Speaker 4: talked about it when we were on the show last week.

16
00:00:49,040 --> 00:00:52,760
Speaker 4: The Strand is just like immaculate vibes in hermos in Manhattan,

17
00:00:52,800 --> 00:00:54,760
Speaker 4: and I have a couple of friends with strandhouses, so

18
00:00:55,080 --> 00:00:59,280
Speaker 4: just yeah, just just know, Matt Staff just did the

19
00:00:59,360 --> 00:01:02,840
Speaker 4: walk down the Strand like seeing seeing everybody else rage

20
00:01:02,840 --> 00:01:05,040
Speaker 4: and have a good time and just waving from afar

21
00:01:05,080 --> 00:01:08,000
Speaker 4: because I've officially been pregnant for every holiday since Thanksgiving.

22
00:01:09,280 --> 00:01:11,600
Speaker 3: Wow, that's been great. All right, Well that's exciting. You know,

23
00:01:11,680 --> 00:01:14,039
Speaker 3: you got you got a big summer ahead, big summer.

24
00:01:14,080 --> 00:01:16,320
Speaker 3: We're in the red zone. We're feeling good, we're feeling happy.

25
00:01:16,440 --> 00:01:18,040
Speaker 3: Just hopefully she cooks for another week too.

26
00:01:19,640 --> 00:01:19,880
Speaker 5: All right.

27
00:01:19,920 --> 00:01:22,240
Speaker 3: We got Albert Breer coming up in five minutes. He's

28
00:01:22,319 --> 00:01:24,680
Speaker 3: jet setting against well, all these guys taking summer vacations.

29
00:01:24,680 --> 00:01:27,800
Speaker 3: We're just work. We grind, all right, let me let

30
00:01:27,840 --> 00:01:31,000
Speaker 3: me quickly go. So a lot of NBA free agency

31
00:01:31,000 --> 00:01:31,759
Speaker 3: has been decided.

32
00:01:31,840 --> 00:01:32,360
Speaker 2: Not everything.

33
00:01:32,360 --> 00:01:35,760
Speaker 3: Bradley Biel could still move. You've got big got Jonathan Kuminga.

34
00:01:36,120 --> 00:01:38,880
Speaker 3: I don't know if he's adjusting the odds of anybody,

35
00:01:39,160 --> 00:01:41,280
Speaker 3: but we decided to come up with a Jmax six

36
00:01:41,360 --> 00:01:46,080
Speaker 3: pack as of now, the six pack of NBA teams

37
00:01:46,080 --> 00:01:47,800
Speaker 3: that can win the championship next year.

38
00:01:48,000 --> 00:01:50,120
Speaker 2: Now, as I was reminded.

39
00:01:49,520 --> 00:01:51,880
Speaker 3: This morning, if we had done this last year at

40
00:01:51,880 --> 00:01:54,680
Speaker 3: this time, it would have been Boston Celtics one through six.

41
00:01:55,240 --> 00:01:57,680
Speaker 3: Everybody thought they were gonna repeat. They had a loaded team.

42
00:01:57,960 --> 00:02:01,320
Speaker 3: They just won the chip. I mean they were absolutely

43
00:02:01,360 --> 00:02:04,240
Speaker 3: stacked and didn't get out of the second round.

44
00:02:04,280 --> 00:02:05,520
Speaker 2: So keep that in mind.

45
00:02:05,880 --> 00:02:08,320
Speaker 3: No, defending champ has gotten out of the second round

46
00:02:08,520 --> 00:02:12,280
Speaker 3: since the Kadi Curry Warriors. Let's have the six pack.

47
00:02:12,560 --> 00:02:14,920
Speaker 3: Let's get started with. I think we're starting with the

48
00:02:15,040 --> 00:02:19,800
Speaker 3: Cleveland Cavaliers in the East, mostly because they retain almost.

49
00:02:19,520 --> 00:02:20,400
Speaker 2: Everyone on their team.

50
00:02:20,760 --> 00:02:24,360
Speaker 3: They did lose tied Jerome rotational guy had a good season.

51
00:02:24,720 --> 00:02:27,840
Speaker 3: But when you keep the core Garland coming off to

52
00:02:27,840 --> 00:02:32,560
Speaker 3: tow injury in the in the playoffs, MOBLEI Allen Mitchell

53
00:02:33,160 --> 00:02:35,760
Speaker 3: is a good team. DeAndre Hunters now had we'll have

54
00:02:35,800 --> 00:02:36,560
Speaker 3: a full season.

55
00:02:36,840 --> 00:02:37,160
Speaker 2: Listen.

56
00:02:37,240 --> 00:02:39,119
Speaker 3: I know Cleveland, it's tough to think of them winning

57
00:02:39,160 --> 00:02:42,520
Speaker 3: a chip without Lebron, but guys, the pieces are there

58
00:02:43,080 --> 00:02:43,680
Speaker 3: for sure.

59
00:02:44,040 --> 00:02:46,000
Speaker 2: I think the Cleveland Cavaliers are one or two.

60
00:02:45,800 --> 00:02:46,240
Speaker 6: In the East.

61
00:02:46,600 --> 00:02:48,760
Speaker 3: Let's go to the next team and that is the

62
00:02:48,800 --> 00:02:52,640
Speaker 3: New York Knickerbockers. Yep, do they still call them Knickerbockers

63
00:02:52,720 --> 00:02:55,560
Speaker 3: either way. So last year, the Knicks added two new

64
00:02:55,639 --> 00:03:01,440
Speaker 3: starters in Towns and Bridges. Obviously very difficult to dominate

65
00:03:01,480 --> 00:03:03,959
Speaker 3: right out of the gate with two new starters. Well,

66
00:03:04,000 --> 00:03:05,520
Speaker 3: now this year the Knicks I will have a new

67
00:03:05,560 --> 00:03:08,800
Speaker 3: head coach, but it looks like they're going to retain

68
00:03:08,840 --> 00:03:10,960
Speaker 3: everyone else from the starting lineup, added two guys to

69
00:03:11,000 --> 00:03:11,400
Speaker 3: the bench.

70
00:03:12,080 --> 00:03:14,000
Speaker 2: I you know, listen, Mike Brown, I like.

71
00:03:14,040 --> 00:03:16,600
Speaker 3: Him if he plays his cards right and uses more

72
00:03:16,600 --> 00:03:19,520
Speaker 3: bench and keeps his guys fresh for the postseason. I

73
00:03:19,560 --> 00:03:21,320
Speaker 3: don't see why this isn't a fifty five to six

74
00:03:21,400 --> 00:03:24,399
Speaker 3: win team, sixty win team, and I think they're top

75
00:03:24,480 --> 00:03:27,040
Speaker 3: two in the East, maybe number one, and the garden

76
00:03:27,440 --> 00:03:30,320
Speaker 3: home court advantage will be sick in the postseason. All right,

77
00:03:30,400 --> 00:03:32,480
Speaker 3: let's go to the West because nobody else is good

78
00:03:32,520 --> 00:03:34,080
Speaker 3: in the East, and we're gonna go Lakers.

79
00:03:34,160 --> 00:03:37,680
Speaker 2: I know, I know, Jay Mack, you're crazy. Were doing well.

80
00:03:37,760 --> 00:03:40,320
Speaker 2: Let's see if they add Bradley Beild there for sure in.

81
00:03:40,240 --> 00:03:42,080
Speaker 3: The six pack, and I'm gonna put them here out

82
00:03:42,080 --> 00:03:44,360
Speaker 3: of respect to I don't know, two of the five

83
00:03:44,360 --> 00:03:46,840
Speaker 3: best players in the league in Luca and Lebron.

84
00:03:47,280 --> 00:03:49,960
Speaker 2: Oh, Jay, what happened against Minnesota? Well, I don't know.

85
00:03:50,000 --> 00:03:53,040
Speaker 3: They had like twenty games together to work out the Kings.

86
00:03:53,320 --> 00:03:54,680
Speaker 2: They had no center.

87
00:03:55,640 --> 00:03:57,600
Speaker 3: Can we just take a deep breath and say, like

88
00:03:57,720 --> 00:04:01,640
Speaker 3: they lost to the Timberwolves and nobody really saw it coming,

89
00:04:02,080 --> 00:04:03,000
Speaker 3: They're gonna be fine.

90
00:04:03,200 --> 00:04:05,240
Speaker 2: The Lakers are certainly one of the six best.

91
00:04:05,040 --> 00:04:08,400
Speaker 3: Teams in the league. Next up, Denver Nuggets. I like

92
00:04:08,520 --> 00:04:11,480
Speaker 3: the offseason they've had. They're putting all their chips in

93
00:04:11,560 --> 00:04:15,760
Speaker 3: for now. Cam Johnson for Michael Porter Jr. Feels like

94
00:04:15,760 --> 00:04:19,039
Speaker 3: a slight upgrade, not a huge one because MPJ.

95
00:04:18,880 --> 00:04:20,000
Speaker 2: Is a much better scorer.

96
00:04:20,360 --> 00:04:21,880
Speaker 3: But I think Cam Johnson will be good. I like

97
00:04:21,920 --> 00:04:23,000
Speaker 3: Bruce Brown coming.

98
00:04:22,800 --> 00:04:27,400
Speaker 2: Back getting off Russell Westbrook. I think they added.

99
00:04:27,080 --> 00:04:31,839
Speaker 3: Tim Hardaway to Yeah, Tim Hardaway, They've done.

100
00:04:31,720 --> 00:04:32,320
Speaker 2: A good job.

101
00:04:32,839 --> 00:04:34,919
Speaker 3: And remember Aaron Gordon was hurt in Game seven with

102
00:04:34,960 --> 00:04:38,640
Speaker 3: the ankle or maybe they beat OKC. Next up the

103
00:04:38,720 --> 00:04:41,880
Speaker 3: Houston Rockets. I think they've won the offseason more than anybody.

104
00:04:42,240 --> 00:04:44,880
Speaker 3: I mean, they added Kevin Durant, look at this, they

105
00:04:44,880 --> 00:04:50,400
Speaker 3: added Climp Capella, and they added Dorian Finney Smith. Essentially,

106
00:04:50,760 --> 00:04:55,039
Speaker 3: the Rockets got better than anybody and they lost like nothing,

107
00:04:55,120 --> 00:04:57,520
Speaker 3: Dylan Brooks and Jalen Green and a first round pick.

108
00:04:57,800 --> 00:04:59,560
Speaker 3: I think you could look for guys like Reed Shepherd

109
00:04:59,600 --> 00:05:03,200
Speaker 3: to step up big time. I would not be surprised

110
00:05:03,279 --> 00:05:05,800
Speaker 3: at all if shen Goon is an All Star once again,

111
00:05:05,880 --> 00:05:09,200
Speaker 3: Jabari Smith less pressure Aman Thompson rising star.

112
00:05:09,560 --> 00:05:10,240
Speaker 2: Houston's good.

113
00:05:10,320 --> 00:05:12,400
Speaker 3: I think the team to beat in the West Houston

114
00:05:12,480 --> 00:05:13,960
Speaker 3: Rockets in the Jmax six pack.

115
00:05:14,120 --> 00:05:15,120
Speaker 2: And I know you're waiting.

116
00:05:14,920 --> 00:05:18,120
Speaker 3: On one last team, Okac Thunder.

117
00:05:18,440 --> 00:05:19,280
Speaker 2: I'm not gonna lie.

118
00:05:19,360 --> 00:05:24,080
Speaker 3: I had for a moment Orlando in this spot over OKC. Yeah,

119
00:05:24,080 --> 00:05:26,239
Speaker 3: that's real. I could see Alex looking at me like Jmack,

120
00:05:26,279 --> 00:05:28,520
Speaker 3: what's wrong with you. I'm just gonna remind you guys.

121
00:05:29,160 --> 00:05:33,680
Speaker 3: SGA got paid, Chad Holbern got paid. There it's a

122
00:05:33,839 --> 00:05:37,159
Speaker 3: different mentality and mindset among the players, and history bears

123
00:05:37,160 --> 00:05:41,239
Speaker 3: this out. If you haven't won the chip, haven't gotten paid.

124
00:05:41,360 --> 00:05:45,680
Speaker 3: Its front, front of office. That's a top priority. That's everything.

125
00:05:46,720 --> 00:05:47,920
Speaker 2: Well, now they got the title.

126
00:05:48,200 --> 00:05:50,560
Speaker 3: SGA's got all the accolades, he's got all the money

127
00:05:50,760 --> 00:05:52,000
Speaker 3: that hunger desires.

128
00:05:52,200 --> 00:05:53,800
Speaker 2: Not quite there. Yes they're young.

129
00:05:54,080 --> 00:05:56,679
Speaker 3: Yes, they're probably gonna win fifty to sixty games, maybe

130
00:05:56,720 --> 00:06:00,000
Speaker 3: sixty two. I don't know that they're gonna win the Championshi.

131
00:06:00,000 --> 00:06:02,000
Speaker 3: But again, you guys can better go for it. I'm

132
00:06:02,040 --> 00:06:04,760
Speaker 3: not doing that. So there's the Jmax six pack heading

133
00:06:04,760 --> 00:06:09,840
Speaker 3: into next season. Oh my gosh, who you doing these graphics?

134
00:06:09,920 --> 00:06:11,120
Speaker 2: For everyone listening?

135
00:06:11,160 --> 00:06:13,400
Speaker 4: You guys, there is a photo of j Mac on

136
00:06:13,600 --> 00:06:14,640
Speaker 4: the screen that is.

