Speaker 1 (00:04):
Good Morning Football is the production of the NFL in
partnership with iHeartRadio.
Speaker 2 (00:11):
It's Good Morning Football Everybody, presented by Old Trapper Beef Jerkey. Monday,
October thirteenth, Jamie Hear at All mansit Seo Isaiah standbacks
here in Los Angeles, Kyle Brandt in New York City, Kyle,
the way you always explained the season on Go Morning Football.
To me, it's like an upside down triangle. Teams start
to whittle themselves away, and then once we have our
eyes squarely on those who play in the super Bowl,
it's the smallest point. I feel like this season is
(00:32):
a square. I don't know who's who. I don't know
who's good. I'm not sure who we're supposed to be
focused on. The shapes are all very confusing to me.
Speaker 1 (00:39):
Kyle, Well, there's something that's for certain. And you guys
have asked me a lot to show the back page
of the New York Post, and every time I do,
it's baseball. The worst thing going for the Jets right
now is that the Yankees and Mets season is over.
So there you got Yu with the UK in the green.
There's no Mets, there's no Yankees. So welcome to the
(01:00):
back page. You've got Justin Fields without a damn helmet,
you got Serby, you got bloody awful, you got all
kinds of local British references. I'm sorry, but if only
the Mets and Yankees could have played in the World Series,
then the Jets would never show up. But they have
they do. Let's start the show and karat to keep
a little more positive with the upside down trying. The
newspaper is a square, that's true.
Speaker 3 (01:22):
Yeah, welcome to Good Morning Football presented by Old Trapper.
Speaker 2 (01:39):
Yeah, that's right GMFB on a Monday. Welcome in everybody.
Kyle just showed us the backpage of the New York Posts.
I honestly interpreted that yuck y uk. Is you okay
Jets fans? Or I honestly thought, Kyle, they'd still be
riding high from the Thursday night. I mean, I thought
they could have just been doing Giants headlines all the
way until the Giants play their next game. It was
so good.
Speaker 1 (01:58):
No, they like the negative, the Giants. They're never mind
that scatter booon like the coolest breath of fresh air
in the entire NFL. If we got a yuck wordplay.
We're gonna run that. The Giants did not play yesterday,
as we know the Jets certainly did.
Speaker 4 (02:15):
It was not great.
Speaker 1 (02:16):
Well.
Speaker 2 (02:16):
We also had a Sunday night game that many felt
was just going to be ever so defining. The Lions
were flying high. The Chiefs were a big old question mark,
but they turned that into an exclamation point. Kyle, what happened?
Please give us the highlight, Lions.
Speaker 4 (02:29):
Let's go.
Speaker 1 (02:30):
Let's go to Arrowhead Stadium, usually the site of the
AFC Championship game. Will it be this year? I don't know.
Can you tell me for sure it won't be?
Speaker 4 (02:39):
I can't.
Speaker 1 (02:40):
Jared Goff very interesting play. David Montgomery, former quarterback, throws
to Jared Goff, he catches it touchdown. However, there was
a they looked at it, they talked about it. There's
all kinds of communication there and maybe elsewhere, and they
determined that Jared Goff cannot establish himself as quarterback and
then go in motion. Goff said he didn't feel like
he did establish himself, but the efficials disagreed. Goff even
(03:01):
said after that to do more research on that. They've
ended up getting a few goal in the play and
then later in the game, on a fourth and two,
aman Rod does something he never does, typical catch.
Speaker 4 (03:10):
Maybe a little bit.
Speaker 1 (03:10):
But he always catches. That's his first drop of the season.
Detroit still up though, Oh those tricky Chiefs. Never mind
the flag it was on Detroit, because all the flags
are on Detroit. There's Mahomes flexing in Brian Branch's face.
Speaker 4 (03:23):
That would be a.
Speaker 1 (03:24):
Harbinger of things to come. He's gonna point this out.
The Chiefs had zero penalties in this game, zero and
I think that led to a lot of the frustration
for Detroit. This catch was astronomical. This was an amazing
one handed grab, toe tap. This is some wide receiver stuff.
The fact that Sam Laporter's doing that as a big
tight end is also a great blocker. It's really impressive.
(03:45):
But Kansas City's still winning. To Kansas City going to Hollywood,
Brown opening up the lead. They pulled away late. Detroit
thought of as the best team in the NFL after
five weeks. No, it was kneel downs for the Chiefs.
A two score win or at least a thirteen point win,
and then.
Speaker 4 (04:00):
We're starting to throw punches.
Speaker 1 (04:01):
Boom boom, boom.
Speaker 4 (04:02):
Watch what happened.
Speaker 1 (04:03):
Mahome says, hey, a great game, Brian. After you that,
Brian's like, I'm not feeling it all right, He's just
gonna leave him hanging. Juju starts chirping. Juju and Branch
had gone at it during the game, and then Branch
just says, I think I've had it enough of this
zap to the face. But check out to his credits,
like no, no, no, no, no no no, don't do that.
But Juju's like, it's not gonna work for me. I'm
gonna start fighting. He loses his helmet. There's a lot
(04:24):
of Chiefs there, Thankfully, they are trying to de escalate.
There's not kicking him punching. Afterwards, Campbell said he'd hated
it for his own places. I love Brian Branch. I
hate to say, that's not what we're about. Branch said
he was blocked in the back and they didn't call it.
Thought he could have been hurt, and he just lost it.
Thirty to seventeen. Afterwards, Dan Campbell, like I mentioned, and
(04:46):
then Patrick Mahomes after the Chiefs win to get to
three and three.
Speaker 5 (04:50):
You're playing football, I mean, you're you're being chippy. That's
a physical football team, and they have a mentality of
that they come in to play with and we're gonna
match that mentality. You know, we're we're not afraid to
go up against anybody. That's the mentality coach he brings
every single day, and we're gonna match the intensity of
who football fielder.
Speaker 6 (05:05):
I love Brown Branch, but what he did is inexcusable
and it's not going to be accepted here.
Speaker 4 (05:10):
It's not what we do. It's not what we're about.
Speaker 6 (05:13):
I apologize to uh, Coach Reid and the Chiefs and uh,
you know and Schuster, that's not okay. That's not what
we do here, and it's not going to be okay.
He knows it, our team knows it, and so that's
that's that's not what we do.
Speaker 2 (05:33):
Lions head coach Dan Campbell quick with the clarification about
what the Lions are about and the behavior by Brian
Branch after the game, anti is not that. However, the
scuffle did still occur, the melee, the what have you?
What do you make of this behavior?
Speaker 7 (05:46):
Well, when coach Dan Campbell says that that's not what
they're about, I totally agree with him, and I totally
believe him. Why because he was once my coach and
we got to see how he structured his team and
the culture of that team and expectations. Listen, they're a
tough team, they're a nasty team, but they're not a
dirty team. Like the thing about Coach Campbell's teams is
they do so well within the echoes of the whistle.
(06:09):
When it within the parameters of the game, they play nasty,
they play physical.
Speaker 4 (06:13):
That stuff after I don't, I don't. I don't get this, guys,
I read it. Don't.
Speaker 1 (06:18):
The thing I love about football is, ever since.
Speaker 7 (06:20):
I was young, we're always told this is the only
game that you could legally go out and hit somebody,
that you can legally go out if you don't like
somebody within the echoes of the whistle, that you could
do something about it.
Speaker 1 (06:31):
This isn't football.
Speaker 4 (06:32):
That stuff isn't football, right.
Speaker 7 (06:33):
Like that that that has no place in the game,
whether it's during the game or after the game. That
just makes the brand look bad and makes the Lions
look bad and makes Brian branch look bad. And that's
a that's a really good football player, Brian Branch Is,
he's a really good safety. I really like how he
plays the game. I think he just got emotions get
the best of him and he just represented that franchise
(06:55):
in a bad light. And the no coach, Dan Campbell,
will we'll go correct it.
Speaker 8 (06:59):
I got a friend named Barry Church plays safety in
his league for a long time and he always says, yes,
sure cost you a little, It might cost you a lot,
but it's gonna cost you right.
Speaker 1 (07:09):
It's gonna cost you some bread.
Speaker 8 (07:10):
They are going to take that right out of your check.
This is all about emotional intelligence.
Speaker 4 (07:15):
Obviously.
Speaker 8 (07:16):
I all the respect in the world to Dan Campbell
for coming up and apologizing on his behalf, apologizing to
the opposing team, the individual that it affected, the coach.
This is you have to have emotional intelligence in this game,
and Manti just alluded to it, especially when you play
the safety position. If you have a if you play
that position, your job is a run and hit people.
Now you realize that this may or may not be
(07:36):
your only time that you face this team, right, the
only way that you face this team again is if
you make it to the big Show and they make
it to the Big Show. But you have to play
the game the right way and as soon as the
game is over. You take your al and you walk away.
Sometimes you just got to take your air and walk away.
Back in the day, if I was a poor sport,
I would turn off the dog on an Xbox and
I'll just take my controller and.
Speaker 4 (07:56):
I'll walk out the house.
Speaker 1 (07:57):
Sometimes you just got to walk.
Speaker 4 (07:58):
Out the house.
Speaker 8 (07:59):
Right, Don't go out there and exasperate the issue. You've
made yourself and your team look bad.
Speaker 1 (08:04):
This is a little context. Let's try to get into
Brian Branch's head, who is an excellent player and flew
completely off the handle. The Chiefs had zero penalties in
this game. Yeah, that's very rare. Zero. Not to mention also,
the Lions had a touchdown that was taken off the
board to Jared Goff that while it was the right call,
the way it unfolded triggered a lot of the Lions
(08:25):
fans and certainly a lot of the Lions players. There
is a perception, right or wrong, that the Chiefs and
Kelsey and Mahomes at all get calls. We know that
is going on for years, especially at Arrowhead. If you
are Brian Branch and you feel right or wrong that
you've been held all game or you've been this and
this zero penalties and he's like, he blew off the handle.
I mean, I'm not condonating, and this is terrible, this part.
Speaker 4 (08:46):
I don't care.
Speaker 1 (08:48):
I'm actually fine. He didn't like Patrick Mahomes, fine, do
it the rest of if it is nonsense, But I
just let's understand what was going on here. There's a
football thing in which you go play an entire game
with zero penalties. It's very rare, and people get triggered
by it. Now this is bush league. And I'm going
to finish by just.
Speaker 4 (09:04):
Agreeing with you. Guys.
Speaker 1 (09:06):
If anyone who is a critic or a nasayer who's
still clinging to any sinew whatsoever that Dan Campbell is
some sort of meathead fixed. Dan Campbell could have said, hey, man,
you don't mess with us. I like seeing some fight
at the end of the US. That's idiotic. He's like,
that is not us. That is not US as an institution,
(09:26):
as a team. Like that was a perfect, perfect response
from a guy who could have been still in his emotions,
still in his frustrations about the officiating, and said something
reckless and stupid and ignorant about like kneecaps or some
stuff that's years ago. That was a very enlightened response
from Campbell. If you still think he's anything less than
(09:47):
a brilliant head coach, just watch that in the moment
paneled perfectly. Branch terrible decision, Campbell excellent.
Speaker 2 (09:54):
Branch called it childish after the fact, and like we said,
he tried to blame it on some of his emotions
from calls that were made or not made against him.
But it is what it is, and Campbell handled it perfectly. Now,
you are a young player in the league, you are
highly emotional. Then you at the other end of the spectrum,
which is a wily vet in the league. Kyle Brant,
We're going to look at a Brown Steelers highlight where
there is one wily bet I'm looking squarely at and
(10:15):
it's he who is not that guy. It's he who
is quarterbacking the Pittsburgh team.
Speaker 4 (10:20):
All right.
