And it was fun going around. 17 00:01:16,148 --> 00:01:18,108 Speaker 1: It was fun tooling around New York a little bit 18 00:01:18,468 --> 00:01:24,828 Speaker 1: hanging around our experience. Yeah, so got the full immersion 19 00:01:24,908 --> 00:01:27,148 Speaker 1: in the Bronx. Well, what was the highway you went on? 20 00:01:27,948 --> 00:01:31,308 Speaker 1: That was the hutch there? I know what I'm talking about. 21 00:01:32,188 --> 00:01:35,068 Speaker 1: It's like Garfall is like you California, you have no 22 00:01:35,148 --> 00:01:38,748 Speaker 1: idea lots of you know about highways. Yes, so absolutely 23 00:01:38,748 --> 00:01:40,908 Speaker 1: we do. All right, Garfall, I know you're sipping, but 24 00:01:40,948 --> 00:01:42,428 Speaker 1: come on, tell the people what they want to hear. 25 00:01:42,628 --> 00:01:47,388 Speaker 1: Time four block. Yes, let's do it, fellas. Let's start 26 00:01:47,388 --> 00:01:50,668 Speaker 1: on the West coast speaking out for forty nine ers 27 00:01:50,868 --> 00:01:53,948 Speaker 1: all purpose wide receiver Devo Samuel is looking for a 28 00:01:54,068 --> 00:01:58,268 Speaker 1: new contract. Remember he requested a trade back in April, 29 00:01:58,668 --> 00:02:01,948 Speaker 1: showed up to mandatory minicamp but did not participate in 30 00:02:02,068 --> 00:02:05,268 Speaker 1: team drills, and according to our very own Tom Pella 31 00:02:05,388 --> 00:02:08,748 Speaker 1: Sero Key of the Hoodie two Sides, I've had contract 32 00:02:08,748 --> 00:02:11,868 Speaker 1: talks for a long term deal, but nothing at this 33 00:02:11,948 --> 00:02:15,388 Speaker 1: point is imminent, and it's still unclear whether Devo will 34 00:02:15,428 --> 00:02:19,868 Speaker 1: show up to training camp when the veterans reports on Tuesday. 35 00:02:19,988 --> 00:02:25,508 Speaker 1: And then then there's Jimmy Garoppolo, who's recovering from shoulder surgery. 36 00:02:25,748 --> 00:02:28,908 Speaker 1: Our very own NFL Network and sader Ian Rapport is 37 00:02:28,908 --> 00:02:32,428 Speaker 1: reporting that Jimmy g has been throwing for several weeks now, 38 00:02:32,628 --> 00:02:35,948 Speaker 1: but is expected to be fully cleared by mid August, 39 00:02:36,228 --> 00:02:39,188 Speaker 1: and rap Sheet points out that's when talk of his 40 00:02:39,348 --> 00:02:43,468 Speaker 1: future will really be kick started. But let's get into 41 00:02:43,508 --> 00:02:47,388 Speaker 1: it right now, guys, lots to delve into where would 42 00:02:47,388 --> 00:02:53,628 Speaker 1: be the ideal landing spot for one Jimmy Garoppolo Mike 43 00:02:53,708 --> 00:02:56,468 Speaker 1: Gara folds first of all, Deebo Samuel, I'm told there's 44 00:02:56,508 --> 00:02:58,388 Speaker 1: a lot of work still, a long way to go, 45 00:02:58,468 --> 00:03:00,028 Speaker 1: That's what I was praised. A long way to go, 46 00:03:00,068 --> 00:03:04,068 Speaker 1: buy a source informed of those discussions. Now, A long 47 00:03:04,068 --> 00:03:07,428 Speaker 1: way to go in a contract talk negotiation can be 48 00:03:07,508 --> 00:03:10,708 Speaker 1: bridged quickly, so we'll see. But it's more than just 49 00:03:10,828 --> 00:03:13,348 Speaker 1: numbers for Deebo Samuel. We'll get into him. I think 50 00:03:13,348 --> 00:03:14,708 Speaker 1: we're doing him a little later. I don't know. I 51 00:03:14,708 --> 00:03:16,828 Speaker 1: still want to do him here whatever, I'm blowing up 52 00:03:16,828 --> 00:03:19,468 Speaker 1: the show for him at just three minutes into the show. Um, 53 00:03:20,268 --> 00:03:23,108 Speaker 1: Jimmy Garoppolo, what's the ideal? Now? This is a this 54 00:03:23,188 --> 00:03:25,748 Speaker 1: is a conversation we're having here in the news thing 55 00:03:25,788 --> 00:03:29,348 Speaker 1: because I'm not dropping on you. Yeah, this is just us. 56 00:03:29,868 --> 00:03:31,988 Speaker 1: You're asking me more of my opinions. What do you 57 00:03:32,068 --> 00:03:34,828 Speaker 1: about that team that we just saw there, the Seattle Seahawks. 58 00:03:34,868 --> 00:03:37,748 Speaker 1: I mean, there's just not many options right now within 59 00:03:37,788 --> 00:03:40,028 Speaker 1: the division though. No, they wouldn't trade him. No, that 60 00:03:40,028 --> 00:03:42,028 Speaker 1: would have to be if he was released. Okay, I'm 61 00:03:42,068 --> 00:03:43,628 Speaker 1: just I'm just trying to I'm just trying to put 62 00:03:43,668 --> 00:03:46,348 Speaker 1: him somewhere right now. Yeah, you know, I thought about Cleveland, 63 00:03:46,388 --> 00:03:47,868 Speaker 1: but I don't think it's gonna be a full season 64 00:03:47,868 --> 00:03:49,708 Speaker 1: for Deshaun Watson. So I think the Browns kind of 65 00:03:49,708 --> 00:03:52,348 Speaker 1: pieced their way through. You think about Houston. They really 66 00:03:52,348 --> 00:03:55,788 Speaker 1: love Davis Mills down there. I just I can't put 67 00:03:55,868 --> 00:03:58,788 Speaker 1: him somewhere that makes sense. The most open quarterback job, 68 00:03:58,868 --> 00:04:02,948 Speaker 1: I think it would probably be Seattle. But Seattle does 69 00:04:02,988 --> 00:04:05,188 Speaker 1: love Drew Locke too. They're like, I know you don't 70 00:04:05,188 --> 00:04:07,468 Speaker 1: you guys don't believe us, trust us. We really do 71 00:04:07,548 --> 00:04:10,868 Speaker 1: love Drew lock So it's a weird situation. Again, I 72 00:04:10,908 --> 00:04:12,668 Speaker 1: continue to say, I think the best thing for the 73 00:04:12,708 --> 00:04:14,588 Speaker 1: forty nine ers and something that they're may be waiting 74 00:04:14,668 --> 00:04:17,908 Speaker 1: or hoping for, you have him stay. You're not no, no, no, 75 00:04:17,948 --> 00:04:20,308 Speaker 1: you're not hoping for an injury. Let's make that clear. 76 00:04:20,548 --> 00:04:22,788 Speaker 1: But if it happens, hey we've got a piece here. 77 00:04:23,268 --> 00:04:26,068 Speaker 1: Teddy Bridgewater goes down the Eagles head Sam Bradford, something 78 00:04:26,108 --> 00:04:29,548 Speaker 1: like that. So right now, I'm thinking maybe if he 79 00:04:29,588 --> 00:04:32,068 Speaker 1: gets released, which may happen if there's no trade partner, 80 00:04:32,068 --> 00:04:33,828 Speaker 1: and then he goes up to Seattle, We'll say, you 81 00:04:33,868 --> 00:04:35,908 Speaker 1: don't want to hope anybody gets injured, But what you're 82 00:04:35,948 --> 00:04:41,268 Speaker 1: saying is that would bring the clearest path possible, because 83 00:04:41,308 --> 00:04:45,228 Speaker 1: that's why we're having what's the what's the landing spot? 84 00:04:45,268 --> 00:04:47,668 Speaker 1: Because you know there really is no clear path to 85 00:04:47,788 --> 00:04:50,388 Speaker 1: a certain spot. Now, Mike negated some of our options, 86 00:04:50,668 --> 00:04:52,428 Speaker 1: but I'm gonna go with one that he said because 87 00:04:52,428 --> 00:04:56,228 Speaker 1: I'm gonna say that if Dejohn Watson is suspended for 88 00:04:56,348 --> 00:04:58,708 Speaker 1: the length of the season, I find Cleveland to be 89 00:04:58,748 --> 00:05:01,588 Speaker 1: a very good landing spot. And they are really right now. 90 00:05:01,668 --> 00:05:03,988 Speaker 1: If something happens and he's not released, the only team 91 00:05:04,028 --> 00:05:07,388 Speaker 1: finance actually that can afford Jimmy Garoppolo really out there 92 00:05:07,388 --> 00:05:09,388 Speaker 1: without having to make some maneuvering. They're the only ones 93 00:05:09,468 --> 00:05:11,188 Speaker 1: actually in the league that could do it. And I 94 00:05:11,228 --> 00:05:13,868 Speaker 1: look at that spot, and I look at what you 95 00:05:13,908 --> 00:05:16,268 Speaker 1: know he could do fitting in, and you've talked to 96 00:05:16,268 --> 00:05:18,428 Speaker 1: people that are close to Jimmy Garoppolo, they'll tell you 97 00:05:18,468 --> 00:05:19,948 Speaker 1: that you know it needs to be the right spot 98 00:05:19,988 --> 00:05:22,148 Speaker 1: he can thrive. You know, a guy that's thirty three 99 00:05:22,188 --> 00:05:24,108 Speaker 1: and fourteen in his career as a starter. But it 100 00:05:24,148 --> 00:05:26,468 Speaker 1: needs me the right spot. That running game that was 101 00:05:26,508 --> 00:05:29,188 Speaker 1: fourth in the NFL a season ago in Cleveland would 102 00:05:29,228 --> 00:05:31,468 Speaker 1: be a massive help for Jimmy Garoppolo. Running the play 103 00:05:31,468 --> 00:05:33,788 Speaker 1: action game would help for Jimmy Garoppolo. You have a 104 00:05:33,788 --> 00:05:35,788 Speaker 1: Marii Cooper in a stud there. You have one of 105 00:05:35,828 --> 00:05:38,828 Speaker 1: the better offensive lines in all of football, which also 106 00:05:38,868 --> 00:05:42,388 Speaker 1: helps Jimmy Garoppolo. And you have a defense that I 107 00:05:42,388 --> 00:05:45,748 Speaker 1: believe was fifth in total