Speaker 3: to talk to all the different teams, you know, head coaches,

15
00:00:52,880 --> 00:00:55,280
Speaker 3: GM's and I only just talk to them, but you

16
00:00:55,280 --> 00:00:58,200
Speaker 3: don't get to know them as people. And also to

17
00:00:58,200 --> 00:01:00,520
Speaker 3: showcase my talent, you know, in that stage, you know,

18
00:01:00,600 --> 00:01:03,240
Speaker 3: it was it was really fun to be able to

19
00:01:03,240 --> 00:01:04,920
Speaker 3: go out there and compete. You know, I did every

20
00:01:04,959 --> 00:01:08,280
Speaker 3: single test at the combine, and I just wanted to

21
00:01:08,319 --> 00:01:11,480
Speaker 3: show the type of competitor I was, you know, no

22
00:01:11,520 --> 00:01:14,240
Speaker 3: matter how fatigue I was. I was out there doing

23
00:01:14,280 --> 00:01:17,000
Speaker 3: every single test and also just trying to you know,

24
00:01:17,040 --> 00:01:18,960
Speaker 3: showcase my talent and show incase who I am as

25
00:01:19,000 --> 00:01:21,200
Speaker 3: a person of these coaches. So it was definitely a

26
00:01:21,240 --> 00:01:23,000
Speaker 3: blessing man, something that I'm going to remember for the

27
00:01:23,040 --> 00:01:23,759
Speaker 3: rest of my life.

28
00:01:24,160 --> 00:01:27,679
Speaker 1: What if you can remember or even know, But like,

29
00:01:27,760 --> 00:01:29,760
Speaker 1: how many teams did you meet with? Did did you

30
00:01:29,800 --> 00:01:31,200
Speaker 1: meet with more than half the league?

31
00:01:32,240 --> 00:01:34,959
Speaker 3: Yes, sir, I met with a little bit over twenty teams,

32
00:01:34,959 --> 00:01:38,080
Speaker 3: So I was like twenty three twenty four teams total

33
00:01:38,120 --> 00:01:40,120
Speaker 3: at the combine. You know, I had six formals and

34
00:01:40,120 --> 00:01:42,479
Speaker 3: then you know, I met informally with a lot of teams,

35
00:01:42,480 --> 00:01:45,560
Speaker 3: So I'll say, you know a little bit over twenty teams.

36
00:01:45,880 --> 00:01:49,760
Speaker 1: What kinds of questions do they ask? Is it all

37
00:01:49,800 --> 00:01:53,080
Speaker 1: football or like do they get into your personal life?

38
00:01:53,080 --> 00:01:55,800
Speaker 1: What's the approach by most teams?

39
00:01:56,720 --> 00:01:59,400
Speaker 3: Yes, we talk. They talk a lot about personal life.

40
00:02:00,040 --> 00:02:01,520
Speaker 3: They want to get to know you as a person.

41
00:02:02,120 --> 00:02:04,480
Speaker 3: You know, I feel like most of them know, you know,

42
00:02:04,520 --> 00:02:06,800
Speaker 3: what they're getting as a football player off of watching

43
00:02:06,880 --> 00:02:09,040
Speaker 3: film and things like that, but they want to know

44
00:02:09,040 --> 00:02:11,160
Speaker 3: what type of player that they're bringing into their program.

45
00:02:11,280 --> 00:02:13,680
Speaker 3: And I got a lot of good feedback, you know,

46
00:02:13,720 --> 00:02:16,280
Speaker 3: with that, and also just being able to tell them,

47
00:02:16,320 --> 00:02:18,720
Speaker 3: tell them my life story, you know, and how I

48
00:02:18,760 --> 00:02:20,440
Speaker 3: have to earn everything that I've gotten, you know, I've

49
00:02:20,440 --> 00:02:23,440
Speaker 3: been overlooked my whole life. And just explaining to them that,

50
00:02:23,560 --> 00:02:25,640
Speaker 3: you know, a man a lot for me just because

51
00:02:26,040 --> 00:02:27,720
Speaker 3: of my path and you know what it took for

52
00:02:27,760 --> 00:02:29,839
Speaker 3: me to get here. So I think them understanding that

53
00:02:30,200 --> 00:02:32,080
Speaker 3: will help them realize, you know, why I play the

54
00:02:32,080 --> 00:02:33,799
Speaker 3: way that I play on the football field.

55
00:02:34,160 --> 00:02:37,840
Speaker 1: Share, emma, share, share with me and us what just

56
00:02:37,840 --> 00:02:40,640
Speaker 1: just quickly what that path was like? Like you know

57
00:02:40,720 --> 00:02:43,480
Speaker 1: you've said it before to me off the microphone on

58
00:02:43,600 --> 00:02:47,160
Speaker 1: the microphone, but I've never really asked you pointedly like this,

59
00:02:47,280 --> 00:02:50,720
Speaker 1: but like that, that that underdog type path. What what

60
00:02:50,800 --> 00:02:51,600
Speaker 1: was it like for you?

61
00:02:53,040 --> 00:02:54,840
Speaker 3: Man? It was super tough, you know. I would just

62
00:02:54,880 --> 00:02:57,680
Speaker 3: say growing up, you know, in the city in Minneapolis, Minnesota,

63
00:02:57,760 --> 00:03:00,519
Speaker 3: Like in high school, I was super under recruited and

64
00:03:00,520 --> 00:03:02,640
Speaker 3: I would always go to these football camps. I went

65
00:03:02,680 --> 00:03:05,200
Speaker 3: to five different camps my senior year. Uh, and I

66
00:03:05,240 --> 00:03:07,760
Speaker 3: would always just be trying to get my name out there. Man.

67
00:03:07,919 --> 00:03:10,400
Speaker 3: It's crazy right now, if I go on Twitter. I

68
00:03:10,480 --> 00:03:13,280
Speaker 3: guarantee there's you know, hundreds of text messages that I

69
00:03:13,320 --> 00:03:16,600
Speaker 3: sent to coaches and just I was just sending my

70
00:03:16,680 --> 00:03:19,160
Speaker 3: film to them, and uh, I'm just trying to get

71
00:03:19,200 --> 00:03:22,080
Speaker 3: noticed by by schools and different things like that. And

72
00:03:22,120 --> 00:03:24,520
Speaker 3: so that process is tough. Man. It's a lot of

73
00:03:24,960 --> 00:03:28,480
Speaker 3: hard days, a lot of you know, mental mental days

74
00:03:28,480 --> 00:03:32,959
Speaker 3: where things shill really really hard and I just have

75
00:03:33,040 --> 00:03:35,560
Speaker 3: to like overcome that and just show them the type

76
00:03:35,560 --> 00:03:36,400
Speaker 3: of player that I was.

77
00:03:36,520 --> 00:03:36,720
Speaker 1: Man.

78
00:03:36,760 --> 00:03:38,640
Speaker 3: So it was a lot of that type of stuff,

79
00:03:38,680 --> 00:03:41,320
Speaker 3: you know, than getting into college and also having to

80
00:03:41,360 --> 00:03:43,640
Speaker 3: breask be my only car five and then not not

81
00:03:43,800 --> 00:03:46,360
Speaker 3: playing in college. Man, it's like my whole black people

82
00:03:46,360 --> 00:03:48,680
Speaker 3: told me, you know, I wasn't good enough or wasn't

83
00:03:48,680 --> 00:03:50,640
Speaker 3: able to do this, or wasn't able to do that,

84
00:03:50,680 --> 00:03:52,960
Speaker 3: and I just over I always overcame it because I

85
00:03:53,640 --> 00:03:56,040
Speaker 3: worked everybody. And so I feel like my my Jerry

86
00:03:56,120 --> 00:03:58,800
Speaker 3: is just hard work paying off. Now That's what's gopped

87
00:03:58,800 --> 00:03:59,360
Speaker 3: me to this point.

88
00:03:59,720 --> 00:04:01,800
Speaker 1: John him now he's going to be drafted in a

89
00:04:01,840 --> 00:04:04,840
Speaker 1: month and change in the NFL Draft. Played in Nebraska

90
00:04:05,080 --> 00:04:06,880
Speaker 1: and let the Big ten and rushing. He's on the

91
00:04:06,960 --> 00:04:09,880
Speaker 1: nine to Noon Show. He's he's a Minnesotan, and speaking

92
00:04:09,920 --> 00:04:11,440
Speaker 1: of Minnesota.

93
00:04:11,240 --> 00:04:12,080
Speaker 2: At the Combine.

94
00:04:12,160 --> 00:04:15,480
Speaker 1: Right before I left that there was a report that

95
00:04:15,560 --> 00:04:18,599
Speaker 1: one of your earliest meetings at the Combine was with

96
00:04:18,680 --> 00:04:22,880
Speaker 1: the Minnesota Vikings. So with with without getting into the particulars,

97
00:04:24,160 --> 00:04:26,160
Speaker 1: do you feel you knocked that one out of the park,

98
00:04:26,240 --> 00:04:28,239
Speaker 1: because I know it's your favorite team.

99
00:04:30,279 --> 00:04:32,839
Speaker 3: Yeah, man, I definitely feel that one. Man, I would say,

100
00:04:33,200 --> 00:04:34,839
Speaker 3: you know, that was one of them. I got some

101
00:04:34,880 --> 00:04:37,400
Speaker 3: good feedback, you know, and that was I think they're

102
00:04:37,760 --> 00:04:39,719
Speaker 3: you know, probably one of their best interviews at the

103
00:04:39,720 --> 00:04:42,880
Speaker 3: whole cobo based off of what the feedback I've gotten.

104
00:04:43,040 --> 00:04:45,400
Speaker 3: So yeah, man, that was a special one. You know,

105
00:04:45,560 --> 00:04:48,120
Speaker 3: just be able to talk to the coaches. Like I said,

106
00:04:48,120 --> 00:04:50,600
Speaker 3: I've watched the Viking growing up. I got a lot

107
00:04:50,600 --> 00:04:53,400
Speaker 3: of respect for O'Connell, you know what he's doing. And

108
00:04:53,520 --> 00:04:55,880
Speaker 3: also on the defensive side of things, you know, you know,

109
00:04:56,080 --> 00:04:59,719
Speaker 3: be slow and so it's definitely, you know, it's like

110
00:04:59,760 --> 00:05:02,240
Speaker 3: a circle moment to be able to be talking to

111
00:05:02,360 --> 00:05:04,559
Speaker 3: Minnesota Vikings. Man. Like I said, I grew up watching

112
00:05:04,560 --> 00:05:07,000
Speaker 3: Adrian Peterson play there, and you know a whole bunch

113
00:05:07,040 --> 00:05:09,719
Speaker 3: of other players, you know, Percy Harvin, and so like

114
00:05:09,920 --> 00:05:12,040
Speaker 3: being able to talk to them. Man, it's a blessing.

115
00:05:12,240 --> 00:05:14,640
Speaker 3: Like when I got into that room in front of

116
00:05:14,640 --> 00:05:17,520
Speaker 3: all the coaches and you know, things like that, it

117
00:05:17,600 --> 00:05:20,600
Speaker 3: was definitely something I'll cherish forever. Like I said, it

118
00:05:20,680 --> 00:05:23,120
Speaker 3: was a special feeling. I know God got a plan

119
00:05:23,160 --> 00:05:24,680
Speaker 3: for me, you know, whether if that's going back to

120
00:05:24,720 --> 00:05:27,360
Speaker 3: Minnesota to go anywhere else, but you know, it would

121
00:05:27,360 --> 00:05:30,960
Speaker 3: definitely be really really special to come back home for sure. EJ.

122
00:05:31,560 --> 00:05:34,520
Speaker 1: Had you met Kevin O'Connell before that meeting at the

123
00:05:34,600 --> 00:05:37,599
Speaker 1: j dubb and from what you know, from what you've seen,

124
00:05:37,920 --> 00:05:40,039
Speaker 1: maybe not looking at a lot of bal twenty two yet,

125
00:05:40,040 --> 00:05:41,640
Speaker 1: but like what do you think of his offense?

126
00:05:43,480 --> 00:05:47,719
Speaker 3: Yeah? Man, I haven't met him like face to face

127
00:05:48,000 --> 00:05:50,440
Speaker 3: before that, and I want a couple, you know, I

128
00:05:50,440 --> 00:05:52,200
Speaker 3: want a couple of games and things and I've seen

129
00:05:52,279 --> 00:05:54,640
Speaker 3: them but never really met him face to face. But

130
00:05:54,720 --> 00:05:56,560
Speaker 3: I have a lot of respect, you know, for him

131
00:05:57,040 --> 00:05:59,200
Speaker 3: and what he do is does on offense, and I

132
00:05:59,200 --> 00:06:01,919
Speaker 3: feel like my skill set is something that you know,

133
00:06:01,960 --> 00:06:04,440
Speaker 3: he would definitely love. But I just know O'Connor is

134
00:06:04,480 --> 00:06:06,719
Speaker 3: a really smart, sorry minded guy when it comes to

135
00:06:06,760 --> 00:06:08,880
Speaker 3: an offense, and you know, he definitely want to be

136
00:06:08,920 --> 00:06:11,240
Speaker 3: playing for a coach like that because he's definitely going

137
00:06:11,279 --> 00:06:13,440
Speaker 3: to put me in a position to be successful. And

138
00:06:13,520 --> 00:06:15,880
Speaker 3: I think I'm a type of player, you know that

139
00:06:15,880 --> 00:06:17,919
Speaker 3: that will come in and be ready to dominate, and

140
00:06:18,000 --> 00:06:20,480
Speaker 3: he would love, you know, to give me the ball

141
00:06:20,600 --> 00:06:23,040
Speaker 3: in space and also in between the tackles also of

142
00:06:23,040 --> 00:06:24,760
Speaker 3: them were running routes like I feel like I can

143
00:06:24,760 --> 00:06:27,000
Speaker 3: get the ball in different ways and just be super

144
00:06:27,000 --> 00:06:28,479
Speaker 3: explosive for the for the offense.

