Speaker 1 (00:18):
Good Morning Football.
Speaker 2 (00:20):
This is Good Morning Football.
Speaker 1 (00:22):
Welcome inside.
Speaker 2 (00:22):
We are presented by old Trapper Beef Turkey. Live here
in LA and New York City, but Monday Night football
was in Pittsburgh last night. Cool by Acts over twenty nine.
This is Akbar Budjabamilla, Peter Schrager, Kyle Brandt holding it
down to New York. I'm Jamie r at all.
Speaker 1 (00:36):
Kyle. Quick question.
Speaker 2 (00:37):
We saw the great highlight at the very end of
the game of Russell Wilson and Justin Fields smiling with
each other, getting along. You know Justin Fields really well
from his time in Chicago. Is that like a friendship?
Those personalities messed to you at all?
Speaker 1 (00:51):
No, I mean that's a really unusual one. And I
don't really know how Justin Fields is actually feeling. He
kind of compartmentalizes his feelings. But I know the Steelers
are winning, and I can tell you about the feelings
of New York City right now. The Jets are having
a real tough time. Last night, the Giants had an
opportunity to pick us up, and Peter Schrager so did
the New York Yankees. So there's all kinds of positive
vibes going on. Here in the Big Apple, right, Peter.
Speaker 3 (01:13):
I've moved on what I was all in on on Jets.
I was all in on Giants, I was all in
on Mets, I was all in on Yankees. I have
now moved on to the Columbus Crew. Yeah, that is
not from New York. I'm done with the New York sports.
The Columbus Crew played tonight in the MLS Cup playoffs
(01:33):
against FC red Bull, which is over here, New York.
Speaker 1 (01:37):
I'm done with New York sports. I can't watch it anymore.
Swing the bats, yeah, come here, you're supposed to be
this big tower in six point eight. Swing the bat.
You're sending Stan, Yes, send them. Stan's a good, really
good runner. Let's go. All right, let's go to Pittsburgh.
(01:59):
Just want to No, no, no, let's do it. Let's
let's try to lift up the New York sports fans.
Surely Daniel Jones on Monday Night football against that guy
should be great. Herst tj Wide was my son's Halloween
costume last year. This year he's going to a special teams
coinair Danny Smith. That's constant. Yes, my son's going is
Danny Smith's friends to be jumping around yes, guess what
(02:20):
my son's name is, Calvin, Calvin Austin. There he goes
down the sideline. If you've been tracking the Russell Wilson Steelers,
it's only a couple of weeks. They make massive special
teams plays all over the field. And guess who it's
because of Wait wait, yeah, he has been showed him
working out shirtless last night, Danny Smith, the coordinator, and
(02:43):
there they are. Russell Wilson says, this is great. Justin
field is like, don't touch me. Afterwards, the Steelers win
six and two. Guys six and two, what a hell
of a record. And afterwards we heard from Russell Wilson
and unfortunately our guy who we really like, Giants head
coach Brian Dable.
Speaker 4 (03:01):
We got great confidence. You haven't done anything yet. You know,
we're obviously sitting here at six and two, which is
a great thing, but it doesn't mean anything. It doesn't
mean anything when we.
Speaker 1 (03:09):
Look back at it all.
Speaker 4 (03:10):
We got to be making sure that we're staying and
focused on the next task, and that's that's.
Speaker 5 (03:15):
To really be.
Speaker 4 (03:17):
Take care of our bodies, take care of our minds.
Enjoy this with your families and all that stuff. This
bye week because we got we've got a surge ahead
of us that we got to go get.
Speaker 6 (03:25):
You know, he played hard, played hard. I thought he
did a lot of good things, and you know, unfortunately
we just you know, at the end of the game
there we had a couple couple turnovers. But I thought
he you know, he played extremely hard, competitive, fiery, and
that's what you off from your quarterback.
Speaker 1 (03:46):
All right.
Speaker 2 (03:47):
So, like Kyle has continuously hit Steelers six and two
best eight games start for the Steelers since twenty twenty
when they started off eight to no on the season.
So the Steelers hit atop this division and op Bar
has often called it the UFC North, which now we're
seeing that they've lost it. Okay, well the Steelers because
they're beating up on everybody, well not within the division yet.
(04:07):
We shall see how the Steelers handle their business within
the division. Off far though the Giants, they held their own.
A lot of it had to do with the run game.
Speaker 7 (04:15):
Yeah, that run game was spectacular that first half we watched,
I mean just classic Steelers football. And of course it
all started with the course of naj Harris. Nag was
off the chick like he just went off in this game,
but I think it really helped them set up that
play action that we saw.
Speaker 1 (04:33):
But when you have a strong.
Speaker 7 (04:34):
Run game like this and you cannot be stopped, you
just keep going to it. In that first half, they
had like fourteen plays in that fourteenth play series. They
had like ten of them go for or excuse me,
they had fourteen of them that went for ten plus yards,
which was big.
Speaker 1 (04:48):
Like when you get rip.
Speaker 7 (04:48):
Big ones like that, that is demoralizing to a defense.
And I think that defense saw that they couldn't do anything.
And then Russell was like, Okay, cool, y'all can't stop
the run, how about this, I'm gonna dink it down top.
I'm gonna dink it up in down the middle. So
wherever they wanted to go, they could go. And of
course they had mishaps not being able to penal these
that took away some early touchdowns. So although it read
(05:10):
as it was a slow first half, it really was
a team that was dominating the Giants. There was no
chance that the Giants had in this game.
Speaker 1 (05:19):
Peter, what do you think you get into you get it,
you want me to get into it? You go? You
got your take, all right? So when Peter when Peter defers,
that means he's got something sweet in his pocket. This
is very simple. We showed the TJ. Watt package of it.
Watt and high Smith are absolutely terrifying. They really are.
And if you're Daniel Jones and you're trying to scrape
your season together, maybe your career together, the way that
(05:39):
they took over and eventually closed the game with its stripsack,
this is a sack earlier in the game. He does
the kick and all that stuff. You know, I was
saying this about the Cowboys yesterday. You can't just have
CD Lamb. I mean, it just seems like all they have. Well,
if you watch Highsmith in these games, he is so
good and so terrifying. I know there's some good pass
rushing tandems out there, and the Texans guys are really good.
(06:01):
Dexter Lawrence for the Giants is having this amazing singular season.
The tandem of the Steelers is really really good. And
you start to see now at six and two, like
that's gonna be a wild card tandem. That's gonna be
who knows what they are? Six and two, and I
think we're gonna have a tradition of good morning football
moving forward. Each and every week. After Russell Russell Wilson
plays well for the Steelers and they win, We're just
(06:22):
gonna have to keep running this back which Peter and
I ran after Mike Tomlin went against the grain to
start Russell Wilson instead of Justin Fields. This is how
we responded the next day after they'd be at the Jets.
I don't have a shot of how Mike Tomlin walked
into work today, but I have a feeling it was
probably like that that mister McMahon. I like that. Tom
(06:44):
was like, hold on, why did I put Russell Wilson in?
Because I'm believe for Mike Tomlin, and I know what
I'm doing.
Speaker 3 (06:50):
Is that little YACHTI meme when he comes out, little
YACHTI when he comes out and he.
Speaker 1 (06:54):
Did ohe oh yeah.
Speaker 3 (07:00):
That's the stage st that's the.
Speaker 1 (07:07):
That's guys, that's us for the rest of the year.
This quarterback changed. Remember when they were saying there's six
and two when they were four and two and everyone
was clutching pearls about benching Justin Fields as if Justin
Fields has three Super Bowl rings. Russell Wilson has been
very good. The team has been very good last night.
Mike Tomlin is straight up like just going Jim Halpert
right to the camera, just messing around on the sideline.
It's an amazing thing. And we will play that after
(07:29):
every Steelers Russell Wilson, Win, Peter, Are you ready for it?
I am ready for that. I enjoy that.
Speaker 3 (07:34):
And you know the little YACHTI mean there's been a
million different people, you know, super imposed over it and
photoshopped over It's constantly like this, but I think the
McMahon is perfect.
Speaker 1 (07:42):
It's really good.
Speaker 3 (07:43):
This walk like this, whatever that walk is, is the
opposite of what Giants fans are doing walking into work
this morning. This is this Thing's no joy for me
to do this because I think Daniel Jones is a
well liked guy. And the thing that Dabo will always
say and that you know, now this is the sixth
season I've talked to sources in the Giants building about.
Speaker 1 (07:59):
This guy is that he's just so tough.
Speaker 3 (08:01):
So at some point you've got to be able to
win a football.
Speaker 1 (08:04):
Game, too, and to do it under the lights. The
stats are insane.
Speaker 3 (08:07):
He is now one in fourteen in prime time as
a starting quarterback. At some point it's just not a coincidence.
