Good Morning Football.
Welcome to Good Morning Football, brought to you by our friends at Old Trapper Beef Jerkey. We are live in Los Angeles and New York City. You're already halfway through the weeks of How It Is Wednesday. I'm Sharry Burris here alongside Aquar Baja Biamilla. We were insider Mark Rofolo here at the table, our friends holding it down as always in New York City. That's Peter Schrager and Kyle Brand. It was really good to see you last night yesterday in general, huge day. Yeah, a lot of movement, of course, talking about the trade deadline, a lot of parts that these guys are going to have to find new places to live now in their new cities.
Kyle, they really are.
And that's what we're thinking about this morning. And I can promise you all at home we love football here. The show was called Good Morning Football, and we're about to talk about football for hours and hours and hours and that's it. And we'd love that you're here with us.
Let's roll.
Welcome in from New York City.
We love seeing Mike.
We love seeing Akbar, We love seeing Isaiah standback and you, Sherry.
We're here to talk some ball. Excited about the weekend worth of football.
Yeah, let's do it like we said, busy day. Trade deadline was yesterday. Do you want to focus on two teams in particular who made some move the Steelers and the Commanders. As we said, Mike, your follow here with us, our insider Mike, there were some pretty big moves there in our nation's capital, but also the steel City.
Who's going where Mike Williams.
We thought this one was going to happen immediately after the Jets acquired Devanta Adams. Took a little bit before it was finalized. Mike Williams heads to the Pittsburgh Steelers for a fifth round pick. He was the odd man out with the Jets. It began with him on his free agent visit and how highly recruited he was by the team and also by the fan base with the breakfast sandwiches and all these things, and in the end he would wind up being the odd man out. So he had the Pittsburgh Steelers for a fresh start, still working his way back from that acl injury, but got a chance now to join Russell Wilson in that offense. The Steelers also acquiring Preston Smith from the Green Bay Packers for a seventh round pick to help that pass rush upfront. Meanwhile, you talked about the other side of this game that we're going to see this weekend. Marshawn Lattimore head to the Washington Commanders, a team that was in dire need excuse me, of some help in the secondary. Latimore going to Washington with a fifth round pick for a third, a fourth, and the sixth back to the Saints, who aren't necessarily I'm gonna get pass this, who aren't necessarily rebuilding. But looking at that and say, how could we turn up all that draft capital coming back to us, especially because we didn't see we haven't seen any first round picks change hands. We've only seen three second round picks change hands to this point. So to get a third round pick, a Day two pick, and more on top of that on Day three, Saints just couldn't see them.
Washington did have a lot of draft capital as you looked at all that they had at the draft. There were nineteen players traded in season in twenty twenty four, third most since ninety five, and the schedule makers just great work. Kudos to you guys, because as fate would have these two teams, Commanders and Stealers squaring off on Sunday, the Commanders hosting Pittsburgh at that So Peter, knowing these moves that were just made yesterday at the trade deadline, does that change the landscape for you when these two teams get together?
Yeah, I mean, this is really cool. It's one of the games of the week and it's in Washington, d C.
In November. Like, we don't see that in the NFL. We'ven't had that in maybe fifteen years. There was the brief Robert Griffin and Kirk Cousins like one year wonder stuff that those guys did in their separate seasons where they took the teams to the playoffs. But we're talking about excitement and maybe the hub for like all that's happening in the NFL with youth and exuberance and really some juice. And I'm going to focus on the Commanders. I thought they came into New York last week and it looked like trap Game City going into the Giants building, Giants leading a win, and it was like they took care of business, and right when the Giants are coming back, I was like, nope, Daniels, he finds Olamachi's a k on the big play.
That was the game. This was it. They put them away.
But I'm gonna focus on Latimore real quick because the fact that the Commanders didn't just rest on their laurels and say, we're such a young team is a fun squad.
We're gonna just figure.
It out in the way. The fact that they're like, you know what, there's a window, like maybe this is our year. Maybe we can win the division, maybe we're better than Philly, and guess.
What, who knows. If we add a good corner.
On this team, maybe we can compete with the Detroits and the Minnesota's and the Green Bays.
Latimore is an interesting.
Pick up here.
Their defensive backfield was Benjamin Saint Juice and Emmanuel.