137
00:06:14,680 --> 00:06:19,880
Speaker 3: So on brand I'm in a tank top. Yes, that's

138
00:06:19,880 --> 00:06:22,599
Speaker 3: a good job. I think that's Timy or Scott. Shout

139
00:06:22,600 --> 00:06:26,160
Speaker 3: out to those guys. All right, let's go to Albert

140
00:06:26,200 --> 00:06:31,760
Speaker 3: Breer live from Nantucket. Yes, that is a big look

141
00:06:31,800 --> 00:06:34,120
Speaker 3: at that tan on this guy. Oh my gosh, what

142
00:06:34,560 --> 00:06:36,480
Speaker 3: are you doing this summer? He's just on a lobster boat.

143
00:06:36,680 --> 00:06:37,320
Speaker 3: What's going on?

144
00:06:38,360 --> 00:06:41,320
Speaker 6: No? No, no, no lobster boat for me. But yeah,

145
00:06:41,320 --> 00:06:42,880
Speaker 6: this is a couple of weeks. I shut it down.

146
00:06:43,000 --> 00:06:47,880
Speaker 6: And one of my few strengths j Mack is my

147
00:06:47,920 --> 00:06:50,480
Speaker 6: ability to answer. Everybody can see them on the screen now.

148
00:06:50,680 --> 00:06:52,880
Speaker 3: Yes, yes, I'm close in personal all right, before we

149
00:06:52,960 --> 00:06:55,880
Speaker 3: get to NFL. I know you're a huge college football guy,

150
00:06:56,080 --> 00:06:59,400
Speaker 3: and Dion Sanders came out this week and essentially, so

151
00:06:59,600 --> 00:07:01,800
Speaker 3: we need a salary cap in college football.

152
00:07:01,960 --> 00:07:05,000
Speaker 2: So we're we went from like players.

153
00:07:04,600 --> 00:07:07,440
Speaker 3: Can't get paid five years ago to nil to salary

154
00:07:07,520 --> 00:07:09,760
Speaker 3: like it's exploding at a pace that I don't think

155
00:07:09,760 --> 00:07:10,920
Speaker 3: anybody could have foreseen.

156
00:07:11,920 --> 00:07:12,360
Speaker 2: Your buck.

157
00:07:12,400 --> 00:07:15,280
Speaker 3: Guys are always big spenders, but when you hear salary

158
00:07:15,320 --> 00:07:18,720
Speaker 3: cap in college football, that just it just doesn't seem

159
00:07:18,720 --> 00:07:20,040
Speaker 3: to make a ton of sense, does it.

160
00:07:21,680 --> 00:07:24,200
Speaker 6: I mean, I think I understand what Deon's saying, and

161
00:07:24,240 --> 00:07:26,800
Speaker 6: I think what Deon's saying is a small version of

162
00:07:26,840 --> 00:07:30,760
Speaker 6: a bigger topic that college coaches have been discussing for

163
00:07:31,360 --> 00:07:34,480
Speaker 6: years now, which is we need guardrails. We need some

164
00:07:34,560 --> 00:07:38,280
Speaker 6: sort of system that will put rules in place that

165
00:07:38,360 --> 00:07:41,240
Speaker 6: everybody has to play by that you know, maybe isn't

166
00:07:41,240 --> 00:07:44,040
Speaker 6: apples to apples from program to program based on what

167
00:07:44,120 --> 00:07:46,960
Speaker 6: program you're at, but gives everybody a fighting chance. And

168
00:07:47,520 --> 00:07:49,720
Speaker 6: you know, I think if you're at a place like Colorado,

169
00:07:49,800 --> 00:07:52,440
Speaker 6: which is not you know, a blue blood at the

170
00:07:52,520 --> 00:07:55,640
Speaker 6: level of Alabama or an Ohio State or at Texas,

171
00:07:56,280 --> 00:07:59,000
Speaker 6: then it really does behoove you to have those sorts

172
00:07:59,000 --> 00:08:02,800
Speaker 6: of guardrails in play and have some limits on how

173
00:08:02,880 --> 00:08:06,000
Speaker 6: much you can spend. And so what'll be interesting about

174
00:08:06,000 --> 00:08:07,880
Speaker 6: this to me at least is two things. The first

175
00:08:07,880 --> 00:08:11,320
Speaker 6: thing I think would be, you know what this looks

176
00:08:11,400 --> 00:08:14,000
Speaker 6: like with the nil piece, because even though there is

177
00:08:14,040 --> 00:08:17,520
Speaker 6: that PETE the revenue share that goes up to twenty million,

178
00:08:18,240 --> 00:08:20,080
Speaker 6: you do have like the other piece of it, which

179
00:08:20,080 --> 00:08:22,720
Speaker 6: is nil, and our school is going to be able

180
00:08:22,720 --> 00:08:25,800
Speaker 6: to spend above the twenty million nil. How do you

181
00:08:25,840 --> 00:08:30,480
Speaker 6: classify nil versus money that's coming from the school. I

182
00:08:30,480 --> 00:08:33,280
Speaker 6: think all of that needs clarification, you know. And then

183
00:08:33,320 --> 00:08:35,360
Speaker 6: I think the other one that's really obvious is whether

184
00:08:35,480 --> 00:08:38,760
Speaker 6: or not they unionize. And you know, forever and ever

185
00:08:38,840 --> 00:08:42,640
Speaker 6: and ever, the NCAAA has pushed back against any sort

186
00:08:42,679 --> 00:08:45,960
Speaker 6: of any sort of thought that these guys would be

187
00:08:45,960 --> 00:08:48,280
Speaker 6: classified as employees. But if you're going to put a

188
00:08:48,320 --> 00:08:52,160
Speaker 6: salary cap in place, it would pretty much necessitate a

189
00:08:52,200 --> 00:08:56,679
Speaker 6: collective bargaining agreement, which would necessity unionization and making these

190
00:08:56,679 --> 00:08:57,600
Speaker 6: guys employees.

191
00:08:57,679 --> 00:09:00,480
Speaker 3: So when you listen to Dion, it almost sounds like

192
00:09:00,520 --> 00:09:02,920
Speaker 3: he's maybe losing out on recruits to I don't know,

193
00:09:03,080 --> 00:09:05,440
Speaker 3: the Texas Text of the World. Here is audio of

194
00:09:05,480 --> 00:09:09,520
Speaker 3: Dion talking about a salary cap need albut I.

195
00:09:09,480 --> 00:09:11,720
Speaker 7: Wish it was a cap, you know, like the top

196
00:09:11,760 --> 00:09:14,080
Speaker 7: of the line player makes this. And if you're not

197
00:09:14,200 --> 00:09:15,880
Speaker 7: that type of guy, you know you're not gonna make that.

198
00:09:16,000 --> 00:09:18,760
Speaker 7: This is what the NFL does. So the problem is

199
00:09:18,800 --> 00:09:21,680
Speaker 7: you got a guy that's not that durn good, but

200
00:09:21,760 --> 00:09:24,040
Speaker 7: he could go to another school and they give him

201
00:09:24,040 --> 00:09:25,600
Speaker 7: a half a million dollars and you can't you can't

202
00:09:25,600 --> 00:09:27,640
Speaker 7: compete with that. That don't make sense say, all you

203
00:09:27,640 --> 00:09:29,000
Speaker 7: have to do is look at the playoffs and see

204
00:09:29,000 --> 00:09:32,560
Speaker 7: what those teams spent. And you understand during the white

205
00:09:32,640 --> 00:09:34,880
Speaker 7: in the playoffs, it's kind of hard to compete with

206
00:09:35,000 --> 00:09:38,640
Speaker 7: somebody who's giving twenty five thirty million dollars. So during freshman.

207
00:09:38,360 --> 00:09:42,280
Speaker 8: Class it is. It's crazy.

208
00:09:42,360 --> 00:09:44,679
Speaker 7: It seems that pays the more, pays the most is

209
00:09:44,720 --> 00:09:46,520
Speaker 7: gonna be then in So.

210
00:09:47,200 --> 00:09:49,920
Speaker 3: Again, you're just wrapping about college football. Do you think

211
00:09:50,080 --> 00:09:51,880
Speaker 3: we will see one here in the next like five

212
00:09:52,000 --> 00:09:54,280
Speaker 3: years or is there just too much layer? Like you

213
00:09:54,320 --> 00:09:57,520
Speaker 3: mentioned the word union that's insane for college football.

214
00:09:57,640 --> 00:10:01,240
Speaker 6: Come on, yeah, I don't know how you solve it.

215
00:10:01,320 --> 00:10:03,720
Speaker 6: And you know, once the genie got out of the bottle,

216
00:10:03,760 --> 00:10:05,480
Speaker 6: I don't think there was any putting it back in.

217
00:10:07,280 --> 00:10:09,920
Speaker 6: But I also don't know how you put enough rules

218
00:10:09,920 --> 00:10:12,880
Speaker 6: in place to make it fair for everybody unless you

219
00:10:12,920 --> 00:10:15,400
Speaker 6: turn the guys into employees. And then if you're going

220
00:10:15,480 --> 00:10:18,600
Speaker 6: to put a cap on what employees can make, well

221
00:10:18,640 --> 00:10:21,320
Speaker 6: that needs to be negotiated with the employees, which would

222
00:10:21,400 --> 00:10:25,960
Speaker 6: require the employees being in a union. So I like,

223
00:10:26,040 --> 00:10:28,480
Speaker 6: there's no easy answers here, Jmac. I mean, it just

224
00:10:28,520 --> 00:10:31,360
Speaker 6: sort of is what it is. And you know there,

225
00:10:31,440 --> 00:10:33,480
Speaker 6: I think there was an opportunity over the last twenty

226
00:10:33,559 --> 00:10:37,480
Speaker 6: years for the NCAAA, for the conferences to get a

227
00:10:37,520 --> 00:10:40,720
Speaker 6: hold of this early, and get in early and try

228
00:10:40,760 --> 00:10:43,000
Speaker 6: to fix this early and create some sort of order

229
00:10:43,120 --> 00:10:46,439
Speaker 6: and rules and guardrails and all of that stuff. And

230
00:10:46,760 --> 00:10:49,640
Speaker 6: unfortunately there wasn't the leadership at the NCAA level with

231
00:10:49,679 --> 00:10:52,160
Speaker 6: guys like Mark Emritt to do that. Those guys were

232
00:10:52,200 --> 00:10:56,880
Speaker 6: more concerned with just collecting every check until the until

233
00:10:56,920 --> 00:11:00,680
Speaker 6: the money train stopped rolling, you know, And so now

234
00:11:00,760 --> 00:11:03,040
Speaker 6: everybody else has left to pick up the pieces. And

235
00:11:03,200 --> 00:11:05,840
Speaker 6: I think it's, you know again, it's sort of unpredictable

236
00:11:06,520 --> 00:11:07,559
Speaker 6: which way that's all going to go.

237
00:11:07,600 --> 00:11:09,000
Speaker 2: All right, let's pivot to the NFL.

238
00:11:09,360 --> 00:11:13,280
Speaker 3: The new Quarterback Show on Netflix debuted, and it seems

239
00:11:13,280 --> 00:11:15,760
Speaker 3: like Kirk Cousins is I don't want to say a

240
00:11:15,760 --> 00:11:20,000
Speaker 3: sympathetic figure, but I mean, you're laughing. I think a

241
00:11:20,000 --> 00:11:21,320
Speaker 3: lot of people are like, who cares about this guy?

242
00:11:21,320 --> 00:11:22,240
Speaker 2: He's made a lot of money.

243
00:11:22,960 --> 00:11:24,920
Speaker 3: I keep going back to this when the first when

244
00:11:24,960 --> 00:11:27,640
Speaker 3: it first happened that they traded up for Penis six

245
00:11:27,679 --> 00:11:30,120
Speaker 3: weeks after signing Cousins to one hundred million guaranteed. It

246
00:11:30,120 --> 00:11:34,679
Speaker 3: felt like, WHOA, that's kind of dirty. Kirk Cousins. I

247
00:11:34,720 --> 00:11:37,640
Speaker 3: feel like he was misled by Atlanta, Like if they had.

248
00:11:37,559 --> 00:11:40,319
Speaker 2: Told him drafting Pennix, he probably would not have.

249
00:11:40,320 --> 00:11:43,680
Speaker 6: Signed there, right, Yeah, And I think, like the on

250
00:11:43,720 --> 00:11:46,520
Speaker 6: the Quarterback Show, he laid it out like as clearly

251
00:11:46,520 --> 00:11:48,520
Speaker 6: as he's laid it out, or I think anybody's laid

252
00:11:48,520 --> 00:11:51,120
Speaker 6: it out, which is more or less that the Vikings

253
00:11:51,160 --> 00:11:53,679
Speaker 6: wanted him to go to year to year and I

254
00:11:54,240 --> 00:11:55,800
Speaker 6: think a lot of us knew this at the time.

