Good Morning Football is the production of the NFL in
partnership with iHeartRadio.
Speaker 2 (00:10):
Welcome to TED Good Morning Football, Everybody.
Speaker 3 (00:12):
We're live in LA and New York City today, Wednesday,
July sixteen.
Speaker 2 (00:15):
Jimmie Ardo mante.
Speaker 3 (00:16):
Teo Kyle Brandt, Kyle, I have something very exciting to
tell you. We have an addition to the jersey closet
here in Los Angeles.
Speaker 2 (00:24):
It has arrived.
Speaker 3 (00:25):
And when I tell you it's vintage, you are going
to be so proud and you want to get your
hands on this sucker.
Speaker 2 (00:30):
We're going to reveal it this hour.
Speaker 1 (00:33):
If anybody doesn't know, there's a magical closet there in
Los Angeles that's like the Walk of Chocolate Factor. You
walk in there and it's every jersey you could ever
want or need in any size, in any era. And
when Jamie t'say is something like that, you better tune
in and see what it's going to be.
Speaker 4 (00:47):
So do not leave.
Speaker 1 (00:47):
Let's start the show because I want to know what it's.
Speaker 4 (00:49):
Going to be. Football.
Speaker 3 (01:06):
That's right, GMFB, Happy Wednesday, everybody.
Speaker 2 (01:09):
Kyle Mantai, Jamie, we're here. We just told you that we.
Speaker 3 (01:11):
Have a jersey vintage of the ventionance nature, but one
of the teams the NFL is going to wear a
jersey from their original season. It's amazing, it's beautiful. We
have our hands on it, but it is what they're
going to wear this season. So before we get to that,
that is in the next segment. Sometimes we have so
much content and talking points that we have to get
in on the show. We do a segment called quote
(01:33):
un Quotes un quotes, and it's Kyle's favorite part of
the show, where were just talk talk talk doc talk
dot dot com and we listen to what the players
have to say and we respond. Let's learn Washington commander's
wide receiver Terry McLaurin is looking for a contract extension
and he's not happy with the progress of those talks.
Speaker 2 (01:48):
Take a listen to McLaurin.
Speaker 4 (01:50):
I've been pretty frustrated.
Speaker 5 (01:51):
I'm not gonna lie. Everything that has transpired up to
this point is has been disappointing and frustrating. You know,
I wanted to continue my career here. I've created my
life here. You know, my wife and I bought our
first home year, so this has been somewhere where I've
always wanted to be. I haven't decided that yet, I'm
trying to take things day by day, and you know,
(02:14):
I think that's the disappointing part where I was hoping
up until this point things would clear up a lot
more than they have.
Speaker 6 (02:21):
And so I haven't made.
Speaker 5 (02:23):
That decision yet and I'm just want to see how
the rest of this week goes and take it day
by day.
Speaker 3 (02:29):
In that same interview, Terry McLaurin would go on to
say that quote without any progressive discussions, it's hard to
see how to step on the field and quote, Frankly,
the demeanor that you see on Terry McLaurin during that
media availability is so different from the guy that we
see on the field all the time, the smiling, the
scary Terry, the celebratory wide receiver Manti. How do you
see the situation playing out with McLaurin and the commanders.
Speaker 4 (02:52):
Well, you said earlier in your segment, Jamie, that we
listened to pleasures on what they say. I like to
listen to my co host, says Willie Coloneyesterday talked about
Garrett Wilson and everything that he's been through when he
signed with the Jets and the lack of putduction from
that team. Well, when as he was talking about Garrett Wilson,
I immediately thought about skarit Arry because what that guy
has had to go through in the six years that
(03:12):
he's been with the Washington Commanders. Guys, he's only been
to the playoffs once and that was last year. And
that is a player, Guys that has had five one
thousand yard seasons in his six year career. The only
time he didn't have a thousand yards receiving was his
rookie year and I think he missed it by eighty yards.
So this is a guy Washington that has been with
(03:33):
you through the dark times. He's a guy that has
been with you through the rough time. Matter of fact,
he's a guy that's been with you. When you change
your name like two or three times, that's how long
he's been with you. And he's been riding with you
ever since. It's like the movie Loved, Don't Cost a Thing, KP.
Have you have you ever seen the movie Loved, Don't
Cost the Thing with Nick Cannon.
Speaker 1 (03:51):
There's a guy and of course it's a remake of
Can't Bind Me Love from the eighties.
Speaker 4 (03:55):
See that you're just revealing your age on this show,
k because I didn't know that show. I only know
Loved Them costs a thing, and you know, knowing that storyline,
it's about a nerdy guy who wants to be famous,
he wants to be popular, and he kind of buys
his way into this popular circle. Well, he leaves his
nerdy friends. Only later on in the movie to find
out that these popular guys they start to find out
that he's not who he says he is, and so
(04:16):
he kind of goes and he begs to be with
his friends that were with him from the beginning through
the dark times. That's like Scared Terry, guys, okay to
stop playing with him. Washington. There's a reason why we're
talking about the Washington Commanders this year going into twenty
twenty five, and a lot of it had to do
with Jayden Daniels, but a lot of it had to
do with Scared Terry in his performance. So let's not
forget that a lot of this success that you guys
(04:38):
had was because there was a guy that has been
around there for six years and he's had to deal
with all of the junk that came with being a
part of that team for all of these years. And
now your guys are great. Don't forget about the guy
that was there with you during the dark times, and
that's scared Terry. I hear that. I hear it's good points.
Speaker 1 (04:53):
There's a lot of things I'm agreeing with you guys
are saying. First of all, jamiees, the Terry McLaurin body
language is terrible, only because the Terry mclaarin body language
is usually so good. He's usually so charismatic, an upbeat.
He looks beating down, does not look good. He does
not look happy, but maybe he looks dug in. I
would also say, I'm gonna be so mad if, like
twenty minutes from now or twenty days from now, I
(05:13):
see some Ian Rappaport tweet that Arry mcluin has been
traded to the Jaguars. I'm gonna be pissed up that happens.
I don't want that to happen. That's not that'd be
like a football crime. I want him to be there.
It's also complicated, like the record has scratched for the
commanders who have been in this montage mode of this
beautiful run, and the new owner is so well liked,
and the new GM is doing so great, and they
(05:34):
drafted the right quarterback.
Speaker 4 (05:35):
Well, I don't know. Terry mclaurin's been around for a
long time.
Speaker 1 (05:38):
He preempts the owner, he preempts the GM. He goes
back from the dark era. So if you're a Commander's fan,
are you team McLaurin, like Manty saying, are you like
you know what I roll with Josh Harris and Adam
Peters like, I'm gonna trust their business acumen and their decisions.
Speaker 4 (05:57):
I don't know.
Speaker 1 (05:58):
Here's what I do know, and I'll try to end
with a thread of optimism. These things usually get taken
care of. Yeah, I really do think they usually work out.
Whether we thought Deebo would never play with the Niners again,
they signed him.
Speaker 4 (06:11):
And it's not just the Niners thing.
Speaker 1 (06:12):
Typically you don't see star player just completely discarded. I
think they'll get it done. But geez, I mean, thirty
years old, thirty million, he's a really good player. I
think probably that the fans are maybe a little bit
more with ownership in the GM, since they've been so
great in the last few years.
Speaker 2 (06:29):
See Kyle.
Speaker 3 (06:30):
It's actually interesting that Manti makes this movie reference, and
the thread of the movie that Manti knows is a
two thousand and three film has no concept that that
is a remake of Love don't cost a thing for
it to become can't by me love to it to become?
Love don't cost a thing. If I was management and
ownership and I am working with let's just say the
next gen of Commanders fans, I would want to get
(06:51):
this thing done with this guy because he is representative
despite being there during all this transition of this Washington
football team to the Commanders.
Speaker 2 (06:59):
That is Terry McLaurin in its essence.
Speaker 3 (07:01):
So if you have some young up and coming fan
I went to call in DC at the time the NFL,
they were fighting for fandom for this team, specifically because
the Ravens were poaching them. You've got people living in
town that are from elsewhere. But the Commanders have a
vibe now, and I feel like if you don't invest
in somebody who is representative of this winning culture that
finally exists, then what are we doing? And you risk
(07:21):
kind of losing the interest perhaps of these young fans.
So I would sign more with Terry mcclaurin in this circumstance,
but hopefully fingers crossed.
Speaker 2 (07:28):
As Kyle said, it all works out.
Speaker 3 (07:30):
Okay, Moving on quotes on quotes on quotes, we're still
talking about Randy Moss and the Hall of Fame Wide
receivers take on wide receivers currently currently playing, talking about
all time lists, though this time it's the Tyreek Hill category.
Randy Moss says, quote, He's nowhere all time. Where is
he at in today's game? Tyreek Hill is probably top five,
(07:51):
probably top five?
Speaker 2 (07:52):
Sure, I put him in the top five.
Speaker 3 (07:54):
Oof our reaction to Randy Moss and his ranking of
Tyreek Hill.
Speaker 4 (08:00):
Yeah, I agree that he is a top five currently
currently right. The follow up question was, he's nowhere all time.
And it's so hard to have these kinds of conversations
because we're in a time, in an era where guys
have seen Tyreek Hill do amazing things on the football field.
We've seen a level of speed that we haven't seen
(08:21):
in a long time. Matter of fact, I firmly believe Kyle,
that's a there's a saying that says speed kills in
the NFL. The problem is this, that's that's false, Like
the speed doesn't kill in the NFL. Separation kills and
Tyreek Hill because of his speed, he has speed that
it's just not even human. And because he has that,
(08:41):
he creates separation. He's been doing it for Kansas City
Chiefs when he first got into the league, and he's
been doing it for the Dolphins now. When you think
about the crowd he's with the group that he's with,
he's forty second all time in receptions and receiving yards
forty second. So to give some validity to what Randy
Moss says about all time, he's kind of right. And
(09:02):
if you think about and Bowden and Reggie Wayne, he's
tied with them with thirtieth in career touchdowns and that's
not saying again. I think what we have to do
is kind of change the tone of this question. I
think when people may think when they hear, oh, he's
not anywhere near the all time list, they may be like, oh,
he's a hater. He's a hater. I don't think he's
being a hater. I don't know why nowadays, when you
(09:23):
speak the truth, it's offensive, like he's just giving you
a fact that, hey, he's forty second in reception and
receiving yards and he's thirtieth for touchdowns. And I think
with those facts alone, it gives some validity to what
Brandy Moss said, But again, I do want to give
Tyrek his flowers by what he's been able to do
in his career. Right now, his career isn't done, so KB,
(09:45):
I guess we'll have to see how it plays out
in the end and where he ranks in the end,
and maybe we can revisit this conversation.
Speaker 1 (09:51):
Yeah, and Randy Moss can say whatever the hell he
wants about.
Speaker 4 (09:54):
All time great wide receivers.
Speaker 1 (09:56):
The point is that Tyreek is still in his career.
He's still a young man. All time great means you know,
you're a first ballot Hall of Famer. You're in the
conversation in a handful of the greatest ever.
Speaker 4 (10:10):
It's TBD with Tyreek.
Speaker 1 (10:11):
And that's what I think is interesting about Tyreek right now.
Fascinating portion of his career as we move forward, he
has played nine seasons. All time greats and first ballot
Hall of Famers are made in the back half of
their careers. It's the Michael Jordan learning the turnaround jump
shot portion of their careers. So I will compare him now,
(10:33):
he just finished his ninth season. He'd be starting his
ten this year. Tenthist here Tyreek. Randy Moss from season
ten to the rest of his career had fifty six
more touchdowns. Tarol Owens had fifty eight more touchdowns. Jerry
Rice had eighty two more touchdowns just starting on season ten,
(10:54):
and a couple of those guys, especially Moss and TiO,
did it with.
Speaker 4 (10:56):
A whole bunch of different quarterbacks. They did not just
lock in and ride with one legend.