defense last year. It's a 108 00:05:45,948 --> 00:05:49,468 Speaker 1: it's the best team that could be a possibility for him. 109 00:05:49,508 --> 00:05:52,068 Speaker 1: And if your goal is I need one year to 110 00:05:52,148 --> 00:05:54,228 Speaker 1: prove to the rest of the league, you want to 111 00:05:54,228 --> 00:05:57,468 Speaker 1: make a financial investment in me, and this is the 112 00:05:57,508 --> 00:06:00,348 Speaker 1: best landing spot to do that. People were kicking around 113 00:06:00,388 --> 00:06:02,588 Speaker 1: the idea of Mike right like if Baker did it, 114 00:06:02,748 --> 00:06:04,508 Speaker 1: you know I stayed, that would have been made be 115 00:06:04,548 --> 00:06:06,988 Speaker 1: the best situation with the Baker. It's very similar for 116 00:06:07,068 --> 00:06:09,268 Speaker 1: Jimmy as well. And this is a guy that has 117 00:06:09,988 --> 00:06:13,068 Speaker 1: let's be honest, he's played really well. Like I said, 118 00:06:13,148 --> 00:06:15,148 Speaker 1: it is a winner. He is a winner. This is 119 00:06:15,188 --> 00:06:17,788 Speaker 1: a guy since twenty nineteen top four in the NFL, 120 00:06:17,788 --> 00:06:20,548 Speaker 1: and completion presentage top four in the NFL, and you 121 00:06:20,548 --> 00:06:24,508 Speaker 1: know yards per attempt. This guy can play quarterback. I 122 00:06:24,628 --> 00:06:28,268 Speaker 1: just find this to be if he wants to advance 123 00:06:28,308 --> 00:06:31,388 Speaker 1: his career, Sean the best possible landing spot for him 124 00:06:31,388 --> 00:06:33,348 Speaker 1: because of the situation and the team around him. Yeah, 125 00:06:33,348 --> 00:06:35,388 Speaker 1: that's a great point. He's a good quarterback. The injuries 126 00:06:35,428 --> 00:06:37,748 Speaker 1: have been the biggest factor with him. He can't stay healthy, 127 00:06:37,748 --> 00:06:40,428 Speaker 1: can't stay on the field. And when you look at 128 00:06:40,468 --> 00:06:42,228 Speaker 1: this situation right now, I think we should have just 129 00:06:42,268 --> 00:06:47,148 Speaker 1: called this this segment, this conversation. It's complicated because we've 130 00:06:47,228 --> 00:06:49,588 Speaker 1: just given you all kinds of different options. We got Seattle, 131 00:06:49,628 --> 00:06:51,988 Speaker 1: we got Cleveland, but yet you're saying in the news 132 00:06:52,028 --> 00:06:54,948 Speaker 1: report that he can't even he's not even cleared until 133 00:06:54,988 --> 00:06:57,708 Speaker 1: mid August. All right, So mid August we got priests 134 00:06:57,748 --> 00:06:59,348 Speaker 1: in games going on him. That's when he's finally going 135 00:06:59,388 --> 00:07:02,228 Speaker 1: to get cleared. So look for for for Jimmy Garoppolo 136 00:07:02,348 --> 00:07:05,228 Speaker 1: right now. It's I don't even know if you're a team, like, 137 00:07:05,308 --> 00:07:06,988 Speaker 1: what are you willing to do? Are you willing to 138 00:07:07,068 --> 00:07:08,948 Speaker 1: trade for a guy who's not going to get cleared 139 00:07:09,028 --> 00:07:12,268 Speaker 1: until August. To your point, Mike G. You know, like 140 00:07:12,428 --> 00:07:14,628 Speaker 1: I think the forty niners would love to get something 141 00:07:14,708 --> 00:07:17,628 Speaker 1: for him, but you know, maybe he is that insurance policy. 142 00:07:17,708 --> 00:07:20,348 Speaker 1: All right, So I feel like this conversation is kind 143 00:07:20,348 --> 00:07:22,148 Speaker 1: of like when people say, like, all right, how long 144 00:07:22,228 --> 00:07:23,788 Speaker 1: how long does it take you to get into the city? 145 00:07:23,868 --> 00:07:25,828 Speaker 1: Right Like, it's complicated? All right? Where are you coming from? 146 00:07:25,908 --> 00:07:27,388 Speaker 1: What time of day is it? Are you taking the 147 00:07:27,388 --> 00:07:30,788 Speaker 1: bridge the tunnel? This for Jimmy Garoppolo you look at 148 00:07:30,788 --> 00:07:33,148 Speaker 1: all right, it's complicated. But I also feel like, if 149 00:07:33,188 --> 00:07:36,348 Speaker 1: I'm Jimmy G, where do I want to go? If 150 00:07:36,348 --> 00:07:38,388 Speaker 1: the forty nine ers said Jimmy, where do you want 151 00:07:38,388 --> 00:07:40,828 Speaker 1: to be? All right, there's two things he's got answered. 152 00:07:41,028 --> 00:07:43,108 Speaker 1: Do I want to compete for a starting position right now? 153 00:07:43,628 --> 00:07:45,668 Speaker 1: Or am I willing to go somewhere and let my 154 00:07:45,708 --> 00:07:48,628 Speaker 1: shoulder get fully healed and then maybe be ready to 155 00:07:48,668 --> 00:07:53,268 Speaker 1: play if something happens. If I'm Jimmy G, I'm looking 156 00:07:53,308 --> 00:07:56,548 Speaker 1: at Miami and I'm saying, look, if I'm gonna, I'm 157 00:07:56,708 --> 00:07:59,348 Speaker 1: playing right away, give me somewhere where I can, you know, 158 00:07:59,428 --> 00:08:01,588 Speaker 1: God to night rest, nice restaurant. I got a nice 159 00:08:01,628 --> 00:08:05,548 Speaker 1: little nightlife going on there, but Jimmy's tanning Amy and 160 00:08:05,628 --> 00:08:08,668 Speaker 1: be reunited with that man right there, Mike McDaniel. Somebody 161 00:08:08,708 --> 00:08:12,348 Speaker 1: he knows. I'm saying bid August over and over again, 162 00:08:12,428 --> 00:08:15,108 Speaker 1: not just from the physical standpoint, but from a quarterback standpoint. 163 00:08:15,388 --> 00:08:19,268 Speaker 1: Imagine like getting the playbook in mid August or finding 164 00:08:19,268 --> 00:08:21,868 Speaker 1: out him there here's my team in mid August. I've 165 00:08:21,908 --> 00:08:23,708 Speaker 1: got to accelerate this process all right now, I've got 166 00:08:23,708 --> 00:08:25,148 Speaker 1: to learn the language. I'm gonna be able to speak 167 00:08:25,148 --> 00:08:27,588 Speaker 1: it fluently. And now all of a sudden, going out 168 00:08:27,588 --> 00:08:29,348 Speaker 1: of the four nineers with an offense that you're already 169 00:08:29,348 --> 00:08:31,028 Speaker 1: familiar with. I'm sure it's a lot of the same 170 00:08:31,108 --> 00:08:33,908 Speaker 1: verbiage that he had in San Francisco. I think that 171 00:08:33,948 --> 00:08:36,948 Speaker 1: could be a great opportunity from the competition standpoint and 172 00:08:36,948 --> 00:08:39,828 Speaker 1: the playfield standpoint. Look, if Twa flops, I mean there's 173 00:08:39,828 --> 00:08:41,388 Speaker 1: still a lot of people that are out there trying 174 00:08:41,388 --> 00:08:42,908 Speaker 1: to figure out who is to a what is he 175 00:08:43,228 --> 00:08:45,588 Speaker 1: If he struggles? We've seen him get young before, right 176 00:08:45,668 --> 00:08:49,108 Speaker 1: Fitzpatrick went in, that could be an opportunity for him 177 00:08:49,148 --> 00:08:51,148 Speaker 1: to step in and play. And who wouldn't want to 178 00:08:51,188 --> 00:08:54,268 Speaker 1: throw to Waddle and to Tyree Hill. There's some great 179 00:08:54,268 --> 00:08:56,748 Speaker 1: offensive weapons down there for Jimmy, the fastest group of 180 00:08:56,748 --> 00:09:00,628 Speaker 1: skill guys. Yeah, and obviously the familiarity there with mcgael. 181 00:09:00,948 --> 00:09:03,428 Speaker 1: I think for me and Mikey you had mentioned it. 182 00:09:03,748 --> 00:09:07,348 Speaker 1: I think he would make sense for him. I know 183 00:09:07,548 --> 00:09:10,068 Speaker 1: that in Houston they have a lot of faith right 184 00:09:10,108 --> 00:09:13,388 Speaker 1: now and Davis Mills, especially showing what he did towards 185 00:09:13,428 --> 00:09:16,108 Speaker 1: the end of the season those last five games. But 186 00:09:16,308 --> 00:09:18,548 Speaker 1: I'm not so sure I'd want to put all my 187 00:09:18,668 --> 00:09:21,708 Speaker 1: eggs in that basket. There'd be a little risk here, 188 00:09:21,868 --> 00:09:24,268 Speaker 1: given that Jimmy only has one year left on his deal. 189 00:09:24,308 --> 00:09:27,148 Speaker 1: I think you'd bring him in, let him compete if 190 00:09:27,228 --> 00:09:30,548 Speaker 1: Mills isn't progressing. You know, Jimmy is a reliable option. 