Baker Mayfield joins Peyton & Eli during Cardinals vs. Cowboys | ‘MNF ManningCast’

YOU’RE THINKING ARID.
>> LET’S WELCOME IN THE >> Peyton: WELCOME IN.
THE QUARTERBACK OF THE TAMPA BAY BUCS, BAKER MAYFIELD.
BEFORE WE GET STARTED, CAN WE AGREE THIS IS AN NFL SHOW?
WE SHOULDN’T DISCUSS TENNESSEE/OKLAHOMA AT ANY POINT?
>> Baker: NO, ABSOLUTELY NOT. WE CAN — WE’RE GOOD ON THAT.
>> Peyton: GOOD. GLAD WE MADE THAT CLEAR.
GO AHEAD, E. YOUR WITNESS.
>> Eli: YOUR BUCS ARE 6-2 IN FIRST PLACE IN THE NFC SOUTH.
YOU KNOW, HOW GOOD ARE YOU FEELING ABOUT WHERE YOUR TEAM IS
AT THIS STAGE OF THE SEASON? >> Baker: I FEEL GOOD, YOU KNOW,
WE HAVE HAD A LOT OF INJURIES SO FAR, BUT — THERE YOU GO.
JUST — THE GUYS ARE MAKING PLAYS, AND THEY’VE STEPPED UP IN
A BIG WAY, AND I THINK OUR DEFENSE RIGHT NOW IS IN A REALLY
GOOD PLACE, JUST THE WAY THEY’RE PRESSURING.
>> Peyton: GO AHEAD, E. PUT HIM ON THE SPOT AND TELL HIM
WHERE WE ARE. >> Eli: ALL RIGHT.
WE’RE IN THE RED ZONE HERE. WE GOT A LITTLE PREDICTION.
WHAT DO YOU THINK’S GOING TO HAPPEN HERE ON THIS DRIVE, AND,
YOU KNOW, IF YOU ARE RIGHT, I’LL PUT YOU UP ON THE BOARD.
PREDICTION PANEL. >> Baker: I WOULD LOVE TO BE UP
ON THE BOARD. UM.
THEY GOT TO TRY AND FIND A WAY TO GET TREY McBRIDE TO FALL DOWN
HERE. >> Eli: I LIKE THAT.
I LIKE THAT. >> Baker: I GOT A McBRIDE
TOUCHDOWN CATCH. >> Eli: THERE WE GO.
THEY’RE FEEDING MARVIN HARRISON THIS GAME SO FAR, PEYT.
>> Peyton: THEY ARE. THEY’VE FED.
MARVIN’S DAD HAD SOME POIGNANT COMMENTS ABOUT HIS THOUGHTS ON
THE CARDINALS’ OFFENSE AND SAID IT LOOKS LIKE — LOOKS LIKE —
>> Eli: HEY, LISTEN. >> Peyton: THEY MIGHT HAVE READ
THE SAME THING I READ, AND THEY’RE FEEDING HIM.
HEY. ANY TIME HIS DAD TOLD ME TO
THROW HIM THE BALL, I LISTENED. I THREW HIM THE BALL.
SO HE’S PROBABLY NOT A BAD ADVICE, BUT THAT SHOULD OPEN UP
McBRIDE A LITTLE MORE, RIGHT, BAKER?
THEY’RE FEEDING HARRISON JR., MAYBE THAT SHOULD GET A LITTLE
ONE-ON-ONE FROM McBRIDE AS WELL. >> Baker: YEAH.
THEY’RE SETTING HIM UP AND IT’S GOING REALLY WELL RIGHT NOW.
>> Peyton: ALL RIGHT, BAKER. THIRD — I MEAN, TO ME BECAUSE
WE DIDN’T DO IT A LOT, BUT RIGHT NOW IN TAMPA, ARE THEY TELLING
YOU, HEY, BAKE, WE GOT TWO DOWNS HERE, YOU KNOW, WE’RE DEFINITELY
GOING FIRST ON FOURTH DOWN. YOU’RE HEARING THAT IN YOUR EAR,
RIGHT? >> Baker: YEAH, ABSOLUTELY.
AND IT JUST GIVES YOU THE FREEDOM TO KNOW THAT, YOU KNOW,
IF THE PLAY’S NOT THERE, DON’T FORCE IT.
OBVIOUSLY IN THE RED ZONE HERE, YOU’RE TAKING POINTS REGARDLESS.
THEY’RE MAKING PLAYS, AND THROW IT AWAY EARLY.
IF NOT, MOVE ON. A LITTLE MISDIRECTION.
>> Eli: THERE YOU GO. FIRST DOWN.
FIRST DOWN. AND WHEN THAT HELPS YOU, IT’S,
LIKE, YOU HAVE A PASS PLAY OR SOME LITTLE BOOTLEG OR SOMETHING
WHERE HEY, I DON’T HAVE TO SCRAMBLE HERE AND TRY TO GET THE
FIRST. IF NOTHING’S OPEN, THROW IT
AWAY. WE’LL COME BACK, AND I KNOW
WE’RE GOING TO HAVE A FOURTH DOWN PLAY.
WHEN YOU’RE RUNNING IT, IT DOESN’T CHANGE ANYTHING FOR THE
QUARTERBACK, BUT WHEN YOU HAVE A ONE-MAN ROUTE, SOME SORT OF
STRONG PLAY ACTION, IT GIVES YOU THAT FREEDOM.
HEY. I DON’T HAVE TO FORCE ANYTHING.
I’LL HAVE ANOTHER CHANCE IF WE DON’T GET IT HERE.
>> Peyton: BAKER — >> Baker: IT WAS THE
ONE-TWO-THREE. >> Peyton: ONE-TWO-THREE THROW
IT AWAY. >> Baker: THEY GOT A ONE-ON-ONE
UP TOP. THAT’S NOT GOING THE WAY I
WANTED IT TO GO. >> Peyton: YOU GOT SOME OPTIONS.
>> Eli: YOU CAN CHANGE. THERE IT IS.
LITTLE PLAY ACTION. OH, MARVIN HARRISON.
YOU KNOW WHAT? >> Peyton: I’M GOING TO GIVE IT
TO HIM. HE SAID IT.
