There's 42 00:02:00,348 --> 00:02:02,548 Speaker 4: some lights going, there's a little heat rolling in here. 43 00:02:02,588 --> 00:02:05,548 Speaker 4: I didn't wear the tie today, was a little more casual, 44 00:02:05,908 --> 00:02:08,028 Speaker 4: and Kyle thought he might get me over on a 45 00:02:08,028 --> 00:02:10,628 Speaker 4: few trades. It's still all business here on the show. 46 00:02:10,628 --> 00:02:12,428 Speaker 2: Show the jacket underneath. How you sweating yet? 47 00:02:12,468 --> 00:02:13,308 Speaker 4: I'm not sweating yet. 48 00:02:13,308 --> 00:02:14,908 Speaker 2: No, just yet. We gotta get that. 49 00:02:15,268 --> 00:02:17,708 Speaker 4: It was a little rain and the rain was coming 50 00:02:17,748 --> 00:02:20,348 Speaker 4: on the gray, you know, suit, so I had I 51 00:02:20,348 --> 00:02:21,028 Speaker 4: had to dry it out. 52 00:02:21,028 --> 00:02:22,868 Speaker 2: So I was flopping around a little bit. Let's do it. 53 00:02:23,068 --> 00:02:25,268 Speaker 3: I can't wait to see it. As the day progresses, 54 00:02:25,428 --> 00:02:29,148 Speaker 3: Justin starts to shed his layers as the nerves kicking. 55 00:02:29,468 --> 00:02:31,348 Speaker 3: But it's time to get with our lead block and 56 00:02:31,388 --> 00:02:33,428 Speaker 3: a team that's actually going to be on the clock 57 00:02:33,428 --> 00:02:36,108 Speaker 3: in the upcoming draft. For the number six pick, well 58 00:02:36,188 --> 00:02:39,748 Speaker 3: they have an answer at quarterback. Traded from Seattle then 59 00:02:39,788 --> 00:02:42,908 Speaker 3: to the Las Vegas Raiders Gino Smith at a new 60 00:02:42,988 --> 00:02:45,588 Speaker 3: two year deal. Well, all of this is very nice. 61 00:02:45,588 --> 00:02:48,308 Speaker 3: The lead story here, obviously, is that Gino is back 62 00:02:48,348 --> 00:02:51,468 Speaker 3: together with his guy, his head, coach care. 63 00:02:53,788 --> 00:02:56,508 Speaker 5: I think there is unfinished business, and I think, you know, 64 00:02:56,828 --> 00:02:59,308 Speaker 5: when when people think about my story, you know, Coach 65 00:02:59,388 --> 00:03:00,748 Speaker 5: Carroll was a big part of that. You know, he 66 00:03:00,748 --> 00:03:03,348 Speaker 5: gave me an opportunity when not many people would have. 67 00:03:03,468 --> 00:03:05,068 Speaker 5: And he saw, you know, the hard work that I 68 00:03:05,108 --> 00:03:07,108 Speaker 5: was putting in. He saw the things behind the scenes 69 00:03:07,108 --> 00:03:09,228 Speaker 5: that I that I do that allowed me to get 70 00:03:09,228 --> 00:03:11,948 Speaker 5: this opportunity. But to be able to play for him 71 00:03:11,988 --> 00:03:14,988 Speaker 5: and again to be a part of this organization, it 72 00:03:15,028 --> 00:03:17,868 Speaker 5: means everything to myself and my family. I was just 73 00:03:17,908 --> 00:03:20,028 Speaker 5: telling the man, I'll run through a wall for him, 74 00:03:20,068 --> 00:03:22,628 Speaker 5: and he knows that, and I'll do the same for 75 00:03:22,668 --> 00:03:25,308 Speaker 5: my teammates and for this organization. And so I just 76 00:03:25,348 --> 00:03:27,788 Speaker 5: want that to be, you know, kind of who I am, 77 00:03:27,828 --> 00:03:29,308 Speaker 5: and I want that to be the statement of of 78 00:03:29,348 --> 00:03:32,228 Speaker 5: who I am as the quarterback of this team. 79 00:03:32,068 --> 00:03:33,988 Speaker 2: I would say that I might hit that wall before 80 00:03:34,028 --> 00:03:35,428 Speaker 2: you get there. I've seen it. 81 00:03:37,228 --> 00:03:39,388 Speaker 3: Nothing you love more than head coach at a quarterback 82 00:03:39,428 --> 00:03:42,388 Speaker 3: being all in on one another. An important note that 83 00:03:42,388 --> 00:03:45,308 Speaker 3: the Raiders, they do begin their off season workouts today. 84 00:03:45,588 --> 00:03:48,268 Speaker 3: There's a lot of conversation around this organization that they 85 00:03:48,308 --> 00:03:51,028 Speaker 3: need to rebuild, they need to need some new fresh energy. 86 00:03:51,268 --> 00:03:54,748 Speaker 3: Gino Smith does not necessarily feel like a rebuild paired 87 00:03:54,948 --> 00:03:57,068 Speaker 3: with Pete Carroll, but I do like this, are you 88 00:03:57,228 --> 00:03:59,708 Speaker 3: all in on this decision and the way in which 89 00:03:59,788 --> 00:04:01,628 Speaker 3: Las Vegas is moving forward? 90 00:04:01,868 --> 00:04:03,428 Speaker 6: With Gina So I feel like this is a loaded 91 00:04:03,508 --> 00:04:05,908 Speaker 6: question because I'm born in Seattle, so I'm Seattle bread 92 00:04:05,908 --> 00:04:06,148 Speaker 6: and I. 93 00:04:06,068 --> 00:04:07,908 Speaker 2: Have a big, huge passion for the city. 94 00:04:08,348 --> 00:04:12,388 Speaker 6: Listen, he got traded from Seattle obviously to the Raiders, 95 00:04:12,388 --> 00:04:15,508 Speaker 6: and he has a lot of history with Pete Carroll. Obviously, 96 00:04:15,548 --> 00:04:18,188 Speaker 6: Pete Carroll does not want to hit the ground without 97 00:04:18,228 --> 00:04:20,028 Speaker 6: being able to have a little bit of momentum. So 98 00:04:20,108 --> 00:04:22,588 Speaker 6: if you're going to go to a new franchise, if 99 00:04:22,628 --> 00:04:24,468 Speaker 6: you don't have a position where you can go out 100 00:04:24,468 --> 00:04:26,308 Speaker 6: there and get one of the top two quarterbacks that 101 00:04:26,348 --> 00:04:29,428 Speaker 6: everybody feels relatively confident about, then you need to get 102 00:04:29,428 --> 00:04:31,748 Speaker 6: a guy that you know can take care of business 103 00:04:31,748 --> 00:04:33,948 Speaker 6: and you know through and through they need to have 104 00:04:33,948 --> 00:04:36,028 Speaker 6: an understanding. That is why he went out there and 105 00:04:36,028 --> 00:04:38,188 Speaker 6: got Geno Smith. That is why they went ahead to 106 00:04:38,228 --> 00:04:40,428 Speaker 6: open up the bank account and they handed him a 107 00:04:40,428 --> 00:04:42,588 Speaker 6: big boy check because they needed to have a smooth 108 00:04:42,628 --> 00:04:46,028 Speaker 6: transition to the new lineage there with Pete Carroll. They 109 00:04:46,028 --> 00:04:48,588 Speaker 6: brought in Chip Kelly as an offensive coordinator. They're going 110 00:04:48,628 --> 00:04:51,068 Speaker 6: to get creative. They have Jacoby Myers on the outside. 