Speaker 1 (10:20):
So Dylan Gabrael with his second start, Aaron Rodgers in
his twenty first season. How about this, Jalen Ramsey. Jalen
Ramsey had two sacks in this game. He's playing in
a game with Miles Garrett and TJ. Watt and he
was the best pass rusher. Unbelievable it's really really cool.
He hasn't had very many sacks even in his career,
but just an awesome effort from him, and then Rodgers
doing things like this. Guys, the DK thing is working.
(10:43):
DK to Pittsburgh is working. I mentioned it earlier with Pickens.
He's in Dallas. Now Bat's working. All of this is working.
Let's celebrate some things that are working. It's great and
Rodgers is working. And by the way, they're four and one,
four and one in the AFC. North is eight and one.
It's insert incredible. Afterwards, we heard from Aaron Rodgers and
Miles Garrett. Go ahead and take a listen to hear
Miles Garrett whying about how they're not winning at all
(11:05):
while he counts his money.
Speaker 9 (11:08):
You know, for the most part, that's a really good
defense that's going to stand up most of the game.
We just had to make the most of you know,
a short field on one of them, then a couple
of really nice sustained drives in the second half.
Speaker 1 (11:18):
It seems like every game the script is kind of
the same, where the offense really isn't undertime that market
Mark Ye a little more.
Speaker 8 (11:25):
Frusture to keep it got to.
Speaker 4 (11:30):
That's frustrating. That's frustrated to lose the same way every time.
It's frustrating as hell.
Speaker 2 (11:35):
He understands the question, he validates the answer. The Browns
are looking at the Steelers at the top of the
division as they sit at four and one in the
AFC North and in their year as well, the Bengals
trail at two and four, and the Browns continue to
find challenges in the face diversity of the Ravenshoof. That's
a whole different conversation. Have you changed your expectations, man, Si,
(11:55):
when you consider what Rogers was supposed to be in
Pittsburgh also what he is delivering after this weekend.
Speaker 7 (12:01):
No, I don't change my expectations of Aaron Rodgers. I
always believe that going into this into the season, with
the system that they have over there in Pittsburgh, relying
heavily on the run, that it's not gonna put Aaron
Rodgers in a position.
Speaker 1 (12:15):
To feel like he has to win the game.
Speaker 7 (12:16):
And I feel that he's been doing such a great
job and he showed that yesterday with him being able
to direct traffic while he's scrambling and do the things
that Aaron Rodgers has been accustomed to do. What I
did not expect was I worked the London game here
in this building yesterday morning, and I watched the Jets
and the Broncos game where the Jets had nine sacks.
I was like, holy schmokes, can somebody protect the quarterback?
(12:39):
And then I flip on this game the very next hour,
the very next window of games, the Steelers had six
sacks guys, and to Kb's point, Jalen Ramsey had too.
And there's a there's a clip that I want to
say that I want to throw to right now about
what he had to say after that game we had
two sacks.
Speaker 4 (12:57):
I'm gonna probably tell my kids about this.
Speaker 10 (12:59):
I played in the game with TJ Wye in Miles geared,
and I had two sacks.
Speaker 4 (13:05):
That's crazy. Huh, that's crazy.
Speaker 10 (13:07):
So yeah, it was my first first time in my
whole career having two sacks in one game.
Speaker 4 (13:12):
So that's pretty cool too.
Speaker 1 (13:13):
It he's got he had two sacks.
Speaker 4 (13:16):
Her Big had two sacks.
Speaker 7 (13:18):
Dylan Gabriel was pressured on forty one percent of the
snaps that they played yesterday for the Cleveland Browns. So
when I watched the morning game, I was like, Wow.
When I watched this game. I was like, wow, So no,
my expectations, Jamie hasn't changed.
Speaker 8 (13:29):
Perfect expectations have not changed because I know that Aaron
Rodgers is still a dude. And as long as Aaron
Rodgers has protection and he has weapons to get the
ball to, he's going to ball. You can say he's
one hundred and seventy two years old, you can say
that he's been playing for twenty plus years. Aaron Rodgers
is a ron aka John Wick in my eyes, and
this dude is just an absolute beast. He and DK
(13:51):
Metcalf are figuring this thing out and we talked about
you know, your cal already mentioned.
Speaker 4 (13:56):
It that the trade is working right.
Speaker 8 (13:57):
The Cowboys are happy with with George Piggins and now
that with Pittsburgh teamers I.
Speaker 4 (14:01):
Had to do with DK Metcalf.
Speaker 8 (14:02):
DK Metcalf hands down to the most physical and arguably one
of the fastest receivers in the game.
Speaker 4 (14:08):
There's an absolute beast.
Speaker 8 (14:10):
When you start talking about Aaron Rodgers and him getting
on the same page, that's when it gets scary.
Speaker 4 (14:14):
The last two.
Speaker 8 (14:15):
Weeks, DK Metcalf is averaging twenty four yards per reception.
Speaker 1 (14:18):
The last four weeks, DK.
Speaker 8 (14:20):
Metcalf is averaging one touchdown per game. So these guys
are starting to get it figured out. And once they
are on the same page and with the once they
incorporated a running game, this offense is going to be
hard to stop.
Speaker 1 (14:30):
Isaiah, You're on it. I'm watching these highlights of Rogers
throwing a DK and it's reminded me of Devonte, Like
it's all these things where the ball's in the air
before he's even looking. There's palpable chemistry going on here,
and they've been doing it on the fly. I sat
with Rogers a training camp in August. He sits down
in the director's chair before we're even miked up and talking,
and I just say, how's gone, man, And he just
(14:50):
looks at me and goes, We've got a lot of
work to do. And I was like, oh, no, that's
not great. But now it's like that was two to
three months ago, and look what we're looking at. And yeah,
my expectations have changed for the Steelers. You know why,
because of Burrow and Lamar being out. I said they're
four and one. They're eight and one. The AFC North
is a totally different scale. The Bengals are broken, the
(15:10):
Ravens are broken. The Browns are the Browns. Four and
one is like, are we done? Like? Are we gonna
win the division? I know there's a lot of football
left to play, but let me save you the mystery.
The Steelers are gonna be let's call it maybe twelve
and five. I think they're gonna win the division. I
think they're gonna have a home playoff game. And here
we are again in January. The Steelers are playing a
wild card football game, this time at home. And we'll see.
(15:31):
The difference is now they have Aaron Rodgers and they
never have in the past. It's going great, Like I
know that Mike Tomlin has his critics and Rodgers has
his critics. Four and one right now in the AFC
looking smooth. They already have division wins. Like, let's go.
Is this if you would have signed up for four
and one at the beginning of the season and Rodgers
are throwing touchdowns and DK looks great? What is really
(15:52):
the problem with Pittsburgh? They're a really good team. But
I'll bring a full circle, guys, because I asked the
question at the beginning of the of the of the show,
who is the best team in the NFL. Now you
got some Steelers family, like it's Pittsburgh. I don't think Pittsburgh.
He's the best team in the NFL right now. But honestly,
who cares. They're in the worst division in the NFL
and they're stacking wins. That's all I care about.
Speaker 2 (16:11):
Their defense can be talented, their coach can be great,
but it really has a lot to do with the
hands of that quarterback. I had a very rare opportunity
over the last two seasons. I had that Jets game
in London last year when Salad got fired. After where
Rogers is in a production meeting with us, I had
this year Steelers Ireland game. And the difference in a
year that was made for that man in our meetings
(16:32):
and our interactions. He's happy, he's joyful, and he actually
credits Pat Fryarmouth as the guy in the locker room
in the summer to say, hey, we all want to
hang out with you. We want to get on the
same rhythm and make sure we're all in unison, and
Rogers says Dan, Well, if you want to take a
trip to California, I'd be happy to have you. Now,
Rogers admitted to us that This has been said to
(16:53):
him before, and he always invites guys, but it never
really was executed to its fullest extent. And I wondered, honestly,
are people intimidated of him? Do they really want to
go out to Malibu? And he's credited Pat Firemouth for
me the one that's no, we are all showing up
in Malibu. We're gonna go to dinner, we're gonna have
the sushi, we're gonna see the Dolphins, and we're gonna
throw at U CLA. And clearly this thing is panning
(17:14):
out now months later, and it's because someone actually put
the effort in. And Rodgers was like, a lot of
people say that to me, but they never actually buy
the ticket. So guys, young people in the NFL, buy
the ticket, Go hang out with your quarterback. Okay, it works,
have the sushi. You don't know what you're gonna and
what's gonna unfold for you that season. Little story about
the Steelers moving on. Ian Rappaport, Good morning to you.
(17:35):
We got two games on Monday night. This is becoming
quite the trend, but that also means we have a
lot more players to track ahead of a two time matchup.
This evening over on ESPN and ABC.
Speaker 1 (17:45):
What's up. By the way, that was a great Rogers tibbet.
Speaker 11 (17:48):
It's amazing how many times around the league, especially for
young players who like haven't quite figured it out yet,
that you hear they get the invitation and they don't
exactly take the veteran up on like now, I'm good.
Speaker 1 (17:59):
Yeah. You hear some of those.
Speaker 11 (18:00):
Stories every once in a while and you're like, that's
why this guy's give.
Speaker 2 (18:05):
Me the ticket, get the life experience.
Speaker 11 (18:08):
Yes, do the workout with the great player who would
like to help you. Anyway, Let's get to some injuries
for tonight's game. Terry mcclaurin the star receiver for the
Washington Commanders, but dealing with a quad slash hip flexor
injury the last several weeks. He is not going to
play in tonight's game. Chance to play next week, we'll
see if he's able to get there, but not going
to play in tonight's game. Noah Brown also not going
(18:30):
to play in tonight's game. So for the Washington Commanders,
we do have Jayden Daniels back after a little bit
of an absence and did hit the ground running last week.
Speaker 1 (18:37):
Are not going to have the services of.
Speaker 11 (18:39):
Their star receiver for the Buffalo Bills. They, I would say,
have a Dalton Kincaid situation that is pretty up in
the air right now. He was able to practice on
a limited basis this week.
Speaker 1 (18:50):
That is a chance. At least he's got a shot
to play tonight.
Speaker 11 (18:53):
Coach Sean McDermott saying he really wanted to see how
we respond to those final.
Speaker 1 (18:57):
Days right before the game.
Speaker 11 (18:59):
I would expect the decision at some point this afternoon,
but at the least.
Speaker 1 (19:02):
Kincaid has a shot.
Speaker 11 (19:04):
Matt Milano, their star linebacker, already ruled out with a
peck injury.
Speaker 1 (19:09):
Ian most of the former players that I know. We'll
talk about players only meetings as farce, just a buy
the numbers SNL sketch where the players scream a lot
and we say we got to be better, we got
to be better, and then you go out and you
lose again. They took another jump these players only meetings
yesterday after the Dolphins loss, where Tua is saying, we're
(19:31):
not only we having multiple players only meetings, we have
players who are showing up late or not even showing
up at all to the players only meetings. What else
can you tell us about what's happening in Miami.
Speaker 11 (19:41):
Yeah, it seems to be Miami has reached the inflection point, Kyl.
Speaker 1 (19:44):
And you know, we can talk all about.
Speaker 11 (19:46):
The status of Mike McDaniel, the head coach, And first
of all, from my understanding, it would take something significant,
significant for the Miami Dolphics to move on from a
head coach they just extended a couple of years ago,
a head coach that Steven Ross really likes and believes in.
Dolphins want this to work and leave and it will work,
but crazy things can happen. I'm just saying that's where
(20:08):
they stand right now. What to his comments really did
was kind of shift the focus to are the players
doing enough? And again we all focus on McDaniel, but
at some point, the guy's got to go out and play.
And for Tua, a captain one of the team leaders,
to say our guys are not doing enough and it's
on the leadership to get them to do it. He
is one of the leaders, so in a way, he's
(20:28):
a little bit kind of calling himself out here and
putting the onus on these guys to say we need
to fix it.
Speaker 1 (20:35):
So here's what we're going to see in Miami.