Speaker 1 (11:02):
So what I'm saying for Tyreek is, it's all of you.
You could be an all time great. I don't think
he is now. He's not an all time great. He's
a great player. But Tyreek has it in front of him.
If he can find a way in the back half
of his career to do with these guys like Moss
and Owens and Rice did, which is continue to develop
and evolve, he could be an all time great. If
(11:22):
he slows down a little bit and he doesn't have
those other gears, and he's a pretty small guy, then
he'll just be this awesome, awesome player from the twenty
tens and twenty twenties who went.
Speaker 4 (11:30):
With Mahomes and on and on. All time great is
in front of him. We'll see what he does with it. KB,
I got a question for you because you just pointed
out something that I kind of mentioned in my little
segment about speed doesn't kill. Because you mentioned that all
of this, all of these accomplishments happen in the latter
end of these really good receivers. What is it about
those ladder ends? Because obviously it's not speed, right, it's
(11:53):
they're not getting faster as they go. But what about it?
I have my own take on it, But what about it?
Do you think in the end allows him to have
even better production later in their career?
Speaker 1 (12:03):
Well, I mean, listen, Rice is the all time legend,
ridiculous work ethic and then Jerry Rice was in his forties,
He's catching touchdowns on the Raiders and the Seahawks. He
just like it was separation, it was knowledge, it was wisdom.
And Tyreek is like has this luxury where he's just like,
I got a bazukah, I'm fast on everybody on the field.
Speaker 4 (12:21):
I'll just blow past them.
Speaker 1 (12:22):
But I think he doesn't get enough credit as the
nuances he knows as a wide receiver. So the short
answer is, you work your ass off and you learn
new ways to play the game. Like the Jordan turnaround.
We'll see if Tyreek does that.
Speaker 2 (12:32):
We have our own Bazuka on the show.
Speaker 3 (12:34):
Jason Gobindo was with us earlier and he's back. We
lost him for a second. But Jason Gobinda, you got
thoughts on Tyreek Hill and whether or not he qualifies
for this all time list and conversation.
Speaker 7 (12:43):
Yeah, I mean, I think it's definitely early to talk
about all time.
Speaker 6 (12:48):
You can definitely say all decade.
Speaker 7 (12:49):
I think we can all agree that Tyreek is going
to be an all decade guy, There's no question about that.
But I think the interesting part about this conversation what
makes Tyreek Hill super unique?
Speaker 6 (12:59):
I think it's his size.
Speaker 7 (13:01):
I don't think we've ever seen a receiver at his
size be able to be able to operate anywhere on
the feld. Normally, the Wes Welkers, the Julian Adaminz only
operate inside er in the slot.
Speaker 6 (13:12):
Tyreek is a guy at its size who used.
Speaker 7 (13:14):
To play running back, who the true number one, who
can play truly number one outside wide receiver and run
absolutely any route inside the tree. Now, I think that's
what is going to be the differentiator in the conversation
is how.
Speaker 6 (13:27):
Much does his size and.
Speaker 7 (13:29):
His specs contribute to his greatness and his ability to
do things that guys we only saw at six three
sixty four sixty five be able to do. And I
think that's what makes Tyreek so special and such a different,
unique type of player.
Speaker 3 (13:42):
Combinda, that's where your brain and my brain differs so much,
because I had the same exact thought about tyreek Hill size,
but I looked at it almost as a hinderance moving
forward for him, because Kyle just blew my mind with
some of those numbers for touchdown catches for some of
those great wide receivers moving on from year ten. And
in my mind, the reason why too, or Randy Moss
(14:02):
or Jerry Rice we're able to stab some of those
TV catches later in their career was they became these
big body red zone threats. Maybe they weren't that explosive
off the line where they're catching seven of ten balls
as they move the ball down the field, But if
you can rack up those numbers, maybe it is because
you can elevate and legitimately mossa guy is Tyreek capable
of that in his career because of his size. So Cominda,
(14:25):
I kind of spun it a different way, which is,
if the speed ever falters for Tyreek Hill, how else
is he going to separate himself both physically on the
field from a defender, but also with this conversation of
some of the great guys.
Speaker 2 (14:37):
What do you think about that, Coavinda?
Speaker 8 (14:39):
Well, I think that's another thing that makes Tyreek so
unique is the explosion is absolutely often charged. Like he
can jump as high or if not higher than at
Terrell Owens at his size, Like we've never seen guys
acting his side be able to.
Speaker 6 (14:53):
Get fifty to fifty balls at the rate that he
is that he's able to do with that.
Speaker 7 (14:57):
This guy jumps over DB's at whatever hiding What is
Tyreek five eleven whatever five to ten short for the
number one wide receiver, So to be able to jump
over DB's and do those things at that size, Yes,
I believe it's a hindred but I don't think we
can really talk about it right now because he's not
showing any signs of slowing down when it comes to
that speed, when.
Speaker 6 (15:17):
It comes to that athleticism.
Speaker 7 (15:19):
So I think that's a conversation that we can have
when we finally do see the Cheetah lose the step.
Speaker 3 (15:24):
All right, moving on with quotes unquotes unquotes elsewhere in Florida.
On a recent podcast, Jaguars quarterback Trevor Lawrence said he
wants the Jags to be taken seriously. Of course, where
I'm at in my career, year five, this.
Speaker 2 (15:36):
Is Trevor Lawrence.
Speaker 3 (15:37):
It's time to go and start winning consistently and be
not just that team where it's like no one really
takes you seriously. You want to be that team that's
always competing for the playoffs, super Bowls and you're in
the hunt. Okay, So Trevor Lawrence looking for some stability
when it comes to postseason experience. Man, Si, do you
think that this is the year that the Jags can
(15:58):
take that step and become a legitimately seriously taken contender,
specifically within their vision in the conference?
Speaker 4 (16:05):
Well, Jamie, it's going to take more than Trevor Lawrence.
And and that's the facts about this. I remember when
Sean Paynon, when I played for the Saints for three year,
Sean Payne would always say this, there are thirty two
teams in the NFL. Only twenty teams have an actual chance.
The other twelve have no Chance and the facts about
the Jacksonville Jaguars and Jason, you know this, they have
been a stat team. What I mean by that is
(16:26):
when you see them on your schedule, you're like, oh,
this is going to be a stat game. Now. I
want to defer to mister Jason Cabinda since we have
him on the show today, because Jason Combindo was with
the Detroit Lions in twenty nineteen. He joined in twenty nineteen. Now,
back in twenty nineteen, the Lions were considered one of
those stat game teams. But then Dan Campbell comes in
twenty twenty one, and now they're one of the best
(16:46):
teams in the NFL. Jason, what did you see that
changed during your time in Detroit that maybe the Jacksonville
Jaguars could kind of implement with Trevor Lawrence and company.
Speaker 7 (16:57):
Well, one thing I want.
Speaker 6 (16:59):
To say, let me start with this.
Speaker 7 (17:00):
You know, when I first started with Detroit, Matt Stafford
was there, and I don't they Matt would ever go
out in the media and have a quote like this.
Speaker 6 (17:08):
You would never have a woe is me type of attitude.
Speaker 7 (17:11):
He was the type of guy that no matter what,
no matter what it looked like whether the defense was bad,
whether the offense wasn't playing well, he kept his head out.
Speaker 6 (17:18):
And he just worked and worked and worked.
Speaker 7 (17:20):
So I'll say that, first of all, I don't think
this is a type of quote that you want.
Speaker 6 (17:23):
To put out there in the media.
Speaker 7 (17:25):
And then number two, I just think, you know, it
comes down to culture.
Speaker 6 (17:29):
It comes down to believe and at.
Speaker 7 (17:31):
The end of the day, as a quarterback, as the
head and lead of the offense and organization, being a number.
Speaker 6 (17:36):
One overall, pick a lot of that is on your shoulders.
And this is not the type of attitude you want
to instill in your team or the type of thoughts
they even want them thinking.
Speaker 7 (17:46):
You know, in Detroit, when we were able to turn
things around, it started with the culture. It started with
getting one of the loser mentality. It started with carry more.
It started with bringing guys along in terms of the
work ethic, in terms of staying after longer, after practice,
getting more synergy. All of these things, and those are
the things that happened in the dark. And I think
with Trevor Lawrence, this is gonna be a year of
(18:09):
no excuses, especially offensively. No last year he got hurt
he's limited to ten games. He had the ac joint
and a concussion, but he wasn't having a great year.
Two and eight in the Star, It's eleven touchdowns, seven picks,
two thousand yards.
Speaker 6 (18:21):
You got Brian Thomas. You now have Travias Hunter in
the hive and winner.
Speaker 7 (18:25):
I think this is going to be a year of
no excuses for Trevor Lawrence, and instead of talking about it,
he's gonna have to go over there and be about it.
Speaker 1 (18:31):
I actually really liked this quote from Lawrence just as
a fan, like I've been waiting for this quote from Lawrence.
I've been waiting for him to say I'm tired of
this crap.
Speaker 4 (18:39):
I think you need to hear that.
Speaker 1 (18:40):
This is a guy who was looked at as the
guy who's going to change the sports, the greatest prospects
since this and this, and it's just it's just been
middling at best. And they've done everything they can possibly do.
Speaker 9 (18:52):
Now.
Speaker 4 (18:52):
Two years ago, they drafted tackle. Last year, they draft
a wide receiver.
Speaker 1 (18:55):
This year they trade everything to draft the perfect weapon.
Speaker 4 (18:58):
They have the offensive coach. Now, it's like Trevor, if.
Speaker 1 (19:02):
Not now, when when are we going to see even
like a fraction of our expectations from you because he's
down there. You know, he can sit down there in
media market thirty two where most of the country doesn't care,
most of Flora that doesn't care, and they can go
seven and ten this year and no one would bat
And I to finally hear something from him as a
(19:22):
sentient leader who's not plugged into the wall and said,
I'm sick of this craft so much.
Speaker 4 (19:27):
I'm paraphrasing.
Speaker 1 (19:28):
I'd like to hear him say that, I'd like to
see him play like that.
Speaker 4 (19:31):
I'd like to see.
Speaker 1 (19:32):
Anything of substance from this era in which everything now
has been surrounded with him and they're just sitting by
watching the Texans every year become the new cool thing,
and c J. Stroud be coming with Trevor Lawrence was
supposed to be. He's very young, he's a lot of
football in front of him. But I like, let's let's go.
And I'm tired of this. I've been waiting to hear
this from Lawrence, and I hope we'll hear more.
Speaker 3 (19:51):
Absolutely all right, they are quote on quote un quotes.
We have the rest of a show that we have
to fill up, so we have to take it to
break because we have two guests coming up this hour,
and as I mentioned, the jersey reveal. But first we
are talking to Colts owner and chief's Brand Officer Kaylan
Jackson about her transition to becoming the Colts owner and
her work expanding treatment research and raising awareness about mental
(20:14):
health disorders and an award that she just won. We're
so excited to have that conversation, Kyle. Plus what else
we got.
Speaker 1 (20:22):
I don't know if anybody gets more excited on the
internet about anything then Bucks throwback uniforms. And there's some
weirdos out there on the internet, but when you show
them this, they lose their minds.
Speaker 4 (20:34):
They're so icy, They're so clean.
Speaker 1 (20:36):
Leroy Salmon, we love you, we love Baker, we love Evans.
Speaker 4 (20:39):
We're going to talk about these afterwards. Everybody's just swooning
right now. Bucks do it great.
Speaker 3 (20:55):
Good Morning Football, Welcome back to GMFP. For the first
time in his career, Puka Nukua won't have Cooper Cup
as a teammate with the La Rams when a twenty
twenty five, he'll have another All Pro to learn from.
And DeVante Adams Nikoua appeared on The Insiders Tuesday, night
to share how DeVante Adams is already making him a
better receiver.
