Speaker 6: this industry.

27
00:01:15,840 --> 00:01:17,880
Speaker 4: Although I'll say there was a story that dropped like

28
00:01:18,000 --> 00:01:21,039
Speaker 4: eight minutes before we walked on a set Ooh it

29
00:01:21,160 --> 00:01:25,200
Speaker 4: is spicy, and we'll get to that shortly. I don't

30
00:01:25,200 --> 00:01:27,200
Speaker 4: want to say Lebron versus Luca, but something's happening in

31
00:01:27,280 --> 00:01:29,120
Speaker 4: LA and it does not look good for the King.

32
00:01:29,560 --> 00:01:29,680
Speaker 7: Uh.

33
00:01:29,760 --> 00:01:31,399
Speaker 4: We got a great show lined up, a lot of

34
00:01:31,520 --> 00:01:35,360
Speaker 4: exciting fun guests will do Summer League stuff, little NFL,

35
00:01:35,560 --> 00:01:38,040
Speaker 4: but we're gonna start with the big debut.

36
00:01:38,200 --> 00:01:41,960
Speaker 5: Last night, Cooper Flag, the eighteen.

37
00:01:41,480 --> 00:01:44,560
Speaker 4: Year old phenom from Duke, in his first NBA Summer

38
00:01:44,640 --> 00:01:47,440
Speaker 4: League game. Now, I know everybody wants to draw dramatic,

39
00:01:47,680 --> 00:01:52,200
Speaker 4: sweeping conclusions from a Summer League game in Vegas.

40
00:01:52,360 --> 00:01:53,880
Speaker 3: I'm just gonna warn you don't do that.

41
00:01:54,200 --> 00:01:58,400
Speaker 5: Okay. The eighteen year old Cooper Flag had an uneven game.

42
00:01:58,440 --> 00:01:59,560
Speaker 3: Listen, this is what happens.

43
00:01:59,560 --> 00:02:02,400
Speaker 4: What Remember Jebin Yama last year came out in his

44
00:02:02,400 --> 00:02:05,040
Speaker 4: first Summer League game and was kind of awful, and everybody, Oh, he's.

45
00:02:04,880 --> 00:02:06,520
Speaker 3: Not gonna He's gotta be fine.

46
00:02:06,720 --> 00:02:09,880
Speaker 5: That was two years ago. But Cooper Flag last night

47
00:02:09,919 --> 00:02:13,360
Speaker 5: shoots five of twenty one ohover five on threes, and

48
00:02:13,400 --> 00:02:14,560
Speaker 5: all I hear is, well, I.

49
00:02:14,560 --> 00:02:17,280
Speaker 3: Don't know, his shot doesn't look good?

50
00:02:17,400 --> 00:02:22,600
Speaker 4: Jay, I didn't. Where is he elite? I'm like, guys,

51
00:02:23,160 --> 00:02:25,040
Speaker 4: we saw him for a full season of Duke. He's

52
00:02:25,080 --> 00:02:29,440
Speaker 4: elite everywhere. I mean, I just thought the overreaction to

53
00:02:29,480 --> 00:02:31,320
Speaker 4: Cooper Flagg shooting last night was goofy.

54
00:02:31,760 --> 00:02:33,720
Speaker 3: Let me tell you what he does well?

55
00:02:34,480 --> 00:02:36,320
Speaker 5: The guy's a winning basketball player?

56
00:02:36,680 --> 00:02:37,400
Speaker 3: Should I mention?

57
00:02:37,800 --> 00:02:41,760
Speaker 4: With seventy seconds left, he makes the game saving block

58
00:02:42,000 --> 00:02:44,880
Speaker 4: on a layup attempt by a Laker guard, just swats

59
00:02:44,880 --> 00:02:47,520
Speaker 4: it out of thin air and then gets what happens?

60
00:02:47,520 --> 00:02:50,519
Speaker 4: He comes down on the fast break and Cooper Flag

61
00:02:50,560 --> 00:02:53,440
Speaker 4: makes the game winning assist to a young Memard.

62
00:02:53,440 --> 00:02:54,519
Speaker 3: Boy did that kid look good?

63
00:02:54,960 --> 00:02:57,240
Speaker 4: And the MAVs pull out the win over the Lakers,

64
00:02:57,480 --> 00:03:02,400
Speaker 4: And somewhere along the line in the NBA mostly we

65
00:03:02,800 --> 00:03:04,600
Speaker 4: got to this, Hey, hey, if you're a jack of

66
00:03:04,639 --> 00:03:07,680
Speaker 4: old trades but master of none, I don't know.

67
00:03:07,800 --> 00:03:10,480
Speaker 5: It's just what are you a leite at?

68
00:03:10,800 --> 00:03:11,120
Speaker 7: Well?

69
00:03:11,200 --> 00:03:11,959
Speaker 5: Let me ask you, guys.

70
00:03:11,960 --> 00:03:14,680
Speaker 4: When Nicola Jokicic came into the NBA at twenty, what

71
00:03:14,760 --> 00:03:15,679
Speaker 4: was he elite at?

72
00:03:16,160 --> 00:03:17,600
Speaker 7: Anyone, anyone?

73
00:03:18,400 --> 00:03:19,400
Speaker 3: What about Yannis?

74
00:03:19,720 --> 00:03:22,239
Speaker 4: He gets to the league at nineteen, this spindly young

75
00:03:22,320 --> 00:03:23,120
Speaker 4: fellow from Greece.

76
00:03:23,960 --> 00:03:25,359
Speaker 5: What does yannesty lead at Jay?

77
00:03:26,120 --> 00:03:26,360
Speaker 7: Hey?

78
00:03:26,400 --> 00:03:30,400
Speaker 4: Sorry, length, Okay, that's not an elite trade. That's not

79
00:03:30,440 --> 00:03:33,359
Speaker 4: a skill that carries over. Like Yannis came into the league,

80
00:03:33,360 --> 00:03:35,680
Speaker 4: he wasn't a leite at anything. Cooper Flag comes in

81
00:03:35,760 --> 00:03:38,680
Speaker 4: more advanced than those guys as an eighteen year old.

82
00:03:38,720 --> 00:03:41,760
Speaker 4: Remember a month ago he should have graduated in high school.

83
00:03:41,760 --> 00:03:43,240
Speaker 3: That's when you usually graduate high school.

84
00:03:43,280 --> 00:03:48,640
Speaker 5: Right, eighteen and a half, eighteen ish.

85
00:03:46,720 --> 00:03:50,440
Speaker 4: He had completed a season at Duke, was utterly dominant,

86
00:03:50,760 --> 00:03:53,080
Speaker 4: and now is in the NBA Summer League at eighteen

87
00:03:53,120 --> 00:03:53,400
Speaker 4: and a half.

88
00:03:53,440 --> 00:03:55,680
Speaker 3: Doesn't turn nineteen until later this year.

89
00:03:56,080 --> 00:03:56,800
Speaker 5: That's crazy.

90
00:03:57,720 --> 00:04:00,000
Speaker 4: And all these people who are like Jason he shopped

91
00:04:00,120 --> 00:04:03,600
Speaker 4: five of twenty one. Look at the form on his shot. Guys,

92
00:04:03,640 --> 00:04:05,560
Speaker 4: take a time out, take a deep breath. He played

93
00:04:05,600 --> 00:04:09,280
Speaker 4: thirty two minutes last night. Okay, this guy's been working

94
00:04:09,280 --> 00:04:11,800
Speaker 4: for the last decade to get to this moment.

95
00:04:12,080 --> 00:04:12,760
Speaker 3: As a young guy.

96
00:04:12,800 --> 00:04:14,000
Speaker 5: Of course, he had butterflies.

97
00:04:14,800 --> 00:04:17,280
Speaker 4: I will point out he shot eighty four percent from

98
00:04:17,360 --> 00:04:19,359
Speaker 4: the line at Duke last season.

99
00:04:19,880 --> 00:04:21,520
Speaker 3: Okay, three point shooting.

100
00:04:22,279 --> 00:04:24,679
Speaker 4: You know how you shoot free throws as a better

101
00:04:24,800 --> 00:04:27,880
Speaker 4: descriptor of how your three point shooting could go. Cooper's

102
00:04:27,880 --> 00:04:30,320
Speaker 4: gonna be fine from three shot thirty eight percent of Duke.

103
00:04:30,480 --> 00:04:32,120
Speaker 4: I don't expect him to shoot thirty eight percent in

104
00:04:32,160 --> 00:04:35,120
Speaker 4: the NBA is a rookie, but he's gonna be fine.

105
00:04:35,800 --> 00:04:39,480
Speaker 4: I just think the overreaction and this whole like he's

106
00:04:39,600 --> 00:04:40,839
Speaker 4: andre Kirolinko.

107
00:04:41,000 --> 00:04:45,520
Speaker 3: Can we stop with that nonsense. It's just goofy.

108
00:04:45,800 --> 00:04:49,080
Speaker 4: People forget when it comes to the draft. It's not

109
00:04:49,240 --> 00:04:52,560
Speaker 4: about what you are, it's about what you can be.

110
00:04:52,680 --> 00:04:54,920
Speaker 4: I've tried to hammer this home in the NFL. I

111
00:04:55,000 --> 00:04:57,480
Speaker 4: try to hammer this home in the NBA. Nobody cares

112
00:04:57,560 --> 00:05:01,520
Speaker 4: about what VJ. Edgecomb is as a rookie in Philly.

113
00:05:02,640 --> 00:05:05,800
Speaker 4: He's drafted super high because what's he gonna be in

114
00:05:05,920 --> 00:05:08,080
Speaker 4: three four, five years. We've got him on the rookie deal.

115
00:05:08,400 --> 00:05:11,080
Speaker 4: What can he be? Well, I'm here to tell you,

116
00:05:11,320 --> 00:05:14,480
Speaker 4: Cooper flag to me. I look at him, and I

117
00:05:14,520 --> 00:05:18,080
Speaker 4: see a young Kevin Garnett. And I know everybody who's

118
00:05:18,080 --> 00:05:20,839
Speaker 4: gonna hear that and see it online is gonna say, well,

119
00:05:20,839 --> 00:05:23,520
Speaker 4: wait a minute, Kevin Garnett wont An MVP. Kevin Garnett

120
00:05:23,520 --> 00:05:25,559
Speaker 4: was leading the league in rebounds for four straight years.

121
00:05:25,680 --> 00:05:27,160
Speaker 3: Yeah, when he's like twenty.

122
00:05:26,960 --> 00:05:31,360
Speaker 4: Seven, Cooper Flag at eighteen is better than Kevin Garnett

123
00:05:31,560 --> 00:05:33,200
Speaker 4: was at eighteen period.

