38
00:01:26,319 --> 00:01:31,160
Speaker 6: practice squad years, but going on your thirteen, which is

39
00:01:31,280 --> 00:01:31,920

00:01:38,840 --> 00:01:41,760
Speaker 1: have you had a long stint in Minnesota. Now you're

44
00:01:41,800 --> 00:01:45,200
Speaker 1: coming up on your third season in Carolina at this point,

45
00:01:45,280 --> 00:01:47,440
Speaker 1: what keeps you motivated to get out there every year?

46
00:01:48,360 --> 00:01:50,480
Speaker 6: I think the opportunity to get back to the playoffs.

47
00:01:50,560 --> 00:01:53,480
Speaker 6: You know, it's been a rough couple of years, and

48
00:01:53,840 --> 00:01:58,360
Speaker 6: just that opportunity to really be a part of building

49
00:01:58,360 --> 00:02:01,040
Speaker 6: something special was what kind of intrigued me to come

50
00:02:01,080 --> 00:02:03,600
Speaker 6: to Carolina in the first place, and didn't really necessarily

51
00:02:03,680 --> 00:02:05,560
Speaker 6: go to as playing the last couple of years, but

52
00:02:05,680 --> 00:02:09,160
Speaker 6: really excited about, you know, what the possibilities could be here,

53
00:02:09,240 --> 00:02:11,679
Speaker 6: and really what keeps me going is that possibility of

54
00:02:11,720 --> 00:02:14,959
Speaker 6: getting back to the playoffs, making a run, being competitive,

55
00:02:16,080 --> 00:02:17,200
Speaker 6: and then and then.

56
00:02:17,120 --> 00:02:17,800
Speaker 4: Shut it down.

57
00:02:19,280 --> 00:02:21,800
Speaker 3: Man, listen, you're one hell of a competitor. Man Adam

58
00:02:21,840 --> 00:02:23,440
Speaker 3: A huge fan of yours. Man Like, you've been a

59
00:02:23,480 --> 00:02:26,799
Speaker 3: fantasy darling for years, Man Like, has any fans ever

60
00:02:26,840 --> 00:02:28,600
Speaker 3: reached out to you about their lineups?

61
00:02:30,360 --> 00:02:30,800
Speaker 4: I get.

62
00:02:30,840 --> 00:02:34,320
Speaker 6: I get a lot of fantasy football talk pretty much

63
00:02:34,440 --> 00:02:37,600
Speaker 6: every day, whether I'm at my kids baseball game or

64
00:02:38,320 --> 00:02:40,480
Speaker 6: just going to the dinner with my wife. A lot

65
00:02:40,520 --> 00:02:43,240
Speaker 6: of fantasy football. Hey, man, you were on my team.

66
00:02:43,280 --> 00:02:45,840
Speaker 6: I appreciate you. I get a lot of the my

67
00:02:45,840 --> 00:02:49,440
Speaker 6: One of my favorite lines is, hey, my fantasy football

68
00:02:49,440 --> 00:02:52,600
Speaker 6: team was super unique. The name was I got a feeling,

69
00:02:54,400 --> 00:02:56,880
Speaker 6: so I always I always play along with it, like,

70
00:02:56,960 --> 00:02:57,320
Speaker 6: oh my.

71
00:02:57,240 --> 00:02:59,440
Speaker 4: Gosh, I've never heard that before. That's amazing.

72
00:03:00,080 --> 00:03:03,400
Speaker 6: And even though I've heard that five million times, but

73
00:03:03,480 --> 00:03:04,080
Speaker 6: I do love it.

74
00:03:04,120 --> 00:03:07,000
Speaker 4: I do love it. Do you play? I do not play.

75
00:03:07,040 --> 00:03:10,679
Speaker 6: I played a lot in college, but in will once

76
00:03:10,720 --> 00:03:14,000
Speaker 6: I'm done. We're retired, but with all the gambling rules

77
00:03:14,040 --> 00:03:15,639
Speaker 6: and all that with the NFL, I just kind of

78
00:03:15,639 --> 00:03:17,160
Speaker 6: stay away from it for now.

79
00:03:17,680 --> 00:03:19,760
Speaker 4: But as soon as I'm done playing, I will get

80
00:03:19,800 --> 00:03:21,160
Speaker 4: back into it when.

81
00:03:21,040 --> 00:03:24,120
Speaker 5: You're playing someone you might be drafting is Bryce Young

82
00:03:24,200 --> 00:03:27,320
Speaker 5: and as fantasy players, and we loved what we saw

83
00:03:27,320 --> 00:03:29,640
Speaker 5: in year two out of him and the growth, but

84
00:03:30,160 --> 00:03:32,040
Speaker 5: you see it up close and personal. So what was

85
00:03:32,040 --> 00:03:34,679
Speaker 5: the biggest change or growth you saw with Bryce Young

86
00:03:34,680 --> 00:03:35,760
Speaker 5: from year one to year two?

87
00:03:36,320 --> 00:03:38,640
Speaker 6: That reason, right there is probably the biggest reason why

88
00:03:39,000 --> 00:03:42,000
Speaker 6: I'm coming back and playing another year, just to see

89
00:03:42,000 --> 00:03:45,920
Speaker 6: that growth, see his attitude, see his influence in the

90
00:03:45,960 --> 00:03:48,600
Speaker 6: locker room, and just how things had changed over.

