Speaker 2: Now.

16
00:00:53,268 --> 00:00:54,948
Speaker 5: You know it's interesting. I talked to Sean Payton, yes say,

17
00:00:54,948 --> 00:00:56,508
Speaker 5: I said, what number is this for you? He said,

18
00:00:56,548 --> 00:00:59,268
Speaker 5: twenty nine straight. Then I spoke to Eric DaCosta, the

19
00:00:59,308 --> 00:01:02,308
Speaker 5: GM of the Ravens. He said, twenty nine straight. I've

20
00:01:02,428 --> 00:01:05,708
Speaker 5: been to probably everyone since two and five, so that's

21
00:01:05,708 --> 00:01:06,268
Speaker 5: pretty good.

22
00:01:06,428 --> 00:01:07,428
Speaker 2: I think that's pretty good.

23
00:01:07,468 --> 00:01:09,148
Speaker 5: You think about it, you go through the years, that's

24
00:01:09,188 --> 00:01:11,468
Speaker 5: about nineteen straight. I've seen all these guys. I saw

25
00:01:11,668 --> 00:01:14,108
Speaker 5: Russell Wilson and Kellen Moore throw at the combine. I

26
00:01:14,228 --> 00:01:16,308
Speaker 5: was there, so I feel very proud that I have

27
00:01:16,428 --> 00:01:20,068
Speaker 5: my roots planted here in India Nightvet event.

28
00:01:20,148 --> 00:01:22,468
Speaker 4: Okay, so, now, since you are continuing to plant your

29
00:01:22,508 --> 00:01:25,188
Speaker 4: roots and grow your tree in Indianapolis, Peter, what's going

30
00:01:25,228 --> 00:01:26,028
Speaker 4: on this weekend there?

31
00:01:26,068 --> 00:01:27,708
Speaker 3: What are we looking forward to? How's your dayman?

32
00:01:27,788 --> 00:01:28,068
Speaker 6: So far?

33
00:01:28,468 --> 00:01:30,508
Speaker 5: All right, we kicked it off perfectly last night. The

34
00:01:30,508 --> 00:01:32,868
Speaker 5: defensive line and the linebackers really were awesome, and we

35
00:01:32,908 --> 00:01:35,108
Speaker 5: went through our winners in the first hour of the show.

36
00:01:35,148 --> 00:01:35,588
Speaker 2: Tonight.

37
00:01:35,588 --> 00:01:37,868
Speaker 5: We're going to get the tight ends and the defensive backs,

38
00:01:37,908 --> 00:01:39,508
Speaker 5: so you're going to get some of the best athletes

39
00:01:39,508 --> 00:01:41,068
Speaker 5: and the tight ends catching the ball. Then you're going

40
00:01:41,108 --> 00:01:42,908
Speaker 5: to get the speedsters and the defensive backs, and then

41
00:01:42,948 --> 00:01:43,548
Speaker 5: Saturday is.

42
00:01:43,548 --> 00:01:45,388
Speaker 2: Just a bonanza of offense.

43
00:01:45,548 --> 00:01:48,428
Speaker 5: It's quarterbacks, running backs, wide receivers, and then we ended

44
00:01:48,508 --> 00:01:50,628
Speaker 5: up with the big fellows, the offensive lineman on Sunday.

45
00:01:50,628 --> 00:01:53,108
Speaker 5: So my advice to anybody watching at home, put on

46
00:01:53,148 --> 00:01:55,068
Speaker 5: the NFL network, take that remote control, which I know

47
00:01:55,108 --> 00:01:56,828
Speaker 5: you still have, and I know you're streaming it as well,

48
00:01:56,908 --> 00:01:58,388
Speaker 5: and just throw it in the garbage and just leave

49
00:01:58,428 --> 00:01:59,868
Speaker 5: it on here till the rest of the week and

50
00:02:00,028 --> 00:02:02,028
Speaker 5: enjoy it because it's going to be draft bonanza and

51
00:02:02,068 --> 00:02:03,468
Speaker 5: these guys are all going to be balling out.

52
00:02:03,508 --> 00:02:05,468
Speaker 4: All right, Peter, you started it, I'm going to go

53
00:02:05,508 --> 00:02:07,948
Speaker 4: with the word bonanza. As it's time for three and

54
00:02:07,988 --> 00:02:10,428
Speaker 4: out on our show on GMFB right now, We're going

55
00:02:10,508 --> 00:02:13,228
Speaker 4: to start with, as Peter called it, the exciting action

56
00:02:13,628 --> 00:02:18,188
Speaker 4: on Saturday in Indianapolis, it's the quarterbacks, wide receiver running backscrow.

57
00:02:18,268 --> 00:02:21,388
Speaker 4: But Peter, let's start with that position. The cam Wards

58
00:02:21,468 --> 00:02:24,508
Speaker 4: of the group walking down the hallway, which quarterback do

59
00:02:24,588 --> 00:02:28,508
Speaker 4: you think can help themselves with their workout on Saturday

60
00:02:28,588 --> 00:02:29,828
Speaker 4: having it be top notch.

61
00:02:30,428 --> 00:02:33,508
Speaker 5: I think the coolest conversation I've been having here in

62
00:02:33,508 --> 00:02:36,828
Speaker 5: Indianapolis is Who's number three? So it's pretty much assumed

63
00:02:36,868 --> 00:02:39,428
Speaker 5: that cam Ward and Shador Sanders and you might want

64
00:02:39,428 --> 00:02:40,228
Speaker 5: to toggle those two.

65
00:02:40,268 --> 00:02:41,148
Speaker 2: Who's one? Who's two?

66
00:02:41,308 --> 00:02:43,188
Speaker 5: Are the top two quarterbacks and they've been that the

67
00:02:43,308 --> 00:02:46,708
Speaker 5: entire draft process. But who's number three? There's so many

68
00:02:46,748 --> 00:02:49,148
Speaker 5: different names, and one of them that I've been talking

69
00:02:49,148 --> 00:02:51,228
Speaker 5: about the entire week that I think is going to

70
00:02:51,308 --> 00:02:54,348
Speaker 5: have an excellent performance is Jackson Dart Out of ole

71
00:02:54,428 --> 00:02:58,068
Speaker 5: Miss Jackson darts Fen his first year at USC, then

72
00:02:58,108 --> 00:03:00,228
Speaker 5: transferred to ole Miss, where he was the starter for

73
00:03:00,308 --> 00:03:01,228
Speaker 5: three straight years.

74
00:03:02,028 --> 00:03:04,548
Speaker 2: He's got this great way about him where it's.

75
00:03:04,548 --> 00:03:07,348
Speaker 5: Not cocky, but it is also like he knows he's

76
00:03:07,388 --> 00:03:09,268
Speaker 5: the man, and I think that's been felt by a

77
00:03:09,308 --> 00:03:12,948
Speaker 5: lot of these teams. Loves ball, loves talking ball, and

78
00:03:12,988 --> 00:03:15,268
Speaker 5: they love the fact that he played so many games

79
00:03:15,268 --> 00:03:17,908
Speaker 5: in college and did so at the SEC and really

80
00:03:17,948 --> 00:03:19,588
Speaker 5: took ole Miss the past two years to two of

81
00:03:19,628 --> 00:03:22,548
Speaker 5: their best seasons they've had in decades. Now, does he

82
00:03:22,588 --> 00:03:25,388
Speaker 5: have the armstrend, does he have the speed, Does he

83
00:03:25,468 --> 00:03:26,428
Speaker 5: have the agility?

84
00:03:26,708 --> 00:03:27,508
Speaker 2: All that stuff is.

85
00:03:27,508 --> 00:03:29,108
Speaker 5: Why we're going to be working out and he is

86
00:03:29,188 --> 00:03:31,388
Speaker 5: going to go through the drills. So I'm excited to

87
00:03:31,388 --> 00:03:34,028
Speaker 5: see what Jackson Dark can do without Shador and without

88
00:03:34,068 --> 00:03:34,828
Speaker 5: Cam on the field.

89
00:03:34,908 --> 00:03:38,108
Speaker 2: Go own the day. I remember Justin Herbert doing just

90
00:03:38,148 --> 00:03:40,108
Speaker 2: that when Burrow and Tua.

91
00:03:39,908 --> 00:03:42,508
Speaker 5: We're not working out at this combine in twenty twenty,

92
00:03:42,708 --> 00:03:45,428
Speaker 5: Justin Herbert was by far the most impressive quarterback on

93
00:03:45,428 --> 00:03:47,468
Speaker 5: the field and he was the third quarterback taken.

94
00:03:47,828 --> 00:03:50,788
Speaker 2: Jackson Dark, go and own the day Saturday.

95
00:03:50,388 --> 00:03:52,668
Speaker 5: You have that opportunity go and do what we've done

96
00:03:52,668 --> 00:03:54,268
Speaker 5: the last two years at All Miss, which is just

97
00:03:54,348 --> 00:03:56,908
Speaker 5: play wonderful football and lead young men.

98
00:03:57,068 --> 00:03:58,428
Speaker 7: Yeah, I'm going with Jalen Millroe.

99
00:03:58,548 --> 00:04:02,228
Speaker 8: I think he has the most important performance this Saturday. Right,

100
00:04:02,228 --> 00:04:04,108
Speaker 8: one of the best athletes in this entire draft, and

101
00:04:04,148 --> 00:04:05,388
Speaker 8: I know he's going to test well, You're going to

102
00:04:05,388 --> 00:04:06,908
Speaker 8: see him un the forty. Well, that's just the type

103
00:04:06,908 --> 00:04:09,468
Speaker 8: of athlete he is. The three cone, the vertical, the

104
00:04:09,468 --> 00:04:11,948
Speaker 8: broad jump. But where he can make himself some money

105
00:04:11,988 --> 00:04:14,268
Speaker 8: and solidify himself as a top five quarterback in this

106
00:04:14,388 --> 00:04:17,188
Speaker 8: draft is the passing portion of the combine, right when

107
00:04:17,188 --> 00:04:19,948
Speaker 8: they go routes on air. He has an NFL level arm.

108
00:04:20,108 --> 00:04:22,428
Speaker 8: He makes NFL level throws on film. He has a

109
00:04:22,508 --> 00:04:25,108
Speaker 8: quick release too, but his footwork can get sloppy at times,

110
00:04:25,108 --> 00:04:27,028
Speaker 8: and that'll lead to eron throws. And when you do

111
00:04:27,148 --> 00:04:30,668
Speaker 8: that too many times, coaches or GM start worrying about, Okay, can.

112
00:04:30,508 --> 00:04:31,548
Speaker 7: This guy be consistent?

113
00:04:31,668 --> 00:04:33,548
Speaker 8: And one thing with Milroe that I think hurts them

114
00:04:33,868 --> 00:04:36,428
Speaker 8: is that he'll look at one receiver and if it's

115
00:04:36,428 --> 00:04:38,428
Speaker 8: not there, he'll try to take off and run too quickly. Right,

116
00:04:38,508 --> 00:04:40,428
Speaker 8: just trust your progression, show that you can be a

117
00:04:40,468 --> 00:04:42,988
Speaker 8: pocket passer and go through the progression and run the

118
00:04:43,028 --> 00:04:44,268
Speaker 8: offense sets in front of you. And the other thing

119
00:04:44,348 --> 00:04:46,428
Speaker 8: he does is he likes to see guys get open,

120
00:04:46,588 --> 00:04:48,868
Speaker 8: and that means he'll lock on one guy and wait

121
00:04:48,908 --> 00:04:50,668
Speaker 8: for them to get open instead of throwing them open.

122
00:04:50,708 --> 00:04:52,668
Speaker 7: And when you get to the NFL, you cannot do that.

123
00:04:52,788 --> 00:04:54,508
Speaker 8: I had to learn that the hard way my first

124
00:04:54,508 --> 00:04:56,468
Speaker 8: off season in Cleveland. If you're waiting for a guy

125
00:04:56,468 --> 00:04:57,868
Speaker 8: to get open and then you try to force it,

126
00:04:57,948 --> 00:04:59,628
Speaker 8: Joe Hayden is ready to pick six it and take

127
00:04:59,668 --> 00:05:01,428
Speaker 8: it to the house right, you get in trouble that way.

128
00:05:01,508 --> 00:05:02,908
Speaker 8: So you've got to be able to throw in rhythm.

129
00:05:03,028 --> 00:05:05,308
Speaker 8: He can show that this Saturday that he can go back,

130
00:05:05,348 --> 00:05:05,948
Speaker 8: take five.

131
00:05:05,748 --> 00:05:07,348
Speaker 7: Steps, one hitch and throw it to his spot.

