Good Morning Football is the production of the NFL in
partnership with iHeartRadio.

Speaker 2 (00:10):
Good Morning Football.

Speaker 3 (00:11):
Everybody on a Tuesday, Jamie Arnold, Mansito, Isaiah Standback, Professor
Isaiah Standback indeed in Los Angeles, Kyle Brandt in New
York City. We're bringing the knowledge, We're bringing training camp.

Speaker 2 (00:23):
It's all over the place.

Speaker 3 (00:23):
Kyle, what do you want to get into for the
next hour on GMSB.

Speaker 1 (00:27):
I'm truly excited to see what the reaction is to
our Hall of Fame draft.

Speaker 4 (00:31):
Yeah, that's ago last hour.

Speaker 1 (00:32):
We drafted Hall of famers purely from the talent pool
in Canton, and.

Speaker 5 (00:36):
We all had huge rocksters.

Speaker 1 (00:38):
I don't know who's going to be doing the victory
lap because they're all great.

Speaker 4 (00:40):
But until then, we'll.

Speaker 5 (00:41):
Talk some football.

Speaker 1 (00:42):
Let us know online what you think of our Hall
of Fame drafts and why I won. Let's start the show.

Speaker 4 (01:02):
Good Morning Football.

Speaker 3 (01:04):
Yeah, that's right, it's Good Morning Football.

Speaker 6 (01:06):
What's going on?

Speaker 3 (01:06):
Everybody on a Tuesday. It has a different juice this week,
doesn't it. Mantai, Kyle, Isaiah and screaming camp juice. Isaiah,
You're in California this week, not just to visit us,
But what else are you getting into.

Speaker 2 (01:17):
I'm over there in Oxnard, man, and the Dallas Cowboys
just happened to be there. There's a lot going on.
Unfortunately they have some injuries yesterday, but they have a
lot of stuff going on with Michael Pars's, Jerry Jones,
Charles Hey, everybody and their mama's out there, so you
know it's good to be there. I have the report
on not report, but I'm doing a color commentary for
their preseasons all three games, so after night players, names, numbers, backgrounds,

(01:37):
a lot of homework to do, Kyle.

Speaker 3 (01:39):
That just means we're going to go sop full on
the old preseason Cowboys highlight, just so we can hear
stand back during the broadcast.

Speaker 5 (01:45):
We will do it.

Speaker 1 (01:46):
And I just imagine everybody's asking the same question Isaiah, like, oh,
you're doing a good morning football show man, what time
you got to wake up for that? So if you
wake up at that time, what time you have to
go to bed? Then did you go to bed before
the kid? Like all those questions all over it. But
I love that you are a warrior who is doing
that all the way in Oxnard, which is not down
the street and right back there and then going pretty cool.

Speaker 3 (02:06):
Absolutely all right, So with that, let's trust trying to
make this segment easy on Isaiah since he's just all
over the place. Three topics, answer quickly, you make your case.
Oh no, where'd I go?

Speaker 2 (02:15):
Three and out?

Speaker 4 (02:16):
First down.

Speaker 2 (02:17):
Josh Jacobs had.

Speaker 3 (02:18):
A spectacular first year with the Packers last season after
spending time in Las Vegas. Of course, a Green Bay's
Pro Bowl running back accounted for a little over sixteen
hundred scrimmag yards, and he told Lewis and Mark Ross
that he is excited about the possibilities for Jordan Love
and their offense this season.

Speaker 7 (02:35):
We can really do whatever we want. Man, we have
we have so many weapons, like we have to get
you know, some of these guys the ball, and I
mean that makes it a lot easier for me instead of,
you know, having four yard games end up being six
to eight yard games, you know. So for me, man,
I'm with whatever it is. Just as long as we
win and we rolled in, I'm with it.

Speaker 3 (02:55):
I'm with it exactly, all right. That's we're talking Aaron
Rodgers replacement, the guy that at times felt uncomfortable when
the Packers went and got the former first round pick
in Joy and Love and now has been the starter
since twenty twenty three. He's got one playoff win in
the left Sorry, Isaiah, let's go with one word, one
word that defines Jordan Love's career thus far and as

(03:16):
he heads into the twenty twenty five season. Isaiah, you
go first, one word.

Speaker 2 (03:21):
I'm gonna go with EH eight eight. We don't have
the white boards, so y'all don't have to worry about
the official spelling. But I'm kind of underwhelmed at this
point as nothing high, as nothing low, as kind of boring,
which is good at times for some quarterbacks. I think that,
you know, obviously, his first couple of years, he didn't

(03:42):
do much, and I think that he's kind of been
consistent over the past two years, but I don't think
that he's done enough to necessarily take his team over
the hump. When you think about the Green Bay Packers,
you don't really think about an identity that they have.
You don't really think about Jordan Love as taken over
the game. You think about him as a good quarterback.
But I want to see the dominant version of him

(04:03):
really step into the forward and I want to see
him take that next leap and take over the game.
Right now, I feel like he's just still kind of
sitting back and I don't know if he's identified himself
as the guy.

Speaker 5 (04:13):
Yeah, well my words start.

