Speaker 2: We're gonna head outside. We got a game a little

26
00:01:22,188 --> 00:01:25,108
Speaker 2: competition before the guys get ready to compete out there

27
00:01:25,428 --> 00:01:28,388
Speaker 2: on the combine field. And that's because the new league

28
00:01:28,468 --> 00:01:31,748
Speaker 2: year is just over two weeks away. So the combine

29
00:01:31,828 --> 00:01:34,308
Speaker 2: is this week, but NFL gms will have the work

30
00:01:34,308 --> 00:01:36,908
Speaker 2: cut out for them between now and then. We welcome

31
00:01:36,908 --> 00:01:39,988
Speaker 2: in our NFL Network insider Tom Pellasero. Now he is

32
00:01:40,108 --> 00:01:44,108
Speaker 2: live from the twenty twenty six NFL Scouting Combine, and Tom,

33
00:01:44,148 --> 00:01:46,748
Speaker 2: before we see these up and comers, these new guys,

34
00:01:46,788 --> 00:01:49,188
Speaker 2: there's a couple of vets we're keeping our eyes on.

35
00:01:49,228 --> 00:01:49,948
Speaker 3: What can you tell.

36
00:01:49,868 --> 00:01:50,988
Speaker 8: Us, well, Sherry.

37
00:01:50,988 --> 00:01:54,028
Speaker 9: We heard from over forty head coaches and general managers

38
00:01:54,068 --> 00:01:58,508
Speaker 9: here in Indianapolis yesterday addressing a variety of the news

39
00:01:58,548 --> 00:02:01,428
Speaker 9: topics we'll be covering extensively over the next several weeks.

40
00:02:01,668 --> 00:02:05,108
Speaker 9: In an annual tradition, One of those is a Aaron Rodgers.

41
00:02:05,108 --> 00:02:09,668
Speaker 9: Steelers general manager Omar Khan at the podium yesterday reiterated

42
00:02:09,708 --> 00:02:11,868
Speaker 9: what we have been saying, which is that the door

43
00:02:11,988 --> 00:02:15,348
Speaker 9: is very much open for the four time NFL MVP to.

44
00:02:15,388 --> 00:02:17,028
Speaker 8: Come back to Pittsburgh.

45
00:02:17,188 --> 00:02:21,068
Speaker 9: Rodgers has spoken with con He's also spoken several times,

46
00:02:21,068 --> 00:02:24,268
Speaker 9: I am told with Mike McCarthy just talking football and

47
00:02:24,588 --> 00:02:27,188
Speaker 9: what this would look like if they were to get

48
00:02:27,228 --> 00:02:30,348
Speaker 9: back together. Of course, McCarthy and Rogers have a very

49
00:02:30,348 --> 00:02:32,828
Speaker 9: close relationship, going all the way back to rogers.

50
00:02:32,668 --> 00:02:34,628
Speaker 8: Early days in Green Bay.

51
00:02:34,948 --> 00:02:37,908
Speaker 9: His work with McCarthy helped him to develop into one

52
00:02:37,908 --> 00:02:40,828
Speaker 9: of the best players at his position of all time,

53
00:02:41,148 --> 00:02:44,548
Speaker 9: and the possibility of a reunion with the Steelers is

54
00:02:44,708 --> 00:02:46,708
Speaker 9: very much alive. The only caution I would give is,

55
00:02:46,748 --> 00:02:49,868
Speaker 9: this is Aaron Rodgers, only he ultimately knows what's going

56
00:02:49,908 --> 00:02:52,388
Speaker 9: on in his head and his heart and exactly what

57
00:02:52,428 --> 00:02:56,388
Speaker 9: this direction goes. Omar also reiterated something that I have

58
00:02:56,468 --> 00:02:58,308
Speaker 9: been saying, which is that it does not sound like

59
00:02:58,308 --> 00:03:00,228
Speaker 9: this is going to drag into the summer. It's not

60
00:03:00,268 --> 00:03:02,188
Speaker 9: going to go to June like it did a year ago.

61
00:03:02,548 --> 00:03:05,668
Speaker 9: Expect a decision from Rodgers quite likely before the new

62
00:03:05,748 --> 00:03:09,668
Speaker 9: league year begins on March eleven. Other decisions to be

63
00:03:09,788 --> 00:03:13,788
Speaker 9: made include one in Arizona with Kyler Murray. GM Moni

64
00:03:13,828 --> 00:03:16,868
Speaker 9: Austin fort was not revealing much of anything in terms

65
00:03:16,908 --> 00:03:21,028
Speaker 9: of his conversations with and about Kyler Murray, but here's

66
00:03:21,068 --> 00:03:24,628
Speaker 9: what we know. Kyler has nearly forty million dollars guaranteed

67
00:03:24,948 --> 00:03:28,908
Speaker 9: this season, another nearly twenty million dollars becomes fully guaranteed

68
00:03:29,268 --> 00:03:32,868
Speaker 9: if he's still on Arizona's roster on March fifteen. That

69
00:03:32,908 --> 00:03:35,708
Speaker 9: creates a soft deadline for the Cardinals to make a

70
00:03:35,748 --> 00:03:39,788
Speaker 9: decision either trade Kyler Murray if a trade is possible,

71
00:03:40,068 --> 00:03:43,148
Speaker 9: or potentially release him, pay that forty or so million

72
00:03:43,148 --> 00:03:45,908
Speaker 9: dollars that he's due this season, and then have Kyler

73
00:03:46,108 --> 00:03:48,748
Speaker 9: go to another team on a minimum type of contract.

74
00:03:48,748 --> 00:03:51,468
Speaker 9: There is a market out there for Kyler Murray. The

75
00:03:51,588 --> 00:03:53,828
Speaker 9: preference is clearly to trade him, get a new team

76
00:03:53,868 --> 00:03:56,588
Speaker 9: to eat at least some of that money. We'll see

77
00:03:56,588 --> 00:03:59,708
Speaker 9: how that develops over these next couple of weeks. Meanwhile,

78
00:03:59,748 --> 00:04:03,508
Speaker 9: according to Texans GM Nick Cassario, there are no developments

79
00:04:03,588 --> 00:04:06,468
Speaker 9: and no story to be ahead about his quarterback c J.

80
00:04:06,708 --> 00:04:07,148
Speaker 8: Stroud.

81
00:04:07,428 --> 00:04:11,548
Speaker 9: Casario talking about trade rumors, saying that they are moronic,

82
00:04:11,828 --> 00:04:14,348
Speaker 9: but Stroud is their quarterback and that he is not

83
00:04:14,788 --> 00:04:18,148
Speaker 9: going anywhere. The next question then becomes will the Texans

84
00:04:18,268 --> 00:04:21,268
Speaker 9: extend c J Stroud and back up those words with

85
00:04:21,348 --> 00:04:24,868
Speaker 9: a hard financial commitment. He is newly eligible for a

86
00:04:24,908 --> 00:04:27,828
Speaker 9: contract extension. Been to the playoffs all three years, won

87
00:04:27,868 --> 00:04:30,828
Speaker 9: a playoff game, all three years. The Texans want to

88
00:04:30,868 --> 00:04:34,388
Speaker 9: continue to take those next steps towards winning a Super Bowl.

89
00:04:34,508 --> 00:04:34,988
Speaker 10: If c. J.

90
00:04:35,108 --> 00:04:37,468
Speaker 9: Stroud is a part of it, you would think Sherry

91
00:04:37,588 --> 00:04:39,988
Speaker 9: sooner than later. They would like to lock him up

92
00:04:40,028 --> 00:04:40,788
Speaker 9: for the long haul.

93
00:04:40,908 --> 00:04:42,948
Speaker 2: Yeah, we definitely saw him have that success. He's a

94
00:04:42,988 --> 00:04:45,228
Speaker 2: young guy. Tom, we appreciate a lot of questions at

95
00:04:45,228 --> 00:04:47,868
Speaker 2: the quarterback position, but we cannot wait for the answers.

96
00:04:47,908 --> 00:04:50,228
Speaker 2: And Tom mentioned we heard a lot of different interviews

97
00:04:50,308 --> 00:04:53,268
Speaker 2: yesterday hours of sound, so it is time for.

98
00:04:53,268 --> 00:04:53,748
Speaker 3: A little game.

99
00:04:53,748 --> 00:04:56,788
Speaker 2: We're liking to call quotes on quotes on quotes, so

100
00:04:56,828 --> 00:04:58,948
Speaker 2: we're starting with Eagles wide out AJ Brown. He was

101
00:04:58,948 --> 00:05:03,268
Speaker 2: another hot topic of conversations during yesterday's combined pressers their

102
00:05:03,308 --> 00:05:06,388
Speaker 2: speculation of him being traded. The twenty eight year old

103
00:05:06,508 --> 00:05:10,308
Speaker 2: star well yesterday Howie Roseman and Nick Sirianni addressing the

104
00:05:10,388 --> 00:05:11,388
Speaker 2: issue with the media.

