1
00:00:02,000 --> 00:00:03,960
Speaker 1: Welcome to the solid verbal.

2
00:00:05,320 --> 00:00:08,720
Speaker 2: For me, I'm a man, I'm for I've heard so

3
00:00:08,800 --> 00:00:10,640
Speaker 2: many players say, well, I want to be happy.

4
00:00:10,800 --> 00:00:13,400
Speaker 1: You want to be happy for day Edith State is

5
00:00:13,480 --> 00:00:20,200
Speaker 1: that woo woom? And Dan and Tye Dan Rubinstein. As

6
00:00:20,680 --> 00:00:27,280
Speaker 1: you know, we ask for feedback on nearly every episode

7
00:00:27,920 --> 00:00:30,400
Speaker 1: of this podcast that we've done over the years, and

8
00:00:30,440 --> 00:00:34,120
Speaker 1: we get a lot, overwhelmingly get a lot of it. Yeah,

9
00:00:34,400 --> 00:00:37,880
Speaker 1: Today we are going to test out one of those

10
00:00:37,920 --> 00:00:41,000
Speaker 1: concepts that has been sent to us a great many

11
00:00:41,040 --> 00:00:43,880
Speaker 1: times over the years. We're going to remove the shackles

12
00:00:43,920 --> 00:00:47,599
Speaker 1: of the NC double A and the transfer portal and

13
00:00:48,680 --> 00:00:54,200
Speaker 1: uh secspn uh huh, sure you name it. Today we

14
00:00:54,280 --> 00:00:59,240
Speaker 1: are doing our version of a Super Bowl preview, My

15
00:00:59,280 --> 00:00:59,840
Speaker 1: good friend.

16
00:00:59,680 --> 00:01:03,880
Speaker 2: How are I'm good for anybody counting on us to

17
00:01:03,960 --> 00:01:07,280
Speaker 2: offer any sort of insight about the Super Bowl itself?

18
00:01:07,400 --> 00:01:12,319
Speaker 2: Wrong show? Yeah, cannot stress enough. But I'm doing really well.

19
00:01:13,360 --> 00:01:15,160
Speaker 2: You know, I'm thriving in the cold here in the

20
00:01:15,200 --> 00:01:17,320
Speaker 2: tundra because this is going to be an exciting, fun

21
00:01:17,440 --> 00:01:21,720
Speaker 2: show that takes us back I guess the last maybe fifteen, fourteen,

22
00:01:21,840 --> 00:01:24,520
Speaker 2: thirteen years or so of college football.

23
00:01:25,520 --> 00:01:27,160
Speaker 1: So I'm doing really well.

24
00:01:27,200 --> 00:01:29,640
Speaker 2: Because I got to relive a bunch of stuff because

25
00:01:30,480 --> 00:01:32,759
Speaker 2: we are looking at the Super Bowl through the prism

26
00:01:33,120 --> 00:01:37,480
Speaker 2: through the lens of college football and going back and

27
00:01:37,520 --> 00:01:41,520
Speaker 2: remembering some guys who happened to be starting or contributing

28
00:01:41,560 --> 00:01:44,080
Speaker 2: to these Super Bowl teams in the New England Patriots

29
00:01:44,120 --> 00:01:49,120
Speaker 2: and Seattle Seahawks, and I don't know it actually, like

30
00:01:49,960 --> 00:01:51,800
Speaker 2: I don't watch a lot of the NFL. I watch

31
00:01:51,840 --> 00:01:53,640
Speaker 2: a little bit more during the playoffs, but I don't

32
00:01:53,680 --> 00:01:57,560
Speaker 2: really have a guidepost or anything for how these teams

33
00:01:57,600 --> 00:01:59,639
Speaker 2: are and where they're strong and where they're not so strong,

34
00:01:59,720 --> 00:02:04,240
Speaker 2: beyond on like mainstream conversations of like the Seahawks defense

35
00:02:04,320 --> 00:02:08,360
Speaker 2: or something. So this actually added a terrific amount of

36
00:02:08,400 --> 00:02:11,560
Speaker 2: context to hopefully enjoy the game even more than I'm

37
00:02:11,560 --> 00:02:16,760
Speaker 2: already planning to. I stress, please. This is our version

38
00:02:17,600 --> 00:02:20,360
Speaker 2: of a Super Bowl sixty preview, which inherently means it's

39
00:02:20,360 --> 00:02:21,680
Speaker 2: going to be different than everybody else's.

40
00:02:21,720 --> 00:02:24,560
Speaker 1: That's just how we roll here. But think of it

41
00:02:24,760 --> 00:02:29,440
Speaker 1: less of a preview and more of you know, like

42
00:02:29,480 --> 00:02:31,480
Speaker 1: we talk about look aheads, this is more of a

43
00:02:31,520 --> 00:02:37,680
Speaker 1: look back players stories, how they performed in college, some

44
00:02:37,800 --> 00:02:40,960
Speaker 1: notable moments from when they were in college. And I

45
00:02:41,000 --> 00:02:44,480
Speaker 1: will add, even though to your point, we focus on

46
00:02:44,639 --> 00:02:49,760
Speaker 1: college overwhelmingly here on the podcast, even those times when

47
00:02:49,840 --> 00:02:55,040
Speaker 1: we decide to venture into parts unknown with our conversations, right,

48
00:02:56,480 --> 00:03:01,040
Speaker 1: there are still just a great number of advanced metrics

49
00:03:01,040 --> 00:03:03,040
Speaker 1: that are out there for all of these teams. Like

50
00:03:03,080 --> 00:03:08,079
Speaker 1: you and I are scraping things together. We're accessing dark spreadsheets,

51
00:03:08,120 --> 00:03:09,960
Speaker 1: you name it, to try and get these stats on

52
00:03:10,000 --> 00:03:12,799
Speaker 1: the college side of things. But the one thing the

53
00:03:12,919 --> 00:03:15,520
Speaker 1: NFL does well, they make all of this stuff available.

54
00:03:15,680 --> 00:03:17,720
Speaker 1: So I was actually able to go in there and

55
00:03:17,720 --> 00:03:20,320
Speaker 1: poke around a little bit and get some context on

56
00:03:20,360 --> 00:03:22,800
Speaker 1: the statistical level, sure with what's going to go on

57
00:03:22,840 --> 00:03:27,519
Speaker 1: in this game between the Seattle Seahawks and New England Patriots.

58
00:03:27,520 --> 00:03:29,160
Speaker 2: So I'll leave you in charge of that. I don't

59
00:03:29,160 --> 00:03:30,920
Speaker 2: have any thoughts about the game now, I can do

60
00:03:30,960 --> 00:03:33,840
Speaker 2: that we're doing, by the way, and this is especially

61
00:03:33,880 --> 00:03:35,840
Speaker 2: fun because look what we're doing is we're saying, here

62
00:03:35,840 --> 00:03:37,920
Speaker 2: are the college football players playing that happened to be

63
00:03:37,920 --> 00:03:40,360
Speaker 2: playing in this super Bowl. Because the NFL is just

64
00:03:40,440 --> 00:03:42,400
Speaker 2: you know, it's just a number of exhibitions after the

65
00:03:42,440 --> 00:03:46,600
Speaker 2: real careers ended in college. What do these players do

66
00:03:47,320 --> 00:03:50,600
Speaker 2: between Sundays, they make bets when their teams play each other,

67
00:03:50,640 --> 00:03:52,880
Speaker 2: their alma maters play each other, and they have to.

68
00:03:52,960 --> 00:03:55,720
Speaker 2: Like we saw Patrick Mahomes wearing an Oregon jersey after

69
00:03:55,760 --> 00:03:58,240
Speaker 2: Texas Tech lost to Oregon in the playoff, right, Like

70
00:03:58,440 --> 00:04:00,520
Speaker 2: once a Red Raider, always a Red Racee, or once

71
00:04:00,560 --> 00:04:03,560
Speaker 2: a tar Heel, always a tar Heel. And these guys

72
00:04:03,600 --> 00:04:06,480
Speaker 2: go back when they can for big games, for spring games,

73
00:04:06,520 --> 00:04:09,600
Speaker 2: Like there is something about college football that is in

74
00:04:09,640 --> 00:04:14,360
Speaker 2: these players DNA that's just different than being a Kansas

75
00:04:14,360 --> 00:04:17,360
Speaker 2: City Chief, a Chicago Bear, a Tampa Bay Buccaneers, or

76
00:04:17,400 --> 00:04:19,320
Speaker 2: at least I consider that to be the case of

77
00:04:19,320 --> 00:04:22,160
Speaker 2: somebody who covers college football. But I think that's true.

78
00:04:22,160 --> 00:04:26,080
Speaker 2: I think there's still more emotion tied to choosing where

79
00:04:26,080 --> 00:04:27,640
Speaker 2: you're going to go to school or where you're going

80
00:04:27,680 --> 00:04:31,159
Speaker 2: to transfer to, rather than where you're drafted or where

81
00:04:31,240 --> 00:04:34,600
Speaker 2: you're traded to, or where you decide eventually that like, okay,

82
00:04:34,600 --> 00:04:37,880
Speaker 2: this is my best option as a free agent that

83
00:04:38,160 --> 00:04:41,360
Speaker 2: I don't know. There's a lot less romance in college football,

84
00:04:41,640 --> 00:04:43,719
Speaker 2: But for a lot of these guys who have thrived

85
00:04:43,760 --> 00:04:46,320
Speaker 2: on the football field, it still seems as if like

86
00:04:47,000 --> 00:04:49,880
Speaker 2: they're all still like in their hearts college football players

87
00:04:50,120 --> 00:04:52,279
Speaker 2: who are happy to take the money from the NFL.

88
00:04:52,640 --> 00:04:57,720
Speaker 1: That's my viewpoint. Fair enough. Socerboodgmail dot com, as always,

Speaker 1: we dive in. Let's go, damn time the week they

103
00:05:46,360 --> 00:05:50,360
Speaker 1: can play it, right, I think? So that's fine. Super

104
00:05:51,000 --> 00:05:58,599
Speaker 1: Bowl sixty This Sunday, February the eighth, six thirty pm

105
00:05:58,640 --> 00:06:01,920
Speaker 1: Eastern time. They're playing it at Levi's Stadium in Santa

106
00:06:02,120 --> 00:06:07,320
Speaker 1: Clara California. I have some interesting nuggets on that. Okay,

107
00:06:08,200 --> 00:06:11,080
Speaker 1: this is the second time that Santa Clara has hosted

108
00:06:11,080 --> 00:06:13,960
Speaker 1: a Super Bowl. Did you know? It is the fourteenth

109
00:06:14,000 --> 00:06:16,640
Speaker 1: time that the super Bowl is being played in the

110
00:06:16,680 --> 00:06:21,120
Speaker 1: great state of California. Did not? That is second only

111
00:06:21,200 --> 00:06:25,120
Speaker 1: to Florida, which has hosted the super Bowl seventeen times.