Speaker 8 (04:15):
I guess if you spell it out, it's with the
same letter E. But it's emerging. It's not emerged, it's emerging.
And I think if you want to have the best
of Jordan Love, you need to make sure that that
running back, Josh Jacobs, he starts getting going like you
want to be able to feed this man when he
is coming down the hill and he's doing all the
necessary things to get extra yards. You want to make

(04:35):
sure you keep feeding him. That's the best way to
open up this play. That the playabilities of Jordan Love.
If you think about Isaiah you know this as a
former quarterback, that.

Speaker 5 (04:44):
Guy can spin it. Guys, you can throw.

Speaker 8 (04:46):
It on his back foot, his front foot, running to
his right, to his left. That guy can spin the ball.
What he needs is somebody on the offensive side to
keep that defense accountable, and he has that is Josh Jacobs.
Just watch him just truck through a whole bunch of people.
I'm sure that he's going to be on the Anger
Run Scepter list this year Kyle Brant. But that's how

(05:06):
That's what I see in in Jordan Love is he's
an emerging quarterback that has some growth there.

Speaker 5 (05:12):
But I'm very excited to see what happens.

Speaker 1 (05:15):
I am too, and I'm very excited to anticipate reactions
of Green Bay Packers fans hearing Isaiah standback saying eh,
and do they point immediately to January fourteenth, twenty four
where they put forty eight points on the Cowboys in
Jerry world and Jordan Love was basically perfect. I mean, Isaiah,
that was a pretty profound statement for a guy in

(05:36):
his first playoff game.

Speaker 5 (05:37):
Wouldn't you say?

Speaker 2 (05:37):
No? He did? He did that. But I want to
see that performance all the time.

Speaker 3 (05:42):
And I think, Isaiah, you're.

Speaker 4 (05:42):
Saying we can't play the Cowboys all the time.

Speaker 6 (05:44):
That's all right.

Speaker 5 (05:47):
That was a bad day.

Speaker 2 (05:48):
I was there for that.

Speaker 5 (05:50):
What I'm saying he was walking to him today.

Speaker 4 (05:52):
I describe Jordan Love like this. It's a very loaded word.

Speaker 1 (05:56):
Jordan Love good good for all that is okay, he
has been good.

Speaker 4 (06:01):
I don't think he has been great.

Speaker 1 (06:04):
And when we talk about who are the best quarterbacks,
and we always do. No one's like now, hold on
a second, hold on Jordan Love. No, he's young, he's good,
but good's not good enough. Not only does he have
the misfortune of following up two first ballot.

Speaker 4 (06:18):
Hall of famers.

Speaker 6 (06:19):
We know the history.

Speaker 1 (06:20):
It's Farv Rogers Love Farv and Rodgers were not good.
This guy right now is good, and that's all right.
Maybe he'll become great, but if he doesn't, it's not enough.
The Green Bay Packers don't have good quarterbacks. They have
only unbelievably great quarterbacks. And in the NFC North this year,
good's not going to cut it either. So young, I'm
not stopping on his toes. This is a compliment, but

(06:41):
it's a loaded one. My word for Jordan Love is good.

Speaker 2 (06:43):
M agree.

Speaker 3 (06:45):
Okay, let's move on to second down. I was gonna
make some joke about how like this is a very
that was a very easy question for like a husband,
like how is your day?

Speaker 5 (06:53):
And good?

Speaker 3 (06:56):
He's good emerging emerging? All right, second down, We're gonna
go with a team down the street. The la Rams
and Sean McVay, who in speaking during training camp, sat
down with Maurice Jon Strew and our Chris Rose to
give an update on his quarterback, Matthew Stafford sore back.

Speaker 2 (07:14):
We're going to be week to week with him, though.

Speaker 9 (07:16):
I think when you look at it, the end goal
is September seventh, you know, when we open up against
the Texans. He's going into year seventeen. We were going
to take a modified approach. Had some soreness in his back.
You know, when you really look at it, he feels
really good about a plan. Reggie Scott, doctor Watkins, you
know what's going to be the best plan of attack
for the longevity of the season. And rushing him back

(07:37):
where you could potentially have an unnecessary setback, you know,
that just doesn't make sense. And we are fortunate to
have the luxury of a player like him that you
don't minimize the importance of practice. But this is the
best thing for him and for a football team. And
in the meantime, you know, Jimmy Garoppolo and Stetsan Bennett
are getting invaluable reps that they wouldn't get otherwise.

Speaker 3 (07:56):
The Rams had a wild end to twenty twenty four.
They had to move a home playoff game to Arizona.
They went to Philadelphia. They took care of business. But
how do the NFC West champions pick up where they
left off laft season, Isaiah, considering that their quarterback is
week to week in training camp.

Speaker 2 (08:12):
Yeah, I mean their quarterback is are going. Hopefully when
he gets back on the field, you know, he continues
to do the things we all known him to be
able to do and get back to trying to win
a Super Bowl. But in order for them to be
in that conversation, they have to establish some form of
a consistent running game. And I say that because not
because of the talent, but because of their splash plays
on offense. They don't have sustained drives offensively because they

(08:33):
don't have the running game to support it. These guys
are at the bottom of the league in terms of
average plays per drive. Right, That means they're having splash plays,
but they're not keeping guys on the field, keeping defenses
on the field. So then in regards that means that
they're having shootouts. You don't want to have a shootout,
you want to have ten play twelve play drives. They're
averaging like five and a half plays per drive five
point eight I believe it is fifteen touchdowns last year

(08:54):
fourteen of them were from the nineteen yard line. In
they don't have enough big splash plays from their running
back position. So I think that they really need to
focus on creating a sustainable running game that will the
pressure from Stafford and then will also keep defenses at
bay and it allow their defense to get some rests.

