Speaker 1: Here we are off the Edge with Cam Jordans Man.

2
00:00:08,080 --> 00:00:10,520
Speaker 2: I'm grace with the presidence.

3
00:00:10,160 --> 00:00:11,840
Speaker 1: Of a guy from Louisiana.

4
00:00:12,400 --> 00:00:14,920
Speaker 2: I swear he was from New Orleans and found out

5
00:00:14,960 --> 00:00:15,920
Speaker 2: he's from the West Bank.

6
00:00:16,160 --> 00:00:18,120
Speaker 1: I digress a.

7
00:00:18,079 --> 00:00:21,520
Speaker 2: Man who went to LSU, you know, played thirteen seasons

8
00:00:21,520 --> 00:00:25,759
Speaker 2: in the NFL. A pro bowler, my rookiear in the league.

9
00:00:25,800 --> 00:00:31,560
Speaker 2: Twenty eleven podcaster term media mogul savant if you will,

10
00:00:31,760 --> 00:00:34,440
Speaker 2: Ryan Clark appreciates you, big dog, for coming on the podcast.

11
00:00:34,640 --> 00:00:35,520
Speaker 1: You're a West.

12
00:00:35,240 --> 00:00:38,279
Speaker 3: Banker, Yeah, man from the West Bank. Man.

13
00:00:38,320 --> 00:00:41,519
Speaker 4: I grew up in Murrero and my family moved to

14
00:00:41,800 --> 00:00:44,760
Speaker 4: Terrytown and you know too, Like being a West Banker

15
00:00:44,840 --> 00:00:48,760
Speaker 4: is a sensitive subject for people who are from the

16
00:00:48,800 --> 00:00:52,680
Speaker 4: greater city of New Orleans. And so anytime I would

17
00:00:52,680 --> 00:00:55,400
Speaker 4: say something negative about the Saints or I'd pissed people

18
00:00:55,840 --> 00:00:58,880
Speaker 4: down there off, the first thing they'd say is that

19
00:00:58,920 --> 00:01:01,040
Speaker 4: they don't claim me because I'm from the West Bank,

20
00:01:01,080 --> 00:01:01,800
Speaker 4: which I'm cool with.

21
00:01:01,880 --> 00:01:04,360
Speaker 3: I mean, my area code was still five O four,

22
00:01:04,480 --> 00:01:05,520
Speaker 3: so I ain't tripping.

23
00:01:05,800 --> 00:01:08,360
Speaker 2: Right right if you're from the best bank, you know

24
00:01:08,440 --> 00:01:13,440
Speaker 2: over there at Harvey and everything else. Yeah, that's the

25
00:01:13,440 --> 00:01:16,920
Speaker 2: movie theater I go to, I prefer because not everybody's

26
00:01:16,959 --> 00:01:18,840
Speaker 2: willing to go to the West Bank, you know.

27
00:01:19,959 --> 00:01:22,759
Speaker 4: Yeah, I mean listen, you know, it's like it's one

28
00:01:22,760 --> 00:01:25,280
Speaker 4: of those crazy things that if you're not from there,

29
00:01:25,440 --> 00:01:28,920
Speaker 4: you actually don't understand it. And they're probably people listening

30
00:01:28,920 --> 00:01:31,440
Speaker 4: to this conversation and thinking, like, what's the West Bank,

31
00:01:31,520 --> 00:01:34,520
Speaker 4: what's the East Bank or whatever it is? And you

32
00:01:34,520 --> 00:01:37,800
Speaker 4: would yeah, and you would think it's only separated by

33
00:01:37,800 --> 00:01:38,920
Speaker 4: the Mississippi River.

34
00:01:39,200 --> 00:01:40,679
Speaker 3: It wouldn't be that big of a deal.

35
00:01:41,160 --> 00:01:44,240
Speaker 4: But like if you ask people like Tying who you've

36
00:01:44,280 --> 00:01:47,039
Speaker 4: played with, who played for Sata, which is the rival

37
00:01:47,080 --> 00:01:51,280
Speaker 4: school to the high school that I went to, Archbishop Shaw,

38
00:01:51,680 --> 00:01:54,120
Speaker 4: Like you find out man, that people take that jug

39
00:01:54,200 --> 00:01:55,880
Speaker 4: extremely serious.

40
00:01:55,840 --> 00:01:56,360
Speaker 1: No doubt.

41
00:01:56,400 --> 00:01:59,120
Speaker 2: You know, I think we played with the same teammates.

42
00:01:59,400 --> 00:02:02,480
Speaker 2: Keenan Lewis, Who's who's a west Baker? You know you

43
00:02:02,520 --> 00:02:07,120
Speaker 2: played with the I played at the Saints. Uh yeah,

44
00:02:07,240 --> 00:02:09,560
Speaker 2: west Bank is is a super serious thing. Again, It's

45
00:02:09,600 --> 00:02:13,400
Speaker 2: literally just a bridge. It's a five minute drive from

46
00:02:13,440 --> 00:02:16,120
Speaker 2: downtown New Orleans to the West.

47
00:02:16,000 --> 00:02:18,079
Speaker 3: Con But wait, bro let me tell you.

48
00:02:18,200 --> 00:02:19,760
Speaker 4: Let me tell you this is Keenan got mad at

49
00:02:19,760 --> 00:02:24,760
Speaker 4: me recently and DM me like, really hot, bro, really

50
00:02:24,760 --> 00:02:27,480
Speaker 4: mad A man, I haven't heard from Keenan. Shoot, maybe

51
00:02:27,520 --> 00:02:30,400
Speaker 4: since he became a saint or since this, you know,

52
00:02:30,480 --> 00:02:33,120
Speaker 4: football career was over. I was just telling this story

53
00:02:33,200 --> 00:02:37,480
Speaker 4: about Antonio Brown and how like pretty much the whole

54
00:02:37,600 --> 00:02:40,239
Speaker 4: entire defense tried to fight Antonio one day. It was

55
00:02:40,280 --> 00:02:42,520
Speaker 4: the day he signed this deal. Bro, he got that

56
00:02:42,600 --> 00:02:45,000
Speaker 4: new money. Him and Keenan doing one on ones, And

57
00:02:45,040 --> 00:02:49,160
Speaker 4: the way I explained the story, Keenan didn't remember it

58
00:02:49,280 --> 00:02:49,640
Speaker 4: like that.

59
00:02:50,200 --> 00:02:51,560
Speaker 3: And what's crazy.

60
00:02:51,200 --> 00:02:54,320
Speaker 4: About it is so many of my other old teammates

61
00:02:54,520 --> 00:02:57,680
Speaker 4: remembered it exactly the same way. Like on the post,

62
00:02:57,720 --> 00:03:01,120
Speaker 4: they're saying, man, I remember that day, just how it happened.

63
00:03:01,320 --> 00:03:02,160
Speaker 3: Wo right.

64
00:03:02,520 --> 00:03:06,320
Speaker 4: And then here was Keenan hot with me, being like, Bro,

65
00:03:06,400 --> 00:03:07,320
Speaker 4: you know how you talk to Bro.

66
00:03:07,360 --> 00:03:10,160
Speaker 3: You ain't gonna me Bro, Hey, brother, you ain't gonna

67
00:03:10,160 --> 00:03:10,680
Speaker 3: play with me.

68
00:03:11,000 --> 00:03:13,360
Speaker 4: And like so much so me and Keenan got on

69
00:03:13,440 --> 00:03:16,040
Speaker 4: the phone to have to try to like hash this

70
00:03:16,240 --> 00:03:19,080
Speaker 4: story out, and like that's the crazy thing about being

71
00:03:19,120 --> 00:03:22,600
Speaker 4: in the media or podcasting or whatever it is.

72
00:03:22,720 --> 00:03:23,880
Speaker 3: It's like always say.

