Good Morning Football.
Speaker 3 (00:24):
Yeah, that's right, it's Good Morning Football everybody. Like I
just said, Nick Will, Logan, Jamie, we're at the table
for the next couple of days. I love that these
people are all looking at me, like, what are we
doing next? What's a conversation? I am in full control,
which is never the case when Kyle Brandt's on the show.
In all honesty, he is in full control at all times.
Speaker 4 (00:41):
Logan, how's it going.
Speaker 2 (00:42):
It's going great, man. I'm happy to be here.
Speaker 5 (00:44):

feel like I'm gonna be your little your shooting guard
to your point guard.
Speaker 4 (00:49):
Yes.
Speaker 3 (00:49):
Perfect, And you have been calling college games for CBS,
so you are totally read up on this entire binder.
You know everything that's going on when it comes to
combine and draft rees.
Speaker 5 (00:58):
I mean I've probably studied a binder every single week
to learn all these players' names. So yeah, I'm pretty
caught up on it. I'm excited to be here, but
I love talking NFL.
Speaker 3 (01:06):
Okay, good Will, what are you up to these days
when you are not filling in and helping us out
on GMF.
Speaker 6 (01:10):
I me the coaching kids or I'm making wine one
of the two.
Speaker 7 (01:13):
That's the dirict thing.
Speaker 2 (01:14):
Yeah, I got you love.
Speaker 4 (01:15):
Does coaching kids make you want to have wine?
Speaker 2 (01:18):
Is that?
Speaker 7 (01:19):
No?
Speaker 6 (01:20):
So playing football made me want to have wine?
Speaker 7 (01:22):
Coaching kids something stronger. That's okay, something stronger.
Speaker 2 (01:26):
I'm gonna be honest.
Speaker 3 (01:27):
Nick, our current player at the table. How's your off
season going. What's the state of the nation with.
Speaker 4 (01:31):
Nick Cross shooting?
Speaker 8 (01:33):
Off season going well, just train and just enjoying some
time out there on the golf course, relaxing, spending time
with my friends and family. So it's against a good
off season.
Speaker 4 (01:41):
And trying out some TV along the way.
Speaker 8 (01:43):
Oh yeah, just a little bit.
Speaker 2 (01:44):
All right, good time.
Speaker 3 (01:45):
Well right, I know, golf wine. We're fine at the table.
Tom Pellasero, good morning to you. Welcome inside GMFB. Haven't
talked to you in a couple of days. But the
fact that we are now ten days away from the
NFL Draft, things are heating up.
Speaker 4 (01:59):
Prospects are wrapping up their pre draft.
Speaker 3 (02:00):
Visits soon, and there's a couple of big names that
we have to cover today. Of course, let's start with
Shador Sanders and where his frequent flyer miles are taking him.
Speaker 9 (02:09):
That's right, Jamie Shadour Sanders is headed to Las Vegas tonight.
Speaker 7 (02:14):
For a visit with the Raiders.
Speaker 9 (02:16):
Now this is in trigguery because of course, Las Vegas
earlier this offseason made the trades sending a third round
pick in Seattle for Gino Smith, who they also signed
to an enhanced contract. But there certainly is always a
longer term need at the quarterback.
Speaker 7 (02:31):
Position for Shadur.
Speaker 9 (02:32):
He's also visited the Browns, he has visited the Giants.
He spent time last week with Mike Tomlin and the
Pittsburgh Steelers. The Raiders, sitting at number six, are in
a position where if if Shador Sanders slides out of
those top three spots, potentially that could be in play. Also,
Abdul Carter, the penn State edge rusher, is headed to
(02:56):
New England and is visiting the Patriots today. For Carter,
he has now visited all of the top four teams
in this draft.
Speaker 7 (03:03):
The Patriot This would seem to be the floor.
Speaker 9 (03:05):
While there's been a lot of discussion recently about Travis
Hunter going to the Browns or the Giants, other team
ending up with Abdul Carter. It would also be a
scenario where if one of those teams decides, for instance,
to take a quarterback, Abdul Carter could be sitting there
for the Patriots. That would certainly be an ideal scenario
for New England. Important to get Carter in two for
(03:26):
pre draft visit because he's had multiple injuries that he's
been dealing with during the pre draft process. This gives
them an opportunity to get him in person, spend some
time with him, check him out one more time. It
does sound like medically, Jamie, everything is on track for
Abdul Carter in these final ten days until the NFL jery.
Speaker 3 (03:43):
You imagine the way Mike Rabele would act if he
got his hands on Abdul Carter on that defense. I
think that would be quite the gift for the new
coach in New England but not new to running a defense,
especially with the Patriots Jersey on.
Speaker 4 (03:54):
All right, let's move elsewhere New Orleans.
Speaker 3 (03:56):
Mike, excuse me, Tom Pellisara, I don't even know who
which insider is on with us today?
Speaker 4 (04:01):
Derek Carr, I.
Speaker 3 (04:02):
Know you know, y'all, look alike, No, you don't you
have hair, Yeah, you have hair, Derek Carr. There was
news about the Saints quarterback over the weekend. Where does
that put New Orleans and their current quarterback situation? As
you just mentioned they have a top ten pick.
Speaker 10 (04:17):
Well.
Speaker 9 (04:17):
The Saints are set to kick off their off season
workout program under their new head coach Kellen Moore today,
which means veteran players are starting to come back into
the building. And when Derek Carr was preparing to arrive,
it became a parent that he is dealing with a
shoulder injury that puts his twenty twenty five season in jeopardy.
I understanding is this is not a new or recent
(04:39):
shoulder injury for Derek Carr. He's obviously taken a lot
of hits over the years and it's.
Speaker 7 (04:44):
Something that he has been dealing with. This has been a.
Speaker 9 (04:47):
Very unusual off season for Derek Carr, who early back
after last season had talked with certain teammates about potentially walking.
Speaker 7 (04:55):
Away and retiring. He went back and.
Speaker 9 (04:57):
Forth with the Saints, who wanted him to take a
pay cut. Car eventually called their bluff. The Saints did
a salary conversion in early March to free up cap space,
which is something you would not think they would do
if they thought that there was any issue with Derek
Carr being ready to play the twenty twenty five season.
So where this all leaves us is Derek Carr has
a decision to make. Will he undergo surgery the potentially
(05:18):
would take him out for the twenty twenty five season,
or could he try to rehab and play through it.
Either way, the Saints have been doing their homework on
the rookie quarterbacks in recent weeks. They've had visits with
several of the top candidates. Quarterback now as much as
ever certainly potentially in play for the Saints at number nine.
Speaker 2 (05:38):
James.
Speaker 3 (05:38):
I can't tell if this is the kind of situation
that Kellen Moore wants to be coaching in or not. Regardless,
this is the hand that he was dealt as the
new head coach in No.
Speaker 4 (05:45):
Orleans Saints.
Speaker 3 (05:46):
Tom Pellis, Sarah, thank you very much for all that
information as it pertains to NFL News over the weekend.
We will talk to you in a little bit. All right,
Let's look at the Saints and a situation that they
were not preparing for when it comes to the draft,
which is they thought they were standing pat with Derek Carr,
they might not have him Logan Ryan. So what did
the Saints do if you were going to play GM
for this team? Do you draft someone, do you trade
(06:07):
for a veteran or are you fully preparing to take
one of these rookie quarterbacks and have him lead your team?
Speaker 2 (06:12):
Well, I'll tell you what.
Speaker 5 (06:12):
This is a state of emergency for the Saint When
your franchise starting quarterback goes down right before OTA's and
you got to go in here with no idea what
to do with it.
Speaker 2 (06:21):
You got to bring a quarterback in.
Speaker 5 (06:22):
I don't think it's a rookie quarterback route though, I
think it's a veteran quarterback. You have Spencer Ratler there,
a young guy at is your Kanye rookie quarterback on
the roster, But is he inspiring and leading his teammates?
I don't know yet. I haven't seen that. I would
bring in a guy who won a championship last year,
not a Super Bowl. Teddy Bridgewater, Teddy two Gloves, a.
Speaker 3 (06:40):
High school coach in Florida, winning a state title, and
now he's going to go play for the Saints.
Speaker 5 (06:45):
Yeah, and I think Will can agree when Anybody that's
played with or against Teddy Bridgewater has respect for this man.
This man knows the game. He takes care of the football.
This guy was a Pro Bowl type quarterback. We had
a devastating leg injury. He has a respect among the league.
He's smart. I played against him in college in Louisville.
Speaker 2 (07:01):
He took a Sugar Bowl away from me there.
Speaker 7 (07:04):
And he's in the state's Junior A coming and he's
been there.
Speaker 5 (07:07):
He's been in that city. He's been behind Drew Brees.
He's smart, he's accurate, he's a leader. I think he
can lead Spencer Ratler to be your bridge quarterback or maybe.
Speaker 2 (07:14):
Extend his career himself.
Speaker 5 (07:16):
I like Teddy Bridgewater to go in there and look
who they have on that roster. Alvin Kamara great back,
pass catching back. You have Chris Alave, great young wide receiver.
You ever see Shaheed So they have options. Yeah, and
they brought cooksbacks. They have options to throw the ball.
You need a quarterback coming and throw the ball. I
like Teddy Bridgeward. He's available, he has a lot of respect.
I think he can go in there. When when that
locker room over quickly, the man.
Speaker 3 (07:36):
Hasn't played or started a football game in quite some time.
You're going to bring him in learn a whole new
playbook with a rookie head coach. And that's the situation
that you think is best suited for the Saints.
Speaker 5 (07:47):
Well, who can learn a playbook faster than a coach himself?
I think Teddy Bridgwater can learn that playbook.
Speaker 3 (07:52):
Great logan, right, Okay, I have been on vacation.
Speaker 4 (07:56):
I did not expect that comeback.
Speaker 5 (07:58):
So I think Teddy Bridgeward is smart enough to go
in there. Like I said, he's played for the Saints.
He knows what football means down there. I don't think
it's a big ask for him, and I have respect
for the guy playing against him because he does it
the right way.
Speaker 6 (08:07):
Right now, that's been a trend, right You got case Keenum,
you know, coming back, you got Josh Johnson who's on
another team. He's the backup quarterback for the Commanders. But
just what you said with the roster, listen to all
I'm gonna say, Aaron Rodgers, Oh listen, the names back
out there. Bring Aaron Rodgers for that reason, to bring
in a veteran presence, to have guys you got two
(08:28):
gun slingers on the staff already and me on the
roster with Spencer Rally and Jake Hanner, guys who were
just in the spread offense just know what to do
with it. And I think Aaron Rodgers it's a situation
full of the exact same weapons, and what I would do,
I will still address the issue in the draft and
I would go get a quarterback like Jalen Morroe. He
did have a private workout with the Saints. Kellen Moore
was just what Jalen hurts in very very similar comp
(08:51):
for me in terms of what they can do. And
so I like that for the Saints. But right now, man,
what they're trying to do they got they literally lost
a franchise quarterback or potentially losing one. I would go
get Aaron Rodgers, and if he wants to play, man,
I'm calling him all day long.
Speaker 4 (09:04):
Let me think, Nick.
Speaker 8 (09:05):
I mean, I think it depends on what the organization
wants to do, right I mean, I feel like, you know,
if you're in a win now situation, you got to
go get the veteran. You got to get somebody who's proven,
who knows what they're doing. If you have a little
bit of patience. You know, you can go and draft
a rookie quarterback and have them, you know, go through
their potential growing pains and whatnot. But I feel like
with the team they have, you know, the offensive, the
weapons they have, you know, Alvin Kamara, Chris o'lave, they
(09:28):
signed my boy, Jawan Johnson back with an extension. I
feel like they got to go and go get a vet,
you know, Aaron Rodgers, and like Will said, even though
you know, you can address a quarterback at the end
of the in the draft, in the later rounds or something.
