Speaker 5: this immediately if you want to put the work into it.

87
00:05:42,680 --> 00:05:44,080

Speaker 5: You know, you could have Quinn shoot scores, you've not

95
00:06:05,839 --> 00:06:10,800
Speaker 5: seen nothing like the Mighty Quinn. Be a great montage,

96
00:06:10,920 --> 00:06:13,280
Speaker 5: like I probably should have suggested the two after we

97
00:06:13,360 --> 00:06:16,680
Speaker 5: made the trade, and especially after the way he just tea.

98
00:06:17,440 --> 00:06:20,240
Speaker 3: I mean, it's like he didn't skip a beat.

99
00:06:20,279 --> 00:06:22,240
Speaker 5: It's not like he have to get his well, you

100
00:06:22,279 --> 00:06:24,120
Speaker 5: don't get your feet wet on the ice anyways, because

101
00:06:24,160 --> 00:06:25,880
Speaker 5: he are a skates but didn't have to get his

102
00:06:25,960 --> 00:06:29,680
Speaker 5: feet wet, didn't have to you know, adjust to a

103
00:06:29,720 --> 00:06:33,240
Speaker 5: different style of play or new surroundings or you know,

104
00:06:33,320 --> 00:06:35,400
Speaker 5: he didn't have to worry about jet lag or body

105
00:06:35,480 --> 00:06:39,640
Speaker 5: circadian rhythms. How about when Garren went out to pick

106
00:06:39,720 --> 00:06:42,880
Speaker 5: him up in in Leepol's private jet, did you see

107
00:06:42,920 --> 00:06:43,640

108
00:06:43,760 --> 00:06:45,080
Speaker 3: You know, why can't miss a game?

109
00:06:46,400 --> 00:06:50,000
Speaker 1: So he stuck? Maybe the real answers he's becoming a

110
00:06:50,040 --> 00:06:51,080
Speaker 1: minority owner with the Twins?

111
00:06:51,200 --> 00:06:51,400
Speaker 9: Yeah?

112
00:06:51,400 --> 00:06:52,719
Speaker 3: Always is he one of the guys?

113
00:06:52,800 --> 00:06:56,520
Speaker 1: Yeah? Okay, business to take care of you. Because he

114
00:06:56,560 --> 00:06:57,599
Speaker 1: said that, he goes.

115
00:06:57,520 --> 00:07:00,720
Speaker 3: I can't miss a game, and that's I get that.

116
00:07:00,920 --> 00:07:03,200
Speaker 3: I know how he is. But you talk about being

117
00:07:03,240 --> 00:07:06,240
Speaker 3: a rube couldn't miss one game?

118
00:07:07,960 --> 00:07:10,160
Speaker 5: Because why didn't you tell me that when if you're

119
00:07:10,200 --> 00:07:13,240
Speaker 5: in the suite with him, if you get invited, which.

120
00:07:14,520 --> 00:07:16,440
Speaker 3: Have you been invited? Have you sent in the suitep

121
00:07:16,480 --> 00:07:17,240
Speaker 3: before you've been there.

122
00:07:17,320 --> 00:07:20,360
Speaker 10: Right, every year there's a preseason game in which they

123
00:07:20,400 --> 00:07:21,000
Speaker 10: invite the media.

124
00:07:21,040 --> 00:07:24,520
Speaker 5: Okay, but you can't send right extrafe there's each seat

125
00:07:24,560 --> 00:07:26,920
Speaker 5: on either side of him because he's throwing elbows around

126
00:07:27,000 --> 00:07:29,440
Speaker 5: and jumping up and down and doing that whole thing.

127
00:07:29,400 --> 00:07:31,200
Speaker 10: Which he does it for like good luck purposes. I

128
00:07:31,200 --> 00:07:32,600
Speaker 10: would think, after a while, you go, maybe that good

129
00:07:32,680 --> 00:07:34,120
Speaker 10: luck thing ain't working well.

130
00:07:35,760 --> 00:07:37,480
Speaker 3: Give yourself a negatroumeters there.

131
00:07:38,760 --> 00:07:44,120
Speaker 1: Uh hold on, I can do it to myself.

132
00:07:45,280 --> 00:07:48,520
Speaker 10: Ah, the times they aren't changing, because we got quinnacill in.

133
00:07:48,800 --> 00:07:49,920
Speaker 1: We're coming, We're coming.

134
00:07:50,960 --> 00:07:54,680
Speaker 5: I was before the drums started. I like spending some

135
00:07:54,760 --> 00:07:58,360
Speaker 5: time over in the sales stable, right, for several reasons.

136
00:07:58,440 --> 00:08:04,920
Speaker 5: One mostly it's selfish, passed through with faith, family, fairways

137
00:08:04,960 --> 00:08:05,640
Speaker 5: and finances.

138
00:08:06,560 --> 00:08:08,120
Speaker 3: So I'd just spent my time over there.

139
00:08:08,440 --> 00:08:10,960
Speaker 5: Rattle in the cages, and we have we have a

140
00:08:11,040 --> 00:08:14,360
Speaker 5: number of hip now with it, while young kids that

141
00:08:14,520 --> 00:08:19,280
Speaker 5: are that are selling for iHeart and with ratings like this,

142
00:08:19,440 --> 00:08:22,000
Speaker 5: a dog with an out in its mouth could sell

143
00:08:22,040 --> 00:08:26,800
Speaker 5: the fan. So I looked at it, and selmoone I said,

144
00:08:27,520 --> 00:08:30,440
Speaker 5: because he loved saying that dog with an out, he

145
00:08:30,520 --> 00:08:34,160
Speaker 5: said it at his Hall of Fame induction, except he

146
00:08:34,240 --> 00:08:35,800
Speaker 5: did he left out that he was going to say

147
00:08:35,840 --> 00:08:38,120
Speaker 5: the fan. And he didn't you ever notice that because

148
00:08:38,520 --> 00:08:41,280
Speaker 5: his last stop was WCC. He knew he ran all

149
00:08:41,320 --> 00:08:43,440
Speaker 5: the stations here, so he didn't want to single out

150
00:08:43,520 --> 00:08:45,800
Speaker 5: the fan. But in that little clip we have from his, a.

151
00:08:45,840 --> 00:08:47,640
Speaker 3: Dog with a note in his mouth should be able

152
00:08:47,720 --> 00:08:52,280
Speaker 3: to sell those ratings. See it sounds like he you know,

153
00:08:52,360 --> 00:08:54,920
Speaker 3: he knew his dog with an out in his mouth

154
00:08:55,000 --> 00:08:57,960
Speaker 3: could sell the fan, but he changed it. And that's

155
00:08:58,000 --> 00:08:59,760
Speaker 3: when we ran the ads for I know I've.

156
00:08:59,600 --> 00:09:02,600
Speaker 5: Told this before. It's one of my favorites. I said,

157
00:09:03,000 --> 00:09:05,440
Speaker 5: we're running ads on the air looking for sales. Yeah,

158
00:09:05,520 --> 00:09:07,440
Speaker 5: we need some fresh blood in here. I go, why

Speaker 5: don't we just go down to the Humane Society and

160
00:09:09,320 --> 00:09:13,440
Speaker 5: adopt a couple of dogs. That's how he used to laugh.

161
00:09:14,880 --> 00:09:20,559

166
00:09:41,400 --> 00:09:43,280
Speaker 5: the kiddies make it to the playoffs, can you form?

167
00:09:43,360 --> 00:09:43,880
Speaker 9: Not a chance?

168
00:09:44,320 --> 00:09:45,720
Speaker 3: He can't root for anybody in the north.

169
00:09:45,760 --> 00:09:48,480
Speaker 5: And he's like you and that he loved New England

170
00:09:48,559 --> 00:09:51,960
Speaker 5: and he loved Kansas City, New England. Yeah, well when

171
00:09:51,960 --> 00:09:55,640
Speaker 5: they were winning, when they were not now the Brady

172
00:09:55,679 --> 00:09:58,160
Speaker 5: area because he's like like a lot of people where

173
00:09:58,800 --> 00:10:09,120
Speaker 5: he admires dominance, right, he admires. That's the word I'm

174
00:10:09,160 --> 00:10:13,160
Speaker 5: looking for, not dominance, but he I go a dominance worse.

175
00:10:13,200 --> 00:10:14,839
Speaker 1: Yeah, I know you're talking. I can't think of the word.

176
00:10:14,960 --> 00:10:15,160
Speaker 9: Yeah.

177
00:10:15,200 --> 00:10:19,360
Speaker 5: He he likes dynasties. He likes dynasties. I said, well,

178
00:10:19,400 --> 00:10:22,400
Speaker 5: then do you like common And I thought, well, that's

179
00:10:22,440 --> 00:10:25,079
Speaker 5: not a good comparison, Algy. I wouldn't consider us a dynasty.

180
00:10:25,120 --> 00:10:25,800
Speaker 5: We're working on it.

181
00:10:26,800 --> 00:10:30,240
Speaker 3: But I'm glad I'm not that way. Yeah, I'm not

182
00:10:30,400 --> 00:10:31,800
Speaker 3: that way though, I'm really not.

183
00:10:32,080 --> 00:10:34,280
Speaker 5: I I mean I I'm a fraud of the certain

184
00:10:34,280 --> 00:10:35,920
Speaker 5: extens I can't root for Green Bay.

185
00:10:36,880 --> 00:10:37,200
Speaker 11: But like.

186
00:10:39,760 --> 00:10:42,240
Speaker 5: If the kiddies, you know, now that the Vikings are eliminated,

187
00:10:42,640 --> 00:10:45,080
Speaker 5: kitties have they got to go three and oh, neither

188
00:10:45,120 --> 00:10:46,760
Speaker 5: the Bears or Packers go one and two and they're

189
00:10:46,800 --> 00:10:47,800
Speaker 5: in that's how simple it is.

