1
00:00:01,400 --> 00:00:04,280
Speaker 1: Few deadline trades have made a bigger impact than the

2
00:00:04,320 --> 00:00:07,520
Speaker 1: one for Rashid Shaheed, who just helped the Seahawks win

3
00:00:07,720 --> 00:00:11,639
Speaker 1: their second Lombardi Trophy. But will Shahed and his speed

4
00:00:11,720 --> 00:00:14,880
Speaker 1: be back for seconds in Seattle? We'll ask him when

5
00:00:14,880 --> 00:00:18,360
Speaker 1: the Super Bowl champ joins the show tonight. The NFL

6
00:00:18,400 --> 00:00:21,160
Speaker 1: combine is right around the corner, and there are some

7
00:00:21,280 --> 00:00:25,520
Speaker 1: big men with big talent worth your attention. Mark Ross

8
00:00:25,520 --> 00:00:28,680
Speaker 1: will be here tonight to reveal his favorite defensive lineman

9
00:00:28,960 --> 00:00:32,680
Speaker 1: and who can really help themselves. Next week in Indianapolis,

10
00:00:33,159 --> 00:00:36,440
Speaker 1: it's almost free agency time too. We'll break down some

11
00:00:36,479 --> 00:00:39,199
Speaker 1: of the most prominent names from the AFC tonight that

12
00:00:39,280 --> 00:00:43,559
Speaker 1: could be switching teams, getting tagged, or maybe cashing in

13
00:00:43,680 --> 00:00:48,600
Speaker 1: at home. Welcome Inside with the Insiders alongside Jenny Batiste,

14
00:00:48,920 --> 00:00:53,560
Speaker 1: I am Tom Pelicero. Three weeks from today, the league

15
00:00:53,640 --> 00:00:57,600
Speaker 1: year will officially begin. The free agent signing period will

16
00:00:57,600 --> 00:01:00,400
Speaker 1: be underway, and there are some teams right now that

17
00:01:00,520 --> 00:01:03,040
Speaker 1: have a whole lot of cap clearing to do in

18
00:01:03,160 --> 00:01:05,520
Speaker 1: order for them to go and pursue those guys that

19
00:01:05,560 --> 00:01:08,360
Speaker 1: they really want to bring in. That certainly includes the

20
00:01:08,440 --> 00:01:11,240
Speaker 1: Kansas City Chiefs who were more than fifty million dollars

21
00:01:11,360 --> 00:01:14,479
Speaker 1: over the cap for twenty twenty six before they did

22
00:01:14,520 --> 00:01:17,920
Speaker 1: their annual restructure on Patrick Mahomes contract, converting more than

23
00:01:17,920 --> 00:01:20,520
Speaker 1: fifty four million in salary and bonus money to a

24
00:01:20,560 --> 00:01:23,960
Speaker 1: fully guaranteed roster bonus in a maneuver that clears over

25
00:01:24,040 --> 00:01:27,440
Speaker 1: forty three million dollars in twenty twenty six cap space,

26
00:01:27,840 --> 00:01:29,679
Speaker 1: fourth year in a row. Kansas City has done this

27
00:01:29,760 --> 00:01:32,360
Speaker 1: type of restructure all part of the plan to create

28
00:01:32,400 --> 00:01:35,000
Speaker 1: flexibility when Mahomes signed a long term deal back in

29
00:01:35,040 --> 00:01:37,720
Speaker 1: twenty twenty. To be clear, it's not a pain cut.

30
00:01:37,880 --> 00:01:40,399
Speaker 1: Mahomes gets all his money. The Chiefs just pushing the

31
00:01:40,400 --> 00:01:43,039
Speaker 1: cap charges into future years and they still have more

32
00:01:43,080 --> 00:01:44,440
Speaker 1: work to do before March eleventh.

33
00:01:44,520 --> 00:01:49,600
Speaker 2: Judy Lamar Jackson, of course coming off a disappointing season,

34
00:01:49,600 --> 00:01:52,600
Speaker 2: but it is a fresh start for everybody in Baltimore.

35
00:01:52,880 --> 00:01:57,600
Speaker 2: Coaching change and now Declan Boyle is his new offensive coordinator.

36
00:01:57,960 --> 00:02:00,280
Speaker 2: Boyle met with reporters today for the first time and

37
00:02:00,320 --> 00:02:04,760
Speaker 2: he discussed his expectations for his MVP quarterback.

38
00:02:04,440 --> 00:02:05,920
Speaker 3: Speak to him a few times. One of them was

39
00:02:05,960 --> 00:02:07,720
Speaker 3: in the interview process. I was able to sit with

40
00:02:07,800 --> 00:02:09,799
Speaker 3: him for I don't know, over an hour on a

41
00:02:09,880 --> 00:02:12,320
Speaker 3: zoom call while he was down in Florida and be

42
00:02:12,360 --> 00:02:14,640
Speaker 3: able to kind of we talked about a lot of

43
00:02:14,639 --> 00:02:17,640
Speaker 3: different subjects, but kind of go through, you know, his

44
00:02:17,760 --> 00:02:19,919
Speaker 3: time in the past here kind of what his vision

45
00:02:20,000 --> 00:02:21,799
Speaker 3: is for what he needs to be able to operate

46
00:02:21,800 --> 00:02:24,160
Speaker 3: at the highest level. And I really wanted to see,

47
00:02:24,400 --> 00:02:25,919
Speaker 3: you know, if we were compatible and if that was

48
00:02:25,960 --> 00:02:28,320
Speaker 3: a fit and you're trying to figure out what the

49
00:02:28,320 --> 00:02:30,000
Speaker 3: coaching structure is going to look like in that way,

50
00:02:30,040 --> 00:02:32,440
Speaker 3: and so got a chance to visit with him then,

51
00:02:32,520 --> 00:02:34,000
Speaker 3: have had a chance to visit with him a few

52
00:02:34,000 --> 00:02:38,040
Speaker 3: more times since then, exchanged some texts, and certainly very

53
00:02:38,080 --> 00:02:41,320
Speaker 3: excited about the caliber player he is, but also just

54
00:02:41,360 --> 00:02:45,840
Speaker 3: in all the conversations, his willingness to listen, his hunger

55
00:02:45,840 --> 00:02:48,680
Speaker 3: to learn, his hunger to grow. I think he does.

56
00:02:48,760 --> 00:02:52,080
Speaker 3: He is a guy with a growth mindset that you know,

57
00:02:52,160 --> 00:02:54,080
Speaker 3: he's played at a really high level and still I

58
00:02:54,080 --> 00:02:56,440
Speaker 3: think that he wants to continue to work and feels

59
00:02:56,440 --> 00:02:59,400
Speaker 3: like he can get better, and so me and the

60
00:02:59,440 --> 00:03:01,160
Speaker 3: rest of the staff, I'm really excited to chase that

61
00:03:01,200 --> 00:03:01,560
Speaker 3: with him.

62
00:03:02,000 --> 00:03:04,560
Speaker 1: Really fascinating higher for the Ravens once they went with

63
00:03:04,600 --> 00:03:07,919
Speaker 1: the defensive head coach in Jesse Minter. Obviously they needed

64
00:03:07,919 --> 00:03:10,880
Speaker 1: a plan for a pretty talented offensive side of the ball.

65
00:03:10,919 --> 00:03:14,799
Speaker 1: Decklan Doyle twenty nine years old, but look at his pedigree,

66
00:03:14,960 --> 00:03:17,600
Speaker 1: came up under Sean Payton, got his first coaching job,

67
00:03:17,639 --> 00:03:19,799
Speaker 1: but he was really young back in New Orleans. Peyton

68
00:03:19,800 --> 00:03:22,600
Speaker 1: eventually brought him along to Denver, then joins Ben Johnson.

69
00:03:22,639 --> 00:03:25,200
Speaker 1: When you're talking about two of the brightest offensive minds

70
00:03:25,200 --> 00:03:28,000
Speaker 1: we've seen over the past couple of decades, Sean Payton

71
00:03:28,320 --> 00:03:31,320
Speaker 1: and Ben Johnson certainly fall on that list. But Judy,

72
00:03:31,360 --> 00:03:34,480
Speaker 1: we also don't have a track record on exactly what

73
00:03:34,600 --> 00:03:37,200
Speaker 1: Decklan Doyle is going to do with this offense, especially

74
00:03:37,240 --> 00:03:40,480
Speaker 1: within the context of whether it's Drew Brees, bo Nick's

75
00:03:40,560 --> 00:03:43,360
Speaker 1: Caleb Williams. There is no quarterback on the planet who's

76
00:03:43,400 --> 00:03:44,320
Speaker 1: exactly like Lamar.

77
00:03:46,400 --> 00:03:48,000
Speaker 2: Now, first of all, we should make the point that

78
00:03:48,160 --> 00:03:51,760
Speaker 2: Doyle told the team's website he actually thinks his youth

79
00:03:52,280 --> 00:03:54,240
Speaker 2: is a benefit for him, that he is able to

80
00:03:54,280 --> 00:03:58,120
Speaker 2: connect with players, maybe better than a little bit older coaches.

81
00:03:58,160 --> 00:04:01,040
Speaker 2: So we'll see if that is true. No question, this

82
00:04:01,200 --> 00:04:03,920
Speaker 2: is a bit of a risk. He has never called

83
00:04:03,920 --> 00:04:06,520
Speaker 2: the offensive place. He did work under Ben Johnson with

84
00:04:06,600 --> 00:04:11,160
Speaker 2: Chicago last year and obviously they had great results on offense,

85
00:04:11,200 --> 00:04:13,800
Speaker 2: but Ben Johnson was the play caller then, so this

86
00:04:13,840 --> 00:04:16,599
Speaker 2: is a bit of a gamble and whatever sort of

87
00:04:16,880 --> 00:04:19,520
Speaker 2: startup time it takes for him to get settled in

88
00:04:19,640 --> 00:04:22,200
Speaker 2: as the offensive play caller is of course, time that

89
00:04:22,279 --> 00:04:25,120
Speaker 2: you are taking away from a two time league MVP

90
00:04:25,320 --> 00:04:27,760
Speaker 2: to be at the top of his game. Having said

91
00:04:27,800 --> 00:04:31,320
Speaker 2: that the idea is to get Lamar Jackson further than

92
00:04:31,360 --> 00:04:33,560
Speaker 2: he has gone, he made it clear he believes that

93
00:04:33,640 --> 00:04:36,440
Speaker 2: his ceiling can go even higher than it has already been.

94
00:04:36,480 --> 00:04:38,400
Speaker 2: Of course, the only place for it to go really

95
00:04:38,480 --> 00:04:41,679
Speaker 2: is the Super Bowl at this point. That is why

96
00:04:41,720 --> 00:04:44,159
Speaker 2: they made the move away from John Harbaugh in the

97
00:04:44,160 --> 00:04:47,640
Speaker 2: first place. It's a risk, it is a calculated risk.

98
00:04:47,720 --> 00:04:50,479
Speaker 2: Steve Bushotti felt really good about making these changes. We

99
00:04:50,520 --> 00:04:53,840
Speaker 2: will see how they pan out this year, and.