Speaker 11 (20:37):
We're going to see them fix it either by a
series of players only meetings where players show up on
time and work or just fix it and play better,
or they are going to not. And if the answer
is not, then it's going to be drastically bad for
probably everyone in Miami. But we are going to see
because rarely does the team get called out by their
quarterback for all to see and then for all of.
Speaker 1 (20:59):
Us to discuss.
Speaker 2 (21:00):
And I saw some fans online, Chargers fans saying that
even when they're guy throws for three hundred plus and
three touchdowns in a game and they lose, he still
puts the loss on him. So it's just a way
to handle whatever you want to say or answer, go ahead, Yeah,
I just.
Speaker 11 (21:15):
I think about this a lot, right because you do
hear starting quarterbacks or leaders or coaches say that's on me,
that's in me, and I get it, and that's sort
of the selfless thing to do. But sometimes it's not.
And so there's different kinds of leadership. But we're going
to find out. We are going to find out by
how the Dolphins played the next several games.
Speaker 1 (21:33):
Did they take to this leadership.
Speaker 11 (21:35):
Did they say I don't like to get called out
and I'm going to change it, or again do they not?
It's that's going to be really fast.
Speaker 2 (21:41):
Kind of a cool, young way to do it. I guess.
We saw Kim Wore talking about the Titans recently. We
will see how this pans out for all these young
guys coming up on our show. Drake May speaking of
a young quarterback and the Patriots are rolling. Do they
have a postseason birth in Mike Rabel's first year as
a head coach in New England? Kyle Man, that's a question.
Speaker 1 (22:00):
It is, and we got some answers to the question
of who are.
Speaker 4 (22:03):
You giving your game?
Speaker 1 (22:04):
We always put our own spin on it. It's not
always the biggest player, the most famous player. Sometimes it's
a role player. Sometimes it's a superstar. Game Ball is
coming up after this, Don't go anywhere.
Speaker 12 (22:28):
Well, I think it starts with the leadership in helping
articulate that for the guys, and then what we're expecting
out of the guys. Right, we're expecting this, Are we
getting that? Are we not getting that? We have guys
showing up to only player only meetings late, guys not
showing up to player only meeting, Like, there's a lot
that goes into that.
Speaker 4 (22:48):
Do we have to make this mandatory? Do we not
have to make this mandatory?
Speaker 12 (22:52):
So so it's it's a lot of it's a lot
of things of that nature that we got to get
cleaned up. And it starts with the little things like that.
Speaker 4 (23:02):
To be clears.
Speaker 11 (23:03):
You're saying's a player's worldform miss late.
Speaker 4 (23:06):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (23:07):
The twenty twenty five Miami Dolphins are one in five
at this point in the NFL season. That's their quarterback
to a Tongue of Viloa after yet another loss, this
time at home to the Chargers, explaining perhaps what is
going on with some of the players in locker room
and how they need to be held accountable differently, Kyle Brandt,
we just heard from me and Rapaport about this and
how he believes that Tua could be including himself in
(23:30):
that leadership and that we need to have a different standard.
What do you make of this when you hear the
quarterback and see the product.
Speaker 4 (23:36):
On the field.
Speaker 1 (23:37):
These meetings, Jamie, where everyone just kind of talks and
no one's really paying attention. You're doing them just to
do them. But enough about television production meetings. Let's talk
about the Dolphins team meetings. Listen, Tua made several bad
reads on the field yesterday, and then I thought made
a bad read here to come immediately after another loss.
And the whole thing he said was a lot of
(23:58):
they and them and not a lot of me and I.
It's hard enough for me to come out after you
throw three interceptions and say, well, it's because you know,
the guys aren't coming to the meetings on time. Well,
if they're not coming to the meetings on time, then
they don't respect the coach, they don't respect you, and
I probably they probably do it less now. I don't
(24:19):
know how you walk back into the locker room after
doing that when you played the way you did and
then said, yeah, but guys aren't on time to meetings.
I just too has a lot of things going for him,
and I like him as a person. I don't think
he has a great sense of timing with the media
and tone with the media because this thing was off.
I know a lot of X players on Twitter I
saw that were like, oh, why would you do that?
(24:39):
Where are you going saying that it's just not a
good time right now? That SoundBite alone could end to
the end, to lead to the end of Mike McDaniel,
It could eventually lead to the end of Tua and
it's just all encompassing in a terrible season. I thought
that was a really, really bad SoundBite and bad timing
on a day when he had a lot of that.
Speaker 4 (24:58):
Yeah.
Speaker 8 (24:58):
God, I watched a lot of Dave Schappelle back in
the day, and this is a classic case of when keeping.
Speaker 4 (25:04):
It real goes wrong.
Speaker 8 (25:06):
This is you just can't do this, regardless of how
I hear you saying about how you played, regardless of
how you played. You have a responsibility as a quarterback
to always protect the team, to always represent the team.
Speaker 4 (25:21):
You have to bear the weight.
Speaker 8 (25:23):
That's what the paycheck says, bear the weight of the team.
Even when things are not going good. You have to
at least be put pc forward facing and you handle
your mess in the back. When you do what you did,
you were literally welcoming in the media and everybody else
on the outside to go that's a free warrant to
go search your house. Now everybody's in the house looking
(25:44):
for you, looking for something. They're looking for evidence, and
now it's a process of elimination. Who was late, who
didn't show up, Who's doing this who? It's negativity. There
is nothing that was going to be productive that came
from him standing at that podium talking to people respectfully
that have nothing to do with the inside housekeeping.
Speaker 4 (26:02):
You just walcome everybody in your house, and now you
got to clean up a mess.
Speaker 1 (26:06):
Everybody knows to a brother or mine.
Speaker 7 (26:08):
Yeah, I do know him personally, and I know him
well enough to know that Jamie and I have mentioned
this a few times this year. I see a different tool.
He's a more combative tool, a more tool. Has always
been somebody who's reserved, and he does take the high
road every single time. This year, I see a tool
(26:31):
that is like, Okay, you want me to be the
bad man, I'll be the bad man. I am not
excusing him of the comments that he made about his teammates.
I'm not excusing his decisions of what he said after
a game where he didn't play his best game. I
don't know why he would say that. Isaiah brought up
a great point as to this being an invitation for
(26:54):
people on the outside now has an exclusive look of
what's going on in the locker room. Was that tool's
objective was that what he was trying to do. I
don't know what it's like in Miami. I don't know
what that dynamic is like. I don't know how many meetings,
player meetings, coaches to player meetings they've been having. I
don't know if certain players have been barking up a tree.
(27:15):
That's just not responding the way they want to respond.
And somebody took their liberties of standing in front of
the media and said, hey, listen, I've done everything, I
exhausted everything, come in regardless. That is just not something
that as a representative of the fraternity that is the
National Football League, that we do.
Speaker 1 (27:33):
I love my brother again, I don't excuse that. As
a leader.
Speaker 7 (27:38):
Myself, I would never go up there and say, listen.
Speaker 1 (27:41):
Jamie's late. She never shows up, she never shows up
to the production.
Speaker 4 (27:44):
Meeting, KAB.
Speaker 7 (27:45):
I would never do that, even though we don't do that.
It's just as a leader of a group of people,
I would want to represent them the best way. And
I don't think my brother did it the best way
he could. So thank well you made it hard for
me this morning.
Speaker 4 (27:57):
Brother. That's what I say.
Speaker 1 (27:58):
It's media man, great job man. I feel you, bro,
I feel you.
Speaker 2 (28:03):
We'll watch this centful. The Dolphins have to travel to
Cleveland next week and they'll have another road game against
the Falcons a week after that game ball segment on GMFB,
we have four two hand out, my brother Mantai, you
are up first, my friends, four.
Speaker 4 (28:17):
To hand out that I could have given this.
Speaker 1 (28:20):
I got a James awkward, so awkward. Take the ball away, James.
Speaker 7 (28:24):
That's exactly what the Broncos defense did yesterday.
Speaker 1 (28:27):
My game ball goes to.
Speaker 7 (28:28):
The Broncos defense, specifically that defensive line. They had twenty
one sacks coming into this week. They had nine sacks
yesterday and they held the Jets offense to eighty two
yards total. That's the most sacks by a Denver defense
six week one in nineteen ninety six. In nineteen ninety six,
guess who it was against, Guys, the Jets. Every time
the Broncos played the Jets, they seem to get a
(28:49):
lot of sex. So I got my game ball, guys,
goes to that Jets front. I got to witness it
first hand yesterday morning.
Speaker 4 (28:56):
What a great showing by them.
Speaker 8 (28:58):
I see what you did there all right, now, listen,
my game ball has to go to somebody who won
we could go had two hundred yards rushing, and it
told his former team that paid his replacement the same
amount that he's getting paid. Buckle up, butter Cup, because
I'm coming to town. Listen up, Rico.
Speaker 4 (29:17):
Rico now as getting my game ball.
Speaker 8 (29:19):
One hundred and eighty three yards on the ground back
to back games, two hundred and thirty all purpose yards.
He put the Cowboys on notice, told him what he
was gonna do, and then follow through. It is not
the easiest thing to do in this league with professional
players that are grown man to go out there and
tell them that you're gonna bust them in their face
and didn't go out there and actually execute it. Shout
out to Rico, o'donald, you deserve his game ball.
Speaker 2 (29:41):
It's been a really unfortunate morning talking about all these
injuries that we have to keep up with, and Tampa
Bay is not alone, and that their wide receivers are
down and out, but their quarterback is playing out of
his mind. He had to go to like a fifth
string wide receiver. Yesterday in Tes Johnson test, Johnson gets
my game ball, everybody not Baker. This was the one
catch Tess Johnson had yesterday. For forty five yards. Now,
(30:02):
this name may sound familiar to you. Tess Johnson is
the adopted brother of Bo Nicks, the current Denver Broncos quarterback.
The Knicks family took Tes Johnson in after he suffered
unreasonable heartbreak as a child and in Birmingham, Alabama. They
both went to Penson Valley High School. Tes Johnson moved
in with the Knicks family. They go to Oregon together.
It's a wonderful story. So Test Johnson knows a thing
(30:24):
or two about getting along with quarterbacks and making sure
he makes himself available. He also has a great spot
saying I'm Tes Johnson, I'm a little guy that dreams big.
His teammates called tz Manian devil with the flip. However,
one catch for forty five yards, mister Test Johnson does
not make you a qualifier for the league's MVP. There
was a little clarification about this in the locker room yesterday.
Speaker 4 (30:45):
I'm gonna tell you a funny story. This is crazy.
Speaker 10 (30:47):
When I score and I hit MVP champ, I'm thinking
they talking about me.
Speaker 4 (30:53):
So I asked SHEP.
Speaker 10 (30:54):
I'm like, SHP, they was chaying MVP and he was like, yeah,
I was like, I ain't do nothing this year, and
he was like they talking about Baker Test and.
Speaker 2 (31:01):
I was like, I was like, well, and I want
that clip played at NFL Honors. If Baker is walking
across to the stage, that is fantastic. Tes Johnson, heck
of a story, heck of a single catch, and you
know what, you're the MVP for this segment.
Speaker 1 (31:16):
Buddy Banks. Definitely, that would have been like last year
when Josh Allen wanted if, like Keon Coleman, thought they
were chanting MVP for him. It's like, come on, dude,
you're a good ben player. He made a great play. Also,
Baker joked that Test is one hundred and forty two
pounds and that's why he can do backflips. He's actually
one hundred and sixty five, so let's give him full credit.
One sixty five in the NFL is pretty amazing that
(31:36):
you're out there making plays. But I'm also going to
go to a wide receiver and I'm very excited to
say his name. My game ball, My game ball goes
to Kayshawn Booty. Bring it up two touchdowns for New England.
