right the first time. By the way, it's
better that Jamie said it than me. But you heard it,
you felt it. See it's oh whatever, I'm sorry, Jamie's
it's ironic that we're talking about drinking. And I feel
like there was some sort of effect that Jamie just
had this like three beers in her. Something got into
your system, Jamie, and it's better that she said it.
She's going to take a lap. So you know what's funny, Jamie,
(19:50):
I'll finished the thought for you part of the end
of that party, and you will relate to this too.
Speaker 5 (19:54):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (19:55):
At some point when I'm there drinking with Dable and Scataboo,
they'd be like, where the hell Kyle goes? And I
just have left, I think, yea, even from there, I'm
not going to go to the bathroom and then never
And what would they do about it, Jamie. They would
complain lament. Yeah, do all these types of things that
mean complain uh, And that's how it would go.
Speaker 2 (20:16):
Our next guest on GMF, Philip be played his college
ball and one of my favorite phrases in football, down
the BYU as a member of the LSU Tigers. Now
he roams the defensive backfield in Cleveland, Ohio. Please welcome
in the show Brown's safety.
Speaker 1 (20:29):
Grant Neil, which that was.
Speaker 3 (20:35):
Awesome.
Speaker 2 (20:36):
Good to see you. You're waiting patiently for your preseason
game against the Eagles. You guys have been holding a
joy practice. Brown's Eagles all week Long. You played tomorrow
one pm Eastern on NFL Network. Here's my number one qussion.
Since you were listening to our last segment, were you
hanging out with the Landon Dickerson crew yesterday practice? I
felt like Brown's and Eagles descended upon the cooler that
(20:56):
Landon Dickerson brought to the field.
Speaker 3 (20:58):
What was happening with that yesterday and.
Speaker 7 (21:00):
They was having a kaya? Isn't aware of that?
Speaker 8 (21:05):
I thought that was stone Coat Steve Austin over there.
Speaker 7 (21:08):
Yeah, you know, so I don't know.
Speaker 8 (21:10):
I saw the guys they chopped it up, you know,
Brooke Bread, So you know, I'll go vibes.
Speaker 1 (21:15):
I guess delp at three sixteen, Like, we totally understand, dude.
That's like, what would your kind of hang be, Like,
what kind of teammates would you like? And what would
be your equivalent if you were to host one of
those on that practice field?
Speaker 8 (21:26):
On that practice field? Yeah, listen, I can't. I don't
know that. That was something that caught me off guard.
You know, I don't think I've ever seen that before.
But that's some old line stuff, I think, the old line. Yeah,
they're very unique of the way.
Speaker 7 (21:44):
How they act and how they go about their day. Yeah,
and I think that's that's their work.
Speaker 1 (21:49):
Well, here's something that's not going to catch you off guard.
I'm going to ask you about shad Or Sanders. Here's
the deal. You've been in the league. Now, it's your
sixth year. Okay, you've seen it all. You've played with
a lot of quarterbacks, You've gone against a lot of quarterbacks.
Just give us your observations. This young kid who comes
in with a lot of attention, a lot of fame
all that. Like, what have you seen from him that
you find interesting and that maybe we wouldn't know.
Speaker 7 (22:12):
Oh, he's a funny he's a funny character. Man. Uh.
Speaker 8 (22:16):
You know, of course we got the spotlight all on him,
and you know, I just say, you know, let the
young kid ball, you know, just just let him be
a rookie, let him make his mistakes in and do
what he has to do. You know, there's a lot
of pressure on him, spotlight on him.
Speaker 7 (22:28):
And stuff like that.
Speaker 8 (22:29):
But you know, at the end of the day, it's football, man.
Speaker 7 (22:32):
You know.
Speaker 8 (22:32):
I try to tell him when I see him, give him,
you know, pointed he and that. She says, it's easy, man,
this is football. Go out there and do what you've
been doing your whole life. So you know, he tastes
coaching and and he's a uh he's he's a good player.
So you know, I know he's hurt right now. So
I don't thank you. I don't know if we're seeing
him on Saturday. But you know, we got a lot
of we got a lot of quarterbacks.
Speaker 7 (22:51):
Man, and I'm here to win. Say it's whoever, whoever,
whoever trying to win. I'm with him.
Speaker 5 (22:56):
Well, Grant, he said that, you know, old lineman doing things,
you know, post practice.
Speaker 1 (23:00):
That's something that we haven't seen.
Speaker 5 (23:02):
But one thing that we have seen post practice with
a lot of teams is when quarterbacks talk. Now, you
guys playing the Eagles, Jalen Hurts and Shadur had a
moment where they came together and had a conversation. We
don't know the details of that conversation, but tell us
a little bit of what should Dour is like off
the field. We know what he's like, or have an
idea of what he's like on the field.
Speaker 1 (23:21):
What is he like off the field?
Speaker 7 (23:24):
Uh, you know, I don't know, man.
Speaker 8 (23:28):
It's it's it's a new age, you know, streaming taken over.
You know, got the spotlight man and young dudes they
taking off with it, so you know they know how
to deal with it. And you know, I think he's
as good off the field as he is on the field.
You know, we see any issues with where he how
it goes about. You know, he showed up the work
(23:48):
every day and.
Speaker 7 (23:49):
And that's what we had to do. So you know,
I think he was.
Speaker 8 (23:52):
You know, raised the right way and really you know,
trying to trying to do his family good man and
really make a name for himself in the league.
Speaker 2 (24:00):
Grant you, you are an anchor of what could become
a really powerful defense in cleved and a lot of
it has to do with you the way you roam
in the defensive backfield and what you have upfront in
Miles Garrett. Now you're going up against a team that
just won a Super Bowl and a really powerful offense.
Do you feel like you, guys made a statement. Did
something happen for your defense this week in Philadelphia that
(24:20):
maybe got your chests out a little bit more, gave
you something going into the regular season that that tells
you a little bit about your defense that you have.
Speaker 7 (24:29):
I don't know, man, y'all tell me that.
Speaker 3 (24:31):
No, no, you got.
Speaker 2 (24:32):
The you're inside the huddle.
Speaker 3 (24:34):
What did it feel like out there on defense?
Speaker 7 (24:37):
I mean, I feel like we got confidence. Man. I
think we we took care of business and did what
we need to do.
Speaker 8 (24:44):
I don't know if any you know, films out there
or whatever, but I think that I think that we're
at a good place right now. You know, coming off
a good week in Carolina, doing we need to do
here Philly with the joint practice and really finishing up
with a you know, good performance in this game. We're
really trying to you know, boost our team to really
go where we need to go this year, because you know,
(25:04):
winning three games it's not good enough.
Speaker 1 (25:06):
As we all, I hear that, man, And you guys
got to come out of the gates fastest life in
the AFC North. You guys start the season going against
Joe Burrow and Lamar. Now these are guys you've seen before,
two very different types of players. As a defensive guy
who's seen it all, Like, what are the challenges between
those two guys separately? Because you got to take them
both out?
