Speaker 2: A lot to get to this hour, which includes one

11
00:00:28,668 --> 00:00:31,188
Speaker 2: of the early on our list draft prospects that we

12
00:00:31,228 --> 00:00:33,908
Speaker 2: get to interview, a defensive lineman out of Alabama and LT.

13
00:00:34,028 --> 00:00:34,468
Speaker 3: Overton.

14
00:00:35,788 --> 00:00:38,428
Speaker 2: I think so sure in April, let's call at that

15
00:00:38,588 --> 00:00:40,468
Speaker 2: all right, you can't take that for me.

16
00:00:40,868 --> 00:00:42,188
Speaker 3: Let's start CMFF.

17
00:00:56,108 --> 00:00:57,908
Speaker 4: Good Morning Football.

18
00:00:58,468 --> 00:00:58,948
Speaker 3: That's right.

19
00:00:58,988 --> 00:01:02,588
Speaker 5: Good morning to all thirty two teams, the fans, the coaches,

20
00:01:02,628 --> 00:01:05,028
Speaker 5: the families, what have you. It is the office, but

21
00:01:05,188 --> 00:01:08,348
Speaker 5: that means we are picking apart every single team just

22
00:01:08,388 --> 00:01:10,108
Speaker 5: to make sure we really look under the hood in

23
00:01:10,148 --> 00:01:13,268
Speaker 5: the off season. Jamie man's Isaiah and Covinda here. Jason,

24
00:01:13,308 --> 00:01:15,068
Speaker 5: I'm gonna start with you eventually once we set the

25
00:01:15,068 --> 00:01:17,948
Speaker 5: table here on the Detroit Lions. The NFC North is

26
00:01:17,988 --> 00:01:21,388
Speaker 5: an absolute crazy competitive division.

27
00:01:21,788 --> 00:01:23,308
Speaker 3: Exit's an absolute Guntlet it right.

28
00:01:23,508 --> 00:01:26,308
Speaker 2: And Dan Campbell spoke this week about what the future

29
00:01:26,348 --> 00:01:29,228
Speaker 2: looks like for the Lions, and in true Dan Campbell formed,

30
00:01:29,668 --> 00:01:33,748
Speaker 2: we got a couple of great words in here. The Lions,

31
00:01:33,788 --> 00:01:35,468
Speaker 2: This is from Dan Campbell, have the hard part down.

32
00:01:35,548 --> 00:01:37,868
Speaker 2: We got the quarterback. We have two receivers, a tight end,

33
00:01:38,068 --> 00:01:41,228
Speaker 2: a back, a couple of backs. Now actually got a friggin' dackle.

34
00:01:41,628 --> 00:01:44,548
Speaker 2: We got brigin' much, we got Jack, we got Branch.

35
00:01:44,668 --> 00:01:47,108
Speaker 3: So fun to say we got these pieces.

36
00:01:46,708 --> 00:01:49,068
Speaker 2: In certain areas that we just have to help compliment

37
00:01:49,148 --> 00:01:49,628
Speaker 2: those guys.

38
00:01:49,708 --> 00:01:51,108
Speaker 3: Nobody said it's going to be easy.

39
00:01:51,388 --> 00:01:53,788
Speaker 2: But the future looks if I may add lip frickin'

40
00:01:53,788 --> 00:01:56,508
Speaker 2: bright for the NFL, for the Detroit Lions.

41
00:01:56,228 --> 00:01:58,148
Speaker 3: All right, Commanda, it's so fun.

42
00:01:58,348 --> 00:02:00,508
Speaker 2: But to be given the permission to say it is

43
00:02:00,588 --> 00:02:02,948
Speaker 2: thank you, coach Commanda.

44
00:02:03,188 --> 00:02:05,628
Speaker 3: The future is it right for the Lions according to you.

45
00:02:06,228 --> 00:02:09,628
Speaker 6: Ah man, this is coming from a Lion, though it's

46
00:02:09,668 --> 00:02:12,548
Speaker 6: just tough for me. Look, the thing I don't love

47
00:02:12,588 --> 00:02:15,028
Speaker 6: about the lines right now is we clearly keep getting

48
00:02:15,068 --> 00:02:17,588
Speaker 6: the injury bug every single year. And I don't know

49
00:02:17,628 --> 00:02:19,388
Speaker 6: whether that's dude, of the way we're practicing, the way

50
00:02:19,428 --> 00:02:20,068
Speaker 6: we're doing things.

51
00:02:20,108 --> 00:02:20,668
Speaker 7: Whatever the case.

52
00:02:20,708 --> 00:02:22,868
Speaker 6: We all know Dan Campbell man, he's one way, one

53
00:02:22,948 --> 00:02:25,708
Speaker 6: hundred percent, full speed, all go, all the time.

54
00:02:26,108 --> 00:02:26,988
Speaker 7: Cool, love it.

55
00:02:27,308 --> 00:02:29,348
Speaker 6: But you look at Brian Branch coming off of Nikeilles,

56
00:02:29,388 --> 00:02:32,148
Speaker 6: you look at Kirby Jobsph coming off a tough knee injury.

57
00:02:32,188 --> 00:02:35,308
Speaker 6: You lost Alex Azeloni, and yes, Jack Campbell stepped up

58
00:02:35,348 --> 00:02:38,188
Speaker 6: all pro last year, did a good job. But there's

59
00:02:38,348 --> 00:02:41,188
Speaker 6: just some injury things that are going on that are

60
00:02:41,228 --> 00:02:43,228
Speaker 6: tough to come back from. Terry and Arnold, a little

61
00:02:43,228 --> 00:02:47,508
Speaker 6: bit of off field issues. Offensively, you lose David Montgomery.

62
00:02:47,788 --> 00:02:50,508
Speaker 6: So and some of these guys are real leaders in

63
00:02:50,548 --> 00:02:53,188
Speaker 6: the locker room demo, Alex Andzeloni, these are these are

64
00:02:53,228 --> 00:02:55,948
Speaker 6: real centerpieces, glue guys like we like to call them

65
00:02:56,148 --> 00:02:58,148
Speaker 6: in that locker room. And I know Dan Campbell does

66
00:02:58,148 --> 00:03:00,388
Speaker 6: a great job establishing the culture. I'm not super worried

67
00:03:00,388 --> 00:03:01,868
Speaker 6: about it. But at the end of the day, the

68
00:03:01,868 --> 00:03:04,348
Speaker 6: best teams that I've been a part of are teams

69
00:03:04,548 --> 00:03:07,108
Speaker 6: a player led, and I'm not necessarily questioning the leadership

70
00:03:07,108 --> 00:03:07,428
Speaker 6: you too got.

71
00:03:07,468 --> 00:03:08,788
Speaker 7: I'm ros Saint Brown, Jared goff.

72
00:03:08,828 --> 00:03:10,628
Speaker 6: They're guys in that locker room still, but there are

73
00:03:10,668 --> 00:03:12,708
Speaker 6: some blue guys that they've lost. So I'm I'm a

74
00:03:12,748 --> 00:03:16,428
Speaker 6: bit worried knowing that the Chicago Bears are coming up,

75
00:03:16,508 --> 00:03:19,388
Speaker 6: and you know there's there's a movement going on that conference.

76
00:03:19,428 --> 00:03:21,188
Speaker 7: So I'm a bit worried.

77
00:03:21,268 --> 00:03:24,508
Speaker 8: Okay, So I think it looks bright or it's it's.

78
00:03:24,388 --> 00:03:28,428
Speaker 6: A little I think it looks like lukewarm.

79
00:03:28,988 --> 00:03:29,868
Speaker 3: The lights are dimmed.

80
00:03:29,948 --> 00:03:32,188
Speaker 7: Yeah, they're dimned, they're little, they're dim Okay.

81
00:03:32,308 --> 00:03:32,508
Speaker 8: Yeah.

82
00:03:32,548 --> 00:03:35,388
Speaker 1: And so you mentioned the name Copinda on there that

83
00:03:35,428 --> 00:03:37,908
Speaker 1: I think is going to have a tremendous impact, and

84
00:03:38,068 --> 00:03:41,188
Speaker 1: his name is David Montgomery. Him leaving going over to

85
00:03:41,948 --> 00:03:45,068
Speaker 1: the Houston Texans. When I was in New Orleans, we

86
00:03:45,148 --> 00:03:49,388
Speaker 1: had electric all everything out in Kamara, right.

87
00:03:49,308 --> 00:03:51,588
Speaker 8: And I equate him to Gibbs.

88
00:03:52,228 --> 00:03:55,468
Speaker 1: But then we had Mark and Mark was that locker

89
00:03:55,548 --> 00:03:57,228
Speaker 1: room cultural piece.

90
00:03:57,388 --> 00:04:00,388
Speaker 8: He was the juice. Like whenever you needed the team

91
00:04:00,508 --> 00:04:01,788
Speaker 8: to rally and.

92
00:04:01,748 --> 00:04:04,148
Speaker 1: Get the guys going out of a slump, you look

93
00:04:04,188 --> 00:04:06,988
Speaker 1: to Mark. Mark was a guy that got the team going,

94
00:04:07,068 --> 00:04:08,708
Speaker 1: especially on the offensive side of the ball. And that

95
00:04:08,748 --> 00:04:11,508
Speaker 1: was even Withdrew there. When we lost Mark to the

96
00:04:11,548 --> 00:04:14,228
Speaker 1: Baltimore Ravens that we lost a heartbeat, you know.

97
00:04:14,228 --> 00:04:14,588
Speaker 8: What I mean.

98
00:04:14,588 --> 00:04:17,668
Speaker 1: And so I think losing someone like David Montgomery there,

99
00:04:18,228 --> 00:04:21,668
Speaker 1: it's going to be a transition for the Lions now

100
00:04:21,708 --> 00:04:24,188
Speaker 1: doesn't look bright. I think it looks a little brighter.

101
00:04:24,348 --> 00:04:27,708
Speaker 1: Why because you think about last year there were coordinator

102
00:04:27,748 --> 00:04:29,788
Speaker 1: issues on the offensive side of the balls, to the

103
00:04:29,788 --> 00:04:32,188
Speaker 1: point where Dan Campbell had to take over play calling duties.

104
00:04:32,188 --> 00:04:34,548
Speaker 1: And Dan Campbell doesn't do that, right, they have a

105
00:04:34,548 --> 00:04:37,988
Speaker 1: new offensive coordinator there. They have pretty much just the

106
00:04:38,108 --> 00:04:42,028
Speaker 1: same guys around the building over there in Detroit. I

107
00:04:42,068 --> 00:04:44,188
Speaker 1: also think that when you are last, when you do

108
00:04:44,268 --> 00:04:46,548
Speaker 1: come last in the division, your schedule going into the

109
00:04:46,588 --> 00:04:49,388
Speaker 1: next year, you are lined up against other guys and

110
00:04:49,468 --> 00:04:52,428
Speaker 1: other divisions that also came last. So this is their schedule, right.

111
00:04:52,588 --> 00:04:54,308
Speaker 1: We don't know when they played, but we know who

112
00:04:54,348 --> 00:04:56,708
Speaker 1: they play. So you look at their opponents. A lot

113
00:04:56,748 --> 00:04:59,788
Speaker 1: of them were also fourth in their perspective divisions.

114
00:05:00,068 --> 00:05:01,468
Speaker 8: So I think that does.

115
00:05:02,828 --> 00:05:05,388
Speaker 1: That does add to the brighter signed. I'm not going

116
00:05:05,428 --> 00:05:07,708
Speaker 1: to say looks bright, but it looks brighter because at

117
00:05:07,708 --> 00:05:10,228
Speaker 1: the end of the day, you still had Dan Campbell there, right,

118
00:05:10,268 --> 00:05:12,348
Speaker 1: you still have that guy that's going to be the

119
00:05:12,908 --> 00:05:15,388
Speaker 1: cultural the guy that's going to stand behind the mic,

120
00:05:15,428 --> 00:05:15,868
Speaker 1: and the guy that.

121
00:05:15,828 --> 00:05:16,668
Speaker 8: You can rally behind.

122
00:05:16,708 --> 00:05:19,468
Speaker 1: So going into twenty twenty six, I think it does

123
00:05:19,548 --> 00:05:21,188
Speaker 1: look a little brighter for the lines.

124
00:05:21,388 --> 00:05:24,628
Speaker 2: Well, a win column is always bright, but they honestly

125
00:05:24,668 --> 00:05:27,588
Speaker 2: could fall fate to the Patriots what they suffered last year,

126
00:05:27,628 --> 00:05:30,908
Speaker 2: which was everyone was arguing and bickering about their schedule

127
00:05:30,948 --> 00:05:33,308
Speaker 2: and how easy it was and how many wins that.