91
00:03:48,440 --> 00:03:50,400
Speaker 4: The last two years. You know, he's always been a

92
00:03:50,440 --> 00:03:54,640
Speaker 4: great person and you could see the potential. And he's

93
00:03:54,680 --> 00:03:56,920
Speaker 4: a football player, right He's been doing it his whole life,

94
00:03:57,000 --> 00:03:59,960
Speaker 4: and that's a lot of what he has done since

95
00:04:00,040 --> 00:04:02,600
Speaker 4: he was a young kid is revolved around football. So

96
00:04:02,640 --> 00:04:04,760
Speaker 4: you know he's a good football player and you see

97
00:04:04,760 --> 00:04:06,440
Speaker 4: a day in day out, but you really want to

98
00:04:06,480 --> 00:04:09,720
Speaker 4: see that next step of his leadership and how he

99
00:04:09,760 --> 00:04:11,960
Speaker 4: can kind of carry that team to the next level,

100
00:04:12,080 --> 00:04:15,040
Speaker 4: especially at the quarterback position. And you really saw that

101
00:04:15,120 --> 00:04:18,400
Speaker 4: the last five six seven weeks and through all the

102
00:04:18,440 --> 00:04:21,240
Speaker 4: adversity through year one and then going to year two

103
00:04:21,279 --> 00:04:24,600
Speaker 4: and more adversity with being benched and then coming back

104
00:04:24,640 --> 00:04:27,000
Speaker 4: and really just saying, hey, you know what, I'm going

105
00:04:27,080 --> 00:04:29,120
Speaker 4: to be the best I can be to be a.

106
00:04:29,160 --> 00:04:33,400
Speaker 6: Leader, maybe not just necessarily be myself, because I think

107
00:04:33,720 --> 00:04:35,279
Speaker 6: him as a person, he's kind of a little bit

108
00:04:35,320 --> 00:04:38,080
Speaker 6: more laid back, but I think he realized that I

109
00:04:38,120 --> 00:04:40,440
Speaker 6: can really make a difference if I just do what

110
00:04:40,520 --> 00:04:42,920
Speaker 6: it takes to help this team win. And he was

111
00:04:42,960 --> 00:04:45,200
Speaker 6: able to do that in a big way and really

112
00:04:45,320 --> 00:04:48,279
Speaker 6: lead and play at a high level and excited about

113
00:04:48,520 --> 00:04:49,120
Speaker 6: year three.

114
00:04:49,520 --> 00:04:51,920
Speaker 1: You are the veteran in on what is a fairly

115
00:04:52,000 --> 00:04:54,520
Speaker 1: young offense and you had a couple of rookie wide

116
00:04:54,520 --> 00:04:57,119
Speaker 1: receivers last year with Jalen Cooker and Save your League

117
00:04:57,120 --> 00:05:00,200
Speaker 1: at What did you see from those guys and what

118
00:05:00,240 --> 00:05:02,279
Speaker 1: are your expectations for them going forward?

119
00:05:03,279 --> 00:05:05,520
Speaker 6: Well, I would say I saw a ton of potential

120
00:05:05,760 --> 00:05:09,919
Speaker 6: watching both of those guys through practices, training camp, and

121
00:05:09,960 --> 00:05:13,680
Speaker 6: then obviously in games. You just see the potential that's there,

122
00:05:14,279 --> 00:05:18,120
Speaker 6: the big plays, the ability to make contested catches, Their

123
00:05:18,160 --> 00:05:21,680
Speaker 6: athleticism and their size is really what sticks out to me.

124
00:05:22,279 --> 00:05:26,000
Speaker 6: They're both huge dudes. I mean two hundred and thirty

125
00:05:26,040 --> 00:05:28,479
Speaker 6: two hundred and twenty five pounds running the way that

126
00:05:28,560 --> 00:05:31,599
Speaker 6: they both run. You can't find that on the street.

127
00:05:31,720 --> 00:05:35,839
Speaker 6: You're not finding that anywhere. And so their ability to

128
00:05:36,200 --> 00:05:39,960
Speaker 6: play big and play big and big moments. Jalen Kocher

129
00:05:40,240 --> 00:05:42,600
Speaker 6: had a lot of big plays and big moments. So

130
00:05:42,960 --> 00:05:44,920
Speaker 6: again I say all that to say that there's a

131
00:05:44,960 --> 00:05:49,040
Speaker 6: ton of potential. I think like any young player, there's

132
00:05:49,120 --> 00:05:53,599
Speaker 6: just fine tuning and not necessarily just their games, but

133
00:05:53,720 --> 00:05:57,480
Speaker 6: fine tuning where their attention and detail is in the offseason,

134
00:05:58,040 --> 00:06:00,400
Speaker 6: in the way that they watch film, in the way

135
00:06:00,400 --> 00:06:03,680
Speaker 6: that they prepare. That's kind of where I try to

136
00:06:04,080 --> 00:06:06,680
Speaker 6: make my influence is what does it take to be

137
00:06:06,760 --> 00:06:09,440
Speaker 6: a pro and what does that look like? Not just

138
00:06:09,960 --> 00:06:13,200
Speaker 6: on Sundays, not just week one through week seventeen, but

139
00:06:13,600 --> 00:06:15,920
Speaker 6: what are you doing all year round? And what does

140
00:06:15,920 --> 00:06:18,840
Speaker 6: that look like? So I'm excited. I'm excited for their

141
00:06:18,839 --> 00:06:22,320
Speaker 6: careers and to watch it unfold because again, they have

142
00:06:22,560 --> 00:06:25,040
Speaker 6: great potential and are there great guys.

143
00:06:25,520 --> 00:06:28,400
Speaker 3: The NFL Draft is in sixteen days. What is some

144
00:06:28,480 --> 00:06:31,080
Speaker 3: advice you would give like a rookie wide receiver entering

145
00:06:31,080 --> 00:06:34,080
Speaker 3: the NFL today, Especially what do you being an undrafted

146
00:06:34,080 --> 00:06:36,920
Speaker 3: guy yourself, like, what could you give them?