73
00:03:24,080 --> 00:03:27,520
Speaker 4: All of these stories aren't just our stories, so you

74
00:03:27,560 --> 00:03:31,040
Speaker 4: do have to be like extremely careful how you tell them.

75
00:03:31,280 --> 00:03:33,680
Speaker 2: Absolutely, but the fact you had the co signed by

76
00:03:33,720 --> 00:03:44,000
Speaker 2: a whole bunch of teammates. But uh, man, like I said,

77
00:03:44,000 --> 00:03:47,120
Speaker 2: I appreciate you hopping on the pod you know, pivot

78
00:03:47,160 --> 00:03:49,640
Speaker 2: too or what even got you in the media space?

79
00:03:49,680 --> 00:03:51,560
Speaker 2: You know you you went from like the old school

80
00:03:51,600 --> 00:03:54,680
Speaker 2: way of football of like there's no such thing as

81
00:03:54,680 --> 00:03:57,480
Speaker 2: like social media. There's definitely no such thing as it's

82
00:03:57,560 --> 00:04:01,000
Speaker 2: twitch and streaming, live streaming, pod casting during the season.

83
00:04:01,560 --> 00:04:04,600
Speaker 2: Guys used to have a vlog in like twenty ten eleven,

84
00:04:04,880 --> 00:04:05,520
Speaker 2: and you get.

85
00:04:05,400 --> 00:04:06,880
Speaker 1: Chasted on the team.

86
00:04:07,280 --> 00:04:08,080
Speaker 3: I'm just that old.

87
00:04:09,360 --> 00:04:10,760
Speaker 1: I'm saying. My rookie year, there was a.

88
00:04:10,720 --> 00:04:14,400
Speaker 2: Guy maybe twenty twelve had a vlog of a training

89
00:04:14,440 --> 00:04:17,240
Speaker 2: camp and the coaches like flipped their lid, you know,

90
00:04:17,320 --> 00:04:19,120
Speaker 2: like what are we doing? You know, this is how

91
00:04:19,120 --> 00:04:23,200
Speaker 2: we do football, and now it's who doesn't have a podcast?

92
00:04:24,440 --> 00:04:26,880
Speaker 4: Yeah, So I will say this, man, the Steelers were

93
00:04:26,960 --> 00:04:30,760
Speaker 4: really good about it. So my entire time in Pittsburgh,

94
00:04:30,760 --> 00:04:34,080
Speaker 4: I had a radio show and eventually had this TV

95
00:04:34,160 --> 00:04:37,400
Speaker 4: show that would come on every two weeks on KDKA

96
00:04:37,520 --> 00:04:40,719
Speaker 4: that was hosted with one of the local news guys.

97
00:04:40,760 --> 00:04:43,080
Speaker 3: And so I always was into the media and then

98
00:04:43,120 --> 00:04:43,920
Speaker 3: you know how it is.

99
00:04:44,000 --> 00:04:46,640
Speaker 4: Cam O'Hara was back then in the off season and

100
00:04:46,680 --> 00:04:48,400
Speaker 4: it's still a little bit of that now in the

101
00:04:48,440 --> 00:04:50,960
Speaker 4: off season, ESPN and bring you in an NFL.

102
00:04:50,720 --> 00:04:53,200
Speaker 3: Network, what would bring you in? And I would do

103
00:04:53,279 --> 00:04:55,720
Speaker 3: pretty well, you know, during the car washes and all

104
00:04:55,760 --> 00:04:59,240
Speaker 3: those things. And so the Super Bowl in New Orleans,

105
00:04:59,240 --> 00:05:00,600
Speaker 3: San Francisco, Baltimore.

106
00:05:01,200 --> 00:05:03,680
Speaker 4: I tweeted one day that I wanted to do like

107
00:05:03,720 --> 00:05:04,920
Speaker 4: a TV internship.

108
00:05:04,920 --> 00:05:07,000
Speaker 3: I wanted to learn the business, just be a regular

109
00:05:07,040 --> 00:05:11,040
Speaker 3: analyst for Space. And Trey Wingo introduces me.

110
00:05:10,960 --> 00:05:13,839
Speaker 4: To Seth Market marketan who is my boss now at ESPN,

111
00:05:14,200 --> 00:05:16,000
Speaker 4: and I tell them what I wanted to do. I

112
00:05:16,000 --> 00:05:17,560
Speaker 4: was like, I want to work for an entire week.

113
00:05:17,600 --> 00:05:19,520
Speaker 4: I want to get my schedule like the analysts do.

114
00:05:19,560 --> 00:05:21,760
Speaker 4: I want to be on every show, whatever it is.

115
00:05:21,800 --> 00:05:23,680
Speaker 4: So I do that and the agent calls me the

116
00:05:23,720 --> 00:05:26,120
Speaker 4: week after and says, I believe I can get you

117
00:05:26,200 --> 00:05:29,280
Speaker 4: paid to do TV while you play now like you're right,

118
00:05:29,360 --> 00:05:31,359
Speaker 4: Like if you had a vlog back in those days,

119
00:05:31,400 --> 00:05:34,359
Speaker 4: it was a big deal. So imagine me walking into

120
00:05:34,360 --> 00:05:36,880
Speaker 4: the Pittsburgh Steel With saying I'm going to sign this

121
00:05:36,960 --> 00:05:40,120
Speaker 4: TV contract and my first contract was for forty days

122
00:05:40,160 --> 00:05:41,919
Speaker 4: a year, so I worked in the off season, I

123
00:05:41,960 --> 00:05:45,000
Speaker 4: worked in the bye weeks. I did NFL Live every

124
00:05:45,080 --> 00:05:47,840
Speaker 4: Tuesday from the building, and they really helped me with that.

125
00:05:48,200 --> 00:05:49,919
Speaker 3: But they also understood like how.

126
00:05:49,760 --> 00:05:53,800
Speaker 4: Dedicated I was to football as well, but I was

127
00:05:53,880 --> 00:05:55,880
Speaker 4: building an opportunity for a second career.

128
00:05:55,960 --> 00:05:57,080
Speaker 3: So that's where it started.

129
00:05:57,120 --> 00:06:02,000
Speaker 4: And then I retired on TV for ESPN while accepting

130
00:06:02,279 --> 00:06:07,000
Speaker 4: my job for my next career at the Combine after

131
00:06:07,040 --> 00:06:07,640
Speaker 4: my last year.

132
00:06:07,680 --> 00:06:08,840
Speaker 3: So it was really cool.

133
00:06:08,640 --> 00:06:11,200
Speaker 4: How I got into it, and I like to say

134
00:06:11,240 --> 00:06:13,839
Speaker 4: that I was sort of like first of one of

135
00:06:13,880 --> 00:06:18,000
Speaker 4: those dudes who started planning for that post football career

136
00:06:18,240 --> 00:06:21,360
Speaker 4: while playing very publicly, you know, to that end.

137
00:06:22,040 --> 00:06:23,560
Speaker 1: Yeah, I'll say, guys like you.

138
00:06:23,960 --> 00:06:27,400
Speaker 2: Uh while while I was, you know, a pup in

139
00:06:27,440 --> 00:06:29,480
Speaker 2: the league, I was like, we're looking at guys like you,

140
00:06:29,720 --> 00:06:32,840
Speaker 2: I I.

141
00:06:31,760 --> 00:06:35,279
Speaker 1: Taylor, you know, you know. And then of course Big

142
00:06:35,320 --> 00:06:36,719
Speaker 1: Swag hit the scene.

143
00:06:36,720 --> 00:06:40,320
Speaker 2: And worked as well. You know, Marcus spears. It must

144
00:06:40,360 --> 00:06:42,320
Speaker 2: be a losing anything, but.

145
00:06:42,920 --> 00:06:43,920
Speaker 3: We like, we like to talk.

146
00:06:44,320 --> 00:06:46,440
Speaker 4: You've been on there long enough, bro, you know, we

147
00:06:46,480 --> 00:06:48,080
Speaker 4: ain't never been shy about talking.

