Let's start the show. We got all kinds of highlights.
Let's talk.
Speaker 3 (01:05):
Welcome to Good Morning Football presented by Best Spot. That's right,
Jamie eardl Mantiteo, Kyle Brant, Rodney Pete, Kyle Brant, please
do what you do best and just whax poetic about
our guest here today, Rodney Pete, and any wonderful football
memories that you have of him, the fact that he's
our friend of the table.
Speaker 4 (01:22):
Everywhere I begin.
Speaker 1 (01:23):
I'm old enough to remember watching Rodney in the eighties
at usc running around the coliseum, making plays all over
the NFL. I loved him in Detroit. I loved him here.
I loved his family, I love his wife. I love
him now. I love him in the media.
Speaker 4 (01:36):
Rodney, You're a legend. We're looking at you and Wayne Vonty.
You take us back, Rodney.
Speaker 5 (01:41):
That's rookie years Detroit eighty.
Speaker 4 (01:44):
Nine, nineteen eighty.
Speaker 2 (01:45):
Wow, that's old, and that's look.
Speaker 4 (01:46):
At the footage.
Speaker 5 (01:47):
I don't think they had HD back then.
Speaker 1 (01:50):
Andrew death, Rodney, did.
Speaker 3 (01:53):
You come walking loaded with some stories today from your
playing days? But also you still watch the game the
same way you take in everybody across the league.
Speaker 5 (02:01):
You know what, I do watch the game, but I
watch it not as it's critical, okay, right, you know,
I watch it for the enjoyment, right, And I still
have a family member in the NFL. My brother coaches
for the Buck. So I'm vested in Tampa Bay.
Speaker 2 (02:14):
A little bit.
Speaker 3 (02:15):
Really, Well, that's all we do here. We're not very critical.
We're just a big, warm hug around football at all times.
Speaker 4 (02:20):
I like that.
Speaker 2 (02:20):
I now that's exactly what we do.
Speaker 3 (02:22):
Kyle, you have a beautiful thing that we like to
call a shot sheet in front of you. It's from
Bill's Bears and you said, apparently it's leading them right
to a Super Bowl parade.
Speaker 1 (02:30):
Well, Rodney, if you don't want to be critical, let
me show you the Ben Johnson offense. That'll be really easy.
Let's go to the land of the Stinking onion. That
is what Chicagua means in its native tongue.
Speaker 4 (02:41):
And here we go.
Speaker 1 (02:42):
Caleb Williams sex sixty four times last year. He's backed
up folloween his en SONA started his first drive of
the prese.
Speaker 4 (02:47):
Here's the first.
Speaker 1 (02:48):
Play for Caleb Williams under Ben Johnson. It's a bootleg
and it's to the rookie.
Speaker 4 (02:52):
Tight end coast in Lovelin and Michigan Man's Michigan Man.
That is an eight yard game.
Speaker 1 (02:57):
On the second places up the Ben Johnson era, Bam,
go to the other tight end that is cold comect
M E t.
Speaker 4 (03:05):
It feels like he's missing a vowel.
Speaker 1 (03:07):
But Williams was missing nothing in this game, not at all.
Speaker 5 (03:10):
Right.
Speaker 4 (03:10):
First and ten, as you go to DJ Moore, bam
out to the outside.
Speaker 1 (03:14):
There was pressure coming. He hit some six yard games,
No big deal. DJ Moore at ninety eight catches last year,
that was number one this year. Second and five, did
I say we got a rookie tight on in a
Michigan that I just said we I did. It's Coaston
Loveland again. They thought they were gonna take Tyler Warren
from Penn State. They said, no, we like Loveland and
we're not apologizing for it. Kayla Williams early on in
(03:37):
sync and here we go. Third and five, enemy territory.
Oh love a day zach Kius. Say it again, Chicago,
Oh love a day Zacchius.
Speaker 4 (03:46):
They call him oz o z.
Speaker 1 (03:48):
That is a thirty six yard touchdown and a bleep
in red brand of an opening drive for Kayleb Williams
against some guys who I don't know if they have
a long future with the Buffalo Bills, and by long future,
I'm not sure their bills this morning. But Ben Johnson
is smiling. It's against backup gives the damn. The Bears
go on to win this game thirty eight to bupkiss
(04:10):
if you care. Frank Gore Junior right there in the
in the stat line for the Bills, as well as
mister Bisky returning home.
Speaker 4 (04:16):
But the story here.
Speaker 1 (04:17):
Was all how did Caleb look under the Ben Johnson offense?
Speaker 4 (04:21):
And it was sterling.
Speaker 3 (04:22):
We got to throw a junior on there. Come on now,
thirty eight nothing bears a final. This is a great
night for Caleb Williams.
Speaker 1 (04:29):
Kyle.
Speaker 3 (04:29):
I did have just had to do my own olamide
Za Kias from Virginia just to make sure I understood
the history for that player. And we all know Cayle
Williams from USC didn't suit up week one of the preseason.
Well week two he did. And I got to go
to Rodney first because I just said uttered USC and
immediately you're just like I got to talk about Kleb Williams.
Speaker 5 (04:50):
Woul Jamaica his MATI here too.
Speaker 3 (04:52):
You can look to your right.
Speaker 5 (04:59):
Involuntary response is what I have here. I thought it
was fantastic. I'm with you, Kyle. Not quite to the
Super Bowl parade yet, but I love the fact that
he was on time in rhythm and because that was enough,
right that he held the ball too long, like you mentioned,
sacks sixty four times last year, most in the NFL,
but every throw was in rhythm. He hit the back foot,
(05:20):
he let it go. He looked very comfortable, very comfortable
in the pocket. And you know, there was a tremendous
amount of pressure on him to start this game, given
all the talk in the training cap and him not
performing well throwing interceptions and all those things. But to
come out firing on that first drive like you did,
I thought it was fantastic.
Speaker 6 (05:39):
Yeah, Rodney, I think it was fantastic, and only by him,
by by Ben Johnson. You started to see the system
implemented that Ben Johnson wants to run with him. You
took to your point you said the ball came out
when his back foot hit the grass. That's something that's
different from last year. I think last year they were
requiring him to go through a progression that it wasn't
set up where this year, when I looked at the plays,
(06:01):
all of his progression was in his line of sight.
Like his first read, his secondary and his third read
were all in the same area. So it made it
simple for him to be able to execute. For the
Chicago Bears, I did think that it was a little early.
I thought they pulled them a little early. I thought,
if if anything, they would have pulled them after the
first drive where they drove down there and scored that touchdown.
Speaker 4 (06:20):
Now the second drive they go six plays and a punt.
Speaker 6 (06:24):
I expected him to come back out just so that
they could finish on a more positive note.
Speaker 4 (06:30):
But what I did see.
Speaker 6 (06:31):
From that Bears offense was this, like you saw in
the highlight that KB talked about, There's a lot of
tight end utilage there. There's a lot of tight end
usage like it was just Comet and the guy from Michigan.
Speaker 7 (06:41):
There's you see guy here?
Speaker 4 (06:43):
What are we talking about on this?
Speaker 6 (06:49):
It was warm and fuzzy for the Chicago Bears, that's
for sure. And I really thought that the way that
Ben Johnson had this offense, just how quick it was.
There was a pace from when they broke the huddle.
There was an urgency to get to the line of scrimmage.
There wasn't any kind of shuffling around. There was a
system to it. And I really liked it.
Speaker 1 (07:06):
KB listen mantis all over it. So if you didn't
watch the game. Caleb played two drives. The second one
ended prematurely, at least for Bears fans, not in no
small parts of the fact that Roma Dunes they had
a big drop on the far sideline, a drop that
Caleb took responsibility for, even though we all know that.
Speaker 4 (07:22):
Wasn't true, which is fine.
Speaker 1 (07:23):
The headline here is Caleb and Ben Johnson look smooth,
They look efficient, they look comfortable, they looked good.
Speaker 4 (07:29):
Let's put this in proper context.
Speaker 1 (07:31):
This is the first time Caleb has ever played on
an NFL field without an interim coach or an ill
suited coach with like a proper coach to his skills.
The last time he played a game, it was seven
months ago. He was with his third coordinator, his second
head coach. He's in Lambeau Field, winning, by the way,
but this has been a long time coming.
Speaker 4 (07:50):
And listen. He hit both tight ends, he.
Speaker 1 (07:52):
Hit the wide receivers. He hit the wide receiver. One
went to the wide receiver, two went to wide receiver.
Speaker 4 (07:56):
Three. It's something you could need. It was smooth. Getting
the play in and out of the huddle was smooth.
Everything was on time.
Speaker 1 (08:03):
There try to the line of scrimmage with tons of
time on the play clock, and some of you winning teams,
winning fans of winning teams.
Speaker 4 (08:10):
Are like, what the heck they get the playout on time.
Speaker 1 (08:13):
Yes, it's a big deal that the Bear's got the
playout on time. Give them credit. It's baby steps. You
gotta crawl before you can run, and he definitely crawled yesterday.
Speaker 4 (08:22):
Now listen, I will say this for Bills fans.
Speaker 1 (08:25):
There was nobody really out there, say for maybe two
or three guys out of twenty two, who are guys
who are gonna matter for the Bills this year. Sean
McDermott did not play really.
Speaker 4 (08:35):
Anybody on offense.
Speaker 1 (08:36):
On defense, it was true, true backup that the Bears
ones were going against. So that's why I was thirty
eight to nothing. None of us care about the score.
We care about what we're watching right here.
Speaker 8 (08:46):
And I will end.
Speaker 1 (08:47):
By saying, there's this person out there, this character in
the preseason who is who will just scrooge anything positive
or happy that you have to say about what happens
on a football field. It's such an annoying Internet character
because for that person, this is the same person who's
making fun of kaybe a few weeks ago. Understand the
laws right now in the NFL preseason August twenty twenty five.
(09:09):
If someone doesn't look great in practice, they're a bust.
But if someone makes plays in an actual preseason.
Speaker 4 (09:16):
Game, whoa chill out. It's just preseason. It means not
they learn ball.
Speaker 1 (09:21):
This is useless. He got to pick one. You can't
have both. I know you want to, but you can't.
Caleb look smooth. The Bears look fine. We'll see how
they look on that same field opening night against the Vikings.
Speaker 3 (09:32):
Well, Kyle, to your point, Caleb Williams rose to the
occasion whatever standard in which you set upon the occasion
that is preseason football, Brodney, I'll ask you.
Speaker 2 (09:40):
We were spending time last week.
Speaker 3 (09:41):
On in inspecting the things that Ben Johnson was saying
about what he had put forth in front of Caleb Williams,
which is I am going to load him up.
Speaker 2 (09:49):
I'm going to put a lot of things on him.
Speaker 3 (09:50):
I really want to make challenge him to see what
he can do with that in terms of his skill set.
What did you make of the responsibility that this new
head coach, first times head coach, has put on this
quarterback and the way that Caleb Williams has responded.
Speaker 5 (10:02):
I thought it was a good thing because is you
got to find out what he can do. You got
to find out what his capacity is to load and
decipher information, and to put that much on him early on.
It makes sense because Caleb's got a world of talent.
We all saw that at SC and then his first
year he struggled, and I think he got into a
(10:22):
little bit of bad habits his last year at USC
tried to play a little bit of hero ball and
trying to do too much and holding the ball a
little longer. That doesn't work in the NFL, as we
saw last year in his rookie season and ended up
with sixty plus sacks. So I thought it was good.
And Ben Johnson, he's quarterback friendly, as we like to
say as quarterbacks.
Speaker 4 (10:41):
He really is.
Speaker 6 (10:42):
Yeah, you talked about those habits and this is what
I talked about as well when you watch Caleb, and
I thought that it was going to be.
Speaker 4 (10:48):
A challenge for Ben Johnson. Probably the most important challenge is.
Speaker 6 (10:51):
Trying to reprogram Caleb like somebody who has all of
that talent, arm talent smart can add lib on the
run when you get sack sixty eight times, and you
get into this habit of trying to run around and
extend plays. That Ben Johnson had to come into the
locker room and say, hey, like take the first read.
If the read is throw it away. Like, just get
(11:13):
him on a system and on a pace where he
can just be on point. There's no there's no need
to run around, there's no need to extend plays.
Speaker 4 (11:21):
Just get the ball to the receiver. If it's not there,
throw it away.
Speaker 6 (11:24):
And I thought that Caleb really demonstrated that last night.
Speaker 1 (11:28):
I think one of the most the most amusing observations
from Bear's Twitter last night is that Ben Johnson is
some sort of sociopath. He's up thirty eight to nothing
at home and he's not even smiling, like on the
cutaways of him on the sideline are dead serious, no levity,
no relief whatsoever. Let's remember, like we're talking so much
about Caleb, Caleb is way more experience than his job
(11:50):
than Ben Johnson, isn't his Caleb has a year under
his belt. This this was like positively this look.
Speaker 4 (11:56):
What was amused.