HE THREW IT OUT THERE. >> Eli: HE SAID — I’M WORRIED
ABOU AB
ABOUT MARVIN. I’LL GIVE YOU THE PERFECT
PREDICTION. >> Peyton: HE’S SAYING, IF IT
WAS ME RIGHT THERE, I’M THROWING IT UP TOP TO HARRISON.
THAT’S WHY HE’S THERE. MARVIN HARRISON SEEMS HAPPY.
ALL IS GOOD. ALL IS GOOD.
>> Baker: THE HAIR IS LOOKING GOOD RIGHT HERE.
LOOKS LIKE A TOUPEE. PERFECT GOING THROUGH IT.
>> Eli: YEAH. >> Peyton: GOOD.
BAKER, THAT WAS GREAT PATIENCE THERE BY MARVIN HARRISON JR.
AS BRISSETT’S TAKING IT, HE WAS SETTING THEM UP.
GOOD JOB RUNNING THE ROUTE RIGHT THERE.
>> Baker: UNDERSTANDING THE TIMING OF IT.
SOME GUYS HAVE IT AND SOME GUYS DON’T.
>> Peyton: THAT’S IT, MAN. THAT’S IT.
BAKER, STAY WITH US. WE’VE GOT SOME DEEP QUESTIONS
COMING IN THIS NEXT ROUND, SO BE READY.
? 13.
>> WATCH THE. >>> WATCH TO ME.
WATCH TO ME. >> THAT’S RIGHT.
I SHOULD HAVE GONE PRO WHEN I HAD THE CHANCE. >> THAT’S ON ME.
>> THAT’S 50. THAT’S 50.
>> WHAT THE HELL WAS THAT? >> Eli: ALL RIGHT, BAKER.
THAT’S YOU ON THE AMAZON PRIME SHOW “UNDERCOVER” AS YOU
DISGUISE YOURSELF AS A BUCS FAN NAMED GUS SWAYZE DURING A TOUR
OF THE TEAM FACILITY. BAKER, I HAD TO SAY YOU LOOK
INCREDIBLE WITH A MUSTACHE AND A MULLET.
HAVE YOU GIVEN ANY CONSIDERATION TO ADOPTING THE GUS SWAYZE LOOK
FULL-TIME? >> Baker: FULL-TIME’S A STRETCH.
I’LL BE HONEST. THE BEST PART ABOUT THAT WAS THE
KEY CHAIN, THE SUNGLASSES WITH THE CARGO PANTS.
SO MUCH ROOM FOR STORAGE. CROCS IN SPORT MODE.
IT’S A GOOD LOOK. >> Eli: HALLOWEEN.
YOU HAVE A HALLOWEEN FOREVER. KIND OF LIKE ME.
POWERS, I HAVE FOREVER. MUSTACHE, GOOD FLOW.
GOOD LETTUCE. >> Baker: THAT’S A GOOD LOOK,
ELI. >> Peyton: IT’S AGGRESSIVE.
THAT’S WHAT I CALL AN AGGRESSIVE LOOK.
BAKER, LOOK. DAK HAS CEEDEE LAMB.
HE’S GOT PICKENS. HE’S GOT FERGUSON.
LOTS OF OPTIONS, BUT YOU KNOW BETTER THAN ANYONE WHAT CEEDEE
LAMB WAS LIKE IN OKLAHOMA. WHAT MAKES HIM SPECIAL AS A
RECEIVER? >> Baker: TELL YOU WHAT.
HE’S JUST GOT SO MANY NATURAL FITS, BUT HIS BODY CONTROL, HE’S
A NATURAL PASS RUSHER. IT’S ALWAYS INTO HIS HANDS.
HE’S HAD SOME DROPS THIS YEAR THAT HE GETS FRUSTRATED ABOUT,
BUT HE’S SO GOOD AT IT, I THINK WE TAKE IT FOR GRANTED
SOMETIMES, AND HIS BODY CONTROL IN THE AIR, I’VE NEVER SEEN
ANYTHING LIKE IT, AND THAT’S FROM THE TIME HE WAS 18 YEARS
OLD. >> Peyton: GOOD PLAY BY PICKENS
RIGHT THERE. DAK JUST SAID LAST YEAR
EVERYBODY KNEW HE WAS THROWING TO IT LAMB.
IT’S NICE TO HAVE PICKENS AND HOPEFULLY IT SHOULD HELP BOTH
GUYS OUT A LITTLE BIT. LAMB GOT HURT A LITTLE BIT.
THEY MOVED PICKENS AROUND A LITTLE BIT.
BOTH THESE GUYS, YOU CAN MOVE THEM IN THE SLOT AND OUTSIDE.
BAKER, ELI AND I WERE BREAKING DOWN THIS CARDINALS’ DEFENSE
THIS WEEK. IT’S ONE OF THOSE TEAMS WHERE
YOU REALLY DON’T KNOW WHAT THE COVERAGE IS UNLESS YOU’RE IN THE
HUDDLE. I MEAN, THEY KNEW EVERYTHING.
Y’ALL PLAY THEM LATER THIS YEAR. WHAT’S THE CHALLENGE OF PLAYING
A DEFENSE THAT GIVES YOU SOMETHING DIFFERENT EVERY SINGLE
SNAP? >> Baker: BUDDA.
I MEAN, THIS GUY CAN BE DOWN THE LINE OF SCRIMMAGE BACK IN PLAYS
THE MIDDLE THIRD. IT’S JUST — HE’S SO VERSATILE,
SUCH A GOOD BLITZER. YOU’VE GOT TO KNOW WHERE HE’S AT
BOTH TIMES, BUT I MEAN, THEY’RE TRYING TO GET THESE GUYS THAT
ARE PERSONAL DBs WHERE THEY CAN KIND OF INTERCHANGE THEM AND IT
MAKES IT HARD WHEN YOU HAVE GUYS THAT ARE ABLE TO DO THE SAME
THINGS. DISGUISE THE COVERAGE, ALSO
PRESSURE. IT’S GOOD STUFF.
YOU GOT TO BE KEEN TO SOME OF THE FRONT LOOKS AND MAYBE
THEY’LL BEAT THEMSELVES. >> Peyton: YOU TRY TO GET A TIP
ON SOMETHING ELSE, RIGHT? BECAUSE YEAH —
>> Baker: YEAH. >> Peyton: AND I THINK BUDDA
KNOWS EXACTLY WHAT YOU’RE LOOKING FOR AND TRYING TO
IDENTIFY HIM, AND IF HE DOES THE OPPOSITE, I THINK —
>> Baker: ABSOLUTELY. >> Eli: HERE’S A LITTLE BLITZ.
