00:00:33,760 --> 00:00:36,160
Speaker 1: it's nine to now and it's all Paul. It's always

10
00:00:36,200 --> 00:00:38,720
Speaker 1: great to chat with you. I have an I in

Speaker 1: Pete Pete bursag five six. In the search bar, you'll

13
00:00:46,479 --> 00:00:49,640
Speaker 1: find Eye in the Sky, some film breakdowns and stuff

14
00:00:49,720 --> 00:00:54,280
Speaker 1: like that. It would be Jalen Redman's domination because he's

15
00:00:54,320 --> 00:00:57,000
Speaker 1: an exclusive free agent end of the season and he's

16
00:00:57,000 --> 00:01:00,720
Speaker 1: sitting on potentially a boatload of cash with with Redman

17
00:01:00,920 --> 00:01:03,880
Speaker 1: and those eleven TFLs and six sacks, what are you liking?

18
00:01:05,240 --> 00:01:05,400
Speaker 2: You know?

19
00:01:05,800 --> 00:01:07,720
Speaker 3: I what what is there not to like? Right?

20
00:01:08,120 --> 00:01:10,520
Speaker 4: He's he's a guy who had to work his way

21
00:01:11,000 --> 00:01:14,880
Speaker 4: to get onto us, onto us, onto a roster right

22
00:01:15,040 --> 00:01:18,320
Speaker 4: he was playing in the ufl found a way to

23
00:01:18,480 --> 00:01:21,080
Speaker 4: get his foot in the door. It's, you know, just

24
00:01:21,160 --> 00:01:23,080
Speaker 4: a lot like Adam Feeling found a way to get

25
00:01:23,080 --> 00:01:26,520
Speaker 4: his foot in the door, showed something where they wanted

26
00:01:26,520 --> 00:01:29,039
Speaker 4: to keep him around, and then just continued to get

27
00:01:29,280 --> 00:01:30,399
Speaker 4: god to get better.

28
00:01:31,080 --> 00:01:31,200
Speaker 5: Uh.

29
00:01:31,600 --> 00:01:34,319
Speaker 4: And I just love the fact that he hasn't left

30
00:01:34,400 --> 00:01:37,760
Speaker 4: that behind. He still keeps that as part of you know,

31
00:01:37,800 --> 00:01:40,440
Speaker 4: he's never arrived, he's not here. He just he just

32
00:01:40,680 --> 00:01:43,520
Speaker 4: works and and does what he does, and he fits

33
00:01:44,319 --> 00:01:47,880
Speaker 4: what Brian Flores wants to do with the scheme, uh,

34
00:01:48,120 --> 00:01:52,240
Speaker 4: you know very well. And you know that's something that

35
00:01:54,800 --> 00:01:56,960
Speaker 4: when it comes to free agency and everything. I hope

36
00:01:57,000 --> 00:01:59,640
Speaker 4: he and his agent keep in mind that he fits

37
00:01:59,720 --> 00:02:02,040
Speaker 4: what's Las wants to do here very well. It doesn't

38
00:02:02,080 --> 00:02:05,120
Speaker 4: fit everybody, you know, I don't. I don't think he

39
00:02:05,240 --> 00:02:08,519
Speaker 4: could just go to a San Francisco four to three

40
00:02:09,200 --> 00:02:11,519
Speaker 4: jet type of a system and have the success that

41
00:02:11,600 --> 00:02:15,239
Speaker 4: he's had here. Now, maybe he could, I mean maybe,

42
00:02:15,280 --> 00:02:18,240
Speaker 4: you know, he's he's proved it this this far and thus,

43
00:02:18,320 --> 00:02:20,040
Speaker 4: but it would be kind of starting over for him

44
00:02:20,040 --> 00:02:24,000
Speaker 4: again I hope he stays here just because of the

45
00:02:24,080 --> 00:02:28,080
Speaker 4: fact that again he's just just fits what we're trying

46
00:02:28,120 --> 00:02:30,680
Speaker 4: to do. And and you know, he talked to people

47
00:02:30,800 --> 00:02:35,200
Speaker 4: in the personnel department, in the pro personnel department. They

48
00:02:35,400 --> 00:02:38,880
Speaker 4: they look to him as an example of why they

49
00:02:39,680 --> 00:02:43,320
Speaker 4: pour through hours of film and dig up information on

50
00:02:43,480 --> 00:02:46,799
Speaker 4: guys that are on the fringes of the NFL, because

51
00:02:46,880 --> 00:02:50,080
Speaker 4: every once in a while you find someone like Jalen

52
00:02:50,160 --> 00:02:53,880
Speaker 4: Redman who pays off, who ends up being a very

53
00:02:54,000 --> 00:02:56,399
Speaker 4: very good football player, and it makes all that time

54
00:02:56,440 --> 00:02:59,640
Speaker 4: worth while. There aren't many, right, there aren't many guys

55
00:02:59,720 --> 00:03:02,799
Speaker 4: who who take the path that he has that he

56
00:03:03,000 --> 00:03:05,799
Speaker 4: has to this spot. And congratulations to him, and I

57
00:03:05,880 --> 00:03:08,480
Speaker 4: hope it's uh, you know, for for Jalen. I hope

58
00:03:08,480 --> 00:03:11,120
Speaker 4: he gets uh gets what he deserves this offseason. What

59
00:03:11,440 --> 00:03:14,919
Speaker 4: what did you think of Brosmer. I love that throw

60
00:03:15,040 --> 00:03:19,040
Speaker 4: that he made just to Jalen Naylor, even though it

61
00:03:19,120 --> 00:03:21,679
Speaker 4: was incomplete. Uh, I put that ball right where it

62
00:03:21,760 --> 00:03:25,000
Speaker 4: needed to be. I love the throw obviously made to

63
00:03:25,200 --> 00:03:28,880
Speaker 4: Justin Jefferson against you know, three deep and the flat defender.

64
00:03:29,240 --> 00:03:32,160
Speaker 4: I thought I wasn't quite sure what the coverage was,

65
00:03:32,280 --> 00:03:36,080
Speaker 4: but in that coverage to put that football right where

66
00:03:36,120 --> 00:03:39,680
Speaker 4: it was when there really wasn't anybody anybody heading into

67
00:03:39,720 --> 00:03:41,880
Speaker 4: the flat to kind of eat up that flat defender.

68
00:03:41,920 --> 00:03:44,640
Speaker 4: Maybe that was a beautiful throw, great decision, great throw.