112
00:06:25,160 --> 00:06:29,800
Speaker 1: Which quick math check, thirty one super Bowls have been

113
00:06:29,839 --> 00:06:34,919
Speaker 1: played in either California or the state of Florida. That

114
00:06:35,080 --> 00:06:38,200
Speaker 1: is over half. That is exactly one super Bowl over

115
00:06:38,240 --> 00:06:40,880
Speaker 1: the halfway point. Most of them are played in one

116
00:06:40,920 --> 00:06:44,200
Speaker 1: of those two states. On the call, we're going to

117
00:06:44,240 --> 00:06:47,839
Speaker 1: have Mike Turico and Chris Collinsworth. Chris Collinsworth has called

118
00:06:47,880 --> 00:06:51,279
Speaker 1: six super Bowls. Interestingly enough, Mike Turrico has never called one.

119
00:06:51,720 --> 00:06:54,880
Speaker 1: You believe that Dude's been everywhere, has done everything, He's

120
00:06:54,960 --> 00:06:57,080
Speaker 1: never done this. So this is going to be Mike

121
00:06:57,320 --> 00:06:58,159
Speaker 1: Ico's first Super Bowl.

122
00:06:58,200 --> 00:07:02,440
Speaker 2: I like Mike Rico, Sarah Orange Turkey, that is Chris

123
00:07:02,440 --> 00:07:03,599
Speaker 2: collins with Florida Gator.

124
00:07:04,520 --> 00:07:07,719
Speaker 1: I believe, So yeah, yeah, continue. This is a matchup

125
00:07:07,760 --> 00:07:10,720
Speaker 1: between two teams that are fourteen and three of the

126
00:07:10,720 --> 00:07:14,720
Speaker 1: Seattle Seahawks coming out of the NFC West the New

127
00:07:14,720 --> 00:07:18,120
Speaker 1: England Patriots coming out of the AFC East. Right now

128
00:07:18,160 --> 00:07:21,040
Speaker 1: at time of recording, Seattle favored by about four and

129
00:07:21,080 --> 00:07:24,160
Speaker 1: a half points. I looked last night. It's something like

130
00:07:24,240 --> 00:07:26,880
Speaker 1: sixty five percent of the bets seventy one percent of

131
00:07:26,880 --> 00:07:29,720
Speaker 1: the money right now on the Seattle Seahawks. That line

132
00:07:29,840 --> 00:07:32,120
Speaker 1: is up. I believe it opened around a field goal

133
00:07:32,200 --> 00:07:35,400
Speaker 1: or so. A lot of money came in on the Seahawks,

134
00:07:35,440 --> 00:07:37,840
Speaker 1: and it seems like they are the betting favorite, at

135
00:07:37,920 --> 00:07:41,640
Speaker 1: least among the public betters out there. Another interesting factoid,

136
00:07:42,360 --> 00:07:46,800
Speaker 1: this is the tenth Super Bowl rematch in NFL history,

137
00:07:47,760 --> 00:07:50,840
Speaker 1: meaning they played before in a Super Bowl. The winner

138
00:07:51,440 --> 00:07:56,200
Speaker 1: of the first meeting in previous Super Bowl rematches is

139
00:07:56,440 --> 00:08:01,200
Speaker 1: six and three in the second time around. This one

140
00:08:01,280 --> 00:08:03,840
Speaker 1: is a rematch. They played this game back in twenty fifteen.

141
00:08:03,880 --> 00:08:06,320
Speaker 1: It was one of the great Super Bowls. Actually, Patriots

142
00:08:06,320 --> 00:08:09,280
Speaker 1: is a Malcolm Butler. Yeah, Patriots won twenty eight to

143
00:08:09,320 --> 00:08:12,480
Speaker 1: twenty four. Malcolm Butler intercepted Russell Wilson on the last

144
00:08:12,480 --> 00:08:14,720
Speaker 1: play of the game from the one yard line, which

145
00:08:14,720 --> 00:08:18,440
Speaker 1: would have given Seattle obviously the lead and the win

146
00:08:18,800 --> 00:08:22,800
Speaker 1: in the Super Bowl. But a very dramatic finish. If

147
00:08:22,840 --> 00:08:25,200
Speaker 1: you take that at face value, that would seem to

148
00:08:25,240 --> 00:08:29,440
Speaker 1: benefit quirky stat I get it would seem to benefit

149
00:08:29,600 --> 00:08:34,720
Speaker 1: the New England Patriots in this matchup. There's your I

150
00:08:34,720 --> 00:08:36,920
Speaker 1: guess context for what is going on here.

151
00:08:37,559 --> 00:08:41,640
Speaker 2: I'll add, I'll add so it's Russell Wilson, NC State,

152
00:08:41,720 --> 00:08:47,680
Speaker 2: Wisconsin correct, NC State legend, Russell Wilson, teammate of Nate Tice,

153
00:08:48,280 --> 00:08:52,880
Speaker 2: good friend, our spring guests, our spring guest annually, West

154
00:08:52,920 --> 00:08:57,200
Speaker 2: Alabama Malcolm Butler, West Alabama Tigers also on the call.

155
00:08:57,320 --> 00:09:03,240
Speaker 2: Should just add Proud who Melissa's a Stark Virginia Wow, Yeah,

156
00:09:03,480 --> 00:09:07,560
Speaker 2: Washington and Lee Kaylee Hartong from Baton Rouge, friend of

157
00:09:07,559 --> 00:09:12,120
Speaker 2: the show, Deep Lsu tuies. But I'm just trying to

158
00:09:12,120 --> 00:09:13,920
Speaker 2: spin the college tie. I'm just trying to spin the

159
00:09:13,920 --> 00:09:14,800
Speaker 2: college continue.

160
00:09:15,320 --> 00:09:18,440
Speaker 1: So here's what we did. You and I we broke

161
00:09:18,480 --> 00:09:21,400
Speaker 1: this up a little bit. You took the Seattle Seahawks.

162
00:09:21,880 --> 00:09:25,040
Speaker 1: I took the New England Patriots, and we did a

163
00:09:25,080 --> 00:09:28,080
Speaker 1: deep dive of the players, the schools they went to,

164
00:09:28,800 --> 00:09:31,240
Speaker 1: the stories that come to mind when we think of

165
00:09:31,240 --> 00:09:33,920
Speaker 1: those players, and obviously a bunch more that we found

166
00:09:33,920 --> 00:09:36,640
Speaker 1: when we did some of our homework here. This is,

167
00:09:36,800 --> 00:09:40,199
Speaker 1: in effect a stroll down memory lane. So if you're

168
00:09:40,200 --> 00:09:43,160
Speaker 1: a college football fan, even if you're an NFL fan

169
00:09:43,720 --> 00:09:47,360
Speaker 1: finding this for the first time, we're, as I said

170
00:09:47,400 --> 00:09:49,280
Speaker 1: a couple times now, going to provide a little bit

171
00:09:49,320 --> 00:09:52,200
Speaker 1: of a different spin on the Super Bowl. Why don't

172
00:09:52,200 --> 00:09:54,920
Speaker 1: you kick things off here with the favorite Seattle Seahawks.

173
00:09:55,120 --> 00:09:57,640
Speaker 2: All right, So there's a ton that's super interesting about

174
00:09:57,640 --> 00:10:00,400
Speaker 2: Seahawks players in college. And I took the Seahawks because

175
00:10:00,559 --> 00:10:03,800
Speaker 2: not only am I from the West Coast, but there's

176
00:10:03,880 --> 00:10:07,000
Speaker 2: just a lot of West Coast to this Seattle Seahawks

177
00:10:07,120 --> 00:10:09,200
Speaker 2: roster in terms of college and where they grew up.

178
00:10:09,240 --> 00:10:11,360
Speaker 1: How do you feel about the Seahawks as a Niner fan?

179
00:10:12,800 --> 00:10:14,199
Speaker 1: Are you split here a little bit?

180
00:10:14,679 --> 00:10:17,640
Speaker 2: I've told my sons I'm rooting for the Patriots because

181
00:10:17,679 --> 00:10:21,080
Speaker 2: a Niners fan just can't root for the Seahawks. But

182
00:10:21,280 --> 00:10:25,520
Speaker 2: after sort of refreshing my memory banks about all of

183
00:10:25,520 --> 00:10:28,920
Speaker 2: these players on the Seahawks, I don't know, man, it's

184
00:10:29,000 --> 00:10:31,360
Speaker 2: kind of cool, like and I have Seahawks friends. Remember

185
00:10:31,360 --> 00:10:33,680
Speaker 2: we had Mina Chimes on the show and Matt Hufferd.

186
00:10:33,720 --> 00:10:36,280
Speaker 2: I go way back with a good friend like, there's

187
00:10:36,320 --> 00:10:38,599
Speaker 2: a lot of Seahawks people in my life, so I

188
00:10:38,640 --> 00:10:41,200
Speaker 2: would be happy for them, given how they lost the

189
00:10:41,200 --> 00:10:44,280
Speaker 2: Patriots Super Bowl the first time. I'm not fully on

190
00:10:44,400 --> 00:10:46,880
Speaker 2: board with rooting for the Seahawks, but it would be

191
00:10:46,960 --> 00:10:49,160
Speaker 2: cool given some of the backgrounds. And I'm sure would

192
00:10:49,160 --> 00:10:51,440
Speaker 2: be cool to see the Patriots given some of the

193
00:10:51,440 --> 00:10:54,840
Speaker 2: backgrounds that you'll go go over. But the Seahawks are

194
00:10:54,880 --> 00:10:58,080
Speaker 2: really interesting just from a college football perspective. Okay, Mike

195
00:10:58,200 --> 00:11:02,760
Speaker 2: McDonald head coach, has extreme college football ties. Was the

196
00:11:02,760 --> 00:11:05,280
Speaker 2: twenty twenty one Michigan I believe it was twenty twenty

197
00:11:05,280 --> 00:11:09,000
Speaker 2: one Michigan defensive coordinator and they were excellent, and that

198
00:11:09,160 --> 00:11:11,720
Speaker 2: was the Ravens connection with he and Jesse Minter and

199
00:11:11,720 --> 00:11:15,880
Speaker 2: then bring Martindale and the Harbaugh brothers. He started out,

200
00:11:15,920 --> 00:11:18,360
Speaker 2: he went to Georgia. He was a student assistant at Georgia.

201
00:11:18,480 --> 00:11:20,880
Speaker 2: He was coaching in high school while he was a

202
00:11:20,920 --> 00:11:24,240
Speaker 2: student at Georgia, and then got an internship with the

203
00:11:24,320 --> 00:11:26,319
Speaker 2: Ravens and worked his way up before taking the one

204
00:11:26,360 --> 00:11:30,320
Speaker 2: year at Michigan as their DC and installing that lethal

205
00:11:30,400 --> 00:11:33,199
Speaker 2: zone defense that Michigan ran all the way to a

206
00:11:33,320 --> 00:11:37,480
Speaker 2: national championship. So if the Seahawks win, not only is

207
00:11:37,520 --> 00:11:40,200
Speaker 2: it a win for Mike McDonald, but it is a

208
00:11:40,240 --> 00:11:45,880
Speaker 2: win for the Todd Grantham coaching trees. I never forget

209
00:11:46,400 --> 00:11:50,679
Speaker 2: offensive coordinator Clint Kubiak was a good safety for Colorado

210
00:11:50,760 --> 00:11:55,320
Speaker 2: State and was on the staff with first Mike Sherman

211
00:11:55,360 --> 00:11:57,079
Speaker 2: and then Kevin Somelin at Texas A and m was

212
00:11:57,120 --> 00:12:00,199
Speaker 2: there in twenty twelve as a GA for or the

213
00:12:00,240 --> 00:12:01,880
Speaker 2: Johnny Football Heisman year.