132
00:05:07,388 --> 00:05:09,148
Speaker 8: And another thing as a quarterback, when it comes to

133
00:05:09,148 --> 00:05:11,188
Speaker 8: the combine, you are taught leading up to this is

134
00:05:11,228 --> 00:05:13,068
Speaker 8: one rep you're gonna throw, You're gonna go to a

135
00:05:13,108 --> 00:05:14,628
Speaker 8: guy that throws, or you're gonna throw to a guy

136
00:05:14,628 --> 00:05:16,228
Speaker 8: that runs a four to three. And then the next

137
00:05:16,308 --> 00:05:17,748
Speaker 8: rep you're gonna throw a guy that might run a.

138
00:05:17,748 --> 00:05:19,188
Speaker 7: Four to seven or a four to eight.

139
00:05:19,348 --> 00:05:21,228
Speaker 8: So you need to do your job and that's put

140
00:05:21,228 --> 00:05:22,948
Speaker 8: the ball where it needs to be in the right time.

141
00:05:22,948 --> 00:05:24,108
Speaker 8: And if no Roe can go out and do that

142
00:05:24,228 --> 00:05:25,948
Speaker 8: and show that he can be a true pocket passer,

143
00:05:25,988 --> 00:05:28,388
Speaker 8: I think he skyrockets up a draft board comes Saturday.

144
00:05:28,468 --> 00:05:31,108
Speaker 9: I'm following me the same exact narrative that you have, Cody,

145
00:05:31,148 --> 00:05:33,628
Speaker 9: because the guy that I'm looking at, obviously is Riley Leonard,

146
00:05:33,828 --> 00:05:36,588
Speaker 9: Notre Dame guy. Everything that Cody just said, copy and

147
00:05:36,588 --> 00:05:38,668
Speaker 9: paste that and put it with Brighty Leonard because he's

148
00:05:38,708 --> 00:05:42,748
Speaker 9: the exact same quarterback props back as Jalen Mirroll. Now

149
00:05:42,748 --> 00:05:44,908
Speaker 9: not as explosive with the run game, but he can run.

150
00:05:44,948 --> 00:05:47,308
Speaker 9: You saw it all year for the Fighting Irish. His

151
00:05:47,388 --> 00:05:51,468
Speaker 9: ability to scramble, extend plays, use his legs in crucial

152
00:05:51,548 --> 00:05:54,348
Speaker 9: situations in the game to help this team win games.

153
00:05:54,388 --> 00:05:56,668
Speaker 9: I know people talk about the National Championship and you

154
00:05:56,708 --> 00:05:58,468
Speaker 9: know he had a rough game. Well, he had a

155
00:05:58,548 --> 00:06:00,748
Speaker 9: rough half in the first half. Then he comes out

156
00:06:00,748 --> 00:06:03,108
Speaker 9: in the second half and he starts to respond and

157
00:06:03,228 --> 00:06:05,708
Speaker 9: he starts to make those plays. So for me, if

158
00:06:05,748 --> 00:06:08,828
Speaker 9: I'm a general manager, it shows a guy, a quarterback,

159
00:06:08,868 --> 00:06:11,588
Speaker 9: a leader that can respond to adversity that he's going

160
00:06:11,628 --> 00:06:13,468
Speaker 9: to go make the corrections at halftime and come out

161
00:06:13,508 --> 00:06:16,068
Speaker 9: and play better ball. I look at what he's been

162
00:06:16,108 --> 00:06:19,828
Speaker 9: doing this offseason. He's been training in Mobile, Alabama with

163
00:06:19,948 --> 00:06:23,428
Speaker 9: quarterback Country Supposedly there he has a scary arm right now.

164
00:06:23,508 --> 00:06:27,148
Speaker 9: So I think, just like how Cody said, the throwing aspect,

165
00:06:27,148 --> 00:06:29,908
Speaker 9: the throwing portion of this combine is going to be

166
00:06:29,948 --> 00:06:33,068
Speaker 9: really good for Riley Leonard to see how consistent he

167
00:06:33,108 --> 00:06:35,428
Speaker 9: can be with his accuracies, because throughout the year he's

168
00:06:35,468 --> 00:06:37,908
Speaker 9: been a little inconsistent. Got better later in the year,

169
00:06:37,948 --> 00:06:40,748
Speaker 9: But I think the throwing portion is going to be

170
00:06:40,748 --> 00:06:42,588
Speaker 9: really big for him because he's going to smash in

171
00:06:42,668 --> 00:06:44,068
Speaker 9: numbers as far as all the measurables.

172
00:06:44,148 --> 00:06:46,628
Speaker 4: One of the important dynamics at the combine is that.

173
00:06:46,548 --> 00:06:48,948
Speaker 3: The workout portion is such a fish bowl.

174
00:06:48,988 --> 00:06:50,988
Speaker 4: And Peter, I'm hoping you can speak to this that

175
00:06:51,028 --> 00:06:53,308
Speaker 4: when those guys walk out on the field, they are

176
00:06:53,388 --> 00:06:58,588
Speaker 4: being watched by coordinators, by coaches, by scouts, anyone that

177
00:06:58,628 --> 00:07:01,068
Speaker 4: wants to see how they interact with every single person,

178
00:07:01,148 --> 00:07:03,828
Speaker 4: the guy that resets the broad jump, cones, anything like that.

179
00:07:03,908 --> 00:07:04,308
Speaker 3: There was a.

180
00:07:04,228 --> 00:07:06,748
Speaker 4: Lot of heat last year on Caleb Williams, you know,

181
00:07:06,868 --> 00:07:10,188
Speaker 4: not sharing his medicals, participating in certain interviews and then

182
00:07:10,188 --> 00:07:12,148
Speaker 4: not working on the field, but then he received a

183
00:07:12,188 --> 00:07:14,908
Speaker 4: glowing review for really being one of the most engaged

184
00:07:14,988 --> 00:07:17,948
Speaker 4: leaders on the field during the Scout and Combine weekend.

185
00:07:18,268 --> 00:07:21,068
Speaker 4: Is there anybody that this is happening to this year, Peter,

186
00:07:21,188 --> 00:07:23,148
Speaker 4: that we want to watch out for on Saturday, A

187
00:07:23,228 --> 00:07:26,428
Speaker 4: quarterback that might not be participating, but their body language

188
00:07:26,428 --> 00:07:27,388
Speaker 4: is really being studied.

189
00:07:27,628 --> 00:07:28,948
Speaker 2: Well, I think that's a great point.

190
00:07:29,028 --> 00:07:31,388
Speaker 5: You can do a lot even just being here, and

191
00:07:31,548 --> 00:07:33,508
Speaker 5: that was all Caleb Williams, he was the last person

192
00:07:33,548 --> 00:07:35,748
Speaker 5: to leave, and I remember him thanking the stadium workers.

193
00:07:35,748 --> 00:07:38,108
Speaker 5: Whether you thought that was for a performance art or not,

194
00:07:38,668 --> 00:07:41,268
Speaker 5: it was noticed that he was there and was cheering

195
00:07:41,268 --> 00:07:42,948
Speaker 5: on the other quarterbacks and was the last guy to

196
00:07:43,028 --> 00:07:45,028
Speaker 5: leave the field. I want to see Shador Sanders and

197
00:07:45,068 --> 00:07:47,148
Speaker 5: cam Ward if they ought not to work out, I

198
00:07:47,228 --> 00:07:49,508
Speaker 5: want to see how they interact with the other quarterbacks

199
00:07:49,788 --> 00:07:52,148
Speaker 5: and also how they interact with all the different people

200
00:07:52,188 --> 00:07:53,908
Speaker 5: who are working in the events. You can't just be

201
00:07:53,988 --> 00:07:56,508
Speaker 5: here checking your phone. People notice that stuff. So whether

202
00:07:56,548 --> 00:07:58,788
Speaker 5: you think it's an act or not, be present the

203
00:07:58,948 --> 00:08:02,268
Speaker 5: entire day and definitely definitely make sure that you go

204
00:08:02,308 --> 00:08:03,988
Speaker 5: out of your way to pump up the other quarterbacks

205
00:08:04,028 --> 00:08:04,348
Speaker 5: in the grip.

206
00:08:04,588 --> 00:08:07,308
Speaker 4: All right, so that group is working out on Saturday. Quarterbacks,

207
00:08:07,308 --> 00:08:10,748
Speaker 4: wide receivers, running backs. Let's move to some topics within

208
00:08:10,788 --> 00:08:14,028
Speaker 4: the NFL. Time for second down. Peter, we talked at

209
00:08:14,108 --> 00:08:18,588
Speaker 4: nauseam yesterday about the Matthew Stafford situation. It drags on

210
00:08:18,708 --> 00:08:21,748
Speaker 4: to another day. Is this the type of deal whereas

211
00:08:21,868 --> 00:08:22,868
Speaker 4: the thing goes.

212
00:08:22,668 --> 00:08:26,948
Speaker 3: On longer and longer, that means it's less likely to happen?

213
00:08:27,508 --> 00:08:29,908
Speaker 4: Or are the Rams just taking their sweet time because

214
00:08:29,908 --> 00:08:31,828
Speaker 4: they're not busy at the Combine because they are one

215
00:08:31,828 --> 00:08:33,148
Speaker 4: team that never attends.

216
00:08:34,068 --> 00:08:36,508
Speaker 5: Yeah, okay, so the question is it more likely Matthew

217
00:08:36,508 --> 00:08:38,708
Speaker 5: Stafford stays with the Rams the longer this plays out.

218
00:08:38,748 --> 00:08:40,628
Speaker 5: The truth of the matter is the league year starts

219
00:08:40,668 --> 00:08:43,548
Speaker 5: in March twelfth. Can't even make a trade to March twelfth.

220
00:08:43,548 --> 00:08:46,148
Speaker 5: So the reason everybody's talking about it is because it's

221
00:08:46,148 --> 00:08:47,868
Speaker 5: the buzz here at the Combine and all the teams

222
00:08:47,868 --> 00:08:49,388
Speaker 5: are here, and the Raiders are here and the Giants.

223
00:08:49,388 --> 00:08:51,468
Speaker 2: I guess who's not here. The Rams aren't here. The

224
00:08:51,548 --> 00:08:53,628
Speaker 2: Rams are out in LA and less needs in LA.

225
00:08:53,708 --> 00:08:55,668
Speaker 2: And of course you've got Sean McVay out in LA

226
00:08:55,708 --> 00:08:57,508
Speaker 2: and so need is Matthew Stafford. Here.

227
00:08:57,668 --> 00:08:59,788
Speaker 5: Here's my latest on everything that's going on there. As

228
00:08:59,828 --> 00:09:02,028
Speaker 5: I talk to all sides of this. There have been

229
00:09:02,068 --> 00:09:04,828
Speaker 5: a lot of conversations in the last twenty four hours

230
00:09:04,868 --> 00:09:08,468
Speaker 5: between Sean McVay and Matthew Stafford directly. There is expected

231
00:09:08,508 --> 00:09:11,948
Speaker 5: to be another conversation today. I would expect.

232
00:09:11,948 --> 00:09:14,748
Speaker 2: The more conversations they have, and it's the two of.

233
00:09:14,708 --> 00:09:18,748
Speaker 5: Them, it's not agent talking to it's the quarterback and

234
00:09:18,788 --> 00:09:20,348
Speaker 5: the coach. And the more that they can talk and

235
00:09:20,348 --> 00:09:22,908
Speaker 5: get on the same ground and kind of finally, the

236
00:09:22,908 --> 00:09:25,588
Speaker 5: better chance it is that Matthew Stafford returns to the

237
00:09:25,748 --> 00:09:26,348
Speaker 5: La Rams.

238
00:09:26,388 --> 00:09:28,628
Speaker 2: I will note this, the money might be.

239
00:09:28,628 --> 00:09:31,828
Speaker 5: Different if he goes to the Raiders, goes to the Giants,

240
00:09:31,908 --> 00:09:33,708
Speaker 5: or goes to a team X than it would be

241
00:09:33,788 --> 00:09:36,348
Speaker 5: with the Rams. It's almost as if he might have

242
00:09:36,428 --> 00:09:37,908
Speaker 5: to end up swallowing it.

243
00:09:37,868 --> 00:09:39,588
Speaker 2: And taking for a little bit less to come back

244
00:09:39,588 --> 00:09:40,588
Speaker 2: with the Rams.

245
00:09:40,428 --> 00:09:43,468
Speaker 5: Other than uprooting his entire life and starting anew and

246
00:09:43,508 --> 00:09:45,348
Speaker 5: trying to start at thirty seven with a team that

247
00:09:45,388 --> 00:09:47,228
Speaker 5: hasn't been to the playoffs in the last couple of years.

