It's unseasonably warm today, man, unseas listen 45 00:02:12,440 --> 00:02:16,600 Speaker 4: to how for you? He's approaching sixty almost. It's been 46 00:02:16,639 --> 00:02:21,320 Speaker 4: a strange week. We got over sixty one day this 47 00:02:21,440 --> 00:02:25,040 Speaker 4: past week, and they say maybe spring is coming a 48 00:02:25,080 --> 00:02:28,919 Speaker 4: little earlier. Normally doesn't come this early. But the weather's 49 00:02:29,280 --> 00:02:30,840 Speaker 4: actually not that bad today. 50 00:02:33,560 --> 00:02:36,440 Speaker 3: That is a beautiful, beautiful thing, my guy. 51 00:02:36,919 --> 00:02:40,640 Speaker 5: And you know what, speaking of good weather, well I 52 00:02:40,720 --> 00:02:45,239 Speaker 5: heard it was good weather surrounding our guys Chador Sanders 53 00:02:45,280 --> 00:02:49,200 Speaker 5: at the draft and where we were at so or 54 00:02:49,240 --> 00:02:51,960 Speaker 5: where they were at, where TJ is at. Uh, And 55 00:02:52,040 --> 00:02:53,680 Speaker 5: here's what he had to say. And I'm gonna get 56 00:02:53,680 --> 00:02:55,560 Speaker 5: your opinion on this. I'm gonna get your take on 57 00:02:55,600 --> 00:02:57,680 Speaker 5: this after we listened to it. But I had some 58 00:02:57,760 --> 00:02:59,960 Speaker 5: interesting thoughts on it. But here's what your door said 59 00:03:00,040 --> 00:03:02,920 Speaker 5: has had to say at the combine during an interview. 60 00:03:03,200 --> 00:03:06,880 Speaker 6: We went from Jackson State to Colorado and changed two 61 00:03:07,000 --> 00:03:08,200 Speaker 6: programs back to back. 62 00:03:08,320 --> 00:03:10,440 Speaker 3: So you don't think I could come to NFL. 63 00:03:10,160 --> 00:03:12,480 Speaker 6: Franchise and change the program again. 64 00:03:12,720 --> 00:03:14,880 Speaker 3: It's history. We've done it again. It's so he's gonna 65 00:03:14,919 --> 00:03:15,519 Speaker 3: repeat itself. 66 00:03:15,560 --> 00:03:17,680 Speaker 6: If you ain't trying to change the franchise or the coach, 67 00:03:17,720 --> 00:03:20,560 Speaker 6: that don't give me. So you should know history repeats 68 00:03:20,560 --> 00:03:23,360 Speaker 6: itself over and over and over. And I've done it 69 00:03:23,400 --> 00:03:25,800 Speaker 6: over and over and over, so it should be no 70 00:03:25,919 --> 00:03:28,520 Speaker 6: question why NFL franchised should pick me. 71 00:03:31,160 --> 00:03:35,520 Speaker 5: I'll say this, plex I don't see any lies in 72 00:03:35,560 --> 00:03:40,560 Speaker 5: what he's saying. I love his confidence. One of the 73 00:03:40,640 --> 00:03:44,960 Speaker 5: things that I find to be breathtaking about Shador because 74 00:03:45,000 --> 00:03:48,720 Speaker 5: I've known Shador for a really long time and at 75 00:03:49,040 --> 00:03:51,360 Speaker 5: the Under Armour Games for as many years. 76 00:03:51,160 --> 00:03:51,800 Speaker 3: As we were. 77 00:03:52,040 --> 00:03:57,200 Speaker 5: He participated in our eighth grade game as well. Just 78 00:03:57,280 --> 00:04:01,560 Speaker 5: that belief and that buy in to being great and 79 00:04:01,760 --> 00:04:03,760 Speaker 5: the work that it takes to be great, in the 80 00:04:03,840 --> 00:04:06,440 Speaker 5: mindset that it takes to be great. I mean, I 81 00:04:06,480 --> 00:04:09,080 Speaker 5: know that Cam Newton came under a lot of scrutiny 82 00:04:09,120 --> 00:04:11,840 Speaker 5: and a lot of criticism for saying that he went 83 00:04:11,880 --> 00:04:14,680 Speaker 5: into a locker room that maybe had losing ways of 84 00:04:14,760 --> 00:04:18,360 Speaker 5: losing mentality and he hadn't been a part of that, 85 00:04:18,480 --> 00:04:20,480 Speaker 5: but he was going to be a part of changing 86 00:04:20,520 --> 00:04:23,120 Speaker 5: it and making it a winning culture. He ended up 87 00:04:23,160 --> 00:04:26,880 Speaker 5: taking that team and leading them to a super Bowl 88 00:04:26,920 --> 00:04:31,800 Speaker 5: and an MVP year. Do you feel as though like 89 00:04:31,880 --> 00:04:35,000 Speaker 5: some people subscribe to like say it, stand on it, 90 00:04:35,240 --> 00:04:37,640 Speaker 5: own it and run with it and rock with it 91 00:04:37,640 --> 00:04:40,560 Speaker 5: and see where you know it all ends up. Some 92 00:04:40,600 --> 00:04:43,800 Speaker 5: people subscribe to the idea just keeping it to yourself 93 00:04:44,240 --> 00:04:46,960 Speaker 5: and just going out there improving it and then your 94 00:04:47,040 --> 00:04:51,000 Speaker 5: success is the best indicator of what it is that 95 00:04:51,279 --> 00:04:54,440 Speaker 5: was ultimately meant to be. Do you like Shador's approach? 96 00:04:54,920 --> 00:04:57,440 Speaker 3: Do you not like it? Where do you fall on it? 97 00:04:57,880 --> 00:05:00,120 Speaker 4: Well, I'm not surprised by his approach. I mean, we 98 00:05:00,200 --> 00:05:02,680 Speaker 4: out to know who his father is, and they're they're 99 00:05:02,720 --> 00:05:06,480 Speaker 4: going to be very outspoken and you know what they 100 00:05:06,520 --> 00:05:11,680 Speaker 4: believe about themselves as as people, as competitors and competitors 101 00:05:11,720 --> 00:05:14,320 Speaker 4: and as players. But I think for your do at 102 00:05:14,320 --> 00:05:17,159 Speaker 4: this point in his life, man, it's just simply comes 103 00:05:17,200 --> 00:05:21,200 Speaker 4: down to can he be a great quarterback at the 104 00:05:21,240 --> 00:05:24,640 Speaker 4: next level. I mean, everything that he said has been true. 105 00:05:26,000 --> 00:05:30,920 Speaker 4: He was obviously a great high school player. He was 106 00:05:30,960 --> 00:05:33,839 Speaker 4: he was a great quarterback at Jackson State and and 107 00:05:33,960 --> 00:05:37,040 Speaker 4: look at what what he was has been able to 108 00:05:37,040 --> 00:05:40,919 Speaker 4: accomplish at Colorado and now it's on too. He is 109 00:05:41,120 --> 00:05:45,360 Speaker 4: arguably going to be, you know, one of the best 110 00:05:45,360 --> 00:05:47,760 Speaker 4: player in this draft. He's one of the best two 111 00:05:47,839 --> 00:05:50,479 Speaker 4: quarterbacks in his draft. So I just think that with 112 00:05:50,560 --> 00:05:52,640 Speaker 4: him moving forward is can he play football at the 113 00:05:52,720 --> 00:05:55,479 Speaker 4: NFL level and can he go out and have some 114 00:05:55,600 --> 00:05:59,000 Speaker 4: of the same successes that he's had in college and 115 00:05:59,120 --> 00:06:02,320 Speaker 4: high school and throughout his whole life. But don't expect 116 00:06:02,400 --> 00:06:06,599 Speaker 4: him to, you know, come into any organization and to 117 00:06:06,680 --> 00:06:10,919 Speaker 4: be shy about what he's going to say behind the 118 00:06:11,080 --> 00:06:13,839 Speaker 4: podium on a microphone, because he's going to voice his opinion. 