Speaker 1 (11:57):
This was like one of his most happiest looks we
saw at thirty.
Speaker 4 (12:00):
Eight to nothing.
Speaker 1 (12:01):
Ben Johnson has never called plays during a game.
Speaker 4 (12:04):
To Caleb, he's never been the head coach.
Speaker 1 (12:06):
Saved for a preseason game last week, and I thought
what Caleb said after the game was really interesting. All
the Bears media was asking him, what was coach Johnson
like during the game, what was he like? And Caleb said,
he's way calmer during the games than he is during
practice when he's on me in the headset. In practice,
it's a lot of yellinging and volume and energy.
Speaker 4 (12:25):
In the game, it was just smooth and calm. That
is unusual.
Speaker 1 (12:30):
He should be amped. He's in front of the home crowd.
He's got Caleb out there. I think this is a
different kind of guy. Will it work or not, We'll see.
But he does have that like my pulse doesn't bounce.
A fly could land on my eyeball, And when Caleb's
out there, I'm not even gonna blink.
Speaker 4 (12:45):
I like that.
Speaker 1 (12:46):
It's icy as hell, and I think there's going to
be more of a coming. Kyle.
Speaker 2 (12:49):
I did the same thing.
Speaker 3 (12:50):
I found myself watching and studying Ben Johnson's face and
body language to the point where Kyle we just had
that screen of him and he looked very serious in that.
I go back to the press conference, the one in
which he walked out in front of everybody, and Kyler,
I'm having this memory that you even were dissecting the
way his golf pants looked and the way he took
to the crowd and what he said.
Speaker 2 (13:11):
I translate this all the way to a different shot
of his face.
Speaker 3 (13:14):
Oddly, we're starting our show with looking at Ben Jonson's face,
But here we are. This is how much we care
about Chicago Bears. He looked here, I say, kind kind
of confident and cocky, if you will.
Speaker 1 (13:23):
In a good way.
Speaker 3 (13:24):
It matches the way he appeared in that first press
conference when he was hired at a Hiss coach.
Speaker 4 (13:29):
Yeah, he's got a switch.
Speaker 1 (13:31):
He showed up to the press conference, was adorable, family
and his wife and kids in this immaculate press He
looked like a golf.
Speaker 4 (13:37):
Pro, you know, like your local golf pro.
Speaker 1 (13:40):
And then he showed up to the press conference and
started talking and called out Matt Lafleur and did I
think this guy's nuts?
Speaker 4 (13:45):
And I mean that in a good way.
Speaker 1 (13:47):
I mean, let's remember, like his guy is Dan Campbell.
Speaker 4 (13:49):
Was this guy Campbell's completely.
Speaker 1 (13:51):
Nuts, and this is the guy he coached under. And
so he's sitting there like with that's crazy. Like he
looked like a Napoleon or something in some painting when
he's up thirty eight to nothing at home. I like it.
I'm into it. It wasn't too big for him. I
like a guy who's a little bit nuts. The Bears
need that absolutely well.
Speaker 3 (14:08):
Speaking of Caleb Williams being the quarterback that was most
sacked last season, he is hoping to not be at
the top of that list. Someone who gets after quarterbacks
plenty of times throughout last season was Cincinnati Bengals defender
Trey Hendrickson.
Speaker 2 (14:19):
News from over the.
Speaker 3 (14:20):
Weekend emerged that the Bengals are actively having conversations. I
guess with teams around the league. We need more information
on this. Tom pellisera our NHOL network joining US insider
joining us this morning. Tom, what's the latest on Trey
Hendrickson and the.
Speaker 8 (14:33):
Bengals, Well, Jamie.
Speaker 9 (14:34):
Contract talks between Trey Henderson and the Bengals remain at
an impass and Cincinnati is listening to trade.
Speaker 8 (14:42):
Offers for their four.
Speaker 9 (14:44):
Time Pro Bowl defensive end. Now, I want to be clear,
no trade is imminent. They're not going to give him away.
But this is a rarity.
Speaker 8 (14:52):
The NFL's raining.
Speaker 9 (14:53):
Sack leader is available for the right price. Right now,
Hendrickson remains with the team. They got a game tonight
in Washington. He is on that trip. Decide to have
been in an agreement for several weeks on the big number,
the years and the money in terms of a new
contract extension. But the Bengals to this point have been
unwilling to do what they did for Joe Burrow and
Jamar Chase, which is break their structure and give guarantees
(15:17):
beyond the twenty twenty five season. So what would it
take to get a Trey Hendrickson trade done again a
player who wants a multi year commitment. Well back before
the draft, the Bengals had an offer on the table.
There was a second round pick and change. At that time,
they weren't willing to engage with that.
Speaker 8 (15:34):
They wanted a first rounder.
Speaker 9 (15:36):
My understanding is that the price has softened or at
least changed a little bit.
Speaker 8 (15:40):
At this point.
Speaker 9 (15:41):
The Bengals would want a player, somebody who maybe could
even replace some of the production they got from Trey Hendrickson,
as well as a pick in the twenty twenty sixth draft.
Is someone willing to step up and meet that price.
That remains me seeing the Bengals don't do a whole
lot of trades for Hendrickson one way or another.
Speaker 8 (15:59):
He expects to get paid.
Speaker 9 (16:00):
He has made clear that much publicly, and even though
the Bengals don't those future guarantees, it makes sense.
Speaker 8 (16:06):
He's thirty years old. He's also a.
Speaker 9 (16:07):
Player who has not missed the game, as thirty five
sacks over the past couple of seasons, showing no signs
of slowing down. There is interest around the league and
potentially Trey Henderson being on the move.
Speaker 1 (16:18):
This would only be the second time in history tom
that the NFL sack leader is traded the very next season,
the first time being when the Chiefs traded Jared Allen
to the Vikings. It's unbelievably rare, and I feel like
Bengals fans are exasperated to add to that or maybe
diffuse it.
Speaker 4 (16:35):
It's August eighteenth.
Speaker 1 (16:37):
How does that complicate getting a trade done? Getting a
deal done like the opener is coming. How does that
affect the viability of us waking up and seeing tomorrow
that you're telling us Trey Henderson's been traded.
Speaker 9 (16:49):
Well, it's a great point in terms of the history
on this, because Jared Allen was traded. There were a
bunch of different reasons. He had had some off the
field things. They weren't willing to make a commitment for
the Vikings. They thought that was something that was going
to take them forward, setting up what occurred i believe
sixteen years ago today, which was the acquisition of Prett
Farvan a two year contract to the run to the
NFC Championship Game. We also saw this about seven years
(17:11):
ago with Khalil Mack where he became available around this
same time of year, and it was a similar type
of situation in terms of the Raiders simply weren't willing
to pay the type of price on a contract that
Khalil Mack wanted. John Gruden thought, hey, we're going to
be able to rebuild the roster by getting what ended
up being multiple first dround picks. They did send a
two back to Chicago as part of that deal. But
(17:32):
it is possible the issue becomes it's August, it's not April.
You can't go out and draft the replacement for Trey Hendrickson.
Though the Bengals kind of did that in acquiring Shamar Stewart,
it's a lot harder right now to replace that production.
Speaker 8 (17:46):
That's part of where the price Kyle.
Speaker 9 (17:48):
Has shifted here in terms of the Bengals not being
hardline anymore in terms of we have to get a
first round pick.
Speaker 8 (17:54):
Maybe now it's a different.
Speaker 9 (17:56):
Defensive end that you think you can get some sack
production from, and let's say a third round pick something.
Speaker 8 (18:00):
In that type of area.
Speaker 9 (18:02):
Here, it is complicated, but the entire situation is complicated
because right now, again the Bengals and Trey Hendrickson, they've
had the big numbers in place.
Speaker 8 (18:11):
We can talk about the average per year.
Speaker 9 (18:13):
The new deal would put him among the highest paid
pass rushers. He would not reset that market. They simply
have been intractable in terms of the guarantees.
Speaker 8 (18:21):
From the team's perspective, it's.
Speaker 9 (18:23):
Hey, if in twenty twenty seven the guy's falling off
and he's thirty two to thirty three years old, we
don't want to be on the hook for that money.
For Trey Hendrickson, He's going what reason have I given
you to believe that I'm going to fall off the map?
It is a complicated situation. We'll see if it advances,
but I can tell you there are several teams over
the past several days that have checked in with the Bengals.
There have been talks. It's not anywhere close to a
(18:45):
deal actually getting done, but at this point, unless either
Trey Hendrickson or the Bengals move in terms of the money,
we're looking at a trade or potentially a scenario where
a player who's due about sixty and a half million
dollars in the last year of his contract will have
a choice of do I want to go out there
and play on that number or give what hendricks has
said in the past, maybe even missing games to continue
(19:07):
to try to get the type of contract and maybe
a new team that he wants.
Speaker 2 (19:09):
Tom well done.
Speaker 3 (19:10):
Yeah, I can imagine other teams are like, we'll take
on your complication named Trey Hendrickson. We'll have him on
our defense, and what do you need for him? The
Bengals are actively listening, Tom Peli, Sarah, thank you so much.
Have we reached the point of no return for this
Trey Hendrickson Bengals relationship?
Speaker 2 (19:24):
Manton?
Speaker 6 (19:25):
I don't think so, but I do think that It's
a smart move by the Bengals. And the reason why
is when I first heard the news, I was like, man,
what are we doing Bengals? Why aren't you? Why are
we making this thing happen? And then I watched the
first Pieceason game against the Eagles, and in the first
two series that all of their starters were in, the
Eagles went fifteen plays for one hundred and twenty twenty
one hundred twenty two yards and ten points. If I'm
(19:49):
the Bengals, I'm looking at this situation like I need
more help than just Trey, Like I need more guys.
And the fact that they're trying to get a player
and a pick in the trade for trade, it solidifies
that thought in my mind that the front office over
there in Cincinnati is saying, and all of the questions
and the holes we have on this defense cannot be
filled by one guy, Like, if we can't come to
(20:10):
a resolution on this contract talk, let's try to figure
out what we can get in exchange room so we
can feel many the many holes.
Speaker 4 (20:17):
That we have on this defense.
Speaker 6 (20:19):
So at first my reaction was, now, what are we
doing over there in Cincinnati? But then as I saw
them play against guys that they weren't playing Agains, Jalen Hurts,
no Taquon, They're playing against Tanner McKee, Bill Shipley and
Johan Dotson, and they put up twenty four points in
the first half on them.
Speaker 4 (20:33):
So that's that's my react.
Speaker 6 (20:34):
I thought it was I understand where the Cincinnati Bengals
are going from and it's.
Speaker 3 (20:37):
Not a departure from how the Bengals defense looked class
season there So this is a reality that's been in
place for quite some time for Cincinnati.
Speaker 2 (20:44):
Listen.
Speaker 3 (20:44):
NFL Fantasy Live is back tonight. Patrick Cleavan, Adam Rank,

Speaker 10 (20:58):
Coming up next, Juicy Jackson dart over the weekend received
first team snaps with the off he threw for a touchdown.
Speaker 3 (21:06):
He had a little celebration at the camera he ran
for one two. Kyle, how about a home debut for
the rookie quarterback in front of his rookie, his Giants
fans on the home field.
Speaker 2 (21:15):
Oh Davie loves it.
Speaker 4 (21:18):
Russ is our starter. Russ is our starter.
Speaker 1 (21:20):
Just Ash coach davill It used to saying that one coach,
it's a good problem to have when they keep asking
you about the rookie.
Speaker 4 (21:26):
All right, how about this. I want see something I
see bring it up.
Speaker 1 (21:31):
Yeah, that's Tom Brady in a very Al Davis looking jacket.
That is a cool, cool jacket tone perfect from the goat.
Speaker 4 (21:40):
We're gonna talk about this. We're gonna talk about the Raiders.
Speaker 1 (21:42):
We're talking about their rookie running back who turns out
might just not be a bus dummies. Good morning football
on a Monday, nothing like it.
Speaker 4 (21:58):
Good morning football.
Speaker 8 (22:01):
All right.
Speaker 3 (22:01):
Philosophical decision whether or not you want to play your
starters in Week two with the preseason ravens off not
too Cowboys players and starters in pads, but they didn't
play either.
Speaker 2 (22:10):
You saw Lamar, you saw Dak.
Speaker 3 (22:11):
But here's Joe Milton who got the star for Dallas.
First quarter, no score, Cowboys, third and fourteen from.
Speaker 2 (22:15):
Their own tree.
Speaker 3 (22:16):
Hello, Joe Milton sacked in the end zone for a safety.
Speaker 2 (22:20):
That's key On Martin, an undrafted.
Speaker 3 (22:21):
Rookie out of Louisiana Lapayette Ravens take a lead two
nothing wrote a prolific score.
Speaker 2 (22:25):
Here we go. Cooper Rush drops back.
Speaker 3 (22:28):
He tries to find Andrew Lejonte Webster excuse me, intercepted
by Andrew Booth takes it all the way back for
a touchdown, carrying a ball like an absolute pro harbuff frustrated.