LITTLE BLITZ SCREEN. THERE YOU GO.
THERE’S THAT MOVEMENT RIGHT THERE.
LOOK AT HIM. >> Baker: HEY.
BALL IN HIS HANDS. HE’S DAMN GOOD.
>> Eli: THAT’S WHAT THEY WANT. THEY WANT TO TRY TO GET A BLITZ
RIGHT THERE, TRY TO GET IT TO THIRD AND LONG SO THEY CAN —
THEY DON’T WANT DALLAS AT THIRD AND 2.
THIRD AND 2, YOU ALMOST HAVE TO PLAY MAN.
THEY CONTINUE WANT TO PLAY MAN VERSUS THESE GUYS.
YOU DON’T WANT TO BE MAN ON CEEDEE OR PICKENS AND FERGUSON.
SO IT WILL BE INTERESTING WHETHER THEY WILL STILL PLAY
ZONE AND GIVE UP SOME SHORT, LITTLE THROWS.
>> Baker: ZONE — >> Eli: NOT GIVE UP THE BIG
PLAY. YEAH.
>> Peyton: ZONE RIGHT THERE BASED ON THE RUNNING BACK.
YOU KNOW IT’S ZONE. GOOD TIME TO RUN IT.
>> Eli: YEP. >> Peyton: BAKER, WE’RE SEEING A
LOT OF QUARTERBACKS PLAYING FOR DIFFERENT TEAMS AND HAVING GREAT
YEARS. JONES, YOU’RE HAVING A GREAT
YEAR, YOU KNOW, YOU’RE KIND OF SEEN AS THE GUY WHO’S PROVED
THAT QUARTERBACKS CAN DO WELL, YOU KNOW, WITH ANOTHER
OPPORTUNITY, A SECOND CHANCE, AND QUARTERBACKS THAT HAVE MOVED
ON REACHED OUT TO YOU FOR ANY ADVICE ABOUT GOING SOMEWHERE
ELSE AND KICKING BUTT? >> Baker: NO, NOT EXACTLY.
I MEAN, I THINK IT WAS MORE SAM DARNOLD AND I SHARED A WORK
TOGETHER IN SOUTH CAROLINA. THAT WAS IT.
YEAH, BUT IT’S JUST THE RIGHT OPPORTUNITY FIGURING IT OUT.
HE WAS GOING TO GET A POP THERE. YEAH.
IT’S JUST SYSTEM-BASED AND, YOU KNOW, AT THE STAGE OF MY CAREER
I’M IN NOW, FIGURING OUT WHAT YOU LIKE, WHAT YOU DON’T LIKE,
AND TRYING TO TAKE CONTROL OF IT, AND THAT’S — THAT’S THE
BIGGEST THING AS A YOUNG PLAYER. YOU REALLY CAN HAVE MORE COMMAND
OF THE OFFENSE AND WHAT YOU WANT TO GET DONE, BUT YOU JUST DON’T
HAVE THE CONFIDENCE IN IT YET. >> Eli: BAKER, I THINK IT’S
WORTH REMINDING PEOPLE ABOUT YOUR JOURNEY.
BACK IN 2022, WHEN YOU WERE WITH THE PANTHERS, THEY HAD YOU
PLAYING SCOUT TEAM DEFENSIVE END, AND BAKER, MY QUESTION IS,
I MEAN, WOULD YOU HAVE AN NFL FUTURE AS A DEFENSIVE END?
>> Baker: PROBABLY NOT. >> Eli: NO?
>> Baker: PROBABLY NO DEFENSIVE END, BUT I TELL YOU WHAT.
I PLAYED UNTIL THE WHISTLE’S BLOWN.
>> Eli: THERE’S NO SWIM OMOVE? NO MOVE?
>> Baker: THE SPECIAL TEAMS AND YOU HAVE TO GIVE THEM THE
CERTAIN FRONT LOOKS AND ALSO JUST — WHEN YOU ARE NOT
PLAYING, I’M A FOOTBALL GUY. YOU GOT TO BE AROUND THE BALL.
GOT TO BE AROUND THE BOYS IN THE HUDDLE.
HEAR THE CALLS. IT’S A GOOD TIME.
>> Peyton: ALL RIGHT. THIRD AND 1 HERE.
FOR SURE HERE, BAKER, THEY CAN RUN THE BALL HERE.
>> Baker: THEY’RE GOOD FROM THE OPPOSITE 30 ANYWAY.
>> Eli: YEAH. BAKE, I WANT TO GO BACK TO WEEK
SIX. YOU WERE FACING A THIRD AND 14
AGAINST THE 49ers. YOU HAD ONE OF THE PLAYS OF THE
SEASON. WE’LL SHOW IT HERE WHEN WE GET A
SECOND. HERE YOU ARE.
ALL RIGHT. TAKE US THROUGH THE PLAY HERE
AND TELL US WHEN YOU WENT FROM, ALL RIGHT.
AVOID THIS SACK THROUGH — I MIGHT GET THE FIRST DOWN.
>> Baker: RIGHT ABOUT HERE. >> Eli: THERE?
OKAY. >> Baker: IT WAS WEIGHING US
DOWN. YEAH.
DID A GOOD JOB ON THE TWIST GAME UP FRONT.
HAD A COUPLE OF GUYS RUNNING FREE.
SOMEHOW SNUCK OUT OF THAT ONE. >> Eli: WHEN DO YOU WORK ON
THAT? WHAT DAY OF THE WEEK — WHAT DAY
OF THE WEEK DO YOU WORK ON, LIKE, BREAKING TACKLES AND THE
SPIN MOVES, AND SOME OF THAT STUFF?
UP AND UNDER? >> Baker: I TRIED ONE TIME IN
ARKANSAS. IT DIDN’T GO TOO WELL.
I ENDED UP GETTING ARRESTED, BUT I’VE IMPROVED SINCE THEN.
SO, YOU KNOW, JUST FIND THE TIME WHENEVER I CAN.
>> Eli: WE CAN FIND THAT FOOTAGE I’M SURE ALSO.