Speaker 7 (25:26):
Oh, they're completely different. Yeah, the division is really made
up of.
Speaker 8 (25:31):
I don't know, completely different quarterbacks, to be honest, and
we gotta come, we gotta prepare for you know, Baltimore
twice a year, Pittsburgh and since he so, I think
Joe is more of an accurate uh you know, I
would say pocket past.
Speaker 7 (25:45):
He's surprised a few people with his legs. You know,
you know how Joe does.
Speaker 8 (25:49):
But you know it's certain game plans for him, and
certain game plans for Lamar. But you certain players that
you can't you can't even expect it's going.
Speaker 7 (25:57):
To happen, that he's gonna make it. You gotta go
along with it.
Speaker 8 (26:01):
And you know, of course a new offense or whatever,
new quarterback Anaron Rodgers and Pittsburgh.
Speaker 7 (26:05):
So I think we got the toughest division in football.
Speaker 1 (26:08):
Man.
Speaker 7 (26:09):
So it's fun. It's fun to playing, for sure.
Speaker 5 (26:12):
Well, somebody else that's in your division, Jamar Chase put
a stamp on somebody that you talked about as well,
and that's Denzel Ward. Tell us a little bit grand
about Denzel Ward and what he means to your defense
and the leadership that he provides.
Speaker 7 (26:24):
Man one on one. I think Ward is one on
one man.
Speaker 8 (26:28):
The way he plays his twitchiness is his mechanics technique.
Speaker 7 (26:33):
You know, it's not a lot of people that could do.
Speaker 8 (26:36):
What Denzel does, you know, So you know, I'm glad
I have on my side. I think we got great,
great chemistry working together, you know. So I don't know, man,
it's good things going on to Cleveland right now.
Speaker 2 (26:47):
If you ain't notice, Grant, I covered your twenty nineteen
run with LSU when I was a CBS. It is
the most one of the most amazing teams I've ever
been around. And you guys as a team and as
chemistry and fun on the field and production, everything was high.
What do you remember about the carearacteristics of that team
that you try to carry over to maybe your defensive
(27:07):
unit or the Browns as a whole, because you know
what it felt like in that moment that you want
to try to replicate professionally.
Speaker 7 (27:15):
Yeah, I think it just starts with being close in
the locker room.
Speaker 8 (27:17):
I think if anything, with the Lashit team twenty nineteen,
we were just having fun.
Speaker 7 (27:21):
You know, we were having celebrations after every game. You know,
we had to get the gas stuff going on. I
don't know if y'all remember.
Speaker 8 (27:27):
That, So it was just about really having fun. And
really I think that once your locker room is tight
like that and guys start to you know, jail together
and really have fun off the field on the field,
I think it really just translates to win.
Speaker 2 (27:43):
It's good memories with those guys. And now you've got
to try to pick him off in the division, like
you said, hardest in the NFL.
Speaker 3 (27:49):
Shake your head.
Speaker 2 (27:49):
I looking at Joe Burrow homes in that trophy, grant Elvid.
Thanks for coming on, Stay healthy, man and catch the
Browns tomorrow at one PS. Got them, Joe, It's all right.
Speaker 3 (28:06):
Secret, all right, thank you.
Speaker 1 (28:10):
This was a dude. Episode five. This is a series
that we're doing because you remember the superstars from the
eighties nineties, but you might not know some of the
shooting stars who passed underneath the radar for some reason,
and time does not remember as much as they should.
Guys like Barry Foster, Guys like Rob Moore over here
with the Cardinals, and today we're doing this. Dude, bring
up the picture of my guy. This was a dude,
(28:33):
Bryce Pop seeing here with the Packers. Can you just
tell me how incredibly cool this guy's got the pumps on,
He's got the pump, not Kleat's turf shoes. Back in
the day. You go and he would give you more support,
and then you're like, I don't need that much support.
Release button. I could do a whole segment on just
the pumps, but it's not about the pumps. It's about
(28:53):
Bryce Pop, one of the most underappreciated pass rushers of
the nineties. Classic story guy grew up on a farm
in Scranton, Iowa. Got extra strong as a kid lifting
up fifty on bags of beans. Which with that take
that strength and take it to the NFL and absolutely
dominated you played the football university in Northern Iowa, draftedar
of the Packers in the sixth round, and he was
(29:14):
thrust into the national spotlight in nineteen ninety one in
his very first game, it was Eagles Packers. Now you're
gonna see him bottom of the screen, number ninety five. He's
gonna beat the tackle on sack Randall Cunningham. We're not
showing it, but he also tore Randall Cunningham's ACL on
a hit that was let's say it was on the line.
It was a little bit dicey. The Eagles were a
Super Bowl favorite going into this season. Many Eagles fans
(29:36):
to this day do not like Bryce Pop because of
what happened to Randall. But then nineteen ninety one, he
also starts cooking. That's Bennie Testaverdie and Bryce Pop was
a guy. It's why we do the segment. And we
all love those uniforms, but they don't look so great
when Bryce Pop's hanging all over them. Do they just
ask Vinnie he almost got the uniform ripped off him.
So Pop comes out and he has all these sacks
in one game, including a safety, which turned to be
(29:59):
the winning points because the Packers won at Lambeau by two.
This is back in the old NFC cent thro Division
when Tampa and Green Bay played in the same division.
So he announces himself he wasn't due, and the Packs like,
we got a guy. Let's fast forward to nineteen ninety three.
Pop now is coming into his third season. Look Out Troy.
Pop had eleven sacks this season, including three in a
(30:19):
game against kN That's Jim Harbaugh right there on the Bears.
Pop runs him down. Packers Bears rivalry early farv Era
a three sacks in one game against the Chiefs. Green
Bay vers in Kansas City Is November eighth, nineteen ninety three.
He was an unblockable guy. He was starting to really develop.
And by the way, that's Jim McMahon on the Vikings
wearing an advisor at quarterback. You just don't see it very
(30:41):
much on the AstroTurf. But like I said, eleven sacks
in nineteen ninety three against the Chiefs, he's really announcing
himself as a guy. He really on one of the
best pass rushers you have. For a long time. He
was on the opposite side of Reggie Whites and it
was like, well, the Packer's going to Super Bowl with
this guy. But guess what happened. They let him go.
They let him go in free agency, and where does
he go? Hell, yeah, it's Western New York Bryce Pops.
(31:04):
He shows up in Buffalo and leads the NFL with
seventeen and a half sacks seventeen point five, and Western
New York loved him. Sorry, Dan Marino, he is the
defense Pop goes. Marino said that time perfect Boomer size
and get down. He can't. He's the defensive player of
the Year again. Jim Harb on a different team, Blue
(31:25):
Pants Colts. You love to see it like I said,
seventeen point five Defensive Player of the Year, First Team
All Pro. Let me show you where this ranks contextually.
