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

Good Morning Football, My goodness, Well inside our show it's called Good Morning Football presented by Old Trapper Beef Jerky. We're live in La by we I mean Mantiteo, Alkwarbajiaviivilla and myself, Kyle Brant and Peter Schraeger are back in New York. It is the NFL Coast to Coast Week six began last night on Thursday Night Football. Kyle did us all a favor last hour when he said that when we pick our score for the most anticipated game of the weekend, and by that I mean Raven's Commanders, that not only did he have his core prepared last hour, he said it was gonna be a blowout.

Well, guess what, Kyle, time has come up on that.

You are due for your homework assignment. You must give it now. But first we'll talk about the game. It's the four on one Commanders. Before we give our predictions heading to Baltimore to take on the Ravens in.

The Battle of the Beltway.

All eyes are going to be on Jaden Daniels and Lamar Jackson. Let's hear first from both quarterbacks on the comparisons made about two quarterbacks of these teams, their star and their star power and their.

Apponts goes back some time. It's kind of like a big bro little bro type of thing, but it's mutual respect. I think it's go out there and just appreciate each individual for who they are. So I don't like when people really like try to compare me to Lamar and vice versa. You know, we're two different players, and just go out there and just you know, just appreciate what's the quarterback players being played. So that's what I try to do, is just appreciate everybody for who they are.

I agree, you know, he's his own player, he's his own man. At the end of the day, were trying to make a name by ourself, not anyone else.

So I agree with that.

I've been catching glimpses of his play on social media and stuff like that, and he's going off, you know, when we've seen the college, we got him to the Hosbital.

You know, there's things on social media where they're like which chicken wing would you eat?

And there's like nine different options.

Chicken wing looks like this is the mediest one this game.

There is so much meat on this.

Bone, barbecue sauz about.

Like pick your flavor, pick your I don't know if you're a wing guy or.

It doesn't matter.

There's so much to two on, Peter, where's your first bite.

Let's go to Jimmy's seafood and pick a crab cake versus maybe what would be a lobster tail.

And those are the quarterbacks right now, and.

We're talking about it right there off the chesnut Peak, and both of these quarterbacks make me so excited to watch football. It's actually beautiful that we're going into this game and both these teams are coming in hot, but both these quarterbacks are.

Playing maybe the best football they've.

Ever played through five games.

Lamar Jackson has never started a season like this, and he's already got two MVPs behind.

Him Jaden Daniels.

No rookie quarterback ever has been this good out of the gates ever, even CJ. Stroud was two and three after five games last year. You're talking about historic stuff. And it is at one o'clock in early afternoon with both of these fan bases able to get to the game.

I love Lamar. I love Lamar.

They says, you know, I've been watching his stuff on social media, like a lot of quarterbacks be like, I've been stuck in the film room. I haven't had a chance to scrolled on his phone.

And he's like, yeah, like this guy's really good.

I don't play against him. I play against him. I play against the defense.

And I'm looking at Bobby Wagner footinge He's like, I'm scrolling my phone like I'm nothing to hide.

I love the quarterback matchup.

This sounds so simple, and maybe it's not the most in depth analysis from someone who talks to people at both sides, but like, I think both of these quarterbacks are playing better than any other quarterbacks in the NFL right now, and that includes Stroud and Darnold and of course myhomes and Kansas City. I think you have the two best quarterbacks in the league at this moment, and they're going at it versus each other, and I expect a lot of points will save the predictions for the score at the end, but I do expect this a big offensive shootout and just Candy, Candy, get your popcorn ready, an absolute blast in the early afternoon on Sunday.

Okay, so we're talking food here. I got hungry. You guys know I'm a foodie. I love food. I'm thinking steakhouse, all right, and I'm thinking just the meat and potato of football. Meat and potato. Football starts with the run game. Yes, I think this is going to be a magnificent game for Derrick Henry. I'm talking about sirloin steak. I'm talking about that twenty two ounces of just raw steak. Well, I don't eat it raw. I like my medium well, but I think that's exactly what. Don't judge my medium well, I love medium, I love about medium. Well, but that's what I think Derek Henry is going to do. Because this defense scares me for the Commanders as far as where they place in their ability to stop the run. I think there was a lot of concern about the age of Dereck Henry. I think that's all been a race. Now we see that the big guy can run, so I think I want to look at this game. That's going to be the biggest issue for the Commanders.

I said this yesterday, I said it today, and there's this debate between the quarterbacks. I'm gonna say it again. The Ravens defense going again, Jaden Daniels is what I'm going to be watching all day long. That's going to be that matchup for me. So much so that I called Rowan Smith yesterday and he and I were talking and I text him, I didn't call him, and I said, what do you think about this game?

