Speaker 1 (00:04):
Good Morning Football is the production of the NFL in
partnership with iHeartRadio.
Speaker 2 (00:22):
Good Morning Football.
Speaker 3 (00:24):
Hey, everybody, welcome to Good Morning Football. We are presented
by Old Trapper, Beef, Jerky off Bar, Buzz Bamilla and
I sit here live in Los Angeles. Peter Scheger and
Kulibrant are live in New York City.
Speaker 4 (00:36):
We got to get right to it.
Speaker 3 (00:37):
We have to get right to the lead block because
this game takes up so much time in our in
our emotional landscape preparing for this week.
Speaker 4 (00:46):
Okay, brave. It's head coach John Harbaugh.
Speaker 3 (00:49):
He's seen a lot of quarterbacks come through his division
in the DMV area. Now he has high praise for
the commander's first year QB.
Speaker 4 (00:58):
Take a listen.
Speaker 5 (01:00):
I just you know, I see a really good quarterback.
I mean, you know, it's every week you you look
at the quarterback. That's where the offense starts. Jaden Daniels
is you know. Heck, he's played what five games now,
and he's been one of the best in the league
for five games so far as a rookie. Every quarterback
plays their own unique way. Similarities, differences, you know, is
always that part of it. But we just have to
(01:20):
look at him and how he fits into their offense
and prepare for their offense as run by him. And
that's a big challenge and we got our hands full
of that. So that's how we look at it as
a defense.
Speaker 2 (01:32):
All right.
Speaker 3 (01:33):
These teams are both coming off of win streaks into
this game. They both sit atop their division. We never
saw this coming, Peter. We are obsessed with it. Come
week six showdown between Ravens Commanders one Eastern on CBS
on Sunday.
Speaker 4 (01:49):
Where do you go, Peter? Take us there.
Speaker 6 (01:51):
I love setting the table here on a Wednesday because
it's like, all right, we just got through week five.
Now we flipped the page and it's a new set
of games. And the first thing you see at one
o'clock in the afternoon, How rare do you get an
early window game of the week. And that's what this is.
And there's so much to really pick apart here.
Speaker 2 (02:09):
You've got our.
Speaker 6 (02:10):
Embedded MVP, our guy that we've been owing an eyeing
over since twenty nineteen in Lamar Jackson.
Speaker 2 (02:16):
And then you've got this fresh.
Speaker 6 (02:17):
New blood who is doing the same things that Lamar
did in his first year as a starter, which was
his second year as an NFL player, where he's taking
the league by storm and they're both playing in this
Beltway DMV and I know Baltimore people are like, we're
not DMV.
Speaker 2 (02:33):
I'll say that we're different.
Speaker 4 (02:35):
We're our own little world.
Speaker 1 (02:36):
That the thing.
Speaker 6 (02:36):
Yeah, it's down there in that Maryland, Virginia, DC area
and there's like this awesome geographic field of.
Speaker 2 (02:44):
This where it's like a Battle of the Beltway. And
it's early enough in the season where it's like, is
this a Super Bowl preview? Can you even say that
with a straight face? You can, because no two teams.
Speaker 6 (02:55):
Are playing better football over the last three weeks of
football than the Ravens and the Commanders. Just as an aside,
jaded and Lamar Jaden comes in obviously this red hot
start as a rookie, Lamar as the reigning MVP and like,
these guys make you believe anything as possible in the NFL.
(03:16):
You know, Lamar Jackson comes in as this decorated college player,
he's now won two MVPs and does it on his
terms with no agent and be able to negotiate his
own deal.
Speaker 1 (03:25):
He wouldn't run a forty Peter coming out wouldn't.
Speaker 6 (03:27):
Run a forty if they asked him the run running
back in wide receiver.
Speaker 2 (03:30):
No molse, he said, screw you, and guess what.
Speaker 6 (03:33):
He's right here and he's three and two and looks
as good as ever looked. Then you go to Jaden,
the new breed of a quarterback where he was at
one school, had to transfer, goes to a new school,
wins a Heidsman, the new cool plays fifty five games
in college, has injuries in college, and then he gets
into the league and he's doing it at such an
amazing rate. I cannot wait to see these two two
(03:54):
quarterbacks not only play, I want to see them interact beforehand.
I want to see all the dialogue that they have
if there's anyone micd up afterwards. I can't wait for
this one. And it's one of those rare where it's like,
you're the king right now and you own this market,
and you've owned this market since you got in the
league in twenty eighteen. But I'm coming And is it
just respect? Is it just hey, I respect you, or
(04:15):
is it I'm coming for that crown. I love this stuff.
They only play once every four years, so it's not
going to be a division rivalry twice a year and
all that savor it while you can Jaden vsus Lamar
Part one, I'm here for it.
Speaker 2 (04:27):
I can't wait.
Speaker 7 (04:27):
It's a big time game and those two are the headliners,
and so it's easy to get caught up in that.
But there's something else that's quietly happening too, because I'm
following more and more in love with with the Washington Commanders.
That defense has gotten so much better, and especially when
you think about them bringing b Wags over b Wags
has kind of changed the culture quietly amongst the players
(04:49):
and just the way they're playing their dogs out there
right now. You look at Frankie Louvu, you look at
Dorence Armstrong. Both those guys both have three sacks. They
leave the team with their sacks and they are applying
so much pressure and I love to see that. Defensively,
they're stepping up. I mean a weakness that I think
that was addressed by bringing in dogs who can play.
And then on the other side, you look at the
(05:10):
other side with the Baltimore Ravens, that's a defense that
is elite. That's gonna be a big time matchup. So
not only are gonna have offensive firepower going, but you're
also gonna have a match of the defensive mind stopping
two offensive powerhouses on both.
Speaker 2 (05:24):
Sides of the ball.
Speaker 7 (05:25):
But I'm actually loving the way this is gonna match up.
And then I also one to two go on the
other side too. I'm all over the place with this.
But Derrick Henry, Derrick Henry is not and I said
this before, he was the Shaquille O'Neill to Kobe Bryant,
which is Lamar Jackson, and it is worked out exactly
this way. So I'm loving this combination. He is not
(05:46):
just a downhill player. He's a guy that when he
gets out into the open, he'll take a little one cup.
People think because he two hundred and fifty pounds he's
built like me.
Speaker 2 (05:54):
We're like the same size.
Speaker 7 (05:55):
Like he's a d lineman running back, and you just
think he's just a bulldozer. Straight down, he'll take a
one step jag on you and try to break to
the outside. He's a diverse and very good running back.
I love Derrick Henry in this game matchup. So I'm
watching this whole thing. But my whole breakdown is really defense.
How they're gonna stop Derrick Henry and how the heck
are they gonna stop this young kid?
Speaker 4 (06:15):
And Jane Daniels eye candy?
Speaker 8 (06:17):
What bar?
Speaker 1 (06:17):
We got to credit you. I remember when you first
made the Derrick Henry shack comparison.
Speaker 2 (06:21):
It was early.
Speaker 1 (06:22):
Come on, ogbar, He's not gonna be shack on the Lakers.
He might be able to still have some good performances. Look,
he has been unbelievable, better than anybody thought, certainly better
than I thought. You were one of the few people
who's like, no, he's going to be lights out, and
he has been. I would just say I can't think
of a week six game that is this excited, this anticipated.
This is a big weekend. I think for some people
(06:43):
that I certainly roll with big apple picking weekends is a.
Speaker 2 (06:47):
Big app It's right, it's been.
Speaker 1 (06:48):
Nice, Kyle, Yeah, great, it's forty dollars rapples, Peter. We're
not going like a you know, kite surfing.
Speaker 2 (06:54):
I'm talking about a Sunday at the orchard. Give me one. Well.
Speaker 1 (06:57):
My point is, if you're gonna get dragged, and no
one is not dragged to apple picking, get it done early.
You can get there at eight, get it done. You
want to be here for the one o'clock Eastern kickoff.
We're seeing CBS on the screen there. I contribute to
the NFL today and CBS I am this weekend and
I suggested them, you know, maybe I'll give you something
about Commanders Ravens.
Speaker 2 (07:17):
I have some content on that. And they were like,
we're good on that. We're going big on that. We're
the whole shows. Heup is full there.
Speaker 1 (07:23):
Yeah, we are doing a lot. You know, JJ and
Matt Ryan and they they're all talking about Commander's Ravens
and that's just part of the excitement. I think the
part of the excitement for Jaydeon Daniels is if you
wanted to poke holes in him and bend over backwards
to do so. There is not the hashtag signature win.
The competition has not been great. Giants, Bengals, Cardinals, Browns,
that's who they've beaten. And fine, they've beaten them really well.
(07:46):
This is Stratospair's stuff. If you go into Baltimore and
beat the Ravens and beat Lamar, this is not you know,
going to Arizona and beating Kyler Murray and you know,
I like the Cardinals. This is totally different. This is,
Oh my god, he beat the two time MVP. He
won in Baltimore with the smoke and the nelly and
all the hell that stuff. I think it really if
you think we're talking a lot of Jadan Daniels, now,
(08:07):
this is a rocket to the moon Jaden Daniels. I
have already been like, this is the kind of game
where there's going to be extensive breakdowns of Jayden and
Lamar's embrace after the game. There's going to be lip
reading body language experts, there's going to be six hundred
cameras surrounding the two of them, and the reason they're
doing it. It feels like the superstar and the guy
(08:28):
who's got next. Now Mahomes is Mahomes and all that,
but like this is just too cool, too big, and frankly,
like I don't think the Commander's defense can stop the
Baltimore offense.
Speaker 2 (08:36):
I just haven't seen that, and I almost.
Speaker 1 (08:38):
Don't want them to because I want it to be
first to forty I would love forty one to thirty eight.
And if it's a Justin Tucker walk off kicker on
the other side, fine, but I'm so excited I can't
picking done early were you going you I.
Speaker 2 (08:49):
Get that, you might get that.
Speaker 6 (08:50):
You look at Cincinnati Baltimore last week. Joe Burrow threw
for three ninety two and five touchdowns, Like, there's no
reason that Jayden Daniels can't light this team up. But
I also will say this, and here I am white
man on television, scared we go.
Speaker 2 (09:02):
I just got done watching the Evolution of the Black Quarterback.
Speaker 6 (09:04):
Did documentary on Amazon, and they interviewed Charlie Ward and
Shaq Harris and all these guys who weren't quarterbacks in
the NFL, and a lot of those reasons being we
just can't see it well all the different people that
laid the groundwork. You've got Jaden Daniels, who people think
is too slight and wouldn't maybe necessarily have been a quarterback.
Speaker 2 (09:22):
In the NFL in the nineteen nineties.
Speaker 6 (09:24):
And then you've got Lamar Jackson, who has defied every
stereotype for quarterback play in the NFL based on build.
Speaker 2 (09:30):
Style, all that stuff.
Speaker 6 (09:32):
Two awesome young African American quarterbacks playing in that backyard
where it is the DMV, where there's geographical ties to
every local person in the building. During they're torn between
the two I can't wait for this, and I think
it shows how far we've come as a league and
that we're just talking about football and not look, here's
what we had Like this is awesome.
Speaker 2 (09:52):
Both these guys deserve this platform.
Speaker 6 (09:54):
And thank you to all the great quarterbacks and people
who led the way to make us have this moment today.
Speaker 3 (09:58):
Yeap, Peter, We're not that far removed from the first
Super Bowl that featured two starting black quarterbacks and Patrick
Mahomes Jalen Hurts, and now we have to appreciate and
understand the story. But the fact that Peter's point, this
is week six and this is just part of the
conversation and it's really cool and I know you appreciated
that so much, Peter. Two things I want to pick
your brain on as it pertains to this game. One
(10:19):
is Kyle has been harping on the fact that it
flex it to Sunday Night NBC take this game. There
is real TV possessiveness when it comes to windows and
networks and time slots and the number of times that
a network like CBS can say, don't touch our game.