214
00:12:02,320 --> 00:12:04,760
Speaker 1: If you'll oh, that's right, that's right, And he's going

215
00:12:04,840 --> 00:12:06,280
Speaker 1: to be the next coach for the Raiders, isn't he.

216
00:12:06,320 --> 00:12:07,040
Speaker 1: I think that's true.

217
00:12:07,080 --> 00:12:10,000
Speaker 2: Yes, their defensive coordinator is British, so there was no

218
00:12:10,160 --> 00:12:14,360
Speaker 2: specific connection to college football, but a cool story nonetheless,

219
00:12:14,360 --> 00:12:16,680
Speaker 2: as he worked his way up the American football ranks,

220
00:12:17,480 --> 00:12:19,240
Speaker 2: you know Sam Donald's going to be the big name

221
00:12:19,559 --> 00:12:23,720
Speaker 2: on offense. Sam Donald's was super overlooked for much of

222
00:12:23,720 --> 00:12:27,800
Speaker 2: his recruitment and if you'll remember so USC the class

223
00:12:27,840 --> 00:12:32,360
Speaker 2: that he committed or signed with USC in he was

224
00:12:32,520 --> 00:12:35,360
Speaker 2: kind of an afterthought. He's local, He's from San Clementy,

225
00:12:35,440 --> 00:12:38,880
Speaker 2: and Orange County has like the shaggy hair Orange County

226
00:12:38,880 --> 00:12:40,960
Speaker 2: bro look. Played a bunch of sports in high school.

227
00:12:41,360 --> 00:12:44,080
Speaker 2: But the name that everybody was excited about going in

228
00:12:44,679 --> 00:12:48,280
Speaker 2: was do you remember this at all that year? It's impossible.

229
00:12:48,320 --> 00:12:52,200
Speaker 2: This is like twenty fourteen, twenty fifteen, Yeah, Ricky Town.

230
00:12:53,160 --> 00:12:58,760
Speaker 2: So wacky Town committed to Bama, switched to SC junior college,

231
00:12:58,880 --> 00:13:02,600
Speaker 2: pitt and Arkansas, so he bounced around a ton, never

232
00:13:02,679 --> 00:13:06,400
Speaker 2: really took hold as a college football quarterback. Sam Donald

233
00:13:06,400 --> 00:13:09,280
Speaker 2: comes in and Max Brown has written about this. Max Brown,

234
00:13:09,320 --> 00:13:12,160
Speaker 2: another five star quarterback for USC, waiting in the wings

235
00:13:12,160 --> 00:13:15,120
Speaker 2: for his turn. After Cody Kessler starts the game against

236
00:13:15,200 --> 00:13:22,240
Speaker 2: Alabama in which Alabama absolutely mummifies USC. Max Brown starts

237
00:13:22,240 --> 00:13:24,360
Speaker 2: that game, gets pulled in that game, and a couple

238
00:13:24,760 --> 00:13:28,360
Speaker 2: starts later, gets pulled in favor of Sam Donald, who's

239
00:13:28,400 --> 00:13:32,560
Speaker 2: much younger for USC. Sam Donald never lets go of

240
00:13:32,600 --> 00:13:37,000
Speaker 2: the job and is the high point of the Clay

241
00:13:37,040 --> 00:13:41,120
Speaker 2: Helton era as a quarterback, and that sort of his

242
00:13:41,280 --> 00:13:44,160
Speaker 2: apex just in terms of national visibility. And he has

243
00:13:44,200 --> 00:13:46,439
Speaker 2: big wins. You know, they beat Washington the year Washington

244
00:13:46,440 --> 00:13:49,240
Speaker 2: goes to the playoff, but that Penn State Rose Bowl

245
00:13:49,600 --> 00:13:52,079
Speaker 2: was just absurd. Oh man, So I went back. I

246
00:13:52,120 --> 00:13:54,040
Speaker 2: think I told you when we were putting this together.

247
00:13:54,679 --> 00:13:58,640
Speaker 1: I went back and I looked at some highlights from

248
00:13:58,640 --> 00:14:00,240
Speaker 1: that game. I mean that was one where say Kwan

249
00:14:00,320 --> 00:14:02,240
Speaker 1: went off, had almost like two hundred yards. That was

250
00:14:02,240 --> 00:14:05,480
Speaker 1: a Chris Guyan game, and you know, USC ended up

251
00:14:05,520 --> 00:14:08,960
Speaker 1: winning it. But all the points, a lot of back

252
00:14:09,000 --> 00:14:12,960
Speaker 1: and forth, exactly what you want from a game like

253
00:14:13,000 --> 00:14:16,160
Speaker 1: the Rose Bowl. Correct, that was so much fun to watch. Obviously,

254
00:14:16,800 --> 00:14:18,600
Speaker 1: you know I would have hoped for a different result,

255
00:14:18,640 --> 00:14:20,680
Speaker 1: but nonetheless, man, that was that was a lot of fun.

256
00:14:21,360 --> 00:14:24,120
Speaker 2: So yeah, Penn State scores zero points in both the

257
00:14:24,160 --> 00:14:27,200
Speaker 2: first and fourth quarters. They have a double digit lead

258
00:14:27,240 --> 00:14:30,160
Speaker 2: in the fourth quarter that they gag away a ton

259
00:14:30,200 --> 00:14:32,760
Speaker 2: of turnover. I think Trace mcstirley threw three picks in

260
00:14:32,800 --> 00:14:36,200
Speaker 2: this game. Sam Darmoer, you can see how raw he

261
00:14:36,280 --> 00:14:38,000
Speaker 2: is as a quarterback. You can kind of see that.

262
00:14:38,040 --> 00:14:40,600
Speaker 2: I mean, it's very obviously he's an incredible athlete. He's

263
00:14:40,600 --> 00:14:42,280
Speaker 2: got a big arm, but like the it's got like

264
00:14:42,360 --> 00:14:45,800
Speaker 2: kind of a John Elway overhand motion, and he's like

265
00:14:45,880 --> 00:14:49,280
Speaker 2: dirting balls. He's overthrowing open dudes and still finishes with

266
00:14:49,400 --> 00:14:52,520
Speaker 2: four hundred and fifty yards passing in this game and

267
00:14:52,560 --> 00:14:55,800
Speaker 2: could have gone for five point fifty so that was

268
00:14:55,840 --> 00:14:59,400
Speaker 2: an incredible game. Having a great career at USC, I

269
00:14:59,480 --> 00:15:02,120
Speaker 2: believe only starts for two years before entering the draft

270
00:15:02,160 --> 00:15:04,880
Speaker 2: because it just his his stock was too high, not

271
00:15:05,000 --> 00:15:08,960
Speaker 2: too but just in terms of where USC has been,

272
00:15:09,160 --> 00:15:12,000
Speaker 2: he was certainly a high point with some up and

273
00:15:12,040 --> 00:15:15,040
Speaker 2: down years in the in the years following and the

274
00:15:15,240 --> 00:15:18,440
Speaker 2: way the Clay Helton era ended. So Sam Donald huge name.

275
00:15:18,480 --> 00:15:20,160
Speaker 2: I know, he's bounced around the NFL a little bit

276
00:15:20,200 --> 00:15:22,040
Speaker 2: and you know, you get the Jets era and everything

277
00:15:22,080 --> 00:15:24,880
Speaker 2: like that. But a cool story nonetheless for Sam Donald

278
00:15:24,960 --> 00:15:28,120
Speaker 2: on the West Coast to thrive in Seattle.

279
00:15:28,720 --> 00:15:31,920
Speaker 1: Also of note, his grandfather was the Marlborough Man, a genleman.

280
00:15:31,960 --> 00:15:35,160
Speaker 1: But Dick Hammer, right, Dick Hammer. Yeah, that that has

281
00:15:35,280 --> 00:15:38,280
Speaker 1: been an ongoing thing that has been noted.

282
00:15:38,680 --> 00:15:41,400
Speaker 2: Needs to be mentioned, needs to be mentioned. There's like

283
00:15:41,480 --> 00:15:45,120
Speaker 2: there's a lot of like college football like guys names

284
00:15:45,240 --> 00:15:47,520
Speaker 2: on this Seattle roster, like Jackson Smith and Jig was

285
00:15:47,560 --> 00:15:49,120
Speaker 2: the other one. I think he's considered to be like

286
00:15:49,760 --> 00:15:52,000
Speaker 2: if he's not the best receiver in the NFL, he's

287
00:15:52,040 --> 00:15:54,600
Speaker 2: one of two three something like that.

288
00:15:54,640 --> 00:15:57,600
Speaker 1: There was there was a conversation that they had in

289
00:15:57,640 --> 00:16:02,400
Speaker 1: the booth. It was Tom Brady, who was breaking down

290
00:16:02,520 --> 00:16:05,360
Speaker 1: why JSN is so good at what he does. It

291
00:16:05,400 --> 00:16:07,160
Speaker 1: took him a little bit to kind of get cooking

292
00:16:07,800 --> 00:16:12,600
Speaker 1: in the NFL, but he talked about how he never

293
00:16:12,680 --> 00:16:16,320
Speaker 1: alters the angle of his shoulder pets i e. He's

294
00:16:16,360 --> 00:16:21,320
Speaker 1: not tipping his pitches. He's not showing defenders which direction

295
00:16:21,440 --> 00:16:24,440
Speaker 1: he's going to go next. And given the fact that

296
00:16:24,480 --> 00:16:26,360
Speaker 1: he and we knew this when he was in college

297
00:16:26,400 --> 00:16:28,640
Speaker 1: at Ohio State, this is one of the scouting reports

298
00:16:28,640 --> 00:16:32,120
Speaker 1: when he came out, that he's just so smooth into

299
00:16:32,200 --> 00:16:35,400
Speaker 1: and out of his breaks that if you're a defender,

300
00:16:36,280 --> 00:16:38,440
Speaker 1: he's passed you before you even know it. So you're

301
00:16:38,520 --> 00:16:41,680
Speaker 1: always looking for any kind of tell which direction is

302
00:16:41,720 --> 00:16:43,800
Speaker 1: this guy going to go next. The fact that he

303
00:16:43,880 --> 00:16:45,760
Speaker 1: does not do that is a big part of why

304
00:16:45,800 --> 00:16:50,000
Speaker 1: he has been so damn dominant. Right again, college football

305
00:16:50,000 --> 00:16:53,040
Speaker 1: show right or not exactly deep in the weeds of

306
00:16:53,080 --> 00:16:54,680
Speaker 1: what goes on on the NFL level. But you and

307
00:16:54,720 --> 00:16:56,800
Speaker 1: I both watched the playoffs. I think pretty intently we

308
00:16:56,840 --> 00:17:01,480
Speaker 1: care about that because it's interesting. He is unstoppable right now.

309
00:17:02,000 --> 00:17:04,720
Speaker 1: Teams cannot cover him. He finds a way to get open.

310
00:17:05,119 --> 00:17:08,760
Speaker 1: Maybe not just solely because of that. The Kubiak system

311
00:17:08,800 --> 00:17:11,639
Speaker 1: has been something of a revelation for Sam Darnold and

312
00:17:11,680 --> 00:17:16,480
Speaker 1: really that entire offense, but his ability to sort of

313
00:17:17,000 --> 00:17:21,399
Speaker 1: be that smooth when he is running routes is just

314
00:17:21,520 --> 00:17:23,760
Speaker 1: incredible to watch. And he's gonna have a big game.