Kayshawn Booty is a weapon. He's in the Dome. Drake
May had a great day yesterday, and often it was
when throwing to Kayshawn Booty. I'm going to keep saying
(31:58):
Kayshawn Booty because it's fun to watch the Patriots games
and watch the year and listen to the announcers either
apple or snicker about saying his name. I also want
to say that some people have seemed to think that
it's Kashawan Butte or boot It's full on booty, guys.
It's like booty call, like shake your booty. I have
(32:18):
heard him say it. I have video of Kaishan Booty
saying his name. It's just booty b o O t y.
It could be spelled that way. And so that leads
to all kinds of things where Ian Eagle Ear is
like in there grabbing Booty, or if there's a pass interference,
he gets the booty call. It's all wonderful, it's all fun.
But just for the record, everybody stop trying to dress
this thing up.
Speaker 4 (32:38):
Just own it.
Speaker 1 (32:39):
It's booty.
Speaker 4 (32:41):
That's it.
Speaker 1 (32:41):
And in this case he gets my call. Kaishan Booty,
great name, but also excellent player for an excellent Patriots team.
My game ball one more time goes to who guys
Kashawan Booty. I was confused a little.
Speaker 7 (32:53):
Bit for a little bit KB, because I wasn't sure
if you were giving him.
Speaker 4 (32:56):
The game ball for a stats or the name.
Speaker 7 (32:58):
We're going to talk about the name but also incorporated
the stats.
Speaker 1 (33:01):
So I like, I'm confused, Like you're calling him KB
because he's another KB, but we should just always call
him boy. In fact, I think his nickname is is
Kaishan the call booty Like he's just known.
Speaker 2 (33:12):
As the call now And I like that, ACU, that's
a great nickname. I thought we were just making another
Varsity Blues reference. Doesn't that sound like a Varsity News character.
All we have to ask for is for Ryan Eagle
to stick the landing on saying Kaishon Booty's name correctly,
just like Tedes Johnson's like you want me to flip?
You want me too? Oh, well done, Tedes Johnson All
wide Receivers. That was our game ball segment on Jeanemusree.
Speaker 1 (33:44):
Each week.
Speaker 7 (33:45):
At this time I had on my defensive Pro Player
of the Week. Today, we're headed to Baltimore, where the
Rams linebacker Nate Landman was everywhere. Landman was callsing problems
for the Ravens offense all day long. He finished the
game with seventeen total tackles. WHOA, it was the most
My Rams player since two thousand. Landman was a true
(34:06):
game wrecker on Sunday. For all these reasons, My Pro
Defensive Player of the Week Go So Nate Landman of
the La Rams. Analyze a game like a Pro with

Speaker 1 (34:24):

Speaker 4 (34:26):
Wet Now.
Speaker 1 (34:27):
Landman was causing chaos on the field.
Speaker 4 (34:29):
But there's some chaos.
Speaker 7 (34:30):
You're going to be talking about Sherry burrs that happened
in London.
Speaker 4 (34:33):
What is it?
Speaker 13 (34:33):
Yeah, Well, the Rams are going to London this weekend
and that's where the Jets just finished playing and they're
still winless on the season after their loss to the Broncos.
Intensions are running high, maybe even boiling over at the
end of the first half. Watch this down ten thick
to the end of the second quarter.
Speaker 2 (34:50):
The Jets went.
Speaker 13 (34:51):
Forward on four down to pick up the first with
about a minute to play, but facing yet another fourth
and one. You see Aaron Glenn head coach, they're deciding
to let the clock run out, which did not sit
well with Garrett Wilson. He had some words for glenn'
se him getting in his ear right there. Well, Wilson
talked about this after the game.
Speaker 10 (35:11):
I just didn't know exactly what the plan was, and
once I figured it out, you know, I was disappointed.
And I'll just say that, so, yeah, is.
Speaker 4 (35:21):
That what you mean.
Speaker 1 (35:22):
Yeah, I didn't know exactly like what the plan was.
Speaker 10 (35:25):
I just I just thought we were once we you know,
converted the fourth down, I just thought we were going
for the you know, trying to make the play and
then obviously we get to another fourth down and it's
a tough spot to be in. So, you know, in hindsight,
I get why they did that, but in the moment,
I was just like.
Speaker 13 (35:41):
Man, I don't know, there's a lot to unpack there.
Clearly he thought they should have run the play, maybe Kyle,
there even was a chance for a hail Mary. It
was an interesting play call, in interesting in the fact
that Wilson would even get in coach coach's.
Speaker 4 (35:55):
Ear like that.
Speaker 1 (35:56):
Yeah, They're an interesting team. I'm gonna say it with
my chest. I like watching this Jets team. I know
no one else does.
Speaker 4 (36:03):
Maybe, but let's if you've.
Speaker 1 (36:05):
Watched a lot of football, and if you're watching the show,
you probably have. I just like to see things I've
never seen before. It's fun, it's interesting. I have never
seen a sequence like at the end of the first
half of the Jets in which they fake a punts
to extend the drive and then twenty seconds later they're
just like, nah, never mind, let's just go to halftime,
and the wide receiver is screaming at the head coach.
Speaker 4 (36:24):
I've never seen that.
Speaker 1 (36:25):
I've also never seen our colleague Kurt Warner, who knows
everything about football and is on the call, tweeting in
the middle of the broadcast at halftime about what the
heck was that last sequence. I've never seen that before.
I've never seen after the game when a reporter asks
if to Aaron Glenn if Justin Fields is still the quarterback,
and he goes, now, what kind of question is that?
(36:47):
I think A good one? Coach, did you just watch
the game? It was historically bad passing. Why wouldn't I
ask that question? So even at halftime and after the
game when the Jets aren't playing, they're still interesting. The
defense was very good yesterday. That's solid football, but the
team is so weird.
Speaker 4 (37:04):
Go off the wall.
Speaker 1 (37:05):
I'm already excited for Jets Panthers, by the way, a
game in which the Jets our favorite. I'm just reading
that's even interesting. So Jets last winless team, I don't care.
I like them, I'm into them.
Speaker 7 (37:17):
What I'd like to know is when Garrett Wilson said,
I didn't know the plan, but when I found out
the plan, I was disappointed. I would like to know
what that plan was because I didn't think of any
other situation where you just great question, you just go
run the play like it's like the Herm Edwards quote,
you play to win the game. It was one of
those situations, like, well, what was the plan? Because I
(37:38):
would love to know.
Speaker 4 (37:39):
I don't know that the Jets have a plan offensively
right now.
Speaker 8 (37:42):
Whatever the plan is is bad, so go ahead and
etch and sketch it, shake it up, and draw up
something new because it's not.
Speaker 4 (37:47):
Working for you. Sketch it.
Speaker 2 (37:48):
So like your quarterbacks number one option in a situation
like that, should know the plan before hand.
Speaker 4 (37:53):
Doesn't that feel like that should you.
Speaker 13 (37:55):
Would think, but they do have that whole long flight
coming back from London. Yeah, you can sort of sort
that out on the flight, if they so choose. I'll
discuss there. He gets entertained all time.
Speaker 4 (38:06):
Thanks for the content, appreciate it.
Speaker 2 (38:09):
There's no way the following plays happen. We still have
some moments we have to review to wrap up our
show on GMFB on a Monday, Manti Europe first. There's
no way.
Speaker 7 (38:17):
There's no way, but there is a way with Tyke
Smith for the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. I know if you
guys saw this, but there was a turnover last night
where the San Francisco fort nine ers turned over the
ball and then Tyke Smith, who's.
Speaker 1 (38:29):
Five to ten, two hundred pounds, runs to the biggest
San Francisco fort nin er two block them. So he's
blocking them and then Trent tries to throw him, he
tries to him, tops him. I think Tykey won this one, guys.
Speaker 4 (38:39):
I think he won.
Speaker 7 (38:40):
And wrestling or judo or whatever it is, I think
Tyke would have won this matchup and I love it.
I love it because as a defender, you know you
know this Isaiah when there's an interception. You're very calculated
at who you block. Tyke said, I don't care about anybody.
I'm going for the biggest, the baddest dude on the
other team, and I'm gonna win.
Speaker 4 (38:56):
Shout out to Tyke.
Speaker 8 (38:57):
Tykey wanted to smoke, But you know who else wanted
to smoke. Dylan Gabriel wanted to smoke somehow, some way.
He got so frustrated that he decided to try to
pick a fight with Pat.
Speaker 1 (39:08):
This right here, and you're gonna see it.
Speaker 4 (39:10):
You know, you gotta go back to the close up. Kay,
that the past. But he actually got hit on his watch.
His boom takes a shot, came here, I'm gonna get
all right. I'm not all right. I'm not nothing going
on here.
Speaker 8 (39:20):
Nothing going on here, nothing to see at all.
Speaker 1 (39:23):
What were you thinking, bro, You were not going to
win that fight.
Speaker 4 (39:27):
There ain't no way you thought that was a good idea.
Speaker 2 (39:29):
This is all great for guys that are actively playing
in the game. There is no way moment from Sunday
comes from a man who started two hundred and forty
four career games at quarterback. He's an NFL MVP, But man,
that one hour of a pregame show. Hits different if
you're Matt Ryan, check it out.
Speaker 8 (39:46):
I started down at that end of the table, right,
you're cramping up. Hey, you know what.
Speaker 1 (39:52):
Tramping up around?
Speaker 4 (39:53):
Got it? Train training up? Get him.
Speaker 1 (39:58):
Right? Bro? Goodness anyway, Wow, you get some attention from trainer.
Speaker 4 (40:05):
Let me pick up.
Speaker 1 (40:07):
I don't know what the point is. We got older players,
we gotta have rotations.
Speaker 4 (40:12):
Got listen to su.
Speaker 1 (40:17):
Get your old has back on the table. Listen, how
are you scramping out? And you're not even doing anything?
Speaker 4 (40:22):
Coffee? Too much coffee?
Speaker 1 (40:24):
As I started down at that, Yeah, you're.
Speaker 2 (40:26):
Already behind Matt. He's grabbing the bottle of water to
try to rehydrate. It's like, dude, the damage is done.
KB and Npurlson just being like, yo, get back up here, man,
you got.
Speaker 4 (40:36):
To do a show.
Speaker 1 (40:37):
Yeah, well Nate said something like that, and it's and
it's you former players. Man, you guys get all these
bumps and bruises. I love you so much. You're sitting
there just fully cramping up at the table. I've never
had that in my whole career, you know. Differently relatability, No,
not while I'm sitting here.
Speaker 4 (40:52):
I mean not not the desk.
Speaker 1 (40:53):
I have everything else but relatability. We talked a lot
of you know, I'm coaching these fifth and sixth grade
kids right now. This happens to me ten times of
practice and ten times a game. Watch Charlie Cohler the
Baltimore Ravens as he sees Derrick Henry's got an equipment issue.
Speaker 4 (41:10):
Watched this.
Speaker 1 (41:10):
Derek Henry on the far left, his shoes untied, and
Charlie's like, oh no, no, no, no, no, come here, come.
He gets down on his damn knee and takes his
glove off to tie Dereck Henry's shoe. I cannot tell
you how much I relate to that, especially as a coach.
If it's like your star running back or something and
he doesn't have a shoe tied, I will sprint onto
the field. Plus they're always coming up to you, coach,
(41:32):
can you button my chin strap? Coach?
Speaker 4 (41:33):
Can you do this?
Speaker 1 (41:34):
And you're like get over here, get over and you snapping,
get back in there. So I relate to Charlie Coler.
He's like, oh my god, Derek shoes untied. He full
on dope, get that thing and put the bunny in
the hole. On the wrap around. I totally get it.
Great moment.
Speaker 2 (41:48):
The next level of parenting or coaching the kids would
have been, like, put your cleat right on my leg
here and I'll tie it up. Like, get it right
up to your level?