100
00:04:53,760 --> 00:04:56,680
Speaker 1: If it does go well, you can guarantee that next

101
00:04:56,760 --> 00:04:59,240
Speaker 1: January we'll be talking about not twenty nine year old

102
00:04:59,279 --> 00:05:02,560
Speaker 1: offensive corner decklend Doyle, but thirty year old head coaching

103
00:05:02,640 --> 00:05:04,440
Speaker 1: cab at decklend Doyle. You can say the same thing

104
00:05:04,640 --> 00:05:08,480
Speaker 1: for Christian Parker another young hire now for the Dallas Cowboys,

105
00:05:08,520 --> 00:05:11,840
Speaker 1: just thirty four years old, as he gets his first opportunity.

106
00:05:12,320 --> 00:05:16,040
Speaker 1: Brian Schottenheimer introduced him earlier today, a guy who has

107
00:05:16,080 --> 00:05:19,080
Speaker 1: worked with Vic Fangio in Denver, in Philadelphia and brings

108
00:05:19,120 --> 00:05:21,400
Speaker 1: a lot of experience to the table, albeit at a

109
00:05:21,400 --> 00:05:22,320
Speaker 1: pretty young age.

110
00:05:22,480 --> 00:05:25,159
Speaker 4: We're excited to say, hey, take a deep breath, let's

111
00:05:25,200 --> 00:05:30,159
Speaker 4: get it right. I think we did over forty total interviews,

112
00:05:31,560 --> 00:05:35,360
Speaker 4: nine of which were coordinators. He was the last one,

113
00:05:35,480 --> 00:05:37,760
Speaker 4: by the way. He was a last zoom that we did,

114
00:05:38,040 --> 00:05:43,160
Speaker 4: and every impression we had with CP was just left

115
00:05:43,200 --> 00:05:43,800
Speaker 4: us want more.

116
00:05:43,960 --> 00:05:46,920
Speaker 5: The game is definitely one and lost up front, and

117
00:05:47,000 --> 00:05:51,000
Speaker 5: we have significant players in the front seven, and so

118
00:05:51,160 --> 00:05:53,120
Speaker 5: I think that when you start with that defensive line

119
00:05:53,200 --> 00:05:54,840
Speaker 5: room and what you're able to do in control in

120
00:05:54,880 --> 00:05:57,839
Speaker 5: the pocket, stopping the run, you control what an offense

121
00:05:57,880 --> 00:05:59,320
Speaker 5: is able to do, and you're able to dictate to

122
00:05:59,360 --> 00:06:01,520
Speaker 5: them on their turn. So you're not playing the whole

123
00:06:01,560 --> 00:06:03,880
Speaker 5: playbook when you win first and second down. So I

124
00:06:03,880 --> 00:06:06,560
Speaker 5: think it starts there. That's where the excitement starts. And

125
00:06:06,600 --> 00:06:09,479
Speaker 5: there's several other pieces that have been proven playmakers. We

126
00:06:09,520 --> 00:06:11,159
Speaker 5: look forward to kind of bringing it all together in

127
00:06:11,160 --> 00:06:12,000
Speaker 5: the next couple months.

128
00:06:13,080 --> 00:06:15,480
Speaker 2: Let's welcome in our chan slator, who is at Frisco

129
00:06:15,600 --> 00:06:17,560
Speaker 2: today for this press conference.

130
00:06:17,839 --> 00:06:18,200
Speaker 6: Jane.

131
00:06:18,200 --> 00:06:21,160
Speaker 2: My impression just of watching it is that Brian Schottenheimer

132
00:06:21,240 --> 00:06:24,360
Speaker 2: is absolutely thrilled with his new defensive coordinator.

133
00:06:25,000 --> 00:06:27,240
Speaker 6: What sold him on this guy?

134
00:06:28,760 --> 00:06:31,400
Speaker 7: Well, that's an understatement. And as you know, I follow

135
00:06:31,440 --> 00:06:34,880
Speaker 7: a lot of Cowboys, content creators and fans follow me,

136
00:06:35,080 --> 00:06:38,440
Speaker 7: and I can tell you the feedback has been largely positive.

137
00:06:38,520 --> 00:06:41,440
Speaker 7: As a result of an almost hour long press conference

138
00:06:41,800 --> 00:06:44,880
Speaker 7: with Christian Parker. Let's go back through his resume. It's

139
00:06:44,880 --> 00:06:46,720
Speaker 7: been an impressive one in a short amount of time.

140
00:06:46,760 --> 00:06:48,599
Speaker 7: He got his first job at twenty one, this is

141
00:06:48,600 --> 00:06:52,359
Speaker 7: now his first defensive coordinator job at thirty four, and

142
00:06:52,440 --> 00:06:55,000
Speaker 7: now this is his eight stop in his fourteen year

143
00:06:55,080 --> 00:06:57,680
Speaker 7: journey up the ranks. But along the way, as Tom

144
00:06:57,720 --> 00:07:01,160
Speaker 7: alluded to you earlier, his mentors been impressive, guys like

145
00:07:01,279 --> 00:07:04,880
Speaker 7: Vic Fangio, Advance Joseph to name a few. Christian Parker

146
00:07:05,080 --> 00:07:08,039
Speaker 7: was prepared and we saw that quote calm demeanor that

147
00:07:08,160 --> 00:07:11,080
Speaker 7: impressed head coach Brian Schottenheimer. And what ended up again

148
00:07:11,240 --> 00:07:15,400
Speaker 7: being a very lengthy presser with Parker today for Cowboys fans,

149
00:07:15,560 --> 00:07:17,520
Speaker 7: there were a few things that stood out. They will

150
00:07:17,520 --> 00:07:19,800
Speaker 7: be multiple in nature, but he's a firm believer in

151
00:07:19,840 --> 00:07:21,680
Speaker 7: the three to four scheme four two five.

152
00:07:21,720 --> 00:07:22,840
Speaker 6: In Nickel, He's.

153
00:07:22,640 --> 00:07:25,720
Speaker 7: Stressed the importance of affecting the QB and stopping the run,

154
00:07:26,000 --> 00:07:28,960
Speaker 7: something the Cowboys have struggled with over the years, along

155
00:07:29,000 --> 00:07:32,000
Speaker 7: with an identity. After employing four defensive cointers in the

156
00:07:32,040 --> 00:07:34,920
Speaker 7: last six years, Shaddy told us he wanted someone with

157
00:07:35,120 --> 00:07:38,440
Speaker 7: energy and connection and Belize has found that in Parker,

158
00:07:38,520 --> 00:07:41,720
Speaker 7: who he says, has already created excitement amongst the players.

159
00:07:42,080 --> 00:07:44,800
Speaker 7: And as for the process, as you heard Shoddy describe it,

160
00:07:44,800 --> 00:07:47,480
Speaker 7: it was thorough and extensive. Parker told us there was

161
00:07:47,520 --> 00:07:51,240
Speaker 7: a mock install position, meeting and period watching film and

162
00:07:51,280 --> 00:07:54,280
Speaker 7: detailing it out, along with the discussion of the roster's

163
00:07:54,360 --> 00:07:56,160
Speaker 7: personnel and players around the league.

164
00:07:56,440 --> 00:07:57,880
Speaker 6: I don't know if it's because we just.

165
00:07:57,840 --> 00:08:00,440
Speaker 7: Haven't asked the question, guys, but that's that's about his

166
00:08:00,520 --> 00:08:03,200
Speaker 7: thorough As I've heard them discuss the hiring process for

167
00:08:03,240 --> 00:08:04,880
Speaker 7: one of their coordinators.

168
00:08:06,840 --> 00:08:09,840
Speaker 2: Parker worked with the secondary in Philadelphia, did a great

169
00:08:09,920 --> 00:08:12,360
Speaker 2: job developing some young guys in the secondary.

170
00:08:12,440 --> 00:08:15,560
Speaker 6: We know that is a need for the Dallas Cowboys.

171
00:08:15,560 --> 00:08:18,280
Speaker 2: Really, Jane, defense is a need for the Dallas Cowboys

172
00:08:18,280 --> 00:08:19,440
Speaker 2: this offseason.

173
00:08:20,680 --> 00:08:22,880
Speaker 7: When you look at the secondary and last year some

174
00:08:22,960 --> 00:08:27,240
Speaker 7: of their issues depth and just you know, the ability

175
00:08:27,280 --> 00:08:29,720
Speaker 7: to adapt within the scheme. And I thought was really

176
00:08:29,720 --> 00:08:32,880
Speaker 7: impressive was Parker really drilled down on the importance of

177
00:08:32,920 --> 00:08:36,280
Speaker 7: the Nickel position, telling us quote that guy he's a corner,

178
00:08:36,320 --> 00:08:40,040
Speaker 7: sometimes he's a safety, sometimes he's a backer sometimes and

179
00:08:40,080 --> 00:08:42,560
Speaker 7: he's a defensive end when blitzing. He says he wants

180
00:08:42,559 --> 00:08:44,480
Speaker 7: to have a guy who has natural instincts and an

181
00:08:44,480 --> 00:08:46,880
Speaker 7: ability to feel the game. But I think what really

182
00:08:46,880 --> 00:08:48,880
Speaker 7: stood out was him saying he wants to build a

183
00:08:48,920 --> 00:08:51,160
Speaker 7: scheme around the players. That was something that I was

184
00:08:51,160 --> 00:08:54,320
Speaker 7: told by several players last year that frustrated them. And

185
00:08:54,320 --> 00:08:57,040
Speaker 7: we were all impressed that the former political science major

186
00:08:57,120 --> 00:08:59,839
Speaker 7: threw in the importance of his major in college, draw

187
00:09:00,240 --> 00:09:03,320
Speaker 7: names like Marcus Aurelius, Seneca and the Art of War.

188
00:09:03,679 --> 00:09:06,160
Speaker 7: He says it helps when arguing the why on things

189
00:09:06,200 --> 00:09:09,200
Speaker 7: and teaching. Another thing Shoddy loved about Parker in the

190
00:09:09,200 --> 00:09:12,480
Speaker 7: interview process, and he told us he is young, but

191
00:09:12,600 --> 00:09:15,040
Speaker 7: he told us, quote, I'm ready and He was very

192
00:09:15,080 --> 00:09:17,880
Speaker 7: declarative and very confident when making that statement.

193
00:09:20,440 --> 00:09:23,960
Speaker 2: It was a very impressive press conference. Also, Bill Belichick

194
00:09:24,000 --> 00:09:26,480
Speaker 2: also a big fan of the art of war. Jane,

195
00:09:26,480 --> 00:09:27,360
Speaker 2: thank you very much.

196
00:09:27,679 --> 00:09:28,199
Speaker 6: Tom.

197
00:09:29,559 --> 00:09:33,400
Speaker 1: New Cardinals coach Michael Lafleur also introduced his coordinators today.

198
00:09:33,400 --> 00:09:35,280
Speaker 1: He's the one on the left as you're looking at

199
00:09:35,280 --> 00:09:38,800
Speaker 1: your screen, a familiar face, part of his brother Matt's

200
00:09:38,800 --> 00:09:43,360
Speaker 1: staff multiple times over the years, Nathaniel Hackett headed to Arizona.

201
00:09:43,400 --> 00:09:45,720
Speaker 1: Here's why Lafleur said, Hack is back.

202
00:09:47,640 --> 00:09:49,559
Speaker 8: It's one of those things, like you know, when you're

203
00:09:49,559 --> 00:09:52,000
Speaker 8: a play calling head coach is like you always get asked,

204
00:09:52,000 --> 00:09:54,960
Speaker 8: what's the order of you know, the most important coaches? Like, well,

205
00:09:54,960 --> 00:09:58,439
Speaker 8: they're all important. You know, the position coach is the coordinators.