This is our game. We're leaving it on CBS. Also,
just a little history on the Ravens and Washington as
(10:43):
a whole, the history, the anger, the battles that they've had,
and the fact that if I'm John Harbaugh, I might
be sitting here and seeing like a nice, resurgent Washington
football team. Commanders come in and be like, no, no, this
has been my area of expertise now in the last
ten years since I've been coaching.
Speaker 4 (10:58):
You're not going to come in and beat us.
Speaker 3 (10:59):
Like, there has to be a pride factor here for
Harbaugh in this matchup specifically.
Speaker 2 (11:04):
Yeah.
Speaker 6 (11:04):
Look, I think first with the network side of it,
which is so smart that you didn't bring that up.
The network puts together a list of all the games
that they would want in a desired order one to
ten before the season.
Speaker 2 (11:13):
They hand that before the schedules.
Speaker 6 (11:14):
Come out, and then an NFL network people in the
NFL they've sorted all out. That's Mike North and Annie
Bows and Charlotte Carey and that team.
Speaker 2 (11:21):
Fine.
Speaker 6 (11:21):
I don't think anyone thought Baltimore Washington this was just
going to be a generic CBS one o'clock game.
Speaker 2 (11:26):
I also don't know.
Speaker 6 (11:27):
If they protected it or not, but this was like
when you assigned Nance and Romo to a one o'clock
Washington Commander's game. A commander's team that has no primetime
games at the moment. It tells you where the Jaden
Daniels train is going. Secondly, the history is rich. It
used to be Redskins in DC, Colts in Baltimore. All right,
Colts leave for about ten years and then it's just
(11:48):
all Redskins. It was all Redskins fans in DC, and
then the Ravens come and it's kind of this like thing,
like we don't even pay attention. And now for the
last two decades it's been all Ravens with success, and
Washington hasn't been good. This is the first time in
my recent memory that both these teams are good at
the same time.
Speaker 2 (12:04):
And that's twenty years being in the same market as friends.
I have beat with Mike North, Peter.
Speaker 1 (12:08):
I know the history is great, but Mike, we love you.
You didn't love Jade Daniels coming out. He doesn't have
a primetime game until week eleven. I actually heard if
I'm not making all Jade and Daniels in his locker
has a picture of Mike North long hair, Yeah, like
Balboa has a picture of Drago's a schedule maker, Mike North,
who makes the schedule Jade Daniels.
Speaker 2 (12:29):
I've heard. I can't confirm.
Speaker 1 (12:30):
Oh, there's a picture in his locker and every day
when he gets ready, he looks at schedule maker and
schedules are Mike North to motivate himself because he doesn't
have any primetime games till week eleven. Caleb got prime
Dalis right, come on, mi.
Speaker 6 (12:43):
J Stroud texted Jayden Daniels after that, the Texans never
had had prime time. Stroud texted him that picture of
Mike North and goes.
Speaker 2 (12:50):
Here, here's who you focus on this year. This is
what I focused on last year.
Speaker 7 (12:53):
Wow, here's that question. I'm not quite sure how this works.
If I'm going to say, when the Commanders beat the Ravens,
when can they start flexing, because I would say that
they would get a primetime game before that week eleven.
Is there a way to flex after Week six?
Speaker 2 (13:10):
Yeah, I'm not sure.
Speaker 6 (13:11):
If we if it starts still, it used to start
in week like thirteen or fourteen, the flexing, I think
they moved it earlier.
Speaker 1 (13:16):
Op.
Speaker 6 (13:16):
Part's a good question. I do assume we will be
seeing plenty more in the last half of the season
of Jayda and Daniels and big games in the category.
Speaker 3 (13:23):
Of friends of the show, though the schedule makers at
the NFL are like top of our list.
Speaker 4 (13:27):
So we just want everyone to know Mike North is
like one.
Speaker 3 (13:29):
Of the sweetest people ever in like this is.
Speaker 6 (13:32):
All hates Jane Dan hate Jayden, hate some hate hate
command here the.
Speaker 1 (13:35):
Commanders hate Shane Daniels.
Speaker 2 (13:37):
Hate l Usu.
Speaker 1 (13:37):
You know what, Mike, don't deny the schedules right there?
Speaker 8 (13:40):
Oh, thank you?
Speaker 2 (13:43):
Week eleven.
Speaker 3 (13:44):
Week eleven, Ian Rappaport, Good morning to you again, my friends,
and it's week six.
Speaker 4 (13:49):
Were is upon us.
Speaker 3 (13:51):
We just did the NFL today treatment of one game.
It took up our entire eblock. What else we have
to look at a week.
Speaker 9 (13:56):
Six West, Yeah, there's some other games and some other
situations in the NFL.
Speaker 2 (14:00):
Will start with the New Orleans Saints.
Speaker 9 (14:02):
They're starting quarterback expect to miss a couple weeks at
least with an abdominal strain, essentially a tiny tear in.
Speaker 2 (14:09):
His abdominal muscle.
Speaker 9 (14:10):
This according to me and colleague Mike Garafolo, that means
Derek Carr not expected to play this week, not expected
to play next week. They have two games in ten days,
tough schedule for the New Orleans Saints. So you're going
to have another starting quarterback out there, and I'm sure
you know the assumption will be while it's just, you know,
the backup, it might not be the backup. It might
actually be Spencer Rattler, the rookie really impressed in training
(14:33):
camp and then going through some things, they certainly have
a decision to make.
Speaker 2 (14:37):
Dennis Allen and these Saints coaches.
Speaker 9 (14:38):
There's actually a real possibility that we see Spencer Ratler
out on the field this week for New Orleans. Meanwhile,
for the New England Patriots, we are going to see
a new quarterback as well. At moment that Patriots fans
have been absolutely waiting for forever. Drake May, the number
three overall pick, expected to make his first NFL start
(15:00):
this Sunday against the Texans and going forward, got a
little bit of action in this seasons, got hit a
couple of times, went back in. It was Jacoby Brissett
who remained as the starter.
Speaker 2 (15:09):
That has all.
Speaker 9 (15:10):
Changed now as the Patriots begin their practice week, it
is their highly touted rookie expected to be the quarterback.
And then I would say a mild surprise yesterday afternoon
for the Philadelphia Eagles. Devin White, who they signed this
offseason to some great fanfare, the former Pro Bowl for
the Tampa Bay Bucks. He really never quite fit in
(15:30):
with the Philadelphia Eagles. I know it's something Vic Fanjo
didn't really see a fit for. In his defense, he
has now been released. So Devin White, who they tried
to trade over the last couple weeks found no takers,
now a free agent halfway through the season.
Speaker 3 (15:43):
Guys got to address what's going on in Philadelphia. No
team didn't need to buy any less than the Eagles
did coming up because they just became anonymous essentially.
Speaker 4 (15:52):
Last week.
Speaker 3 (15:53):
I got to turn the page on the Eagles and
see what they have for the remainder of the season.
Speaker 4 (15:57):
Rap sheet, Thank you so much. There's a couple of rookies.
Speaker 3 (16:00):
Out there that deserve perhaps the primetime treatment. We get that,
but we have our own version of primetime treatment on
this program, and it's called Shrigger's Fabulous Five. It's what
rookie shined in Week five. Peter's gonna put a spotlight
on him. There's a list we tweeted out, you guys,
have beef with it.
Speaker 4 (16:16):
It's all a thing we got going on here.
Speaker 2 (16:29):
Good morning football.
Speaker 8 (16:31):
Hello.
Speaker 6 (16:32):
Those are five numbers and we do this every week.
It's the top five rookies of the week.
Speaker 2 (16:37):
It's Shrigger's Fab five.
Speaker 6 (16:39):
Let's get right into it, the top five rookie performances
of week five.
Speaker 2 (16:43):
And at number five, we start.
Speaker 6 (16:45):
Off with Giants rookie running back Tyrone Tracy. Tyrone Tracy
gets the nod if we find out that Devin Singletary
isn't gonna go on Saturday night. He's added to this
about everyone's fantasy team. And in the rare instance actually
they were exceeds expectators that it was like, I pick
this guy up one waiver.
Speaker 2 (17:02):
It's he was amazing.
Speaker 6 (17:03):
The Giants knew they had this guy a Ferrari in
the garage, if you will.
Speaker 2 (17:07):
He'd been sharing carries with Eric.
Speaker 6 (17:08):
Gray, and of course Devin Singletary just had a chance
to break out, had an outstanding training camp and now is.
Speaker 2 (17:15):
Stepping it up in real life. Here.
Speaker 6 (17:16):
Tyron Tracy played a little bit in those first few games,
and then against.
Speaker 2 (17:19):
Seattle gets the nod.
Speaker 6 (17:21):
One hundred and twenty nine rushing yards on eighteen carries
in a win in a win, most rushing yards by
a New York Giants player since Saquon did it in
Week ten of twenty twenty two.
Speaker 2 (17:36):
Now that's cool about this iron Giant.
Speaker 6 (17:38):
Tracy was a wide receiver at Purdue. They moved him
to running back. When he performed at the Combine this year,
his family was in the crowd.
Speaker 2 (17:46):
Cheering for it, and as a local product, they were.
Speaker 6 (17:48):
All there rooting for him, and in Seattle they were
rooting for a lot.
Speaker 2 (17:52):
Let's go to number four.
Speaker 6 (17:53):
We go to the defensive side of the ball, and
we go to a guy that Packers fans are falling
in love with, Evan Williams, number thirty three. This guy
has been an absolute terror this season. He's been awesome
the first four weeks. Week five, he gets the start
and he's all over the field.
Speaker 2 (18:09):
If you're on the.
Speaker 6 (18:10):
Packers' blogs or the Packer message boards, you would know
this guy has talked about more than Jordan Love Yeah,
and more than more than Josh Jacobs did more.
Speaker 2 (18:18):
Than all of them.
Speaker 6 (18:19):
Evan Williams lined up next to Xavier McKinney, has been
all over the field. He had ten tackles and two
passes defended. Look at this cool stat. We got first
career start in your last ten seasons, usually a safety.
Speaker 10 (18:29):
Right.
Speaker 2 (18:30):
Look at these two names.
Speaker 6 (18:31):
Brian Branch for the best in the game to the Lions,
and of course Buddha Baker, a perennial all pro. Evan
Williams did the same thing week five against the Rams.
Speaker 2 (18:40):
Number three.
Speaker 6 (18:42):
Can we go to those throwback uniforms?
Speaker 2 (18:44):
Can we see some Ferris Bueller? Can we get some
bone Nicks?
Speaker 6 (18:49):
Bo Nicks is number three on our list and Payton
afterwards say he's got a little fairst Bueller and them.
Speaker 2 (18:53):
We just still don't know what that means. I guess mischievous.
But bo Nicks had fun with it.
Speaker 6 (18:58):
Put on his Instagram, did a whole cut up with Ferris.
So I'm like, I'd love to show this on there,
but we can't. That TwixT commercial theme song you have the.
Speaker 1 (19:06):
Song oh yeah, yellow, yeah yeah.
Speaker 2 (19:08):
Boom boom boom boom.
Speaker 6 (19:09):
All right, and Boneecks in those old school uniforms played
the role.
Speaker 2 (19:16):
This wasn't like he did a week before against the
Jets where he got a win in rainy weather.
Speaker 6 (19:20):
No, Bonecks played awesome and had the stats to match
career high.
Speaker 2 (19:24):
One hundred and seventeen point two passer rating.