190
00:10:47,880 --> 00:10:49,480
Speaker 3: And both teams could go one and two because they

191
00:10:49,520 --> 00:10:54,320
Speaker 3: have tough schedules. But I could root for the Bears easily.

192
00:10:54,559 --> 00:10:55,520
Speaker 3: And I'm the opposite.

193
00:10:55,800 --> 00:11:00,160
Speaker 5: I I I don't mind watching Kansas City like the

194
00:11:00,240 --> 00:11:03,600
Speaker 5: first big game and then maybe their second big game

195
00:11:03,800 --> 00:11:05,240
Speaker 5: and then maybe the but after a while, it's like,

196
00:11:05,320 --> 00:11:06,120
Speaker 5: I want new blood.

197
00:11:06,120 --> 00:11:08,480
Speaker 3: So I love that Kansas City's out. I I just did.

198
00:11:08,920 --> 00:11:12,240
Speaker 3: I love that case ses out. I saw a note today.

199
00:11:13,000 --> 00:11:15,480
Speaker 5: It's the first time since ninety eight that we haven't

200
00:11:15,520 --> 00:11:21,160
Speaker 5: had a Manning, a Brady or Mahomes in the place,

201
00:11:21,240 --> 00:11:23,120
Speaker 5: And I say, hallo, do you I just I like

202
00:11:23,160 --> 00:11:25,439
Speaker 5: seeing other I want I want the new guard. I

203
00:11:25,480 --> 00:11:27,880
Speaker 5: want new kids to take over. I like watching teams

204
00:11:27,960 --> 00:11:30,480
Speaker 5: that haven't done very well in a number of years.

205
00:11:30,520 --> 00:11:32,040
Speaker 5: And believe it or not, I know you find this

206
00:11:32,160 --> 00:11:37,240
Speaker 5: crazy as much as I. I'm actually rooting for Pittsburgh

207
00:11:37,240 --> 00:11:37,720
Speaker 5: and a RODJ.

208
00:11:38,280 --> 00:11:38,839
Speaker 3: Can you do that?

209
00:11:38,960 --> 00:11:39,240
Speaker 9: I am.

210
00:11:39,280 --> 00:11:41,520
Speaker 3: I'm rooting for a Rock That's right, No, no, no,

211
00:11:41,760 --> 00:11:42,520
Speaker 3: to make the playoffs.

212
00:11:42,880 --> 00:11:43,600
Speaker 1: You're playing this week?

213
00:11:43,600 --> 00:11:45,440
Speaker 5: Well yeah, but well not this week. I'm talking about.

214
00:11:45,440 --> 00:11:46,920
Speaker 5: I want to see them beat the Ravens and get

215
00:11:46,960 --> 00:11:50,000
Speaker 5: to postseason play. Absolutely, I did that. I want to

216
00:11:50,000 --> 00:11:52,840
Speaker 5: see a rod winging it around the old Paul. I mean,

217
00:11:52,840 --> 00:11:54,880
Speaker 5: they're not going to win the Big Game, but used

218
00:11:54,880 --> 00:11:56,640
Speaker 5: to be fun of watching them in postseason play.

219
00:11:57,040 --> 00:11:58,880
Speaker 3: Well, pause will come back up.

220
00:11:58,960 --> 00:12:01,160
Speaker 5: Peek at the purple on the other side of the break,

221
00:12:01,920 --> 00:12:03,840
Speaker 5: and I had a really good tease for peak at

222
00:12:03,880 --> 00:12:10,240
Speaker 5: the purple. Oh, I think the head coach did someone

223
00:12:10,320 --> 00:12:12,600
Speaker 5: or a favor, an old friend.

224
00:12:12,880 --> 00:12:15,640
Speaker 10: And we'll explain on the sidetaking head coach. We're supposed

00:12:16,440 --> 00:12:18,840
Speaker 3: That's right, We'll do that and then we'll peek at

227
00:12:18,840 --> 00:12:20,520
Speaker 3: the purple. We got plenty to get to rock Talk,

Speaker 3: Rosen and much more here in the common rom the fan.

229
00:12:30,120 --> 00:12:30,720
Speaker 1: Babies cry.

230
00:12:30,800 --> 00:12:33,720
Speaker 10: It's normal if you're frustrated, it's okay to step away,

231
00:12:34,000 --> 00:12:36,440
Speaker 10: But never shake a baby. It can kill or cause

00:13:03,000 --> 00:13:08,120
Speaker 3: was It's a good thing. I don't like.

Speaker 3: He also votes in the Hall of Fame.

255
00:14:29,200 --> 00:14:32,880
Speaker 5: Started his career in Canton, Ohio, of all places, wrote

256
00:14:32,880 --> 00:14:35,640
Speaker 5: for the Campton Daily Bugle, and now I write for

257
00:14:35,680 --> 00:14:40,240
Speaker 5: fish Wrap Factory west Side. Today is piece as analysis.

258
00:14:40,520 --> 00:14:45,280
Speaker 5: Vikings will Rekerd with possible boosts from new k ball rules,

259
00:14:46,280 --> 00:14:48,800
Speaker 5: is helping Kickers shatter NFL records. Here's what he writes

260
00:14:48,800 --> 00:14:52,200
Speaker 5: to me, the NFL had four sixty yard field goals

261
00:14:52,240 --> 00:14:57,040
Speaker 5: from nineteen twenty to two thousand and six. Four it's

262
00:14:57,120 --> 00:15:00,120
Speaker 5: had eight and fifteen weeks this season. What's is that

263
00:15:00,240 --> 00:15:03,120
Speaker 5: all about? And it's about the new rules for the

264
00:15:03,240 --> 00:15:09,800
Speaker 5: caball the Vikings long snapper Andy is a dupala dupala,

265
00:15:10,360 --> 00:15:13,640
Speaker 5: He says, quote new CA ball rules certainly hasn't hurt distance.

266
00:15:14,640 --> 00:15:17,480
Speaker 5: For years, teams had only one hour on game day

267
00:15:17,560 --> 00:15:20,080
Speaker 5: to break in three new footballs.

268
00:15:20,160 --> 00:15:21,960
Speaker 3: To be used to kicking pond. Here's what he said.

269
00:15:22,720 --> 00:15:25,600
Speaker 5: What Andy said, Your equipment guys would scramble each week.

270
00:15:25,880 --> 00:15:29,760
Speaker 5: They'd spend forty five minutes breaking in ball one, fifteen

271
00:15:29,800 --> 00:15:32,360
Speaker 5: minutes on ball two, and barely touch ball three. It

272
00:15:32,440 --> 00:15:34,520
Speaker 5: was different in New England during Brady's times because they

273
00:15:34,560 --> 00:15:37,360
Speaker 5: would also spend a few minutes on the regular balls,

274
00:15:37,600 --> 00:15:41,120
Speaker 5: putting the right putting in the right amount of air

275
00:15:41,160 --> 00:15:45,920
Speaker 5: pounder square inch that that Brady preferred. This year, Tenaby,

276
00:15:46,760 --> 00:15:50,720
Speaker 5: each team was given sixty new k balls at the

277
00:15:50,880 --> 00:15:53,800
Speaker 5: start of training camp to break in at their leisure.

278
00:15:54,080 --> 00:15:56,320
Speaker 3: Do you say leisure or leisure? I'm a leisure guy,

279
00:15:56,440 --> 00:15:57,600
Speaker 3: but I like saying leisure.

280
00:15:58,560 --> 00:16:02,080
Speaker 5: This year, each team is given sixty new cave balls

281
00:16:02,680 --> 00:16:05,840
Speaker 5: at the start a training camp to break in at

282
00:16:05,880 --> 00:16:06,360
Speaker 5: their leisure.

283
00:16:06,440 --> 00:16:07,360
Speaker 3: Here's what Andy said.

284
00:16:07,720 --> 00:16:10,320
Speaker 5: You really want to get that brush with the bristles

285
00:16:10,360 --> 00:16:13,520
Speaker 5: and wear down the shine the nubs and use the

286
00:16:13,640 --> 00:16:16,640
Speaker 5: floor to break in the ends, and you want to

287
00:16:16,680 --> 00:16:19,760
Speaker 5: get it real. Sweaty dark ball is a good sign

288
00:16:19,880 --> 00:16:22,320
Speaker 5: you got a good one. And that's where we really

289
00:16:22,360 --> 00:16:29,200
Speaker 5: missed Greg Garrett Bradbury because with his sweaty if you remember,

290
00:16:29,280 --> 00:16:31,760
Speaker 5: he has a sweaty butt. That's what Kirk Cousin said,

291
00:16:32,200 --> 00:16:34,560
Speaker 5: so he would be able to get those k ball

292
00:16:34,680 --> 00:16:36,400
Speaker 5: sweaty wall. We won't even have to go to the caball.

293
00:16:36,800 --> 00:16:38,000
Speaker 5: We just used the ball that was already on the

294
00:16:38,040 --> 00:16:40,960
Speaker 5: field because that one was sweaty. Where did he he's

295
00:16:41,000 --> 00:16:43,920
Speaker 5: in New England. How are they doing field goal kicking wise?