69
00:03:45,240 --> 00:03:46,800
Speaker 4: I you know, I like what he's I like what

70
00:03:46,920 --> 00:03:51,000
Speaker 4: he's done. It's humbling to go out there and throw

71
00:03:51,120 --> 00:03:54,800
Speaker 4: pick sixes and and and throw four interceptions against Seattle,

72
00:03:54,880 --> 00:03:58,760
Speaker 4: and and hopefully, uh, he's learned from that. And I mean,

73
00:03:58,760 --> 00:04:01,760
Speaker 4: he's a different kind of kid, just just I think

74
00:04:01,880 --> 00:04:03,680
Speaker 4: from I don't know him very well. I haven't really

75
00:04:03,720 --> 00:04:05,920
Speaker 4: talked to him very much, but seeing him on the

76
00:04:06,000 --> 00:04:08,760
Speaker 4: hoof and everything, he's mentally, he's just a different kind

77
00:04:08,800 --> 00:04:10,040
Speaker 4: of kid, very confident.

78
00:04:10,600 --> 00:04:10,720
Speaker 6: Uh.

79
00:04:10,880 --> 00:04:15,160
Speaker 4: And I think that the what happened in Seattle, he

80
00:04:15,280 --> 00:04:17,000
Speaker 4: kind of hit the reset button a little bit. And

81
00:04:17,040 --> 00:04:20,400
Speaker 4: I'm really interested to see, you know, if he does

82
00:04:20,480 --> 00:04:25,080
Speaker 4: get out there again, the difference and and and hopefully

83
00:04:25,120 --> 00:04:26,719
Speaker 4: he'll be playing you know, he'll be playing better.

84
00:04:27,440 --> 00:04:29,240
Speaker 3: It's I'm really excited.

85
00:04:29,000 --> 00:04:32,040
Speaker 1: In that regard twenty two penalties combined for both teams

86
00:04:32,120 --> 00:04:33,120
Speaker 1: accepted yesterday.

87
00:04:33,440 --> 00:04:38,039
Speaker 7: Hell, Peter, twenty two of them? Are you kidding me? Yeah,

88
00:04:38,320 --> 00:04:42,200
Speaker 7: it's over officiating. No question about it. And you know that's.

89
00:04:44,120 --> 00:04:46,200
Speaker 4: It's so much more in the in the spotlight. I

90
00:04:46,279 --> 00:04:48,160
Speaker 4: was listening to you guys earlier and the problems that

91
00:04:48,200 --> 00:04:52,040
Speaker 4: they're having in the NBA. The you know, with the officiating,

92
00:04:52,120 --> 00:04:54,120
Speaker 4: it's just all you ask for. And I know with

93
00:04:54,279 --> 00:04:56,960
Speaker 4: coaches when I was coaching, and we would have to

94
00:04:57,040 --> 00:04:59,400
Speaker 4: do the tapes and we would you know, sending stuff

95
00:04:59,440 --> 00:05:04,320
Speaker 4: into the league can question this and question that. It's

96
00:05:04,440 --> 00:05:08,120
Speaker 4: just consistency. As a coach, you want consistency because if

97
00:05:08,160 --> 00:05:10,120
Speaker 4: you're teaching a technique or you're trying to teach a

98
00:05:10,200 --> 00:05:11,960
Speaker 4: guy what to do or how to play this or

99
00:05:12,000 --> 00:05:15,280
Speaker 4: how to do that, you have to give them guidelines

100
00:05:15,320 --> 00:05:18,000
Speaker 4: as to what's okay and what's not. And one week

101
00:05:18,080 --> 00:05:20,200
Speaker 4: it's going, you know, doing this, it's it's going to

102
00:05:20,240 --> 00:05:24,560
Speaker 4: be okay. A week later, it's not as far as

103
00:05:25,040 --> 00:05:28,400
Speaker 4: you know, Like I look at Harrison Smith and the

104
00:05:28,480 --> 00:05:30,919
Speaker 4: penalty that he got, again, those.

105
00:05:30,760 --> 00:05:33,920
Speaker 7: Are by the book, so meaning if you so if

106
00:05:33,960 --> 00:05:34,680
Speaker 7: you sack the.

107
00:05:34,760 --> 00:05:38,640
Speaker 4: Quarterback and your helmet somehow makes contact with the helmet

108
00:05:38,720 --> 00:05:43,240
Speaker 4: of the quarterback, that's automatically a penalty. We know that's

109
00:05:43,320 --> 00:05:46,120
Speaker 4: not the case because we've seen it over and over

110
00:05:46,279 --> 00:05:49,480
Speaker 4: and over again where the quarterback has been hit, you know,

111
00:05:49,800 --> 00:05:51,560
Speaker 4: it gets a helmet in the face, and they you know,

112
00:05:51,640 --> 00:05:52,320
Speaker 4: they don't call it.

113
00:05:53,320 --> 00:05:56,360
Speaker 7: So those kinds of penalties have to be have to

114
00:05:56,440 --> 00:05:58,840
Speaker 7: be judgment calls. They can't be by the book.

115
00:05:58,920 --> 00:06:01,920
Speaker 4: And that's the thing is, you know, you know you

116
00:06:02,040 --> 00:06:05,440
Speaker 4: can see it when a player is launching himself, for

117
00:06:05,600 --> 00:06:10,520
Speaker 4: when he's trying to injure right using his helmet as

118
00:06:10,560 --> 00:06:14,880
Speaker 4: a weapon. The sack that Harrison Smith had there, it

119
00:06:15,040 --> 00:06:18,080
Speaker 4: was nothing near that. He tried to use his shoulder.

120
00:06:19,360 --> 00:06:21,400
Speaker 4: You can actually see him kind of turn his body.