145
00:06:28,920 --> 00:06:29,160
Speaker 2: Uh.

146
00:06:30,120 --> 00:06:34,159
Speaker 1: Is Indianapolis all business all the time? Or like do

147
00:06:34,200 --> 00:06:37,800
Speaker 1: you get a chance to go to Saint almost steakouts?

148
00:06:38,320 --> 00:06:41,559
Speaker 3: Uh? For me, it was really tempting, but I didn't

149
00:06:41,680 --> 00:06:43,240
Speaker 3: you know, I didn't do any of that until after

150
00:06:43,279 --> 00:06:46,600
Speaker 3: the combine. Yeah, and so it was really hard, man,

151
00:06:46,600 --> 00:06:49,159
Speaker 3: Like I said, you know, staying on a on a

152
00:06:49,200 --> 00:06:51,560
Speaker 3: meal plan and eating the right things and but all

153
00:06:51,600 --> 00:06:53,400
Speaker 3: that stuff helps the performance, and I feel like that's

154
00:06:53,400 --> 00:06:56,719
Speaker 3: important to me. So that's something definitely it's a sacrifice,

155
00:06:56,720 --> 00:06:59,359
Speaker 3: but you know it's it's definitely for the greater. But

156
00:06:59,440 --> 00:07:02,200
Speaker 3: I did definitely go give me a steak after the

157
00:07:02,240 --> 00:07:03,400
Speaker 3: combine for sure.

158
00:07:03,839 --> 00:07:06,400
Speaker 2: So like when you say, and I mean your rip, man,

159
00:07:06,440 --> 00:07:06,880
Speaker 2: you're cut.

160
00:07:06,920 --> 00:07:09,720
Speaker 1: You're you're very physically fit and and really you always

161
00:07:09,720 --> 00:07:12,880
Speaker 1: have been, so like staying on a meal plan, what

162
00:07:12,880 --> 00:07:13,520
Speaker 1: what is that?

163
00:07:13,640 --> 00:07:13,760
Speaker 3: Like?

164
00:07:13,800 --> 00:07:16,640
Speaker 2: What comprises your meals during the day.

165
00:07:18,160 --> 00:07:23,360
Speaker 3: Yeah, I definitely said, I drink a lot of nutrition shakes,

166
00:07:23,400 --> 00:07:24,880
Speaker 3: you know, throughout the day. I like to snack on

167
00:07:25,000 --> 00:07:28,720
Speaker 3: things like peanut butter and Jemmy sandwiches. There's a lot

168
00:07:28,720 --> 00:07:31,480
Speaker 3: of that type of stuff, a lot of vegetables, you know,

169
00:07:31,520 --> 00:07:34,600
Speaker 3: a lot of protein, you know, chicken steak, rice. Yeah,

170
00:07:34,960 --> 00:07:36,720
Speaker 3: those are things that I'm eating, you know, on a

171
00:07:36,800 --> 00:07:39,320
Speaker 3: daily and then just like you know, like I said,

172
00:07:39,320 --> 00:07:41,760
Speaker 3: the protein shakes and then also just the training. I

173
00:07:41,760 --> 00:07:44,920
Speaker 3: feel like once you have the right nutrition and you

174
00:07:45,360 --> 00:07:47,800
Speaker 3: try and train super super hard to get out what

175
00:07:47,880 --> 00:07:50,080
Speaker 3: you put into it, you know how to coach uh

176
00:07:50,240 --> 00:07:53,120
Speaker 3: named Coach Brown and Nebraska who we talked a lot,

177
00:07:53,240 --> 00:07:55,320
Speaker 3: you know, throughout my career, and he definitely would tell

178
00:07:55,360 --> 00:07:56,960
Speaker 3: me to treat your life like a sponge. You know,

179
00:07:57,040 --> 00:07:59,720
Speaker 3: like if you pour you know, apple juice into a sponge,

180
00:07:59,760 --> 00:08:01,760
Speaker 3: you know it's not going to be orange juice that

181
00:08:01,800 --> 00:08:02,960
Speaker 3: comes out of it. You know, it's going to be

182
00:08:03,000 --> 00:08:04,640
Speaker 3: apple juice because that's what you put into it. So

183
00:08:04,720 --> 00:08:07,600
Speaker 3: for me, my mindset has always been, you know, you

184
00:08:07,640 --> 00:08:09,320
Speaker 3: get out what you put into it, and so for me,

185
00:08:09,440 --> 00:08:11,200
Speaker 3: I've tried to make the most out of it, and

186
00:08:11,520 --> 00:08:14,200
Speaker 3: I've definitely seen the improvements in my body. While getting faster,

187
00:08:14,360 --> 00:08:16,840
Speaker 3: I still, you know, was able to get stronger and

188
00:08:17,320 --> 00:08:20,080
Speaker 3: you know game or way too as well. So it's

189
00:08:20,080 --> 00:08:22,280
Speaker 3: a hard balance, but that's definitely something I take serious.

190
00:08:22,520 --> 00:08:26,760
Speaker 1: Well, if peanut butter and jelly is your snack of choice,

191
00:08:26,480 --> 00:08:29,360
Speaker 1: I can't speak for Lincoln and I can't speak for

192
00:08:29,440 --> 00:08:32,000
Speaker 1: the other thirty one NFL teams, but I can tell

193
00:08:32,000 --> 00:08:34,960
Speaker 1: you right now, this guy me, I mean, I'll gain

194
00:08:35,040 --> 00:08:37,600
Speaker 1: five pounds during the football season because all they have.

195
00:08:37,760 --> 00:08:41,520
Speaker 1: They have so many uncrustables around the Viking's facility.

196
00:08:41,520 --> 00:08:42,920
Speaker 2: Do you like uncrustables?

197
00:08:43,559 --> 00:08:45,840
Speaker 3: Yeah, that's that's what I'll be eating right there. Anything custible,

198
00:08:45,880 --> 00:08:47,360
Speaker 3: that's my goal to right FORX.

199
00:08:47,800 --> 00:08:50,280
Speaker 1: Do you have a favorite because like like in the stores,

Speaker 2: Don't know if you can order it online.

202
00:08:52,559 --> 00:08:54,560
Speaker 1: But for the second half of the season a couple

203
00:08:54,600 --> 00:08:58,240
Speaker 1: of years ago, they had these honey uncrustables. All right,

204
00:08:58,520 --> 00:09:01,840
Speaker 1: so honey with peanut butter. Oh, they were unbelievable. But

205
00:09:02,240 --> 00:09:05,359
Speaker 1: I mean I sprouted a fourth chin, so portunately, we

206
00:09:05,360 --> 00:09:06,600
Speaker 1: we can't find him anymore.

207
00:09:06,600 --> 00:09:07,600
Speaker 2: But have you ever had those?

208
00:09:09,240 --> 00:09:11,480
Speaker 3: Oh? No, I've definitely, I've never tried that. I've always

209
00:09:11,520 --> 00:09:14,960
Speaker 3: had the Great Jellyers. That's my go to, So like,

210
00:09:15,880 --> 00:09:18,240
Speaker 3: definitely something I would try, you know, but I definitely

Speaker 3: love the That's my go to is the Great Jelly.

212
00:09:21,120 --> 00:09:23,040
Speaker 3: I feel like that's undefeated. That's that's the best one

213
00:09:23,040 --> 00:09:23,280
Speaker 3: for me.

214
00:09:23,440 --> 00:09:25,640
Speaker 1: Yeah, we might have to lay out those uncrustables until

215
00:09:25,679 --> 00:09:26,520
Speaker 1: the draft is done.

216
00:09:26,679 --> 00:09:26,800
Speaker 3: Uh.

217
00:09:28,120 --> 00:09:31,720
Speaker 1: Emma Johnson, Nebraska running back. You and I don't have

218
00:09:31,760 --> 00:09:33,000
Speaker 1: this in front of me. I know you led the

219
00:09:33,000 --> 00:09:35,439
Speaker 1: Big ten and rushing yards, but did you lead the

220
00:09:35,559 --> 00:09:36,960
Speaker 1: nation in all purpose yards?

221
00:09:37,840 --> 00:09:39,960
Speaker 3: That's fair? I did. I did the nation in all

222
00:09:40,000 --> 00:09:40,680
Speaker 3: purpose yards.

223
00:09:41,280 --> 00:09:42,040
Speaker 2: Who's your agent?

224
00:09:43,440 --> 00:09:47,520
Speaker 3: Uh, DESA McCary. And he's he's he's been. Like I said,

225
00:09:47,559 --> 00:09:50,000
Speaker 3: he's a legend in the game. Man. He's somebody who

226
00:09:50,640 --> 00:09:52,760
Speaker 3: you know, I have a lot of respect for it. Man.

227
00:09:52,800 --> 00:09:55,400
Speaker 3: He he's more than just an agent. Somebody cares about

228
00:09:55,440 --> 00:09:58,000
Speaker 3: you as a person. You know, it's bigger than just football.

229
00:09:58,000 --> 00:10:00,480
Speaker 3: And he's had a good history of you know, running

230
00:10:00,480 --> 00:10:02,280
Speaker 3: backs and so I'm definitely in good hands with him.

231
00:10:02,320 --> 00:10:05,040
Speaker 3: And like I said, man, it just makes my job

232
00:10:05,120 --> 00:10:07,080
Speaker 3: easy to go out there and dominate and be myself.

233
00:10:07,600 --> 00:10:11,800
Speaker 1: So so what what what's your role? What's the agent's

234
00:10:11,920 --> 00:10:16,200
Speaker 1: role in the equation for you? Representing you this time

235
00:10:16,240 --> 00:10:18,199
Speaker 1: of the year up to the draft? Like what does

236
00:10:18,200 --> 00:10:18,800
Speaker 1: an agent do?

237
00:10:20,240 --> 00:10:23,160
Speaker 3: Yes, sir, So the agents, you know, constantly in contact

238
00:10:23,160 --> 00:10:26,160
Speaker 3: with you know, NFL teams, NFO scouts and coaches, and

239
00:10:26,720 --> 00:10:28,880
Speaker 3: also not just that, but every aspect of my life,

240
00:10:28,920 --> 00:10:31,080
Speaker 3: you know, when it comes to things like you know,

241
00:10:31,200 --> 00:10:34,240
Speaker 3: endorsement deals or people are reaching out to me, you know,

242
00:10:34,320 --> 00:10:37,440
Speaker 3: those type of conversations that uh, it will take a

243
00:10:37,440 --> 00:10:39,040
Speaker 3: lot a lot of time out of my day, is

244
00:10:39,440 --> 00:10:41,440
Speaker 3: what he does. And so he talks to you know,

245
00:10:41,480 --> 00:10:44,080
Speaker 3: different teams about me, gets feedback on things. You know,

246
00:10:44,200 --> 00:10:46,959
Speaker 3: Let's say a team wants to see me do something

247
00:10:47,200 --> 00:10:49,760
Speaker 3: or work on something, He'll probably get that back to me.

248
00:10:49,800 --> 00:10:53,240
Speaker 3: And then also the positives from like the interviews I've done.

249
00:10:53,280 --> 00:10:55,800
Speaker 3: He's been able to tell me things like that. And

250
00:10:55,800 --> 00:10:58,600
Speaker 3: then also just like set up you know, different meetings

251
00:10:58,679 --> 00:11:01,160
Speaker 3: and have an affect scheduled me. Like right now, I'm

252
00:11:01,160 --> 00:11:02,920
Speaker 3: currently meeting with a lot of different teams, and so

253
00:11:03,600 --> 00:11:06,040
Speaker 3: just like having the right timeline on you know, what

254
00:11:06,320 --> 00:11:07,880
Speaker 3: day am I meeting with this team, what time I'm

255
00:11:07,880 --> 00:11:09,839
Speaker 3: me on this team, and just being structured with it all.

256
00:11:09,920 --> 00:11:12,080

257
00:11:12,120 --> 00:11:14,000
Speaker 3: you know, throughout throughout the house and the downs.

258
00:11:14,080 --> 00:11:15,439
Speaker 2: Well that's that's fantastic.

