Ian. 4 00:00:07,760 --> 00:00:09,520 Speaker 1: Good afternoon, sir, Thank you so much for the time. 5 00:00:09,560 --> 00:00:10,000 Speaker 1: How are you? 6 00:00:11,440 --> 00:00:12,160 Speaker 3: What's going on? 7 00:00:12,200 --> 00:00:12,720 Speaker 4: How were you? 8 00:00:13,400 --> 00:00:17,599 Speaker 2: We're fantastic coming off of another really exciting season and 9 00:00:17,800 --> 00:00:18,760 Speaker 2: another Super Bowl here? 10 00:00:18,800 --> 00:00:20,400 Speaker 1: What was your takeaway from the game last night? 11 00:00:22,280 --> 00:00:24,479 Speaker 5: I think, first of all, it was interesting because, like 12 00:00:25,040 --> 00:00:27,319 Speaker 5: you know, it was a good game. Was it the 13 00:00:27,360 --> 00:00:30,280 Speaker 5: most like thoroughly enjoyable, like maybe not. 14 00:00:30,400 --> 00:00:33,839 Speaker 6: We've seen you know, plenty of others where you know, 15 00:00:34,159 --> 00:00:35,320 Speaker 6: big plays and all that. 16 00:00:35,360 --> 00:00:37,960 Speaker 3: I mean, it was a very well played Super Bowl. 17 00:00:38,000 --> 00:00:40,000 Speaker 5: Defensively, I think the better team won. 18 00:00:40,680 --> 00:00:45,360 Speaker 7: I think Seattle really showed just how unbelievably dominant they are, 19 00:00:47,040 --> 00:00:50,360 Speaker 7: and I think probably the score was maybe even a 20 00:00:50,400 --> 00:00:52,000 Speaker 7: little closer than the game was. 21 00:00:52,280 --> 00:00:56,120 Speaker 5: You know, I think Seattle was clearly the better team, 22 00:00:56,160 --> 00:00:58,200 Speaker 5: and I think the Patriots had a great season that 23 00:00:58,240 --> 00:00:59,000 Speaker 5: they could build on. 24 00:01:00,840 --> 00:01:04,280 Speaker 8: Going into there you go. My mic was up, thank you, 25 00:01:04,280 --> 00:01:07,240 Speaker 8: ay Roth going into that game. 26 00:01:07,080 --> 00:01:10,520 Speaker 1: As your probably yeah we're back, let's go. 27 00:01:11,280 --> 00:01:15,120 Speaker 8: We see Drake may really struggle through the postseason, including 28 00:01:15,120 --> 00:01:17,600 Speaker 8: the game in Denver here against the Broncos, and that 29 00:01:17,680 --> 00:01:19,119 Speaker 8: showed up again yesterday. 30 00:01:20,120 --> 00:01:22,560 Speaker 1: What do you what are your thoughts. 31 00:01:22,200 --> 00:01:25,520 Speaker 8: On Drake May. Now, he obviously had a really good year, 32 00:01:25,600 --> 00:01:28,560 Speaker 8: they had a very easy schedule. Do you feel like 33 00:01:28,640 --> 00:01:31,800 Speaker 8: he just isn't quite ready for the big time? 34 00:01:33,040 --> 00:01:35,760 Speaker 4: So I don't really see it as a Drake May issue. 35 00:01:35,800 --> 00:01:39,039 Speaker 4: I really see it as a offensive execution and just 36 00:01:39,080 --> 00:01:41,800 Speaker 4: ability to to protect the issue. I mean, if you 37 00:01:41,840 --> 00:01:45,480 Speaker 4: watch Will Campbell get a very challenging game, I mean, 38 00:01:45,520 --> 00:01:48,320 Speaker 4: he really did, and he's had a challenging postseason, and 39 00:01:49,000 --> 00:01:51,640 Speaker 4: you know, he is a he's top. 40 00:01:51,480 --> 00:01:54,680 Speaker 5: Pick, he's extremely talented. He's got to learn and. 41 00:01:54,640 --> 00:01:55,840 Speaker 3: Be better, and I think he will. 42 00:01:56,600 --> 00:01:58,400 Speaker 6: But you know, I think those are the kinds of 43 00:01:58,440 --> 00:02:01,280 Speaker 6: things that really play into Drake May. 44 00:02:01,400 --> 00:02:03,480 Speaker 5: When he had time, let's sally at the end of 45 00:02:03,480 --> 00:02:06,680 Speaker 5: the game, he really made some nice plays. I mean, 46 00:02:06,800 --> 00:02:11,919 Speaker 5: look good touchdown. So I don't think it's more of 47 00:02:11,960 --> 00:02:14,839 Speaker 5: a referendum on Drake May. I think it's more how 48 00:02:14,840 --> 00:02:17,840 Speaker 5: can they get this whole offense defunc you better against 49 00:02:17,880 --> 00:02:21,160 Speaker 5: the best ian what's your takeaway on this Max Crosby story. 