Speaker 10 (21:14):
It's definitely route running, his ability to change to change
pace while he's moving on the football field, the ability
to win against negative leverage, his suddenness at the line
of scrimmage. It's fantastic to see and be able to
see it in person and be lining up right next
to him.
Speaker 4 (21:29):
It make sure you have all the gas.
Speaker 10 (21:31):
Turned on when you're going out there with number seventeen.
So it's super fun. And yeah, I think when you
watch him win against negative leverage, it gives you confidence.
You start trying new things, you start working different techniques.
His ability to move defenders at all over the football
field is very awesome to see and I can't wait
to see live at action.
Speaker 3 (21:52):
You know who I would think loves the phrase winning
against negative leverage is Dan Campbell. He also loves Jamior Gibbs,
the Lions running back expecting to get the ball more
in the passing game this year as a two time
All Pro running back, telling Way Detroit quote, I'm being
split out like way more than I was the past
two years.
Speaker 2 (22:09):
That's good. That's gonna be fun.
Speaker 3 (22:11):
I've been waiting on that through his two campaigns, Gibbs
caught it combined one hundred and four passes good for
eight hundred and thirty three yards, with five receiving tds. Now,
keep in mind all this will be done without Ben Johnson.
The Commanders are retiring the number eighty one worn by
Pro Football Hall of Famer Art Monk during their Week
nine game against the Seattle Seahawks primetime Monday Night affair
(22:31):
set for November second. The Syracuse Slum won three Super
Bowls in the nation's capital. He caught eight hundred and
eighty eight passes, gained a little over twelve thousand receiving yards,
and snagged sixty five receiving tds, earning a deserved place
in the Pro Football Hall of Fame's All Decade Team
for the nineteen eighties.
Speaker 2 (22:51):
Okay, you know we've been talking about this all morning long, and.
Speaker 3 (22:55):
Here it is this absolute thing of beauty that you
are going to see the Tampa Bay Buccaneers unveil this season,
which is the return of the teams original nineteen seventy
six jersey. It's a revival of their iconic design, worn
by the franchise in its inaugural season.
Speaker 2 (23:13):
The modern edition of.
Speaker 3 (23:14):
The seventy six jersey is a tribute to the team's
original uniform design and its role in shaping the franchise's identity.
The reintroduction of the club's original look celebrates the legacy,
honoring the players and moments and victories that have defined
fifty seasons of Buccaneers football while inspiring generations of fans.
The team will debut the seventy six jersey during its
fiftieth season opener home opener Week three against the New
(23:37):
York Jets. It'll mark the first time in nearly five
decades the Bucks have taken the field in their complete
original nineteen seventy six uniform. And we got our hands
on it. Oh boy, hey, hey, Tampa Bay on the caller,
there with the with the sleeves all the way to
the end, and there it is. This might have to
be what I go trigger treating in this year, because
(23:58):
I did the same with the Rashad White jersey a
couple of years ago.
Speaker 1 (24:00):
Kyle, it's great, I have the full creamsicle Baker.
Speaker 4 (24:03):
A lot of people use the word creams to go.
Speaker 1 (24:05):
I just did to describe the color of the orange
when it was conceived. Was actually an homage to the
citrus in Florida and the oranges they grow down there.
I just also, I'm so happy to see at the
bottom of the screen on the bottom left, if you
kids don't know, that is Bucko Bruce. And there was
a time in the NFL where the mascot on someone's
helmet had a damn knife in his mouth. He is
(24:25):
an absolute savage. I love Bucco Bruce. What do you
guys think to see him again?
Speaker 7 (24:30):
Just loving that pastel orange like that is just clean.
It is not better than a jersey that's not doing
too much. But you look at this jersey, it's just
crisp and clean, and that's nice.
Speaker 4 (24:43):
What size of that, Jamie, it's my size. I'm ok.
I like to go in that jersey closet and pick
me out of jersey. We've got some new additions, you know.
I mean, I gotta all these teams nowadays are coming
out with these throwbacks. Are targets came out with that
on Navy one. Buccaneers got this one.
Speaker 2 (25:00):
No, it's my size, that's it.
Speaker 4 (25:02):
I don't know. I couldn't squeeze that one. No, that's it.
Speaker 3 (25:05):
No, there are no other options that the Bucks Senate.
They say it's Jamie Sisz. Yeah, so yeah, there it is,
and there's Bucko Bruce. My kids say that I have
an old school book and your T shirt.
Speaker 2 (25:15):
They say, does that.
Speaker 3 (25:16):
Man have a sword? Like it's terrifying. I'm like, yes,
and it's awesome. And that's what the youth of America
should learn.
Speaker 4 (25:21):
That's it.
Speaker 2 (25:21):
You're going to see this for the Bucks this upcoming season.
Speaker 9 (25:24):
Well done.
Speaker 2 (25:25):
We opened up the start of.
Speaker 3 (25:26):
The first hour on GMTB talking about the New York
Jets and their expectation coming into the season. Let's broblem
the scope on the AFC East and look at the
Miami Dolphins because Kyle, all of this, for me at
least comes in the context of holding up the cards
that we do before Week one of every NFL season
with our playoff teams on it, and the fact that
you have to consider deeply not only who wins a division,
(25:49):
but if another team.
Speaker 2 (25:50):
Within the division gets there.
Speaker 3 (25:52):
If you ling at about the Dolphins and TUA and
how this team is built with Mike McDaniel at the
Helm Mantai, what do you make of the Dolphins? Are
you considering them a playoff team? Knowing that the Bills
have run the table the last couple of years.
Speaker 4 (26:03):
Well, it's kind of hard to talk about them as
a playoff team because you just don't know how the
season is going to play out. As far as Toula's health, Toua,
There's been a lot of conversations about Tua. People tend
to forget. In twenty twenty three he led the league
in passing yards and that just happened to be the
same year that he played a lot. So if TOULTONGOBOI
look can stay on the field, that Miami Dolphins Dolphins
offense gets very, very scary, not only with Tyreek Hill,
(26:25):
who we talked about earlier in our show, but then
you have a Chan, you have a whole bunch of
other weapons that you could think about for them. Now
there's going to be some sort of transition here for
them with the talent that they lost, But you know,
I guess we'll just kind of have to see. But
as long as Tooltungofoilaw is on the field, good things
happened for the Miami Dolphins. Yeah.
Speaker 3 (26:44):
Absolutely, so you mentioned it, devon a Chan, Tyreek Hill,
Tua and Jalen Right, we got to talk Jalen Right,
running back for.
Speaker 2 (26:51):
The Miami Dolphins.
Speaker 3 (26:52):
He's joining us now on Gmffeed, Jalen, what's going on?
Speaker 4 (26:56):
Another morning?
Speaker 2 (26:57):
Great to see you, Great to see you. Let's get
right into this. Jalen.
Speaker 3 (27:01):
You're spending your time in the off season your Peru
social media and you decide to pin a tweet right
at the top of the list about yourself and say,
they done messed up? What's going on with that? What's
the narrative behind that message that you put forth In
the life of Jalen Right.
Speaker 11 (27:17):
I mean last year when I you know, I got
the call, you know, and the Dolphins you know, took
that chance on me. I mean that was a team
that I wanted to go to, and I feel like
this is a team that you know, I fit the
system most and you know, just you know, God gave
me the ability to do what I could do, and
you know, when I get on that field, you know
my show. So they're gonna they're messed up. They gonna
see you.
Speaker 4 (27:34):
And talk about the team that signs you. They didn't resign,
and this is Miami Dolphins. They didn't resign Raheem Moster
or Jeff Wilson and You've spoken before of Jeff Jeff
Wilson and how he's been a mentor to you. You're
now about to go into this space of man, I'm
excited that I got this job, but I'm also sad
that I'm losing like a big brother, a mentor to me.
How is it? How is that transition going to be
(27:55):
for you? You think heading into this season?
Speaker 11 (27:58):
I mean, you know those guys are you know, you know,
really good guys to me, especially Jeffy, and I looked
up to him, you know, he showed me the way,
you know, just not having them it just makes me
step up more into a leader role in running back room,
you know, on the team, so you know, just meeting
and playing my cards right, you know, just me stepping up,
you know when I need to step up on and
off the field.
Speaker 1 (28:17):
Jayalen, is Tyrek really that fast? Is he still that fast?
Tell us about the state of.
Speaker 11 (28:22):
Tyren Nah, for sure, He's definitely that fast, you know,
Tyrek man, you know, for him to be doing what
he doing at the age, you know, he's a huge competitor,
and you know we always compete all the fastest guys
on team.
Speaker 4 (28:33):
I was compete when we're.
Speaker 6 (28:33):
Doing drills and things. You know, he always want to
be first.
Speaker 11 (28:36):
He's definitely still fast, still has it, you know, and
I'm very excited to see what he's gonna do this shit, Jayalen.
Speaker 7 (28:42):
I got to ask about the mad scientist, the offensive guru,
your coach, Mike McDaniel.
Speaker 6 (28:48):
He's also got the creative play calls.
Speaker 7 (28:50):
Have you been putting in any new plays or new wrinkles.
Speaker 6 (28:52):
His off season that you're excited about? Yeah, Yeah, Mike.
You never know what he's gonna do.
Speaker 11 (28:57):
You never know what kind of plays he's gonna come
with in practice. You know, he sometimes gets he gets bored,
and you know he's switching.
Speaker 6 (29:03):
A lot of things up.
Speaker 11 (29:04):
So you know, just just him, you know, just knowing
what he's doing and you know the things that he does.
Speaker 6 (29:09):
It definitely works.
Speaker 11 (29:10):
He's definitely smart, and he definitely knows how to use
everybody's skill set so that it's gonna be great.
Speaker 3 (29:16):
Jalen, it's always good to be a part of the
football conversation, especially in the offseason where we have a
little bit more wiggle.
Speaker 2 (29:21):
Room to explore our opinions on players.
Speaker 3 (29:24):
Historically, Randy Moss is out here one of the greatest
wide receivers of all time, talking about where Justin Jefferson
ranks and Jamar Chase and now he's saying that Tyreek Kill.
While he may be a top five receiver, he's nowhere
all time. How does that make you feel about even
just the concept of ranking players currently? But what makes
playing with Tyreek Hill special?
Speaker 9 (29:45):
On offense?
Speaker 11 (29:46):
You know, Tyree, he Tyreek draws a lot of attention.
You know where he's that, you know he's going to
draw attention and people got to respect him.
Speaker 6 (29:53):
I definitely feel.
Speaker 11 (29:54):
Like Tyreek can be somebody that's that's that's in the
Hall of Fame. I feel like Tyreek is a great guy,
a great, great receiver, great player. He's hard to handle.
I mean, sweet can't ta So, I mean I kind
of don't agree on that. I feel like something very special.
He already something special, but definitely like he could work
his way to Hall of Fame.
Speaker 4 (30:14):
Jah And you said something earlier, and I want to
follow up on what you said. You said when talking
about Tyreek in your speed that all the fast guys
race each other. First of all, who are those fast
guys on your team? I think we all kind of
generally know who they are, But who are those fast guys?
And if you guys have raced, who's the fastest.
Speaker 11 (30:31):
The fast guys, I'll probably give you it's just a
lot of fast guys.
Speaker 6 (30:35):
We got it.
Speaker 11 (30:35):
I'm putting myself in there, of course, Devon Jenlen Waddell, Tyreek.
We also got this other guy named Ethan Bonner. He's
cornerback's very fast US racing. I mean we have never
really raced like all out. We did like like five
yard verse whatever. You know, Tyree, you know he tried.
He comes in first, you know a lot of times.
I mean I feel like sometimes he cheats the whizzle.
(30:56):
But but you know, you know, we all you know,
we all out there.
Speaker 4 (31:01):
You know he's doing our things.