Bring up the full screen for these guys. AP Defensive
Player of the Year is winner ninety two, ninety six,
Bruce Smith Hall of Fame, Deon sand Of Hall of Fame,
Rod Woods, and Cortez Kenny all Hall of famers. And
that's why we do this segment. Brice Pop just sitting there.
(31:48):
We're in ninety five for the Bills and really really
just wrecking shop. So he's great for the Bills. He
eventually would move on in ninety eight and ninety nine
he goes to the Jaguars. Sorry, Charlie Batch. He played
good football for the Jaguars. It wasn't his Defensive Player
of the Year level. But look he's tackling Jerome Bettis
in the backfield. This was a guy Corey Dillon. All
(32:08):
of these Warriors of the nineties would run into Bryce
Pop and he would make the play. Neil O'Donnell, I'm sorry,
this is so fun to watch. I just want to
watch the highlights. Incredible to watch Bryce Pop really really
great player. So then football drives up. He eventually Leaves
coaches high school football for a few years before breaking
into college football, and as he is at the University
(32:29):
of Northern Iowa, his alma mater, he had what I
thought is a really interesting coaching philosophy that he shared
that he doesn't go around talking to all the players
he's coaching about. I don't know if you know, but
I used to be in the pros. And here's why.
Speaker 9 (32:41):
No one wants to hear about how good you were.
So I try to relate it to other people that
I know from the NFL or guys that I know today,
because no one wants to hear what you used to be.
But if they asked me a question, I'll talk about
my experiences. But other than that, I try not to
use it. Just let them. You know, they know my
(33:03):
history and they don't need to have it keep throwing
in their face.
Speaker 1 (33:08):
No one wants to hear about what you used to
be except me. I love what you used to be,
Bryce Pop. I love that you were dominant. I love
that you're sitting there in Hawaii wearing a Bills hat
and a Pro Bowl uniform. Bryce Pop was hired as
the defensive line coach at Iowa State he's in the game.
He was dominating the game for a time. I know
Buffalo remembers in Jacksonville, Green Bay, but everybody should remember
(33:29):
that back in the day, Bryce Pop, this was a dude.
We love you, Bryce Pop, we remember you, and we
wish good things for you. Buddy. You were dominant. That
is it for that, though, Good Morning Football continues right after.
This 's me zoom in on the formidable, handsome face
of Bryce freaking Pop. This was a dude.
Good Morning Football is the production of the NFL in
partnership with iHeartRadio.
Speaker 2 (00:10):
Welcome to Good Morning Football, presented by TGIF. Everybody a
couple of classic GMFP segments for you on the final
day of the work week. Jamie eard All, Mantai Tao,
Kyle Brandt, this was a dude.
Speaker 3 (00:21):
We got no cap.
Speaker 2 (00:22):
We have an actual dude who plays where the Brown's
coming on and Grant delphic Kyle.
Speaker 1 (00:26):
It's good little hour, it really is. And people in
Western New York excited for the Bills season. This was
the dude is when we look back on guys some
people have forgotten about. This is one of the great
dudes of the Bills in the nineties. You're going to
love this guy, and I bet a lot of you
will remember him. Plus we got all kinds of hats
like Dami you mentioned. Let's get after it. It's the last
hour on a Friday. It's the best hour of the week.
It's Good Morning Football now.
Speaker 2 (01:01):
Welcome to Good Morning Football presented by Sofa. Kyle man T. Jamie,
we got no cap on the table. We are going
to welcome in somebody in a second, but I need
that Titans hatch so I can like, okay, great, help
me out here. Thank you somebody. One of our esteem
stage manager, Puma, was like, make sure we place the
hats near where you can reach them.
Speaker 3 (01:20):
And we're all like, no, we like to scramble.
Speaker 2 (01:22):
For those hats. We like to scramble over those suckers.
We like to create chaos. But I also like to
make sure we understand the headline with which we are
going to reference to. Mike Herrofolo or NFL Network League
insider joining us this morning, and I hope my first
questions about the Titans. Yeah, they're taking on the Falcons
tonight seven pm Eastern on NFL Network. Are we going
to see the number one overall pick quarterbacking in that
game tonight?
Speaker 4 (01:41):
Mike, Yes, we are, no cap Jamie Mike.
Speaker 1 (01:50):
Cook.
Speaker 4 (01:50):
Mike, a second start for the Tennessee Titans, led a
touchdown drive last week, but Brian Callahan saying he hasn't
arrived yet.
Speaker 1 (02:00):
Well, I would hope.
Speaker 4 (02:01):
It's still the preseason of his rookie year. We're probably
gonna be saying that throughout his rookie year. But if
you see some impressive moments, that's a good thing. And
there's been a lot of positivity out of the Titans.
I remember Kyle after Camboard was drafted saying, this is
the most overlooked first overall pick that we've ever had,
and given him some love then. And I still think
he's somewhat overlooked, but not in Tennessee. They like what
(02:21):
they have seen. They want to see it again on
the field. So we shall see speaking them on the field.
How about this one preseason Herbo. We've never seen this before.
There was no preseason when Justin Herbert was drafted back
in twenty twenty, so he didn't play, and then didn't
play the last three years. His first career preseason starts
coming tomorrow against the Rams. Herbert requested to play in
(02:42):
the preseason. Wanted to get some reps on the field
in the live game before the season. A bunch of
other guys as well, so Justin Herbert to make his
first career preseason start.
Speaker 1 (02:53):
And then there's the Browns.
Speaker 4 (02:54):
I used to cover a game with the Giants and
Jets when MetLife Stadium first open.
Speaker 1 (02:58):
They called it the Snoopy Bowl. It was a preseason game.
Speaker 4 (03:01):
This is going to be maybe the Snoop Bowl New
Huntley because there's so many injuries with the Browns that
we might see Huntley out there more than anybody else.
Dylan Gabriel. We just saw him throw it past the rookie.
He did work his way back into team drills this week,
and if everything keeps pointing in the right direction with
his hamstring, we will see him out there, but expect
to see a bunch of Snoop Puntley, who had to
(03:22):
be a quick study upon arriving there in Cleveland. Kevin
Stefanski comfortable with him, but as forshe door Sanders not
going to see him out there. We'll see if he
can get back next week and get some time in
the third preseason game. But the Browns a lot of
quarterbacks shuffling this summer because of all these injuries. Jamie
except the Flacco, old guy perfect.
Speaker 2 (03:41):
Great, good for him keeping the body right. If you
are doesn't matter what age you are. Way to go,
Joe Flacco, Mike Gee, thank you very much. As we
started a segment, we now show you our messy room.
If you will, Mom will clean up later. It's called
no cap. We got thirty two helps.
Speaker 1 (03:55):
Oh the guys hated.
Speaker 2 (04:01):
That look too perfect for Kyle.
Speaker 1 (04:07):
We're going to punch me in the commercial. I'm mad,
no cap, guys.
Speaker 3 (04:11):
I was like, the exercise should be Kyle.
Speaker 2 (04:12):
We should grab one and have to try to make
a stance for it instead of finding it.