124
00:05:33,520 --> 00:05:35,680
Speaker 5: I mean, you can look up the stats Kevin Garnett's

125
00:05:35,720 --> 00:05:36,120
Speaker 5: rookie year.

126
00:05:36,120 --> 00:05:36,719
Speaker 3: He was fine.

127
00:05:37,680 --> 00:05:40,240
Speaker 4: Cooper Flag will be better because he's more of an

128
00:05:40,240 --> 00:05:42,320
Speaker 4: advanced player at this juncture.

129
00:05:42,680 --> 00:05:45,120
Speaker 3: Now the question becomes will he continue to.

130
00:05:45,120 --> 00:05:48,800
Speaker 4: Improve the way Yannis, the way Yo Kisch, the way

131
00:05:48,880 --> 00:05:49,679
Speaker 4: kg Those.

132
00:05:49,480 --> 00:05:50,920
Speaker 5: Guys improved dramatically.

133
00:05:51,320 --> 00:05:54,159
Speaker 4: Guys like Lebron and Luca came in not as finished products,

134
00:05:54,240 --> 00:05:57,560
Speaker 4: but they were different. Okay, Luca was like twenty one,

135
00:05:58,120 --> 00:06:00,720
Speaker 4: seven and six as a rookie. Lebron I think was

136
00:06:00,760 --> 00:06:04,040
Speaker 4: like averaging nineteen points, five boards, five assists. Those are

137
00:06:04,120 --> 00:06:09,520
Speaker 4: other worldly numbers. Extraordinary players, historic greats. I think Cooper

138
00:06:09,520 --> 00:06:12,279
Speaker 4: Flag can get there. He's obviously not there yet, but

139
00:06:12,360 --> 00:06:15,279
Speaker 4: can we please stop overreacting to him shooting five of

140
00:06:15,360 --> 00:06:17,800
Speaker 4: twenty one in what he called one of the worst

141
00:06:17,839 --> 00:06:18,680
Speaker 4: games of his life.

142
00:06:18,760 --> 00:06:21,159
Speaker 5: Here's Cooper Flag on his Summer League debut.

143
00:06:22,440 --> 00:06:24,680
Speaker 8: I'll just kind of really get into a rhythm you know,

144
00:06:24,680 --> 00:06:27,280
Speaker 8: it's a different environment. You know, I think it's obviously

145
00:06:27,320 --> 00:06:29,800
Speaker 8: very differ college. It's probably very different from what you

146
00:06:29,839 --> 00:06:32,360
Speaker 8: know the run is. That'd be like, I'm not necessarily worried,

147
00:06:32,360 --> 00:06:35,240
Speaker 8: but obviously just not happy with that win, but enough

148
00:06:35,320 --> 00:06:36,360
Speaker 8: and then they would get the way.

149
00:06:37,600 --> 00:06:39,640
Speaker 4: Yeah, I mean, listen, the win matters, I'm sure to

150
00:06:39,760 --> 00:06:42,880
Speaker 4: those who care about Summer League, and Cooper Flag obviously

151
00:06:42,880 --> 00:06:45,680
Speaker 4: wants to start his career with a win. I'll just say,

152
00:06:45,760 --> 00:06:48,600
Speaker 4: I see a guy who does everything well at eighteen,

153
00:06:48,720 --> 00:06:52,159
Speaker 4: and that frankly terrifies me. Winning and what he is,

154
00:06:52,200 --> 00:06:54,240
Speaker 4: he's a winning player. I mean, don't let's not bring

155
00:06:54,360 --> 00:06:55,960
Speaker 4: up the loss to Houston that costs me a lot

156
00:06:56,000 --> 00:06:58,000
Speaker 4: of money in the NCAA tournament. That was not on

157
00:06:58,040 --> 00:07:00,560
Speaker 4: Cooper Flag. He's got to get the ball. And oh,

158
00:07:00,600 --> 00:07:02,440
Speaker 4: by the way, just one last small thing for the

159
00:07:02,440 --> 00:07:05,840
Speaker 4: basketball hoop heads out there, go look at the reel

160
00:07:06,040 --> 00:07:08,880
Speaker 4: of Cooper Flag last night. Every time he got in

161
00:07:08,920 --> 00:07:12,920
Speaker 4: a lane, two three defenders waiting for not gonna happen.

162
00:07:12,920 --> 00:07:15,119
Speaker 4: In the NBA, folks, he'll be surrounded by real NBA

163
00:07:15,200 --> 00:07:19,320
Speaker 4: players like Klay Thompson, who you can't leave open, like PJ. Washington,

164
00:07:19,560 --> 00:07:22,000
Speaker 4: who becomes all of a sudden a good shooter when

165
00:07:22,000 --> 00:07:25,200
Speaker 4: he's around Luca and Kyrie. He's gonna have NBA players

166
00:07:25,240 --> 00:07:27,200
Speaker 4: around him, You're not gonna be able to clog the lane.

167
00:07:27,200 --> 00:07:28,960
Speaker 4: And Cooper Flag's gonna be duncan on a lot of

168
00:07:29,000 --> 00:07:29,760
Speaker 4: people and.

169
00:07:29,720 --> 00:07:31,840
Speaker 3: Have a really good rookie year.

170
00:07:32,440 --> 00:07:34,560
Speaker 4: All right, I want to pivot now to a story

171
00:07:34,560 --> 00:07:37,040
Speaker 4: that was just breaking right before we came on air

172
00:07:37,600 --> 00:07:44,760
Speaker 4: about a fractured relationship between the Lakers and Lebron James. Now,

173
00:07:45,080 --> 00:07:48,840
Speaker 4: if you've been paying attention for a couple of weeks, it's.

174
00:07:48,680 --> 00:07:52,200
Speaker 3: Been smelling a little funky in LA. Things have not

175
00:07:52,360 --> 00:07:54,520
Speaker 3: been trending well.

176
00:07:54,560 --> 00:07:58,560
Speaker 4: And according to a big deep dive from Brian Windhurst

177
00:07:58,600 --> 00:08:03,239
Speaker 4: and Ramona Shelbourne, Lebron James is pretty ticked off. And listen,

178
00:08:03,280 --> 00:08:05,760
Speaker 4: you can see from his actions that he's not thrilled

179
00:08:05,760 --> 00:08:09,120
Speaker 4: with what's going on. And according to the story, and

180
00:08:09,160 --> 00:08:11,480
Speaker 4: Windhorst is a great reporter and I know him well

181
00:08:11,520 --> 00:08:14,080
Speaker 4: and Ramona Shelburn, they're good. They're buttoned up. This is

182
00:08:14,360 --> 00:08:18,280
Speaker 4: top level stuff. This isn't transactional reporting. They are handed

183
00:08:18,320 --> 00:08:19,800
Speaker 4: to you from agents. This is stuff you got a

184
00:08:19,800 --> 00:08:25,520
Speaker 4: fish for and it sounds like the gist of it is, Hey, Lakers,

185
00:08:25,640 --> 00:08:30,960
Speaker 4: let's remember a few things here. Lebron picked the Lakers.

186
00:08:31,640 --> 00:08:35,000
Speaker 4: Lebron dragged the Lakers out of the wilderness.

187
00:08:35,640 --> 00:08:37,920
Speaker 5: Everybody wants to remember. Kobe's final game was awesome.

188
00:08:37,960 --> 00:08:38,360
Speaker 7: It was.

189
00:08:39,800 --> 00:08:42,120
Speaker 4: The final five years before Lebron got there, the Lakers

190
00:08:42,160 --> 00:08:45,599
Speaker 4: were a dumpster fire. It was the worst stretch in

191
00:08:45,640 --> 00:08:49,840
Speaker 4: franchise history. Lebron saved them. He pulled them out of

192
00:08:49,880 --> 00:08:53,240
Speaker 4: that disaster, okay, and within a couple of years brought

193
00:08:53,240 --> 00:08:58,440
Speaker 4: them a title, got them Anthony Davis. Okay, Lebron saved

194
00:08:58,559 --> 00:09:00,880
Speaker 4: the Lakers franchise. That's not probably, that's fact.

195
00:09:01,320 --> 00:09:02,000
Speaker 7: He saved him.

196
00:09:03,240 --> 00:09:07,480
Speaker 4: And now as he ages into his forties, Lebron is

197
00:09:07,520 --> 00:09:11,040
Speaker 4: feeling like the love is not quite there anymore and

198
00:09:11,080 --> 00:09:14,720
Speaker 4: the focus is on the new shiny toy Luka Doncic.

199
00:09:15,080 --> 00:09:19,160
Speaker 4: And this article really articulates how there was a big

200
00:09:19,800 --> 00:09:22,679
Speaker 4: whine and dine between the powers that be of the

201
00:09:22,760 --> 00:09:27,280
Speaker 4: Lakers and Luca and Lebron didn't get the invite. Maybe

202
00:09:27,320 --> 00:09:30,160
Speaker 4: he has got lost in the mail. And it was basically,

203
00:09:30,160 --> 00:09:32,160
Speaker 4: how can we move forward. Here's our game players that

204
00:09:32,200 --> 00:09:35,360
Speaker 4: we want to do and it was like Lebron was

205
00:09:35,400 --> 00:09:37,720
Speaker 4: not an integral part of that, and you could see

206
00:09:37,720 --> 00:09:39,720
Speaker 4: how he would feel salty. He was a second team

207
00:09:39,720 --> 00:09:42,040
Speaker 4: All NBA. Guys, he's the greatest player in the history

208
00:09:42,040 --> 00:09:46,720
Speaker 4: of basketball, and he was awesome last year at this age, Like,

209
00:09:47,080 --> 00:09:48,200
Speaker 4: can we respect.

210
00:09:47,920 --> 00:09:49,520
Speaker 3: Him a little bit now?

211
00:09:49,640 --> 00:09:53,320
Speaker 4: From the Lakers camp, they will certainly push back, well, well,

212
00:09:53,360 --> 00:09:57,360
Speaker 4: wait a minute, Lebron, what are you talking about last year?

213
00:09:57,440 --> 00:09:59,839
Speaker 4: You want us to draft your boy, bronni We drafted

214
00:09:59,880 --> 00:10:03,440
Speaker 4: him last year. You want a JJ Redick as head coach,

215
00:10:03,880 --> 00:10:06,960
Speaker 4: We got him. So we're still catering to you, my guy.

216
00:10:07,280 --> 00:10:08,480
Speaker 4: You're still in our game plan.

217
00:10:09,559 --> 00:10:12,760
Speaker 5: But the problem is things have changed since last summer.

218
00:10:13,440 --> 00:10:16,040
Speaker 3: The Luka Doncics trade changed everything.