255
00:11:55,920 --> 00:11:58,280
Speaker 6: And yeah, there was some reporting out there on this

256
00:11:58,360 --> 00:12:00,360
Speaker 6: that he was looking for a multi year commit from

257
00:12:00,400 --> 00:12:04,599
Speaker 6: a team that beyond just the money, beyond just the guarantees,

258
00:12:05,880 --> 00:12:07,400
Speaker 6: you know, a statement like this guy's going to be

259
00:12:07,440 --> 00:12:10,400
Speaker 6: our quarterback for the foreseeable future. And that's reflected in

260
00:12:10,440 --> 00:12:13,920
Speaker 6: the contract that we negotiated with him. And again, like

261
00:12:13,960 --> 00:12:17,560
Speaker 6: the Vikings were through going through this process of resetting

262
00:12:17,600 --> 00:12:21,520
Speaker 6: their roster, of of getting some of the older players

263
00:12:21,520 --> 00:12:23,480
Speaker 6: out of there, getting younger at key spots. You sow

264
00:12:23,480 --> 00:12:26,040
Speaker 6: at the edge rusher position for example, was a really good,

265
00:12:26,960 --> 00:12:29,920
Speaker 6: a really good, really good example of that, like where

266
00:12:29,960 --> 00:12:31,720
Speaker 6: they move out to Neil Hunter and they bring in

267
00:12:31,760 --> 00:12:34,959
Speaker 6: Andrew van Ginkol and Jonathan Gernard and they draft Alice Turner,

268
00:12:36,280 --> 00:12:40,040
Speaker 6: and so like the the idea there was, well, yeah, Kirk,

269
00:12:40,160 --> 00:12:42,240
Speaker 6: we're willing to bring you back, we're willing to pay

270
00:12:42,280 --> 00:12:45,920
Speaker 6: you market value. But that does not mean we're not

271
00:12:45,960 --> 00:12:48,680
Speaker 6: going to draft a quarterback. We're picking higher than we

272
00:12:48,720 --> 00:12:51,559
Speaker 6: plan to pick for some time. And you know, if

273
00:12:51,559 --> 00:12:53,640
Speaker 6: the quarterback is there that we like, we're going to

274
00:12:53,679 --> 00:12:55,679
Speaker 6: take him. And that means we can't guarantee that you're

275
00:12:55,720 --> 00:12:57,640
Speaker 6: going to be the quarterback in twenty twenty five and

276
00:12:57,720 --> 00:12:59,520
Speaker 6: going forward. We'll give you the job in twenty four.

277
00:12:59,559 --> 00:13:03,320
Speaker 6: But that's where it and the Falcons contract reflected that

278
00:13:03,559 --> 00:13:05,120
Speaker 6: they were going to do more than that, that they

279
00:13:05,160 --> 00:13:07,120
Speaker 6: were going to give him at least a couple of

280
00:13:07,200 --> 00:13:09,200
Speaker 6: years of runway, and that it was going to be

281
00:13:09,240 --> 00:13:12,600
Speaker 6: his show. And so you know, I think, you know,

282
00:13:12,679 --> 00:13:16,040
Speaker 6: looking at that from an Apples to Apple's perspective, you know,

283
00:13:16,120 --> 00:13:18,040
Speaker 6: Kirk looked at it and said, Okay, on one end,

284
00:13:18,440 --> 00:13:19,960
Speaker 6: I'm going to get at least two years and if

285
00:13:20,000 --> 00:13:21,800
Speaker 6: I play well more than that. On the other end,

286
00:13:22,520 --> 00:13:24,160
Speaker 6: this team is probably going to take a quarterback in

287
00:13:24,200 --> 00:13:26,680
Speaker 6: the first round and I may be out after a

288
00:13:26,760 --> 00:13:28,520
Speaker 6: year and looking for a new home again in twenty

289
00:13:28,559 --> 00:13:31,480
Speaker 6: twenty five. So of course he took the first option,

290
00:13:32,200 --> 00:13:34,600
Speaker 6: not knowing the two options that the two teams will

291
00:13:34,600 --> 00:13:37,680
Speaker 6: wind up in very similar situations at the end. And

292
00:13:38,160 --> 00:13:40,400
Speaker 6: I think the other thing you noticed just just listening

293
00:13:40,480 --> 00:13:43,320
Speaker 6: to him talk, and this is pretty obvious, is like

294
00:13:43,400 --> 00:13:45,520
Speaker 6: he felt like the Vikings were very honest with him,

295
00:13:46,160 --> 00:13:49,080
Speaker 6: and because of that, the Vikings lost the quarterback right.

296
00:13:49,160 --> 00:13:52,040
Speaker 6: Whereas if you go back and you look at it,

297
00:13:52,080 --> 00:13:54,720
Speaker 6: like he felt like the Falcons were wound up being

298
00:13:54,960 --> 00:13:58,319
Speaker 6: a little bit dishonest, might be strong, but maybe misled

299
00:13:58,400 --> 00:13:59,520
Speaker 6: him a little bit in the way they were going

300
00:13:59,559 --> 00:14:00,000
Speaker 6: to handle them.

301
00:14:00,160 --> 00:14:03,240
Speaker 3: Yeah, let's go on to another story that just popped up.

302
00:14:03,280 --> 00:14:06,400
Speaker 3: And you know, Jared Goff, a super nice guy, doesn't

303
00:14:06,440 --> 00:14:07,760
Speaker 3: really rattle.

304
00:14:07,520 --> 00:14:10,280
Speaker 2: Cages or say stuff. He kind of called the RAMS.

305
00:14:10,280 --> 00:14:12,120
Speaker 3: I don't know if it was McVeigh or the RAMS

306
00:14:12,200 --> 00:14:17,000
Speaker 3: organization immature for the way they handled his departure a.

307
00:14:16,920 --> 00:14:17,720
Speaker 2: Couple of years ago.

308
00:14:18,160 --> 00:14:21,320
Speaker 3: I'm looking back, you know, with Jared Goff as a starter,

309
00:14:21,400 --> 00:14:23,120
Speaker 3: he and McVeigh were doing awesome.

310
00:14:23,160 --> 00:14:26,040
Speaker 2: They made the playoffs in three or four years like

311
00:14:26,200 --> 00:14:27,040
Speaker 2: it was a good run.

312
00:14:28,000 --> 00:14:30,080
Speaker 3: Yeah, and they got to a Super Bowl and then

313
00:14:30,120 --> 00:14:32,640
Speaker 3: to kind of not give him more of, like more

314
00:14:32,640 --> 00:14:34,520
Speaker 3: than a one minute heads up that we're trading you.

315
00:14:35,280 --> 00:14:38,280
Speaker 3: I don't know, did he deserve that? What's your read

316
00:14:38,320 --> 00:14:39,560
Speaker 3: on how that kind of shook out?

317
00:14:40,360 --> 00:14:43,880
Speaker 6: Yeah, I mean I think, you know, if you listen

318
00:14:43,920 --> 00:14:45,760
Speaker 6: to a lot of the stuff that Sean himself has

319
00:14:45,760 --> 00:14:47,360
Speaker 6: said in the time since, he has a lot of

320
00:14:47,360 --> 00:14:49,680
Speaker 6: regret from that. You know, he did go back and

321
00:14:50,280 --> 00:14:53,080
Speaker 6: clear some of that stuff up and they have been

322
00:14:53,080 --> 00:14:55,040
Speaker 6: able to re establish a relationship. I don't think it

323
00:14:55,080 --> 00:14:56,960
Speaker 6: is what it was before and probably never will be,

324
00:14:57,160 --> 00:14:59,840
Speaker 6: but I mean it was to the point where, you know,

325
00:15:00,200 --> 00:15:02,920
Speaker 6: a year after the trade, one of the first texts

326
00:15:02,920 --> 00:15:06,400
Speaker 6: that Sean got was from Jared congratulating him on winning

327
00:15:06,440 --> 00:15:09,400
Speaker 6: the Super Bowl. So yeah, I think there was a

328
00:15:09,400 --> 00:15:11,440
Speaker 6: lot of regret in the RAMS organization on the way

329
00:15:11,480 --> 00:15:15,640
Speaker 6: things were handled down the stretch in twenty twenty and

330
00:15:15,720 --> 00:15:18,640
Speaker 6: into early twenty twenty one with Jared Goff, and they

331
00:15:18,640 --> 00:15:21,640
Speaker 6: wish they would have handled it better than they did.

332
00:15:22,520 --> 00:15:25,880
Speaker 6: I also don't think that they anticipated that the opportunity

333
00:15:25,920 --> 00:15:28,360
Speaker 6: to replace Jared Goff was going to come along as

334
00:15:28,400 --> 00:15:31,480
Speaker 6: quickly as it did. If you remember that happened, that

335
00:15:31,560 --> 00:15:34,200
Speaker 6: trade was agreed to now couldn't be consummated till March,

336
00:15:34,240 --> 00:15:37,400
Speaker 6: but that trade was agreed to at the end of January,

337
00:15:37,720 --> 00:15:40,280
Speaker 6: and so it was I mean, I believe less than

338
00:15:40,280 --> 00:15:43,800
Speaker 6: two weeks after the Rams season ended, So everything kind

339
00:15:43,800 --> 00:15:45,680
Speaker 6: of moved fast. And I do think the Rams have

340
00:15:45,760 --> 00:15:48,560
Speaker 6: some regret over the way that they handled that and

341
00:15:49,880 --> 00:15:54,239
Speaker 6: as much as they I think have worked out their differences,

342
00:15:54,440 --> 00:15:56,320
Speaker 6: I think you can see, you know, in the way

343
00:15:56,320 --> 00:16:01,480
Speaker 6: that Jared's talking in the documentary that he still feels

344
00:16:01,480 --> 00:16:02,840
Speaker 6: a little stung by what went on.

345
00:16:03,000 --> 00:16:05,920
Speaker 3: Yeah, clearly, anytime you get bounced that way, it's brutal. Now,

346
00:16:06,000 --> 00:16:08,320
Speaker 3: I mean, he's done well in Detroit. I don't know

347
00:16:08,360 --> 00:16:10,000
Speaker 3: if they back So are you on board with the

348
00:16:10,080 --> 00:16:12,120
Speaker 3: Lions probably backsliding a little bit this year?

349
00:16:13,240 --> 00:16:15,360
Speaker 6: Yeah, there's a lot that there, there's a lot that

350
00:16:15,400 --> 00:16:16,200
Speaker 6: they have to replace.

351
00:16:16,960 --> 00:16:17,120
Speaker 7: Yeah.

352
00:16:17,120 --> 00:16:19,480
Speaker 6: I think Frank Ragnow is a really big boss. Like

353
00:16:19,600 --> 00:16:23,480
Speaker 6: I I know the amount they put on him to

354
00:16:23,480 --> 00:16:26,920
Speaker 6: to to to to to help run the show on

355
00:16:27,040 --> 00:16:29,720
Speaker 6: offense and really help their young linemen and from a

356
00:16:29,800 --> 00:16:34,880
Speaker 6: leadership perspective, from a play perspective, he's really good. Now

357
00:16:35,240 --> 00:16:37,600
Speaker 6: they have some answers at the position Graham Glasgow, they

358
00:16:37,680 --> 00:16:40,720
Speaker 6: draft Tate Ratlege out of Georgia. But to think that

359
00:16:40,760 --> 00:16:42,360
Speaker 6: they won't take a little bit of a step back

360
00:16:42,360 --> 00:16:44,720
Speaker 6: and what's been a massive stretch for strength with them

361
00:16:44,840 --> 00:16:49,160
Speaker 6: along that offensive line, yeah, I think you'd be you'd be,

362
00:16:49,360 --> 00:16:51,320
Speaker 6: You'd be fooling yourself at least a little bit not

363
00:16:51,400 --> 00:16:53,520
Speaker 6: to think that they're that they that there's going to

364
00:16:53,560 --> 00:16:56,720
Speaker 6: be at least some effects to to losing Rag now upfront.

365
00:16:56,760 --> 00:16:59,760
Speaker 6: Then the other obvious part is the coordinators, right, So

366
00:17:00,880 --> 00:17:03,480
Speaker 6: can Kelvin Shepard be what Aaron Glenn was? Can John

367
00:17:03,480 --> 00:17:07,159
Speaker 6: Morton be what Ben Johnson was? Those are high bars

368
00:17:07,160 --> 00:17:10,200
Speaker 6: to clear for those coaches. On the flip side, though,

369
00:17:10,720 --> 00:17:13,400
Speaker 6: I think everybody needs to remember what the lines were

370
00:17:13,440 --> 00:17:15,640
Speaker 6: at the end of the year. That was an incredibly

371
00:17:15,680 --> 00:17:18,240
Speaker 6: banged up team. They were playing at an exceptionally high

372
00:17:18,320 --> 00:17:20,520
Speaker 6: level when they were healthy, and they were able to

373
00:17:20,560 --> 00:17:24,760
Speaker 6: withstand losses of guys like Aiden Hutchinson and Aleen McNeil.

374
00:17:24,840 --> 00:17:27,960
Speaker 6: On the defensive side of the ball. They were down

375
00:17:28,000 --> 00:17:31,280
Speaker 6: to I think only three or four like full time starters,

376
00:17:31,280 --> 00:17:33,080
Speaker 6: like the guys they had planned to be their starters

377
00:17:33,119 --> 00:17:36,840
Speaker 6: out there on that side, you know. So I think

378
00:17:36,920 --> 00:17:38,720
Speaker 6: if you look at that and you figure they're not

379
00:17:38,760 --> 00:17:40,560
Speaker 6: going to have as bad injury luck, and they've still

380
00:17:40,600 --> 00:17:43,280
Speaker 6: got so many young players that are ascending, you know,

381
00:17:43,280 --> 00:17:46,640
Speaker 6: you guys like Jamison Williams and Jamiri Gibbs and Brian Branch,

382
00:17:47,560 --> 00:17:50,000
Speaker 6: you know Aiden Hutchinson himself coming back off the injury.