148
00:06:48,680 --> 00:06:50,359
Speaker 3: You know what I'm saying, and then the person and

149
00:06:50,400 --> 00:06:51,520
Speaker 3: the personalities.

150
00:06:51,680 --> 00:06:54,920
Speaker 4: I do think too, just with the ways that we are,

151
00:06:54,920 --> 00:06:58,000
Speaker 4: I think the personalities translated well to TV. Like for you,

152
00:06:58,640 --> 00:07:01,960
Speaker 4: we've watched you do interview your entire career, and I'm

153
00:07:01,960 --> 00:07:04,880
Speaker 4: pretty sure most times you finished speaking, somebody tells you

154
00:07:04,880 --> 00:07:06,840
Speaker 4: you're going to be great on TV or people told

155
00:07:06,880 --> 00:07:09,360
Speaker 4: you that early on in your career. And so when

156
00:07:09,360 --> 00:07:12,360
Speaker 4: people start to plant that bug, I think it makes

157
00:07:12,440 --> 00:07:15,760
Speaker 4: you start to focus on how do I start building that?

158
00:07:16,120 --> 00:07:17,600
Speaker 3: And in your case, you know you've.

159
00:07:17,440 --> 00:07:19,480
Speaker 4: Done a great job, not only with this. I've seen

160
00:07:19,520 --> 00:07:20,600
Speaker 4: you work the Super Bowl.

161
00:07:20,640 --> 00:07:22,880
Speaker 3: I've seen you, you.

162
00:07:21,800 --> 00:07:25,000
Speaker 4: Know, be on different networks and show people you can

163
00:07:25,000 --> 00:07:27,320
Speaker 4: do it. And so now when you transition you can

164
00:07:27,360 --> 00:07:29,920
Speaker 4: have some of those options. So kudos to you as well,

165
00:07:30,000 --> 00:07:32,320
Speaker 4: you know, a Hall of Fame career, but still planning

166
00:07:32,600 --> 00:07:34,000
Speaker 4: to do things afterwards.

167
00:07:34,520 --> 00:07:35,520
Speaker 1: Yeah, you know.

168
00:07:35,720 --> 00:07:40,960
Speaker 2: I tell people I'm like, I'm overly obsessive about things

169
00:07:40,960 --> 00:07:44,840
Speaker 2: that I care about and football I'm overly obsessive. And

170
00:07:44,880 --> 00:07:47,000
Speaker 2: I was like, you know, they're like, oh, for every person,

171
00:07:47,040 --> 00:07:48,200
Speaker 2: I was like, oh, you're really good on TV.

172
00:07:48,280 --> 00:07:50,160
Speaker 1: You should do that. No, all I want to do

173
00:07:50,200 --> 00:07:52,440
Speaker 1: is hit people until I can't hit people anymore.

174
00:07:53,160 --> 00:07:56,520
Speaker 2: And then you know, but in the eventuality of one day,

175
00:07:56,560 --> 00:07:58,000
Speaker 2: you know it's over.

176
00:07:58,400 --> 00:07:59,880
Speaker 1: Yeah, I'm glad that you know that.

177
00:08:00,000 --> 00:08:02,360
Speaker 2: I've been working Super Bowl since before I was it

178
00:08:02,400 --> 00:08:04,840
Speaker 2: was cool to even work Super Bowls. You know, before

179
00:08:04,920 --> 00:08:07,679
Speaker 2: the it was a car wash or to get paid

180
00:08:07,720 --> 00:08:10,160
Speaker 2: to even work super Bowl because as a defensive lineman

181
00:08:10,200 --> 00:08:13,200
Speaker 2: coming out of the Saints, it's not the most marketable team.

182
00:08:13,520 --> 00:08:15,840
Speaker 2: I'll let your name was Drew Brees in twenty eleven.

183
00:08:16,240 --> 00:08:19,320
Speaker 2: You know, we've got way better, way better.

184
00:08:19,600 --> 00:08:22,000
Speaker 4: And also too, you got to thank Cam and like,

185
00:08:22,040 --> 00:08:25,440
Speaker 4: this was my mindset, right. I knew I didn't want

186
00:08:25,480 --> 00:08:28,120
Speaker 4: to just be like one of the rotational pieces of

187
00:08:28,160 --> 00:08:31,120
Speaker 4: the media where you might see me on this show,

188
00:08:31,160 --> 00:08:32,880
Speaker 4: you might see me on that show, but you never

189
00:08:32,960 --> 00:08:35,400
Speaker 4: truly get a foothold in the game to where you

190
00:08:35,440 --> 00:08:38,160
Speaker 4: have your own space, you have your own brand.

191
00:08:38,440 --> 00:08:39,480
Speaker 3: I wasn't a quarterback.

192
00:08:40,200 --> 00:08:42,360
Speaker 4: I wasn't going to be a Hall of Fame player,

193
00:08:42,760 --> 00:08:45,200
Speaker 4: and so I had to understand those things and get

194
00:08:45,200 --> 00:08:46,480
Speaker 4: into the business the.

195
00:08:46,360 --> 00:08:49,959
Speaker 3: Best way I knew. How while my name was still hot.

196
00:08:50,080 --> 00:08:51,280
Speaker 3: You know, they're going to be some.

197
00:08:51,200 --> 00:08:54,040
Speaker 4: Players whose careers are so great, whose names are so

198
00:08:54,240 --> 00:08:56,600
Speaker 4: big that they could take some time off and then

199
00:08:56,640 --> 00:09:00,400
Speaker 4: come back to TV and be received extremely well or

200
00:09:00,440 --> 00:09:03,080
Speaker 4: be welcomed into the sort of jobs that they feel

201
00:09:03,120 --> 00:09:05,199
Speaker 4: that they deserved. I didn't think that was going to

202
00:09:05,320 --> 00:09:08,440
Speaker 4: be something I had a chance or an opportunity to do,

203
00:09:08,760 --> 00:09:10,480
Speaker 4: and I think that was why I planned the way

204
00:09:10,520 --> 00:09:10,880
Speaker 4: I did.

205
00:09:11,520 --> 00:09:12,600
Speaker 1: Mmm.

206
00:09:12,920 --> 00:09:15,480
Speaker 2: I mean you worked your way up, man, you took

207
00:09:15,520 --> 00:09:18,079
Speaker 2: over and now you know, co host of the ESPN

208
00:09:18,120 --> 00:09:21,720
Speaker 2: as analyst, co host of The Pivot. You know you

209
00:09:21,760 --> 00:09:24,400
Speaker 2: wanted you want an Emmy. Like, in my mind, there's

210
00:09:24,400 --> 00:09:26,680
Speaker 2: a couple of guys that sort of like fit that

211
00:09:26,760 --> 00:09:31,240
Speaker 2: mode of transitioning beyond football as a player, and you're

212
00:09:31,280 --> 00:09:34,120
Speaker 2: definitely one of them, you know. Nate Burrowson is another one,

213
00:09:34,400 --> 00:09:37,760
Speaker 2: you know for sure, But you're in that category. Bro,

214
00:09:37,880 --> 00:09:39,520
Speaker 2: you want you want an Emmy? What does that even

215
00:09:39,559 --> 00:09:41,600
Speaker 2: feel like? Can you compare it to something? Because I

216
00:09:41,640 --> 00:09:45,880
Speaker 2: mean Pro Bowl, pro bo, I've been to Emmy. I've

217
00:09:45,880 --> 00:09:46,840
Speaker 2: never even thought.

218
00:09:46,600 --> 00:09:50,760
Speaker 4: About Yeah, you know, like I didn't really think about

219
00:09:50,760 --> 00:09:54,160
Speaker 4: it either. You know, it was something it didn't really

220
00:09:54,200 --> 00:09:58,400
Speaker 4: feel like that was something that was available to me.