At some point, you can blame the quarterback. For years,
it's been well, the offensive line is all banged up
for a while, the offensive coordinator calls the worst plays,
and then it went really nuclear, like over last off
season where it was, hey, we've got to get a
new new quarterback. It's got to be somebody else. But
here we are, We're eight weeks into the season. I'm
(08:29):
watching Jamis light it up against the Ravens. I'm watching
Mariota be thrown in on a moment's notice and be
able to move the ball up and down the field
of the Panthers and.
Speaker 1 (08:37):
Then the Giants.
Speaker 3 (08:38):
This is the same Daniel Jones game I've seen now
fifty times. It's He'll go eighteen to twenty five, nice
completion percentage, twundred yard score, absolutely no touchdowns, and we'll
have a backbreaking turnover at some point.
Speaker 1 (08:49):
It's the quarterback.
Speaker 3 (08:50):
So I think we knew it already going into this season.
I think we said it was make or break, but
with a twinkle in our eye, we knew that this
is it for Daniel Jones.
Speaker 1 (08:56):
Like if they get an.
Speaker 3 (08:58):
Opportunity to get a quarterback in the draft.
Speaker 1 (09:00):
That's what they will do. They'll move on.
Speaker 3 (09:03):
But it's a shame because fans, you look at the
NFC East and it's like the Commanders are having this
awesome miracle season, the Eagles have now won three straight
and are on their way, and the Cowboys just simply
own the Giants. So where does that put you as
a Giants fan? It puts you in the gutter yet
again for another season. It's kind of crazy that the
Giants and Jets might have the first and second pick
in the drafts.
Speaker 1 (09:22):
It might go that bad.
Speaker 3 (09:23):
Unless Carolina, you know, doesn't win any more games, like
it could go that direction. I just you know, to
hear that he's tough again and that you know he's
doing good things now. At some point, Daniel Jones can't
turn the ball over twice in crunch time and Daniel
Jones has to.
Speaker 1 (09:37):
Make a pass.
Speaker 3 (09:38):
It's the classic Daniel Jones third and seven, he completes
the pass for five yards and we're punting on fourth
and two and it's like he almost did it, but.
Speaker 1 (09:47):
He didn't do it enough.
Speaker 3 (09:48):
And credit to the Steelers forgetting to win at home
and moving on and they don't lose on Monday Night.
But I can tell you this, Daniel Jones certainly does
not win Monday Night.
Speaker 1 (09:55):
Thursday Night. For Sunday, they will be really fun. They
go they play Jane Daniels next week at home in
front of the Giants fans.
Speaker 3 (10:01):
In which they don't win, at which they never went
at home either.
Speaker 1 (10:03):
And you know, the GM's Sun was like, we should
get Jaden Daniels. I think said it on reality show.
And I'll come into New jersey'll be fun, Peter.
Speaker 2 (10:11):
I don't want to keep kind of like putting the
band aid back on and like tearing it off the skin.
Speaker 1 (10:15):
But I have to.
Speaker 2 (10:16):
Do just take us into New York just as an
experience right now, because to your point, Jeff's Giants, it's
not great Yankees, it's not great. This is oftentimes New
York is like the heartbeat the media market. It's like
what the nation? You hate to love it and you
love to hate them. What is it like? Is this
the earliest it's ever been this dire, or the earliest
(10:38):
people have been looking at the Knicks and the Rangers
to save their souls.
Speaker 1 (10:42):
There's a lot.
Speaker 3 (10:43):
Of lot of faith in Jalen Brunson, a lot of
hope in the New York Rangers and the Blue Shirts
that they can get it done. Look, it's just the
sad thing is Jamie's what's been the case for the
last several years. The Giants had one miracle season a
couple of years ago where Daniel Jones won a bunch
of games by one score and it was a fun
ride and they won a playoff game. But like you're
talking about a decade thirteen years for the since they've
(11:04):
been good, and then the Giants have had one good
year in a blip about a decade, and they're still
trotting out I mean, I joke about it, but they
still trot out that Super Bowl teams from the last
two two Bowl teams every halftime at these home games.
So you're honoring Kristni and Chon O'Hara every year, and
it's like, we want to start getting celebrated about these guys.
Speaker 1 (11:22):
But we like Dave Dial still. We liked we rock
with Dave deal since we hung our Shingle as a
program Good Morning Football in New York City, which Peter
and I are still sitting. The Jets and Giants have
not been averaged. They've been horrible Peter's pointing to they
won heroic wild card rin that Daniel Jones made one
hundred and some million dollars off of. But the teams
are never good and this was supposed to be the
(11:43):
year that was different, certainly for the Jets. Who's better
right now? The Giants are Jets. If they've played right now,
who would win? I actually think I would take The.
Speaker 3 (11:49):
Giants played last year one of the worst games you'll
ever see.
Speaker 1 (11:52):
They played last year in a rain soaked game.
Speaker 3 (11:55):
All it went to overtime and it was disgusting and
the Jets won. I mean, just bad football.
Speaker 7 (12:00):
And Peter, I know you're done with New York book,
like you do have to answer to who do you
think would win that?
Speaker 1 (12:05):
I actually want to know? They were tye six? Well,
can we start Drew Locke as then the Giants would win.
Speaker 3 (12:11):
Yeah, Drew Locke and Tyrod Taylor I'd watch.
Speaker 2 (12:14):
I'm just glad that fed up Rope here to get
his Columbus Crew jersey in time for the day.
Speaker 1 (12:20):
You know, I'm part of the crew.
Speaker 6 (12:22):
I like it.
Speaker 2 (12:23):
We're going to turn your back on the Red Bulls,
really sticking it to the man, all right, Tom Pella Sarah,
good morning to you. Welcome inside GMFB. What do we
need to discuss h looking ahead the week nine?
Speaker 8 (12:36):
Well, Jamie, no such quarterback issues for oh, I don't know,
three decades or so. In Green Bay, where the Packers
once again appear to have avoided a bad scenario with
their quarterback Jordan Love. He came out of Sunday's game
after initially trying to push through following tweaking his groin
in the early stages. There was optimism after the game
that it was nothing major. That was confirmed on an
(12:58):
MRI on Monday. He is considered to be day to
day at this point. He will undergo treatment this week.
They got a huge game on Sunday for first place
in the NFC North against the Lions. If he's able
to go, if he's able to protect himself, Love will
be out there. If not, then it would be Malik
Willis once again trying to deliver a win in relief.
There's also a question right now about the Colts quarterback
(13:21):
for Sunday Night Football. Anthony Richardson, coming off of another
fairly rough day, had one big touchdown pass through a
lot of incompletions through a three hundred and twenty pound
man off him on this play and then tapped himself out.
Players spoke up about that on Monday, saying that in
Ryan Kelly's case, it was a rough look for Anthony Richardson,
(13:41):
and when pressed on Monday, Shane Steiken said that they
were evaluating everything with regard to the possibility of a
quarterback change. The thing to remember with Anthony Richardson, he's
the fourth overall pick in the twenty twenty three draft.
He has played a grand total of ten NFL games
because of injuries. This was the guy they knew needed
to play, that there were going to be a lot
of growing pains. What Stiken and company have to evaluate
(14:03):
is can they continue to go through those growing pains
at a time that they are very much in the thick.
Speaker 5 (14:09):
Of the AFC South race.
Speaker 8 (14:11):
So are the Texans who remain atop that division, but
the injuries are mounting for them at the wide receiver position.
Of course, no Nico Collins, he remains on injured reserve.
Then Stefan Diggs went down on Sunday with that right there,
a non contact knee injury. Jamiko Ryan said on Monday
they are continuing to evaluate the injury for Diggs. I
(14:31):
would tell you it is fair to say that there
is significant concern about Stefan Diggs. What we know as
of right now is Diggs was listed as a non
participant on the estimated injury report on Monday. Hard to
imagine he's playing Thursday night football against the Jets and
quite possibly beyond.
Speaker 1 (14:52):
Welcome back to GMFB. It's Tuesday. We do we injury out.
We bring no poom. I don't know if you saw it.
Speaker 3 (14:57):
Our guys AJ, Big Justice and the Rizzler on Jimmy
fallon last night.
Speaker 1 (15:02):
Cele great.
Speaker 9 (15:03):
You guys bring the brilliant. We love when you bring them.
Good am I doing the faces? That is incredible. Yeah,
so they have hit the mainstream. We talked about it
last week on the show. We are always one week ahead.
Speaker 3 (15:17):
Let's get into weir and this one is football related.
You guys tell us if you agree with the statement
or not. We're at the midway point of the NFL season.
I know it sounds crazy, but we are at the
midway point at the NFL season.
Speaker 1 (15:30):
Sometimes have had their buys. Thank god, others are getting
into them right now. You know me out with this statement.
Speaker 3 (15:37):
Dan Campbell's the Coach of the Year twenty four season.
Speaker 1 (15:40):
Okbar your thoughts. It's a great start.
