I've been practicing that 0:05:33.640 --> 0:05:39.559 thing all day, O Joe Nwosu. But first, first, first thing. First, 0:05:39.600 --> 0:05:43.520 Bad Bunny, Bad damn. I guess people that many people 0:05:43.560 --> 0:05:47.440 didn't know boycotts. We pollt on show. Bad Bunny delivered 0:05:47.440 --> 0:05:50.359 the most watched Super Bowl halftime show at all time. 0:05:50.839 --> 0:05:55.159 The show drew one hundred and thirty five million viewers, 0:05:55.200 --> 0:06:00.560 surpassing Kendrick's record Rock Nation super Bowl viewership. Since he's 0:06:00.600 --> 0:06:03.320 taken over, I guess that's twenty twenty. He did one 0:06:03.400 --> 0:06:06.039 hundred and three million in twenty twenty ninety six point 0:06:06.080 --> 0:06:09.880 seventy twenty twenty one, one O three point four in 0:06:09.960 --> 0:06:13.600 twenty two one twenty one, Rihanna in twenty three, one, 0:06:13.720 --> 0:06:16.960 twenty three point four in twenty four, Kendrick did one, 0:06:17.080 --> 0:06:20.640 thirty three point five in twenty five, hand coming over 0:06:20.720 --> 0:06:25.280 the top by almost two million views. Bad buddy, body 0:06:25.440 --> 0:06:29.120 do go ahead, O Joe Hey. 0:06:29.160 --> 0:06:29.720 Well one thing. 0:06:29.760 --> 0:06:31.320 One thing I can say is a lot of people 0:06:31.360 --> 0:06:33.599 will complain and the percentage of people that didn't enjoy, 0:06:33.680 --> 0:06:36.120 the percentage of people that didn't like it, the percentage 0:06:36.160 --> 0:06:38.760 of people that were WI wrote I think pieces that 0:06:38.800 --> 0:06:42.279 had huge dialogues on theyir displeasure with a halftime show 0:06:42.320 --> 0:06:45.880 and complaining about oh it was in Spanish, I didn't 0:06:45.880 --> 0:06:47.719 know what was going on. It's a very small percentage. 0:06:48.040 --> 0:06:50.799 It's a very small percentage. What people have to understand 0:06:50.880 --> 0:06:53.000 is that the NFL listener is trying to grow. They're 0:06:53.000 --> 0:06:56.279 trying to grow a consumer market outside of Jesse, United 0:06:56.320 --> 0:06:56.680 States state. 0:06:56.800 --> 0:06:59.080 They want to grow globally. That is the only way 0:06:59.400 --> 0:06:59.920 growing Glow. 0:07:00.040 --> 0:07:05.080 Believe that you cantinue continue to push the boundaries include 0:07:05.240 --> 0:07:07.880 cultural diversity and I think they're doing a really good 0:07:07.920 --> 0:07:10.280 job at it. And if you think about it, we've 0:07:10.360 --> 0:07:15.120 given a different halftime performer almost to every different genre 0:07:15.120 --> 0:07:17.440 of music. So whatever you do at this point, I 0:07:17.440 --> 0:07:20.080 think people still will not be happy. They're gonna always 0:07:20.120 --> 0:07:22.720 complain about something. You will never be able to please everybody. 0:07:23.040 --> 0:07:25.360 So I like the direction that the NFL is going 0:07:25.440 --> 0:07:29.080 with the halftime shows and touching each in different genre 0:07:29.120 --> 0:07:32.520 of music and giving them their opportunity to have that 0:07:32.560 --> 0:07:32.920 big state. 0:07:33.040 --> 0:07:35.080 And I think his interview on Apple Music is the 0:07:35.120 --> 0:07:38.280 most watched interview on that format. 0:07:38.720 --> 0:07:40.920 I think he did. He's sixty eight million in county. 0:07:41.640 --> 0:07:43.680 But it's always funny the people that boycott, but they 0:07:43.680 --> 0:07:46.800 didn't tell nobody to boycott them when they perform. I 0:07:46.920 --> 0:07:48.360 know a guy to talking about he had his own 0:07:48.400 --> 0:07:51.600 thing at another venue, but did you remember when he 0:07:51.960 --> 0:07:55.480 ain't nobody boycott. We ain't gonna get into that old show. 0:07:55.560 --> 0:07:57.560 Let's not, let's not, let's not talk. 0:07:57.480 --> 0:08:00.880 About but yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah this at people and they. 0:08:00.880 --> 0:08:03.000 Were talking about we paid five thousand a ticket and 0:08:03.040 --> 0:08:05.840 we paid this and it's like, I come to see Benito. 0:08:06.400 --> 0:08:09.200 I ain't know they call him Benito. I ain't Benito Santiago. 0:08:09.800 --> 0:08:11.400 I didn't know. I didn't know that was that was 0:08:11.440 --> 0:08:14.040 his name. Bad money. But they're like, we come to 0:08:14.040 --> 0:08:16.280 see Benito and they started speaking Spanish and they were 0:08:16.320 --> 0:08:18.920 so excited. Yeah, they had on their team gear. They 0:08:18.920 --> 0:08:21.520 had on the Seahawks and they had on the Patriots. Somebody, 0:08:22.120 --> 0:08:24.440 I think I saw somebody. His team wasn't even many. 0:08:24.560 --> 0:08:26.920 He said, I came to see bad money. I came 0:08:27.040 --> 0:08:31.000 to see Benito. So right, right, at some point, I mean, 0:08:31.720 --> 0:08:35.200 you're not You're not gonna please everybody. When they had Kendrick, 0:08:35.559 --> 0:08:37.520 he wasn't brought him up. When they had Usher, he 0:08:37.600 --> 0:08:40.640 got old songs. When they had Rianna, well she showed 0:08:40.720 --> 0:08:45.240 up pregnant. They had Kendrickcuse me, we had Doctor Dre 0:08:45.400 --> 0:08:48.440 and Snoop and Mary Jay. You're not going to please 0:08:48.480 --> 0:08:51.560 when you got almost four hundred million people in the 0:08:51.720 --> 0:08:55.640 United States, You're going to offend someone. But you know why, 0:08:55.760 --> 0:08:59.840 because people are looking for reasons to get offended. Yes, 0:09:00.360 --> 0:09:04.400 I don't like apples, Okay, If I don't like apples, 0:09:04.400 --> 0:09:06.480 that'll just because I like something, that don't mean I 0:09:06.520 --> 0:09:09.120 hate something else. If you like oranges, that don't mean 0:09:09.160 --> 0:09:12.400 you hate apples and bananas, that means you like you 0:09:12.520 --> 0:09:13.160 like man gold. 0:09:13.240 --> 0:09:15.000 That don't mean you hate watermelon and honey. 0:09:15.120 --> 0:09:18.160 Dude. But people get so offended. They're looking for a 0:09:18.200 --> 0:09:20.959 reason to get offended. Oh, this is an American sport. 0:09:21.080 --> 0:09:27.800 This is okay broad and their risings. You like American food, 0:09:27.800 --> 0:09:30.080 but you'll be tearing up some Mexican food. You tamp 0:09:30.120 --> 0:09:33.920 Indian food, you tamp Jamaican food. Now y'all need to 0:09:33.920 --> 0:09:36.560 stop this and stop looking for reasons to get offended. 0:09:37.720 --> 0:09:39.280 Like I said, I ain't no one worried. 0:09:39.400 --> 0:09:41.120 I couldn't tell you what the song was, but I 0:09:41.240 --> 0:09:44.120 was grooving, and the Babel effects and the production was 0:09:44.320 --> 0:09:48.240 over the top, over the top. I love how you 0:09:48.280 --> 0:09:51.080 played to his Hairda Joe Jo. I love the guys 0:09:51.080 --> 0:09:53.439 playing dominoes.