Forbes in a lot of ways, and Forbes, obviously we don't like picking on anyone, but like that, that doesn't seem like that's a pick that's gonna work out as a number one corner in this league. And he was drafted very early just last year. You now bring in Latimore is year one, Saint Juice can move to the two. And then you've got Sanstro the kid from me who's been the nickel and is all over the field like he can now be freer to play the nickel spot. This gives Joe Witt Junior's defensive backfield like some real possibilities that I think it was the Achilles heel going into the rest of the season saying yeah, but when it comes down, you can throw all over the Commanders if you have to. Latimore is a number one guy, so I'm excited for this. I want to see how he matches up against Pittsburgh, and I want to see that building alive and that team responding to being seven to two and on national TV at one o'clock in the window where everybody's watching.
Yeah, you make a good point.
This matchup looks fun, and the calendar, when you put it next to it, looks even cooler. I think the wild thing about this game is that Jane Daniels is the number one quarterback story of the season, and yet somehow I think he's the second most interesting quarterback in this game.
Russell Wilson is now really a thing.
Like we're going into another start and how's Russ poling as he goes to Washington.
It's falling really well.
Small sample sized, guys, but it has been amazing.
Would you say, actually, would you say it's too close?
Are you good?
No?
Oh, you're calling it.
No, I'm gonna go ahead and call it right now. They made the right choice, Peter. He's been perfect in the fourth quarter. I mean that literally. He has a perfect passering in the fourth quarter of these games. No one over the last two weeks, last two starts for Russ has more yards for attempt. He's going downfield, He's doing all these crazy things. You want to know what other fun side story of this? Dan Quinn versus Russell Wilson going.
Back to the Seattle days.
Okay, spend a lot of time together Dan when he was running the defense under Pete, when Russ was in his prime in a Superstar, and they have faced off several times before when Dan left to Atlanta, Russell Wilson going against the dan Quinn defense, and Russ has done extremely well three and one with almost no mistakes whatsoever.
So again, a lot of history.
And if you love football and you go back to the Russell Wilson Seattle days. You know that they spend a lot of time together. But I love Jaye Dan's we're kind of set on that. We know he's a Sensation's great. Is this a fun little blip where Russell Wilson played well for a couple of weeks and Mike Tomlin looks cool, whereas Russell Wilson really found something here. They just got them another new wide receiver. And is this team at six and two surgeing as we're talking about home playoff games for the Steelers. It's really cool And I got my eyes on the Steelers quarterback Russell Wilson.
What a time to be alive. Yeah.
You know the thing is, I don't even remember the last time I can remember a Pittsburgh Steelers and a Washington Commander. They're both four plus games over five hundred, they're both half a game above in their division at the sitting at the top, and you look at this matchup, and one intriguing matchup that I like is Terry McLaurin. Who's become of course, you know Jay Daniels number one receiver. He's been a dog, he's having one of his best years ever as a pro, and he's got this matchup going up against Joey Porter Junior, and Joey Porter Junior has been doing quite well against some pretty notable wide receivers Drake London and Courtland Sutton and Ceedee lamb Elak neighbors. Like you look at this Pittsburgh's defense, the secondary, they they really come up and they've stepped up. There's a reason why they're six and two as well. So looking at Terry McLaurin putting Joey Porter Junior on them, seeing how that matchup goes, that's one I'm gonna really be paying attention to. But I do like that the Washington Commanders they're not sitting around just going like we're not gonna get We're not gonna be put out in the conversation as far as trying to go to a big show. I think everyone's excited about how great their season is, but they're.
Not done yet.
That was a big time move for securing this secondary move.
You gotta be excited about the Commanders because they're doing it offensively to thirty points per game, almost the most since Mark Rippin was the quarterback of the Washington team back in nineteen ninety one. The way that Cliff Kingsbury and this offense is humming. And then you look on the other side of this game and you got Terrell Austin in this defense, in the way that the Pittsburgh Steelers are playing on that side, Like this is the matchup for.
Me coming into this game.
And the way that Cliff Kingsbury called that game anyway he's called it all season long, the way he called that game against the Giants the other day. My man was in his own and he was pressing all the right buttons, and then.
You got look at that see that see that place? She r yeah, yeah, that big. Okay, it doesn't have to be that big.
I might have tiny words on it though it's I doesn't even know what that means, but I love it. It's not necessarily a complicated scheme. It's a scheme in which all these guys are flying to the football because he's getting them to fly to the football, and Beanie Bishop doing what he's doing. Three interceptions in two games. This is the matchup for me, Cliff Kingsbury schematically against how hard this Steelers defense plays and what they're being able to.
