spk_0 Let's go.
spk_0 Let's start the show.
spk_0 New ball county.
spk_0 Let's go.
spk_0 Welcome to Good Morning Football presented by old trapper.
spk_0 That's right.
spk_0 GMFee everybody on a Tuesday.
spk_0 Welcome inside Jamie Mansai, Willie and Kyle.
spk_0 Kyle, a couple of years ago on the show,
spk_0 you did a beautiful die tribe about the NFC South
spk_0 and the fact that it felt like no one wanted to win the division.
spk_0 It was if you can haul it, you can have it.
spk_0 I feel like the AMC South, this season,
spk_0 is the opposite of that.
spk_0 If you have a sword, you have to street fight for this thing
spk_0 because everyone in the AMC South looks fantastic.
spk_0 Yeah, they all look fantastic.
spk_0 It's pretty cool.
spk_0
spk_0 We make those division picks.
spk_0 Mansai and Robbie is like, AMC South,
spk_0 I'm going to put some gloves on.
spk_0 And you know what, the NFC South has good quarterbacks
spk_0 and good coaches and incredible records
spk_0 and we saw some of that last night.
spk_0 Indeed, we did.
spk_0 Don't fall down on the job.
spk_0 And if you are Trevor Lawrence and you figure it out eventually,
spk_0 Jacksonville look great.
spk_0 And Kansas City Kyle, we got to talk about it.
spk_0 Let's look at the long highlight.
spk_0 I think we should.
spk_0 The long highlight tells the story is usually does.
spk_0 The story begins with Trevor Lawrence being three and one
spk_0 at the best start of Trevor Lawrence's career.
spk_0 Also, he's 26 years old.
spk_0 If this is birthday yesterday and if you care
spk_0 because you're in second grade,
spk_0 or ever Lawrence,
spk_0 on the biggest play of this young season,
spk_0 is going to take the staff and fall.
spk_0 Get up fall again.
spk_0 Get up and win.
spk_0 What an amazing, weird, messy,
spk_0 sloppy, incredible touchdown.
spk_0 All fight, all hard.
spk_0 Big wins for the jack.
spk_0 Look at that.
spk_0 You just feel the humidity.
spk_0 Can't you?
spk_0 The screen is just wet right now.
spk_0 And guess what?
spk_0 Trevor Lawrence is victorious.
spk_0 He looks in the teeth of the Chief's defense.
spk_0 A lot of those guys with Super Bowl rings.
spk_0 Some of multiple Super Bowl rings.
spk_0 Trevor Lawrence has Pat Mahomes watches.
spk_0 Fireworks Kyle.
spk_0 Bam, that's a beautiful shot right there.
spk_0 That should be on the cover of the media guy.
spk_0 That's a man cave photo.
spk_0 That's what I'm saying.
spk_0 Right?
spk_0 Blow that thing up.
spk_0 Put it in a tasteful frame with some perfect matting
spk_0 and hanging in the cave.
spk_0 You can hang that loss on the Chiefs.
spk_0 They are now two and three.
spk_0 31-28 Jags.
spk_0 I said Jags.
spk_0 And our guy, the wolf,
spk_0 the wolf down in Dubalc County caught up with Travis Hunter
spk_0 the rookie after a very exciting win.
spk_0 Take it away, Cam.
spk_0 Travis, congratulations on the win first.
spk_0 Take me into that go ahead,
spk_0 touchdown by Trevor Lawrence.
spk_0 What did you see as he stumbling,
spk_0 gets up and scores a touchdown?
spk_0 I was running my route.
spk_0 So I'm going to motion as you see.
spk_0 I went in motion.
spk_0 And by the time I look back,
spk_0 I seen him on the ground so I look back.
spk_0 And I look back again.
spk_0 He was up running.
spk_0 I was like, oh, touchdown.
spk_0 Let's go.
spk_0 She got a name for that play.
spk_0 What is this touchdown?
spk_0
spk_0 It's down Trevor.
spk_0 A good birthday present for him.
spk_0 26th day.
spk_0 How did your quarterback play today?
spk_0 Play great.
spk_0 You know, mine is the interception.
spk_0 You know, we knew it was our whole.
spk_0 We thought it was a whole,
spk_0 but hey, we bounced back and you know,
spk_0 he stayed with it.
spk_0 He's a leader of the team,
spk_0 captain of the offense,
spk_0 and we go as he goes.
spk_0 He showed us that no matter that adversity,
spk_0 just keep going.
spk_0 Keep pushing.
spk_0 It's nice to see Travis Hunter's personality
spk_0 has stayed the same since his college days.
spk_0 He gets drafted.
spk_0 And now he is really blossoming
spk_0 into a wonderful young man,
spk_0 if you will, in Jacksonville.
spk_0 Jacksonville gets the win.
spk_0 They beat up on a team in the AFC
spk_0 that has bested them often in regular season
spk_0 in January.
spk_0 Bested a lot of teams.