Sometimes you go to the 0:10:07.160 --> 0:10:09.280 club ay, sometimes you go to the club bunk. You 0:10:09.280 --> 0:10:11.160 can't even hear what's being you can't even hear what's 0:10:11.200 --> 0:10:13.480 being played, But you become one with the music. 0:10:13.760 --> 0:10:14.520 It's easy to do. 0:10:14.600 --> 0:10:16.320 I think most of the people that work with planning 0:10:16.679 --> 0:10:19.800 saying oh, my goodness, I don't understand what he's saying. Okay, 0:10:19.840 --> 0:10:22.160 if you don't understand what he's saying, just go and 0:10:22.200 --> 0:10:22.880 flow with the beat. 0:10:23.160 --> 0:10:24.240 It's about having the rhythm. 0:10:24.400 --> 0:10:27.079 Maybe maybe ay, maybe you don't have rhythm. Maybe that's 0:10:27.120 --> 0:10:29.400 why they're mad, probably because if you got rhythm, all 0:10:29.440 --> 0:10:31.520 you do is you catch the beat and become one 0:10:31.559 --> 0:10:33.480 with the music and have fun. 0:10:33.600 --> 0:10:35.480 That kind of music, it's about a vibe. 0:10:35.640 --> 0:10:37.880 You don't need to understand when you travel to the 0:10:37.960 --> 0:10:40.440 dr when you travel to Spain, when you travel to 0:10:40.440 --> 0:10:42.679 Puerto Rico, when you travel to Brazil, you're not going 0:10:42.720 --> 0:10:45.040 to understand what they're saying. You're not going to understand 0:10:45.040 --> 0:10:47.720 the music, but you you're not understand the words, but 0:10:47.800 --> 0:10:51.040 you become one with the music depending on where you are. 0:10:52.000 --> 0:10:54.160 And people need to understand what the NFL is trying. 0:10:53.920 --> 0:10:59.880 To do globally, not just here. We wanted to be one. 0:10:59.679 --> 0:11:03.319 Of the best sports to watch outside of the US. 0:11:03.400 --> 0:11:06.880 And we're competing with soccer, which is number one outside of. 0:11:06.960 --> 0:11:08.600 Yeah, well soccer is the number one in the world 0:11:08.600 --> 0:11:11.560 because more the Europeans play it and more countries play it. 0:11:11.559 --> 0:11:15.240 That Yeah, African nations in European countries they play soccer. 0:11:16.360 --> 0:11:17.640 Really, they don't play a bear. 0:11:17.840 --> 0:11:20.280 And that's why basketball is so big globally because there's 0:11:20.559 --> 0:11:23.200 the Slovenians and the Serbians and they got so many 0:11:23.240 --> 0:11:25.760 different people. But when in football, every once in a while, 0:11:25.760 --> 0:11:28.000 low Joe, you'll get like the gentlemen we're gonna bring 0:11:28.040 --> 0:11:29.960 on tonight. We'll get a few here and there that 0:11:30.040 --> 0:11:33.080 come from Cameroon, ll come from Nigeria. Come from different countries, 0:11:33.280 --> 0:11:36.440 but not to the vast number that soccer, not to 0:11:36.520 --> 0:11:37.480 the vast number. 0:11:37.720 --> 0:11:39.480 That's why baseball they. 0:11:39.760 --> 0:11:42.200 Got the Puerto Ricans, and they got the Dominicans, and 0:11:42.200 --> 0:11:44.199 they got the you know, the Nicaraguans, and they got 0:11:44.240 --> 0:11:48.920 the Japanese, which show hey and these others. So in 0:11:48.960 --> 0:11:55.160 the Panslmania, I look, I've stopped. Look, I've stopped looking 0:11:55.200 --> 0:11:59.160 for things to get offended for. Unless you're speaking directly 0:11:59.240 --> 0:12:02.679 to me, I'm good. 0:12:03.200 --> 0:12:03.440 Yeah. 0:12:03.679 --> 0:12:06.240 I mean some people miserable. Yeah, there's nothing you can 0:12:06.320 --> 0:12:06.760 do about it. 0:12:06.760 --> 0:12:08.680 It's some people are miserable and you have to allow 0:12:08.720 --> 0:12:11.760 them to live their miserable lives where nothing anyone else 0:12:11.800 --> 0:12:13.640 does is going to make them happy. They're going to 0:12:13.679 --> 0:12:17.640 find something wrong. They're gonna nitpick at something, and it's unfortunate. 0:12:17.720 --> 0:12:19.720 That's some of the times that we're in. Now, we're 0:12:19.760 --> 0:12:22.080 in twenty twenty six. You know, when we talk about 0:12:24.000 --> 0:12:29.160 cultural diversity, I don't want happen. They don't want culture diversity. 0:12:28.520 --> 0:12:32.400 They don't want what they want. They want them to 0:12:32.480 --> 0:12:35.480 stay here. Everybody stay here. 0:12:36.280 --> 0:12:38.440 Yeah, and no one else gets opportunities. 0:12:37.920 --> 0:12:43.040 Should supersede yours? What I want to supersede yours. So 0:12:43.280 --> 0:12:47.360 it ain't no diversity. I mean, look, uh, and somehow 0:12:47.440 --> 0:12:50.000 if somebody gets a job, oh they are d d 0:12:50.120 --> 0:12:54.120 e I high.

I know something good. 0:13:40.920 --> 0:13:42.640 The nail and the hammer. How can they go back 0:13:42.640 --> 0:13:47.000 and forth? We know how it's gonna end. The tree 0:13:47.040 --> 0:13:53.520 will never have a great relationship with a Max. Okay, 0:13:54.200 --> 0:13:58.240 come on, we're gonna move it. But they don't y'all 0:13:58.240 --> 0:14:01.560 want y'all, how does the gazelle get down to have 0:14:01.600 --> 0:14:03.640 a conversation, down to have a conversation with the lion 0:14:04.240 --> 0:14:04.800 or the cheetah? 0:14:05.520 --> 0:14:15.439 How we should we should be able to sit down? Really? Okay, okay, okay. 0:14:14.960 --> 0:14:17.240 Boy, you just and you just pulled some gems out 0:14:17.280 --> 0:14:18.040 of no where. 0:14:18.120 --> 0:14:18.640 You hear me. 0:14:19.960 --> 0:14:21.920 Yeah, let me get let me get it, let me 0:14:21.920 --> 0:14:22.520 get a paid time. 0:14:22.600 --> 0:14:24.240 Yeah, we're gonna have a we're gonna have a real 0:14:24.320 --> 0:14:25.720 We're gonna have a real conversation. 0:14:41.480 --> 0:14:46.080 Wow. But they don't chant chant, they don't they know 0:14:46.160 --> 0:14:47.080 what's really going on. 0:14:49.400 --> 0:14:56.760 Oh my fits, I'm feeling good. 0:14:56.800 --> 0:14:58.320 I tell you, I got to tell you how to 0:14:59.000 --> 0:15:03.000 treat me, how to talk to me? Uh now I'm good. 0:15:03.320 --> 0:15:05.840 Last week, Jay Glaizer made it clear that Max Crosby 0:15:05.960 --> 0:15:09.200 is done with the Raiders now. Jason Lakin for reports 0:15:09.240 --> 0:15:13.240 that an unnamed general manager claims that Crosby has directly 0:15:13.240 --> 0:15:16.920 communicated his wishes to minority owner Tom Brady. He told 0:15:16.960 --> 0:15:19.320 Tom Brady he will never play for the Raiders again, 0:15:19.560 --> 0:15:22.840 the unnamed GM saying that's a fact. He told him 0:15:22.880 --> 0:15:26.160 he'll retire before he ever played for them again. But 0:15:26.280 --> 0:15:28.640 I'm not sure they're actually going to trade him. Miles 0:15:28.640 --> 0:15:31.000 Garrett said the same thing last year, and we know 0:15:31.080 --> 0:15:34.040 how that ended up. Oh Joe, how do you see 0:15:34.120 --> 0:15:35.760 this situation unfolding? 0:15:36.880 --> 0:15:37.560 Oh Man? 0:15:38.080 --> 0:15:41.120 Understanding what Max Crossey means to the Las Vegas Raiders, 0:15:41.160 --> 0:15:43.440 I'm not sure if thing can be rectified at this point. 0:15:44.000 --> 0:15:45.520 Most of the time, when the players get to this 0:15:45.600 --> 0:15:48.080 point like this, where he feels I really can't do 0:15:48.120 --> 0:15:50.680 it anymore, there might be something going on behind the 0:15:50.680 --> 0:15:52.960 scenes internally that we don't know about. 0:15:53.160 --> 0:15:54.600 It's specially for mac Crossey to get to. 0:15:54.600 --> 0:15:56.520 The point to where he is now to even let 0:15:56.720 --> 0:15:59.040 someone outside that building know that I will never play 0:15:59.040 --> 0:16:01.760 here again, especially if those words have been echoed to 0:16:01.840 --> 0:16:04.640 that of the greatest of all time, Tom Brady. He's 0:16:04.680 --> 0:16:07.240 not he's not really playing, especially similar like Mack Crosby, 0:16:07.240 --> 0:16:11.000 who wants an opportunity to win, and understanding that being 0:16:11.040 --> 0:16:13.760 at the Las Vegas Raiders he's not going to have 0:16:13.800 --> 0:16:16.360 an opportunity to win hoping for a move similar to 0:16:16.400 --> 0:16:19.040 that of Dexter Lawrence in general, where he can go 0:16:19.120 --> 0:16:21.440 to a contender and hope that things turn out or 0:16:21.480 --> 0:16:23.480 paning out the way they should, where he can contribute 0:16:23.560 --> 0:16:26.320 on his side of the ball on defense, he can 0:16:26.360 --> 0:16:28.400 be an asset to so many different teams that are 0:16:28.720 --> 0:16:31.680 a piece or two away for MAXI contending and have 0:16:31.720 --> 0:16:33.560 a chance of reaching that end goal out there. 