Speaker 1 (00:04):
Good Morning Football is the production of the NFL in
partnership with iHeartRadio.
Speaker 2 (00:09):
Welcome to JMSB. My name is mj Acosta Ruiz right
here in La holding it down with Isaiah.
Speaker 3 (00:15):
Stand Back and former wide.
Speaker 2 (00:17):
Receiver Matthew Hatchett aka only known as Hatch thirty, and
of course, the one and only Kyle Brandt hanging out
in New York.
Speaker 1 (00:25):
Good morning, cops, Good morning. I am so excited. Programming note,
we're going to do all two hours reacting to Aaron
Rodgers Prescott commercial breaks, and we're doing two hours after that.
We're going to do it all week. It is so fun.
Let's get after it. Good Morning Football. We got lots
to talk about.
Speaker 4 (00:40):
Let's go good morning.
Speaker 2 (00:57):
Come on in, come on in, join us here at
the breakfast table. We love it. I cannot eat this early,
but we have been eating the dance moves all morning long.
And I say morning, but really it is the middle
of the night here in Los Angeles.
Speaker 5 (01:12):
But we love it.
Speaker 2 (01:13):
That's how we stay hiped. Kyle of course, always jumping in,
no matter if he's three thousand miles away.
Speaker 3 (01:18):
The miles don't matter, Kyle.
Speaker 2 (01:20):
We're here.
Speaker 5 (01:21):
We're a team.
Speaker 2 (01:22):
But we are going to start.
Speaker 1 (01:23):
We're a team. We have lots to talk about. For
some reason, right before the show started, Isaiah Standback says, hey,
KB who in the nineties had the best hip gyrations,
And I was like, are you talking about a players? Like,
what are we talking about here? This is how the
show's going to be today.
Speaker 6 (01:38):
We thought you were going to go with new kids
on the block.
Speaker 2 (01:39):
That was our guest to qualify that question so quickly immediately.
But maybe Pittsburgh will give us a little bit more
to talk about on that and that is where we
start in our lead block. Pittsburgh opened mandatory mini camp Tuesday,
with four time MVP Aaron Rodgers taking part in his
first practice as Steelers QB one. Afterwards, he met with
(02:00):
the media and was actually a bit confused when asked
if offensive coordinator Arthur Smith has to call a Rogers
style offense.
Speaker 7 (02:09):
I don't understand that last term takeover when I see fit.
I mean, I've called some two minutes over the years,
but the idea that somehow I need to or have
spent most of my career playing outside of an offensive
system is just not correct. So I'm gonna learn the
offense and Arthur and I are going to talk a
bunch this summer and if there's things that I like
(02:29):
that i'd like to see in the offense, Arthur, I'm sure,
is going to put it in. But he knows how
to call a game. I know how to get us
in the right spot based on what's called. There's two
or three plays called in the huddle. Sometimes my jobs
get us in the right play. DK has been blowing
me up for a while. We got to get together
out West, but I've gone against him a number of times.
He's big, athletic, fast, got great hands, ball skills. But
(02:54):
the thing that really excites me the most is his character.
I think he's a high character guy, and.
Speaker 2 (03:00):
That is just scratching the surface of all we heard
from Aaron Rodgers yesterday the nice BF press conference. As
you should, folks have been waiting a long time for
this one. So your thoughts, guys on the first press conference,
Aaron Rodgers in a Steelers jersey. It's happening, hatch.
Speaker 5 (03:17):
I love it. I love it.
Speaker 6 (03:18):
I think what he said was what the outside noises
doesn't understand, right, the outside public, It's like the OC's
gonna call a game, right, but it's up to him
when a third and four, two minutes left in the game,
all of those situations are gonna come down to him saying, Okay,
we have a safety down the box that I like
my one on one matchup over here, I like this
(03:39):
over here on the backside. Those are the things he's
talking about, and that's what his experience is going to bring.
Author's gonna call it, you know, first quarter, second quarter,
but when it gets down to you know, crunch time,
he's going to have the answers to the test for sure.
Speaker 1 (03:50):
Now I completely agree with you.
Speaker 8 (03:51):
I mean, people need to understand that's about the position
of quarterback.
Speaker 1 (03:54):
It is in a very subrebral position.
Speaker 8 (03:56):
It's the reason why guys are good and some guys
are great. It's the distinguishing factor between those things. Aaron
Rodgers has been a run aka John Wick because he
understands everything that is presented in front of him. So
to your point, what he's referring to in terms of
putting the team in the right position, that is the
case you get two calls, you get three calls. Sometimes
you get up to the line of scrimmage. Sometimes what
(04:16):
you see at the line of scrims. I need to
change it. I need to communicate with my offensive line.
I need to communicate with my wide receivers, my tailback.
I need to make sure that everybody understands exactly what's
being presented, put us in the best position so that
we can go forward and have some success. The one
thing that I like in terms of takeaways from the
press conference was the fact that he said that I
needed to make sure that I was good. There were
some things that I was dealing with personally, so that
(04:37):
when I stepped foot here, I was fully present. I
respect that because of the fact that when I know
everybody right, you've been there, I assuming that I've been
there as well. When you have things going on in
your head and I can't be fully present, I can't
be the best for you, and I can't be the
best for this organization. So regardless of how people may
perceive Aaron Rodgers, I have a high regard for him
(04:58):
for checking that box and making sure that things at
home are good, because when I step on this field,
I am all in.
Speaker 5 (05:04):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (05:04):
Yeah.
Speaker 6 (05:05):
I think that what was going on the last two
months was a female in his life marriage right. He
just said he got married right, So that's a big deal.
Speaker 2 (05:13):
Well a life event.
Speaker 5 (05:14):
It's a life event.
Speaker 6 (05:15):
So that April in May, that's what he was doing,
and I'm like, okay, So he went away to go
do that, and everybob like, you know, you're subbably playing football,
Like no, I'm going to take care of my life,
you know.
Speaker 5 (05:24):
So I think it was a great decision for him
at this time.
Speaker 1 (05:27):
Unbelievably exciting. I got the top, guys. I love this stuff.
I think Rogers introductory press conferences are better than some
of the actual games that we have. I love it.
Remember when he comes to the Jets, he's going to Broadway.
He's doing this. There is no Broadway in Pittsburgh. He
is the Broadway. What we saw yesterday was the closest
we're going to get to. And to that point, I want,
(05:49):
ever want to get really comfortable because if he didn't
see it, I have a full rundown of all of
my favorites, all of my superlative So everybody buckle up
and get your popcorn. The most Rogers quote was quote
the decisions made from the soul are usually pretty fulfilling.
Only Aaron ra would say that the only quarterback in
the League, Netflix already working on a documentary called Decisions
(06:09):
from the Soul. The most loaded quote he says, there
were talks with other organizations. I think Rogers was extremely
interested in playing for the Rams. I think it was
close to happening.
Speaker 5 (06:18):
It did not.
Speaker 1 (06:19):
The closest thing to shade from Aaron Rodgers quote, there
are some iconic franchises in the NFL. I played for
one of them for eighteen years. This is another one.
He skipped two years in there when he played for
the Jets, who are not although he did say later
he was not going to take any shots in his
previous organization. This was great too, know your yensers. He
went up there and rattled off every single person in
(06:41):
his career who is from Pittsburgh. Mike McCarthy, Dom Caper's,
Frank Signetti, all the yinsers. He had that list ready.
It endears him too the room and endears him too
this city. He did his prep for that most crafty
answer why he wanted why he waited to sign You
mentioned this, mentioned dealing with things in his personal life,
and then said I didn't want to short change the
(07:02):
guys being signed, but elsewhere mentally. Very crafty meaning I
could have been here, but that wouldn't have been fair
to the guys. Next his no the room answer, he
used the term blue collar three times. Blue collar town, building,
the structure of this country, blue collar people. He could
have referenced Chico, he could have referenced Green Bay, but
(07:23):
de cappanting blue collar and it was smart. The one
answer I gotta call bs on when he says the
thing that excites him most about DK Metcalf as his character. Look,
I get DK Metcalf, they have some great character. Have
you ever seen him run here? I never seen him jump.
That's way more exciting. If you're a quarterback. I get
the character's fine, but there's no way that's what excites you.
(07:44):
The most best checkdown from Rogers, he was asked if
he can get the Steelers a playoff win for the
first time in years. He said, quote worm day one
a mini camp. He literally says, I'm taking it one
day at a time. And that's a guy who never
says that. Most random but relevant revelation in the middle
of the press conference. He hates his helmets. His old
helmet he's been working for twenty years is now Saliti's
(08:05):
not allowed to wear it. He says, I absolutely hate
this helmet. Keep an eye on that wrapping up here.
His shortest answer, Aaron, do you have any trepidation about
missing OTA's one word?
Speaker 6 (08:16):
No.
Speaker 1 (08:17):
His least favorite question we saw there was about freedom
to audible and quote take over the offense. He was like,
I don't really understand what that second term means. I've
done this, I've done that market. That was the one
question he hated and does not want to be asked again.
And then lastly, you can't be Rogers without just throwing
us one curveball or one up high and tight. The
(08:38):
full spit take moment. At eleven minutes into a thirteen
minute media session, he reveals I'm married. I've been married
for a couple of months, and everyone's like, what, We've
been following you for nearly a quarter century. We've seen
you in public relationships, and now you're just married with
a wedding ring on. There's no follow up about who
is she, where is she?
Speaker 5 (08:58):
What is she?
Speaker 1 (08:59):
There's nothing about that. It's just all of a sudden,
on top of this, I'm also married and I wear
a ring out on the damn practice field. There are
people wh don't want to see Rogers anymore. Who are
sick of Rodgers? Don't like Rogers. I will never get
sick of this. I think he's the most fascinating athlete
on the planet. Isn't even win a playoff game, who
the hell knows, but he's one for one at media sessions.
That's Broadway and Pitts brag. Absolutely love it.
Speaker 5 (09:20):
Now, there you go, there you go.
Speaker 2 (09:25):
Following the Tony's that was basically Tony Worthy married.
Speaker 5 (09:29):
Married.
Speaker 9 (09:30):
I want to like, guys know, we call that THEATA,
but it was, to your point, Kyle, a much more reflective,
a much more intentional Rogers than we've seen in the past.
Speaker 2 (09:41):
Marriage. Will jewelo something to somebody, won't it?
Speaker 1 (09:44):
Huh?
Speaker 2 (09:44):
But I did like that. The reporter who has him
was like, oh, everybody's chasing a ring. We noticed there's
a little bit more jewelry for you there, Aaron, what's
going on? He's like, oh, yeah, b T Dub's got hitched,
No big deal. But why was we need more details?
Speaker 5 (09:57):
Why was nobody's follow up question like, who is she?
Speaker 2 (10:00):
It's Brittany with than I that's a lesson Spears.
Speaker 3 (10:04):
No, it's very.
Speaker 2 (10:05):
Clear that it was not Britney Spear. Why he said,
Brittany with an eye.
Speaker 3 (10:08):
But even Brittany with an eye, who is this person?
Speaker 2 (10:10):
When he was on Pat McAfee, that's who he said
his lady was in his life back in November December.
He's like her Christmas gifts are delayed. It's for Brittany
and they're like Britney Spears. And he said, please me,
so for real, it's not Britney Spears.
Speaker 3 (10:24):
It's Brittany with an eye.
Speaker 1 (10:25):
Who you are, Brittany?
Speaker 8 (10:26):
You have wusaud Air.
Speaker 3 (10:28):
We loved it so much for and congratulations.
Speaker 2 (10:32):
But yes, he did have a ton to say, even
in those thirteen minutes. It was packed in there. So
let's listen to more from Aaron Rodgers on why he
chose to play for the Steelers.
Speaker 7 (10:41):
You know, I think it starts with Mike Tumblin and
then I've been a fan of his for a long time.