296
00:16:43,960 --> 00:16:51,760
Speaker 5: I wonder I wonderful he's doing all right. The change

297
00:16:51,800 --> 00:16:56,040
Speaker 5: this year came after seventeams, the Vikings, Baltimore, Cleveland, Houston, Philly,

298
00:16:56,400 --> 00:16:59,680
Speaker 5: Las Vegas, and Washington made a proposal to reduce the

299
00:17:00,080 --> 00:17:04,480
Speaker 5: res on equipment staffs on game day. I didn't know

300
00:17:04,560 --> 00:17:06,480
Speaker 5: there was a lot of stress on the equipment staffs

301
00:17:06,520 --> 00:17:09,240
Speaker 5: during game day. I thought you just got to the

302
00:17:09,280 --> 00:17:12,360
Speaker 5: stadium early and you hung up a jersey in each

303
00:17:12,440 --> 00:17:14,760
Speaker 5: guy's locker, whatever color they were wearing, that they better.

304
00:17:14,960 --> 00:17:17,479
Speaker 5: I thought you could start that earlier in the week, right,

305
00:17:17,760 --> 00:17:19,520
Speaker 5: I mean, you kind of know what jersey you're wearing

306
00:17:19,560 --> 00:17:23,040
Speaker 5: before the week starts. Now, maybe on road games because

307
00:17:23,040 --> 00:17:25,479
Speaker 5: you got to pack everything into the steamer trunks, right,

308
00:17:26,400 --> 00:17:28,159
Speaker 5: But I didn't think there was a lot of stress on.

309
00:17:29,800 --> 00:17:33,600
Speaker 3: Equipment. On equipment, people.

310
00:17:36,880 --> 00:17:39,080
Speaker 5: It set rikers as quarterbacks for years have been able

311
00:17:39,119 --> 00:17:41,520
Speaker 5: to get the ball exactly how they like it. We

312
00:17:41,640 --> 00:17:44,840
Speaker 5: know all about that, especially in New England. The league

313
00:17:44,880 --> 00:17:47,800
Speaker 5: did the same for kickers while making things easier on equipment.

314
00:17:47,880 --> 00:17:52,560
Speaker 5: Guys on game day, teams can practice with the caballs

315
00:17:52,600 --> 00:17:54,920
Speaker 5: and use the same ball in up to three games.

316
00:17:54,920 --> 00:17:57,760
Speaker 5: I don't know how they I don't know how they

317
00:17:57,920 --> 00:17:59,840
Speaker 5: monitor that, right, How do they enforce that?

318
00:18:01,720 --> 00:18:01,919
Speaker 3: It does?

319
00:18:01,960 --> 00:18:03,719
Speaker 5: Somebody for the NFL put a little like he has

320
00:18:03,760 --> 00:18:06,200
Speaker 5: a little sharpie and puts a little mark on it

321
00:18:06,200 --> 00:18:08,000
Speaker 5: and says, okay, one.

322
00:18:07,880 --> 00:18:10,280
Speaker 3: Game here, two and three, and then once it's three,

323
00:18:10,320 --> 00:18:10,680
Speaker 3: it's over.

324
00:18:10,840 --> 00:18:10,959
Speaker 9: Right.

325
00:18:16,520 --> 00:18:19,320
Speaker 5: Andy said, we had a favorite ball earlier early this

326
00:18:19,480 --> 00:18:21,320
Speaker 5: year that we took out of the rotation to use

327
00:18:21,359 --> 00:18:25,680
Speaker 5: at green Bay all. So, in other words, they used

328
00:18:25,720 --> 00:18:27,679
Speaker 5: it for like two games and then when we liked

329
00:18:27,760 --> 00:18:30,879
Speaker 5: this ball and for green Bay because we hate green Bay.

330
00:18:30,960 --> 00:18:35,639
Speaker 5: Plus wasn't it at Curly Yeah, so maybe they felt

331
00:18:35,720 --> 00:18:37,720
Speaker 5: like it was a better ball to be used at

332
00:18:38,680 --> 00:18:42,040
Speaker 5: in the uh on the frozen tundra of Curly lambeau Field.

333
00:18:43,680 --> 00:18:46,359
Speaker 5: It says accuracy from longer distances has been trending up

334
00:18:46,359 --> 00:18:49,240
Speaker 5: for years. The record for most fifty yard field goals

335
00:18:49,280 --> 00:18:51,680
Speaker 5: made has been broken in each of the past five seasons.

336
00:18:52,119 --> 00:18:54,160
Speaker 5: A year ago, one hundred and ninety five of two

337
00:18:54,240 --> 00:18:58,119
Speaker 5: hundred and seventy nine attempts were successful, just under seventy percent.

338
00:18:58,840 --> 00:19:03,800
Speaker 5: This season sixty seven point one twenty four.

339
00:19:03,880 --> 00:19:06,760
Speaker 3: The biggest difference this year has been the record eight

340
00:19:07,000 --> 00:19:07,640
Speaker 3: sixty yards.

341
00:19:07,720 --> 00:19:11,040
Speaker 5: So that explains it, because I have I've never wondered aloud.

342
00:19:12,880 --> 00:19:15,639
Speaker 5: I've always just wondered to myself as I and I

343
00:19:15,760 --> 00:19:18,119
Speaker 5: thought it was just here's Koc, the head coach of

344
00:19:18,119 --> 00:19:19,400
Speaker 5: a soon to be a big game world champion.

345
00:19:19,440 --> 00:19:20,080
Speaker 3: I it sounded like.

346
00:19:22,000 --> 00:19:28,440
Speaker 7: Sand By stand by. It good afternoon, guys, you know,

347
00:19:28,760 --> 00:19:32,080
Speaker 7: important week for our team. Looking forward to the challenge

348
00:19:32,080 --> 00:19:34,080
Speaker 7: of going on the road back to back weeks, you know,

349
00:19:34,200 --> 00:19:37,560
Speaker 7: trying to stack a third positive performance in a row

350
00:19:37,560 --> 00:19:38,040
Speaker 7: as a team.

351
00:19:38,320 --> 00:19:40,800
Speaker 9: And uh, you know, got a lot of respect for Mike,

352
00:19:40,880 --> 00:19:41,760
Speaker 9: known him a long time.

353
00:19:42,720 --> 00:19:44,560
Speaker 7: I think he's doing a really good job in in

354
00:19:45,160 --> 00:19:47,280
Speaker 7: uh you know, in in his current role as the

355
00:19:47,320 --> 00:19:48,040
Speaker 7: head coach there.

356
00:19:48,080 --> 00:19:49,480
Speaker 9: And guys are playing hard.

357
00:19:49,520 --> 00:19:52,600
Speaker 7: They've got a lot of really good young players, aggressive

358
00:19:52,720 --> 00:19:54,800
Speaker 7: talented defense we talked about a little bit earlier in

359
00:19:54,800 --> 00:19:57,960
Speaker 7: the week, and you know, we need to continue to

360
00:19:58,040 --> 00:20:01,360
Speaker 7: play in all three phases, you know, the style of game,

361
00:20:01,640 --> 00:20:05,960
Speaker 7: and and most importantly the consistency factor that we've found

362
00:20:06,840 --> 00:20:09,879
Speaker 7: as a team as of late so important for us.

363
00:20:10,960 --> 00:20:13,960
Speaker 9: We will open up Gavin Bartholomew's window.

364
00:20:13,720 --> 00:20:18,359
Speaker 7: Today so he can begin, uh practicing, and then in

365
00:20:18,440 --> 00:20:21,320
Speaker 7: addition to Jonathan Garnard, who will head to injury deserve

366
00:20:22,440 --> 00:20:26,320
Speaker 7: Josh Mattelis, did you know we've just been evaluating that

367
00:20:26,400 --> 00:20:28,639
Speaker 7: shoulder kind of on a weekend and week out basis,

368
00:20:28,760 --> 00:20:31,760
Speaker 7: and got home late Sunday and then you know, through

369
00:20:31,840 --> 00:20:35,000
Speaker 7: some of the you know, the medical evaluations on Monday

370
00:20:35,040 --> 00:20:37,280
Speaker 7: and into yesterday, you know, it's been determined he's going

371
00:20:37,320 --> 00:20:41,080
Speaker 7: to get his shoulder fixed as well, just not not

372
00:20:41,280 --> 00:20:44,560
Speaker 7: the you know, stable enough to you know, from a

373
00:20:44,640 --> 00:20:47,440
Speaker 7: medical perspective, and Tyler and his group and our doctors

374
00:20:47,520 --> 00:20:51,119
Speaker 7: and Josh feel like this is the right time to

375
00:20:51,600 --> 00:20:55,480
Speaker 7: not risk possibly injuring it, you know, anymore, and go

376
00:20:55,520 --> 00:20:58,480
Speaker 7: ahead and get that thing fixed. So can't you know,

377
00:20:58,840 --> 00:21:02,200
Speaker 7: kind of along the same lines as Jag one of

378
00:21:02,280 --> 00:21:05,280
Speaker 7: our one of our captains and a guy that you know,

379
00:21:05,359 --> 00:21:08,080
Speaker 7: I couldnt respect more for the toughness he's shown playing

380
00:21:08,960 --> 00:21:11,800
Speaker 7: with that injury, you know. Here as we've kind of

381
00:21:11,840 --> 00:21:15,080
Speaker 7: approached the tail end of the season and just pushed

382
00:21:15,080 --> 00:21:17,440
Speaker 7: through a lot this year, continuing to lead at such

383
00:21:17,480 --> 00:21:19,400
Speaker 7: a high standard, and both.

384
00:21:19,240 --> 00:21:21,440
Speaker 9: Those guys are going to be heavily involved still.

