1
00:00:00,080 --> 00:00:06,480
Speaker 1: A head, common man, common man, don't show pep do

2
00:00:06,720 --> 00:00:08,680
Speaker 1: solid plan, says the arn't.

3
00:00:08,840 --> 00:00:13,880
Speaker 2: We can't be a scar approach will fail. It's time

4
00:00:13,960 --> 00:00:20,160
Speaker 2: for common man, common man, common man, charge the housewives

5
00:00:20,200 --> 00:00:22,400
Speaker 2: like going, can what you shoot?

6
00:00:22,480 --> 00:00:23,239
Speaker 3: Where we play?

7
00:00:23,640 --> 00:00:24,680
Speaker 4: That's nonsense.

8
00:00:24,680 --> 00:00:25,960
Speaker 1: I'd get to day duty.

9
00:00:26,200 --> 00:00:28,320
Speaker 2: Man. It's time for common man.

10
00:00:30,520 --> 00:00:36,199
Speaker 1: Oh boy, why should anybody aspire to be a common man?

11
00:00:36,240 --> 00:00:38,040
Speaker 1: An average man? Do you realize what it means to

12
00:00:38,080 --> 00:00:41,440
Speaker 1: be average? That means you're the best of the lousiest

13
00:00:42,200 --> 00:00:43,880
Speaker 1: and the lousiest.

14
00:00:43,280 --> 00:00:43,960
Speaker 2: Of the best.

15
00:00:44,400 --> 00:00:46,920
Speaker 1: Now, if we demand more and more for producing less

16
00:00:46,920 --> 00:00:49,640
Speaker 1: and less while they have not nations and courage and

17
00:00:49,800 --> 00:00:54,440
Speaker 1: inspire and indeed require hard work and maximum effort. If

18
00:00:54,480 --> 00:00:57,920
Speaker 1: we deify the common man while they encourage and reward

19
00:00:57,960 --> 00:01:01,360
Speaker 1: the uncommon ones on the end result of such a

20
00:01:01,440 --> 00:01:05,760
Speaker 1: lopsided brace as that is too obvious to require elaborations like.

21
00:01:09,319 --> 00:01:11,920
Speaker 4: Second and five thunder from the Little Giants thirty four

22
00:01:12,080 --> 00:01:14,520
Speaker 4: Jimmy calling out the signals, takes the snap at the

23
00:01:14,560 --> 00:01:16,520
Speaker 4: toss right to deuce, and deuce is getting to the

24
00:01:16,520 --> 00:01:17,120
Speaker 4: second level.

25
00:01:17,160 --> 00:01:20,640
Speaker 2: Stiff arms, one defender, spins around another. Somebody drives to.

26
00:01:20,640 --> 00:01:22,919
Speaker 4: Grab his flag, but he can't because Deuce is wrapped

27
00:01:22,920 --> 00:01:23,800
Speaker 4: it around the scrap.

28
00:01:24,040 --> 00:01:25,600
Speaker 2: Defensive backs running.

29
00:01:25,280 --> 00:01:28,520
Speaker 3: Out of the way and Deuce he is gone.

30
00:01:29,600 --> 00:01:33,880
Speaker 4: Touchdowns thunder and Deuce hits his chest. Price Head points

31
00:01:33,880 --> 00:01:36,440
Speaker 4: to the sky and he scores his four touchdown of

32
00:01:36,480 --> 00:01:45,480
Speaker 4: the season. Jimmy drops back of Boyd's the Russ looking

33
00:01:45,480 --> 00:01:46,040
Speaker 4: over the middle.

34
00:01:46,160 --> 00:01:49,040
Speaker 2: It's Deuce and it's caught a diving patch. It didn't

35
00:01:49,080 --> 00:01:50,640
Speaker 2: look like he needed to dive for it.

36
00:01:50,680 --> 00:01:53,880
Speaker 4: But Deus intentionally slowed down in order to make the

37
00:01:53,960 --> 00:01:57,000
Speaker 4: acrobatic p roic catch. I haven't seen that move since

38
00:01:57,000 --> 00:01:59,760
Speaker 4: a certain dand Corman textually slowed down in Little le

39
00:02:00,240 --> 00:02:04,280
Speaker 4: Rappicks baseball tryouts like fatherlike Sun, and them's a thunder.

40
00:02:04,360 --> 00:02:12,400
Speaker 4: First down, Little Giants ball third and eight deep in

41
00:02:12,440 --> 00:02:14,640
Speaker 4: their own territory, and the thunder showing wins.

42
00:02:14,720 --> 00:02:18,720
Speaker 2: Jimmy takes the snapsos Head. Deuz crapped his flag. It's

43
00:02:18,760 --> 00:02:21,440
Speaker 2: a sack. The Little Giants will have to punt first.

44
00:02:21,480 --> 00:02:24,200
Speaker 2: He's a sure handed, precise route running tight end.

45
00:02:24,480 --> 00:02:26,680
Speaker 4: Now he's a Peers pass rushing rock.

46
00:02:26,560 --> 00:02:30,360
Speaker 2: Up Gibraltar defensive end. Is there anything heat Deuce can't do?

47
00:02:30,600 --> 00:02:32,400
Speaker 2: And now he's going to return the punt that the

48
00:02:32,400 --> 00:02:35,079
Speaker 2: little giants will have to do. This can is amazing.

49
00:02:35,440 --> 00:02:37,400
Speaker 4: For the first time all day, the thunder forced the

50
00:02:37,480 --> 00:02:40,760
Speaker 4: punt fourteen fifteen and Deuce takes the long snapping on

51
00:02:40,840 --> 00:02:41,679
Speaker 4: the duke snapped it.

52
00:02:41,840 --> 00:02:43,000
Speaker 2: He snapped it to the up man.

53
00:02:43,120 --> 00:02:45,040
Speaker 4: It's Robbie, and Robbie looks surprised.

54
00:02:45,080 --> 00:02:47,680
Speaker 2: He hasn't seen the football all day. And Robbie's flag

55
00:02:47,760 --> 00:02:51,200
Speaker 2: is snatched one pussy. Thinking now there's a man.

56
00:02:51,360 --> 00:02:54,040
Speaker 4: There's a man with a backwards beret running out on

57
00:02:54,080 --> 00:02:57,040
Speaker 4: the field while talking on the phone. He's yelling at

58
00:02:57,080 --> 00:03:00,679
Speaker 4: Deuce and I can't and yes, Deuce, did you snail back?

59
00:03:01,000 --> 00:03:04,280
Speaker 4: You're insane because he tried to snap into the up man.

60
00:03:04,440 --> 00:03:07,000
Speaker 4: The thunder give up the ball deepen their own territory.

61
00:03:07,240 --> 00:03:08,639
Speaker 4: Not sure what this was.

62
00:03:08,720 --> 00:03:15,720
Speaker 3: Thinking there, well, don young man, he's the clown from Brown,

63
00:03:16,240 --> 00:03:18,760
Speaker 3: He's the forest in the north.

64
00:03:19,440 --> 00:03:21,560
Speaker 2: This is the common man.

65
00:03:21,840 --> 00:03:23,120
Speaker 4: Dan Cole.

00:04:10,080 --> 00:04:14,080
Speaker 2: and suddenly they'll have to find my skeletal remains in

82
00:04:14,160 --> 00:04:17,479
Speaker 2: the rubble that is Shields, and probably my cold dead,

00:04:18,200 --> 00:04:23,320

Speaker 5: About Bumper to Bumper with Big Ticket and JG.

94
00:05:06,040 --> 00:05:09,560
Speaker 2: You know, they did a radio survey many years ago

95
00:05:09,600 --> 00:05:10,760
Speaker 2: where they would ask people.

96
00:05:10,760 --> 00:05:12,080
Speaker 5: They would find out maybe.

97
00:05:11,920 --> 00:05:13,880

Speaker 2: a radio station survey? And you go, yeah, why not?

100
00:05:19,240 --> 00:05:21,800
Speaker 2: So they ask you, what's your P one Now that's

101
00:05:21,839 --> 00:05:25,479
Speaker 2: inside radio lingo for preference number one, your favorite station?

102
00:05:26,000 --> 00:05:28,159
Speaker 2: And if you would say KFA N, they would ask

103
00:05:28,200 --> 00:05:30,120
Speaker 2: you a series of questions about KFAN. And the only

104
00:05:30,200 --> 00:05:33,000
Speaker 2: question I cared about was when they would say, how

105
00:05:33,000 --> 00:05:35,560
Speaker 2: do you feel about the following programs? And then they

106
00:05:35,600 --> 00:05:38,120
Speaker 2: would ask you you would have a multiple choice. You

107
00:05:38,160 --> 00:05:47,599
Speaker 2: would have love, like, dislike or hate. So the results

108
00:05:47,680 --> 00:05:51,320
Speaker 2: came back one year, they would do it yearly. Right,

109
00:05:51,480 --> 00:05:54,320
Speaker 2: results came back and it was six percent of the

110
00:05:54,320 --> 00:05:56,520
Speaker 2: people hated the Power Trip Morning Show. How many are

111
00:05:56,520 --> 00:06:04,720
Speaker 2: in that six percent? Five percent hated the Paul Allen Project,

112
00:06:04,760 --> 00:06:11,839
Speaker 2: seven percent hated bumper to bumper. Get this, twenty seven

113
00:06:11,960 --> 00:06:16,200
Speaker 2: percent of those surveyed hated the common Man Program. That's

114
00:06:16,200 --> 00:06:18,280
Speaker 2: more than all three of the other shows combined. I

115
00:06:18,320 --> 00:06:22,600
Speaker 2: took notice. Oh yeah, I said, okay, you've sent a message,

116
00:06:22,680 --> 00:06:26,520
Speaker 2: just loud and clear. So I put my nose to

117
00:06:26,560 --> 00:06:30,880
Speaker 2: the grindstone, my rigamortous laden lips to the noyman BCM

118

135
00:07:13,560 --> 00:07:16,040
Speaker 2: But they're really cool and it's just a token of

136

Speaker 2: our appreciation for helping you out, for helping out. Toys

137
00:07:19,320 --> 00:07:21,880
Speaker 2: for Tots presented by the Minnesota Vikings, the United States

138
00:07:21,880 --> 00:07:24,120
Speaker 2: Marine Corps Shields and all of us here at the fan.