0:16:33.600 --> 0:16:37.200 And what the difference is that the law was unrestricted 0:16:37.240 --> 0:16:39.800 free agent, so he chose where he wanted to go. 0:16:40.280 --> 0:16:43.440 Max Crosby unfortunately, is under contract for another three year, 0:16:43.560 --> 0:16:46.160 three four years, I'm not sure how long how long 0:16:46.640 --> 0:16:51.760 Chatty's contract is four, but he's not in that situation 0:16:52.160 --> 0:16:54.240 and so probably we're gonna want to get him out 0:16:54.280 --> 0:16:57.440 if they are to trade him. The conversations that they're 0:16:57.480 --> 0:16:59.080 having O Joe is that we want to get him 0:16:59.080 --> 0:17:01.320 out of the AFC and we want to get the 0:17:01.320 --> 0:17:03.600 most bang for our buck. Now, who's gonna give us 0:17:03.640 --> 0:17:04.720 the most compensation? 0:17:05.800 --> 0:17:06.000 Now? 0:17:06.160 --> 0:17:09.399 I understand that sometimes when you have a relationship, a 0:17:09.440 --> 0:17:12.239 good relationship with a team, they'll work to send you 0:17:12.280 --> 0:17:15.280 to a place, maybe to your heart desire, but I'm 0:17:15.280 --> 0:17:18.400 not so sure that's gonna be the case with this situation. 0:17:18.720 --> 0:17:21.480 He's one of your better players. He's if you know, 0:17:21.560 --> 0:17:24.600 I worked with Jason at CBS. Also he's made if 0:17:24.880 --> 0:17:27.399 that's true. And and and uh. Jay Glazer came on 0:17:27.480 --> 0:17:29.720 I Show last year and said last week it said 0:17:30.160 --> 0:17:34.480 Max was was was done with the Raiders, two guys 0:17:34.520 --> 0:17:36.880 I know pretty well. I know Jason a little better 0:17:36.920 --> 0:17:38.720 because I worked with him for a number of years. 0:17:39.600 --> 0:17:42.879 If that's the case, the likelihood of them working with 0:17:43.000 --> 0:17:46.960 him to send them to his ideal setting probably not 0:17:47.000 --> 0:17:47.480 gonna happen. 0:17:47.480 --> 0:17:50.359 O Joe. But I do se Scendario, they're gonna trade him. 0:17:50.359 --> 0:17:52.520 They're gonna put him in the NFC, because I ain't 0:17:52.560 --> 0:17:54.159 really try to see this man in the AFC, And 0:17:54.200 --> 0:17:56.160 I damn sure I'm not gonna trade it within my division. 0:17:56.480 --> 0:17:58.280 That's that's an absolute no. 0:17:58.400 --> 0:18:01.880 Note even though some teams, you know, Kansas City, would 0:18:01.920 --> 0:18:05.640 be more than glad to trade compensation to get him, 0:18:05.800 --> 0:18:08.119 But I don't see that happening. With that being said, 0:18:08.119 --> 0:18:13.760 Oh Joe, because he doesn't have he's not underrestricted, and 0:18:13.800 --> 0:18:15.760 he doesn't have a choice in the matter. 0:18:15.560 --> 0:18:19.240 Of where he goes. It's just hard. He has. 0:18:19.520 --> 0:18:23.240 He signed a three year, one hundred and sixty million 0:18:23.240 --> 0:18:29.600 dollars contract extensioned in March or twenty five, so he 0:18:29.640 --> 0:18:31.320 got some years on that contract, O Joe. 0:18:32.200 --> 0:18:32.760 So I don't. 0:18:33.080 --> 0:18:35.560 Yeah, I mean he does, but you have to you 0:18:35.560 --> 0:18:37.960 have to understand his value. You have to understand his value, 0:18:38.040 --> 0:18:40.360 especially with Kubia coming over and understanding that there are 0:18:40.400 --> 0:18:43.760 so many pieces, so many missing holes, so many questions 0:18:43.760 --> 0:18:46.439 that need answer on that Las Vegas Raiders team that 0:18:46.600 --> 0:18:49.159 I don't think he will have a problem understanding the 0:18:49.240 --> 0:18:53.359 value that is MATC Crosby and allowing him to go elsewhere. 0:18:53.000 --> 0:18:54.600 Even if it's to an AFC team. 0:18:54.960 --> 0:18:57.119 What pieces can I get for someone who is as 0:18:57.240 --> 0:19:00.600 valuable as him at the position and being to continue 0:19:00.600 --> 0:19:02.800 to build for the future. If I couldn't win with you, 0:19:03.640 --> 0:19:05.560 then I have no problem winning without you, And I 0:19:05.600 --> 0:19:06.320 don't get as much. 0:19:07.480 --> 0:19:12.040 I'll lose with you. I can lose without you. I 0:19:12.680 --> 0:19:14.439 get what you're saying, but I think the thing is 0:19:14.480 --> 0:19:18.560 normally teams that are most equipped to give up the 0:19:18.600 --> 0:19:21.359 most are teams, you know, and he doesn't want to 0:19:21.400 --> 0:19:24.199 go from a losing team to a losing situation. But 0:19:24.280 --> 0:19:26.720 I believe the Philadelphia Eagles will have something on the table. 0:19:28.560 --> 0:19:31.879 The Chicago Bears will put something on the table. I 0:19:31.920 --> 0:19:35.280 don't know if that. I don't know, considering that they 0:19:35.359 --> 0:19:38.360 just gave Aiden Hutchinson that deal, Jack Campbell's, I don't 0:19:38.359 --> 0:19:41.160 know if they got Jack Campbell done this last offseason 0:19:41.320 --> 0:19:43.520 or they're gonna get him done this offseason. Then you know, 0:19:43.520 --> 0:19:45.560 they got money tied up in Joseph, so they got 0:19:45.720 --> 0:19:50.920 and then you know, oh, Jamiir Gibbs is due a contract. 0:19:51.560 --> 0:19:53.240 You took care of Pina sul You took care of 0:19:53.320 --> 0:19:55.280 Jerry Goff, you took care of James. 0:19:55.520 --> 0:19:56.320 You took care of James. 0:19:57.560 --> 0:19:59.920 But I think me, I think the Bears. 0:20:00.080 --> 0:20:04.399 I think Philly uh would have no problem giving the 0:20:04.640 --> 0:20:07.960 first and the third and maybe a third next year 0:20:08.840 --> 0:20:11.240 because he's that good. He's a he's a he's a 0:20:11.320 --> 0:20:15.040 game altering player. And they don't come around Verry often. 0:20:15.280 --> 0:20:17.439 And I promise you there's no one in the draft 0:20:18.440 --> 0:20:19.720 that's as good as Max Crosby. 0:20:19.760 --> 0:20:20.680 And I don't know who they have. 0:20:20.840 --> 0:20:23.560 I don't know how high, who's rated where on the 0:20:23.560 --> 0:20:25.960 defensive side of football, But I guarantee you there's not 0:20:26.000 --> 0:20:27.800 a guy coming out in the draft that's better than 0:20:27.840 --> 0:20:30.280 Max Crosby will be next year in twenty. 0:20:30.040 --> 0:20:32.439 Six, not not even close. 0:20:32.640 --> 0:20:34.879 Come out of the draft, I mean, please, I mean 0:20:34.920 --> 0:20:36.560 no disrespect to those come out of the draft, but 0:20:36.640 --> 0:20:38.800 there is nothing like Mac Crosey based on the resume 0:20:38.880 --> 0:20:40.960 that you know done so far. 0:20:40.960 --> 0:20:43.000 And can you imagine Max Crosby with a star on 0:20:43.000 --> 0:20:43.439 his helmet? 0:20:43.800 --> 0:20:47.320 Oh my god, who can you imagine Max Crosby with 0:20:47.400 --> 0:20:48.760 a star on his helmet? 0:20:49.280 --> 0:20:49.480 No? 0:20:49.840 --> 0:20:53.880 I mean with him. I mean, he's a game change. 0:20:54.119 --> 0:20:57.520 He changes, He's gonna alter wherever defense he goes. And 0:20:57.560 --> 0:20:59.560 the more talent you have around him, the better he's 0:20:59.560 --> 0:21:02.560 gonna be. You put him in Philly, you put him 0:21:02.560 --> 0:21:05.040 in Chicago, or you put him on the Dallas. 0:21:06.119 --> 0:21:10.639 Uh the rape? Could the Raven put a package together 0:21:11.840 --> 0:21:12.000 or not? 0:21:12.160 --> 0:21:16.800 Now be talking because they need they need a game 0:21:16.880 --> 0:21:19.320 change and they haven't had a game change in a while. 0:21:20.600 --> 0:21:22.600 Hey listen, I know you haven't said it. And one thing, 0:21:22.640 --> 0:21:24.280 we haven't had either over there in the five to 0:21:24.280 --> 0:21:26.800 one to three over there in Cincinnati, yeah, right across 0:21:26.880 --> 0:21:28.520 right right on the river, we haven't. 0:21:28.280 --> 0:21:29.520 Had a game change. 0:21:29.280 --> 0:21:32.720 Do I see them having the money to be able 0:21:32.760 --> 0:21:35.879 to take care of matc crosby understanding how much we 0:21:35.960 --> 0:21:38.359 need on the defensive end as well. We need some 0:21:38.400 --> 0:21:41.119 pieces at one level. I mean either we gonna get 0:21:41.119 --> 0:21:42.800 one of the at the first level or the third level. 0:21:42.880 --> 0:21:44.760 Maybe at the second level, and the first level we 0:21:44.800 --> 0:21:47.919 need we need to impact players that could make a 0:21:47.920 --> 0:21:50.480 difference over there on our team as well. Now that 0:21:51.320 --> 0:21:53.280 the season is done, you can, and you can you 0:21:53.400 --> 0:21:55.840 kind of look at each team and you can see 0:21:55.840 --> 0:21:59.199 what teams need, you know, going forward, especially those that 0:21:59.240 --> 0:22:02.000 already have a quarter back in place to actually give 0:22:02.040 --> 0:22:04.480 you a chance. Most of the time those answers are 0:22:04.480 --> 0:22:08.280 going to be impact players on defense, mostly the officers line. 0:22:08.600 --> 0:22:11.360 If you already have a quarterback or impact. 