128
00:05:33,468 --> 00:05:34,908
Speaker 3: You're chuckling about it, but it's true.

129
00:05:34,988 --> 00:05:37,068
Speaker 2: What if the Lions play all these fourth placed teams

130
00:05:37,108 --> 00:05:40,228
Speaker 2: in their division and they have a great grand total

131
00:05:40,268 --> 00:05:42,948
Speaker 2: of fourteen wins, but they're not like season, they're not gritty,

132
00:05:42,948 --> 00:05:44,668
Speaker 2: they're not like meant for it in January.

133
00:05:44,668 --> 00:05:46,068
Speaker 3: Now, the Patriots made it super Bowl.

134
00:05:46,148 --> 00:05:48,308
Speaker 2: But that's you know, that's the argument people are making

135
00:05:48,388 --> 00:05:49,028
Speaker 2: for that schedule.

136
00:05:49,028 --> 00:05:49,508
Speaker 9: What you got.

137
00:05:49,628 --> 00:05:51,668
Speaker 6: And I think it's also important to note, like cause

138
00:05:51,668 --> 00:05:54,188
Speaker 6: we talk about Demo leaving and how that impacts the offense,

139
00:05:54,428 --> 00:05:56,988
Speaker 6: Well you got Taylor Decker who's also leaving their left tackle.

140
00:05:56,988 --> 00:05:58,588
Speaker 6: Who's been the left tackle for the pass I don't

141
00:05:58,588 --> 00:06:01,428
Speaker 6: know eight nine, ten years now, Pinay Seoul moving from

142
00:06:01,508 --> 00:06:03,628
Speaker 6: right possibly to the left side, there's going to be

143
00:06:03,628 --> 00:06:06,908
Speaker 6: an adjustment pier there. You got Juice Scruggs into the

144
00:06:06,948 --> 00:06:09,948
Speaker 6: fold with that David Montgomery trade, so you got one

145
00:06:10,188 --> 00:06:12,508
Speaker 6: two guys, and then he signed Kid Mads at center.

146
00:06:12,748 --> 00:06:14,708
Speaker 7: That's possibly a whole side.

147
00:06:14,428 --> 00:06:16,908
Speaker 6: Of an offensive line that's completely new. These guys got

148
00:06:16,948 --> 00:06:19,308
Speaker 6: to get reps together. These guys got to get better.

149
00:06:19,388 --> 00:06:22,268
Speaker 6: You got Jared Goff, who I love as a quarterback,

150
00:06:22,308 --> 00:06:24,428
Speaker 6: but at the end of the day, from a mobility standpoint,

151
00:06:24,548 --> 00:06:27,148
Speaker 6: is a statue quarterback. He's not a guy who can

152
00:06:27,188 --> 00:06:30,108
Speaker 6: get himself out of trouble and extend plays like a

153
00:06:30,108 --> 00:06:31,788
Speaker 6: lot of other quarterbacks.

154
00:06:31,268 --> 00:06:31,988
Speaker 7: In this league.

155
00:06:32,148 --> 00:06:34,948
Speaker 6: If this offensive line experiment does not go well or

156
00:06:34,988 --> 00:06:36,308
Speaker 6: pay struggles.

157
00:06:35,868 --> 00:06:37,588
Speaker 7: For the first few games adjusted on.

158
00:06:37,508 --> 00:06:40,428
Speaker 6: The left side, now you're looking at other problems that

159
00:06:40,428 --> 00:06:42,668
Speaker 6: we've really never seen the Lions have when it comes

160
00:06:42,668 --> 00:06:45,308
Speaker 6: to offensive line, and that's where I worry a lot

161
00:06:45,388 --> 00:06:47,268
Speaker 6: offensively for this team.

162
00:06:47,708 --> 00:06:50,188
Speaker 10: I think that coach Dan Campbell's one heck of a coach.

163
00:06:50,588 --> 00:06:52,908
Speaker 10: I think he's one heck of a human being. But

164
00:06:53,228 --> 00:06:55,188
Speaker 10: I think he's also in a position where he's trying

165
00:06:55,188 --> 00:06:57,228
Speaker 10: to convince himself and I think we've all been there

166
00:06:57,308 --> 00:06:59,348
Speaker 10: right for us to have kids, you know, kids Like

167
00:06:59,348 --> 00:07:02,068
Speaker 10: there's no food in here, Like there's some freaking brand,

168
00:07:03,308 --> 00:07:05,148
Speaker 10: there's a freaking water in there.

169
00:07:06,148 --> 00:07:07,508
Speaker 7: He's trying to convince.

170
00:07:07,188 --> 00:07:09,548
Speaker 10: Himself that they're gonna be okay, and it's like, what

171
00:07:09,628 --> 00:07:11,668
Speaker 10: else do you expect them to say? Right, you're gonna

172
00:07:11,668 --> 00:07:13,628
Speaker 10: come out there in bad mouth this team. No, he

173
00:07:13,708 --> 00:07:15,788
Speaker 10: has confidence of his guys, but he also know that

174
00:07:15,828 --> 00:07:18,788
Speaker 10: he's being gutted. That's what happens when you have success

175
00:07:18,828 --> 00:07:21,628
Speaker 10: as a head coach. Your coordinators got gutted. He lost

176
00:07:21,628 --> 00:07:24,028
Speaker 10: Aaron Glenn, he lost Ben Johnson. Now your players are

177
00:07:24,108 --> 00:07:27,228
Speaker 10: getting hurt, right, Listen, things have happened, Guys have retired.

178
00:07:27,588 --> 00:07:29,148
Speaker 7: He isn't a call it what you want.

179
00:07:29,188 --> 00:07:31,388
Speaker 10: They have their core members, but they're really trying to

180
00:07:31,428 --> 00:07:32,988
Speaker 10: rebuild who they once were.

181
00:07:33,308 --> 00:07:36,708
Speaker 7: So yeah, they're not what they were. They have work

182
00:07:36,788 --> 00:07:37,188
Speaker 7: to do.

183
00:07:37,468 --> 00:07:39,468
Speaker 10: I think that he'll be in the conversation. But the

184
00:07:39,468 --> 00:07:42,668
Speaker 10: division has gotten super challenging. It's going to take them

185
00:07:42,668 --> 00:07:44,108
Speaker 10: a couple of years to get back to where.

186
00:07:43,908 --> 00:07:44,668
Speaker 7: We expect them to be.

187
00:07:44,828 --> 00:07:49,148
Speaker 1: Boy, you mentioned it, Isaiah about the coordinators leaving right

188
00:07:49,188 --> 00:07:52,388
Speaker 1: two years ago with Ben Johnson and Aaron Glenn, what

189
00:07:52,468 --> 00:07:54,908
Speaker 1: people also don't talk about is there are coaches that

190
00:07:54,948 --> 00:07:56,988
Speaker 1: were under them that also left with them, Right, so

191
00:07:57,228 --> 00:07:59,228
Speaker 1: they talk about Ben Johnson went to the Bears and

192
00:07:59,268 --> 00:08:01,068
Speaker 1: then Aaron Glenn went to the Jets. Wall position coach,

193
00:08:01,468 --> 00:08:04,668
Speaker 1: position coaches under those guys that also left. So it

194
00:08:04,708 --> 00:08:05,668
Speaker 1: isn't just the coordinators.

195
00:08:05,668 --> 00:08:07,588
Speaker 8: There's a quarterback coaches, a tight end coaches, a passing

196
00:08:07,668 --> 00:08:09,348
Speaker 8: in courter, all that stuff left.

197
00:08:09,508 --> 00:08:12,228
Speaker 1: And now Dan Campbell, you're sitting in a situation where,

198
00:08:12,268 --> 00:08:14,228
Speaker 1: like man, not only am I having to bring a

199
00:08:14,268 --> 00:08:16,068
Speaker 1: different coordinator in, but I also have to bring in

200
00:08:16,108 --> 00:08:17,028
Speaker 1: a different quarterbacks coach.

201
00:08:17,068 --> 00:08:18,548
Speaker 8: I have to bring a different O line coach.

202
00:08:18,788 --> 00:08:20,508
Speaker 1: And Jamie you and I there were there for the

203
00:08:20,588 --> 00:08:24,228
Speaker 1: Christmas game, that O line against that front that the

204
00:08:24,268 --> 00:08:27,268
Speaker 1: Brian Flores had Brian Flores and that defense is already

205
00:08:27,308 --> 00:08:28,428
Speaker 1: a handful to deal with.

206
00:08:28,788 --> 00:08:29,868
Speaker 8: Now, if you're Dan.

207
00:08:29,788 --> 00:08:33,148
Speaker 1: Campbell and you're trying to put things together and you're

208
00:08:33,188 --> 00:08:35,748
Speaker 1: going to get guys they're running through that offensive line

209
00:08:35,828 --> 00:08:39,108
Speaker 1: and sending stunts and all of that. So again, he

210
00:08:39,188 --> 00:08:41,348
Speaker 1: does have a full year of trying to learn and

211
00:08:41,388 --> 00:08:44,388
Speaker 1: trying to adjust there, right, he sees taking his scars there.

212
00:08:45,148 --> 00:08:47,308
Speaker 1: Let's not forget that this still is a Lions team

213
00:08:47,348 --> 00:08:49,228
Speaker 1: that knows how to fight, right. This is still a

214
00:08:49,268 --> 00:08:52,028
Speaker 1: Lions team that a few years ago was he was

215
00:08:52,028 --> 00:08:54,188
Speaker 1: there were the talk of the town. So just because

216
00:08:54,228 --> 00:08:56,348
Speaker 1: the Lion got beat up a little bit doesn't mean

217
00:08:56,348 --> 00:08:58,148
Speaker 1: that he's still not a line and the king of

218
00:08:58,188 --> 00:09:00,588
Speaker 1: the jungle. So to that point, I think it's still

219
00:09:00,668 --> 00:09:01,588
Speaker 1: a little brighter.

220
00:09:01,348 --> 00:09:02,188
Speaker 8: Than it was last year.

221
00:09:02,308 --> 00:09:03,668
Speaker 3: You know, I'm not sure I did it justice.

222
00:09:03,708 --> 00:09:05,708
Speaker 2: We did get act says to the Dan Campbell sound,

223
00:09:05,708 --> 00:09:07,148
Speaker 2: and so let's take a listen to make sure we

224
00:09:07,188 --> 00:09:10,868
Speaker 2: really understand. If I had the point of emphasis, go ahead,

225
00:09:10,948 --> 00:09:11,388
Speaker 2: roll it.

226
00:09:12,308 --> 00:09:14,468
Speaker 11: There's different ways to get to where you want to go,

227
00:09:14,708 --> 00:09:17,908
Speaker 11: and we've always believed he and I both that's where

228
00:09:17,948 --> 00:09:20,468
Speaker 11: it starts. We've got the hard part down. You know,

229
00:09:20,508 --> 00:09:23,108
Speaker 11: I mentioned this earlier with Tim. We got the hard

230
00:09:23,148 --> 00:09:25,748
Speaker 11: part man. We got the quarterback, we got two receivers,

231
00:09:25,788 --> 00:09:28,348
Speaker 11: we got a tight end, we got the back, we

232
00:09:28,428 --> 00:09:31,788
Speaker 11: got a freaking tackle, we got freaking hutch, we got jack,

233
00:09:31,828 --> 00:09:34,908
Speaker 11: we got branch, we got so we got these pieces

234
00:09:34,908 --> 00:09:36,988
Speaker 11: in certain areas, and then we just got to feeling

235
00:09:37,068 --> 00:09:39,588
Speaker 11: around it and help compliment those guys.

236
00:09:40,508 --> 00:09:41,948
Speaker 7: We're not far off, all right.

237
00:09:42,028 --> 00:09:43,948
Speaker 11: Nobody said it's going to be easy, But man, I

238
00:09:44,628 --> 00:09:49,188
Speaker 11: the future looks bright. If you're asking me, see.

239
00:09:49,068 --> 00:09:52,268
Speaker 2: I cannot think of you saying we got freaking fruit snacks.

240
00:09:53,148 --> 00:09:57,588
Speaker 7: Okay, we got peanu buttery.

241
00:09:57,588 --> 00:10:00,028
Speaker 10: We ain't got no jelly, but put some honey or

242
00:10:00,068 --> 00:10:01,308
Speaker 10: something on it.

243
00:10:01,428 --> 00:10:02,628
Speaker 7: Okay, it's gonna work.

244
00:10:03,308 --> 00:10:05,988
Speaker 6: And that's that's why I love coach, because the level

245
00:10:05,988 --> 00:10:07,468
Speaker 6: of conviction this guy hasn't.

