Speaker 1 (00:04):
Good Morning Football is the production of the NFL in
partnership with iHeartRadio.
Speaker 2 (00:11):
JMFB on a Tuesday. We are all giddy because we just.
Speaker 3 (00:14):
Got to announce the International Games on NFL network.
Speaker 2 (00:17):
Breaking news. That was exactly right. It was almost like
we give everybody else permission now to discuss it. Sean Merriman,
Mitch Morris.
Speaker 3 (00:24):
Marcel Reese. This is our crew this week on GMFB.
We have the slate of International Games. We have a
guest coming up right now from the Colts.
Speaker 2 (00:33):
They are traveling abroad. Let's get it going. GMFB on
a Tuesday.
Speaker 3 (00:36):
What's hip, Good Morning Football, Good morning everybody, GMFB, it's happening.
We just announced the International Games for twenty twenty five.
(01:00):
Shall we take a gander at them again? Because one
of the most fascinating parts of it is that you
have a single team who was opting not only to
play in back to back weeks.
Speaker 2 (01:09):
But to jump countries to do so.
Speaker 3 (01:11):
The Minnesota Vikings in week four will travel to Dublin,
Ireland to take on the Pittsburgh Steelers. All these teams
that you're going to see on the right side of
your screen, they were already the designated home team. We
just revealed the opponents and when these games are going
to be played. So the Vikings got the Steelers in
week four in Dublin. Vikings will stay abroad and take
on the Cleveland Browns at Tottenham Hotsford Stadium the week
later Week four, Week five, in week six, so you
(01:33):
got two new teams coming to town in London at
Tottenham Hotspur in the Broncos and the Jets. Moving on
week seven, still in London, but now you're going to
go to Wembley to La Rams, going across the Pond
to take on the Jacksonville Jaguars.
Speaker 2 (01:47):
Great quarterback matchup there as.
Speaker 3 (01:49):
Well as young fifth defenses, and then come back home
for a beat. Then you're going to take your talents
to Berlin, Germany for the first time ever NFL regular
season game Falcons Colts in week ten. Michael Pennock junior
Anthony Richardson about to have a Colts player on the
show to discuss this matchup. By the way, week eleven,
(02:09):
let's take you to Madrid, Spain for the final international
regular season game to be played this upcoming season. It's
the Washington Commanders and Miami Dolphins played at the home
stadium where Real Madrid plays incredible, a couple of first
time evers for the NFL, which is a really cool
thing to be a part of. Those games can be
seen nine thirty am Eastern on NFL Network.
Speaker 2 (02:31):
It's quite the list.
Speaker 3 (02:33):
What stands out to you guys when we first revealed
them to you?
Speaker 2 (02:36):
Marsa, I'll start with you.
Speaker 4 (02:38):
So, first of all, there are some matchups to have
fireworks and must see TV written all over. But I
am going to go away from the teams in week
four and talk about the fans. Now, we are all
MMA fans here, yes, and we're getting Jamie involved too.
She's going to just start joining, start doing some jiu jitsu.
But Week four in Dublin, Ireland. Oh you don't know
(02:59):
how many fans that that stadium seats, but can you
imagine sixty thousand Connor McGregor personalities, one building, drink it
some proper twelve or whatever they do and watching some
good football. It is going to be unbelievable. That atmosphere
has to has.
Speaker 3 (03:17):
To be fireworks allegedly it's eighty two plus.
Speaker 2 (03:23):
Good morning everybody.
Speaker 4 (03:25):
I mean, unbelievable atmosphere. That's going to be fun. For everyone,
especially the players.
Speaker 2 (03:28):
Absolutely, Mitch, what do you got?
Speaker 5 (03:31):
I'm going to go to the game itself. Like you said,
fireworks all about these international games. The one that's going
to stand out to me is for the matchup week six,
the Jets versus the Broncos. Listen, one of the teams
is going to stay at the Grove, beautiful establishment, amazing food,
tremendous hospitality, and then the other is going to stay
(03:53):
at Hanbury Mariner that's got a lot of history, but
they're going to take the bus there. They're going to
go through these, you know, really little small town field,
boarded up houses sometimes, and then right there is this
monstrosity of a stadium, a beautiful thing. And then what
you're gonna see is two defensive teams go to war.
(04:13):
And by week six, we're gonna see what Aaron Glenn
has got in the Jets. We're gonna see what Justin
Field is rocking with, and we're gonna see if bow
Nickson that Denver defense is going to continue what they
were doing for the least the back half, if not
the whole year of the season. So I'm really looking
forward to seeing those two teams go after it and
see if those two teams can't get their offenses going
against them established monsters on defense.
Speaker 3 (04:35):
If I remember correctly, the last year's regular season game
between the Broncos and the Jets was like an absolute stinker.
I think it was like a ten to nine game
in the rain.
Speaker 2 (04:43):
It was terrible.
Speaker 3 (04:44):
We hope for a better one for the international audience experience, Sean,
what do you.
Speaker 6 (04:48):
Got, Well, i'm'll go here because I think this is
the first time we're seeing a team stay over at
multiple times, like play back back. But there's one team
in particular that seems to play across seas a lot
next to Jacksonville jack Art against the Rams. I'm looking
for that matchup. But more importantly, we talked about the
NFL expansion. They say more and more international games. We're
seeing for the first time that a team is staying
(05:10):
over there, playing back to back, getting you.
Speaker 7 (05:11):
Know, kind of planting the seed over.
Speaker 6 (05:13):
There a little bit back to back to back. So
I'm not too big of my conspiracy theres but we
just keep seeing one team in particular spend more time
overseas than everyone else, and so I got my eyes
out of it.
Speaker 2 (05:26):
It's all about the marketing.
Speaker 3 (05:27):
FOOTI you know there have been a couple of games
played in Munich, Germany. There's also one a couple of
years back played in Frankfurt. But now, for the first
time ever, the NFL is going to Berlin and the
Colts are the home team. And now we have a
friend of our show, Kenny Moore, joining us from the
Indianapolis Colts.
Speaker 2 (05:44):
Kenny, what's going on? How are you this morning?
Speaker 7 (05:47):
Doing?
Speaker 2 (05:48):
Great?
Speaker 7 (05:48):
Good morning? How you doing?
Speaker 2 (05:49):
We're so good.
Speaker 3 (05:50):
We're kind of giddy with all this information and the
fact that we know now the teams and the opponents
that will be playing abroad. You are week ten assignment
with the Atlanta Falcons and Berlin, Germany.
Speaker 2 (06:02):
I know you already knew.
Speaker 3 (06:03):
The travel happening, but now you know the opponent and
just the reality of the situation.
Speaker 2 (06:08):
How amped are you.
Speaker 1 (06:10):
Very It'll be my first time, second time over in
Germany playing the game November ninth, looking forward to it,
be able to tell the guys in the locker room.
So I was just in Berlin actually a couple of
weeks ago. I was able to playing a couple of
seats over there. We did about four cities in ten days,
and we went to Berlin. We actually stayed in Berlin
(06:32):
the most, and we did an academy over there. You
know some football camps that I do every single year.
Able to start a football academy over in Berlin, did
the same thing in Frankfurt, the city that we played
two years ago. So able to meet a lot of
great people and spread the love of football.
Speaker 7 (06:49):
Kitty, it's Sean.
Speaker 6 (06:50):
Murriman, hit Man. How was that an atmosphere compared to
Lucas Oil Stadium? Are the fans are just wow?
Speaker 8 (06:55):
Like?
Speaker 7 (06:56):
How does it feel? What's the atmosphere like?
Speaker 1 (06:59):
It's actually very interesting. They know a lot about football,
more about football that you think than you think. We
all know that they have the passion of to us
a soccer and that passion that they have with soccer,
they have the same passion with American football and able
to share that love and more insight and just seeing
them in the flesh, I think it did a wonders
(07:20):
for them and it did a lot for me as well,
so I'm able to see the same fans this stuff
coming far.
Speaker 4 (07:27):
Hey Kenny Marcel Reese here, now, I'm sure you've mastered
a few German words because you were just out there
announcing the Colts fifth round pick running back DJ Giddons.
Speaker 7 (07:36):
What was that experience like for you, the draft pick? Yeah,
it was it was great.
Speaker 1 (07:45):
I mean I started a little bit because it was
freaking freezing at night, and so I don't know if
I would sign up for that, but yeah, it was
a great time. It was a great time being out there.
You see me on the standing down on the statue.
But it was great being there with the coach, Chileaders,
being there with family, you know, being there with the
(08:07):
familiar faces, being able to share in love with them,
being there with the former cult with Beyond, and you know,
Blue was always being crazy, so there's nothing new to us.
Speaker 3 (08:15):
It wasn't much warmer in Green Bay, Kenny, So you
didn't miss much.
Speaker 2 (08:18):
You're good. You would have been dressed the same and
you would have been just as Chile if you had
done that pick.
Speaker 5 (08:22):
You're saying actually got no sleeves, which was a little
bit alarming.
Speaker 7 (08:26):
Kenny.
Speaker 5 (08:26):
You talked about planning the seed over there with some
of their youth camps over in Frankfurt and Berlin. My
question to you is how is the youth over there
taking on I would say football a and not soccer football.
Speaker 1 (08:41):
B Well, I think the I think the first step
for going to to do you know, football academies and
doing drills is to give them some football cleats. They're
all in soccer and cleaves. They're all in some cleats
that's different than what we use. So we'll have to
you know, get them right with some football cleach next time.
Speaker 6 (09:02):
Uh.
Speaker 1 (09:03):
It was great though, you know it always does. You know,
they aren't as I guess equipped athletically and you know,
information wise on on the game, but they're all so
excited and they're also inspired inspired to learn a game
of football. And you know, I think doing anything great,
(09:25):
you got to have to want to and I think
they really do have they want to of doing it.