spk_0 The Kansas City Chiefs dropped.
spk_0 They have losing season thus far,
spk_0 man.
spk_0 I what do you make of Kansas City right now
spk_0 for watching what you saw last night?
spk_0 Yeah, I'm a little concerned, Jamie.
spk_0 I am.
spk_0 I'm not concerned because they're losing.
spk_0 I'm concerned at how they're losing.
spk_0 We're not used to at least I'm not used to
spk_0 a Kansas City Chiefs team led by Andy Redett
spk_0 has self-inflicting wounds,
spk_0 especially late in the game.
spk_0 And the second half,
spk_0 we all know that Patrick Mahomes shows that pick six.
spk_0 That's a big, that's a big mistake.
spk_0 However, the ensuing kickoff,
spk_0 they get the ball, the ball.
spk_0 For short, Smith runs 63 yards on the kickoff return
spk_0 and they get a holding call.
spk_0 That negates a great return
spk_0 after an explosive play by the Jacksonville Jaguars.
spk_0 If you want to kind of flatten out a pick six like this,
spk_0 the best way to do is to catch the ball on the kickoff
spk_0 from return to 63 yards.
spk_0 How do they flake that?
spk_0 You get a holding call on that on that play.
spk_0 Well, then Harrison Booker then kicks the ball out of bounds.
spk_0 And that's it's so strange that we started this week off
spk_0 with the Rams game and Joshua Cardi opening up over time
spk_0 with the Rams and Niners kicking the ball
spk_0 not in the landing zone.
spk_0 And then we end week five with Booker kicking the ball out of bounds.
spk_0 And now the Jacksonville Jaguars have the ball in the 40
spk_0 and they drive the ball down
spk_0 and they seal it with the game winning touch
spk_0 on with Trevor Lawrence.
spk_0 That's what really concerns me, Jamie,
spk_0 is the way at which the chiefs are losing these games.
spk_0 It's not what we've been used to.
spk_0 We've seen the chiefs lose games.
spk_0 We haven't seen the chiefs lose games in this fashion
spk_0 where the committing penalties,
spk_0 where the committing turnovers
spk_0 that leads into these type of losses.
spk_0 So that's what that's what I took from the game, Willie.
spk_0 Yeah, you're right, man.
spk_0 Ty, watching the chiefs acquire 13 penalties
spk_0 on the night is definitely troubling.
spk_0 But I think for me, it's the defense.
spk_0 This defense historically has been known in the closed games.
spk_0 And when you watch what they've done as a late,
spk_0 they've struggled in that department.
spk_0 And you understand they sign Chris Jones solely
spk_0 because what he does in the fourth quarter
spk_0 and how he impacts the game.
spk_0 I got a clip right here that for me,
spk_0 there's trouble in the water.
spk_0 Go back to the play with Trevor Lawrence trips.
spk_0 Sir, if you're looking at,
spk_0 if you're looking at Chris Jones,
spk_0 this is the playwright.
spk_0 You're talking about the Lawrence touchdowns.
spk_0 Yeah, on the Lawrence scramble touchdowns.
spk_0 Chris Jones gives up on the play.
spk_0 And for me, when you're a leader, when you're a vocal leader,
spk_0 when you're an impact player, you got it.
spk_0 You got to show up.
spk_0 I've watched Michael Parsons to Miles Garrett to TJ Watch.
spk_0 All these guys, when the fourth quarter comes along,
spk_0 they show up.
spk_0 They put on the Superman in Cape.
spk_0 That clip right there of Chris Jones standing there,
spk_0 watching Trevor Lawrence scamper into the end zone
spk_0 to win the game.
spk_0 I have questions.
spk_0 Where's the heart?
spk_0 Where's the fight?
spk_0 How do you give up on your defense?
spk_0 How does this defense give up when they needed the most?
spk_0 So if you're the chief right now,
spk_0 you got to figure out who you are on defense.
spk_0 I hear you, man.
spk_0 And I think, man, TIE, you were all over.
spk_0 The kickoff mistake by Harrison Bucker's huge.
spk_0 This has become more of our conversation,
spk_0 more commonly.
spk_0 You can't kick it out of bounds there.
spk_0 They're trying to get it inside the 20,
spk_0 give them at the 40.
spk_0 I saw the Chris Jones thing.
spk_0 We're going to try to find that video,
spk_0 but people are all over him.
spk_0 He kind of just stands up and walks away.
spk_0 Now, Chris Jones is probably going to be in the hall of fame
spk_0 some day.
spk_0 He's been in every single situation.
spk_0 But take us through.
spk_0 Really watch.
spk_0 Watch 95.
spk_0 I'm going 95.
spk_0 Just standing there.
spk_0 Like he has a chance.
spk_0 He's hustling.
spk_0 He's digging.
spk_0 He gets Trevor Lawrence.
spk_0 He Trevor Lawrence took time to get up.
spk_0 He had to find his way.
spk_0 And he got up.