119 00:06:14,440 --> 00:06:17,960 Speaker 4: And though that's just one of the things that you know, 120 00:06:18,640 --> 00:06:21,560 Speaker 4: whoever drafts him is from an organization standpoint, they're going 121 00:06:21,640 --> 00:06:24,360 Speaker 4: to have to deal with on a daily basis or 122 00:06:24,400 --> 00:06:28,840 Speaker 4: weekly basis, because you know that when the media talks 123 00:06:28,880 --> 00:06:31,599 Speaker 4: to the team or the coach, the quarterback speaks for 124 00:06:31,640 --> 00:06:34,240 Speaker 4: this organization every single day. And he's going to be 125 00:06:34,240 --> 00:06:36,920 Speaker 4: the head of a franchise and he's not going to 126 00:06:36,960 --> 00:06:40,440 Speaker 4: shy away from anything that they ask him. He's going 127 00:06:40,480 --> 00:06:43,839 Speaker 4: to be truthful. He's going to you know, state the facts. 128 00:06:44,480 --> 00:06:47,280 Speaker 4: People are not going to like it, but that is 129 00:06:47,360 --> 00:06:51,440 Speaker 4: who he is as a person and you know as 130 00:06:51,440 --> 00:06:53,840 Speaker 4: a player, and you know Deon has came out and 131 00:06:53,880 --> 00:06:56,159 Speaker 4: support it. Look, he said what he said. 132 00:06:56,400 --> 00:06:57,320 Speaker 3: He said what he said. 133 00:06:57,640 --> 00:07:00,840 Speaker 5: Let me ask you, that's plex you played for multiple organizations, 134 00:07:00,880 --> 00:07:04,279 Speaker 5: so you had the opportunity to be around different groups 135 00:07:04,360 --> 00:07:08,560 Speaker 5: of upper management. You know, the people who make the decisions, 136 00:07:08,600 --> 00:07:12,960 Speaker 5: the corporate side of it, the owners, the scouts, the salespeople, 137 00:07:12,960 --> 00:07:14,760 Speaker 5: all those things. And you know, I'm always a big 138 00:07:14,800 --> 00:07:18,240 Speaker 5: stickler on talking about building and growing your brand. It's 139 00:07:18,280 --> 00:07:20,600 Speaker 5: always been a part of my conversations. It's a It's 140 00:07:20,600 --> 00:07:25,400 Speaker 5: a major part of athletics and being in those different organizations. 141 00:07:25,440 --> 00:07:30,160 Speaker 5: What would your assessment or assumption be, will his type 142 00:07:30,160 --> 00:07:34,360 Speaker 5: of approach and how he is will it fit in 143 00:07:34,360 --> 00:07:37,640 Speaker 5: in the NFL at the NFL level, knowing how those. 144 00:07:37,480 --> 00:07:40,080 Speaker 4: People are, man, you know this and I know this. 145 00:07:40,480 --> 00:07:42,880 Speaker 4: It depends on who the owner and the general manager 146 00:07:42,880 --> 00:07:45,840 Speaker 4: all of the organization, because they're a teller on that 147 00:07:46,000 --> 00:07:50,480 Speaker 4: give us some context that there are not teams will 148 00:07:50,560 --> 00:07:54,360 Speaker 4: take the less of the player that as a as 149 00:07:54,400 --> 00:07:59,080 Speaker 4: a lesser player than the player that has this, you know, 150 00:07:59,440 --> 00:08:02,240 Speaker 4: boatsful attitude about who he is a player and as. 151 00:08:02,160 --> 00:08:04,880 Speaker 3: A person perception of him being a boastful. 152 00:08:06,080 --> 00:08:09,800 Speaker 4: Exactly. It depends on who is who is going to 153 00:08:09,920 --> 00:08:14,559 Speaker 4: draft him, knowing that whatever comes out of his mouth, 154 00:08:17,400 --> 00:08:20,360 Speaker 4: he's going to say it. And I think that moving 155 00:08:20,400 --> 00:08:24,480 Speaker 4: forward for all these NFL teams, they know that when 156 00:08:24,480 --> 00:08:26,440 Speaker 4: they ask a door questions, people are going to ask 157 00:08:26,520 --> 00:08:29,800 Speaker 4: Dean the same question and so they are going to 158 00:08:29,920 --> 00:08:32,200 Speaker 4: listen to what's being said not only from his son, 159 00:08:32,760 --> 00:08:35,640 Speaker 4: but from his point of view, and that is what's 160 00:08:35,679 --> 00:08:38,120 Speaker 4: going to these organizations are going to have to deal 161 00:08:38,160 --> 00:08:41,440 Speaker 4: with him moving forward. Is that you know how outspoken 162 00:08:41,480 --> 00:08:44,079 Speaker 4: they are. And a lot of these teams don't like that. 163 00:08:45,280 --> 00:08:48,000 Speaker 3: Even if it's positive, Like I find it. 164 00:08:47,960 --> 00:08:50,200 Speaker 4: Curious, even if it's positive, you know how it is. 165 00:08:50,280 --> 00:08:54,480 Speaker 4: It's like it's like humility first, yeah, and that that 166 00:08:54,720 --> 00:09:00,679 Speaker 4: is what is the The athlete is changing, the quarterback 167 00:09:00,720 --> 00:09:07,520 Speaker 4: position is changing, and the NFL has not. Basically, you know, 168 00:09:07,920 --> 00:09:12,280 Speaker 4: turned that corner of what these young men moving forward, 169 00:09:12,679 --> 00:09:16,040 Speaker 4: who they are going to be as players and people 170 00:09:16,880 --> 00:09:19,880 Speaker 4: and it's not the norm. So when it's not the 171 00:09:19,920 --> 00:09:23,120 Speaker 4: normal or if it's outside of the box, people don't 172 00:09:23,160 --> 00:09:27,840 Speaker 4: accept it. So now they are more engaged to what 173 00:09:28,880 --> 00:09:31,920 Speaker 4: that person or that player is saying, trying to get 174 00:09:31,960 --> 00:09:37,520 Speaker 4: a feel of who that person is and are they 175 00:09:38,120 --> 00:09:44,199 Speaker 4: able to adapt to how these young players and athletes 176 00:09:45,000 --> 00:09:46,680 Speaker 4: perceived are perceived. 177 00:09:48,840 --> 00:09:53,400 Speaker 5: I'll say this looking at how things have been when 178 00:09:53,440 --> 00:09:56,640 Speaker 5: I played, you know, during our time. This is a 179 00:09:56,679 --> 00:09:59,640 Speaker 5: touch and go type of moment because as a player, 180 00:10:00,559 --> 00:10:03,400 Speaker 5: how do you think we handle a kid coming into 181 00:10:03,520 --> 00:10:06,160 Speaker 5: which that's what we would say, right, we got a 182 00:10:06,240 --> 00:10:10,520 Speaker 5: kid coming into our locker room that is already sitting 183 00:10:10,520 --> 00:10:13,480 Speaker 5: there saying the things that he's saying, and if he's 184 00:10:13,480 --> 00:10:16,079 Speaker 5: coming into our locker room, that is a if I'm 185 00:10:16,120 --> 00:10:18,480 Speaker 5: not a new player in his locker room, that's a 186 00:10:18,559 --> 00:10:22,400 Speaker 5: direct shot at us as players. So I just wonder, 187 00:10:22,679 --> 00:10:25,600 Speaker 5: I know we're up on the break, but just super quickly, 188 00:10:25,800 --> 00:10:30,400 Speaker 5: from your perspective, do you think the team that drafts 189 00:10:30,600 --> 00:10:33,760 Speaker 5: Shador Sanders do you think the locker room will be 190 00:10:33,960 --> 00:10:38,880 Speaker 5: supportive of Shador being the way that he is and 191 00:10:39,200 --> 00:10:43,840 Speaker 5: being bold in his proclamations. Do you think that Dion Deon, 192 00:10:43,960 --> 00:10:47,040 Speaker 5: senior coach Prime, do you think he plays a major 193 00:10:47,160 --> 00:10:50,439 Speaker 5: role in maybe shaudor getting that type of grace from 194 00:10:50,480 --> 00:10:52,800 Speaker 5: not only the players in the locker room, but maybe 195 00:10:52,840 --> 00:10:54,480 Speaker 5: even the organization themselves. 