206
00:09:58,480 --> 00:10:00,840
Speaker 8: That is such an important role because of all the

207
00:10:00,840 --> 00:10:03,960
Speaker 8: things I just said. And you know, I've never worked

208
00:10:03,960 --> 00:10:06,120
Speaker 8: with Hack. I've obviously known Hack for a lot of years,

209
00:10:07,280 --> 00:10:10,200
Speaker 8: but obviously the years that he spent with Green Bay

210
00:10:10,200 --> 00:10:12,880
Speaker 8: and my brother, what a vital part he had in

211
00:10:12,920 --> 00:10:17,240
Speaker 8: the success you know, early on, and what an opportunity

212
00:10:17,280 --> 00:10:19,280
Speaker 8: for us and myself.

213
00:10:18,920 --> 00:10:19,800
Speaker 9: To be able to land him.

214
00:10:19,960 --> 00:10:22,600
Speaker 10: My experience at Green Bay with Matt was absolutely incredible.

215
00:10:22,679 --> 00:10:26,240
Speaker 10: Matt's one of my dearest friends, and I'm so grateful

216
00:10:26,240 --> 00:10:28,560
Speaker 10: for all my time that i had with him, and

217
00:10:28,600 --> 00:10:30,760
Speaker 10: now I'm looking for that same experience with another lafleur.

218
00:10:31,040 --> 00:10:33,160
Speaker 10: So he's just going to keep bracking up those la floors.

219
00:10:33,160 --> 00:10:35,559
Speaker 1: You know, you were going to get the energy from

220
00:10:35,600 --> 00:10:38,600
Speaker 1: Nathaniel Hackett, not just when he speaks to reporters, Judy,

221
00:10:38,640 --> 00:10:42,240
Speaker 1: but also behind the scenes. His presentations in Green Bay

222
00:10:42,320 --> 00:10:44,600
Speaker 1: are legendary. The things he would do with not the

223
00:10:44,640 --> 00:10:48,120
Speaker 1: red zone but the gold zone using Austin Power's clips.

224
00:10:48,360 --> 00:10:51,440
Speaker 1: It's not just the schematics, and certainly he's very involved

225
00:10:51,840 --> 00:10:54,520
Speaker 1: in his history with knowing that scheme, but it's also

226
00:10:54,640 --> 00:10:56,720
Speaker 1: kind of balancing out the energy in the room, which

227
00:10:56,760 --> 00:10:58,520
Speaker 1: is kind of a big part of putting together a staff,

228
00:10:58,600 --> 00:10:59,800
Speaker 1: especially as a new head coach.

229
00:11:02,040 --> 00:11:03,439
Speaker 6: No question that is important.

230
00:11:03,600 --> 00:11:05,839
Speaker 2: He's also got experience as a head coach that maybe

231
00:11:05,880 --> 00:11:08,439
Speaker 2: he can talk to him a little bit about on that.

232
00:11:08,520 --> 00:11:10,920
Speaker 2: But look, the bottom line when you're talking about the

233
00:11:10,920 --> 00:11:14,360
Speaker 2: offense is who are they designing the offense for? Who

234
00:11:14,400 --> 00:11:17,199
Speaker 2: is the quarterback? We still don't know the answer to that.

235
00:11:17,320 --> 00:11:20,600
Speaker 2: In Arizona. Obviously we expect that Kyler Murray is probably

236
00:11:20,679 --> 00:11:23,520
Speaker 2: not going to be there as the starting quarterback, but

237
00:11:23,640 --> 00:11:26,280
Speaker 2: we will see what happens in Arizona. A long way

238
00:11:26,320 --> 00:11:29,600
Speaker 2: to go in Arizona this off season. As for the

239
00:11:29,640 --> 00:11:33,559
Speaker 2: Tennessee Titans, cam Ward he had a pretty good rookie

240
00:11:33,640 --> 00:11:36,720
Speaker 2: season given the disappointments of the rest of the team

241
00:11:36,880 --> 00:11:40,800
Speaker 2: in Tennessee. You'll see flashes from cam Ward as a

242
00:11:40,880 --> 00:11:43,760
Speaker 2: rookie and now former Giants head coach Brian Dable is

243
00:11:43,800 --> 00:11:45,040
Speaker 2: his offensive coordinator.

244
00:11:45,080 --> 00:11:46,800
Speaker 6: Here is Dabs on cam Ward.

245
00:11:48,480 --> 00:11:50,160
Speaker 11: Yeah, I just say it felt like the right fit

246
00:11:50,720 --> 00:11:54,600
Speaker 11: with the right people. Obviously have a relationship with Robert

247
00:11:54,840 --> 00:11:58,440
Speaker 11: dating back to the New York days, but his vision

248
00:11:58,520 --> 00:12:00,480
Speaker 11: of what he wants to do and how he wants

249
00:12:00,520 --> 00:12:03,640
Speaker 11: to do it, Mike and the vision that he has

250
00:12:04,320 --> 00:12:08,280
Speaker 11: and then ultimately cam was was a big factor. Have

251
00:12:08,360 --> 00:12:11,199
Speaker 11: a lot of confidence in this young man. I'm sure

252
00:12:11,240 --> 00:12:14,200
Speaker 11: I'll get asked about the pre draft process last year,

253
00:12:14,200 --> 00:12:16,520
Speaker 11: which was about this time, had a lot of touch

254
00:12:16,520 --> 00:12:21,920
Speaker 11: points with him, meetings, thirty visits, you know, going down

255
00:12:21,960 --> 00:12:24,360
Speaker 11: to Miami, dinner with him and his family, So there

256
00:12:24,400 --> 00:12:27,040
Speaker 11: was a it was a good relationship built up leading

257
00:12:27,120 --> 00:12:30,199
Speaker 11: up to the draft. So I look forward to work

258
00:12:30,200 --> 00:12:33,160
Speaker 11: with him. I know he's in the building rehabit April

259
00:12:33,200 --> 00:12:36,000
Speaker 11: can't come soon enough to get going on the offensive

260
00:12:36,000 --> 00:12:39,080
Speaker 11: installation part of it. But have a lot of confidence

261
00:12:39,120 --> 00:12:42,400
Speaker 11: in how he played both at Miami Washington State, and

262
00:12:42,440 --> 00:12:44,040
Speaker 11: then he had a whole year under his belt playing

263
00:12:44,040 --> 00:12:46,160
Speaker 11: in the National Football League and getting accustomed to the

264
00:12:46,200 --> 00:12:49,160
Speaker 11: speed of the game and the timing, and that's not

265
00:12:49,200 --> 00:12:51,800
Speaker 11: an easy thing for quarterbacks. So I just felt like

266
00:12:51,800 --> 00:12:54,480
Speaker 11: the right fit Buck and look forward to being here.

267
00:12:55,000 --> 00:12:57,640
Speaker 1: I can't think of a lot of comparable situations, Judy,

268
00:12:57,679 --> 00:12:59,600
Speaker 1: where you have a guy who was a head coach,

269
00:12:59,679 --> 00:13:03,640
Speaker 1: went the quarterback process very in depth, and then a

270
00:13:03,720 --> 00:13:05,640
Speaker 1: year later, after getting fired, ends up as an OC

271
00:13:05,760 --> 00:13:08,480
Speaker 1: on a different team getting the other quarterback. I remember

272
00:13:08,520 --> 00:13:11,760
Speaker 1: hearing at the time Brian Dabele was really really interested

273
00:13:12,120 --> 00:13:15,479
Speaker 1: in cam Ward, but thanks to a late season throwaway

274
00:13:15,520 --> 00:13:17,840
Speaker 1: whin that they didn't need, they dropped down a couple

275
00:13:17,880 --> 00:13:20,640
Speaker 1: of spots, can't get him at number one. Tennessee wasn't

276
00:13:20,720 --> 00:13:23,880
Speaker 1: movie Now this opportunity to work with cam Ward. It's

277
00:13:23,920 --> 00:13:26,440
Speaker 1: certainly big for the Titans, also big for Brian Dabele

278
00:13:26,520 --> 00:13:29,560
Speaker 1: to remind everybody why when he has had success in

279
00:13:29,640 --> 00:13:32,480
Speaker 1: the NFL, he's done it with a quarterback who's got

280
00:13:32,480 --> 00:13:34,000
Speaker 1: a diverse type of a skill set.

281
00:13:36,240 --> 00:13:38,240
Speaker 2: You know he must like cam Ward because he used

282
00:13:38,240 --> 00:13:40,040
Speaker 2: the word moxie about cam Ward.

283
00:13:40,080 --> 00:13:41,360
Speaker 6: He likes his moxie, which.

284
00:13:41,200 --> 00:13:43,600
Speaker 2: Is exactly the same word as he used when he

285
00:13:43,640 --> 00:13:46,840
Speaker 2: talked about Jackson Dart last year at the New York Giants.

286
00:13:46,880 --> 00:13:49,400
Speaker 2: I was struck too by all of the contact he

287
00:13:49,480 --> 00:13:51,920
Speaker 2: has had with cam warden all of the work he

288
00:13:51,960 --> 00:13:54,360
Speaker 2: had done on cam Ward when he was with the

289
00:13:54,360 --> 00:13:56,880
Speaker 2: Giants and they were looking at the draft. That certainly

290
00:13:57,240 --> 00:13:59,320
Speaker 2: has to help that there is going to be a

291
00:13:59,360 --> 00:14:02,480
Speaker 2: shorter start up period. He's already got so much intel,

292
00:14:02,559 --> 00:14:04,000
Speaker 2: He's already had so much contact.

293
00:14:04,080 --> 00:14:06,520
Speaker 6: He knows how he likes to play. It's going to be.

294
00:14:06,559 --> 00:14:09,960
Speaker 2: Very interesting to see both cam Ward and Brian Daboll

295
00:14:10,080 --> 00:14:12,200
Speaker 2: perform together in Tennessee.

296
00:14:13,440 --> 00:14:16,760
Speaker 1: Cam Ward Brian Dable Revenge Tour Loading. We got a

297
00:14:16,760 --> 00:14:20,960
Speaker 1: forty nine ers World Tour Loading, the team announcing earlier

298

00:14:23,320 --> 00:14:26,880
Speaker 1: twenty twenty six season. They will host a regular season

300
00:14:26,880 --> 00:14:29,880
Speaker 1: games fall at Estadio Bonorte with their opponent to be

301
00:14:29,920 --> 00:14:33,680
Speaker 1: announced matchup, of course, follows the prior announcement that they're

302
00:14:33,680 --> 00:14:37,320
Speaker 1: also headed to Australia to face the Rams. The NFL

303
00:14:37,560 --> 00:14:40,720
Speaker 1: and the forty nineers in particular, literally everywhere, well not

304
00:14:40,880 --> 00:14:47,400
Speaker 1: literally figuratively everywhere, going to Mexico City, Madrid, London three times, Paris, Munich,

305
00:14:47,520 --> 00:14:50,760
Speaker 1: Melbourne and Rio. If you're scoring at home, Judy. That

306
00:14:50,880 --> 00:14:54,800
Speaker 1: is nine international games, four continents, seven countries and eight

307
00:14:54,880 --> 00:14:56,160
Speaker 1: stadiums plus apartridge in.