Speaker 1 (22:39):
Now.
Speaker 3 (22:39):
Part of the Ravens offseason was the news that they
had to release Justin Tucker back in May. So they
drafted Tyler Loop, who grew up just outside of Dallas.
In the sixth round. His family was on hand. This
is Loop in the second quarter. Split's see uprights. Luke
hit two field goals from fifty plus. He was five
for six on the day. Loop there, it is is
what the sign said. Ravens would this win this one?
Speaker 2 (23:00):
Kyle thirty one thirteen.
Speaker 4 (23:03):
Tag teams back again.
Speaker 1 (23:05):
Justin fields the Jets quarterback Garrett Wilson was his receiver
in college. That doesn't help him there, that was incomplete.
Speaker 4 (23:11):
This ain't the horseshoe, folks.
Speaker 1 (23:13):
This is his met life in the stupid Bowl and
he won hops it there. Aaron Glenn has questions, so
to Jets fans, Russell Wilson is the starter just asks
his head coach and he comes out here seeing real
action on the same field. He want absolutely blasted the
Peyton manning Bronco's in a.
Speaker 4 (23:27):
Terrible super Bowl.
Speaker 1 (23:28):
This time it's Bo Collins, Bo Collins, Au ex Collins.
They tackle him and it would result in a Devin
singletary touchdown. Starters out there for the Giants. Ross says,
I'm going back. I'm going to Boa Collins again this time. No,
he wasn't counting on Quantes Stiggers to intercept it in
the end zone. Russ was four to seven with an
(23:51):
interception one hundred eight patches. But here we go El
Fuotpuro Jackson Dart and he throws one to who. Greg
Dulsic got it, touchdown.
Speaker 4 (24:02):
Twenty yard variety.
Speaker 1 (24:03):
Giants lead fourteen sick, but who cares about the score?
Speaker 4 (24:06):
Jackson Dart agett He's gonna throw it to who. Juice Weells.
This highlight of great names.
Speaker 1 (24:12):
J Squells, juking, Juice sne doing it all down to
the one yard line.
Speaker 4 (24:17):
Guess what happens next? The rook says, I got it.
Josh Push No.
Speaker 1 (24:21):
Old fashioned conventional quarterbacks meet. Protest says, come on, put
me in I can start.
Speaker 4 (24:26):
Is that easy there? Ruk Dave, but we're gonna talk
about it.
Speaker 1 (24:30):
He had this place going, Jackson Dart met life has
not had a lot to cheer about for the last
I don't know, ten years. But they do win the
Snoopy Bowl, if you care. More importantly, they win the
the Optics Bowl with Jackson Dart and Russell Wilson looking
better than justin fields.
Speaker 4 (24:44):
We'll see how that watches out. Guys.
Speaker 11 (24:47):
I'm just trying to improve myself each and every day.
The quarterback room has played at a very high level.
You know, a lot of the like the guys in
my room who I really look up to, so I
try to continue to pick their brains. And I'm in
a really unique and cool situation right now. So I'm
just trying to learn from them, learn from all my coaches,
and you know, whenever my my number is called, you know,
I think that you know, I'm just going to try
(25:08):
to do my best, but you know, I'm also just
going to be the best teammate that I can be
and try to push his team in the best direction
to win really well. In the preseason here you're talking
about Jackson Stones again.
Speaker 4 (25:19):
You've honly said Russ's the starter. Is there anything he
can do to get himself in that mixed.
Speaker 3 (25:24):
At this point?
Speaker 4 (25:25):
Yeah, Russ is our starter and we're going to keep developing.
Speaker 2 (25:27):
Jackson, Say say it again, Kyle, what is it? What
is the quote? Russ is the start?
Speaker 4 (25:33):
Quote, Jamie, I have so many quotes in my head.
I have no idea. Where's that chemistry you tune in for? Guys?
I don't know.
Speaker 2 (25:41):
Rons is the starter?
Speaker 3 (25:42):
Say it again?
Speaker 10 (25:43):
Say until we're blue in the face, man, Tie all right,
Jackson Dart, it only works.
Speaker 2 (25:50):
I guess if you're at the table.
Speaker 1 (25:51):
Huh, dang it.
Speaker 4 (25:52):
I know where you're going on. Then is this starter?
Speaker 1 (25:58):
Oh? Man?
Speaker 3 (25:58):
All right, well, Russ is the starter, Jackson Dart, look great, man, Ti.
The giants have a real quandary on their hands, not
quantas siggers, quandary.
Speaker 4 (26:04):
Quandary. I don't know quandary. What does quandary mean? We
talked some stuff on here, guys.
Speaker 6 (26:11):
Okay, all right, let me just let me let me
get this car back on the tracks.
Speaker 2 (26:15):
Quandary do they have do they have a puzzle? They
have an issue that's laundry.
Speaker 5 (26:20):
I got an issue usc undry, whatever, whatever, whatever.
Speaker 6 (26:27):
Okay, I got I got an issue, and this is this.
I picked the Jets last last week to have more
wins than the Giants.
Speaker 4 (26:33):
Okay, I'm sorry. I take it back. I take it back.
Speaker 6 (26:37):
Okay, I watched the Giants, all right, I took it back.
Speaker 4 (26:40):
Ab all right, we make mistakes.
Speaker 2 (26:42):
We're so confident.
Speaker 6 (26:42):
I was, and then I watched I watched that game,
and I'm like, Okay, this Giants team just looks different.
Speaker 4 (26:48):
They played.
Speaker 6 (26:48):
I think that was one of the most physical games
that I've ever seen from both teams, but especially the Giants. Now,
you do have a situation where you're playing with this physicality,
you're playing with the attitude, and you still don't have
certain guys in there. You still don't have sex DEXI
in there, you still don't have maligue neighbors in there.
Who's really the guy who likes this whole thing up
(27:09):
for them?
Speaker 4 (27:10):
I do. I do think that it is such.
Speaker 6 (27:12):
A benefit and a luxury to have Russell Wilson there,
and for Russell Wilson.
Speaker 4 (27:16):
To be playing good football. He did hit Bo.
Speaker 6 (27:20):
Collins out there, who went to the University of Notre
Dame on this bomb right there. So I'm glad that
we were able to get some representation on a big
stage over there in MetLife Stadium.
Speaker 4 (27:29):
But I really felt that the way that Russell Wilson.
Speaker 6 (27:32):
Played this weekend was was reminiscent of the Seattle Seahawks
Russell Wilson and that is so that that that's so
nice for the Giants and Brian day Ball. So you
can let Jackson Dart just mature and let him be
able to grow so that when you do let him loose,
that he's ready to go running.
Speaker 5 (27:49):
Yeah, I think he's Jackson Dart is a tremendous talent.
I think he played in a great system at Old
Miss and by the way, he started his career at USC,
so I got to get that shout out before he
went to Old Miss. But they're in a good situation.
I think we're seeing what Brian Dable can do as
a play caller, as an offensive coordinator calling plays. It
(28:10):
kind of reminds me if you remember when Russ was
a rookie back in Seattle. They had signed I believe
Matt Flynn to be their starter and signed him to
a big contract. Russ blew him away in training camp.
Speaker 2 (28:25):
In three seasons.
Speaker 5 (28:26):
Yeah, and ended up being the starter. Pete Carroll said, no,
he's our guy as a rookie, so this could be
the same situation. I don't know if David was willing
to pull that trigger just yet, because once you start
with Jackson Dart it's hard to go back back. So
I like the attitude of where they're going with starting
with Russ. See how it goes, because you know in
(28:47):
New York, if they go one and three or one
at whatever it is, they're gonna be calling for Jackson
real soon.
Speaker 4 (28:53):
It's a great example with Russ.
Speaker 1 (28:55):
The perception of Russ at the time was this kind
of short guy from Wisconsin who played baseball too.
Speaker 4 (29:00):
He didn't have this big profile.
Speaker 1 (29:01):
And he showed up and just could ball imediately in practice,
immediately in the preseason games, he just had it.
Speaker 4 (29:07):
Matt Netflinn had.
Speaker 1 (29:08):
Signed the contract and they said, I don't care. That
kid is so good, we can't keep him off the field.
I love that idea of history repeating itself, and Giants
fans are and should be really excited about Jackson Dark.
It's not just that he looks the part, that he
looks comfortable. He's got style to him, whatever you want
to call it, flair, panag, swag, or he just has it.
Speaker 4 (29:30):
He looks very.
Speaker 1 (29:31):
Cool out there. He's not going to start the opener.
It's not going to happen.
Speaker 4 (29:35):
I don't care what he.
Speaker 1 (29:35):
Does in the next preseason game. I don't know what
care what he does in practice. Let me explain why.
First of all, simple scheduling stuff. The Giants have a
brutal opening to the season at Washington at Dallas home
Kansas City on national television, Home Chargers. You want your
veteran out there. You do not want to throw the
rookie to the dogs.
Speaker 4 (29:53):
The other thing is history, guys.
Speaker 1 (29:55):
You have to remember so Brian Dable's been through this
before a little bit. Brian Davile was the Bills offensive
coordinator when they had another first round rookie and it
was Josh Allen who they traded up to get. Yet
Josh Allen did not start the opener in his first
year for the Buffalo Bills.
Speaker 4 (30:09):
Nathan Peterman did. Nathan Peterman was the starter.
Speaker 1 (30:12):
You can look it up and Josh Allen athletic, big
arm everything, and they're like no, no, no, no, no no no.
The only way that Josh Allen got on the field.
Was Peterman was out there losing forty to nothing shortly
into the season, and they said, all right, put him
out there, and then Alan revealed himself that was Nathan Peterman.
Do respect, this is Russell Wilson. He's not going to
do that. Russell Wilson is going to keep the train.
Speaker 4 (30:31):
On the tracks. He's going to run the offense. It's
going to be the starter. He was already asked afterwards.
And I know, I bet.
Speaker 1 (30:37):
When Jackson Dart was scoring that touchdown or throwing the
ball all around the other day over the weekend, I
bet David was on the side and just a little
part of him was like, ah, here we go, here
we go.
Speaker 4 (30:45):
I know these questions are going to start coming.
Speaker 1 (30:47):
And sure enough, he's asked right after the game, is
Jackson Darter can he play himself into the starting role
for the first seat for the first week. He immediately says,
Russ is our starter. We're going to continue developing Jackson.
Let's remember that, guys, Giants fans for the next couple
of weeks. That's the SoundBite. Russ is our starter. We're
developing Jackson. He will not start the opener. No matter
what happens short of an injury. The question is, especially
(31:10):
with that gauntlet, guys at start, if the Giants are
one and two, if they're zero to three, do you say,
let's go, baby, let's ignite this thing. I wonder what
the leash is. I think personally, Jackson Dart's starting week
over under is about four point five week four point
five before he's out there. I just don't know if
Rus still has it. The schedule is tough, and as
(31:32):
good as Jackson Dart's looking, there'll.
Speaker 4 (31:34):
Be a pressure.
Speaker 3 (31:34):
Well, I'm glad we got there eventually with the Russ
is our starter. Kyle, I do have to ask you,
as someone who lives in the area, you live amongst
Giants fans in your neighborhood. You know Jackson Dart has
this way about him.
Speaker 2 (31:47):
You mentioned it.
Speaker 3 (31:47):
It's like the styles how he dresses, it's the way
he's addressing the crowd in quite a charismatic way. What
is the feel about who he is as a human,
because this can go either way.
Speaker 1 (31:58):
Well, you're right, because he's the anti Eli right right,
I mean like he's not Daniel Jones showed up like, oh,
he's just like elized, this is perfect. Jackson Dart's like, nah,
I wear I black down one of my eyes because
it looks like Anakin Skywalker.
Speaker 4 (32:12):
I'm cool.
Speaker 1 (32:13):
I celebrate like my name is Jackson Dart. I am
like the opposite of everything they were supposed to say
in the archetype. I don't care, guys, if he shows
up with a pink mohawk and wear his chaps to camp,
they don't care.
Speaker 4 (32:28):
He want him just be able to play.
Speaker 1 (32:29):
If he's crazy rock star style, it doesn't matter. He
can play. He's cool and he listen.
Speaker 4 (32:34):
Let's be honest. He's everything Eli wasn't. He also everything
Russ is not.
Speaker 1 (32:38):
Russ is this vagabond guy who shows up right now,
who's been all around. He's basically a bounty hunter. He's
been on his four team in four years. You have
no attachment to the Giants fans or anything. This guy
is handpicked, home grown. There's going to be a pressure
to have him play again. I keep bringing it up.
It's not irrelevant. The Giants opening slate is terrible. There's
(32:59):
no rollout game, there's no warm up game. They're immediately
into the lions Den. Those games like that. Jackson Dart
thing is going to be really, really strong.