196 00:10:54,520 --> 00:10:56,920 Speaker 3: Does does all. 197 00:10:56,360 --> 00:10:59,600 Speaker 5: Elements play a part in what Shador Sanders, how he'll 198 00:10:59,600 --> 00:11:03,439 Speaker 5: be received in the in the locker room. Let's just 199 00:11:03,480 --> 00:11:06,280 Speaker 5: start with the locker room super quickly. Do you feel 200 00:11:06,320 --> 00:11:07,720 Speaker 5: like that fits the mold? 201 00:11:08,960 --> 00:11:12,120 Speaker 4: It doesn't, It doesn't, It doesn't fit the mold. You know, 202 00:11:12,440 --> 00:11:14,560 Speaker 4: you know what these NFL locker rooms are like man, 203 00:11:14,720 --> 00:11:19,360 Speaker 4: fifty three sixty different personalities of of of young men 204 00:11:20,080 --> 00:11:23,080 Speaker 4: and more I would say, more leaning to more of 205 00:11:23,120 --> 00:11:27,600 Speaker 4: the veteran guys. These guys have who have already been 206 00:11:27,960 --> 00:11:30,600 Speaker 4: you know, first team All Pros and Pro Bowlers and 207 00:11:30,600 --> 00:11:33,440 Speaker 4: having played you know, six seven, eight years in it 208 00:11:33,920 --> 00:11:37,960 Speaker 4: and have established a successful career playing in the league. 209 00:11:38,520 --> 00:11:41,840 Speaker 4: With Chador coming into that locker room, it's basically gonna 210 00:11:41,840 --> 00:11:43,920 Speaker 4: come down. Look, look, man, we know you can talk. 211 00:11:44,440 --> 00:11:46,480 Speaker 4: Can you go out and play football?

Uh. Travis 253 00:13:59,000 --> 00:14:01,720 Speaker 5: Hunter is making no bune about it. In my estimation, 254 00:14:02,720 --> 00:14:06,320 Speaker 5: plex that he wants to be a two way player. 255 00:14:06,480 --> 00:14:10,520 Speaker 5: And I think there are pundits that actually agree with 256 00:14:10,640 --> 00:14:14,000 Speaker 5: what it is that Travis Hunter is talking about. Before 257 00:14:14,000 --> 00:14:16,560 Speaker 5: I get your opinion and your assessment on it, and 258 00:14:16,600 --> 00:14:19,040 Speaker 5: I know we talked about it and shows prior and 259 00:14:19,120 --> 00:14:20,760 Speaker 5: I have to say what I have to say. I 260 00:14:20,800 --> 00:14:24,040 Speaker 5: stand on it, but we'll get to that. Here's what 261 00:14:24,080 --> 00:14:26,840 Speaker 5: Travis Hunter had to say while he was being interviewed 262 00:14:26,840 --> 00:14:29,040 Speaker 5: on the podium at the NFL Combine. 263 00:14:29,120 --> 00:14:31,760 Speaker 7: They saying everybody, nobody has ever done it for real 264 00:14:32,000 --> 00:14:33,760 Speaker 7: the way I do it. But I tell him that 265 00:14:34,040 --> 00:14:35,960 Speaker 7: I'm just different. I'm a different person. I don't know 266 00:14:36,000 --> 00:14:38,200 Speaker 7: about returning. I already got two jobs on my hand, 267 00:14:39,360 --> 00:14:39,800 Speaker 7: all right. 268 00:14:39,920 --> 00:14:43,840 Speaker 5: Well that that clearly if you're saying I don't know 269 00:14:43,840 --> 00:14:46,840 Speaker 5: about returning, because I already have two jobs on my hand, 270 00:14:47,680 --> 00:14:50,840 Speaker 5: on my hands, I think that you're referencing. I think 271 00:14:50,840 --> 00:14:53,800 Speaker 5: it's safe to say. 272 00:14:55,040 --> 00:15:02,120 Speaker 3: I think it's safe to say plex. I think it's 273 00:15:02,120 --> 00:15:02,960 Speaker 3: safe to say. 274 00:15:02,760 --> 00:15:05,640 Speaker 5: That that he is assuming that he is going to 275 00:15:05,680 --> 00:15:09,960 Speaker 5: play offense and defense. Now, before you take it, Here's 276 00:15:10,000 --> 00:15:12,000 Speaker 5: what rich Eisen had to say, and I thought this 277 00:15:12,160 --> 00:15:14,960 Speaker 5: was interesting. Here's what he had to say on Pat 278 00:15:15,040 --> 00:15:15,840 Speaker 5: McAfee's show. 279 00:15:16,160 --> 00:15:19,040 Speaker 8: Why isn't Travis Hunter number one overall? Because he is 280 00:15:19,160 --> 00:15:21,720 Speaker 8: a unicorn? And by the way, he just came up 281 00:15:21,720 --> 00:15:23,600 Speaker 8: with a SoundBite of the week as far as I'm concerned. 282 00:15:23,640 --> 00:15:26,000 Speaker 8: He was asked at his press conference, will I think 283 00:15:26,040 --> 00:15:28,240 Speaker 8: while you were talking to Tyrese here, you know, are 284 00:15:28,240 --> 00:15:30,360 Speaker 8: you going to return punts and kicks? And his answer was, 285 00:15:30,400 --> 00:15:36,640 Speaker 8: I already have two jobs, beast, which I already have 286 00:15:36,840 --> 00:15:39,880 Speaker 8: two jobs? Like everybody, back off, I'm a freaking unicorn. 287 00:15:40,360 --> 00:15:43,480 Speaker 8: So why why isn't he considered first overall? 288 00:15:45,320 --> 00:15:48,400 Speaker 5: All Right, there's there's a lot of directions. This one 289 00:15:48,440 --> 00:15:51,600 Speaker 5: could go in stretch a lot. And again I mentioned 290 00:15:51,600 --> 00:15:53,440 Speaker 5: a couple of different things as it applied to what 291 00:15:53,520 --> 00:15:54,640 Speaker 5: Shador had to say. 292 00:15:55,360 --> 00:15:59,040 Speaker 3: Uh, you know again, I guess it applies to. 293 00:15:59,040 --> 00:16:02,000 Speaker 5: The these states mints in these comments as well. I 294 00:16:02,080 --> 00:16:05,520 Speaker 5: will first start by saying this, plex I think it's 295 00:16:05,560 --> 00:16:08,960 Speaker 5: amazing that he has the type of self belief and 296 00:16:09,040 --> 00:16:12,800 Speaker 5: confidence that he has in himself. Clearly the influence of 297 00:16:13,480 --> 00:16:17,880 Speaker 5: Coach Prime and others and others, Big G Big George 298 00:16:17,920 --> 00:16:20,120 Speaker 5: Hegeman is there and Warren. 299 00:16:19,800 --> 00:16:22,120 Speaker 3: Sapp is there. Do you got guys there? 300 00:16:22,440 --> 00:16:26,440 Speaker 5: You know? Obviously Cam comes around, Terrell Owens comes around, 301 00:16:26,920 --> 00:16:32,720 Speaker 5: the influence of positive energy of high achievers is clearly 302 00:16:32,880 --> 00:16:36,920 Speaker 5: a major major impact on how these young men are 303 00:16:37,080 --> 00:16:41,640 Speaker 5: handling themselves and how they're handling the media. Obviously, Bucky 304 00:16:41,760 --> 00:16:46,440 Speaker 5: Dion's son, his oldest son, Dion Junior, has built an 305 00:16:46,520 --> 00:16:51,240 Speaker 5: amazing business off of capturing the content, but not only 306 00:16:51,320 --> 00:16:54,800 Speaker 5: capturing the content, but doing what Something that's super passionate 307 00:16:54,920 --> 00:16:57,480 Speaker 5: for us and what we do in media is to 308 00:16:57,480 --> 00:16:59,680 Speaker 5: be able to teach these young guys how to handle 309 00:16:59,720 --> 00:17:02,120 Speaker 5: them elves in front of a camera and not be 310 00:17:02,240 --> 00:17:05,720 Speaker 5: afraid of expressing themselves and saying the things that they 311 00:17:05,760 --> 00:17:08,480 Speaker 5: truly feel if they know in their hearts that this 312 00:17:08,640 --> 00:17:10,280 Speaker 5: is what they're going to achieve and what they're going 313 00:17:10,320 --> 00:17:13,959 Speaker 5: to accomplish. But with that being said, there are people 314 00:17:14,040 --> 