1 00:00:00,400 --> 00:00:04,560 Speaker 1: Uh, we're in the roster building season. We don't play 2 00:00:04,640 --> 00:00:09,320 Speaker 1: until September. I've checked the schedule and so that's uh, 3 00:00:09,440 --> 00:00:11,880 Speaker 1: there's there's gonna be a lot of there's a lot 4 00:00:11,880 --> 00:00:13,840 Speaker 1: of time to make a lot of decisions. So I 5 00:00:13,880 --> 00:00:16,959 Speaker 1: just want everybody to stand that just as a reminder, 6 00:00:17,520 --> 00:00:20,320 Speaker 1: I'm not going to discuss negotiations. I'm not going to 7 00:00:20,440 --> 00:00:23,960 Speaker 1: discuss timelines. To me, as far as I'm concerned, that's 8 00:00:23,960 --> 00:00:27,800 Speaker 1: a very personal um between the club and the and 9 00:00:27,840 --> 00:00:32,720 Speaker 1: the player. So don't don't ask, don't waste your time. Um, 10 00:00:33,320 --> 00:00:35,680 Speaker 1: I'll say this. It's a repeat of what I said 11 00:00:35,720 --> 00:00:41,320 Speaker 1: at my postseason presser. We didn't sign O'Dell to trade him. Okay, 12 00:00:41,840 --> 00:00:45,160 Speaker 1: So I know that's all over the place, So understand that. 13 00:00:45,280 --> 00:00:48,159 Speaker 1: And that's all I need to say about that. And 14 00:00:48,200 --> 00:00:50,280 Speaker 1: then the other thing I was I was here listening 15 00:00:50,320 --> 00:00:55,520 Speaker 1: to the questions you guys are asking Pat, and you know, 16 00:00:55,600 --> 00:00:57,840 Speaker 1: a lot, a lot of a lot of a lot 17 00:00:57,920 --> 00:01:01,480 Speaker 1: of times we focus on numbers. Okay, how big a 18 00:01:01,560 --> 00:01:04,679 Speaker 1: guy is, how fast a guy is, how strong a 19 00:01:04,720 --> 00:01:08,200 Speaker 1: guy is, what's his vertical jump, how tall is he? 20 00:01:08,319 --> 00:01:11,680 Speaker 1: What's his hand size, what's his arm length? There's all 21 00:01:11,760 --> 00:01:17,399 Speaker 1: these just a myriad of numbers and analytics delight, Okay, 22 00:01:17,440 --> 00:01:20,640 Speaker 1: of numbers. You know, one of the things that that 23 00:01:20,720 --> 00:01:27,560 Speaker 1: we really focus on is instincts. Okay, instincts are very important. 24 00:01:27,600 --> 00:01:30,320 Speaker 1: You know, you ask you guys were asking Pat the 25 00:01:30,400 --> 00:01:34,440 Speaker 1: question about the quarterback, about the quarterbacks, and you know, 26 00:01:35,520 --> 00:01:37,880 Speaker 1: you can write a laundry list of things you're looking 27 00:01:37,920 --> 00:01:40,880 Speaker 1: for and it's it's not like you're breaking new ground 28 00:01:41,040 --> 00:01:45,080 Speaker 1: and it's not like you're splitting atoms. Okay. But one 29 00:01:45,080 --> 00:01:48,520 Speaker 1: of the things that I focus on, and my staff 30 00:01:49,000 --> 00:01:52,120 Speaker 1: and we talked about all the time is instincts. Does 31 00:01:52,160 --> 00:01:55,200 Speaker 1: he have a feel for the game? You know, is 32 00:01:55,240 --> 00:01:57,200 Speaker 1: he playing? Is he is he a step ahead of 33 00:01:57,280 --> 00:02:02,680 Speaker 1: everybody else in stinks and play smots allow you to 34 00:02:02,760 --> 00:02:07,120 Speaker 1: play bigger, stronger, faster as a fact of life. So 35 00:02:07,560 --> 00:02:11,840 Speaker 1: you know, try you know, if you are a film watcher, 36 00:02:12,400 --> 00:02:15,200 Speaker 1: when you watch it, you know, try