139
00:07:24,200 --> 00:07:27,920
Speaker 2: And it's interesting how things have changed for me over

140
00:07:27,960 --> 00:07:30,600
Speaker 2: the years. The very first Toys for Tots, I didn't

141
00:07:30,640 --> 00:07:36,880
Speaker 2: participate because you're either four kids and against stadiums, or

142
00:07:37,040 --> 00:07:41,160
Speaker 2: you're for you're against kids and four stadiums. If you remember,

143
00:07:41,200 --> 00:07:43,200
Speaker 2: before they built the stadium, that's what a Minneapoli City

144
00:07:43,200 --> 00:07:46,320
Speaker 2: council member said. If you are for the stadium, you

145
00:07:46,440 --> 00:07:49,200
Speaker 2: must be against kids, and if you are four kids,

146
00:07:49,200 --> 00:07:52,320
Speaker 2: you're against the stadium. So I wanted a stadium now.

147
00:07:52,360 --> 00:07:54,800
Speaker 2: I wanted them to build it in art in hills,

148
00:07:55,160 --> 00:07:57,120
Speaker 2: build it in art and hills, but they didn't. But

149
00:07:57,160 --> 00:07:57,960
Speaker 2: I was four stams.

150
00:07:57,960 --> 00:08:01,080
Speaker 5: I was completely against kids, even the two I had.

151
00:08:01,120 --> 00:08:02,520
Speaker 2: As a matter of fact, did you know my wife

152
00:08:02,520 --> 00:08:06,280
Speaker 2: and I recently told our kids we don't want children,

153
00:08:06,360 --> 00:08:08,360
Speaker 2: but it was too late. We already had them, so

154
00:08:08,440 --> 00:08:10,600
Speaker 2: we've got two kids. So I was against kids in

155
00:08:10,680 --> 00:08:14,760
Speaker 2: four stadiums. Then I changed my mind. I was four

156
00:08:14,880 --> 00:08:18,120
Speaker 2: kids and against stadiums. Then I changed my mind again.

157
00:08:18,480 --> 00:08:19,560
Speaker 5: I was four.

158
00:08:19,400 --> 00:08:23,240
Speaker 2: Kids and four stadiums, and now I'm against both. I

159
00:08:23,280 --> 00:08:25,120
Speaker 2: think they should take all kids, round them up and

160
00:08:25,120 --> 00:08:27,000
Speaker 2: put them inside the stadium and just leave them there.

161
00:08:27,520 --> 00:08:29,240
Speaker 2: That goes for you kids right there too. No, I'm

162
00:08:29,240 --> 00:08:31,320
Speaker 2: just kidding, and we love you. Thanks for coming by.

165
00:08:35,800 --> 00:08:37,200

00:08:37,240 --> 00:08:39,440

167
00:08:39,440 --> 00:08:42,280
Speaker 2: to change. We've been told it's cash and cash out.

168
00:08:42,320 --> 00:08:46,600
Speaker 2: Blake Cashman, even Prairie native probably links a couple of

169
00:08:46,600 --> 00:08:49,920
Speaker 2: blocks from here. Yeah, so he's expected and then Isaiah

00:08:53,000 --> 00:08:55,400
Speaker 2: I'm not sure, maybe ten of bs time frames, but

172
00:08:55,440 --> 00:08:58,160
Speaker 2: we're expecting them to come by here a little bit

173

178
00:09:09,600 --> 00:09:12,720
Speaker 2: well been yeah, the house, or maybe it's uh, maybe

179
00:09:12,760 --> 00:09:15,280
Speaker 2: it's the Insane Asylum, honking the horn saying we're ready

180
00:09:15,320 --> 00:09:15,520
Speaker 2: for you.

181
00:09:17,800 --> 00:09:18,319
Speaker 7: Okay.

182
00:09:18,720 --> 00:09:22,000
Speaker 2: Uh. You know what the difficult part is in the past,

183
00:09:22,040 --> 00:09:24,600
Speaker 2: when we've had Viking players, the season's been going well.

184
00:09:24,720 --> 00:09:27,760
Speaker 5: Sure like last year, had we lost.

185
00:09:27,480 --> 00:09:29,480
Speaker 2: A game by the time Toys for Tots came around,

186
00:09:29,520 --> 00:09:31,800
Speaker 2: maybe one or two. I mean, we were on a roll.

187
00:09:31,920 --> 00:09:34,520
Speaker 2: Now it's like, hey, so how was it going. You're

188
00:09:34,520 --> 00:09:38,080
Speaker 2: four and eight, one in five over your last six games,

189
00:09:38,480 --> 00:09:41,760
Speaker 2: and I just it's awkward. It is awkward, and I'm

190
00:09:41,800 --> 00:09:43,040
Speaker 2: not gonna do, you know, because you know, I know

191
00:09:43,040 --> 00:09:44,880
Speaker 2: what the answers are going to be. Ah, we all

192
00:09:44,920 --> 00:09:46,800
Speaker 2: still love each other. We're giving it everything we got.

193
00:09:46,840 --> 00:09:48,360
Speaker 2: And I'm not saying they don't love each other, not

194
00:09:48,400 --> 00:09:50,800
Speaker 2: giving everything, but it's got to be a little difficult.

195
00:09:50,800 --> 00:09:54,280
Speaker 2: On the drive to the stadium the Sunday playing the Commanders,

196
00:09:54,400 --> 00:09:57,040
Speaker 2: we just can't get anything going and you're just looking

197
00:09:57,040 --> 00:09:59,400
Speaker 2: at the calendar saying, I really want the season to end.

198
00:09:59,760 --> 00:10:02,280
Speaker 2: I I believe that's human nature, is it not? Or

199
00:10:02,320 --> 00:10:04,560
Speaker 2: do we not believe that? Do we think that these

200
00:10:04,600 --> 00:10:07,480
Speaker 2: guys want to give it everything they got every game

201
00:10:07,520 --> 00:10:09,000
Speaker 2: and can't wait to suit it up on something.

202
00:10:09,120 --> 00:10:11,040
Speaker 6: When you shoot a forty eight on the front nine,

203
00:10:11,200 --> 00:10:12,959
Speaker 6: I don't want to You're not excited about the back

204
00:10:13,160 --> 00:10:15,520
Speaker 6: That's exactly yeah, and so I think that you might

205
00:10:15,559 --> 00:10:17,840
Speaker 6: not be have the complete focus you need. Yeah, that's

206
00:10:17,840 --> 00:10:18,679
Speaker 6: necessary for that back.

207
00:10:18,679 --> 00:10:20,839
Speaker 2: Then, So if you're expecting me to try to dig

208
00:10:20,920 --> 00:10:23,439
Speaker 2: deep into their psyche and their soul and find out

209
00:10:23,440 --> 00:10:25,560
Speaker 2: what they're relief, ain't going to get that here. I'm

210
00:10:25,600 --> 00:10:28,880
Speaker 2: just probably gonna ask cashman, what do you know? What? What?

211
00:10:29,160 --> 00:10:31,120
Speaker 2: What kind of toys did he like when he was

212
00:10:31,160 --> 00:10:33,160
Speaker 2: a kid for Christmas or something like that, And if

213
00:10:33,200 --> 00:10:35,079
Speaker 2: anybody can think of any good questions that are non

214
00:10:35,080 --> 00:10:36,880
Speaker 2: football related, just write him on a piece of paper

215
00:10:36,880 --> 00:10:38,840
Speaker 2: and hand them up to me, because I just I'm

216
00:10:38,840 --> 00:10:42,319
Speaker 2: not going to do that. Well, season's been really tough, you.

217
00:10:42,280 --> 00:10:44,520
Speaker 5: Know, I mean, I'll we'll do it.

218
00:10:44,600 --> 00:10:47,360
Speaker 2: This is the obligatory question you have to do, right, Hey,

219
00:10:47,400 --> 00:10:49,000
Speaker 2: season has been going very well. How do you feel?

220
00:10:49,000 --> 00:10:50,160
Speaker 2: And then after that, we just want to move on

221
00:10:50,200 --> 00:10:52,000
Speaker 2: with the rest of our lives and talk a little

222
00:10:52,000 --> 00:10:53,960
Speaker 2: addis and a little adapt with the emphasis on the

223
00:10:54,000 --> 00:10:56,199
Speaker 2: last that's what we're kind of looking for here today

224
00:10:56,200 --> 00:11:02,160
Speaker 2: at Shields. What this show has a reputation and has

225
00:11:02,200 --> 00:11:06,600
Speaker 2: for years of the listenership really digging down deep and

226
00:11:06,640 --> 00:11:10,839
Speaker 2: being generous during the Toys for Tot's campaign. So if

227
00:11:10,880 --> 00:11:12,839
Speaker 2: you are within the sound of my voice, that means

228
00:11:12,840 --> 00:11:14,559
Speaker 2: you could even be up at Fargo for crying out

229
00:11:14,559 --> 00:11:15,840
Speaker 2: now that by the time you get here, the store

230
00:11:15,880 --> 00:11:17,520
Speaker 2: might be closed, but you can just leave it out front.

231
00:11:18,160 --> 00:11:20,760
Speaker 2: But we would love you to drop by Shields today

232
00:11:20,880 --> 00:11:24,960
Speaker 2: and bring an unwrapped toy for girls and boys also

233
00:11:25,160 --> 00:11:26,720
Speaker 2: has been we mentioned this every year.

234
00:11:27,160 --> 00:11:30,360
Speaker 5: There are teenagers that could use something as well.

235
00:11:30,400 --> 00:11:32,080
Speaker 2: So if you find something else like a watch or

236
00:11:32,080 --> 00:11:35,440
Speaker 2: something or something that a teenager might alike a little

237
00:11:35,480 --> 00:11:40,880
Speaker 2: bit better than you know, a what's that little block

238
00:11:40,920 --> 00:11:42,360
Speaker 2: with all the colors out them and you try to

239
00:11:42,360 --> 00:11:45,400
Speaker 2: get all the color Rubik's Cube? Right? You know, I

240
00:11:45,440 --> 00:11:47,280
Speaker 2: just don't think that you know, you're gonna want a

241
00:11:47,320 --> 00:11:50,400
Speaker 2: Rubies cube? So or what are they called lego sets?