121
00:06:21,960 --> 00:06:24,080
Speaker 4: Uh and and and again. I don't know how these

122
00:06:24,120 --> 00:06:27,599
Speaker 4: guys can play this game at this speed and as quickly,

123
00:06:27,640 --> 00:06:30,839
Speaker 4: as quick as the game is. And then you're free

124
00:06:30,920 --> 00:06:32,840
Speaker 4: to the quarterback. And then when you get there, you

125
00:06:32,920 --> 00:06:34,520
Speaker 4: have to go, oh yeah, wait a minute, I can't

126
00:06:34,600 --> 00:06:36,280
Speaker 4: just blow this guy up. I've got to kind of

127
00:06:36,320 --> 00:06:39,719
Speaker 4: turn my shoulder here. And you know they're very mobile

128
00:06:39,760 --> 00:06:41,720
Speaker 4: and they might get away from me, but you know

129
00:06:41,800 --> 00:06:43,680
Speaker 4: I still have to kind of turn my it. I

130
00:06:43,760 --> 00:06:49,160
Speaker 4: think it's insanity. I don't think I don't see how

131
00:06:49,320 --> 00:06:54,440
Speaker 4: that how calling those penalties is protecting players. It diminishes

132
00:06:54,520 --> 00:06:56,800
Speaker 4: the game, but I don't think it. And at the

133
00:06:56,800 --> 00:06:58,560
Speaker 4: same time, I don't think it protects players. I think

134
00:06:58,600 --> 00:07:03,000
Speaker 4: that's why, you know, I just I you know, I

135
00:07:03,040 --> 00:07:05,040
Speaker 4: don't know. There's just been There's just been a lot

136
00:07:05,080 --> 00:07:07,240
Speaker 4: of them. Man, I'm kind of I don't know what

137
00:07:07,320 --> 00:07:09,880
Speaker 4: to say, you know what I mean. It really takes

138
00:07:09,920 --> 00:07:11,680
Speaker 4: away from the game when you get a sack and

139
00:07:12,880 --> 00:07:15,440
Speaker 4: big play happens on defense or whatever, and then there's

140
00:07:15,480 --> 00:07:17,240
Speaker 4: the flag and it's like, well here we go.

141
00:07:17,440 --> 00:07:20,560
Speaker 7: First time. It's like, I don't know.

142
00:07:20,760 --> 00:07:23,600
Speaker 1: But if you say it's by the letter of the

143
00:07:23,720 --> 00:07:27,400
Speaker 1: proverbial law, okay, well I'm saying that's how they called

144
00:07:27,440 --> 00:07:31,360
Speaker 1: it yesterday, I understand, but not every staff does that correct.

145
00:07:31,360 --> 00:07:33,640
Speaker 1: It's kind of like the home played umpire bit cool.

146
00:07:34,040 --> 00:07:37,200
Speaker 1: I got homeboy on Tuesday and lowing outside the strike.

147
00:07:37,560 --> 00:07:39,560
Speaker 1: Now I got my man on Wednesday and high and

148
00:07:39,640 --> 00:07:44,120
Speaker 1: inside the strike. You just lacking consistency is all these

149
00:07:44,160 --> 00:07:45,320
Speaker 1: players and coaches want.

150
00:07:45,920 --> 00:07:48,200
Speaker 4: I agree with you, one hundred percent. And in baseball,

151
00:07:48,360 --> 00:07:51,040
Speaker 4: that's part of the bit, right, that's part of baseball.

152
00:07:51,640 --> 00:07:54,840
Speaker 4: And that's as a veteran, like you know, it's kind

153
00:07:54,840 --> 00:07:56,800
Speaker 4: of the That's why baseball is so it's such a

154
00:07:56,920 --> 00:07:59,560
Speaker 4: niche sport. It's like, okay, you got this umpire today,

155
00:07:59,560 --> 00:08:02,880
Speaker 4: he's alone, an outside guy. Okay, here we go. You know, pitcher, catcher.

156
00:08:02,960 --> 00:08:04,920
Speaker 4: They know what's going on. Blah blah blah. They manage

157
00:08:04,960 --> 00:08:08,880
Speaker 4: it and they go from there. In the in the NFL,

158
00:08:09,640 --> 00:08:13,320
Speaker 4: it's I guess it's just not that cut and dry, right.

159
00:08:13,480 --> 00:08:16,040
Speaker 4: The strike zone is the strike zone right in the NFL,

160
00:08:16,120 --> 00:08:19,360
Speaker 4: it's not. And things happened so quickly. But man, I

161
00:08:19,480 --> 00:08:24,120
Speaker 4: tell you what that yesterday, the the officiating got in

162
00:08:24,200 --> 00:08:26,400
Speaker 4: the way. The game isn't about the penalties. The game

163
00:08:26,480 --> 00:08:28,520
Speaker 4: isn't the you know, the referees and the and the

164
00:08:28,640 --> 00:08:31,840
Speaker 4: umpires shouldn't be altho. Let me say this, I whoever

165
00:08:31,920 --> 00:08:33,600
Speaker 4: the back I got to find out who that back

166
00:08:33,720 --> 00:08:37,600
Speaker 4: judge was? Who when when he was signaling catch, when

167
00:08:37,600 --> 00:08:39,440
Speaker 4: he would signal a catch, you'd give it the kick

168
00:08:39,840 --> 00:08:42,719
Speaker 4: like this guy would get excited like he got he

169
00:08:42,920 --> 00:08:45,280
Speaker 4: was just absolutely fired up. I know when Jordan Atison

170
00:08:45,320 --> 00:08:47,520
Speaker 4: caught one on the sideline and Jefferson caught one on

171
00:08:47,600 --> 00:08:49,719
Speaker 4: the sideline and he gave it, he gave it a

172
00:08:49,760 --> 00:08:54,319
Speaker 4: little fiat. You know, some theatrics to it. But that

173
00:08:54,520 --> 00:08:56,800
Speaker 4: guy keep him around, the rest of them get rid

174
00:08:56,840 --> 00:08:56,959
Speaker 4: of it.

175
00:08:57,080 --> 00:08:59,800
Speaker 1: But it's the same back judge who called a penalty

176
00:08:59,840 --> 00:09:02,560
Speaker 1: on a defensive lineman from thirty five yards away.

177
00:09:02,960 --> 00:09:04,320
Speaker 4: Yeah, I don't know if that was the same one.

178
00:09:04,320 --> 00:09:05,640
Speaker 4: I don't know if it was the same one or not.

179
00:09:05,760 --> 00:09:06,760
Speaker 4: But yeah, you're right, that was.

180
00:09:07,240 --> 00:09:07,439
Speaker 2: That was.

181
00:09:08,000 --> 00:09:10,199
Speaker 4: Now, I know, they all have rules on where they're

182
00:09:10,200 --> 00:09:12,400
Speaker 4: supposed to look if it's run, if it's passed. I mean,

183
00:09:12,559 --> 00:09:14,160
Speaker 4: so he may you know, he may not have been

184
00:09:14,240 --> 00:09:15,920
Speaker 4: out of bound, so to speak. He may have been

185
00:09:15,960 --> 00:09:17,880
Speaker 4: looking right where he was supposed to. I don't know.

186
00:09:18,280 --> 00:09:21,640
Speaker 4: I don't know all the intricacies of what the referees

187
00:09:21,640 --> 00:09:24,719
Speaker 4: are supposed to watch, you know, front side, backside, playside,

188
00:09:24,880 --> 00:09:27,800
Speaker 4: or you know whatever. So but yeah, again, no, that

189
00:09:28,040 --> 00:09:31,640
Speaker 4: was to see that flag right from like forty yards away.

