I could play all night. I love 26 00:01:26,440 --> 00:01:28,880 Speaker 1: everything about it. It is one of my absolute guilty 27 00:01:28,880 --> 00:01:33,320 Speaker 1: pleasures away from the field, which isn't great because I 28 00:01:33,440 --> 00:01:35,560 Speaker 1: end up losing a lot of times. We don't even 29 00:01:35,560 --> 00:01:37,400 Speaker 1: want to talk about my performance of the greenbro I bought. 30 00:01:37,400 --> 00:01:39,000 Speaker 1: I did make up for it on our trip to 31 00:01:39,000 --> 00:01:42,000 Speaker 1: New Orleans last summer, so I lost a little bit 32 00:01:42,040 --> 00:01:43,920 Speaker 1: to greenbro. I won a little bit in New Orleans. 33 00:01:44,040 --> 00:01:48,960 Speaker 1: I love playing blackjack, and my intro to it was 34 00:01:48,960 --> 00:01:51,360 Speaker 1: in Las Vegas two thousand and eight January two thousand eight, 35 00:01:51,400 --> 00:01:53,280 Speaker 1: therefore the Super Bowl. Do some radio shows out there, 36 00:01:53,520 --> 00:01:56,400 Speaker 1: and I started playing blackjack and about eight thirty local time, 37 00:01:56,760 --> 00:02:00,400 Speaker 1: and I finished at about four thirty am low time, 38 00:02:00,480 --> 00:02:03,240 Speaker 1: eight straight hours playing blackjack switch which you've never played. 39 00:02:03,280 --> 00:02:06,160 Speaker 1: It's crazy. And I did that out at Tooma Fertita's 40 00:02:06,160 --> 00:02:08,799 Speaker 1: Gold Nugget out in Las Vegas. So guilty pleasure for 41 00:02:08,919 --> 00:02:12,639 Speaker 1: me blackjack, Just love it, could play it all day, 42 00:02:12,720 --> 00:02:16,000 Speaker 1: now we're gonna turn it into football Guilty Pleasures. What 43 00:02:16,040 --> 00:02:18,680 Speaker 1: are some of the things that you love that you 44 00:02:19,040 --> 00:02:21,320 Speaker 1: want you could watch over and over and over again, 45 00:02:21,320 --> 00:02:23,520 Speaker 1: you could listen to, you could wear, you could eat, 46 00:02:24,120 --> 00:02:27,680 Speaker 1: any of those any of those things are involved TPC, 47 00:02:28,040 --> 00:02:32,040 Speaker 1: Drew Doherty and myself the Football Guilty Pleasures Draft. We'll 48 00:02:32,040 --> 00:02:34,160 Speaker 1: also go round the NFL because there's a lot going 49 00:02:34,280 --> 00:02:39,800 Speaker 1: on from especially the owners meetings the last few days 50 00:02:40,160 --> 00:02:42,440 Speaker 1: down in Orlando, and a lot of them to do 51 00:02:42,480 --> 00:02:44,480 Speaker 1: with rule changes. But we'll get into that a little 52 00:02:44,680 --> 00:02:47,960 Speaker 1: later in the show. So talk about Odell Beckham and 53 00:02:48,040 --> 00:02:49,919 Speaker 1: what's happening with him, So we'll get into that later 54 00:02:49,919 --> 00:02:54,079 Speaker 1: in the show. But coach O'Brien met with the media 55 00:02:54,160 --> 00:02:59,000 Speaker 1: on Tuesday morning Breakfast with the Coaches. I would like 56 00:02:59,040 --> 00:03:00,519 Speaker 1: to go to the owners meetings just because I would 57 00:03:00,520 --> 00:03:01,959 Speaker 1: love to see all the coaches in the same room. 58 00:03:02,040 --> 00:03:05,080 Speaker 1: The combine. You see them periodically. You know they'll come 59 00:03:05,160 --> 00:03:07,320 Speaker 1: up to the podium at certain times, but they're not 60 00:03:07,400 --> 00:03:10,400 Speaker 1: all in the same place at once, which I would 61 00:03:10,400 --> 00:03:14,359 Speaker 1: find fascinating because we could the opportunity to check coach 62 00:03:14,440 --> 00:03:16,160 Speaker 1: Brian anytime. I would love to just go around and 63 00:03:16,160 --> 00:03:18,720 Speaker 1: listen to all the different coaches, especially I think they 64 00:03:18,760 --> 00:03:21,400 Speaker 1: do AFC and then NFC, But even if it's just 65 00:03:22,440 --> 00:03:24,919 Speaker 1: one conferences coaches and then the other would I would 66 00:03:24,960 --> 00:03:26,519 Speaker 1: love it. I think it would be fantastic. And I 67 00:03:26,560 --> 00:03:28,920 Speaker 1: think that's one of the cool things about the owner's 68 00:03:29,000 --> 00:03:32,040 Speaker 1: meetings and coach O'Brian hit on a number of different topics, 69 00:03:33,240 --> 00:03:36,440 Speaker 1: a lot of injuries right off the bat, but let's 70 00:03:36,480 --> 00:03:41,760 Speaker 1: start with the honey Badger. Tyron matthew signs with the Texans. 71 00:03:41,800 --> 00:03:44,480 Speaker 1: This is the first opportunity for coach O'Brien to speak 72 00:03:44,480 --> 00:03:48,160 Speaker 1: publicly about what he liked about Tyron Matthew. Well, we 73 00:03:48,200 --> 00:03:53,240 Speaker 1: started talking to him. What stood out to me was 74 00:03:53,280 --> 00:03:56,520 Speaker 1: his football intelligence in all the different ways that he 75 00:03:56,560 --> 00:03:58,800 Speaker 1: was used in Arizona. You know, he's obviously his safety. 76 00:03:59,240 --> 00:04:01,320 Speaker 1: He was a nickel, he played, played a little bit 77 00:04:01,320 --> 00:04:03,600 Speaker 1: of corner. I mean, it's a very versaly. He's a 78 00:04:03,600 --> 00:04:05,880 Speaker 1: really good blitzer, good ball skills. I think he has 79 00:04:05,880 --> 00:04:09,040 Speaker 1: eleven or twelve interceptions. Ball hawk, you know, trying to 80 00:04:09,040 --> 00:04:10,960 Speaker 1: punch the ball out and that's what I like about him. 81 00:04:11,000 --> 00:04:14,480 Speaker 1: He makes plays on the football, That's what I like 82 00:04:14,480 --> 00:04:17,880 Speaker 1: about him. He's any but The big thing that stood 83 00:04:17,880 --> 00:04:20,119 Speaker 1: out to me was his passion and love for the game. 84 00:04:20,160 --> 00:04:22,320 Speaker 1: I mean, all he wanted to do was talk about football, 85 00:04:22,440 --> 00:04:25,440 Speaker 1: and you know how he was used in Arizona and 86 00:04:26,680 --> 00:04:29,680 Speaker 1: how he sees our defense, and so I was I 87 00:04:29,800 --> 00:04:32,520 Speaker 1: was just very impressed with him, having not really known him, 88 00:04:34,040 --> 00:04:37,400 Speaker 1: just you know, I've just seen him on film, but 89 00:04:37,720 --> 00:04:39,480 Speaker 1: getting to know him, and then when he came here, 90 00:04:40,240 --> 00:04:43,400 Speaker 1: sitting down having some meetings with him, this guy is 91 00:04:43,440 --> 00:04:45,320 Speaker 1: gonna be a real good guy in our locker room. 92 00:04:46,720 --> 00:04:48,600 Speaker 1: Some of our players know him real well and they're 93 00:04:48,600 --> 00:04:52,520 Speaker 1: looking forward to playing with him, knowing ob knowing football coaches, 94 00:04:52,560 --> 00:04:54,960 Speaker 1: knowing him myself. If you got a player that comes 95 00:04:54,960 --> 00:04:57,440 Speaker 1: in and just all he wants to do is talk ball, 96 00:04:58,040 --> 00:04:59,440 Speaker 1: That's all he wants to talk about. He wants to 97 00:04:59,440 --> 00:05:00,920 Speaker 1: talk about fo I wants to talk about the team. 98 00:05:01,000 --> 00:05:03,200 Speaker 1: Let's talk about players on the team, and that's all 99 00:05:03,240 --> 00:05:05,600 Speaker 1: he wants to talk about. That's what's important to him. 100 00:05:05,720 --> 00:05:09,480 Speaker 1: You will win over every single coach, every single person. 101 00:05:09,800 --> 00:05:12,760 Speaker 1: You will win me over. And that I think is 102 00:05:12,760 --> 00:05:15,479 Speaker 1: the kind of player that Tyron Matthew is. But I 103 00:05:15,520 --> 00:05:18,159 Speaker 1: love the fact that he talked about his impact in 104 00:05:18,160 --> 00:05:23,279 Speaker 1: the locker room too twenty five years old. Yet because 105 00:05:23,320 --> 00:05:26,279 Speaker 1: of the Honey Badger Moniker, because of what he did 106 00:05:26,320 --> 00:05:28,600 Speaker 1: in college, because of what he did the first few 107 00:05:28,680 --> 00:05:33,799 Speaker 1: years in the NFL, he is highly respected and highly 108 00:05:33,839 --> 00:05:36,960 Speaker 1: thought of and that gets me really excited about what 109 00:05:37,000 --> 00:05:40,920 Speaker 1: he can do in twenty eighteen for this team, this organization, 110 00:05:41,160 --> 00:05:45,560 Speaker 1: and this city Now. Coach was also asked about quarterback 111 00:05:45,720 --> 00:05:49,680 Speaker 1: the Shaun Watson. Where is he in his rehab process? 