Speaker 2: Did I mention? This is the annual tradition.

40
00:02:06,960 --> 00:02:10,320
Speaker 1: We stand at the Combine and to wait exactly where,

41
00:02:10,400 --> 00:02:14,240
Speaker 1: if anywhere, Aaron Rodgers will be playing football coming up

42
00:02:14,400 --> 00:02:18,280
Speaker 1: this fall. Rogers has been In communication with the Steelers

43
00:02:18,520 --> 00:02:21,720
Speaker 1: and gm O Markhn continues to say there is a

44
00:02:21,880 --> 00:02:25,720
Speaker 1: chance Rogers is back for a second season in Pittsburgh.

45
00:02:25,840 --> 00:02:28,000
Speaker 5: The doors open to have Aaron back. You know, we've

46
00:02:28,080 --> 00:02:30,320
Speaker 5: I've had conversations with him. I spoke to him last week.

47
00:02:31,040 --> 00:02:34,440
Speaker 5: You know, Mike McCarthy has spoke to him, and you know,

48
00:02:34,480 --> 00:02:35,640
Speaker 5: he knows how we feel about him.

49
00:02:35,680 --> 00:02:38,760
Speaker 6: And you know it's right now, we're proceeding it.

50
00:02:38,760 --> 00:02:40,200
Speaker 5: You know, he's not he's a free agent and he's

51
00:02:40,200 --> 00:02:42,280
Speaker 5: not on the roster, so but you know, he knows

52
00:02:42,280 --> 00:02:43,080
Speaker 5: how we feel about him.

53
00:02:43,520 --> 00:02:46,440
Speaker 7: You'll get the sense that he's deciding between retirement or

54
00:02:46,480 --> 00:02:49,119
Speaker 7: playing for the Pittsburgh Steelers, or is he also considering

55
00:02:49,160 --> 00:02:50,760
Speaker 7: some other options like another team.

56
00:02:51,120 --> 00:02:52,360
Speaker 6: You know that's a question for Aaron.

57
00:02:52,400 --> 00:02:54,079
Speaker 5: I mean, he knows how we feel and I think

58
00:02:54,280 --> 00:02:55,720
Speaker 5: we know how he feels about us.

59
00:02:55,760 --> 00:02:58,400
Speaker 6: It was it was a good experience for both sides.

60
00:02:58,919 --> 00:03:01,760
Speaker 5: Unfortunately we didn't we didn't reach our goals on winning

61
00:03:01,800 --> 00:03:04,240
Speaker 5: the games that we wanted to win at the end,

62
00:03:04,560 --> 00:03:07,840
Speaker 5: but you know, there's a mutual respect there.

63
00:03:07,840 --> 00:03:08,440
Speaker 6: We got there.

64
00:03:08,560 --> 00:03:11,200
Speaker 8: Any easy designs that this isn't going to drag out

65
00:03:11,240 --> 00:03:13,679
Speaker 8: the way that it did last year until right before.

66
00:03:13,480 --> 00:03:14,280
Speaker 9: The start of the moncamp.

67
00:03:14,360 --> 00:03:16,720
Speaker 5: Yeah, I think the circumstances are a little different, but

68
00:03:16,919 --> 00:03:17,920
Speaker 5: just conversations we had.

69
00:03:17,960 --> 00:03:20,640
Speaker 6: I think neither side wants to have this drag on

70
00:03:20,720 --> 00:03:21,520
Speaker 6: like it did last year.

71
00:03:23,400 --> 00:03:24,119
Speaker 2: We know this much.

72
00:03:24,160 --> 00:03:26,880
Speaker 1: Omar Khan definitely spoke not just because the video you saw,

73
00:03:26,960 --> 00:03:29,200
Speaker 1: but also because people made sure to put their cameras

74
00:03:29,240 --> 00:03:31,240
Speaker 1: and their phones up in front of our camera to

75
00:03:31,240 --> 00:03:33,079
Speaker 1: take a bunch of photos that will never see the

76
00:03:33,160 --> 00:03:35,440
Speaker 1: light of day. Judy, what we don't yet know will

77
00:03:35,480 --> 00:03:39,080
Speaker 1: Aaron Rodgers be back for another NFL season. The fact

78
00:03:39,120 --> 00:03:41,520
Speaker 1: they're communicating, I take is a good sign.

79
00:03:41,920 --> 00:03:42,160
Speaker 10: Yeah.

80
00:03:42,200 --> 00:03:44,400
Speaker 11: I talked to Omar Khan also, which we'll show you

81
00:03:44,440 --> 00:03:47,480
Speaker 11: more of later on in the show. He reiterated he

82
00:03:47,560 --> 00:03:51,680
Speaker 11: had recently talked to Rogers, so the communication is constant

83
00:03:51,720 --> 00:03:55,400
Speaker 11: and current. They feel good about where they are. I

84
00:03:55,440 --> 00:03:58,200
Speaker 11: asked him, is there a deadline? No, there is no deadline,

85
00:03:58,240 --> 00:04:01,000
Speaker 11: but certainly they do not expect this to go anywhere

86
00:04:01,040 --> 00:04:04,720
Speaker 11: near as late as it did last year. At this time,

87
00:04:05,000 --> 00:04:06,880
Speaker 11: I said, by free agency, and he said, well, I

88
00:04:06,880 --> 00:04:08,480
Speaker 11: don't want to put a time limit on it, but

89
00:04:08,600 --> 00:04:13,080
Speaker 11: certainly they want this done. They expect an answer from him.

90
00:04:13,520 --> 00:04:15,360
Speaker 11: They feel really good about their position with him.

91
00:04:15,840 --> 00:04:16,800
Speaker 3: It certainly makes sense.

92
00:04:16,839 --> 00:04:19,440
Speaker 12: And you know where Aaron Rodgers was last year, which

93
00:04:19,520 --> 00:04:22,000
Speaker 12: was first of all, taking his decision obviously deep into

94
00:04:22,080 --> 00:04:24,640
Speaker 12: the spring and into the summer, which made it fun

95
00:04:24,680 --> 00:04:26,559
Speaker 12: for us to talk about it over and over. Wanted

96
00:04:26,560 --> 00:04:28,919
Speaker 12: to make sure that if he landed somewhere, it was

97
00:04:28,920 --> 00:04:31,800
Speaker 12: with a team that would potentially have the opportunity to

98
00:04:31,920 --> 00:04:34,720
Speaker 12: be good, make the playoffs, and go into it.

99
00:04:35,360 --> 00:04:36,919
Speaker 3: That is where he still stands.

100
00:04:36,920 --> 00:04:40,000
Speaker 12: I mean, knowing Mike McCarthy, not saying it's a given

101
00:04:40,000 --> 00:04:42,760
Speaker 12: that he's back, but knowing Mike McCarthy, The fact that

102
00:04:42,839 --> 00:04:45,280
Speaker 12: McCarthy's now the head coach of the Pittsburgh Steelers, the

103
00:04:45,320 --> 00:04:47,440
Speaker 12: fact that he and Rodgers had for a long time

104
00:04:47,480 --> 00:04:51,520
Speaker 12: a really good relationship, definitely increases the possibility that he

105
00:04:51,640 --> 00:04:54,320
Speaker 12: is back. It just doesn't seem tom like there's as

106
00:04:54,400 --> 00:04:58,040
Speaker 12: much to consider now if you're Aaron Rodgers as there

107
00:04:58,080 --> 00:05:00,560
Speaker 12: was last year. Like the locker room, like the O organization,

108
00:05:00,880 --> 00:05:03,960
Speaker 12: good players, chance to win, likes the coach, and certainly

109
00:05:04,000 --> 00:05:05,760
Speaker 12: knows the offense as well as anything.

110
00:05:06,480 --> 00:05:08,760
Speaker 3: Positivity seems pretty high.

111
00:05:09,080 --> 00:05:12,000
Speaker 13: It does also feel like they're not tiptoeing nearly as

112
00:05:12,040 --> 00:05:14,640
Speaker 13: much like they're not afraid to say last year.

113
00:05:14,560 --> 00:05:15,720
Speaker 3: Was the last year was spoocal.

114
00:05:16,760 --> 00:05:18,560
Speaker 2: I have to know him now, I mean that's part

115
00:05:18,560 --> 00:05:20,120
Speaker 2: of it, but been the head coach factor as well,

116
00:05:20,160 --> 00:05:21,280
Speaker 2: I think is a big part.

117
00:05:21,200 --> 00:05:23,640
Speaker 1: Of it too, for sure, and certainly with Mike McCarthy.

118
00:05:23,640 --> 00:05:26,680
Speaker 1: It's an offense that Aaron Rodgers knows very well. But

119
00:05:26,760 --> 00:05:28,800
Speaker 1: some of those things last year, the frustrations we saw

120
00:05:28,839 --> 00:05:31,320
Speaker 1: at times of Aaron Rodgers, the little things not going right,

121
00:05:31,720 --> 00:05:34,240
Speaker 1: having an offseason and not showing up in mini camp

122
00:05:34,240 --> 00:05:36,839
Speaker 1: would probably benefit everybody involved because well as he knows

123
00:05:36,839 --> 00:05:39,080
Speaker 1: the offense, everybody else is going to have a lot

124
00:05:39,080 --> 00:05:42,040
Speaker 1: of learning to do on the job. Kirk Cousins, it appears,

125
00:05:42,040 --> 00:05:45,440
Speaker 1: will have a new home gm Ian Cunningham confirming the

126
00:05:45,560 --> 00:05:48,839
Speaker 1: obvious earlier today. Kirk Cousins, based upon the structure of

127
00:05:48,839 --> 00:05:51,120
Speaker 1: his contract, will be released when the new league year

128
00:05:51,160 --> 00:05:54,160
Speaker 1: begins on March eleventh. Here's a little bit more about

129
00:05:54,160 --> 00:05:57,960
Speaker 1: what Cunningham had to say about Cousins and oh there's

130
00:05:58,000 --> 00:06:02,039
Speaker 1: no sound all right, sure, I'll take you from here.

131
00:06:02,040 --> 00:06:04,800
Speaker 12: Talking about Tua tuga Il and his future with the

132
00:06:04,839 --> 00:06:07,960
Speaker 12: Miami Dolphins obviously still in doubt. I think it's fair

133
00:06:08,000 --> 00:06:12,520
Speaker 12: to say with John Eric Sullivan, the Miami Dolphins new

134
00:06:12,600 --> 00:06:15,839
Speaker 12: general manager, talking to reporters and saying all options are

135
00:06:15,880 --> 00:06:19,720
Speaker 12: on the table for Tua Tago. If they release him,

136
00:06:19,760 --> 00:06:22,599
Speaker 12: it is a ninety nine million dollar capit.

137
00:06:23,080 --> 00:06:24,479
Speaker 3: If they keep him.

138
00:06:24,560 --> 00:06:26,240
Speaker 12: And he has to play for him, which seems like

139
00:06:26,720 --> 00:06:30,760
Speaker 12: a fresh start would benefit everyone. John Eric Sullivan talked

140
00:06:30,800 --> 00:06:33,599
Speaker 12: about all of the options with the reporters earlier today.

141
00:06:33,760 --> 00:06:38,200
Speaker 14: We've had conversations with Tua and his representation. Everything's on

142
00:06:38,240 --> 00:06:42,840
Speaker 14: the table, including the potential of a trade. We don't

143
00:06:42,839 --> 00:06:44,520
Speaker 14: know which way that's gonna go. There's a lot of

144
00:06:44,520 --> 00:06:48,240
Speaker 14: different factors at play, a lot of conversations being had, but.

145
00:06:49,720 --> 00:06:50,960
Speaker 9: Evaluating the roster.

146
00:06:51,200 --> 00:06:54,080
Speaker 14: You know, Quinn did a nice job towards the end

147
00:06:54,120 --> 00:06:57,480
Speaker 14: of the year, excited about what's ahead for him.

148
00:06:57,800 --> 00:06:58,000
Speaker 15: You know.

149
00:06:58,160 --> 00:07:00,920
Speaker 14: Two I thought, even though they didn't go well at

150
00:07:00,920 --> 00:07:03,919
Speaker 14: the end of the year, did some good things along

151
00:07:03,960 --> 00:07:07,880
Speaker 14: the way, and it's my job to infuse competition into

152
00:07:07,920 --> 00:07:10,040
Speaker 14: that room, along with every other room as we go

153
00:07:10,080 --> 00:07:10,640
Speaker 14: down the road.

154
00:07:11,240 --> 00:07:15,240
Speaker 1: The future of Max Crosby also remains at least somewhat fluid.

155
00:07:15,280 --> 00:07:18,240
Speaker 1: Despite GM John spy Tech of the Raiders go into

156
00:07:18,280 --> 00:07:22,360
Speaker 1: the podium today and bringing pretty clear that from his perspective,

157
00:07:22,680 --> 00:07:25,800
Speaker 1: there is no story here regarding his star pass rusher.

158
00:07:26,000 --> 00:07:27,200
Speaker 15: Max is an elite player.

159
00:07:27,240 --> 00:07:29,679
Speaker 16: And I've been very upfront from the from the start

160
00:07:29,720 --> 00:07:32,120
Speaker 16: when I got here that, you know, we're in the

161
00:07:32,120 --> 00:07:33,880
Speaker 16: business of having really good players on the team and

162
00:07:34,080 --> 00:07:35,760
Speaker 16: we need we need a lot more of them, and

163
00:07:36,480 --> 00:07:38,080
Speaker 16: you know, it's hard to build a great team without

164
00:07:38,080 --> 00:07:38,760
Speaker 16: elite players.

165
00:07:38,880 --> 00:07:40,040
Speaker 15: Max and I have a great relationship.

166
00:07:40,080 --> 00:07:41,960
Speaker 16: He's in the building every day getting healthy right now,

167
00:07:42,080 --> 00:07:42,720
Speaker 16: We talk on the.

168
00:07:42,640 --> 00:07:45,720
Speaker 15: Phone, we text, So I have a great relationship with Max.

169
00:07:46,280 --> 00:07:46,480
Speaker 2: Mike.

170
00:07:46,720 --> 00:07:49,520
Speaker 13: What do you make of it, Well, John Spytech general

171
00:07:49,520 --> 00:07:51,720
Speaker 13: managers saying that his one of his star players is

172
00:07:51,720 --> 00:07:54,000
Speaker 13: going to be back in action in twenty twenty six.

173
00:07:53,920 --> 00:07:55,800
Speaker 2: So that'll put a bow on that story. Thank you.

174
00:07:55,880 --> 00:08:00,119
Speaker 2: Tip back to you. No, we're not, we're not. It's not.

175
00:07:59,720 --> 00:08:02,200
Speaker 12: It's it is interesting that a general manager takes to

176
00:08:02,240 --> 00:08:04,200
Speaker 12: the podium in front of one hundred people and says

177
00:08:04,240 --> 00:08:06,400
Speaker 12: a thing and everyone's like yeah, But.

178
00:08:06,560 --> 00:08:10,560
Speaker 11: Because it's the GM language, it's the shaded GM langs

179
00:08:10,680 --> 00:08:12,800
Speaker 11: expects that doesn't mean anything.

180
00:08:12,880 --> 00:08:14,920
Speaker 13: Well, what it means now is the balls in Max

181
00:08:14,960 --> 00:08:17,000
Speaker 13: Crosby's court. Right, does he want to press this at all?

182
00:08:17,000 --> 00:08:19,840
Speaker 13: I mean, we talked about how things ended last season

183
00:08:19,920 --> 00:08:22,600
Speaker 13: with him not playing those last couple of games, and

184
00:08:22,960 --> 00:08:24,600
Speaker 13: the thought that he was healthy enough to play or

185
00:08:24,640 --> 00:08:27,360
Speaker 13: healthy enough to shoot hoops at home and put it

186
00:08:27,400 --> 00:08:29,960
Speaker 13: on social media, and so some things have to be

187
00:08:30,200 --> 00:08:32,440
Speaker 13: patched over and some things have to be discussed and

188
00:08:33,160 --> 00:08:35,719
Speaker 13: the future, right, I mean, if you're Max Crosby, I

189
00:08:35,760 --> 00:08:38,960
Speaker 13: remember watching these games last year and saying, I can't

190
00:08:38,960 --> 00:08:40,920
Speaker 13: believe this guy is playing as hard as he is

191
00:08:40,960 --> 00:08:43,080
Speaker 13: in games that really are not going to matter when

192
00:08:43,080 --> 00:08:45,120
Speaker 13: it comes to playoff positioning, at least not from the

193
00:08:45,200 --> 00:08:47,560
Speaker 13: Raiders standpoint. So what does he want to because this

194
00:08:47,600 --> 00:08:49,680
Speaker 13: is going to be another little bit of a boot.

195
00:08:49,720 --> 00:08:51,480
Speaker 13: I don't think anybody's picking the Raiders to win the

196
00:08:51,480 --> 00:08:54,200
Speaker 13: Super Bowl this upcoming season. Maybe the year after that,

197
00:08:54,240 --> 00:08:56,520
Speaker 13: we'll see. But this is a great player that just

198
00:08:56,600 --> 00:08:58,920
Speaker 13: hasn't played enough meaningful games in his career, and I

199
00:08:58,960 --> 00:09:01,600
Speaker 13: want to know what he thinks. He's been keeping it

200
00:09:01,640 --> 00:09:02,480
Speaker 13: a lot to Himselfie.

201
00:09:02,480 --> 00:09:05,280
Speaker 12: Now he's got a podcast that's a great, great opportunity

202
00:09:05,280 --> 00:09:07,439
Speaker 12: for him. To speak out, has not yet spoken out

203
00:09:07,559 --> 00:09:09,760
Speaker 12: on exactly what he wants, and maybe some of the

204
00:09:09,800 --> 00:09:12,600
Speaker 12: reason is he doesn't know yet. I mean, the Las

205
00:09:12,679 --> 00:09:16,240
Speaker 12: Vegas Raiders have not gone through a offseason yet with

206
00:09:16,520 --> 00:09:20,559
Speaker 12: this new coaching staff and with gentlemenager John Spytech having

207
00:09:20,600 --> 00:09:24,400
Speaker 12: the ultimate opportunity to shape the team as he wants

208
00:09:24,520 --> 00:09:26,360
Speaker 12: rather than sort of the win now way or whatever

209
00:09:26,360 --> 00:09:29,320
Speaker 12: the heck that was with the Raiders last year. So

210
00:09:29,640 --> 00:09:32,760
Speaker 12: because his injury seems to extend the timeline of a

211
00:09:32,840 --> 00:09:36,240
Speaker 12: possible trade, at least he is going to see what

212
00:09:36,280 --> 00:09:39,000
Speaker 12: the Raiders have done in the offseason and does he

213
00:09:39,080 --> 00:09:41,760
Speaker 12: feel like this is a team that finally for real

214
00:09:41,840 --> 00:09:44,360
Speaker 12: this time with this staff or with this GM, has

215
00:09:44,360 --> 00:09:47,680
Speaker 12: a chance to win. If he doesn't, then we're going

216
00:09:47,720 --> 00:09:49,760
Speaker 12: to see how loud he gets in the spring.

217
00:09:49,520 --> 00:09:52,880
Speaker 11: But has a chance to win, win Like, how fast

218
00:09:53,040 --> 00:09:56,319
Speaker 11: can that happen? Because the business side of it says

219
00:09:56,440 --> 00:09:59,720
Speaker 11: that you should trade him when he has maximum value,

220
00:10:00,360 --> 00:10:02,880
Speaker 11: get those picks and use those picks to help you

221
00:10:03,000 --> 00:10:05,679
Speaker 11: rebuild a team. This is a rebuilding team, and it

222
00:10:06,200 --> 00:10:08,080
Speaker 11: may not be the sort of rebuild that we saw

223
00:10:08,120 --> 00:10:09,920
Speaker 11: so much in the NFL this year where they just

224
00:10:10,000 --> 00:10:11,760
Speaker 11: turned it immediately and got to the playoffs.

225
00:10:11,840 --> 00:10:13,480
Speaker 10: They're going to have a rookie quarterback.

226
00:10:13,559 --> 00:10:16,120
Speaker 11: We think they need a lot of pieces, and so

227
00:10:17,559 --> 00:10:19,800
Speaker 11: to me, you have to look at this. You have

228
00:10:19,880 --> 00:10:21,800
Speaker 11: to step back and take the emotion out of it

229
00:10:21,840 --> 00:10:24,200
Speaker 11: and say it's probably the smart thing to do for

230
00:10:24,240 --> 00:10:27,240
Speaker 11: the Raiders to trade Max Crosby. It's also probably the

231
00:10:27,240 --> 00:10:28,839
Speaker 11: best thing for Max Crosby's career.

232
00:10:28,880 --> 00:10:31,120
Speaker 1: There's certainly a history in recent years of some of

233
00:10:31,160 --> 00:10:34,240
Speaker 1: the big blockbuster trades happening in the week between the

234
00:10:34,320 --> 00:10:37,120
Speaker 1: combine and free agency. If something's going to happen, you

235
00:10:37,120 --> 00:10:39,520
Speaker 1: would think most likely it would be on that timeline,

236
00:10:39,520 --> 00:10:41,679
Speaker 1: which also may apply to a certain wide.

237
00:10:41,480 --> 00:10:42,480
Speaker 4: Receiver in Philadelia.

238
00:10:42,480 --> 00:10:45,200
Speaker 13: You're talking about AJ Brown and last season I had

239
00:10:45,240 --> 00:10:48,280
Speaker 13: a front row seat for the relationship between Brown and

240
00:10:48,400 --> 00:10:50,440
Speaker 13: Jalen Hurts. I've made the point that I don't know

241
00:10:50,440 --> 00:10:52,640
Speaker 13: that these two could coexist for another year. This is

242
00:10:52,679 --> 00:10:55,600
Speaker 13: a decision, though, that general manager Howie Roseman is going

243
00:10:55,600 --> 00:10:58,439
Speaker 13: to have to make, along with head coach Nick Sirianni.

244
00:10:58,760 --> 00:11:01,240
Speaker 2: I'm told the communications been great. I did ask Sirianni

245
00:11:01,240 --> 00:11:01,520
Speaker 2: about that.

246
00:11:01,559 --> 00:11:04,679
Speaker 13: We're gonna see that in just the second here for

247
00:11:04,920 --> 00:11:07,640
Speaker 13: now though, the Eagles making it clear that if A J.

248
00:11:07,800 --> 00:11:11,080
Speaker 13: Brown is back on the team this upcoming season, that's good,

249
00:11:11,080 --> 00:11:14,080
Speaker 13: and also if they get a ransom for him to

250
00:11:14,160 --> 00:11:16,040
Speaker 13: trade him, then that would be good the best interest

251
00:11:16,040 --> 00:11:16,440
Speaker 13: of our team.

252
00:11:16,440 --> 00:11:18,680
Speaker 2: That's what Howie Roseman said. Here's Nick Sirianni along with

253
00:11:18,720 --> 00:11:21,360
Speaker 2: your boy, Leagles coach Nick Sirianni.

254
00:11:21,600 --> 00:11:22,839
Speaker 13: At the end of a long day, he's done a

255
00:11:22,880 --> 00:11:25,000
Speaker 13: lot of interviews, he did his podium session, and we're

256
00:11:25,000 --> 00:11:28,480
Speaker 13: gonna make this quick because Dom's getting hungry. And that's

257
00:11:28,480 --> 00:11:31,360
Speaker 13: not just stick. Dom is literally getting hungry over there

258
00:11:31,600 --> 00:11:33,199
Speaker 13: and he's talking about dinner. And I don't want to

259
00:11:33,200 --> 00:11:36,040
Speaker 13: get in the way of that. Can you guarantee me

260
00:11:36,080 --> 00:11:41,720
Speaker 13: anything anything? Or can you not guarantee me anything? Because

261
00:11:41,800 --> 00:11:43,680
Speaker 13: I just context in case you're.

262
00:11:43,559 --> 00:11:45,120
Speaker 2: Not aware, because you.

263
00:11:45,080 --> 00:11:47,560
Speaker 13: Know, there's a there's a whole Philly media horde that

264
00:11:47,679 --> 00:11:50,839
Speaker 13: was here again today, the A. J.

265
00:11:51,000 --> 00:11:51,720
Speaker 4: Brown situation.

266
00:11:51,840 --> 00:11:53,760
Speaker 13: We came up and you said, well, I can't guarantee that,

267
00:11:54,480 --> 00:11:56,640
Speaker 13: almost as if to say I can't guarantee anything in life.

268
00:11:56,640 --> 00:11:57,800
Speaker 2: I think that's what you were driving at.

269
00:11:57,840 --> 00:11:59,440
Speaker 17: Am I right about that, yeah, Because I think when

270
00:11:59,440 --> 00:12:01,040
Speaker 17: you look at the rest of the comments like I

271
00:12:01,080 --> 00:12:03,920
Speaker 17: can't guarantee I'm gonna be here tomorrow or be here.

272
00:12:03,880 --> 00:12:05,680
Speaker 4: In this building. So at the end of the day,

273
00:12:06,440 --> 00:12:07,080
Speaker 4: all seriousness.

274
00:12:07,120 --> 00:12:08,679
Speaker 17: At the end of the day, I love AJ Brown,

275
00:12:08,720 --> 00:12:10,880
Speaker 17: I love the player, I love the person, I love

276
00:12:10,960 --> 00:12:11,520
Speaker 17: the teammate.

277
00:12:12,679 --> 00:12:13,440
Speaker 4: And when you get.

278
00:12:13,320 --> 00:12:15,559
Speaker 2: Asked a question where it's yes or no, it's like.

279
00:12:15,840 --> 00:12:17,840
Speaker 4: Hey, listen, I can't guarantee anything.