242
00:11:50,880 --> 00:11:52,520
Speaker 2: I don't think a teenager wants a Lego set. So

243
00:11:52,559 --> 00:11:56,080
Speaker 2: if you they might, well they might, yeah, but if

244
00:11:56,120 --> 00:11:58,000
Speaker 2: you if you if you can find anything for a

245
00:11:58,040 --> 00:12:00,560
Speaker 2: teenage boy, or girl that's cool too, or anything for

246
00:12:00,600 --> 00:12:02,840
Speaker 2: a toy. And by the way, you don't have to

247
00:12:02,880 --> 00:12:05,120
Speaker 2: go anywhere else because they've got plenty of things to

248
00:12:05,120 --> 00:12:07,760
Speaker 2: buy here right at Shields, so you can find something

249
00:12:07,800 --> 00:12:12,040
Speaker 2: for kids. Look at there's snowboards back there, snowboards man,

250
00:12:12,160 --> 00:12:16,240
Speaker 2: and there's everything here. So if you find something, bring

251
00:12:16,240 --> 00:12:18,080
Speaker 2: it up, put it in the Toys for Tot's bin,

252
00:12:18,280 --> 00:12:20,560
Speaker 2: and we'd appreciate that. Let's take our first break of

253
00:12:20,559 --> 00:12:23,520
Speaker 2: the program. By the way, as you can see, all

254
00:12:23,520 --> 00:12:27,520
Speaker 2: the seats are full and there are hundreds, hundreds, hundreds

255
00:12:27,520 --> 00:12:30,679
Speaker 2: of people. Are you eating your lunch? Oh? I was drinking? Okay,

256
00:12:31,240 --> 00:12:33,120
Speaker 2: because we don't eat lunch on the air on the show.

257
00:12:33,240 --> 00:12:35,320
Speaker 2: Somehow other shows do it. We don't do that here.

258
00:12:35,480 --> 00:12:38,319
Speaker 2: I've got my lunch with me today too. No microwave

259
00:12:38,320 --> 00:12:42,520
Speaker 2: oven though, So because so many people want to sit

260
00:12:42,559 --> 00:12:45,520
Speaker 2: and watch the show, we're limiting everybody to one segment.

261
00:12:46,080 --> 00:12:48,040
Speaker 2: So if you just orderly get up in the movie,

262
00:12:48,120 --> 00:12:50,520
Speaker 2: because you can just see the hundreds hundred of people

263
00:12:50,520 --> 00:12:54,000
Speaker 2: that want to sit down and watch the show. So sorry,

264
00:12:54,160 --> 00:12:56,360
Speaker 2: but we're limited to one per customers. Let's take a break.

265
00:12:56,360 --> 00:12:59,800
Speaker 2: We'll come back. We're broadcasting live from Shields and eating Prairie.

279
00:13:49,320 --> 00:13:51,480
Speaker 2: Back to Shields. It's our Toys for Toss Drive. It's

280
00:13:51,520 --> 00:13:54,760
Speaker 2: an annual thing. We've been all over town to town,

281
00:13:54,840 --> 00:13:56,679
Speaker 2: up and down the dial. We did our very first one.

282
00:13:56,679 --> 00:13:59,959
Speaker 2: I think it was at Gallions, so anybody remember Galleons.

283
00:14:00,880 --> 00:14:04,520
Speaker 2: Galleons is now Dix, but Galleons, and we did our

284
00:14:04,720 --> 00:14:07,080
Speaker 2: very first ever Toories for toat show from the Galleons

285
00:14:07,120 --> 00:14:10,040
Speaker 2: on four ninety four and thirty five, which did you

286
00:14:10,120 --> 00:14:12,480
Speaker 2: know is the busiest corridor in the state of Minnesota,

287
00:14:12,520 --> 00:14:14,360
Speaker 2: so it was a great spot to be. Then we

288
00:14:14,400 --> 00:14:19,840
Speaker 2: went from there to all of America and the huge rotunda,

289
00:14:20,160 --> 00:14:22,680
Speaker 2: and they loved us, and then they said, maybe we

290
00:14:22,720 --> 00:14:24,840
Speaker 2: don't like them quite as much as we thought we did.

291
00:14:24,880 --> 00:14:27,160
Speaker 2: So then they put us in was that the Sears rotunda.

292
00:14:27,800 --> 00:14:30,280
Speaker 2: Then they moved us from Sears to the other side

293
00:14:30,360 --> 00:14:32,280
Speaker 2: and put us in that one, and then finally they

294
00:14:32,320 --> 00:14:36,240
Speaker 2: just said, look, it's been a nice run, but it's

295
00:14:36,240 --> 00:14:38,680
Speaker 2: time to move on. So then we went over to

296
00:14:38,760 --> 00:14:42,560
Speaker 2: Fleet Farm. What did they say at Fleet Farm? Overs

297
00:14:42,600 --> 00:14:43,200

301
00:14:53,880 --> 00:14:57,000
Speaker 6: I think it was from coaching eight hockey games this weekend.

302
00:14:57,080 --> 00:15:01,600
Speaker 2: Probably I'm still moving away. You're fine, I feel great.

00:15:28,640 --> 00:15:31,760
Speaker 2: Did you know that he is stronger at seventy three

311
00:15:31,760 --> 00:15:34,560
Speaker 2: than he was at forty five, That's what he actually said,

312
00:15:35,640 --> 00:15:37,840
Speaker 2: Stronger at seventy three than he was at forty five.

313
00:15:38,000 --> 00:15:40,240
Speaker 2: He's lying to himself, you know, you get to that age. Look,

314
00:15:40,240 --> 00:15:41,800
Speaker 2: and I'm approaching that as well. I'm about to be

315
00:15:41,840 --> 00:15:46,760
Speaker 2: sixty seven late this month, and you start saying to yourself, well,

316
00:15:48,160 --> 00:15:51,240
Speaker 2: I'm a lot closer to the end of the end

317
00:15:51,240 --> 00:15:52,760
Speaker 2: than I am at the beginning of the end. And

318
00:15:52,760 --> 00:15:55,200
Speaker 2: then you start going, am I at the beginning of

319
00:15:55,280 --> 00:15:56,960
Speaker 2: the end of the end, or I'm at the middle

320
00:15:57,000 --> 00:15:58,440
Speaker 2: of the beginning of the end of the end, or

321
00:15:58,440 --> 00:15:59,800
Speaker 2: I'm at the end of the beginning of the end

322
00:15:59,800 --> 00:16:01,320
Speaker 2: of the And then you know how long those end

323
00:16:01,360 --> 00:16:03,880
Speaker 2: of the ends are. And so he's trying to convince

324
00:16:03,920 --> 00:16:06,880
Speaker 2: himself he's stronger and he's not. He's just not. No,

325
00:16:07,160 --> 00:16:09,520
Speaker 2: he's not. And that's okay, because I still think he's

326
00:16:09,520 --> 00:16:11,240
Speaker 2: going to live a long life. I think he's gonna

327
00:16:11,280 --> 00:16:13,400
Speaker 2: get he's seventy three. I think he'll get to seventy five,

328
00:16:13,440 --> 00:16:17,040
Speaker 2: seventy six. I think he could get to his mid nineties.

329
00:16:17,080 --> 00:16:19,520
Speaker 2: I think he's got that in his jeans. I think

330
00:16:20,000 --> 00:16:22,360
Speaker 2: my life goals to look like him when I'm that age. Well,

331
00:16:22,360 --> 00:16:23,840
Speaker 2: I think, yeah, well, then you got to start seeing

332
00:16:23,840 --> 00:16:25,960
Speaker 2: the fitness game. That's what you have to do. Start

333

Speaker 2: But the uniform you want most of all? What's Who's

360
00:18:19,400 --> 00:18:21,440
Speaker 2: the undrafted free agent? We drafted a couple of years

361
00:18:22,680 --> 00:18:29,000
Speaker 2: Max brosburg i'van paced the undrafted free agent had a

362
00:18:29,119 --> 00:18:33,840
Speaker 2: very good first year. And if you ever see him,

363
00:18:34,320 --> 00:18:36,040
Speaker 2: he seems not to be playing as much. He's on

364
00:18:36,080 --> 00:18:37,400
Speaker 2: the bench a lot more now he's on the bench

365
00:18:37,440 --> 00:18:38,600
Speaker 2: a lot more. Well, I mean there.

366
00:18:38,560 --> 00:18:41,720
Speaker 6: Wasn't a lot of bright spots against Seattle, but Eric Wilson,

367
00:18:42,119 --> 00:18:44,520
Speaker 6: who basically has put Ivan pace on the bench.

368
00:18:44,960 --> 00:18:46,840
Speaker 2: Yeah, it was kind of one of the few guys

369
00:18:46,840 --> 00:18:47,440
Speaker 2: that flashed.

370
00:18:47,600 --> 00:18:49,920
Speaker 6: He's had a good season, Dallas Turner and Dallas Turner

371
00:18:49,960 --> 00:18:51,000
Speaker 6: as well because he.

372
00:18:51,119 --> 00:18:53,720
Speaker 2: Was catching I don't know if he was catching so

373
00:18:53,800 --> 00:18:56,520
Speaker 2: much heat as the front office was for drafting. Remember

374
00:18:56,560 --> 00:18:59,480
Speaker 2: they they moved, didn't we trade a couple of picks

375
00:18:59,640 --> 00:19:02,480
Speaker 2: yet to fifteen? And then you know we always and

376
00:19:02,720 --> 00:19:04,840
Speaker 2: this happens in every town. I'm sure every city where

377
00:19:04,840 --> 00:19:07,679
Speaker 2: they have a draftic in the first round that doesn't

378
00:19:07,760 --> 00:19:10,560
Speaker 2: pan out to where you thought they were supposed to

379
00:19:10,600 --> 00:19:13,320
Speaker 2: first round draft picks, right They're supposed to be there.

380
00:19:13,359 --> 00:19:18,840
Speaker 2: There's supposed to be impact players right away. Well, let's

381
00:19:18,840 --> 00:19:21,199
Speaker 2: face a Dallas Turner hasn't been an impact player. So

382
00:19:21,240 --> 00:19:23,119
Speaker 2: then you always look at who was selected after him,

383
00:19:23,119 --> 00:19:26,160
Speaker 2: and the name that always comes up is Shared Verse

384
00:19:26,200 --> 00:19:28,880
Speaker 2: for the Rams, who's been just terrific And yeah, he's

385
00:19:28,920 --> 00:19:29,400
Speaker 2: really good.

386
00:19:29,480 --> 00:19:32,080
Speaker 5: So but it's nice to see Turner playing a little

387
00:19:32,080 --> 00:19:32,520
Speaker 5: bit better.

388
00:19:32,600 --> 00:19:35,640
Speaker 2: He he had a couple of did he have two

389
00:19:35,640 --> 00:19:39,240
Speaker 2: strip Sacks. I think he had two. He forced two fumbles.

