00:00Let's get to break a leg.
00:01Jack broke a leg for you.
00:02You don't have to break a leg.
00:03All right, let's get to another one.
00:05We're going no huddle.
00:07With the Midday Show, no huddle.
00:08The best the NFL has to offer.
00:10Let's go now, let's go.
00:11Set.
00:13All right, week one depth chart is out.
00:16Kendall Daniels is listed as the starting linebacker next to Divine Diablo.
00:20No surprise.
00:20No surprise, but really fun.
00:22Yeah.
00:23I'm so excited to see that young guy, Harold Perkins, obviously Avion Terrell.
00:28Like, there's probably more rookies going to be on the field.
00:32I guess last year, obviously, you had Pierce and Walker.
00:35But later round rookies on the field for the Falcons in week one than we've seen in a while.
00:41Yeah, I mean.
00:41Exciting young players.
00:42Yeah, I think, you know, when you look at Avion, he's going to start at the nickel position.
00:46But eventually, he'll be the starting corner opposite of his brother.
00:49You look at where Daniels is.
00:51I mean, we've talked about him all offseason, all training camp, about the respect these guys have with him.
00:57He's one of them dudes.
00:58He talks a lot of trash and everything, which is all in fun.
01:00But, yeah, having him there, getting to see Harold Perkins Jr., he's going to play a lot in his game.
01:04Obviously, I'm waiting to see Zachariah.
01:07Pretty sure he's going to be the punt returner.
01:09And so that would be a lot of fun.
01:11It doesn't look like Billy Bowman's all the way back yet, Andy.
01:15It just seemed like it would have been pretty fast.
01:17Yeah, it looks like he's all the way back.
01:18But he's not on PUP.
01:19But he's not on PUP.
01:20And so getting him back.
01:21I doubt he plays in this game.
01:22But, yeah, getting him back there.
01:24But, yeah, it's an exciting time for these young fellows because they've earned a position.
01:27I know we haven't seen a lot of Avion this offseason dealt with the hammy, I think it was.
01:31But he's going to get an opportunity to go out there.
01:33Like Dave said, like these are some big dudes that they have.
01:36Yeah.
01:37You know, these are big.
01:37This is a big physical Pittsburgh-looking team.
01:40Yeah.
01:40I mean, D.K. Metcalf, Michael Pittman, obviously Pat Friermuth.
01:45Darnell Washington is like a, you know, mountain of a human.
01:50Yes.
01:51And they've got a big offensive lineman, too.
01:53Yeah, man, they're a big-ass team.
01:54They are a big-ass team.
01:55Jalen Warren's not, like, the most imposing running guy.
01:58But he gets lost behind him.
01:58But they've got Rico Dowdle, too.
02:00And they get lost behind him.
02:01Really nice, like, sneaky little pickup in the offseason for them.
02:05Yeah.
02:05And he's a hell of a receiver out of the backfield, too.
02:08Yeah.
02:08And the way Aaron throws the ball, he's a check down.
02:11He's become a check down shot.
02:12He can still throw it downfield, but he's a check down guy.
02:14And the one thing, as he's gotten older, you can frustrate his ass.
02:19Talk about Aaron Rodgers.
02:20You can frustrate him.
02:20You can frustrate him and, you know, him blaming teammates and doing that crazy little thing.
02:24Oh, yeah, he will do some.
02:25He'll do a lot of, like, passive-aggressive blaming on the field.
02:29Yes.
02:29D.K. Metcalf has shared some of his thoughts about Antarctica.
02:33Have you seen any of this?
02:34No.
02:35He thinks that there's a secret civilization hidden underneath the ice in Antarctica.
02:39Right.
02:40Which worries me because that just means him and Aaron Rodgers couldn't possibly be more
02:44on the same page.
02:44They are clicked.
02:45Yeah.
02:45Yeah.
02:45Like, that's definitely, like, an article that Aaron forwarded to him.
02:50And D.K. read it.
02:51Yeah.
02:51And so they're like, yeah.
02:52Anytime I read something, I say, hmm, huh.
02:56I tried my best not to believe it.
02:58Yeah, I don't think there is one.
02:59But if D.K. believes there is.
03:01Go ahead, man.
03:02Go for it.
03:03Go ahead.
03:03Have at it, my boy.
03:04Have at it, my boy.
03:05Hey, Baker Mayfield got his contract.
03:07Now, I was told he wasn't going to be negotiating once things got underway.
03:12It's not underway.
03:13He said season starts.
03:14Oh, just the season.
03:15Yes, he said season starts.
03:16Oh, I thought it meant.
03:17Season starts Sunday.
03:18He said training camp.
03:19He said season.
03:20Training camp ended.
03:21Season starts.
03:22Oh, the training camp ended.
03:23Training camp ended.
03:23Season starts on Sunday.
03:25He said training camp.
03:25Season starts on Sunday.
03:28Well, if you offer me $165 million.
03:30We're not negotiating when the season starts.
03:33Season starts.
03:33You could offer me $165 million on February 29th, and I would say yes.
03:38Yeah, season starts.
03:39Yeah.
03:39So, anyway, he got that done.
03:40Good for him.
03:41Yeah, man.
03:41I love it for him.
03:43He deserves it.