280
00:12:17,880 --> 00:12:19,640
Speaker 17: But at the end of the day, I love the man,

281
00:12:19,720 --> 00:12:22,520
Speaker 17: and I love the relationship that we have, all the

282
00:12:22,520 --> 00:12:24,440
Speaker 17: things that he's done, all the ups and downs that

283
00:12:24,440 --> 00:12:25,360
Speaker 17: we've had throughout.

284
00:12:26,520 --> 00:12:28,760
Speaker 4: Man, good player, good teammate, great person.

285
00:12:29,000 --> 00:12:31,240
Speaker 13: Here's what I know, Here's what I've reported, is that

286
00:12:31,600 --> 00:12:33,880
Speaker 13: he recently has been in a great headspace and there's

287
00:12:33,880 --> 00:12:36,000
Speaker 13: been great communication with the team and him.

288
00:12:36,640 --> 00:12:38,280
Speaker 4: Do you agree to that? I mean, do you do

289
00:12:38,320 --> 00:12:39,080
Speaker 4: you believe.

290
00:12:38,800 --> 00:12:41,200
Speaker 13: That all this communication so far has been good?

291
00:12:41,360 --> 00:12:41,600
Speaker 15: Yeah?

292
00:12:41,640 --> 00:12:44,640
Speaker 17: You know, my expectation is that he wants to be

293
00:12:44,679 --> 00:12:47,720
Speaker 17: here and we want him here. And man, again, like

294
00:12:47,720 --> 00:12:49,280
Speaker 17: I said, you know how, we said this in an

295
00:12:49,320 --> 00:12:51,120
Speaker 17: interview not too long ago, it's.

296
00:12:50,920 --> 00:12:52,400
Speaker 4: Like it's hard to get good players.

297
00:12:52,720 --> 00:12:54,640
Speaker 17: We want as many good players as we possibly can

298
00:12:54,679 --> 00:12:57,200
Speaker 17: have on the team, especially a guy who's a teammate

299
00:12:57,280 --> 00:12:58,840
Speaker 17: and a person like aj Is.

300
00:12:59,080 --> 00:13:01,520
Speaker 13: You've got good players, you had a good record this year.

301
00:13:01,520 --> 00:13:02,840
Speaker 13: I mean, you won a lot of games. Did you

302
00:13:02,880 --> 00:13:05,400
Speaker 13: have to take a step back at some point and

303
00:13:05,480 --> 00:13:08,280
Speaker 13: assess it and say, there was a lot of good

304
00:13:08,600 --> 00:13:09,280
Speaker 13: in this season.

305
00:13:09,840 --> 00:13:11,840
Speaker 4: You know, only one.

306
00:13:11,640 --> 00:13:14,680
Speaker 17: Team at the end of the year is happy, really

307
00:13:14,760 --> 00:13:17,160
Speaker 17: at the end of the day, right everybody else everyone's

308
00:13:17,240 --> 00:13:19,120
Speaker 17: chasing that everybody's.

309
00:13:18,760 --> 00:13:21,840
Speaker 4: And one team's happy, you know.

310
00:13:22,120 --> 00:13:24,400
Speaker 17: But obviously you look back at things, and you look

311
00:13:24,400 --> 00:13:26,400
Speaker 17: at the things that you want to do better at,

312
00:13:27,080 --> 00:13:28,520
Speaker 17: but you also look at the good, like we're the

313
00:13:28,559 --> 00:13:31,560
Speaker 17: only team that was out of everybody. This speaks to

314
00:13:31,600 --> 00:13:35,719
Speaker 17: the parody that the NFL has, and is is there

315
00:13:35,760 --> 00:13:38,720
Speaker 17: was one team that won back to back divisions and

316
00:13:38,720 --> 00:13:41,480
Speaker 17: it was the Philadelphia Eagles, the first time that happened

317
00:13:41,480 --> 00:13:44,360
Speaker 17: in the NFC East, which is pretty cool because it's

318
00:13:44,520 --> 00:13:46,680
Speaker 17: it's such a competitive league and it's much such a

319
00:13:46,679 --> 00:13:49,760
Speaker 17: competitive conference, and so of course, you know, we have

320
00:13:49,760 --> 00:13:51,080
Speaker 17: two thousand yard receivers.

321
00:13:51,280 --> 00:13:53,360
Speaker 4: You know, we have a thousand yard running back. We

322
00:13:53,400 --> 00:13:54,319
Speaker 4: have a.

323
00:13:54,040 --> 00:13:57,160
Speaker 17: Defense that played lights out, and so there's positives throughout.

324
00:13:58,360 --> 00:14:02,160
Speaker 17: But ultimately, when you don't don't reach, especially when you've

325
00:14:02,160 --> 00:14:06,040
Speaker 17: been on a team the year before of winning at all.

326
00:14:06,040 --> 00:14:07,960
Speaker 4: When you don't reach that, it is it's hard.

327
00:14:08,040 --> 00:14:09,800
Speaker 17: It's hard, you know, it makes it hard, and it

328
00:14:09,840 --> 00:14:11,960
Speaker 17: makes you hungry and makes you want more.

329
00:14:12,040 --> 00:14:15,480
Speaker 4: But we all are a product of the.

330
00:14:15,440 --> 00:14:17,840
Speaker 17: Adversities that we go through, and you can you know,

331
00:14:17,880 --> 00:14:19,760
Speaker 17: and you can use that and and we'll and we

332
00:14:19,800 --> 00:14:21,320
Speaker 17: intend to moving forward.

333
00:14:21,360 --> 00:14:22,920
Speaker 13: You talked about the things you want to do better?

334
00:14:23,640 --> 00:14:26,960
Speaker 13: What give yourself your own exit interview? What would you

335
00:14:27,000 --> 00:14:28,720
Speaker 13: want to do better? What did you what's the biggest

336
00:14:28,800 --> 00:14:30,920
Speaker 13: lesson of twenty five I guess.

337
00:14:30,920 --> 00:14:33,320
Speaker 4: Yeah, you're still going you're still going through that.

338
00:14:33,400 --> 00:14:35,960
Speaker 17: And there's always at the end of each year, there's always,

339
00:14:36,120 --> 00:14:38,120
Speaker 17: you know, lessons to be learned. I think that was

340
00:14:38,160 --> 00:14:40,560
Speaker 17: really important that we did some things as far as

341
00:14:40,680 --> 00:14:43,520
Speaker 17: you know, our offense didn't succeed the way we wanted

342
00:14:43,520 --> 00:14:46,080
Speaker 17: it to succeed this year. So there's change in store,

343
00:14:46,920 --> 00:14:49,960
Speaker 17: and that's the nature of this business. And and so

344
00:14:50,120 --> 00:14:52,280
Speaker 17: looking forward to all the things that we we can

345
00:14:52,400 --> 00:14:54,640
Speaker 17: change and mix into some of the things that we've

346
00:14:54,680 --> 00:14:57,520
Speaker 17: done well and seeing what the new version of this

347
00:14:57,520 --> 00:14:58,600
Speaker 17: this offense is to be.

348
00:14:59,800 --> 00:15:01,920
Speaker 4: But but you know, You're always.

349
00:15:01,560 --> 00:15:05,680
Speaker 17: Constantly trying to do the little things better, right, the detail,

350
00:15:05,880 --> 00:15:09,240
Speaker 17: the togetherness as a football team. You're all every goal

351
00:15:09,760 --> 00:15:11,720
Speaker 17: have every year is to see if you can bring

352
00:15:12,000 --> 00:15:15,680
Speaker 17: a group of guys together, become a team, leave selfish

353
00:15:15,760 --> 00:15:17,760
Speaker 17: ambitions aside, and become a.

354
00:15:17,680 --> 00:15:19,000
Speaker 4: Team a team, a team a team.

355
00:15:19,040 --> 00:15:20,960
Speaker 17: And that's the goal every single year as you go

356
00:15:21,080 --> 00:15:22,880
Speaker 17: through this, and so look forward.

357
00:15:22,720 --> 00:15:24,760
Speaker 4: To that challenge as we continue this again.

358
00:15:24,920 --> 00:15:28,560
Speaker 13: Seun Menu, your new offensive coordinator. I saw as you

359
00:15:28,680 --> 00:15:30,920
Speaker 13: or Howie when you're speaking to the media back in

360
00:15:30,920 --> 00:15:34,160
Speaker 13: Philadelphia mentioned that during his interview process he had cutups

361
00:15:34,440 --> 00:15:36,520
Speaker 13: of stuff that Jalen had done and said, hey, he's

362
00:15:36,520 --> 00:15:38,280
Speaker 13: already done some of the stuff that I want to do.

363
00:15:38,840 --> 00:15:41,000
Speaker 13: Is that usual for an OC interview that to have

364
00:15:41,080 --> 00:15:41,920
Speaker 13: that stuff ready to go?

365
00:15:42,040 --> 00:15:43,920
Speaker 17: I think the ones that you go through it and

366
00:15:43,960 --> 00:15:46,320
Speaker 17: the ones you end up hiring, and yeah, that's you know,

367
00:15:46,480 --> 00:15:48,760
Speaker 17: there's so many things that made us say.

368
00:15:48,560 --> 00:15:52,360
Speaker 4: Hey, Sean is the right guy for this job, and.

369
00:15:53,720 --> 00:15:56,280
Speaker 17: You know, going to Jalen and saying, hey, this is

370
00:15:57,160 --> 00:15:59,760
Speaker 17: Jalen's done such a good job, and some of the

371
00:15:59,760 --> 00:16:03,520
Speaker 17: things that you know, Shawn's vision of the offense is

372
00:16:03,520 --> 00:16:08,000
Speaker 17: like Jalen's been really good at play action pass and

373
00:16:08,160 --> 00:16:09,960
Speaker 17: being able to do that with a run game that

374
00:16:10,000 --> 00:16:12,840
Speaker 17: we hope to have and mix that. You know, we

375
00:16:12,920 --> 00:16:15,760
Speaker 17: know Jalen's really good at that, and so yeah, I

376
00:16:15,760 --> 00:16:16,680
Speaker 17: think that's a great way.

377
00:16:16,840 --> 00:16:19,360
Speaker 4: You know, we're all visual. We want to be able

378
00:16:19,360 --> 00:16:19,800
Speaker 4: to see it.

379
00:16:19,840 --> 00:16:22,640
Speaker 17: And Seawan did a good job of portraying his vision

380
00:16:22,880 --> 00:16:26,480
Speaker 17: not only through words and discussions through an interview portion

381
00:16:26,600 --> 00:16:28,560
Speaker 17: of it, but also through his vision of what it

382
00:16:28,600 --> 00:16:30,640
Speaker 17: looks like on tape. And I think that that brings

383
00:16:30,640 --> 00:16:33,720
Speaker 17: it to life sometimes and Shawn certainly did a good

384
00:16:33,800 --> 00:16:35,240
Speaker 17: job of that through his interview process.

385
00:16:35,360 --> 00:16:37,760
Speaker 13: Last one for you, in a word, getting Lane Johnson

386
00:16:37,800 --> 00:16:40,760
Speaker 13: Beck for twenty twenty six means what wait when you

387
00:16:40,840 --> 00:16:41,600
Speaker 13: found out about it?

388
00:16:41,680 --> 00:16:44,000
Speaker 17: Man, Lane's one of the best players in the NFL,

389
00:16:44,880 --> 00:16:48,000
Speaker 17: not just you know, going into the twenty six season,

390
00:16:48,080 --> 00:16:51,840
Speaker 17: but of all time. And you know the same thing

391
00:16:51,880 --> 00:16:52,080
Speaker 17: with you.

392
00:16:52,080 --> 00:16:53,760
Speaker 4: Know, good football players are hard to find.

393
00:16:53,760 --> 00:16:56,520
Speaker 17: You want as many of them on your team as possible,

394
00:16:56,640 --> 00:16:59,280
Speaker 17: especially a guy who's like Lane, and you know, as

395
00:16:59,320 --> 00:17:02,280
Speaker 17: far as the teammate is, as far as the you know,

396
00:17:02,360 --> 00:17:05,400
Speaker 17: worker that he has all those different things. And so yeah,

397
00:17:05,520 --> 00:17:08,560
Speaker 17: Pump to have him back in the fold, and uh

398
00:17:09,119 --> 00:17:11,399
Speaker 17: looking forward to what this year brings.

399
00:17:11,520 --> 00:17:15,639
Speaker 13: Next Heireoty defending NFC East champion head coach once again.

400
00:17:16,320 --> 00:17:18,920
Speaker 13: See how we highlighted that for you. All right, Table

401
00:17:18,960 --> 00:17:21,119
Speaker 13: for one, two, three, four five. Dom's ready to go.

402
00:17:21,160 --> 00:17:23,399
Speaker 13: Get him a canoli. He can't find a canola in Indianapolis.

403
00:17:23,400 --> 00:17:24,680
Speaker 4: He told me, get him.

404
00:17:24,600 --> 00:17:26,960
Speaker 2: One, Get him a decent one. It's gotta be one

405
00:17:27,119 --> 00:17:28,120
Speaker 2: in the city, all right.

406
00:17:29,280 --> 00:17:31,720
Speaker 1: Tons more to come on this two hour edition of

407
00:17:31,760 --> 00:17:35,360
Speaker 1: The Insiders at the Combine, including the new guy coaching,

408
00:17:35,720 --> 00:17:39,399
Speaker 1: that guy cam work when, plus ridiculous touchdown patches of

409
00:17:39,440 --> 00:17:42,440
Speaker 1: the entire season. Right there, Robert Sola now the head

410
00:17:42,520 --> 00:17:45,520
Speaker 1: man in charge. He's going to join us on the show.

411
00:17:45,560 --> 00:17:48,840
Speaker 1: But coming up after this is a certain GM who

412
00:17:48,920 --> 00:17:51,840
Speaker 1: has some choice words for anybody who thinks he's trading

413
00:17:51,880 --> 00:17:55,480
Speaker 1: his quarterback. How do they really feel, Texas GM, Nick Cassio,

414
00:17:55,960 --> 00:17:57,600
Speaker 1: They just try at better moments than these.

415
00:17:57,680 --> 00:17:59,760
Speaker 4: We'll talk to Caseri about it. Right after this.

416
00:18:00,040 --> 00:18:09,880
Speaker 1: It is The Insiders at the Combine.

417
00:18:10,920 --> 00:18:12,160
Speaker 4: All right. Let's take a look at CJ.

418
00:18:12,280 --> 00:18:14,960
Speaker 18: Stroud. Some of throws from him today. We've been raving

419
00:18:15,000 --> 00:18:19,520
Speaker 18: about his workout. I haven't seen many more consistent workouts

420
00:18:19,560 --> 00:18:20,720
Speaker 18: than what we've seen from CJ.

421
00:18:20,840 --> 00:18:21,199
Speaker 6: Stroud.

422
00:18:21,560 --> 00:18:25,480
Speaker 18: Everything is on balance, under control. That's three really pretty

423
00:18:25,480 --> 00:18:26,240
Speaker 18: balls from CJ.

424
00:18:26,400 --> 00:18:26,800
Speaker 2: Stroud.

425
00:18:27,640 --> 00:18:29,320
Speaker 9: We always fall in love with arm strength.

426
00:18:29,560 --> 00:18:31,840
Speaker 15: Oh that's nice, hey ball.

427
00:18:33,200 --> 00:18:34,920
Speaker 18: You couldn't script a better day for him throwing the

428
00:18:34,920 --> 00:18:35,680
Speaker 18: football today.

429
00:18:36,119 --> 00:18:37,480
Speaker 2: Look at that type spot.

430
00:18:37,520 --> 00:18:40,760
Speaker 12: That's a put on a show at the combine. Put

431
00:18:40,800 --> 00:18:43,240
Speaker 12: on a show his rookie year. A lot to like

432
00:18:43,280 --> 00:18:43,920
Speaker 12: about CJ.

433
00:18:44,040 --> 00:18:44,359
Speaker 2: Stroud.

434
00:18:44,400 --> 00:18:46,480
Speaker 12: A lot of players for this Houston Texan team that

435
00:18:46,600 --> 00:18:50,480
Speaker 12: once again made the playoffs, but there was some other

436
00:18:50,520 --> 00:18:51,040
Speaker 12: stuff too.

437
00:18:51,440 --> 00:18:53,040
Speaker 3: Not a great end of the season.

438
00:18:53,640 --> 00:18:56,840
Speaker 12: Interception happy in the playoffs for sure, led to some

439
00:18:57,080 --> 00:19:02,040
Speaker 12: I would say, at least questions about croud status. Nick Casearro,

440
00:19:02,160 --> 00:19:05,399
Speaker 12: the Houston Texans general manager, and I spoke earlier today

441
00:19:05,400 --> 00:19:07,720
Speaker 12: about that and a little bit more I make it's

442
00:19:07,720 --> 00:19:10,440
Speaker 12: been a couple of weeks since season end, a couple

443
00:19:10,480 --> 00:19:12,880
Speaker 12: of months, actually had some time to reflect a lot

444
00:19:12,880 --> 00:19:15,760
Speaker 12: of success. Obviously didn't end as you wanted. What do

445
00:19:15,760 --> 00:19:18,399
Speaker 12: you take away most from last season?

446
00:19:18,720 --> 00:19:21,040
Speaker 9: Yeah, honestly, proud of the season accomplished.

447
00:19:21,040 --> 00:19:23,879
Speaker 19: A lot didn't start well and it could have very

448
00:19:23,880 --> 00:19:26,000
Speaker 19: easily kind of gone off the tracks, cause I think

449
00:19:26,000 --> 00:19:28,440
Speaker 19: it speaks to the player, it speaks to Domico's leadership.

450
00:19:29,040 --> 00:19:31,600
Speaker 19: Put ourselves in a position where we had an opportunity

451
00:19:31,800 --> 00:19:34,600
Speaker 19: at the end there to even put ourselves in a

452
00:19:34,640 --> 00:19:37,720
Speaker 19: better situation. Ultimately didn't play well enough, and you know,

453
00:19:37,760 --> 00:19:40,080
Speaker 19: the season's going to end for basically every team in

454
00:19:40,080 --> 00:19:42,399
Speaker 19: the league other than one, but overall, did a lot

455
00:19:42,440 --> 00:19:44,639
Speaker 19: of good things, got a lot of production from a

456
00:19:44,640 --> 00:19:47,560
Speaker 19: lot of different players, made a lot of progress, continue

457
00:19:47,600 --> 00:19:50,320
Speaker 19: to move the program in the right direction. You know,

458
00:19:50,359 --> 00:19:52,919
Speaker 19: we've accomplished some things this year that hadn't been accomplished

459
00:19:52,960 --> 00:19:55,199
Speaker 19: in the history of the organization. So the fact that

460
00:19:55,240 --> 00:19:57,520
Speaker 19: we put ourselves in this position is a good spot

461
00:19:57,560 --> 00:19:59,119
Speaker 19: to be in. Now we've got to see if we

462
00:19:59,160 --> 00:20:00,720
Speaker 19: can continue to improve and build on some of the

463
00:20:00,720 --> 00:20:01,400
Speaker 19: things that we've done.

464
00:20:01,600 --> 00:20:05,720
Speaker 12: You're talking before we got on air about CJ the

465
00:20:05,760 --> 00:20:08,840
Speaker 12: suggestion that he would be traded, which you know, I

466
00:20:08,840 --> 00:20:10,639
Speaker 12: don't know where that came from, but I appreciate you.

467
00:20:10,600 --> 00:20:12,560
Speaker 19: That's what you have two guys doing the media, so

468
00:20:12,600 --> 00:20:14,920
Speaker 19: I don't know where it all comes from.

469
00:20:13,720 --> 00:20:19,119
Speaker 12: Yeah, CJ was quoted as basically saying that he's not

470
00:20:19,280 --> 00:20:21,880
Speaker 12: thankful is the wrong word, but he appreciates the struggles

471
00:20:21,920 --> 00:20:24,040
Speaker 12: that he had because it gave him some time to

472
00:20:24,119 --> 00:20:26,679
Speaker 12: reflect and focus in. What do you see his focus

473
00:20:26,720 --> 00:20:29,440
Speaker 12: being this offseason for how to kind of get things right?

474
00:20:29,960 --> 00:20:32,160
Speaker 19: Yeah, I mean, honestly, just have a good offseason, kind

475
00:20:32,160 --> 00:20:34,600
Speaker 19: of reflect on what happened during the course of the season.

476
00:20:34,680 --> 00:20:37,159
Speaker 2: But ultimately is move on and move forward.

477
00:20:37,800 --> 00:20:37,960
Speaker 15: You know.

478
00:20:37,960 --> 00:20:40,160
Speaker 19: I think sometimes we all internalize things when he don't

479
00:20:40,160 --> 00:20:41,960
Speaker 19: go well, but I think honestly, sometimes we learn the

480
00:20:41,960 --> 00:20:44,920
Speaker 19: most when things aren't at their best. I mean, this

481
00:20:45,000 --> 00:20:46,520
Speaker 19: league is about you're gonna to deal with challenge, You're

482
00:20:46,520 --> 00:20:48,639
Speaker 19: gonna deal with adversity. All of us in life are

483
00:20:48,680 --> 00:20:50,399
Speaker 19: gonna have to deal with things that don't go the

484
00:20:50,440 --> 00:20:52,479
Speaker 19: way that you know, we expect them to go. So

485
00:20:52,800 --> 00:20:54,679
Speaker 19: if you learn from them, that's the most important thing.

486
00:20:54,800 --> 00:20:57,120
Speaker 19: So he's a good kid, got a good heart, and honestly,

487
00:20:57,320 --> 00:20:59,479
Speaker 19: he's only twenty four years old, so he's still a

488
00:20:59,520 --> 00:21:01,399
Speaker 19: young forever and he's played a.

489
00:21:01,359 --> 00:21:01,879
Speaker 15: Lot of football.

490
00:21:02,320 --> 00:21:04,080
Speaker 19: So I think if we can learn and just focus

491
00:21:04,080 --> 00:21:06,640
Speaker 19: on improvement and just having a good offseason, can't ask

492
00:21:06,680 --> 00:21:07,439
Speaker 19: for anything more than that.

493
00:21:07,680 --> 00:21:10,879
Speaker 12: You have a couple big time big name players up

494
00:21:10,920 --> 00:21:12,160
Speaker 12: for contract extensions.

495
00:21:12,160 --> 00:21:14,080
Speaker 3: He's one, will Anderson.

496
00:21:13,720 --> 00:21:14,120
Speaker 4: Is the other.

497
00:21:15,400 --> 00:21:20,080
Speaker 12: Feels to me like Will would be the more immediate situation.

498
00:21:20,480 --> 00:21:24,399
Speaker 4: Where do those stand? And you know, those guys were.

499
00:21:24,240 --> 00:21:26,639
Speaker 12: Taken back to back and you know, a flurry up

500
00:21:26,760 --> 00:21:28,440
Speaker 12: draft trades.

501
00:21:28,680 --> 00:21:29,680
Speaker 2: That's so we do around here.

502
00:21:29,760 --> 00:21:32,320
Speaker 12: That was a fun one. That was a fun one.

503
00:21:33,320 --> 00:21:34,760
Speaker 12: You know, those guys are two of the faces of

504
00:21:34,760 --> 00:21:36,400
Speaker 12: your franchise. How do you see this all working out?

505
00:21:36,480 --> 00:21:38,800
Speaker 19: Yeah, I'd say honestly, and those are always fluid, so

506
00:21:38,880 --> 00:21:41,720
Speaker 19: there's never a timetable on any of that. So at

507
00:21:41,720 --> 00:21:44,320
Speaker 19: some point there'll probably be some discussions in some capacity.

508
00:21:44,359 --> 00:21:46,040
Speaker 19: So we'll kind of work through the process and if

509
00:21:46,080 --> 00:21:47,800
Speaker 19: we get to an endpoint grade if we don't, we

510
00:21:47,920 --> 00:21:48,280
Speaker 19: just kind.

511
00:21:48,160 --> 00:21:49,040
Speaker 2: Of keep moving forward.

512
00:21:49,080 --> 00:21:50,679
Speaker 4: But those are two good players.

513
00:21:50,680 --> 00:21:52,560
Speaker 19: We've got a number of other players and I would

514
00:21:52,560 --> 00:21:55,560
Speaker 19: say different category but similar in some situations.

515
00:21:56,000 --> 00:21:57,240
Speaker 4: Defense on defense.

516
00:21:57,280 --> 00:21:58,679
Speaker 2: So we'll just kind of work through it here. And

517
00:21:58,680 --> 00:21:59,920
Speaker 2: that's what the off season is all about.

518
00:22:00,320 --> 00:22:02,960
Speaker 12: You know, we're here at the Scott and Combine and

519
00:22:02,960 --> 00:22:05,199
Speaker 12: we're about to go watch these players run and all that.

520
00:22:05,280 --> 00:22:06,879
Speaker 3: And you know, you've done this a.

521
00:22:06,880 --> 00:22:09,480
Speaker 12: Couple of times, a lot of the draft picks you've taken,

522
00:22:09,640 --> 00:22:11,520
Speaker 12: especially on defense or some of the guys who've been

523
00:22:11,560 --> 00:22:16,040
Speaker 12: part of a absolutely dominant unit. You guys were very,

524
00:22:16,119 --> 00:22:18,359
Speaker 12: very good. As I said, you took a lot of

525
00:22:18,359 --> 00:22:21,399
Speaker 12: those guys. Which of the guys surprised you the show, Like,

526
00:22:21,400 --> 00:22:22,280
Speaker 12: were any guys.

527
00:22:22,040 --> 00:22:23,480
Speaker 4: You took where You're like, I thought.