50 00:02:23,880 --> 00:02:25,959 Speaker 5: I'd like to see how it ends now, First of 51 00:02:26,000 --> 00:02:27,120 Speaker 5: all a couple of things. You know, I think we 52 00:02:27,200 --> 00:02:32,360 Speaker 5: all sort of wondered maybe he would get traded, you know, 53 00:02:32,440 --> 00:02:36,120 Speaker 5: in March. I'd say, for me, from my standpoint, I'd 54 00:02:36,120 --> 00:02:40,639 Speaker 5: be surprised if that was the case, just because he's 55 00:02:40,680 --> 00:02:44,240 Speaker 5: coming off a ministrous repair and that's got to heal fully. 56 00:02:44,280 --> 00:02:48,200 Speaker 5: And you know, rarely do players trade for players. Rarely 57 00:02:48,240 --> 00:02:50,640 Speaker 5: do teams trade for players who are not fully healed. 58 00:02:52,000 --> 00:02:53,960 Speaker 5: You know, usually it's at the end of a recovery 59 00:02:54,000 --> 00:02:56,320 Speaker 5: from whatever you're dealing with. So it might not be 60 00:02:56,400 --> 00:02:58,360 Speaker 5: till before the draft, it might not be till before 61 00:02:58,400 --> 00:03:01,359 Speaker 5: the season. And at that point, the question is, does 62 00:03:01,480 --> 00:03:07,639 Speaker 5: Crosby feel like the team has come around enough to 63 00:03:07,680 --> 00:03:09,160 Speaker 5: get to a point where he's like, all right, I 64 00:03:09,160 --> 00:03:11,320 Speaker 5: think we're gonna win. That's really the question. Can they 65 00:03:11,360 --> 00:03:14,320 Speaker 5: convince him to stay? It's certainly a question. 66 00:03:14,919 --> 00:03:18,080 Speaker 8: Sticking to the Raiders Ian Uh, there doesn't seem to 67 00:03:18,120 --> 00:03:22,360 Speaker 8: be a consensus opinion on Mendoza coming out of Indiana 68 00:03:23,040 --> 00:03:25,240 Speaker 8: something he'll be the first overall pick. 69 00:03:26,400 --> 00:03:27,600 Speaker 1: How are you looking at him? 70 00:03:28,560 --> 00:03:31,639 Speaker 8: Where do you fall in that that spectrum? 71 00:03:32,320 --> 00:03:36,040 Speaker 5: I don't know that. I do think, excuse me, I 72 00:03:36,120 --> 00:03:39,680 Speaker 5: do think there is a consensus. As far as him 73 00:03:39,680 --> 00:03:42,200 Speaker 5: being the number one, I feel like that's pretty strong. 74 00:03:42,320 --> 00:03:45,720 Speaker 5: So as far as like is he a star? Who knows? 75 00:03:45,840 --> 00:03:48,960 Speaker 5: I mean everyone knew that cam Word was a star 76 00:03:49,000 --> 00:03:50,640 Speaker 5: and then they had moments last year and we haven't 77 00:03:50,680 --> 00:03:52,760 Speaker 5: seen him be it yet, you know. I mean it's 78 00:03:53,600 --> 00:03:56,160 Speaker 5: it's quarterbacks tough. I mean, people could think a lot 79 00:03:56,200 --> 00:03:59,800 Speaker 5: of things. Until he goes out and plays, nobody really knows. 80 00:04:00,040 --> 00:04:03,200 Speaker 5: I think the personality is going to be interesting because 81 00:04:03,240 --> 00:04:06,600 Speaker 5: he's a little different from most sort of stoic or 82 00:04:06,640 --> 00:04:10,240 Speaker 5: maybe fiery starting quarterbacks. He's kind of emotional. He's in 83 00:04:10,280 --> 00:04:12,920 Speaker 5: his fields, you know. 84 00:04:12,960 --> 00:04:14,880 Speaker 4: I think he's the kind of guy who really says 85 00:04:14,880 --> 00:04:18,160 Speaker 4: what he thinks and cares about people and just excited 86 00:04:18,160 --> 00:04:20,960 Speaker 4: about life and just a little bit of a different aspect. 