Speaker 5 (09:12):
I like that.

Speaker 8 (09:13):
I like that, and something that I also like. I
love doing mma training, Like that's something that I've always
trained four through on my career, especially Muay Thai and
my coach Rich Power, he would tell me, you know
that long, heavy bag, It's like, don't hit the bottom
of that bag.

Speaker 5 (09:26):
Just hit the middle. It's softer.

Speaker 8 (09:28):
Hit that a few times, a few hundred times, and
as you build that, callus now you can start hitting
the bottom of that bag, because if you come swinging
out the gate and hit that bottom of the bag,
you might break your leg. The reason why I make
that analogy is this, the Rams need to stay healthy.

Speaker 5 (09:41):
That's number one.

Speaker 8 (09:42):
Last year, going into the first game of the season,
they lost four of their sixth linemen in the first
half of the first game. Pooka the Cool was out
the first game he went on. Ir Cooper Cup was
out Week three, he went on IR and I know
that Sean McVay loves to sit his players during preseason.

Speaker 5 (09:59):
For me, there's a little bit of experience.

Speaker 8 (10:02):
A little bit of callus that you need to build
in the preseason so that when the season comes, you
can hit that bottom of that heavy bag and not
get hurt. You have to take those reps at the
middle of that bag where it's softer, so that when
the season starts and you want to go full swing
on that thing.

Speaker 5 (10:17):
That you're not going to get hurt.

Speaker 8 (10:18):
And so that's what I think the Rams need to
do to just continue because they.

Speaker 5 (10:21):
Made it right. Guys.

Speaker 2 (10:23):
They had a successful season last year.

Speaker 8 (10:24):
I think that it could be even more success successful
this year. But I hope that they start to build
that callus during training camp so that when the season comes.

Speaker 5 (10:32):
They can go full of full lake kicks on the NFL.

Speaker 1 (10:36):
Yeah, they'll be leg kicking everybody. They'll be fine all
the time. When you're trying to pick if the team
is going to be good in July or August, look
at the head coach, looking at quarterback guys, it's very
very simple. They have the best head coach in the league.
They have a top ten quarterback, and on the point
of the top ten quarterback, Matthew Stafford.

Speaker 4 (10:53):
Let's see, it's July twenty ninth. Back soreness.

Speaker 1 (10:58):
Come on, tell me that Matthew Stafford has not been
around the block a few times. It's done a few
training camp. I'm not calling him a liar, far from it.
I'm calling him smart. In fact, our guy Fitzi, Ryan Fitzpatrick,
when he saw this news said quote, such an old man,
crusty vet move. We'll all know he'll be ready when
the lights turn on. There's something in the NBA called

(11:19):
load management and all that. I'm not saying that Matthew
Stafford isn't actually having back issues. It's certain for certain issue,
certain age back always.

Speaker 5 (11:27):
Starts to hurt. I feel like it's going to be fine.

Speaker 1 (11:29):
In the opener, and if anybody sees any concern about
Matthew Stafford, I don't believe that's.

Speaker 5 (11:33):
Going to be a big problem moving forward. Let's put
it that way.

Speaker 3 (11:35):
I think by the time the regular season rolls around,
you just adjust that sleep number to the right setting
and then he should be good to go.

Speaker 2 (11:40):
Right.

Speaker 3 (11:40):
Yes, here we go, third down. I'm very excited for
this topic. Third down, Mike Rabol, the new head coach
in New England, not new to New England. No, made
it clear that trading in his clipboard whenever it be
time for a studio headset will never be.

Speaker 2 (11:55):
In his future.

Speaker 6 (11:58):
Mike, if you were in our shoes, what would you think?
You'd say? You know, you guys should really watch this.
You've been doing this for a long time, you know,
how mean if I was the part of the media. Yeah,
if you would, like say, you don't.

Speaker 5 (12:08):
Think there's ever a scenario where that would happen.

Speaker 4 (12:10):
Oh, that's absolutely a matter of time.

Speaker 6 (12:12):
You already did stuff with Felger fifteen years ago.

Speaker 1 (12:15):
As soon as I'm done with this, I'm gonna be
in the Witness Protection point and you won't.

Speaker 5 (12:19):
You will never find me.

Speaker 2 (12:22):
Chirst of all, whoever that was had it ready.

Speaker 3 (12:24):
He's like, well, I remember you were on with Felger,
you fifteen years ago?

Speaker 2 (12:28):
All right?

Speaker 3 (12:29):
He brings up a good topic. If Mike Rabel was
in the Witness Protection program, what would Mike Rabel's new
name be. Okay, you got to come up with it
and any other reasoning for why that should be it? Isaiah,
go ahead, Well, I'm going to go.

Speaker 2 (12:44):
To one of the best fake name slash id cards
ever created in the history at Everdom. When it comes
to movies. Fugel McLevin Buego McLevin would be Mike Rabel's
witness protection name. I think that would be his name.
He would go in there, he get a little drink.
You'd never see him again when the id would be
on point.