191 00:09:30,588 --> 00:09:32,668 Speaker 1: We talked about him being a winner. He's proven to 192 00:09:32,708 --> 00:09:35,228 Speaker 1: be a QB you can win with in this league, 193 00:09:35,268 --> 00:09:37,468 Speaker 1: and if things go well, they can bring him back 194 00:09:37,668 --> 00:09:40,748 Speaker 1: and he'd be a solid option going forward. He's got 195 00:09:40,748 --> 00:09:43,948 Speaker 1: the connection to Nick Assario from their days in New England, 196 00:09:44,188 --> 00:09:46,588 Speaker 1: and he has done or has some familiary as well 197 00:09:46,668 --> 00:09:50,028 Speaker 1: with receiver Brandon Cooks in running back Rex Burkehead from 198 00:09:50,028 --> 00:09:53,148 Speaker 1: his Patriot days as well. And here's one other thing 199 00:09:53,188 --> 00:09:56,868 Speaker 1: I would mention in terms of the Texans. Remember how 200 00:09:56,868 --> 00:10:01,708 Speaker 1: the whole Deshaun Watson situation had developed. It was a 201 00:10:01,868 --> 00:10:05,108 Speaker 1: slow play. It was something that they were applied. They 202 00:10:05,148 --> 00:10:07,708 Speaker 1: weren't in a rush to trade him. They were patient, 203 00:10:08,188 --> 00:10:11,108 Speaker 1: waiting for the right opportunity to make a deal and 204 00:10:11,148 --> 00:10:14,468 Speaker 1: they did with the Browns, and maybe this is what 205 00:10:14,548 --> 00:10:17,708 Speaker 1: they are going to do in Houston. When it comes 206 00:10:17,788 --> 00:10:22,388 Speaker 1: to Jimmy Garoppolo being there, there's certainly the connective tissue 207 00:10:22,708 --> 00:10:25,348 Speaker 1: with the guys that he knows there. So yeah, with 208 00:10:25,428 --> 00:10:28,268 Speaker 1: Nikossario being there, I think that's a big deal. I mean, 209 00:10:28,308 --> 00:10:31,068 Speaker 1: he was there in New England when they drafted Jimmy 210 00:10:31,148 --> 00:10:33,108 Speaker 1: g so it makes it makes sense. Speaking of the 211 00:10:33,108 --> 00:10:35,388 Speaker 1: New England connection. We didn't mention the Buccaneers. I don't. 212 00:10:35,388 --> 00:10:37,148 Speaker 1: I don't think there's a ton of interest, but I've 213 00:10:37,228 --> 00:10:39,508 Speaker 1: just it would be fascinating. It would be fascinating I 214 00:10:39,628 --> 00:10:42,028 Speaker 1: just in my head to have them back there and 215 00:10:42,108 --> 00:10:45,428 Speaker 1: Garoppolo as the successor to Brady, like just the thought 216 00:10:45,428 --> 00:10:48,228 Speaker 1: of it. I don't sense that there's interest there and 217 00:10:48,268 --> 00:10:51,788 Speaker 1: that it would happen, but to see, okay, i'd be 218 00:10:51,788 --> 00:10:58,108 Speaker 1: fun terrible situation for Jimmy. Yeah you're sick. I am six. Yeah, 219 00:10:58,148 --> 00:11:04,148 Speaker 1: half the table likes Jimmy in Florida. But for now, 220 00:11:05,108 --> 00:11:07,228 Speaker 1: give the people what they want. That's jack hammer our 221 00:11:07,308 --> 00:11:14,388 Speaker 1: way into the as we may cause. The Raiders Vets 222 00:11:14,428 --> 00:11:17,908 Speaker 1: reported for training camp yesterday. We saw plenty of superstars. 223 00:11:17,908 --> 00:11:21,628 Speaker 1: Hello Derek Carr, their big new acquisition, undep I was 224 00:11:21,708 --> 00:11:24,308 Speaker 1: him walking into the building before he turned the lights 225 00:11:24,348 --> 00:11:26,348 Speaker 1: off and he turned on the light absolutely. And then 226 00:11:26,388 --> 00:11:30,388 Speaker 1: of course there's this guy as well, all Pro white 227 00:11:30,388 --> 00:11:34,548 Speaker 1: receiver Davante Adams looking stellar in the silver in black. 228 00:11:34,908 --> 00:11:38,028 Speaker 1: There's a lot of excitement out in Vegas right now 229 00:11:38,068 --> 00:11:42,228 Speaker 1: about what these Raiders can do this season, and Max 230 00:11:42,308 --> 00:11:45,788 Speaker 1: Crosby knows it. He spoke to reporters yesterday about some 231 00:11:45,868 --> 00:11:50,188 Speaker 1: of that ops season hype. Last stuff is great. You know, 232 00:11:50,308 --> 00:11:53,588 Speaker 1: DeVante is incredible, He's a great teammate, great player, Chandler, 233 00:11:53,828 --> 00:11:57,068 Speaker 1: all these guys is all the same. But you know 234 00:11:57,588 --> 00:12:00,268 Speaker 1: it doesn't matter. You know, preseason hype is preseason hype. 235 00:12:00,268 --> 00:12:02,388 Speaker 1: There's always gonna be teams that get hyped up and 236 00:12:02,908 --> 00:12:05,668 Speaker 1: things like that. But for us, you know, we got 237 00:12:05,668 --> 00:12:07,508 Speaker 1: to show up and do the groundwork. We got to 238 00:12:07,508 --> 00:12:09,388 Speaker 1: do the footwork every single day or we're not going 239 00:12:09,428 --> 00:12:11,388 Speaker 1: to get to where we want to be. So um, 240 00:12:11,948 --> 00:12:13,068 Speaker 1: at the end of the day, we're just trying to 241 00:12:13,108 --> 00:12:15,508 Speaker 1: work to get better as a collective. UM. I think 242 00:12:15,548 --> 00:12:17,308 Speaker 1: we other people to do it. We have great coaches, 243 00:12:17,388 --> 00:12:19,668 Speaker 1: great players. We just got to keep working to get 244 00:12:19,708 --> 00:12:24,308 Speaker 1: better as a unit every single day. Of course, that's 245 00:12:24,388 --> 00:12:26,708 Speaker 1: what a player would say, right, But for us on 246 00:12:26,748 --> 00:12:30,828 Speaker 1: the outside looking in, are the twenty twenty two Raiders 247 00:12:30,908 --> 00:12:36,308 Speaker 1: being overhyped or under hyped? That is the question that 248 00:12:36,388 --> 00:12:39,628 Speaker 1: careful I am imposing to all of you. Starting careful 249 00:12:39,668 --> 00:12:42,668 Speaker 1: with you, James Palm There fans are pretty passionate, James 250 00:12:42,668 --> 00:12:47,388 Speaker 1: Snow not at all careful what you say. I'm gonna 251 00:12:47,388 --> 00:12:49,468 Speaker 1: say they're under hyped. I'm gonna say this team is 252 00:12:49,548 --> 00:12:52,468 Speaker 1: under hyped. Craig, I'm wrong. Did they go to the 253 00:12:52,508 --> 00:12:55,668 Speaker 1: playoffs last year? Indeed? Did? They certainly did. Did they 254 00:12:55,668 --> 00:12:58,028 Speaker 1: have one of the most insane seasons and what they 255 00:12:58,028 --> 00:13:00,908 Speaker 1: had to get through to get to the playoffs? Yep? Remarkable? 256 00:13:01,388 --> 00:13:03,548 Speaker 1: And then you're gonna give me Josh McDaniels on his 257 00:13:03,628 --> 00:13:07,188 Speaker 1: second gound with what he learned. Most likely we all 258 00:13:07,228 --> 00:13:09,148 Speaker 1: believe in Denver one of the things that he did 259 00:13:09,148 --> 00:13:11,268 Speaker 1: incorrectly as a head coach, and pairing him up with 260 00:13:11,348 --> 00:13:13,468 Speaker 1: Derek Carr, who might be one of the most underrated 261 00:13:13,508 --> 00:13:16,628 Speaker 1: quarterbacks in all of football. That plays a part, and 262 00:13:16,708 --> 00:13:19,348 Speaker 1: I think the division obviously plays a massive part. You 263 00:13:19,428 --> 00:13:22,228 Speaker 1: have an up and coming superstar and justin Herbert, you 264 00:13:22,228 --> 00:13:24,148 Speaker 1: have Patrick Mahomes, who we all could say is the 265 00:13:24,188 --> 00:13:26,188 Speaker 1: face of the NFL. And you have a future Hall 266 00:13:26,228 --> 00:13:28,788 Speaker 1: of Famer in Russell Wilson, and that makes you go oh, 267 00:13:28,828 --> 00:13:31,468 Speaker 1: and then there's the Raiders again, went to the playoffs, 268 00:13:31,788 --> 00:13:36,348 Speaker 1: underrated quarterback who was throwing the football to who almost 269 00:13:36,348 --> 00:13:39,508 Speaker 1: everybody unanistly believes is the best receiver in all of football. 270 00:13:39,628 --> 00:13:42,348 Speaker 1: And oh yeah, his slot receiver is Hunter renfro. These 271 00:13:42,428 --> 00:13:44,748 Speaker 1: kind of guys are arguably his best friends on the planet. 272 00:13:44,908 --> 00:13:48,028 Speaker 1: Sorry David, but yeah. When you add that type of 273 00:13:48,068 --> 00:13:50,388 Speaker 1: chemistry as an offense, and you add Chandler Jones on 274 00:13:50,428 --> 00:13:52,308 Speaker 1: defense to go with the guy we just saw, mad Max, 275 00:13:52,508 --> 00:13:54,628 Speaker 1: I think these guys are underrated. This is gonna be 276 00:13:54,668 --> 00:13:58,708 Speaker 1: a dangerous, dangerous team. Well, I told you to be careful, 277 00:13:58,748 --> 00:14:05,428 Speaker 1: and then I'm gonna go the other way. I'm James 278 00:14:05,508 --> 00:14:07,228 Speaker 1: kind of alluded to it already, though it's through no 279 00:14:07,308 --> 00:14:10,228 Speaker 1: fault of their own. And frankly, this is not the 280 00:14:10,268 --> 00:14:12,428 Speaker 1: type of situation you usually see when you get a 281 00:14:12,468 --> 00:14:14,188 Speaker 1: new head coach and a new regime and they say, 282 00:14:14,188 --> 00:14:16,788 Speaker 1: all right, we're gonna tear this thing down and start 283 00:14:16,788 --> 00:14:18,988 Speaker 1: from scratch. You've got a lot of great pieces here. 284 00:14:19,028 --> 00:14:21,428 Speaker 1: You added one in DeVante Adams, but it's still a 285 00:14:21,548 --> 00:14:24,228 Speaker 1: new regime and a division where you've still got the 286 00:14:24,308 --> 00:14:27,228 Speaker 1: Kansas City Chiefs that have been established in what they're 287 00:14:27,228 --> 00:14:30,228 Speaker 1: doing as far as their coaching regime and their quarterback 288 00:14:30,268 --> 00:14:32,988 Speaker 1: and all this stuff. You've got the Chargers on the up. 289 00:14:33,588 --> 00:14:35,348 