The Good Morning Football Podcast is part of the NFL Podcast Network 

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

Good Morning Football.

Yeah, this is Good Morning Football.

We are presented by old trapper Beef Jerkey every day live here in Los Angeles and New York City, which means we got the lead covered coast to coast. This is awkward about BMLLA, Peter Scheger, Kyle Brandt in New York.

I'm Jamie urt all Man.

Is there anyone luckier after yesterday's headline?

Phil Day?

Then Jerry Jones, Oh, Jerry Jones had a day yesterday.

He was telling people off.

I just thought that was kind of gangster though, just to be able to tell somebody, you know from another job, like yo, you know what, I can replace you?

Wow?

Okay, all right, just tell us how you really feel it is that and we would.

Have you can probably replace us.

Careful talking about it the sun over here.

But Davante Adams, Amari Cooper, Kimmikers, they all saved us yesterday because we had to keep talking about other things like trades.

Was very busy, and that's why we need.

Gentlemen like Tom Pelisero on our show, our Nicle Network insider Pelisara, what's happening Davante Adams. The news broke yesterday morning in the midst of GMFB overtime.

Just take us through the events of yesterday, please, Jamie.

To be clear, the trade deadline is still twenty days away, but it sure felt like it was happening yesterday. It started out with the Jets finalizing a trade that had been weeks in the making and been speculated on for more than a year. Davante Adams officially is a New York Jet, passed his physical to complete the trade. The Jets, sending a traditional third round pick in the twenty twenty five draft to Las Vegas potentially could become a second round pick, though that would require Adams to be named an All Pro or active for an AFC Championship game for.

A Super Bowl.

Part of the reason that the Jets were able to get this done, besides the fact that the Raiders got what they wanted, which was at least a chance for a second round pick, is they also took on Adam's entire contract. The Jets will pay him eleven point six million dollars for the balance of the twenty twenty four season, and they are hoping that is an investment that pays off. Woody Johnson talked about it at the league meeting down in Atlanta, said that Adams will open up the running game, the passing game, basically everything. Aaron Rodgers certainly has been frustrated. Other people within the organization, including Wody Johnson, have been frustrated. It costs Robert Sola his job recently. Here we shall now see how quickly they are able to get back that chemistry that they built all those years in Green Bay. Adams has had a legitimate hamstring injury that has sidelined him the past two weeks, but it certainly sounds like he is close and intends to make his Jets debut Sunday night against the Steelers. Mere out hours later, the Buffalo Bills also pulled off a big time wide receiver trade, bringing in a Marii Cooper for the Cleveland Browns. The Bills sending a third round pick in the twenty twenty five draft of the teams will also flop late round picks as part of the trade.

And here's the interesting thing about this deal.

The Bills, much like the Steelers and the Saints and obviously the Jets, were in on DeVante Adams, but the Bills did not have a lot of salary cap flexibility to get that deal done. The Raiders were not willing to eat any portion of Davante Adams contract. But with the Mary Cooper, the Browns actually had converted almost his entire salary this season into a signing bonus for salary cap purposes back in March. So instead of paying eleven point six million dollars for Devonte Adams, they get Amari Cooper for the rest of the season for about eight hundred grand. They are hoping that Amari Cooper will be a missing piece that's been important. They've been in on basically every top caliber receiver that's become available through the course of this offseason.

That got Kalil s gear back in action.

Dalton Kincaid is another player that want to get the ball to first round and picked Keon Coleman as well. But Amari Cooper, with his long history and his experience, they are hopeful is going to fit in seamlessly and quickly in Buffalo.

Jamie man Tom what a wild existence for Amari Cooper at times in his career.

A top three receiver now at the.

Value of a base salary in the final year of his contract. Rooms it's crazy moves from a fledgling Browns team at the moment to a Bills team that will compete, and Josh Allen s his quarterback. Two massive moves within the AFC East yesterday for the rivals that played each other on Monday night. Peter, I ask you, when you look at both of these trades, same positions going to teams that are fighting for a spot at the top of the division in the conference, which trade do you think will have a bigger impact within the landscape.

I'm going to tell you now, we're starting this show early in the morning on the East Coast. There's gonna be a lot of sports shows. Now this is going to be the take for everyone. You might think Adams is the be move, but the sneaky move is that Amari.

Cooper is actually the far bigger move. I disagree.