There's a few iconic franchises in the NFL. I played
for one of them for eighteen years. This is another
one of those. There's something special about, obviously, this area.
So many great quarterbacks are from Pittsburgh. I feel like
Pittsburgh has been a part of my career from the beginning. Again,
the rapport that fell in between me and Mike made
(11:04):
it to where as I was going through my personal stuff,
there wasn't any other option for me. It was here
and I.
Speaker 2 (11:10):
Played exactly as Kyle put it. Know, your audience creed
the room. Great response there, Isaiah, want to start with you,
because what do you think we'll see from this Rogers
Tomlin marriage if you will? Actually, he's they already got
no one marriage from this relation.
Speaker 1 (11:26):
Now.
Speaker 8 (11:26):
I look forward to this relationship simply because of the
fact that both of these guys are high level competitors.
When you look at coach Tomlin and people look at him,
they say, no, nonsense, it's because how intense he is. Right,
But one thing that you can't that you can't argue,
is that this dude is one heck of a competitor.
Speaker 1 (11:42):
As a coach.
Speaker 8 (11:43):
He always puts his teams in positions to go to
the playoffs, right, That's the thing that everybody says about him.
Speaker 1 (11:47):
But he's intense. You know, he loves a game.
Speaker 8 (11:49):
You know he wants his guys to go out there
and be hardcore and be physical with and it just
just just just have this this ethos about them.
Speaker 1 (11:56):
Aaron Rodgers is the same way. Yeah, Aaron Rodgers is
that guy. He's gonna run around and hit you in
the mouth.
Speaker 8 (12:00):
But one thing you fear about Aaron Rodgers is him
having a ball in his hand at the end of
the game.
Speaker 1 (12:04):
Why because he conducts this.
Speaker 8 (12:06):
He has this aura about him about how he goes
about his business. When he steps on the field, he
has an ambiance. When he steps in the locker room,
he steps in the meeting room, he has an understanding
and they have an understanding that he is the leader
in that room. There are some quarterbacks and I know
that you can probably speak to this as well, that
when they step in the room, you look at them,
you're like, okay, whatever, he's another guy, not Aaron Rodgers.
When Aaron Rodger steps in the room, everybody's like, all right,
(12:28):
let's listen up.
Speaker 1 (12:29):
What you have to say.
Speaker 8 (12:29):
We're all ears. We're tuned in with you. Because he
has that competitive nature, he has that command, and he
has that respect and regard from his teammates.
Speaker 5 (12:37):
And more importantly, he has that talent. Right, so we
already know again he's in the.
Speaker 6 (12:41):
Same vein as your Kobe. You're Jordan, You're Lebron a Rod.
It's all the same when it comes to his professionalism
and his talent. You have Tomlin and Rogers. It's really
going to be a poor man's Bellichick and Brady Right,
it's going to be for.
Speaker 5 (12:55):
A short period of time.
Speaker 6 (12:56):
But Tom's gonna get you so many wins because he's
a great coach, great organization, will get his players ready.
I just need a Rod to win those three or
four games is somewhere in Baltimore in December in a
playoff game where it's cold like those are the things.
Speaker 5 (13:09):
Going to matter when it comes down to that crunch time.
Speaker 6 (13:11):
But I think Tom's going to get them there to
get those nine ten wins.
Speaker 5 (13:15):
Like he always does.
Speaker 6 (13:16):
If a Rock can get us twelve thirteen in a
couple of playoff wins, they're exactly where they want to be.
Speaker 1 (13:19):
Yeah, I hear you what you're saying, And I just
want to go on record on June eleventh, as I
believe I believe in this. I believe this is going
to work, and by work, I mean a playoff win.
I don't know if it's multiple. I think that they will,
and it's going to be really hard to get to.
You remember, the schedule makers, who we love. They made
the Steelers' schedule based on Rogers being on the team.
They knew, we all knew. Do you understand, like how
(13:40):
interesting some of these matchups are going to be? Week one,
he's going to the Jets, He's going back into Matt Life.
Week one, he is also playing the Packers. He's also
going back to Soldier Field. This team, the Steelers, plays
the NFC North this year. So all those memories of
Rogers versus the Lions, Rogers versus it's all happening. Not
to mention, he faces Lamar, he faces Josh. It's like
(14:02):
it is going to be a huge Rogers year if
he can stay healthy. And I just think to put
a bow on last year. Last year, the Jets team
was not good. He was not an MVP level. But
just before you judge what he did last year when
he could do this year, look at last year's second half.
Look at this last seven games of Aaron Rodgers for
(14:22):
the Jets. The last seven games of a team with
an interim head coach and a fire GM that was
checked out mentally and not involved in any of the
standings conversations. Their forty year old quarterback in those seven games,
through thirteen touchdowns and four interceptions. He was playing very
very well on his second year, first year back from
an achilles injury. So I'm looking at the room. I'm
(14:45):
looking on how he finished last year, how he will
be healthier this year, how his team and his coach
will be better this year. I just want to say
it again June eleventh, play it back, December eleven, Play
it back January eleventh. I believe in this team. I
think the Steelers with Aaron Rodgers will win a playoff
game this year. Yep.
Speaker 6 (14:59):
And I think that's exactly what they mean by don't
worry about May, June, July. It's about November, December, January. Right,
It's not about the best team. It's about who's playing
the best. A rod knows the whole media thing and
how it goes. February wants you to do this in March,
and NFL network needs to talk about you in April,
(15:20):
you know, so come give us a He's like, I'm
not worried about that. Let me go do my thing.
I know I'm going to perform well because he's seen
it all. Right. There's not one defensive coordinator not one
defensive look, not one nickel blitz that he's never seen.
Speaker 1 (15:33):
So he's already head.
Speaker 6 (15:34):
Of the game when it comes to x's and o's.
Now he's just going to get his team ready for
the rest of the season.
Speaker 5 (15:38):
At the end of the season, no question.
Speaker 2 (15:40):
He's so used to that pressure. Right, you said of
Baltimore in December. I was in Baltimore in January. I'm
still fine from that game, all right. So from a
man who has already established as one of the greats
to one who's trying to make that name for him, say,
Quon Barkley has a lot of accolades twenty twenty four,
a p Offensive Player of the Year, two thousand yard rusher,
But is he one of the all time greats?
Speaker 3 (16:01):
Wait until you hear what our.
Speaker 2 (16:02):
Guys have to say about that, Kyle.
Speaker 3 (16:04):
What else is on the show today?
Speaker 1 (16:06):
All kinds of things. We're talking cowboys. We're talking cowboys
wide receiver, Jalen Tolbert. How's George Pickens fitting in? We
got to talk Pickens. It's been all about DK but
this guy's going to be electric to watch. How's Dak looking?
It's cowboys talk. We got whiteboard Wednesday coming up loaded,
show that they don't go anywhere.
Speaker 2 (16:31):
Good mon football. Today is Wednesday, and not one of
us were pink. But it's okay because it actually means
that we have our trustee whiteboards. Hey, Isaiah a veteran
at this game already, But Kyle, do you have any
advice for hatching?
Speaker 1 (16:48):
Yeah, we like to use this phrase. Hatch this right
here is your tapestry. Explore the space.
Speaker 2 (16:54):
Okay, use the whole field.
Speaker 1 (16:56):
Express yourself, personalize it, show off drawings, fonts, illustrations, doodles, whatever.
Go ahead and.
Speaker 5 (17:02):
Have a day on this thing.
Speaker 6 (17:03):
Okay, that helps me absolutely zero at all.
Speaker 5 (17:07):
Thank you.
Speaker 1 (17:07):
Okay, that's not.
Speaker 3 (17:09):
Coachable, absorbed, yes, fun, that.
Speaker 1 (17:13):
Hurts all right.
Speaker 2 (17:13):
So here we go round one of whiteboard Wednesday. There's
several high profile players not in camp right now as
they seek new contracts, but the Jets have full attendance
in phase three of OTA's So here's head coach Aaron
Glenn on all his players showing up.
Speaker 10 (17:29):
Well, first off, I can care less about other teams,
So I don't know what you're talking about with other
guys not holding out, But our guys are come to compete,
and that's who they are and listen. I don't take
that lightly either, so I'm appreciative. But I know how
they're built too, So those guys come to work all right.
Speaker 2 (17:47):
So described the twenty twenty five Jets in one word, Isaiah.
Speaker 1 (17:52):
I'm gonna rock with hopeful.
Speaker 3 (17:54):
Why is your penmanship so nice?
Speaker 8 (17:56):
Wownes?
Speaker 1 (17:58):
But I we're hopeful.
Speaker 8 (17:59):
I think they're very hopeful because of their leadership, not
even because of their players. No disrespect to the guys
that are on the field, no respect to the to
the guys that are gonna be out there making plays.
But I believe that Aaron Glenn is one heck of
a leader. And not only is he a leader, but
the staff that he's assembled, they do a great job
obviously of their coaching, but obviously leading these men that are.
Speaker 1 (18:21):
On the field.
Speaker 8 (18:21):
And I believe that coming off a five to twelve season,
I believe that, you know, obviously a change at the
head coach position, a change at the quarterback position, changing culture.
These guys are hopeful because they are going to be
able to go forth with this new leadership as well
as they have one of the easier schedules in the league.
Speaker 1 (18:37):
So I think that getting on the right path.
Speaker 8 (18:39):
Getting on the right foot underneath this new lineage is
going to be huge for them.
Speaker 1 (18:42):
I think they're hopeful to have a solid.
Speaker 5 (18:44):
Season this year. Very good. Well, I'm going to go
with ready, ready, A A G go.
Speaker 6 (18:52):
AG. You see I got the corners too, right, So,
but AG is going to have the guys ready.
Speaker 5 (18:57):
It's not going to be one week.
Speaker 6 (18:59):
Where I thin Jets kind of didn't come to play
this week. You know, they were kind of flat this week.
Aaron Glenn is going to have boys ready. Remember we've
got into the coaching stuff early together. We interned together
at the Jets and he was like, you know what, Hatch,
I'm going up early.
Speaker 5 (19:13):
I'm going straight up this ladder early. I'm gonna go quickly.
Speaker 6 (19:15):
And I'm like, hey, go do you think And as
you see, he's a head coach in New York Jets and.
Speaker 5 (19:19):
Then he will have this team ready start in week one.
Speaker 1 (19:22):
Okay, my word for the twenty twenty five Jets clean.
It's just gonna be clean. What do I mean by that?
The head coach is not gonna be fired. The GM
is not going to be fired. You have a quarterback
who is not going to say squatch nor is he
going to bring in his favorite wide receiver in the
middle of the season. The Jets an't going to trade
for DJ Moore from the Bears to get him to
justify it. It's just gonna be football. I don't know
(19:44):
if they're gonna win. I don't know if they're gonna lose.
It's just gonna be a good meat and potatoes football
season with no bs, no studying. Hey, wait, did the
quarterback push away the coach on the sideline when he
went to hug him? None of that stuff. It is
just nice and clean, and I think that's exactly what
the Jets fans need.
Speaker 2 (20:02):
I love that my word was in intriguing. You spilled No,
I didn't. I googled it on purpose. How very Darren
you That one's so mean. That's supposed to big guy
with his eyebrow up. You know, I can't do too
many eyebrows. I got botox. But I think it is
very intriguing, all of it. I love Coach Glenn. I
(20:25):
think he's one of He's one of those men that
commands attention without ever having to ask for it.
Speaker 3 (20:31):
It is just naturally.
Speaker 2 (20:33):
Implied that similar to what you were saying about Aaron Rodgers.
When he walks in the room, everybody is going to
show up. We got a glimpse of that as we
saw on Hard Knocks when he was in Detroit. I'm
very intrigued to see how he forms this team with
the stability that they have now. I think the Jets
are very intriguing this year. All right, second white Board
Saints defensive end and our dear friend of the show,
Cam Jordan never boring. He showed up to camp with
(20:56):
a new look. He drew inspiration from a character on
a show that Colin out and I know very well
check it out.