Do up front.
It's going to be a chess match. You bring that point up to Mike Washington is scoring the second and most points while the Steelers defense is allowing these second fewest points. And one of those reasons is t J Watt. He is a pain in the butt for any offense. Kyle, how do you see rookie Jaden Daniels, who we have come to love and seen just make some incredible plays in his young career, have to go up against a dude like what?
It's a good question too, because remember, you know, Jade's been banged up, he's got the rib thing, and there's this obvious sense that he is not exactly who he is or all the mobility and everything. But he's gonna have to wrong like crazy because I don't care how small that play sheet is, Mike. All it needs to say is just unleashed Watt and Heismith. That's all it says on there. And by the way, I do find that play sheet absolutely hilarious because I feel like there's kind of an arms race in the play Shet like mine's bigger, Mine's bigger, and it's the fact to zag and it's almost like the size of a business card. You're right, it's that tiny little thing because we know what we got on defense, We're going against a rookie quarterback that's absolutely unleash. Hell, if I could go back and do Halloween over, I would be that Steelers play card.
I'd like that. You wouldn't be turntoffs, and you'd be the play card I want to be. Yes, I would rest up as the play card.
I will say our defensive calls. Unless you're in a dom Caper's defense, the defensive calls are a lot shorter, so you can reduce it. Put down the font size. Look at that the same thing. They've probably got the same left out in the laundry too long, look at look at the offense. They get real fancy with the words.
One of the best performances last week in that Commander's Giants game was actually the rookie tackle for the Commander's Brandon, who played out standing and kept Jayden Daniels upright. So you're talking about what and also you got to give high Smith his weve Heigsmith is unbelievable Coleman, and this mix and match of veterans and young guy offensive line in Washington has been fantastic. And the irony, of course is that the offensive line coach in Washington, as Mike knows, used to be with the Giants and was discarded and it was not exactly the dude that they thought they needed to run.
That offensive line comes back comes over to Washington.
Of course, Handle's business against Big Blue.
Wat High Smith, Nick Herbig, Nick Kirbig. I get the wrong Herbig from Nick Herbig. And now you add Preston Smith as well. Now his snaps were dwindling in green Bay. They want to get Lucas van Ness some more working green Bay, so you get him out there to Pittsburgh. Pittsburgh takes on some money with Preston Smith, but they've got a quarterback on a veteran minimum deal like that was part of the appeal for Russell Wilson. That allows you to do other things. Bring in Mike Williams, bring in Preston Smith. I think Preston Smith I referenced this and Peter you appreciate it. References yesterday a couple of times in the air Ernie of Corsi, general manager of the New York Giants, way back when they took Justin Tuck and Matthias Kiwanuka, even though they already had Michael Strahan and OCU manure. You can never have enough pass rushers was his saying. The Pittsburgh Steelers feeling that way right now.
And a full circle moment Press and Smith playing his first four seasons in Washington, so he gets to go back there to landover Maryland of a coming up here. The Patrick Mahomes play from Monday night, Woo, this all had a little scared. I think in Kansas City, Peter, a lot of people were willing to give up their ankles.
Yes, And I've got some thoughts on the reaction to this play and the immediate reaction to this play, and maybe we should all take something out of what we saw on Monday night and maybe apply it to people. We'll get into it later in the show and it.
Might be for the day.
Okay, I think I might join you on that. Let's look at a more positive play. We're still talking about that. No, not that one. No, that's not it. That's not it either.
No, but I promise you Sekwon did jump there? We go ready doing Yes.
It continues to circulate the internet. I dreamt about it again last night.
Wow, didn't you?
Despite everything that happened, I was still thinking about Sakwa. I was still thinking about jumping backwards one of the other places in NFL history. We can't forget whiteboard Wednesdays.
Next, Good morning football guys, Let's get into Whiteboard Wednesday.
Where now at the halfway point of the season, which is incredible to think Week ten starting on Thursday.
So your favorite storyline of the.
First half of the season is Peter are trying to draw a little books since we're halfway through the story here that is the NFL. Where are you taking us?
Yep?
Okay, I'm just going to go one word, and I think the first half of the season and it might be overkilled considering how we started the show, but I think it's this guy. I think the resurgence of the Washington Commanders as a football team has been the story of the first half of the season.