I think bringing Devonte Adams to the New York Jets is a kickstart that the Jets are looking for in a way that not only says they're doubling down on this season, that would be firing their coach, not only saying tripling down on the season, that would be changing the play call, quadrupling down on this twenty twenty four season. This is how far deep they are that they are bringing in DeVante Adams at this stage of his career, this late into the season, to say, let's salvage this thing somehow, some way, because we still believe despite a game with twenty penalties and two miskicks within forty yards, we still believe we can win the AFC East. I'm told in New York right now, Devonte Adams is not only there, but is knee deep in the game plan and has already begun game plan, and not only will play against the Pittsburgh Steelers, will be a significant portion of the game plan on Sunday Night, that he is going to have a real role despite getting there this week, I think the Rogers Adams story is the far greater impact.

Cooper is going to.

Be an excellent addition to a Bills team that might win the Super Bowl.

This is saving a season, though.

This is looking at a GM and saying this could save your career. This is looking at a coaching staff and saying this could save your careers. All of these guys, Todd Downing, Jeff Olbrick, Aaron Rodgers, Garrett Wilson, Bresee Hall. They all can still salvage this season that seems to be lost at two and four. And the person that might matter most is Woody Johnson, who is down in Atlanta citing Ricky Bobby doing, you know, answer the questions about how they're gonna play this season and how they're gonna go for it over readers, No doubt.

That was what it was.

First you last, he was saying all the right things that Jets fans are kind of rolling their eyes at this morning. But you know what, I look at the local New York sports media. I saw Salakata, who's my guy?

Going off?

I saw Brandon Tierney going off, and Jerry Joe Beningo going off. It's very easy to be done with the Jets and saying it's no one's fault, blame the older I get it.

I get it a lot. But they're not quit and they're going forward.

And Davante Adams magically has a perfectly fine handstring and I think he's gonna be perfect to go on Sunday Night against the Steelers. We don't have FaceTime with DeVante, we don't have him poking over the shoulder. We just have the four of us who are gonna analyze it. And I'll tell you this, I'm excited for it. Sunday night, he'll be playing in Pittsburgh and I think the Jets they are all in four times over.

Yeah, this is so cool. I love your take on it, I really do.

But I don't know that I can necessarily compare it because it's like Davante Adams Amari Cooper. Yet it's easy to do the one on one matchup and go who's the better wide receiver. Davante Adams is winning that all the way through. But situationally, I look at this and I go, well, look the Buffalo Bills. They're sitting there at four and two there at the top of the AFC East. This was to me the best proactive move the I'm like, we want to keep this. I remember they won, of course we all remember this, but they won just the other day. They beat them in that head to head matchup in the AFC East. They see, oh the Jets out there making move. They try to get that game up, right, Yo, they got some nice shoes, got some nice drip. Okay, well, you know what, We're gonna go out and get the guy who was very sneaky. I think he used the word sneaky, Peter, very sneaker. Yeah, twelve hundred yards last year, twelve hundred and fifty yards last year. The dude is still very, very productive. And I love the balance and that they have in the wide receiver room. Now you have your big guy in Kean Coleman, you have your obviously you have Shakir, then you have you add Amari Cooper. To me, that is a nice mix of wide receiver. Is a great compliment. I think Josh Allen's just gonna have his pick of the litter. They'll continue to be an effective group Offensively, it's the seventh ranked offense scoring offense in the league. I think that continues to be on the up and up.

It's pretty easy I can bottom line this for all of us as socially. Copeter, you might think that Davonte is the big trade, but the sneaky one here is Amari Cooper tweeted out, Now I actually have.

An original thought on this. I'm like that one.

We have two players, both in their thirties, both in the multiple Pro Bowls, playing the same position, going to the same division on the same day it's eerie. You don't see that, and yet it reminds me of something that we talk about from time to time on the show. And I have some comps for the Davante and the Amari trades on the same day to the same division, the same positions. Bring up the first comp here it is, this is starting to feel.

Kind of familiar. All right. On the left we have The Truman Show. On the right, we have Peter What that's ed TV. That's ed TV. Strikingly similar movies.

And here's what happens ed TV on the right with Dharma, massive movie.

Ron Howard's directing.

McConaughey is going to be huge star, all the hype, all the hype, the Davante in the situation, the Truman Show was like a slow burn.

The critics loved it and it ended up winning. Bring up the next comp.