Speaker 11 (21:01):
Honestly, I thought I was gonna cut it off, and
then I was like, you know, let's have some fun
with it. So this is my version of fun. I
wanted to be a Vlarian. I was like Cardall's Valari
and I was like a house of dragons. Started watching
that this last couple of weeks and I was like,
you know what, this guy, this guy got something going on.
Speaker 1 (21:16):
Now.
Speaker 11 (21:16):
Granted I was I thought I was gonna do the
beer too. I ain't like the way I like the
way the fumes was rising, you know what I'm saying,
So I kept I kept it exactly I wanted to.
I think I want to go lighter. But at the
same time, no, I think this is me. We'll see
how long it lasts. No, I'm not here for a
touch up.
Speaker 12 (21:30):
Though.
Speaker 2 (21:31):
Yeah, it's giving Valerian, it's giving somewhere in the lineage
before Janaris.
Speaker 1 (21:36):
It's giving pretty well.
Speaker 3 (21:38):
I see what you're doing.
Speaker 2 (21:39):
He's trying to get a cameo on this show. But
if you go, you better call me. I'm going with
you to filming.
Speaker 3 (21:44):
But I like it. I you don't like it.
Speaker 6 (21:47):
It's given me King Richard, it's giving me Serena Williams esque.
I just I'm not loving it. I need maybe change
the color a little bit.
Speaker 5 (21:54):
I don't pull that off.
Speaker 1 (21:55):
Though only yeah I can.
Speaker 2 (21:56):
Pull that because he says it with his whole test.
Speaker 1 (21:59):
He looks like a two hundred and ninety pound Calisio.
Speaker 2 (22:05):
It's so good. Okay, So let's pick a guy from
the league, anybody, anybody you want, and let's give him
a hairstyle from a TV show, from a movie, from film.
Let's assign it to a player or to a coach.
Speaker 8 (22:18):
Isaiah, you got all right, So I'm go ahead and
use my cover up right here, I'm gonna go with
Trey Hendrickson. And we all know that Trey Henderson right
now is in negotiation talks.
Speaker 1 (22:27):
He's at a stalemate. They want to pay him fifteen.
He deserves forty. But who what hairstyle would I put
on Trey?
Speaker 6 (22:33):
Here?
Speaker 2 (22:34):
Very very intrigued, big worm, big word from five, big
word for fron because.
Speaker 8 (22:41):
Play on my money is like playing with my emotions. Smokey,
that's what Trey Henderson is like. Right now, Put big
worms hairstyle on Trey Henderson.
Speaker 1 (22:49):
That's the bar.
Speaker 8 (22:49):
But he's all right now you see it right there,
let's freaking go.
Speaker 2 (22:53):
Now, you give me Trey hendrick every black and brown
mom's Sunday hair.
Speaker 6 (22:57):
I have this, oh Auntie right yeah, that's my aunt Yeah,
that's my auntie right there. Lord Jesus, well, you know what,
there's a there's not a more perfect fit then.
Speaker 5 (23:10):
Of course in.
Speaker 6 (23:10):
Pittsburgh, I paid a fool because Mike Tomlin with a
mister T mohawk would be an absolute classics.
Speaker 5 (23:19):
It's everything that Mike t is. It's it's the tea
in Tomlin, It's it's everything. Right, So I think this
is the perfect fit.
Speaker 3 (23:26):
Like brand.
Speaker 1 (23:29):
Man, that's we're seeing cluver Lang. But he played ba
Baracus to yeah, bad attitude like that's that's Tomlin. I'm
going to take a dramatic tonal shift from your two answers.
I'm only going to go with the most famous hairstyle
in television history. I'll be there for you. Somebody give
me the Rachel, all right, And it's just sitting right there.
(23:50):
Who could pull off the Rachel? You know it, Bam.
Speaker 3 (23:54):
Absolutely absolutely, you're well played.
Speaker 1 (23:58):
You know what I'm saying. And in the in and
a way, like you know, Trevor's last couple of years
hasn't been great. It's like it hasn't been his day,
his week, or even his year. But we'll be there
for you in the haircut. In fact, maybe even Rachel
should go with the Trevor. Wherever Anniston is, she should
do the Trevor and we could reverse engineer this thing.
But this is on it to you, this is simple.
Speaker 2 (24:17):
The most infuriating part of all of that is that
he told he told me directly, he does nothing special,
no conditioner, nothing to a fair. It's just wakes up
right exactly annoying.
Speaker 6 (24:29):
Just Jesus and berries just.
Speaker 2 (24:32):
So, just like straight, like bar of soap. You know
what I'm done, real quick. I did have Lamar Jackson
with the low cut Caesar with the deep waves. If
you don't know it, google it. It's for the culture.
They'll get it. Look up that Destiny's Child song, not
even child aging myself. All right, here's our third one.
Steven Spielberg is a Hollywood elite, of course, great film
(24:54):
Raider of the Lost Arc debuted this week. Reader is
a Blessing nineteen eighty one. Nineteen eighty one. Oh yeah,
good year. What is his most iconic Oh.
Speaker 5 (25:07):
There's so many. There's so many, Yes, there's so many.
That's a tough one.
Speaker 1 (25:12):
I'm go ahead, I'll kick this thing off.
Speaker 8 (25:14):
I'm gonna go with the one thing that the one
movie that has had six iterations of the movie, the
one movie that has theme parks title after, the one
movie that has vehicles named after it, in the one
movie that there's one animal scene that nobody's ever gonna forget.
I'm gonna go with Jurassic Parks. You gotta see it
time six. They made six Jurassic Parks. He is an
(25:35):
absolute dude for this. Everybody still remembers the dog on
the scene where the guy opens up the jeep and
the one little everybody has a fear of that. There's
no chance of that happening, but we all fear it
except for that one little lizard that there's a.
Speaker 1 (25:48):
Real one that does it. But other than that, y'all,
that's the answer right there. Jurassic Park for.
Speaker 6 (25:52):
The wind, Jurassic Park, love it, love the dinosaur that.
Speaker 1 (25:57):
I love all that.
Speaker 6 (25:57):
That's what we do. But there is a classic movie.
Oh that's better than that. And they're only made one
because when there's only one, that means it has to
be the best.
Speaker 5 (26:05):
It is Phoned.
Speaker 1 (26:12):
Okay, change my life as a kid.
Speaker 6 (26:15):
When he went home and he phoned home, I bawled
like a baby. I don't know why. It was a
little alien, but I was sitting there crying, like, no.
Speaker 5 (26:22):
He's come back.
Speaker 1 (26:23):
Do you have the basket on the bike?
Speaker 5 (26:24):
I didn't.
Speaker 6 (26:24):
I didn't have a bike, but I think that et again,
that was just a life changing movie for me. I
didn't know that a movie could take that emotion out
of me, if you will, when I was five or
six years old. But yeah, I remember that, that's the movie.
That's the best movie.
Speaker 1 (26:41):
I can't, y, yeah, I can't. But that part where
Et gets all sick and white and crusty, that's very disturbing.
I mean that parts gross. I find him in a
ditch somewhere too. All right, Well, here's the thing, Isaiah,
those are two great selections.
Speaker 2 (27:00):
Isaiah.
Speaker 1 (27:01):
You said Jurassic Park, which is a fantastic choice. And
you said everyone was afraid of the dinosaurs, but you
don't have to be because they don't really exist. What
if they really did exist and they're at the dock
where you're swimming with your friends. It's Jaws. It's really
his first major movie. It was the highest grossing movie
of all time. It revolutionized cinema in the United States
(27:24):
of America. To this day, people are afraid to go
in the water because of this movie with Richard Dreyfus
from the seventies. Some of the I think Jurassic Park
and Et like changed the world and changed movies. Jaws
changed the oceans, and it's been here for thousands and
thousands and thousands and thousands of years. We're still our
(27:44):
great grandchildren are going to be afraid of the ocean
because of a Steven Spielberg movie. I'm a little bit
afraid of white crusty et. I'm afraid of the t Rex.
But I don't even want to go close to the
ocean because of a movie made before I was born.
You mentioned, all right, John Williams Jurassic Park, But da
da da da et.
Speaker 6 (28:04):
This was just.
Speaker 1 (28:11):
It's the best. My god, that girl swimming in the
first scene, she's she's here.
Speaker 2 (28:15):
Don't need to respect the ocean's bod.
Speaker 1 (28:18):
You expect the ocean because of Jaws.
Speaker 5 (28:20):
Correct, it's more, it's not even the ocean. I respect
water water.
Speaker 6 (28:24):
I haven't tooken a bath since I watched you shut.
Speaker 1 (28:27):
I only shower because of Jaws. So I feel you,
Kyle Hat, you ever in a pool and you're just
kind of swimming, and you're like, I think there might
be a shark in this pool, like a big one.
I swear that's gonna be a shark, not even.
Speaker 6 (28:40):
Not even getting a pool because of the movie.
Speaker 2 (28:43):
If they're sharks in a pool, somebody's out to get you.
It's a wrap mine quickly was Minority Report. We live
in a simulation. Go back and watch it, so so good.
Speaker 3 (28:56):
Welcome back everybody.
Speaker 2 (28:57):
These Steelers finally welcoming new quarterback Aaron Rodgers to camp,
but he's gonna have to wait a little bit to
see our pass rosher TJ Watt lining up on the
other side of the ball. Watt skipped the start of
mandatory Mini caamp on Tuesday as he seeks a new contract.
Watt is entering the final year of his four year
extension that he signed at the start of the twenty
twenty one season, the same year he ended up winning
(29:20):
ap NFL Defensive Player of the Year. Head coach Mike
Tomlin saying they would like Wat there, but they are
not surprised by his absence. In Cincinnati, NFL network insiders
Ian Rappaport and Tom Pellisero are both reporting Bengals defensive
Entrey Hendrickson is not expected to report to mandatory Mini
caamp either, as he's also.
Speaker 3 (29:39):
Looking for a contract extension.
Speaker 2 (29:40):
Hendrickson, the reigning NFL sack leader, told reporters about a
month ago that he won't play for since he without
a contract extension. Ian also reporting Commander's wide receiri receiver
rather Terry McLaurin is not attending Washington's mandatory minicamp. McLaurin
is entering the final year of a three year extension
signed back in twenty twenty two. He currently ranked sixteenth
(30:01):
in annual average salary among wide receipt and some good
news out of Buffalo as running back James Cook did
report to camp on Tuesday, despite wanting a new deal
of his own. When asked Tuesday why he reported to camp,
cooks at quote, I like my money.
Speaker 3 (30:16):
That's why I'm here.
Speaker 2 (30:17):
As with all hold out players are subject to fines
for not reporting. Coming up next, we'll be joined by
Cowboys wide receiver Jalen Tolvert. We'll talk to him about
Dallas's new white out room and his expectations for the
team under you, Coach Brian Shot.
Speaker 12 (30:33):
I hope you hear that, good morn.
Speaker 1 (30:49):
All he does is make plays.
Speaker 8 (30:51):
Please welcome to Good Morning Football. Cowboys wide receiver Jaalen
told good in man, JT is good to see you
on here today.
Speaker 1 (31:02):
Man.
Speaker 8 (31:02):
Normally I'll see you in the building out there in
detail on boogie, but let's go ahead and get into
this interview. Man, you are the man out there in Dallas.
Obviously you have cdee Lamb, you have Jake Ferguson, but
somehow you wound up with forty nine receptions and led
the team in touchdowns with seven touchdowns.
Speaker 1 (31:18):
How do you file? How do you plan on following that.
Speaker 5 (31:20):
Up this year?