246
00:10:07,588 --> 00:10:10,748
Speaker 7: He speaks man like believe. This guy moves locker rooms.

247
00:10:10,788 --> 00:10:10,948
Speaker 12: Man.

248
00:10:10,988 --> 00:10:13,748
Speaker 6: This guy makes players believe in themselves more than more

249
00:10:13,788 --> 00:10:15,388
Speaker 6: than they believe in themselves, man.

250
00:10:15,428 --> 00:10:17,068
Speaker 7: And that's power as a coach.

251
00:10:17,268 --> 00:10:19,908
Speaker 6: And that's why I'll never stop believing in Dan Campbell

252
00:10:20,068 --> 00:10:23,068
Speaker 6: and the culture and the accountability, all those kinds of things,

253
00:10:23,148 --> 00:10:25,788
Speaker 6: maning those boxes are checked, and he's right, they've got pieces,

254
00:10:25,828 --> 00:10:27,708
Speaker 6: but they just got a little bit more work to do.

255
00:10:27,828 --> 00:10:30,748
Speaker 2: It's such a widely applicable word, you know, to be

256
00:10:30,788 --> 00:10:32,548
Speaker 2: able to say over and over again. Now Dan Campbell

257
00:10:32,628 --> 00:10:34,548
Speaker 2: is saying we got freaking guys in the locker room

258
00:10:34,588 --> 00:10:36,948
Speaker 2: in a positive way. Mancy, you brought the other name

259
00:10:37,028 --> 00:10:39,308
Speaker 2: up that he could say, I got freaking Brian Flores

260
00:10:39,308 --> 00:10:42,228
Speaker 2: in my division, which is it's terrifying because that's a

261
00:10:42,308 --> 00:10:45,308
Speaker 2: crazy Vikings defense they have in Minnesota. So is anybody

262
00:10:45,348 --> 00:10:47,668
Speaker 2: here convinced at the table that the Lions. We always

263
00:10:47,708 --> 00:10:49,748
Speaker 2: got one team that does this in the NFL. They

264
00:10:49,788 --> 00:10:52,068
Speaker 2: go from worse to first in their division. Manti, Are

265
00:10:52,068 --> 00:10:53,948
Speaker 2: you convinced that the Lions could be that team in

266
00:10:53,988 --> 00:10:56,508
Speaker 2: the North that could go from four to one.

267
00:10:56,508 --> 00:10:59,068
Speaker 1: Sitting right here on April first, No, I think when

268
00:10:59,108 --> 00:11:01,868
Speaker 1: you look at the NFC North, you know you mentioned Minnesota,

269
00:11:02,068 --> 00:11:04,628
Speaker 1: they just got Caylin Murray, right, and he is that

270
00:11:04,668 --> 00:11:07,348
Speaker 1: missing piece for them offensively to get the ball to

271
00:11:07,388 --> 00:11:09,348
Speaker 1: all of those weapons that they have over there, but

272
00:11:09,428 --> 00:11:12,388
Speaker 1: also that defense, Brian Floor's defense. You think about the Packers,

273
00:11:12,428 --> 00:11:14,948
Speaker 1: the Packers are always good in the NFC North, and

274
00:11:14,988 --> 00:11:17,548
Speaker 1: where the Bears are and Ben Jonson and Caleb Williams,

275
00:11:17,588 --> 00:11:20,188
Speaker 1: I think where they are starting right now. For the

276
00:11:20,228 --> 00:11:23,668
Speaker 1: Detroit Lions, the other three teams are starting at a

277
00:11:23,748 --> 00:11:25,948
Speaker 1: higher point right They're a little bit further in this

278
00:11:26,108 --> 00:11:28,508
Speaker 1: race right now, and so it's for them.

279
00:11:28,388 --> 00:11:31,548
Speaker 8: To go from worse to first because of the division

280
00:11:31,548 --> 00:11:31,828
Speaker 8: they're in.

281
00:11:31,868 --> 00:11:35,148
Speaker 1: Cabinda, I'd say it's going to be truly, truly a challenge,

282
00:11:35,148 --> 00:11:36,508
Speaker 1: and I don't know if that's going to happen.

283
00:11:36,668 --> 00:11:38,668
Speaker 6: Yeah, And I wouldn't say that about the Vikings, but

284
00:11:38,828 --> 00:11:40,708
Speaker 6: I agree the Bears and Packers are. They're at a

285
00:11:40,748 --> 00:11:43,548
Speaker 6: higher point right now as we're speaking right now April first,

286
00:11:44,068 --> 00:11:46,348
Speaker 6: than the than the Lions. And I think the Bears

287
00:11:46,388 --> 00:11:49,668
Speaker 6: are a scary team. I talked about them all last

288
00:11:49,788 --> 00:11:52,548
Speaker 6: I did I talk about No, no, no, no.

289
00:11:52,108 --> 00:11:53,108
Speaker 3: How can you just say that.

290
00:11:53,428 --> 00:11:57,828
Speaker 2: I can't say this about they beat him on Christmas Day?

291
00:11:57,948 --> 00:12:00,748
Speaker 4: They have the same record hot, they're hot.

292
00:12:00,828 --> 00:12:01,428
Speaker 7: No, that's her hot.

293
00:12:01,468 --> 00:12:06,188
Speaker 1: But I can't change It's about the bike.

294
00:12:06,868 --> 00:12:07,428
Speaker 3: Do we see it?

295
00:12:07,468 --> 00:12:07,668
Speaker 9: There?

296
00:12:07,708 --> 00:12:09,948
Speaker 3: The Lions they were last in the division, and then the.

297
00:12:09,988 --> 00:12:12,308
Speaker 2: Viking they mean him and then a lot of times

298
00:12:12,308 --> 00:12:13,868
Speaker 2: people say, at the end of the season, you see

299
00:12:13,868 --> 00:12:15,788
Speaker 2: how the trends are going, and that's what carries into

300
00:12:15,788 --> 00:12:16,388
Speaker 2: the next year.

301
00:12:16,748 --> 00:12:19,468
Speaker 6: I'm just saying, because this Kyler things an experiment. It's

302
00:12:19,468 --> 00:12:20,988
Speaker 6: an experiment. We don't know yet. We don't know how

303
00:12:20,988 --> 00:12:22,748
Speaker 6: it's gonna go. You don't know how it's gonna go.

304
00:12:22,868 --> 00:12:24,828
Speaker 6: It's gonna look pretty, it's gonna look flashy.

305
00:12:24,508 --> 00:12:27,268
Speaker 7: At times, it's gonna have some cool wins. Is it

306
00:12:27,308 --> 00:12:28,188
Speaker 7: gonna be sustainable?

307
00:12:28,308 --> 00:12:32,308
Speaker 6: Is it gonna be winning football for sixteen seventeen eighteen games?

308
00:12:32,388 --> 00:12:34,548
Speaker 6: That I don't know. That question has not been answered.

309
00:12:34,908 --> 00:12:36,748
Speaker 6: Come on, isaiahn't look at me like that now, all right,

310
00:12:36,828 --> 00:12:37,588
Speaker 6: don't look at me like that.

00:12:37,668 --> 00:12:39,428
Speaker 3: Out Let me hear you making a face about Kyler?

Speaker 12: All right?

313
00:12:40,388 --> 00:12:44,708
Speaker 7: So can they go from worse to first? Absolutely not.

314
00:12:44,948 --> 00:12:47,428
Speaker 7: It's April first, right, it's April first. Okay, so listen

315
00:12:47,468 --> 00:12:47,788
Speaker 7: to Apris.

316
00:12:47,868 --> 00:12:49,948
Speaker 10: Somebody had to do some fool on the round here, Yeah,

317
00:12:50,588 --> 00:12:54,148
Speaker 10: got them. No, they can't do that. I don't believe it.

318
00:12:54,388 --> 00:12:56,428
Speaker 10: I never tell somebody what they can and can't do.

319
00:12:56,508 --> 00:12:57,908
Speaker 10: I just think that it's a one heck of a

320
00:12:57,948 --> 00:13:00,308
Speaker 10: long shot. You talk about the other teams in their division.

321
00:13:00,588 --> 00:13:04,028
Speaker 10: Everybody else in this division got better, The rosters got better.

322
00:13:04,428 --> 00:13:07,668
Speaker 10: The Detroit Lions got worse. Right, they lost guys. They

323
00:13:07,668 --> 00:13:09,788
Speaker 10: have guys that they're hoping come back. They lost guys

324
00:13:09,788 --> 00:13:13,268
Speaker 10: to retirement. This team did not get better on the roster.

325
00:13:13,628 --> 00:13:15,708
Speaker 10: So can they get better as an organization?

326
00:13:15,868 --> 00:13:16,908
Speaker 7: I don't know. That's to be seen.

327
00:13:16,988 --> 00:13:17,108
Speaker 13: Right.

328
00:13:17,108 --> 00:13:18,548
Speaker 10: We know they have one heck of a head coach.

329
00:13:18,628 --> 00:13:20,948
Speaker 10: Do the position coaches have impact, do they develop guys.

330
00:13:21,068 --> 00:13:23,788
Speaker 10: But we know that other rosters in their division got better.

331
00:13:23,948 --> 00:13:26,588
Speaker 10: The quarterback got better. For Minnesota, this is not going

332
00:13:26,628 --> 00:13:27,868
Speaker 10: to be an easy role. So I'm not going to

333
00:13:27,908 --> 00:13:29,628
Speaker 10: say that they can't. I'm just gonna say it's a

334
00:13:29,668 --> 00:13:30,268
Speaker 10: long shot.

335
00:13:30,788 --> 00:13:34,148
Speaker 1: Well, I would say to the Vikings point about that

336
00:13:34,228 --> 00:13:36,948
Speaker 1: Christmas game, I've never seen a game like that before, Like.

337
00:13:37,428 --> 00:13:39,028
Speaker 8: It was a field position battle.

338
00:13:39,828 --> 00:13:44,068
Speaker 1: I've never seen a game where the Vikings defense were

339
00:13:44,108 --> 00:13:48,148
Speaker 1: just getting stops in field goal range because the Vikings

340
00:13:48,228 --> 00:13:50,828
Speaker 1: offense couldn't move as well. Right, I mean, the best

341
00:13:50,828 --> 00:13:52,908
Speaker 1: play they had was a scoring player to Jordan Addison

342
00:13:53,068 --> 00:13:53,788
Speaker 1: is a jet sweep.

343
00:13:54,188 --> 00:13:56,348
Speaker 8: Kevin O'Connor was like, we can't throw the ball, so

344
00:13:56,388 --> 00:13:56,908
Speaker 8: this jet.

345
00:13:56,828 --> 00:13:59,188
Speaker 1: Sweep the thing and then Addison run down the right

346
00:13:59,228 --> 00:14:01,028
Speaker 1: side of the field touchdown. That was the first big

347
00:14:01,068 --> 00:14:03,268
Speaker 1: play offensively. And I think what James the fourth quarter?

348
00:14:03,428 --> 00:14:05,508
Speaker 2: It was a fourth quarter into the third quarter, Max

349
00:14:05,588 --> 00:14:06,948
Speaker 2: Rosberg had like negative.

350
00:14:06,668 --> 00:14:10,148
Speaker 1: Yard negative yards, and so you talk about is Colin

351
00:14:10,308 --> 00:14:14,788
Speaker 1: Riray like the piece again, you think about what Kevin

352
00:14:14,828 --> 00:14:18,428
Speaker 1: O'Connell was dealing with in that game against the Detroit Lions. Yes,

353
00:14:18,428 --> 00:14:20,628
Speaker 1: they still had their injuries as well, But when you

354
00:14:20,668 --> 00:14:22,388
Speaker 1: have the injury to the quarterback or you don't have

355
00:14:22,428 --> 00:14:25,228
Speaker 1: a quarterback, you have no chance. Yet Kevin O'Connell and

356
00:14:25,428 --> 00:14:28,788
Speaker 1: Justin Jefferson figured how to win that game right, and

357
00:14:28,828 --> 00:14:30,668
Speaker 1: it was off of the back of a defense like

358
00:14:30,708 --> 00:14:33,948
Speaker 1: Brian Flores that were getting sex interceptions and all of

359
00:14:33,948 --> 00:14:35,588
Speaker 1: those things. So I don't want to change it to

360
00:14:35,668 --> 00:14:38,748
Speaker 1: Minnesota Bikings conversation, but when we think about.

361
00:14:38,468 --> 00:14:39,548
Speaker 8: The starting point.

362
00:14:39,348 --> 00:14:42,228
Speaker 1: Of this this division with all four of them, I

363
00:14:42,308 --> 00:14:44,148
Speaker 1: have to put the Minnesota Vikings.