528
00:22:23,359 --> 00:22:24,520
Speaker 12: He'd be good, But I did think you'd be this

529
00:22:24,560 --> 00:22:26,800
Speaker 12: good or I didn't think like, you know, because you don't.

530
00:22:26,840 --> 00:22:28,560
Speaker 12: You don't get to finished product when you're getting it

531
00:22:28,560 --> 00:22:29,000
Speaker 12: out on the.

532
00:22:28,920 --> 00:22:29,600
Speaker 4: Field for sure.

533
00:22:29,680 --> 00:22:32,240
Speaker 19: I mean, honestly, I mean, I think Kamari is probably

534
00:22:32,400 --> 00:22:34,520
Speaker 19: falls into that situation. I mean, now he was here,

535
00:22:34,520 --> 00:22:35,960
Speaker 19: I don't even think he ran here, but then he

536
00:22:36,040 --> 00:22:38,359
Speaker 19: ran at his pro day, but he ran a slow time.

537
00:22:38,560 --> 00:22:41,680
Speaker 19: But he's emerged into one of the best corners in

538
00:22:41,720 --> 00:22:42,119
Speaker 19: the league.

539
00:22:42,119 --> 00:22:42,280
Speaker 20: Now.

540
00:22:42,280 --> 00:22:43,600
Speaker 19: When we took him, we felt he was going to

541
00:22:43,640 --> 00:22:44,919
Speaker 19: be a good player. I'm not going to sit here

542
00:22:44,960 --> 00:22:46,199
Speaker 19: and tell you like, well, we knew he was going

543
00:22:46,280 --> 00:22:49,359
Speaker 19: to be this level good. But he's everything that you

544
00:22:49,440 --> 00:22:52,160
Speaker 19: want in a football player. You know, we're fortunate. I mean,

545
00:22:52,200 --> 00:22:55,080
Speaker 19: i'd say Henry to Withtoe was another player who wasn't

546
00:22:55,080 --> 00:22:57,960
Speaker 19: really talked about that much. But he's been a very consistent,

547
00:22:58,119 --> 00:23:00,200
Speaker 19: very productive player in our program.

548
00:23:00,240 --> 00:23:01,000
Speaker 4: And we're fortunate.

549
00:23:01,040 --> 00:23:02,439
Speaker 19: We feel like we got a lot of good dudes,

550
00:23:02,440 --> 00:23:04,800
Speaker 19: a lot of good people in our building, and the

551
00:23:04,840 --> 00:23:06,720
Speaker 19: goal is to continue to build a building, fill the

552
00:23:06,760 --> 00:23:08,200
Speaker 19: building with similar types.

553
00:23:08,560 --> 00:23:10,919
Speaker 12: You always want to add in the offseason and you know,

554
00:23:11,240 --> 00:23:14,160
Speaker 12: say it's back to offense a little bit, add some playmakers.

555
00:23:14,440 --> 00:23:17,600
Speaker 12: You have one who didn't play last year. Where does

556
00:23:17,640 --> 00:23:20,080
Speaker 12: it stand with Tank Dell? I mean, so you see

557
00:23:20,119 --> 00:23:22,440
Speaker 12: someone you expect to come in and contribute.

558
00:23:22,080 --> 00:23:22,720
Speaker 2: Yeah, we'll see.

559
00:23:22,760 --> 00:23:26,200
Speaker 19: I mean he he sustained a pretty horrible injury there

560
00:23:26,200 --> 00:23:28,440
Speaker 19: in the playoffs a couple years ago. It's against Kansas City,

561
00:23:28,440 --> 00:23:30,520
Speaker 19: and kind of this season was kind of a wash.

562
00:23:30,560 --> 00:23:32,160
Speaker 2: So but it's had a good attitude.

563
00:23:32,480 --> 00:23:34,840
Speaker 19: He's in the building every day, he's preparing for the

564
00:23:34,880 --> 00:23:37,400
Speaker 19: offseason program. So I think it's important just to kind

565
00:23:37,440 --> 00:23:40,040
Speaker 19: of take incremental steps. First step will be to get

566
00:23:40,080 --> 00:23:41,760
Speaker 19: him on the field kind of the off season program,

567
00:23:41,760 --> 00:23:43,480
Speaker 19: getting to move around, and then kind of the next

568
00:23:43,480 --> 00:23:47,120
Speaker 19: step will be all right, working against maybe a defender across.

569
00:23:46,840 --> 00:23:48,480
Speaker 9: From him, a little more football related.

570
00:23:48,560 --> 00:23:51,400
Speaker 19: So we'll see. I mean, he's making progress. I think

571
00:23:51,400 --> 00:23:53,640
Speaker 19: We're coustously optimistic, but not going to put any time

572
00:23:53,640 --> 00:23:54,119
Speaker 19: tables on that.

573
00:23:54,280 --> 00:23:59,240
Speaker 12: All Right, last thing, the free agent window, temporary window

574
00:23:59,280 --> 00:24:00,880
Speaker 12: is in a wheel little more than a week.

575
00:24:01,240 --> 00:24:03,520
Speaker 4: It's probably already started, probably already started.

576
00:24:03,720 --> 00:24:05,800
Speaker 12: Sure, how busy am I going to be for the

577
00:24:06,080 --> 00:24:07,440
Speaker 12: Texans related news?

578
00:24:07,840 --> 00:24:09,720
Speaker 19: We'll see We always keep everybody on their toes, so

579
00:24:09,840 --> 00:24:12,680
Speaker 19: I'm sure there'd be something we're not talking about that's

580
00:24:12,680 --> 00:24:14,359
Speaker 19: going to happen, So just stay tuned.

581
00:24:14,440 --> 00:24:16,399
Speaker 4: Pray for me. Thanks, Thanks, Ian.

582
00:24:19,119 --> 00:24:19,439
Speaker 15: Lamar.

583
00:24:19,640 --> 00:24:22,199
Speaker 2: He's the most electrifying athlete in this draft.

584
00:24:22,480 --> 00:24:24,600
Speaker 21: Some people around the leaguers heent he's a wide receiver.

585
00:24:25,080 --> 00:24:26,120
Speaker 21: I think he's a quarterback.

586
00:24:26,280 --> 00:24:28,280
Speaker 2: Get starts to what he does with his legs.

587
00:24:28,320 --> 00:24:30,879
Speaker 17: The challenge will be who's a head coach who wants

588
00:24:30,920 --> 00:24:32,480
Speaker 17: to work with this kind of kid.

589
00:24:32,400 --> 00:24:34,960
Speaker 2: That looked an effortless when he's gone sixty.

590
00:24:34,880 --> 00:24:36,359
Speaker 3: Ye, he's just a game and he's.

591
00:24:36,200 --> 00:24:38,800
Speaker 21: Going to be a first round quarterback, now starting quarterback,

592
00:24:39,080 --> 00:24:40,560
Speaker 21: and a guy that's going to take us to the

593
00:24:40,640 --> 00:24:43,480
Speaker 21: next level with money and throwing quarterbacks in the NFL.

594
00:24:45,800 --> 00:24:49,160
Speaker 1: Eight years and two NFL MVPs later, Lamar Jackson now

595
00:24:49,280 --> 00:24:52,919
Speaker 1: up for a third contract with the Ravens GM. Eric

596
00:24:53,000 --> 00:24:55,280
Speaker 1: Deacosta said earlier in the offseason he hoped to have

597
00:24:55,320 --> 00:24:56,840
Speaker 1: it in place before free agency.

598
00:24:57,160 --> 00:24:58,200
Speaker 2: Where do we stand.

599
00:24:57,960 --> 00:25:00,760
Speaker 22: There, Lamar and I have an agreement we handle business

600
00:25:00,800 --> 00:25:04,080
Speaker 22: kind of in house internally, as you'all though. That worked

601
00:25:04,119 --> 00:25:06,480
Speaker 22: well for us the last time, and we will continue

602
00:25:06,520 --> 00:25:09,800
Speaker 22: to have that policy moving forward. Have spoken to Lamar

603
00:25:10,440 --> 00:25:12,680
Speaker 22: by a lot of different things over the last month.

604
00:25:13,480 --> 00:25:16,720
Speaker 22: He's been very engaged. As I said, he was a

605
00:25:16,720 --> 00:25:19,720
Speaker 22: big value to us in the coaching search. But we'll

606
00:25:19,760 --> 00:25:21,480
Speaker 22: continue those conversations moving forward.

607
00:25:21,800 --> 00:25:24,720
Speaker 23: Eric, last time you guys went through negotiation, obviously you

608
00:25:24,760 --> 00:25:28,400
Speaker 23: spoke about how challenging it was and so forth. Different now,

609
00:25:28,480 --> 00:25:32,680
Speaker 23: but are you confident that you know you'll be able

610
00:25:32,720 --> 00:25:35,679
Speaker 23: to work something out, whether that's an extension, whether that's

611
00:25:35,920 --> 00:25:37,120
Speaker 23: reworking the current deal.

612
00:25:38,080 --> 00:25:39,840
Speaker 15: I am, I am, I definitely am.

613
00:25:40,400 --> 00:25:43,000
Speaker 1: Welcome back to the insiders at the combine. Tom Pilicero,

614
00:25:43,080 --> 00:25:47,000
Speaker 1: Ian Rapport, Mike Garrifalo, Judy Batiste. Mike, We've heard Eric

615
00:25:47,040 --> 00:25:50,639
Speaker 1: Tacasta use similar language and at times in the past.

616
00:25:50,680 --> 00:25:52,920
Speaker 1: Here it's not like he's going into a contract here.

617
00:25:52,960 --> 00:25:55,000
Speaker 1: They clearly want to reward him get ahead of.

618
00:25:54,920 --> 00:25:56,840
Speaker 13: The market where to think, Sandra get ahead of the

619
00:25:56,840 --> 00:25:59,600
Speaker 13: market and manage the salary cap implications for the next

620
00:25:59,600 --> 00:26:00,000
Speaker 13: couple of year.

621
00:26:00,200 --> 00:26:01,040
Speaker 2: That's a big part of it.

622
00:26:01,160 --> 00:26:03,200
Speaker 13: And that last question there was a good question because

623
00:26:03,480 --> 00:26:06,359
Speaker 13: the two sides have had the experience before, and that's

624
00:26:07,040 --> 00:26:09,440
Speaker 13: part of the optimism on this one from my sense.

625
00:26:09,480 --> 00:26:11,320
Speaker 13: I mean, it doesn't necessarily mean that it's going to

626
00:26:11,359 --> 00:26:14,400
Speaker 13: be a slam dunk, but Lamar Jackson, having done this

627
00:26:14,480 --> 00:26:17,400
Speaker 13: already and having been his own agent and having gone

628
00:26:17,400 --> 00:26:20,760
Speaker 13: through the process once before, certainly gives him a blueprint

629
00:26:20,800 --> 00:26:22,800
Speaker 13: and gives them a blueprint for the understanding of how

630
00:26:22,800 --> 00:26:24,600
Speaker 13: it's going to work and how the communication is going

631
00:26:24,640 --> 00:26:25,119
Speaker 13: to be Judy.

632
00:26:25,560 --> 00:26:28,119
Speaker 11: The best possible scenario is they get this done in

633
00:26:28,160 --> 00:26:31,119
Speaker 11: the next week or so, because that would lower the

634
00:26:31,160 --> 00:26:34,400
Speaker 11: salary cap number and that would obviously help them throughout

635
00:26:34,640 --> 00:26:35,480
Speaker 11: the rest of their free.

636
00:26:35,320 --> 00:26:36,879
Speaker 10: Agency throughout the rest of the season.

637
00:26:37,440 --> 00:26:39,680
Speaker 11: Steve Bushatti has made it clear that if they can't

638
00:26:39,720 --> 00:26:43,280
Speaker 11: get an extension done that they would simply restructure the contract,

639
00:26:43,280 --> 00:26:45,919
Speaker 11: which is obviously not as ideal a solution, but it

640
00:26:46,040 --> 00:26:49,880
Speaker 11: is some sort of patchwork solution in any event. It's

641
00:26:50,040 --> 00:26:53,320
Speaker 11: needless to say Lamar Jackson is going absolutely nowhere except

642
00:26:53,359 --> 00:26:54,280
Speaker 11: right back to Baltimore.

643
00:26:54,440 --> 00:26:56,480
Speaker 3: It's gonna be really interesting to see where this one

644
00:26:56,560 --> 00:26:57,000
Speaker 3: comes in.

645
00:26:57,080 --> 00:27:00,000
Speaker 12: Does it hit the sixties and more like the Josh

646
00:27:00,040 --> 00:27:04,199
Speaker 12: Allen of fifty five? Where does this come in for

647
00:27:04,440 --> 00:27:07,640
Speaker 12: Lamar Jackson? And you're right, the timing is important here

648
00:27:07,640 --> 00:27:09,479
Speaker 12: because they have a couple of big free agents that

649
00:27:09,480 --> 00:27:11,920
Speaker 12: they would like to bring back Isaia. Likely we'll see

650
00:27:11,920 --> 00:27:14,680
Speaker 12: if he's actually back, Tyer Lindenbaum, maybe the best center

651
00:27:14,720 --> 00:27:17,280
Speaker 12: in Fringe. He could a clips twenty million dollars on

652
00:27:17,400 --> 00:27:20,520
Speaker 12: his deal. They're going to need the cap space to

653
00:27:20,640 --> 00:27:22,840
Speaker 12: do that one. So yes, getting a deal done with

654
00:27:22,960 --> 00:27:25,120
Speaker 12: Lamar soon would be important.

655
00:27:25,119 --> 00:27:27,480
Speaker 1: It wasn't quite Josh Allen sitting in on the head

656
00:27:27,480 --> 00:27:30,840
Speaker 1: coaching interviews, but Lamar jacks was very involved in the process,

657
00:27:31,080 --> 00:27:33,200
Speaker 1: meeting with a bunch of different head coaching candidates, which

658
00:27:33,280 --> 00:27:36,439
Speaker 1: certainly would seem to speak to all highly. They value

659
00:27:36,440 --> 00:27:38,280
Speaker 1: his opinions of all things happening in the organization.

660
00:27:38,359 --> 00:27:41,480
Speaker 11: Judy, let's turn to the Tennessee Titans. We saw some

661
00:27:41,920 --> 00:27:45,760
Speaker 11: great things, great moments out of rookie quarterback cam Ward.

662
00:27:45,800 --> 00:27:48,480
Speaker 11: While there is a whole lot of new in Tennessee

663
00:27:48,520 --> 00:27:50,800
Speaker 11: now a new head coach. She's going to have a

664
00:27:50,840 --> 00:27:53,320
Speaker 11: new offensive coordinator. They've got a whole lot of money

665
00:27:53,359 --> 00:27:55,920
Speaker 11: to spend this offseason, so there could be a whole

666
00:27:56,000 --> 00:27:57,200
Speaker 11: lot of new guys on the roster.

667
00:27:57,320 --> 00:27:59,119
Speaker 10: Here's Robert Sola caught up with him today.

668
00:27:59,440 --> 00:28:02,680
Speaker 11: Robert, welcome back to see you're back as a head coach.

669
00:28:02,960 --> 00:28:06,000
Speaker 10: You had the one year as a defensive coordinator. In between.

670
00:28:06,760 --> 00:28:07,360
Speaker 10: What did you learn?

671
00:28:07,440 --> 00:28:09,679
Speaker 11: You had a year to reflect, Like, what might you

672
00:28:09,760 --> 00:28:12,080
Speaker 11: do differently that maybe you didn't do with the Jets

673
00:28:12,080 --> 00:28:13,720
Speaker 11: that you've learned about since then?

674
00:28:14,800 --> 00:28:19,520
Speaker 24: Obviously, you know, like I feel redundant, but you know,

675
00:28:19,560 --> 00:28:23,000
Speaker 24: there's no handbook for first time in any profession, you know,

676
00:28:23,200 --> 00:28:25,840
Speaker 24: Like I'll bring the question back to you, like, I'm

677
00:28:25,840 --> 00:28:27,440
Speaker 24: sure you look back at your first day on the

678
00:28:27,520 --> 00:28:30,120
Speaker 24: job and you probably laugh at some of the things

679
00:28:30,119 --> 00:28:32,639
Speaker 24: that you did, and you've you've evolved so much that

680
00:28:32,680 --> 00:28:35,920
Speaker 24: you're obviously more prepared now than you ever learned. Kind

681
00:28:35,920 --> 00:28:38,360
Speaker 24: Of in that same mold, you know, there's a lot

682
00:28:38,400 --> 00:28:40,160
Speaker 24: of things that I learned. I'm more prepared now than

683
00:28:40,200 --> 00:28:44,120
Speaker 24: I ever was, and there's things that for my Jets

684
00:28:44,160 --> 00:28:47,000
Speaker 24: tenure that I'm so appreciative of and I felt like

685
00:28:47,080 --> 00:28:48,800
Speaker 24: we did really well. There's things that I'm going to

686
00:28:48,880 --> 00:28:51,120
Speaker 24: leave behind, and obviously there's things that I'm stilling to

687
00:28:51,160 --> 00:28:55,360
Speaker 24: continue to grow from. So you know, the to get

688
00:28:55,360 --> 00:28:58,040
Speaker 24: specific with a list would be a disservice, but I

689
00:28:58,280 --> 00:29:01,080
Speaker 24: can assure you that you know, going through that experience,

690
00:29:01,120 --> 00:29:02,560
Speaker 24: there's a lot of things that we're learned and a

691
00:29:02,600 --> 00:29:04,320
Speaker 24: lot of things that will continue to grow from.

692
00:29:05,040 --> 00:29:07,800
Speaker 11: You are in a pretty good spot now because your

693
00:29:07,840 --> 00:29:10,200
Speaker 11: team has a whole lot of salary, camp space, You've

694
00:29:10,200 --> 00:29:12,640
Speaker 11: got a high draft pick, so you can really look

695
00:29:12,640 --> 00:29:14,959
Speaker 11: at the off season and do an awful lot if

696
00:29:14,960 --> 00:29:16,760
Speaker 11: you want to turn over the roster. When you look

697
00:29:16,760 --> 00:29:19,040
Speaker 11: at the landscape and look at where your team is

698
00:29:19,160 --> 00:29:21,240
Speaker 11: right now, what are your priorities going into.

699
00:29:21,120 --> 00:29:21,680
Speaker 10: The off season?

700
00:29:21,840 --> 00:29:24,880
Speaker 24: You know what, it's an exciting opportunity. Obviously it's a

701
00:29:24,920 --> 00:29:28,080
Speaker 24: blank canvas. We're really excited about Cam and his development

702
00:29:28,160 --> 00:29:30,840
Speaker 24: and what he's going to what we think he can

703
00:29:30,880 --> 00:29:35,240
Speaker 24: turn into. And you know, we've got tremendous support from

704
00:29:35,280 --> 00:29:38,800
Speaker 24: ownership and obviously Mark Workonzi's fantastic at his job with

705
00:29:38,880 --> 00:29:41,480
Speaker 24: him and his staff, and feel great about the staff

706
00:29:41,480 --> 00:29:43,640
Speaker 24: that we put together. It's just it's really just attacking

707
00:29:43,720 --> 00:29:45,320
Speaker 24: day to day and just trying to find ways to

708
00:29:45,320 --> 00:29:49,160
Speaker 24: get better, both one from from a schematic standpoint, obviously

709
00:29:49,200 --> 00:29:52,240
Speaker 24: from a personnel standpoint, and just the way we operate

710
00:29:52,280 --> 00:29:54,480
Speaker 24: day to day, just finding ways to get better and

711
00:29:54,160 --> 00:29:57,800
Speaker 24: to bring ourselves into the upper echelon of the NFL.

712
00:29:58,080 --> 00:30:01,000
Speaker 11: Are there areas of the roster you're Chicilla, we focused

713
00:30:01,000 --> 00:30:02,600
Speaker 11: on that you think need to be worked on.

714
00:30:02,880 --> 00:30:07,160
Speaker 24: Now you know what it's. You have your general ideas.

715
00:30:07,760 --> 00:30:10,560
Speaker 24: But but just like the players learning us, we're going

716
00:30:10,640 --> 00:30:13,320
Speaker 24: to be learning our players. So really excited to get

717
00:30:13,320 --> 00:30:16,440
Speaker 24: these guys in April and and just just learn from

718
00:30:16,440 --> 00:30:18,640
Speaker 24: one another, learn what we have as a continue to

719
00:30:18,680 --> 00:30:22,239
Speaker 24: learn the system and and learning the things that we

720
00:30:22,320 --> 00:30:24,920
Speaker 24: need to do to tweak our systems to put our

721
00:30:24,920 --> 00:30:27,600
Speaker 24: players in the best positions possible. But you know, we're

722
00:30:27,720 --> 00:30:30,360
Speaker 24: we're always going to look at every single position, every

723
00:30:30,400 --> 00:30:34,200
Speaker 24: facet of our organization. Whether it's players, whether it's how

724
00:30:34,200 --> 00:30:36,000
Speaker 24: we operate, it doesn't matter. We're going to try to

725
00:30:36,000 --> 00:30:38,560
Speaker 24: find ways to get better. So the pinpoint into one

726
00:30:38,640 --> 00:30:42,640
Speaker 24: part of the ball or one position, would i'd be

727
00:30:42,640 --> 00:30:43,080
Speaker 24: a idea?

728
00:30:43,800 --> 00:30:46,440
Speaker 11: You said, you're really excited about Cam and developing him

729
00:30:46,480 --> 00:30:47,600
Speaker 11: into everything he can be.

730
00:30:47,680 --> 00:30:48,360
Speaker 10: What can he be?

731
00:30:49,560 --> 00:30:51,240
Speaker 24: He can be as good as as he wants to be.

732
00:30:51,440 --> 00:30:53,840
Speaker 24: I think anybody can. I think when you look at

733
00:30:53,880 --> 00:30:55,880
Speaker 24: a guy like Cam, and again I've only had a

734
00:30:55,880 --> 00:30:59,440
Speaker 24: couple months of exposure to him, you know he is

735
00:30:59,520 --> 00:31:03,680
Speaker 24: he is a relentless worker. The game is obviously very

736
00:31:03,760 --> 00:31:06,520
Speaker 24: very important to him. He's he's such an authentic person.

737
00:31:06,560 --> 00:31:08,280
Speaker 24: I just find it hard to believe that people with

738
00:31:08,360 --> 00:31:11,600
Speaker 24: that mental makeup fail, you know, and you know a

739
00:31:11,640 --> 00:31:15,520
Speaker 24: guy like him that that that that finds value and work,

740
00:31:16,480 --> 00:31:20,320
Speaker 24: they usually find success. And so just again he's another

741
00:31:21,000 --> 00:31:22,640
Speaker 24: one of the guys, just like the rest of the

742
00:31:22,880 --> 00:31:25,680
Speaker 24: ninety man rosters rebuild it. Just excited to get to

743
00:31:25,720 --> 00:31:27,400
Speaker 24: work with him and see where he can take it.

744
00:31:28,040 --> 00:31:31,360
Speaker 11: We saw this season a number of teams with first

745
00:31:31,440 --> 00:31:34,960
Speaker 11: year head coaches turn things around very quickly, make it

746
00:31:35,000 --> 00:31:37,240
Speaker 11: to the playoffs, in the case of the Patriots, make

747
00:31:37,240 --> 00:31:37,560
Speaker 11: it all.

748
00:31:37,480 --> 00:31:38,440
Speaker 10: The way to the Super Bowl.

749
00:31:38,840 --> 00:31:42,040
Speaker 11: Are there things that you saw those teams do or

750
00:31:42,640 --> 00:31:45,920
Speaker 11: maybe commonalities among those teams that can apply to the

751
00:31:45,960 --> 00:31:47,320
Speaker 11: Titan situation.

752
00:31:47,040 --> 00:31:49,160
Speaker 10: That you can get this turned very quickly.

753
00:31:49,480 --> 00:31:52,720
Speaker 24: Yeah, you know, there's the one common the nominator, I

754
00:31:52,720 --> 00:31:54,840
Speaker 24: would say with all of them, you know, you you

755
00:31:55,360 --> 00:32:00,600
Speaker 24: take you take the the energy from OTAs and training camp,

756
00:32:00,680 --> 00:32:03,560
Speaker 24: and you had that immediate success early in the season.

757
00:32:04,320 --> 00:32:07,800
Speaker 24: And it's amazing what confidence does for you. And you know,

758
00:32:08,040 --> 00:32:12,600
Speaker 24: I'll speak specifically Jacksonville, Chicago, New England all started pretty

759
00:32:12,680 --> 00:32:15,200
Speaker 24: darn good. And you get on those runs and you're

760
00:32:15,200 --> 00:32:17,320
Speaker 24: winning those one point games, and you just get more

761
00:32:17,360 --> 00:32:21,560
Speaker 24: and more confident, especially later into the season when you

762
00:32:21,600 --> 00:32:24,120
Speaker 24: know half the team is kind of realizing that their

763
00:32:24,160 --> 00:32:29,040
Speaker 24: season's over, you know. So, so the commonality to all

764
00:32:29,080 --> 00:32:32,960
Speaker 24: of it, now, how they constructed those rosters all very different.

765
00:32:33,000 --> 00:32:33,200
Speaker 15: You know.