248
00:09:47,228 --> 00:09:49,868
Speaker 5: So I would think the longer this goes on, yeah,

249
00:09:49,868 --> 00:09:51,868
Speaker 5: I think it actually helps the RAMS, But I also

250
00:09:51,908 --> 00:09:53,548
Speaker 5: think the next forty eight hours are going to be

251
00:09:53,628 --> 00:09:54,468
Speaker 5: very important as far.

252
00:09:54,348 --> 00:09:56,588
Speaker 2: As communication, coming to terms.

253
00:09:56,388 --> 00:09:58,028
Speaker 5: And seeing whether these guys want to run it back

254
00:09:58,028 --> 00:09:58,588
Speaker 5: one more year.

255
00:09:58,668 --> 00:10:01,228
Speaker 9: Yes, Trigs, I would talk about communication. It makes sense

256
00:10:01,268 --> 00:10:04,708
Speaker 9: why that communication between Matt Stafford and Sean mcvac they

257
00:10:04,988 --> 00:10:07,788
Speaker 9: has been more consistent than the other teams because right

258
00:10:07,788 --> 00:10:10,908
Speaker 9: now we're talking about the combine, there's thirty thirty one

259
00:10:10,988 --> 00:10:13,428
Speaker 9: other teams that are trying to analyze the talent that

260
00:10:14,108 --> 00:10:16,028
Speaker 9: is coming into the NFL in the twenty twenty five

261
00:10:16,108 --> 00:10:18,908
Speaker 9: NFL Draft, and so I'm not sure if all that

262
00:10:18,948 --> 00:10:22,308
Speaker 9: attention can be paid solely on Matt Stafford for these

263
00:10:22,308 --> 00:10:24,948
Speaker 9: other teams. So it's really good for the RAMS and

264
00:10:25,268 --> 00:10:28,588
Speaker 9: their chances of resigning Matt Stafford that Sean McVay and

265
00:10:28,628 --> 00:10:32,108
Speaker 9: the Rams aren't at in Indianapolis at the combine, but

266
00:10:32,188 --> 00:10:34,868
Speaker 9: that they have the personal relationship and they have the

267
00:10:34,948 --> 00:10:37,668
Speaker 9: time now to have those one to one conversations, those

268
00:10:37,668 --> 00:10:40,468
Speaker 9: personal conversations. Obviously, he's been there for a few years,

269
00:10:40,468 --> 00:10:42,468
Speaker 9: so they know him very well, and I'm sure they

270
00:10:42,508 --> 00:10:44,348
Speaker 9: would like to make a deal done. So I do

271
00:10:44,428 --> 00:10:46,908
Speaker 9: agree with you, Peter, that the longer disdain drags out,

272
00:10:46,908 --> 00:10:50,348
Speaker 9: and the more conversations that the Rams can have with

273
00:10:50,388 --> 00:10:54,268
Speaker 9: matt Stafford without any distractions distructions of the other thirty

274
00:10:54,308 --> 00:10:56,988
Speaker 9: one teams, I think the chances of him stay staying

275
00:10:56,988 --> 00:10:57,908
Speaker 9: in LA increases.

276
00:10:58,188 --> 00:11:00,108
Speaker 7: Yeah, I e goo both of that. I just I

277
00:11:00,148 --> 00:11:00,788
Speaker 7: do believe though.

278
00:11:00,828 --> 00:11:02,428
Speaker 8: I think the sooner that the Rams can get this

279
00:11:02,508 --> 00:11:04,748
Speaker 8: deal done, the quicker they can move on right and

280
00:11:04,748 --> 00:11:06,988
Speaker 8: focus on other areas of their roster. They do have

281
00:11:07,108 --> 00:11:09,588
Speaker 8: a young talented roster, one of the most young talented

282
00:11:09,628 --> 00:11:11,348
Speaker 8: rosters in the NFL right now. And we saw what

283
00:11:11,388 --> 00:11:13,548
Speaker 8: Matthew Stafford did with them a year ago, went all

284
00:11:13,588 --> 00:11:14,668
Speaker 8: the way to the divisional round.

285
00:11:14,788 --> 00:11:15,828
Speaker 7: And I like what Peter said too.

286
00:11:15,868 --> 00:11:18,348
Speaker 8: If you start over at thirty seven, if I'm Matthew Stafford,

287
00:11:18,468 --> 00:11:19,708
Speaker 8: you don't know what that's going to look like. And

288
00:11:19,708 --> 00:11:21,668
Speaker 8: the Raiders may come in, who are second in calorie

289
00:11:21,948 --> 00:11:24,348
Speaker 8: and salary cap space right now, they could come in

290
00:11:24,388 --> 00:11:26,028
Speaker 8: and operate a ton of money. Tim, you have Pete

291
00:11:26,028 --> 00:11:27,788
Speaker 8: Carroll who comes in right if he wants to come in.

292
00:11:27,788 --> 00:11:29,388
Speaker 8: He's hungry, he wants to go out there and win.

293
00:11:29,548 --> 00:11:31,028
Speaker 8: They can come in and throw a lot of money

294
00:11:31,028 --> 00:11:31,388
Speaker 8: at him.

295
00:11:31,508 --> 00:11:32,388
Speaker 7: But is that in his.

296
00:11:32,388 --> 00:11:34,028
Speaker 8: Best interest to go over there if he wants to

297
00:11:34,068 --> 00:11:35,028
Speaker 8: win another Super Bowl?

298
00:11:35,068 --> 00:11:36,388
Speaker 7: I think the answer is you stay.

299
00:11:36,228 --> 00:11:37,828
Speaker 8: With the Rams, You try to get the same figured

300
00:11:37,828 --> 00:11:39,748
Speaker 8: out as quickly as possible, and then you help out

301
00:11:39,748 --> 00:11:41,788
Speaker 8: this young roster by going and buying some veterans and

302
00:11:41,788 --> 00:11:43,628
Speaker 8: some better depth and run it back in twenty twenty five.

303
00:11:44,308 --> 00:11:47,588
Speaker 5: I also think of it from a public relations standpoint here,

304
00:11:47,628 --> 00:11:50,828
Speaker 5: where Stafford will be taking less with the Rams and

305
00:11:50,908 --> 00:11:53,308
Speaker 5: he would be making with the Raiders or the Giants.

306
00:11:53,308 --> 00:11:55,828
Speaker 5: So if any RAMS fan was thinking that he was greedy,

307
00:11:56,028 --> 00:11:57,868
Speaker 5: like if he does come back, it's going to be

308
00:11:57,868 --> 00:12:00,388
Speaker 5: a restructured deal. They'll figure it out, but it won't

309
00:12:00,388 --> 00:12:03,028
Speaker 5: be the numbers that they would have gotten on the open.

310
00:12:02,788 --> 00:12:05,268
Speaker 2: Market, and it's not even an open market. That's the thing.

311
00:12:05,308 --> 00:12:07,988
Speaker 5: He is under contract with the Rams, So Jimmy Sext

312
00:12:08,028 --> 00:12:10,308
Speaker 5: and his agent is able to talk to these teams,

313
00:12:10,308 --> 00:12:12,948
Speaker 5: but Stafford directly can't go and meet with the Giants.

314
00:12:12,988 --> 00:12:15,948
Speaker 5: Stafford directly can't technically go meet with the Raiders. We

315
00:12:16,028 --> 00:12:18,428
Speaker 5: know about their Montana interaction with Brady, but that wasn't

316
00:12:18,468 --> 00:12:20,748
Speaker 5: a full meeting with Pete Carroll and with Chip Kelly,

317
00:12:20,788 --> 00:12:23,308
Speaker 5: like he would have to know exactly what he's going into.

318
00:12:23,668 --> 00:12:26,428
Speaker 5: And I'll add this other part here. Family stuff matters.

319
00:12:26,428 --> 00:12:28,868
Speaker 5: For Stafford a father of four young girls, they are

320
00:12:28,988 --> 00:12:31,228
Speaker 5: very happy in Los Angeles. You'd like to think they

321
00:12:31,268 --> 00:12:33,308
Speaker 5: could make this thing work. And if you're the Rams,

322
00:12:33,468 --> 00:12:35,228
Speaker 5: do you up the money just a little bit? Do

323
00:12:35,268 --> 00:12:37,428
Speaker 5: you figure it out, keep your guy happy and let's

324
00:12:37,468 --> 00:12:38,988
Speaker 5: run it back one more year, or do you say

325
00:12:39,108 --> 00:12:40,828
Speaker 5: let's tear it down now where his stock would be

326
00:12:40,828 --> 00:12:42,428
Speaker 5: at his all time high and we can actually get

327
00:12:42,468 --> 00:12:44,428
Speaker 5: some draft picks and pay some of the young guys

328
00:12:44,468 --> 00:12:45,188
Speaker 5: in future years.

329
00:12:45,348 --> 00:12:48,468
Speaker 4: Yeah, Between bringing a Lombardi to LA and the rams

330
00:12:48,508 --> 00:12:51,588
Speaker 4: involvement and support of the community with the LA fires

331
00:12:51,588 --> 00:12:54,548
Speaker 4: and Stafford's the Stafford family direct involvement in that, you

332
00:12:54,588 --> 00:12:56,828
Speaker 4: can imagine the ties that they now feel to this

333
00:12:56,948 --> 00:12:58,988
Speaker 4: part of the country. And if it does end up

334
00:12:59,028 --> 00:13:00,788
Speaker 4: this way that Stafford runs it back, it should be

335
00:13:00,828 --> 00:13:03,468
Speaker 4: to no surprise for anybody. All Right, They're down back

336
00:13:03,508 --> 00:13:06,068
Speaker 4: to the combine to Prospects twenty twenty four, Heids and

337
00:13:06,108 --> 00:13:09,268
Speaker 4: trophy winterer Travis Hunter was asked Thursday about playing both

338
00:13:09,308 --> 00:13:13,268
Speaker 4: offense and defense full time in the NFL, and here.

339
00:13:13,188 --> 00:13:13,788
Speaker 3: Was his answer.

340
00:13:16,428 --> 00:13:19,068
Speaker 10: They say, everybody, nobody has ever done it for real

341
00:13:19,308 --> 00:13:21,068
Speaker 10: the way I do it. But I tell him that

342
00:13:21,348 --> 00:13:23,388
Speaker 10: I'm just different. I'm a different person. But I feel

343
00:13:23,388 --> 00:13:25,068
Speaker 10: like I'll put my body through a lot. I do

344
00:13:25,148 --> 00:13:27,708
Speaker 10: a lot of treatment. People that get to see that

345
00:13:27,788 --> 00:13:29,748
Speaker 10: part what I do for my body to make sure

346
00:13:29,748 --> 00:13:31,668
Speaker 10: I'm one hundred percent in each game. But I feel

347
00:13:31,668 --> 00:13:33,468
Speaker 10: I can do it because nobody have done it, and

348
00:13:33,748 --> 00:13:35,388
Speaker 10: I know I could do I did at college level,

349
00:13:35,428 --> 00:13:37,828
Speaker 10: which the game is. You know, we really get we

350
00:13:37,908 --> 00:13:40,588
Speaker 10: rarely get breaks in It's a lot more breaks in

351
00:13:40,588 --> 00:13:42,428
Speaker 10: the NFL, all right.

352
00:13:42,788 --> 00:13:43,668
Speaker 3: You know it's different.

353
00:13:43,868 --> 00:13:47,668
Speaker 4: This media scrum around Travis Hunter. This is the look

354
00:13:47,708 --> 00:13:50,788
Speaker 4: from Stacy Dale's. This is what this young man is

355
00:13:50,948 --> 00:13:53,508
Speaker 4: answering and preparing for, because what he's.

356
00:13:53,388 --> 00:13:55,668
Speaker 3: Trying to accomplish is an anomaly.

357
00:13:55,748 --> 00:13:58,788
Speaker 4: Peter, what do you make of Travis Hunter's comments, Whether

358
00:13:58,908 --> 00:14:00,548
Speaker 4: or not you agree with that in the NFL you

359
00:14:00,628 --> 00:14:02,828
Speaker 4: get more breaks or not. What do you make of

360
00:14:02,908 --> 00:14:05,628
Speaker 4: Travis Hunter and his approach trying to play two way

361
00:14:05,628 --> 00:14:06,668
Speaker 4: full time in the NFL.

362
00:14:07,468 --> 00:14:11,228
Speaker 5: Travis Hunter averaged one hundred and twelve snaps a game,

363
00:14:11,468 --> 00:14:14,268
Speaker 5: not last year, the last two years playing in major

364
00:14:14,308 --> 00:14:17,028
Speaker 5: college football at Colorado, and he won a Heisman Trophy.

365
00:14:17,308 --> 00:14:19,228
Speaker 5: And as he said, just because it's never been done

366
00:14:19,268 --> 00:14:21,028
Speaker 5: doesn't mean I can't. I think Travis Hunter is a

367
00:14:21,068 --> 00:14:23,108
Speaker 5: top five pick. I might go as far as saying

368
00:14:23,148 --> 00:14:24,748
Speaker 5: Travis Hunter is a top three pick.