364
00:14:44,148 --> 00:14:47,588
Speaker 8: If not they're not, I wouldn't say one, but they're.

365
00:14:47,388 --> 00:14:50,388
Speaker 1: Definitely ahead of the Detroit Lions where they're starting out

366
00:14:50,388 --> 00:14:50,668
Speaker 1: in April.

367
00:14:50,708 --> 00:14:51,748
Speaker 8: Press caball cup.

368
00:14:51,588 --> 00:14:56,228
Speaker 6: Into ain't buying it. I ain't buying it good. I'm

369
00:14:56,228 --> 00:14:58,308
Speaker 6: not buying that for a second. Look, do you really

370
00:14:58,308 --> 00:15:01,708
Speaker 6: think Kevin O'Connell like this is I think you guys

371
00:15:01,748 --> 00:15:03,588
Speaker 6: aren't realizing how big of a gamble this is.

372
00:15:03,828 --> 00:15:05,348
Speaker 7: Like, do you really think Kevin.

373
00:15:05,148 --> 00:15:07,988
Speaker 6: O'Connell is going to get absolutely everything out of Kyler

374
00:15:08,068 --> 00:15:10,988
Speaker 6: Murray and his skill set? They got that out of

375
00:15:11,028 --> 00:15:13,468
Speaker 6: a Kirk Cousin and the Sam Donald. There's a lot

376
00:15:13,508 --> 00:15:15,268
Speaker 6: different quarterback than a Kylin Murray.

377
00:15:15,668 --> 00:15:16,988
Speaker 7: These are two different brands.

378
00:15:17,348 --> 00:15:19,148
Speaker 6: Okay, okay, but but do you not agree these are

379
00:15:19,148 --> 00:15:21,468
Speaker 6: two different brands. Do you think he's gonna get everything

380
00:15:21,508 --> 00:15:23,308
Speaker 6: out of Kyler Murray and truly get all of his

381
00:15:23,588 --> 00:15:26,308
Speaker 6: skill set out of him instead of put him in

382
00:15:26,388 --> 00:15:29,908
Speaker 6: a box and try to make him into what they did?

383
00:15:30,108 --> 00:15:32,588
Speaker 7: That understand it is Kevin O'Connell has been doing.

384
00:15:32,388 --> 00:15:37,028
Speaker 10: This with quarterbacks that are physically limited, physically limited, not mentally.

385
00:15:37,228 --> 00:15:38,228
Speaker 7: Who got the smart players?

386
00:15:38,268 --> 00:15:38,388
Speaker 9: Right?

387
00:15:38,748 --> 00:15:40,588
Speaker 10: We know Kyler Murray is a smart player as well.

388
00:15:40,708 --> 00:15:43,868
Speaker 10: The question an'd surrounding Klin Murrays always been his leadership, right,

389
00:15:43,988 --> 00:15:46,188
Speaker 10: So now we understand, at least on the back end things.

390
00:15:46,188 --> 00:15:48,668
Speaker 10: I'm hearing that he's a completely different human being, completely

391
00:15:48,668 --> 00:15:50,828
Speaker 10: different leader. He's changed things about his life. So if

392
00:15:50,828 --> 00:15:53,388
Speaker 10: he's coming into that organization and that coach and that

393
00:15:53,508 --> 00:15:56,428
Speaker 10: offense and that much talent around him with a different

394
00:15:56,468 --> 00:15:59,348
Speaker 10: mindset and a position of leadership, with the skill sets

395
00:15:59,348 --> 00:16:02,148
Speaker 10: that he has, there's this is going to be danger.

396
00:16:02,388 --> 00:16:02,868
Speaker 7: Danger.

397
00:16:02,948 --> 00:16:04,388
Speaker 10: That's what all the other teams need to be saying,

398
00:16:04,508 --> 00:16:07,508
Speaker 10: because you can't stop a Jordan Addison and you can't

399
00:16:07,548 --> 00:16:11,788
Speaker 10: stop a Jefferson and Aaron Jones and Hankinson.

400
00:16:12,148 --> 00:16:13,348
Speaker 7: There's just so many guys.

401
00:16:13,468 --> 00:16:15,428
Speaker 10: They're not gonna be sitting back in the pocket just

402
00:16:15,508 --> 00:16:16,348
Speaker 10: dropping the ball off.

403
00:16:16,428 --> 00:16:17,508
Speaker 7: He's gonna be on the move.

404
00:16:17,628 --> 00:16:19,708
Speaker 10: If they can establish a running game, this team is

405
00:16:19,708 --> 00:16:22,868
Speaker 10: gonna be dangerous because you cannot stop Kyler Murray one

406
00:16:22,908 --> 00:16:23,988
Speaker 10: on one in open field.

407
00:16:23,988 --> 00:16:27,748
Speaker 1: And you know that well, also interject here about the

408
00:16:28,148 --> 00:16:31,428
Speaker 1: maturity and the leadership progress of Kyler Murray. I'll even

409
00:16:31,428 --> 00:16:34,268
Speaker 1: go on to say this, if he didn't make those strides,

410
00:16:34,708 --> 00:16:37,668
Speaker 1: he still would be great with the Minnesota Vikings. Why

411
00:16:38,028 --> 00:16:40,468
Speaker 1: because who he was required to be for the Arizona

412
00:16:40,508 --> 00:16:44,588
Speaker 1: Cardinals as a leader, He's not gonna be that's not

413
00:16:44,708 --> 00:16:47,708
Speaker 1: needed in a place like Minnesota. Like Kevin O'Connell has

414
00:16:47,708 --> 00:16:49,788
Speaker 1: that house built already. I think when you look at

415
00:16:49,828 --> 00:16:52,108
Speaker 1: his time in Arizona, it was like, we need.

416
00:16:51,988 --> 00:16:52,628
Speaker 7: You to be this.

417
00:16:52,708 --> 00:16:54,988
Speaker 1: We need you to create direction, we need you to

418
00:16:55,028 --> 00:16:57,348
Speaker 1: create juice, we need to create life. When you look

419
00:16:57,348 --> 00:16:59,348
Speaker 1: at Minnesota, it's like we don't need you to We

420
00:16:59,388 --> 00:17:00,708
Speaker 1: just need you to pass the ball.

421
00:17:00,548 --> 00:17:01,468
Speaker 8: To Justin Jefferson.

422
00:17:01,508 --> 00:17:04,228
Speaker 1: Like Jedi's will get this thing going right, Jetta's will

423
00:17:04,268 --> 00:17:06,748
Speaker 1: be the electric spark on this thing, and if Jedis

424
00:17:06,748 --> 00:17:08,508
Speaker 1: can't do it, the defense is going to do it.

425
00:17:08,508 --> 00:17:12,148
Speaker 1: So when I look at Minnesota as a whole, even

426
00:17:12,268 --> 00:17:14,468
Speaker 1: if today's point, and I hope that it's true, and

427
00:17:14,508 --> 00:17:16,308
Speaker 1: I've heard the same thing that Kyler Murray is just

428
00:17:16,308 --> 00:17:17,868
Speaker 1: in a different mental space right now.

429
00:17:18,068 --> 00:17:19,708
Speaker 8: But I'll go as far as saying if he.

430
00:17:20,028 --> 00:17:22,828
Speaker 1: Wasn't, if he still was doing the things that people

431
00:17:22,828 --> 00:17:24,748
Speaker 1: are accusing of of doing and not paying attention, not

432
00:17:24,788 --> 00:17:29,388
Speaker 1: committing himself, he still would be more a bigger weapon

433
00:17:29,468 --> 00:17:31,588
Speaker 1: there with Kevin o'connoe as as head coach and all

434
00:17:31,628 --> 00:17:33,628
Speaker 1: of those weapons surrounding him than he was going to

435
00:17:33,668 --> 00:17:36,148
Speaker 1: be in Arizona. And so again that that addition there, guys,

436
00:17:36,188 --> 00:17:40,348
Speaker 1: it's Minnesota now, is in that in that heat, in

437
00:17:40,428 --> 00:17:42,788
Speaker 1: that fast heat, back where they were before.

438
00:17:43,068 --> 00:17:44,188
Speaker 8: I mean, Sam Darnold left.

439
00:17:44,228 --> 00:17:45,788
Speaker 2: I hate to say, I love when we just casually

440
00:17:45,828 --> 00:17:47,388
Speaker 2: stumble into a Viking conversation.

441
00:17:47,468 --> 00:17:48,628
Speaker 3: I mean, I apparely did.

442
00:17:48,748 --> 00:17:54,868
Speaker 2: I didn't even do anything, said some of the bikers.

443
00:17:54,868 --> 00:18:01,788
Speaker 2: She said, all right, well, we know the quarterback maybe

444
00:18:01,908 --> 00:18:04,108
Speaker 2: is going to be in Minnesota because JJ's still hanging around,

445
00:18:04,148 --> 00:18:06,148
Speaker 2: but we don't know who the Raiders will draft. And

446
00:18:06,268 --> 00:18:08,228
Speaker 2: with that, there's a special addition to pass of the

447
00:18:08,308 --> 00:18:11,308
Speaker 2: draft as they our guys will be live from Indiana

448
00:18:11,348 --> 00:18:14,468
Speaker 2: for Fernando Mendozes Pro Day. I'm not saying that's the guy,

449
00:18:14,908 --> 00:18:18,268
Speaker 2: but heavily considered the guy. Daniel Jeremiah, Bucky Brooks breakdown

450
00:18:18,308 --> 00:18:20,428
Speaker 2: every throw from the Heisman winning quarterback.

451
00:18:20,628 --> 00:18:21,988
Speaker 3: That happens today.

452
00:18:21,748 --> 00:18:24,708
Speaker 14: On NFL Network at one pm Eastern.

453
00:18:25,948 --> 00:18:28,908
Speaker 2: Until then, we got a guy. We got the guy

454
00:18:29,028 --> 00:18:31,748
Speaker 2: who is a net drusher for Alabama this season. LT

455
00:18:32,068 --> 00:18:34,828
Speaker 2: Overton coming on the show. It's an NFL Draft prospect.

456
00:18:35,028 --> 00:18:37,188
Speaker 2: We love getting to know these players ahead of hearing

457
00:18:37,188 --> 00:18:37,668
Speaker 2: their names.

458
00:18:37,668 --> 00:18:38,428
Speaker 3: Paulin in April.

459
00:18:38,628 --> 00:18:40,708
Speaker 2: We also think that Alabama guys really bring the juice

460
00:18:40,708 --> 00:18:41,468
Speaker 2: on the draft stage.

461
00:18:41,468 --> 00:18:42,708
Speaker 3: So how's this going to go for LT?

462
00:18:43,028 --> 00:18:53,188
Speaker 14: Get to know him in a couple of minutes.

463
00:18:55,348 --> 00:18:57,068
Speaker 4: Good Morning Football.

464
00:18:57,188 --> 00:18:59,988
Speaker 2: We're on the doorstep of another summer here on GMFB,

465
00:19:00,108 --> 00:19:02,228
Speaker 2: and once again we have another Cowboys player who we

466
00:19:02,268 --> 00:19:05,228
Speaker 2: will probably drag into August seventy and try to find

467
00:19:05,268 --> 00:19:06,908
Speaker 2: out whether or not he's going to get a contract.

468
00:19:06,908 --> 00:19:08,628
Speaker 3: This time it's George Pickens.

469
00:19:08,668 --> 00:19:12,028
Speaker 2: Pickens set career highs and receptions, receiving yards, and receiving

470
00:19:12,068 --> 00:19:14,788
Speaker 2: tds in his first season with the Cowboys last year,

471
00:19:14,828 --> 00:19:17,628
Speaker 2: so of course Dallas applied the franchise tag to him.

472
00:19:17,628 --> 00:19:20,188
Speaker 2: Team owner Jerry Jones met with the media yesterday and

473
00:19:20,228 --> 00:19:21,988
Speaker 2: talked about the Pickens contract situation.

474
00:19:22,068 --> 00:19:24,388
Speaker 4: Here it is, I don't know.

475
00:19:25,508 --> 00:19:30,348
Speaker 13: The French aise tag has an automatic time frame owning

476
00:19:31,228 --> 00:19:36,828
Speaker 13: and all of us will and my plan and our

477
00:19:36,868 --> 00:19:40,348
Speaker 13: thought that we'll all be working within the timeframe of

478
00:19:41,108 --> 00:19:48,148
Speaker 13: the conditions of the franchise tag, so it should play

479
00:19:48,188 --> 00:19:50,508
Speaker 13: itself out. It's the best way for me to say it.

480
00:19:50,908 --> 00:19:53,548
Speaker 13: Make no mistake about it. We have long term plans

481
00:19:53,548 --> 00:19:54,708
Speaker 13: in mind for Pickens.