So it just pumped me up to be able to
be there as a coach just being at one percent
for them, and I'm sure it'll be a lot more
help to come.
Speaker 2 (09:37):
Kenny, it's awesome to have you on.
Speaker 3 (09:39):
We love when you joined GMFF, but now GMP has
kind of become this grassroots marketing program for getting Indianapolis
colts on television.
Speaker 2 (09:47):
We've had Nick Cross on.
Speaker 3 (09:49):
Cambine Them's constantly on the show. Are you going to
engage in the Cambuye Them celebration organization. And do you
think that will translate in Germany?
Speaker 1 (09:59):
Oh, for sure, I know that they'll all be excited
to see a celebration. We we got to come up
with a takeaway to be able to dance. But I'm
waiting to see what cam Bonham has up his sleeves,
and so I'm pretty sure everybody is waiting for that
for that moment.
Speaker 7 (10:15):
And I'm sure we'll.
Speaker 1 (10:17):
Have to get the practice, probably a lot of practice
with my teammates, so we'll see how coordinated everybody is.
Speaker 3 (10:24):
Yeah, absolutely, well, I have to I have some concern though,
you see more willing to do it than Nick Cross,
your teammate. He was on for an entire week with us,
and he says, I'm not sure if you can convince
me to do this celebration with Cambina. But also, what
do you make of Nick Cross recreating this viral morning
preparation routine?
Speaker 1 (10:42):
Very interesting, but this is very Nick Crossing going into
a tea.
Speaker 7 (10:46):
This is very him.
Speaker 1 (10:50):
It's a little much for me, but you know, to
each his own.
Speaker 5 (10:54):
You guys are get enough hell on the locker room,
aren't you.
Speaker 7 (10:56):
Yeah?
Speaker 2 (10:57):
For sure until he picks up those chains.
Speaker 3 (10:59):
It was a ridiculous video, but we appreciated him being
on and you, Kenny, as always, you're awesome. We cannot
wait to hear you lead the crowd in Germany country
roads singing along.
Speaker 7 (11:12):
Thank you appreciated.
Speaker 3 (11:14):
Yep, definitely, we'll see you next season, kennymore, stay stay
healthy and we'll talk to you again when the schedule
is released.
Speaker 2 (11:19):
Did we just do that? No, the rest is coming
on Wednesday night. So busy this morning.
Speaker 3 (11:28):
I'm so distracted with the International Games that we just
announced on GMFB. But let's center ourselves, ground ourselves back
here Stateside and focus on the New York Giants and
the rest of the teams that are engaging in Rookie
Mini camp right now as we welcome in Tom Pillicero
to GMFB.
Speaker 2 (11:44):
Tom, Good morning to you.
Speaker 3 (11:45):
We saw the Giants trade back into the first round
at last month's draft to retain the services of quarterback
Jackson Dart. What have the Giants seen from him thus
far in Rookie minni Caamp?
Speaker 7 (11:57):
Well, Jamie.
Speaker 9 (11:57):
The Giants were on twenty six teams that concluded the
rookie Mini camps over the weekend, and coach Brian Babel,
as is his or was mostly positive and frankly a
little bit generic in terms of what he saw from
Jackson Dart and the rest of the players. Now, we
did compliment Jackson Dart in terms of how he'd approached
things in terms of his leadership crates in terms of
how he handled.
Speaker 7 (12:17):
His business through the course of the week.
Speaker 9 (12:19):
As Nabel said, we're not running any exotic coverage or
having a pass rusher pressure.
Speaker 7 (12:22):
Sure there will be time to develop that.
Speaker 9 (12:24):
Well we've asked him to do, and how he's gone
about a business as a young pro at that position
is important.
Speaker 7 (12:29):
Now we know that the Giants'.
Speaker 9 (12:31):
Brain trust has been on the record saying Brian dabeles
specifically Russell Wilson will be the starting quarterback. Now, that
is how the depth chart is going to line up
now that the veterans and the rookies integrate together in
the off season program.
Speaker 7 (12:45):
Ota is still a couple of weeks away.
Speaker 9 (12:47):
When those begin, you can anticipate it will be Russell
Wilson as the number one quarterback, Jameis Winston quite possibly
as the two in Jackson Dart as the three.
Speaker 7 (12:54):
But anytime we're talking about.
Speaker 9 (12:55):
A first round drafted quarterback, particularly on a team that's
got a couple of veterans on one year deals. This
is going to be one of the fascinating quarterback story
lines were following all the way through training camp in
the preseason.
Speaker 2 (13:07):
Jamie I liked how you use that word.
Speaker 3 (13:09):
When the teams integrate together and the rookies and the
veterans all of a sudden, it might become very apparent
or convincing that Jackson Dart should be the guy eventually.
What is the philosophy for the Giants when it comes
to Jackson Dart. Is this a we'll wait and see
or are they a true red shirt rookie season kind
of team.
Speaker 9 (13:29):
Well, listen, they haven't been in this position with this
brain trust before. The Daniel Jones pick was from a
prior regime. Obviously, they won a lot of games with him.
In Brian daviles first season, they went to the playoffs,
they won a playoff game in Minnesota. Then things went
another direction after they had retained Daniel Jones prior to
him hitting free agency. This is the first time that
they have hand picked their quarterback and it is Jackson Dart.
(13:52):
We know that they did all the homework on all
those other quarterbacks that potentially they could have taken. They
came to the conclusion that Jackson Dart had certain traits
that they were looking for. Among them, he had layers
to his game, the fact that he's a bigger, stronger
quarterback who you can run some Reid option with, you
can run RPOs, you could do some of the things
that we've seen in Brian Dables' offenses have been at
(14:13):
their best with guys like Josh Allen in Buffalo and
Daniel Jones that first year with the Giants. You're probably
not at this state to Russell Wilson's career exposing him
in those types of run elements. You're certainly not exposing
James Winston to as a runner of the football. And
so that's gonna be one of the interesting things here
is did Jackson Dart show enough through the preseason that
they really have to think about it again. What they're
(14:34):
saying as of now is Russell Wilson's the guy that
is the plan. But anytime you draft a quarterback in
the first round, Jamie, there is some inherent pressure, particularly
if things don't come out of the gate hot with
whatever veterans in the lineup.
Speaker 3 (14:46):
Well, whatever has been happening at Rocky Minnicamp, Tom, it's
working for the Giants because the fans are absolutely buzzing,
not only about Jackson Dart, but the rest of the
names that the team drafted. In the first couple of
rounds between Abdul Carter, Cam Skataboo, the fans are jacked
up with some energy.
Speaker 2 (15:01):
So the Giants are competing.
Speaker 3 (15:03):
Now in a division that bullsey reigning Super Bowl champion.
They're trying to fix some things on both sides of
the ball. What do we make of this twenty twenty
five Giants rookie class and how it integrates itself, Marcel
into what the Giants are trying to do.
Speaker 7 (15:18):
I was impressed with the Giants draft. I thought they
did a.
Speaker 4 (15:21):
Fantastic job of one addressing immediate needs and Jackson Dart
was a great pick for them.
Speaker 7 (15:28):
He's going to learn for an entire year, and.
Speaker 4 (15:30):
Russell Wilson is the first is one of the best
people that he can actually learn from, because, like Tom referenced,
the traits and layers to Jackson Dart's game are really
similar to how Russell started his started his career the
read option, the RPOs getting the ball out on time,
scheduled throws, keeping staying above the change. But abdul Carter
(15:53):
I spent some time, a lot of time the full
season last year with the Big Tens.
Speaker 2 (15:56):
Do you work for pretenant work each ching Penn State?
Speaker 7 (15:59):
It was. He is a man amongst men.
Speaker 4 (16:03):
He is an imposed figure and force on the football field,
covering the Fiesta Bowl and spending some time with their
head coach at over at Penn State. And he is
he speaks volumes about his leadership, James James Franklin, he speaks,
thank you, Jamie. It speaks volume about his leadership and
(16:23):
just wrecking practices. Admit, you know when d Lineman wreck practices,
it's miserable for an offense.
Speaker 7 (16:29):
And he's going to do that in the games.
Speaker 5 (16:30):
Yeah, no, it's terrible.
Speaker 7 (16:35):
Tim Yeah.
Speaker 5 (16:37):
For me, it took watching two plays of abdul Carter
and I was sold. I mean that's an easy you
know whatever was it picked three right there. The interesting
thing for me is I spent some time with Brian
day Ball and Buffalo. What Tom was talking about in
regards to you know, day Ball gave this you know,
generic answer that's I'm telling you behind. That's not Dayball
(16:57):
behind closed doors, and he's on fire. And the nice
thing is he truly does care about relationships and building
those and garnering those. But when good times are good, great,
when bad times aren't going well and halftime, watch out
for the iPad's flying. But that being said, he's a
good man. He's an amazing football coach and offensive mind.
And he's also in his past not afraid to change
(17:18):
things up and against what the quote unquote status quote
is or what people think is going to happen. To
your point, I pray that Jackson dar gets a whole
year behind Russell Wilson. It's just the logical thing. But
wouldn't be surprised if the Holy Spirit tells Brian dave
Ball it's time to get this thing going, put him in,
and he really doesn't care about the outside opinion or
(17:41):
what he thinks going on.
Speaker 6 (17:42):
You know, I got a chance to talk to Brian
day Bolt down at the East West Ryan Bowl doing
the practices and spend some time with him, And.
Speaker 7 (17:47):
Believe it or not, yes, they were looking at your doorstanders.
They were spend a lot of.
Speaker 6 (17:50):
Time looking at your door whether they want to say
that publicly or not.
Speaker 7 (17:53):
They were looking at your door.
Speaker 6 (17:54):
But when we were speaking, he was actually closer to
the D line, watching the D lineman in O line
pass rushing drills. So they were looking at guys on
the defense. So when they drafted up dual Card, I
knew that the mentality there was to go defense first.