315
00:17:23,880 --> 00:17:25,960
Speaker 1: That's one of the things I jotted down here. I

316
00:17:26,000 --> 00:17:28,919
Speaker 1: think he's gonna have a huge game against New England

317
00:17:28,960 --> 00:17:31,879
Speaker 1: and if there is a matchup advantage, this is one

318
00:17:31,920 --> 00:17:34,680
Speaker 1: of those things that I gravitate towards. But jasaid the

319
00:17:34,720 --> 00:17:36,640
Speaker 1: story of JSN this year, in the year that he's

320
00:17:36,680 --> 00:17:39,000
Speaker 1: had something like seventeen hundred receiving yards, I mean, it's

321
00:17:39,040 --> 00:17:41,480
Speaker 1: been it's been a really good year for him.

322
00:17:41,960 --> 00:17:46,720
Speaker 2: He exhibits the single most annoying thing for those of

323
00:17:46,800 --> 00:17:50,760
Speaker 2: us who are not naturally elite athletes, and that's doing

324
00:17:50,840 --> 00:17:54,800
Speaker 2: what he does effortlessly. Yes, no matter the sport. Right,

325
00:17:54,800 --> 00:17:57,200
Speaker 2: if you watch a basketball player who's able to accelerate

326
00:17:57,240 --> 00:18:00,000
Speaker 2: and decelerate on a dime, If you watch a tennis

327
00:18:00,080 --> 00:18:03,600
Speaker 2: player who doesn't sweat and can you know, serve a

328
00:18:03,720 --> 00:18:06,719
Speaker 2: ball you know, seven different ways with the same toss

329
00:18:06,800 --> 00:18:10,159
Speaker 2: right in baseball, right that if a player is just

330
00:18:10,200 --> 00:18:11,800
Speaker 2: so patient at the plate and you're like, no, I'm

331
00:18:11,800 --> 00:18:13,600
Speaker 2: just gonna wait for my pitch and then just crank

332
00:18:13,640 --> 00:18:16,160
Speaker 2: it over the left field wall. Like there's just there's

333
00:18:16,160 --> 00:18:19,040
Speaker 2: something effortless about Jackson Smith and Jigba and you're gonna

334
00:18:19,040 --> 00:18:21,320
Speaker 2: be shocked to learn totally on display at Ohio State.

335
00:18:21,480 --> 00:18:23,440
Speaker 1: Yeah, it was incredible at Ohio State.

336
00:18:23,480 --> 00:18:25,760
Speaker 2: It plays sparingly as a freshman, but makes like an

337
00:18:25,760 --> 00:18:28,360
Speaker 2: incredible toe tap, like an all time modern toe tap

338
00:18:28,400 --> 00:18:31,080
Speaker 2: against Nebraska. If you remember, remember that the game was

339
00:18:31,720 --> 00:18:33,639
Speaker 2: with it was I want to say it was twenty

340
00:18:33,760 --> 00:18:37,920
Speaker 2: twenty and it was or maybe twenty twenty one when

341
00:18:38,119 --> 00:18:41,800
Speaker 2: it was Joel Clatt and Gus Johnson and they watched

342
00:18:41,960 --> 00:18:44,439
Speaker 2: him catch a ball out of the back of the

343
00:18:44,520 --> 00:18:46,159
Speaker 2: end zone. They're like, well, that's a good catch, but

344
00:18:46,200 --> 00:18:48,760
Speaker 2: you know that's incomplete, and then they go back and

345
00:18:48,800 --> 00:18:51,040
Speaker 2: watch it in slow motion They're like, holy hell, what

346
00:18:52,840 --> 00:18:55,440
Speaker 2: so that was like a cool welcome to college football

347
00:18:55,560 --> 00:18:59,200
Speaker 2: twenty twenty one Ohio State tie. That's the famed Chris

348
00:18:59,240 --> 00:19:02,879
Speaker 2: olave Gara, Wilson, Jackson Smith and Jigba and not only

349
00:19:02,960 --> 00:19:05,080
Speaker 2: jacksonth and jib but and Marvin Harrison Junior and not

350
00:19:05,119 --> 00:19:08,360
Speaker 2: even just like a Mecca Buka's on that team. Gee

351
00:19:08,359 --> 00:19:10,600
Speaker 2: Scott's on that team. Trey Henderson's on that team.

352
00:19:10,640 --> 00:19:10,920
Speaker 1: CJ.

353
00:19:11,040 --> 00:19:15,320
Speaker 2: Stroud is the quarterback. And that goes to show you, Ty,

354
00:19:15,640 --> 00:19:19,440
Speaker 2: that's how good Aiden Hutchinson was in that Michigan game.

355
00:19:20,440 --> 00:19:23,200
Speaker 2: He could single handedly swallow up an offense to the

356
00:19:23,240 --> 00:19:25,600
Speaker 2: point where they could not get it to those dudes.

357
00:19:26,560 --> 00:19:28,720
Speaker 2: And it was also Kerry Coombs for Ohio State. Whatever

358
00:19:29,920 --> 00:19:32,679
Speaker 2: he goes for over two hundred against Nebraska in twenty

359
00:19:32,800 --> 00:19:35,400
Speaker 2: twenty two. I hope I'm getting all my years right

360
00:19:35,440 --> 00:19:40,919
Speaker 2: here and finishes out that I'm gonna you can correct me,

361
00:19:40,960 --> 00:19:45,280
Speaker 2: please fact check me on the years here his apex

362
00:19:45,320 --> 00:19:47,359
Speaker 2: because he doesn't really play his final season in college

363
00:19:47,359 --> 00:19:47,800
Speaker 2: because he has.

364
00:19:47,720 --> 00:19:48,919
Speaker 1: A nagging hamstring injury.

365
00:19:48,920 --> 00:19:51,520
Speaker 2: But the year before that, if you remember Chris o'lave

366
00:19:51,640 --> 00:19:54,200
Speaker 2: and Garrett Wilson opt out of the Rose Bowl, Kirk

367
00:19:54,200 --> 00:19:58,000
Speaker 2: Herbstreet is damn near tears on no sleep, right like

368
00:19:58,080 --> 00:20:06,440
Speaker 2: what is happening? And Jackson Smith and Jigba effortlessly lights up.

369
00:20:06,520 --> 00:20:09,280
Speaker 2: Michael Bernard, who is not a cornerback for Utah. He's

370
00:20:09,280 --> 00:20:11,880
Speaker 2: the running back put in at cornerback because they're thinn

371
00:20:11,880 --> 00:20:16,640
Speaker 2: in the secondary, effortlessly goes for three hundred and forty

372
00:20:16,760 --> 00:20:21,840
Speaker 2: plus yards in a Rose Bowl shootout win for Ohio State.

373
00:20:22,840 --> 00:20:25,080
Speaker 2: That's an absurd number. Could have been more, could have

374
00:20:25,080 --> 00:20:26,720
Speaker 2: had more touchdowns. I think he fumbled it inside the

375
00:20:26,760 --> 00:20:28,520
Speaker 2: five yard line on a long catch, so could have

376
00:20:28,560 --> 00:20:32,960
Speaker 2: had more touchdowns. Is playing college football as an NFL

377
00:20:33,040 --> 00:20:39,080
Speaker 2: player as a technical like sophomore in college and those

378
00:20:39,119 --> 00:20:41,880
Speaker 2: guys readily admit Olave and Garrett Wilson, like, oh, yeah,

379
00:20:41,920 --> 00:20:42,560
Speaker 2: he was the best one.

380
00:20:42,640 --> 00:20:42,840
Speaker 1: Yeah.

381
00:20:42,840 --> 00:20:45,920
Speaker 2: It was the twenty Rose, the twenty twenty two Rose Bulls,

382
00:20:45,920 --> 00:20:47,560
Speaker 2: so it was following the twenty twenty one season.

383
00:20:47,600 --> 00:20:49,920
Speaker 1: That's right, yep. It was three hundred and forty seven

384
00:20:50,000 --> 00:20:53,600
Speaker 1: yards on fifteen catches and three touchdowns Ohio State one

385
00:20:54,240 --> 00:20:56,520
Speaker 1: forty eight to forty five. Another shootout in the Rose.

386
00:20:56,640 --> 00:20:58,080
Speaker 1: Incredible game. Yeah.

387
00:20:58,520 --> 00:21:03,280
Speaker 2: So that's Jackson Smith in Jigba and is just effortlessly

388
00:21:03,359 --> 00:21:06,040
Speaker 2: and it's just it's funny to see like an Ohio

389
00:21:06,040 --> 00:21:09,720
Speaker 2: State receiver lighting up teams and then opposite him is

390
00:21:09,760 --> 00:21:14,119
Speaker 2: a Weber State receiver in Rashid's Shaheed, who is also

391
00:21:14,160 --> 00:21:17,720
Speaker 2: like fascinating. Could have run track at usc like unbelievable speed,

392
00:21:17,760 --> 00:21:19,840
Speaker 2: but wanted to play football, and Weaber State is where

393
00:21:19,880 --> 00:21:23,280
Speaker 2: he got his opportunity. And I think he's been very

394
00:21:23,320 --> 00:21:24,919
Speaker 2: good for the Seahawks. I don't watch a lot of

395
00:21:24,920 --> 00:21:28,120
Speaker 2: Seahawks games, but like an absurd amount of speed, and

396
00:21:28,359 --> 00:21:33,600
Speaker 2: opposite him Eastern Washington legend Cooper Cup. Cooper Cup, who

397
00:21:34,000 --> 00:21:38,080
Speaker 2: is from Yakima, Washington, could not get a callback Tye

398
00:21:39,160 --> 00:21:42,440
Speaker 2: could not get a sniff from the University of Washington.

399
00:21:42,720 --> 00:21:45,280
Speaker 2: Mike Leech offers him a preferred walk on spot, like

400
00:21:45,400 --> 00:21:47,359
Speaker 2: right after he gets hired, but he had already committed

401
00:21:47,359 --> 00:21:50,800
Speaker 2: to Eastern Washington. Couldn't get a sniff from Boise State.

402
00:21:50,840 --> 00:21:52,960
Speaker 2: And Chris Peterson, who like seems like that would be

403
00:21:53,000 --> 00:21:56,879
Speaker 2: a perfect fit giving he's from Yakima. And Cooper Cup,

404
00:21:57,000 --> 00:21:59,159
Speaker 2: I think his I mean, he wins every like conceivable

405
00:21:59,200 --> 00:22:01,720
Speaker 2: award and he's a receiving legend on the FCS level.

406
00:22:01,840 --> 00:22:04,920
Speaker 2: Sure lights up Oregon for two hundred and forty plus

407
00:22:05,000 --> 00:22:08,840
Speaker 2: yards in Audson opposite Vernon Adams, his one time quarterback

408
00:22:08,840 --> 00:22:12,800
Speaker 2: at Eastern Washington and oh my god, half of that game.