482
00:19:55,788 --> 00:19:58,428
Speaker 2: This man is literally in charge of how this thing goes,

483
00:19:58,468 --> 00:19:59,788
Speaker 2: and he goes, oh, I'm going to see how this

484
00:19:59,788 --> 00:20:02,548
Speaker 2: George Pickens thing plays. Is say you're in the building

485
00:20:02,668 --> 00:20:06,588
Speaker 2: every day chuckling about this as Jerry Jones goes on,

486
00:20:06,828 --> 00:20:07,308
Speaker 2: because I.

487
00:20:07,308 --> 00:20:10,468
Speaker 10: Know that everybody gets so irritated by mister Jones. I

488
00:20:10,508 --> 00:20:13,948
Speaker 10: call him double Jay. People get irritated by it because

489
00:20:13,948 --> 00:20:17,348
Speaker 10: of how he does business. But he's a great businessman

490
00:20:17,428 --> 00:20:19,508
Speaker 10: and it doesn't necessarily always go in the favorite of

491
00:20:19,548 --> 00:20:22,988
Speaker 10: players unless you're a prime time player. He takes care

492
00:20:23,108 --> 00:20:25,788
Speaker 10: of his prime time players, and you can't sit up here.

493
00:20:25,668 --> 00:20:26,628
Speaker 7: And say that he doesn't.

494
00:20:26,828 --> 00:20:29,068
Speaker 10: Everybody yet, he might draw you out to the dog

495
00:20:29,148 --> 00:20:31,388
Speaker 10: on last hour, right, just like he did with Dak

496
00:20:31,428 --> 00:20:34,468
Speaker 10: Prescott and what happened. Highest paid quarterback in the league.

497
00:20:34,548 --> 00:20:36,948
Speaker 10: He might drag CD Lamb out, But what did he

498
00:20:36,988 --> 00:20:38,828
Speaker 10: make of He made him like top three paid right

499
00:20:38,868 --> 00:20:41,268
Speaker 10: at the time, right, So he always takes care of

500
00:20:41,308 --> 00:20:43,068
Speaker 10: his guys. He was going to do the same thing

501
00:20:43,068 --> 00:20:45,188
Speaker 10: with Michael Parsons, but Michael Parson said, get me up

502
00:20:45,188 --> 00:20:48,228
Speaker 10: out of here, right, So that's how that is expected.

503
00:20:48,508 --> 00:20:51,908
Speaker 10: Everybody around Dallas Cowboys Nation understands that it's going to

504
00:20:51,988 --> 00:20:56,308
Speaker 10: get done. The only thing that I worry about is

505
00:20:56,348 --> 00:20:59,788
Speaker 10: the negotiations on this particular deal because of the situation

506
00:20:59,868 --> 00:21:03,268
Speaker 10: that Michael Parsons and Jerry Jones had. Michael parsons agent

507
00:21:03,348 --> 00:21:07,068
Speaker 10: was David Mallika, so that is the same representation that

508
00:21:07,108 --> 00:21:10,108
Speaker 10: George Pickens has. So that's the only potential hiccup that

509
00:21:10,548 --> 00:21:11,308
Speaker 10: I can foresee.

510
00:21:11,548 --> 00:21:13,468
Speaker 7: Is he going to make more than Cede Lamb? I

511
00:21:13,508 --> 00:21:14,948
Speaker 7: don't know. We just know that.

512
00:21:15,148 --> 00:21:18,188
Speaker 10: The wide receiver market just got reset. But Jerry's never

513
00:21:18,348 --> 00:21:20,508
Speaker 10: afraid of spinning, and they have the cast space to do.

514
00:21:20,588 --> 00:21:21,588
Speaker 8: So that's so funny.

515
00:21:22,228 --> 00:21:24,868
Speaker 1: Whenever I think about this, this saga that is the

516
00:21:24,948 --> 00:21:29,228
Speaker 1: off season for the Dallas Cowboys, I related to another saga,

517
00:21:29,268 --> 00:21:31,068
Speaker 1: and that's the Fast and Furious one, you know, And

518
00:21:31,068 --> 00:21:34,708
Speaker 1: it's just like it's the same storyline, different characters. But

519
00:21:34,748 --> 00:21:36,348
Speaker 1: at the end of the day, Dominic Toretto is going

520
00:21:36,388 --> 00:21:39,028
Speaker 1: to be the main character, and that's gonna be Jerry Jones.

521
00:21:39,028 --> 00:21:42,028
Speaker 1: You know, Jerry Jones knows how to pull in the crowd. Now,

522
00:21:42,108 --> 00:21:44,428
Speaker 1: is this a big deal or a big deal? I

523
00:21:44,468 --> 00:21:46,428
Speaker 1: think it is a big deal. Why because when you

524
00:21:46,468 --> 00:21:49,708
Speaker 1: start to see what George Pickens did for that offense, right,

525
00:21:49,748 --> 00:21:51,988
Speaker 1: you start to see what how easy if there was

526
00:21:52,028 --> 00:21:54,108
Speaker 1: we had a question in our first r about somebody

527
00:21:54,388 --> 00:21:55,988
Speaker 1: that makes life easy.

528
00:21:55,708 --> 00:21:56,668
Speaker 8: For everybody else?

529
00:21:56,788 --> 00:21:59,428
Speaker 1: Right, if we had that question last year, the vote

530
00:21:59,468 --> 00:22:01,708
Speaker 1: for vote for George Pickts. Not only did he make

531
00:22:01,708 --> 00:22:03,708
Speaker 1: it easy for Dak Prescott, but he made it easier

532
00:22:03,708 --> 00:22:06,988
Speaker 1: for CD Lamb. Now you couldn't double cover Ceedee Lamb, right,

533
00:22:07,068 --> 00:22:09,828
Speaker 1: so there were times where Ceedee Lamb got hurt and

534
00:22:09,828 --> 00:22:11,628
Speaker 1: it was George Pickens. And then all of a sudden.

535
00:22:11,708 --> 00:22:15,668
Speaker 1: Jake Ferguson has this career year right, like the span

536
00:22:15,748 --> 00:22:17,708
Speaker 1: of four or five game Jake Ferguson was the number

537
00:22:17,748 --> 00:22:20,388
Speaker 1: one tight end in the NFL, leading with yards and

538
00:22:20,388 --> 00:22:22,508
Speaker 1: touchdowns or whatever it was. So I think it's a

539
00:22:22,508 --> 00:22:25,948
Speaker 1: big deal for Dallas Cowboys and for Jerry Jones to

540
00:22:26,068 --> 00:22:29,068
Speaker 1: have a picture and a goal of what number three

541
00:22:29,108 --> 00:22:31,348
Speaker 1: would look like for them in the future, because if

542
00:22:31,508 --> 00:22:35,068
Speaker 1: George Pickens is on the roster next year, that offense,

543
00:22:35,188 --> 00:22:37,708
Speaker 1: with that run game, with all of those weapons offensively,

544
00:22:38,188 --> 00:22:39,948
Speaker 1: that's going to be a high parted offense could be done.

545
00:22:40,108 --> 00:22:42,668
Speaker 6: Look when we talk about guys who just make it easy,

546
00:22:42,788 --> 00:22:45,508
Speaker 6: make it look easy out there, make it look effortless

547
00:22:45,548 --> 00:22:47,948
Speaker 6: out there, like GP three is up there, like this

548
00:22:48,028 --> 00:22:51,228
Speaker 6: dude is smooth a mix but fantastic catchers look like

549
00:22:51,308 --> 00:22:53,988
Speaker 6: it's nothing. What I don't understand about Jerry Jones is

550
00:22:54,388 --> 00:22:55,308
Speaker 6: why do you feel the.

551
00:22:55,268 --> 00:22:58,068
Speaker 7: Need to test everybody's resolve? Why do you got to

552
00:22:58,108 --> 00:22:59,028
Speaker 7: test somebody's.

553
00:22:58,708 --> 00:23:00,428
Speaker 6: Resolve all the way to the very end and see

554
00:23:00,468 --> 00:23:02,868
Speaker 6: if they really truly want to be a Dallas Cowboy.

555
00:23:02,908 --> 00:23:05,188
Speaker 6: You have guys out there sack of fighting their bodies.

556
00:23:05,228 --> 00:23:07,428
Speaker 6: Two three, four years to go and get that contract,

557
00:23:07,548 --> 00:23:09,068
Speaker 6: and then when it's time to pan, we do this

558
00:23:09,228 --> 00:23:11,668
Speaker 6: same dance. And my issue is in the fact that

559
00:23:11,708 --> 00:23:13,908
Speaker 6: maybe or maybe not the contract will get done or not.

560
00:23:14,228 --> 00:23:16,748
Speaker 7: It's the drama that comes along with it. Look look

561
00:23:16,748 --> 00:23:20,148
Speaker 7: at gee George Pickens. He has a button, this button,

562
00:23:20,508 --> 00:23:23,228
Speaker 7: this button. George Pickens might have the biggest one of

563
00:23:23,268 --> 00:23:23,948
Speaker 7: these buttons.

564
00:23:23,948 --> 00:23:25,708
Speaker 6: And anybody I've seen did you see him in that

565
00:23:25,788 --> 00:23:26,748
Speaker 6: Lions game last year?

566
00:23:26,868 --> 00:23:27,748
Speaker 7: Some of those routes that.

567
00:23:27,708 --> 00:23:31,868
Speaker 6: He ran like he didn't care about that game in specific.

568
00:23:32,068 --> 00:23:35,428
Speaker 6: So if this does go to drama, that's what I

569
00:23:35,548 --> 00:23:37,708
Speaker 6: worry about is how far will that go with a

570
00:23:37,748 --> 00:23:39,228
Speaker 6: player like George Pickens.

571
00:23:39,548 --> 00:23:41,428
Speaker 7: That's what That's what scares me.

572
00:23:41,628 --> 00:23:43,908
Speaker 6: And then it carries into training camp and then you

573
00:23:43,948 --> 00:23:46,068
Speaker 6: can finally come to week one and the guy is

574
00:23:46,108 --> 00:23:48,108
Speaker 6: not in sync with Dak and now you got a

575
00:23:48,228 --> 00:23:49,748
Speaker 6: three four weeks for guys.

576
00:23:49,548 --> 00:23:52,468
Speaker 7: To get into rhythm. Like for what, it hurts the team,

577
00:23:52,588 --> 00:23:54,228
Speaker 7: the drama hurts the team.

578
00:23:54,468 --> 00:23:57,988
Speaker 10: I would typically agree with you in this particular situation,

579
00:23:58,148 --> 00:24:00,988
Speaker 10: I have to disagree only because of the fact of

580
00:24:01,068 --> 00:24:03,788
Speaker 10: who is in the ear of George Pickens. When you

581
00:24:03,828 --> 00:24:06,028
Speaker 10: go look at this social media is George Pickins and

582
00:24:06,108 --> 00:24:07,948
Speaker 10: Ceedee Lamb. These guys are two pees in the pot.

583
00:24:08,028 --> 00:24:11,828
Speaker 10: They are literally brothers. They do everything together. These guys

584
00:24:11,828 --> 00:24:13,908
Speaker 10: shop together, they play video games together, they go every

585
00:24:13,948 --> 00:24:17,228
Speaker 10: you go vacations. These guys do everything together. Ceedee Lamb

586
00:24:17,268 --> 00:24:19,628
Speaker 10: has been through this process. Right, who throws him the ball?

587
00:24:19,828 --> 00:24:22,988
Speaker 10: Dak Prescott? Dak Prescott has been through this process. So

588
00:24:23,108 --> 00:24:26,468
Speaker 10: if you were the odd man out or the outlier

589
00:24:26,508 --> 00:24:28,508
Speaker 10: in the situation, yeah, it's easy to get in your

590
00:24:28,508 --> 00:24:31,268
Speaker 10: head and possibly be combative about this. But when the

591
00:24:31,388 --> 00:24:33,468
Speaker 10: two guys that you're closest with on the team, the

592
00:24:33,468 --> 00:24:35,268
Speaker 10: guy who throws you the ball and the guy that

593
00:24:35,308 --> 00:24:38,548
Speaker 10: you ride everywhere with in life, is telling you, a player,

594
00:24:38,628 --> 00:24:40,628
Speaker 10: just let this play out. Don't say nothing, don't get

595
00:24:40,628 --> 00:24:43,028
Speaker 10: into it, whatever, let your agent handle it. You have

596
00:24:43,148 --> 00:24:45,308
Speaker 10: the boat of confidence that is going to get done.