111 00:04:51,108 --> 00:04:54,348 Speaker 6: They brought a Raheem Moster, but they still need more weapons. 112 00:04:54,428 --> 00:04:56,948 Speaker 6: But the one position that you cannot have question marks 113 00:04:56,948 --> 00:04:59,228 Speaker 6: about while you're trying to build your roster. 114 00:04:59,388 --> 00:04:59,908 Speaker 2: Is the QB. 115 00:04:59,988 --> 00:05:01,748 Speaker 6: And that's exactly why Gino Smith is there. 116 00:05:04,388 --> 00:05:06,388 Speaker 4: The way I'm looking at this right now is you 117 00:05:06,428 --> 00:05:08,108 Speaker 4: look at from the top down. You look at Tom 118 00:05:08,148 --> 00:05:10,588 Speaker 4: Brady going out and getting John Spytack the GM. I 119 00:05:10,588 --> 00:05:12,428 Speaker 4: had a chance to talk to him at owners meeting, 120 00:05:12,708 --> 00:05:15,508 Speaker 4: and he wants to build this team through the trenches. 121 00:05:15,548 --> 00:05:18,548 Speaker 4: He wants to have veteran leadership on this team. There's 122 00:05:18,588 --> 00:05:21,468 Speaker 4: no better veteran leadership than Pete Carroll. He's done it all, 123 00:05:21,468 --> 00:05:24,068 Speaker 4: He's won at every single level. And what you do 124 00:05:24,188 --> 00:05:27,348 Speaker 4: by signing Geno to this contract is you don't force 125 00:05:27,388 --> 00:05:30,348 Speaker 4: your hand at six. You don't have to go draft 126 00:05:30,348 --> 00:05:33,108 Speaker 4: a quarterback at that six spot. And you look across 127 00:05:33,108 --> 00:05:36,468 Speaker 4: this roster. You have brock Bowers you drafted last year. 128 00:05:36,748 --> 00:05:39,308 Speaker 4: You have talent on this roster. You go get Raheem Moster, 129 00:05:39,788 --> 00:05:43,228 Speaker 4: a veteran running back. So am I all in on 130 00:05:43,268 --> 00:05:45,668 Speaker 4: the Raiders. I'm all in on there starting the process 131 00:05:45,708 --> 00:05:48,588 Speaker 4: to build this franchise the right way, and that starts 132 00:05:48,628 --> 00:05:52,548 Speaker 4: at ownership, general manager and now Pete Carroll and Geno Smith. 133 00:05:52,908 --> 00:05:55,108 Speaker 1: Well, I like to say that this morning. This just 134 00:05:55,108 --> 00:05:57,028 Speaker 1: something I have not said about the Raiders for a while. 135 00:05:57,188 --> 00:06:00,468 Speaker 1: The vibes are really good. There's fresh air in the building. 136 00:06:00,548 --> 00:06:04,348 Speaker 1: It feels good. You have trusted brands, you have people 137 00:06:04,588 --> 00:06:06,748 Speaker 1: that we know, people we've been around the block with 138 00:06:06,788 --> 00:06:10,348 Speaker 1: people have had success. The coach, the quarterback, the new honer. 139 00:06:10,388 --> 00:06:12,708 Speaker 1: It it all just feels good and it feels like 140 00:06:12,748 --> 00:06:15,948 Speaker 1: a commitment to adulthood. I don't think the Raiders will 141 00:06:15,948 --> 00:06:18,068 Speaker 1: win the Super Bowl this year. I think they will 142 00:06:18,068 --> 00:06:20,388 Speaker 1: put a really good product on the field. This is 143 00:06:20,428 --> 00:06:22,988 Speaker 1: a team that has one winning record in the last 144 00:06:23,068 --> 00:06:23,548 Speaker 1: eight years. 145 00:06:23,548 --> 00:06:24,188 Speaker 2: It's been bad. 146 00:06:24,588 --> 00:06:26,988 Speaker 1: This is a team that was four and thirteen last year. 147 00:06:27,588 --> 00:06:29,708 Speaker 1: This is an organization that was swept by the West. 148 00:06:29,708 --> 00:06:32,148 Speaker 1: They were zero six by the West last year. Okay, 149 00:06:32,268 --> 00:06:35,468 Speaker 1: it's been rough. Now four and thirteen. If a Raiders 150 00:06:35,468 --> 00:06:37,388 Speaker 1: fan is offered right now eight to nine on the 151 00:06:37,388 --> 00:06:39,268 Speaker 1: table this year, you double your win total, I think 152 00:06:39,308 --> 00:06:41,308 Speaker 1: you take it. And the elephant in the room here 153 00:06:41,308 --> 00:06:43,708 Speaker 1: with the Raiders, it's cool to see Pete and Gino 154 00:06:43,788 --> 00:06:45,228 Speaker 1: and those guys I like and Brady. 155 00:06:45,548 --> 00:06:47,268 Speaker 2: The elephant in the room is the AFC West. 156 00:06:47,668 --> 00:06:49,868 Speaker 1: Pete's done a lot of great things in this league. 157 00:06:50,028 --> 00:06:52,548 Speaker 1: These four coaches are insane. I mean that it is 158 00:06:52,548 --> 00:06:55,308 Speaker 1: one of the most interesting, one of the most successful 159 00:06:55,348 --> 00:06:58,468 Speaker 1: collections of coaches in one division in history. And it's 160 00:06:58,508 --> 00:07:00,548 Speaker 1: guys who are all like pick one of these guys 161 00:07:00,628 --> 00:07:02,508 Speaker 1: right here. Pick one of these guys who's going to 162 00:07:02,548 --> 00:07:05,548 Speaker 1: fall on his face this year. You can't, ye, They've 163 00:07:05,588 --> 00:07:07,788 Speaker 1: all won Super Bowls except for Jim on the far right. 164 00:07:07,868 --> 00:07:10,628 Speaker 2: He's been to one. So it's very good. I'll say 165 00:07:10,668 --> 00:07:11,468 Speaker 2: this about Pete. 166 00:07:11,508 --> 00:07:13,628 Speaker 1: For all the great things Pete has done, one of 167 00:07:13,668 --> 00:07:17,068 Speaker 1: the things in his esteemed long track record, he is 168 00:07:17,188 --> 00:07:18,628 Speaker 1: not the quick starter. 169 00:07:18,748 --> 00:07:20,028 Speaker 2: He just hasn't really done it. 170 00:07:20,148 --> 00:07:23,108 Speaker 1: Jim harbut gets there immediately starts whether it's going way 171 00:07:23,148 --> 00:07:26,028 Speaker 1: back with Pete with the Jets, no, with USC, no, 172 00:07:26,508 --> 00:07:28,628 Speaker 1: even with the Seattle Seahawks they were seven to nine 173 00:07:28,708 --> 00:07:30,828 Speaker 1: ers first year. The only time he's shown up someplace 174 00:07:31,068 --> 00:07:33,468 Speaker 1: and immediately we're winning out the gate. That was with 175 00:07:33,548 --> 00:07:35,988 Speaker 1: the Patriots, but they were taking over for Parcels Super 176 00:07:35,988 --> 00:07:38,468 Speaker 1: Bowl team. This is a different story there. So I 177 00:07:38,508 --> 00:07:40,548 Speaker 1: don't think Pete Carroll is going to be there for 178 00:07:40,588 --> 00:07:44,588 Speaker 1: the next seven years. And he's going to lineup afcust titles. 