409
00:22:12,920 --> 00:22:15,639
Speaker 2: Kevin Callabro who was former voice of the Sonics and

410
00:22:15,640 --> 00:22:18,560
Speaker 2: Blazers is calling him connor Cup because and I don't

411
00:22:18,560 --> 00:22:21,000
Speaker 2: even blame him. You're just like I, who is this

412
00:22:21,119 --> 00:22:23,640
Speaker 2: FCS receiver lighting up? It was a good Oregon team.

413
00:22:23,640 --> 00:22:25,320
Speaker 2: It was an awful defense, but it was a good

414
00:22:25,320 --> 00:22:29,560
Speaker 2: Oregon team that season. And Connor Cup call him connor Cup.

415
00:22:29,600 --> 00:22:31,960
Speaker 2: Half the game. Our friend Yogi Roth also on the call.

416
00:22:33,119 --> 00:22:36,119
Speaker 2: He's a fully unstoppable force in that game, Cooper Cup,

417
00:22:36,560 --> 00:22:39,760
Speaker 2: And to nobody's surprise, he was incredible for the Rams

418
00:22:39,760 --> 00:22:41,440
Speaker 2: and is now very good for the Seahawks. And it's

419
00:22:41,440 --> 00:22:45,000
Speaker 2: cool that he's playing in his home state. But yeah,

420
00:22:45,000 --> 00:22:47,240
Speaker 2: he was. He was a tiny high school kid. He

421
00:22:47,280 --> 00:22:50,399
Speaker 2: was overlooked because of size. He peaked late, but just

422
00:22:50,520 --> 00:22:53,479
Speaker 2: an absurd, absurd college football talent who would have thrived

423
00:22:53,520 --> 00:22:54,639
Speaker 2: no matter where he played.

424
00:22:54,880 --> 00:22:55,760
Speaker 1: Yeah, oh my gosh.

425
00:22:55,880 --> 00:22:59,520
Speaker 2: Yeah, another big college name. By the way, just in

426
00:22:59,600 --> 00:23:03,359
Speaker 2: terms of affecting the national scene, Kenneth Walker is I

427
00:23:03,440 --> 00:23:04,600
Speaker 2: think the starting running.

428
00:23:04,320 --> 00:23:07,720
Speaker 1: Back for the Walk and the third man. I I

429
00:23:08,880 --> 00:23:13,520
Speaker 1: got a tip that I should bet the over on

430
00:23:14,400 --> 00:23:17,840
Speaker 1: Kenneth Walker rushing yards. I think it won. It might

431
00:23:17,880 --> 00:23:19,520
Speaker 1: have been the NFC Championship, it might have been the

432
00:23:19,560 --> 00:23:22,159
Speaker 1: game before that, and I was sweating it out for

433
00:23:22,160 --> 00:23:25,680
Speaker 1: a little bit, but it eventually came through. He always

434
00:23:25,920 --> 00:23:29,359
Speaker 1: I remember back to what he did at Michigan State.

435
00:23:30,320 --> 00:23:32,960
Speaker 1: I don't remember him being this fast at Michigan State,

436
00:23:33,119 --> 00:23:35,520
Speaker 1: although I'm sure he's not any slower now than he

437
00:23:35,600 --> 00:23:39,280
Speaker 1: was fast enough, tie faster than anybody chasing you. Yeah,

438
00:23:39,280 --> 00:23:42,240
Speaker 1: what strikes me. And I mean we knew, we knew

439
00:23:42,240 --> 00:23:44,040
Speaker 1: in college that he was going to end up being

440
00:23:44,080 --> 00:23:46,000
Speaker 1: a good pro because he was very much the catalyst

441
00:23:46,040 --> 00:23:47,920
Speaker 1: for that Michigan State team and they had a really

442
00:23:47,920 --> 00:23:52,440
Speaker 1: good year. But what really strikes me in watching him

443
00:23:52,480 --> 00:23:57,480
Speaker 1: so far throughout the playoffs this year a very much

444
00:23:57,480 --> 00:24:01,720
Speaker 1: a downhill runner. B dude's got moves. Yeah he's I mean,

445
00:24:01,760 --> 00:24:06,320
Speaker 1: he's not Saquon, but he's got moves. He's a downhill runner.

446
00:24:06,720 --> 00:24:09,400
Speaker 1: And I think the ability for him to be used

447
00:24:09,440 --> 00:24:12,639
Speaker 1: out of the backfield in the passing game is going

448
00:24:12,680 --> 00:24:14,960
Speaker 1: to be something that has a major influence on this game.

449
00:24:14,960 --> 00:24:17,680
Speaker 1: Because New England plays a run pretty well, they really do.

450
00:24:18,240 --> 00:24:20,560
Speaker 1: But Kenneth Walker has shown I think it's like nine

451
00:24:20,600 --> 00:24:26,359
Speaker 1: point one yards per reception so far this year twenty

452
00:24:26,440 --> 00:24:28,959
Speaker 1: some odd catches out of the backfield. It wouldn't surprise

453
00:24:29,040 --> 00:24:31,560
Speaker 1: me at all, at least based on the numbers I

454
00:24:31,640 --> 00:24:34,080
Speaker 1: saw if they end up using him a little bit

455
00:24:34,080 --> 00:24:36,520
Speaker 1: more out of the backfield in this game against New

456
00:24:36,520 --> 00:24:38,200
Speaker 1: England because they are so good upfront.

457
00:24:39,080 --> 00:24:41,120
Speaker 2: Can I tell you why he has to have good

458
00:24:41,160 --> 00:24:46,040
Speaker 2: moves because he began his career at Wake Forest where

459
00:24:46,040 --> 00:24:50,560
Speaker 2: he had to start his runs from a stroll running

460
00:24:50,560 --> 00:24:54,199
Speaker 2: the slow mesh the Dave flosson slow mesh, and so

461
00:24:54,920 --> 00:24:57,159
Speaker 2: he was great at Wake Forest. He got like a

462
00:24:57,240 --> 00:24:59,520
Speaker 2: late offer to play at wake Forest. I think he

463
00:24:59,560 --> 00:25:03,440
Speaker 2: was committed to Kent State. Tiny dude, and so he's

464
00:25:03,440 --> 00:25:07,560
Speaker 2: a MAC level recruit until Wake came in and transfers

465
00:25:07,600 --> 00:25:13,520
Speaker 2: to Michigan State. Basically drags Michigan State to an incredible season.

466
00:25:13,960 --> 00:25:16,240
Speaker 2: I mean it's a Peyton Thorn team. At quarterback, he's

467
00:25:16,280 --> 00:25:19,560
Speaker 2: not incredible. I mean they're pretty good at receiver. Obviously

468
00:25:19,560 --> 00:25:22,720
Speaker 2: the defense came to play. But offensively, what he was

469
00:25:22,760 --> 00:25:26,760
Speaker 2: able to do just lighting teams up incredible and they

470
00:25:26,760 --> 00:25:29,360
Speaker 2: get they do get murdered by that Ohio State team. Yes,

471
00:25:29,600 --> 00:25:31,200
Speaker 2: at the end of the year fifty six to seven.

472
00:25:31,240 --> 00:25:34,000
Speaker 2: Then they're basically just practicing against air against that year's

473
00:25:34,040 --> 00:25:37,119
Speaker 2: Michigan State team. But he was incredible against Michigan that

474
00:25:37,160 --> 00:25:40,040
Speaker 2: season in a win over Michigan in just like one

475
00:25:40,080 --> 00:25:44,359
Speaker 2: of the most comically terrible quarterback game between Peyton Thorn

476
00:25:44,400 --> 00:25:47,560
Speaker 2: and Cade McNamara and fumbles and J. J. McCarthy's in

477
00:25:47,600 --> 00:25:51,000
Speaker 2: there for a minute fumbling. They win that game. He's

478
00:25:51,000 --> 00:25:53,560
Speaker 2: incredible in that game, ops out and they still beat

479
00:25:53,680 --> 00:25:58,080
Speaker 2: Pitt and run for like nothing without Kenneth Walker and

480
00:25:58,119 --> 00:26:01,320
Speaker 2: still beat Pitt. And that's you know, Kenny Pickett, Jordan

481
00:26:01,359 --> 00:26:04,200
Speaker 2: Addison pit team, and Jordan Adison leaves the following spring

482
00:26:04,520 --> 00:26:08,239
Speaker 2: to USC. But I don't know how much money of

483
00:26:08,280 --> 00:26:11,320
Speaker 2: that reported ninety five million dollar contract, Mel Tucker was

484
00:26:11,320 --> 00:26:14,399
Speaker 2: able to take home. Most of that is because of

485
00:26:14,480 --> 00:26:16,399
Speaker 2: Kenneth Walker and what he was able to do that

486
00:26:16,520 --> 00:26:20,000
Speaker 2: season for the Spartans. An incredible talent in college and

487
00:26:20,280 --> 00:26:22,679
Speaker 2: just I watched back some of the Wake Forest clips

488
00:26:22,720 --> 00:26:24,480
Speaker 2: and just like, oh my god, how could you do

489
00:26:24,640 --> 00:26:26,360
Speaker 2: this to him?

490
00:26:26,520 --> 00:26:28,639
Speaker 1: But he was awesome. He was just plain old awesome.

491
00:26:29,840 --> 00:26:32,520
Speaker 1: I remembered him in college. He was incredible. He was

492
00:26:32,560 --> 00:26:36,200
Speaker 1: such a such a talent and such a revelation for

493
00:26:36,320 --> 00:26:38,600
Speaker 1: Michigan State coming up from Wake Forest it's.

494
00:26:38,480 --> 00:26:42,520
Speaker 2: Pretty Yes, Seattle is starting not one, but two North

495
00:26:42,560 --> 00:26:45,840
Speaker 2: Dakota State Bison on the inside of their offensive line,

496
00:26:46,840 --> 00:26:50,760
Speaker 2: Jalen Sundell and Greysabel. Sundell was undrafted, Zabel was a

497
00:26:50,840 --> 00:26:53,879
Speaker 2: high pick for the Seahawks at left guard.

498
00:26:54,080 --> 00:26:58,760
Speaker 1: And is here a rookie? Isabel? Gray'sabel, I believe is

499
00:26:58,800 --> 00:27:00,520
Speaker 1: a rookie. Yes, he's here.

500
00:27:00,800 --> 00:27:03,560
Speaker 2: He's twenty three years old, he's got a good mustache,

501
00:27:04,000 --> 00:27:08,520
Speaker 2: he's six six, everything you want, ty, And yeah, there

502
00:27:08,560 --> 00:27:11,439
Speaker 2: were a Jalen Sundell's from his high school. The name

503
00:27:11,440 --> 00:27:15,080
Speaker 2: of his high school mascot in Maryville, Missouri was the

504
00:27:15,200 --> 00:27:19,159
Speaker 2: spoof Hounds. Don't know what that is, poof hounds. Okay,

505
00:27:19,200 --> 00:27:21,000
Speaker 2: the spoof Hounds of Maryville.

506
00:27:21,040 --> 00:27:22,879
Speaker 1: Moe so.

507
00:27:23,119 --> 00:27:25,040
Speaker 2: And he got offers, And we've seen a couple of

508
00:27:25,040 --> 00:27:28,960
Speaker 2: North Dakota State dudes get offers to play higher level football,

509
00:27:29,680 --> 00:27:32,560
Speaker 2: but these guys stuck around North Dakota State. Sundell won

510
00:27:32,600 --> 00:27:38,000
Speaker 2: three national championships. Gray is able only won two. Jalen

511
00:27:38,040 --> 00:27:40,800
Speaker 2: Sundell's little sister is a professional basketball player as well.