Speaker 7 (15:44):
I love what Dan Campbell is doing, but I'm out
on this. I've got Kevin O'Connell, who I think should be,
you know, considered for coach of the year, especially when
you think about everything last year. They you know, they
were seven to ten, they finished seven to ten. They
lose their starting quarterback and Kirk Cousin. They get to
Sam Darnold, and then they draft this other guy, you know,
Jay J. McCarthy, and then he gets hurt. All this adversity,
(16:07):
and yet they find a way to start the season
five and zero despite all of that, and they continue
to make changes. I know they're coming off of a
losing streak, losing two games against the Rams and the Lions,
but this is still a very good coaching job by
Kevin O'Connell. Taking Sam Donald. We're talking about Sam Donald
and making him a star, and I mean and they
are in a very very tough division as well.
Speaker 1 (16:30):
I say this a lot this year. Out of thirty
two teams, there is only one team that for three
straight years have had the same coach and two coordinators,
and it's the Detroit Lions. And you know what, I
hate to say it against my guy, but that's the
case against Dan Campbell. It's like when there's this incredible
director and then the film snobs are like, no, it's
the DP. The director of photography really carried that film.
Is Dan Campbell the product of two great coordinators? I mean,
(16:51):
of course they have a huge contribution. I'm going to
be out on this though, Peter. I think that Dan
Campbell has an unbelievable roster that they've been building and
strengthening for a few years. The Washington Commanders are sick two.
They're six and two, the Washington Commanders. This is like
last year we used to say the Lions are good,
the Commanders are good. And I'm going with DQ. I'm
(17:13):
going with Dan Quinn right now. I had a coach
of the Year. I will go I know that Jaydon
is a sensation. The rest of that roster is not spectacular,
and their record is I'm going to go with d
qw our guy, we go way back with them as
the coach of the year.
Speaker 2 (17:27):
Dang it, Kyle, that's a really good one. And now
I don't even want to give my because I'm kind
of convinced by that one, but I want I'm out
on this too, and I want to tea mine up
only because like sometimes it's just really fun to be
like super right, and like I like being right sometimes.
My head coach of the Year prediction I think still
might range true. It was Matt Lafleur. I teet him
up for the Packers to go to Brazil start their season.
(17:50):
They lose Jordan Love, they come back. I wanted to
see the picture of me showing mattla Flour's name, but
we don't have. Oh, there it is, okay, there, it
is Matt Lafloor. September second. I had it as my
Coach of the Year prediction, and I think it's still
hanging in there because the Packers have had some speed
bumped and if they because of this question, and because
of Akbar saying Kevin O'Connell, and because of the question
(18:11):
in itself being Dan Campbell, if the Packers somehow bubble
up to the surface with this division, I think he
would earn Coach of the Year.
Speaker 1 (18:17):
Because of that.
Speaker 3 (18:19):
There's a huge game coming up and we'll see as
Packers can start jockeying for position they play the Lions soon.
So I am just going to put it out there
name that I think is worthy of consideration. And I
know what they've got and I know who they've got
a quarterback, but Andy Reid, yarre undefeated, They've dealt with
(18:40):
a ton of adversity, They've lost a lot of players.
Speaker 1 (18:43):
I know.
Speaker 3 (18:43):
It's he's not going to win. It's like when Tom
Brady used to not win MVP. It's bye his team
being the squad like alkbar.
Speaker 1 (18:49):
What do you think you animated? But like we're O'Connell
over Andy Reid.
Speaker 7 (18:53):
You know what I was Literally those are the two
guys that was stuck with and I'm going, okay, people
going to be like.
Speaker 1 (18:58):
Oh Andy Reid.
Speaker 7 (18:59):
And it's almost like I didn't say Andy Reid only
because I feel like he's had so much success, and
it's like spread the love to other people, you know
what I mean. But that was the only reason. But yeah,
you're right, he's doing an amazing job. Why shouldn't he
be Coach of the Year. If it was just plain
x's and old winning, we're going off of who can
be productive and getting the w's. It's Andy Reid for sure.
(19:20):
At this point of the season.
Speaker 1 (19:21):
You want to really really spicy one. Okay, okay, if
you see what the value that a coach brings to
a team and maybe how they would be without him.
He is the coach of the year, Robert Sala of
the New York Jets, Robert Sala and the team hasn't
won a game without him, and they just lost the Patriots.
And put this way, they played the Patriots with them,
they destroyed them. They played the Patriots without him, they lost.
(19:42):
Robert Salom I coach of the year, tweeted out seventy
two point five. I don't care. Let's go.
Speaker 3 (19:46):
Let's go, just to close the loop on your prediction
from the summer, which was good, Jamie. On September second,
we do have all four of our predictions.
Speaker 1 (19:55):
Let's see how we fared. Is what we had, all right.
Speaker 3 (19:59):
Jamie, you have batt Lafleur, as we said, Kyle.
Speaker 1 (20:01):
Rahie Morris looking good. It looks great place. John mar
he's in it. He's hold yeah. And look I still feel.
Speaker 3 (20:11):
Good with Mike we Donald if they win the NFC West.
So none of us fell on our faces, none of
us said this is the year just passing a shadow,
and everybody like that.
Speaker 1 (20:24):
We none of us embarrassed ourselves. I feel pretty good.
We none of us had Nathaniel Hackett as the Broncos
coach like you did. That's okay, that happened. Also had
Sean Payton last year. You love those Broncos coaches. Peyton
might be this year. I mean, come on, the Broncos
are really good. Are really good?
Speaker 3 (20:40):
First time we mentioned the Broncos this year on the show.
So let's get to the next segment. We are two
days away from Halloween and Miles Garrett was amazing on Sunday.
Speaker 1 (20:48):
Not in the field. He's fine on the field.
Speaker 3 (20:51):
I'm talking about in his lead up to the game.
You mentioned this yesterday, Monster FX or Hollywood FX this
there's a full motion graphics makeup company did this. Adam
Schecker had the tweet where he worked with an entire
Hollywood studio to put together this costume that is Miles
(21:13):
Garrett under a Terminator two costume.
Speaker 1 (21:16):
Unbelievable.
Speaker 3 (21:18):
Arnold Schwarzenegger then saw this and him himself, Arnold on
the Keys.
Speaker 1 (21:23):
Arnold, he definitely tweeted.
Speaker 3 (21:25):
This was him, not a social media assistant, not a
twenty five year old.
Speaker 1 (21:29):
Person who wrote seventy something. Schwarzenegger tweeted that ten ten
no notes, it's my least favorite tweet of twenty twenty four.
Donold did that? Come on? Give it to Arnold.
Speaker 3 (21:40):
He's definitely definitely shout out to Patrick Schwarzenegger, his son,
who I love as an actor as well.
Speaker 1 (21:46):
So here we go.
Speaker 3 (21:48):
In or out adults, grown men and women who go.
Speaker 1 (21:53):
All out for Halloween.
Speaker 3 (21:56):
Akbar, we interne out on these folks.
Speaker 7 (21:57):
I am all in on this, and for a couple
of reasons. One, I did not get a chance to
dress up as a young kid because we didn't celebrate
Halloween growing up, so I never had a chance to
celebrate the and do all the dressing up. Secondly, Miles
Garrett just proved the point that you can go out
there and come out and terminate the best team in
the AFC with the Baltimore Ravens or they were the
(22:18):
best team in the AFC. So I'm all in for this.
It's a lot of fun too.
Speaker 1 (22:21):
You get to you know enough with Miles Garrett.
Speaker 3 (22:26):
Take it to your house, you go to a theme party,
you got down a bed, let's talk bar, let's play
this out in your head.
Speaker 1 (22:30):
You you go to a.
Speaker 3 (22:31):
Cocktail party, go to a dinner party and it's a
Halloween theme. Take us through the LA social scene and
what your experience has been at these Halloween party.
Speaker 7 (22:39):
Okay, so at the Halloween party, I dressed up this JC.
Speaker 10 (22:42):
You know last year I dressed up this JC and say, yeah,
young Hoven, the house is so necessary?
Speaker 1 (22:47):
So why you hating on me?
Speaker 10 (22:49):
Is that necessary?
Speaker 1 (22:50):
You know?
Speaker 10 (22:50):
I come in my day, the whole night, oh the
whole night, talking like that, I would say, yo, Wesby,
you know yeah, Like that's how you got to do Like,
if you don't come up and show up for Halloween.
Speaker 1 (23:02):
You gotta do it. You got to do it big.
I'm all in for it. I'm in, all right, all right,
yeah's next.
Speaker 2 (23:09):
I'm out because happened. There's two things in the last
four twenty four hours on the show have made my
like my sternum kind.
Speaker 1 (23:21):
Of like like this.
Speaker 2 (23:22):
It's the pregame speeches is too much for me right now.
And then adults doing the full blown Halloween I can't
do it. It makes me uncomfortable. We do it on
the show and it's I get there, but like it's
it's a lot, it's a lot for me.
Speaker 1 (23:36):
I like to be comfortable.
Speaker 2 (23:39):
The thing over the face and the mass and the deal.
It's not for me.
Speaker 1 (23:42):
I'm out.
Speaker 2 (23:42):
I'm a party poop.