179 00:07:44,988 --> 00:07:46,988 Speaker 1: We're getting the train back on the tracks. We have 180 00:07:47,108 --> 00:07:49,788 Speaker 1: solid pros and Gino and Pete, and we need some 181 00:07:49,828 --> 00:07:51,988 Speaker 1: more weapons. My god, do we need some more weapons, 182 00:07:52,068 --> 00:07:55,708 Speaker 1: especially in that division. But it feels fresh, it feels clean, 183 00:07:55,868 --> 00:07:59,588 Speaker 1: It feels responsible, it feels adults. There's no like I 184 00:07:59,628 --> 00:08:02,228 Speaker 1: don't know if Al Davis would love this because it's 185 00:08:02,268 --> 00:08:04,268 Speaker 1: not crazy and motley and. 186 00:08:04,628 --> 00:08:06,468 Speaker 2: On fire and let's burn the roof. 187 00:08:06,708 --> 00:08:10,708 Speaker 1: It's just like it's dare I say, sensible and prudent 188 00:08:11,188 --> 00:08:12,948 Speaker 1: and I think right now, for a team that hasn't 189 00:08:12,948 --> 00:08:14,788 Speaker 1: won much this decade, I think it's smart. 190 00:08:15,348 --> 00:08:17,628 Speaker 3: Okay, Well, Kyle, on that same note, right if you're 191 00:08:17,628 --> 00:08:20,308 Speaker 3: coming from a four and thirteen season, what does success 192 00:08:20,348 --> 00:08:22,588 Speaker 3: look like for them in twenty twenty five? Is an 193 00:08:22,628 --> 00:08:25,828 Speaker 3: above five hundred record? Okay, we know how tough the 194 00:08:25,868 --> 00:08:27,828 Speaker 3: AFC West is. We're not saying they're going to go 195 00:08:27,868 --> 00:08:30,668 Speaker 3: win a division title, but what is success to them? 196 00:08:30,668 --> 00:08:31,348 Speaker 7: Now? 197 00:08:32,628 --> 00:08:35,228 Speaker 1: I just can't believe we're talking. I'm ashamed of myself. 198 00:08:35,268 --> 00:08:37,708 Speaker 1: We're talking about a prudent Raiders, Like, what are we 199 00:08:37,748 --> 00:08:40,348 Speaker 1: doing it? That's what goes against the whole brand, a classy, 200 00:08:40,548 --> 00:08:45,068 Speaker 1: understated Raiders. Success looks like, frankly like, I'm just going 201 00:08:45,108 --> 00:08:47,508 Speaker 1: to have cards on the table. You put a product 202 00:08:47,508 --> 00:08:50,988 Speaker 1: out there that's not embarrassing, that's not sad. I mean 203 00:08:51,028 --> 00:08:53,188 Speaker 1: it has been four and thirteen is an embarrassing, sad 204 00:08:53,228 --> 00:08:55,908 Speaker 1: season so I will say again, if you eight and 205 00:08:56,028 --> 00:08:57,868 Speaker 1: nine on the table, you're not making the playoffs, you're 206 00:08:57,908 --> 00:08:59,828 Speaker 1: not doing anything. But in that division, you double your 207 00:08:59,828 --> 00:09:02,228 Speaker 1: win total and then we get some things going. We've 208 00:09:02,228 --> 00:09:04,988 Speaker 1: got this incredible star and the tight end. I just 209 00:09:05,028 --> 00:09:07,788 Speaker 1: think like, let's make progress. Let's make a leap this year. 210 00:09:07,828 --> 00:09:10,508 Speaker 1: Even if it's seven wins up from four. You're sitting 211 00:09:10,508 --> 00:09:13,828 Speaker 1: here like, okay, Raiders, we can trust you, we can 212 00:09:13,868 --> 00:09:15,508 Speaker 1: go back to you, we can toss you the keys 213 00:09:15,548 --> 00:09:16,788 Speaker 1: and you can drive a little bit. 214 00:09:16,988 --> 00:09:17,908 Speaker 2: It's been really rough. 215 00:09:18,068 --> 00:09:19,868 Speaker 1: So I don't like to come on here and you 216 00:09:19,908 --> 00:09:21,828 Speaker 1: guys are just getting to know me. I don't like 217 00:09:21,868 --> 00:09:23,548 Speaker 1: to say every team's gonna be the best team ever. 218 00:09:23,708 --> 00:09:25,268 Speaker 1: You can turn on any show and any something, but 219 00:09:25,308 --> 00:09:27,308 Speaker 1: they're gonna be amazing this year. I'm all, you can't 220 00:09:27,308 --> 00:09:30,188 Speaker 1: be all in on thirty two teams. I'm feeling the 221 00:09:30,268 --> 00:09:32,148 Speaker 1: Raiders right now, and I think if they were to 222 00:09:32,228 --> 00:09:34,988 Speaker 1: win seven to eight games next year, I think you sign. 223 00:09:34,868 --> 00:09:36,428 Speaker 2: Up for that right now. What do you think that's 224 00:09:36,428 --> 00:09:37,588 Speaker 2: like winning the Super Bowl? 225 00:09:37,668 --> 00:09:39,508 Speaker 4: If you're the Raiders, right, to get seven or eight 226 00:09:39,548 --> 00:09:42,548 Speaker 4: wins would be a immense achievement. 227 00:09:42,748 --> 00:09:43,428 Speaker 2: I'm just looking. 228 00:09:43,468 --> 00:09:45,708 Speaker 4: When I turn on the tape and I'm buzzing the 229 00:09:45,788 --> 00:09:49,508 Speaker 4: Raiders film, I'm seeing passion. I'm seeing guys playing for 230 00:09:49,548 --> 00:09:52,308 Speaker 4: one another. I'm starting to see the camaraderie on the 231 00:09:52,348 --> 00:09:55,268 Speaker 4: offensive line. Our double team blocks look a certain way. 232 00:09:55,428 --> 00:09:57,948 Speaker 4: I see the defensive line they're getting after. You got 233 00:09:57,988 --> 00:10:01,468 Speaker 4: Max Crosby getting in people's faces and being the condor 234 00:10:01,908 --> 00:10:04,828 Speaker 4: making those plays, getting Christian Wilkins, who you paid year, 235 00:10:04,868 --> 00:10:07,388 Speaker 4: get him rolling on the defensive line. I am not 236 00:10:07,628 --> 00:10:10,108 Speaker 4: looking for the Raiders to make a splash in this division. 237 00:10:10,268 --> 00:10:13,508 Speaker 4: I'm looking for them to set a foundation for the future. 