You know, maybe a Jackson Dart if you know, if
he slides a little bit, or the kid from Louisville,
or even Jaylen Mirroe. I think that the Saints are
best suitor to get a veteran quarterback right now in
(09:50):
order to go and try to achieve their dreams.
Speaker 3 (09:52):
You were with a first time head coach and a
rookie quarterback in Indianapolis when Shane Stiken arrived in Anthony Richardson,
do you think that is an ideal situation because it's
two new people arriving at the NFL. Or do you
think maybe paired with the first time head coach and
Kellen Moore you should go veteran.
Speaker 4 (10:09):
Is that part of your arguments as well?
Speaker 8 (10:11):
I would say I think it just depends on the situation.
I think that you know, with Shane coming in and
bringing in a rookie quarterback, I think they both, you know,
came in together and you know they're tied at the hip.
I feel like, you know, Shane is able to help
Anthony in so many ways and you know, bringing in
this kind of a breath of fresh air for both
both parties of players and the coaches. So I'm not
totally sure. I think that, you know, I like the
way our dynamic is. You know, Shane's a great guy,
(10:33):
you know, to lead Anthony. Anthony is a great guy
and has a very bright future. But you know, I
feel like with the rookie head coach and in the situation,
I do feel like maybe a veteran quarterback would be
you know, good to help not only bridge and ease
the ease the team, but also just to have a
calming force in that locker room. Yeah.
Speaker 6 (10:50):
Well, you have a great example. You were there with
Flacco when he came in. What was that like when
he was in the room.
Speaker 8 (10:55):
Oh, Flacco was great. You know what I'm saying. I
feel like a great leader, guy who can calm the
locker room down, someone who who's in there and he
doesn't really say a lot in the locker room, but
funny guy. Just someone with a lot of charisma and
go out there and sling the rock and you know,
helped us win a couple games during the season. But
at the end of the day, I feel like wherever
whoever the Saints go with, I think it'll be good,
(11:15):
you know, with that team that they have going down there.
Speaker 3 (11:17):
All right, So now we have this basket of teams
that we just have to put a new one in
in terms of quarterback in THEED, which makes Shad Door
Sanders and.
Speaker 4 (11:23):
Other prospects pretty happy about that.
Speaker 3 (11:25):
Do you think the Saints logan is that a pathway
that the Sanders family would want to engage their son
in because we all know that when it comes to
prime and it's a business and he knows what he
is signing his kid up for, he's very involved.
Speaker 4 (11:40):
Should do were Sanders to the Saints? Is that a possibility?
Speaker 5 (11:42):
Well, I think from the Sanders perspective, the Saints have
to come up and go get them because I think
Shador Sanders going number two to Cleveland, I truly. I
know we want to have all the speculation and he's
falling or out, but I don't think so. I think
that kid has won everywhere he's been to And if
you're a young quarterback in the NFL, you're going to
face adversity. All players are going to face adversity, and
it seems like he is built to handle it as
good as any prospect we've had come out the draft.
(12:03):
He's used to having the cameras on him, you know,
he's used to having to having to be doubted and
and all that stuff, and he's used to having the
spotlight of being deon sun. That's hard for anybody to do,
so I think Shador is.
Speaker 2 (12:15):
Used to that.
Speaker 5 (12:15):
I think he can he can win in most situations.
I think he's gonna have a great rookie year wherever
he goes. And look, we talked about the roster the
Saints have, and this is the problem I have with
the Saints even drafting a young quarterback right now, even
though Shador might want this, is that they have an
aging roster, especially defensively.
Speaker 2 (12:32):
I mean, all their stars.
Speaker 5 (12:33):
Are you know, Honey Badger's still there, Cam Jordan, the
Mario Davis. I don't know many more years they have,
but you know there. So I feel like they need
to bring somebody to who is ready to win now.
Like you said at Aaron Rodgers, I said to Teddy Bridgewater.
But for Shador, I think it's a great fit for him. However,
I think Cleveland's not moving off that number two pick.
Speaker 2 (12:49):
Yeah.
Speaker 6 (12:50):
I feel like you made a good point on the
defense side, like at number nine, like they lost Paulsner
debl to the Giants.
Speaker 2 (12:55):
Yep, they lost.
Speaker 6 (12:56):
They traded away Marshall Lottimore. So I think they really
got to get a corner and really address the defensive
side because they getting older. But I definitely don't think
he's gonna be there if not too. I like number
three for Shador for the Giants for all the reasons
you said, like that big media New York market. I
think for me, like Ivy in a quarterback, everyone's so
you know, enamored with the throw, and I think between
the ears, I think he's lights out in terms of
(13:18):
how he handles like the pressure, the leader. There's a
situation where he overthrew Travis Hunt in the game. Hunter
was ticked off about it and said something to the sideline,
and Shador totally checked him and shut it down and
rate then and there going in and threw a no
touchdown to him. So I love Shador to New York
for that reason.
Speaker 8 (13:33):
Yeah, I feel like, you know, Shador is a great
guy ever since, you know, even in high school, winning
high school college, you know, Jacksonville State going to Colorado,
bringing that or that swag to Colorado. I think it'd
be great for a team. Is New Orleans a fit
not sure, you know, like you said, the aging defense,
the weapons on offense that are there right now, something
where you need to win right now. New York is
(13:54):
another a team you know, trying to build and grow
through some adversity and everything. So you know, do you
put him there with Russell Wilson and Jameis Winston and
have him grow under them with that media market and
also just have a a great, you know, charismatic guy
come through. I know a lot of people, you know,
kind of sit there and bash him for his quote
unquote arrogance or whatever. But I feel like he has
you know, a confidence, unwaivering confidence, you know, he to
(14:17):
come from and go in Jacksonville State, to go to
Colorado teams that weren't very successful in the past, and
to go out there and and bring them to some
level of stardom and spotlight is phenomenal. So and just
you know, to have that Sanders name, you know, Deon
said it himself. You know, when you have that Sanders name,
you know it's something different. They're always going to find something,
critique and everything. So I just feel like for him,
(14:39):
I think wherever he goes, he's gonna shine. He's going
to do well, and he's going to be successful wherever
he goes.
Speaker 7 (14:43):
Yet, dB swag as a quarterback.
Speaker 4 (14:45):
Come on, man, right, it's in the blood.
Speaker 2 (14:47):
It's in the blood.
Speaker 6 (14:47):
It's at the table.
Speaker 3 (14:48):
H Yeah, you don't want your quarterback with his chin
dropped coming into the huddle. So I hear you on
the confidence that you need at that position. It's draft season, everybody.
I got this viner in front of me. We are
studying up. We got interviews this week with a lot
of the prospects, and that means as well.
Speaker 4 (15:01):
Path to the draft is back.
Speaker 3 (15:02):
Our experts take you inside the room for prospect evaluations
to draft needs for all thirty two teams.
Speaker 4 (15:09):
Got you covered.
Speaker 3 (15:10):
Passed to the Draft, presented by Harbor Freight tonight and
every weeknight at six pm, sir and on Edical Network,
or you can stream it on NFL Plus. Still to
come on our show a little later on, we are
going to really dig into short our sanders.
Speaker 4 (15:23):
Did we not just do that?
Speaker 3 (15:23):
No, we have to continue because, as Nick Kross just said,
the critics are out there.
Speaker 4 (15:28):
But is it warranted? Is this a bunch of nonsense?
Speaker 3 (15:31):
I'm talking patting the ball and what it all means
as a quarterback spot.
Speaker 4 (15:35):
Of course, we have to talk about that on GMFB
on a Monday. Still to come home.
Speaker 3 (15:38):
There's a long line of tradition for a tight end university,
University of Miami's someone out.
Speaker 4 (15:43):
There is holding up the U with their hands. We
see you. Who's next in line.
Speaker 3 (15:46):
His name is Elijah Arroyo and we're going to meet
him next on GMFB dB at the table.
Speaker 4 (15:52):
My gosh, everybody's dropping their prend day.
Speaker 2 (16:05):
Good morning football.
Speaker 3 (16:07):
We're back on GMF and we're getting to know all
of the prospects whose names you will hear next week
in Green Bay. And this next one is one of
the top tight end prospects in this year's draft. He
was a standout at the Resa Senior ball. As we
welcome in from the University of Miami and Elijah Royo
go on, We're great. Great, it's obligatory. You hear it,
(16:31):
and you want to know it's just your hands all
come together.
Speaker 4 (16:35):
All right, Elijah, Let's.
Speaker 3 (16:41):
Go through some of your history and work through how
you got here. You had a major knee injury early
in your college career. You missed most of the twenty
two and twenty three season with a torney cl But
now you are preparing to hear your name called in
Green Bay next week as you prepare to enter the NFL.
Someone would have told you that that this is your
reality now in football.
Speaker 4 (17:01):
How would that make you feel?
Speaker 11 (17:03):
I never really doubt it that honestly. You know, I've
had injuries throughout my career, but you know, I always,
you know, had a goal in mind, which is to
make it to the league. And now that this year,
you know, I'm trying to, you know, excel at the
next level.
Speaker 8 (17:16):
What's up, Elijah? First of all, I just want to
say I've used your n Cuba multiple times, very very
when it comes to third down, you know them, corner
routes and everything. I appreciate you for all the success
providing me on C double.
Speaker 10 (17:28):
A sure, but hopefully I made you some money.
Speaker 8 (17:32):
I'm not saying all that, but you definitely remember some
games for sure. You left the heartfelt goodbye message on
your Instagram to the University of Miami and the fans.
What about being a hurricane was so important? And what
does that mean to you?
Speaker 11 (17:45):
Man?
Speaker 10 (17:45):
So I grew up a Canes fans, so it means
the world to me.
Speaker 11 (17:49):
Honestly, just coming in, I wanted to be, you know,
a part of I want to be one of the
guys who bring to you back and we got very close.
Had a really good year this past year. But you know,
hopefully they can continue to build from that.
Speaker 6 (18:02):
Yo, what's up bull Blackman? Here?
Speaker 7 (18:03):
How you're doing?
Speaker 8 (18:03):
I want to be see.
Speaker 7 (18:04):
That's why I couldn't throw up to you.
Speaker 6 (18:05):
I'm a Boston college guy, but man, I want to
There's a rich traditional history of tight ends at the U.
And this is crazy for me to say this, but
I played with Bubble Franks in Green Bay. You got
Jeremy Shockey, Greg Olsen and also played with Jimmy Graham like,
what does that mean to you to be part of
the incredible group?
Speaker 10 (18:22):
Man?
Speaker 11 (18:22):
I just wanted to, you know, come to this school
and leave a legacy like those guys did. So just
having the opportunity to do that, you know, it's it's
such a blessing.
Speaker 2 (18:31):
Elijah. With a draft around the corner.
Speaker 5 (18:34):
You really caught the eye of NFL scouts at the
recent Senior Bowl. What did it mean to you to
go out there and showcase your talent like that against
the best in the country.
Speaker 10 (18:41):
I mean, it's something I felt like I needed to do.
Speaker 11 (18:44):
As you see on the cliffs, I'm just I'm out
there having fun playing football. I mean, that's that's what
I've been doing my whole life. So it really was
anything different going out there in the Senior Bow.
Speaker 3 (18:53):
Did they give you a lot of races candy when
you leave the Senior Bowl?
Speaker 4 (18:56):
I've always wondered that about guys to playing that game.
Speaker 2 (18:59):
Yeah.