87 00:04:20,960 --> 00:04:23,279 Speaker 5: And I don't know that that's a bad thing, but 88 00:04:23,360 --> 00:04:26,000 Speaker 5: it is different. But it's just as far as overall 89 00:04:26,120 --> 00:04:29,360 Speaker 5: talent wise, I do think most people believe he's the 90 00:04:29,440 --> 00:04:30,240 Speaker 5: number one overall. 91 00:04:30,279 --> 00:04:32,840 Speaker 2: Pick all right, last one for me, Ian really appreciated. 92 00:04:32,839 --> 00:04:34,680 Speaker 2: I'm sure it was a long day for you yesterday. 93 00:04:34,720 --> 00:04:36,400 Speaker 2: Looking forward to a bit of a rest before we 94 00:04:36,440 --> 00:04:39,080 Speaker 2: get back to the combine in two weeks comes up 95 00:04:39,120 --> 00:04:39,719 Speaker 2: really fast. 96 00:04:39,839 --> 00:04:45,040 Speaker 1: But me, it gets to make sure you get your 97 00:04:45,040 --> 00:04:45,640 Speaker 1: suits pressed. 98 00:04:45,640 --> 00:04:48,080 Speaker 2: I heard some good things about your suits out there 99 00:04:48,120 --> 00:04:49,040 Speaker 2: at Radio Row. 100 00:04:49,200 --> 00:04:51,480 Speaker 5: Yeah, I was crushing it. 101 00:04:51,640 --> 00:04:53,200 Speaker 1: Good for you, that's awesome. 102 00:04:53,320 --> 00:04:56,960 Speaker 5: Yes, I got Instagram. My suits are all over Instagram. 103 00:04:57,000 --> 00:04:58,120 Speaker 5: You guys can watch and learn. 104 00:04:59,000 --> 00:05:01,240 Speaker 1: I will do, will do absolutely good plug there. 105 00:05:02,279 --> 00:05:04,680 Speaker 2: So do we feel like and then we do this 106 00:05:04,720 --> 00:05:06,799 Speaker 2: every year after a team wins the Super Bowl? 107 00:05:07,040 --> 00:05:09,520 Speaker 1: We have this all right? What does this say about 108 00:05:09,520 --> 00:05:10,760 Speaker 1: the current state of the league. 109 00:05:10,839 --> 00:05:13,200 Speaker 2: So you have a team that it was a complete team, 110 00:05:13,279 --> 00:05:16,599 Speaker 2: but certainly led a lot by their defense and just 111 00:05:16,839 --> 00:05:19,560 Speaker 2: what Michael McDonald was able to do, or Mike McDonald 112 00:05:19,560 --> 00:05:22,159 Speaker 2: was able to do sort of orchestrating that. Is this 113 00:05:22,279 --> 00:05:25,680 Speaker 2: now a lean into the defense era we're entering into 114 00:05:25,720 --> 00:05:26,280 Speaker 2: the NFL? 115 00:05:26,360 --> 00:05:27,400 Speaker 1: Or is it too soon to tell? 116 00:05:28,520 --> 00:05:31,760 Speaker 5: No, I hope it is. I mean, both those guys 117 00:05:31,800 --> 00:05:34,520 Speaker 5: were defensive coaches. Both those guys set a great foundation 118 00:05:34,680 --> 00:05:37,640 Speaker 5: by getting a team to play really good defense and 119 00:05:38,040 --> 00:05:40,080 Speaker 5: guys to the Super Bowl. I mean, you know, I'd 120 00:05:40,080 --> 00:05:43,120 Speaker 5: say the quarterbacks are good. Drake may could be really 121 00:05:43,160 --> 00:05:45,160 Speaker 5: really good. Sham donald could certainly have an. 122 00:05:45,080 --> 00:05:50,320 Speaker 6: Extremely solid more than solid career. But to me, like 123 00:05:50,960 --> 00:05:54,680 Speaker 6: I always get frustrated when you know, teams are trying 124 00:05:54,680 --> 00:05:56,760 Speaker 6: to hire a head coach and did just find the best. 125 00:05:56,480 --> 00:05:58,800 Speaker 5: Young offensive coordinator they can find? Like, all right, we 126 00:05:58,839 --> 00:06:01,320 Speaker 5: got a guy like, that's not really what this about. 