766
00:32:34,320 --> 00:32:38,800
Speaker 24: Chicago, you know, for the most part, they were able

767
00:32:38,800 --> 00:32:40,960
Speaker 24: to survive a storm of injuries on defense and had

768
00:32:41,000 --> 00:32:44,520
Speaker 24: an offense that got better and better every single week. Jacksonville,

769
00:32:45,120 --> 00:32:47,479
Speaker 24: you know, they leaned into their defense as the offense

770
00:32:47,520 --> 00:32:51,360
Speaker 24: got better every single week. And then New England just

771
00:32:51,360 --> 00:32:53,680
Speaker 24: just all around just had a really, really a damn

772
00:32:53,720 --> 00:32:57,480
Speaker 24: good season. And you know, so you know, we'll build

773
00:32:57,520 --> 00:32:59,440
Speaker 24: this thing. The best weekend. We're going to bring a

774
00:32:59,440 --> 00:33:01,880
Speaker 24: lot of Jewics out of energy and uh, you know,

775
00:33:02,160 --> 00:33:04,520
Speaker 24: and I'm confident that if we find some early success

776
00:33:04,560 --> 00:33:07,400
Speaker 24: it could parlay into something special. But at the same time,

777
00:33:07,440 --> 00:33:09,560
Speaker 24: and I say that, and I also say that the

778
00:33:09,560 --> 00:33:11,600
Speaker 24: first couple of weeks won't matter. It's about getting better.

779
00:33:11,680 --> 00:33:14,480
Speaker 24: That's the oak cliche. But you know, you look for commonalities.

780
00:33:14,520 --> 00:33:17,200
Speaker 24: It's it's taken the momentum that you've had, as you know,

781
00:33:17,280 --> 00:33:19,120
Speaker 24: just a freshness of a new staff and all that

782
00:33:19,760 --> 00:33:22,320
Speaker 24: parlaying into early success and gaining confidence and taking it

783
00:33:22,320 --> 00:33:22,880
Speaker 24: through the season.

784
00:33:23,200 --> 00:33:24,720
Speaker 10: We're going to be watching it for that fast start.

785
00:33:24,840 --> 00:33:29,840
Speaker 24: Oh yeah, God will thank you so much. Yes, ma'am.

786
00:33:30,240 --> 00:33:32,360
Speaker 2: Was the number one edge rusher in this draft. They

787
00:33:32,440 --> 00:33:34,280
Speaker 2: did eight and Hudginson from Michigan.

788
00:33:35,440 --> 00:33:39,560
Speaker 15: The all time single season sack leader for the Wolverines.

789
00:33:41,000 --> 00:33:41,160
Speaker 25: Eight.

790
00:33:41,280 --> 00:33:42,479
Speaker 2: Hudgson came here to compete.

791
00:33:42,640 --> 00:33:46,400
Speaker 4: You go, you go man, you go full charge.

792
00:33:46,680 --> 00:33:48,840
Speaker 15: He's definitely a plug and plague.

793
00:33:48,520 --> 00:33:51,080
Speaker 4: Guy when he brings an electric game with him.

794
00:33:51,600 --> 00:33:55,400
Speaker 15: One of the best players Michigan's ever seen on defense.

795
00:33:57,240 --> 00:34:01,640
Speaker 26: And listen, if you have house it, I'm skinting mentioned

796
00:34:02,200 --> 00:34:03,360
Speaker 26: I dream from shud.

797
00:34:04,160 --> 00:34:06,280
Speaker 4: Lions fans visit here. That's good.

798
00:34:09,239 --> 00:34:13,719
Speaker 1: Pro Bowl receiver and the hope effective translator. The Lions

799
00:34:13,760 --> 00:34:16,919
Speaker 1: are headed to Munich. I caught up with GM Brad

800
00:34:16,960 --> 00:34:20,560
Speaker 1: Holmes earlier today. Brad, obvious, first question for you, how's

801
00:34:20,560 --> 00:34:26,440
Speaker 1: your German? Not as good as Saint Brown's German? So,

802
00:34:27,040 --> 00:34:31,719
Speaker 1: but no, look, I think it's gonna be a very

803
00:34:31,760 --> 00:34:35,680
Speaker 1: exciting time. We we we obviously have not had an

804
00:34:35,680 --> 00:34:39,520
Speaker 1: international game since we've since bar regime has been here

805
00:34:39,520 --> 00:34:43,160
Speaker 1: in twenty one, so I kind of figured that it

806
00:34:43,239 --> 00:34:47,400
Speaker 1: was coming soon. But but you know, I couldn't be

807
00:34:47,480 --> 00:34:50,400
Speaker 1: more excited about it. Somewhere I've I've never been before,

808
00:34:51,080 --> 00:34:54,400
Speaker 1: but obviously, just like I had had reference Saint Brown

809
00:34:54,600 --> 00:34:57,279
Speaker 1: in his roots, you know, I'm sure that he's he's

810
00:34:57,320 --> 00:34:59,959
Speaker 1: extremely excited. But looking forward to it, You've had about

811
00:35:00,200 --> 00:35:03,120
Speaker 1: six weeks to unpack a season for Alliance team that

812
00:35:03,160 --> 00:35:05,279
Speaker 1: had been you know, on the ascent YEP, that have

813
00:35:05,400 --> 00:35:07,279
Speaker 1: been right there, and then this year obviously, I think

814
00:35:07,320 --> 00:35:09,239
Speaker 1: on any level it's going to be a disappointment.

815
00:35:09,280 --> 00:35:09,520
Speaker 4: YEP.

816
00:35:09,560 --> 00:35:12,440
Speaker 1: As you've unpacked things and figured out how you press forward,

817
00:35:12,719 --> 00:35:14,360
Speaker 1: what are the key points the things you feel like

818
00:35:14,400 --> 00:35:16,719
Speaker 1: you need to address to get everybody back on track.

819
00:35:17,280 --> 00:35:21,280
Speaker 27: Yeah, look, man, you never want to just go back

820
00:35:21,480 --> 00:35:24,680
Speaker 27: in just because as you were doing something. It's like, well,

821
00:35:24,760 --> 00:35:28,440
Speaker 27: it didn't happen this year, so let's go back. It's like, no,

822
00:35:28,600 --> 00:35:31,760
Speaker 27: you actually got to continue to evolve and move forward.

823
00:35:31,840 --> 00:35:35,200
Speaker 27: So those are really the long discussions that we've had

824
00:35:35,280 --> 00:35:39,239
Speaker 27: internally of really just looking at everything top down and

825
00:35:39,360 --> 00:35:42,200
Speaker 27: just seeing like, these are the tweaks and changes that

826
00:35:42,239 --> 00:35:46,439
Speaker 27: we need to make, and we've we've already identified quite

827
00:35:46,480 --> 00:35:49,359
Speaker 27: a bit of them already, but now it's just.

828
00:35:49,280 --> 00:35:52,080
Speaker 4: You know, implementing them, get getting them in motion.

829
00:35:52,200 --> 00:35:54,920
Speaker 27: But but yeah, we just got to find out, you know,

830
00:35:55,719 --> 00:35:58,600
Speaker 27: how can we get back to playing more consistent football

831
00:35:58,760 --> 00:36:02,680
Speaker 27: because the one thing that we did identify this is

832
00:36:02,760 --> 00:36:08,719
Speaker 27: not like the sky's falling wholesale deep surgery. But but

833
00:36:08,719 --> 00:36:11,200
Speaker 27: but there are things that that we that we do

834
00:36:11,320 --> 00:36:14,120
Speaker 27: need to tweak, and I think we've already got.

835
00:36:13,880 --> 00:36:16,040
Speaker 4: Some of them in motion. The coaching staff is certainly

836
00:36:16,120 --> 00:36:16,520
Speaker 4: part of that.

837
00:36:16,640 --> 00:36:19,120
Speaker 1: On offense, you bring in through Pet Sands, the OC,

838
00:36:19,640 --> 00:36:20,680
Speaker 1: Mike Kafka, guys who.

839
00:36:20,560 --> 00:36:22,840
Speaker 4: Have called plays in the league can be additive.

840
00:36:22,920 --> 00:36:25,040
Speaker 1: However, everything ends up working out in terms of the

841
00:36:25,080 --> 00:36:28,160
Speaker 1: actual play calling here, What if anything excites you about

842
00:36:28,200 --> 00:36:30,520
Speaker 1: the way that staff's been constructed, how it can fit

843
00:36:30,600 --> 00:36:33,239
Speaker 1: with pretty talented group on that side of the ball. Yeah, look,

844
00:36:33,640 --> 00:36:35,560
Speaker 1: and that was that was really the cool thing is

845
00:36:35,600 --> 00:36:38,440
Speaker 1: that to get to get a guy like Drew Petsing,

846
00:36:39,600 --> 00:36:41,600
Speaker 1: you know, that kind of checked every.

847
00:36:41,360 --> 00:36:44,400
Speaker 27: Single box that we were looking for. But also like

848
00:36:45,000 --> 00:36:49,000
Speaker 27: keep the continuity, you know, you know, obviously as long

849
00:36:49,040 --> 00:36:52,319
Speaker 27: as Dan is heading the ship. Uh, in terms of

850
00:36:52,480 --> 00:36:56,080
Speaker 27: you know, the staff in general, I think that's always

851
00:36:56,120 --> 00:36:57,600
Speaker 27: going to be a bonus. And make sure that the

852
00:36:57,680 --> 00:37:01,640
Speaker 27: message stays the same and stays consistent. But but you know,

853
00:37:01,719 --> 00:37:05,120
Speaker 27: look to keep majority of the offensive staff intact and

854
00:37:05,239 --> 00:37:09,880
Speaker 27: still bring in Petsing, still bring in a Kafka, you know.

855
00:37:10,120 --> 00:37:13,359
Speaker 27: So you know, really I don't think Jared Golf will

856
00:37:13,360 --> 00:37:15,880
Speaker 27: have to learn a whole new language and all that,

857
00:37:15,960 --> 00:37:19,799
Speaker 27: but obviously it is it's pets and show, you know.

858
00:37:20,000 --> 00:37:20,080
Speaker 15: So.

859
00:37:20,840 --> 00:37:23,200
Speaker 27: But I'm I'm I'm really excited of what he's gonna

860
00:37:23,200 --> 00:37:25,400
Speaker 27: add because he really did check all the box but

861
00:37:25,520 --> 00:37:27,920
Speaker 27: still allowed to keep that same continuity.

862
00:37:28,000 --> 00:37:29,800
Speaker 1: You've had a good problem in recent years, which is

863
00:37:29,840 --> 00:37:31,839
Speaker 1: a lot of really talented young players that you got

864
00:37:31,880 --> 00:37:32,920
Speaker 1: to pay a lot of money for.

865
00:37:33,120 --> 00:37:39,040
Speaker 4: Yep, I got Gibbs, branch Laporta Campbell. Where do you

866
00:37:39,120 --> 00:37:39,560
Speaker 4: start with that?

867
00:37:39,640 --> 00:37:42,319
Speaker 1: And specifically on Gibbs knowing the type of market he

868
00:37:42,440 --> 00:37:44,600
Speaker 1: might have. What's the timeline on trying to get some

869
00:37:44,640 --> 00:37:45,439
Speaker 1: of those things done.

870
00:37:45,680 --> 00:37:48,680
Speaker 27: Yeah, I mean the bottom line is this, we want

871
00:37:48,680 --> 00:37:52,239
Speaker 27: Gibbs here for a long time. You know, he is

872
00:37:52,400 --> 00:37:55,880
Speaker 27: He's truly a centerpiece of our of our offense, of

873
00:37:56,360 --> 00:37:59,759
Speaker 27: our team. So that's really the main thing. In terms

874
00:37:59,800 --> 00:38:03,000
Speaker 27: of timeline, that's still fluid. You know, we'll have we'll

875
00:38:03,000 --> 00:38:08,560
Speaker 27: have talks with his representation starting this week, you know, uh,

876
00:38:08,800 --> 00:38:10,640
Speaker 27: just to kind of kind of get a gauge in

877
00:38:10,719 --> 00:38:13,880
Speaker 27: terms of what that timeline looks like going forward. But uh,

878
00:38:13,960 --> 00:38:17,440
Speaker 27: but he's he's one that you know, he he's earned

879
00:38:17,800 --> 00:38:20,600
Speaker 27: what he's going to get, obviously because he's been a

880
00:38:20,600 --> 00:38:22,000
Speaker 27: great player who wanted to keep him around.

881
00:38:22,160 --> 00:38:24,160
Speaker 1: The last thing for you, you got about eight weeks here

882
00:38:24,600 --> 00:38:27,120
Speaker 1: till the draft. You've done this thing a few times now.

883
00:38:27,520 --> 00:38:29,600
Speaker 1: What are these final eight weeks entailed for you in

884
00:38:29,680 --> 00:38:33,040
Speaker 1: terms of all the information your area scouts have already gathered,

885
00:38:33,280 --> 00:38:35,799
Speaker 1: the pre combined meetings and then trying to hone in

886
00:38:35,840 --> 00:38:37,279
Speaker 1: on those guys because you guys have done a good

887
00:38:37,320 --> 00:38:39,800
Speaker 1: job of identifying these guys are Detroit Lions.

888
00:38:39,840 --> 00:38:41,040
Speaker 4: Yeah, I appreciate that.

889
00:38:41,080 --> 00:38:44,080
Speaker 27: But that's a really good question because I would just

890
00:38:44,480 --> 00:38:47,040
Speaker 27: someone just asked me kind of, you know, a certain

891
00:38:47,080 --> 00:38:49,920
Speaker 27: position group, if that's a strength this year. And in

892
00:38:49,960 --> 00:38:51,880
Speaker 27: the past I've been a little bit more liberal in

893
00:38:52,000 --> 00:38:54,200
Speaker 27: answering that. It's like, oh, yeah, this this year, have

894
00:38:54,239 --> 00:38:58,279
Speaker 27: looked stronger this year, but really I really don't want

895
00:38:58,320 --> 00:39:01,120
Speaker 27: to say that anymore because of all the work that

896
00:39:01,400 --> 00:39:04,400
Speaker 27: entails from this point all the way for the next

897
00:39:04,440 --> 00:39:07,800
Speaker 27: eight weeks, that thing could change. So a position group

898
00:39:07,840 --> 00:39:10,240
Speaker 27: that you might say, man, this looks pretty good. Well,

899
00:39:10,920 --> 00:39:14,000
Speaker 27: so many times that we're in April and mid April

900
00:39:14,040 --> 00:39:16,360
Speaker 27: and we're like, remember seeing that this is a strong

901
00:39:16,400 --> 00:39:18,959
Speaker 27: group back in there the combine, and then it's like, yeah,

902
00:39:19,000 --> 00:39:22,480
Speaker 27: we were. But so much stuff happens where you know,

903
00:39:22,600 --> 00:39:25,440
Speaker 27: and and a lot of that information or the reason

904
00:39:25,480 --> 00:39:30,200
Speaker 27: why that landscape changes it's not public information, but it

905
00:39:30,280 --> 00:39:33,239
Speaker 27: can't change quickly, so that that's a that's that's a

906
00:39:33,280 --> 00:39:36,160
Speaker 27: really good question, but that's happened very often.

907
00:39:36,360 --> 00:39:38,160
Speaker 4: Grant, Yeah, you think so.

908
00:39:40,000 --> 00:39:43,760
Speaker 1: And that's why you come to Indianapolis to continue gathering

909
00:39:43,840 --> 00:39:49,000
Speaker 1: that information and also to see some weird neon dancing.

910
00:39:49,200 --> 00:39:52,680
Speaker 2: Those things are very weird. I don't know what that

911
00:39:52,880 --> 00:39:55,160
Speaker 2: is or where it is. I'll find out after the show.

912
00:39:55,200 --> 00:39:56,880
Speaker 2: We got a lot more to come further uptown.

913
00:40:10,320 --> 00:40:13,359
Speaker 13: Coaches and decision makers here in Indianapolis hoping to find

914
00:40:13,400 --> 00:40:15,480
Speaker 13: a player that have the kind of impact on a

915
00:40:15,520 --> 00:40:18,000
Speaker 13: franchise the Peyton Manning had on the Cults. Good luck

916
00:40:18,000 --> 00:40:22,720
Speaker 13: with that one. They are sifting through the prospects. Nonetheless.

917
00:40:22,760 --> 00:40:26,960
Speaker 13: This week here is You're Scouting Combine presented by Microsoft Copilot,

918
00:40:27,400 --> 00:40:30,279
Speaker 13: where a dream that starts small can get big and

919
00:40:30,320 --> 00:40:32,280
Speaker 13: a name that's unknown can become the future.

920
00:40:32,520 --> 00:40:33,520
Speaker 2: Next is here.

921
00:40:33,560 --> 00:40:36,959
Speaker 13: The twenty twenty six NFL Combined February twenty sixth through

922
00:40:37,040 --> 00:40:40,239
Speaker 13: March first on NFL Network. That's in two days that

923
00:40:40,320 --> 00:40:43,640
Speaker 13: it begins and streaming with NFL Plus subscription require for

924
00:40:43,760 --> 00:40:46,680
Speaker 13: NFL Plus visit plus dot NFL dot com for terms

925
00:40:47,880 --> 00:40:51,959
Speaker 13: and maybe conditions as well. The conditions of Breise Hall

926
00:40:52,120 --> 00:40:56,440
Speaker 13: employment are dependent, perhaps on whether the Jets will use

927
00:40:56,480 --> 00:41:01,960
Speaker 13: the franchise or transition tag on the veteran running back.

928
00:41:02,000 --> 00:41:06,279
Speaker 13: Here is Jets gentlemenager Darrenmuji asked about it today at

929
00:41:06,280 --> 00:41:07,239
Speaker 13: the Scouting Combine.

930
00:41:07,480 --> 00:41:08,720
Speaker 2: Yeah, the tags are an option.

931
00:41:09,600 --> 00:41:12,040
Speaker 28: Ideally we'd find a way to get a deal done

932
00:41:12,040 --> 00:41:14,279
Speaker 28: and keep Breese around. I think I've said that for

933
00:41:14,280 --> 00:41:16,400
Speaker 28: the last year since I've got here. Breese a good player.

934
00:41:16,600 --> 00:41:18,279
Speaker 28: Want to find a way to keep him around. We've

935
00:41:18,320 --> 00:41:20,879
Speaker 28: been going through that process and are still doing so.

936
00:41:21,400 --> 00:41:22,920
Speaker 28: And you know, we have a week to find out,

937
00:41:22,960 --> 00:41:25,439
Speaker 28: you know, if we can't get to an agreement, which

938
00:41:25,600 --> 00:41:26,560
Speaker 28: which way we'll go with that?

939
00:41:26,640 --> 00:41:29,960
Speaker 23: Tag would were you up there and if you will

940
00:41:29,920 --> 00:41:30,520
Speaker 23: attack him?

941
00:41:30,560 --> 00:41:32,319
Speaker 28: If yeah, We'll find a way to keep Breese here.

942
00:41:34,600 --> 00:41:37,359
Speaker 1: NFL Combine Week is in full swing and the likes

943
00:41:37,360 --> 00:41:40,640
Speaker 1: of Texas Tech Edge David Bailey are in the house,

944
00:41:40,680 --> 00:41:44,759
Speaker 1: sa Kee mezzidor Miami Edge also here. Ohio State linebacker

945
00:41:44,880 --> 00:41:48,160
Speaker 1: Sonny Styles in the house. Drills just two days away,

946
00:41:48,160 --> 00:41:50,640
Speaker 1: and we got a lot of news at ground level

947
00:41:50,719 --> 00:41:54,840
Speaker 1: as well. Chiefs tight end Travis Kelsey's future remains uncertain

948
00:41:54,880 --> 00:41:58,320
Speaker 1: as Kansas City tries to reboot for twenty twenty six.

949
00:41:58,680 --> 00:42:00,880
Speaker 1: We heard from GM Brett V today, Well, one of

950
00:42:00,880 --> 00:42:04,279
Speaker 1: the NFL's greatest tight ends return or walk away will

951
00:42:04,320 --> 00:42:07,960
Speaker 1: tell you what we know. Texans GM Nick Cassario wants

952
00:42:07,960 --> 00:42:10,960
Speaker 1: you to know that CJ. Stroud is not going anywhere.

953
00:42:11,400 --> 00:42:13,680
Speaker 1: So what's next is the QB tries to bounce back

954
00:42:13,680 --> 00:42:15,000
Speaker 1: from a brutal ending.

955
00:42:15,400 --> 00:42:17,240
Speaker 2: Here from Cassio, who has.

956
00:42:17,120 --> 00:42:20,320
Speaker 1: Some choice words for those who say, ah, just trade

957
00:42:20,320 --> 00:42:25,120
Speaker 1: them away. Welcome inside with the insiders at the combine

958
00:42:25,160 --> 00:42:29,600
Speaker 1: alongside the en Rappaport, Mike Garafolo, Jinny Batista, I am

959
00:42:29,719 --> 00:42:32,840
Speaker 1: Tom Pelisero. We are less than forty eight hours away.

960
00:42:33,200 --> 00:42:35,840
Speaker 1: Right down there not a green screen. We're really inside

961
00:42:35,960 --> 00:42:41,160
Speaker 1: Lucas Oil Stadium. From these drills getting underway, many most

962
00:42:41,239 --> 00:42:45,120
Speaker 1: of the top prospects set to compete in positional drills

963
00:42:45,160 --> 00:42:48,640
Speaker 1: starting on Thursday. One guy who will not is the

964
00:42:48,680 --> 00:42:51,239
Speaker 1: one who everyone already assumes is pretty much locked into

965
00:42:51,239 --> 00:42:53,920
Speaker 1: go number one overall to the Raiders. That is quarterback

966
00:42:53,920 --> 00:42:58,319
Speaker 1: Fernando Mendoza, just led Indiana to the national championship, won

967
00:42:58,360 --> 00:43:02,080
Speaker 1: the Heisman Trophy and certainly seems to have the eyes

968
00:43:02,360 --> 00:43:04,640
Speaker 1: of the people in Las Vegas, one of whom GM

969
00:43:04,719 --> 00:43:08,800
Speaker 1: John Spytet talked today about his philosophy undrafting young qbs.

970
00:43:09,000 --> 00:43:11,600
Speaker 16: I think you want to have as much pressure, limit

971
00:43:11,680 --> 00:43:13,120
Speaker 16: the amount of pressure you have on that guy from

972
00:43:13,160 --> 00:43:14,719
Speaker 16: the start. Now, you know, if you have a young

973
00:43:14,800 --> 00:43:18,080
Speaker 16: quarterback I'm not necessarily in favor of running him out

974
00:43:18,080 --> 00:43:22,280
Speaker 16: there right away either. So you know another quality player

975
00:43:22,320 --> 00:43:24,719
Speaker 16: that can play the quarterback position if you have a

976
00:43:24,760 --> 00:43:28,080
Speaker 16: young quarterback and obviously a great offensive line, a run game,

977
00:43:28,600 --> 00:43:30,560
Speaker 16: all the things that can.

978
00:43:31,719 --> 00:43:34,719
Speaker 15: Limit his chances to have get really get killed.

979
00:43:34,920 --> 00:43:37,160
Speaker 16: And a great defense too, because if he doesn't feel

980
00:43:37,160 --> 00:43:38,359
Speaker 16: like he's got to go out there and score thirty

981
00:43:38,360 --> 00:43:40,280
Speaker 16: five points every week, I think that's helpful.

982
00:43:41,120 --> 00:43:45,360
Speaker 1: Check out Bucky Brook's top ten prospects in this year's draft.

983
00:43:45,400 --> 00:43:48,600
Speaker 1: You just saw David Bailey. He is here in Indianapolis,

984
00:43:48,800 --> 00:43:52,400
Speaker 1: rvel Reese. Bucky's got him set in his mock draft,

985
00:43:52,400 --> 00:43:55,040
Speaker 1: going number four to the Titans. He's going to compete

986
00:43:55,239 --> 00:43:56,640
Speaker 1: in the positional drills.

987
00:43:56,760 --> 00:43:57,879
Speaker 2: How about a running.

988
00:43:57,600 --> 00:44:00,279
Speaker 1: Back in the top ten With Jeremiah Love going to

989
00:44:00,320 --> 00:44:02,480
Speaker 1: the Saints, he's also going to do position drills out here.

990
00:44:02,600 --> 00:44:05,200
Speaker 1: You see the full mock draft at nfl dot com

991
00:44:05,239 --> 00:44:09,160
Speaker 1: slash mock Drafts. Travis Kelsey was not in anyone's mock

992
00:44:09,239 --> 00:44:12,440
Speaker 1: draft some years ago, ended up being one of the

993
00:44:12,480 --> 00:44:16,520
Speaker 1: greatest third round draft picks of all time. Now, after

994
00:44:16,560 --> 00:44:20,080
Speaker 1: a lot of success, Super Bowl rings, all Pro honors,

995
00:44:20,520 --> 00:44:23,400
Speaker 1: only in his future. It's clear where GM Bretfeech stands.

996
00:44:23,480 --> 00:44:25,360
Speaker 29: Yeah, I think we've kind of taken a different approach

997
00:44:25,840 --> 00:44:28,960
Speaker 29: with Travis in the sense that I think, you know,

998
00:44:28,960 --> 00:44:32,560
Speaker 29: we've kind of prepared for either scenario and coaching mentioned

999
00:44:32,560 --> 00:44:36,360
Speaker 29: on Friday, he's had great dialogue with Travis. On our end, myself,

1000
00:44:36,400 --> 00:44:42,040
Speaker 29: curche Travis's crew, We've had some good dialogue there and

1001
00:44:42,080 --> 00:44:43,920
Speaker 29: I'm sure we're going to see him here just like

1002
00:44:43,960 --> 00:44:47,040
Speaker 29: we will all the other players agents, and we'll continue

1003
00:44:47,040 --> 00:44:50,000
Speaker 29: that dialogue. But Travis is the best, He's an icon,

1004
00:44:50,040 --> 00:44:51,960
Speaker 29: and hopefully he comes back and we'll just kind of

1005
00:44:52,000 --> 00:44:52,920
Speaker 29: let that process play out.