369
00:14:25,468 --> 00:14:28,628
Speaker 2: That is how good he's viewed. And we've heard different opinions.

370
00:14:28,948 --> 00:14:32,148
Speaker 5: You heard Brian Callahan here at the combine say that

371
00:14:32,188 --> 00:14:35,028
Speaker 5: you know he's a corner, and then you heard Andrew Berry,

372
00:14:35,028 --> 00:14:36,828
Speaker 5: the GM of the Browns who has the second pick,

373
00:14:36,948 --> 00:14:39,868
Speaker 5: saying he's always also a wide receiver, like you can

374
00:14:39,948 --> 00:14:41,948
Speaker 5: use him in both places. I like the fact that

375
00:14:41,988 --> 00:14:44,468
Speaker 5: he's confident in his abilities and wants to be the

376
00:14:44,508 --> 00:14:47,228
Speaker 5: first to ever do it. I work with Charles Woodson

377
00:14:47,268 --> 00:14:50,748
Speaker 5: on the weekends for Fox. Charles Woodson obviously had his

378
00:14:50,828 --> 00:14:55,628
Speaker 5: offensive snaps at Michigan, won a Heisman as a corner,

379
00:14:55,908 --> 00:14:58,348
Speaker 5: got to the NFL, and was used very sparingly in

380
00:14:58,428 --> 00:15:02,508
Speaker 5: anything but cornerback. I think Travis Hunter looks at himself differently,

381
00:15:02,788 --> 00:15:04,988
Speaker 5: and I wonder if there's a head coach who says

382
00:15:04,988 --> 00:15:07,228
Speaker 5: if I am taking a defensive back or a wide

383
00:15:07,268 --> 00:15:09,868
Speaker 5: receiver in the top three, is it not worth it

384
00:15:09,908 --> 00:15:11,908
Speaker 5: to at least try to see if we can get

385
00:15:11,948 --> 00:15:15,028
Speaker 5: this guy as much action as we can on the field. Remember,

386
00:15:15,308 --> 00:15:17,908
Speaker 5: corners and wideouts, they don't go first overall.

387
00:15:18,028 --> 00:15:20,588
Speaker 2: Keith Shawn went first overall. That was in ninety six.

388
00:15:21,028 --> 00:15:23,148
Speaker 5: It's the last time we've seen a wide receiver go

389
00:15:23,188 --> 00:15:26,628
Speaker 5: first overall. We've never seen a corner go first overall,

390
00:15:26,708 --> 00:15:28,308
Speaker 5: not that I can recall. I'm sure there might have

391
00:15:28,348 --> 00:15:30,548
Speaker 5: been someone in the fifties of the sixties, But in

392
00:15:30,628 --> 00:15:33,068
Speaker 5: recent years, you've seen a couple of corners go two.

393
00:15:33,388 --> 00:15:36,308
Speaker 5: You've seen Jeff Akuda go three. You see Stingley go

394
00:15:36,428 --> 00:15:38,468
Speaker 5: three from the Texans. But to go one or two,

395
00:15:38,508 --> 00:15:40,268
Speaker 5: that's so high. I would love it if he was

396
00:15:40,268 --> 00:15:41,828
Speaker 5: the first one to go both. And I like the

397
00:15:41,908 --> 00:15:44,468
Speaker 5: fact that he's confident that he can. Let the coaches

398
00:15:44,508 --> 00:15:46,148
Speaker 5: tell you can't. Don't come in here and say, look,

399
00:15:46,188 --> 00:15:47,988
Speaker 5: I'm only going to be playing this position. Don't be

400
00:15:48,028 --> 00:15:50,948
Speaker 5: making any demands. Go in there and compete at every position.

401
00:15:51,028 --> 00:15:53,188
Speaker 5: I would love to see him compete at both sides.

402
00:15:53,268 --> 00:15:55,028
Speaker 2: In the drills. We'll see if we get that tonight

403
00:15:55,068 --> 00:15:56,788
Speaker 2: and on Saturday.

404
00:15:56,668 --> 00:15:59,388
Speaker 9: Strikes and narrative has been about the physicality of it,

405
00:15:59,508 --> 00:16:03,308
Speaker 9: the snapcount, his treatment, his body's ready for this. My

406
00:16:03,548 --> 00:16:06,948
Speaker 9: argument with with Travis is this, The difference between college

407
00:16:06,948 --> 00:16:09,388
Speaker 9: and the NFL is mental. That's the mental part. So

408
00:16:09,588 --> 00:16:12,628
Speaker 9: right now, in college, this is the playbook right here,

409
00:16:12,708 --> 00:16:15,388
Speaker 9: that's how big it is. In the NFL, it looks

410
00:16:15,468 --> 00:16:18,428
Speaker 9: like this. And if you're gonna play both ways, it's

411
00:16:18,468 --> 00:16:21,948
Speaker 9: gonna look like this. So for me, if I'm Travis Hunter,

412
00:16:21,988 --> 00:16:24,468
Speaker 9: it's I'd rather limit it to one. Let me matter one.

413
00:16:24,988 --> 00:16:26,908
Speaker 9: I'm not against Travis playing both ways.

414
00:16:26,948 --> 00:16:29,188
Speaker 7: I am not. What I am against is.

415
00:16:29,068 --> 00:16:33,548
Speaker 9: As a rookie who's transitioning from college where the place

416
00:16:33,748 --> 00:16:36,508
Speaker 9: they aren't as elaborate, they aren't there, there aren't as

417
00:16:36,628 --> 00:16:38,668
Speaker 9: many and then you're going to go into the NFL

418
00:16:38,748 --> 00:16:41,308
Speaker 9: game where you're going to have a playbook that is

419
00:16:41,348 --> 00:16:44,028
Speaker 9: as thick as a Harry Potter series and you're gonna

420
00:16:44,068 --> 00:16:46,068
Speaker 9: have to memorize that, and then you're gonna have to

421
00:16:46,068 --> 00:16:47,548
Speaker 9: memorize the opposite.

422
00:16:47,148 --> 00:16:47,788
Speaker 7: Side of the ball.

423
00:16:47,948 --> 00:16:49,748
Speaker 9: And oh, by the way, if you do play ride

424
00:16:49,788 --> 00:16:53,348
Speaker 9: receiver in the NFL game, you have to play multiple

425
00:16:53,388 --> 00:16:56,348
Speaker 9: positions in wide receiver, you can't just play Z receiver,

426
00:16:56,588 --> 00:16:58,108
Speaker 9: X receiver. You got to play them all. You gotta

427
00:16:58,148 --> 00:17:01,188
Speaker 9: play the slot. If you can't, a defense is going

428
00:17:01,268 --> 00:17:03,628
Speaker 9: to know those tendencies. Oh he only lines up here,

429
00:17:04,028 --> 00:17:06,988
Speaker 9: he only runs these routes, then that production doesn't really

430
00:17:07,028 --> 00:17:10,428
Speaker 9: look the same. So for Travis, play one master one

431
00:17:10,948 --> 00:17:13,148
Speaker 9: and then go throughout the rest and try them out.

432
00:17:13,188 --> 00:17:15,828
Speaker 9: But I think if you can limit it to one playbook,

433
00:17:15,868 --> 00:17:16,908
Speaker 9: I think you should be fine.

434
00:17:16,988 --> 00:17:17,268
Speaker 7: Yeah.

435
00:17:17,308 --> 00:17:19,508
Speaker 8: I have no doubt that Travis Hunter can play both

436
00:17:19,508 --> 00:17:20,908
Speaker 8: sides of the ball in the NFL.

437
00:17:20,908 --> 00:17:22,708
Speaker 7: It's just the question is to what extent.

438
00:17:22,828 --> 00:17:24,588
Speaker 8: Like Manti said, I think when it comes down to it,

439
00:17:24,588 --> 00:17:26,588
Speaker 8: he's gonna have to pick a position, whether it's play

440
00:17:26,588 --> 00:17:29,468
Speaker 8: offense and have some packages on defense or play corner

441
00:17:29,508 --> 00:17:31,748
Speaker 8: and then come in for some packages on offense. But

442
00:17:31,788 --> 00:17:33,428
Speaker 8: people said he couldn't do it in college, right, They

443
00:17:33,428 --> 00:17:36,668
Speaker 8: said it wasn't sustainable, that they question the durability that

444
00:17:36,748 --> 00:17:38,268
Speaker 8: he would have, And he went out there and proved

445
00:17:38,308 --> 00:17:39,628
Speaker 8: them wrong. And all he did they do that, he

446
00:17:39,628 --> 00:17:41,548
Speaker 8: did it at the highest level and one a Heisman Trophy.

447
00:17:41,628 --> 00:17:43,428
Speaker 8: So I'm not going to sit here and doubt him.

448
00:17:43,428 --> 00:17:45,788
Speaker 8: But I will say this, It frustrated me a little

449
00:17:45,788 --> 00:17:48,708
Speaker 8: bit was when Travis Hunter came out and said, you know,

450
00:17:48,748 --> 00:17:50,268
Speaker 8: I want to play one hundred percent of the snap.

451
00:17:50,308 --> 00:17:53,108
Speaker 8: So a lot of people looked at as arrogant, as cocky.

452
00:17:53,348 --> 00:17:55,828
Speaker 8: Well he'll learn, like he doesn't understand. I saw it

453
00:17:55,868 --> 00:17:58,068
Speaker 8: as someone that's a competitor and that's willing to do

454
00:17:58,148 --> 00:18:00,188
Speaker 8: whatever it takes to win football games. And he's going

455
00:18:00,228 --> 00:18:03,028
Speaker 8: to go to a organization and tell the coach, Look,

456
00:18:03,068 --> 00:18:04,188
Speaker 8: if I need to play one hundred percent of the

457
00:18:04,188 --> 00:18:06,188
Speaker 8: snap on both sides of the football, I'm willing to

458
00:18:06,188 --> 00:18:07,828
Speaker 8: do that. If I have to play fifty percent of

459
00:18:07,828 --> 00:18:09,588
Speaker 8: the snap, I'm willing to do that as well. So

460
00:18:09,588 --> 00:18:11,028
Speaker 8: when I look at Travis Hunter, I just see a

461
00:18:11,068 --> 00:18:13,548
Speaker 8: competitor and a kid that wants to win, and someone

462
00:18:13,588 --> 00:18:15,788
Speaker 8: that enjoys playing the game of football on both sides

463
00:18:15,788 --> 00:18:16,948
Speaker 8: of the ball. And I've said it before and I'll

464
00:18:16,948 --> 00:18:19,428
Speaker 8: say it again. If you draft Travis Hunter, you are

465
00:18:19,468 --> 00:18:21,548
Speaker 8: getting two players for the price of one. He is

466
00:18:21,588 --> 00:18:24,788
Speaker 8: that valuable and you're immediately making your team better come April.

467
00:18:24,988 --> 00:18:28,788
Speaker 4: All right, I'm going to generalize grossly here because I'm

468
00:18:28,788 --> 00:18:31,308
Speaker 4: not trying to shame any guy that went up against

469
00:18:31,348 --> 00:18:33,708
Speaker 4: Travis Hunter when he played in college. But there were

470
00:18:33,748 --> 00:18:36,548
Speaker 4: some highlights I just watched there where the move that

471
00:18:36,628 --> 00:18:38,548
Speaker 4: Travis Hunter had to make off the line as a

472
00:18:38,548 --> 00:18:41,868
Speaker 4: wide receiver was about ten percent of the effort that

473
00:18:41,908 --> 00:18:44,228
Speaker 4: he is going to have to do to beat a

474
00:18:44,348 --> 00:18:47,748
Speaker 4: cornerback in the NFL, these guys are the best of

475
00:18:47,828 --> 00:18:51,308
Speaker 4: the best at their position. If this young man wants

476
00:18:51,348 --> 00:18:54,508
Speaker 4: to go and compete on both sides, you think you

477
00:18:54,548 --> 00:18:56,628
Speaker 4: were dog tired at the end of a college ruble game.

478
00:18:56,668 --> 00:19:00,148
Speaker 4: Like the emotional, the mental, and the physical demand that

479
00:19:00,188 --> 00:19:02,908
Speaker 4: this takes, because this is not you're not going up

480
00:19:02,908 --> 00:19:04,868
Speaker 4: against some of these schools that you had to go against.

481
00:19:04,868 --> 00:19:07,868
Speaker 3: And like, I'm again not trying to offend anybody, but

482
00:19:07,908 --> 00:19:09,428
Speaker 3: some of those beats that he had.