Speaker 5 (13:04):
I like that.

Speaker 8 (13:05):
I'm gonna stick on the movie reference. I like where
you're going. I got Christian Wolf. If you guys know,
Christian Wolf is so Christian Wolf is Ben Affleck in
the Accountant.

Speaker 5 (13:13):
You know that Christian Wolf.

Speaker 8 (13:16):
You try to find me, ain't gonna find a matter
of fact, his brother Braxton was trying to have this
conversation when they finally met, and he's like, man, when's
the next time I'm going to see you? And you
know what Christian said. He's like, no, I'll call you.
You ain't gonna find me. I'm just gonna hide out
in my van and I'm gonna.

Speaker 5 (13:30):
Do what I do. So I got Christian Wolf as
a name for Mike Brabel.

Speaker 1 (13:33):
Fantastic reference. It's a deep cut. I love the Accountant.
I did not see the accountant too, but it's on
my list if you want to disappear, And like, I
don't know if your Mike Rabel, just say my name's
I don't know Teddy Bruski. People basically think we're the
same person anyway. I mean, they're gonna get confused either way.
And if Teddy Brusky doesn't work, I can be Rob Ninkovich.

Speaker 4 (13:51):
It's all Ted Johnson. They're all just there.

Speaker 1 (13:53):
You can confuse which one is which and I'm gone.

Speaker 3 (13:56):
Kyle, do you believe him when he says that if
he were to put down the cliff for that, he
will never and I mean never. It was almost very
dad like of him enter the media space.

Speaker 2 (14:05):
Do you believe this for Rabel?

Speaker 1 (14:07):
Well, listen, the witness Protection program is all about living
a lie, right, and believe me, Mike, you're lying because
that call is gonna come in. Hey, Mike, it's such
and such Amazon Netflix.

Speaker 4 (14:17):
We'll pay you stupid money to.

Speaker 1 (14:20):
Come in on a first class private plane whatever and
sit down and talk about some nonsense at a desperate two minutes.

Speaker 4 (14:25):
Yes, you're gonna do.

Speaker 5 (14:26):
It, Mike.

Speaker 4 (14:27):
Course you're gonna do it.

Speaker 1 (14:28):
Everybody says they won't believe me, you will.

Speaker 5 (14:31):
That call is.

Speaker 4 (14:32):
Gonna be fat.

Speaker 3 (14:33):
Oh it's perfect, Gosh, I love that music. Saturday at
one pm Eastern, be sure to tune into NFL Network
for the twenty twenty five Pro Football Hall of Fame
enshrinement Ceremony. You're gonna see some of your favorites Jared Allen,
Antonio Gates, Sterling, Sharp, and Eric Allen all become immortalized

(14:55):
and join their new friends in Canton, Ohio. And for
more on that, we're going to welcome in one of
Eric Allen's former teammates, the co host of Golic and
Golic on FanDuel Sports work, our friend of the show, Michael.

Speaker 2 (15:06):
What's going on there?

Speaker 6 (15:08):
How would you?

Speaker 10 (15:09):
I'm certainly certainly looking forward to this weekend, even though
I'm a guy that has to pay full price to
get into the Hall of Fame.

Speaker 3 (15:17):
Not even a discount when you're a teammates that's I.

Speaker 10 (15:20):
Have to pull out the old NFL p A card.
I think you get a discount right.

Speaker 2 (15:24):
At Costco Gulick.

Speaker 3 (15:27):
Awesome to see you your teammates with Eric obviously we
just mentioned not just in Philly, but you were all
also analysts together at ESPN. You had a favorite memory
of your friend, whether it be up in the booth,
on the field, or on the road.

Speaker 10 (15:38):
I mean just really on the field, especially with that
that defense obviously probably one of the one of the
big games, the House of Paying game when we played
the Oilers in Houston.

Speaker 6 (15:49):
And uh and and he he had some pretty big
hits in that game.

Speaker 10 (15:53):
He as knowing obviously for his interceptions his returns, but
he was he would.

Speaker 6 (15:57):
Stick you as well.

Speaker 10 (15:58):
I think that's the one thing about e A Uh
that that that people hadn't associated with him as far
as you know, the the finesse of interceptions, return for touchdowns,
but he would stick you and and and that was
a Buddy Ryan defense.

Speaker 6 (16:10):
Everybody had to be a hitter or you weren't playing
on that defense.

Speaker 8 (16:14):
Mike, I want you to give these young'ins out here
a kind of reference to how Eric played this game.
Is there is there somebody today that kind of resembles
a little bit of how he played.

Speaker 10 (16:25):
Well, you're talking about you know, a really a cover
corner guy that would get up in your face. A
Buddy Ryan defense really put a heavy pressure on the corners.
I don't know if there's I don't know if there's
defenses today that put as much pressure on the corners,
because Buddy was attacked all the time, so the pressure
on the corners was great. But normally with you know,

(16:46):
Clyde Simmons and Reggie White and your own Brown up
up front, usually got pretty quick pressure on the quarterback,
so they maybe didn't have to cover that long, but
certainly at times they did. And then Bud Carson took
over the defense and still had pressure on the corners,
but took a little bit off. But really he would be,
you know, a player today would be a cover corner,
a very tight, up in your face type of corner.