190
00:09:32,960 --> 00:09:33,439
Speaker 3: Yeah it was.

191
00:09:34,640 --> 00:09:38,760
Speaker 4: But overall, just a wasn't that a bizarre game? I mean,

192
00:09:39,559 --> 00:09:42,079
Speaker 4: Dark didn't throw a football in the first quarter, not

193
00:09:42,240 --> 00:09:45,560
Speaker 4: one zero pass attempts in the first quarter.

194
00:09:45,720 --> 00:09:49,120
Speaker 8: Yeah, his first first completion was to Byron Murphy Junior.

195
00:09:49,120 --> 00:09:53,960
Speaker 7: I believe. Yeah, the whole thing was just absolutely weird.

196
00:09:54,679 --> 00:09:56,840
Speaker 7: He regard let me ask you this, Pete.

197
00:09:57,120 --> 00:10:00,360
Speaker 8: We've done a lot of loving on Eric will this

198
00:10:00,440 --> 00:10:02,520
Speaker 8: season and the year that he's having, how important he's

199
00:10:02,520 --> 00:10:04,440
Speaker 8: been to this defense. What about Blake Cashman though one

200
00:10:04,480 --> 00:10:07,080
Speaker 8: hundred and twenty tackles, he missed a couple of games,

201
00:10:07,120 --> 00:10:10,480
Speaker 8: I believe, but he in his eleven games played, he's

202
00:10:10,520 --> 00:10:14,319
Speaker 8: had double digit grabs in eight of those eleven. I mean,

203
00:10:14,440 --> 00:10:16,959
Speaker 8: just the consistency of Blake Cashman. We saw it a

204
00:10:17,040 --> 00:10:19,400
Speaker 8: year ago as well. When he's on the field, this

205
00:10:19,559 --> 00:10:21,200
Speaker 8: defense appears to be at its best.

206
00:10:21,880 --> 00:10:22,080
Speaker 2: Yeah.

207
00:10:22,320 --> 00:10:27,199
Speaker 4: Absolutely, It's the versatility of the guys that we have.

208
00:10:27,600 --> 00:10:30,840
Speaker 4: And then you go out there loop without Jonathan Gernard,

209
00:10:31,000 --> 00:10:33,120
Speaker 4: who I still think is one of the best, if

210
00:10:33,160 --> 00:10:35,199
Speaker 4: not the best defender on the field that we have,

211
00:10:35,800 --> 00:10:39,960
Speaker 4: and then without Josh Mattelas, and then you start doing

212
00:10:40,040 --> 00:10:42,480
Speaker 4: the old Well, we'll put Jay Ward in on running

213
00:10:42,520 --> 00:10:44,880
Speaker 4: downs and third down, THEO Jackson'll come in for the

214
00:10:44,920 --> 00:10:47,360
Speaker 4: coverage bit. We might you know, slop in, you know,

215
00:10:47,480 --> 00:10:51,760
Speaker 4: flop in Fabian Moreau every once in a while. And

216
00:10:52,480 --> 00:10:55,199
Speaker 4: then you have the linebacking crew with Dallas Turner and

217
00:10:55,320 --> 00:10:58,360
Speaker 4: Andrew van Ginkel, who almost had an interception he had

218
00:10:58,360 --> 00:11:00,880
Speaker 4: a sack, they try to block him with THEO Johnson

219
00:11:01,280 --> 00:11:02,920
Speaker 4: at the on the end of the game, and it's

220
00:11:03,000 --> 00:11:06,800
Speaker 4: just an absolute mismatch. There aren't a lot of guys

221
00:11:07,120 --> 00:11:10,280
Speaker 4: that have the skill sets of Andrew van Ginkol and

222
00:11:10,520 --> 00:11:14,400
Speaker 4: Eric Wilson and Blake Cashman right and Dallas Turner where

223
00:11:14,480 --> 00:11:17,160
Speaker 4: they can rush the passer consistently, they can rush in

224
00:11:17,200 --> 00:11:19,280
Speaker 4: the inside and then they can also drop in coverage.

225
00:11:19,280 --> 00:11:20,079
Speaker 3: They have awareness.

226
00:11:20,960 --> 00:11:25,360
Speaker 4: It's that aspect of it, and the multiplicity of all

227
00:11:25,440 --> 00:11:29,679
Speaker 4: these players is what causes all of these problems. Because

228
00:11:29,720 --> 00:11:33,640
Speaker 4: when Harrison Smith walks down and stands outside on the

229
00:11:33,760 --> 00:11:35,760
Speaker 4: edge of the defense at the line of scrimmage, you

230
00:11:35,840 --> 00:11:36,760
Speaker 4: can't ignore him.

231
00:11:36,800 --> 00:11:37,200
Speaker 3: You can't.

232
00:11:37,440 --> 00:11:40,520
Speaker 4: You can't look at him and go he's a decoy.

233
00:11:40,559 --> 00:11:43,760
Speaker 4: He's not gonna blitz because he does right. And so

234
00:11:45,120 --> 00:11:49,240
Speaker 4: you can't just willly nearly show things defensively because a

235
00:11:49,320 --> 00:11:51,880
Speaker 4: good quarterback will sniff it out, like Dak Prescott, he'll

236
00:11:51,920 --> 00:11:53,079
Speaker 4: look at it and go, Okay.

237
00:11:52,800 --> 00:11:53,640
Speaker 3: They're not going to run this.