Bro? What's your approach to it? He's like, honestly, Bro.

One thing that Jadon Daniels and that Washington Commander's offense does very very well is they forced miss tackles and that's a place for our defense that we feel we're really good at. We're really good at tackling. Now you're going to have to tackle Jadon Daniels in open space. And me knowing Rokwan Smith and his confidence and the way that he played this game, he's very confident going into this week. He also said that Jaden Daniels hasn't faced a defense like ours. Jaden Daniels hasn't seen a front like ours. A Kyle van noy A Kyle Hamilton, Marcus Williams, a Roqwan Smith. He's not going to be used to seeing a defense that's going to show you a certain look and then when the boss naps we just morphl like transforms into.

A totally different look.

He has to be able to read defenses on the fly, and so I'm really looking forward to watching Jade and Daniels and his progression against this Ravens defense and how does he handle all of the different looks that he's going to see, all of the different disguises that he's going to see, and how does he have that success there. So I'm a little opposite where I don't think it's going to be a lot of points on the board. I think it's going to be one of those games where the defense is going to rise up. The Ravens are going to show their experience in these big games, and we're going to have to see how Jaden Daniels is going to respond.

I can't wait to see what your score is going to be. No doubt we will see it shortly. We're getting to know Jade and Daniels on the fly. We're also getting to know each other as a cast on the fly. I just learned this segment that Acbar likes his stakes turned into charcoal briquettes.

That's not FDA tire.

Yeah, just put a good year on there and smear some butter and try to cut into it with a Hacksaw medium plus. First of all, agbar, do you know that that is a myth? Like there is no medium? Well, there is no medium plus. It's rare medium, rare medium and well done. When you say that other nonsense the way like a medium medium, I'm sure the chefs just like just give them a medium. I'm telling you you're going to be kicked out of the steakhouses now for that medium.

What is it medium?

Well, I don't want to see blood.

I went it ground, I get it it.

Just I don't want to sorry, just there's no medium. Well is a myth?

All right, you're talking about commanders in the Ravens misca.

It's cooked real nice on it, Peter.

I'm on the side of the garlic mash. That's the running game for the commanders. I'm intoxicated. Another steakhouse reference. By the stakes of this game. I mean, and we've talked with this a lot that the Jayden Daniels has been a sensation in There're four and one. It's just it's really under the radar by NFL magnitudes. It really is, because of the time slots, because of the no prime time. I think this is the one that is the catapult into the stratosphere, even if it's a one o'clock kickoff. I think if you go to Baltimore and you win this game, I think then it's like then the coill start coming.

Then it's like then I'm not even joking.

Like Trump and Kamala are asked about Jayden Daniels, like especially in Washington, like it is becoming more than just where this football show. Then they're talking about it on the non football shows. He goes to Superstar next Mahome stuff. If he wins this game and plays well, it's not just another game. If Lamar does this thing, he's already Lamar, then it's real MVP talk, real Superstar talk, Wheatie's box, Gatorade, butterwise or all that stuff. It's stratosphere. But he's got to win this game, and I have thoughts on that.

Shortly, So, the crew that.

Did Vikings Jets on Sunday in London, we went out to a great Friday night steak dinner in London and they had a beef board. They brought it to your table, Kylos is right now like it elly ok? They brought this thing to the table and it was just all the slabs of meat like not cooked yet. It was like, this is from this part of the cout. This one has been marinated, this one has been dry aged, and this.

One has been whatever, like all the different kinds. It was such a beautiful board of meat. I was so thrilled about it.

The one I got had been marinated in olive oil and all these herbs for like five days. It was it was like it was delicious. This is how I feel about the Washington commanders. They have a marinating nice time. Okay, it looks great on the board, but man, when you put it out there in primetime and it gets delivered to the play and to the table, what's it gonna taste?

Like?

What are we gonna see? And this isn't even primetime. That was one o'clock on CBS.

But it's the jim nantz treatment, it's the CBS music. You are still a rookie in this league. We waited a long time last year for c. J. Stroud, and frankly, we never really saw from him to have his rookie moment or his rookie hiccup or string two bad games together.

It never happened.

Jane Daniels could be doing this to us again this year for the commanders, but Washington has been marinating for their time to shine and be brought to the table as their plate is sizzling. And here's the piece of steak delivered right to your party of five. Okay, do scores? Do predictions? All right?

Yes?

Yeah, okay.

It's been a lot of hype, a lot of talk, a lot of talk. Manti, you have to go first, cool, I just we just went with that, Manti, your prediction first, please, we'll go, Manti offer Peter Kyle, and then I'll go before Kyle.