Speaker 1: You also have the Broncos that we don't know what's 290 00:14:35,348 --> 00:14:37,628 Speaker 1: going to happen with Russell Wilson. And then the schedule, 291 00:14:38,108 --> 00:14:41,628 Speaker 1: in large part because they're playing those teams twice, is 292 00:14:41,708 --> 00:14:44,388 Speaker 1: so tough. But even outside of that, look, I mean, 293 00:14:44,428 --> 00:14:46,468 Speaker 1: think the strength of schedule. Now, I don't usually do 294 00:14:46,508 --> 00:14:50,708 Speaker 1: this by last year's records. I usually do this you're 295 00:14:50,748 --> 00:14:52,588 Speaker 1: looking forward, and a lot of people will say, oh, 296 00:14:52,628 --> 00:14:55,948 Speaker 1: the expected wind total. Even with the expected wind total, 297 00:14:56,148 --> 00:14:59,028 Speaker 1: they're the third toughest going forward, depending give or take, 298 00:14:59,108 --> 00:15:01,828 Speaker 1: depending on which expected wind total you're looking at. So 299 00:15:01,868 --> 00:15:04,348 Speaker 1: it is an incredibly tough schedule and the closing stretch 300 00:15:04,588 --> 00:15:07,268 Speaker 1: once the calendar turns to December, you got the Chargers, 301 00:15:07,308 --> 00:15:09,828 Speaker 1: then you're at the Rams. You've got the Patriots at home. 302 00:15:09,868 --> 00:15:12,548 Speaker 1: It's gonna be a fascinating game to see McDaniels against Belichick. 303 00:15:12,628 --> 00:15:15,188 Speaker 1: For that one at the Steelers, that's a winnable game 304 00:15:15,228 --> 00:15:16,748 Speaker 1: certain least for the forty nine Ers, who knows what 305 00:15:16,828 --> 00:15:18,388 Speaker 1: you get. And then you get the Chiefs in week eighteen. 306 00:15:18,468 --> 00:15:22,828 Speaker 1: So I just somebody in this division is not going 307 00:15:22,868 --> 00:15:25,628 Speaker 1: to have a good record and it very well. Maybe 308 00:15:25,708 --> 00:15:27,948 Speaker 1: the Raiders, so I like what they're doing from the 309 00:15:27,948 --> 00:15:31,708 Speaker 1: long haul though. Yeah, hype is always something interesting. It's 310 00:15:31,748 --> 00:15:33,988 Speaker 1: always about all right, who are you when you're talking 311 00:15:33,988 --> 00:15:36,948 Speaker 1: about hype. We just saw Mad Max up there talking 312 00:15:36,988 --> 00:15:39,748 Speaker 1: to Max Crosby tatted up all arms slaves, and he's like, look, 313 00:15:39,748 --> 00:15:41,188 Speaker 1: we're not worried about the hype. And not worried about 314 00:15:41,188 --> 00:15:43,308 Speaker 1: the hype usually DEFENSI players like the hype. But when 315 00:15:43,348 --> 00:15:46,108 Speaker 1: you have a player and I know as a former player, 316 00:15:46,428 --> 00:15:48,428 Speaker 1: like you don't almost don't like the hype because you 317 00:15:48,748 --> 00:15:50,428 Speaker 1: know you do want to fly under the radar. It's 318 00:15:50,428 --> 00:15:51,908 Speaker 1: just you know what, let us go about our work. 319 00:15:51,988 --> 00:15:54,388 Speaker 1: Let's do our business, Let's let our play do the talking. 320 00:15:54,748 --> 00:15:56,228 Speaker 1: But when you look at the Raiders, I think they're 321 00:15:56,268 --> 00:15:58,548 Speaker 1: getting the right amount of hype. I think it's the 322 00:15:58,628 --> 00:16:01,388 Speaker 1: perfect temperature right now for them. Not too much where 323 00:16:01,388 --> 00:16:03,628 Speaker 1: they're getting, you know, at a little bit cocky, and 324 00:16:03,708 --> 00:16:06,748 Speaker 1: not too little where they feel like, man, people are 325 00:16:06,748 --> 00:16:09,068 Speaker 1: really slighting on us. I think to your point, they 326 00:16:09,108 --> 00:16:11,068 Speaker 1: were playoff team ten wins. Look, yeah, they were a 327 00:16:11,068 --> 00:16:14,548 Speaker 1: good team, but yet Derek Carr zero playoff wins. He's 328 00:16:14,588 --> 00:16:17,028 Speaker 1: kind of become the Matthew Stafford now of the good 329 00:16:17,108 --> 00:16:20,228 Speaker 1: quarterbacks in the NFL. And until you get that first 330 00:16:20,228 --> 00:16:22,268 Speaker 1: playoff victory, you're not going to get all that off 331 00:16:22,268 --> 00:16:24,388 Speaker 1: season hype. But I think when I look at this 332 00:16:24,508 --> 00:16:26,828 Speaker 1: Raiders team, there's still a couple of question marks offensively, 333 00:16:26,908 --> 00:16:29,228 Speaker 1: Like I still have some questions about the offensive line 334 00:16:29,268 --> 00:16:32,428 Speaker 1: as well, Alex Leatherwood moving out to tackle. Look that 335 00:16:32,548 --> 00:16:34,988 Speaker 1: there's still some work there to be done. I love 336 00:16:35,028 --> 00:16:36,748 Speaker 1: all the time that they've got all around him on 337 00:16:36,788 --> 00:16:39,948 Speaker 1: the outside, but look, in that division, we've talked about 338 00:16:39,948 --> 00:16:41,708 Speaker 1: the quarterback drive the league yesterday we talked about all 339 00:16:41,708 --> 00:16:44,028 Speaker 1: the pass rushers. So this Raiders offensive line has got 340 00:16:44,028 --> 00:16:47,468 Speaker 1: to step up in order for them to really live 341 00:16:47,548 --> 00:16:49,268 Speaker 1: up to all the hype that they are receiving right 342 00:16:49,308 --> 00:16:51,388 Speaker 1: now in this tough division. As you guys all explain, 343 00:16:51,828 --> 00:16:54,988 Speaker 1: I think anytime you go to Vegas, like when you 344 00:16:55,108 --> 00:16:56,708 Speaker 1: talking about odds, when you're going when you're going on 345 00:16:56,788 --> 00:16:59,588 Speaker 1: a Vegas trip with the boys, with the guys like, 346 00:16:59,588 --> 00:17:01,668 Speaker 1: I don't know if you can ever actually overhype that 347 00:17:01,948 --> 00:17:04,668 Speaker 1: because it always delivers anytime you go there. But I 348 00:17:04,708 --> 00:17:07,148 Speaker 1: will see this. The Raiders, if I'm not mistaken I 349 00:17:07,188 --> 00:17:10,108 Speaker 1: read this the other day, are leading the entire NFL 350 00:17:10,348 --> 00:17:12,868 Speaker 1: in ticket sales right now. If you want to talk 351 00:17:12,908 --> 00:17:14,868 Speaker 1: about are you are you getting enough hype? Look, you're 352 00:17:14,948 --> 00:17:16,988 Speaker 1: leading the NFL on ticket sales at people are going 353 00:17:17,028 --> 00:17:18,988 Speaker 1: to see you, They want to come see you live, 354 00:17:19,148 --> 00:17:20,708 Speaker 1: they want to come to Vegas, they want to see 355 00:17:20,708 --> 00:17:22,588 Speaker 1: the action. That right there should tell you all you 356 00:17:22,588 --> 00:17:24,348 Speaker 1: need to know about the Raiders. Yeah, as if you 357 00:17:24,388 --> 00:17:26,948 Speaker 1: need another reason to go to Vegas, they will give 358 00:17:26,988 --> 00:17:29,028 Speaker 1: it to you. I do think that they are under 359 00:17:29,108 --> 00:17:31,828 Speaker 1: hype because we were talking about the Chargers and the 360 00:17:31,828 --> 00:17:34,948 Speaker 1: additions that they made, especially with Khalil Mack. And think 361 00:17:34,988 --> 00:17:38,828 Speaker 1: about the fact that they had eliminated the Chargers of 362 00:17:38,868 --> 00:17:41,988 Speaker 1: course from making it to the playoffs, and they only 363 00:17:42,028 --> 00:17:44,268 Speaker 1: got better. We had also been talking about Russell Wilson 364 00:17:44,308 --> 00:17:46,788 Speaker 1: and the culture change there, but look at these notable 365 00:17:46,788 --> 00:17:50,348 Speaker 1: additions here. The addition of Davante Adams obviously doesn't just 366 00:17:50,348 --> 00:17:52,388 Speaker 1: give them an elite wide receiver. It's going to open 367 00:17:52,428 --> 00:17:56,268 Speaker 1: things up even more for guys like Waller and renfro 368 00:17:56,468 --> 00:17:58,748 Speaker 1: And then I don't think we've talked about what Tayler 369 00:17:58,908 --> 00:18:01,868 Speaker 1: Jones will mean to this defense. He's been an automatic 370 00:18:01,908 --> 00:18:05,788 Speaker 1: double digit sack guy throughout his career. He's reunited with 371 00:18:05,868 --> 00:18:09,068 Speaker 1: defensive coordinator Patrick Graham, who was his old D line 372 00:18:09,108 --> 00:18:12,468 Speaker 1: coach from New England. Pairing in with Max Crosby ensures 373 00:18:12,468 --> 00:18:14,988 Speaker 1: that one of them is going to get a one 374 00:18:15,108 --> 00:18:17,988 Speaker 1: on one every play because when he was in the 375 00:18:18,028 --> 00:18:22,148 Speaker 1: Desert Chaydler Jones was the one on offense that or 376 00:18:22,188 --> 00:18:25,108 Speaker 1: the offense would key on him all the time. So 377 00:18:25,188 --> 00:18:27,628 Speaker 1: now you got Max Crosby on the other side. Pick 378 00:18:27,708 --> 00:18:31,388 Speaker 1: your poison right there. So I think for the Raiders, 379 00:18:31,508 --> 00:18:33,708 Speaker 1: I think they are under hyped and they got some 380 00:18:33,828 --> 00:18:37,708 Speaker 1: great pieces there where I do also think Derek Carr 381 00:18:37,708 --> 00:18:40,668 Speaker 1: he gets maligned, but he was really clutch last year 382 00:18:40,908 --> 00:18:44,428 Speaker 1: six come from behind wins as well, and he also 383 00:18:44,468 --> 00:18:46,708 Speaker 1: showed that he can throw in the face of a 384 00:18:46,828 --> 00:18:50,148 Speaker 1: blitz and be effective doing it as well. So I 385 00:18:50,268 --> 00:18:52,668 Speaker 1: think I think that they're they're under hyped at this point. 