147
00:06:37,440 --> 00:06:39,960
Speaker 6: Well, if I had to break it down into bullet points,

148
00:06:40,640 --> 00:06:43,719
Speaker 6: I would say, I would say it's pretty simple. I

149
00:06:43,720 --> 00:06:48,440
Speaker 6: would say focus, I would say preparation, and I would

150
00:06:48,440 --> 00:06:51,000
Speaker 6: say have fun. And those are three bullet points that

151
00:06:51,040 --> 00:06:54,080
Speaker 6: I'm trying to instill in my boys as they kind

152
00:06:54,080 --> 00:06:56,960
Speaker 6: of enter this sports journey right playing baseball and flight

153
00:06:56,960 --> 00:06:58,480
Speaker 6: football and doing these other sports.

154
00:06:58,480 --> 00:06:59,000
Speaker 4: Basketball.

155
00:07:00,040 --> 00:07:03,280
Speaker 6: It's like, those three things are really really important, and

156
00:07:03,320 --> 00:07:06,320
Speaker 6: no one really ever talks about. Everybody talks about, you know,

157
00:07:06,360 --> 00:07:08,880
Speaker 6: how many points you score in basketball, you know how

158
00:07:08,880 --> 00:07:11,640
Speaker 6: many hits you had in baseball, but but what really

159
00:07:11,680 --> 00:07:15,840
Speaker 6: matters is that preparation. What really matters is that focus

160
00:07:15,880 --> 00:07:19,120
Speaker 6: and detail, and then and then just having fun and

161
00:07:19,120 --> 00:07:21,000
Speaker 6: go and lend it loose and lend it fly, and

162
00:07:20,760 --> 00:07:23,960
Speaker 6: being confident in that preparation. So those are the three

163
00:07:24,000 --> 00:07:26,400
Speaker 6: things I'd say, is just really focus on those things

164
00:07:26,800 --> 00:07:29,840
Speaker 6: and everything else will take That will take care of

165
00:07:29,880 --> 00:07:33,800
Speaker 6: everything else. And that's really what I've tried to implement

166
00:07:33,840 --> 00:07:36,720
Speaker 6: into my career and day in and day out.

167
00:07:36,600 --> 00:07:37,920
Speaker 4: And focusing on the moment.

168
00:07:38,160 --> 00:07:41,280
Speaker 6: And and it's played out played out pretty well.

169
00:07:42,040 --> 00:07:44,560
Speaker 1: You talk about, you know, your sons and their sports

170
00:07:44,640 --> 00:07:47,080
Speaker 1: journey that they're going on right now, and you see

171
00:07:47,120 --> 00:07:50,760
Speaker 1: so many kids who are I guess, sort of specializing

172
00:07:50,800 --> 00:07:53,000
Speaker 1: in a sport where they'll do that sport all year long.

173
00:07:53,080 --> 00:07:55,600
Speaker 1: You talk about your kids playing different sports. I mean,

174
00:07:55,640 --> 00:07:58,160
Speaker 1: for you having made it now to the NFL being

175
00:07:58,200 --> 00:08:02,120
Speaker 1: a professional athlete, is there a value and sort of diversifying,

176
00:08:02,240 --> 00:08:04,320
Speaker 1: especially for kids at a younger age just trying to

177
00:08:04,400 --> 00:08:05,720
Speaker 1: figure out what they want to do.

178
00:08:06,800 --> 00:08:08,880
Speaker 6: Number One, I wouldn't be where I am today without

179
00:08:08,920 --> 00:08:12,200
Speaker 6: playing multiple sports. Played four sports all the way through

180
00:08:12,280 --> 00:08:14,440
Speaker 6: high school, and I still swear to this day that

181
00:08:14,480 --> 00:08:16,240
Speaker 6: I would not be in the NFL if it wasn't

182
00:08:16,240 --> 00:08:18,960
Speaker 6: for all of those sports that I played throughout high

183
00:08:18,960 --> 00:08:21,440
Speaker 6: school and the different lessons that I learned in each

184
00:08:21,480 --> 00:08:24,080
Speaker 6: of those sports, and the different body movements right, and

185
00:08:24,160 --> 00:08:27,480
Speaker 6: body mechanics and movement skills that I learned from basketball.

186
00:08:28,160 --> 00:08:31,240
Speaker 4: I applied to football all the time.

187
00:08:31,320 --> 00:08:34,440
Speaker 6: And so I talk to my sons all the time like, hey, like,

188
00:08:35,080 --> 00:08:37,600
Speaker 6: you might not love basketball as much as you love

189
00:08:37,640 --> 00:08:40,760
Speaker 6: flight football, but when you go out and play basketball

190
00:08:40,760 --> 00:08:43,600
Speaker 6: and focus and you work hard at it, you're actually

191
00:08:43,640 --> 00:08:44,680
Speaker 6: getting better at football.

192
00:08:45,040 --> 00:08:47,239
Speaker 4: So as much as you maybe would.

193
00:08:47,040 --> 00:08:51,280
Speaker 6: Rather be in playing flight football or rather be playing baseball,

194
00:08:51,679 --> 00:08:54,600
Speaker 6: those sports are all helping you be better at the

195
00:08:54,600 --> 00:08:57,880
Speaker 6: sport maybe that you gravitate towards. Also, I think at

196
00:08:57,920 --> 00:08:59,760
Speaker 6: a really young age, I think you got to play

197
00:09:00,080 --> 00:09:04,120
Speaker 6: soccer and and try everything, see what you really fall

198
00:09:04,160 --> 00:09:06,920
Speaker 6: in love with. And then once you kind of see

199
00:09:06,960 --> 00:09:10,360
Speaker 6: the sports that you really enjoy and maybe are more

200
00:09:10,440 --> 00:09:14,200
Speaker 6: natural at and want to spend that time on, that's

201
00:09:14,280 --> 00:09:16,719
Speaker 6: when you all right, I'm gonna I'm gonna focus more

202
00:09:16,720 --> 00:09:20,560
Speaker 6: on like football and baseball, because now that you have

203
00:09:20,600 --> 00:09:22,440
Speaker 6: that love and passion for it, now you want to

204
00:09:22,480 --> 00:09:24,720
Speaker 6: actually practice and you want to work hard, and you

205
00:09:24,760 --> 00:09:26,040
Speaker 6: want to get better at your sport.