Let's get the best guy off of the board. Also,
I believe that Bill Carter is going to be defensive
rookie the year.
Speaker 7 (18:11):
He has that type mentality.
Speaker 6 (18:12):
Now, oh yeah, oh yeah, not number fifty six talent,
but I think he is.
Speaker 7 (18:17):
He will be the defensive rookie of the year.
Speaker 6 (18:19):
And just what he can do on the field right now,
he can put him on there and he can learn
everything else. A guy that does that explosive you can
put them on the field. He's going to make plays regardless.
And I just like this kid's mentality. I know there
was a little bit eager, a little bit aggressive the
go next for Lawrence Taylor's jersey, but I like his
confidence and I think he's going to go out there
and be the best defensive rookie the this year.
Speaker 4 (18:39):
This is what I'll say about that Sean, because I
do agree with you, but there's going to be an
onus on the New York Giants coaching staff to try
to maximize that rookie year by expediting the learning curve
that comes with being in the.
Speaker 7 (18:53):
National Football League.
Speaker 4 (18:54):
You can be good, you could be explosive, you could
be strong, but there's something different being blocked by a
college guy and Mitch here right, there's little tricks to
the trade. There are things that he is going to
have to learn, and that rooky learning curve is huge, right,
So maximizing that means not worrying about the sac numbers
and more so worrying about the impact on the game.
(19:16):
And I think if they do that during training camp,
make that training camp hard and grueling for him early
on in training camp, and I think that he is
going to have a fantastic season.
Speaker 3 (19:25):
And not so sneaky thing about the Giants, though, is
that it would be hard if you were a rookie
and you were aubdu carter in that position, and you
were entering a defense and you were the only dude.
Last year, I had the Giants game in Munich, Germany.
They were playing the Panthers and the Giants being the
home team, they had a lot of the marketing traits
you know, around the city.
Speaker 2 (19:42):
And we went to effectively like.
Speaker 3 (19:44):
The hard Rock Cafe of munich And for an event,
and the Giants they had all these big, like six
and a half foot you know, fat head type stand
up posters of all the players. And I'm walking around
the restaurant with Kurt Warner and we're looking at you know,
Dexter Lawrence, Brian Burns, Tyrone Tracy. You're like, this team
has some dudes on it, why aren't they? And clearly
(20:05):
they were just missing a couple of pieces, whether it
be the quarterback. When you look at this draft class,
Lakah Jackson dart like an obdual Carter like a Camp Scattago.
Speaker 7 (20:15):
All of a.
Speaker 3 (20:15):
Sudden, does a rookie injection of energy change the tenor
of a building?
Speaker 2 (20:20):
Ken three guys.
Speaker 3 (20:22):
Maybe with you don't know what you don't know kind
of energy in the NFL? Can that change what the
Giants have going on?
Speaker 7 (20:28):
Absolutely? It is.
Speaker 4 (20:30):
It's the It's the innocence, if you will, of being
a rookie. When you have that innocence, you come in
and you're optimistic about everything. When you've been in the NFL,
just like you've for a long time. Just like any business,
you can become a bit jaded if you will. But
when you're talking about excited rookies and most of them
(20:50):
with a chip on the shoulder, Abdul Carter was drafted high,
but he still has a chip on his shoulder.
Speaker 7 (20:56):
He operates with a chip on his shoulder.
Speaker 4 (20:58):
Camp Scattabo has an absolute chip on his shoulder, and
he outplays his statue, his athleticism, he outplays that and
that type of those types of traits and intellgibles can
be infectious.
Speaker 6 (21:10):
And I think too if you look at just this
defense in general, we're talking about a dual card. They
got some mother dogs out there that made Thibodeau. They have,
they got talent on this defense. So as you said,
he's not going to have to come out and be
the guy early on, and he just made benefit by
having someone on the opfoice site we.
Speaker 7 (21:27):
Talked about pre show.
Speaker 6 (21:28):
I had somebody on the off side of me and
Sean Phillips who was able to take some of this
pressure off that when they started a fan protection, the
slab protection and chipping off of the edge, well they
got to pick that poison week in a week out,
and I think automatically that will put that will put
out dual Carter in a.
Speaker 7 (21:41):
Position to win.
Speaker 4 (21:42):
I love chipping Sewn by the way, that's on the
blind side, right on his right shoulder when he's.
Speaker 7 (21:47):
Engaged with the tackle.
Speaker 3 (21:48):
You weren't distracted by Sean Jones. You were focused on
making sure you chipped him. Yeah, yeah, absolutely, I bet
if you're a center, we're going to get into that conversation.
Worried as a center though, can you imagine popping your
head up and trying to assess and help your quarterback
behind you and say, oh, there's Thibodeau, No, no, there's
Abdul Carter. Oh nope, there's dexter Lawrence. What do you
(22:09):
do in circumstances like that?
Speaker 5 (22:11):
Well, for the fat head thing when you were overseas,
I don't know how much cardboard they use for dexterra on.
He is, first of all an elite player. Yes, a
game wrecord hard to see past. But also to your point,
who are you gonna someone's gonna have to block one
on one? And I think the thing about defense, especially
(22:32):
on the offensive side, it's to see how infectious playmaking gifts.
How these disrupting plays, and that's not not only sex. Honestly,
is an offensive guy when you see a defense get
excited about tackle for loss or a one yard game
more so than sex.
Speaker 7 (22:46):
That makes sense.
Speaker 5 (22:46):
But you see those guys rally up, pick each other up,
talk a little smack. It is infectious. And I think
if those rookies just take their time, make these relationships,
show that these play this playmaking ability, of course, is
going to happen. It's gonna be a real problem.
Speaker 3 (23:00):
I liked what you referenced about your time spent in
Buffalo and you what you know Brian Dable on how
he runs an offense. Now, everyone's talking about what Russell
Wilson was when he entered the NFL, But what about
what Josh Allen does with his size and his build.
I'm not saying Jackson Dart is that Just relax for
a second. I'm just saying what Brian Dable and how
he's able to manipulate an offense.
Speaker 2 (23:19):
To work with a big bodied quarterback.
Speaker 5 (23:21):
Well, I think the word you just manipulate an offense? Yeah,
I think when you have a guy who is mobile,
of course, you don't want to put him in too
many situations that they're going to get hit. Josh is
fairly robust. He's shown it also, knowing his personality, he
likes getting that first contact. By the way, Jackson Dart,
I mean, if that's the case, let him fly, dude,
let him get smacked once or twice. Talks and smack
(23:42):
get up. The thing that Dave Ball does very well
is know the pieces he has, working those around, making
them multiple. It's just everyone getting on track. Just give
Jackson Dart a little bit of time. I really hope
I don't see him too early in the season, and
then let the kid cook, you.
Speaker 7 (23:59):
Know, later on.
Speaker 3 (24:00):
I've never heard a kinder way to describe how Josh
Allen plaice quarterback than fairly Robut I mean that's perfect.
I know the compatriots at the table are impressed.
Speaker 6 (24:16):
It.
Speaker 3 (24:19):
This past weekend, that ever, Broncos in Minnesota Vikings hosted
their NFL Flag Regional tournament, with sixty three total teams
competing in eleven age groups. Nw C Blue Rangers out
of Wisconsin had an upset in the finals.
Speaker 2 (24:31):
A team from Wisconsin goes to.
Speaker 3 (24:33):
Minnesota, Come on, what are we doing in the finals
to punch there to get back to Canton. To find
the league near you, visit NFL flag dot com. All right,
with the state of the tush push in limbo, the
vote is still being withheld until the next NFL meeting.
I just got such a look from Mitch Morris about
the tush push that was.
Speaker 2 (24:52):
A side eye of all side eyes.
Speaker 3 (24:57):
Eagles owner Jeffrey Lourie is already looking to the future
by returning to the past.
Speaker 2 (25:03):
He joined to former.
Speaker 3 (25:05):
NFL fullback John Ritchie on w IP radio and said
that he wants to bring the position of the full
back back into the fold.
Speaker 10 (25:13):
I have a quick message for John. I miss you.
But also you know what we're gonna. We're gonna try
to quietly resurrect the full back position. Kevin Turner, yourself,
maybe maybe Ben can do some things here. We're gonna
we're gonna try for it. How's that?
Speaker 7 (25:27):
Thank you? Uh?
Speaker 4 (25:29):
And I really I really do think there's a place
for the full coming back.
Speaker 7 (25:34):
We all will, don they all do? Yes?
Speaker 3 (25:37):
Was that just like an open love letter to Marcel
Reese as well? And we quote, we are going to
try to resurrect the full back position. What do we
make of Jeffrey Laurie saying this as it relates to
the tushbush.
Speaker 2 (25:50):
I will start with you, Marcel.
Speaker 4 (25:52):
It's just a man who knows football, just knows ball.
Speaker 2 (25:56):
Say more things about it, though.
Speaker 7 (25:58):
Name.
Speaker 4 (26:00):
When's the last Super Bowl champion that didn't have a
fullback on the ross?
Speaker 2 (26:04):
Nice?
Speaker 7 (26:05):
That's a good point. I challenge anyone to name it.
Speaker 6 (26:08):
I just I just feel like the fullback position in
general is just what makes football football right. And I
played with the greatest my opinion, the greatest fullback of
all time.
Speaker 7 (26:16):
And your opinion is wrong. What's that? Your opinions wrong?
Speaker 2 (26:19):
Are it's starting?
Speaker 7 (26:22):
Who's it? Who is it? You're pointing at him?
Speaker 2 (26:26):
You were the greatest fullback of all time?
Speaker 7 (26:29):
Now hold on, we gotta take no no.
Speaker 4 (26:33):
I said this Lolo Neil Lorenzo O'Neil, So he's right.