Speaker 13 (31:21):
Honestly, man, just continuing to build on the consistency that
I started. I think that's one of the big things,
is just coming in each and it every day and
I harping on what happened last year, but focusing on
the future in the present time of you know, what
I can do to be better this upcoming season, and
so just challenging myself every day to get better at
something wide receiver wise, you know, on and off the field.
Speaker 1 (31:42):
Well, listen, the presidence in the future involves a new
teammate in George Pickens. Jalen, how did you find out
the news that he was going to become a cowboy
and what has he been like early on to work with?
Speaker 13 (31:53):
Yeah, I talked to talk to him the night before
it actually came out, and so honestly, he's been great
to work with. He's picking out the playbook, great, he's
out here making plays. We're having fun. You know, it
cases the pass. We all dance, you know, we run
after each other, just compete. It's fun to have another
piece to the puzzle, another piece to our weapon weapon system.
(32:16):
So I think having him will definitely open up a
lot for not only myself, but for the other guys
in the room as well, CD included, and so, like
I said, it's been fun having him around. And I
actually had an ongoing relationship with him before because we
played against each other in high school. He's from Alabama
as well, and so I've known him for a while.
So it's fun to meet back up with him, you know,
(32:37):
after we went through the whole rookie years, you know,
NFL Combine to Draft to Rookie Premiere all together, and
so now we're.
Speaker 14 (32:44):
On the same team. We literally we were talking about
it yesterday.
Speaker 6 (32:46):
Nice nice stand in the wide receiver room. So again
I was at number three. I played with Randy Moss,
Chris Carter. It was hard for me to get the
ball obviously, right. You have, of course, CD, you have
pickings in there. Again, I'll give you the secret on
how to get the work right if you can know
both of their positions, so when they go out, you
take that position like that's how you kind of continue
(33:07):
to stay in the game plan, you know. So give
me some other things that you're going to know pretty
much plan on trying to do as.
Speaker 5 (33:13):
Far as get the ball this year for the Cowboys.
Speaker 13 (33:15):
Honestly, play my role the best that I can, the
best of my ability, and like you said, being versatile,
being able to play not only those two wide receiver
responsible playing the Y and Tim personnel and you know,
playing the slot whatever it is, play all four of them.
And doing my job. You know, I think it speaks
dividends to people that do their job. I think you know,
you will be rewarded, whether that's blocking you know, blocking
(33:36):
on the bubble screen for CD or running off and
clearing out for GP to catch you know, over route,
or whatever it may be. And so I know that,
like I say, my bats, my opportunities to come, and
I just have to be ready for when they do come.
And to that same question, you know, just continuing to
build that chemistry with that, you know, I think we've
built a great relationship over the past three and a
half years, and so just continuing to build that, continuing
(33:58):
to harp on the things that you know, he wants
us to work on together, and being where he wants
me to be at the right time. And I think
everything else will play out how I wanted to.
Speaker 2 (34:07):
You know, j T. Last year when I saw you
at training camp at Oxnard, you told me that a
big secret of that chemistry between you and Dak was
all the crawfish. I still don't know where you're getting
all these quality crawfish in Dallas? Am I mistaken? Isaiya?
Speaker 3 (34:19):
Apparently?
Speaker 2 (34:20):
Apparently there's spots out there. But yesterday your coach was
asked what success looks like for Dak. Prescott at Take
a Listen To twenty.
Speaker 3 (34:27):
Said, although the many statistics out there now, is.
Speaker 6 (34:31):
There one that you look at that will indicate to
you during the season that Dak is being successful right now?
Speaker 1 (34:36):
He's doing what you want him to do in your system.
Speaker 2 (34:38):
Yeah, wins pretty straightforward. I would agree, What can we
expect from Dak and your point of view in twenty
twenty five?
Speaker 13 (34:46):
First and foremost, that just gave me chills because that
doesn't Beak difvidence to Dak and like co say, I mean,
he wins and everything he wins, being the first person
in the building, the last one to leave. He wins
in the locker room, he wins in a meeting room,
on the field, off the field. So that's a guy
that you know says the standard for all of the
other guys in the locker room each and every day.
And to have him as a leader, a big brother,
(35:09):
mentor is surreal. And so, like I said, we just
keep following his lead and keep holding up the standard
that he said for us.
Speaker 6 (35:16):
And so I was pretty much talking about again that
whole wide receiver room, right, I think that for the
most part, like knowing every position is so important because
you just said it, Like when you can go to
why the ten personnel eleven personnel go inside outside? Like
that thing is so important from the offensive coordinator's perspective.
If the coordinator trust you and the quarterback trust you,
(35:39):
you'll always be on the field. Right, You're talking about
blocking and doing all those little things again for your
young receivers.
Speaker 5 (35:44):
Listening to JT.
Speaker 6 (35:45):
Right again, he's in a great wide receivers room. But
this is how you stay in the NFL for a
long period of time and then when it's your time, right,
you get paid when you become a free agent because
you have the numbers to back that up as well.
Speaker 2 (35:56):
Well.
Speaker 8 (35:56):
JT definitely has the numbers. He let the team with
them touchdowns with seven of them things. So keep doing
what you're doing there, But I want to hop to
the other side of the ball.
Speaker 1 (36:02):
Hey, there's a dude on the other side of the
ball that considers himself to.
Speaker 8 (36:06):
Be a lion and we call him aka Michael Parsons.
How important is he to your team the locker room
and how much are you and the rest of the
team kind of cheering him off for the big boy
contract that's to come.
Speaker 14 (36:18):
Yeah.
Speaker 13 (36:18):
Man, he's the centerpiece, not only on that side of
the ball, but off the whole team.
Speaker 14 (36:22):
And we love him around here. Obviously.
Speaker 13 (36:24):
He's a great player, great teammate to have, a hard worker, competitor,
and I think he's not even at his prime yet.
Speaker 14 (36:30):
I think he's still peeking.
Speaker 13 (36:31):
And that's the great part about having a player like
Micah is that you know, he continues to get better
each and every day, and so you know, we all
have his back, we all you know, every time we
see him, you know, he comes in the locker room
with a smile. There's no you know, negativity around the
situation is more so just you know, happy to see him,
happy to be around. He actually got mad at me
the other day for not answering the phone when he
(36:52):
did the prank, a good night prank.
Speaker 14 (36:55):
So I had to deal with that yesterday in the
locker room.
Speaker 1 (36:59):
The kind of pick it up when Eleven calls? You
know what I mean? I guess let's that be known
when I call you answer right, listen, Jalen there, I'm
going to just shoot you straight. The Cowboys are one
of these teams that has something kind of following them around.
And you see it like the Steelers haven't been able
to win a playoff game in a long time, the
Jets haven't been able to get to one in a
long time. The Cowboys haven't been to a title game
(37:21):
since before you were born. Why do you think the
twenty twenty five team might be the special one to
break that cycle?
Speaker 13 (37:27):
Honestly because of the energy that we have, the culture
that coach Shatti is building. It starts from the locker
room and goes out. It's not the other way. You know,
exits and those will come. But you have to know
your brother, You have to know the guy playing beside
you there. Why understand why they do it and who
they do it for. And honestly, you can you can
push people out of you know dark holes, you know
(37:48):
bad moments. You know, even through the good moments, you
can continue to challenge them to be better.
Speaker 14 (37:51):
In that aspect.
Speaker 13 (37:52):
And I think you can do that when you truly
know the god next to you and understand why they're
doing it. And so that's been a big emphasis in
this offseason is just you know, know your brothers, know
your why, know yourself, know your strengths and weaknesses.
Speaker 14 (38:05):
And I think it starts there.
Speaker 13 (38:07):
And then obviously as you're going on the field, you know,
sometimes you may not be, you know, the fastest or whatever,
but you're gonna you're gonna look like it, and you're
gonna play besides your brother like it. And you know,
if you down, you know half a piece that your
brother carried the other half a piece for you.
Speaker 14 (38:21):
And so shot he's been big on that.
Speaker 13 (38:23):
And we're loving the energy, the culture that is being
created around here, and we're having fun with it each
and every day.
Speaker 2 (38:30):
You know, one of the things that I've been looking
through the video there of Mini camp and when you
guys are working out, one of the nuances that folks
may not get to see is who gets the ox chord.
I'm wondering if you get it. Is it all country
music because you're a big fan, right who's your country
artists right now?
Speaker 13 (38:48):
We actually have a piece of paper you can write
down songs on. And we have a guy we call
him DJ Daniels, so he plays the ones and two
as far as while we're at practice. And like I say,
the guys love the energy, love the music. They we're
able to listen to it practice. It brings just a
little extra touch to it. And uh, you know, we're
even all chasing after the ball, you know, running full
speed after you know, whoever catches the ball or running
(39:09):
back bus through the whole we're all chasing, you know,
finishing in the in zone with him. And you know,
those are two things that just are completely different from
practice before. And so like I said, we're all having
fun out there, and it's actually fun to you know,
compete with who gets to the end zone first without
the ball, you know, like we're racing each other getting
there and then have to run all the way back
and you know, do another place.
Speaker 14 (39:29):
So like I said, we're having fun with it.
Speaker 13 (39:31):
We're creating a different field, different culture around here, and uh,
it's exciting.
Speaker 2 (39:36):
I love that I've had Shaboozie and Cowboy Carter on
repeat as of late Dayalen, thank you so much for
coming through.
Speaker 3 (39:42):
We appreciate you.
Speaker 14 (39:46):
Put up, Coach. What you doing many? Yeah, I just
wanted to say good night, Okay, I love that, bro.
What's going on y'all?
Speaker 5 (39:53):
Good?
Speaker 1 (39:53):
Yeah?
Speaker 14 (39:54):
You know what I mean.
Speaker 15 (39:54):
I just feel like, you know, player to coach, just
checking in on you, then to say good night. Whole
fans will see one day, you know, excited run up
to this is a good.
Speaker 14 (40:04):
Night, well good man.
Speaker 8 (40:06):
Hey, look hey, look, I know this is weird for everybody, man,
but look you're handling everything the right way, bro, and
this thing's gonna.

And again, I'm just I'm thrilled to see where we
take the same.
Speaker 14 (40:18):
Man.
Speaker 8 (40:18):
We're building something special and you're gonna be a huge
party bro.
Speaker 15 (40:22):
Yeah man, hell yeah, hell yeah, Shelby, take a shotty
from me when you got a chance.
Speaker 1 (40:27):

you Monday. And it's gonna get great week. Yeah, seeing
something Coach Harbor. Appreciate you, man, but I'll.
Speaker 8 (40:48):
Be don't be the guy doesn't know that the prank
is being played.
Speaker 2 (40:53):
There was a missed up because typically when the guy
is my favorite trend right now on the internet, they like, hey, man,
I just want to say sweet dreams.
Speaker 3 (40:59):
I'm getting into bed right now.
Speaker 2 (41:00):
And so most dudes they're like why why in me?
Coach was so.
Speaker 1 (41:05):
You know why he was so thoughtful? If you got
we don't have the clip.
Speaker 8 (41:08):
But in his press conference yesterday okay, following the first
mini cap practice, Coach Shotty gets on there and genuinely says,
I thought he just missed me.
Speaker 6 (41:17):
Look, no, he doesn't doesn't miss you at all. But
if my boys call me a sagod night, they getting
hung up on.
Speaker 1 (41:23):
That's just that's the response.
Speaker 3 (41:25):
Isaiah calls you up good.
Speaker 1 (41:26):
Night, brother, honey, honey, who's on the phone. Oh it
was just Isaiah calling his saod night.
Speaker 5 (41:32):
What what's weird? Weird?
Speaker 1 (41:35):
But you know what, my takeaway from that clip is that, like,
I think shot Nie was pretty cool. He's looked at
this guy who's boring or something like, I think I
love his dynamic a lot. I'm team shoddy right now.
He came up well in that.
Speaker 8 (41:46):
But how about the fact that Mikel said, take a
shotty for me, Shody. He said, Oh, I'm taking a
shotty right now.