WE DIDN’T BRING THAT UP. YOU BROUGHT THAT UP.
>> Peyton: WE’VE BEEN ON THE SHOW ENOUGH TO KNOW THAT ELI IS
GOING TO TRY TO SHOW A, YOU KNOW, BAD CLIP OF ME RUNNING.
I KNOW HIS OWN TENDENCIES. I’M PREPARED.
I BROUGHT MY OWN CLIP. TAKE A LOOK HERE.
2013 AGAINST THE COWBOYS. BAKER’S A BOOTLEG.
MY QUESTION IS, ARE YOU IMPRESSED?
>> Baker: YES. I’M IMPRESSED BY THE FINISH, THE
KNEES WERE UP THERE. NOT IMPRESSED WITH YOUR BOY D
MARCUS THOUGH. HE SHOULD HAVE KNOWN YOU WERE
GOING TO PULL THAT OFF. >> Peyton: THANK YOU.
THANK YOU. EVERY DAY WE BECAME TEAMMATES.
GO AHEAD, E. >> Eli: I DIDN’T REALIZE WE WERE
SHOWING HIGHLIGHTS, REELS NETANYAHU, YOUREELS, YOU
KNOW, ACTUALLY, WITH WE SHOW MY CLIP?
CHECK OUT THE SPIN MOVE RIGHT HERE.
OH YEAH. OH YEAH.
CHRIS BERMAN SAID IT WAS BARRY SANDERS-ESQUE.
DO YOU THINK YOU HAVE THAT IN YOUR ARSENAL?
>> Baker: I DON’T KNOW IF I HAVE ONE THAT BIG.
THAT WAS GOOD. >> Eli: YEAH.
>> Baker: HE WAS GETTING BLOCKS AND YOU WERE SPINNING OFF OF,
BUT IT LOOKED GOOD. >> Peyton: IT’S LIKE WHEN YOU
PLAY — IT’S LIKE WHEN YOU PLAY “MADDEN,” BAKER, AND YOU
HIT THE SPIN BUTTON AND NOBODY’S AROUND YOU.
>> Eli: LOOK AT HICM. DID HE MAKE THE TACKLE?
>> Peyton: NICE HD RIGHT THERE. >> Baker: LOOKS GOOD.
WHAT YEAR IS THIS? >> Eli: IT’S, LIKE, ’05.
>> Baker: OKAY. >> Eli: ’05, 20 YEARS AGO.
NO BIGGIE. DON’T WORRY ABOUT IT.
>> Peyton: THIRD AND 17 HERE. JUST TRY TO GET HALFBACK AND GET
A BETTER FIELD GOAL. YOU THINK, BAKER HERE?
>> Baker: I THINK SO. I MEAN, A FEW PRESSURES ON THE
LAST COUPLE OF PLAYS. I THINK YOU TRY TO GET A
COMPLETION, GET A FIELD GOAL AND MOVE ON.
GET SOME POINTS. >> Peyton: LOVE IT.
JUST LIKE HE PREDICTED. OH, NO.
NO, NO, NO. >> Eli: BUDDA’S GOT IT.
OH, MAN. >> Baker: LIKE I SAID, THEY
SHOULD HAVE GONE FOR THE FIRST DOWN, GOT THE STICKS.
>> Peyton: YEAH. G
FORGET THESE SHORT PASSES. IT’S EXACTLY WHAT YOU SAID.
EXACTLY WHAT HE SHOULD HAVE DONE. TWO HANDS WITH BAKER, ELI.
YOU GO IT TO PROTECT IT LIKE BAKER DID AGAINST THE NINERS. >>> MAY FEEL LOOKING FOR EGBEGB.
WHAT A CATCH. HE CALLS IT IN.
>> YOU GET ONE OF MY PASSES LIKE THAT AGAIN.
WE’RE GOING TO HAVE A PROBLEM, RIGHT?
TWO HANDS. TWO HANDS.
YOU DISRESPECTED MY FOOTBALL. I TOLD HIM TWO HANDS.
>> Peyton: BAKER, THAT’S YOU TELLING YOUR GREAT ROOKIE WIDE
RECEIVER, EMEKA EGBUKA HE DISRESPECTED YOUR PASS BY
CATCHING IT WITH ONE HAPPENED. I LIKE THIS.
TELL US WHAT MAKES A ONE-HANDED CATCH SO DISRESPECTFUL.
>> Baker: WHEN YOU KNOW THEY CAN GET THE OTHER ONE UP THERE AND
MAKE IT LOOK LIKE TRULY A PERFECT PASS, AND THEY JUST —
THEY GO SHOWBOATING WITH THEIR STICKY GLOVES AND WHATNOT.
SO YEAH. GOT TO PUT THE ROOKIE IN HIS
PLACE EVERY ONCE IN A WHILE. >> Eli: I COULDN’T AGREE WITH
YOU MORE, BAKER. ODELL DID THE SAME THING TO ME.
DISRESPECTING MY ONE-HANDED CATCH VERSUS DALLAS YEARS AGO.
>> Peyton: YEAH. THAT WAS IT.
>> Eli: IT WOULD HAVE BEEN AN EASY TWO-HANDED CATCH.
>> Baker: THAT GUY WASN’T EVEN CLOSE TO HIM.
>> Eli: YEAH. >> Peyton: BAKER, THERE WE GO.
THERE YOU GO, McBRIDE. DO YOUR THING.
>> Baker: THERE YOU GO. >> Peyton: DESPITE GROWING UP
OUTSIDE AUSTIN, TEXAS, YOU WERE AN OKLAHOMA SOONERS FAN.
YOU WERE NOT A FAN OF THE COWBOYS OR TEXANS.
TWO-PART QUESTION HERE. WHAT’S THE STORY, AND HOW HARD
WAS THAT FOR YOU GROWING UP? >> Baker: EXTREMELY HARD.
>> Peyton: YEAH. >> Baker: TO BE HONEST WITH YOU,
ALL THE TEXAS FANS WERE ALL COWBOYS FANS SO THAT MADE ME —
LOOK AT THAT HAIRCUT. YEAH.
THAT LOOKS NICE. >> Eli: THAT LOOKS LIKE PEYTON.