Speaker 4 (41:55):
The commit to take your glove off in the middle
of a game. Now, how hard it is getna glove
on when your hands are sweaty?
Speaker 1 (42:01):
No? No, how hard it is to tie a shoelace
which your glove.
Speaker 4 (42:05):
Yeah, that is almost impossible.
Speaker 2 (42:08):
Two games tonight, Kytrate. Everybody's stay hybrated.
Good Morning Football is the production of the NFL in
partnership with iHeartRadio.
Speaker 2 (00:11):
It's Good Morning Football Everybody, presented by Old Trapper Beef Jerkey. Monday,
October thirteenth, Jamie Hear at All mansit Seo Isaiah standbacks
here in Los Angeles, Kyle Brandt in New York City, Kyle,
the way you always explained the season on Go Morning Football.
To me, it's like an upside down triangle. Teams start
to whittle themselves away, and then once we have our
eyes squarely on those who play in the super Bowl,
it's the smallest point. I feel like this season is
(00:32):
a square. I don't know who's who. I don't know
who's good. I'm not sure who we're supposed to be
focused on. The shapes are all very confusing to me.
Speaker 1 (00:39):
Kyle, Well, there's something that's for certain. And you guys
have asked me a lot to show the back page
of the New York Post, and every time I do,
it's baseball. The worst thing going for the Jets right
now is that the Yankees and Mets season is over.
So there you got Yu with the UK in the green.
There's no Mets, there's no Yankees. So welcome to the
(01:00):
back page. You've got Justin Fields without a damn helmet,
you got Serby, you got bloody awful, you got all
kinds of local British references. I'm sorry, but if only
the Mets and Yankees could have played in the World Series,
then the Jets would never show up. But they have
they do. Let's start the show and karat to keep
a little more positive with the upside down trying. The
newspaper is a square, that's true.
Speaker 3 (01:22):
Yeah, welcome to Good Morning Football presented by Old Trapper.
Speaker 2 (01:39):
Yeah, that's right GMFB on a Monday. Welcome in everybody.
Kyle just showed us the backpage of the New York Posts.
I honestly interpreted that yuck y uk. Is you okay
Jets fans? Or I honestly thought, Kyle, they'd still be
riding high from the Thursday night. I mean, I thought
they could have just been doing Giants headlines all the
way until the Giants play their next game. It was
so good.
Speaker 1 (01:58):
No, they like the negative, the Giants. They're never mind
that scatter booon like the coolest breath of fresh air
in the entire NFL. If we got a yuck wordplay.
We're gonna run that. The Giants did not play yesterday,
as we know the Jets certainly did.
Speaker 4 (02:15):
It was not great.
Speaker 1 (02:16):
Well.
Speaker 2 (02:16):
We also had a Sunday night game that many felt
was just going to be ever so defining. The Lions
were flying high. The Chiefs were a big old question mark,
but they turned that into an exclamation point. Kyle, what happened?
Please give us the highlight, Lions.
Speaker 4 (02:29):
Let's go.
Speaker 1 (02:30):
Let's go to Arrowhead Stadium, usually the site of the
AFC Championship game. Will it be this year? I don't know.
Can you tell me for sure it won't be?
Speaker 4 (02:39):
I can't.
Speaker 1 (02:40):
Jared Goff very interesting play. David Montgomery, former quarterback, throws
to Jared Goff, he catches it touchdown. However, there was
a they looked at it, they talked about it. There's
all kinds of communication there and maybe elsewhere, and they
determined that Jared Goff cannot establish himself as quarterback and
then go in motion. Goff said he didn't feel like
he did establish himself, but the efficials disagreed. Goff even
(03:01):
said after that to do more research on that. They've
ended up getting a few goal in the play and
then later in the game, on a fourth and two,
aman Rod does something he never does, typical catch.
Speaker 4 (03:10):
Maybe a little bit.
Speaker 1 (03:10):
But he always catches. That's his first drop of the season.
Detroit still up though, Oh those tricky Chiefs. Never mind
the flag it was on Detroit, because all the flags
are on Detroit. There's Mahomes flexing in Brian Branch's face.
Speaker 4 (03:23):
That would be a.
Speaker 1 (03:24):
Harbinger of things to come. He's gonna point this out.
The Chiefs had zero penalties in this game, zero and
I think that led to a lot of the frustration
for Detroit. This catch was astronomical. This was an amazing
one handed grab, toe tap. This is some wide receiver stuff.
The fact that Sam Laporter's doing that as a big
tight end is also a great blocker. It's really impressive.
(03:45):
But Kansas City's still winning. To Kansas City going to Hollywood,
Brown opening up the lead. They pulled away late. Detroit
thought of as the best team in the NFL after
five weeks. No, it was kneel downs for the Chiefs.
A two score win or at least a thirteen point win,
and then.
Speaker 4 (04:00):
We're starting to throw punches.
Speaker 1 (04:01):
Boom boom, boom.
Speaker 4 (04:02):
Watch what happened.
Speaker 1 (04:03):
Mahome says, hey, a great game, Brian. After you that,
Brian's like, I'm not feeling it all right, He's just
gonna leave him hanging. Juju starts chirping. Juju and Branch
had gone at it during the game, and then Branch
just says, I think I've had it enough of this
zap to the face. But check out to his credits,
like no, no, no, no, no no no, don't do that.
But Juju's like, it's not gonna work for me. I'm
gonna start fighting. He loses his helmet. There's a lot
(04:24):
of Chiefs there, Thankfully, they are trying to de escalate.
There's not kicking him punching. Afterwards, Campbell said he'd hated
it for his own places. I love Brian Branch. I
hate to say, that's not what we're about. Branch said
he was blocked in the back and they didn't call it.
Thought he could have been hurt, and he just lost it.
Thirty to seventeen. Afterwards, Dan Campbell, like I mentioned, and
(04:46):
then Patrick Mahomes after the Chiefs win to get to
three and three.
Speaker 5 (04:50):
You're playing football, I mean, you're you're being chippy. That's
a physical football team, and they have a mentality of
that they come in to play with and we're gonna
match that mentality. You know, we're we're not afraid to
go up against anybody. That's the mentality coach he brings
every single day, and we're gonna match the intensity of
who football fielder.
Speaker 6 (05:05):
I love Brown Branch, but what he did is inexcusable
and it's not going to be accepted here.
Speaker 4 (05:10):
It's not what we do. It's not what we're about.
Speaker 6 (05:13):
I apologize to uh, Coach Reid and the Chiefs and uh,
you know and Schuster, that's not okay. That's not what
we do here, and it's not going to be okay.
He knows it, our team knows it, and so that's
that's that's not what we do.
Speaker 2 (05:33):
Lions head coach Dan Campbell quick with the clarification about
what the Lions are about and the behavior by Brian
Branch after the game, anti is not that. However, the
scuffle did still occur, the melee, the what have you?
What do you make of this behavior?
Speaker 7 (05:46):
Well, when coach Dan Campbell says that that's not what
they're about, I totally agree with him, and I totally
believe him. Why because he was once my coach and
we got to see how he structured his team and
the culture of that team and expectations. Listen, they're a
tough team, they're a nasty team, but they're not a
dirty team. Like the thing about Coach Campbell's teams is
they do so well within the echoes of the whistle.
(06:09):
When it within the parameters of the game, they play nasty,
they play physical.
Speaker 4 (06:13):
That stuff after I don't, I don't. I don't get this, guys,
I read it. Don't.
Speaker 1 (06:18):
The thing I love about football is, ever since.
Speaker 7 (06:20):
I was young, we're always told this is the only
game that you could legally go out and hit somebody,
that you can legally go out if you don't like
somebody within the echoes of the whistle, that you could
do something about it.
Speaker 1 (06:31):
This isn't football.
Speaker 4 (06:32):
That stuff isn't football, right.
Speaker 7 (06:33):
Like that that that has no place in the game,
whether it's during the game or after the game. That
just makes the brand look bad and makes the Lions
look bad and makes Brian branch look bad. And that's
a that's a really good football player, Brian Branch Is,
he's a really good safety. I really like how he
plays the game. I think he just got emotions get
the best of him and he just represented that franchise
(06:55):
in a bad light. And the no coach, Dan Campbell,
will we'll go correct it.
Speaker 8 (06:59):
I got a friend named Barry Church plays safety in
his league for a long time and he always says, yes,
sure cost you a little, It might cost you a lot,
but it's gonna cost you right.
Speaker 1 (07:09):
It's gonna cost you some bread.
Speaker 8 (07:10):
They are going to take that right out of your check.
This is all about emotional intelligence.
Speaker 4 (07:15):
Obviously.
Speaker 8 (07:16):
I all the respect in the world to Dan Campbell
for coming up and apologizing on his behalf, apologizing to
the opposing team, the individual that it affected, the coach.
This is you have to have emotional intelligence in this game,
and Manti just alluded to it, especially when you play
the safety position. If you have a if you play
that position, your job is a run and hit people.
Now you realize that this may or may not be
(07:36):
your only time that you face this team, right, the
only way that you face this team again is if
you make it to the big Show and they make
it to the Big Show. But you have to play
the game the right way and as soon as the
game is over. You take your al and you walk away.
Sometimes you just got to take your air and walk away.
Back in the day, if I was a poor sport,
I would turn off the dog on an Xbox and
I'll just take my controller and.
Speaker 4 (07:56):
I'll walk out the house.
Speaker 1 (07:57):
Sometimes you just got to walk.
Speaker 4 (07:58):
Out the house.
Speaker 8 (07:59):
Right, Don't go out there and exasperate the issue. You've
made yourself and your team look bad.
Speaker 1 (08:04):
This is a little context. Let's try to get into
Brian Branch's head, who is an excellent player and flew
completely off the handle. The Chiefs had zero penalties in
this game. Yeah, that's very rare. Zero. Not to mention also,
the Lions had a touchdown that was taken off the
board to Jared Goff that while it was the right call,
the way it unfolded triggered a lot of the Lions
(08:25):
fans and certainly a lot of the Lions players. There
is a perception, right or wrong, that the Chiefs and
Kelsey and Mahomes at all get calls. We know that
is going on for years, especially at Arrowhead. If you
are Brian Branch and you feel right or wrong that
you've been held all game or you've been this and
this zero penalties and he's like, he blew off the handle.
I mean, I'm not condonating, and this is terrible, this part.
Speaker 4 (08:46):
I don't care.
Speaker 1 (08:48):
I'm actually fine. He didn't like Patrick Mahomes, fine, do
it the rest of if it is nonsense, But I
just let's understand what was going on here. There's a
football thing in which you go play an entire game
with zero penalties. It's very rare, and people get triggered
by it. Now this is bush league. And I'm going
to finish by just.
Speaker 4 (09:04):
Agreeing with you. Guys.
Speaker 1 (09:06):
If anyone who is a critic or a nasayer who's
still clinging to any sinew whatsoever that Dan Campbell is
some sort of meathead fixed. Dan Campbell could have said, hey, man,
you don't mess with us. I like seeing some fight
at the end of the US. That's idiotic. He's like,
that is not us. That is not US as an institution,
(09:26):
as a team. Like that was a perfect, perfect response
from a guy who could have been still in his emotions,
still in his frustrations about the officiating, and said something
reckless and stupid and ignorant about like kneecaps or some
stuff that's years ago. That was a very enlightened response
from Campbell. If you still think he's anything less than
(09:47):
a brilliant head coach, just watch that in the moment
paneled perfectly. Branch terrible decision, Campbell excellent.
Speaker 2 (09:54):
Branch called it childish after the fact, and like we said,
he tried to blame it on some of his emotions
from calls that were made or not made against him.
But it is what it is, and Campbell handled it perfectly. Now,
you are a young player in the league, you are
highly emotional. Then you at the other end of the spectrum,
which is a wily vet in the league. Kyle Brant,
We're going to look at a Brown Steelers highlight where
there is one wily bet I'm looking squarely at and
(10:15):
it's he who is not that guy. It's he who
is quarterbacking the Pittsburgh team.