1006
00:44:53,080 --> 00:44:55,839
Speaker 1: Bret Veitch echoing sort of the words of Andy Reid

1007
00:44:55,880 --> 00:44:59,120
Speaker 1: earlier this week, not speaking in really clear terms, Ian,

1008
00:44:59,120 --> 00:45:01,960
Speaker 1: what's your understanding things stand right now with Travis Kelce.

1009
00:45:02,080 --> 00:45:04,200
Speaker 12: So that was really what struck me about the words

1010
00:45:04,200 --> 00:45:06,680
Speaker 12: of general manager Bret Veach. I think it's pretty clear

1011
00:45:06,719 --> 00:45:07,960
Speaker 12: and Andy Reidis said it.

1012
00:45:08,000 --> 00:45:08,920
Speaker 3: Brett Vee just said it.

1013
00:45:09,040 --> 00:45:11,560
Speaker 12: The Chiefs would like Travis Kelce back, There's some things

1014
00:45:11,560 --> 00:45:13,480
Speaker 12: they have to work out, there's some cap space they

1015
00:45:13,520 --> 00:45:15,240
Speaker 12: need to clear. It would keep an eye on Jawan

1016
00:45:15,280 --> 00:45:18,600
Speaker 12: Taylor as a potential cap casualty, a likely cap casualty

1017
00:45:18,840 --> 00:45:21,719
Speaker 12: for the Kansas City Chiefs to create some space. This

1018
00:45:21,760 --> 00:45:24,040
Speaker 12: is the first time that bred Veach, I would say,

1019
00:45:24,600 --> 00:45:27,440
Speaker 12: seem to keep it open ended, like they want him back,

1020
00:45:27,480 --> 00:45:30,400
Speaker 12: but they want to respect Travis Kelce's decision. And we

1021
00:45:30,480 --> 00:45:33,040
Speaker 12: really did not get any indication like, Okay, he's definitely

1022
00:45:33,040 --> 00:45:34,640
Speaker 12: coming back, we just need to work out a deal.

1023
00:45:34,800 --> 00:45:36,920
Speaker 3: They would like to work out a deal, They would.

1024
00:45:36,680 --> 00:45:38,200
Speaker 12: Like to have him back, but they also want to

1025
00:45:38,239 --> 00:45:41,680
Speaker 12: make sure that if Kelsey returns, he is fully one

1026
00:45:41,760 --> 00:45:45,160
Speaker 12: hundred percent committed. He played great last year, certainly his

1027
00:45:45,239 --> 00:45:47,680
Speaker 12: best year in a couple He knows he can do it.

1028
00:45:48,040 --> 00:45:51,960
Speaker 12: Also a significant significant off the field opportunities to make

1029
00:45:52,000 --> 00:45:55,040
Speaker 12: a ton of money and if that factors into it,

1030
00:45:55,160 --> 00:45:56,120
Speaker 12: we are still here.

1031
00:45:56,200 --> 00:45:58,720
Speaker 3: You know, he's got a podcast. Oh the Taylor Swift

1032
00:45:58,760 --> 00:45:59,120
Speaker 3: was on it.

1033
00:46:00,560 --> 00:46:03,600
Speaker 11: What I noted today was the different in the language

1034
00:46:03,880 --> 00:46:06,279
Speaker 11: today compared to last year at this time, when we

1035
00:46:06,280 --> 00:46:07,759
Speaker 11: were at the combine. Last year at this time, it

1036
00:46:07,800 --> 00:46:10,120
Speaker 11: was much more definitive. It was clear that he was

1037
00:46:10,120 --> 00:46:14,240
Speaker 11: coming back. That was not the language that was used today.

1038
00:46:14,280 --> 00:46:16,640
Speaker 11: This sounds a lot more open ended than that they

1039
00:46:16,680 --> 00:46:18,080
Speaker 11: are prepared in Kansas City for.

1040
00:46:18,080 --> 00:46:20,080
Speaker 10: Really any outcome of this.

1041
00:46:20,600 --> 00:46:23,080
Speaker 11: Let's face it, whatever the outcome is, they clearly want

1042
00:46:23,200 --> 00:46:24,960
Speaker 11: him back, but they also.

1043
00:46:24,719 --> 00:46:27,160
Speaker 10: Have to get much more explosive on that offense.

1044
00:46:27,480 --> 00:46:29,560
Speaker 11: And of course, the big question hanging over all of

1045
00:46:29,600 --> 00:46:32,600
Speaker 11: this is, even if Travis Kelsey comes back, even if

1046
00:46:32,600 --> 00:46:34,719
Speaker 11: they get a whole lot of weapons, like when is

1047
00:46:34,760 --> 00:46:36,799
Speaker 11: Patrick Mahomes going to be back on the field to

1048
00:46:36,840 --> 00:46:37,520
Speaker 11: throw to those guys.

1049
00:46:37,640 --> 00:46:42,520
Speaker 13: Yeah, some folks, some talent evaluators, even not necessarily affiliated

1050
00:46:42,520 --> 00:46:45,319
Speaker 13: with teams, just kind of independent folks that thought, well,

1051
00:46:45,800 --> 00:46:48,160
Speaker 13: he's done, he didn't have much left. I don't get

1052
00:46:48,160 --> 00:46:50,359
Speaker 13: the sense that the Chiefs believe that at all. I mean,

1053
00:46:50,400 --> 00:46:53,720
Speaker 13: the Chiefs think it's not the same kind of style

1054
00:46:53,719 --> 00:46:56,040
Speaker 13: of play, same game breaking type player that he was

1055
00:46:56,080 --> 00:46:58,319
Speaker 13: a couple of years ago. But they feel like he's

1056
00:46:58,360 --> 00:47:01,200
Speaker 13: got plenty left in that they've got ways to employ

1057
00:47:01,280 --> 00:47:04,279
Speaker 13: him in that offense, certainly with Eric Bmme back as well,

1058
00:47:04,280 --> 00:47:06,000
Speaker 13: a guy that he's going to be familiar.

1059
00:47:05,680 --> 00:47:06,640
Speaker 4: With as well.

1060
00:47:06,719 --> 00:47:10,080
Speaker 13: So you know, some of this is what Travis wants

1061
00:47:10,080 --> 00:47:11,320
Speaker 13: to do, and that's why it's going to be a

1062
00:47:11,320 --> 00:47:11,719
Speaker 13: little bit.

1063
00:47:11,680 --> 00:47:14,240
Speaker 2: Open ended for a while until we get a decision

1064
00:47:14,440 --> 00:47:15,400
Speaker 2: on both ends of this day.

1065
00:47:15,440 --> 00:47:17,319
Speaker 1: It is a parent off Farvis Hilsey is going to

1066
00:47:17,320 --> 00:47:18,520
Speaker 1: play in twenty twenty six.

1067
00:47:18,600 --> 00:47:20,000
Speaker 2: It will be in Kansas City.

1068
00:47:20,400 --> 00:47:23,440
Speaker 1: Maybe not quite the same deal with Mike Evans and

1069
00:47:23,480 --> 00:47:23,840
Speaker 1: the Bucks.

1070
00:47:24,000 --> 00:47:26,279
Speaker 12: From one future Hall of Famer who may or not

1071
00:47:26,360 --> 00:47:29,560
Speaker 12: be re signing with his team, but now to another

1072
00:47:29,680 --> 00:47:33,680
Speaker 12: Mike Evans the Tavia Buccaneers. We've learned from his aged

1073
00:47:33,760 --> 00:47:36,359
Speaker 12: Derek Gilmore in Front of the Insiders. Derek Gilmore likes

1074
00:47:36,360 --> 00:47:38,239
Speaker 12: to send us quotes that he is going to big

1075
00:47:38,400 --> 00:47:39,839
Speaker 12: be back in twenty twenty six.

1076
00:47:40,200 --> 00:47:43,680
Speaker 3: We just don't know if it's with the Bucks, is

1077
00:47:43,719 --> 00:47:44,399
Speaker 3: it Jason Light.

1078
00:47:44,840 --> 00:47:46,640
Speaker 30: We'll have a lot of conversations with him. We have

1079
00:47:46,800 --> 00:47:50,279
Speaker 30: very open line of communication with his agent and his

1080
00:47:50,360 --> 00:47:52,879
Speaker 30: agents and also with Mike.

1081
00:47:53,440 --> 00:47:55,919
Speaker 9: And there's your vacations had a different tenor than past

1082
00:47:55,960 --> 00:47:56,440
Speaker 9: off seasons.

1083
00:47:56,480 --> 00:47:57,439
Speaker 4: I mean, he's been a free agent.

1084
00:47:58,440 --> 00:48:01,319
Speaker 30: No, I would say it's I'd say we're have the

1085
00:48:01,320 --> 00:48:06,359
Speaker 30: same open lines, same discussions. It's no I talked to Mike.

1086
00:48:07,719 --> 00:48:11,280
Speaker 30: It's he's earned the right to do this and to

1087
00:48:11,320 --> 00:48:13,600
Speaker 30: do what's best for him, and he knows that we'd

1088
00:48:13,640 --> 00:48:14,439
Speaker 30: love to have him back.

1089
00:48:14,600 --> 00:48:17,239
Speaker 13: Meanwhile, Browns General manager Andrew Berry asked what he wants

1090
00:48:17,280 --> 00:48:19,480
Speaker 13: to see from Shador Sanders in year number two. He said,

1091
00:48:19,520 --> 00:48:21,960
Speaker 13: continued growth. He learned a lot from start one to

1092
00:48:22,000 --> 00:48:24,840
Speaker 13: start seven. Wants him to keep the ball out of

1093
00:48:24,880 --> 00:48:28,160
Speaker 13: harm's way, so cut down on turnovers and potential turnovers,

1094
00:48:28,239 --> 00:48:31,080
Speaker 13: but also be explosive and continue to work on his

1095
00:48:31,160 --> 00:48:34,719
Speaker 13: body physically as well. So does all that mean that

1096
00:48:34,760 --> 00:48:37,520
Speaker 13: they expect Shador Sanders to be the starter in twenty

1097
00:48:37,560 --> 00:48:40,120
Speaker 13: twenty six and not necessarily?

1098
00:48:40,200 --> 00:48:44,640
Speaker 7: Here's Barry right now, it's what February twenty fourth.

1099
00:48:44,680 --> 00:48:45,960
Speaker 6: Thank you. I appreciate Scott.

1100
00:48:46,040 --> 00:48:48,360
Speaker 7: So you know, we don't have to make that decision

1101
00:48:48,360 --> 00:48:50,799
Speaker 7: anytime soon. I think any player that we have in

1102
00:48:50,840 --> 00:48:53,520
Speaker 7: that room, we would expect to, you know, to compete

1103
00:48:53,520 --> 00:48:54,239
Speaker 7: to earn a role.

1104
00:48:55,200 --> 00:48:56,360
Speaker 6: Those two would be no different.

1105
00:48:57,160 --> 00:48:59,080
Speaker 11: Well, there's no question about who would be the starting

1106
00:48:59,120 --> 00:49:03,040
Speaker 11: quarterback in Pittsburgh if he chooses to play again this season,

1107
00:49:03,280 --> 00:49:06,040
Speaker 11: Aaron Rodgers. It's been like an hour since we've discussed him,

1108
00:49:06,080 --> 00:49:08,080
Speaker 11: so it's time for us to mention him again. They

1109
00:49:08,120 --> 00:49:11,279
Speaker 11: are waiting on a decision from Aaron Rodgers in Pittsburgh.

1110
00:49:11,280 --> 00:49:14,839
Speaker 11: Here is general manager omark On. I have to ask

1111
00:49:14,880 --> 00:49:17,719
Speaker 11: you the most obvious question, where do things stand with

1112
00:49:18,000 --> 00:49:20,440
Speaker 11: Aaron Rodgers and a decision and what's the timeline?

1113
00:49:21,760 --> 00:49:26,080
Speaker 6: Good to see? So you know we've been in communication

1114
00:49:26,200 --> 00:49:26,880
Speaker 6: with Aaron.

1115
00:49:27,760 --> 00:49:29,719
Speaker 5: I've talked to him recently and he knows how we

1116
00:49:29,760 --> 00:49:30,440
Speaker 5: feel about him.

1117
00:49:30,480 --> 00:49:31,400
Speaker 6: You know, the door's open.

1118
00:49:31,440 --> 00:49:36,160
Speaker 5: And I wouldn't say there's there's a necessarily a timeline,

1119
00:49:36,600 --> 00:49:38,480
Speaker 5: but I would I don't expect this to go like

1120
00:49:38,520 --> 00:49:40,319
Speaker 5: it was last year. And I think we're gonna have

1121
00:49:40,320 --> 00:49:41,239
Speaker 5: an answer sooner and.

1122
00:49:41,320 --> 00:49:43,000
Speaker 10: Later probably HI free agency.

1123
00:49:44,360 --> 00:49:44,600
Speaker 15: You know.

1124
00:49:46,160 --> 00:49:48,320
Speaker 6: It's fluid. I'll just say that I don't expect this

1125
00:49:48,440 --> 00:49:49,520
Speaker 6: to be like it was last year.

1126
00:49:51,000 --> 00:49:51,880
Speaker 10: You have Will Howard?

1127
00:49:52,600 --> 00:49:53,239
Speaker 15: You like him?

1128
00:49:54,680 --> 00:49:57,040
Speaker 11: If do you have to go into the straft thinking

1129
00:49:57,080 --> 00:49:59,800
Speaker 11: you have to get another quarterback? Or are you comfortable

1130
00:50:00,160 --> 00:50:02,040
Speaker 11: trying to see what you got with Will Howard this year?

1131
00:50:02,239 --> 00:50:05,239
Speaker 5: So we think very highly a will We like him

1132
00:50:05,280 --> 00:50:08,440
Speaker 5: coming out last year, and UH, to be honest with you,

1133
00:50:08,760 --> 00:50:11,440
Speaker 5: we watched Mike Mike McCarthy and I have taken the time.

1134
00:50:11,480 --> 00:50:14,160
Speaker 5: We watched his practice tape and see how how he's grown.

1135
00:50:15,200 --> 00:50:16,960
Speaker 5: Obviously we didn't get the chance to see him play

1136
00:50:17,000 --> 00:50:18,840
Speaker 5: in the preseason or in a game this year, So

1137
00:50:19,280 --> 00:50:21,360
Speaker 5: a little bit of an unknown, but work. He's excited

1138
00:50:21,360 --> 00:50:23,279
Speaker 5: to work with him, and we think very highly A

1139
00:50:23,360 --> 00:50:26,640
Speaker 5: will so you know, specific to that position in the draft.

1140
00:50:26,960 --> 00:50:29,879
Speaker 5: Will evaluate everything. But uh, now we're not going into

1141
00:50:29,880 --> 00:50:31,200
Speaker 5: the same we have to take a quarterback.

1142
00:50:31,719 --> 00:50:34,680
Speaker 11: This was obviously an off season already of a lot

1143
00:50:34,680 --> 00:50:37,440
Speaker 11: of change, which is sort of unusual for the Pittsburgh Steelers.

1144
00:50:37,440 --> 00:50:39,520
Speaker 11: When when you take a step back, you've gotten to

1145
00:50:39,560 --> 00:50:41,600
Speaker 11: a certain point for a long time. When you take

1146
00:50:41,600 --> 00:50:44,440
Speaker 11: a step back, what has to happen for you to

1147
00:50:44,960 --> 00:50:45,960
Speaker 11: get to the next step?

1148
00:50:46,920 --> 00:50:49,319
Speaker 5: Yeah, I mean overall, we have to be we have

1149
00:50:49,360 --> 00:50:52,680
Speaker 5: to be uh better everywhere. I mean, we made the

1150
00:50:52,680 --> 00:50:56,120
Speaker 5: playoffs uh back to back years and we didn't win

1151
00:50:56,160 --> 00:50:56,439
Speaker 5: a game.

1152
00:50:56,480 --> 00:50:59,680
Speaker 6: That's not good enough. So we we've had uh like

1153
00:50:59,719 --> 00:51:00,359
Speaker 6: we do every year.

1154
00:51:00,560 --> 00:51:04,600
Speaker 5: We've evaluated everything we do and try to improve, and

1155
00:51:05,320 --> 00:51:07,239
Speaker 5: we just have to keep fighting because we know we

1156
00:51:07,320 --> 00:51:10,120
Speaker 5: have the people in place to to get to where

1157
00:51:10,120 --> 00:51:10,719
Speaker 5: we want to get to.

1158
00:51:11,120 --> 00:51:12,400
Speaker 11: Do you feel like you have to come out of

1159
00:51:12,440 --> 00:51:15,920
Speaker 11: this offseason this draft maybe with a with a top

1160
00:51:16,160 --> 00:51:17,200
Speaker 11: level wide receiver.

1161
00:51:18,320 --> 00:51:22,759
Speaker 5: I'd say we're evaluating every position group and we're trying

1162
00:51:22,760 --> 00:51:24,040
Speaker 5: to get better every position group.

1163
00:51:24,840 --> 00:51:27,080
Speaker 11: Do you expect Jalen Ramsey to still be a Pittsburgh

1164
00:51:27,080 --> 00:51:27,879
Speaker 11: Steeler when this season?

1165
00:51:28,440 --> 00:51:29,160
Speaker 6: Jalen's great?

1166
00:51:29,239 --> 00:51:31,200
Speaker 5: I mean, I know this coach, you, staff is excited

1167
00:51:31,239 --> 00:51:34,319
Speaker 5: to work with him, and I can't say enough about

1168
00:51:34,400 --> 00:51:35,680
Speaker 5: Jalen and his approach.

1169
00:51:35,440 --> 00:51:38,640
Speaker 6: Of the game and how good of a teammate he been.

1170
00:51:38,760 --> 00:51:42,160
Speaker 5: He's been and he works hard, and you know, I

1171
00:51:42,400 --> 00:51:43,400
Speaker 5: love his versatility.

1172
00:51:43,440 --> 00:51:45,600
Speaker 6: You know, last year, early in the year, we asked him.

1173
00:51:45,640 --> 00:51:48,600
Speaker 5: To switch to the free safety position, and he did it,

1174
00:51:48,640 --> 00:51:51,359
Speaker 5: you know, and he hadn't practice it. And I think

1175
00:51:51,440 --> 00:51:53,440
Speaker 5: we'll have a decision about where on the field he's

1176
00:51:53,440 --> 00:51:54,319
Speaker 5: going to play this year.

1177
00:51:54,320 --> 00:51:57,160
Speaker 6: But I know this coach is Staff is exactly excited to.

1178
00:51:57,080 --> 00:51:58,960
Speaker 11: Work with him, So he will be a Pittsburgh Steeler

1179
00:51:59,040 --> 00:52:03,360
Speaker 11: somewhere on the field. When you look at the organization

1180
00:52:03,680 --> 00:52:07,560
Speaker 11: as a whole, how does Mike McCarthy fit in this

1181
00:52:07,640 --> 00:52:10,360
Speaker 11: was it was a departure of a hire from what

1182
00:52:10,480 --> 00:52:12,680
Speaker 11: this team has traditionally done in fifty years.

1183
00:52:13,640 --> 00:52:14,520
Speaker 10: Why does he fit?

1184
00:52:15,160 --> 00:52:15,279
Speaker 4: So?

1185
00:52:15,320 --> 00:52:18,600
Speaker 5: We you know, we had a very open mind when

1186
00:52:18,640 --> 00:52:19,800
Speaker 5: we went into this process.

1187
00:52:20,320 --> 00:52:23,920
Speaker 6: We did cast a wide net and now we went

1188
00:52:23,960 --> 00:52:27,600
Speaker 6: through it. It just we just realized that he was

1189
00:52:27,640 --> 00:52:28,600
Speaker 6: the right fit for us.

1190
00:52:28,640 --> 00:52:32,440
Speaker 5: You know, we we we interviewed some really excellent candidates.

1191
00:52:32,480 --> 00:52:35,440
Speaker 5: You know, I'm confident saying that most, if not all,

1192
00:52:35,440 --> 00:52:35,960
Speaker 5: those guys.

1193
00:52:35,840 --> 00:52:37,279
Speaker 6: Are going to be head coaches at some point.

1194
00:52:37,360 --> 00:52:40,239
Speaker 5: But as we evaluated and went through it with where

1195
00:52:40,280 --> 00:52:43,600
Speaker 5: we are as an organization right now, he was the

1196
00:52:43,680 --> 00:52:45,680
Speaker 5: right He was the right decision for us.

1197
00:52:46,239 --> 00:52:47,759
Speaker 10: Omar, Thank you, Thanks, good to.

1198
00:52:47,760 --> 00:52:49,320

Speaker 1: TNF and Prime videos. Analytics expert Sam Schwartstein's Dot buye Sam,

1207
00:53:14,960 --> 00:53:17,760
Speaker 1: Let's talk about how some of these analytics actually apply

1208
00:53:18,000 --> 00:53:19,560
Speaker 1: to the things that we see out here.

1209
00:53:19,600 --> 00:53:21,440
Speaker 4: In terms of the drills and the testing.

1210
00:53:21,920 --> 00:53:24,440
Speaker 1: You almost never lest something really bad happen, see an

1211
00:53:24,440 --> 00:53:26,640
Speaker 1: offensive lineman run forty yards in the line in a game.

1212
00:53:27,040 --> 00:53:28,719
Speaker 1: How if it all does the forty yard dash for

1213
00:53:28,840 --> 00:53:32,000
Speaker 1: old linemen actually translate to real things of football.

1214
00:53:32,080 --> 00:53:33,759
Speaker 31: Yeah, it's like, why do we not just run the

1215
00:53:33,840 --> 00:53:35,520
Speaker 31: ten or get them in a normal stance and watch

1216
00:53:35,560 --> 00:53:37,919
Speaker 31: a football drill. Well, the forty we have historical data

1217
00:53:37,960 --> 00:53:39,640
Speaker 31: on it, and it allows us to actually see how

1218
00:53:39,680 --> 00:53:42,439
Speaker 31: healthy that offensive tackle is. If you're able to run

1219
00:53:42,560 --> 00:53:44,839
Speaker 31: a four eight five or a four to nine under

1220
00:53:44,880 --> 00:53:48,120
Speaker 31: five seconds at over three hundred pounds, that tells you

1221
00:53:48,200 --> 00:53:51,439
Speaker 31: a lot about this alignment's ability to stay in the game.

1222
00:53:51,520 --> 00:53:53,160
Speaker 31: Best ability is availability.

1223
00:53:53,320 --> 00:53:54,880
Speaker 4: That's what we see which Kristen works.

1224
00:53:55,160 --> 00:53:57,320
Speaker 2: He ran a fourty five and three twenty.

1225
00:53:57,920 --> 00:54:01,080
Speaker 31: Being able to do that, that means you have great hit mobility,

1226
00:54:01,120 --> 00:54:03,920
Speaker 31: you have great agility that's going to keep you in

1227
00:54:03,960 --> 00:54:05,960
Speaker 31: the game. He's played over ninety percent of his available

1228
00:54:05,960 --> 00:54:08,560
Speaker 31: snaps multiple Pro Bowls, and that's the kind of thing

1229
00:54:08,600 --> 00:54:10,680
Speaker 31: that you want to see at on offensive tackles. So, yeah,

1230
00:54:10,680 --> 00:54:12,759
Speaker 31: it's not necessarily about the drill, but what the drill

1231
00:54:12,760 --> 00:54:13,480
Speaker 31: tells us about.

1232
00:54:13,320 --> 00:54:14,839
Speaker 4: That player a lot of times too.

1233
00:54:15,320 --> 00:54:17,640
Speaker 1: One of the takeaways is always one of these defensive ends.

1234
00:54:17,640 --> 00:54:20,719
Speaker 1: These edge guys literally jump out of the roof right

1235
00:54:20,760 --> 00:54:22,319
Speaker 1: the vertical jump and all of a sudden. You go,

1236
00:54:22,400 --> 00:54:23,680
Speaker 1: that guy's an unbelievable athlete.

1237
00:54:23,680 --> 00:54:24,520
Speaker 4: How does that translate?

1238
00:54:24,640 --> 00:54:26,440
Speaker 31: Yeah, you're looking at what can a guy do out

1239
00:54:26,440 --> 00:54:29,240
Speaker 31: of a standstill? And that's what every defensive play starts

1240
00:54:29,239 --> 00:54:31,680
Speaker 31: with for these edge rushers is when they're in a standstill,

1241
00:54:31,680 --> 00:54:33,759
Speaker 31: how can they explode off the ball? The number one

1242
00:54:33,760 --> 00:54:35,680
Speaker 31: indicator you're going to get a sack is your takeoff time,

1243
00:54:36,080 --> 00:54:39,279
Speaker 31: and Miles Garrett has been the pre eminent takeoff time.

1244
00:54:39,280 --> 00:54:40,960
Speaker 31: I mean how fast he's going to off the cross

1245
00:54:41,200 --> 00:54:43,480
Speaker 31: the line of scrimmage. And his ability to do that

1246
00:54:43,520 --> 00:54:45,839
Speaker 31: comes from his vertical jump and his broad jump. Those

1247
00:54:45,920 --> 00:54:48,359
Speaker 31: jumping a drillities that really measure what are you doing

1248
00:54:48,360 --> 00:54:51,160
Speaker 31: from that standstill? They measure that initial explosion, which is

1249
00:54:51,320 --> 00:54:54,960
Speaker 31: the entire battle in the offensive line versus defensive line drill.