0:22:10.960 --> 0:22:18.919 Receiver, Buffalo, can Buffalo put a package together. I'm just 0:22:19.000 --> 0:22:21.119 fair because I think the thing, oh Joe, at the 0:22:21.160 --> 0:22:23.200 end of the day, he wants to win. So who's 0:22:23.240 --> 0:22:26.159 close to winning, who has a quarterback? The situation at 0:22:26.240 --> 0:22:29.720 quarterback is stable enough, that's conducive, that gives them a 0:22:29.800 --> 0:22:34.840 chance to win seven twenty eight until his contracts up. 0:22:35.080 --> 0:22:37.080 You look at Philip obviously, they just won the Super 0:22:37.080 --> 0:22:40.359 Bowl last year, so they're equipped. You look at a 0:22:40.480 --> 0:22:43.600 Chicago got to the divisional round. This their young up 0:22:43.600 --> 0:22:46.080 and coming team. I think they're a piece away defensively. 0:22:47.480 --> 0:22:53.720 You mentioned the Cowboys, Buffalo quarterback situation, Cincinnati quarterback situation, 0:22:54.760 --> 0:22:56.320 Baltimore quarterback situation. 0:22:56.800 --> 0:22:58.040 So I think there are some. 0:22:58.080 --> 0:23:02.399 Places that that have a quarterback in place, have a 0:23:02.480 --> 0:23:07.440 team that he's gonna instantaneously make make that defense better. 0:23:07.640 --> 0:23:10.800 So just imagine where the team can play with the lead. 0:23:10.960 --> 0:23:13.719 So that's what was so impressive about Miles Garrett. There 0:23:13.720 --> 0:23:15.480 are very few times that his team had to lead. 0:23:15.640 --> 0:23:18.760 He got twenty three sacks and in eighty five percent 0:23:18.760 --> 0:23:20.440 of the time they were not time. 0:23:21.359 --> 0:23:22.920 Yeah, and he putting up numbers like that. 0:23:23.080 --> 0:23:26.040 They're losing by double digits and he's still getting three, 0:23:26.160 --> 0:23:29.840 four or five sacks in a game. So imagine if 0:23:29.840 --> 0:23:31.960 they got they're in a situation where they play with 0:23:32.040 --> 0:23:34.840 the lead and he can just go hunt the quarterback. 0:23:35.200 --> 0:23:37.159 Just go yeah. 0:23:37.160 --> 0:23:40.000 But definitely, Max Crosby is gonna make someone if they 0:23:40.040 --> 0:23:43.160 traded him. And we're speaking hypothetically because we've heard two 0:23:43.240 --> 0:23:47.000 inside of say that Max Crosby is not gonna be 0:23:47.040 --> 0:23:49.560 playing for the Ravers. We here Jason Luncambre says that 0:23:49.600 --> 0:23:51.920 he's talked to a general manager and that he's relayed 0:23:51.920 --> 0:23:55.840 this message to minority owner Tom Brady that I'm done 0:23:55.880 --> 0:23:58.960 with y'all. He didn't take kindly to being benched. Like 0:23:59.000 --> 0:24:00.680 I've been playing with this bang up me all year. 0:24:00.920 --> 0:24:04.000 Now all of a sudden, y'all want me to sit out. 0:24:04.680 --> 0:24:07.800 I can think from y'all for the next ten years. 0:24:08.359 --> 0:24:10.760 Yeah, I can think of something too. And obviously them 0:24:10.760 --> 0:24:13.720 continue them mentioning him might be a sign. It might 0:24:13.800 --> 0:24:16.439 be a sign to him. Listen, we don't want you 0:24:16.480 --> 0:24:18.439 to get hurt. We want you to want you to 0:24:18.440 --> 0:24:20.360 sit down. We want you to heal up, to make 0:24:20.400 --> 0:24:23.200 sure that trade value. We're gonna give you what you want. 0:24:23.320 --> 0:24:25.400 You requested it. We're gonna give you what you want. 0:24:25.680 --> 0:24:27.080 I want you stay out. I don't want you to 0:24:27.080 --> 0:24:27.639 get We don't. 0:24:27.480 --> 0:24:29.760 Want to get yourself hurt because we want to get 0:24:29.760 --> 0:24:31.239 as much as we can back for you. 0:24:32.720 --> 0:24:33.720 Don't worry about it. 0:24:34.119 --> 0:24:34.359 Yeah. 0:24:34.800 --> 0:24:39.200 Ooh, that's a good one. That's a good one, especially 0:24:39.200 --> 0:24:41.280 with the way they plan. Now they get that Ferrari 0:24:41.359 --> 0:24:43.720 coming out the garage after being down for a little 0:24:43.720 --> 0:24:45.920 bit with Trevor Lawrence playing. 0:24:46.119 --> 0:24:50.600 Really really good, really good football right now. I like that. 0:24:50.960 --> 0:24:54.840 I like that, especially on that defense. That's a good one. 0:24:55.600 --> 0:24:57.760 And so he's going to be looking to go. Like 0:24:57.800 --> 0:25:00.399 I said, he's probably gonna go to one of the 0:25:00.400 --> 0:25:03.040 teams that we mentioned. The question is who's just going 0:25:03.080 --> 0:25:05.480 to give us the most compensation because that's what they need. 0:25:05.880 --> 0:25:06.320 They need. 0:25:06.480 --> 0:25:09.320 They need draft picks, they need draft capital they need 0:25:09.359 --> 0:25:11.560 to build this team. You look at Seattle how they 0:25:11.600 --> 0:25:15.160 built their team a lot a lot of drafted players. Yeah, 0:25:15.320 --> 0:25:17.639 you gotta go get a Leonard Williams and yeah, you 0:25:17.680 --> 0:25:20.120 gotta get a d law to come over in free agency. 0:25:20.240 --> 0:25:23.480 But you drafted Spoon, you drafted Roland, Yeah, Julian Love 0:25:23.600 --> 0:25:27.040 came over in free agent free agency. You get lucky. 0:25:27.119 --> 0:25:30.560 You got really really lucky with Sam Darnold. Because normally 0:25:30.560 --> 0:25:32.480 the guys that win fourteen games, the other team is 0:25:32.520 --> 0:25:37.639 not letting them go. It's just not you drafted JSN. 0:25:37.960 --> 0:25:40.520 You look at the offensive line that they have, they 0:25:40.640 --> 0:25:46.520 drafted K nine. So sometimes you gotta be a little lucky. 0:25:46.800 --> 0:25:48.480 But I think the thing is that there are seven 0:25:48.560 --> 0:25:50.440 or eight teams out there that does have the draft 0:25:50.480 --> 0:25:53.480 capital to I think to appease the Raiders. And I 0:25:53.480 --> 0:25:55.800 think of a piece of Max Crosby as well, because 0:25:59.520 --> 0:26:02.000 I mean officials. For me, I do like when when 0:26:02.240 --> 0:26:04.679 great players get an opportunity to compete and see themselves, 0:26:04.680 --> 0:26:06.960 see them on the highest level, just like basketball players. 0:26:07.000 --> 0:26:11.159 I mean, uh, you want to see a Lebron, you 0:26:11.200 --> 0:26:13.960 want to see Kadi, You want to see Steph compete 0:26:14.080 --> 0:26:18.080 on the highest levels, not be fired and mediocrity. 0:26:19.200 --> 0:26:20.879 So mm hmmm. 0:26:21.680 --> 0:26:24.000 Or or or being too loyal to stay in one 0:26:24.000 --> 0:26:24.439 place for a. 0:26:24.440 --> 0:26:26.560 Very well, that was Kevin Garnet. He was loyal to 0:26:26.600 --> 0:26:28.280 the soul and then he realized that, man, I ain't 0:26:28.280 --> 0:26:29.480 winning nothing Dame. 0:26:29.560 --> 0:26:32.600 I think that happened to Dame game. Yeah, yeah, it's 0:26:32.600 --> 0:26:36.439 staying in Portland, you know, a little too long. So 0:26:37.240 --> 0:26:40.800 I think the Raiders. Look, they got the number one 0:26:40.800 --> 0:26:41.400 pick in the draft. 0:26:41.440 --> 0:26:41.800 Though Joe. 0:26:42.240 --> 0:26:44.240 Many believe they're gonna go for a quarterback. They believe 0:26:44.280 --> 0:26:48.320 it's gonna be Mendoza. It's hard to argue that. Like 0:26:48.359 --> 0:26:51.960 I said, I but they're not a handful of a 0:26:52.000 --> 0:26:54.840 but a handful of quarterbacks that's you know, I think 0:26:54.880 --> 0:26:58.879 that are game changers. But we'll see right, all right, 0:26:58.920 --> 0:27:01.080 we got a bad man, specially you guess joining us. 0:27:01.280 --> 0:27:05.119 He had a pick six, took it to the house. O, 0:27:05.320 --> 0:27:06.400 China wasn't a wo suit? 0:27:06.640 --> 0:27:11.480 Did I get it right? I've been trying to say 0:27:11.480 --> 0:27:13.720 this thing all because I'm like, hold on, I wonder 0:27:13.720 --> 0:27:15.560 at the end is silent? Did? 0:27:15.600 --> 0:27:17.040 I had to go back and listen to the I 0:27:17.040 --> 0:27:21.639 listened to the the TV copy when Mike Jurko on 0:27:21.680 --> 0:27:24.399 the call, but he said the first name, so damn fast. 0:27:24.400 --> 0:27:27.760 I'm like, well, damn, I get WOA suit. But what's 0:27:27.760 --> 0:27:30.200 the first name? So China was whoa? 0:27:30.880 --> 0:27:35.600 So hey, you won before? You won before? 0:27:35.640 --> 0:27:37.119 So I need to take this moment so I can 0:27:37.160 --> 0:27:39.240 get a better a better understanding what it feels like. 0:27:39.240 --> 0:27:40.960 Well, China, you finally won a super Bowl. 0:27:41.000 --> 0:27:42.840 Unk you won multiple super Bowls, so you know what 0:27:42.880 --> 0:27:46.720 that feeling is already like for You need to let 0:27:46.760 --> 0:27:49.840 me live vicariously through you and give me an explanation. 0:27:49.920 --> 0:27:52.080 We all come from different backgrounds, we all got to 0:27:52.119 --> 0:27:55.160 our end go in different ways.