238 00:10:13,828 --> 00:10:16,628 Speaker 4: And if you're trying to build an organization, just like 239 00:10:16,708 --> 00:10:18,868 Speaker 4: Tom Brady came in New England and what he was 240 00:10:18,908 --> 00:10:21,508 Speaker 4: able to establish in Tampa, that is what he's starting 241 00:10:21,508 --> 00:10:23,748 Speaker 4: to do right now. Let's get those cinder blocks down 242 00:10:23,948 --> 00:10:26,268 Speaker 4: and start building for the Raiders team that is going 243 00:10:26,348 --> 00:10:28,668 Speaker 4: to compete in the AFC West. You have to look 244 00:10:28,708 --> 00:10:31,308 Speaker 4: you have Patrick Mahomes in your division. You have to 245 00:10:31,348 --> 00:10:34,108 Speaker 4: have a long horizon when you're looking to build in 246 00:10:34,108 --> 00:10:36,668 Speaker 4: the AFC West. And that's what the Raiders are starting 247 00:10:36,668 --> 00:10:38,988 Speaker 4: to do right now. And there's gonna be a piece 248 00:10:39,388 --> 00:10:41,348 Speaker 4: that's coming later on the show. I'm gonna be picking 249 00:10:41,348 --> 00:10:42,908 Speaker 4: a piece to add to this team. 250 00:10:43,068 --> 00:10:44,948 Speaker 2: Yeah, come on, now, I got. 251 00:10:44,748 --> 00:10:47,588 Speaker 4: The Raiders today on the show. I have some inside 252 00:10:47,588 --> 00:10:50,428 Speaker 4: scoop itch here. I can't give away too much this yet. 253 00:10:50,428 --> 00:10:52,108 Speaker 4: I don't want to let you guys in this on 254 00:10:52,148 --> 00:10:54,588 Speaker 4: this secret just yet, so we'll stay tuned for that one. 255 00:10:54,668 --> 00:10:57,468 Speaker 2: He's been texting with Brady before the show. So let 256 00:10:57,508 --> 00:10:57,948 Speaker 2: me let me do. 257 00:10:58,068 --> 00:11:00,348 Speaker 1: Get out of here, Isaiah, get in here. We're all 258 00:11:00,428 --> 00:11:01,948 Speaker 1: we're all kind of saying the same thing, Isaiah. 259 00:11:01,988 --> 00:11:02,508 Speaker 2: No shit. 260 00:11:02,588 --> 00:11:05,228 Speaker 1: It's like if they made some improvement that would be nice. 261 00:11:05,428 --> 00:11:07,508 Speaker 1: Are you gonna go bigger? Or where are you laying? 262 00:11:07,508 --> 00:11:09,428 Speaker 6: You know what I come from the stands of I 263 00:11:09,468 --> 00:11:11,668 Speaker 6: believe that every team needs to have an identity, yep. 264 00:11:11,748 --> 00:11:13,908 Speaker 6: And I don't believe that the Raiders have an identity 265 00:11:13,988 --> 00:11:15,788 Speaker 6: right now. Obviously, Kyle, you alluded to it a little 266 00:11:15,788 --> 00:11:17,668 Speaker 6: bit in terms of how they are always a wild card. 267 00:11:17,748 --> 00:11:19,868 Speaker 6: They're probably gonna grab the fastest player in the draft 268 00:11:19,868 --> 00:11:22,108 Speaker 6: every single year. I don't I'm not looking for that. 269 00:11:22,188 --> 00:11:24,188 Speaker 6: I'm not looking for them to be five hundred. I'm 270 00:11:24,188 --> 00:11:27,028 Speaker 6: looking for them to have to make some noise and 271 00:11:27,068 --> 00:11:29,548 Speaker 6: be a disruptor within their division, because if you have 272 00:11:29,708 --> 00:11:32,348 Speaker 6: any kind of hopes for making the playoffs, you have 273 00:11:32,428 --> 00:11:34,788 Speaker 6: to be competitive in your division. And we know this 274 00:11:34,828 --> 00:11:36,988 Speaker 6: is probably one of the most competitive divisions in the 275 00:11:36,988 --> 00:11:39,268 Speaker 6: game of football. We just talked about the coaches that 276 00:11:39,268 --> 00:11:42,308 Speaker 6: they have in this division. That's absolutely insane. They're all vents, 277 00:11:42,308 --> 00:11:44,548 Speaker 6: they're all really great, They've all been Super Bowls, won 278 00:11:44,628 --> 00:11:45,148 Speaker 6: Super Bowls. 279 00:11:45,308 --> 00:11:46,708 Speaker 2: So if you can get in there. 280 00:11:46,548 --> 00:11:49,948 Speaker 6: And disrupt things and make those games competitive while building 281 00:11:50,028 --> 00:11:52,148 Speaker 6: up the foundation, as you guys mentioned of your team 282 00:11:52,388 --> 00:11:54,668 Speaker 6: last year was a great step in terms of brock Bowers. 283 00:11:54,748 --> 00:11:57,348 Speaker 6: You're number one overall that you brought in, You built 284 00:11:57,428 --> 00:11:59,988 Speaker 6: him up. Now he's he's made a splash on the scene. 285 00:12:00,108 --> 00:12:01,908 Speaker 6: Now who else can you bring in? You brought in 286 00:12:01,948 --> 00:12:03,828 Speaker 6: Geno Smith, the kind of steady of the seas so 287 00:12:03,908 --> 00:12:06,028 Speaker 6: that it's not as rocky when you guys get going. 288 00:12:06,188 --> 00:12:08,468 Speaker 6: But who can you bring in to have an impact 289 00:12:08,588 --> 00:12:11,868 Speaker 6: and can you create a culture within that organization After 290 00:12:11,868 --> 00:12:14,188 Speaker 6: bringing into Pete Carroll, after bringing in a Chip Kelly, 291 00:12:14,228 --> 00:12:16,628 Speaker 6: after bringing in to Tom Brady, can these guys get 292 00:12:16,668 --> 00:12:18,588 Speaker 6: an identity so that you know who you're going to 293 00:12:18,628 --> 00:12:22,468 Speaker 6: see on film? Every single Sunday, Thursday, Saturday. 294 00:12:22,108 --> 00:12:25,388 Speaker 3: Monday, International Games, Friday, every day of the weekend at 295 00:12:25,388 --> 00:12:28,028 Speaker 3: this point. But it seems like the consensus is we 296 00:12:28,228 --> 00:12:30,428 Speaker 3: like this move for Vegas. There's a lot of excitement, 297 00:12:30,508 --> 00:12:31,828 Speaker 3: maybe some good synergy there. 298 00:12:36,108 --> 00:12:38,388 Speaker 1: All right, welcome back to Good Morning Football.

It is a 315 00:13:15,508 --> 00:13:19,948 Speaker 1: mind blowing achievement given where you stack amongst legends, guys 316 00:13:19,948 --> 00:13:25,108 Speaker 1: that we've watched Michael Irvin, Santana Moss, Andre Johnson, Reggie 317 00:13:25,148 --> 00:13:28,908 Speaker 1: Wayne like all time NFL legends looking up at you. 318 00:13:28,948 --> 00:13:30,828 Speaker 2: And by the way, it's not even really close. 319 00:13:30,908 --> 00:13:33,228 Speaker 1: You said a good three hundred yards on Santana and 320 00:13:33,268 --> 00:13:36,308 Speaker 1: we love him.

So 326 00:13:52,628 --> 00:13:54,868 Speaker 8: I mean again, I could have done it without an 327 00:13:54,868 --> 00:13:57,628 Speaker 8: amazing team. We obviously have the best player in the 328 00:13:57,708 --> 00:14:00,308 Speaker 8: nation as our quarterback, so that helps a little bit too. 329 00:14:01,188 --> 00:14:04,628 Speaker 8: But I mean again, great group of guys, and I 330 00:14:04,668 --> 00:14:07,388 Speaker 8: feel like the most important thing is is those guys 331 00:14:07,428 --> 00:14:10,108 Speaker 8: that I did pass on the record books, they always 332 00:14:10,108 --> 00:14:12,028 Speaker 8: come back and give me some words, you know, So 333 00:14:12,348 --> 00:14:15,308 Speaker 8: it's not the first time I'm hearing you know what 334 00:14:15,388 --> 00:14:17,788 Speaker 8: I need to hear.