Speaker 1 (17:10):
Mike, I love that you're on the show. It's just
listening to your voice. I had so many years on
the radio. I feel like I'm in my car driving
to work. It's such a familiar presence. I love that
you're here, and I loved how good you are at
telling stories. We did an earlier in the show, Mike,
we did a draft of all the existing Hall of Famers,
and we filled out a roster of Hall of Famers.
The first defensive player taking was Lawrence Taylor, but I

(17:31):
took Reggie with the second defensive player, and I felt
great about it. You had played in the pros already,
you had played at Notre Dame. When you show up
and first encounter Reggie White, when did you know like,
oh my god, this person's different right away?

Speaker 6 (17:46):
I mean just his size.

Speaker 10 (17:48):
You know, it's six six, three hundred and fifteen pounds.
I watched him run a four six forty at that size.
He was you know, normally, normally when you are a
strong player weightlifting wise, maybe you don't ast as great
a leverage on the field. But he was usually the
strong bencher. He benched, he squatted, and he power cleaned.
That was basically it. And he was the strongest player

(18:10):
on the team. And oh, by the way, the quickest,
maybe saved for the first step of your own. Brown
might have been a little quicker, and he could line
up anywhere down the line near that forty six defense.
He would line up over the center. But just just
his sheer size and quickness. And he was such a
great guy too.

Speaker 5 (18:26):
Was he was a.

Speaker 10 (18:26):
Better human being than a player.

Speaker 6 (18:29):
Cost me a lot of sacks.

Speaker 10 (18:30):
I had eleven and a half sacks over nine years,
which I think was consistent.

Speaker 6 (18:34):
People think that's bad.

Speaker 10 (18:35):
I would just get there a step or two late
because Reggie wanted to hog all the sacks.

Speaker 2 (18:40):
So you have an accumulation of half sacks. I'll see what
you're saying exactly.

Speaker 6 (18:44):
And helping my defender up after you go.

Speaker 5 (18:48):
Oh, listen, man.

Speaker 2 (18:50):
The Philadelphia Eagles are flying high, although their fan bases
obviously hype about them coming up the Super Bowl. You've
covered his game for a very long time. What could
potentially prevent them from repeating in twenty twenty five for
the Super Bowl again?

Speaker 10 (19:02):
Well, I mean the first thing you each and we
all sit here and prognosticate before the season on what
a team should do. But what's one thing we can't
see in the future, and that's injuries.

Speaker 6 (19:12):
You know, do you get somebody nicked up?

Speaker 10 (19:13):
There's always a couple of mash units every year that
kind of prevent them. Forty nine ers were certainly one
of them last year, looking to rebound from that, so
that could hold them up. Maybe the ascension Jaden Daniels,
does he even have a better sophomore year than they
had a rookie year? Do they take another step? Who
will step up in the NFC?

Speaker 2 (19:35):
You know?

Speaker 6 (19:35):
Is it Green Bay?

Speaker 10 (19:36):
Is it Green Bay because Detroit lost both their coordinators
and some players, or is it Detroit trying to finish
the deal.

Speaker 6 (19:43):
That's the thing about it. That's why it's so.

Speaker 10 (19:45):
Difficult to get repeat champions because somebody either injury costs
you the season or some team starts to play better.
But they go in as a favorite, and they should.
Their offense is fantastic. The offensive line has been one
of the most dominant in the game. They had to
certainly fill some holes on defense, but they're still the
team to beat in the NFC.

Speaker 3 (20:04):
Really so cool to have you on with us today,
you know, having listened to your voice is one of
the ogs of morning sports talk shows with Mike and Mike.
Do you have any advice for as Manti called us,
all the young ins on the morning early morning show hours, like,
do you what's something you miss about it? What's something
you are so happy to not deal with anymore? When
it comes to morning talk shows.

Speaker 10 (20:25):
Well, the first thing is getting up at four four
fifteen every morning for twenty five years. That's the one
thing I don't miss too much. Now my son and
I at least do an afternoon show. So I'm an
old man I can get some sleep. But it's it's
and my dad told me this, and this isn't rocket science.
It's it's just be yourself, you know. And I think
being a good storyteller, especially you guys do a morning show.

(20:47):
People are on their way to work, getting ready in
the morning, you know, listening to you guys, So it's
give them in for I always give information, let somebody
go huh okay, maybe I didn't know that, and.

Speaker 6 (20:58):
Make them smile a little bit as well.

Speaker 10 (21:00):
You know, I think along the way, especially in the morning,
that's that's a good thought.

Speaker 5 (21:04):
Mike. You're so good at telling stories. Just how KB said.

Speaker 8 (21:07):
I've actually known mister Goliic since I was eighteen years old.
I went to school with Mike golig junior at Notre
Dame and his son, Jake Goldick was actually my classmate
at Notre Dame. So I could we couldn't leave without
asking you.

Speaker 5 (21:19):
I couldn't. I had to ask you.

Speaker 8 (21:20):
What are some of your favorite memories about those days,
mister Golic Back when we're all over there, well.

Speaker 6 (21:26):
I'll tell you.