383
00:17:50,000 --> 00:17:53,400
Speaker 6: That those guys are still on the way up. They

384
00:17:53,440 --> 00:17:55,480
Speaker 6: still should be really good, even if they do take

385
00:17:55,480 --> 00:17:56,160
Speaker 6: a step back.

386
00:17:56,840 --> 00:17:58,880
Speaker 3: I got to ask you about the Kansas City chiefs.

387
00:17:58,920 --> 00:18:01,119
Speaker 3: I think when you do tea he hits, you automatically

388
00:18:01,119 --> 00:18:02,359
Speaker 3: have to talk chiefs at some point.

389
00:18:02,680 --> 00:18:04,240
Speaker 2: But Brent Veach made a.

390
00:18:05,760 --> 00:18:09,040
Speaker 3: Curious comment about Travis Kelcey, and I think he was

391
00:18:09,119 --> 00:18:14,160
Speaker 3: just being honest, but it kind of sounded like maybe

392
00:18:14,760 --> 00:18:17,520
Speaker 3: he can see the end for Travis Kelcey and like

393
00:18:17,560 --> 00:18:18,680
Speaker 3: you could see him wear down.

394
00:18:18,880 --> 00:18:20,280
Speaker 2: But he was just being honest. I don't think it

395
00:18:20,320 --> 00:18:20,840
Speaker 2: was a dig.

396
00:18:21,280 --> 00:18:23,560
Speaker 3: But I'm curious just to your thoughts on on Vech's

397
00:18:23,560 --> 00:18:24,399
Speaker 3: comments on Kelsey.

398
00:18:25,600 --> 00:18:27,359
Speaker 6: Well, I mean he's turning thirty six, Yeah, you know

399
00:18:27,400 --> 00:18:29,240
Speaker 6: what I mean. Like, so, I think I think if

400
00:18:29,240 --> 00:18:31,840
Speaker 6: you're if you're being honest about it, like he's already

401
00:18:32,760 --> 00:18:35,480
Speaker 6: that position, by the way, Like it's amazing he's made

402
00:18:35,560 --> 00:18:39,080
Speaker 6: it as long as he has more tight ends where

403
00:18:39,119 --> 00:18:42,600
Speaker 6: the tag of injury prone than I think at any

404
00:18:42,600 --> 00:18:45,840
Speaker 6: other position. And the reason why is because of how

405
00:18:45,880 --> 00:18:49,120
Speaker 6: difficult that position is on your body. So the fact

406
00:18:49,119 --> 00:18:52,400
Speaker 6: that he's made it this far is really really remarkable.

407
00:18:53,480 --> 00:18:55,639
Speaker 6: But yeah, they do have to they do have to

408
00:18:55,720 --> 00:18:59,240
Speaker 6: plan for what's next here. They did give Noah Gray

409
00:18:59,400 --> 00:19:02,000
Speaker 6: a contract extension, who's been his backup, and they drafted

410
00:19:02,000 --> 00:19:04,240
Speaker 6: out a duke a couple of years ago, and the

411
00:19:04,280 --> 00:19:06,280
Speaker 6: offense is going to look a little bit different. I mean,

412
00:19:06,320 --> 00:19:10,080
Speaker 6: I I the weird thing is j mac like I

413
00:19:10,160 --> 00:19:14,560
Speaker 6: look at it like I think Travis Kelcey could take

414
00:19:14,560 --> 00:19:16,920
Speaker 6: a step back and they still could be significantly better

415
00:19:16,960 --> 00:19:20,240
Speaker 6: on offense than they were a year ago. And it's

416
00:19:20,320 --> 00:19:22,920
Speaker 6: for a few reasons. I think their tackle situation will

417
00:19:22,920 --> 00:19:26,200
Speaker 6: be better. I don't know what combination of Jalen Moore,

418
00:19:26,280 --> 00:19:28,760
Speaker 6: Juwan Taylor, and Josh Simmons will be out there tackle,

419
00:19:28,840 --> 00:19:30,399
Speaker 6: but it should be better than what they were doing

420
00:19:30,600 --> 00:19:32,520
Speaker 6: what they had at the end of the year last year.

421
00:19:33,280 --> 00:19:35,480
Speaker 6: You know, and then Matt Naggi had this vision for

422
00:19:35,520 --> 00:19:37,919
Speaker 6: the offense last summer that never came to life, and

423
00:19:38,000 --> 00:19:41,159
Speaker 6: it was Hollywood Brown and Xavier Worthy on the outside,

424
00:19:41,200 --> 00:19:45,080
Speaker 6: with Travis Kelcey and Rashie Rice running through the space

425
00:19:45,160 --> 00:19:48,640
Speaker 6: vacated underneath. Hollywood Brown got hurt start of the year.

426
00:19:48,680 --> 00:19:51,720
Speaker 6: He wasn't available till December. Rashie Rice went down for

427
00:19:51,760 --> 00:19:54,360
Speaker 6: the year about a month in so you never got

428
00:19:54,359 --> 00:19:57,320
Speaker 6: to see all that all together. Well, now you are

429
00:19:57,359 --> 00:19:58,800
Speaker 6: going to get the chance to see it all together.

430
00:19:59,119 --> 00:20:01,040
Speaker 6: And they think Rashie Rice has a chance to be

431
00:20:01,080 --> 00:20:03,520
Speaker 6: one of the ten best receivers in football. What and

432
00:20:03,640 --> 00:20:05,760
Speaker 6: Xavier Worthy's coming back in the second year and the

433
00:20:05,840 --> 00:20:09,240
Speaker 6: Checko's healthy. So if you're better at tackle and you

434
00:20:09,280 --> 00:20:11,719
Speaker 6: had this vision that come that that that that you

435
00:20:11,760 --> 00:20:14,080
Speaker 6: had drawn out last year, that comes to life this year,

436
00:20:14,640 --> 00:20:16,320
Speaker 6: I think they actually have a chance to be better

437
00:20:16,359 --> 00:20:19,040
Speaker 6: on offense than they were a year ago, with the

438
00:20:19,200 --> 00:20:21,600
Speaker 6: X factor, of course being Kelsey's age. The same way,

439
00:20:21,640 --> 00:20:23,359
Speaker 6: I think the defense is going to be really good

440
00:20:23,720 --> 00:20:25,960
Speaker 6: with the X factor being Chris Jones' age on that

441
00:20:26,000 --> 00:20:26,520
Speaker 6: side of the ball.

442
00:20:26,560 --> 00:20:29,280
Speaker 3: Now, listen, I'm glad you saved that hot take for

443
00:20:29,359 --> 00:20:31,800
Speaker 3: that moment because I'm shocked right now. I haven't heard

444
00:20:31,880 --> 00:20:35,119
Speaker 3: anybody say that. Everybody seems to think regression is coming,

445
00:20:35,560 --> 00:20:35,840
Speaker 3: you know.

446
00:20:35,760 --> 00:20:39,080
Speaker 6: Because you're all prisoners to the last thing you saw.

447
00:20:40,160 --> 00:20:44,159
Speaker 2: Not me, but other people probably. So that's interesting.

448
00:20:44,160 --> 00:20:47,160
Speaker 3: The world where the Chiefs offense is better with everybody

449
00:20:47,200 --> 00:20:51,720
Speaker 3: healthy and the offensive line maybe, Well, you're an Ohio

450
00:20:51,720 --> 00:20:53,600
Speaker 3: State guy, right, you know, you know the guy that

451
00:20:53,600 --> 00:20:54,560
Speaker 3: they drafted.

452
00:20:54,320 --> 00:20:56,600
Speaker 6: Right, yeah, I mean like Simmons is, like, that's a

453
00:20:56,680 --> 00:21:01,440
Speaker 6: devastating injury for like a big man, like the that's

454
00:21:01,480 --> 00:21:03,440
Speaker 6: worse than the torn acl what he wants through the

455
00:21:03,480 --> 00:21:07,000
Speaker 6: torn Pteller tendon. And I don't think it was perfect

456
00:21:07,040 --> 00:21:09,240
Speaker 6: at first, but since the Chiefs have had him, he's

457
00:21:09,320 --> 00:21:12,919
Speaker 6: checked all the boxes and physically he's a freak. So

458
00:21:13,920 --> 00:21:15,840
Speaker 6: the beauty of it for the Chiefs is they don't

459
00:21:16,000 --> 00:21:18,879
Speaker 6: need him to start day one. If he wins the job, great,

460
00:21:19,480 --> 00:21:22,120
Speaker 6: But they brought in Jalen Moore to play that position

461
00:21:22,160 --> 00:21:24,600
Speaker 6: from the Niners, who had been a film for Trent Williams.

462
00:21:24,960 --> 00:21:27,639
Speaker 6: They have Juwan Taylor there who has been up and

463
00:21:27,680 --> 00:21:31,560
Speaker 6: down but still has ability, so like they can kind

464
00:21:31,600 --> 00:21:33,960
Speaker 6: of bring Josh Simmons along at his own pace, and

465
00:21:34,960 --> 00:21:37,240
Speaker 6: you know, he's got the ability to be a top

466
00:21:37,280 --> 00:21:41,120
Speaker 6: shelf tackle somebody somebody there compared to the Trent Williams.

467
00:21:41,119 --> 00:21:42,879
Speaker 6: Maybe that's a little bit over the top, but he

468
00:21:42,920 --> 00:21:44,000
Speaker 6: does have a lot of ability.

469
00:21:44,040 --> 00:21:45,920
Speaker 2: All right, we'll wrap up with this. Is there any

470
00:21:46,040 --> 00:21:47,600
Speaker 2: update on TJ. Watt.

471
00:21:47,840 --> 00:21:50,800
Speaker 3: There's reports out there that like the fan base is

472
00:21:50,840 --> 00:21:53,720
Speaker 3: starting to get divided over what to do with their

473
00:21:53,720 --> 00:21:54,480
Speaker 3: beloved TJ.

474
00:21:54,600 --> 00:21:54,919
Speaker 5: Watt.

475
00:21:55,160 --> 00:21:59,040
Speaker 3: There's a report about someone family member of someone in

476
00:21:59,080 --> 00:22:01,639
Speaker 3: the organization venting we can't pay him.

477
00:22:02,119 --> 00:22:03,280
Speaker 2: What are you hearing out there?

478
00:22:03,760 --> 00:22:06,520
Speaker 6: I just think I just think they're I think there's

479
00:22:06,520 --> 00:22:08,720
Speaker 6: too much mutual interest in getting something done for them

480
00:22:08,800 --> 00:22:12,960
Speaker 6: not to be for them not to get something done.

481
00:22:13,560 --> 00:22:17,000
Speaker 6: The reason the Steelers went and got Aaron Rodgers is

482
00:22:17,040 --> 00:22:20,199
Speaker 6: because with the core that they've built, the core that

483
00:22:20,200 --> 00:22:23,320
Speaker 6: they've been highly competitive with but not at the top

484
00:22:23,440 --> 00:22:27,000
Speaker 6: level with over the last four or five years, there

485
00:22:27,040 --> 00:22:29,280
Speaker 6: may be a one or two year window left and

486
00:22:29,320 --> 00:22:32,360
Speaker 6: that's TJ. Watt, Minka Fitzpatrick when he was still there

487
00:22:32,359 --> 00:22:34,680
Speaker 6: before he got traded for Jalen Ramsey, which made them

488
00:22:34,680 --> 00:22:38,320
Speaker 6: two years older. Cam Hayward's at the end, you know,

489
00:22:38,359 --> 00:22:41,640
Speaker 6: with this group of players, it's about twenty twenty five.

490
00:22:41,640 --> 00:22:43,760
Speaker 6: And I think that's part of what appealed about the

491
00:22:43,800 --> 00:22:46,320
Speaker 6: situation to Aaron Rodgers is that he looks at it

492
00:22:46,359 --> 00:22:49,440
Speaker 6: and says, everybody else is on my timetable here. These

493
00:22:49,440 --> 00:22:52,439
Speaker 6: are my peers. We're gonna go chase a championship together.

494
00:22:53,200 --> 00:22:56,680
Speaker 6: So if that's where the Steelers are, and TJ. Watt

495
00:22:56,720 --> 00:22:59,440
Speaker 6: is at a point in his career where he has

496
00:22:59,480 --> 00:23:04,119
Speaker 6: to go chase like he knows that the clock's ticking

497
00:23:04,160 --> 00:23:07,280
Speaker 6: a little bit, he has leverage over the Steelers and

498
00:23:07,320 --> 00:23:08,959
Speaker 6: that they need him to be part of that vision,

499
00:23:10,000 --> 00:23:12,320
Speaker 6: but it also behooves him to be part of that team,

500
00:23:12,600 --> 00:23:14,760
Speaker 6: you know, And so I just think there's too much

501
00:23:14,840 --> 00:23:17,280
Speaker 6: mutual interest for them not to get something done. I

502
00:23:17,320 --> 00:23:20,240
Speaker 6: do think the contracts for Miles Garrett and Daniel Hunter

503
00:23:20,400 --> 00:23:24,119
Speaker 6: and Max Prosby done this offseason do complicate things a

504
00:23:24,119 --> 00:23:26,720
Speaker 6: little bit, But at the end of the day, you know,

505
00:23:26,760 --> 00:23:29,480
Speaker 6: I the way I see it, at least like the

506
00:23:29,520 --> 00:23:32,800
Speaker 6: two parties involved here have have too much mutual interest

507
00:23:33,000 --> 00:23:35,399
Speaker 6: not to find a way to get something done. I

508
00:23:35,440 --> 00:23:37,040
Speaker 6: don't know if it will be at the beginning of

509
00:23:37,119 --> 00:23:40,520
Speaker 6: camp or right before week one, but I would think

510
00:23:40,520 --> 00:23:42,840
Speaker 6: that they'll find some sort of way to work this out.