259
00:11:15,480 --> 00:11:17,079
Speaker 1: And you know that that's something that a lot of

260
00:11:17,120 --> 00:11:19,440
Speaker 1: people don't know is that you'll have those meetings at

261
00:11:19,440 --> 00:11:23,280
Speaker 1: the j W. Marriott in Indianapolis, You'll do the drills,

262
00:11:23,400 --> 00:11:25,920
Speaker 1: you got your pro day coming up and then the draft.

263
00:11:26,080 --> 00:11:29,160
Speaker 1: But in between, uh that there are a fair amount

264
00:11:29,200 --> 00:11:31,720
Speaker 1: of meetings and even some second and third meetings with

265
00:11:31,840 --> 00:11:33,439
Speaker 1: teams that really nobody knows about.

266
00:11:33,480 --> 00:11:36,800
Speaker 3: Right, Yeah, there's a lot of meetings. There's a lot

267
00:11:36,800 --> 00:11:39,440
Speaker 3: of meanings that like I said, the common man, you

268
00:11:39,440 --> 00:11:41,920
Speaker 3: couldn't really walk somewhere in Costina coach or a scout.

269
00:11:42,000 --> 00:11:44,240
Speaker 3: So right, it was definitely like, you know, a lot

270
00:11:44,280 --> 00:11:46,880
Speaker 3: of opportunities to connect with people, and you know, any

271
00:11:46,960 --> 00:11:49,240
Speaker 3: chance at a scout the coach gets to get information

272
00:11:49,320 --> 00:11:51,440
Speaker 3: and get to know you more. You know, they definitely

273
00:11:51,480 --> 00:11:52,120
Speaker 3: take that approach.

274
00:11:52,160 --> 00:11:56,080

295
00:12:49,520 --> 00:12:51,320
Speaker 3: tough Minnesota lost, but it was good to see him

296
00:12:51,360 --> 00:12:53,680
Speaker 3: out there playing. You know, he's dealt with some things

297
00:12:53,720 --> 00:12:55,800
Speaker 3: in the past, like injuries, so just to see him

298
00:12:56,280 --> 00:12:58,360

00:13:15,080 --> 00:13:16,960
Speaker 1: last night in South Beach.

307
00:13:17,040 --> 00:13:18,000

00:13:23,559 --> 00:13:26,920
Speaker 3: against the Pistons, and so it was just like the game.

311
00:13:27,040 --> 00:13:28,959
Speaker 3: I didn't go to this man drop eighty three. It

312
00:13:29,000 --> 00:13:31,120
Speaker 3: would have been crazy to witness in person. But I

313
00:13:31,160 --> 00:13:33,520
Speaker 3: think you know, they play the Lakers tomorrow night too,

314
00:13:33,520 --> 00:13:36,040
Speaker 3: so I'm thinking about going to that one. But if not, man,

315
00:13:36,080 --> 00:13:38,120
Speaker 3: I'll definitely want to catch a playoff game or something

316
00:13:38,160 --> 00:13:40,480
Speaker 3: in Minnesota. You know, if we get some time, that

317
00:13:40,520 --> 00:13:42,040
Speaker 3: would be the game we could definitely go watch.

318
00:13:43,000 --> 00:13:43,760
Speaker 2: I'll take care of that.

319
00:13:44,080 --> 00:13:46,880
Speaker 1: When you were at the combine, did you happen to

320
00:13:46,920 --> 00:13:50,120
Speaker 1: meet a man named Bucky Brooks with NFL Network? And

321
00:13:50,160 --> 00:13:54,120
Speaker 1: I asked, because Bucky ranked you as the second best

322
00:13:54,200 --> 00:13:57,400
Speaker 1: running back out of all of them after the combine,

323
00:13:57,800 --> 00:13:59,960
Speaker 1: which I think is pretty cool. And I know you

324
00:14:00,000 --> 00:14:02,640
Speaker 1: you're super competitive man, and you're like, Okay, well that's cool,

325
00:14:02,640 --> 00:14:05,560
Speaker 1: but I'm the best running back coming into the draft.

326
00:14:05,559 --> 00:14:08,400
Speaker 1: But nevertheless, at NFL dot Com, man, you know when

327
00:14:08,440 --> 00:14:11,200
Speaker 1: when when you're second behind a guy who might go

328
00:14:11,240 --> 00:14:13,320
Speaker 1: in the top ten, top fifteen, that's pretty cool.

329
00:14:14,720 --> 00:14:17,679
Speaker 3: Yes, sir, man, I wasn't able to meet him while physically,

330
00:14:18,360 --> 00:14:20,360
Speaker 3: but I definitely did see that. And like I said,

331
00:14:20,720 --> 00:14:22,400
Speaker 3: you know, it's cool to y'all, but you know, my

332
00:14:22,480 --> 00:14:24,600
Speaker 3: eyes on top two and I'm not too and I

333
00:14:24,600 --> 00:14:26,480
Speaker 3: got respect for other players and stuff like that, so

334
00:14:26,560 --> 00:14:28,920
Speaker 3: I'm not really going to get into that, but yeah, man,

335
00:14:28,960 --> 00:14:30,560
Speaker 3: it's a blessing. You can see my name on there.

336
00:14:30,560 --> 00:14:32,600
Speaker 3: Like I said, I've overcame a lot of things. I

337
00:14:32,640 --> 00:14:35,200
Speaker 3: don't think I was ranked, you know, outside the top

338
00:14:35,200 --> 00:14:37,760
Speaker 3: twenty running backs coming into college football season. I don't

339
00:14:37,760 --> 00:14:40,000
Speaker 3: think I was ranked top ten in the Big ten. So,

340
00:14:40,480 --> 00:14:43,360
Speaker 3: like I said, I just been proving people, you know, wrong,

341
00:14:43,440 --> 00:14:46,080
Speaker 3: my whole life. And that's just another part of my chapter.

342
00:14:46,160 --> 00:14:48,000
Speaker 3: Like when I get to the NFL, you guys will see, Man,

343
00:14:48,000 --> 00:14:50,040
Speaker 3: I'm not just trying to be another player there. I'm

344
00:14:50,040 --> 00:14:51,400
Speaker 3: trying to be the best to ever play the game.

345
00:14:51,440 --> 00:14:54,880
Speaker 3: Like I'm trying to dominate. And so the competitive standpoint, like,

346
00:14:55,520 --> 00:14:57,440
Speaker 3: it's something that's instilled in me and I'm never going

347
00:14:57,520 --> 00:14:59,800
Speaker 3: to lose that my whole life. So I'm definitely ready

348
00:14:59,840 --> 00:15:03,320
Speaker 3: to dominated the NFL. Whatever team gets heat, I promise

349
00:15:03,360 --> 00:15:04,320
Speaker 3: you guys won't regret it.

350
00:15:04,440 --> 00:15:09,040
Speaker 1: Who who's this Mike Washington Junior from Arkansas? And the

351
00:15:09,080 --> 00:15:12,080
Speaker 1: reason I asked is he ran a four three forty

352
00:15:12,200 --> 00:15:14,160
Speaker 1: and and that was best of all the running backs.

353
00:15:14,160 --> 00:15:16,400
Speaker 1: What uh what do we need to know about Mike

354
00:15:16,520 --> 00:15:17,920
Speaker 1: Washington Junior? Who's he?

355
00:15:19,120 --> 00:15:21,480
Speaker 3: Yeah, sir, he had a great he had a great combine.

356
00:15:21,480 --> 00:15:24,920
Speaker 3: Man first sized definitely too. Man, he was really explosive

357
00:15:24,960 --> 00:15:27,240
Speaker 3: out there and things like that. You know, I've watched

358
00:15:27,240 --> 00:15:30,000
Speaker 3: some of NH film and things like that. Either file

359
00:15:30,040 --> 00:15:31,680
Speaker 3: of the player man he played really well is here

360
00:15:31,680 --> 00:15:33,640
Speaker 3: at Arkansas. You know, I got a lot of respect

361
00:15:34,240 --> 00:15:36,960
Speaker 3: following guys who they played well and so yeah, he's

362
00:15:37,000 --> 00:15:39,080
Speaker 3: somebody I got to meet, you know, over the whole week.

363
00:15:39,160 --> 00:15:41,640
Speaker 3: You know, he's a solid, solid person, a good person

364
00:15:41,640 --> 00:15:44,280
Speaker 3: to talk to. So yeah, I'm really excited for him too,

365
00:15:44,320 --> 00:15:46,640
Speaker 3: and you know, hope he has success in his future.

366
00:15:46,760 --> 00:15:49,640
Speaker 1: Well you you Emma Johnson nine to noon, just a

367
00:15:49,640 --> 00:15:52,920
Speaker 1: few to close here. Uh yeah. And and you know,

368
00:15:53,000 --> 00:15:55,480
Speaker 1: this is super key, man, And and it's good to

369
00:15:55,560 --> 00:15:58,400
Speaker 1: know that you naturally and authentically are good at it.

370
00:15:58,440 --> 00:16:01,760
Speaker 1: And what I'm talking about is this comp this group

371
00:16:01,760 --> 00:16:05,520
Speaker 1: of running backs of the combine Okay, collectively ran the

372
00:16:05,600 --> 00:16:09,400
Speaker 1: fastest forties since two thousand and three. So I mean,

373
00:16:09,440 --> 00:16:10,640
Speaker 1: we got a lot of we got a lot of

374
00:16:10,680 --> 00:16:14,520
Speaker 1: speed merchants coming into the National Football League. But myself

375
00:16:14,560 --> 00:16:17,280
Speaker 1: and others would ask, Okay, well that's great, they're fast.

376
00:16:17,600 --> 00:16:21,280
Speaker 1: God blessed them with natural speed. But can they can

377
00:16:21,320 --> 00:16:24,360
Speaker 1: they catch? And can they protest? And can they learn

378
00:16:24,400 --> 00:16:25,040
Speaker 1: the playbook?

379
00:16:25,520 --> 00:16:25,680
Speaker 4: Uh?

380
00:16:25,720 --> 00:16:28,880
Speaker 1: And and that comes naturally to you? Man, You work

381
00:16:28,920 --> 00:16:31,560
Speaker 1: hard at it, but it's always come naturally to you.

382
00:16:31,600 --> 00:16:32,920
Speaker 1: That's how key is that?

383
00:16:32,960 --> 00:16:37,280
Speaker 3: Man? Yeah? Man, that's that's extremely like I said, that's

384
00:16:37,320 --> 00:16:40,600
Speaker 3: extremely important and uh for me definitely, Like I said,

385
00:16:40,640 --> 00:16:42,160
Speaker 3: you know, some teams have me clocked at the four

386
00:16:42,200 --> 00:16:43,840
Speaker 3: to four. I don't know, TV times a little off,

387
00:16:43,880 --> 00:16:48,360
Speaker 3: but uh, definitely for me, that's extremely important. You know,

388
00:16:48,360 --> 00:16:51,320
Speaker 3: I understand the game of football is huge a day, man,

389
00:16:51,360 --> 00:16:53,400
Speaker 3: we have to combine, we do all these different tests.

390
00:16:53,400 --> 00:16:57,120
Speaker 3: But I played football, man, and that's what I excel at,

391
00:16:57,120 --> 00:16:59,680
Speaker 3: you know, at the highest level. And so for me, man,

392
00:16:59,720 --> 00:17:02,440
Speaker 3: it was just going through this process was just fun

393
00:17:02,440 --> 00:17:03,760
Speaker 3: to be able to go out there and you know,

394
00:17:03,840 --> 00:17:06,960
Speaker 3: show my ability, you know, being able to jump, you know,

395
00:17:07,080 --> 00:17:09,280
Speaker 3: being able to run routes and you know, I even

396
00:17:09,320 --> 00:17:12,800
Speaker 3: stayed after h and ran routes me love and price

397
00:17:13,200 --> 00:17:15,600
Speaker 3: run some routes after just the drills out there, which

398
00:17:15,840 --> 00:17:17,320
Speaker 3: you know is a bus and be able to have

399
00:17:17,520 --> 00:17:19,800
Speaker 3: NFL teams recognize that and know that, you know, I

400
00:17:19,800 --> 00:17:22,240
Speaker 3: can run a rounds off the backfield and also in

401
00:17:22,280 --> 00:17:24,560
Speaker 3: the slots, and so that was the opportunity for me

402
00:17:24,600 --> 00:17:26,520
Speaker 3: to showcase that. And I definitely say, like I said,

403
00:17:26,600 --> 00:17:29,440
Speaker 3: versatility is my biggest strength, and I definitely feel like

404
00:17:29,520 --> 00:17:31,679
Speaker 3: you know, when it comes to doing both. I'm the

405
00:17:31,800 --> 00:17:33,880
Speaker 3: you know back in this draft of the NFL team.