483
00:19:09,268 --> 00:19:11,508
Speaker 4: For like running in for a touchdown, the corner just

484
00:19:11,588 --> 00:19:13,668
Speaker 4: kind of like stood there after you broke his ankle

485
00:19:13,708 --> 00:19:16,588
Speaker 4: one time, Like this is the comeback and the effort

486
00:19:16,628 --> 00:19:19,148
Speaker 4: on the corners And frankly, if you're a corner you're

487
00:19:19,148 --> 00:19:21,748
Speaker 4: going up against Justin Jefferson and the Vikings and you're

488
00:19:21,748 --> 00:19:23,868
Speaker 4: going to turn around and play wide receiver, that is

489
00:19:23,868 --> 00:19:26,788
Speaker 4: an insane ask and to demand Peter for this young man.

490
00:19:26,868 --> 00:19:29,788
Speaker 4: I just find it like this is an incredible challenge,

491
00:19:29,788 --> 00:19:33,668
Speaker 4: an incredible accomplishment at the college level, and incredible challenge

492
00:19:33,708 --> 00:19:34,348
Speaker 4: in the NFL.

493
00:19:35,028 --> 00:19:36,868
Speaker 5: It is, and it's been on president like we don't

494
00:19:36,868 --> 00:19:39,548
Speaker 5: see it. Chuck bed and Arek played both ways. In

495
00:19:39,668 --> 00:19:42,668
Speaker 5: nineteen sixty. We saw Dion Sanders catch a few long

496
00:19:42,708 --> 00:19:45,868
Speaker 5: balls with the Cowboys and have a couple of receptions

497
00:19:45,868 --> 00:19:48,228
Speaker 5: in a Super Bowl like we've seen in spots, but

498
00:19:48,268 --> 00:19:51,388
Speaker 5: we've never seen someone do it full time the way

499
00:19:51,548 --> 00:19:53,468
Speaker 5: he's looking to do it. I did speak with one

500
00:19:53,708 --> 00:19:56,228
Speaker 5: general manager this week here and I was like, where

501
00:19:56,268 --> 00:19:57,468
Speaker 5: do you have hundred? He's like, you can make the

502
00:19:57,548 --> 00:20:00,348
Speaker 5: argument he's the best corner and he's the best wide

503
00:20:00,348 --> 00:20:03,108
Speaker 5: receiver in this draft. If that's the case, Jamie, he

504
00:20:03,148 --> 00:20:03,868
Speaker 5: may be different.

505
00:20:04,668 --> 00:20:05,788
Speaker 7: Yeah, and I'm biased.

506
00:20:05,828 --> 00:20:07,988
Speaker 8: I'm a former quarterback and I still stand loud by

507
00:20:07,988 --> 00:20:10,068
Speaker 8: what I said earlier in the week. I am knocking

508
00:20:10,108 --> 00:20:12,028
Speaker 8: on my offensive coordinator's door to my GM door the

509
00:20:12,028 --> 00:20:13,988
Speaker 8: next day after we draft Travis Hunter, saying this is

510
00:20:13,988 --> 00:20:16,468
Speaker 8: why he needs to play offense right And to Manti's point,

511
00:20:16,708 --> 00:20:19,068
Speaker 8: he said something great there, very important is if you

512
00:20:19,188 --> 00:20:21,708
Speaker 8: overload yourself mentally by trying to learn two playbooks, and

513
00:20:21,748 --> 00:20:22,348
Speaker 8: it was very hard.

514
00:20:22,348 --> 00:20:22,668
Speaker 7: I don't know.

515
00:20:22,708 --> 00:20:24,788
Speaker 8: I can't speak on defense, but on offense, it was

516
00:20:24,828 --> 00:20:26,788
Speaker 8: so difficult when you get there for rookie mini camp

517
00:20:26,948 --> 00:20:28,348
Speaker 8: to try to learn those plays and in the same

518
00:20:28,428 --> 00:20:29,668
Speaker 8: day go out there and perform at the best of

519
00:20:29,668 --> 00:20:32,308
Speaker 8: your ability while all the coaches are watching right and

520
00:20:32,508 --> 00:20:34,468
Speaker 8: your future and that organization is on the line.

521
00:20:34,508 --> 00:20:34,588
Speaker 10: Now.

522
00:20:34,588 --> 00:20:36,508
Speaker 8: Obviously he'll be a high draft pick. He's not out

523
00:20:36,508 --> 00:20:38,308
Speaker 8: there for a tryout basis or any of those things.

524
00:20:38,308 --> 00:20:40,988
Speaker 8: But I just see it as if he overloads himself mentally,

525
00:20:41,268 --> 00:20:43,268
Speaker 8: are you going to be great at one position? Are

526
00:20:43,268 --> 00:20:44,628
Speaker 8: you going to be I don't want to say average,

527
00:20:44,628 --> 00:20:46,468
Speaker 8: but not play it to the best of your ability

528
00:20:46,508 --> 00:20:48,468
Speaker 8: if you're trying to do too much, especially early on

529
00:20:48,548 --> 00:20:49,068
Speaker 8: in your career.

530
00:20:49,148 --> 00:20:51,988
Speaker 4: Yeah, isn't that quarterback knocking the same door that if

531
00:20:52,028 --> 00:20:54,828
Speaker 4: he gives up on a route because he's so tired

532
00:20:54,868 --> 00:20:57,348
Speaker 4: from playing corner or like the next day. I mean,

533
00:20:57,388 --> 00:20:59,628
Speaker 4: it's just it's a lot And this is not knocking

534
00:20:59,708 --> 00:21:01,588
Speaker 4: again what he can or cannot do. It's just that

535
00:21:01,668 --> 00:21:03,828
Speaker 4: we want him to be great at whatever position that

536
00:21:03,868 --> 00:21:04,348
Speaker 4: he picks.

537
00:21:04,188 --> 00:21:06,108
Speaker 3: It's it's a really hard choice because they're really fun

538
00:21:06,108 --> 00:21:06,748
Speaker 3: to watch him play.

539
00:21:06,988 --> 00:21:08,988
Speaker 4: Still the com this is one of the great questions

540
00:21:08,988 --> 00:21:11,028
Speaker 4: of the Combine, is where Travis Hunter goes.

541
00:21:10,868 --> 00:21:12,708
Speaker 3: And what he does with that skills that he has.

542
00:21:13,188 --> 00:21:14,908
Speaker 4: We're going to head back to Indianapolis for some of

543
00:21:14,948 --> 00:21:18,148
Speaker 4: the best sites in sounds. From day one at the Combine,

544
00:21:18,188 --> 00:21:20,188
Speaker 4: Timmy Checks has been out there getting to know the

545
00:21:20,188 --> 00:21:22,228
Speaker 4: guys when they get done with the workout and their

546
00:21:22,268 --> 00:21:23,228
Speaker 4: off field stuff.

547
00:21:23,268 --> 00:21:25,108
Speaker 3: She's so good at this. We have a whole look.

548
00:21:24,988 --> 00:21:28,468
Speaker 4: Back, plus we're going to look at guys and their

549
00:21:28,668 --> 00:21:32,588
Speaker 4: futures with some of the most memorable moments from this

550
00:21:32,788 --> 00:21:33,548
Speaker 4: past season.

551
00:21:33,788 --> 00:21:35,548
Speaker 3: More GMFB when we return.

552
00:21:47,268 --> 00:21:49,668
Speaker 2: Good Morning Football.

553
00:21:49,708 --> 00:21:51,948
Speaker 5: One of the cool things about being here in Indianapolis

554
00:21:51,988 --> 00:21:53,508
Speaker 5: is getting a chance to catch up with all the

555
00:21:53,548 --> 00:21:56,028
Speaker 5: general managers and the coaches who are present. That can

556
00:21:56,068 --> 00:21:59,228
Speaker 5: be everything from the defensive line coach of a certain

557
00:21:59,268 --> 00:22:01,948
Speaker 5: team or to the highest of certain organizations. And I

558
00:22:01,948 --> 00:22:04,468
Speaker 5: had the opportunity last night to speak with one of

559
00:22:04,348 --> 00:22:06,788
Speaker 5: the best personnelmen in all of football and a guy

560
00:22:06,868 --> 00:22:07,708
Speaker 5: who's running one of.

561
00:22:07,668 --> 00:22:09,508
Speaker 2: The best organizations in the sports.

562
00:22:09,668 --> 00:22:12,948
Speaker 5: Here is my interview with Eric DaCosta the VP and

563
00:22:12,988 --> 00:22:14,948

Speaker 5: EVP of the Baltimore Ravens, mister Eric DaCosta.

567
00:22:21,948 --> 00:22:24,308
Speaker 2: We were just talking off camera a little bit.

568
00:22:25,388 --> 00:22:30,188
Speaker 5: Twenty ninth combine with the same NFL team, Is that right?

569
00:22:30,908 --> 00:22:31,268
Speaker 7: It is?

570
00:22:31,388 --> 00:22:32,268
Speaker 2: I've been blessed.

571
00:22:32,388 --> 00:22:35,268
Speaker 11: And you know my first combine nineteen ninety seven, I

572
00:22:35,308 --> 00:22:37,948
Speaker 11: sat with Ozzie Newsom here I am now twenty nine

573
00:22:37,988 --> 00:22:39,828
Speaker 11: years later, I'm still sitting up there with Ozzie Newsom

574
00:22:39,868 --> 00:22:41,348
Speaker 11: watching players.

575
00:22:41,028 --> 00:22:42,908
Speaker 5: Who do you remember it was? It like, I guess

576
00:22:42,948 --> 00:22:44,708
Speaker 5: it's after Ray Lewis, but I gotta think like Ed

577
00:22:44,788 --> 00:22:47,788
Speaker 5: Reed and Bulwear and Hellodi Nada, all these guys you

578
00:22:47,828 --> 00:22:48,708
Speaker 5: remember seeing them here in.

579
00:22:48,668 --> 00:22:53,308
Speaker 11: Indy Terrell suggs Helodi put on a show here, Ed Reid,

580
00:22:53,988 --> 00:22:56,548
Speaker 11: you know all those guys recently, you know, Kyle Hamilton,

581
00:22:56,748 --> 00:22:59,908
Speaker 11: Tyler Lindebaum, guys like that, Zay Flowers. You know, we've

582
00:22:59,908 --> 00:23:03,268
Speaker 11: been blessed. I've seen a bunch of them. Joe Flacco,

583
00:23:03,668 --> 00:23:05,508
Speaker 11: I mean, you know, put on an exhibition here. So

584
00:23:05,548 --> 00:23:06,748
Speaker 11: I've had a chance to see a lot of great

585
00:23:06,748 --> 00:23:08,908
Speaker 11: players play here and we've been fortunate to draft a

586
00:23:08,948 --> 00:23:09,628
Speaker 11: lot of those guys.

587
00:23:10,148 --> 00:23:11,268
Speaker 2: They call you e DC.

588
00:23:11,468 --> 00:23:14,588
Speaker 5: In earlier this month, Lamar Jackson joke that it's DC

589
00:23:14,668 --> 00:23:17,788
Speaker 5: because every dollar counts. There are some decisions to be

590
00:23:17,828 --> 00:23:20,708
Speaker 5: made in Baltimore this offseason. When do you start really

591
00:23:20,748 --> 00:23:22,668
Speaker 5: digging in because we know there's been lots of conversations

592
00:23:22,708 --> 00:23:25,228
Speaker 5: with agents and you start talking to the players, but

593
00:23:25,268 --> 00:23:26,948
Speaker 5: there are some big decisions in Baltimore to be made

594
00:23:27,028 --> 00:23:27,348
Speaker 5: right now.

595
00:23:27,588 --> 00:23:29,908
Speaker 11: Well, I would say that DC stands for every draft

596
00:23:29,948 --> 00:23:32,908
Speaker 11: counts because we never have any money. We're always up

597
00:23:32,908 --> 00:23:35,668
Speaker 11: against the cap, and our job is really to find

598
00:23:35,668 --> 00:23:38,068
Speaker 11: the best talent we can Here. We have eleven picks.

599
00:23:38,108 --> 00:23:39,908
Speaker 11: I think this year, you know, we're going to try

600
00:23:39,908 --> 00:23:42,028
Speaker 11: and retain some of our guys. We do have some

601
00:23:42,068 --> 00:23:44,308
Speaker 11: free agents, not quite as many as last year, but

602
00:23:44,348 --> 00:23:47,148
Speaker 11: we definitely have some tough decisions to make. In saying

603
00:23:47,188 --> 00:23:49,748
Speaker 11: that you're looking at our team, we would have the

604
00:23:49,788 --> 00:23:51,908
Speaker 11: majority of the team coming back this year, which is

605
00:23:51,948 --> 00:23:54,268
Speaker 11: exciting based on the season we just had with a

606
00:23:54,268 --> 00:23:57,228
Speaker 11: great opportunity to improve, you know, via the draft. I

607
00:23:57,228 --> 00:24:00,788
Speaker 11: think it's a good draft with quality players in every round,

608
00:24:01,068 --> 00:24:02,988
Speaker 11: and I would expect us to have a very good

609
00:24:03,028 --> 00:24:04,028
Speaker 11: team in the field next year.