Speaker 6 (19:27):
He had career high as a completion percentage, passing, touchdowns,
and passer rating, and he broke the streak of eight
straight losses for the Raid for.
Speaker 2 (19:35):
The Broncos versus the Raiders.
Speaker 6 (19:36):
Important Nix is now just one win behind Drew Lock
and John Oway for most wins by a rookie starting
for the Broncos.
Speaker 2 (19:44):
Already ready, no, that is it? Bone Nix is on
his way, mister Ferris Buehler, which leads to our top two.
Speaker 6 (19:52):
In the last few weeks, these guys have been the
top two, and I'm sorry to.
Speaker 2 (19:57):
The Fits of Chicago.
Speaker 6 (19:58):
I still have Jaded Daniels as one, Caleb as number two.
Speaker 2 (20:03):
Caleb's been unbelievable.
Speaker 6 (20:04):
First Bears rookie to ever throw for three hundred passing yards,
two passing touchdowns and zero interceptions in a game.
Speaker 2 (20:12):
Caleb Williams was terrific.
Speaker 6 (20:15):
Against the Panthers on Sunday twenty to twenty nine, three
h four at his passing yards per attempt was ten
and a half yards.
Speaker 2 (20:23):
So this is not dinking dunk.
Speaker 6 (20:25):
We're getting a lot out of him here, and of
course you love that last one passer rating one hundred
and twenty six point.
Speaker 2 (20:30):
Two, and he does.
Speaker 6 (20:31):
He's doing it, and he's getting better and better every
single week. But Number one can't hype this guy enough
on this show. He's gonna pay the bills for us.
If we can get this guy to do any better.
I would love to see it. I love coming in
the morning and talking about Jaden Daniels.
Speaker 2 (20:46):
He was outstanding again, did.
Speaker 6 (20:48):
Everything you possibly could against a good Browns defense. Like
you're talking about Miles Garrett breathing down his neck and
some of these star defenders. The Browns have a huge
payroll and Jaden Daniels just went to work on him.
Jaden Daniels yet again a monster game. Washington is the
first team since the nineteen seventy merger to have scored
one hundred and fifty more points in their first five
(21:09):
games of a season with a rookie starting quarterback.
Speaker 2 (21:12):
That's how good he's been.
Speaker 6 (21:13):
First team since Kyle the merger in stub Merger. One
of my favorite praises, Daniels is the first player in
NFL history with one thousand passing yards to two hundred
and fifty rushing yards in his first five games, and
he's doing it in the first five games of the season.
It's not like we're inserting him in week eleven after
he's had ten weeks to get comfortable. This Commander's team.
They've got thirty one points per game, that's best in
(21:35):
the league. The completion percentage he leads the league. His
passer rating leads the league.
Speaker 2 (21:40):
And as far as rushing.
Speaker 6 (21:41):
Yards from the quarterback spot he leaves the league, he ranks.
Speaker 2 (21:45):
Since Secty's having all these things. And then if you
look here for all three of these rookie.
Speaker 6 (21:49):
Quarterbacks, and we got to give love to Nicks and
Caleb as well.
Speaker 2 (21:53):
They started off a little.
Speaker 6 (21:54):
Rough, but in the last two weeks eight and one,
their last three weeks eight.
Speaker 2 (21:58):
And one, and they have done it all stat wise.
You can look at all that gobbily cook if you want.
Speaker 6 (22:02):
The truth of the matter is these rookie quarterbacks are delivering.
And we get Drake May on the field yeah this week.
So there you have it, folks, Schrager's vabulous five. We go, Tyrone, Tracy.
Speaker 2 (22:13):
We Go, Evan Williams. If you're a drinker, you love
that name.
Speaker 6 (22:15):
And if you're a Packers fan, you love it even more,
and then of course you go three two one the
big name quarterbacks, Nicks, Caleb Daniels. If we forgot your
favorite player, I know Brock Bauers had a big day
and a loss A lot of times. I like giving
winning players love because it means they were celebrating the
locker room afterwards. No receivers on this list, but a
(22:37):
lot of quarterbacks and some safety and a versus running
back who used to be a receiver.
Speaker 2 (22:41):
Kyle, your thoughts on the Fab five.
Speaker 1 (22:43):
It's cool that you share the stories and the running
backs to positions fensive backs. I want one of these
weeks to just have all them quarterbacks lined up, just
Drake May back.
Speaker 7 (22:50):
Then.
Speaker 1 (22:50):
The only one I don't want to see is Michael
Pennox because I don't want Couzins.
Speaker 2 (22:53):
To get hurt. But I liked it there. It's really
cool that Nick's there.
Speaker 1 (22:56):
I thought it was gonna take a while before bow
Knicks was there, but it's great to see Drake May
Next week, I want you on Peter's lift in this segment,
do you hear me?
Speaker 3 (23:02):
I hope so, Kyle, can I interest you and some
Spencer Rattler maybe next week he could make the top
five and have.
Speaker 4 (23:08):
That whole list. Good cor Peter, I love that Tyron
Tracy is there.
Speaker 3 (23:11):
Yet I feel kind of badly for him because in
a week where the Giants kind of got things back
on track, they kind of figure things out, the Jets
are like, no, let me just like take all the
headlines from you.
Speaker 1 (23:21):
I feel badly he could be totally celebrating.
Speaker 4 (23:23):
Tyron Tracy right now.
Speaker 2 (23:24):
The Jets are like, this should be Tyron Tracy week.
You're right, you're right, and now it's fired Solo week.
Speaker 4 (23:29):
You're right, you see Tyron Tracy. That's why we have
strikes fab five.
Speaker 7 (23:32):
I appreciate too the death that you go too, because
Evan Williams for the Packers, the dude's a baller, So
I appreciate that. It's very easy to go with the
big name offensive players. So that that one I appreciate.
But then you and I, you and I are are
sympatico on jayde Daniels because both you and I said
that he was going to be Rookie of the Year.
Speaker 2 (23:50):
I'm still in prison bar and he continues to get it.
I didn't expect this, did you. I mean, he exceeds
my expectations. Do you see it going like this?
Speaker 7 (23:58):
Yeah, I'd be lying if I say, oh, yeah, this
is exactly.
Speaker 2 (24:00):
How I saw.
Speaker 7 (24:01):
I knew he's gonna be big, but I didn't think
he was gonna be like this. And then the fact
that you just see him getting better. Sometimes you get
like the spike and the surge, and then you just plateau.
He just keeps getting better, getting out of the pocket,
extending plays, not necessarily always wanting to rush. He's outstanding well.
Speaker 3 (24:16):
As we talked about last at the top of this
hour with him, is like he everyone always trying to
get on, like that was that guy's heisman moment, Like
maybe this is his this weekend's signature win that he
needs against the Ravens.
Speaker 11 (24:27):
Jerry, what we got We did just get some news
in the Jets, Robert Sala, their former head coach, making
a statement. But before we get to that, as you
may remember, he was replaced by defensive coordinator jeff Oldbrick,
who is now going to serve as the injured coach
for the rest of the season. Sawid going just twenty
and thirty six in three seasons in New York. The
defense not the problem. Is Gang Green rate second in
(24:50):
the NFL in yards allowed per game, but twenty seventh
overall in total offense. Here's Jets owner Woody Johnson on
why he made this decision to make a change.
Speaker 10 (25:01):
I wanted to give this team the most opportunity to
win this season. I feel that we had to go
in a different direction, and that's why I did that today.
This change, the change that we made today that I made,
I believe will bring new energy and positivity that will
lead to more wins starting now. You know, I've been
doing this for twenty five years now. This is probably
(25:23):
the best team I've had in twenty five years. I
just felt that the best way to go forward with
a new direction. It's not an easy decision. This required
a lot of soul searching and you know, looking back
at my experience in sports and particularly with the New
York Jets for twenty five years, and so I took it.
I took I took it very seriously. And that's why
(25:46):
I made the decision because I thought it. I thought
and think that it's going to make us more competitive
and it's going to help us reach the goals that
the team.
Speaker 8 (25:55):
And I want to accomplish, so I was the owner,
and as I mentioned, Robert's all releasing a statement just
this morning thinking Jets players, coaches, and fan saying, in quote,
every one of you were all in and made sacrifices
for one another that will never be forgotten.
Speaker 11 (26:11):
I wish you all the very best and the remainder
of the season. And Jamie, in very true Robert Sola fashion,
he ended his statement with all gas, no breaks.
Speaker 4 (26:21):
Oh we love that from Sala. We always have.
Speaker 3 (26:24):
This is a strange time and I actually really appreciated Sherry.
Speaker 4 (26:26):
Thank you.
Speaker 3 (26:27):
Jeff Ulbrick in his opening press conference yesterday just acknowledging
the work that Sala did and the fact that his
firing was still on the shoulders of the coaches that
were in that building. I thought that was really a
big of Ulbrick in the fact that he's taking.
Speaker 4 (26:41):
Over this position now.
Speaker 3 (26:42):
Since we have to continue to talk about this and
how the Jets move forward, this becomes the conversation and
the question at hand to here on GMFP, Peter, if
you have one person that you want to take your
eyes to and watch operates over the next few days
as this team tries to get things back on track
ahead of Monday Night Football in the season, who's that
one person for you?
Speaker 6 (27:02):
This is a bizarre season for the Jets, Jets fans,
and that's saying a lot considering what they've been through
in recent years. But I think there's no situation in
football that's more bizarre than this Hassan Reddick deal.
Speaker 2 (27:10):
Hassan Redick is still not with the Jets.
Speaker 6 (27:12):
He's missing out on eight hundred thousand dollars every time
he's in step foot on the field, and his contract
is it gonna end? And then it's gona be like, Okay,
he's a free agent and he's gonna lose millions and
millions of dollars when not playing.
Speaker 2 (27:21):
Here was Woody Johnson, the owner of the Jets, making
a pleato Redtic to just join the team yesterday on this.
Speaker 10 (27:27):
Call, Dom, get in your car, drive down ninety five
and come to the New York Jets and we can
we can meet you and give you an escort right
into the building and you'll fit right in and you're
gonna love it here, and you're going to feel welcome
and you're going to accomplish great things with us.
Speaker 2 (27:44):
Wow, this seems very welcoming. To me, and I don't
think it was solid.
Speaker 6 (27:49):
The reason why he wasn't there, Hassan Reddick, I know
you're out in South Jersey somewhere. I know it's about
two hours and if traffic is bad, maybe.
Speaker 2 (27:56):
Two and a half.
Speaker 6 (27:57):
We'll get you an easy pass the whole thing. Show
up on Monday, be a hero. Show up on Monday,
sack Josh Allen and look to the crowd like you
could still do this thing. Hassan Reddick, it is not
too late to join the Jets and make some money
along the way.
Speaker 1 (28:10):
I would just Hassan Reddick responded. He said, would he
get in your car, drive to the Wells Fargo, take
out a huge pile of money and pay me what
I want and what I deserve? Are you crazy? You
guys need me now more than you did a training camp.
You're bad now, you're two and three now, this is leverage, right,
I'm not gunning up to ninety five if anything, send
the jet for me. You need me, go to the
(28:33):
bank in your car and then I'll show up. That's
what he should say.
Speaker 7 (28:36):
But what he did sound like he was trying to
maybe send a little Batman signal and saying yo, I
got some money man for you. Just drive in over here.
We're not gonna put the business out there like that.
Come over here and let's get something. And he did
say escort like a you told about police escort, because
if you told about police escort, that means they want
to make sure that the goods get there to the
(28:56):
facility so they can pay them. I'm just saying, Hassan man,
love your game, man, love it. That'd be nice to
see you over there doing it.
Speaker 3 (29:03):
So you're saying, as Hassan Reggae exits on the turnpike,
that brings trucks just following him, and they both yet
escorted into it.