00:17:17,399 Speaker 5: in up top that aren't going to like hearing what 315 00:17:18,200 --> 00:17:20,719 Speaker 5: someone like what Travis Hunter had to say, I already 316 00:17:20,760 --> 00:17:22,840 Speaker 5: have two jobs. What do you mean? You know there's 317 00:17:22,920 --> 00:17:25,760 Speaker 5: fifty three man roster, You know what I mean? I 318 00:17:25,840 --> 00:17:28,560 Speaker 5: think it expanded, whatever it is. But the bottom line 319 00:17:28,560 --> 00:17:30,560 Speaker 5: here is and you have veterans that are on that 320 00:17:30,600 --> 00:17:32,959 Speaker 5: team that's like, Bro, you have been taking one snap 321 00:17:33,000 --> 00:17:35,960 Speaker 5: in the league. You think you different? And he's going 322 00:17:36,040 --> 00:17:39,600 Speaker 5: to feel that in his locker room. Don't do you 323 00:17:39,640 --> 00:17:43,080 Speaker 5: think it's beyond the realm of possibility that his teammates 324 00:17:43,440 --> 00:17:46,640 Speaker 5: are going to make sure he understands that the NFL 325 00:17:46,960 --> 00:17:51,199 Speaker 5: is full of unicorns. You're just now figuring that out, maybe, 326 00:17:51,359 --> 00:17:52,760 Speaker 5: but it's full of you the corns. 327 00:17:52,800 --> 00:17:55,160 Speaker 3: What say you man? 328 00:17:55,200 --> 00:17:58,440 Speaker 4: You know I was always told that everybody's playing, everybody 329 00:17:58,480 --> 00:18:01,600 Speaker 4: that's playing at the next level in the NFL, they 330 00:18:01,720 --> 00:18:03,840 Speaker 4: deserve to be there, and they're there for a reason. 331 00:18:04,320 --> 00:18:06,720 Speaker 4: I wouldn't jump out the window and say it's a 332 00:18:06,800 --> 00:18:08,440 Speaker 4: league full of unicorns. 333 00:18:08,880 --> 00:18:09,160 Speaker 3: Uh. 334 00:18:09,320 --> 00:18:13,680 Speaker 4: There there are great players. There's probably three or four 335 00:18:14,080 --> 00:18:16,720 Speaker 4: when it comes to unicorns as far as playing on 336 00:18:16,760 --> 00:18:20,440 Speaker 4: this level, and some of the names that you just mentioned, 337 00:18:21,160 --> 00:18:22,680 Speaker 4: Dion we all know he's a. 338 00:18:22,640 --> 00:18:24,440 Speaker 3: Coach of Colorado Unicorn. 339 00:18:24,800 --> 00:18:28,800 Speaker 4: Warren Sap he was a Unicorn defensive tackle when he 340 00:18:28,880 --> 00:18:32,520 Speaker 4: was playing football, because he was probably the best defensive 341 00:18:32,520 --> 00:18:34,400 Speaker 4: tackle that you had ever seen. 342 00:18:36,119 --> 00:18:36,760 Speaker 3: In our era. 343 00:18:37,359 --> 00:18:40,919 Speaker 4: So when when they hold these interviews and these press 344 00:18:40,920 --> 00:18:47,440 Speaker 4: conferences about Travis Hunter, Sap iterated the word good and great. 345 00:18:48,320 --> 00:18:51,200 Speaker 4: He said, he's not a good player, Travis Hunter. He's 346 00:18:51,359 --> 00:18:53,960 Speaker 4: he's going to be a great player at the next level. 347 00:18:53,960 --> 00:18:59,879 Speaker 4: You're talking about. Uh, these Sap, Dion Sanders, they have 348 00:19:00,080 --> 00:19:02,840 Speaker 4: played at the elite level of the elite. 349 00:19:03,280 --> 00:19:03,399 Speaker 3: Now. 350 00:19:03,480 --> 00:19:06,640 Speaker 4: These guys have gold jackets already. So when I hear 351 00:19:06,800 --> 00:19:09,320 Speaker 4: the likes of a you know, to O and a 352 00:19:09,440 --> 00:19:14,439 Speaker 4: Dion and a Sap talk about the ability of this 353 00:19:14,560 --> 00:19:19,920 Speaker 4: young man, I will take their word over guys that 354 00:19:20,200 --> 00:19:22,760 Speaker 4: have coached for twenty and thirty years that have never 355 00:19:22,840 --> 00:19:26,280 Speaker 4: played at the next level. Over I'm not going to 356 00:19:26,320 --> 00:19:27,919 Speaker 4: take their word over a Sap or a to O 357 00:19:29,200 --> 00:19:32,000 Speaker 4: or Deon Sanders, because I know that these guys go. 358 00:19:32,160 --> 00:19:35,439 Speaker 4: I know that these guys know and understand what the 359 00:19:35,520 --> 00:19:38,280 Speaker 4: game of football is really like at the next level, 360 00:19:38,800 --> 00:19:39,600 Speaker 4: and you know, you. 361 00:19:39,560 --> 00:19:41,680 Speaker 1: Know how it is coming in. They're not going to 362 00:19:41,720 --> 00:19:42,879 Speaker 1: be a lot of guys that that like. 363 00:19:42,920 --> 00:19:46,040 Speaker 4: Him, and that's fine, It's okay. When he steps out 364 00:19:46,080 --> 00:19:50,240 Speaker 4: on a football field, he's going to prove to himself 365 00:19:50,320 --> 00:19:52,960 Speaker 4: first and the guys in the locker room and the 366 00:19:53,200 --> 00:19:56,920 Speaker 4: organization that he is one of these unicorns coming into 367 00:19:57,000 --> 00:19:58,480 Speaker 4: this league. And I believe he's going to be a 368 00:19:58,520 --> 00:20:01,320 Speaker 4: great player. And listen to to what rich Eisen had 369 00:20:01,320 --> 00:20:04,199 Speaker 4: to say about him, saying, why why is he not 370 00:20:04,320 --> 00:20:06,119 Speaker 4: the first player selected in this draft? 371 00:20:06,119 --> 00:20:08,600 Speaker 3: Because accurate? Should he be number one? 372 00:20:08,640 --> 00:20:11,119 Speaker 4: No, it comes down to need. I think he's the 373 00:20:11,119 --> 00:20:13,800 Speaker 4: best player in the draft. But if you're Tennessee or 374 00:20:13,800 --> 00:20:15,399 Speaker 4: you're the Cleveland Browns and you know you need a 375 00:20:15,400 --> 00:20:18,879 Speaker 4: franchise quarterback moving forward, that's the only reason why he 376 00:20:19,040 --> 00:20:22,080 Speaker 4: is not the first pick in his draft because it 377 00:20:22,160 --> 00:20:25,240 Speaker 4: comes down to need. And when you look at Travis 378 00:20:25,280 --> 00:20:29,440 Speaker 4: Hunter and what he brings to a football team, you're 379 00:20:29,480 --> 00:20:32,400 Speaker 4: looking at the top four teams in the draft Tennessee, 380 00:20:32,960 --> 00:20:36,000 Speaker 4: Cleveland Browns, the Giants, and the Patriots. 381 00:20:36,720 --> 00:20:37,800 Speaker 3: I believe that. 382 00:20:39,640 --> 00:20:42,280 Speaker 4: Travis Hunter right now, that he's the best player in 383 00:20:42,320 --> 00:20:45,359 Speaker 4: this draft, that he will end up being picked forth 384 00:20:45,880 --> 00:20:47,159 Speaker 4: by the New England Patriots. 385 00:20:47,520 --> 00:20:48,480 Speaker 3: By the Patriots. 386 00:20:48,600 --> 00:20:50,760 Speaker 4: I believe that's what's going to happen because I believe 387 00:20:50,840 --> 00:20:52,000 Speaker 4: that Tennessee. 388 00:20:51,840 --> 00:20:54,159 Speaker 3: And believe he's the best player in the draft. 389 00:20:54,320 --> 00:20:56,119 Speaker 4: I believe he's the best player in the draft. But 390 00:20:56,200 --> 00:20:57,639 Speaker 4: it comes down to need and want. 391 00:20:58,040 --> 00:21:00,679 Speaker 5: Let me ask you this, let me rephrase it. Is 392 00:21:00,720 --> 00:21:03,600 Speaker 5: he the best athlete in the draft? I would give 393 00:21:03,680 --> 00:21:06,080 Speaker 5: him best athlete in the draft. I don't think I 394 00:21:06,119 --> 00:21:09,040 Speaker 5: give him best prospect in the draft. 