390
00:19:39,320 --> 00:19:41,679
Speaker 2: One of them was recovered by the Purple. I think

391
00:19:41,680 --> 00:19:44,800
Speaker 2: it was the first turnover, and since uh nineteen twelve,

392
00:19:45,040 --> 00:19:46,760
Speaker 2: it was our very first turnover. It's been that long.

393
00:19:47,680 --> 00:19:50,400
Speaker 2: And then there was another one that I think they

394
00:19:50,440 --> 00:19:53,600
Speaker 2: got that Seattle recovered. There were still you know, so

395
00:19:53,640 --> 00:19:54,560
Speaker 2: the kids playing better.

396
00:19:54,640 --> 00:19:57,200
Speaker 5: So yeah, those are the good signs because.

397
00:19:57,000 --> 00:19:59,680
Speaker 2: And I've been having this debate with people, I think,

398
00:19:59,720 --> 00:20:03,320
Speaker 2: now when the season isn't going the way you wanted to,

399
00:20:04,240 --> 00:20:06,960
Speaker 2: and let's face, I have some stark numbers. Did I

400
00:20:07,000 --> 00:20:09,399
Speaker 2: bring these up yesterday or did I just find these today?

401
00:20:09,480 --> 00:20:12,439
Speaker 2: I think we talked about it yesterday. Where the Packers have,

402
00:20:12,680 --> 00:20:15,000
Speaker 2: like I hate even saying the word Packers, I know

403
00:20:15,000 --> 00:20:18,720
Speaker 2: it's sacrilegious, but they have eighteen players that the team

404
00:20:18,840 --> 00:20:21,600
Speaker 2: drafted and twelve of them are starting or something. And

405
00:20:21,640 --> 00:20:23,719
Speaker 2: the Lions are on the same boat, and so are

406
00:20:23,760 --> 00:20:26,000
Speaker 2: the Bears. And then you look at the Vikings and

407
00:20:26,000 --> 00:20:29,000
Speaker 2: it's like they've got only a handful of players selected

408
00:20:29,040 --> 00:20:31,320
Speaker 2: in the last three or four years. And of course

409
00:20:31,400 --> 00:20:33,560
Speaker 2: the guy that is catching most of the heat forward

410
00:20:33,640 --> 00:20:36,280
Speaker 2: is Quaisiadopho Mensa. The general manager, and that could be

411
00:20:36,359 --> 00:20:38,680
Speaker 2: rightly so. But I've reached out to a few football people.

412
00:20:38,720 --> 00:20:41,320
Speaker 2: I know, guys that used to play the game, and

413
00:20:41,359 --> 00:20:43,960
Speaker 2: I've asked them. I've said, because it's a debate that

414
00:20:43,960 --> 00:20:45,400
Speaker 2: I don't know if any of us can really get

415
00:20:45,400 --> 00:20:50,920
Speaker 2: our wrap our head around. I just don't believe that

416
00:20:51,000 --> 00:20:53,480
Speaker 2: a general manager just goes up to a head coach

417
00:20:53,520 --> 00:20:56,480
Speaker 2: and goes, here's who I'm drafting or here's who I

418
00:20:56,560 --> 00:20:58,560
Speaker 2: drafted for you. I think they you know, and we

419
00:20:58,720 --> 00:21:00,600
Speaker 2: hear it from this organization all the time on it's

420
00:21:00,600 --> 00:21:02,520
Speaker 2: a collaboration. It's a collaboration.

421
00:21:02,960 --> 00:21:05,160
Speaker 5: So my guess is they sit and talk about things.

422
00:21:05,200 --> 00:21:07,960
Speaker 2: So people want Quaysy's head right, he's got to go

423
00:21:08,160 --> 00:21:10,080
Speaker 2: all the None of the draft picks have panned out

424
00:21:10,080 --> 00:21:13,119
Speaker 2: except maybe I guess Turner is starting on the kicker.

425
00:21:13,520 --> 00:21:17,399
Speaker 2: The kicker worked out draft and Addison, and Addison's been

426
00:21:18,320 --> 00:21:21,280
Speaker 2: he can't catch the ball lately. He's quality. But so

427
00:21:21,359 --> 00:21:22,919
Speaker 2: those are the guys and the other ones. You know,

428
00:21:22,960 --> 00:21:25,800
Speaker 2: you think, but even Jordan's not a no, he's not

429
00:21:25,840 --> 00:21:28,760
Speaker 2: a game breaker, no no, but he's still you would think,

430
00:21:28,760 --> 00:21:31,560
Speaker 2: well that was okay draft pick. You know, he's playing.

431
00:21:31,320 --> 00:21:35,640
Speaker 6: And Dothan Jackson at least this year seems confident.

432
00:21:36,359 --> 00:21:38,840
Speaker 2: But I just think it's too simple. Everybody's looking for

433
00:21:38,880 --> 00:21:40,800
Speaker 2: the easy answer. Well, it's got to be the general anags.

434
00:21:40,840 --> 00:21:43,919
Speaker 2: Let's get rid of him and and and like, for instance,

435
00:21:43,960 --> 00:21:47,320
Speaker 2: I asked one of my football friends who played football

436
00:21:47,440 --> 00:21:51,440
Speaker 2: professionally and told me that, Well, like on the McCarthy things,

437
00:21:51,480 --> 00:21:55,400
Speaker 2: certainly that's that's that's not Cam just saying I'm gonna

438
00:21:55,480 --> 00:21:58,880
Speaker 2: draft JJ McCarthy and here he is. That's the conversation

439
00:21:59,040 --> 00:22:02,120
Speaker 2: with the head coach. That's not And you know, it's

440
00:22:02,160 --> 00:22:06,119
Speaker 2: maybe some of the it's more it sounds like for

441
00:22:06,119 --> 00:22:10,320
Speaker 2: for free agents, where we need to I need the coaches,

442
00:22:10,359 --> 00:22:12,760
Speaker 2: we need to help on the interior or the offensive

443
00:22:12,760 --> 00:22:16,480
Speaker 2: and defensive lines, Go get them, Tiger, and then your

444
00:22:16,520 --> 00:22:18,280
Speaker 2: general manager will go out, take a look at the

445
00:22:18,280 --> 00:22:21,800
Speaker 2: free agent list, negotiate with agents and such like that,

446
00:22:21,880 --> 00:22:24,200
Speaker 2: and then they will find a guy. So I think

447
00:22:24,200 --> 00:22:28,520
Speaker 2: sometimes in the free agent market there are there are

448
00:22:28,600 --> 00:22:30,639
Speaker 2: decisions that are made by the general manager that solely

449
00:22:30,720 --> 00:22:32,800
Speaker 2: on him. But when it comes to those draftics, especially

450
00:22:32,840 --> 00:22:35,919
Speaker 2: first round, trust me, it's not just the general manager.

451
00:22:35,960 --> 00:22:38,480
Speaker 2: And that's like that at at any team in the league.

452
00:22:38,520 --> 00:22:41,920
Speaker 2: So but they find themselves in a little bit of

453
00:22:41,960 --> 00:22:44,760
Speaker 2: a total system film configure. I guess is what I'm

454
00:22:44,760 --> 00:22:47,200
Speaker 2: trying to say. Let's do this. Let's let's take another break.

488
00:24:17,920 --> 00:24:21,639
Speaker 2: of out of shape, slow, doesn't understand the game. I

489
00:24:21,760 --> 00:24:24,840
Speaker 2: played football both sides of the ball. I was a

490
00:24:24,880 --> 00:24:29,080
Speaker 2: fierce pass rushing rocket Gibraltar runs, stopping defensive lineman and

491
00:24:29,160 --> 00:24:31,679
Speaker 2: a precise route running sure him had pass catching tight end.

492
00:24:31,960 --> 00:24:34,200
Speaker 5: So I played the game, so I understand twenty two wide.

493
00:24:34,240 --> 00:24:35,919
Speaker 7: No, you sound like an athlete, man, Well I.

494
00:24:36,040 --> 00:24:37,720

495
00:24:37,760 --> 00:24:40,560
Speaker 2: and sixth grade. It was a long time ago with that,

496
00:24:40,640 --> 00:24:43,479
Speaker 2: I played football. How long you've been playing football since? What?

497
00:24:43,600 --> 00:24:45,760
Speaker 2: You're how old? Twenty seven? Yeah?

498
00:24:45,760 --> 00:24:47,720

499
00:24:47,880 --> 00:24:51,040
Speaker 9: Three three, yeah, Floyd, you can start playing a flag?

500
00:24:51,080 --> 00:24:51,719
Speaker 7: What three?

501
00:24:51,800 --> 00:24:52,000
Speaker 2: Yeah?

502
00:24:52,080 --> 00:24:53,240
Speaker 7: Soccer everything at three years?

503
00:24:53,359 --> 00:24:55,200
Speaker 5: Why are you just crawling after each other?

504
00:24:55,280 --> 00:24:56,359
Speaker 2: Or are you actually running?

505
00:24:56,400 --> 00:24:58,399
Speaker 9: They just let us run whichever way and just clapped

506
00:24:58,400 --> 00:24:59,960
Speaker 9: for us, and it had us all feel.

507
00:24:59,840 --> 00:25:01,040
Speaker 7: Like we were the best on the field.

508
00:25:01,119 --> 00:25:04,119
Speaker 2: So sort of like heard soccer they called it. You

509
00:25:04,119 --> 00:25:06,680
Speaker 2: know when your kids first start soccer, they just all

510
00:25:06,720 --> 00:25:07,400
Speaker 2: follow the ball.

511
00:25:07,560 --> 00:25:10,240
Speaker 9: There's thirty kids free for all out there. You didn't

512
00:25:10,240 --> 00:25:11,840
Speaker 9: even know who was on teams. They just wear all

513
00:25:11,880 --> 00:25:13,040
Speaker 9: on T shirts most of the time.

514
00:25:13,080 --> 00:25:15,000
Speaker 2: Were you elite at three? Are you a little bit

515
00:25:15,000 --> 00:25:15,720
Speaker 2: of a late bloomer?

516
00:25:16,119 --> 00:25:17,920
Speaker 7: I'm still blooming, still blooming.

517
00:25:18,400 --> 00:25:20,560
Speaker 9: Yeah, I was. I was bad. I was horrible.

518
00:25:21,000 --> 00:25:22,320
Speaker 2: Did you play other sports too?