Speaker 1 (04:16):
Did you guys? Is as if they saw someone get
hit by a car. It's just hatscott. We're gonna get that.
We're so mad. Whoa wow?
Speaker 2 (04:27):
All right, back to our perfect putsi. He's gonna get
on the table. I'm so distraught, I can't even speak.
It's no cap we have if it doesn't look like
it's thirty two hats on this table in front of me,
every single team represented there. There's three questions and anty,
did you know Kyle has a really big head because
(04:48):
when he grabs these caps he has to unsnap the back.
Speaker 1 (04:51):
Yeahmy's not talking symbolically either. I hope she's talking actually physically,
like I have a large cranium.
Speaker 2 (04:57):
She just this is the first time you two are
in studio together. I feel like that was overholoked yesterday
with seth rollins and stuff like.
Speaker 3 (05:03):
Yet there's some things about Kyle that like we want
to make sure.
Speaker 1 (05:05):
We review, we're figuring it out. I like that's right
here though, ye like fun, Let's go have a large hut.
Speaker 2 (05:10):
Last week Shadur Sanders stole the show in week one
of the preseason. So please grab the cap of the
team who has the quarterback that we are going to
be talking about on Monday morning like we did Shador Manti.
Speaker 1 (05:22):
That says me, fine, look at their boom. Sometimes it's
a quick Grabo's true. All right, guys, come on, I
was going for that one. Let's let's not get a
twisted here, guys. We just talked about him.
Speaker 5 (05:32):
We're going to talk about him again, right because I mean,
it doesn't matter who's playing. I mean, we talk about
the guys that's not playing more than the guys who's playing.
Speaker 1 (05:38):
So if it is Tyler Huntley, ball out.
Speaker 5 (05:40):
Bro If it isn't Tyler Huntley and it's and it's Dylan.
Speaker 1 (05:43):
Gabriel, ball out. But regardless, there's.
Speaker 5 (05:45):
Going to be a narrative on Monday when we come
back as to what it means for Shudor that's sure
to play this week if it doesn't play, this does
that look like in the whole equation called the Cleveland
Browns quarterback Room? So I think that the quarterback or
the quarterbacks we'll be talking about, is going to come
out of this tea.
Speaker 1 (06:00):
You go it all? What do you go?
Speaker 2 (06:01):
It wasn't just enough for JJ McCarthy last It wasn't
enough of whatever people wanted to see from him. A
lot of people, I think myself included. I said it
on the show. He is the most intriguing player in
the NFC North, the one that will have actually the
biggest predictor of outcome for a team. And this is
a quarterback that has never played a snap in the
regular season. The one series last week was fascinating because
(06:24):
while he had a couple of arrant throws that lofted.
Speaker 3 (06:27):
I thought the timing was on.
Speaker 2 (06:28):
So you can almost like pick and choose depending on
your initial.
Speaker 3 (06:31):
Judgment of JJ McCarthy.
Speaker 2 (06:32):
You got to wrap your opinion of his one series
for the Vikings in a little cake mold if you will,
of like, no, I think it went great or I
think it went terribly. We need to see more, and frankly,
I don't know if it's going to go great or terribly,
but we will be talking about it a lot on
money because I think it will be a good definition
of it.
Speaker 1 (06:49):
I'm going back to go on, well, this is too interesting.
What's going on here? It's hold on, there's still like
a cardboard thing in here. I gotta eat all the
help I can get. I got to get all the
cargo off the plane. I imagine how interesting it would
be this weekend. That's how interesting, how reactive? What if
Dylan Gabriel plays and he's excellent. What if he goes
(07:09):
and throws his own two touchdowns? What if he looks
the part? There's nothing I would like more, because it's
just going to put the media in some sort of
pretzel about what do we do? We thought Shador looked great,
but this guy looked really good too, And they spent
much more valuable draft capital on Gabriel than they did
on Sanders. But he doesn't have the internet legions supporting him,
and in so many ways, he's this guy who's completely
(07:32):
forgotten about. I can't imagine how difficult this training cap
must be for Dylan Gabriel. Not only is he up
against so many forces that many rookies are not up
against in terms of attention and median prestige, then he
gets injured and he's fighting for this role and everyone's
talking about me. He's just trying to find his way
in the NFL. There's nothing I would like more than
for Dylan Gabriel out of Oregon to come and show
up and just fall and just be like, dude, announce
(07:54):
yourself this weekend. It's not all about that guy who's
behind you or the forty year old in front of you.
What a weird world. Dylan Gabriel must live in between
the ears. If you can just go out and play
good football, I would have so much respect for it.
Speaker 2 (08:05):
Go get him, man, Kyle, you oftentimes adopt pound puppy teams.
Is Dylan Gabriel pound puppy quarterback?
Speaker 1 (08:10):
You might be? Yeah? I mean, I just it's for
him to slay the dragons that have been put around
him and at some point be the starting quarterback for
the Cleveland Browns just because he earned it. That would
be a really cool story. Really cool. I mean should
door would be cool too? Yeah, but this don't give
Dylan Gabrie a little credit. If he comes out and
plays well, all right, letus there's a lot of stories
come out.
Speaker 3 (08:28):
Yeah, totally, totally.
Speaker 2 (08:29):
There was quite the story we had unfold right here
on GMFB over the last one hundred hours or so.
We were really concerned about Kyle when he showed up
to the show on Wednesday with arm in sling to
fly across country. Have that arm us look who terrible
surprise us all, including our friend of the show, WW
superstar seth Rawlins.
Speaker 3 (08:47):
Kyle wasn't hurt.
Speaker 2 (08:48):
He took to the spychometer and he took a championship
home with him.
Speaker 1 (08:52):
Check it out already written my pants what number?
Speaker 6 (09:07):
No, no, no, no.
Speaker 1 (09:31):
Sure house, I wave you know what they really A
great reaction would have been if in that celebration I
injured my shoulder. I almost wish I could have committed
(09:54):
and done that like it would have been the Black Swan.
I would have danced the perfect ballet, but thankfully my
shoulders fine. Imagine if I blew out my shoulder celebrating
that I didn't have an injured show, irony of it all?
Would I really do?
Speaker 3 (10:09):
I do believe we didn't think of that in advanced.
Speaker 1 (10:10):
Well you guys would have believe me. I did. I
should have done that. I should have intentionally injured Wolf.
Speaker 3 (10:17):
I know good have an X ray machine next to
the spike.
Speaker 1 (10:23):
I regret that not injuring myself.
Speaker 2 (10:24):
There's less screaming here today, but that doesn't mean that
people aren't going to be screaming about certain teams.
Speaker 3 (10:29):
In twenty twenty five.
Speaker 2 (10:30):
You have to grab find the cap, No, no longer grabbing.
Find the cap on the team that you think will
shock the world the way you did yesterday with your
rules of the century two point zero.
Speaker 1 (10:39):
The season will shock seen these questions? Oh great, Well, so.
Speaker 2 (10:42):
The question is find the cap of the team that
you think will shock the world the way you did.