Not only the fact that this has.
Been a moribund franchise that we haven't mentioned on this show since we became a show in twenty sixteen. That word moribun, that that organization kind of invented that that's it and not anymore. Though yeah, it was on the field, off the field, it was like it was on savory to talk about it was more a bun.
And now you have an owner.
Who everyone seems to enjoy watching, you know, run this team. And then you've got a GM that's new, a coach that's new, an offensive coordinator, defense Cordina's new, and then this guy who ties it all together, Washington DC a popular topic right now or an unpopular topic, depending on where you're watching. But this guy, you can't say a negative thing about him. He has brought this franchise back and they are not going anywhere.
Yeah, I'm sorry, I was just getting mine going here. The one that got away, all right? You know who I'm talking about, Sakwon Barkley. How did the Giants let him go away? Like for him to get away and to see the way the Philadelphia Eagles have now just essentially jumped up in the NFC, you know, and the way they continue to play. Saquon Barker has been outstanding talent and the storyline keeps playing out because we're seeing, obviously the Giants just continue to dwindle down and going really like how bad was that? I mean to even hear Michael Parsons on his podcast talked and just straight out called the Giants like call off the stupidity of letting a talent like Saquon Barkley, and then he puts off that highlight that. Of course, I know, Kyle, you're still dreaming about I'm still thinking about the whole world, still thinking about Saquon Barkley. One of my favorites right now.
Well, you know my knee jerk reaction, favorite storyline. It's like a positive thing, and you guys have gone that way. But to me, my favorite stories have ups and downs and drama and some conflict. That we've got Aaron Rodgers, we had the Robert Sola situation.
It's been up and down.
I sometimes like it open ending when it comes to my story, and that's what we've got right now with the Jets.
This thing you're not over right now. So I'm in it.
I'm in it for the ups, I'm in it for the downs, and I can't wait to see what the Dan new.
Mat has to bring for the Jets. Here. This is mom. I love a day new Ma.
That's when I like the action finally turns and you figure out what's gonna happen.
Dany ne Ma, I don't have one for this team.
I just have the Eagles generally in twenty twenty four, What an interesting season, What an interesting story. It starts in another continent in which they look incredible and they beat the Green Bay Packers. Then they lose to Atlanta, lose to Tampa Bay. Have you ever ever and then there's this, I mean, this wasn't a win, but not really a win over the It wasn't.
It wasn't a satisfying win.
Have you ever seen a fan base more angry at their head coach after a win? And I would include this week even when they beat the Jaguars and people are angry about Nick Sirianni and they won.
They gave us the highlight of the year. That Akbar just showed.
You got Eagles dignitary on video breaking phones like there's just this is team content right here, the Eagles and we are on How I feel like we're in week seventeen with the Eagles.
It's not bad. I worked on this hard. Thank you to the Eagles for all the content.
Kelly, you drew the Eagle facing the right way. They're the only NFL logo to face left. So I want to give you major kudos to your drawing scales. I know you did that on purpose, and.
I'll pittry for the left. Why not?
Big're in for the left.
Let's move on, Let's move on. There is new video that just continues to flood social media. Same one, amazing reverse hurdle. The reaction here you're seeing is of his teammates of when he actually leaps over the dude. Kelly, you said you dreamt about this last night too.
Yeah, I'm going to dream about it tonight. I'm having a recurring dream. And someone that's from the look at Jordan Davis.
Davis, that's the Kevin Mcalwichter's unbelievable. I love this play.
It's the play the only Brandon grab before it even happens, you know something weird's going to happen.
It's just the best. It's absolutely watching.
But everyone I heard some watch ninety ninety.
Read blanket Ship for the wind too.
Yeah, read blankets.
You did the gift with the guy.
So our second question is what old NFL play are you still thinking about. I tried to draw Kyle dreaming of Saquon here, but Peter, it could be a dream. Mine is actually more of a nightmare if I get to answer, But what is yours?
Okay?
So the Chiefs fans have been waiting fifty years to get back to a super Bowl and the Titans come into Arrowhead and there's like this feeling of dread.
I was in the building.
Was this whole thing like we're going, right, we're gonna.
Go this year. Right, We're gonna go this year.
And it wasn't put away into the fourth quarter. Sammy Watkins has a fourth quarter touchdown. You're not at home like I remember that play.
Think about fifty.
Years of frustrations and playoff losses and home playoff losses and finally realizing that that dragon has been put down.