610
00:24:05,028 --> 00:24:07,068
Speaker 5: I would think most people would agree that the Baltimore

611
00:24:07,108 --> 00:24:09,828
Speaker 5: Ravens have one of the best front offices, most consistent

612
00:24:09,868 --> 00:24:12,188
Speaker 5: front offices. But it sounded like this week when they

613
00:24:12,228 --> 00:24:15,028
Speaker 5: were talking to you in the media, you're getting contributions

614
00:24:15,068 --> 00:24:18,668
Speaker 5: from everybody. Apparently Lamar Jackson weighs in on some players,

615
00:24:18,748 --> 00:24:21,788
Speaker 5: especially in the Florida region, of guys that he's had

616
00:24:21,788 --> 00:24:22,188
Speaker 5: his eye on.

617
00:24:22,388 --> 00:24:24,148
Speaker 2: Do you really consult some of the players on guys

618
00:24:24,148 --> 00:24:25,788
Speaker 2: that they like I do?

619
00:24:26,028 --> 00:24:26,228
Speaker 7: You know?

620
00:24:26,268 --> 00:24:29,268
Speaker 11: I think you've got the best in the business plan

621
00:24:29,468 --> 00:24:33,108
Speaker 11: for you. It's wise to consider their opinions at different times,

622
00:24:33,508 --> 00:24:35,868
Speaker 11: and I think too, it's a great way to build

623
00:24:35,908 --> 00:24:38,388
Speaker 11: relationships with your guys to ask them about players that

624
00:24:38,468 --> 00:24:42,148
Speaker 11: might have played with, guys they've seen on TV, guys

625
00:24:42,148 --> 00:24:43,148
Speaker 11: from their hometowns.

626
00:24:43,948 --> 00:24:45,628
Speaker 7: You know, they feel a part of the process. It's

627
00:24:45,668 --> 00:24:46,188
Speaker 7: a fun thing.

628
00:24:46,468 --> 00:24:49,188
Speaker 11: Our guys love college football, so they watch the games

629
00:24:49,188 --> 00:24:51,708
Speaker 11: on Saturdays. They definitely in some case they have strong opinions.

630
00:24:52,388 --> 00:24:56,468
Speaker 11: We don't feel obligated to band to those opinions every

631
00:24:56,468 --> 00:24:59,268
Speaker 11: single year, but it's a nice aspect of my job

632
00:24:59,348 --> 00:25:00,748
Speaker 11: to be able to talk to these guys and get

633
00:25:00,748 --> 00:25:01,748
Speaker 11: their opinions on players.

634
00:25:01,988 --> 00:25:02,308
Speaker 2: Love it.

635
00:25:02,308 --> 00:25:05,508
Speaker 5: Hey, twenty nine years of the com years with the Ravens,

636
00:25:05,748 --> 00:25:08,028
Speaker 5: all with one team in an NFL career that's been

637
00:25:08,068 --> 00:25:08,708
Speaker 5: really decorated.

638
00:25:08,748 --> 00:25:09,748
Speaker 2: Thanks so much for joining us.

639
00:25:09,748 --> 00:25:09,908
Speaker 7: Man.

640
00:25:10,068 --> 00:25:10,788
Speaker 2: Thanks Pete.

641
00:25:11,748 --> 00:25:14,028
Speaker 5: He's a good man right there, and he's a great evaluator.

642
00:25:14,108 --> 00:25:16,228
Speaker 5: Last year they took Nate Wiggins of the first round,

643
00:25:16,268 --> 00:25:18,668
Speaker 5: and of course Wiggins was a starting corner by into

644
00:25:18,708 --> 00:25:20,308
Speaker 5: the season, one of the best rookies in the game.

645
00:25:20,788 --> 00:25:23,748
Speaker 5: Eric DeCosta values the combine. So many of these general

646
00:25:23,788 --> 00:25:26,508
Speaker 5: managers do. They're on the premises. We're going to see

647
00:25:26,548 --> 00:25:29,508
Speaker 5: them all, hopefully. I'm interviewing a couple tonight on the coverage.

648
00:25:29,508 --> 00:25:31,628
Speaker 5: I think Brandon Bean has agreed. We'll see if they

649
00:25:31,628 --> 00:25:34,948
Speaker 5: actually follow through. That's a test publicly, Brandon, you better.

650
00:25:34,788 --> 00:25:35,548
Speaker 2: Stand with me there.

651
00:25:35,588 --> 00:25:39,148
Speaker 5: Okay, So Jamie, we go back to you guys at

652
00:25:39,228 --> 00:25:40,828
Speaker 5: the table and honor to be here as always.

653
00:25:40,868 --> 00:25:42,548
Speaker 2: I just love it. I'm a kid in a candy store.

654
00:25:42,588 --> 00:25:45,068
Speaker 4: I bet maybe we'll just take this one minute in

655
00:25:45,348 --> 00:25:48,708
Speaker 4: after that conversation just to really wax poetic about how

656
00:25:48,828 --> 00:25:50,588
Speaker 4: great the Ravens have been the last couple of years

657
00:25:50,588 --> 00:25:51,788
Speaker 4: and a lot of that has to do with the

658
00:25:51,828 --> 00:25:54,748
Speaker 4: decisions that the brass and their team makes. The Zay

659
00:25:54,788 --> 00:25:57,268
Speaker 4: Flowers pick has been one that has really shine and

660
00:25:57,588 --> 00:25:59,188
Speaker 4: that is a young man who's kind of been through

661
00:25:59,188 --> 00:26:01,068
Speaker 4: it in the NFL. I think he arrived in this

662
00:26:01,308 --> 00:26:05,748
Speaker 4: organization that the high powered why wide receiver just wasn't

663
00:26:05,788 --> 00:26:08,148
Speaker 4: where they put their investment in that position for a

664
00:26:08,148 --> 00:26:09,908
Speaker 4: long time, and now he has kind of carved out

665
00:26:10,148 --> 00:26:12,828
Speaker 4: a beautiful role for himself within this offense that has

666
00:26:12,908 --> 00:26:14,028
Speaker 4: Lamar Jackson at the helm.

667
00:26:14,068 --> 00:26:15,148
Speaker 3: I think the Ravens are great.

668
00:26:15,228 --> 00:26:17,268
Speaker 4: I think they are one of the cornerstone organizations in

669
00:26:17,268 --> 00:26:19,628
Speaker 4: the NFL and the way they conduct their business over

670
00:26:19,748 --> 00:26:22,308
Speaker 4: draft weekend, and it really starts Cody with the combine

671
00:26:22,428 --> 00:26:24,748
Speaker 4: with how impressive the Ravens have been with their decision making.

672
00:26:24,908 --> 00:26:26,948
Speaker 8: Yeah, and I love what the Costas said about, you know,

673
00:26:27,028 --> 00:26:29,388
Speaker 8: and to what extent by having Lamar Jackson play a

674
00:26:29,468 --> 00:26:31,508
Speaker 8: role and who they're in to their roster, you know,

675
00:26:31,628 --> 00:26:33,908
Speaker 8: And when you talk about teams like that, it's a continuity, right.

676
00:26:33,948 --> 00:26:35,508
Speaker 8: You have the same head coach, the same front office,

677
00:26:35,508 --> 00:26:37,028
Speaker 8: the same quarterback. And I know there was that time

678
00:26:37,068 --> 00:26:39,428
Speaker 8: when when you know they gave Lamar Jackson the franchise

679
00:26:39,508 --> 00:26:41,108
Speaker 8: tag and he went and looked other options, but then

680
00:26:41,148 --> 00:26:43,028
Speaker 8: he came home and stayed with the Ravens. Just when

681
00:26:43,028 --> 00:26:45,108
Speaker 8: you have continuity and teams in the AFC that you

682
00:26:45,148 --> 00:26:47,588
Speaker 8: think about with like the Ravens, the Bills, the Chiefs,

683
00:26:47,748 --> 00:26:49,948
Speaker 8: that's why they're competitive year in and year out, and

684
00:26:49,988 --> 00:26:52,748
Speaker 8: they trust each other. When you build that relationship, it's

685
00:26:52,988 --> 00:26:54,828
Speaker 8: it's difficult to beat those teams, right, and that's why

686
00:26:54,828 --> 00:26:56,828
Speaker 8: they stay so consistent for a long time. So I

687
00:26:56,828 --> 00:26:58,228
Speaker 8: love that interview. That was a great job by Peter

688
00:26:58,308 --> 00:26:58,948
Speaker 8: and in DaCosta.

689
00:26:59,068 --> 00:27:01,468
Speaker 9: Whether continuity as a result of the success, right, like

690
00:27:01,508 --> 00:27:03,788
Speaker 9: if you don't have success, there's a lot of firings

691
00:27:03,788 --> 00:27:05,148
Speaker 9: that go on a lot of transitions, a lot of

692
00:27:05,148 --> 00:27:08,068
Speaker 9: people have to go elsewhere, and so there are certain

693
00:27:08,548 --> 00:27:12,948
Speaker 9: teams that operate at a level of detail that's a

694
00:27:12,948 --> 00:27:14,828
Speaker 9: little bit different. You would think that in the NFL

695
00:27:14,868 --> 00:27:17,708
Speaker 9: everybody's the same, but the experience based on the team

696
00:27:18,028 --> 00:27:19,628
Speaker 9: may be a little bit different. And when you go

697
00:27:19,708 --> 00:27:21,348
Speaker 9: to the better teams in the NFL that now we

698
00:27:21,348 --> 00:27:23,548
Speaker 9: would to say better teams, the teams that you consistently

699
00:27:23,588 --> 00:27:25,708
Speaker 9: see in the playoff, they just.

700
00:27:25,828 --> 00:27:27,988
Speaker 7: Do things a little bit different. The Ravens are one

701
00:27:28,028 --> 00:27:28,268
Speaker 7: of them.

702
00:27:28,348 --> 00:27:31,828
Speaker 4: Absolutely so Peter, despite having any pigot a litter of

703
00:27:31,948 --> 00:27:34,148
Speaker 4: envy general manager that's walking through the corridor and he

704
00:27:34,228 --> 00:27:35,868
Speaker 4: flags him down and says, hey, can I ask you

705
00:27:35,908 --> 00:27:37,948
Speaker 4: a couple of questions? He's not the only one. Like

706
00:27:37,948 --> 00:27:40,428
Speaker 4: a kid in the candy store in Indianapolis. Kimmy Checks

707
00:27:40,748 --> 00:27:42,908
Speaker 4: is there as well. She is stationed down on the

708
00:27:42,948 --> 00:27:45,748
Speaker 4: field during the workouts. She has been crushing it at

709
00:27:45,748 --> 00:27:47,428
Speaker 4: the Combine. Let's take a look back at some of

710
00:27:47,468 --> 00:27:50,908

750
00:29:20,068 --> 00:29:22,668
Speaker 14: Going back to my freshman year in high school when

751
00:29:22,788 --> 00:29:24,948
Speaker 14: the duck contest and.

752
00:29:25,068 --> 00:29:28,388
Speaker 15: Crazy enough that jump before jumping over, and that was

753
00:29:28,428 --> 00:29:29,268
Speaker 15: my first time doing that.

754
00:29:30,108 --> 00:29:31,308
Speaker 7: So that first I was like.

755
00:29:31,348 --> 00:29:33,028
Speaker 2: Yeah, you're in a dunk contest. I was like, oh really,

756
00:29:33,268 --> 00:29:34,628
Speaker 2: They're like yeah. I was like, what are you gonna do?

757
00:29:34,628 --> 00:29:36,588
Speaker 7: And I was like, I have no idea. So I

758
00:29:36,628 --> 00:29:38,348
Speaker 7: found one of my friends crowd and I was like, hey,

759
00:29:38,708 --> 00:29:39,788
Speaker 7: let me jump over, and.

760
00:29:39,788 --> 00:29:40,348
Speaker 6: He trusted you.

761
00:29:40,468 --> 00:29:45,068
Speaker 12: I trusted who fought linebacker representing ole miss here with me.

762
00:29:45,468 --> 00:29:46,788
Speaker 6: As a cambine poo.

763
00:29:47,508 --> 00:29:48,108
Speaker 7: You made it?

764
00:29:48,668 --> 00:29:49,468
Speaker 6: Are you still nervous?

765
00:29:49,468 --> 00:29:49,628
Speaker 2: Here?

766
00:29:49,708 --> 00:29:49,788
Speaker 7: Like?

