Summary

This Week Peter King brings you his NFL Season Opening Spectacular. Denver linebacker Von Miller on his European offseason (he saw Drake in concert 22 times), and on his June pass-rush camp that attracted players from around the league--even from the hated Raiders... Oakland quarterback Derek Carr on the meaninglessness (to him) of being the highest-paid quarterback in football, even if only for a few weeks this offseason, and on the difficulty of missing the biggest games of his life after breaking his leg late last season with the Raiders on a playoff run ... ESPN’s Mike Reiss, who covers the Patriots, on the dealing with the mysterious Bill Belichick, and on New England’s chances to repeat in 2017 ... Tennessee quarterback Marcus Mariota on the weight of expectations for the Titans to finally be good again, and on why Hawaii, his native state, is so firmly implanted in his psyche.

0:00.0	Hello, I'm Peter King. Welcome to the MMQB podcast with Peter King, where I take you inside the minds of the biggest influencers in the NFL.
0:12.0	This week, my NFL season... in the NFL.

0:48.0	And again, I hope that people are not bored when I give my preseason pick but I'm picking the
0:55.5	Seattle Seahawks to beat the New England Patriots in the Super Bowl this year a
1:00.4	rematch of the Super Bowl three years ago that caused such heartache for the
1:06.2	entire state of Washington and for much of the Pacific Northwest and that made
1:12.2	Malcolm Butler a household name in many households not just in New England.
1:18.0	But I'm picking those two teams because the more I watch football these days the more I believe that much of the NFL and much of the playoff picture is determined, decided, and won in the off season,
1:39.0	particularly how you respond to the problems that beset your franchise.
1:46.2	And this year, we had two major problems
1:50.4	beset, the Seattle Seahawks and New England Patriots.
1:54.0	The Seahawks wanted a new three-technic defensive tackle, drafted one with their top pick in the
2:00.4	April draft.
2:01.5	Malik McDowell of Michigan State.
2:04.8	McDowell had an ATV accident in the off season.