Speaker 6 (23:44):
Sorry.
Speaker 1 (23:45):
So Peter's on the right track here. What starts is
you get an email that you're invited to a Halloween
party six weeks from now, and you're like, oh, man,
here you go. You look to your wife, if you
have one, your husband, what are we gonna do? And
I swear there was a time when you could just
kind of show up and just have like a zany
cost you know what. You'd have one of those things
(24:05):
where there's an arrow going through your head and that's fine.
Hard yeah. Or you go to the Spirit Halloween and
you get the Austin Powers costume in a bag, but
it's called sexy Spy. Are you feeling random? But baby,
but not Austin Power. No, no sexy Spy. And that
was fine. And that time that I'm referring to is
the time before Instagram, where now you're not doing it
(24:27):
for the party, you're not doing it for your friends,
you're not doing it for your wife or husband. You're
doing it for your thirteen hundred and four followers. So
they can say, oh MG, you just won Halloween and
it's I mean, it's like these people. I've seen people
who are just not Miles Garrett. I mean they're spending
five thousand dollars on their Halloween costume this last weekend.
It was going on because they're a Halloween party Saturday night.
(24:48):
I'm seeing friends of mine who I'm like, I know
what they do, and I'm like, Jesus, I just spend
three car payments on your Halloween costume to go to
a campfire party with six people and one idiot playing
Wonderwall and guitar and you're dumb costumes. It's way too much.
If you, Miles Garrett, do whatever the hell you want.
But guys, I wish we could just go back to
(25:09):
just normalcy a little bit. I'm a ghost, I'm a
lamb wire, I have blood going now. No, it's it's
crazy now, you know, it is really bloated, and it's
for Instagram.
Speaker 7 (25:19):
What's the easy thing to do is stay within your lane.
Like for me, I just say, who can I imitate? Like,
all right, I'm dressed up as Michael Michael Jordan used
to be my onet all the time. I put on
some Jay's some Chicago bullstuff.
Speaker 1 (25:29):
I'm like, but that's not going all out.
Speaker 2 (25:31):
I think what Kyle's talking about is just like like
the Miles Garrett thing. It's like he has a whole
deal on his face in his head, Like wearing a
jersey is different than like getting a Hollywood guy into
Cleveland to do his Maybe.
Speaker 3 (25:42):
Like I see Miles Garrett, I see Miles Garrett walking
to the tunnel, and I'm like, that is awesome. If
I see someone at a Halloween party, like neighborhood friends
walking in like that, I'm like, you're a weirdo, strange,
Like you need another hobby. You need to collect coupons
and stamps and baseball cards.
Speaker 1 (25:58):
This is cool. What is wrong? What is right?
Speaker 3 (26:01):
Let's sit down and talk about it, Like, what is wrong?
Speaker 1 (26:04):
Are you trying to guess I'm going to show up
to your house. I'm going to show it to all
dressed up. I'm I'm not going to be home.
Speaker 3 (26:12):
That's true. I am excited to see our costumes on Thursday.
Speaker 1 (26:17):
Spoiler alert. We will be dressing up, we will.
Speaker 3 (26:20):
Be going all out, and we will not be weird.
Speaker 1 (26:22):
We'll be very cool.
Speaker 5 (26:23):
I'll be weird.
Speaker 1 (26:24):
That's it. I'll be weird. I'll be weird, but it's fun.
Speaker 2 (26:37):
Only we are finding him in fastball rouge on the
campus of LSU, Scott the morning to our resident GM
that we always rely on in times like this, Scott,
last year you were doing this exact report from LSU
singing the praises of Jade and Daniels.
Speaker 1 (26:51):
Well, wasn't that.
Speaker 2 (26:52):
Fitting because look at what he's done halfway through his
rookie season, Jamie.
Speaker 11 (26:56):
It's really pretty incredible. But yeah, I'm not surprised.
Speaker 5 (26:58):
Again.
Speaker 11 (26:59):
I was down here last year and I watched Jayden.
As a matter of fact, I got in here last
year is around five point fifteen, and Jaden was coming
out of meetings doing his virtual reality work. And this
was a consistent thing that he did while he was
down here at LSU. So it doesn't surprise me at
all because everything that I understand and know is he's
continue with that kind of preparation. He's doing it not
(27:20):
just with himself and for himself, but he's waking up
Cliff Kingsbury, getting him in the office early, He's getting
other players to come in with him early, just like
he did with Maliite Neighbors last year at LSU and
Brian Thomas, two guys whose careers took off. So it's
his preparation. The way that he goes about being a professional.
Speaker 5 (27:38):
That doesn't surprise me at all because what he's doing.
Speaker 11 (27:40):
You know, one of dan Quinn's favorite lines is keep
the main thing the main thing.
Speaker 5 (27:44):
Jaden is keeping the main thing the main thing. And
it's interesting.
Speaker 11 (27:47):
You know, I've spent the last day here and talking
to a bunch of the players that played here with Jaden.
They still talk about him and the legacy that he
left here in terms of how it's forcing them to
understand what it's like to be a professional or to
try to be a professional. So I'm not surprised to
see how Jayden Daniels started the season at all.
Speaker 7 (28:06):
Yeah, I'm not surprised either from the main thing to
the other thing. On the flip side, we saw in
that play Tyreek Stevenson. I know he's getting criticized a
lot for tawning fans during that Hell Mary, how is
something like that handled in house because I know he's
getting beat up in the media.
Speaker 11 (28:24):
Yeah, you know, it's one of those things. I mean,
we all get it. It was a bad play. It
was a really bad play, and it was a really
bad look. But let's remember one play does not define
a player's career. And I think, you know, I go
back to one of my favorite sings, and I know
that Ryan Poles and Blues.
Speaker 5 (28:38):
You know, they are.
Speaker 11 (28:38):
Really smart guys. They're passionate guys, but they're also thoughtful people.
One of my favorite sings is each one of us
is so much more than the worst thing.
Speaker 5 (28:46):
That we've done.
Speaker 11 (28:46):
Brian Stevenson said that, and this is this guy is
so much more than the worst thing he did.
Speaker 5 (28:51):
I mean, we've seen it. It's a bad look.
Speaker 11 (28:53):
But again, you have to go back to this whole
circumstance in the situation.
Speaker 5 (28:56):
How this started.
Speaker 11 (28:58):
Washington started that drive on their own twenty four with
nineteen seconds left.
Speaker 5 (29:02):
They ran three plays. They called the time in between.
Speaker 11 (29:05):
Everyone's talking about the play before the play, but there
was the play before the play before the play, right,
they had eleven yard completion, they had a thirteen yard
completion that put him in position. So the thing is,
the reality is it's never just one play. Was that
play awful? Yes, he understands that he's a pro. He's
already holding himself accountable. So I think what has to
happen within is hey make the point the player made
(29:28):
a huge mistake.
Speaker 5 (29:29):
That and other things cost them the game. But now
what they.
Speaker 11 (29:32):
Need to do is move forward because they've got a
talented young player Scotty.
Speaker 7 (29:36):
P The Steelers are six and two, and are these
guys real?
Speaker 1 (29:39):
And the top of the AFC and tell the tellos,
are we seeing things or is this the real Is
this the real deal?
Speaker 5 (29:44):
He he's so good to see.
Speaker 6 (29:45):
Man.
Speaker 11 (29:45):
No, I think what they are right now is I
think they are a good team right now.
Speaker 5 (29:49):
Here's what I do know.
Speaker 11 (29:50):
I'm not sure how they're going to finish, but I
do know that Mike Tomlin is one heck of a
football coach. And I know it hasn't started yet, but
it seems like every year there's people out there being
critical of Mike Tomlin. But here's a guy who's in
his eighteenth NFL season. He's coach the most seasons in
NFL history without having a losing record. He's got seventeen
on him, seventeen under his belt. He's on his way
(30:13):
to his eighteenth. And when you look the names on
that list, George Allen, John Matt and Vince Lombardi. And
this is an incredible career. And I know people love
to go back and say, oh, well he had a
Hall of Famed quarterback. Well, his career record without Ben
Roethlisberger is forty three point thirty two and one. So,
in other words, that's about a fifty seven percent win percentage.
And when you take the records of Kyle Shanahan and
(30:34):
Sean McVay, two terrific young coaches that everyone always talks about,
their career combined records is also.
Speaker 5 (30:40):
Fifty seven percent combined.
Speaker 11 (30:42):
So to me, again, I just love to give this
guy so much respect. The Steelers have had twelve different
quarterbacks since Tomlin took over as the head coach in
two thousand and seven, and all this guy does is
when I have a huge respect for Mike Tomlin and
the job that he consistently does.
Speaker 2 (30:57):
And as Kyle says, doing the Vincemickman walk as he
comes into the building and he makes a decision like that,
he's like, yeah.
Speaker 1 (31:02):
I can do that.
Speaker 2 (31:03):
Any coach Fieldham's el just can look at the camera
and give it the thumbs up and be like, yeah,
I can do my job just fine. Scotti only thanks
so much. We appreciate you from anywhere in the country.