767
00:29:49,828 --> 00:29:51,628
Speaker 6: I did the thing? Now I'm done. Now I can

768
00:29:51,668 --> 00:29:52,268
Speaker 6: take a deep breath.

769
00:29:52,508 --> 00:29:54,508
Speaker 14: It's kind of a sour relief at this moment. I

770
00:29:54,548 --> 00:29:55,148
Speaker 14: really got past.

771
00:29:55,188 --> 00:29:57,468
Speaker 7: My biggest thing was was my forty and I did

772
00:29:57,508 --> 00:29:58,508
Speaker 7: a fantastic job.

773
00:29:58,668 --> 00:29:59,268
Speaker 6: I love this too.

774
00:29:59,308 --> 00:30:02,108
Speaker 12: It's like the hard work has been a grind slight

775
00:30:02,228 --> 00:30:03,068
Speaker 12: five one five.

776
00:30:03,468 --> 00:30:08,948
Speaker 14: That's insane, just for real, you know, something right, eating right?

777
00:30:09,108 --> 00:30:11,388
Speaker 14: You know it's just with my coach bunte in the bag,

778
00:30:11,468 --> 00:30:12,388
Speaker 14: you know, hyping me up.

779
00:30:13,268 --> 00:30:14,548
Speaker 7: I mean, you can't teach that.

780
00:30:14,548 --> 00:30:15,308
Speaker 2: That's just pliny.

781
00:30:15,548 --> 00:30:18,868
Speaker 7: No, this right here, Tell me about it. Tell me

782
00:30:18,868 --> 00:30:20,988
Speaker 7: about I grew up in South Georgia.

783
00:30:21,828 --> 00:30:24,908
Speaker 14: Most of my family are Falcon fans, and when I

784
00:30:24,988 --> 00:30:27,348
Speaker 14: seen him, I immediately started fangirling.

785
00:30:27,388 --> 00:30:28,388
Speaker 7: I'm not ashamed to say it.

786
00:30:28,908 --> 00:30:31,068

787
00:30:31,108 --> 00:30:32,828
Speaker 14: to have a photo with you. As you can see,

788
00:30:32,868 --> 00:30:34,508
Speaker 14: I'll pull in a serious face because I didn't want

789
00:30:34,508 --> 00:30:35,988
Speaker 14: to show all my brackets.

790
00:30:36,068 --> 00:30:40,468

00:30:43,548 --> 00:30:44,948
Speaker 7: I played running back when I was younger.

793
00:30:44,988 --> 00:30:46,748
Speaker 2: I played all the skilled positions when I was when

Speaker 2: I was younger.

795
00:30:47,228 --> 00:30:48,428

Speaker 7: I mean I impressed myself.

800
00:30:56,468 --> 00:30:58,188

801
00:30:58,228 --> 00:31:01,268
Speaker 8: growing up with alopece more to life than stressing about that.

00:33:31,108 --> 00:33:33,628
Speaker 5: of these. I haven't done the tunnel shot yet. In fact,

858
00:33:33,668 --> 00:33:36,348
Speaker 5: I've been here in this seat for the last twenty

859
00:33:36,348 --> 00:33:36,788
Speaker 5: four hours.

860
00:33:36,788 --> 00:33:38,308
Speaker 2: Shut I slept here last night, guys.

861
00:33:38,308 --> 00:33:41,388
Speaker 5: So it's nice and cozy, it's good, the lighting is perfect.

862
00:33:42,108 --> 00:33:43,828
Speaker 5: But yeah, I'll be here again all day to day

863
00:33:43,908 --> 00:33:46,068
Speaker 5: and all night tonight, So let's look forward to what

864
00:33:46,108 --> 00:33:46,828
Speaker 5: we got up ahead.

865
00:33:46,908 --> 00:33:51,148
Speaker 4: Okay, So to Peter's points, everyone is on all hands

866
00:33:51,148 --> 00:33:54,348
Speaker 4: on deck and Indianapolis, the coverage is wall to wall

867
00:33:54,468 --> 00:33:57,068
Speaker 4: and every time a position group is up for the

868
00:33:57,188 --> 00:33:59,628
Speaker 4: day the day before they work out, that means that

869
00:33:59,628 --> 00:34:01,468
Speaker 4: they have to do media availabilities and the meet for

870
00:34:01,508 --> 00:34:04,988
Speaker 4: the team. The quarterbacks are talking today, Cody, So Shador

871
00:34:05,108 --> 00:34:07,428
Speaker 4: Sanders is going to have to stand up at a

872
00:34:07,428 --> 00:34:11,668
Speaker 4: podium and answer questions about his time in college, his family,

873
00:34:11,788 --> 00:34:14,348
Speaker 4: his life. What can you tell us about watching him

874
00:34:14,388 --> 00:34:16,468
Speaker 4: in college and just the personality that he is and

875
00:34:16,508 --> 00:34:18,988
Speaker 4: make sure it really stays to shudure and it doesn't

876
00:34:19,068 --> 00:34:20,468
Speaker 4: kind of bleed into who his dad is.

877
00:34:20,708 --> 00:34:23,628
Speaker 8: Yeah, I mean the interviews are almost more important than

878
00:34:23,628 --> 00:34:25,588
Speaker 8: the on the field stuff, right because you can watch

879
00:34:25,588 --> 00:34:27,868
Speaker 8: all of their film and I truly believe that, yes,

880
00:34:28,108 --> 00:34:30,148
Speaker 8: on the field workouts of the combine are important, the

881
00:34:30,148 --> 00:34:32,668
Speaker 8: pre draft process, all of that, But your game film

882
00:34:32,668 --> 00:34:34,508
Speaker 8: tells a lot more of the story of who you are.

883
00:34:34,868 --> 00:34:37,028
Speaker 7: But those coaches gms don't.

884
00:34:37,108 --> 00:34:38,548
Speaker 8: Don't get to sit down with you face to face

885
00:34:38,588 --> 00:34:40,188
Speaker 8: as much, right, So now you get a chance to

886
00:34:40,228 --> 00:34:42,868
Speaker 8: show your personality And my biggest advice with that is

887
00:34:42,948 --> 00:34:45,668
Speaker 8: be authentic, but also be honest, because if they're asking

888
00:34:45,668 --> 00:34:48,148
Speaker 8: you a question, I promise they already know the answer

889
00:34:48,268 --> 00:34:49,388
Speaker 8: because they've done their research.

890
00:34:49,508 --> 00:34:50,588
Speaker 7: They've done their due diligence.

891
00:34:50,588 --> 00:34:52,708
Speaker 8: When you're shaudor Sanders too, and you're going to be

892
00:34:52,708 --> 00:34:55,148
Speaker 8: that high of a draft pick or potentially that high

893
00:34:55,148 --> 00:34:56,908
Speaker 8: of a draft pick, they've done all of their research.

894
00:34:57,028 --> 00:34:58,508
Speaker 7: But they want to know what type of person they're

895
00:34:58,508 --> 00:34:59,268
Speaker 7: getting in their building.

896
00:34:59,428 --> 00:35:01,308
Speaker 8: And can they trust you if you sit there and

897
00:35:01,348 --> 00:35:03,548
Speaker 8: say things that aren't completely honest or you you know,

898
00:35:03,908 --> 00:35:05,588
Speaker 8: beat around butsch a little bit and they're gonna ask

899
00:35:05,628 --> 00:35:07,508
Speaker 8: him about the watch thing and about all those you know,

900
00:35:07,708 --> 00:35:08,628
Speaker 8: is that your personality?

901
00:35:08,708 --> 00:35:09,348
Speaker 7: Do that for show?

902
00:35:09,588 --> 00:35:11,708
Speaker 8: Just be honestly authentic because when get in the locker room,

903
00:35:11,948 --> 00:35:13,548
Speaker 8: guys trust you when you're authentic.

904
00:35:13,588 --> 00:35:14,988
Speaker 7: Don't be someone new every single day.

905
00:35:15,028 --> 00:35:16,428
Speaker 3: All right, let's see it for itself.

906
00:35:16,468 --> 00:35:19,988
Speaker 4: Should were Sanders at the podium from Indianapolis right now.

907
00:35:20,988 --> 00:35:23,708
Speaker 15: I've been through six different OC's, you know, so I'm

908
00:35:23,748 --> 00:35:25,988
Speaker 15: able to adjust to in the office in every scheme

909
00:35:26,348 --> 00:35:31,188
Speaker 15: and make it work. We went from Jackson State to

910
00:35:31,308 --> 00:35:34,428
Speaker 15: Colorado and change two programs back to back. So you

911
00:35:34,428 --> 00:35:37,148
Speaker 15: don't think I could come to the NFL franchise and

912
00:35:37,228 --> 00:35:40,508
Speaker 15: change the program again. It's history. We've done it again,

913
00:35:40,548 --> 00:35:43,188
Speaker 15: It's always gonna repeat it. So I'm truly thankful. You know,

914
00:35:43,268 --> 00:35:45,428
Speaker 15: my dad was able to assemble a staff. He was

915
00:35:45,468 --> 00:35:48,468
Speaker 15: able to assemble because it's knowledge everywhere. We're able to

916
00:35:48,468 --> 00:35:52,348
Speaker 15: talk to the running back coach, receiver coaches, defensive coordinators,

917
00:35:52,628 --> 00:35:55,108
Speaker 15: all these different types of coaches to give you the

918
00:35:55,268 --> 00:35:57,908
Speaker 15: perspective and what you need to improve on and grow at.

919
00:35:58,148 --> 00:35:59,188
Speaker 7: So I'm realistic.

920
00:35:59,308 --> 00:36:00,828
Speaker 15: You know, I know what I need to improve on,

921
00:36:00,908 --> 00:36:03,108
Speaker 15: I know what I need to grow at, and year

922
00:36:03,148 --> 00:36:06,988
Speaker 15: by year, cut on the tape, those mistakes cut down yearly,

923
00:36:07,228 --> 00:36:09,988
Speaker 15: So I'm hyper aware of everything I need to do

924
00:36:10,148 --> 00:36:13,548
Speaker 15: to be successful. So I'm ready to get to it.

925
00:36:13,668 --> 00:36:15,788
Speaker 15: If you ain't trying to change the franchise or the coach,

926
00:36:15,828 --> 00:36:18,668
Speaker 15: that don't give me. So you should know history repeats

927
00:36:18,668 --> 00:36:21,468
Speaker 15: itself over and over and over, and I've done it

928
00:36:21,548 --> 00:36:23,948
Speaker 15: over and over and over, so it should be no

929
00:36:24,028 --> 00:36:27,388
Speaker 15: question why NFL franchise should pick me. You think I'm

930
00:36:27,428 --> 00:36:29,548
Speaker 15: worried about what critics saying, what people got to say?

931
00:36:30,188 --> 00:36:32,388
Speaker 15: You know who my dad is they hate it on

932
00:36:32,468 --> 00:36:36,468
Speaker 15: him too, so it's like it's almost normal without people hating.

933
00:36:36,508 --> 00:36:39,988
Speaker 15: It's not normal for us. So we like the adversity.

934
00:36:40,028 --> 00:36:42,588
Speaker 15: We like everything that comes with the name. That's why

935
00:36:42,628 --> 00:36:43,348
Speaker 15: we are who we are.

936
00:36:44,548 --> 00:36:46,988
Speaker 4: Okay, Peter, what do you think about first answers We're

937
00:36:47,028 --> 00:36:48,748
Speaker 4: hearing out of store at the podium in Indie.

938
00:36:49,108 --> 00:36:51,228
Speaker 5: He's got a way about him where it comes off

939
00:36:51,308 --> 00:36:54,548
Speaker 5: very confident, but it doesn't come across as cocky or arrogant,

940
00:36:54,588 --> 00:36:58,348
Speaker 5: which is important. I also think being Dion's kid and

941
00:36:58,548 --> 00:37:00,628
Speaker 5: also having a spotlight on you since you were in

942
00:37:00,668 --> 00:37:03,708
Speaker 5: middle school and then high school and then choosing Jackson

943
00:37:03,828 --> 00:37:06,188
Speaker 5: State and then going to Colorado. Like, I don't think

944
00:37:06,228 --> 00:37:08,228
Speaker 5: New York is too big for him. I can't say

945
00:37:08,268 --> 00:37:11,348
Speaker 5: that for every quarterback. I don't think that the historical

946
00:37:11,508 --> 00:37:13,068
Speaker 5: woes of Cleveland.

947
00:37:12,748 --> 00:37:14,068
Speaker 2: Is gonna be too big for him.