395 00:21:09,680 --> 00:21:12,280 Speaker 4: I mean I would say I'm saying he's the best 396 00:21:12,359 --> 00:21:15,160 Speaker 4: football player in this draft out of all of these 397 00:21:15,240 --> 00:21:18,879 Speaker 4: young men that are being drafted, he has the biggest 398 00:21:19,040 --> 00:21:22,160 Speaker 4: impact on the game of football when he is out 399 00:21:22,200 --> 00:21:27,760 Speaker 4: on the football field that cam Ward Shador Sanders, Abdul Carter, 400 00:21:28,080 --> 00:21:31,760 Speaker 4: whoever these guys are. Jackson Dark I believe when he 401 00:21:31,920 --> 00:21:35,800 Speaker 4: is on the football field, when he is playing, he 402 00:21:35,880 --> 00:21:39,560 Speaker 4: has the biggest impact of any football player in this 403 00:21:39,720 --> 00:21:45,439 Speaker 4: draft this year. That's not saying athlete as football player. 404 00:21:45,680 --> 00:21:49,800 Speaker 5: But is it hard to make that assessment when you're 405 00:21:50,000 --> 00:21:52,879 Speaker 5: using him two ways? See to me, I'm trying to 406 00:21:52,920 --> 00:21:55,720 Speaker 5: be I'm trying to be even on it plex because 407 00:21:56,119 --> 00:22:01,960 Speaker 5: it's like at a glance, like at a surface level, 408 00:22:02,160 --> 00:22:05,280 Speaker 5: it's one hundred percent easy to say this should be 409 00:22:05,320 --> 00:22:08,080 Speaker 5: the number one prospect in this year's draft. At a 410 00:22:08,119 --> 00:22:10,840 Speaker 5: surface level, you should be able to say he has 411 00:22:10,880 --> 00:22:14,680 Speaker 5: the most impact, but he's been given the most opportunities 412 00:22:14,680 --> 00:22:17,320 Speaker 5: to be impactful at the positions that he plays for one, 413 00:22:17,480 --> 00:22:22,919 Speaker 5: but he deserves it. I would certainly say the level 414 00:22:22,960 --> 00:22:27,240 Speaker 5: of competition, to me, would would play a major, major 415 00:22:27,359 --> 00:22:30,359 Speaker 5: part in a major role in some of these the 416 00:22:30,760 --> 00:22:34,600 Speaker 5: estimations of how how great a player you know is, 417 00:22:34,680 --> 00:22:38,359 Speaker 5: I don't look at the Big Twelve, as you know, 418 00:22:38,520 --> 00:22:41,040 Speaker 5: that's the standard of which you can measure. 419 00:22:42,640 --> 00:22:44,120 Speaker 3: How great a player is. Now. 420 00:22:44,160 --> 00:22:46,760 Speaker 5: Granted there have been some excellent players that have come 421 00:22:46,760 --> 00:22:49,400 Speaker 5: out of the Big Twelve, but with all this realigning 422 00:22:49,440 --> 00:22:51,199 Speaker 5: and all this stuff that's going on, I think that 423 00:22:51,280 --> 00:22:54,199 Speaker 5: it's safe to say you're probably going to have to 424 00:22:54,240 --> 00:22:57,880 Speaker 5: see him a guy against better competition before you sit 425 00:22:57,920 --> 00:23:00,159 Speaker 5: there and you put him out. Like the same thing 426 00:23:00,200 --> 00:23:03,120 Speaker 5: with Ashton Genty, right, I think that Ashton gent If 427 00:23:03,119 --> 00:23:06,560 Speaker 5: I'm just being one hundred percent all the way straight 428 00:23:06,640 --> 00:23:10,919 Speaker 5: from the hip, who has been the most impactful. 429 00:23:10,280 --> 00:23:15,840 Speaker 3: Player for their team. It's Ashton Genty. It's Ashton Genty, And. 430 00:23:15,760 --> 00:23:20,160 Speaker 5: I think that I think that I believe that that. Obviously, 431 00:23:20,560 --> 00:23:24,159 Speaker 5: you know Travis wond the Heisman, he played both ways. 432 00:23:24,640 --> 00:23:28,040 Speaker 5: I think he had a tremendous impact and effect on 433 00:23:28,240 --> 00:23:30,640 Speaker 5: his team in college football. But if I'm looking at 434 00:23:30,640 --> 00:23:33,720 Speaker 5: it just beneath the surface, like what what part of 435 00:23:33,760 --> 00:23:35,720 Speaker 5: the glacier lies beneath the surface? 436 00:23:36,080 --> 00:23:37,800 Speaker 3: And I break it down and I look at. 437 00:23:37,680 --> 00:23:41,440 Speaker 5: What Ashton Genty did per play and how that that 438 00:23:41,520 --> 00:23:43,920 Speaker 5: carried their team through some of the games that they 439 00:23:44,040 --> 00:23:46,200 Speaker 5: won and led to them being where they were at, 440 00:23:46,320 --> 00:23:49,560 Speaker 5: I would go with Ashton Genty. Now that's not saying 441 00:23:49,600 --> 00:23:53,280 Speaker 5: that that translates to who's the most impactful in the 442 00:23:53,359 --> 00:23:56,280 Speaker 5: National Football League, because if I'm looking at it from 443 00:23:56,280 --> 00:23:59,640 Speaker 5: that perspective, I ultimately say the same thing I said 444 00:23:59,640 --> 00:24:02,800 Speaker 5: when sir won the Defensive Player of the Year award, 445 00:24:03,119 --> 00:24:06,080 Speaker 5: how are you quantifying it? He did not have very 446 00:24:06,080 --> 00:24:09,119 Speaker 5: many interceptions. If you're looking at what he brought to 447 00:24:09,160 --> 00:24:11,960 Speaker 5: the table with the stat line that he had, there 448 00:24:12,000 --> 00:24:14,720 Speaker 5: should have been dudes like Revis and Bailey and just 449 00:24:14,760 --> 00:24:17,240 Speaker 5: to name a few that should have been Defensive Players 450 00:24:17,240 --> 00:24:19,960 Speaker 5: of the Year in years past because they had way 451 00:24:20,040 --> 00:24:23,080 Speaker 5: more production and in the stat lines and what it 452 00:24:23,160 --> 00:24:26,040 Speaker 5: is that they did along with what it is you 453 00:24:26,119 --> 00:24:30,000 Speaker 5: said that Pat certain you know did when he when 454 00:24:30,040 --> 00:24:32,439 Speaker 5: he had this season, that just took place. So I 455 00:24:32,480 --> 00:24:34,959 Speaker 5: feel like when you we're looking and we're measuring and 456 00:24:35,000 --> 00:24:39,199 Speaker 5: we're judging right, to me, I don't look at a 457 00:24:39,320 --> 00:24:42,520 Speaker 5: cornerback and a receiver and it says to me, he 458 00:24:42,560 --> 00:24:45,800 Speaker 5: plays both, so he's he's going to be more impactful 459 00:24:45,840 --> 00:24:47,800 Speaker 5: in the league. I don't look at it that way. 460 00:24:48,280 --> 00:24:50,680 Speaker 5: And I made that point. I made that point before. 461 00:24:50,920 --> 00:24:53,399 Speaker 5: I don't know how you quantify him being the best 462 00:24:53,440 --> 00:24:57,119 Speaker 5: prospect in the league truly as a corner I don't 463 00:24:57,480 --> 00:24:59,199 Speaker 5: And then if I'm looking at him as a receiver, 464 00:24:59,520 --> 00:25:01,359 Speaker 5: I don't know, so how you quantify him as a 465 00:25:01,400 --> 00:25:04,280 Speaker 5: receiver to say he's the best receiver in the draft 466 00:25:04,800 --> 00:25:07,240 Speaker 5: or the best prospect in the draft going as a receiver. 467 00:25:07,680 --> 00:25:09,720 Speaker 5: So you're trying to put both of them together to 468 00:25:09,760 --> 00:25:11,840 Speaker 5: say that he should be the number one prospect or 469 00:25:11,880 --> 00:25:14,600 Speaker 5: should be the unicorn, or whatever it is that you're saying. 