He brings us the insight as a resident gm on GMFP.
Speaker 1 (31:15):
Bye Scott, Scott, thank you.
Good Morning Football.
Speaker 2 (00:20):
This is Good Morning Football.
Speaker 1 (00:22):
Welcome inside.
Speaker 2 (00:22):
We are presented by old Trapper Beef Turkey. Live here
in LA and New York City, but Monday Night football
was in Pittsburgh last night. Cool by Acts over twenty nine.
This is Akbar Budjabamilla, Peter Schrager, Kyle Brandt holding it
down to New York. I'm Jamie r at all.
Speaker 1 (00:36):
Kyle. Quick question.
Speaker 2 (00:37):
We saw the great highlight at the very end of
the game of Russell Wilson and Justin Fields smiling with
each other, getting along. You know Justin Fields really well
from his time in Chicago. Is that like a friendship?
Those personalities messed to you at all?
Speaker 1 (00:51):
No, I mean that's a really unusual one. And I
don't really know how Justin Fields is actually feeling. He
kind of compartmentalizes his feelings. But I know the Steelers
are winning, and I can tell you about the feelings
of New York City right now. The Jets are having
a real tough time. Last night, the Giants had an
opportunity to pick us up, and Peter Schrager so did
the New York Yankees. So there's all kinds of positive
vibes going on. Here in the Big Apple, right, Peter.
Speaker 3 (01:13):
I've moved on what I was all in on on Jets.
I was all in on Giants, I was all in
on Mets, I was all in on Yankees. I have
now moved on to the Columbus Crew. Yeah, that is
not from New York. I'm done with the New York sports.
The Columbus Crew played tonight in the MLS Cup playoffs
(01:33):
against FC red Bull, which is over here, New York.
Speaker 1 (01:37):
I'm done with New York sports. I can't watch it anymore.
Swing the bats, yeah, come here, you're supposed to be
this big tower in six point eight. Swing the bat.
You're sending Stan, Yes, send them. Stan's a good, really
good runner. Let's go. All right, let's go to Pittsburgh.
(01:59):
Just want to No, no, no, let's do it. Let's
let's try to lift up the New York sports fans.
Surely Daniel Jones on Monday Night football against that guy
should be great. Herst tj Wide was my son's Halloween
costume last year. This year he's going to a special teams
coinair Danny Smith. That's constant. Yes, my son's going is
Danny Smith's friends to be jumping around yes, guess what
(02:20):
my son's name is, Calvin, Calvin Austin. There he goes
down the sideline. If you've been tracking the Russell Wilson Steelers,
it's only a couple of weeks. They make massive special
teams plays all over the field. And guess who it's
because of Wait wait, yeah, he has been showed him
working out shirtless last night, Danny Smith, the coordinator, and
(02:43):
there they are. Russell Wilson says, this is great. Justin
field is like, don't touch me. Afterwards, the Steelers win
six and two. Guys six and two, what a hell
of a record. And afterwards we heard from Russell Wilson
and unfortunately our guy who we really like, Giants head
coach Brian Dable.
Speaker 4 (03:01):
We got great confidence. You haven't done anything yet. You know,
we're obviously sitting here at six and two, which is
a great thing, but it doesn't mean anything. It doesn't
mean anything when we.
Speaker 1 (03:09):
Look back at it all.
Speaker 4 (03:10):
We got to be making sure that we're staying and
focused on the next task, and that's that's.
Speaker 5 (03:15):
To really be.
Speaker 4 (03:17):
Take care of our bodies, take care of our minds.
Enjoy this with your families and all that stuff. This
bye week because we got we've got a surge ahead
of us that we got to go get.
Speaker 6 (03:25):
You know, he played hard, played hard. I thought he
did a lot of good things, and you know, unfortunately
we just you know, at the end of the game
there we had a couple couple turnovers. But I thought
he you know, he played extremely hard, competitive, fiery, and
that's what you off from your quarterback.
Speaker 1 (03:46):
All right.
Speaker 2 (03:47):
So, like Kyle has continuously hit Steelers six and two
best eight games start for the Steelers since twenty twenty
when they started off eight to no on the season.
So the Steelers hit atop this division and op Bar
has often called it the UFC North, which now we're
seeing that they've lost it. Okay, well the Steelers because
they're beating up on everybody, well not within the division yet.
(04:07):
We shall see how the Steelers handle their business within
the division. Off far though the Giants, they held their own.
A lot of it had to do with the run game.
Speaker 7 (04:15):
Yeah, that run game was spectacular that first half we watched,
I mean just classic Steelers football. And of course it
all started with the course of naj Harris. Nag was
off the chick like he just went off in this game,
but I think it really helped them set up that
play action that we saw.
Speaker 1 (04:33):
But when you have a strong.
Speaker 7 (04:34):
Run game like this and you cannot be stopped, you
just keep going to it. In that first half, they
had like fourteen plays in that fourteenth play series. They
had like ten of them go for or excuse me,
they had fourteen of them that went for ten plus yards,
which was big.
Speaker 1 (04:48):
Like when you get rip.
Speaker 7 (04:48):
Big ones like that, that is demoralizing to a defense.
And I think that defense saw that they couldn't do anything.
And then Russell was like, Okay, cool, y'all can't stop
the run, how about this, I'm gonna dink it down top.
I'm gonna dink it up in down the middle. So
wherever they wanted to go, they could go. And of
course they had mishaps not being able to penal these
that took away some early touchdowns. So although it read
(05:10):
as it was a slow first half, it really was
a team that was dominating the Giants. There was no
chance that the Giants had in this game.
Speaker 1 (05:19):
Peter, what do you think you get into you get it,
you want me to get into it? You go? You
got your take, all right? So when Peter when Peter defers,
that means he's got something sweet in his pocket. This
is very simple. We showed the TJ. Watt package of it.
Watt and high Smith are absolutely terrifying. They really are.
And if you're Daniel Jones and you're trying to scrape
your season together, maybe your career together, the way that
(05:39):
they took over and eventually closed the game with its stripsack,
this is a sack earlier in the game. He does
the kick and all that stuff. You know, I was
saying this about the Cowboys yesterday. You can't just have
CD Lamb. I mean, it just seems like all they have. Well,
if you watch Highsmith in these games, he is so
good and so terrifying. I know there's some good pass
rushing tandems out there, and the Texans guys are really good.
(06:01):
Dexter Lawrence for the Giants is having this amazing singular season.
The tandem of the Steelers is really really good. And
you start to see now at six and two, like
that's gonna be a wild card tandem. That's gonna be
who knows what they are? Six and two, and I
think we're gonna have a tradition of good morning football
moving forward. Each and every week. After Russell Russell Wilson
plays well for the Steelers and they win, We're just
(06:22):
gonna have to keep running this back which Peter and
I ran after Mike Tomlin went against the grain to
start Russell Wilson instead of Justin Fields. This is how
we responded the next day after they'd be at the Jets.
I don't have a shot of how Mike Tomlin walked
into work today, but I have a feeling it was
probably like that that mister McMahon. I like that. Tom
(06:44):
was like, hold on, why did I put Russell Wilson in?
Because I'm believe for Mike Tomlin, and I know what
I'm doing.
Speaker 3 (06:50):
Is that little YACHTI meme when he comes out, little
YACHTI when he comes out and he.
Speaker 1 (06:54):
Did ohe oh yeah.
Speaker 3 (07:00):
That's the stage st that's the.
Speaker 1 (07:07):
That's guys, that's us for the rest of the year.
This quarterback changed. Remember when they were saying there's six
and two when they were four and two and everyone
was clutching pearls about benching Justin Fields as if Justin
Fields has three Super Bowl rings. Russell Wilson has been
very good. The team has been very good last night.
Mike Tomlin is straight up like just going Jim Halpert
right to the camera, just messing around on the sideline.
It's an amazing thing. And we will play that after
(07:29):
every Steelers Russell Wilson, Win, Peter, Are you ready for it?
I am ready for that. I enjoy that.
Speaker 3 (07:34):
And you know the little YACHTI mean there's been a
million different people, you know, super imposed over it and
photoshopped over It's constantly like this, but I think the
McMahon is perfect.
Speaker 1 (07:42):
It's really good.
Speaker 3 (07:43):
This walk like this, whatever that walk is, is the
opposite of what Giants fans are doing walking into work
this morning. This is this Thing's no joy for me
to do this because I think Daniel Jones is a
well liked guy. And the thing that Dabo will always
say and that you know, now this is the sixth
season I've talked to sources in the Giants building about.
Speaker 1 (07:59):
This guy is that he's just so tough.
Speaker 3 (08:01):
So at some point you've got to be able to
win a football.
Speaker 1 (08:04):
Game, too, and to do it under the lights. The
stats are insane.
Speaker 3 (08:07):
He is now one in fourteen in prime time as
a starting quarterback. At some point it's just not a coincidence.
