00:00:22,388 --> 00:00:25,668
Speaker 2: Good Morning Football. Welcome to GMF.

4
00:00:25,868 --> 00:00:29,708
Speaker 3: It is Friday, April eleven, Sarah Isaiah, we got Jalen,

5
00:00:29,788 --> 00:00:32,428
Speaker 3: We've got Kyle. We've got an insider. And this is

6
00:00:32,428 --> 00:00:34,748
Speaker 3: the part of the show where usually I'm instructed to

7
00:00:34,788 --> 00:00:36,388
Speaker 3: do the camera turn and say we want to bring

8
00:00:36,388 --> 00:00:39,148
Speaker 3: in an NFL network insider. We didn't even have to

9
00:00:39,428 --> 00:00:42,148
Speaker 3: to script this. We got one seated out there with Kyle.

10
00:00:42,188 --> 00:00:44,628
Speaker 3: This is there's nothing in the prompter, but Mike Garrifollo,

11
00:00:44,708 --> 00:00:46,508
Speaker 3: we have news, so help us out what's happening with

12
00:00:46,588 --> 00:00:47,108
Speaker 3: Joe Flacco.

13
00:00:47,388 --> 00:00:48,148
Speaker 4: We do have news.

14
00:00:48,148 --> 00:00:50,148
Speaker 5: We had Joe Flacco back to the Browns and a

15
00:00:50,148 --> 00:00:52,988
Speaker 5: one year deal worth four million dollars here incentives on

16
00:00:53,028 --> 00:00:55,748
Speaker 5: top of that that he can earn. But the comeback

17
00:00:55,788 --> 00:00:57,708
Speaker 5: Player of the Year just a couple of years ago

18
00:00:57,828 --> 00:01:00,868
Speaker 5: for what he did late in the season in Cleveland.

19
00:01:00,948 --> 00:01:03,348
Speaker 5: Now going to join the Browns for a full run

20
00:01:03,388 --> 00:01:06,108
Speaker 5: here in twenty twenty five after kind of a weird

21
00:01:06,188 --> 00:01:08,988
Speaker 5: year for him with the Indianapolis Cults in twenty twenty four.

22
00:01:08,988 --> 00:01:11,348
Speaker 5: I remember the Browns didn't bring Flacco back two years

23
00:01:11,348 --> 00:01:14,108
Speaker 5: ago because or last year, I should say, after what

24
00:01:14,148 --> 00:01:16,028
Speaker 5: he did two years ago, because a little bit of

25
00:01:16,028 --> 00:01:19,508
Speaker 5: a worrisome situation potentially with the crowd clamoring for him

26
00:01:19,508 --> 00:01:22,108
Speaker 5: while they had Deshaun Watson. Don't have to worry about

27
00:01:22,108 --> 00:01:24,268
Speaker 5: that at this point because Deshaun Watson is not going

28
00:01:24,268 --> 00:01:26,068
Speaker 5: to play this upcoming season, may never play for the

29
00:01:26,068 --> 00:01:28,908
Speaker 5: Browns again, certainly with what Jimmy Haslam said. So now

30
00:01:28,948 --> 00:01:33,228
Speaker 5: it's Kenny Pickett and Joe Flacco for the Browns. Potentially

31
00:01:33,268 --> 00:01:35,388
Speaker 5: could be adding a rookie to the mix in the draft.

32
00:01:35,428 --> 00:01:36,108
Speaker 4: We shall see.

33
00:01:36,388 --> 00:01:39,988
Speaker 5: But Isaiah, your thoughts out there in La on the

34
00:01:40,028 --> 00:01:41,948
Speaker 5: Browns bringing back Joe FLACKO, Yeah.

35
00:01:41,908 --> 00:01:44,068
Speaker 6: To me, it's not the most exciting piece. Well, first

36
00:01:44,068 --> 00:01:47,828
Speaker 6: of all, kudos to Joe Flacco. He's been playing since Jesus' birth,

37
00:01:48,028 --> 00:01:50,788
Speaker 6: I believe. But he's staying on rosters and that's awesome.

38
00:01:51,028 --> 00:01:51,508
Speaker 7: I think for.

39
00:01:51,508 --> 00:01:53,628
Speaker 6: Cleveland this is just assurance for them, right, you get

40
00:01:53,628 --> 00:01:56,468
Speaker 6: insurance policies for the what ifs, right for the just

41
00:01:56,548 --> 00:01:59,068
Speaker 6: in cases. You hope that you never have to use it,

42
00:01:59,268 --> 00:02:01,228
Speaker 6: but it's there if you need it. And I think

43
00:02:01,228 --> 00:02:03,228
Speaker 6: that's exactly what Cleveland is doing. They went out there

44
00:02:03,228 --> 00:02:06,108
Speaker 6: and traded for Kenny Pickett. They added him there just

45
00:02:06,148 --> 00:02:08,348
Speaker 6: in case. But I don't believe that either one of

46
00:02:08,388 --> 00:02:10,908
Speaker 6: these guys, can you Picktt or Joe Flacco is their

47
00:02:11,068 --> 00:02:13,508
Speaker 6: guy that they wanted to rock with. I still believe

48
00:02:13,508 --> 00:02:15,188
Speaker 6: that they're going to go out there and use a

49
00:02:15,228 --> 00:02:16,788
Speaker 6: high draft pace to try to bring it in a

50
00:02:16,868 --> 00:02:19,748
Speaker 6: quarterback because I think if looking towards the future, it's

51
00:02:19,788 --> 00:02:20,428
Speaker 6: what they need.

52
00:02:21,908 --> 00:02:24,588
Speaker 8: Joe Flacco is very seasoned.

53
00:02:24,948 --> 00:02:27,948
Speaker 9: He's a guy that when you talk about being productive,

54
00:02:28,148 --> 00:02:31,228
Speaker 9: he's done it. And that's what we love. When you

55
00:02:31,268 --> 00:02:34,508
Speaker 9: talk about the Cleveland Browns. Cleveland Browns, they have failed

56
00:02:34,548 --> 00:02:37,908
Speaker 9: when it comes to finding their quarterback. Joe Flacco has

57
00:02:38,068 --> 00:02:40,748
Speaker 9: recent success in the Cleveland brown uniform.

58
00:02:40,908 --> 00:02:42,748
Speaker 8: So bringing him in, even.

59
00:02:42,588 --> 00:02:45,628
Speaker 9: If they draft a quarterback high, he'll have an opportunity

60
00:02:45,988 --> 00:02:49,908
Speaker 9: to be able to learn and educate up under Joe Flacco.

61
00:02:50,068 --> 00:02:52,908
Speaker 9: You talk about drafting a cam Ward or Shad or

62
00:02:52,988 --> 00:02:55,468
Speaker 9: Sanders high, he'll be able to learn from Joe Flacco,

63
00:02:55,588 --> 00:02:58,108
Speaker 9: who also has a Super Bowl championship.

64
00:02:58,428 --> 00:03:00,548
Speaker 3: Just a little cleanup on the math of he's been

65
00:03:00,588 --> 00:03:02,828
Speaker 3: playing since he turned forty in January.

66
00:03:03,108 --> 00:03:03,828
Speaker 2: FI, there you go.

67
00:03:03,948 --> 00:03:06,428
Speaker 3: Isaiah, we want to go back to Mike g now

68
00:03:06,788 --> 00:03:08,988
Speaker 3: and go to New York where the Giants hold the

69
00:03:08,988 --> 00:03:11,028
Speaker 3: third overall pick. You know a little something about that

70
00:03:11,148 --> 00:03:13,908
Speaker 3: area at Garri Folla. What can you give us on

71
00:03:14,068 --> 00:03:16,948
Speaker 3: the Giants and what they are thinking with that third

72
00:03:16,988 --> 00:03:17,588
Speaker 3: overall pick.

73
00:03:18,228 --> 00:03:20,828
Speaker 5: Well, they're thinking about the possibility of grabbing themselves a

74
00:03:20,828 --> 00:03:23,268
Speaker 5: franchise quarterback in Shador Sanders. If you're there, and they've

75
00:03:23,308 --> 00:03:26,308
Speaker 5: got a ton of work on Shador Sanders going back

76
00:03:26,308 --> 00:03:28,908
Speaker 5: to late in the season when they were attending practice

77
00:03:28,908 --> 00:03:32,468
Speaker 5: there at Colorado and all indications pointing toward interest in them,

78
00:03:32,708 --> 00:03:35,108
Speaker 5: the interactions. I know we've had some reports out there

79
00:03:35,108 --> 00:03:37,788
Speaker 5: about Shador sanders interactions with teams that have not been

80
00:03:37,828 --> 00:03:40,188
Speaker 5: so great. My understanding is his interactions with the Giants

81
00:03:40,508 --> 00:03:43,108
Speaker 5: have been really good going back months on end to

82
00:03:43,188 --> 00:03:43,668
Speaker 5: this point.

83
00:03:43,708 --> 00:03:44,868
Speaker 4: So they're going to have.

84
00:03:44,948 --> 00:03:47,268
Speaker 5: A decision to make because it's going to be potentially

85
00:03:47,308 --> 00:03:50,748
Speaker 5: Travis Hunter or Abdul Carter available to them at number

86
00:03:50,748 --> 00:03:52,868
Speaker 5: three while also the quarterback of the future, but a

87
00:03:52,868 --> 00:03:55,748
Speaker 5: guy who may not play this upcoming season because you've

88
00:03:55,748 --> 00:03:58,348
Speaker 5: got Russell Wilson and you've got Jameis Winston as well.

89
00:03:58,388 --> 00:04:00,108
Speaker 5: And a guy in Sanders who's going to need some

90
00:04:00,188 --> 00:04:02,268
Speaker 5: seasoning at the NFL level. So you can get an

91
00:04:02,268 --> 00:04:04,628
Speaker 5: impact player right away at three, or you can get

92
00:04:04,628 --> 00:04:07,068
Speaker 5: a franchise quarterback potentially in the making, but it's going

93
00:04:07,148 --> 00:04:08,708
Speaker 5: to take some time before he sees the field. I

94
00:04:08,748 --> 00:04:11,348
Speaker 5: think it's high drama for the Giants on draft night.