Eerily similar on the same all right, On the right, we have the Illusionists. That's a sun Dance Darling with Ed Norton Beale is in there.

They got Jim Maddy in the supporting role.

But on the left, the prestige was the slow burn and the end bail and Jackman and David Bowie Chris Nolan came to win. Bring up the next comp. I don't know if this one is going to be the Davante in the mar. On the right we have Dante's Peak with James Bond and Sarah Connor, And left we have Volcano and Anna h was doing everything at the time.

Now, both of these movies were craps. So hopefully this is not the comp.

Here's what about Chris Brosen Here's great and Sarah Connor it's an unbelievable dude. If this is the comp, then both Davante and a Mari are gonna fall on their faces and the teams are gonna fall apart. But this is the most important one. Last, I always have the most important one. Last, here we go, here's Amri Davante. Now it is impossible to tell these two movies apart. One of them is Friends with Benefits, one of there was no strings attached. No one actually knows which one is. Which nobody knows? Don't tell me, you do, you don't. On the left, it was supposed to be Kutcher and poor Man. That's the bigger one. But I'm telling you, if you watch them, Timberlake and Kuness's chemistry is far better. It's higher Rotten Tomatoes, it's higher box office. I think that's the sneaky Amari play on the right.

I'm all mixed up because Kutcher is really married to Mila.

It's all.

It's very You want to know what one of the reviews said of the one on the right quote, these types of movies are just gonna keep coming out, and there's nothing we can do about it.

And listen, I get it. And the end, you don't know. You guess. Here's the thing.

They're friends, but they want to have like a sexy relationship, but they say it's just stay friends, and in the end they actually fall in love.

These movies walk so that Emma Stone and Ryan Gosling, Hello, they're.

Dancing at Sundance. That's right, guys.

It's the same concept at the same time, at the same position. And I do believe that Davante is more famous and Rogers is more famous.

Like the Bill's just got a very good receiver. The Bills just won that game.

I think the Bills have the chance to be the Truman Show to DeVante's EDTV.

Try to do that on another show. Go ahead. I don't have anybody in my FaceTime. I'm not creeping into Peter's shot.

Oh oh you gotta ready.

Hey, that was pretty cool. I'll tell you. It's really it's really cool. We don't have that. We don't have that. We got that out, we got darm We'll get Greg too, don't Greg. I don't care. We don't have that. We had that, we don't have that.

It's perfect. You are right that I would.

Be a fifty to fifty shot of trying to assign titles to those two movies that you just had. Let me see Timberlake and Coutcher again. I just because I want to talk through this because the one on the left, the Sportman Combo, they try to distract you with the side cast of Greta Gerwig and I think Mindy Kaling is the friend and that as well. So they're like, look at all these stars, We've just like comedy chops on.

The couch and there's a whole scene with a menstruation. It's a whole deal.

But the one on the right, it's like, which one is the saucier star? It is excellent, Kyle. Maybe maybe they'll both be a sensation because those those movies are pretty entertaining. But you're right, and by Canna sign and by Cana signed titles to those, I'm still confused because they were.

So no one knows, not only the people in the movie knew what they were working on.

Listen. That's the way we break it down.

The Davante trade is Wyner with Kevin Coster back doing another Western, and the Amari just might be Tombstone with Kurt Russell and ends up having the longevity. We'll find out though we don't know. That's what we do here.

Excellent Aaron Rodgers. He is just the wheel that keeps on turning. No, that's Kyle Brant for our show. Kyle get in. Peter shot one more time. It was very entertaining.

Aaron added another long ball prayer to his resume on Monday Night. I thought were gonna be song ball player, because that's what Devonte Adams might be. He is the king of hail Mary's and Kyle Brandt will break it all down still to come on our show.

Yeah, there's there's something. It's it's not spoken nothing about these hail Marys.

We know Rogers, Rogers, Rogers, Rogers, somebody catches the ball guys and we need to get into it.

You think I don't have a deep dive on Jeff Jannis, because I do. Let's go I have a deep dive on Jeff channel Richard Rodgers. Are you up been watching?

You better be, buddy, because I got thoughts. Whiteport Wednesday. Next Lions Vikings game of the week. It's this week's Commander's Ravens and the senior Supremacy on the Lion and who comes out as King in the North.

There they are, buddy, Peter, look at them. Look at them?

Yes, look at They're having coffee in bed.

She's feeding him and it's great.