1250
00:54:55,320 --> 00:54:58,000
Speaker 1: Bench press is one area that's kind of been isolated

1251
00:54:58,040 --> 00:55:00,480
Speaker 1: in recent years from all the rest of the drills

1252
00:55:00,480 --> 00:55:03,359
Speaker 1: here is they're a position where those results still matter,

1253
00:55:03,440 --> 00:55:03,919
Speaker 1: good or bad.

1254
00:55:04,239 --> 00:55:06,279
Speaker 31: You know, we used to love it in college. Is

1255
00:55:06,280 --> 00:55:07,799
Speaker 31: actually one of my better drills. I got the twenty

1256
00:55:07,840 --> 00:55:09,080
Speaker 31: nine rous there we go. You want to bring it

1257
00:55:09,120 --> 00:55:11,840
Speaker 31: on yet, but I know it's the mental issue that

1258
00:55:11,880 --> 00:55:12,880
Speaker 31: I couldn't get to thirty.

1259
00:55:13,000 --> 00:55:15,120
Speaker 2: It was always twenty nine, so that was the issue.

1260
00:55:15,200 --> 00:55:17,120
Speaker 31: But for tight ends, you used to see these are

1261
00:55:17,200 --> 00:55:20,080
Speaker 31: offensive linemen that could also run routes. And we saw

1262
00:55:20,120 --> 00:55:23,200
Speaker 31: that there was over eighty percent participation years ago for

1263
00:55:24,160 --> 00:55:24,640
Speaker 31: tight ends in.

1264
00:55:24,640 --> 00:55:26,440
Speaker 2: Mench press, now only twenty nine percent.

1265
00:55:26,480 --> 00:55:28,759
Speaker 31: Since twenty twenty, only twenty nine percent of tight ends

1266
00:55:28,800 --> 00:55:31,640
Speaker 31: actually participate in the bench press. There are wide receivers

1267
00:55:31,640 --> 00:55:33,920
Speaker 31: who may be able to block like an offensive lineman.

1268
00:55:34,000 --> 00:55:36,239
Speaker 31: So whether you're participating in the bench press, that tells

1269
00:55:36,280 --> 00:55:37,920
Speaker 31: you what this player has the.

1270
00:55:37,920 --> 00:55:38,560
Speaker 4: Ability to do.

1271
00:55:38,600 --> 00:55:40,040
Speaker 31: So those tight ends that are willing to step up

1272
00:55:40,080 --> 00:55:42,399
Speaker 31: to the plate and bench means, they're also the ones

1273
00:55:42,400 --> 00:55:44,799
Speaker 31: that are likely to step up and block somebody. So

1274
00:55:45,040 --> 00:55:48,080
Speaker 31: your participation as participation has gone drowned in the major drills.

1275
00:55:48,520 --> 00:55:50,440
Speaker 31: Now we're seeing what that says about you as a player.

1276
00:55:50,480 --> 00:55:52,200
Speaker 31: If you are participating in the drill.

1277
00:55:52,239 --> 00:55:54,360
Speaker 1: Real quick, what percent of these tight ends could you

1278
00:55:54,400 --> 00:55:55,520
Speaker 1: out bench right now?

1279
00:55:55,680 --> 00:55:59,399
Speaker 31: I probably right now, none of them. All that dude

1280
00:55:59,440 --> 00:56:01,160
Speaker 31: bouncing off my chest got me our fright us on

1281
00:56:01,200 --> 00:56:17,440
Speaker 31: my shoulders, So none of them, Sam, pay you.

1282
00:56:10,200 --> 00:56:11,680
Speaker 2: You can throw up some iron. He can do a

1283
00:56:11,680 --> 00:56:14,000
Speaker 2: lot of things and made him the Super Bowl MVP.

1284
00:56:14,680 --> 00:56:16,439
Speaker 2: Now it's time to pay them.

1285
00:56:16,880 --> 00:56:19,840
Speaker 13: Could there be a franchise tag or transition tag in

1286
00:56:19,920 --> 00:56:23,600
Speaker 13: his future? Let's ask Seahawks general manager John Sneider, who's

1287
00:56:23,719 --> 00:56:25,240
Speaker 13: definitely going to answer that question.

1288
00:56:25,640 --> 00:56:27,680
Speaker 25: No, we'd love to have uh, we love to have

1289
00:56:27,760 --> 00:56:31,640
Speaker 25: Ken back. You know, it's and he knows it's better

1290
00:56:31,640 --> 00:56:33,719
Speaker 25: than anybody. It's it's about our seventy you know, and

1291
00:56:33,960 --> 00:56:36,360
Speaker 25: our collective and what that's gonna look like. And and

1292
00:56:36,600 --> 00:56:38,680
Speaker 25: you know, we'll have those meetings down here. We'll you know,

1293
00:56:38,719 --> 00:56:42,120
Speaker 25: we'll start you know, talking to all the agents and

1294
00:56:42,120 --> 00:56:45,279
Speaker 25: and yeah, well we'll have a better feel of where

1295
00:56:45,280 --> 00:56:47,160
Speaker 25: we're going here towards towards the end of the towards

1296
00:56:47,200 --> 00:56:47,480
Speaker 25: the end.

1297
00:56:47,400 --> 00:56:47,719
Speaker 15: Of the week.

1298
00:56:47,760 --> 00:56:49,960
Speaker 25: But obviously we'd love to have everybody. We won't have

1299
00:56:49,960 --> 00:56:52,080
Speaker 25: everybody back. You know, right when you get down on

1300
00:56:52,160 --> 00:56:53,839
Speaker 25: something special like that, you're like, let's run it back,

1301
00:56:53,880 --> 00:56:56,319
Speaker 25: let's run it back. You know it's gonna be it's

1302
00:56:56,360 --> 00:56:57,840
Speaker 25: gonna be interesting process.

1303
00:56:58,440 --> 00:56:59,600
Speaker 4: Have you ruled out the tag ors?

1304
00:56:59,600 --> 00:57:04,000
Speaker 17: I'd always a potential option or what's the that's a good.

1305
00:57:03,800 --> 00:57:06,240
Speaker 4: That's a good tribob that day.

1306
00:57:07,600 --> 00:57:08,359
Speaker 15: I couldn't hear you.

1307
00:57:08,719 --> 00:57:11,600
Speaker 2: He did not answer the question Ian. He did not.

1308
00:57:12,040 --> 00:57:15,440
Speaker 12: Will Monty astin Ford answer the question about Kyler Murray,

1309
00:57:15,440 --> 00:57:17,760
Speaker 12: one of the more interesting quarterbacks heading into free agency,

1310
00:57:17,960 --> 00:57:20,840
Speaker 12: despite the fact that he is not actually a free agent,

1311
00:57:20,960 --> 00:57:24,160
Speaker 12: Kyler Murray's status certainly something up for debate.

1312
00:57:24,440 --> 00:57:27,080
Speaker 3: Let's let the Cardinals general manager weigh in.

1313
00:57:27,480 --> 00:57:29,320
Speaker 32: I know a lot of you're gonna be on top

1314
00:57:29,320 --> 00:57:32,160
Speaker 32: of your minds our quarterback situation. So you know, here's

1315
00:57:32,160 --> 00:57:34,200
Speaker 32: what I would says. I've said before. I'd say all

1316
00:57:34,240 --> 00:57:37,680
Speaker 32: options are on the table for us. Okay, we got Kyler,

1317
00:57:37,840 --> 00:57:43,280
Speaker 32: Jacoby Keaton all under contract. As it pertains to that position,

1318
00:57:43,320 --> 00:57:45,720
Speaker 32: as it pertains to every position on our team. We're

1319
00:57:45,720 --> 00:57:49,320
Speaker 32: going to look at every avenue to improve, and we're

1320
00:57:49,320 --> 00:57:51,160
Speaker 32: going to continue and go through our process with that.

1321
00:57:51,480 --> 00:57:54,840
Speaker 12: Monty acid Board couldn't be happier to answer questions.

1322
00:57:55,400 --> 00:57:57,320
Speaker 3: Obviously, something we enjoy.

1323
00:57:57,440 --> 00:57:58,080
Speaker 4: Head till.

1324
00:57:59,600 --> 00:58:01,200
Speaker 2: Decide. I can answer this.

1325
00:58:01,480 --> 00:58:02,800
Speaker 4: You know, Brandon Bean likes he.

1326
00:58:02,840 --> 00:58:05,160
Speaker 12: Likes to talk to our Judy Batista, which he did,

1327
00:58:05,360 --> 00:58:08,800
Speaker 12: so do I about Josh Allen, who's right there coming

1328
00:58:08,880 --> 00:58:09,640
Speaker 12: up on this US.

1329
00:58:24,520 --> 00:58:25,520
Speaker 15: It's Josh Allen.

1330
00:58:25,600 --> 00:58:29,040
Speaker 21: Now, now watch the big guy one, two, three, four, five, six,

1331
00:58:29,120 --> 00:58:30,000
Speaker 21: seven seven steps.

1332
00:58:30,000 --> 00:58:32,720
Speaker 2: He's got ten yards and Allen's just rips.

1333
00:58:32,760 --> 00:58:34,280
Speaker 4: I think he's doing a good job out of here.

1334
00:58:34,360 --> 00:58:36,400
Speaker 2: He's throwing the ball accurately on Thursday.

1335
00:58:36,400 --> 00:58:39,200
Speaker 4: Should be accurate. That's what he does, just effortless man

1336
00:58:39,320 --> 00:58:40,360
Speaker 4: four seven six.

1337
00:58:41,200 --> 00:58:43,000
Speaker 2: I have no doubt he could throw the ball eighty

1338
00:58:43,080 --> 00:58:45,000
Speaker 2: ninety yard. There's a good group.

1339
00:58:44,960 --> 00:58:47,520
Speaker 15: That went from the ten yard line to the opposite.

1340
00:58:47,040 --> 00:58:48,680
Speaker 2: Thirty showing off a little bit.

1341
00:58:51,400 --> 00:58:51,560
Speaker 10: Man.

1342
00:58:51,600 --> 00:58:54,840
Speaker 11: I remember the gasps in the stadium when he unleashed

1343
00:58:54,880 --> 00:58:56,800
Speaker 11: that ball during the scouting combine.

1344
00:58:56,840 --> 00:58:58,120
Speaker 10: It's a long way from there.

1345
00:58:58,240 --> 00:59:01,920
Speaker 11: This is very sad Josh Allen after the playoff loss

1346
00:59:02,240 --> 00:59:05,480
Speaker 11: this season, and very sad Josh Allen got a big

1347
00:59:05,600 --> 00:59:09,120
Speaker 11: change in Buffalo. I checked in with Brandon Bean, their

1348
00:59:09,200 --> 00:59:13,880
Speaker 11: general manager, today, on all the changes this offseason in Buffalo. Brandon,

1349
00:59:13,960 --> 00:59:16,440
Speaker 11: good to see you. The season's been over for a

1350
00:59:16,520 --> 00:59:18,760
Speaker 11: little while now, a few weeks. You've had some time

1351
00:59:18,800 --> 00:59:21,000
Speaker 11: to take a breath. You obviously made a coaching change.

1352
00:59:21,000 --> 00:59:24,480
Speaker 11: When you reflect on last season, why didn't end the

1353
00:59:24,480 --> 00:59:25,120
Speaker 11: way it ended?

1354
00:59:25,760 --> 00:59:26,880
Speaker 2: Yeah, great question, Judy.

1355
00:59:27,440 --> 00:59:30,480
Speaker 20: I mean ultimately, we they made one more play than

1356
00:59:30,520 --> 00:59:33,960
Speaker 20: we did and that's generally what comes down to you.

1357
00:59:33,960 --> 00:59:35,120
Speaker 2: You work to earn.

1358
00:59:34,960 --> 00:59:37,160
Speaker 20: That, you know, that ticket to the to the dance,

1359
00:59:37,160 --> 00:59:39,440
Speaker 20: which is you know, season two of the playoffs, and

1360
00:59:40,280 --> 00:59:42,960
Speaker 20: but ultimately you got to play your best football.

1361
00:59:42,520 --> 00:59:43,200
Speaker 15: In those games.

1362
00:59:43,240 --> 00:59:46,040
Speaker 20: And you know, unfortunately, I think in that Denver game,

1363
00:59:46,080 --> 00:59:47,600
Speaker 20: we had some you know, we had.

1364
00:59:47,480 --> 00:59:50,840
Speaker 9: Some turnovers and we still had some chances.

1365
00:59:50,560 --> 00:59:52,400
Speaker 20: To make and you know, people talk about the catch,

1366
00:59:52,440 --> 00:59:56,600
Speaker 20: no catch or whatever, that is what it is like. Ultimately,

1367
00:59:56,680 --> 00:59:58,520
Speaker 20: the year before we lost in Kansas City on what

1368
00:59:58,720 --> 01:00:01,720
Speaker 20: is that? That was the sneak of But there are

1369
01:00:01,760 --> 01:00:04,160
Speaker 20: other plays in games that it.

1370
01:00:04,120 --> 01:00:06,960
Speaker 2: Comes down to. So I try not to focus on that.

1371
01:00:07,120 --> 01:00:11,960
Speaker 20: And ultimately, we as a collective team, we just did

1372
01:00:12,360 --> 01:00:14,800
Speaker 20: we didn't make quite enough plays to get this thing

1373
01:00:14,800 --> 01:00:15,280
Speaker 20: over the top.

1374
01:00:15,320 --> 01:00:17,600
Speaker 2: And that's that's what we're trying to do now.

1375
01:00:17,560 --> 01:00:19,560
Speaker 20: Is to make sure that as we build this twenty

1376
01:00:19,600 --> 01:00:22,960
Speaker 20: twenty six iteration of the Buffalo Bills, that this team

1377
01:00:23,600 --> 01:00:26,320
Speaker 20: will make those plays when the opportunity is there.

1378
01:00:26,720 --> 01:00:30,160
Speaker 11: Terry Pagola made it clear, it is Super Bowl or bust. Right,

1379
01:00:30,200 --> 01:00:33,280
Speaker 11: You've got Josh Allen, You've got that piece. When you

1380
01:00:33,320 --> 01:00:36,080
Speaker 11: have to put pieces around a player like Josh Allen.

1381
01:00:36,280 --> 01:00:38,560
Speaker 11: We on the outside can look at it and say like, well,

1382
01:00:38,560 --> 01:00:39,320
Speaker 11: this is what they need.

1383
01:00:39,360 --> 01:00:41,360
Speaker 10: What do you need? What do you think that this

1384
01:00:41,440 --> 01:00:43,000
Speaker 10: team needs this offseason?

1385
01:00:43,440 --> 01:00:45,480
Speaker 2: You know, Judy, great question, and I'm going to give

1386
01:00:45,480 --> 01:00:47,600
Speaker 2: you an answer. Non answer here is we just we

1387
01:00:47,600 --> 01:00:48,720
Speaker 2: need good football players.

1388
01:00:48,920 --> 01:00:51,720
Speaker 20: And one of the ways I say is people say, well,

1389
01:00:51,880 --> 01:00:53,919
Speaker 20: you need wide receivers, you need a line. First off,

1390
01:00:54,080 --> 01:00:56,120
Speaker 20: I always believe you have to It starts up front.

1391
01:00:56,480 --> 01:00:56,960
Speaker 15: You have to have a.

1392
01:00:57,000 --> 01:00:58,960
Speaker 20: Quarterback, You got to protect the quarterback, and you got

1393
01:00:58,960 --> 01:00:59,320
Speaker 20: to get.

1394
01:00:59,160 --> 01:01:00,439
Speaker 4: After the other teams back.

1395
01:01:00,920 --> 01:01:04,960
Speaker 20: Beyond that, a player on defense can help you get

1396
01:01:05,040 --> 01:01:07,680
Speaker 20: Josh Allen one more possession. What we want to do,

1397
01:01:07,960 --> 01:01:11,280
Speaker 20: and it sounds simple, is obviously give Josh as many possessions,

1398
01:01:11,280 --> 01:01:14,080
Speaker 20: scores many points, and how quickly can we get the

1399
01:01:14,080 --> 01:01:15,760
Speaker 20: ball back to them. One of the things that we

1400
01:01:15,800 --> 01:01:18,480
Speaker 20: didn't do well this year was stop the run. And

1401
01:01:18,520 --> 01:01:20,880
Speaker 20: so well you say that, what does that mean, Well,

1402
01:01:21,760 --> 01:01:25,080
Speaker 20: that means people are possessing the ball and number seventeen

1403
01:01:25,200 --> 01:01:28,000
Speaker 20: is sitting on the sideline not being able to affect

1404
01:01:28,040 --> 01:01:31,080
Speaker 20: a game. So sometimes it can just be a player

1405
01:01:31,120 --> 01:01:33,960
Speaker 20: that can help your defense stop the run a little

1406
01:01:33,960 --> 01:01:35,680
Speaker 20: bit better, and I think we were thirtieth.

1407
01:01:36,200 --> 01:01:37,200
Speaker 15: We don't need to go to first.

1408
01:01:37,200 --> 01:01:39,520
Speaker 20: But if we can cut that down in half fifteenth

1409
01:01:39,560 --> 01:01:43,640
Speaker 20: to twentieth, that maybe you know, one more possession a

1410
01:01:43,680 --> 01:01:45,520
Speaker 20: game or a half a possession a game.

1411
01:01:46,880 --> 01:01:48,840
Speaker 11: Is it imperative that you come out of either a

1412
01:01:48,920 --> 01:01:51,439
Speaker 11: draft or a free agency or both with a top

1413
01:01:51,560 --> 01:01:52,400
Speaker 11: level wide receiver.

1414
01:01:53,720 --> 01:01:54,680
Speaker 2: It's not imperative.

1415
01:01:54,680 --> 01:01:58,200
Speaker 20: It's really about making sure we have the best unit.

1416
01:01:58,640 --> 01:02:00,200
Speaker 4: You know, I'm always.

1417
01:02:00,080 --> 01:02:03,640
Speaker 20: Talking about like playmakers, like what is that playmaker?

1418
01:02:03,680 --> 01:02:04,520
Speaker 2: Is that a running back?

1419
01:02:04,600 --> 01:02:07,040
Speaker 9: Is that a tight end, is that a wide receiver?

1420
01:02:08,200 --> 01:02:10,280
Speaker 2: Whatever that is that can help us.

1421
01:02:10,480 --> 01:02:12,680
Speaker 20: You know, sometimes those are guys that you get the

1422
01:02:12,680 --> 01:02:15,400
Speaker 20: ball to underneath and they're one of the best rack players.

1423
01:02:15,440 --> 01:02:18,280
Speaker 20: And so there's different ways to it. Maybe it's a

1424
01:02:18,360 --> 01:02:23,040
Speaker 20: vertical receiver, a mismatch. We're always trying to say what

1425
01:02:24,120 --> 01:02:28,160
Speaker 20: players can give a defense fit and how many mismatches

1426
01:02:28,200 --> 01:02:30,680
Speaker 20: can we get on the field at a certain time.

1427
01:02:30,760 --> 01:02:32,960
Speaker 20: And so I wouldn't want to say that can be

1428
01:02:33,000 --> 01:02:35,640
Speaker 20: a receiver. And I know that's the natural thing, but

1429
01:02:35,720 --> 01:02:37,280
Speaker 20: I wouldn't want to sit here and say if we

1430
01:02:37,400 --> 01:02:41,080
Speaker 20: don't get you know, this level of wide receiver that.

1431
01:02:41,000 --> 01:02:43,600
Speaker 2: We don't have an opportunity to go where we need

1432
01:02:43,640 --> 01:02:43,840
Speaker 2: to go.

1433
01:02:44,640 --> 01:02:46,200
Speaker 10: You have a new coach in Joe Brady.

1434
01:02:46,200 --> 01:02:49,400
Speaker 11: We all know that head coaches will always say, like

1435
01:02:49,440 --> 01:02:51,520
Speaker 11: that first year, there's stuff that comes at them that

1436
01:02:51,600 --> 01:02:52,560
Speaker 11: they had no idea.

1437
01:02:52,560 --> 01:02:54,440
Speaker 10: What's going to cross their desk? What do you have

1438
01:02:54,520 --> 01:02:55,960
Speaker 10: to do to support Joe Brady?

1439
01:02:55,960 --> 01:02:58,080
Speaker 11: Because this is a team built to win now, So

1440
01:02:58,480 --> 01:03:00,480
Speaker 11: what do you have to do to support Joe in

1441
01:03:00,520 --> 01:03:01,200
Speaker 11: this first year?

1442
01:03:01,560 --> 01:03:02,320
Speaker 2: Yeah?

1443
01:03:02,480 --> 01:03:04,120
Speaker 20: I think the first thing was Joe made an excellent

1444
01:03:04,200 --> 01:03:06,440
Speaker 20: hire and hiring John Fox, who's been a sixteen year

1445
01:03:06,480 --> 01:03:08,920
Speaker 20: head coach and coaching a couple of Super Bowls, and

1446
01:03:09,320 --> 01:03:11,400
Speaker 20: they you know, John's been here a couple of weeks now,

1447
01:03:11,440 --> 01:03:13,520
Speaker 20: and obviously I worked under John as a young guy and.

1448
01:03:13,800 --> 01:03:14,600
Speaker 15: Know all about him.

1449
01:03:14,640 --> 01:03:17,760
Speaker 20: But those two have already had a nice connection and

1450
01:03:17,800 --> 01:03:20,760
Speaker 20: so there's not a lot that John hasn't.

1451
01:03:20,480 --> 01:03:21,840
Speaker 4: Seen or come across his desk.

1452
01:03:21,880 --> 01:03:25,600
Speaker 2: And you know, that's when I was doing the coaching.

1453
01:03:25,560 --> 01:03:28,960
Speaker 20: Interview process, one of the guys we interviewed said, if

1454
01:03:28,960 --> 01:03:31,919
Speaker 20: I had it to do over again, I would hire,

1455
01:03:32,240 --> 01:03:34,000
Speaker 20: you know, someone on staff that had been a former

1456
01:03:34,040 --> 01:03:37,600
Speaker 20: head coach. And so I've heard that it was restated

1457
01:03:37,640 --> 01:03:40,840
Speaker 20: again and so but the thing about Joe is Joe

1458
01:03:40,880 --> 01:03:43,520
Speaker 20: already had that in his mind, and so we started

1459
01:03:43,520 --> 01:03:46,040
Speaker 20: talking about names, and you know, I introduced him and

1460
01:03:46,120 --> 01:03:48,680
Speaker 20: John and they kind of went on their own and connected.

1461
01:03:48,720 --> 01:03:53,760
Speaker 20: And so I think having things in place, obviously I

1462
01:03:53,840 --> 01:03:56,160
Speaker 20: know some of the things that will hit him and

1463
01:03:56,640 --> 01:03:58,840
Speaker 20: we all have to do this together and support him.

1464
01:03:58,840 --> 01:03:59,920
Speaker 2: But Joe's a great lest.

1465
01:04:00,360 --> 01:04:03,080
Speaker 20: It's one of the many positive traits that he has.

1466
01:04:03,240 --> 01:04:04,800
Speaker 2: Is a very high energy, positive guy.

1467
01:04:04,840 --> 01:04:07,640
Speaker 20: But he has an excellent ability to listen, and I

1468
01:04:07,680 --> 01:04:10,240
Speaker 20: think that is key, especially the first time through something.

1469
01:04:11,160 --> 01:04:13,200
Speaker 11: What's Josh been like these last few weeks since all

1470
01:04:13,200 --> 01:04:14,800
Speaker 11: of these changes, Yeah, Josh.

1471
01:04:15,000 --> 01:04:18,520
Speaker 20: You know, Josh was obviously a part of the you know,

1472
01:04:18,920 --> 01:04:21,439
Speaker 20: of the interview process, and he did a great job

1473
01:04:21,520 --> 01:04:23,919
Speaker 20: in it. Like if you didn't Judy, if you didn't

1474
01:04:23,960 --> 01:04:25,640
Speaker 20: know that was Josh Allen over there, if you were

1475
01:04:25,680 --> 01:04:28,200
Speaker 20: coming from somewhere else you've been under a rock for

1476
01:04:28,200 --> 01:04:28,800
Speaker 20: the last.

1477
01:04:28,560 --> 01:04:31,200
Speaker 4: Eight years, you would.

1478
01:04:30,920 --> 01:04:33,400
Speaker 20: Be like, man, that guy would didn't say a lot,

1479
01:04:33,440 --> 01:04:35,480
Speaker 20: but when he did, he asked some really good questions,

1480
01:04:35,480 --> 01:04:36,400
Speaker 20: took a ton of notes.

1481
01:04:36,440 --> 01:04:37,680
Speaker 2: But he's been great yet.

1482
01:04:37,680 --> 01:04:40,360
Speaker 20: He had his foot fixed and so he's out of

1483
01:04:40,360 --> 01:04:43,480
Speaker 20: his boot now and he's he's out in California. His

1484
01:04:43,560 --> 01:04:46,280
Speaker 20: wife's got a baby coming up, and so that's been

1485
01:04:46,280 --> 01:04:49,200
Speaker 20: his focus. But we talk a lot, and you know,

1486
01:04:49,400 --> 01:04:51,800
Speaker 20: I'm never afraid to get on the phone and ask

1487
01:04:51,880 --> 01:04:54,600
Speaker 20: his thoughts on something about our team, or.

1488
01:04:54,920 --> 01:04:56,760
Speaker 2: You know, if he's seen or if he.

1489
01:04:56,760 --> 01:04:59,720
Speaker 20: Knows this player somewhere, or if he runs across him,

1490
01:04:59,760 --> 01:05:01,080
Speaker 20: and and that will continue.

1491
01:05:01,520 --> 01:05:03,840
Speaker 10: Brandon, thanks so much, Thank you, Yeah you too.