206
00:09:26,600 --> 00:09:27,800
Speaker 4: So that's really what I try to.

207
00:09:27,800 --> 00:09:30,240
Speaker 6: Work with my boys, and it's been really fun to

208
00:09:30,280 --> 00:09:32,839
Speaker 6: see what they gravitate towards and what they want to

209
00:09:32,880 --> 00:09:35,720
Speaker 6: spend time on in the backyard, and I'm here.

210
00:09:35,559 --> 00:09:36,040
Speaker 4: For it all.

211
00:09:37,000 --> 00:09:39,640
Speaker 3: Are you the best hooper in the Panthers wide receiver room?

212
00:09:41,400 --> 00:09:42,200
Speaker 4: I have no questions.

213
00:09:42,240 --> 00:09:43,600
Speaker 2: I'm super confident.

214
00:09:44,240 --> 00:09:47,280
Speaker 6: I'm not not the best dunker because we have a

215
00:09:47,280 --> 00:09:54,160
Speaker 6: couple of guys that have insanely high verticals and so

216
00:09:54,360 --> 00:09:56,480
Speaker 6: I'm not going to get a dunk contest with those guys.

217
00:09:56,480 --> 00:09:59,760
Speaker 6: But basketball was my first love so I think I

218
00:09:59,800 --> 00:10:03,160
Speaker 6: can score, I can defend, and I can be a

219
00:10:03,240 --> 00:10:05,920
Speaker 6: kind of a better all around basketball player than anyone

220
00:10:06,280 --> 00:10:07,040
Speaker 6: in the receiver room.

221
00:10:07,640 --> 00:10:09,480
Speaker 5: I love the confidence, and I would have been saying

222
00:10:09,480 --> 00:10:13,880
Speaker 5: if you said someone else was better than you. But us,

223
00:10:13,960 --> 00:10:17,600
Speaker 5: fantasy guys, we love offense. I mean, there's no surprise there.

224
00:10:17,640 --> 00:10:20,200
Speaker 5: We always want offensive minded coaches and stuff. You spent

225
00:10:20,280 --> 00:10:22,760
Speaker 5: a lot of time playing under Mike Zimmer, a defensive

226
00:10:22,760 --> 00:10:25,920
Speaker 5: minded coach. Now you're under Dave Kanalis, who's an offensive

227
00:10:25,920 --> 00:10:30,240
Speaker 5: minded coach. What are the differences between play like play

228
00:10:30,280 --> 00:10:32,800
Speaker 5: style under these coaches, And do we make a big

229
00:10:32,880 --> 00:10:36,240
Speaker 5: enough deal about like we want offensive coaches or so.

230
00:10:36,240 --> 00:10:37,480
Speaker 6: So I don't know if I'm going to answer this

231
00:10:37,559 --> 00:10:40,120
Speaker 6: question perfectly, but but the way my brain goes right

232
00:10:40,160 --> 00:10:42,320
Speaker 6: to this this is I think of it this way.

233
00:10:42,840 --> 00:10:46,720
Speaker 6: When you have a defensive head coach, you have multiple

234
00:10:46,760 --> 00:10:49,959
Speaker 6: offensive coordinators for your career, because either they're going to

235
00:10:50,040 --> 00:10:52,880
Speaker 6: be really good offensive coordinators and they're gonna go get

236
00:10:52,880 --> 00:10:55,440
Speaker 6: ahead job, or they're going to be averaged to not

237
00:10:55,640 --> 00:10:59,520
Speaker 6: very good and they're gonna get fired or replaced. So

238
00:10:59,559 --> 00:11:02,880
Speaker 6: there's only two options, and both of those options get

239
00:11:02,880 --> 00:11:05,320
Speaker 6: it. It means you're gonna get a new offensive coordinator. So

240
00:11:05,360 --> 00:11:06,800
Speaker 6: I say that all to say that when you have

241
00:11:06,840 --> 00:11:09,240
Speaker 6: a defense hed coach, you can have multiple offensive coordinators,

242
00:11:09,240 --> 00:11:12,280
Speaker 6: are multiple offenses, so it's really hard to maybe necessarily

243
00:11:12,280 --> 00:11:16,080
Speaker 6: get into a rhythm and really trust and understand the offenses.

244
00:11:16,440 --> 00:11:18,760
Speaker 6: When you have an offensive head coach, you have the

245
00:11:18,800 --> 00:11:23,000
Speaker 6: same offense until he's gone, it's it's it's gonna be

246
00:11:23,360 --> 00:11:26,520
Speaker 6: his guy, his offense. Whether he's calling the players or

247
00:11:26,520 --> 00:11:28,920
Speaker 6: the offensive coordinators calling the players, it's it's gonna be

248
00:11:28,960 --> 00:11:32,160
Speaker 6: the same system. And so you can really get into

249
00:11:32,160 --> 00:11:36,520
Speaker 6: a rhythm, you can really understand it as an offensive player,

250
00:11:36,760 --> 00:11:39,880
Speaker 6: and you know what you expect. So I'll say that

251
00:11:39,920 --> 00:11:44,000
Speaker 6: all to say that it's probably for fantasy football reasons,

252
00:11:44,160 --> 00:11:46,600
Speaker 6: is probably better to have an offensive head coach. Now

253
00:11:46,600 --> 00:11:48,959
Speaker 6: winning and losing games and winning a Super Bowl that's

254
00:11:49,000 --> 00:11:51,480
Speaker 6: a whole different topic, and I don't think it matters.