511
00:23:42,880 --> 00:23:45,000
Speaker 3: All right, Albert Breer, thanks a lot for taking time

Speaker 3: Welcome back our number two here on the Herd. It's

535
00:25:06,920 --> 00:25:11,639
Speaker 3: a gorgeous Friday morning in Los Angeles. It's me Jason

536
00:25:11,720 --> 00:25:14,679
Speaker 3: McIntyre in for Colin Cowhard. I did speak with the

537
00:25:14,720 --> 00:25:19,679
Speaker 3: Big Guy yesterday. He is enjoying the burning embers of

538
00:25:19,720 --> 00:25:23,960
Speaker 3: his summer vacation in Art's Unknown. I just like saying

539
00:25:24,000 --> 00:25:26,760
Speaker 3: that because they used to announce a wrestling duel from

540
00:25:26,840 --> 00:25:27,800
Speaker 3: Parts Unknown.

541
00:25:27,920 --> 00:25:29,040
Speaker 2: I don't know if you guys remember that.

542
00:25:29,240 --> 00:25:31,480
Speaker 3: Yes, I was a huge wrestling fan as a kid.

543
00:25:32,080 --> 00:25:34,920
Speaker 3: I'm joined by Alex Curry, who track were you a

544
00:25:34,960 --> 00:25:36,000
Speaker 3: wrestling fan or no?

545
00:25:36,000 --> 00:25:39,600
Speaker 4: No, I will say now, I appreciate the art of

546
00:25:39,640 --> 00:25:43,159
Speaker 4: it because it is it's it's art, it's acting. And

547
00:25:43,520 --> 00:25:45,600
Speaker 4: I think when you look at it that way like

548
00:25:45,640 --> 00:25:47,600
Speaker 4: it's not you're like, oh, it's not real. It's like,

549
00:25:47,640 --> 00:25:50,720
Speaker 4: oh no, it's real. These are incredible athletes. But it's theater.

550
00:25:50,880 --> 00:25:52,240
Speaker 2: It's theater. It's theater, so you.

551
00:25:52,200 --> 00:25:53,600
Speaker 4: Have to look at it like theater and I was

552
00:25:53,640 --> 00:25:55,719
Speaker 4: a big theater nerd as a Thespian growing up, So

553
00:25:55,760 --> 00:25:57,719
Speaker 4: like once I think I like equated it to that,

554
00:25:57,800 --> 00:25:59,040
Speaker 4: I was like, oh, I get it.

555
00:25:59,080 --> 00:25:59,760
Speaker 8: This is cool.

556
00:26:00,080 --> 00:26:03,720
Speaker 2: Jake the Sake, Roberts Ultimate Warriors, don't know very Ames.

557
00:26:03,760 --> 00:26:05,560
Speaker 2: I know The Rock. I love Duayne the Rock. Johnson,

558
00:26:05,640 --> 00:26:08,040
Speaker 2: he's like my fave. It seems like a nice guy,

559
00:26:08,320 --> 00:26:08,639
Speaker 2: all right.

560
00:26:08,640 --> 00:26:11,720
Speaker 3: Coming up here in like six minutes, Holy cow, we

561
00:26:11,720 --> 00:26:16,200
Speaker 3: get an all pro NFL quarterback, Marlon Humphrey from the Ravens.

562
00:26:16,520 --> 00:26:19,960
Speaker 3: You know, there's a new ranking out The best secondary

563
00:26:19,960 --> 00:26:23,280
Speaker 3: in the league belongs to the Ravens. Interesting the way

564
00:26:23,280 --> 00:26:25,960
Speaker 3: they're building it. But we'll talk to Marlon Humphrey soon.

565
00:26:26,280 --> 00:26:28,600
Speaker 3: I want to go here. They love to do a

566
00:26:28,600 --> 00:26:32,760
Speaker 3: good list on this show. They travel well online, so

567
00:26:33,240 --> 00:26:35,280
Speaker 3: they came up with j Mac. We need a six

568
00:26:35,359 --> 00:26:38,200
Speaker 3: pack of teams that can win the Super Bowl, and

569
00:26:38,840 --> 00:26:42,960
Speaker 3: there's a couple obvious ones we'll get to. I could

570
00:26:42,960 --> 00:26:47,600
Speaker 3: only find two in the AFC and four in the NFC.

571
00:26:47,680 --> 00:26:50,600
Speaker 3: So here's my six teams as of right now, early

572
00:26:50,720 --> 00:26:54,280
Speaker 3: July twenty twenty five, who can win the twenty twenty

573
00:26:54,280 --> 00:26:58,000
Speaker 3: six Super Bowl. Let's start what that San Francisco forty

574
00:26:58,080 --> 00:27:00,840
Speaker 3: nine ers. They had a terrible year last year, but

575
00:27:00,920 --> 00:27:04,399
Speaker 3: it was due to injury. Now they get Brandon Ayuk

576
00:27:04,520 --> 00:27:07,200
Speaker 3: should be back, although I'm seeing one report he may

577
00:27:07,240 --> 00:27:10,960
Speaker 3: not start Week one. We'll see, but Ayuk should be

578
00:27:11,080 --> 00:27:14,560
Speaker 3: a factor when he returns. Obviously, the young fellow they

579
00:27:14,640 --> 00:27:19,080
Speaker 3: drafted last year, that Christian McCaffrey comes back. Trent William

580
00:27:19,160 --> 00:27:21,919
Speaker 3: still breathing. I think this is going to be a

581
00:27:21,920 --> 00:27:25,080
Speaker 3: great team. The schedule is the great determinant, with the

582
00:27:25,160 --> 00:27:28,760
Speaker 3: Niners easiest by far in the league. They only face

583
00:27:28,840 --> 00:27:31,400
Speaker 3: three playoff teams from last year. They don't face any

584
00:27:31,440 --> 00:27:33,679
Speaker 3: of the top five quarterbacks in the league. Folks, the

585
00:27:33,800 --> 00:27:36,560
Speaker 3: Niners are a Super Bowl contender. I would say a

586
00:27:36,600 --> 00:27:40,280
Speaker 3: minimum of twelve or thirteen wins. Next up my pick

587
00:27:40,320 --> 00:27:42,679
Speaker 3: to win the Super Bowl next year the Buffalo Bills.

588
00:27:42,920 --> 00:27:45,040
Speaker 3: They've been knocking on the door for a few years.

589
00:27:45,560 --> 00:27:48,880
Speaker 3: Josh Allen obviously tremendous. They came up a little short

590
00:27:49,160 --> 00:27:51,399
Speaker 3: in the playoff game in Kansas City. We will not

591
00:27:52,040 --> 00:27:56,080
Speaker 3: relitigate the terrible officiating in that one. Obviously, Buffalo huts

592
00:27:56,080 --> 00:27:59,440
Speaker 3: some self inflicted wounds trying to pull off the tush

593
00:27:59,480 --> 00:28:02,800
Speaker 3: push show, whatever you want to call it, repeatedly and

594
00:28:02,920 --> 00:28:06,600
Speaker 3: it failed. The bill did add Joey Bosa, not a

595
00:28:06,640 --> 00:28:10,399
Speaker 3: bad pickup. Josh Palmer from the Chargers Tredavius White. Not

596
00:28:10,440 --> 00:28:12,560
Speaker 3: sure what he can give you as like a Nicol

597
00:28:12,640 --> 00:28:16,960
Speaker 3: dime quarterback. But they also have a very favorable schedule

598
00:28:19,640 --> 00:28:22,760
Speaker 3: and they've won the last five afcast titled Wow, it

599
00:28:22,840 --> 00:28:24,879
Speaker 3: did not realize that it's been a while for my Jets.

600
00:28:25,600 --> 00:28:28,200
Speaker 3: The the third team. I think they win the Super

601
00:28:28,240 --> 00:28:30,480
Speaker 3: Bowl next year. A bit of a dart throw here

602
00:28:31,280 --> 00:28:35,040
Speaker 3: Washington commanders so instantly I get pushed back. Well, the

603
00:28:35,160 --> 00:28:38,080
Speaker 3: Texans had a good first year with CJ. Stroud, then

604
00:28:38,160 --> 00:28:40,760
Speaker 3: they fell back a little, still made the playoffs. I

605
00:28:40,840 --> 00:28:44,400
Speaker 3: thought Washington adding Laramie Tunseell and Deebo Samuel was just

606
00:28:44,440 --> 00:28:47,760
Speaker 3: a stroke of genius. I think is a really good team.

607
00:28:48,160 --> 00:28:50,720
Speaker 3: I think they'll push the Eagles in the NFC East.

608
00:28:50,720 --> 00:28:55,000
Speaker 3: They're vastly superior to the Cowboys and Giants, and you

609
00:28:55,120 --> 00:28:57,480
Speaker 3: just you look at the continuity, kept their head coach,

610
00:28:57,560 --> 00:29:00,680
Speaker 3: kept both coordinators. Terry mcclaurin told out should be done

611
00:29:00,680 --> 00:29:03,920
Speaker 3: here shortly, folks. I know they got slaughtered by the

612
00:29:03,960 --> 00:29:08,200
Speaker 3: Eagles in the NFC Championship game. They will be much

613
00:29:08,200 --> 00:29:11,200
Speaker 3: better if that win over Detroit in the playoffs. I mean,

614
00:29:11,240 --> 00:29:13,600
Speaker 3: did Jayden Daniels making the leap in year two? I'm

615
00:29:13,600 --> 00:29:16,240
Speaker 3: bullish on Washington. I think they could win the Super Bowl.

616
00:29:16,400 --> 00:29:18,240
Speaker 3: Team number four, Yes, you got to go for the

617
00:29:18,280 --> 00:29:21,840
Speaker 3: Philadelphia Eagles. They are favored to repeat. I do think

618
00:29:21,840 --> 00:29:25,240
Speaker 3: it'll be a challenge. I would not bet them to repeat.

619
00:29:25,960 --> 00:29:29,200
Speaker 3: Offensive line is formidable. Saquon Barkley coming off a heavy

620
00:29:29,280 --> 00:29:31,560
Speaker 3: usage year scares me a little bit. You know, I

621
00:29:31,600 --> 00:29:34,120
Speaker 3: have Jalen Hurts as the fifth best quarterback in the NFL.

622
00:29:34,560 --> 00:29:36,480
Speaker 2: They did lose their offensive coordinator.

623
00:29:36,880 --> 00:29:41,000
Speaker 3: They lost Makai Beckton, Josh Sweat, Brandon Graham, Darius Lay, CJ.

624
00:29:41,240 --> 00:29:44,160
Speaker 2: Gardner, Johnson. That's like six starters gone.

625
00:29:44,480 --> 00:29:47,960
Speaker 3: But the Eagles are gonna certainly be an eleven win team,

626
00:29:48,080 --> 00:29:50,080
Speaker 3: and there's just too much talent not to be in

627
00:29:50,080 --> 00:29:55,560
Speaker 3: the Super Bowl discussion. Next up, Yes, surree the La Rams.

628
00:29:55,600 --> 00:29:59,400
Speaker 3: They are really The arrow is super duper pointing upward

629
00:29:59,440 --> 00:30:03,360
Speaker 3: for them. They had the best off season according to

630
00:30:03,480 --> 00:30:06,720
Speaker 3: one report. You know they grade the moves. One report

631
00:30:06,760 --> 00:30:09,880
Speaker 3: had the Rams having the best off season. Adding Devonte

632
00:30:09,920 --> 00:30:13,240
Speaker 3: Adams certainly helps they lose Cooper Cup. But DeVante Adams

633
00:30:13,240 --> 00:30:17,400
Speaker 3: and Pooka that is pretty impressive. And they're drafts the

634
00:30:17,440 --> 00:30:22,240
Speaker 3: last couple of years. Between Pooka Jared vers Fisk, they've

635
00:30:22,320 --> 00:30:25,000
Speaker 3: just hit home run after home run. Is a really

636
00:30:25,120 --> 00:30:28,959
Speaker 3: really good team. If the offensive line holds up, they

637
00:30:28,960 --> 00:30:34,160
Speaker 3: should make the NFC Championship. Finally, my final team of

638
00:30:34,200 --> 00:30:35,320
Speaker 3: the six pack, they could win.

639
00:30:35,240 --> 00:30:35,880
Speaker 8: The Super Bowl.

640
00:30:36,360 --> 00:30:37,840
Speaker 3: And it's not just because he's coming up as a

641
00:30:37,840 --> 00:30:43,520
Speaker 3: guest here, but Baltimore Ravens number one secondary in the NFL. Obviously,

642
00:30:43,600 --> 00:30:47,280
Speaker 3: the Lamar Jackson a Derrick Henry combination.

643
00:30:47,000 --> 00:30:47,840
Speaker 2: Is just filthy.

644
00:30:48,320 --> 00:30:51,440
Speaker 3: You have to love adding JayR Alexander as like a

645
00:30:51,520 --> 00:30:52,360
Speaker 3: dime cornerback.