221
00:09:58,720 --> 00:10:01,560
Speaker 3: Oh, I got smart sense going off in the background

222
00:10:03,880 --> 00:10:08,160
Speaker 3: because I want a celebration. I want to Emmy, you know,

223
00:10:08,320 --> 00:10:08,959
Speaker 3: and Cam.

224
00:10:09,080 --> 00:10:11,880
Speaker 4: Honestly, I think it all came about because of the

225
00:10:12,000 --> 00:10:16,880
Speaker 4: night DeMar Hamlin had his cardiac arrest. I was on

226
00:10:16,960 --> 00:10:20,280
Speaker 4: TV when nobody else was on TV to talk about it.

227
00:10:20,320 --> 00:10:24,520
Speaker 4: I was on the same network that the injury happened,

228
00:10:24,520 --> 00:10:28,240
Speaker 4: and so everybody was fixated on that moment, and it

229
00:10:28,360 --> 00:10:31,559
Speaker 4: was just myself and Scott Van Pelt sitting there and

230
00:10:31,600 --> 00:10:34,720
Speaker 4: we had to take the world through this therapy session.

231
00:10:35,320 --> 00:10:37,640
Speaker 4: You know, I never started a season like I'm gonna

232
00:10:37,640 --> 00:10:39,800
Speaker 4: win an Emmy. I never thought that my name was

233
00:10:39,800 --> 00:10:41,720
Speaker 4: big enough or I did the sort of work that

234
00:10:41,800 --> 00:10:43,840
Speaker 4: was gonna put those eyeballs on me, because I was

235
00:10:43,920 --> 00:10:47,320
Speaker 4: just on ESPN and that necessarily wasn't the biggest name.

236
00:10:47,920 --> 00:10:50,560
Speaker 4: But I think God prepared me for that opportunity, you know,

237
00:10:50,600 --> 00:10:52,319
Speaker 4: like I was one of the very I'm one of

238
00:10:52,360 --> 00:10:55,400
Speaker 4: the very few players who had a football injury or

239
00:10:55,600 --> 00:10:57,559
Speaker 4: incident almost cost him his life.

240
00:10:58,160 --> 00:11:02,080
Speaker 3: You know. I had a doctor walk into my room

241
00:11:02,080 --> 00:11:04,439
Speaker 3: and tell me we can't figure out what's wrong with you.

242
00:11:05,000 --> 00:11:07,800
Speaker 4: We should pray, and I'm looking at him like, nah, bro,

243
00:11:07,960 --> 00:11:09,360
Speaker 4: like you're supposed to do the medicine.

244
00:11:09,360 --> 00:11:11,679
Speaker 3: I've been having folks praying for me for months.

245
00:11:11,960 --> 00:11:14,600
Speaker 4: You know, like I'm looking. I'm looking to you to

246
00:11:14,720 --> 00:11:16,600
Speaker 4: tell me what's wrong with me and figure out a

247
00:11:16,640 --> 00:11:19,319
Speaker 4: medical way to get me better. And so I've been

248
00:11:19,360 --> 00:11:21,920
Speaker 4: in that position, and I've also been in the position

249
00:11:22,000 --> 00:11:24,240
Speaker 4: of knowing, with all of those things going on, I

250
00:11:24,320 --> 00:11:26,640
Speaker 4: was willing to risk my life for this game.

251
00:11:27,000 --> 00:11:27,760
Speaker 3: Again, you know.

252
00:11:27,840 --> 00:11:30,920
Speaker 4: So I understood that, understood what the game means to us,

253
00:11:31,160 --> 00:11:33,240
Speaker 4: how much we're willing to give for like you say,

254
00:11:33,320 --> 00:11:37,040
Speaker 4: be overly obsessive about it. But I also understood the

255
00:11:37,080 --> 00:11:38,000
Speaker 4: human side of it.

256
00:11:38,160 --> 00:11:41,080
Speaker 3: You know. I understood my wife telling me after.

257
00:11:40,880 --> 00:11:43,760
Speaker 4: I had my surgery that every night she went into

258
00:11:43,800 --> 00:11:46,720
Speaker 4: the bathroom and closed the door and cried because she

259
00:11:46,840 --> 00:11:48,880
Speaker 4: didn't want me to know how scared she was.

260
00:11:49,800 --> 00:11:50,520
Speaker 3: You see what I'm saying.

261
00:11:50,520 --> 00:11:54,800
Speaker 4: So I knew what Dumar Hamlin's family could be feeling

262
00:11:55,120 --> 00:11:57,679
Speaker 4: at that point in time. I had my teammates come

263
00:11:57,679 --> 00:12:00,839
Speaker 4: into my room after my surgery, who had been told I.

264
00:12:00,840 --> 00:12:03,080
Speaker 3: Was going to be alright, who had been told I

265
00:12:03,200 --> 00:12:05,800
Speaker 3: was going to heal. I witnessed how.

266
00:12:05,559 --> 00:12:09,400
Speaker 4: Angry they got up on seeing me and laying eyes

267
00:12:09,440 --> 00:12:12,240
Speaker 4: on me and realizing it was so much worse than

268
00:12:13,040 --> 00:12:15,920
Speaker 4: what they were being told, right, so much worse than

269
00:12:16,320 --> 00:12:20,480
Speaker 4: the communication the training staff was giving them leaving the room,

270
00:12:20,559 --> 00:12:23,000
Speaker 4: trying to fight the trainers when they go back to

271
00:12:23,040 --> 00:12:25,000
Speaker 4: the facility. And so I was able to wrap sort

272
00:12:25,000 --> 00:12:29,720
Speaker 4: of all those experiences up and communicate them in a

273
00:12:29,720 --> 00:12:33,720
Speaker 4: way that humanized DeMar Hamlin, that humanized football players, but

274
00:12:33,800 --> 00:12:37,160
Speaker 4: also brought people in on the superhuman things that you

275
00:12:37,240 --> 00:12:39,880
Speaker 4: guys do and can do each and every week. And

276
00:12:39,920 --> 00:12:41,840
Speaker 4: I think that was the reason I got the opportunity

277
00:12:42,280 --> 00:12:45,040
Speaker 4: to win it, and that they say, don't say win

278
00:12:45,080 --> 00:12:49,480
Speaker 4: it to receive the Emmy. And you know, like I

279
00:12:49,520 --> 00:12:52,600
Speaker 4: never really got like a lot of individual awards, you know,

280
00:12:52,720 --> 00:12:54,520
Speaker 4: like I'm not gonna be a Hall of Fame player.

281
00:12:55,240 --> 00:12:56,160
Speaker 3: I look back on it.

282
00:12:56,120 --> 00:12:58,200
Speaker 4: I don't know if my number or like I'll ever

283
00:12:58,240 --> 00:13:00,679
Speaker 4: be in any ring of honor, whether that be college,

284
00:13:00,840 --> 00:13:01,800
Speaker 4: high school.

285
00:13:01,920 --> 00:13:02,600
Speaker 3: The NFL.

286
00:13:03,040 --> 00:13:05,080
Speaker 4: And so it was kind of like the first individual

287
00:13:05,160 --> 00:13:07,360
Speaker 4: thing I got. But I still just looked at like

288
00:13:07,360 --> 00:13:09,240
Speaker 4: what the team had did. I looked at the things

289
00:13:09,240 --> 00:13:13,680
Speaker 4: my wife had sacrifice while playing and post career, you know,

290
00:13:13,760 --> 00:13:15,600
Speaker 4: I thought about the people I work with every day

291
00:13:15,600 --> 00:13:18,000
Speaker 4: and the way that they push me, the opportunities certain

292
00:13:18,000 --> 00:13:19,880
Speaker 4: people gave me to be on TV, and I think

293
00:13:19,880 --> 00:13:23,360
Speaker 4: that's what it was more about. And you know, it's

294
00:13:23,360 --> 00:13:25,800
Speaker 4: one of those things I didn't think about winning it before.