127 00:06:01,320 --> 00:06:04,240 Speaker 5: Like Sean Payton is a very good offensive mine, one 128 00:06:04,240 --> 00:06:06,480 Speaker 5: of the best of the last twenty years, and I 129 00:06:06,520 --> 00:06:09,200 Speaker 5: would argue that that's not why he's a great head coach. 130 00:06:09,520 --> 00:06:11,560 Speaker 5: I would argue that he's a great head coach because 131 00:06:11,600 --> 00:06:14,680 Speaker 5: he is an a plus leader and setting the foundation 132 00:06:14,800 --> 00:06:18,000 Speaker 5: and culture of an organization. That's what he who also 133 00:06:18,240 --> 00:06:21,400 Speaker 5: you know, also happens to be an offensive guy. That's 134 00:06:21,440 --> 00:06:23,520 Speaker 5: what more teams should look for rather than looking for 135 00:06:23,560 --> 00:06:25,159 Speaker 5: someone who's like a pretty good play caller. 136 00:06:25,640 --> 00:06:27,360 Speaker 1: No, I mean, I think that's exactly right. 137 00:06:27,560 --> 00:06:30,120 Speaker 2: And I do think that it opens the door for 138 00:06:30,200 --> 00:06:33,320 Speaker 2: possibility of teams leaning in to the defensive play caller, 139 00:06:33,400 --> 00:06:36,240 Speaker 2: especially if they're kind of on the level of say 140 00:06:36,279 --> 00:06:38,960 Speaker 2: Sean McVay, because I think Mike McDonald has has kind 141 00:06:39,000 --> 00:06:40,839 Speaker 2: of put that out there. I think we're talking about 142 00:06:40,839 --> 00:06:42,839 Speaker 2: a guy that is a virtuals when it comes to 143 00:06:42,880 --> 00:06:43,719 Speaker 2: calling defenses. 144 00:06:44,680 --> 00:06:47,120 Speaker 3: I agree, but I would also say, like there are 145 00:06:47,320 --> 00:06:50,920 Speaker 3: great defensive coordinators who still have to fight to get 146 00:06:50,960 --> 00:06:53,960 Speaker 3: a chance, like Vance Joseph and you know, with you 147 00:06:54,000 --> 00:06:56,720 Speaker 3: guys is a great example, Like why was he not 148 00:06:56,760 --> 00:06:58,520 Speaker 3: a head coach this year? What else did he need 149 00:06:58,560 --> 00:07:00,880 Speaker 3: to show as a coordinator? He's a really good leader 150 00:07:00,880 --> 00:07:03,679 Speaker 3: who's got total buying from his players, Like what else 151 00:07:03,760 --> 00:07:04,880 Speaker 3: are you looking for? 152 00:07:05,760 --> 00:07:08,719 Speaker 5: And I think that's sort of my gripe in this 153 00:07:08,800 --> 00:07:11,120 Speaker 5: whole thing, is like not saying anything about anyone that 154 00:07:11,240 --> 00:07:13,960 Speaker 5: was hired, but like Vance didn't get a job, and 155 00:07:14,080 --> 00:07:17,120 Speaker 5: like what did you not see? And that's what you know, 156 00:07:17,280 --> 00:07:18,640 Speaker 5: That's sort of what I'm frustrated with. 157 00:07:18,720 --> 00:07:19,560 Speaker 1: Yeah, perfectly said. 158 00:07:19,600 --> 00:07:22,560 Speaker 2: All right, enjoy a little bit of a respite and man, 159 00:07:22,640 --> 00:07:24,600 Speaker 2: we'll check in with you next week and excited about 160 00:07:24,640 --> 00:07:25,920 Speaker 2: the combine in two weeks. 161 00:07:25,920 --> 00:07:26,800 Speaker 1: Can't we see the suits? 162 00:07:28,000 --> 00:07:28,320 Speaker 5: All right? 163 00:07:29,040 --> 00:07:29,600 Speaker 8: Yeah? 164 00:07:29,680 --> 00:07:32,160 Speaker 1: All right, appreciate it. Rapport always good.