105
00:05:12,948 --> 00:05:15,388
Speaker 11: We're trying to get better and it's hard to do

106
00:05:15,428 --> 00:05:18,868
Speaker 11: that if you're just subtracting great players. We'll do whatever's

107
00:05:18,868 --> 00:05:20,868
Speaker 11: in the best cents of our team to be better

108
00:05:20,908 --> 00:05:25,348
Speaker 11: for this year and going forward. Anything that puts us

109
00:05:25,348 --> 00:05:29,308
Speaker 11: in position that we think to potentially win another championship,

110
00:05:29,388 --> 00:05:32,228
Speaker 11: So every decision we've made with that no matter who

111
00:05:32,268 --> 00:05:32,708
Speaker 11: the players.

112
00:05:33,348 --> 00:05:34,548
Speaker 12: At the end of the day, I love the man

113
00:05:34,628 --> 00:05:37,388
Speaker 12: and I love the relationship that we have, all the

114
00:05:37,428 --> 00:05:39,348
Speaker 12: things that he's done, all the ups and downs that

115
00:05:39,348 --> 00:05:43,708
Speaker 12: we've had throughout. Man, good player, good teammate, great person.

116
00:05:43,868 --> 00:05:47,108
Speaker 12: My expectation is that he wants to be here and

117
00:05:47,228 --> 00:05:49,948
Speaker 12: we want him here. And man again, like I said,

118
00:05:49,988 --> 00:05:51,908
Speaker 12: you know how, we said this in an interview not

119
00:05:52,028 --> 00:05:54,308
Speaker 12: too long ago, it's like it's hard to get good players.

120
00:05:54,628 --> 00:05:56,508
Speaker 12: We want as many good players as we possibly can

121
00:05:56,588 --> 00:05:59,148
Speaker 12: have on the team, especially a guy who's a teammate

122
00:05:59,148 --> 00:06:00,748
Speaker 12: and a person like Aj is.

123
00:06:02,628 --> 00:06:06,308
Speaker 2: So will AJ Brown be wearing an Eagle uniform at

124
00:06:06,308 --> 00:06:08,508
Speaker 2: the start of the twenty twenty six season is the question.

125
00:06:08,588 --> 00:06:11,428
Speaker 2: We have certainly seen him have success on the field,

126
00:06:11,428 --> 00:06:14,068
Speaker 2: but Mantai doesn't come with its own shares of drama.

127
00:06:15,708 --> 00:06:18,668
Speaker 2: The production has been in question. Are we seeing him

128
00:06:18,668 --> 00:06:20,628
Speaker 2: staying in failure? Do you think maybe he could be

129
00:06:20,708 --> 00:06:21,028
Speaker 2: on the move?

130
00:06:21,148 --> 00:06:24,148
Speaker 1: Well, I think that the production for AJ Brown isn't

131
00:06:24,188 --> 00:06:25,148
Speaker 1: just on AJ Brown.

132
00:06:25,428 --> 00:06:26,468
Speaker 6: Let's get that out of the way.

133
00:06:26,508 --> 00:06:28,668
Speaker 1: As a receiver, there are so many different factors and

134
00:06:28,748 --> 00:06:32,708
Speaker 1: variables that goes into the game that lead to your production.

135
00:06:32,868 --> 00:06:33,028
Speaker 6: Right.

136
00:06:33,068 --> 00:06:36,188
Speaker 1: So Number one is AJ Brown is a great player.

137
00:06:36,588 --> 00:06:38,668
Speaker 1: He's a phenomenal player, and if you're blessed to have

138
00:06:38,708 --> 00:06:41,588
Speaker 1: a player that has his types of abilities, that is

139
00:06:41,668 --> 00:06:44,468
Speaker 1: a great blessing. My question is, and how Roseman said this,

140
00:06:44,788 --> 00:06:47,508
Speaker 1: the hardest part is subtracting great players, and he is true.

141
00:06:47,508 --> 00:06:49,788
Speaker 1: When it comes to a J. Brown, my question is

142
00:06:49,788 --> 00:06:52,908
Speaker 1: is he a great teammate? That's another conversation. I can't

143
00:06:52,908 --> 00:06:55,428
Speaker 1: answer that question. I'm not in the locker room as

144
00:06:55,468 --> 00:06:57,788
Speaker 1: a Philadelphia Eagle, so I'm not even going to speculate

145
00:06:57,988 --> 00:07:01,388
Speaker 1: on a type of teammate that AJ Brown is. All

146
00:07:01,428 --> 00:07:03,748
Speaker 1: I can say is what you see on the sideline

147
00:07:04,548 --> 00:07:08,148
Speaker 1: showed some frustrations from AJ Brown wanting to be featured

148
00:07:08,188 --> 00:07:11,268
Speaker 1: more in that offense. My rebuttal to that is what

149
00:07:11,588 --> 00:07:14,628
Speaker 1: wide receiver doesn't want to be featured more in an offense.

150
00:07:14,708 --> 00:07:17,188
Speaker 1: So when you're going through this, if you're a Hoy Roseman,

151
00:07:17,188 --> 00:07:19,948
Speaker 1: if your Nick Seriani, you're looking at AJ Brown as.

152
00:07:19,788 --> 00:07:22,308
Speaker 6: The total package. As far as his.

153
00:07:22,268 --> 00:07:25,108
Speaker 1: Physical ability, it's just the ability to change the game

154
00:07:25,188 --> 00:07:28,188
Speaker 1: for you and your franchise. He has it. It's the

155
00:07:28,388 --> 00:07:31,628
Speaker 1: other things. It's the teammate, it's the distractions on the

156
00:07:31,668 --> 00:07:34,508
Speaker 1: sideline with the head coach and those interactions. That's the

157
00:07:34,548 --> 00:07:36,668
Speaker 1: stuff to me that's a little concerning Jalil so that

158
00:07:36,748 --> 00:07:38,388
Speaker 1: I'm sure they're taking that into consideration.

159
00:07:38,508 --> 00:07:39,548
Speaker 6: Yeah, man, tell your spot on.

160
00:07:39,708 --> 00:07:41,948
Speaker 5: When I look at AJ Brown, obviously he's a number

161
00:07:41,948 --> 00:07:43,948
Speaker 5: one receiver, right, and he wants the offense to run

162
00:07:43,948 --> 00:07:46,268
Speaker 5: through him. And you talked on it, like the Philadelphia

163
00:07:46,308 --> 00:07:49,348
Speaker 5: Eagles often struggled as a whole last season. But one

164
00:07:49,388 --> 00:07:53,268
Speaker 5: thing you cannot do right is voice or frustration over

165
00:07:53,308 --> 00:07:55,948
Speaker 5: and over week in and week out to the media

166
00:07:56,348 --> 00:07:59,228
Speaker 5: when you guys are winning football games. Still, yes, I

167
00:07:59,308 --> 00:08:01,268
Speaker 5: get it. The offense was struggling at the end of

168
00:08:01,308 --> 00:08:03,348
Speaker 5: the day. It's hard to win football games.

169
00:08:03,108 --> 00:08:06,628
Speaker 6: In the NFL. And what the Philadelphia Eagles were doing. Now,

170
00:08:06,668 --> 00:08:07,348
Speaker 6: when you look at.

171
00:08:07,228 --> 00:08:09,468
Speaker 5: A guy like Devonte Smith, who is just as more

172
00:08:09,508 --> 00:08:12,428
Speaker 5: explosive in my opinion, than AJ Brown, they're totally two

173
00:08:12,428 --> 00:08:13,188
Speaker 5: different receivers.

174
00:08:13,188 --> 00:08:13,668
Speaker 6: I get it.

175
00:08:13,868 --> 00:08:16,148
Speaker 5: But he goes about his business the right way, right,

176
00:08:16,468 --> 00:08:18,588
Speaker 5: he's a good teammate. Right, you don't hear him in

177
00:08:18,588 --> 00:08:20,988
Speaker 5: the media. He's not asking for the ball and he's

178
00:08:21,028 --> 00:08:24,348
Speaker 5: not complaining. Now, I've seen AJ Brown, Nick Sirianni, who

179
00:08:24,388 --> 00:08:27,308
Speaker 5: I know very well, have altercations on the sideline, and

180
00:08:27,388 --> 00:08:29,348
Speaker 5: you never ever want to see that from your quarterback,

181
00:08:29,468 --> 00:08:32,348
Speaker 5: excuse me, from your star war receiver and your head coach.

182
00:08:32,588 --> 00:08:34,868
Speaker 5: Will he be there next year? I don't think so, right.

183
00:08:34,908 --> 00:08:37,188
Speaker 5: I think that you can get draft capital for him.

184
00:08:37,188 --> 00:08:38,388
Speaker 6: I think you can trade.

185
00:08:38,068 --> 00:08:42,148
Speaker 5: For him and get some good free agent pickups. And

186
00:08:42,348 --> 00:08:45,068
Speaker 5: I just think that the best thing for both Eagles

187
00:08:45,068 --> 00:08:46,148
Speaker 5: and AJ Brown.

188
00:08:46,108 --> 00:08:49,948
Speaker 6: Is for them to go two separate ways. I completely agree.

189
00:08:50,228 --> 00:08:53,788
Speaker 10: I don't foresee AJ Brown being back in that locker room.

190
00:08:53,868 --> 00:08:54,308
Speaker 6: I just don't.