219
00:10:16,400 --> 00:10:19,400
Speaker 4: Remember before the Lakers were like, oh, we can build

220
00:10:19,440 --> 00:10:24,079
Speaker 4: around Anthony Davis going forward, as Lebron gets into his forties, ad.

221
00:10:23,960 --> 00:10:27,280
Speaker 3: Will be our centerpiece. Lakers had an opportunity to.

222
00:10:27,240 --> 00:10:31,280
Speaker 4: Get younger and better and they did that, and it's

223
00:10:31,360 --> 00:10:35,760
Speaker 4: pretty clear there's some mending of fences to be done

224
00:10:35,800 --> 00:10:39,439
Speaker 4: with Lebron and Jovann Buja, who covers the Lakers closely.

225
00:10:40,400 --> 00:10:43,880
Speaker 4: He was on here yesterday talking about this relationship. Lebron

226
00:10:43,920 --> 00:10:46,120
Speaker 4: wants him to spend all the picks. Here's Jovann talking

227
00:10:46,120 --> 00:10:46,800
Speaker 4: about the issues.

228
00:10:47,880 --> 00:10:49,439
Speaker 9: This is the first time you could say in Lebron's

229
00:10:49,440 --> 00:10:52,400
Speaker 9: career he hasn't been the sole focus or the primary

230
00:10:52,440 --> 00:10:55,280
Speaker 9: focus of his franchise that he's been on. Like even

231
00:10:55,320 --> 00:10:57,640
Speaker 9: with Ad it was all like it was always Lebron

232
00:10:57,640 --> 00:11:00,280
Speaker 9: trying to pass the baton to Ad Luke, who just

233
00:11:00,320 --> 00:11:01,800
Speaker 9: came in and got the baton right.

234
00:11:01,840 --> 00:11:03,960
Speaker 7: Like, I get it. He's a guy who's about to.

235
00:11:04,000 --> 00:11:05,920
Speaker 9: Enter his prime, has already led a team to the finals.

236
00:11:05,960 --> 00:11:08,200
Speaker 9: But Lebron's just I think the big thing is like

237
00:11:08,240 --> 00:11:11,040
Speaker 9: he sees the finish line, whether it's another year, two years,

238
00:11:11,280 --> 00:11:13,360
Speaker 9: and he wants to win that fifth ring, and it

239
00:11:13,400 --> 00:11:15,880
Speaker 9: doesn't feel like the Lakers are going all in on

240
00:11:15,960 --> 00:11:16,800
Speaker 9: this year's roster.

241
00:11:18,240 --> 00:11:20,960
Speaker 4: So now that's a decent point. Lebron's looking around being like,

242
00:11:21,320 --> 00:11:24,160
Speaker 4: are we better? Can we compete with Denver and Houston?

243
00:11:24,320 --> 00:11:27,040
Speaker 4: I think DeAndre Aiden, I know the take yesterday did

244
00:11:27,080 --> 00:11:27,920
Speaker 4: not go over well.

245
00:11:27,720 --> 00:11:28,520
Speaker 3: On the Andrew webs.

246
00:11:29,559 --> 00:11:31,880
Speaker 4: Let's just be real, guys, DeAndre Aiden at eight million

247
00:11:31,920 --> 00:11:35,560
Speaker 4: dollars is a heist next year for the Lakers. Absolute

248
00:11:35,600 --> 00:11:38,520
Speaker 4: steal you take him over Rudy Gobert for thirty six

249
00:11:38,559 --> 00:11:39,680
Speaker 4: million in a heartbeat.

250
00:11:40,200 --> 00:11:42,439
Speaker 5: All right, So the Lakers did get better.

251
00:11:42,520 --> 00:11:45,240
Speaker 4: Obviously, Aiden's got a bit of an ugly history being

252
00:11:45,240 --> 00:11:47,720
Speaker 4: a malecontent. But let's see if he shapes up with

253
00:11:47,840 --> 00:11:50,680
Speaker 4: Luca and Lebron on the roster. And I got to

254
00:11:50,720 --> 00:11:53,520
Speaker 4: ask this Bradley Beal thing. A lot of people are

255
00:11:53,520 --> 00:11:56,640
Speaker 4: projecting the Clippers to get him. If the Lakers get Beal.

256
00:11:57,640 --> 00:11:59,600
Speaker 4: I don't want to hear this. It's like Russell Westbrook.

257
00:11:59,640 --> 00:12:02,440
Speaker 3: It's absolutely not. They're not even close to the same player.

258
00:12:03,440 --> 00:12:06,160
Speaker 5: Westbrook's kind of an unhinged I'm gonna get mine.

259
00:12:06,200 --> 00:12:07,080
Speaker 3: I can do it myself.

260
00:12:07,120 --> 00:12:07,320
Speaker 7: Guy.

261
00:12:07,760 --> 00:12:11,120
Speaker 4: That's not Bradley Beal. Bradley Bial's never want anything, never

262
00:12:11,120 --> 00:12:15,080
Speaker 4: been anywhere. He'll fall in line. I think obviously Lebron

263
00:12:15,200 --> 00:12:17,560
Speaker 4: is upset with how things went. Remember at the deadline,

264
00:12:17,559 --> 00:12:19,600
Speaker 4: they could have got Mark Williams, which would have been

265
00:12:19,600 --> 00:12:23,360
Speaker 4: good Lakers Nicks that trade. I think in hindsight, we'll

266
00:12:23,360 --> 00:12:25,360
Speaker 4: look back at that moment and be like that was smart.

267
00:12:25,600 --> 00:12:28,360
Speaker 4: Why Because the Lakers are not gonna be hamstrung for

268
00:12:28,400 --> 00:12:31,640
Speaker 4: the next three four five years. They're able to build

269
00:12:32,040 --> 00:12:34,400
Speaker 4: quickly around Luca, and I guess I can wrap up

270
00:12:34,400 --> 00:12:39,719
Speaker 4: with this. The whole two timelines thing is difficult. You

271
00:12:39,760 --> 00:12:42,600
Speaker 4: want to know, go ask the Golden State Warriors. Remember

272
00:12:42,720 --> 00:12:47,280
Speaker 4: after Durant left, they had injuries to Clay and Curry.

273
00:12:47,400 --> 00:12:49,880
Speaker 4: They end up with a top five pick and that's

274
00:12:49,880 --> 00:12:54,160
Speaker 4: where they've got James Wiseman, and they also got Jonathan Kuminga.

275
00:12:54,280 --> 00:12:56,360
Speaker 4: And those were two guys they thought they could build

276
00:12:56,400 --> 00:13:01,480
Speaker 4: around going forward, but they had this old ring Draymond Green,

277
00:13:01,600 --> 00:13:05,480
Speaker 4: Klay Thompson Lebron. How do you merge those two timelines

278
00:13:05,480 --> 00:13:08,120
Speaker 4: and get them on the same page. Now, the Warriors,

279
00:13:08,559 --> 00:13:12,280
Speaker 4: while they technically couldn't figure it out, they did figure

280
00:13:12,320 --> 00:13:15,520
Speaker 4: it out because they got another title, but they didn't

281
00:13:15,559 --> 00:13:19,800
Speaker 4: secure the long term with Wiseman and Kamingo. Wiseman got

282
00:13:19,840 --> 00:13:22,640
Speaker 4: shipped out of town. He really hasn't panned out anywhere,

283
00:13:23,040 --> 00:13:26,120
Speaker 4: and Kaminga is probably gonna land elsewhere here in the

284
00:13:26,120 --> 00:13:27,160
Speaker 4: next ten days.

285
00:13:27,520 --> 00:13:29,000
Speaker 3: So that timeline's done.

286
00:13:29,240 --> 00:13:33,599
Speaker 4: It's difficult to thread that needle between young guys and

287
00:13:33,679 --> 00:13:38,160
Speaker 4: old Luca. What twenty six Lebron forty, that's gonna be

288
00:13:38,200 --> 00:13:41,439
Speaker 4: immensely difficult. There are gonna be some hiccups. I think

289
00:13:41,480 --> 00:13:44,600
Speaker 4: they just Lakers need to man up, get to the table.

290
00:13:44,720 --> 00:13:47,760
Speaker 4: Tell Lebron, hey, we can compete. DeAndre.

291
00:13:47,920 --> 00:13:48,120
Speaker 10: Hey.

292
00:13:48,160 --> 00:13:51,160
Speaker 4: By the way, Lebron, did you watch how Okase struggled

293
00:13:51,320 --> 00:13:55,000
Speaker 4: against Jokic. Did you see how Okase struggled against Zubac?

294
00:13:55,360 --> 00:13:58,120
Speaker 4: They can't handle Biggs, then they gotta go Bigs and

295
00:13:58,120 --> 00:14:00,880
Speaker 4: their strength of guards and wings goes out the window.

296
00:14:01,120 --> 00:14:05,120
Speaker 4: We've got eighton. Obviously he's not Jokic, but he can

297
00:14:05,200 --> 00:14:07,760
Speaker 4: hang inside. He'll give okay, see problems like there is

298
00:14:07,840 --> 00:14:11,439
Speaker 4: a world where the Lakers compete. But I think Lebron

299
00:14:11,559 --> 00:14:13,600
Speaker 4: just needs to be shown to love and.

300
00:14:13,559 --> 00:14:16,400
Speaker 3: Frankly, sometimes we all need a little bit of love.

301
00:14:16,480 --> 00:14:16,640
Speaker 10: Right.

302
00:14:17,280 --> 00:14:21,440
Speaker 4: We have a phenomenal show today and coming up next. OKC,

303
00:14:21,640 --> 00:14:24,320
Speaker 4: You know I just mentioned them. They just signed another

304
00:14:24,400 --> 00:14:28,280
Speaker 4: guy to a massive contract, but their title window it's

305
00:14:28,320 --> 00:14:31,240
Speaker 4: smaller than you think because of some dumb NBA rules.

306
00:14:31,360 --> 00:14:35,280
Speaker 3: That's next year on The Herd.

307
00:14:35,280 --> 00:14:37,880

Speaker 11: Zada and Super Bowl champion. Yep, that's right, Plexico Birds.

316
00:15:02,360 --> 00:15:04,600
Speaker 11: You can only name a show with that type of

317
00:15:04,640 --> 00:15:07,320
Speaker 11: talent on it. Up on Game We're going to be

318

Speaker 11: sharing our real life experiences loaded with teachable moments. Listen

Speaker 11: wherever you get your podcast from.

322
00:15:27,320 --> 00:15:31,320
Speaker 4: Welcome back our number two here on the Herd. It's

323
00:15:31,360 --> 00:15:34,600
Speaker 4: a gorgeous Friday morning in Los Angeles.