Speaker 7 (29:09):
Because escort is a weird terminology to use telling somebody
to drive.
Speaker 2 (29:13):
So you're saying, we will bring police.
Speaker 7 (29:16):
Escorts like on game day, We're going to escort you
the same way into the facility.
Speaker 2 (29:20):
All right.
Speaker 3 (29:20):
I know I'm a sentimentalist when it comes to the
protection of a really good locker room corps and not
saying the jets of some great locker room right now,
but the defense they have a going on right now.
If I'm Jeff Ulbrick Peter, he's kind of I think
a guy of old school nature and protect his locker
room and his defense. If you're Jeff Ulbrick, are you
falling over yourself to.
Speaker 4 (29:39):
Say, yeah, Woody, I double down. I want Hassan Reddick.
Speaker 3 (29:42):
Here, Or you say our defense is fine right now.
Their rush defense could be better, but our defense in
general is fine in terms of protecting the sanctity of
what the Jets have going on defensively, Or am I crazy?
Speaker 6 (29:55):
No, You're right, I mean the defense is great, Kyle,
I'm gonna take this way off the board.
Speaker 2 (29:59):
The Major League two. Sure, Jack Parkman was that the player. Yeah,
Jack Parkman. He was originally with the Indians, and then
he goes to the White Sox. Yeah, and they're like,
we don't we don't want this guy. We don't want it.
And maybe Parkman what they want, you know, maybe that's
what it was like. They don't need him, Like we're good,
we have this magic team. We don't need a Jack Parkman.
Originally it's klu heywood.
Speaker 1 (30:17):
Clear, that's Jack Parkman's in the sequel No, and they're like, fine,
we don't like him. He's this We're disillusioned.
Speaker 2 (30:22):
To the Jack Parkman.
Speaker 1 (30:23):
That's good, Peter, I listen, we're all watching the Jack
Parkman or otherwise I'm looking. I want to see Jeff Olbrich,
this new guy, because he seems to be part of
what I'm now calling like the CREA team coaches. He's
got the Dan Campbell X player thing, you know, Salah
for all his his musculature and his physique, and as
he was not an ex NFL player, this guy was
(30:44):
the linebacker. And we showed the picture earlier from on
the forty nine ers. It looks like some sort of
action figure that a kid would draw in the back
of his notebook. It's awesome. But also the Robert Solid firing,
and we talked about this when it happened. The fire
was missing that guy that we fell in love with
in San Francisco on the sideline, who actually physically needed
a staff member to restraining from going on the field.
(31:06):
I have not seen that guy screaming and hollering inflectioning
in a long time. He looks like a shell of himself.
He looks unhappy, he looks miserable. I mean, this is
the guy. Where is this dude? I haven't seen him
two years, maybe three years. I feel like that guy
is still the coach of the Jets. Who is that
person is like he's been abducted?
Speaker 2 (31:24):
Is he gone?
Speaker 1 (31:25):
I have not seen him in years, and the Jets
fans want to see him. I think the Jets players
wanted to see him, and I understand maybe he's trying
to be a little more presidential as head coach to
help with that. Get out there and be yourself rode
him the horse that got you there and now because
it's taking you out now, I feel like, again I
said it earlier, I think SAWA's personality is firable, meaning
like he's not a guy who's going to fight you
(31:45):
in your office if you say we're letting you go.
He's not a mic Vabel, He's not a Sean Payton.
From my perspective, that guy who the hired in San
Francisco was not that guy, and I feel like he
lost his way.
Speaker 2 (31:53):
Interesting.
Speaker 3 (31:54):
I saw a flash Ofmanim on Sunday in London, but
it was when the defense made this huge play, specifically
when Quincy Williams scooped up a bobbled ball and he
ran down the field with it, and like, that's Kinkie
Williams player, like he Sala wanted to draft him in
San Francisco and then the Jags got him, and the
Jags cut him, and then he brought him to the Jets.
Like Quincy Williams is a Robert solid guy and like
Sala was so fired up for him. We didn't show
(32:15):
it on the broadcast, but like I saw a flash
of a Kyle, But to your point, it's not who
he was in his wearing his head coaching hat.
Speaker 7 (32:22):
Yeah. I will say this though, guys will go get
nuts for him. They're going to run through one for
Jet the Beast.
Speaker 4 (32:29):
Jake May is starting.
Speaker 3 (32:30):
We're gonna talk about the Patriots and throw back uniforms
and Sam Donald, who's on a bi oh throwback uniform.
Speaker 4 (32:38):
Sorry, I'm like, why am I saying Donald?
Speaker 3 (32:39):
In that Trevor Lawrence is headed to London to take
on the Bears. We're going to talk about alternate uniforms,
throwback status and how they have us feeling a certain way.
Speaker 7 (33:02):
Good mon football, all right, time for what's your Beef?
Presented by Old Trapper Beef Jerky. Now, this is personal
to me. All these color wave uniforms in the NFL.
I am digging it.
Speaker 2 (33:15):
I love it.
Speaker 7 (33:16):
I see these teams out there, They're rocking their Oregon
Duck inspired color schemes, mixing it up, keeping it fresh,
and honestly, I'm a little jelly.
Speaker 2 (33:25):
I'm jealous.
Speaker 7 (33:27):
In Week one, we saw the New York Giants debut
their century red uniform, which was a commemoration of the
team's one hundredth season. Now, I know a lot of
people thought the look was ugly, but I personally.
Speaker 2 (33:40):
I liked it. I thought it was nice.
Speaker 7 (33:42):
It's kind of like the Tesla cyber truck. It's like
ugly good, you know what I mean? Like, what is
that the brown and the red and the blue?
Speaker 2 (33:49):
Eh? You know so? But I liked it.
Speaker 7 (33:52):
It was cool. It was something different. We hadn't seen
it in a while. Right now, how about the Texans?
They blew me away in Week five at NRG Stadium,
rocking that h town alternate unis. Come on me, there
is sporting a little What is that old English font?
Speaker 2 (34:07):
I gotta go and check this out. But I think
it's the.
Speaker 7 (34:09):
Old English font that they had on the helmet and
the color, the blues, the red, I mean all of it.
I hadn't seen it before. It was fresh to death.
And then my other favorite in week four, the Detroit
Lions on Monday Night football at Ford Field, sporting the
all black unis with the metallic Honolulu blue or whatever
that color that is.
Speaker 2 (34:30):
That was sick. You can't deny it.
Speaker 7 (34:32):
That helmet, as Peter would like me to say, them unis,
they slap I made it was black with the red
with the black Lions up in there like that was great.
So I know you're saying, OK, for a you're giving
all these love to this, to these unis. What's your beef.
I'll tell you what my beef is. My beef is
is that the team that I grew up loving. I'm
(34:52):
gonna keep it together here. I'm just trying not to cry.
The team that I grew up loving because of Super
Bowls in the eighties and the cool factor made possible
by the rap group NWA. Yeah, I'm talking about the Creators. Still,
I'm wearing the same old jerseys. Like, don't get me wrong,
the silver and black is the most iconic colors in
all of sports. It's legendary. But it's time for a refresh.
(35:15):
Mark Davis, I got your number. I'm gonna text you
because it's time we need to make changes. I am
demanding new Jersey color waves. Give me that all black
chrome silver delete on the jerseys right with the Matt
black helmet, with the silver Raiders emblem. I mean something
that makes a massive statement.
Speaker 2 (35:36):
Right now, the Raiders have three options.
Speaker 7 (35:38):
They have their home, they're away, and the so called alternative,
which is the whatever they call it, the white with
the silver.
Speaker 2 (35:45):
I'm not hating on it. It's cool, but let's keep
it real.
Speaker 7 (35:48):
They've only got one true alternate and we know that
what I just talked about. But for the Raiders to
join the party and bring some of that heat. We
got the colors that everybody wants. Let's get a color
wave that makes the silver and black fans proud. Okay,
I want that for my Raiders. So that's my beef.
Mark Davis, you'll hear from me, so please.
Speaker 2 (36:10):
I'm torn. I love the take, Okbar, I love the take.
Speaker 1 (36:13):
To me.
Speaker 6 (36:13):
There are like two or three franchises Stealers, Raiders, forty nine,
forty nine ers where.
Speaker 2 (36:21):
I don't need the crazy, funky.
Speaker 6 (36:23):
But after I saw the Giants go to those ones
on week one, maybe all things are out the window.
Maybe Okbar's right, Maybe the Raiders need like an all
black or all silver pants everything, like, maybe it's time
for the Raiders to bring somebody out.
Speaker 2 (36:33):
Okbar could be right.
Speaker 1 (36:34):
I think the Raiders have the best uniforms in the NFL.
If I remember asked that by a fan, Raiders have
best uniforms, untouchable. Don't touch it, Akbar, You're wrong. I stay,
stay with them. I don't need anything from them, Just
keep it classic.
Speaker 7 (36:44):
Did you hear everybody going crazy over the orange Crush.
I'm like that was the same Raider uniform. Nobody's giving
us the same love that they will give the Orange Crush.
It's the old school, different broncosm. I grew up watching that.
There was nothing impressive about that.
Speaker 2 (36:56):
I want the Broncos uniforms now, are horry.
Speaker 3 (36:57):
I believe you were able to compliment the Tesla truck
in the Western pocrasation.
Speaker 4 (37:02):
That was really impressive. He called it ugly good.
Speaker 3 (37:04):
I'm like, no one has ever been able to do
that in the history of the Tesla truck.
Speaker 4 (37:08):
The thing is ainus looking.
Speaker 1 (37:10):
Oh, the Bears are going to London. The Bears are
three and two, The Bears are playing the Jaguars are
coming off a win, and in anticipation of that, I
got to sit down with Caleb Williams, the Bears quarterback.
I know this is Jaden Central, and I know that
we talk a lot of Jaden here. There was another
rookie quarterback out on the field last week and next week,
and Bears fans expectations for him are of course meteoric.
(37:34):
So one of the questions I wanted to ask him
was what do you think when you hear yourself referred
to as not only the future of the franchise, but
the Savior, the Messiah? And he had some fun with
it and referenced a very, very very popular film franchise.
This is just a taste might sit down with Kayleb Williams.
I have some terms and some phrases that the Bears
(37:54):
fans have used to describe you and what you mean
to the future of the franchise, because this is my
favorite one. You're ready, Messiah, Messiah.
Speaker 12 (38:05):
I think when I when I hear that, I think
of Dune. You know, even that movie. I couldn't have
done it all by himself. So it goes to having
the team, and you know, the guys behind you and
believe in you, and believing in offense, believing each other,
and having that bond to be able to go out
there and win.
Speaker 2 (38:19):
So it's kind of funny, all right.
Speaker 1 (38:21):
So if you're someone who's like, yeah, I love the
Bears and Caleb, I don't know what the hell he's
talking about right there.
Speaker 2 (38:25):
That is that Timothy.
Speaker 1 (38:26):
Chalomey character about a basically a messiah figure who saves
an entire group of people and liberates them, and those
people in this case would be the Bears fans. Caleb
was unbelievably cool. There's a lot more coming on Game
Day kickoff this weekend. We talked all about the the
Jaden comparison. His goal is to be Brady one day.
He's a really really different dude and he doesn't apologize
(38:48):
for it.
Speaker 2 (38:48):
Which is what makes me love him. Oh, I love it.
We talked about this, Sarah.
Speaker 4 (38:52):
He went movie reference right away like that.
Speaker 1 (38:55):
I mean, you should have seen it, Jamie. I was
freaking out, like I love you, I love you. And
there's even more where that came from.
Speaker 7 (39:00):
He knows, he
Speaker 3 (39:02):
Knows, Oh Dune, Cale's like, yes, scale of myln his
son al Kayib
Good Morning Football is the production of the NFL in

Speaker 2 (00:22):
Good Morning Football.