308
00:14:56,160 --> 00:14:56,640
Speaker 9: A para tree.

309
00:14:58,560 --> 00:15:00,360
Speaker 6: And they are not done yet, all right.

310
00:15:00,360 --> 00:15:03,080
Speaker 2: As for the Seattle Seahawks, ten days after winning the

311
00:15:03,120 --> 00:15:05,640
Speaker 2: Super Bowl, they have been put up for sale.

312
00:15:05,720 --> 00:15:07,000
Speaker 6: This move was expected.

313
00:15:07,000 --> 00:15:09,400
Speaker 2: There have been some urgency from the league office to

314
00:15:09,400 --> 00:15:12,080
Speaker 2: get the sale process started before the league's annual meeting

315
00:15:12,400 --> 00:15:14,960
Speaker 2: in March. The Paul Allen Trust has owned the team

316
00:15:15,160 --> 00:15:17,600
Speaker 2: since he died in twenty eighteen. Trusts are not allowed

317
00:15:17,640 --> 00:15:20,320
Speaker 2: to own teams in the NFL, so that is why

318
00:15:20,360 --> 00:15:22,960
Speaker 2: it is going up for sale. There is a possibility

319
00:15:22,960 --> 00:15:25,440
Speaker 2: that new owners could be in place by the kickoff

320
00:15:25,480 --> 00:15:28,280
Speaker 2: of the twenty twenty six season. The sale price is

321
00:15:28,360 --> 00:15:31,480
Speaker 2: expected to set an NFL record that will be north

322
00:15:31,760 --> 00:15:34,080
Speaker 2: of the six billion dollars plus that was paid for

323
00:15:34,120 --> 00:15:37,920
Speaker 2: the Commanders in twenty twenty three. This could exceed that

324
00:15:38,040 --> 00:15:38,800
Speaker 2: quite easily.

325
00:15:41,040 --> 00:15:44,600
Speaker 1: There's still one tackle football game left in this season.

326
00:15:44,760 --> 00:15:50,360
Speaker 1: It is the HBCU Legacy Bowl. Practices underway. Our Sherry

327
00:15:50,400 --> 00:15:52,400
Speaker 1: Burris caught up with linebacker Eric.

328
00:15:52,280 --> 00:15:56,600
Speaker 12: Hunner first day hear practice for the games.

329
00:15:56,640 --> 00:15:58,160
Speaker 13: Tell me what do you hope to show the scouts

330
00:15:58,160 --> 00:15:59,920
Speaker 13: that are watching about your play in particular?

331
00:16:00,320 --> 00:16:02,680
Speaker 14: Most definitely, First of all, I'm just a professional, you know,

332
00:16:02,800 --> 00:16:05,000
Speaker 14: anything I do, I move like a professional, you know,

333
00:16:05,040 --> 00:16:06,080
Speaker 14: And I'm a good football player.

334
00:16:06,080 --> 00:16:06,960
Speaker 9: I'm extremely passionate.

335
00:16:06,960 --> 00:16:08,720
Speaker 14: In whatever lockerroom'm gonna get into, I'm gonna play my

336
00:16:08,800 --> 00:16:09,920
Speaker 14: role to the best of my ability.

337
00:16:10,160 --> 00:16:11,400
Speaker 13: What do we see on the field. We saw you

338
00:16:11,480 --> 00:16:13,400
Speaker 13: make some good hands catches there too. Why is it

339
00:16:13,440 --> 00:16:15,480
Speaker 13: so important to show all of your skills in a

340
00:16:15,520 --> 00:16:16,320
Speaker 13: game in a week like this?

341
00:16:16,640 --> 00:16:18,920
Speaker 14: You know, because I'm representing HBCUs. This is bigger than

342
00:16:18,960 --> 00:16:20,360
Speaker 14: just me, you know, so I want to show that

343
00:16:20,400 --> 00:16:22,080
Speaker 14: it's tiling out here. You know, I could play on

344
00:16:22,120 --> 00:16:24,400
Speaker 14: any level. I'm excited to, you know, continue to showcase

345
00:16:24,440 --> 00:16:25,920
Speaker 14: my abilities. It means a lot to me. This is

346
00:16:25,920 --> 00:16:27,640
Speaker 14: a game I've been playing as a child, and you

347
00:16:27,680 --> 00:16:28,680
Speaker 14: know dream is coming true.

348
00:16:28,920 --> 00:16:30,520
Speaker 13: We were looking at some of the notes for you

349
00:16:30,560 --> 00:16:32,800
Speaker 13: and you said, Sean Taylor is an inspiration for you.

350
00:16:33,240 --> 00:16:35,320
Speaker 12: What's your first memory of seeing him play?

351
00:16:35,560 --> 00:16:38,240
Speaker 14: Yeah, so he was a hard hitting safety. The first

352
00:16:38,240 --> 00:16:39,920
Speaker 14: time I was introduced to him was actually by my

353
00:16:39,960 --> 00:16:42,680
Speaker 14: grandmother when we were just watching a Pro Bowl highlight

354
00:16:42,680 --> 00:16:44,240
Speaker 14: when he came down to hit a punter and it

355
00:16:44,320 --> 00:16:47,280
Speaker 14: just showed his resiliency and like, he's so relentless too,

356
00:16:47,320 --> 00:16:49,200
Speaker 14: so he doesn't really care. So when you line up

357
00:16:49,200 --> 00:16:51,200
Speaker 14: against him, he's playing football and I take that too.

358
00:16:51,320 --> 00:16:53,200
Speaker 13: How do you feel like, yeah, you can emulate sort

359
00:16:53,200 --> 00:16:54,640
Speaker 13: of the spirit in the way he played.

360
00:16:54,680 --> 00:16:56,680
Speaker 14: Yeah, the same thing is just playing relentless you no

361
00:16:56,680 --> 00:16:58,480
Speaker 14: matter who's across from me. It doesn't matter your helmet

362
00:16:58,520 --> 00:17:00,240
Speaker 14: you got on, doesn't matter where you come from. I'm

363
00:17:00,280 --> 00:17:01,200
Speaker 14: playing football with you.

364
00:17:01,400 --> 00:17:03,120
Speaker 12: And you got to play close to home. I saw

365
00:17:03,160 --> 00:17:03,960
Speaker 12: that was important to you.

366
00:17:04,040 --> 00:17:06,119
Speaker 13: What was your biggest takeaway of getting to do that

367
00:17:06,200 --> 00:17:07,280
Speaker 13: and have that with your family.

368
00:17:07,440 --> 00:17:09,240
Speaker 14: Yeah, I mean the biggest thing was being able to

369
00:17:09,280 --> 00:17:10,800
Speaker 14: have my family come to every home game. It wasn't

370
00:17:10,840 --> 00:17:12,480
Speaker 14: too far of a drive. I mean, Morgas State is

371
00:17:12,520 --> 00:17:14,600
Speaker 14: a great school. You know, I have no complaints about

372
00:17:14,600 --> 00:17:16,359
Speaker 14: Morgan State. I would love it. I would do it

373
00:17:16,400 --> 00:17:19,040
Speaker 14: again as a badge of on our weear on my chest.

374
00:17:18,960 --> 00:17:21,600

375

Speaker 16: To be here now it just makes it all worth it,

424
00:20:00,600 --> 00:20:03,320
Speaker 16: you know, the journey of you know, being undrafted, you

425
00:20:03,359 --> 00:20:06,360
Speaker 16: know FCS guys, small school making it to the big

426
00:20:06,400 --> 00:20:08,320
Speaker 16: stage and you know, being able to make the impact

427
00:20:08,400 --> 00:20:10,560
Speaker 16: on the new team that I was brought into and

428

Speaker 16: ultimately a super Bowl champion.

429
00:20:12,720 --> 00:20:14,320
Speaker 9: And it can't write it much better.

430
00:20:16,760 --> 00:20:17,520
Speaker 6: Well, you referenced it.

431
00:20:17,560 --> 00:20:20,320
Speaker 2: I mean, you were traded at the trade deadline from

432
00:20:20,359 --> 00:20:22,960
Speaker 2: the New Orleans Saints. Could you ever have imagined even

433
00:20:23,000 --> 00:20:24,800
Speaker 2: when you traded that you were going to make the

434
00:20:24,920 --> 00:20:27,520
Speaker 2: kind of leap that you did and land on a

435
00:20:27,560 --> 00:20:28,280
Speaker 2: team that was going to.

436
00:20:28,280 --> 00:20:28,760
Speaker 6: Go all the way.

437
00:20:30,200 --> 00:20:30,400
Speaker 9: Yeah.

438
00:20:30,480 --> 00:20:32,520
Speaker 16: I just knew to come in and just be myself

439
00:20:32,760 --> 00:20:35,480
Speaker 16: and my coaches and my teammates made that so easy.

440
00:20:35,560 --> 00:20:38,879
Speaker 16: The transition was was so smooth, and they emphasize that

441
00:20:39,080 --> 00:20:41,320
Speaker 16: just come in and don't do anything differently. You know,

442
00:20:41,400 --> 00:20:43,760
Speaker 16: it's obviously a new uniform, but it's the same game

443
00:20:43,840 --> 00:20:45,840
Speaker 16: E've been playing since you were five years old. So

444
00:20:45,920 --> 00:20:48,320
Speaker 16: I just kept that mentality, and you know, it just

445
00:20:48,359 --> 00:20:48,960
Speaker 16: all worked out.

446
00:20:49,600 --> 00:20:51,359
Speaker 15: What was it like when you found out you were

447
00:20:51,440 --> 00:20:54,200
Speaker 15: going to Seattle and when how long did it take

448
00:20:54,280 --> 00:20:57,200
Speaker 15: for you to realize that the Seahawks were a real contender.

449
00:20:58,720 --> 00:20:59,760
Speaker 9: It didn't take me long at all.

450
00:20:59,840 --> 00:21:02,960
Speaker 16: I played them earlier in the year in New Orleans,

451
00:21:03,000 --> 00:21:05,879
Speaker 16: and I got a good glipse of how good they were.

452
00:21:05,960 --> 00:21:09,320
Speaker 16: They put a good be down on us, But yeah,

453
00:21:09,320 --> 00:21:10,880
Speaker 16: I know, the first week I got there, I saw

454
00:21:11,080 --> 00:21:14,680
Speaker 16: how bought in everybody was and how locked in, you know,

455
00:21:14,800 --> 00:21:16,320
Speaker 16: just just the team was, and all the coaches and

456
00:21:16,400 --> 00:21:18,560
Speaker 16: everybody just had, you know, just kind of a rich

457
00:21:18,640 --> 00:21:21,800
Speaker 16: spirit about them, and the organization is just absolutely amazing.

458
00:21:22,160 --> 00:21:23,959
Speaker 16: So I knew I was stepping into a great situation.

459
00:21:26,040 --> 00:21:28,920
Speaker 6: Obviously, one of the key figures on your new team

460
00:21:29,160 --> 00:21:31,080
Speaker 6: was Sam Donald. We heard a lot out of that

461
00:21:31,240 --> 00:21:31,679
Speaker 6: locker room.

462
00:21:31,720 --> 00:21:34,560
Speaker 2: We heard a lot at the parade talking about Sam

463
00:21:34,640 --> 00:21:37,480
Speaker 2: Donald sort of defending him against his doubters. What were

464
00:21:37,520 --> 00:21:39,440
Speaker 2: your impressions only at half a season with him, but

465
00:21:39,560 --> 00:21:40,880
Speaker 2: what were your impressions of Sam?