They're holding hands. Soup.

Stop feeling so well, then they're gonna do it. She's under the weather. Then they're gonna make love. They give a little soup. Look the soup.

Football Time for undefeated segment.

Whitboard Wednesday.

Get your Marcus out, get your erasers out, and get your topics all ready.

For the whiteboard. Here we go.

Huge NFC North matchup inbound. The Vikings are hosting the Detroit Lions on Sunday. Peter, there must be one player that you are watching closest when this game comes around on Sunday.

After Reik.

It's devastating to lose Aiden Hutchinson from this game, but someone on defense needs to step up. And in August I did my top ten breakout players in the NFL list. You got some pretty good accuracy on it. Sometimes I miss I was going the shore pretty good when this guy was number four. Brian Branch is the player that I am looking at.

He is the.

Electric defensive back for the Detroit Lions who had a career day against the Dallas Cowboys, and I think with Aiden Hutchinson down, a leader must emerge. Second year player going up against the hated Vikings.

I have to see if this guy is now the vocal.

Leader, but also the guy that's going to put numbers up like this.

This was against the Cowboys.

He had two interceptions, he had a fourth, he had a quarterback, and he had six tackles.

Flies all over the field. Where's number thirty two?

I think we're going to be hearing his name made a lot in this game, and I think his role and responsibilities within that Lions defense is going to have to increase. With the great Aiden Hutchinson, the leader of that unit, being down, Brian Branch time to step up. Even more, and I think you're having an incredible year as is.

Yeah, Peter, I keep seeing takes.

It's like, because he was the forty fifth overall pick, like forty four times, team said no thanks, we'll move on from Brian branch like because he's having such an awesome season so far.

Chip on the shoulder nice.

All right for me?

Last week the Lions beat the breaks off of the Cowboys forty seven to nine, And so this one just makes me want to look at this man right here, Jared Goff going up against this amazing team in the Minnesota Vikings. Now, when you think about how Jared Goff has been playing fifty four of sixty six, he's eighty one percent in completion rate, seven touchdowns, you know, one interception in the last three game, Like this dude isn't playing ball.

And I just love you the chance. I love Jered Goff.

I love everything that is happening for this offense. But the one concern that I do have, and that's why I'm gonna be watching him very closely. We all know how aggressive Brian Flores and that defense is. We know that we saw what he did in Week five against Aaron Rodgers, I mean that covers zero bringing pressure. I mean, like almost all the passes, we just saw a lot of pressure coming. So I will say that Jared Golf, I think he's gonna be able to stand up in that pocket, but oh boy, he might want to get a little bit of like a little jiggle on him because they come in.

They coming for him, no doubt.

And I'm watching someone who's gonna have to get down and lower their hips and throw their shoulders anybody on the Vikings who has to tackle talking about our Van Ginko Harrison Smith, because I'm looking at David Montgomery. We have a lot of fun with him here on the show this year. If it's a angry runs and he's nominated every year, he's won every week he's won twice, and that is fun, but it also is an accurate barometer for how hard he is running and the Lions running game. In fact, he is running so hard and doing so well on our show and our segment then on his weekly radio hit, David Montgomery's running style and the awards he's been building up caught the attention of the franchise quarterback Jared Goff.

Go ahead, how impressed are you? With David Montgomery's running style. Yeah, he's damn good.

He's fun to watch and it seems like the run is never over with him.

And he's one the angry run thing.

Now twice he's gotten the double scepter.

It's called.

Don't know how many guys have got in that.

And we'll see if he can get a triple scepter coming up here.

Go calling for the triple scepter. And by the way, it almost came to that. He lost to Tyler LGF the Falcons. But when you get the quarterback excited about how hard you are running, and this quarterback has seen a lot of football, he's seen a lot of good running backs, you are really making everybody notice. The hardest runner in the NFL right now is coming for the heart of the Vikings defense. Better watch out. This is just light work for him. Light work, and you may get the triple scepter after this.

We don't know.

Okay, Branch, goff Montgomery.

You guys are in dangerous territory. Say justin Jefferson's name for a second, please, Like my goodness, it's a little unfair when it goes stree to nothing for an undefeated team who is coming into this game.

Someone's got to mention somebody from the Vikings. I just felt the moral.

Obligation, Jamie.

That's how you want That's how you want it. You want to be overlooked and dismissed.

You got you know that about that.