Speaker 1 (41:51):
I'm ahead of you. I'm ahead of you.
Speaker 2 (41:53):
I'm mature man like yeah, man, call me SA good night.
It's all good.
Speaker 3 (41:57):
It's good Dallas, guys.
Speaker 2 (42:00):
I love that.
Speaker 5 (42:01):
Don't call me, don't call.
Speaker 6 (42:04):
You.
Speaker 5 (42:04):
Don't want to see drink, don't call me.
Speaker 6 (42:06):
We're good. M
Good Morning Football is the production of the NFL in
partnership with iHeartRadio.
Speaker 2 (00:09):
Welcome to JMSB. My name is mj Acosta Ruiz right
here in La holding it down with Isaiah.
Speaker 3 (00:15):
Stand Back and former wide.
Speaker 2 (00:17):
Receiver Matthew Hatchett aka only known as Hatch thirty, and
of course, the one and only Kyle Brandt hanging out
in New York.
Speaker 1 (00:25):
Good morning, cops, Good morning. I am so excited. Programming note,
we're going to do all two hours reacting to Aaron
Rodgers Prescott commercial breaks, and we're doing two hours after that.
We're going to do it all week. It is so fun.
Let's get after it. Good Morning Football. We got lots
to talk about.
Speaker 4 (00:40):
Let's go good morning.
Speaker 2 (00:57):
Come on in, come on in, join us here at
the breakfast table. We love it. I cannot eat this early,
but we have been eating the dance moves all morning long.
And I say morning, but really it is the middle
of the night here in Los Angeles.
Speaker 5 (01:12):
But we love it.
Speaker 2 (01:13):
That's how we stay hiped. Kyle of course, always jumping in,
no matter if he's three thousand miles away.
Speaker 3 (01:18):
The miles don't matter, Kyle.
Speaker 2 (01:20):
We're here.
Speaker 5 (01:21):
We're a team.
Speaker 2 (01:22):
But we are going to start.
Speaker 1 (01:23):
We're a team. We have lots to talk about. For
some reason, right before the show started, Isaiah Standback says, hey,
KB who in the nineties had the best hip gyrations,
And I was like, are you talking about a players? Like,
what are we talking about here? This is how the
show's going to be today.
Speaker 6 (01:38):
We thought you were going to go with new kids
on the block.
Speaker 2 (01:39):
That was our guest to qualify that question so quickly immediately.
But maybe Pittsburgh will give us a little bit more
to talk about on that and that is where we
start in our lead block. Pittsburgh opened mandatory mini camp Tuesday,
with four time MVP Aaron Rodgers taking part in his
first practice as Steelers QB one. Afterwards, he met with
(02:00):
the media and was actually a bit confused when asked
if offensive coordinator Arthur Smith has to call a Rogers
style offense.
Speaker 7 (02:09):
I don't understand that last term takeover when I see fit.
I mean, I've called some two minutes over the years,
but the idea that somehow I need to or have
spent most of my career playing outside of an offensive
system is just not correct. So I'm gonna learn the
offense and Arthur and I are going to talk a
bunch this summer and if there's things that I like
(02:29):
that i'd like to see in the offense, Arthur, I'm sure,
is going to put it in. But he knows how
to call a game. I know how to get us
in the right spot based on what's called. There's two
or three plays called in the huddle. Sometimes my jobs
get us in the right play. DK has been blowing
me up for a while. We got to get together
out West, but I've gone against him a number of times.
He's big, athletic, fast, got great hands, ball skills. But
(02:54):
the thing that really excites me the most is his character.
I think he's a high character guy, and.
Speaker 2 (03:00):
That is just scratching the surface of all we heard
from Aaron Rodgers yesterday the nice BF press conference. As
you should, folks have been waiting a long time for
this one. So your thoughts, guys on the first press conference,
Aaron Rodgers in a Steelers jersey. It's happening, hatch.
Speaker 5 (03:17):
I love it. I love it.
Speaker 6 (03:18):
I think what he said was what the outside noises
doesn't understand, right, the outside public, It's like the OC's
gonna call a game, right, but it's up to him
when a third and four, two minutes left in the game,
all of those situations are gonna come down to him saying, Okay,
we have a safety down the box that I like
my one on one matchup over here, I like this
(03:39):
over here on the backside. Those are the things he's
talking about, and that's what his experience is going to bring.
Author's gonna call it, you know, first quarter, second quarter,
but when it gets down to you know, crunch time,
he's going to have the answers to the test for sure.
Speaker 1 (03:50):
Now I completely agree with you.
Speaker 8 (03:51):
I mean, people need to understand that's about the position
of quarterback.
Speaker 1 (03:54):
It is in a very subrebral position.
Speaker 8 (03:56):
It's the reason why guys are good and some guys
are great. It's the distinguishing factor between those things. Aaron
Rodgers has been a run aka John Wick because he
understands everything that is presented in front of him. So
to your point, what he's referring to in terms of
putting the team in the right position, that is the
case you get two calls, you get three calls. Sometimes
you get up to the line of scrimmage. Sometimes what
(04:16):
you see at the line of scrims. I need to
change it. I need to communicate with my offensive line.
I need to communicate with my wide receivers, my tailback.
I need to make sure that everybody understands exactly what's
being presented, put us in the best position so that
we can go forward and have some success. The one
thing that I like in terms of takeaways from the
press conference was the fact that he said that I
needed to make sure that I was good. There were
some things that I was dealing with personally, so that
(04:37):
when I stepped foot here, I was fully present. I
respect that because of the fact that when I know
everybody right, you've been there, I assuming that I've been
there as well. When you have things going on in
your head and I can't be fully present, I can't
be the best for you, and I can't be the
best for this organization. So regardless of how people may
perceive Aaron Rodgers, I have a high regard for him
(04:58):
for checking that box and making sure that things at
home are good, because when I step on this field,
I am all in.
Speaker 5 (05:04):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (05:04):
Yeah.
Speaker 6 (05:05):
I think that what was going on the last two
months was a female in his life marriage right. He
just said he got married right, So that's a big deal.
Speaker 2 (05:13):
Well a life event.
Speaker 5 (05:14):
It's a life event.
Speaker 6 (05:15):
So that April in May, that's what he was doing,
and I'm like, okay, So he went away to go
do that, and everybob like, you know, you're subbably playing football,
Like no, I'm going to take care of my life,
you know.
Speaker 5 (05:24):
So I think it was a great decision for him
at this time.
Speaker 1 (05:27):
Unbelievably exciting. I got the top, guys. I love this stuff.
I think Rogers introductory press conferences are better than some
of the actual games that we have. I love it.
Remember when he comes to the Jets, he's going to Broadway.
He's doing this. There is no Broadway in Pittsburgh. He
is the Broadway. What we saw yesterday was the closest
we're going to get to. And to that point, I want,
(05:49):
ever want to get really comfortable because if he didn't
see it, I have a full rundown of all of
my favorites, all of my superlative So everybody buckle up
and get your popcorn. The most Rogers quote was quote
the decisions made from the soul are usually pretty fulfilling.
Only Aaron ra would say that the only quarterback in
the League, Netflix already working on a documentary called Decisions
(06:09):
from the Soul. The most loaded quote he says, there
were talks with other organizations. I think Rogers was extremely
interested in playing for the Rams. I think it was
close to happening.
Speaker 5 (06:18):
It did not.
Speaker 1 (06:19):
The closest thing to shade from Aaron Rodgers quote, there
are some iconic franchises in the NFL. I played for
one of them for eighteen years. This is another one.
He skipped two years in there when he played for
the Jets, who are not although he did say later
he was not going to take any shots in his
previous organization. This was great too, know your yensers. He
went up there and rattled off every single person in
(06:41):
his career who is from Pittsburgh. Mike McCarthy, Dom Caper's,
Frank Signetti, all the yinsers. He had that list ready.
It endears him too the room and endears him too
this city. He did his prep for that most crafty
answer why he wanted why he waited to sign You
mentioned this, mentioned dealing with things in his personal life,
and then said I didn't want to short change the
(07:02):
guys being signed, but elsewhere mentally. Very crafty meaning I
could have been here, but that wouldn't have been fair
to the guys. Next his no the room answer, he
used the term blue collar three times. Blue collar town, building,
the structure of this country, blue collar people. He could
have referenced Chico, he could have referenced Green Bay, but
(07:23):
de cappanting blue collar and it was smart. The one
answer I gotta call bs on when he says the
thing that excites him most about DK Metcalf as his character. Look,
I get DK Metcalf, they have some great character. Have
you ever seen him run here? I never seen him jump.
That's way more exciting. If you're a quarterback. I get
the character's fine, but there's no way that's what excites you.
(07:44):
The most best checkdown from Rogers, he was asked if
he can get the Steelers a playoff win for the
first time in years. He said, quote worm day one
a mini camp. He literally says, I'm taking it one
day at a time. And that's a guy who never
says that. Most random but relevant revelation in the middle
of the press conference. He hates his helmets. His old
helmet he's been working for twenty years is now Saliti's
(08:05):
not allowed to wear it. He says, I absolutely hate
this helmet. Keep an eye on that wrapping up here.
His shortest answer, Aaron, do you have any trepidation about
missing OTA's one word?
Speaker 6 (08:16):
No.
Speaker 1 (08:17):
His least favorite question we saw there was about freedom
to audible and quote take over the offense. He was like,
I don't really understand what that second term means. I've
done this, I've done that market. That was the one
question he hated and does not want to be asked again.
And then lastly, you can't be Rogers without just throwing
us one curveball or one up high and tight. The
(08:38):
full spit take moment. At eleven minutes into a thirteen
minute media session, he reveals I'm married. I've been married
for a couple of months, and everyone's like, what, We've
been following you for nearly a quarter century. We've seen
you in public relationships, and now you're just married with
a wedding ring on. There's no follow up about who
is she, where is she?
Speaker 5 (08:58):
What is she?
Speaker 1 (08:59):
There's nothing about that. It's just all of a sudden,
on top of this, I'm also married and I wear
a ring out on the damn practice field. There are
people wh don't want to see Rogers anymore. Who are
sick of Rodgers? Don't like Rogers. I will never get
sick of this. I think he's the most fascinating athlete
on the planet. Isn't even win a playoff game, who
the hell knows, but he's one for one at media sessions.
That's Broadway and Pitts brag. Absolutely love it.
Speaker 5 (09:20):
Now, there you go, there you go.
Speaker 2 (09:25):
Following the Tony's that was basically Tony Worthy married.
Speaker 5 (09:29):
Married.
Speaker 9 (09:30):
I want to like, guys know, we call that THEATA,
but it was, to your point, Kyle, a much more reflective,
a much more intentional Rogers than we've seen in the past.
Speaker 2 (09:41):
Marriage. Will jewelo something to somebody, won't it?
Speaker 1 (09:44):
Huh?
Speaker 2 (09:44):
But I did like that. The reporter who has him
was like, oh, everybody's chasing a ring. We noticed there's
a little bit more jewelry for you there, Aaron, what's
going on? He's like, oh, yeah, b T Dub's got hitched,
No big deal. But why was we need more details?
Speaker 5 (09:57):
Why was nobody's follow up question like, who is she?
Speaker 2 (10:00):
It's Brittany with than I that's a lesson Spears.
Speaker 3 (10:04):
No, it's very.
Speaker 2 (10:05):
Clear that it was not Britney Spear. Why he said,
Brittany with an eye.
Speaker 3 (10:08):
But even Brittany with an eye, who is this person?
Speaker 2 (10:10):
When he was on Pat McAfee, that's who he said
his lady was in his life back in November December.
He's like her Christmas gifts are delayed. It's for Brittany
and they're like Britney Spears. And he said, please me,
so for real, it's not Britney Spears.
Speaker 3 (10:24):
It's Brittany with an eye.
