There's Kyle Brandt there in New 8 00:00:36,148 --> 00:00:38,828 Speaker 3: York City. We like pride ourselves here on GMFFE being 9 00:00:38,868 --> 00:00:42,468 Speaker 3: coast to coast. Gentlemen, we take the lead block out 10 00:00:42,468 --> 00:00:45,268 Speaker 3: to you first, because Peter, you've been enjoying the past 11 00:00:45,308 --> 00:00:47,428 Speaker 3: couple days away from us. We need your takes on 12 00:00:47,468 --> 00:00:50,468 Speaker 3: the following topics because there's a lot to unpack. We 13 00:00:50,508 --> 00:00:53,708 Speaker 3: begin with Brian Flores's response to a tongue of Iloa. 14 00:00:53,708 --> 00:00:56,508 Speaker 3: If you missed it first, We're going to start with Tua. 15 00:00:56,668 --> 00:00:58,908 Speaker 3: We'll set the table there. Two days ago, Tua was 16 00:00:58,948 --> 00:01:02,028 Speaker 3: on jan Lebtard Show and he was asked about the 17 00:01:02,068 --> 00:01:05,468 Speaker 3: inherent differences between Brian Flores as a head coach of 18 00:01:05,508 --> 00:01:08,068 Speaker 3: the Miami Dolphins into his first few years in Miami 19 00:01:08,268 --> 00:01:10,748 Speaker 3: compared to what Mike McDaniel has done for Tua in 20 00:01:10,748 --> 00:01:15,388 Speaker 3: the last few years. Tua was very specific about the changes. 21 00:01:16,588 --> 00:01:19,708 Speaker 4: If you woke up every morning and I told you 22 00:01:19,708 --> 00:01:23,148 Speaker 4: you suck at what you did, that you don't belong 23 00:01:23,628 --> 00:01:27,708 Speaker 4: doing what you do, that you shouldn't be here, that 24 00:01:28,268 --> 00:01:31,228 Speaker 4: this guy should be here, that you haven't earned this right, 25 00:01:31,588 --> 00:01:34,508 Speaker 4: and then you have somebody else come in and tell you, dude, 26 00:01:34,708 --> 00:01:37,868 Speaker 4: you are the best fit for this, like you are accurate, 27 00:01:38,148 --> 00:01:40,628 Speaker 4: you are the best whatever you are this you are that, 28 00:01:41,148 --> 00:01:43,708 Speaker 4: Like how would it make you feel listening to one 29 00:01:43,828 --> 00:01:45,908 Speaker 4: or the other? You see what I'm saying, and then 30 00:01:45,948 --> 00:01:48,388 Speaker 4: you hear it. You hear it regardless of what it is, 31 00:01:48,468 --> 00:01:51,028 Speaker 4: the good or the bad, and you hear it more 32 00:01:51,068 --> 00:01:53,468 Speaker 4: and more you start to actually believe that, I don't 33 00:01:53,508 --> 00:01:55,548 Speaker 4: care who you are, you can be the president of 34 00:01:55,548 --> 00:01:59,028 Speaker 4: the United States. You have a terrible person that's telling 35 00:01:59,068 --> 00:02:02,108 Speaker 4: you things that you don't want to hear or that 36 00:02:02,628 --> 00:02:03,948 Speaker 4: you probably shouldn't be hearing. 37 00:02:04,388 --> 00:02:06,468 Speaker 2: You're going to start to believe that about yourself. And 38 00:02:06,508 --> 00:02:08,668 Speaker 2: so that's sort of like what ended up happening. 39 00:02:08,828 --> 00:02:12,508 Speaker 4: And it was basically been what two years of training 40 00:02:12,548 --> 00:02:15,028 Speaker 4: that out of not just me, but you know a 41 00:02:15,068 --> 00:02:16,988 Speaker 4: couple of the guys as well that have been here 42 00:02:17,028 --> 00:02:17,988 Speaker 4: since my rookie year. 43 00:02:18,988 --> 00:02:19,228 Speaker 5: Now. 44 00:02:19,348 --> 00:02:21,788 Speaker 3: Yesterday, Brian Flores was scheduled to meet with the media. 45 00:02:21,828 --> 00:02:24,708 Speaker 3: Flores now is the defensive coordinator with the Minnesota Vikings, 46 00:02:24,748 --> 00:02:27,268 Speaker 3: and he appeared at the podium flanked by a few 47 00:02:27,268 --> 00:02:30,308 Speaker 3: players that play for the Vikings currently. Many thought that 48 00:02:30,428 --> 00:02:34,188 Speaker 3: as support of Flores as he addressed to his comments. 49 00:02:34,708 --> 00:02:37,468 Speaker 6: Look, I'm human, so that hit me in a way 50 00:02:37,508 --> 00:02:39,988 Speaker 6: that you know wasn't I wouldn't say it was positive 51 00:02:40,028 --> 00:02:43,108 Speaker 6: for me. But at the same time, you know, I've 52 00:02:43,148 --> 00:02:45,028 Speaker 6: got to use that and say, hey, how can I 53 00:02:45,068 --> 00:02:47,508 Speaker 6: how can I grow from that? How can I be better? 54 00:02:47,868 --> 00:02:50,508 Speaker 6: And that's really that's really where I'm at from from 55 00:02:50,508 --> 00:02:53,988 Speaker 6: that standpoint. Do I feel like, you know that's me? 56 00:02:55,028 --> 00:02:55,148 Speaker 7: No? 57 00:02:56,348 --> 00:02:59,188 Speaker 6: But how can I grow from that situation and create 58 00:02:59,228 --> 00:03:01,588 Speaker 6: a create a world where that's not the case that 59 00:03:01,628 --> 00:03:03,828 Speaker 6: anyone says that about about Brian Flores. 60 00:03:04,468 --> 00:03:07,188 Speaker 3: In the spirit of two sides to every story, Peter, 61 00:03:07,348 --> 00:03:09,428 Speaker 3: we at the table, Kyle was here with us, got 62 00:03:09,468 --> 00:03:12,148 Speaker 3: to kind of unpack to his comments first, and now 63 00:03:12,188 --> 00:03:14,068 Speaker 3: we're all going to respond to Brian Flores. But since 64 00:03:14,068 --> 00:03:15,908 Speaker 3: we didn't get to chat yesterday, Peter, I want to 65 00:03:15,908 --> 00:03:18,148 Speaker 3: hear what you have to think about Tua and then 66 00:03:18,228 --> 00:03:19,268 Speaker 3: take us to Brian Flores. 67 00:03:19,628 --> 00:03:21,788 Speaker 8: Well, I think the entirety of this is actually a 68 00:03:21,788 --> 00:03:28,308 Speaker 8: really good public conversation about coaching, about playing, about mental health. 69 00:03:28,548 --> 00:03:29,988 Speaker 8: I think it's really good to have this out in 70 00:03:30,028 --> 00:03:32,628 Speaker 8: the open. And Flores comes from the old school, Belichick, 71 00:03:32,668 --> 00:03:34,548 Speaker 8: you just packed it. Nothing leaves this building. We don't 72 00:03:34,548 --> 00:03:36,948 Speaker 8: talk publicly, we don't air it out. But when Tua 73 00:03:36,988 --> 00:03:39,228 Speaker 8: is going to name his name and really be as 74 00:03:39,588 --> 00:03:43,348 Speaker 8: vulnerable and as candid as he was, Flores has to respond. 