Speaker 7 (26:38):
I got to give it to Lorenzo. I'm I'm.
Speaker 4 (26:45):
Neil, and I'm gonna text you later about this conversation. Actually,
Sean and I got to FaceTime you. I love you.
You taught me so many tricks. His wrestling maneuvers helped
turn me into the best fullback of my generation.
Speaker 6 (26:58):
Yeah, and I had look, I had to see him
every day in practice, so we we had so many
big collisions that we had to come up with the
brother in law, right, you know in law. The brother
in law is when you got to make it to
the game, and that glorious.
Speaker 7 (27:12):
So you know, me and Loan Neil, we would clash
so much.
Speaker 6 (27:15):
We have so many big collisions in practice where we
would have to stop or someone wasn't going to make
it to the game. So every time we get about
a yard or two from each other, we just stop
and pull up and we just kind of almost embrace
and say, okay, we're in position. We're done, and the
coaches will say nothing to us because they know that
if they didn't scale us back, someone wasn't going to
make it to the game.
Speaker 2 (27:35):
We're calling it the.
Speaker 3 (27:35):
Brother in law because it's like you're married to my sister.
Speaker 2 (27:38):
I don't want to fight you, but I don't like you.
Speaker 4 (27:41):
So this is this is pre CBA talk, right, This
is when you actually had padded practices and you had
to wear your mouthpiece and you were in full pad.
We are not wearing sweats and T shirts and I'd
be looking at me. But when you think about it,
when you play the full back position that way, the
(28:01):
way low Neil played, and he played, you know, wildly
different than me. You know, you lose about three inches
on your hype because he will sit up there and
kiss defenders and I'm sure Sean Felton in practice, oh yeah,
putting your face mask under their face mask and driving
everybody's And I just think with the full back position
in general, a mentality is established.
Speaker 6 (28:24):
Right when you got somebody back there, you know they're
running a ball. They can be lining up in a
power set or some I form. You know they're running
up the football downfield, and it just establishes who it is.
And I'm gonna tell you this, Guys like say Kwon
Barkley is the reason why the running back position is
going to come back around. The reason why the fullback
position is going to come back around, because teams that
can win late in the season can run the football.
And I think that everyone's starting to see that. But
(28:44):
one hundred percent, the full back position should be back
in place, one hundred no, no doubt.
Speaker 4 (28:48):
And I think it goes beyond just on field play.
When yes, when you talk about a fullback, right it's
what we call a thankless position. Yes, we go in
the locker room with the mindset is my first thing
that I'm going to do is be the best teammate
I can possibly be. I'm gonna know everyone's position, everyone's responsibility.
I'm gonna I'm gonna pride myself on being the smartest
(29:08):
guy on the field and be able to besides the
center because the center, we have the center's back.
Speaker 7 (29:13):
Right, if the center is.
Speaker 4 (29:15):
Busy handling a double team, I'm gonna have his back
to make sure that I clean up anything that he
can't see, right, because he has to have his head down.
Speaker 7 (29:23):
So that's what a fullback is.
Speaker 4 (29:25):
And when you go into a locker room or a
game and I see you alec Ingold, my little brother
who who I tried to take on a role of
load Neil for him and Kyle Hughescheck, who is fantastic
at what he does. Honestly, no one plays the positions
like low Neil. To your point, he is the best
at defense. Its Bonta Leech another good one that we
have to give a ton of props to.
Speaker 7 (29:46):
So you know you mentioned Sherm earlier. He had the
who was great.
Speaker 5 (29:51):
At what he did as well, and he was a
total tone center in the locker room. The fullbacks I've
been around to your point, and the locker room made
almost as big of an impact as they did on
the you know, on the field.
Speaker 7 (30:01):
He was a towne center.
Speaker 5 (30:02):
He's the reason why I'm bald, because not because of
the quarters all level or me losing my hair. But
I show up as a rookie and he goes, hey,
you would really look good bald. I'm like, oh, that'd
be great, that's cool. Next day I show up, he goes,
you're not bald. I'm like, oh yeah. And then the
next day I show up and in so many words
I can't say, he's like, you're gonna be bald tomorrow,
(30:22):
rams and problems. And the next day I show up,
I just shaved my head. I don't raise it, and
he goes, what part of being bald? Do you not understand?
I'm still having my suit because my bags were lost.
I'm calling my mom again. And then the next day
I finally, me and the whole rookies we go shave
it and he goes, there you go, and you know
what the whole thing was. The whole day got complimented
for being bald and how much were better luck? He
(30:43):
was looking out for me in his own special way,
which was sharing me dating your own way, and we
needed you in that locker room.
Speaker 2 (30:48):
Pal, What a strange.
Speaker 3 (30:49):
Love language between you and fullbacks, centers and fullbacks, Oh,
centers in full back centers and fullbacks. Can we go
back to so I'm looking at my camera here, I
just utter the words tush, push and can you just
look at me again the same way you did.
Speaker 7 (31:04):
It was.
Speaker 5 (31:08):
About the fact that you can't ban a play because
a team's so good at it.
Speaker 7 (31:11):
Thank you. That's insane. Stop being solved.
Speaker 5 (31:14):
You know what, Why has it not no other teams
able to do it effectively? I mean, uh, you see,
I would say the Bills were to a certain point.
Of course, you're going to talk about that fourth down
play that we got to last year. But they are
just so dynamic at it. It's so unique. And you know,
if they do it in third and one and for
some god forsaken reason, which doesn't happen, they get stopped,
it's not going to get stop again. I mean, honestly,
(31:37):
they could do it down the whole field, but you
cannot tell me you're going to ban a play because
you're someone is so dang good at.
Speaker 7 (31:45):
Because you can't stop it.
Speaker 2 (31:46):
It's ridiculous, Sean, How do you stop it?
Speaker 7 (31:48):
Yeah?
Speaker 6 (31:49):
I mean, look, somebody got a copycat league, right, so
someone has to go out there. Once they figure out
how to stop it, then everyone else will. But until then,
I just don't believe in removing anything because it's like
it's like playing a video game. Somebody's running the same
play over and over again. Well, how about you stop it.
You can't sit your team game.
Speaker 7 (32:04):
You got to.
Speaker 6 (32:04):
So I think that until someone goes out there and
does something to stop it, it's going to keep happening.
We've seen this happen before with other plays, right when
they start running wildcat and they start doing different things
RPO action. Well, when you start hitting the quarterback of
those RPO actions when they're doing too much wildcat and
you start hitting guys and they got out of that skin.
But until you stop it, I don't believe that they
(32:26):
should make a rule on it.
Speaker 4 (32:27):
It's going to take someone in their division to find
one of those big nose tackles.
Speaker 7 (32:32):
Three fifty plus. A lot of the.
Speaker 4 (32:33):
Around, a lot of says like one of depot from
the sheet, Like, find one of those tone setters that's
going to line up right ahead of the center yep,
and drive him off the ball. That's what it's going
to take. So when you know it, you know it's coming.
So when you see it, see it coming, you go
stop it. That's what it's going to take.
Speaker 3 (32:53):
Didn't We just have this conversation about with the Giants
did with their draft and their defense and the fact
that you could have Dexter Laurence standing there and maybe
he just had too much of a workload in the past,
and now he's got out Dual Carter standing there and
he's got Brian Burns behind him, maybe the Giant. So like,
we'll do it, We'll stand up and stop the toush push.
Speaker 2 (33:11):
Can a team accomplish it?
Speaker 7 (33:12):
Well?
Speaker 5 (33:12):
I would just say when we play the Philadelphi Eagles
and it was fourth and one, the offense, you know,
the opposing offense usually gets up and they get ready.
We wouldn't even get off the bench because the likelihood
of it being stopped was almost zero. Yeah, Like you
have to get big bodies. You see some teams kind
of turning their shoulders, you know, they got the rugby
(33:33):
folks in there to teach them. You got to get
the rugby folks to teach, you know, and turn out
to a true scrama.
Speaker 7 (33:38):
Yeah, you're right.
Speaker 5 (33:39):
Listen, I'm not going to solve it. No one else has.
It'll be a beautiful thing when it's figured out at
some point.
Speaker 3 (33:44):
The international influence on the tush push is felt to
your point about the Rugby incorporation of it.
Speaker 2 (33:51):
And we just.
Speaker 3 (33:51):
Announced soli our International Games here on GMF that you'll
see on NFL network next to all the Colts.
Speaker 2 (33:56):
Are playing in Germany.
Speaker 3 (33:57):
For the Colts, Jasmine Park, food made with love is
food free of guilt and full of meaning. This Asian American, Native,
Hawaiian and Pacific Islander Heritage Month, she's probably embracing her
heritage and using her voice to build connections and cultural
understanding through meaningful Asian representation.
Speaker 2 (34:18):
I'm Jasmine Park.
Speaker 8 (34:19):
I'm the vice president of People, Culture and Inclusion for
the Indianapolis Cults, and I am a first generation Korean American.
Representing my culture in the NFL as a Korean American
is incredibly important. I see the steady increase in Asian
representation across this league and the normalization of cultural differences
(34:41):
and diverse lived experiences. When you see others that look
like you living out their professional dreams, you start to
believe it yourself, that anything is possible.
Speaker 10 (34:51):
Food is very important.
Speaker 8 (34:52):
The matriarch of my family is my mother. Not only
she's a really great cook, she loves to cook. She
shows her love and expresses herself through food. Anytime my
mother would specifically ask what would you like for me
to cook for you, the answers one of two. Mandu
a Korean style egg roll.
Speaker 2 (35:12):
It can be filled.
Speaker 8 (35:14):
With any variety of ingredients. The other option is kimbab,
which is Korean style sushi rolls. So take out the
raw fish and insert either steak, egg, and other cooked ingredients.
If it's made with love, I say, there's no calories.