>> Baker: THEY WERE ALL COWBOYS FAN SO I FOUND A LINE AND I
DIDN’T LIKE THEM EITHER. I WAS A BRETT FAVRE FAN FROM A
YOUNG AGE. LOVED THE WAY HE PLAYED.
I HAD NO CLUE I WAS KNOCK END UP PLA
— GOING TO END UP PLAYING QUARTERBACK.
I LOVED WATCHING HIM. >> Eli: BAKER, THE COWBOYS HAVE
NOT WON A SUPER BOWL SINCE BEFORE JERRY’S WORLD OPENED, BUT
YOU’VE WON BOTH A STATE CHAMPIONSHIP AND A BIG 12 TITLE
AT AT&T STADIUM. SO BAKER, SHOULD THE COWBOYS BE
ASKING YOU FOR ADVICE ON HOW TO WIN A CHAMPIONSHIP DO YOU THINK?
>> Baker: HERE WE GO. NO, I DON’T THINK SO.
I THINK THEY — WHATEVER TRADE JERRY PROMISES HE’S GOING TO GET
INTO, WE’LL SEE WHAT IT IS. NO.
I’LL STAY FAR AWAY FROM THAT. >> Eli: ALL RIGHT, BAKE.
I FLOW YKNOW YOU WANT TO STAY A FROM THAT, BUT I’LL GIVE YOU AN
OPPORTUNITY TO MAKE SOME HEADLINES, ALL RIGHT?
AS THE FACE OF THE BUCCANEERS FRANCHISE, CAN YOU JUST SAY THAT
THE CREAMSICLE UNIFORMS ARE THE BEST AND Y’ALL SHOULD WEAR THAT
FOR EVERY SINGLE GAME GOING FORWARD?
>> Baker: I LIKE THEM. I TELL YOU WHAT.
I’M GOING TO GET SOME ARGUMENTS THOUGH WITH THE BIG BOYS.
THEY SAID THEY LOOKED LIKE GIANT MARSHMALLOWS.
SO THEY WON’T LOVE THAT. >> Eli: THE BIG GUYS DON’T LOOK
GOOD IN THE WHITE. IN THE WHITE UNIFORM.
THE BIG BOYS DON’T LIKE THE WHITE — ALL-WHITE UNIFORMS.
THE LINEMEN. >> Baker: NO, A GOOD THROWBACK
THOUGH. HERE’S THE THING.
IT’S A THROWBACK TO WHEN THE BUCS WEREN’T VERY GOOD.
SO THEY MIGHT LOOK COOL, BUT I HOPE PEOPLE DON’T REMEMBER THAT.
>> Peyton: YEAH. GOING BACK TO THE WRONG ERA.
THIRD AND 16. HOLDING.
>> Eli: HOLDING. GOING THE WRONG WAY HERE.
>> Peyton: A LOT OF PENALTIES HERE.
>> Eli: I WOULD JUST GO AHEAD AND PUNT IT NOW.
PUNT IT ON THIRD AND 25. HAVE YOU EVER PUNTED IT BIG?
HAVE YOU EVER DONE, LIKE, A QUICK PUNT OR, YOU KNOW, BEEN IN
SHOTGUN, GONE BACK? PUNTED ONE?
>> Baker: IT’S BEEN A LONG TIME. I THINK SINCE HIGH SCHOOL.
I WASN’T VERY GOOD AT IT. WE DO A PUNT PASS KICK EVERY
FRIDAY THOUGH. RIGHT AFTER WARMUPS.
THE QUARTERBACK GROUP. >> Peyton: WHO’S THAT?
QUARTERBACKS? >> Baker: YEP.
I HAVE NOT WON YET. SO —
>> Eli: IS THAT, LIKE, A POOCH PUNT OR A TOTAL DISTANCE?
>> Baker: WE GO CORNER TO CORNER.
FROM ONE PYLON TO THE OPPOSITE ONE.
DO THE PUNT AND THEN YOU THROW IT AND YOU GOT TO KICK IT.
YOU CROSS THE GOAL LINE, YOU’RE OUT.
OUT OF BOUNDS, AS LONG AS YOU STILL HAVE THE KICK, YOU CAN GET
IT BACK IN PLAY, BUT IT GETS PRETTY HEATED ON FRIDAYS.
RIGHT BEFORE I’M SUPPOSED TO GO EXECUTE.
SOMETIMES I GO IN ANGRY AND IT HELPS.
>> Peyton: BLOCKED IT. >> Eli: BLOCKED PUNT.
>> Peyton: THEY BLOCKED IT. LOOK AT THE HUSTLE.
WOW. THAT’LL CHANGE THINGS.
>> Eli: YEAH, WOW. >> Baker: THERE’S MORE BLOCKED
PUNTS AND KICKS THIS YEAR THAN I’VE SEEN IN A LONG TIME.
>> Peyton: JUST CAME RIGHT UP THE GUT.
HUGE PLAY. >> Eli: SEE WHAT HAPPENED HERE.
BAKE, I THINK THAT GUY WAS WATCHING TECHNIQUE OF YOU —
>> Peyton: HE WAS. HE WAS WATCHING BAKER.
>> Eli: HE WAS WATCHING BAKER. HE USED IT.
THAT WAS YOUR SWIM MOVE RIGHT THERE.
OH, RIGHT IN THE FACE. DIDN’T EVEN BLOCK IT.
>> Peyton: THE JUGULAR. >> Baker: THAT’S GOT TO HURT.
>> Eli: THAT’S GOT TO HURT. THAT’S WHY YOU DIDN’T WANT TO
RUSH TOO HARD ON THAT PUNT RUSH THAT YOU HAD.
YOU DIDN’T WANT TO GET KICKED IN THE FACE.
>> Baker: NO. LIKE A STRIKE RIGHT UP THE CHIN.
THAT’S GOOD. >> Peyton: A LITTLE MOMENTUM
THERE FOR THE COWBOYS. >> Eli: ALL RIGHT.
STAY WITH US, BAKE. ALL RIGHT.
THERE WAS A SWING MOVE. HERE’S THE MOVE.
HERE’S THE MOTIVATION. >> Baker: GTHAT’S LAZY RIGHT
THERE. GOT TO FINISH.
>> Eli: SAME MOVE. NO SWIM MOVE.
JUST WENT FORWARD. JUST LIKE THAT.