75 00:03:43,388 --> 00:03:45,188 Speaker 8: And I think it's comfortable for Flores to probably go 76 00:03:45,228 --> 00:03:46,708 Speaker 8: up there to be like, look, I'm a Vikings coach 77 00:03:46,748 --> 00:03:49,268 Speaker 8: that was years ago. Like I'm focusing on what Harrison 78 00:03:49,308 --> 00:03:51,748 Speaker 8: Smith does on defense. No, I'll talk about it. Here's 79 00:03:51,748 --> 00:03:53,788 Speaker 8: what I know about Brian Flores. I know Brian Flores 80 00:03:54,148 --> 00:03:57,828 Speaker 8: grew up in Brownsville, New York, in a rough area 81 00:03:58,188 --> 00:04:00,788 Speaker 8: of Brooklyn, if I'm being candid, went to Poly Prep 82 00:04:00,788 --> 00:04:03,828 Speaker 8: where he was a star player, goes to BC. 83 00:04:04,028 --> 00:04:06,148 Speaker 9: And he said in that press conference. 84 00:04:05,908 --> 00:04:08,828 Speaker 8: Yesterday that we didn't call like look, look like coaches 85 00:04:08,828 --> 00:04:11,628 Speaker 8: are my are my idols growing up? Like my Pop 86 00:04:11,628 --> 00:04:13,828 Speaker 8: Warner coach like took me out of a bad situation 87 00:04:13,948 --> 00:04:15,708 Speaker 8: for a lot of other people and made my life 88 00:04:15,868 --> 00:04:18,388 Speaker 8: like gave me a light my high school coach at 89 00:04:18,388 --> 00:04:21,028 Speaker 8: poly Prep like really like was my you know, my 90 00:04:21,188 --> 00:04:23,948 Speaker 8: guiding light in that situation to b c to that 91 00:04:24,108 --> 00:04:25,788 Speaker 8: he loved it so much that he wanted to become 92 00:04:25,788 --> 00:04:28,668 Speaker 8: a coach himself. I think that Brian probably saw that 93 00:04:28,708 --> 00:04:30,468 Speaker 8: and I didn't speak to him, and I haven't spoken 94 00:04:30,468 --> 00:04:33,028 Speaker 8: to Flora's on the Tua situation in quite a while, 95 00:04:33,068 --> 00:04:35,228 Speaker 8: but like, I think he had to see that and say, Okay, 96 00:04:35,588 --> 00:04:37,788 Speaker 8: it's finally my time to address this. And he didn't 97 00:04:37,828 --> 00:04:41,068 Speaker 8: say yeah, but Tua stunk or Tua shouted aplay, or 98 00:04:41,068 --> 00:04:43,828 Speaker 8: I wanted I wanted justin Herbert or Ryan Fitzpatrick was there, 99 00:04:43,828 --> 00:04:45,788 Speaker 8: why would we start Tua? And said he was, like, 100 00:04:46,148 --> 00:04:49,028 Speaker 8: I heard that, it hurt, and we're moving on, and 101 00:04:49,668 --> 00:04:51,628 Speaker 8: you know, it wasn't easy for him to listen to that. 102 00:04:52,028 --> 00:04:54,868 Speaker 8: The fact that we're having this public conversation about being 103 00:04:54,908 --> 00:04:58,068 Speaker 8: discouraging and talking down to players and talking about that 104 00:04:58,148 --> 00:05:02,228 Speaker 8: wasn't happening in the Parcels era. That wasn't happening necessarily 105 00:05:02,268 --> 00:05:05,188 Speaker 8: in the Belichick era. So we look at coaches now 106 00:05:05,228 --> 00:05:07,188 Speaker 8: where do players always want to play. They want to 107 00:05:07,228 --> 00:05:09,588 Speaker 8: go to LA to play for Sean McVay because it 108 00:05:09,588 --> 00:05:11,628 Speaker 8: looks like it's a blast. They want to go play 109 00:05:11,668 --> 00:05:14,628 Speaker 8: for Andy Reid because he makes the best version of yourself. 110 00:05:14,668 --> 00:05:17,748 Speaker 8: Like the era of I'm coach, your player, I talked 111 00:05:17,788 --> 00:05:19,548 Speaker 8: down to you, and I'm a red you know what, 112 00:05:19,668 --> 00:05:20,548 Speaker 8: and you're gonna get out of it. 113 00:05:20,628 --> 00:05:21,748 Speaker 1: I don't know if that exists anymore. 114 00:05:21,748 --> 00:05:24,508 Speaker 8: Even Sean Payton, who's an old school coach, has seemingly 115 00:05:24,548 --> 00:05:26,868 Speaker 8: softened a little bit in this era as opposed to 116 00:05:26,948 --> 00:05:29,508 Speaker 8: his early days with the Saints. I love that we're 117 00:05:29,508 --> 00:05:32,268 Speaker 8: having the public conversation, and I love that Flora's addressed 118 00:05:32,308 --> 00:05:34,148 Speaker 8: them publicly and did so in such a way where 119 00:05:34,308 --> 00:05:36,788 Speaker 8: he didn't disrespect to it, and he also didn't deny anything. 120 00:05:36,868 --> 00:05:38,788 Speaker 8: Is that here's where we're at. We're moving on, and 121 00:05:39,628 --> 00:05:41,468 Speaker 8: it's unfortunate that he talked about it that way and 122 00:05:41,508 --> 00:05:42,388 Speaker 8: that was his experience. 123 00:05:42,668 --> 00:05:44,708 Speaker 9: Yeah, And the part that I loved was the fact that, 124 00:05:44,788 --> 00:05:46,948 Speaker 9: you know, in the beginning of that press conference, he 125 00:05:46,988 --> 00:05:48,828 Speaker 9: says that he was going to learn from this, and 126 00:05:48,868 --> 00:05:51,988 Speaker 9: I think that's really all that you can do is 127 00:05:52,028 --> 00:05:55,708 Speaker 9: really learn from that situation. And I'm sure even in 128 00:05:55,748 --> 00:05:59,908 Speaker 9: it hurting him, Brian Flora saying that there's an area 129 00:05:59,988 --> 00:06:03,548 Speaker 9: for growth and that recognition, not going taking the high 130 00:06:03,588 --> 00:06:06,108 Speaker 9: road and not kind of going back at Tua. I thought, 131 00:06:06,148 --> 00:06:08,428 Speaker 9: that's what volume of the type of man and the 132 00:06:08,428 --> 00:06:11,668 Speaker 9: coach is. But and I said this again yesterday, that 133 00:06:11,988 --> 00:06:14,748 Speaker 9: it doesn't have to be that tool was wrong, that 134 00:06:14,828 --> 00:06:17,908 Speaker 9: coach Flores is wrong. I think there's something to learn here. 135 00:06:18,228 --> 00:06:20,588 Speaker 9: I do know this though, you know, just from the 136 00:06:20,628 --> 00:06:23,588 Speaker 9: player's psyche, from the player's mindset, and just in general 137 00:06:23,708 --> 00:06:26,508 Speaker 9: you talk about it being a general public conversation about 138 00:06:26,508 --> 00:06:29,068 Speaker 9: what an athlete might go through, is that it takes 139 00:06:29,108 --> 00:06:32,508 Speaker 9: ten positives to erase one negative. And so I found 140 00:06:32,508 --> 00:06:34,588 Speaker 9: it interesting that Tuas said it took them about two 141 00:06:34,708 --> 00:06:36,988 Speaker 9: years to kind of overcome that. And it is a 142 00:06:37,068 --> 00:06:39,028 Speaker 9: really when we talk about mental health and you talk 143 00:06:39,068 --> 00:06:43,228 Speaker 9: about the struggles of trying to overcome self doubt and all. 144 00:06:43,068 --> 00:06:43,708 Speaker 2: The other stuff. 