Speaker 3 (33:08):
Bears quarterback Kaya Williams saw his first preseason action in
Ben Johnson's offense, and it was something to watch. Everybody
was ready to silence the critics, especially Kayla Williams, who
led a seventh plate ninety two yard drive that ended
in this touchdown to Alamide Zechias.
Speaker 6 (33:23):
What those they're down for Chicago third and five William
zen Zio cinnamados Zeko's tax ten yo zone puts touched off.
Speaker 11 (33:33):
That opening drive is everything they've been preaching to Kayleb
Williams since they hired Ben Johnson.
Speaker 4 (33:39):
The Bears are back, baby.
Speaker 2 (33:41):
All right, coming up.
Speaker 3 (33:44):
It's Monday, and that means highlights at the breakfast table.
But specifically there's somebody at the breakfast table who will.
Speaker 2 (33:50):
Be reading their first highlights.
Speaker 3 (33:52):
I am soon to be handing a shop sheet if
prescious shot sheet over to Manti Tale he is at
the breakfast table, which means, oh, the responsibility grows, mant
are you ready?
Speaker 4 (34:04):
I'm as ready as already.
Speaker 2 (34:06):
I've got first It's next on LFE.
Speaker 6 (34:23):
Highlights me first, it says one minute. It's gonna be
the longest minute in my life. There's Travis Hunter. He
didn't play, but this guy did. Trevor Lawrence for the
second time this preseason.
Speaker 4 (34:32):
Trevor dross back.
Speaker 6 (34:34):
He sees his receiver Parker watching ten for seven yards
a seven yard touchdown. Trevor Lawrence would end the game
eight for ten seventy six yards, a TD and two drives.
Tyler Shuck is in there for the Saints. He got
to start this week. Tyler Shuck ended, he dropped back.
Speaker 8 (34:51):
He hits why isn't camera on me?
Speaker 1 (34:54):
Tray Ten Welch brom the University of my White homing
a cowboy.
Speaker 4 (34:59):
This is great TV, guys. Spencer Railroad come in the
second half though he started last week.
Speaker 6 (35:03):
Spencer rally last week with seven for eleven fifty seven yards.
Speaker 4 (35:06):
But in this case, he drops back and he hits
a former Washington Husky for a twenty yard touchdown.
Speaker 6 (35:12):
But they're still Trellie seventeen to fifteen. They would need
to go for two on this. Spencer Ratler takes the challenge,
drops back, doesn't see anybody, but sees the right corner
of the end zone and runs in there. At the
tightest game up seventeen to seventeen. Now the game that
end on an interception by Jonah Sanker.
Speaker 4 (35:31):
What a game it was for the Saints. Who's next,
Mad Night?
Speaker 2 (35:36):
Take a lap? Take a victory lap? Holy brap listen
Kevin O'Connell.
Speaker 3 (35:40):
The Vikings decided not to play their starters, but that
doesn't mean that the Patriots had to follow suit. Drake
May and the Patriots in Minnesota for preseason week two.
This is Drake May trying to find Mac Hollins a
twenty yard.
Speaker 2 (35:53):
Catch, tiptoe on the sideline.
Speaker 3 (35:55):
Choose on tiptoe important clarification with Matt Collins. They would
be done after two drives, who had finished four for
seven Three plays later, trainy On Henderson second round to.
Speaker 2 (36:03):
Take out of a state.
Speaker 3 (36:05):
He rushes up the god good for eleven yards. Henderson,
if you remember, return the opening kickoff in preseason week
one for one hundred yards.
Speaker 2 (36:12):
Here he is in the red zone. This is an
eight yard tz powering through into that Vikings Profol Trevon.
Speaker 3 (36:18):
Henderson, well done. Patriots take a seven nothing lead. Rabel
can't believe how Gooda's rookie is. Astonishing, right, Coach, He's
yours coming out of the backfield. That's a former first
team All Big Ten Conference winner, Patriots would.
Speaker 2 (36:30):
Go on to win twenty to twelve. Kyle Brandt, as
we send you elsewhere in the NFC North and the POLP.
Speaker 4 (36:36):
Yeah, yeah, let's go to the Hoosier State.
Speaker 1 (36:39):
Anthony Richardson dislocated his pinky. So we have Daniel Jones
out there, guys, in the middle of this real quarterback competition.
Daniel Jones Michael Pittman Junior.
Speaker 4 (36:50):
We'll take it.
Speaker 1 (36:51):
That's twenty two yards. Pittman's really good at those contested casses.
Just kets is just as pfth later in the drive
first intent, Daniel Jones. Here's the rook at Tyler Warren.
He's going to be busy this year. I don't know
yet if they are going to be good. Tyler Warren,
I think it's going to be very productive. He has
looked up heart in preseason. All right, Anthony Richardson out there, listen,
(37:11):
He's got to get out there. He's trying to win
this spot. Still his pinky's banged up, but guess what
he finds.
Speaker 4 (37:17):
Drew Ogletree for twenty one yards.
Speaker 8 (37:19):
Not bad.
Speaker 1 (37:20):
His head coach, Shane Stiking, Shane, are you gonna pull
the tray. Are you starting the season with Daniel Jones?
Speaker 4 (37:24):
Are you gonna do it? Just tell us, well, maybe
we still have to determine that.
Speaker 1 (37:28):
Tyler Goodson runs it in for three yards out. That
was six plays later, Coach leet tender nothing if you care.
Speaker 4 (37:33):
Anthony Richardson leads some touchdown drive. But watch this one.
Speaker 1 (37:36):
Richardson's gonna step up and chuck a beautiful pass to
Anthony Gold for the thirty eight yard completion. But here's
this little alignment penalty the wide receivers got us.
Speaker 4 (37:46):
But look how angry Anthony Richardson is. He wanted that one.
Speaker 1 (37:50):
He's trying to win this job. The good news is
it doesn't matter if it call brought back for a penalty.
He completed the pass. That's gonna be on tape. That's
all anybody cares about. Guys, we still don't know Daniel
Jones did start the game, looked all right, Probably gonna
be him, but who knows. You always get seduced by
that Anthony Richardson upside, don't you, Jamie?
Speaker 2 (38:07):
Absolutely, Kyle.
Speaker 3 (38:08):
It feels good to lighten the load a little bit,
take some responsibility off the plate of the reading of
the highlights and the shot sheets.
Speaker 2 (38:14):
How about our guy he passed the test. I think you.
Speaker 9 (38:20):
Don't.
Speaker 4 (38:20):
They're not supposed to be seen. You don't pull the
curtain back to see us.
Speaker 1 (38:23):
Read like a bunch of earth right.
Speaker 4 (38:25):
Here, some organically.
Speaker 1 (38:27):
So they dropped that on you, Manti, and you didn't
even blink.
Speaker 6 (38:30):
So glad that they did that because I understood what
this was about, like it was a hazing situation and
actually made me relax.
Speaker 4 (38:36):
I was like, let's go home, Yeah, let's flock it in.
And then I saw Jamie I had short a list
of mine. I'm like, what are we doing here?
Speaker 2 (38:42):
Guys like, don't throw these track above me?
Speaker 4 (38:45):
Want to do that again?
Speaker 2 (38:48):
No, there's no way, there's no way.
Speaker 3 (38:50):
Every weekend, there's a handful of things that happen where
we're all used to this term that the kids say, No,
there's no way that that actually just happened.
Speaker 2 (38:57):
So here we go. We gotta list.
Speaker 3 (38:59):
We each have a moment from pre season week two
that we want to review because there's no way it happened.
Speaker 1 (39:03):
Manton, There's no.
Speaker 4 (39:04):
Way this happened, but it did. Okay.
Speaker 6 (39:06):
Abdual Carter, the star rookie defensive end for the New
York Giants. Okay, he got chipped. You gotta chipped this
past weekend. That's okay, that's it right. Ooh, he's going
all over Twitter. Everybody was saying stuff he reacted to it,
had some explicit words in there.
Speaker 4 (39:22):
But listen, guys, it's it. I love this play. Here's
Abdul Carter's reaction to it. Yeah, he had to blur
some of it out.
Speaker 6 (39:29):
It's a kid at friendly show, guys, it's a kid
friendly show.
Speaker 7 (39:32):
But listen, that's the man. This is a great That
was a great football play. Okay, if we watch it play,
it's a great football play. Great play by the tight end,
great play by the tackle. I expect the tackle to
try to finish the defender.
Speaker 4 (39:43):
They do that all the time. But this is my question.
Was he not defenseless? Was abdul Carter not defenseless? He was, Okay,
he was.
Speaker 6 (39:52):
All I'm asking guys, is the stuff that we put
for offensive guys to protect them defenseless receivers.
Speaker 4 (39:58):
Let's let's carry that over to the defense. You know
what I mean, give us, give us a little bit.
Speaker 6 (40:02):
If you're not gonna do that, then don't put it
on an office.
Speaker 4 (40:04):
That's all I'm saying. Ronny, Wow, I'm real, That's all
I'm saying. Man, he just did he did, He really did.
There's no way.
Speaker 5 (40:12):
Moment is from the city of brotherly Love. Yes, Philadelphia,
the Browns are playing the Eagles, and typical filler fans
take a listen. Now it's free season in Philadelphia. They're
(40:38):
booing the Eagles, the home team in Philly. It's just
they're all ready for the regular season in Philadelphia.
Speaker 2 (40:45):
Really, no, we want to deny that emotionally from being
an end zone.
Speaker 1 (40:48):
Can't do that.
Speaker 2 (40:49):
I kind of want to deny this emotionally.
Speaker 3 (40:51):
It was very jarring to see a minority owner of
any team walk in and try to pay homage to.
Speaker 2 (40:57):
Maybe a former owner or the family.
Speaker 3 (40:59):
But the Tom Brady experience with the white al Dats
jacket walking up the tunnel, I was not prepared. I
was not prepared to see it with the shades and
the walk in.
Speaker 2 (41:09):
I mean, it looks great.
Speaker 3 (41:10):
But at the same time, Kyle, I mean this like
taps into like and I feel like I might need
NFL music under this film's music.
Speaker 1 (41:19):
Yeah, I just want to what out Davis was to
think I mean it's cool, but like that's Tom Brady
is responsible for one maybe the worst Raiders loss of
all time in the up rule game. I al Davis
might actually be spitting on the ground looking at this.
Speaker 4 (41:31):
Who knows. I think it's awesome.
Speaker 1 (41:32):
Great for you, Tom, pretty cool. All right, Listen, we
have to move on the end of the hour. I'm
just gonna throw to some videotape. Everybody likes this kind
of play, certainly Noah Eagle, who had the call go ahead.
Speaker 4 (41:43):
I'm the twenty five the Chargers. They send the rush
this time.
Speaker 2 (41:48):
Oh it's a big man interception.
Speaker 4 (41:50):
You are Edwards a defensive tackle back to midfield. Great
job by Edwards.
Speaker 1 (41:55):
And then you know he played a little running back
back in the day.
Speaker 4 (41:57):
Watch the feat run, big fellow run.
Speaker 2 (42:02):
That's not a fellow.
Speaker 3 (42:03):
You want to tackle a smaller quarterback.
Speaker 4 (42:07):
All right.
Speaker 1 (42:07):
It wasn't no ego, but it was tra Edwards. Unbelievable,
big man. And at the end of the fact that
he lowered the shoulder and did not just go out
of bounds. Listen, we see this more and more. Look
at him rush and then drop make a hands catch.
And now right here he says no no, no, no,
that makes you laugh on a Funday morning. You're right, Edwards,
(42:27):
I absolutely love you, big dude.
Speaker 4 (42:29):
He goes three oh five. That's the play of the
week for me.
Speaker 2 (42:33):
I can't believe the shoe me on that.
Speaker 6 (42:36):
Yeah, KB, that's an anger runs right there, KB, I
think he gonna be no, no, but no, that's an
anger run preseason.
Speaker 1 (42:43):
If it weren't for Ashton genty, we could send him
this after. But we'll get to the Raiders highlights in
a little bit. All kinds of things are happening there too, not.
Speaker 3 (42:51):
Just a guy walking into the game when the tunnel
with the al data jacket. We actually have Raiders highlights
coming on Good Morning Football next hour. Don't do it, Kyle, No,
it's just a warm huger.
Speaker 4 (43:02):
I just know I remember, Okay. Stuff stuff,
Good Morning Football is the production of the NFL in
partnership with iHeartRadio.
Speaker 2 (00:11):
Monday is Monday, which is a good thing. I'm Good
Morning Football presented by best Buy.
Speaker 3 (00:15):
I'm Jamiere at Almantito as always here in a lake.
Speaker 2 (00:18):
Joined us for the.
Speaker 3 (00:19):
First time longtime NFL quarterback Rodney Pete.
Speaker 2 (00:22):
We're so glad you're here.
Speaker 1 (00:23):
It's Upbriday having me.
Speaker 4 (00:26):
Thank you.
Speaker 3 (00:26):
We're so glad here. And that man down in the corner,
Kyle Brent back in New York. Kyle, how are you
up for the weekend. Great to see you last week
in LA.