112 00:05:49,760 --> 00:05:51,800 Speaker 1: And when you know how coaches with injuries and I do, 113 00:05:51,839 --> 00:05:54,640 Speaker 1: I'll blame him any I don't know if you get 114 00:05:54,680 --> 00:06:00,360 Speaker 1: any competitive disadvantage by giving information up, but who wanted 115 00:06:00,400 --> 00:06:02,960 Speaker 1: to know? So they asked where is the Shawn in 116 00:06:03,040 --> 00:06:05,719 Speaker 1: his rehab? Will we be able to see him during 117 00:06:05,839 --> 00:06:09,880 Speaker 1: OTAs Deshaan I would say, is a head of schedule, 118 00:06:10,400 --> 00:06:12,560 Speaker 1: but there's still a lot of work to put in John, 119 00:06:12,600 --> 00:06:17,160 Speaker 1: you know what I mean. Like so, he he's unfortunately 120 00:06:17,400 --> 00:06:20,880 Speaker 1: but also fortunately he hurt the other knee in college, 121 00:06:21,279 --> 00:06:26,080 Speaker 1: so he understands the rehab process, so he really understood. 122 00:06:26,120 --> 00:06:29,920 Speaker 1: He has a great idea of how he feels how 123 00:06:30,000 --> 00:06:32,280 Speaker 1: his knee feels because he's been through it before. He 124 00:06:32,320 --> 00:06:35,040 Speaker 1: knows the stages that he needs to get to to 125 00:06:35,040 --> 00:06:38,680 Speaker 1: be able to get back on the field. And you know, 126 00:06:38,960 --> 00:06:41,320 Speaker 1: I'm not going to give away exactly where he is 127 00:06:41,400 --> 00:06:43,839 Speaker 1: right now, but I think he's definitely ahead of schedule 128 00:06:43,839 --> 00:06:47,480 Speaker 1: and hopefully he can do. Everybody's asking me what can 129 00:06:47,520 --> 00:06:49,160 Speaker 1: he do during the spring, Well, we don't know yet. 130 00:06:49,200 --> 00:06:51,400 Speaker 1: You know, we don't know that yet because the springs 131 00:06:51,400 --> 00:06:53,360 Speaker 1: a nine week program. The first two weeks of the 132 00:06:53,440 --> 00:06:57,560 Speaker 1: nine week program it's strength and conditioning and meetings. Then 133 00:06:57,600 --> 00:06:59,480 Speaker 1: the next three weeks is a little bit of field 134 00:07:00,080 --> 00:07:02,080 Speaker 1: work but not much more than the first two weeks, 135 00:07:02,080 --> 00:07:06,920 Speaker 1: and then the last four weeks is you know, basically 136 00:07:06,960 --> 00:07:10,000 Speaker 1: practice without pads. So we'll see where he's at at 137 00:07:10,040 --> 00:07:12,600 Speaker 1: that point. One of the things that Coach hit on 138 00:07:13,360 --> 00:07:17,400 Speaker 1: after giving an update on Deshaun was the fact that 139 00:07:17,560 --> 00:07:19,720 Speaker 1: twenty seventeen's got to be in the rearview mirror. And 140 00:07:19,720 --> 00:07:22,600 Speaker 1: I've said this a few times in talking about this. 141 00:07:22,600 --> 00:07:28,320 Speaker 1: This is one thing about expectations. The expectations for Deshaun 142 00:07:28,400 --> 00:07:30,960 Speaker 1: in particular have risen because of what he showed in 143 00:07:31,000 --> 00:07:33,800 Speaker 1: those six games, but twenty seventeen's got to be in 144 00:07:33,800 --> 00:07:36,160 Speaker 1: the rearview mirror. And Coach talked about what's going to 145 00:07:36,240 --> 00:07:40,240 Speaker 1: be important for his now second year quarterback coming back 146 00:07:40,280 --> 00:07:43,120 Speaker 1: into the building on April sixteenth, four conditioning what is 147 00:07:43,160 --> 00:07:46,280 Speaker 1: important for him starting that day, going all the way 148 00:07:46,280 --> 00:07:49,160 Speaker 1: obviously through the twenty eighteen season. Yeah, this is something 149 00:07:49,240 --> 00:07:51,760 Speaker 1: where we all have to get beyond last year. Last 150 00:07:51,840 --> 00:07:54,760 Speaker 1: year is over for all of us. Twenty seventeen is over, 151 00:07:55,640 --> 00:08:02,000 Speaker 1: and he has to when we start again on a sixteenth, 152 00:08:01,840 --> 00:08:03,600 Speaker 1: h he has to start from scratch. You know, he's 153 00:08:03,640 --> 00:08:05,800 Speaker 1: got to go right back to the basics of the offense, 154 00:08:06,000 --> 00:08:09,840 Speaker 1: the you know, his own fundamentals as much as he 155 00:08:09,840 --> 00:08:12,880 Speaker 1: can work on that, and we have to. We have 156 00:08:12,920 --> 00:08:17,160 Speaker 1: to build it up again because it was six games. 157 00:08:17,200 --> 00:08:20,840 Speaker 1: It was only you know that obviously sixteen game season. 158 00:08:20,920 --> 00:08:25,200 Speaker 1: That's not even half the season, which is a good 159 00:08:25,200 --> 00:08:29,160 Speaker 1: thing in some ways, but in some ways it's also where, Okay, look, 160 00:08:29,200 --> 00:08:32,080 Speaker 1: that was great, but like all these teams, especially in 161 00:08:32,120 --> 00:08:36,000 Speaker 1: our division, have watched all those plays, you know, they're 162 00:08:36,040 --> 00:08:38,160 Speaker 1: they're studying those things, and we have to start from 163 00:08:38,200 --> 00:08:41,600 Speaker 1: scratch and start building a new offense. Our offense is 164 00:08:41,600 --> 00:08:45,320 Speaker 1: totally different now than what it was, and we we 165 00:08:45,320 --> 00:08:48,160 Speaker 1: we've really worked hard this offseason too, and we're still 166 00:08:48,160 --> 00:08:50,240 Speaker 1: working on it. It's not really done yet, but um 167 00:08:51,480 --> 00:08:55,640 Speaker 1: so we all have to start from scratch. Injuries obviously, 168 00:08:56,240 --> 00:09:02,480 Speaker 1: the unfortunate story of twenty seventeen and the show watching 169 00:09:02,600 --> 00:09:08,760 Speaker 1: a rookie, another rookie that people have been asking plenty 170 00:09:08,800 --> 00:09:11,800 Speaker 1: about of us, and finally getting a chance to ask 171 00:09:11,800 --> 00:09:15,000 Speaker 1: coach O'Brien this Deante Foreman the Achilles injury that he 172 00:09:15,080 --> 00:09:19,000 Speaker 1: suffered against the Arizona Cardinals after a long touchdown run. 173 00:09:19,080 --> 00:09:22,080 Speaker 1: Unfortunate and a tough injury to come back. A coach 174 00:09:22,120 --> 00:09:25,800 Speaker 1: gave an update on the former Texas City Stingery and 175 00:09:25,920 --> 00:09:30,199 Speaker 1: Texas Longhorn star Deonte Foreman progressing. Well, he's been in 176 00:09:30,240 --> 00:09:34,880 Speaker 1: there every day working hard. You know, it's a it's 177 00:09:34,880 --> 00:09:39,920 Speaker 1: a tough injury for a young running back. But he's 178 00:09:40,040 --> 00:09:42,720 Speaker 1: been working very hard and so I think he'll he'll 179 00:09:42,760 --> 00:09:44,959 Speaker 1: be on schedule to I don't think he'll be able 180 00:09:45,000 --> 00:09:48,199 Speaker 1: to do much on the field in the spring, but 181 00:09:48,480 --> 00:09:50,400 Speaker 1: I think he'll be ready for training camp. Would you 182 00:09:50,440 --> 00:09:53,080 Speaker 1: like to see him take on more work? You know, 183 00:09:53,120 --> 00:09:55,199 Speaker 1: I think he was training in that direction. I think, 184 00:09:55,240 --> 00:09:57,000 Speaker 1: just like everybody else, he's got to earn that. But 185 00:09:59,280 --> 00:10:03,080 Speaker 1: but he showed a lot of promise last year before 186 00:10:03,120 --> 00:10:04,360 Speaker 1: he got hurt. I mean he got hurt on a 187 00:10:04,520 --> 00:10:09,640 Speaker 1: fifty yard touchdown run right. And you know, I really 188 00:10:09,640 --> 00:10:11,320 Speaker 1: like the way he plays the game. I like the 189 00:10:11,360 --> 00:10:13,520 Speaker 1: physical aspect he brings to the game. I like a 190 00:10:13,559 --> 00:10:15,920 Speaker 1: lot of what he does. So now I don't know 191 00:10:16,040 --> 00:10:19,880 Speaker 1: who the person was asking the question, but in between 192 00:10:19,920 --> 00:10:22,840 Speaker 1: there you can hear you expect him to carry more 193 00:10:22,840 --> 00:10:27,760 Speaker 1: work the workload, And essentially the question came up, you 194 00:10:27,800 --> 00:10:29,240 Speaker 1: see him as a starter, And I said this to 195 00:10:29,280 --> 00:10:32,360 Speaker 1: many people. I don't. I don't worry about who starts, 196 00:10:32,440 --> 00:10:35,840 Speaker 1: and never worry about who starts. That makes no difference 197 00:10:35,880 --> 00:10:38,480 Speaker 1: to me. And if you ask the player and