295
00:13:26,679 --> 00:13:28,840
Speaker 4: I understand the process now and I think it'd be

296
00:13:28,880 --> 00:13:31,920
Speaker 4: cool to win one again, but like, I don't focus

297
00:13:31,960 --> 00:13:34,160
Speaker 4: on it because it's kind of like been there, done that.

298
00:13:34,200 --> 00:13:36,400
Speaker 4: They can't take it away from me, like forever until

299
00:13:36,400 --> 00:13:41,000
Speaker 4: I passed. I'll be a Sports Emmy winner, you know.

300
00:13:41,160 --> 00:13:43,200
Speaker 4: And I can live my life with that and think

301
00:13:43,200 --> 00:13:45,320
Speaker 4: that that's cool, But you know it, it's about cam.

302
00:13:45,400 --> 00:13:47,480
Speaker 3: If I don't have the respect to y'all dudes, bro,

303
00:13:47,840 --> 00:13:48,559
Speaker 3: it don't matter.

304
00:13:48,920 --> 00:13:50,920
Speaker 4: Like when I get to the game, man, Like how

305
00:13:51,000 --> 00:13:52,439
Speaker 4: you know I saw you on the field in Kansas

306
00:13:52,480 --> 00:13:54,120
Speaker 4: City and you come dap me up and we can

307
00:13:54,200 --> 00:13:57,560
Speaker 4: have those conversations. That means the world to me because

308
00:13:57,640 --> 00:14:00,319
Speaker 4: I didn't I wasn't drafted.

309
00:14:00,240 --> 00:14:04,600
Speaker 3: You know what I mean. I didn't have this career.

310
00:14:04,480 --> 00:14:07,960
Speaker 4: Where everybody has to respect me or will just respect

311
00:14:08,040 --> 00:14:12,679
Speaker 4: me based on numbers. So I really appreciate when the

312
00:14:12,679 --> 00:14:15,800
Speaker 4: best players in the game, like yourself, do respect what

313
00:14:15,920 --> 00:14:18,320
Speaker 4: I do, what I've done in my career or what

314
00:14:18,360 --> 00:14:20,280
Speaker 4: I've done on TV, and so I think that's like

315
00:14:20,360 --> 00:14:23,120
Speaker 4: the part that matters the most for sure.

316
00:14:23,480 --> 00:14:25,680
Speaker 2: I mean that, and you're still you know, you still

317
00:14:25,680 --> 00:14:27,640
Speaker 2: were a Pro Bowl player. It's not like you were

318
00:14:27,760 --> 00:14:31,280
Speaker 2: a guy who just like you know, did something, did something.

319
00:14:31,320 --> 00:14:33,880
Speaker 2: You were part of a vaunted defense and what a

320
00:14:33,920 --> 00:14:36,040
Speaker 2: Pro Bowl color player and oh, by the way, one

321
00:14:36,160 --> 00:14:40,000
Speaker 2: you know, like one at the highest level. Yeah sure,

322
00:14:40,600 --> 00:14:42,480
Speaker 2: that's yeah, So you can't do I'm not going to

323
00:14:42,560 --> 00:14:44,440
Speaker 2: just let it, let you belittle yourself in terms of

324
00:14:44,480 --> 00:14:45,040
Speaker 2: like I didn't do it.

325
00:14:45,240 --> 00:14:48,120
Speaker 1: You were a Pro Bowl player, you know what I'm saying, Like, yeah.

326
00:14:47,960 --> 00:14:50,160
Speaker 4: But Cam, but you know, you know how it is,

327
00:14:50,160 --> 00:14:53,440
Speaker 4: though Camp, It's like like that there are certain ways

328
00:14:53,520 --> 00:14:56,800
Speaker 4: we see ourselves that it's hard to forget what that

329
00:14:56,840 --> 00:14:59,320
Speaker 4: felt like, right, Like, like it's hard to it's hard

330
00:14:59,320 --> 00:15:01,600
Speaker 4: for me to forget Tom Kafflin telling me there were

331
00:15:01,600 --> 00:15:04,480
Speaker 4: other leagues, you know what I'm saying, telling me that

332
00:15:04,600 --> 00:15:07,480
Speaker 4: the Canadian that they played football in Canada, or that

333
00:15:07,520 --> 00:15:10,920
Speaker 4: they had arena ball, or that maybe you should focus

334
00:15:11,200 --> 00:15:15,080
Speaker 4: on special teams and you could get another shot, or

335
00:15:15,840 --> 00:15:17,880
Speaker 4: you know, like we just don't know if you can

336
00:15:17,960 --> 00:15:22,040
Speaker 4: hold up for sixteen games, and it's like it's so

337
00:15:22,240 --> 00:15:25,480
Speaker 4: cliche to have on a chip on your shoulder.

338
00:15:25,520 --> 00:15:28,400
Speaker 3: I actually didn't, you know, like I didn't have this chip.

339
00:15:28,640 --> 00:15:31,760
Speaker 4: Like for me, it was like it was processing all

340
00:15:31,840 --> 00:15:34,360
Speaker 4: the things I had been told I couldn't do and

341
00:15:34,440 --> 00:15:36,800
Speaker 4: trying to figure out a way that you could do

342
00:15:36,880 --> 00:15:42,200
Speaker 4: them if those perceived limitations were real. And like I

343
00:15:42,280 --> 00:15:44,960
Speaker 4: love that, like about the journey and so yeah, I'm

344
00:15:45,040 --> 00:15:47,600
Speaker 4: so blessed to have accomplished what I've accomplished and played

345
00:15:47,600 --> 00:15:49,800
Speaker 4: with the people I played with. But I said what

346
00:15:49,840 --> 00:15:51,840
Speaker 4: I said about you as a player and the respect

347
00:15:52,200 --> 00:15:54,600
Speaker 4: and the appreciation you give me, the love that you

348
00:15:54,720 --> 00:15:56,320
Speaker 4: give me, How grateful I am for that.

349
00:15:56,800 --> 00:16:00,480
Speaker 3: Because when Troy Polamalu said, is that.

350
00:16:00,440 --> 00:16:03,280
Speaker 4: Like you know, calls me when he gets into the

351
00:16:03,280 --> 00:16:05,520
Speaker 4: Hall of Fame and say we did it, we made it,

352
00:16:06,520 --> 00:16:08,720
Speaker 4: you know what I mean? Like that meant the world

353
00:16:08,760 --> 00:16:11,320
Speaker 4: to me, you know what I mean When when he

354
00:16:11,360 --> 00:16:14,120
Speaker 4: called me when he won the Defensive Player of the

355
00:16:14,200 --> 00:16:17,720
Speaker 4: Year in twenty ten and was like, bro, we won it.

356
00:16:18,440 --> 00:16:20,000
Speaker 3: You know, like those things are important.

357
00:16:20,000 --> 00:16:23,320
Speaker 4: When Sean Taylor before he passed, was asked who his

358
00:16:23,480 --> 00:16:27,800
Speaker 4: favorite professional athlete was and he said, Ryan Clark, you know,

359
00:16:28,000 --> 00:16:30,360
Speaker 4: like for an undrafted dude, man for a dude that

360
00:16:30,480 --> 00:16:32,880
Speaker 4: was told he couldn't do it. And I think for

361
00:16:33,040 --> 00:16:37,960
Speaker 4: someone who basically put like individual accolades out of mind

362
00:16:38,280 --> 00:16:40,040
Speaker 4: in one of those senses that I felt like I

363
00:16:40,040 --> 00:16:43,280
Speaker 4: would never get him. You know, it's like you almost

364
00:16:43,280 --> 00:16:46,520
Speaker 4: convince yourself like I'm not getting those things because those

365
00:16:46,560 --> 00:16:48,480
Speaker 4: things aren't meant for me, or I'm not making it

366
00:16:48,520 --> 00:16:51,400
Speaker 4: to Pro Bowls because people don't see me that way.