The coaches have us wired in 0:28:48.880 --> 0:28:50.960 a way to where like every game is just like 0:28:51.000 --> 0:28:53.640 another game, right going out there and play it. That's 0:28:53.640 --> 0:28:55.560 truly how it felt like it was just another game 0:28:55.600 --> 0:28:58.800 to us, Like we expect to win, We expect to 0:28:58.800 --> 0:29:01.000 go into every match like you know, we're gonna dominate 0:29:01.040 --> 0:29:03.320 these guys, and you know it's all said and done. 0:29:03.320 --> 0:29:05.280 It's like okay, Like what's next you know, we got 0:29:05.320 --> 0:29:07.880 another game. That's just how it felt. But I'm sure 0:29:07.960 --> 0:29:13.560 like once I see that, yeah, different. But right now, 0:29:13.600 --> 0:29:14.760 I don't know. I just don't feel like how I 0:29:14.760 --> 0:29:15.480 thought I was feeling. 0:29:15.480 --> 0:29:16.080 I don't know, it's. 0:29:15.920 --> 0:29:17.080 Crazy, that's funny. 0:29:17.120 --> 0:29:18.560 I mean, you're not the first guy that I that 0:29:18.960 --> 0:29:21.000 I've heard say that. But I think the thing for 0:29:21.480 --> 0:29:25.400 me is that everything as an individual, like Okay, I 0:29:25.400 --> 0:29:26.880 want to make the Pro Bowl. Oh y'all want to 0:29:26.920 --> 0:29:28.440 lead the team, or I want to lead the league, 0:29:28.520 --> 0:29:30.200 or I want to be an All Pro. That's an 0:29:30.280 --> 0:29:34.160 individual goal, but only one team. You know, there are 0:29:34.200 --> 0:29:37.160 four guys that make the Pro Bowl for a wide receiver, 0:29:37.440 --> 0:29:39.720 there are three or three defensive linemen that make the 0:29:39.760 --> 0:29:41.920 Pro Bowl. As a d lineman, but that can only 0:29:41.960 --> 0:29:44.280 be one Super Bowl champ. That means for the year, 0:29:45.520 --> 0:29:48.240 you get the basket, all the glory. And you mentioned 0:29:48.240 --> 0:29:50.040 you said something very interesting, you like, the coach has 0:29:50.160 --> 0:29:53.120 us wired that we take one game at a time, and. 0:29:53.520 --> 0:29:56.480 You're like, okay, what's next. But this was the culm nation. 0:29:56.840 --> 0:30:00.360 So going into the week you're like, okay, you watching 0:30:00.440 --> 0:30:02.200 them on tape because the difference is like you know, 0:30:02.240 --> 0:30:04.400 you play a regular season game, you watch four games, 0:30:04.400 --> 0:30:06.640 you watch the last four games then he played. But 0:30:06.720 --> 0:30:09.320 when you watch this team, you watch everything, you go 0:30:09.400 --> 0:30:12.120 back from week one, you go to the playoffs. They 0:30:12.240 --> 0:30:16.160 sprinkled a little preseason in there, and so you guys 0:30:16.200 --> 0:30:19.960 were locked in from the jump. I mean, yeah, I'm 0:30:19.960 --> 0:30:22.520 gonna throw that last quarter out because y'all was and y'all, 0:30:22.600 --> 0:30:25.440 y'all like, okay, let's not get regulars to do anything 0:30:25.520 --> 0:30:27.320 like that. And they got some the cheap yardist. He 0:30:27.400 --> 0:30:29.280 threw for the most yards of the single quarter and 0:30:29.360 --> 0:30:31.000 anybody in the history of the game. And the game 0:30:31.120 --> 0:30:33.920 was a blowout. So why how were you guys so 0:30:34.040 --> 0:30:36.719 able to get locked in and just basically have a 0:30:36.760 --> 0:30:38.320 bead on everything they were doing? 0:30:40.240 --> 0:30:42.760 Man, shout out to coach Mike Man. He's like a 0:30:42.760 --> 0:30:44.560 nerd when it comes to this football stuff. Man, he's 0:30:44.600 --> 0:30:47.320 in the lab, man studying hard. He's making sure we're 0:30:47.360 --> 0:30:48.800 in the right you know, the right calls. 0:30:48.840 --> 0:30:49.480 He's preparing. 0:30:49.800 --> 0:30:52.240 He's got an assistant coaches, you know, making sure we 0:30:52.320 --> 0:30:54.520 know what's going on. We're on the game plan. We 0:30:54.560 --> 0:30:56.520 study and every day we watching films. We have about 0:30:56.560 --> 0:30:59.160 two three four menutes a day were just so locked in. 0:30:59.200 --> 0:31:02.080 We just communicat we're talking and just the overall, just 0:31:02.160 --> 0:31:04.320 the whole team is just buying into what was going on. 0:31:04.720 --> 0:31:06.760 We realized what was that stake. It was a super Bowl, 0:31:06.920 --> 0:31:08.800 so everybody else was locked in. Man, we just had 0:31:09.080 --> 0:31:10.960 one mission and one goal over you accomplished it. 0:31:11.440 --> 0:31:14.520 Yeah, hey, with with that goal to accomplish, did you 0:31:14.600 --> 0:31:18.000 expect to dominate the game the way you dominated it defensively? 0:31:18.120 --> 0:31:21.080 Because defensively, you guys won that game obviously offensive Kenneth 0:31:21.120 --> 0:31:23.400 Walker keeping that balance when you need to throw you through. 0:31:23.560 --> 0:31:25.720 But because you ran the ball so well, simply you 0:31:25.720 --> 0:31:28.640 were able to control most of the game defensively. You watch, 0:31:28.720 --> 0:31:31.160 obviously you're going in what you watch film, You see 0:31:31.160 --> 0:31:32.600 how the pagers look you so how they look in 0:31:32.640 --> 0:31:34.440 the playoffs, You see how they looked in the regular season, 0:31:34.760 --> 0:31:36.760 and you take bits and pieces of what you're going 0:31:36.840 --> 0:31:39.960 to get based on their tendencies. Dude, bro, you dominate 0:31:40.000 --> 0:31:41.640 the whole game to the point where some people are 0:31:41.640 --> 0:31:44.560 saying the game was a snooze fast not understanding, No, this. 0:31:44.560 --> 0:31:47.680 Is this is a defensive game. The defense control of 0:31:47.680 --> 0:31:48.000 the game. 0:31:48.640 --> 0:31:50.280 Yeah, they got a great defense over there. They got 0:31:50.320 --> 0:31:53.280 a lot of players over there, their their dB number zero. 0:31:53.320 --> 0:31:57.640 He was playing phenomenal. Milton Williams. They made plays, number 0:31:57.640 --> 0:32:01.160 thirty three, he made plays. They was just making plays. 0:32:01.840 --> 0:32:03.640 But we knew, we kind of knew going into this 0:32:03.680 --> 0:32:05.520 week that you know, we wanted to show that he 0:32:05.600 --> 0:32:07.400 was gonna be the best defense in the world, which 0:32:07.400 --> 0:32:09.400 we did, and we had our mindset made up that 0:32:09.400 --> 0:32:11.640 we're not gonna let these guys come out here and uh, 0:32:11.720 --> 0:32:13.400 you know, do what they did to all these other teams. 0:32:13.400 --> 0:32:16.440 We know, get after Drake, may we kill their enery, 0:32:16.480 --> 0:32:19.040 which is him. They got nothing left, and we made 0:32:19.040 --> 0:32:19.920 sure we made that happen. 0:32:20.000 --> 0:32:21.840 When I look at you guys on defensive, you're not 0:32:21.920 --> 0:32:25.600 that complex. Y'all play except y'all play quarters coverage. You'll 0:32:25.640 --> 0:32:28.560 keep the safety back and y'all you say you're not 0:32:28.640 --> 0:32:31.200 running the football, and so we won't have to drop 0:32:31.200 --> 0:32:34.080 a safety down because when I look, yeah, you show 0:32:34.200 --> 0:32:36.680 something now, y'all brought a lot of slot blissed Spoon. 0:32:37.040 --> 0:32:38.480 You normally see Spoon covering. 0:32:39.160 --> 0:32:42.720 Y'all saw something on tape because y'all brought Spoon a 0:32:42.720 --> 0:32:44.840 little bit more than I'm used to seeing him now. 0:32:45.360 --> 0:32:46.880 Normally that's a warring. 0:32:47.200 --> 0:32:50.440 He normally comes on, but this time he was back 0:32:50.680 --> 0:32:53.200 and Spoon was coming. What did y'all see the like, 0:32:53.240 --> 0:32:56.040 you know what, we can catch him with the slot. 0:32:56.760 --> 0:32:58.080 Yeah, you just gotta switch it up. 0:32:58.080 --> 0:32:59.600 You know, I'm sure they go back and they do 0:32:59.640 --> 0:33:01.840 their Stufuddy, they see we bring Nick a lot with 0:33:01.880 --> 0:33:04.040 a lot of pressures. So Mike said, you know, guess what, 0:33:04.040 --> 0:33:07.080 We're gonna bring spoon and spoons a great blissed quick. 0:33:09.280 --> 0:33:11.440 Spoon is fast man. He can make lineman mens. He 0:33:11.440 --> 0:33:13.959 can you then he can just get to the quarterback 0:33:14.000 --> 0:33:15.640 and hurry the same thing with Nick. And so Mike 0:33:15.720 --> 0:33:18.000 just saw that he switched it up. Nick's a great blitzer, 0:33:18.080 --> 0:33:20.400 but you know, we switch it up with the spoon, 0:33:20.440 --> 0:33:21.280 and he made play time. 0:33:21.440 --> 0:33:23.920 He tied those blitz's perfect because when you go, I 0:33:23.960 --> 0:33:25.920 mean he hit it on a dead run. Every time 0:33:25.920 --> 0:33:28.360 when they snapped the ball, he was on a dead run. 0:33:28.640 --> 0:33:31.120 And it's hard because, like you said, they so small. 