said, look, 198 00:10:38,640 --> 00:10:41,280 Speaker 1: you can start, but you're only going to play twenty plays, 199 00:10:41,880 --> 00:10:44,600 Speaker 1: or you can be the quote unquote backup, and I 200 00:10:44,640 --> 00:10:47,240 Speaker 1: said in air quotes and not start, but you'll play 201 00:10:47,280 --> 00:10:49,800 Speaker 1: sixty plays a game. Which do you want? Well, I 202 00:10:49,880 --> 00:10:52,440 Speaker 1: know what I pick. I couldn't care less about starting, 203 00:10:52,679 --> 00:10:56,400 Speaker 1: and starting has to do with what defense they might 204 00:10:56,440 --> 00:10:58,200 Speaker 1: see some of the plays they want to run right 205 00:10:58,240 --> 00:11:00,840 Speaker 1: out of the shoot that starting really doesn't matter. But 206 00:11:01,080 --> 00:11:02,800 Speaker 1: the follow up question, all that was was he gonna 207 00:11:02,840 --> 00:11:07,440 Speaker 1: start and coach after kind of being cajoled into it. 208 00:11:08,040 --> 00:11:11,680 Speaker 1: He thought it was a little bit of clickbait. That's right, 209 00:11:11,800 --> 00:11:14,920 Speaker 1: it's clickbait. Good one coach. I kind of feel that 210 00:11:14,920 --> 00:11:18,240 Speaker 1: way too, running backs, tight ends, wide receivers. It doesn't 211 00:11:18,280 --> 00:11:21,480 Speaker 1: matter who starts now on the offensive line. It does 212 00:11:22,200 --> 00:11:24,640 Speaker 1: because those guys that typically start ended up playing the 213 00:11:24,679 --> 00:11:27,320 Speaker 1: majority of the snaps because you don't rotate freely. It's 214 00:11:27,320 --> 00:11:29,400 Speaker 1: not about personnel grouping. Yeah, you might put a sixth 215 00:11:29,400 --> 00:11:32,240 Speaker 1: offensive line in a tight end, but that said, usually 216 00:11:32,360 --> 00:11:34,840 Speaker 1: starts plays in the offensive line. One of those guys 217 00:11:34,840 --> 00:11:37,240 Speaker 1: that has an opportunity this year is going to be 218 00:11:37,320 --> 00:11:42,680 Speaker 1: second year offensive tackle Julian Davenport. Coaches asked about him 219 00:11:42,720 --> 00:11:46,280 Speaker 1: in his progress and what coach O'Brian thought of Julian 220 00:11:46,320 --> 00:11:48,160 Speaker 1: in the last two games he started against the Steelers 221 00:11:48,160 --> 00:11:50,000 Speaker 1: and Colts. Yeah, I thought when he went in there, 222 00:11:50,120 --> 00:11:53,480 Speaker 1: you know, for a rookie coming from a small school, 223 00:11:54,120 --> 00:12:00,280 Speaker 1: he's got a great attitude, very businesslike, very serious guy. 224 00:12:00,440 --> 00:12:02,040 Speaker 1: And I thought when he when he when he played, 225 00:12:02,080 --> 00:12:05,040 Speaker 1: he played some tight end, he played some tackle, you 226 00:12:05,080 --> 00:12:06,560 Speaker 1: know tackle. At the end of the year, I thought 227 00:12:06,559 --> 00:12:08,360 Speaker 1: I thought he held his own I thought he held 228 00:12:08,360 --> 00:12:11,400 Speaker 1: his own you know, he's a big guy. He's got 229 00:12:12,280 --> 00:12:17,080 Speaker 1: excellent length, athletic ability, and so yeah, I mean, look, 230 00:12:18,480 --> 00:12:21,079 Speaker 1: you know, he none of these positions are nailed down, 231 00:12:21,120 --> 00:12:25,800 Speaker 1: but he'll he'll be given the opportunity to to play 232 00:12:25,880 --> 00:12:29,559 Speaker 1: left tackle. As coach noted, there there are no guarantees 233 00:12:29,600 --> 00:12:31,280 Speaker 1: at this time of the year. Even if he said 234 00:12:31,360 --> 00:12:33,839 Speaker 1: he's gonna start left tack, there's no guarantees that's gonna happen. 235 00:12:34,400 --> 00:12:37,120 Speaker 1: But I went back and I watched Julian the last 236 00:12:37,120 --> 00:12:39,839 Speaker 1: two games. When those two games took place, it was 237 00:12:39,960 --> 00:12:43,360 Speaker 1: during Christmas break. Team was not playing very well. It 238 00:12:43,440 --> 00:12:45,280 Speaker 1: was not going well. We all wanted the season to 239 00:12:45,320 --> 00:12:46,640 Speaker 1: be over, so I really didn't get a chance to 240 00:12:46,640 --> 00:12:48,520 Speaker 1: study those games. I went back and watched him. I 241 00:12:48,559 --> 00:12:50,600 Speaker 1: didn't really study him, but I'm made a point the 242 00:12:50,600 --> 00:12:55,360 Speaker 1: other day to watch both games Steelers and Colts with 243 00:12:55,480 --> 00:12:58,800 Speaker 1: Juliana left tackle, because I started thinking, maybe that's the 244 00:12:58,840 --> 00:13:02,360 Speaker 1: way this goes. Given what's left in the draft. The 245 00:13:02,400 --> 00:13:04,600 Speaker 1: free agent Snake Solder was really the only one that 246 00:13:04,679 --> 00:13:06,960 Speaker 1: had a true body of work to play left tackle. 247 00:13:07,440 --> 00:13:09,319 Speaker 1: So I thought, what if they do go into the 248 00:13:09,320 --> 00:13:11,480 Speaker 1: season with Juliana left tackle, what does that mean? And 249 00:13:11,480 --> 00:13:13,640 Speaker 1: I watched those two games, and he faced he faced 250 00:13:13,640 --> 00:13:17,560 Speaker 1: t J. Watt, he faced stefantu at at times, he 251 00:13:17,760 --> 00:13:20,800 Speaker 1: faced Jibals. Sheared with the Colts, so he wasn't facing 252 00:13:20,800 --> 00:13:23,600 Speaker 1: a bunch of slappies, and he ended up faring. I thought, 253 00:13:23,920 --> 00:13:26,440 Speaker 1: very well, I'm not gonna sit here and tell you 254 00:13:26,440 --> 00:13:28,080 Speaker 1: he's gonna be an all pro left tackle, and I'm 255 00:13:28,120 --> 00:13:29,920 Speaker 1: gonna tell you he's gonna be a starter. But I 256 00:13:30,320 --> 00:13:33,479 Speaker 1: after I got done with those I thought, man, Juliane 257 00:13:33,640 --> 00:13:36,080 Speaker 1: came a long way. If he makes the year one 258 00:13:36,120 --> 00:13:38,959 Speaker 1: to year two jump like we expect based off of 259 00:13:38,960 --> 00:13:41,520 Speaker 1: those two games, and he makes that jump, I think 260 00:13:41,600 --> 00:13:43,959 Speaker 1: Julian Davenport could be the left tackle and we feel 261 00:13:44,080 --> 00:13:46,880 Speaker 1: really good about that going forward. Is it gonna be perfect? No? 262 00:13:47,720 --> 00:13:49,240 Speaker 1: I mean, look, he's two years. He moved from playing 263 00:13:49,240 --> 00:13:53,200 Speaker 1: at Bucknell against VMI and in Villanova. Now he's facing 264 00:13:53,360 --> 00:13:56,079 Speaker 1: the Steelers and the Colts and then the Jags. So 265 00:13:56,480 --> 00:13:58,800 Speaker 1: he's got a long way to go. He still gotta 266 00:13:58,840 --> 00:14:01,000 Speaker 1: get stronger. But if he comes back from his offseason 267 00:14:01,000 --> 00:14:03,760 Speaker 1: conditioning and he gets in this offseason conditioning and he 268 00:14:03,880 --> 00:14:07,400 Speaker 1: is stronger, and he is now a little bit more 269 00:14:07,440 --> 00:14:09,520 Speaker 1: accustomed to the speed of the game. I think Julione 270 00:14:09,640 --> 00:14:11,040 Speaker 1: could end up holding his own at one of the 271 00:14:11,040 --> 00:14:14,080 Speaker 1: tackle positions, left, right, whatever. I think he's gonna end 272 00:14:14,120 --> 00:14:15,560 Speaker 1: up holding his own at one of those spots. He's 273 00:14:15,600 --> 00:14:18,160 Speaker 1: more comfortable at left than is it right? I really 274 00:14:18,200 --> 00:14:21,440 Speaker 1: liked what I saw in those two games. Was it perfect? No? No, no, 275 00:14:21,640 --> 00:14:25,160 Speaker 1: not even close. But was it a lot better than 276 00:14:25,240 --> 00:14:28,600 Speaker 1: the other lineman he was playing along slide alongside of 277 00:14:28,840 --> 00:14:33,640 Speaker 1: those two games? Yeah, it really was so Julian. We'll 278 00:14:33,640 --> 00:14:35,800 Speaker 1: see the coach has some good things to say about 279 00:14:35,920 --> 00:14:39,200 Speaker 1: him and his opportunity to play left tack. All right, 280 00:14:39,240 --> 00:14:43,080 Speaker 1: we get back. It is our Football Guilty Pleasures Draft. 281 00:14:43,160 --> 00:14:44,680 Speaker 1: It's one of the night draft next right here in 282 00:14:44,720 --> 00:14:48,800 Speaker 1: Texas Access, it is time for our Wednesday night Draft. 283 00:14:49,080 --> 00:14:51,360 Speaker 1: I'm your host for the seasoning show.