>> Baker: DETERMINATION AND GRIT.
SNAP LOOKS GOOD THOUGH. ? SALES
AGENT. >> Peyton: WELCOME BACK.
BAKER MAYFIELD STILL WITH US. B
BAKER, Y’ALL PLAY THE PATRIOTS ON SUNDAY IN TAMPA.
YOU’RE 6-2. THEY’RE 7-2.
SHOULD BE A GREAT ONE. TWO-PART QUESTION.
WHAT ARE YOU EXPECTING IN THAT ONE, AND DO YOU NEED ANY TIPS ON
BEATING THE PATRIOTS? BECAUSE I MIGHT KNOW A GUY.
>> Baker: I’LL TAKE ALL I CAN GET.
ESPECIALLY SINCE VRABEL’S THERE. YOU GOT SOME INSIDER INFO
PROBABLY. NO, IT SHOULD BE A GOOD MATCHUP.
ANY TIME YOU PLAY A TEAM LED BY VRABEL, YOU KNOW THEY’RE GOING
TO BE SCHEMED UP, COACHED WELL. THEY’RE GOING TO PLAY HARD.
I JUST — I’M HAPPY FOR DRAKE JUST SEEING HIS PROGRESSION, HOW
WELL HE’S PLAYING TOO, AND JUST OBVIOUSLY THEIR PASS GAME HAS
BEEN EXPLOSIVE. SO THEY START FAST.
WE GOT TO START FAST AS WELL AND MATCH THAT ENERGY.
>> Peyton: YEAH. >> Eli: BAKER, LET’S TALK ABOUT
ANOTHER QUARTERBACK. JACOBY BRISSETT HERE.
HE’S BEEN ON SIX TEAMS IN SIX SEASONS, YOU KNOW, YOU HAD TO
MOVE AROUND A LOT BEFORE YOU GOT SETTLED THERE IN TAMPA.
I MEAN, WHAT’S THE KEY TO JUST THE, YOU KNOW, BEING, YOU KNOW,
GT GETTING BETTER AND BEING A GOOD
QUARTERBACK WHEN YOU’RE CONSISTENTLY CHANGING OFFENSIVE
SYSTEMS? >> Baker: YOU KNOW, IF YOU ARE
NOT PLAYING IT’S REAL TOUGH, I’LL BE HONEST.
JUST, YOU HAVE TO MENTALLY PREPARE YOURSELF, PUT YOURSELF
IN THOSE SITUATIONS, AND REALLY YOUR GAME REPS ARE YOUR PRACTICE
REPS, AND SO YOU GOT TO DO THAT, O
OVERCOMMUNICATE, AND JUST LISTENING TO HOW EVERYBODY’S
TALKING. WHOEVER’S GOING TO BE IN THERE,
HOW THEY EXPECT CERTAIN CALLS, EVEN THE CADENCE WHEN IT GETS
DOWN TO THE DETAILS OF THAT. HOW SIMILAR CAN I MAKE IT TO
WHAT THEY’RE USED TO, AND THEN, YOU KNOW, WHEN I WANT TO PUT MY
OWN LITTLE FLAIR ON IT, YOU CAN DO THAT, BUT JUST PREPARING, AND
THEN IT’S JUST MEM VORIZATION WN IT COMES TO THE SYSTEMS.
YOU’RE NEVER GOING TO HAVE TO REINVENT THE WHEEL WHEN I COMES
TO THE PLAYBOOKS. IT MIGHT BE NAMED SOMETHING
DIFFERENT FORMATION, OR SCHEME OR WHATEVER IT IS, AND AFTER
THAT, JUST GO FROM THERE. >> Eli: THAT WAS THE HARDEST
PART. GO AHEAD, PEYT.
>> Peyton: I WAS JUST SAYING, YOU GET THE BALL THE BEGINNING
OF THE SECOND HALF HERE. KIND OF YOUR MENTALITY FROM A
CLOCK MANAGER’S STANDPOINT. I MEAN, THEY WOULD LOVE TO RUN
THIS THING ALL THE WAY DOWN TO THE END OF THE HALF AND STEAL
TWO POSSESSIONS HERE, RIGHT? GET A 14-POINT SWING.
>> Baker: ABSOLUTELY. I MEAN, WITH THIS — WITH THE
EXPLOSIVE PASS PLAY RIGHT HERE TO MARV, GIVES YOU GREAT
OPPORTUNITY TO BE ABLE TO RUN THE BALL ON THE NEXT ONE.
AT LEAST GET IT DOWN TO THE TWO-MINUTE.
MAKE THE COWBOYS START TAKING SOME TIME-OUTS, BUT YEAH.
YOU’RE THINKING NOW YOU’RE RIGHT HERE.
YOU GOT POINTS, NO NEGATIVE PLAYS.
KEEP THE CLOCK ROLLING AS MUCH AS YOU CAN.
>> Peyton: I LIKE THE FACT THEY’RE STILL HUDDLING UNDER
CENTER. YEAH.
STILL HUDDLING. NO NEED TO DO TWO-MINUTE OFFENSE
QUITE YET HERE. JUST KEEP RUNNING YOUR —
>> Eli: THAT’S, LIKE, THE FIFTH COMEBACK THEY’VE RUN ON THE
OUTSIDE. RIGHT?
JUST KEEP RUNNING THESE COMEBACKS AND THERE’S GOT TO BE
A DOUBLE MOVE COMING AT SOME POINT.
I HAVE A FEELING. THEY JUST KEEP GETTING THIS MAN
COVERAGE. >> Peyton: ALL RIGHT.
WRITE THAT DOWN. WRITE THAT DOWN, BAKER.
ELI GUARANTEES A DOUBLE MOVE COMING.
>> Eli: THAT WILL MOVE. >> Baker: YOU CAN GET ON THE
PANEL. >> Eli: THERE YOU GO PITCH NEED
TO GET ON THE PANEL. I NEED A PICTURE OF MYSELF.
I GOT IT. HOLD ON.
I MEAN, THEY SAID JERRY JONES WATCHING THE SHOW.
>> Peyton: HE MIGHT TEAMS. USAA >> ALL RIGHT, WE’RE BACK WITH >> Peyton: WE’RE BACK.
SOCIAL MEDIA WATCHING THE G.O.A.T. ON MONDAY NIGHT
FOOTBALL. ELI, IS THAT A TATTOO OF YOU?