Speaker 4 (00:34):
It's great to see Rodney here.
Speaker 1 (00:35):
And I'm actually I have to tell you, I'm only
staying for one segment. I'm getting out of jet after
this and going to Chicago for the Super Bowl parade.
They're having it at ten am the Central time in
downtown Chicago.
Speaker 4 (00:45):
I'm gonna be there. I'm gonna be fired up. Guys.
Speaker 1 (00:48):
Let's start the show. We got all kinds of highlights.
Let's talk.
Speaker 3 (01:05):
Welcome to Good Morning Football presented by Best Spot. That's right,
Jamie eardl Mantiteo, Kyle Brant, Rodney Pete, Kyle Brant, please
do what you do best and just whax poetic about
our guest here today, Rodney Pete, and any wonderful football
memories that you have of him, the fact that he's
our friend of the table.
Speaker 4 (01:22):
Everywhere I begin.
Speaker 1 (01:23):
I'm old enough to remember watching Rodney in the eighties
at usc running around the coliseum, making plays all over
the NFL. I loved him in Detroit. I loved him here.
I loved his family, I love his wife. I love
him now. I love him in the media.
Speaker 4 (01:36):
Rodney, You're a legend. We're looking at you and Wayne Vonty.
You take us back, Rodney.
Speaker 5 (01:41):
That's rookie years Detroit eighty.
Speaker 4 (01:44):
Nine, nineteen eighty.
Speaker 2 (01:45):
Wow, that's old, and that's look.
Speaker 4 (01:46):
At the footage.
Speaker 5 (01:47):
I don't think they had HD back then.
Speaker 1 (01:50):
Andrew death, Rodney, did.
Speaker 3 (01:53):
You come walking loaded with some stories today from your
playing days? But also you still watch the game the
same way you take in everybody across the league.
Speaker 5 (02:01):
You know what, I do watch the game, but I
watch it not as it's critical, okay, right, you know,
I watch it for the enjoyment, right, And I still
have a family member in the NFL. My brother coaches
for the Buck. So I'm vested in Tampa Bay.
Speaker 2 (02:14):
A little bit.
Speaker 3 (02:15):
Really, Well, that's all we do here. We're not very critical.
We're just a big, warm hug around football at all times.
Speaker 4 (02:20):
I like that.
Speaker 2 (02:20):
I now that's exactly what we do.
Speaker 3 (02:22):
Kyle, you have a beautiful thing that we like to
call a shot sheet in front of you. It's from
Bill's Bears and you said, apparently it's leading them right
to a Super Bowl parade.
Speaker 1 (02:30):
Well, Rodney, if you don't want to be critical, let
me show you the Ben Johnson offense. That'll be really easy.
Let's go to the land of the Stinking onion. That
is what Chicagua means in its native tongue.
Speaker 4 (02:41):
And here we go.
Speaker 1 (02:42):
Caleb Williams sex sixty four times last year. He's backed
up folloween his en SONA started his first drive of
the prese.
Speaker 4 (02:47):
Here's the first.
Speaker 1 (02:48):
Play for Caleb Williams under Ben Johnson. It's a bootleg
and it's to the rookie.
Speaker 4 (02:52):
Tight end coast in Lovelin and Michigan Man's Michigan Man.
That is an eight yard game.
Speaker 1 (02:57):
On the second places up the Ben Johnson era, Bam,
go to the other tight end that is cold comect
M E t.
Speaker 4 (03:05):
It feels like he's missing a vowel.
Speaker 1 (03:07):
But Williams was missing nothing in this game, not at all.
Speaker 5 (03:10):
Right.
Speaker 4 (03:10):
First and ten, as you go to DJ Moore, bam
out to the outside.
Speaker 1 (03:14):
There was pressure coming. He hit some six yard games,
No big deal. DJ Moore at ninety eight catches last year,
that was number one this year. Second and five, did
I say we got a rookie tight on in a
Michigan that I just said we I did. It's Coaston
Loveland again. They thought they were gonna take Tyler Warren
from Penn State. They said, no, we like Loveland and
we're not apologizing for it. Kayla Williams early on in
(03:37):
sync and here we go. Third and five, enemy territory.
Oh love a day zach Kius. Say it again, Chicago,
Oh love a day Zacchius.
Speaker 4 (03:46):
They call him oz o z.
Speaker 1 (03:48):
That is a thirty six yard touchdown and a bleep
in red brand of an opening drive for Kayleb Williams
against some guys who I don't know if they have
a long future with the Buffalo Bills, and by long future,
I'm not sure their bills this morning. But Ben Johnson
is smiling. It's against backup gives the damn. The Bears
go on to win this game thirty eight to bupkiss
(04:10):
if you care. Frank Gore Junior right there in the
in the stat line for the Bills, as well as
mister Bisky returning home.
Speaker 4 (04:16):
But the story here.
Speaker 1 (04:17):
Was all how did Caleb look under the Ben Johnson offense?
Speaker 4 (04:21):
And it was sterling.
Speaker 3 (04:22):
We got to throw a junior on there. Come on now,
thirty eight nothing bears a final. This is a great
night for Caleb Williams.
Speaker 1 (04:29):
Kyle.
Speaker 3 (04:29):
I did have just had to do my own olamide
Za Kias from Virginia just to make sure I understood
the history for that player. And we all know Cayle
Williams from USC didn't suit up week one of the preseason.
Well week two he did. And I got to go
to Rodney first because I just said uttered USC and
immediately you're just like I got to talk about Kleb Williams.
Speaker 5 (04:50):
Woul Jamaica his MATI here too.
Speaker 3 (04:52):
You can look to your right.
Speaker 5 (04:59):
Involuntary response is what I have here. I thought it
was fantastic. I'm with you, Kyle. Not quite to the
Super Bowl parade yet, but I love the fact that
he was on time in rhythm and because that was enough,
right that he held the ball too long, like you mentioned,
sacks sixty four times last year, most in the NFL,
but every throw was in rhythm. He hit the back foot,
(05:20):
he let it go. He looked very comfortable, very comfortable
in the pocket. And you know, there was a tremendous
amount of pressure on him to start this game, given
all the talk in the training cap and him not
performing well throwing interceptions and all those things. But to
come out firing on that first drive like you did,
I thought it was fantastic.
Speaker 6 (05:39):
Yeah, Rodney, I think it was fantastic, and only by him,
by by Ben Johnson. You started to see the system
implemented that Ben Johnson wants to run with him. You
took to your point you said the ball came out
when his back foot hit the grass. That's something that's
different from last year. I think last year they were
requiring him to go through a progression that it wasn't
set up where this year, when I looked at the plays,
(06:01):
all of his progression was in his line of sight.
Like his first read, his secondary and his third read
were all in the same area. So it made it
simple for him to be able to execute. For the
Chicago Bears, I did think that it was a little early.
I thought they pulled them a little early. I thought,
if if anything, they would have pulled them after the
first drive where they drove down there and scored that touchdown.
Speaker 4 (06:20):
Now the second drive they go six plays and a punt.
Speaker 6 (06:24):
I expected him to come back out just so that
they could finish on a more positive note.
Speaker 4 (06:30):
But what I did see.
Speaker 6 (06:31):
From that Bears offense was this, like you saw in
the highlight that KB talked about, There's a lot of
tight end utilage there. There's a lot of tight end
usage like it was just Comet and the guy from Michigan.
Speaker 7 (06:41):
There's you see guy here?
Speaker 4 (06:43):
What are we talking about on this?
Speaker 6 (06:49):
It was warm and fuzzy for the Chicago Bears, that's
for sure. And I really thought that the way that
Ben Johnson had this offense, just how quick it was.
There was a pace from when they broke the huddle.
There was an urgency to get to the line of scrimmage.
There wasn't any kind of shuffling around. There was a
system to it. And I really liked it.
Speaker 1 (07:06):
KB listen mantis all over it. So if you didn't
watch the game. Caleb played two drives. The second one
ended prematurely, at least for Bears fans, not in no
small parts of the fact that Roma Dunes they had
a big drop on the far sideline, a drop that
Caleb took responsibility for, even though we all know that.
Speaker 4 (07:22):
Wasn't true, which is fine.
Speaker 1 (07:23):
The headline here is Caleb and Ben Johnson look smooth,
They look efficient, they look comfortable, they looked good.
Speaker 4 (07:29):
Let's put this in proper context.
Speaker 1 (07:31):
This is the first time Caleb has ever played on
an NFL field without an interim coach or an ill
suited coach with like a proper coach to his skills.
The last time he played a game, it was seven
months ago. He was with his third coordinator, his second
head coach. He's in Lambeau Field, winning, by the way,
but this has been a long time coming.
Speaker 4 (07:50):
And listen. He hit both tight ends, he.
Speaker 1 (07:52):
Hit the wide receivers. He hit the wide receiver. One
went to the wide receiver, two went to wide receiver.
Speaker 4 (07:56):
Three. It's something you could need. It was smooth. Getting
the play in and out of the huddle was smooth.
Everything was on time.
Speaker 1 (08:03):
There try to the line of scrimmage with tons of
time on the play clock, and some of you winning teams,
winning fans of winning teams.
Speaker 4 (08:10):
Are like, what the heck they get the playout on time.
Speaker 1 (08:13):
Yes, it's a big deal that the Bear's got the
playout on time. Give them credit. It's baby steps. You
gotta crawl before you can run, and he definitely crawled yesterday.
Speaker 4 (08:22):
Now listen, I will say this for Bills fans.
Speaker 1 (08:25):
There was nobody really out there, say for maybe two
or three guys out of twenty two, who are guys
who are gonna matter for the Bills this year. Sean
McDermott did not play really.
Speaker 4 (08:35):
Anybody on offense.
Speaker 1 (08:36):
On defense, it was true, true backup that the Bears
ones were going against. So that's why I was thirty
eight to nothing. None of us care about the score.
We care about what we're watching right here.
Speaker 8 (08:46):
And I will end.
Speaker 1 (08:47):
By saying, there's this person out there, this character in
the preseason who is who will just scrooge anything positive
or happy that you have to say about what happens
on a football field. It's such an annoying Internet character
because for that person, this is the same person who's
making fun of kaybe a few weeks ago. Understand the
laws right now in the NFL preseason August twenty twenty five.
(09:09):
If someone doesn't look great in practice, they're a bust.
But if someone makes plays in an actual preseason.
Speaker 4 (09:16):
Game, whoa chill out. It's just preseason. It means not
they learn ball.
Speaker 1 (09:21):
This is useless. He got to pick one. You can't
have both. I know you want to, but you can't.
Caleb look smooth. The Bears look fine. We'll see how
they look on that same field opening night against the Vikings.
Speaker 3 (09:32):
Well, Kyle, to your point, Caleb Williams rose to the
occasion whatever standard in which you set upon the occasion
that is preseason football, Brodney, I'll ask you.
Speaker 2 (09:40):
We were spending time last week.
Speaker 3 (09:41):
On in inspecting the things that Ben Johnson was saying
about what he had put forth in front of Caleb Williams,
which is I am going to load him up.
Speaker 2 (09:49):
I'm going to put a lot of things on him.
Speaker 3 (09:50):
I really want to make challenge him to see what
he can do with that in terms of his skill set.
What did you make of the responsibility that this new
head coach, first times head coach, has put on this
quarterback and the way that Caleb Williams has responded.
Speaker 5 (10:02):
I thought it was a good thing because is you
got to find out what he can do. You got
to find out what his capacity is to load and
decipher information, and to put that much on him early on.
It makes sense because Caleb's got a world of talent.
We all saw that at SC and then his first
year he struggled, and I think he got into a
(10:22):
little bit of bad habits his last year at USC
tried to play a little bit of hero ball and
trying to do too much and holding the ball a
little longer. That doesn't work in the NFL, as we
saw last year in his rookie season and ended up
with sixty plus sacks. So I thought it was good.
And Ben Johnson, he's quarterback friendly, as we like to
say as quarterbacks.
Speaker 4 (10:41):
He really is.
Speaker 6 (10:42):
Yeah, you talked about those habits and this is what
I talked about as well when you watch Caleb, and
I thought that it was going to be.
Speaker 4 (10:48):
A challenge for Ben Johnson. Probably the most important challenge is.
Speaker 6 (10:51):
Trying to reprogram Caleb like somebody who has all of
that talent, arm talent smart can add lib on the
run when you get sack sixty eight times, and you
get into this habit of trying to run around and
extend plays. That Ben Johnson had to come into the
locker room and say, hey, like take the first read.
If the read is throw it away. Like, just get
(11:13):
him on a system and on a pace where he
can just be on point. There's no there's no need
to run around, there's no need to extend plays.
Speaker 4 (11:21):
Just get the ball to the receiver. If it's not there,
throw it away.
Speaker 6 (11:24):
And I thought that Caleb really demonstrated that last night.