to try to 37 00:02:15,240 --> 00:02:18,520 Speaker 1: focus on that is this guy does he seem to 38 00:02:18,560 --> 00:02:22,440 Speaker 1: have I was I spent some time with an AUSSI 39 00:02:22,600 --> 00:02:26,919 Speaker 1: rules um player, a pro personnel guy a bunch of 40 00:02:27,000 --> 00:02:30,280 Speaker 1: years ago, and in Australia, they they say, when I 41 00:02:30,280 --> 00:02:32,760 Speaker 1: was explaining what I was talking about instincts, he said, 42 00:02:32,800 --> 00:02:34,840 Speaker 1: So you're saying to me, do they have the chip? 43 00:02:35,440 --> 00:02:39,080 Speaker 1: That's what they call it down there. So to answer 44 00:02:39,080 --> 00:02:43,520 Speaker 1: your question about tall quarterbacks, shot quarterbacks, you know, roly 45 00:02:43,600 --> 00:02:47,040 Speaker 1: poly defensive lineman a lot of its instincts and and 46 00:02:47,160 --> 00:02:51,520 Speaker 1: play smots. So with all that being said, let the 47 00:02:51,560 --> 00:03:07,920 Speaker 1: games begin. I'm sorry, likes hasn't an you do? You 48 00:03:07,960 --> 00:03:11,360 Speaker 1: know it? And it's really funny, you know obviously you know, 49 00:03:11,360 --> 00:03:13,639 Speaker 1: and I've said it before. It's a big man's game. 50 00:03:13,960 --> 00:03:16,640 Speaker 1: You know, you talk about all you want. You know, 51 00:03:16,720 --> 00:03:19,520 Speaker 1: the game's changing and everybody's you know, going crazy about 52 00:03:19,720 --> 00:03:22,200 Speaker 1: the stuff the college guys are doing. Bottom line is 53 00:03:22,360 --> 00:03:26,200 Speaker 1: the big man's game. So if you don't have size, 54 00:03:26,720 --> 00:03:30,040 Speaker 1: if you're missing uh a p Q of physical quality 55 00:03:30,120 --> 00:03:33,840 Speaker 1: so to speak, instincts can, instincts can it's you. You 56 00:03:33,919 --> 00:03:37,440 Speaker 1: have to have a what I call a compensating factor. Okay, 57 00:03:37,600 --> 00:03:42,840 Speaker 1: and the compensating factor can a lot of times is instinct. 58 00:03:42,880 --> 00:03:46,320 Speaker 1: Sam Mills was five nine may Rest in Peace was 59 00:03:46,400 --> 00:03:49,800 Speaker 1: five nine on his you know, in high iill sneakers, 60 00:03:49,840 --> 00:03:52,520 Speaker 1: but he could find the ball. The other day, I 61 00:03:52,560 --> 00:03:56,680 Speaker 1: was watching Luke. I was watching Carolina defensive film and 62 00:03:56,720 --> 00:03:58,680 Speaker 1: I was watching Luke and I'm just saying to myself, 63 00:03:58,720 --> 00:04:01,680 Speaker 1: I mean, he's it's like he's an no model. It's amazing, 64 00:04:02,160 --> 00:04:05,840 Speaker 1: you know so, and and that it's that doesn't that 65 00:04:06,000 --> 00:04:09,880 Speaker 1: doesn't just apply to a defensive player. It's applies to 66 00:04:09,960 --> 00:04:25,359 Speaker 1: every position on the field. Little Well, it's it's a 67 00:04:25,440 --> 00:04:28,400 Speaker 1: never ending process, Ralph. You know we haven't even hit 68 00:04:28,400 --> 00:04:33,400 Speaker 1: free agency yet, you know, so, um, you know, I 69 00:04:33,560 --> 00:04:35,480 Speaker 1: like I told you, I had my conversation with the 70 00:04:35,600 --> 00:04:38,800 Speaker 1: lie back right after, right after the season ended, and 71 00:04:39,160 --> 00:04:41,080 Speaker 1: we are where we are. Like Pat said, there's a 72 00:04:41,120 --> 00:04:45,080 Speaker 