Take a listen to the call from the Great jim NANTZ.
Swingshit way down to feel the walk cuts.
At that moment, Chiefs fans who had waited fifty years knew they were going back to the Super Bowl. They were headed to Miami where they would ultimately win one. But think about that fifty year way and now think about what Chiefs fans have been through since twenty nineteen to twenty twenty four, where now it's just expected they're going to have moments like that. So Sammy Watkins, that's where I really I became official. This team, this dynasty, this could be for real.
You know, I'm going to go back to my childhood.
Man, the eighties.
There was some good times, man, But there was one particular athlete and his name is Bono's Jackson. Remember the whole Bono you know campaign, everybody, everybody was all in on it. He was this two sport athlete. But it was this run right here against the Seattle Seahawks in nineteen eighty seven. He goes for ninety one yards and I just remember being a young kid watching like his physical running ability, but the fact that kept running ninety one yards into the tunnel, that one is sear in my brain.
I will never forget.
There was nothing really dynamic outside of the fact that this is big dude six one, two hundred plus pounds out running. Everyone ain't just kept going. And I always wanted to have that moment where I would just run so fast and that I would run through a tunnel. In fact, I even because today was a special day and I was gonna talk about this. You remember these right there the bow knows the bo Jackson's. I wore these today just the you she off, Yeah, yeah, I did, I think off. I won most athletic at Crenshaw High School, and that bow knows a picture you remember when he's with the shoulder pad and the baseball. Yeah, of course with the bat. I took one with the basketball and the shoulder pass just because so much. I just it was seared in my brain that I wanted to be like Bo Jackson. So I never played running back, but that was a Bo Jackson moment that six with me forever.
If I may, and thank you for the opening. We hadn't even started taxing on the flight out here. My man next to me shoes off, already.
Barefoot childhood.
That's the way to go, ockbar. That's the way that I thought about this one. Plenty of I grew up watching Eagles, plenty of ran Cunningham place in my mind to play against the Bills where he backed away from Bruce Smith. But they lost that game. Give me this one, Randall and Carl.
Monday Night, let us take it full.
I think so our producer is a long time Eagles fan. I think we're gonna take this one.
Let him out of General Dan show right there, Jimmy Giles to receive us.
Cunningham by all rights hit by Carl Bank it would have been down maintained as battles.
We talked about his athleticism and he fires in the corner.
Beautifully executed rollout ladies and gentlemen.
Randall Cunningham is a ready for prime time player.
I love Carl Banks, He's been on the show before. Sorry Carl, but this is I mean, every time I watch Randall highlights the one thing that I can't get. We haven't seen anybody like him, right, I mean, we've seen athletic guys, but like the style of play and how smooth he was. Just the way he moved his throwing motion and everything like that, that to me was football growing up, played on that incredibly hard astroturferce.
But that, to me was.
This.
This is setting up so beautifully because we got Randall Cunningham, Bo Jackson and Patrick Mahomes. Do you guys know who Mike Pantasas is. You're gonna see a kicker kick the ball through the uprights and a gentleman with hair is gonna come out of the stands hatch the ball. Mike Pensansas in nineteen ninety five was at Soldier Field from Monday Night Football and went full legend you're.
Gonna see the kick week two, early in the season.
It goes over the net and Mike Pantanzas jumps out of the stands and catches it and seemingly falls fifty feet to his death.
He jumped out, not only.
Timed it perfectly, soft hands, no gloves lands. And then the Monday Night football production was like, we have to find this guy, Lynn Swan, round him up and talk to this legend, and sure enough they did, tonytail.
Talk to the legends.
Follow the ball as it goes up the tunnel from the right side up your screen.
Watch this fellow jump out.
Of the stands into the tunnel.
He appears to be at least ten feet off the ground, if not more.
This is a don't try this, No, don't.
Try this, and like, you could have gotten yourself hurt jumping down like that.
I played defense, offense, I got great hands.
I played football my whole life. I love it, baby, all right.
So that's Mike Pensas's an absolute legend. A few years ago he was a guest on Good Morning Football Live from Chicago, Illinois. He was incredible. In the wake of this, he went on Letterman. He was He went on Letterman. You can't make it up. When he came out, Paul Schaeffer played Jump by Van Halen.
They did a whole interview.
He's still a legend to this day, still lives in Chicago, doesn't have the hair anymore, unfortunately, But I honestly, I think right now they might get more commitment in Souldier Field from him than DJ Moore.