145 00:06:43,868 --> 00:06:46,788 Speaker 9: It is a high performance sport. I mean it is 146 00:06:47,268 --> 00:06:50,228 Speaker 9: it can be taxing on you as a person. And 147 00:06:50,308 --> 00:06:54,068 Speaker 9: so in their situation, you had two people who came 148 00:06:54,108 --> 00:06:56,868 Speaker 9: into a situation where it wasn't by choice, you know 149 00:06:56,908 --> 00:06:59,348 Speaker 9: what I mean, flor and came into Tua came into 150 00:06:59,388 --> 00:07:04,028 Speaker 9: the situation, and you know, it happens. Sometimes the chemistry 151 00:07:04,028 --> 00:07:06,308 Speaker 9: of two a coach and player doesn't work out, and 152 00:07:06,428 --> 00:07:09,548 Speaker 9: it's okay. So I don't think we need to demonize anything, 153 00:07:09,588 --> 00:07:11,748 Speaker 9: but we need to learn, Like Coach Floor said, you 154 00:07:11,908 --> 00:07:14,708 Speaker 9: learn from this situation. I will say lastly on that 155 00:07:14,748 --> 00:07:16,748 Speaker 9: part is that you know, there was a reporter who 156 00:07:16,828 --> 00:07:20,068 Speaker 9: asked if he had reached out, and I hope, I 157 00:07:20,228 --> 00:07:22,708 Speaker 9: really hope that at some point they can have a 158 00:07:22,828 --> 00:07:26,108 Speaker 9: conversation so they can kind of wrap that up and 159 00:07:26,148 --> 00:07:28,028 Speaker 9: so they can kind of grow from it and continue, 160 00:07:28,068 --> 00:07:31,468 Speaker 9: because you know, forgiveness is giving up the hope that 161 00:07:31,508 --> 00:07:34,508 Speaker 9: the past could be any different. It happened, It is 162 00:07:34,588 --> 00:07:36,788 Speaker 9: what it is. Now you got to move forward. 163 00:07:37,428 --> 00:07:41,628 Speaker 1: I was surprised at the restraints and the poise. Can 164 00:07:41,668 --> 00:07:44,268 Speaker 1: you imagine right now, Brian Flores, he's trying to run 165 00:07:44,268 --> 00:07:46,188 Speaker 1: the Vikings defense, He's trying to get together, he's trying 166 00:07:46,188 --> 00:07:48,748 Speaker 1: to get ready for the opener, and someone comes and 167 00:07:48,788 --> 00:07:50,628 Speaker 1: taps him on the shoulder and it's like, coach, you know, 168 00:07:50,628 --> 00:07:54,188 Speaker 1: there's a news story right now where Tua went on 169 00:07:54,428 --> 00:07:57,188 Speaker 1: a local show that he talks to all the time 170 00:07:57,188 --> 00:07:59,628 Speaker 1: with a pretty big platform and pretty much just teed 171 00:07:59,708 --> 00:08:01,908 Speaker 1: off on you about things that happened three years ago, 172 00:08:02,108 --> 00:08:05,388 Speaker 1: and is telling everyone that you bullied him and said 173 00:08:05,388 --> 00:08:07,868 Speaker 1: he was a loser and whatnot. He's like, oh my god, 174 00:08:08,028 --> 00:08:10,148 Speaker 1: it's tough for him at this point. It's August, it's 175 00:08:10,188 --> 00:08:12,868 Speaker 1: football season time. Not only to have to deal with 176 00:08:12,908 --> 00:08:15,188 Speaker 1: that and step aside from his duties as the Vikings 177 00:08:15,228 --> 00:08:18,148 Speaker 1: d corner has nothing to do with the Dolphins, but 178 00:08:18,228 --> 00:08:21,428 Speaker 1: to not say, oh really, because I got my story 179 00:08:21,468 --> 00:08:23,748 Speaker 1: to tell too. Tua was afraid of his own shadow. 180 00:08:23,868 --> 00:08:26,908 Speaker 1: I benched him because Fitzpatrick was better and Jacoby was better. 181 00:08:26,948 --> 00:08:28,988 Speaker 1: If we're gonna do like he could have, I'm sure 182 00:08:29,028 --> 00:08:31,188 Speaker 1: there's a lot of things he could have said about 183 00:08:31,188 --> 00:08:34,468 Speaker 1: Tua and maybe perceived weaknesses that he had, and he 184 00:08:34,508 --> 00:08:37,148 Speaker 1: didn't do any of that. And I think it's especially 185 00:08:37,188 --> 00:08:41,508 Speaker 1: strong because listen, this is a classically trained Bill Belichick coach. 186 00:08:41,828 --> 00:08:43,908 Speaker 5: Not only are you nothing with. 187 00:08:43,908 --> 00:08:48,188 Speaker 1: The media, Belichick spent twenty years teeing off on Tom 188 00:08:48,228 --> 00:08:51,428 Speaker 1: Brady at every chance he got. Brady, Tom Brady, not 189 00:08:51,508 --> 00:08:54,268 Speaker 1: Tua tongue Iiloa. Tom Brady was sitting there with five 190 00:08:54,308 --> 00:08:56,628 Speaker 1: Super Bowl rings at one point, and Brady and Balchick's 191 00:08:56,628 --> 00:08:59,628 Speaker 1: telling him how terrible this throw was, how awful you 192 00:08:59,668 --> 00:09:01,588 Speaker 1: are in this drive in front of the team. So 193 00:09:01,988 --> 00:09:05,028 Speaker 1: to Flores, that's what you do and that's how you 194 00:09:05,148 --> 00:09:08,548 Speaker 1: toughen guys up. But I think there's also there's a 195 00:09:08,588 --> 00:09:11,588 Speaker 1: lot of context here is very well established. Brian Fluores 196 00:09:11,628 --> 00:09:13,908 Speaker 1: wanted Justin Herbert to be the Dolphins quarterback. He did 197 00:09:13,908 --> 00:09:17,188 Speaker 1: not get him because allegedly ownership wanted to so immediately 198 00:09:17,188 --> 00:09:19,908 Speaker 1: when he's saying things like you're not supposed to be here, 199 00:09:19,948 --> 00:09:22,188 Speaker 1: which is one of the alleged quotes, it's right on 200 00:09:22,228 --> 00:09:24,788 Speaker 1: the nose, like I didn't want you. But I also 201 00:09:24,908 --> 00:09:28,228 Speaker 1: think like this idea of this is how I coach, 202 00:09:28,788 --> 00:09:31,908 Speaker 1: and I don't break it. I think is ignorant. I 203 00:09:31,908 --> 00:09:34,068 Speaker 1: think it's prideful. I think it's lazy. And I would 204 00:09:34,068 --> 00:09:36,148 Speaker 1: look at parenting the same way. I don't think you 205 00:09:36,268 --> 00:09:38,828 Speaker 1: coach every player the same. I don't think you parent 206 00:09:38,908 --> 00:09:41,348 Speaker 1: every kid the same, whether that's in your living room 207 00:09:41,428 --> 00:09:44,668 Speaker 1: or your little league baseball coach different kids, different needs, 208 00:09:44,708 --> 00:09:48,268 Speaker 1: and the real artful successful coaches say, here are my 209 00:09:48,348 --> 00:09:50,868 Speaker 1: core values as a coach. But I'm going to go 210 00:09:51,028 --> 00:09:54,428 Speaker 1: above and beyond to figure out what makes this player tick. 211 00:09:54,468 --> 00:09:56,468 Speaker 1: I got fifty three of them, and it's really difficult. 