466
00:21:42,240 --> 00:21:44,080
Speaker 9: Yeah? And I love working with Sam Man. He's the

467
00:21:44,160 --> 00:21:45,080
Speaker 9: ultimate competitor.

468
00:21:46,320 --> 00:21:49,119
Speaker 16: He's a great teammate and he's our leader, and we

469
00:21:49,200 --> 00:21:51,120
Speaker 16: knew that man and we were also proud of him

470
00:21:51,160 --> 00:21:54,440
Speaker 16: and his journey the Super Bowl champion quarterback, and nobody

471
00:21:54,480 --> 00:21:57,359
Speaker 16: can take that away from him. He's earned this, He's earned,

472
00:21:57,680 --> 00:22:00,320
Speaker 16: you know, everything that's coming for him, and we're all

473
00:22:00,359 --> 00:22:01,040
Speaker 16: just super proud that.

474
00:22:01,040 --> 00:22:01,720
Speaker 9: He's a Seahawk.

475
00:22:02,640 --> 00:22:05,960
Speaker 15: You're set to become an unrestricted free agent here next month.

476
00:22:06,080 --> 00:22:08,200
Speaker 15: What would it mean for you to be back with

477
00:22:08,359 --> 00:22:10,800
Speaker 15: Seattle and have any of those conversations started?

478
00:22:13,320 --> 00:22:13,800
Speaker 9: Absolutely?

479
00:22:13,840 --> 00:22:16,639
Speaker 16: Absolutely, Yeah, conversations are definitely going to be eating up,

480
00:22:16,920 --> 00:22:19,000
Speaker 16: definitely towards March.

481
00:22:19,880 --> 00:22:21,440
Speaker 9: But I know I would love to come back. I

482
00:22:21,600 --> 00:22:23,280
Speaker 9: love my experience here.

483
00:22:23,680 --> 00:22:28,159
Speaker 16: I'm loving the Pacific Northwest, and obviously the organization is a.

484
00:22:28,200 --> 00:22:29,760
Speaker 9: Second to none, and you know, I kind of want

485
00:22:29,800 --> 00:22:31,120
Speaker 9: to run it back. We just want a Super Bowl,

486
00:22:31,200 --> 00:22:32,200
Speaker 9: so you know, why not.

487
00:22:35,080 --> 00:22:38,520
Speaker 2: You had a bigger offensive role before you were traded.

488
00:22:38,520 --> 00:22:40,439
Speaker 2: When you were with the Saints then you ended up

489
00:22:40,560 --> 00:22:44,399
Speaker 2: having in your time in Seattle. Is that something you

490
00:22:44,480 --> 00:22:47,000
Speaker 2: will be seeking next season? Do you want to be

491
00:22:47,080 --> 00:22:49,159
Speaker 2: wherever you land, whether it's back in Seattle or with

492
00:22:49,280 --> 00:22:51,880
Speaker 2: another team. Are you going to be seeking some kind

493
00:22:51,880 --> 00:22:54,520
Speaker 2: of reassurance that maybe you'll have a greater role in

494
00:22:54,600 --> 00:22:55,120
Speaker 2: the offense.

495
00:22:56,720 --> 00:23:00,200
Speaker 16: Of course, you know, any opportunity I get to to

496
00:23:00,320 --> 00:23:02,560
Speaker 16: make some plays for my teammates, I'm gonna go out

497
00:23:02,560 --> 00:23:05,199
Speaker 16: there and just enjoy it. You know, as long as

498
00:23:05,240 --> 00:23:07,520
Speaker 16: the balls, if it comes to me or if it doesn't,

499
00:23:07,560 --> 00:23:11,120
Speaker 16: I'm out there having a blast. Any impact I get

500
00:23:11,119 --> 00:23:14,440
Speaker 16: an opportunity with offense, special teams, it doesn't matter.

501
00:23:14,480 --> 00:23:16,520
Speaker 9: As long as you know I'm out there, I'm gonna

502
00:23:16,560 --> 00:23:17,680
Speaker 9: be having a blast.

503
00:23:18,160 --> 00:23:20,200
Speaker 15: Having a blast on the field, also having a blast

504
00:23:20,280 --> 00:23:22,000
Speaker 15: off the field. I know at the parade, we have

505
00:23:22,040 --> 00:23:25,120
Speaker 15: a tweet that we want to put up sheet zero

506
00:23:25,440 --> 00:23:26,240
Speaker 15: Parade one.

507
00:23:26,680 --> 00:23:28,320
Speaker 6: Can you explain this a little bit?

508
00:23:28,400 --> 00:23:31,960
Speaker 15: What's going on there in Seattle that Wednesday?

509
00:23:32,880 --> 00:23:36,040
Speaker 9: Yeah, I have maybe one too many. I would say.

510
00:23:37,600 --> 00:23:40,240
Speaker 16: The parade parade definitely got the best of me. But

511
00:23:40,480 --> 00:23:42,840
Speaker 16: it was a great time, a moment I will never forget.

512
00:23:42,920 --> 00:23:45,920
Speaker 16: My family was on the floor with me. It was great,

513
00:23:46,000 --> 00:23:48,200
Speaker 16: but the parade definitely definitely got me.

514
00:23:49,040 --> 00:23:55,200
Speaker 2: That's okay, you're allowed. Yes, you you mentioned that your

515
00:23:55,240 --> 00:23:59,680
Speaker 2: family was with you. Both of your parents have track backgrounds.

516
00:24:00,040 --> 00:24:03,199
Speaker 2: When did you first realize, like, at what point when

517
00:24:03,240 --> 00:24:05,520
Speaker 2: you were a kid or in sports did you first

518
00:24:05,600 --> 00:24:07,200
Speaker 2: realize that you were really fast?

519
00:24:08,520 --> 00:24:10,119
Speaker 9: Yeah, at a very young age.

520
00:24:10,640 --> 00:24:12,480
Speaker 16: I started running track of field when I was just

521
00:24:12,520 --> 00:24:15,720
Speaker 16: a little kid, and of course, you know racing, and

522
00:24:16,160 --> 00:24:18,240
Speaker 16: you know at that school racing all the kids and

523
00:24:18,720 --> 00:24:20,760
Speaker 16: kids wanting to race you because you're fast. You know,

524
00:24:20,800 --> 00:24:22,280
Speaker 16: you kind of get the idea that you know, you

525
00:24:22,640 --> 00:24:24,680
Speaker 16: might have a little step ahead at a young age.

526
00:24:24,760 --> 00:24:27,120
Speaker 16: But yeah, I was kind of born to run. Whole

527
00:24:27,200 --> 00:24:30,840
Speaker 16: family is track athletes, So yeah, we enjoy the sport.

528
00:24:31,400 --> 00:24:34,240
Speaker 6: We saw that speed showcase. The entire world saw it.

529
00:24:34,280 --> 00:24:36,399
Speaker 15: If they didn't know why who you were before the

530
00:24:36,480 --> 00:24:39,480
Speaker 15: divisional round, they sure do now. Obviously returning the opening

531
00:24:39,560 --> 00:24:41,800
Speaker 15: kick in the divisional round against the forty nine ers

532
00:24:41,840 --> 00:24:43,920
Speaker 15: for a touchdown. How many times have you seen that

533
00:24:44,080 --> 00:24:46,840
Speaker 15: clip since? And is there anything we don't know about

534
00:24:46,880 --> 00:24:47,399
Speaker 15: that moment?

535
00:24:48,920 --> 00:24:51,000
Speaker 9: Oh? I rewatched that up so many times. It was

536
00:24:51,440 --> 00:24:53,080
Speaker 9: like a dream. Still I can't.

537
00:24:52,920 --> 00:24:57,560
Speaker 16: Believe that that turned out like that, But yeah, I

538
00:24:57,640 --> 00:25:00,399
Speaker 16: know that moment was it's ashed to my mind. You know,

539
00:25:00,520 --> 00:25:02,200
Speaker 16: one of my favorite plays of all time. It was

540
00:25:02,560 --> 00:25:04,640
Speaker 16: the one time where I was running down the sidelines

541
00:25:04,680 --> 00:25:07,240
Speaker 16: and actually heard the crowd. It was just so loud

542
00:25:07,280 --> 00:25:11,200
Speaker 16: and it was it caused just about earthquake. So you know,

543
00:25:11,280 --> 00:25:14,119
Speaker 16: how cock could you not here? But that's one memory

544
00:25:14,119 --> 00:25:15,040
Speaker 16: I'll always remember.

545
00:25:17,240 --> 00:25:19,800
Speaker 2: Well, sort of on the same track, have you had

546
00:25:19,960 --> 00:25:23,159
Speaker 2: time to process sort of what your last year or

547
00:25:23,280 --> 00:25:26,080
Speaker 2: so has been, like, Like, when you think about the

548
00:25:26,200 --> 00:25:28,560
Speaker 2: journey you've been on just in the last year, what

549
00:25:28,760 --> 00:25:29,720
Speaker 2: comes to mind first?

550
00:25:32,280 --> 00:25:33,800
Speaker 9: That's a good question. It's been.

551
00:25:33,840 --> 00:25:35,600
Speaker 16: It's been a lot, but I feel like it's all

552
00:25:36,080 --> 00:25:38,560
Speaker 16: just kind of worked itself out. I just let you know,

553
00:25:38,920 --> 00:25:41,680
Speaker 16: all the circumstances and you know, the moving to a

554
00:25:41,720 --> 00:25:44,560
Speaker 16: different team and all that within the last few months.

555
00:25:45,160 --> 00:25:46,800
Speaker 16: I just let it all work out, and I just

556
00:25:46,960 --> 00:25:49,280
Speaker 16: not didn't let the moment get too big, didn't let

557
00:25:49,600 --> 00:25:53,320
Speaker 16: you know, the trade or anything, you know, just get

558
00:25:53,359 --> 00:25:54,960
Speaker 16: to me. And I just felt like I just seemed

559
00:25:54,960 --> 00:25:57,199
Speaker 16: to be myself throughout this whole thing. And that's how

560
00:25:57,240 --> 00:25:58,960
Speaker 16: I kind of stayed grounded and I was able to

561
00:25:59,000 --> 00:26:00,720
Speaker 16: handle this and the that's way possible.

562
00:26:01,400 --> 00:26:03,720
Speaker 15: Definitely left it out on the field during the playoffs.

563
00:26:03,760 --> 00:26:04,399
Speaker 6: We saw that.

564
00:26:04,560 --> 00:26:06,480
Speaker 15: We've talked about it, but is there anything else that

565
00:26:06,600 --> 00:26:09,560
Speaker 15: you want to tell people as you become an unrestricted

566
00:26:09,600 --> 00:26:12,159
Speaker 15: free agent of maybe what we don't know about you

567
00:26:12,320 --> 00:26:14,159
Speaker 15: and what your your goal is going forward?

568
00:26:16,880 --> 00:26:19,480
Speaker 9: The goal for me is just continue to win.

569
00:26:19,960 --> 00:26:22,119
Speaker 16: Now that I got a taste of a Super Bowl championship,

570
00:26:22,160 --> 00:26:24,720
Speaker 16: I'm going to you know, want to continue to work

571
00:26:24,760 --> 00:26:25,840
Speaker 16: towards that each and every year.