1: million different models. There's a million different ways to do this, 73 00:04:46,000 --> 00:04:50,640 Speaker 1: and uh, you could cite a number of of models 74 00:04:50,640 --> 00:04:53,039 Speaker 1: where they had a veteran guy and they drafted a 75 00:04:53,080 --> 00:04:55,560 Speaker 1: young guy and at some point in time, the torch 76 00:04:55,680 --> 00:04:59,200 Speaker 1: got pasted and you know, away everybody went and it 77 00:04:59,320 --> 00:05:03,159 Speaker 1: was a happy a everybody went. So, you know, it's 78 00:05:03,240 --> 00:05:06,120 Speaker 1: it's there's there's still a lot of time and to 79 00:05:06,160 --> 00:05:13,120 Speaker 1: make these decisions. I'm not I'm not. I can't say 80 00:05:13,120 --> 00:05:15,680 Speaker 1: anything like that. I can't do it. You don't know 81 00:05:15,720 --> 00:05:23,640 Speaker 1: what's gonna happen. You don't know. I just told you, 82 00:05:23,760 --> 00:05:27,280 Speaker 1: it's it's all we're evaluating everything and we just gotta 83 00:05:27,360 --> 00:05:38,200 Speaker 1: keep moving forward. Yeah, I'm not. You know, it's really funny. 84 00:05:38,240 --> 00:05:43,200 Speaker 1: We um for what it's worth, we really feel strongly 85 00:05:43,200 --> 00:05:45,280 Speaker 1: that if Sam we're in this draft, he'd be a 86 00:05:45,320 --> 00:05:49,559 Speaker 1: second round pick. We feel pretty strongly about that. So 87 00:05:49,960 --> 00:05:53,400 Speaker 1: while it's aggravating that we that we don't have a 88 00:05:53,440 --> 00:05:56,320 Speaker 1: third I mean, it's uh, you know, Sam steps up 89 00:05:56,360 --> 00:05:59,640 Speaker 1: and is he's doing really well with his rehab and everything. 90 00:05:59,680 --> 00:06:03,839 Speaker 1: That surgery went well, and so if if he's the 91 00:06:03,839 --> 00:06:06,520 Speaker 1: guy we think we believe he is, then we won't 92 00:06:06,520 --> 00:06:11,920 Speaker 1: be mad. I'm not asking about the negotiations long term. 93 00:06:12,080 --> 00:06:16,640 Speaker 1: You have a deadline next three. I guess, so, says 94 00:06:16,680 --> 00:06:20,040 Speaker 1: the NFL. If they say it, you gotta believe it. 95 00:06:22,320 --> 00:06:31,320 Speaker 1: Regards just to make sure you we're still evaluating. Like 96 00:06:31,360 --> 00:06:34,000 Speaker 1: Pat says, you, you know you always want you know 97 00:06:34,120 --> 00:06:36,680 Speaker 1: players on your you know you know good players on 98 00:06:36,720 --> 00:06:42,240 Speaker 1: your team. But you know, Joy Jodan, here's what everybody 99 00:06:42,240 --> 00:06:48,359 Speaker 1: has to understand. Okay, you've got fifty three players on 100 00:06:48,400 --> 00:06:51,040 Speaker 1: your club and you got a salary cap, right, Okay, 101 00:06:51,600 --> 00:06:56,960 Speaker 1: you can't you don't have fifty three silos. Decisions can't 102 00:06:57,200 --> 00:07:00,520 Speaker 1: decisions like this cannot be made in a vacuum. You 103 00:07:00,560 --> 00:07:11,040 Speaker 1: can't do it. So it's a process. Seriously, when you 104 00:07:11,120 --> 00:07:21,440 Speaker 1: look back, that's the shot answer is yes. Okay, you 105 00:07:21,440 --> 00:07:26,760 Speaker 1: want a little more than that. The shot answer is yes, 106 00:07:27,520 --> 00:07:31,680 Speaker 1: really and truly. Like Pat said, you know, we we 107 00:07:31,760 --> 00:07:35,120 Speaker 1: got came in and it was a weird and you know, 108 00:07:35,160 --> 00:07:37,800 Speaker 1: we evaluated the team as best we could, made decisions 109 00:07:38,240 --> 00:07:41,240 Speaker 1: move forward, and Bill feel very strongly we made some 110 00:07:41,280 --> 00:07:45,880 Speaker 1: good strides. Okay. You know, at the end of the day, 111 00:07:46,520 --> 00:07:48,920 Speaker 1: we saw what Eli was capable of once we gave 112 00:07:49,000 --> 00:07:52,760 Speaker 1: him help. You know, he still can make big league throws. 