Speaker 10 (18:59):
So I'm actually allergic to peanut, but a lot of hershe's.
Speaker 4 (19:08):
I can't. I don't know how they can be.
Speaker 5 (19:10):
We're going to talk to you about marketing right now. Boy,
you don't tell him you're alert to.
Speaker 8 (19:15):
Peenis shut out, just shout out, hurshing, that's true, that's true.
Speaker 4 (19:22):
All right, get this man, a benadryl ad. Maybe all right.
Speaker 3 (19:26):
We were just we were just talking about the tight
ends and the history at your university. But now you're
entering kind of a greater group of that position, which
is in the NFL. We all know tight End University
happens in Nashville every summer. It's a group of personalities
in the NFL that are waiting to welcome you in
the league. What's it been like competing with your fellow
tight ends from the class of twenty twenty five and
(19:47):
getting to know some of those guys at your position group.
Speaker 11 (19:50):
I mean, the tight end room or tight end class
you know, is filled with a lot of great guys.
I feel like, you know, everybody's pretty toll, all the
tight ends, like we're all pretty cool with each other,
you know. I think we're just all genuinely excited for
each other, and you know, we're ready to see each
other except the next level.
Speaker 6 (20:08):
Elijah cam looks like he might be number one to
the Titans on everyone's draft board. If that were to
be true, you give us a little insight of what
Tennessee Titan fans might be getting in this quarterback.
Speaker 11 (20:18):
They getting a dog. I mean, you've seen it on film,
You've seen what he can do. But I would say
most importantly, they getting an elite leader just.
Speaker 10 (20:25):
Off the field.
Speaker 11 (20:26):
He came in from day one and you know he
just brought everybody in, made us closer, and you know
the whole team was willing to work.
Speaker 5 (20:33):
Elijah, Good Morning Football's the NFL show. You got all
the NFL fans watching this. I want you to looking
at camera and tell them what they are getting when
you get drafted.
Speaker 2 (20:42):
What are you going to give that fan base?
Speaker 10 (20:44):
Just know you know exactly what you're gonna get out
of me. Every day.
Speaker 11 (20:47):
I'm gonna be out there giving one hundred to ten percent,
gonna be consistent, and I'm gonna try to be the
best best version of myself for both the team and myself.
Speaker 8 (20:55):
Now, Elijah, you was pretty good on NCAA.
Speaker 2 (20:58):
When you're coming to Madden.
Speaker 8 (21:00):
What do you think your old roll should be?
Speaker 7 (21:02):
And why? Oh?
Speaker 11 (21:04):
I already know they'd be selling out the rook But
I need at least to eighty. I need my speed
to be a ninety. I need that I know I
didn't run my forty, but you know my speed is
on tape, so I'm gonna need that ninety speed.
Speaker 8 (21:19):
And the X Factor Superstar or anything like that.
Speaker 11 (21:22):
I don't expect that yet. Maybe maybe later on in
the year when they have upgraded happen.
Speaker 3 (21:28):
What tight end do you play with in Madden When
you play Elijah, I.
Speaker 11 (21:32):
Feel like Kelsey and Kidd are always overpowered. Define the factors.
Mark Andrews, he's tough too.
Speaker 4 (21:41):
All right, good Elijah Arroyo. Everybody, welcome to the NFL.
We'll just do it early here on GMFB. It was
awesome getting to know you.
Speaker 3 (21:47):
Stay healthy, stay well, and we can't wait to hear
and see how your.
Speaker 4 (21:50):
Story unfolding link.
Speaker 10 (21:51):
Yes, ma'am, thank you.
Speaker 4 (21:53):
All right, Elijah Royal, everybody you can do it? Go ahead, well,
go ahead.
Speaker 5 (21:59):
Yeah, all right, great job, Elijah, Thank you.
Speaker 3 (22:07):
The list of great Ohio state wide receivers in the
NFL is long and distinguished. A Mecca Abuka is the
next in line. As he prepares to hear his name
called on draft night, Abuka talks about his decision to
return to Ohio State last year and the greats that
came before him.
Speaker 12 (22:25):
And then the middle little field bird, Buka got into
the fire and into the end zone in Mecca and
Buka faith plays a role in everything that I do
on and off the field.
Speaker 2 (22:33):
Herebuka is a master of his craft.
Speaker 12 (22:36):
When it came to the end of my junior season
and I wasn't sure whether to return or not, I
just leaned into prayer and I felt like he was
leading me back to Ohio State. We were able to
win the national championship and again on that note, definitely
was a success.
Speaker 7 (22:48):
Good to Ohio State together at the mountaintop.
Speaker 12 (22:52):
That was written in gospelay in the entire time A
Mecca Buka the Ohio State University wide receiver. And when
it comes to Ohio State wide receivers in the NFL,
we're dominated.
Speaker 7 (23:03):
Harvin Harris, the Junior alesident.
Speaker 12 (23:06):
Marvin Harrison, Terry mccorn, Russell Lobbick, Errett Wilson, Jackson Smith,
and Jig. But the list goes on and off. Me
being a part of that room is something that I'm
very prideful for. Just having the opportunity to even be
able to go to that university is a very big
blessing to you. One of my hobbies that has challenged
me and helped me improve in football. Honestly was playing golf.
(23:29):
I learned from golf that translate to the field. I think,
just the levelhead of this and not getting frustrated, not
dwelling on the past. It was a different mental outlet.
A mecca means God is great. My name definitely makes
me feel close to my Nigerian roots, growing up to
respect and honor and revere the name that I have,
something that my father instilled to me from a very
(23:51):
young age, making sure I always knew what having the
last name of Buka meant.
Speaker 2 (23:56):
When my name's.
Speaker 12 (23:57):
Called on draft night, my mom is definitely going to cry.
Speaker 8 (24:00):
I know that one.
Speaker 12 (24:01):
Percent for effect. When it came to you know, camps
and driving me to practice and all the money it
costs to travel. There's no questions asked if I need something,
if I want something, she was there. She provided for me,
the same thing with my father. They all sacrifice so much,
so it's going to be a special moment. This is
a huge milestone in my career, in my journey, something
that our gem does since a little kid.
Speaker 7 (24:21):
Draft night will be.
Speaker 3 (24:23):
Life changing, awesome to get to know those guys ahead
of the NFL Draft, but.
Speaker 4 (24:31):
Sometimes we get to know them a little too well.
Speaker 3 (24:33):
And if you ask Shador Sanders, the critics have been calling.
They are looking for any reason to knock his game down.
Speaker 4 (24:40):
Of course, we have to address this on GMFB.
Speaker 3 (24:42):
We're gonna hear from Shador and we're going to discuss
if any of this is warranted or am I actually
going to say this line on GMFB our haters just
being haters?
Speaker 4 (24:50):
Ugh, We're going to talk Shaitor Sanders.
Speaker 12 (24:52):
Next to the show.
Speaker 2 (25:03):
Good Mo Football.
Speaker 1 (25:07):
Sanders ends up caught touchdown.
Speaker 7 (25:10):
It is Sanders and he will walt touchdown.
Speaker 2 (25:14):
Jump Pop's leave for the first time, ends off for Shepherd.
That's a big hog and he's still tamped.
Speaker 7 (25:20):
Down with it.
Speaker 6 (25:21):
Sanders down the field and a wide open under.
Speaker 9 (25:26):
Unbelievable fires, got a man Sanders to.
Speaker 2 (25:32):
Ron PRA's cotingas.
Speaker 3 (25:36):
Shnor Sanders enters the NFL Draft after helping rebuild both
Jackson State and Colorado on their programs. But despite that,
critics are constantly looking for weaknesses in his game.
Speaker 4 (25:47):
What's the next one.
Speaker 13 (25:48):
It's just funny to see what they come up with it,
you know, because at first it was the arm with
a strong I had a lot of touchdown my side career.
Then it was a pat the ball. That wasn't the
thing before Brode wasn't. I don't get in trouble off
the field, So it's kind of hard from the creation
storyline where the media to keep the agorithm going. So
(26:11):
it's just gonna be fun with the next door.
Speaker 4 (26:14):
Well, at least he has fun with it.
Speaker 3 (26:15):
Shador Sanders has been under the microscope for the majority
of his life, but now critics are coming out in
full force as we gear up for the twenty twenty
five NFL Draft.
Speaker 4 (26:23):
This criticism, gentlemen, logan, I'll start with you.
Speaker 3 (26:26):
Is it warranted when you look at Shador and the
fact that, as he said, he pats the ball. Is
that a problem when you consider what he is and
do you need to hold the prop as he's been
looking at me for a couple of minutes.
Speaker 4 (26:38):
It's like.
Speaker 2 (26:40):
I need that for something, all right, So let's start
with it, right.
Speaker 5 (26:44):
So Shador's problem is, well, the people have his confidence,
and I think that confidence is a prerepresent for success
the NFL.
Speaker 2 (26:52):
I don't know one great NFL player that's not commed.
Speaker 5 (26:54):
He just outready talks about it and it is not
afraid to be himself.
Speaker 2 (26:57):
Now.
Speaker 5 (26:57):
Patting the ball completely overrated, completely, not a big deal.
Majority of quarterbacks pat the ball in the NFL. Aaron
Rodgers pats the ball, Tom Brady pats the ball. Who's
the greatest of all time in my opinion, my very
biased opinion.
Speaker 7 (27:09):
But it's facts, though, So.
Speaker 5 (27:12):
What we do for post safeties most of us play
safety here, most of us to play dB is I'm
studying something you're doing, regardless whether you hit your back foot,
We're going to find a tick. We had ticks on
Ben Roethlisberger. I'm not going to share in New England
that we knew how to get the ball off of him.
And then I think the biggest thing I look at
is when a quarterback drops back and his hand comes
off the ball.
Speaker 2 (27:31):
That's when I'm going regardless. Right now, it's about how
quick you're released.
Speaker 5 (27:34):
Because if Shad or takes his hand off the ball
and then he pats and he goes, if it's quicker,
doesn't matter. Because if a guy takes his hand off
the ball with no pet but then he takes a
long wind up, I'm going anyway So my whole point
is that my job is a safety in the NFL
is to study of the quarterback, and all week long,
I'm trying to find something that he does that's going
to dictate where the play is going to go, who's
going to throw to. There are quarterbacks who their stance changes.
(27:56):
When their feet are square, it's going to be a
run play. When their feet's staggered, it's going to be
a pass play. There are many quarterbacks in the NFL
that when they sit there Green eighty, Green eighty, the
last place they look is the side that they're going
to throw. So if I know from studying a guy
that the last place he looks in his cadence is
where he's gonna throw, I'm already weaving a move my
way over there. So Shador has something that people can
(28:16):
break on, but everyone has something we can break on.
Speaker 2 (28:18):
I think they don't like himcause he's just too confident.
Speaker 3 (28:20):
I worked at the quarterback once who said that he
retrained himself to come out of the huddle after calling
a play the same way each time because he realized
that he was actually like kneeling when it was like
a run play, and then he would like jump up
when it was a pass play because he was getting
ready himself. So like even that tiny thing you're watching
a guy break a huddle, or it can.
Speaker 4 (28:37):
Be little gibbs. What do you think, Well, oh, now
he needs the ball. It's a talking ball.
Speaker 6 (28:44):
No, you made a great point. It's really it is
the film study. Like we started with situational football. I mean,
you played for the situational Master. So first of all,
I'm looking at what's going on around and sure enough, right,
it's the Tendency's what I learned when they came to
patting the ball. It just helps with timing. A lot
of quarterbacks quick pats with timing. And I've been very,
very blessed my first four years, my first six years
(29:06):
in the league. I was with farv who passed the ball.