324
00:15:34,760 --> 00:15:38,160
Speaker 5: It's me Jason McIntyre in for Colin Cowhard. I did

325
00:15:38,600 --> 00:15:43,000
Speaker 5: speak with the big guy yesterday. He is enjoying the

326
00:15:43,040 --> 00:15:47,720
Speaker 5: burning embers of his summer vacation in Heart's Unknown.

327
00:15:47,760 --> 00:15:49,920
Speaker 4: I just like saying that because they used to announce

328
00:15:49,960 --> 00:15:52,240
Speaker 4: a wrestling duel from Parts Unknown.

329
00:15:52,360 --> 00:15:53,480
Speaker 3: I don't know if you guys remember that.

330
00:15:53,680 --> 00:15:55,920
Speaker 5: Yes, I was a huge wrestling fan as a kid.

331
00:15:56,480 --> 00:15:59,160
Speaker 3: I'm joined by Alex Curry, who I don't track. Were

332
00:15:59,200 --> 00:15:59,960
Speaker 3: you a wrestling fan?

333
00:16:00,200 --> 00:16:03,840
Speaker 6: No, No, I will say now, I appreciate the art

334
00:16:03,920 --> 00:16:07,560
Speaker 6: of it because it is. It's art, it's acting. And

335
00:16:07,920 --> 00:16:10,000
Speaker 6: I think when you look at it that way, like

336
00:16:10,040 --> 00:16:12,040
Speaker 6: it's not you're like, oh, it's not real. It's like,

337
00:16:12,040 --> 00:16:15,120
Speaker 6: oh no, it's real. These are incredible athletes. But it's theater.

338
00:16:15,320 --> 00:16:15,760
Speaker 7: It's theater.

339
00:16:15,920 --> 00:16:17,640
Speaker 6: It's theater, so you have to look at it like theater.

340
00:16:17,720 --> 00:16:19,520
Speaker 6: And I was a big theater nerd as a Thespian

341
00:16:19,560 --> 00:16:21,880
Speaker 6: growing up, So like once I think I equated it

342
00:16:21,880 --> 00:16:23,440
Speaker 6: to that, I was like, oh, I get it.

343
00:16:23,480 --> 00:16:24,200
Speaker 3: This is cool.

344
00:16:24,440 --> 00:16:28,160
Speaker 4: Jake the Sake, Roberts Ultimate Warriors, don't know very names.

345
00:16:28,200 --> 00:16:28,720
Speaker 3: I know The Rock.

346
00:16:28,800 --> 00:16:31,080
Speaker 5: I love Dayne the Rock Johnson, he's like my fave.

347
00:16:31,440 --> 00:16:32,480
Speaker 5: It seems like a nice guy.

348
00:16:32,720 --> 00:16:33,040
Speaker 7: All right.

349
00:16:33,080 --> 00:16:36,120
Speaker 4: Coming up here in like six minutes, Holy cow, we

350
00:16:36,160 --> 00:16:40,600
Speaker 4: get an all pro NFL quarterback, Marlon Humphrey from the Ravens.

351
00:16:40,920 --> 00:16:44,400
Speaker 4: You know, there's a new ranking out The best secondary

352
00:16:44,400 --> 00:16:47,680
Speaker 4: in the league belongs to the Ravens. Interesting the way

353
00:16:47,680 --> 00:16:50,360
Speaker 4: they're building it. But we'll talk to Marlon Humphrey soon.

354
00:16:50,680 --> 00:16:51,560
Speaker 3: I want to go here.

355
00:16:52,160 --> 00:16:54,200
Speaker 5: They love to do a good list on this show.

356
00:16:54,520 --> 00:16:58,800
Speaker 5: They travel well online, so they came up with j MAC.

357
00:16:58,880 --> 00:17:01,040
Speaker 5: We need a six pack of teams that can win

358
00:17:01,120 --> 00:17:05,960
Speaker 5: the Super Bowl, and there's a couple obvious ones we'll

359
00:17:06,000 --> 00:17:09,399
Speaker 5: get to. I could only find two in the AFC

360
00:17:10,440 --> 00:17:13,399
Speaker 5: and four in the NFC. So here's my six teams

361
00:17:13,400 --> 00:17:17,240
Speaker 5: as of right now, early July twenty twenty five, who

362
00:17:17,240 --> 00:17:20,760
Speaker 5: can win the twenty twenty six Super Bowl. Let's start

363
00:17:21,119 --> 00:17:22,960
Speaker 5: with the San Francisco forty nine ers.

364
00:17:23,080 --> 00:17:25,520
Speaker 4: They had a terrible year last year, but it was

365
00:17:25,600 --> 00:17:29,280
Speaker 4: due to injury. Now they get Brandon and Ayuk should

366
00:17:29,280 --> 00:17:31,720
Speaker 4: be back, although I'm seeing one report he may not

367
00:17:31,880 --> 00:17:35,600
Speaker 4: start Week one. We'll see, but you should be a

368
00:17:35,640 --> 00:17:39,440
Speaker 4: factor when he returns. Obviously, the young fellow they drafted

369
00:17:39,520 --> 00:17:42,560
Speaker 4: last year, that Christian McCaffrey, comes back.

370
00:17:42,840 --> 00:17:46,119
Speaker 5: Trent William still breathing. I think this is going to

371
00:17:46,160 --> 00:17:46,879
Speaker 5: be a great team.

372
00:17:47,000 --> 00:17:50,879
Speaker 4: The schedule is the great determinant, with the Niners easiest

373
00:17:50,920 --> 00:17:53,800
Speaker 4: by far in the league. They only face three playoff

374
00:17:53,800 --> 00:17:56,000
Speaker 4: teams from last year. They don't face any of the

375
00:17:56,040 --> 00:17:58,840
Speaker 4: top five quarterbacks in the league. Folks, the Niners are

376
00:17:58,880 --> 00:18:01,879
Speaker 4: a Super Bowl contender. I would say a minimum of

377
00:18:01,920 --> 00:18:03,880
Speaker 4: twelve or thirteen wins next up.

378
00:18:04,320 --> 00:18:06,159
Speaker 5: My pick to win the Super Bowl next year the

379
00:18:06,200 --> 00:18:07,119
Speaker 5: Buffalo Bills.

380
00:18:07,359 --> 00:18:09,439
Speaker 4: They've been knocking on the door for a few years.

381
00:18:09,960 --> 00:18:11,879
Speaker 4: Josh Allen obviously tremendous.

382
00:18:11,880 --> 00:18:12,520
Speaker 3: They came up a.

383
00:18:12,480 --> 00:18:15,480
Speaker 4: Little short in the playoff game in Kansas City. We

384
00:18:15,520 --> 00:18:19,760
Speaker 4: will not relitigate the terrible officiating in that one. Obviously

385
00:18:19,800 --> 00:18:23,040
Speaker 4: Buffalo had some self inflicted wounds. Trying to pull off

386
00:18:23,080 --> 00:18:25,840
Speaker 4: the tush push, brotherly show, whatever you want to call it,

387
00:18:26,160 --> 00:18:27,880
Speaker 4: repeatedly and it failed.

388
00:18:28,560 --> 00:18:30,520
Speaker 3: The Bill did add Joey Bosa.

389
00:18:30,800 --> 00:18:34,680
Speaker 4: Not a bad pickup Josh Palmer from the Chargers Tredavius White.

390
00:18:34,760 --> 00:18:36,520
Speaker 4: Not sure what he can give you as like a

391
00:18:36,640 --> 00:18:40,800
Speaker 4: Nicol dime quarterback. But they also have a very favorable

392
00:18:40,840 --> 00:18:47,120
Speaker 4: schedule and they've won the last five AFCAST titles. Wow,

393
00:18:47,160 --> 00:18:48,760
Speaker 4: it did not realize that it's been a while for

394
00:18:48,840 --> 00:18:52,359
Speaker 4: my Jets, the third team, I think they win the

395
00:18:52,359 --> 00:18:54,640
Speaker 4: Super Bowl next year. A bit of a dart throw

396
00:18:54,720 --> 00:18:59,360
Speaker 4: here Washington Commanders, so instantly I get pushed back. Well,

397
00:18:59,400 --> 00:19:02,240
Speaker 4: the Texans had a good first year with CJ. Stroud,

398
00:19:02,320 --> 00:19:03,359
Speaker 4: then they fell back a.

399
00:19:03,359 --> 00:19:05,560
Speaker 3: Little, still made the playoffs. I thought.

400
00:19:05,640 --> 00:19:08,919
Speaker 4: Washington adding Laramie Tunzel and Deebo Samuel was just a

401
00:19:08,960 --> 00:19:12,359
Speaker 4: stroke of genius. I think is a really good team.

402
00:19:12,600 --> 00:19:15,120
Speaker 4: I think they'll push the Eagles in the NFC East.

403
00:19:15,160 --> 00:19:19,439
Speaker 4: They're vastly superior to the Cowboys and Giants, and you

404
00:19:19,560 --> 00:19:21,880
Speaker 4: just you look at the continuity, kept their head coach,

405
00:19:21,960 --> 00:19:25,040
Speaker 4: kept both coordinators. Terry McLaurin told out should be done

406
00:19:25,080 --> 00:19:28,359
Speaker 4: here shortly, folks. I know they got slaughtered by the

407
00:19:28,400 --> 00:19:32,640
Speaker 4: Eagles in the NFC Championship game. They will be much

408
00:19:32,640 --> 00:19:35,600
Speaker 4: better if that win over Detroit in the playoffs. I mean,

409
00:19:35,680 --> 00:19:38,000
Speaker 4: did Jayden Daniels making the leap in year two? I'm

410
00:19:38,040 --> 00:19:40,600
Speaker 4: bullish on Washington. I think they could win the Super Bowl.

411
00:19:40,800 --> 00:19:42,680
Speaker 5: Team number four, Yes, you got to go for the

412
00:19:42,680 --> 00:19:43,760
Speaker 5: Philadelphia Eagles.

413
00:19:43,960 --> 00:19:46,600
Speaker 4: They are favored to repeat. I do think it'll be

414
00:19:46,600 --> 00:19:50,879
Speaker 4: a challenge. I would not bet them to repeat. Offensive

415
00:19:50,880 --> 00:19:54,000
Speaker 4: line is formidable. Saquon Barkley coming off a heavy usage

416
00:19:54,080 --> 00:19:56,080
Speaker 4: year scares me a little bit. You know, I have

417
00:19:56,200 --> 00:19:58,600
Speaker 4: Jalen Hurts as the fifth best quarterback in the NFL.