Speaker 1 (10:25):
Who you are, Brittany?
Speaker 8 (10:26):
You have wusaud Air.
Speaker 3 (10:28):
We loved it so much for and congratulations.
Speaker 2 (10:32):
But yes, he did have a ton to say, even
in those thirteen minutes. It was packed in there. So
let's listen to more from Aaron Rodgers on why he
chose to play for the Steelers.
Speaker 7 (10:41):
You know, I think it starts with Mike Tumblin and
then I've been a fan of his for a long time.
There's a few iconic franchises in the NFL. I played
for one of them for eighteen years. This is another
one of those. There's something special about, obviously, this area.
So many great quarterbacks are from Pittsburgh. I feel like
Pittsburgh has been a part of my career from the beginning. Again,
the rapport that fell in between me and Mike made
(11:04):
it to where as I was going through my personal stuff,
there wasn't any other option for me. It was here
and I.
Speaker 2 (11:10):
Played exactly as Kyle put it. Know, your audience creed
the room. Great response there, Isaiah, want to start with you,
because what do you think we'll see from this Rogers
Tomlin marriage if you will? Actually, he's they already got
no one marriage from this relation.
Speaker 1 (11:26):
Now.
Speaker 8 (11:26):
I look forward to this relationship simply because of the
fact that both of these guys are high level competitors.
When you look at coach Tomlin and people look at him,
they say, no, nonsense, it's because how intense he is. Right,
But one thing that you can't that you can't argue,
is that this dude is one heck of a competitor.
Speaker 1 (11:42):
As a coach.
Speaker 8 (11:43):
He always puts his teams in positions to go to
the playoffs, right, That's the thing that everybody says about him.
Speaker 1 (11:47):
But he's intense. You know, he loves a game.
Speaker 8 (11:49):
You know he wants his guys to go out there
and be hardcore and be physical with and it just
just just just have this this ethos about them.
Speaker 1 (11:56):
Aaron Rodgers is the same way. Yeah, Aaron Rodgers is
that guy. He's gonna run around and hit you in
the mouth.
Speaker 8 (12:00):
But one thing you fear about Aaron Rodgers is him
having a ball in his hand at the end of
the game.
Speaker 1 (12:04):
Why because he conducts this.
Speaker 8 (12:06):
He has this aura about him about how he goes
about his business. When he steps on the field, he
has an ambiance. When he steps in the locker room,
he steps in the meeting room, he has an understanding
and they have an understanding that he is the leader
in that room. There are some quarterbacks and I know
that you can probably speak to this as well, that
when they step in the room, you look at them,
you're like, okay, whatever, he's another guy, not Aaron Rodgers.
When Aaron Rodger steps in the room, everybody's like, all right,
(12:28):
let's listen up.
Speaker 1 (12:29):
What you have to say.
Speaker 8 (12:29):
We're all ears. We're tuned in with you. Because he
has that competitive nature, he has that command, and he
has that respect and regard from his teammates.
Speaker 5 (12:37):
And more importantly, he has that talent. Right, so we
already know again he's in the.
Speaker 6 (12:41):
Same vein as your Kobe. You're Jordan, You're Lebron a Rod.
It's all the same when it comes to his professionalism
and his talent. You have Tomlin and Rogers. It's really
going to be a poor man's Bellichick and Brady Right,
it's going to be for.
Speaker 5 (12:55):
A short period of time.
Speaker 6 (12:56):
But Tom's gonna get you so many wins because he's
a great coach, great organization, will get his players ready.
I just need a Rod to win those three or
four games is somewhere in Baltimore in December in a
playoff game where it's cold like those are the things.
Speaker 5 (13:09):
Going to matter when it comes down to that crunch time.
Speaker 6 (13:11):
But I think Tom's going to get them there to
get those nine ten wins.
Speaker 5 (13:15):
Like he always does.
Speaker 6 (13:16):
If a Rock can get us twelve thirteen in a
couple of playoff wins, they're exactly where they want to be.
Speaker 1 (13:19):
Yeah, I hear you what you're saying, And I just
want to go on record on June eleventh, as I
believe I believe in this. I believe this is going
to work, and by work, I mean a playoff win.
I don't know if it's multiple. I think that they will,
and it's going to be really hard to get to.
You remember, the schedule makers, who we love. They made
the Steelers' schedule based on Rogers being on the team.
They knew, we all knew. Do you understand, like how
(13:40):
interesting some of these matchups are going to be? Week one,
he's going to the Jets, He's going back into Matt Life.
Week one, he is also playing the Packers. He's also
going back to Soldier Field. This team, the Steelers, plays
the NFC North this year. So all those memories of
Rogers versus the Lions, Rogers versus it's all happening. Not
to mention, he faces Lamar, he faces Josh. It's like
(14:02):
it is going to be a huge Rogers year if
he can stay healthy. And I just think to put
a bow on last year. Last year, the Jets team
was not good. He was not an MVP level. But
just before you judge what he did last year when
he could do this year, look at last year's second half.
Look at this last seven games of Aaron Rodgers for
(14:22):
the Jets. The last seven games of a team with
an interim head coach and a fire GM that was
checked out mentally and not involved in any of the
standings conversations. Their forty year old quarterback in those seven games,
through thirteen touchdowns and four interceptions. He was playing very
very well on his second year, first year back from
an achilles injury. So I'm looking at the room. I'm
(14:45):
looking on how he finished last year, how he will
be healthier this year, how his team and his coach
will be better this year. I just want to say
it again June eleventh, play it back, December eleven, Play
it back January eleventh. I believe in this team. I
think the Steelers with Aaron Rodgers will win a playoff
game this year. Yep.
Speaker 6 (14:59):
And I think that's exactly what they mean by don't
worry about May, June, July. It's about November, December, January. Right,
It's not about the best team. It's about who's playing
the best. A rod knows the whole media thing and
how it goes. February wants you to do this in March,
and NFL network needs to talk about you in April,
(15:20):
you know, so come give us a He's like, I'm
not worried about that. Let me go do my thing.
I know I'm going to perform well because he's seen
it all. Right. There's not one defensive coordinator not one
defensive look, not one nickel blitz that he's never seen.
Speaker 1 (15:33):
So he's already head.
Speaker 6 (15:34):
Of the game when it comes to x's and o's.
Now he's just going to get his team ready for
the rest of the season.
Speaker 5 (15:38):
At the end of the season, no question.
Speaker 2 (15:40):
He's so used to that pressure. Right, you said of
Baltimore in December. I was in Baltimore in January. I'm
still fine from that game, all right. So from a
man who has already established as one of the greats
to one who's trying to make that name for him, say,
Quon Barkley has a lot of accolades twenty twenty four,
a p Offensive Player of the Year, two thousand yard rusher,
But is he one of the all time greats?
Speaker 3 (16:01):
Wait until you hear what our.
Speaker 2 (16:02):
Guys have to say about that, Kyle.
Speaker 3 (16:04):
What else is on the show today?
Speaker 1 (16:06):
All kinds of things. We're talking cowboys. We're talking cowboys
wide receiver, Jalen Tolbert. How's George Pickens fitting in? We
got to talk Pickens. It's been all about DK but
this guy's going to be electric to watch. How's Dak looking?
It's cowboys talk. We got whiteboard Wednesday coming up loaded,
show that they don't go anywhere.
Speaker 2 (16:31):
Good mon football. Today is Wednesday, and not one of
us were pink. But it's okay because it actually means
that we have our trustee whiteboards. Hey, Isaiah a veteran
at this game already, But Kyle, do you have any
advice for hatching?
Speaker 1 (16:48):
Yeah, we like to use this phrase. Hatch this right
here is your tapestry. Explore the space.
Speaker 2 (16:54):
Okay, use the whole field.
Speaker 1 (16:56):
Express yourself, personalize it, show off drawings, fonts, illustrations, doodles, whatever.
Go ahead and.
Speaker 5 (17:02):
Have a day on this thing.
Speaker 6 (17:03):
Okay, that helps me absolutely zero at all.
Speaker 5 (17:07):
Thank you.
Speaker 1 (17:07):
Okay, that's not.
Speaker 3 (17:09):
Coachable, absorbed, yes, fun, that.
Speaker 1 (17:13):
Hurts all right.
Speaker 2 (17:13):
So here we go round one of whiteboard Wednesday. There's
several high profile players not in camp right now as
they seek new contracts, but the Jets have full attendance
in phase three of OTA's So here's head coach Aaron
Glenn on all his players showing up.
Speaker 10 (17:29):
Well, first off, I can care less about other teams,
So I don't know what you're talking about with other
guys not holding out, But our guys are come to compete,
and that's who they are and listen. I don't take
that lightly either, so I'm appreciative. But I know how
they're built too, So those guys come to work all right.
Speaker 2 (17:47):
So described the twenty twenty five Jets in one word, Isaiah.
Speaker 1 (17:52):
I'm gonna rock with hopeful.
Speaker 3 (17:54):
Why is your penmanship so nice?
Speaker 8 (17:56):
Wownes?
Speaker 1 (17:58):
But I we're hopeful.
Speaker 8 (17:59):
I think they're very hopeful because of their leadership, not
even because of their players. No disrespect to the guys
that are on the field, no respect to the to
the guys that are gonna be out there making plays.
But I believe that Aaron Glenn is one heck of
a leader. And not only is he a leader, but
the staff that he's assembled, they do a great job
obviously of their coaching, but obviously leading these men that are.
Speaker 1 (18:21):
On the field.
Speaker 8 (18:21):
And I believe that coming off a five to twelve season,
I believe that, you know, obviously a change at the
head coach position, a change at the quarterback position, changing culture.
These guys are hopeful because they are going to be
able to go forth with this new leadership as well
as they have one of the easier schedules in the league.
Speaker 1 (18:37):
So I think that getting on the right path.
Speaker 8 (18:39):
Getting on the right foot underneath this new lineage is
going to be huge for them.
Speaker 1 (18:42):
I think they're hopeful to have a solid.
Speaker 5 (18:44):
Season this year. Very good. Well, I'm going to go
with ready, ready, A A G go.
Speaker 6 (18:52):
AG. You see I got the corners too, right, So,
but AG is going to have the guys ready.
Speaker 5 (18:57):
It's not going to be one week.
Speaker 6 (18:59):
Where I thin Jets kind of didn't come to play
this week. You know, they were kind of flat this week.
Aaron Glenn is going to have boys ready. Remember we've
got into the coaching stuff early together. We interned together
at the Jets and he was like, you know what, Hatch,
I'm going up early.
Speaker 5 (19:13):
I'm going straight up this ladder early. I'm gonna go quickly.
Speaker 6 (19:15):
And I'm like, hey, go do you think And as
you see, he's a head coach in New York Jets and.
Speaker 5 (19:19):
Then he will have this team ready start in week one.
Speaker 1 (19:22):
Okay, my word for the twenty twenty five Jets clean.
It's just gonna be clean. What do I mean by that?
The head coach is not gonna be fired. The GM
is not going to be fired. You have a quarterback
who is not going to say squatch nor is he
going to bring in his favorite wide receiver in the
middle of the season. The Jets an't going to trade
for DJ Moore from the Bears to get him to
justify it. It's just gonna be football. I don't know
(19:44):
if they're gonna win. I don't know if they're gonna lose.
It's just gonna be a good meat and potatoes football
season with no bs, no studying. Hey, wait, did the
quarterback push away the coach on the sideline when he
went to hug him? None of that stuff. It is
just nice and clean, and I think that's exactly what
the Jets fans need.
Speaker 2 (20:02):
I love that my word was in intriguing. You spilled No,
I didn't. I googled it on purpose. How very Darren
you That one's so mean. That's supposed to big guy
with his eyebrow up. You know, I can't do too
many eyebrows. I got botox. But I think it is
very intriguing, all of it. I love Coach Glenn. I
(20:25):
think he's one of He's one of those men that
commands attention without ever having to ask for it.