385
00:21:21,280 --> 00:21:23,800
Speaker 7: Around our team in the locker room and continue to

386
00:21:23,840 --> 00:21:25,560
Speaker 7: push this team to try to finish the way we

387
00:21:25,640 --> 00:21:30,119
Speaker 7: want to here, you know, stacking some good December performances

388
00:21:30,160 --> 00:21:31,680
Speaker 7: on what we were able to do in December a

389
00:21:31,800 --> 00:21:35,399
Speaker 7: year ago, and that's that's that's our goal. And winning

390
00:21:35,440 --> 00:21:38,800
Speaker 7: in December is always important for any organization, even in

391
00:21:39,040 --> 00:21:40,879
Speaker 7: even in years where maybe it might not lead to

392
00:21:40,920 --> 00:21:44,119
Speaker 7: a ticket into the dance. And we know that, but

393
00:21:44,240 --> 00:21:48,000
Speaker 7: we also know how important it is to stack back

394
00:21:48,040 --> 00:21:50,320
Speaker 7: to back years of playing well in December for what

395
00:21:50,400 --> 00:21:53,280
Speaker 7: it will mean moving forward for us as an organization.

396
00:21:54,400 --> 00:21:54,800
Speaker 1: Than Kevil.

397
00:21:54,840 --> 00:21:56,680
Speaker 10: With Josh is injury, Just who do you expect to

398
00:21:56,760 --> 00:21:58,199
Speaker 10: step up defensively for him?

399
00:21:58,520 --> 00:22:02,800
Speaker 7: Yeah, I think obviously, you know, Harry doing the things

400
00:22:02,840 --> 00:22:05,520
Speaker 7: that he's he does will not change. But I think

401
00:22:05,520 --> 00:22:07,600
Speaker 7: you'll see Jay warden a little in a little bit

402
00:22:07,640 --> 00:22:09,720
Speaker 7: more of some of those packages.

403
00:22:09,760 --> 00:22:11,480
Speaker 9: Obviously we've tried to get Jay Ward.

404
00:22:11,320 --> 00:22:13,800
Speaker 7: On the field a little bit more in different circumstances,

405
00:22:14,320 --> 00:22:16,399
Speaker 7: you know, at the corner position, at the safety position

406
00:22:16,520 --> 00:22:19,320
Speaker 7: here and there, just by the type of season he's

407
00:22:19,359 --> 00:22:21,680
Speaker 7: had and the growth that he's had. So I think

408
00:22:21,720 --> 00:22:24,160
Speaker 7: it'll be a great opportunity for him to continue kind

409
00:22:24,200 --> 00:22:27,240
Speaker 7: of building upon the positive things he's been doing. And

410
00:22:27,320 --> 00:22:30,480
Speaker 7: then obviously THEO in the back end kind of in

411
00:22:30,600 --> 00:22:34,280
Speaker 7: his normal role in the deep part of the field.

412
00:22:34,400 --> 00:22:37,520
Speaker 7: So it's really a Jay Ward thing and something that

413
00:22:37,960 --> 00:22:40,560
Speaker 7: I know Josh will be right there with him. He'll

414
00:22:40,560 --> 00:22:42,280
Speaker 7: probably be you know, on the field. We'll probably have

415
00:22:42,320 --> 00:22:45,600
Speaker 7: to hold him back from being out there, you know,

416
00:22:45,680 --> 00:22:47,879
Speaker 7: as the player coach that you have the feel of

417
00:22:48,000 --> 00:22:50,879
Speaker 7: with his leadership, and his impact on our team in general.

418
00:22:50,960 --> 00:22:53,520
Speaker 4: With players in this stretchment that are going through injuries,

419
00:22:53,600 --> 00:22:56,560
Speaker 4: I know the medical department is probably leading those decisions.

420
00:22:57,080 --> 00:22:59,199
Speaker 9: How much of that comes out of a player making a.

421
00:22:59,280 --> 00:22:59,560
Speaker 7: Call of.

422
00:23:01,760 --> 00:23:04,080
Speaker 9: No, it's it's a it's a medical thing.

423
00:23:04,200 --> 00:23:06,760
Speaker 7: It's a it's kind of where they're at from a

424
00:23:06,840 --> 00:23:11,560
Speaker 7: standpoint of, you know, the conversations that go on each

425
00:23:11,600 --> 00:23:13,800
Speaker 7: and every one of these Mondays and tuesdays after some

426
00:23:13,920 --> 00:23:16,040
Speaker 7: of these games, and these guys have been toughing it

427
00:23:16,080 --> 00:23:19,160
Speaker 7: out and trying to do everything they can. But yeah,

428
00:23:19,200 --> 00:23:22,479
Speaker 7: it's it's more medical, medical based decision than anything, as

429
00:23:22,560 --> 00:23:26,639
Speaker 7: most of, if not all, those decisions are, and in

430
00:23:26,680 --> 00:23:28,960
Speaker 7: the end, the player and and that group kind of

431
00:23:29,000 --> 00:23:32,120
Speaker 7: getting together and deciding what's best for them.

432
00:23:32,640 --> 00:23:34,960
Speaker 4: Christian Narrasa, you guys get a point on all where

433
00:23:34,960 --> 00:23:36,880
Speaker 4: you think about shutting him down to the years.

434
00:23:37,160 --> 00:23:38,800
Speaker 7: I say, I think right now, we're just in the

435
00:23:38,840 --> 00:23:41,160
Speaker 7: mindset of, you know, taking it a day at a time,

436
00:23:41,320 --> 00:23:45,919
Speaker 7: and obviously Christian has constant dialogue with our medical staff

437
00:23:46,000 --> 00:23:48,680
Speaker 7: and and Tyler and his group to to just kind

438
00:23:48,720 --> 00:23:51,680
Speaker 7: of chart the best path moving forward really on a

439
00:23:51,800 --> 00:23:53,080
Speaker 7: day to day basis right now.

440
00:23:54,040 --> 00:23:59,080
Speaker 9: But if anything changes with that, we'll we'll definitely update you. Yeah,

441
00:23:59,119 --> 00:23:59,800
Speaker 9: it was coming off.

442
00:23:59,720 --> 00:24:01,800
Speaker 7: The Lake game on Sunday and late in the year,

443
00:24:02,720 --> 00:24:06,040
Speaker 7: so he will he will not take part today in

444
00:24:06,200 --> 00:24:07,480
Speaker 7: that just with these.

445
00:24:07,359 --> 00:24:09,439
Speaker 9: Walk throughs were out there for a good chunk of time.

446
00:24:09,480 --> 00:24:12,639
Speaker 7: We actually get more plays in this setting than we

447
00:24:12,760 --> 00:24:16,600
Speaker 7: do when we're practicing full speed, so we'll try to

448
00:24:16,680 --> 00:24:20,680
Speaker 7: maximize that time. And you know, he'll, you know, justin school,

449
00:24:20,720 --> 00:24:23,960
Speaker 7: will take take a lot of those reps, but we'll

450
00:24:23,960 --> 00:24:25,160
Speaker 7: get Blake some reps as well.

451
00:24:25,640 --> 00:24:25,800
Speaker 3: Ken.

452
00:24:25,840 --> 00:24:28,879
Speaker 11: When he has brought Eric Wilson back this year, what

453
00:24:29,000 --> 00:24:32,000
Speaker 11: was your expectations for him and then what's allowed him

454
00:24:32,000 --> 00:24:32,320
Speaker 11: to play.

455
00:24:33,400 --> 00:24:37,160
Speaker 7: I just remember coming away from both of our games

456
00:24:37,240 --> 00:24:40,400
Speaker 7: last year against Green Bay thinking, you know, I obviously

457
00:24:40,560 --> 00:24:44,000
Speaker 7: wasn't here with with you will previously, but I just

458
00:24:44,080 --> 00:24:46,280
Speaker 7: remember hearing the way people talked about him, the type

459
00:24:46,320 --> 00:24:49,240
Speaker 7: of person he was, the you know, the physicality he

460
00:24:49,320 --> 00:24:50,880
Speaker 7: played with the football.

461
00:24:50,960 --> 00:24:53,640
Speaker 9: IQ. I was excited about.

462
00:24:53,440 --> 00:24:56,480
Speaker 7: The idea of bringing him back, just knowing that we

463
00:24:56,560 --> 00:24:58,680
Speaker 7: had competed against him, and he jumped off the tape

464
00:24:58,720 --> 00:25:00,760
Speaker 7: to me, you know, playing a many snaps as he

465
00:25:00,800 --> 00:25:03,240
Speaker 7: did last year for Green Bay and just wanted to

466
00:25:03,240 --> 00:25:04,840
Speaker 7: see if it would be possible to get a player

467
00:25:05,000 --> 00:25:08,920
Speaker 7: like that in that linebacker room. And and he's he

468
00:25:09,080 --> 00:25:12,040
Speaker 7: has exceeded you know, all of you know, my own

469
00:25:12,119 --> 00:25:15,239
Speaker 7: personal expectations, which were really high for him. I can

470
00:25:15,320 --> 00:25:17,560
Speaker 7: remember talking to him when he was making his decision,

471
00:25:17,920 --> 00:25:20,919
Speaker 7: because there was multiple suitors kind of talking to him

472
00:25:20,960 --> 00:25:24,680
Speaker 7: about playing for them, and I just thought, you know, hey,

473
00:25:25,600 --> 00:25:28,960
Speaker 7: your ability to play this game both physically but also

474
00:25:29,040 --> 00:25:31,680
Speaker 7: above the neck too, is a perfect fit for what

475
00:25:31,880 --> 00:25:34,440
Speaker 7: Flow and his guys do, and and I think it could.

476
00:25:34,240 --> 00:25:35,320
Speaker 9: Be a really really good fit.