95
00:04:11,508 --> 00:04:13,268
Speaker 5: I hope that we do see that scenario that we're

96
00:04:13,268 --> 00:04:15,468
Speaker 5: talking about right now with them on the clock impact

97
00:04:15,508 --> 00:04:17,788
Speaker 5: player or franchise quarterbackcause I think it's going to be

98
00:04:17,948 --> 00:04:20,428
Speaker 5: quite the theater for the Giants on draft night.

99
00:04:20,468 --> 00:04:23,388
Speaker 4: But we're coming like this is me like reporting via sources.

100
00:04:23,428 --> 00:04:26,348
Speaker 5: I have thoughts on what the Giants should do, but Isaia,

101
00:04:26,348 --> 00:04:27,348
Speaker 5: I'm going to throw it to you and let you

102
00:04:27,428 --> 00:04:28,988
Speaker 5: answer it first because I want to come back.

103
00:04:29,508 --> 00:04:30,548
Speaker 4: I do have an idea for.

104
00:04:30,548 --> 00:04:31,788
Speaker 7: Them, ok right, I'm just gonna throw this up.

105
00:04:32,188 --> 00:04:35,068
Speaker 6: I believe that this decision this year for the number one,

106
00:04:35,148 --> 00:04:37,268
Speaker 6: number three pick overall for the New York Giants is

107
00:04:37,308 --> 00:04:39,108
Speaker 6: not in the hands of the GM and I don't

108
00:04:39,188 --> 00:04:40,188
Speaker 6: believe it's in the hands of a.

109
00:04:40,228 --> 00:04:41,028
Speaker 7: Head coach as well.

110
00:04:41,308 --> 00:04:42,828
Speaker 6: I think that this is going to be a Mara

111
00:04:42,988 --> 00:04:46,588
Speaker 6: and Tish family decision because they have given both the

112
00:04:46,748 --> 00:04:49,028
Speaker 6: GM and the head coach opportunities to figure this thing

113
00:04:49,028 --> 00:04:50,988
Speaker 6: out and they are on their last leg. So I

114
00:04:51,068 --> 00:04:53,268
Speaker 6: believe that the ownership in New York is going to

115
00:04:53,468 --> 00:04:56,708
Speaker 6: ensure that their future regardless of that means that this

116
00:04:56,828 --> 00:04:58,588
Speaker 6: year on the last year of the contract for them,

117
00:04:58,868 --> 00:05:01,068
Speaker 6: won't say, possibly the last year the contract for the

118
00:05:01,108 --> 00:05:03,668
Speaker 6: GM and a head coach coach Dabo out there is

119
00:05:03,708 --> 00:05:05,828
Speaker 6: not going to rest in their hands. I think that

120
00:05:05,868 --> 00:05:08,348
Speaker 6: the ownership wants to ensure that their future is in

121
00:05:08,428 --> 00:05:10,948
Speaker 6: good hands, and I can't believe that they would miss

122
00:05:10,948 --> 00:05:13,348
Speaker 6: on an opportunity to bring in somebody that they might

123
00:05:13,348 --> 00:05:15,988
Speaker 6: deem as a franchise quarterback that's good for either this

124
00:05:16,068 --> 00:05:17,828
Speaker 6: coaching staff or the coaching staffs to come.

125
00:05:18,268 --> 00:05:22,428
Speaker 9: The New York Giants have done a horrible job, and

126
00:05:22,468 --> 00:05:24,028
Speaker 9: I love the New York's I played for the New

127
00:05:24,108 --> 00:05:27,748
Speaker 9: York Giants, love Lamar family. Done a terrible job at

128
00:05:28,148 --> 00:05:31,868
Speaker 9: for one, not signing Sae Kwon Barkley when you had

129
00:05:31,908 --> 00:05:35,028
Speaker 9: the chance to that was something that hurt all of

130
00:05:35,068 --> 00:05:35,588
Speaker 9: our hearts.

131
00:05:35,988 --> 00:05:37,828
Speaker 8: But when you talk about Dable and.

132
00:05:37,828 --> 00:05:40,268
Speaker 9: Joe Shane being on the line on the hot seat,

133
00:05:40,828 --> 00:05:44,268
Speaker 9: they got to get this thing right, allowing Daniel Jones

134
00:05:44,548 --> 00:05:44,908
Speaker 9: to go.

135
00:05:45,628 --> 00:05:48,388
Speaker 8: They need to ensure the future.

136
00:05:48,388 --> 00:05:53,188
Speaker 9: And Brian Dabile being an offensive guy. Drafting Shador Sanders,

137
00:05:53,388 --> 00:05:57,228
Speaker 9: Shador getting a chance to learn from two veteran quarterbacks.

138
00:05:57,228 --> 00:05:59,868
Speaker 9: When you talk about Russell Wilson and Jameis Winston, the

139
00:05:59,868 --> 00:06:03,268
Speaker 9: Heisman winner, college football Championship winner, there's a lot of

140
00:06:03,348 --> 00:06:06,628
Speaker 9: nuggets that Shador and learn up under these two. And

141
00:06:07,028 --> 00:06:09,228
Speaker 9: the New York Giants, I believe they make the right

142
00:06:09,228 --> 00:06:11,388
Speaker 9: decision by drafting Shador Sanders.

143
00:06:11,588 --> 00:06:12,108
Speaker 7: That would be.

144
00:06:12,028 --> 00:06:13,908
Speaker 10: Cool, and I would love Shador here in New York.

145
00:06:14,028 --> 00:06:15,588
Speaker 10: But it does lead me to another scenario that I

146
00:06:15,588 --> 00:06:17,948
Speaker 10: want to ask you about, Mike. You're talking about the

147
00:06:17,988 --> 00:06:19,868
Speaker 10: Giants spend a lot of time with Shador. They like them,

148
00:06:19,908 --> 00:06:22,308
Speaker 10: they're into them. Okay, let's say right now that they're

149
00:06:22,348 --> 00:06:23,908
Speaker 10: in on Shador and they're ready to pick him.

150
00:06:23,948 --> 00:06:24,588
Speaker 8: If the draft was.

151
00:06:24,588 --> 00:06:28,148
Speaker 10: Right now, cam Ward goes to the Titans, Shadoor Sanders

152
00:06:28,148 --> 00:06:30,468
Speaker 10: goes to the Cleveland Browns at two. Yeah, the Giants

153
00:06:30,508 --> 00:06:32,628
Speaker 10: are sitting there wanting to take Shador.

154
00:06:32,708 --> 00:06:33,348
Speaker 7: He's gone.

155
00:06:33,708 --> 00:06:36,508
Speaker 5: What happens then, Oh, I mean, at that point, I'm

156
00:06:36,548 --> 00:06:37,668
Speaker 5: assuming they take Travis Hunter.

157
00:06:37,788 --> 00:06:38,468
Speaker 4: That's all I would do it.

158
00:06:38,548 --> 00:06:40,348
Speaker 10: And they go to Russell Wilson as the starting quarterback

159
00:06:40,348 --> 00:06:42,068
Speaker 10: this year, Yeah, because they got to win some games.

160
00:06:42,148 --> 00:06:42,668
Speaker 4: Yeah.

161
00:06:42,708 --> 00:06:44,748
Speaker 5: And now where you are in this regime with Brian

162
00:06:44,828 --> 00:06:48,068
Speaker 5: Dable and with Joe Shane, you've got to win some games. Now,

163
00:06:48,828 --> 00:06:51,068
Speaker 5: I do you're asking me right now? I do believe

164
00:06:51,228 --> 00:06:53,908
Speaker 5: Cleveland goes Travis Hunter at two. Okay, so now you're

165
00:06:53,908 --> 00:06:57,028
Speaker 5: looking at Abdua Carter or Shador Sanders at three.

166
00:06:57,388 --> 00:06:58,228
Speaker 4: Now, look, I.

167
00:06:58,188 --> 00:07:00,548
Speaker 5: Did the whole with what I'm hearing, did the whole

168
00:07:00,548 --> 00:07:01,228
Speaker 5: reporting thing.

169
00:07:01,468 --> 00:07:03,388
Speaker 4: This is a different question. What should the Giants do?

170
00:07:03,548 --> 00:07:05,588
Speaker 4: This is not a report by making an opinion, this

171
00:07:05,668 --> 00:07:08,188
Speaker 4: is been a pick what they should do.

172
00:07:08,468 --> 00:07:12,988
Speaker 5: Ashton Genty Ashton the Boise State running back at number three.

173
00:07:13,068 --> 00:07:15,148
Speaker 4: Now you might say we're drafted a running back that

174
00:07:15,228 --> 00:07:16,868
Speaker 4: HyG They once drafted a running.

175
00:07:16,588 --> 00:07:17,308
Speaker 8: Back even high.

176
00:07:17,348 --> 00:07:19,948
Speaker 5: I remember, and then John Marraw walked into Joe Shane's

177
00:07:19,948 --> 00:07:22,468
Speaker 5: office and said, this guy is our most popular player

178
00:07:22,708 --> 00:07:25,468
Speaker 5: by far, and they got it on camera because of

179
00:07:25,508 --> 00:07:26,268
Speaker 5: an amazing.

180
00:07:25,948 --> 00:07:27,788
Speaker 4: Show called Hard Knocks, the off season edition.

181
00:07:27,668 --> 00:07:29,868
Speaker 5: Which they should absolutely bring back and force a team

182
00:07:29,908 --> 00:07:31,908
Speaker 5: to do because nobody wants to do it because of

183
00:07:31,948 --> 00:07:34,548
Speaker 5: what happened with that show. But it was amazing insight

184
00:07:34,588 --> 00:07:37,828
Speaker 5: into John Mara saying, this guy is a popular player.

185
00:07:38,268 --> 00:07:42,668
Speaker 6: This dude right here on the field, off the field,

186
00:07:43,108 --> 00:07:44,748
Speaker 6: everything I hear about him, like there.

187
00:07:44,708 --> 00:07:46,748
Speaker 4: Was there was talk is he a top ten pick?

188
00:07:46,828 --> 00:07:47,428
Speaker 11: That's over?