238
00:11:53,760 --> 00:11:56,959
Speaker 4: They're you know, they're just they're disguising h and doing

239
00:11:57,040 --> 00:12:00,440
Speaker 4: something else where you have to make it actually look

240
00:12:00,640 --> 00:12:03,040
Speaker 4: like something. There's a whole other level to it, and

241
00:12:03,200 --> 00:12:07,880
Speaker 4: these guys execute it brilliantly. For you know, I mean

242
00:12:07,920 --> 00:12:10,240
Speaker 4: to go five weeks too, giving up a passing touchdown

243
00:12:10,280 --> 00:12:12,120
Speaker 4: on this day and age in the NFL, it's pretty

244
00:12:12,200 --> 00:12:15,839
Speaker 4: it's pretty damn remarkable and all those guys. And I'll

245
00:12:15,880 --> 00:12:20,240
Speaker 4: say this, that play Isaiah Rogers made on Wandale Robinson

246
00:12:21,000 --> 00:12:27,240
Speaker 4: was unba believable because Wandale Robinson was running wide ass

247
00:12:27,480 --> 00:12:30,599
Speaker 4: open right through the middle of our defense because we

248
00:12:30,679 --> 00:12:33,559
Speaker 4: were zero blitz and we didn't care and we were like,

249
00:12:33,679 --> 00:12:35,760
Speaker 4: oh and that that's what that's what Flores does. He

250
00:12:35,840 --> 00:12:37,360
Speaker 4: made He's a quarterback, had to get rid of the

251
00:12:37,360 --> 00:12:40,000
Speaker 4: football quickly because he was going to get lit up

252
00:12:40,040 --> 00:12:42,800
Speaker 4: like a Christmas tree. So he throws up a mortar

253
00:12:42,880 --> 00:12:47,439
Speaker 4: shot and Isaiah Rodgers, he's on the sideline covering the

254
00:12:47,520 --> 00:12:49,760
Speaker 4: wide receiver and he works his way all the way

255
00:12:49,760 --> 00:12:52,760
Speaker 4: to the middle of the field and gets there perfectly

256
00:12:53,040 --> 00:12:55,679
Speaker 4: timed to knock that football away. I think that was

257
00:12:56,440 --> 00:12:58,960
Speaker 4: that was probably that was one of the greatest plays

258
00:12:59,320 --> 00:13:01,360
Speaker 4: I've seen this defense make this year.

259
00:13:01,600 --> 00:13:02,439
Speaker 7: That play by A. A.

260
00:13:02,679 --> 00:13:04,840
Speaker 3: Rodgers was just outstanding and he.

261
00:13:04,920 --> 00:13:05,400
Speaker 7: Was only right.

262
00:13:05,480 --> 00:13:07,680
Speaker 8: It looked like he was running like three quarter speed.

263
00:13:07,760 --> 00:13:10,080
Speaker 8: I mean, just no problems for number two catching up

264
00:13:10,120 --> 00:13:12,439
Speaker 8: and making that play. Let me ask you, because you

265
00:13:12,440 --> 00:13:14,040
Speaker 8: got a time, you have to time it up right.

266
00:13:14,080 --> 00:13:16,280
Speaker 8: You can't get there too early. And he also you

267
00:13:16,320 --> 00:13:18,839
Speaker 8: have another Minnesota, you have another Minneapolis miracle. Well, and

268
00:13:18,920 --> 00:13:21,120
Speaker 8: you got what twenty one becomes twenty two or twenty

269
00:13:21,200 --> 00:13:23,439
Speaker 8: three penalties on the day. Of course, what a day

270
00:13:23,679 --> 00:13:27,320
Speaker 8: was JJ McCarthy. I mean it's, you know, two games

271
00:13:27,440 --> 00:13:30,120
Speaker 8: with Washington and Dallas. You see what I feel, I

272
00:13:30,240 --> 00:13:32,800
Speaker 8: believe market improvements for number nine and then you get

273
00:13:32,840 --> 00:13:36,480
Speaker 8: a half out of them yesterday, hand injury aside. What

274
00:13:36,760 --> 00:13:39,440
Speaker 8: did you see from the half you got out of jj?

275
00:13:40,200 --> 00:13:42,839
Speaker 8: H to say, good times, bad time? Still working on

276
00:13:42,960 --> 00:13:45,080
Speaker 8: this cool moment here? Well, what do you think?

277
00:13:45,320 --> 00:13:47,720
Speaker 4: Yeah, he had a twelve interception, but I don't think

278
00:13:47,760 --> 00:13:49,800
Speaker 4: it was on him. It's a ball that should have

279
00:13:49,840 --> 00:13:53,120
Speaker 4: been caught. Addison should have caught a touchdown. I'm sure

280
00:13:53,120 --> 00:13:56,360
Speaker 4: he'd love to have that playback. Yeah, the nailor, you know,

281
00:13:56,440 --> 00:14:01,200
Speaker 4: the nailor interception. I think he looked, he's his decisiveness

282
00:14:01,360 --> 00:14:03,559
Speaker 4: was still there, right, And that's kind of I think,

283
00:14:03,640 --> 00:14:05,719
Speaker 4: what where all this is really turned around? Where you

284
00:14:05,720 --> 00:14:09,160
Speaker 4: don't see him standing in the pocket just looking around

285
00:14:09,280 --> 00:14:11,880
Speaker 4: trying to figure out he makes his reads and if

286
00:14:11,880 --> 00:14:14,240
Speaker 4: they're not there, then he either throws to check down

287
00:14:14,360 --> 00:14:16,240
Speaker 4: or pulls the thing down and starts to run. Like

288
00:14:16,440 --> 00:14:19,000
Speaker 4: even on the touchdown that he scored, had he waited

289
00:14:19,040 --> 00:14:22,640
Speaker 4: a fraction of a second longer, the rush would eventually

290
00:14:22,680 --> 00:14:23,800
Speaker 4: got to him and I don't know if he would

291
00:14:23,800 --> 00:14:26,000
Speaker 4: have made it into the end zone. So his his

292
00:14:26,160 --> 00:14:30,760
Speaker 4: decision making the accuracy still with some of the deeper throws,

293
00:14:31,640 --> 00:14:34,880
Speaker 4: I'm still I've been impressed with. I'm just getting concerned

294
00:14:34,880 --> 00:14:37,680
Speaker 4: about his ability to stay healthy. I mean it's you know,

295
00:14:37,760 --> 00:14:40,440
Speaker 4: it's the third time this year. Depending on what we

296
00:14:40,840 --> 00:14:42,760
Speaker 4: don't know me he might be fine, which would I

297
00:14:42,840 --> 00:14:45,400
Speaker 4: would be fantastic, but he still missed half of the game.

298
00:14:46,120 --> 00:14:49,200
Speaker 4: It's like it's okay now because we're trying to figure

299
00:14:49,240 --> 00:14:52,360
Speaker 4: out if the kid has it. It's not going to

300
00:14:52,400 --> 00:14:56,040
Speaker 4: be okay week three next year when you're two and

301
00:14:56,120 --> 00:14:59,280
Speaker 4: oh out of the gate and your quarterback makes it

302
00:14:59,400 --> 00:15:01,160
Speaker 4: through you know, I mean you're halfway through a game

303
00:15:01,200 --> 00:15:03,600
Speaker 4: and now you got to go to your backup. So

304
00:15:04,080 --> 00:15:07,680
Speaker 4: the concern that concern about him staying healthy is real.