03:44I mean, the guy is, I mean, you lose a guy like Tom Brady, and, you know, Baker comes
03:49in, and he stays the ship.
03:50You don't fall off or anything like that.
03:53So, yeah, I'm so happy for Baker because he really, really, truly deserves it.
03:56I want to hear about that crap about Chip on the shoulder.
03:59He's always looking for Chip on the shoulder.
04:00He's Baker.
04:01Yeah, but I mean.
04:01He's always been short.
04:02At a certain point, you ate the chip.
04:04You know what I mean?
04:05Like, you've got to prove it yourself.
04:06He won a Heisman, was the number one overall pick, and now he has the first and third highest
04:11contracts in the history of the Bucs.
04:13Yeah.
04:13Shut the hell up, Baker.
04:14Like, you've done it.
04:14You're good.
04:15Yeah.
04:15And go play football.
04:15You don't have to be a chip anymore.
04:16You're just a good quarterback.
04:17Yeah.
04:18That can be enough.
04:19Yeah, but NFL season officially is tonight.
04:22New England at Seattle.
04:23Ring night.
04:24Banner night.
04:24All that other stuff up there.
04:25See your brother going?
04:27No.
04:27No, I can't.
04:28Yeah.
04:28So, everything is going to be a lot of scene.
04:30It's going to be a lot of fun.
04:31I mean, the coverage of it starts soon.
04:34We said the Blues.
04:35Who's the Soundgarden?
04:36It's a halftime show.
04:38Yeah.
04:38So, I mean.
04:38Obviously not Chris Cornell because he's dead.
04:41You're going to have, like, it's on NBC, right?
04:43So, Mike Tomlin's going to debut and all these different things.
04:46So, it's going to be a whole lot of stuff going on, man.
04:47But, yeah, excited that the season gets started.
04:49Hate rematches.
04:50But, at the same time, who cares?
04:51Yeah.
04:52You got football.
04:52It would be more fun if it was, like, Seahawks-Rams.
04:55Or something like that.
04:56Because sometimes they'll do that.
04:57In the past, I remember when the Seahawks beat the Broncos in the Super Bowl, they kicked
05:02off the next year against the Packers.
05:03And I think that's who they beat in the NFC Championship game.
05:06So, it was, like, a little bit more at stake.
05:08You know what I mean?
05:09I would love to see them play the Broncos or something, maybe.
05:11See them with Broncos, maybe.
05:12That would be good.
05:13I would just.
05:13Give me an NFC team.
05:14Like, give me something with a little more at stake.
05:16Dallas.
05:16Yeah, Dallas.
05:17Exactly.
05:18That would be good.
05:19Somebody that thinks they're, like, a contender in the NFC.
05:21But that's always, like, are they playing the NFC East this year?
05:24Yeah, I know what you mean.
05:26You can't always have the perfect matchup.
05:28It's fun to have a Super Bowl rematch as well.
05:31And it'll be awesome to have NFL football back tonight.
05:34Both these teams have a lot of question marks, too.
05:36Like, I mean, the Patriots had, you know, a really, obviously, great run in the playoffs
05:39last year.
05:40But who played Dallas?
05:41Oh, Dallas is on schedule.
05:42Aided by a number of different factors in the playoffs.
05:45Seahawks have a ton of injuries coming into this game.
05:47Especially the secondary.
05:48Yeah, and they're trying to replace the Super Bowl MVP at running back.
05:51You lost one safety, and the other one is questionable.
05:53So, yeah, they're banged up right there.
05:55But they're still a very good young team.
05:56They still got them pass rushes that get after.
05:58They do.
05:59They got them linebackers that run, hit, and just.
06:02And they still have Jackson, Smith, and Jigwin.
06:03And they got that guy.
06:04And I love that.
06:06I mean, you think about the cross matchup.
06:07Him versus Chris Gonzalez.
06:09And then you got A.J. Brown versus Devin Witherspoon.
06:12Witherspoon, yeah.
06:12The two highest paid corners.
06:13Yes.
06:14Just got paid this offseason.
06:15I know, did Jigwin get paid last offseason or this offseason?
06:19This offseason.
06:19This offseason.
06:20So, him and A.J. Brown gets traded there.
06:22Yeah, no, this is a heavyweight matchup.
06:24I mean, obviously, it's a Super Bowl rematch.
06:26And then you got the underlying nonsense as well.
06:29The Seahawks got sold in the offseason for like $10 billion.
06:32That's true.
06:33Mike Vrabel's having a salacious affair with an insider.
06:35I'm sure that'll come up at some point.
06:37Who she is, by the way, ready to tell her side of the story.
06:40What is your.
06:41I don't know.
06:41Why?
06:42Don't.
06:43You did it.
06:43You did it.
06:44Right?
06:44Yeah, we don't need to tell all.
06:46Okay.
06:46All right.
06:47You did it.
06:47I know.
06:48But that's.
06:49You did it.
06:49Perfect timing, isn't it?
06:51All the stories are starting to circulate the day that they play their first game of the
06:54season.
06:55She's ready to make her return to media.
06:57You know where she's going to go.
06:59You're going to Barstool.
07:00Right?
07:01Oh, yeah.
07:01She works for Barstool.