406
00:17:34,400 --> 00:17:36,560
Speaker 3: Uh one regret picking up because I've been able to

407
00:17:36,600 --> 00:17:38,679
Speaker 3: affect the games in different ways and not just running

408
00:17:38,680 --> 00:17:40,960
Speaker 3: the ball, but also catching the ball. Man. Like I said,

409
00:17:40,960 --> 00:17:43,760
Speaker 3: you're going to see my receiving ability in the NFL,

410
00:17:43,840 --> 00:17:45,760
Speaker 3: And like I said, I'm gonna work really hard to

411
00:17:45,800 --> 00:17:47,800
Speaker 3: excel at it, and I will excel at it just

412
00:17:47,840 --> 00:17:50,240
Speaker 3: because of my mentality and I know and I understand

413
00:17:50,280 --> 00:17:51,879
Speaker 3: football at a high level and I'm able to learn

414
00:17:52,040 --> 00:17:53,560
Speaker 3: play what's really really fast?

415
00:17:53,760 --> 00:17:57,040
Speaker 1: You you ran a four or five forty? What what

416
00:17:57,040 --> 00:17:58,840
Speaker 1: do you think of that? And I don't know, man,

417
00:17:58,880 --> 00:18:02,320
Speaker 1: maybe the stop Watch was broken or something, right, Yes.

418
00:18:02,160 --> 00:18:04,840
Speaker 3: Sir man, I was actually you know, PRD not testing

419
00:18:04,880 --> 00:18:06,840
Speaker 3: that where I'm at now, I ran a four to

420
00:18:06,840 --> 00:18:09,840
Speaker 3: four you know, my pretests and things like that, So

421
00:18:09,880 --> 00:18:12,879
Speaker 3: I actually did better at the combine. So yeah, the

422
00:18:12,920 --> 00:18:15,120
Speaker 3: time was a little off. Obviously, I'm not somebody who

423
00:18:15,560 --> 00:18:18,199
Speaker 3: complains about that. But I'm definitely just gonna run out

424
00:18:18,200 --> 00:18:20,000
Speaker 3: Pro Day again and just you know, run a really

425
00:18:20,000 --> 00:18:21,520
Speaker 3: really good time just to show the world. You know,

426
00:18:21,560 --> 00:18:23,960
Speaker 3: like I said, I want to compete. Probably don't really

427
00:18:24,000 --> 00:18:26,439
Speaker 3: have to run again, but I'm a competitor and I

428
00:18:26,520 --> 00:18:28,760
Speaker 3: know how fast I am on my ability, and so

429
00:18:28,960 --> 00:18:31,800
Speaker 3: I'm gonna have no weakness going into this draft, and

430
00:18:31,840 --> 00:18:35,240
Speaker 3: so I want to give you know, teams a great,

431
00:18:35,280 --> 00:18:36,960
Speaker 3: great reason to pick up the best running back in

432
00:18:36,960 --> 00:18:37,359
Speaker 3: this draft.

433
00:18:37,400 --> 00:18:39,320
Speaker 2: All right, roll with me on this one.

434
00:18:39,800 --> 00:18:42,960
Speaker 1: Other notable players in the history of the combine to

435
00:18:43,080 --> 00:18:46,800
Speaker 1: run forties that that were similar to yours, all right.

436
00:18:47,200 --> 00:18:51,639
Speaker 1: They They include Marshawn Lynch, Leonard Fournette, and Bucky Irving.

437
00:18:52,080 --> 00:18:55,560
Speaker 1: So of those three guys, which one do you play

438
00:18:55,600 --> 00:18:57,000
Speaker 1: most like and why?

439
00:18:59,000 --> 00:19:02,080
Speaker 3: I'll definitely say Bucky Irving. You know, I think I

440
00:19:02,200 --> 00:19:05,760
Speaker 3: run I like Marshawn, but Buckie somebody who can you know,

441
00:19:05,880 --> 00:19:08,000
Speaker 3: do different things, you know, run the ball in between

442
00:19:08,000 --> 00:19:10,639
Speaker 3: tadcos and also run around the side of the backfield.

443
00:19:10,680 --> 00:19:12,919
Speaker 3: But man, if I'm being honest, I feel like my

444
00:19:13,000 --> 00:19:15,760
Speaker 3: game is, you know, not really related just to one player.

445
00:19:15,760 --> 00:19:17,520
Speaker 3: I feel like I have a lot of different traits.

446
00:19:17,800 --> 00:19:20,200
Speaker 3: You know, it goes back to like Barry Sanders, but

447
00:19:20,359 --> 00:19:22,480
Speaker 3: Darian Thomainson, you know, those are guys I feel like

448
00:19:22,480 --> 00:19:25,360
Speaker 3: I played similar to. And so going into this league, man,

449
00:19:25,400 --> 00:19:26,960
Speaker 3: I'm like I said, I'm not just trying to be

450
00:19:27,000 --> 00:19:28,840
Speaker 3: another running back in the NFL. I'm trying to really

451
00:19:28,880 --> 00:19:31,199
Speaker 3: dominate at a high level and be the best you

452
00:19:31,200 --> 00:19:33,399
Speaker 3: know to ever play the game. That's my mentality. I

453
00:19:33,440 --> 00:19:35,959
Speaker 3: feel like if I don't think that way, that's failing myself.

454
00:19:36,000 --> 00:19:38,800
Speaker 3: So going into this league, man, like I said, Buckie

455
00:19:38,800 --> 00:19:40,720
Speaker 3: is a solid player, you know. I met with Tampa

456
00:19:40,720 --> 00:19:44,119
Speaker 3: Bay too. Was good to talk to them, you know,

457
00:19:44,400 --> 00:19:49,600
Speaker 3: and also understanding that they're that they're GM played at

458
00:19:49,640 --> 00:19:52,840
Speaker 3: Nebraska to which is really unique. But wow, uh yeah.

459
00:19:52,880 --> 00:19:55,080
Speaker 3: I would definitely just say, man, my skill set is

460
00:19:55,080 --> 00:19:58,400
Speaker 3: special and these teams will see that quickly. So don't

461
00:19:58,440 --> 00:20:01,840
Speaker 3: sleep don't sleep on me because, like I said, if

462
00:20:01,840 --> 00:20:03,359
Speaker 3: you passed on me, may you get it?

463
00:20:03,520 --> 00:20:06,240
Speaker 1: Well, you just ain't given an inch all right now. Now,

464
00:20:06,280 --> 00:20:10,520
Speaker 1: in fairness, Emmett did run and those inside the game

465
00:20:10,560 --> 00:20:12,960
Speaker 1: of the NFL. I've heard this from multiple decades. With

466
00:20:13,040 --> 00:20:16,720
Speaker 1: the combine drills. You got three cone, you have, you

467
00:20:16,760 --> 00:20:18,920
Speaker 1: have a bunch of jumping things, you got the forty.

468
00:20:19,200 --> 00:20:23,000
Speaker 1: The short shuttle matters most to running backs coaches. I've

469
00:20:23,040 --> 00:20:25,920
Speaker 1: just been told this forever. And Emmett ran a four

470
00:20:25,920 --> 00:20:29,000
Speaker 1: point twenty nine short shuttle that was the fastest of

471
00:20:29,040 --> 00:20:31,800
Speaker 1: all running backs at the combine. Now we get to

472
00:20:31,840 --> 00:20:35,199
Speaker 1: the to the three cone drill, and you mentioned it

473
00:20:35,240 --> 00:20:37,399
Speaker 1: earlier and you said it two times. You're like, I

474
00:20:37,480 --> 00:20:40,440
Speaker 1: did all of the drills. What do you have any

475
00:20:40,480 --> 00:20:42,800
Speaker 1: idea why you were the only running back to do

476
00:20:42,880 --> 00:20:44,080
Speaker 1: the the three cone?

477
00:20:45,520 --> 00:20:48,040
Speaker 3: Because I'm an ultimate competitor and I've been competing my

478
00:20:48,080 --> 00:20:50,879
Speaker 3: whole life and I didn't shy away from anything. And

479
00:20:50,960 --> 00:20:53,760
Speaker 3: for me, man, I would definitely just say, like I

480
00:20:53,800 --> 00:20:56,120
Speaker 3: know you say, I ran a four to two shut

481
00:20:56,200 --> 00:20:58,840
Speaker 3: short shuttle, but I was extremely fatigued. Man, I got

482
00:20:58,920 --> 00:21:02,720
Speaker 3: done doing drills, I did routes and everything, and I

483
00:21:02,760 --> 00:21:04,960
Speaker 3: came over there and still competed and got first, you know,

484
00:21:05,000 --> 00:21:07,080
Speaker 3: which is just who I am as a person. You know,

485
00:21:07,119 --> 00:21:08,920
Speaker 3: I could have got, could have waited, you know, and

486
00:21:08,960 --> 00:21:11,159
Speaker 3: there's gotten a better time. Even when it came to

487
00:21:11,200 --> 00:21:13,880
Speaker 3: the three cone, man like out like the three cot

488
00:21:13,920 --> 00:21:15,680
Speaker 3: I think the first one, I slipped on the first

489
00:21:15,720 --> 00:21:18,040
Speaker 3: one and it was just like I was super fatigued,

490
00:21:18,080 --> 00:21:19,880
Speaker 3: but I didn't really care about the results. I feel

491
00:21:19,880 --> 00:21:23,000
Speaker 3: like just me, me competing at the highlvel given everything

492
00:21:23,000 --> 00:21:25,480
Speaker 3: I got, is all that matters. And hopefully these NFL

493
00:21:25,480 --> 00:21:27,720
Speaker 3: teams will see that man like I could have went

494
00:21:27,800 --> 00:21:29,159
Speaker 3: to common and be like I'm going to do one

495
00:21:29,240 --> 00:21:31,399
Speaker 3: or two things and just be done. But I'm the

496
00:21:31,400 --> 00:21:33,359
Speaker 3: type of person who's trying to compete in everything, no

497
00:21:33,359 --> 00:21:35,639
Speaker 3: matter how tired I am. I wanted to show the

498
00:21:35,680 --> 00:21:38,720
Speaker 3: teams that I'm a competitor, and I think that's definitely

499
00:21:38,760 --> 00:21:41,040
Speaker 3: gonna separate me from you know, everybody else in this

500
00:21:41,160 --> 00:21:43,400
Speaker 3: draft Gass, also everybody else in the NFL.

501
00:21:43,600 --> 00:21:45,879
Speaker 2: Hey man, you're the best, all right, last one? And

502
00:21:46,119 --> 00:21:47,240
Speaker 2: thanks for the long chap.

503
00:21:47,920 --> 00:21:52,399
Speaker 1: Has anybody told you who you know much of the

504
00:21:53,280 --> 00:21:56,920
Speaker 1: You reminded some people with your combine of a running

505
00:21:56,960 --> 00:21:58,320
Speaker 1: back who's currently in the league.

506
00:21:58,320 --> 00:22:00,920
Speaker 2: And here's why. It's Kamara.

507
00:22:01,480 --> 00:22:03,960
Speaker 1: Now, you guys, You guys are the same height, You're

508
00:22:04,000 --> 00:22:06,480
Speaker 1: close to the same weight, your hands are a half

509
00:22:06,520 --> 00:22:10,200
Speaker 1: inch bigger than his, and your forties were the exact

510
00:22:10,280 --> 00:22:14,080
Speaker 1: same time. Now, Kamara's had a wonderful career for the

511
00:22:14,080 --> 00:22:17,200
Speaker 1: New Orleans Saints. He was a third round pick at

512
00:22:17,440 --> 00:22:21,240
Speaker 1: sixty seven. What what do you think of Alvin Kamara?

513
00:22:21,640 --> 00:22:22,960
Speaker 1: And have you studied his game?

514
00:22:24,320 --> 00:22:26,560
Speaker 3: Yeah? Man, Kamara is a dog man. I studied a

515
00:22:26,600 --> 00:22:28,680
Speaker 3: lot about Kamara and it was crazy. I was talking

516
00:22:28,720 --> 00:22:31,240
Speaker 3: to the Saints about that too. Uh, you know, in

517
00:22:31,320 --> 00:22:35,000
Speaker 3: my meeting and contact man knowing Ian Kamara and going

518
00:22:35,080 --> 00:22:38,400
Speaker 3: up watching him. He's also Liberian, which I am too,

519
00:22:38,480 --> 00:22:41,480
Speaker 3: So it's kind of a crazy connection. And I kind

520
00:22:41,480 --> 00:22:44,840
Speaker 3: of seen that. I've seen some of the comparison similarities.

521
00:22:45,040 --> 00:22:47,000
Speaker 3: But like I said, man, you know, the testing and

522
00:22:47,040 --> 00:22:49,399
Speaker 3: all that stuff is really great. But andday we got

523
00:22:49,440 --> 00:22:52,000
Speaker 3: to play football, man, and right on that football fielding,

524
00:22:52,040 --> 00:22:55,040
Speaker 3: I'm gonna make everybody feel me. So he's somebody I respectful,

525
00:22:55,080 --> 00:22:57,280
Speaker 3: I have a lot of respect for, and I'm ready

526
00:22:57,280 --> 00:22:58,320
Speaker 3: to dominate this next level.

527
00:22:59,440 --> 00:23:04,000
Speaker 1: Ej Emma Johnson, Richfield's Holy Angels and Nebraska corn Huskers.