0:33:31.160 --> 0:33:34.760 Big lineman used to blocking guys like your feel And 0:33:34.880 --> 0:33:36.480 so when you get on dB and he doing all 0:33:36.520 --> 0:33:38.680 this right here, they got no chance. 0:33:38.920 --> 0:33:40.280 They got no chance. 0:33:40.600 --> 0:33:45.920 So hey, hey, one thing I want to say, did 0:33:46.040 --> 0:33:49.440 coach without you being disrespectful to your opponents, did coach? 0:33:49.520 --> 0:33:51.120 Most of the time you going to a gay plank. 0:33:51.480 --> 0:33:53.520 The game plan you going to a game most of 0:33:53.520 --> 0:33:55.880 the time, you want to recognize who the fish is 0:33:56.040 --> 0:33:57.880 and you draw a circle around. 0:33:57.560 --> 0:33:59.600 The fish's head. The fish is the week league. 0:33:59.640 --> 0:34:01.960 Obviously you have five people in the offensive line, but there's 0:34:01.960 --> 0:34:04.400 always one week link. Based on the game we saw 0:34:04.680 --> 0:34:08.000 it was three fish and it started from the center 0:34:08.080 --> 0:34:09.960 going all the way to the left. Was it was 0:34:10.000 --> 0:34:12.080 that address before the game started, based on what you 0:34:12.120 --> 0:34:13.959 saw from their office line played throughout the week. 0:34:14.400 --> 0:34:16.520 Absolutely, but instead of fish we call it. 0:34:17.600 --> 0:34:20.759 We call it so we knew from the center all 0:34:20.800 --> 0:34:22.960 the way to the to the their left. All right, 0:34:23.320 --> 0:34:26.200 the two rookies we gotta we gotta take advantage of right, Okay, 0:34:26.320 --> 0:34:28.480 you're down the road, they'll be you know, good players 0:34:28.520 --> 0:34:31.000 will developed. But going into this game, we couldn't let 0:34:31.000 --> 0:34:31.719 that slide. 0:34:31.360 --> 0:34:32.919 We get and the thing when you get a push, 0:34:32.960 --> 0:34:35.319 you don't let him off the hook. And I saw 0:34:35.360 --> 0:34:37.600 because they ended up putting d law d Laud. Normally 0:34:37.960 --> 0:34:41.720 Russians on the office offensive right side the defensive left 0:34:41.719 --> 0:34:43.520 side there like d lost and let me get some 0:34:43.719 --> 0:34:45.279 of this man, y'all over there. 0:34:45.719 --> 0:34:48.400 Don't even bite me, a young fellow. 0:34:50.200 --> 0:34:54.160 But when Spoon came on that blitz and you were 0:34:54.200 --> 0:34:57.040 right there because they made the mistakes because Spoon got 0:34:57.080 --> 0:34:59.680 through the guy block, you is Spoon just closed so 0:34:59.760 --> 0:35:02.239 quick because he was getting ready to throw, and you 0:35:02.280 --> 0:35:04.880 were Johnny on the spot. So when you see Spood 0:35:04.960 --> 0:35:07.200 hit his arm and the balls up in there, what's 0:35:07.200 --> 0:35:08.040 going through your mind? 0:35:09.920 --> 0:35:10.120 Man? 0:35:10.160 --> 0:35:12.560 I just just reacting. Honestly, I didn't even think. I 0:35:12.640 --> 0:35:14.920 just caught the ball and just took off running. Look 0:35:15.040 --> 0:35:16.839 left and right. Hope I ain't get caught on dB. 0:35:18.760 --> 0:35:19.319 All was good. 0:35:19.560 --> 0:35:20.319 I was out of there. 0:35:20.880 --> 0:35:24.160 Yeah, I mean you gotta think like he did it 0:35:24.239 --> 0:35:25.160 feel like you was running it? 0:35:25.239 --> 0:35:26.400 I was gonna say, did it feel like he was 0:35:26.480 --> 0:35:28.399 running this little motion like you're running a quick saying 0:35:28.560 --> 0:35:30.359 even though nobody was around you. 0:35:30.440 --> 0:35:32.520 Yeah, it's weird because that was my first time like 0:35:32.600 --> 0:35:34.920 being in that position, like catching it like you received right, 0:35:35.040 --> 0:35:37.720 you gotta do it all the time. But me, I'm like, oh, okay, 0:35:37.800 --> 0:35:40.600 this is how it is. I'm just going ahead and 0:35:40.800 --> 0:35:43.080 not fall front out of bounds. Let me not do 0:35:43.160 --> 0:35:45.360 something you ain't have no celebration set up you. I 0:35:45.360 --> 0:35:46.560 mean you got to have a celebration. 0:35:46.719 --> 0:35:49.160 Like, man, if I get a scooping score, I get 0:35:49.160 --> 0:35:52.360 a pick six, I get something, I gotta do something. 0:35:52.400 --> 0:35:56.440 You ain't have nothing playing or being from Los Angeles, 0:35:56.440 --> 0:35:58.480 I usually hit my squabble. I'm sure you guys heard 0:35:58.520 --> 0:35:59.440 that before the scribble. 0:35:59.480 --> 0:35:59.680 Yeah. 0:35:59.719 --> 0:36:02.760 Yeah, things were just moving so fast, and I was like, man, 0:36:03.040 --> 0:36:05.239 let me just celebrate with my teammates and just you know, 0:36:05.280 --> 0:36:07.200 because we got to go back on defense again, so. 0:36:07.800 --> 0:36:10.520 You guys, doesn't look I was I was thinking like, man, 0:36:11.440 --> 0:36:14.799 they might not score. This might be a situation. So 0:36:15.200 --> 0:36:19.040 because first half, nothing, third, I mean basically through three quarters, 0:36:19.160 --> 0:36:21.560 and then did it dawn on you at any point 0:36:21.600 --> 0:36:24.120 in time say you know what, man, we might shut 0:36:24.160 --> 0:36:26.040 these guys out. Hey guys, man, let's see if we 0:36:26.080 --> 0:36:27.880 can push this shut out. 0:36:28.200 --> 0:36:31.239 Yeah, that's exactly what we're saying on sidelines, like yo, 0:36:31.400 --> 0:36:32.520 keep that goose sagging up there. 0:36:32.520 --> 0:36:34.000 Don't let them score. Don't let them score. 0:36:34.400 --> 0:36:34.600 You know. 0:36:34.640 --> 0:36:36.359 They they was able to move down the field. They 0:36:36.360 --> 0:36:36.680 got that. 0:36:36.680 --> 0:36:39.560 Bomb on to Mac to Mac Collins, and they got 0:36:39.560 --> 0:36:42.759 that scrambled pass to Stevenson coming out in the gold 0:36:42.760 --> 0:36:45.000 Line area. But we tried, man, we really tried to 0:36:45.000 --> 0:36:46.319 push that shut out. That would have been a great 0:36:46.320 --> 0:36:47.359 accomplishment of the Super Bowl. 0:36:47.440 --> 0:36:47.680 Yeah. 0:36:47.719 --> 0:36:51.000 And plus when you think about Seattle, obviously the Legion 0:36:51.000 --> 0:36:53.480 of Boot. Uh, you know you got Shearm and you 0:36:53.600 --> 0:36:56.880 got Earl Thomas, and you got those guys be waged 0:36:56.920 --> 0:36:59.600 and you got that. But you guys are establishing a 0:36:59.680 --> 0:37:04.560 Danny on your own. Yeah, everybody's gonna remember a historic defense. 0:37:04.600 --> 0:37:07.120 They will get remembered. But you started something on your 0:37:07.120 --> 0:37:12.280 guys own. You call you GUYSLF what's thismob the dark Side? 0:37:12.360 --> 0:37:13.600 Uh, the dark Side? 0:37:13.960 --> 0:37:16.560 Yeah, dark said, I'm a part of that. 0:37:16.840 --> 0:37:17.080 Yeah. 0:37:18.760 --> 0:37:20.719 Yeah, that's just something that we just try to bring, 0:37:20.800 --> 0:37:23.080 you know, our own identity. Of course, we respect the 0:37:23.160 --> 0:37:24.640 Legion of Boom and what they've done, so we just 0:37:24.800 --> 0:37:27.279 kind of try to, you know, integrate our own way 0:37:27.320 --> 0:37:30.000 of life, our own thing MOB which stands for Mission 0:37:30.080 --> 0:37:34.040 over BS and something on the team came up with and. 0:37:34.040 --> 0:37:34.719 It's something that stuck. 0:37:34.760 --> 0:37:37.120 It's like our creed, something that we made by and 0:37:37.160 --> 0:37:39.400 the Dark Side is just something that the defense is 0:37:39.480 --> 0:37:41.840 just incorporated and something we just built on. 0:37:42.320 --> 0:37:46.400 I look at you guys get Ernest Jones. Ernest Jones 0:37:46.400 --> 0:37:49.560 was traded like twice in a single season. You get 0:37:49.560 --> 0:37:52.600 big Leonard Williams, yourself, you come over from the Chargers. 0:37:53.920 --> 0:37:54.800 When you look at. 0:37:54.680 --> 0:37:58.200 This team and how you guys Dlaw came over in previously, 0:37:58.480 --> 0:38:00.960 and you look at how this team is instructed, you 0:38:01.120 --> 0:38:02.520 guys are built. 0:38:02.880 --> 0:38:05.240 You guys are built. That that doesn't guarantee you because 0:38:05.280 --> 0:38:06.560 you know, every year is different. 0:38:06.840 --> 0:38:08.759 Because we said the same thing about the Eagles, that 0:38:08.800 --> 0:38:10.560 the Eagles are gonna be back, and boy, look out 0:38:10.600 --> 0:38:13.840 the blad YadA YadA a lot. It's gonna be different 0:38:14.200 --> 0:38:16.520 because everybody's gonna break your guys down there. It's like, okay, 0:38:16.560 --> 0:38:18.200 look they like to keep them safe. This back, we've 0:38:18.200 --> 0:38:19.960 got to run the football. So it's gonna be a 0:38:19.960 --> 0:38:22.440 different year. But the guys, the way you're constructed, you 0:38:22.520 --> 0:38:25.040 guys are built the last you got a young football team, 0:38:25.320 --> 0:38:27.439 you got a hungry coach, and I think you got 0:38:28.160 --> 0:38:31.399 a group of hungry young men.