Speaker 3 (10:46):
The spikeroo meter.
Speaker 1 (10:46):
Yeah, go ahead, and guys, I'm big on this, taking
your hat No no, no, I said, damn because this
is a hard question. Yeah, they'll go do do Patriots?
I like? I like the Patriots? Okay, after the Week.
Speaker 5 (10:58):
One preseason game, to see Trevon Henderson, their rookie crib
the opening kickoff for a touchdown. We didn't see a
lot of Will Campbell highlights, but the guy who was
pancaking people like everywhere down in the field, ten yards
down the field on a toss, he was doing so
many great things. I think that the Spellane and Ls,
those two inside linebackers for them, they embody what coach
(11:20):
is trying to do over there. Coach crab was trying
to do over there for the Patriots. So I really
like this team. Watch out for them. They're in a
really tough, tough division, but I think they'll shock the world.
Speaker 1 (11:29):
I'm in just sharing twenty twenty five. What do you got?
Speaker 2 (11:32):
I always said that, you know, Will Campbell, that's my
guy right there. I've seen no I have a Seahawks
at Seattle Seahawks. Kyle, you've kind of led everybody to
the water on this one.
Speaker 3 (11:42):
But it's the Seattle Seahawks.
Speaker 2 (11:44):
I feel like, are the NFC's version of us not
talking about cam Ward or something?
Speaker 3 (11:47):
Like they have a.
Speaker 2 (11:48):
Second year head coach who is a prolific defensive coordinator
with Baltimore. Like, why we're not paying more attention to
Mike McDonald.
Speaker 3 (11:54):
Is beyond me.
Speaker 2 (11:56):
They finished ten and seven last season, they were right there,
and they have Sam Donald now, and anyone who wants
to continue to deny what Sam Donald could be as
a former high first round pick with the New York Jets,
I don't care the fact that Sam Donald has been
for sixteen played for sixteen different organizations.
Speaker 3 (12:12):
In fact, I enjoy that about him.
Speaker 2 (12:14):
He has a mass an immense amount of experience knowledge.
Speaker 3 (12:17):
It's like he's got scar.
Speaker 2 (12:18):
Tissue emotionally and physically. He's a good quarterback and he
showed us that last year with Kevin O'Connell and the
Minnesota Viking.
Speaker 3 (12:24):
So this would be a shock the world.
Speaker 2 (12:26):
Because I'm just not convinced that the forty nine ers
would be.
Speaker 3 (12:28):
That second team in the NFC West.
Speaker 2 (12:30):
And if things don't go well for Stafford, look out
for the Seahawks.
Speaker 1 (12:33):
Yeah. And I think the Seahawks are a media study too. Yeah,
there's something about them that that doesn't have the sex
and this factor, let's call it what it is. You're
not going to turn on ESPN and Ceeahawks talk. You're
not going to turn on our show and see very
much Seahawks talk. And if this is not the Lob
and Russell, Wilson and Pete back in the day, their
most interesting player from a media perspective is now a
(12:53):
receiver for the Steelers, Dk Metcalf. They have Sam Donald
who is not sexy, like McDonald, who's not sex It's
just there's not a lot of talk about them, and
yet this is a football show. They won ten games
a year ago with the new head coach, and they
have some really good players. They're going to be a factor.
Whether it resonates in media or not. Who really cares
to that point?
Speaker 3 (13:11):
Oh ye, get the cardboards.
Speaker 1 (13:15):
This this hat, you can't miss. This is teal Now.
I've been crushing on the Panthers like I've just I've
been eyeing them from across study hall. I'm passing them
a note. They made eye contact with me. I kind
of flushed, like, I like what the Panthers are going on.
The question is at the bottom of the screen, define
shock the world. The Panthers gonna win the Super Bowl?
I don't think so. I don't think I win the South.
I don't know. I think the Panthers are gonna win
(13:35):
games this year. I think the Panthers are going to
be a factor. I like how they ended last year,
and I like the coach, I like the quarterback, I
like the additions, and I think that the NFC South
as much as we like Tampa. And everyone's like, God,
there's a factor right now with the Falcons where everyone's
freaking out about the Falcons. They have very good vibes
coming out of Falcons Camp, very good. The fantasy community
loves them. Oh, it's all beigeon this. It's like, do
(13:56):
I go back and draft Pits again? Ten X books
to part there's a lot of love the Falcons. But
never mind that. I like the Panthers, not based on
vibes from training camp, based on the last time we
saw them play real games, which was at the end
of last season, and they looked just the part of
that team that makes the proverbial jump. Would it shock
the world if the Panthers were eight and nine? Is
that qualified? I'm not going to split hairs on it.
(14:18):
I'm going to say the Panthers are going to be
a winning team this year, and that's my answer. I
like that.
Speaker 2 (14:22):
One of those teams that you referenced was Panthers Eagles
and Bryce hung around last year.
Speaker 1 (14:26):
He should have beat them. They had their tough at
the goal line was right there. They were going to
slay that dragon. No one could beat the Eagle by far,
the best team.
Speaker 2 (14:34):
In the Yeah, and they hung with the Chiefs as well.
Eagles guard. Speaking of the Eagles, Eagles guard Landed Dickerson.
Dickerson was back on the field at Eagles Grounds joint
practice after undergoing a knee procedure, but he came burying
gifts for both teams.
Speaker 3 (14:47):
That is a cooler of beer.
Speaker 1 (14:49):
The bulls back in town.
Speaker 2 (14:50):
That is a soft cooozy if you will, filled with
beer and they were chilled to perfection.
Speaker 3 (14:56):
It's fantastic.
Speaker 2 (14:57):
Well done, Land and find the cap, grab the cap
of the team who's practice that you would like to attend,
and bring said cooler of beer.
Speaker 3 (15:05):
I guess, cooler of what have you?
Speaker 2 (15:07):
Kyle?
Speaker 1 (15:07):
Can I wear thirty two hats at one time? Because
that's what I want to do right now? Put them
all on, we stack them up. Man, tare you go?
Come on? You want me to go?
Speaker 6 (15:16):
Brother?
Speaker 1 (15:16):
Yeah? I want all right, brother, We're attending this training
camp with the cooler of beer.
Speaker 3 (15:19):
With the cooler a cooler. You know Manti doesn't drink beer.
Speaker 1 (15:22):
So yeah.
Speaker 5 (15:23):
So I'll say this, guys, when I when I think
of watching football, Okay, last week I talked about.
Speaker 7 (15:29):
The smell of football.
Speaker 1 (15:30):
I'm gonna talk to you about the sounds of football.
Speaker 5 (15:32):
If I'm going to pull up a cooler and I'm
gonna sit at a at a practice, at a training camp.
I want to sit at a training camp where I'm
gonna hear the sounds. I'm going to hear the football
helmets colliding with each other, the pads popping up and down.