512
00:27:42,200 --> 00:27:44,920
Speaker 2: Elsewhere on the Seahawks. A. J. Barner wasn't a huge

513
00:27:45,000 --> 00:27:47,719
Speaker 2: name in college. He was Michigan's second quartern or second

514
00:27:48,040 --> 00:27:51,760
Speaker 2: tight end, AJ Barner after transferring in from Indiana, but

515
00:27:51,880 --> 00:27:53,919
Speaker 2: with just wreck dudes as a blocking tight end. So

516
00:27:54,000 --> 00:27:58,000
Speaker 2: Jim Harbaugh was deeply in love with him.

517
00:27:58,760 --> 00:27:59,119
Speaker 1: I don't know.

518
00:27:59,160 --> 00:28:01,960
Speaker 2: On defense, there's a lot of names we're gonna remember.

519
00:28:02,000 --> 00:28:06,159
Speaker 2: DeMarcus Lawrence was awesome for Boise State. Didn't have the

520
00:28:06,200 --> 00:28:10,119
Speaker 2: grades to get in to an FBS school out of

521
00:28:10,200 --> 00:28:12,160
Speaker 2: high school and so went the Juco route and then

522
00:28:12,280 --> 00:28:16,679
Speaker 2: was just an absolute murdering machine for Boise Byron Murphy

523
00:28:16,760 --> 00:28:19,040
Speaker 2: was a Baylor commit for a while and then absolutely

524
00:28:19,119 --> 00:28:23,880
Speaker 2: dominated at Texas. Scored a touchdown both rushing and receiving

525
00:28:23,960 --> 00:28:28,800
Speaker 2: as a defensive tackle. So I appreciate that Leonard Williams

526
00:28:28,960 --> 00:28:34,040
Speaker 2: was too big to play Pop Warner football to the surprise,

527
00:28:35,119 --> 00:28:37,720
Speaker 2: you know, I don't. I don't have the opportunity to

528
00:28:37,800 --> 00:28:39,760
Speaker 2: tell people stories like that, Like, yeah, I would have

529
00:28:39,760 --> 00:28:43,360
Speaker 2: played Pop Warner, but I was too large. The limit

530
00:28:43,400 --> 00:28:44,880
Speaker 2: was one hundred and eighty pounds and he weighed in

531
00:28:44,920 --> 00:28:48,680
Speaker 2: at a clean two bills. So Leonard Williams was How

532
00:28:48,680 --> 00:28:52,640
Speaker 2: old is he? How old is this younger than you think?

533
00:28:52,840 --> 00:28:53,040
Speaker 1: You know?

534
00:28:53,120 --> 00:28:56,560
Speaker 2: Ten years old, eleven years old two hundred pounds, yeah clean,

535
00:28:56,600 --> 00:29:01,200
Speaker 2: two bills, Yeah it was. He's from the West Coast originally,

536
00:29:01,200 --> 00:29:04,160
Speaker 2: but played high school football in Florida at Oorjeran fell

537
00:29:04,200 --> 00:29:07,320
Speaker 2: absolutely head over heels for him, and he was like, yeah,

538
00:29:07,360 --> 00:29:09,520
Speaker 2: I'm a defensive end. I'm not a defensive tackle. And

539
00:29:09,560 --> 00:29:11,840
Speaker 2: then as a freshman, I mean he played different spots

540
00:29:11,840 --> 00:29:13,760
Speaker 2: at the defensive line. They're just like, you can play

541
00:29:13,800 --> 00:29:15,960
Speaker 2: whatever you want, and he just went in and dominated

542
00:29:15,960 --> 00:29:19,160
Speaker 2: immediately at USC was awesome and has been a very

543
00:29:19,160 --> 00:29:25,320
Speaker 2: good NFL player. Uchennan Wosu also USC. He's always funny

544
00:29:25,320 --> 00:29:28,320
Speaker 2: when somebody is in like a star edge in college

545
00:29:28,360 --> 00:29:31,959
Speaker 2: and they come in as a safety. He ran hot

546
00:29:32,080 --> 00:29:33,480
Speaker 2: like all of us at times.

547
00:29:33,520 --> 00:29:34,080
Speaker 1: Tie sure.

548
00:29:34,160 --> 00:29:37,440
Speaker 2: He was sent home from Holiday Bowl practices for getting

549
00:29:37,480 --> 00:29:41,240
Speaker 2: in a fight. Didn't enroll that spring at USC. Had

550
00:29:41,240 --> 00:29:44,640
Speaker 2: a change of heart, sort of credits Clay Helton for

551
00:29:44,760 --> 00:29:47,520
Speaker 2: getting his head on straight. And I think he played

552
00:29:47,600 --> 00:29:49,600
Speaker 2: high school college. He was drafted by the Chargers, so

553
00:29:49,640 --> 00:29:51,200
Speaker 2: he was all LA all the time.

554
00:29:51,400 --> 00:29:51,520
Speaker 1: Right.

555
00:29:51,600 --> 00:29:55,920
Speaker 2: He's now with the Seahawks. But a great story and

556
00:29:56,360 --> 00:30:00,000
Speaker 2: just a wrecking ball in college. Again in a downtime

557
00:30:00,040 --> 00:30:04,400
Speaker 2: for USC. He was absolutely a bright spot. Drake Thomas,

558
00:30:04,520 --> 00:30:06,920
Speaker 2: the weak sidelinebacker for the Seahawks, was just a tackling

559
00:30:06,960 --> 00:30:09,240
Speaker 2: machine with a great head of hair for NC State,

560
00:30:09,760 --> 00:30:10,880
Speaker 2: had big time offers.

561
00:30:11,280 --> 00:30:13,320
Speaker 1: The head of hair, yeah yeah, and.

562
00:30:13,680 --> 00:30:16,800
Speaker 2: Was just he was like he's from North Carolina, went

563
00:30:16,840 --> 00:30:19,160
Speaker 2: to n C State and was like just an all

564
00:30:19,160 --> 00:30:24,280
Speaker 2: time tackling machine for NC State. Devin Witherspoon, I think

565
00:30:24,440 --> 00:30:30,080
Speaker 2: probably weighed less than you did in high school. Devin

566
00:30:30,080 --> 00:30:33,600
Speaker 2: Witherspoon only played high school football because he promised his

567
00:30:33,680 --> 00:30:37,120
Speaker 2: mom he would give it a shot. Weighed nothing, wasn't

568
00:30:37,160 --> 00:30:41,160
Speaker 2: academically eligible until he enrolled at junior college, got his

569
00:30:41,320 --> 00:30:45,440
Speaker 2: SAT scores. Lovey Smith was his only big offer and

570
00:30:45,760 --> 00:30:49,040
Speaker 2: went to Illinois. Played basically immediately and by the time

571
00:30:49,080 --> 00:30:52,520
Speaker 2: he played all four years, gained like twenty five pounds.

572
00:30:52,640 --> 00:30:54,360
Speaker 2: Talked about he was like, if I skipped a meal,

573
00:30:54,400 --> 00:30:57,320
Speaker 2: I would lose three pounds. So he was just constantly

574
00:30:57,320 --> 00:31:00,920
Speaker 2: eating at Illinois, locking dudes down and eating food. That's

575
00:31:00,960 --> 00:31:03,960
Speaker 2: a pretty good life and was selected in the top ten.

576
00:31:04,360 --> 00:31:07,520
Speaker 1: Number five overall pick in twenty twenty three, was the

577
00:31:07,640 --> 00:31:10,680
Speaker 1: number five overall pick. It's just a great by the way,

578
00:31:10,760 --> 00:31:13,800
Speaker 1: that is a crazy story to get to be a

579
00:31:13,800 --> 00:31:19,000
Speaker 1: top five pick. Yes, that is an absolutely mind blowing thing. Yeah,

580
00:31:19,000 --> 00:31:20,360
Speaker 1: I think he go ahead.

581
00:31:20,600 --> 00:31:22,800
Speaker 2: I was gonna say he came into college like freshman year,

582
00:31:22,840 --> 00:31:24,520
Speaker 2: he was like one hundred and forty eight pounds and

583
00:31:24,560 --> 00:31:25,880
Speaker 2: people are like, what are you.

584
00:31:25,880 --> 00:31:26,320
Speaker 1: Here to do?

585
00:31:26,480 --> 00:31:30,520
Speaker 2: Exactly as he was putting his uniform on. But yes,

586
00:31:30,680 --> 00:31:34,080
Speaker 2: to go from he was, I'm clearly a monster athlete.

587
00:31:34,120 --> 00:31:35,880
Speaker 2: He was a very good basketball player in high school,

588
00:31:36,560 --> 00:31:39,600
Speaker 2: but yeah, didn't have offers, both because of academics and

589
00:31:40,840 --> 00:31:42,920
Speaker 2: like didn't play until his junior year of high school.

590
00:31:44,000 --> 00:31:46,880
Speaker 2: Julian Love, I'm sure you can speak to Yeah, he's

591
00:31:47,000 --> 00:31:52,040
Speaker 2: from the Chicagoland area. Was just terrific at Notre Dame.

592
00:31:52,120 --> 00:31:54,080
Speaker 2: Was one of the more dependable players in the nation

593
00:31:54,440 --> 00:31:56,360
Speaker 2: at Notre Dame in that secondary I think he was

594
00:31:56,400 --> 00:31:57,440
Speaker 2: drafted by the Giants.

595
00:31:57,520 --> 00:31:57,800
Speaker 1: Yep.

596
00:31:57,840 --> 00:31:59,840
Speaker 2: But I'm not going to say he was boring. But

597
00:31:59,880 --> 00:32:01,680
Speaker 2: he he was just like excellent, got a bunch of

598
00:32:01,680 --> 00:32:05,200
Speaker 2: big ten offers, and was an absolute rock for Notre Dame.

599
00:32:05,360 --> 00:32:07,040
Speaker 1: Yep, that's basically it.

600
00:32:07,160 --> 00:32:12,000
Speaker 2: Yeah, Kobe Bryant had basically no big offers and was

601
00:32:12,080 --> 00:32:16,320
Speaker 2: named after Kobe Bryant. Was great for Cincinnati, was I

602
00:32:16,360 --> 00:32:20,120
Speaker 2: believe a corner in college plays safety for the Seahawks,

603
00:32:20,280 --> 00:32:22,120
Speaker 2: but Sauce Gardner gets more of the attention.

604
00:32:22,240 --> 00:32:24,959
Speaker 1: But Kobe Bryant was really good. I mean, that's it

605
00:32:25,000 --> 00:32:27,280
Speaker 1: was Sauce Gardner. Was Kobe Bryant on that team that

606
00:32:27,320 --> 00:32:28,160
Speaker 1: went to the playoffs.

607
00:32:28,520 --> 00:32:31,800
Speaker 2: When you are Cincinnati and not playing at a major conference,

608
00:32:32,160 --> 00:32:36,560
Speaker 2: but have NFL corners clear NFL corners, that's different.

609
00:32:36,680 --> 00:32:37,480
Speaker 1: That's unique.