386 00:18:52,948 --> 00:18:55,388 Speaker 1: But the old line is a question. DC put his 387 00:18:55,428 --> 00:18:57,828 Speaker 1: big pants, his big boy pants on last year. Yeah, 388 00:18:57,868 --> 00:18:59,908 Speaker 1: he was unbelievable, you know you, But you talk about that, 389 00:18:59,988 --> 00:19:02,148 Speaker 1: and I love Derek and I've been saying for so 390 00:19:02,188 --> 00:19:03,908 Speaker 1: long that I just don't feel like Derek Carr gets 391 00:19:03,988 --> 00:19:06,228 Speaker 1: enough for fact and then here I am saying, Oh, 392 00:19:06,228 --> 00:19:08,868 Speaker 1: it's a little overhyped. And it's just there's somebody in 393 00:19:08,868 --> 00:19:11,948 Speaker 1: this division that's gonna go seven and ten, six and 394 00:19:11,988 --> 00:19:14,268 Speaker 1: eleven or whatever, and I'm gonna feel bad for that team, 395 00:19:14,268 --> 00:19:16,348 Speaker 1: Like that's the emotion that I'm gonna write for this team, 396 00:19:16,388 --> 00:19:19,468 Speaker 1: because it's just it's just not fair. They've all done 397 00:19:19,468 --> 00:19:21,948 Speaker 1: a really good job of building good rosters and a 398 00:19:21,948 --> 00:19:24,548 Speaker 1: good coaching staff. So as excited as I am to 399 00:19:24,588 --> 00:19:26,788 Speaker 1: see how this plays out and who's gonna wind up 400 00:19:26,788 --> 00:19:28,628 Speaker 1: being on top of this mountain, I'm gonna feel bad 401 00:19:28,668 --> 00:19:30,228 Speaker 1: for the other team. It's like, oh, if we were 402 00:19:30,268 --> 00:19:32,748 Speaker 1: in the AFC South, we may have won the division 403 00:19:32,828 --> 00:19:35,028 Speaker 1: right right right and then and then also there's the 404 00:19:35,108 --> 00:19:38,188 Speaker 1: Chiefs defense too, like that's a big question mark as well. 405 00:19:38,428 --> 00:19:41,668 Speaker 1: But they've gotten younger. But this division, no doubt about it, 406 00:19:41,708 --> 00:19:44,348 Speaker 1: is tough and I think the Raiders, at least in 407 00:19:44,388 --> 00:19:57,788 Speaker 1: my opinion, under hyped about network is it the place 408 00:19:57,828 --> 00:20:00,228 Speaker 1: to be for coverage of all thirty two teams as 409 00:20:00,268 --> 00:20:03,188 Speaker 1: Training camp season kicks off, Join us next week for 410 00:20:03,228 --> 00:20:06,428 Speaker 1: the debut of in site Training Camp Live as we 411 00:20:06,548 --> 00:20:10,268 Speaker 1: begin our summer tour across this great League of ours 412 00:20:10,268 --> 00:20:14,228 Speaker 1: to cover the position battles, live practices, exclusive one on 413 00:20:14,228 --> 00:20:18,108 Speaker 1: one interviews, and much much more.

Each of you will take a turn 421 00:20:45,748 --> 00:20:49,428 Speaker 1: spinning our training wheel, which has seven faces on it 422 00:20:49,508 --> 00:20:54,268 Speaker 1: and one mystery space. Whichever face the wheel lands on, 423 00:20:54,708 --> 00:20:58,548 Speaker 1: you'll have to answer a question about them. So, guys, 424 00:20:58,548 --> 00:21:02,228 Speaker 1: does that make sense? We understand? Look, gar Folds like, wait, wait, 425 00:21:03,228 --> 00:21:05,988 Speaker 1: you're up first. Oh okay, I thought you were jumping 426 00:21:06,028 --> 00:21:08,428 Speaker 1: a segment. Okay, but then they said, hold on, let's 427 00:21:08,428 --> 00:21:14,268 Speaker 1: start with Mike. Let's go. Let's go man, let's do this. Wait. 428 00:21:14,348 --> 00:21:17,268 Speaker 1: Oh on top, I mean, are you leaving?

Okay, Mike, 431 00:21:22,188 --> 00:21:23,708 Speaker 1: you wait, what do I do? Do I spend it? 432 00:21:23,708 --> 00:21:25,748 Speaker 1: Where's the wheel? If there's no wheel? Oh? Harris said 433 00:21:25,788 --> 00:21:27,308 Speaker 1: we should have had a tricycle. He should have thought 434 00:21:27,308 --> 00:21:29,708 Speaker 1: of it yesterday. I would have brought one. Baker Mayfield? 435 00:21:29,788 --> 00:21:32,748 Speaker 1: What am I doing? Okay, Mike, you landed on Baker Mayfield. 436 00:21:32,748 --> 00:21:35,508 Speaker 1: Your question is as follows. What does Baker Mayfield need 437 00:21:35,548 --> 00:21:38,668 Speaker 1: to do at training CAD to earn the starting role? Oh? Geez, 438 00:21:38,668 --> 00:21:40,708 Speaker 1: thank you, Mike. I wasn't ready for that one. What 439 00:21:40,788 --> 00:21:42,868 Speaker 1: does he have to do during training CAD? I was 440 00:21:42,388 --> 00:21:45,708 Speaker 1: reading my bad, my bad, My bad. We got marks 441 00:21:45,708 --> 00:21:47,948 Speaker 1: on the floor. Yeah, I know, I know there's tape there. 442 00:21:48,428 --> 00:21:50,028 Speaker 1: What does Baker Mayfield have to do to win the 443 00:21:50,348 --> 00:21:53,148 Speaker 1: starting job of training kid? He needs to So it's 444 00:21:53,148 --> 00:21:55,948 Speaker 1: a little complicated in Carolina, and I've had some discussions 445 00:21:55,988 --> 00:21:59,548 Speaker 1: with some folks down there. It's about really what's the 446 00:21:59,588 --> 00:22:02,748 Speaker 1: best offense for us, And it's not just about the quarterback. 447 00:22:02,748 --> 00:22:04,188 Speaker 1: We've got a lot of moving parts. We've got a 448 00:22:04,228 --> 00:22:07,588 Speaker 1: figure out who the best five guys are up front, 449 00:22:08,068 --> 00:22:10,068 Speaker 1: and then who's the best guy behind them? How does 450 00:22:10,108 --> 00:22:12,268 Speaker 1: it work together with what we've got on the outside. 451 00:22:12,468 --> 00:22:14,908 Speaker 1: So he's obviously got to perform. He's got to show 452 00:22:14,948 --> 00:22:17,548 Speaker 1: them that physically he's fine after last year in the 453 00:22:17,548 --> 00:22:20,468 Speaker 1: shoulder that affected him. But really he's got to show 454 00:22:20,468 --> 00:22:23,228 Speaker 1: them that what I do, my skill set is best 455 00:22:23,268 --> 00:22:26,188 Speaker 1: for what we do as a team. For him, it 456 00:22:26,188 --> 00:22:28,708 Speaker 1: would be more of a spread type thing. For Sam Darnold, 457 00:22:28,748 --> 00:22:31,068 Speaker 1: you saw some of that read option type stuff that 458 00:22:31,068 --> 00:22:32,828 Speaker 1: they worked in. So that's why I want to get 459 00:22:32,868 --> 00:22:34,708 Speaker 1: there during training camp. I want to see the style 460 00:22:34,748 --> 00:22:37,228 Speaker 1: of offense that they're running with both of these guys 461 00:22:37,348 --> 00:22:40,348 Speaker 1: and what suits them best. Wow, that was really good. Mike, 462 00:22:40,668 --> 00:22:42,068 Speaker 1: you've won. We don't even have to go to the 463 00:22:42,068 --> 00:22:46,668 Speaker 1: other guys congratulation. Well, like a one man band. It 464 00:22:46,828 --> 00:22:49,108 Speaker 1: was so well I felt like I had a beat 465 00:22:49,148 --> 00:22:51,068 Speaker 1: on this when we were doing a rehearsal. So here 466 00:22:51,108 --> 00:22:53,308 Speaker 1: we go. Oh, good thing we did at rehearsal. Okay, 467 00:22:53,708 --> 00:22:57,108 Speaker 1: all right, Sean, it is your turn to spend the wheel. 468 00:22:57,388 --> 00:22:59,668 Speaker 1: You have an issues are the okay? All right, here 469 00:22:59,708 --> 00:23:02,628 Speaker 1: we go, So let's spin the wheel. Bring the chair, 470 00:23:02,628 --> 00:23:05,668 Speaker 1: all right, were ready? Show up where the wheel? Spend 471 00:23:05,668 --> 00:23:08,508 Speaker 1: the way. Let's go right there we go. Go. Thanks 472 00:23:08,548 --> 00:23:11,428 Speaker 1: for staying up there with me. Nobody knows. It looks 473 00:23:11,468 --> 00:23:15,068 Speaker 1: like you've got new say it's head coach Dennis Allen. Sean, 474 00:23:15,228 --> 00:23:19,228 Speaker 1: what should Dennis Allen be focusing on a training camp? Wow? 475 00:23:19,988 --> 00:23:22,988 Speaker 1: Big big shoes to fill for da right, Sean. Payton's 476 00:23:23,028 --> 00:23:24,988 Speaker 1: been there forever. I think he's been in the playoffs 477 00:23:25,108 --> 00:23:27,588 Speaker 1: nine years in a row. But that guy right there, 478 00:23:27,588 --> 00:23:29,948 Speaker 1: as much as he's been focused on the defense, Look, 479 00:23:29,948 --> 00:23:31,908 Speaker 1: it's all about this offense right now. Right. We gotta 480 00:23:31,908 --> 00:23:34,988 Speaker 1: make sure Jamis is healthy and Michael Thomas has got 481 00:23:34,988 --> 00:23:37,868 Speaker 1: to be healthy. So I want to if I'm Dennis Allen, 482 00:23:37,868 --> 00:23:39,868 Speaker 1: I'm in the training room. I'm checking out all the 483 00:23:39,868 --> 00:23:41,748 Speaker 1: players and making sure, hey, look we need you. We 484 00:23:42,068 --> 00:23:43,868 Speaker 1: need guys to get me ready to the rocket roll. 485 00:23:44,268 --> 00:23:47,468 Speaker 1: But from a scheme standpoint, offensively for the Saints, I 486 00:23:47,508 --> 00:23:50,028 Speaker 1: think it's all about Alvin Camaro and when you look 487 00:23:50,068 --> 00:23:52,388 Speaker 1: at they had one of the best offensive lines in 488 00:23:52,388 --> 00:23:55,828 Speaker 1: the NFL last year. They lose Toront Armstead through free agency. 