And I'm not saying 0:41:17.560 --> 0:41:21.240 it's because they came on Nightcap. I'm just saying maybe 0:41:21.640 --> 0:41:24.600 it's some type of coincidence. And I'm not a conspiracy theorist, 0:41:25.080 --> 0:41:27.040 but everyone that comes in the show has some type 0:41:27.040 --> 0:41:29.040 of success in whatever it is that they're doing in life. 0:41:29.440 --> 0:41:32.319 And I just find that, like, you know, yeah, I. 0:41:32.239 --> 0:41:34.120 Think everybody came on. I think the team at least 0:41:34.120 --> 0:41:34.960 made the playoffs. 0:41:36.040 --> 0:41:38.680 Yeah, yeah, except except. 0:41:39.120 --> 0:41:40.960 Thornton came on and didn't make the playoffs. 0:41:41.000 --> 0:41:43.239 But you look at Jalen Johnson and the and the 0:41:43.520 --> 0:41:45.680 what do you call them, they made the playoffs, the Bears, 0:41:46.320 --> 0:41:47.360 Lennard Williams came on. 0:41:47.719 --> 0:41:48.640 EJ came on. 0:41:49.280 --> 0:41:52.880 Uh uh, the guy that plays opposite the Verse or 0:41:52.880 --> 0:41:57.680 the Rams, he came on. So yeah, you come on. 0:41:58.600 --> 0:42:02.600 No guarantee, but they're a great probability in all likelihood. Yeah, yeah, 0:42:03.800 --> 0:42:07.640 a veteran quarterback to the roster, and rumors are first 0:42:07.680 --> 0:42:11.600 Cousins Kirk Cousins could be back in Minnesota. The Falcons 0:42:11.640 --> 0:42:14.359 are expected to cut Cousins before the new league year 0:42:14.400 --> 0:42:18.040 begins in March. Ojo, do you want to see Cousins 0:42:18.120 --> 0:42:19.080 back in Minnesota? 0:42:20.200 --> 0:42:21.560 I think it would be dope. I think it would 0:42:21.560 --> 0:42:23.880 be great. I think it'd'd be great for Justin Jefferson. 0:42:24.000 --> 0:42:24.080 Uh. 0:42:24.840 --> 0:42:28.440 Obviously I had appearance with Justin Jefferson with with Lowe's 0:42:28.640 --> 0:42:31.200 and San Francisco before before I got home, and the 0:42:31.200 --> 0:42:34.080 news had already broke, the rumors that already broke a 0:42:34.360 --> 0:42:38.280 across the ticker on ESPN about them the Falcons releasing 0:42:38.600 --> 0:42:41.000 Kirk Cousins. At some point and I asked at JJ, 0:42:41.360 --> 0:42:44.200 you know, how would you feel about that. Listen, the 0:42:44.200 --> 0:42:47.000 more people in the quarterback room, the marrier, you know, 0:42:47.120 --> 0:42:50.880 having that veteran presence would be good. J. J. 0:42:51.040 --> 0:42:51.719 McCarthy out. 0:42:53.239 --> 0:42:55.040 I mean, obviously I know that because we know what 0:42:55.120 --> 0:42:57.520 Justin Jefferson was able to do with Kirk Cousins. We 0:42:57.640 --> 0:42:59.800 know Kirk Cousins at the Ham at that quarterback was 0:42:59.840 --> 0:43:02.040 this who already knows that offense. You know what the 0:43:02.120 --> 0:43:04.839 number is gonna look like during the regular season, you know, 0:43:04.960 --> 0:43:05.440 you know what they. 0:43:05.440 --> 0:43:05.960 Gonna be like. 0:43:06.239 --> 0:43:10.080 Might sojoin the proseason, but JJ will have one hundred 0:43:10.080 --> 0:43:12.680 and fifteen catches, sixteen. 0:43:12.239 --> 0:43:16.319 Seventeen, sixteen hundred, Yeah, yeah, yeah, most definitely, So with 0:43:16.440 --> 0:43:19.160 him with with with JJ understanding that and really being 0:43:19.280 --> 0:43:23.160 PC with his answer to me, he was he was, 0:43:23.160 --> 0:43:25.480 he was cheering for both quarterbacks. And if Kirk Cousins 0:43:25.520 --> 0:43:27.800 has the opportunity to come back, listen, more quarterbacks in 0:43:27.800 --> 0:43:31.120 the quarterback room, the better for us as a team collectively. 0:43:32.280 --> 0:43:33.880 But I mean, I think it's cool. I think it 0:43:33.920 --> 0:43:36.239 makes the most sense. It's a it's an offense that 0:43:36.360 --> 0:43:40.000 Kirk is familiar with. You saying he might be J. J. 0:43:40.120 --> 0:43:42.440 McCarthy out, Let's say he doesn't be. J. J. McCarthy out. 0:43:42.600 --> 0:43:44.920 It's a good veteran presence to have in that in 0:43:44.960 --> 0:43:48.960 that locker room, and if JJ starts playing bad, they 0:43:48.960 --> 0:43:51.600 won't have any problem. They won't have any issues, you know, 0:43:51.680 --> 0:43:54.280 making that switch and making that change at any point 0:43:54.640 --> 0:43:57.880 if they feel they have an opportunity to can to contend. 0:43:58.040 --> 0:44:00.000 And maybe one of the reasons they moved on from 0:44:00.320 --> 0:44:03.560 Donald they knew Donnad would beat him out. O Joe, 0:44:03.600 --> 0:44:07.160 if I bring a veteran in, oh, a veteran in, 0:44:07.760 --> 0:44:10.040 I got to bring one that can't win the job. 0:44:11.440 --> 0:44:15.320 Yeah. If I bring a veteran in oo and he good? 0:44:18.120 --> 0:44:18.640 I didn't. 0:44:18.640 --> 0:44:20.880 I didn't, O Joe. I didn't like this signing from 0:44:20.880 --> 0:44:25.319 Atlanta from day one. I didn't know, and I said it. 0:44:25.840 --> 0:44:28.520 I said, Oh, Joe, the best they needed, they needed 0:44:28.600 --> 0:44:29.440 security blanket. 0:44:29.480 --> 0:44:33.440 I'm saying for Atlanta, oh what they had, what they 0:44:33.480 --> 0:44:37.239 had to sign him for coming off that injury. I said, 0:44:37.520 --> 0:44:41.200 the best you could possibly hope for, you hoping that 0:44:41.239 --> 0:44:43.239 the man gives you two years. But what if he 0:44:43.280 --> 0:44:46.680 only gives you one and then you go draft a 0:44:46.719 --> 0:44:49.759 quarterback that high. You drafted a quarterback that already had 0:44:49.880 --> 0:44:50.760 multiple injuries. 0:44:52.160 --> 0:44:54.759 I don't. It didn't make a whole lot of sense. 0:44:54.760 --> 0:44:58.200 And Matt Ryan's it didn't make he was noncamental to 0:44:58.760 --> 0:45:01.759 Pennick Junior, like, well, you know, hey, we know I 0:45:01.760 --> 0:45:03.440 see him up there all the time. I'm in you know, 0:45:03.440 --> 0:45:06.879 I'm in the building often, and and and and I 0:45:06.920 --> 0:45:11.239 know he's working hard. That wasn't no commitment. That didn't 0:45:11.239 --> 0:45:12.400 know yet he's our quarterback. 0:45:13.360 --> 0:45:15.680 But you all still have to understand Matt Ryan knows 0:45:15.719 --> 0:45:19.520 what you need. Matt quarter he's a he's a yeah, 0:45:19.520 --> 0:45:22.040 he's an evaluator of talent. He knows what it's supposed 0:45:22.040 --> 0:45:23.520 to look like, and he knows what you need to 0:45:23.520 --> 0:45:25.880 get over the hump. And obviously not winning a Super Bowl, 0:45:26.120 --> 0:45:27.280 but going to one. 0:45:28.239 --> 0:45:31.680 Twenty eight three lead, all they had to do was 0:45:31.719 --> 0:45:33.760 run the football. Run the ball. 0:45:33.960 --> 0:45:35.920 Yeah, that wasn't That wasn't his fault. That wouldn't There 0:45:36.000 --> 0:45:38.799 wasn't much he could do in that situation because he wouldn't. 0:45:39.080 --> 0:45:41.480 If I got a twenty eight three lead. There is 0:45:41.520 --> 0:45:45.920 no way in hell the team that has three have 0:45:46.160 --> 0:45:48.400 more rush A Temps in the second half than me. 0:45:49.680 --> 0:45:51.719 Me let that sink in the team. 0:45:51.560 --> 0:45:54.440 That's losing twenty eight three got more Russia teamps than 0:45:54.440 --> 0:45:55.879 the team winning twenty eight three. 0:45:56.360 --> 0:45:57.120 Make it make sense. 0:45:57.280 --> 0:45:58.000 That's crazy. 0:45:58.400 --> 0:46:00.000 But I tell you what, who didn't make that mistake? 0:46:00.040 --> 0:46:03.239 Clint Koby can't make that mistake, Diddy, I'll give damn 0:46:03.280 --> 0:46:06.719 you a I understand. I'm sorry, Hey, okay, down, I'm 0:46:06.719 --> 0:46:08.640 sorry you lost three yards, but we go head it 0:46:08.640 --> 0:46:14.680 to your gain. Yeah, exactly because I've got to because 0:46:15.000 --> 0:46:19.720 that's time t tick, because you throw it incomplete closs 0:46:19.760 --> 0:46:23.040 off the clock. If I run the ball, if I 0:46:23.080 --> 0:46:25.480 get one first down on yo, I'm gonna take damn 0:46:25.480 --> 0:46:27.600 near three minutes off the clock with one first down. 0:46:29.120 --> 0:46:32.759 Don't let me get two or three. And that's all 0:46:32.760 --> 0:46:33.440 they needed to do. 0:46:33.520 --> 0:46:40.319 What Hey, that happened many many years ago. But yeah, 0:46:40.400 --> 0:46:43.160 I definitely think the Vikers the viculum of kicking themselves. 