212 00:09:56,628 --> 00:09:58,508 Speaker 1: But if someone as important as the quarterback we just 213 00:09:58,588 --> 00:10:00,748 Speaker 1: draft in the first round, if this kid is not 214 00:10:00,868 --> 00:10:03,148 Speaker 1: responding to what I'm putting in, do I just stay it. 215 00:10:03,188 --> 00:10:05,588 Speaker 2: I'm like, I don't care. Then fit with me. No, 216 00:10:05,868 --> 00:10:06,228 Speaker 2: Like you. 217 00:10:06,348 --> 00:10:10,468 Speaker 1: Gotta swallow your ego and say, all right, well he's 218 00:10:10,468 --> 00:10:12,428 Speaker 1: not taking the tough love. Maybe he and I go 219 00:10:12,468 --> 00:10:14,188 Speaker 1: out and get a beer together or play. 220 00:10:14,068 --> 00:10:15,068 Speaker 2: Corn hoole or something. 221 00:10:15,308 --> 00:10:17,468 Speaker 1: It sounds like Flora's, the first time head coach at 222 00:10:17,468 --> 00:10:20,068 Speaker 1: the time, was not willing to bend, and it sounds 223 00:10:20,068 --> 00:10:21,868 Speaker 1: like he pretty much broke to it. I think that 224 00:10:21,908 --> 00:10:24,028 Speaker 1: Brian Flores will be a head coach again someday. The 225 00:10:24,028 --> 00:10:26,348 Speaker 1: players like him. He's a really talented guy, and I 226 00:10:26,348 --> 00:10:28,828 Speaker 1: think he'll be different. And whoever that quarterback is, he's 227 00:10:28,868 --> 00:10:30,868 Speaker 1: gonna be great because Flora's is gonna be like, whatever 228 00:10:30,868 --> 00:10:33,188 Speaker 1: you want, let's do it. Surprised that he has showed 229 00:10:33,188 --> 00:10:34,308 Speaker 1: that much restraint, but impressed. 230 00:10:34,308 --> 00:10:37,628 Speaker 8: I don't know, because it's the quarterback and Floraes is 231 00:10:37,628 --> 00:10:40,188 Speaker 8: a classically trained defense to the coach how this went. 232 00:10:40,748 --> 00:10:43,308 Speaker 8: But if you wanted to get a line of former 233 00:10:43,708 --> 00:10:47,388 Speaker 8: Patriots defensive players who would talk about Brian Flores in 234 00:10:47,428 --> 00:10:49,348 Speaker 8: a positive way, it would be a line around this 235 00:10:49,468 --> 00:10:51,548 Speaker 8: block in Manhattan. It starts first and foremost with our 236 00:10:51,548 --> 00:10:54,788 Speaker 8: old colleague Jason Gordhordy, and it goes to Dante High Tower, 237 00:10:54,828 --> 00:10:56,588 Speaker 8: and it goes to Patrick Chung, and it could go 238 00:10:56,628 --> 00:10:58,988 Speaker 8: through the list. And it's like, but like you said, 239 00:10:59,268 --> 00:11:01,868 Speaker 8: this is a quarterback. This is a rookie quarterback. And 240 00:11:01,908 --> 00:11:03,788 Speaker 8: he had a veteran in Ryan Fitzpatrick in the room 241 00:11:03,788 --> 00:11:05,268 Speaker 8: who he thought he had better chance to win with 242 00:11:05,868 --> 00:11:08,668 Speaker 8: very unique situation. And I think you're right, though it's 243 00:11:08,708 --> 00:11:11,228 Speaker 8: never been confirmed on either side. I don't think Flores 244 00:11:11,268 --> 00:11:14,628 Speaker 8: would have picked to over Herbert if that was a decision, 245 00:11:14,668 --> 00:11:16,188 Speaker 8: if we were go back and ask him in twenty 246 00:11:16,188 --> 00:11:16,948 Speaker 8: twenty in that draft. 247 00:11:17,268 --> 00:11:18,948 Speaker 3: Well, and I'm glad for Brian Flora is that he 248 00:11:19,068 --> 00:11:22,908 Speaker 3: has players from his past defensive coaching that would stand 249 00:11:22,948 --> 00:11:25,428 Speaker 3: up for him from his current role with the Minnesota 250 00:11:25,508 --> 00:11:29,148 Speaker 3: Vikings defensively that would defend him. But I take an 251 00:11:29,188 --> 00:11:32,308 Speaker 3: issue with the Brian Flores head coaching version. Apparently now 252 00:11:32,308 --> 00:11:35,468 Speaker 3: that we're hearing about and if Brian Flores, I always 253 00:11:35,468 --> 00:11:37,988 Speaker 3: I believe this is someone's saying something about you and 254 00:11:38,028 --> 00:11:41,028 Speaker 3: it is not true. I believe that you will come 255 00:11:41,028 --> 00:11:43,068 Speaker 3: out and say this is not true. He would have 256 00:11:43,108 --> 00:11:45,068 Speaker 3: looked in the camera. But the fact that he said 257 00:11:45,228 --> 00:11:48,308 Speaker 3: that hurt me. I understand where I have room for growth. 258 00:11:48,508 --> 00:11:51,188 Speaker 3: I think he now acknowledges that some of that was 259 00:11:51,268 --> 00:11:52,868 Speaker 3: not the right way to go about things, and that 260 00:11:53,028 --> 00:11:55,748 Speaker 3: the way Tua interpreted it is exactly how it went down. 261 00:11:55,948 --> 00:11:57,828 Speaker 3: What I take great issue with is the fact that 262 00:11:57,908 --> 00:12:00,948 Speaker 3: tuatunga Iloa again I spoke on this yesterday, came from 263 00:12:01,188 --> 00:12:04,068 Speaker 3: the greatest college football program at the time. You have 264 00:12:04,468 --> 00:12:07,228 Speaker 3: Chuo arrives in Miami as your rookie quarterback and says, 265 00:12:07,468 --> 00:12:09,348 Speaker 3: if you want to know anything about me and how 266 00:12:09,388 --> 00:12:11,748 Speaker 3: to set me up for success, why don't you reach 267 00:12:11,788 --> 00:12:15,028 Speaker 3: out to my college coach, who mind you is also 268 00:12:15,068 --> 00:12:17,988 Speaker 3: a defensive minded coach who mind you is also from 269 00:12:18,028 --> 00:12:21,028 Speaker 3: the Bill Belichick coaching family. They're not from He's not 270 00:12:21,148 --> 00:12:23,588 Speaker 3: under Nick Saban the tree. He's part of the family. 271 00:12:23,868 --> 00:12:26,788 Speaker 3: So if Nick Saban can change the way that he 272 00:12:26,868 --> 00:12:28,908 Speaker 3: approached to a tongue of Ioloa to put him in 273 00:12:29,028 --> 00:12:32,388 Speaker 3: his greatest lights when he was in college. How come 274 00:12:32,388 --> 00:12:35,268 Speaker 3: Brian Flores can't reach out because you guarantee you too 275 00:12:35,268 --> 00:12:36,708 Speaker 3: wor to put him on the phone and said, if 276 00:12:36,708 --> 00:12:38,268 Speaker 3: you want to know anything about me and how to 277 00:12:38,308 --> 00:12:40,908 Speaker 3: put me in a great spot, talk to Nick Saban. 