Good Morning Football is the production of the NFL in
partnership with iHeartRadio.
Speaker 2 (00:11):
JMFB on a Tuesday. We are all giddy because we just.
Speaker 3 (00:14):
Got to announce the International Games on NFL network.
Speaker 2 (00:17):
Breaking news. That was exactly right. It was almost like
we give everybody else permission now to discuss it. Sean Merriman,
Mitch Morris.
Speaker 3 (00:24):
Marcel Reese. This is our crew this week on GMFB.
We have the slate of International Games. We have a
guest coming up right now from the Colts.
Speaker 2 (00:33):
They are traveling abroad. Let's get it going. GMFB on
a Tuesday.
Speaker 3 (00:36):
What's hip, Good Morning Football, Good morning everybody, GMFB, it's happening.
We just announced the International Games for twenty twenty five.
(01:00):
Shall we take a gander at them again? Because one
of the most fascinating parts of it is that you
have a single team who was opting not only to
play in back to back weeks.
Speaker 2 (01:09):
But to jump countries to do so.
Speaker 3 (01:11):
The Minnesota Vikings in week four will travel to Dublin,
Ireland to take on the Pittsburgh Steelers. All these teams
that you're going to see on the right side of
your screen, they were already the designated home team. We
just revealed the opponents and when these games are going
to be played. So the Vikings got the Steelers in
week four in Dublin. Vikings will stay abroad and take
on the Cleveland Browns at Tottenham Hotsford Stadium the week
later Week four, Week five, in week six, so you
(01:33):
got two new teams coming to town in London at
Tottenham Hotspur in the Broncos and the Jets. Moving on
week seven, still in London, but now you're going to
go to Wembley to La Rams, going across the Pond
to take on the Jacksonville Jaguars.
Speaker 2 (01:47):
Great quarterback matchup there as.
Speaker 3 (01:49):
Well as young fifth defenses, and then come back home
for a beat. Then you're going to take your talents
to Berlin, Germany for the first time ever NFL regular
season game Falcons Colts in week ten. Michael Pennock junior
Anthony Richardson about to have a Colts player on the
show to discuss this matchup. By the way, week eleven,
(02:09):
let's take you to Madrid, Spain for the final international
regular season game to be played this upcoming season. It's
the Washington Commanders and Miami Dolphins played at the home
stadium where Real Madrid plays incredible, a couple of first
time evers for the NFL, which is a really cool
thing to be a part of. Those games can be
seen nine thirty am Eastern on NFL Network.
Speaker 2 (02:31):
It's quite the list.
Speaker 3 (02:33):
What stands out to you guys when we first revealed
them to you?
Speaker 2 (02:36):
Marsa, I'll start with you.
Speaker 4 (02:38):
So, first of all, there are some matchups to have
fireworks and must see TV written all over. But I
am going to go away from the teams in week
four and talk about the fans. Now, we are all
MMA fans here, yes, and we're getting Jamie involved too.
She's going to just start joining, start doing some jiu jitsu.
But Week four in Dublin, Ireland. Oh you don't know
(02:59):
how many fans that that stadium seats, but can you
imagine sixty thousand Connor McGregor personalities, one building, drink it
some proper twelve or whatever they do and watching some
good football. It is going to be unbelievable. That atmosphere
has to has.
Speaker 3 (03:17):
To be fireworks allegedly it's eighty two plus.
Speaker 2 (03:23):
Good morning everybody.
Speaker 4 (03:25):
I mean, unbelievable atmosphere. That's going to be fun. For everyone,
especially the players.
Speaker 2 (03:28):
Absolutely, Mitch, what do you got?
Speaker 5 (03:31):
I'm going to go to the game itself. Like you said,
fireworks all about these international games. The one that's going
to stand out to me is for the matchup week six,
the Jets versus the Broncos. Listen, one of the teams
is going to stay at the Grove, beautiful establishment, amazing food,
tremendous hospitality, and then the other is going to stay
(03:53):
at Hanbury Mariner that's got a lot of history, but
they're going to take the bus there. They're going to
go through these, you know, really little small town field,
boarded up houses sometimes, and then right there is this
monstrosity of a stadium, a beautiful thing. And then what
you're gonna see is two defensive teams go to war.
(04:13):
And by week six, we're gonna see what Aaron Glenn
has got in the Jets. We're gonna see what Justin
Field is rocking with, and we're gonna see if bow
Nickson that Denver defense is going to continue what they
were doing for the least the back half, if not
the whole year of the season. So I'm really looking
forward to seeing those two teams go after it and
see if those two teams can't get their offenses going
against them established monsters on defense.
Speaker 3 (04:35):
If I remember correctly, the last year's regular season game
between the Broncos and the Jets was like an absolute stinker.
I think it was like a ten to nine game
in the rain.
Speaker 2 (04:43):
It was terrible.
Speaker 3 (04:44):
We hope for a better one for the international audience experience, Sean,
what do you.
Speaker 6 (04:48):
Got, Well, i'm'll go here because I think this is
the first time we're seeing a team stay over at
multiple times, like play back back. But there's one team
in particular that seems to play across seas a lot
next to Jacksonville jack Art against the Rams. I'm looking
for that matchup. But more importantly, we talked about the
NFL expansion. They say more and more international games. We're
seeing for the first time that a team is staying
(05:10):
over there, playing back to back, getting you.
Speaker 7 (05:11):
Know, kind of planting the seed over.
Speaker 6 (05:13):
There a little bit back to back to back. So
I'm not too big of my conspiracy theres but we
just keep seeing one team in particular spend more time
overseas than everyone else, and so I got my eyes
out of it.
Speaker 2 (05:26):
It's all about the marketing.
Speaker 3 (05:27):
FOOTI you know there have been a couple of games
played in Munich, Germany. There's also one a couple of
years back played in Frankfurt. But now, for the first
time ever, the NFL is going to Berlin and the
Colts are the home team. And now we have a
friend of our show, Kenny Moore, joining us from the
Indianapolis Colts.
Speaker 2 (05:44):
Kenny, what's going on? How are you this morning?
Speaker 7 (05:47):
Doing?
Speaker 2 (05:48):
Great?
Speaker 7 (05:48):
Good morning? How you doing?
Speaker 2 (05:49):
We're so good.
Speaker 3 (05:50):
We're kind of giddy with all this information and the
fact that we know now the teams and the opponents
that will be playing abroad. You are week ten assignment
with the Atlanta Falcons and Berlin, Germany.
Speaker 2 (06:02):
I know you already knew.
Speaker 3 (06:03):
The travel happening, but now you know the opponent and
just the reality of the situation.
Speaker 2 (06:08):
How amped are you.
Speaker 1 (06:10):
Very It'll be my first time, second time over in
Germany playing the game November ninth, looking forward to it,
be able to tell the guys in the locker room.
So I was just in Berlin actually a couple of
weeks ago. I was able to playing a couple of
seats over there. We did about four cities in ten days,
and we went to Berlin. We actually stayed in Berlin
(06:32):
the most, and we did an academy over there. You
know some football camps that I do every single year.
Able to start a football academy over in Berlin, did
the same thing in Frankfurt, the city that we played
two years ago. So able to meet a lot of
great people and spread the love of football.
Speaker 7 (06:49):
Kitty, it's Sean.
Speaker 6 (06:50):
Murriman, hit Man. How was that an atmosphere compared to
Lucas Oil Stadium? Are the fans are just wow?
Speaker 8 (06:55):
Like?
Speaker 7 (06:56):
How does it feel? What's the atmosphere like?
Speaker 1 (06:59):
It's actually very interesting. They know a lot about football,
more about football that you think than you think. We
all know that they have the passion of to us
a soccer and that passion that they have with soccer,
they have the same passion with American football and able
to share that love and more insight and just seeing
them in the flesh, I think it did a wonders
(07:20):
for them and it did a lot for me as well,
so I'm able to see the same fans this stuff
coming far.
Speaker 4 (07:27):
Hey Kenny Marcel Reese here, now, I'm sure you've mastered
a few German words because you were just out there
announcing the Colts fifth round pick running back DJ Giddons.
Speaker 7 (07:36):
What was that experience like for you, the draft pick? Yeah,
it was it was great.
Speaker 1 (07:45):
I mean I started a little bit because it was
freaking freezing at night, and so I don't know if
I would sign up for that, but yeah, it was
a great time. It was a great time being out there.
You see me on the standing down on the statue.
But it was great being there with the coach, Chileaders,
being there with family, you know, being there with the
(08:07):
familiar faces, being able to share in love with them,
being there with the former cult with Beyond, and you know,
Blue was always being crazy, so there's nothing new to us.
Speaker 3 (08:15):
It wasn't much warmer in Green Bay, Kenny, So you
didn't miss much.
Speaker 2 (08:18):
You're good. You would have been dressed the same and
you would have been just as Chile if you had
done that pick.
Speaker 5 (08:22):
You're saying actually got no sleeves, which was a little
bit alarming.
Speaker 7 (08:26):
Kenny.
Speaker 5 (08:26):
You talked about planning the seed over there with some
of their youth camps over in Frankfurt and Berlin. My
question to you is how is the youth over there
taking on I would say football a and not soccer football.
Speaker 1 (08:41):
B Well, I think the I think the first step
for going to to do you know, football academies and
doing drills is to give them some football cleats. They're
all in soccer and cleaves. They're all in some cleats
that's different than what we use. So we'll have to
you know, get them right with some football cleach next time.
Speaker 6 (09:02):
Uh.
Speaker 1 (09:03):
It was great though, you know it always does. You know,
they aren't as I guess equipped athletically and you know,
information wise on on the game, but they're all so
excited and they're also inspired inspired to learn a game
of football. And you know, I think doing anything great,
(09:25):
you got to have to want to and I think
they really do have they want to of doing it.