597
00:24:45,508 --> 00:24:49,668
Speaker 10: Nobody's questioning his significance on a team, nobody's questioning his impact.

598
00:24:50,068 --> 00:24:52,908
Speaker 10: Everybody knows the deal's gonna get done. The question is

599
00:24:53,188 --> 00:24:54,588
Speaker 10: how much and what are the terms?

600
00:24:54,668 --> 00:24:56,268
Speaker 1: So I got to ask you today because you have

601
00:24:56,348 --> 00:24:59,148
Speaker 1: the insider information, not insider information, but the insight. Look

602
00:24:59,188 --> 00:25:02,628
Speaker 1: at that situation you mentioned you know you have CD

603
00:25:02,788 --> 00:25:06,188
Speaker 1: Lamb that's right there with George pick I can't help

604
00:25:06,228 --> 00:25:08,948
Speaker 1: but go back to last year with Michael Parsons situation.

605
00:25:09,588 --> 00:25:12,148
Speaker 1: He had Digs, right, I mean I remember doing training camp.

606
00:25:12,148 --> 00:25:14,988
Speaker 1: Digs are standing right there with him during an interview.

607
00:25:15,188 --> 00:25:18,708
Speaker 1: Are you saying, like, give us an insider look at

608
00:25:18,748 --> 00:25:22,068
Speaker 1: at the Dallas cowboy dynamic that there are certain guys

609
00:25:22,108 --> 00:25:24,348
Speaker 1: that if they stand next to you. Jerry Jones looks

610
00:25:24,388 --> 00:25:27,348
Speaker 1: at him, was like, okay, cool, that's almost verification or

611
00:25:27,468 --> 00:25:29,028
Speaker 1: there are other you know, how does.

612
00:25:28,908 --> 00:25:32,668
Speaker 10: That work that Michael Parsons Trayvon Diggs, their relationship is different,

613
00:25:32,708 --> 00:25:35,468
Speaker 10: and there's a reason why Trayvon Diggs is no longer there,

614
00:25:35,588 --> 00:25:37,308
Speaker 10: nor is he with the Green Bay Packers. So there

615
00:25:37,348 --> 00:25:40,108
Speaker 10: were some things that were going on there, but that's

616
00:25:40,148 --> 00:25:42,788
Speaker 10: a completely different situation Michael Parsons. There was a lot

617
00:25:42,828 --> 00:25:44,788
Speaker 10: of tension there because Michael Parsons is one of the

618
00:25:44,868 --> 00:25:47,508
Speaker 10: few outspoken guys. Right, He's not a guy that she's

619
00:25:47,548 --> 00:25:49,508
Speaker 10: gonna let us age and deal with his thing. Jerry

620
00:25:49,588 --> 00:25:52,308
Speaker 10: Jones is old school, right, he'll do a handshake deal.

621
00:25:52,588 --> 00:25:54,988
Speaker 10: You say, you know I'm a man, you say I

622
00:25:54,988 --> 00:25:56,668
Speaker 10: say something you and man, you say something, we agree

623
00:25:56,748 --> 00:25:57,868
Speaker 10: upon it, Boom, that's.

624
00:25:57,708 --> 00:25:58,148
Speaker 7: What it is.

625
00:25:58,308 --> 00:26:01,308
Speaker 10: He's gonna go by what the contract stakes, whether that's

626
00:26:01,348 --> 00:26:03,948
Speaker 10: a handshake deal, whether that's on paper. So you see

627
00:26:04,028 --> 00:26:08,708
Speaker 10: him continually leaning on Hey, per the contract, per the rules,

628
00:26:08,708 --> 00:26:11,388
Speaker 10: and the parameters of the franchise tag. This is the

629
00:26:11,388 --> 00:26:13,628
Speaker 10: timeline that I have. This is what I'm bob doing.

630
00:26:13,748 --> 00:26:15,908
Speaker 10: He's not gonna screw anybody. He's just gonna go by

631
00:26:15,908 --> 00:26:19,028
Speaker 10: what's on paper. Now, whether or not people prefer that

632
00:26:19,068 --> 00:26:21,068
Speaker 10: he doesn't, people prefer that he comes out and gives

633
00:26:21,068 --> 00:26:23,988
Speaker 10: a contract earlier. That's solely up to him, and that's

634
00:26:24,028 --> 00:26:26,028
Speaker 10: what he rest assured it. I get to make the

635
00:26:26,068 --> 00:26:28,748
Speaker 10: decision per the parameters of this contract.

636
00:26:28,788 --> 00:26:31,028
Speaker 7: He's never went against the grain of the contract.

637
00:26:31,228 --> 00:26:34,068
Speaker 2: One thing that shouldn't go unnoticed is you use the

638
00:26:34,108 --> 00:26:36,948
Speaker 2: word drama dramatic with the situation. What I have appreciated

639
00:26:37,028 --> 00:26:39,828
Speaker 2: about George Pickens's time with the Dallas Cowboys is actually

640
00:26:39,908 --> 00:26:42,268
Speaker 2: his play and behavior both on and off the field,

641
00:26:42,268 --> 00:26:44,428
Speaker 2: have been not that they have not been dramatic. And

642
00:26:44,508 --> 00:26:46,868
Speaker 2: everything we saw from him when he was with the

643
00:26:46,868 --> 00:26:49,428
Speaker 2: Pittsburgh Steelers, I think some of us when he got

644
00:26:49,428 --> 00:26:51,308
Speaker 2: traded were like, oh no, how is this going to go?

645
00:26:51,388 --> 00:26:55,108
Speaker 2: And he has fully laced up performed, which is very

646
00:26:55,188 --> 00:26:57,148
Speaker 2: excellent for him and the fact that it qualifies him

647
00:26:57,148 --> 00:26:59,628
Speaker 2: now for this big deal whenever it happens. Now, speaking

648
00:26:59,668 --> 00:27:02,868
Speaker 2: of drama, dramatic and content creation, let's circle back to

649
00:27:02,988 --> 00:27:05,788
Speaker 2: Jerry Jones once again, because he had another SoundBite a

650
00:27:05,828 --> 00:27:08,388
Speaker 2: little later in this conversation with the media, and you know,

651
00:27:08,428 --> 00:27:10,708
Speaker 2: we're all parents here at the table and watching the show,

652
00:27:10,788 --> 00:27:12,308
Speaker 2: so this resonates a little bit.

653
00:27:12,348 --> 00:27:14,988
Speaker 3: Go ahead, takeaway, Jerry, There's no.

654
00:27:14,988 --> 00:27:20,348
Speaker 13: Issue with me with talking to agents. I need to

655
00:27:20,388 --> 00:27:26,628
Speaker 13: do a better job of not getting well Daddy said

656
00:27:26,668 --> 00:27:30,708
Speaker 13: I could have it, and him going to mama and

657
00:27:30,748 --> 00:27:34,828
Speaker 13: Mama saying Daddy said I could have it. We've got

658
00:27:34,868 --> 00:27:36,548
Speaker 13: to get on the same page. And I have something

659
00:27:36,548 --> 00:27:37,468
Speaker 13: to do with that as well.

660
00:27:41,068 --> 00:27:44,268
Speaker 7: Is this guy for real, Thomas.

661
00:27:44,828 --> 00:27:47,708
Speaker 10: What he's referring to is I'm sure that his executive

662
00:27:47,748 --> 00:27:51,308
Speaker 10: support team, especially his son Stephen Jones, probably got out.

663
00:27:51,348 --> 00:27:53,668
Speaker 10: It was like that stop talking to these cats and

664
00:27:53,668 --> 00:27:56,788
Speaker 10: stop shaking their hands and having them agree they they're

665
00:27:56,828 --> 00:27:58,108
Speaker 10: not going to stand by that. They're going to go

666
00:27:58,108 --> 00:28:00,788
Speaker 10: about what their agents is. So that what he's referring to.

667
00:28:00,868 --> 00:28:02,868
Speaker 10: That I believe he's referring to is the Michael Parsons

668
00:28:02,908 --> 00:28:05,388
Speaker 10: situation where him and Micah and off they walked around,

669
00:28:05,388 --> 00:28:06,628
Speaker 10: they had a conversation, they had.

670
00:28:06,548 --> 00:28:09,108
Speaker 7: An agreement between two men, shook on it.

671
00:28:09,148 --> 00:28:11,188
Speaker 10: Right, and then Michael Parsons took the information back to

672
00:28:11,228 --> 00:28:12,988
Speaker 10: his agent. His agent was like, Ah, that's not how

673
00:28:12,988 --> 00:28:15,228
Speaker 10: this is going down. And then Jerry felt like he

674
00:28:15,268 --> 00:28:17,108
Speaker 10: didn't need to speak with the agent. That's what he's

675
00:28:17,148 --> 00:28:19,388
Speaker 10: referring to. So when he say he needs to do better,

676
00:28:19,548 --> 00:28:22,668
Speaker 10: I'm assuming that he's pretty much his support staff and

677
00:28:22,708 --> 00:28:24,308
Speaker 10: saying let the agents deal.

678
00:28:24,148 --> 00:28:25,388
Speaker 8: With Hey, you got to give him the credit.

679
00:28:25,428 --> 00:28:25,548
Speaker 9: Bro.

680
00:28:25,628 --> 00:28:27,708
Speaker 8: That was a threat analogy because we all asked parents.

681
00:28:27,748 --> 00:28:31,068
Speaker 1: We've been there, Yeah, yeah, daddy can't have this candy?

682
00:28:31,268 --> 00:28:37,148
Speaker 7: No, no, all right, mom can have this candy?

683
00:28:37,468 --> 00:28:39,348
Speaker 1: Yeah daddy, Mommy said, I can have a candidate.

684
00:28:39,428 --> 00:28:42,668
Speaker 7: Why are you thinking candy? So great?

685
00:28:42,668 --> 00:28:43,188
Speaker 4: Analogy?

686
00:28:43,348 --> 00:28:43,668
Speaker 11: Jerry?

687
00:28:43,988 --> 00:28:45,988
Speaker 2: Or how about when they asked for that thing? And

688
00:28:45,988 --> 00:28:47,828
Speaker 2: then you're like, what did the other parents say? Like

689
00:28:48,428 --> 00:28:51,388
Speaker 2: you're trying to decipher exactly, like I'm not sure, how

690
00:28:51,428 --> 00:28:52,948
Speaker 2: are we co parenting the situation?

691
00:28:53,348 --> 00:28:53,868
Speaker 3: You never know?

692
00:28:54,628 --> 00:28:56,828
Speaker 2: Thank you mister Jones for all that you give us

693
00:28:56,908 --> 00:28:59,628
Speaker 2: every day. All right, moving on, we have a guest

694
00:28:59,628 --> 00:29:02,908

Speaker 3: He's coming on to.

00:29:04,508 --> 00:29:07,628
Speaker 2: Talk about his draft status, his commitment to the Combine,

698
00:29:07,668 --> 00:29:10,188
Speaker 2: and everything leading up to the end of April. Coming

699
00:29:10,228 --> 00:29:12,628
Speaker 2: out of Alabama, being a young college player of big

700
00:29:12,668 --> 00:29:15,148

715
00:30:02,508 --> 00:30:03,028
Speaker 3: access to it.

716
00:30:03,148 --> 00:30:03,308

00:30:07,628 --> 00:30:10,268
Speaker 2: all of the standard processes the combine, the meetings, the

720
00:30:10,308 --> 00:30:13,068
Speaker 2: pro day. How are you feeling in this moment knowing

721
00:30:13,108 --> 00:30:15,948
Speaker 2: that draft night, Draft weekend is just a few short

722
00:30:15,948 --> 00:30:16,508
Speaker 2: weeks away.

723
00:30:16,748 --> 00:30:18,828
Speaker 12: Now, I'm feeling honored, I'm feeling blessed.

724
00:30:19,668 --> 00:30:22,108

725
00:30:22,228 --> 00:30:24,828

726
00:30:24,828 --> 00:30:28,188
Speaker 9: a better understanding of you, and you know, just they're

727
00:30:28,188 --> 00:30:31,108
Speaker 9: trying to see what they're going to add to their team.

728
00:30:31,468 --> 00:30:33,628
Speaker 12: It's definitely a process. It's a long process.

729
00:30:33,708 --> 00:30:36,148
Speaker 9: And just getting through it knowing that that at that

730
00:30:36,188 --> 00:30:38,148
Speaker 9: time is almost here for your name to be called,

731
00:30:38,148 --> 00:30:39,268
Speaker 9: it's definitely a blessing.

732
00:30:39,628 --> 00:30:41,988
Speaker 1: Well, you talk about process, your journey has also been

733
00:30:42,028 --> 00:30:42,508
Speaker 1: a process.