278 00:12:40,948 --> 00:12:43,508 Speaker 3: And the fact that Brian Flores didn't at the time 279 00:12:43,748 --> 00:12:46,348 Speaker 3: have the space or the capacity to do that, I 280 00:12:46,388 --> 00:12:48,268 Speaker 3: put that on him. And if and when he does 281 00:12:48,348 --> 00:12:51,668 Speaker 3: get another head coaching opportunity, I certainly hope he approaches 282 00:12:52,108 --> 00:12:57,068 Speaker 3: to Kyle's point, parenting and coaching differently for each individual player, 283 00:12:57,148 --> 00:12:59,428 Speaker 3: because putting them in the best spot, both on the 284 00:12:59,428 --> 00:13:01,588 Speaker 3: field and off the field is the most imperative part 285 00:13:01,628 --> 00:13:02,188 Speaker 3: of success. 286 00:13:02,228 --> 00:13:04,228 Speaker 9: You know, Jamie, I love what you're saying, But you know, 287 00:13:04,428 --> 00:13:07,788 Speaker 9: and I also know this, that there's no real blueprint 288 00:13:08,028 --> 00:13:10,748 Speaker 9: right when you're dealing with different personalities. And I think 289 00:13:10,828 --> 00:13:13,068 Speaker 9: the expectation if I had to kind of pick at 290 00:13:13,308 --> 00:13:15,468 Speaker 9: kind of how to handle this, I think to me, 291 00:13:15,668 --> 00:13:18,508 Speaker 9: to have the expectations that Brian Flores would have known 292 00:13:18,548 --> 00:13:21,868 Speaker 9: how it was impacting him, it's a little misleading, I 293 00:13:21,908 --> 00:13:23,988 Speaker 9: think to be as a grown man to be able 294 00:13:24,028 --> 00:13:25,868 Speaker 9: to say Hey, you know what, this is how I'm 295 00:13:25,868 --> 00:13:28,468 Speaker 9: feeling about this. Even if you had to internalize this, 296 00:13:28,908 --> 00:13:31,788 Speaker 9: you know, a year later or whatever. Now of course 297 00:13:31,828 --> 00:13:34,908 Speaker 9: you know you got paid, you're feeling good, whatever, even 298 00:13:34,908 --> 00:13:37,588 Speaker 9: now that you're comfortable. He's a way to be able 299 00:13:37,588 --> 00:13:39,868 Speaker 9: to go up and pick up the phone and say, hey, coach, 300 00:13:40,108 --> 00:13:41,748 Speaker 9: I need to talk to you about this. This is 301 00:13:41,788 --> 00:13:44,028 Speaker 9: how this impacted me. I think to go to the 302 00:13:44,188 --> 00:13:47,268 Speaker 9: media because to me, real resolution comes in being able 303 00:13:47,268 --> 00:13:49,588 Speaker 9: to confront the person who did it to you, rather 304 00:13:49,628 --> 00:13:52,068 Speaker 9: than go to the media. The media makes it big. 305 00:13:52,108 --> 00:13:54,628 Speaker 9: Then he's doing a response from the outside, like just 306 00:13:54,668 --> 00:13:55,988 Speaker 9: like I'm a grown man because I know if one 307 00:13:56,028 --> 00:13:57,908 Speaker 9: of my coaches ever disrespect him like that and I 308 00:13:57,908 --> 00:14:00,548 Speaker 9: felt some type of way afterwards, I'm calling that person. 309 00:14:00,868 --> 00:14:03,428 Speaker 3: So just to bring a full circle, the initial question 310 00:14:03,628 --> 00:14:06,788 Speaker 3: of Tuo was not specifically like hey, let's just rail 311 00:14:06,828 --> 00:14:09,428 Speaker 3: on Brian Flowers right now, was about how are you different, 312 00:14:09,508 --> 00:14:11,708 Speaker 3: and so that's kind of where it came from. But 313 00:14:12,068 --> 00:14:13,908 Speaker 3: it wasn't about like two, It wasn't like, hey, let 314 00:14:13,908 --> 00:14:16,268 Speaker 3: me come in and just like beat down on Brian Flores. 315 00:14:16,268 --> 00:14:18,188 Speaker 3: It was about how Tua has changed over the last 316 00:14:18,188 --> 00:14:19,948 Speaker 3: couple of years, and we're happy to see two of 317 00:14:19,988 --> 00:14:21,548 Speaker 3: the where he's at right now, the final week of 318 00:14:21,588 --> 00:14:23,828 Speaker 3: the preseason. We're happy that this is here. Kicks off 319 00:14:23,828 --> 00:14:26,588 Speaker 3: on Thursday night when the Chiefs play host to the Bears. 320 00:14:26,908 --> 00:14:28,868 Speaker 3: You can see it right here on NFL Network.

You know, we had this night, a 354 00:16:01,788 --> 00:16:04,228 Speaker 7: nice little interlude, you know, with the Olympics, this sum 355 00:16:04,748 --> 00:16:07,348 Speaker 7: which gave us something that we really like to watch 356 00:16:07,348 --> 00:16:09,828 Speaker 7: for a little while. But now, you know, you know, 357 00:16:09,988 --> 00:16:12,348 Speaker 7: pre season football is just not that interesting. 358 00:16:13,028 --> 00:16:14,108 Speaker 2: But we're about to get back. 359 00:16:14,428 --> 00:16:16,788 Speaker 1: I can't wait, believe us, we hear you.

So It's a big story this 365 00:16:27,628 --> 00:16:30,348 Speaker 1: week where two A talk about load. The Dolphins quarterback 366 00:16:30,468 --> 00:16:33,068 Speaker 1: really fired some shots at his former head coach Brian 367 00:16:33,108 --> 00:16:35,068 Speaker 1: Flores about his treatment of him and I he was 368 00:16:35,108 --> 00:16:37,708 Speaker 1: too hard on him. I look at you. You played 369 00:16:37,748 --> 00:16:40,348 Speaker 1: for the oldest of the old school, Parcels, Belichick. 370 00:16:40,388 --> 00:16:41,668 Speaker 2: You're the number one overall pick. 371 00:16:41,828 --> 00:16:44,388 Speaker 1: What are your memories of how they treated you when 372 00:16:44,388 --> 00:16:46,828 Speaker 1: you came in and how has it changed over the 373 00:16:46,908 --> 00:16:49,828 Speaker 1: last twenty five thirty years to what we have now? 374 00:16:50,148 --> 00:16:53,028 Speaker 7: You know, Parcels, you know, and playing quarterback for Parcels, man, 375 00:16:53,028 --> 00:16:54,908 Speaker 7: you better have thick skin and you better be able 376 00:16:54,908 --> 00:16:57,268 Speaker 7: to just like sometimes you just need to wear ear muffs. 377 00:16:57,308 --> 00:16:59,268 Speaker 2: Man, he was right in your ear all the time, 378 00:16:59,588 --> 00:17:00,868 Speaker 2: just badgering you. Yeah. 379 00:17:00,868 --> 00:17:04,348 Speaker 7: I had Pete Carroll, who was different. Pete was actually 380 00:17:04,748 --> 00:17:07,348 Speaker 7: quite a pleasure to play for. And then Belichick's Belichick, 381 00:17:07,388 --> 00:17:09,988 Speaker 7: you know, and he's, uh, he's not gonna pull any punches. 