255
00:11:52,320 --> 00:11:54,959
Speaker 6: But you're just gonna have two different sides of what

256
00:11:55,040 --> 00:11:57,120
Speaker 6: that looks like. Either gonna have a bunch of defensive

257
00:11:57,120 --> 00:11:59,679
Speaker 6: coordinators and if defensive systems are gonna have a bunch

258
00:11:59,720 --> 00:12:02,640
Speaker 6: of different offensive systems and defense and offensive coordinators. So

259
00:12:03,280 --> 00:12:04,200
Speaker 6: That's the way I look at it.

260
00:12:05,120 --> 00:12:07,600
Speaker 1: So you you know, in your career in Minnesota, you

261
00:12:07,640 --> 00:12:09,920
Speaker 1: were primarily lining up wide most of the time. This

262
00:12:10,040 --> 00:12:12,880
Speaker 1: past year under coach Canalis, you spent a lot of

263
00:12:12,920 --> 00:12:14,000
Speaker 1: time in the slot.

264
00:12:14,559 --> 00:12:16,480
Speaker 2: What was that change like for you? How much of

265
00:12:16,520 --> 00:12:17,520
Speaker 2: an adjustment was that.

266
00:12:18,320 --> 00:12:21,200
Speaker 6: Yeah, the last two years, they've really kind of put

267
00:12:21,280 --> 00:12:23,120
Speaker 6: me more in the slot. I think towards the end

268
00:12:23,120 --> 00:12:24,960
Speaker 6: of last year, I started to do a little bit

269
00:12:24,960 --> 00:12:28,120
Speaker 6: more both, you know, a little bit and a little

270
00:12:28,160 --> 00:12:32,320
Speaker 6: bit out. I prefer being outside, but at the end

271
00:12:32,320 --> 00:12:33,719
Speaker 6: of the day, when I'm on the field and that

272
00:12:33,840 --> 00:12:35,720
Speaker 6: ball's in the air, I'm going to get it. So

273
00:12:37,720 --> 00:12:39,840
Speaker 6: it's it is what it is. I love the game

274
00:12:39,840 --> 00:12:44,680
Speaker 6: of football. I love I love game plans, I love schemes, plays.

275
00:12:44,679 --> 00:12:46,440
Speaker 6: You know, I'm drawing up players for my son's played

276
00:12:46,440 --> 00:12:49,080
Speaker 6: football team right now, So I enjoy that part of

277
00:12:49,080 --> 00:12:51,800
Speaker 6: the game. But yeah, I would much rather if I

278
00:12:51,840 --> 00:12:53,720
Speaker 6: had to, like, Hey, where are you going to play?

279
00:12:53,760 --> 00:12:55,800
Speaker 6: You have one one last player your career. Where are

280
00:12:55,800 --> 00:12:56,360
Speaker 6: you going to play?

281
00:12:56,520 --> 00:13:00,000
Speaker 4: I'm picking outside, I'm playing X and I'm going to work.

282
00:13:02,240 --> 00:13:03,199
Speaker 2: Like you talk about, you know.

283
00:13:03,840 --> 00:13:05,719
Speaker 1: Drawing up plays and and doing this sort of thing go,

284
00:13:05,800 --> 00:13:08,400
Speaker 1: so talk about maybe playing some fantasy football. Have you

285
00:13:08,520 --> 00:13:11,160
Speaker 1: mapped out what what is next for Adam Feeling when

286
00:13:11,200 --> 00:13:13,679
Speaker 1: the NFL journey is done? Oh?

287
00:13:13,720 --> 00:13:17,240
Speaker 6: Yeah, absolutely, I was almost I was almost done.

288
00:13:17,320 --> 00:13:20,280
Speaker 4: So I had a plan with my off season is

289
00:13:20,280 --> 00:13:23,400
Speaker 4: gonna look like this offseason and and uh but yeah, no,

290
00:13:23,520 --> 00:13:24,360
Speaker 4: I know what I'm gonna do.

291
00:13:24,480 --> 00:13:24,600
Speaker 1: Uh.

292
00:13:25,320 --> 00:13:28,960
Speaker 6: I really enjoy coaching youth sports, coaching my kids. I

293
00:13:29,000 --> 00:13:30,760
Speaker 6: ask them every day to make sure that it's okay

294
00:13:30,800 --> 00:13:33,319
Speaker 6: with them that I'm coaching them, and so far it's

295
00:13:33,360 --> 00:13:34,240
Speaker 6: been positive that.

296
00:13:34,160 --> 00:13:35,400
Speaker 4: They want me to keep doing it.

297
00:13:35,480 --> 00:13:38,880
Speaker 6: But I really enjoy that and not only necessarily not

298
00:13:38,960 --> 00:13:42,199
Speaker 6: really just for my kids sake, but I love coaching

299
00:13:42,200 --> 00:13:45,120
Speaker 6: the youth. They you can just you gain so much

300
00:13:45,120 --> 00:13:47,160
Speaker 6: ground over the course of the season. It's they just

301
00:13:47,200 --> 00:13:49,920
Speaker 6: get so much better and they're more confident, and it's

302
00:13:49,960 --> 00:13:51,240
Speaker 6: just so fun to see that and be.

303
00:13:51,200 --> 00:13:52,400
Speaker 4: A part of that. Uh.

304
00:13:52,440 --> 00:13:54,640
Speaker 6: So I'll be I'll be coaching a lot of youth sports,

305
00:13:55,640 --> 00:13:58,319
Speaker 6: maybe doing a little bit of media stuff on the side,

306
00:13:58,760 --> 00:14:00,080
Speaker 6: and uh, playing a lot.

307
00:13:59,960 --> 00:14:03,480
Speaker 4: Of golf and trying to get into some big golf tournaments.