305
00:15:08,880 --> 00:15:12,400
Speaker 4: Hopefully with him, you know, him getting older, he's still young,

306
00:15:12,720 --> 00:15:14,320
Speaker 4: you know. PA brings that up all the time, and

307
00:15:14,360 --> 00:15:18,480
Speaker 4: I appreciate that because I forget that he's he's twenty

308
00:15:18,760 --> 00:15:19,400
Speaker 4: he's twenty.

309
00:15:19,240 --> 00:15:20,160
Speaker 7: Two years old, yep.

310
00:15:20,280 --> 00:15:24,200

311
00:15:24,480 --> 00:15:26,600
Speaker 4: you know that'll that'll go by the wayside.

312
00:15:26,640 --> 00:15:27,920
Speaker 3: But it's a concern right now.

313
00:15:28,360 --> 00:15:29,400

Speaker 7: With Justin Jefferson. Six catches eighty five.

330
00:16:09,360 --> 00:16:12,760

331
00:16:12,800 --> 00:16:15,080
Speaker 8: down in the locker room after the w hat met life.

332
00:16:15,240 --> 00:16:18,520
Speaker 9: I'm standing here with a very happy and celebratory Justin

333
00:16:18,600 --> 00:16:20,680
Speaker 9: Jefferson with the big old smile. You knew what you

334
00:16:20,760 --> 00:16:23,120
Speaker 9: knew exactly how many stats and yards you had this time?

335
00:16:23,200 --> 00:16:24,640
Speaker 5: Didn't? Oh? For sure?

336
00:16:24,840 --> 00:16:27,200
Speaker 6: You know what a couple of plays, a couple of

337
00:16:27,240 --> 00:16:30,280
Speaker 6: big opportunities on third down, you know, me making some

338
00:16:30,600 --> 00:16:33,160
Speaker 6: big plays, and then of course you know, not really

339
00:16:33,280 --> 00:16:37,840
Speaker 6: having that you know, statistics for the past couple of weeks.

340
00:16:37,880 --> 00:16:39,320
Speaker 5: You know, I definitely was locked in today.

341
00:16:40,040 --> 00:16:42,720
Speaker 9: All right, I'm gonna put you on the spot here.

342
00:16:42,760 --> 00:16:46,040
Speaker 9: You had two incredible catches on the sidelines. You gotta

343
00:16:46,120 --> 00:16:48,160
Speaker 9: choose one. Which one was your favorite?

344
00:16:52,040 --> 00:16:54,400
Speaker 5: Yeah? For sure, I'm gonna say the second one. Yeah, yeah, he.

345
00:16:54,600 --> 00:16:55,680
Speaker 3: Naylor's answering for you.

346
00:16:55,840 --> 00:16:59,880
Speaker 6: Yeah, great ball, just the late hands and then total

347
00:17:00,120 --> 00:17:03,600
Speaker 6: been on the sideline on on that big third downs.

348
00:17:03,680 --> 00:17:05,960
Speaker 6: That's very big for our offense to continue those drives

349
00:17:06,000 --> 00:17:08,680
Speaker 6: and continue that momentum, and of course to give Max

350
00:17:08,720 --> 00:17:10,600
Speaker 6: to that confidence to continue to throw the ball.

351
00:17:11,280 --> 00:17:13,200
Speaker 5: So yeah, that that one was definitely one of my

352
00:17:13,240 --> 00:17:13,760
Speaker 5: favorite ones.

353
00:17:14,000 --> 00:17:15,800
Speaker 9: What did he say to you in the huddle after

354
00:17:15,880 --> 00:17:16,760
Speaker 9: that great catch?

355
00:17:17,720 --> 00:17:18,399
Speaker 5: Great catch.

356
00:17:20,200 --> 00:17:23,239
Speaker 6: But I always say, you know, I always practice those

357
00:17:23,280 --> 00:17:26,399
Speaker 6: type of catchers always, you know, just try to overdo

358
00:17:26,520 --> 00:17:29,199
Speaker 6: myself and in those type of situations. So for him

359
00:17:29,240 --> 00:17:31,639
Speaker 6: to give me that opportunity, for Ko to call that

360
00:17:31,760 --> 00:17:34,760
Speaker 6: play knowing that I'm most likely going to get that ball.

361
00:17:35,200 --> 00:17:37,119
Speaker 6: I mean, it's just time and time again. We just

362
00:17:37,160 --> 00:17:39,119
Speaker 6: got to continue to figure it out and continue to

363
00:17:39,160 --> 00:17:39,879
Speaker 6: connect with each other.

364
00:17:40,119 --> 00:17:42,119
Speaker 9: Did you guys expect that much pressure early in the

365
00:17:42,160 --> 00:17:44,320
Speaker 9: game any kind of throughout. They didn't seem to be

366
00:17:44,400 --> 00:17:46,800
Speaker 9: a heavy blitzing team, but really from the first play on,

367
00:17:46,960 --> 00:17:48,199
Speaker 9: they were there bringing some pressure.

368
00:17:48,400 --> 00:17:52,440
Speaker 6: Yeah, I would say, just you know, for further quarterbacks

369
00:17:52,480 --> 00:17:55,119
Speaker 6: to not hold onto the ball too long and not

370
00:17:55,600 --> 00:17:58,760
Speaker 6: us taking the top off of their defense.

371
00:17:59,119 --> 00:18:01,920
Speaker 5: So I'm them just trying to get us to quick

372
00:18:02,000 --> 00:18:02,359
Speaker 5: throw the.

373
00:18:02,359 --> 00:18:04,440
Speaker 6: Ball and getting it in and out of the quarterbacks

374
00:18:04,480 --> 00:18:06,840
Speaker 6: hands and for us to just go make those plays.

375
00:18:06,920 --> 00:18:10,120
Speaker 6: So those screens and the stuff in the first half,

376
00:18:10,280 --> 00:18:13,639
Speaker 6: those came from the blitz and us allowing to just

377
00:18:14,000 --> 00:18:16,440
Speaker 6: man on and just you know, go attack and go

378
00:18:16,520 --> 00:18:17,280
Speaker 6: get that first down.

379
00:18:17,720 --> 00:18:19,960
Speaker 9: It seemed like this game, more so than others, you're

380
00:18:20,000 --> 00:18:22,359
Speaker 9: involved in a lot more the quick underneath stuff, the

381
00:18:22,440 --> 00:18:25,520
Speaker 9: quick crossing routes, especially some of the yak yards that

382
00:18:25,600 --> 00:18:27,480
Speaker 9: you had, was that just a product of what they

383
00:18:27,520 --> 00:18:28,920
Speaker 9: were doing. Was that kind of built in the game

384
00:18:29,000 --> 00:18:31,200
Speaker 9: plan and kind of gets you involved underneath more often?