646
00:30:52,480 --> 00:30:53,400
Speaker 2: They got him on the cheap.

647
00:30:53,880 --> 00:30:58,440
Speaker 3: Malachi Starks should form the best safety duo in the league.

648
00:30:58,480 --> 00:31:00,920
Speaker 3: I know he's only a rookie, but Hamilton should be

649
00:31:00,960 --> 00:31:04,000
Speaker 3: really formidable on the back end if the wide receivers

650
00:31:04,000 --> 00:31:06,680
Speaker 3: can stay healthy. I mean, listen, if Mark Andrews doesn't

651
00:31:06,720 --> 00:31:09,400
Speaker 3: drop a two point conversion, I don't know what the

652
00:31:09,440 --> 00:31:12,480
Speaker 3: Ravens any Super Bowl do. They beat the Chiefs on

653
00:31:12,480 --> 00:31:15,600
Speaker 3: the road. Is a really really good team. The Ravens

654
00:31:15,640 --> 00:31:19,520
Speaker 3: will certainly be there. Ken Lamar deliver in January. That's

655
00:31:19,520 --> 00:31:22,040
Speaker 3: the big question. So those are my six teams that

656
00:31:22,040 --> 00:31:25,360
Speaker 3: can win the Super Bowl. The Jmax six pack. They

657
00:31:25,400 --> 00:31:26,480
Speaker 3: love this photo and look at the.

658
00:31:26,560 --> 00:31:27,640
Speaker 2: Jets on a dinghy?

659
00:31:28,200 --> 00:31:28,800
Speaker 8: Is that? What that is?

660
00:31:28,840 --> 00:31:29,360
Speaker 6: A dingy?

661
00:31:30,520 --> 00:31:34,080
Speaker 4: An inner tube entertaine is safety tube or whatever. Someone

662
00:31:34,120 --> 00:31:35,480
Speaker 4: goes overboard, you toss it to them.

663
00:31:35,560 --> 00:31:39,000
Speaker 3: Yeah, basically the Jets are overboard. We're a good fifteen

664
00:31:39,080 --> 00:31:39,520
Speaker 3: years now.

665
00:31:40,800 --> 00:31:42,960
Speaker 9: I'll be sure to catch live editions of the Herd

666
00:31:43,000 --> 00:31:45,520
Speaker 9: weekdays and neon Easter not a em Pacific.

667
00:31:45,600 --> 00:31:48,360
Speaker 3: All right, let's get to our guest, Marlon Humphrey joining

668
00:31:48,400 --> 00:31:51,640
Speaker 3: the Herd, the all pro quarterback from the Baltimore Ravens

669
00:31:52,640 --> 00:31:53,800
Speaker 3: at college football legend.

670
00:31:53,840 --> 00:31:54,200
Speaker 8: What's up?

671
00:31:54,200 --> 00:31:54,360
Speaker 9: Man?

672
00:31:54,360 --> 00:31:54,920
Speaker 2: How you doing?

673
00:31:56,800 --> 00:31:57,400
Speaker 8: Not that much?

674
00:31:57,920 --> 00:31:59,920
Speaker 5: Feeling good and joined the last couple of days before

675
00:32:00,040 --> 00:32:01,800
Speaker 5: I got to start the real world.

676
00:32:01,880 --> 00:32:02,840
Speaker 8: So I'm feeling good.

677
00:32:02,920 --> 00:32:03,120
Speaker 6: Yeah.

678
00:32:03,200 --> 00:32:04,760
Speaker 3: Let me ask you what was the summer like? I

679
00:32:04,760 --> 00:32:06,880
Speaker 3: mean you you've been on a hiatus. Did you go

680
00:32:07,040 --> 00:32:09,760
Speaker 3: travel the world? Was you just grinding on football?

681
00:32:09,960 --> 00:32:10,600
Speaker 2: What was going on?

682
00:32:13,040 --> 00:32:16,400
Speaker 5: A lot of golf? A lot of uh, A lot

683
00:32:16,440 --> 00:32:19,480
Speaker 5: of LESLIEP nights? I just had a well not just

684
00:32:19,560 --> 00:32:23,520
Speaker 5: had but got a six month old now, so it's

685
00:32:23,560 --> 00:32:26,960
Speaker 5: been a different offseason definitely not my norm.

686
00:32:27,120 --> 00:32:29,000
Speaker 8: But I just got into golf.

687
00:32:29,040 --> 00:32:34,080
Speaker 5: So golf's been greats football training and then a lot

688
00:32:34,080 --> 00:32:37,040
Speaker 5: of family time and we just got had a family vacation.

689
00:32:37,600 --> 00:32:40,760
Speaker 8: So it's really good. But it's been great. Life's been

690
00:32:40,840 --> 00:32:41,240
Speaker 8: really good.

691
00:32:41,440 --> 00:32:41,880
Speaker 2: Real quick.

692
00:32:41,880 --> 00:32:44,760
Speaker 3: On the golf, I find golf a little slow, you know.

693
00:32:44,840 --> 00:32:47,320
Speaker 3: I liked up more up tempost stuff. How do you

694
00:32:47,400 --> 00:32:50,800
Speaker 3: handle that transition? Football fast and powerful and golf is

695
00:32:50,880 --> 00:32:52,360
Speaker 3: just like taking it easy.

696
00:32:54,280 --> 00:32:54,520
Speaker 8: Yeah.

697
00:32:54,600 --> 00:32:57,280
Speaker 5: I became a member of the country club that doesn't

698
00:32:57,320 --> 00:33:00,800
Speaker 5: have a crazy ton amount of members, so people are

699
00:33:00,800 --> 00:33:04,000
Speaker 5: going too slow. I just leave that hole, go to

700
00:33:04,040 --> 00:33:07,040
Speaker 5: skip around a lot of different holes. So I've made

701
00:33:07,040 --> 00:33:09,160
Speaker 5: it kind of as I don't know if I'm allowed

702
00:33:09,200 --> 00:33:11,120
Speaker 5: to do that, so honestly, I might be telling on myself,

703
00:33:11,160 --> 00:33:14,920
Speaker 5: but I've made it a little bit faster. But that

704
00:33:15,040 --> 00:33:16,800
Speaker 5: is sometimes the bad thing of golf.

705
00:33:16,840 --> 00:33:20,600
Speaker 8: It takes. It can take some time to some slower players, and.

706
00:33:20,560 --> 00:33:22,120
Speaker 5: I feel like, if you're not you're gonna be a

707
00:33:22,160 --> 00:33:23,640
Speaker 5: slower player. You at least got to be good. And

708
00:33:23,680 --> 00:33:26,959
Speaker 5: most people that are slow are not good, So that

709
00:33:27,040 --> 00:33:28,320
Speaker 5: needs to be a new rule for sure.

710
00:33:28,400 --> 00:33:29,920
Speaker 3: I hope your wife likes it when you say, hey,

711
00:33:29,920 --> 00:33:30,560
Speaker 3: i'll be back.

712
00:33:30,440 --> 00:33:33,880
Speaker 2: In five hours. I'm going to play golf. My wife doesn't. Anyways.

713
00:33:34,200 --> 00:33:35,800
Speaker 2: Let's get to the NFL aspect.

714
00:33:35,920 --> 00:33:39,200
Speaker 3: So Pro Football Focus recently ranked the secondaries of the league,

715
00:33:39,200 --> 00:33:40,920
Speaker 3: and you guys are number one.

716
00:33:41,120 --> 00:33:44,040
Speaker 2: A is at a surprise, be obvious.

717
00:33:43,840 --> 00:33:46,320
Speaker 3: And see, you know a lot of defenses these days,

718
00:33:46,320 --> 00:33:48,920
Speaker 3: Marlon are building. Hey, you just need edge rushers, let's

719
00:33:48,920 --> 00:33:52,480
Speaker 3: start there. Cornerback is secondary safety and linebacker forget it.

720
00:33:52,480 --> 00:33:54,160
Speaker 3: But you guys are kind of built different from the

721
00:33:54,200 --> 00:33:54,760
Speaker 3: back end.

722
00:33:56,880 --> 00:34:01,960
Speaker 8: Yeah. I think for me, honestly, we were thirty second

723
00:34:02,040 --> 00:34:02,480
Speaker 8: last year.

724
00:34:02,560 --> 00:34:04,760
Speaker 5: I believe last in the league, so for us to

725
00:34:04,800 --> 00:34:07,640
Speaker 5: be ranked number one does not really mean anything to me.

726
00:34:08,080 --> 00:34:10,600
Speaker 5: I just would love to not be last. I would

727
00:34:10,640 --> 00:34:12,920
Speaker 5: love to be number one. That would be amazing, but

728
00:34:13,560 --> 00:34:15,560
Speaker 5: I'm really focused on what we just did last year.

729
00:34:16,080 --> 00:34:19,440
Speaker 5: We got essentially most of the same guys returning, so

730
00:34:20,239 --> 00:34:22,520
Speaker 5: I would love to finish number one.

731
00:34:22,760 --> 00:34:23,480
Speaker 8: That'd be great.

732
00:34:23,560 --> 00:34:26,640
Speaker 5: But I do know right now, the only thing on

733
00:34:26,719 --> 00:34:29,359
Speaker 5: my mind is we were the thirty second ranked and

734
00:34:29,520 --> 00:34:31,840
Speaker 5: that was that. That's not cool, and that's just not

735
00:34:32,000 --> 00:34:35,440
Speaker 5: very good. So I'm trying to fix that before we

736
00:34:35,440 --> 00:34:36,680
Speaker 5: even think about being number.

737
00:34:36,480 --> 00:34:43,640
Speaker 3: One toughest quarterback you faced last season, all the.

738
00:34:43,800 --> 00:34:50,520
Speaker 5: Toughest quarterback I faced last season would probably.

739
00:34:51,239 --> 00:34:52,399
Speaker 2: I mean, he faced a lot of good ones.

740
00:34:52,400 --> 00:34:52,680
Speaker 8: That's a.

741
00:34:54,480 --> 00:34:57,600
Speaker 5: Oh Joe Burrow, Joe Burrow, I don't even know, Yeah,

742
00:34:57,719 --> 00:35:02,160
Speaker 5: Joe Burrow a surprising second, even though we end up

743
00:35:02,200 --> 00:35:03,960
Speaker 5: winning that game, but I felt we caught them on

744
00:35:04,000 --> 00:35:08,480
Speaker 5: the earlier end. Jayden Daniels what, we caught them pretty

745
00:35:08,480 --> 00:35:11,840
Speaker 5: early on. But I just remember, I'm like, man for

746
00:35:11,920 --> 00:35:13,960
Speaker 5: his got to be a rookie. He was just so poised,

747
00:35:14,000 --> 00:35:17,800
Speaker 5: so smooth, seemed like he never was really phazed. Honestly,

748
00:35:17,920 --> 00:35:22,800
Speaker 5: so I think from a young, young talent perspective, he's

749
00:35:23,000 --> 00:35:24,000
Speaker 5: I mean, he already.

750
00:35:23,680 --> 00:35:26,040
Speaker 8: Is a is a star, but he was He's pretty good.

751
00:35:26,160 --> 00:35:26,560
Speaker 2: Interesting.

752
00:35:26,600 --> 00:35:30,000
Speaker 3: So no mention of Josh Allen there. I don't know

753
00:35:30,040 --> 00:35:31,720
Speaker 3: Buffalo fans are going to take that as a slight

754
00:35:32,000 --> 00:35:34,840
Speaker 3: or did you you know it was Josh Allen easier.

755
00:35:34,600 --> 00:35:35,040
Speaker 8: To prep for.

756
00:35:36,880 --> 00:35:36,920
Speaker 3: No.

757
00:35:37,080 --> 00:35:40,240
Speaker 5: I think they their game well going up their playoff

758
00:35:40,280 --> 00:35:40,719
Speaker 5: game plan.

759
00:35:40,800 --> 00:35:43,120
Speaker 8: It just was a pretty it was a playoff game plan.

760
00:35:43,200 --> 00:35:45,720
Speaker 5: I felt, and they didn't really have him do anything

761
00:35:45,760 --> 00:35:47,840
Speaker 5: crazy that they didn't need to do. They were I

762
00:35:47,840 --> 00:35:49,839
Speaker 5: thought their game plan was really good against us, and

763
00:35:49,880 --> 00:35:53,720
Speaker 5: they just kind of kept us on our heels and

764
00:35:53,760 --> 00:35:57,440
Speaker 5: we just couldn't really we couldrently make the plays we

765
00:35:57,440 --> 00:36:00,399
Speaker 5: need to make. I think you see more. I feel

766
00:36:00,400 --> 00:36:02,360
Speaker 5: like you see a little bit more from a quarterback

767
00:36:02,880 --> 00:36:04,759
Speaker 5: in a bad way of when they score a lot

768
00:36:04,760 --> 00:36:07,680
Speaker 5: of points on you and either you're ahead and they're

769
00:36:07,719 --> 00:36:09,880
Speaker 5: trying to come back, and the quarterbacks really got to

770
00:36:09,920 --> 00:36:13,480
Speaker 5: just full blown carry the team. But Josh Allen Bafar

771
00:36:13,600 --> 00:36:16,719
Speaker 5: managed the game. Yeah, that playoff game in just a

772
00:36:16,719 --> 00:36:19,360
Speaker 5: great way. And I obviously they beat us, and you know,

773
00:36:19,440 --> 00:36:21,160
Speaker 5: we played Jalen Hurts, but that was another to me,

774
00:36:21,200 --> 00:36:24,080
Speaker 5: a simple, simpler game plan. And so there was a

775
00:36:24,080 --> 00:36:26,520
Speaker 5: lot of good quarterbacks, but the ones that seemed like,

776
00:36:26,560 --> 00:36:30,840
Speaker 5: you know, this guy's pretty good obviously Joe Burrow and

777
00:36:30,880 --> 00:36:31,400
Speaker 5: they dad it.