367
00:16:51,480 --> 00:16:54,200
Speaker 4: You know, I remember walking bro one year, man, I

368
00:16:54,200 --> 00:16:55,400
Speaker 4: think it was the year we went to the Super

369
00:16:55,400 --> 00:16:58,280
Speaker 4: Bowl and won it. I didn't make the Pro Bowl

370
00:16:58,520 --> 00:17:01,640
Speaker 4: that year, and I wasn't even disappointed because I guess

371
00:17:01,680 --> 00:17:04,920
Speaker 4: I just never expected to. And Coach Tomlin's walking with

372
00:17:05,000 --> 00:17:08,040
Speaker 4: me away from meeting, you know when they tell you know, Cam,

373
00:17:08,560 --> 00:17:11,239
Speaker 4: you know you made the Pro Bowl. However, however, it

374
00:17:11,280 --> 00:17:14,239
Speaker 4: goes when you're celebrating the people that make it. And

375
00:17:14,240 --> 00:17:16,760
Speaker 4: he put his own around me, and he goes, what's

376
00:17:16,880 --> 00:17:20,879
Speaker 4: more important than making the Pro Bowl is working with

377
00:17:20,960 --> 00:17:24,040
Speaker 4: a group of men that know you gave him Pro

378
00:17:24,080 --> 00:17:30,040
Speaker 4: Bowl caliber play the entire season. So those small affirmations

379
00:17:30,040 --> 00:17:34,040
Speaker 4: and confirmations became like part of the reason I worked

380
00:17:34,080 --> 00:17:36,840
Speaker 4: so hard. Uh, And so I guess I don't really

381
00:17:36,840 --> 00:17:40,199
Speaker 4: necessarily always need people to talk about the career in

382
00:17:40,240 --> 00:17:42,520
Speaker 4: that way because I feel like I earned the respect

383
00:17:42,560 --> 00:17:43,480
Speaker 4: of the people that matter.

384
00:17:44,080 --> 00:17:48,360
Speaker 2: Stay tuned, we'll be right back. I'm gonna start leaning

385
00:17:48,359 --> 00:17:50,280
Speaker 2: on your analyst work. What did you see in week

386
00:17:50,359 --> 00:17:52,439
Speaker 2: seven that you liked? Like, let'sen, I'm gonna be a

387
00:17:52,440 --> 00:17:53,359
Speaker 2: big pivot right there.

388
00:17:53,560 --> 00:17:57,080
Speaker 4: From okay, from the from the from the week just overall. Yeah,

389
00:17:57,359 --> 00:17:59,880
Speaker 4: over I mean I think that I think the first.

390
00:17:59,720 --> 00:18:01,119
Speaker 3: Thing start with Lamar bro.

391
00:18:03,359 --> 00:18:06,640
Speaker 4: You know, Lamar is getting in the Ravens, and I'll

392
00:18:06,680 --> 00:18:09,919
Speaker 4: be honest that you can. When they signed Dereck Henry,

393
00:18:09,960 --> 00:18:11,439
Speaker 4: I was like, all right, like, what does that do?

394
00:18:11,560 --> 00:18:14,720
Speaker 4: We're talking about a team that could always run the football, right.

395
00:18:14,720 --> 00:18:17,040
Speaker 4: It wasn't like the Baltimore Ravens were one of these

396
00:18:17,080 --> 00:18:19,640
Speaker 4: teams who lacked the running game. They could always run

397
00:18:19,680 --> 00:18:21,919
Speaker 4: the ball since drafting Lamar, So I was like, Okay,

398
00:18:22,280 --> 00:18:25,479
Speaker 4: what does this do? How does this elevate them? And

399
00:18:25,520 --> 00:18:30,240
Speaker 4: now I see it's look at Derrick Henry being stopped

400
00:18:30,240 --> 00:18:31,959
Speaker 4: for most of the game and then he rips went

401
00:18:32,000 --> 00:18:33,160
Speaker 4: off for eighty one.

402
00:18:33,960 --> 00:18:35,800
Speaker 3: And you know that's a point. That's a point in

403
00:18:35,800 --> 00:18:36,200
Speaker 3: the game.

404
00:18:36,480 --> 00:18:39,600
Speaker 4: If I'm defense right, I'm saying, we got him backed up,

405
00:18:39,840 --> 00:18:42,160
Speaker 4: let's get a stop, let's get a short field, give

406
00:18:42,160 --> 00:18:45,520
Speaker 4: our offense the ball. We score, you know, we try

407
00:18:45,560 --> 00:18:47,119
Speaker 4: to get the football back. We could get back in

408
00:18:47,160 --> 00:18:49,480
Speaker 4: this game. And then he goes for eighty one at

409
00:18:49,480 --> 00:18:52,320
Speaker 4: two point fifty at twenty one miles per hour, And

410
00:18:52,400 --> 00:18:54,600
Speaker 4: now you stack in the box. You're putting eight people

411
00:18:54,640 --> 00:18:57,320
Speaker 4: in the box every snap, and Zay Flowers and Rashad

412
00:18:57,400 --> 00:19:00,240
Speaker 4: Bateman out here cooking folks one on one, and our

413
00:19:00,400 --> 00:19:03,399
Speaker 4: passing game is elevated by the way when he wants

414
00:19:03,400 --> 00:19:05,679
Speaker 4: to run, he's the best athlete on the field. And

415
00:19:05,720 --> 00:19:08,160
Speaker 4: so I think just watching them play Tampa Bay, Bro

416
00:19:08,240 --> 00:19:11,679
Speaker 4: and score at ease after having a slow start was

417
00:19:11,720 --> 00:19:14,520
Speaker 4: just one of those things that really made you sit

418
00:19:14,640 --> 00:19:18,040
Speaker 4: back and marvel at his at his greatness, and at

419
00:19:18,080 --> 00:19:21,280
Speaker 4: what Derrick Henry's added to that team. And also too, Bro,

420
00:19:22,560 --> 00:19:26,200
Speaker 4: I realize now I probably will never say another negative

421
00:19:26,200 --> 00:19:30,360
Speaker 4: thing about Patrick Mahons, like even if, like, like, if

422
00:19:30,359 --> 00:19:33,359
Speaker 4: Patrick Mahomes throws five picks, I'm gonna blame it on

423
00:19:33,400 --> 00:19:34,000
Speaker 4: somebody else.

424
00:19:34,040 --> 00:19:36,679
Speaker 3: Cam it's going to be the weather, somebody ran the

425
00:19:36,720 --> 00:19:39,440
Speaker 3: wrong route. He don't feel well.

426
00:19:39,880 --> 00:19:44,119
Speaker 4: The kids kept him up because it's like, no matter

427
00:19:44,200 --> 00:19:48,200
Speaker 4: what happens, when it gets to situational football moments, the

428
00:19:48,320 --> 00:19:49,440
Speaker 4: dude just shows up.

429
00:19:51,920 --> 00:19:53,879
Speaker 1: You can't teach that, you know.

430
00:19:54,600 --> 00:19:57,359
Speaker 4: So I'm like, bro, because he throws the two picks

431
00:19:57,359 --> 00:20:00,560
Speaker 4: and he's like, man, Patrick is like sort of playing

432
00:20:00,560 --> 00:20:01,399
Speaker 4: well right now.

433
00:20:01,880 --> 00:20:04,040
Speaker 3: And I went to tweet it. I was like, you

434
00:20:04,040 --> 00:20:05,359
Speaker 3: better stop that, fingers.

435
00:20:05,800 --> 00:20:07,440
Speaker 4: We're not finna go out here and say nothing bad

436
00:20:07,440 --> 00:20:10,560
Speaker 4: about Patrick Mahomes because I knew it was gonna get

437
00:20:10,600 --> 00:20:12,600
Speaker 4: late in the game. And you know, he already went

438
00:20:12,760 --> 00:20:15,240
Speaker 4: like his feet hurt, like he runs like he was

439
00:20:15,280 --> 00:20:17,639
Speaker 4: born with playing fasci itis, you know what I'm saying.