385
00:18:31,359 --> 00:18:31,960
Speaker 5: A little both.

386
00:18:32,560 --> 00:18:34,560
Speaker 6: I mean, just with how our defenses have been playing

387
00:18:34,600 --> 00:18:37,760
Speaker 6: me for the past two years, They're really.

388
00:18:37,640 --> 00:18:38,920
Speaker 5: Not allowing me to go deep.

389
00:18:38,960 --> 00:18:41,960
Speaker 6: They're not really allowing me to you know, take the

390
00:18:42,040 --> 00:18:44,040
Speaker 6: top off and to have those one hundred and fifty

391
00:18:44,080 --> 00:18:46,760
Speaker 6: yard games. So I mean, we got to get the

392
00:18:46,800 --> 00:18:48,920
Speaker 6: ball in my hand some type of way. So just

393
00:18:49,000 --> 00:18:51,320
Speaker 6: having those screens, having those quick plays to get me

394
00:18:51,400 --> 00:18:53,440
Speaker 6: the ball and let me just go work and get

395
00:18:53,440 --> 00:18:54,440
Speaker 6: those yards after the catch.

396
00:18:54,960 --> 00:18:56,840
Speaker 9: You know, I'm always curious when you're running some of

397
00:18:56,840 --> 00:18:58,720
Speaker 9: those plays and you're doing the yards after catch and

398
00:18:58,800 --> 00:19:01,520
Speaker 9: sometimes on the undesigned screenplays, are you aware of some

399
00:19:01,600 --> 00:19:03,600
Speaker 9: of the blocks are taking place out in front of

400
00:19:03,680 --> 00:19:05,119
Speaker 9: you or is this one of those things that you

401
00:19:05,200 --> 00:19:06,520
Speaker 9: just you just see color and you just try to

402
00:19:06,560 --> 00:19:07,120
Speaker 9: get past.

403
00:19:07,040 --> 00:19:08,360
Speaker 5: Them A little maxture both.

404
00:19:08,520 --> 00:19:11,200
Speaker 6: I'm kind of aware of the leverages and uh, you

405
00:19:11,280 --> 00:19:13,119
Speaker 6: know where my guys are going to be at for

406
00:19:13,320 --> 00:19:15,719
Speaker 6: for me to really take the you know, take the lanes.

407
00:19:16,359 --> 00:19:19,800
Speaker 5: But it's really you know, sea color, get away from me.

408
00:19:20,400 --> 00:19:21,040
Speaker 5: They keep going.

409
00:19:21,240 --> 00:19:23,760
Speaker 6: So it's just I mean, it's just all about going

410
00:19:23,800 --> 00:19:26,200
Speaker 6: to attack it. My mindset was just going that day

411
00:19:26,200 --> 00:19:29,280
Speaker 6: and attacking every play that I have, each opportunity that

412
00:19:29,320 --> 00:19:30,560
Speaker 6: I have, I got to make the most of them.

413
00:19:30,800 --> 00:19:33,160
Speaker 9: Yeah, I gotta tell you from just a football standpoint,

414
00:19:33,200 --> 00:19:35,840
Speaker 9: I mean, watching you guys run the screenplays, especially today,

415
00:19:35,880 --> 00:19:38,000
Speaker 9: it's pretty special because it takes everybody.

416
00:19:38,280 --> 00:19:40,720
Speaker 3: It takes timing, it takes rhythm, and it gets.

417
00:19:40,640 --> 00:19:42,800
Speaker 9: Guys a hat on a hat, and you know, I

418
00:19:42,840 --> 00:19:44,840
Speaker 9: think I don't think people really appreciate it, just like

419
00:19:45,040 --> 00:19:47,359
Speaker 9: the team effort it takes to have a successful screen.

420
00:19:47,520 --> 00:19:48,320
Speaker 5: Oh yeah, for sure.

421
00:19:48,520 --> 00:19:50,560
Speaker 6: You know, a screen that doesn't just happen from one

422
00:19:50,600 --> 00:19:53,920
Speaker 6: person and making everybody missing going score. It comes from

423
00:19:53,960 --> 00:19:56,560
Speaker 6: the O line getting getting out of their stance and

424
00:19:56,880 --> 00:19:59,240
Speaker 6: getting out to that to that why side the block

425
00:19:59,720 --> 00:20:02,000
Speaker 6: for the tight ends the receivers to block as well,

426
00:20:02,119 --> 00:20:04,040
Speaker 6: so uh, and then we always take an isition to

427
00:20:04,200 --> 00:20:06,239
Speaker 6: to block in a run game as well. So uh,

428
00:20:06,320 --> 00:20:09,000
Speaker 6: we're always trying to fight for one another. We're always

429
00:20:09,040 --> 00:20:11,800
Speaker 6: trying to uh spring open that play. Uh that big

430
00:20:11,880 --> 00:20:15,159
Speaker 6: play that we need for the momentum, for the for

431
00:20:15,240 --> 00:20:17,040
Speaker 6: the confidence of everybody else on that offense.

432
00:20:17,080 --> 00:20:18,879
Speaker 5: So I'm just glad that I was able to.

433
00:20:18,840 --> 00:20:20,760
Speaker 6: Get the ball a little bit, get those conversions on

434
00:20:20,920 --> 00:20:23,320
Speaker 6: third down, uh, and for the for the office to

435
00:20:23,359 --> 00:20:23,760
Speaker 6: keep moving.

436
00:20:24,160 --> 00:20:26,159
Speaker 3: Last one for me here is like, I know, it

437
00:20:26,240 --> 00:20:28,119
Speaker 3: was a little windy out there. It was cool. I

438
00:20:28,119 --> 00:20:30,040
Speaker 3: wouldn't make I wouldn't necessarily say cold.

439
00:20:30,080 --> 00:20:33,119
Speaker 9: But you guys, he had some difficulty coming down some

440
00:20:33,240 --> 00:20:35,720
Speaker 9: of those balls out there early on. You know, was

441
00:20:35,760 --> 00:20:37,399
Speaker 9: there something to that was the weather part of that

442
00:20:37,480 --> 00:20:37,719
Speaker 9: at all?

443
00:20:38,560 --> 00:20:41,639
Speaker 6: No, I wouldn't say, uh, the weather was a problem.