I was with Aaron Rodgers who passed the ball. And
some may say that probably the one of the most
clutch throws of all time was when Eli threw it
to David Tyree. And in that certain play, sure enough, yeah,
he broke like ten twenty tackles and ravenfore he threw
the ball to Tyree.
Speaker 8 (29:26):
He patted the ball.
Speaker 6 (29:27):
And so I actually interviewed ed ree here we go
right here? Sure enough, look at Eli fighting through get
through that easy, get through that.
Speaker 2 (29:36):
Pat and he couldn't even see it as a dB.
Speaker 7 (29:40):
You can't even see it as a dB.
Speaker 8 (29:41):
Otherwise this ball would have got taken.
Speaker 6 (29:44):
And I actually interviewed Ed Reed right here on this
show and he told me, he said, look, as soon
as the quarterback pulls the pin.
Speaker 7 (29:51):
I'm gone like this right here. Guys can do this
all day.
Speaker 6 (29:53):
That's why you're not going to share the Ben Roethlisberg,
because Ben would do this all day.
Speaker 7 (29:57):
As soon as you pull the pin, that's where we
would go.
Speaker 4 (29:59):
All right, Nick, you're currently playing in the NFL. What
are you watching?
Speaker 8 (30:03):
I'm watching everything, looking at it, the whole package, watching everything,
watching formations. I'm watching you know, where the quarterback likes
to go, where the big money guys are, the guys
in the slot, you know, to say, they usually say
something's up, you know, if he's an outside guy on
the inside to get the ball. If he's on the outside,
you know, the inside going outside, something's usually going on there.
(30:24):
But just something in general, just you know, like I
said in college, azed you lineup twenty yards, line them
just shit back there. My college coach hated it, but
I did it just so that you know, when the
quarterback reached that back foot and look, you know, I
was like, okay, you know, in my head it's the clock.
You know, if he has enough time to sit there
and go from here from one side and reset his
feet to the other side of the field, we need
(30:46):
new pass rushers. So I feel like, you know, once
he gets to that backfoot and again once the hand
come off the pen, he's only going one of one places,
and that's the receiver. So you know, you can pack
the ball back there all the time. You know, even
when I'm sitting there and I think I'm a quarterback
at time, I'll sit down, I'll just you know, give
it a little pat and fling the ball. I probably
don't throw as well should, but you know, at the
end of the day, I feel like everybody's just finding
(31:08):
something again, like I said earlier, just to you know,
bring him down. I feel like, like I said, he's
had a great chance at a great stat line at Colorado,
at Jacksonville State. Some people sit there and say some
of his completions were only five ten yards, you know,
intermediate short throws, but you can see he has great
touch on the deep ball. Him and Travis had a
great connection down there. And at the end of the day,
(31:28):
he won football games and that's all that matters.
Speaker 6 (31:30):
He's overst seventy percent completion center it. Yeah, over seventy
and four thousand yards. Like, what are we doing?
Speaker 3 (31:35):
So I would say to answer the question at the
bottom of the screen, is the criticism warranted? I'm gathering
that it's not that warrented from the from the pool here, okay,
perfect logan. You mentioned the things that you used to watch,
and if it's not padding the ball, then what would
you watch in the quarterback?
Speaker 4 (31:49):
Oh my god, you guys so ball dependent.
Speaker 2 (31:51):
Made it list.
Speaker 5 (31:52):
We really get We got to if you could take
this away, this makes you a lot of money.
Speaker 10 (31:57):
Right.
Speaker 5 (31:57):
I used to say every interception is actually a million
a year on the next contract, right, And that's how
important this ball is.
Speaker 2 (32:01):
And that is exactly what we are studying every single place.
Speaker 7 (32:06):
Take notes.
Speaker 2 (32:07):
I am right. What are some of the things I
would look at?
Speaker 5 (32:10):
I told you sometimes the quarterback stances will tell me
if it's run past. I tell you sometimes the way
they look where they last look would be something. How
about Drew Brees. Let's talk about the great Drew Brees.
Right as ackers they get Hall of Fame quarterback, one
of the best to ever do it. He would lick
his fingers on pass plays. You ever see Drew Brees
lick his hands all the time, So he would always
lick his hands right before for grip. And we noticed
sometimes when he was licking his fingers before the snap
(32:31):
that it was going to be a pass play. So
there are certain things that everyone has a tendency. It's
just how deep are you willing to go look at it?
In New England, we were looking for every single thing
we could find, anything possible. And then myself as a player,
what I might have lacked in top end speed while
I have lacked, I made in my mind and I
was finding little tendency so I can break faster. And
(32:51):
I talk to some of my friends where quarterbacks around
the league about the shad or patting thing.
Speaker 2 (32:55):
They didn't think it was a big deal.
Speaker 5 (32:56):
Either, And I said, is it something you can get
out of his system?
Speaker 2 (32:58):
Is it something?
Speaker 5 (32:59):
And he said it's a non issue because sometimes you
pat doesn't mean you're gonna throw it there either. So
I break if I'm a quarterback and Aaron Rodgers is
a big guy who pats the ball and he's probably
the best thrower of the football of all time. Yeah, right,
if I sit here and I patt and I'm going
this way, but I don't throw it, then I'm breaking
that way. Then it comes down the middle. So he's
patting with his feet, But that doesn't necessarily he's going
to throw it. So the pat isn't necessarily where he's
(33:20):
gonna go. Yeah, maybe seven out of ten will go there,
But what about the three times where he pats it this.
Speaker 2 (33:24):
Way and comes back. So I don't think it's the
automatic trigger.
Speaker 5 (33:27):
Our biggest thing is what Nick talked about, when you
get back to your back foot and once that hand
comes off the ball.
Speaker 2 (33:32):
Because Aaron Rodgers has won, very few others.
Speaker 5 (33:34):
Can pump fake with one hand. When you get a
pump fake, they pump fake with two hands. When a
guy takes his hand off the ball with one hand,
the ball has to go. Most guys don't have big
enough hands of pump fake with one hand. Sure, Aaron
Rodgers is an exception of that.
Speaker 6 (33:45):
If there's anything like maybe in quick game, right, like
if it's empty formation.
Speaker 7 (33:51):
Obviously it's not gonna be a run. Maybe a quarterback run.
Speaker 6 (33:53):
Yeah, but maybe quick game one, two, three, and if
he pats, there's an opportunity. But I would say with
Drew Brees, I feel like he's always licking his fingers.
Speaker 8 (34:00):
Like he might be he might be making a call,
do this.
Speaker 7 (34:03):
He might be taking notes. He does this.
Speaker 6 (34:05):
Sometimes he's just on the sideline watching, just doing this.
Speaker 3 (34:09):
Well, it's so, I mean, I don't I want everybody
to stop doing this motion, please terrible.
Speaker 2 (34:15):
It works for him, though, it does, and it did,
and he was on his tippy toes because you see.
Speaker 4 (34:20):
It was like this, so it sounds like Shador Sanders.
Speaker 3 (34:23):
Whatever he hears, he can let it wash off his
back and he's kind of waiting for the next criticism.
Speaker 4 (34:28):
But this is not This is the tales, the oldest time.
When it comes to quarterbacks coming into the NFL.
Speaker 3 (34:32):
You play with Anthony Richardson right now on across in
Indianapolis Colts. He is somebody in Richardson that didn't play
a lot in college. There was a ton to critigue
and it wasn't his back flips. It was the way
he played quarterback in the NFL what have you witnessed
from this young quarterback in terms of just the constant
barrage of criticism.
Speaker 8 (34:51):
First of all, shout out my guy, Anthony, my dog.
You know what I'm saying. Phenomenal talent. You know, one
of the one of the best I've seen. You know,
physically six five two fifty runs four four, not as
fast as me, but you know, at the end of
the day, he'll he gets out in open space and
he's a problem. You know, elite arm talent, can make
(35:11):
all the throws and everything. You know, he's a young guy,
he's twenty two years old, someone who has a very
very bright future ahead, someone who I wholeheartedly believe in.
And you know, it's just it's not a matter of
if it's a matter of wind, you know what I'm saying.
Every every great quarterback has had their their ups and downs.
You know, Peyton Manning, you know, led the league interceptions
(35:31):
of the rookie. You know, Aaron Rodgers sat behind Brett
fav for a little bit. So I mean, everybody has
their their own path And something I learned from another great,
you know for my career, Stefan Gilmour is always everybody
has their own race.
Speaker 10 (35:43):
Just run your own race.
Speaker 8 (35:45):
So I mean, I feel like, you know, at the
end of the day, some people are a little hard
on the kids. You know what I'm saying. Everybody, you know,
everybody's path is different. He only played one year of
college playing at Florida, But at the end of the day,
he's learning at a high pace. He wants to learn,
He's willing to learn. At the end of day, he's
an ultimate competitor. Always goes out there.
Speaker 10 (36:02):
You know.
Speaker 8 (36:02):
You see in the New England game, you know, constantly running,
you know the Jets game, running guys over, you know,
having guys getting up, wobbling in the end zone. You know,
from all of that, he's gonna put his body on
the line for the team and ultimately he's a great
team guy.
Speaker 3 (36:15):
All right, let me ask you this, just watching that
quick highlight of Anthony Richardson, because I'm now all I
watched is for the.
Speaker 4 (36:20):
Pat and I'm just say, does he do it? Does
he do it?
Speaker 3 (36:23):
When he did it in that clip, he actually took
off running after his pat. So the breed of the quarterback.
And I'll ask this of all of you, which is
how much more challenging is it to approach a quarterback
that you know has that gidea up and not just
a guy who was sitting there passing, because like patting
the ball if you're Rogers or Roethlisberger is vastly different
than if you're padding, and you might take off if
(36:44):
you're Anthony Richardson or Justin Fields for example.
Speaker 5 (36:47):
Right, So it's gonna change how you play defense, going
to change your pass rushers yep, right, are they rushing
to go get to a spot? Are we trying to
contain a guy so he doesn't run and then it
can for the great ones. It's going to really change.
It's gonna make the coverage last longer. We call it
the second play with Patrick Mahomes, with jaln It hurts
with some of Lamar Jackson especially. You got to cover
a guy and then he breaks contain of the pocket.
(37:09):
Now you got to cover him again. You know, the
average play in the NFL last three or four seconds.
When you're playing Josh Allen, that played my last eight seconds.
It's a lot longer than you're used to. You got
to cover that second play against those guys. So that's
what the great dual threat.
Speaker 2 (37:20):
I don't want to call it.
Speaker 5 (37:21):
Duel threat anymore. That's an old terminouty. That's what the
great quarterbacks do nowadays, because the legs is a big
part of it.
Speaker 7 (37:26):
No, it's a huge part.
Speaker 6 (37:26):
And especially if you have a quarterback that is very accurate,
who can be a pocket passer and who can also run,
that's where it gets extremely dangerous, dangerous. Like we played
against you know, Kaepernick, where you know he was better
against man, so we would try to play zone because
sure he would pass the ball and then he would
take off because he was extremely dangerous with his legs.
But playing against somebody like Josh Allen or even before
(37:47):
Aaron got hurt, he started running a little bit more
like people. It was kind of like the underrated skill
of his because he was known for getting the football
out really well, but just moving around like it's very
very difficult and dangerous.