I want to hear cleats hit the ground. I want
to hear coaches. I want to hear audibles, cadences. I
want to hear all of it. And I think I'm
gonna hear it based on how Ben Johnson has been
(15:52):
running his training camp, going live, going live in seven
on seven, Like as aid defender, I just want to
close my eyes and sit there and just enjoy the
sounds of contact. And I think, matter of fact, I
know that I'm going to find that at nineteen twenty
Football Drive in Illinois. I'm gonna find it on one
of those three fields with its so Walter Payton indoor
Field or that field that's all the way by the
(16:13):
train tracks. I'm gonna hear it. I'm going to enjoy it,
and so I would love to.
Speaker 1 (16:17):
See the Bears nice. I think that works for you too.
I think Ben Jonson strikes me as guy who doesn't
think a lot of beers. He's lean, he's fit. I
think he's like one of those like up in the
dawn working out guy. You would gel with him. I
think yes, but that's just my suspicions speaks my language. Yeah,
for sure, you want to go, Jim.
Speaker 3 (16:31):
Sure, I'll go.
Speaker 2 (16:32):
I don't put the hats on so I don't have
to leave it at the biggest possible size that Kyle.
Speaker 1 (16:36):
I don't want to mess up that braid either, right, come.
Speaker 2 (16:38):
Right, No, I don't put it on. No, the hair
and makeup team will get so mad at me. I'm
gonna go stuggle back to the Cleveland Browns. But specifically
because when you attend any sort of event with a
large amount of beer or whatever, oftentimes with people, and
what happens to people after several beverages is truth talks,
you know, like, what is it a sober man's thoughts
become a drunk man's word.
Speaker 1 (16:59):
Be no very toss something like that.
Speaker 2 (17:01):
I would just want to sit down with someone with
the Cleveland Browns and figure out what the hell has
been going on for the last like four to six months.
Speaker 1 (17:08):
Okay, what was the plan, Jamie? You're saying you want
to get somebody drunk and hear what they're what the
real truth is? Yes, smart, I want truth.
Speaker 2 (17:14):
Serum with my cooler of beer, and I'll take it.
Speaker 3 (17:17):
From a local brewer in Cleveland. I'll try to ingratiate
myself with community. I don't care.
Speaker 2 (17:21):
I just want to know what happened, honestly, from the
date when Miles Garrett released the letter that said I
went out until the week that he re signed with
a massive contract, to the point where they drafted two
quarterbacks in around three and five. I want to know everything,
and we're going to just drink it out. You know,
We're just going to drink it to the truth.
Speaker 5 (17:38):
So you want to say with Miles Garrett and be like,
is this way you came back?
Speaker 2 (17:41):
Anyone who wants to come and tell the truth can
have the beer, Okay, I'll bring as much.
Speaker 1 (17:45):
Garrett probably has one of those like you hear about
like Andre the Giant, Like he would drink like sixty
four beers in one sitting, and he should be like
I knew more. I'd be like, I'm Miles Garrett, like
wouldn't even blink. I don't know if he drank. I
have no idea I know of my answer, though Jamie's
answer was really good. I'm going to Giants Camp for
several reasons. First of which you know who I want
to have a beer with, the head coach. I love
the vibes from Dable. He is the kind of guy
(18:07):
you cracked the cold one with and just talk. I've
told this many times. I went to Cityfield in the
off season. I went to go see Post Malone with
Jelly Roll. Walk through the turnstile in City Field with
the Mets play. The first person I ran into is
the head coach of the Giants. Totally randomly. He's there
with his family. Credible vibe, wonderful family. He was there
to like he put in a hard day's work that
day with the Giants. He was there to have a
(18:27):
good time. Like Dable was awesome, so cool on I
kind of want to be like, can we hang out
after the concert? Like, hey, he had that vibe. Some
of these coaches you meet and they're very buttoned up
and they're polite, but you don't really want to hang
with them. And that's fine. I don't want to hang
with them, they don't want to hang with me. I
want to hang with Dabel. And if we're sitting there
and we got like a little keg or something, and
look if Scattaba wants to come over, scattab was built
(18:47):
like a keg, like he's the football keg himself. I
would really like that kind of party. And Jamie tell
the last Tell the people at home, what's the other
reason that I want to go to Giants Camp instead
of any other camp? Because yes, and you know what,
now I have like eight peers and it'll be like
maybe like one hundred dollars uber X back to my
house and I just want to be as always, I
(19:08):
want to be close to home. Now. This Giant's Camp close.
Speaker 2 (19:10):
Kyle's house to Giants Camp is actually farther than it
was from Kyle's house to my house when I had
the GMFB crewper So Giants Camp, don't be alarmed when
he does still complain about the time that it took
to get to camp and the way home. But he'll
still come and drink your beer, but he'll still leave
you and complain about the.
Speaker 1 (19:28):
Jamie, You're right the first time. By the way, it's
better that Jamie said it than me. But you heard it,
you felt it. See it's oh whatever, I'm sorry, Jamie's
it's ironic that we're talking about drinking. And I feel
like there was some sort of effect that Jamie just
had this like three beers in her. Something got into
your system, Jamie, and it's better that she said it.
She's going to take a lap. So you know what's funny, Jamie,
(19:50):
I'll finished the thought for you part of the end
of that party, and you will relate to this too.
Speaker 5 (19:54):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (19:55):
At some point when I'm there drinking with Dable and Scataboo,
they'd be like, where the hell Kyle goes? And I
just have left, I think, yea, even from there, I'm
not going to go to the bathroom and then never
And what would they do about it, Jamie. They would
complain lament. Yeah, do all these types of things that
mean complain uh, And that's how it would go.
Speaker 2 (20:16):
Our next guest on GMF, Philip be played his college
ball and one of my favorite phrases in football, down
the BYU as a member of the LSU Tigers. Now
he roams the defensive backfield in Cleveland, Ohio. Please welcome
in the show Brown's safety.
Speaker 1 (20:29):
Grant Neil, which that was.
Speaker 3 (20:35):
Awesome.
Speaker 2 (20:36):
Good to see you. You're waiting patiently for your preseason
game against the Eagles. You guys have been holding a
joy practice. Brown's Eagles all week Long. You played tomorrow
one pm Eastern on NFL Network. Here's my number one qussion.
Since you were listening to our last segment, were you
hanging out with the Landon Dickerson crew yesterday practice? I
felt like Brown's and Eagles descended upon the cooler that
(20:56):
Landon Dickerson brought to the field.
Speaker 3 (20:58):
What was happening with that yesterday and.
Speaker 7 (21:00):
They was having a kaya? Isn't aware of that?
Speaker 8 (21:05):
I thought that was stone Coat Steve Austin over there.
Speaker 7 (21:08):
Yeah, you know, so I don't know.
Speaker 8 (21:10):
I saw the guys they chopped it up, you know,
Brooke Bread, So you know, I'll go vibes.
Speaker 1 (21:15):
I guess delp at three sixteen, Like, we totally understand, dude.