1492
01:05:04,280 --> 01:05:08,240
Speaker 1: Three seasons, three playoff appearances for CJ. Stroud, though the

1493
01:05:08,360 --> 01:05:11,160
Speaker 1: latest one did not end the way he or anyone

1494
01:05:11,160 --> 01:05:14,200
Speaker 1: else in Houston wanted it to. That has led to

1495
01:05:14,200 --> 01:05:17,440
Speaker 1: some level of rumblings about Stroud's future. Could he be

1496
01:05:17,600 --> 01:05:20,960
Speaker 1: traded in? Nick Casario, Well, let him tell you himself

1497
01:05:21,000 --> 01:05:21,680
Speaker 1: what he thinks of that.

1498
01:05:23,320 --> 01:05:25,200
Speaker 19: He's our quarterback. He ain't going anywhere. We have a

1499
01:05:25,280 --> 01:05:26,960
Speaker 19: lot of confidence, a lot of belief. I mean, i'd

1500
01:05:27,000 --> 01:05:28,760
Speaker 19: say the philosophy of Dimique and I have. We're gonna

1501
01:05:28,760 --> 01:05:31,400
Speaker 19: support our players and do everything we can to kind

1502
01:05:31,440 --> 01:05:33,959
Speaker 19: of help them. And this leagu's about ups and downs.

1503
01:05:33,960 --> 01:05:35,640
Speaker 19: I mean, nothing's perfect. I mean there's no team that

1504
01:05:35,640 --> 01:05:38,040
Speaker 19: does undefeated. Unless I missed him this year, so that's

1505
01:05:38,040 --> 01:05:41,080
Speaker 19: not gonna happen, you know, buying larger, probably gonna lose

1506
01:05:41,480 --> 01:05:44,440
Speaker 19: five or six games, Gonna be some margin on either side.

1507
01:05:44,600 --> 01:05:46,080
Speaker 19: We're gonna have some good plays, We're gonna have some

1508
01:05:46,120 --> 01:05:46,520
Speaker 19: bad plays.

1509
01:05:46,560 --> 01:05:48,400
Speaker 9: Were gonna have some good games, gonna have some bad games.

1510
01:05:48,440 --> 01:05:50,160
Speaker 2: Okay, how do you bounce back? How do you handle that?

1511
01:05:50,400 --> 01:05:52,240
Speaker 19: So it's just I mean, this league is a one

1512
01:05:52,760 --> 01:05:55,840
Speaker 19: game at a time proposition and how you handle it

1513
01:05:55,920 --> 01:05:59,360
Speaker 19: every situation. Ultimately, he's gonna determine your success and your longevity.

1514
01:05:59,440 --> 01:06:01,760
Speaker 19: So no loss com I mean, look, the stock market

1515
01:06:01,800 --> 01:06:04,160
Speaker 19: has been going down for five days, so everybody's probably

1516
01:06:04,200 --> 01:06:06,960
Speaker 19: panic selling, so you know, really what you're doing is

1517
01:06:07,000 --> 01:06:09,720
Speaker 19: you be invest in more so. But anyways, we have

1518
01:06:09,720 --> 01:06:10,800
Speaker 19: a lot of confidence in CJ.

1519
01:06:10,920 --> 01:06:11,840
Speaker 2: We got a lot of confidence in.

1520
01:06:11,760 --> 01:06:13,480
Speaker 6: Our players, and I'm glad he's our quarterback.

1521
01:06:13,520 --> 01:06:15,880
Speaker 1: I would say a pretty strong endorsement right there of

1522
01:06:16,040 --> 01:06:20,160
Speaker 1: Nick Cassio for his quarterback, if not the NASDAC right now,

1523
01:06:20,160 --> 01:06:22,720
Speaker 1: which I think everybody is feeling a little bit. The

1524
01:06:22,760 --> 01:06:25,280
Speaker 1: real question though, here becomes this, see and if indeed

1525
01:06:25,320 --> 01:06:28,120
Speaker 1: c J. Stroud is going to be the quarterback, when

1526
01:06:28,840 --> 01:06:31,720
Speaker 1: or if they pay him on the type of contract

1527
01:06:31,720 --> 01:06:33,360
Speaker 1: that you would think a quarterback who takes you to

1528
01:06:33,400 --> 01:06:35,320
Speaker 1: the playoffs every year is supposed to get.

1529
01:06:35,520 --> 01:06:37,360
Speaker 12: Yeah, and the quarterback who's the team leader, who has

1530
01:06:37,400 --> 01:06:39,440
Speaker 12: done it right, who has nick caseiros, that has bounced

1531
01:06:39,440 --> 01:06:43,280
Speaker 12: back and responded to every situation in as positive a

1532
01:06:43,320 --> 01:06:46,000
Speaker 12: way as possible. He's out in California now working on

1533
01:06:46,080 --> 01:06:48,240
Speaker 12: his game, honing his game and trying to get back

1534
01:06:48,240 --> 01:06:50,800
Speaker 12: to the level of play that he had as a

1535
01:06:50,880 --> 01:06:54,320
Speaker 12: rookie and certainly at times last year as well. You're right,

1536
01:06:54,360 --> 01:06:57,480
Speaker 12: the question really isn't is CJ. Stroud going to be

1537
01:06:57,640 --> 01:07:00,120
Speaker 12: the Houston Texans quarterback he is? Is he going to

1538
01:07:00,160 --> 01:07:03,400
Speaker 12: be the elite, elite franchise guy that you have literally

1539
01:07:03,560 --> 01:07:06,000
Speaker 12: no choice but to pay. And the fact that they

1540
01:07:06,000 --> 01:07:08,200
Speaker 12: don't have a firm one hundred percent answer, the fact

1541
01:07:08,200 --> 01:07:11,360
Speaker 12: that the contract extension may Mike wait until next year.

1542
01:07:11,640 --> 01:07:15,080
Speaker 12: That is okay because what we've learned, including from Sam

1543
01:07:15,160 --> 01:07:17,720
Speaker 12: Darnold just won the Super Bowl, sometimes it takes a

1544
01:07:17,760 --> 01:07:20,439
Speaker 12: little bit of time for a quarterback to figure out

1545
01:07:20,600 --> 01:07:23,080
Speaker 12: what they are and what we are going to see,

1546
01:07:23,080 --> 01:07:25,880
Speaker 12: and I think for CJ. Stroud that is what is

1547
01:07:25,960 --> 01:07:29,080
Speaker 12: on him. This offseason to see how good he can be.

1548
01:07:29,240 --> 01:07:32,040
Speaker 13: You come to Indianapolis knowing that the general managers and

1549
01:07:32,040 --> 01:07:33,920
Speaker 13: head coaches are going to become available, and you've got

1550
01:07:33,920 --> 01:07:36,600
Speaker 13: this bingo card of things that are going to be

1551
01:07:36,640 --> 01:07:38,960
Speaker 13: addressed Max Crosby, AJ Brown.

1552
01:07:39,000 --> 01:07:41,560
Speaker 2: They would have been on my Bengo card CJ. Stroud.

1553
01:07:41,600 --> 01:07:43,760
Speaker 2: I mean, I don't even know what these trade route

1554
01:07:44,240 --> 01:07:44,960
Speaker 2: I don't know.

1555
01:07:45,000 --> 01:07:48,280
Speaker 13: I mean, I know everything is talked about and suggested

1556
01:07:48,400 --> 01:07:51,440
Speaker 13: at some point by somebody, because there's just so many voices,

1557
01:07:51,480 --> 01:07:53,680
Speaker 13: and even the fans have voices, and everybody's got voices.

1558
01:07:53,680 --> 01:07:56,000
Speaker 13: But I don't know that this was anything that I

1559
01:07:56,000 --> 01:07:58,400
Speaker 13: had a discussion about with anybody. And I came away

1560
01:07:58,440 --> 01:08:02,000
Speaker 13: saying should I have? Because I do understand, and I

1561
01:08:02,040 --> 01:08:04,240
Speaker 13: do believe, and I do know that the Texans believe

1562
01:08:04,280 --> 01:08:06,800
Speaker 13: he's got to play better. They understand that part of

1563
01:08:06,840 --> 01:08:08,720
Speaker 13: it and what can they do to help him play

1564
01:08:08,720 --> 01:08:10,960
Speaker 13: better in twenty twenty six. But I never got the

1565
01:08:10,960 --> 01:08:14,440
Speaker 13: sense that any trade rumors were possible in the Caserio, say,

1566
01:08:14,440 --> 01:08:14,800
Speaker 13: putting it.

1567
01:08:14,800 --> 01:08:16,559
Speaker 2: To bed, I don't even know if it was awake Judy.

1568
01:08:17,040 --> 01:08:19,360
Speaker 11: Yeah, I would be curious what the genesis of that

1569
01:08:19,600 --> 01:08:21,679
Speaker 11: question is I don't know where it came from, having

1570
01:08:21,720 --> 01:08:23,760
Speaker 11: said that he does have to play better. I mean

1571
01:08:23,800 --> 01:08:26,519
Speaker 11: he had, and the expectations were so high because the

1572
01:08:26,600 --> 01:08:30,400
Speaker 11: rookie season was so impressive. He was the offensive Rookie

1573
01:08:30,439 --> 01:08:33,519
Speaker 11: of the Year, and it just has not gotten back

1574
01:08:33,560 --> 01:08:36,960
Speaker 11: to that level. He did show flashes of it this season,

1575
01:08:37,320 --> 01:08:40,000
Speaker 11: but look, the lingering memory is going to be that

1576
01:08:40,120 --> 01:08:42,800
Speaker 11: meltdown in the playoff game. They have to spend the

1577
01:08:42,800 --> 01:08:45,400
Speaker 11: off season. He has to spend the off season examining

1578
01:08:46,000 --> 01:08:48,320
Speaker 11: why he cannot get back to that high level of

1579
01:08:48,400 --> 01:08:51,800
Speaker 11: consistent play, and they have to examine as an organization

1580
01:08:52,160 --> 01:08:54,160
Speaker 11: what they need to put around him, what they need

1581
01:08:54,200 --> 01:08:56,960
Speaker 11: to do to support him to get him back close

1582
01:08:57,000 --> 01:09:00,160
Speaker 11: to that level of play and more importantly, consistent level.

1583
01:09:00,320 --> 01:09:01,840
Speaker 15: We all play Devil's advocate on this.

1584
01:09:02,320 --> 01:09:04,920
Speaker 1: The reason that any type of those rumors would exist

1585
01:09:04,960 --> 01:09:07,719
Speaker 1: is this, there are somewhere between seven to ten teams

1586
01:09:07,760 --> 01:09:09,559
Speaker 1: that we don't know who their starting quarterback is going

1587
01:09:09,600 --> 01:09:11,920
Speaker 1: to be in twenty twenty six. There's not a lot

1588
01:09:11,920 --> 01:09:14,439
Speaker 1: out there in free agency. Malik Willison might get paid

1589
01:09:14,479 --> 01:09:16,280
Speaker 1: more than anybody who wants to pay him. You're now

1590
01:09:16,320 --> 01:09:17,920
Speaker 1: looking at a bunch of guys who might get cut

1591
01:09:18,040 --> 01:09:20,439
Speaker 1: it's not a really strong draft. In other words, if

1592
01:09:20,439 --> 01:09:23,240
Speaker 1: you've got a quarterback who's played at a high enough level,

1593
01:09:23,360 --> 01:09:25,360
Speaker 1: but that the Texans who know him better than anyone

1594
01:09:25,400 --> 01:09:27,559
Speaker 1: might be considering, do we pay him, do we go

1595
01:09:27,640 --> 01:09:30,320
Speaker 1: down that road or do we reset? It makes sense

1596
01:09:30,400 --> 01:09:33,439
Speaker 1: to call and inquire up until that moment when you

1597
01:09:33,479 --> 01:09:35,680
Speaker 1: sign a new contract that locks the player in for

1598
01:09:35,720 --> 01:09:38,160
Speaker 1: the long haul. That's exactly the type of player that

1599
01:09:38,280 --> 01:09:40,559
Speaker 1: another team would potentially target.

1600
01:09:41,960 --> 01:09:45,560
Speaker 13: Joe Burrow, Yes, Zach Taylor said, he's one of the

1601
01:09:45,560 --> 01:09:46,719
Speaker 13: greatest competitors I ever been around.

1602
01:09:46,720 --> 01:09:48,400
Speaker 2: See that right there on the bottom of the screen. Yeah,

1603
01:09:48,439 --> 01:09:48,920
Speaker 2: that's right.

1604
01:09:49,640 --> 01:09:52,439
Speaker 13: We had a chance to talk to Joe Burrow or

1605
01:09:52,439 --> 01:09:56,080
Speaker 13: excuse me two, Zach Taylor about Joe Burrow, about many things,

1606
01:09:56,320 --> 01:09:59,439
Speaker 13: Cincinnati Bengals. I sat down with Taylor earlier today here

1607
01:09:59,439 --> 01:10:02,880
Speaker 13: now with the uh suddenly the gray beard of the Division.

1608
01:10:02,880 --> 01:10:04,679
Speaker 2: Of the of the AFC North.

1609
01:10:04,960 --> 01:10:07,679
Speaker 13: We've believed and Zach Taylor is the longest tenured guy.

1610
01:10:08,360 --> 01:10:10,120
Speaker 13: Did you realize that at some point and say, all

1611
01:10:10,160 --> 01:10:12,280
Speaker 13: of a sudden, I'm the I'm the elder statesman.

1612
01:10:12,439 --> 01:10:14,360
Speaker 26: Yeah, I mean, my hair is definitely getting Grayer by

1613
01:10:14,400 --> 01:10:16,600
Speaker 26: the year, there's no question. So it feels feels a

1614
01:10:16,600 --> 01:10:18,720
Speaker 26: little right that way, but it's wild. I mean, the

1615
01:10:18,760 --> 01:10:20,479
Speaker 26: three guys that I've got a lot of respect for

1616
01:10:20,720 --> 01:10:22,360
Speaker 26: that that did the right way for a long time

1617
01:10:22,439 --> 01:10:25,280
Speaker 26: at a high level, and so obviously a different era

1618
01:10:25,320 --> 01:10:26,240
Speaker 26: that we're walking into now.

1619
01:10:26,360 --> 01:10:28,439
Speaker 13: So how do you approach this offseason for you guys

1620
01:10:28,439 --> 01:10:30,280
Speaker 13: and where you need to be on both sides of

1621
01:10:30,320 --> 01:10:32,680
Speaker 13: the ball. What's the biggest objective for you when you

1622
01:10:32,680 --> 01:10:34,840
Speaker 13: say getting back to the Bengals football.

1623
01:10:34,479 --> 01:10:35,720
Speaker 4: That we've seen in recent years.

1624
01:10:35,800 --> 01:10:36,720
Speaker 6: Well, I mean, we're here now.

1625
01:10:36,800 --> 01:10:38,479
Speaker 26: We're trying to find the best players that fit us,

1626
01:10:39,000 --> 01:10:40,600
Speaker 26: and there's a lot of good ones we're talking to

1627
01:10:40,600 --> 01:10:42,280
Speaker 26: you so far. Look forward to seeing these guys work

1628
01:10:42,320 --> 01:10:45,120
Speaker 26: out free agency because free agency is gonna be exciting

1629
01:10:45,120 --> 01:10:47,640
Speaker 26: as it always is, and I'm excited. We've got a

1630
01:10:47,640 --> 01:10:51,400
Speaker 26: great nucleus of guys coming back that are hungry, disappointed,

1631
01:10:52,640 --> 01:10:54,519
Speaker 26: ready to put a new foot forward and go have

1632
01:10:54,560 --> 01:10:55,040
Speaker 26: some success.

1633
01:10:55,080 --> 01:10:57,280
Speaker 13: So I'm excited about Duke Tobin up there right now

1634
01:10:57,360 --> 01:11:00,400
Speaker 13: being asked about the possibility of Trey Henderson's coming back

1635
01:11:00,400 --> 01:11:01,120
Speaker 13: into the franchise.

1636
01:11:01,120 --> 01:11:04,280
Speaker 2: Tag We've reported hadn't been ruled out. Where do you

1637
01:11:04,320 --> 01:11:06,000
Speaker 2: stand on that? How badly would you like to have

1638
01:11:06,000 --> 01:11:06,720
Speaker 2: trade back in the folk?

1639
01:11:06,800 --> 01:11:08,680
Speaker 26: Yeah, he's a great player, and so again we'll let

1640
01:11:08,680 --> 01:11:10,519
Speaker 26: the chips fall as they may and still have some

1641
01:11:10,600 --> 01:11:11,519
Speaker 26: time to sort all that out.

1642
01:11:11,760 --> 01:11:14,800
Speaker 13: You went through this with him last season and you

1643
01:11:14,880 --> 01:11:16,280
Speaker 13: got to the point where you guys can come to

1644
01:11:16,280 --> 01:11:18,639
Speaker 13: an agreement to get him back and to get him

1645
01:11:18,640 --> 01:11:20,880
Speaker 13: focused and get him ready to play the fact that

1646
01:11:20,880 --> 01:11:22,559
Speaker 13: he went through that already once with him, does that.

1647
01:11:22,520 --> 01:11:24,240
Speaker 2: Help potentially to have these conversations now?

1648
01:11:24,360 --> 01:11:26,080
Speaker 26: I think every news years a new year, you know,

1649
01:11:26,120 --> 01:11:28,120
Speaker 26: and every contracts a little bit different, Every player is

1650
01:11:28,120 --> 01:11:30,000
Speaker 26: a little bit different. So again, we still got a

1651
01:11:30,040 --> 01:11:31,599
Speaker 26: couple weeks to sort that out, and we'll take all that.

1652
01:11:31,520 --> 01:11:33,640
Speaker 13: Time, regardless of whether it's tre or maybe you're going

1653
01:11:33,640 --> 01:11:35,000
Speaker 13: out and you find their free agent or a trade

1654
01:11:35,040 --> 01:11:37,600
Speaker 13: or whatever. Getting after the quarterbacks a big part of

1655
01:11:37,640 --> 01:11:39,680
Speaker 13: what you have to do. How much is that going

1656
01:11:39,680 --> 01:11:41,840
Speaker 13: to be a priority for you on the defenses here?

1657
01:11:42,040 --> 01:11:43,000
Speaker 26: It's always our priority?

1658
01:11:43,040 --> 01:11:43,160
Speaker 4: You know.

1659
01:11:43,200 --> 01:11:44,439
Speaker 26: You just look at the playoffs and you look at

1660
01:11:44,439 --> 01:11:46,719
Speaker 26: all these teams are getting after the quarterback, attacking these guys,

1661
01:11:46,760 --> 01:11:49,000
Speaker 26: and they've done a great job up front. So we're

1662
01:11:49,000 --> 01:11:51,639
Speaker 26: continue to try to build that way, and again there's

1663
01:11:51,680 --> 01:11:53,240
Speaker 26: a lot of pieces out there that we can continue

1664
01:11:53,280 --> 01:11:55,200
Speaker 26: to add and we're excited to approach it that way.

1665
01:11:55,200 --> 01:11:57,880
Speaker 2: What progress do you think your defense made this past year?

1666
01:11:58,000 --> 01:12:01,000
Speaker 13: Because if you look even from a number standpoint at

1667
01:12:01,040 --> 01:12:04,160
Speaker 13: what happened early in the season versus late in the season,

1668
01:12:04,200 --> 01:12:06,360
Speaker 13: there was improvement there and even the eye tests, these

1669
01:12:06,400 --> 01:12:08,080
Speaker 13: kind of started to play faster and more aggressive.

1670
01:12:08,160 --> 01:12:08,720
Speaker 9: I agree with you.

1671
01:12:08,760 --> 01:12:10,040
Speaker 26: I think in the second half of the year things

1672
01:12:10,040 --> 01:12:12,840
Speaker 26: started to settle in for everybody, coaches, players, everybody getting

1673
01:12:12,840 --> 01:12:15,559
Speaker 26: on the same page and having some success. Ultimately, we

1674
01:12:15,560 --> 01:12:17,080
Speaker 26: didn't do nearly the things we need to do as

1675
01:12:17,080 --> 01:12:19,960
Speaker 26: a football team, and so again there's still that bitter

1676
01:12:20,000 --> 01:12:21,840
Speaker 26: taste in our mouth that we already to move on from.

1677
01:12:21,920 --> 01:12:23,960
Speaker 26: But I do think in the second half of the season,

1678
01:12:23,960 --> 01:12:25,679
Speaker 26: those guys had a lot more confidence and that's something

1679
01:12:25,720 --> 01:12:27,280
Speaker 26: to build on going forward because we had a lot

1680
01:12:27,280 --> 01:12:28,720
Speaker 26: of young players on other side of the ball as well.

1681
01:12:28,920 --> 01:12:31,360
Speaker 13: Was it a growing belief in your defensive coordinator? Now,

1682
01:12:31,520 --> 01:12:33,160
Speaker 13: what do you tell al after this past year.

1683
01:12:33,280 --> 01:12:34,960
Speaker 26: I've always had great belief and now I've worked at

1684
01:12:35,000 --> 01:12:36,360
Speaker 26: alf you know when we went to the Super Bowl

1685
01:12:36,360 --> 01:12:39,280
Speaker 26: and before that, and so I'm excited about what he

1686
01:12:39,320 --> 01:12:41,120
Speaker 26: brings to the table and that whole coaching staff, and

1687
01:12:41,320 --> 01:12:43,280
Speaker 26: I know these players believe in what we're doing, and

1688
01:12:43,320 --> 01:12:45,599
Speaker 26: so we just got to continue to build on kind

1689
01:12:45,600 --> 01:12:46,880
Speaker 26: of have the season end of last year.

1690
01:12:46,720 --> 01:12:48,519
Speaker 13: On the offensive side of the ball. Obviously, it starts

1691
01:12:48,520 --> 01:12:52,760
Speaker 13: with your quarterback. He seemed down last year. You talked

1692
01:12:52,800 --> 01:12:55,759
Speaker 13: about disappointed being a word across the board, but certainly

1693
01:12:55,800 --> 01:12:57,880
Speaker 13: with him, how do you make sure he's in the

1694
01:12:57,960 --> 01:13:00,280
Speaker 13: right frame of mind. I know he's been through a lot,

1695
01:13:00,360 --> 01:13:02,599
Speaker 13: and he's been through injuries and all that stuff. How

1696
01:13:02,640 --> 01:13:04,400
Speaker 13: do you get him right when he comes back and

1697
01:13:04,439 --> 01:13:05,680
Speaker 13: reports for the off season.

1698
01:13:05,479 --> 01:13:06,320
Speaker 4: He'll be right, you know.

1699
01:13:06,400 --> 01:13:08,400
Speaker 26: He and I have talked quite a bit, and so

1700
01:13:08,840 --> 01:13:10,400
Speaker 26: again we're all on the same page. We're excited to

1701
01:13:10,400 --> 01:13:12,280
Speaker 26: get back to work. We're excited to get this football

1702
01:13:12,280 --> 01:13:13,760
Speaker 26: team head in the right direction so we can win

1703
01:13:13,800 --> 01:13:16,160
Speaker 26: some games and be in the playoffs and compete for

1704
01:13:16,160 --> 01:13:16,680
Speaker 26: all the things that.

1705
01:13:16,680 --> 01:13:17,599
Speaker 6: We did a couple of years ago.

1706
01:13:17,720 --> 01:13:20,519
Speaker 26: And so we're lucky to have him, and I know

1707
01:13:20,560 --> 01:13:21,920
Speaker 26: he's chopping up a bit to get back and get

1708
01:13:21,960 --> 01:13:22,200
Speaker 26: to work.

1709
01:13:22,240 --> 01:13:24,519
Speaker 13: I know, those conversations are between you two and we'll

1710
01:13:24,560 --> 01:13:25,000
Speaker 13: leave him there.

1711
01:13:25,000 --> 01:13:25,880
Speaker 4: I understand that, but.

1712
01:13:26,600 --> 01:13:28,920
Speaker 13: There's that got to be that competitive nature between both

1713
01:13:29,000 --> 01:13:32,080
Speaker 13: you and him that you sort of fuel each other, right.

1714
01:13:32,040 --> 01:13:34,320
Speaker 26: Absolutely, And I think once you've tasted the success that

1715
01:13:34,320 --> 01:13:36,639
Speaker 26: we had tasted and now you're looking at three years

1716
01:13:36,640 --> 01:13:38,280
Speaker 26: where we haven't achieved any of the things that we

1717
01:13:38,360 --> 01:13:42,200
Speaker 26: expected through you know, as a competitor, you're you're hungry

1718
01:13:42,240 --> 01:13:44,519
Speaker 26: to get back into it, and so I like having

1719
01:13:44,600 --> 01:13:46,479
Speaker 26: him by my side and being able to fact from that.

1720
01:13:46,560 --> 01:13:48,400
Speaker 13: Standpoint and having those guys that he can throw too.

1721
01:13:48,439 --> 01:13:49,840
Speaker 13: That was a big part of the last offseason to

1722
01:13:49,960 --> 01:13:53,880
Speaker 13: get that contractually right with Jamar and with t How

1723
01:13:53,880 --> 01:13:55,360
Speaker 13: did that those guys grow this year?

1724
01:13:55,800 --> 01:13:58,240
Speaker 26: I mean, they gave us everything we needed throughout the season.

1725
01:13:58,240 --> 01:14:00,639
Speaker 26: Those two played at a really high level of production.

1726
01:14:00,800 --> 01:14:02,679
Speaker 26: We have a lot of stability coming back on offense,

1727
01:14:02,840 --> 01:14:05,439
Speaker 26: a lot of pieces back to really hit the ground running,

1728
01:14:05,800 --> 01:14:07,640
Speaker 26: and you see the confidence or defense is played with

1729
01:14:07,680 --> 01:14:08,920
Speaker 26: at the end of the year. So I'm really excited

1730
01:14:08,920 --> 01:14:09,880
Speaker 26: to get back to work with these guys.