So it just pumped me up to be able to
be there as a coach just being at one percent
for them, and I'm sure it'll be a lot more
help to come.
Speaker 2 (09:37):
Kenny, it's awesome to have you on.
Speaker 3 (09:39):
We love when you joined GMFF, but now GMP has
kind of become this grassroots marketing program for getting Indianapolis
colts on television.
Speaker 2 (09:47):
We've had Nick Cross on.
Speaker 3 (09:49):
Cambine Them's constantly on the show. Are you going to
engage in the Cambuye Them celebration organization. And do you
think that will translate in Germany?
Speaker 1 (09:59):
Oh, for sure, I know that they'll all be excited
to see a celebration. We we got to come up
with a takeaway to be able to dance. But I'm
waiting to see what cam Bonham has up his sleeves,
and so I'm pretty sure everybody is waiting for that
for that moment.
Speaker 7 (10:15):
And I'm sure we'll.
Speaker 1 (10:17):
Have to get the practice, probably a lot of practice
with my teammates, so we'll see how coordinated everybody is.
Speaker 3 (10:24):
Yeah, absolutely, well, I have to I have some concern though,
you see more willing to do it than Nick Cross,
your teammate. He was on for an entire week with us,
and he says, I'm not sure if you can convince
me to do this celebration with Cambina. But also, what
do you make of Nick Cross recreating this viral morning
preparation routine?
Speaker 1 (10:42):
Very interesting, but this is very Nick Crossing going into
a tea.
Speaker 7 (10:46):
This is very him.
Speaker 1 (10:50):
It's a little much for me, but you know, to
each his own.
Speaker 5 (10:54):
You guys are get enough hell on the locker room,
aren't you.
Speaker 7 (10:56):
Yeah?
Speaker 2 (10:57):
For sure until he picks up those chains.
Speaker 3 (10:59):
It was a ridiculous video, but we appreciated him being
on and you, Kenny, as always, you're awesome. We cannot
wait to hear you lead the crowd in Germany country
roads singing along.
Speaker 7 (11:12):
Thank you appreciated.
Speaker 3 (11:14):
Yep, definitely, we'll see you next season, kennymore, stay stay
healthy and we'll talk to you again when the schedule
is released.
Speaker 2 (11:19):
Did we just do that? No, the rest is coming
on Wednesday night. So busy this morning.
Speaker 3 (11:28):
I'm so distracted with the International Games that we just
announced on GMFB. But let's center ourselves, ground ourselves back
here Stateside and focus on the New York Giants and
the rest of the teams that are engaging in Rookie
Mini camp right now as we welcome in Tom Pillicero
to GMFB.
Speaker 2 (11:44):
Tom, Good morning to you.
Speaker 3 (11:45):
We saw the Giants trade back into the first round
at last month's draft to retain the services of quarterback
Jackson Dart. What have the Giants seen from him thus
far in Rookie minni Caamp?
Speaker 7 (11:57):
Well, Jamie.
Speaker 9 (11:57):
The Giants were on twenty six teams that concluded the
rookie Mini camps over the weekend, and coach Brian Babel,
as is his or was mostly positive and frankly a
little bit generic in terms of what he saw from
Jackson Dart and the rest of the players. Now, we
did compliment Jackson Dart in terms of how he'd approached
things in terms of his leadership crates in terms of
how he handled.
Speaker 7 (12:17):
His business through the course of the week.
Speaker 9 (12:19):
As Nabel said, we're not running any exotic coverage or
having a pass rusher pressure.
Speaker 7 (12:22):
Sure there will be time to develop that.
Speaker 9 (12:24):
Well we've asked him to do, and how he's gone
about a business as a young pro at that position
is important.
Speaker 7 (12:29):
Now we know that the Giants'.
Speaker 9 (12:31):
Brain trust has been on the record saying Brian dabeles
specifically Russell Wilson will be the starting quarterback. Now, that
is how the depth chart is going to line up
now that the veterans and the rookies integrate together in
the off season program.
Speaker 7 (12:45):
Ota is still a couple of weeks away.
Speaker 9 (12:47):
When those begin, you can anticipate it will be Russell
Wilson as the number one quarterback, Jameis Winston quite possibly
as the two in Jackson Dart as the three.
Speaker 7 (12:54):
But anytime we're talking about.
Speaker 9 (12:55):
A first round drafted quarterback, particularly on a team that's
got a couple of veterans on one year deals. This
is going to be one of the fascinating quarterback story
lines were following all the way through training camp in
the preseason.
Speaker 2 (13:07):
Jamie I liked how you use that word.
Speaker 3 (13:09):
When the teams integrate together and the rookies and the
veterans all of a sudden, it might become very apparent
or convincing that Jackson Dart should be the guy eventually.
What is the philosophy for the Giants when it comes
to Jackson Dart. Is this a we'll wait and see
or are they a true red shirt rookie season kind
of team.
Speaker 9 (13:29):
Well, listen, they haven't been in this position with this
brain trust before. The Daniel Jones pick was from a
prior regime. Obviously, they won a lot of games with him.
In Brian daviles first season, they went to the playoffs,
they won a playoff game in Minnesota. Then things went
another direction after they had retained Daniel Jones prior to
him hitting free agency. This is the first time that
they have hand picked their quarterback and it is Jackson Dart.
(13:52):
We know that they did all the homework on all
those other quarterbacks that potentially they could have taken. They
came to the conclusion that Jackson Dart had certain traits
that they were looking for. Among them, he had layers
to his game, the fact that he's a bigger, stronger
quarterback who you can run some Reid option with, you
can run RPOs, you could do some of the things
that we've seen in Brian Dables' offenses have been at
(14:13):
their best with guys like Josh Allen in Buffalo and
Daniel Jones that first year with the Giants. You're probably
not at this state to Russell Wilson's career exposing him
in those types of run elements. You're certainly not exposing
James Winston to as a runner of the football. And
so that's gonna be one of the interesting things here
is did Jackson Dart show enough through the preseason that
they really have to think about it again. What they're
(14:34):
saying as of now is Russell Wilson's the guy that
is the plan. But anytime you draft a quarterback in
the first round, Jamie, there is some inherent pressure, particularly
if things don't come out of the gate hot with
whatever veterans in the lineup.
Speaker 3 (14:46):
Well, whatever has been happening at Rocky Minnicamp, Tom, it's
working for the Giants because the fans are absolutely buzzing,
not only about Jackson Dart, but the rest of the
names that the team drafted. In the first couple of
rounds between Abdul Carter, Cam Skataboo, the fans are jacked
up with some energy.
Speaker 2 (15:01):
So the Giants are competing.
Speaker 3 (15:03):
Now in a division that bullsey reigning Super Bowl champion.
They're trying to fix some things on both sides of
the ball. What do we make of this twenty twenty
five Giants rookie class and how it integrates itself, Marcel
into what the Giants are trying to do.
Speaker 7 (15:18):
I was impressed with the Giants draft. I thought they
did a.
Speaker 4 (15:21):
Fantastic job of one addressing immediate needs and Jackson Dart
was a great pick for them.
Speaker 7 (15:28):
He's going to learn for an entire year, and.
Speaker 4 (15:30):
Russell Wilson is the first is one of the best
people that he can actually learn from, because, like Tom referenced,
the traits and layers to Jackson Dart's game are really
similar to how Russell started his started his career the
read option, the RPOs getting the ball out on time,
scheduled throws, keeping staying above the change. But abdul Carter
(15:53):
I spent some time, a lot of time the full
season last year with the Big Tens.
Speaker 2 (15:56):
Do you work for pretenant work each ching Penn State?
Speaker 7 (15:59):
It was. He is a man amongst men.
Speaker 4 (16:03):
He is an imposed figure and force on the football field,
covering the Fiesta Bowl and spending some time with their
head coach at over at Penn State. And he is
he speaks volumes about his leadership, James James Franklin, he speaks,
thank you, Jamie. It speaks volume about his leadership and
(16:23):
just wrecking practices. Admit, you know when d Lineman wreck practices,
it's miserable for an offense.
Speaker 7 (16:29):
And he's going to do that in the games.
Speaker 5 (16:30):
Yeah, no, it's terrible.
Speaker 7 (16:35):
Tim Yeah.
Speaker 5 (16:37):
For me, it took watching two plays of abdul Carter
and I was sold. I mean that's an easy you
know whatever was it picked three right there. The interesting
thing for me is I spent some time with Brian
day Ball and Buffalo. What Tom was talking about in
regards to you know, day Ball gave this you know,
generic answer that's I'm telling you behind. That's not Dayball
(16:57):
behind closed doors, and he's on fire. And the nice
thing is he truly does care about relationships and building
those and garnering those. But when good times are good, great,
when bad times aren't going well and halftime, watch out
for the iPad's flying. But that being said, he's a
good man. He's an amazing football coach and offensive mind.
And he's also in his past not afraid to change
(17:18):
things up and against what the quote unquote status quote
is or what people think is going to happen. To
your point, I pray that Jackson dar gets a whole
year behind Russell Wilson. It's just the logical thing. But
wouldn't be surprised if the Holy Spirit tells Brian dave
Ball it's time to get this thing going, put him in,
and he really doesn't care about the outside opinion or
(17:41):
what he thinks going on.
Speaker 6 (17:42):
You know, I got a chance to talk to Brian
day Bolt down at the East West Ryan Bowl doing
the practices and spend some time with him, And.
Speaker 7 (17:47):
Believe it or not, yes, they were looking at your doorstanders.
They were spend a lot of.
Speaker 6 (17:50):
Time looking at your door whether they want to say
that publicly or not.
Speaker 7 (17:53):
They were looking at your door.
Speaker 6 (17:54):
But when we were speaking, he was actually closer to
the D line, watching the D lineman in O line
pass rushing drills. So they were looking at guys on
the defense. So when they drafted up dual Card, I
knew that the mentality there was to go defense first.