Kyle goes last.

So my prediction, I'm gonna say, I'm going to go.

With the Ravens.

The score, though, okay, is going to be thirty five twenty seven Ravens.

That's that's my score.

Okay, okay, five right out of offense. Okay, thirty five seven. I'm nexty Okay. You guys know sometimes I have the tendency to go off script here, so I'm gonna do my own thing real quick. I have two predictions. First prediction is if the Washington Commanders win this, Jaydeen Daniels will jump into the presidential electional race and become the next president of the United States. That's how big that.

What side of the aisle?

Okay, writting that down that one?

I don't know.

I think he might go as an independent.

Right down the list.

Okay, all right, So here's the prediction is I believe that Jayden and Daniels will become the next president of the United States because I've got the Washington Commanders winning this game thirty four to thirty one, and you're going to see Marlin Humphrey get attacked by Jayde Daniels. I know Ian Rappaport talked about that bum d Ankle go after him, Jayden, go after him.

Nice, Peter, you're up p strikes.

First off, an announcement for our show in our little NFL media world, I want to say happy birthday to Chad Steele. Pr guy from Birthday, Yes he does. Friend of the Show, good Man. Does Chad Steel get a birthday win for his Ravens? Is he going to be on the field with Lamar afterwards? In the postgame interview with Tracy Wolfson, the answer is yes. I've got the Ravens winning this game thirty eight to thirty five. The Ravens outlast Jayden Daniels, who put seven touchdowns on the board. I'm sorry, five touchdowns.

On the board, but it's not enough.

A Justin Tucker field goal as time expires.

Ravens win.

But we all leave this game being like, Holy Moley, this Jayden Daniels is for real.

I'm so glad. Thirty eight thirty five.

Kyle said to start the show that he was picked a blowout, but he wouldn't tell us who the blowout that was in favor of. I'm going to stick in the close score, and I'm going to say that this game is so unique from a viewership perspective. I went to the score of Gommi Grid, the NFL score a Gomi Grid, and I want it. It's the it's unique scores, it's you because you're right here. It's scores that have never existed in NFL history. So I wanted to find something so one of a kind because I think that's what this game is going to be.

I go Baltimore.

Ravens forty Washington Commanders thirty six, forty to six.

Baltimore wins close game. We're all hanging in this. We want a shootout.

Offensively, and then Kyle Brandt is about to drop the thor himmer on all of us and say it's going to be a blowout, but in the favor.

Of which team, Well, it's listen. I have seen this a long time.

I've seen some great, great rookie quarterbacks who seem like they're taking over the league. I saw one last year. The league doesn't like to be taken over. The sport doesn't like to be mastered this young. The sport has a way of saying, hold on there, buddy, we got a bright future ahead. But pump the damn breaks, especially when you go on the road, especially when you go someplace that good, especially when you're going against another quarterback who has come close to mastering the sport as well.

With two MVPs, that's what the league does.

I think the score will be thirty one to thirteen in favor of the Washington Command.

Not today, Not today. This guy is gonna do it. I believe in Jaden. Baltimore is a great team.

They're going to the playoffs. I think Jayden is the difference. I think he's the exception. I think is the anomaly. We're talking about how we prepare stakes medium.

Well, personally, I like my stake.

Dehydrated and put in a bag by old trapper, And that is exactly what Jadon Daniels I think is going to do to Baltimore and this day thirty one to thirteen Washington.

Okay, okay, I see Kyle, I see you.

I thought I was going to be the loan I thought you command.

I thought I was going to be the lone guy here. I said, I'm going to be the lone ranger here.

All right, Hey, Jamie, this is where we need one of those graphics put our favorite in the score.

Context. We're big funt man. Actually, you know what, I don't give a damn it to me?

Who cares? Go ahead?

Do it?

All right, Ian Rappaport.

Now that we have put that all into the universe and cemented it for good, update us and what we're looking at as we head into this weekend.

Ochbar and I have been friends for a long time.

Oh, Steak, you knowed each other well.

He did a special appearance for my son Jude's birthday party, which was really special.

To my family.

One time he scooped to be on annamdi Asama scoop. Akbar is a great guy. Don't go to steakhouses, dude, don't don't waste your money. Don't go to steakhous. If you're going to order a steak well done, just don't go. I will make you a hockey puck and give it to you on a plate rather than you pay eighty dollars for a file that like, you can't cut into.

That's not a steak.

You're missing the.

Best part of it. Don't eat it. Get a burger well.

They have great fish and steak us.