Speaker 8 (37:58):
Yeah, I feel like when you have somebody back there
who has no threat to run, it says, okay, you
know your pass rushers can pin their ears back and
go get the quarterback. But you know, at the end
of the day, whether there's third down, second down, you know,
primarily on third down. It's one of those things where
you know, everybody in coverage doing their thing. You know,
you've got to rely on your d line to go
out there and make sure that their pass rush lands
are secure because one crease and you know, someone like
(38:20):
Anthony or someone like your door or someone like that's
going to take off and run. And that's a whole
different ball game when you know you're covering back there
chasing after somebody. Then you look back and the quarterbacks
is running down the field and somebody like Anthony at six',
five you, know two fifty is like here we, Go,
like you, know we've got to go corral this guy
before we get to the first. Down so it's kind
of a it's a great thing for for us as
the team to have somebody like, that BUT i know
(38:40):
it's a nightmare for defenses to have to sit, there
and you, know especially because you, know nine times out of,
TEN i believe he's gonna get you're going to get
the first. Down it's, like you, know you have to
go out there and play another set of four downs
to go out there and try to get off the field.
Speaker 4 (38:51):
Again you just patted the ball twenty seven.

caught up on it. I'm excited to be here, but
I love talking NFL.
Speaker 3 (01:06):
Okay, good Will, what are you up to these days

Speaker 4 (01:31):
Nick Cross shooting?
Speaker 8 (01:33):
Off season going well, just train and just enjoying some
time out there on the golf course, relaxing, spending time
with my friends and family. So it's against a good
off season.
Speaker 4 (01:41):
And trying out some TV along the way.
Speaker 8 (01:43):
Oh yeah, just a little bit.
Speaker 2 (01:44):
All right, good time.
Speaker 3 (01:45):
Well right, I know, golf wine. We're fine at the table.
Tom Pellasero, good morning to you. Welcome inside GMFB. Haven't
talked to you in a couple of days. But the
fact that we are now ten days away from the
NFL Draft, things are heating up.
Speaker 4 (01:59):
Prospects are wrapping up their pre draft.
Speaker 3 (02:00):
Visits soon, and there's a couple of big names that
we have to cover today. Of course, let's start with
Shador Sanders and where his frequent flyer miles are taking him.
Speaker 9 (02:09):
That's right, Jamie Shadour Sanders is headed to Las Vegas tonight.
Speaker 7 (02:14):
For a visit with the Raiders.
Speaker 9 (02:16):
Now this is in trigguery because of course, Las Vegas
earlier this offseason made the trades sending a third round
pick in Seattle for Gino Smith, who they also signed
to an enhanced contract. But there certainly is always a
longer term need at the quarterback.
Speaker 7 (02:31):
Position for Shadur.
Speaker 9 (02:32):
He's also visited the Browns, he has visited the Giants.
He spent time last week with Mike Tomlin and the
Pittsburgh Steelers. The Raiders, sitting at number six, are in
a position where if if Shador Sanders slides out of
those top three spots, potentially that could be in play. Also,
Abdul Carter, the penn State edge rusher, is headed to
(02:56):
New England and is visiting the Patriots today. For Carter,
he has now visited all of the top four teams
in this draft.
Speaker 7 (03:03):
The Patriot This would seem to be the floor.
Speaker 9 (03:05):
While there's been a lot of discussion recently about Travis
Hunter going to the Browns or the Giants, other team
ending up with Abdul Carter. It would also be a
scenario where if one of those teams decides, for instance,
to take a quarterback, Abdul Carter could be sitting there
for the Patriots. That would certainly be an ideal scenario
for New England. Important to get Carter in two for
(03:26):
pre draft visit because he's had multiple injuries that he's
been dealing with during the pre draft process. This gives
them an opportunity to get him in person, spend some
time with him, check him out one more time. It
does sound like medically, Jamie, everything is on track for
Abdul Carter in these final ten days until the NFL jery.
Speaker 3 (03:43):
You imagine the way Mike Rabele would act if he
got his hands on Abdul Carter on that defense. I
think that would be quite the gift for the new
coach in New England but not new to running a defense,
especially with the Patriots Jersey on.
Speaker 4 (03:54):
All right, let's move elsewhere New Orleans.
Speaker 3 (03:56):
Mike, excuse me, Tom Pellisara, I don't even know who
which insider is on with us today?
Speaker 4 (04:01):
Derek Carr, I.
Speaker 3 (04:02):
Know you know, y'all, look alike, No, you don't you
have hair, Yeah, you have hair, Derek Carr. There was
news about the Saints quarterback over the weekend. Where does
that put New Orleans and their current quarterback situation? As
you just mentioned they have a top ten pick.
Speaker 10 (04:17):
Well.
Speaker 9 (04:17):
The Saints are set to kick off their off season
workout program under their new head coach Kellen Moore today,
which means veteran players are starting to come back into
the building. And when Derek Carr was preparing to arrive,
it became a parent that he is dealing with a
shoulder injury that puts his twenty twenty five season in jeopardy.
I understanding is this is not a new or recent
(04:39):
shoulder injury for Derek Carr. He's obviously taken a lot
of hits over the years and it's.
Speaker 7 (04:44):
Something that he has been dealing with. This has been a.
Speaker 9 (04:47):
Very unusual off season for Derek Carr, who early back
after last season had talked with certain teammates about potentially walking.
Speaker 7 (04:55):
Away and retiring. He went back and.
Speaker 9 (04:57):
Forth with the Saints, who wanted him to take a
pay cut. Car eventually called their bluff. The Saints did
a salary conversion in early March to free up cap space,
which is something you would not think they would do
if they thought that there was any issue with Derek
Carr being ready to play the twenty twenty five season.
So where this all leaves us is Derek Carr has
a decision to make. Will he undergo surgery the potentially
(05:18):
would take him out for the twenty twenty five season,
or could he try to rehab and play through it.
Either way, the Saints have been doing their homework on
the rookie quarterbacks in recent weeks. They've had visits with
several of the top candidates. Quarterback now as much as
ever certainly potentially in play for the Saints at number nine.
Speaker 2 (05:38):
James.
Speaker 3 (05:38):
I can't tell if this is the kind of situation
that Kellen Moore wants to be coaching in or not. Regardless,
this is the hand that he was dealt as the
new head coach in No.
Speaker 4 (05:45):
Orleans Saints.
Speaker 3 (05:46):
Tom Pellis, Sarah, thank you very much for all that
information as it pertains to NFL News over the weekend.
We will talk to you in a little bit. All right,
Let's look at the Saints and a situation that they
were not preparing for when it comes to the draft,
which is they thought they were standing pat with Derek Carr,
they might not have him Logan Ryan. So what did
the Saints do if you were going to play GM
for this team? Do you draft someone, do you trade
(06:07):
for a veteran or are you fully preparing to take
one of these rookie quarterbacks and have him lead your team?
Speaker 2 (06:12):
Well, I'll tell you what.
Speaker 5 (06:12):
This is a state of emergency for the Saint When
your franchise starting quarterback goes down right before OTA's and
you got to go in here with no idea what
to do with it.
Speaker 2 (06:21):
You got to bring a quarterback in.
Speaker 5 (06:22):
I don't think it's a rookie quarterback route though, I
think it's a veteran quarterback. You have Spencer Ratler there,
a young guy at is your Kanye rookie quarterback on
the roster, But is he inspiring and leading his teammates?
I don't know yet. I haven't seen that. I would
bring in a guy who won a championship last year,
not a Super Bowl. Teddy Bridgewater, Teddy two Gloves, a.
Speaker 3 (06:40):
High school coach in Florida, winning a state title, and
now he's going to go play for the Saints.
Speaker 5 (06:45):
Yeah, and I think Will can agree when Anybody that's
played with or against Teddy Bridgewater has respect for this man.
This man knows the game. He takes care of the football.
This guy was a Pro Bowl type quarterback. We had
a devastating leg injury. He has a respect among the league.
He's smart. I played against him in college in Louisville.
Speaker 2 (07:01):
He took a Sugar Bowl away from me there.
Speaker 7 (07:04):
And he's in the state's Junior A coming and he's
been there.
Speaker 5 (07:07):
He's been in that city. He's been behind Drew Brees.
He's smart, he's accurate, he's a leader. I think he
can lead Spencer Ratler to be your bridge quarterback or maybe.
Speaker 2 (07:14):
Extend his career himself.
Speaker 5 (07:16):
I like Teddy Bridgewater to go in there and look
who they have on that roster. Alvin Kamara great back,
pass catching back. You have Chris Alave, great young wide receiver.
You ever see Shaheed So they have options. Yeah, and
they brought cooksbacks. They have options to throw the ball.
You need a quarterback coming and throw the ball. I
like Teddy Bridgeward. He's available, he has a lot of respect.
I think he can go in there. When when that
locker room over quickly, the man.
Speaker 3 (07:36):
Hasn't played or started a football game in quite some time.
You're going to bring him in learn a whole new
playbook with a rookie head coach. And that's the situation
that you think is best suited for the Saints.
Speaker 5 (07:47):
Well, who can learn a playbook faster than a coach himself?
I think Teddy Bridgwater can learn that playbook.
Speaker 3 (07:52):
Great logan, right, Okay, I have been on vacation.
Speaker 4 (07:56):
I did not expect that comeback.
Speaker 5 (07:58):
So I think Teddy Bridgeward is smart enough to go
in there. Like I said, he's played for the Saints.
He knows what football means down there. I don't think
it's a big ask for him, and I have respect
for the guy playing against him because he does it
the right way.
Speaker 6 (08:07):
Right now, that's been a trend, right You got case Keenum,
you know, coming back, you got Josh Johnson who's on
another team. He's the backup quarterback for the Commanders. But
just what you said with the roster, listen to all
I'm gonna say, Aaron Rodgers, Oh listen, the names back
out there. Bring Aaron Rodgers for that reason, to bring
in a veteran presence, to have guys you got two
(08:28):
gun slingers on the staff already and me on the
roster with Spencer Rally and Jake Hanner, guys who were
just in the spread offense just know what to do
with it. And I think Aaron Rodgers it's a situation
full of the exact same weapons, and what I would do,
I will still address the issue in the draft and
I would go get a quarterback like Jalen Morroe. He
did have a private workout with the Saints. Kellen Moore
was just what Jalen hurts in very very similar comp
(08:51):
for me in terms of what they can do. And
so I like that for the Saints. But right now, man,
what they're trying to do they got they literally lost
a franchise quarterback or potentially losing one. I would go
get Aaron Rodgers, and if he wants to play, man,
I'm calling him all day long.
Speaker 4 (09:04):
Let me think, Nick.
Speaker 8 (09:05):
I mean, I think it depends on what the organization
wants to do, right I mean, I feel like, you know,
if you're in a win now situation, you got to
go get the veteran. You got to get somebody who's proven,
who knows what they're doing. If you have a little
bit of patience. You know, you can go and draft
a rookie quarterback and have them, you know, go through
their potential growing pains and whatnot. But I feel like
with the team they have, you know, the offensive, the
weapons they have, you know, Alvin Kamara, Chris o'lave, they
(09:28):
signed my boy, Jawan Johnson back with an extension. I
feel like they got to go and go get a vet,
you know, Aaron Rodgers, and like Will said, even though
you know, you can address a quarterback at the end
of the in the draft, in the later rounds or something.
You know, maybe a Jackson Dart if you know, if
he slides a little bit, or the kid from Louisville,
or even Jaylen Mirroe. I think that the Saints are
best suitor to get a veteran quarterback right now in
(09:50):
order to go and try to achieve their dreams.
Speaker 3 (09:52):
You were with a first time head coach and a
rookie quarterback in Indianapolis when Shane Stiken arrived in Anthony Richardson,
do you think that is an ideal situation because it's
two new people arriving at the NFL. Or do you
think maybe paired with the first time head coach and
Kellen Moore you should go veteran.
Speaker 4 (10:09):
Is that part of your arguments as well?
Speaker 8 (10:11):
I would say I think it just depends on the situation.