You know that, 344 00:14:44,788 --> 00:14:47,868 Speaker 8: you know, just keep working, keep your head down, and 345 00:14:48,108 --> 00:14:50,308 Speaker 8: you'll prevail either way. You know, whatever is meant for 346 00:14:50,348 --> 00:14:52,508 Speaker 8: you is meant for you. The process is going to 347 00:14:52,508 --> 00:14:55,348 Speaker 8: be the process, and just keep on pushing and never 348 00:14:55,428 --> 00:14:55,748 Speaker 8: let up. 349 00:14:55,788 --> 00:14:57,588 Speaker 2: You know, it's great. 350 00:14:57,948 --> 00:15:00,548 Speaker 4: Exavier outside of the U. You've impressed guys like Steve 351 00:15:00,588 --> 00:15:03,068 Speaker 4: Smith senior. But there's always going to be critics. When 352 00:15:03,068 --> 00:15:04,828 Speaker 4: I was coming out, it was I had at arms. 353 00:15:04,868 --> 00:15:06,868 Speaker 4: They flagged me at the Senior Bowl. How do you 354 00:15:07,028 --> 00:15:09,588 Speaker 4: deal with critics? It didn't stop me. I played eleven 355 00:15:09,628 --> 00:15:12,268 Speaker 4: years in the league. How have you handled the critics? 356 00:15:13,428 --> 00:15:15,868 Speaker 8: I mean, I've been battling through that my whole entire life. 357 00:15:15,908 --> 00:15:18,188 Speaker 8: So it's kind of like in my DNA already enough. 358 00:15:18,308 --> 00:15:21,068 Speaker 8: So the good thing is that I don't try to 359 00:15:21,188 --> 00:15:23,868 Speaker 8: prove people wrong or be a perfect been wrong. I 360 00:15:23,988 --> 00:15:26,548 Speaker 8: try to prove myself right. I am also a man 361 00:15:26,588 --> 00:15:28,948 Speaker 8: of faith, so I leave everything up to the man 362 00:15:28,988 --> 00:15:31,228 Speaker 8: above and just control what I could control. 363 00:15:31,268 --> 00:15:34,868 Speaker 6: You know, I love it, Exavier, listen, man, you and 364 00:15:35,068 --> 00:15:37,468 Speaker 6: cam Ward absolutely killed it in Miami. 365 00:15:37,508 --> 00:15:37,868 Speaker 2: Obviously. 366 00:15:37,868 --> 00:15:39,708 Speaker 6: In order to have that was those kind of numbers 367 00:15:39,828 --> 00:15:42,228 Speaker 6: and be at the top of the rankings there in Miami, 368 00:15:42,268 --> 00:15:45,188 Speaker 6: you guys had some crazy chemistry. However, we've heard all 369 00:15:45,188 --> 00:15:46,548 Speaker 6: the great things about cam Ward. 370 00:15:46,588 --> 00:15:48,148 Speaker 2: We've seen all the film. We know what you guys 371 00:15:48,188 --> 00:15:48,508 Speaker 2: have done. 372 00:15:48,668 --> 00:15:50,988 Speaker 6: But tell us something that we haven't heard and we 373 00:15:51,068 --> 00:15:52,548 Speaker 6: don't know about cam Ward. 374 00:15:52,548 --> 00:15:53,428 Speaker 2: Give us a little insight. 375 00:15:55,068 --> 00:16:01,308 Speaker 8: He's the worst fisherman that I know. He always tends 376 00:16:01,348 --> 00:16:03,628 Speaker 8: that he's a good fisherman, but I mean, i've seen 377 00:16:03,708 --> 00:16:07,308 Speaker 8: him catch one fish probably, so he has a lot 378 00:16:07,308 --> 00:16:09,188 Speaker 8: of work to do. He has a lot of work 379 00:16:09,228 --> 00:16:09,468 Speaker 8: to do. 380 00:16:09,668 --> 00:16:14,748 Speaker 3: Oh my god, the shade to cam already. But cam 381 00:16:15,028 --> 00:16:18,348 Speaker 3: he's a competitor, all right, Let's take a look at 382 00:16:18,428 --> 00:16:21,708 Speaker 3: him throwing a little bit of shade at shotoor sayers. 383 00:16:21,748 --> 00:16:22,908 Speaker 3: I'm getting a little messy here. 384 00:16:23,988 --> 00:16:27,908 Speaker 7: You know, water, we just had the first drill. Oh 385 00:16:27,948 --> 00:16:30,228 Speaker 7: that's how you feel to get water. We ain't even 386 00:16:30,268 --> 00:16:35,268 Speaker 7: know the first drill's that's there's Colorado beside the He 387 00:16:35,348 --> 00:16:36,788 Speaker 7: was like, but not we mere. 388 00:16:38,188 --> 00:16:40,228 Speaker 3: It may not be a good fisherman, but he is 389 00:16:40,268 --> 00:16:42,468 Speaker 3: a good trash talker. What do you think of his 390 00:16:42,588 --> 00:16:44,508 Speaker 3: skills not only on the football field, but you know, 391 00:16:44,828 --> 00:16:46,828 Speaker 3: talking a little snack, he says, you gotta have some fun. 392 00:16:47,708 --> 00:16:50,028 Speaker 8: Well, yeah, no, I mean I think the most impressive 393 00:16:50,068 --> 00:16:52,508 Speaker 8: thing and the funniest thing to me is that's not 394 00:16:52,548 --> 00:16:54,668 Speaker 8: how he is just on camera, you know, That's how 395 00:16:54,668 --> 00:16:56,828 Speaker 8: he is every single day of his life. You know, 396 00:16:57,108 --> 00:17:00,428 Speaker 8: whether somebody walks into film two minutes late. Oh, his 397 00:17:00,508 --> 00:17:02,428 Speaker 8: favorite thing is do you want your name in the paper? 398 00:17:02,628 --> 00:17:06,508 Speaker 8: That's his favorite little quote, or frail during the season. So, 399 00:17:07,068 --> 00:17:10,108 Speaker 8: I mean, again, trash talking comes with him. But I 400 00:17:10,108 --> 00:17:12,588 Speaker 8: mean he's a very confident human being. And I mean 401 00:17:12,628 --> 00:17:15,068 Speaker 8: if I put in as much work, which I do, 402 00:17:15,148 --> 00:17:16,708 Speaker 8: but if you know, if I was somebody else and 403 00:17:16,708 --> 00:17:19,108 Speaker 8: I would put as much work and as much time 404 00:17:19,188 --> 00:17:22,148 Speaker 8: into my craft as possible like he does, I mean, 405 00:17:22,188 --> 00:17:23,708 Speaker 8: you could be as confident as you want because you 406 00:17:23,708 --> 00:17:24,308 Speaker 8: could back it up. 407 00:17:24,428 --> 00:17:26,908 Speaker 6: Hey, that's right, speaking of backing it up eas Ever, 408 00:17:26,988 --> 00:17:29,268 Speaker 6: you just threw some shade at your QB about his 409 00:17:29,388 --> 00:17:30,628 Speaker 6: lack of fishing skills. 410 00:17:30,828 --> 00:17:31,868 Speaker 2: We saw a picture at you. 411 00:17:31,868 --> 00:17:33,268 Speaker 6: You had, you had, you had, you had your head 412 00:17:33,308 --> 00:17:34,748 Speaker 6: your shirt off.

I don't know how much away, but 421 00:17:54,988 --> 00:17:58,628 Speaker 8: it was. It was bigger than me probably, But I mean, yeah, 422 00:17:59,388 --> 00:18:02,428 Speaker 8: we didn't really go deep deep sea fishing just because 423 00:18:02,508 --> 00:18:04,348 Speaker 8: the waters were rough. It was like a lot of 424 00:18:04,468 --> 00:18:08,668 Speaker 8: wind or whatever. But I mean, yeah, I got definitely 425 00:18:08,668 --> 00:18:10,628 Speaker 8: bigger fishing camp.