Now now I'm not dead or alive, 298 00:15:34,000 --> 00:15:37,640 Speaker 1: fiction fictional or real, good matter. The very first picking 299 00:15:37,640 --> 00:15:41,280 Speaker 1: the draft is Mark Vandam or she took Ronald Reagan. Oh, okay, 300 00:15:41,320 --> 00:15:43,720 Speaker 1: I took George Patton. Here was my team. I took 301 00:15:43,760 --> 00:15:46,640 Speaker 1: Jason Bourne. Yeah, my team was George. I was thinking 302 00:15:46,800 --> 00:15:54,440 Speaker 1: more entertainment. My team was George Patton, Bruce Lee okay, um, oh, Charliet, 303 00:15:54,760 --> 00:15:57,480 Speaker 1: Chuck Benneric who played for the Eagles long time ago, Cort, 304 00:15:57,560 --> 00:16:03,560 Speaker 1: Charlie Rambo, and Willie Nelson. And then I took Jason Bourne, 305 00:16:04,000 --> 00:16:08,280 Speaker 1: Dalton from Rhodehouse, mister Rogers, Chuck Yeager, the Pilot, and 306 00:16:08,400 --> 00:16:10,360 Speaker 1: Don Meredith. The only rule is you had to have 307 00:16:10,440 --> 00:16:17,160 Speaker 1: one football type of one personnel from football foot Oh okay, 308 00:16:17,240 --> 00:16:20,280 Speaker 1: so I'd go George Washington. Okay, that's a good one. 309 00:16:20,440 --> 00:16:23,800 Speaker 1: He was on my list. I'd go Joe Montana, okay, 310 00:16:24,040 --> 00:16:26,320 Speaker 1: because Joe Montana got me into football. Sure, that's a 311 00:16:26,320 --> 00:16:29,240 Speaker 1: good one. That's he hosted Saturday Night Life, I mean, 312 00:16:29,280 --> 00:16:31,280 Speaker 1: and he was good, yeah, very good. And then the 313 00:16:31,320 --> 00:16:33,320 Speaker 1: third one, I want to be somebody from entertainment. I 314 00:16:33,360 --> 00:16:36,240 Speaker 1: like Jason Bourne, but I feel like there's an actor 315 00:16:36,360 --> 00:16:40,920 Speaker 1: or somebody out there, like maybe like a you know what, 316 00:16:41,040 --> 00:16:44,440 Speaker 1: Michael Jackson. I'm gonna put Michael Jackson on there because 317 00:16:44,440 --> 00:16:46,160 Speaker 1: when I was a kid and I went to India 318 00:16:46,200 --> 00:16:48,920 Speaker 1: with my family, Yeah, they didn't all they knew these 319 00:16:49,000 --> 00:16:50,960 Speaker 1: kids in the village. There was no TV, they didn't 320 00:16:50,960 --> 00:16:53,560 Speaker 1: know anything. They knew Michael jack Do you not have 321 00:16:53,640 --> 00:16:57,920 Speaker 1: to sell Michael Jackson who he is? Well, we did five, 322 00:16:57,960 --> 00:17:01,000 Speaker 1: that's okay, Well, okay, any more time to think about that. 323 00:17:01,000 --> 00:17:03,120 Speaker 1: That's okay. You did well on a spot, getting three 324 00:17:03,160 --> 00:17:05,560 Speaker 1: To be honest, that we did not draft John Wayne 325 00:17:05,640 --> 00:17:12,240 Speaker 1: or The Rock or Chuck Norris. So uh yeah, those 326 00:17:12,400 --> 00:17:15,440 Speaker 1: and also Stiffler from American Pie. Those were not those 327 00:17:15,480 --> 00:17:18,400 Speaker 1: are not drafted at any point. He's way down the list. 328 00:17:19,200 --> 00:17:23,399 Speaker 1: Your list, maybe all right, So tonight's I always I 329 00:17:23,400 --> 00:17:26,199 Speaker 1: always thinking about guilty pleasures, especially when it comes to football, Like, 330 00:17:26,520 --> 00:17:30,040 Speaker 1: what are the things that I just absolutely love, Like 331 00:17:30,080 --> 00:17:32,320 Speaker 1: I could watch, I could wear, I could look at, 332 00:17:32,520 --> 00:17:35,560 Speaker 1: I could listen to any of that. What are my 333 00:17:35,640 --> 00:17:38,480 Speaker 1: football guilty pleasures? I thought, okay, kind of taking what 334 00:17:38,520 --> 00:17:41,240 Speaker 1: Drew said last week, because you suggestion was tailgate food, 335 00:17:41,240 --> 00:17:44,040 Speaker 1: and I liked it. But then I thought, I don't 336 00:17:44,040 --> 00:17:45,720 Speaker 1: really go to tailgates a lot, so I'm not really 337 00:17:45,720 --> 00:17:49,439 Speaker 1: sure what's actually out there at a tailgate. But I figured, hey, 338 00:17:49,520 --> 00:17:52,000 Speaker 1: what about football guilty pleasures? Because one of the guilty 339 00:17:52,000 --> 00:17:55,600 Speaker 1: pleasures for football for people is tailgating. And I was like, 340 00:17:55,880 --> 00:17:58,879 Speaker 1: let's put it together. Came up with football guilty pleasures. 341 00:17:58,920 --> 00:18:02,160 Speaker 1: This can be any thing about the game of football. 342 00:18:02,440 --> 00:18:04,480 Speaker 1: It can run the gamm it, it could be movies, 343 00:18:04,520 --> 00:18:06,439 Speaker 1: it can be TV, it can be a player, it 344 00:18:06,440 --> 00:18:09,720 Speaker 1: can be anything. Anything that you want it to be 345 00:18:10,640 --> 00:18:15,440 Speaker 1: is your football guilty pleasure. You're ready, I'm ready ready, Okay, 346 00:18:15,600 --> 00:18:17,359 Speaker 1: deep you want to go first and kick us off? Ye? 347 00:18:17,480 --> 00:18:19,360 Speaker 1: Would you like you want me to kick it off? 348 00:18:21,080 --> 00:18:26,919 Speaker 1: And I want to go next. You can snake it. 349 00:18:26,920 --> 00:18:28,639 Speaker 1: It's fine, Okay, we'll snake it then, all right, so 350 00:18:28,640 --> 00:18:31,560 Speaker 1: that you guys are mine. Mine is one that is 351 00:18:31,600 --> 00:18:35,440 Speaker 1: not really it's more about the game, kind of touchdown 352 00:18:35,480 --> 00:18:39,879 Speaker 1: celebrations because growing up you could do touchdown celebrations. I 353 00:18:39,880 --> 00:18:42,960 Speaker 1: would watch the highlights every week to see touchdown celebrations 354 00:18:43,000 --> 00:18:45,160 Speaker 1: across the league. Then they went away. Then we're really sad. 355 00:18:45,200 --> 00:18:46,720 Speaker 1: We still got to see him from time to time. 356 00:18:47,000 --> 00:18:49,880 Speaker 1: And then they come back, and now with NFL Network, 357 00:18:49,960 --> 00:18:53,359 Speaker 1: they they replay the best celebrations of the league on 358 00:18:53,440 --> 00:18:55,959 Speaker 1: Monday morning. I don't know why I'm so entertained by 359 00:18:55,960 --> 00:18:57,960 Speaker 1: this segment. I die laughing because then they try to 360 00:18:58,000 --> 00:19:01,879 Speaker 1: recreate them, which is never ever even close to what 361 00:19:01,920 --> 00:19:04,040 Speaker 1: the original was. And I'm like, it's like six thirty 362 00:19:04,040 --> 00:19:06,040 Speaker 1: in the morning. I'm dying laughing, and my husband's like, 363 00:19:06,320 --> 00:19:09,920 Speaker 1: this is the least like technical part of the game, 364 00:19:10,080 --> 00:19:12,560 Speaker 1: and you're so into it and it's just a guilty pleasure. 365 00:19:12,600 --> 00:19:16,000 Speaker 1: I just think it was show's personality. It's entertaining, it's fun. 366 00:19:16,280 --> 00:19:18,040 Speaker 1: Even if it's a player from a different team. I 367 00:19:18,040 --> 00:19:19,919 Speaker 1: can get into it. I watch those all day long. 368 00:19:20,040 --> 00:19:23,040 Speaker 1: You crush it. That was actually I felt like you 369 00:19:23,040 --> 00:19:26,320 Speaker 1: guys would be like, that's too frivolous. That's a perfect one. 370 00:19:26,960 --> 00:19:30,359 Speaker 1: You got it exactly, Okay, all right, True, mine's kind 371 00:19:30,400 --> 00:19:36,560 Speaker 1: of nerdy. But whenever anyone, whether it's a college game 372 00:19:36,680 --> 00:19:39,919 Speaker 1: or a an NFL game, brings up time of possession, 373 00:19:40,600 --> 00:19:44,639 Speaker 1: I always smile and just think to my days in Lubbock, 374 00:19:45,240 --> 00:19:48,840 Speaker 1: after having to interview Mike Leach after every game and 375 00:19:49,400 --> 00:19:52,520 Speaker 1: hearing him answer questions. I never asked him because I 376 00:19:52,880 --> 00:19:56,240 Speaker 1: heard I learned early on he hated this. But Texas 377 00:19:56,280 --> 00:19:58,720 Speaker 1: Tech never won time of possession when they were out 378 00:19:58,720 --> 00:20:01,240 Speaker 1: there ever. I mean, it was rare, but they win. 379 00:20:01,359 --> 00:20:03,840 Speaker 1: They win more often than not most of their ball games. 