Let's get the best guy off of the board. Also,
I believe that Bill Carter is going to be defensive
rookie the year.
Speaker 7 (18:11):
He has that type mentality.
Speaker 6 (18:12):
Now, oh yeah, oh yeah, not number fifty six talent,
but I think he is.
Speaker 7 (18:17):
He will be the defensive rookie of the year.
Speaker 6 (18:19):
And just what he can do on the field right now,
he can put him on there and he can learn
everything else. A guy that does that explosive you can
put them on the field. He's going to make plays regardless.
And I just like this kid's mentality. I know there
was a little bit eager, a little bit aggressive the
go next for Lawrence Taylor's jersey, but I like his
confidence and I think he's going to go out there
and be the best defensive rookie the this year.
Speaker 4 (18:39):
This is what I'll say about that Sean, because I
do agree with you, but there's going to be an
onus on the New York Giants coaching staff to try
to maximize that rookie year by expediting the learning curve
that comes with being in the.
Speaker 7 (18:53):
National Football League.
Speaker 4 (18:54):
You can be good, you could be explosive, you could
be strong, but there's something different being blocked by a
college guy and Mitch here right, there's little tricks to
the trade. There are things that he is going to
have to learn, and that rooky learning curve is huge, right,
So maximizing that means not worrying about the sac numbers
and more so worrying about the impact on the game.
(19:16):
And I think if they do that during training camp,
make that training camp hard and grueling for him early
on in training camp, and I think that he is
going to have a fantastic season.
Speaker 3 (19:25):
And not so sneaky thing about the Giants, though, is
that it would be hard if you were a rookie
and you were aubdu carter in that position, and you
were entering a defense and you were the only dude.
Last year, I had the Giants game in Munich, Germany.
They were playing the Panthers and the Giants being the
home team, they had a lot of the marketing traits
you know, around the city.
Speaker 2 (19:42):
And we went to effectively like.
Speaker 3 (19:44):
The hard Rock Cafe of munich And for an event,
and the Giants they had all these big, like six
and a half foot you know, fat head type stand
up posters of all the players. And I'm walking around
the restaurant with Kurt Warner and we're looking at you know,
Dexter Lawrence, Brian Burns, Tyrone Tracy. You're like, this team
has some dudes on it, why aren't they? And clearly
(20:05):
they were just missing a couple of pieces, whether it
be the quarterback. When you look at this draft class,
Lakah Jackson dart like an obdual Carter like a Camp Scattago.
Speaker 7 (20:15):
All of a.
Speaker 3 (20:15):
Sudden, does a rookie injection of energy change the tenor
of a building?
Speaker 2 (20:20):
Ken three guys.
Speaker 3 (20:22):
Maybe with you don't know what you don't know kind
of energy in the NFL? Can that change what the
Giants have going on?
Speaker 7 (20:28):
Absolutely? It is.
Speaker 4 (20:30):
It's the It's the innocence, if you will, of being
a rookie. When you have that innocence, you come in
and you're optimistic about everything. When you've been in the NFL,
just like you've for a long time. Just like any business,
you can become a bit jaded if you will. But
when you're talking about excited rookies and most of them
(20:50):
with a chip on the shoulder, Abdul Carter was drafted high,
but he still has a chip on his shoulder.
Speaker 7 (20:56):
He operates with a chip on his shoulder.
Speaker 4 (20:58):
Camp Scattabo has an absolute chip on his shoulder, and
he outplays his statue, his athleticism, he outplays that and
that type of those types of traits and intellgibles can
be infectious.
Speaker 6 (21:10):
And I think too if you look at just this
defense in general, we're talking about a dual card. They
got some mother dogs out there that made Thibodeau. They have,
they got talent on this defense. So as you said,
he's not going to have to come out and be
the guy early on, and he just made benefit by
having someone on the opfoice site we.
Speaker 7 (21:27):
Talked about pre show.
Speaker 6 (21:28):
I had somebody on the off side of me and
Sean Phillips who was able to take some of this
pressure off that when they started a fan protection, the
slab protection and chipping off of the edge, well they
got to pick that poison week in a week out,
and I think automatically that will put that will put
out dual Carter in a.
Speaker 7 (21:41):
Position to win.
Speaker 4 (21:42):
I love chipping Sewn by the way, that's on the
blind side, right on his right shoulder when he's.
Speaker 7 (21:47):
Engaged with the tackle.
Speaker 3 (21:48):
You weren't distracted by Sean Jones. You were focused on
making sure you chipped him. Yeah, yeah, absolutely, I bet
if you're a center, we're going to get into that conversation.
Worried as a center though, can you imagine popping your
head up and trying to assess and help your quarterback
behind you and say, oh, there's Thibodeau, No, no, there's
Abdul Carter. Oh nope, there's dexter Lawrence. What do you
(22:09):
do in circumstances like that?
Speaker 5 (22:11):
Well, for the fat head thing when you were overseas,
I don't know how much cardboard they use for dexterra on.
He is, first of all an elite player. Yes, a
game wrecord hard to see past. But also to your point,
who are you gonna someone's gonna have to block one
on one? And I think the thing about defense, especially
(22:32):
on the offensive side, it's to see how infectious playmaking gifts.
How these disrupting plays, and that's not not only sex. Honestly,
is an offensive guy when you see a defense get
excited about tackle for loss or a one yard game
more so than sex.
Speaker 7 (22:46):
That makes sense.
Speaker 5 (22:46):
But you see those guys rally up, pick each other up,
talk a little smack. It is infectious. And I think
if those rookies just take their time, make these relationships,
show that these play this playmaking ability, of course, is
going to happen. It's gonna be a real problem.
Speaker 3 (23:00):
I liked what you referenced about your time spent in
Buffalo and you what you know Brian Dable on how
he runs an offense. Now, everyone's talking about what Russell
Wilson was when he entered the NFL, But what about
what Josh Allen does with his size and his build.
I'm not saying Jackson Dart is that Just relax for
a second. I'm just saying what Brian Dable and how
he's able to manipulate an offense.
Speaker 2 (23:19):
To work with a big bodied quarterback.
Speaker 5 (23:21):
Well, I think the word you just manipulate an offense? Yeah,
I think when you have a guy who is mobile,
of course, you don't want to put him in too
many situations that they're going to get hit. Josh is
fairly robust. He's shown it also, knowing his personality, he
likes getting that first contact. By the way, Jackson Dart,
I mean, if that's the case, let him fly, dude,
let him get smacked once or twice. Talks and smack
(23:42):
get up. The thing that Dave Ball does very well
is know the pieces he has, working those around, making
them multiple. It's just everyone getting on track. Just give
Jackson Dart a little bit of time. I really hope
I don't see him too early in the season, and
then let the kid cook, you.
Speaker 7 (23:59):
Know, later on.
Speaker 3 (24:00):
I've never heard a kinder way to describe how Josh
Allen plaice quarterback than fairly Robut I mean that's perfect.
I know the compatriots at the table are impressed.
Speaker 6 (24:16):
It.
Speaker 3 (24:19):
This past weekend, that ever, Broncos in Minnesota Vikings hosted
their NFL Flag Regional tournament, with sixty three total teams
competing in eleven age groups. Nw C Blue Rangers out
of Wisconsin had an upset in the finals.
Speaker 2 (24:31):
A team from Wisconsin goes to.
Speaker 3 (24:33):
Minnesota, Come on, what are we doing in the finals
to punch there to get back to Canton. To find
the league near you, visit NFL flag dot com. All right,
with the state of the tush push in limbo, the
vote is still being withheld until the next NFL meeting.
I just got such a look from Mitch Morris about
the tush push that was.
Speaker 2 (24:52):
A side eye of all side eyes.
Speaker 3 (24:57):
Eagles owner Jeffrey Lourie is already looking to the future
by returning to the past.
Speaker 2 (25:03):
He joined to former.
Speaker 3 (25:05):
NFL fullback John Ritchie on w IP radio and said
that he wants to bring the position of the full
back back into the fold.
Speaker 10 (25:13):
I have a quick message for John. I miss you.
But also you know what we're gonna. We're gonna try
to quietly resurrect the full back position. Kevin Turner, yourself,
maybe maybe Ben can do some things here. We're gonna
we're gonna try for it. How's that?
Speaker 7 (25:27):
Thank you? Uh?
Speaker 4 (25:29):
And I really I really do think there's a place
for the full coming back.
Speaker 7 (25:34):
We all will, don they all do? Yes?
Speaker 3 (25:37):
Was that just like an open love letter to Marcel
Reese as well? And we quote, we are going to
try to resurrect the full back position. What do we
make of Jeffrey Laurie saying this as it relates to
the tushbush.
Speaker 2 (25:50):
I will start with you, Marcel.
Speaker 4 (25:52):
It's just a man who knows football, just knows ball.
Speaker 2 (25:56):
Say more things about it, though.
Speaker 7 (25:58):
Name.
Speaker 4 (26:00):
When's the last Super Bowl champion that didn't have a
fullback on the ross?
Speaker 2 (26:04):
Nice?
Speaker 7 (26:05):
That's a good point. I challenge anyone to name it.
Speaker 6 (26:08):
I just I just feel like the fullback position in
general is just what makes football football right. And I
played with the greatest my opinion, the greatest fullback of
all time.
Speaker 7 (26:16):
And your opinion is wrong. What's that? Your opinions wrong?
Speaker 2 (26:19):
Are it's starting?
Speaker 7 (26:22):
Who's it? Who is it? You're pointing at him?
Speaker 2 (26:26):
You were the greatest fullback of all time?
Speaker 7 (26:29):
Now hold on, we gotta take no no.
Speaker 4 (26:33):
I said this Lolo Neil Lorenzo O'Neil, So he's right.