At some point, you can blame the quarterback. For years,
it's been well, the offensive line is all banged up
for a while, the offensive coordinator calls the worst plays,
and then it went really nuclear, like over last off
season where it was, hey, we've got to get a
new new quarterback. It's got to be somebody else. But
here we are, We're eight weeks into the season. I'm
(08:29):
watching Jamis light it up against the Ravens. I'm watching
Mariota be thrown in on a moment's notice and be
able to move the ball up and down the field
of the Panthers and.
Speaker 1 (08:37):
Then the Giants.
Speaker 3 (08:38):
This is the same Daniel Jones game I've seen now
fifty times. It's He'll go eighteen to twenty five, nice
completion percentage, twundred yard score, absolutely no touchdowns, and we'll
have a backbreaking turnover at some point.
Speaker 1 (08:49):
It's the quarterback.
Speaker 3 (08:50):
So I think we knew it already going into this season.
I think we said it was make or break, but
with a twinkle in our eye, we knew that this
is it for Daniel Jones.
Speaker 1 (08:56):
Like if they get an.
Speaker 3 (08:58):
Opportunity to get a quarterback in the draft.
Speaker 1 (09:00):
That's what they will do. They'll move on.
Speaker 3 (09:03):
But it's a shame because fans, you look at the
NFC East and it's like the Commanders are having this
awesome miracle season, the Eagles have now won three straight
and are on their way, and the Cowboys just simply
own the Giants. So where does that put you as
a Giants fan? It puts you in the gutter yet
again for another season. It's kind of crazy that the
Giants and Jets might have the first and second pick
in the drafts.
Speaker 1 (09:22):
It might go that bad.
Speaker 3 (09:23):
Unless Carolina, you know, doesn't win any more games, like
it could go that direction. I just you know, to
hear that he's tough again and that you know he's
doing good things now. At some point, Daniel Jones can't
turn the ball over twice in crunch time and Daniel
Jones has to.
Speaker 1 (09:37):
Make a pass.
Speaker 3 (09:38):
It's the classic Daniel Jones third and seven, he completes
the pass for five yards and we're punting on fourth
and two and it's like he almost did it, but.
Speaker 1 (09:47):
He didn't do it enough.
Speaker 3 (09:48):
And credit to the Steelers forgetting to win at home
and moving on and they don't lose on Monday Night.
But I can tell you this, Daniel Jones certainly does
not win Monday Night.
Speaker 1 (09:55):
Thursday Night. For Sunday, they will be really fun. They
go they play Jane Daniels next week at home in
front of the Giants fans.
Speaker 3 (10:01):
In which they don't win, at which they never went
at home either.
Speaker 1 (10:03):
And you know, the GM's Sun was like, we should
get Jaden Daniels. I think said it on reality show.
And I'll come into New jersey'll be fun, Peter.
Speaker 2 (10:11):
I don't want to keep kind of like putting the
band aid back on and like tearing it off the skin.
Speaker 1 (10:15):
But I have to.
Speaker 2 (10:16):
Do just take us into New York just as an
experience right now, because to your point, Jeff's Giants, it's
not great Yankees, it's not great. This is oftentimes New
York is like the heartbeat the media market. It's like
what the nation? You hate to love it and you
love to hate them. What is it like? Is this
the earliest it's ever been this dire, or the earliest
(10:38):
people have been looking at the Knicks and the Rangers
to save their souls.
Speaker 1 (10:42):
There's a lot.
Speaker 3 (10:43):
Of lot of faith in Jalen Brunson, a lot of
hope in the New York Rangers and the Blue Shirts
that they can get it done. Look, it's just the
sad thing is Jamie's what's been the case for the
last several years. The Giants had one miracle season a
couple of years ago where Daniel Jones won a bunch
of games by one score and it was a fun
ride and they won a playoff game. But like you're
talking about a decade thirteen years for the since they've
(11:04):
been good, and then the Giants have had one good
year in a blip about a decade, and they're still
trotting out I mean, I joke about it, but they
still trot out that Super Bowl teams from the last
two two Bowl teams every halftime at these home games.
So you're honoring Kristni and Chon O'Hara every year, and
it's like, we want to start getting celebrated about these guys.
Speaker 1 (11:22):
But we like Dave Dial still. We liked we rock
with Dave deal since we hung our Shingle as a
program Good Morning Football in New York City, which Peter
and I are still sitting. The Jets and Giants have
not been averaged. They've been horrible Peter's pointing to they
won heroic wild card rin that Daniel Jones made one
hundred and some million dollars off of. But the teams
are never good and this was supposed to be the
(11:43):
year that was different, certainly for the Jets. Who's better
right now? The Giants are Jets. If they've played right now,
who would win? I actually think I would take The.
Speaker 3 (11:49):
Giants played last year one of the worst games you'll
ever see.
Speaker 1 (11:52):
They played last year in a rain soaked game.
Speaker 3 (11:55):
All it went to overtime and it was disgusting and
the Jets won. I mean, just bad football.
Speaker 7 (12:00):
And Peter, I know you're done with New York book,
like you do have to answer to who do you
think would win that?
Speaker 1 (12:05):
I actually want to know? They were tye six? Well,
can we start Drew Locke as then the Giants would win.
Speaker 3 (12:11):
Yeah, Drew Locke and Tyrod Taylor I'd watch.
Speaker 2 (12:14):
I'm just glad that fed up Rope here to get
his Columbus Crew jersey in time for the day.
Speaker 1 (12:20):
You know, I'm part of the crew.
Speaker 6 (12:22):
I like it.
Speaker 2 (12:23):
We're going to turn your back on the Red Bulls,
really sticking it to the man, all right, Tom Pella Sarah,
good morning to you. Welcome inside GMFB. What do we
need to discuss h looking ahead the week nine?
Speaker 8 (12:36):
Well, Jamie, no such quarterback issues for oh, I don't know,
three decades or so. In Green Bay, where the Packers
once again appear to have avoided a bad scenario with
their quarterback Jordan Love. He came out of Sunday's game
after initially trying to push through following tweaking his groin
in the early stages. There was optimism after the game
that it was nothing major. That was confirmed on an
(12:58):
MRI on Monday. He is considered to be day to
day at this point. He will undergo treatment this week.
They got a huge game on Sunday for first place
in the NFC North against the Lions. If he's able
to go, if he's able to protect himself, Love will
be out there. If not, then it would be Malik
Willis once again trying to deliver a win in relief.
There's also a question right now about the Colts quarterback
(13:21):
for Sunday Night Football. Anthony Richardson, coming off of another
fairly rough day, had one big touchdown pass through a
lot of incompletions through a three hundred and twenty pound
man off him on this play and then tapped himself out.
Players spoke up about that on Monday, saying that in
Ryan Kelly's case, it was a rough look for Anthony Richardson,
(13:41):
and when pressed on Monday, Shane Steiken said that they
were evaluating everything with regard to the possibility of a
quarterback change. The thing to remember with Anthony Richardson, he's
the fourth overall pick in the twenty twenty three draft.
He has played a grand total of ten NFL games
because of injuries. This was the guy they knew needed
to play, that there were going to be a lot
of growing pains. What Stiken and company have to evaluate
(14:03):
is can they continue to go through those growing pains
at a time that they are very much in the thick.
Speaker 5 (14:09):
Of the AFC South race.
Speaker 8 (14:11):
So are the Texans who remain atop that division, but
the injuries are mounting for them at the wide receiver position.
Of course, no Nico Collins, he remains on injured reserve.
Then Stefan Diggs went down on Sunday with that right there,
a non contact knee injury. Jamiko Ryan said on Monday
they are continuing to evaluate the injury for Diggs. I
(14:31):
would tell you it is fair to say that there
is significant concern about Stefan Diggs. What we know as
of right now is Diggs was listed as a non
participant on the estimated injury report on Monday. Hard to
imagine he's playing Thursday night football against the Jets and
quite possibly beyond.
Speaker 1 (14:52):
Welcome back to GMFB. It's Tuesday. We do we injury out.
We bring no poom. I don't know if you saw it.
Speaker 3 (14:57):
Our guys AJ, Big Justice and the Rizzler on Jimmy
fallon last night.
Speaker 1 (15:02):
Cele great.
Speaker 9 (15:03):
You guys bring the brilliant. We love when you bring them.
Good am I doing the faces? That is incredible. Yeah,
so they have hit the mainstream. We talked about it
last week on the show. We are always one week ahead.
Speaker 3 (15:17):
Let's get into weir and this one is football related.
You guys tell us if you agree with the statement
or not. We're at the midway point of the NFL season.
I know it sounds crazy, but we are at the
midway point at the NFL season.
Speaker 1 (15:30):
Sometimes have had their buys. Thank god, others are getting
into them right now. You know me out with this statement.
Speaker 3 (15:37):
Dan Campbell's the Coach of the Year twenty four season.
Speaker 1 (15:40):
Okbar your thoughts. It's a great start.