440
00:20:17,680 --> 00:20:19,600
Speaker 3: So then he and so and so.

441
00:20:19,680 --> 00:20:22,399
Speaker 4: Then he gets the thirty three yard run. He runs

442
00:20:22,400 --> 00:20:25,400
Speaker 4: over Mustafa for the touchdown. It's a thirty to eight play.

443
00:20:25,520 --> 00:20:27,960
Speaker 4: Scrambles gets out of the pocket, throws the ball to Noah. Great,

444
00:20:28,160 --> 00:20:30,159
Speaker 4: and then you're like, they go Patrick doing that Patrick

445
00:20:30,200 --> 00:20:30,760
Speaker 4: stuff again.

446
00:20:31,080 --> 00:20:32,320
Speaker 3: And I thought that Pat.

447
00:20:32,320 --> 00:20:33,159
Speaker 1: Lowered his shoulder.

448
00:20:33,240 --> 00:20:37,760
Speaker 2: Let's Pat lowered his shoulder and reminded the world he's

449
00:20:37,840 --> 00:20:38,800
Speaker 2: like that he two forty.

450
00:20:39,440 --> 00:20:39,640
Speaker 1: Yeah.

451
00:20:41,119 --> 00:20:42,840
Speaker 4: Now now it kind of pissed me off as a

452
00:20:42,840 --> 00:20:45,760
Speaker 4: safety though, right because you got to break some pads

453
00:20:45,760 --> 00:20:47,600
Speaker 4: to Pat now because he running over safeties.

454
00:20:48,119 --> 00:20:49,840
Speaker 3: You know, once they do it one time, they gonna

455
00:20:49,880 --> 00:20:53,240
Speaker 3: keep doing it. Take us for salt. Yeah, they take

456
00:20:53,320 --> 00:20:53,840
Speaker 3: us for salt.

457
00:20:54,000 --> 00:20:56,280
Speaker 2: I'm one of those pause right there and only like,

458
00:20:56,560 --> 00:20:59,840
Speaker 2: I also disliked the way that the game has has

459
00:21:00,040 --> 00:21:05,040
Speaker 2: has sort of inhibited defensive players to hit quarterbacks in general,

460
00:21:05,440 --> 00:21:07,000
Speaker 2: because he's like, all right, let me just get him

461
00:21:07,000 --> 00:21:09,080
Speaker 2: down and Pat was like, no, I'm getting this touchdown

462
00:21:09,960 --> 00:21:11,600
Speaker 2: and let's call it ten years ago.

463
00:21:11,760 --> 00:21:15,200
Speaker 1: We're taking his knees out. Now it's hey, it's a quarterback.

464
00:21:15,800 --> 00:21:17,800
Speaker 1: Hit him, don't don't hip drop.

465
00:21:17,600 --> 00:21:20,160
Speaker 2: Tackle him, don't hit him too high, because they're targeting

466
00:21:20,560 --> 00:21:22,560
Speaker 2: You're you're dealing in a complete different era.

467
00:21:23,040 --> 00:21:25,080
Speaker 3: Cam think about the think about the long run though.

468
00:21:25,359 --> 00:21:30,439
Speaker 4: People are tiptoeing to the sideline expecting him to run out,

469
00:21:30,520 --> 00:21:33,840
Speaker 4: and because he doesn't run out, you know, and I

470
00:21:33,920 --> 00:21:36,480
Speaker 4: think we've seen it. You've seen that all around the game, man,

471
00:21:36,560 --> 00:21:39,800
Speaker 4: and you know, for you guys to have to make

472
00:21:39,840 --> 00:21:43,120
Speaker 4: the adjustments that you have, I know that's already ready difficult,

473
00:21:43,640 --> 00:21:48,160
Speaker 4: But it's the frustration of them taking advantage of those rules,

474
00:21:48,200 --> 00:21:50,680
Speaker 4: Like if you slide and I can't hit you, cool, right,

475
00:21:50,720 --> 00:21:52,640
Speaker 4: that's where you were going to be regardless, But when

476
00:21:52,640 --> 00:21:54,800
Speaker 4: you take advantage of it and get the extra yards,

477
00:21:54,920 --> 00:21:57,000
Speaker 4: or if you're a Mustafa and you get ran over

478
00:21:57,080 --> 00:22:00,439
Speaker 4: in the end zone because even as you're approaching, you're not.

479
00:22:01,000 --> 00:22:03,800
Speaker 4: You don't your mind doesn't click into now he's a runner,

480
00:22:04,400 --> 00:22:05,840
Speaker 4: you see what I'm saying, And so now I can

481
00:22:05,880 --> 00:22:09,640
Speaker 4: tackle him differently. And I think the last thing, too, Cam,

482
00:22:09,800 --> 00:22:14,440
Speaker 4: is that like Detroit's offense, Bro, what Ben Johnson is doing, Like,

483
00:22:14,480 --> 00:22:16,639
Speaker 4: I don't know why he never wants to take a

484
00:22:16,680 --> 00:22:19,320
Speaker 4: head coaching job, And if I'm Dan Campbell, I do

485
00:22:19,400 --> 00:22:22,199
Speaker 4: everything I possibly can to continue to convince him to

486
00:22:22,240 --> 00:22:26,240
Speaker 4: turn down those jobs. Because Minnesota has been giving people

487
00:22:26,440 --> 00:22:29,160
Speaker 4: so much trouble with their pressure packages and the fire

488
00:22:29,240 --> 00:22:33,400
Speaker 4: zone split safety defenses, they could play behind it, switching

489
00:22:33,440 --> 00:22:37,200
Speaker 4: that to a drop zero and Jared Goff cooked them

490
00:22:37,240 --> 00:22:40,000
Speaker 4: bro fourteen for fourteen to start the game. The big

491
00:22:40,000 --> 00:22:42,720
Speaker 4: play to Amara Saint Brown finishes with the drive to

492
00:22:42,760 --> 00:22:44,240
Speaker 4: set them up for a field goal. So I just

493
00:22:44,240 --> 00:22:46,200
Speaker 4: thought all those teams were extremely impressive.

494
00:22:47,880 --> 00:22:50,600
Speaker 2: Man, these are these are facts. I'll say, So what

495
00:22:50,600 --> 00:22:53,399
Speaker 2: about what about this upcoming week? Who are you excited

496
00:22:53,440 --> 00:22:54,560
Speaker 2: to say? Week eight?

497
00:22:55,600 --> 00:22:57,640
Speaker 3: Yeah? So so week eight?

498
00:22:57,840 --> 00:23:00,359
Speaker 4: You know, I was probably more excited to see this

499
00:23:00,480 --> 00:23:04,440
Speaker 4: matchup before Jaden Daniels got injured. We were supposed to

500
00:23:04,520 --> 00:23:07,399
Speaker 4: see the Commanders versus the Bears where you can see

501
00:23:07,800 --> 00:23:12,639
Speaker 4: number one and number two pick right, and and Caleb

502
00:23:12,760 --> 00:23:16,960
Speaker 4: was trending and playing better right, He's trending upwards.

503
00:23:16,960 --> 00:23:20,439
Speaker 3: And Jayden Daniels has taken the league by storm, and

504
00:23:20,480 --> 00:23:22,679
Speaker 3: so I kind of playing lightshouse.

505
00:23:22,800 --> 00:23:25,639
Speaker 4: I wanted to see that matchup and what was to

506
00:23:25,680 --> 00:23:28,480
Speaker 4: come up because you were a competitor, right, And if

507
00:23:28,480 --> 00:23:31,359
Speaker 4: I'm Caleb Williams, I'm like, wait, y'all keep talking about this, dude,

508
00:23:31,400 --> 00:23:34,160
Speaker 4: Like I ain't the one, right, And if you're Jaden,

509
00:23:34,200 --> 00:23:37,120
Speaker 4: if you're Jada Daniels's like, yeah, like Chicago, You're gonna

510
00:23:37,119 --> 00:23:37,840
Speaker 4: wish you would.