418
00:19:59,000 --> 00:20:00,920
Speaker 3: They did lose their defensive coordinator.

419
00:20:01,320 --> 00:20:05,399
Speaker 4: They lost Makai Becked and Josh Swtt, Brandon Graham, Darius Lay, CJ.

420
00:20:05,640 --> 00:20:08,639
Speaker 3: Gardner, Johnson. That's like six starters gone.

421
00:20:08,920 --> 00:20:12,080
Speaker 4: But the Eagles are gonna certainly be an eleven win

422
00:20:12,160 --> 00:20:14,399
Speaker 4: team and there's just too much talent not to be

423
00:20:14,400 --> 00:20:18,800
Speaker 4: in the Super Bowl discussion. Next up, yes, sirree, the

424
00:20:19,040 --> 00:20:23,440
Speaker 4: La Rams. They are really the Arrows. Super duper pointing

425
00:20:23,520 --> 00:20:27,560
Speaker 4: upward for them. They had the best off season according

426
00:20:27,640 --> 00:20:28,600
Speaker 4: to one report.

427
00:20:28,640 --> 00:20:29,879
Speaker 3: You know they grade the moves.

428
00:20:30,240 --> 00:20:33,040
Speaker 4: One report had the Rams having the best off season.

429
00:20:33,520 --> 00:20:36,800
Speaker 4: Adding DeVante Adams certainly helps. They lose Cooper Cup, but

430
00:20:36,880 --> 00:20:41,200
Speaker 4: DeVante Adams and Pooka that is pretty impressive. And they're

431
00:20:41,320 --> 00:20:45,879
Speaker 4: drafts the last couple of years. Between Pooka Jared vers Fisk,

432
00:20:46,400 --> 00:20:47,320
Speaker 4: they've just hit.

433
00:20:47,200 --> 00:20:51,000
Speaker 5: Home run after home run. Is a really really good team.

434
00:20:51,400 --> 00:20:53,919
Speaker 4: If the offensive line holds up, they should make the

435
00:20:54,000 --> 00:20:54,960
Speaker 4: NFC Championship.

436
00:20:55,280 --> 00:20:59,120
Speaker 3: Finally, my final team of the six.

437
00:20:59,000 --> 00:21:01,359
Speaker 4: Pack, they could win the Super And it's not just

438
00:21:01,359 --> 00:21:03,360
Speaker 4: because he's coming up as a guest here, but Baltimore

439
00:21:03,440 --> 00:21:08,560
Speaker 4: Ravens number one secondary in the NFL. Obviously, the Lamar

440
00:21:08,680 --> 00:21:12,280
Speaker 4: Jackson a Derreck Henry combination is just filthy.

441
00:21:12,720 --> 00:21:14,679
Speaker 3: You have to love adding.

442
00:21:14,520 --> 00:21:17,359
Speaker 4: JayR Alexander as like a dime cornerback. They got him

443
00:21:17,359 --> 00:21:22,159
Speaker 4: on the cheap Malachi Starks should form the best safety

444
00:21:22,240 --> 00:21:23,840
Speaker 4: duo in the league. I know he's only a rookie,

445
00:21:23,880 --> 00:21:26,399
Speaker 4: but he and Hamilton should be really formidable on the

446
00:21:26,400 --> 00:21:30,040
Speaker 4: back end. If the wide receivers can stay healthy. I mean, listen,

447
00:21:30,040 --> 00:21:33,280
Speaker 4: if Mark Andrews doesn't drop a two point conversion. I

448
00:21:33,320 --> 00:21:36,400
Speaker 4: don't know the Ravens any Super Bowl? Do they beat

449
00:21:36,400 --> 00:21:39,240
Speaker 4: the Chiefs on the road? Is a really, really good team?

450
00:21:39,560 --> 00:21:43,760
Speaker 4: The Ravens will certainly be there. Ken Lamar deliver in January,

451
00:21:43,760 --> 00:21:46,399
Speaker 4: that's the big question. So those are my six teams

452
00:21:46,400 --> 00:21:49,160
Speaker 4: that can win the Super Bowl. The Jmax six pack.

453
00:21:49,640 --> 00:21:50,919
Speaker 4: They love this photo and look at the.

454
00:21:50,960 --> 00:21:52,040
Speaker 3: Jets on a dinghy?

455
00:21:52,600 --> 00:21:53,760
Speaker 7: Is that what that is? A dingy?

456
00:21:54,920 --> 00:21:59,200
Speaker 6: An inner tube, entertaine safety tube or whatever. Someone goes overboard,

457
00:21:59,200 --> 00:22:03,040
Speaker 6: you toss it to him, basically over We're a good

458
00:22:03,080 --> 00:22:03,920
Speaker 6: fifteen years now.

470
00:22:31,240 --> 00:22:33,000
Speaker 4: Yeah, let me ask you. What was the summer like?

471
00:22:33,040 --> 00:22:35,080
Speaker 4: I mean you you've been on a hiatus. Did you

472
00:22:35,119 --> 00:22:38,080
Speaker 4: go travel the world? Was you just grinding on football?

473
00:22:38,160 --> 00:22:38,920
Speaker 3: What was going on?

474
00:22:41,400 --> 00:22:44,720
Speaker 7: A lot of golf? A lot of uh, A lot

475
00:22:44,760 --> 00:22:46,280
Speaker 7: of leslie nights.

476
00:22:46,320 --> 00:22:48,840
Speaker 10: I just had a well, not just ad but got

477
00:22:48,840 --> 00:22:53,680
Speaker 10: a six month old now, so it's been a different offseason.

478
00:22:53,720 --> 00:22:57,320
Speaker 10: Definitely not my norm. But I just got into golf.

479
00:22:57,359 --> 00:23:02,400
Speaker 10: So golf's been greats football training and then a lot

480
00:23:02,440 --> 00:23:05,399
Speaker 10: of family time. But we just got had a family vacation,

481
00:23:05,920 --> 00:23:08,919
Speaker 10: so it's really good. But it's been great. Life has

482
00:23:08,960 --> 00:23:09,560
Speaker 10: been really good.

483
00:23:09,760 --> 00:23:12,760
Speaker 4: Real quick on the golf. I find golf a little slow,

484
00:23:12,920 --> 00:23:15,040
Speaker 4: you know. I like to up more up post stuff.

485
00:23:15,280 --> 00:23:18,320
Speaker 4: How do you handle that transition? Football fast and powerful

486
00:23:18,520 --> 00:23:20,679
Speaker 4: and golf is just like taking it easy?

487
00:23:22,600 --> 00:23:22,879
Speaker 7: Yeah.

488
00:23:22,960 --> 00:23:25,639
Speaker 10: I became a member of the country club that doesn't

489
00:23:25,640 --> 00:23:29,159
Speaker 10: have a crazy ton amount of members, so people are

490
00:23:29,160 --> 00:23:32,000
Speaker 10: going too slow. I just leave that hole, go to

491
00:23:32,400 --> 00:23:34,040
Speaker 10: skip around a lot of different holes.

492
00:23:34,040 --> 00:23:36,000
Speaker 7: So I've made it kind of as.

493
00:23:36,160 --> 00:23:38,320
Speaker 10: I don't know if I'm allowed to do that, so honestly,

494
00:23:38,320 --> 00:23:41,479
Speaker 10: I might be telling on myself. But I've made it

495
00:23:41,560 --> 00:23:44,280
Speaker 10: a little bit faster. But that is sometimes the bad

496
00:23:44,320 --> 00:23:45,159
Speaker 10: thing of golf.

497
00:23:44,960 --> 00:23:45,720
Speaker 7: It takes.

498
00:23:45,800 --> 00:23:48,800
Speaker 10: It can take some time do some slower players, and

499
00:23:48,880 --> 00:23:50,480
Speaker 10: I feel like, if you're not you're gonna be a

500
00:23:50,480 --> 00:23:52,000
Speaker 10: slower player. You at least got to be good. And

501
00:23:52,040 --> 00:23:55,320
Speaker 10: most people that are slow are not good. So that

502
00:23:55,400 --> 00:23:56,680
Speaker 10: needs to be a new rule for sure.

503
00:23:56,720 --> 00:23:58,240
Speaker 4: I hope your wife likes it when you say, hey,

504
00:23:58,280 --> 00:24:00,399
Speaker 4: i'll be back in five hours, I'm going to play golf.

505
00:24:01,119 --> 00:24:01,760
Speaker 5: My wife doesn't.

506
00:24:01,800 --> 00:24:04,120
Speaker 3: Anyways. Let's get to the NFL aspect.

507
00:24:04,280 --> 00:24:07,560
Speaker 4: So Pro Football Focus recently ranked the secondaries of the league,

508
00:24:07,560 --> 00:24:09,280
Speaker 4: and you guys are number one.

509
00:24:09,480 --> 00:24:12,440
Speaker 5: A is at a surprise, be obvious.

510
00:24:12,200 --> 00:24:14,640
Speaker 4: And see, you know a lot of defenses these days,

511
00:24:14,640 --> 00:24:17,240
Speaker 4: Marlon are building. Hey, you just need edge rushers, let's

512
00:24:17,280 --> 00:24:20,800
Speaker 4: start there. Cornerback is secondary safety, and linebacker forget it.

513
00:24:20,840 --> 00:24:22,520
Speaker 4: But you guys are kind of built different from the

514
00:24:22,560 --> 00:24:23,080
Speaker 4: back end.

515
00:24:25,240 --> 00:24:26,800
Speaker 7: Yeah, I think for me.

516
00:24:27,240 --> 00:24:31,760
Speaker 10: Honestly, we were thirty second last year, I believe, last

517
00:24:31,760 --> 00:24:34,000
Speaker 10: in the league. So rush of the ranked number one

518
00:24:34,080 --> 00:24:35,960
Speaker 10: does not really mean anything to me.

519
00:24:36,400 --> 00:24:38,920
Speaker 7: I just would love to not be last. I would

520
00:24:38,960 --> 00:24:39,920
Speaker 7: love to be number one.

521
00:24:40,000 --> 00:24:42,879
Speaker 10: That would be amazing, But I'm really focused on what

522
00:24:42,920 --> 00:24:46,000
Speaker 10: we just did last year. We got essentially most of

523
00:24:46,040 --> 00:24:50,320
Speaker 10: the same guys returning, so I would love to finish

524
00:24:50,400 --> 00:24:50,880
Speaker 10: number one.

525
00:24:51,119 --> 00:24:51,800
Speaker 7: That'd be great.

526
00:24:51,880 --> 00:24:55,000
Speaker 10: But I do know right now, the only thing on

527
00:24:55,040 --> 00:24:57,680
Speaker 10: my mind is we were the thirty second ranked and

528
00:24:57,840 --> 00:25:00,720
Speaker 10: that was That's that's not cool, and that's not very good.