113 00:07:52,840 --> 00:07:56,080 Speaker 1: He can still make the NFL throws. And you know 114 00:07:56,160 --> 00:07:59,800 Speaker 1: it's it's it's I say it all the time. It's 115 00:07:59,840 --> 00:08:05,640 Speaker 1: the ultimate team game. It is because ten guys, you know, 116 00:08:05,720 --> 00:08:09,000 Speaker 1: do everything perfect and you know, the offensive lineman falls down. 117 00:08:09,840 --> 00:08:12,440 Speaker 1: You know, the guy gets whacked. You know. So to 118 00:08:12,520 --> 00:08:15,680 Speaker 1: answer your question, you know, we looked at Ely and 119 00:08:15,720 --> 00:08:25,360 Speaker 1: we feel good about him about this. Everybody around he's 120 00:08:28,480 --> 00:08:34,400 Speaker 1: we need the quarterback. Every quarterback that I didn't say 121 00:08:34,480 --> 00:08:39,240 Speaker 1: he needed everything to be perfect. Okay, what quarterback doesn't. 122 00:08:41,480 --> 00:08:49,080 Speaker 1: What's that? Well, you're talking about a thirty eight year 123 00:08:49,120 --> 00:08:51,600 Speaker 1: old guy against the twenty one year old pup. I mean, 124 00:08:51,679 --> 00:08:54,040 Speaker 1: you know you have to here's what I'm gonna say, 125 00:08:54,200 --> 00:08:56,480 Speaker 1: he's gonna say. And I've really been thinking about this. 126 00:08:56,559 --> 00:08:58,959 Speaker 1: I got a he had a headache. That's why I 127 00:08:59,040 --> 00:09:01,880 Speaker 1: hurt myself. I think I've really been thinking about this. 128 00:09:06,360 --> 00:09:13,600 Speaker 1: The narrative around ELI for the past four years, five 129 00:09:13,679 --> 00:09:18,040 Speaker 1: years since I was gone, it was really negative. The 130 00:09:18,160 --> 00:09:23,800 Speaker 1: narrative has been negative. And there's an old saying, you 131 00:09:23,840 --> 00:09:27,280 Speaker 1: tell a lie long enough, you believe it. The narrative 132 00:09:27,360 --> 00:09:32,000 Speaker 1: is so negative that when you take that position, most 133 00:09:32,040 --> 00:09:37,160 Speaker 1: people struggle getting off that spot. Most people struggling, struggle saying, 134 00:09:37,720 --> 00:09:40,319 Speaker 1: I'm gonna look at this with fresh eyes. So for example, 135 00:09:40,760 --> 00:09:45,800 Speaker 1: all right, when I'm when you evaluate pro players, every 136 00:09:45,880 --> 00:09:48,480 Speaker 1: year is a new is a new year. When you 137 00:09:48,600 --> 00:09:54,800 Speaker 1: evaluate him, it's a new year. Yes, before he was 138 00:09:55,320 --> 00:09:58,920 Speaker 1: at this level, but that doesn't mean when you look 139 00:09:58,960 --> 00:10:01,400 Speaker 1: at him he's automatic lee at this level or at 140 00:10:01,440 --> 00:10:05,440 Speaker 1: this level, You've got to take everything for what it's 141 00:10:05,440 --> 00:10:14,360 Speaker 1: worth at that time. And I think that the narrative 142 00:10:14,400 --> 00:10:18,760 Speaker 1: has been negative, and I don't think it's been fair 143 00:10:24,400 --> 00:10:27,120 Speaker 1: part of it. Yeah, you know, tom it it's gonna 144 00:10:27,160 --> 00:10:29,720 Speaker 1: go hand in hand. We live in a blame society. 