And the 513 00:22:14,988 --> 00:22:16,628 Speaker 9: last two time sophomore. 514 00:22:16,468 --> 00:22:18,508 Speaker 2: I might have whooping. How you going up big? 515 00:22:22,588 --> 00:22:26,308 Speaker 9: The NFL draft means a lot to me and my family. 516 00:22:26,948 --> 00:22:30,268 Speaker 9: It'll be some bettersweet emotions. I just spent that time 517 00:22:30,308 --> 00:22:32,908 Speaker 9: with my family and we just have fun being ready 518 00:22:32,908 --> 00:22:36,748 Speaker 9: to get to my next destination. Hopefully I'll get to 519 00:22:36,788 --> 00:22:38,028 Speaker 9: get the first person off the board. 520 00:22:41,668 --> 00:22:44,628 Speaker 3: For more on Travis Hunter, let's welcome in NFL Network 521 00:22:44,668 --> 00:22:48,308 Speaker 3: insider Mike Garafolo. Mike, what are you hearing about Hunter's 522 00:22:48,508 --> 00:22:49,148 Speaker 3: draft stock? 523 00:22:49,948 --> 00:22:52,628 Speaker 10: Yes, Travis Hunter definitely in the mix here. We'll call 524 00:22:52,628 --> 00:22:54,708 Speaker 10: it the top three, right like We just can't see 525 00:22:54,748 --> 00:22:58,148 Speaker 10: any world where he gets past the Giants, but we 526 00:22:58,188 --> 00:22:59,708 Speaker 10: shall see what you say, how plays out. I know 527 00:22:59,708 --> 00:23:02,068 Speaker 10: there's a lot of buzz right now that he is 528 00:23:02,108 --> 00:23:04,868 Speaker 10: in line to be the Browns pick at No. Number two, 529 00:23:05,068 --> 00:23:07,788 Speaker 10: because the Browns were out in full force in Colorado 530 00:23:07,828 --> 00:23:09,868 Speaker 10: at the Pro day last week and had dinner with. 531 00:23:09,868 --> 00:23:12,148 Speaker 2: Him and Sidor Sanders. Yeah. 532 00:23:12,188 --> 00:23:15,028 Speaker 10: I mean, listen, we've heard now the Browns we're going 533 00:23:15,068 --> 00:23:15,748 Speaker 10: to go quarterback. 534 00:23:15,828 --> 00:23:17,748 Speaker 2: Then we heard that they were locked in on Abdul Carter. 535 00:23:18,028 --> 00:23:19,468 Speaker 2: Then we're here and they're locked in on Travis. 536 00:23:19,908 --> 00:23:23,188 Speaker 10: It's the draft nobody knows, which is why you should 537 00:23:23,188 --> 00:23:26,068 Speaker 10: tune into the draft in two weeks from Thursday here 538 00:23:26,108 --> 00:23:28,908 Speaker 10: on NFL Network eight pm Eastern and everything we're going 539 00:23:28,988 --> 00:23:30,668 Speaker 10: to be doing earlier in the day as well. But 540 00:23:30,788 --> 00:23:33,188 Speaker 10: Travis Hunter is a guy that a lot of teams 541 00:23:33,228 --> 00:23:37,628 Speaker 10: are seeing as a valuable cornerback that could also play 542 00:23:37,668 --> 00:23:39,348 Speaker 10: wide receiver. I mean, I'm hearing that from a lot 543 00:23:39,348 --> 00:23:41,188 Speaker 10: of teams. They think that that's where the value is. 544 00:23:41,268 --> 00:23:43,348 Speaker 10: One Hunter, the fact that he ran routes the other 545 00:23:43,428 --> 00:23:46,508 Speaker 10: day for Sanders as he was throwing, obviously wanted to 546 00:23:46,508 --> 00:23:49,108 Speaker 10: be there for him. And support him, but also certainly 547 00:23:49,148 --> 00:23:51,188 Speaker 10: shows his interest in playing on that side of the ball. 548 00:23:51,388 --> 00:23:53,388 Speaker 2: You know, I talked to the teams about the plan 549 00:23:53,468 --> 00:23:53,748 Speaker 2: going in. 550 00:23:53,828 --> 00:23:55,948 Speaker 10: It's not like free agency where you're signing a guy 551 00:23:55,948 --> 00:23:58,148 Speaker 10: for a specific role. It's we're going to get him 552 00:23:58,148 --> 00:24:00,028 Speaker 10: in the building, and then we're sort of going to 553 00:24:00,068 --> 00:24:02,428 Speaker 10: figure out exactly where and how much to play him 554 00:24:02,548 --> 00:24:04,188 Speaker 10: on either side of the ball. I know they think 555 00:24:04,228 --> 00:24:07,188 Speaker 10: that it might be tough, more from a mental standpoint 556 00:24:07,188 --> 00:24:10,268 Speaker 10: than a physical standpoint, to play full time on both 557 00:24:10,308 --> 00:24:12,628 Speaker 10: sides of the football. But obviously this is a guy 558 00:24:12,668 --> 00:24:14,948 Speaker 10: that's going to contribute on both sides and a guy 559 00:24:14,988 --> 00:24:16,868 Speaker 10: that teams are going to love to get in the building. 560 00:24:16,868 --> 00:24:18,228 Speaker 10: But only a couple teams are gonna have a shot 561 00:24:18,268 --> 00:24:20,348 Speaker 10: at him, Kimmy, because we're looking at him obviously as 562 00:24:20,388 --> 00:24:21,948 Speaker 10: a top three draft pick. 563 00:24:21,868 --> 00:24:23,748 Speaker 2: Perhaps to the Browns. We'll let you know in a 564 00:24:23,788 --> 00:24:26,388 Speaker 2: couple of weeks. Tune in. You don't know, you're an insider. 565 00:24:26,388 --> 00:24:30,228 Speaker 3: You're supposed to know exactly war every single draft prospecttion. 566 00:24:29,868 --> 00:24:30,908 Speaker 2: Is going the draft. 567 00:24:31,308 --> 00:24:35,068 Speaker 10: Nobody knows anything until the draft starts, okay, and. 568 00:24:34,988 --> 00:24:36,628 Speaker 3: You get to tune it in two weeks to see 569 00:24:36,628 --> 00:24:39,108 Speaker 3: that Mike gi No One and better as always, thanks 570 00:24:39,108 --> 00:24:41,868 Speaker 3: for rocking with us this morning. Now, new sound speaking 571 00:24:41,908 --> 00:24:45,108 Speaker 3: of Travis Hunter came in overnight where he's saying he 572 00:24:45,228 --> 00:24:49,148 Speaker 3: thinks he actually could play every snap in an NFL game. 573 00:24:49,228 --> 00:24:52,748 Speaker 2: Let's take a listen. What are you at the next level? Both? 574 00:24:52,868 --> 00:24:54,548 Speaker 9: Just like you saw me play, you. 575 00:24:54,628 --> 00:24:56,988 Speaker 11: Want to do both? How many snaps in a football game? 576 00:24:56,988 --> 00:24:59,388 Speaker 11: Can you play all of them? If they give me 577 00:24:59,468 --> 00:25:00,908 Speaker 11: a chance and an opportunity to do it? 578 00:25:02,548 --> 00:25:05,588 Speaker 2: And so we were talking about the challenges that come 579 00:25:05,628 --> 00:25:05,828 Speaker 2: with it. 580 00:25:05,868 --> 00:25:07,548 Speaker 11: You got to be in offensive meetings, you got to 581 00:25:07,548 --> 00:25:09,148 Speaker 11: be in defensive meetings, you got to be in wide 582 00:25:09,188 --> 00:25:11,228 Speaker 11: receiver meetings, you got to be in defensive back meetings. 