191
00:08:54,308 --> 00:08:56,308
Speaker 10: I don't care how dominant of a player he is.

192
00:08:56,588 --> 00:08:59,388
Speaker 10: I've played with some big personality receivers over the time,

193
00:08:59,508 --> 00:09:02,068
Speaker 10: to Randy Moss, some other guys that have been more

194
00:09:02,268 --> 00:09:05,428
Speaker 10: that have been outspoken about their satisfaction or a lack

195
00:09:05,468 --> 00:09:09,268
Speaker 10: thereof The reality is pressure burst pipes, and there's been

196
00:09:09,268 --> 00:09:11,788
Speaker 10: a lot of pressure building up between him and his

197
00:09:11,908 --> 00:09:14,948
Speaker 10: head coach, between him and his quarterback over the years,

198
00:09:14,948 --> 00:09:16,788
Speaker 10: and whether that's stayed in the locker room, some of

199
00:09:16,788 --> 00:09:18,948
Speaker 10: it has bubbled over to the media so that we

200
00:09:18,988 --> 00:09:21,628
Speaker 10: can see it right the sideline antics, whatever it might be.

201
00:09:21,668 --> 00:09:23,508
Speaker 6: So I'm again, like Hugh Mans, I'm not.

202
00:09:23,508 --> 00:09:25,788
Speaker 10: Going to pass judgment because I don't know what's actually

203
00:09:25,868 --> 00:09:27,628
Speaker 10: going on in that locker room. But we do know

204
00:09:27,668 --> 00:09:30,108
Speaker 10: that there has been some feathers that have been ruffled

205
00:09:30,308 --> 00:09:30,948
Speaker 10: over the years.

206
00:09:30,948 --> 00:09:32,188
Speaker 6: And whenever you have a coach.

207
00:09:31,988 --> 00:09:34,308
Speaker 10: Come on there, as Nick Sirianna has say, well, you know,

208
00:09:34,388 --> 00:09:37,908
Speaker 10: first off, I love the man. That's not the first

209
00:09:37,948 --> 00:09:39,548
Speaker 10: thing that's going to come out of my mouth if

210
00:09:39,548 --> 00:09:41,828
Speaker 10: I'm speaking about one of my premier players. So I

211
00:09:41,908 --> 00:09:45,028
Speaker 10: do believe that they appreciate him as a great player.

212
00:09:45,108 --> 00:09:47,628
Speaker 10: I think they admire him as a great player. I

213
00:09:47,668 --> 00:09:50,508
Speaker 10: don't think that he's I don't believe that he's a problem.

214
00:09:50,508 --> 00:09:52,708
Speaker 10: I don't know, but I do think that there is

215
00:09:52,748 --> 00:09:54,588
Speaker 10: tension between him and his head coach, and I believe

216
00:09:54,588 --> 00:09:55,668
Speaker 10: there's tension between him.

217
00:09:55,508 --> 00:09:56,268
Speaker 6: And his quarterback.

218
00:09:56,348 --> 00:09:58,268
Speaker 10: And when you have that going on, it's best just

219
00:09:58,268 --> 00:10:00,348
Speaker 10: to go your separate ways and move on with another option.

220
00:10:00,508 --> 00:10:03,548
Speaker 1: I think when you in response to the antics on

221
00:10:03,588 --> 00:10:06,468
Speaker 1: the sideline, anybody at home is wondering what it should

222
00:10:06,468 --> 00:10:08,428
Speaker 1: look like, or what we're saying it should look like.

223
00:10:08,828 --> 00:10:10,508
Speaker 6: Look no further than justin Jefferson.

224
00:10:10,508 --> 00:10:13,548
Speaker 1: If you want to see somebody who's had frustrations as

225
00:10:13,588 --> 00:10:16,628
Speaker 1: a star wide receiver in this league this year with

226
00:10:16,708 --> 00:10:19,708
Speaker 1: whatever was happening at a certain position, and how he

227
00:10:19,868 --> 00:10:24,188
Speaker 1: handled it, you never ever saw justin Jefferson's voice or

228
00:10:24,228 --> 00:10:27,708
Speaker 1: display his frustrations against his teammate, even though a lot

229
00:10:27,748 --> 00:10:29,148
Speaker 1: of us think that he had.

230
00:10:28,988 --> 00:10:29,588
Speaker 6: The reason to.

231
00:10:29,788 --> 00:10:32,268
Speaker 1: He just never would as a leader in that locker room,

232
00:10:32,308 --> 00:10:34,188
Speaker 1: as a great player and a great teammate. So again

233
00:10:34,388 --> 00:10:37,788
Speaker 1: to our points, we're not going to speculate about what

234
00:10:37,788 --> 00:10:42,428
Speaker 1: what aj Brown means as a teammate to the Philadelphia Eagles.

235
00:10:42,708 --> 00:10:45,948
Speaker 1: We're just saying there's two different same situation, two different

236
00:10:46,028 --> 00:10:46,988
Speaker 1: choices about how to handle it.

237
00:10:47,068 --> 00:10:49,428
Speaker 2: Yeah, leget a relationship there, the goods and the bads

238
00:10:49,428 --> 00:10:51,788
Speaker 2: that we might be bracing for this breakup.

239
00:10:52,068 --> 00:10:52,788
Speaker 3: Looking out of the.

240
00:10:52,788 --> 00:10:55,748
Speaker 2: Chief star Travis Kelce has yet to decide if.

241
00:10:55,588 --> 00:10:57,748
Speaker 3: He's going to return for a fourteenth season.

242
00:10:58,148 --> 00:11:00,708
Speaker 2: It's been speculated the thirty six year old is mulling

243
00:11:00,788 --> 00:11:04,588
Speaker 2: retirement after he finished his latest two year contract. The

244
00:11:04,668 --> 00:11:06,828
Speaker 2: Kelsey is going to be an unrestricted free agent when

245
00:11:06,828 --> 00:11:10,908
Speaker 2: the new league year begins yesterday. Chiefs GM Brettfeach address

246
00:11:10,908 --> 00:11:12,188
Speaker 2: seeing the topic with reporters.

247
00:11:14,108 --> 00:11:16,028
Speaker 13: Yeah, I think we've kind of taken a different approach

248
00:11:16,508 --> 00:11:19,628
Speaker 13: with Travis in the sense that I think, you know,

249
00:11:19,628 --> 00:11:22,908
Speaker 13: we've kind of prepared for either scenario. And Coach had

250
00:11:22,908 --> 00:11:25,908
Speaker 13: mentioned on Friday he's had great dialogue with Travis. On

251
00:11:25,988 --> 00:11:30,228
Speaker 13: our end, myself, curche Travis's crew, We've had some good

252
00:11:30,228 --> 00:11:33,748
Speaker 13: dialogue there and I'm sure we're going to see him

253
00:11:33,748 --> 00:11:36,868
Speaker 13: here just like we will all the other players agents,

254
00:11:36,868 --> 00:11:38,228
Speaker 13: and we'll continue that dialogue.

255
00:11:38,228 --> 00:11:40,428
Speaker 6: But Travis is the best, He's.

256
00:11:40,268 --> 00:11:42,548
Speaker 13: An icon and hopefully comes back and we'll just kind

257
00:11:42,588 --> 00:11:43,588
Speaker 13: of let that process play out.

258
00:11:43,788 --> 00:11:46,108
Speaker 2: He's gonna touch one of those anchors on this Chiefs

259
00:11:46,108 --> 00:11:46,908
Speaker 2: offense man tire.

260
00:11:46,948 --> 00:11:48,188
Speaker 3: Are they gonna shake it off?

261
00:11:48,388 --> 00:11:50,228
Speaker 2: Is he gonna kind of drop this sort of Taylor

262
00:11:50,268 --> 00:11:51,228
Speaker 2: swift Lyriic Carrier?

263
00:11:52,428 --> 00:11:53,268
Speaker 3: Is he gonna come back?

264
00:11:53,468 --> 00:11:55,828
Speaker 1: Well, I think that's the number one thing to understand

265
00:11:55,828 --> 00:11:57,988
Speaker 1: about Travis, and we all know this is Travis is

266
00:11:57,988 --> 00:11:59,748
Speaker 1: at the point in his career where he's playing for

267
00:11:59,788 --> 00:12:02,268
Speaker 1: the love of the game now, right Like Travis, as

268
00:12:02,268 --> 00:12:03,788
Speaker 1: far as all the things that you would want to

269
00:12:03,828 --> 00:12:08,668
Speaker 1: accomplish as a player financially, Travis has that Travis.

270
00:12:08,228 --> 00:12:10,548
Speaker 6: I mean, mister Veitch used to.