145 00:10:30,440 --> 00:10:33,480 Speaker 1: That's where we live in. Okay, you know I got 146 00:10:33,480 --> 00:10:35,720 Speaker 1: in a car accident. It's his fault. No, maybe you 147 00:10:35,840 --> 00:10:39,480 Speaker 1: ran to stop sign you know, is there every everybody's 148 00:10:39,520 --> 00:10:43,520 Speaker 1: pointing fingers. No one wants to take responsibility. It's it's 149 00:10:43,520 --> 00:10:45,360 Speaker 1: part of it. It's like I told you, Like I said, Tom, 150 00:10:45,360 --> 00:10:49,120 Speaker 1: it's the ultimate team game. You know, you don't You 151 00:10:49,120 --> 00:10:51,240 Speaker 1: don't win it by yourself. You don't lose it by yourself. 152 00:10:55,920 --> 00:11:03,880 Speaker 1: Pretty clear idea, Yes we do. Yep. So is the 153 00:11:03,960 --> 00:11:09,760 Speaker 1: perception that you guys are sticky with purposes, keeping a 154 00:11:09,880 --> 00:11:14,080 Speaker 1: can down the road. You do not have to make another. No, 155 00:11:14,240 --> 00:11:17,760 Speaker 1: it's no, it's not. It really isn't it really is. 156 00:11:17,800 --> 00:11:20,440 Speaker 1: In free agency hasn't played out, the draft hasn't played out. 157 00:11:20,880 --> 00:11:26,040 Speaker 1: I don't think it's fair. You know listen, I have 158 00:11:26,200 --> 00:11:31,440 Speaker 1: this crazy idea that my responsibility is to every decision 159 00:11:31,520 --> 00:11:33,160 Speaker 1: we make is in the best interest of the New 160 00:11:33,240 --> 00:11:39,240 Speaker 1: York Giants. Okay, right, I think I said this before. 161 00:11:39,400 --> 00:11:42,040 Speaker 1: Ron Rivera used to kid me. He used to say, 162 00:11:42,080 --> 00:11:44,160 Speaker 1: wait until you have to cut one of your draft picks. 163 00:11:44,520 --> 00:11:46,560 Speaker 1: Because when I first got to Carolina, I didn't know 164 00:11:46,559 --> 00:11:49,000 Speaker 1: any of those guys, you know, so I had to 165 00:11:49,040 --> 00:11:51,679 Speaker 1: make moves, and you know, you do what you have 166 00:11:51,760 --> 00:11:55,800 Speaker 1: to do. And when the time came, I picked and 167 00:11:55,880 --> 00:11:59,079 Speaker 1: chose who we who we paid money to. I'm gonna 168 00:11:59,080 --> 00:12:02,520 Speaker 1: do the same thing here. This is not These decisions 169 00:12:02,559 --> 00:12:04,680 Speaker 1: are not made with my heart. They made with my 170 00:12:04,720 --> 00:12:10,439 Speaker 1: head and with the experience I have and and I've 171 00:12:10,440 --> 00:12:12,520 Speaker 1: been lucky. I've been around a few Super Bowl teams. 172 00:12:12,520 --> 00:12:14,320 Speaker 1: I know what it takes to build one. I know 173 00:12:14,360 --> 00:12:16,280 Speaker 1: what it should look like. And at the end of 174 00:12:16,280 --> 00:12:20,360 Speaker 1: the day, no, I don't think it's fair. Conceivably you 175 00:12:20,400 --> 00:12:30,480 Speaker 1: can see yes, and a quarterback, whether it's to challenge yes. 176 00:12:31,400 --> 00:12:37,720 Speaker 1: The only way you know, it's really funny. You you 177 00:12:37,880 --> 00:12:42,760 Speaker 1: can't be afraid to draft over a player. Okay, you 178 00:12:42,800 --> 00:12:45,760 Speaker 1: don't go, you don't, you don't. So you're in the draft. Okay, 179 00:12:45,800 --> 00:12:47,559 Speaker 1: You've gone to a free agency, you've got all your 180 00:12:47,920 --> 00:12:52,000 Speaker 1: all your stuff going, and you're sitting there and you've 181 00:12:52,040 --> 00:12:55,400 Speaker 1: got a good player at a position, and a young 182 00:12:55,520 --> 00:12:58,640 Speaker 1: kid comes up at that spot staring staring you in 183 00:12:58,640 --> 00:13:02,080 Speaker 1: the face. You can't be afraid to draft him just 184 00:13:02,120 --> 00:13:07,280 Speaker 1: because you already got one. The more competition you can create, 185 00:13:08,160 --> 00:13:11,280 Speaker 1: the better your team will be. And you have to 186 00:13:11,360 --> 00:13:16,959 Speaker 1: create competition at every position. You have to because if 187 00:13:17,000 --> 00:13:20,800 Speaker 1: you don't, unfortunately, human nature sometimes takes over and now 188 00:13:20,800 --> 00:13:24,000 Speaker 1: the guy gets a little lazy, and he's he thinks 189 00:13:24,040 --> 00:13:26,800 Speaker 1: he's annointed and all that other stuff. You know what 190 00:13:26,880 --> 00:13:32,840 Speaker 1: I'm saying that, So does that make sense? Situation where 191 00:13:35,080 --> 00:13:38,280 Speaker 1: any competition? What do you think bringing in competition might 192 00:13:38,320 --> 00:13:54,319 Speaker 1: actually absolutely, very very possible that that's gonna happen. I'm sorry, 193 00:13:55,800 --> 00:13:59,840 Speaker 1: you know, you know Jordan's you have to look at 194 00:14:00,040 --> 00:14:02,839 Speaker 1: the thing. I'm not gonna lie. I'm not saying I'm 195 00:14:02,840 --> 00:14:08,160 Speaker 1: gonna do anything. I'm just saying you have to. You know, 196 00:14:08,920 --> 00:14:12,400 Speaker 1: it's my job. It's my job to take everything in 197 00:14:12,440 --> 00:14:19,480 Speaker 1: a consideration. What about regulation, Well, you know, you guys 198 00:14:19,560 --> 00:14:22,720 Speaker 1: got to write about something. I guess I don't know. 199 00:14:22,840 --> 00:14:26,800 Speaker 1: You know, it's like, you know, you know, speculate all 200 00:14:26,840 --> 00:14:35,960 Speaker 1: you want. I've already made my statement on that. You know, again, 201 00:14:36,040 --> 00:14:40,120 Speaker 1: we're in the evaluation process. You know, I hope I'm 202 00:14:40,160 --> 00:14:46,920 Speaker 1: with the team this year. You think, why was I 203 00:14:47,000 --> 00:14:51,200 Speaker 1: comfortable trading Eli because of the value we got in return? 204 00:14:52,240 --> 00:14:55,600 Speaker 1: You know, and um, you thought it was in the 205 00:14:55,600 --> 00:15:01,240 Speaker 1: best interests of the New York Football Janets. M Oh, 206 00:15:01,320 --> 00:15:03,360 Speaker 1: you have to. I mean you can't. Again, I mean, 207 00:15:03,640 --> 00:15:06,560 Speaker 1: shame on me if I don't check my whole God 208 00:15:07,360 --> 00:15:12,160 Speaker 1: you know so, yes I did being around Super Bowl teams. 