Speaker 1 (11:28):
I think one of the most the most amusing observations
from Bear's Twitter last night is that Ben Johnson is
some sort of sociopath. He's up thirty eight to nothing
at home and he's not even smiling, like on the
cutaways of him on the sideline are dead serious, no levity,
no relief whatsoever. Let's remember, like we're talking so much
about Caleb, Caleb is way more experience than his job
(11:50):
than Ben Johnson, isn't his Caleb has a year under
his belt. This this was like positively this look.
Speaker 4 (11:56):
What was amused.
Speaker 1 (11:57):
This was like one of his most happiest looks we
saw at thirty.
Speaker 4 (12:00):
Eight to nothing.
Speaker 1 (12:01):
Ben Johnson has never called plays during a game.
Speaker 4 (12:04):
To Caleb, he's never been the head coach.
Speaker 1 (12:06):
Saved for a preseason game last week, and I thought
what Caleb said after the game was really interesting. All
the Bears media was asking him, what was coach Johnson
like during the game, what was he like? And Caleb said,
he's way calmer during the games than he is during
practice when he's on me in the headset. In practice,
it's a lot of yellinging and volume and energy.
Speaker 4 (12:25):
In the game, it was just smooth and calm. That
is unusual.
Speaker 1 (12:30):
He should be amped. He's in front of the home crowd.
He's got Caleb out there. I think this is a
different kind of guy. Will it work or not, We'll see.
But he does have that like my pulse doesn't bounce.
A fly could land on my eyeball, And when Caleb's
out there, I'm not even gonna blink.
Speaker 4 (12:45):
I like that.
Speaker 1 (12:46):
It's icy as hell, and I think there's going to
be more of a coming. Kyle.
Speaker 2 (12:49):
I did the same thing.
Speaker 3 (12:50):
I found myself watching and studying Ben Johnson's face and
body language to the point where Kyle we just had
that screen of him and he looked very serious in that.
I go back to the press conference, the one in
which he walked out in front of everybody, and Kyler,
I'm having this memory that you even were dissecting the
way his golf pants looked and the way he took
to the crowd and what he said.
Speaker 2 (13:11):
I translate this all the way to a different shot
of his face.
Speaker 3 (13:14):
Oddly, we're starting our show with looking at Ben Jonson's face,
But here we are. This is how much we care
about Chicago Bears. He looked here, I say, kind kind
of confident and cocky, if you will.
Speaker 1 (13:23):
In a good way.
Speaker 3 (13:24):
It matches the way he appeared in that first press
conference when he was hired at a Hiss coach.
Speaker 4 (13:29):
Yeah, he's got a switch.
Speaker 1 (13:31):
He showed up to the press conference, was adorable, family
and his wife and kids in this immaculate press He
looked like a golf.
Speaker 4 (13:37):
Pro, you know, like your local golf pro.
Speaker 1 (13:40):
And then he showed up to the press conference and
started talking and called out Matt Lafleur and did I
think this guy's nuts?
Speaker 4 (13:45):
And I mean that in a good way.
Speaker 1 (13:47):
I mean, let's remember, like his guy is Dan Campbell.
Speaker 4 (13:49):
Was this guy Campbell's completely.
Speaker 1 (13:51):
Nuts, and this is the guy he coached under. And
so he's sitting there like with that's crazy. Like he
looked like a Napoleon or something in some painting when
he's up thirty eight to nothing at home. I like it.
I'm into it. It wasn't too big for him. I
like a guy who's a little bit nuts. The Bears
need that absolutely well.
Speaker 3 (14:08):
Speaking of Caleb Williams being the quarterback that was most
sacked last season, he is hoping to not be at
the top of that list. Someone who gets after quarterbacks
plenty of times throughout last season was Cincinnati Bengals defender
Trey Hendrickson.
Speaker 2 (14:19):
News from over the.
Speaker 3 (14:20):
Weekend emerged that the Bengals are actively having conversations. I
guess with teams around the league. We need more information
on this. Tom pellisera our NHOL network joining US insider
joining us this morning. Tom, what's the latest on Trey
Hendrickson and the.
Speaker 8 (14:33):
Bengals, Well, Jamie.
Speaker 9 (14:34):
Contract talks between Trey Henderson and the Bengals remain at
an impass and Cincinnati is listening to trade.
Speaker 8 (14:42):
Offers for their four.
Speaker 9 (14:44):
Time Pro Bowl defensive end. Now, I want to be clear,
no trade is imminent. They're not going to give him away.
But this is a rarity.
Speaker 8 (14:52):
The NFL's raining.
Speaker 9 (14:53):
Sack leader is available for the right price. Right now,
Hendrickson remains with the team. They got a game tonight
in Washington. He is on that trip. Decide to have
been in an agreement for several weeks on the big number,
the years and the money in terms of a new
contract extension. But the Bengals to this point have been
unwilling to do what they did for Joe Burrow and
Jamar Chase, which is break their structure and give guarantees
(15:17):
beyond the twenty twenty five season. So what would it
take to get a Trey Hendrickson trade done again a
player who wants a multi year commitment. Well back before
the draft, the Bengals had an offer on the table.
There was a second round pick and change. At that time,
they weren't willing to engage with that.
Speaker 8 (15:34):
They wanted a first rounder.
Speaker 9 (15:36):
My understanding is that the price has softened or at
least changed a little bit.
Speaker 8 (15:40):
At this point.
Speaker 9 (15:41):
The Bengals would want a player, somebody who maybe could
even replace some of the production they got from Trey Hendrickson,
as well as a pick in the twenty twenty sixth draft.
Is someone willing to step up and meet that price.
That remains me seeing the Bengals don't do a whole
lot of trades for Hendrickson one way or another.
Speaker 8 (15:59):
He expects to get paid.
Speaker 9 (16:00):
He has made clear that much publicly, and even though
the Bengals don't those future guarantees, it makes sense.
Speaker 8 (16:06):
He's thirty years old. He's also a.
Speaker 9 (16:07):
Player who has not missed the game, as thirty five
sacks over the past couple of seasons, showing no signs
of slowing down. There is interest around the league and
potentially Trey Henderson being on the move.
Speaker 1 (16:18):
This would only be the second time in history tom
that the NFL sack leader is traded the very next season,
the first time being when the Chiefs traded Jared Allen
to the Vikings. It's unbelievably rare, and I feel like
Bengals fans are exasperated to add to that or maybe
diffuse it.
Speaker 4 (16:35):
It's August eighteenth.
Speaker 1 (16:37):
How does that complicate getting a trade done? Getting a
deal done like the opener is coming. How does that
affect the viability of us waking up and seeing tomorrow
that you're telling us Trey Henderson's been traded.
Speaker 9 (16:49):
Well, it's a great point in terms of the history
on this, because Jared Allen was traded. There were a
bunch of different reasons. He had had some off the
field things. They weren't willing to make a commitment for
the Vikings. They thought that was something that was going
to take them forward, setting up what occurred i believe
sixteen years ago today, which was the acquisition of Prett
Farvan a two year contract to the run to the
NFC Championship Game. We also saw this about seven years
(17:11):
ago with Khalil Mack where he became available around this
same time of year, and it was a similar type
of situation in terms of the Raiders simply weren't willing
to pay the type of price on a contract that
Khalil Mack wanted. John Gruden thought, hey, we're going to
be able to rebuild the roster by getting what ended
up being multiple first dround picks. They did send a
two back to Chicago as part of that deal. But
(17:32):
it is possible the issue becomes it's August, it's not April.
You can't go out and draft the replacement for Trey Hendrickson.
Though the Bengals kind of did that in acquiring Shamar Stewart,
it's a lot harder right now to replace that production.
Speaker 8 (17:46):
That's part of where the price Kyle.
Speaker 9 (17:48):
Has shifted here in terms of the Bengals not being
hardline anymore in terms of we have to get a
first round pick.
Speaker 8 (17:54):
Maybe now it's a different.
Speaker 9 (17:56):
Defensive end that you think you can get some sack
production from, and let's say a third round pick something.
Speaker 8 (18:00):
In that type of area.
Speaker 9 (18:02):
Here, it is complicated, but the entire situation is complicated
because right now, again the Bengals and Trey Hendrickson, they've
had the big numbers in place.
Speaker 8 (18:11):
We can talk about the average per year.
Speaker 9 (18:13):
The new deal would put him among the highest paid
pass rushers. He would not reset that market. They simply
have been intractable in terms of the guarantees.
Speaker 8 (18:21):
From the team's perspective, it's.
Speaker 9 (18:23):
Hey, if in twenty twenty seven the guy's falling off
and he's thirty two to thirty three years old, we
don't want to be on the hook for that money.
For Trey Hendrickson, He's going what reason have I given
you to believe that I'm going to fall off the map?
It is a complicated situation. We'll see if it advances,
but I can tell you there are several teams over
the past several days that have checked in with the Bengals.
There have been talks. It's not anywhere close to a
(18:45):
deal actually getting done, but at this point, unless either
Trey Hendrickson or the Bengals move in terms of the money,
we're looking at a trade or potentially a scenario where
a player who's due about sixty and a half million
dollars in the last year of his contract will have
a choice of do I want to go out there
and play on that number or give what hendricks has
said in the past, maybe even missing games to continue
(19:07):
to try to get the type of contract and maybe
a new team that he wants.
Speaker 2 (19:09):
Tom well done.
Speaker 3 (19:10):
Yeah, I can imagine other teams are like, we'll take
on your complication named Trey Hendrickson. We'll have him on
our defense, and what do you need for him? The
Bengals are actively listening, Tom Peli, Sarah, thank you so much.
Have we reached the point of no return for this
Trey Hendrickson Bengals relationship?
Speaker 2 (19:24):
Manton?
Speaker 6 (19:25):
I don't think so, but I do think that It's
a smart move by the Bengals. And the reason why
is when I first heard the news, I was like, man,
what are we doing Bengals? Why aren't you? Why are
we making this thing happen? And then I watched the
first Pieceason game against the Eagles, and in the first
two series that all of their starters were in, the
Eagles went fifteen plays for one hundred and twenty twenty
one hundred twenty two yards and ten points. If I'm
(19:49):
the Bengals, I'm looking at this situation like I need
more help than just Trey, Like I need more guys.
And the fact that they're trying to get a player
and a pick in the trade for trade, it solidifies
that thought in my mind that the front office over
there in Cincinnati is saying, and all of the questions
and the holes we have on this defense cannot be
filled by one guy, Like, if we can't come to
(20:10):
a resolution on this contract talk, let's try to figure
out what we can get in exchange room so we
can feel many the many holes.
Speaker 4 (20:17):
That we have on this defense.
Speaker 6 (20:19):
So at first my reaction was, now, what are we
doing over there in Cincinnati? But then as I saw
them play against guys that they weren't playing Agains, Jalen Hurts,
no Taquon, They're playing against Tanner McKee, Bill Shipley and
Johan Dotson, and they put up twenty four points in
the first half on them.
Speaker 4 (20:33):
So that's that's my react.
Speaker 6 (20:34):
I thought it was I understand where the Cincinnati Bengals
are going from and it's.
Speaker 3 (20:37):
Not a departure from how the Bengals defense looked class
season there So this is a reality that's been in
place for quite some time for Cincinnati.
Speaker 2 (20:44):
Listen.
Speaker 3 (20:44):
NFL Fantasy Live is back tonight. Patrick Cleavan, Adam Rank,
and Cynthia Freeland revealed they're twenty twenty five all Fantasy
Breakout team. NFL Fantasy Live airs weeknight at six pm
Easter right here on NFL Network and check it out
on NFL Plus.
Speaker 10 (20:58):
Coming up next, Juicy Jackson dart over the weekend received
first team snaps with the off he threw for a touchdown.
Speaker 3 (21:06):
He had a little celebration at the camera he ran
for one two. Kyle, how about a home debut for
the rookie quarterback in front of his rookie, his Giants
fans on the home field.
Speaker 2 (21:15):
Oh Davie loves it.
Speaker 4 (21:18):
Russ is our starter. Russ is our starter.
Speaker 1 (21:20):
Just Ash coach davill It used to saying that one coach,
it's a good problem to have when they keep asking
you about the rookie.
Speaker 4 (21:26):
All right, how about this. I want see something I
see bring it up.
Speaker 1 (21:31):
Yeah, that's Tom Brady in a very Al Davis looking jacket.
That is a cool, cool jacket tone perfect from the goat.
Speaker 4 (21:40):
We're gonna talk about this. We're gonna talk about the Raiders.
Speaker 1 (21:42):
We're talking about their rookie running back who turns out
might just not be a bus dummies. Good morning football
on a Monday, nothing like it.
Speaker 4 (21:58):
Good morning football.
Speaker 8 (22:01):
All right.
Speaker 3 (22:01):
Philosophical decision whether or not you want to play your
starters in Week two with the preseason ravens off not
too Cowboys players and starters in pads, but they didn't
play either.
Speaker 2 (22:10):
You saw Lamar, you saw Dak.