189
00:07:47,868 --> 00:07:49,828
Speaker 5: It's now is he a top five pick? And I

190
00:07:49,868 --> 00:07:52,188
Speaker 5: think the answer might wind up being yes. By the way,

191
00:07:52,228 --> 00:07:54,708
Speaker 5: and you could see some jockey position for Ashton genty,

192
00:07:54,748 --> 00:07:57,748
Speaker 5: but John Marra, you'd get your popular player right back

193
00:07:57,948 --> 00:08:00,348
Speaker 5: at that position. He'd have an impact. We're starting to

194
00:08:00,348 --> 00:08:02,708
Speaker 5: see teams value the running back even more. I would

195
00:08:02,708 --> 00:08:05,068
Speaker 5: absolutely consider it now they were there and his pro day,

196
00:08:05,108 --> 00:08:06,708
Speaker 5: but not out and Mass the way they were at.

197
00:08:06,628 --> 00:08:07,028
Speaker 8: The other one.

198
00:08:07,068 --> 00:08:09,148
Speaker 5: So I don't think it's going to happen, but I

199
00:08:09,188 --> 00:08:10,308
Speaker 5: would certainly st So.

200
00:08:10,308 --> 00:08:14,028
Speaker 10: You are reporting that the Giants, Here's what I say,

201
00:08:14,028 --> 00:08:15,708
Speaker 10: and I when I go back to LA but here's

202
00:08:15,748 --> 00:08:18,228
Speaker 10: what I say. If the Giants do love Shador and

203
00:08:18,228 --> 00:08:20,308
Speaker 10: we're talking to hypotheticals and they're like, you want him

204
00:08:20,348 --> 00:08:22,828
Speaker 10: to be at a quarterback, you have to entertain trading

205
00:08:22,828 --> 00:08:25,508
Speaker 10: with the Browns because we've seen this before. Teams in

206
00:08:25,548 --> 00:08:27,868
Speaker 10: the top five have swap picks because the Browns. That's

207
00:08:27,868 --> 00:08:29,948
Speaker 10: why I think that Joe Flacco signing is interesting. The

208
00:08:29,988 --> 00:08:33,388
Speaker 10: Browns quarterback room is very important to the entire draft.

209
00:08:33,548 --> 00:08:34,548
Speaker 2: They got Kenny.

210
00:08:34,228 --> 00:08:37,308
Speaker 10: Pickett, which is n and they got Flacco, who's just Flacco.

211
00:08:37,668 --> 00:08:40,148
Speaker 10: You're not going to the season with Picket and Flacco.

212
00:08:40,628 --> 00:08:43,668
Speaker 10: So if I'm the Browns, I am screaming to everyone

213
00:08:43,708 --> 00:08:46,228
Speaker 10: how much you want to draft a quarterback in this draft,

214
00:08:46,388 --> 00:08:49,148
Speaker 10: even if you don't, to get the Giants' attention so

215
00:08:49,188 --> 00:08:51,428
Speaker 10: they're not left out in the cold. My last question,

216
00:08:51,468 --> 00:08:53,108
Speaker 10: I have one more question from Mike and every big back.

217
00:08:53,308 --> 00:08:56,428
Speaker 10: I want to know what a marriage between the Mara

218
00:08:56,628 --> 00:09:00,308
Speaker 10: family and the Sanders family would be like. Those are

219
00:09:00,388 --> 00:09:03,228
Speaker 10: families that the mara is just since we love Eli

220
00:09:03,268 --> 00:09:06,348
Speaker 10: Manning and they were kind of quiet, dignified in class,

221
00:09:06,348 --> 00:09:09,948
Speaker 10: whereas the Sanders are unapologetically about flash and dollar signs and.

222
00:09:09,948 --> 00:09:13,668
Speaker 2: Money it's all wonderful. Does that work in New York

223
00:09:13,708 --> 00:09:14,788
Speaker 2: and in that program.

224
00:09:14,828 --> 00:09:16,028
Speaker 4: I absolutely think it works.

225
00:09:16,708 --> 00:09:19,228
Speaker 5: And I also believe that there's a second half of

226
00:09:19,268 --> 00:09:20,908
Speaker 5: this equation that you have to look at, which is

227
00:09:20,948 --> 00:09:24,508
Speaker 5: the Tish family and Steve Tish being involved in Hollywood,

228
00:09:24,588 --> 00:09:28,668
Speaker 5: so not a stranger to these kinds of personalities. It

229
00:09:28,748 --> 00:09:30,268
Speaker 5: is the New York Market is a team that needs

230
00:09:30,268 --> 00:09:32,148
Speaker 5: a little bit of sizzle right oh now, and they

231
00:09:32,188 --> 00:09:34,188
Speaker 5: didn't shy away from it when they had Odell Beckham.

232
00:09:34,188 --> 00:09:36,148
Speaker 5: There were other reasons why they moved away from but

233
00:09:36,148 --> 00:09:37,588
Speaker 5: it's not like they looked at this and we.

234
00:09:37,588 --> 00:09:38,588
Speaker 4: Got to get this guy out of here.

235
00:09:38,668 --> 00:09:40,868
Speaker 5: There's too much attention and all that stuff. John Merrow

236
00:09:40,868 --> 00:09:42,828
Speaker 5: will lean into the attention. Go back to their team

237
00:09:42,868 --> 00:09:46,068
Speaker 5: back in twenty seven, twenty eleven. They had some huge

238
00:09:46,108 --> 00:09:48,868
Speaker 5: personalities on the nam. They're not afraid of that.

239
00:09:48,948 --> 00:09:49,228
Speaker 7: Of course.

240
00:09:49,228 --> 00:09:51,708
Speaker 5: He just got to get the football part of it right, Ella, and.

241
00:09:51,668 --> 00:09:52,588
Speaker 7: I want to just double down.

242
00:09:52,948 --> 00:09:54,868
Speaker 6: I think the part that a lot of people are

243
00:09:54,868 --> 00:09:57,868
Speaker 6: not paying enough attention to in regards to teams and

244
00:09:57,988 --> 00:10:01,228
Speaker 6: quarterbacks in leadership right now is we're seeing a researchence

245
00:10:01,268 --> 00:10:04,028
Speaker 6: somehow of people trying to hold on to that old

246
00:10:04,028 --> 00:10:05,628
Speaker 6: thing like they're trying to get you, trying to get

247
00:10:05,668 --> 00:10:07,468
Speaker 6: your groove back, right o, Stella, trying to get your

248
00:10:07,468 --> 00:10:10,548
Speaker 6: groove back, and it's like Kirk Cousins trying to hold

249
00:10:10,548 --> 00:10:12,988
Speaker 6: on right Aaron Rodgers trying to hold on Joe Flackle.

250
00:10:13,068 --> 00:10:14,788
Speaker 6: We're trying to hold on to these guys that had

251
00:10:14,868 --> 00:10:15,988
Speaker 6: success early on.

252
00:10:15,908 --> 00:10:16,548
Speaker 7: In their career.

253
00:10:16,908 --> 00:10:19,148
Speaker 6: You've got to start developing the next the next generation

254
00:10:19,228 --> 00:10:21,828
Speaker 6: of player. And when you start talking about who's available

255
00:10:21,988 --> 00:10:24,108
Speaker 6: in this year's draft, if you're the New York Giants,

256
00:10:24,148 --> 00:10:26,348
Speaker 6: and if Kim Wod does go number one, and if

257
00:10:26,348 --> 00:10:29,628
Speaker 6: Cleveland somehow passes on your door, I don't believe that

258
00:10:29,708 --> 00:10:33,908
Speaker 6: you can pass on a quarterback who has always shown

259
00:10:33,948 --> 00:10:36,388
Speaker 6: you that they have built up the programs and the

260
00:10:36,428 --> 00:10:38,908
Speaker 6: players around them. I don't believe that you can pass

261
00:10:38,948 --> 00:10:42,108
Speaker 6: on a quarterback who, for the long behold it is

262
00:10:42,108 --> 00:10:43,868
Speaker 6: probably the only person we've seen in a very long

263
00:10:43,908 --> 00:10:46,868
Speaker 6: time who is capable of handling the market and the

264
00:10:46,868 --> 00:10:49,228
Speaker 6: scrutiny that comes with being the quarterback of the New

265
00:10:49,308 --> 00:10:49,948
Speaker 6: York Giants.

266
00:10:49,988 --> 00:10:52,308
Speaker 2: And I don't believe that, if you're the New York Giants.

267
00:10:51,988 --> 00:10:54,868
Speaker 6: That you can rest your hat on two veteran quarterbacks

268
00:10:54,908 --> 00:10:56,268
Speaker 6: who are not going to be a part of your

269
00:10:56,348 --> 00:10:59,028
Speaker 6: organization for the years to come. You do not want

270
00:10:59,068 --> 00:11:01,108
Speaker 6: to be in a position after the twenty twenty five

271
00:11:01,268 --> 00:11:03,988
Speaker 6: twenty twenty six season where you're now looking.

272
00:11:03,708 --> 00:11:06,348
Speaker 7: For a quarterback again, because all you're going to do.

273
00:11:06,428 --> 00:11:08,588
Speaker 6: Is try to either hold on to it like Stella,

274
00:11:08,788 --> 00:11:10,988
Speaker 6: or you're gonna end up trading away too many assets

275
00:11:11,068 --> 00:11:13,188
Speaker 6: to go get somebody else's backup quarterback.

276
00:11:13,308 --> 00:11:18,108
Speaker 9: The NFC East is loaded with quarterback talent Dak Prescott,

277
00:11:18,628 --> 00:11:22,628
Speaker 9: Jaden Daniels, Jalen Hurts. Getting an opportunity for New York

278
00:11:22,708 --> 00:11:27,748
Speaker 9: to bring in a star studded quarterback is essential. Back

279
00:11:27,748 --> 00:11:30,548
Speaker 9: in twenty two, we had a playoff run where we

280
00:11:30,788 --> 00:11:31,748
Speaker 9: made it to the playoffs.

281
00:11:31,748 --> 00:11:34,268
Speaker 8: Back when I was with the New York Giants.

282
00:11:34,588 --> 00:11:39,628
Speaker 9: Playoff victory in Minnesota and the Big Apple celebrities are

283
00:11:39,708 --> 00:11:45,428
Speaker 9: treated phenomenal. The Sanders family would ignite the city even

284
00:11:45,468 --> 00:11:49,108
Speaker 9: more so the New York Giants draft Shaduur Sanders.