529
00:25:00,880 --> 00:25:04,120
Speaker 10: So I'm trying to fix that before we even think

530
00:25:04,119 --> 00:25:04,960
Speaker 10: about being number one.

531
00:25:05,720 --> 00:25:11,960
Speaker 5: Toughest quarterback you faced last season, all the.

532
00:25:12,160 --> 00:25:19,760
Speaker 10: Toughest quarterback I faced last season would probably I.

533
00:25:19,680 --> 00:25:20,760
Speaker 3: Mean, he faced a lot of good ones.

534
00:25:20,760 --> 00:25:21,080
Speaker 7: That's a.

535
00:25:22,800 --> 00:25:25,920
Speaker 10: Oh Joe Burrow, Joe Burrow, I don't even know, Yeah,

536
00:25:26,040 --> 00:25:30,520
Speaker 10: Joe Burrow a surprising second, even though we ended up

537
00:25:30,520 --> 00:25:32,280
Speaker 10: winning that game. But I felt we caught them on

538
00:25:32,320 --> 00:25:36,800
Speaker 10: the earlier end. Jaden Daniels what we caught them pretty

539
00:25:36,800 --> 00:25:40,159
Speaker 10: early on. But I just remember, I'm like man for

540
00:25:40,240 --> 00:25:42,320
Speaker 10: his got to be a rookie. He was just so poised,

541
00:25:42,359 --> 00:25:46,160
Speaker 10: so smooth, seemed like he never was really fazed, honestly,

542
00:25:46,240 --> 00:25:51,119
Speaker 10: so I think from a young young talent perspective, he's

543
00:25:51,320 --> 00:25:52,959
Speaker 10: I mean, he already is a is a star, but

544
00:25:53,080 --> 00:25:54,360
Speaker 10: he was He's pretty good.

545
00:25:54,480 --> 00:25:58,240
Speaker 3: Interesting, So no mention of Josh Allen there. I don't

546
00:25:58,240 --> 00:25:59,680
Speaker 3: know Buffalo fans are going to take that as a

547
00:25:59,720 --> 00:26:00,520
Speaker 3: slight or.

548
00:26:00,480 --> 00:26:03,320
Speaker 5: Did you you know it was Josh Allen easier.

549
00:26:02,960 --> 00:26:03,399
Speaker 3: To prep for.

550
00:26:05,200 --> 00:26:05,240
Speaker 7: No.

551
00:26:05,400 --> 00:26:08,560
Speaker 10: I think they their game well going up their playoff

552
00:26:08,600 --> 00:26:09,040
Speaker 10: game plan.

553
00:26:09,119 --> 00:26:11,400
Speaker 7: It just was a pretty it was a playoff.

554
00:26:11,000 --> 00:26:13,600
Speaker 10: Game plan, I felt, and they didn't really have him

555
00:26:13,640 --> 00:26:15,479
Speaker 10: do anything crazy that they didn't need to do. They

556
00:26:15,520 --> 00:26:17,920
Speaker 10: were I thought their game plan was really good against us,

557
00:26:17,960 --> 00:26:21,080
Speaker 10: and they just kind of kept us on our heels

558
00:26:21,760 --> 00:26:25,680
Speaker 10: and we just couldn't really we currently make good plays

559
00:26:25,680 --> 00:26:26,280
Speaker 10: we needed to make.

560
00:26:26,800 --> 00:26:28,040
Speaker 7: I think you see more.

561
00:26:28,359 --> 00:26:30,040
Speaker 10: I feel like you see a little bit more from

562
00:26:30,040 --> 00:26:32,880
Speaker 10: a quarterback in a bad way of when they score

563
00:26:32,880 --> 00:26:35,719
Speaker 10: a lot of points on you and either you're ahead

564
00:26:35,760 --> 00:26:37,960
Speaker 10: and they're trying to come back, and the quarterbacks really

565
00:26:37,960 --> 00:26:41,080
Speaker 10: got to just full blown carry the team. But Josh

566
00:26:41,160 --> 00:26:44,960
Speaker 10: Allen Bafar managed the game that playoff game and just

567
00:26:45,000 --> 00:26:47,760
Speaker 10: a great way. And obviously they beat us, and you know,

568
00:26:47,760 --> 00:26:49,520
Speaker 10: we played Jalen Hurts, but that was another to me,

569
00:26:49,560 --> 00:26:52,399
Speaker 10: a simple, simpler game plan, and so there was a

570
00:26:52,440 --> 00:26:54,840
Speaker 10: lot of good quarterbacks, but the ones that seemed like,

571
00:26:54,920 --> 00:26:59,119
Speaker 10: you know, this guy's pretty good obviously Joe Burrow and

572
00:26:59,200 --> 00:26:59,680
Speaker 10: they jaded.

573
00:27:00,160 --> 00:27:02,440
Speaker 3: Yeah, let me quickly. You mentioned playoffs, so.

574
00:27:02,400 --> 00:27:03,320
Speaker 5: I'll ask about it. Listen.

575
00:27:03,400 --> 00:27:06,480
Speaker 4: You guys have had some tough endings to the season, obviously,

576
00:27:06,520 --> 00:27:09,200
Speaker 4: you know, the loss in Buffalo was just brutal.

577
00:27:09,840 --> 00:27:11,760
Speaker 3: I'm just curious, what's the mood.

578
00:27:11,600 --> 00:27:13,720
Speaker 4: Like after that, because every season you guys go and

579
00:27:13,760 --> 00:27:16,119
Speaker 4: thinking we got a shot at the super Bowl and

580
00:27:16,160 --> 00:27:18,080
Speaker 4: then to come up short again.

581
00:27:18,840 --> 00:27:20,320
Speaker 5: I don't know what was a vibe like do you

582
00:27:20,359 --> 00:27:21,960
Speaker 5: remember that day? Pretty close?

583
00:27:26,920 --> 00:27:31,600
Speaker 10: It's it's not the best I think it was a

584
00:27:31,640 --> 00:27:35,119
Speaker 10: lot of uncertainty. I felt for myself for some of

585
00:27:35,119 --> 00:27:37,960
Speaker 10: the other guys. Ton't know if you'd they'd be around

586
00:27:38,720 --> 00:27:41,720
Speaker 10: the next year, including myself, And so there's a lot

587
00:27:41,720 --> 00:27:45,880
Speaker 10: of uncertainty. Obviously, you know, teams change every single year.

588
00:27:46,400 --> 00:27:49,320
Speaker 10: Felt that you had a really good roster at the time,

589
00:27:50,080 --> 00:27:51,840
Speaker 10: So yeah, it was just a lot of uncertainty. It

590
00:27:51,880 --> 00:27:54,040
Speaker 10: was a lot of you know, kind of what happened,

591
00:27:54,359 --> 00:27:55,600
Speaker 10: you know, what did we do wrong here?

592
00:27:56,119 --> 00:27:57,320
Speaker 7: But it was definitely.

593
00:27:58,600 --> 00:28:01,320
Speaker 10: You know, obviously every year if you don't win the

594
00:28:01,320 --> 00:28:04,680
Speaker 10: Super Bowl, it's you didn't get the objective. But over

595
00:28:04,720 --> 00:28:06,680
Speaker 10: my past eight years, it was definitely a definitely a

596
00:28:06,680 --> 00:28:10,320
Speaker 10: different feeling of just it was just different, you know.

597
00:28:10,440 --> 00:28:11,879
Speaker 10: I don't know if it was because we felt we

598
00:28:11,880 --> 00:28:13,959
Speaker 10: had a good team or what, But if I had

599
00:28:14,000 --> 00:28:15,400
Speaker 10: to put into words, it would be just a lot

600
00:28:15,400 --> 00:28:16,240
Speaker 10: of uncertainty.

601
00:28:16,320 --> 00:28:16,879
Speaker 3: Yeah.

602
00:28:16,960 --> 00:28:18,919
Speaker 4: I don't know if Lamar is a golfing partner, but

603
00:28:18,960 --> 00:28:21,240
Speaker 4: I'm sure you get this a lot. Hey man, when

604
00:28:21,359 --> 00:28:24,560
Speaker 4: is Lamar gonna carry you guys one day in January?

605
00:28:24,720 --> 00:28:26,720
Speaker 4: And I know it win as a team, loses a team,

606
00:28:26,760 --> 00:28:29,520
Speaker 4: but he has had some playoff games where he hasn't

607
00:28:29,520 --> 00:28:32,439
Speaker 4: been MVP caliber. What do you say to people when

608
00:28:32,480 --> 00:28:34,400
Speaker 4: they when they ask you about or maybe nobody asked

609
00:28:34,400 --> 00:28:34,800
Speaker 4: you about this.

610
00:28:34,840 --> 00:28:39,240
Speaker 3: I don't know, especially I.

611
00:28:40,920 --> 00:28:43,920
Speaker 7: Don't get access too often. I think, I, you know,

612
00:28:43,960 --> 00:28:44,480
Speaker 7: I have the player.

613
00:28:44,520 --> 00:28:47,480
Speaker 10: I don't really see it as a just quarterback only

614
00:28:47,800 --> 00:28:50,520
Speaker 10: type stat I know that's kind of how it is.

615
00:28:50,560 --> 00:28:52,200
Speaker 7: It's all about, you know, the quarterback.

616
00:28:52,520 --> 00:28:54,400
Speaker 10: But I just want to focus on, you know, how

617
00:28:54,400 --> 00:28:57,000
Speaker 10: can we help, how can we play better? How can

618
00:28:57,000 --> 00:28:59,320
Speaker 10: we win the game on defense? There's been a lot

619
00:28:59,360 --> 00:29:03,440
Speaker 10: of past Baltimore Ravens defenses that have you know, led teams.

620
00:29:03,680 --> 00:29:05,680
Speaker 7: All I know is that the biggest status. You know,

621
00:29:05,720 --> 00:29:06,720
Speaker 7: we haven't really had.

622
00:29:07,200 --> 00:29:09,040
Speaker 10: I think we've had one ton over and all of

623
00:29:09,120 --> 00:29:10,400
Speaker 10: Lamar's playoff games.

624
00:29:10,480 --> 00:29:12,920
Speaker 7: So I know it's all about the quarterback.

625
00:29:12,920 --> 00:29:14,680
Speaker 10: But you know, when you look at the numbers, you

626
00:29:14,720 --> 00:29:17,120
Speaker 10: look at the stats, you look at the reality, the

627
00:29:17,120 --> 00:29:19,840
Speaker 10: Baltimore Areas defense hasn't really helped out at all or

628
00:29:19,920 --> 00:29:21,000
Speaker 10: even done their part to.