But that's the way we're gonna go with that. Mike, did Mike you like my DJ Moore?
John?
I love the DJ Moore I loved about Mike Go. Did Mike walk so Austin Copa Bianco could run that?
The Yankees?
Who that's true?
I didn't think about that. Rake von Barkley's jump Gosh. Well, back on the State.
Nineteen seventy three, the James Bond film Man with the Golden Gun began filming. I Drew Martini that guy might need one jumping down from the stands. The James Bond movie title to best describe a team season is what Peter.
I'm gonna stick with that title there. Seventy three, Uh, the Man with the Golden Gun. I think this guy was born before seventy three, but he's still slinging it The Man with the Golden Gun, starring Matthew Stafford. What are some of these passes he was pulling out of his bag on Sunday against the Seahawks in overtime alone, he had two of the craziest passes of his career, one of them to Tyler Johnson that I still don't know how that was completed, throwing off his back foot where Tarik Wollen is all lined up to catch it, and Stafford somehow delivers. And look at his eyes here as he's able to just hire the deep one this one to two to two at well.
And then of course.
Let's go to the DeMarcus Robinson one handed touchdown Stafford, unbelievable touch.
The man with the Golden arm and the Golden gun.
That is my bond, not villain, my bond.
Hero of the day. I'm gonna go with Stafford.
Stafford, Okay, I'm gonna go nineteen ninety nine.
The world is not enough, and.
I'm gonna go with the Kansas City Chiefs. As the world is not enough. Why because two championships not enough.
They're going for three.
They're going for the three pete.
They're going for the trilogy.
And not only they're going for the trilogy, they're doing it while trying to be undefeated. Like they are greed. They want to have everything. They're gonna want to be undefeated. They're gonna want to get that third one. Patrick Mahomes also going for another Super Bowl MVP. I'm all in on this being being the theme for for the Kansas City Chiefs.
The world is not enough. I am going life to kill. And that is a Detroit lion right there.
Listen.
I gotta be honest. It's the only Bond movie I've ever seen, and I don't know if that's gonna sit well with some Bond folks because I don't know where it rans. It's the only one I've ever seen. No, I've seen other Connery movies. We want to talk about the prom Queen. But if you don't like it that they're running up the score, stop them.
Okay.
This team has the desire not only to beat you.
But to beat you bad, to kill you, license to kill. See what I did there.
Just when you think Mike, Mike will come out of nowhere with a wild movie take, Mike still thinks that Back to the Future three is the best one.
In the trilogy. He's never seen a.
Bond movie outside of the very average, and forget about Timothy Dalton Bond. Mike, I respect it. You're a wild man in that regard. I'm gonna go listen. I've seen I've not seen all of them, I've seen many. When Daniel Craig took over his Bond, he does Cassino Royale and it's mind blowing. It's incredible movie, Okay. And then the follow up is this bizarre word salad called Quantum of Solace, and I compare that to the forty nine Ers. I don't know what the hell this means. I don't know what the title means. I don't know what the movie means. I don't know what the forty nine ers are right now. It's a very strange sequel, of course, to one of their great seasons last year.
But no McCaffrey.
Daniel Craig was famously hurt on the set of this movie. It was very dangerous, total disaster. And again even the biggest Bond diehards all over read it are like, what.
Does Quantum of Solace mean?
I have no IDEA Phantom Menace makes more sense than Quantum of solace, and after two months of Niners football, I can't make a lot of sense of them. Now Ayuk is gone and McCaffrey is allegedly coming back, but we don't know for one hundred percent. It's very strange, very kind of sparkle and fade. But in the last act Quantum Sola's actually got pretty hot, amazing action set.
I like the female lead a big time.
There's a character in the movie call Strawberry Fields, like it actually went up kind of right, So maybe the Niners will too.
Yeah, looked at Skyfall and I was like, Cowboys, it just seems like the sky is falling there in Dallas. Might you you're with us, I think the rest of the week, but maybe when you do go back home, you can watch a Bond movie on the plane. I don't know what allegiance you have to which you know.
I got to talk to Kyle. I watched don too, I watched Doing one, but I watched Doom two.
On the way out here. I still have no idea what the hell is happening.
Because you were watching on a six inch screen on the back of somebody's head who was wearing those shoes.
But no shoes so much, Shood. Let's seize the.