285
00:11:49,308 --> 00:11:51,388
Speaker 3: While we're talking the Giants, let's just stay in the

286
00:11:51,428 --> 00:11:54,668
Speaker 3: division there because and New York hang with me a second,

287
00:11:54,748 --> 00:11:56,588
Speaker 3: taking knee out there for a second, because I'm sitting

288
00:11:56,588 --> 00:11:58,428
Speaker 3: here with a bunch of cowboys. So if you thought

289
00:11:58,468 --> 00:12:00,228
Speaker 3: we weren't going to get to the cowboys, and some

290
00:12:00,348 --> 00:12:03,748
Speaker 3: Dallas talk that you are mistaken, We'll start with you

291
00:12:03,748 --> 00:12:06,508
Speaker 3: because we've been picked. Isaiah's brain here for a while now, Jailen,

292
00:12:06,788 --> 00:12:08,908
Speaker 3: you're the fresh take on this. Give us your thoughts

293
00:12:08,908 --> 00:12:11,988
Speaker 3: on the Cowboys offseason. Is this the year we see

294
00:12:12,028 --> 00:12:13,188
Speaker 3: a different Dallas team?

295
00:12:13,508 --> 00:12:16,908
Speaker 9: So back in twenty sixteen when I was drafted, I

296
00:12:16,948 --> 00:12:20,788
Speaker 9: was drafted second round. Dak was drafted in the same class,

297
00:12:21,028 --> 00:12:25,828
Speaker 9: but our number four overall pick was Ezekiel Elliott, a

298
00:12:25,908 --> 00:12:30,828
Speaker 9: running back. Dallas Cowboys needs a running back. Jerry Jones

299
00:12:31,388 --> 00:12:34,868
Speaker 9: and the Jones family and the Dallas Cowboys they love

300
00:12:35,628 --> 00:12:39,628
Speaker 9: Boise State talent. I played with Kellen Moore who was

301
00:12:39,668 --> 00:12:43,108
Speaker 9: the quarterback at Boise State, and I was coached by

302
00:12:43,188 --> 00:12:47,268
Speaker 9: him as the offensive coordinator in Dallas. Leyden vander esh

303
00:12:47,748 --> 00:12:53,188
Speaker 9: was a Boise State player. DeMarcus Lawrence, Tyrone Crawford. There's

304
00:12:53,268 --> 00:12:57,108
Speaker 9: some Boise State connection, and I think Dallas is ready

305
00:12:57,148 --> 00:13:00,148
Speaker 9: to make a real push come draft night.

306
00:13:00,508 --> 00:13:02,468
Speaker 6: Listen, we talked about it earlier in the week. The

307
00:13:02,548 --> 00:13:05,228
Speaker 6: Dallas Cowboys are being Vinny Betty sneaky. Now, okay, they're

308
00:13:05,268 --> 00:13:08,188
Speaker 6: channeling their inner mister Deeds. If you guys remember that

309
00:13:08,268 --> 00:13:10,588
Speaker 6: vine VEDI sneaky, sad. And the reason why I say

310
00:13:10,628 --> 00:13:13,628
Speaker 6: that is because they have invested.

311
00:13:13,268 --> 00:13:14,748
Speaker 8: In their line right.

312
00:13:14,788 --> 00:13:17,308
Speaker 7: They went out and got one.

313
00:13:17,228 --> 00:13:19,068
Speaker 6: Heck of a coach from the New York Jets on

314
00:13:19,108 --> 00:13:20,988
Speaker 6: a defensive front right considered to be the best D

315
00:13:21,028 --> 00:13:23,308
Speaker 6: line coach in the league. They got the best offensive

316
00:13:23,308 --> 00:13:26,388
Speaker 6: line coach in the league, stole him, Clayton Adams out

317
00:13:26,388 --> 00:13:26,988
Speaker 6: of Arizona.

318
00:13:27,028 --> 00:13:28,268
Speaker 7: He's now your offensive coordinator.

319
00:13:28,308 --> 00:13:30,148
Speaker 6: They went out to college, the Kansas State and got

320
00:13:30,188 --> 00:13:32,268
Speaker 6: the best old line coach out of college. So they

321
00:13:32,388 --> 00:13:35,348
Speaker 6: have the best old line coach in the NFL, and

322
00:13:35,388 --> 00:13:37,308
Speaker 6: in college they have the best D line coach from

323
00:13:37,308 --> 00:13:39,548
Speaker 6: the Jets, and they are focusing in on the trenches.

324
00:13:39,708 --> 00:13:41,748
Speaker 6: What else have the Cowboys done? They have created a

325
00:13:41,748 --> 00:13:45,548
Speaker 6: ton of cap space, right. They restructured everybody's contract. They

326
00:13:45,588 --> 00:13:48,828
Speaker 6: started moving money around, and everybody is pretty much saying, well, yeah,

327
00:13:48,868 --> 00:13:51,388
Speaker 6: they have to move money around, they have to sign Micah. Yeah,

328
00:13:51,388 --> 00:13:53,588
Speaker 6: but when you signed Micah there could be a lot

329
00:13:53,628 --> 00:13:56,468
Speaker 6: of guaranteed money, and guaranteed money's not hurting your cap.

330
00:13:56,708 --> 00:13:59,268
Speaker 7: So why are you creating this space? Well, let's look

331
00:13:59,268 --> 00:13:59,468
Speaker 7: at it.

332
00:13:59,548 --> 00:14:01,668
Speaker 6: You have one of the highest paced receivers in the

333
00:14:01,748 --> 00:14:02,988
Speaker 6: league in Cdee Lamb.

334
00:14:03,108 --> 00:14:04,308
Speaker 8: Who is there assisting him?

335
00:14:04,628 --> 00:14:05,588
Speaker 7: Who's your number two?

336
00:14:05,908 --> 00:14:08,748
Speaker 6: You've lost all your number twos right, there's no more

337
00:14:08,868 --> 00:14:09,468
Speaker 6: number two.

338
00:14:09,588 --> 00:14:11,628
Speaker 7: So you have to go out there and get a guy.

339
00:14:11,908 --> 00:14:13,308
Speaker 7: I believe that the Dallas.

340
00:14:12,948 --> 00:14:16,788
Speaker 6: Cowboys are positioning themselves for a big boy trade coming

341
00:14:16,868 --> 00:14:18,428
Speaker 6: up in this year's draft. I think they're going to

342
00:14:18,508 --> 00:14:20,948
Speaker 6: draft the receiver, and I also think that they're going

343
00:14:20,988 --> 00:14:23,428
Speaker 6: to trade for a big time receiver that's not going

344
00:14:23,468 --> 00:14:24,988
Speaker 6: to be a question mark, that's not going to be

345
00:14:25,028 --> 00:14:27,028
Speaker 6: a developmental piece, that's not going to be somebody that

346
00:14:27,068 --> 00:14:28,428
Speaker 6: they hope to fans out.

347
00:14:28,588 --> 00:14:30,428
Speaker 7: They've done that, they've been there, they've done it.

348
00:14:30,468 --> 00:14:32,508
Speaker 6: They need somebody to come in and be an impact

349
00:14:32,508 --> 00:14:33,468
Speaker 6: player across from CD.

350
00:14:33,788 --> 00:14:35,388
Speaker 7: I think they have something in store.

351
00:14:35,828 --> 00:14:36,068
Speaker 4: Yeah.

352
00:14:36,108 --> 00:14:39,348
Speaker 5: The Cowboys right now are looking about making things better

353
00:14:39,388 --> 00:14:42,268
Speaker 5: in the trenches, playing more physical. This is what Brian

354
00:14:42,308 --> 00:14:44,588
Speaker 5: Schottenheimer is about. They want to make sure that they

355
00:14:44,668 --> 00:14:47,188
Speaker 5: brought Clayton Adams over as a new offensive coordinator, a guy.

356
00:14:47,068 --> 00:14:48,588
Speaker 4: Who is strong in the run game.

357
00:14:48,668 --> 00:14:50,188
Speaker 5: I think everything that you're going to see in the

358
00:14:50,228 --> 00:14:52,148
Speaker 5: draft is going to be strengthening the trenches. They have

359
00:14:52,388 --> 00:14:55,428
Speaker 5: done that this offseason. They added Sadiq Charles, who's a

360
00:14:55,428 --> 00:14:57,428
Speaker 5: former starter in the league and was going to be

361
00:14:57,428 --> 00:14:59,628
Speaker 5: a starter for the Titans before he up and retired

362
00:14:59,668 --> 00:15:01,908
Speaker 5: a year ago and now back in the league, worked

363
00:15:01,908 --> 00:15:03,788
Speaker 5: out for the Cowboys, brought him back. I'm just looking

364
00:15:03,828 --> 00:15:06,308
Speaker 5: at this Cowboy team is going back to what we're

365
00:15:06,428 --> 00:15:09,188
Speaker 5: used to seeing with the Cowboys, which is that presence

366
00:15:09,188 --> 00:15:11,188
Speaker 5: in the trenches and building things through the running game.

367
00:15:11,348 --> 00:15:13,588
Speaker 10: I mean, listen, is this the most boring time for

368
00:15:13,628 --> 00:15:16,228
Speaker 10: the Cowboys in twenty years? What do we got today?

369
00:15:16,828 --> 00:15:19,228
Speaker 10: Maybe it's good, you know what, Mike, Maybe it's good.

370
00:15:19,348 --> 00:15:21,948
Speaker 10: We can talk all day about trenches and O line coaches.

371
00:15:21,988 --> 00:15:23,828
Speaker 10: This is America's team. What the hell are we doing

372
00:15:24,628 --> 00:15:28,028
Speaker 10: there at the third, maybe fourth, most interesting shiny object

373
00:15:28,028 --> 00:15:30,548
Speaker 10: in the NFC East. Even when the Cowboys are faulted,

374
00:15:30,548 --> 00:15:32,628
Speaker 10: and they always are, and even when they have tough years,

375
00:15:32,708 --> 00:15:35,428
Speaker 10: they usually got a little more punch, a little more pizazz.

376
00:15:35,508 --> 00:15:37,788
Speaker 2: And yet I'm going to turn into a positive Mike.

377
00:15:37,828 --> 00:15:41,108
Speaker 10: You're right, Maybe it is not about selling jerseys for

378
00:15:41,188 --> 00:15:43,548
Speaker 10: ten seconds, and we'll bring in new O line coaches.

379
00:15:43,788 --> 00:15:44,748
Speaker 7: Maybe we'll draft a.