489 00:23:56,108 --> 00:23:59,468 Speaker 1: They draft Trevor Penning, who was a bad dude. I 490 00:23:59,548 --> 00:24:01,948 Speaker 1: love what he brings to the table. But this offense 491 00:24:02,068 --> 00:24:03,668 Speaker 1: or what are we gonna be? What do we want 492 00:24:03,668 --> 00:24:05,508 Speaker 1: to do? Do we want to on the football all right? 493 00:24:05,508 --> 00:24:07,268 Speaker 1: Do we want to be run first and then build 494 00:24:07,308 --> 00:24:09,748 Speaker 1: play action after that? Or are we gonna let Jamis 495 00:24:09,748 --> 00:24:11,708 Speaker 1: carve it up and air it out? So that's the 496 00:24:11,708 --> 00:24:14,188 Speaker 1: biggest question for him and where I think he needs 497 00:24:14,188 --> 00:24:17,068 Speaker 1: a folks alves. I have no questions and no issues 498 00:24:17,108 --> 00:24:18,868 Speaker 1: whatsoever with the defense, so I think they're gonna be 499 00:24:18,948 --> 00:24:21,348 Speaker 1: just fine. I can't wait to see Tyr Matthew uh 500 00:24:21,988 --> 00:24:24,108 Speaker 1: in that jersey over there. But for Dennis Allen, He's 501 00:24:24,108 --> 00:24:25,948 Speaker 1: gonna spend more time with the offense than he probably 502 00:24:25,988 --> 00:24:27,828 Speaker 1: ever has in his career as the head coach and 503 00:24:27,988 --> 00:24:30,548 Speaker 1: just making sure that everything is kosher over there. Pete 504 00:24:30,548 --> 00:24:33,708 Speaker 1: Carmichael Jr. I know he's probably taking care of all 505 00:24:33,788 --> 00:24:35,868 Speaker 1: the xs and o's and the schemes and all that stuff. 506 00:24:35,908 --> 00:24:38,348 Speaker 1: But yeah, that's where Dennis All will be focused. Okay, 507 00:24:38,348 --> 00:24:40,828 Speaker 1: all right, I like it? Do I like? I take 508 00:24:40,868 --> 00:24:42,468 Speaker 1: my tries to go back over here. Yes, you take 509 00:24:42,468 --> 00:24:44,548 Speaker 1: your tries to go over there. Come away, let's continue 510 00:24:44,548 --> 00:24:47,388 Speaker 1: this thing, all right. Okay, it's Jenny Palms. I don't 511 00:24:47,428 --> 00:24:49,708 Speaker 1: like not knowing what's going on. Let's see what the 512 00:24:49,708 --> 00:24:53,548 Speaker 1: wheel has in store for you. Okay, Uh, let's get 513 00:24:53,548 --> 00:24:58,148 Speaker 1: this thing, so round it around. Oh okay, so feel 514 00:24:58,388 --> 00:25:01,588 Speaker 1: h So who do you think will emerge as Justin 515 00:25:01,628 --> 00:25:04,948 Speaker 1: Field's new favorite targets? In your opinion? I think that 516 00:25:04,988 --> 00:25:08,668 Speaker 1: would be the thought. Okay, is yours? I'm gonna go 517 00:25:10,028 --> 00:25:11,988 Speaker 1: Cole Commet, That's all I'm going with. I'm going with 518 00:25:12,028 --> 00:25:13,348 Speaker 1: the tight end. Is that a little bit of a 519 00:25:13,748 --> 00:25:16,508 Speaker 1: outside the box though? This is a guy. I think 520 00:25:16,588 --> 00:25:19,148 Speaker 1: there were spots last year the two of them got 521 00:25:19,188 --> 00:25:21,108 Speaker 1: on the same page. I think I heard that they 522 00:25:21,108 --> 00:25:23,388 Speaker 1: worked out in the offseason together a little bit. I 523 00:25:23,988 --> 00:25:26,148 Speaker 1: just think as the season went on, you saw them 524 00:25:26,188 --> 00:25:28,908 Speaker 1: grow as a pass catching jewey. We know the way 525 00:25:28,908 --> 00:25:31,188 Speaker 1: the tight end is utilized in this offensive system that 526 00:25:31,188 --> 00:25:34,108 Speaker 1: they're now going to be utilizing there. I think he 527 00:25:34,108 --> 00:25:36,908 Speaker 1: could be the red zone target if they get to 528 00:25:36,948 --> 00:25:40,148 Speaker 1: the red zone, something didn't really do last year at all. 529 00:25:40,148 --> 00:25:43,068 Speaker 1: But I think this is something that that Cole Commet needs, 530 00:25:43,228 --> 00:25:45,308 Speaker 1: honestly in his third year in the NFL, to to 531 00:25:45,428 --> 00:25:48,948 Speaker 1: go out and take another step. We saw him get better, 532 00:25:48,988 --> 00:25:50,508 Speaker 1: like I said, the second half of the year. Will 533 00:25:50,548 --> 00:25:52,148 Speaker 1: he played better than he did in the first I 534 00:25:52,188 --> 00:25:55,468 Speaker 1: think this is probably easy throws justin fields needs those 535 00:25:55,748 --> 00:25:57,828 Speaker 1: and as much as he was hit last year, yes, 536 00:25:58,548 --> 00:26:00,268 Speaker 1: that plays into it well. As much as he was 537 00:26:00,348 --> 00:26:03,428 Speaker 1: hit last year, a tight end being a guy that 538 00:26:03,468 --> 00:26:05,388 Speaker 1: you can get the football to quite a bit plays 539 00:26:05,628 --> 00:26:08,548 Speaker 1: it to be extremely important. No, I don't want to 540 00:26:08,588 --> 00:26:10,948 Speaker 1: go with Nikil Harry or Danielle Mooney. I did not. 541 00:26:11,188 --> 00:26:15,948 Speaker 1: I went. If you listened with I did listen to that, okay, 542 00:26:16,068 --> 00:26:18,028 Speaker 1: And I can't let you guys have all the fun. 543 00:26:18,188 --> 00:26:20,188 Speaker 1: So let me see what the wheel has in store 544 00:26:20,268 --> 00:26:23,388 Speaker 1: for me. Let's go, spin, spin, spin, spin, spin. Let's go. 545 00:26:23,788 --> 00:26:28,708 Speaker 1: That was well done. Where is it going Jimmy the 546 00:26:28,788 --> 00:26:31,028 Speaker 1: legend Jimmy G. We're talking about him in the A 547 00:26:31,108 --> 00:26:33,508 Speaker 1: block according to the cards. My question is, do you 548 00:26:33,588 --> 00:26:36,148 Speaker 1: think Jimmy G will be on the forty nine Ers 549 00:26:36,188 --> 00:26:38,748 Speaker 1: roster for the entirety of training camp? We were talking 550 00:26:38,748 --> 00:26:40,668 Speaker 1: about it in the last segment. No, I do not 551 00:26:40,788 --> 00:26:43,028 Speaker 1: think so. I think that he is going to be 552 00:26:43,068 --> 00:26:45,468 Speaker 1: traded here, probably in the next couple of weeks. We 553 00:26:45,468 --> 00:26:48,588 Speaker 1: were talking about the possible destinations for him. Obviously he 554 00:26:48,708 --> 00:26:51,828 Speaker 1: is beloved in that locker room, given what he's given 555 00:26:51,828 --> 00:26:54,668 Speaker 1: to the team and how he was mentoring trade Lands. 556 00:26:54,708 --> 00:26:57,668 Speaker 1: But right now it is trade Lands time. There. They 557 00:26:57,748 --> 00:27:00,468 Speaker 1: know a Trey Lance has gotten all the reps and 558 00:27:00,588 --> 00:27:03,708 Speaker 1: all these off season workouts and from everything we've heard, 559 00:27:03,828 --> 00:27:07,028 Speaker 1: has a very high football IQ. The ARNT fatigue, what 560 00:27:07,228 --> 00:27:10,228 Speaker 1: arn't fatigue. He was out there working out with guys 561 00:27:10,268 --> 00:27:13,348 Speaker 1: Brandon iu Can California. So I think that Jimmy G 562 00:27:13,548 --> 00:27:15,108 Speaker 1: is going to be moving on. We were talking about 563 00:27:15,108 --> 00:27:18,388 Speaker 1: some intriguing spots where Jimmy G could land. One that 564 00:27:18,468 --> 00:27:23,508 Speaker 1: Mike G said box maybe succeeding right there, right where 565 00:27:23,628 --> 00:27:27,788 Speaker 1: Tom Brady left off. Okay, maybe he goes to Miami 566 00:27:27,948 --> 00:27:31,468 Speaker 1: as as Shawnee had pointed out, so who knows, but 567 00:27:31,588 --> 00:27:33,348 Speaker 1: he's not going to be there for the entirety of 568 00:27:33,388 --> 00:27:36,628 Speaker 1: the forty question camp. All right, so let's get one 569 00:27:36,668 --> 00:27:41,308 Speaker 1: more in here, Mike and James. Is for both of you. Okay, 570 00:27:41,428 --> 00:27:45,628 Speaker 1: let's go now, let's go okay, all right, let's spend 571 00:27:45,668 --> 00:27:48,348 Speaker 1: this way. Let's go right now. Spin it, spin a 572 00:27:48,388 --> 00:27:49,948 Speaker 1: spinn it. Come on, big money, Come on, big money, 573 00:27:49,948 --> 00:27:54,948 Speaker 1: Come on, big money. Let's go. Ah.