382 00:17:10,028 --> 00:17:12,308 Speaker 7: But I do think that it's that it has changed. 383 00:17:12,308 --> 00:17:14,468 Speaker 7: And I think the case and point for how it's 384 00:17:14,548 --> 00:17:16,948 Speaker 7: changed is the fact that Bill Belichick is not on 385 00:17:16,988 --> 00:17:19,468 Speaker 7: an NFL sideline this year. You know, I think everybody's 386 00:17:19,548 --> 00:17:22,348 Speaker 7: going younger. They want they want. You know, there's more 387 00:17:22,388 --> 00:17:25,668 Speaker 7: of a positive approach to UH to coaching, and that's 388 00:17:25,748 --> 00:17:29,068 Speaker 7: definitely changed. I can see that from a player perspective. 389 00:17:29,308 --> 00:17:31,468 Speaker 7: If you're going to be parcels, you've got to be parcels. 390 00:17:31,468 --> 00:17:33,228 Speaker 7: You got to be funny, right, you know, you can't 391 00:17:33,268 --> 00:17:36,468 Speaker 7: just be mean. And you know, from a fan perspective, 392 00:17:36,508 --> 00:17:38,628 Speaker 7: so yeah, I can see where it's changed, and I 393 00:17:39,108 --> 00:17:41,348 Speaker 7: don't I don't think it's great optics. For two, it's 394 00:17:41,348 --> 00:17:43,268 Speaker 7: not not I don't think it's ever cool to take 395 00:17:43,308 --> 00:17:46,308 Speaker 7: shots at somebody after they're gone. But at the same time, 396 00:17:46,668 --> 00:17:48,748 Speaker 7: you know, it is indicative of where where the game's gone. 397 00:17:48,908 --> 00:17:50,148 Speaker 1: Wow, totally. 398 00:17:50,268 --> 00:17:52,068 Speaker 8: You know, we saw you at the at the roast 399 00:17:52,068 --> 00:17:54,548 Speaker 8: of Brady this summer. We also saw at the Jersey thing, 400 00:17:54,588 --> 00:17:57,908 Speaker 8: and then of course Brady is at the Fanatics Fest 401 00:17:57,948 --> 00:18:00,748 Speaker 8: talking with Steven A doing stuff like Brady's been out there, 402 00:18:00,788 --> 00:18:03,428 Speaker 8: but Brady's really going to be out there this fall 403 00:18:03,468 --> 00:18:05,668 Speaker 8: when he's the number one answer for Fox. You were 404 00:18:05,668 --> 00:18:08,388 Speaker 8: in the obviously the locker room with him, but you saw. 405 00:18:08,628 --> 00:18:10,348 Speaker 1: Like Tom Brady the broadcaster. 406 00:18:10,508 --> 00:18:12,788 Speaker 8: What's your initial thoughts to someone who knows him pretty well? 407 00:18:13,228 --> 00:18:14,908 Speaker 2: You know, I'm sure. I'm sure he'll do a great 408 00:18:14,988 --> 00:18:15,508 Speaker 2: job at it. 409 00:18:15,668 --> 00:18:18,708 Speaker 7: And you know the thing that people look at when 410 00:18:19,148 --> 00:18:22,948 Speaker 7: that they miss when they talk about broadcasts and whether 411 00:18:22,988 --> 00:18:25,028 Speaker 7: they succeed or fail, it's the guys that do the 412 00:18:25,108 --> 00:18:27,508 Speaker 7: work that are great at And it's really that simple. 413 00:18:27,548 --> 00:18:30,188 Speaker 7: You know. You look at Akerman, you look at Romo. 414 00:18:30,588 --> 00:18:32,708 Speaker 7: You know there's guys that broke in and you know, 415 00:18:32,908 --> 00:18:35,228 Speaker 7: like everybody looks at Romo like he's you know, he's 416 00:18:35,268 --> 00:18:37,748 Speaker 7: predicting the future. Oh how do you predict that play? 417 00:18:37,868 --> 00:18:38,068 Speaker 2: Right? 418 00:18:38,188 --> 00:18:40,628 Speaker 7: And well, he went to practice, he saw what they 419 00:18:40,708 --> 00:18:43,988 Speaker 7: ran from that formation, and that's activist and that's what 420 00:18:44,068 --> 00:18:46,308 Speaker 7: they did, right. So I know that Tommy will work 421 00:18:46,348 --> 00:18:48,468 Speaker 7: it to death. I will get kind of tired of 422 00:18:48,508 --> 00:18:54,788 Speaker 7: his squeaky ass voice, but but but I know, I 423 00:18:54,868 --> 00:18:56,868 Speaker 7: know he'll do a great job calling the game. 424 00:18:57,068 --> 00:18:59,388 Speaker 3: All Right, I'll let the guys pick your brain about 425 00:18:59,468 --> 00:19:02,268 Speaker 3: roasting Tom Brady in just a second. Since you went 426 00:19:02,308 --> 00:19:05,308 Speaker 3: there and now you've invited us in with that squeaky 427 00:19:05,388 --> 00:19:08,028 Speaker 3: voice comment, but I have to pick your brain about 428 00:19:08,068 --> 00:19:10,828 Speaker 3: the rookie quarterback conversation that everyone seems to be having. 429 00:19:11,068 --> 00:19:13,188 Speaker 3: Seems very heavy this year since they were half a 430 00:19:13,228 --> 00:19:15,548 Speaker 3: dozen picked in the first round, your first overall back 431 00:19:15,588 --> 00:19:18,468 Speaker 3: in nineteen ninety three, you start right away. Brady has 432 00:19:18,508 --> 00:19:21,468 Speaker 3: this talk about lack of development for these quarterbacks. Where 433 00:19:21,468 --> 00:19:23,708 Speaker 3: do you stand on this in terms of teams that 434 00:19:23,748 --> 00:19:26,628 Speaker 3: are in need young quarterbacks and being thrown into the 435 00:19:26,668 --> 00:19:27,428 Speaker 3: fire right away. 436 00:19:27,788 --> 00:19:32,708 Speaker 7: You know, it's such an individual decision for each quarterback. 437 00:19:32,948 --> 00:19:35,588 Speaker 7: Right some quarterbacks, I felt like I was ready to 438 00:19:35,708 --> 00:19:38,108 Speaker 7: play right, I felt like I was ready to get. 439 00:19:37,988 --> 00:19:38,508 Speaker 2: In there and go. 440 00:19:38,748 --> 00:19:40,988 Speaker 7: But then you've seen other quarterbacks that sit for a 441 00:19:41,068 --> 00:19:44,428 Speaker 7: year or two and it's very beneficial for him. And 442 00:19:44,468 --> 00:19:47,148 Speaker 7: so I think the coaches as they're looking at these guys, 443 00:19:47,188 --> 00:19:49,788 Speaker 7: they have to determine, Okay, is it the right time 444 00:19:49,908 --> 00:19:52,428 Speaker 7: for this guy? Is he ready to go now? Because 445 00:19:52,468 --> 00:19:55,668 Speaker 7: you also have to take into account, you know, is 446 00:19:55,708 --> 00:19:58,108 Speaker 7: your team ready for them to play? Because you put 447 00:19:58,148 --> 00:20:00,188 Speaker 