Speaker 4 (10:20):
All right.
Speaker 1 (10:20):
So Dylan Gabrael with his second start, Aaron Rodgers in
his twenty first season. How about this, Jalen Ramsey. Jalen
Ramsey had two sacks in this game. He's playing in
a game with Miles Garrett and TJ. Watt and he
was the best pass rusher. Unbelievable it's really really cool.
He hasn't had very many sacks even in his career,
but just an awesome effort from him, and then Rodgers
doing things like this. Guys, the DK thing is working.
(10:43):
DK to Pittsburgh is working. I mentioned it earlier with Pickens.
He's in Dallas. Now Bat's working. All of this is working.
Let's celebrate some things that are working. It's great and
Rodgers is working. And by the way, they're four and one,
four and one in the AFC. North is eight and one.
It's insert incredible. Afterwards, we heard from Aaron Rodgers and
Miles Garrett. Go ahead and take a listen to hear
Miles Garrett whying about how they're not winning at all
(11:05):
while he counts his money.
Speaker 9 (11:08):
You know, for the most part, that's a really good
defense that's going to stand up most of the game.
We just had to make the most of you know,
a short field on one of them, then a couple
of really nice sustained drives in the second half.
Speaker 1 (11:18):
It seems like every game the script is kind of
the same, where the offense really isn't undertime that market
Mark Ye a little more.
Speaker 8 (11:25):
Frusture to keep it got to.
Speaker 4 (11:30):
That's frustrating. That's frustrated to lose the same way every time.
It's frustrating as hell.
Speaker 2 (11:35):
He understands the question, he validates the answer. The Browns
are looking at the Steelers at the top of the
division as they sit at four and one in the
AFC North and in their year as well, the Bengals
trail at two and four, and the Browns continue to
find challenges in the face diversity of the Ravenshoof. That's
a whole different conversation. Have you changed your expectations, man, Si,
(11:55):
when you consider what Rogers was supposed to be in
Pittsburgh also what he is delivering after this weekend.
Speaker 7 (12:01):
No, I don't change my expectations of Aaron Rodgers. I
always believe that going into this into the season, with
the system that they have over there in Pittsburgh, relying
heavily on the run, that it's not gonna put Aaron
Rodgers in a position.
Speaker 1 (12:15):
To feel like he has to win the game.
Speaker 7 (12:16):
And I feel that he's been doing such a great
job and he showed that yesterday with him being able
to direct traffic while he's scrambling and do the things
that Aaron Rodgers has been accustomed to do. What I
did not expect was I worked the London game here
in this building yesterday morning, and I watched the Jets
and the Broncos game where the Jets had nine sacks.
I was like, holy schmokes, can somebody protect the quarterback?
(12:39):
And then I flip on this game the very next hour,
the very next window of games, the Steelers had six
sacks guys, and to Kb's point, Jalen Ramsey had too.
And there's a there's a clip that I want to
say that I want to throw to right now about
what he had to say after that game we had
two sacks.
Speaker 4 (12:57):
I'm gonna probably tell my kids about this.
Speaker 10 (12:59):
I played in the game with TJ Wye in Miles geared,
and I had two sacks.
Speaker 4 (13:05):
That's crazy. Huh, that's crazy.
Speaker 10 (13:07):
So yeah, it was my first first time in my
whole career having two sacks in one game.
Speaker 4 (13:12):
So that's pretty cool too.
Speaker 1 (13:13):
It he's got he had two sacks.
Speaker 4 (13:16):
Her Big had two sacks.
Speaker 7 (13:18):
Dylan Gabriel was pressured on forty one percent of the
snaps that they played yesterday for the Cleveland Browns. So
when I watched the morning game, I was like, Wow.
When I watched this game. I was like, wow, So no,
my expectations, Jamie hasn't changed.
Speaker 8 (13:29):
Perfect expectations have not changed because I know that Aaron
Rodgers is still a dude. And as long as Aaron
Rodgers has protection and he has weapons to get the
ball to, he's going to ball. You can say he's
one hundred and seventy two years old, you can say
that he's been playing for twenty plus years. Aaron Rodgers
is a ron aka John Wick in my eyes, and
this dude is just an absolute beast. He and DK
(13:51):
Metcalf are figuring this thing out and we talked about
you know, your cal already mentioned.
Speaker 4 (13:56):
It that the trade is working right.
Speaker 8 (13:57):
The Cowboys are happy with with George Piggins and now
that with Pittsburgh teamers I.
Speaker 4 (14:01):
Had to do with DK Metcalf.
Speaker 8 (14:02):
DK Metcalf hands down to the most physical and arguably one
of the fastest receivers in the game.
Speaker 4 (14:08):
There's an absolute beast.
Speaker 8 (14:10):
When you start talking about Aaron Rodgers and him getting
on the same page, that's when it gets scary.
Speaker 4 (14:14):
The last two.
Speaker 8 (14:15):
Weeks, DK Metcalf is averaging twenty four yards per reception.
Speaker 1 (14:18):
The last four weeks, DK.
Speaker 8 (14:20):
Metcalf is averaging one touchdown per game. So these guys
are starting to get it figured out. And once they
are on the same page and with the once they
incorporated a running game, this offense is going to be
hard to stop.
Speaker 1 (14:30):
Isaiah, You're on it. I'm watching these highlights of Rogers
throwing a DK and it's reminded me of Devonte, Like
it's all these things where the ball's in the air
before he's even looking. There's palpable chemistry going on here,
and they've been doing it on the fly. I sat
with Rogers a training camp in August. He sits down
in the director's chair before we're even miked up and talking,
and I just say, how's gone, man, And he just
(14:50):
looks at me and goes, We've got a lot of
work to do. And I was like, oh, no, that's
not great. But now it's like that was two to
three months ago, and look what we're looking at. And yeah,
my expectations have changed for the Steelers. You know why,
because of Burrow and Lamar being out. I said they're
four and one. They're eight and one. The AFC North
is a totally different scale. The Bengals are broken, the
(15:10):
Ravens are broken. The Browns are the Browns. Four and
one is like, are we done? Like? Are we gonna
win the division? I know there's a lot of football
left to play, but let me save you the mystery.
The Steelers are gonna be let's call it maybe twelve
and five. I think they're gonna win the division. I
think they're gonna have a home playoff game. And here
we are again in January. The Steelers are playing a
wild card football game, this time at home. And we'll see.
(15:31):
The difference is now they have Aaron Rodgers and they
never have in the past. It's going great, Like I
know that Mike Tomlin has his critics and Rodgers has
his critics. Four and one right now in the AFC
looking smooth. They already have division wins. Like, let's go.
Is this if you would have signed up for four
and one at the beginning of the season and Rodgers
are throwing touchdowns and DK looks great? What is really
(15:52):
the problem with Pittsburgh? They're a really good team. But
I'll bring a full circle, guys, because I asked the
question at the beginning of the of the of the show,
who is the best team in the NFL. Now you
got some Steelers family, like it's Pittsburgh. I don't think Pittsburgh.
He's the best team in the NFL right now. But honestly,
who cares. They're in the worst division in the NFL
and they're stacking wins. That's all I care about.
Speaker 2 (16:11):
Their defense can be talented, their coach can be great,
but it really has a lot to do with the
hands of that quarterback. I had a very rare opportunity
over the last two seasons. I had that Jets game
in London last year when Salad got fired. After where
Rogers is in a production meeting with us, I had
this year Steelers Ireland game. And the difference in a
year that was made for that man in our meetings
(16:32):
and our interactions. He's happy, he's joyful, and he actually
credits Pat Fryarmouth as the guy in the locker room
in the summer to say, hey, we all want to
hang out with you. We want to get on the
same rhythm and make sure we're all in unison, and
Rogers says Dan, Well, if you want to take a
trip to California, I'd be happy to have you. Now,
Rogers admitted to us that This has been said to
(16:53):
him before, and he always invites guys, but it never
really was executed to its fullest extent. And I wondered, honestly,
are people intimidated of him? Do they really want to
go out to Malibu? And he's credited Pat Firemouth for
me the one that's no, we are all showing up
in Malibu. We're gonna go to dinner, we're gonna have
the sushi, we're gonna see the Dolphins, and we're gonna
throw at U CLA. And clearly this thing is panning
(17:14):
out now months later, and it's because someone actually put
the effort in. And Rodgers was like, a lot of
people say that to me, but they never actually buy
the ticket. So guys, young people in the NFL, buy
the ticket, Go hang out with your quarterback. Okay, it works,
have the sushi. You don't know what you're gonna and
what's gonna unfold for you that season. Little story about
the Steelers moving on. Ian Rappaport, Good morning to you.
(17:35):
We got two games on Monday night. This is becoming
quite the trend, but that also means we have a
lot more players to track ahead of a two time matchup.
This evening over on ESPN and ABC.
Speaker 1 (17:45):
What's up. By the way, that was a great Rogers tibbet.
Speaker 11 (17:48):
It's amazing how many times around the league, especially for
young players who like haven't quite figured it out yet,
that you hear they get the invitation and they don't
exactly take the veteran up on like now, I'm good.
Speaker 1 (17:59):
Yeah. You hear some of those.
Speaker 11 (18:00):
Stories every once in a while and you're like, that's
why this guy's give.
Speaker 2 (18:05):
Me the ticket, get the life experience.
Speaker 11 (18:08):
Yes, do the workout with the great player who would
like to help you. Anyway, Let's get to some injuries
for tonight's game. Terry mcclaurin the star receiver for the
Washington Commanders, but dealing with a quad slash hip flexor
injury the last several weeks. He is not going to
play in tonight's game. Chance to play next week, we'll
see if he's able to get there, but not going
to play in tonight's game. Noah Brown also not going
(18:30):
to play in tonight's game. So for the Washington Commanders,
we do have Jayden Daniels back after a little bit
of an absence and did hit the ground running last week.
Speaker 1 (18:37):
Are not going to have the services of.
Speaker 11 (18:39):
Their star receiver for the Buffalo Bills. They, I would say,
have a Dalton Kincaid situation that is pretty up in
the air right now. He was able to practice on
a limited basis this week.
Speaker 1 (18:50):
That is a chance. At least he's got a shot
to play tonight.
Speaker 11 (18:53):
Coach Sean McDermott saying he really wanted to see how
we respond to those final.
Speaker 1 (18:57):
Days right before the game.
Speaker 11 (18:59):
I would expect the decision at some point this afternoon,
but at the least.
Speaker 1 (19:02):
Kincaid has a shot.
Speaker 11 (19:04):
Matt Milano, their star linebacker, already ruled out with a
peck injury.
Speaker 1 (19:09):
Ian most of the former players that I know. We'll
talk about players only meetings as farce, just a buy
the numbers SNL sketch where the players scream a lot
and we say we got to be better, we got
to be better, and then you go out and you
lose again. They took another jump these players only meetings
yesterday after the Dolphins loss, where Tua is saying, we're
(19:31):
not only we having multiple players only meetings, we have
players who are showing up late or not even showing
up at all to the players only meetings. What else
can you tell us about what's happening in Miami.
Speaker 11 (19:41):
Yeah, it seems to be Miami has reached the inflection point, Kyl.
Speaker 1 (19:44):
And you know, we can talk all about.
Speaker 11 (19:46):
The status of Mike McDaniel, the head coach, And first
of all, from my understanding, it would take something significant,
significant for the Miami Dolphics to move on from a
head coach they just extended a couple of years ago,
a head coach that Steven Ross really likes and believes in.
Dolphins want this to work and leave and it will work,
but crazy things can happen. I'm just saying that's where
(20:08):
they stand right now. What to his comments really did
was kind of shift the focus to are the players
doing enough? And again we all focus on McDaniel, but
at some point, the guy's got to go out and play.