Now, let's see if Justin Jefferson who showed up at the game in London to play the Jets with a diamond crusted jet necklace, which he's like it says, I'm jetas. It's like, no, I think you could going to beat the brakes off the Jets if he shows up with the Lion and he's just like, no, it's because I just own all this jewelry and I'm gonna be Then we're gonna see a friend.

Okay.

Speaking of the Jets, DeVante Adams has been reunited with his BFF Aaron Rodgers and what hopes to turn the Jets season around with this pair, they are one of the best quarterback wide receiver duos of all time, which makes us think, is there another favorite memorable career reunion, Peter, that you have watched unfold that you would like to write and show us on your whiteboard.

I listened to a lot of podcasts. I like to think a lot of it is sports related. That makes me a smarter, savvier sports broadcaster. But the podcast I'm most into is one that is hosted by these guys.

Dana Carvey and David Spade. Let's Go.

They host a podcast called Fly on the Wall. They interview everyone that's ever been on Saturday Night Live, and they go episode by episode after the Saturday Live episode's air, and the two of these guys have an incredible rapport and oh, by the way.

Dana Carvey's back.

Guys, Dana Carvey is doing the Joe Biden on Saturday Go type in Joe Biden family feud from this week President.

Joe Biden Dana Carvey like he did George W.

Bush so many years ago, stealing in the zeitgeist.

I am so into these two right now.

Grew up watching them in the nineties and now here we are in the twenty twenties and kids of a different generation.

Are like, those two guys are hilarious. Carvey and Spade. I'm here for it.

Hell yeah, Okay, all right, I have one that's a little different. It's a little story, so I'm gonna just bear with me.

Here. I'll never forget.

It was sometime in November.

I'm at Audubon Middle.

School in Los Angeles and it's after school, and I hear all the TVs on and all the teachers are.

Gathered up in the room. I'm like, what's going on?

And I remember my teacher, Miss King, says, boy, get out of here, get out of here, go home. And I start walking home and I hear all the TVs on. It was November seventh, nineteen ninety one. Magic Johnson had retired from the NBA from the Los Angeles Lakers.

I was heartbroken.

I was crying as the Lakers for Oh no, I can't believe it.

It's over. Life is over.

Magic Johnson in nineteen ninety six, about four and a half years later, reunites with the Lakers. Of course, we remember the showtime Laker. This was a different Magic Johnson. He came back at a new position. It was called the point forward. You would appreciate that I was like a point forward. I've never heard of that. He was buffer, he was bigger. The world had changed, and I will never forget that I made it to that first game back. I said, I have to go see Magic Johnson nineteen ninety six. It was against the Golden State Warriors. He put up nineteen points, had ten assists. He was back doing the no Look, eight rebounds. I'll never forget that. That to me is the all time best reunion. Magic Johnson going back to the Lakers, DeVante Adams to the Jets and Aaron Rodgers.

That's not a reunion, Magic Johnson. Magic Johnson going back to the Lakers. That was a reunion.

You were a reunion.

Purists, you're telling yes, like it's like it's a different team, it doesn't matter, but it's got to be the same team.

Yea, it was the same thing.

I got you.

I want Magic to have a reunion with the Magic Hour. That was my remember the basketball. I like the Magic Hour.

There are three movies I've seen in the theater that have made me cry. They are a Boys in the Hood, Rudy and Star Wars The Force Awakens. When I was an adult man, Harrison Ford reuniting with the Star Wars Empire was a massive deal for every fanboy.

Every quote unquote nerd. There he is in the early eighties.

That of course would be episode six, the Return of the Jedi. But when he came back and it was the JJ Abrams thing and there we go. He was back in the Peter this moment. I literally cried in the movie theater when he and Chewie walked back in the cockpit. And you know who was not emotional about it whatsoever, Harrison Ford.

He's on with Jimmy Fallon and Jimmy found like, so like, you're.

Back, You're back in the cockpit and when you walked into the Millennium falcon, like did you get emotional?

And he goes, I got paid. Oh, we love you. Harrison Ford never ever changed.

You don't give a damn about all the nostalgia, but this one's to me. This and it ended terribly in that movie for the character. But it was wonderful all for all of us fans. I'll cry right now thinking about it's beautiful.

I'll cry with you when Harrison Ford has a new movie come out. I like the movie, but I like when he has to go on the interview circuit because like the things, the unnot things that Harrison Ford says about being a star in Hollywood, it's really entertaining.