477
00:25:36,000 --> 00:25:39,400
Speaker 7: And he agreed, and and he's made that all come

478
00:25:39,440 --> 00:25:42,560
Speaker 7: to life by him and his play and really assuming

479
00:25:42,600 --> 00:25:44,239
Speaker 7: a leadership role in a lot of ways on our

480
00:25:44,280 --> 00:25:46,359
Speaker 7: team along with Cash and some of our other guys

481
00:25:46,920 --> 00:25:49,000
Speaker 7: right up there with you know, Harry Mattelis and jg

482
00:25:49,119 --> 00:25:49,880
Speaker 7: as our captains.

483
00:25:50,359 --> 00:25:53,280
Speaker 12: Kevin Monday you might have mentioned Ryan Kelly came out

484
00:25:53,320 --> 00:25:54,560
Speaker 12: of the game with something is.

485
00:25:54,920 --> 00:25:56,680
Speaker 9: Yeah, he's just a little niece soreness.

486
00:25:57,720 --> 00:25:59,960
Speaker 7: You know, we'll be we'll be monitoring him throughout the work,

487
00:26:00,359 --> 00:26:05,120
Speaker 7: but you know, he's he's really highlighting just since he's returned.

488
00:26:05,840 --> 00:26:08,960
Speaker 7: You know what that's meant for our offense, and just's

489
00:26:09,119 --> 00:26:12,960
Speaker 7: he's playing physical, he's total command. So obviously a guy

490
00:26:13,000 --> 00:26:15,520
Speaker 7: with that kind of experience. You know, you're really at

491
00:26:15,560 --> 00:26:17,399
Speaker 7: this point in the year just trying to navigate a

492
00:26:17,480 --> 00:26:21,000
Speaker 7: path to get him prepared to play, but also make

493
00:26:21,080 --> 00:26:22,560
Speaker 7: sure we get him to the game feeling as good

494
00:26:22,560 --> 00:26:22,919
Speaker 7: as we can.

495
00:26:23,359 --> 00:26:25,840
Speaker 12: You mentioned abdual Carter, but just what do you see

496
00:26:25,920 --> 00:26:27,840
Speaker 12: on tape with the challenge that he presents.

497
00:26:28,040 --> 00:26:30,439
Speaker 9: Yeah, well, first and foremost, I think Brian Burns.

498
00:26:30,720 --> 00:26:34,040
Speaker 7: You know, if if Miles Garrett wasn't sacking everybody, I think,

499
00:26:34,280 --> 00:26:36,040
Speaker 7: you know, the whole league would probably be talking about

500
00:26:36,119 --> 00:26:40,400
Speaker 7: Brian Burns a little bit more. You can just such

501
00:26:40,400 --> 00:26:46,280
Speaker 7: an elite athlete, explosive, has really developed his total repertoire

502
00:26:46,440 --> 00:26:48,840
Speaker 7: pass rush moves. He's physical on the early down, so

503
00:26:48,960 --> 00:26:52,520
Speaker 7: that's obviously a starting point. And then the talent jumps

504
00:26:52,560 --> 00:26:55,280
Speaker 7: off the tape with abdual Carter, and you can see it.

505
00:26:55,359 --> 00:26:56,919
Speaker 9: You can see it evaluating them.

506
00:26:57,600 --> 00:27:00,440
Speaker 7: Last year before, you know, before the draft, we knew

507
00:27:00,440 --> 00:27:03,760
Speaker 7: he would be you know, along off the board, you know,

508
00:27:03,840 --> 00:27:07,040
Speaker 7: by the time we picked. But what I thought was

509
00:27:07,160 --> 00:27:10,440
Speaker 7: really really impressive though watching him was the versatility of

510
00:27:10,600 --> 00:27:13,160
Speaker 7: being able to line up you know, on the edge

511
00:27:13,359 --> 00:27:16,320
Speaker 7: on the interior. He plays off the ball and looks

512
00:27:16,359 --> 00:27:19,320
Speaker 7: incredibly comfortable doing that. So you know, you really see

513
00:27:19,320 --> 00:27:21,479
Speaker 7: a guy, you know, coming into his own here as

514
00:27:21,560 --> 00:27:24,280
Speaker 7: the experience is kind of stacked up for him.

515
00:27:24,359 --> 00:27:25,639
Speaker 9: And we've got to know.

516
00:27:25,680 --> 00:27:27,920
Speaker 7: Where both those guys are, you know, and and it's

517
00:27:28,840 --> 00:27:31,280
Speaker 7: it's an easy week to you know, look at their

518
00:27:31,359 --> 00:27:32,840
Speaker 7: defense and say, we got to know where a lot

519
00:27:32,880 --> 00:27:36,040
Speaker 7: of guys are ninety seven. You know, there's very few,

520
00:27:36,680 --> 00:27:38,679
Speaker 7: very few guys. We just played a really good one,

521
00:27:38,720 --> 00:27:41,240
Speaker 7: a really good group in Dallas. But you know, I'd

522
00:27:41,280 --> 00:27:43,480
Speaker 7: put this group right there as far as the totality

523
00:27:43,520 --> 00:27:46,560
Speaker 7: of their front with the edge players, and that's not

524
00:27:46,680 --> 00:27:48,200
Speaker 7: even its possible.

525
00:27:48,240 --> 00:27:50,400
Speaker 9: They get they get Thiboeau back as well.

526
00:27:50,560 --> 00:27:55,359
Speaker 7: So they've got a very deep group, athletic, explosive twidgy

527
00:27:55,480 --> 00:27:58,040
Speaker 7: and then they've got the power and the size inside

528
00:27:58,800 --> 00:28:00,760
Speaker 7: to really disrupt a lot of things offenses.

529
00:28:00,840 --> 00:28:05,480
Speaker 11: Do Dallas Turner as he steps into that Jonathan Grenard

530
00:28:05,560 --> 00:28:06,480
Speaker 11: role for the remainder of.

531
00:28:06,480 --> 00:28:09,000
Speaker 7: The year, Yeah, I think you know, you look at Dallas'

532
00:28:09,160 --> 00:28:12,320
Speaker 7: year and he's been ascending. In my opinion, throughout the

533
00:28:12,440 --> 00:28:16,320
Speaker 7: year and really being asked to do totally two totally

534
00:28:16,640 --> 00:28:19,320
Speaker 7: separate jobs at different points in time, whether that was

535
00:28:19,720 --> 00:28:23,160
Speaker 7: stepping in for Gink that's a very unique role here

536
00:28:23,320 --> 00:28:25,280
Speaker 7: and then you know, at times getting to step in

537
00:28:25,440 --> 00:28:28,359
Speaker 7: for for JG here, where it's I think it's a

538
00:28:28,359 --> 00:28:30,919
Speaker 7: little bit more of a natural fit in that position,

539
00:28:31,200 --> 00:28:33,280
Speaker 7: just you know, you know what we call that rush

540
00:28:33,400 --> 00:28:36,840
Speaker 7: position a little bit more going forward, his play style,

541
00:28:36,960 --> 00:28:40,800
Speaker 7: play strength, his athleticism, I think he's got a great opportunity,

542
00:28:41,400 --> 00:28:43,560
Speaker 7: you know, and he's been him and JG have become

543
00:28:43,640 --> 00:28:45,520
Speaker 7: really close, which has been awesome to see.

544
00:28:46,160 --> 00:28:47,480
Speaker 9: And that's one of the things you know.

545
00:28:47,600 --> 00:28:50,520
Speaker 7: In my dialogue with JG this week of like how

546
00:28:50,600 --> 00:28:53,160
Speaker 7: excited he is to to kind of, you know, now

547
00:28:53,440 --> 00:28:57,280
Speaker 7: be able to take like an absolute role with Dallas,

548
00:28:57,480 --> 00:28:59,760
Speaker 7: knowing that he can't be out there himself, but he

549
00:28:59,800 --> 00:29:02,240
Speaker 7: can certainly have an impact on Dallas.

550
00:29:02,360 --> 00:29:03,680
Speaker 9: And that's just the type of people that.

551
00:29:04,200 --> 00:29:06,880
Speaker 7: Jonathan Gernardin and Josh mctelis are, and they're going to

552
00:29:06,920 --> 00:29:09,400
Speaker 7: be Their impact is still going to be massive for

553
00:29:09,600 --> 00:29:10,920
Speaker 7: us here over these next three weeks.

554
00:29:11,360 --> 00:29:14,680
Speaker 3: And we talk a lot about the adjustments to offense

555
00:29:14,880 --> 00:29:15,360
Speaker 3: things like that.

556
00:29:15,840 --> 00:29:18,600
Speaker 12: How do you feel like this offense has sort of

557
00:29:18,760 --> 00:29:20,959
Speaker 12: morphed throughout the year with some of the different challenges

558
00:29:21,000 --> 00:29:23,120
Speaker 12: you've dealt with to get to this point where JJ

559
00:29:23,280 --> 00:29:24,960
Speaker 12: has looked comfortable in the last two weeks.