spk_0 And he had nobody around him.
spk_0 So he picked up his legs and was able to score.
spk_0 I'm trying to think in the situation.
spk_0 I mean, we see guys let other teams score before.
spk_0 But in this situation, there wasn't much time left for Kyle.
spk_0 We could have done that.
spk_0 That can't happen with him.
spk_0 Because he's the top dog of that defense.
spk_0 He has to be the one to make a play.
spk_0 Even if he dives and misses Trevor Lawrence,
spk_0 it's better optics.
spk_0 This is bad optics for the chief defense.
spk_0 With 30 seconds or the clock, you need to stop.
spk_0 You have to lean on your best play on defense.
spk_0 And he's standing upright, watching the quarterback,
spk_0 scampering for a touchdown.
spk_0 I'm being devil's advocate.
spk_0 Also, the Jaguar's going to have time outs here.
spk_0 So in a reality where Jones or someone else
spk_0 tackles Lawrence, they're screwed.
spk_0 They're in hurry up mode.
spk_0 They're either spiking.
spk_0 They're thrown in the ends.
spk_0 I don't remember what Donut was.
spk_0 But like, there was a play to be made there.
spk_0 You could have sealed the game there.
spk_0 The Jaguar's almost blew it.
spk_0 And then a future hall of fame.
spk_0 It's not a great look.
spk_0 Big time players have called the point
spk_0 to do big time things.
spk_0 You got to show up and deliver.
spk_0 All right, so the chiefs.
spk_0 It's not great right now.
spk_0 All right, so two and three.
spk_0 The question is going to go around here.
spk_0 It's going to go around everywhere.
spk_0 Is that when do you either hit the panic button?
spk_0 It could be now.
spk_0 Or when do you jump ship even?
spk_0 Here's the deal.
spk_0 They have started this way before.
spk_0 They have started this kind of start before.
spk_0 As a bunch of years back, they ended up in the AFC title game.
spk_0 It was the year that they lost the Bengals at home.
spk_0 So they fixed it then.
spk_0 I'm not going to go too deep into the Chiefs' minutia,
spk_0 but I think it's important about their schedule.
spk_0 Two and three, they have a month of games left.
spk_0 They got four games until the buy.
spk_0 And it's just quickly next is Detroit's not great.
spk_0 Raiders, commanders, and then bills.
spk_0 Okay?
spk_0 I feel like they have to win three of those games.
spk_0 Because they win three of those games.
spk_0 They're five and four.
spk_0 They go into the buy and everybody exhales.
spk_0 Even if they just win half of them,
spk_0 they lose to Detroit and Buffalo's say.
spk_0 Like, they usually lose the Buffalo and the regular season.
spk_0 That's not great.
spk_0 Then they're sitting there at four and five at the halfway point.
spk_0 Like, we need to get to 10 and seven.
spk_0 All of the magic of read and mahalms and all that we respect.
spk_0 You can't beat math.
spk_0 I don't care how good you are at the end of the season.
spk_0 If the numbers are in your favor,
spk_0 have you seen the AFC?
spk_0 There's crazy teams like Jacksonville and Indianapolis
spk_0 who are coming now who have the numbers in their favor.
spk_0 It is still pretty early.
spk_0 And I'm not jumping shit because I've seen the Chiefs'
spk_0 at two and three before.
spk_0 And they ended up in the title game like they are every single year.
spk_0 My thing is, review this in one month.
spk_0 Okay.
spk_0 And if they are not five and four going into the buy,
spk_0 I don't know what we do at this team.
spk_0 Because four and five coming out and going down the home stretch
spk_0 against these really good AFC teams,
spk_0 including Indianapolis, including Denver, Houston,
spk_0 the Chargers, like, it's tough.
spk_0 Five and four at the buy.
spk_0 And then if not, like, we got to say goodbye at the buy.
spk_0 It feels like we're doing this a lot with the Chiefs and Patrick Mahomes this season.
spk_0 This is only the second time in Mahomes 10 year
spk_0 in starting that he has a losing record through five games.
spk_0 So this is an uncomfortable place to wait for the Kansas City Chiefs.
spk_0 What's up, Kyle?
spk_0 I just, Jamie, I'm sorry.
spk_0 I know you were, I just, I had forgotten I wanted to say one thing.
spk_0 And I'm always fascinated by the Chiefs fans in this era.
spk_0 Because granted, they're so arrogant and they're so happy.
spk_0 And God bless them.
spk_0 They should be.
spk_0 This is the first season.
spk_0 And we've been doing this whole run of championships for them on this show
spk_0 that I'm starting to see little whispers from Chiefs fans.
spk_0 And they don't want you to hear about maybe not our year.
spk_0 Just maybe not our year.
spk_0 And I'm not unmasked, not the majority.
spk_0 But if you go in certain circles and certain comments sections or certain text threads,
spk_0 there's some about it's a great run.
spk_0 We'll get right, but I just don't think it's this year yet.