>> Eli: YEAH. YEAH, I POSED FOR IT.
I HAD TO SIT THERE FOR, LIKE, FOUR OR FIVE HOURS WHILE HE
TATTOOED IT ON HIS LEG. >> Peyton: BAKER, I DON’T KNOW
IF I HAVE — DO YOU HAVE ANY TATTOO — ANY BAKER TATTOOS OUT
THERE OR — I DON’T KNOW IF I HAVE ANY.
>> Baker: YEAH. THERE WAS A GUY THAT GOT ONE ON
HIS CALF AND IT WAS PRETTY WILD. >> Eli: HEY.
THEY COULDN’T FIT YOUR HEAD ON ANYONE’S BACK.
>> Peyton: OKAY. NOT NECESSARY.
CAN WE FOCUS ON THE GAME HERE? SECOND AND 3.
JEEZ. DOUBLE-TEAM.
OKLAHOMA/TENNESSEE, GETTING BIG HEADS.
ALL RIGHT. DALLAS GOING TO CALL TIME-OUT,
RIGHT? NO?
>> Baker: HE HAD TO HAVE, RIGHT? >> Peyton: YEAH.
>> Eli: THEY DO IT? YEAH.
THEY JUST CALLED TIME-OUT. THEY’RE GOING TO GET THAT —
JUST DON’T LET THEM — YOU’RE RUNNING INSIDE ZONE.
JUST DON’T GET BEAT ON THE INSIDE.
THAT’S ALL YOU GOT TO DO. I THINK I COULD HAVE DONE THAT.
I COULD HAVE BLOCKED THAT. >> Baker: IT’S THE SECOND AND 10
WHERE I HAVE THE ISSUE, OR THE SECOND AND LONG WHERE THEY KNOW
YOU’RE GOING TO RUN THE BALL. THE CLOBOX IS LOADED AND YOU MI
AS WELL JUST THROW A SCREEN OUT THERE AND TRY TO GET SOMETHING
GOING. KEEP THE CLOCK ROLLING.
>> Peyton: CORRECT. >> Baker: GET THAT INTO THE
HANDS. >> Peyton: YEAH, YEAH, YEAH.
I LIKE HAVING THE FLEXIBILITY TO, YOU KNOW, CHANGE IT UP AND
NOT, YOU KNOW, NOT JUST TAKE A LOSS.
ALL RIGHT. >> Eli: IS THIS FOUR DOWN
TERRITORY? GOING TO THAT’S A GOOD QUESTION.
>> Peyton: I’LL ASK BAKER. >> Baker: IF YOU — KNOWING
THESE FWGUYS WITH THE BALL COMI OUT AFTER THE HALF, THEY’LL
PROBABLY TAKE THE POINT. >> Peyton: GET THE FIRST HERE.
OH, THEY BRING THE LINEMAN IN MOTION.
THE SIX LINEMEN CAME IN MOTION. >> Baker: THERE YOU GO.
>> Peyton: YOU’RE TALKING ABOUT THESE TEAMS PLAYING SIX LINEMEN.
WATCH THE GUY COMING IN MOTION. YOU DON’T THINK HE’S REALLY
GOING TO RUN A ROUTE, DO YOU? THE LINE RUNNER ON THE CORNER
ROUTE. NOT REALLY MUCH OF A THREAT, BUT
I LIKE IT. >> Eli: THEY’RE TRYING TO GET
McBRIDE, KIND OF FADE BLOCK, AND GOING THIRD AND 3.
I THINK THAT’S A LITTLE TOO FAR FOR THAT.
THIRD AND 1 MIGHT SAY, HEY. DEFINITE RUN HERE.
THIRD AND 3, I THINK YOU’RE FEELING A LITTLE MORE PASS
THERE, BUT GOOD JOB BY JACOBY ON THE PROGRESSION.
>> Peyton: TO ME — BAKER, IT’S HARD TO THINK ABOUT YOU’RE
TRYING TO GET THE FIRST DOWN, BUT DO YOU THINK THERE YOU TELL
THEM, HEY? IF WE GET TO THIS FIRST, JUST
STAY INBOUNDS? I MEAN, GOING OUT OF BOUNDS
RIGHT THERE, THERE AND AGAIN RIGHT HERE, I THINK THAT KIND OF
HELPS DALLAS, RIGHT? YOU WOULD LIKE TO STAY INBOUNDS
AND RUN SOME CLOCK. >> Baker: IT DEFINITELY HELPS
DALLAS. YOU WANT TO STAY INBOUNDS AND
RUN THE CLOCK, AND PROBABLY THE YOUNG GUYS MIGHT NOT BE THINKING
ABOUT IT, ESPECIALLY BEFORE HALF.
I THINK END OF GAME, GUYS ARE MORE IN TUNE TO IT.
RIGHT BEFORE HALF, YOU KNOW, YOU DON’T SEE IT VERY OFTEN.
>> Peyton: YEAH. >> Eli: ALL RIGHT, BAKE.
YOU CAN TRY TO GET ON THE BOARD TWICE.
IT’S HAPPENED A FEW TIMES. >> Baker: YES.
>> Eli: WHAT DO YOU THINK’S GOING TO HAPPEN HERE?
YOU’RE GOING BACK TO McBRIDE? >> Baker: I GOT — YEAH.
WE’RE STICKING WITH McBRIDE. NO CHANGE-UPS NOW.
>> Peyton: HE’S ONE-ON-ONE. HE’S ONE-ON-ONE DOWN HERE.
>> Baker: A LITTLE FIVE-STEP MOTION IN THE END ZONE.
>> Peyton: LOOK AT THIS. OH.
>> Baker: OH, MAN. I HAD IT CALLED.
>> Peyton: THAT WAS THE CALL. >> Eli: HE LIKES TALKING TO HIS
REFS. >> Peyton: ELI, THAT WAS THE
FIRST ONE — HE CALLED THE ROUTE.
WE DON’T GET THE ROUTE VERY MUCH.
>> Eli: NOT A WHOLE LOT OF SEPARATION THERE.
JA JACOBY, HE DIDN’T FEEL LIKE HE
WAS THAT OPEN. THAT’S PROBABLY WHY HE WENT
HIGH. >> Peyton: LOOK.