470 00:25:14,800 --> 00:25:18,480 Speaker 5: But I can't quantify both of them. I can't me. 471 00:25:18,880 --> 00:25:22,119 Speaker 5: I can't responsibly quantify both of them and say he 472 00:25:22,200 --> 00:25:24,639 Speaker 5: should be the number one guy because he can be 473 00:25:24,800 --> 00:25:26,960 Speaker 5: dominant at both sides of the ball. Now, I might 474 00:25:27,040 --> 00:25:30,240 Speaker 5: sound crazy, and somebody's out there saying LeVar sounds crazy, 475 00:25:30,520 --> 00:25:33,760 Speaker 5: But I only sound crazy until y'all see what happens 476 00:25:33,800 --> 00:25:36,199 Speaker 5: in the league. Right now, he can make me sound crazy, 477 00:25:36,200 --> 00:25:41,399 Speaker 5: plex But today, today, today, if I'm airing on the 478 00:25:41,480 --> 00:25:44,560 Speaker 5: side of caution and saying, you know what, we could 479 00:25:44,600 --> 00:25:48,040 Speaker 5: sit here and think for two minutes that Travis Hunter 480 00:25:48,160 --> 00:25:49,720 Speaker 5: is going to go into the league and he's going 481 00:25:49,760 --> 00:25:53,119 Speaker 5: to play consistently on both sides of the ball, and 482 00:25:53,160 --> 00:25:55,760 Speaker 5: he's going to be an all pro talent on both 483 00:25:55,800 --> 00:25:58,439 Speaker 5: sides of the ball, pro bowler on both sides of 484 00:25:58,440 --> 00:26:00,959 Speaker 5: the ball. I think I would I would tend to 485 00:26:00,960 --> 00:26:03,960 Speaker 5: put my money towards he's not versus he is. 486 00:26:04,840 --> 00:26:08,160 Speaker 4: Well, I believe you're saying that the Big twelve Conference 487 00:26:08,240 --> 00:26:12,000 Speaker 4: you can't really judge him of how good of a 488 00:26:12,119 --> 00:26:15,160 Speaker 4: player is because of the competition. Well, what he's doing 489 00:26:15,200 --> 00:26:17,720 Speaker 4: both ways, I'm gonna take it as I'm gonna take 490 00:26:17,720 --> 00:26:20,840 Speaker 4: it absolutely, I'm gonna take it a step further. I'm 491 00:26:20,840 --> 00:26:23,720 Speaker 4: gonna say that if he plays one side of the ball, 492 00:26:23,960 --> 00:26:26,960 Speaker 4: and I believe that he's a better cornerback than he 493 00:26:27,080 --> 00:26:30,840 Speaker 4: is a wide receiver. I believe that his overall production 494 00:26:31,400 --> 00:26:35,600 Speaker 4: as a corner of him playing defense solely defense, he's 495 00:26:35,640 --> 00:26:39,160 Speaker 4: a better football player than he is now because he's 496 00:26:39,160 --> 00:26:42,840 Speaker 4: not playing two sides of the football. He's playing one side. Man, 497 00:26:42,880 --> 00:26:45,480 Speaker 4: Sometimes this guy plays one hundred plus plays a game. 498 00:26:45,720 --> 00:26:47,280 Speaker 3: That's crazy. That's crazy. 499 00:26:47,320 --> 00:26:51,280 Speaker 4: That's only what sixty seventy plays in the NFL football game. 500 00:26:51,440 --> 00:26:53,639 Speaker 4: So now you're talking about this man being able to 501 00:26:53,640 --> 00:26:57,320 Speaker 4: play just one side of the football, and his natural 502 00:26:57,400 --> 00:27:02,480 Speaker 4: talent I believe makes him a better defender than it 503 00:27:02,600 --> 00:27:05,400 Speaker 4: will or wide receiver at the next level. And you're 504 00:27:05,440 --> 00:27:10,320 Speaker 4: looking at competition, I'm looking at the instincts, the way 505 00:27:10,400 --> 00:27:14,560 Speaker 4: this man reason reacts to routes and his ball skills 506 00:27:14,560 --> 00:27:17,800 Speaker 4: when the balls in there, whether he's playing offense or defense, 507 00:27:18,280 --> 00:27:20,080 Speaker 4: that is what I'm judging him off of. 508 00:27:20,359 --> 00:27:21,879 Speaker 3: I'm not looking at the competition. 509 00:27:22,280 --> 00:27:25,800 Speaker 4: I'm looking at the player, and what the player shows 510 00:27:25,840 --> 00:27:29,760 Speaker 4: me is that Listen, the man has instincts out of 511 00:27:29,800 --> 00:27:33,119 Speaker 4: this world. Balls in the air, he's attacking the football, 512 00:27:33,520 --> 00:27:37,879 Speaker 4: he's in tight coverage, he's intercepting the football, he's breaking 513 00:27:37,960 --> 00:27:41,480 Speaker 4: up passes. That's what I'm looking at from a cornerbacks. 514 00:27:41,480 --> 00:27:44,720 Speaker 4: Then as far as evaluating him as a player, and 515 00:27:44,800 --> 00:27:47,240 Speaker 4: when I look at everybody else that's in this draft, 516 00:27:47,720 --> 00:27:50,840 Speaker 4: when it comes to being a pure football player, Travis 517 00:27:50,920 --> 00:27:53,760 Speaker 4: Hunter is the best pure football player in this draft. 518 00:27:53,960 --> 00:27:56,040 Speaker 4: I don't believe he's going to go on the next 519 00:27:56,080 --> 00:27:59,440 Speaker 4: level and be first team All Pro on offense, first 520 00:27:59,440 --> 00:28:00,480 Speaker 4: team All Pro on defense. 521 00:28:00,520 --> 00:28:01,000 Speaker 3: I don't think. 522 00:28:01,040 --> 00:28:03,920 Speaker 4: I don't think that's reasonable for us to say right now. 523 00:28:04,119 --> 00:28:06,679 Speaker 4: But I do believe that when he walks on a 524 00:28:06,680 --> 00:28:10,879 Speaker 4: football field this fall and he's a playing a cornerback 525 00:28:11,320 --> 00:28:14,239 Speaker 4: at it has the football league, he is going to 526 00:28:14,280 --> 00:28:17,159 Speaker 4: be one of the best cornerbacks in the league that 527 00:28:17,200 --> 00:28:19,160 Speaker 4: we see this year, and he will make a Pro Bowl, 528 00:28:19,200 --> 00:28:20,680 Speaker 4: and he will make a first team All Pro. 529 00:28:21,440 --> 00:28:24,400 Speaker 5: I just think that it has to be quantified by 530 00:28:24,520 --> 00:28:27,400 Speaker 5: more than just saying that they don't throw his direction. 531 00:28:28,520 --> 00:28:30,760 Speaker 5: I think it has to be quantified in some ways, 532 00:28:30,760 --> 00:28:33,320 Speaker 5: in some forms in the stat line. It has to 533 00:28:33,359 --> 00:28:38,080 Speaker 5: show in either you know past defense, either you know 534 00:28:38,800 --> 00:28:44,640 Speaker 5: and or interceptions, the amount of tackles, whatever, all things given, 535 00:28:45,000 --> 00:28:48,160 Speaker 5: I feel like it has to be a little more quantifiable. 