Speaker 3 (00:24):
Hey, everybody, welcome to Good Morning Football. We are presented
by Old Trapper, Beef, Jerky off Bar, Buzz Bamilla and
I sit here live in Los Angeles. Peter Scheger and
Kulibrant are live in New York City.
Speaker 4 (00:36):
We got to get right to it.
Speaker 3 (00:37):
We have to get right to the lead block because
this game takes up so much time in our in
our emotional landscape preparing for this week.
Speaker 4 (00:46):
Okay, brave. It's head coach John Harbaugh.
Speaker 3 (00:49):
He's seen a lot of quarterbacks come through his division
in the DMV area. Now he has high praise for
the commander's first year QB.
Speaker 4 (00:58):
Take a listen.
Speaker 5 (01:00):
I just you know, I see a really good quarterback.
I mean, you know, it's every week you you look
at the quarterback. That's where the offense starts. Jaden Daniels
is you know. Heck, he's played what five games now,
and he's been one of the best in the league
for five games so far as a rookie. Every quarterback
plays their own unique way. Similarities, differences, you know, is
always that part of it. But we just have to
(01:20):
look at him and how he fits into their offense
and prepare for their offense as run by him. And
that's a big challenge and we got our hands full
of that. So that's how we look at it as
a defense.
Speaker 2 (01:32):
All right.
Speaker 3 (01:33):
These teams are both coming off of win streaks into
this game. They both sit atop their division. We never
saw this coming, Peter. We are obsessed with it. Come
week six showdown between Ravens Commanders one Eastern on CBS
on Sunday.
Speaker 4 (01:49):
Where do you go, Peter? Take us there.
Speaker 6 (01:51):
I love setting the table here on a Wednesday because
it's like, all right, we just got through week five.
Now we flipped the page and it's a new set
of games. And the first thing you see at one
o'clock in the afternoon, How rare do you get an
early window game of the week. And that's what this is.
And there's so much to really pick apart here.
Speaker 2 (02:09):
You've got our.
Speaker 6 (02:10):
Embedded MVP, our guy that we've been owing an eyeing
over since twenty nineteen in Lamar Jackson.
Speaker 2 (02:16):
And then you've got this fresh.
Speaker 6 (02:17):
New blood who is doing the same things that Lamar
did in his first year as a starter, which was
his second year as an NFL player, where he's taking
the league by storm and they're both playing in this
Beltway DMV and I know Baltimore people are like, we're
not DMV.
Speaker 2 (02:33):
I'll say that we're different.
Speaker 4 (02:35):
We're our own little world.
Speaker 1 (02:36):
That the thing.
Speaker 6 (02:36):
Yeah, it's down there in that Maryland, Virginia, DC area
and there's like this awesome geographic field of.
Speaker 2 (02:44):
This where it's like a Battle of the Beltway. And
it's early enough in the season where it's like, is
this a Super Bowl preview? Can you even say that
with a straight face? You can, because no two teams.
Speaker 6 (02:55):
Are playing better football over the last three weeks of
football than the Ravens and the Commanders. Just as an aside,
jaded and Lamar Jaden comes in obviously this red hot
start as a rookie, Lamar as the reigning MVP and like,
these guys make you believe anything as possible in the NFL.
(03:16):
You know, Lamar Jackson comes in as this decorated college player,
he's now won two MVPs and does it on his
terms with no agent and be able to negotiate his
own deal.
Speaker 1 (03:25):
He wouldn't run a forty Peter coming out wouldn't.
Speaker 6 (03:27):
Run a forty if they asked him the run running
back in wide receiver.
Speaker 2 (03:30):
No molse, he said, screw you, and guess what.
Speaker 6 (03:33):
He's right here and he's three and two and looks
as good as ever looked. Then you go to Jaden,
the new breed of a quarterback where he was at
one school, had to transfer, goes to a new school,
wins a Heidsman, the new cool plays fifty five games
in college, has injuries in college, and then he gets
into the league and he's doing it at such an
amazing rate. I cannot wait to see these two two
(03:54):
quarterbacks not only play, I want to see them interact beforehand.
I want to see all the dialogue that they have
if there's anyone micd up afterwards. I can't wait for
this one. And it's one of those rare where it's like,
you're the king right now and you own this market,
and you've owned this market since you got in the
league in twenty eighteen. But I'm coming And is it
just respect? Is it just hey, I respect you, or
(04:15):
is it I'm coming for that crown. I love this stuff.
They only play once every four years, so it's not
going to be a division rivalry twice a year and
all that savor it while you can Jaden vsus Lamar
Part one, I'm here for it.
Speaker 2 (04:27):
I can't wait.
Speaker 7 (04:27):
It's a big time game and those two are the headliners,
and so it's easy to get caught up in that.
But there's something else that's quietly happening too, because I'm
following more and more in love with with the Washington Commanders.
That defense has gotten so much better, and especially when
you think about them bringing b Wags over b Wags
has kind of changed the culture quietly amongst the players
(04:49):
and just the way they're playing their dogs out there
right now. You look at Frankie Louvu, you look at
Dorence Armstrong. Both those guys both have three sacks. They
leave the team with their sacks and they are applying
so much pressure and I love to see that. Defensively,
they're stepping up. I mean a weakness that I think
that was addressed by bringing in dogs who can play.
And then on the other side, you look at the
(05:10):
other side with the Baltimore Ravens, that's a defense that
is elite. That's gonna be a big time matchup. So
not only are gonna have offensive firepower going, but you're
also gonna have a match of the defensive mind stopping
two offensive powerhouses on both.
Speaker 2 (05:24):
Sides of the ball.
Speaker 7 (05:25):
But I'm actually loving the way this is gonna match up.
And then I also one to two go on the
other side too. I'm all over the place with this.
But Derrick Henry, Derrick Henry is not and I said
this before, he was the Shaquille O'Neill to Kobe Bryant,
which is Lamar Jackson, and it is worked out exactly
this way. So I'm loving this combination. He is not
(05:46):
just a downhill player. He's a guy that when he
gets out into the open, he'll take a little one cup.
People think because he two hundred and fifty pounds he's
built like me.
Speaker 2 (05:54):
We're like the same size.
Speaker 7 (05:55):
Like he's a d lineman running back, and you just
think he's just a bulldozer. Straight down, he'll take a
one step jag on you and try to break to
the outside. He's a diverse and very good running back.
I love Derrick Henry in this game matchup. So I'm
watching this whole thing. But my whole breakdown is really defense.
How they're gonna stop Derrick Henry and how the heck
are they gonna stop this young kid?
Speaker 4 (06:15):
And Jane Daniels eye candy?
Speaker 8 (06:17):
What bar?
Speaker 1 (06:17):
We got to credit you. I remember when you first
made the Derrick Henry shack comparison.
Speaker 2 (06:21):
It was early.
Speaker 1 (06:22):
Come on, ogbar, He's not gonna be shack on the Lakers.
He might be able to still have some good performances. Look,
he has been unbelievable, better than anybody thought, certainly better
than I thought. You were one of the few people
who's like, no, he's going to be lights out, and
he has been. I would just say I can't think
of a week six game that is this excited, this anticipated.
This is a big weekend. I think for some people
(06:43):
that I certainly roll with big apple picking weekends is a.
Speaker 2 (06:47):
Big app It's right, it's been.
Speaker 1 (06:48):
Nice, Kyle, Yeah, great, it's forty dollars rapples, Peter. We're
not going like a you know, kite surfing.
Speaker 2 (06:54):
I'm talking about a Sunday at the orchard. Give me one. Well.
Speaker 1 (06:57):
My point is, if you're gonna get dragged, and no
one is not dragged to apple picking, get it done early.
You can get there at eight, get it done. You
want to be here for the one o'clock Eastern kickoff.
We're seeing CBS on the screen there. I contribute to
the NFL today and CBS I am this weekend and
I suggested them, you know, maybe I'll give you something
about Commanders Ravens.
Speaker 2 (07:17):
I have some content on that. And they were like,
we're good on that. We're going big on that. We're
the whole shows. Heup is full there.
Speaker 1 (07:23):
Yeah, we are doing a lot. You know, JJ and
Matt Ryan and they they're all talking about Commander's Ravens
and that's just part of the excitement. I think the
part of the excitement for Jaydeon Daniels is if you
wanted to poke holes in him and bend over backwards
to do so. There is not the hashtag signature win.
The competition has not been great. Giants, Bengals, Cardinals, Browns,
that's who they've beaten. And fine, they've beaten them really well.
(07:46):
This is Stratospair's stuff. If you go into Baltimore and
beat the Ravens and beat Lamar, this is not you know,
going to Arizona and beating Kyler Murray and you know,
I like the Cardinals. This is totally different. This is,
Oh my god, he beat the two time MVP. He
won in Baltimore with the smoke and the nelly and
all the hell that stuff. I think it really if
you think we're talking a lot of Jadan Daniels, now,
(08:07):
this is a rocket to the moon Jaden Daniels. I
have already been like, this is the kind of game
where there's going to be extensive breakdowns of Jayden and
Lamar's embrace after the game. There's going to be lip
reading body language experts, there's going to be six hundred
cameras surrounding the two of them, and the reason they're
doing it. It feels like the superstar and the guy
(08:28):
who's got next. Now Mahomes is Mahomes and all that,
but like this is just too cool, too big, and frankly,
like I don't think the Commander's defense can stop the
Baltimore offense.
Speaker 2 (08:36):
I just haven't seen that, and I almost.
Speaker 1 (08:38):
Don't want them to because I want it to be
first to forty I would love forty one to thirty eight.
And if it's a Justin Tucker walk off kicker on
the other side, fine, but I'm so excited I can't
picking done early were you going you I.
Speaker 2 (08:49):
Get that, you might get that.
Speaker 6 (08:50):
You look at Cincinnati Baltimore last week. Joe Burrow threw
for three ninety two and five touchdowns, Like, there's no
reason that Jayden Daniels can't light this team up. But
I also will say this, and here I am white
man on television, scared we go.
Speaker 2 (09:02):
I just got done watching the Evolution of the Black Quarterback.
Speaker 6 (09:04):
Did documentary on Amazon, and they interviewed Charlie Ward and
Shaq Harris and all these guys who weren't quarterbacks in
the NFL, and a lot of those reasons being we
just can't see it well all the different people that
laid the groundwork. You've got Jaden Daniels, who people think
is too slight and wouldn't maybe necessarily have been a quarterback.
Speaker 2 (09:22):
In the NFL in the nineteen nineties.
Speaker 6 (09:24):
And then you've got Lamar Jackson, who has defied every
stereotype for quarterback play in the NFL based on build.
Speaker 2 (09:30):
Style, all that stuff.
Speaker 6 (09:32):
Two awesome young African American quarterbacks playing in that backyard
where it is the DMV, where there's geographical ties to
every local person in the building. During they're torn between
the two I can't wait for this, and I think
it shows how far we've come as a league and
that we're just talking about football and not look, here's
what we had Like this is awesome.
Speaker 2 (09:52):
Both these guys deserve this platform.
Speaker 6 (09:54):
And thank you to all the great quarterbacks and people
who led the way to make us have this moment today.
Speaker 3 (09:58):
Yeap, Peter, We're not that far removed from the first
Super Bowl that featured two starting black quarterbacks and Patrick
Mahomes Jalen Hurts, and now we have to appreciate and
understand the story. But the fact that Peter's point, this
is week six and this is just part of the
conversation and it's really cool and I know you appreciated
that so much, Peter. Two things I want to pick
your brain on as it pertains to this game. One
(10:19):
is Kyle has been harping on the fact that it
flex it to Sunday Night NBC take this game. There
is real TV possessiveness when it comes to windows and
networks and time slots and the number of times that
a network like CBS can say, don't touch our game.
