Guaranteed Human. Good Morning Football is a production of the NFL in partnership with IHeart Radio. Welcome to our breakfast table. Welcome to Good Morning Football Live in New York City, Monday, August 30th. My name is Kay Adams, Peter Strick, Carl Brandt, and hanging out with us all week long, the early shift for our family member. Yeah. Oh, thank you. Thank you. Let's go, baby. Thank you. Glad to be back, guys. Are you ready to go? I'm high. You got your passwords figured out? I'm hype. I got some of my passwords figured out. I hadn't quite got them all. Your Microsoft Surface plugged in, ready to go? We locked in, ready to roll, guys. We want to get to We've lost to get to highlights, headlines. We're all set, what, 10 days away from the regular season? It kicking off to 2021. We're kicking your day off with Lee Block. Lee Block! Preseason football is great this week. There's a lot of stars playing. I mean, superstars, big timers, and guys we're still looking to prove things. I know we're going to talk Giants, we're going to talk Patriots,

we're going to talk Mac and Cam, just from that three

preseason games. I have a lot of hope

that all three of those players play a big role in this team.

I think they recharge their batteries in free agency.

I think they nailed the draft, and it's

not too early to say that freezing cold takes come get me. But you think Cam probably starts week one, but it's his, but it's...

I think Mac might start week one.

What?

You know, Cam played so little that made me think maybe he's the guy who is starting week one. That's what I thought. Yeah, I agree. I don't know. I just got two weeks. Yeah. And Belichick said we haven't made our decision. If they knock these out of the park, it dispels a lot of criticism that Belichick has dealt with over recent years about, yeah, they just haven't drafted the right guys. And that's why Belichick was always, you know, they didn't have the weapons, other teams draft better. DeAngelo, what do you think? I mean, Max dialed in, you know, to Peter's point, I want to see Cam out there because this football team is different when Cam's out there, right? It's just easier for them

to operate their offense from time to time because you can incorporate their quarterback ring game into the equation. But man, when you watch Mack Jones, like, I was wrong. And Mac, I'm here, I'm admitting it. I was wrong. When were you wrong, pre-draft? I mean, yes, yes, pre-draft.

Versus Tray Lance.

Just so vanilla, right?

Compared to Tray Lance.

Yes, compared to Tray-Land. It's just so vanilla, right?

Compared to Tray-Lans? Compared to the upside. But there's still a place in this league for athletic, or smart athletic quarterbacks that aren't overly athletic that's going to beat you, you know, scrambling out the pocket. but athletic enough to keep the play alive, right?

You kind of have seen it from Aaron Rogers over the last decade or so with his career, the way he extends plays. And I kind of see a little bit of that with Mack Jones. The ability to, you know, kind of step out of that. I didn't really see that at Alabama. I felt like everything had to be perfect around Mac Jones.

And I'm starting to dispel that rumor that it has to be perfect.

And I'm watching them operate.

I was in New England to watch him play Washington the first preseason game.

And he just looked so poised and under control.