536 00:28:48,320 --> 00:28:51,240 Speaker 5: At that position. It's easy and it's simple for most 537 00:28:51,280 --> 00:28:55,280 Speaker 5: other positions. If he played receiver, it's easily quantifiable. If 538 00:28:55,280 --> 00:28:59,160 Speaker 5: his stat line is not is not impressive, then you're 539 00:28:59,200 --> 00:29:02,120 Speaker 5: not looking at him as a top receiver. It's simple 540 00:29:02,720 --> 00:29:05,280 Speaker 5: how many catches are he making, how many targets? How 541 00:29:05,280 --> 00:29:07,600 Speaker 5: many times did he catch the ball? Because sometimes the 542 00:29:07,680 --> 00:29:10,080 Speaker 5: hit and stating that is, y'all catch dropped the ball. 543 00:29:10,200 --> 00:29:11,480 Speaker 3: Y'all won't blame it on the QB. 544 00:29:11,800 --> 00:29:14,880 Speaker 5: But sometimes y'all catch dropped the ball, you know, and 545 00:29:15,160 --> 00:29:19,280 Speaker 5: so to me, so to me, so to me. When 546 00:29:19,280 --> 00:29:22,520 Speaker 5: you when you think about it, like there's quantifiable things 547 00:29:22,520 --> 00:29:24,800 Speaker 5: for a defensive end, I can say this is why 548 00:29:24,840 --> 00:29:27,320 Speaker 5: I think Abdul Carter is the is the best prospect 549 00:29:27,440 --> 00:29:31,080 Speaker 5: in the draft. I can give you tangible evidence in 550 00:29:31,160 --> 00:29:33,920 Speaker 5: terms of his stat line that would show and and 551 00:29:33,960 --> 00:29:36,680 Speaker 5: the idea that he plays more than just a defensive end. 552 00:29:36,760 --> 00:29:39,600 Speaker 5: He does play linebacker, he does stand up, he does cover, 553 00:29:39,680 --> 00:29:43,200 Speaker 5: he does he does have pass breakups and past defenses. 554 00:29:42,840 --> 00:29:43,520 Speaker 3: And those difference. 555 00:29:44,400 --> 00:29:45,320 Speaker 4: Hasn't done those things? 556 00:29:45,440 --> 00:29:47,760 Speaker 5: Yes, he What was he doing when he was playing? 557 00:29:48,840 --> 00:29:53,120 Speaker 5: I mean is four interceptions? I mean is is what? 558 00:29:53,120 --> 00:29:55,880 Speaker 3: What? What? What was his interceptions this year? 559 00:29:55,960 --> 00:29:56,000 Speaker 5: For? 560 00:29:56,640 --> 00:29:58,400 Speaker 3: He had four? I N t's this year is that's. 561 00:29:59,040 --> 00:30:00,640 Speaker 4: So you think people are not throwing the ball this 562 00:30:00,720 --> 00:30:02,600 Speaker 4: way because he's not because he can't play football. 563 00:30:03,240 --> 00:30:05,120 Speaker 5: No, I don't think they're not throwing it away, because 564 00:30:05,600 --> 00:30:09,680 Speaker 5: I know they are. I'm just saying to myself, when 565 00:30:09,760 --> 00:30:12,480 Speaker 5: you get into a situation where you got to quantify 566 00:30:12,680 --> 00:30:16,480 Speaker 5: the value, four interceptions does not say elite to me, 567 00:30:16,600 --> 00:30:18,640 Speaker 5: my g It doesn't. 568 00:30:18,400 --> 00:30:20,760 Speaker 3: Say lead to me. How many? How many? 569 00:30:20,840 --> 00:30:24,320 Speaker 4: How many? Let's find out how many seasons that Darrel 570 00:30:24,440 --> 00:30:29,080 Speaker 4: reasoned that he led the league in interceptions. 571 00:30:29,600 --> 00:30:31,239 Speaker 3: I will pull up. I will pull that up. 572 00:30:31,280 --> 00:30:36,560 Speaker 4: Listen, because hey, you know how I know he didn't 573 00:30:36,640 --> 00:30:39,240 Speaker 4: leave the league interceptions because he won't nobody throwing the 574 00:30:39,240 --> 00:30:39,800 Speaker 4: ball this way. 575 00:30:40,920 --> 00:30:43,240 Speaker 3: But I bet you had more than four interceptions. Hey, 576 00:30:43,480 --> 00:30:44,880 Speaker 3: let's get Isaac lowan Crow. 577 00:30:45,320 --> 00:30:47,440 Speaker 5: We're going to figure out how to finish this conversation, 578 00:30:47,520 --> 00:30:49,520 Speaker 5: but first let's hear what my band Ilo has to 579 00:30:49,560 --> 00:30:50,280 Speaker 5: say on the update. 580 00:30:50,280 --> 00:30:50,680 Speaker 3: What we got. 581 00:30:50,920 --> 00:30:53,640 Speaker 9: Yeah, speaking of stats, I have this note here.

On the other side of 665 00:34:25,120 --> 00:34:27,920 Speaker 5: this break, it's up on Game this Fox Sports Radio. 666 00:34:28,080 --> 00:34:32,080 Speaker 3: We'll be right back. All right, all right, welcome back in. 667 00:34:32,280 --> 00:34:37,000 Speaker 5: This is up on Game, says Tyrack dot Com Studios' 668 00:34:37,120 --> 00:34:41,839 Speaker 5: Plexico Burds. I'm LaVar Arrington and TJ is. 669 00:34:41,960 --> 00:34:45,400 Speaker 3: In obviously Indianapolis. 670 00:34:45,719 --> 00:34:48,080 Speaker 5: Shortly after the show, if you want to check out 671 00:34:48,120 --> 00:34:50,440 Speaker 5: our podcast, it's gonna go up, so make sure you 672 00:34:50,520 --> 00:34:52,120 Speaker 5: check it out. If you missed anything. We had some 673 00:34:52,120 --> 00:34:55,239 Speaker 5: great conversations going on. Uh just look up up on 674 00:34:55,320 --> 00:34:57,920 Speaker 5: Game wherever it is you get your podcasts from. All right, Uh, 675 00:34:57,960 --> 00:34:59,919 Speaker 5: before we get to the end of the hour, let's 676 00:35:00,000 --> 00:35:04,160 Speaker 5: wrap it up this way. The Rams re signed Matthew Stafford. 677 00:35:04,320 --> 00:35:10,240 Speaker 5: Stretch and listen. I think the market came to Matthew Stafford. 678 00:35:10,239 --> 00:35:12,319 Speaker 5: They say, when they give you the opportunity to test 679 00:35:12,360 --> 00:35:15,359 Speaker 5: the market, don't be upset. Or surprised if you don't 680 00:35:15,400 --> 00:35:18,080 Speaker 5: get the response that you're looking for. This time, it 681 00:35:18,160 --> 00:35:21,240 Speaker 5: actually worked out. Matthew Stafford got a ton of interest 682 00:35:21,320 --> 00:35:24,640 Speaker 5: from the Giants, a ton of interest from the Raiders. 683 00:35:24,640 --> 00:35:27,400 Speaker 5: It was reported that you know, him and Tom Brady 684 00:35:27,440 --> 00:35:31,800 Speaker 5: had linked up or whatever. However whoopedi woo by accident, coincidence, 685 00:35:31,840 --> 00:35:34,840 Speaker 5: whatever it was they talked. It looks as though the 686 00:35:34,960 --> 00:35:36,839 Speaker 5: Rams was like, look, we're not going to play that game, 687 00:35:36,880 --> 00:35:39,680 Speaker 5: because if these guys are that aggressive about trying to 688 00:35:39,680 --> 00:35:42,600 Speaker 5: get a quarterback, then if we were to lose this 689 00:35:42,719 --> 00:35:46,040 Speaker 5: quarterback to the market, then obviously we're going to be 690 00:35:46,040 --> 00:35:48,719 Speaker 5: in the same situation and position that they're and so 691 00:35:49,080 --> 00:35:52,200 Speaker 5: they get it done. Is this the right Is this 692 00:35:52,280 --> 00:35:54,279 Speaker 5: the right move by the Rams? Is this the right 693 00:35:54,320 --> 00:35:57,080 Speaker 5: move by Matthew Stafford. 694 00:35:57,880 --> 00:36:00,520 Speaker 4: I think it's the right move by the RAM. I 695 00:36:00,600 --> 00:36:04,000 Speaker 4: mean I don't think they were really in that space 696 00:36:04,080 --> 00:36:07,960 Speaker 4: of you know, starting over from the quarterback position. I mean, 697 00:36:07,960 --> 00:36:10,440 Speaker 4: Matthew Stafford I believe is the best option for this 698 00:36:10,480 --> 00:36:13,480 Speaker 4: football team. You know, for the next two or three years. 699 00:36:13,520 --> 00:36:17,520 Speaker 4: Sean Sean McVey is still present at the head coach 700 00:36:18,000 --> 00:36:20,440 Speaker 4: and you know, I just don't see this team where 701 00:36:20,480 --> 00:36:24,239 Speaker 4: they're at right now moving forward. You know they're not 702 00:36:24,280 --> 00:36:28,080 Speaker 4: going to have Cooper Cup this season moving moving forward, 703 00:36:28,080 --> 00:36:30,439 Speaker 4: so that's going to be a loss for them offensively. 