Speaker 3 (22:11):
But here's Joe Milton who got the star for Dallas.
First quarter, no score, Cowboys, third and fourteen from.
Speaker 2 (22:15):
Their own tree.
Speaker 3 (22:16):
Hello, Joe Milton sacked in the end zone for a safety.
Speaker 2 (22:20):
That's key On Martin, an undrafted.
Speaker 3 (22:21):
Rookie out of Louisiana Lapayette Ravens take a lead two
nothing wrote a prolific score.
Speaker 2 (22:25):
Here we go. Cooper Rush drops back.
Speaker 3 (22:28):
He tries to find Andrew Lejonte Webster excuse me, intercepted
by Andrew Booth takes it all the way back for
a touchdown, carrying a ball like an absolute pro harbuff frustrated.
Speaker 1 (22:39):
Now.
Speaker 3 (22:39):
Part of the Ravens offseason was the news that they
had to release Justin Tucker back in May. So they
drafted Tyler Loop, who grew up just outside of Dallas.
In the sixth round. His family was on hand. This
is Loop in the second quarter. Split's see uprights. Luke
hit two field goals from fifty plus. He was five
for six on the day. Loop there, it is is
what the sign said. Ravens would this win this one?
Speaker 2 (23:00):
Kyle thirty one thirteen.
Speaker 4 (23:03):
Tag teams back again.
Speaker 1 (23:05):
Justin fields the Jets quarterback Garrett Wilson was his receiver
in college. That doesn't help him there, that was incomplete.
Speaker 4 (23:11):
This ain't the horseshoe, folks.
Speaker 1 (23:13):
This is his met life in the stupid Bowl and
he won hops it there. Aaron Glenn has questions, so
to Jets fans, Russell Wilson is the starter just asks
his head coach and he comes out here seeing real
action on the same field. He want absolutely blasted the
Peyton manning Bronco's in a.
Speaker 4 (23:27):
Terrible super Bowl.
Speaker 1 (23:28):
This time it's Bo Collins, Bo Collins, Au ex Collins.
They tackle him and it would result in a Devin
singletary touchdown. Starters out there for the Giants. Ross says,
I'm going back. I'm going to Boa Collins again this time. No,
he wasn't counting on Quantes Stiggers to intercept it in
the end zone. Russ was four to seven with an
(23:51):
interception one hundred eight patches. But here we go El
Fuotpuro Jackson Dart and he throws one to who. Greg
Dulsic got it, touchdown.
Speaker 4 (24:02):
Twenty yard variety.
Speaker 1 (24:03):
Giants lead fourteen sick, but who cares about the score?
Speaker 4 (24:06):
Jackson Dart agett He's gonna throw it to who. Juice Weells.
This highlight of great names.
Speaker 1 (24:12):
J Squells, juking, Juice sne doing it all down to
the one yard line.
Speaker 4 (24:17):
Guess what happens next? The rook says, I got it.
Josh Push No.
Speaker 1 (24:21):
Old fashioned conventional quarterbacks meet. Protest says, come on, put
me in I can start.
Speaker 4 (24:26):
Is that easy there? Ruk Dave, but we're gonna talk
about it.
Speaker 1 (24:30):
He had this place going, Jackson Dart met life has
not had a lot to cheer about for the last
I don't know, ten years. But they do win the
Snoopy Bowl, if you care. More importantly, they win the
the Optics Bowl with Jackson Dart and Russell Wilson looking
better than justin fields.
Speaker 4 (24:44):
We'll see how that watches out. Guys.
Speaker 11 (24:47):
I'm just trying to improve myself each and every day.
The quarterback room has played at a very high level.
You know, a lot of the like the guys in
my room who I really look up to, so I
try to continue to pick their brains. And I'm in
a really unique and cool situation right now. So I'm
just trying to learn from them, learn from all my coaches,
and you know, whenever my my number is called, you know,
I think that you know, I'm just going to try
(25:08):
to do my best, but you know, I'm also just
going to be the best teammate that I can be
and try to push his team in the best direction
to win really well. In the preseason here you're talking
about Jackson Stones again.
Speaker 4 (25:19):
You've honly said Russ's the starter. Is there anything he
can do to get himself in that mixed.
Speaker 3 (25:24):
At this point?
Speaker 4 (25:25):
Yeah, Russ is our starter and we're going to keep developing.
Speaker 2 (25:27):
Jackson, Say say it again, Kyle, what is it? What
is the quote? Russ is the start?
Speaker 4 (25:33):
Quote, Jamie, I have so many quotes in my head.
I have no idea. Where's that chemistry you tune in for? Guys?
I don't know.
Speaker 2 (25:41):
Rons is the starter?
Speaker 3 (25:42):
Say it again?
Speaker 10 (25:43):
Say until we're blue in the face, man, Tie all right,
Jackson Dart, it only works.
Speaker 2 (25:50):
I guess if you're at the table.
Speaker 1 (25:51):
Huh, dang it.
Speaker 4 (25:52):
I know where you're going on. Then is this starter?
Speaker 1 (25:58):
Oh? Man?
Speaker 3 (25:58):
All right, well, Russ is the starter, Jackson Dart, look great, man, Ti.
The giants have a real quandary on their hands, not
quantas siggers, quandary.
Speaker 4 (26:04):
Quandary. I don't know quandary. What does quandary mean? We
talked some stuff on here, guys.
Speaker 6 (26:11):
Okay, all right, let me just let me let me
get this car back on the tracks.
Speaker 2 (26:15):
Quandary do they have do they have a puzzle? They
have an issue that's laundry.
Speaker 5 (26:20):
I got an issue usc undry, whatever, whatever, whatever.
Speaker 6 (26:27):
Okay, I got I got an issue, and this is this.
I picked the Jets last last week to have more
wins than the Giants.
Speaker 4 (26:33):
Okay, I'm sorry. I take it back. I take it back.
Speaker 6 (26:37):
Okay, I watched the Giants, all right, I took it back.
Speaker 4 (26:40):
Ab all right, we make mistakes.
Speaker 2 (26:42):
We're so confident.
Speaker 6 (26:42):
I was, and then I watched I watched that game,
and I'm like, Okay, this Giants team just looks different.
Speaker 4 (26:48):
They played.
Speaker 6 (26:48):
I think that was one of the most physical games
that I've ever seen from both teams, but especially the Giants. Now,
you do have a situation where you're playing with this physicality,
you're playing with the attitude, and you still don't have
certain guys in there. You still don't have sex DEXI
in there, you still don't have maligue neighbors in there.
Who's really the guy who likes this whole thing up
(27:09):
for them?
Speaker 4 (27:10):
I do. I do think that it is such.
Speaker 6 (27:12):
A benefit and a luxury to have Russell Wilson there,
and for Russell Wilson.
Speaker 4 (27:16):
To be playing good football. He did hit Bo.
Speaker 6 (27:20):
Collins out there, who went to the University of Notre
Dame on this bomb right there. So I'm glad that
we were able to get some representation on a big
stage over there in MetLife Stadium.
Speaker 4 (27:29):
But I really felt that the way that Russell Wilson.
Speaker 6 (27:32):
Played this weekend was was reminiscent of the Seattle Seahawks
Russell Wilson and that is so that that that's so
nice for the Giants and Brian day Ball. So you
can let Jackson Dart just mature and let him be
able to grow so that when you do let him loose,
that he's ready to go running.
Speaker 5 (27:49):
Yeah, I think he's Jackson Dart is a tremendous talent.
I think he played in a great system at Old
Miss and by the way, he started his career at USC,
so I got to get that shout out before he
went to Old Miss. But they're in a good situation.
I think we're seeing what Brian Dable can do as
a play caller, as an offensive coordinator calling plays. It
(28:10):
kind of reminds me if you remember when Russ was
a rookie back in Seattle. They had signed I believe
Matt Flynn to be their starter and signed him to
a big contract. Russ blew him away in training camp.
Speaker 2 (28:25):
In three seasons.
Speaker 5 (28:26):
Yeah, and ended up being the starter. Pete Carroll said, no,
he's our guy as a rookie, so this could be
the same situation. I don't know if David was willing
to pull that trigger just yet, because once you start
with Jackson Dart it's hard to go back back. So
I like the attitude of where they're going with starting
with Russ. See how it goes, because you know in
(28:47):
New York, if they go one and three or one
at whatever it is, they're gonna be calling for Jackson
real soon.
Speaker 4 (28:53):
It's a great example with Russ.
Speaker 1 (28:55):
The perception of Russ at the time was this kind
of short guy from Wisconsin who played baseball too.
Speaker 4 (29:00):
He didn't have this big profile.
Speaker 1 (29:01):
And he showed up and just could ball imediately in practice,
immediately in the preseason games, he just had it.
Speaker 4 (29:07):
Matt Netflinn had.
Speaker 1 (29:08):
Signed the contract and they said, I don't care. That
kid is so good, we can't keep him off the field.
I love that idea of history repeating itself, and Giants
fans are and should be really excited about Jackson Dark.
It's not just that he looks the part, that he
looks comfortable. He's got style to him, whatever you want
to call it, flair, panag, swag, or he just has it.
Speaker 4 (29:30):
He looks very.
Speaker 1 (29:31):
Cool out there. He's not going to start the opener.
It's not going to happen.
Speaker 4 (29:35):
I don't care what he.
Speaker 1 (29:35):
Does in the next preseason game. I don't know what
care what he does in practice. Let me explain why.
First of all, simple scheduling stuff. The Giants have a
brutal opening to the season at Washington at Dallas home
Kansas City on national television, Home Chargers. You want your
veteran out there. You do not want to throw the
rookie to the dogs.
Speaker 4 (29:53):
The other thing is history, guys.
Speaker 1 (29:55):
You have to remember so Brian Dable's been through this
before a little bit. Brian Davile was the Bills offensive
coordinator when they had another first round rookie and it
was Josh Allen who they traded up to get. Yet
Josh Allen did not start the opener in his first
year for the Buffalo Bills.
Speaker 4 (30:09):
Nathan Peterman did. Nathan Peterman was the starter.
Speaker 1 (30:12):
You can look it up and Josh Allen athletic, big
arm everything, and they're like no, no, no, no, no no no.
The only way that Josh Allen got on the field.
Was Peterman was out there losing forty to nothing shortly
into the season, and they said, all right, put him
out there, and then Alan revealed himself that was Nathan Peterman.
Do respect, this is Russell Wilson. He's not going to
do that. Russell Wilson is going to keep the train.
Speaker 4 (30:31):
On the tracks. He's going to run the offense. It's
going to be the starter. He was already asked afterwards.
And I know, I bet.
Speaker 1 (30:37):
When Jackson Dart was scoring that touchdown or throwing the
ball all around the other day over the weekend, I
bet David was on the side and just a little
part of him was like, ah, here we go, here
we go.
Speaker 4 (30:45):
I know these questions are going to start coming.
Speaker 1 (30:47):
And sure enough, he's asked right after the game, is
Jackson Darter can he play himself into the starting role
for the first seat for the first week. He immediately says,
Russ is our starter. We're going to continue developing Jackson.
Let's remember that, guys, Giants fans for the next couple
of weeks. That's the SoundBite. Russ is our starter. We're
developing Jackson. He will not start the opener. No matter
what happens short of an injury. The question is, especially
(31:10):
with that gauntlet, guys at start, if the Giants are
one and two, if they're zero to three, do you say,
let's go, baby, let's ignite this thing. I wonder what
the leash is. I think personally, Jackson Dart's starting week
over under is about four point five week four point
five before he's out there. I just don't know if
Rus still has it. The schedule is tough, and as
(31:32):
good as Jackson Dart's looking, there'll.
Speaker 4 (31:34):
Be a pressure.
Speaker 3 (31:34):
Well, I'm glad we got there eventually with the Russ
is our starter. Kyle, I do have to ask you,
as someone who lives in the area, you live amongst
Giants fans in your neighborhood. You know Jackson Dart has
this way about him.
Speaker 2 (31:47):
You mentioned it.
Speaker 3 (31:47):
It's like the styles how he dresses, it's the way
he's addressing the crowd in quite a charismatic way. What
is the feel about who he is as a human,
because this can go either way.
Speaker 1 (31:58):
Well, you're right, because he's the anti Eli right right,
I mean like he's not Daniel Jones showed up like, oh,
he's just like elized, this is perfect. Jackson Dart's like, nah,
I wear I black down one of my eyes because
it looks like Anakin Skywalker.
Speaker 4 (32:12):
I'm cool.
Speaker 1 (32:13):
I celebrate like my name is Jackson Dart. I am
like the opposite of everything they were supposed to say
in the archetype. I don't care, guys, if he shows
up with a pink mohawk and wear his chaps to camp,
they don't care.
Speaker 4 (32:28):
He want him just be able to play.
Speaker 1 (32:29):
If he's crazy rock star style, it doesn't matter. He
can play. He's cool and he listen.