271
00:12:11,228 --> 00:12:13,868
Speaker 1: Term icon, right, He's one of those guys that he

272
00:12:13,908 --> 00:12:16,508
Speaker 1: can't go to Disneyland unless he has some security, whether

273
00:12:16,548 --> 00:12:19,548
Speaker 1: that's because of him or because of his partner. He's

274
00:12:19,588 --> 00:12:23,708
Speaker 1: attained certain status in this world, both in and outside

275
00:12:23,748 --> 00:12:26,308
Speaker 1: of football, where if you are Travis Kelce you do

276
00:12:26,388 --> 00:12:29,628
Speaker 1: have options. And so if you do see eighty seven

277
00:12:29,788 --> 00:12:32,708
Speaker 1: in the Chiefs Jersey, understand that he is coming back

278
00:12:32,708 --> 00:12:35,028
Speaker 1: because number one, he loves the game of football, Number

279
00:12:35,028 --> 00:12:37,668
Speaker 1: two he loves the Chiefs, and number three he hopes

280
00:12:37,708 --> 00:12:38,868
Speaker 1: to get another Super Bowl.

281
00:12:38,908 --> 00:12:40,268
Speaker 6: So whether he comes back.

282
00:12:40,188 --> 00:12:42,988
Speaker 1: Or not, Jaw, I think that it's always great when

283
00:12:42,988 --> 00:12:45,748
Speaker 1: you have eighty seven there, especially if you are Patrick

284
00:12:45,788 --> 00:12:48,668
Speaker 1: Mahomes and the Aco injury that he's coming off of

285
00:12:48,708 --> 00:12:49,708
Speaker 1: and being able.

286
00:12:49,548 --> 00:12:51,028
Speaker 6: To have that security blanket there.

287
00:12:52,108 --> 00:12:54,708
Speaker 1: I think that again, it's up to him and it

288
00:12:54,708 --> 00:12:56,468
Speaker 1: will be one of those moments you're like, man, it's

289
00:12:56,468 --> 00:12:57,428
Speaker 1: good to have eighty seven back.

290
00:12:57,788 --> 00:12:58,028
Speaker 11: Yeah.

291
00:12:58,548 --> 00:13:00,508
Speaker 5: You can't say whether or not he needs to retire

292
00:13:00,548 --> 00:13:03,068
Speaker 5: or not. Right, Obviously, he's done so many great things.

293
00:13:03,108 --> 00:13:05,428
Speaker 5: I've had battles with him in the right boy rivory

294
00:13:05,588 --> 00:13:08,508
Speaker 5: all the time, right, and he's a dog, right, obviously

295
00:13:10,628 --> 00:13:12,468
Speaker 5: talking that noise, and I was giving it right back

296
00:13:12,508 --> 00:13:14,788
Speaker 5: to him. There's the much respect for Travis Man and

297
00:13:14,828 --> 00:13:16,748
Speaker 5: what he does right. No matter what, I know his

298
00:13:17,108 --> 00:13:19,988
Speaker 5: play has aggressed right, but when he's on that field,

299
00:13:19,988 --> 00:13:21,668
Speaker 5: you have the game plan for him. You have to,

300
00:13:21,708 --> 00:13:23,548
Speaker 5: no matter what, you still know where got to know

301
00:13:23,588 --> 00:13:25,228
Speaker 5: where eighty seven is, where he's lined.

302
00:13:25,108 --> 00:13:25,988
Speaker 6: Up, where he's motioning.

303
00:13:26,348 --> 00:13:28,628
Speaker 5: And when you talk about just the Chiefs and how

304
00:13:28,628 --> 00:13:31,108
Speaker 5: they're handling this situation upmost respect, you see a lot

305
00:13:31,148 --> 00:13:34,228
Speaker 5: of different organizations who have goats such as him handle

306
00:13:34,268 --> 00:13:37,508
Speaker 5: it totally different right, release him, trade him. They're saying, hey, Travis,

307
00:13:37,668 --> 00:13:40,028
Speaker 5: we know where you are in your career. You know

308
00:13:40,108 --> 00:13:42,028
Speaker 5: that we want you. We're going to leave this in

309
00:13:42,068 --> 00:13:43,908
Speaker 5: your hands to make a decision that you want to

310
00:13:43,948 --> 00:13:46,508
Speaker 5: make right. And I think that's something that's really awesome

311
00:13:46,548 --> 00:13:49,188
Speaker 5: that this organization is doing, because so many times other

312
00:13:49,268 --> 00:13:50,908
Speaker 5: organizations in NFL don't do that.

313
00:13:51,428 --> 00:13:54,588
Speaker 10: I personally would love to see the band back together again.

314
00:13:54,828 --> 00:13:57,468
Speaker 10: I would love to see if Patrick mahomes healthy, Travis

315
00:13:57,548 --> 00:14:00,508
Speaker 10: Kelsey on the field. I would love to see Tyreek

316
00:14:00,588 --> 00:14:02,748
Speaker 10: Hill where you're work his way back and Eric Dean

317
00:14:02,828 --> 00:14:04,748
Speaker 10: to me and Andy Reid, I would love this that

318
00:14:04,868 --> 00:14:07,628
Speaker 10: one more time, but it's not for me. Right to

319
00:14:07,668 --> 00:14:09,188
Speaker 10: your point, Matsye, he has to do it for the

320
00:14:09,228 --> 00:14:12,108
Speaker 10: love of the game, and I think that most players

321
00:14:12,988 --> 00:14:15,308
Speaker 10: have to be able to wake up and love what

322
00:14:15,308 --> 00:14:18,108
Speaker 10: you're doing. And if he is in a position now

323
00:14:18,148 --> 00:14:21,068
Speaker 10: where he's waking up and questioning whether he wants to

324
00:14:21,108 --> 00:14:23,788
Speaker 10: go back to work, he's questioning whether or not he's

325
00:14:24,268 --> 00:14:26,828
Speaker 10: it actually feels like work. And if he's questioning whether

326
00:14:26,868 --> 00:14:28,148
Speaker 10: or not he wants to stay, you know, stay at

327
00:14:28,148 --> 00:14:30,388
Speaker 10: the crib, it spends some time with his lady, whatever

328
00:14:30,428 --> 00:14:32,948
Speaker 10: it may be, then it's probably time to shut it down.

329
00:14:33,068 --> 00:14:35,668
Speaker 10: And I think that they're giving him that respect, and

330
00:14:35,668 --> 00:14:38,548
Speaker 10: you hear it within the conversations around that organization. He'll

331
00:14:38,588 --> 00:14:40,788
Speaker 10: let us know right like we're giving him that grace,

332
00:14:40,788 --> 00:14:43,428
Speaker 10: we're giving him that space because he's do that to

333
00:14:43,508 --> 00:14:44,348
Speaker 10: let us know if.

334
00:14:44,188 --> 00:14:46,268
Speaker 6: This is something that he wants to do. Hey, listen,

335
00:14:46,348 --> 00:14:47,268
Speaker 6: you can always.

336
00:14:46,948 --> 00:14:48,828
Speaker 10: Come back to the crib, but I need you to

337
00:14:48,908 --> 00:14:50,228
Speaker 10: let me know whether or not you still love it

338
00:14:50,268 --> 00:14:50,988
Speaker 10: and you still want.

339
00:14:50,828 --> 00:14:51,188
Speaker 6: To do it.

340
00:14:51,308 --> 00:14:53,228
Speaker 2: And I think also it just shows so much respect.

341
00:14:53,268 --> 00:14:55,468
Speaker 2: And I wondered, Jalille to your point of how much

342
00:14:55,508 --> 00:14:58,108
Speaker 2: this will impact Kelsey's decision to come back, that they're

343
00:14:58,308 --> 00:15:01,388
Speaker 2: letting him make this decision as opposed to showing him

344
00:15:01,428 --> 00:15:04,308
Speaker 2: the door. But we know you've gone up against Kelsey. Meanti,

345
00:15:04,428 --> 00:15:05,068
Speaker 2: how hard is it?

346
00:15:07,508 --> 00:15:11,308
Speaker 6: Jillio knows this, like, oh yeah, oh, what's that a touchdown?

347
00:15:11,788 --> 00:15:15,228
Speaker 6: I wouldn't know that. I could let me tell you.

348
00:15:15,268 --> 00:15:16,788
Speaker 6: Let me tell you though, and Jillian knows this.

349
00:15:17,548 --> 00:15:20,588
Speaker 1: Travis Kelsey reminded me a lot of Antonio Gates. And

350
00:15:20,788 --> 00:15:22,948
Speaker 1: what I mean that is, Travis did this thing where

351
00:15:23,468 --> 00:15:26,388
Speaker 1: Travis would walk in his motions, he would walk across

352
00:15:26,428 --> 00:15:27,268
Speaker 1: the line of scrimmage.

353
00:15:27,268 --> 00:15:28,388
Speaker 6: Gates he did the same thing.

354
00:15:28,428 --> 00:15:30,268
Speaker 1: And while he was doing well he was walking across

355
00:15:30,268 --> 00:15:33,148
Speaker 1: the line of scrimmage is he was analyzing defenses.

356
00:15:33,268 --> 00:15:35,708
Speaker 6: He was seeing who's got me, who doesn't have me?

357
00:15:36,108 --> 00:15:39,508
Speaker 1: And that says a lot to Travis's just his the

358
00:15:39,588 --> 00:15:42,548
Speaker 1: mental preparation, how smart he is as a football player.

359
00:15:42,628 --> 00:15:44,988
Speaker 6: He knows where to go. Now Jalil does know this

360
00:15:45,068 --> 00:15:45,508
Speaker 6: as well.