We always love a Harrison Ford honest answer.

Yesterday, we asked if Saquon Barkley returning to New York is a revenge game if you deem it as such.

The answers were mixed.

But the point is this revenge game could be categorized as a over used sports cliche. But sometimes Peter, who can't help but use it? So, Peter, what is your favorite? Your least favorite? Excuse me over use vae? You hate it, you're annoyed by it, get rid of it, write it on your whiteboard, and then hopefully you could erase it forever.

Least favorite? Over YOUU sports cliche, Jamie.

I can go chronologically since we've been doing a show, to when I grew up watching, to when I played sports in high school, all this stuff.

But I'm gonna go now. I'm good with this one.

What do you mean?

He is him? Like I'm good. I'm good. I'm good because they can't all be him. I mean, if I should be able to be one hymn.

But I'm watching college football and some you know, Boise State players him, And then the next day I'm watching the NFL and some Minnianapolis cults, and then I'm watching the WNBA and it's like she is she is there's a lot to follow here.

Does get complicated? So I say, he is him, I'm good, I'm done. Let's put it away right along.

It's one thing when the players say it and everything. It's when the social media account starts saying that someone is him.

A fifty eight year old broadcaster from Syracuse who comes out and it's like.

What it do, fella? What it do? Fella? He is, I'm like, I'm good, put it away. Goh man, I got a girl. Good laugh on it? You right home? Him? But we can't all be mine?

Is this one that keeps popping up to me and I keep hearing it operation, and especially in football, you're hearing a lot of that, Oh we're running this operation. We got to shut down this operation. You look at this operation. Come on, man, like, what do we playing? We're not playing operation. I don't want to I don't want to do operation anymore. Let's come up with something else, like Operation is too long, it doesn't sound right, it's not cool, it doesn't make you sound smarter or that you know, and you watch more film, stop using operation.

It's my least favorite. That that one. To me, I just can't do it.

It's stiff it's a great child's game, though still electric all these years later.

I just had to add this recently.

Recently, Harrison Ford in an interview with GQ and they say to him, you know, we have to ask a little fashion. There's a picture of you from can Film Festival in the eighties and you ring a blue top and blue shorts and it's gone viral.

Would you just tell us if you remember that? And Hairsport literally goes, I'm going to be sick, and he walks.

Out of the frame. He just cannot do it. Harrisipfort never change. He is Hairsupport?

Is him? Fight Operation Peter on TV just going on a rant about he is him. I didn't have that on my bingo. I will continue to parade against this, guys. It was a funny, witty way to.

Say something unusual happened about three years ago, and then every single person started doing it.

And like your aunt Susan on Facebook is saying, didn't have this on my bingo card.

It's something about Kamala and it's just like it's all bad.

Stop saying the bingo card thing.

There are reputable, prestigious people, it's huge platforms still unironically making the bingo card line, it's really lame and it's really done. It had its run and it's over. Please please stop saying you know what I wish they had on my bingo card. Nobody mentioned in their bingo card anymore, and I would cross it off.

I would that's my free space right in the middle. Stop it with a stip pick up card. I hate it.

One of my analysis one of these days, just to get under.

Your skin.

That when you hear it now, all you will think of is Kyle Brand's angry face right there. I'm like it really it makes you there. People still use it all over the place, guys. I texted something recently that I need to stop doing, and people say it now and I think it's kind of like the really thing.

I do it all the time. I need to stop. I can't like I just it's like.

Oh this so and so I had, like a great game. He needs to be amazed. I can't even or like I'm dead. It's just like it's I'm dead. It's like I did it to the other day in the group chat.

Just like the school face.

I need to remove the skull from my favorite emojis used because emojiz I'm dead. It's just well, I'm dead with myself for using that. It's too much and like, really, I'm just looking at myself. Stop saying it, stop using it. Bingo card operationally and operation and I'm here.

You are him as there can only be one. I'm kind of thank you.

Yeah, poor Jamie, I'll take it.

Moving on.

Yeah, Well, the NFL wrapping up the Fall League meeting on Tuesday, and one of the topics of discussion was how the new dynamic kickoff rule is going. Here's Commissioner Roger Goodell on that.