Day with our guy, Omar maruiz Omar. Do you have a take on Mike Garrofolo saying he's never seen a single James Bond movie, or actually he's only seen License to.
Kill Well, I would say I grew up with the same Timothy Dalton ones, but I've since been a fan, so I would agree it's a wild take. But Mike is like that, He's one of those guys just like you, Kyle, the kind of naturally cracked me up. So I'm glad to see here, see him here in studio and enjoy those James Bond takes. But how we're gonna start more on that Thursday night game with the Ravens and the Bengals both looking up at this in the AFC North standings. When it comes to the Baltimore since he matchup Lamar Jackson and the Ravens have won three straight against the Bengals. When it comes to playing a division full on Thursday night, John Harbaugh says.
There is no advantage to knowing your opponent.
Definitely feels different on a short week for any opponent. I like the fact that you know if you play a team that you have a little more familiarity with, But that's a two edge sword too, because they have a lot of familiarity with us. So every game is different, you know, every.
Game is unique.
He's kind of take it as it comes, tack the circumstances as they present themselves, and that's what we'll try to do and do our best.
In other Ravens news, Baltimore acquiring cornerback tra Davius White, the former Bills star, but he came over from the Rams, and that also included a swap of late round picks. Now, White hasn't played since Week four. He's been considered a healthy scratch after the team gave him permission to seek a trade and still to come.
Peter has a beef with Patrick Mahome. Everybody had those jokes.
Mahome looked like the season was over. Then a couple of minutes later he's back warming and people's knee jerk reactions to that literally to his health status. He'll get into it more when Good Morning Football returns.
Good Morning Football, It's time for a segment we called What's Your Beef? Presented by old Trapper Beef Jerokey. It's something that's on your chest. You just want to get out and on a Wednesday, I have a beef. It's with all the injury experts out there and online. What do you mean is that even a profession injury expert? Is that a job title? Well, there are some actual doctors online who do this type of stuff, and that these aren't the guys I'm talking about.
This isn't targeted them.
It's my friends on my fantasy football text chain. It's the guy whose kid is in your son's fifth grade class, who all have takes.
On injuries in the moment. I want to take you back to Monday night.
It's pouring rain. It's around ten pm Eastern on the East Coast. I've got the kids in and I've got Baker and Mahomes going at it, blow for blow, pass or passing what looks like potentially the game of the year. Chiefs are down seventeen to ten, and Mahomes does what Mahomes does. He dances, he maneuvers, and he.
Throws this unorthodox, ill advised.
But awesome touch paster samaj p rhyme. But something's wrong. He goes down. Then he's off to the dreaded Blue tent. It's a lower leg injury. We know that that's fine. And if Lisasallters wants to come on and give us an update, I'm willing to listen. But that's when my phone began to light up with texts. ACL texted my friend Josh, who works as an accountant in New Jersey. Ough Achilles done for the year was the text from my college Palal Aaron.
Aaron works in marketing.
The game went to commercial Tampa wents three and out.
And guess who comes trotting out onto the field after this moment?
It's Patrick Mahomes.
And yes he had a slight limp, but you did not miss a snap.
And guess what he did.
He marched down the field on a fifteen play drive, doing Mahomes things and scoring a touchdown. So why does this anger me? Well, it doesn't really and I'm not angry. If anything, it's just an observation. Consider this a Larry David style annoyance. More than anything, I just wonder to everyone who texted someone with the word ACL or oh, that's an achilles in the moment, what's the win?
What's the win?
In speculating on sports injuries, what is the satisfaction that you get jumping to conclusions on the health of somebody else, like say, you're right, okay, Well that sucks. You're not gonna get a pat on the back for being accurate on your assumption. I'm based on the broadcast copy.
And if you're wrong, as everyone was on Monday, there's really nothing but a bizarre tweet from Monday night, still sitting in your timeline, showing that you're not only way over your skis, but that you're some terrible downer, Kyle.
We talk about this all the time, all the time.
The worst form of this is the person on Twitter with a blue check who just rushes to tweet two words whenever there's a bad injury.
Oh no, that's the tweet, Oh no, you're the worst. Next time, spare us. You're all im pooring gravitas of oh no, and stop being doctor. Drake Ramore on Twitter.
This trend, this social media trend of instant medical analysis by people who are not doctors, is worse than merely.
Saying not a doctor in real life when I play with on TV.