I think that you know, with Shane coming in and
bringing in a rookie quarterback, I think they both, you know,
came in together and you know they're tied at the hip.
I feel like, you know, Shane is able to help
Anthony in so many ways and you know, bringing in
this kind of a breath of fresh air for both
both parties of players and the coaches. So I'm not
totally sure. I think that, you know, I like the
way our dynamic is. You know, Shane's a great guy,
(10:33):
you know, to lead Anthony. Anthony is a great guy
and has a very bright future. But you know, I
feel like with the rookie head coach and in the situation,
I do feel like maybe a veteran quarterback would be
you know, good to help not only bridge and ease
the ease the team, but also just to have a
calming force in that locker room. Yeah.
Speaker 6 (10:50):
Well, you have a great example. You were there with
Flacco when he came in. What was that like when
he was in the room.
Speaker 8 (10:55):
Oh, Flacco was great. You know what I'm saying. I
feel like a great leader, guy who can calm the
locker room down, someone who who's in there and he
doesn't really say a lot in the locker room, but
funny guy. Just someone with a lot of charisma and
go out there and sling the rock and you know,
helped us win a couple games during the season. But
at the end of the day, I feel like wherever
whoever the Saints go with, I think it'll be good,
(11:15):
you know, with that team that they have going down there.
Speaker 3 (11:17):
All right, So now we have this basket of teams
that we just have to put a new one in
in terms of quarterback in THEED, which makes Shad Door
Sanders and.
Speaker 4 (11:23):
Other prospects pretty happy about that.
Speaker 3 (11:25):
Do you think the Saints logan is that a pathway
that the Sanders family would want to engage their son
in because we all know that when it comes to
prime and it's a business and he knows what he
is signing his kid up for, he's very involved.
Speaker 4 (11:40):
Should do were Sanders to the Saints? Is that a possibility?
Speaker 5 (11:42):
Well, I think from the Sanders perspective, the Saints have
to come up and go get them because I think
Shador Sanders going number two to Cleveland, I truly. I
know we want to have all the speculation and he's
falling or out, but I don't think so. I think
that kid has won everywhere he's been to And if
you're a young quarterback in the NFL, you're going to
face adversity. All players are going to face adversity, and
it seems like he is built to handle it as
good as any prospect we've had come out the draft.
(12:03):
He's used to having the cameras on him, you know,
he's used to having to having to be doubted and
and all that stuff, and he's used to having the
spotlight of being deon sun. That's hard for anybody to do,
so I think Shador is.
Speaker 2 (12:15):
Used to that.
Speaker 5 (12:15):
I think he can he can win in most situations.
I think he's gonna have a great rookie year wherever
he goes. And look, we talked about the roster the
Saints have, and this is the problem I have with
the Saints even drafting a young quarterback right now, even
though Shador might want this, is that they have an
aging roster, especially defensively.
Speaker 2 (12:32):
I mean, all their stars.
Speaker 5 (12:33):
Are you know, Honey Badger's still there, Cam Jordan, the
Mario Davis. I don't know many more years they have,
but you know there. So I feel like they need
to bring somebody to who is ready to win now.
Like you said at Aaron Rodgers, I said to Teddy Bridgewater.
But for Shador, I think it's a great fit for him. However,
I think Cleveland's not moving off that number two pick.
Speaker 2 (12:49):
Yeah.
Speaker 6 (12:50):
I feel like you made a good point on the
defense side, like at number nine, like they lost Paulsner
debl to the Giants.
Speaker 2 (12:55):
Yep, they lost.
Speaker 6 (12:56):
They traded away Marshall Lottimore. So I think they really
got to get a corner and really address the defensive
side because they getting older. But I definitely don't think
he's gonna be there if not too. I like number
three for Shador for the Giants for all the reasons
you said, like that big media New York market. I
think for me, like Ivy in a quarterback, everyone's so
you know, enamored with the throw, and I think between
the ears, I think he's lights out in terms of
(13:18):
how he handles like the pressure, the leader. There's a
situation where he overthrew Travis Hunt in the game. Hunter
was ticked off about it and said something to the sideline,
and Shador totally checked him and shut it down and
rate then and there going in and threw a no
touchdown to him. So I love Shador to New York
for that reason.
Speaker 8 (13:33):
Yeah, I feel like, you know, Shador is a great
guy ever since, you know, even in high school, winning
high school college, you know, Jacksonville State going to Colorado,
bringing that or that swag to Colorado. I think it'd
be great for a team. Is New Orleans a fit
not sure, you know, like you said, the aging defense,
the weapons on offense that are there right now, something
where you need to win right now. New York is
(13:54):
another a team you know, trying to build and grow
through some adversity and everything. So you know, do you
put him there with Russell Wilson and Jameis Winston and
have him grow under them with that media market and
also just have a a great, you know, charismatic guy
come through. I know a lot of people, you know,
kind of sit there and bash him for his quote
unquote arrogance or whatever. But I feel like he has
you know, a confidence, unwaivering confidence, you know, he to
(14:17):
come from and go in Jacksonville State, to go to
Colorado teams that weren't very successful in the past, and
to go out there and and bring them to some
level of stardom and spotlight is phenomenal. So and just
you know, to have that Sanders name, you know, Deon
said it himself. You know, when you have that Sanders name,
you know it's something different. They're always going to find something,
critique and everything. So I just feel like for him,
(14:39):
I think wherever he goes, he's gonna shine. He's going
to do well, and he's going to be successful wherever
he goes.
Speaker 7 (14:43):
Yet, dB swag as a quarterback.
Speaker 4 (14:45):
Come on, man, right, it's in the blood.
Speaker 2 (14:47):
It's in the blood.
Speaker 6 (14:47):
It's at the table.
Speaker 3 (14:48):
H Yeah, you don't want your quarterback with his chin
dropped coming into the huddle. So I hear you on
the confidence that you need at that position. It's draft season, everybody.
I got this viner in front of me. We are
studying up. We got interviews this week with a lot
of the prospects, and that means as well.
Speaker 4 (15:01):
Path to the draft is back.
Speaker 3 (15:02):
Our experts take you inside the room for prospect evaluations
to draft needs for all thirty two teams.
Speaker 4 (15:09):
Got you covered.
Speaker 3 (15:10):
Passed to the Draft, presented by Harbor Freight tonight and
every weeknight at six pm, sir and on Edical Network,
or you can stream it on NFL Plus. Still to
come on our show a little later on, we are
going to really dig into short our sanders.
Speaker 4 (15:23):
Did we not just do that?
Speaker 3 (15:23):
No, we have to continue because, as Nick Kross just said,
the critics are out there.
Speaker 4 (15:28):
But is it warranted? Is this a bunch of nonsense?
Speaker 3 (15:31):
I'm talking patting the ball and what it all means
as a quarterback spot.
Speaker 4 (15:35):
Of course, we have to talk about that on GMFB
on a Monday. Still to come home.
Speaker 3 (15:38):
There's a long line of tradition for a tight end university,
University of Miami's someone out.
Speaker 4 (15:43):
There is holding up the U with their hands. We
see you. Who's next in line.
Speaker 3 (15:46):
His name is Elijah Arroyo and we're going to meet
him next on GMFB dB at the table.
Speaker 4 (15:52):
My gosh, everybody's dropping their prend day.
Speaker 2 (16:05):
Good morning football.
Speaker 3 (16:07):
We're back on GMF and we're getting to know all
of the prospects whose names you will hear next week
in Green Bay. And this next one is one of
the top tight end prospects in this year's draft. He
was a standout at the Resa Senior ball. As we
welcome in from the University of Miami and Elijah Royo
go on, We're great. Great, it's obligatory. You hear it,
(16:31):
and you want to know it's just your hands all
come together.
Speaker 4 (16:35):
All right, Elijah, Let's.
Speaker 3 (16:41):
Go through some of your history and work through how
you got here. You had a major knee injury early
in your college career. You missed most of the twenty
two and twenty three season with a torney cl But
now you are preparing to hear your name called in
Green Bay next week as you prepare to enter the NFL.
Someone would have told you that that this is your
reality now in football.
Speaker 4 (17:01):
How would that make you feel?
Speaker 11 (17:03):
I never really doubt it that honestly. You know, I've
had injuries throughout my career, but you know, I always,
you know, had a goal in mind, which is to
make it to the league. And now that this year,
you know, I'm trying to, you know, excel at the
next level.
Speaker 8 (17:16):
What's up, Elijah? First of all, I just want to
say I've used your n Cuba multiple times, very very
when it comes to third down, you know them, corner
routes and everything. I appreciate you for all the success
providing me on C double.
Speaker 10 (17:28):
A sure, but hopefully I made you some money.
Speaker 8 (17:32):
I'm not saying all that, but you definitely remember some
games for sure. You left the heartfelt goodbye message on
your Instagram to the University of Miami and the fans.
What about being a hurricane was so important? And what
does that mean to you?
Speaker 11 (17:45):
Man?
Speaker 10 (17:45):
So I grew up a Canes fans, so it means
the world to me.
Speaker 11 (17:49):
Honestly, just coming in, I wanted to be, you know,
a part of I want to be one of the
guys who bring to you back and we got very close.
Had a really good year this past year. But you know,
hopefully they can continue to build from that.
Speaker 6 (18:02):
Yo, what's up bull Blackman? Here?
Speaker 7 (18:03):
How you're doing?
Speaker 8 (18:03):
I want to be see.
Speaker 7 (18:04):
That's why I couldn't throw up to you.
Speaker 6 (18:05):
I'm a Boston college guy, but man, I want to
There's a rich traditional history of tight ends at the U.
And this is crazy for me to say this, but
I played with Bubble Franks in Green Bay. You got
Jeremy Shockey, Greg Olsen and also played with Jimmy Graham like,
what does that mean to you to be part of
the incredible group?
Speaker 10 (18:22):
Man?
Speaker 11 (18:22):
I just wanted to, you know, come to this school
and leave a legacy like those guys did. So just
having the opportunity to do that, you know, it's it's
such a blessing.
Speaker 2 (18:31):
Elijah. With a draft around the corner.
Speaker 5 (18:34):
You really caught the eye of NFL scouts at the
recent Senior Bowl. What did it mean to you to
go out there and showcase your talent like that against
the best in the country.
Speaker 10 (18:41):
I mean, it's something I felt like I needed to do.
Speaker 11 (18:44):
As you see on the cliffs, I'm just I'm out
there having fun playing football. I mean, that's that's what
I've been doing my whole life. So it really was
anything different going out there in the Senior Bow.
Speaker 3 (18:53):
Did they give you a lot of races candy when
you leave the Senior Bowl?
Speaker 4 (18:56):
I've always wondered that about guys to playing that game.
Speaker 2 (18:59):
Yeah.
Speaker 10 (18:59):
So I'm actually allergic to peanut, but a lot of hershe's.
Speaker 4 (19:08):
I can't. I don't know how they can be.
Speaker 5 (19:10):
We're going to talk to you about marketing right now. Boy,
you don't tell him you're alert to.
Speaker 8 (19:15):
Peenis shut out, just shout out, hurshing, that's true, that's true.
Speaker 4 (19:22):
All right, get this man, a benadryl ad. Maybe all right.
Speaker 3 (19:26):
We were just we were just talking about the tight
ends and the history at your university. But now you're
entering kind of a greater group of that position, which
is in the NFL. We all know tight End University
happens in Nashville every summer. It's a group of personalities
in the NFL that are waiting to welcome you in
the league. What's it been like competing with your fellow
tight ends from the class of twenty twenty five and
(19:47):
getting to know some of those guys at your position group.
Speaker 11 (19:50):
I mean, the tight end room or tight end class
you know, is filled with a lot of great guys.