380
00:15:44,788 --> 00:15:47,868
Speaker 10: Guard at twelve, and you do something practical, because over

381
00:15:47,868 --> 00:15:50,988
Speaker 10: in the AFC we got the Raiders doing really sensible

382
00:15:51,028 --> 00:15:53,508
Speaker 10: things like bringing in Pete Carroll and Gino Smith, and

383
00:15:53,548 --> 00:15:56,028
Speaker 10: not just lighting their hair on fire and throwing parties.

384
00:15:56,228 --> 00:15:58,948
Speaker 2: So maybe, just maybe this will work.

385
00:15:58,868 --> 00:16:01,428
Speaker 10: Because it may be good because I am bored as

386
00:16:01,428 --> 00:16:03,428
Speaker 10: hell talking about the Cowboys, right, and I haven't said

387
00:16:03,428 --> 00:16:04,148
Speaker 10: that a long time.

388
00:16:04,188 --> 00:16:05,188
Speaker 2: But maybe it'll work out.

389
00:16:05,348 --> 00:16:08,108
Speaker 3: Or maybe Isaiah's right and the big trades are coming.

390
00:16:08,428 --> 00:16:09,668
Speaker 4: Or or we'll just go back.

391
00:16:09,748 --> 00:16:10,868
Speaker 3: We'll just go back to the good old days and

392
00:16:10,908 --> 00:16:13,788
Speaker 3: we'll reminisce about Jalen's draft class of Ezekiel, Elliott and

393
00:16:14,188 --> 00:16:18,508

Speaker 3: So we've been doing a lot of reminiscing. If you

Speaker 2: Like for you.

430
00:17:56,628 --> 00:17:58,588
Speaker 14: I would just say it was a really good experience.

431
00:17:58,908 --> 00:18:00,428
Speaker 14: I had a lot of people that supported me, a

432
00:18:00,468 --> 00:18:03,068
Speaker 14: lot of people close to me at my grandma's house

433
00:18:03,068 --> 00:18:05,828
Speaker 14: that day. So I was sitting there waiting on the call.

434
00:18:06,028 --> 00:18:07,748
Speaker 14: I've seen the area code. I seen it was LA

435
00:18:07,908 --> 00:18:09,908
Speaker 14: and I couldn't be more excited to be out here.

436
00:18:10,028 --> 00:18:10,508
Speaker 7: That's dope.

437
00:18:10,548 --> 00:18:12,748
Speaker 6: Hey, all right, so you gotta take us into the

438
00:18:12,788 --> 00:18:14,388
Speaker 6: helmet man, all right, we need we need, we need

439
00:18:14,388 --> 00:18:16,828
Speaker 6: the old gold pro helmet vision of this. You have

440
00:18:16,948 --> 00:18:19,348
Speaker 6: four interceptions of your rookie season. Two of them were

441
00:18:19,348 --> 00:18:22,868
Speaker 6: against the dirty birds, all right, including your first pick six.

442
00:18:22,988 --> 00:18:25,028
Speaker 7: Now take us into the moment. How to go down?

443
00:18:25,068 --> 00:18:25,588
Speaker 7: How you see it?

444
00:18:25,588 --> 00:18:27,348
Speaker 6: I saw the mouth, he's hanging out. We didn't know

445
00:18:27,388 --> 00:18:28,628
Speaker 6: exactly what well how to win down?

446
00:18:29,068 --> 00:18:31,828
Speaker 14: So the first one, I would say, okay, So it

447
00:18:31,868 --> 00:18:35,108
Speaker 14: started with Christian started backside. He alerted the formation. So

448
00:18:35,308 --> 00:18:37,588
Speaker 14: something that we've seen all week. He alerted the formation.

449
00:18:38,028 --> 00:18:40,748
Speaker 14: He talked to the post safety Elijah Moulden. He alerted

450
00:18:40,748 --> 00:18:43,668
Speaker 14: it to me. So now we're our intenders are up.

451
00:18:43,668 --> 00:18:45,868
Speaker 14: We're seeing what's going on. Boss snaps and we get

452
00:18:45,908 --> 00:18:48,788
Speaker 14: what we think we're gonna get. So he says, push push,

453
00:18:48,828 --> 00:18:51,628
Speaker 14: I dropped the route. I fall off. He double clutches,

454
00:18:51,668 --> 00:18:54,108
Speaker 14: throws it. I catch it. And then the second one,

455
00:18:54,148 --> 00:18:56,908
Speaker 14: that's a great call by coach Minner. We showed Blitz.

456
00:18:57,468 --> 00:18:59,668
Speaker 14: I think it was fourth down actually, so we show Blitz,

457
00:18:59,708 --> 00:19:02,308
Speaker 14: show pressure drop out of it laid to a cover two.

458
00:19:02,348 --> 00:19:03,548
Speaker 8: Look, Kurt didn't really.

459
00:19:03,428 --> 00:19:05,068
Speaker 7: Know what was going to happen. Yeah, he threw the

460
00:19:05,068 --> 00:19:06,708
Speaker 7: ball sit me to the house, So y'all hit him

461
00:19:06,708 --> 00:19:06,908
Speaker 7: with the.

462
00:19:09,468 --> 00:19:12,428
Speaker 5: Little love for Chargers defensive coordinator Jesse Minter right there.

463
00:19:12,428 --> 00:19:13,468
Speaker 4: I love that tar heap.

464
00:19:13,748 --> 00:19:15,308
Speaker 5: They asked us before the show, would you like to

465
00:19:15,308 --> 00:19:17,628
Speaker 5: hear some Jim Harball sound and we said yes. The

466
00:19:17,708 --> 00:19:21,188
Speaker 5: answer is always yes. Here he is talking about you

467
00:19:21,388 --> 00:19:22,628
Speaker 5: and his assessment of your game.

468
00:19:22,988 --> 00:19:25,108
Speaker 15: The thing impresses me the most is how locked in

469
00:19:25,148 --> 00:19:27,028
Speaker 15: he is for you know, a young player. I mean

470
00:19:27,508 --> 00:19:29,788
Speaker 15: they can they can get a little drifty, you know,

471
00:19:29,948 --> 00:19:32,988
Speaker 15: just in their in their in their preparation and you

472
00:19:33,028 --> 00:19:35,068
Speaker 15: know as the season goes on. But he has been

473
00:19:35,788 --> 00:19:38,348
Speaker 15: his has been locked in. Cool as the other side

474
00:19:38,388 --> 00:19:42,748
Speaker 15: of the pill. Stuart Scott used to say.

475
00:19:41,708 --> 00:19:45,788
Speaker 4: Yes, yeah, you remember Stuart Scott.

476
00:19:46,348 --> 00:19:48,188
Speaker 5: I don't think you saw him back on Sports Center

477
00:19:48,388 --> 00:19:49,508
Speaker 5: when you were two years old.

478
00:19:50,148 --> 00:19:51,908
Speaker 4: But listen you hear that.

479
00:19:52,028 --> 00:19:53,188
Speaker 2: How does that make you feel?

480
00:19:53,668 --> 00:19:55,828
Speaker 5: Knowing that Jim Harball loves the way that you're not

481
00:19:56,028 --> 00:19:58,028
Speaker 5: drifty and you are locked in, You're not hitting that

482
00:19:58,108 --> 00:19:58,588
Speaker 5: rookie wall.

483
00:19:58,868 --> 00:20:00,028
Speaker 8: It really makes me feel good.

484
00:20:00,348 --> 00:20:02,908
Speaker 14: Knowing that I'm bringing something to productive to the team

485
00:20:02,948 --> 00:20:04,228
Speaker 14: and also helped.

486
00:20:04,508 --> 00:20:05,108
Speaker 8: To win games.

487
00:20:05,108 --> 00:20:06,708
Speaker 7: But coach Hardball's my guy.

488
00:20:07,028 --> 00:20:08,708
Speaker 14: I have a lot of conversations with him, allowed to

489
00:20:08,708 --> 00:20:11,748
Speaker 14: talks with him, and it's just really about staying the course,

490
00:20:11,788 --> 00:20:14,708
Speaker 14: staying locked in, and taking advantage of your opportunity. So

491
00:20:14,908 --> 00:20:17,028
Speaker 14: I really just try to do that, try to follow

492
00:20:17,068 --> 00:20:19,148
Speaker 14: the older guys in the team, the veterans, and really

493
00:20:19,188 --> 00:20:20,308
Speaker 14: just put my head down to work.

494
00:20:20,668 --> 00:20:22,708
Speaker 10: All Right, you got You're taking us right where we

495
00:20:22,748 --> 00:20:26,108
Speaker 10: want to go. Conversations with Harbaugh now, he is one

496
00:20:26,108 --> 00:20:28,388
Speaker 10: of the best coaches on any level in any sport.

497
00:20:28,748 --> 00:20:31,628
Speaker 10: Year one shows up, you guys playoffs. He's an amazing coach.

498
00:20:32,148 --> 00:20:36,828
Speaker 10: That is a different dude, a unique, unique man in

499
00:20:36,868 --> 00:20:40,068
Speaker 10: his communications and his methods. All of that take us

500
00:20:40,108 --> 00:20:42,548
Speaker 10: into some conversations with Harba. Do you remember a time

501
00:20:42,548 --> 00:20:45,148
Speaker 10: when he says something and you were like, huh, well,

502
00:20:45,188 --> 00:20:47,348
Speaker 10: that's different, Like I've never heard that from anybody before,

503
00:20:47,428 --> 00:20:48,068
Speaker 10: let alone a coach.

504
00:20:48,108 --> 00:20:48,748
Speaker 8: Tell us about this.