778
00:36:31,800 --> 00:36:34,399
Speaker 2: Yeah, let me quickly. You mentioned playoffs, so I'll ask

779
00:36:34,440 --> 00:36:36,400
Speaker 2: about it. Listen. You guys have had some tough endings

780
00:36:36,400 --> 00:36:37,000
Speaker 2: to the season.

781
00:36:37,520 --> 00:36:40,880
Speaker 3: Obviously, you know the loss in Buffalo was just brutal.

782
00:36:41,520 --> 00:36:43,400
Speaker 2: I'm just curious, what's the mood.

783
00:36:43,280 --> 00:36:45,400
Speaker 3: Like after that because every season you guys go and

784
00:36:45,400 --> 00:36:47,799
Speaker 3: thinking we got a shot at the Super Bowl and

785
00:36:47,840 --> 00:36:51,080
Speaker 3: then to come up short again. I don't know what

786
00:36:51,120 --> 00:36:53,680
Speaker 3: was a vibe like do you remember that day pretty closely?

787
00:36:58,560 --> 00:37:03,440
Speaker 5: It's not the best I think it was a lot

788
00:37:03,480 --> 00:37:06,880
Speaker 5: of uncertainty. I felt for myself, for some of the

789
00:37:06,880 --> 00:37:10,440
Speaker 5: other guys to know if you they'd be around the

790
00:37:10,480 --> 00:37:14,040
Speaker 5: next year, including myself, and so there's a lot of uncertainty.

791
00:37:14,280 --> 00:37:17,560
Speaker 8: Obviously, you know, teams change every single year.

792
00:37:18,080 --> 00:37:21,000
Speaker 5: Felt that you had a really good roster at the time,

793
00:37:21,719 --> 00:37:23,480
Speaker 5: so yeah, it was just a lot of uncertainty. It

794
00:37:23,520 --> 00:37:25,719
Speaker 5: was a lot of you know, kind of what happened,

795
00:37:26,000 --> 00:37:27,279
Speaker 5: you know, what did we do wrong here?

796
00:37:27,800 --> 00:37:29,080
Speaker 8: But it was definitely.

797
00:37:30,239 --> 00:37:32,960
Speaker 5: You know, obviously every year if you don't win the

798
00:37:33,000 --> 00:37:36,359
Speaker 5: Super Bowl, to you didn't get the objective. But over

799
00:37:36,360 --> 00:37:38,320
Speaker 5: my past eight years, it was definitely a definitely a

800
00:37:38,360 --> 00:37:41,760
Speaker 5: different feeling of just it was just different.

801
00:37:41,880 --> 00:37:42,000
Speaker 8: You know.

802
00:37:42,080 --> 00:37:43,560
Speaker 5: I don't know if it was because we felt we

803
00:37:43,560 --> 00:37:45,640
Speaker 5: had a good team or what, but if I had

804
00:37:45,640 --> 00:37:46,040
Speaker 5: to put.

805
00:37:45,920 --> 00:37:47,839
Speaker 8: Into words, it would be just a lot of uncertainty.

806
00:37:48,000 --> 00:37:48,960
Speaker 2: Yeah, I don't know.

807
00:37:48,960 --> 00:37:51,080
Speaker 3: If Lamar is a golfing partner but I'm sure you

808
00:37:51,120 --> 00:37:53,840
Speaker 3: get this a lot. Hey man, when is Lamar gonna

809
00:37:54,160 --> 00:37:56,799
Speaker 3: carry you guys one day in January? And I know

810
00:37:56,840 --> 00:37:58,920
Speaker 3: it win as a team, loses a team, but he

811
00:37:59,000 --> 00:38:02,600
Speaker 3: has had some playoff game where he hasn't been MVP calibers.

812
00:38:03,120 --> 00:38:04,600
Speaker 3: What do you say to people when they when they

813
00:38:04,600 --> 00:38:06,480
Speaker 3: ask you about or maybe nobody asked you about this.

814
00:38:06,520 --> 00:38:06,840
Speaker 2: I don't know.

815
00:38:10,360 --> 00:38:14,120
Speaker 5: Espestally, I don't get accet too often.

816
00:38:14,280 --> 00:38:16,160
Speaker 8: I think, I, you know, I have the player.

817
00:38:16,200 --> 00:38:19,160
Speaker 5: I don't really see it as a just quarterback only

818
00:38:19,440 --> 00:38:22,160
Speaker 5: type stat. I know that's kind of how it is.

819
00:38:22,200 --> 00:38:24,640
Speaker 5: It's all about, you know, the quarterback got But I

820
00:38:24,800 --> 00:38:26,560
Speaker 5: just want to focus on, you know, how can we help,

821
00:38:26,719 --> 00:38:29,239
Speaker 5: how can we play better? How can we win the game.

822
00:38:29,280 --> 00:38:32,400
Speaker 5: On defense, There's been a lot of past Baltimore Ravens

823
00:38:32,400 --> 00:38:35,759
Speaker 5: defenses that have you know, led teams. All I know

824
00:38:35,880 --> 00:38:37,840
Speaker 5: is that the biggest stat is, you know, we haven't

825
00:38:37,880 --> 00:38:40,279
Speaker 5: really had I think we've had one ton over and

826
00:38:40,440 --> 00:38:42,040
Speaker 5: all of Lamar's playoff games.

827
00:38:42,120 --> 00:38:44,560
Speaker 8: So I know it's all about the quarterback.

828
00:38:44,600 --> 00:38:46,360
Speaker 5: But you know, when you look at the numbers, you

829
00:38:46,360 --> 00:38:48,759
Speaker 5: look at the stats, you look at the reality the

830
00:38:48,760 --> 00:38:51,520
Speaker 5: Baltimore Ravens defense hasn't really helped out at all or

831
00:38:51,560 --> 00:38:52,680
Speaker 5: even done their part to.

832
00:38:52,840 --> 00:38:54,000
Speaker 8: Win some of these playoff games.

833
00:38:54,040 --> 00:38:56,840
Speaker 5: And that's kind of the biggest focus on us in

834
00:38:56,880 --> 00:38:59,200
Speaker 5: the defensive room this offseason, and that'll be the focus

835
00:38:59,239 --> 00:39:01,919
Speaker 5: in training camp and it'll translate.

836
00:39:01,600 --> 00:39:05,400
Speaker 3: To games a little inside football. But the gayr Alexander addition,

837
00:39:05,480 --> 00:39:07,640
Speaker 3: does this change anything for you? Do you prefer playing

838
00:39:07,640 --> 00:39:11,400
Speaker 3: on the inside outside? Does it matter or or because

839
00:39:11,400 --> 00:39:13,320
Speaker 3: the secondary is pretty stacked right now.

840
00:39:14,160 --> 00:39:16,240
Speaker 5: Yeah, yeah, it didn't matter to me. I was super

841
00:39:16,320 --> 00:39:19,279
Speaker 5: excited to add him to the to the squad. I

842
00:39:20,760 --> 00:39:23,520
Speaker 5: actually tried to hit him up on Instagram, but he

843
00:39:23,560 --> 00:39:26,040
Speaker 5: deleted his Instagram so I was like scrambling get his number.

844
00:39:26,320 --> 00:39:28,359
Speaker 5: And then by the time I even could get it,

845
00:39:28,520 --> 00:39:30,200
Speaker 5: I see him in the building and so I'm like,

846
00:39:30,760 --> 00:39:35,040
Speaker 5: all right, sweet, and I talked to him, and I'm

847
00:39:35,080 --> 00:39:35,680
Speaker 5: just super excited.

848
00:39:35,719 --> 00:39:37,200
Speaker 8: We got a lot of great players in our secondary

849
00:39:37,200 --> 00:39:37,600
Speaker 8: of this year.

850
00:39:37,640 --> 00:39:40,640
Speaker 5: I think the way we want to play, who plays

851
00:39:40,640 --> 00:39:43,680
Speaker 5: where matchups we put, you know, all our best guys

852
00:39:43,680 --> 00:39:44,160
Speaker 5: in the field.

853
00:39:45,040 --> 00:39:46,400
Speaker 8: Yeah, I'm just super excited it.

854
00:39:47,640 --> 00:39:49,560
Speaker 5: I think you just can't go wrong adding a guy

855
00:39:49,600 --> 00:39:52,200
Speaker 5: like that, and so I'm really excited for this year

856
00:39:52,239 --> 00:39:55,000
Speaker 5: secondary and excited for us to just make a lot

857
00:39:55,040 --> 00:39:57,439
Speaker 5: of plays and hopefully he'll he'll help. Like I said,

858
00:39:57,440 --> 00:39:59,560
Speaker 5: with getting those turnovers in the playoffs. He've done it

859
00:39:59,600 --> 00:40:01,640
Speaker 5: before and I look forwar him doing it again.

860
00:40:01,920 --> 00:40:03,920
Speaker 3: Let me quickly ask you, I noticed you played in

861
00:40:04,000 --> 00:40:08,040
Speaker 3: twenty fifteen at Alabama on a loaded team with Derrick Henry.

862
00:40:08,360 --> 00:40:10,600
Speaker 2: Is that the most dominant team you've ever been on

863
00:40:10,719 --> 00:40:11,400
Speaker 2: or was there a.

864
00:40:11,440 --> 00:40:14,239
Speaker 3: Ravens team you felt that was more dominant, because you, guys,

865
00:40:14,840 --> 00:40:17,279
Speaker 3: I'm looking at the results twenty fifteen, You guys just

866
00:40:17,560 --> 00:40:19,920
Speaker 3: eviscerated almost everybody.

867
00:40:21,040 --> 00:40:23,520
Speaker 8: We Yeah, it.

868
00:40:23,480 --> 00:40:26,360
Speaker 5: Would be it would be hard. I have been on

869
00:40:26,400 --> 00:40:29,919
Speaker 5: the number one defense and in the NFL, But that

870
00:40:29,920 --> 00:40:34,319
Speaker 5: that that that Alabama team was just next level. I

871
00:40:34,320 --> 00:40:37,879
Speaker 5: think everyone on the starters ended up getting drafted into

872
00:40:37,920 --> 00:40:41,640
Speaker 5: the NFL. You're breaking giving the ball at Derek Henry

873
00:40:41,640 --> 00:40:43,359
Speaker 5: forty times a game, Nobody can stop it.

874
00:40:44,000 --> 00:40:45,759
Speaker 8: So there was there was it was.

875
00:40:45,880 --> 00:40:48,720
Speaker 5: It was honestly pretty crazy to look back from that team,

876
00:40:48,840 --> 00:40:51,040
Speaker 5: and you know, obviously the next year we end up

877
00:40:51,040 --> 00:40:53,920
Speaker 5: losing a Clemson, but it would have been great to repeat.

878
00:40:53,960 --> 00:40:56,480
Speaker 8: But that that that's the fifteen team. It was just

879
00:40:57,040 --> 00:40:57,600
Speaker 8: it was just.

880
00:40:57,840 --> 00:41:00,920
Speaker 5: Loaded and I don't I don't know if there that

881
00:41:01,080 --> 00:41:03,880
Speaker 5: domination is can only be done really at the college level.

882
00:41:04,000 --> 00:41:05,920
Speaker 8: But that was that was a great year.

883
00:41:06,000 --> 00:41:08,280
Speaker 3: Yeah, all right, we could wrap up. You got a movie,

884
00:41:08,400 --> 00:41:11,959
Speaker 3: Nothing but a Winner. It's a documentary tell us about

885
00:41:12,000 --> 00:41:14,480
Speaker 3: it being part of the process. What's that been like

886
00:41:14,560 --> 00:41:18,080
Speaker 3: and any comparisons to football.

887
00:41:18,280 --> 00:41:19,120
Speaker 8: Yeah, so it was great.

888
00:41:19,200 --> 00:41:22,200
Speaker 5: I executive produced Nothing but a Winner, me and my sister,

889
00:41:22,320 --> 00:41:25,560
Speaker 5: she's the actress in La. It was a great opportunity

890
00:41:25,600 --> 00:41:27,719
Speaker 5: that got presented to me and I was able to

891
00:41:27,719 --> 00:41:30,320
Speaker 5: be a part of it and kind of have inputs

892
00:41:30,320 --> 00:41:33,960
Speaker 5: here and there and different things. It's basically just about

893
00:41:34,080 --> 00:41:37,520
Speaker 5: you know, the history of two great coaches at happened

894
00:41:37,520 --> 00:41:40,200
Speaker 5: to be at the universe Alabama. Some of the wins,

895
00:41:40,200 --> 00:41:42,440
Speaker 5: some of the you know, ugly losses, the kick six

896
00:41:42,520 --> 00:41:45,680
Speaker 5: for harburd fans out there, tune INTC they had, and

897
00:41:46,680 --> 00:41:49,799
Speaker 5: you know kind of how Bama came up part to be,

898
00:41:49,920 --> 00:41:53,319
Speaker 5: you know, with segregation and different things. First, you know,

899
00:41:53,760 --> 00:41:56,360
Speaker 5: athlete African American athlete at the university.