I feel like, you know, everybody's pretty toll, all the
tight ends, like we're all pretty cool with each other,
you know. I think we're just all genuinely excited for
each other, and you know, we're ready to see each
other except the next level.
Speaker 6 (20:08):
Elijah cam looks like he might be number one to
the Titans on everyone's draft board. If that were to
be true, you give us a little insight of what
Tennessee Titan fans might be getting in this quarterback.
Speaker 11 (20:18):
They getting a dog. I mean, you've seen it on film,
You've seen what he can do. But I would say
most importantly, they getting an elite leader just.
Speaker 10 (20:25):
Off the field.
Speaker 11 (20:26):
He came in from day one and you know he
just brought everybody in, made us closer, and you know
the whole team was willing to work.
Speaker 5 (20:33):
Elijah, Good Morning Football's the NFL show. You got all
the NFL fans watching this. I want you to looking
at camera and tell them what they are getting when
you get drafted.
Speaker 2 (20:42):
What are you going to give that fan base?
Speaker 10 (20:44):
Just know you know exactly what you're gonna get out
of me. Every day.
Speaker 11 (20:47):
I'm gonna be out there giving one hundred to ten percent,
gonna be consistent, and I'm gonna try to be the
best best version of myself for both the team and myself.
Speaker 8 (20:55):
Now, Elijah, you was pretty good on NCAA.
Speaker 2 (20:58):
When you're coming to Madden.
Speaker 8 (21:00):
What do you think your old roll should be?
Speaker 7 (21:02):
And why? Oh?
Speaker 11 (21:04):
I already know they'd be selling out the rook But
I need at least to eighty. I need my speed
to be a ninety. I need that I know I
didn't run my forty, but you know my speed is
on tape, so I'm gonna need that ninety speed.
Speaker 8 (21:19):
And the X Factor Superstar or anything like that.
Speaker 11 (21:22):
I don't expect that yet. Maybe maybe later on in
the year when they have upgraded happen.
Speaker 3 (21:28):
What tight end do you play with in Madden When
you play Elijah, I.
Speaker 11 (21:32):
Feel like Kelsey and Kidd are always overpowered. Define the factors.
Mark Andrews, he's tough too.
Speaker 4 (21:41):
All right, good Elijah Arroyo. Everybody, welcome to the NFL.
We'll just do it early here on GMFB. It was
awesome getting to know you.
Speaker 3 (21:47):
Stay healthy, stay well, and we can't wait to hear
and see how your.
Speaker 4 (21:50):
Story unfolding link.
Speaker 10 (21:51):
Yes, ma'am, thank you.
Speaker 4 (21:53):
All right, Elijah Royal, everybody you can do it? Go ahead, well,
go ahead.
Speaker 5 (21:59):
Yeah, all right, great job, Elijah, Thank you.
Speaker 3 (22:07):
The list of great Ohio state wide receivers in the
NFL is long and distinguished. A Mecca Abuka is the
next in line. As he prepares to hear his name
called on draft night, Abuka talks about his decision to
return to Ohio State last year and the greats that
came before him.
Speaker 12 (22:25):
And then the middle little field bird, Buka got into
the fire and into the end zone in Mecca and
Buka faith plays a role in everything that I do
on and off the field.
Speaker 2 (22:33):
Herebuka is a master of his craft.
Speaker 12 (22:36):
When it came to the end of my junior season
and I wasn't sure whether to return or not, I
just leaned into prayer and I felt like he was
leading me back to Ohio State. We were able to
win the national championship and again on that note, definitely
was a success.
Speaker 7 (22:48):
Good to Ohio State together at the mountaintop.
Speaker 12 (22:52):
That was written in gospelay in the entire time A
Mecca Buka the Ohio State University wide receiver. And when
it comes to Ohio State wide receivers in the NFL,
we're dominated.
Speaker 7 (23:03):
Harvin Harris, the Junior alesident.
Speaker 12 (23:06):
Marvin Harrison, Terry mccorn, Russell Lobbick, Errett Wilson, Jackson Smith,
and Jig. But the list goes on and off. Me
being a part of that room is something that I'm
very prideful for. Just having the opportunity to even be
able to go to that university is a very big
blessing to you. One of my hobbies that has challenged
me and helped me improve in football. Honestly was playing golf.
(23:29):
I learned from golf that translate to the field. I think,
just the levelhead of this and not getting frustrated, not
dwelling on the past. It was a different mental outlet.
A mecca means God is great. My name definitely makes
me feel close to my Nigerian roots, growing up to
respect and honor and revere the name that I have,
something that my father instilled to me from a very
(23:51):
young age, making sure I always knew what having the
last name of Buka meant.
Speaker 2 (23:56):
When my name's.
Speaker 12 (23:57):
Called on draft night, my mom is definitely going to cry.
Speaker 8 (24:00):
I know that one.
Speaker 12 (24:01):
Percent for effect. When it came to you know, camps
and driving me to practice and all the money it
costs to travel. There's no questions asked if I need something,
if I want something, she was there. She provided for me,
the same thing with my father. They all sacrifice so much,
so it's going to be a special moment. This is
a huge milestone in my career, in my journey, something
that our gem does since a little kid.
Speaker 7 (24:21):
Draft night will be.
Speaker 3 (24:23):
Life changing, awesome to get to know those guys ahead
of the NFL Draft, but.
Speaker 4 (24:31):
Sometimes we get to know them a little too well.
Speaker 3 (24:33):
And if you ask Shador Sanders, the critics have been calling.
They are looking for any reason to knock his game down.
Speaker 4 (24:40):
Of course, we have to address this on GMFB.
Speaker 3 (24:42):
We're gonna hear from Shador and we're going to discuss
if any of this is warranted or am I actually
going to say this line on GMFB our haters just
being haters?
Speaker 4 (24:50):
Ugh, We're going to talk Shaitor Sanders.
Speaker 12 (24:52):
Next to the show.
Speaker 2 (25:03):
Good Mo Football.
Speaker 1 (25:07):
Sanders ends up caught touchdown.
Speaker 7 (25:10):
It is Sanders and he will walt touchdown.
Speaker 2 (25:14):
Jump Pop's leave for the first time, ends off for Shepherd.
That's a big hog and he's still tamped.
Speaker 7 (25:20):
Down with it.
Speaker 6 (25:21):
Sanders down the field and a wide open under.
Speaker 9 (25:26):
Unbelievable fires, got a man Sanders to.
Speaker 2 (25:32):
Ron PRA's cotingas.
Speaker 3 (25:36):
Shnor Sanders enters the NFL Draft after helping rebuild both
Jackson State and Colorado on their programs. But despite that,
critics are constantly looking for weaknesses in his game.
Speaker 4 (25:47):
What's the next one.
Speaker 13 (25:48):
It's just funny to see what they come up with it,
you know, because at first it was the arm with
a strong I had a lot of touchdown my side career.
Then it was a pat the ball. That wasn't the
thing before Brode wasn't. I don't get in trouble off
the field, So it's kind of hard from the creation
storyline where the media to keep the agorithm going. So
(26:11):
it's just gonna be fun with the next door.
Speaker 4 (26:14):
Well, at least he has fun with it.
Speaker 3 (26:15):
Shador Sanders has been under the microscope for the majority
of his life, but now critics are coming out in
full force as we gear up for the twenty twenty
five NFL Draft.
Speaker 4 (26:23):
This criticism, gentlemen, logan, I'll start with you.
Speaker 3 (26:26):
Is it warranted when you look at Shador and the
fact that, as he said, he pats the ball. Is
that a problem when you consider what he is and
do you need to hold the prop as he's been
looking at me for a couple of minutes.
Speaker 4 (26:38):
It's like.
Speaker 2 (26:40):
I need that for something, all right, So let's start
with it, right.
Speaker 5 (26:44):
So Shador's problem is, well, the people have his confidence,
and I think that confidence is a prerepresent for success
the NFL.
Speaker 2 (26:52):
I don't know one great NFL player that's not commed.
Speaker 5 (26:54):
He just outready talks about it and it is not
afraid to be himself.
Speaker 2 (26:57):
Now.
Speaker 5 (26:57):
Patting the ball completely overrated, completely, not a big deal.
Majority of quarterbacks pat the ball in the NFL. Aaron
Rodgers pats the ball, Tom Brady pats the ball. Who's
the greatest of all time in my opinion, my very
biased opinion.
Speaker 7 (27:09):
But it's facts, though, So.
Speaker 5 (27:12):
What we do for post safeties most of us play
safety here, most of us to play dB is I'm
studying something you're doing, regardless whether you hit your back foot,
We're going to find a tick. We had ticks on
Ben Roethlisberger. I'm not going to share in New England
that we knew how to get the ball off of him.
And then I think the biggest thing I look at
is when a quarterback drops back and his hand comes
off the ball.
Speaker 2 (27:31):
That's when I'm going regardless. Right now, it's about how
quick you're released.
Speaker 5 (27:34):
Because if Shad or takes his hand off the ball
and then he pats and he goes, if it's quicker,
doesn't matter. Because if a guy takes his hand off
the ball with no pet but then he takes a
long wind up, I'm going anyway So my whole point
is that my job is a safety in the NFL
is to study of the quarterback, and all week long,
I'm trying to find something that he does that's going
to dictate where the play is going to go, who's
going to throw to. There are quarterbacks who their stance changes.
(27:56):
When their feet are square, it's going to be a
run play. When their feet's staggered, it's going to be
a pass play. There are many quarterbacks in the NFL
that when they sit there Green eighty, Green eighty, the
last place they look is the side that they're going
to throw. So if I know from studying a guy
that the last place he looks in his cadence is
where he's gonna throw, I'm already weaving a move my
way over there. So Shador has something that people can
(28:16):
break on, but everyone has something we can break on.
Speaker 2 (28:18):
I think they don't like himcause he's just too confident.
Speaker 3 (28:20):
I worked at the quarterback once who said that he
retrained himself to come out of the huddle after calling
a play the same way each time because he realized
that he was actually like kneeling when it was like
a run play, and then he would like jump up
when it was a pass play because he was getting
ready himself. So like even that tiny thing you're watching
a guy break a huddle, or it can.
Speaker 4 (28:37):
Be little gibbs. What do you think, Well, oh, now
he needs the ball. It's a talking ball.
Speaker 6 (28:44):
No, you made a great point. It's really it is
the film study. Like we started with situational football. I mean,
you played for the situational Master. So first of all,
I'm looking at what's going on around and sure enough, right,
it's the Tendency's what I learned when they came to
patting the ball. It just helps with timing. A lot
of quarterbacks quick pats with timing. And I've been very,
very blessed my first four years, my first six years
(29:06):
in the league. I was with farv who passed the ball.
I was with Aaron Rodgers who passed the ball. And
some may say that probably the one of the most
clutch throws of all time was when Eli threw it
to David Tyree. And in that certain play, sure enough, yeah,
he broke like ten twenty tackles and ravenfore he threw
the ball to Tyree.
Speaker 8 (29:26):
He patted the ball.
Speaker 6 (29:27):
And so I actually interviewed ed ree here we go
right here? Sure enough, look at Eli fighting through get
through that easy, get through that.
Speaker 2 (29:36):
Pat and he couldn't even see it as a dB.
Speaker 7 (29:40):
You can't even see it as a dB.
Speaker 8 (29:41):
Otherwise this ball would have got taken.
Speaker 6 (29:44):
And I actually interviewed Ed Reed right here on this
show and he told me, he said, look, as soon
as the quarterback pulls the pin.
Speaker 7 (29:51):
I'm gone like this right here. Guys can do this
all day.