Okay, what is your first question for him? 578 00:28:11,948 --> 00:28:14,988 Speaker 1: Look at this? What is my favorite is happening right now? 579 00:28:15,108 --> 00:28:20,348 Speaker 1: There's so many I listened. I would walk right by 580 00:28:20,388 --> 00:28:23,708 Speaker 1: this guy because I can a picture of one. Mike, 581 00:28:23,748 --> 00:28:26,508 Speaker 1: you know, you're reading guys, and you kind of go like, oh, 582 00:28:26,548 --> 00:28:27,788 Speaker 1: this guy doesn't want to give me the time to 583 00:28:27,868 --> 00:28:31,028 Speaker 1: day during training camps, like this guy's mostly a guy 584 00:28:31,068 --> 00:28:34,268 Speaker 1: like this. You go, yeah, this guy takes the offensive 585 00:28:34,268 --> 00:28:37,268 Speaker 1: line room fine for talking to the media, very serious. 586 00:28:37,588 --> 00:28:39,428 Speaker 1: That's what I get from this right here, Like this 587 00:28:39,748 --> 00:28:41,508 Speaker 1: guy is not going to talk to him. If he does, 588 00:28:41,948 --> 00:28:44,148 Speaker 1: it's gonna be very brief. I'm gonna walk right past 589 00:28:44,228 --> 00:28:47,668 Speaker 1: Shawn O'Hare with with these what do you got a 590 00:28:47,668 --> 00:28:49,468 Speaker 1: couple of things? I don't know.

I think that there needs to be some 597 00:29:12,948 --> 00:29:15,828 Speaker 1: context here with this. All right, every year training camp 598 00:29:16,748 --> 00:29:19,748 Speaker 1: grow out, you let it just, you know, let it 599 00:29:19,788 --> 00:29:21,828 Speaker 1: go unhinged, all right, let and get the girl. And 600 00:29:21,868 --> 00:29:24,388 Speaker 1: then the trim down process was always all right. He 601 00:29:24,508 --> 00:29:26,708 Speaker 1: season started here, would go want to look good, and 602 00:29:27,148 --> 00:29:28,788 Speaker 1: you know what, it just got It got creative, It 603 00:29:28,788 --> 00:29:31,348 Speaker 1: got a little crazy. Sometimes in Cleveland you're a little bored, 604 00:29:31,428 --> 00:29:33,588 Speaker 1: and you know what, I don't know, I don't know 605 00:29:33,668 --> 00:29:36,588 Speaker 1: what inspired that. Maybe I was watching reruns of Over 606 00:29:36,628 --> 00:29:42,588 Speaker 1: the Top. Maybe I was channeling my inner wwe WWF personality. 607 00:29:42,628 --> 00:29:44,868 Speaker 1: I don't know. Okay, well, I felt like it went 608 00:29:44,908 --> 00:29:49,028 Speaker 1: with our bad boy mentality there, and was this your 609 00:29:49,068 --> 00:29:51,948 Speaker 1: rookie year, because sometimes the rookies come out with you know, 610 00:29:52,108 --> 00:29:54,068 Speaker 1: hair dues that are all half done or yeah no, 611 00:29:54,148 --> 00:29:56,428 Speaker 1: that was like secor this was a choice. I can't blame. 612 00:29:56,468 --> 00:30:08,148 Speaker 1: I can't wait, but on everybody help myself. Choice.

He's entering his fifth NFL season, 615 00:30:14,548 --> 00:30:17,788 Speaker 1: in his first with Pittsburgh former Bills undrafted free agent. 616 00:30:17,828 --> 00:30:19,668 Speaker 1: But I'll tell you this. When I went to rookie camp, 617 00:30:20,268 --> 00:30:22,948 Speaker 1: Josh Allen showed up, but I was told watch out 618 00:30:22,948 --> 00:30:25,788 Speaker 1: for this Levi Wallace. He's undrafted, but he's absolutely gonna 619 00:30:25,788 --> 00:30:28,588 Speaker 1: play in this league for a decade. We are halfway there. 620 00:30:28,828 --> 00:30:32,108 Speaker 1: Welcome back a friend of the show, Steelers cornerback Levi 621 00:30:32,428 --> 00:30:38,428 Speaker 1: wall giving you a big blot here because you understand 622 00:30:38,468 --> 00:30:41,708 Speaker 1: what the show is about.

For the previous 625 00:30:47,148 --> 00:30:49,628 Speaker 1: segment that you were watching about throw Down Thursday, we 626 00:30:49,628 --> 00:30:52,868 Speaker 1: were talking what's better savory food or sweet food. We 627 00:30:52,908 --> 00:30:56,268 Speaker 1: went with savory food and you just didn't like our choices, 628 00:30:56,508 --> 00:30:58,188 Speaker 1: and you know what, You're right, so so give it 629 00:30:58,188 --> 00:31:01,108 Speaker 1: to us.

I 632 00:31:07,308 --> 00:31:09,788 Speaker 1: don't know the definition of junk food, but that's not 633 00:31:09,828 --> 00:31:12,268 Speaker 1: my definition, you know what I mean.

But popcorn popcorn works, but that's chocootery board. Yeah, 637 00:31:25,588 --> 00:31:29,148 Speaker 1: there you go of definition. And Levi remind them who 638 00:31:29,228 --> 00:31:32,508 Speaker 1: picked the popcorn. It was me the popcorn, So I 639 00:31:32,548 --> 00:31:35,428 Speaker 1: won the segment, according to Levi Wallace. But if somebody 640 00:31:35,428 --> 00:31:37,748 Speaker 1: had set some kind of chip or something like that, 641 00:31:37,748 --> 00:31:40,268 Speaker 1: you would have dominated me because that's junk foods he 642 00:31:40,388 --> 00:31:44,068 Speaker 1: Levi Wallace.

That leaves some big shoes for you to fill, right, 650 00:32:07,908 --> 00:32:09,788 Speaker 1: So how do you and the rest of this group 651 00:32:09,788 --> 00:32:12,948 Speaker 1: in this secondary kind of fill that whole left by 652 00:32:12,948 --> 00:32:16,828 Speaker 1: a guy like Joe Hayden everything he brings to the table. Yeah, 653 00:32:16,868 --> 00:32:18,548 Speaker 1: I've been a fan of Joe for a long time 654 00:32:18,788 --> 00:32:21,348 Speaker 1: and just the way he plays the game, the energy 655 00:32:21,388 --> 00:32:24,588 Speaker 1: that he brings to the field and to his team. 656 00:32:24,828 --> 00:32:26,668 Speaker 1: I mean, they're a second to none. And so I've 657 00:32:26,668 --> 00:32:28,708 Speaker 1: been just excited to learn the defense and play with 658 00:32:28,748 --> 00:32:32,708 Speaker 1: those new guys, with Spoon and Cam and the rest 659 00:32:32,708 --> 00:32:35,668 Speaker 1: of those guys, and you just see how good they bonds. 660 00:32:35,708 --> 00:32:38,308 Speaker 1: It's actually been super fun and I think we look 661 00:32:38,348 --> 00:32:40,348 Speaker 1: forward to the challenge and we're ready to get it done. 662 00:32:43,108 --> 00:32:46,268 Speaker 1: Leave you and I are driving in this segment because 663 00:32:46,348 --> 00:32:49,868 Speaker 1: I pick sweet as well, Big sweet guy, I'd introduce 664 00:32:49,948 --> 00:32:51,948 Speaker 1: you to Cannolis if you hadn't had them, my friend. 665 00:32:52,828 --> 00:32:57,428 Speaker 1: Either way, it's fantastic you joined a defense with a 666 00:32:57,468 --> 00:33:00,188 Speaker 1: handful of superstars. There's a t J. Watt make if 667 00:33:00,228 --> 00:33:02,708 Speaker 1: this Patrick, Cam Hayward and Devin Bush just to name 668 00:33:02,748 --> 00:33:05,788 Speaker 1: a few. Do you feel like you guys could have 669 00:33:05,948 --> 00:33:10,028 Speaker 1: the best defense in the league in twenty twenty two. Yeah, 670 00:33:10,148 --> 00:33:13,668 Speaker 1: I think for sure. It's it's definitely a challenge. I 671 00:33:13,668 --> 00:33:15,228 Speaker 1: think you have to put the work in each and 672 00:33:15,268 --> 00:33:17,548 Speaker 1: every year. I think teams just get better and better, 673 00:33:17,668 --> 00:33:20,268 Speaker 1: especially with draft picks, and so I know we're definitely 674 00:33:20,308 --> 00:33:22,988 Speaker 1: looking forward to the challenges that all brings. I mean, 675 00:33:23,028 --> 00:33:26,388 Speaker 1: those are some studs that you just mentioned, and they 676 00:33:26,428 --> 00:33:28,628 Speaker 1: work hard, and I think that's the most important thing 677 00:33:28,708 --> 00:33:30,948 Speaker 1: that I was only there for the OTAs when you 678 00:33:31,028 --> 00:33:33,228 Speaker 1: just see how hard everybody works, now dedicated they are 679 00:33:33,268 --> 00:33:35,908 Speaker 1: to that craft, and so I'm excited. I look forward 680 00:33:35,948 --> 00:33:39,148 Speaker 1: to the challenge and working with those guys and trying 681 00:33:39,148 --> 00:33:42,748 Speaker 1: to add value to the team as much as I can. Yeah, 682 00:33:42,828 --> 00:33:44,868 Speaker 1: no doubt, you got some studs up in front of 683 00:33:44,868 --> 00:33:47,468 Speaker 1: you defensively, and you're adding to the studs in the 684 00:33:47,468 --> 00:33:49,428 Speaker 1: backfield there. But let's focus on the other side of 685 00:33:49,428 --> 00:33:51,548 Speaker 1: the football. You were talking about the competition and how 686 00:33:51,548 --> 00:33:54,188 Speaker 1: everybody loves to put in all that hard work. You 687 00:33:54,268 --> 00:33:56,268 Speaker 1: mentioned that one of the reasons that you came to 688 00:33:56,348 --> 00:33:59,428 