Speaker 4 (32:34):
Let's be honest. He's everything Eli wasn't. He also everything
Russ is not.
Speaker 1 (32:38):
Russ is this vagabond guy who shows up right now,
who's been all around. He's basically a bounty hunter. He's
been on his four team in four years. You have
no attachment to the Giants fans or anything. This guy
is handpicked, home grown. There's going to be a pressure
to have him play again. I keep bringing it up.
It's not irrelevant. The Giants opening slate is terrible. There's
(32:59):
no rollout game, there's no warm up game. They're immediately
into the lions Den. Those games like that. Jackson Dart
thing is going to be really, really strong.
Speaker 3 (33:08):
Bears quarterback Kaya Williams saw his first preseason action in
Ben Johnson's offense, and it was something to watch. Everybody
was ready to silence the critics, especially Kayla Williams, who
led a seventh plate ninety two yard drive that ended
in this touchdown to Alamide Zechias.
Speaker 6 (33:23):
What those they're down for Chicago third and five William
zen Zio cinnamados Zeko's tax ten yo zone puts touched off.
Speaker 11 (33:33):
That opening drive is everything they've been preaching to Kayleb
Williams since they hired Ben Johnson.
Speaker 4 (33:39):
The Bears are back, baby.
Speaker 2 (33:41):
All right, coming up.
Speaker 3 (33:44):
It's Monday, and that means highlights at the breakfast table.
But specifically there's somebody at the breakfast table who will.
Speaker 2 (33:50):
Be reading their first highlights.
Speaker 3 (33:52):
I am soon to be handing a shop sheet if
prescious shot sheet over to Manti Tale he is at
the breakfast table, which means, oh, the responsibility grows, mant
are you ready?
Speaker 4 (34:04):
I'm as ready as already.
Speaker 2 (34:06):
I've got first It's next on LFE.
Speaker 6 (34:23):
Highlights me first, it says one minute. It's gonna be
the longest minute in my life. There's Travis Hunter. He
didn't play, but this guy did. Trevor Lawrence for the
second time this preseason.
Speaker 4 (34:32):
Trevor dross back.
Speaker 6 (34:34):
He sees his receiver Parker watching ten for seven yards
a seven yard touchdown. Trevor Lawrence would end the game
eight for ten seventy six yards, a TD and two drives.
Tyler Shuck is in there for the Saints. He got
to start this week. Tyler Shuck ended, he dropped back.
Speaker 8 (34:51):
He hits why isn't camera on me?
Speaker 1 (34:54):
Tray Ten Welch brom the University of my White homing
a cowboy.
Speaker 4 (34:59):
This is great TV, guys. Spencer Railroad come in the
second half though he started last week.
Speaker 6 (35:03):
Spencer rally last week with seven for eleven fifty seven yards.
Speaker 4 (35:06):
But in this case, he drops back and he hits
a former Washington Husky for a twenty yard touchdown.
Speaker 6 (35:12):
But they're still Trellie seventeen to fifteen. They would need
to go for two on this. Spencer Ratler takes the challenge,
drops back, doesn't see anybody, but sees the right corner
of the end zone and runs in there. At the
tightest game up seventeen to seventeen. Now the game that
end on an interception by Jonah Sanker.
Speaker 4 (35:31):
What a game it was for the Saints. Who's next,
Mad Night?
Speaker 2 (35:36):
Take a lap? Take a victory lap? Holy brap listen
Kevin O'Connell.
Speaker 3 (35:40):
The Vikings decided not to play their starters, but that
doesn't mean that the Patriots had to follow suit. Drake
May and the Patriots in Minnesota for preseason week two.
This is Drake May trying to find Mac Hollins a
twenty yard.
Speaker 2 (35:53):
Catch, tiptoe on the sideline.
Speaker 3 (35:55):
Choose on tiptoe important clarification with Matt Collins. They would
be done after two drives, who had finished four for
seven Three plays later, trainy On Henderson second round to.
Speaker 2 (36:03):
Take out of a state.
Speaker 3 (36:05):
He rushes up the god good for eleven yards. Henderson,
if you remember, return the opening kickoff in preseason week
one for one hundred yards.
Speaker 2 (36:12):
Here he is in the red zone. This is an
eight yard tz powering through into that Vikings Profol Trevon.
Speaker 3 (36:18):
Henderson, well done. Patriots take a seven nothing lead. Rabel
can't believe how Gooda's rookie is. Astonishing, right, Coach, He's
yours coming out of the backfield. That's a former first
team All Big Ten Conference winner, Patriots would.
Speaker 2 (36:30):
Go on to win twenty to twelve. Kyle Brandt, as
we send you elsewhere in the NFC North and the POLP.
Speaker 4 (36:36):
Yeah, yeah, let's go to the Hoosier State.
Speaker 1 (36:39):
Anthony Richardson dislocated his pinky. So we have Daniel Jones
out there, guys, in the middle of this real quarterback competition.
Daniel Jones Michael Pittman Junior.
Speaker 4 (36:50):
We'll take it.
Speaker 1 (36:51):
That's twenty two yards. Pittman's really good at those contested casses.
Just kets is just as pfth later in the drive
first intent, Daniel Jones. Here's the rook at Tyler Warren.
He's going to be busy this year. I don't know
yet if they are going to be good. Tyler Warren,
I think it's going to be very productive. He has
looked up heart in preseason. All right, Anthony Richardson out there, listen,
(37:11):
He's got to get out there. He's trying to win
this spot. Still his pinky's banged up, but guess what
he finds.
Speaker 4 (37:17):
Drew Ogletree for twenty one yards.
Speaker 8 (37:19):
Not bad.
Speaker 1 (37:20):
His head coach, Shane Stiking, Shane, are you gonna pull
the tray. Are you starting the season with Daniel Jones?
Speaker 4 (37:24):
Are you gonna do it? Just tell us, well, maybe
we still have to determine that.
Speaker 1 (37:28):
Tyler Goodson runs it in for three yards out. That
was six plays later, Coach leet tender nothing if you care.
Speaker 4 (37:33):
Anthony Richardson leads some touchdown drive. But watch this one.
Speaker 1 (37:36):
Richardson's gonna step up and chuck a beautiful pass to
Anthony Gold for the thirty eight yard completion. But here's
this little alignment penalty the wide receivers got us.
Speaker 4 (37:46):
But look how angry Anthony Richardson is. He wanted that one.
Speaker 1 (37:50):
He's trying to win this job. The good news is
it doesn't matter if it call brought back for a penalty.
He completed the pass. That's gonna be on tape. That's
all anybody cares about. Guys, we still don't know Daniel
Jones did start the game, looked all right, Probably gonna
be him, but who knows. You always get seduced by
that Anthony Richardson upside, don't you, Jamie?
Speaker 2 (38:07):
Absolutely, Kyle.
Speaker 3 (38:08):
It feels good to lighten the load a little bit,
take some responsibility off the plate of the reading of
the highlights and the shot sheets.
Speaker 2 (38:14):
How about our guy he passed the test. I think you.
Speaker 9 (38:20):
Don't.
Speaker 4 (38:20):
They're not supposed to be seen. You don't pull the
curtain back to see us.
Speaker 1 (38:23):
Read like a bunch of earth right.
Speaker 4 (38:25):
Here, some organically.
Speaker 1 (38:27):
So they dropped that on you, Manti, and you didn't
even blink.
Speaker 6 (38:30):
So glad that they did that because I understood what
this was about, like it was a hazing situation and
actually made me relax.
Speaker 4 (38:36):
I was like, let's go home, Yeah, let's flock it in.
And then I saw Jamie I had short a list
of mine. I'm like, what are we doing here?
Speaker 2 (38:42):
Guys like, don't throw these track above me?
Speaker 4 (38:45):
Want to do that again?
Speaker 2 (38:48):
No, there's no way, there's no way.
Speaker 3 (38:50):
Every weekend, there's a handful of things that happen where
we're all used to this term that the kids say, No,
there's no way that that actually just happened.
Speaker 2 (38:57):
So here we go. We gotta list.
Speaker 3 (38:59):
We each have a moment from pre season week two
that we want to review because there's no way it happened.
Speaker 1 (39:03):
Manton, There's no.
Speaker 4 (39:04):
Way this happened, but it did. Okay.
Speaker 6 (39:06):
Abdual Carter, the star rookie defensive end for the New
York Giants. Okay, he got chipped. You gotta chipped this
past weekend. That's okay, that's it right. Ooh, he's going
all over Twitter. Everybody was saying stuff he reacted to it,
had some explicit words in there.
Speaker 4 (39:22):
But listen, guys, it's it. I love this play. Here's
Abdul Carter's reaction to it. Yeah, he had to blur
some of it out.
Speaker 6 (39:29):
It's a kid at friendly show, guys, it's a kid
friendly show.
Speaker 7 (39:32):
But listen, that's the man. This is a great That
was a great football play. Okay, if we watch it play,
it's a great football play. Great play by the tight end,
great play by the tackle. I expect the tackle to
try to finish the defender.
Speaker 4 (39:43):
They do that all the time. But this is my question.
Was he not defenseless? Was abdul Carter not defenseless? He was, Okay,
he was.
Speaker 6 (39:52):
All I'm asking guys, is the stuff that we put
for offensive guys to protect them defenseless receivers.
Speaker 4 (39:58):
Let's let's carry that over to the defense. You know
what I mean, give us, give us a little bit.
Speaker 6 (40:02):
If you're not gonna do that, then don't put it
on an office.
Speaker 4 (40:04):
That's all I'm saying. Ronny, Wow, I'm real, That's all
I'm saying. Man, he just did he did, He really did.
There's no way.
Speaker 5 (40:12):
Moment is from the city of brotherly Love. Yes, Philadelphia,
the Browns are playing the Eagles, and typical filler fans
take a listen. Now it's free season in Philadelphia. They're
(40:38):
booing the Eagles, the home team in Philly. It's just
they're all ready for the regular season in Philadelphia.
Speaker 2 (40:45):
Really, no, we want to deny that emotionally from being
an end zone.
Speaker 1 (40:48):
Can't do that.
Speaker 2 (40:49):
I kind of want to deny this emotionally.
Speaker 3 (40:51):
It was very jarring to see a minority owner of
any team walk in and try to pay homage to.
Speaker 2 (40:57):
Maybe a former owner or the family.
Speaker 3 (40:59):
But the Tom Brady experience with the white al Dats
jacket walking up the tunnel, I was not prepared. I
was not prepared to see it with the shades and
the walk in.
Speaker 2 (41:09):
I mean, it looks great.
Speaker 3 (41:10):
But at the same time, Kyle, I mean this like
taps into like and I feel like I might need
NFL music under this film's music.
Speaker 1 (41:19):
Yeah, I just want to what out Davis was to
think I mean it's cool, but like that's Tom Brady
is responsible for one maybe the worst Raiders loss of
all time in the up rule game. I al Davis
might actually be spitting on the ground looking at this.
Speaker 4 (41:31):
Who knows. I think it's awesome.
Speaker 1 (41:32):
Great for you, Tom, pretty cool. All right, Listen, we
have to move on the end of the hour. I'm
just gonna throw to some videotape. Everybody likes this kind
of play, certainly Noah Eagle, who had the call go ahead.
Speaker 4 (41:43):
I'm the twenty five the Chargers. They send the rush
this time.
Speaker 2 (41:48):
Oh it's a big man interception.
Speaker 4 (41:50):
You are Edwards a defensive tackle back to midfield. Great
job by Edwards.
Speaker 1 (41:55):
And then you know he played a little running back
back in the day.
Speaker 4 (41:57):
Watch the feat run, big fellow run.
Speaker 2 (42:02):
That's not a fellow.
Speaker 3 (42:03):
You want to tackle a smaller quarterback.
Speaker 4 (42:07):
All right.
Speaker 1 (42:07):
It wasn't no ego, but it was tra Edwards. Unbelievable,
big man. And at the end of the fact that
he lowered the shoulder and did not just go out
of bounds. Listen, we see this more and more. Look
at him rush and then drop make a hands catch.
And now right here he says no no, no, no,
that makes you laugh on a Funday morning. You're right, Edwards,
(42:27):
I absolutely love you, big dude.
Speaker 4 (42:29):
He goes three oh five. That's the play of the
week for me.
Speaker 2 (42:33):
I can't believe the shoe me on that.
Speaker 6 (42:36):
Yeah, KB, that's an anger runs right there, KB, I
think he gonna be no, no, but no, that's an
anger run preseason.
Speaker 1 (42:43):
If it weren't for Ashton genty, we could send him
this after. But we'll get to the Raiders highlights in
a little bit. All kinds of things are happening there too, not.
Speaker 3 (42:51):
Just a guy walking into the game when the tunnel
with the al data jacket. We actually have Raiders highlights
coming on Good Morning Football next hour. Don't do it, Kyle, No,
it's just a warm huger.
Speaker 4 (43:02):
I just know I remember, Okay. Stuff stuff,