spk_0 And it's the first time I've ever seen that.
spk_0 And Jamie, they'll be like, we're not saying that.
spk_0 We're you seeing that.
spk_0 I'm seeing it.
spk_0 I'm plugged into a lot of stuff.
spk_0 And I'm starting to first see whispers of maybe this is not the year.
spk_0 Well, it was tricky because there was a glimmer of hope in that game against the Baltimore Ravens.
spk_0 And you figured, well, if they were able to beat down on the Ravens that way,
spk_0 maybe the Chiefs figured it out.
spk_0 Yeah.
spk_0 I actually think what happened was they ran into an absolute,
spk_0 faltering Baltimore Ravens team.
spk_0 And with that, we got to check in with Tom Pellicero,
spk_0 our NFL Network insider with us this morning.
spk_0 Tom, what's going on with the quarterback position in Baltimore?
spk_0 Because they got a lot of business they have to tend to.
spk_0 And that can't be at the top of the list.
spk_0 Jamie, the Ravens are very beat up.
spk_0 They desperately need a win.
spk_0 And once again, they might be without their starting quarterback, Lamar Jackson.
spk_0 John Harbott had not provided any substantive updates,
spk_0 which is normal out of Baltimore when he spoke with the portors on Monday.
spk_0 Sam's only were in the process of figuring it out right now.
spk_0 But it does seem unlikely into the circumstances that Lamar will be out there
spk_0 this week against the Rams.
spk_0 He just entered that hamstring nine days ago.
spk_0 After this week's game, they got to buy in week seven.
spk_0 So as badly as they may need a win right now,
spk_0 and they certainly do giving Lamar a full three weeks off to rest might be
spk_0 the better long term play.
spk_0 Now also John Harbott was asked about the possibility of starting someone other than
spk_0 Cooper Rush at quarterback again did not answer specifically, but said we will consider
spk_0 everything which presumably would include giving Snoop Hully who once made the pro bowl
spk_0 while filling in for Lamar down the stretch.
spk_0 An opportunity at minimum to see some play in time in this game on Sunday.
spk_0 The Bengals and their coach, Sack Taylor also say they are exploring options at the quarterback
spk_0 position after a third consecutive loss and another three interception performance
spk_0 by Jake Browning in the place of Joe Burrell.
spk_0 My understanding is the Bengals have had conversations about potential trades.
spk_0 Nothing is imminent at this point with Kirk Cousins or anybody else.
spk_0 So as of now, if they're going to make a deal of any kind or even sign a quarterback,
spk_0 you would anticipate that would happen today for the moment though,
spk_0 Jake Browning remains in line to get another start.
spk_0 And they would hope play more like he did down the stretch in that game as opposed to what we
spk_0 had seen from him in the Bengals offense so far.
spk_0 As for the 49ers, another week, another quarterback question Brock Pertie still dealing with that
spk_0 toe injury that he aggravated when he returned to the lineup in week four.
spk_0 There's been no ruling out of Brock Pertie at this point, but again, he missed two games the first
spk_0 time around.
spk_0 Potentially could this be another two game absence?
spk_0 They got a huge game on Sunday.
spk_0 The 49ers are 4-1 despite all their injury issues.
spk_0 As Nick had said, to head to Tampa and take on the 4-1 Buccaneers.
spk_0 If no Pertie, it would be Mac Jones getting another opportunity.
spk_0 He's 3-0 as their starter and his contract Jamie calls for with a fourth win into
spk_0 trigger a $400,000 incentive with another 100 grand for each game he would win after that.
spk_0 So a little bit of money on the line for Mac Jones if he gets that opportunity.
spk_0 But we'll see how much if anything Brock Pertie is able to do here through the course of practice.
spk_0 Hey, this is Matt Jones.
spk_0 I'm Drew Franklin and this is NFL Cover Zero.

spk_0 What's up? Not to be confused. Also, retired Jersey in Lakeview High School lore.
spk_0 I believe that to be true. So you are just being memorialized all over football town.
spk_0 Jack, great to see you. But with the Colts with the NFL, you decide to hang up the cleats.
spk_0 How is life now? What's how's the aftermath of this decision and your what your world looks like?
spk_0 Hi, man. It's great, man. You know, I'm coaching back at high school and joining up there,
spk_0 trying to make the kids better. But my favorite thing on the man has been able to spend time with
spk_0 family now. I'm home every day. I get to go to proxies. I get to go to games and stuff like that.
spk_0 So it's great. It's great. I'm loving it. Loving decision and looking forward to what's
spk_0 coming forward in my life. Jack, I'm older than you, bro. But I remember watching your film.