Speaker 7 (15:44):
I love what Dan Campbell is doing, but I'm out
on this. I've got Kevin O'Connell, who I think should be,
you know, considered for coach of the year, especially when
you think about everything last year. They you know, they
were seven to ten, they finished seven to ten. They
lose their starting quarterback and Kirk Cousin. They get to
Sam Darnold, and then they draft this other guy, you know,
Jay J. McCarthy, and then he gets hurt. All this adversity,
(16:07):
and yet they find a way to start the season
five and zero despite all of that, and they continue
to make changes. I know they're coming off of a
losing streak, losing two games against the Rams and the Lions,
but this is still a very good coaching job by
Kevin O'Connell. Taking Sam Donald. We're talking about Sam Donald
and making him a star, and I mean and they
are in a very very tough division as well.
Speaker 1 (16:30):
I say this a lot this year. Out of thirty
two teams, there is only one team that for three
straight years have had the same coach and two coordinators,
and it's the Detroit Lions. And you know what, I
hate to say it against my guy, but that's the
case against Dan Campbell. It's like when there's this incredible
director and then the film snobs are like, no, it's
the DP. The director of photography really carried that film.
Is Dan Campbell the product of two great coordinators? I mean,
(16:51):
of course they have a huge contribution. I'm going to
be out on this though, Peter. I think that Dan
Campbell has an unbelievable roster that they've been building and
strengthening for a few years. The Washington Commanders are sick two.
They're six and two, the Washington Commanders. This is like
last year we used to say the Lions are good,
the Commanders are good. And I'm going with DQ. I'm
(17:13):
going with Dan Quinn right now. I had a coach
of the Year. I will go I know that Jaydon
is a sensation. The rest of that roster is not spectacular,
and their record is I'm going to go with d
qw our guy, we go way back with them as
the coach of the year.
Speaker 2 (17:27):
Dang it, Kyle, that's a really good one. And now
I don't even want to give my because I'm kind
of convinced by that one, but I want I'm out
on this too, and I want to tea mine up
only because like sometimes it's just really fun to be
like super right, and like I like being right sometimes.
My head coach of the Year prediction I think still
might range true. It was Matt Lafleur. I teet him
up for the Packers to go to Brazil start their season.
(17:50):
They lose Jordan Love, they come back. I wanted to
see the picture of me showing mattla Flour's name, but
we don't have. Oh, there it is, okay, there, it
is Matt Lafloor. September second. I had it as my
Coach of the Year prediction, and I think it's still
hanging in there because the Packers have had some speed
bumped and if they because of this question, and because
of Akbar saying Kevin O'Connell, and because of the question
(18:11):
in itself being Dan Campbell, if the Packers somehow bubble
up to the surface with this division, I think he
would earn Coach of the Year.
Speaker 1 (18:17):
Because of that.
Speaker 3 (18:19):
There's a huge game coming up and we'll see as
Packers can start jockeying for position they play the Lions soon.
So I am just going to put it out there
name that I think is worthy of consideration. And I
know what they've got and I know who they've got
a quarterback, but Andy Reid, yarre undefeated, They've dealt with
(18:40):
a ton of adversity, They've lost a lot of players.
Speaker 1 (18:43):
I know.
Speaker 3 (18:43):
It's he's not going to win. It's like when Tom
Brady used to not win MVP. It's bye his team
being the squad like alkbar.
Speaker 1 (18:49):
What do you think you animated? But like we're O'Connell
over Andy Reid.
Speaker 7 (18:53):
You know what I was Literally those are the two
guys that was stuck with and I'm going, okay, people
going to be like.
Speaker 1 (18:58):
Oh Andy Reid.
Speaker 7 (18:59):
And it's almost like I didn't say Andy Reid only
because I feel like he's had so much success, and
it's like spread the love to other people, you know
what I mean. But that was the only reason. But yeah,
you're right, he's doing an amazing job. Why shouldn't he
be Coach of the Year. If it was just plain
x's and old winning, we're going off of who can
be productive and getting the w's. It's Andy Reid for sure.
(19:20):
At this point of the season.
Speaker 1 (19:21):
You want to really really spicy one. Okay, okay, if
you see what the value that a coach brings to
a team and maybe how they would be without him.
He is the coach of the year, Robert Sala of
the New York Jets, Robert Sala and the team hasn't
won a game without him, and they just lost the Patriots.
And put this way, they played the Patriots with them,
they destroyed them. They played the Patriots without him, they lost.
(19:42):
Robert Salom I coach of the year, tweeted out seventy
two point five. I don't care. Let's go.
Speaker 3 (19:46):
Let's go, just to close the loop on your prediction
from the summer, which was good, Jamie. On September second,
we do have all four of our predictions.
Speaker 1 (19:55):
Let's see how we fared. Is what we had, all right.
Speaker 3 (19:59):
Jamie, you have batt Lafleur, as we said, Kyle.
Speaker 1 (20:01):
Rahie Morris looking good. It looks great place. John mar
he's in it. He's hold yeah. And look I still feel.
Speaker 3 (20:11):
Good with Mike we Donald if they win the NFC West.
So none of us fell on our faces, none of
us said this is the year just passing a shadow,
and everybody like that.
Speaker 1 (20:24):
We none of us embarrassed ourselves. I feel pretty good.
We none of us had Nathaniel Hackett as the Broncos
coach like you did. That's okay, that happened. Also had
Sean Payton last year. You love those Broncos coaches. Peyton
might be this year. I mean, come on, the Broncos
are really good. Are really good?
Speaker 3 (20:40):
First time we mentioned the Broncos this year on the show.
So let's get to the next segment. We are two
days away from Halloween and Miles Garrett was amazing on Sunday.
Speaker 1 (20:48):
Not in the field. He's fine on the field.
Speaker 3 (20:51):
I'm talking about in his lead up to the game.
You mentioned this yesterday, Monster FX or Hollywood FX this
there's a full motion graphics makeup company did this. Adam
Schecker had the tweet where he worked with an entire
Hollywood studio to put together this costume that is Miles
(21:13):
Garrett under a Terminator two costume.
Speaker 1 (21:16):
Unbelievable.
Speaker 3 (21:18):
Arnold Schwarzenegger then saw this and him himself, Arnold on
the Keys.
Speaker 1 (21:23):
Arnold, he definitely tweeted.
Speaker 3 (21:25):
This was him, not a social media assistant, not a
twenty five year old.
Speaker 1 (21:29):
Person who wrote seventy something. Schwarzenegger tweeted that ten ten
no notes, it's my least favorite tweet of twenty twenty four.
Donold did that? Come on? Give it to Arnold.
Speaker 3 (21:40):
He's definitely definitely shout out to Patrick Schwarzenegger, his son,
who I love as an actor as well.
Speaker 1 (21:46):
So here we go.
Speaker 3 (21:48):
In or out adults, grown men and women who go.
Speaker 1 (21:53):
All out for Halloween.
Speaker 3 (21:56):
Akbar, we interne out on these folks.
Speaker 7 (21:57):
I am all in on this, and for a couple
of reasons. One, I did not get a chance to
dress up as a young kid because we didn't celebrate
Halloween growing up, so I never had a chance to
celebrate the and do all the dressing up. Secondly, Miles
Garrett just proved the point that you can go out
there and come out and terminate the best team in
the AFC with the Baltimore Ravens or they were the
(22:18):
best team in the AFC. So I'm all in for this.
It's a lot of fun too.
Speaker 1 (22:21):
You get to you know enough with Miles Garrett.
Speaker 3 (22:26):
Take it to your house, you go to a theme party,
you got down a bed, let's talk bar, let's play
this out in your head.
Speaker 1 (22:30):
You you go to a.
Speaker 3 (22:31):
Cocktail party, go to a dinner party and it's a
Halloween theme. Take us through the LA social scene and
what your experience has been at these Halloween party.
Speaker 7 (22:39):
Okay, so at the Halloween party, I dressed up this JC.
Speaker 10 (22:42):
You know last year I dressed up this JC and say, yeah,
young Hoven, the house is so necessary?
Speaker 1 (22:47):
So why you hating on me?
Speaker 10 (22:49):
Is that necessary?
Speaker 1 (22:50):
You know?
Speaker 10 (22:50):
I come in my day, the whole night, oh the
whole night, talking like that, I would say, yo, Wesby,
you know yeah, Like that's how you got to do Like,
if you don't come up and show up for Halloween.
Speaker 1 (23:02):
You gotta do it. You got to do it big.
I'm all in for it. I'm in, all right, all right,
yeah's next.
Speaker 2 (23:09):
I'm out because happened. There's two things in the last
four twenty four hours on the show have made my
like my sternum kind.
Speaker 1 (23:21):
Of like like this.
Speaker 2 (23:22):
It's the pregame speeches is too much for me right now.
And then adults doing the full blown Halloween I can't
do it. It makes me uncomfortable. We do it on
the show and it's I get there, but like it's
it's a lot, it's a lot for me.
Speaker 1 (23:36):
I like to be comfortable.
Speaker 2 (23:39):
The thing over the face and the mass and the deal.