308
00:14:03,920 --> 00:14:07,040
Speaker 3: That's awesome, man, I got ass now last season you

309
00:14:07,360 --> 00:14:09,600
Speaker 3: took a bite of that raccoon from Xavier, like from

310
00:14:09,679 --> 00:14:10,280
Speaker 3: one to ten.

311
00:14:10,600 --> 00:14:11,720
Speaker 2: I mean it was it good.

312
00:14:11,960 --> 00:14:13,440
Speaker 3: It was room temperature too, right.

313
00:14:14,160 --> 00:14:17,040
Speaker 6: Yeah, it wasn't the greatest experience of all the time.

314
00:14:17,080 --> 00:14:19,080
Speaker 6: And I'm glad I did it because that's my guy

315
00:14:20,000 --> 00:14:22,800
Speaker 6: and he swears by it. But but yeah, it was

316
00:14:22,880 --> 00:14:25,520
Speaker 6: it was. It was fine. It was It was very average.

317
00:14:26,160 --> 00:14:27,800
Speaker 6: Like you said, it was room temperature. It was in

318
00:14:27,840 --> 00:14:30,320
Speaker 6: a tough wear that had been sitting out for hours.

319
00:14:30,400 --> 00:14:34,400
Speaker 6: So not the greatest experience, but glad I did it.

320
00:14:34,960 --> 00:14:37,400
Speaker 3: Anyway, we can uh try to get that in a

321
00:14:37,440 --> 00:14:39,880
Speaker 3: Minnesota hot dish, like you see yourself putting that in there.

322
00:14:40,400 --> 00:14:40,880
Speaker 4: That's true.

323
00:14:41,040 --> 00:14:43,560
Speaker 6: You know, it might not be bad in a hot dish,

324
00:14:43,560 --> 00:14:45,280
Speaker 6: because I feel like that's the best part of the

325
00:14:45,320 --> 00:14:45,680
Speaker 6: hot dish.

326
00:14:45,680 --> 00:14:46,240
Speaker 4: It doesn't matter.

327
00:14:46,320 --> 00:14:49,240
Speaker 6: Like you got cheese, got potatoes, you got you know,

328
00:14:49,680 --> 00:14:53,440
Speaker 6: uh maybe some uh some corn, so like you can

329
00:14:53,520 --> 00:14:56,240
Speaker 6: kind of mask the taste of everything and it's all good.

330
00:14:56,760 --> 00:14:58,840
Speaker 3: Any way that he could probably get him to taste

331
00:14:58,840 --> 00:15:02,560
Speaker 3: some loofist. Has he every explored that.

332
00:15:05,000 --> 00:15:06,480
Speaker 4: That's true? Maybe that's what I should do.

333
00:15:06,640 --> 00:15:09,960
Speaker 6: I think I'm gonna bring out some total Minnesota dishes

334
00:15:10,000 --> 00:15:14,520
Speaker 6: and see if you'll try what she probably will.

335
00:15:14,560 --> 00:15:17,560
Speaker 5: While we're on the subject, Look it's not I hope

336
00:15:17,600 --> 00:15:18,720
Speaker 5: your answers not raccoon.

337
00:15:18,840 --> 00:15:21,360
Speaker 2: But what's your favorite Carolina food?

338
00:15:22,320 --> 00:15:22,680
Speaker 5: Oh?

339
00:15:22,800 --> 00:15:26,520
Speaker 4: Favorite Carolina food? That's a great question.

340
00:15:26,520 --> 00:15:28,720
Speaker 6: I'm not a big like southern food guy, especially while

341
00:15:28,720 --> 00:15:31,000
Speaker 6: I'm still playing because I'm trying to stay fast and

342
00:15:31,040 --> 00:15:34,720
Speaker 6: fit in that southern food, you know, a little greasy,

343
00:15:34,960 --> 00:15:35,680
Speaker 6: little fried.

344
00:15:35,880 --> 00:15:38,960
Speaker 4: But favorite favorite Carolina food?

345
00:15:39,040 --> 00:15:42,200
Speaker 6: I mean, I think the barbecue is pretty good. I

346
00:15:42,200 --> 00:15:44,960
Speaker 6: think the Wings. There's a pretty couple of good Wings

347
00:15:45,000 --> 00:15:48,400
Speaker 6: spots that I enjoy. So I'd have to say probably

348
00:15:48,440 --> 00:15:48,880
Speaker 6: the Wings.

349
00:15:49,880 --> 00:15:53,680
Speaker 1: Favorite place to play in the stadium, city wherever? Where

350
00:15:53,960 --> 00:15:56,440
Speaker 1: do you just like going when you're playing?

351
00:15:57,160 --> 00:15:59,240
Speaker 6: Okay, well I got two sides of this, so I

352
00:15:59,240 --> 00:16:01,720
Speaker 6: got my favorit replace to play as far as like

353
00:16:02,240 --> 00:16:06,760
Speaker 6: going in there and winning is lambeau Field, because there's

354
00:16:06,800 --> 00:16:09,520
Speaker 6: nothing greater than like just coming out of there.

355
00:16:09,360 --> 00:16:09,840
Speaker 4: With a W.

356
00:16:10,280 --> 00:16:11,880
Speaker 6: Now, there's nothing worse than coming out there with a

357
00:16:12,000 --> 00:16:14,680
Speaker 6: with an L because you know, they got a lot

358
00:16:14,680 --> 00:16:16,760
Speaker 6: of they got a great fan base that cares a

359
00:16:16,800 --> 00:16:18,880
Speaker 6: lot about their team, and they'll let you know that

360
00:16:18,920 --> 00:16:19,960
Speaker 6: you that you lost.

361
00:16:20,080 --> 00:16:23,160
Speaker 4: But one of my favorite places to play, though.