704 00:36:30,840 --> 00:36:34,920 Speaker 4: But I just think that keeping him in LA was 705 00:36:34,960 --> 00:36:37,000 Speaker 4: the right move for this team. I mean, people are 706 00:36:37,040 --> 00:36:40,000 Speaker 4: telling me that he wanted forty five fifty plus million 707 00:36:40,040 --> 00:36:44,239 Speaker 4: dollars a season if he was going to play for 708 00:36:44,280 --> 00:36:47,919 Speaker 4: another team, and uh, you know, listen, he's super Bowl 709 00:36:47,920 --> 00:36:51,960 Speaker 4: winning quarterback. What is it fifty seven million dollars thirty 710 00:36:52,000 --> 00:36:55,200 Speaker 4: five guaranteed over the next three seasons. I believe that 711 00:36:55,200 --> 00:36:58,080 Speaker 4: it's the best move for him. I don't believe that 712 00:36:58,080 --> 00:36:59,960 Speaker 4: anybody was going to pay him the amount of money 713 00:37:00,160 --> 00:37:02,960 Speaker 4: that he won't want it to be paid. Uh. Moving 714 00:37:03,000 --> 00:37:07,560 Speaker 4: on from this franchise, so, uh will they compete in 715 00:37:07,560 --> 00:37:09,640 Speaker 4: the NFC West? I believe they will. 716 00:37:10,480 --> 00:37:11,120 Speaker 3: Uh. 717 00:37:11,239 --> 00:37:13,480 Speaker 4: Do you expect from them to make the playoffs? Maybe not? 718 00:37:14,400 --> 00:37:17,120 Speaker 4: But I just think for this team, he's the best 719 00:37:17,239 --> 00:37:22,120 Speaker 4: fit for this offense under Sean McVay, and they're gonna 720 00:37:22,200 --> 00:37:24,720 Speaker 4: they're gonna put a product out on a football field 721 00:37:24,840 --> 00:37:26,200 Speaker 4: that can win football games. 722 00:37:28,239 --> 00:37:29,480 Speaker 3: I think they were really close. 723 00:37:29,560 --> 00:37:33,000 Speaker 5: I wouldn't be surprised if after the smoke clears and 724 00:37:33,120 --> 00:37:36,600 Speaker 5: the dust subtles down plex that Cooper Cup comes back 725 00:37:36,920 --> 00:37:39,880 Speaker 5: under a different type of contract to the Rams. I 726 00:37:39,880 --> 00:37:43,399 Speaker 5: think we all know how how documented will documented their 727 00:37:43,440 --> 00:37:44,440 Speaker 5: relationship is. 728 00:37:44,960 --> 00:37:45,400 Speaker 3: Uh. 729 00:37:45,719 --> 00:37:51,280 Speaker 5: You know, Puka nikua is is a star. Uh now 730 00:37:51,400 --> 00:37:54,080 Speaker 5: he's a superstar possibly in the making. I mean, he's 731 00:37:54,080 --> 00:37:57,640 Speaker 5: a kid, is special. They have some some nice pieces. 732 00:37:57,640 --> 00:38:01,759 Speaker 5: They re signed alignment as well, and I'm sure that 733 00:38:01,760 --> 00:38:04,840 Speaker 5: that had something to do with the signing taking place. 734 00:38:04,880 --> 00:38:08,360 Speaker 5: You know, sometimes teammates will look out for other teammates 735 00:38:08,400 --> 00:38:11,279 Speaker 5: and and that that makes a difference. Uh. 736 00:38:11,320 --> 00:38:13,520 Speaker 3: But I think this is a great play by by 737 00:38:13,560 --> 00:38:15,440 Speaker 3: the Rams. They were very close. 738 00:38:15,480 --> 00:38:18,759 Speaker 5: I mean, you're they they played a closer game and 739 00:38:18,800 --> 00:38:22,120 Speaker 5: it was a more impressive situation with them against the 740 00:38:22,120 --> 00:38:24,600 Speaker 5: Eagles than it was in the Super Bowl with the 741 00:38:24,680 --> 00:38:26,920 Speaker 5: Kansas City Chiefs. So that kind of gives you an 742 00:38:26,960 --> 00:38:30,440 Speaker 5: idea maybe in that moment of time, that this possibly 743 00:38:30,480 --> 00:38:34,280 Speaker 5: could be a team that could could you know, actually 744 00:38:34,520 --> 00:38:38,239 Speaker 5: make it back to the pinnacle of the NFL going 745 00:38:38,280 --> 00:38:41,280 Speaker 5: to the Super Bowl, you know, after the tremendous loss 746 00:38:41,320 --> 00:38:46,320 Speaker 5: and the vacancy left by by Aaron Donald leaving the game. 747 00:38:46,200 --> 00:38:47,600 Speaker 3: But they got some players. 748 00:38:47,640 --> 00:38:50,760 Speaker 5: Obviously, they had two guys that were up for Defensive 749 00:38:50,800 --> 00:38:52,799 Speaker 5: Rookie of the Year, which means that you had at 750 00:38:52,880 --> 00:38:57,040 Speaker 5: least another two three years of elite defensive play up 751 00:38:57,040 --> 00:38:59,880 Speaker 5: front for your for your defensive side of the ball. 752 00:39:00,560 --> 00:39:02,520 Speaker 5: I just think that this team is in a really, 753 00:39:02,560 --> 00:39:06,560 Speaker 5: really good situation. McVeigh is a strong coach, and this 754 00:39:06,800 --> 00:39:09,760 Speaker 5: is a team that really you look at them on paper, 755 00:39:10,040 --> 00:39:14,280 Speaker 5: the way Sneid has done the building out of this roster, 756 00:39:14,920 --> 00:39:18,360 Speaker 5: they seem to be with the securing of Matthew Stafford, 757 00:39:18,840 --> 00:39:21,120 Speaker 5: they could be a team that you look forward to 758 00:39:21,160 --> 00:39:24,120 Speaker 5: not only be a competitor, you know once you get 759 00:39:24,160 --> 00:39:26,839 Speaker 5: to the postseason. But you got to assume that they're 760 00:39:26,920 --> 00:39:29,800 Speaker 5: probably looking good. I mean, you look at the Arizona Cardinals. 761 00:39:29,800 --> 00:39:31,640 Speaker 5: What have they done to got to get better? 762 00:39:31,719 --> 00:39:32,000 Speaker 3: Yet? 763 00:39:32,160 --> 00:39:34,400 Speaker 5: What has the San Francisco forty nine ers, who that 764 00:39:34,640 --> 00:39:36,960 Speaker 5: is supposed to be the team that you got to 765 00:39:36,960 --> 00:39:40,520 Speaker 5: deal with, How did they get better this offseason? And 766 00:39:40,880 --> 00:39:44,200 Speaker 5: did Seattle get better? Did Seattle hit there? See, it's 767 00:39:44,200 --> 00:39:46,360 Speaker 5: a wide open NFC West plex. 768 00:39:47,040 --> 00:39:50,359 Speaker 4: Yeah, you just don't know who's going to merge to 769 00:39:50,440 --> 00:39:52,799 Speaker 4: the top of this division. I mean, just like you said, 770 00:39:52,800 --> 00:39:55,840 Speaker 4: word of Savages go forty nine ers right now, especially 771 00:39:56,000 --> 00:40:01,280 Speaker 4: you know with their quarterbacking situation with Brock Party moving forward. Uh, 772 00:40:01,400 --> 00:40:04,440 Speaker 4: you know Brandon I, is he gonna be able to 773 00:40:04,480 --> 00:40:05,200 Speaker 4: come back healthy? 774 00:40:05,600 --> 00:40:05,759 Speaker 2: Uh? 775 00:40:06,040 --> 00:40:08,359 Speaker 4: Christian McCaffery, is he gonna be able to be able 776 00:40:08,360 --> 00:40:09,040 Speaker 4: to come back healthy? 777 00:40:09,080 --> 00:40:09,920 Speaker 1: If you just don't know so? 778 00:40:10,080 --> 00:40:13,560 Speaker 5: Trent Williams is he back healthy? Does Deebo Samuel's even 779 00:40:13,600 --> 00:40:15,399 Speaker 5: come back to the team at all? I think you 780 00:40:15,400 --> 00:40:17,200 Speaker 5: you make some great points there, and you know what, 781 00:40:17,680 --> 00:40:19,840 Speaker 5: Plex has made some really strong points.