361
00:15:45,748 --> 00:15:48,108
Speaker 1: Travis ran this route we called it over the ball

362
00:15:48,188 --> 00:15:51,108
Speaker 1: route where he literally spot up right over the ball

363
00:15:51,148 --> 00:15:53,308
Speaker 1: and he'll turn to Patrick Mahomes and you say, throw

364
00:15:53,348 --> 00:15:55,348
Speaker 1: me the ball. Do you know how hard it is

365
00:15:55,948 --> 00:15:59,508
Speaker 1: to break on a player when his back is to you.

366
00:15:59,508 --> 00:16:00,588
Speaker 6: You don't know whether he's.

367
00:16:00,428 --> 00:16:02,548
Speaker 1: Going to pivot to his left, pivot to his right.

368
00:16:02,948 --> 00:16:06,388
Speaker 1: Travis Kelsey had this for understanding what you were thinking,

369
00:16:06,388 --> 00:16:08,348
Speaker 1: and he would just do it as basketball move where

370
00:16:08,348 --> 00:16:10,228
Speaker 1: he just and he just for some.

371
00:16:10,468 --> 00:16:11,308
Speaker 6: Spin out of there.

372
00:16:11,588 --> 00:16:14,428
Speaker 1: I hated whenever Travis Kelcey would just spot up over.

373
00:16:14,308 --> 00:16:17,068
Speaker 6: The ball and then it's me and the other hook player.

374
00:16:17,188 --> 00:16:20,148
Speaker 6: We're like, make sure you've got your angle right, bro,

375
00:16:20,308 --> 00:16:22,508
Speaker 6: because eighty seven is about to slither out of there.

376
00:16:22,588 --> 00:16:24,708
Speaker 6: Because this guy's one of the best, so I've been.

377
00:16:25,068 --> 00:16:27,548
Speaker 6: I was very honored and blessed goal against somebody like that.

378
00:16:27,588 --> 00:16:29,948
Speaker 1: He did talk that talk. At the same time, when

379
00:16:29,948 --> 00:16:31,628
Speaker 1: you got him, he did say, hey, bro, you got

380
00:16:31,668 --> 00:16:34,388
Speaker 1: me too. So we had some good battles in the past.

381
00:16:34,428 --> 00:16:35,948
Speaker 3: The game is better with him in it.

382
00:16:36,068 --> 00:16:38,188
Speaker 2: He has three Super Bowls to his name already, but

383
00:16:38,548 --> 00:16:41,748
Speaker 2: as we see, he also can be very successful outside

384
00:16:41,748 --> 00:16:44,428
Speaker 2: of the game. The Chiefs will be in Indianapolis for

Speaker 1: if you was also trying off for the team or not,

420
00:18:23,628 --> 00:18:25,908

427
00:18:34,868 --> 00:18:36,148
Speaker 6: Well, t let's get straight to it.

428
00:18:36,228 --> 00:18:38,948
Speaker 1: Yesterday, news broke that Atlanta would be releasing Kirk Cousins

429
00:18:38,988 --> 00:18:41,268
Speaker 1: on March eleventh, when the new year began.

430
00:18:41,868 --> 00:18:44,028
Speaker 6: What were your thoughts when when you heard this decision.

431
00:18:44,828 --> 00:18:47,868
Speaker 15: Yeah, Atlanta has to make the right decisions for their

432
00:18:47,908 --> 00:18:50,148
Speaker 15: team moving forward, which they.

433
00:18:49,988 --> 00:18:52,548
Speaker 14: Did in this case. I have a lot of faith.

434
00:18:52,268 --> 00:18:55,348
Speaker 15: In my confident that he's going to come back stronger

435
00:18:55,388 --> 00:18:57,308
Speaker 15: and be a special player for a long time.

436
00:18:57,708 --> 00:18:58,268
Speaker 14: And that's it.

437
00:18:58,428 --> 00:19:00,788
Speaker 15: I believe Kirk can be an asset for another team.

438
00:19:01,108 --> 00:19:03,748
Speaker 15: A ton of respect for the way he handled himself

439
00:19:03,748 --> 00:19:07,268
Speaker 15: and a challenge situation when Mike got injured in Week eleven.

440
00:19:07,348 --> 00:19:10,268
Speaker 15: Kirk didn't blink the first game he's on the road,

441
00:19:10,308 --> 00:19:13,068
Speaker 15: first game he started against the Saints, hits Mooney down

442
00:19:13,108 --> 00:19:16,068
Speaker 15: the field on a big throw to win that game.

443
00:19:16,148 --> 00:19:18,988
Speaker 15: Throws for nearly four hundred yards against Tampa in Week fifteen.

444
00:19:19,788 --> 00:19:22,508
Speaker 15: We've finished with four straight wins down the stretch and

445
00:19:22,588 --> 00:19:23,628
Speaker 15: Kirk was a big part of that.

446
00:19:23,708 --> 00:19:25,228
Speaker 14: So really appreciate the.

447
00:19:25,148 --> 00:19:28,188
Speaker 15: Way he handled himself in Atlanta and definitely rooting for

448
00:19:28,268 --> 00:19:29,028
Speaker 15: him moving forward.

449
00:19:29,508 --> 00:19:31,948
Speaker 2: And the Falcons have been busy there announcing they're putting

450
00:19:31,988 --> 00:19:34,828
Speaker 2: the franchise tag on tight end Kyle Pitts, which I

451
00:19:34,868 --> 00:19:38,028
Speaker 2: want your thoughts and expectations of Kyle, But is that

452
00:19:38,068 --> 00:19:40,468
Speaker 2: a jersey of Pits we see right there behind your shoulder?

453
00:19:40,548 --> 00:19:44,028
Speaker 15: It is that since Kyle is jersey yep on this side?

454
00:19:44,228 --> 00:19:48,228
Speaker 15: Sure is Kyle. I love Kyle so much. He's a

455
00:19:48,228 --> 00:19:52,668
Speaker 15: special player. Lived a couple of houses down for me before.

456
00:19:52,788 --> 00:19:56,228
Speaker 15: But look, he had some challenges early in his career,

457
00:19:56,268 --> 00:20:00,108
Speaker 15: had a really good rookie year, then dealt with some adversity, had.

458
00:20:00,028 --> 00:20:00,748
Speaker 14: The knee injury.

459
00:20:00,988 --> 00:20:03,988
Speaker 15: Number of different quarterbacks, but he stayed resilient and a

460
00:20:03,988 --> 00:20:06,588
Speaker 15: lot of people we don't realize how much he competed

461
00:20:06,588 --> 00:20:08,748
Speaker 15: and how much he dealt with and kept fighting through it.

462
00:20:08,948 --> 00:20:11,308
Speaker 15: Another thing a lot of people don't realize is Kyle's

463
00:20:11,348 --> 00:20:13,268
Speaker 15: played in the league four years and he's only twenty

464
00:20:13,268 --> 00:20:15,388
Speaker 15: five years old. He came to the league so young

465
00:20:15,828 --> 00:20:18,428
Speaker 15: doing during this draft process, he was only twenty years old.

466
00:20:18,508 --> 00:20:21,548
Speaker 15: So he's a young kid. But loved him so much.

467
00:20:21,908 --> 00:20:23,948
Speaker 15: Had some did some really good things this year, had

468
00:20:23,948 --> 00:20:26,948
Speaker 15: the hat trick against Tampa, showed all that ability he has.

469
00:20:26,988 --> 00:20:28,828
Speaker 14: I think he has an arrow, pointing straight.

470
00:20:28,628 --> 00:20:31,228
Speaker 10: Up man, Terry. We got to talk about the Raiders.

471
00:20:31,228 --> 00:20:33,988
Speaker 10: They have so many storylines going on right now. Obviously

472
00:20:34,628 --> 00:20:37,188
Speaker 10: new coaches stepping into the fold. They have the number

473
00:20:37,188 --> 00:20:39,588
Speaker 10: one draft pick, they gonna trade Max Crosby.

474
00:20:39,628 --> 00:20:42,428
Speaker 6: Max Crosby didn't play the last two games. He was unhealthy.

475
00:20:42,428 --> 00:20:44,908
Speaker 6: He's healthy. What is going on down there? Man? And

476
00:20:44,948 --> 00:20:47,708
Speaker 6: what do you how do you assess the situation in Vegas?

477
00:20:48,068 --> 00:20:48,308
Speaker 11: Yeah?

478
00:20:48,548 --> 00:20:50,708
Speaker 15: I think looking at it from a Jenis perspective, I

479
00:20:50,708 --> 00:20:52,348
Speaker 15: think the Raiders in a great situation.

480
00:20:52,468 --> 00:20:55,988
Speaker 14: They need a quarterback and they got the number one pick.

481
00:20:56,028 --> 00:20:59,188
Speaker 15: With the quarterbacks staring right, Adam, the quarterback position is the.

482
00:20:59,148 --> 00:21:00,628
Speaker 14: Most important position.