380 00:20:03,960 --> 00:20:07,200 Speaker 1: You know. Uh, he got so mad about time of possesion. 381 00:20:07,359 --> 00:20:11,440 Speaker 1: It's not the points on the scoreboard. More important a 382 00:20:11,560 --> 00:20:14,560 Speaker 1: ton possession. Who cares if you win tim of possession 383 00:20:14,600 --> 00:20:17,679 Speaker 1: if you don't score football. So anytime anyone brings up 384 00:20:17,720 --> 00:20:20,159 Speaker 1: time of possession, I really laughed. Now, it's an important 385 00:20:20,160 --> 00:20:22,920 Speaker 1: stat I think, and you win time of possession, you 386 00:20:23,000 --> 00:20:25,639 Speaker 1: usually win the game. But they they kind of bucked 387 00:20:25,640 --> 00:20:28,359 Speaker 1: that trend while while he was out there, except for 388 00:20:28,680 --> 00:20:30,560 Speaker 1: in his la the last that two thousand and eight 389 00:20:30,600 --> 00:20:32,040 Speaker 1: season when they were awesome, they did win time of 390 00:20:32,040 --> 00:20:36,159 Speaker 1: possesion A just hearing the words time of possession every 391 00:20:36,160 --> 00:20:39,439 Speaker 1: single time it makes me smile and think of Mike 392 00:20:39,520 --> 00:20:41,960 Speaker 1: Lee's just squinching up his face and bobbing his head 393 00:20:42,000 --> 00:20:45,240 Speaker 1: and getting angry about time of possession. That's pretty good. 394 00:20:45,480 --> 00:20:48,160 Speaker 1: That's pretty good. It's my weird guilty pleasure. Sorry, all right, 395 00:20:48,200 --> 00:20:53,840 Speaker 1: So this this is mine and I I thought about 396 00:20:53,840 --> 00:20:56,560 Speaker 1: this when Warren Moon was here because I used to 397 00:20:56,560 --> 00:20:59,120 Speaker 1: think that Warren Moon through the most majestic ball there 398 00:20:59,160 --> 00:21:02,280 Speaker 1: ever was. And it really hit me again because being 399 00:21:02,280 --> 00:21:04,679 Speaker 1: in the building, we really haven't seen a lot of 400 00:21:04,720 --> 00:21:09,160 Speaker 1: deep balls, but in Seattle, when Deshan launched that ball 401 00:21:09,280 --> 00:21:12,240 Speaker 1: deep and just watching it in the air for as 402 00:21:12,280 --> 00:21:14,399 Speaker 1: long as it was and it connected the WillFull for 403 00:21:14,440 --> 00:21:19,280 Speaker 1: a touchdown. One of my most guilty pleasures is the bomb. Yeah, 404 00:21:19,400 --> 00:21:23,359 Speaker 1: seeing a completed long ball like that one, to just 405 00:21:23,440 --> 00:21:25,479 Speaker 1: see that spiral in the air and just watch it 406 00:21:25,520 --> 00:21:28,960 Speaker 1: like I mean, I was, it was, I was. I 407 00:21:28,960 --> 00:21:33,439 Speaker 1: could watch that play a million times. The completed bomb. 408 00:21:33,720 --> 00:21:35,720 Speaker 1: That is gonna be my first guilty pleasure. It's a 409 00:21:35,760 --> 00:21:38,679 Speaker 1: good one. Oh back, Wait, it sneaks back to me, right, 410 00:21:38,840 --> 00:21:42,000 Speaker 1: it snaks back to me. Okay, you guys know I 411 00:21:42,040 --> 00:21:44,880 Speaker 1: love NFL films. A lot of different ways I could 412 00:21:44,920 --> 00:21:49,200 Speaker 1: go with but like I'm I'm probably more weird than 413 00:21:49,240 --> 00:21:52,360 Speaker 1: other than others. The gold standard, I know. I just 414 00:21:52,400 --> 00:21:54,440 Speaker 1: love it. There's so many different ways you could go 415 00:21:54,640 --> 00:22:00,399 Speaker 1: with this, but I fell in love. I love document memories. 416 00:22:00,920 --> 00:22:04,520 Speaker 1: But to me, when America's game for NFL Network came out, 417 00:22:04,800 --> 00:22:07,280 Speaker 1: they did the top twenty Super Bowl teams of all time. 418 00:22:07,960 --> 00:22:11,439 Speaker 1: If America's game is on television or anywhere near me, 419 00:22:12,080 --> 00:22:14,359 Speaker 1: I will watch it. I will. I will watch in 420 00:22:14,400 --> 00:22:17,680 Speaker 1: air quotes. As I'm driving home in my car, I'll 421 00:22:17,720 --> 00:22:19,560 Speaker 1: just put on this scene so I can listen to. 422 00:22:19,640 --> 00:22:22,920 Speaker 1: I don't watch it to it. So my second one 423 00:22:23,640 --> 00:22:26,880 Speaker 1: is America's game on NFL Network. It's pretty good. Yeah, 424 00:22:26,920 --> 00:22:30,760 Speaker 1: it's pretty good. I like it. Drew. Next, the Navy 425 00:22:30,840 --> 00:22:33,560 Speaker 1: fight song, I like it. I don't watch much Navy football, 426 00:22:33,880 --> 00:22:36,240 Speaker 1: but every couple of years I'll hear their Navy fight 427 00:22:36,280 --> 00:22:40,520 Speaker 1: song that it's called Anchors. I'll win like a w 428 00:22:40,680 --> 00:22:44,720 Speaker 1: e H. So I just love it. Bump bump, bump 429 00:22:44,760 --> 00:22:47,960 Speaker 1: bump bump bump bump bum bum that you know, it's 430 00:22:47,960 --> 00:22:51,240 Speaker 1: great and above all other fight songs, that's your favorite. Yeah, 431 00:22:51,240 --> 00:22:52,679 Speaker 1: I didn't go to Navy or anything. I'm not going 432 00:22:52,720 --> 00:22:56,840 Speaker 1: to Michigan. My dad taught me that Michigan fight song 433 00:22:56,880 --> 00:22:58,679 Speaker 1: when I was five. I don't know why. I how 434 00:22:58,760 --> 00:23:01,200 Speaker 1: to play that on the xylophone or whatever. That you know. 435 00:23:01,240 --> 00:23:03,120 Speaker 1: It's also one of my guilty pleasures is that eight 436 00:23:03,200 --> 00:23:04,679 Speaker 1: Army Navy at the end of the game with the 437 00:23:04,680 --> 00:23:08,080 Speaker 1: games over, the team that wins sing second and I 438 00:23:08,320 --> 00:23:12,280 Speaker 1: I just love watching that team who's won. They have 439 00:23:12,320 --> 00:23:14,080 Speaker 1: to wait for the other team, but then when they do, 440 00:23:14,119 --> 00:23:16,840 Speaker 1: it's just this eruption. Oh good one, Drew, all right, 441 00:23:17,200 --> 00:23:18,920 Speaker 1: you get this last pick and then you get the 442 00:23:18,960 --> 00:23:21,680 Speaker 1: start off the third round. Oh okay. Uh. Mine is 443 00:23:21,720 --> 00:23:24,280 Speaker 1: along the lines of college football. I love college game 444 00:23:24,359 --> 00:23:30,239 Speaker 1: day signs. It's really good. I don't even care what 445 00:23:30,240 --> 00:23:32,840 Speaker 1: they're talking about, but I'm just like watching the signs 446 00:23:32,880 --> 00:23:34,719 Speaker 1: and I'm so I don't know, I'm so entertained by 447 00:23:34,720 --> 00:23:39,440 Speaker 1: the trash talking and the creativity. Like Jim Harball was 448 00:23:39,520 --> 00:23:41,879 Speaker 1: on once or Michigan was playing, and they had like 449 00:23:41,920 --> 00:23:44,320 Speaker 1: all these signs about Jim Harball. One was like Jim 450 00:23:44,359 --> 00:23:47,680 Speaker 1: Harball wears off brand khakis and yeah, Jim Harball uses 451 00:23:47,760 --> 00:23:51,399 Speaker 1: Snapchat filters and doesn't wait his turn in the pretzel 452 00:23:51,440 --> 00:23:55,439 Speaker 1: line jibas yah yeah, stuff like that.

And every now and then you'll see, 455 00:24:01,760 --> 00:24:04,159 Speaker 1: like I remember when we went to UM in twenty thirteen. 456 00:24:04,160 --> 00:24:06,720 Speaker 1: We went to San Diego and it was Week one 457 00:24:06,760 --> 00:24:08,480 Speaker 1: opening day and they had a bunch of those those 458 00:24:08,520 --> 00:24:11,880 Speaker 1: big heads, the big cutouts, fat heads were in and 459 00:24:12,040 --> 00:24:16,119 Speaker 1: somebody brought like all of our players heads, the big heads. 460 00:24:16,400 --> 00:24:19,639 Speaker 1: It was like Brian Cushing, role Mitchell Um.