572
00:26:25,920 --> 00:26:27,440
Speaker 9: Man. But I'm a competitor.

573
00:26:27,440 --> 00:26:29,000
Speaker 16: I love the game of football and when to do

574
00:26:29,080 --> 00:26:30,880

588
00:27:07,840 --> 00:27:10,520
Speaker 1: our Sherry Burrs caught up with Jackson State defensive tackle

589
00:27:10,600 --> 00:27:11,640

590
00:27:13,280 --> 00:27:14,960
Speaker 13: Well Quincy day one here for us to get a

591
00:27:15,000 --> 00:27:16,639
Speaker 13: look at you guys and these scouts. What are you

592
00:27:16,720 --> 00:27:18,560
Speaker 13: hoping they take away from your performance this week?

593
00:27:19,240 --> 00:27:22,159
Speaker 18: Seeing my effort, seeing my talent on the national stage,

594
00:27:22,520 --> 00:27:24,080
Speaker 18: and just the love I have for the game.

595
00:27:24,400 --> 00:27:26,040
Speaker 12: Can you describe that love? What are they seeing out

596
00:27:26,080 --> 00:27:27,000
Speaker 12: there when you put the pads on.

597
00:27:27,600 --> 00:27:30,480
Speaker 18: The passion that I have, you know, the relationships I

598
00:27:30,600 --> 00:27:33,040
Speaker 18: take with my teammates, just being out here having.

599
00:27:32,920 --> 00:27:33,280
Speaker 17: Fun with it.

600
00:27:33,560 --> 00:27:34,440
Speaker 12: It's a unique story.

601
00:27:34,520 --> 00:27:36,800
Speaker 13: You were quarterback as the recruit coming out and played

602
00:27:36,800 --> 00:27:37,720
Speaker 13: in college ball a little bit.

603
00:27:37,920 --> 00:27:40,280
Speaker 12: Now you're a defensive lineman. How has that transition been

604
00:27:40,320 --> 00:27:40,480
Speaker 12: for you?

605
00:27:40,960 --> 00:27:42,399
Speaker 18: So actually be kind of fun, you know, using my

606
00:27:42,520 --> 00:27:44,920
Speaker 18: quarterback IQ to be on the deefent side of the ball,

607
00:27:45,200 --> 00:27:47,720
Speaker 18: seeing it from a different perspective and just playing the

608
00:27:47,760 --> 00:27:48,280
Speaker 18: game fast.

609
00:27:48,520 --> 00:27:50,320
Speaker 13: What is that unique perspective that you have that you

610
00:27:50,520 --> 00:27:52,840
Speaker 13: have the edge of knowing exactly what the offense is

611
00:27:52,920 --> 00:27:53,440
Speaker 13: doing out there.

612
00:27:53,680 --> 00:27:57,040
Speaker 18: Okay, so studying from a quarterbacks perspective, I know, formation recognition,

613
00:27:57,480 --> 00:28:01,440
Speaker 18: know how tight splits everything, you know, just seeing it

614
00:28:01,480 --> 00:28:03,360
Speaker 18: from a quarterback expect I'm just flipping it on that side.

615
00:28:03,400 --> 00:28:05,359
Speaker 18: So knowing what the quarterback is looking for, knowing how

616
00:28:05,400 --> 00:28:06,320
Speaker 18: the offense wants to run.

617
00:28:06,240 --> 00:28:08,080
Speaker 13: Their schemes and everything, and how do you feel like

618
00:28:08,119 --> 00:28:09,960
Speaker 13: you can display sort of that football IQ.

619
00:28:10,119 --> 00:28:12,400
Speaker 12: But also you're smart this week for the guys.

620
00:28:12,840 --> 00:28:14,520
Speaker 18: Sharing my knowledge. I mean, I can't just have all

621
00:28:14,560 --> 00:28:16,480
Speaker 18: the knowledge to myself, so trying to get my guys

622
00:28:16,520 --> 00:28:18,760
Speaker 18: on the right spots, having communication on the field, make

623
00:28:18,800 --> 00:28:19,840
Speaker 18: sure we're all on the same page.

624
00:28:20,080 --> 00:28:21,760
Speaker 13: You seemed like a really nice guy and it's been

625
00:28:21,840 --> 00:28:23,800
Speaker 13: great talking to you. We have a photo of you

626
00:28:23,920 --> 00:28:28,080
Speaker 13: holding up a board that just said not impressed you're laughing.

627
00:28:28,440 --> 00:28:29,719
Speaker 13: Give us a little bit more about that and how

628
00:28:29,760 --> 00:28:31,199
Speaker 13: they might speak to the kind of player you are.

629
00:28:31,440 --> 00:28:34,600
Speaker 18: Yeah, Robberie, we played Southern and they posted something on

630
00:28:34,680 --> 00:28:37,760
Speaker 18: social media and we don't take bullets A born me two.

631
00:28:37,880 --> 00:28:39,760
Speaker 18: But I just kind of remembered that after the game.

632
00:28:39,840 --> 00:28:41,920
Speaker 12: So well, we got some good luck. Hope we see

633
00:28:42,000 --> 00:28:43,040
Speaker 12: a little bit as spice out there.

634
00:28:43,120 --> 00:28:45,360
Speaker 1: Thank You don't know how big Quincy Ivory was in

635
00:28:45,440 --> 00:28:47,640
Speaker 1: high school, but that is not a quarterback and you

636
00:28:47,720 --> 00:28:51,280
Speaker 1: want to get in his way. HPC Legacy Bawl This Saturday,

Speaker 1: Join once again by Mark Ross. Mark, I know you

648
00:29:31,280 --> 00:29:34,760
Speaker 1: cannot wait to watch the Underwear Olympics all starts out

649
00:29:35,160 --> 00:29:37,200
Speaker 1: next Thursday. Let's talk about some of those big boys,

650
00:29:37,200 --> 00:29:40,760
Speaker 1: the defensive linemen here, specifically the ones on Bucky Brooks list.

651
00:29:40,800 --> 00:29:42,880
Speaker 1: And I know you love nothing more than taking a

652
00:29:42,960 --> 00:29:46,000
Speaker 1: Bucky Brooks list and then saying all the reasons that

653
00:29:46,120 --> 00:29:48,480
Speaker 1: it's wrong. Here, tell me some of these defensive tackles

654
00:29:48,520 --> 00:29:50,480
Speaker 1: on this list from Bucky that jump out of you.

655
00:29:52,360 --> 00:29:54,760
Speaker 19: Yeah, as usual, Bucky. You know, he does a great job.

656
00:29:54,840 --> 00:29:56,440
Speaker 19: A little bit out of order there. I'm a point

657
00:29:56,480 --> 00:29:58,960
Speaker 19: at the first guy there, at number three, Lee Hunter

658
00:29:59,120 --> 00:30:02,480
Speaker 19: from Texas to this guy is about six two, three

659
00:30:02,600 --> 00:30:05,560
Speaker 19: hundred and twenty plus pounds and he you talk about

660
00:30:05,640 --> 00:30:10,000
Speaker 19: controlling the line of scrimmage, he controls the line of scrimmage. Rugged, tough,

661
00:30:10,280 --> 00:30:13,440
Speaker 19: he's a bullionaire against the run, can really anchor, jolt

662
00:30:13,520 --> 00:30:16,200
Speaker 19: and shed blocks pass rush. She's gonna make a messon there.

663
00:30:16,200 --> 00:30:18,160
Speaker 19: It's not gonna get you, you know, ten sacks in there,

664
00:30:18,400 --> 00:30:20,720
Speaker 19: but he's gonna make a messonaire. Let the edge rushers

665
00:30:21,000 --> 00:30:23,200
Speaker 19: go do their job. So you love to have those

666
00:30:23,320 --> 00:30:25,720
Speaker 19: rugged guys in there. And then the next guy is

667
00:30:25,840 --> 00:30:30,960
Speaker 19: Caden McDonald from Ohio State. Very very similar to Lee Hunter.

668
00:30:31,120 --> 00:30:34,479
Speaker 19: I mean similar bill there. And here we go right

669
00:30:34,560 --> 00:30:37,160
Speaker 19: here with big Caden's similar building. See the guys almost

670
00:30:37,200 --> 00:30:40,440
Speaker 19: look alike, kind of similar skills set as well. He's strong,

671
00:30:40,560 --> 00:30:42,600
Speaker 19: he's rugged, he's tough, and the line of scrimmage can

672
00:30:42,640 --> 00:30:45,360
Speaker 19: really anchor. Might have a little bit more movement there

673
00:30:45,720 --> 00:30:47,920
Speaker 19: than Lee Hunter does, but still not going to be

674
00:30:48,000 --> 00:30:50,720
Speaker 19: that top flight pass rusher, but gonna make a mess

675
00:30:50,760 --> 00:30:53,240
Speaker 19: in there, and for these big guys, these teams. You're

676
00:30:53,240 --> 00:30:56,560
Speaker 19: gonna love having these two guys there making a mess

677
00:30:56,640 --> 00:30:58,200
Speaker 19: being being bullies inside for you.

678
00:31:01,320 --> 00:31:03,800
Speaker 6: Let's look at some smaller guys, the defensive backs.

679
00:31:03,920 --> 00:31:08,920
Speaker 2: Let's bring up Bucki's list of his top five defensive backs. Mark,

680
00:31:08,960 --> 00:31:10,920
Speaker 2: we want to hear you rip apart this. He's got

681
00:31:10,960 --> 00:31:13,160
Speaker 2: two guys from Tennessee on the list. Who catches your

682
00:31:13,200 --> 00:31:13,560
Speaker 2: eye here?

683
00:31:15,680 --> 00:31:16,440
Speaker 6: Now he crushed it.

684
00:31:16,560 --> 00:31:19,320
Speaker 19: He crushed it on the dv's Jemal McCoy right there.

685
00:31:19,600 --> 00:31:21,280
Speaker 19: I'm going to talk about em in Coltonhood.

686
00:31:21,360 --> 00:31:21,840
Speaker 9: His teammate.

687
00:31:22,160 --> 00:31:24,720
Speaker 19: McCoy's my number one guy as well. He missed all

688
00:31:24,840 --> 00:31:27,800
Speaker 19: of this year with a torn acl but last season.

689
00:31:27,960 --> 00:31:30,560
Speaker 19: I mean, he is the most electric athlete out of

690
00:31:30,720 --> 00:31:33,880
Speaker 19: all of these corners. Really can change direction in space,

691
00:31:33,960 --> 00:31:37,680
Speaker 19: really has explosiveness breaking on the ball, deep speed, also

692
00:31:37,800 --> 00:31:40,720
Speaker 19: has ball skills. He's super aggressive, almost too aggressive. A

693
00:31:40,720 --> 00:31:43,680
Speaker 19: lot of penalties there with some of the stuff he does.

694
00:31:44,120 --> 00:31:46,880
Speaker 19: But this will be gigantic. Unlike the big fellows, don't

695
00:31:46,880 --> 00:31:49,600
Speaker 19: care about the combine. This will be a huge test

696
00:31:49,680 --> 00:31:52,320
Speaker 19: for him with the combine one with the medical checks,

697
00:31:52,360 --> 00:31:54,400
Speaker 19: with all the teams and two if he's actually going

698
00:31:54,480 --> 00:31:56,760
Speaker 19: to work out and run and do all the drills.