511
00:23:37,600 --> 00:23:40,320
Speaker 3: Have picked me, you know. So, and so like that

512
00:23:40,440 --> 00:23:43,840
Speaker 3: was that was something you know, I was looking forward to.

513
00:23:44,160 --> 00:23:47,520
Speaker 4: I think the other thing is like how does or

514
00:23:47,560 --> 00:23:51,199
Speaker 4: how do the Bengals who can't stop the run at

515
00:23:51,240 --> 00:23:54,680
Speaker 4: all figure out how to limit Sakwon Barkley with what

516
00:23:54,760 --> 00:23:57,639
Speaker 4: we saw from him last week against the New York Giants.

517
00:23:57,720 --> 00:23:59,720
Speaker 3: Right. Remindre Stevenson had a big day.

518
00:24:00,080 --> 00:24:03,720
Speaker 4: Uh, Derrick Henry had a big day against the Cincinnati Bengals.

519
00:24:03,800 --> 00:24:06,760
Speaker 4: Chuba Hubbard in Carolina, even in the loss, was able

520
00:24:06,760 --> 00:24:09,399
Speaker 4: to rack up yards. And I feel like the Philadelphia

521
00:24:09,400 --> 00:24:12,480
Speaker 4: Eagles are starting to realize like who sa Quan truly

522
00:24:12,680 --> 00:24:14,320
Speaker 4: is to them, and they have to put the football

523
00:24:14,800 --> 00:24:16,840
Speaker 4: in his hands. And I want to see if Luana

524
00:24:16,920 --> 00:24:18,639
Speaker 4: Rumo could come up with a way to stop them,

525
00:24:18,680 --> 00:24:21,320
Speaker 4: because the Bengals have to win or they could be

526
00:24:21,320 --> 00:24:23,919
Speaker 4: pushing themselves out of playoff contention. And one of the

527
00:24:23,960 --> 00:24:26,680
Speaker 4: best quarterbacks in the NFL. And so those are two

528
00:24:26,720 --> 00:24:28,240
Speaker 4: things I'm really looking forward to seeing.

529
00:24:29,200 --> 00:24:32,160
Speaker 2: M hmm, I'm I'm just gonna add on the third.

530
00:24:32,200 --> 00:24:34,320
Speaker 2: I think the Saints going to l A and beat

531
00:24:34,359 --> 00:24:36,719
Speaker 2: the Chargers is what it is. That's that's my prediction.

532
00:24:36,840 --> 00:24:39,400
Speaker 3: I mean the Chargers. The Chargers aren't very good. Let's

533
00:24:39,400 --> 00:24:41,040
Speaker 3: hope they aren't the Denver Broncos.

534
00:24:41,400 --> 00:24:43,840
Speaker 2: Yeah, let's just let's just hope we're getting healthier. We're

535
00:24:43,840 --> 00:24:45,679
Speaker 2: getting healthier as the weeks go on. We just had

536
00:24:45,680 --> 00:24:49,520
Speaker 2: a mini buy cam not getting healthier.

537
00:24:49,240 --> 00:24:50,480
Speaker 1: You're getting healthier, cam.

538
00:24:52,160 --> 00:24:52,320
Speaker 3: Bro.

539
00:24:52,960 --> 00:24:53,240
Speaker 1: Yeah.

540
00:24:53,320 --> 00:24:57,160
Speaker 3: Yeah, they'll be going to canal.

541
00:24:57,119 --> 00:24:58,000
Speaker 1: Like no the o.

542
00:24:59,000 --> 00:25:01,280
Speaker 2: You know, back in the they used to hit Bourbon

543
00:25:01,320 --> 00:25:04,199
Speaker 2: and like I feel like the liquor would keep you

544
00:25:04,240 --> 00:25:07,280
Speaker 2: loose enough so you don't feel those pains. Now everybody's

545
00:25:07,320 --> 00:25:10,400
Speaker 2: you know, so locked in and focused in on prehab, rehab,

546
00:25:10,920 --> 00:25:13,479
Speaker 2: you know, and eating the right way. There's like a

547
00:25:13,560 --> 00:25:15,240
Speaker 2: rigid movement to the body.

548
00:25:15,280 --> 00:25:17,720
Speaker 1: Now, I don't you know that's so.

549
00:25:17,960 --> 00:25:22,159
Speaker 3: You guys are too healthy to.

550
00:25:20,880 --> 00:25:23,560

00:27:39,560 --> 00:27:44,919
Speaker 2: a legendary, Uh, to transition football, to transcend from just

593
00:27:44,960 --> 00:27:49,159

594

596
00:27:56,560 --> 00:27:58,680
Speaker 1: Man, that's what this game is all about. Uh.

597
00:27:58,760 --> 00:28:01,680
Speaker 2: For him to be now all you know the analysts,

598
00:28:02,520 --> 00:28:05,000
Speaker 2: A man who holds his own podcast, a man who

599
00:28:05,000 --> 00:28:08,919
Speaker 2: anchors shows. That's that's awesome to see. Uh. You know,

600
00:28:08,960 --> 00:28:11,159
Speaker 2: when you have a physical representation, you have something, you

601
00:28:11,160 --> 00:28:15,119
Speaker 2: can create a goal ass Uh. But we're talking about,

602
00:28:15,240 --> 00:28:16,560
Speaker 2: you know, back to what the.

603
00:28:16,520 --> 00:28:19,560
Speaker 1: Saints need to do. We're gonna just say we gotta

604
00:28:19,560 --> 00:28:21,120
Speaker 1: get a win and charge in LA.

605
00:28:21,240 --> 00:28:24,200
Speaker 2: We play the Chargers. You gotta go ahead and create

606
00:28:24,280 --> 00:28:28,359
Speaker 2: some opportunities. You utilize Alba Kamara as much as possible.

607
00:28:28,600 --> 00:28:30,879
Speaker 2: You have to be able to, you know, get the

608
00:28:30,920 --> 00:28:34,600
Speaker 2: ball early and often to a guy like Juwan Johnson

609
00:28:34,920 --> 00:28:37,359
Speaker 2: tight end. I'm gonna say, dark horse of the game.

610
00:28:37,480 --> 00:28:41,040
Speaker 2: He's gonna be amazing. I'm speaking fruition. Just you know,

611
00:28:41,240 --> 00:28:43,360
Speaker 2: our run attack ak of course leading the way. But

612
00:28:43,600 --> 00:28:47,160
Speaker 2: you got Jamal Williams and Kendre Miller, who you know

613
00:28:47,320 --> 00:28:49,760
Speaker 2: is back healthy and active again.

614
00:28:50,080 --> 00:28:52,240
Speaker 1: Healthy is the key. As the week's go.

615
00:28:52,280 --> 00:28:54,840
Speaker 2: On, we're starting to get some guys back, hopefully. You know,

616
00:28:54,920 --> 00:28:58,920
Speaker 2: we've gone from eight hour nine hours starters being injured

617
00:28:58,960 --> 00:29:01,960
Speaker 2: to now we're started to finally see them come back.

618
00:29:02,560 --> 00:29:05,360
Speaker 2: Let's get them back so we can get these winds

619
00:29:05,320 --> 00:29:10,440
Speaker 2: stacked up. You know, last week hurt. Thursday night you

620
00:29:10,520 --> 00:29:13,400
Speaker 2: lose a Denver Broncos and you lose to Sean Payton,

621
00:29:14,440 --> 00:29:17,320
Speaker 2: and yet you know there's there's light at the end

622
00:29:17,320 --> 00:29:19,120
Speaker 2: of the tunnel when you look at it and say, hey,

623
00:29:19,440 --> 00:29:20,920
Speaker 2: these are things that we need to clean up.

624
00:29:21,480 --> 00:29:22,640
Speaker 1: That's that's a that's.

625