Speaker 6 (31:02):
So you know it's gonna be exciting this year.
Speaker 7 (31:03):
You know, after the season last year, Tyree went on
social media and kind of vented a little bit. Felt
like he didn't take this season or the off season
as serious as he should have, felt.
Speaker 6 (31:13):
Like the standard wasn't as high as it should have been.
Speaker 7 (31:16):
What changes in this off season as Mike McDaniel may
be made to make sure that the standard is the
standard and that the culture is right going into this next.
Speaker 11 (31:23):
Season, we're really just holding everybody accountable, you know, just
making sure everybody, you know, it was just all together.
Speaker 6 (31:30):
I feel like, you know, we've.
Speaker 11 (31:30):
Been doing a lot of a lot more team by
the activities, you know, to create their brotherhood, you know,
just that's that's what matters, you know, within like the
long season that replaced so everybody got sticked together. So
I mean it's off season, you know, just keeping everybody together,
you know, holding everybody accountable, you know, and just everybody
just being all there.
Speaker 3 (31:46):
Well, we look forward to watching the Dolphins this season
and fighting for their right within the AFC East. Jalen right,
a part of that offensively for the Dolphins. Jalen, awesome
to see you this morning. Stay healthy and we wish
you the best. We'll talk to you the season, all right, yes.
Speaker 6 (31:59):
Man, thank you, thank you.
Speaker 2 (32:01):
Taylor ends up, fins up. Absolutely, we are back on jmtpak.
Speaker 4 (32:18):
Good mon football.
Speaker 7 (32:21):
Kicking the Stigma is our commitment to eradicating and getting
this environment changed.
Speaker 12 (32:29):
The power and platform of the Horseshoe gives us opportunity
to bring visibility to mental health and create conversations that
it's okay to not be okay. We've seen such a
great response across our community when we've created opportunities for
collaboration and conversation by simply meeting people where they are.
It shows us how much progress we can make together
(32:50):
in this space.
Speaker 3 (32:51):
Since launching in twenty twenty, Kicking the Stigma has committed
more than thirty one million to nonprofits and organizations expanding
treatment and research and raising awareness about mental health disorders. Today,
we have the true pleasure of speaking with one of
the people at the helm of this important fight, the
voice that you just heard. Please welcome Indianapolis Colts owner
and chief brand Officer Kaylin Jackson. Good morning, Kaelin, Good
(33:13):
morning Carolyn.
Speaker 2 (33:15):
How are you so Caylin?
Speaker 3 (33:17):
We just saw on your father, Jim Mersay was such
a huge personality and a truly beloved member of the
NFL family and community for decades, and first and foremost,
we're so sorry to hear about his passing and satin
to hear about it.
Speaker 2 (33:31):
Over the past couple.
Speaker 3 (33:31):
Months, you and your sisters have now had to navigate
publicly the road to not only mourning his loss, but
also taking over as co owners of the Colts. What's
this transition been like for you and your sisters.
Speaker 9 (33:42):
Yeah, and thank you for your kind words.
Speaker 12 (33:45):
It's definitely been difficult, as anyone who has lost a
parent would know very well. But he really truly prepared
us for this moment. You know, we hoped it wouldn't
ever be this soon, but he prepared us since the
day we were born. It feels like to be ready
for this opportunity when I'm where it came if we
(34:05):
still wanted to choose this path. And we're so blessed
that he truly gave us so much trust and access
from a very young age to prepare us.
Speaker 9 (34:15):
And what a blessing that was.
Speaker 12 (34:17):
I think we always said that we were sponges.
Speaker 9 (34:21):
In every room we were in.
Speaker 12 (34:22):
We really tried to realize that we had this amazing
opportunity to make a huge impact.
Speaker 9 (34:28):
And I think he was the ultimate girl dad for sure.
Speaker 12 (34:31):
He so proud of the fact that he had three
girls that we're going to be able to make an.
Speaker 9 (34:35):
Impact in the NFL.
Speaker 12 (34:37):
But I think the hardest thing is that, you know,
one of his biggest dreams was to see us all
do this together, and I think realizing that he wouldn't
actually be here to see that dream of his is hard,
for sure, but also very inspiring and makes us want
to make him proud and really continue his legacy.
Speaker 4 (34:55):
Yeah, there really was.
Speaker 1 (34:56):
An outpouring of mourning and emotion when the news happened,
and we certainly felt that here from our perspective in
the media. He it was just so unique and so
interesting and candidly, so fun and everything that came with it.
What do you now hope that your father's legacy will
be not only with the Indianapolis cults, but across the
NFL moving forward.
Speaker 12 (35:18):
Yeah, I mean what big shoes to fill, right? He
was a larger than life, yes, and very perfectly imperfect.
He really represented I think, being human and not being
perfect and what beauty that is and living authentically both
in business and you know, off the field, if he will,
in philanthropy and really using his own story to inspire
(35:40):
others in many ways, and really relating to people.
Speaker 9 (35:42):
He loved people. He loved that part of the business.
And I think, you.
Speaker 12 (35:47):
Know, his dad brought football to Indiana, but he really
solidified it here, you know, by you know, bringing Lucas oil,
bringing a Super Bowl to Indianapolis.
Speaker 9 (35:56):
Those are huge, huge elements.
Speaker 12 (35:57):
And I'll never forget when we won the Super Bowl.
We're all drenched, you know, the rain, and it was
such an amazing moment. And he turned to me and
my sisters and was just us four, and he said,
I want you to remember this moment right now, because
you have no idea how difficult it is to get here,
and you may never have this feeling again, and I
(36:19):
want you to remember this moment. So I think those
types of memories are what I really hold on to
and really wanting to get back up to the top
of that mountain and have that feeling again for him.
But I'm so glad that he had that moment while
he was still with us, because it was such an
important moment to him.
Speaker 4 (36:37):
Caitlen, you talked a little bit about it, like you
talked about the big shoes that you had to feel
during this whole process as you and your sisters kind
of took over for your dad with his not only
being what he meant to the India Indianapolis close, but
to the entire NFL community. Were there any types of
fears or worries between you guys when you had to
(36:58):
face effect that man, we're going to have to take
over this job and follow him.
Speaker 12 (37:02):
Yeah, No, I mean I think he, like I said,
he prepared us so well. I think from a young age,
as I said, it was his dream that we would
do this, but it was.
Speaker 9 (37:09):
Never an expectation.
Speaker 4 (37:11):
You know.
Speaker 12 (37:11):
He really gave us the space to explore but what
we wanted to do in life and if this was,
you know, our passion, truly our passion, and so he
really gave us that space to figure that out. And
we already we knew that this is what we wanted
to do. We just, you know, like I said, hoped
that it wouldn't be this soon.
Speaker 9 (37:28):
It's a bittersweet moment.
Speaker 12 (37:29):
We feel extremely ready for the challenge, but we also
don't take it lightly. You know. I think our whole life,
we've been raised to realize that this is want a
huge opportunity. But my dad always liked to say that
not we're not owners, we're stewards. You know, we really
get this opportunity to guide this and lead a community.
Speaker 9 (37:47):
You know, it's not just about the play on.
Speaker 12 (37:50):
The field, but it's about what we can do in
the community because of that success on the field. And
he really took that seriously and ingreened that in us
and so we feel very ready, but we also don't
you know, take this for granted in any way.
Speaker 6 (38:04):
Kayle. We mentioned a.
Speaker 7 (38:05):
Little bit about kicking the stigma earlier, but could you
share more about the why behind this important cause and
really how it came to be.
Speaker 12 (38:12):
Yeah, so we've always done so much work in the community.
It's definitely something that kind of feels synonymous with our horseshoe.
It's something that really is a huge part of our brand,
is showing up where there's need. And we kind of
thought back and twenty nineteen actually before COVID hit, and
we had said, you know, what would be something that
would be our family's passion if we were to pick something.
(38:32):
And because of our you know, such close relationship with
mental health struggles, you know, my dad's very public struggle
with substance use disorder. I think for a long time
we didn't even realize we were subconsciously not talking about
this topic because of that.
Speaker 9 (38:48):
And I think it is.
Speaker 12 (38:49):
Because of the stigma piece, and that's a huge part
of why people don't speak about their struggles, get help
for their struggles, even look into resources, or even maybe
even donate to organizations because of that stigma and when
we looked into the numbers in twenty nineteen for the
state of Indiana, they were horrible, I mean the worst
and all the things you don't want the worst in suicide, depression, anxiety,
(39:12):
you name it. And it was this moment of it
really was kind of upsetting, like this area that was
so personal to us, we had subconsciously avoided and so
stepping into that space was such an inspiring moment for me,
my dad, our whole family to really own our story.
Speaker 4 (39:30):
Thing.
Speaker 12 (39:30):
For a long time, our story was told about us,
and this was the first time we were telling it
for ourselves and what power there is in.
Speaker 9 (39:37):
That and then kind of took off on its own
and became, you.
Speaker 12 (39:41):
Know, really really bigger than we ever expected. And I
think it's because that need is there and that feeling
of loneliness and isolation when you have these issues is
so strong and you feel such guilt for it because
that's kind of how it's been portrayed in our culture.
So we're really trying to not only showcase the resources
(40:02):
that there are, but really fund the amazing organizations that
already are in existence, and really China light on this
area that's been in the dark for so long, and
you guys have always been so supportive of us from
the very beginning. I've been on here multiple times talking
about kicking the stigma. It's just so so kind of
you and anyone who can shine a light on it.
Speaker 9 (40:21):
It truly truly does help.
Speaker 12 (40:23):
Even just speaking about it for five minutes right now,
you have no idea who could be listening and realizing
that having a.
Speaker 9 (40:29):
Group of us talk about this is a really big deal.
Speaker 4 (40:32):
Kaly, And it's just been incredible the positive work that
has been achieved in just five years. It hasn't gone unnoticed.
Yesterday you attended the eleventh Annual Sports Humanitarian Awards as
part of the SP's week to accept a very prestigious
award on behalf of the coach. Can you tell us
more about that.
Speaker 9 (40:48):
Yes, it was such a wonderful night.
Speaker 12 (40:50):
We've been nominated the last two years and tonight last
night we won, and so it was such a such
a medieul night. It was a really really incredible and
Pat McFee was there to present it to us, which
is extra special for us. So we are just so
honored and big thank you to Yesdn.
Speaker 3 (41:06):
I Bet and you deserve to be celebrated for all
the work that you have done this entire time. Klan,
such a pleasure to talk to you this morning. Thank
you also for always making time for us to make
sure that people understand this message that is ever so
close to you and your family's hearts and the Colts
and you are making it important.
Speaker 2 (41:21):
To the rest of the NFL.
Speaker 3 (41:22):
Make sure to catch the SPS tonight at eight pm
Eastern on ABC, and for more on Kicking the Stigma,
go ahead and visit the Kickingthistigma.
Speaker 2 (41:29):
Dot org website. Kaylen Jackson, everybody.
Speaker 9 (41:33):
Thank ye, thank you.
Speaker 2 (41:35):
Oh that's so sweet.
Speaker 3 (41:38):
It feels specifically important to know that we are just
fifty days away from watching live action regular season football.
Speaker 2 (41:44):
Oh my, look at that.
Speaker 3 (41:46):
Go Thursday, September fourth will be the kickoff game in Philadelphia.
You'll see the Eagles take on the Cowboys and then
it's roll the ball out and play for the next
eighteen weeks. And Kyle, I know you have a gifted
T shirt there that is really making you fired up today,
like many have that poster and you have this hawked
angry runs cam Skataboo shirt.
Speaker 1 (42:07):
That's right, you know, it's like you know they get
the real concert shirt, and then there's guys in the
parking lot selling the fake ones for half the price.
That's this one, Cabinda. You're worth every penny. We love
you man, thanks for coming by.
Speaker 6 (42:18):
Appreciate you guys. Man look by.