528
00:23:04,560 --> 00:23:06,720
Speaker 1: He'll be drafted in a month and change in the

536
00:23:34,640 --> 00:23:37,840
Speaker 5: first hour, PA asked for your talkbacks. Is it as

537
00:23:37,880 --> 00:23:41,359
Speaker 5: becoming more and more apparent at some point. Potentially either

538
00:23:41,480 --> 00:23:44,080
Speaker 5: late this afternoon or sometime maybe this week, a new

539
00:23:44,160 --> 00:23:46,840
Speaker 5: quarterback will be entering the fold and what if it

540
00:23:46,920 --> 00:23:50,399
Speaker 5: was Kyler? Similar conversation last week, although it feels like

541
00:23:50,480 --> 00:23:54,000
Speaker 5: finality is right at our doorstep. You brought some talkbacks

542
00:23:54,000 --> 00:23:56,120
Speaker 5: to the free iHeartRadio app and we're going to listen

543
00:23:56,119 --> 00:23:57,560
Speaker 5: to some of them.

544
00:23:58,080 --> 00:24:01,440
Speaker 4: Hey Pa, love the take on Kyler in the deep dive, crazy,

545
00:24:01,520 --> 00:24:05,400
Speaker 4: the roster that he had back at Oklahoma and Texas Tech.

546
00:24:06,000 --> 00:24:09,200
Speaker 4: You know, the more I think about it, love having uh,

547
00:24:09,800 --> 00:24:12,800
Speaker 4: the opportunity to get Kyler here, especially for a million dollars,

548
00:24:12,840 --> 00:24:15,840
Speaker 4: make him compete with JJ. You know, an ideal situation,

549
00:24:15,920 --> 00:24:17,960
Speaker 4: Kyler comes in and kills it School Vikes to the

550
00:24:18,000 --> 00:24:22,440
Speaker 4: super Bowl. If not, it's it's worth the swing School Vikes.

551
00:24:22,520 --> 00:24:24,520
Speaker 4: This is a ted for a minute, Honka.

552
00:24:25,119 --> 00:24:25,480
Speaker 3: Thanks for you.

553
00:24:25,680 --> 00:24:29,399
Speaker 1: Well, it's up, Bud, thank you. And you know into

554
00:24:29,440 --> 00:24:34,439
Speaker 1: the week the when when we were assessing the deep

555
00:24:34,480 --> 00:24:39,840
Speaker 1: stretch portion of the potential of the Minnesota Vikings adding

556
00:24:40,119 --> 00:24:45,320
Speaker 1: a rather big name quarterback to the roster. The the

557
00:24:45,320 --> 00:24:48,359
Speaker 1: the common thread was it has to be cheap all

558
00:24:48,440 --> 00:24:52,760
Speaker 1: right now. And I still believe that, and I listed it.

559
00:24:53,440 --> 00:24:58,240
Speaker 1: You know as probability would go for the way I

560
00:24:58,400 --> 00:25:03,680
Speaker 1: execute my toil. Kyler won, Geno Smith two, Aaron Rodgers three.

561
00:25:04,440 --> 00:25:07,359
Speaker 1: Kirk Cousins was not in that conversation, even though I

562
00:25:07,400 --> 00:25:11,280
Speaker 1: think Kirk, you know, for a season or so would did. Okay,

563
00:25:12,920 --> 00:25:15,879
Speaker 1: it's and and Nordo Daggerty yesterday a little bit. I

564
00:25:15,920 --> 00:25:19,600
Speaker 1: saw something over the weekend where like, no matter how

565
00:25:19,800 --> 00:25:24,000
Speaker 1: things end today with Atlanta, for Kirk Cousins, the you know,

566
00:25:24,000 --> 00:25:25,960
Speaker 1: they're going to pay him a lot of money, but

567
00:25:26,160 --> 00:25:31,199
Speaker 1: the one year won whatever million dollars to you know,

568
00:25:31,320 --> 00:25:33,840
Speaker 1: come in and or or even two years at some

569
00:25:33,960 --> 00:25:37,080
Speaker 1: kind of a cheap deal, Well that that may not

570
00:25:37,200 --> 00:25:41,199
Speaker 1: be preferred by team Cousins. So that's confusing. Yeah, and

571
00:25:41,240 --> 00:25:44,200
Speaker 1: then Geno Smith goes to the New York Jets. All right,

572
00:25:44,480 --> 00:25:46,960
Speaker 1: so Geno Smith goes to the New York Jets. So

573
00:25:47,040 --> 00:25:50,040
Speaker 1: now you got Kyler, and you have Kirk, and you

574
00:25:50,440 --> 00:25:54,240
Speaker 1: have a bevy of other names. But what the the

575
00:25:54,440 --> 00:25:58,239
Speaker 1: talkback was discussing was about an hour ago. You know,

576
00:25:58,320 --> 00:26:00,840
Speaker 1: it was just kind of a hey, let's get to

577
00:26:00,880 --> 00:26:03,520
Speaker 1: know a few things about Kyler Murray in case he's

578
00:26:03,520 --> 00:26:06,280
Speaker 1: signed by the Minnesota Vikings at some point this week.

579
00:26:07,119 --> 00:26:11,400
Speaker 1: It's you know, I was listening to Barrero a couple

580
00:26:11,440 --> 00:26:14,119
Speaker 1: of days maybe yesterday or a couple of days ago,

581
00:26:14,440 --> 00:26:19,240
Speaker 1: and he was chatting with Guardsy about Kyler Murray, and

582
00:26:19,400 --> 00:26:21,560
Speaker 1: you know, not not to take three to six thirty

583
00:26:21,560 --> 00:26:24,919
Speaker 1: out of context. So paraphrasing, it was kind of like,

584
00:26:25,800 --> 00:26:29,600
Speaker 1: uh speaking speaking for bump, am I the only one?

585
00:26:29,840 --> 00:26:35,240
Speaker 1: Or like he's warmer or hotter on Kyler Murray joining

586
00:26:35,240 --> 00:26:37,840
Speaker 1: the Minnesota Vikings than a lot of other people are.

587
00:26:38,440 --> 00:26:41,679
Speaker 1: All right, Contextually speaking, I wouldn't know that because I

588
00:26:41,760 --> 00:26:44,080
Speaker 1: probably you know, just by listening to Bumper to Bumper.

589
00:26:44,200 --> 00:26:46,119
Speaker 1: Maybe I missed some of his takes along the way,

590
00:26:46,560 --> 00:26:50,040
Speaker 1: but I heard that one now speaking for nine to

591
00:26:50,119 --> 00:26:55,720
Speaker 1: Noon specifically, me and and Nordo can formulate whatever opinion

592
00:26:55,760 --> 00:27:00,320
Speaker 1: he wants. I'm not cold on Kyler Murray coming to

593
00:27:00,400 --> 00:27:04,440
Speaker 1: quarterback for the Minnesota Vikings. I just don't want people

594
00:27:04,640 --> 00:27:08,680
Speaker 1: to take what they see via social media and the

595
00:27:08,800 --> 00:27:13,840
Speaker 1: highlight machine and think that's exactly who you're getting every

596
00:27:13,920 --> 00:27:18,560
Speaker 1: single play, because it's not. Now every quarterback in the

597
00:27:18,640 --> 00:27:21,280
Speaker 1: national foot look look at Drake May. I mean, Drake

598
00:27:21,400 --> 00:27:25,159
Speaker 1: May was the bell of the freaking ball up to

599
00:27:25,200 --> 00:27:29,840
Speaker 1: the Super Bowl, Sam Darnold with what we remember and

600
00:27:30,119 --> 00:27:32,760
Speaker 1: a man who led the NFL in turnovers for the

601
00:27:33,320 --> 00:27:36,479
Speaker 1: Super Chickens who won the championship. You know, Sam had

602
00:27:36,560 --> 00:27:40,280
Speaker 1: some things through which he needed to push. Drake May

603
00:27:40,520 --> 00:27:45,760
Speaker 1: clearly has things through which he needs to push. With Kyler,

604
00:27:46,119 --> 00:27:48,480
Speaker 1: we get in in twenty nineteen, we win Rookie of

605
00:27:48,480 --> 00:27:52,199
Speaker 1: the Year with twenty passing touchdowns and four rushing touchdowns.

606
00:27:52,920 --> 00:27:58,600
Speaker 1: As things move forward with Kyler Murray, just because it's

607
00:27:58,680 --> 00:28:02,640
Speaker 1: low hanging fruit, you know, doesn't mean that the cliches

608
00:28:02,720 --> 00:28:06,200
Speaker 1: or the obvious need to be avoided because they're they're

609
00:28:06,240 --> 00:28:08,920
Speaker 1: they're important. And the fact that he's five to ten,

610
00:28:09,560 --> 00:28:12,920
Speaker 1: you know that that's something everybody is going to discuss

611
00:28:13,200 --> 00:28:18,320
Speaker 1: before they signed Kyler Murray, Specifically offenses and or play

612
00:28:18,359 --> 00:28:22,400
Speaker 1: callers that prefer their quarterbacks to stay in the pocket

613
00:28:22,880 --> 00:28:25,719
Speaker 1: and attack the middle of the field. Now, the gifts

614
00:28:25,720 --> 00:28:30,240
Speaker 1: that Kyler Murray possesses, they can be otherworldly.

615
00:28:30,840 --> 00:28:34,480
Speaker 2: And I wouldn't pin Kyler as like Kyler.

616
00:28:34,240 --> 00:28:36,960
Speaker 1: Is a guy who lacks a swivel, all right, you

617
00:28:37,000 --> 00:28:38,600
Speaker 1: know I'm not I'm not going to put that on him.

618
00:28:38,640 --> 00:28:41,640
Speaker 1: Like justin fields for X amount of years where all right,

619
00:28:42,640 --> 00:28:45,360
Speaker 1: Christian Kirk's not covered, I gotta or he's covered. I

620
00:28:45,400 --> 00:28:45,920
Speaker 1: gotta run.

621
00:28:46,240 --> 00:28:47,800
Speaker 2: DeAndre Hopkins is covered.

622
00:28:47,880 --> 00:28:48,560
Speaker 1: I gotta run.

623
00:28:48,840 --> 00:28:50,960
Speaker 2: Trey McBride is covered. I gotta run.

624
00:28:51,440 --> 00:28:54,480
Speaker 1: It's I'm not up to speed enough with Kyler Murray

625
00:28:54,520 --> 00:28:57,920
Speaker 1: to know how well or poorly he scans the field.

626
00:28:58,720 --> 00:29:01,920
Speaker 1: And he is dynamic, there's no doubt about it. And

627
00:29:02,240 --> 00:29:06,120
Speaker 1: his arm is good, if not good enough. But the

628
00:29:06,400 --> 00:29:10,640
Speaker 1: way offense has been run or was run in Arizona

629
00:29:11,200 --> 00:29:16,000
Speaker 1: is different than here. But that doesn't mean things can't

630
00:29:16,120 --> 00:29:20,760
Speaker 1: change here. If indeed he is the quarterback, there are

631
00:29:20,760 --> 00:29:23,560
Speaker 1: a lot of things you can do, like if you

632
00:29:23,600 --> 00:29:26,400
Speaker 1: want to go dream scaping, if you want to go

633
00:29:26,560 --> 00:29:32,719
Speaker 1: speed related dreamscaping, if you close on Kyler Murray and

634
00:29:32,760 --> 00:29:35,920
Speaker 1: then you find your way. And I'm an Emma Johnson guy, clearly,

635
00:29:36,040 --> 00:29:41,520
Speaker 1: And he's fast. With respect to my friend Jeremiah Love,

636
00:29:42,800 --> 00:29:46,600
Speaker 1: he might be otherworldly. He might be one of those backs.

637
00:29:46,680 --> 00:29:49,720
Speaker 1: I ain't gonna put him on Bjeon Robinson, but he

638
00:29:49,840 --> 00:29:53,719
Speaker 1: might be one of those high enders like that. And

639
00:29:53,760 --> 00:29:59,040
Speaker 1: he's fast, he's very fast, and he's elusive. I mean,

640
00:29:59,120 --> 00:30:02,120
Speaker 1: if you found your way to that and you have Kyler,

641
00:30:02,880 --> 00:30:07,120
Speaker 1: and you have Justin and you have Jordan. I mean,

642
00:30:07,200 --> 00:30:11,000
Speaker 1: that's so much speed to attack a defense with on

643
00:30:11,040 --> 00:30:14,000
Speaker 1: a weekly basis. You can even get another running back

644
00:30:14,000 --> 00:30:16,840
Speaker 1: who's fast, just just you know, because you don't find

645
00:30:16,880 --> 00:30:19,440
Speaker 1: your way to Jeremiah Love in the first round, the

646
00:30:19,480 --> 00:30:22,840
Speaker 1: Notre Dame running back. So I like that, Yes, I

647
00:30:23,000 --> 00:30:26,000
Speaker 1: like adding speed. There are facets that we all know

648
00:30:26,120 --> 00:30:29,280
Speaker 1: about Kyler Murray that have kind of plagued him during

649
00:30:29,320 --> 00:30:31,920
Speaker 1: the course of his career. I can't say I don't

650
00:30:32,040 --> 00:30:34,840
Speaker 1: like them because I don't have the full context of

651
00:30:34,880 --> 00:30:37,680
Speaker 1: what went into some of the things because they weren't here.