610
00:32:37,640 --> 00:32:40,440
Speaker 2: That's you know, Luke Fickle and Marcus Freeman and the

611
00:32:40,440 --> 00:32:43,560
Speaker 2: defensive staff for Cincinnati, but has come through in a

612
00:32:43,560 --> 00:32:48,400
Speaker 2: big way for the Seahawks. Tariq or Riek Wollen Apparently

613
00:32:48,440 --> 00:32:51,840
Speaker 2: Seahawks fans have a very mixed relationship with him. He's

614
00:32:51,840 --> 00:32:55,240
Speaker 2: gotten three taunting calls this season, including one against the

615
00:32:55,280 --> 00:32:58,520
Speaker 2: Rams that he taunted after getting off the field on

616
00:32:58,600 --> 00:33:00,880
Speaker 2: a third down and then the Rams got a first

617
00:33:00,920 --> 00:33:04,360
Speaker 2: down and immediately threw a touchdown over his head. Six'

618
00:33:04,520 --> 00:33:08,640
Speaker 2: five corner at utsa and exhibited one of the absolute

619
00:33:08,760 --> 00:33:12,000
Speaker 2: best qualities you can have for anybody in the, secondary

620
00:33:12,480 --> 00:33:17,040

723
00:38:54,800 --> 00:38:57,920
Speaker 1: Ric flair but a lots out there about. Their friendship

724
00:38:58,560 --> 00:39:01,239
Speaker 1: there was actually a piece recent published just a few

725
00:39:01,320 --> 00:39:05,359
Speaker 1: days Ago In The Athletic luke fickle talking about his

726
00:39:05,440 --> 00:39:09,279
Speaker 1: Relationship With mike rabel and how he always knew he

727
00:39:09,280 --> 00:39:11,120
Speaker 1: would go on to be a. Great coach he's a leader.

728
00:39:11,160 --> 00:39:12,879
Speaker 1: Of man all the things that you've heard, by now

729
00:39:12,920 --> 00:39:15,880
Speaker 1: but the thing that comes up a lot when you

730
00:39:15,920 --> 00:39:19,200
Speaker 1: Read about rabel is his willingness to tell it the way,

731
00:39:19,200 --> 00:39:23,800
Speaker 1: it is and you can imagine how as a football

732
00:39:23,840 --> 00:39:27,680
Speaker 1: coach that goes a. Long way he's not out there to.

733
00:39:27,719 --> 00:39:30,360
Speaker 1: Appease people he's not out there to tell people what

734
00:39:30,400 --> 00:39:33,280
Speaker 1: they want. To hear he's. Very direct he tells people

735
00:39:33,280 --> 00:39:36,280
Speaker 1: what they need. To hear and so that maybe above,

736
00:39:36,320 --> 00:39:38,560
Speaker 1: all else Is Why new england is a very, disciplined

737
00:39:38,600 --> 00:39:42,360
Speaker 1: Team Why new england has seen an incredible. Turnaround story

738
00:39:42,880 --> 00:39:45,120
Speaker 1: they're fourteen. AND three i believe they lost thirteen or

739
00:39:45,120 --> 00:39:49,360
Speaker 1: fourteen games a. Year ago so this is definitely a

740
00:39:49,400 --> 00:39:52,680
Speaker 1: story that's going to be written deep into history Books

741
00:39:52,719 --> 00:39:55,000
Speaker 1: For New england patriots fans and REALLY the nfl as.

742
00:39:55,040 --> 00:39:58,160
Speaker 1: A whole this turnaround story has been due in no

743
00:39:58,280 --> 00:40:01,640
Speaker 1: small part to the the mentality in the Culture that

744
00:40:01,760 --> 00:40:04,080
Speaker 1: frabel has put into place in very. Short order this

745
00:40:04,120 --> 00:40:07,959
Speaker 1: is only his first year coaching, this team so thus

746
00:40:08,000 --> 00:40:11,719
Speaker 1: far it looks like the coaching hire of Last Offseason.

747
00:40:12,400 --> 00:40:14,839
Speaker 1: Newland Patriots Bringing mike rabel back home was a very.

748
00:40:14,840 --> 00:40:15,200
Speaker 1: Big deal.

749
00:40:16,480 --> 00:40:20,280
Speaker 2: Full circle by, The Way rick flair briefly was thinking

750
00:40:20,280 --> 00:40:23,399
Speaker 2: about playing football At the University, of michigan so Him,

751
00:40:23,480 --> 00:40:28,320
Speaker 2: in columbus the Connection to Raybel and mike McDonald's Connection

752
00:40:28,440 --> 00:40:29,960
Speaker 2: to michigan college football is.

753
00:40:30,000 --> 00:40:37,000
Speaker 1: Never. Over continue Quarterback Is, drake may second year player OUT.

754
00:40:37,040 --> 00:40:43,480
Speaker 1: Of Unc the mays are Royalty At. North carolina his

755
00:40:43,560 --> 00:40:46,560
Speaker 1: dad played quarterback there his. Three brothers his Older brother

756
00:40:46,680 --> 00:40:50,000
Speaker 1: luke played basketball hit a game winning shot with point

757
00:40:50,080 --> 00:40:53,160
Speaker 1: three seconds left back in twenty seventeen To beat kentucky

758
00:40:53,160 --> 00:40:56,040
Speaker 1: In the. ELITE eight i actually remember THAT because I

759
00:40:56,040 --> 00:40:59,960
Speaker 1: think I Had north carolina in one Of My March madness. Survivor,

760
00:41:00,080 --> 00:41:02,640
Speaker 1: pools OKAY so i was screaming AT the tv with.

761
00:41:02,719 --> 00:41:06,600
Speaker 1: That one one of his, Older brothers bo walked onto the.

762
00:41:06,600 --> 00:41:09,560
Speaker 1: Basketball team and he's got, Another, brother cole who pitched

763
00:41:09,640 --> 00:41:13,279
Speaker 1: for the Twenty Seventeen, florida gators the baseball team which

764
00:41:13,400 --> 00:41:17,720
Speaker 1: also won a. National championship so suffice to say comes

765
00:41:17,719 --> 00:41:21,040
Speaker 1: from a family. Of athletes clearly he has risen to

766
00:41:21,440 --> 00:41:25,319
Speaker 1: a completely different stratosphere relative to, his family but all

767
00:41:25,360 --> 00:41:28,800
Speaker 1: of them are very. Very talented drake himself with a

768
00:41:28,880 --> 00:41:32,400
Speaker 1: very talented basketball player and was a recruit as a,

769
00:41:32,440 --> 00:41:36,000
Speaker 1: basketball player but obviously chose to go, with football and

770
00:41:36,040 --> 00:41:40,120
Speaker 1: that has proven to be a rather. Wise choice he

771
00:41:40,160 --> 00:41:44,080
Speaker 1: Committed To, Nick, Saban right i'm glad now you cut, You. Off, pond, no, no,

Speaker 1: In hindsight but Back To. Drake, may okay there were

837
00:45:29,480 --> 00:45:31,960
Speaker 1: a lot of Highlights Of drake may in his time

838
00:45:32,480 --> 00:45:34,920
Speaker 1: As A north. Carolina quarterback the one that comes, to

839
00:45:34,960 --> 00:45:36,880
Speaker 1: mind and you may recall this because wasn't all that.

840
00:45:36,880 --> 00:45:39,600
Speaker 1: Long agoes back in twenty, twenty three there was a

841
00:45:39,640 --> 00:45:42,920
Speaker 1: Game Against pitt they're down in the, red zone he's completely.

842
00:45:42,920 --> 00:45:45,239
Speaker 1: Wrapped up he puts the ball in his left hand

843
00:45:45,280 --> 00:45:47,480
Speaker 1: because he spots a receiver open in the. End zone

844
00:45:48,040 --> 00:45:50,520
Speaker 1: throws what amounts to an end over end wounded duck

845
00:45:51,400 --> 00:45:55,600
Speaker 1: to a wide open receiver lefty to score, the touchdown

846
00:45:55,920 --> 00:45:57,279
Speaker 1: and it was one of those deals where he did

847
00:45:57,320 --> 00:45:58,759
Speaker 1: it and then he looks at his left, hand like

848
00:45:58,800 --> 00:46:00,279
Speaker 1: HOW did i just? Do that like a he didn't

849
00:46:00,280 --> 00:46:03,520
Speaker 1: even know that he could, do that but that one comes.

850
00:46:03,520 --> 00:46:05,880
Speaker 1: To mind there was also a moment where he got in.

851
00:46:05,960 --> 00:46:09,799
Speaker 1: Hot Water drake may is like the most non, controversial

852
00:46:09,840 --> 00:46:13,919
Speaker 1: player but there was a moment in twenty twenty two

853
00:46:14,680 --> 00:46:20,440
Speaker 1: where rivalry upcoming About the it was a game AGAINST

854
00:46:20,560 --> 00:46:24,560
Speaker 1: N c state and he makes a comment saying that

855
00:46:24,600 --> 00:46:27,040
Speaker 1: people who Go to state can't Get into carolina and

856
00:46:27,080 --> 00:46:28,759
Speaker 1: it was a. Big deal it was a. Big deal

857
00:46:29,120 --> 00:46:31,560
Speaker 1: that shows you how non controversy he. Actually is that

858
00:46:31,560 --> 00:46:34,680
Speaker 1: that would get a rise out, of anybody but eventually

859
00:46:34,760 --> 00:46:37,880
Speaker 1: apologized it was a. Whole thing and, you know obviously

860
00:46:37,960 --> 00:46:41,640
Speaker 1: now he was a third. Overall pick he's playing at

861
00:46:41,640 --> 00:46:44,600
Speaker 1: points this season was showing signs of BEING an mvp.

862
00:46:44,719 --> 00:46:48,360
Speaker 1: Caliber quarterback may get there at, some point, But Yeah

863
00:46:48,480 --> 00:46:49,960
Speaker 1: drake may Ends.

864
00:46:49,880 --> 00:46:52,399
Speaker 2: Up jaden daniels, between Them Between caleb Williams And, drake

865
00:46:52,440 --> 00:46:52,880
Speaker 2: may is that what?

866
00:46:52,920 --> 00:46:57,640

867
00:46:57,640 --> 00:46:59,799
Speaker 1: Including my giants tried to trade up to, get him,

868
00:47:00,400 --> 00:47:04,200
Speaker 1: but they, you know everybody Knew That drake may was

869

00:47:07,040 --> 00:47:08,160
Speaker 1: them and now they're back In The.

871
00:47:08,160 --> 00:47:12,440
Speaker 2: Super BOWL what i also remember is both It Was

872
00:47:12,520 --> 00:47:14,960
Speaker 2: caleb Williams And, drake may like that was the conversation for,

873
00:47:14,960 --> 00:47:16,879
Speaker 2: a While and Jade and daniels obviously peaked and Winning

874
00:47:16,880 --> 00:47:19,760
Speaker 2: the heisman and everything. LIKE that i remember seeing Guys

875
00:47:19,800 --> 00:47:22,880
Speaker 2: Like nate tice and draft analysts, saying like we're Pretty

876
00:47:22,920 --> 00:47:26,240
Speaker 2: Sure drake may. Is awesome we're Pretty Sure caleb williams.