Yes, no, no, no, the.

Best part of the delicious meat that you get to taste. This is not something that's debatable. If you get it well done, you're just not getting a steak that you can taste.

Don't get it.

I will guarantee they've got great statement. Of the guys in the NFL who play the game here, I'm telling you now, seventy percent of them eat it just like me. That's true.

That's media.

I hope they're listening to me right now. I hope everyone is watching me. Tell them, don't go to steakhouses anymore. Don't go to Capitol Grill and spend eighty dollars on the filet.

Yeah, wasting money anyway.

All right, let's get to the injuries, since Acbar clearly can't be saved anyway. The Philadelphia Eagles look like they are going to be at full strength this week. They're coming off of buas many week, gowing a steakhouses and ordering real steaks like regular humans. Aj Brown, their standout receiver. He has back at practice. You've been dealing with the hamsterring injury for the course of the last several weeks, been out actually since before Week two, that's how long they've been banged up. He was a full participant in practice this week. That is indication that he will likely be on the field. Similar situation for Devonte Smith, their other star receiver. He's been dealing with a concussion. Use the buye to get better. Back at practice, full participation at practice. Both of these guys seem like they are tracking to play. So is Anthony Richardson, the Indianapolis Colt starting quarterback, who took a seat last week dealing with hippo obleaque injuries and watched Joe Flacco do the Joe Flacco thing and just absolutely light it up. It does not seem like that is going to be the case this week. The Colts have said that he is their starter when he is healthy, full participant in practice, that is is an indication that he is.

Going to go.

And then another team coming off to buy, the Los Angeles Chargers. Justin Herbert, of course, dealing with a high ankle sprain a couple of games before then through the buy, he said his ankle is feeling a lot better, still limited to practice, but does seem like he is going to be closer to one hundred percent of this All right.

Rep sheet, We appreciate you as we look ahead to this weekend. It don't kill yourself that comes out of the steak.

It's not blood.

Don't kill your stick.

It's no, don't kill you, don't don't. It's when they cook it. It's like a liquid that's released from the muscle that's in the steak.

It's not blood.

Yeah, just like to just to reconsider how to cook your state.

That's all. Keep your mind. You know, when we stand at.

The top one hundred survey, we should ask all the guys how they cook their stakes. Coming up on GMFB, Adam Ranked coming to the set to talk fantasy lineups for Week six sleepers.

Who you should start?

Sit.

It says, who do you have a sleeping Adam? He's not here. I can't ask it. We'll have to ask. We have to him on the show, Kyle. That's how we're Oh what's up?

Rank?

Yeah, you are here, clar Is And there's Stacey Dale's in London.

Well we're not showing it now but we will shortly.

It's Bears Panthers in London rather Bears Jaguars. There's Caleb, there's Trevor. They both won last week. They're both headed overseas. Who you got in this game? Stacey Dale's is in the United Kingdom. Give us all the insight, all the info. It's what we do here on GMFP, especially on a Friday.

Good Morning Football. Hey, we're back on JMTB.

We are in the midst of the London Games, the international series for the NFL. That is one of the many sights and sounds you will hear if you were attending the game as a fan, or if you are London born and.

You are curious about the NFL. That's what you can check out.

You can also see Stacy Diale's roaming around because she's covering both teams this weekend ahead of.

The game on Sunday.

Stacy, please, how are you and get us up to speed on both SAMs please.

I'm great.

I enjoyed your last segment that was very entertaining discussing steak and meat. Good job by you guys. There's lots of steak and meat here. There's lots of great food here, as you know, Jamie, you were just here. But good news for Jags fans. Their Jacksonville squad has landed there here and went about a quick warm up, so they got a little bit loose earlier today going through a walkthrough and certainly going through some meetings tonight after their delay due to the hurricane. The Chicago Bears putting their final touches on their preparation practice has wrapped up. I just spoke with a number of players. You guys are going to see Cole Komet coming up here shortly on the program. We had an incredible conversation about the rookie quarterback Caleb Williams. I also spoke with his counterpart, tight end Marcedes Lewis, who you guys know has been in this league for nineteen seasons. Why do you have Marcedes on your team? Because he is a man of knowledge. He is a man of conviction, and he's been around everything, He's seen everything. He's had many coaches throughout his career. And one story I'll quickly tell you is that this team offensively. You guys know, after that Indianapolis game in Week three, they were really sputtering. Caleb Williams was leading the league in passing attempts, which for a rookie quarterback is really hard to do. So Marcedes, as he explained it to me, and I'm going to share this on Sunday if I can get in. During the game, he went to Mattiberfluss, directly to the head coach, and he said to him, you guys got to coach us. I've been in this league for nineteen years. We need to be coached regardless of you know your tenure, whether you're a rookie or you're a guy like a veteran guy like myself. Well then flu said, hey, bring the rest of the captains offensively. So you're looking at DJ Moore, cool comet, Caleb Williams the quarterback, and Marcedes. They all joined with coach Fluse and they told them, you got a coach us, we need more. And so he then said, you guys got to go to the offensive quarter. Nina, now in Shane Waldron and you got to talk to him. What a productive conversation that was for both sides. They were both accepting there was a lot of accountability in that meeting. And one of the things missing, and this was most interesting, is Lewis explained it to me. They didn't have a first fifteen. If you're a viewer, what is the first fifteen? Those are scripts that when you start a game, you're able to get in a rhythm.