519
00:25:22,640 --> 00:25:25,399
Speaker 9: I was more of a baseball player growing up in track,

520
00:25:25,480 --> 00:25:27,720
Speaker 9: but football was more like a family sport, so I

521
00:25:27,760 --> 00:25:28,240
Speaker 9: stuck to that.

522
00:25:28,440 --> 00:25:30,760
Speaker 2: Yeah, well I was worked out for you. I think

523
00:25:31,000 --> 00:25:32,080
Speaker 2: baseball center field.

524
00:25:32,440 --> 00:25:34,680
Speaker 9: No, I played picture in short stuff, Okay, I haven't.

525
00:25:34,680 --> 00:25:36,600
Speaker 9: I never played outfield, which is crazy. We can run,

526
00:25:37,200 --> 00:25:39,320
Speaker 9: Yeah back then I couldn't. Oh, okay, Yeah. I didn't

527
00:25:39,359 --> 00:25:42,280
Speaker 9: get fast until like college or what happened.

528
00:25:42,640 --> 00:25:45,240
Speaker 7: I don't know. I was just slow, So I wasn't

529
00:25:45,320 --> 00:25:45,919
Speaker 7: very blooming.

530
00:25:46,000 --> 00:25:47,520
Speaker 2: I wasn't very good at baseball. I used to play

531
00:25:47,600 --> 00:25:51,119
Speaker 2: right field, foul territory. That's really put me going on

532
00:25:51,160 --> 00:25:53,480
Speaker 2: the field. So it's a whole nother thing in itself.

533
00:25:54,880 --> 00:25:56,160
Speaker 7: You Mass, right, Yeah?

534
00:25:56,240 --> 00:25:57,600
Speaker 5: Yeah, how'd you end up in?

535
00:25:57,640 --> 00:26:00,000
Speaker 2: You? Mass? Was scholarship offer? You offer? Or did you

536
00:26:00,200 --> 00:26:01,200
Speaker 2: just want to go there? Yeah?

537
00:26:01,200 --> 00:26:03,200
Speaker 7: It was a offer. I just wanted to get away

538
00:26:03,200 --> 00:26:03,760
Speaker 7: from Florida.

539
00:26:03,800 --> 00:26:07,560
Speaker 9: I wanted to experience a different like a weather, everything's different,

540
00:26:07,640 --> 00:26:09,359
Speaker 9: and you Mass is one of those teams that, like

541
00:26:09,560 --> 00:26:11,080
Speaker 9: one of those schools that stood out for me.

542
00:26:11,119 --> 00:26:12,480
Speaker 7: So I just wanted to just get away.

543
00:26:12,600 --> 00:26:15,800
Speaker 2: And go to you go to college play ball? Were

544
00:26:15,840 --> 00:26:17,760
Speaker 2: you pretty convinced I may get drafted in the NFL?

545
00:26:17,840 --> 00:26:19,879
Speaker 2: Or were you? I don't know who knows whatever.

546
00:26:20,040 --> 00:26:20,280
Speaker 4: Nah.

547
00:26:20,400 --> 00:26:21,760
Speaker 7: Not my freshman year, I was.

548
00:26:21,880 --> 00:26:24,000
Speaker 9: I left college at one hundred and thirty five pounds,

549
00:26:24,080 --> 00:26:27,760
Speaker 9: so I had no chance. Yeah, But I think my

550
00:26:27,840 --> 00:26:30,720
Speaker 9: sophomore year when I started like really locking in and understanding,

551
00:26:30,760 --> 00:26:32,920
Speaker 9: I had a chance after making a few plays against

552
00:26:32,960 --> 00:26:35,080
Speaker 9: some of the top schools and then I was like,

553
00:26:35,080 --> 00:26:36,520
Speaker 9: all right, cool, let me let me lock in.

554
00:26:36,680 --> 00:26:40,240
Speaker 2: Yeah, and then got drafted by the cult coach.

555
00:26:40,320 --> 00:26:41,879
Speaker 7: Yeah, six round twenty twenty.

556
00:26:42,040 --> 00:26:44,679
Speaker 2: Did they were there other teams? I mean, how does

557
00:26:44,680 --> 00:26:47,119
Speaker 2: that eat process even work? Did they go to the combine?

558
00:26:47,160 --> 00:26:48,840
Speaker 2: Were you at the combine? Did they just watch your

559
00:26:48,880 --> 00:26:50,359
Speaker 2: game and car and say, hey, we kind of like

560
00:26:50,400 --> 00:26:52,040
Speaker 2: you want to shit and chat with you and find

561
00:26:52,080 --> 00:26:52,679
Speaker 2: out what you're like and.

562
00:26:52,680 --> 00:26:55,320
Speaker 9: Go through a few drill My year was different because

563
00:26:55,320 --> 00:26:58,800
Speaker 9: it was COVID, so we had everything on Zoom, So

564
00:26:58,880 --> 00:27:00,760
Speaker 9: I had to sit up in my living room and

565
00:27:00,800 --> 00:27:04,359
Speaker 9: backpedal and drills and stuff for coaches on zoom, study

566
00:27:04,400 --> 00:27:06,480
Speaker 9: plays through Zoom, so I never got to travel to

567
00:27:06,520 --> 00:27:08,840
Speaker 9: the facilities. How the kids are now or back then.

568
00:27:08,920 --> 00:27:11,240
Speaker 9: But it was a lot different. But throughout the draft process,

569
00:27:11,280 --> 00:27:14,440
Speaker 9: it's weird because teams call you throughout second round, third round,

570
00:27:14,720 --> 00:27:16,840
Speaker 9: and you think you're getting drafted, but they're just calling

571
00:27:16,840 --> 00:27:19,480
Speaker 9: the check in on you, seeing how you are being

572
00:27:19,520 --> 00:27:21,920
Speaker 9: ready for if you become undrafted, they try to come

573
00:27:21,960 --> 00:27:24,000
Speaker 9: grab you. So it's just a lot of phone calls calling.

574
00:27:24,119 --> 00:27:27,440
Speaker 2: So as it was getting fourth round, fifth round, getting

575
00:27:27,440 --> 00:27:29,600
Speaker 2: into the shit, were you thinking, man, maybe it ain't

576
00:27:29,640 --> 00:27:31,600
Speaker 2: gonna happen for me. Well, were you pretty convinced at

577
00:27:31,600 --> 00:27:32,879
Speaker 2: that point somebody would grab you.

578
00:27:33,359 --> 00:27:35,240
Speaker 9: I knew I was going to get in somewhere. I

579
00:27:35,240 --> 00:27:36,919
Speaker 9: didn't think I was going to get drafted. Once like

580
00:27:36,960 --> 00:27:38,720
Speaker 9: the fourth and fifth went by, I was like, all right, cool,

581
00:27:38,960 --> 00:27:40,439
Speaker 9: So I kind of just stopped watching it, but my

582
00:27:40,440 --> 00:27:42,320
Speaker 9: family was still there. Everybody was still watching it. And

583
00:27:42,320 --> 00:27:46,360
Speaker 9: then I got a call that I thought was the call,

584
00:27:46,440 --> 00:27:48,119
Speaker 9: but that was fourth round, but it was just a

585
00:27:48,240 --> 00:27:50,359
Speaker 9: check in. And at that point I kind of just like,

586
00:27:50,359 --> 00:27:52,720
Speaker 9: I don't really care anymore if like just hurry up

587
00:27:52,720 --> 00:27:53,640
Speaker 9: and get it over right.

588
00:27:54,320 --> 00:27:58,800
Speaker 2: Colch, Eagles and Vikings kind of like radio town to town,

589
00:27:58,880 --> 00:28:01,679
Speaker 2: up and down the dial. What happens in the you know,

590
00:28:01,760 --> 00:28:04,119
Speaker 2: like the Colts you played there? How did jet up

591
00:28:04,119 --> 00:28:04,680
Speaker 2: with the Eagles?

592
00:28:05,320 --> 00:28:08,320
Speaker 9: You know? Yeah, I was, I was there three years,

593
00:28:09,280 --> 00:28:13,840
Speaker 9: made a stupid young guy decision. I was gambling helping

594
00:28:13,880 --> 00:28:16,000
Speaker 9: out a lot of people back then. Long story, but

595
00:28:16,400 --> 00:28:18,200
Speaker 9: got suspended for a year. It took a year off,

596
00:28:18,280 --> 00:28:20,760
Speaker 9: and well the Eagles signed me like two months later.

597
00:28:20,960 --> 00:28:23,280
Speaker 9: So I was signed with the Eagles while I was suspended,

598
00:28:23,840 --> 00:28:27,359
Speaker 9: and they just basically just kept me like uplifted or

599
00:28:27,359 --> 00:28:28,520
Speaker 9: whateverver you.

600
00:28:28,520 --> 00:28:29,000
Speaker 7: Want to put it.

601
00:28:29,000 --> 00:28:30,560
Speaker 9: So I just kind of just stayed working out, stayed

602
00:28:30,560 --> 00:28:33,760
Speaker 9: on the NFL type schedule, came back with them last year,

603
00:28:34,160 --> 00:28:36,680
Speaker 9: and then went into free agency and you know, ended

604
00:28:36,720 --> 00:28:37,040
Speaker 9: up here.

605
00:28:38,040 --> 00:28:39,320
Speaker 2: You played for him last year.

606
00:28:39,400 --> 00:28:41,080
Speaker 9: Yeah, I played for him last ye where's your ring?

607
00:28:42,800 --> 00:28:47,360
Speaker 9: It's a little stash stashed up, but I haven't I

608
00:28:47,400 --> 00:28:48,480
Speaker 9: haven't looked at it in a while.

609
00:28:48,640 --> 00:28:51,160
Speaker 2: Yeah, but that's cool because you know a lot of guys,

610
00:28:51,160 --> 00:28:52,960
Speaker 2: you know, obviously played for a career for money and

611
00:28:53,000 --> 00:28:55,320
Speaker 2: for a ring, and to get one at early in

612
00:28:55,360 --> 00:28:56,680
Speaker 2: your career is kind of nice to get that out

613
00:28:56,680 --> 00:28:56,960
Speaker 2: of the way.

614
00:28:57,040 --> 00:28:57,240
Speaker 6: Yeah.

615
00:28:57,240 --> 00:28:57,920
Speaker 7: I got it out the way.

616
00:28:58,000 --> 00:29:00,959
Speaker 2: Yeah. Yeah, I feel like if I'm a home here

617
00:29:00,960 --> 00:29:02,800
Speaker 2: in Minnesota, like I actually do.

618
00:29:02,960 --> 00:29:05,360
Speaker 7: I like being in different sceneries than Florida.