652
00:30:38,000 --> 00:30:40,640
Speaker 1: I mean, nothing terribly bad, like when you're talking about

653
00:30:40,640 --> 00:30:44,680
Speaker 1: super bad off the field things, just limitations within a game.

654
00:30:45,360 --> 00:30:49,959
Speaker 1: And it probably wouldn't cost that much. But you know,

655
00:30:50,040 --> 00:30:54,440
Speaker 1: the the New York Jets are getting chided in that

656
00:30:54,800 --> 00:30:57,960
Speaker 1: they made a move for Gino Smith yesterday where they

657
00:30:58,120 --> 00:31:01,800
Speaker 1: paid more than they would have to pay if they

658
00:31:01,800 --> 00:31:04,440
Speaker 1: signed Geno Smith today first day of the league year. Yeah,

659
00:31:04,840 --> 00:31:08,440
Speaker 1: but you know what the I think his name is.

660
00:31:08,520 --> 00:31:12,840
Speaker 1: Darren Muji is the new GM for the New York Jets.

661
00:31:13,080 --> 00:31:15,440
Speaker 1: He used to be with the Denver Broncos he's he's,

662
00:31:15,480 --> 00:31:19,040
Speaker 1: he's he's quite close with with Kevin O'Connell. You know,

663
00:31:20,000 --> 00:31:23,240
Speaker 1: if the Jets sensed the Vikings are somebody else, We're

664
00:31:23,240 --> 00:31:27,080
Speaker 1: going to make a move at a relatively inexpensive number

665
00:31:27,360 --> 00:31:31,480
Speaker 1: for somebody they want. Well, truly, what is over paying

666
00:31:31,880 --> 00:31:35,120
Speaker 1: if you get something that you want and you don't

667
00:31:35,160 --> 00:31:38,920
Speaker 1: have to sweat dealing with other teams, or you know,

668
00:31:39,000 --> 00:31:41,600
Speaker 1: you can handle a little like the Baltimore Ravens, where

669
00:31:41,640 --> 00:31:44,160
Speaker 1: you can just make a deal, quit on the deal,

670
00:31:44,760 --> 00:31:48,080
Speaker 1: get your first round picks back. Learn The next day,

671
00:31:48,720 --> 00:31:51,640
Speaker 1: Lamar Jackson just decides he's going to redo his deal

672
00:31:52,200 --> 00:31:54,600
Speaker 1: so they can find salary caps pace for Trey Hendrickson.

673
00:31:55,120 --> 00:31:57,960
Speaker 1: This thing's really starting to piss me off. I think

674
00:31:58,120 --> 00:32:00,080
Speaker 1: I think this is I think it was a fixed ray.

675
00:32:00,720 --> 00:32:04,520
Speaker 1: I mean, as conspiratorial as it is, it looks like

676
00:32:04,600 --> 00:32:07,760
Speaker 1: they knew exactly what they were doing every step of

677
00:32:07,800 --> 00:32:12,480
Speaker 1: the way, including bleeping the Raiders. They don't care about

678
00:32:12,520 --> 00:32:17,000
Speaker 1: Draymond Jones, and they kept other teams from doing maybe

679
00:32:17,000 --> 00:32:20,800
Speaker 1: what they wanted and adding so they couldn't add something. Yeah,

680
00:32:20,840 --> 00:32:22,640
Speaker 1: I mean, there might be a side of brilliant to it,

681
00:32:22,720 --> 00:32:26,520
Speaker 1: but I'm not in the cheating business. And so anyway

682
00:32:26,520 --> 00:32:30,280
Speaker 1: back to Kyler or back to Kyler and Geno. It's

683
00:32:30,520 --> 00:32:32,480
Speaker 1: I meant to do this this morning and I forgot.

684
00:32:32,560 --> 00:32:38,640
Speaker 1: But like, how many teams truly need a quarterback that

685
00:32:38,920 --> 00:32:41,400
Speaker 1: they can say, all right, well, it's going to be

686
00:32:41,480 --> 00:32:43,480
Speaker 1: this deal, you know, because you're getting all that money

687
00:32:43,520 --> 00:32:47,080
Speaker 1: from Arizona. It's going to be this deal and you're

688
00:32:47,120 --> 00:32:52,200
Speaker 1: going to start. See they can do that here if

689
00:32:52,200 --> 00:32:56,160
Speaker 1: they are so inclined. And for Kyler Murray to look

690
00:32:56,200 --> 00:32:59,320
Speaker 1: around the National Football League and be like, all right,

691
00:32:59,560 --> 00:33:03,760
Speaker 1: I mean maybe Jackson Dart needs more time. Maybe there, yeah,

692
00:33:03,840 --> 00:33:07,080
Speaker 1: I mean Pennix and you know, do they want to

693
00:33:07,120 --> 00:33:08,080
Speaker 1: right handed quarterback?

694
00:33:08,440 --> 00:33:11,560
Speaker 2: Anybody want to right handed quarterback who can run? Consider me?

695
00:33:12,360 --> 00:33:14,480
Speaker 5: So I just Dolphins, just I'm just looking at the

696
00:33:14,480 --> 00:33:17,480
Speaker 5: teams right now. Dolphins just signed Malik Willis forty five

697
00:33:17,520 --> 00:33:20,680
Speaker 5: million guaranteed. So I got they're going to start Malik Willis. Sir,

698
00:33:20,840 --> 00:33:24,120
Speaker 5: you go to the AFC North it's Lamar Burrow. I mean,

699
00:33:24,160 --> 00:33:29,040
Speaker 5: I'm just blanking on the Brown situation. God probably not.

700
00:33:29,320 --> 00:33:32,320
Speaker 5: I mean I don't think he would. Steelers is an option,

701
00:33:32,760 --> 00:33:36,040
Speaker 5: depending upon you know, the the the thumb twiddling of

702
00:33:36,080 --> 00:33:36,960
Speaker 5: an Aaron Rodgers.

703
00:33:37,640 --> 00:33:38,320
Speaker 1: You got c J.

704
00:33:38,520 --> 00:33:43,400
Speaker 5: Stroud, the Achilles situation with the Colts. They could find

705
00:33:43,400 --> 00:33:45,680
Speaker 5: something while Daniel Jones recovers.

706
00:33:45,240 --> 00:33:47,400
Speaker 1: But didn't. They didn't they do the franchise with him.

707
00:33:47,760 --> 00:33:50,040
Speaker 1: I think they're working on a two year extension for him.

708
00:33:50,360 --> 00:33:51,880
Speaker 1: That's part of that, and that's like imminent.

709
00:33:52,040 --> 00:33:54,080
Speaker 5: Okay, so he's going to be in the mix and

710
00:33:54,120 --> 00:33:56,240
Speaker 5: then for one point three you could bring in Kyler

711
00:33:56,280 --> 00:33:58,680
Speaker 5: for a year, Hey, show out with Alec Pearce and

712
00:33:58,720 --> 00:34:00,600
Speaker 5: then get get paid for agency.

713
00:34:00,640 --> 00:34:00,840
Speaker 3: Yeah.

714
00:34:00,880 --> 00:34:04,880
Speaker 1: But you know what, Daniel Jones, under the cover of darkness,

715
00:34:05,200 --> 00:34:08,920
Speaker 1: left here because he didn't want to deal with that. Yeah.

716
00:34:08,960 --> 00:34:11,600
Speaker 1: So in other words, you know, it's it's it's broken

717
00:34:11,640 --> 00:34:14,000
Speaker 1: toy terrorism. We'll get you out of the big Apple,

718
00:34:14,040 --> 00:34:17,680
Speaker 1: the concrete jungle, put you on the practice squad, no interviews,

719
00:34:17,880 --> 00:34:20,160
Speaker 1: just just just go out there and be a football player.

720
00:34:20,239 --> 00:34:23,640
Speaker 1: Reset everything, recept thank you. Get your mind right. And

721
00:34:24,040 --> 00:34:26,920
Speaker 1: you know, I don't have confirmation on this, but I

722
00:34:26,960 --> 00:34:30,959
Speaker 1: you know, I fully believe that the Minnesota Vikings felt

723
00:34:31,000 --> 00:34:34,200
Speaker 1: Daniel Jones would be on their roster the next year. Well,

724
00:34:34,440 --> 00:34:36,680
Speaker 1: DJ has the right to look at it and say

725
00:34:36,800 --> 00:34:39,399
Speaker 1: you're kind of all in on that kid, right, so

726
00:34:39,719 --> 00:34:40,640
Speaker 1: I want to play too?

727
00:34:40,680 --> 00:34:40,919
Speaker 3: Man?

728
00:34:41,160 --> 00:34:44,080
Speaker 1: Yeah, so he left. Well, if now I know, I

729
00:34:44,120 --> 00:34:46,480
Speaker 1: know it's an achilles, you know, but it's not going

730
00:34:46,520 --> 00:34:49,480
Speaker 1: to be the full season next year probably not. So

731
00:34:49,520 --> 00:34:53,480
Speaker 1: if you're Daniel Jones and and and you sense Kyler

732
00:34:53,520 --> 00:34:56,040
Speaker 1: Murray maybe coming into the fold, why would you want

733
00:34:56,080 --> 00:34:56,560
Speaker 1: to play there?

734
00:34:57,719 --> 00:34:59,800
Speaker 5: Well, I mean it's still if it would be the

735
00:34:59,840 --> 00:35:02,040
Speaker 5: same thing, you'd have to have a conversation with him.

736
00:35:02,120 --> 00:35:04,840
Speaker 5: I just I don't think if the Colts were really

737
00:35:04,880 --> 00:35:07,319
Speaker 5: if they're if they're worried about okay, you know, you

738
00:35:07,400 --> 00:35:10,960
Speaker 5: watch whether it was Rogers his recovery from the ACL

739
00:35:11,040 --> 00:35:15,040
Speaker 5: that second year in with the Jets was problematic. Uh,

740
00:35:15,160 --> 00:35:18,799
Speaker 5: the struggles that Kirk Cousins had returning from his achilles. Yeah,

741
00:35:18,880 --> 00:35:20,799
Speaker 5: really wasn't right until a year and a half or

742
00:35:20,800 --> 00:35:23,560
Speaker 5: so later at the Colts that the Colts, if you're

743
00:35:23,600 --> 00:35:26,200
Speaker 5: about to do the two year extension, maybe part of

744
00:35:26,200 --> 00:35:28,880
Speaker 5: that saying, hey, you know, we Kyler could be an

745
00:35:28,880 --> 00:35:29,399
Speaker 5: option there.

746
00:35:29,400 --> 00:35:31,400
Speaker 1: Hey, I got to think about how to win games.

747
00:35:31,400 --> 00:35:33,320
Speaker 1: I just spent a bunch of money on the pass catcher.

748
00:35:33,640 --> 00:35:35,600
Speaker 1: I don't know, but to that end. That's a great point.

749
00:35:35,840 --> 00:35:41,080
Speaker 1: They spent that money on the speed and potentially add speed. Yeah,

750
00:35:41,120 --> 00:35:43,520
Speaker 1: so that that is a potential spot that I kind

751
00:35:43,560 --> 00:35:46,480
Speaker 1: of overlooked. And they got Jonathan Taylor. To Jonathan Taylor

752
00:35:46,640 --> 00:35:51,040
Speaker 1: offensive line's okay, did Lores you play indoors? We'll come

753
00:35:51,120 --> 00:35:55,400
Speaker 1: back surface. I I think there's a Saint almos is

754
00:35:55,440 --> 00:35:59,040
Speaker 1: awesome and that little prohibition, that little speakeasy at top.

755
00:35:59,160 --> 00:36:01,560
Speaker 1: Now you're in the Jets, sure hadding fifteen minutes outside

756
00:36:01,560 --> 00:36:03,879
Speaker 1: of town. It was nothing but good times. Well things

757
00:36:03,920 --> 00:36:04,879
Speaker 1: sounds good enough to eat.

758
00:36:06,080 --> 00:36:08,360
Speaker 5: The Jets made the move because the new GM is

759
00:36:08,400 --> 00:36:11,359
Speaker 5: probably sitting there going okay, So on Wednesday the rat

760
00:36:11,440 --> 00:36:12,280
Speaker 5: race will begin.

761
00:36:12,600 --> 00:36:12,839
Speaker 3: Yep.