Jamie.

We were just with the Vikings. They call it their priority call sheet. Shane Waldron wasn't using a first fifteen, so Marcedes said that would be one suggestion. They went to it, and the Rams happened. And now the Carolina Panthers, we've seen that passer rating creep up, we've seen a run game, and we've seen a much better performance of from the offensive line. And so just that little tweak alone with the captain's meeting with Shane Waldron, the offensive coordinator, a really galvanizing moment and they're on the uptick offensive late. Wait till you hear the conversation that I had with Cole comet. He will tell you all about the rookies progress in terms of Caleb Williams.

Great stuff here with the Bears.

Excellent stuff, Stacy, truly that.

I mean we all know it.

If you go into your job and you're kind of prepared, you'll do fine.

But if you make a plan and.

You have preparation, it goes a little better each time out. So Stacey Dale's we really appreciate that insight.

That's really cool.

We'll talk to Stacey in a little bit time for Mad Minute Part two. You may have thrown something at the TV because we missed your game the first time around.

Don't worry. We got you all right. Mad Minute Part two.

We're gonna stay in London. Jags take it on the Bears. Peter can Caleb Williams make it three wins in a row. And I'm curious what you think about this first fifteen execution.

I love this and I do think they can make it three in a row. And I cannot wait to see Stacy and I believe Steve Weish on the broadcast working those sidelines. They're both going to be great. The Chicago Bears have had a parade out there in London, Peanut Tillman came on yesterday, had a fan event hoal. Jacksonville was dealing with flight delays and they've got to be there for two weeks, and I feel like that's a whole deal that's not being talked about enough. Chicago settled nice. I like Caleb to get another win here against Jacksonville. Well, Jacksonville is kind of figuring things out on the fly.

Caleb is getting comfortable and it's getting scary. It's looking nice over there in Chicago, but that Bears defense is plus five in a turnover margin. They take the ball away to the number three ranked defense and taking the ball away, so it's looking good in Chicago.

Yeah. We got to give credit though too to DeAndre as well. DeAndre Swift has been outstanding the last couple of weeks, so I can't wait to see what he does. And then on the defensive side, that defense for the Chicago Bears, they're going to devour Trevor Lawrence.

Devour Listen. This is two number one overall picks going against each other. Trevor Lawrence has played a number one overall pick five times. He is bot and five as a starter. But I just saw an updated Bears injury list is not pretty. There's a lot of guys in the secondary banged up, so maybe Lawrence has if they will get more information on that, but I don't like what I saw there.

Oh, I do not like that, Kyle, thanks for telling us.

Next up, the Steelers looking to get back in the win column.

Mansi.

There's some stuff going on with the quarterback and the backup quarterback. We're not sure emotionally what that does to a team, but can they get the job done against the Raiders?

Yeah, Jamie, there's also stuff going on opposite of TJ.

Watt.

You know, you have Nick Krbig out, Alex Heismith's out, so how is that going to impact TJ.

Watt?

And I'm looking forward to that guy just continue to dominate, but it's gonna be a little bit more challenging with nobody on the other side.

You know, this is gonna be pretty cool for the Raiders to really kind of rejuvenate what's going on over there, Like they had a lot of hope coming in with the you know, obviously with ap as the head coach. You know, they're out without Christian Wilkins right now. But Aidan O'Connell's taking over. Maybe his play can bring Davante Adams back, Maybe, just maybe.

It would be wild. I'm gonna, I'm gonna, Peter, I'm gonna put you on the spot right now. Are you ready?

Let's see what kind of quick draw you can do. The Pittsburgh Steelers despite a three and two record, they have three wins. They have one player who has rushed for a touchdown this year in five games.

You know who that player is? Is it Friar Mooth? I am I gonna hand off justin Fields.

He's the only Steeler to rush for a touchdown, which seems flawed.