699
00:31:56,800 --> 00:31:58,520
Speaker 19: Because if he does, and he does that at a

700
00:31:58,640 --> 00:32:01,480
Speaker 19: high level, you know those eight A questions will be

701
00:32:01,560 --> 00:32:04,840
Speaker 19: put to the side. Then his teammate there Colton Hood,

702
00:32:04,880 --> 00:32:07,320
Speaker 19: who did play this year, which gave him a chance

703
00:32:07,960 --> 00:32:09,400
Speaker 19: to be more in the spotlight.

704
00:32:09,720 --> 00:32:11,480
Speaker 6: This guy's a classic press corner.

705
00:32:11,520 --> 00:32:14,440
Speaker 19: The way he plays up on the line, he's physical,

706
00:32:14,840 --> 00:32:17,040
Speaker 19: he can run and flip his hips. He gets a

707
00:32:17,080 --> 00:32:19,440
Speaker 19: little bit trouble when he is out in space, so

708
00:32:19,680 --> 00:32:21,720
Speaker 19: this will be huge for him at the combine with

709
00:32:21,880 --> 00:32:24,240
Speaker 19: those changes of direction drills. Also with the hands, it

710
00:32:24,320 --> 00:32:26,960
Speaker 19: gets a little gravvy downfield, so the teams will really

711
00:32:27,000 --> 00:32:30,320
Speaker 19: be looking at those ball skills and ability to catch

712
00:32:30,360 --> 00:32:33,200
Speaker 19: the ball. But both of these guys are super intriguing prospects,

713
00:32:33,280 --> 00:32:36,440
Speaker 19: completely different skill sets and this combine week will be

714
00:32:36,520 --> 00:32:38,400
Speaker 19: huge for both for different reasons.

715
00:32:39,160 --> 00:32:40,360
Speaker 6: Welcome back to the inserters.

716
00:32:40,440 --> 00:32:45,400
Speaker 2: We have live football this Saturday, the HBCU Legacy Bowl.

717
00:32:46,200 --> 00:32:50,560
Speaker 2: That's this Saturday, four pm Eastern from New Orleans. It's

718
00:32:50,680 --> 00:32:54,280
Speaker 2: on the NFL networker Steve Weisch, Bucky Brooks, Charles Davis,

719
00:32:54,360 --> 00:32:57,200
Speaker 2: and Cherry Burst are all on the call, and here's

720
00:32:57,280 --> 00:32:59,320
Speaker 2: our team in New Orleans right now.

721
00:32:59,640 --> 00:33:02,840
Speaker 13: Well from Tulange University here ahead of the twenty twenty

722
00:33:02,960 --> 00:33:06,160
Speaker 13: six All State HBCU Legacy Ball. I'm Sherry Burris here

723
00:33:06,200 --> 00:33:08,800
Speaker 13: with Steve Witch Bucky Brooks. We get ready for the

724
00:33:08,840 --> 00:33:11,520
Speaker 13: game on Saturday. Guys, today was the second practice, our

725
00:33:11,560 --> 00:33:15,240
Speaker 13: first to really see them. Steve d Fence, that group

726
00:33:15,360 --> 00:33:16,960
Speaker 13: really stood out on both sides.

727
00:33:16,680 --> 00:33:19,280
Speaker 20: Her Okay, absolutely, I mean a lot of all conference

728
00:33:19,320 --> 00:33:21,560
Speaker 20: players on both sides. But let's start out with Morgan

729
00:33:21,640 --> 00:33:26,000
Speaker 20: State linebacker Bucky Eric Hunter, a dominant player in practice today.

730
00:33:26,080 --> 00:33:28,880
Speaker 20: He's one of the best players at this level in

731
00:33:29,040 --> 00:33:31,000
Speaker 20: college football. You talk to a lot of the NFL

732
00:33:31,040 --> 00:33:32,760
Speaker 20: scouts that were here, what they tell you.

733
00:33:32,960 --> 00:33:35,440
Speaker 17: Everybody's raving about the meach monster, a guy who can

734
00:33:35,480 --> 00:33:37,800
Speaker 17: get it done in a variety of different ways. When

735
00:33:37,800 --> 00:33:40,719
Speaker 17: you see him play inside announside, the versatility really stood out.

736
00:33:40,840 --> 00:33:43,080
Speaker 17: But in talking to scouts they talk about the speed,

737
00:33:43,280 --> 00:33:46,400
Speaker 17: the range, sideline, the sideline ability, but their overall phils

738
00:33:46,440 --> 00:33:47,920
Speaker 17: the keality gives him a chance to play.

739
00:33:47,800 --> 00:33:49,400
Speaker 20: The next level, and he jumped off at the American

740
00:33:49,440 --> 00:33:51,600
Speaker 20: Bowl too, So this is his second big opportunity but

741
00:33:51,720 --> 00:33:55,680
Speaker 20: also we're talking about defense. Quincy Ivory, the Swack Defensive

742
00:33:55,680 --> 00:33:57,800
Speaker 20: Player of the Year, off the edge from Jackson State,

743
00:33:58,240 --> 00:34:01,240
Speaker 20: he was a true outside linebacker as she dropped in coverage.

744
00:34:01,400 --> 00:34:02,960
Speaker 20: But Bucky here, he's gonna be a four to three

745
00:34:03,040 --> 00:34:05,240
Speaker 20: defensive end. A lot of just setting the edge and

746
00:34:05,440 --> 00:34:08,480
Speaker 20: getting after the quarterback. Put on your scouting hat. What

747
00:34:08,600 --> 00:34:10,480
Speaker 20: does that mean that he's gonna be going more forward

748
00:34:10,560 --> 00:34:12,320
Speaker 20: and not worried about other things like coverage.

749
00:34:12,400 --> 00:34:13,680
Speaker 17: Well, look we've seen it. We saw it in the

750
00:34:13,680 --> 00:34:16,960
Speaker 17: Super Bowl, positionless balls, everything. Guys that can stand up

751
00:34:17,040 --> 00:34:18,800
Speaker 17: or put the hand in the dirt have an opportunity

752
00:34:18,800 --> 00:34:20,279
Speaker 17: to make plays. But he is a guy who is

753
00:34:20,400 --> 00:34:23,279
Speaker 17: very impactful, can rush the passer, can stand up and

754
00:34:23,360 --> 00:34:25,279
Speaker 17: make plays in coverage. This week, being able to show

755
00:34:25,280 --> 00:34:26,800
Speaker 17: that he can rush the passer is only going to

756
00:34:26,840 --> 00:34:27,319
Speaker 17: help him stop.

757
00:34:27,480 --> 00:34:29,520
Speaker 12: It's gonna be tough slutting there for the offenses.

758
00:34:29,760 --> 00:34:33,200
Speaker 13: Looking ahead though, to tomorrow, we are anticipating running back

759
00:34:33,360 --> 00:34:36,520
Speaker 13: Curtis Allen. He's the first HBCU player to win the

760
00:34:36,600 --> 00:34:40,200
Speaker 13: Division two Heisman Trophies, so certainly someone we're looking forward

761
00:34:40,239 --> 00:34:43,400
Speaker 13: to to seeing tomorrow. Here, Marty grat is over but

762
00:34:43,520 --> 00:34:45,920
Speaker 13: that does not stop the celebration for these guys who

763
00:34:46,000 --> 00:34:48,279
Speaker 13: are out here looking to take that next step towards

764
00:34:48,280 --> 00:34:49,200
Speaker 13: their NFL journey.

765
00:34:49,680 --> 00:34:52,880
Speaker 2: Legacy Ball is a big opportunity to get on scouts radar.

766
00:34:52,920 --> 00:34:55,760
Speaker 2: In case you need a reminder, here are some players

767
00:34:55,800 --> 00:34:59,600
Speaker 2: who started at HBCU school. Some of them finished elsewhere,

768
00:34:59,719 --> 00:35:01,560
Speaker 2: some of stayed there all the way through. Of course,

769
00:35:01,600 --> 00:35:05,279
Speaker 2: Shador Sanders and Travia Hunter just jump off the screen there.

770
00:35:05,480 --> 00:35:08,640
Speaker 2: Kobe Durant, Titus Howard, a bunch of guys have come

771
00:35:08,719 --> 00:35:12,480
Speaker 2: from HBCUs Again. The Legacy Bowl is this Saturday on

772
00:35:12,600 --> 00:35:15,840
Speaker 2: the NFL Network. A real chance for those players to

773
00:35:16,040 --> 00:35:19,200
Speaker 2: get on the screens of teams. And when we return,

774
00:35:19,880 --> 00:35:21,800
Speaker 2: we're going to take a look at free agents you

775
00:35:21,880 --> 00:35:25,600
Speaker 2: are coming out of AFC teams this offseason. Mark Ross

776
00:35:25,719 --> 00:35:27,400
Speaker 2: is going to be back with us to discuss who

777
00:35:27,440 --> 00:35:29,000
Speaker 2: we should be keeping an eye on. There are some

778
00:35:29,239 --> 00:35:30,560
Speaker 2: big names on the list.

779
00:35:50,360 --> 00:35:53,640
Speaker 1: Another day, another departure from Cleveland. This time it's three

780
00:35:53,719 --> 00:35:57,040
Speaker 1: time Pro Bowl guard Wyatt Teller, who along with his wife,

781
00:35:57,520 --> 00:36:00,840
Speaker 1: took to Instagram today to announce he will not be

782
00:36:00,960 --> 00:36:03,839
Speaker 1: returning to the Browns. Tight End David and Jok who

783
00:36:03,920 --> 00:36:07,200
Speaker 1: made a similar announcement last week. Teller and the rest

784
00:36:07,320 --> 00:36:10,960
Speaker 1: of the Browns offensive lineman all free agents set to

785
00:36:11,040 --> 00:36:14,160
Speaker 1: hit the market on March eleventh. Welcome back to the insiders,

786
00:36:14,200 --> 00:36:17,560
Speaker 1: Tom Pilasero Judy Batiz to join once again by R

787
00:36:17,719 --> 00:36:20,480
Speaker 1: Mark Ross. Let's dig in. Three weeks from today, Mark,

788
00:36:20,520 --> 00:36:24,160
Speaker 1: the floodgates are officially open the signing period the new

789
00:36:24,239 --> 00:36:27,280
Speaker 1: league year begins. Look at the AFC side of things today.

790
00:36:27,600 --> 00:36:29,920
Speaker 1: Let's start out in the AFC East. Some of the

791
00:36:30,040 --> 00:36:33,000
Speaker 1: top free agents who are available a minimum, some of

792
00:36:33,040 --> 00:36:35,719
Speaker 1: the big name free agents who out there right on

793
00:36:35,880 --> 00:36:37,520
Speaker 1: this list, Mark stands out to you.