It's not for me.
Speaker 1 (23:42):
I'm out.
Speaker 2 (23:42):
I'm a party poop.
Speaker 6 (23:44):
Sorry.
Speaker 1 (23:45):
So Peter's on the right track here. What starts is
you get an email that you're invited to a Halloween
party six weeks from now, and you're like, oh, man,
here you go. You look to your wife, if you
have one, your husband, what are we gonna do? And
I swear there was a time when you could just
kind of show up and just have like a zany
cost you know what. You'd have one of those things
(24:05):
where there's an arrow going through your head and that's fine.
Hard yeah. Or you go to the Spirit Halloween and
you get the Austin Powers costume in a bag, but
it's called sexy Spy. Are you feeling random? But baby,
but not Austin Power. No, no sexy Spy. And that
was fine. And that time that I'm referring to is
the time before Instagram, where now you're not doing it
(24:27):
for the party, you're not doing it for your friends,
you're not doing it for your wife or husband. You're
doing it for your thirteen hundred and four followers. So
they can say, oh MG, you just won Halloween and
it's I mean, it's like these people. I've seen people
who are just not Miles Garrett. I mean they're spending
five thousand dollars on their Halloween costume this last weekend.
It was going on because they're a Halloween party Saturday night.
(24:48):
I'm seeing friends of mine who I'm like, I know
what they do, and I'm like, Jesus, I just spend
three car payments on your Halloween costume to go to
a campfire party with six people and one idiot playing
Wonderwall and guitar and you're dumb costumes. It's way too much.
If you, Miles Garrett, do whatever the hell you want.
But guys, I wish we could just go back to
(25:09):
just normalcy a little bit. I'm a ghost, I'm a
lamb wire, I have blood going now. No, it's it's
crazy now, you know, it is really bloated, and it's
for Instagram.
Speaker 7 (25:19):
What's the easy thing to do is stay within your lane.
Like for me, I just say, who can I imitate? Like,
all right, I'm dressed up as Michael Michael Jordan used
to be my onet all the time. I put on
some Jay's some Chicago bullstuff.
Speaker 1 (25:29):
I'm like, but that's not going all out.
Speaker 2 (25:31):
I think what Kyle's talking about is just like like
the Miles Garrett thing. It's like he has a whole
deal on his face in his head, Like wearing a
jersey is different than like getting a Hollywood guy into
Cleveland to do his Maybe.
Speaker 3 (25:42):
Like I see Miles Garrett, I see Miles Garrett walking
to the tunnel, and I'm like, that is awesome. If
I see someone at a Halloween party, like neighborhood friends
walking in like that, I'm like, you're a weirdo, strange,
Like you need another hobby. You need to collect coupons
and stamps and baseball cards.
Speaker 1 (25:58):
This is cool. What is wrong? What is right?
Speaker 3 (26:01):
Let's sit down and talk about it, Like, what is wrong?
Speaker 1 (26:04):
Are you trying to guess I'm going to show up
to your house. I'm going to show it to all
dressed up. I'm I'm not going to be home.
Speaker 3 (26:12):
That's true. I am excited to see our costumes on Thursday.
Speaker 1 (26:17):
Spoiler alert. We will be dressing up, we will.
Speaker 3 (26:20):
Be going all out, and we will not be weird.
Speaker 1 (26:22):
We'll be very cool.
Speaker 5 (26:23):
I'll be weird.
Speaker 1 (26:24):
That's it. I'll be weird. I'll be weird, but it's fun.
Speaker 2 (26:37):
Only we are finding him in fastball rouge on the
campus of LSU, Scott the morning to our resident GM
that we always rely on in times like this, Scott,
last year you were doing this exact report from LSU
singing the praises of Jade and Daniels.
Speaker 1 (26:51):
Well, wasn't that.
Speaker 2 (26:52):
Fitting because look at what he's done halfway through his
rookie season, Jamie.
Speaker 11 (26:56):
It's really pretty incredible. But yeah, I'm not surprised.
Speaker 5 (26:58):
Again.
Speaker 11 (26:59):
I was down here last year and I watched Jayden.
As a matter of fact, I got in here last
year is around five point fifteen, and Jaden was coming
out of meetings doing his virtual reality work. And this
was a consistent thing that he did while he was
down here at LSU. So it doesn't surprise me at
all because everything that I understand and know is he's
continue with that kind of preparation. He's doing it not
(27:20):
just with himself and for himself, but he's waking up
Cliff Kingsbury, getting him in the office early, He's getting
other players to come in with him early, just like
he did with Maliite Neighbors last year at LSU and
Brian Thomas, two guys whose careers took off. So it's
his preparation. The way that he goes about being a professional.
Speaker 5 (27:38):
That doesn't surprise me at all because what he's doing.
Speaker 11 (27:40):
You know, one of dan Quinn's favorite lines is keep
the main thing the main thing.
Speaker 5 (27:44):
Jaden is keeping the main thing the main thing. And
it's interesting.
Speaker 11 (27:47):
You know, I've spent the last day here and talking
to a bunch of the players that played here with Jaden.
They still talk about him and the legacy that he
left here in terms of how it's forcing them to
understand what it's like to be a professional or to
try to be a professional. So I'm not surprised to
see how Jayden Daniels started the season at all.
Speaker 7 (28:06):
Yeah, I'm not surprised either from the main thing to
the other thing. On the flip side, we saw in
that play Tyreek Stevenson. I know he's getting criticized a
lot for tawning fans during that Hell Mary, how is
something like that handled in house because I know he's
getting beat up in the media.
Speaker 11 (28:24):
Yeah, you know, it's one of those things. I mean,
we all get it. It was a bad play. It
was a really bad play, and it was a really
bad look. But let's remember one play does not define
a player's career. And I think, you know, I go
back to one of my favorite sings, and I know
that Ryan Poles and Blues.
Speaker 5 (28:38):
You know, they are.
Speaker 11 (28:38):
Really smart guys. They're passionate guys, but they're also thoughtful people.
One of my favorite sings is each one of us
is so much more than the worst thing.
Speaker 5 (28:46):
That we've done.
Speaker 11 (28:46):
Brian Stevenson said that, and this is this guy is
so much more than the worst thing he did.
Speaker 5 (28:51):
I mean, we've seen it. It's a bad look.
Speaker 11 (28:53):
But again, you have to go back to this whole
circumstance in the situation.
Speaker 5 (28:56):
How this started.
Speaker 11 (28:58):
Washington started that drive on their own twenty four with
nineteen seconds left.
Speaker 5 (29:02):
They ran three plays. They called the time in between.
Speaker 11 (29:05):
Everyone's talking about the play before the play, but there
was the play before the play before the play, right,
they had eleven yard completion, they had a thirteen yard
completion that put him in position. So the thing is,
the reality is it's never just one play. Was that
play awful? Yes, he understands that he's a pro. He's
already holding himself accountable. So I think what has to
happen within is hey make the point the player made
(29:28):
a huge mistake.
Speaker 5 (29:29):
That and other things cost them the game. But now
what they.
Speaker 11 (29:32):
Need to do is move forward because they've got a
talented young player Scotty.
Speaker 7 (29:36):
P The Steelers are six and two, and are these
guys real?
Speaker 1 (29:39):
And the top of the AFC and tell the tellos,
are we seeing things or is this the real Is
this the real deal?
Speaker 5 (29:44):
He he's so good to see.
Speaker 6 (29:45):
Man.
Speaker 11 (29:45):
No, I think what they are right now is I
think they are a good team right now.
Speaker 5 (29:49):
Here's what I do know.
Speaker 11 (29:50):
I'm not sure how they're going to finish, but I
do know that Mike Tomlin is one heck of a
football coach. And I know it hasn't started yet, but
it seems like every year there's people out there being
critical of Mike Tomlin. But here's a guy who's in
his eighteenth NFL season. He's coach the most seasons in
NFL history without having a losing record. He's got seventeen
on him, seventeen under his belt. He's on his way
(30:13):
to his eighteenth. And when you look the names on
that list, George Allen, John Matt and Vince Lombardi. And
this is an incredible career. And I know people love
to go back and say, oh, well he had a
Hall of Famed quarterback. Well, his career record without Ben
Roethlisberger is forty three point thirty two and one. So,
in other words, that's about a fifty seven percent win percentage.
And when you take the records of Kyle Shanahan and
(30:34):
Sean McVay, two terrific young coaches that everyone always talks about,
their career combined records is also.
Speaker 5 (30:40):
Fifty seven percent combined.
Speaker 11 (30:42):
So to me, again, I just love to give this
guy so much respect. The Steelers have had twelve different
quarterbacks since Tomlin took over as the head coach in
two thousand and seven, and all this guy does is
when I have a huge respect for Mike Tomlin and
the job that he consistently does.
Speaker 2 (30:57):
And as Kyle says, doing the Vincemickman walk as he
comes into the building and he makes a decision like that,
he's like, yeah.
Speaker 1 (31:02):