We're starting to see I think the excitement of that play again and you know, we're seeing long returns, both for touchdowns and over forty yards is how we sort of look at it. So it's also moved a start line, the start drive line, and I think that's really important, roughly the twenty four to the twenty nine, so it's a five year increase that's important in the context of offense, and so well, we will probably i would say, work on certain elements of that at the end of the season when we have more data and more experience. I think it's bodes very well for the future. The kickoff.

In other news from the meeting, NFL owners officially approving Tom Brady as a limited partner of the Raiders, Brady personally holding out five percent stake in the team. Brady's saying he's eager to contribute to the organization in any way he can, but because he's an owner, he cannot play quarterback.

Find out when Good Morning Football returns.

Good Morning Football It's Wednesday, which means we've break out the list Shreggers Fabulous Five. This is where we give our list of the top five rookies last week. And it has gotten to the point where I have GMS coaches, coordinators, maybe most dubiously agents reaching out to me saying, how have you not included my guy.

On the list?

Sending me numbers, sending me stats. Each week, only five can make it. There will be a lot of unhappy parties after this one. We start off with number five and we go up to Western New York where rookie running back Ray Davis had his national coming out party against the Jets.

Ray Davis was awesome. On Monday night.

Davis, all of the field's had one hundred and fifty scrimmage yards. In fact, he had one hundred and fifty two and in the first drive was like I'm going to assert myself. They ran the ball in eight of the first nine plays and Ray Davis was the key man opening the passing game as well. How good was his performance from the Bills rookie out of Kentucky, Ray Davis had the third most scrimmage yards by a rookie in the last twenty years of Bill's football.

We go back to Marshawn who, in a game.

Again Cincinnati, had one hundred and sixty yards, Sammy Watkins who was a fourth overall pick, and then you get Ray Davis, a Day three pick who went for one fifty two and demoralized the Jets. He is the first rookie with seventy five rushing yards and fifty receiving yards in any game since Breise Hall did it two years ago for the Jets against the Dolphinsteam's true, that's it.

He made it that he hurt. It is number four.

We go to Philly where Nick Sirianni stole a lot of the headlines. But let's not get it lost that Cooper Dijon had one of the best games by any defensive back in football.

This past weekend.

The rookie had in this one five tackles and also had pump returnyards throughout the game fifty plus.

And this was his first start.

As a player for the Eagles.

He was all over the field.

You couldn't get anywhere watching this game without him popping up on the screen. Now, look, the coolest part was he and fellow rookie Quinion Mitchell.

They did a jersey swap amongst each other, two rookies after the game.

Two rookie defensive back on the same Team's cool.

You look at this stat right here, and this is kind of cool.

Look at the other names you've got, Flip Wee, Cannon and You've got Patrick Peterson, two legends of their generations.

And then you've got Cooper who had fifty.

Plus punt retard ron retard yards was taking it back the entire game. Eagles have a star, their second round pick who's finally healthy and finally on the field.

Now, historically on this segment, we've been.

Doing it a few years. We like to reward players from winning teams. It takes a sensational performance to be a losing player on a team and yet still make the Fab Five. Number three in our lists for the sixth consecutive week is Commander's rookie quarterback Jaden Daniels, who.

In a loss, was outstanding.

I wanted these plays specifically in the footage of these plays, this pass that he has to zach Ertz is absolutely incredible.

You look, it's a fake handoff watching.

This one here, and then throw the look away on.

That one and they.

Complete the pass across the middle. Look at it one more time here, look at his head and he gets hit and he still makes the key completion to Earth, which was a huge moment in this game. And how about this one, the touchdown down fourteen, He just throws it almost blindly thinking mclaurin's gotta be there. You watch where he threw it from this angle here on the biggest play of the game for the Commanders.

Cut the lead to seven.

Unfortunately they wouldn't get another shot here. But Jayden Daniels never wavered. He was in this game. He went in against the Commanders and he was still against the Ravens.

He was as good as he's been in his first five starts that we've been raving about.

An unbelievable performance, and this was the first touchdown to McLaurin.

I thought he was excellent and was up to the task.

Highest percentage of drives ending in a score first six games, last thirty seasons.

Reason not pretty cool, Peter. This is history, mind you.

These are not these players rookie seasons. These are these players arguably best seasons.

And yet every time.

Jayden takes the score, it takes the field. It looks like chess Way has to stand on the sideline. And we're not even bringing out Austin Cyberg because.

We have our guy. It's this guy, Jaden Daniels.