505
00:20:49,228 --> 00:20:51,028
Speaker 14: There's a lot of moments like that, I would say,

506
00:20:51,348 --> 00:20:53,708
Speaker 14: whether it's in the team meeting, whether it's talking to

507
00:20:53,748 --> 00:20:56,868
Speaker 14: him in the hallway, on the field, anything. But he

508
00:20:57,108 --> 00:20:59,068
Speaker 14: told this one story one time where he talked about

509
00:20:59,548 --> 00:21:01,748
Speaker 14: he always wanted the same thing for breakfast every day,

510
00:21:02,188 --> 00:21:04,108
Speaker 14: and his dad basically, like to some of the story

511
00:21:04,148 --> 00:21:07,468
Speaker 14: of his bad his dad basically said, like, don't settle

512
00:21:07,588 --> 00:21:10,588
Speaker 14: for less because what he wanted for breakfast wasn't really

513
00:21:10,948 --> 00:21:13,588
Speaker 14: that good or wasn't really to him, it wasn't really

514
00:21:13,628 --> 00:21:16,268
Speaker 14: that appealing, but really just saying like, there's more out

515
00:21:16,268 --> 00:21:18,788
Speaker 14: there to get, so don't really settle. But I feel

516
00:21:18,788 --> 00:21:21,588
Speaker 14: like everything he says, all his stories or anything he

517
00:21:21,628 --> 00:21:24,468
Speaker 14: talks about, there's always a hitting meanings or there's always

518
00:21:24,468 --> 00:21:27,508
Speaker 14: a lesson in it. So I would just say when

519
00:21:27,508 --> 00:21:29,988
Speaker 14: he talks, everybody really listens and really thinks about what

520
00:21:30,028 --> 00:21:32,068
Speaker 14: he says, and they really take it and try to

521
00:21:32,108 --> 00:21:32,548
Speaker 14: apply it.

522
00:21:32,868 --> 00:21:36,628
Speaker 9: So when training camp comes around, obviously you're in La

523
00:21:37,188 --> 00:21:40,788
Speaker 9: wonderful weather. What's that experience like when you're in the

524
00:21:40,828 --> 00:21:45,228
Speaker 9: grind of training camp and you get an opportunity to

525
00:21:45,308 --> 00:21:49,348
Speaker 9: pick off justin Herbert in practice, tell us about that experience.

526
00:21:49,388 --> 00:21:52,748
Speaker 9: Has that happened, has it been closed? What's that like?

527
00:21:53,468 --> 00:21:56,148
Speaker 14: I would just say, Justice's ultra competitor, That's my god.

528
00:21:56,348 --> 00:21:58,108
Speaker 14: I love him to death. I would say that first.

529
00:21:58,148 --> 00:22:01,308
Speaker 14: But to clear that up, it only happened a couple

530
00:22:01,348 --> 00:22:02,508
Speaker 14: of times, so I can't say.

531
00:22:02,308 --> 00:22:03,468
Speaker 2: It happened too many times.

532
00:22:03,748 --> 00:22:07,628
Speaker 14: A couple look, but I can't say it been something

533
00:22:07,668 --> 00:22:09,788
Speaker 14: that's just like, oh, it happens all the time because

534
00:22:09,828 --> 00:22:10,948
Speaker 14: he's super elite.

535
00:22:11,068 --> 00:22:12,068
Speaker 7: So I would just.

536
00:22:12,068 --> 00:22:13,748
Speaker 8: Say it was a good moment.

537
00:22:13,828 --> 00:22:15,468
Speaker 14: The first time I did it, it was really fun,

538
00:22:15,548 --> 00:22:18,388
Speaker 14: like competing and going against him just as ultra competitor.

539
00:22:18,468 --> 00:22:19,868
Speaker 7: So you try not to smile.

540
00:22:23,268 --> 00:22:25,188
Speaker 3: Just a couple of times, just a couple of times.

541
00:22:25,588 --> 00:22:27,788
Speaker 3: Derwin James said his favorite thing about you is your

542
00:22:27,788 --> 00:22:31,108
Speaker 3: swag and your energy. I don't even know if the

545
00:22:35,468 --> 00:22:36,308
Speaker 3: the camera's not doing it.

546
00:22:36,348 --> 00:22:38,348
Speaker 2: Does it's got to like bling a little bit. It's

547
00:22:38,348 --> 00:22:39,348
Speaker 2: blinging in studio.

549

Speaker 3: swag that you bring. I mean, not everyone can rock

550
00:22:43,988 --> 00:22:44,948
Speaker 3: a sequence hoodie.

551
00:22:45,508 --> 00:22:47,708
Speaker 14: I would just say, my swag and my style is

552
00:22:47,788 --> 00:22:50,948
Speaker 14: kind of different. There's a lot of great stores out

553
00:22:50,988 --> 00:22:53,828
Speaker 14: here in the LA to shop at, but I just

554
00:22:53,868 --> 00:22:57,548
Speaker 14: try to, you know, bring something different to it. See

555
00:22:57,548 --> 00:23:00,188
Speaker 14: what I like in the store or what I like online.

556
00:22:59,868 --> 00:23:03,108
Speaker 8: Know where he's from as love right fashion fashion?

557
00:23:04,508 --> 00:23:04,788
Speaker 7: All right?

558
00:23:04,828 --> 00:23:07,108
Speaker 6: So, hey, word on the street is that your favorite

559
00:23:07,148 --> 00:23:10,348
Speaker 6: non football player is Lebron James, Right, King James himself.

560
00:23:10,428 --> 00:23:11,668
Speaker 7: I got a two part question for you.

561
00:23:11,988 --> 00:23:15,508
Speaker 6: If King James was playing football in NFL, what position

562
00:23:15,548 --> 00:23:17,508
Speaker 6: would be playing? And what is it that you love

563
00:23:17,548 --> 00:23:18,348
Speaker 6: about him so much?

564
00:23:18,508 --> 00:23:20,268
Speaker 14: If he was playing football in the NFL, he would

565
00:23:20,268 --> 00:23:22,908
Speaker 14: definitely play tight end probably or like edge rusher if

566
00:23:22,948 --> 00:23:24,788
Speaker 14: he was like a defensive guy, all right, And then

567
00:23:24,788 --> 00:23:27,948
Speaker 14: what I like about him is like he shows how

568
00:23:27,948 --> 00:23:31,548
Speaker 14: to really be consistent at a high level year and

569
00:23:31,628 --> 00:23:33,468
Speaker 14: year and year again. He's been doing it for almost

570
00:23:33,468 --> 00:23:35,108
Speaker 14: as long as I've been alive in twenty two. He's

571
00:23:35,108 --> 00:23:38,228
Speaker 14: been playing basketball for like twenty years. And also really

572
00:23:38,268 --> 00:23:40,388
Speaker 14: how to take care of your body, like the little stuff,

573
00:23:40,388 --> 00:23:42,628
Speaker 14: the stuff that matters. So I would just say he's

574
00:23:42,628 --> 00:23:45,868
Speaker 14: a great role model for the younger kids. He's even

575
00:23:45,868 --> 00:23:48,228
Speaker 14: a great model for me, even though I didn't play basketball.

576
00:23:48,508 --> 00:23:50,028
Speaker 14: Just showing how to do it at a high level

577
00:23:50,068 --> 00:23:50,988
Speaker 14: over and over again.

578
00:23:51,148 --> 00:23:51,748
Speaker 8: He's a winner.

579
00:23:52,508 --> 00:23:54,428
Speaker 3: Well, we appreciate you stopping by the studio day. If

580
00:23:54,468 --> 00:23:57,348
Speaker 3: you want, you can leave that specsher behind. I'm just

581
00:23:57,428 --> 00:23:58,748
Speaker 3: leaving it up in a lot from someone will take

582
00:23:58,748 --> 00:23:59,228
Speaker 3: care of that for you.

583
00:23:59,308 --> 00:23:59,948

592
00:24:25,068 --> 00:24:27,468
Speaker 10: the ball he produces. Don't give him the ball. He

593
00:24:27,588 --> 00:24:30,028
Speaker 10: is the best blocking running back in the country.

594
00:24:30,108 --> 00:24:30,548
Speaker 7: Right now.

595
00:24:30,588 --> 00:24:33,988

Speaker 10: There are runners and then there are angry runners. This

603
00:24:46,308 --> 00:24:49,068
Speaker 10: is something called the scepter. I know that's strange. It's

604
00:24:49,108 --> 00:24:51,388
Speaker 10: a little out there, but it is something that has

605
00:24:51,428 --> 00:24:54,508
Speaker 10: gone to Derrick Henry, Saquon Barkley, all these other running

606
00:24:54,508 --> 00:24:57,308
Speaker 10: backs the NFL. For whoever is the most pissed off

607
00:24:57,348 --> 00:25:00,868
Speaker 10: with the football I've seen the tape, TAJ you run real,

608

00:25:04,908 --> 00:25:06,628
Speaker 10: you coming for this once you get to Sunday?

610
00:25:06,868 --> 00:25:09,908
Speaker 16: Definitely, that's something I'm chasing every game. Something I have

611
00:25:09,948 --> 00:25:12,348
Speaker 16: an opportunity to chase it each and every game. And

612
00:25:12,348 --> 00:25:14,388
Speaker 16: then my run style, man, it just comes from just

613
00:25:14,868 --> 00:25:16,908
Speaker 16: my talent and then just where I came from. I

614
00:25:16,948 --> 00:25:18,988
Speaker 16: came from Austin, Texas, where a lot of guys that

615
00:25:19,028 --> 00:25:20,508
Speaker 16: I also don't make it to the next level, and

616
00:25:20,508 --> 00:25:21,828
Speaker 16: I'm trying to be the next great one.

617
00:25:21,988 --> 00:25:22,348
Speaker 7: I'm mad.

618
00:25:23,428 --> 00:25:25,868
Speaker 9: The biggest thing I want to ask, is it tas

619
00:25:25,908 --> 00:25:28,988
Speaker 9: when you talk about your dream, is finna come true?

620
00:25:29,188 --> 00:25:32,788
Speaker 9: You're so close man, thirteen days away. Talk to us

621
00:25:32,828 --> 00:25:35,068
Speaker 9: about what's the one thing that you want them to

622
00:25:35,108 --> 00:25:37,948
Speaker 9: know about you to make it known that you're the

623
00:25:38,028 --> 00:25:39,468
Speaker 9: right guy for them to draft.

624
00:25:39,628 --> 00:25:41,988
Speaker 11: I think, man, I'm very consistent. And then another thing,

625
00:25:42,108 --> 00:25:43,188

Speaker 16: especially just watching my tape of things. I can catch

628
00:25:48,268 --> 00:25:51,868
Speaker 16: the ball backfield very well. I have violent hands and

629
00:25:51,908 --> 00:25:54,388
Speaker 16: passed bro and I can have explosive runs when.

630
00:25:54,228 --> 00:25:55,068
Speaker 7: That time needed to be.