Speaker 6 (29:53):
That's why you're not going to share the Ben Roethlisberg,
because Ben would do this all day.
Speaker 7 (29:57):
As soon as you pull the pin, that's where we
would go.
Speaker 4 (29:59):
All right, Nick, you're currently playing in the NFL. What
are you watching?
Speaker 8 (30:03):
I'm watching everything, looking at it, the whole package, watching everything,
watching formations. I'm watching you know, where the quarterback likes
to go, where the big money guys are, the guys
in the slot, you know, to say, they usually say
something's up, you know, if he's an outside guy on
the inside to get the ball. If he's on the outside,
you know, the inside going outside, something's usually going on there.
(30:24):
But just something in general, just you know, like I
said in college, azed you lineup twenty yards, line them
just shit back there. My college coach hated it, but
I did it just so that you know, when the
quarterback reached that back foot and look, you know, I
was like, okay, you know, in my head it's the clock.
You know, if he has enough time to sit there
and go from here from one side and reset his
feet to the other side of the field, we need
(30:46):
new pass rushers. So I feel like, you know, once
he gets to that backfoot and again once the hand
come off the pen, he's only going one of one places,
and that's the receiver. So you know, you can pack
the ball back there all the time. You know, even
when I'm sitting there and I think I'm a quarterback
at time, I'll sit down, I'll just you know, give
it a little pat and fling the ball. I probably
don't throw as well should, but you know, at the
end of the day, I feel like everybody's just finding
(31:08):
something again, like I said earlier, just to you know,
bring him down. I feel like, like I said, he's
had a great chance at a great stat line at Colorado,
at Jacksonville State. Some people sit there and say some
of his completions were only five ten yards, you know,
intermediate short throws, but you can see he has great
touch on the deep ball. Him and Travis had a
great connection down there. And at the end of the day,
(31:28):
he won football games and that's all that matters.
Speaker 6 (31:30):
He's overst seventy percent completion center it. Yeah, over seventy
and four thousand yards. Like, what are we doing?
Speaker 3 (31:35):
So I would say to answer the question at the
bottom of the screen, is the criticism warranted? I'm gathering
that it's not that warrented from the from the pool here, okay,
perfect logan. You mentioned the things that you used to watch,
and if it's not padding the ball, then what would
you watch in the quarterback?
Speaker 4 (31:49):
Oh my god, you guys so ball dependent.
Speaker 2 (31:51):
Made it list.
Speaker 5 (31:52):
We really get We got to if you could take
this away, this makes you a lot of money.
Speaker 10 (31:57):
Right.
Speaker 5 (31:57):
I used to say every interception is actually a million
a year on the next contract, right, And that's how
important this ball is.
Speaker 2 (32:01):
And that is exactly what we are studying every single place.
Speaker 7 (32:06):
Take notes.
Speaker 2 (32:07):
I am right. What are some of the things I
would look at?
Speaker 5 (32:10):
I told you sometimes the quarterback stances will tell me
if it's run past. I tell you sometimes the way
they look where they last look would be something. How
about Drew Brees. Let's talk about the great Drew Brees.
Right as ackers they get Hall of Fame quarterback, one
of the best to ever do it. He would lick
his fingers on pass plays. You ever see Drew Brees
lick his hands all the time, So he would always
lick his hands right before for grip. And we noticed
sometimes when he was licking his fingers before the snap
(32:31):
that it was going to be a pass play. So
there are certain things that everyone has a tendency. It's
just how deep are you willing to go look at it?
In New England, we were looking for every single thing
we could find, anything possible. And then myself as a player,
what I might have lacked in top end speed while
I have lacked, I made in my mind and I
was finding little tendency so I can break faster. And
(32:51):
I talk to some of my friends where quarterbacks around
the league about the shad or patting thing.
Speaker 2 (32:55):
They didn't think it was a big deal.
Speaker 5 (32:56):
Either, And I said, is it something you can get
out of his system?
Speaker 2 (32:58):
Is it something?
Speaker 5 (32:59):
And he said it's a non issue because sometimes you
pat doesn't mean you're gonna throw it there either. So
I break if I'm a quarterback and Aaron Rodgers is
a big guy who pats the ball and he's probably
the best thrower of the football of all time. Yeah, right,
if I sit here and I patt and I'm going
this way, but I don't throw it, then I'm breaking
that way. Then it comes down the middle. So he's
patting with his feet, But that doesn't necessarily he's going
to throw it. So the pat isn't necessarily where he's
(33:20):
gonna go. Yeah, maybe seven out of ten will go there,
But what about the three times where he pats it this.
Speaker 2 (33:24):
Way and comes back. So I don't think it's the
automatic trigger.
Speaker 5 (33:27):
Our biggest thing is what Nick talked about, when you
get back to your back foot and once that hand
comes off the ball.
Speaker 2 (33:32):
Because Aaron Rodgers has won, very few others.
Speaker 5 (33:34):
Can pump fake with one hand. When you get a
pump fake, they pump fake with two hands. When a
guy takes his hand off the ball with one hand,
the ball has to go. Most guys don't have big
enough hands of pump fake with one hand. Sure, Aaron
Rodgers is an exception of that.
Speaker 6 (33:45):
If there's anything like maybe in quick game, right, like
if it's empty formation.
Speaker 7 (33:51):
Obviously it's not gonna be a run. Maybe a quarterback run.
Speaker 6 (33:53):
Yeah, but maybe quick game one, two, three, and if
he pats, there's an opportunity. But I would say with
Drew Brees, I feel like he's always licking his fingers.
Speaker 8 (34:00):
Like he might be he might be making a call,
do this.
Speaker 7 (34:03):
He might be taking notes. He does this.
Speaker 6 (34:05):
Sometimes he's just on the sideline watching, just doing this.
Speaker 3 (34:09):
Well, it's so, I mean, I don't I want everybody
to stop doing this motion, please terrible.
Speaker 2 (34:15):
It works for him, though, it does, and it did,
and he was on his tippy toes because you see.
Speaker 4 (34:20):
It was like this, so it sounds like Shador Sanders.
Speaker 3 (34:23):
Whatever he hears, he can let it wash off his
back and he's kind of waiting for the next criticism.
Speaker 4 (34:28):
But this is not This is the tales, the oldest time.
When it comes to quarterbacks coming into the NFL.
Speaker 3 (34:32):
You play with Anthony Richardson right now on across in
Indianapolis Colts. He is somebody in Richardson that didn't play
a lot in college. There was a ton to critigue
and it wasn't his back flips. It was the way
he played quarterback in the NFL what have you witnessed
from this young quarterback in terms of just the constant
barrage of criticism.
Speaker 8 (34:51):
First of all, shout out my guy, Anthony, my dog.
You know what I'm saying. Phenomenal talent. You know, one
of the one of the best I've seen. You know,
physically six five two fifty runs four four, not as
fast as me, but you know, at the end of
the day, he'll he gets out in open space and
he's a problem. You know, elite arm talent, can make
(35:11):
all the throws and everything. You know, he's a young guy,
he's twenty two years old, someone who has a very
very bright future ahead, someone who I wholeheartedly believe in.
And you know, it's just it's not a matter of
if it's a matter of wind, you know what I'm saying.
Every every great quarterback has had their their ups and downs.
You know, Peyton Manning, you know, led the league interceptions
(35:31):
of the rookie. You know, Aaron Rodgers sat behind Brett
fav for a little bit. So I mean, everybody has
their their own path And something I learned from another great,
you know for my career, Stefan Gilmour is always everybody
has their own race.
Speaker 10 (35:43):
Just run your own race.
Speaker 8 (35:45):
So I mean, I feel like, you know, at the
end of the day, some people are a little hard
on the kids. You know what I'm saying. Everybody, you know,
everybody's path is different. He only played one year of
college playing at Florida, But at the end of the day,
he's learning at a high pace. He wants to learn,
He's willing to learn. At the end of day, he's
an ultimate competitor. Always goes out there.
Speaker 10 (36:02):
You know.
Speaker 8 (36:02):
You see in the New England game, you know, constantly running,
you know the Jets game, running guys over, you know,
having guys getting up, wobbling in the end zone. You know,
from all of that, he's gonna put his body on
the line for the team and ultimately he's a great
team guy.
Speaker 3 (36:15):
All right, let me ask you this, just watching that
quick highlight of Anthony Richardson, because I'm now all I
watched is for the.
Speaker 4 (36:20):
Pat and I'm just say, does he do it? Does
he do it?
Speaker 3 (36:23):
When he did it in that clip, he actually took
off running after his pat. So the breed of the quarterback.
And I'll ask this of all of you, which is
how much more challenging is it to approach a quarterback
that you know has that gidea up and not just
a guy who was sitting there passing, because like patting
the ball if you're Rogers or Roethlisberger is vastly different
than if you're padding, and you might take off if
(36:44):
you're Anthony Richardson or Justin Fields for example.
Speaker 5 (36:47):
Right, So it's gonna change how you play defense, going
to change your pass rushers yep, right, are they rushing
to go get to a spot? Are we trying to
contain a guy so he doesn't run and then it
can for the great ones. It's going to really change.
It's gonna make the coverage last longer. We call it
the second play with Patrick Mahomes, with jaln It hurts
with some of Lamar Jackson especially. You got to cover
a guy and then he breaks contain of the pocket.
(37:09):
Now you got to cover him again. You know, the
average play in the NFL last three or four seconds.
When you're playing Josh Allen, that played my last eight seconds.
It's a lot longer than you're used to. You got
to cover that second play against those guys. So that's
what the great dual threat.
Speaker 2 (37:20):
I don't want to call it.
Speaker 5 (37:21):
Duel threat anymore. That's an old terminouty. That's what the
great quarterbacks do nowadays, because the legs is a big
part of it.
Speaker 7 (37:26):
No, it's a huge part.
Speaker 6 (37:26):
And especially if you have a quarterback that is very accurate,
who can be a pocket passer and who can also run,
that's where it gets extremely dangerous, dangerous. Like we played
against you know, Kaepernick, where you know he was better
against man, so we would try to play zone because
sure he would pass the ball and then he would
take off because he was extremely dangerous with his legs.
But playing against somebody like Josh Allen or even before
(37:47):
Aaron got hurt, he started running a little bit more
like people. It was kind of like the underrated skill
of his because he was known for getting the football
out really well, but just moving around like it's very
very difficult and dangerous.
Speaker 8 (37:58):
Yeah, I feel like when you have somebody back there
who has no threat to run, it says, okay, you
know your pass rushers can pin their ears back and
go get the quarterback. But you know, at the end
of the day, whether there's third down, second down, you know,
primarily on third down. It's one of those things where
you know, everybody in coverage doing their thing. You know,
you've got to rely on your d line to go
out there and make sure that their pass rush lands
are secure because one crease and you know, someone like
(38:20):
Anthony or someone like your door or someone like that's
going to take off and run. And that's a whole
different ball game when you know you're covering back there
chasing after somebody. Then you look back and the quarterbacks
is running down the field and somebody like Anthony at six',
five you, know two fifty is like here we, Go,
like you, know we've got to go corral this guy
before we get to the first. Down so it's kind
of a it's a great thing for for us as
the team to have somebody like, that BUT i know
(38:40):
it's a nightmare for defenses to have to sit, there
and you, know especially because you, know nine times out of,
TEN i believe he's gonna get you're going to get
the first. Down it's, like you, know you have to
go out there and play another set of four downs
to go out there and try to get off the field.
Speaker 4 (38:51):
Again you just patted the ball twenty seven.
Speaker 7 (38:52):
TIMES i was, like.
Speaker 3 (38:58):
This group doesn't care if you're patting the. Ball you
go out and play in THE. Nfl we know you,
can right.