560
00:29:25,200 --> 00:29:27,280
Speaker 7: Yeah, I think, you know, it's a lot of it

561
00:29:27,360 --> 00:29:29,920
Speaker 7: has been just navigating the group up front throughout the year,

562
00:29:30,800 --> 00:29:33,400
Speaker 7: depending on the opponent, depending on you know, things we

563
00:29:33,480 --> 00:29:36,920
Speaker 7: need to make sure we you know, still put together

564
00:29:37,000 --> 00:29:39,640
Speaker 7: in a competitive way where we're playing against maybe some

565
00:29:39,720 --> 00:29:43,080
Speaker 7: elite rushes without our total group up there upfront. We've

566
00:29:43,080 --> 00:29:46,760
Speaker 7: had to navigate that, But yeah, I think we've you know,

567
00:29:46,920 --> 00:29:49,360
Speaker 7: it's all part of staying true to the foundation of

568
00:29:50,000 --> 00:29:51,720
Speaker 7: a lot of the things that we do, maybe just

569
00:29:51,800 --> 00:29:54,280
Speaker 7: doing it out of you know, different personnel groupings and

570
00:29:54,760 --> 00:29:59,000
Speaker 7: then trying to pinpoint each week, you know, the benefit

571
00:29:59,200 --> 00:30:01,960
Speaker 7: of of running plays out of certain groupings, and a

572
00:30:02,000 --> 00:30:04,800
Speaker 7: lot of it has been has coincided with being able

573
00:30:04,800 --> 00:30:07,640
Speaker 7: to run the football and try to stay efficient so

574
00:30:07,800 --> 00:30:10,080
Speaker 7: that you know, it's it's it's great to be able

575
00:30:10,120 --> 00:30:12,000
Speaker 7: to put some of those bigger groupings out there, but

576
00:30:12,320 --> 00:30:16,160
Speaker 7: it's very very much an easy thing to do when

577
00:30:16,160 --> 00:30:18,320
Speaker 7: you're in second and six or less, and the run

578
00:30:18,440 --> 00:30:21,520
Speaker 7: pass scales don't tip one way or the other, and

579
00:30:21,600 --> 00:30:25,200
Speaker 7: you can truly be multiple out of those groupings. The

580
00:30:25,400 --> 00:30:27,960
Speaker 7: second and ten pluses, you can put whatever grouping out

581
00:30:27,960 --> 00:30:29,680
Speaker 7: there you want. But a lot of times the defense

582
00:30:29,680 --> 00:30:32,680
Speaker 7: has already put their nickel or dime defense out there.

583
00:30:32,800 --> 00:30:34,640
Speaker 9: So I think it all kind of works together.

584
00:30:35,560 --> 00:30:37,880
Speaker 7: But yeah, I think, you know, getting c J Ham,

585
00:30:38,520 --> 00:30:41,640
Speaker 7: you know, back and going, you know, allowing us to

586
00:30:41,680 --> 00:30:44,960
Speaker 7: have some of those you know, backfield sets, and then

587
00:30:45,120 --> 00:30:46,880
Speaker 7: you know, obviously with the depth, we feel like we

588
00:30:46,960 --> 00:30:50,680
Speaker 7: have at tight end activating that group all well, knowing

589
00:30:50,840 --> 00:30:54,719
Speaker 7: that you know, when called upon justin Jordan and SPEEDI

590
00:30:54,760 --> 00:30:57,320
Speaker 7: are all making plays at the receiver position, and you know,

591
00:30:57,360 --> 00:30:59,239
Speaker 7: we're activating our backs a little bit as well too,

592
00:30:59,640 --> 00:31:02,880
Speaker 7: running past as much as we possibly can. So it's

593
00:31:02,920 --> 00:31:05,320
Speaker 7: a complete kind of you know, I don't I don't

594
00:31:05,360 --> 00:31:07,520
Speaker 7: really know if you can point to one particular area.

595
00:31:08,160 --> 00:31:10,640
Speaker 7: I know that becomes a job requirement for you guys,

596
00:31:10,720 --> 00:31:14,040
Speaker 7: but unfortunately that's not one for me, so I would

597
00:31:14,080 --> 00:31:14,640
Speaker 7: just leave it at that.

598
00:31:15,240 --> 00:31:17,960
Speaker 9: Can You talked last week about Jordan Addison's growth on

599
00:31:18,040 --> 00:31:18,440
Speaker 9: the field.

600
00:31:18,640 --> 00:31:21,160
Speaker 12: Curious what your assessment is of him off the field

601
00:31:21,240 --> 00:31:23,280
Speaker 12: and his security wise and that sort of thing as

602
00:31:23,320 --> 00:31:23,920
Speaker 12: the season has.

603
00:31:23,840 --> 00:31:26,600
Speaker 9: Kind of come. Yeah, I think it's a great question.

604
00:31:26,720 --> 00:31:30,120
Speaker 7: And I think you know, throughout the time he was

605
00:31:30,240 --> 00:31:32,600
Speaker 7: forced to be away from us early on in the year,

606
00:31:34,000 --> 00:31:36,160
Speaker 7: you know, he before going into it, knowing that it

607
00:31:36,240 --> 00:31:37,160
Speaker 7: was kind of coming.

608
00:31:37,800 --> 00:31:40,040
Speaker 9: There was really a lot of dialogue there about you.

609
00:31:40,080 --> 00:31:43,080
Speaker 7: Know, kind of the expectations and then coming out of that,

610
00:31:43,400 --> 00:31:45,400
Speaker 7: just the excitement of having him back in the building

611
00:31:45,920 --> 00:31:49,680
Speaker 7: and then kind of the roadmap for him to continue

612
00:31:49,760 --> 00:31:52,280
Speaker 7: to grow and and you know on the field as well,

613
00:31:52,400 --> 00:31:55,760
Speaker 7: most importantly as off and he's done that, he's really

614
00:31:55,840 --> 00:31:58,840
Speaker 7: assumed he's it's different because he's not the.

615
00:31:58,880 --> 00:32:00,360
Speaker 9: Most vocal guy the world.

616
00:32:00,440 --> 00:32:03,280
Speaker 7: But as I've talked to him about, as he grows

617
00:32:03,400 --> 00:32:07,320
Speaker 7: and and kind of gains experience and you know, matures

618
00:32:07,320 --> 00:32:09,200
Speaker 7: a little bit, which is naturally came into the league

619
00:32:09,200 --> 00:32:12,200
Speaker 7: as a very young player that can be a real,

620
00:32:12,680 --> 00:32:14,880
Speaker 7: real useful thing as a great teammate that he is

621
00:32:15,000 --> 00:32:18,000
Speaker 7: to other guys, and you feel that a little bit.

622
00:32:18,120 --> 00:32:22,080
Speaker 7: You just feel his energy, the positivity every day. You know,

623
00:32:22,160 --> 00:32:26,320
Speaker 7: he's got a million dollar smile and energy and makes

624
00:32:26,360 --> 00:32:28,000
Speaker 7: our team better on a daily basis.

625
00:32:28,040 --> 00:32:28,640
Speaker 9: By bringing that.

626
00:32:28,840 --> 00:32:31,320
Speaker 7: When you compare that with what Justin brings to our team,

627
00:32:31,720 --> 00:32:34,120
Speaker 7: it's a pretty dynamic, you know, a group of guys,

628
00:32:34,160 --> 00:32:36,280
Speaker 7: and that's not even talking about you know, Speedy and

629
00:32:36,360 --> 00:32:36,960
Speaker 7: what he's brought.

630
00:32:37,280 --> 00:32:40,640
Speaker 11: Kevin Naylor's development been linear and then it's just every

631
00:32:40,720 --> 00:32:42,560
Speaker 11: year he seems like he gets a little bit better.

632
00:32:42,680 --> 00:32:42,880
Speaker 9: Yeah.

633
00:32:43,200 --> 00:32:46,560
Speaker 7: Really, I mean I can remember early on, even at

634
00:32:46,600 --> 00:32:49,480
Speaker 7: rookie Minnie camp and when he first got here. It

635
00:32:49,600 --> 00:32:51,920
Speaker 7: feels like a long time ago, but it really isn't.

636
00:32:52,040 --> 00:32:54,560
Speaker 7: And you can feel his physical impact, his ability to

637
00:32:54,640 --> 00:32:57,880
Speaker 7: get open, catch the ball, his willingness to be a

638
00:32:57,960 --> 00:33:01,960
Speaker 7: three down player and potentially assume that inside position. The

639
00:33:02,120 --> 00:33:04,160
Speaker 7: only thing that ever held him back was just staying

640
00:33:04,360 --> 00:33:06,440
Speaker 7: staying healthy. And now that he's been able to do

641
00:33:06,600 --> 00:33:09,440
Speaker 7: that for a pretty consistent amount of time, I think

642
00:33:09,480 --> 00:33:12,560
Speaker 7: we've all seen what he's capable of doing and why

643
00:33:12,640 --> 00:33:15,360
Speaker 7: we were so excited about getting them even where we did,

644
00:33:15,480 --> 00:33:18,360
Speaker 7: and just the development journey of having a coach like

645
00:33:18,440 --> 00:33:21,959
Speaker 7: Keenan McCardell and being in our offense and system.

646
00:33:22,360 --> 00:33:23,160
Speaker 9: He can play all.

647
00:33:23,120 --> 00:33:25,320
Speaker 7: Three spots, he can do just about any job. He

648
00:33:25,400 --> 00:33:28,440
Speaker 7: can win versus man coverage, he's got great feel for

649
00:33:28,840 --> 00:33:31,240
Speaker 7: his ownes and and and then he's proven now he

650
00:33:31,320 --> 00:33:35,760
Speaker 7: can make contested catches with some huge, huge plays Sunday night.

651
00:33:35,840 --> 00:33:37,680
Speaker 7: But you go back to Detroit and the end of

652
00:33:37,760 --> 00:33:40,719
Speaker 7: game play there, and even going back to last year

653
00:33:40,760 --> 00:33:43,600
Speaker 7: when he had to step in uh for for Jordan

654
00:33:43,680 --> 00:33:45,560
Speaker 7: when he was had his ankle early on in the year.

655
00:33:45,720 --> 00:33:49,840
Speaker 7: He just made plays and has just continued to you know,

656
00:33:50,200 --> 00:33:51,560
Speaker 7: have that upward trajectory.