Speaker 10 (21:26):
I mean Manti watching that year you guys went undefeated.
We won't bring up the Alabama game, we will not, Okay,
I have to breathe deep on that way. Just listen
watching all you guys grow up together, you know, in
being there Mike for the five years, Jake for the

(21:48):
four years, my daughter Sidney swam there and was there
at that end twenty twelve as well. Just watching how
you all grew together. We all know, the locker room.
That's one of the things you missed the most from football.
The play on the field is one thing, but the
camaraderie in the locker room, I think is is the
great thing. Just watching you guys grow, become friends, go

(22:08):
undefeated that season was very nice. But really just to
watch you guys grow. And I got to watch my
brother run out the field with that golden dome. I
got to do it with my brother Greg running out.
But there was nothing like watching my two boys run
out in the field with that golden helmet. I had said,
I played in every stadium in the NFL and running

(22:30):
out of a tunnel. Nothing in the NFL match me
running out of the tunnel and watching my kids run
out of the tunnel at Notre Dame. It just it
just was the I get goosebumps when I talk about
it's just very cool.

Speaker 8 (22:41):
Yeah, my gets truly a special and Notre Dame has
something special going on, especially with the head coach Marcus Freeman.
How what do you think of market because I think
everybody feels the same way about coach Freeman.

Speaker 6 (22:52):
Well, I mean, he's a great recruiter. And just think
about college.

Speaker 10 (22:54):
Now, you not only have to recruit high school kids
sitting there in their living rooms, but you have to
recruit portal guys as well. So the load doubled up
on the coaches as far as recruiting is concerned. And
he has such a player's coach. Players love him. Their
recruiting classes have been ranked incredibly high getting them together.
And while the portal is certainly used, as Marcus says,

(23:16):
they minor in the portal, they don't major in if
they major in homegrown kids, like they'll have a homegrown
quarterback this year after two times they went to the portal.
But he is just so he's so involved with the players,
and players love playing for him talking to him. I
think he's the difference maker of the talent that they're
getting at Notre Dame.

Speaker 3 (23:38):
Awesome, Golic, We appreciate you so much and listen when
we have you on and Man's eyes on, somehow we
always have just the generic Marcus Freeman Golden Dome or b.

Speaker 5 (23:48):
Wold for great care and babe.

Speaker 3 (23:51):
Yeah you're in the family too.

Speaker 11 (23:53):
Yeah.

Speaker 4 (23:53):
Absolutely.

Speaker 3 (23:54):
And also when we have a friend of the show on,
we have to have their highlights from when they played.
So Mike goelick, everybody, thanks for coming on and sharing
your stories about Eric Allen as he.

Speaker 2 (24:02):
Is about to be in Shine this weekend.

Speaker 5 (24:06):
Wow, check out.

Speaker 2 (24:08):
My golick again.

Speaker 3 (24:09):
Weekday's goal co Golic on FanDuel Sports Network Daily Golic.

Speaker 2 (24:13):
Good Bye, thank you.

Speaker 6 (24:14):
Thanks day, appreciate it, Thank you.

Speaker 5 (24:19):
I've made some.

Speaker 3 (24:26):
Going a lot of things you can put on a
resume if you're an NFL player. The ninety nine club
at it. These seven men have achieved the ninety nine rating,
the ever elusive ninety nine rating on Madden twenty six.
Bengal star receiver Jamar Chase is actually the first ninety
nine club member in Bengals history. Here he is telling

(24:48):
the news to his QB one Hey number.

Speaker 11 (24:51):
Nine, Hey, hey, hey come here, I just went to
Leo Guy Stout. I mean, un overall, I'll beat you,
so all right, good man.

Speaker 2 (25:19):
I don't know.

Speaker 3 (25:19):
I think that ninety nine necklace would look pretty good
with that taco cat. Sure that Joe Burrow had on,
but that's Jamar Chases instead. All right, guys, which player
if you look at that list, are you would you
be excited to play with if you were playing Madden
twenty six Isaiah.

Speaker 2 (25:35):
Well being a former mobile quarterback and being somebody who
loves someone who has a big arm, and somebody who
utilized their legs. I'm gonna go with what I consider
to be the three time MVB champ, but he's officially
a two time MBB champ, Lamar Jackson. I like Lamar Jackson.
I think everybody wants to have a fast mobile quarterback
in Madden. It makes a game very unfair and not

(25:55):
fun to play against. So I'm a rock with Lamar Jackson.

Speaker 5 (25:57):
Here, let's see the board. Let's see the board. Oh
you want to see boy?

Speaker 2 (26:00):
Sorry, I'm sorry. Your case there are just in case
in case to have it.

Speaker 5 (26:04):
Yeah, let's go, there we go. I like that.

Speaker 8 (26:06):
I'm gonna stay with the same team, and the reason
I'm gonna stay with the same team is just because
this I'm the type of Madden Player where I'm gonna
run the ball every single player and you better hope
I don't get at least four yards because I'm gonna
go with no huddle, right back onto the ball, and
I'm just gonna switch what side I run the same
exact play. I'm gonna do it the whole way down.
In order to do that, I need to run it back.
That breaks a lot of tackles. So I'm gonna go
with Derrick Henry. Dereck Henry is a player that I want.
I don't know what his rating is on this new Madden,

(26:29):
but I already know that stiff Arm has to be
ninety nine.

Speaker 5 (26:31):
His break tackle has to be ninety nine. And I'm
the type of guy that I'm a little I'm a
little petty.