900
00:41:56,680 --> 00:41:58,719
Speaker 8: So a lot of different things going on with it.

901
00:41:58,880 --> 00:42:01,000
Speaker 8: But just as basically.

902
00:42:02,440 --> 00:42:06,040
Speaker 5: A documentary about just greatness, how it form the process

903
00:42:06,120 --> 00:42:08,200
Speaker 5: of it, all the great things that kind of is

904
00:42:08,600 --> 00:42:12,560
Speaker 5: in the rich history of Alabama football and just winning coaches.

905
00:42:12,600 --> 00:42:15,040
Speaker 5: That's the biggest thing is you can take away with

906
00:42:15,080 --> 00:42:18,839
Speaker 5: your Alabama fan, not Alabama fan. It's just really a

907

Speaker 2: Yeah, it sounds like July thirty first in theater's congrats

910
00:42:26,560 --> 00:42:28,359
Speaker 2: on that. I'm curious. A lot of.

911
00:42:28,280 --> 00:42:31,240
Speaker 3: People look to set themselves up for a post career.

912
00:42:31,560 --> 00:42:33,440
Speaker 3: You just turned twenty nine, so you got a ways

913
00:42:33,440 --> 00:42:36,640
Speaker 3: to go. But is Hollywood where you want to go next?

914
00:42:36,719 --> 00:42:38,600
Speaker 3: Or you know a lot of guys transition to the media,

915
00:42:39,040 --> 00:42:41,200
Speaker 3: or you could you know, do what Cam Newton's doing

916
00:42:41,200 --> 00:42:44,200
Speaker 3: and just start a podcast and trying to go rebel

917
00:42:44,280 --> 00:42:44,839
Speaker 3: rouse that way.

918
00:42:45,040 --> 00:42:46,240
Speaker 2: What do you think in post career?

919
00:42:48,280 --> 00:42:50,160
Speaker 8: I had a lot of different thoughts. Media was one.

920
00:42:51,480 --> 00:42:54,719
Speaker 5: You know, Hollywood would be would be awesome if I

921
00:42:54,760 --> 00:42:55,680
Speaker 5: if I chose that route.

922
00:42:55,719 --> 00:42:58,360
Speaker 8: There's you know, that's something I kind of think about.

923
00:42:58,880 --> 00:43:00,760
Speaker 5: You know, obviously, you do football for a long time

924
00:43:00,800 --> 00:43:02,480
Speaker 5: and you're you kind of figure out what do you

925
00:43:02,520 --> 00:43:04,800
Speaker 5: want to do after there's so many different ways you

926
00:43:04,840 --> 00:43:06,960
Speaker 5: can go, but I would love to. You know, I

927
00:43:07,000 --> 00:43:09,320
Speaker 5: always wanted to direct a movie. I always wanted to

928
00:43:09,320 --> 00:43:11,360
Speaker 5: play in a movie. So I've always wanted to do

929
00:43:11,400 --> 00:43:14,120
Speaker 5: something around that space. Maybe not full time. But the

930
00:43:14,160 --> 00:43:16,480
Speaker 5: cool thing about all that is that's something you can

931
00:43:16,520 --> 00:43:20,600
Speaker 5: do and do something else. But media, Hollywood, all those

932
00:43:20,600 --> 00:43:22,840
Speaker 5: things are kind of things that interest me. And just

933
00:43:23,200 --> 00:43:25,440
Speaker 5: we'll just have to see when what happens when I

934
00:43:25,480 --> 00:43:28,279
Speaker 5: when I retire with the wife says, you know, so

935
00:43:28,360 --> 00:43:31,080
Speaker 5: I always have a big part in that. I wish

936
00:43:31,120 --> 00:43:33,240
Speaker 5: I could be a pro golfer. If I could do that,

937
00:43:33,360 --> 00:43:35,560
Speaker 5: I would that would be the biggest one. But I

938
00:43:35,600 --> 00:43:37,719
Speaker 5: think I missed too many reps when I was six, seven,

939
00:43:37,800 --> 00:43:38,600
Speaker 5: eight years old.

940
00:43:38,960 --> 00:43:40,719
Speaker 8: You can't get back, and so.

941
00:43:41,320 --> 00:43:43,400
Speaker 5: The best I could do now was maybe break eighty

942
00:43:43,480 --> 00:43:46,040
Speaker 5: one day of my life and I'll consider that my

943
00:43:46,160 --> 00:43:46,560
Speaker 5: Super Bowl.

944
00:43:46,640 --> 00:43:48,520
Speaker 3: Hey, let me ask one more things. I just was

945
00:43:48,560 --> 00:43:50,920
Speaker 3: watching those highlights and I thought about something. So Travis

946
00:43:51,000 --> 00:43:53,400
Speaker 3: Hunter is coming into the league as an elite cornerback

947
00:43:53,600 --> 00:43:56,080
Speaker 3: and wants to play both ways. I'm assuming in high

948
00:43:56,080 --> 00:43:58,880
Speaker 3: school you were playing both ways and dominating. But Marlin,

949
00:43:58,960 --> 00:44:01,520
Speaker 3: my big thing the second he said this, I was like, okay,

950
00:44:01,560 --> 00:44:03,560
Speaker 3: so you got to play the Ravens, So you got

951
00:44:03,560 --> 00:44:07,400
Speaker 3: to go tackle Derek Henry and space then go to

952
00:44:07,400 --> 00:44:08,680
Speaker 3: the sideline and come back on and.

953
00:44:08,640 --> 00:44:11,319
Speaker 2: Run a bunch of passa. That's impossible. How on earth

954
00:44:11,360 --> 00:44:12,279
Speaker 2: is he going to be able to do this?

955
00:44:12,680 --> 00:44:14,400
Speaker 3: And I'm just curious your thoughts on on did you

956
00:44:14,440 --> 00:44:15,680
Speaker 3: play two ways in high school?

957
00:44:15,719 --> 00:44:18,480
Speaker 2: And yeah? Is this mission impossible for Travis Hunter?

958
00:44:20,600 --> 00:44:24,239
Speaker 8: I think, you know, he is very talented. I think

959
00:44:24,320 --> 00:44:25,960
Speaker 8: he's me watching.

960
00:44:26,000 --> 00:44:28,799
Speaker 5: I think he's a really really elite DV based off

961
00:44:28,840 --> 00:44:30,839
Speaker 5: the you know, a couple of games I saw this

962
00:44:31,320 --> 00:44:31,919
Speaker 5: past year.

963
00:44:32,400 --> 00:44:35,719
Speaker 8: But to do both it seems very mission impossible.

964
00:44:35,760 --> 00:44:39,279
Speaker 5: As you know, I think Dion obviously did a little

965
00:44:39,320 --> 00:44:40,759
Speaker 5: bit of it, you know, back in his day, but

966
00:44:40,800 --> 00:44:44,160
Speaker 5: I just think the game has changed so much since then.

967
00:44:44,440 --> 00:44:48,719
Speaker 5: Dion was clearly light and day the fastest guy out there. Nowadays,

968
00:44:48,800 --> 00:44:52,040
Speaker 5: everybody's fast, you know. I think of Jason Kelsey, that

969
00:44:52,160 --> 00:44:55,520
Speaker 5: dude's running up on you just as fast as as

970
00:44:55,520 --> 00:45:00,080
Speaker 5: a receiver tight end. So I think he's really he

971
00:45:00,200 --> 00:45:04,480
Speaker 5: got a tough challenge ahead. I think eventually he will realize, man,

972
00:45:04,520 --> 00:45:07,000
Speaker 5: it's really really hard to do this at a high

973
00:45:07,080 --> 00:45:08,440
Speaker 5: level where every week you're.

974
00:45:08,320 --> 00:45:10,399
Speaker 8: Playing a top NFL team.

975
00:45:10,440 --> 00:45:12,880
Speaker 5: It's not like college, where you know, there is teams

976
00:45:12,920 --> 00:45:15,640
Speaker 5: on everyone's roster, where it's like this should be a

977
00:45:15,680 --> 00:45:16,960
Speaker 5: pretty easy game.

978
00:45:17,200 --> 00:45:19,480
Speaker 8: And that's just not the case in the NFL.

979
00:45:20,400 --> 00:45:24,839
Speaker 5: And I think he'll I hope he has success with it,

980
00:45:25,080 --> 00:45:27,239
Speaker 5: and I hope he just decides it's just too much

981
00:45:27,239 --> 00:45:29,920
Speaker 5: for me as opposed to you know, he kind of

982
00:45:30,120 --> 00:45:32,239
Speaker 5: struggles with it. But I definitely think he has the

983
00:45:32,239 --> 00:45:34,759
Speaker 5: ability to do it, but I more just think the

984
00:45:34,800 --> 00:45:35,600
Speaker 5: stamina to do it.

985
00:45:35,600 --> 00:45:36,960
Speaker 8: I don't know if anyone has that to do it

986
00:45:36,960 --> 00:45:38,879
Speaker 8: for You played with.

987
00:45:38,880 --> 00:45:39,960
Speaker 2: Derreck Henry in college.

988
00:45:40,000 --> 00:45:42,080
Speaker 3: Now he's your teammate, have you I'm just curious, have

989
00:45:42,160 --> 00:45:43,239
Speaker 3: you ever tackled him?

990
00:45:43,480 --> 00:45:44,360
Speaker 2: What the hell is that?

991
00:45:44,520 --> 00:45:48,399
Speaker 8: Like? The problem is he's so tall.

992
00:45:48,440 --> 00:45:52,200
Speaker 5: A lot of times you go low, his knee will

993
00:45:52,239 --> 00:45:55,720
Speaker 5: actually hit your head, and it's it's a lot he's

994
00:45:56,120 --> 00:45:59,120
Speaker 5: this stuff got to tackle. He's somehow, I don't know how,

995
00:45:59,320 --> 00:46:02,080
Speaker 5: he gets stronger and faster in the fourth quarter while

996
00:46:02,080 --> 00:46:04,480
Speaker 5: everyone else seems to be fatiguing, And I think that

997
00:46:04,560 --> 00:46:07,680
Speaker 5: gives him a lot of his advantage. But his exception

998
00:46:07,760 --> 00:46:09,960
Speaker 5: speed he's so tall. He's getting on the edge faster

999
00:46:10,000 --> 00:46:12,160
Speaker 5: than what you think. And if you if you don't

1000
00:46:12,200 --> 00:46:14,919
Speaker 5: go now, it's it's bad and it's stiff. Arm will

1001
00:46:14,960 --> 00:46:18,240
Speaker 5: throw you around, but it's rough. It's something at the corner.

1002
00:46:18,320 --> 00:46:20,560
Speaker 5: You think, I shouldn't be doing this. I don't want

1003
00:46:20,600 --> 00:46:22,440
Speaker 5: to do this. The linebacker Delauna should be doing this.

1004
00:46:22,560 --> 00:46:24,040
Speaker 5: But when you do, got to do it, you gotta

1005
00:46:24,440 --> 00:46:26,239
Speaker 5: you gotta run your feet, try not to close your

1006
00:46:26,280 --> 00:46:27,480
Speaker 5: eyes and try to get him down.

1007
00:46:27,719 --> 00:46:30,440
Speaker 3: Yeah, good stuff, Marlin Humphrey, check out is movie nothing

1008
00:46:30,480 --> 00:46:33,120
Speaker 3: but a winner. End of this month in theater's congrats

1009
00:46:33,120 --> 00:46:34,360
Speaker 3: on everything man, and good.

1010
00:46:34,280 --> 00:46:37,319
Speaker 8: Luck this year. Yes, yes, thank you so much.

1011
00:46:37,480 --> 00:46:40,760
Speaker 3: All right, Marlon Humphrey, who's a budding golfer who knew

1012
00:46:40,880 --> 00:46:44,080
Speaker 3: I had no idea, but I hope Travis Hunter was listening.

1013
00:46:44,120 --> 00:46:45,759
Speaker 2: Did you, I mean, did you hear did you see

1014
00:46:45,760 --> 00:46:47,799
Speaker 2: the reaction? Alex? He almost started laughing. He's like, yeah,

1015
00:46:47,800 --> 00:46:48,920
Speaker 2: that's mischief. It's hard.

1016
00:46:49,000 --> 00:46:51,480
Speaker 4: I mean again, like you, you never wanted to deter

1017
00:46:51,680 --> 00:46:55,799
Speaker 4: someone from reaching a crazy goal that we've never seen before.

1018
00:46:55,800 --> 00:46:57,480
Speaker 2: I mean, people have to show. Hey, Otani when he.

1019
00:46:57,440 --> 00:46:59,719
Speaker 4: Said he was going to be a power hitter and

1020
00:46:59,719 --> 00:47:03,640
Speaker 4: An's pitcher. Obviously, it's way different on your body baseball

1021
00:47:03,680 --> 00:47:06,800
Speaker 4: compared to football, but again, don't knock it until you

1022
00:47:06,920 --> 00:47:11,360
Speaker 4: until you try it. I think that's kind of most players'

1023
00:47:11,360 --> 00:47:13,719
Speaker 4: reactions are going to be what Marlin's reaction was, but

1024
00:47:13,880 --> 00:47:19,880
Speaker 4: again he's very impressed. Producer Golfer like like that was

1025
00:47:19,880 --> 00:47:21,919
Speaker 4: a good interview, pretty fun