Speaker 2 (42:19):
Good morning football fan, Have a good day everybody.
Speaker 3 (42:23):
See you brother, Bye, GMFB fam
Good Morning Football is the production of the NFL in
partnership with iHeartRadio.
Speaker 2 (00:10):
Welcome to TED Good Morning Football, Everybody.
Speaker 3 (00:12):
We're live in LA and New York City today, Wednesday,
July sixteen.
Speaker 2 (00:15):
Jimmie Ardo mante.
Speaker 3 (00:16):
Teo Kyle Brandt, Kyle, I have something very exciting to
tell you. We have an addition to the jersey closet
here in Los Angeles.
Speaker 2 (00:24):
It has arrived.
Speaker 3 (00:25):
And when I tell you it's vintage, you are going
to be so proud and you want to get your
hands on this sucker.
Speaker 2 (00:30):
We're going to reveal it this hour.
Speaker 1 (00:33):
If anybody doesn't know, there's a magical closet there in
Los Angeles that's like the Walk of Chocolate Factor. You
walk in there and it's every jersey you could ever
want or need in any size, in any era. And
when Jamie t'say is something like that, you better tune
in and see what it's going to be.
Speaker 4 (00:47):
So do not leave.
Speaker 1 (00:47):
Let's start the show because I want to know what it's.
Speaker 4 (00:49):
Going to be. Football.
Speaker 3 (01:06):
That's right, GMFB, Happy Wednesday, everybody.
Speaker 2 (01:09):
Kyle Mantai, Jamie, we're here. We just told you that we.
Speaker 3 (01:11):
Have a jersey vintage of the ventionance nature, but one
of the teams the NFL is going to wear a
jersey from their original season. It's amazing, it's beautiful. We
have our hands on it, but it is what they're
going to wear this season. So before we get to that,
that is in the next segment. Sometimes we have so
much content and talking points that we have to get
in on the show. We do a segment called quote
(01:33):
un Quotes un quotes, and it's Kyle's favorite part of
the show, where were just talk talk talk doc talk
dot dot com and we listen to what the players
have to say and we respond. Let's learn Washington commander's
wide receiver Terry McLaurin is looking for a contract extension
and he's not happy with the progress of those talks.
Speaker 2 (01:48):
Take a listen to McLaurin.
Speaker 4 (01:50):
I've been pretty frustrated.
Speaker 5 (01:51):
I'm not gonna lie. Everything that has transpired up to
this point is has been disappointing and frustrating. You know,
I wanted to continue my career here. I've created my
life here. You know, my wife and I bought our
first home year, so this has been somewhere where I've
always wanted to be. I haven't decided that yet, I'm
trying to take things day by day, and you know,
(02:14):
I think that's the disappointing part where I was hoping
up until this point things would clear up a lot
more than they have.
Speaker 6 (02:21):
And so I haven't made.
Speaker 5 (02:23):
That decision yet and I'm just want to see how
the rest of this week goes and take it day
by day.
Speaker 3 (02:29):
In that same interview, Terry McLaurin would go on to
say that quote without any progressive discussions, it's hard to
see how to step on the field and quote, Frankly,
the demeanor that you see on Terry McLaurin during that
media availability is so different from the guy that we
see on the field all the time, the smiling, the
scary Terry, the celebratory wide receiver Manti. How do you
see the situation playing out with McLaurin and the commanders.
Speaker 4 (02:52):
Well, you said earlier in your segment, Jamie, that we
listened to pleasures on what they say. I like to
listen to my co host, says Willie Coloneyesterday talked about
Garrett Wilson and everything that he's been through when he
signed with the Jets and the lack of putduction from
that team. Well, when as he was talking about Garrett Wilson,
I immediately thought about skarit Arry because what that guy
has had to go through in the six years that
(03:12):
he's been with the Washington Commanders. Guys, he's only been
to the playoffs once and that was last year. And
that is a player, Guys that has had five one
thousand yard seasons in his six year career. The only
time he didn't have a thousand yards receiving was his
rookie year and I think he missed it by eighty yards.
So this is a guy Washington that has been with
(03:33):
you through the dark times. He's a guy that has
been with you through the rough time. Matter of fact,
he's a guy that's been with you. When you change
your name like two or three times, that's how long
he's been with you. And he's been riding with you
ever since. It's like the movie Loved, Don't Cost a Thing, KP.
Have you have you ever seen the movie Loved, Don't
Cost the Thing with Nick Cannon.
Speaker 1 (03:51):
There's a guy and of course it's a remake of
Can't Bind Me Love from the eighties.
Speaker 4 (03:55):
See that you're just revealing your age on this show,
k because I didn't know that show. I only know
Loved Them costs a thing, and you know, knowing that storyline,
it's about a nerdy guy who wants to be famous,
he wants to be popular, and he kind of buys
his way into this popular circle. Well, he leaves his
nerdy friends. Only later on in the movie to find
out that these popular guys they start to find out
that he's not who he says he is, and so
(04:16):
he kind of goes and he begs to be with
his friends that were with him from the beginning through
the dark times. That's like Scared Terry, guys, okay to
stop playing with him. Washington. There's a reason why we're
talking about the Washington Commanders this year going into twenty
twenty five, and a lot of it had to do
with Jayden Daniels, but a lot of it had to
do with Scared Terry in his performance. So let's not
forget that a lot of this success that you guys
(04:38):
had was because there was a guy that has been
around there for six years and he's had to deal
with all of the junk that came with being a
part of that team for all of these years. And
now your guys are great. Don't forget about the guy
that was there with you during the dark times, and
that's scared Terry. I hear that. I hear it's good points.
Speaker 1 (04:53):
There's a lot of things I'm agreeing with you guys
are saying. First of all, jamiees, the Terry McLaurin body
language is terrible, only because the Terry mclaarin body language
is usually so good. He's usually so charismatic, an upbeat.
He looks beating down, does not look good. He does
not look happy, but maybe he looks dug in. I
would also say, I'm gonna be so mad if, like
twenty minutes from now or twenty days from now, I
(05:13):
see some Ian Rappaport tweet that Arry mcluin has been
traded to the Jaguars. I'm gonna be pissed up that happens.
I don't want that to happen. That's not that'd be
like a football crime. I want him to be there.
It's also complicated, like the record has scratched for the
commanders who have been in this montage mode of this
beautiful run, and the new owner is so well liked,
and the new GM is doing so great, and they
(05:34):
drafted the right quarterback.
Speaker 4 (05:35):
Well, I don't know. Terry mclaurin's been around for a
long time.
Speaker 1 (05:38):
He preempts the owner, he preempts the GM. He goes
back from the dark era. So if you're a Commander's fan,
are you team McLaurin, like Manty saying, are you like
you know what I roll with Josh Harris and Adam
Peters like, I'm gonna trust their business acumen and their decisions.
Speaker 4 (05:57):
I don't know.
Speaker 1 (05:58):
Here's what I do know, and I'll try to end
with a thread of optimism. These things usually get taken
care of. Yeah, I really do think they usually work out.
Whether we thought Deebo would never play with the Niners again,
they signed him.
Speaker 4 (06:11):
And it's not just the Niners thing.
Speaker 1 (06:12):
Typically you don't see star player just completely discarded. I
think they'll get it done. But geez, I mean, thirty
years old, thirty million, he's a really good player. I
think probably that the fans are maybe a little bit
more with ownership in the GM, since they've been so
great in the last few years.
Speaker 2 (06:29):
See Kyle.
Speaker 3 (06:30):
It's actually interesting that Manti makes this movie reference, and
the thread of the movie that Manti knows is a
two thousand and three film has no concept that that
is a remake of Love don't cost a thing for
it to become can't by me love to it to become?
Love don't cost a thing. If I was management and
ownership and I am working with let's just say the
next gen of Commanders fans, I would want to get
(06:51):
this thing done with this guy because he is representative
despite being there during all this transition of this Washington
football team to the Commanders.
Speaker 2 (06:59):
That is Terry McLaurin in its essence.
Speaker 3 (07:01):
So if you have some young up and coming fan
I went to call in DC at the time the NFL,
they were fighting for fandom for this team, specifically because
the Ravens were poaching them. You've got people living in
town that are from elsewhere. But the Commanders have a
vibe now, and I feel like if you don't invest
in somebody who is representative of this winning culture that
finally exists, then what are we doing? And you risk
(07:21):
kind of losing the interest perhaps of these young fans.
So I would sign more with Terry mcclaurin in this circumstance,
but hopefully fingers crossed.
Speaker 2 (07:28):
As Kyle said, it all works out.
Speaker 3 (07:30):
Okay, Moving on quotes on quotes on quotes, we're still
talking about Randy Moss and the Hall of Fame Wide
receivers take on wide receivers currently currently playing, talking about
all time lists, though this time it's the Tyreek Hill category.
Randy Moss says, quote, He's nowhere all time. Where is
he at in today's game? Tyreek Hill is probably top five,
(07:51):
probably top five?
Speaker 2 (07:52):
Sure, I put him in the top five.
Speaker 3 (07:54):
Oof our reaction to Randy Moss and his ranking of
Tyreek Hill.
Speaker 4 (08:00):
Yeah, I agree that he is a top five currently
currently right. The follow up question was, he's nowhere all time.
And it's so hard to have these kinds of conversations
because we're in a time, in an era where guys
have seen Tyreek Hill do amazing things on the football field.
We've seen a level of speed that we haven't seen
(08:21):
in a long time. Matter of fact, I firmly believe Kyle,
that's a there's a saying that says speed kills in
the NFL. The problem is this, that's that's false, Like
the speed doesn't kill in the NFL. Separation kills and
Tyreek Hill because of his speed, he has speed that
it's just not even human. And because he has that,
(08:41):
he creates separation. He's been doing it for Kansas City
Chiefs when he first got into the league, and he's
been doing it for the Dolphins now. When you think
about the crowd he's with the group that he's with,
he's forty second all time in receptions and receiving yards
forty second. So to give some validity to what Randy
Moss says about all time, he's kind of right. And
(09:02):
if you think about and Bowden and Reggie Wayne, he's
tied with them with thirtieth in career touchdowns and that's
not saying again. I think what we have to do
is kind of change the tone of this question. I
think when people may think when they hear, oh, he's
not anywhere near the all time list, they may be like, oh,
he's a hater. He's a hater. I don't think he's
being a hater. I don't know why nowadays, when you
(09:23):
speak the truth, it's offensive, like he's just giving you
a fact that, hey, he's forty second in reception and
receiving yards and he's thirtieth for touchdowns. And I think
with those facts alone, it gives some validity to what
Brandy Moss said, But again, I do want to give
Tyrek his flowers by what he's been able to do
in his career. Right now, his career isn't done, so KB,
(09:45):
I guess we'll have to see how it plays out
in the end and where he ranks in the end,
and maybe we can revisit this conversation.
Speaker 1 (09:51):
Yeah, and Randy Moss can say whatever the hell he
wants about.
Speaker 4 (09:54):
All time great wide receivers.
Speaker 1 (09:56):
The point is that Tyreek is still in his career.
He's still a young man. All time great means you know,
you're a first ballot Hall of Famer. You're in the
conversation in a handful of the greatest ever.
Speaker 4 (10:10):
It's TBD with Tyreek.
Speaker 1 (10:11):
And that's what I think is interesting about Tyreek right now.
Fascinating portion of his career as we move forward, he
has played nine seasons. All time greats and first ballot
Hall of Famers are made in the back half of
their careers. It's the Michael Jordan learning the turnaround jump
shot portion of their careers. So I will compare him now,
(10:33):
he just finished his ninth season. He'd be starting his
ten this year. Tenthist here Tyreek. Randy Moss from season
ten to the rest of his career had fifty six
more touchdowns. Tarol Owens had fifty eight more touchdowns. Jerry
Rice had eighty two more touchdowns just starting on season ten,
(10:54):
and a couple of those guys, especially Moss and TiO,
did it with.