362
00:16:23,200 --> 00:16:26,560
Speaker 6: I think just atmosphere wise, I think it's Seattle when

363
00:16:26,560 --> 00:16:29,880
Speaker 6: you show up there, just the energy that fan base

364
00:16:29,960 --> 00:16:32,720
Speaker 6: they bring it, and so I think there's just there's

365
00:16:32,720 --> 00:16:35,240
Speaker 6: just something about that atmosphere that's like, Man, this is

366
00:16:35,400 --> 00:16:37,720
Speaker 6: this is why we do it, Like this is the NFL,

367
00:16:38,120 --> 00:16:40,280
Speaker 6: and this is what it's supposed to look like and

368
00:16:40,400 --> 00:16:43,280
Speaker 6: feel like. And the same thing in Minnesota. I think

369
00:16:43,280 --> 00:16:45,800
Speaker 6: I think it's very similar. You know, I haven't played

370
00:16:45,800 --> 00:16:49,240
Speaker 6: there as an opponent, but I would imagine it's very similar.

371
00:16:49,560 --> 00:16:52,600
Speaker 6: Just that atmosphere and that kind of that ring and

372
00:16:53,000 --> 00:16:55,520
Speaker 6: energy that you feel when you walk in to go

373
00:16:55,560 --> 00:16:58,480
Speaker 6: play in that stadium. Uh, there's just there's just nothing

374
00:16:58,640 --> 00:17:02,040
Speaker 6: like it, and it makes it just it makes everything,

375
00:17:02,160 --> 00:17:05,280
Speaker 6: all the hard work and dedication and sacrifice that you

376
00:17:05,320 --> 00:17:07,080
Speaker 6: make in the austity, that makes it all worth it.

377
00:17:08,000 --> 00:17:09,440
Speaker 2: What is it about Green Bay?

378
00:17:09,520 --> 00:17:12,240
Speaker 5: Because you are far from the first NFC North player

379
00:17:12,280 --> 00:17:14,359
Speaker 5: to be like, I love going to Lambeau and beating

380
00:17:14,359 --> 00:17:17,080
Speaker 5: them because it feels like every player who plays in

381
00:17:17,119 --> 00:17:19,640
Speaker 5: that division wants to beat up on the Packers.

382
00:17:20,560 --> 00:17:22,640
Speaker 4: Yeah. I mean, well, I grew up hating the Packers.

383
00:17:22,680 --> 00:17:25,200
Speaker 6: I grew up a huge Vikings fan, so I think

384
00:17:25,240 --> 00:17:29,840
Speaker 6: there's a little bit added extra for me individually. And

385
00:17:29,880 --> 00:17:32,440
Speaker 6: then I also think that just the tradition there, right,

386
00:17:32,520 --> 00:17:36,359
Speaker 6: They've always they're always good, they've been good for a

387
00:17:36,480 --> 00:17:40,600
Speaker 6: long long time, and just the tradition of that that

388
00:17:40,720 --> 00:17:44,680
Speaker 6: stadium in particular, there's just there's just something different right

389
00:17:44,720 --> 00:17:48,240
Speaker 6: about the organization. So it just makes it special to

390
00:17:48,440 --> 00:17:51,840
Speaker 6: go in there and play a good team and a

391
00:17:51,880 --> 00:17:53,360
Speaker 6: good organization and win.

392
00:17:54,040 --> 00:17:56,360
Speaker 3: So Adam, these guys for the past year, they've been

393
00:17:56,440 --> 00:17:59,159
Speaker 3: bullying me to go watch the show Severn, So I

394
00:17:59,200 --> 00:18:01,399
Speaker 3: gotta know, are you of it? Like, have you been watching?

395
00:18:02,040 --> 00:18:06,000
Speaker 4: Heck, yeah, gotta I can't believe you haven't watched it. Yes,

396
00:18:07,359 --> 00:18:08,480
Speaker 4: look I have all.

397
00:18:08,359 --> 00:18:10,960
Speaker 3: The streaming services, like I had to convince the wife

398
00:18:10,960 --> 00:18:11,800
Speaker 3: to get another one.

399
00:18:11,880 --> 00:18:14,399
Speaker 2: So that's what the hold. That was my bad.

400
00:18:14,720 --> 00:18:16,879
Speaker 6: Well, you gotta just you just got to add the

401
00:18:16,920 --> 00:18:21,199
Speaker 6: package and then you you grind out, you know, two seasons,

402
00:18:21,200 --> 00:18:23,240
Speaker 6: and then you cancel like it only costs you one

403
00:18:23,280 --> 00:18:24,560
Speaker 6: month worth of subscription.

404
00:18:24,680 --> 00:18:29,800
Speaker 4: You're good. I cleared it in four days. I am hooked.

405
00:18:29,880 --> 00:18:31,000
Speaker 2: Where is season three?

406
00:18:31,320 --> 00:18:34,000
Speaker 1: So so then we got to ask you, dude, Adam,

407
00:18:34,240 --> 00:18:37,200
Speaker 1: are you are you seeing any Mark or Audi Mark?

408
00:18:37,240 --> 00:18:38,600
Speaker 2: I mean, where do you fall in this thing?

409
00:18:39,320 --> 00:18:39,520
Speaker 4: Yeah?

410
00:18:39,600 --> 00:18:42,360
Speaker 6: I did not like the way season two ended. Spoiler

411
00:18:42,359 --> 00:18:46,160
Speaker 6: alert Hopefully no one's that's listening hasn't seen the last episode.

412
00:18:46,200 --> 00:18:49,959
Speaker 6: But man like I really wanted him to go with

413
00:18:50,000 --> 00:18:54,120
Speaker 6: his wife. So that was where I stood on that

414
00:18:54,359 --> 00:18:57,000
Speaker 6: and can't wait for season three. But the season two,

415
00:18:57,040 --> 00:18:59,760
Speaker 6: I will say season one was much better in my opinion.