And it seems the Woods in their offense right now, we have to get things going. You have no time for you, sorry.

Real quick.

Pickin's talking at his locker. I didn't like any of the way that that went down. It seems like there's already issues in Pittsburgh. Are they going to be a team that's a buyer? Are they looking at DeVante Adams? Are they looking at someone else? Pittsburgh's not going to win the AFC North with what they've got in house right now. It's not going the right way. Let's see if they Mayke a move.

Unfortunately, the same kind of little discomfort is happening in Cleveland as we shift our focus to the Browns and the Eagles.

It's just weird stuff going on with Deshaun Watson's.

Play and what the Browns do with that position moving forward. Eagles, we forgot about them. They're coming off a bye week, off bar. How do you devour this one?

No disrespect, not trying to be disrespectful, but this is kind of like the perfect game to come out of a bye kind of get back, get fine tuned, get going again. AJ Brown, Devant excuse me, DeVonta Smith, those guys that they're coming back into the fold. It's a perfect game to kind of warm up to it. I'm not gonna mention the Cleland Browns because they ain't playing ball right now.

Well I'm riveted by it though, because the unbeneable dynamic of Watson, I'm not no matter how matter how bad he plays, he's still going to go out there. You know what's weird is that he doesn't throw many interceptions. Three of his last four games he doesn't even have a pick, and it's still been that bad. If he's shaky and they're going to go to one in five. Can they possibly pull in the middle of the game. I guess not, because they haven't done so far.

They haven't told him yet. It's very odd. I mean, I cover this league. I know Ian and Mike and Tom, they cover it day to day. And you talk to people in Cleveland, They're like, well, we're a couple bounds away from being four and one or three and two.

Like this.

It's not Deshaun's fault, it's everyone seems to be in denial. And I just you're watching it objectively. It doesn't look like de Shaun Watson's playing good football. But let's see if he comes to gets to win here, maybe we're all wrong. Hey, everybody, this is New York City and we have a very special guest in our studio today.

We have long been a fan of this guy.

And he announced his retirement on our show, and we are so happy to make some more announcements today on the show, Ladies and gentlemen, mister Carl now Carl.

Friday, always man.

We'll talk a minute about the games and some of the stuff that you're doing off the field, but we did want to take a minute to talk about National Coming Out Day and how the NFL has played a role with you of course, but also with the Trevor Project.

And you're here to make an announcement. What do you got.

Yeah, So I'm happy to announce that the NFL is continuing their support by making a one hundred thousand dollars donation to the Trevor Project. So, for those who don't know, young LGBTQ people are actually, you know, four times more likely to harm themselves, and so the Trevor Project provides life saving support to these kids. And so this one hundred thousand dollars is going directly to that organization to continue that work. So huge, huge, thank you in the NFL. Thank you guys for having me on HERR you know, promoting this. This is a really positive stuff.

It's really positive stuff. Yeah, you're always great talking about it too.

Thanks for sure.

They just really we have a lot of football to talk about and you're chopping at the bit.

But first raise are ay ze educate the people?

Would?

Yeah? Raise?

So raises my baby. It's my company and we help everyday people. We help businesses connect with nonprofits that they care about. And what's really exciting is that We've partnered with My Cause My Cleats this year, which is sick. It's an amazing initiative that the NFL has been promoting for years. It highlights one of our cool features called Raised Champions that we designed for marathon runners who need to raise money directly for their races. But now we've partnered with the NFL might Cause My Cleats that the players who get their custom cleats or raise awareness for all these amazing organizations can now turn that awareness into funds for their nonprofits. So I'm really happy for this opportunity. It's pretty sick.

Yeah, I feel like I always get emails from someone like I'm running the marathon and I'm doing it for this cause. So somehow you guys are involved with.

That, yeah, exactly.

And usually like when you try and like help out that person, the experience is really crappy. But with us, it's super simple. It's you know, two clicks to get involved. And it's weird because you just, like you guys said earlier a year ago, I was on the show announcing my retirement, and you know, fast forward a year it's you know, I remember getting my contract with Vegas and seeing my name on an NFL contract, and then you know fast forwards here now seeing my name and my company on another AFL contract's pretty sick.

Yeah, you know what's weird for us around here?

Peter and I have spent in Everybody in LA spent the whole week talking about the Washington Commanders like that's their first time in a decade. Washington Commander's talk. Massive game this week in Commander's Ravens.

You into it? What do you like?