877
00:47:26,280 --> 00:47:30,960
Speaker 2: Is awesome but they're playing behind such garbage offensive lines,

878
00:47:31,040 --> 00:47:34,040
Speaker 2: exactly right that it's nearly impossible to get a full

879
00:47:34,160 --> 00:47:37,000
Speaker 2: sense of what they could do if they had time

880
00:47:37,040 --> 00:47:39,719
Speaker 2: to go. Through progressions, and Obviously Like, caleb williams, you

881
00:47:39,760 --> 00:47:42,799
Speaker 2: know used his legs to buy time and still, does

882
00:47:42,880 --> 00:47:45,480
Speaker 2: Obviously And drake may is very athletic. As well but

883
00:47:45,560 --> 00:47:47,960
Speaker 2: there was that like idea, of like it'd be really

884
00:47:48,040 --> 00:47:50,160
Speaker 2: nice if they could step into a pocket and go,

885
00:47:50,200 --> 00:47:54,239
Speaker 2: through progressions but their offensive lines are so horrid that.

886
00:47:54,280 --> 00:47:56,839
Speaker 1: They, can't yeah and and actually that will be an

887
00:47:56,880 --> 00:48:01,480
Speaker 1: interesting thing to follow in. This, game notably Rookie Tackle

888
00:48:01,480 --> 00:48:04,640
Speaker 1: will campbell has not had a good, postseason no AND

889
00:48:04,760 --> 00:48:08,480
Speaker 1: his pff grades have been extremely low thus far through

890
00:48:08,480 --> 00:48:10,800
Speaker 1: this playoff run here For. The patriots it'll be interesting

891
00:48:10,800 --> 00:48:14,120
Speaker 1: to see how Or if seattle can take advantage. Of

892
00:48:14,120 --> 00:48:16,640
Speaker 1: that and what's weird to try to See Me brank

893
00:48:16,719 --> 00:48:19,680
Speaker 1: kelly is such a legendary offensive line NAME in, lsu,

894
00:48:19,760 --> 00:48:24,160
Speaker 1: circles RIGHT that lsu offensive. Line development to have that

895
00:48:24,280 --> 00:48:26,880
Speaker 1: many guys off OF that lsu line get drafted but

896
00:48:27,000 --> 00:48:29,719
Speaker 1: never really play that, well together at least not as

897
00:48:29,760 --> 00:48:32,680
Speaker 1: a run, blocking unit is definitely going to be something

898
00:48:32,680 --> 00:48:34,040
Speaker 1: that we're going to need to look back on On

899
00:48:34,040 --> 00:48:36,839
Speaker 1: The brian kelly Regime In. Baton rouge look a BUNCH

900
00:48:36,840 --> 00:48:38,400
Speaker 1: of i think a couple of the dudes hit the

901
00:48:38,400 --> 00:48:42,120
Speaker 1: portal and like we're in. High demand that people are

902
00:48:42,280 --> 00:48:45,080
Speaker 1: just CONVINCED that lsu was not a place to develop

903
00:48:45,080 --> 00:48:46,839
Speaker 1: as an offensive, line now but we can we can,

904
00:48:46,920 --> 00:48:50,680
Speaker 1: change them. All right some other interesting Factoids About new

905
00:48:50,719 --> 00:48:55,120

Speaker 1: there really a, stute player was good as a pass,

912
00:49:16,480 --> 00:49:19,080
Speaker 1: Blocker right you could count on him to just do the.

913
00:49:19,160 --> 00:49:22,000
Speaker 1: Right thing there were tells that that he was going

914
00:49:22,080 --> 00:49:24,800
Speaker 1: to be this player dating back to. High school obviously

915
00:49:24,840 --> 00:49:27,160

Speaker 1: From Maryland how maryland kind of gets the one big recruit.

952
00:51:21,719 --> 00:51:24,319

Speaker 1: moment at midfield in Advance The penn. State, game oh

969
00:52:25,600 --> 00:52:28,200

Speaker 1: Maryland's captains he and the other captains went out there

971
00:52:32,120 --> 00:52:34,759

972
00:52:34,800 --> 00:52:38,919
Speaker 1: Toss okay and this is after there was a little

973
00:52:38,920 --> 00:52:42,840
Speaker 1: bit of a pregame SCUFFLE where I Think stefan diggs

974

00:52:46,520 --> 00:52:50,560
Speaker 1: there was a whole bunch of stuff, going on and

976
00:52:50,600 --> 00:52:52,319
Speaker 1: that kind of gave him a little bit of a bad,

977
00:52:52,320 --> 00:52:55,120
Speaker 1: bloy Reputation which i'm not going to say has been.

979
00:52:59,239 --> 00:53:02,239

1158
01:03:32,640 --> 01:03:34,880
Speaker 1: impact on this GAME because i feel like this game

1159
01:03:34,960 --> 01:03:36,320
Speaker 1: is going to. Be Close and i'll talk about that

1160
01:03:36,360 --> 01:03:39,200
Speaker 1: in a. Little bit the other Thing that i'll add

1161
01:03:39,200 --> 01:03:43,080
Speaker 1: here while we're talking about, special teams the Story Of

1162
01:03:43,160 --> 01:03:47,520
Speaker 1: new England's Punter bryce barringer is. Very interesting he was

1163
01:03:47,560 --> 01:03:50,840
Speaker 1: a walk On At, michigan state initially cut from the

1164
01:03:50,920 --> 01:03:55,680
Speaker 1: team and spent the twenty nineteen season as the team's photographer.

1165
01:03:55,680 --> 01:04:00,800
Speaker 1: And videographer he is one of Us. Dan okay he

1166
01:04:00,840 --> 01:04:04,240
Speaker 1: rejoined the team in twenty twenty and turned into the

1167
01:04:04,280 --> 01:04:08,960
Speaker 1: best putter in, school history holding a career average of

1168
01:04:09,040 --> 01:04:12,840
Speaker 1: forty six yards. Per punt he's also a very. Good

1169
01:04:12,840 --> 01:04:14,800
Speaker 1: golfer he's a plus, one handicap which is a very.

1170
01:04:14,800 --> 01:04:20,160
Speaker 1: Good golfer now we talk about, special teams we talk about.

1171
01:04:20,160 --> 01:04:24,280
Speaker 1: THIS game i did do a deep dive about this.

1172
01:04:24,320 --> 01:04:29,240
Speaker 1: FOOTBALL game i think this is a really interesting mix

1173
01:04:30,040 --> 01:04:32,520
Speaker 1: of all the different factors that YOU and i like

1174
01:04:32,560 --> 01:04:34,720
Speaker 1: to talk about when we preview a college. FOOTBALL game

1175
01:04:35,840 --> 01:04:38,360
Speaker 1: i Think the seahawks are the. Better team they got

1176
01:04:38,360 --> 01:04:40,840
Speaker 1: the best player on the field right NOW In Jsn

1177
01:04:40,920 --> 01:04:45,040
Speaker 1: jackson Smith and jigbow and he's. Basically unstoppable their ability

1178
01:04:45,080 --> 01:04:47,800
Speaker 1: to move the ball through, THE air i think is

1179
01:04:47,840 --> 01:04:50,120
Speaker 1: the difference in. This game AND as i, said earlier

1180
01:04:50,760 --> 01:04:53,480
Speaker 1: my favorite Bed Is kenneth walker over twenty two and

1181
01:04:53,480 --> 01:04:57,439
Speaker 1: a half. Receiving Yards Because new england plays a really

1182
01:04:57,480 --> 01:04:59,920
Speaker 1: tough brand to, RUN defense i think this one's go

1183
01:05:00,080 --> 01:05:01,640
Speaker 1: to be in the Arm Of, sam darnald who has

1184
01:05:01,680 --> 01:05:03,680
Speaker 1: clearly been a revelation since he came over From. The

1185
01:05:03,760 --> 01:05:07,240
Speaker 1: vikings by, The Way sam donald would be the, FIRST player,

1186
01:05:07,600 --> 01:05:10,120
Speaker 1: i believe or at least the first quarterback to Win

1187
01:05:10,160 --> 01:05:13,280
Speaker 1: A super bowl having played for five. Different teams so

1188
01:05:13,560 --> 01:05:16,720
Speaker 1: damn not Winning A super bowl with, five teams but

1189
01:05:16,800 --> 01:05:19,560
Speaker 1: The First super bowl winner two have played quarterback for five.

1190
01:05:19,600 --> 01:05:24,000
Speaker 1: Different teams that. Makes sense also from an advanced, Stats

1191
01:05:24,120 --> 01:05:28,840
Speaker 1: standpoint seattle is also the more. Efficient team they finished

1192
01:05:28,880 --> 01:05:35,240
Speaker 1: with THE highest dvoa defense adjusted value over average since,

1193
01:05:35,520 --> 01:05:41,520
Speaker 1: twenty eighteen very good. On defense my issue, is that

1194
01:05:41,880 --> 01:05:44,400
Speaker 1: and this is something we talked about in this Most

1195
01:05:44,440 --> 01:05:49,000
Speaker 1: Recent national championship Game between Miami. And indiana miami had,

1196
01:05:49,000 --> 01:05:52,920
Speaker 1: the flash there was a lot. Of flash indiana was.

1197
01:05:52,960 --> 01:05:58,360
Speaker 1: More disciplined indiana didn't. Beat itself that ended up being

1198
01:05:58,400 --> 01:06:01,600
Speaker 1: one of the, primary features not just to bug and

1199
01:06:01,640 --> 01:06:05,160
Speaker 1: a big part Of why indiana rose to such heights

1200
01:06:05,160 --> 01:06:09,760
Speaker 1: so Quickly. Under Signetty the pats are. Very disciplined they

1201
01:06:09,800 --> 01:06:14,720
Speaker 1: do not. Beat themselves it scares me a little Bit

1202
01:06:14,720 --> 01:06:17,360
Speaker 1: That mike rabel has been able to frame this game

1203
01:06:17,400 --> 01:06:21,760
Speaker 1: as something of an underdog story For, the patriots who're

1204
01:06:21,760 --> 01:06:25,280
Speaker 1: not used to being, an underdog but. They ARE and,

1205
01:06:26,040 --> 01:06:29,560
Speaker 1: i think taken in, context here it's a team that doesn't.

1206
01:06:29,560 --> 01:06:32,040
Speaker 1: Beat itself it's a team that likes to possess. The

1207
01:06:32,040 --> 01:06:34,480
Speaker 1: football it's very. PHYSICAL team i think they're better on

1208
01:06:34,560 --> 01:06:37,440
Speaker 1: defense than they get. Credit for that to me has

1209
01:06:37,480 --> 01:06:41,640
Speaker 1: the hallmark of a really. Close game seattle brings. THE

1210
01:06:41,640 --> 01:06:44,840
Speaker 1: flash I think seattle's got. BETTER players I think seattle's the.

1211
01:06:44,880 --> 01:06:48,120
Speaker 1: BETTER team I think, seattle WINS but i think. IT'S

1212
01:06:48,120 --> 01:06:50,920
Speaker 1: close i think it's twenty eight to Twenty. Four seahawks

1213
01:06:52,040 --> 01:06:57,720
Speaker 1: Seahawks Win new. England, covers okay that's that's fine. BY

1214
01:06:57,760 --> 01:06:58,120
Speaker 1: me i think.

1215
01:06:58,120 --> 01:07:02,680
Speaker 2: That's fine i'm just there to eat, and enjoy hopefully a.