THE FACT THAT THEY’RE THROWING TO A TIGHT END BEING COVERED BY
A CORNER TELLS YOU THE CONFIDENCE THEY HAVE IN HIM.
IT TELLS YOU HOW GOOD THIS GUY IS, RIGHT, BAKER?
>> Baker: OH, ABSOLUTELY. NOW I GOT TO CHANGE MY PICK.
DON’T SCORE. DON’T SCORE.
>> Eli: YOU CAN CHANGE AT ANY POINT.
YOU DON’T HAVE TO STICK TO IT. AS THEY MOVE DOWN — YEAH.
CHANGE AT ANY POINT. DALLAS CALLED TIME-OUT?
>> Peyton: I WOULD THINK THEY — >> Eli: YEAH, THEY DID.
>> Baker: HM. >> Eli: THIRD AND 1.
I MEAN, THIS IS ONE THAT ARIZONA, YOU KIND OF WANT TO RUN
IT AND GET THE FIRST DOWN AND MAKE DALLAS USE — DID THEY NOT
CALL A TIME-OUT ? THEY DIDN’T CALL A TIME-OUT.
>> Peyton: YEAH. GET THE FIRST.
>> Baker: THEY DID? >> Eli: NO.
JUST SHORT. I KIND OF DON’T MIND THAT FROM
ARIZONA. YOU WANT TO — YOU DON’T WANT TO
GIVE DALLAS TOO MUCH TIME. OBVIOUSLY YOU WANT TO SCORE YOUR
TOUCHDOWN. >> TRAINING DAY STARTS WITH A
CELSIUS. FIRST, THE WEIGHT ROOM.
SQUAT, PRESS, ARMS. THEN IT’S STRAIGHT TO
CONDITIONING. HERE’S HOW I SHOW UP ON
GAMEDAYS. OKAY.
THAT WAS CLEAN. THEN I STUDY MY PLAYBOOK.
GOT TO STAY SHARP ON BOTH SIDES OF THE BALL.
QUICK POSE FOR THE CAMERAS AND IT’S TO THE LAKE WHERE I KEEP MY
MENTAL GAME STRONG. GOT TO KEEP MY ENERGY RIGHT,
GRAB A CELSIUS. >> Peyton: BAKER, DO RUN THE
BALL HERE AND MAKE COWBOYS USE THEIR LAST TIME-OUT, AND THEN
TRY TO SCORE AFTER THAT DO YOU THINK?
>> Baker: I THINK SO. I THINK THEY’RE GOING TO BUILD
UP THAT EXTRA LINEMAN THERE, RUN IT UP BEHIND HIM.
SIMPLE, SIMPLE PLAY PROBABLY. LIKE, DUO DOWN THERE.
>> Peyton: YEAH. >> Eli: YOU WANT TO SCORE.
YOU HAVE A QUARTERBACK SNEAK HERE.
HEY. QUARTERBACK SNEAK IS GET TO THE
ONE-INCH LINE. >> Peyton: YOU HAVE TO BE
CAREFUL WASTING A DOWN TRYING TO SCORE, BUT THAT JUST WORKED OUT
WELL FOR THEM RIGHT THERE BECAUSE THEY DIDN’T BLOCK THAT
GUY. GOT THE CRAP BEAT OUT OF HIM,
BUT THAT’S ACTUALLY A GOOD THING. I MEAN, IN A PERFECT WORLD, YOU
WOULD DO IT AGAIN AND MAYBE YOU SCORE, YOU KNOW, ON THIRD DOWN,
BUT — OH, JEEZ. JEEZ.
>> Baker: THE NFL. >> Eli: THAT WAS, LIKE, THE MOST
MISERABLE SITUATION TO BE IN. JUST HAVING TO RUN STRAIGHT
FORWARD AND THREE GUYS ABOUT TO SANDWICH YOU.
PERFECT. I’LL JUST RUN RIGHT IN THERE.
>> Peyton: ALL RIGHT, BAKE. WHAT ARE YOU GOING WITH?
YOU STILL GOING — YOU GOING WITH McBRIDE STILL IN WHAT ARE
YOU GOING WITH? >> Baker: I GOT BAM KNIGHT ON
THE RUSHING TOUCHDOWN. >> Peyton: YOU’RE RUNNING HERE,
YOU KNOW, YOU PROBABLY GOT TO HAVE POTENTIALLY CALLED TWO
PLAYS IN THE HUDDLE. YOU GOT TO HAVE SOMETHING.
I MEAN, THEY’RE GOING TO STAY POWER.
POWER OFFENSE, BIG PERSONNEL. SNEAK.
HE’S IN THERE. >> Eli: THEY GET IT, JACOBY.
THERE YOU GO. THERE YOU GO.
I DON’T KNOW. IS THAT AN — ALMOST.
I DON’T KNOW — YOU ALREADY MADE — YOU DON’T COUNT.
YOU DON’T EVEN GET AN ALMOST FOR THAT.
>> Baker: I DON’T WANT YOUR PITY ANYWAY.
>> Peyton: HE’S ON THERE ONCE. NOBODY’S EVER MADE IT TWICE,
HAVE THEY? >> Eli: YEAH.
I THINK DOLF MADE IT TWICE LAST WEEK.
ONE ALMOST, ONE PERFECT. SO IT’S A NEW TREND.
THAT WAS TOO EASY. I THOUGHT THEY WERE — THEY WENT
OUT. >> Peyton: KIND OF AN OUT
CHARGE. SOMETIMES THOSE DEEP TACKLES TRY
TO GUESS WHAT RUN PLAY YOU’RE DOING.
NOT GOOD VERSUS THE QUARTERBACK SNEAK.
>> Baker: NOT GOOD WHEN YOU LEAVE THE GAPS.
>> Eli: YEAH. USUALLY WHEN THEY DO THAT,
SOMEONE’S BLITZING UP THE MIDDLE, LIKE, THE LINEBACKER
MIGHT BE COMING RIGHT UP THE MIDDLE.
>> Peyton: HEY, BAKER. WE’RE GOING TO LET YOU GO, MAN.
THANK YOU FOR JOINING US. KEEP HAVING A GREAT YEAR, MAN.
>> Baker: I APPRECIATE YOU. >> Eli: APPRECIATE YOU, MAN.