762
00:36:13,280 --> 00:36:15,880
Speaker 5: And I'm the Jets, And I mean there's got to

763
00:36:15,920 --> 00:36:18,520
Speaker 5: be some self awareness there in terms of what Minnesota

764
00:36:18,600 --> 00:36:20,680
Speaker 5: might have to offer. Now, Atlanta was in the mix,

765
00:36:20,719 --> 00:36:22,760
Speaker 5: but then they signed. I mean, it's all South pause

766
00:36:22,800 --> 00:36:25,040
Speaker 5: all the time down in the atl But they have

767
00:36:25,120 --> 00:36:26,600
Speaker 5: to look at this like, I don't want to get

768
00:36:26,680 --> 00:36:29,880
Speaker 5: stuck with my pockets turned out here. If Geno finds

769
00:36:29,920 --> 00:36:32,520
Speaker 5: a spot and it is the one point three bid

770
00:36:32,600 --> 00:36:35,040
Speaker 5: and Kyler, there's a lot of league wide assumption he's

771
00:36:35,080 --> 00:36:37,960
Speaker 5: going to be here. So you know, you you mentioned

772
00:36:39,000 --> 00:36:41,239
Speaker 5: I had kind of written off Kyler. I mean, that's

773
00:36:41,320 --> 00:36:43,000
Speaker 5: kind of just how I looked at it the times

774
00:36:43,000 --> 00:36:46,239
Speaker 5: that I've seen him, the athleticism and the playmaking and

775
00:36:46,280 --> 00:36:48,880
Speaker 5: all of that is apparent. And I had asked you

776
00:36:48,960 --> 00:36:51,000
Speaker 5: off air because there was a talkback and I was

777
00:36:51,040 --> 00:36:55,000
Speaker 5: reading the transcript and actually I can he was talking

778
00:36:55,040 --> 00:36:58,160
Speaker 5: about that maybe this is the most raw talented QB

779
00:36:58,280 --> 00:37:00,759
Speaker 5: we've had since dan't they And about the dual threat

780
00:37:00,800 --> 00:37:04,160
Speaker 5: ability of Culpepper back in the day. All of that's accurate,

781
00:37:04,280 --> 00:37:08,040
Speaker 5: Like no, I would never question and he finds ways

782
00:37:08,080 --> 00:37:11,040
Speaker 5: to make unbelievable plays. But throughout his career and what

783
00:37:11,080 --> 00:37:13,160
Speaker 5: I've seen from him, and now our team's faced him

784
00:37:13,200 --> 00:37:13,520
Speaker 5: a bunch.

785
00:37:13,640 --> 00:37:14,960
Speaker 1: We've got those pump passes.

786
00:37:15,000 --> 00:37:17,160
Speaker 5: He will make the play that also can end the

787
00:37:17,239 --> 00:37:20,759
Speaker 5: game for your favorite team as well, and so you know,

788
00:37:20,880 --> 00:37:24,560
Speaker 5: just balancing that, it's like, okay, lack of weapons Arizona.

789
00:37:24,680 --> 00:37:27,360
Speaker 5: They're trying their damnedest, but but in terms of putting

790
00:37:27,440 --> 00:37:29,839
Speaker 5: things around him, it just hasn't worked out. And then

791
00:37:29,880 --> 00:37:31,960
Speaker 5: two of the last three seasons he's been nicked up.

792
00:37:32,040 --> 00:37:35,560
Speaker 5: So you know, writing him off. Maybe is too harsh,

793
00:37:35,680 --> 00:37:38,200
Speaker 5: but I didn't I didn't look at him as a

794
00:37:38,280 --> 00:37:42,120
Speaker 5: game changing, highlight all pro caliber QB.

795
00:37:42,400 --> 00:37:42,640
Speaker 3: Yep.

796
00:37:43,080 --> 00:37:44,719
Speaker 1: But this stage of his career, at.

797
00:37:44,640 --> 00:37:47,439
Speaker 5: This stage of his career, but he intrigues the heck

798
00:37:47,480 --> 00:37:50,359
Speaker 5: out of me Pek. And there's an interesting situation here

799
00:37:50,360 --> 00:37:53,560
Speaker 5: that will unfold if he indeed joins this team this week.

800
00:37:54,239 --> 00:37:59,440
Speaker 5: Is the way that the head coach wants his quarterbacks

801
00:37:59,480 --> 00:38:03,160
Speaker 5: to play versus the way that Kyler plays, and the

802
00:38:03,320 --> 00:38:08,879
Speaker 5: meshing of those in some ways conflicting or non congruent ideas,

803
00:38:09,360 --> 00:38:13,120
Speaker 5: how that comes together this season. So when they sit

804
00:38:13,120 --> 00:38:14,640
Speaker 5: down with him, they're gonna meet with him. It sounds

805
00:38:14,680 --> 00:38:18,520
Speaker 5: like this afternoon. You know, I think he's meeting a

806
00:38:18,520 --> 00:38:21,400
Speaker 5: bunch of teams via zoom. Okay, so there'll be some

807
00:38:21,480 --> 00:38:24,560
Speaker 5: zoom calls. Oh wait we oh wow, big tweet here.

808
00:38:24,680 --> 00:38:26,320
Speaker 5: Oh okay, we have some confirmation.

809
00:38:28,440 --> 00:38:34,719
Speaker 2: Yeah. Daniel Jones two years eighty eight million.

810
00:38:34,440 --> 00:38:37,040
Speaker 1: With the Colts. I always love that one. Anyway, you

811
00:38:37,040 --> 00:38:38,120
Speaker 1: were saying, well, there you go.

812
00:38:38,120 --> 00:38:40,720
Speaker 5: And maybe since he just gave mayy eight, maybe you're

813
00:38:40,760 --> 00:38:42,279
Speaker 5: not going to bring in Kyler this year.

814
00:38:42,680 --> 00:38:44,799
Speaker 1: And they got Riley Leonard. They liked him. Maybe he's

815
00:38:44,840 --> 00:38:47,960
Speaker 1: the guy the answer and substitution No to that end,

816
00:38:48,120 --> 00:38:50,840
Speaker 1: I want to see how that that relationship meshes, because

817
00:38:51,560 --> 00:38:53,600
Speaker 1: there's a part of the head coach where he has

818
00:38:53,719 --> 00:38:57,439
Speaker 1: to acknowledge Kyler is who Kyler is. So Kyler's gonna

819
00:38:57,440 --> 00:38:58,240
Speaker 1: get out of the pocket.

820
00:38:58,640 --> 00:39:01,600
Speaker 5: Kyler's gonna run now versus the way that we used

821
00:39:01,640 --> 00:39:03,760
Speaker 5: to talk about man I wish we could. It's almost

822
00:39:03,800 --> 00:39:05,799
Speaker 5: like he wanted to teach Kirk Cousins how to run.

823
00:39:06,120 --> 00:39:09,080
Speaker 5: There's a nant, there's a natural and very fluid. Again,

824
00:39:09,080 --> 00:39:12,439
Speaker 5: the raw athleticism of this kid is unbelievable. So he's

825
00:39:12,480 --> 00:39:14,359
Speaker 5: going to run. He's going to be smart, he's going

826
00:39:14,400 --> 00:39:17,520
Speaker 5: to protect himself. He's going to extend plays. He's going

827
00:39:17,600 --> 00:39:22,840
Speaker 5: to find Jordanatterson on some five or seven step drop deeper,

828
00:39:23,000 --> 00:39:26,040
Speaker 5: longer developing play. But he's going to find him because

829
00:39:26,040 --> 00:39:27,680
Speaker 5: he had to run near the sideline to do it

830
00:39:27,719 --> 00:39:28,760
Speaker 5: and throw off platform.

831
00:39:28,760 --> 00:39:30,000
Speaker 1: There's going to be those moments.

832
00:39:30,239 --> 00:39:33,720
Speaker 5: I'm just curious how the meshing of what the coach wants, yeah,

833
00:39:33,760 --> 00:39:37,560
Speaker 5: and how the player just instinctively acts on a football field,

834
00:39:37,920 --> 00:39:40,799
Speaker 5: how those two come together, and then and then how

835
00:39:40,800 --> 00:39:44,239
Speaker 5: that conversation is around a competition, because as much as

836
00:39:44,239 --> 00:39:47,319
Speaker 5: I like I want JJ McCarthy to succeed, we spent

837
00:39:47,360 --> 00:39:48,799
Speaker 5: the tenth overall pick on him.

838
00:39:49,080 --> 00:39:51,360
Speaker 1: At this rate. From my standpoint, it's not a competition.

839
00:39:51,480 --> 00:39:52,800
Speaker 1: Kyler would win that race.

840
00:39:53,120 --> 00:39:55,799
Speaker 5: And Kyler will be starting Week one, twenty twenty six

841
00:39:55,840 --> 00:39:56,840
Speaker 5: for the Purple.

842
00:39:56,600 --> 00:40:01,480
Speaker 1: Yep is, what do you think of this? Is wide

843
00:40:01,560 --> 00:40:06,319
Speaker 1: receiver Christian Kirk still available? I could look, I can

844
00:40:06,360 --> 00:40:11,240
Speaker 1: absolutely I think he is. Well, that's Kyler Murray's best friend. Okay,

845
00:40:11,280 --> 00:40:14,400
Speaker 1: from from back to when they played together at Texas

846
00:40:14,400 --> 00:40:18,120
Speaker 1: A and M and Josh Reynolds was a wide receiver there.

847
00:40:18,640 --> 00:40:21,000
Speaker 1: Kyler was young, in the in the bid, then they

848
00:40:21,000 --> 00:40:25,880
Speaker 1: played together in Arizona. Christian got paid by Jacksonville and left. Yeah,

849
00:40:26,000 --> 00:40:27,800
Speaker 1: all right, So I don't know how much game Christian

850
00:40:27,880 --> 00:40:31,960
Speaker 1: Kirk has left, but I mean Christian's fast. So I wonder,

851
00:40:32,160 --> 00:40:35,120
Speaker 1: you know, because the the with Naylor going to the Raiders.

852
00:40:35,560 --> 00:40:38,000
Speaker 1: Of course you got the draft and you got Ty Felton,

853
00:40:38,560 --> 00:40:42,719
Speaker 1: but you know, there potentially could be a way if

854
00:40:42,880 --> 00:40:48,200
Speaker 1: if if Kyler Murray indeed as a report indicated yesterday,

855
00:40:48,280 --> 00:40:50,520
Speaker 1: and Christian Kirk's available, Yeah, and I wonder what he

856
00:40:50,560 --> 00:40:53,719
Speaker 1: would require financially. But if you and I think the

857
00:40:53,800 --> 00:40:57,040
Speaker 1: Vikings just reworked byra Murphy Juniors deal. I saw that

858
00:40:57,040 --> 00:41:00,759
Speaker 1: tweet within the last hour, so they have even more

859
00:41:00,760 --> 00:41:03,719
Speaker 1: money now for things like this. Well he made sick

860
00:41:04,000 --> 00:41:04,560
Speaker 1: Kirk made.

861
00:41:04,640 --> 00:41:07,160
Speaker 5: This must have been the back end of his Jaguars deal,

862
00:41:07,840 --> 00:41:09,879
Speaker 5: because he made sixteen million last year.

863
00:41:10,360 --> 00:41:12,920
Speaker 1: Christian Kirk did, I don't think so. I wonder if

864
00:41:12,960 --> 00:41:17,279
Speaker 1: you can tell Kyler here, Kyler, Kyler, Kitty Kitty, and

865
00:41:17,320 --> 00:41:20,080
Speaker 1: we're gonna bring Christian Kirk in to join you. Oh,

866
00:41:20,280 --> 00:41:22,919
Speaker 1: I mean that that that kind of stuff gets things

867
00:41:22,960 --> 00:41:24,680
Speaker 1: over the hump. You know, does it need to get

868
00:41:24,719 --> 00:41:27,600
Speaker 1: over the hump? I don't know, but it wouldn't hurt.

869
00:41:27,719 --> 00:41:31,080
Speaker 1: And we need a third receiver. Christian Kirk should be

870
00:41:31,080 --> 00:41:33,640
Speaker 1: better than Jalen Naylor or certainly as good.

871
00:41:33,760 --> 00:41:35,640
Speaker 5: But maybe, I mean their best buddies, and I hope

872
00:41:35,640 --> 00:41:38,520
Speaker 5: they're hanging out all the time. Hey, you know, get

873
00:41:38,560 --> 00:41:40,640
Speaker 5: a big house and move in and be roommates and

874
00:41:40,640 --> 00:41:44,720
Speaker 5: have a super cool bachelor pad. But it just okay.

875
00:41:44,760 --> 00:41:47,279
Speaker 5: So we talked about the Colts. I'm struggling for other

876
00:41:47,360 --> 00:41:49,719
Speaker 5: teams right now. The Raiders might be in the conversation,

877
00:41:49,920 --> 00:41:52,680
Speaker 5: because hey, we're going to draft Fernando Mendoza, but you

878
00:41:52,719 --> 00:41:55,560
Speaker 5: know that that thing might not be perfect right away. Certainly,

879
00:41:56,000 --> 00:41:57,759
Speaker 5: I'm trying to think of all the options he has.

880
00:41:57,880 --> 00:41:59,000
Speaker 2: I have a wild card.