Speaker 3 (20:31):
It is just naturally.
Speaker 2 (20:33):
Implied that similar to what you were saying about Aaron Rodgers.
When he walks in the room, everybody is going to
show up. We got a glimpse of that as we
saw on Hard Knocks when he was in Detroit. I'm
very intrigued to see how he forms this team with
the stability that they have now. I think the Jets
are very intriguing this year. All right, second white Board
Saints defensive end and our dear friend of the show,
Cam Jordan never boring. He showed up to camp with
(20:56):
a new look. He drew inspiration from a character on
a show that Colin out and I know very well
check it out.
Speaker 11 (21:01):
Honestly, I thought I was gonna cut it off, and
then I was like, you know, let's have some fun
with it. So this is my version of fun. I
wanted to be a Vlarian. I was like Cardall's Valari
and I was like a house of dragons. Started watching
that this last couple of weeks and I was like,
you know what, this guy, this guy got something going on.
Speaker 1 (21:16):
Now.
Speaker 11 (21:16):
Granted I was I thought I was gonna do the
beer too. I ain't like the way I like the
way the fumes was rising, you know what I'm saying,
So I kept I kept it exactly I wanted to.
I think I want to go lighter. But at the
same time, no, I think this is me. We'll see
how long it lasts. No, I'm not here for a
touch up.
Speaker 12 (21:30):
Though.
Speaker 2 (21:31):
Yeah, it's giving Valerian, it's giving somewhere in the lineage
before Janaris.
Speaker 1 (21:36):
It's giving pretty well.
Speaker 3 (21:38):
I see what you're doing.
Speaker 2 (21:39):
He's trying to get a cameo on this show. But
if you go, you better call me. I'm going with
you to filming.
Speaker 3 (21:44):
But I like it. I you don't like it.
Speaker 6 (21:47):
It's given me King Richard, it's giving me Serena Williams esque.
I just I'm not loving it. I need maybe change
the color a little bit.
Speaker 5 (21:54):
I don't pull that off.
Speaker 1 (21:55):
Though only yeah I can.
Speaker 2 (21:56):
Pull that because he says it with his whole test.
Speaker 1 (21:59):
He looks like a two hundred and ninety pound Calisio.
Speaker 2 (22:05):
It's so good. Okay, So let's pick a guy from
the league, anybody, anybody you want, and let's give him
a hairstyle from a TV show, from a movie, from film.
Let's assign it to a player or to a coach.
Speaker 8 (22:18):
Isaiah, you got all right, So I'm go ahead and
use my cover up right here, I'm gonna go with
Trey Hendrickson. And we all know that Trey Henderson right
now is in negotiation talks.
Speaker 1 (22:27):
He's at a stalemate. They want to pay him fifteen.
He deserves forty. But who what hairstyle would I put
on Trey?
Speaker 6 (22:33):
Here?
Speaker 2 (22:34):
Very very intrigued, big worm, big word from five, big
word for fron because.
Speaker 8 (22:41):
Play on my money is like playing with my emotions. Smokey,
that's what Trey Henderson is like. Right now, Put big
worms hairstyle on Trey Henderson.
Speaker 1 (22:49):
That's the bar.
Speaker 8 (22:49):
But he's all right now you see it right there,
let's freaking go.
Speaker 2 (22:53):
Now, you give me Trey hendrick every black and brown
mom's Sunday hair.
Speaker 6 (22:57):
I have this, oh Auntie right yeah, that's my aunt Yeah,
that's my auntie right there. Lord Jesus, well, you know what,
there's a there's not a more perfect fit then.
Speaker 5 (23:10):
Of course in.
Speaker 6 (23:10):
Pittsburgh, I paid a fool because Mike Tomlin with a
mister T mohawk would be an absolute classics.
Speaker 5 (23:19):
It's everything that Mike t is. It's it's the tea
in Tomlin, It's it's everything. Right, So I think this
is the perfect fit.
Speaker 3 (23:26):
Like brand.
Speaker 1 (23:29):
Man, that's we're seeing cluver Lang. But he played ba
Baracus to yeah, bad attitude like that's that's Tomlin. I'm
going to take a dramatic tonal shift from your two answers.
I'm only going to go with the most famous hairstyle
in television history. I'll be there for you. Somebody give
me the Rachel, all right, And it's just sitting right there.
(23:50):
Who could pull off the Rachel? You know it, Bam.
Speaker 3 (23:54):
Absolutely absolutely, you're well played.
Speaker 1 (23:58):
You know what I'm saying. And in the in and
a way, like you know, Trevor's last couple of years
hasn't been great. It's like it hasn't been his day,
his week, or even his year. But we'll be there
for you in the haircut. In fact, maybe even Rachel
should go with the Trevor. Wherever Anniston is, she should
do the Trevor and we could reverse engineer this thing.
But this is on it to you, this is simple.
Speaker 2 (24:17):
The most infuriating part of all of that is that
he told he told me directly, he does nothing special,
no conditioner, nothing to a fair. It's just wakes up
right exactly annoying.
Speaker 6 (24:29):
Just Jesus and berries just.
Speaker 2 (24:32):
So, just like straight, like bar of soap. You know
what I'm done, real quick. I did have Lamar Jackson
with the low cut Caesar with the deep waves. If
you don't know it, google it. It's for the culture.
They'll get it. Look up that Destiny's Child song, not
even child aging myself. All right, here's our third one.
Steven Spielberg is a Hollywood elite, of course, great film
(24:54):
Raider of the Lost Arc debuted this week. Reader is
a Blessing nineteen eighty one. Nineteen eighty one. Oh yeah,
good year. What is his most iconic Oh.
Speaker 5 (25:07):
There's so many. There's so many, Yes, there's so many.
That's a tough one.
Speaker 1 (25:12):
I'm go ahead, I'll kick this thing off.
Speaker 8 (25:14):
I'm gonna go with the one thing that the one
movie that has had six iterations of the movie, the
one movie that has theme parks title after, the one
movie that has vehicles named after it, in the one
movie that there's one animal scene that nobody's ever gonna forget.
I'm gonna go with Jurassic Parks. You gotta see it
time six. They made six Jurassic Parks. He is an
(25:35):
absolute dude for this. Everybody still remembers the dog on
the scene where the guy opens up the jeep and
the one little everybody has a fear of that. There's
no chance of that happening, but we all fear it
except for that one little lizard that there's a.
Speaker 1 (25:48):
Real one that does it. But other than that, y'all,
that's the answer right there. Jurassic Park for.
Speaker 6 (25:52):
The wind, Jurassic Park, love it, love the dinosaur that.
Speaker 1 (25:57):
I love all that.
Speaker 6 (25:57):
That's what we do. But there is a classic movie.
Oh that's better than that. And they're only made one
because when there's only one, that means it has to
be the best.
Speaker 5 (26:05):
It is Phoned.
Speaker 1 (26:12):
Okay, change my life as a kid.
Speaker 6 (26:15):
When he went home and he phoned home, I bawled
like a baby. I don't know why. It was a
little alien, but I was sitting there crying, like, no.
Speaker 5 (26:22):
He's come back.
Speaker 1 (26:23):
Do you have the basket on the bike?
Speaker 5 (26:24):
I didn't.
Speaker 6 (26:24):
I didn't have a bike, but I think that et again,
that was just a life changing movie for me. I
didn't know that a movie could take that emotion out
of me, if you will, when I was five or
six years old. But yeah, I remember that, that's the movie.
That's the best movie.
Speaker 1 (26:41):
I can't, y, yeah, I can't. But that part where
Et gets all sick and white and crusty, that's very disturbing.
I mean that parts gross. I find him in a
ditch somewhere too. All right, Well, here's the thing, Isaiah,
those are two great selections.
Speaker 2 (27:00):
Isaiah.
Speaker 1 (27:01):
You said Jurassic Park, which is a fantastic choice. And
you said everyone was afraid of the dinosaurs, but you
don't have to be because they don't really exist. What
if they really did exist and they're at the dock
where you're swimming with your friends. It's Jaws. It's really
his first major movie. It was the highest grossing movie
of all time. It revolutionized cinema in the United States
(27:24):
of America. To this day, people are afraid to go
in the water because of this movie with Richard Dreyfus
from the seventies. Some of the I think Jurassic Park
and Et like changed the world and changed movies. Jaws
changed the oceans, and it's been here for thousands and
thousands and thousands and thousands of years. We're still our
(27:44):
great grandchildren are going to be afraid of the ocean
because of a Steven Spielberg movie. I'm a little bit
afraid of white crusty et. I'm afraid of the t Rex.
But I don't even want to go close to the
ocean because of a movie made before I was born.
You mentioned, all right, John Williams Jurassic Park, But da
da da da et.
Speaker 6 (28:04):
This was just.
Speaker 1 (28:11):
It's the best. My god, that girl swimming in the
first scene, she's she's here.
Speaker 2 (28:15):
Don't need to respect the ocean's bod.
Speaker 1 (28:18):
You expect the ocean because of Jaws.
Speaker 5 (28:20):
Correct, it's more, it's not even the ocean. I respect
water water.
Speaker 6 (28:24):
I haven't tooken a bath since I watched you shut.
Speaker 1 (28:27):
I only shower because of Jaws. So I feel you,
Kyle Hat, you ever in a pool and you're just
kind of swimming, and you're like, I think there might
be a shark in this pool, like a big one.
I swear that's gonna be a shark, not even.
Speaker 6 (28:40):
Not even getting a pool because of the movie.
Speaker 2 (28:43):
If they're sharks in a pool, somebody's out to get you.
It's a wrap mine quickly was Minority Report. We live
in a simulation. Go back and watch it, so so good.
Speaker 3 (28:56):
Welcome back everybody.
Speaker 2 (28:57):
These Steelers finally welcoming new quarterback Aaron Rodgers to camp,
but he's gonna have to wait a little bit to
see our pass rosher TJ Watt lining up on the
other side of the ball. Watt skipped the start of
mandatory Mini caamp on Tuesday as he seeks a new contract.
Watt is entering the final year of his four year
extension that he signed at the start of the twenty
twenty one season, the same year he ended up winning
(29:20):
ap NFL Defensive Player of the Year. Head coach Mike
Tomlin saying they would like Wat there, but they are
not surprised by his absence. In Cincinnati, NFL network insiders
Ian Rappaport and Tom Pellisero are both reporting Bengals defensive
Entrey Hendrickson is not expected to report to mandatory Mini
caamp either, as he's also.
Speaker 3 (29:39):
Looking for a contract extension.
Speaker 2 (29:40):
Hendrickson, the reigning NFL sack leader, told reporters about a
month ago that he won't play for since he without
a contract extension. Ian also reporting Commander's wide receiri receiver
rather Terry McLaurin is not attending Washington's mandatory minicamp. McLaurin
is entering the final year of a three year extension
signed back in twenty twenty two. He currently ranked sixteenth
(30:01):
in annual average salary among wide receipt and some good
news out of Buffalo as running back James Cook did
report to camp on Tuesday, despite wanting a new deal
of his own. When asked Tuesday why he reported to camp,
cooks at quote, I like my money.
Speaker 3 (30:16):
That's why I'm here.
Speaker 2 (30:17):
As with all hold out players are subject to fines
for not reporting. Coming up next, we'll be joined by
Cowboys wide receiver Jalen Tolvert. We'll talk to him about
Dallas's new white out room and his expectations for the
team under you, Coach Brian Shot.
Speaker 12 (30:33):
I hope you hear that, good morn.
Speaker 1 (30:49):
All he does is make plays.
Speaker 8 (30:51):
Please welcome to Good Morning Football. Cowboys wide receiver Jaalen
told good in man, JT is good to see you
on here today.
Speaker 1 (31:02):
Man.