483
00:21:00,308 --> 00:21:03,148
Speaker 15: In pro sports, period, and I would say the marriage

484
00:21:03,348 --> 00:21:05,948
Speaker 15: between the quarterback and the play caller is the most

485
00:21:05,948 --> 00:21:08,828
Speaker 15: important partnership in pro sports. I was blessed to be

486
00:21:08,868 --> 00:21:12,068
Speaker 15: in a building with Sean Payton Drew Brees for fifteen seasons,

487
00:21:12,108 --> 00:21:14,628
Speaker 15: got a lot of wins, a ton of playoff bonuses,

488
00:21:14,628 --> 00:21:16,708
Speaker 15: and even got a Super Bowl ring for that experience.

489
00:21:18,988 --> 00:21:22,548
Speaker 15: Vegas now has a chance to match Fernando Mendoza with

490
00:21:22,708 --> 00:21:26,588
Speaker 15: Clint Kobiak. That can set this organization up for success

491
00:21:26,588 --> 00:21:28,988
Speaker 15: for a long time. On the other hand, to your

492
00:21:29,028 --> 00:21:32,668
Speaker 15: point with the quarterback being the most important position in

493
00:21:32,748 --> 00:21:35,508
Speaker 15: pro sports, I would say the next most important is

494
00:21:35,588 --> 00:21:36,708
Speaker 15: quarterback disruptors.

495
00:21:36,988 --> 00:21:39,268
Speaker 14: In regards to the Max Crosby.

496
00:21:38,868 --> 00:21:42,348
Speaker 15: Trade rumors, I know John spy TeX's a smart guy.

497
00:21:42,908 --> 00:21:45,788
Speaker 15: Know that he knows players well and knows how important

498
00:21:45,828 --> 00:21:48,348
Speaker 15: that position is. I'm sure he's doing everything he can

499
00:21:48,788 --> 00:21:52,788
Speaker 15: to try to keep Max. That said, he's got again

500
00:21:52,828 --> 00:21:55,508
Speaker 15: from the GMC. He's got to listen to every offer

501
00:21:55,868 --> 00:21:58,148
Speaker 15: and ultimately do what's best for the team.

502
00:21:58,228 --> 00:21:59,548
Speaker 6: Terry, how you doing.

503
00:22:00,588 --> 00:22:02,028
Speaker 14: I'm not saying, man, how you doing?

504
00:22:02,068 --> 00:22:02,628
Speaker 6: It going.

505
00:22:02,628 --> 00:22:02,828
Speaker 14: Well.

506
00:22:02,868 --> 00:22:03,428
Speaker 6: Good to see you.

507
00:22:03,468 --> 00:22:06,388
Speaker 5: So your first and combine was twenty three years ago

508
00:22:06,748 --> 00:22:09,668
Speaker 5: with the New Orleans Saints, right, what do you remember

509
00:22:09,708 --> 00:22:12,468
Speaker 5: from those times and how have things changed since then?

510
00:22:12,708 --> 00:22:13,868
Speaker 14: It was two thousand and four.

511
00:22:14,028 --> 00:22:16,308
Speaker 15: I was a scouting assistant at the time. We drafted

512
00:22:16,308 --> 00:22:19,708
Speaker 15: Will Smith that year in the first round and I'm

513
00:22:19,788 --> 00:22:22,348
Speaker 15: just getting started. So I'm a gopher. I'm running around

514
00:22:22,428 --> 00:22:23,828
Speaker 15: getting coffee and donuts.

515
00:22:23,868 --> 00:22:25,748
Speaker 14: That was my job. I had to wake up at four.

516
00:22:25,588 --> 00:22:30,068
Speaker 15: Am to go and save seats so the personnel directors

517
00:22:30,068 --> 00:22:32,628
Speaker 15: could be on the front road to see the way ends.

518
00:22:32,708 --> 00:22:34,868
Speaker 15: And it was just an ego thing, but that's just

519
00:22:34,868 --> 00:22:35,988
Speaker 15: one of those things I had to do.

520
00:22:36,068 --> 00:22:37,588
Speaker 14: So I remember sitting in.

521
00:22:37,508 --> 00:22:40,708
Speaker 15: The stands at one point with one of the older

522
00:22:40,788 --> 00:22:44,628
Speaker 15: veteran scouts, Mike Faulkner, and he told me, he said, Terry,

523
00:22:44,668 --> 00:22:48,028
Speaker 15: one day they're gonna let fans come to.

524
00:22:48,028 --> 00:22:50,188
Speaker 14: This and hell, it might even be televised.

525
00:22:50,188 --> 00:22:53,228
Speaker 15: And so it's so funny how far it's come over

526
00:22:53,268 --> 00:22:55,988
Speaker 15: that time period, and yet it's still about the same thing.

527
00:22:56,028 --> 00:22:58,628
Speaker 15: It's about players that are putting their best foot forward,

528
00:22:58,828 --> 00:23:01,868
Speaker 15: working to realize the dream. So a lot's changed, but

529
00:23:02,188 --> 00:23:03,748
Speaker 15: it's the same same thing.

530
00:23:04,468 --> 00:23:06,628
Speaker 1: I got to ask you we are talking about the combine.

531
00:23:06,708 --> 00:23:10,508
Speaker 1: We discussed at the table earlier about the combine and

532
00:23:10,588 --> 00:23:13,388
Speaker 1: certain drills. As a general manager, as somebody who's been

533
00:23:13,388 --> 00:23:15,228
Speaker 1: in the front office for a number of years, is

534
00:23:15,268 --> 00:23:17,948
Speaker 1: there a certain drill that you look at that these

535
00:23:18,028 --> 00:23:20,908
Speaker 1: athletes do that you really hone in on because you

536
00:23:20,988 --> 00:23:23,748
Speaker 1: think that that would display the most out of their

537
00:23:23,788 --> 00:23:24,988
Speaker 1: capabilities than others.

538
00:23:25,548 --> 00:23:29,868
Speaker 15: And look, Matt Ti, really, honestly, everything matters regards to

539
00:23:29,908 --> 00:23:32,908
Speaker 15: the combine. There are certain things that you look at

540
00:23:32,948 --> 00:23:35,708
Speaker 15: for each position. Your analytics department is going to say

541
00:23:35,948 --> 00:23:38,548
Speaker 15: these are the specific drills that correlate to the success,

542
00:23:38,588 --> 00:23:42,548
Speaker 15: these are the drills that don't so but ultimately everything matters.

543
00:23:42,628 --> 00:23:44,428
Speaker 14: You know, this is a process of elimination.

544
00:23:44,548 --> 00:23:47,828
Speaker 15: You start off in the spring and you have a

545
00:23:47,948 --> 00:23:50,308
Speaker 15: huge pool of players, and then as you get into

546
00:23:50,308 --> 00:23:52,708
Speaker 15: the fall, the scouts are making their school calls, they're

547
00:23:52,708 --> 00:23:56,588
Speaker 15: pounding the sources for all the information. Get into the

548
00:23:56,668 --> 00:23:59,508
Speaker 15: off season, the All Star Games, the combine, the pro days.

549
00:23:59,748 --> 00:24:02,588
Speaker 14: You have to take advantage of every opportunity.

550
00:24:01,948 --> 00:24:05,108
Speaker 15: And every exposure to really look through these players and

551
00:24:05,148 --> 00:24:08,508
Speaker 15: figure out what's correlating to success. Because at the end

552
00:24:08,548 --> 00:24:11,268
Speaker 15: of the day, the sad truth is the hit rate

553
00:24:11,508 --> 00:24:13,908
Speaker 15: is low in the draft when you really look at it,

554
00:24:13,948 --> 00:24:16,308
Speaker 15: fifty percent of the first round isn't even going to

555
00:24:16,388 --> 00:24:19,308
Speaker 15: make it, and as you go through the draft, it's

556
00:24:19,388 --> 00:24:22,828
Speaker 15: going to consistently decrease. So it's hard to get in

557
00:24:22,868 --> 00:24:25,068
Speaker 15: the NFL and it's hard to stay in the NFL.

558
00:24:25,108 --> 00:24:26,748
Speaker 14: The average career is only three years.

559
00:24:27,028 --> 00:24:30,068
Speaker 15: So as scouts, our job is to be maniacal going

560
00:24:30,108 --> 00:24:33,828
Speaker 15: through that process and being very detailed and figuring out

561
00:24:34,148 --> 00:24:36,548
Speaker 15: how to really sort through these processes and getting that

562
00:24:36,628 --> 00:24:37,348
Speaker 15: cream in the rise.

563
00:24:37,668 --> 00:24:39,548
Speaker 6: Now, Terry, I got to ask you a follow up question.

564
00:24:39,668 --> 00:24:42,668
Speaker 1: You talk about something that correlates to success.

565
00:24:43,188 --> 00:24:44,268
Speaker 6: My fallow up is this.

566
00:24:44,388 --> 00:24:46,508
Speaker 1: Is there a drill that you would love to see

567
00:24:46,548 --> 00:24:50,428
Speaker 1: incorporated in the NFL Combine that you think will help

568
00:24:50,548 --> 00:24:52,228
Speaker 1: you evaluate these guys that.

569
00:24:52,188 --> 00:24:54,428
Speaker 6: Can help you correlate to success better.