This is our game. We're leaving it on CBS. Also,
just a little history on the Ravens and Washington as
(10:43):
a whole, the history, the anger, the battles that they've had,
and the fact that if I'm John Harbaugh, I might
be sitting here and seeing like a nice, resurgent Washington
football team. Commanders come in and be like, no, no, this
has been my area of expertise now in the last
ten years since I've been coaching.
Speaker 4 (10:58):
You're not going to come in and beat us.
Speaker 3 (10:59):
Like, there has to be a pride factor here for
Harbaugh in this matchup specifically.
Speaker 2 (11:04):
Yeah.
Speaker 6 (11:04):
Look, I think first with the network side of it,
which is so smart that you didn't bring that up.
The network puts together a list of all the games
that they would want in a desired order one to
ten before the season.
Speaker 2 (11:13):
They hand that before the schedules.
Speaker 6 (11:14):
Come out, and then an NFL network people in the
NFL they've sorted all out. That's Mike North and Annie
Bows and Charlotte Carey and that team.
Speaker 2 (11:21):
Fine.
Speaker 6 (11:21):
I don't think anyone thought Baltimore Washington this was just
going to be a generic CBS one o'clock game.
Speaker 2 (11:26):
I also don't know.
Speaker 6 (11:27):
If they protected it or not, but this was like
when you assigned Nance and Romo to a one o'clock
Washington Commander's game. A commander's team that has no primetime
games at the moment. It tells you where the Jaden
Daniels train is going. Secondly, the history is rich. It
used to be Redskins in DC, Colts in Baltimore. All right,
Colts leave for about ten years and then it's just
(11:48):
all Redskins. It was all Redskins fans in DC, and
then the Ravens come and it's kind of this like thing,
like we don't even pay attention. And now for the
last two decades it's been all Ravens with success, and
Washington hasn't been good. This is the first time in
my recent memory that both these teams are good at
the same time.
Speaker 2 (12:04):
And that's twenty years being in the same market as friends.
I have beat with Mike North, Peter.
Speaker 1 (12:08):
I know the history is great, but Mike, we love you.
You didn't love Jade Daniels coming out. He doesn't have
a primetime game until week eleven. I actually heard if
I'm not making all Jade and Daniels in his locker
has a picture of Mike North long hair, Yeah, like
Balboa has a picture of Drago's a schedule maker, Mike North,
who makes the schedule Jade Daniels.
Speaker 2 (12:29):
I've heard. I can't confirm.
Speaker 1 (12:30):
Oh, there's a picture in his locker and every day
when he gets ready, he looks at schedule maker and
schedules are Mike North to motivate himself because he doesn't
have any primetime games till week eleven. Caleb got prime
Dalis right, come on, mi.
Speaker 6 (12:43):
J Stroud texted Jayden Daniels after that, the Texans never
had had prime time. Stroud texted him that picture of
Mike North and goes.
Speaker 2 (12:50):
Here, here's who you focus on this year. This is
what I focused on last year.
Speaker 7 (12:53):
Wow, here's that question. I'm not quite sure how this works.
If I'm going to say, when the Commanders beat the Ravens,
when can they start flexing, because I would say that
they would get a primetime game before that week eleven.
Is there a way to flex after Week six?
Speaker 2 (13:10):
Yeah, I'm not sure.
Speaker 6 (13:11):
If we if it starts still, it used to start
in week like thirteen or fourteen, the flexing, I think
they moved it earlier.
Speaker 1 (13:16):
Op.
Speaker 6 (13:16):
Part's a good question. I do assume we will be
seeing plenty more in the last half of the season
of Jayda and Daniels and big games in the category.
Speaker 3 (13:23):
Of friends of the show, though the schedule makers at
the NFL are like top of our list.
Speaker 4 (13:27):
So we just want everyone to know Mike North is
like one.
Speaker 3 (13:29):
Of the sweetest people ever in like this is.
Speaker 6 (13:32):
All hates Jane Dan hate Jayden, hate some hate hate
command here the.
Speaker 1 (13:35):
Commanders hate Shane Daniels.
Speaker 2 (13:37):
Hate l Usu.
Speaker 1 (13:37):
You know what, Mike, don't deny the schedules right there?
Speaker 8 (13:40):
Oh, thank you?
Speaker 2 (13:43):
Week eleven.
Speaker 3 (13:44):
Week eleven, Ian Rappaport, Good morning to you again, my friends,
and it's week six.
Speaker 4 (13:49):
Were is upon us.
Speaker 3 (13:51):
We just did the NFL today treatment of one game.
It took up our entire eblock. What else we have
to look at a week.
Speaker 9 (13:56):
Six West, Yeah, there's some other games and some other
situations in the NFL.
Speaker 2 (14:00):
Will start with the New Orleans Saints.
Speaker 9 (14:02):
They're starting quarterback expect to miss a couple weeks at
least with an abdominal strain, essentially a tiny tear in.
Speaker 2 (14:09):
His abdominal muscle.
Speaker 9 (14:10):
This according to me and colleague Mike Garafolo, that means
Derek Carr not expected to play this week, not expected
to play next week. They have two games in ten days,
tough schedule for the New Orleans Saints. So you're going
to have another starting quarterback out there, and I'm sure
you know the assumption will be while it's just, you know,
the backup, it might not be the backup. It might
actually be Spencer Rattler, the rookie really impressed in training
(14:33):
camp and then going through some things, they certainly have
a decision to make.
Speaker 2 (14:37):
Dennis Allen and these Saints coaches.
Speaker 9 (14:38):
There's actually a real possibility that we see Spencer Ratler
out on the field this week for New Orleans. Meanwhile,
for the New England Patriots, we are going to see
a new quarterback as well. At moment that Patriots fans
have been absolutely waiting for forever. Drake May, the number
three overall pick, expected to make his first NFL start
(15:00):
this Sunday against the Texans and going forward, got a
little bit of action in this seasons, got hit a
couple of times, went back in. It was Jacoby Brissett
who remained as the starter.
Speaker 2 (15:09):
That has all.
Speaker 9 (15:10):
Changed now as the Patriots begin their practice week, it
is their highly touted rookie expected to be the quarterback.
And then I would say a mild surprise yesterday afternoon
for the Philadelphia Eagles. Devin White, who they signed this
offseason to some great fanfare, the former Pro Bowl for
the Tampa Bay Bucks. He really never quite fit in
(15:30):
with the Philadelphia Eagles. I know it's something Vic Fanjo
didn't really see a fit for. In his defense, he
has now been released. So Devin White, who they tried
to trade over the last couple weeks found no takers,
now a free agent halfway through the season.
Speaker 3 (15:43):
Guys got to address what's going on in Philadelphia. No
team didn't need to buy any less than the Eagles
did coming up because they just became anonymous essentially.
Speaker 4 (15:52):
Last week.
Speaker 3 (15:53):
I got to turn the page on the Eagles and
see what they have for the remainder of the season.
Speaker 4 (15:57):
Rap sheet, Thank you so much. There's a couple of rookies.
Speaker 3 (16:00):
Out there that deserve perhaps the primetime treatment. We get that,
but we have our own version of primetime treatment on
this program, and it's called Shrigger's Fabulous Five. It's what
rookie shined in Week five. Peter's gonna put a spotlight
on him. There's a list we tweeted out, you guys,
have beef with it.
Speaker 4 (16:16):
It's all a thing we got going on here.
Speaker 2 (16:29):
Good morning football.
Speaker 8 (16:31):
Hello.
Speaker 6 (16:32):
Those are five numbers and we do this every week.
It's the top five rookies of the week.
Speaker 2 (16:37):
It's Shrigger's Fab five.
Speaker 6 (16:39):
Let's get right into it, the top five rookie performances
of week five.
Speaker 2 (16:43):
And at number five, we start.
Speaker 6 (16:45):
Off with Giants rookie running back Tyrone Tracy. Tyrone Tracy
gets the nod if we find out that Devin Singletary
isn't gonna go on Saturday night. He's added to this
about everyone's fantasy team. And in the rare instance actually
they were exceeds expectators that it was like, I pick
this guy up one waiver.
Speaker 2 (17:02):
It's he was amazing.
Speaker 6 (17:03):
The Giants knew they had this guy a Ferrari in
the garage, if you will.
Speaker 2 (17:07):
He'd been sharing carries with Eric.
Speaker 6 (17:08):
Gray, and of course Devin Singletary just had a chance
to break out, had an outstanding training camp and now is.
Speaker 2 (17:15):
Stepping it up in real life. Here.
Speaker 6 (17:16):
Tyron Tracy played a little bit in those first few games,
and then against.
Speaker 2 (17:19):
Seattle gets the nod.
Speaker 6 (17:21):
One hundred and twenty nine rushing yards on eighteen carries
in a win in a win, most rushing yards by
a New York Giants player since Saquon did it in
Week ten of twenty twenty two.
Speaker 2 (17:36):
Now that's cool about this iron Giant.
Speaker 6 (17:38):
Tracy was a wide receiver at Purdue. They moved him
to running back. When he performed at the Combine this year,
his family was in the crowd.
Speaker 2 (17:46):
Cheering for it, and as a local product, they were.
Speaker 6 (17:48):
All there rooting for him, and in Seattle they were
rooting for a lot.
Speaker 2 (17:52):
Let's go to number four.
Speaker 6 (17:53):
We go to the defensive side of the ball, and
we go to a guy that Packers fans are falling
in love with, Evan Williams, number thirty three. This guy
has been an absolute terror this season. He's been awesome
the first four weeks. Week five, he gets the start
and he's all over the field.
Speaker 2 (18:09):
If you're on the.
Speaker 6 (18:10):
Packers' blogs or the Packer message boards, you would know
this guy has talked about more than Jordan Love Yeah,
and more than more than Josh Jacobs did more.
Speaker 2 (18:18):
Than all of them.
Speaker 6 (18:19):
Evan Williams lined up next to Xavier McKinney, has been
all over the field. He had ten tackles and two
passes defended. Look at this cool stat. We got first
career start in your last ten seasons, usually a safety.
Speaker 10 (18:29):
Right.
Speaker 2 (18:30):
Look at these two names.
Speaker 6 (18:31):
Brian Branch for the best in the game to the Lions,
and of course Buddha Baker, a perennial all pro. Evan
Williams did the same thing week five against the Rams.
Speaker 2 (18:40):
Number three.
Speaker 6 (18:42):
Can we go to those throwback uniforms?
Speaker 2 (18:44):
Can we see some Ferris Bueller? Can we get some
bone Nicks?
Speaker 6 (18:49):
Bo Nicks is number three on our list and Payton
afterwards say he's got a little fairst Bueller and them.
Speaker 2 (18:53):
We just still don't know what that means. I guess mischievous.
But bo Nicks had fun with it.
Speaker 6 (18:58):
Put on his Instagram, did a whole cut up with Ferris.
So I'm like, I'd love to show this on there,
but we can't. That TwixT commercial theme song you have the.
Speaker 1 (19:06):
Song oh yeah, yellow, yeah yeah.
Speaker 2 (19:08):
Boom boom boom boom.
Speaker 6 (19:09):
All right, and Boneecks in those old school uniforms played
the role.
Speaker 2 (19:16):
This wasn't like he did a week before against the
Jets where he got a win in rainy weather.
Speaker 6 (19:20):
No, Bonecks played awesome and had the stats to match
career high.
Speaker 2 (19:24):
One hundred and seventeen point two passer rating.
Speaker 6 (19:27):
He had career high as a completion percentage, passing, touchdowns,
and passer rating, and he broke the streak of eight
straight losses for the Raid for.