734
00:30:42,548 --> 00:30:43,228
Speaker 8: You started your.

735
00:30:43,148 --> 00:30:46,188
Speaker 1: Freshman year at Texas A and M at just seventeen

736
00:30:46,268 --> 00:30:48,308
Speaker 1: years old. How are you able to handle all that

737
00:30:48,388 --> 00:30:51,828
Speaker 1: pressure coming from being a student athlete and balance it

738
00:30:51,868 --> 00:30:54,908
Speaker 1: with being such a great athlete at a young age.

739
00:30:55,348 --> 00:30:58,228
Speaker 9: Definitely my support network, I mean they've they've helped me

740
00:30:58,268 --> 00:31:00,188
Speaker 9: out through my whole life. My mom and my brother,

741
00:31:00,828 --> 00:31:02,588
Speaker 9: and then the staff that was there, you know, the

742
00:31:02,668 --> 00:31:03,508
Speaker 9: late Terry Price.

743
00:31:04,548 --> 00:31:05,588
Speaker 12: I owe everything to him.

744
00:31:05,748 --> 00:31:07,948
Speaker 9: He was definitely a second father figured to me, and

745
00:31:07,988 --> 00:31:09,508
Speaker 9: he showed me the path while was there.

746
00:31:09,748 --> 00:31:11,748
Speaker 10: All right, dogd listen, there's a lot of buzz around

747
00:31:11,748 --> 00:31:14,468
Speaker 10: your QB, mister Todd Simpson, and a lot of people

748
00:31:14,468 --> 00:31:16,508
Speaker 10: are saying that, hey, he might be the top QB

749
00:31:16,628 --> 00:31:19,108
Speaker 10: in this year's draft. What makes him special and why

750
00:31:19,148 --> 00:31:21,228
Speaker 10: should everybody take him a little bit more seriously in

751
00:31:21,308 --> 00:31:22,908
Speaker 10: terms of the rankings in this year's draft.

752
00:31:23,268 --> 00:31:26,668
Speaker 9: Man, just his character and like the development and his leadership,

753
00:31:26,828 --> 00:31:29,508
Speaker 9: Like you see him around the whole facility knowing, like

754
00:31:29,588 --> 00:31:32,108
Speaker 9: knowing how to you know, get comfortable with guys laughing

755
00:31:32,508 --> 00:31:34,868
Speaker 9: and then when the time, when the time's coming, his

756
00:31:35,028 --> 00:31:37,788
Speaker 9: dude's out here like straight face. He's calling out place,

757
00:31:37,948 --> 00:31:40,148
Speaker 9: he's talking his smack and he's making sure guys are

758
00:31:40,468 --> 00:31:42,748
Speaker 9: you know about and by the standard Alabama, you don't

759
00:31:42,748 --> 00:31:44,508
Speaker 9: really see that anywhere in any facility.

760
00:31:44,668 --> 00:31:45,948
Speaker 7: Oh you said talking to smack.

761
00:31:45,988 --> 00:31:47,668
Speaker 10: You're saying, so he has a little bit of Philip

762
00:31:47,748 --> 00:31:48,188
Speaker 10: Rivers in them.

763
00:31:48,228 --> 00:31:52,668
Speaker 9: Oh you know, first thing you hear you getting ever

764
00:31:52,788 --> 00:31:54,228
Speaker 9: city is Todd Simpson for sure?

765
00:31:54,628 --> 00:31:57,228
Speaker 7: Oh hear that?

766
00:31:57,588 --> 00:31:57,868
Speaker 9: All right?

767
00:31:57,868 --> 00:32:00,428
Speaker 6: I'll tie one of your former teammates, Jaylen Milroe, got

768
00:32:00,428 --> 00:32:03,348
Speaker 6: his first Super Bowl ring as part of that Seahawks squad.

769
00:32:03,668 --> 00:32:06,068
Speaker 6: Has he offered you any advice to you and how

770
00:32:06,108 --> 00:32:08,748
Speaker 6: you're going to prepare for the next level at the pros.

771
00:32:09,348 --> 00:32:11,708
Speaker 9: It's mostly just keep your head down and stand on track.

772
00:32:11,908 --> 00:32:14,788
Speaker 9: Like everybody's process is different. And that's why I learned

773
00:32:14,788 --> 00:32:17,548
Speaker 9: from all my guys that's came back, you know, got

774
00:32:17,588 --> 00:32:19,148
Speaker 9: to see see us last season.

775
00:32:19,428 --> 00:32:21,628
Speaker 12: It's really just doing your job and making sure you

776
00:32:21,948 --> 00:32:22,708
Speaker 12: stand on track.

777
00:32:23,028 --> 00:32:25,708
Speaker 2: Oh to a couple of our favorite draft prospects from

778
00:32:25,788 --> 00:32:28,748
Speaker 2: last year. We're Alabama alums and they absolutely shined on

779
00:32:28,788 --> 00:32:31,348
Speaker 2: the draft stage. Joh Hod Campbell and Tyler Booker both

780
00:32:31,388 --> 00:32:34,668
Speaker 2: had standout rookie seasons this year, with Dallas and Philadelphia

781
00:32:34,708 --> 00:32:38,148

814
00:33:58,348 --> 00:34:01,348
Speaker 10: All Right, man, you have a complete genetic cheat code

815
00:34:01,348 --> 00:34:04,788
Speaker 10: going on in your household. Your dad played college ball,

816
00:34:05,148 --> 00:34:06,988
Speaker 10: your brother played college ball.

817
00:34:06,868 --> 00:34:08,908
Speaker 7: Your mom was a collegiate volleyball player.

818
00:34:09,228 --> 00:34:11,148
Speaker 10: I'm not sure what y'all are eating about, hey, but

819
00:34:11,188 --> 00:34:13,908
Speaker 10: I need that at the crib. What is what is

820
00:34:13,948 --> 00:34:16,268
Speaker 10: family Dame night like? Or what is the most competitive

821
00:34:16,308 --> 00:34:17,548
Speaker 10: thing that y'all do? I know, there's a lot of

822
00:34:17,548 --> 00:34:18,508
Speaker 10: smack talking going on.

823
00:34:18,948 --> 00:34:19,148
Speaker 12: Man.

824
00:34:19,428 --> 00:34:21,548
Speaker 9: Used to go, you used to get real competitive when

825
00:34:21,548 --> 00:34:24,028
Speaker 9: the when the Bama and Clemson games used to come

826
00:34:24,068 --> 00:34:26,828
Speaker 9: on in Bama Army And I wasn't a Bama fan,

827
00:34:26,908 --> 00:34:28,988
Speaker 9: going I'm not gonna I'm not gonna sit here and

828
00:34:28,988 --> 00:34:32,508
Speaker 9: fake it. But those those rooms and the competitive spirit

829
00:34:32,588 --> 00:34:36,028
Speaker 9: in that room, like that's being around it every day

830
00:34:36,108 --> 00:34:39,228
Speaker 9: makes you want to be an athlete and it is

831
00:34:39,268 --> 00:34:41,788
Speaker 9: definitely crazy in the household. LT.

832
00:34:41,988 --> 00:34:45,068
Speaker 2: One of the important parts of the draft prospect process

833
00:34:45,188 --> 00:34:46,708
Speaker 2: is these teams really want to get to know the

834
00:34:46,748 --> 00:34:49,108
Speaker 2: young man both on and off the field. It sounds

835
00:34:49,148 --> 00:34:52,028
Speaker 2: like you are very involved in the various communities, not

836
00:34:52,068 --> 00:34:53,668
Speaker 2: only the one that you grew up in Milton, but

837
00:34:53,708 --> 00:34:56,268
Speaker 2: also in Tuscaloosa. Can you just shine a light on

838
00:34:56,308 --> 00:34:57,708
Speaker 2: some of the work that you have done in the

839
00:34:57,788 --> 00:34:59,948
Speaker 2: organizations that you have chosen to work with that you

840
00:34:59,988 --> 00:35:02,108
Speaker 2: look forward to maybe carrying that into the NFL.

841
00:35:02,348 --> 00:35:05,228
Speaker 9: Yeah, for sure. So I was able to, you know,

842
00:35:05,308 --> 00:35:09,948
Speaker 9: host a few football camps, but at Bama, I was

843
00:35:09,948 --> 00:35:13,508
Speaker 9: able to, you know, run the turkey ball they do

844
00:35:13,588 --> 00:35:17,388
Speaker 9: the sponsorship to where they have these elementary kids come

845
00:35:17,468 --> 00:35:19,228
Speaker 9: in and it's an annual game.

846
00:35:19,268 --> 00:35:21,948
Speaker 12: They do it every year. It's it's a crazy environment.

847
00:35:22,988 --> 00:35:23,588
Speaker 12: Kids come in.

848
00:35:23,668 --> 00:35:28,028
Speaker 9: I was able to donate jerseys, get pictures, and there's

849
00:35:28,068 --> 00:35:31,708
Speaker 9: thousands of fans. It's it's crazy. I was also able to,

850
00:35:31,788 --> 00:35:34,068
Speaker 9: you know, donate my hair. I used to have a

851
00:35:34,068 --> 00:35:35,148
Speaker 9: lot of hair going up here.

852
00:35:35,228 --> 00:35:39,428
Speaker 7: Forty uh you did Locks for Love.

853
00:35:39,348 --> 00:35:40,748
Speaker 12: Right, Yeah, Locks for Love.

854
00:35:40,988 --> 00:35:44,428
Speaker 9: I was able to do that and it was It's

855
00:35:44,428 --> 00:35:46,988
Speaker 9: definitely a blessing being able to, you know, just just

856
00:35:47,028 --> 00:35:49,988
Speaker 9: see the smile on kids' faces after experiences like that.

857
00:35:49,988 --> 00:35:51,868
Speaker 3: That's really cool. What an awesome guy to look up to.

858
00:35:52,148 --> 00:35:54,268
Speaker 3: Last question, LT. What's that stand for?

859
00:35:54,508 --> 00:35:54,908
Speaker 8: You?

860
00:35:54,948 --> 00:35:56,148
Speaker 3: Do people call you lieutenant?

861
00:35:56,228 --> 00:35:58,908
Speaker 2: Do they you do like Ladadian Tomlinson, Like, what what's

862
00:35:58,948 --> 00:35:59,868
Speaker 2: the story behind the LT?

863
00:36:00,388 --> 00:36:02,748
Speaker 12: So? L T is a it's a biblical name given

864
00:36:02,748 --> 00:36:02,868
Speaker 12: to you.

865
00:36:03,028 --> 00:36:07,788
Speaker 9: Our moms stands for Lebyus Thomas, surname of Thaddeus in

866
00:36:07,868 --> 00:36:08,348
Speaker 9: the Bible.

867
00:36:09,948 --> 00:36:12,908
Speaker 2: Fantastic look for lt Overton to be drafted and maybe

868
00:36:12,948 --> 00:36:15,508
Speaker 2: your new favorite player, maybe your kid's new favorite player

869
00:36:15,508 --> 00:36:16,868
Speaker 2: because of how generous he is.

870
00:36:17,148 --> 00:36:19,108
Speaker 3: Lt Overton, everybody, good luck, stay healthy.

871
00:36:19,148 --> 00:36:19,308
Speaker 9: Man.

872
00:36:19,308 --> 00:36:23,588
Speaker 3: We'll talk to you next season. But absolutely look at him.

873
00:36:24,348 --> 00:36:27,548
Speaker 15: Daniel Jeremiah's top rated defensive prospect in the draft is

874
00:36:27,588 --> 00:36:31,708
Speaker 15: Ohio State linebacker Sonny Styles, and he is not lying.

875
00:36:31,748 --> 00:36:34,908
Speaker 15: After styles epic performance, remember there at the combine, we

876
00:36:35,028 --> 00:36:38,628
Speaker 15: got the nickname Sonny from his fiery temper, which reminded

877
00:36:38,668 --> 00:36:41,988
Speaker 15: his family of Sonny Corleone from the Godfather. But we

878
00:36:41,988 --> 00:36:44,428
Speaker 15: also want to get to know more about this prospect too.

879
00:36:44,788 --> 00:36:46,748
Speaker 15: We'll probably be hearing his name pretty early there in

880
00:36:46,788 --> 00:36:47,788
Speaker 15: Pittsburgh at the draft.

881
00:36:52,708 --> 00:36:56,708
Speaker 8: There traveling Sonny Styles, sing a dad and by linebacker

882
00:36:56,788 --> 00:36:57,748
Speaker 8: Sonny Styles.

883
00:36:58,108 --> 00:37:00,788
Speaker 16: I'm a versatile linebacker. I can do just about anything

884
00:37:00,828 --> 00:37:01,908
Speaker 16: on the field at that position.