619
00:29:05,440 --> 00:29:08,160
Speaker 9: Being from Florida to the hot climbing and there's a

620
00:29:08,200 --> 00:29:09,960
Speaker 9: lot of things to do. I think in Minnesota's perfect

621
00:29:09,960 --> 00:29:11,920
Speaker 9: for me and for my family, and it's like really

622
00:29:11,920 --> 00:29:14,360
Speaker 9: like nothing too much to do with the weather and everything.

623
00:29:14,400 --> 00:29:16,600
Speaker 7: So I actually love it here big.

624
00:29:17,080 --> 00:29:18,800
Speaker 2: This season just hasn't gone the way the team is

625
00:29:18,840 --> 00:29:21,520
Speaker 2: wanted offensive even defensively, you couldn't stop the runn early.

626
00:29:21,520 --> 00:29:24,000
Speaker 2: Defense playing better now, having trouble to the quarterback if you're

627
00:29:24,040 --> 00:29:29,160
Speaker 2: not scoring any points, could shut out. Uh, difficult to

628
00:29:29,360 --> 00:29:31,840
Speaker 2: go to the complex every day with a positive attitude

629
00:29:31,920 --> 00:29:32,080
Speaker 2: or not.

630
00:29:32,320 --> 00:29:34,280
Speaker 9: Now, I won't to say it's difficult. I think end

631
00:29:34,280 --> 00:29:37,040
Speaker 9: of the day, win, lose, draw, whatever, we all still

632
00:29:37,080 --> 00:29:38,959
Speaker 9: have a job to do. Like, you got to look

633
00:29:39,040 --> 00:29:41,720
Speaker 9: you gotta look past those games. Those games do hurt,

634
00:29:41,920 --> 00:29:43,880
Speaker 9: especially when we just have this weekend. But you understand,

635
00:29:43,960 --> 00:29:45,840
Speaker 9: like once you get on the plane and you get

636
00:29:45,840 --> 00:29:48,000
Speaker 9: back home, you gotta reset, You go back to your families,

637
00:29:48,040 --> 00:29:49,920
Speaker 9: reset and get ready to come in and watch it

638
00:29:50,000 --> 00:29:51,440
Speaker 9: next week. So we just got to focus on on

639
00:29:51,480 --> 00:29:52,320
Speaker 9: the commanders right now.

640
00:29:52,720 --> 00:29:56,080
Speaker 6: I'm guessing for you specifically too. Right just from listening

641
00:29:56,120 --> 00:29:57,640
Speaker 6: to you, it sounds like there's always been a little

642
00:29:57,640 --> 00:30:00,480
Speaker 6: bit of uncertainty in your future, right, Like you're small

643
00:30:00,480 --> 00:30:04,040
Speaker 6: out of high school, you weren't. Yeah, right, you're drafted lates,

644
00:30:04,080 --> 00:30:06,680
Speaker 6: which you always have to keep working for your spot,

645
00:30:06,760 --> 00:30:09,440
Speaker 6: right Like, and to find yourself in this role, I

646
00:30:09,440 --> 00:30:12,160
Speaker 6: have to imagine, like you're you're you're still playing for

647
00:30:12,200 --> 00:30:13,160
Speaker 6: your future.

648
00:30:12,880 --> 00:30:13,160
Speaker 2: Right Like.

649
00:30:13,160 --> 00:30:15,160
Speaker 6: I think you're pretty you're satisfied with your season and

650
00:30:15,160 --> 00:30:17,880
Speaker 6: how it's going. But I'm guessing just that mentality is

651
00:30:17,920 --> 00:30:19,840
Speaker 6: probably different with you than maybe some others.

652
00:30:20,160 --> 00:30:23,600
Speaker 9: Yeah, Like, like you mentioned, I've I done had the

653
00:30:23,640 --> 00:30:26,480
Speaker 9: doubts of all the doubts from coaches, from teammates, thinking

654
00:30:26,520 --> 00:30:28,000
Speaker 9: I wouldn't be the guy to go to the lead,

655
00:30:28,080 --> 00:30:30,959
Speaker 9: and I kind of more so just switched over a

656
00:30:31,000 --> 00:30:32,720
Speaker 9: new leaf into my life and more so instead of

657
00:30:32,720 --> 00:30:35,600
Speaker 9: trying to prove all the doubters wrong, you know, I

658
00:30:35,640 --> 00:30:37,000
Speaker 9: just kind of approve a lot of people who believe me.

659
00:30:37,040 --> 00:30:38,400
Speaker 9: I like to prove those people right. So I kind

660
00:30:38,400 --> 00:30:40,240
Speaker 9: of just focused on the positivity of my life.

661
00:30:40,600 --> 00:30:43,240
Speaker 2: That's good attitude. Yeah, trying the people that don't believe

662
00:30:43,240 --> 00:30:44,200
Speaker 2: in you and just make the people.

663
00:30:44,400 --> 00:30:46,000
Speaker 9: Yeah, it's all about of people who believe me. That's

664
00:30:46,000 --> 00:30:47,120
Speaker 9: the only thing that matters right now.

665
00:30:47,200 --> 00:30:49,640
Speaker 2: Yeah, I think believed in you.

666
00:30:49,480 --> 00:30:51,000
Speaker 7: Yeah, Yeah, that's my guy. That's my guy.

667
00:30:51,520 --> 00:30:51,720
Speaker 2: Yeah.

668
00:30:52,160 --> 00:30:53,720
Speaker 6: To be honest with you, like as a Vikings fan,

669
00:30:53,800 --> 00:30:55,600
Speaker 6: like when you signed on day one or Fridgy, I

670
00:30:55,640 --> 00:30:57,640
Speaker 6: think most of us were like, who is this guy?

671
00:30:57,720 --> 00:30:57,880
Speaker 2: Right?

672
00:30:57,920 --> 00:31:00,360
Speaker 6: And we weren't expecting when that sign that you'd be

673
00:31:00,400 --> 00:31:02,560
Speaker 6: like the starting cornerback, like there was more moves to come.

674
00:31:02,960 --> 00:31:05,240
Speaker 6: They clearly saw something new and believed in you, and

675
00:31:05,280 --> 00:31:06,760
Speaker 6: I think you've kind of proven them right as the

676
00:31:06,760 --> 00:31:07,520
Speaker 6: season's gone along.

677
00:31:07,800 --> 00:31:08,000
Speaker 2: Yeah.

678
00:31:08,000 --> 00:31:10,120
Speaker 9: I'm just just trying to keep going and just trying

679
00:31:10,160 --> 00:31:12,280
Speaker 9: to continue to stack the days and I just want

680
00:31:12,280 --> 00:31:13,760
Speaker 9: to go out there and make more plays and you know,

681
00:31:13,840 --> 00:31:16,680
Speaker 9: make the state of Minnesota, you know, proud and and

682
00:31:16,760 --> 00:31:18,440
Speaker 9: you know kind of don't look back and say, oh,

683
00:31:18,480 --> 00:31:20,320
Speaker 9: that was one of those signs where I cool, he's gone.

684
00:31:20,320 --> 00:31:20,480
Speaker 2: You know.

685
00:31:20,520 --> 00:31:21,959
Speaker 7: So I want to be that guy that just continue

686
00:31:21,960 --> 00:31:23,200
Speaker 7: to keep going to be here for a long time.

687
00:31:23,280 --> 00:31:25,680
Speaker 2: Our guests here at Shields as I say, Rogers defensive

688
00:31:25,720 --> 00:31:28,960
Speaker 2: back for the Minnesota Vikings. Where or toys for tents drive?

689
00:31:30,240 --> 00:31:33,640
Speaker 2: So you've played for three different defensive coordinators and right colts,

690
00:31:33,960 --> 00:31:37,240
Speaker 2: Eagles and Vikings. How did they different? We are getting

691
00:31:37,240 --> 00:31:39,440
Speaker 2: too specific, I mean do they all have different approaches?

692
00:31:39,520 --> 00:31:41,280
Speaker 2: Is it all kind of the same with just tweaks

693
00:31:41,360 --> 00:31:44,840
Speaker 2: or does is every guy? Is every system? Like? Are

694
00:31:44,840 --> 00:31:48,360
Speaker 2: those three systems significantly different from one another?

695
00:31:49,400 --> 00:31:52,280
Speaker 9: With the Coast, I had three years two different defensive coordinators,

696
00:31:52,320 --> 00:31:55,160
Speaker 9: so that was difficult in itself, And then with my

697
00:31:55,240 --> 00:31:57,280
Speaker 9: rookie year being COVID, we were home a lot learning

698
00:31:57,480 --> 00:31:59,440
Speaker 9: throughout the through zoom, so it was a lot difficult,

699
00:31:59,520 --> 00:32:02,640
Speaker 9: not actually in the building learning hands on. But I

700
00:32:02,640 --> 00:32:05,800
Speaker 9: probably have four defensive coordinators I've been leading. Everyone's different.

701
00:32:05,920 --> 00:32:09,080
Speaker 9: Everyone has different mindset, different philosophies on why you're going

702
00:32:09,160 --> 00:32:10,840
Speaker 9: to do it this way, and a lot of a

703
00:32:10,880 --> 00:32:12,640
Speaker 9: lot of teams in the league have the same terms,

704
00:32:12,720 --> 00:32:14,400
Speaker 9: but it's a whole different analogy. So you got to

705
00:32:14,600 --> 00:32:17,000
Speaker 9: throw away what you learn for the past three years

706
00:32:17,040 --> 00:32:18,520
Speaker 9: and come into a new system and have to just

707
00:32:18,560 --> 00:32:19,160
Speaker 9: adapt to it.

708
00:32:19,520 --> 00:32:21,520
Speaker 2: B Flow likes to say he is he has approached

709
00:32:21,520 --> 00:32:25,520
Speaker 2: your defense is being aggressive without being reckless. That the

710
00:32:25,520 --> 00:32:26,520
Speaker 2: best way to describe it.

711
00:32:26,640 --> 00:32:28,880
Speaker 9: Yeah, he's one of those type of guys and just

712
00:32:29,520 --> 00:32:31,880
Speaker 9: not really he's real focused on not looking at the scoreboard,

713
00:32:31,880 --> 00:32:34,720
Speaker 9: whether we're up thirty three zero, whether we're down thirty

714
00:32:34,720 --> 00:32:36,320
Speaker 9: two zero. He don't look at the scoreboard. He just

715
00:32:36,360 --> 00:32:38,320
Speaker 9: likes to keep applying pressure and keep going.