This is so much worse.
This is I'm not a doctor in real life.
I'm not a doctor on TV, but I like to.
Pretend one in the moment on social media because I just need to have everyone know that I've got my eyes.
And I know that injury.
There are some great sports doctors out there. Doctor Neil Ela Trosch's out in LA is a wizard. He has rebuilt careers. Doctor Anderson is the best in his field when it comes to foot injuries. If those guys want to rush to their phones and tweet seconds after an injury, I'll listen. I have a captive audience, but I don't need the guy who's got a gambling company sponsored podcast who once hit a parlay it had a viral tweet about.
His toast weighing on injuries. I'm good. That's my beef.
I think it's stemmed from a really good place on that we hate the injuries in the game.
We hate them.
I hate that entered player Stefan Diggs. I hate that he's out. So when you don't even know that he's out, and in fact sometimes they aren't out, the fact that they run right to tweeting about oh that's an ACL, that's an ACL, I know it.
I remember one time three or four years ago.
It was another time Mahomes got banged up and everyone was really worried that he was hurt, and all these doctors come out on Twitter and not real doctors want to be doctors, saying.
He's done, he's done, he's done.
Laurent Duvernet Tardiff was a teammate of Mahomes standing Rether, who was an actual body doctor, and he wasn't worried about it. But the people on with the gambling podcast were telling you that's definitely an ACL because I had one playing pick a ball a couple of years ago.
I know it's the worst. Don't tweet that, don't text, I don't know what the win is, but stop. It's really morbid too.
I'm gonna go off on a bit of a tangent here because Peter gave me an opening.
Peter, I want to know, did yesterday because this.
Was Monday night with the football game, but yesterday was the trade deadline. Did you happen to hear from Aaron and or Josh yesterday asking you what trades are coming the rest of the.
Day, Because Mike, they don't ask me.
They tell me I do this for a living, but they'll tell me that we which could be whatever team are getting X, and that X is a player, they'll tell me what's happening.
So, yes, that's a whole other grie.
I actually think Peter has some subtext here. Peter is actually saying he doesn't like when people call things before they're official, especially if they're really bad news.
Peter's that what.
You're trying to say is how you're trying to say, Peter.
Why don't we let these things play out before we do a celebration or tell the.
Audience what's gonna happen.
That's what I'll say.
All right, guys, I'm gonna show something. I'm just sending it over to the truck now. I have to take this time to apologize because Peter, I'm one of those guys.
Would you're right? My name is Achbarr. My name is Ack Bar, and I'm one of these guys.
Look, I love football, and sometimes I want to relate and not relate in a bad, sick way, like, oh, I've seen that before. That's an achilles. I almost but I had to call doctor David Child to put me in check. When I saw that, and I saw the way his ankle did that thing, I'm like, oh, I've had one. This is it because there's this rush to be first. I want to be first. I want to be the first one to say I saw it and you didn't see it, and I wrote this, I said, I'm no doctor. Oh but I know that lip by will Anderson and it doesn't look good.
Why did I do that? And I'm doing your last.
Thursday, and Peter, I realized that I've contributed to this toxic world, and I apologize, don't apologize.
You did something very important though you said I'm no doctor. Do you put it out there?
Yes? And what would have been worse was just a benign oh no.
Tweet like I've got this sympathetic heart, this one I'm okay with.
I'm okay with this one.
I would say I would probably stop the tweet after I'm no doctor if you have to.
Shouldn't be weighing on that. Ockubar. I like the healing begins here, Absolutely love it. And I also think if you're someone who does that, who says.
Oh, that's an achilles, that's it, and you're wrong, and they come back out, you're done. You're not allowed to do it ever again, and you should fess up. You people have tweeted about Mahomes the other night. You're dead wrong, you look stupid. Never tweet again.
Yeah, that's a hot and spicy take here. I feel like this was the best kind of beef jerky that associates with this. I'm also guilty of it, but I feel like I've been fooled so many times.
Like, oh, he's gotten up, I'm curious.
It's nothing fine, So, Peter, I'm glad you were able to get that off.
You sit it out, Just sit it out. No one is here, our injury takes. Just sit it out. Let's just wait till we get official.
I do love the fakes are born again Tweeter.
Now, yeah, baptized bargbar, you're you're fresh new and I'm going to delete it.
I'm going to come back and you'll never hear this type of tweeting from me ever.
Thank you, Good morn and football