Speaker 4 (10:56):
A whole bunch of different quarterbacks. They did not just
lock in and ride with one legend.
Speaker 1 (11:02):
So what I'm saying for Tyreek is, it's all of you.
You could be an all time great. I don't think
he is now. He's not an all time great. He's
a great player. But Tyreek has it in front of him.
If he can find a way in the back half
of his career to do with these guys like Moss
and Owens and Rice did, which is continue to develop
and evolve, he could be an all time great. If
(11:22):
he slows down a little bit and he doesn't have
those other gears, and he's a pretty small guy, then
he'll just be this awesome, awesome player from the twenty
tens and twenty twenties who went.
Speaker 4 (11:30):
With Mahomes and on and on. All time great is
in front of him. We'll see what he does with it. KB,
I got a question for you because you just pointed
out something that I kind of mentioned in my little
segment about speed doesn't kill. Because you mentioned that all
of this, all of these accomplishments happen in the latter
end of these really good receivers. What is it about
those ladder ends? Because obviously it's not speed, right, it's
(11:53):
they're not getting faster as they go. But what about it?
I have my own take on it, But what about it?
Do you think in the end allows him to have
even better production later in their career?
Speaker 1 (12:03):
Well, I mean, listen, Rice is the all time legend,
ridiculous work ethic and then Jerry Rice was in his forties,
He's catching touchdowns on the Raiders and the Seahawks. He
just like it was separation, it was knowledge, it was wisdom.
And Tyreek is like has this luxury where he's just like,
I got a bazukah, I'm fast on everybody on the field.
Speaker 4 (12:21):
I'll just blow past them.
Speaker 1 (12:22):
But I think he doesn't get enough credit as the
nuances he knows as a wide receiver. So the short
answer is, you work your ass off and you learn
new ways to play the game. Like the Jordan turnaround.
We'll see if Tyreek does that.
Speaker 2 (12:32):
We have our own Bazuka on the show.
Speaker 3 (12:34):
Jason Gobindo was with us earlier and he's back. We
lost him for a second. But Jason Gobinda, you got
thoughts on Tyreek Hill and whether or not he qualifies
for this all time list and conversation.
Speaker 7 (12:43):
Yeah, I mean, I think it's definitely early to talk
about all time.
Speaker 6 (12:48):
You can definitely say all decade.
Speaker 7 (12:49):
I think we can all agree that Tyreek is going
to be an all decade guy, There's no question about that.
But I think the interesting part about this conversation what
makes Tyreek Hill super unique?
Speaker 6 (12:59):
I think it's his size.
Speaker 7 (13:01):
I don't think we've ever seen a receiver at his
size be able to be able to operate anywhere on
the feld. Normally, the Wes Welkers, the Julian Adaminz only
operate inside er in the slot.
Speaker 6 (13:12):
Tyreek is a guy at its size who used.
Speaker 7 (13:14):
To play running back, who the true number one, who
can play truly number one outside wide receiver and run
absolutely any route inside the tree. Now, I think that's
what is going to be the differentiator in the conversation
is how.
Speaker 6 (13:27):
Much does his size and.
Speaker 7 (13:29):
His specs contribute to his greatness and his ability to
do things that guys we only saw at six three
sixty four sixty five be able to do. And I
think that's what makes Tyreek so special and such a different,
unique type of player.
Speaker 3 (13:42):
Combinda, that's where your brain and my brain differs so much,
because I had the same exact thought about tyreek Hill size,
but I looked at it almost as a hinderance moving
forward for him, because Kyle just blew my mind with
some of those numbers for touchdown catches for some of
those great wide receivers moving on from year ten. And
in my mind, the reason why too, or Randy Moss
(14:02):
or Jerry Rice we're able to stab some of those
TV catches later in their career was they became these
big body red zone threats. Maybe they weren't that explosive
off the line where they're catching seven of ten balls
as they move the ball down the field, But if
you can rack up those numbers, maybe it is because
you can elevate and legitimately mossa guy is Tyreek capable
of that in his career because of his size. So Cominda,
(14:25):
I kind of spun it a different way, which is,
if the speed ever falters for Tyreek Hill, how else
is he going to separate himself both physically on the
field from a defender, but also with this conversation of
some of the great guys.
Speaker 2 (14:37):
What do you think about that, Coavinda?
Speaker 8 (14:39):
Well, I think that's another thing that makes Tyreek so
unique is the explosion is absolutely often charged. Like he
can jump as high or if not higher than at
Terrell Owens at his size, Like we've never seen guys
acting his side be able to.
Speaker 6 (14:53):
Get fifty to fifty balls at the rate that he
is that he's able to do with that.
Speaker 7 (14:57):
This guy jumps over DB's at whatever hiding What is
Tyreek five eleven whatever five to ten short for the
number one wide receiver, So to be able to jump
over DB's and do those things at that size, Yes,
I believe it's a hindred but I don't think we
can really talk about it right now because he's not
showing any signs of slowing down when it comes to
that speed, when.
Speaker 6 (15:17):
It comes to that athleticism.
Speaker 7 (15:19):
So I think that's a conversation that we can have
when we finally do see the Cheetah lose the step.
Speaker 3 (15:24):
All right, moving on with quotes unquotes unquotes elsewhere in Florida.
On a recent podcast, Jaguars quarterback Trevor Lawrence said he
wants the Jags to be taken seriously. Of course, where
I'm at in my career, year five, this.
Speaker 2 (15:36):
Is Trevor Lawrence.
Speaker 3 (15:37):
It's time to go and start winning consistently and be
not just that team where it's like no one really
takes you seriously. You want to be that team that's
always competing for the playoffs, super Bowls and you're in
the hunt. Okay, So Trevor Lawrence looking for some stability
when it comes to postseason experience. Man, Si, do you
think that this is the year that the Jags can
(15:58):
take that step and become a legitimately seriously taken contender,
specifically within their vision in the conference?
Speaker 4 (16:05):
Well, Jamie, it's going to take more than Trevor Lawrence.
And and that's the facts about this. I remember when
Sean Paynon, when I played for the Saints for three year,
Sean Payne would always say this, there are thirty two
teams in the NFL. Only twenty teams have an actual chance.
The other twelve have no Chance and the facts about
the Jacksonville Jaguars and Jason, you know this, they have
been a stat team. What I mean by that is
(16:26):
when you see them on your schedule, you're like, oh,
this is going to be a stat game. Now. I
want to defer to mister Jason Cabinda since we have
him on the show today, because Jason Combindo was with
the Detroit Lions in twenty nineteen. He joined in twenty nineteen. Now,
back in twenty nineteen, the Lions were considered one of
those stat game teams. But then Dan Campbell comes in
twenty twenty one, and now they're one of the best
(16:46):
teams in the NFL. Jason, what did you see that
changed during your time in Detroit that maybe the Jacksonville
Jaguars could kind of implement with Trevor Lawrence and company.
Speaker 7 (16:57):
Well, one thing I want.
Speaker 6 (16:59):
To say, let me start with this.
Speaker 7 (17:00):
You know, when I first started with Detroit, Matt Stafford
was there, and I don't they Matt would ever go
out in the media and have a quote like this.
Speaker 6 (17:08):
You would never have a woe is me type of attitude.
Speaker 7 (17:11):
He was the type of guy that no matter what,
no matter what it looked like whether the defense was bad,
whether the offense wasn't playing well, he kept his head out.
Speaker 6 (17:18):
And he just worked and worked and worked.
Speaker 7 (17:20):
So I'll say that, first of all, I don't think
this is a type of quote that you want.
Speaker 6 (17:23):
To put out there in the media.
Speaker 7 (17:25):
And then number two, I just think, you know, it
comes down to culture.
Speaker 6 (17:29):
It comes down to believe and at.
Speaker 7 (17:31):
The end of the day, as a quarterback, as the
head and lead of the offense and organization, being a number.
Speaker 6 (17:36):
One overall, pick a lot of that is on your shoulders.
And this is not the type of attitude you want
to instill in your team or the type of thoughts
they even want them thinking.
Speaker 7 (17:46):
You know, in Detroit, when we were able to turn
things around, it started with the culture. It started with
getting one of the loser mentality. It started with carry more.
It started with bringing guys along in terms of the
work ethic, in terms of staying after longer, after practice,
getting more synergy. All of these things, and those are
the things that happened in the dark. And I think
with Trevor Lawrence, this is gonna be a year of
(18:09):
no excuses, especially offensively. No last year he got hurt
he's limited to ten games. He had the ac joint
and a concussion, but he wasn't having a great year.
Two and eight in the Star, It's eleven touchdowns, seven picks,
two thousand yards.
Speaker 6 (18:21):
You got Brian Thomas. You now have Travias Hunter in
the hive and winner.
Speaker 7 (18:25):
I think this is going to be a year of
no excuses for Trevor Lawrence, and instead of talking about it,
he's gonna have to go over there and be about it.
Speaker 1 (18:31):
I actually really liked this quote from Lawrence just as
a fan, like I've been waiting for this quote from Lawrence.
I've been waiting for him to say I'm tired of
this crap.
Speaker 4 (18:39):
I think you need to hear that.
Speaker 1 (18:40):
This is a guy who was looked at as the
guy who's going to change the sports, the greatest prospects
since this and this, and it's just it's just been
middling at best. And they've done everything they can possibly do.
Speaker 9 (18:52):
Now.
Speaker 4 (18:52):
Two years ago, they drafted tackle. Last year, they draft
a wide receiver.
Speaker 1 (18:55):
This year they trade everything to draft the perfect weapon.
Speaker 4 (18:58):
They have the offensive coach. Now, it's like Trevor, if.
Speaker 1 (19:02):
Not now, when when are we going to see even
like a fraction of our expectations from you because he's
down there. You know, he can sit down there in
media market thirty two where most of the country doesn't care,
most of Flora that doesn't care, and they can go
seven and ten this year and no one would bat
And I to finally hear something from him as a
(19:22):
sentient leader who's not plugged into the wall and said,
I'm sick of this craft so much.
Speaker 4 (19:27):
I'm paraphrasing.
Speaker 1 (19:28):
I'd like to hear him say that, I'd like to
see him play like that.
Speaker 4 (19:31):
I'd like to see.
Speaker 1 (19:32):
Anything of substance from this era in which everything now
has been surrounded with him and they're just sitting by
watching the Texans every year become the new cool thing,
and c J. Stroud be coming with Trevor Lawrence was
supposed to be. He's very young, he's a lot of
football in front of him. But I like, let's let's go.
And I'm tired of this. I've been waiting to hear
this from Lawrence, and I hope we'll hear more.
Speaker 3 (19:51):
Absolutely all right, they are quote on quote un quotes.
We have the rest of a show that we have
to fill up, so we have to take it to
break because we have two guests coming up this hour,
and as I mentioned, the jersey reveal. But first we
are talking to Colts owner and chief's Brand Officer Kaylan
Jackson about her transition to becoming the Colts owner and
her work expanding treatment research and raising awareness about mental
(20:14):
health disorders and an award that she just won. We're
so excited to have that conversation, Kyle. Plus what else
we got.
Speaker 1 (20:22):
I don't know if anybody gets more excited on the
internet about anything then Bucks throwback uniforms. And there's some
weirdos out there on the internet, but when you show
them this, they lose their minds.
Speaker 4 (20:34):
They're so icy, They're so clean.
Speaker 1 (20:36):
Leroy Salmon, we love you, we love Baker, we love Evans.
Speaker 4 (20:39):
We're going to talk about these afterwards. Everybody's just swooning
right now. Bucks do it great.
Speaker 3 (20:55):
Good Morning Football, Welcome back to GMFP. For the first
time in his career, Puka Nukua won't have Cooper Cup
as a teammate with the La Rams when a twenty
twenty five, he'll have another All Pro to learn from.