629
00:29:21,160 --> 00:29:22,360
Speaker 7: Win some of these playoff games.

630
00:29:22,360 --> 00:29:25,200
Speaker 10: And that's kind of the biggest focus on us in

631
00:29:25,240 --> 00:29:27,600
Speaker 10: the defensive room this offseason, and that'll be the focus

632
00:29:27,600 --> 00:29:30,320
Speaker 10: in training camp, practice and it'll translate to games.

633
00:29:30,680 --> 00:29:33,959
Speaker 4: A little inside football. But the JayR Alexander addition, does

634
00:29:34,000 --> 00:29:36,040
Speaker 4: this change anything for you? Do you prefer playing on

635
00:29:36,080 --> 00:29:39,800
Speaker 4: the inside outside? Does it matter or or because the

636
00:29:39,840 --> 00:29:41,480
Speaker 4: secondary is pretty stacked right now.

637
00:29:42,480 --> 00:29:44,560
Speaker 10: Yeah, yeah, it didn't matter to me. I was super

638
00:29:44,640 --> 00:29:47,600
Speaker 10: excited to add him to the to the squad. I

639
00:29:49,120 --> 00:29:51,880
Speaker 10: actually tried to hit him up on Instagram, but he

640
00:29:51,880 --> 00:29:54,400
Speaker 10: deleted his Instagram, so I was like scrambling get his number,

641
00:29:54,640 --> 00:29:56,720
Speaker 10: and then by the time I even could get it,

642
00:29:56,880 --> 00:29:58,560
Speaker 10: I see him in the building and so I'm like,

643
00:29:59,120 --> 00:30:03,400
Speaker 10: all right sweet, and I talked to him, and I'm

644
00:30:03,440 --> 00:30:04,960
Speaker 10: just super excited. We got a lot of great players

645
00:30:04,960 --> 00:30:07,400
Speaker 10: in our second aar of this year. I think the

646
00:30:07,400 --> 00:30:10,480
Speaker 10: way we want to play, who plays where matchups, we

647
00:30:10,560 --> 00:30:12,440
Speaker 10: put all our best guys in the field.

648
00:30:13,360 --> 00:30:14,760
Speaker 7: Yeah, I'm just super excited it.

649
00:30:16,000 --> 00:30:17,920
Speaker 10: I think you just can't go wrong adding a guy

650
00:30:17,960 --> 00:30:20,560
Speaker 10: like that, And so I'm really excited for this year

651
00:30:20,560 --> 00:30:23,240
Speaker 10: secondary and excited us to just make.

652
00:30:23,120 --> 00:30:24,800
Speaker 7: A lot of plays and hopefully he'll he'll help.

653
00:30:25,280 --> 00:30:27,480
Speaker 10: Like I said, with getting those turnovers in the playoffs.

654
00:30:27,520 --> 00:30:29,640
Speaker 10: You've done it before and I look for him doing

655
00:30:29,640 --> 00:30:29,960
Speaker 10: it again.

656
00:30:30,280 --> 00:30:31,280
Speaker 3: Let me quickly ask you.

657
00:30:31,320 --> 00:30:34,120
Speaker 4: I noticed you played in twenty fifteen at Alabama on

658
00:30:34,160 --> 00:30:37,400
Speaker 4: a loaded team with Derrick Henry. Is that the most

659
00:30:37,400 --> 00:30:39,680
Speaker 4: dominant team you've ever been on or was there a

660
00:30:39,800 --> 00:30:41,240
Speaker 4: Ravens team you felt that was more.

661
00:30:41,120 --> 00:30:43,880
Speaker 5: Dominant, Because you guys, I'm looking at the.

662
00:30:43,880 --> 00:30:48,280
Speaker 4: Results twenty fifteen, you guys just eviscerated almost everybody.

663
00:30:49,360 --> 00:30:54,240
Speaker 7: We Yeah, it would be it would be hard.

664
00:30:54,280 --> 00:30:57,680
Speaker 10: I have been on the number one defense in the NFL,

665
00:30:57,840 --> 00:31:02,440
Speaker 10: but that that that Alabama team was just next level.

666
00:31:02,560 --> 00:31:06,000
Speaker 10: I think everyone on the starters ended up getting drafted

667
00:31:06,040 --> 00:31:09,680
Speaker 10: into the NFL. You're freaking giving it ball with Derek

668
00:31:09,720 --> 00:31:10,680
Speaker 10: Henry forty times the game.

669
00:31:10,760 --> 00:31:14,080
Speaker 7: Nobody could stop it. So there was there was, it was.

670
00:31:14,200 --> 00:31:17,040
Speaker 10: It was honestly pretty crazy to look back on that team,

671
00:31:17,160 --> 00:31:19,360
Speaker 10: and you know, obviously the next year we end up

672
00:31:19,360 --> 00:31:22,280
Speaker 10: losing a Clemson, but it would have been great to repeat.

673
00:31:22,280 --> 00:31:24,120
Speaker 7: But that that that's the fifteen team.

674
00:31:24,200 --> 00:31:27,640
Speaker 10: It was just it was just loaded and I don't

675
00:31:27,880 --> 00:31:30,440
Speaker 10: I don't know if there were that domination is can

676
00:31:30,480 --> 00:31:32,200
Speaker 10: only be done really at the college level.

677
00:31:32,320 --> 00:31:34,240
Speaker 7: But that was. That was a great year.

678
00:31:34,320 --> 00:31:36,600
Speaker 5: Yeah, all right, we could wrap up. You got a movie,

679
00:31:36,720 --> 00:31:40,280
Speaker 5: Nothing but a Winner. It's a documentary, tell us about

680
00:31:40,320 --> 00:31:41,800
Speaker 5: it being part of the process.

681
00:31:42,040 --> 00:31:46,440
Speaker 3: What's that been like and any comparisons to football.

682
00:31:46,640 --> 00:31:47,480
Speaker 7: Yeah, so it was great.

683
00:31:47,520 --> 00:31:50,520
Speaker 10: I executive produced Nothing but a Winner, me and my sister,

684
00:31:50,680 --> 00:31:53,840
Speaker 10: she's the actress in LA. It was a great opportunity

685
00:31:53,920 --> 00:31:56,040
Speaker 10: that got presented to me and I was able to

686
00:31:56,040 --> 00:31:58,800
Speaker 10: be a part of it, kind of have inputs here

687
00:31:58,800 --> 00:32:02,600
Speaker 10: and there and different things. Basically just about you know

688
00:32:02,640 --> 00:32:06,000
Speaker 10: the history of two great coaches at happened to be

689
00:32:06,000 --> 00:32:08,760
Speaker 10: at the Universe Alabama. Some of the wins, some of

690
00:32:08,760 --> 00:32:11,719
Speaker 10: the you know, ugly losses, the kick six for Harvard

691
00:32:11,760 --> 00:32:12,480
Speaker 10: fans out there.

692
00:32:12,760 --> 00:32:15,800
Speaker 7: Tune intc they had and you know kind.

693
00:32:15,600 --> 00:32:18,400
Speaker 10: Of how Bama came up part to be, you know,

694
00:32:18,520 --> 00:32:23,040
Speaker 10: with segregation and different things first, you know, athlete African

695
00:32:23,040 --> 00:32:26,040
Speaker 10: American athlete at the university, So a lot of different

696
00:32:26,040 --> 00:32:27,080
Speaker 10: things going on with it.

697
00:32:27,200 --> 00:32:29,200
Speaker 7: But it's just just basically a.

698
00:32:30,920 --> 00:32:34,760
Speaker 10: Documentary about just greatness, how it form, the process of it,

699
00:32:35,200 --> 00:32:37,160
Speaker 10: all the great things that kind of is in the

700
00:32:37,240 --> 00:32:41,080
Speaker 10: rich history of Alabama football and just winning coaches. That's

701
00:32:41,120 --> 00:32:43,520
Speaker 10: the biggest thing is you can take away with your

702
00:32:43,560 --> 00:32:47,720
Speaker 10: Alabama fan, not Alabama fan. It's just really a documentary

703
00:32:47,760 --> 00:32:50,640
Speaker 10: about just something great and it'll be out soon and

704
00:32:50,720 --> 00:32:52,000
Speaker 10: it'll be it'll be really good.

705
00:32:52,080 --> 00:32:54,440
Speaker 5: Yeah, it sounds like July thirty first in theaters.

706
00:32:54,440 --> 00:32:55,720
Speaker 3: Congrats on that. I'm curious.

707
00:32:56,240 --> 00:32:58,600
Speaker 4: A lot of people look to set themselves up for

708
00:32:58,680 --> 00:33:01,240
Speaker 4: a post career. You just turned twenty nine, so you

709
00:33:01,280 --> 00:33:04,320
Speaker 4: got a ways to go. But is Hollywood where you want.

710
00:33:04,160 --> 00:33:05,000
Speaker 3: To go next?

711
00:33:05,080 --> 00:33:06,960
Speaker 5: Or you know a lot of guys transition to the media,

712
00:33:07,360 --> 00:33:09,520
Speaker 5: or you could you know, do what Cam Newton's doing

713
00:33:09,560 --> 00:33:12,560
Speaker 5: and just start a podcast and trying to go rebel

714
00:33:12,640 --> 00:33:14,560
Speaker 5: rouse that way, What do you think a post career.

715
00:33:16,600 --> 00:33:17,720
Speaker 7: I've had a lot of different thoughts.

716
00:33:17,800 --> 00:33:21,880
Speaker 10: Media was one, you know, Hollywood would be would be

717
00:33:21,920 --> 00:33:25,000
Speaker 10: awesome if I if I chose that route. There's you

718
00:33:25,040 --> 00:33:27,400
Speaker 10: know that that's something I kind of think about. You know,

719
00:33:27,440 --> 00:33:29,560
Speaker 10: obviously you do football for a long time and you're

720
00:33:29,680 --> 00:33:31,120
Speaker 10: you kind of figure out what do you want to

721
00:33:31,120 --> 00:33:32,480
Speaker 10: do after There's so.

722
00:33:32,400 --> 00:33:33,440
Speaker 7: Many different ways you can go.