We're always going to edit a score, field goal or touchdown the punter stay off the field. A lot of times field goal kickers stay off the field because we're going for it, because this guy can get the touchdown. What Jaden Daniels is doing is still unprecedented, and yet he's not number one of the list.

We've got two more for number two.

Let's go to New Orleans, where Tampa Bay rookie running back Bucky Irving had a career afternoon. The former Oregon Duck shows up in New Orleans after traveling seven hundred miles and being there since the Tuesday beforehand, and hasn't arguably.

The play of the week.

Let's go to the Fox broadcast to relive the Bucky Irving angry run where Baker Mayfield makes an appearance in the blocking game as well.

Ta a Bay inside of the rule. It's forty five. We'll just be happy with possession. Baker Mayfield a thirty one yard rum ball for Buckie, one of the longest runs of his career.

One of the coolest runs of the season, and Bucky had career highs across the board. He had fourteen carries, he had eighty one stretching yards, he had twenty four receiving yards, and right now, Bucky Irving a Day three, pick leads all rookies in rushing with three hundred and twenty eight yards.

I'll go one step further. Rashaan White not on the field.

They had the all time most rushing yards for a Buccaneers team with out their typical starter Bucky Irving playing a huge role, which leads to number one and number one, it is a pleasure to finally have the number one overall pick. Here we go, ober one player on the Fab five. He had his greatest game as a professional player, and he gave us all a treat in the early morning window. Number one on our list is Bear's rookie quarterback Caleb Williams, who absolutely dominated the Jacksonville Jaguars on Sunday.

Caleb is now four and two.

Out of the gates and had his best game on Sunday. The numbers were incredible, the style and the swagger was great, and the fact that he did it for an international audience with no other games in the window was something. Everyone started their Sundays across the world and especially across the country as this game aired later in the afternoon in the international waters and they say, Wow, Caleb Williams is for real. You look at this best record in first six starts for a number one overall quarterback since we started the modern era, and Caleb has the best one.

Bigger than Andrew.

Luck who had a great rookie year, bigger than Sam Bradford, and bigger than Kyler Murray who had a tie that early going. He's the fourth rookie to ever have four plus passing touchdowns and fifty plus rushing yards in a game. He did that Sunday against Jacksonville. Caleb Williams has arrived, and if you want to see it, here's the list.

One more time. We go five to one, and we do so.

With Caleb Williams as the number one player on the list.

Of course, we're gonna hear from a lot of you at home.

Where's Brock Bowers, Where's Tyron Tracy?

Where's the corner out of Tennessee? Who is locked down?

There's a lot of different players who didn't make the list, but here is who made mine.

Your striggers.

Fabulous five, Kyle Brant, Caleb Williams is number one.

Your thoughts, it's great, My thoughts, Sorry, it's an amazing list.

I still can't believe that Jadan Williams full screen.

You brought up where he's looking down at Peyton, Kurt Warner and Brady.

But Peter said Jayden Daniels, that is an error. We'll change that in the first post month.

But we do. We changed things up close. But Peter set the table for the segment. Unlike anybody else where. He says, all the gms and agents who are texting him about where's my guy?

So I have my own top five list guys.

Top five people who've been texting her are about his top five lists. At number five, we have Brandon Beesman texting Peter. Number four, Howie Roseman, number three, Jason Light, number two is also Jason Light, and number one my guy, Sean Stillatto, the super agent.

He goes, listen, I know Tommy DeVito's not out there.

I think he's still texting you that he should be on the list in presence alone.

I love that. I love so much. That is good. Sorry, Sean Stillado reached out to you. Did he did he? Bruce Tallner has been reached? Is that your agent? I part shout out, no wonder you're talking Gared Golf up every segment. God, that's how the sausage is made. That's good.

I'm going to put Jason Light on your board twice, Kyle, because Bucky Irving. I love the fact that the Buccaneers have another running back who is an absolute bowling ball out of the backfield, and the fact that his name is Bucky Irving and it used to be and he went the Buccaneer, and he went to Oregon and he's at the Buccaneer.

Please, that's great. I will say this.

I thought Ray Davis should have been number one. Ray Davis, I mean he got drowned by.

Carrying Caleb buddy in the game.

What do we do, hey, Davis, Caleb an Network on Sunday.

We've got jobs because of Caleb Davis. I know he wears a cowboy hat. His name. Fourth Rounders