And DeVante Adams Nikoua appeared on The Insiders Tuesday, night
to share how DeVante Adams is already making him a
better receiver.
Speaker 10 (21:14):
It's definitely route running, his ability to change to change
pace while he's moving on the football field, the ability
to win against negative leverage, his suddenness at the line
of scrimmage. It's fantastic to see and be able to
see it in person and be lining up right next
to him.
Speaker 4 (21:29):
It make sure you have all the gas.
Speaker 10 (21:31):
Turned on when you're going out there with number seventeen.
So it's super fun. And yeah, I think when you
watch him win against negative leverage, it gives you confidence.
You start trying new things, you start working different techniques.
His ability to move defenders at all over the football
field is very awesome to see and I can't wait
to see live at action.
Speaker 3 (21:52):
You know who I would think loves the phrase winning
against negative leverage is Dan Campbell. He also loves Jamior Gibbs,
the Lions running back expecting to get the ball more
in the passing game this year as a two time
All Pro running back, telling Way Detroit quote, I'm being
split out like way more than I was the past
two years.
Speaker 2 (22:09):
That's good. That's gonna be fun.
Speaker 3 (22:11):
I've been waiting on that through his two campaigns, Gibbs
caught it combined one hundred and four passes good for
eight hundred and thirty three yards, with five receiving tds. Now,
keep in mind all this will be done without Ben Johnson.
The Commanders are retiring the number eighty one worn by
Pro Football Hall of Famer Art Monk during their Week
nine game against the Seattle Seahawks primetime Monday Night affair
(22:31):
set for November second. The Syracuse Slum won three Super
Bowls in the nation's capital. He caught eight hundred and
eighty eight passes, gained a little over twelve thousand receiving yards,
and snagged sixty five receiving tds, earning a deserved place
in the Pro Football Hall of Fame's All Decade Team
for the nineteen eighties.
Speaker 2 (22:51):
Okay, you know we've been talking about this all morning long, and.
Speaker 3 (22:55):
Here it is this absolute thing of beauty that you
are going to see the Tampa Bay Buccaneers unveil this season,
which is the return of the teams original nineteen seventy
six jersey. It's a revival of their iconic design, worn
by the franchise in its inaugural season.
Speaker 2 (23:13):
The modern edition of.
Speaker 3 (23:14):
The seventy six jersey is a tribute to the team's
original uniform design and its role in shaping the franchise's identity.
The reintroduction of the club's original look celebrates the legacy,
honoring the players and moments and victories that have defined
fifty seasons of Buccaneers football while inspiring generations of fans.
The team will debut the seventy six jersey during its
fiftieth season opener home opener Week three against the New
(23:37):
York Jets. It'll mark the first time in nearly five
decades the Bucks have taken the field in their complete
original nineteen seventy six uniform. And we got our hands
on it. Oh boy, hey, hey, Tampa Bay on the caller,
there with the with the sleeves all the way to
the end, and there it is. This might have to
be what I go trigger treating in this year, because
(23:58):
I did the same with the Rashad White jersey a
couple of years ago.
Speaker 1 (24:00):
Kyle, it's great, I have the full creamsicle Baker.
Speaker 4 (24:03):
A lot of people use the word creams to go.
Speaker 1 (24:05):
I just did to describe the color of the orange
when it was conceived. Was actually an homage to the
citrus in Florida and the oranges they grow down there.
I just also, I'm so happy to see at the
bottom of the screen on the bottom left, if you
kids don't know, that is Bucko Bruce. And there was
a time in the NFL where the mascot on someone's
helmet had a damn knife in his mouth. He is
(24:25):
an absolute savage. I love Bucco Bruce. What do you
guys think to see him again?
Speaker 7 (24:30):
Just loving that pastel orange like that is just clean.
It is not better than a jersey that's not doing
too much. But you look at this jersey, it's just
crisp and clean, and that's nice.
Speaker 4 (24:43):
What size of that, Jamie, it's my size. I'm ok.
I like to go in that jersey closet and pick
me out of jersey. We've got some new additions, you know.
I mean, I gotta all these teams nowadays are coming
out with these throwbacks. Are targets came out with that
on Navy one. Buccaneers got this one.
Speaker 2 (25:00):
No, it's my size, that's it.
Speaker 4 (25:02):
I don't know. I couldn't squeeze that one. No, that's it.
Speaker 3 (25:05):
No, there are no other options that the Bucks Senate.
They say it's Jamie Sisz. Yeah, so yeah, there it is,
and there's Bucko Bruce. My kids say that I have
an old school book and your T shirt.
Speaker 2 (25:15):
They say, does that.
Speaker 3 (25:16):
Man have a sword? Like it's terrifying. I'm like, yes,
and it's awesome. And that's what the youth of America
should learn.
Speaker 4 (25:21):
That's it.
Speaker 2 (25:21):
You're going to see this for the Bucks this upcoming season.
Speaker 9 (25:24):
Well done.
Speaker 2 (25:25):
We opened up the start of.
Speaker 3 (25:26):
The first hour on GMTB talking about the New York
Jets and their expectation coming into the season. Let's broblem
the scope on the AFC East and look at the
Miami Dolphins because Kyle, all of this, for me at
least comes in the context of holding up the cards
that we do before Week one of every NFL season
with our playoff teams on it, and the fact that
you have to consider deeply not only who wins a division,
(25:49):
but if another team.
Speaker 2 (25:50):
Within the division gets there.
Speaker 3 (25:52):
If you ling at about the Dolphins and TUA and
how this team is built with Mike McDaniel at the
Helm Mantai, what do you make of the Dolphins? Are
you considering them a playoff team? Knowing that the Bills
have run the table the last couple of years.
Speaker 4 (26:03):
Well, it's kind of hard to talk about them as
a playoff team because you just don't know how the
season is going to play out. As far as Toula's health, Toua,
There's been a lot of conversations about Tua. People tend
to forget. In twenty twenty three he led the league
in passing yards and that just happened to be the
same year that he played a lot. So if TOULTONGOBOI
look can stay on the field, that Miami Dolphins Dolphins
offense gets very, very scary, not only with Tyreek Hill,
(26:25):
who we talked about earlier in our show, but then
you have a Chan, you have a whole bunch of
other weapons that you could think about for them. Now
there's going to be some sort of transition here for
them with the talent that they lost, But you know,
I guess we'll just kind of have to see. But
as long as Tooltungofoilaw is on the field, good things
happened for the Miami Dolphins. Yeah.
Speaker 3 (26:44):
Absolutely, so you mentioned it, devon a Chan, Tyreek Hill,
Tua and Jalen Right, we got to talk Jalen Right,
running back for.
Speaker 2 (26:51):
The Miami Dolphins.
Speaker 3 (26:52):
He's joining us now on Gmffeed, Jalen, what's going on?
Speaker 4 (26:56):
Another morning?
Speaker 2 (26:57):
Great to see you, Great to see you. Let's get
right into this. Jalen.
Speaker 3 (27:01):
You're spending your time in the off season your Peru
social media and you decide to pin a tweet right
at the top of the list about yourself and say,
they done messed up? What's going on with that? What's
the narrative behind that message that you put forth In
the life of Jalen Right.
Speaker 11 (27:17):
I mean last year when I you know, I got
the call, you know, and the Dolphins you know, took
that chance on me. I mean that was a team
that I wanted to go to, and I feel like
this is a team that you know, I fit the
system most and you know, just you know, God gave
me the ability to do what I could do, and
you know, when I get on that field, you know
my show. So they're gonna they're messed up. They gonna
see you.
Speaker 4 (27:34):
And talk about the team that signs you. They didn't resign,
and this is Miami Dolphins. They didn't resign Raheem Moster
or Jeff Wilson and You've spoken before of Jeff Jeff
Wilson and how he's been a mentor to you. You're
now about to go into this space of man, I'm
excited that I got this job, but I'm also sad
that I'm losing like a big brother, a mentor to me.
How is it? How is that transition going to be
(27:55):
for you? You think heading into this season?
Speaker 11 (27:58):
I mean, you know those guys are you know, you know,
really good guys to me, especially Jeffy, and I looked
up to him, you know, he showed me the way,
you know, just not having them it just makes me
step up more into a leader role in running back room,
you know, on the team, so you know, just meeting
and playing my cards right, you know, just me stepping up,
you know when I need to step up on and
off the field.
Speaker 1 (28:17):
Jayalen, is Tyrek really that fast? Is he still that fast?
Tell us about the state of.
Speaker 11 (28:22):
Tyren Nah, for sure, He's definitely that fast, you know,
Tyrek man, you know, for him to be doing what
he doing at the age, you know, he's a huge competitor,
and you know we always compete all the fastest guys
on team.
Speaker 4 (28:33):
I was compete when we're.
Speaker 6 (28:33):
Doing drills and things. You know, he always want to
be first.
Speaker 11 (28:36):
He's definitely still fast, still has it, you know, and
I'm very excited to see what he's gonna do this shit, Jayalen.
Speaker 7 (28:42):
I got to ask about the mad scientist, the offensive guru,
your coach, Mike McDaniel.
Speaker 6 (28:48):
He's also got the creative play calls.
Speaker 7 (28:50):
Have you been putting in any new plays or new wrinkles.
Speaker 6 (28:52):
His off season that you're excited about? Yeah, Yeah, Mike.
You never know what he's gonna do.
Speaker 11 (28:57):
You never know what kind of plays he's gonna come
with in practice. You know, he sometimes gets he gets bored,
and you know he's switching.
Speaker 6 (29:03):
A lot of things up.
Speaker 11 (29:04):
So you know, just just him, you know, just knowing
what he's doing and you know the things that he does.
Speaker 6 (29:09):
It definitely works.
Speaker 11 (29:10):
He's definitely smart, and he definitely knows how to use
everybody's skill set so that it's gonna be great.
Speaker 3 (29:16):
Jalen, it's always good to be a part of the
football conversation, especially in the offseason where we have a
little bit more wiggle.
Speaker 2 (29:21):
Room to explore our opinions on players.
Speaker 3 (29:24):
Historically, Randy Moss is out here one of the greatest
wide receivers of all time, talking about where Justin Jefferson
ranks and Jamar Chase and now he's saying that Tyreek Kill.
While he may be a top five receiver, he's nowhere
all time. How does that make you feel about even
just the concept of ranking players currently? But what makes
playing with Tyreek Hill special?
Speaker 9 (29:45):
On offense?
Speaker 11 (29:46):
You know, Tyree, he Tyreek draws a lot of attention.
You know where he's that, you know he's going to
draw attention and people got to respect him.
Speaker 6 (29:53):
I definitely feel.
Speaker 11 (29:54):
Like Tyreek can be somebody that's that's that's in the
Hall of Fame. I feel like Tyreek is a great guy,
a great, great receiver, great player. He's hard to handle.
I mean, sweet can't ta So, I mean I kind
of don't agree on that. I feel like something very special.
He already something special, but definitely like he could work
his way to Hall of Fame.
Speaker 4 (30:14):
Jah And you said something earlier, and I want to
follow up on what you said. You said when talking
about Tyreek in your speed that all the fast guys
race each other. First of all, who are those fast
guys on your team? I think we all kind of
generally know who they are, But who are those fast guys?
And if you guys have raced, who's the fastest.
Speaker 11 (30:31):
The fast guys, I'll probably give you it's just a
lot of fast guys.
Speaker 6 (30:35):
We got it.
Speaker 11 (30:35):
I'm putting myself in there, of course, Devon Jenlen Waddell, Tyreek.
We also got this other guy named Ethan Bonner. He's
cornerback's very fast US racing. I mean we have never
really raced like all out. We did like like five
yard verse whatever. You know, Tyree, you know he tried.
He comes in first, you know a lot of times.
I mean I feel like sometimes he cheats the whizzle.