Speaker 2 (19:35):
The Broncos versus the Raiders.
Speaker 6 (19:36):
Important Nix is now just one win behind Drew Lock
and John Oway for most wins by a rookie starting
for the Broncos.
Speaker 2 (19:44):
Already ready, no, that is it? Bone Nix is on
his way, mister Ferris Buehler, which leads to our top two.
Speaker 6 (19:52):
In the last few weeks, these guys have been the
top two, and I'm sorry to.
Speaker 2 (19:57):
The Fits of Chicago.
Speaker 6 (19:58):
I still have Jaded Daniels as one, Caleb as number two.
Speaker 2 (20:03):
Caleb's been unbelievable.
Speaker 6 (20:04):
First Bears rookie to ever throw for three hundred passing yards,
two passing touchdowns and zero interceptions in a game.
Speaker 2 (20:12):
Caleb Williams was terrific.
Speaker 6 (20:15):
Against the Panthers on Sunday twenty to twenty nine, three
h four at his passing yards per attempt was ten
and a half yards.
Speaker 2 (20:23):
So this is not dinking dunk.
Speaker 6 (20:25):
We're getting a lot out of him here, and of
course you love that last one passer rating one hundred
and twenty six point.
Speaker 2 (20:30):
Two, and he does.
Speaker 6 (20:31):
He's doing it, and he's getting better and better every
single week. But Number one can't hype this guy enough
on this show. He's gonna pay the bills for us.
If we can get this guy to do any better.
I would love to see it. I love coming in
the morning and talking about Jaden Daniels.
Speaker 2 (20:46):
He was outstanding again, did.
Speaker 6 (20:48):
Everything you possibly could against a good Browns defense. Like
you're talking about Miles Garrett breathing down his neck and
some of these star defenders. The Browns have a huge
payroll and Jaden Daniels just went to work on him.
Jaden Daniels yet again a monster game. Washington is the
first team since the nineteen seventy merger to have scored
one hundred and fifty more points in their first five
(21:09):
games of a season with a rookie starting quarterback.
Speaker 2 (21:12):
That's how good he's been.
Speaker 6 (21:13):
First team since Kyle the merger in stub Merger. One
of my favorite praises, Daniels is the first player in
NFL history with one thousand passing yards to two hundred
and fifty rushing yards in his first five games, and
he's doing it in the first five games of the season.
It's not like we're inserting him in week eleven after
he's had ten weeks to get comfortable. This Commander's team.
They've got thirty one points per game, that's best in
(21:35):
the league. The completion percentage he leads the league. His
passer rating leads the league.
Speaker 2 (21:40):
And as far as rushing.
Speaker 6 (21:41):
Yards from the quarterback spot he leaves the league, he ranks.
Speaker 2 (21:45):
Since Secty's having all these things. And then if you
look here for all three of these rookie.
Speaker 6 (21:49):
Quarterbacks, and we got to give love to Nicks and
Caleb as well.
Speaker 2 (21:53):
They started off a little.
Speaker 6 (21:54):
Rough, but in the last two weeks eight and one,
their last three weeks eight.
Speaker 2 (21:58):
And one, and they have done it all stat wise.
You can look at all that gobbily cook if you want.
Speaker 6 (22:02):
The truth of the matter is these rookie quarterbacks are delivering.
And we get Drake May on the field yeah this week.
So there you have it, folks, Schrager's vabulous five. We go, Tyrone, Tracy.
Speaker 2 (22:13):
We Go, Evan Williams. If you're a drinker, you love
that name.
Speaker 6 (22:15):
And if you're a Packers fan, you love it even more,
and then of course you go three two one the
big name quarterbacks, Nicks, Caleb Daniels. If we forgot your
favorite player, I know Brock Bauers had a big day
and a loss A lot of times. I like giving
winning players love because it means they were celebrating the
locker room afterwards. No receivers on this list, but a
(22:37):
lot of quarterbacks and some safety and a versus running
back who used to be a receiver.
Speaker 2 (22:41):
Kyle, your thoughts on the Fab five.
Speaker 1 (22:43):
It's cool that you share the stories and the running
backs to positions fensive backs. I want one of these
weeks to just have all them quarterbacks lined up, just
Drake May back.
Speaker 7 (22:50):
Then.
Speaker 1 (22:50):
The only one I don't want to see is Michael
Pennox because I don't want Couzins.
Speaker 2 (22:53):
To get hurt. But I liked it there. It's really
cool that Nick's there.
Speaker 1 (22:56):
I thought it was gonna take a while before bow
Knicks was there, but it's great to see Drake May
Next week, I want you on Peter's lift in this segment,
do you hear me?
Speaker 3 (23:02):
I hope so, Kyle, can I interest you and some
Spencer Rattler maybe next week he could make the top
five and have.
Speaker 4 (23:08):
That whole list. Good cor Peter, I love that Tyron
Tracy is there.
Speaker 3 (23:11):
Yet I feel kind of badly for him because in
a week where the Giants kind of got things back
on track, they kind of figure things out, the Jets
are like, no, let me just like take all the
headlines from you.
Speaker 1 (23:21):
I feel badly he could be totally celebrating.
Speaker 4 (23:23):
Tyron Tracy right now.
Speaker 2 (23:24):
The Jets are like, this should be Tyron Tracy week.
You're right, you're right, and now it's fired Solo week.
Speaker 4 (23:29):
You're right, you see Tyron Tracy. That's why we have
strikes fab five.
Speaker 7 (23:32):
I appreciate too the death that you go too, because
Evan Williams for the Packers, the dude's a baller, So
I appreciate that. It's very easy to go with the
big name offensive players. So that that one I appreciate.
But then you and I, you and I are are
sympatico on jayde Daniels because both you and I said
that he was going to be Rookie of the Year.
Speaker 2 (23:50):
I'm still in prison bar and he continues to get it.
I didn't expect this, did you. I mean, he exceeds
my expectations. Do you see it going like this?
Speaker 7 (23:58):
Yeah, I'd be lying if I say, oh, yeah, this
is exactly.
Speaker 2 (24:00):
How I saw.
Speaker 7 (24:01):
I knew he's gonna be big, but I didn't think
he was gonna be like this. And then the fact
that you just see him getting better. Sometimes you get
like the spike and the surge, and then you just plateau.
He just keeps getting better, getting out of the pocket,
extending plays, not necessarily always wanting to rush. He's outstanding well.
Speaker 3 (24:16):
As we talked about last at the top of this
hour with him, is like he everyone always trying to
get on, like that was that guy's heisman moment, Like
maybe this is his this weekend's signature win that he
needs against the Ravens.
Speaker 11 (24:27):
Jerry, what we got We did just get some news
in the Jets, Robert Sala, their former head coach, making
a statement. But before we get to that, as you
may remember, he was replaced by defensive coordinator jeff Oldbrick,
who is now going to serve as the injured coach
for the rest of the season. Sawid going just twenty
and thirty six in three seasons in New York. The
defense not the problem. Is Gang Green rate second in
(24:50):
the NFL in yards allowed per game, but twenty seventh
overall in total offense. Here's Jets owner Woody Johnson on
why he made this decision to make a change.
Speaker 10 (25:01):
I wanted to give this team the most opportunity to
win this season. I feel that we had to go
in a different direction, and that's why I did that today.
This change, the change that we made today that I made,
I believe will bring new energy and positivity that will
lead to more wins starting now. You know, I've been
doing this for twenty five years now. This is probably
(25:23):
the best team I've had in twenty five years. I
just felt that the best way to go forward with
a new direction. It's not an easy decision. This required
a lot of soul searching and you know, looking back
at my experience in sports and particularly with the New
York Jets for twenty five years, and so I took it.
I took I took it very seriously. And that's why
(25:46):
I made the decision because I thought it. I thought
and think that it's going to make us more competitive
and it's going to help us reach the goals that
the team.
Speaker 8 (25:55):
And I want to accomplish, so I was the owner,
and as I mentioned, Robert's all releasing a statement just
this morning thinking Jets players, coaches, and fan saying, in quote,
every one of you were all in and made sacrifices
for one another that will never be forgotten.
Speaker 11 (26:11):
I wish you all the very best and the remainder
of the season. And Jamie, in very true Robert Sola fashion,
he ended his statement with all gas, no breaks.
Speaker 4 (26:21):
Oh we love that from Sala. We always have.
Speaker 3 (26:24):
This is a strange time and I actually really appreciated Sherry.
Speaker 4 (26:26):
Thank you.
Speaker 3 (26:27):
Jeff Ulbrick in his opening press conference yesterday just acknowledging
the work that Sala did and the fact that his
firing was still on the shoulders of the coaches that
were in that building. I thought that was really a
big of Ulbrick in the fact that he's taking.
Speaker 4 (26:41):
Over this position now.
Speaker 3 (26:42):
Since we have to continue to talk about this and
how the Jets move forward, this becomes the conversation and
the question at hand to here on GMFP, Peter, if
you have one person that you want to take your
eyes to and watch operates over the next few days
as this team tries to get things back on track
ahead of Monday Night Football in the season, who's that
one person for you?
Speaker 6 (27:02):
This is a bizarre season for the Jets, Jets fans,
and that's saying a lot considering what they've been through
in recent years. But I think there's no situation in
football that's more bizarre than this Hassan Reddick deal.
Speaker 2 (27:10):
Hassan Redick is still not with the Jets.
Speaker 6 (27:12):
He's missing out on eight hundred thousand dollars every time
he's in step foot on the field, and his contract
is it gonna end? And then it's gona be like, Okay,
he's a free agent and he's gonna lose millions and
millions of dollars when not playing.
Speaker 2 (27:21):
Here was Woody Johnson, the owner of the Jets, making
a pleato Redtic to just join the team yesterday on this.
Speaker 10 (27:27):
Call, Dom, get in your car, drive down ninety five
and come to the New York Jets and we can
we can meet you and give you an escort right
into the building and you'll fit right in and you're
gonna love it here, and you're going to feel welcome
and you're going to accomplish great things with us.
Speaker 2 (27:44):
Wow, this seems very welcoming. To me, and I don't
think it was solid.
Speaker 6 (27:49):
The reason why he wasn't there, Hassan Reddick, I know
you're out in South Jersey somewhere. I know it's about
two hours and if traffic is bad, maybe.
Speaker 2 (27:56):
Two and a half.
Speaker 6 (27:57):
We'll get you an easy pass the whole thing. Show
up on Monday, be a hero. Show up on Monday,
sack Josh Allen and look to the crowd like you
could still do this thing. Hassan Reddick, it is not
too late to join the Jets and make some money
along the way.
Speaker 1 (28:10):
I would just Hassan Reddick responded. He said, would he
get in your car, drive to the Wells Fargo, take
out a huge pile of money and pay me what
I want and what I deserve? Are you crazy? You
guys need me now more than you did a training camp.
You're bad now, you're two and three now, this is leverage, right,
I'm not gunning up to ninety five if anything, send
the jet for me. You need me, go to the
(28:33):
bank in your car and then I'll show up. That's
what he should say.
Speaker 7 (28:36):
But what he did sound like he was trying to
maybe send a little Batman signal and saying yo, I
got some money man for you. Just drive in over here.
We're not gonna put the business out there like that.
Come over here and let's get something. And he did
say escort like a you told about police escort, because
if you told about police escort, that means they want
to make sure that the goods get there to the
(28:56):
facility so they can pay them. I'm just saying, Hassan man,
love your game, man, love it. That'd be nice to
see you over there doing it.
Speaker 3 (29:03):
So you're saying, as Hassan Reggae exits on the turnpike,
that brings trucks just following him, and they both yet
escorted into it.