881
00:41:59,080 --> 00:42:01,360
Speaker 5: He's a he's a apparently as a kid, he's a

882
00:42:01,440 --> 00:42:03,279
Speaker 5: Vikings fan. I mean, I don't know if we have

883
00:42:03,480 --> 00:42:06,360
Speaker 5: I don't know if we'd need Christian Kirk if you

884
00:42:06,440 --> 00:42:08,359
Speaker 5: brought him in here and you said, hey, you're gonna start.

885
00:42:08,440 --> 00:42:09,719
Speaker 5: This is a great platform him.

886
00:42:10,080 --> 00:42:12,880
Speaker 1: Hey, justin Jefferson just happens to be hanging out here

887
00:42:12,920 --> 00:42:15,480
Speaker 1: at the facility. What's up? I just wonder if you

888
00:42:15,560 --> 00:42:19,000
Speaker 1: can do better as a third receiver really third and

889
00:42:19,000 --> 00:42:22,520
Speaker 1: a half because of Hockkinson or whatever back they get

890
00:42:22,520 --> 00:42:25,120
Speaker 1: in the draft who can catch. Yeah, I just wonder

891
00:42:25,120 --> 00:42:27,799
Speaker 1: if you can do better for that position and financially

892
00:42:27,840 --> 00:42:30,560
Speaker 1: speaking than Christian Kirk. And I've kind of talked myself

893
00:42:30,600 --> 00:42:30,920
Speaker 1: into it.

894
00:42:31,040 --> 00:42:32,799
Speaker 5: Yeah, you're kind of in love with Christian Kirk now.

895
00:42:32,800 --> 00:42:34,799
Speaker 5: He's he's a good player when healthy.

896
00:42:34,680 --> 00:42:38,840
Speaker 1: Here's a wild card. Don't forget about Juwan though, who.

897
00:42:38,440 --> 00:42:39,280
Speaker 2: Oh Juwan Jennings.

898
00:42:39,480 --> 00:42:42,239
Speaker 1: Juwan Jennings, know what's up with Juwan Jenny give it

899
00:42:42,280 --> 00:42:44,800
Speaker 1: up on Juwan, I'm not well, how come nobody signed

900
00:42:44,840 --> 00:42:48,200
Speaker 1: him yet? Crazy? He probably maybe the dollar amount, Yeah,

901
00:42:48,239 --> 00:42:49,959
Speaker 1: it was more than I thought it would be. Here's

902
00:42:50,000 --> 00:42:54,640
Speaker 1: the wild card before we pause, and no scheme on this.

903
00:42:54,920 --> 00:42:59,479
Speaker 1: Haven't seen it anywhere online. And I adore the guy

904
00:43:00,000 --> 00:43:02,680
Speaker 1: all right. I adore the quarterback of the Houston Texans.

905
00:43:03,520 --> 00:43:07,080
Speaker 1: When did the Texans get tired of CJ. Stroud? Because

906
00:43:07,200 --> 00:43:11,239
Speaker 1: when they do, they they got that defense. They they've

907
00:43:11,320 --> 00:43:16,520
Speaker 1: put some things together where they're close, but they're getting

908
00:43:16,560 --> 00:43:19,560
Speaker 1: in certain situations where the former rookie of the Year

909
00:43:19,640 --> 00:43:25,800
Speaker 1: is holding them back. So yeah, speedy surface, very fast,

910
00:43:25,880 --> 00:43:31,440
Speaker 1: glitzy team, good receiver with Nico Collins running back games, decent,

911
00:43:32,000 --> 00:43:33,200
Speaker 1: offensive lines decent.

912
00:43:33,600 --> 00:43:35,360
Speaker 5: I think that's the thing though. I think their running

913
00:43:35,360 --> 00:43:38,440
Speaker 5: back situations meant awful, like Mixing didn't play a game

914
00:43:38,560 --> 00:43:42,360
Speaker 5: like that's shrouded in obscurity in terms of his health. Yeah,

915
00:43:42,400 --> 00:43:44,839
Speaker 5: they dusted off Nick Chubb post injury, and he had

916
00:43:44,920 --> 00:43:48,720
Speaker 5: his moments. Damian Pierce, Charch's favorite player in the NFL,

917
00:43:48,880 --> 00:43:51,960
Speaker 5: has mostly been a huge letdown after early burst.

918
00:43:52,239 --> 00:43:55,120
Speaker 2: Well, Kyler runs, but the other quarterback and running back the.

919
00:43:55,120 --> 00:43:57,359
Speaker 5: Other thing too, and I'm not trying to but they

920
00:43:57,400 --> 00:44:00,239
Speaker 5: signed at Ingram to the three and thirty seven, and

921
00:44:00,320 --> 00:44:02,920
Speaker 5: I just remember throughout the year, just reading random bits,

922
00:44:03,040 --> 00:44:06,440
Speaker 5: that there were conversations about O line issues that related

923
00:44:06,480 --> 00:44:08,160
Speaker 5: to maybe some of the struggles that CJ.

924
00:44:08,239 --> 00:44:10,320
Speaker 1: Stroud had. Now the team again.

925
00:44:10,160 --> 00:44:12,759
Speaker 5: Just put three years to nearly forty million bucks in

926
00:44:13,160 --> 00:44:16,480
Speaker 5: Editingram's pocket. So this isn't necessarily about dragging him. But

927
00:44:16,520 --> 00:44:20,480
Speaker 5: I wonder if inefficient or inconsistent run game combined with

928
00:44:20,560 --> 00:44:24,000
Speaker 5: an O line in total that presents its issues. Maybe

929
00:44:24,000 --> 00:44:26,759
Speaker 5: that's you know, it's it's everyone's in the excuse game

930
00:44:27,040 --> 00:44:29,759
Speaker 5: anyway that you can kind of take the shade or

931
00:44:29,840 --> 00:44:34,400
Speaker 5: full culpability off yourself. There's some natural and inherited inclination

932
00:44:34,480 --> 00:44:37,000
Speaker 5: to do that. So maybe they can look at CJ.

933
00:44:37,080 --> 00:44:41,080
Speaker 5: Stroud and then go yeah, but yeah, But as it

934
00:44:41,120 --> 00:44:43,000
Speaker 5: relates to the O line the run game, the two

935
00:44:43,040 --> 00:44:44,960
Speaker 5: many times for me, I'm with you.

936
00:44:45,040 --> 00:44:46,520
Speaker 1: But Nico Collins isn't healthy.

937
00:44:46,560 --> 00:44:48,840
Speaker 5: Tank Dell has just had two of the most gruesome

938
00:44:48,880 --> 00:44:51,759
Speaker 5: injuries maybe in the history of the league. Digs toward

939
00:44:51,800 --> 00:44:53,800
Speaker 5: his ACL his final year with him, Well.

940
00:44:53,680 --> 00:44:56,319
Speaker 1: They need a quarterback who can run then they need

941
00:44:56,400 --> 00:44:59,840
Speaker 1: a quarterback who can run for his life. I'm just

942
00:45:00,160 --> 00:45:02,720
Speaker 1: rowing a wild card out there, trying to get below

943
00:45:02,760 --> 00:45:03,280
Speaker 1: the surface.

944
00:45:03,360 --> 00:45:05,480
Speaker 5: No, I dig it, I dig it, I would say.

945
00:45:05,600 --> 00:45:08,080
Speaker 5: So it's the Stroud. I wonder what that would cost.

946
00:45:08,280 --> 00:45:12,000
Speaker 5: And then and then Kyler, the creator down in h Town.

947
00:45:12,640 --> 00:45:15,520
Speaker 1: If you tell CJ. Stroud he's not starting, he can't

948
00:45:15,520 --> 00:45:18,760
Speaker 1: be mad. I mean, with all due respect, Davis freaking

949
00:45:18,840 --> 00:45:21,600
Speaker 1: Mills came into the mix and out played him. Yeah,

950
00:45:21,760 --> 00:45:25,040
Speaker 1: so it's worse spitballing right now, Chavis Mills. Though, it's

1031
00:49:31,960 --> 00:49:34,360
Speaker 1: questions in front of me. So I'm rifling through my

1032
00:49:34,480 --> 00:49:38,080
Speaker 1: pages to find the finch questions. Yeah. So I'm like,

1033
00:49:38,360 --> 00:49:43,680
Speaker 1: all right, well, uh, you know, it's like unseasoned, unseasonably

1034
00:49:43,760 --> 00:49:46,680
Speaker 1: warm in Los Angeles. Might have a heat advisory today,

1035
00:49:46,719 --> 00:49:49,160
Speaker 1: and I know you like to go on walks early

1036

00:49:58,920 --> 00:50:02,359
Speaker 5: Finch when ant's going two to fifteen and it's off

1041
00:50:02,360 --> 00:50:04,640
Speaker 5: for him and you're not getting picked me up and

1042
00:50:05,040 --> 00:50:09,480
Speaker 5: you're not stopping he lebron less Lakers squad trouble abound,

1043
00:50:09,560 --> 00:50:12,399
Speaker 5: but I'm sorry, go ahead. Well they can bounce back

1044
00:50:12,400 --> 00:50:15,080
Speaker 5: against the clip Joint tonight. Another late one out West

1045
00:50:15,120 --> 00:50:17,319
Speaker 5: against Kawhi Leonard and the Clippers.

1046
00:50:17,560 --> 00:50:21,520
Speaker 1: Well, look at the Western Conference right now, So let's see,

1047
00:50:21,560 --> 00:50:27,919
Speaker 1: we got seventeen left. The Denver Nuggets, despite having their

1048
00:50:28,000 --> 00:50:33,239
Speaker 1: full compliment Christian Brown is healthy, Joker's healthy, Jamal Murray's

1049
00:50:33,360 --> 00:50:35,759
Speaker 1: nicked up, but he's playing. I think I think he

1050
00:50:35,800 --> 00:50:38,680
Speaker 1: tweaked his ankle a games ago. Yeah, they played last

1051
00:50:38,680 --> 00:50:41,960
Speaker 1: game against Okasee. Didn't play that great though, and they

1052
00:50:42,000 --> 00:50:44,200
Speaker 1: just got Aaron Gordon back and he's played a couple

1053
00:50:44,239 --> 00:50:48,640
Speaker 1: so their full strength terrorism. Well, they've lost to in

1054
00:50:48,680 --> 00:50:51,480
Speaker 1: a row and they're a game behind US. Yep, the

1055
00:50:51,600 --> 00:50:56,880
Speaker 1: Nuggets are a game behind US Phoenix. The Phoenix Suns

1056
00:50:57,000 --> 00:51:00,879
Speaker 1: with Nick Richards and Colin Gillespie are two games behind us.

1057
00:51:01,080 --> 00:51:04,360
Speaker 5: Yeah, what two and a half games separate the third

1058
00:51:04,440 --> 00:51:05,640
Speaker 5: through the seventh seeds.

1059
00:51:05,960 --> 00:51:09,040
Speaker 1: And Houston's gotten weird of late. They've won six of

1060
00:51:09,040 --> 00:51:11,239
Speaker 1: their last ten that they've come back to the pack

1061
00:51:11,280 --> 00:51:14,520
Speaker 1: a little bit. Lakers are surging. They've won three consecutive

1062
00:51:15,360 --> 00:51:20,279
Speaker 1: the San Antonio Spurs and we're on charging. Last night

1063
00:51:20,360 --> 00:51:23,399
Speaker 1: in a very physical and emotional game against Boston, which

1064
00:51:23,400 --> 00:51:26,400
Speaker 1: has Jason Tatum back to play with Jalen Brown, at

1065
00:51:26,480 --> 00:51:29,960
Speaker 1: Brown got tossed, and the Spurs kind of handled the

1066
00:51:29,960 --> 00:51:33,080
Speaker 1: Celtics in the late stages, ran away from them. This

1067
00:51:33,640 --> 00:51:36,160
Speaker 1: is I may need to change my face with the

1068
00:51:36,200 --> 00:51:39,120
Speaker 1: San Antonio Spurs. It's not like I don't think they're

1069
00:51:39,160 --> 00:51:45,520
Speaker 1: good because with Stefan Castle, Devin Vassel De Aaron Fox, Wemby,

1070
00:51:45,719 --> 00:51:48,560
Speaker 1: I mean they had they got a squad, you know.

1071
00:51:48,640 --> 00:51:51,239
Speaker 1: But I just think okay SE's jacking around right now,

1072
00:51:51,440 --> 00:51:53,400
Speaker 1: and I think when Okac puts the pedal to the

1073
00:51:53,440 --> 00:51:56,799
Speaker 1: metal and they get Hartenstein healthy, they are still absolutely

1074
00:51:56,840 --> 00:51:58,800
Speaker 1: the best overall team in the NBA.

1075
00:51:59,040 --> 00:52:00,680
Speaker 2: And they got to get carew So healthy too.

1076
00:52:00,760 --> 00:52:04,320
Speaker 1: He's very important. But these Spurs, man, these Spurs are good.

1077
00:52:04,719 --> 00:52:07,799
Speaker 1: But you ain't lying about these standings right now, I

1078
00:52:07,800 --> 00:52:11,759
Speaker 1: mean the play so we're eight clear of the play in?