Oh, it was fantastic. 504 00:26:32,800 --> 00:26:35,520 Speaker 1: I was as happy for Mark as I know I 505 00:26:35,600 --> 00:26:37,919 Speaker 1: was at the whole time. And he's always so nervous 506 00:26:37,920 --> 00:26:39,760 Speaker 1: at Lucas Oil statedum Mill site him before the game, 507 00:26:39,760 --> 00:26:42,320 Speaker 1: I'll see him at half time and he's just like, Oh, 508 00:26:42,359 --> 00:26:44,400 Speaker 1: I don't know, I just hate this place. I hate 509 00:26:44,440 --> 00:26:46,600 Speaker 1: this place like poison. I was very happy, and so 510 00:26:46,840 --> 00:26:48,879 Speaker 1: after he makes that call to AJ he throws it 511 00:26:48,880 --> 00:26:50,359 Speaker 1: down to me and I am like, sell, I'm like 512 00:26:50,400 --> 00:26:54,480 Speaker 1: down to them everybody, and he throws it. It's gonna John. 513 00:26:54,480 --> 00:26:56,439 Speaker 1: I'm like, I'm in half in tears and I was like. 514 00:26:57,520 --> 00:26:59,880 Speaker 1: But then the next day, which I heard the call, 515 00:27:00,040 --> 00:27:02,360 Speaker 1: but I didn't really it didn't really register because there's 516 00:27:02,359 --> 00:27:04,359 Speaker 1: so much going on. I'm watching, I'm watching everything, so 517 00:27:04,400 --> 00:27:06,120 Speaker 1: I didn't really hear it. The next day I heard 518 00:27:06,200 --> 00:27:08,240 Speaker 1: him play it. I was like, that was really good, 519 00:27:08,440 --> 00:27:11,000 Speaker 1: Like I told him, I said, that was excellent. I 520 00:27:11,000 --> 00:27:16,320 Speaker 1: could listen to him that he did. He had that one. 521 00:27:16,680 --> 00:27:19,280 Speaker 1: He did that one, uh ready to go on, and 522 00:27:19,560 --> 00:27:24,320 Speaker 1: my last one is now he's synonymous with college football, 523 00:27:25,040 --> 00:27:27,480 Speaker 1: but he also did the very first year Monday Night Football. 524 00:27:27,640 --> 00:27:30,119 Speaker 1: But to me, he is the voice of football in 525 00:27:30,200 --> 00:27:33,120 Speaker 1: my mind, and that's Keith Jackson. Keith Jackson. I could 526 00:27:33,119 --> 00:27:35,239 Speaker 1: listen to any game to Keith Jackson's doing, whether it's 527 00:27:35,320 --> 00:27:39,199 Speaker 1: Keith Jackson and Frank Broyles, Keith Jackson and Greasy. I 528 00:27:39,400 --> 00:27:42,960 Speaker 1: listened to Keith Jackson all day long. He was he 529 00:27:43,000 --> 00:27:46,840 Speaker 1: was very really good. Basically Jackson was just it spoke 530 00:27:47,080 --> 00:27:49,639 Speaker 1: volumes to me. And it's obviously as I was you know, 531 00:27:49,760 --> 00:27:52,159 Speaker 1: in young adulthood, moving on into adulthood. But he just 532 00:27:52,200 --> 00:27:54,439 Speaker 1: passed away recently, and that was one of my that 533 00:27:54,520 --> 00:27:55,560 Speaker 1: was one of the things I always want to do. 534 00:27:55,600 --> 00:27:57,199 Speaker 1: I just wanted to meet him and talk. I just 535 00:27:57,240 --> 00:27:59,520 Speaker 1: talked to him about college football because he covered it 536 00:27:59,560 --> 00:28:03,600 Speaker 1: all but didn't get the opportunity. But Keith Jackson man, 537 00:28:03,640 --> 00:28:06,439 Speaker 1: that dude. I can listen. I could listen to him 538 00:28:06,480 --> 00:28:08,960 Speaker 1: call game when he when he was in his heyday, 539 00:28:09,040 --> 00:28:13,480 Speaker 1: he was fantastic. Okay, I'm gonna go. I've got a 540 00:28:13,520 --> 00:28:16,240 Speaker 1: couple of honorable mentions. I'm not gonna go with Devin Hester. 541 00:28:17,240 --> 00:28:19,840 Speaker 1: I'm not gonna go with the early eighties uniforms of 542 00:28:19,880 --> 00:28:25,440 Speaker 1: the SMU Mustangs. I'm gonna go with return touchdowns, whether 543 00:28:25,480 --> 00:28:30,240 Speaker 1: it's an interception return, a punt, because offensive touchdowns, for 544 00:28:30,280 --> 00:28:34,520 Speaker 1: the most part, are typically choreographed. You know, yeah, there 545 00:28:34,600 --> 00:28:37,360 Speaker 1: was a plan there. It's chaos with a return. I mean, 546 00:28:38,800 --> 00:28:41,080 Speaker 1: and I know you know, punt returns, that's what special 547 00:28:41,080 --> 00:28:43,400 Speaker 1: team's coaches try to set up. They try but still, 548 00:28:43,480 --> 00:28:45,440 Speaker 1: I mean, it's a lot of times it's it's making 549 00:28:45,440 --> 00:28:47,680 Speaker 1: one guy miss and then we even threw other things. 550 00:28:48,080 --> 00:28:50,760 Speaker 1: I love returns for touchdowns. I want to see more 551 00:28:50,760 --> 00:28:53,240 Speaker 1: of them for the touchdowns, excuse me, for the Texans 552 00:28:53,280 --> 00:28:56,720 Speaker 1: specifically in twenty eighteen. That's what I like. That's very good. 553 00:28:56,840 --> 00:29:00,600 Speaker 1: Dp last pick of the Football Guilty Pleasures Draft, um, 554 00:29:00,640 --> 00:29:03,000 Speaker 1: I was going to give an honorable mention to my 555 00:29:03,040 --> 00:29:06,800 Speaker 1: favorite player. We can if you want. I think. I 556 00:29:06,840 --> 00:29:09,080 Speaker 1: think hill Mary and fake punt right up there with 557 00:29:09,120 --> 00:29:12,000 Speaker 1: the trick plays that at least three times a game. 558 00:29:12,040 --> 00:29:16,840 Speaker 1: I nut you here, it's coming right here, and most 559 00:29:16,840 --> 00:29:18,400 Speaker 1: of the time you're wrong. But every now and then 560 00:29:18,760 --> 00:29:23,880 Speaker 1: I think I've been wrong every single time. I was 561 00:29:23,880 --> 00:29:25,480 Speaker 1: trying to be nice, but you know what, I'm gonna 562 00:29:25,520 --> 00:29:27,680 Speaker 1: go super frivolous on this one, at the risk of 563 00:29:28,040 --> 00:29:30,840 Speaker 1: totally girling out here. We get on the plane and 564 00:29:30,880 --> 00:29:34,040 Speaker 1: all the players on the road games, they're dressed up 565 00:29:34,040 --> 00:29:36,040 Speaker 1: in their suits or whatever they're gonna wear on game day, 566 00:29:36,040 --> 00:29:39,840 Speaker 1: they wear them. Usually the Dave travel as well. So 567 00:29:39,960 --> 00:29:41,680 Speaker 1: I get a window seat, and I like to look 568 00:29:41,680 --> 00:29:44,640 Speaker 1: at the window and see what everybody's wearing, because I 569 00:29:44,680 --> 00:29:47,520 Speaker 1: think it's just I'm so entertained by their fashion choices. 570 00:29:47,560 --> 00:29:49,840 Speaker 1: We see them, you know, in their jerseys all week long. 571 00:29:49,920 --> 00:29:51,719 Speaker 1: But and I won't name any names, but like I 572 00:29:51,760 --> 00:29:56,200 Speaker 1: saw a totally sequined jacket this year by a non starter, 573 00:29:56,520 --> 00:29:58,880 Speaker 1: totally like sequined out to the nines, like he was 574 00:29:58,920 --> 00:30:03,280 Speaker 1: sparkling in the sun. Seen velvet. We talked about Ben 575 00:30:03,360 --> 00:30:05,840 Speaker 1: Jones and they all camouflage head to toe. With the 576 00:30:06,520 --> 00:30:10,640 Speaker 1: camouflage luggage I have seen. We've seen a lot of 577 00:30:10,640 --> 00:30:14,000 Speaker 1: different things. We've seen hats, we've seen accessories, we've seen shoes. 578 00:30:14,480 --> 00:30:16,600 Speaker 1: But I really like that. I think that you get 579 00:30:16,640 --> 00:30:19,000 Speaker 1: to really see I think the players enjoy because all 580 00:30:19,000 --> 00:30:20,600 Speaker 1: the ones that enjoyed dressing up. I don't think the 581 00:30:20,600 --> 00:30:23,040 Speaker 1: old lineman love it. I don't think Vince Wilfork liked it. 582 00:30:23,040 --> 00:30:25,800 Speaker 1: He would just wear like pants and a T shirt. Yeah, 583 00:30:25,840 --> 00:30:28,040 Speaker 1: he just he was like I do not care about 584 00:30:28,040 --> 00:30:30,040 Speaker 1: this day. But I really like that because I think 585 00:30:30,040 --> 00:30:31,440 Speaker 1: also with our jobs, we could do a lot of 586 00:30:31,440 --> 00:30:33,160 Speaker 1: cool things. And that's something that a lot of fans 587 00:30:33,160 --> 00:30:35,800 Speaker 1: don't get to see. Home games are different because you 588 00:30:35,840 --> 00:30:39,720 Speaker 1: know it's home games. Although although Deonta Foreman and Bruce 589 00:30:39,720 --> 00:30:42,720 Speaker 1: Ellington were the same outfit ones and I was talking 590 00:30:42,760 --> 00:30:44,840 Speaker 1: in the locker room like wow, did like it's a 591 00:30:44,880 --> 00:30:47,920 Speaker 1: crazy looking shirt. It's not even like a standard white 592 00:30:49,040 --> 00:30:52,800 Speaker 1: and they both were olive pants, and so I think 593 00:30:52,840 --> 00:30:55,240 Speaker 1: it was Bruce Ellington's fiance. She said, Oh I got 594 00:30:55,280 --> 00:30:57,720 Speaker 1: I got him the shirt at Zara, but like I 595 00:30:57,720 --> 00:30:59,479 Speaker 1: didn't know, Like, how did I know that somebody else 596 00:30:59,520 --> 00:31:02,480 Speaker 1: would wear the same day? Super fun? So I enjoy 597 00:31:02,520 --> 00:31:05,000 Speaker 1: I enjoy that. All right, Drew, you got any more 598 00:31:05,040 --> 00:31:10,040 Speaker 1: honorable mention? Uh?

Like I love I love radio, 604 00:31:27,440 --> 00:31:29,959 Speaker 1: So I love it when other people do radio really well, 605 00:31:30,280 --> 00:31:32,920 Speaker 1: and that's not even their main job. They're players that 606 00:31:33,120 --> 00:31:35,200 Speaker 1: just become really good radio hosts. You know who did 607 00:31:35,200 --> 00:31:37,040 Speaker 1: a good job of the locker room for the Vikings 608 00:31:37,080 --> 00:31:40,360 Speaker 1: was Brian Robinson. Yeah.