And for Tua, a captain one of the team leaders,
to say our guys are not doing enough and it's
on the leadership to get them to do it. He
is one of the leaders, so in a way, he's
(20:28):
a little bit kind of calling himself out here and
putting the onus on these guys to say we need
to fix it.
Speaker 1 (20:35):
So here's what we're going to see in Miami.
Speaker 11 (20:37):
We're going to see them fix it either by a
series of players only meetings where players show up on
time and work or just fix it and play better,
or they are going to not. And if the answer
is not, then it's going to be drastically bad for
probably everyone in Miami. But we are going to see
because rarely does the team get called out by their
quarterback for all to see and then for all of.
Speaker 1 (20:59):
Us to discuss.
Speaker 2 (21:00):
And I saw some fans online, Chargers fans saying that
even when they're guy throws for three hundred plus and
three touchdowns in a game and they lose, he still
puts the loss on him. So it's just a way
to handle whatever you want to say or answer, go ahead, Yeah,
I just.
Speaker 11 (21:15):
I think about this a lot, right because you do
hear starting quarterbacks or leaders or coaches say that's on me,
that's in me, and I get it, and that's sort
of the selfless thing to do. But sometimes it's not.
And so there's different kinds of leadership. But we're going
to find out. We are going to find out by
how the Dolphins played the next several games.
Speaker 1 (21:33):
Did they take to this leadership.
Speaker 11 (21:35):
Did they say I don't like to get called out
and I'm going to change it, or again do they not?
It's that's going to be really fast.
Speaker 2 (21:41):
Kind of a cool, young way to do it. I guess.
We saw Kim Wore talking about the Titans recently. We
will see how this pans out for all these young
guys coming up on our show. Drake May speaking of
a young quarterback and the Patriots are rolling. Do they
have a postseason birth in Mike Rabel's first year as
a head coach in New England? Kyle Man, that's a question.
Speaker 1 (22:00):
It is, and we got some answers to the question
of who are.
Speaker 4 (22:03):
You giving your game?
Speaker 1 (22:04):
We always put our own spin on it. It's not
always the biggest player, the most famous player. Sometimes it's
a role player. Sometimes it's a superstar. Game Ball is
coming up after this, Don't go anywhere.
Speaker 12 (22:28):
Well, I think it starts with the leadership in helping
articulate that for the guys, and then what we're expecting
out of the guys. Right, we're expecting this, Are we
getting that? Are we not getting that? We have guys
showing up to only player only meetings late, guys not
showing up to player only meeting, Like, there's a lot
that goes into that.
Speaker 4 (22:48):
Do we have to make this mandatory? Do we not
have to make this mandatory?
Speaker 12 (22:52):
So so it's it's a lot of it's a lot
of things of that nature that we got to get
cleaned up. And it starts with the little things like that.
Speaker 4 (23:02):
To be clears.
Speaker 11 (23:03):
You're saying's a player's worldform miss late.
Speaker 4 (23:06):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (23:07):
The twenty twenty five Miami Dolphins are one in five
at this point in the NFL season. That's their quarterback
to a Tongue of Viloa after yet another loss, this
time at home to the Chargers, explaining perhaps what is
going on with some of the players in locker room
and how they need to be held accountable differently, Kyle Brandt,
we just heard from me and Rapaport about this and
how he believes that Tua could be including himself in
(23:30):
that leadership and that we need to have a different standard.
What do you make of this when you hear the
quarterback and see the product.
Speaker 4 (23:36):
On the field.
Speaker 1 (23:37):
These meetings, Jamie, where everyone just kind of talks and
no one's really paying attention. You're doing them just to
do them. But enough about television production meetings. Let's talk
about the Dolphins team meetings. Listen, Tua made several bad
reads on the field yesterday, and then I thought made
a bad read here to come immediately after another loss.
And the whole thing he said was a lot of
(23:58):
they and them and not a lot of me and I.
It's hard enough for me to come out after you
throw three interceptions and say, well, it's because you know,
the guys aren't coming to the meetings on time. Well,
if they're not coming to the meetings on time, then
they don't respect the coach, they don't respect you, and
I probably they probably do it less now. I don't
(24:19):
know how you walk back into the locker room after
doing that when you played the way you did and
then said, yeah, but guys aren't on time to meetings.
I just too has a lot of things going for him,
and I like him as a person. I don't think
he has a great sense of timing with the media
and tone with the media because this thing was off.
I know a lot of X players on Twitter I
saw that were like, oh, why would you do that?
(24:39):
Where are you going saying that it's just not a
good time right now? That SoundBite alone could end to
the end, to lead to the end of Mike McDaniel,
It could eventually lead to the end of Tua and
it's just all encompassing in a terrible season. I thought
that was a really, really bad SoundBite and bad timing
on a day when he had a lot of that.
Speaker 4 (24:58):
Yeah.
Speaker 8 (24:58):
God, I watched a lot of Dave Schappelle back in
the day, and this is a classic case of when keeping.
Speaker 4 (25:04):
It real goes wrong.
Speaker 8 (25:06):
This is you just can't do this, regardless of how
I hear you saying about how you played, regardless of
how you played. You have a responsibility as a quarterback
to always protect the team, to always represent the team.
Speaker 4 (25:21):
You have to bear the weight.
Speaker 8 (25:23):
That's what the paycheck says, bear the weight of the team.
Even when things are not going good. You have to
at least be put pc forward facing and you handle
your mess in the back. When you do what you did,
you were literally welcoming in the media and everybody else
on the outside to go that's a free warrant to
go search your house. Now everybody's in the house looking
(25:44):
for you, looking for something. They're looking for evidence, and
now it's a process of elimination. Who was late, who
didn't show up, Who's doing this who? It's negativity. There
is nothing that was going to be productive that came
from him standing at that podium talking to people respectfully
that have nothing to do with the inside housekeeping.
Speaker 4 (26:02):
You just walcome everybody in your house, and now you
got to clean up a mess.
Speaker 1 (26:06):
Everybody knows to a brother or mine.
Speaker 7 (26:08):
Yeah, I do know him personally, and I know him
well enough to know that Jamie and I have mentioned
this a few times this year. I see a different tool.
He's a more combative tool, a more tool. Has always
been somebody who's reserved, and he does take the high
road every single time. This year, I see a tool
(26:31):
that is like, Okay, you want me to be the
bad man, I'll be the bad man. I am not
excusing him of the comments that he made about his teammates.
I'm not excusing his decisions of what he said after
a game where he didn't play his best game. I
don't know why he would say that. Isaiah brought up
a great point as to this being an invitation for
(26:54):
people on the outside now has an exclusive look of
what's going on in the locker room. Was that tool's
objective was that what he was trying to do. I
don't know what it's like in Miami. I don't know
what that dynamic is like. I don't know how many meetings,
player meetings, coaches to player meetings they've been having. I
don't know if certain players have been barking up a tree.
(27:15):
That's just not responding the way they want to respond.
And somebody took their liberties of standing in front of
the media and said, hey, listen, I've done everything, I
exhausted everything, come in regardless. That is just not something
that as a representative of the fraternity that is the
National Football League, that we do.
Speaker 1 (27:33):
I love my brother again, I don't excuse that. As
a leader.
Speaker 7 (27:38):
Myself, I would never go up there and say, listen.
Speaker 1 (27:41):
Jamie's late. She never shows up, she never shows up
to the production.
Speaker 4 (27:44):
Meeting, KAB.
Speaker 7 (27:45):
I would never do that, even though we don't do that.
It's just as a leader of a group of people,
I would want to represent them the best way. And
I don't think my brother did it the best way
he could. So thank well you made it hard for
me this morning.
Speaker 4 (27:57):
Brother. That's what I say.
Speaker 1 (27:58):
It's media man, great job man. I feel you, bro,
I feel you.
Speaker 2 (28:03):
We'll watch this centful. The Dolphins have to travel to
Cleveland next week and they'll have another road game against
the Falcons a week after that game ball segment on GMFB,
we have four two hand out, my brother Mantai, you
are up first, my friends, four.
Speaker 4 (28:17):
To hand out that I could have given this.
Speaker 1 (28:20):
I got a James awkward, so awkward. Take the ball away, James.
Speaker 7 (28:24):
That's exactly what the Broncos defense did yesterday.
Speaker 1 (28:27):
My game ball goes to.
Speaker 7 (28:28):
The Broncos defense, specifically that defensive line. They had twenty
one sacks coming into this week. They had nine sacks
yesterday and they held the Jets offense to eighty two
yards total. That's the most sacks by a Denver defense
six week one in nineteen ninety six. In nineteen ninety six,
guess who it was against, Guys, the Jets. Every time
the Broncos played the Jets, they seem to get a
(28:49):
lot of sex. So I got my game ball, guys,
goes to that Jets front. I got to witness it
first hand yesterday morning.
Speaker 4 (28:56):
What a great showing by them.
Speaker 8 (28:58):
I see what you did there all right, now, listen,
my game ball has to go to somebody who won
we could go had two hundred yards rushing, and it
told his former team that paid his replacement the same
amount that he's getting paid. Buckle up, butter Cup, because
I'm coming to town. Listen up, Rico.
Speaker 4 (29:17):
Rico now as getting my game ball.
Speaker 8 (29:19):
One hundred and eighty three yards on the ground back
to back games, two hundred and thirty all purpose yards.
He put the Cowboys on notice, told him what he
was gonna do, and then follow through. It is not
the easiest thing to do in this league with professional
players that are grown man to go out there and
tell them that you're gonna bust them in their face
and didn't go out there and actually execute it. Shout
out to Rico, o'donald, you deserve his game ball.
Speaker 2 (29:41):
It's been a really unfortunate morning talking about all these
injuries that we have to keep up with, and Tampa
Bay is not alone, and that their wide receivers are
down and out, but their quarterback is playing out of
his mind. He had to go to like a fifth
string wide receiver. Yesterday in Tes Johnson test, Johnson gets
my game ball, everybody not Baker. This was the one
catch Tess Johnson had yesterday. For forty five yards. Now,
(30:02):
this name may sound familiar to you. Tess Johnson is
the adopted brother of Bo Nicks, the current Denver Broncos quarterback.
The Knicks family took Tes Johnson in after he suffered
unreasonable heartbreak as a child and in Birmingham, Alabama. They
both went to Penson Valley High School. Tes Johnson moved
in with the Knicks family. They go to Oregon together.
It's a wonderful story. So Test Johnson knows a thing
(30:24):
or two about getting along with quarterbacks and making sure
he makes himself available. He also has a great spot
saying I'm Tes Johnson, I'm a little guy that dreams big.
His teammates called tz Manian devil with the flip. However,
one catch for forty five yards, mister Test Johnson does
not make you a qualifier for the league's MVP. There
was a little clarification about this in the locker room yesterday.
Speaker 4 (30:45):
I'm gonna tell you a funny story. This is crazy.
Speaker 10 (30:47):
When I score and I hit MVP champ, I'm thinking
they talking about me.
Speaker 4 (30:53):
So I asked SHEP.
Speaker 10 (30:54):
I'm like, SHP, they was chaying MVP and he was like, yeah,
I was like, I ain't do nothing this year, and
he was like they talking about Baker Test and.
Speaker 2 (31:01):
I was like, I was like, well, and I want
that clip played at NFL Honors. If Baker is walking
across to the stage, that is fantastic. Tes Johnson, heck
of a story, heck of a single catch, and you
know what, you're the MVP for this segment.
Speaker 1 (31:16):
Buddy Banks. Definitely, that would have been like last year
when Josh Allen wanted if, like Keon Coleman, thought they
were chanting MVP for him. It's like, come on, dude,
you're a good ben player. He made a great play. Also,
Baker joked that Test is one hundred and forty two
pounds and that's why he can do backflips. He's actually
one hundred and sixty five, so let's give him full credit.