583 00:25:11,748 --> 00:25:14,508 Speaker 11: How is there enough time to do all that? How 584 00:25:14,548 --> 00:25:16,388 Speaker 11: did you prepare for that when you played college? 585 00:25:16,428 --> 00:25:18,348 Speaker 9: Well, we kind of got twenty four hours in a day. 586 00:25:18,388 --> 00:25:20,108 Speaker 9: We probably sleep for by eight of ville, So he's 587 00:25:20,108 --> 00:25:20,668 Speaker 9: probably got. 588 00:25:20,708 --> 00:25:23,108 Speaker 2: Sixteen more that. 589 00:25:23,188 --> 00:25:25,628 Speaker 9: I'm medicated to those, I'm dedicated to football. 590 00:25:26,788 --> 00:25:29,228 Speaker 3: I like Travis Hunter more and more every single time 591 00:25:29,388 --> 00:25:30,908 Speaker 3: I hear him speak. It was an honor to meet 592 00:25:30,948 --> 00:25:34,188 Speaker 3: him at the Combine and see kind of his swag 593 00:25:34,228 --> 00:25:36,588 Speaker 3: and his confidence that he can play on both sides 594 00:25:36,668 --> 00:25:38,748 Speaker 3: of the ball, Isaiah, are you buying in on that 595 00:25:39,068 --> 00:25:41,708 Speaker 3: he is being touted as the generational talent of this 596 00:25:41,788 --> 00:25:42,548 Speaker 3: year's draft class? 597 00:25:42,588 --> 00:25:44,708 Speaker 6: Iop trying to put limits on this man. 598 00:25:44,948 --> 00:25:47,628 Speaker 2: He's an absolute beast. We haven't seen this. 599 00:25:47,988 --> 00:25:50,868 Speaker 6: Stop trying to compare him to what you have known 600 00:25:51,108 --> 00:25:53,548 Speaker 6: to it to be. He is not human. He's not 601 00:25:53,628 --> 00:25:56,308 Speaker 6: of this earth, So let him be. I can relate 602 00:25:56,348 --> 00:25:58,628 Speaker 6: to him in some regard. When I first got into 603 00:25:58,628 --> 00:26:00,908 Speaker 6: the league, I got drafted as a receiver. I played 604 00:26:00,948 --> 00:26:03,908 Speaker 6: quarterback in college. When I left Dallas Cowboys after playing 605 00:26:03,908 --> 00:26:04,908 Speaker 6: the air a couple ye as, I went to the 606 00:26:04,948 --> 00:26:07,508 Speaker 6: New England Patriots as a quarterback. I was in the 607 00:26:07,588 --> 00:26:10,228 Speaker 6: quarterback meetings, I was in the receiver meetings, and I 608 00:26:10,268 --> 00:26:11,548 Speaker 6: was in the special teams meetings. 609 00:26:11,668 --> 00:26:13,468 Speaker 2: As he said, there's enough time in the day. 610 00:26:13,708 --> 00:26:16,988 Speaker 6: It's the same playbook, right, So he's capable of doing it. 611 00:26:17,188 --> 00:26:19,788 Speaker 6: He's physically capable. Allowed a man to go out there 612 00:26:19,828 --> 00:26:22,108 Speaker 6: and do it. Now, if he was in the trenches, 613 00:26:22,188 --> 00:26:24,348 Speaker 6: it would be a totally different conversation for me, because 614 00:26:24,348 --> 00:26:26,788 Speaker 6: now he's in up there, he's hating every single play. 615 00:26:27,028 --> 00:26:29,068 Speaker 6: The physical demands on his body is going to be 616 00:26:29,148 --> 00:26:31,948 Speaker 6: higher than him. Just being out there in space is 617 00:26:32,028 --> 00:26:34,588 Speaker 6: not going to be as dramatic. It's all about cardiovascular 618 00:26:34,668 --> 00:26:37,468 Speaker 6: and muscular endurance versus actual injury in terms of the 619 00:26:37,508 --> 00:26:39,668 Speaker 6: physical contact that's going to call out leave. 620 00:26:40,748 --> 00:26:42,708 Speaker 4: I actually had a chance to sit down with Travis 621 00:26:42,788 --> 00:26:45,708 Speaker 4: Hunter right after he won the Heisman, and this man 622 00:26:45,788 --> 00:26:49,828 Speaker 4: had every trophy sitting behind him on his bed, calm, cool, collected. 623 00:26:50,068 --> 00:26:51,068 Speaker 2: I tried to get it out of him. 624 00:26:51,068 --> 00:26:54,028 Speaker 4: I said, Travis, which position would you rather play? And 625 00:26:54,068 --> 00:26:56,588 Speaker 4: he said, there isn't one. I am a unicorn. I 626 00:26:56,588 --> 00:26:58,228 Speaker 4: am a one of one, and I'm going to go 627 00:26:58,268 --> 00:27:00,028 Speaker 4: out there and prove it to the world. Now, my 628 00:27:00,188 --> 00:27:03,428 Speaker 4: question is, when you sit down to negotiate that second 629 00:27:03,428 --> 00:27:05,828 Speaker 4: contract and you're saying, hey, I'm a lockdown defensive back 630 00:27:05,868 --> 00:27:08,428 Speaker 4: and I'm your number one Ryde receiver. Is this man 631 00:27:08,508 --> 00:27:10,988 Speaker 4: going to get like a seventy million dollar contract if 632 00:27:10,988 --> 00:27:13,988 Speaker 4: you're playing for both times both. I've never seen a 633 00:27:14,028 --> 00:27:15,948 Speaker 4: contract negotiated that way, So what if. 634 00:27:15,828 --> 00:27:17,948 Speaker 2: I neverranchised tech and what position is it? 635 00:27:18,108 --> 00:27:20,108 Speaker 4: Well, the receivers are making more money right now. 636 00:27:19,988 --> 00:27:21,308 Speaker 2: So I would say, hey, you have to do that. 637 00:27:21,428 --> 00:27:24,868 Speaker 4: He will have a unique designation next to his name, 638 00:27:25,228 --> 00:27:28,948 Speaker 4: it'll be Travis Hunter, Unicorn, Colorado, and that's the. 639 00:27:28,868 --> 00:27:32,188 Speaker 2: Way we have to establish it. But he is a. 640 00:27:31,588 --> 00:27:34,428 Speaker 4: Amazing human being. Getting a chance to talk to him 641 00:27:34,428 --> 00:27:37,108 Speaker 4: and see what he's about, his story, his humble beginnings, 642 00:27:37,148 --> 00:27:38,868 Speaker 4: the fishing. I didn't know we were going to have 643 00:27:38,948 --> 00:27:41,628 Speaker 4: a phishing exhibition here on the show today. But if 644 00:27:41,628 --> 00:27:44,028 Speaker 4: you fish, you can play receiver in the NFL. 645 00:27:44,508 --> 00:27:45,228 Speaker 2: I probably should have. 646 00:27:45,188 --> 00:27:46,988 Speaker 4: Done that earlier on. I wouldn't have to block Aaron 647 00:27:47,028 --> 00:27:47,948 Speaker 4: Donald all the time. 648 00:27:48,588 --> 00:27:51,028 Speaker 1: Well, I think it's interesting you're talking about like a 649 00:27:51,068 --> 00:27:52,788 Speaker 1: contract extension, which is fun to think about. 650 00:27:52,988 --> 00:27:54,348 Speaker 2: I think about way before that. 651 00:27:54,748 --> 00:27:57,868 Speaker 1: So when he shows up to rookie camp and we 652 00:27:57,948 --> 00:28:00,628 Speaker 1: have our first meetings, does he go to the wide 653 00:28:00,708 --> 00:28:02,308 Speaker 1: receiver room or the cornerback room. 654 00:28:02,468 --> 00:28:04,068 Speaker 2: I'm actually asking because. 