416
00:19:00,040 --> 00:19:02,320
Speaker 6: Season two was wild and there was just too much

417
00:19:02,359 --> 00:19:06,359
Speaker 6: going on for my add that I couldn't follow along. Thankfully,

418
00:19:06,880 --> 00:19:09,679
Speaker 6: one of our strength coaches with the Panthers was spilling

419
00:19:09,720 --> 00:19:12,960
Speaker 6: me in with all the with all the all the

420
00:19:13,040 --> 00:19:17,200
Speaker 6: side stuff that was going on. Sorry, my daughter is saying, okay,

421
00:19:17,240 --> 00:19:18,359
Speaker 6: I'll come out there this second.

422
00:19:18,480 --> 00:19:18,760
Speaker 2: Love you.

423
00:19:22,359 --> 00:19:24,600
Speaker 4: My daughter, my youngest daughter.

424
00:19:24,720 --> 00:19:27,320
Speaker 6: She can talk, so she just had to tell me

425
00:19:27,359 --> 00:19:29,439
Speaker 6: the whole story about where she's going, going to a

426
00:19:29,440 --> 00:19:30,560
Speaker 6: friend's house, doing.

427
00:19:30,359 --> 00:19:35,680
Speaker 1: All amazing, amazing, Adam. Do we appreciate the time, best

428
00:19:35,680 --> 00:19:38,200
Speaker 1: of luck this season will certainly be watching. Hopefully we

429
00:19:38,240 --> 00:19:40,439
Speaker 1: can reconnect when season three of Severns comes out, but

430
00:19:40,520 --> 00:19:43,520
Speaker 1: in the meantime, we appreciate you hanging out with us.

431
00:19:43,560 --> 00:19:46,080
Speaker 4: Awesome Thanks guys. I enjoyed my time. We'll do it again.

432
00:19:46,840 --> 00:19:49,320
Speaker 2: Thanks again. It's to Adam Feeling for hanging out with

433
00:19:49,400 --> 00:19:49,879
Speaker 2: us Florida.

434
00:19:50,000 --> 00:19:51,359
Speaker 1: There are a lot of things he said that I

435
00:19:51,400 --> 00:19:54,000
Speaker 1: thought were very entertaining, very informative.

436
00:19:54,440 --> 00:19:55,320
Speaker 2: I did love.

437
00:19:55,280 --> 00:19:57,040
Speaker 1: Him saying that people come up to him with like

438
00:19:57,040 --> 00:20:00,439
Speaker 1: their special fantasy team names, and it's just like I

439
00:20:00,480 --> 00:20:02,280
Speaker 1: got a feeling I get it's.

440
00:20:02,280 --> 00:20:04,359
Speaker 5: The hilarious thing is like that his name has been

441
00:20:04,400 --> 00:20:07,920
Speaker 5: around for a decade now. He's probably heard it one

442
00:20:08,040 --> 00:20:12,439
Speaker 5: hundred times. My personal favorite part was he's still on business.

443
00:20:12,440 --> 00:20:15,040
Speaker 5: He said he's the best basketball player in that wide

444
00:20:15,080 --> 00:20:19,320
Speaker 5: receiver room. I cannot wait to hear what the other

445
00:20:19,400 --> 00:20:20,560
Speaker 5: Panthers wide receiver like that.

446
00:20:20,600 --> 00:20:22,560
Speaker 4: I hope they hear this and they.

447
00:20:22,440 --> 00:20:25,000
Speaker 5: Respond appropriately, because I'm sure they all believe they are

448
00:20:25,000 --> 00:20:26,479
Speaker 5: the best player in that locker room.

449
00:20:26,760 --> 00:20:29,120
Speaker 1: We should clip that and send it off to Panthers

450
00:20:29,160 --> 00:20:31,280
Speaker 1: social media so they can send it around to the rest.

451
00:20:33,040 --> 00:20:35,080
Speaker 3: I do hope that he ends up putting the raccoon

452
00:20:35,119 --> 00:20:37,240
Speaker 3: in the Minnesota Hot dish Man is he He said

453
00:20:37,280 --> 00:20:38,160
Speaker 3: it might taste good.

454
00:20:38,200 --> 00:20:38,919
Speaker 2: I mean, I don't know.

455
00:20:39,200 --> 00:20:41,440
Speaker 3: I'm still curious of what raccoon tastes like, so if

456
00:20:41,440 --> 00:20:43,080
Speaker 3: anybody knows a guy, let me know.

457
00:20:44,200 --> 00:20:46,400
Speaker 1: Okay, yeah, we should make that part of the show too, Like, look, look,

458
00:20:46,480 --> 00:20:48,560
Speaker 1: Kwana eats raccoon like the shrubberry thing.

459
00:20:48,680 --> 00:20:52,560
Speaker 2: You know you can need some on that one.

460
00:20:52,640 --> 00:20:55,920
Speaker 1: But I'll say this, you smother enough, you smother anything

461
00:20:55,920 --> 00:21:00,400
Speaker 1: and enough, like butter and cheese, it's probably okay, gonna

462
00:21:00,400 --> 00:21:04,960
Speaker 1: be all right. Yeah, but very interesting starts. We appreciate.

463
00:21:05,000 --> 00:21:07,199
Speaker 1: Add a feelings stopping by, and who knows, maybe the

464
00:21:07,200 --> 00:21:11,040
Speaker 1: outlook for Bryce Young boosts his fantasy draft value coming

465
00:21:11,080 --> 00:21:14,119
Speaker 1: into the twenty twenty five season. So again, thanks to

466
00:21:14,240 --> 00:21:16,119
Speaker 1: a feeling for stopping by and hanging out with for

467
00:21:16,160 --> 00:21:17,840
Speaker 1: a little bit. But that'll do it for the edition

468
00:21:17,920 --> 00:21:20,560
Speaker 1: of the NFL Fantasy Football Podcast. Stay happy, safe and healthy,

469