209 00:15:12,680 --> 00:15:22,400 Speaker 1: You haven't me personally. I've been spoiled as hell. Oh 210 00:15:22,480 --> 00:15:29,600 Speaker 1: you're kidding me. Kelly Elway, Manning, Cam Newton not bad 211 00:15:29,760 --> 00:15:41,040 Speaker 1: h now not who? Yeah? Exactly? Confidence the right guy 212 00:15:41,880 --> 00:15:51,640 Speaker 1: and that at some point in the next year. Listen, 213 00:15:53,280 --> 00:15:56,520 Speaker 1: you know it's really funny. I have I have one 214 00:15:56,560 --> 00:16:00,680 Speaker 1: of the best constantly edti's of all time. I talked 215 00:16:00,680 --> 00:16:04,160 Speaker 1: to Ernie all the time, and what Ernie did for 216 00:16:04,160 --> 00:16:06,760 Speaker 1: the Giants, it would be a dream for me to 217 00:16:06,760 --> 00:16:15,880 Speaker 1: do the same thing. Answer your question, OK, I'm sorry, quarterback, 218 00:16:19,960 --> 00:16:34,000 Speaker 1: how much talents at quarterback? How do you drive away 219 00:16:34,880 --> 00:16:39,560 Speaker 1: this year? You know, it's it's an interesting question. And 220 00:16:39,720 --> 00:16:41,880 Speaker 1: you know, I think at the end of the day, 221 00:16:43,400 --> 00:16:49,080 Speaker 1: you know you can't. You can't say to yourself, um, 222 00:16:49,120 --> 00:16:52,760 Speaker 1: I'm gonna get him next year. You have to. You 223 00:16:52,800 --> 00:16:56,360 Speaker 1: have to take the You evaluate the cues, and you 224 00:16:56,480 --> 00:16:58,720 Speaker 1: take the guy when the time is when you believe 225 00:16:58,760 --> 00:17:01,040 Speaker 1: he's the guy and it's at the right spot. You 226 00:17:01,120 --> 00:17:05,760 Speaker 1: can't worry about the future because you know now someone 227 00:17:05,760 --> 00:17:07,919 Speaker 1: else is gonna say, well, in two years there are 228 00:17:07,960 --> 00:17:12,200 Speaker 1: a couple of college quarterbacks coming out that are really amazing. 229 00:17:12,640 --> 00:17:16,359 Speaker 1: You know who knows, but so you know it's it's 230 00:17:17,200 --> 00:17:23,320 Speaker 1: you know, it's like I say to myself, I look 231 00:17:23,359 --> 00:17:27,520 Speaker 1: at the NBA, okay, and everybody says, oh, you gotta 232 00:17:27,640 --> 00:17:30,359 Speaker 1: you gotta tank. We're gonna tank. We're gonna get this. 233 00:17:30,440 --> 00:17:33,600 Speaker 1: Kate Jonathan, how you doing. Kids? You know we're gonna 234 00:17:33,640 --> 00:17:35,439 Speaker 1: you know, we're gonna do this. We're gonna tank and 235 00:17:35,440 --> 00:17:38,760 Speaker 1: we're gonna get this great player. What NBA team has 236 00:17:38,800 --> 00:17:43,800 Speaker 1: tanked and it's worked because they think they're gonna get 237 00:17:44,680 --> 00:17:47,159 Speaker 1: they have one when they win a championship. When they 238 00:17:47,160 --> 00:17:50,800 Speaker 1: win a championship, we can have a discussion. But until 239 00:17:50,840 --> 00:17:55,679 Speaker 1: that happens, it hasn't worked. Okay. So at the end 240 00:17:55,680 --> 00:17:59,200 Speaker 1: of the day, Um, if the guy, if the right 241 00:17:59,200 --> 00:18:01,680 Speaker 1: guy is there at the right time, you know who 242 00:18:01,680 --> 00:18:04,399 Speaker 1: we think is the right guy, we'll pull the plug. 243 00:18:06,920 --> 00:18:09,399 Speaker 1: Which which is just at the very beginning of the 244 00:18:09,480 --> 00:18:13,040 Speaker 1: of the process. You've got Indie, you've got the workouts, 245 00:18:13,119 --> 00:18:16,720 Speaker 1: we've got private visits, we've got interviews. You can't line 246 00:18:16,760 --> 00:18:18,840 Speaker 1: them up now. And if anybody hasn't lined up now, 247 00:18:18,880 --> 00:18:20,440 Speaker 1: God bless him. This smiler than me,