It It 649 00:33:39,560 --> 00:33:42,880 Speaker 1: was fantastic. So snow games, I know, is one of 650 00:33:42,880 --> 00:33:45,400 Speaker 1: those for a lot of people. It definitely definitely is 651 00:33:45,400 --> 00:33:47,520 Speaker 1: for me. And have you grown up Wisconsin unless there 652 00:33:47,680 --> 00:33:49,840 Speaker 1: my sheriff snow games, but it had been a while 653 00:33:49,840 --> 00:33:52,520 Speaker 1: since I had seen a snow game, and a lot 654 00:33:52,520 --> 00:33:55,200 Speaker 1: of kind of got both. I hadn't been a lamboat 655 00:33:55,240 --> 00:33:56,600 Speaker 1: a long time, but I got a chance to do 656 00:33:56,640 --> 00:34:00,600 Speaker 1: that in twenty sixteen, going to Lamba, my parents in 657 00:34:00,640 --> 00:34:03,360 Speaker 1: the stands and it's snowing in Green it was. It 658 00:34:03,400 --> 00:34:05,360 Speaker 1: was phenomenal. It was phenomenal. I mean it was like 659 00:34:05,360 --> 00:34:09,560 Speaker 1: guilty pleasure come too. But the bomb. I could watch 660 00:34:09,680 --> 00:34:14,439 Speaker 1: a beautifully thrown spiral. I remember Cordell Stewart, who I've 661 00:34:14,480 --> 00:34:17,439 Speaker 1: gotten to know through tune in I during the season, 662 00:34:17,440 --> 00:34:19,160 Speaker 1: I would go on every Tuesday with Cordell Stewart and 663 00:34:19,160 --> 00:34:21,920 Speaker 1: Brian Weber. We met them after Greenbrier and on their 664 00:34:21,960 --> 00:34:23,440 Speaker 1: No Huddle show. I would go out with them, and 665 00:34:23,440 --> 00:34:25,360 Speaker 1: so I've known I know Cordell a little bit, and 666 00:34:25,400 --> 00:34:28,720 Speaker 1: so I One of my favorite things to ever watch 667 00:34:28,800 --> 00:34:30,879 Speaker 1: was him throwing the hail Mary in nineteen ninety four. 668 00:34:30,880 --> 00:34:33,719 Speaker 1: Ted Johnson knows about this, throwing a hail Mary to 669 00:34:33,840 --> 00:34:36,040 Speaker 1: Michael Westbrook and the balls like seventy five yards in 670 00:34:36,080 --> 00:34:39,600 Speaker 1: the air and you see it like this majestic parabola 671 00:34:39,680 --> 00:34:42,880 Speaker 1: in the air. Oh, I love it. I absolutely love it. 672 00:34:42,920 --> 00:34:45,319 Speaker 1: So that's our guilty pleasures draft. All right's bounce around 673 00:34:45,320 --> 00:34:48,240 Speaker 1: the league. A couple of things happening throughout the league. 674 00:34:48,920 --> 00:34:51,920 Speaker 1: The Texans signed Brandon Weedon. Didn't mention that early on. 675 00:34:51,920 --> 00:34:55,520 Speaker 1: I'm sure that Mark talked about that at some point yesterday, 676 00:34:55,760 --> 00:34:57,920 Speaker 1: the Texas bringing back Brandon weed And I've seen some 677 00:34:58,560 --> 00:35:01,200 Speaker 1: ass of vitriol on Twitter. It's funny because one of 678 00:35:01,239 --> 00:35:04,279 Speaker 1: the names that popped up when we were talking about 679 00:35:04,320 --> 00:35:06,600 Speaker 1: backup quarterbacks. It popped up a couple of days ago, 680 00:35:06,680 --> 00:35:08,120 Speaker 1: and I thought about this. I was like, man, what 681 00:35:08,160 --> 00:35:10,480 Speaker 1: about Cody Kessler. I didn't know his contract situation. I 682 00:35:10,480 --> 00:35:11,960 Speaker 1: didn't think it's a free agent. I thought it might 683 00:35:11,960 --> 00:35:13,560 Speaker 1: be have to be a trade if they did it. 684 00:35:14,440 --> 00:35:16,279 Speaker 1: But then I saw they brought back Brandon. We had 685 00:35:16,280 --> 00:35:18,000 Speaker 1: a lot of people like, oh, he knows the system. 686 00:35:18,120 --> 00:35:19,920 Speaker 1: Coach O'Brian just said in the first segment the system 687 00:35:19,960 --> 00:35:22,320 Speaker 1: is gonna be different. But I think what Brandon knows 688 00:35:22,960 --> 00:35:26,640 Speaker 1: is the personnel. He knows the personnel, he knows everybody involved, 689 00:35:26,680 --> 00:35:28,640 Speaker 1: he knows you know. And I think that's one of 690 00:35:28,680 --> 00:35:31,560 Speaker 1: the things about you know, it's not so much running 691 00:35:31,600 --> 00:35:34,239 Speaker 1: this offense that I mean, anybody's saying that it's not 692 00:35:34,239 --> 00:35:36,319 Speaker 1: really that. It's about knowing the personnel, And I'm talking 693 00:35:36,360 --> 00:35:40,040 Speaker 1: about knowing understanding and dealing with coach O'Brien and the 694 00:35:40,080 --> 00:35:43,480 Speaker 1: team and the players and everything about it, and just 695 00:35:43,800 --> 00:35:45,719 Speaker 1: not having to get somebody up to speed and think 696 00:35:45,719 --> 00:35:48,040 Speaker 1: about this in OTAs. If the shan is not able 697 00:35:48,080 --> 00:35:52,320 Speaker 1: to go in OTAs, then you're not gonna get anything 698 00:35:52,360 --> 00:35:54,240 Speaker 1: done if you don't have a quarterback that can step 699 00:35:54,280 --> 00:35:55,920 Speaker 1: in and knows where everybody needs to be and get 700 00:35:55,920 --> 00:35:58,399 Speaker 1: everybody in the right spot. So what are you gonna 701 00:35:58,440 --> 00:36:01,640 Speaker 1: get done? Said they want to Brandy Weed. Now a 702 00:36:01,760 --> 00:36:03,279 Speaker 1: name I thought about a couple weeks ago as I 703 00:36:03,280 --> 00:36:06,799 Speaker 1: was saying it was Cody Kessler. He ends up going 704 00:36:06,800 --> 00:36:10,080 Speaker 1: to Jacksonville's the backup. The Browns traded a twenty nineteen, 705 00:36:10,480 --> 00:36:16,440 Speaker 1: twenty nineteen seventh rounder to Jacksonville. I'm sorry to the 706 00:36:16,440 --> 00:36:19,920 Speaker 1: Browns for Kessler to go to Jacksonville. So Cody Kessler, 707 00:36:20,320 --> 00:36:23,560 Speaker 1: he's out, he goes the Sean Kaiser was traded to 708 00:36:23,800 --> 00:36:26,560 Speaker 1: Green Bay. So John Dorsey came in and said, yeah, 709 00:36:26,719 --> 00:36:29,520 Speaker 1: quarterbacks we had, and that's so good because they had 710 00:36:29,520 --> 00:36:33,239 Speaker 1: Brock Oswiler, he's out. They had Cody Kessler, he's out. 711 00:36:33,280 --> 00:36:36,880 Speaker 1: Sean Kaiser, he's out. You've got on hand Kevin Hogan, 712 00:36:37,600 --> 00:36:40,360 Speaker 1: and you've got now Tyrod Taylor, and I would imagine 713 00:36:40,440 --> 00:36:42,680 Speaker 1: the draft pick. Ty right said, he's not a bridge quarterback, 714 00:36:42,719 --> 00:36:45,120 Speaker 1: but he's gonna be a guy that fills it. He's 715 00:36:45,120 --> 00:36:46,960 Speaker 1: gonna be a guy who steps up twenty eighteen, does 716 00:36:47,000 --> 00:36:50,120 Speaker 1: some good things. But he's not the face of the franchise. Yeah, 717 00:36:50,160 --> 00:36:51,359 Speaker 1: I would love for it to be, but it's just 718 00:36:51,400 --> 00:36:54,719 Speaker 1: he's not gonna be. So Browns trade Cody Kessler to 719 00:36:55,440 --> 00:37:00,600 Speaker 1: the Jacksonville Jaguars. Now we talked about this a little, 720 00:37:00,680 --> 00:37:04,280 Speaker 1: just a little bit. Odell Beckham Junior. The Giants apparently 721 00:37:04,320 --> 00:37:09,000 Speaker 1: have asked for two first round picks for Odell Beckham. 722 00:37:09,080 --> 00:37:12,480 Speaker 1: If there's a team that is going to give up 723 00:37:12,480 --> 00:37:16,400 Speaker 1: two first round picks to get Odell Beckham Junior and 724 00:37:16,440 --> 00:37:22,120 Speaker 1: then have to pay a monstrous contract, then Dave Gettleman 725 00:37:22,840 --> 00:37:27,040 Speaker 1: should run to wherever they are and sign the deal 726 00:37:27,040 --> 00:37:30,799 Speaker 1: and shake on it. You take two first round picks 727 00:37:30,800 --> 00:37:33,160 Speaker 1: for waters here? Yeah, but John, it's Odell Beckham Junior. 728 00:37:33,440 --> 00:37:39,560 Speaker 1: I don't care two first rounders. Two first rounders for anybody. 729 00:37:39,640 --> 00:37:42,040 Speaker 1: I don't care who it is, but two first round 730 00:37:42,080 --> 00:37:43,600 Speaker 1: the only thing. You trade two first rounders for a 731 00:37:43,719 --> 00:37:48,000 Speaker 1: quarterback in the story, that's it. You trade two first 732 00:37:48,080 --> 00:37:52,560 Speaker 1: rounders for a quarterback. Done. You don't do it for anything. Oh, 733 00:37:52,600 --> 00:37:56,040 Speaker 1: you're horning draft picks. I trust myself in the first round. 734 00:37:56,239 --> 00:37:58,120 Speaker 1: You're gonna give me two players in the first round. 735 00:37:58,160 --> 00:38:01,799 Speaker 1: I got opportunity to two first round picks. Come on, man, 736 00:38:02,280 --> 00:38:05,600 Speaker 1: and the Giants are not boyd of talent. They got 737 00:38:05,640 --> 00:38:09,279 Speaker 1: an opportunity to turn this thing around real quickly, just 738 00:38:09,400 --> 00:38:11,840 Speaker 1: like just like the Browns can. The Browns could do 739 00:38:11,840 --> 00:38:15,440 Speaker 1: that too. I think that he's gonna end up staying 740 00:38:15,440 --> 00:38:18,399 Speaker 1: in New York. He's gonna end up signing a deal, 741 00:38:19,400 --> 00:38:21,480 Speaker 1: and he's gonna be there. Now there's some talk about 742 00:38:21,480 --> 00:38:23,080 Speaker 1: the Rams. I don't know the Rams fit on their 743 00:38:23,080 --> 00:38:25,120 Speaker 1: salary cap. I don't know. I don't know how that happens. 