Speaker 1: the Steelers was because of Mitch Drubisky. All Right, you 689 00:33:59,468 --> 00:34:01,028 Speaker 1: said that last time you were here on the show. 690 00:34:01,668 --> 00:34:03,828 Speaker 1: A lot has happened since then. All right, they went 691 00:34:03,868 --> 00:34:06,868 Speaker 1: and drafted Kenny Pickett. So now you've got Kenny Pickett 692 00:34:06,868 --> 00:34:10,428 Speaker 1: competing with Mitch Robiski, who I think you know pretty well, 693 00:34:11,588 --> 00:34:13,788 Speaker 1: but him being the reason that you're going that you 694 00:34:13,948 --> 00:34:15,908 Speaker 1: decide to go to Pittsburgh and now there's a competition, 695 00:34:16,268 --> 00:34:18,028 Speaker 1: how do you see that playing out? And I got 696 00:34:18,028 --> 00:34:20,508 Speaker 1: to ask you, who are you looking forward to intercepting 697 00:34:20,788 --> 00:34:26,028 Speaker 1: the most the first practice? I think this being there 698 00:34:26,028 --> 00:34:28,708 Speaker 1: with Kenny Pickett. He's just a great arm talent and 699 00:34:28,748 --> 00:34:31,228 Speaker 1: you just see the potential that he has. And obviously 700 00:34:31,308 --> 00:34:33,668 Speaker 1: I said the reason I went to Pittsburgh was because 701 00:34:33,708 --> 00:34:36,228 Speaker 1: of Mitch, and so I'm excited to face them both. 702 00:34:36,308 --> 00:34:38,068 Speaker 1: I can't wait to pick both of them off and 703 00:34:38,148 --> 00:34:40,228 Speaker 1: just put them through that fire. I know we're gonna 704 00:34:40,268 --> 00:34:43,228 Speaker 1: need it when it comes to the hard games. And 705 00:34:44,268 --> 00:34:46,868 Speaker 1: I mean most two guys, you can tell just how 706 00:34:46,868 --> 00:34:49,428 Speaker 1: good they are and how well they lead. Even Mason 707 00:34:49,508 --> 00:34:52,548 Speaker 1: Rudolph's a great quarterback as well, and so you just 708 00:34:52,548 --> 00:34:54,428 Speaker 1: see the leadership that they have in that room and 709 00:34:54,508 --> 00:34:57,228 Speaker 1: the experience, I mean with Mitch having the most experience 710 00:34:57,828 --> 00:35:00,748 Speaker 1: and playing football games. So I can't wait to compete 711 00:35:00,748 --> 00:35:06,468 Speaker 1: against those guys and give them Hell's training camp. Yeah, 712 00:35:06,548 --> 00:35:08,988 Speaker 1: iron sharp as irons, just like he's doing with us here, 713 00:35:09,068 --> 00:35:11,708 Speaker 1: making sure we are on our game and not slipping. 714 00:35:11,748 --> 00:35:14,228 Speaker 1: All right, LEVI, a little more than a year ago, 715 00:35:14,748 --> 00:35:17,308 Speaker 1: your agent CJ le Boy shout out, CJ. What's up? Man? 716 00:35:17,348 --> 00:35:20,908 Speaker 1: I hope you're watching. He mentioned to me that you, 717 00:35:21,108 --> 00:35:24,108 Speaker 1: as a restricted free agent, you had teams that were 718 00:35:24,108 --> 00:35:25,668 Speaker 1: going to come after you, and you said, I don't care, 719 00:35:25,748 --> 00:35:28,108 Speaker 1: don't I don't want to entertain those offers. I want 720 00:35:28,108 --> 00:35:30,268 Speaker 1: to stay in Buffalo. We got unfinished business. I'm here 721 00:35:30,268 --> 00:35:33,828 Speaker 1: for another year unrestricted free agency. Then came this year, 722 00:35:33,828 --> 00:35:36,308 Speaker 1: and sometimes you got to make business decisions and you're 723 00:35:36,388 --> 00:35:39,788 Speaker 1: in Pittsburgh. But the point is, I know you loved Buffalo. 724 00:35:40,188 --> 00:35:42,948 Speaker 1: I'm looking at the Steelers schedule this season. You will 725 00:35:43,028 --> 00:35:45,748 Speaker 1: return to Buffalo in Week five, So what kind of 726 00:35:45,748 --> 00:35:47,548 Speaker 1: feelings do you have about that matchup? What do you 727 00:35:47,548 --> 00:35:49,748 Speaker 1: think you'll be feeling as you walk in the stadium? 728 00:35:51,068 --> 00:35:54,908 Speaker 1: Oh Man, Buffalo is my home for four years, and 729 00:35:55,588 --> 00:35:58,868 Speaker 1: it's honey, surreal to wake up not in those red, 730 00:35:58,868 --> 00:36:01,428 Speaker 1: white and blue colors, just because this has been apartment 731 00:36:01,508 --> 00:36:03,988 Speaker 1: for so long, and so I look forward to to 732 00:36:04,068 --> 00:36:06,908 Speaker 1: play I can Buffalo. It's a great atmosphere for one, 733 00:36:06,988 --> 00:36:09,188 Speaker 1: but because going against my teammates, you know, I talk 734 00:36:09,228 --> 00:36:12,508 Speaker 1: to them occasionally, and those are some of my best 735 00:36:12,548 --> 00:36:15,188 Speaker 1: friends in this world. And it's just been just a 736 00:36:15,268 --> 00:36:18,108 Speaker 1: crazy riding. So I can't wait to go there and 737 00:36:18,148 --> 00:36:20,668 Speaker 1: play against those guys and talk mess on the sideline 738 00:36:20,708 --> 00:36:24,308 Speaker 1: and get crazy because I know those guys are gonna 739 00:36:24,308 --> 00:36:26,228 Speaker 1: talk mess to me, and so I look forward to 740 00:36:26,228 --> 00:36:28,868 Speaker 1: the challenge of going to Buffalo and trying to get 741 00:36:28,868 --> 00:36:32,668 Speaker 1: a win in there. Levi I couldn't stop talking about 742 00:36:32,668 --> 00:36:34,268 Speaker 1: how much he wants to pick off his own quarterback. 743 00:36:34,268 --> 00:36:37,508 Speaker 1: So I'm assuming picking off Josh Allen's well above those 744 00:36:38,588 --> 00:36:40,388 Speaker 1: on your list. But before we let you go, Levi, 745 00:36:40,548 --> 00:36:43,348 Speaker 1: we have to ask you about the Levi Wallace Foundation 746 00:36:43,388 --> 00:36:45,068 Speaker 1: and the raffle that's going to take place at the 747 00:36:45,148 --> 00:36:48,788 Speaker 1: end of this month for the game day experience. Levi Wallace, 748 00:36:48,828 --> 00:36:52,548 Speaker 1: you have to tell us a little bit about this. Yeah, So, 749 00:36:52,588 --> 00:36:55,028 Speaker 1: I think my team on my foundation, they just do 750 00:36:55,068 --> 00:36:57,588 Speaker 1: a great job of being so creative and finding ways 751 00:36:57,588 --> 00:37:02,588 Speaker 1: to raise money for the foundation. And so the opportunity 752 00:37:02,668 --> 00:37:05,388 Speaker 1: is to be able to get two tickets, stay at 753 00:37:05,428 --> 00:37:08,908 Speaker 1: a hotel wherever you're coming from, and come on the 754 00:37:08,908 --> 00:37:10,948 Speaker 1: field after the game. And so I think it would 755 00:37:10,948 --> 00:37:14,148 Speaker 1: be a great opportunity for Pittsburgh fans. I think we 756 00:37:14,228 --> 00:37:17,508 Speaker 1: play the Patriots that week, the first home game, so 757 00:37:17,548 --> 00:37:19,308 Speaker 1: if they want to get involved too. I mean, it 758 00:37:19,348 --> 00:37:21,748 Speaker 1: all goes to a great cause, which is getting back 759 00:37:21,788 --> 00:37:24,908 Speaker 1: to the youth and creating more opportunities and giving our 760 00:37:24,948 --> 00:37:27,908 Speaker 1: scholarships in the end. And so I think if you're 761 00:37:27,908 --> 00:37:30,788 Speaker 1: going to leave our Wallace Stock Org slash game day experience, 762 00:37:31,668 --> 00:37:33,668 Speaker 1: you'll be able to find it. And the tickets from 763 00:37:33,708 --> 00:37:35,348 Speaker 1: the twenty nine dollars, you can buy as many as 764 00:37:35,348 --> 00:37:38,108 Speaker 1: you want, obviously twenty nine because that's what I wear. 765 00:37:38,548 --> 00:37:40,708 Speaker 1: And yeah, it's just going toward a great cause. And 766 00:37:41,308 --> 00:37:43,668 Speaker 1: we've done so many great things in the community back 767 00:37:43,668 --> 00:37:46,468 Speaker 1: here in Arizona, and we just continue to push the 768 00:37:46,508 --> 00:37:49,588 Speaker 1: boundaries and do more for the youth, and hopefully weeks 769 00:37:50,268 --> 00:37:53,468 Speaker 1: we plan to expand that to Pittsburgh and the inner 770 00:37:53,468 --> 00:37:55,868 Speaker 1: city kids there as well. So it should be a 771 00:37:55,868 --> 00:38:00,108 Speaker 1: great time and I look forward to your challenge. Yeah, well, awesome, awesome, 772 00:38:00,188 --> 00:38:03,188 Speaker 1: that is great work. I'm running it down to enter. Yeah, 773 00:38:03,308 --> 00:38:06,868 Speaker 1: no you can. They can rewind TVs easily. Now you 774 00:38:06,948 --> 00:38:09,268 Speaker 1: can go back and throwing a jar of peanuts and 775 00:38:09,308 --> 00:38:11,308 Speaker 1: some pop. I'm thinking if I enter now, I got 776 00:38:11,308 --> 00:38:13,588 Speaker 1: a better chance than this people trafted. You need a 777 00:38:13,628 --> 00:38:17,428 Speaker 1: CARCUDERI board though. If you want James, there you go.