I can't root for the Commanders. I well, I grew up a Eagles fan. I can't room for anybody else in the nfcas but I'm a huge Lamar Jackson fan. That dude, I could have had like ten sacks against that guy. He has made me look stupid many times. I do not miss playing against those guys like that. But it's going to be a great game. I saw you guys talking about it earlier. I'm excited to watch it.

But I got I.

Think that's you mentioned the Raiders.

You played for the Raiders, and there is a defensive lineman there named Max Crosby. Everyone loves Crosby. We see the quotes in the locker room, we see all that stuff. Give us a good Crosby story.

You guy, Yeah, I mean as a former branded you know, try hard white guy. I'm not going to comment on his love for the game or his motor comment on that.

Max has Max early to the gym and.

The guy, the guy's got you know, great love for the game. But I'm not he's got speed, he's got strength, and he's got skills. I've seen a lot of players coming to the league with you know, speed and strength, but they can't convert it. The dude, you know who, he'll runway pass you will run through it. But then he's got great in and out, great spin. So it's cool to see him because he's such a great guy. He's got a great story, and I just you know, love seeing him continuing that.

The tattoos are wild, Like when he adds those tattooshere's the come in the locker room when he got every single professional athlete on it.

Boy does he I'm not kept up with his tattoos. I love, I don't have Oh nice, he's just constantly yeah, staying motivated.

Are you a tattoo man, Carl, I am not. That makes no.

You don't put uh stickers on a Ferrari.

Use that, but didn't Max also play a role in ushering you forward out of the NFL.

I don't I don't know if I'm I don't know if I'm bragging on or complaining right now. But everywhere I've gone in the league, I just keep you know, attracting all pro d ms that just you know, helped me see my way out of the organization. I get drafted third round of the Browns. Here comes Miles Garrett character next year, See you, Carl, I know you were funny, but see you later, funny. Then I go to the Bucks, become captain. Then Shack has like twenty eight sacks in one year, all pro.

See you later, Carl.

Yeah, it felt like it felt like it felt like twenty eight sacks. I'll be like, I'll be just about to get there. Then Shack would take it, and then you know, I sign a great deal in Vegas and then Max, you know, pops off like no other. So I don't know if I should become a coach or something, because all I do is attract gone. Yeah, or maybe they're just motivated.

Put those put those three guys in an octagon as Shack.

And Miles, and I would pay a lot of money. I'm just coming out there. I'm not going to.

Out of for real.

It's like Crosby the Beast.

But Miles, yes, yeah, Shack's old like me, so Miles with Miles Yeah, yeah for sure.

Good one of our favorite from Hard Knocks and then had a great NFL career and now doing so much off the field and really using your platform for a great cosey.

So appreciate you coming in, Carl.

Thank you very much.

Guys, I appreciate it. Raise that's the man right there. Awesome morgand Morning Football.

After this, we're going to have all of your updates for all of your fantasy teams. As Adam Rank is going to join Jamar Chase, you better be starting him.

But who else do you want to put on in your lineup? Carl is shredded by the way. He just wants to talk about it. He looks so much better than us.

Good Money Football, welcome back to you, Good Morning Football. The Jets picking things up on the coaching staff this week to try to get the offense back on track, but things are getting more complicated on the defensive side of the ball when it comes to hold out linebacker Hassan Reddick. NFL Network insider Ian Rappaport and Mike Gerfalo, both reporting Reddick's representation CIA parted ways with him.

He continues his holdout.

The agencies tried to get a deal done with the Jets while Reddick dug in, leading to a breakup over philosophical differences.

Meantime, safety Curry Joseph.

In the lines getting said to take on the Cowboys on Sunday. As we all know, Detroit came up one game shy of reaching the super Bowl last season. Joseph told Cam Jordan on his Off the Edge podcast, anything short of a Lombardi Trophy this season, it's a disappointment.

If you don't make to the super Bowl. Would you be like, what more could you do?

What more could you ask for?

Yeah?

Definitely, definitely. We don't make it to the super Bowl, Like I feel like we fail. Okay, that's the highest you can go. There's nothing beyond that. You don't put in the blood and sweat and tears, all through ot is, all through training camp, just to make it to NFC Championship. You know what I'm saying, Like you putting all that work in to make it to the Super Bowl. And win the Super Bowl, not just win, not just playing it.

But win it.

Those are two electric personalities in the NFL on one podcast.

You always love that. Speaking of electric.

Personalities, Adam Rank, Hello, we're joining us, the fantasy experts in the house.

US wanted to make you feel at home coming back to here. Sit here with the world's greatest, second greatest fantasy detective.

Fantasy detective, fantasy detective.

Okay, bar bar wasn't going to put that together.

Yeah, I don't know if he still knows.