Speaker 8 (31:02):
Normally I'll see you in the building out there in
detail on boogie, but let's go ahead and get into
this interview. Man, you are the man out there in Dallas.
Obviously you have cdee Lamb, you have Jake Ferguson, but
somehow you wound up with forty nine receptions and led
the team in touchdowns with seven touchdowns.
Speaker 1 (31:18):
How do you file? How do you plan on following that.
Speaker 5 (31:20):
Up this year?
Speaker 13 (31:21):
Honestly, man, just continuing to build on the consistency that
I started. I think that's one of the big things,
is just coming in each and it every day and
I harping on what happened last year, but focusing on
the future in the present time of you know, what
I can do to be better this upcoming season, and
so just challenging myself every day to get better at
something wide receiver wise, you know, on and off the field.
Speaker 1 (31:42):
Well, listen, the presidence in the future involves a new
teammate in George Pickens. Jalen, how did you find out
the news that he was going to become a cowboy
and what has he been like early on to work with?
Speaker 13 (31:53):
Yeah, I talked to talk to him the night before
it actually came out, and so honestly, he's been great
to work with. He's picking out the playbook, great, he's
out here making plays. We're having fun. You know, it
cases the pass. We all dance, you know, we run
after each other, just compete. It's fun to have another
piece to the puzzle, another piece to our weapon weapon system.
(32:16):
So I think having him will definitely open up a
lot for not only myself, but for the other guys
in the room as well, CD included, and so, like
I said, it's been fun having him around. And I
actually had an ongoing relationship with him before because we
played against each other in high school. He's from Alabama
as well, and so I've known him for a while.
So it's fun to meet back up with him, you know,
(32:37):
after we went through the whole rookie years, you know,
NFL Combine to Draft to Rookie Premiere all together, and
so now we're.
Speaker 14 (32:44):
On the same team. We literally we were talking about
it yesterday.
Speaker 6 (32:46):
Nice nice stand in the wide receiver room. So again
I was at number three. I played with Randy Moss,
Chris Carter. It was hard for me to get the
ball obviously, right. You have, of course, CD, you have
pickings in there. Again, I'll give you the secret on
how to get the work right if you can know
both of their positions, so when they go out, you
take that position like that's how you kind of continue
(33:07):
to stay in the game plan, you know. So give
me some other things that you're going to know pretty
much plan on trying to do as.
Speaker 5 (33:13):
Far as get the ball this year for the Cowboys.
Speaker 13 (33:15):
Honestly, play my role the best that I can, the
best of my ability, and like you said, being versatile,
being able to play not only those two wide receiver
responsible playing the Y and Tim personnel and you know,
playing the slot whatever it is, play all four of them.
And doing my job. You know, I think it speaks
dividends to people that do their job. I think you know,
you will be rewarded, whether that's blocking you know, blocking
(33:36):
on the bubble screen for CD or running off and
clearing out for GP to catch you know, over route,
or whatever it may be. And so I know that,
like I say, my bats, my opportunities to come, and
I just have to be ready for when they do come.
And to that same question, you know, just continuing to
build that chemistry with that, you know, I think we've
built a great relationship over the past three and a
half years, and so just continuing to build that, continuing
(33:58):
to harp on the things that you know, he wants
us to work on together, and being where he wants
me to be at the right time. And I think
everything else will play out how I wanted to.
Speaker 2 (34:07):
You know, j T. Last year when I saw you
at training camp at Oxnard, you told me that a
big secret of that chemistry between you and Dak was
all the crawfish. I still don't know where you're getting
all these quality crawfish in Dallas? Am I mistaken? Isaiya?
Speaker 3 (34:19):
Apparently?
Speaker 2 (34:20):
Apparently there's spots out there. But yesterday your coach was
asked what success looks like for Dak. Prescott at Take
a Listen To twenty.
Speaker 3 (34:27):
Said, although the many statistics out there now, is.
Speaker 6 (34:31):
There one that you look at that will indicate to
you during the season that Dak is being successful right now?
Speaker 1 (34:36):
He's doing what you want him to do in your system.
Speaker 2 (34:38):
Yeah, wins pretty straightforward. I would agree, What can we
expect from Dak and your point of view in twenty
twenty five?
Speaker 13 (34:46):
First and foremost, that just gave me chills because that
doesn't Beak difvidence to Dak and like co say, I mean,
he wins and everything he wins, being the first person
in the building, the last one to leave. He wins
in the locker room, he wins in a meeting room,
on the field, off the field. So that's a guy
that you know says the standard for all of the
other guys in the locker room each and every day.
And to have him as a leader, a big brother,
(35:09):
mentor is surreal. And so, like I said, we just
keep following his lead and keep holding up the standard
that he said for us.
Speaker 6 (35:16):
And so I was pretty much talking about again that
whole wide receiver room, right, I think that for the
most part, like knowing every position is so important because
you just said it, Like when you can go to
why the ten personnel eleven personnel go inside outside? Like
that thing is so important from the offensive coordinator's perspective.
If the coordinator trust you and the quarterback trust you,
(35:39):
you'll always be on the field. Right, You're talking about
blocking and doing all those little things again for your
young receivers.
Speaker 5 (35:44):
Listening to JT.
Speaker 6 (35:45):
Right again, he's in a great wide receivers room. But
this is how you stay in the NFL for a
long period of time and then when it's your time, right,
you get paid when you become a free agent because
you have the numbers to back that up as well.
Speaker 2 (35:56):
Well.
Speaker 8 (35:56):
JT definitely has the numbers. He let the team with
them touchdowns with seven of them things. So keep doing
what you're doing there, But I want to hop to
the other side of the ball.
Speaker 1 (36:02):
Hey, there's a dude on the other side of the
ball that considers himself to.
Speaker 8 (36:06):
Be a lion and we call him aka Michael Parsons.
How important is he to your team the locker room
and how much are you and the rest of the
team kind of cheering him off for the big boy
contract that's to come.
Speaker 14 (36:18):
Yeah.
Speaker 13 (36:18):
Man, he's the centerpiece, not only on that side of
the ball, but off the whole team.
Speaker 14 (36:22):
And we love him around here. Obviously.
Speaker 13 (36:24):
He's a great player, great teammate to have, a hard worker, competitor,
and I think he's not even at his prime yet.
Speaker 14 (36:30):
I think he's still peeking.
Speaker 13 (36:31):
And that's the great part about having a player like
Micah is that you know, he continues to get better
each and every day, and so you know, we all
have his back, we all you know, every time we
see him, you know, he comes in the locker room
with a smile. There's no you know, negativity around the
situation is more so just you know, happy to see him,
happy to be around. He actually got mad at me
the other day for not answering the phone when he
(36:52):
did the prank, a good night prank.
Speaker 14 (36:55):
So I had to deal with that yesterday in the
locker room.
Speaker 1 (36:59):
The kind of pick it up when Eleven calls? You
know what I mean? I guess let's that be known
when I call you answer right, listen, Jalen there, I'm
going to just shoot you straight. The Cowboys are one
of these teams that has something kind of following them around.
And you see it like the Steelers haven't been able
to win a playoff game in a long time, the
Jets haven't been able to get to one in a
long time. The Cowboys haven't been to a title game
(37:21):
since before you were born. Why do you think the
twenty twenty five team might be the special one to
break that cycle?
Speaker 13 (37:27):
Honestly because of the energy that we have, the culture
that coach Shatti is building. It starts from the locker
room and goes out. It's not the other way. You know,
exits and those will come. But you have to know
your brother, You have to know the guy playing beside
you there. Why understand why they do it and who
they do it for. And honestly, you can you can
push people out of you know dark holes, you know
(37:48):
bad moments. You know, even through the good moments, you
can continue to challenge them to be better.
Speaker 14 (37:51):
In that aspect.
Speaker 13 (37:52):
And I think you can do that when you truly
know the god next to you and understand why they're
doing it. And so that's been a big emphasis in
this offseason is just you know, know your brothers, know
your why, know yourself, know your strengths and weaknesses.
Speaker 14 (38:05):
And I think it starts there.
Speaker 13 (38:07):
And then obviously as you're going on the field, you know,
sometimes you may not be, you know, the fastest or whatever,
but you're gonna you're gonna look like it, and you're
gonna play besides your brother like it. And you know,
if you down, you know half a piece that your
brother carried the other half a piece for you.
Speaker 14 (38:21):
And so shot he's been big on that.
Speaker 13 (38:23):
And we're loving the energy, the culture that is being
created around here, and we're having fun with it each
and every day.
Speaker 2 (38:30):
You know, one of the things that I've been looking
through the video there of Mini camp and when you
guys are working out, one of the nuances that folks
may not get to see is who gets the ox chord.
I'm wondering if you get it. Is it all country
music because you're a big fan, right who's your country
artists right now?
Speaker 13 (38:48):
We actually have a piece of paper you can write
down songs on. And we have a guy we call
him DJ Daniels, so he plays the ones and two
as far as while we're at practice. And like I say,
the guys love the energy, love the music. They we're
able to listen to it practice. It brings just a
little extra touch to it. And uh, you know, we're
even all chasing after the ball, you know, running full
speed after you know, whoever catches the ball or running
(39:09):
back bus through the whole we're all chasing, you know,
finishing in the in zone with him. And you know,
those are two things that just are completely different from
practice before. And so like I said, we're all having
fun out there, and it's actually fun to you know,
compete with who gets to the end zone first without
the ball, you know, like we're racing each other getting
there and then have to run all the way back
and you know, do another place.
Speaker 14 (39:29):
So like I said, we're having fun with it.
Speaker 13 (39:31):
We're creating a different field, different culture around here, and uh,
it's exciting.
Speaker 2 (39:36):
I love that I've had Shaboozie and Cowboy Carter on
repeat as of late Dayalen, thank you so much for
coming through.
Speaker 3 (39:42):

Speaker 14 (40:18):

Speaker 8 (40:18):
We're building something special and you're gonna be a huge
party bro.
Speaker 15 (40:22):

something Coach Harbor. Appreciate you, man, but I'll.
Speaker 8 (40:48):
Be don't be the guy doesn't know that the prank
is being played.
Speaker 2 (40:53):
There was a missed up because typically when the guy
is my favorite trend right now on the internet, they like, hey, man,
I just want to say sweet dreams.
Speaker 3 (40:59):
I'm getting into bed right now.
Speaker 2 (41:00):
And so most dudes they're like why why in me?
Coach was so.
Speaker 1 (41:05):
You know why he was so thoughtful? If you got
we don't have the clip.
Speaker 8 (41:08):
But in his press conference yesterday okay, following the first
mini cap practice, Coach Shotty gets on there and genuinely says,
I thought he just missed me.
Speaker 6 (41:17):
Look, no, he doesn't doesn't miss you at all. But
if my boys call me a sagod night, they getting
hung up on.
Speaker 1 (41:23):
That's just that's the response.
Speaker 3 (41:25):
Isaiah calls you up good.
Speaker 1 (41:26):
Night, brother, honey, honey, who's on the phone. Oh it
was just Isaiah calling his saod night.
Speaker 5 (41:32):
What what's weird? Weird?
Speaker 1 (41:35):
But you know what, my takeaway from that clip is that, like,
I think shot Nie was pretty cool. He's looked at
this guy who's boring or something like, I think I
love his dynamic a lot. I'm team shoddy right now.
He came up well in that.
Speaker 8 (41:46):
But how about the fact that Mikel said, take a
shotty for me, Shody. He said, Oh, I'm taking a
shotty right now.
Speaker 1 (41:51):
I'm ahead of you. I'm ahead of you.
Speaker 2 (41:53):
I'm mature man like yeah, man, call me SA good night.
It's all good.
Speaker 3 (41:57):
It's good Dallas, guys.
Speaker 2 (42:00):
I love that.
Speaker 5 (42:01):
Don't call me, don't call.
Speaker 6 (42:04):

Speaker 5 (42:04):