723
00:33:33,520 --> 00:33:35,880
Speaker 10: But I would love to, you know, I always wanted

724
00:33:35,880 --> 00:33:37,920
Speaker 10: to direct a movie. I always wanted to play in

725
00:33:37,920 --> 00:33:40,280
Speaker 10: a movie. So I've always wanted to do something around

726
00:33:40,280 --> 00:33:42,880
Speaker 10: that space. Maybe not full time. But the cool thing

727
00:33:42,880 --> 00:33:45,240
Speaker 10: about all that is that's something you can do and

728
00:33:45,440 --> 00:33:49,239
Speaker 10: do something else. But media, Hollywood, all those things are

729
00:33:49,280 --> 00:33:51,800
Speaker 10: kind of things that interest me. And just we'll just

730
00:33:51,840 --> 00:33:54,080
Speaker 10: have to see when what happens when I when I

731
00:33:54,120 --> 00:33:56,720
Speaker 10: retire with the wife says, you know, she'll so I

732
00:33:56,720 --> 00:33:59,480
Speaker 10: always have a big part in that. I wish I

733
00:33:59,480 --> 00:34:01,720
Speaker 10: could be a prob. If I could do that, I

734
00:34:01,760 --> 00:34:04,160
Speaker 10: would that would be the biggest one. But think I

735
00:34:04,200 --> 00:34:06,360
Speaker 10: missed too many reps when I was six, seven, eight

736
00:34:06,440 --> 00:34:06,960
Speaker 10: years old.

737
00:34:07,320 --> 00:34:09,040
Speaker 7: You can't get back, and so.

738
00:34:09,640 --> 00:34:11,720
Speaker 10: The best I could do now was maybe break eighty

739
00:34:11,800 --> 00:34:14,520
Speaker 10: one day of my life, and I'll consider that must

740
00:34:14,520 --> 00:34:14,919
Speaker 10: super Bowl.

741
00:34:14,960 --> 00:34:16,880
Speaker 4: Hey, let me ask one more things. I just was

742
00:34:16,920 --> 00:34:19,240
Speaker 4: watching those highlights and I thought about something. So, Travis

743
00:34:19,320 --> 00:34:21,719
Speaker 4: Hunter is coming into the league as an elite cornerback

744
00:34:21,920 --> 00:34:24,399
Speaker 4: and wants to play both ways. I'm assuming in high

745
00:34:24,440 --> 00:34:27,240
Speaker 4: school you were playing both ways and dominating. But Marlin,

746
00:34:27,320 --> 00:34:27,839
Speaker 4: my big thing.

747
00:34:27,880 --> 00:34:28,520
Speaker 5: The second he.

748
00:34:28,480 --> 00:34:30,200
Speaker 3: Said this, I was like, Okay, so you.

749
00:34:30,160 --> 00:34:32,040
Speaker 4: Got to play the Ravens, So you got to go

750
00:34:32,239 --> 00:34:36,240
Speaker 4: tackle Derreck, Henry and Space, then go to the sideline

751
00:34:36,280 --> 00:34:37,960
Speaker 4: and come back on and run a bunch of pass pack.

752
00:34:38,000 --> 00:34:40,080
Speaker 3: That's impossible. How on earth is he going to be

753
00:34:40,080 --> 00:34:42,120
Speaker 3: able to do this? And I'm just curious your thoughts

754
00:34:42,160 --> 00:34:44,000
Speaker 3: on did you play two ways in high school?

755
00:34:44,040 --> 00:34:44,759
Speaker 7: And? Yeah?

756
00:34:45,000 --> 00:34:46,799
Speaker 5: Is this mission impossible for Travis Hunter?

757
00:34:48,920 --> 00:34:52,600
Speaker 7: I think, you know, he is very talented. I think

758
00:34:52,640 --> 00:34:54,320
Speaker 7: he's me watching.

759
00:34:54,360 --> 00:34:57,160
Speaker 10: I think he's a really really elite dB based off

760
00:34:57,160 --> 00:34:59,160
Speaker 10: the you know, a couple of games I saw this

761
00:34:59,600 --> 00:35:00,279
Speaker 10: past year.

762
00:35:00,719 --> 00:35:04,439
Speaker 7: But to do both it seems very mission impossible esque.

763
00:35:04,560 --> 00:35:04,759
Speaker 7: You know.

764
00:35:04,880 --> 00:35:08,040
Speaker 10: I think Dion obviously did a little bit of it,

765
00:35:08,120 --> 00:35:09,520
Speaker 10: you know, back in his day, but I just think

766
00:35:09,560 --> 00:35:13,400
Speaker 10: the game has changed so much since then. Dion was

767
00:35:13,880 --> 00:35:17,120
Speaker 10: clearly light and day the fastest guy out there. Nowadays,

768
00:35:17,120 --> 00:35:20,400
Speaker 10: everybody's fast, you know. I think of Jason Kelsey, that

769
00:35:20,480 --> 00:35:24,000
Speaker 10: dude's running up on you just as fastest as that

770
00:35:24,520 --> 00:35:28,799
Speaker 10: receiver tight end. So I think he's really got a

771
00:35:28,880 --> 00:35:32,799
Speaker 10: tough challenge ahead. I think eventually he will realize, Man,

772
00:35:32,840 --> 00:35:35,319
Speaker 10: it's really really hard to do this at a high

773
00:35:35,400 --> 00:35:36,760
Speaker 10: level where every week you're.

774
00:35:36,640 --> 00:35:38,759
Speaker 7: Playing a top NFL team.

775
00:35:38,760 --> 00:35:41,240
Speaker 10: It's not like college where you know, there is teams

776
00:35:41,239 --> 00:35:43,960
Speaker 10: on everyone's roster where it's like this should be a

777
00:35:44,040 --> 00:35:47,239
Speaker 10: pretty easy game, and that's just not the case in

778
00:35:47,280 --> 00:35:52,440
Speaker 10: the NFL. And I think he'll I hope he has

779
00:35:52,440 --> 00:35:55,000
Speaker 10: success with it, and I hope he just decides it's

780
00:35:55,080 --> 00:35:57,279
Speaker 10: just too much for me as opposed to you know,

781
00:35:57,680 --> 00:36:00,359
Speaker 10: he kind of struggles with it. But I I think

782
00:36:00,360 --> 00:36:02,040
Speaker 10: he has the ability to do it, but I more

783
00:36:02,120 --> 00:36:03,920
Speaker 10: just think the stamina to do it.

784
00:36:03,960 --> 00:36:05,279
Speaker 7: I don't know if anyone has that to do it

785
00:36:05,320 --> 00:36:06,520
Speaker 7: for season.

786
00:36:06,680 --> 00:36:09,280
Speaker 4: You played with Dereck Henry in college. Now he's your teammate.

787
00:36:09,440 --> 00:36:11,560
Speaker 4: Have you I'm just curious, have you ever tackled him?

788
00:36:11,800 --> 00:36:12,680
Speaker 3: What? What the hell is that?

789
00:36:12,840 --> 00:36:16,759
Speaker 7: Like, the problem is he's so tall.

790
00:36:16,760 --> 00:36:20,240
Speaker 10: A lot of times you go low, he his knee

791
00:36:20,280 --> 00:36:23,359
Speaker 10: will actually hits your head, and it's it's a lot.

792
00:36:23,640 --> 00:36:25,400
Speaker 7: He's this stuff, got to tackle.

793
00:36:25,480 --> 00:36:29,080
Speaker 10: He's somehow, I don't know how, he gets stronger and

794
00:36:29,120 --> 00:36:31,239
Speaker 10: faster in the fourth quarter while everyone else seems to

795
00:36:31,239 --> 00:36:33,640
Speaker 10: be fatiguing, And I think that gives him a lot

796
00:36:33,680 --> 00:36:36,879
Speaker 10: of his advantage. But his exception speed. He's so tall,

797
00:36:36,920 --> 00:36:38,919
Speaker 10: he's getting on the edge faster than what you think.

798
00:36:38,960 --> 00:36:42,080
Speaker 10: And if you if you don't go now, it's it's bad.

799
00:36:42,120 --> 00:36:44,920
Speaker 10: And his stiff armed will throw you around. But it's rough.

800
00:36:45,360 --> 00:36:48,080
Speaker 10: It's something at the corner you think, I shouldn't be

801
00:36:48,160 --> 00:36:49,840
Speaker 10: doing this. I don't want to do this. The linebacker

802
00:36:49,840 --> 00:36:51,759
Speaker 10: Delan should be doing this. But when you do, gotta

803
00:36:51,800 --> 00:36:54,000
Speaker 10: do it, you gotta. You gotta run your feet trying

804
00:36:54,000 --> 00:36:55,799
Speaker 10: to close your eyes and try to get him down.

805
00:36:56,040 --> 00:36:58,800
Speaker 4: Yeah, good stuff, Marlon Humphrey, check out is moving nothing

806
00:36:58,800 --> 00:37:01,440
Speaker 4: but a winner. End of this month in theater's congrats

807
00:37:01,480 --> 00:37:03,160

808
00:37:03,600 --> 00:37:05,680
Speaker 7: Yes, yes, thank you so much.

809
00:37:05,800 --> 00:37:08,920
Speaker 3: All right, Marlon Humphrey, who's a budding golfer who.

810
00:37:08,800 --> 00:37:11,960
Speaker 4: Knew I had no idea, but I hope Travis Houhner

811
00:37:12,040 --> 00:37:12,440
Speaker 4: was listening.

812
00:37:12,440 --> 00:37:12,640
Speaker 5: Did you.

813
00:37:12,680 --> 00:37:14,520
Speaker 3: I mean, did you hear did you see the reaction?

814
00:37:14,560 --> 00:37:14,799
Speaker 5: Alex?

815
00:37:14,840 --> 00:37:16,680
Speaker 3: He almost start of laughing. He's like, yeah, that's mischiev

816
00:37:16,760 --> 00:37:18,439
Speaker 3: It's hard. I mean again, like.

817
00:37:18,360 --> 00:37:22,360
Speaker 6: You, you never wanted to ter someone from reaching a

818
00:37:22,440 --> 00:37:24,120
Speaker 6: crazy goal that we've never seen before.

819
00:37:24,160 --> 00:37:25,000
Speaker 5: I mean, people left to show.

820
00:37:25,000 --> 00:37:26,600
Speaker 6: Hey Otani when he said he was going to be

821
00:37:27,080 --> 00:37:30,439
Speaker 6: a power hitter and an ace pitcher. Obviously it's way

822
00:37:30,480 --> 00:37:33,080
Speaker 6: different on your body baseball compared to football.

823
00:37:33,880 --> 00:37:36,920
Speaker 3: But again, don't knock it until until you try it.

824
00:37:36,360 --> 00:37:40,360
Speaker 6: I think that's kind of most players reactions are going

825
00:37:40,440 --> 00:37:44,480
Speaker 6: to be what Marlin's reaction was. But again he's very impressed.

826
00:37:44,600 --> 00:37:48,800
Speaker 6: Producer Golfer like like that was a good interview

827
00:37:48,880 --> 00:37:50,279
Speaker 3: Yeah, Jarland Humphrey fun