716
00:32:39,680 --> 00:32:43,320
Speaker 6: I was gonna say, is that challenging mentally psychologically? A

717
00:32:43,360 --> 00:32:45,640
Speaker 6: game like last game right where you defense is balling

718
00:32:45,680 --> 00:32:48,680
Speaker 6: out because they're playing great and the offense just isn't.

719
00:32:48,520 --> 00:32:50,400
Speaker 2: Really giving you much to turn the ball over?

720
00:32:51,920 --> 00:32:53,040
Speaker 6: Is that hard in the middle of the game to

721
00:32:53,080 --> 00:32:54,880
Speaker 6: feel like you're you're side of the balls constantly like

722
00:32:54,960 --> 00:32:57,600
Speaker 6: going uphill here, and how do you like, how do

723
00:32:57,640 --> 00:33:01,920
Speaker 6: you maintain that focus and competitiveness. Well, that's occurring when

724
00:33:01,960 --> 00:33:03,360
Speaker 6: you're not getting help from the other side of the ball.

725
00:33:03,440 --> 00:33:04,760
Speaker 7: I think that's the best part of football.

726
00:33:04,800 --> 00:33:07,959
Speaker 9: Would have been a competitive sports, complimentary football, like we

727
00:33:08,000 --> 00:33:10,000
Speaker 9: need the offense, they need us, we need special teams.

728
00:33:10,280 --> 00:33:11,920
Speaker 9: So in the end we see their defense and making

729
00:33:11,960 --> 00:33:13,960
Speaker 9: those type of plays, so we aren't going out there

730
00:33:14,000 --> 00:33:16,239
Speaker 9: like offense isn't doing this, they're not doing that, Like

731
00:33:16,360 --> 00:33:18,080
Speaker 9: we're like, all right, cool, they did this, now let's

732
00:33:18,080 --> 00:33:19,640
Speaker 9: go do it. Let's do it too. We could be

733
00:33:19,640 --> 00:33:21,080
Speaker 9: better than them. So really it turns to the defense

734
00:33:21,160 --> 00:33:23,600
Speaker 9: versus defense type of game. So that's more about mindsets,

735
00:33:23,600 --> 00:33:24,640
Speaker 9: just trying to be better than.

736
00:33:24,560 --> 00:33:27,160
Speaker 5: Them defense played.

737
00:33:27,480 --> 00:33:29,160
Speaker 2: I know it was twenty six points. Now six of

738
00:33:29,240 --> 00:33:32,240
Speaker 2: it was what was the pick six? That's a really

739
00:33:32,280 --> 00:33:34,840
Speaker 2: good Seattle offense. Donald's got them Homme in there playing

740
00:33:34,840 --> 00:33:39,080
Speaker 2: really well. You guys. Donald had pedestrian numbers. He's been

741
00:33:39,160 --> 00:33:42,280
Speaker 2: talked about as possible MVP candidate this year. Yeah, he

742
00:33:42,400 --> 00:33:44,960
Speaker 2: completed maybe a little over fifty percent of it and

743
00:33:45,000 --> 00:33:46,800
Speaker 2: only a couple hundred yards. No, you know, you had

744
00:33:46,840 --> 00:33:52,280
Speaker 2: no interception, no touchdowns. What did you do against Seattle

745
00:33:52,280 --> 00:33:55,000
Speaker 2: that other teams weren't able to do that?

746
00:33:55,120 --> 00:33:56,560
Speaker 7: Shout out to Flores.

747
00:33:56,560 --> 00:33:59,080
Speaker 9: That's Flora's mindset, and just all the guys on the

748
00:33:59,080 --> 00:34:01,920
Speaker 9: field just buying in, trusting the process and knowing we

749
00:34:02,000 --> 00:34:03,400
Speaker 9: left a lot of players out there, like, yeah, we

750
00:34:03,480 --> 00:34:05,800
Speaker 9: had the sacks by Dallas Turner and the fumbles and

751
00:34:05,880 --> 00:34:07,640
Speaker 9: things like that, but you know, we just don't want

752
00:34:07,640 --> 00:34:09,560
Speaker 9: those one to turn those into touchdowns as well.

753
00:34:09,600 --> 00:34:11,560
Speaker 7: So we just got to keep stacking days and keep going.

754
00:34:11,800 --> 00:34:14,120
Speaker 6: I apologize it to not watch the All eleven. So

755
00:34:14,120 --> 00:34:15,560
Speaker 6: I don't know how many times are you lined up

756
00:34:15,719 --> 00:34:18,200
Speaker 6: with Jackson Smith and Jigbuf Did you get to see

757
00:34:18,239 --> 00:34:22,640
Speaker 6: him at all? Because he clearly is the best season

758
00:34:22,640 --> 00:34:24,600
Speaker 6: of all the receivers, and you guys shut him down

759
00:34:24,640 --> 00:34:25,080
Speaker 6: pretty good.

760
00:34:25,640 --> 00:34:27,399
Speaker 9: I was, I was lined up a lot of a lot,

761
00:34:27,480 --> 00:34:29,680
Speaker 9: but it was more like running place. I think a

762
00:34:29,760 --> 00:34:32,799
Speaker 9: few times I had a different routes, but you had

763
00:34:32,920 --> 00:34:35,759
Speaker 9: Eric Wilson and Blake Cashman getting to the backfield Dallas Turner,

764
00:34:35,880 --> 00:34:37,799
Speaker 9: so Sam didn't have the chance to throw it to him.

765
00:34:38,160 --> 00:34:42,200
Speaker 2: Yeah. Uh so now you're you're four and eight, have

766
00:34:42,280 --> 00:34:43,920
Speaker 2: to run the table even then, you know, with the

767
00:34:44,080 --> 00:34:47,200
Speaker 2: NFC stack this year, yeah, I think right now they

768
00:34:47,920 --> 00:34:52,000
Speaker 2: the last playoff team and it's still like what nine

769
00:34:52,040 --> 00:34:53,839
Speaker 2: and eight and three, eight and four?

770
00:34:54,320 --> 00:34:56,080
Speaker 7: Yeah, I think everyone's over like six.

771
00:34:56,840 --> 00:34:59,759
Speaker 2: Yeah, so it's tough. So it's just like you say,

772
00:35:00,120 --> 00:35:01,600
Speaker 2: you know, taking a game at a time and such

773
00:35:01,760 --> 00:35:06,400
Speaker 2: like that. Are you looking at personal goals as well

774
00:35:06,440 --> 00:35:08,800
Speaker 2: then too, because like tan to be asked you earlier,

775
00:35:08,840 --> 00:35:10,719
Speaker 2: it's like you know, you're you're, you're you're playing for

776
00:35:10,760 --> 00:35:11,359
Speaker 2: career too.

777
00:35:11,480 --> 00:35:11,680
Speaker 7: Yeah.

778
00:35:11,800 --> 00:35:12,759
Speaker 9: No, I think at the end of the day, is

779
00:35:12,800 --> 00:35:15,120
Speaker 9: still a team sport. I think we all, like I say,

780
00:35:15,160 --> 00:35:16,480
Speaker 9: we all still have a job at end of the day.

781
00:35:16,480 --> 00:35:18,440
Speaker 9: So if you go out there like all right, this

782
00:35:18,480 --> 00:35:20,359
Speaker 9: is our record, this is their record, it doesn't really

783
00:35:20,360 --> 00:35:22,600
Speaker 9: matter another day. If you feel like that, you go

784
00:35:22,640 --> 00:35:24,520
Speaker 9: out there and just don't do what you need to do,

785
00:35:24,560 --> 00:35:26,279
Speaker 9: you probably won't be here next year and any that

786
00:35:26,400 --> 00:35:27,879
Speaker 9: goes to your career. So I think you just got

787
00:35:27,880 --> 00:35:30,920
Speaker 9: to lock in and focusing on completing the team tests.

788
00:35:31,239 --> 00:35:32,720
Speaker 2: All right, very controversial question.

789
00:35:33,760 --> 00:35:37,320
Speaker 6: Is cornerback the most challenging position in all of sports?

790
00:35:37,920 --> 00:35:41,879
Speaker 7: All of sports? No?

791
00:35:41,880 --> 00:35:44,759
Speaker 2: No, what's more challenging? I don't know.

792
00:35:44,920 --> 00:35:46,879
Speaker 7: Probably like a goalie is hard.

793
00:35:47,360 --> 00:35:49,600
Speaker 2: Yeah, you're like goalies, You're sitting like a little four

794
00:35:49,600 --> 00:35:52,320
Speaker 2: foot radius the whole time. You gotta run backwards against

795
00:35:52,320 --> 00:35:53,480
Speaker 2: the best athletes in the world.

796
00:35:53,680 --> 00:35:56,160
Speaker 9: Yeah, I think it's the hardest, probably the hardest position

797
00:35:56,200 --> 00:35:58,960
Speaker 9: in football, But it's sports all the sports that I

798
00:35:58,960 --> 00:36:01,600
Speaker 9: don't know, that's kind of hard because it's a lot

799
00:36:01,600 --> 00:36:03,239
Speaker 9: of sports out there with a lot of conflicts to

800
00:36:03,320 --> 00:36:05,560
Speaker 9: it that that as football players, we probably don't think

801
00:36:05,640 --> 00:36:07,480
Speaker 9: is that hard to do just by looking, but when

802
00:36:07,520 --> 00:36:09,239
Speaker 9: you actually get out there and try, it's definitely hard.

803
00:36:09,280 --> 00:36:09,520
Speaker 8: All right.

804
00:36:09,520 --> 00:36:14,120
Speaker 2: I got another position question. How often are you no

805
00:36:14,360 --> 00:36:18,840
Speaker 2: flag is thrown and you know you've you've been a

806
00:36:19,040 --> 00:36:20,960
Speaker 2: past interference that happened a lot.

807
00:36:21,080 --> 00:36:22,320
Speaker 7: That's crazy this sound.

808
00:36:22,400 --> 00:36:24,759
Speaker 9: I only had like three flags in my career, so

809
00:36:24,800 --> 00:36:27,160
Speaker 9: I don't get a lot of flags. I really don't

810
00:36:27,719 --> 00:36:29,880
Speaker 9: want flags. I don't want to be like let the

811
00:36:29,880 --> 00:36:31,960
Speaker 9: team down things like that. But I haven't had any

812
00:36:32,040 --> 00:36:35,600
Speaker 9: this year, you know, so amazing. Yeah, I'm not the

813
00:36:35,600 --> 00:36:37,120
Speaker 9: guy that like, if I get a flag, I'm like,

814
00:36:37,280 --> 00:36:39,319
Speaker 9: that wasn't me. So like you kind of know when

815
00:36:39,360 --> 00:36:40,759
Speaker 9: you do it, sometimes you just got to take it.