He just found out the rhyme had blood in it, Sir, blood like the Wars of Scotland.

No.

I George kill last night was out there.

He was.

It was fantastic.

I was going up against the greatest, the greatest detective.

In the city of Huntington Beach, Captain.

Scott Winks, and he was like our George Kittle, He's beating me and he's destroying me. We didn't get enough Jordan Mason, but George Kittle went out there with a pair of touchstats and looked fantastic. Jordan Mason battling an injury, and Isaac Grendal came in and rushed for nearly one hundred yards.

I it was a it was a tough game.

Who could have seen that coming? Me?

Man, TI, are you going in and out of accent bottom.

Bottomn It's a Hodgepodge. It's a full service industry.

As is all right, turning the rest of week six, you're on the case looking for a good wide receiver this week.

Who do you have? Good sir?

Ah? Keenan Allen. Ah, there's a guy that's gonna come through this weekend. Over on the sixth podcast with Adam Raank, I heard that guy's wonderful by the way. He had Tyler Scott and Roma Donze on this week, and they both insisted that it was going to be a Keenan Allen breakout game. The guy has never waived in his determination of going out there for the Chicago Bears, and this week he's going to go out there and have a monster game, like the Monsters of the Midway, like the monster of locke Ness. He will go out there and deliver across the pond.

I don't want to do an accident because I will watch it. I am enjoying this thoroughly. Give me a quarterback who has not been really living up to expectations that you think could bring it today.

I wish I could have heard a word you said, sir Joe.

Oh that the Green Bay Packers man who is setting up my IFB has now dropped me out of it. If you could just kind of sheart it there for me, I'll just take myself through these.

Hey, you go, Kirk Cousins.

Now you sit there, you look at guys.

Hey, Josh Allen, I'm playing him, But what about Kirk Cousins.

Last week?

Thirty four Fantasy points from him. He has had eighty eight percent of the Falcons touchdowns this season, and now you're starting to see all sorts of players be involved. Not only you have the Drake London. Sorry about Drake London. He's sitting there dominating. Remember when you didn't draft Drake London and Darnell Mooney.

Darnell Mooney might.

Have been better than Zay Flower. Here's the thing, though, This Falcons offense is dominating, and you gotta get him into your line of it.

If you need a.

Quarterback this weekend, I suggest Kirk Cousins.

Okay, so a, I know I'm supposed to ask you a question, but this is personal for me because I'm going through my roster here and I need some help. I know running backs have been really, really difficult to really figure out in fantasy. Is there a running back I should pick up right now in place? Maybe my flex or at the running back position?

Right Backbar is doing some investigating into your line.

Happened?

It was not good, It was very bad. You could have and you used to be on a fantasy show. That's embarrassing to me. But Chase Brown is somebody that you can pick.

Up and start this week.

Actually, over the last couple of weeks started to be more and more involved there in the Bengals offense.

We see him as kind of.

The home run hitter, the La de la Cruz of the Cincinnati Bengals. If you will so, yes, Chase Brown, if he's available, lock Bar, Oh, he's available, Ava, Yeah, I wish I.

Played in your leagues. Yes, sign them up right now? Sorry, Jock, justin fields your fun You.

Talk about Keenan, You talked about all of these guys. What is one receiver this week that managers may not be expecting to have a big week?

You know what, man tire.

Sometimes I get home and I just have to pour myself a couple of fingers of Jamison Jamison Whiskey and I'm gonna go Jamison Williams here against the Dallas Cowboys. Uh, I want every part of this matchup. We like Jalen Tolbert obviously, the no bleeped Sherlock parts if it comes with Aman Ross, Saint Brown and Cede Lambs. However, Jamo, we love him. Jayleen Tolbert, we love him. The tight ends we can get in.

All these guys.

How much do I have, Gorilla?

Look at who you you know, the whole bits of people that you have talked about today.

But I didn't get to talk about zach Ertz.

Yeah, well he's on the screen, So take your time at you have thirty seconds?

Oh so much time, zach Ertz.

Go ahead and listen a lot of people look at the Baltimore Ravens and they're like, oh.

We can't start me.

I can't start me tight end against this guy.

No, you can.

The Baltimore Raisins have given up tons of production to the tight end position, zach Ertz. With Jayden Daniels throwing the football quite expertly this season, you can start him in Akbar.

I guarantee you he's available. He's available. Okay, let me go look for that too.

Were your accent took us on a wild ride, And that's saying I'm a Robert Downey junior girl for Shirlock Holmes. But like you may power rank number two for Shirlock Holmes.

Oh nice, thank you so much for the great hit.

Just ranking Kerks is not available, he said,