794
00:36:39,480 --> 00:36:42,280
Speaker 19: Well, the interesting name there is Breece Hall and Judy

795
00:36:42,400 --> 00:36:45,320
Speaker 19: you know, wrote article last week having him as possible

796
00:36:45,520 --> 00:36:48,360
Speaker 19: tag candidate there from the Jets. And that's the interesting

797
00:36:48,640 --> 00:36:51,160
Speaker 19: dilemma there are they going to let him walk, you

798
00:36:51,239 --> 00:36:53,120
Speaker 19: know as they did you know a Sauce Gardner. You're

799
00:36:53,440 --> 00:36:56,120
Speaker 19: surprised that they let him go at that time. You'll

800
00:36:56,160 --> 00:36:58,680
Speaker 19: trade him at that time or keep him around as

801
00:36:58,719 --> 00:37:01,160
Speaker 19: a building block. And for for Breee as a free agent,

802
00:37:01,280 --> 00:37:03,480
Speaker 19: there's a lot of good free agents running back, So

803
00:37:03,800 --> 00:37:06,880
Speaker 19: what will the market be for him? So they're definitely

804
00:37:06,920 --> 00:37:08,440
Speaker 19: the interesting dilemma for the Jets.

805
00:37:10,880 --> 00:37:14,279
Speaker 2: All right, let's look at the AFC North list of

806
00:37:15,000 --> 00:37:17,719
Speaker 2: free agents. I bet I'm going to be able to

807
00:37:17,840 --> 00:37:20,319
Speaker 2: guess who is going to catch your eye on this list,

808
00:37:20,360 --> 00:37:22,960
Speaker 2: and I'm betting it's practically the same person who might

809
00:37:23,000 --> 00:37:25,360
Speaker 2: have caught your eye last year at this time.

810
00:37:25,320 --> 00:37:25,720
Speaker 9: Mark.

811
00:37:27,440 --> 00:37:30,120
Speaker 19: Not Aaron Rodgers. Let's go with Trey Hendrickson. Let's keep

812
00:37:30,160 --> 00:37:33,960
Speaker 19: the Trey Henderson drama each year of where he will be.

813
00:37:34,200 --> 00:37:36,840
Speaker 19: And you know the interesting thing about Trey Henderson. I

814
00:37:36,920 --> 00:37:38,600
Speaker 19: talked about this the other day with some free agent.

815
00:37:38,680 --> 00:37:40,640
Speaker 19: He's got a couple strikes against him. He's not even

816
00:37:40,680 --> 00:37:43,000
Speaker 19: getting any younger. He's thirty one years old, and he

817
00:37:43,160 --> 00:37:46,160
Speaker 19: was injured again last year. So if you're a team

818
00:37:46,280 --> 00:37:49,000
Speaker 19: on the outside thinking about Trey Henderson, you know, what

819
00:37:49,239 --> 00:37:51,480
Speaker 19: is the value you're going to put in that? Because

820
00:37:51,560 --> 00:37:54,800
Speaker 19: in my experience, guys don't get more healthy and younger

821
00:37:55,840 --> 00:37:58,440
Speaker 19: later on. So what does he actually have left? And

822
00:37:58,520 --> 00:38:01,640
Speaker 19: for Cincinnati, you know, is it finally time and say okay,

823
00:38:01,719 --> 00:38:03,600
Speaker 19: let's just move on from Trey instead of having this

824
00:38:03,719 --> 00:38:04,840
Speaker 19: drama every season.

825
00:38:06,520 --> 00:38:09,680
Speaker 1: Trey Henderson certainly is rooting for that outcome that Cincinnati

826
00:38:09,760 --> 00:38:12,520
Speaker 1: movesn allows him to become a free agent. Let's head

827
00:38:12,560 --> 00:38:15,640
Speaker 1: to the AFC South, where Mark there are some names

828
00:38:15,920 --> 00:38:20,239
Speaker 1: in Jacksonville that hypothetically would be franchise tag candidates, but

829
00:38:20,640 --> 00:38:23,520
Speaker 1: this is not always a team weapon for things like linebackers.

830
00:38:23,560 --> 00:38:26,200
Speaker 1: With Devin Lloyd, the number would be astronomical and it's

831
00:38:26,200 --> 00:38:28,399
Speaker 1: not real team friendly on Travis Etn either.

832
00:38:30,000 --> 00:38:33,120
Speaker 19: Yeah, seriously, and that linebacker number is almost out of

833
00:38:33,200 --> 00:38:37,600
Speaker 19: whack compared to some other position groups there. So yeah,

834
00:38:37,680 --> 00:38:40,960
Speaker 19: that's the problem in Jacksonville doesn't really have the cap

835
00:38:41,040 --> 00:38:43,600
Speaker 19: space to be able to do that, certainly not keep both.

836
00:38:43,680 --> 00:38:46,400
Speaker 19: So the best course of action to try to extend

837
00:38:46,480 --> 00:38:48,640
Speaker 19: him to keep him around. But I mean, he hits

838
00:38:48,680 --> 00:38:51,200
Speaker 19: the open market, he's going to be big time paid

839
00:38:51,239 --> 00:38:54,320
Speaker 19: because he finally showed that promise that he where he

840
00:38:54,440 --> 00:38:56,160
Speaker 19: was taken in the first round of being the second

841
00:38:56,200 --> 00:38:58,920
Speaker 19: team All Pro player, which I thought he always could be.

842
00:39:01,680 --> 00:39:04,760
Speaker 2: All right, let's finish it up with the AFC West.

843
00:39:04,960 --> 00:39:07,600
Speaker 2: Some big names there from the Broncos, the Chiefs.

844
00:39:07,800 --> 00:39:08,360
Speaker 9: We know that.

845
00:39:08,920 --> 00:39:11,080
Speaker 2: Well, we'll see what happens with Travis Kelce. But who's

846
00:39:11,080 --> 00:39:11,839
Speaker 2: catching your eye here?

847
00:39:13,719 --> 00:39:15,279
Speaker 9: Well, that's a way, you know.

848
00:39:15,320 --> 00:39:18,440
Speaker 19: A Dafe Oway from the Chargers and just the intriguing

849
00:39:18,520 --> 00:39:20,960
Speaker 19: where the back and forth of what exactly is a

850
00:39:21,080 --> 00:39:23,759
Speaker 19: player after the ten sacks last year, a lot of

851
00:39:23,840 --> 00:39:26,440
Speaker 19: promise for the Ravens and then he had none, like

852
00:39:26,520 --> 00:39:28,680
Speaker 19: he didn't do anything first half of the season. Then

853
00:39:28,760 --> 00:39:30,800
Speaker 19: goes to the Chargers get seven and a half sacks,

854
00:39:31,040 --> 00:39:33,399
Speaker 19: gets three in a playoff game. So will the real

855
00:39:33,440 --> 00:39:36,040
Speaker 19: Adaffe ohways stand up? And that's really the question that

856
00:39:36,120 --> 00:39:38,279
Speaker 19: teams are going to be digging into the film of

857
00:39:38,600 --> 00:39:39,480
Speaker 19: what is this guy?

858
00:39:39,640 --> 00:39:40,560
Speaker 6: What is his value?

859
00:39:40,600 --> 00:39:42,520
Speaker 19: And if we do give him this, will he be

860
00:39:42,680 --> 00:39:44,920
Speaker 19: the zero sat guy at the Ravens or the monster

861
00:39:45,040 --> 00:39:46,840
Speaker 19: that we saw later on at the year And the

862
00:39:46,920 --> 00:39:47,919
Speaker 19: Chargers know that best.

863
00:39:48,000 --> 00:39:50,600
Speaker 9: So what will they do within.

864
00:39:52,520 --> 00:39:56,360
Speaker 1: Three weeks away from free agency officially opening March third,

865
00:39:56,640 --> 00:40:00,480
Speaker 1: the deadline for applying those franchise and transition tags. Thank

866
00:40:00,520 --> 00:40:02,919
Speaker 1: you as always, we'll keep doing this for another three

867
00:40:02,960 --> 00:40:05,160
Speaker 1: weeks here. We had a lot of guests coming up

868
00:40:05,160 --> 00:40:07,800
Speaker 1: the next couple of days here on The Insiders. Tomorrow,

869
00:40:08,120 --> 00:40:11,319

Speaker 1: dollar man from Seattle, joins the show. Then on Friday

872
00:40:17,440 --> 00:40:20,799
Speaker 1: of the Year, sa Kwan Barkley, joins the show as well.

873
00:40:20,920 --> 00:40:23,480
Speaker 1: Set on the table for the off season ahead with

874
00:40:23,560 --> 00:40:24,359
Speaker 1: a couple of the best.

875
00:40:25,120 --> 00:40:28,960
Speaker 2: On Saturday, February fourteenth, the Washington Commander's Big Bear AI

876
00:40:29,120 --> 00:40:33,000
Speaker 2: Performance Center hosted a collegiate girls flag matchup between Merrimount

877
00:40:33,120 --> 00:40:36,840
Speaker 2: University and the University of Virginia girls flag football teams

878
00:40:36,920 --> 00:40:40,960
Speaker 2: after recent winter storms left the team's fields unusable. The

879
00:40:41,080 --> 00:40:44,640
Speaker 2: game follows another exciting milestone in the sports rapid assent,

880
00:40:44,840 --> 00:40:48,920
Speaker 2: the NCAA's recent designation of flag football as an emerging

881
00:40:49,000 --> 00:40:52,320
Speaker 2: sport for women, and it reflects the Commander's commitment to

882
00:40:52,440 --> 00:40:56,640
Speaker 2: supporting female athletes at every level in the Washington, DC area.

883
00:40:57,080 --> 00:41:00,520
Speaker 2: The sports momentum is driven by pioneers like Merrimount University

884
00:41:00,600 --> 00:41:04,520
Speaker 2: head coach Mike Rivera, who founded the nationally recognized Virginia

885
00:41:04,600 --> 00:41:08,560
Speaker 2: Hurricanes Youth girls Flag program over fifteen years ago and

886
00:41:08,640 --> 00:41:11,160
Speaker 2: has been a crucial partner to the Commanders as they

887
00:41:11,239 --> 00:41:15,640
Speaker 2: work to expand together to girls' flag opportunities across the region.

888
00:41:17,400 --> 00:41:20,320

895
00:41:41,280 --> 00:41:45,360
Speaker 1: off Sweden two to one in overtime in men's hockey.

896
00:41:45,520 --> 00:41:49,279
Speaker 1: Look at that taking in the Olympics, a very very

897
00:41:49,440 --> 00:41:53,759
Speaker 1: patriotic Christian McCaffery along with George Kittle and Kittle's dad

898
00:41:53,840 --> 00:41:56,800
Speaker 1: who still looks like he could block an oncoming defensive

899
00:41:56,920 --> 00:42:00,279
Speaker 1: end right now. Quinn Hughes the hero of the day

900
00:42:00,680 --> 00:42:04,799
Speaker 1: for Team USA. Judy I like personally the uniforms being

901
00:42:04,920 --> 00:42:08,080
Speaker 1: back as well. That was the classic Team USA. It

902
00:42:08,200 --> 00:42:10,800
Speaker 1: felt it felt like a moment in time. It was

903
00:42:10,880 --> 00:42:14,840
Speaker 1: fun to watch it did we were screaming here. Jonathan

904
00:42:14,920 --> 00:42:17,919
Speaker 1: Owens was also there with his wife Simone Files. Lots

905
00:42:17,960 --> 00:42:21,560
Speaker 1: of NFL people around the Olympics. It's clearly the off

906
00:42:21,600 --> 00:42:23,799
Speaker 1: season for the NFL and for all my friends who

907
00:42:23,840 --> 00:42:27,320
Speaker 1: are Minnesota Wild fans. Complained about that trade. Queen Hughes,

908
00:42:27,400 --> 00:42:29,560

Speaker 1: See it's in an easter tomorrow