spk_0 I would watch your film during my pregame. Just to get a feel because there are very few people
spk_0 that you and you're watching. You can just tell they love the game. Where does that love for the
spk_0 game of football come from in your life? Man, it comes from just just being doubted, man. Just being
spk_0 being a small thing on the field majority of the time. Sitting the bench and then finally getting
spk_0 opportunity to play, man, it makes you make sure you respect the game. I mean, sitting on the bench,
spk_0 man, it makes you when you get an opportunity to take full advantage of your opportunity and make
spk_0 sure you understand now. If you get an opportunity, don't waste it in. Every time I touch the field, I just
spk_0 play it like it was my life and give it everything I got and just man, I love it when you love the game
spk_0 as much as I do, man. It is show. It is show on the field. And what it shows back is the respect
spk_0 and your legacy from your teammates, man. Your teammates weighed in specifically Jonathan Taylor
spk_0 and DeForest Buccane. I want you to listen what they had to say.
spk_0 Shark was a generational talent. Like, I mean, we've all seen it. I mean, just his impact and the game
spk_0 and the community, but really just he was a rare talent at the linebacker position.
spk_0 That's one of the best players that I've ever played with from a leadership standpoint,
spk_0 from an actual one, like on field play standpoint. That's someone like when I came in, I'm like,
spk_0 okay, this is someone who puts it on tape every single week.
spk_0 Shark, what's it like to hear that?
spk_0 Man, it's amazing. It's amazing how words manage it. It makes you understand that you did
spk_0 everything the right way, man. You treated everybody with respect. You went the word day in and day
spk_0 out and they just talk about it. You made sure that you put it on tape. And then you just
spk_0 knew how to lead. And for me to walk away from the game as early as I did and have my teammates
spk_0 talk about me in that manner. And it's a blessing. It's a blessing. And I'm just thankful,
spk_0 you know, thankful for the opportunity to play and thank for the opportunity to be there.
spk_0 Team A should be there. Frank throughout his whole thing. And this is great. And it makes me
spk_0 even more so at peace to know that I did my job to the best of my ability. And my teammates saw that.
spk_0 And they think the road.
spk_0 Shark, let's talk about the cults, the current state of the cults, man. Are they for real?
spk_0 Should we be believers in them?
spk_0 You best believe it. You best believe it, man. They're playing great,
spk_0 complimentary football and all three phases. Just like last week, man, they get a block part
spk_0 on a special team. They get two in the semesters on defense. And then offensive women,
spk_0 I think it's four or five touchdowns. And it just goes to so many. The energy is back in
spk_0 and apples man defensively. They don't are flying around. Danny Dimes is putting the ball on
spk_0 the money, making the right throws. The offense line is blocking great. And JT just being JT. So
spk_0 no matter what you do against them, man, they're going to find a way to win the ball game. And
spk_0 there's no quitting them. And and you see when they're up big, they're still got their foot on the
spk_0 gas. And they're just going to show that no matter who they're playing, what they're doing, they're
spk_0 going to go out and do it. And Coach James is doing a great job with them. And I felt that when I was
spk_0 there, man, he hold guys accountable. He pushed guys and Chris Ballet did a great job in the draft
spk_0 of drafting guys and the hip is team out. And man, it's it's short. It's short. And the guys
spk_0 are really buying him. And the coach ordered a real deal. And you can book the ticket right now.
spk_0 I believe that somebody else is who's the real deal is Zayr Franklin. And he got a sack in the
spk_0 game and he got to do your celebration. Talk us a little bit about your relationship with him
spk_0 both on and off the field.
spk_0 Oh, man, Zayr and I we both came in together as rookies. And you know, I just seen him working from
spk_0 being a special team guy. And now everything is on his shoulders, man, the way that he's leading
spk_0 them guys, the way that he's bringing that to mass city down. Man, it's great to see. And you know,
spk_0 we still have our relationship. You know, we talk every once in a while. And you know, I'm I'm
spk_0 happy to see him do what he do, man. It's it's a blessing, especially to see his role, his journey
spk_0 the ways that now, man, it's a blessing to see it on the map before.
spk_0 Shack, you gave us a blessing several years ago. We do some segment here called Angry Runs.
spk_0 Where we find the guy who runs somebody over or stiff arms and everything and we scream about him
spk_0 and we celebrate him and you know what I'm talking about because you made history. October 2019,
spk_0 dude, you were the first player ever to win Angry Runs on the defensive side of the book ball.
spk_0 And we have the clip. Let's watch it. The coach linebacker, Darius Leonard, met up with Roman Reigns.
spk_0 They took a photo and among his comments, Darius said, I'm going to try to Superman punch someone
spk_0 Sunday. Let's go to Sunday. Shall we? It's the end of the game. Darius Leonard is in fact going to
spk_0 call game against the Sean Watson. You're going to see the pick and then he gets up and what does
spk_0 Darius Leonard do? Fall down. Look out. Can he still? Oh, no. That's a linebacker.
spk_0 Dude, we're laughing. You're laughing. What do you remember about all that?
spk_0 I remember that play like a musician. Man dropping just in, you know, just a cover three,
spk_0 seeing the end cut. He throws the ball, the ball is tip, just laying out for it.