Speaker 7 (29:09):
Because escort is a weird terminology to use telling somebody
to drive.
Speaker 2 (29:13):
So you're saying, we will bring police.
Speaker 7 (29:16):
Escorts like on game day, We're going to escort you
the same way into the facility.
Speaker 2 (29:20):
All right.
Speaker 3 (29:20):
I know I'm a sentimentalist when it comes to the
protection of a really good locker room corps and not
saying the jets of some great locker room right now,
but the defense they have a going on right now.
If I'm Jeff Ulbrick Peter, he's kind of I think
a guy of old school nature and protect his locker
room and his defense. If you're Jeff Ulbrick, are you
falling over yourself to.
Speaker 4 (29:39):
Say, yeah, Woody, I double down. I want Hassan Reddick.
Speaker 3 (29:42):
Here, Or you say our defense is fine right now.
Their rush defense could be better, but our defense in
general is fine in terms of protecting the sanctity of
what the Jets have going on defensively, Or am I crazy?
Speaker 6 (29:55):
No, You're right, I mean the defense is great, Kyle,
I'm gonna take this way off the board.
Speaker 2 (29:59):
The Major League two. Sure, Jack Parkman was that the player. Yeah,
Jack Parkman. He was originally with the Indians, and then
he goes to the White Sox. Yeah, and they're like,
we don't we don't want this guy. We don't want it.
And maybe Parkman what they want, you know, maybe that's
what it was like. They don't need him, Like we're good,
we have this magic team. We don't need a Jack Parkman.
Originally it's klu heywood.
Speaker 1 (30:17):
Clear, that's Jack Parkman's in the sequel No, and they're like, fine,
we don't like him. He's this We're disillusioned.
Speaker 2 (30:22):
To the Jack Parkman.
Speaker 1 (30:23):
That's good, Peter, I listen, we're all watching the Jack
Parkman or otherwise I'm looking. I want to see Jeff Olbrich,
this new guy, because he seems to be part of
what I'm now calling like the CREA team coaches. He's
got the Dan Campbell X player thing, you know, Salah
for all his his musculature and his physique, and as
he was not an ex NFL player, this guy was
(30:44):
the linebacker. And we showed the picture earlier from on
the forty nine ers. It looks like some sort of
action figure that a kid would draw in the back
of his notebook. It's awesome. But also the Robert Solid firing,
and we talked about this when it happened. The fire
was missing that guy that we fell in love with
in San Francisco on the sideline, who actually physically needed
a staff member to restraining from going on the field.
(31:06):
I have not seen that guy screaming and hollering inflectioning
in a long time. He looks like a shell of himself.
He looks unhappy, he looks miserable. I mean, this is
the guy. Where is this dude? I haven't seen him
two years, maybe three years. I feel like that guy
is still the coach of the Jets. Who is that
person is like he's been abducted?
Speaker 2 (31:24):
Is he gone?
Speaker 1 (31:25):
I have not seen him in years, and the Jets
fans want to see him. I think the Jets players
wanted to see him, and I understand maybe he's trying
to be a little more presidential as head coach to
help with that. Get out there and be yourself rode
him the horse that got you there and now because
it's taking you out now, I feel like, again I
said it earlier, I think SAWA's personality is firable, meaning
like he's not a guy who's going to fight you
(31:45):
in your office if you say we're letting you go.
He's not a mic Vabel, He's not a Sean Payton.
From my perspective, that guy who the hired in San
Francisco was not that guy, and I feel like he
lost his way.
Speaker 2 (31:53):
Interesting.
Speaker 3 (31:54):
I saw a flash Ofmanim on Sunday in London, but
it was when the defense made this huge play, specifically
when Quincy Williams scooped up a bobbled ball and he
ran down the field with it, and like, that's Kinkie
Williams player, like he Sala wanted to draft him in
San Francisco and then the Jags got him, and the
Jags cut him, and then he brought him to the Jets.
Like Quincy Williams is a Robert solid guy and like
Sala was so fired up for him. We didn't show
(32:15):
it on the broadcast, but like I saw a flash
of a Kyle, But to your point, it's not who
he was in his wearing his head coaching hat.
Speaker 7 (32:22):
Yeah. I will say this though, guys will go get
nuts for him. They're going to run through one for
Jet the Beast.
Speaker 4 (32:29):
Jake May is starting.
Speaker 3 (32:30):
We're gonna talk about the Patriots and throw back uniforms
and Sam Donald, who's on a bi oh throwback uniform.
Speaker 4 (32:38):
Sorry, I'm like, why am I saying Donald?
Speaker 3 (32:39):
In that Trevor Lawrence is headed to London to take
on the Bears. We're going to talk about alternate uniforms,
throwback status and how they have us feeling a certain way.
Speaker 7 (33:02):
Good mon football, all right, time for what's your Beef?
Presented by Old Trapper Beef Jerky. Now, this is personal
to me. All these color wave uniforms in the NFL.
I am digging it.
Speaker 2 (33:15):
I love it.
Speaker 7 (33:16):
I see these teams out there, They're rocking their Oregon
Duck inspired color schemes, mixing it up, keeping it fresh,
and honestly, I'm a little jelly.
Speaker 2 (33:25):
I'm jealous.
Speaker 7 (33:27):
In Week one, we saw the New York Giants debut
their century red uniform, which was a commemoration of the
team's one hundredth season. Now, I know a lot of
people thought the look was ugly, but I personally.
Speaker 2 (33:40):
I liked it. I thought it was nice.
Speaker 7 (33:42):
It's kind of like the Tesla cyber truck. It's like
ugly good, you know what I mean? Like, what is
that the brown and the red and the blue?
Speaker 2 (33:49):
Eh? You know so? But I liked it.
Speaker 7 (33:52):
It was cool. It was something different. We hadn't seen
it in a while. Right now, how about the Texans?
They blew me away in Week five at NRG Stadium,
rocking that h town alternate unis. Come on me, there
is sporting a little What is that old English font?
Speaker 2 (34:07):
I gotta go and check this out. But I think
it's the.
Speaker 7 (34:09):
Old English font that they had on the helmet and
the color, the blues, the red, I mean all of it.
I hadn't seen it before. It was fresh to death.
And then my other favorite in week four, the Detroit
Lions on Monday Night football at Ford Field, sporting the
all black unis with the metallic Honolulu blue or whatever
that color that is.
Speaker 2 (34:30):
That was sick. You can't deny it.
Speaker 7 (34:32):
That helmet, as Peter would like me to say, them unis,
they slap I made it was black with the red
with the black Lions up in there like that was great.
So I know you're saying, OK, for a you're giving
all these love to this, to these unis. What's your beef.
I'll tell you what my beef is. My beef is
is that the team that I grew up loving. I'm
(34:52):
gonna keep it together here. I'm just trying not to cry.
The team that I grew up loving because of Super
Bowls in the eighties and the cool factor made possible
by the rap group NWA. Yeah, I'm talking about the Creators. Still,
I'm wearing the same old jerseys. Like, don't get me wrong,
the silver and black is the most iconic colors in
all of sports. It's legendary. But it's time for a refresh.
(35:15):
Mark Davis, I got your number. I'm gonna text you
because it's time we need to make changes. I am
demanding new Jersey color waves. Give me that all black
chrome silver delete on the jerseys right with the Matt
black helmet, with the silver Raiders emblem. I mean something
that makes a massive statement.
Speaker 2 (35:36):
Right now, the Raiders have three options.
Speaker 7 (35:38):
They have their home, they're away, and the so called alternative,
which is the whatever they call it, the white with
the silver.
Speaker 2 (35:45):
I'm not hating on it. It's cool, but let's keep
it real.
Speaker 7 (35:48):
They've only got one true alternate and we know that
what I just talked about. But for the Raiders to
join the party and bring some of that heat. We
got the colors that everybody wants. Let's get a color
wave that makes the silver and black fans proud. Okay,
I want that for my Raiders. So that's my beef.
Mark Davis, you'll hear from me, so please.
Speaker 2 (36:10):
I'm torn. I love the take, Okbar, I love the take.
Speaker 1 (36:13):
To me.
Speaker 6 (36:13):
There are like two or three franchises Stealers, Raiders, forty nine,
forty nine ers where.
Speaker 2 (36:21):
I don't need the crazy, funky.
Speaker 6 (36:23):
But after I saw the Giants go to those ones
on week one, maybe all things are out the window.
Maybe Okbar's right, Maybe the Raiders need like an all
black or all silver pants everything, like, maybe it's time
for the Raiders to bring somebody out.
Speaker 2 (36:33):
Okbar could be right.
Speaker 1 (36:34):
I think the Raiders have the best uniforms in the NFL.
If I remember asked that by a fan, Raiders have
best uniforms, untouchable. Don't touch it, Akbar, You're wrong. I stay,
stay with them. I don't need anything from them, Just
keep it classic.
Speaker 7 (36:44):
Did you hear everybody going crazy over the orange Crush.
I'm like that was the same Raider uniform. Nobody's giving
us the same love that they will give the Orange Crush.
It's the old school, different broncosm. I grew up watching that.
There was nothing impressive about that.
Speaker 2 (36:56):
I want the Broncos uniforms now, are horry.
Speaker 3 (36:57):
I believe you were able to compliment the Tesla truck
in the Western pocrasation.
Speaker 4 (37:02):
That was really impressive. He called it ugly good.
Speaker 3 (37:04):
I'm like, no one has ever been able to do
that in the history of the Tesla truck.
Speaker 4 (37:08):
The thing is ainus looking.
Speaker 1 (37:10):
Oh, the Bears are going to London. The Bears are
three and two, The Bears are playing the Jaguars are
coming off a win, and in anticipation of that, I
got to sit down with Caleb Williams, the Bears quarterback.
I know this is Jaden Central, and I know that
we talk a lot of Jaden here. There was another
rookie quarterback out on the field last week and next week,
and Bears fans expectations for him are of course meteoric.
(37:34):
So one of the questions I wanted to ask him
was what do you think when you hear yourself referred
to as not only the future of the franchise, but
the Savior, the Messiah? And he had some fun with
it and referenced a very, very very popular film franchise.
This is just a taste might sit down with Kayleb Williams.
I have some terms and some phrases that the Bears
(37:54):
fans have used to describe you and what you mean
to the future of the franchise, because this is my
favorite one. You're ready, Messiah, Messiah.
Speaker 12 (38:05):
I think when I when I hear that, I think
of Dune. You know, even that movie. I couldn't have
done it all by himself. So it goes to having
the team, and you know, the guys behind you and
believe in you, and believing in offense, believing each other,
and having that bond to be able to go out
there and win.
Speaker 2 (38:19):
So it's kind of funny, all right.
Speaker 1 (38:21):
So if you're someone who's like, yeah, I love the
Bears and Caleb, I don't know what the hell he's
talking about right there.
Speaker 2 (38:25):
That is that Timothy.
Speaker 1 (38:26):
Chalomey character about a basically a messiah figure who saves
an entire group of people and liberates them, and those
people in this case would be the Bears fans. Caleb
was unbelievably cool. There's a lot more coming on Game
Day kickoff this weekend. We talked all about the the
Jaden comparison. His goal is to be Brady one day.
He's a really really different dude and he doesn't apologize
(38:48):
for it.
Speaker 2 (38:48):
Which is what makes me love him. Oh, I love it.
We talked about this, Sarah.
Speaker 4 (38:52):
He went movie reference right away like that.
Speaker 1 (38:55):
I mean, you should have seen it, Jamie. I was
freaking out, like I love you, I love you. And
there's even more where that came from.
Speaker 7 (39:00):
He knows, he
Speaker 3 (39:02):
Knows, Oh Dune, Cale's like, yes, scale of myln his
son al Kayib