7: a guy in there early and your team's not at 448 00:20:00,228 --> 00:20:02,588 Speaker 7: that level yet. Now you can mess with that guy's 449 00:20:02,628 --> 00:20:04,748 Speaker 7: confidence and mess with the rest of his career by 450 00:20:04,748 --> 00:20:06,468 Speaker 7: throwing it out there when your team's not ready to 451 00:20:06,468 --> 00:20:06,908 Speaker 7: support it. 452 00:20:07,068 --> 00:20:08,908 Speaker 2: So there are a lot of things that go into it. 453 00:20:09,148 --> 00:20:11,508 Speaker 2: You know, I don't like the idea. 454 00:20:11,188 --> 00:20:13,588 Speaker 7: That sometimes there's pressure to put these guys on the 455 00:20:13,588 --> 00:20:16,148 Speaker 7: field just because of whether they were drafted. That's the 456 00:20:16,188 --> 00:20:17,828 Speaker 7: wrong way to approach it. You got to look at 457 00:20:17,868 --> 00:20:19,588 Speaker 7: the look at the guy and look at whether he's 458 00:20:19,628 --> 00:20:21,508 Speaker 7: actually ready to go on the field and whether your 459 00:20:21,548 --> 00:20:22,908 Speaker 7: team is ready for him to be on the field. 460 00:20:22,988 --> 00:20:24,788 Speaker 9: Jerreal, Man, I got to say, you're one of the 461 00:20:24,828 --> 00:20:27,588 Speaker 9: coolest dudes I know. Man, I watched that roast. I 462 00:20:27,708 --> 00:20:30,748 Speaker 9: was at that roast, and you had me in stitches. 463 00:20:30,788 --> 00:20:32,988 Speaker 9: I was a little nervous because I'm like, well, this 464 00:20:33,108 --> 00:20:36,748 Speaker 9: is Drew Bledsoe, Like, you know, does he have comedic chops? 465 00:20:36,988 --> 00:20:38,708 Speaker 9: But you did a tremendous job. But you are a 466 00:20:38,828 --> 00:20:43,148 Speaker 9: quote unquote speech. I mean you went to work and 467 00:20:43,188 --> 00:20:47,108 Speaker 9: you were so calm, popping the collar. Like, how much 468 00:20:47,188 --> 00:20:49,308 Speaker 9: preparation did you put into that? Like, you got to 469 00:20:49,388 --> 00:20:52,148 Speaker 9: let me know because if there was no prepping, you 470 00:20:52,268 --> 00:20:54,468 Speaker 9: just rolled off out of bed out that bro, you 471 00:20:54,508 --> 00:20:57,068 Speaker 9: need to stop the wine business and you need to 472 00:20:57,068 --> 00:20:58,228 Speaker 9: get straight into comedy. 473 00:20:58,588 --> 00:21:00,548 Speaker 2: Yeah, I appreciate it. Now there was some prep time. 474 00:21:00,548 --> 00:21:01,628 Speaker 2: I'm not gonna lie about that. 475 00:21:01,788 --> 00:21:03,908 Speaker 7: You know, I wasn't too nervous about it because you know, 476 00:21:04,108 --> 00:21:06,428 Speaker 7: I mean, I've been speaking in public for years and years, 477 00:21:06,548 --> 00:21:09,028 Speaker 7: and that was probably the most prepared I've been for 478 00:21:09,468 --> 00:21:11,708 Speaker 7: something I was going to say publicly, just because I'd 479 00:21:11,708 --> 00:21:13,228 Speaker 7: had to run through it with my wife and my 480 00:21:13,308 --> 00:21:14,708 Speaker 7: kids because they were so nervous. 481 00:21:15,668 --> 00:21:17,188 Speaker 2: My kids, my kids. 482 00:21:17,028 --> 00:21:19,068 Speaker 7: Each individually called me like, all right, Dad, what are 483 00:21:19,068 --> 00:21:21,228 Speaker 7: you going to say? They were so nervous because like 484 00:21:21,388 --> 00:21:23,348 Speaker 7: all I hear from me are bad dad jokes and 485 00:21:23,468 --> 00:21:26,908 Speaker 7: you know, super you know, inappropriate stuff and inappropriate times, 486 00:21:26,948 --> 00:21:30,508 Speaker 7: and uh so they're like, you can't. 487 00:21:30,388 --> 00:21:32,708 Speaker 2: Go do comedy.

But we remiss not asking this. 566 00:24:35,428 --> 00:24:38,148 Speaker 1: Twenty six years ago, the number one movie in the 567 00:24:38,228 --> 00:24:40,188 Speaker 1: United States of America was a movie called There's Something 568 00:24:40,228 --> 00:24:45,108 Speaker 1: About Mary. Brett Favre has a memorable, if not exactly 569 00:24:45,188 --> 00:24:47,828 Speaker 1: perfect performance in the movie. The rumor is he was 570 00:24:47,868 --> 00:24:50,148 Speaker 1: the third choice, second choice with Steve Young, who did 571 00:24:50,148 --> 00:24:53,028 Speaker 1: not agree with the content, and the first choice was 572 00:24:53,108 --> 00:24:55,788 Speaker 1: Drew Bledsoe, who was not able to appear in the movie, 573 00:24:55,828 --> 00:24:58,588 Speaker 1: according to the Internet, because he got injured moshing at 574 00:24:58,588 --> 00:25:01,228 Speaker 1: a concert. Can you please settle the truth about the 575 00:25:01,308 --> 00:25:03,268 Speaker 1: legend of you and there's something about Mary. 576 00:25:03,628 --> 00:25:07,508 Speaker 7: Okay, so there's truth to this. But I was not 577 00:25:07,668 --> 00:25:11,228 Speaker 7: first choice. I was second choice. Cameron Diaz had a 578 00:25:11,228 --> 00:25:14,948 Speaker 7: crush on Steve Young, and so Steve Young was first, 579 00:25:15,028 --> 00:25:17,508 Speaker 7: but he wouldn't do it because good Mormon boyman, and. 580 00:25:17,468 --> 00:25:19,708 Speaker 2: It didn't didn't fit with his beliefs. 581 00:25:20,028 --> 00:25:22,468 Speaker 7: I was the second place because the Fairly Brothers are 582 00:25:22,508 --> 00:25:25,108 Speaker 7: from the New England area, and so they reached out 583 00:25:25,508 --> 00:25:30,028 Speaker 7: and it was soon after I did a little mosh pit, 584 00:25:30,308 --> 00:25:33,388 Speaker 7: you know, nightclub incident in Boston, the big news. But 585 00:25:33,468 --> 00:25:35,748 Speaker 7: I was also out here at our cabin in Montana, 586 00:25:35,748 --> 00:25:37,668 Speaker 7: and I just didn't I just didn't feel like movement. 587 00:25:37,668 --> 00:25:40,028 Speaker 7: I just didn't like going anywhere and doing it. So 588 00:25:40,068 --> 00:25:42,868 Speaker 7: they put they so they handed it down too far. 589 00:25:43,228 --> 00:25:49,228 Speaker 7: Who uh, his acting chops are terrible. I would so, 590 00:25:49,748 --> 00:25:52,068 Speaker 7: you know, I do feel bad that that the movie 591 00:25:52,228 --> 00:25:54,828 Speaker 7: didn't come off as great as it would have had 592 00:25:54,868 --> 00:25:55,708 Speaker 7: I played the department. 593 00:25:55,748 --> 00:25:58,108 Speaker 3: Oh no, I have an idea, Drew.