0:46:43.160 --> 0:46:45.520 They saw Sam Donald. Now that's not to say Sam 0:46:45.560 --> 0:46:49.640 Donald would have led them, I'm not saying that, but Sam. 0:46:49.400 --> 0:46:51.040 Donald was better than what you had. 0:46:51.320 --> 0:46:53.600 You make the I believe you make the playoffs with 0:46:53.719 --> 0:46:57.760 Sam Donald, and now with that, you take Sam Donald 0:46:57.800 --> 0:46:59.800 away from the Seahawks. Now they've got to go in 0:46:59.840 --> 0:47:00.640 a different direction. 0:47:01.680 --> 0:47:02.120 Yeah. 0:47:02.160 --> 0:47:04.920 So not only do I build I build myself up, 0:47:04.960 --> 0:47:09.400 O Joe, I weakened an opponent because at the end 0:47:09.400 --> 0:47:11.239 of the day, ND that what I'm trying to do. Yes, 0:47:11.320 --> 0:47:13.640 I'm trying to. I'm trying to win. It's like I'm 0:47:13.680 --> 0:47:16.920 in court. I'm yes, I'm trying to. I'm trying to 0:47:16.920 --> 0:47:19.640 make a very compelling argument from my client. But I'm 0:47:19.680 --> 0:47:23.040 also trying to punch holes in the prosecution or the defense. 0:47:24.120 --> 0:47:26.320 Right, So if I can do two things, I'm cool. 0:47:26.880 --> 0:47:30.799 I got it. You don't mm hmm. 0:47:31.920 --> 0:47:33.920 You know what I think. 0:47:34.640 --> 0:47:36.399 I'm not saying they would have won the Super Bowl, 0:47:36.800 --> 0:47:39.840 but I think offensively that defense over there in Minnesota 0:47:39.960 --> 0:47:44.480 was good enough, especially with Brian Floyes calling that defense. 0:47:45.160 --> 0:47:47.080 He didn't have the legion, he didn't have the legion 0:47:47.120 --> 0:47:48.120 of Boom, he didn't have the. 0:47:48.200 --> 0:47:52.160 Dark side similar to that of the Seattle Seahawks and 0:47:52.200 --> 0:47:53.160 the and the defense they have. 0:47:53.400 --> 0:47:55.719 But the pieces that he did have, he always put 0:47:55.760 --> 0:47:56.120 him in the right. 0:47:56.360 --> 0:47:58.320 They can get off the quarterback now that no there 0:47:58.520 --> 0:48:03.120 they were. They weren't as formidable as the Seahawks, but 0:48:03.320 --> 0:48:06.640 with a different quarterback now maybe they're playing more this. 0:48:07.080 --> 0:48:07.960 I mean, you think about it. 0:48:08.040 --> 0:48:10.680 Sam Donald tied for the league league in interceptions, I 0:48:10.680 --> 0:48:13.360 mean for turnovers. So imagine if they didn't have to 0:48:13.400 --> 0:48:15.360 defend as much as they had to defend. 0:48:15.760 --> 0:48:16.160 They had to. 0:48:16.480 --> 0:48:19.480 Yeah, you saw him yesterday, you saw them in the postseason. 0:48:19.560 --> 0:48:21.759 I think they're the first team in postseason history to 0:48:21.840 --> 0:48:24.560 go the entire postseason, a minimum of three games and 0:48:24.600 --> 0:48:25.520 not turn the ball over. 0:48:27.800 --> 0:48:30.239 Hey, and that that that that was the issue. That's 0:48:30.280 --> 0:48:32.200 all we wanted to know, though, Can he do it? 0:48:33.120 --> 0:48:35.399 Can he keep the ball out of the other team's hand? 0:48:35.400 --> 0:48:38.000 And that's my only concern they would have. They would 0:48:38.040 --> 0:48:38.719 have an opportunity. 0:48:38.920 --> 0:48:39.399 They got it. 0:48:40.040 --> 0:48:44.320 Look, there are a handful of teams. I look at Houston, 0:48:45.080 --> 0:48:47.320 I look at Seattle, and I look at the Broncos. 0:48:47.800 --> 0:48:52.040 They had defenses that could win you a game. All 0:48:52.040 --> 0:48:54.040 I need the offense to do, not to do is 0:48:54.120 --> 0:48:57.440 if it up. You go back and look at Houston. 0:48:57.840 --> 0:48:59.400 What did the offense do in New England? 0:48:59.760 --> 0:49:02.080 It up up? What did the offense for the Broncos 0:49:02.120 --> 0:49:03.879 do in Denver? If it up? 0:49:05.000 --> 0:49:09.040 Seattle's offense didn't monk it up for the defense and 0:49:09.080 --> 0:49:12.319 they're the world champ for a reason. Yeah, and that's 0:49:12.360 --> 0:49:15.080 what you have. That's compromentary football. They didn't put the 0:49:15.080 --> 0:49:17.600 ball on the ground, they didn't give, they didn't give 0:49:18.239 --> 0:49:20.440 put their defense and harms way oh Yo, giving them 0:49:20.440 --> 0:49:25.040 short feels they didn't give Scooper scores pick sixes and okay, 0:49:25.239 --> 0:49:27.520 good luck driving the ball seventy five eighty yards on 0:49:27.560 --> 0:49:30.919 this defense. You might get one. But if you think 0:49:30.960 --> 0:49:34.640 you about to make a living going twelve thirteen plays, 0:49:35.000 --> 0:49:36.479 taking seven to eight minutes off. 0:49:36.400 --> 0:49:38.440 The clock, okay, live me know how didn't work out 0:49:38.440 --> 0:49:39.080 for you at end of the. 0:49:39.040 --> 0:49:42.120 Game, not having not against that defense. 0:49:42.719 --> 0:49:43.920 No, it's not. 0:49:45.080 --> 0:49:51.080 But uh, I can see Cousins going back. I don't 0:49:51.080 --> 0:49:52.719 know where he's gonna live. I don't even I mean, 0:49:52.760 --> 0:49:54.960 I'm assuming he's from Michigan. He went to Michigan State, 0:49:55.000 --> 0:49:59.120 so I'm assuming he's from somewhere Michigan in the Midwest. 0:50:00.719 --> 0:50:01.879 He seems more of. 0:50:01.800 --> 0:50:06.160 A Minnesota Michigan type of guy as opposed to it 0:50:06.320 --> 0:50:11.880 Atlanta type of a guy. Uh, but I understood Minnesota 0:50:11.880 --> 0:50:13.880 moving on because he towards a he towards Achilles. 0:50:13.880 --> 0:50:15.719 Oh, Joe, I can't give you. 0:50:15.920 --> 0:50:18.439 I mean, Atlanta basically gave him fifty million dollars coming 0:50:18.440 --> 0:50:20.839 off on the tour. A guy that's non mobile, that's 0:50:20.880 --> 0:50:24.320 coming off an achilles injury. 0:50:25.840 --> 0:50:28.960 No, hey, hold on, and now is it he's a 0:50:29.040 --> 0:50:31.759 year removed from Yeah, another year removed from Yeah. 0:50:31.800 --> 0:50:33.520 So he'll be that, he'll be that. 0:50:34.440 --> 0:50:35.160 He's familiar. 0:50:35.200 --> 0:50:38.040 He's spent what three four years in that system with 0:50:38.160 --> 0:50:42.320 Kevin O'Connor, so he knows it, you know, just unlearned, 0:50:42.320 --> 0:50:43.920 you know, the two years that he was in Atlanta 0:50:44.080 --> 0:50:46.600 and learned that won't take long because I remember when 0:50:46.600 --> 0:50:49.040 I went to Baltimore having to learn a new system. 0:50:49.200 --> 0:50:52.360 When I got back to Denver, Oh Joe, in like 0:50:52.440 --> 0:50:56.160 three or two or three days, I'm good. I was 0:50:56.200 --> 0:50:59.239 absolutely good. But uh, Minnesota, they can use a vetter. 0:50:59.320 --> 0:51:01.560 You said that he was a veteran presence. But at 0:51:01.600 --> 0:51:04.360 the end of the day, J. J. McCarthy's gonna have 0:51:04.360 --> 0:51:07.040 to become something oyo because you gave him got to 0:51:07.160 --> 0:51:11.680 It's not like, say, oyo, he got four million dollars 0:51:11.680 --> 0:51:13.879 in incentives, Oh Joe, you could have tied. You could 0:51:13.880 --> 0:51:18.400 put that Minnesota could have gave those same incentives. You 0:51:18.440 --> 0:51:21.440 could have gave him those same incentives. If Sam Donald 0:51:22.160 --> 0:51:26.360 it's thirty three, maybe I could give Sam Donald probably 0:51:26.400 --> 0:51:28.040 only like twenty six, twenty seven. 0:51:29.480 --> 0:51:32.640 Yeah, I didn't think that they didn't want to keep 0:51:32.680 --> 0:51:35.000 him on because they knew he wasn't gonna be He 0:51:35.080 --> 0:51:37.520 wasn't gonna beat Sam out. It wasn't gonna make no sense. 0:51:38.320 --> 0:51:41.240 It wasn't gonna make no sense, especially coming off the season. 0:51:41.239 --> 0:51:43.480 He just had no Let's go ahead and get rid 0:51:43.520 --> 0:51:45.759 of him. Let's go ahead and get rid of him. 0:51:46.440 --> 0:51:48.960 Let JJ McCarthy take the handbody looking. 0:51:48.840 --> 0:51:51.799 Over his shoulder the draft, You ain't gonna be looking 0:51:51.800 --> 0:51:54.160 over your shoulder because what you call him, Sam Donald's 0:51:54.160 --> 0:51:57.840 gonna be in front of you. You look over your 0:51:57.840 --> 0:51:59.959 shoulder with something behind you, Sam's gonna be in front 0:52:00.160 --> 0:52:02.960 That man won fourteen games, won, Joe, Hell, I think 0:52:02.960 --> 0:52:07.319 you went to the Pro Bowl last year. Slam's twenty eight? 0:52:07.760 --> 0:52:11.839 So hello, how old JJ McCarthy. J McCarthy probably twenty four. 0:52:17.280 --> 0:52:20.120 So we'll see how this thing plays out.

O Yoe, I think 0:52:23.960 --> 0:52:29.000 we canna have a season where a lot of turnover. Yeah, 0:52:29.080 --> 0:52:33.480 JJ is twenty three, Damn, that's it. 0:52:33.760 --> 0:52:34.759 You know he came out early. 0:52:35.960 --> 0:52:40.759 Oh that's right.