Speaker 7 (26:38):
I got to give it to Lorenzo. I'm I'm.
Speaker 4 (26:45):
Neil, and I'm gonna text you later about this conversation. Actually,
Sean and I got to FaceTime you. I love you.
You taught me so many tricks. His wrestling maneuvers helped
turn me into the best fullback of my generation.
Speaker 6 (26:58):
Yeah, and I had look, I had to see him
every day in practice, so we we had so many
big collisions that we had to come up with the
brother in law, right, you know in law. The brother
in law is when you got to make it to
the game, and that glorious.
Speaker 7 (27:12):
So you know, me and Loan Neil, we would clash
so much.
Speaker 6 (27:15):
We have so many big collisions in practice where we
would have to stop or someone wasn't going to make
it to the game. So every time we get about
a yard or two from each other, we just stop
and pull up and we just kind of almost embrace
and say, okay, we're in position. We're done, and the
coaches will say nothing to us because they know that
if they didn't scale us back, someone wasn't going to
make it to the game.
Speaker 2 (27:35):
We're calling it the.
Speaker 3 (27:35):
Brother in law because it's like you're married to my sister.
Speaker 2 (27:38):
I don't want to fight you, but I don't like you.
Speaker 4 (27:41):
So this is this is pre CBA talk, right, This
is when you actually had padded practices and you had
to wear your mouthpiece and you were in full pad.
We are not wearing sweats and T shirts and I'd
be looking at me. But when you think about it,
when you play the full back position that way, the
(28:01):
way low Neil played, and he played, you know, wildly
different than me. You know, you lose about three inches
on your hype because he will sit up there and
kiss defenders and I'm sure Sean Felton in practice, oh yeah,
putting your face mask under their face mask and driving
everybody's And I just think with the full back position
in general, a mentality is established.
Speaker 6 (28:24):
Right when you got somebody back there, you know they're
running a ball. They can be lining up in a
power set or some I form. You know they're running
up the football downfield, and it just establishes who it is.
And I'm gonna tell you this, Guys like say Kwon
Barkley is the reason why the running back position is
going to come back around. The reason why the fullback
position is going to come back around, because teams that
can win late in the season can run the football.
And I think that everyone's starting to see that. But
(28:44):
one hundred percent, the full back position should be back
in place, one hundred no, no doubt.
Speaker 4 (28:48):
And I think it goes beyond just on field play.
When yes, when you talk about a fullback, right it's
what we call a thankless position. Yes, we go in
the locker room with the mindset is my first thing
that I'm going to do is be the best teammate
I can possibly be. I'm gonna know everyone's position, everyone's responsibility.
I'm gonna I'm gonna pride myself on being the smartest
(29:08):
guy on the field and be able to besides the
center because the center, we have the center's back.
Speaker 7 (29:13):
Right, if the center is.
Speaker 4 (29:15):
Busy handling a double team, I'm gonna have his back
to make sure that I clean up anything that he
can't see, right, because he has to have his head down.
Speaker 7 (29:23):
So that's what a fullback is.
Speaker 4 (29:25):
And when you go into a locker room or a
game and I see you alec Ingold, my little brother
who who I tried to take on a role of
load Neil for him and Kyle Hughescheck, who is fantastic
at what he does. Honestly, no one plays the positions
like low Neil. To your point, he is the best
at defense. Its Bonta Leech another good one that we
have to give a ton of props to.
Speaker 7 (29:46):
So you know you mentioned Sherm earlier. He had the
who was great.
Speaker 5 (29:51):
At what he did as well, and he was a
total tone center in the locker room. The fullbacks I've
been around to your point, and the locker room made
almost as big of an impact as they did on
the you know, on the field.
Speaker 7 (30:01):
He was a towne center.
Speaker 5 (30:02):
He's the reason why I'm bald, because not because of
the quarters all level or me losing my hair. But
I show up as a rookie and he goes, hey,
you would really look good bald. I'm like, oh, that'd
be great, that's cool. Next day I show up, he goes,
you're not bald. I'm like, oh yeah. And then the
next day I show up and in so many words
I can't say, he's like, you're gonna be bald tomorrow,
(30:22):
rams and problems. And the next day I show up,
I just shaved my head. I don't raise it, and
he goes, what part of being bald? Do you not understand?
I'm still having my suit because my bags were lost.
I'm calling my mom again. And then the next day
I finally, me and the whole rookies we go shave
it and he goes, there you go, and you know
what the whole thing was. The whole day got complimented
for being bald and how much were better luck? He
(30:43):
was looking out for me in his own special way,
which was sharing me dating your own way, and we
needed you in that locker room.
Speaker 2 (30:48):
Pal, What a strange.
Speaker 3 (30:49):
Love language between you and fullbacks, centers and fullbacks, Oh,
centers in full back centers and fullbacks. Can we go
back to so I'm looking at my camera here, I
just utter the words tush, push and can you just
look at me again the same way you did.
Speaker 7 (31:04):
It was.
Speaker 5 (31:08):
About the fact that you can't ban a play because
a team's so good at it.
Speaker 7 (31:11):
Thank you. That's insane. Stop being solved.
Speaker 5 (31:14):
You know what, Why has it not no other teams
able to do it effectively? I mean, uh, you see,
I would say the Bills were to a certain point.
Of course, you're going to talk about that fourth down
play that we got to last year. But they are
just so dynamic at it. It's so unique. And you know,
if they do it in third and one and for
some god forsaken reason, which doesn't happen, they get stopped,
it's not going to get stop again. I mean, honestly,
(31:37):
they could do it down the whole field, but you
cannot tell me you're going to ban a play because
you're someone is so dang good at.
Speaker 7 (31:45):
Because you can't stop it.
Speaker 2 (31:46):
It's ridiculous, Sean, How do you stop it?
Speaker 7 (31:48):
Yeah?
Speaker 6 (31:49):
I mean, look, somebody got a copycat league, right, so
someone has to go out there. Once they figure out
how to stop it, then everyone else will. But until then,
I just don't believe in removing anything because it's like
it's like playing a video game. Somebody's running the same
play over and over again. Well, how about you stop it.
You can't sit your team game.
Speaker 7 (32:04):
You got to.
Speaker 6 (32:04):
So I think that until someone goes out there and
does something to stop it, it's going to keep happening.
We've seen this happen before with other plays, right when
they start running wildcat and they start doing different things
RPO action. Well, when you start hitting the quarterback of
those RPO actions when they're doing too much wildcat and
you start hitting guys and they got out of that skin.
But until you stop it, I don't believe that they
(32:26):
should make a rule on it.
Speaker 4 (32:27):
It's going to take someone in their division to find
one of those big nose tackles.
Speaker 7 (32:32):
Three fifty plus. A lot of the.
Speaker 4 (32:33):
Around, a lot of says like one of depot from
the sheet, Like, find one of those tone setters that's
going to line up right ahead of the center yep,
and drive him off the ball. That's what it's going
to take. So when you know it, you know it's coming.
So when you see it, see it coming, you go
stop it. That's what it's going to take.
Speaker 3 (32:53):
Didn't We just have this conversation about with the Giants
did with their draft and their defense and the fact
that you could have Dexter Laurence standing there and maybe
he just had too much of a workload in the past,
and now he's got out Dual Carter standing there and
he's got Brian Burns behind him, maybe the Giant. So like,
we'll do it, We'll stand up and stop the toush push.
Speaker 2 (33:11):
Can a team accomplish it?
Speaker 7 (33:12):
Well?
Speaker 5 (33:12):
I would just say when we play the Philadelphi Eagles
and it was fourth and one, the offense, you know,
the opposing offense usually gets up and they get ready.
We wouldn't even get off the bench because the likelihood
of it being stopped was almost zero. Yeah, Like you
have to get big bodies. You see some teams kind
of turning their shoulders, you know, they got the rugby
(33:33):
folks in there to teach them. You got to get
the rugby folks to teach, you know, and turn out
to a true scrama.
Speaker 7 (33:38):
Yeah, you're right.
Speaker 5 (33:39):
Listen, I'm not going to solve it. No one else has.
It'll be a beautiful thing when it's figured out at
some point.
Speaker 3 (33:44):
The international influence on the tush push is felt to
your point about the Rugby incorporation of it.
Speaker 2 (33:51):
And we just.
Speaker 3 (33:51):
Announced soli our International Games here on GMF that you'll
see on NFL network next to all the Colts.
Speaker 2 (33:56):
Are playing in Germany.
Speaker 3 (33:57):
For the Colts, Jasmine Park, food made with love is
food free of guilt and full of meaning. This Asian American, Native,
Hawaiian and Pacific Islander Heritage Month, she's probably embracing her
heritage and using her voice to build connections and cultural
understanding through meaningful Asian representation.
Speaker 2 (34:18):
I'm Jasmine Park.
Speaker 8 (34:19):
I'm the vice president of People, Culture and Inclusion for
the Indianapolis Cults, and I am a first generation Korean American.
Representing my culture in the NFL as a Korean American
is incredibly important. I see the steady increase in Asian
representation across this league and the normalization of cultural differences
(34:41):
and diverse lived experiences. When you see others that look
like you living out their professional dreams, you start to
believe it yourself, that anything is possible.
Speaker 10 (34:51):
Food is very important.
Speaker 8 (34:52):
The matriarch of my family is my mother. Not only
she's a really great cook, she loves to cook. She
shows her love and expresses herself through food. Anytime my
mother would specifically ask what would you like for me
to cook for you, the answers one of two. Mandu
a Korean style egg roll.
Speaker 2 (35:12):
It can be filled.
Speaker 8 (35:14):
With any variety of ingredients. The other option is kimbab,
which is Korean style sushi rolls. So take out the
raw fish and insert either steak, egg, and other cooked ingredients.
If it's made with love, I say, there's no calories.