948
00:37:14,108 --> 00:37:16,268
Speaker 5: Like, if this guy comes in, he's already had a

949
00:37:16,308 --> 00:37:18,748
Speaker 5: spotlight on him, he's already been a superstar, and he's

950
00:37:18,788 --> 00:37:21,348
Speaker 5: already had all the questions and doubters. So I actually

951
00:37:21,428 --> 00:37:23,148
Speaker 5: kind of like the way he approaches this. He knows

952
00:37:23,188 --> 00:37:24,308
Speaker 5: who he is, He's comfortable in.

953
00:37:24,268 --> 00:37:26,348
Speaker 2: His own skin. The football will be a different story.

954
00:37:26,348 --> 00:37:28,708
Speaker 5: But you better not think you're getting somebody who's scared

955
00:37:28,708 --> 00:37:29,188
Speaker 5: of the moment.

956
00:37:29,228 --> 00:37:30,708
Speaker 2: With Shadora Sanders.

957
00:37:30,388 --> 00:37:33,548
Speaker 4: Nanty, you were very intensely listening to the way he

958
00:37:33,628 --> 00:37:34,068
Speaker 4: was talking.

959
00:37:34,228 --> 00:37:36,188
Speaker 9: You know, personally, for me, I'm just not a talker.

960
00:37:36,388 --> 00:37:39,508
Speaker 9: I'd rather show and improve and do all of those things.

961
00:37:39,548 --> 00:37:41,828
Speaker 9: And you know, I'm confident in myself and my abilities

962
00:37:41,828 --> 00:37:43,788
Speaker 9: to go out there and be a leader that you

963
00:37:43,828 --> 00:37:46,388
Speaker 9: need me to be for your franchise. But I'm not

964
00:37:46,468 --> 00:37:48,868
Speaker 9: going to talk about my accolades and all of this stuff.

965
00:37:48,868 --> 00:37:50,588
Speaker 9: I'm gonna let the outside do that for me. And

966
00:37:50,708 --> 00:37:53,828
Speaker 9: you know, we talked earlier this week with Will when

967
00:37:53,828 --> 00:37:56,068
Speaker 9: you talked about what arrogance, Oh oh.

968
00:37:55,948 --> 00:37:59,668
Speaker 4: Will Packer's healthy arrogance.

969
00:37:59,788 --> 00:38:01,508
Speaker 9: You know, there's a healthy arrogance that you can go

970
00:38:01,588 --> 00:38:03,708
Speaker 9: about and you need that in the NFL. It's it's

971
00:38:03,748 --> 00:38:05,748
Speaker 9: a room flowed with alpha's and you have to beat

972
00:38:05,788 --> 00:38:07,748
Speaker 9: the alpha. So you know, credit to him is just

973
00:38:07,788 --> 00:38:09,068
Speaker 9: not my way that I'll go about it.

974
00:38:09,148 --> 00:38:11,468
Speaker 8: Yeah, yeah, I mean that was a perfect example of

975
00:38:11,508 --> 00:38:13,628
Speaker 8: what I was just saying. Authenticity, Right, that's who you're

976
00:38:13,628 --> 00:38:15,068
Speaker 8: going to be in front of the media. Now, that's

977
00:38:15,268 --> 00:38:16,308
Speaker 8: the way you're going to be in front of the

978
00:38:16,348 --> 00:38:18,988
Speaker 8: media when you get to our organization general managers.

979
00:38:18,988 --> 00:38:19,708
Speaker 7: Although it may.

980
00:38:19,588 --> 00:38:21,948
Speaker 8: Look cocky and flirt in the line with confident and cocky,

981
00:38:22,108 --> 00:38:24,068
Speaker 8: that's authentic and they want to know what they're getting

982
00:38:24,068 --> 00:38:24,548
Speaker 8: in their building.

983
00:38:24,588 --> 00:38:26,188
Speaker 7: So I'm fine with it. I get it.

984
00:38:26,308 --> 00:38:28,068
Speaker 8: Just when you start making comments like that when you

985
00:38:28,068 --> 00:38:29,508
Speaker 8: get to the NFL, you got to back it up right,

986
00:38:29,548 --> 00:38:30,828
Speaker 8: and you've got to stay true to who you are.

987
00:38:30,868 --> 00:38:32,748
Speaker 8: You can't switch up if things don't go the way

988
00:38:32,788 --> 00:38:34,628
Speaker 8: you want. But again, this is a confident young man

989
00:38:34,668 --> 00:38:36,308
Speaker 8: that's had a lot of pressure on his shoulders. He

990
00:38:36,428 --> 00:38:38,948
Speaker 8: changed the culture down at Colorado right, and I know

991
00:38:38,988 --> 00:38:40,748
Speaker 8: he had Travis Hunter and his dad and other people

992
00:38:40,748 --> 00:38:42,028
Speaker 8: helping out. But at the end of the day, I

993
00:38:42,068 --> 00:38:43,428
Speaker 8: love the confidence I think he has go out there

994
00:38:43,468 --> 00:38:44,548
Speaker 8: and then improve some people wrong.

995
00:38:44,628 --> 00:38:48,668
Speaker 4: We had his dad, Dion Sanders, on GMFBOT from the

996
00:38:48,748 --> 00:38:51,428
Speaker 4: Super Bowl week and when I asked him about people's

997
00:38:51,468 --> 00:38:54,188
Speaker 4: opinions whether or not he should be involved in his

998
00:38:54,308 --> 00:38:57,788
Speaker 4: son's meetings with teams. How he very simply said, if

999
00:38:57,828 --> 00:39:00,628
Speaker 4: your child had to go have surgery, wouldn't you walk

1000
00:39:00,628 --> 00:39:02,908
Speaker 4: into the hospital with them and consult with the doctor

1001
00:39:03,388 --> 00:39:05,508
Speaker 4: and you know a coach. That's a good point, and

1002
00:39:05,548 --> 00:39:08,028
Speaker 4: it kind of stopped me right there. It's a valid explanation,

1003
00:39:08,148 --> 00:39:10,188
Speaker 4: but the fact that it's Dion and it's Shadeur and

1004
00:39:10,228 --> 00:39:13,348
Speaker 4: it's the Sanders family it also carries a different weight.

1005
00:39:13,548 --> 00:39:15,948
Speaker 3: But that is a very charming smile. That is a very.

1006
00:39:15,828 --> 00:39:18,988
Speaker 4: Talented young man and he's putting the words out there

1007
00:39:19,028 --> 00:39:21,548
Speaker 4: and now Peter and everybody at the table, he's going

1008
00:39:21,588 --> 00:39:23,988
Speaker 4: to have to fulfill that not only this weekend, but

1009
00:39:24,148 --> 00:39:26,788
Speaker 4: at the draft and onto his NFL career.

1010
00:39:27,668 --> 00:39:28,308
Speaker 3: It's time for.

1011
00:39:28,308 --> 00:39:32,308
Speaker 4: Next jen stats powered by aws Man.

1012
00:39:32,348 --> 00:39:33,548
Speaker 3: You better bring it.

1013
00:39:33,588 --> 00:39:36,628
Speaker 4: If you're getting putting on a screen between Miles Garrett

1014
00:39:37,428 --> 00:39:40,828
Speaker 4: and Texas A and m pass Rusher Shamar Stuart. This

1015
00:39:40,908 --> 00:39:43,828
Speaker 4: is the comparison chart. Here you how the stats and

1016
00:39:43,868 --> 00:39:47,068
Speaker 4: the numbers match up with his fellow former Texas A

1017
00:39:47,108 --> 00:39:50,868
Speaker 4: and m pass rusher. The numbers look eerily similar and

1018
00:39:51,028 --> 00:39:54,588
Speaker 4: Stuart even has him on the speed. This will time

1019
00:39:54,628 --> 00:39:56,828
Speaker 4: will tell, excuse me if Schamar can turn into the

1020
00:39:56,868 --> 00:39:59,628
Speaker 4: type of player that Miles Garrett is now. But when

1021
00:39:59,668 --> 00:40:01,668
Speaker 4: you look at the forty one to the forty on

1022
00:40:01,748 --> 00:40:05,068
Speaker 4: the vertical and all that Jazz. That's pretty cool. You

1028
00:40:17,428 --> 00:40:20,268
Speaker 4: it's quarterbacks they're talking today. Jackson Dart is at the

1029
00:40:20,308 --> 00:40:24,428
Speaker 4: podium now in Indianapolis, and of course, as they always are,

1030
00:40:24,548 --> 00:40:27,388
Speaker 4: these guys are asked who they mirror their games after.

1031
00:40:27,668 --> 00:40:29,268
Speaker 3: Here's the answer from Jackson Dart.

1032
00:40:29,708 --> 00:40:31,028
Speaker 7: Oh.

1033
00:40:31,108 --> 00:40:32,228
Speaker 18: You know, I feel like it's a little bit of

1034
00:40:32,228 --> 00:40:33,948
Speaker 18: a cop out because he just won the Super Bowl,

1035
00:40:33,948 --> 00:40:35,748
Speaker 18: But you know, I love Jay Hurts and what he does.

1036
00:40:35,788 --> 00:40:37,588
Speaker 18: I feel like I'm very similar in my play style

1037
00:40:37,628 --> 00:40:40,468
Speaker 18: to him. I feel like we we can do a

1038
00:40:40,508 --> 00:40:42,548
Speaker 18: lot of the same things. You know, obviously, he's an

1039
00:40:42,588 --> 00:40:44,348
Speaker 18: elite player and I'm trying to reach that level. But

1040
00:40:45,268 --> 00:40:47,508
Speaker 18: you know, he's been somebody that I've tried to resemble

1041
00:40:47,588 --> 00:40:50,108
Speaker 18: my game after, just because of his versatility, being able

1042
00:40:50,148 --> 00:40:52,548
Speaker 18: to run and throw the ball, and just you know,

1043
00:40:52,548 --> 00:40:54,388
Speaker 18: how strong he is in the pocket. I think that's

1044
00:40:54,468 --> 00:40:56,988
Speaker 18: something that I've had a lot of fun, you know,

1045
00:40:57,068 --> 00:40:59,468
Speaker 18: watching and observing his play style.

1046
00:41:01,308 --> 00:41:03,708
Speaker 4: Guy's got a brother, a little brother named Diesel, as

1047
00:41:03,748 --> 00:41:06,828
Speaker 4: Cody just so eloquently reminded us, we love Jackson Dart.

1048
00:41:06,828 --> 00:41:07,908
Speaker 3: We love answers like.

1049
00:41:07,868 --> 00:41:12,428
Speaker 4: That as man type waited out, Jay hurts, not Jalis Jay,

1050
00:41:12,468 --> 00:41:12,908
Speaker 4: it hurts.

1051
00:41:13,268 --> 00:41:14,548
Speaker 3: That's all right, It's not a cop out.

1052
00:41:14,628 --> 00:41:17,068
Speaker 4: I think if you want to play quarterback in the NFL,

1053
00:41:17,228 --> 00:41:18,668
Speaker 4: you can model yourself after.

1054
00:41:18,468 --> 00:41:19,748
Speaker 3: A guy that won a Lombardi.

1055
00:41:20,028 --> 00:41:22,308
Speaker 4: We're gonna have more sound from the quarterbacks and the

1056
00:41:22,308 --> 00:41:24,668
Speaker 4: wide receivers and the running backs speaking at the podium

1057
00:41:24,708 --> 00:41:27,188
Speaker 4: today on GMFB right here and the rest of the

1058
00:41:27,228 --> 00:41:33,508
Speaker 4: day on NFL Network. We're back on GMFB, Peter. People

1059
00:41:33,548 --> 00:41:35,788
Speaker 4: are just walking the hallways. The cameras are going. We're

1060
00:41:35,828 --> 00:41:37,788
Speaker 4: trying to keep track of these guys without their college

1061
00:41:37,828 --> 00:41:40,148
Speaker 4: uniforms on. We're just getting used to them in the NFL. Peter,

1062
00:41:40,228 --> 00:41:41,388
Speaker 4: what are you looking forward to today?

1063
00:41:41,388 --> 00:41:42,228
Speaker 2: Today's going to be great.

1064
00:41:42,228 --> 00:41:44,108
Speaker 5: We got to tight ends to the defensive back tonight,

1065
00:41:44,148 --> 00:41:46,188
Speaker 5: but we have all the drills Saturday and Sunday too.

1066
00:41:46,188 --> 00:41:47,508
Speaker 5: I want to thank everyone on the ground here in

Speaker 3: Peter, you're crushing it.

1073
00:41:59,468 --> 00:42:01,668
Speaker 4: Did you get that confirmation text from Brandon Bean that

1074
00:42:01,668 --> 00:42:02,988
Speaker 4: he's going to sit down with you, buddy?

1075
00:42:03,148 --> 00:42:05,668
Speaker 2: Yeah, he's gonna sit down with you. Just publicly shamed him.

1076
00:42:05,668 --> 00:42:07,148
Speaker 7: So I'll have you to night with the combat.

1077