444
00:20:41,840 --> 00:20:45,040
Speaker 6: It's just, uh, it's just high how it happens, not

445
00:20:45,200 --> 00:20:47,960
Speaker 6: really you know, a specific thing. Of course, we gotta

446
00:20:48,080 --> 00:20:49,880
Speaker 6: you know, be more focused and be more and locked

447
00:20:49,920 --> 00:20:52,760
Speaker 6: in uh to you know, catching those balls and uh

448
00:20:52,920 --> 00:20:54,960
Speaker 6: to be on the same page with the quarterback. Uh.

449
00:20:55,200 --> 00:20:57,960
Speaker 6: But you know we're we're never gonna say any excuses

450
00:20:58,400 --> 00:21:00,119
Speaker 6: from us catching the ball. We gotta catch the all

451
00:21:00,160 --> 00:21:00,840
Speaker 6: at the end of the day.

452
00:21:01,040 --> 00:21:02,480
Speaker 9: Okay, I promise you this is the last one I

453
00:21:02,480 --> 00:21:06,159
Speaker 9: was gonna let's I do want to touch on on Brosmer.

454
00:21:06,240 --> 00:21:08,000
Speaker 9: I mean, it's a pretty tough spot for any backup

455
00:21:08,040 --> 00:21:11,080
Speaker 9: quarterback to come in, especially like that. You know, he continues,

456
00:21:11,119 --> 00:21:13,560
Speaker 9: at least from us on the outside looking in, to

457
00:21:13,760 --> 00:21:14,000
Speaker 9: just be.

458
00:21:14,680 --> 00:21:17,439
Speaker 3: Calm and collected. Is that how he feels when he's

459
00:21:17,480 --> 00:21:19,440
Speaker 3: in the huddles, Well, I definitely agree.

460
00:21:19,880 --> 00:21:23,000
Speaker 6: You know, you don't feel that nervous vibe. You don't

461
00:21:23,040 --> 00:21:26,040
Speaker 6: feel like he's too energetic or too hyped up.

462
00:21:26,000 --> 00:21:26,600
Speaker 5: For that moment.

463
00:21:27,040 --> 00:21:29,160
Speaker 6: He's just cool, calm and collected going in there doing

464
00:21:29,240 --> 00:21:31,520
Speaker 6: his job, leading in the offense to where we need

465
00:21:31,600 --> 00:21:34,399
Speaker 6: to go. But I mean, we always have confidence in

466
00:21:34,480 --> 00:21:37,520
Speaker 6: Max for confidence and JJ confidence and anybody to go

467
00:21:37,600 --> 00:21:39,240
Speaker 6: in there, go out there and do what we need

468
00:21:39,320 --> 00:21:41,119
Speaker 6: to do, just because of the preparation that we have

469
00:21:41,240 --> 00:21:44,440
Speaker 6: throughout the week, and of course the playmakers that we

470
00:21:44,520 --> 00:21:46,760
Speaker 6: have on the officive side of the ball. So we're

471
00:21:46,760 --> 00:21:49,040
Speaker 6: always confident in just going out there and playing our ball.

472
00:21:49,680 --> 00:21:51,040
Speaker 6: But this is the type of ball we should have

473
00:21:51,080 --> 00:21:53,280
Speaker 6: been playing for the whole entire season. So I'm just

474
00:21:53,359 --> 00:21:56,440
Speaker 6: glad that we're having that finished mindset rather than just

475
00:21:56,520 --> 00:21:59,960
Speaker 6: laying our heads, are planning our vacations in the offseason.

476
00:22:00,560 --> 00:22:03,280
Speaker 5: It's just going about our business. So I'm just happy

477
00:22:03,480 --> 00:22:04,640
Speaker 5: that I'm with this group of guys.

Speaker 2: then now with strictly be ball. My friend Nolan Newburg

544
00:24:52,960 --> 00:24:56,359
Speaker 2: and myself we grew up together and we always shared

545
00:24:56,359 --> 00:24:59,600
Speaker 2: the basketball passion and the social media passion, and we

546
00:24:59,720 --> 00:25:01,879
Speaker 2: just start making videos and posting him on social.

547
00:25:01,640 --> 00:25:02,879
Speaker 7: Media, and eventually.

548
00:25:04,000 --> 00:25:07,960
Speaker 2: Around twenty twenty we really took off on TikTok and

549
00:25:08,040 --> 00:25:10,160
Speaker 2: then start started doing a lot of high school basketball stuff,

550
00:25:10,160 --> 00:25:12,720
Speaker 2: which all started with Chet Holmgren went out to a

551
00:25:12,800 --> 00:25:15,560
Speaker 2: game filmed on our phones, made a recap of the game,

552
00:25:16,080 --> 00:25:19,120
Speaker 2: and that video got like five million views, and after

553
00:25:19,240 --> 00:25:22,560
Speaker 2: that we just decided to keep doing high school basketball stuff.

554
00:25:22,600 --> 00:25:25,600
Speaker 1: So do you know Chet, Yeah, we say, could you

555
00:25:25,640 --> 00:25:27,560

00:25:40,680 --> 00:25:41,200
Speaker 2: I will say that.

561
00:25:41,720 --> 00:25:45,399

564
00:25:50,440 --> 00:25:52,440
Speaker 2: regret this. We didn't come up with the idea to

565
00:25:52,680 --> 00:25:55,560
Speaker 2: cover those games and post them and like make recaps

566
00:25:56,119 --> 00:25:58,359
Speaker 2: until it was Chet senior year, So we missed the

00:27:42,000 --> 00:27:42,760
Speaker 7: Like what does that mean?

606
00:27:42,920 --> 00:27:46,320
Speaker 2: Yeah, So what we do most is high school basketball coverage.

607
00:27:46,680 --> 00:27:49,040
Speaker 2: We do all over the country now, but we always

608
00:27:49,080 --> 00:27:51,159
Speaker 2: try to keep a focus on Minnesota because we were

609
00:27:51,200 --> 00:27:53,560
Speaker 2: born here and we like to cover the athletes here.

610
00:27:53,680 --> 00:27:57,240
Speaker 2: So we actually partnered up with the Start Tribune and

616
00:28:10,240 --> 00:28:12,199
Speaker 1: Yeah, I don't want to put an l on somebody here,

617
00:28:12,240 --> 00:28:15,080
Speaker 1: but I know Star Tribune has really elevated its high

618
00:28:15,080 --> 00:28:18,720
Speaker 1: school coverage. Yes, I'm probably talking about something else, but continue, No,

619

Speaker 1: that's right, okay, yep.

620