spk_0 And then getting back up, I knew that it was one man to beat man. It just went back to my ice
spk_0 today's man. Just still for him. I got one arms and I knew that if I get my right home
spk_0 free man, I was able to still form a man. It's just a mess. I love seeing guys be still for him
spk_0 by me. Hit the ground. So it's great. Then when I saw that I got to hang you,
spk_0 runs man. It was it was it was lit. It was very lit, man. I'm great for us.
spk_0 It was lit, dude. We give out a scepter nowadays, but back in the day, what you're seeing there,
spk_0 Darius got a crown. Shack got a crown. He got the crown. Do you still have it? And if not,
spk_0 we will send you a scepter. Of course, I still have it, man. It's in my
spk_0 pool. I was right now, man. I have it. I have a land out because when you see it now,
spk_0 man, you see a lot of guys that get that habit. And then I got a lot of my my kids that come over
spk_0 and we watch film and stuff and I show some of the things in the bring that out and let them know
spk_0 that all the first defensive guy to get that man is it's pretty cool. And you know,
spk_0 you got to have some bright reports with each kid nowadays, man.
spk_0 Shack, what do you make of the fact that the Colts Kyle said a couple segments ago?
spk_0 Maybe the only team in the NFL right now where both quarterbacks have angry run scepters.
spk_0 Is that emblematic of what the Colts are about this season?
spk_0 Of course. You know, they have to say that was that the coast, man. It's always about, you know,
spk_0 the run game, man. Get involved in the run game and being physical. And you see Quentin
spk_0 Nelson out of time talking about being physical and finishing the blocks and we always talk about
spk_0 finishing the run. And that's what the guys are. I mean, that mentality over there with
spk_0 Anthony Richner. He's definitely going to try to run you over with a big body. And then
spk_0 then Jones, he's going to try to run you over too because it's all about physicality and put
spk_0 it on tape there. They're not backing down from any one. And it's just great to see the physical
spk_0 ity there now in its office. Shack, shout out your high school team that you're coaching. How we
spk_0 look in the season? Who we playing Friday night? Oh, man, we, uh, let me high school. We got, um,
spk_0 we got covers, Bay coming to town, man. There, there's seven and no eight. No, I guess. Uh, so
spk_0 eight. Everybody's against it. So we take it on an underdog role. Uh, just come out and just play
spk_0 the best. I'll be looking at see me come on and get a bigger. Let's go. Like view Shaq Leonard,
spk_0 everybody long time friend of the show. Thank you so much for coming on talking about life now.
spk_0 And congratulations once again on a wonderful career.
spk_0 My man.
spk_0 Send him the scepter. He has a crown on us up there. Look at that.
spk_0 Uh, it's so good.
spk_0 Hey, this Matt Jones, now I'm Drew Franklin. And this is NFL cover zero. We're just here to
spk_0 try to give you an NFL perspective a little bit different. Did you see the Colts pretzel that

spk_0 What's up everybody? Daniel Jeremiah here and I'm Bucky Brooks.
spk_0 On Move the Sticks, we take you inside the game from scouting reports and player development
spk_0 to team build a philosophy's coaching trends and how front offices can stroke winning rustles.

spk_0 It's the kind of conversation that connects to dots from college football prospects to the NFL
spk_0 stores of tomorrow. We break down the draft, analyze matchups and evaluate how teams put it all
spk_0 together on game day. Plus we dig in the coaching strategies, roster construction and the trends that
spk_0 shape the league year after year. Whether you're a die hard fan or just love understanding the game
spk_0 on a deeper level, we give you the full picture. If you want insight that goes beyond the box score,
spk_0 this podcast is for you. Don't miss it. Listen to the Move the Six Podcast on the I heart radio app
spk_0 Apple podcast or wherever you get your podcasts. Here we go. Let's do it live on the line. That's
spk_0 going to be you guys. That is the role you play in this segment because you are on the phone line.
spk_0 We have all kinds of phones here, including working ones. We are now going to take live calls.
spk_0 They are not plans. They're not GMFB staff members. They are real NFL fans with something to say.
spk_0 I put on my Princeton sweatshirt today just to trigger you to give you something to just hate.
spk_0 Give your opinions a little bit stronger, maybe a little saltier. Let's find out first. What we do
spk_0 here is I'm going to have the King of the Hill, Queen of the Hill, whoever has the best call will stay on
spk_0 that hill until someone knocks them off. At the end of the segment we'll have a winner. Is this thing
spk_0 on? We have many, many, many people on hold and we start first with an Arizona Cardinals fan.
spk_0 This should be good. Let's go to Marty in Virginia. Marty, you were on the air. Go. We got 30 seconds.
spk_0 Kyle, I'm angry at a gloveless cam scatterbook. Where's my gloves? Try to where's my team.
spk_0 The performance on Sunday by Arizona is inexcusable on your own turf. The Cardinals home record
spk_0 the past four years is 10 and 18. That record is not a reflection of the players. No.