657
00:33:51,600 --> 00:33:53,040
Speaker 9: And I'm really really proud of him.

658
00:33:53,080 --> 00:33:55,360
Speaker 7: And it's a great example of what you know, we

659
00:33:55,480 --> 00:33:57,680
Speaker 7: hope to do with young players of guys coming in

660
00:33:58,880 --> 00:34:01,040
Speaker 7: you know, maybe where there's not a clear path early

661
00:34:01,160 --> 00:34:03,680
Speaker 7: for a defined role, but there's absolutely clear path for

662
00:34:04,280 --> 00:34:07,520
Speaker 7: growth and development and being ready when your numbers called

663
00:34:07,600 --> 00:34:10,440
Speaker 7: upon and speed. He's done everything we've ever asked to

664
00:34:10,520 --> 00:34:12,960
Speaker 7: him and more so, really really happy and proud of him.

665
00:34:13,120 --> 00:34:15,480
Speaker 9: You mentioned the relationship with my Cata or where did

666
00:34:15,560 --> 00:34:16,440
Speaker 9: you get to know?

667
00:34:17,280 --> 00:34:19,760
Speaker 7: Yeah, we were you know, we're both i think playing

668
00:34:19,880 --> 00:34:22,759
Speaker 7: around the same time, but just over the years, you know,

669
00:34:22,960 --> 00:34:25,640
Speaker 7: whether you know when he was in Kansas City or

670
00:34:26,560 --> 00:34:29,319
Speaker 7: seeing him at the Combine and spending some time with him,

671
00:34:29,480 --> 00:34:31,560
Speaker 7: you know, his former quarterbacks kind of getting into this,

672
00:34:31,800 --> 00:34:36,279
Speaker 7: and you know, there's unique relationships your form along the way,

673
00:34:36,400 --> 00:34:39,200
Speaker 7: and just staying in touch with him or a guy

674
00:34:39,280 --> 00:34:41,480
Speaker 7: like Ken Dorsey seeing him last week, you know, and

675
00:34:41,960 --> 00:34:45,120
Speaker 7: doing well in Dallas, and then obviously you know it's

676
00:34:45,120 --> 00:34:49,520
Speaker 7: been well well charted my multiple involuntary stops around the

677
00:34:49,600 --> 00:34:51,160
Speaker 7: league where I got to know a lot of folks.

678
00:34:51,239 --> 00:34:55,200
Speaker 7: So there's a lot of different layers to those relationships

679
00:34:55,239 --> 00:34:57,520
Speaker 7: and we're all so it's a tough job sometimes when

680
00:34:57,520 --> 00:34:59,839
Speaker 7: you're all kind of in it together in many ways.

681
00:34:59,880 --> 00:35:02,000
Speaker 7: He even know, when the ball gets kicked off on Sunday,

682
00:35:02,040 --> 00:35:03,960
Speaker 7: everybody's competing to do whatever they can to win.

683
00:35:04,480 --> 00:35:04,879
Speaker 9: That's one.

684
00:35:05,560 --> 00:35:09,279
Speaker 2: Kevin, just what's your evaluation of Jackson Dartan just kind

685
00:35:09,320 --> 00:35:11,560
Speaker 2: of his play style as av Yeah.

686
00:35:11,480 --> 00:35:14,360
Speaker 7: You know the play I think his play style is playmaking,

687
00:35:15,080 --> 00:35:18,960
Speaker 7: whether that's design runs, whether that's off schedule plays.

688
00:35:19,239 --> 00:35:21,920
Speaker 9: Uh, he can make a lot of really unique throws.

689
00:35:22,000 --> 00:35:24,759
Speaker 7: You've seen him attack the middle to deeper part of

690
00:35:24,800 --> 00:35:28,719
Speaker 7: the field on schedule, off schedule, and then I think,

691
00:35:28,960 --> 00:35:31,640
Speaker 7: you know what's what's held up is that competitiveness and

692
00:35:31,800 --> 00:35:35,239
Speaker 7: applying some of those things where maybe it's you know,

693
00:35:35,480 --> 00:35:38,480
Speaker 7: as he grows and develops, you'll see more and more

694
00:35:38,560 --> 00:35:40,879
Speaker 7: plays that you know he's playing in rhythm and going

695
00:35:40,920 --> 00:35:43,799
Speaker 7: through progressions. But you know, for right now he's he's

696
00:35:43,880 --> 00:35:45,920
Speaker 7: doing those things, but he's not missing out on an

697
00:35:45,960 --> 00:35:49,400
Speaker 7: op to take advantage of an undisciplined rush or if

698
00:35:49,440 --> 00:35:51,960
Speaker 7: you're not accounting for him in some of those shotgun

699
00:35:52,080 --> 00:35:54,120
Speaker 7: runs and where he can pull it, or he's part

700
00:35:54,200 --> 00:35:57,640
Speaker 7: of the scheme altogether. You know, he's he's turned himself

701
00:35:57,680 --> 00:36:00,839
Speaker 7: into a playmaker early on, and one that's really kind

702
00:36:00,880 --> 00:36:04,000
Speaker 7: of ignited their offense too, to compete and move and

703
00:36:04,040 --> 00:36:07,760
Speaker 7: score points. And you know, they've got some other impactful players.

704
00:36:07,760 --> 00:36:11,400
Speaker 7: I think, you know, Wandel Robinson's had a really good season.

705
00:36:11,600 --> 00:36:13,480
Speaker 7: You know, you look at Theo Johnson as a big

706
00:36:13,760 --> 00:36:16,359
Speaker 7: you know target running real you know, real route trees

707
00:36:16,400 --> 00:36:19,040
Speaker 7: and running down the seams is a weapon. And then

708
00:36:19,080 --> 00:36:20,840
Speaker 7: I think all of their backs, you know, I know

709
00:36:20,920 --> 00:36:23,480
Speaker 7: they lost the Scataboo, but I think all their backs

710
00:36:23,520 --> 00:36:25,560
Speaker 7: over the course of the season have been you know,

711
00:36:25,760 --> 00:36:29,040
Speaker 7: hard running, good vision, downhill guys that you if you

712
00:36:29,120 --> 00:36:33,000
Speaker 7: don't do a good job defensively, they'll stay efficient, stay efficient.

713
00:36:33,120 --> 00:36:34,960
Speaker 7: And then Jackson will make one of those plays and

714
00:36:35,120 --> 00:36:38,040
Speaker 7: and kind of change the whole dynamic of a game.

715
00:36:38,160 --> 00:36:39,960
Speaker 9: So it's it's gonna be a challenge for us. Matt,

716
00:36:40,000 --> 00:36:40,960
Speaker 9: go ahead everywhere.

717
00:36:41,320 --> 00:36:42,160
Speaker 1: I just wanted to.

718
00:36:42,239 --> 00:36:44,359
Speaker 12: I know you got the sweater on, but how would

719
00:36:44,400 --> 00:36:48,280
Speaker 12: you describe the the value of the if that's allowed

720
00:36:48,320 --> 00:36:53,600
Speaker 12: to wear? So, Matt, the just the value of the

721
00:36:54,400 --> 00:36:57,640
Speaker 12: the specialists this year, just the season there, Ryan and

722
00:36:57,880 --> 00:37:00,120
Speaker 12: willis like, what what value have have.

723
00:37:00,160 --> 00:37:01,239
Speaker 9: You put on that? Yeah?

724
00:37:01,280 --> 00:37:02,880
Speaker 7: I think you can just look at it from a

725
00:37:02,920 --> 00:37:06,440
Speaker 7: standpoint of whether it's the other night even you know,

726
00:37:06,520 --> 00:37:08,160
Speaker 7: we wanted to get off to a fast start in

727
00:37:08,200 --> 00:37:10,560
Speaker 7: the football game, and we did not bounce to the

728
00:37:10,640 --> 00:37:13,120
Speaker 7: ball tipball, and all of a sudden, a fake field

729
00:37:13,160 --> 00:37:16,120
Speaker 7: goal later, we're down seven to nothing, and then we

730
00:37:16,600 --> 00:37:20,000
Speaker 7: you know, don't you know, don't get you know, don't

731
00:37:20,000 --> 00:37:22,279
Speaker 7: get really sustained on the next drive, and it's kind

732
00:37:22,320 --> 00:37:24,839
Speaker 7: of a moment in time in the game where if

733
00:37:24,880 --> 00:37:27,000
Speaker 7: we can pin them deep and get a defensive stop,

734
00:37:27,480 --> 00:37:29,840
Speaker 7: possibly capture a little bit of momentum and tie the

735
00:37:29,880 --> 00:37:32,239
Speaker 7: football game up. But that's an if at that point,

736
00:37:32,400 --> 00:37:34,279
Speaker 7: and a lot of times this year, whether it's been

737
00:37:34,360 --> 00:37:37,760
Speaker 7: Ryan or Ending ending the game with a long.

738
00:37:37,640 --> 00:37:39,759
Speaker 9: Field goal the other day from from Will.

739
00:37:40,560 --> 00:37:42,799
Speaker 7: That's an if hey, we you know, if he makes

740
00:37:42,840 --> 00:37:44,920
Speaker 7: his kick, we're up eleven points and you can kind

741
00:37:44,960 --> 00:37:48,719
Speaker 7: of see the goal, the yellow brick road to win

742
00:37:48,760 --> 00:37:51,319
Speaker 7: in a game. And he goes out there and makes

743
00:37:51,360 --> 00:37:54,760
Speaker 7: the kick, and you know, Andrew de Paula had a matchup,

744
00:37:55,080 --> 00:37:57,799
Speaker 7: you know, against fifty four that he's blocked a lot

745
00:37:57,800 --> 00:37:59,520
Speaker 7: of kicks and been a real weapon for them, and

746
00:37:59,600 --> 00:38:02,280
Speaker 7: he answers the bell there and they set the tone

747
00:38:02,920 --> 00:38:05,000
Speaker 7: for that whole group. When you've got so many young

748
00:38:05,080 --> 00:38:08,040
Speaker 7: players playing in the kicking game when you're specialist, are

749
00:38:08,080 --> 00:38:11,360
Speaker 7: guys that even though Will's a young player, he's incredibly reliable.