570
00:24:54,868 --> 00:24:57,748
Speaker 15: It's hard because, honestly, you got to go back to

571
00:24:57,788 --> 00:25:01,068
Speaker 15: the Tapeman tie. I mean, it's so much it's about football,

572
00:25:01,348 --> 00:25:04,708
Speaker 15: and I do think that the combine and all the

573
00:25:04,748 --> 00:25:07,148
Speaker 15: officials do a good job, even at the Pro days,

574
00:25:07,588 --> 00:25:11,548
Speaker 15: of truly trying their best to make things football situations.

575
00:25:11,588 --> 00:25:14,188
Speaker 15: But you got to be careful, man, because you can

576
00:25:14,188 --> 00:25:17,428
Speaker 15: get really excited about a player because of a drill

577
00:25:17,468 --> 00:25:19,068
Speaker 15: or how they work out, or you can kill a

578
00:25:19,068 --> 00:25:21,508
Speaker 15: player for it too. But you look at a player

579
00:25:21,548 --> 00:25:25,028
Speaker 15: like Xavier Watts. He didn't do anything impressive during the offseason,

580
00:25:25,148 --> 00:25:27,788
Speaker 15: he was okay in the drills. Nothing stands out, but

581
00:25:27,828 --> 00:25:29,668
Speaker 15: that dude took the ball away at a high rate

582
00:25:29,908 --> 00:25:30,628
Speaker 15: at Notre Dame.

583
00:25:30,668 --> 00:25:33,468
Speaker 14: He's done the same thing in the NFL so far.

584
00:25:33,628 --> 00:25:36,188
Speaker 14: So there's always.

585
00:25:35,828 --> 00:25:37,988
Speaker 15: There's all these drills, all these things we try to do,

586
00:25:38,028 --> 00:25:39,708
Speaker 15: but you know what, man, it goes back to the

587
00:25:39,748 --> 00:25:42,228
Speaker 15: tape and you got to always make sure you're making

588
00:25:42,268 --> 00:25:43,948
Speaker 15: football decisions based off football.

589
00:25:44,188 --> 00:25:46,228
Speaker 6: I'm sorry, Terry, you said Xavier at Watson.

590
00:25:46,228 --> 00:25:48,908
Speaker 1: You mentioned the greatest university in the world, University of

591
00:25:48,948 --> 00:25:49,468
Speaker 1: Notre Dame.

592
00:25:49,548 --> 00:25:52,148
Speaker 6: This year, we do have another one that's coming up

593
00:25:52,188 --> 00:25:56,588
Speaker 6: in the pipeline with Jeremiah Love. You guys did draft.

594
00:25:56,348 --> 00:25:58,628
Speaker 1: A running back in the top ten. What is it

595
00:25:58,668 --> 00:26:01,588
Speaker 1: about Jeremiah Love's game that you like the most?

596
00:26:01,788 --> 00:26:05,108
Speaker 15: Yeah, definitely uncommon to draft a running back at that point.

597
00:26:05,788 --> 00:26:08,028
Speaker 15: When we look at Bijon and the reason we made

598
00:26:08,068 --> 00:26:10,108
Speaker 15: the decision to do that with Bejeon, because he's not

599
00:26:10,188 --> 00:26:13,348
Speaker 15: just a really good running back, he's a dynamic offensive

600
00:26:13,388 --> 00:26:15,948
Speaker 15: weapon and you get the ball in his hands in

601
00:26:16,028 --> 00:26:18,308
Speaker 15: any place, and he's going to be a difference maker.

602
00:26:18,388 --> 00:26:20,388
Speaker 15: And I would say the same thing with Jeremiah Love.

603
00:26:20,788 --> 00:26:23,348
Speaker 15: He's a dynamic weapon. He's a difference maker with the

604
00:26:23,348 --> 00:26:25,788
Speaker 15: ball in his hands, he's explosive. He can take it

605
00:26:25,828 --> 00:26:28,468
Speaker 15: to the house at any point, so he can make

606
00:26:28,508 --> 00:26:31,348
Speaker 15: those places as a receiver as well. And the other

607
00:26:31,428 --> 00:26:34,708
Speaker 15: cool thing is always see Bejon is just an unbelievable person.

608
00:26:34,748 --> 00:26:37,388
Speaker 15: I've never met anyone like him, so we always knew

609
00:26:37,388 --> 00:26:39,188
Speaker 15: that he was going to not only reach his potential,

610
00:26:39,228 --> 00:26:40,988
Speaker 15: but he was going to exceed it. And I'd say

611
00:26:40,988 --> 00:26:43,948
Speaker 15: the same thing about Love. He's a good young man, unselfish,

612
00:26:44,228 --> 00:26:46,788
Speaker 15: great teammate. You hear the stories about him getting close

613
00:26:46,828 --> 00:26:50,028
Speaker 15: to the goal line and wanting his other teammates to

614
00:26:50,068 --> 00:26:51,708
Speaker 15: also get the ball and get some scores.

615
00:26:51,788 --> 00:26:53,548
Speaker 14: So really good player.

616
00:26:53,668 --> 00:26:55,668
Speaker 15: And I guarantee there's going to be a number of

617
00:26:55,948 --> 00:26:58,788
Speaker 15: coordinators in that division wherever he gets drafted.

618
00:26:58,788 --> 00:26:59,828
Speaker 14: There losing sleep.

619
00:26:59,628 --> 00:27:01,428
Speaker 2: On that day, Terry, I got to sort of peel

620
00:27:01,428 --> 00:27:03,148
Speaker 2: back the curtain here for a second, you're talking about

621
00:27:03,228 --> 00:27:05,428
Speaker 2: Notre Dame and Jeremiah Love, than Manti is over here

622
00:27:05,428 --> 00:27:08,948
Speaker 2: next to me, just dancing the entire time. The stories

623
00:27:09,028 --> 00:27:11,788
Speaker 2: I wish we could ask you about about Manti, I

624
00:27:11,788 --> 00:27:13,908
Speaker 2: don't know if if we have enough time for all

625
00:27:13,948 --> 00:27:17,068
Speaker 2: the anti story in the commercial and the commercial chair,

626
00:27:17,148 --> 00:27:20,028
Speaker 2: I'll ask you. Another guy that we have loved to

627
00:27:20,068 --> 00:27:21,588
Speaker 2: see though, is Jamis Winston.

628
00:27:21,828 --> 00:27:24,068
Speaker 3: Back in twenty fifteen. You had an encounter with him.

629
00:27:24,788 --> 00:27:27,588
Speaker 2: We see him on this side from a media perspective,

630
00:27:27,628 --> 00:27:29,188
Speaker 2: he is absolute gold.

631
00:27:29,308 --> 00:27:30,708
Speaker 3: But tell us more about your interaction.

632
00:27:31,268 --> 00:27:34,388
Speaker 15: Yeah, you know, and when we're talking about the formal

633
00:27:34,428 --> 00:27:38,388
Speaker 15: interviews and how important those things are and everything that

634
00:27:38,468 --> 00:27:41,188
Speaker 15: these players are doing, it's all a part of the process,

635
00:27:41,228 --> 00:27:43,148
Speaker 15: and it's all important because this follows you through your

636
00:27:43,148 --> 00:27:43,628
Speaker 15: whole career.

637
00:27:43,788 --> 00:27:47,788
Speaker 14: So we're it's twenty fifteen, and.

638
00:27:47,348 --> 00:27:50,588
Speaker 15: The Jamis is always the first overall pick in twenty fifteen.

639
00:27:50,988 --> 00:27:53,308
Speaker 15: I'm in New Orleans at the time we interviewed him

640
00:27:53,308 --> 00:27:55,508
Speaker 15: at the Combine, and I remember the interview like it

641
00:27:55,588 --> 00:27:58,468
Speaker 15: was yesterday. He was honest, he was confident, he answered

642
00:27:58,468 --> 00:28:01,468
Speaker 15: the hard questions. You felt the charisma and natural leadership.

643
00:28:01,748 --> 00:28:04,348
Speaker 15: So now he becomes a free agent five years later,

644
00:28:04,628 --> 00:28:06,468
Speaker 15: and we decided to go after him. If he didn't

645
00:28:06,508 --> 00:28:10,228
Speaker 15: have a good exposure, maybe we don't, but that personality,

646
00:28:10,348 --> 00:28:12,588
Speaker 15: all those things that he is, we saw that back

647
00:28:12,628 --> 00:28:15,148
Speaker 15: in twenty fifteen, like a lot of people. Did you know,

648
00:28:15,188 --> 00:28:17,428
Speaker 15: a lot of teams met with Malik Willis when he

649
00:28:17,468 --> 00:28:21,148
Speaker 15: went to the combine, And those exposures really mean something

650
00:28:21,268 --> 00:28:23,588
Speaker 15: right now because those teams aren't going to be able

651
00:28:23,588 --> 00:28:25,588
Speaker 15: to meet with him as they get into free agency,

652
00:28:25,628 --> 00:28:27,708
Speaker 15: because when free agency starts, he's going to be signed

653
00:28:27,788 --> 00:28:30,548
Speaker 15: right away. So all these things happen when you're in

654
00:28:30,588 --> 00:28:33,308
Speaker 15: these formal meetings. When these players are in these formal interviews,

655
00:28:33,748 --> 00:28:37,108
Speaker 15: you're with the top decision makers, head coach, GM sometimes

656
00:28:37,108 --> 00:28:38,348
Speaker 15: even presidents and owners.