631
00:25:55,308 --> 00:25:59,348
Speaker 16: So I feel like just every down back is just

632
00:25:59,388 --> 00:26:01,228
Speaker 16: a futil part of myself.

633
00:26:01,348 --> 00:26:03,868
Speaker 3: Tis this is crazy. You rush for over one hundred

634
00:26:03,948 --> 00:26:07,148
Speaker 3: yards in every game you played in last season, So

635
00:26:07,468 --> 00:26:10,308
Speaker 3: at some point, you know we're in game two, game three,

636
00:26:10,468 --> 00:26:13,268
Speaker 3: game four. Now we're on a streak, right, So at

637
00:26:13,268 --> 00:26:16,788
Speaker 3: what point do you start thinking about that and do

638
00:26:16,828 --> 00:26:19,588
Speaker 3: you start getting superstitious? Take us through what that entire

639
00:26:19,708 --> 00:26:20,268
Speaker 3: run was like.

640
00:26:20,668 --> 00:26:22,868
Speaker 16: Definitely, I would say, just like how you said, I

641
00:26:22,908 --> 00:26:25,548
Speaker 16: had one hundred yards in each game, which which was

642
00:26:25,588 --> 00:26:27,748
Speaker 16: a blessing just because sitting my teammates and things.

643
00:26:27,788 --> 00:26:29,068
Speaker 11: But man, it's really when I.

644
00:26:28,988 --> 00:26:31,148
Speaker 16: Get hot, but like once the ball touching my hands,

645
00:26:31,188 --> 00:26:33,188
Speaker 16: I'm very explosive that way, I know that I can

646
00:26:33,468 --> 00:26:35,148
Speaker 16: change the game, you know what I mean. And then

647
00:26:35,268 --> 00:26:37,468
Speaker 16: just and then I was chasing something last year, I

648
00:26:37,508 --> 00:26:40,788
Speaker 16: was chasing a Russian record, which I broke my school's

649
00:26:40,868 --> 00:26:43,508
Speaker 16: Russian record on the top of the Kingdom now and

650
00:26:43,588 --> 00:26:45,628
Speaker 16: it was just something I was chasing within my teammates

651
00:26:45,628 --> 00:26:47,148
Speaker 16: and me and just knowing that I can do it

652
00:26:47,148 --> 00:26:47,868
Speaker 16: at a high level.

653
00:26:47,908 --> 00:26:48,908
Speaker 11: It was very chasing it.

654
00:26:49,228 --> 00:26:51,588
Speaker 7: Man, Taj I had the opportunity of calling the East.

655
00:26:51,348 --> 00:26:53,588
Speaker 6: West Shrine game this year, and I had a chance

656
00:26:53,588 --> 00:26:55,708
Speaker 6: to see you practice. First of all, I would never

657
00:26:55,708 --> 00:26:57,228
Speaker 6: get in your way because I've seen the size of

658
00:26:57,228 --> 00:26:58,508
Speaker 6: your leg, So Jayla.

659
00:26:58,308 --> 00:26:59,788
Speaker 7: I don't know if you want to smoke with that one.

660
00:26:59,948 --> 00:27:03,388
Speaker 6: However, usually on the other side of your runs, you

661
00:27:03,548 --> 00:27:05,708
Speaker 6: end up in the end zone. At Texas Tech, you

662
00:27:05,748 --> 00:27:08,788
Speaker 6: had this thing called Tage Time that was your celebration dance.

663
00:27:09,028 --> 00:27:11,268
Speaker 6: I need to know how did that come about and

664
00:27:11,308 --> 00:27:12,988
Speaker 6: do you plan on bringing that to the league.

665
00:27:13,548 --> 00:27:13,988
Speaker 11: Definitely?

666
00:27:14,188 --> 00:27:17,508
Speaker 16: So, man, the Tas Time celebration. Every time I score touchdown,

667
00:27:17,708 --> 00:27:20,788
Speaker 16: I point to my wrists and I just touched my Yeah, there,

668
00:27:21,668 --> 00:27:22,708
Speaker 16: that's the game.

669
00:27:23,268 --> 00:27:24,748
Speaker 11: So man, it was I want to say it was

670
00:27:24,828 --> 00:27:28,068
Speaker 11: my sophomore year. I scored like a sixty yard.

671
00:27:27,908 --> 00:27:29,828
Speaker 16: Touchdown or something like that, and then I pointed to

672
00:27:29,868 --> 00:27:32,668
Speaker 16: my wrist and then announcer said it's Brooks time, and

673
00:27:32,708 --> 00:27:35,268
Speaker 16: then the brook pomb turned into Ta's time, and then

674
00:27:35,308 --> 00:27:37,108
Speaker 16: that's how I really just stuck with me and I'm

675
00:27:37,108 --> 00:27:37,988
Speaker 16: definitely bringing.

676
00:27:37,708 --> 00:27:39,828
Speaker 11: That to the league. So I can't wait for that one.

677
00:27:39,988 --> 00:27:42,908
Speaker 5: Oh yeah, but can we go back control room. I'm

678
00:27:42,948 --> 00:27:44,268
Speaker 5: sorry to do this thing. Can we go back to

679
00:27:44,308 --> 00:27:47,828
Speaker 5: the b roll. We just had the previous question because the.

680
00:27:48,108 --> 00:27:50,268
Speaker 2: Mike there we go ty was great.

681
00:27:50,388 --> 00:27:53,308
Speaker 4: But I love the high five going into the end zone.

682
00:27:53,308 --> 00:27:54,028
Speaker 4: Who was that you were?

683
00:27:54,388 --> 00:27:55,828
Speaker 5: Was that planned or is that just spur of the

684
00:27:55,868 --> 00:27:56,388
Speaker 5: moment there?

685
00:27:56,508 --> 00:27:58,228
Speaker 11: It's crazy, man, it wasn't being.

686
00:28:00,748 --> 00:28:03,068
Speaker 7: Uh, it was not playing something.

687
00:28:03,068 --> 00:28:05,468
Speaker 16: That was just like, okay, we open, it's open field,

688
00:28:05,508 --> 00:28:06,388
Speaker 16: nobody's behind us.

689
00:28:06,428 --> 00:28:08,428
Speaker 11: Man, I'm gonna just have over And it was just

690
00:28:08,588 --> 00:28:09,628
Speaker 11: just turned to a big moment.

691
00:28:09,668 --> 00:28:11,668
Speaker 4: So yeah, that's great.

692
00:28:11,708 --> 00:28:13,708
Speaker 5: You can't give you can't give the peace sign or

693
00:28:13,708 --> 00:28:15,228
Speaker 5: anything like that, like that's can't do anything.

694
00:28:15,508 --> 00:28:17,348
Speaker 4: But you can high five a team in the NFL

695
00:28:17,348 --> 00:28:18,308

Speaker 5: told you and the guys around.

700
00:28:29,908 --> 00:28:33,028
Speaker 16: You really just focused on being in the moment, controller

701
00:28:33,068 --> 00:28:35,028
Speaker 16: what you can control, and then every time you step

Speaker 16: a guy off the field, that's just in the community,

705
00:28:43,268 --> 00:28:45,668
Speaker 16: things like that. So that's a great guy. That's a

Speaker 7: I'll tell you why.

711
00:28:55,388 --> 00:28:57,708
Speaker 10: You're not only an angry runner, you don't only block,

712
00:28:57,788 --> 00:29:01,468
Speaker 10: You're a completely versatile football player. You are a first

713
00:29:01,628 --> 00:29:05,348
Speaker 10: team academic All American, which is an incredible thing you

714
00:29:05,348 --> 00:29:05,788
Speaker 10: should be.

715
00:29:05,828 --> 00:29:07,428
Speaker 8: Very proud of. We're all impressed by it.

716
00:29:07,908 --> 00:29:10,188
Speaker 10: What's your favorite school subject and what's also the one

717
00:29:10,188 --> 00:29:11,828
Speaker 10: that gives you the most trouble man?

718
00:29:12,348 --> 00:29:16,028
Speaker 16: To be honest, I really I love school was just

719
00:29:16,108 --> 00:29:17,228
Speaker 16: like something I did just.

720
00:29:17,188 --> 00:29:18,948
Speaker 11: Because I wanted to play football at high level.

721
00:29:19,508 --> 00:29:21,708
Speaker 16: But my favorite subject was I want to say my

722
00:29:21,748 --> 00:29:24,788
Speaker 16: favorite subject was science. And then the subject I really

723
00:29:24,828 --> 00:29:26,868
Speaker 16: struggled with growing up was reading.

724
00:29:27,468 --> 00:29:29,828
Speaker 11: I had it was something it was just.

725
00:29:29,708 --> 00:29:32,068
Speaker 16: Something I couldn't read at a high level and something

726
00:29:32,108 --> 00:29:33,868
Speaker 16: like considered 's some grades and then I have to

727
00:29:33,948 --> 00:29:36,108
Speaker 16: learn about that. But then actually when I got to college,

728
00:29:36,388 --> 00:29:38,428
Speaker 16: I actually learned more about it and then fell in

729
00:29:38,428 --> 00:29:39,028
Speaker 16: love with reading.

730
00:29:39,108 --> 00:29:41,748
Speaker 11: So those were probably like my two subjects. Which was

731
00:29:41,828 --> 00:29:43,148
Speaker 11: one which was worse awesome.

732
00:29:43,548 --> 00:29:45,068
Speaker 3: We'll talk when you talk about growing up, But who

733
00:29:45,068 --> 00:29:46,788
Speaker 3: would you idolize is a running back growing up?

734
00:29:46,828 --> 00:29:47,468
Speaker 2: Who was your guy?

735
00:29:47,828 --> 00:29:48,908
Speaker 11: Marshaun Lynch was one.

736
00:29:49,188 --> 00:29:51,628
Speaker 16: Yeah, Yeah, that was that was my guy man, just

737
00:29:51,628 --> 00:29:52,908
Speaker 16: the skittles and things like that.

738
00:29:52,988 --> 00:29:55,028
Speaker 11: And then I had I had like his uh, what's

739
00:29:55,028 --> 00:29:57,308
Speaker 11: his socks? It's like little fat head socks when I

740
00:29:57,348 --> 00:29:59,228
Speaker 11: was younger. So he was another guy.