Speaker 8 (26:37):
So if I break a run on you, I need
to run back into a defender, run him over.

Speaker 5 (26:40):
Oh, stiff Arm, go ninety nine.

Speaker 8 (26:44):
Yards, stop at the one yard line, and we put
the friend to catch up stiff Arm again.

Speaker 5 (26:47):
The I need Derek Henry for that type of game play.

Speaker 1 (26:50):
So I got king class list and I love it.

Speaker 5 (26:52):
Yeah, i'mna love Pety when it comes out.

Speaker 1 (26:54):
I got I'm gonna go with the headline. Guys, just
give me say Kwan, I just want to play with
that toy. I want to see what that's like. The
idea that now Madden is incorporated into the game, that
Saquon can do his backwards jump. It doesn't make sense
in reality how he did that, and I don't even
think it makes sense in video games. So if I'm
controlled in Saquon and he gets a pass out to
the outside and the tackler's coming up to me, I

(27:17):
turn him around to the back to the tackler and
then jump. I don't even know how to do that.
How do you do that with the controls? I'm the sticks.

Speaker 5 (27:24):
I'm not sure, but I want to try because once I.

Speaker 4 (27:26):
Figure it out, better believe I'm doing it.

Speaker 1 (27:28):
Every single time he touches the ball, He's gonna have
fifty backwards leaps of games all over the ends one.

Speaker 5 (27:33):
That's my guy.

Speaker 3 (27:34):
As a non video game representative on this show, I
feel like I would be like, so do I turn
the remote around and then press X upside down?

Speaker 2 (27:42):
It's all the same.

Speaker 3 (27:43):
I'll figure it out.

Speaker 5 (27:44):
Just press any button. James.

Speaker 3 (27:45):
Yeah, here's a question. Somehow this still says with in Madden.
But the question is it's the tone has changed. What
non football player or celebrity, just anyone in your life
that you would want to play Madden. I guess alongside
next to you with play Madden with this person on
the couch with the sticks.

Speaker 2 (28:02):
Everybody likes playing against somebody who hawks mess, somebody who's
a big personality, because you get the highs when they're
feeling real good, and then you get to hear the
silence right as you're starting to beat them. Right, you
talk about Manti running back into the defenders, running down
the inline, right, I want to go against Marlon Wayns.
I think Marlin Waynms would be absolutely awesome to play against.
He's a big personality. He's one of my one of

(28:25):
my favorites in terms of comedians and and just just
actors and all types of comedies. So I think I
would love playing against Marlon Waims. I know the rest
of the Wayne are probably gonna be in the background
watching and gassing them up to and I just want
to silence the crowd. But respecting all y'all, Waynes.

Speaker 8 (28:38):
Say, I'm feeling your vibe today because I followed you
on the Ravens I'm also going to follow you on
the type of guy that I want to play against. Listen,
when I'm playing Madden, I want to have some fun.

Speaker 5 (28:46):
I want to laugh.

Speaker 8 (28:47):
I want to play about play against somebody will talk
some trash a little bit, but it is not too
good where after if he if he beats me, I
can't look at him be like, let's take it outside
and beat him. Like and that guy, Shane gillis okay.
So Shane gillis like one of the most the funniest
dudes that you ever come across. He is a Notre
Dame fan. Shout out to Shane for that. But I
want to play against somebody that would just talk trash

(29:08):
the whole time, Like just criticize my game call and
criticize the fact that I just run the ball all game,
and also criticize every every person on my team. After
he scores, you just miss them. I just want to
laugh the entire time. So if I had to pick
anybody to play against, it's got to be Shane Gliss.

Speaker 1 (29:24):
Those are great choices, and it would just bust you
up while he was you we were beating a man,
I'd have all kinds of jokes seemed to be hilarious,
but my answer is nobody. I don't want to play
anybody in Madden. I don't want to play any celebrity.
I want to play these Jamar Chase, Tyreek Hill, all
these guys think they're good at Madden, and I want
to play them in tech Moobile.

Speaker 5 (29:42):
I'm talking way back.

Speaker 4 (29:43):
To the eighties, not the one with super tech moobill.

Speaker 1 (29:46):
With eight plays, four simple plays is all you need.

Speaker 4 (29:49):
You can be the Raiders if you were, can have
bo Jackson. I will still stop you.

Speaker 1 (29:54):
All of you guys, come play Unk and I'll beat
you and watch.

Speaker 3 (29:59):
You know why Kyle's answering the question that way was because, Kyle,
do you remember a couple of years ago on this
show you and I did in an entire segment where
I did a post Madden game interview with you when
you beat your son one hundred or zero? Can you
can you tell that story one.

Speaker 5 (30:19):
Hundred to zero story?

Speaker 1 (30:21):
Yeah, a couple of years ago we played Mad with
my son, and listen, I'm not into this in the
young generation of Codleen and helicopter parents like sometimes you
got to teach the child and not everything is easy.
And I beat my son, one hundred to nothing. It
was the most perfect thing ever. It was ninety three
to nothing with like two seconds left, and I had
one last play to the end zone and I got it.