spk_0 That record speaks volumes of the lack of discipline and motivation and that starts with the
spk_0 coaching staff. This team was one game away from Super Bowl, a Carson Palmer and drew
spk_0 stand in that quarterback and with Bruce Aries as they had coached.
spk_0 All right, Marty, you were just getting ramped up. You were passionate but you were really solid
spk_0 and I understand. Basically after that loss that you just had to the Titans, it could have
spk_0 been a lot worse than that. One of the strangest losses, I think it was Ryan Fitzpatrick. In fact,
spk_0 I know it was. Fitz was on Twitter saying that's the worst loss I've ever seen and it really was
spk_0 baffling. Not only the drop at the goal line but then the ridiculous fumble and interception.
spk_0 Touchdown thing by the Titans. Marty, I'm proud of you for standing in your shoes. Oh, look,
spk_0 we have video of you. You can relive it one more time. Marty, if you're hanging on right now with
spk_0 references to Carson Palmer and Drew Stanton, have a look at this. Oh, great. It's an interception.
spk_0 Way and end. End of the day and end of that's the Benny Hill, Yakitty Sacks. Guys,
spk_0 you're into the Titans. I'm supposed to cheer you up for something. I'm not doing it. Absolutely
spk_0 terrible loss. I like the Cardinals. I like a lot of what they're going on but the fact that
spk_0 Marty could be that much of a gentleman, Marty and I will call you that after what will definitely
spk_0 be the worst loss of the 2025 season and only in week five, I respect it. Let's next go. Let's
spk_0 go to a Browns fan. Trish, Trish in the great state of Ohio. What are your thoughts? You have
spk_0 30 seconds. Trish, Ashburn here. Dog in the house. I just want to tell you know, I've been
spk_0 die out of Browns fan forever and this is the first time in a while that I've seen the Browns look
spk_0 okay or at least on our way. Dylan looked good. He brought a great energy. He was accurate.
spk_0 It seemed like he got the fall out of quickly. He was calm. You know, we're die hard, faithful.
spk_0 I know we're all tired. Glutton is for punishment. I think even you know, but like cardiac kids,
spk_0 baby for life. Like let's go. You know what I mean? Oh, you stand up. I think I do know what.
spk_0 Oh, thank you, Trish, but you're out of time. Trish, you're one and four. It's not going well
spk_0 and yet look at you. Mr. Optimistic, Mr. Positive. I like that. You can come in here and
spk_0 absolutely scream about your team about how much you hate them if you want. This is a this has
spk_0 been you for that. But the fact that you could go to Europe and lose to the Carson Wentz,
spk_0 pseudo Vikings and Dylan, everyone, look fine. Look pretty good. The fact that you are there,
spk_0 I don't know if it's a commentary on how beaten down you are that the fact that you're one and
spk_0 four and kind of competed is happy or maybe you're just choosing to go glass glass half full
spk_0 even though that glass is likely full of Tito's Baca. Trish, respect. I like that you do that.
spk_0 Probably a lot of Browns fans don't do that. You know, we should hear from
spk_0 Giants fans. This is a guy named Joey in New Jersey, one of roughly 300,000 Joey's in the
spk_0 great state of New Jersey. Joey, the Giants fan, you have 30 seconds. Let it rip Joey.
spk_0 Going on Kyle, I'm a big big fan from New Jersey. I was in New Orleans over the weekend.
spk_0 First two off sets of drives, everything was looking good. Life was good. But after that,
spk_0 you know, how it went, you know, it's a rookie quarterback in the second game. I get
spk_0 excited, but the defense was what really got me upset. It's too good on paper to be,
spk_0 to be shut out by the safety. It has no stack. I think they only had one quarterback hit.
spk_0 And then you look around the week and they ran out of time. Joey, just like you, buddy,
spk_0 listen guys, it's a 30 seconds. This is not one of these three hour radio shows. It's a tight
spk_0 TV show. You got to come flying out of the gates. Take, take, take, take opinion joke. Whatever,
spk_0 there's no warm up. There's no how you doing. Joey, I love you. I respect you. It was a fun one
spk_0 week, though. Wasn't it where the Giants won and they beat the chargers and these two rookies are
spk_0 so cool. They'll get back there. But that was a tough loss. I love that Joey went from New Jersey
spk_0 to New Orleans to see Jackson Dart versus Spencer Ratler. You can't miss that. Joey, call next week.
spk_0 I got you again. Guys, I'm going to, I'm going to test now. This is, my producers notes say that
spk_0 this caller is, is, is Renee and it literally says in the doc, pronounced like Renee Russo.
spk_0 That producer knows me. I know Renee Russo. Renee, in Wisconsin, on the Texans, Renee,
spk_0 first of all, I'm going to put you on the spot. What is your favorite Renee Russo movie and then tell
spk_0 us about the Texans? Go. Jesus, I can't even think of a Renee Russo movie right now. Thomas
spk_0 Crown and Fair. I'm happy that the, excuse me. Just go, just go, Renee, do you, you got 12 seconds.