We 607 00:26:32,868 --> 00:26:34,708 Speaker 11: still don't know if we'll see him suit up against 608 00:26:34,708 --> 00:26:37,828 Speaker 11: the Giants on Saturday. But as for training camp work, 609 00:26:38,068 --> 00:26:40,348 Speaker 11: Rogers says it's the hardest camp he's had in the 610 00:26:40,388 --> 00:26:43,228 Speaker 11: last seven or eight years, and that's a good thing. 611 00:26:43,948 --> 00:26:46,308 Speaker 12: I give Robert a lot of credit because he from 612 00:26:46,388 --> 00:26:47,948 Speaker 12: the start of the off season said this is going 613 00:26:47,988 --> 00:26:50,228 Speaker 12: to be a tough training camp, and I think it's 614 00:26:50,268 --> 00:26:52,708 Speaker 12: been a lot of reps for the ones. He told 615 00:26:52,708 --> 00:26:54,988 Speaker 12: me the other day we were somewhere in the neighborhood 616 00:26:54,988 --> 00:26:57,388 Speaker 12: of three hundred more reps I think at this point 617 00:26:57,388 --> 00:26:59,788 Speaker 12: of camp and then last year. 618 00:26:59,748 --> 00:27:00,708 Speaker 5: And it feels like it. 619 00:27:00,788 --> 00:27:01,428 Speaker 2: But it's good. 620 00:27:01,428 --> 00:27:03,628 Speaker 12: I think it's going to allow us to maybe be 621 00:27:03,628 --> 00:27:05,908 Speaker 12: a little more ready and We've been fortunate with injuries. 622 00:27:05,948 --> 00:27:08,148 Speaker 12: You know, we haven't had a ton of injuries so far, 623 00:27:08,268 --> 00:27:09,868 Speaker 12: so I like it. 624 00:27:09,748 --> 00:27:10,548 Speaker 2: It's been great. 625 00:27:10,628 --> 00:27:12,988 Speaker 12: He talked to the older guys, had a lot of 626 00:27:12,988 --> 00:27:16,108 Speaker 12: complaints for many of those guys. Young guys don't know 627 00:27:16,108 --> 00:27:17,948 Speaker 12: any better, so it's been good. 628 00:27:18,508 --> 00:27:21,188 Speaker 11: Meanwhile, Bill's quarterback Josh Allen, the middle of a six 629 00:27:21,268 --> 00:27:24,668 Speaker 11: year deal, putting him thirteenth among quarterbacks and average per 630 00:27:24,748 --> 00:27:27,788 Speaker 11: year salary according to over the Cap. But despite the 631 00:27:27,908 --> 00:27:31,948 Speaker 11: recent run on mega quarterback contract, Alan says he's just 632 00:27:32,068 --> 00:27:33,628 Speaker 11: fine with his take home check. 633 00:27:34,708 --> 00:27:36,748 Speaker 13: Listen, everyone's going to have their day, and I'm happy 634 00:27:36,748 --> 00:27:39,868 Speaker 13: that everyone's getting what they're worth, right And I think 635 00:27:39,908 --> 00:27:43,708 Speaker 13: that as the game progresses and guys keep getting paid again, 636 00:27:43,748 --> 00:27:47,388 Speaker 13: the market is the market. And I've got no problem 637 00:27:47,388 --> 00:27:50,068 Speaker 13: with where I'm at right now. And you know, I 638 00:27:50,508 --> 00:27:52,428 Speaker 13: had my day a couple of years ago, and I'm 639 00:27:52,468 --> 00:27:54,708 Speaker 13: sure someday I'll have it again, you know. But I 640 00:27:54,708 --> 00:27:56,308 Speaker 13: think the main thing is the main thing, and that's 641 00:27:56,308 --> 00:27:59,068 Speaker 13: playing football to the best of my ability, and everything 642 00:27:59,148 --> 00:28:00,268 Speaker 13: else will take care of itself. 643 00:28:00,708 --> 00:28:03,308 Speaker 11: Alan just turning twenty eight this pass spring, so he 644 00:28:03,348 --> 00:28:06,188 Speaker 11: will be in line for another massive Payday down the road, 645 00:28:06,188 --> 00:28:08,468 Speaker 11: but for now, as you heard in the focus on 646 00:28:08,508 --> 00:28:13,828 Speaker 11: the Ultimate Prize bringing the first Lombardi Trophy to Buffalo. 647 00:28:13,268 --> 00:28:16,228 Speaker 5: Kirk Cousins gave us a gift, and it's right here. 648 00:28:16,628 --> 00:28:21,948 Speaker 1: Seventeen weeks in a season, seventeen tracks, Week one, Track one. 649 00:28:22,308 --> 00:28:24,868 Speaker 1: I think he is saying to his team it just 650 00:28:24,948 --> 00:28:28,148 Speaker 1: takes some time. Week seven, I'm coming out of my 651 00:28:28,388 --> 00:28:31,108 Speaker 1: cage and I'm doing just fine.

So 827 00:35:58,868 --> 00:36:01,228 Speaker 14: just a fun day here around the office watching all 828 00:36:01,268 --> 00:36:03,748 Speaker 14: these schools create content around around our game. 829 00:36:04,788 --> 00:36:08,068 Speaker 3: Jaggy said. Two players from Florida A and M University 830 00:36:08,148 --> 00:36:10,788 Speaker 3: buying Reeses in the grocery store with two on the list. 831 00:36:10,988 --> 00:36:13,348 Speaker 3: This is the biggest list yet, Jim, that we've seen. 832 00:36:13,548 --> 00:36:15,628 Speaker 3: Tell us how it was compiled and in terms of 833 00:36:15,708 --> 00:36:19,548 Speaker 3: bragging rights, fam you's got two which schools both the 834 00:36:19,588 --> 00:36:20,708 Speaker 3: most players. 835 00:36:20,988 --> 00:36:24,188 Speaker 14: Yeah, it is the biggest list by far. Usually there's things, 836 00:36:24,308 --> 00:36:26,348 Speaker 14: you know, four to five hundred players, so this is 837 00:36:26,788 --> 00:36:29,388 Speaker 14: a big list. In terms of the most players, it's 838 00:36:29,428 --> 00:36:32,708 Speaker 14: all miss They've got twenty one. The SEC dominated this year. 839 00:36:32,868 --> 00:36:35,348 Speaker 14: They've got the five most schools. I think we've got 840 00:36:35,348 --> 00:36:37,748 Speaker 14: eleven schools that there were fifteen players, and seven of 841 00:36:37,788 --> 00:36:39,508 Speaker 14: those come from the SEC, so. 842 00:36:39,588 --> 00:36:41,788 Speaker 5: They've got about seventy more players in the Big Ten. 843 00:36:41,868 --> 00:36:44,108 Speaker 14: The Big Ten came in second, and then I think 844 00:36:44,148 --> 00:36:46,428 Speaker 14: it's ACC and Big twelve. So as you would imagine, 845 00:36:46,468 --> 00:36:48,748 Speaker 14: the Power four came in with the most players in 846 00:36:48,788 --> 00:36:51,188 Speaker 14: the list. But yeah, it's a great starting point for us. 847 00:36:51,228 --> 00:36:53,948 Speaker 14: We watched tape since going back to really last January. 848 00:36:54,108 --> 00:36:57,428 Speaker 14: Our staff was upstairs watching these guys even before we. 849 00:36:57,388 --> 00:37:00,188 Speaker 5: Played the twenty twenty four version of the Resa's Senior Bowl. 850 00:37:00,268 --> 00:37:01,348 Speaker 5: So a lot of hard work. 851 00:37:01,388 --> 00:37:03,588 Speaker 14: We've watched tape on all these players and it's just 852 00:37:03,628 --> 00:37:05,988 Speaker 14: a starting point, you know. I really like to emphasize 853 00:37:05,988 --> 00:37:08,148 Speaker 14: for all the guys that didn't make the list. We 854 00:37:08,188 --> 00:37:10,788 Speaker 14: had seven players last year that played in the Senior 855 00:37:10,788 --> 00:37:13,028 Speaker 14: Bowl here in Mobile that weren't on the watch list 856 00:37:13,108 --> 00:37:15,068 Speaker 14: last year, and they all got drafted. And two of 857 00:37:15,108 --> 00:37:18,508 Speaker 14: those guys, Marshaun Lloyd running back from USC and Elijah 858 00:37:18,588 --> 00:37:20,948 Speaker 14: Jones at cornerback from Boston College. Those guys win in 859 00:37:20,948 --> 00:37:23,108 Speaker 14: the third round. They were top hundred picks and they 860 00:37:23,108 --> 00:37:24,668 Speaker 14: weren't on the watch list.