That's like, what would your kind of hang be, Like,
what kind of teammates would you like? And what would
be your equivalent if you were to host one of
those on that practice field?
Speaker 8 (21:26):
On that practice field? Yeah, listen, I can't. I don't
know that. That was something that caught me off guard.
You know, I don't think I've ever seen that before.
But that's some old line stuff, I think, the old line. Yeah,
they're very unique of the way.
Speaker 7 (21:44):
How they act and how they go about their day. Yeah,
and I think that's that's their work.
Speaker 1 (21:49):
Well, here's something that's not going to catch you off guard.
I'm going to ask you about shad Or Sanders. Here's
the deal. You've been in the league. Now, it's your
sixth year. Okay, you've seen it all. You've played with
a lot of quarterbacks, You've gone against a lot of quarterbacks.
Just give us your observations. This young kid who comes
in with a lot of attention, a lot of fame
all that. Like, what have you seen from him that
you find interesting and that maybe we wouldn't know.
Speaker 7 (22:12):
Oh, he's a funny he's a funny character. Man. Uh.
Speaker 8 (22:16):
You know, of course we got the spotlight all on him,
and you know, I just say, you know, let the
young kid ball, you know, just just let him be
a rookie, let him make his mistakes in and do
what he has to do. You know, there's a lot
of pressure on him, spotlight on him.
Speaker 7 (22:28):
And stuff like that.
Speaker 8 (22:29):
But you know, at the end of the day, it's football, man.
Speaker 7 (22:32):
You know.
Speaker 8 (22:32):
I try to tell him when I see him, give him,
you know, pointed he and that. She says, it's easy, man,
this is football. Go out there and do what you've
been doing your whole life. So you know, he tastes
coaching and and he's a uh he's he's a good player.
So you know, I know he's hurt right now. So
I don't thank you. I don't know if we're seeing
him on Saturday. But you know, we got a lot
of we got a lot of quarterbacks.
Speaker 7 (22:51):
Man, and I'm here to win. Say it's whoever, whoever,
whoever trying to win. I'm with him.
Speaker 5 (22:56):
Well, Grant, he said that, you know, old lineman doing things,
you know, post practice.
Speaker 1 (23:00):
That's something that we haven't seen.
Speaker 5 (23:02):
But one thing that we have seen post practice with
a lot of teams is when quarterbacks talk. Now, you
guys playing the Eagles, Jalen Hurts and Shadur had a
moment where they came together and had a conversation. We
don't know the details of that conversation, but tell us
a little bit of what should Dour is like off
the field. We know what he's like, or have an
idea of what he's like on the field.
Speaker 1 (23:21):
What is he like off the field?
Speaker 7 (23:24):
Uh, you know, I don't know, man.
Speaker 8 (23:28):
It's it's it's a new age, you know, streaming taken over.
You know, got the spotlight man and young dudes they
taking off with it, so you know they know how
to deal with it. And you know, I think he's
as good off the field as he is on the field.
You know, we see any issues with where he how
it goes about. You know, he showed up the work
(23:48):
every day and.
Speaker 7 (23:49):
And that's what we had to do. So you know,
I think he was.
Speaker 8 (23:52):
You know, raised the right way and really you know,
trying to trying to do his family good man and
really make a name for himself in the league.
Speaker 2 (24:00):
Grant you, you are an anchor of what could become
a really powerful defense in cleved and a lot of
it has to do with you the way you roam
in the defensive backfield and what you have upfront in
Miles Garrett. Now you're going up against a team that
just won a Super Bowl and a really powerful offense.
Do you feel like you, guys made a statement. Did
something happen for your defense this week in Philadelphia that
(24:20):
maybe got your chests out a little bit more, gave
you something going into the regular season that that tells
you a little bit about your defense that you have.
Speaker 7 (24:29):
I don't know, man, y'all tell me that.
Speaker 3 (24:31):
No, no, you got.
Speaker 2 (24:32):
The you're inside the huddle.
Speaker 3 (24:34):
What did it feel like out there on defense?
Speaker 7 (24:37):
I mean, I feel like we got confidence. Man. I
think we we took care of business and did what
we need to do.
Speaker 8 (24:44):
I don't know if any you know, films out there
or whatever, but I think that I think that we're
at a good place right now. You know, coming off
a good week in Carolina, doing we need to do
here Philly with the joint practice and really finishing up
with a you know, good performance in this game. We're
really trying to you know, boost our team to really
go where we need to go this year, because you know,
(25:04):
winning three games it's not good enough.
Speaker 1 (25:06):
As we all, I hear that, man, And you guys
got to come out of the gates fastest life in
the AFC North. You guys start the season going against
Joe Burrow and Lamar. Now these are guys you've seen before,
two very different types of players. As a defensive guy
who's seen it all, Like, what are the challenges between
those two guys separately? Because you got to take them
both out?
Speaker 7 (25:26):
Oh, they're completely different. Yeah, the division is really made
up of.
Speaker 8 (25:31):
I don't know, completely different quarterbacks, to be honest, and
we gotta come, we gotta prepare for you know, Baltimore
twice a year, Pittsburgh and since he so, I think
Joe is more of an accurate uh you know, I
would say pocket past.
Speaker 7 (25:45):
He's surprised a few people with his legs. You know,
you know how Joe does.
Speaker 8 (25:49):
But you know it's certain game plans for him, and
certain game plans for Lamar. But you certain players that
you can't you can't even expect it's going.
Speaker 7 (25:57):
To happen, that he's gonna make it. You gotta go
along with it.
Speaker 8 (26:01):
And you know, of course a new offense or whatever,
new quarterback Anaron Rodgers and Pittsburgh.
Speaker 7 (26:05):
So I think we got the toughest division in football.
Speaker 1 (26:08):
Man.
Speaker 7 (26:09):
So it's fun. It's fun to playing, for sure.
Speaker 5 (26:12):
Well, somebody else that's in your division, Jamar Chase put
a stamp on somebody that you talked about as well,
and that's Denzel Ward. Tell us a little bit grand
about Denzel Ward and what he means to your defense
and the leadership that he provides.
Speaker 7 (26:24):
Man one on one. I think Ward is one on
one man.
Speaker 8 (26:28):
The way he plays his twitchiness is his mechanics technique.
Speaker 7 (26:33):
You know, it's not a lot of people that could do.
Speaker 8 (26:36):
What Denzel does, you know, So you know, I'm glad
I have on my side. I think we got great,
great chemistry working together, you know. So I don't know, man,
it's good things going on to Cleveland right now.
Speaker 2 (26:47):
If you ain't notice, Grant, I covered your twenty nineteen
run with LSU when I was a CBS. It is
the most one of the most amazing teams I've ever
been around. And you guys as a team and as
chemistry and fun on the field and production, everything was high.
What do you remember about the carearacteristics of that team
that you try to carry over to maybe your defensive
(27:07):
unit or the Browns as a whole, because you know
what it felt like in that moment that you want
to try to replicate professionally.
Speaker 7 (27:15):
Yeah, I think it just starts with being close in
the locker room.