(30:56):
But but you know, you know, we all you know,
we all out there.
Speaker 4 (31:01):
You know he's doing our things.
Speaker 6 (31:02):
So you know it's gonna be exciting this year.
Speaker 7 (31:03):
You know, after the season last year, Tyree went on
social media and kind of vented a little bit. Felt
like he didn't take this season or the off season
as serious as he should have, felt.
Speaker 6 (31:13):
Like the standard wasn't as high as it should have been.
Speaker 7 (31:16):
What changes in this off season as Mike McDaniel may
be made to make sure that the standard is the
standard and that the culture is right going into this next.
Speaker 11 (31:23):
Season, we're really just holding everybody accountable, you know, just
making sure everybody, you know, it was just all together.
Speaker 6 (31:30):
I feel like, you know, we've.
Speaker 11 (31:30):
Been doing a lot of a lot more team by
the activities, you know, to create their brotherhood, you know,
just that's that's what matters, you know, within like the
long season that replaced so everybody got sticked together. So
I mean it's off season, you know, just keeping everybody together,
you know, holding everybody accountable, you know, and just everybody
just being all there.
Speaker 3 (31:46):
Well, we look forward to watching the Dolphins this season
and fighting for their right within the AFC East. Jalen right,
a part of that offensively for the Dolphins. Jalen, awesome
to see you this morning. Stay healthy and we wish
you the best. We'll talk to you the season, all right, yes.
Speaker 6 (31:59):
Man, thank you, thank you.
Speaker 2 (32:01):
Taylor ends up, fins up. Absolutely, we are back on jmtpak.
Speaker 4 (32:18):
Good mon football.
Speaker 7 (32:21):
Kicking the Stigma is our commitment to eradicating and getting
this environment changed.
Speaker 12 (32:29):
The power and platform of the Horseshoe gives us opportunity
to bring visibility to mental health and create conversations that
it's okay to not be okay. We've seen such a
great response across our community when we've created opportunities for
collaboration and conversation by simply meeting people where they are.
It shows us how much progress we can make together
(32:50):
in this space.
Speaker 3 (32:51):
Since launching in twenty twenty, Kicking the Stigma has committed
more than thirty one million to nonprofits and organizations expanding
treatment and research and raising awareness about mental health disorders. Today,
we have the true pleasure of speaking with one of
the people at the helm of this important fight, the
voice that you just heard. Please welcome Indianapolis Colts owner
and chief brand Officer Kaylin Jackson. Good morning, Kaelin, Good
(33:13):
morning Carolyn.
Speaker 2 (33:15):
How are you so Caylin?
Speaker 3 (33:17):
We just saw on your father, Jim Mersay was such
a huge personality and a truly beloved member of the
NFL family and community for decades, and first and foremost,
we're so sorry to hear about his passing and satin
to hear about it.
Speaker 2 (33:31):
Over the past couple.
Speaker 3 (33:31):
Months, you and your sisters have now had to navigate
publicly the road to not only mourning his loss, but
also taking over as co owners of the Colts. What's
this transition been like for you and your sisters.
Speaker 9 (33:42):
Yeah, and thank you for your kind words.
Speaker 12 (33:45):
It's definitely been difficult, as anyone who has lost a
parent would know very well. But he really truly prepared
us for this moment. You know, we hoped it wouldn't
ever be this soon, but he prepared us since the
day we were born. It feels like to be ready
for this opportunity when I'm where it came if we
(34:05):
still wanted to choose this path. And we're so blessed
that he truly gave us so much trust and access
from a very young age to prepare us.
Speaker 9 (34:15):
And what a blessing that was.
Speaker 12 (34:17):
I think we always said that we were sponges.
Speaker 9 (34:21):
In every room we were in.
Speaker 12 (34:22):
We really tried to realize that we had this amazing
opportunity to make a huge impact.
Speaker 9 (34:28):
And I think he was the ultimate girl dad for sure.
Speaker 12 (34:31):
He so proud of the fact that he had three
girls that we're going to be able to make an.
Speaker 9 (34:35):
Impact in the NFL.
Speaker 12 (34:37):
But I think the hardest thing is that, you know,
one of his biggest dreams was to see us all
do this together, and I think realizing that he wouldn't
actually be here to see that dream of his is hard,
for sure, but also very inspiring and makes us want
to make him proud and really continue his legacy.
Speaker 4 (34:55):
Yeah, there really was.
Speaker 1 (34:56):
An outpouring of mourning and emotion when the news happened,
and we certainly felt that here from our perspective in
the media. He it was just so unique and so
interesting and candidly, so fun and everything that came with it.
What do you now hope that your father's legacy will
be not only with the Indianapolis cults, but across the
NFL moving forward.
Speaker 12 (35:18):
Yeah, I mean what big shoes to fill, right? He
was a larger than life, yes, and very perfectly imperfect.
He really represented I think, being human and not being
perfect and what beauty that is and living authentically both
in business and you know, off the field, if he will,
in philanthropy and really using his own story to inspire
(35:40):
others in many ways, and really relating to people.
Speaker 9 (35:42):
He loved people. He loved that part of the business.
And I think, you.
Speaker 12 (35:47):
Know, his dad brought football to Indiana, but he really
solidified it here, you know, by you know, bringing Lucas oil,
bringing a Super Bowl to Indianapolis.
Speaker 9 (35:56):
Those are huge, huge elements.
Speaker 12 (35:57):
And I'll never forget when we won the Super Bowl.
We're all drenched, you know, the rain, and it was
such an amazing moment. And he turned to me and
my sisters and was just us four, and he said,
I want you to remember this moment right now, because
you have no idea how difficult it is to get here,
and you may never have this feeling again, and I
(36:19):
want you to remember this moment. So I think those
types of memories are what I really hold on to
and really wanting to get back up to the top
of that mountain and have that feeling again for him.
But I'm so glad that he had that moment while
he was still with us, because it was such an
important moment to him.
Speaker 4 (36:37):
Caitlen, you talked a little bit about it, like you
talked about the big shoes that you had to feel
during this whole process as you and your sisters kind
of took over for your dad with his not only
being what he meant to the India Indianapolis close, but
to the entire NFL community. Were there any types of
fears or worries between you guys when you had to
(36:58):
face effect that man, we're going to have to take
over this job and follow him.
Speaker 12 (37:02):
Yeah, No, I mean I think he, like I said,
he prepared us so well. I think from a young age,
as I said, it was his dream that we would
do this, but it was.
Speaker 9 (37:09):
Never an expectation.
Speaker 4 (37:11):
You know.
Speaker 12 (37:11):
He really gave us the space to explore but what
we wanted to do in life and if this was,
you know, our passion, truly our passion, and so he
really gave us that space to figure that out. And
we already we knew that this is what we wanted
to do. We just, you know, like I said, hoped
that it wouldn't be this soon.
Speaker 9 (37:28):
It's a bittersweet moment.
Speaker 12 (37:29):
We feel extremely ready for the challenge, but we also
don't take it lightly. You know. I think our whole life,
we've been raised to realize that this is want a
huge opportunity. But my dad always liked to say that
not we're not owners, we're stewards. You know, we really
get this opportunity to guide this and lead a community.
Speaker 9 (37:47):
You know, it's not just about the play on.
Speaker 12 (37:50):
The field, but it's about what we can do in
the community because of that success on the field. And
he really took that seriously and ingreened that in us
and so we feel very ready, but we also don't
you know, take this for granted in any way.
Speaker 6 (38:04):
Kayle. We mentioned a.
Speaker 7 (38:05):
Little bit about kicking the stigma earlier, but could you
share more about the why behind this important cause and
really how it came to be.
Speaker 12 (38:12):
Yeah, so we've always done so much work in the community.
It's definitely something that kind of feels synonymous with our horseshoe.
It's something that really is a huge part of our brand,
is showing up where there's need. And we kind of
thought back and twenty nineteen actually before COVID hit, and
we had said, you know, what would be something that
would be our family's passion if we were to pick something.
(38:32):
And because of our you know, such close relationship with
mental health struggles, you know, my dad's very public struggle
with substance use disorder. I think for a long time
we didn't even realize we were subconsciously not talking about
this topic because of that.
Speaker 9 (38:48):
And I think it is.
Speaker 12 (38:49):
Because of the stigma piece, and that's a huge part
of why people don't speak about their struggles, get help
for their struggles, even look into resources, or even maybe
even donate to organizations because of that stigma and when
we looked into the numbers in twenty nineteen for the
state of Indiana, they were horrible, I mean the worst
and all the things you don't want the worst in suicide, depression, anxiety,
(39:12):
you name it. And it was this moment of it
really was kind of upsetting, like this area that was
so personal to us, we had subconsciously avoided and so
stepping into that space was such an inspiring moment for me,
my dad, our whole family to really own our story.
Speaker 4 (39:30):
Thing.
Speaker 12 (39:30):
For a long time, our story was told about us,
and this was the first time we were telling it
for ourselves and what power there is in.
Speaker 9 (39:37):
That and then kind of took off on its own
and became, you.
Speaker 12 (39:41):
Know, really really bigger than we ever expected. And I
think it's because that need is there and that feeling
of loneliness and isolation when you have these issues is
so strong and you feel such guilt for it because
that's kind of how it's been portrayed in our culture.
So we're really trying to not only showcase the resources
(40:02):
that there are, but really fund the amazing organizations that
already are in existence, and really China light on this
area that's been in the dark for so long, and
you guys have always been so supportive of us from
the very beginning. I've been on here multiple times talking
about kicking the stigma. It's just so so kind of
you and anyone who can shine a light on it.
Speaker 9 (40:21):
It truly truly does help.
Speaker 12 (40:23):
Even just speaking about it for five minutes right now,
you have no idea who could be listening and realizing
that having a.
Speaker 9 (40:29):
Group of us talk about this is a really big deal.
Speaker 4 (40:32):
Kaly, And it's just been incredible the positive work that
has been achieved in just five years. It hasn't gone unnoticed.
Yesterday you attended the eleventh Annual Sports Humanitarian Awards as
part of the SP's week to accept a very prestigious
award on behalf of the coach. Can you tell us
more about that.
Speaker 9 (40:48):
Yes, it was such a wonderful night.
Speaker 12 (40:50):
We've been nominated the last two years and tonight last
night we won, and so it was such a such
a medieul night. It was a really really incredible and
Pat McFee was there to present it to us, which
is extra special for us. So we are just so
honored and big thank you to Yesdn.
Speaker 3 (41:06):
I Bet and you deserve to be celebrated for all
the work that you have done this entire time. Klan,
such a pleasure to talk to you this morning. Thank
you also for always making time for us to make
sure that people understand this message that is ever so
close to you and your family's hearts and the Colts
and you are making it important.
Speaker 2 (41:21):
To the rest of the NFL.
Speaker 3 (41:22):
Make sure to catch the SPS tonight at eight pm
Eastern on ABC, and for more on Kicking the Stigma,
go ahead and visit the Kickingthistigma.

Speaker 9 (41:33):
Thank ye, thank you.
Speaker 2 (41:35):
Oh that's so sweet.
Speaker 3 (41:38):
It feels specifically important to know that we are just
fifty days away from watching live action regular season football.
Speaker 2 (41:44):
Oh my, look at that.
Speaker 3 (41:46):
Go Thursday, September fourth will be the kickoff game in Philadelphia.
You'll see the Eagles take on the Cowboys and then
it's roll the ball out and play for the next
eighteen weeks. And Kyle, I know you have a gifted
T shirt there that is really making you fired up today,
like many have that poster and you have this hawked
angry runs cam Skataboo shirt.
Speaker 1 (42:07):
That's right, you know, it's like you know they get
the real concert shirt, and then there's guys in the
parking lot selling the fake ones for half the price.
That's this one, Cabinda. You're worth every penny. We love
you man, thanks for coming by.
Speaker 6 (42:18):