655 00:28:03,828 --> 00:28:05,908 Speaker 1: All these coach up at the top, they hem and 656 00:28:05,988 --> 00:28:08,068 Speaker 1: haw about Travis this and Travis that, what they're going 657 00:28:08,108 --> 00:28:09,868 Speaker 1: to do with him. But someone is going to draft 658 00:28:09,948 --> 00:28:12,868 Speaker 1: him in a couple weeks, and someone ostensibly is going 659 00:28:12,908 --> 00:28:14,988 Speaker 1: to have a very specific plan about what they want 660 00:28:15,028 --> 00:28:17,028 Speaker 1: to do with them. They're not going to figure it out. 661 00:28:17,028 --> 00:28:20,428 Speaker 1: They're going to say he's a full time cornerback and 662 00:28:20,468 --> 00:28:22,748 Speaker 1: he's going to contribute a wide receiver, or maybe he's 663 00:28:22,788 --> 00:28:22,948 Speaker 1: just a. 664 00:28:22,908 --> 00:28:24,628 Speaker 2: Full time cornerback. We're not going to play him. 665 00:28:24,948 --> 00:28:27,828 Speaker 1: I think what's interesting is if let's say he goes 666 00:28:27,868 --> 00:28:31,668 Speaker 1: to Cleveland and plays corner. Is it awkward that he, 667 00:28:31,908 --> 00:28:33,828 Speaker 1: like the best wide receiver on their team, is not 668 00:28:33,868 --> 00:28:34,668 Speaker 1: playing wide receiver. 669 00:28:34,788 --> 00:28:35,908 Speaker 2: Is he better than Jerry Judy? 670 00:28:35,988 --> 00:28:38,348 Speaker 1: I don't know, But what if the offense isn't working 671 00:28:38,348 --> 00:28:40,028 Speaker 1: and you're having a guy over there play corner and 672 00:28:40,028 --> 00:28:42,828 Speaker 1: it's like we've drafted this guy, get him on wide receiver, 673 00:28:42,908 --> 00:28:44,308 Speaker 1: but he's playing really well in corner. 674 00:28:44,348 --> 00:28:44,988 Speaker 2: I'll go again. 675 00:28:45,508 --> 00:28:49,348 Speaker 1: Let's go he goes to New England, he plays corner 676 00:28:49,388 --> 00:28:51,708 Speaker 1: for Mike Vrabel. Is he better than thirty one year 677 00:28:51,748 --> 00:28:53,428 Speaker 1: old Steffan Biggs Adam? 678 00:28:53,468 --> 00:28:54,228 Speaker 2: Maybe? Probably? 679 00:28:54,308 --> 00:28:56,588 Speaker 1: I don't know, but it's weird if he's not out 680 00:28:56,628 --> 00:28:59,188 Speaker 1: there and you have this guy sitting there just playing 681 00:28:59,268 --> 00:29:02,148 Speaker 1: one position and maybe you're not winning and maybe Drake 682 00:29:02,188 --> 00:29:04,308 Speaker 1: May is not succeeding. 683 00:29:04,668 --> 00:29:06,588 Speaker 2: You have to get him out there. It becomes awkward. 684 00:29:06,868 --> 00:29:09,028 Speaker 1: And if the opposite is true too, if he's lighting 685 00:29:09,108 --> 00:29:11,148 Speaker 1: it up at wide receiver and your defense can't stop 686 00:29:11,188 --> 00:29:13,508 Speaker 1: anybody from throwing the ball. You're like, well, Dad, we 687 00:29:13,588 --> 00:29:16,548 Speaker 1: got a hundred there put in the corner. It's so good. 688 00:29:16,788 --> 00:29:19,788 Speaker 1: It's not just that he cameos. He's the best defensive 689 00:29:19,788 --> 00:29:22,268 Speaker 1: back and the best wide receiver in the draft, and 690 00:29:22,308 --> 00:29:23,948 Speaker 1: you have to find a way to get him both. 691 00:29:24,028 --> 00:29:25,228 Speaker 2: I'll say it for the last time. 692 00:29:25,388 --> 00:29:26,948 Speaker 1: I think the best fit for him to do both 693 00:29:26,988 --> 00:29:28,988 Speaker 1: is New England because of their coaching staff and how much. 694 00:29:28,908 --> 00:29:29,708 Speaker 2: They need weapons. 695 00:29:29,828 --> 00:29:31,508 Speaker 1: I hope he goes number four, just because I want 696 00:29:31,508 --> 00:29:32,868 Speaker 1: to see him do it, you know what. 697 00:29:32,908 --> 00:29:34,548 Speaker 6: Comments to add a little bit on here, just because 698 00:29:34,588 --> 00:29:36,468 Speaker 6: I know we're talking about how he's going to be divided, 699 00:29:36,708 --> 00:29:40,068 Speaker 6: meeting times, meeting space. Yeah, he's a smart kid, right, 700 00:29:40,108 --> 00:29:43,068 Speaker 6: It's not just the glasses. In high school, he had 701 00:29:43,108 --> 00:29:45,748 Speaker 6: a sixteen hundred SAT score. In high school, he had 702 00:29:45,748 --> 00:29:48,348 Speaker 6: a four point zero GPA. In college he has a 703 00:29:48,428 --> 00:29:52,068 Speaker 6: three point nine GPA and he's an anthropology major. I think 704 00:29:52,068 --> 00:29:54,948 Speaker 6: he can handle the psychological and the mental capacity aspect 705 00:29:55,028 --> 00:29:56,588 Speaker 6: of this as well as. 706 00:29:56,388 --> 00:29:58,588 Speaker 2: We know he can handle the physical. So let the 707 00:29:58,668 --> 00:30:00,148 Speaker 2: man be Let him do what he does. 708 00:30:00,228 --> 00:30:02,668 Speaker 6: As he said, don't put an atch next to him, 709 00:30:03,028 --> 00:30:05,508 Speaker 6: put the unicor the you next to him, because that's 710 00:30:05,548 --> 00:30:06,228 Speaker 6: second what he is. 711 00:30:06,988 --> 00:30:09,988 Speaker 3: Now we're playing up a GPAs Kyle, the Princeton of 712 00:30:10,068 --> 00:30:11,988 Speaker 3: it all. I mean, this kid, this kid could have 713 00:30:12,028 --> 00:30:13,548 Speaker 3: rocked it with you in the ivy leagues too. 714 00:30:14,948 --> 00:30:16,948 Speaker 2: He would have done very well there. Believe me. 715 00:30:17,988 --> 00:30:19,788 Speaker 1: He would have made a lot of plays in the 716 00:30:19,908 --> 00:30:21,628 Speaker 1: nineties Ivy League when I was there. 717 00:30:21,748 --> 00:30:24,748 Speaker 2: Believe me, he's doing. He made the right choice. Believe me. 718 00:30:24,788 --> 00:30:27,468 Speaker 3: If he wasn't a generational talent now you mean nineties 719 00:30:27,508 --> 00:30:29,868 Speaker 3: Princeton Ivy League football, he would have blown him away. 720 00:30:31,348 --> 00:30:31,948 Speaker 2: Yeah, he would have. 721 00:30:32,028 --> 00:30:35,188 Speaker 1: He would have picked off Fitzpatrick several times, probably at 722 00:30:35,188 --> 00:30:36,308 Speaker 1: Harvard when they played him. 723 00:30:36,348 --> 00:30:37,868 Speaker 2: So I'm glad. I think he ended up in the 724 00:30:37,908 --> 00:30:38,388 Speaker 2: right place. 725 00:30:38,628 --> 00:30:40,468 Speaker 1: I just hope he's g goes on the East Coast 726 00:30:40,468 --> 00:30:42,148 Speaker 1: in the NFL and goes to Massachusetts. 727 00:30:42,148 --> 00:30:43,748 Speaker 2: I want him to be a Patriot. I'm ready for it.