816
00:36:40,800 --> 00:36:43,840
Speaker 2: But yeah, wait, because to me, that would be the

817
00:36:43,840 --> 00:36:46,560
Speaker 2: most frustrating part of that position is because I'm sure

818
00:36:46,600 --> 00:36:49,080
Speaker 2: because they'll show the replay on you know, I'm sitting

819
00:36:49,080 --> 00:36:51,759
Speaker 2: on the college watching on TV. Pass interference is called.

820
00:36:51,920 --> 00:36:54,440
Speaker 2: They show four different angles and go, that wasn't passing interference.

821
00:36:54,480 --> 00:36:55,759
Speaker 2: You got the guys on it, you know, on the TV,

822
00:36:55,840 --> 00:36:57,920
Speaker 2: the former players going that wasn't p I don't what

823
00:36:57,920 --> 00:36:59,880
Speaker 2: they're doing that. I think it's a player. You're like, well,

824
00:37:00,000 --> 00:37:03,160
Speaker 2: wait a minute. When it does happen to your teammates

825
00:37:03,239 --> 00:37:05,360
Speaker 2: or anybody else, it's got to be frustrated when you

826
00:37:05,360 --> 00:37:08,239
Speaker 2: know it wasn't. Especially some of these calls changed the

827
00:37:08,640 --> 00:37:09,640
Speaker 2: entire outcome of the game.

828
00:37:09,880 --> 00:37:11,920
Speaker 9: I think that's the scary part. But end of the day,

829
00:37:11,960 --> 00:37:14,360
Speaker 9: we kind of understand that defensive player. It's the offensive world.

830
00:37:14,600 --> 00:37:17,200
Speaker 9: And I think, like you know, fans watch the game

831
00:37:17,239 --> 00:37:19,360
Speaker 9: for the offense. That's where the points are getting, you know,

832
00:37:19,440 --> 00:37:21,680
Speaker 9: produced as that's where the money is. So you know

833
00:37:22,080 --> 00:37:23,960
Speaker 9: they're going to try to give leeway to the offense.

834
00:37:23,960 --> 00:37:25,799
Speaker 9: So we kind of know the defensive players like they're

835
00:37:25,840 --> 00:37:27,320
Speaker 9: going to lean towards the offense.

836
00:37:27,600 --> 00:37:32,479
Speaker 2: Yeah, who do you think is uh other thing? Guys

837
00:37:32,480 --> 00:37:34,239
Speaker 2: in your team? Who do you think the best wide

838
00:37:34,239 --> 00:37:38,040
Speaker 2: out is in Pro football? Now? I go.

839
00:37:39,760 --> 00:37:43,000
Speaker 9: Pooka Nicour or Jackson? Really yeah, Jackson over Seattle. His

840
00:37:43,080 --> 00:37:45,319
Speaker 9: numbers are showing it. But like you say, other than

841
00:37:45,400 --> 00:37:47,440
Speaker 9: guys on our team, you know, I still think Jets

842
00:37:47,440 --> 00:37:49,520
Speaker 9: and the A J. Browns are those type of guys.

843
00:37:49,520 --> 00:37:52,080
Speaker 9: But as of now, like I like Pooka and DeVante Adams.

844
00:37:52,360 --> 00:37:54,440
Speaker 6: What's good about Puka because you know, obviously he was

845
00:37:54,480 --> 00:37:55,400
Speaker 6: slept on in the draft.

846
00:37:55,920 --> 00:37:57,440
Speaker 2: You can go very high.

847
00:37:57,480 --> 00:37:59,840
Speaker 9: I played it a few times, very physical. He's actually

848
00:37:59,840 --> 00:38:02,360
Speaker 9: been you know, people think and and he's just strong

849
00:38:02,600 --> 00:38:03,080
Speaker 9: and he.

850
00:38:03,040 --> 00:38:04,000
Speaker 7: Could sell anywere oute.

851
00:38:04,000 --> 00:38:06,200
Speaker 9: He can make it like he's blocking and he has

852
00:38:06,440 --> 00:38:08,400
Speaker 9: he has a quarterback over there who trusts him to

853
00:38:08,440 --> 00:38:11,839
Speaker 9: have a great you know, collective over there as an

854
00:38:11,880 --> 00:38:14,479
Speaker 9: oc everything all over there. So I think, basically pok

855
00:38:14,520 --> 00:38:16,439
Speaker 9: this whole entire scheme, like he's just he's a pretty

856
00:38:16,440 --> 00:38:17,080
Speaker 9: good in s game.

857
00:38:17,400 --> 00:38:18,680
Speaker 2: Here's the guy. I want to ask you about it.

858
00:38:18,719 --> 00:38:21,560
Speaker 2: I saw an interesting statistic here and I saved it.

859
00:38:21,640 --> 00:38:23,160
Speaker 2: Let me grab it here real quick, ten of me,

860
00:38:23,200 --> 00:38:25,000
Speaker 2: you tap dance first, find this.

861
00:38:25,120 --> 00:38:26,640
Speaker 6: Well, he waits for that question. I was just gonna

862
00:38:26,640 --> 00:38:29,319
Speaker 6: ask you. When you were signed, part of your skill

863
00:38:29,400 --> 00:38:32,240
Speaker 6: set that we thought was, hey, this guy's can return puns,

864
00:38:32,280 --> 00:38:34,600
Speaker 6: return kicks for us, and you're really having doing that,

865
00:38:34,600 --> 00:38:36,840
Speaker 6: which is a compliment to you. Because you're so valuable

866
00:38:36,880 --> 00:38:38,160
Speaker 6: as a cornerback, they don't want to put you in

867
00:38:38,160 --> 00:38:40,359
Speaker 6: that position. But do you miss out being a part

868
00:38:40,360 --> 00:38:42,120
Speaker 6: of the return game. He still occasionally say hey, let

869
00:38:42,160 --> 00:38:44,160
Speaker 6: me let me get out there. Yeah, I definitely, I

870
00:38:44,239 --> 00:38:46,759
Speaker 6: definitely do miss it. I end up watching it a

871
00:38:46,760 --> 00:38:48,600
Speaker 6: lot when I see a Miles Price go back there.

872
00:38:48,640 --> 00:38:50,680
Speaker 6: But you know, just watching the young guy, I was

873
00:38:50,719 --> 00:38:52,400
Speaker 6: in his shoes before being that rookie. You know that

874
00:38:52,480 --> 00:38:54,120
Speaker 6: was like your job and a roll on the team.

875
00:38:54,200 --> 00:38:55,560
Speaker 6: But it's definitely something I do missed.

876
00:38:55,960 --> 00:38:58,120
Speaker 2: So I was born in Detroit, so I'm a Lions fan,

877
00:38:58,160 --> 00:39:00,240
Speaker 2: also Vikings fan because I lived most of my life,

878
00:39:01,000 --> 00:39:02,919
Speaker 2: so I follow the lines pretty closely. I saw this,

879
00:39:02,920 --> 00:39:05,759
Speaker 2: this piece talking about wide receivers. This I found this

880
00:39:05,760 --> 00:39:08,280
Speaker 2: this morning on a CBS sports piece. It says, according

881
00:39:08,280 --> 00:39:11,440
Speaker 2: to CBS Sports Research, the Lions ranked number one in

882
00:39:11,520 --> 00:39:15,000
Speaker 2: yards per play with Saint Brown on the field since

883
00:39:15,040 --> 00:39:18,000
Speaker 2: he began his NFL career in twenty twenty one, and

884
00:39:18,040 --> 00:39:21,279
Speaker 2: their number twenty five when he's not on the field.

885
00:39:21,600 --> 00:39:24,560
Speaker 2: To me, that's an astonishing statistic. I'll read that against us,

886
00:39:24,640 --> 00:39:27,439
Speaker 2: they ranked number one in yards per play when he's

887
00:39:27,480 --> 00:39:29,759
Speaker 2: on the field since he started his career in twenty

888
00:39:29,800 --> 00:39:32,959
Speaker 2: twenty one. He's number twenty and their number twenty five

889
00:39:33,600 --> 00:39:36,000
Speaker 2: with him off the field. Detroit alson ranks number two

890
00:39:36,000 --> 00:39:38,720
Speaker 2: in offensive efficiency was Sam Brown in the field number

891
00:39:38,760 --> 00:39:42,279
Speaker 2: sixteen When he's on the sideline, his five hundred and

892
00:39:42,320 --> 00:39:45,960
Speaker 2: five receptions ranked second all time in a player's first

893
00:39:46,120 --> 00:39:49,480
Speaker 2: five seasons. So, you know, we talk about the Mosses,

894
00:39:49,600 --> 00:39:52,400
Speaker 2: we talk about you know, you know, Jets and Ready, so,

895
00:39:52,800 --> 00:39:55,600
Speaker 2: but Saint Brown seems to have quite the impact. You

896
00:39:56,080 --> 00:39:58,000
Speaker 2: played against them, how.

897
00:39:58,040 --> 00:40:01,680
Speaker 9: Good is he He's similar to the Puka conversation, Like in

898
00:40:01,680 --> 00:40:03,560
Speaker 9: that scheme, he's going to get the ball, like we knew,

899
00:40:03,560 --> 00:40:05,920
Speaker 9: go into the game. They're gonna you know, he's averaging

900
00:40:05,920 --> 00:40:08,239
Speaker 9: probably ten targets a game. Those is those games that

901
00:40:08,320 --> 00:40:09,839
Speaker 9: you gotta go into the game. No, he's gonna They're

902
00:40:09,840 --> 00:40:10,920
Speaker 9: going to find a way to get him the ball.

903
00:40:10,920 --> 00:40:13,319
Speaker 9: Like you said, the stats proven to hisself. So I

904
00:40:13,320 --> 00:40:15,680
Speaker 9: think it's like that with you pay him thirty plus

905
00:40:15,760 --> 00:40:17,719
Speaker 9: million dollars with the issue you're throwing the ball as well.

906
00:40:17,840 --> 00:40:22,359
Speaker 2: So yeah, good luck the rest of the season. Thank you, Yeah,

907
00:40:22,480 --> 00:40:24,520
Speaker 2: and thanks for joining us. We appreciate it. Thank youty.