750
00:38:11,360 --> 00:38:14,600
Speaker 7: He's an unbelievable year. Ryan Wright's been, you know, consistently

751
00:38:14,640 --> 00:38:17,680
Speaker 7: getting better. And Andrew Paula, you know, in his in

752
00:38:17,800 --> 00:38:22,239
Speaker 7: his bagels and brunch, have always been as consistent as

753
00:38:22,280 --> 00:38:26,280
Speaker 7: any player in an organization. So, you know, all jokes aside,

754
00:38:26,320 --> 00:38:28,239
Speaker 7: they've been a huge part for us winning in a

755
00:38:28,320 --> 00:38:30,920
Speaker 7: year where maybe we haven't taken, you know, took the

756
00:38:31,000 --> 00:38:33,919
Speaker 7: normal path that we've kind of been accustomed to, either

757
00:38:34,000 --> 00:38:36,200
Speaker 7: offensively or at times with some of the things we've

758
00:38:36,239 --> 00:38:38,279
Speaker 7: had to navigate on the other side of the ball,

759
00:38:38,360 --> 00:38:40,719
Speaker 7: so that you know that one play phase has turned

760
00:38:40,760 --> 00:38:43,239
Speaker 7: into a massive play phase for us to try to

761
00:38:43,239 --> 00:38:44,360
Speaker 7: play complimentary football.

762
00:38:44,560 --> 00:38:49,880
Speaker 5: What about the sweaty kwan? Was he talking about the

763
00:38:49,920 --> 00:38:52,680
Speaker 5: twenty twenty five New York Giants. He made them some

764
00:38:52,880 --> 00:38:56,359
Speaker 5: what they've clinched honfield advantage rough the playoffs. In the week,

765
00:38:56,640 --> 00:39:02,279
Speaker 5: it's like they've won two games. They're terrible. They don't

766
00:39:02,280 --> 00:39:05,040
Speaker 5: present a chit. They shouldn't present a challenge. If you

767
00:39:05,120 --> 00:39:07,759
Speaker 5: are building stacking, as the coach likes to say, you

768
00:39:07,920 --> 00:39:09,840
Speaker 5: go in and you kick six different kinds out of

769
00:39:09,840 --> 00:39:12,200
Speaker 5: the giants. That's what I'm looking for. Way, don't spread

770
00:39:12,239 --> 00:39:14,640
Speaker 5: swing borrow ten to me. I don't hear what the

771
00:39:14,840 --> 00:39:17,920
Speaker 5: I don't care what the what the points spread is.

772
00:39:18,760 --> 00:39:20,919
Speaker 5: I'm taking the purple and I'm doubling down.

773
00:39:21,000 --> 00:39:23,839
Speaker 3: Oh my gosh, we'll take it right back.

774
00:39:23,880 --> 00:39:24,239
Speaker 11: Come back.

775
00:39:24,400 --> 00:39:27,680
Speaker 5: Well, we're straddling the forty five for all stations along

776
00:39:27,760 --> 00:39:29,440
Speaker 5: the Common Man Radio network.

777
00:39:30,160 --> 00:39:32,040
Speaker 3: Back with a little just that lack come out next?

778
00:39:32,080 --> 00:39:33,360
Speaker 1: Not a comma problem, by the fact.

779
00:39:33,600 --> 00:39:34,080
Speaker 12: Damn.

780

822
00:41:39,000 --> 00:41:41,600
Speaker 5: He had a lot more added to his plate, probably

823
00:41:41,719 --> 00:41:44,120
Speaker 5: during Thanksgiving, because I'm sure the family got together and

824
00:41:44,160 --> 00:41:46,360
Speaker 5: they all said we got issues.

825
00:41:47,960 --> 00:41:50,080
Speaker 1: I am curious how that came about. Well, I'm trying

826
00:41:50,120 --> 00:41:51,040
Speaker 1: to get to my bit. I'm talking.

827
00:41:51,040 --> 00:41:54,320
Speaker 5: Sorry, it's okay, So they get to the Thanksgiving table

828
00:41:54,440 --> 00:41:57,920
Speaker 5: and they make Joe sit at the little kid's table, Right, Joe,

829
00:41:57,960 --> 00:41:59,640
Speaker 5: why don't you sit over there? So they could all

830
00:41:59,719 --> 00:42:05,520
Speaker 5: kind of a private conversation, and they go, we got

831
00:42:05,640 --> 00:42:06,360
Speaker 5: to make a change.

832
00:42:06,600 --> 00:42:10,400
Speaker 3: It ain't working with Joe there anymore. And what probably really.

833
00:42:12,320 --> 00:42:18,359
Speaker 5: Started the idea that they had to take Joe out

834
00:42:18,400 --> 00:42:21,200
Speaker 5: of the number one share, That is when he said, and.

835
00:42:21,239 --> 00:42:23,080
Speaker 3: When we sell the team, I still want to run it,

836
00:42:24,040 --> 00:42:24,439
Speaker 3: and they.

837
00:42:24,360 --> 00:42:25,320
Speaker 1: Were got to be kidding.

838
00:42:25,600 --> 00:42:31,439
Speaker 5: Er doesn't understand how business works. So the older brother,

839
00:42:31,560 --> 00:42:35,359
Speaker 5: Tom Sayer. Yeah, cooler heads have prevailed. Tom's taking over.

840
00:42:35,719 --> 00:42:38,120
Speaker 5: And I'm sure that happened over Thanksgiving.

841
00:42:37,600 --> 00:42:38,080
Speaker 3: Dinner, right.

842
00:42:38,520 --> 00:42:39,600
Speaker 1: I was a quicker run from Joe.

843
00:42:39,719 --> 00:42:40,920
Speaker 3: It was a quick run from Joe.

844
00:42:41,360 --> 00:42:46,640
Speaker 5: Principal and principal minority investors are Glick Family Investments and

845
00:42:46,760 --> 00:42:51,320
Speaker 5: George G. Hicks, along with prominent Minnesota business leaders. Craig Leepold,

846
00:42:51,320 --> 00:42:53,279
Speaker 5: who is the majority owner of the Minnesota Wild, is

847
00:42:53,400 --> 00:42:59,040
Speaker 5: joining independently as limited. He's limited. Remember Glenn had all

848
00:42:59,040 --> 00:43:08,000
Speaker 5: of his limited, so Craig's limited. The principal minority investors

849
00:43:08,040 --> 00:43:10,279
Speaker 5: are I mean I just said that. Sorry, Hicks and

850
00:43:10,320 --> 00:43:13,800
Speaker 5: Click Family investments are acquiring non controlling minority stakes in

851
00:43:13,840 --> 00:43:16,600
Speaker 5: the Twins while the poll Up family retains the control

852
00:43:16,719 --> 00:43:18,560
Speaker 5: of the ownership group.

853
00:43:21,760 --> 00:43:23,880
Speaker 3: You know, I guess it's just it's fun. I mean,

854
00:43:24,560 --> 00:43:25,279
Speaker 3: I suppose, you know.

855
00:43:25,320 --> 00:43:27,600
Speaker 5: I think the whole reason they got the limiteds, these

856
00:43:27,719 --> 00:43:30,000
Speaker 5: these these extra these minority partners was to pay off

857
00:43:30,040 --> 00:43:31,279
Speaker 5: that five hundred thousand dollars debt.

858
00:43:31,320 --> 00:43:33,880
Speaker 3: They got an influx of cash, they pay that off.

859
00:43:34,560 --> 00:43:38,640
Speaker 5: And yeah, and again it's it's probably a good investment,

860
00:43:38,760 --> 00:43:41,480
Speaker 5: I think, even though you know, because now the teams

861
00:43:41,520 --> 00:43:44,440
Speaker 5: should be if you believe that they were really that

862
00:43:44,600 --> 00:43:46,200
Speaker 5: far debt of losing that much, I mean, they could

863
00:43:46,200 --> 00:43:47,680
Speaker 5: have wrote a check for that five hundred million and

864
00:43:47,760 --> 00:43:50,000
Speaker 5: paid that debt off had they wanted to, but they didn't.

865
00:43:50,600 --> 00:43:53,040
Speaker 5: But I suppose if you're one of the minorities relief Pole,

866
00:43:53,080 --> 00:43:54,279
Speaker 5: it's kind of cool. You don't have a piece of

867
00:43:54,280 --> 00:43:57,000
Speaker 5: another team, another Harvey to look into. And probably by

868
00:43:57,040 --> 00:43:59,279
Speaker 5: the end of the day, it doesn't seem like any

869
00:43:59,320 --> 00:44:04,120
Speaker 5: sports franchises in the world ever go down in value.

870
00:44:04,160 --> 00:44:06,040
Speaker 5: They just continue to increase. So it's it's it's a

871
00:44:06,120 --> 00:44:07,640
Speaker 5: nice investment opportunity as well.

872
00:44:08,640 --> 00:44:11,480
Speaker 3: Tennaby when we when we come back with five, three four.

873
00:44:11,600 --> 00:44:12,919
Speaker 3: Do you have a tease for us please?

874
00:44:13,080 --> 00:44:14,480
Speaker 1: Will Jets make history?