spk_0 Sorry. Okay. Number one, I'm happy that the Texans finally got their heads out of their behinds
spk_0 and actually won a game against, I know, an injury-riddled Ravens team, but I'm so happy we scored so many
spk_0 points. As Virginia sees it, I was kind of peeled at Jamie because she threw the Texans,
spk_0 selling it off the damn table. All right. That's our best call so far. One, I messed it up by putting
spk_0 Renee on the spot about, Renee Russo. I would have gone Thomas Crown and Fair, but you could have
spk_0 gone in the line of fire. Head up her butt. She actually had beef with Jamie. Nobody has a beef with
spk_0 Jamie. Jamie didn't, you know, Renee didn't like how Jamie threw the Texans helmet off the table
spk_0 because they didn't pick the Texans being in the playoffs. Renee, currently you are at the top of the
spk_0 heap right now. On last, we're going to go right now to a chief scholar. This is in Missouri. This is
spk_0 Debbie and I'm looking at the notes and it says WTF happened last night and what was Chris Jones doing.
spk_0 Debbie in Missouri. Can you take out Renee for best call? You got 30 seconds.
spk_0 Okay. I wanted to tell you what it's like to be a chief fan. First of all, we're up. We're up.
spk_0 Everybody's happy smiling and my homies on the sideline cheering everybody up and smiling.
spk_0 I'm thinking, oh my gosh, it's good. We're good. Then we go into second half and it's all
spk_0 goes downhill from there and the whole play. I'm still thinking we're good until I see Trevor Lawrence
spk_0 on the ground. Yeah, we're going to win. Where is our deep end? And then Chris Jones is standing at the
spk_0 Filto line like it. Debbie, I can't really sympathize that much when you come in and say
spk_0 what it's like to be a chief fan. I'm sorry. Did you guys get a flat tire on your Rolls Royce?
spk_0 What happened? You have a little bit of a plum and leaky sink in your mansion. You have had a wonderful,
spk_0 wonderful run that you're still in the middle of. I know the team isn't as good this year and I
spk_0 know the record isn't as good. And oh, wow, you lost in prime time. I don't have a lot of sympathy.
spk_0 I'm sorry, Debbie. I'm sure you can imagine why it's been that good. But I will say the Chris
spk_0 Jones thing is fascinating. If you've not seen this clip yet this morning on the game, when he's
spk_0 touched on by Trevor Lawrence, where he falls and then falls again. Future Hall of Famer, Chris Jones,
spk_0 it looks like he's standing there and checking his phone or smoking a cigarette or something.
spk_0 I love Chris Jones full respect. Well, this is a very bizarre play. It's as if he wants to let the
spk_0 Jaguar score, which some defenses do, but not in this context. Again, the Jaguars had no time
spk_0 out. If you touch Trevor Lawrence down here, the clock is tickling. The Jaguars are scrambling.
spk_0 Just get him down. You may win the game there. It's weird, weird look for Chris Jones. He's
spk_0 going to be asked about that a lot. He's going to have to have a good answer. Let's do one more call.
spk_0 Let's do, should we do a Niners fan, a Seahawks fan? You know what? Let's do a Pats fan. From Oregon,
spk_0 Sam, in Oregon, on line five, you have 30 seconds. You're the last caller. Currently, Renee from
spk_0 Wisconsin is on the top of the hill. Can you knock Renee off? Let's find out. Go.
spk_0 Hello, Kyle Jamie. Man, Kyle. Love you all. You're great. Go to New England. Go Patriot. Drake
spk_0 May is looking like the new Josh Allen and the division. Mike Vrable, I'd go to war for him.
spk_0 I commit the heinous crime for him, probably. He's the man. That's Blue Gledgen.
spk_0 And the stock calls for Paul Real quick, Oregon State Beavers. It's a hard time to be a
spk_0 fever fan. I apologize. It's a sad, bow and sick, not looking good. This is crazy that I'm on here.
spk_0 Not an expected.
spk_0 Sam, I love you. It sucks when you run out of script and your script can only carry 20 seconds
spk_0 so then you pivot to an Oregon State football take, which can only carry six seconds.
spk_0 And the last five is just this is crazy to be on here. It's crazy for me to Sam. I can't believe
spk_0 we're doing this. I've been on the show 10 years. We've never done anything like it.
spk_0 Yet, so our winner is Renee in Wisconsin, who only had a 12 second take, but it had teeth.
spk_0 She called out Jamie, which I like just because it's different and it's fresh. And I put her on
spk_0 the spot with the Renee Russo movie. And it's fine. You're not supposed to know. At least the weapon
spk_0 three. I don't know. Renee, you won. But really the winner is all of us. We got through it.
spk_0 It is GMFB radio also known as on the line. Start calling for next week. We have thousands and
spk_0 thousands of callers. You'll tweet it and we don't come through. But until then, the lines are closed.