Speaker 8 (27:17):
I think if anything, with the Lashit team twenty nineteen,
we were just having fun.
Speaker 7 (27:21):
You know, we were having celebrations after every game. You know,
we had to get the gas stuff going on. I
don't know if y'all remember.
Speaker 8 (27:27):
That, So it was just about really having fun. And
really I think that once your locker room is tight
like that and guys start to you know, jail together
and really have fun off the field on the field,
I think it really just translates to win.
Speaker 2 (27:43):
It's good memories with those guys. And now you've got
to try to pick him off in the division, like
you said, hardest in the NFL.
Speaker 3 (27:49):
Shake your head.
Speaker 2 (27:49):
I looking at Joe Burrow homes in that trophy, grant Elvid.
Thanks for coming on, Stay healthy, man and catch the
Browns tomorrow at one PS. Got them, Joe, It's all right.
Speaker 3 (28:06):
Secret, all right, thank you.
Speaker 1 (28:10):
This was a dude. Episode five. This is a series
that we're doing because you remember the superstars from the
eighties nineties, but you might not know some of the
shooting stars who passed underneath the radar for some reason,
and time does not remember as much as they should.
Guys like Barry Foster, Guys like Rob Moore over here
with the Cardinals, and today we're doing this. Dude, bring
up the picture of my guy. This was a dude,
(28:33):
Bryce Pop seeing here with the Packers. Can you just
tell me how incredibly cool this guy's got the pumps on,
He's got the pump, not Kleat's turf shoes. Back in
the day. You go and he would give you more support,
and then you're like, I don't need that much support.
Release button. I could do a whole segment on just
the pumps, but it's not about the pumps. It's about
(28:53):
Bryce Pop, one of the most underappreciated pass rushers of
the nineties. Classic story guy grew up on a farm
in Scranton, Iowa. Got extra strong as a kid lifting
up fifty on bags of beans. Which with that take
that strength and take it to the NFL and absolutely
dominated you played the football university in Northern Iowa, draftedar
of the Packers in the sixth round, and he was
(29:14):
thrust into the national spotlight in nineteen ninety one in
his very first game, it was Eagles Packers. Now you're
gonna see him bottom of the screen, number ninety five. He's
gonna beat the tackle on sack Randall Cunningham. We're not
showing it, but he also tore Randall Cunningham's ACL on
a hit that was let's say it was on the line.
It was a little bit dicey. The Eagles were a
Super Bowl favorite going into this season. Many Eagles fans
(29:36):
to this day do not like Bryce Pop because of
what happened to Randall. But then nineteen ninety one, he
also starts cooking. That's Bennie Testaverdie and Bryce Pop was
a guy. It's why we do the segment. And we
all love those uniforms, but they don't look so great
when Bryce Pop's hanging all over them. Do they just
ask Vinnie he almost got the uniform ripped off him.
So Pop comes out and he has all these sacks
in one game, including a safety, which turned to be
(29:59):
the winning points because the Packers won at Lambeau by two.
This is back in the old NFC cent thro Division
when Tampa and Green Bay played in the same division.
So he announces himself he wasn't due, and the Packs like,
we got a guy. Let's fast forward to nineteen ninety three.
Pop now is coming into his third season. Look Out Troy.
Pop had eleven sacks this season, including three in a
(30:19):
game against kN That's Jim Harbaugh right there on the Bears.
Pop runs him down. Packers Bears rivalry early farv Era
a three sacks in one game against the Chiefs. Green
Bay vers in Kansas City Is November eighth, nineteen ninety three.
He was an unblockable guy. He was starting to really develop.
And by the way, that's Jim McMahon on the Vikings
wearing an advisor at quarterback. You just don't see it very
(30:41):
much on the AstroTurf. But like I said, eleven sacks
in nineteen ninety three against the Chiefs, he's really announcing
himself as a guy. He really on one of the
best pass rushers you have. For a long time. He
was on the opposite side of Reggie Whites and it
was like, well, the Packer's going to Super Bowl with
this guy. But guess what happened. They let him go.
They let him go in free agency, and where does
he go? Hell, yeah, it's Western New York Bryce Pops.
(31:04):
He shows up in Buffalo and leads the NFL with
seventeen and a half sacks seventeen point five, and Western
New York loved him. Sorry, Dan Marino, he is the
defense Pop goes. Marino said that time perfect Boomer size
and get down. He can't. He's the defensive player of
the Year again. Jim Harb on a different team, Blue
(31:25):
Pants Colts. You love to see it like I said,
seventeen point five Defensive Player of the Year, First Team
All Pro. Let me show you where this ranks contextually.
Bring up the full screen for these guys. AP Defensive
Player of the Year is winner ninety two, ninety six,
Bruce Smith Hall of Fame, Deon sand Of Hall of Fame,
Rod Woods, and Cortez Kenny all Hall of famers. And
that's why we do this segment. Brice Pop just sitting there.
(31:48):
We're in ninety five for the Bills and really really
just wrecking shop. So he's great for the Bills. He
eventually would move on in ninety eight and ninety nine
he goes to the Jaguars. Sorry, Charlie Batch. He played
good football for the Jaguars. It wasn't his Defensive Player
of the Year level. But look he's tackling Jerome Bettis
in the backfield. This was a guy Corey Dillon. All
(32:08):
of these Warriors of the nineties would run into Bryce
Pop and he would make the play. Neil O'Donnell, I'm sorry,
this is so fun to watch. I just want to
watch the highlights. Incredible to watch Bryce Pop really really
great player. So then football drives up. He eventually Leaves
coaches high school football for a few years before breaking
into college football, and as he is at the University
(32:29):
of Northern Iowa, his alma mater, he had what I
thought is a really interesting coaching philosophy that he shared
that he doesn't go around talking to all the players
he's coaching about. I don't know if you know, but
I used to be in the pros. And here's why.
Speaker 9 (32:41):
No one wants to hear about how good you were.
So I try to relate it to other people that
I know from the NFL or guys that I know today,
because no one wants to hear what you used to be.
But if they asked me a question, I'll talk about
my experiences. But other than that, I try not to
use it. Just let them. You know, they know my
(33:03):
history and they don't need to have it keep throwing
in their face.
Speaker 1 (33:08):
No one wants to hear about what you used to
be except me. I love what you used to be,
Bryce Pop. I love that you were dominant. I love
that you're sitting there in Hawaii wearing a Bills hat
and a Pro Bowl uniform. Bryce Pop was hired as
the defensive line coach at Iowa State he's in the game.
He was dominating the game for a time. I know
Buffalo remembers in Jacksonville, Green Bay, but everybody should remember
(33:29):
that back in the day, Bryce Pop, this was a dude.
We love you, Bryce Pop, we remember you, and we
wish good things for you. Buddy. You were dominant. That
is it for that, though, Good Morning Football continues right after.
This 's me zoom in on the formidable, handsome face
of Bryce freaking Pop. This was a dude.