741
00:29:59,468 --> 00:30:02,828
Speaker 16: And then another one just watching was DeAndre Swift and

742
00:30:03,148 --> 00:30:05,028
Speaker 16: Josh Jacobs's the other two.

743
00:30:05,228 --> 00:30:07,148
Speaker 6: All right, Taj, I need I need you to finish

744
00:30:07,228 --> 00:30:07,628
Speaker 6: this for me.

Speaker 7: Bad Boys, Bad Boys? What you gonna do?

746
00:30:11,028 --> 00:30:11,948
Speaker 11: What's he gonna do?

747
00:30:12,028 --> 00:30:16,308
Speaker 6: Yeah, so the rumors are true.

748
00:30:16,388 --> 00:30:18,748
Speaker 7: You like the Bad Boys series? Which person do you

749
00:30:18,828 --> 00:30:19,228
Speaker 7: like better?

750
00:30:19,268 --> 00:30:22,388
Speaker 6: Will Smith, right, Mike Lowry or do you like Martin

751
00:30:22,428 --> 00:30:24,988
Speaker 6: Lawrence and Detective Mike Markus I?

752
00:30:25,508 --> 00:30:28,228
Speaker 11: Oh man, it's hard. I'll probably say Will Smith.

753
00:30:28,308 --> 00:30:30,468
Speaker 16: I like the daughter scene when the daughter, when the

754
00:30:30,548 --> 00:30:34,228
Speaker 16: daughter comes over, when Reggie scene yep and comes over

755
00:30:34,308 --> 00:30:36,508
Speaker 16: and he's like, uh, you know, asking for like who

756
00:30:36,588 --> 00:30:38,828
Speaker 16: is this and he kind of interrogating them, So that's

757
00:30:38,828 --> 00:30:41,468
Speaker 16: probably I like the Will Smith man just to you know,

758
00:30:41,628 --> 00:30:43,948
Speaker 16: kind of looking over Mike Lowry's daughter and just making

759
00:30:43,948 --> 00:30:45,228
Speaker 16: sure he going through the right path.

760
00:30:45,628 --> 00:30:47,868
Speaker 10: Listen, if you read behind the scenes about that moment,

761
00:30:47,908 --> 00:30:49,748

00:30:54,068 --> 00:30:55,348
Speaker 10: messing with him on camera.

Speaker 5: a full fledged agent here in Athletes First, who has

843
00:34:40,868 --> 00:34:43,388
Speaker 5: represents Dak Prescott by the way, along with a bunch

844
00:34:43,468 --> 00:34:46,308
Speaker 5: of other quarterbacks, including Jordan Love. Plenty of guys at

845
00:34:46,308 --> 00:34:48,428

846
00:34:48,468 --> 00:34:50,268

857
00:35:17,748 --> 00:35:18,148
Speaker 8: Yes she is.

858
00:35:18,508 --> 00:35:20,988
Speaker 5: Justin Shulman, by the way, who represents her, was with

859
00:35:21,148 --> 00:35:23,348
Speaker 5: the w NBA when it first started out. He started

860
00:35:23,348 --> 00:35:26,508

861
00:35:26,508 --> 00:35:28,588
Speaker 5: performance there helped kick off the w NBA, So he

862
00:35:28,628 --> 00:35:30,508

863
00:35:30,588 --> 00:35:33,188

876
00:36:08,428 --> 00:36:10,348
Speaker 10: very cool because Jalen is here with us. I'm going

877
00:36:10,388 --> 00:36:11,588
Speaker 10: to Jailen. I'm going to talk to you. I want

878
00:36:11,628 --> 00:36:13,428
Speaker 10: to give a little context for those who might not remember.

879
00:36:13,588 --> 00:36:16,788
Speaker 10: I remember extremely well twenty sixteen Jalen Smith is one

880
00:36:16,788 --> 00:36:18,348
Speaker 10: of the best football players in the country.

881
00:36:18,388 --> 00:36:20,748
Speaker 2: He is a linebacker for Notre Dame. He is going

882
00:36:20,788 --> 00:36:21,028
Speaker 2: to be.

883
00:36:20,988 --> 00:36:24,228
Speaker 10: A top five pick, top five pick projected in the

884
00:36:24,268 --> 00:36:27,708
Speaker 10: Fiesta Bowl. He tears his knee badly, has this big injury,

885
00:36:27,788 --> 00:36:31,268
Speaker 10: and then he is thrust into uncertainty with some draft

886
00:36:31,308 --> 00:36:34,108
Speaker 10: prospects saying he could be a fifth round pick, a

887
00:36:34,188 --> 00:36:35,068
Speaker 10: Day three pick.

888
00:36:35,468 --> 00:36:36,508
Speaker 2: You decide to go in the.

889
00:36:36,508 --> 00:36:38,948
Speaker 10: Draft anyway because you wanted to bet on yourself, and

890
00:36:38,988 --> 00:36:41,428
Speaker 10: sure enough, Jerry Jones calls you and you are the

891
00:36:41,548 --> 00:36:45,308
Speaker 10: thirty fourth overall pick, completing an incredible six months and

892
00:36:45,348 --> 00:36:47,868
Speaker 10: one of the most memorable draft stories ever. Can you

893
00:36:47,948 --> 00:36:50,588
Speaker 10: tell it to us, please from your perspective, because this

894
00:36:50,628 --> 00:36:51,868
Speaker 10: is really really cool stuff.

895
00:36:52,188 --> 00:36:56,388
Speaker 9: Coming out being the top three player in high school,

896
00:36:56,388 --> 00:36:59,308
Speaker 9: a Buckets a War winner, going to Notre Dame, starting

897
00:36:59,348 --> 00:37:03,628
Speaker 9: as a true freshman. I'm having success all three years,

898
00:37:04,948 --> 00:37:07,788
Speaker 9: winning the Buckets Award, my junior year, first team All American,

899
00:37:08,588 --> 00:37:11,188
Speaker 9: a sure top five pick. We're in the Fiesta Bowl

900
00:37:11,308 --> 00:37:15,348
Speaker 9: versus Ohio State, which is my brothers alma mater, Roy Smith,

901
00:37:16,028 --> 00:37:19,948
Speaker 9: and getting a chance to play against Ohio State, which

902
00:37:19,988 --> 00:37:23,428
Speaker 9: was my second choice. Being from the Great State of

903
00:37:23,468 --> 00:37:25,468
Speaker 9: Indiana playing Ohio State.

904
00:37:25,668 --> 00:37:27,268
Speaker 8: You got Ezekiel Elliott.

905
00:37:27,628 --> 00:37:31,468
Speaker 9: There's like a projected nine first round picks in this draft,

906
00:37:31,468 --> 00:37:35,988
Speaker 9: Taylor Decker, Ronnie Stanley, Mike Mcglinchkey, myself.

907
00:37:36,068 --> 00:37:37,068
Speaker 8: But when you talk.

908
00:37:36,948 --> 00:37:39,348
Speaker 9: About running back linebacker, best running back in the draft,

909
00:37:39,348 --> 00:37:43,628
Speaker 9: Ezekiel Elliott versus myself, there was no doubt that I

910
00:37:43,668 --> 00:37:45,948
Speaker 9: was not going to play in that game. I was

911
00:37:46,028 --> 00:37:49,668
Speaker 9: going to play in that game prior to my injury.

912
00:37:50,188 --> 00:37:54,068
Speaker 9: It wasn't okay for players to sit out of bowl games.

913
00:37:54,268 --> 00:37:56,988
Speaker 9: So it's essentially the Jalen Smith rule that I created.

914
00:37:57,308 --> 00:38:00,308
Speaker 9: I knew that getting hurt was a threat. I knew

915
00:38:00,308 --> 00:38:02,788
Speaker 9: it was a threat. When you do a swat analysis,

916
00:38:02,828 --> 00:38:06,348
Speaker 9: you go through your strings, your weaknesses, opportunities, threats. I

917
00:38:06,468 --> 00:38:09,588
Speaker 9: just didn't believe that it would happen at that moment.

918
00:38:10,068 --> 00:38:14,828
Speaker 9: So getting a chance to have that injury, the first

919
00:38:14,868 --> 00:38:17,828
Speaker 9: thing for me was like why now? But then after

920
00:38:17,868 --> 00:38:20,668
Speaker 9: that it was just about how do I embrace this moment?

921
00:38:20,788 --> 00:38:23,308
Speaker 8: What do I learn from this? And I've developed a

922
00:38:23,348 --> 00:38:25,828
Speaker 8: clear eye view, which is my core values.

923
00:38:26,228 --> 00:38:30,068
Speaker 9: It stands for focused vision, determined belief, and earn dreams.

924
00:38:30,388 --> 00:38:33,268
Speaker 9: So having a laser beam focused on what I want

925
00:38:33,388 --> 00:38:35,308
Speaker 9: to accomplish, which was to play in.

926
00:38:35,228 --> 00:38:36,468
Speaker 8: The National Football League.

927
00:38:36,548 --> 00:38:39,388
Speaker 9: A determined belief, a self belief, a belief.

928
00:38:39,068 --> 00:38:40,268
Speaker 8: In God that he has my back.

929
00:38:40,388 --> 00:38:42,508
Speaker 9: That and belief in others that you know, there's a

930
00:38:42,548 --> 00:38:45,948
Speaker 9: supporting cast that believes that I can accomplish this goal

931
00:38:46,268 --> 00:38:48,148
Speaker 9: and then earn dreams. Is all about how bad do

932
00:38:48,228 --> 00:38:50,028
Speaker 9: you want it? You know what work are you willing

933
00:38:50,068 --> 00:38:52,548
Speaker 9: to put in to accomplish that goal. So with Jerry

934
00:38:52,588 --> 00:38:55,188
Speaker 9: Jones drafted me and the third pick in the second

935
00:38:55,308 --> 00:38:59,868
Speaker 9: round after doctor said I may never play again, you know,

936
00:38:59,988 --> 00:39:03,948
Speaker 9: I was just about, okay, how can I make sure

937
00:39:04,228 --> 00:39:06,428
Speaker 9: that at the Dallas Cowboys.

938
00:39:06,028 --> 00:39:07,388
Speaker 8: Get their return on their investment.

939
00:39:08,228 --> 00:39:10,588
Speaker 9: Me never wanted to be remembered as just being a

940
00:39:10,588 --> 00:39:11,388
Speaker 9: great athlete.