1731
01:14:10,160 --> 01:14:14,640
Speaker 13: Jamar's made comments, Chase Brown's make comments, and I know

1732
01:14:14,680 --> 01:14:16,360
Speaker 13: that you were asked about those of you comment on

1733
01:14:16,360 --> 01:14:18,240
Speaker 13: those and you want those conversations to stay private. But

1734
01:14:18,720 --> 01:14:21,920
Speaker 13: how do you make sure offense defense, all fifty three

1735
01:14:21,960 --> 01:14:24,439
Speaker 13: guys on the roster ninety really in the off season

1736
01:14:24,640 --> 01:14:27,559
Speaker 13: that everybody's aligned and everybody's at the same mind mindset

1737
01:14:27,560 --> 01:14:28,439
Speaker 13: they are.

1738
01:14:28,520 --> 01:14:29,760
Speaker 26: You know, if you lift the hood and you're in

1739
01:14:29,760 --> 01:14:31,080
Speaker 26: the locker room, you can see how those guys in

1740
01:14:31,080 --> 01:14:33,000
Speaker 26: the records show that they are. They all want us

1741
01:14:33,000 --> 01:14:35,200
Speaker 26: to be as good as we can possibly be. And

1742
01:14:35,200 --> 01:14:36,719
Speaker 26: and so again, we got a lot of great players,

1743
01:14:36,720 --> 01:14:38,439
Speaker 26: a lot of them have opinions. I'm not trying to

1744
01:14:38,520 --> 01:14:41,559
Speaker 26: shelter tell everybody shut out. I don't want that. That's

1745
01:14:41,560 --> 01:14:43,880
Speaker 26: not what we're doing, you know, and those guys work hard.

1746
01:14:43,880 --> 01:14:46,240
Speaker 26: I got a lot of respect for them, and ultimately

1747
01:14:46,240 --> 01:14:47,360
Speaker 26: we just want to have the best team to be

1748
01:14:47,400 --> 01:14:47,840
Speaker 26: able to go win.

1749
01:14:47,920 --> 01:14:50,240
Speaker 13: Everybody's a general manager, I mean, that's what we do

1750
01:14:50,400 --> 01:14:51,120
Speaker 13: for a living man.

1751
01:14:51,200 --> 01:14:52,640
Speaker 2: Everybody's got their opinions.

1752
01:14:53,320 --> 01:14:55,120
Speaker 13: It's just a matter of whether you and the front

1753
01:14:55,160 --> 01:14:57,520
Speaker 13: office agree with them and they align with yours.

1754
01:14:57,560 --> 01:14:59,639
Speaker 26: That's why it's such a great sport. Everyone's got opinions.

1755
01:14:59,680 --> 01:15:03,320
Speaker 26: Everyone he's invested, everyone's passionate about it. There's no greater

1756
01:15:03,360 --> 01:15:04,599
Speaker 26: profession to be in your job.

1757
01:15:04,680 --> 01:15:05,240
Speaker 15: My job.

1758
01:15:06,520 --> 01:15:07,840
Speaker 26: It's it's a lot of fun to do well.

1759
01:15:07,880 --> 01:15:09,680
Speaker 13: I can't wait to talk about it now for the

1760
01:15:09,680 --> 01:15:13,080
Speaker 13: next seven months before we get back to regular season football.

1761
01:15:13,200 --> 01:15:14,720
Speaker 13: Can't wait to see what the Bengals have in store.

1762
01:15:14,760 --> 01:15:16,800
Speaker 13: We'll be with you for OTA's mini camp. We'll be

1763
01:15:16,800 --> 01:15:17,639
Speaker 13: there for training camp.

1764
01:15:17,760 --> 01:15:18,880
Speaker 4: You know that so great.

1765
01:15:19,120 --> 01:15:21,200
Speaker 13: We'll have you again once again, Zach Taylor. Appreciate it,

1766
01:15:21,280 --> 01:15:22,920
Speaker 13: man the elder statesman.

1767
01:15:22,920 --> 01:15:24,960
Speaker 4: I'm just to keep saying that of the a older.

1768
01:15:25,000 --> 01:15:26,800
Speaker 26: As every year passes, I can promise you that.

1769
01:15:26,720 --> 01:15:28,280
Speaker 13: Hey, that hair might be getting great, but at least

1770
01:15:28,280 --> 01:15:33,120
Speaker 13: you have it. Bro, where do I sign for a

1771
01:15:33,160 --> 01:15:34,080
Speaker 13: full head of gray hair?

1772
01:15:34,360 --> 01:15:34,799
Speaker 31: Uh?

Speaker 15: You by Lowe.

1775
01:15:35,920 --> 01:15:37,400
Speaker 2: He signed a big contract a couple.

1776
01:15:37,240 --> 01:15:39,320
Speaker 13: Of years ago, and now John Eric Sullivan, the new

1777
01:15:39,360 --> 01:15:41,479
Speaker 13: GM of the Dolphins, has to decide what to do.

1778
01:15:41,520 --> 01:15:43,679
Speaker 2: He's with our Tom Pellisaro next to the Insiders.

1779
01:15:55,000 --> 01:15:57,880
Speaker 1: Fall signs continue to point to a divorce coming for

1780
01:15:58,000 --> 01:16:00,280
Speaker 1: to a tongue of ay Loa and the Dolphin, with

1781

Speaker 1: new GM John Eric Sullivan today saying that everything is

1782
01:16:04,120 --> 01:16:07,080
Speaker 1: on the table, including the possibility of a trade. I

1783
01:16:07,200 --> 01:16:09,519
Speaker 1: got a chance to speak a little bit more with Sullivan.

1784
01:16:10,240 --> 01:16:12,640
Speaker 1: It's only it's been nonsop go for you for a

1785
01:16:12,640 --> 01:16:15,639
Speaker 1: couple of months here from Packers' playoff appearents to getting

1786
01:16:15,680 --> 01:16:18,000
Speaker 1: the job. But the head coaching search, the assistant coaching search,

1787
01:16:18,040 --> 01:16:19,880
Speaker 1: and the draft rop have you gotten a chance to

1788
01:16:19,960 --> 01:16:22,320
Speaker 1: like look around and take up breath theead and go,

1789
01:16:22,680 --> 01:16:24,360
Speaker 1: I'm the GM of the Miami Dolphins.

1790
01:16:24,600 --> 01:16:27,120
Speaker 14: You know what, It's been fast and furious. It's all

1791
01:16:27,160 --> 01:16:30,000
Speaker 14: been really good. It's been educational.

1792
01:16:30,560 --> 01:16:32,280
Speaker 9: I actually got this past weekend.

1793
01:16:32,360 --> 01:16:34,479
Speaker 14: I snuck home on Friday and kind of got to

1794
01:16:34,520 --> 01:16:36,559
Speaker 14: unplug for two days with my kids for four to

1795
01:16:36,560 --> 01:16:38,840
Speaker 14: eight hours. It was nice to kind of sit back

1796
01:16:38,880 --> 01:16:41,320
Speaker 14: and reflect on what has been kind of where we're at,

1797
01:16:41,439 --> 01:16:44,400
Speaker 14: where I'm at, But it's been a lot of really

1798
01:16:44,400 --> 01:16:46,960
Speaker 14: really good, very very impressed with the Dolphins, who they

1799
01:16:47,000 --> 01:16:50,080
Speaker 14: have in the building, great support staff.

1800
01:16:50,080 --> 01:16:53,400
Speaker 9: We just got done with draft meetings. All went really smooth,

1801
01:16:53,439 --> 01:16:55,680
Speaker 9: So so very happy and excited about where we are.

1802
01:16:55,760 --> 01:16:57,439
Speaker 1: Also nice to get back to Green Bay, feel that

1803
01:16:57,479 --> 01:16:59,040
Speaker 1: weather one more time and they go, I know I

1804
01:16:59,120 --> 01:16:59,799
Speaker 1: live in Miami.

1805
01:17:00,040 --> 01:17:02,320
Speaker 14: I will say this, like listen, I will miss the

1806
01:17:02,400 --> 01:17:03,880
Speaker 14: organization I will miss the people.

1807
01:17:04,640 --> 01:17:06,720
Speaker 9: It's a good trade in terms of weather, it's been

1808
01:17:06,800 --> 01:17:07,439
Speaker 9: very nice.

1809
01:17:07,280 --> 01:17:10,479
Speaker 14: To walk around the practice fields at launch, return phone calls.

1810
01:17:10,479 --> 01:17:12,200
Speaker 9: It's seventy five and Sonny, I'll take it.

1811
01:17:12,479 --> 01:17:13,719
Speaker 4: You set up at the podium.

1812
01:17:13,840 --> 01:17:15,800
Speaker 1: All options around the table when it comes to two,

1813
01:17:15,840 --> 01:17:17,639
Speaker 1: A ton of low including a trade.

1814
01:17:17,680 --> 01:17:20,000
Speaker 4: Sure you've spoken of teams. I'm sure at this point.

1815
01:17:20,200 --> 01:17:21,760
Speaker 4: What's your level of confidence.

1816
01:17:21,320 --> 01:17:25,000
Speaker 1: If any that a trade, given the circumstances, will actually happen.

1817
01:17:25,280 --> 01:17:25,559
Speaker 27: Sure.

1818
01:17:25,600 --> 01:17:27,719
Speaker 14: I mean, I think anytime there's a quarterback in play,

1819
01:17:28,080 --> 01:17:30,679
Speaker 14: you have a chance. Right, It's the most important position

1820
01:17:30,720 --> 01:17:31,839
Speaker 14: in professional sports.

1821
01:17:32,200 --> 01:17:32,360
Speaker 4: Too.

1822
01:17:32,400 --> 01:17:34,080
Speaker 14: Has accomplished a lot in this league. He's been a

1823
01:17:34,080 --> 01:17:37,280
Speaker 14: good player in this league. I think that's intriguing to teams.

1824
01:17:37,920 --> 01:17:39,920
Speaker 14: Who's to say where it will go. We've had some

1825
01:17:39,960 --> 01:17:43,960
Speaker 14: productive conversations. We'll kind of see how it plays itself out.

1826
01:17:43,960 --> 01:17:45,840
Speaker 14: But I do think anytime you have a quarterback in

1827
01:17:45,880 --> 01:17:48,720
Speaker 14: play who's been success successful in the league, he gives

1828
01:17:48,720 --> 01:17:49,200
Speaker 14: you a chance.

1829
01:17:49,560 --> 01:17:51,840
Speaker 1: You came up in Green Bay and you saw, you

1830
01:17:51,920 --> 01:17:54,240
Speaker 1: know how the entire lineage of that organization has been

1831
01:17:54,320 --> 01:17:57,360
Speaker 1: not just having starting quarterbacks, but having backup quarterbacks and

1832
01:17:57,400 --> 01:17:59,280
Speaker 1: having depth of the position you got, Quinn, youwers in

1833
01:17:59,320 --> 01:18:01,880
Speaker 1: the building. You potentially could draft one, you could sign one,

1834
01:18:01,920 --> 01:18:04,599
Speaker 1: you could trade for one yourself. What is your personal

1835
01:18:04,600 --> 01:18:06,640
Speaker 1: philosophy on how you need to construct that room, not

1836
01:18:06,680 --> 01:18:08,479
Speaker 1: just for twenty twenty six, but in the big picture.

1837
01:18:08,720 --> 01:18:11,559
Speaker 14: Yeah, I think the main thing that to the main

1838
01:18:11,600 --> 01:18:12,959
Speaker 14: speaking point here is competition.

1839
01:18:13,200 --> 01:18:15,320
Speaker 9: We have to infuse competition into that room.

1840
01:18:15,680 --> 01:18:17,519
Speaker 14: And what that looks like. I can't sit here and

1841
01:18:17,560 --> 01:18:20,040
Speaker 14: tell you today. We could sign a free agent, we

1842
01:18:20,080 --> 01:18:23,280
Speaker 14: could draft one, we could draft two. The important thing

1843
01:18:23,320 --> 01:18:26,160
Speaker 14: for me to do is to infuse competition into that

1844
01:18:26,240 --> 01:18:29,519
Speaker 14: room this year, next year, until until we find our

1845
01:18:29,600 --> 01:18:32,120
Speaker 14: long term solution that we can chase championships with.

1846
01:18:32,520 --> 01:18:34,240
Speaker 1: You saw one guy that you had in the building

1847
01:18:34,280 --> 01:18:36,320
Speaker 1: last year in Green Bay, Molik Willis played pretty good

1848
01:18:36,320 --> 01:18:38,840
Speaker 1: when he got his opportunity. Do you have to on

1849
01:18:38,880 --> 01:18:41,760
Speaker 1: any level guard against the over evaluation you may have

1850
01:18:41,800 --> 01:18:43,720
Speaker 1: done in terms of your own eyeball seeing that guy

1851
01:18:43,760 --> 01:18:46,280
Speaker 1: every day relative to all these other players you have

1852
01:18:46,360 --> 01:18:47,840
Speaker 1: relatively limited exposure too.

1853
01:18:48,040 --> 01:18:50,080
Speaker 14: Yeah, I mean I think it's human nature, right, it's

1854
01:18:50,200 --> 01:18:52,640
Speaker 14: recentcy biased like you have to fight against it.

1855
01:18:53,360 --> 01:18:55,439
Speaker 9: Look, I said back there, and I'll say again.

1856
01:18:55,280 --> 01:18:55,559
Speaker 4: I am.

1857
01:18:55,640 --> 01:18:58,839
Speaker 9: I have a tremendous amount of respect from Malik Willis.

1858
01:18:59,040 --> 01:19:00,599
Speaker 2: I have a lot of like him personally.

1859
01:19:00,680 --> 01:19:03,120
Speaker 9: He's a great kid. I'm very happy that he's in

1860
01:19:03,120 --> 01:19:04,240
Speaker 9: the position that he's in.

1861
01:19:04,600 --> 01:19:06,920
Speaker 14: It's a testament to him and how he played when

1862
01:19:06,920 --> 01:19:10,000
Speaker 14: he got his opportunities. What that looks like for the

1863
01:19:10,000 --> 01:19:10,839
Speaker 14: Miami Dolphins.

1864
01:19:10,840 --> 01:19:12,960
Speaker 9: I can't tell you. You know, we.

1865
01:19:12,920 --> 01:19:15,920
Speaker 14: May sign a free agent, maybe Malik, maybe one of

1866
01:19:16,600 --> 01:19:21,080
Speaker 14: numerous other guys. There's obviously a salary cap implication that

1867
01:19:21,120 --> 01:19:24,559
Speaker 14: we you know, we're in a tough Spotlik. My gut

1868
01:19:24,600 --> 01:19:27,560
Speaker 14: tells me he will not be cheap, So there's a

1869
01:19:27,600 --> 01:19:28,559
Speaker 14: lot of things that we have.

1870
01:19:28,520 --> 01:19:29,080
Speaker 6: To work through.

1871
01:19:29,160 --> 01:19:32,280
Speaker 14: Again, tremendous amount of respect for Malik and happy that

1872
01:19:32,320 --> 01:19:34,640
Speaker 14: he's in the situation he's in. How that looks for

1873
01:19:34,680 --> 01:19:35,800
Speaker 14: the Miami Dolphins.

1874
01:19:35,840 --> 01:19:36,400
Speaker 4: Who's to say.

1875
01:19:36,720 --> 01:19:39,320
Speaker 1: Anytime you come in as a new GM, your odds

1876
01:19:39,320 --> 01:19:41,200
Speaker 1: are you're taking over a franchise that has not been

1877
01:19:41,200 --> 01:19:42,840
Speaker 1: in the playoffs. In the case, the Dolphins has not

1878
01:19:42,880 --> 01:19:45,680
Speaker 1: won a playoff game in literally decades. You want to

1879
01:19:45,680 --> 01:19:48,040
Speaker 1: build this the right way, but how do you balance

1880
01:19:48,520 --> 01:19:51,120
Speaker 1: the appetite, especially among your fan base.

1881
01:19:51,479 --> 01:19:52,599
Speaker 4: We've got to win games.

1882
01:19:52,640 --> 01:19:55,040
Speaker 1: We've got to get back there versus setting this up

1883
01:19:55,040 --> 01:19:57,000
Speaker 1: the right way over the next however, you look at

1884
01:19:57,000 --> 01:19:58,360
Speaker 1: the windows three to five years.

1885
01:19:58,560 --> 01:20:00,639
Speaker 14: Yeah, I think everything we do it has to be

1886
01:20:01,160 --> 01:20:05,400
Speaker 14: you know, disciplined, and long term vision has to be

1887
01:20:05,479 --> 01:20:07,880
Speaker 14: at the forefront. We can't be swayed by emotion. We

1888
01:20:07,920 --> 01:20:11,280
Speaker 14: can't be swayed by pressure external or internal. We have

1889
01:20:11,320 --> 01:20:14,559
Speaker 14: to do the right things by the Miami Dolphins. And

1890
01:20:14,640 --> 01:20:16,719
Speaker 14: I don't think that you can make decisions that allow

1891
01:20:16,760 --> 01:20:18,599
Speaker 14: you to just check a box and sleep good at.

1892
01:20:18,600 --> 01:20:21,080
Speaker 9: Night if it's not good for the long term health

1893
01:20:21,120 --> 01:20:21,920
Speaker 9: and vision of the team.

1894
01:20:22,120 --> 01:20:23,720
Speaker 1: There were a couple of guys on the team now

1895
01:20:23,840 --> 01:20:26,639
Speaker 1: who there were trade callsbelt last year Dolphins got offered

1896
01:20:26,640 --> 01:20:28,320
Speaker 1: a first round picking more for Jalen Waddle.

1897
01:20:28,360 --> 01:20:30,400
Speaker 4: There were calls about Devon ah Chan. I know you

1898
01:20:30,439 --> 01:20:31,880
Speaker 4: want to have a lot of sacred cole as you

1899
01:20:31,880 --> 01:20:34,360
Speaker 4: set up there. Everybody has a certain price. Are those

1900
01:20:34,360 --> 01:20:36,160
Speaker 4: two guys though, that you and vision being a part

1901
01:20:36,200 --> 01:20:37,000
Speaker 4: of the Dolphins movie?

1902
01:20:37,240 --> 01:20:37,559
Speaker 2: I do?

1903
01:20:37,840 --> 01:20:38,040
Speaker 15: You know?

1904
01:20:38,520 --> 01:20:41,400
Speaker 14: You never say never, But those are marvelous football players.

1905
01:20:41,439 --> 01:20:44,760
Speaker 14: They're difference makers, they're good guys in the locker room.

1906
01:20:45,360 --> 01:20:47,640
Speaker 14: Those are guys that I had vision being here for

1907
01:20:47,760 --> 01:20:51,920
Speaker 14: the long term future. Again, you never say never, but

1908
01:20:52,040 --> 01:20:53,960
Speaker 14: I do want those guys to be part of the

1909
01:20:54,000 --> 01:20:56,120
Speaker 14: football team the Miami Dolphins. I think they're guys that

1910
01:20:56,160 --> 01:20:57,680
Speaker 14: you can build around and help they help you win

1911
01:20:57,680 --> 01:20:58,360
Speaker 14: football games.

1912
01:20:58,479 --> 01:21:00,559
Speaker 1: I know you haven't played a game yet, but halfway

1913
01:21:00,960 --> 01:21:02,200
Speaker 1: first month on the job, what do you.

1914
01:21:02,200 --> 01:21:03,280
Speaker 2: Think, sharp?

1915
01:21:03,439 --> 01:21:05,640
Speaker 14: You know, Jeff's got great energy, he's sharp, he's a

1916
01:21:05,640 --> 01:21:07,880
Speaker 14: great football mind. He's a great guy to go to

1917
01:21:07,920 --> 01:21:11,200
Speaker 14: work with every day. I trust him explicitly. Yeah, So

1918
01:21:11,360 --> 01:21:13,280
Speaker 14: I'm really happy with who we have as our head coach.

1919
01:21:13,479 --> 01:21:15,520
Speaker 1: The last thing for you, you've come to the combine

1920
01:21:15,560 --> 01:21:18,040
Speaker 1: for I don't know how many years now, be twenty three,

1921
01:21:18,240 --> 01:21:20,639
Speaker 1: twenty three years, but this is the first time you're

1922
01:21:20,640 --> 01:21:22,960
Speaker 1: going to be the one actually picking that player.

1923
01:21:23,680 --> 01:21:25,200
Speaker 4: What type of preparation are you.

1924
01:21:25,160 --> 01:21:27,080
Speaker 1: Going to do over the next couple of months, whether

1925
01:21:27,120 --> 01:21:30,760
Speaker 1: it's mock drafts, simulating the process to make sure when

1926
01:21:30,760 --> 01:21:33,439
Speaker 1: it comes to it and it's time, do you reat

1927
01:21:33,520 --> 01:21:34,040
Speaker 1: answer the bell.

1928
01:21:34,200 --> 01:21:35,080
Speaker 9: That's a great question.

1929
01:21:35,439 --> 01:21:35,800
Speaker 4: You know what.

1930
01:21:35,880 --> 01:21:38,240
Speaker 14: The kind of the peace of mind that I have

1931
01:21:38,439 --> 01:21:40,400
Speaker 14: is the process that I come from. I'm not gonna

1932
01:21:40,520 --> 01:21:42,599
Speaker 14: do anything different than what I've done for the last

1933
01:21:42,640 --> 01:21:43,320
Speaker 14: twenty two years.

1934
01:21:43,320 --> 01:21:46,559
Speaker 9: I'm just sitting in a different chair. That process will

1935
01:21:46,560 --> 01:21:47,760
Speaker 9: have me prepared.

1936
01:21:47,400 --> 01:21:49,760
Speaker 14: And ready to go when it comes time to pick him,

1937
01:21:49,760 --> 01:21:51,959
Speaker 14: and I have a lot of confidence and peace of mind.

1938
01:21:52,600 --> 01:21:53,240
Speaker 9: In saying that.

1939
01:21:53,560 --> 01:21:54,400
Speaker 4: A fun dout here man.

1940
01:21:54,400 --> 01:21:55,880
Speaker 9: Good to see you, Hey, Great to see you Tom.

1941
01:21:56,080 --> 01:21:59,360
Speaker 11: The tenth annual NFL Women's Forum took place today here

1942
01:21:59,400 --> 01:22:02,760
Speaker 11: in Indianapa, LUs. The event connects women currently working in

1943
01:22:02,800 --> 01:22:06,120
Speaker 11: college football roles and helps them grow their network. A

1944
01:22:06,160 --> 01:22:09,679
Speaker 11: panel of former attendees gave their insights to this year's group,

1945
01:22:10,120 --> 01:22:14,240
Speaker 11: so did Colts owner carle ORSA. Gordon and commissioner Roger Goodell.

1946
01:22:14,840 --> 01:22:17,679
Speaker 33: This program has been one of the most successful programs

1947
01:22:17,680 --> 01:22:23,439
Speaker 33: in the NFL. The results are clear. We have so

1948
01:22:23,520 --> 01:22:25,640
Speaker 33: many young women who are now in the NFL and

1949
01:22:25,680 --> 01:22:30,240
Speaker 33: football positions, also in college football, and we couldn't be

1950
01:22:30,280 --> 01:22:31,400
Speaker 33: proud of the success.

1951
01:22:31,800 --> 01:22:32,320
Speaker 4: One of the.

1952
01:22:32,280 --> 01:22:35,040
Speaker 8: Reasons why I became more involved in coaching is because

1953
01:22:35,080 --> 01:22:37,320
Speaker 8: a lot of people don't actually know what coaches do.

1954
01:22:37,439 --> 01:22:42,080
Speaker 8: It's kind of like a black box in a way. Yeah,

1955
01:22:42,200 --> 01:22:45,200
Speaker 8: you know, so, I think if that's one of your interests,

1956
01:22:45,240 --> 01:22:48,080
Speaker 8: I think all the coaches that are here, you know

1957
01:22:48,200 --> 01:22:52,640
Speaker 8: they're culturally. I think that's what's been really exciting is

1958
01:22:52,640 --> 01:22:56,719
Speaker 8: to see how many teams have just kind of gone

1959
01:22:56,760 --> 01:22:59,479
Speaker 8: all in on this. And it doesn't matter, like Sam said,

1960
01:22:59,479 --> 01:23:03,360
Speaker 8: whether you're girl or one sorry or a man. If

1961
01:23:03,400 --> 01:23:07,120
Speaker 8: your talent and your passion is working in football, then

1962
01:23:07,439 --> 01:23:08,040
Speaker 8: go for it.

1963
01:23:10,160 --> 01:23:13,519
Speaker 1: The first franchise tag has now officially been applied to

1964
01:23:13,880 --> 01:23:16,960
Speaker 1: Falcons tight end Kyle Pitts Senior, who gets a one

1965
01:23:17,040 --> 01:23:21,120
Speaker 1: year tender worth upwards of fifteen million dollars for that year.

Speaker 1: Also buis until July fifteenth to work out a long

1967
01:23:23,280 --> 01:23:26,240

1968
01:23:26,280 --> 01:23:28,760

1969
01:23:28,800 --> 01:23:29,320

01:23:36,760 --> 01:23:37,519
Speaker 1: like you're in pain.

1974
01:23:37,880 --> 01:23:39,760

Speaker 3: whatever the heck that is.

1978
01:23:45,320 --> 01:23:47,240
Speaker 1: I like that you started with the oversized suit and

1979
01:23:47,280 --> 01:23:49,559