One sixty five in the NFL is pretty amazing that
(31:36):
you're out there making plays. But I'm also going to
go to a wide receiver and I'm very excited to
say his name. My game ball, My game ball goes
to Kayshawn Booty. Bring it up two touchdowns for New England.
Kayshawn Booty is a weapon. He's in the Dome. Drake
May had a great day yesterday, and often it was
when throwing to Kayshawn Booty. I'm going to keep saying
(31:58):
Kayshawn Booty because it's fun to watch the Patriots games
and watch the year and listen to the announcers either
apple or snicker about saying his name. I also want
to say that some people have seemed to think that
it's Kashawan Butte or boot It's full on booty, guys.
It's like booty call, like shake your booty. I have
(32:18):
heard him say it. I have video of Kaishan Booty
saying his name. It's just booty b o O t y.
It could be spelled that way. And so that leads
to all kinds of things where Ian Eagle Ear is
like in there grabbing Booty, or if there's a pass interference,
he gets the booty call. It's all wonderful, it's all fun.
But just for the record, everybody stop trying to dress
this thing up.
Speaker 4 (32:38):
Just own it.
Speaker 1 (32:39):
It's booty.
Speaker 4 (32:41):
That's it.
Speaker 1 (32:41):
And in this case he gets my call. Kaishan Booty,
great name, but also excellent player for an excellent Patriots team.
My game ball one more time goes to who guys
Kashawan Booty. I was confused a little.
Speaker 7 (32:53):
Bit for a little bit KB, because I wasn't sure
if you were giving him.
Speaker 4 (32:56):
The game ball for a stats or the name.
Speaker 7 (32:58):
We're going to talk about the name but also incorporated
the stats.
Speaker 1 (33:01):
So I like, I'm confused, Like you're calling him KB
because he's another KB, but we should just always call
him boy. In fact, I think his nickname is is
Kaishan the call booty Like he's just known.
Speaker 2 (33:12):
As the call now And I like that, ACU, that's
a great nickname. I thought we were just making another
Varsity Blues reference. Doesn't that sound like a Varsity News character.
All we have to ask for is for Ryan Eagle
to stick the landing on saying Kaishon Booty's name correctly,
just like Tedes Johnson's like you want me to flip?
You want me too? Oh, well done, Tedes Johnson All
wide Receivers. That was our game ball segment on Jeanemusree.
Speaker 1 (33:44):
Each week.
Speaker 7 (33:45):
At this time I had on my defensive Pro Player
of the Week. Today, we're headed to Baltimore, where the
Rams linebacker Nate Landman was everywhere. Landman was callsing problems
for the Ravens offense all day long. He finished the
game with seventeen total tackles. WHOA, it was the most
My Rams player since two thousand. Landman was a true
(34:06):
game wrecker on Sunday. For all these reasons, My Pro
Defensive Player of the Week Go So Nate Landman of
the La Rams. Analyze a game like a Pro with

Speaker 1 (34:24):

Speaker 4 (34:26):
Wet Now.
Speaker 1 (34:27):
Landman was causing chaos on the field.
Speaker 4 (34:29):
But there's some chaos.
Speaker 7 (34:30):
You're going to be talking about Sherry burrs that happened
in London.
Speaker 4 (34:33):
What is it?
Speaker 13 (34:33):
Yeah, Well, the Rams are going to London this weekend
and that's where the Jets just finished playing and they're
still winless on the season after their loss to the Broncos.
Intensions are running high, maybe even boiling over at the
end of the first half. Watch this down ten thick
to the end of the second quarter.
Speaker 2 (34:50):
The Jets went.
Speaker 13 (34:51):
Forward on four down to pick up the first with
about a minute to play, but facing yet another fourth
and one. You see Aaron Glenn head coach, they're deciding
to let the clock run out, which did not sit
well with Garrett Wilson. He had some words for glenn'
se him getting in his ear right there. Well, Wilson
talked about this after the game.
Speaker 10 (35:11):
I just didn't know exactly what the plan was, and
once I figured it out, you know, I was disappointed.
And I'll just say that, so, yeah, is.
Speaker 4 (35:21):
That what you mean.
Speaker 1 (35:22):
Yeah, I didn't know exactly like what the plan was.
Speaker 10 (35:25):
I just I just thought we were once we you know,
converted the fourth down, I just thought we were going
for the you know, trying to make the play and
then obviously we get to another fourth down and it's
a tough spot to be in. So, you know, in hindsight,
I get why they did that, but in the moment,
I was just like.
Speaker 13 (35:41):
Man, I don't know, there's a lot to unpack there.
Clearly he thought they should have run the play, maybe Kyle,
there even was a chance for a hail Mary. It
was an interesting play call, in interesting in the fact
that Wilson would even get in coach coach's.
Speaker 4 (35:55):
Ear like that.
Speaker 1 (35:56):
Yeah, They're an interesting team. I'm gonna say it with
my chest. I like watching this Jets team. I know
no one else does.
Speaker 4 (36:03):
Maybe, but let's if you've.
Speaker 1 (36:05):
Watched a lot of football, and if you're watching the show,
you probably have. I just like to see things I've
never seen before. It's fun, it's interesting. I have never
seen a sequence like at the end of the first
half of the Jets in which they fake a punts
to extend the drive and then twenty seconds later they're
just like, nah, never mind, let's just go to halftime,
and the wide receiver is screaming at the head coach.
Speaker 4 (36:24):
I've never seen that.
Speaker 1 (36:25):
I've also never seen our colleague Kurt Warner, who knows
everything about football and is on the call, tweeting in
the middle of the broadcast at halftime about what the
heck was that last sequence. I've never seen that before.
I've never seen after the game when a reporter asks
if to Aaron Glenn if Justin Fields is still the quarterback,
and he goes, now, what kind of question is that?
(36:47):
I think A good one? Coach, did you just watch
the game? It was historically bad passing. Why wouldn't I
ask that question? So even at halftime and after the
game when the Jets aren't playing, they're still interesting. The
defense was very good yesterday. That's solid football, but the
team is so weird.
Speaker 4 (37:04):
Go off the wall.
Speaker 1 (37:05):
I'm already excited for Jets Panthers, by the way, a
game in which the Jets our favorite. I'm just reading
that's even interesting. So Jets last winless team, I don't care.
I like them, I'm into them.
Speaker 7 (37:17):
What I'd like to know is when Garrett Wilson said,
I didn't know the plan, but when I found out
the plan, I was disappointed. I would like to know
what that plan was because I didn't think of any
other situation where you just great question, you just go
run the play like it's like the Herm Edwards quote,
you play to win the game. It was one of
those situations, like, well, what was the plan? Because I
(37:38):
would love to know.
Speaker 4 (37:39):
I don't know that the Jets have a plan offensively
right now.
Speaker 8 (37:42):
Whatever the plan is is bad, so go ahead and
etch and sketch it, shake it up, and draw up
something new because it's not.
Speaker 4 (37:47):
Working for you. Sketch it.
Speaker 2 (37:48):
So like your quarterbacks number one option in a situation
like that, should know the plan before hand.
Speaker 4 (37:53):
Doesn't that feel like that should you.
Speaker 13 (37:55):
Would think, but they do have that whole long flight
coming back from London. Yeah, you can sort of sort
that out on the flight, if they so choose. I'll
discuss there. He gets entertained all time.
Speaker 4 (38:06):
Thanks for the content, appreciate it.
Speaker 2 (38:09):
There's no way the following plays happen. We still have
some moments we have to review to wrap up our
show on GMFB on a Monday, Manti Europe first. There's
no way.
Speaker 7 (38:17):
There's no way, but there is a way with Tyke
Smith for the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. I know if you
guys saw this, but there was a turnover last night
where the San Francisco fort nine ers turned over the
ball and then Tyke Smith, who's.
Speaker 1 (38:29):
Five to ten, two hundred pounds, runs to the biggest
San Francisco fort nin er two block them. So he's
blocking them and then Trent tries to throw him, he
tries to him, tops him. I think Tykey won this one, guys.
Speaker 4 (38:39):
I think he won.
Speaker 7 (38:40):
And wrestling or judo or whatever it is, I think
Tyke would have won this matchup and I love it.
I love it because as a defender, you know you
know this Isaiah when there's an interception. You're very calculated
at who you block. Tyke said, I don't care about anybody.
I'm going for the biggest, the baddest dude on the
other team, and I'm gonna win.
Speaker 4 (38:56):
Shout out to Tyke.
Speaker 8 (38:57):
Tykey wanted to smoke, But you know who else wanted
to smoke. Dylan Gabriel wanted to smoke somehow, some way.
He got so frustrated that he decided to try to
pick a fight with Pat.
Speaker 1 (39:08):
This right here, and you're gonna see it.
Speaker 4 (39:10):
You know, you gotta go back to the close up. Kay,
that the past. But he actually got hit on his watch.
His boom takes a shot, came here, I'm gonna get
all right. I'm not all right. I'm not nothing going
on here.
Speaker 8 (39:20):
Nothing going on here, nothing to see at all.
Speaker 1 (39:23):
What were you thinking, bro, You were not going to
win that fight.
Speaker 4 (39:27):
There ain't no way you thought that was a good idea.
Speaker 2 (39:29):
This is all great for guys that are actively playing
in the game. There is no way moment from Sunday
comes from a man who started two hundred and forty
four career games at quarterback. He's an NFL MVP, But man,
that one hour of a pregame show. Hits different if
you're Matt Ryan, check it out.
Speaker 8 (39:46):
I started down at that end of the table, right,
you're cramping up. Hey, you know what.
Speaker 1 (39:52):
Tramping up around?
Speaker 4 (39:53):
Got it? Train training up? Get him.
Speaker 1 (39:58):
Right? Bro? Goodness anyway, Wow, you get some attention from trainer.
Speaker 4 (40:05):
Let me pick up.
Speaker 1 (40:07):
I don't know what the point is. We got older players,
we gotta have rotations.
Speaker 4 (40:12):
Got listen to su.
Speaker 1 (40:17):
Get your old has back on the table. Listen, how
are you scramping out? And you're not even doing anything?
Speaker 4 (40:22):
Coffee? Too much coffee?
Speaker 1 (40:24):
As I started down at that, Yeah, you're.
Speaker 2 (40:26):
Already behind Matt. He's grabbing the bottle of water to
try to rehydrate. It's like, dude, the damage is done.
KB and Npurlson just being like, yo, get back up here, man,
you got.
Speaker 4 (40:36):
To do a show.
Speaker 1 (40:37):
Yeah, well Nate said something like that, and it's and
it's you former players. Man, you guys get all these
bumps and bruises. I love you so much. You're sitting
there just fully cramping up at the table. I've never
had that in my whole career, you know. Differently relatability, No,
not while I'm sitting here.
Speaker 4 (40:52):
I mean not not the desk.
Speaker 1 (40:53):
I have everything else but relatability. We talked a lot
of you know, I'm coaching these fifth and sixth grade
kids right now. This happens to me ten times of
practice and ten times a game. Watch Charlie Cohler the
Baltimore Ravens as he sees Derrick Henry's got an equipment issue.
Speaker 4 (41:10):
Watched this.
Speaker 1 (41:10):
Derek Henry on the far left, his shoes untied, and
Charlie's like, oh no, no, no, no, no, come here, come.
He gets down on his damn knee and takes his
glove off to tie Dereck Henry's shoe. I cannot tell
you how much I relate to that, especially as a coach.
If it's like your star running back or something and
he doesn't have a shoe tied, I will sprint onto
the field. Plus they're always coming up to you, coach,
(41:32):
can you button my chin strap? Coach?
Speaker 4 (41:33):
Can you do this?
Speaker 1 (41:34):
And you're like get over here, get over and you snapping,
get back in there. So I relate to Charlie Coler.
He's like, oh my god, Derek shoes untied. He full
on dope, get that thing and put the bunny in