885
00:37:02,028 --> 00:37:04,708
Speaker 7: Bunny Styles with the takedown.

886
00:37:05,628 --> 00:37:07,788
Speaker 16: With my size, BLUs my speed, I think that's a

887
00:37:07,908 --> 00:37:09,908
Speaker 16: unique asset and cover a lot of ground.

888
00:37:09,708 --> 00:37:10,548
Speaker 12: In the middle of the field No.

889
00:37:10,748 --> 00:37:14,028
Speaker 16: Four, seven forty and be very physical in the box,

890
00:37:14,308 --> 00:37:16,468
Speaker 16: stopping the running things like that, and I think I

891
00:37:16,468 --> 00:37:18,388
Speaker 16: can do a lot of different things in coverage as well.

892
00:37:19,028 --> 00:37:20,828
Speaker 8: Brought down by Styles.

893
00:37:21,468 --> 00:37:26,108
Speaker 16: Sunny Styles linebacker played for the Ohause at university. My

894
00:37:26,148 --> 00:37:30,388
Speaker 16: brother Lorenzo Styles played with him. He plays defensive back

895
00:37:30,428 --> 00:37:32,388
Speaker 16: with me, and it was awesome. He started a Notre

896
00:37:32,468 --> 00:37:37,028
Speaker 16: Dame style, transferring it. After two years of Notre Dames,

897
00:37:37,028 --> 00:37:40,108
Speaker 16: Ohio State switched from receiver to DBA. So it was

898
00:37:40,148 --> 00:37:42,148
Speaker 16: awesome having him on the same side of the ball together.

899
00:37:42,588 --> 00:37:44,628
Speaker 16: It was super special experience. You know, we're blessed to

900
00:37:44,628 --> 00:37:46,068
Speaker 16: be able to play at the highest level of college

901
00:37:46,068 --> 00:37:46,708
Speaker 16: football together.

902
00:37:46,748 --> 00:37:47,428
Speaker 8: So it was awesome.

903
00:37:47,708 --> 00:37:51,108
Speaker 4: Whatso Styles, where the house cold?

904
00:37:55,748 --> 00:37:58,508
Speaker 16: So my dad he played at Ohio State and he

905
00:37:58,548 --> 00:38:02,788
Speaker 16: played linebacker, played there in the early nineties, got drafted

906
00:38:02,828 --> 00:38:05,428
Speaker 16: to the Atlanta Falcons, and he won a Super Bowl

907
00:38:05,428 --> 00:38:08,628
Speaker 16: for the Rams. He's been an awesome, awesome part of

908
00:38:08,668 --> 00:38:10,668
Speaker 16: my entire journey from four years old all the.

909
00:38:10,668 --> 00:38:11,428
Speaker 12: Way up until now.

910
00:38:12,308 --> 00:38:13,428
Speaker 8: Super close with my dad.

911
00:38:14,348 --> 00:38:17,108
Speaker 16: And you're a little boy, your dad's your superhero. You know,

912
00:38:17,228 --> 00:38:20,948
Speaker 16: he's my superhero. For one just to being a football player.

913
00:38:21,148 --> 00:38:22,548
Speaker 16: Sparked my love for the game.

914
00:38:22,828 --> 00:38:25,868
Speaker 8: Its Lorenzo styles out to make this.

915
00:38:25,908 --> 00:38:28,668
Speaker 16: Stop and then too just seeing who he was as

916
00:38:28,708 --> 00:38:30,868
Speaker 16: a husband, as a father, a kind of man he was.

917
00:38:31,268 --> 00:38:33,428
Speaker 16: He gave me an idea of what it was supposed

918
00:38:33,428 --> 00:38:36,388
Speaker 16: to look like and showed me what it meant to sacrifice.

919
00:38:35,868 --> 00:38:36,508
Speaker 12: For your family.

920
00:38:39,388 --> 00:38:41,748
Speaker 16: Draft night is going to be an emotional time for me,

921
00:38:42,468 --> 00:38:44,588
Speaker 16: family around all the people that helped me get there,

922
00:38:45,148 --> 00:38:47,268
Speaker 16: kind of just thinking about the sacrifices that were put

923
00:38:47,268 --> 00:38:48,548
Speaker 16: in for me to get to this point.

924
00:38:48,788 --> 00:38:50,348
Speaker 7: Probably going to cry when I hear my name.

925
00:38:51,268 --> 00:38:54,508
Speaker 16: Just so much emotion knowing you've been working for this

00:39:26,388 --> 00:39:29,028
Speaker 2: to draft for Anna Mendoza Raiders quarterback. We found out

940
00:39:29,028 --> 00:39:32,148
Speaker 2: this offseason that the Jets have invested their quarterback market

941
00:39:32,188 --> 00:39:35,228
Speaker 2: into the Geno Smith universe, and according to Aaron Glenn,

942
00:39:35,428 --> 00:39:37,908
Speaker 2: Gino Smith is his starter, and we'll take the Jets

943
00:39:37,948 --> 00:39:40,988
Speaker 2: to a very specific territory in New York.

944
00:39:41,028 --> 00:39:41,788
Speaker 3: What is it, Coach?

945
00:39:43,228 --> 00:39:46,308
Speaker 10: You always want to bring in competition, and that's going

946
00:39:46,388 --> 00:39:48,188
Speaker 10: to happen organically, you know what I'm saying.

947
00:39:48,588 --> 00:39:51,188
Speaker 1: But like, I just feel like like he's the guy

948
00:39:51,188 --> 00:39:52,388
Speaker 1: who's going to lead us to the promise and that

949
00:39:52,428 --> 00:39:53,148
Speaker 1: he's the guy who's going.

950
00:39:53,148 --> 00:39:55,468
Speaker 12: To touch the ball more than anybody else on offense.

951
00:39:56,588 --> 00:39:59,468
Speaker 2: Okay, so ag saying that's the guy, Isaiah, I'm gonna

952
00:39:59,468 --> 00:40:00,908
Speaker 2: skip what with your facial expressions?

953
00:40:05,428 --> 00:40:10,748
Speaker 7: So the Promised Land is a fictitious place, listen. I

954
00:40:10,868 --> 00:40:11,948
Speaker 7: respect Gino's game.

955
00:40:12,028 --> 00:40:13,508
Speaker 10: I hope he gets back to who he was a

956
00:40:13,508 --> 00:40:15,988
Speaker 10: couple of years ago with the Seattle Seahawks. I truly

957
00:40:16,308 --> 00:40:18,148
Speaker 10: hope he gets back to that level of play. I'm

958
00:40:18,228 --> 00:40:20,788
Speaker 10: just not sure that the environment is going to be

959
00:40:20,788 --> 00:40:23,028
Speaker 10: set for him in order to do so. But if

960
00:40:23,028 --> 00:40:25,308
Speaker 10: the Promise Land is where you want to go. That's

961
00:40:25,308 --> 00:40:27,828
Speaker 10: the only guy that can lead you there because he's

962
00:40:27,868 --> 00:40:29,748
Speaker 10: the one that will be driving the bus. So if

963
00:40:29,748 --> 00:40:31,628
Speaker 10: the Promised Land is a destination and you have the

964
00:40:31,668 --> 00:40:33,748
Speaker 10: gas and to take that, he's definitely the driver and

965
00:40:33,748 --> 00:40:34,748
Speaker 10: hopefully he can get you there.

966
00:40:34,788 --> 00:40:36,308
Speaker 1: Well, if you have a driver, you want to have

967
00:40:36,348 --> 00:40:39,188
Speaker 1: a great passenger that's telling you the directions.

968
00:40:38,628 --> 00:40:39,348
Speaker 8: On where to go.

969
00:40:39,428 --> 00:40:42,548
Speaker 1: And I think the thing about General Smith going to

970
00:40:42,588 --> 00:40:45,188
Speaker 1: the Jets is he has a passenger named Frank Reich,

971
00:40:45,628 --> 00:40:48,348
Speaker 1: who is a good passenger. When it comes to quarterbacks,

972
00:40:48,428 --> 00:40:51,028
Speaker 1: you think about Carson Wentz, you think about Andrew.

973
00:40:50,748 --> 00:40:52,428
Speaker 8: Love, you think about Philip Rivers.

974
00:40:52,428 --> 00:40:56,748
Speaker 1: They're a very very accurate when Frank Reich was their quarterback.

975
00:40:57,108 --> 00:41:00,428
Speaker 1: So the Promised Land, I think if the Promise Land

976
00:41:00,468 --> 00:41:03,588
Speaker 1: in this equation's better than where they've been, right and

977
00:41:03,628 --> 00:41:06,668
Speaker 1: in a place where it's a more promise scene for

978
00:41:06,748 --> 00:41:08,948
Speaker 1: the New York Jets, I think Aaron Glenn just he

979
00:41:09,028 --> 00:41:11,708
Speaker 1: knocked it out of park with that. Gino Smith just

980
00:41:11,748 --> 00:41:15,028
Speaker 1: Tosey's point. I am a big fan of players. I

981
00:41:15,068 --> 00:41:16,868
Speaker 1: want him to do well. I want him to have

982
00:41:16,908 --> 00:41:20,228
Speaker 1: a successful year. Now do they have the things around

983
00:41:20,308 --> 00:41:24,108
Speaker 1: him to be successful. I think from a I honestly.

984
00:41:23,788 --> 00:41:25,028
Speaker 3: You're working way too hard, right, No.

985
00:41:25,068 --> 00:41:25,348
Speaker 4: No, no.

986
00:41:26,308 --> 00:41:30,028
Speaker 1: With Breise Hall, with Garrett Wilson, with Adam and I Mitchell,

987
00:41:30,388 --> 00:41:32,148
Speaker 1: I think they have the pieces in place. And with

988
00:41:32,188 --> 00:41:34,108
Speaker 1: Frank Craig. You know, so it's I think it's going

989
00:41:34,148 --> 00:41:36,348
Speaker 1: to look better promise that. I'm not sure though, Yeah.

990
00:41:36,348 --> 00:41:38,188
Speaker 6: I mean he has a rookie as well who had

991
00:41:38,228 --> 00:41:41,828
Speaker 6: a decent year, Mason Taylor last year, quarterback's best friend.

992
00:41:41,948 --> 00:41:42,828
Speaker 7: Things of that nature.

993
00:41:42,868 --> 00:41:44,588
Speaker 6: A g had a nice little shirt on, had to

994
00:41:44,668 --> 00:41:47,228
Speaker 6: chest out. Yea said it with confidence. It was like

995
00:41:47,348 --> 00:41:49,428
Speaker 6: Dan Campbell said it with confidence. I don't know if

996
00:41:49,428 --> 00:41:52,188
Speaker 6: he's trying to convince himself, but I do believe they'll

997
00:41:52,228 --> 00:41:53,548
Speaker 6: be better than last year when they go to the

998
00:41:53,588 --> 00:41:56,588
Speaker 6: Promised Land. I do not think so, but they'll be better.

999
00:41:56,748 --> 00:41:59,188
Speaker 6: They will, they'll be better. I like that veteran they got,

1000
00:41:59,228 --> 00:42:00,948
Speaker 6: you know, he's got familiar with the media.

1001
00:42:02,028 --> 00:42:04,188
Speaker 2: I like how we're trying to fix the quote for Aaron.

1002
00:42:04,548 --> 00:42:08,308
Speaker 2: We're like, maybe not the Promised Land coach, but it's promising. Like,

1003
00:42:08,428 --> 00:42:12,228
Speaker 2: let's because you promising, you said it.

1004
00:42:13,668 --> 00:42:14,588
Speaker 3: That's a good one.

1005
00:42:14,628 --> 00:42:18,988
Speaker 2: You're right, it was so here's hope and coach, like,

1006
00:42:18,988 --> 00:42:21,028
Speaker 2: we really wish that for you. It's been a great

1007
00:42:21,028 --> 00:42:23,788
Speaker 2: show here on gmt B April first, and we'll find

1008
00:42:23,828 --> 00:42:27,308

00:42:27,348 --> 00:42:28,268
Speaker 2: like tomorrow.

1010
00:42:27,908 --> 00:42:30,628
Speaker 3: Because he's got Nate Neo locked.

1011
00:42:33,228 --> 00:42:40,548
Speaker 1: Do it, do it well?

1012
00:42:40,588 --> 00:42:41,548
Speaker 4: Done right?

1013
00:42:42,708 --> 00:42:45,228
Speaker 2: You need somebody to hold up your their straps there

1014
00:42:45,228 --> 00:42:47,588
Speaker 2: to keep you perfectly parallel to the ground.

1015
00:42:49,748 --> 00:42:50,308
Speaker 4: I know right.