657
00:28:38,588 --> 00:28:40,988
Speaker 14: So don't waste that opportunity. Matt Tie, same thing.

658
00:28:41,028 --> 00:28:43,468
Speaker 15: We signed you as a free agent in twenty seventeen,

659
00:28:43,948 --> 00:28:47,828
Speaker 15: and you had really good exposures with us through the

660
00:28:47,988 --> 00:28:50,748
Speaker 15: entire process, Like there's a every player is getting a

661
00:28:50,788 --> 00:28:54,148
Speaker 15: file put together on them by every NFL team, So

662
00:28:54,268 --> 00:28:57,148
Speaker 15: don't miss those opportunities to take advantage of those exposures.

663
00:28:57,388 --> 00:29:00,428
Speaker 1: Well, Terry, talking about opportunities, it's been a great opportunity

664
00:29:00,508 --> 00:29:02,308
Speaker 1: for us to have you on our show. You had

665
00:29:02,348 --> 00:29:04,068
Speaker 1: a profound impact on my life and I know you

666
00:29:04,148 --> 00:29:06,788
Speaker 1: cook continue to have that impact wherever you go, whatever's

667
00:29:06,868 --> 00:29:07,348
Speaker 1: up next.

668
00:29:07,628 --> 00:29:09,388
Speaker 6: You are the best. Brother. Thanks for joining us and

Speaker 14: Yeah, I appreciate you, guys.

Speaker 1: Too, Team Man, we'll catch up some more, brother, take care, I.

673
00:29:20,148 --> 00:29:21,468
Speaker 3: See you there, Yeah, we will.

674
00:29:21,508 --> 00:29:24,308
Speaker 2: The Jaguars and Commanders will be the two participating teams

675
00:29:24,308 --> 00:29:27,988
Speaker 2: for the twenty twenty six NFL London Games, presented by NetApp.

676
00:29:28,268 --> 00:29:30,028
Speaker 3: The two games are scheduled to be played.

677
00:29:30,148 --> 00:29:33,148
Speaker 2: They're at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium, the home of the NFL

678
00:29:33,228 --> 00:29:35,508
Speaker 2: in the UK. The games in London will be a

679
00:29:35,508 --> 00:29:38,868
Speaker 2: part of an NFL record nine international games.

680
00:29:38,588 --> 00:29:39,548
Speaker 3: In twenty twenty six.

681
00:29:39,868 --> 00:29:43,548
Speaker 2: That is across four continents, seven countries.

682
00:29:43,308 --> 00:29:45,188
Speaker 3: And eight stadiums.

683
00:29:45,508 --> 00:29:48,948
Speaker 2: Pack your bags, but first we got to head back

684
00:29:48,988 --> 00:29:51,908
Speaker 2: out to Indianapolis for the NFL Scouting Combine and that

685
00:29:51,948 --> 00:29:55,108
Speaker 2: is where we find our insider, Tom Pelasero. Man, you

686
00:29:55,108 --> 00:29:57,788
Speaker 2: guys and all of our insiders have been logging a

687
00:29:57,828 --> 00:30:00,828
Speaker 2: lot of hours. We appreciate it. But Tom as we

688
00:30:00,868 --> 00:30:04,068
Speaker 2: get set to look at the next generation of NFL Stars,

689
00:30:04,468 --> 00:30:06,548
Speaker 2: there's a few vets that we need to be keeping

690
00:30:06,588 --> 00:30:07,108
Speaker 2: our eyes on.

691
00:30:07,588 --> 00:30:10,468
Speaker 9: Well, Erry, let's start out with Kirk Cousins. Falcons GM

692
00:30:10,548 --> 00:30:14,708
Speaker 9: Ian Cunningham confirming the inevitable on Tuesday when he spoke

693
00:30:14,748 --> 00:30:18,588
Speaker 9: to reporters, saying that Cousins will be released on March eleventh,

694
00:30:18,668 --> 00:30:21,188
Speaker 9: the first day of the new league year. This was

695
00:30:21,268 --> 00:30:24,548
Speaker 9: inevitable because your last guest, Terry Fontna, was part of

696
00:30:24,548 --> 00:30:27,988
Speaker 9: the prior regime. The restructured Cousins contract at the end

697
00:30:28,268 --> 00:30:32,308
Speaker 9: of last season, effectively forcing his release at a time

698
00:30:32,348 --> 00:30:35,148
Speaker 9: the Cousins is still due ten million dollars in twenty

699
00:30:35,228 --> 00:30:38,348
Speaker 9: twenty six, so for Cousins, he now gets a jumpstart

700
00:30:38,628 --> 00:30:41,508
Speaker 9: on free agency. Certainly did not sound from listening to

701
00:30:41,508 --> 00:30:44,508
Speaker 9: Cunningham like Cousins is an option to go back to Atlanta,

702
00:30:44,588 --> 00:30:47,148
Speaker 9: so they'll be looking for someone else to go compete

703
00:30:47,388 --> 00:30:50,908
Speaker 9: with Michael Pennix Junior. In other news, Jets GM Darren

704
00:30:50,948 --> 00:30:54,308
Speaker 9: Moujie also addressed reporters and said that if the team

705
00:30:54,348 --> 00:30:57,428
Speaker 9: cannot work out a long term deal with running back

706
00:30:57,468 --> 00:31:02,068
Speaker 9: Grease Hall prior to next Tuesday, then the team anticipates

707
00:31:02,188 --> 00:31:05,948
Speaker 9: using either the franchise or trail transition tag to keep

708
00:31:05,988 --> 00:31:09,188
Speaker 9: Haul in New York. Now that franchise tag is a

709
00:31:09,228 --> 00:31:12,428
Speaker 9: pretty significant number. The transition tag would be less but

710
00:31:12,468 --> 00:31:15,668
Speaker 9: does not guarantee the Jets any compensation if another team

711
00:31:15,708 --> 00:31:18,708
Speaker 9: signs Hall to a contract that the Jets.

712
00:31:18,428 --> 00:31:20,148
Speaker 8: Would choose not to match.

713
00:31:20,188 --> 00:31:20,388
Speaker 6: Moved.

714
00:31:20,428 --> 00:31:22,588
Speaker 9: You made very clear though, Hall very much in the

715
00:31:22,628 --> 00:31:26,188
Speaker 9: team's future plans. We'll see whether what direction that goes,

716
00:31:26,228 --> 00:31:28,908
Speaker 9: with the team still taking priority with trying to get

717
00:31:28,948 --> 00:31:31,468
Speaker 9: that long term deal done. As for forty nine Ers

718
00:31:31,508 --> 00:31:35,268
Speaker 9: wide receiver Brandon Ayuk, GM, John Lynch said that the

719
00:31:35,308 --> 00:31:38,228
Speaker 9: expectation is he will be released after the start of

720
00:31:38,268 --> 00:31:41,188
Speaker 9: the new league year on March eleventh. That delay, like

721
00:31:41,228 --> 00:31:43,388
Speaker 9: you see with a lot of these veteran releases, related

722
00:31:43,468 --> 00:31:47,268
Speaker 9: to how dead cap charges hit a team's salary cap,

723
00:31:47,628 --> 00:31:50,548
Speaker 9: not a surprise after Ayuk did not play at all

724
00:31:50,628 --> 00:31:54,228
Speaker 9: last season, suffered a devastating leg injury back in twenty

725
00:31:54,348 --> 00:31:57,228
Speaker 9: twenty four, appeared at times in twenty twenty five like

726
00:31:57,268 --> 00:31:59,708
Speaker 9: he was getting closer to being back on the field,

727
00:31:59,868 --> 00:32:03,268
Speaker 9: but never got there physically. Things went sideways with the team.

728
00:32:03,508 --> 00:32:06,708
Speaker 9: The team had stripped his guarantees last summer based upon

729
00:32:06,868 --> 00:32:10,228
Speaker 9: a variety of different issues. Lynch did leave open the

730
00:32:10,228 --> 00:32:12,788
Speaker 9: possibility that somebody might show an interest in au here

731
00:32:12,788 --> 00:32:15,348
Speaker 9: at the combine. Maybe they can work out a trade.

732
00:32:15,428 --> 00:32:19,748
Speaker 9: Given the contract, the injury, the overall situation, that is

733
00:32:19,908 --> 00:32:23,668
Speaker 9: hard to imagine. The question now, Sharey, is where, if anywhere,

734
00:32:23,788 --> 00:32:25,788
Speaker 9: Brandon Ayuk is played in twenty twenty six.

735
00:32:25,908 --> 00:32:27,988
Speaker 2: No, As you mentioned this week, all the football minds

736
00:32:28,028 --> 00:32:31,148
Speaker 2: are there having meetings. Maybe a deal or something can

737
00:32:31,188 --> 00:32:33,148
Speaker 2: get done in Niyuk finds a new home.

738
00:32:33,228 --> 00:32:36,228
Speaker 3: We appreciate all of that, Tom, thank you so much. Now,

739
00:32:36,268 --> 00:32:36,908
Speaker 3: the Cardinals have.