(30:42):
Every pass he threw I picked off return for a touchdown.
It was the I was the Eagles and he was
the Dolphins. Dallas Goddard had like seven touchdowns in that game.
It's one of my finest accomplisments. That's the final sore screen.
One hundred to zero. And this is this is before
Jalen Hurts was in the Super Bowl. I just I'm
so proud of this. I'm raising two wonderful children. But

(31:02):
this is even better. One hundred to squad perfect, the
black Swan.

Speaker 4 (31:06):
I danced it.

Speaker 5 (31:11):
You know who plays the type of petty ball? Yeah,
I did play. Anybody can't get it, including my son.
A hundred and zero. I gotta play KB.

Speaker 2 (31:21):
In the word and the words of Will Ferrell, Let
the boy watch.

Speaker 1 (31:26):
That's right, That's exactly right.

Speaker 2 (31:32):
So we're referencing Madden.

Speaker 3 (31:33):
We're referencing Tech Techmobile favorite Madden play or I guess
favorite tech place. We're breaking a segment. I say, you
got a drama.

Speaker 5 (31:45):
I'm calling this.

Speaker 3 (31:46):
Wow, we're going full blown whiteboard power.

Speaker 5 (31:50):
God it, I'm ready. Okay, I got, I gotta, I gotta,
I got this guy. Okay.

Speaker 8 (31:54):
So KB did mention that this player his player Saquon
Barkley because they just added that reverse that reverse jump. Well,
Madden also I heard is bringing this play in here.
It's the Toush push. Okay, like this job. This plays
in perfectly with my gameplay. I will run this play

(32:14):
because I'm gonna get at least three to four yards.
You know why, because they get at least two in
the real life Madden defense. I don't think they have
a deep What are we gonna run engage eight? You're
not going to stop the Toush push.

Speaker 5 (32:25):
And engage it. You don't have enough players on this
side of the field. So I would play. I would
just do Toush push.

Speaker 8 (32:31):
The entire drive and get first downs every two to
three plays and just think.

Speaker 5 (32:36):
You go to do that. That's what I'm saying.

Speaker 8 (32:38):
Do it, like you said, KB, just first play of
the game.

Speaker 6 (32:41):
Do it.

Speaker 8 (32:42):
Oh well, who cares, We're just gonna running.

Speaker 5 (32:44):
Yeah, let's go. I'm with you, brother, Dallas. I got
the Toush push. That's a that's a play.

Speaker 2 (32:49):
All right. I'm gonna go with the Madden Classic. Okay,
anybody who plays Madden and actually throws the ball not
like that run it. I'm going with the flood. I'm
going with the flood. And for all my really Madden
players out there, everybody got understood. I'm not even gonna
get into it because I can break this all the
way down. But it doesn't matter what covered you run.
I'm breaking you down with this flood play cover one,

(33:10):
cover two, Cover three two, man cloud, whatever it is
with the quarterback mine, if I have time, it's a rap, baby.
I got hot routes in here. I got deep routes
in here. I got flats. Anything you want the camn
you can get it.

Speaker 4 (33:23):
You can say you're running back.

Speaker 5 (33:25):
Said that as.

Speaker 1 (33:28):
Regards flood play, because they would do strong flood, you
do weak flood like those plays always worked. The most
Matt and I ever played was in the early two thousands,
and it was like Marshall falk was on the cover, Seawan,
Alexander Eddie George.

Speaker 4 (33:42):
Like right around then, and.

Speaker 1 (33:44):
I would always be the Chargers because LT was fantastic
and if you could throw it.

Speaker 4 (33:48):
To LT out of the backfield.

Speaker 1 (33:49):
They had this play, you know how one of the
routes was always read to be the primary. They had
a play called running back Angle.

Speaker 4 (33:56):
Yes, and you're gonna sneak.

Speaker 1 (33:57):
LT right out here, and Drew Brees would just drop
it here and he gone, baby better believe if somehow
they cover a LT, I'm going right to gates right there,
all the way to the end zone. But running back angle, simple, classic, unstoppable.

Speaker 2 (34:14):
I love it called the ISO on the inside linebacker
on that money. If the linebacker jumps the running back,
you go to the scene right behind them.

Speaker 8 (34:22):
Let's go remember this play.

Speaker 5 (34:26):
Are you going just all stream of that play?

Speaker 8 (34:28):
And this is this is Isaac Bruce out here and
the All Madden team. I will just run this play
and bomb it to Isaac Bruce every I think it
was madd in ninety eight, one of those that was
like the glitch play and.

Speaker 5 (34:38):
Just hit him. Keep spinning. I just press B button
and spin with the running back. We get here.

Speaker 2 (34:43):
You're that guy. See I'm motioning the running back out
into the slot and the I'm running him on a
slant round underneath, and I'm just gonna let him run.

Speaker 5 (34:49):
For So that's why your offense and I'm defense.

Speaker 4 (34:51):
It's like we don't need all of that. It's like
you're not going to stop me and him.

Speaker 5 (34:55):
I'm bombing this.

Speaker 8 (34:56):
Thing and I'm giving it to t N for three
to four yards and I'm going no huddle and we're
doing it to get four yards.

Speaker 2 (35:03):
Bro.

Speaker 3 (35:05):
All Madden Team, Mikyle Brandt, the All Points Team, or
I'll kick your behind team even if you are my
own son team the hundred and nothing.

Speaker 2 (35:14):
Look at that right, Let the boy the boy watch