744 00:38:25,800 --> 00:38:28,200 Speaker 1: But they'll have to pay Odell Beckham Junior soon. They'll 745 00:38:28,239 --> 00:38:30,400 Speaker 1: have to pay Marcus Peters soon. And if they hit 746 00:38:30,440 --> 00:38:32,520 Speaker 1: it off with Sue, they're gonna have to extend him too, 747 00:38:32,960 --> 00:38:35,000 Speaker 1: And then they're gonna have to pay Donald I mean, 748 00:38:35,000 --> 00:38:36,640 Speaker 1: they got a lot of money they're gonna have to spend. 749 00:38:36,680 --> 00:38:38,839 Speaker 1: I just can't see the Rams doing it. Maybe they 750 00:38:38,840 --> 00:38:40,160 Speaker 1: want to do it for one year, go all in, 751 00:38:40,200 --> 00:38:41,880 Speaker 1: see if they can win it, and then kind of 752 00:38:41,920 --> 00:38:44,040 Speaker 1: the Miami Marlins thing that they did a few years ago, 753 00:38:45,560 --> 00:38:47,759 Speaker 1: many years ago, but twenty years ago. Now they just 754 00:38:47,800 --> 00:38:49,279 Speaker 1: had a big old fire sale. At the end of this. 755 00:38:49,360 --> 00:38:51,439 Speaker 1: You're not gonna be able to bring everybody back. That's 756 00:38:51,440 --> 00:38:53,920 Speaker 1: the problem in LA. But maybe they do it, but 757 00:38:53,920 --> 00:38:55,719 Speaker 1: you're gonna give up two first round picks if you're 758 00:38:55,840 --> 00:38:58,360 Speaker 1: LA to do it, and then you might not be 759 00:38:58,360 --> 00:39:00,719 Speaker 1: able to keep everybody that you've brought in. I don't 760 00:39:00,760 --> 00:39:03,000 Speaker 1: see it. I don't see anybody doing it. I really don't. 761 00:39:04,120 --> 00:39:07,120 Speaker 1: The team that could possibly do it would end up 762 00:39:07,160 --> 00:39:09,680 Speaker 1: being the Cleveland Browns. But I don't think the Browns 763 00:39:09,680 --> 00:39:11,600 Speaker 1: at a point where Odell Beckham Junior puts them over 764 00:39:11,640 --> 00:39:13,759 Speaker 1: the top. It's the only way, that's the only way 765 00:39:13,760 --> 00:39:16,960 Speaker 1: you make this deal. Only way, and for the Rams 766 00:39:17,280 --> 00:39:20,560 Speaker 1: that could make some sense. Ode Beckham Junior could put 767 00:39:20,560 --> 00:39:22,600 Speaker 1: the Rams over the top, so I could see it. 768 00:39:23,880 --> 00:39:25,480 Speaker 1: But if you're the Giants, you know what you're getting. 769 00:39:25,520 --> 00:39:27,960 Speaker 1: You're getting the thirty first to thirty second pick if 770 00:39:28,000 --> 00:39:29,960 Speaker 1: they get him, because the Rams are gonna be in 771 00:39:30,000 --> 00:39:32,360 Speaker 1: the Super Bowl with him and all the other pieces 772 00:39:32,440 --> 00:39:34,520 Speaker 1: Dave acquired. So you're gonna get the thirty first to 773 00:39:34,600 --> 00:39:37,600 Speaker 1: thirty second pick. I mean, it's not like you're getting 774 00:39:37,680 --> 00:39:40,200 Speaker 1: number three and number four. You get the thirty first 775 00:39:40,239 --> 00:39:42,799 Speaker 1: to thirty second picks. So but still I'm getting first 776 00:39:42,840 --> 00:39:45,080 Speaker 1: round picks. I'll take two first round picks if you're 777 00:39:45,080 --> 00:39:47,719 Speaker 1: gonna give him to me for Odell Beckham Junior. Come on, 778 00:39:48,000 --> 00:39:52,600 Speaker 1: let's go find David Gedelman. Sue Cravens traded to the Broncos. 779 00:39:52,719 --> 00:39:57,120 Speaker 1: Not a huge name, but it's to me, it's curious. 780 00:39:57,160 --> 00:40:02,279 Speaker 1: I'm curious about it. Sue Cravens was there were some 781 00:40:02,320 --> 00:40:04,920 Speaker 1: issues with in Washington on a number of different levels, 782 00:40:05,840 --> 00:40:07,440 Speaker 1: and so I'm very curious to see how that fit 783 00:40:07,560 --> 00:40:12,040 Speaker 1: goes in Denver. But this one is the one I 784 00:40:12,080 --> 00:40:16,440 Speaker 1: think really got I don't say I got under people's skin. 785 00:40:16,440 --> 00:40:17,919 Speaker 1: I would have loved to have heard what Teddy Jay said. 786 00:40:17,920 --> 00:40:20,400 Speaker 1: I didn't get a chance to listen yesterday. But a 787 00:40:20,480 --> 00:40:27,239 Speaker 1: rule that the NFL has put in was something that 788 00:40:27,360 --> 00:40:29,560 Speaker 1: Roger Goodell had to talk about today when he addressed 789 00:40:29,600 --> 00:40:33,440 Speaker 1: the media today from the annual league meetings. It is 790 00:40:33,480 --> 00:40:37,400 Speaker 1: about the lowering of the head. Now, a lot of 791 00:40:37,400 --> 00:40:44,520 Speaker 1: people have voiced opinions on this, and obviously I'll voice mine. 792 00:40:44,239 --> 00:40:49,400 Speaker 1: I understand spirit of the rule and the spirit of 793 00:40:49,400 --> 00:40:52,840 Speaker 1: the law. Now, a few years ago, I remember remember 794 00:40:52,840 --> 00:40:55,000 Speaker 1: going on the radio and seeing one of the rules 795 00:40:55,000 --> 00:40:56,560 Speaker 1: that the NFL put in and it had to do 796 00:40:56,640 --> 00:41:00,759 Speaker 1: with something like this, and I think it was like 797 00:41:00,760 --> 00:41:03,080 Speaker 1: a running back couldn't lower his head to run somebody 798 00:41:03,080 --> 00:41:05,640 Speaker 1: over and it was never called. It was never called. 799 00:41:06,800 --> 00:41:11,040 Speaker 1: And that's my whole point. How is this going to 800 00:41:11,080 --> 00:41:15,480 Speaker 1: be called? Look, if true spearing, which is using to 801 00:41:15,560 --> 00:41:20,919 Speaker 1: crown on your helmet, if that was called properly, that's 802 00:41:20,960 --> 00:41:24,759 Speaker 1: what this is. This is basically saying that we're not 803 00:41:24,880 --> 00:41:28,080 Speaker 1: calling spearing properly. There are a lot of hits that 804 00:41:28,160 --> 00:41:31,919 Speaker 1: just go wow, that was not that was not good. 805 00:41:32,239 --> 00:41:34,840 Speaker 1: Rogerodell said today, our focus is how to take the 806 00:41:34,840 --> 00:41:36,160 Speaker 1: head out of the game and make sure that we're 807 00:41:36,239 --> 00:41:39,959 Speaker 1: using the helmet as protection as not being used as 808 00:41:39,960 --> 00:41:42,040 Speaker 1: a weapon. And that's the core of what we're focused on. 809 00:41:42,280 --> 00:41:44,200 Speaker 1: And I think we made a tremendous amount of progress 810 00:41:44,239 --> 00:41:47,279 Speaker 1: in that this week. Now, there are a lot of 811 00:41:47,280 --> 00:41:50,960 Speaker 1: people that looked at and said, whoa man, what if 812 00:41:51,000 --> 00:41:52,480 Speaker 1: I go to make a tackle on a guy and 813 00:41:52,520 --> 00:41:54,520 Speaker 1: then he slips and I kind up, Well, first of all, 814 00:41:54,520 --> 00:41:56,360 Speaker 1: your head shouldn't be down anyways when you tackle that. 815 00:41:56,480 --> 00:42:00,359 Speaker 1: That's the whole point a good solid tackle. You keep 816 00:42:00,400 --> 00:42:05,680 Speaker 1: your head up at all times. Now, there's gonna come 817 00:42:05,680 --> 00:42:10,200 Speaker 1: a time, I would think when the quarterback or running 818 00:42:10,200 --> 00:42:12,360 Speaker 1: back or whomever starts to kind of go down to 819 00:42:12,400 --> 00:42:14,719 Speaker 1: the ground and you maybe hit Those are the ones 820 00:42:14,760 --> 00:42:18,440 Speaker 1: that I think will be the test case, because I 821 00:42:18,480 --> 00:42:22,120 Speaker 1: think that gets officiated poorly in college football and it 822 00:42:22,280 --> 00:42:25,560 Speaker 1: costs some guys the a half because they end up 823 00:42:25,560 --> 00:42:29,160 Speaker 1: getting the targeting call on them and they've got to 824 00:42:29,160 --> 00:42:32,680 Speaker 1: go off for a half. Now, I hope that's not 825 00:42:32,760 --> 00:42:35,960 Speaker 1: what this is. I hope this is just really kind 826 00:42:35,960 --> 00:42:37,799 Speaker 1: of a shot across the bout to say, look, take 827 00:42:37,840 --> 00:42:39,880 Speaker 1: the helmet out of the game. If you're leading with 828 00:42:39,920 --> 00:42:42,360 Speaker 1: your helmet, if you're if you're not trying to wrap up, 829 00:42:42,360 --> 00:42:44,040 Speaker 1: you're just throwing your helmet, you're duck in your head. 830 00:42:44,160 --> 00:42:47,200 Speaker 1: We're gonna start flagging for I think it's actually for 831 00:42:47,320 --> 00:42:50,840 Speaker 1: the betterment of the players. They've got to learn to 832 00:42:51,000 --> 00:42:52,440 Speaker 1: not because this is the world we're live in. It 833 00:42:53,160 --> 00:42:54,719 Speaker 1: you can gripe a complaint about this is the world 834 00:42:54,719 --> 00:42:58,720 Speaker 1: we're living in with football. Do we all love it? Nah? 835 00:42:58,760 --> 00:43:01,640 Speaker 1: But they're trying to make this a safer game. They 836 00:43:01,760 --> 00:43:04,440 Speaker 1: know football knows what it's up against in some sense. 837 00:43:06,640 --> 00:43:08,160 Speaker 1: But if you take the head out of the game, 838 00:43:09,840 --> 00:43:11,480 Speaker 1: it can end up being it can be a I 839 00:43:11,560 --> 00:43:14,280 Speaker 1: wanna say, a safe game. It's still gonna be violent. 840 00:43:14,400 --> 00:43:16,400 Speaker 1: It's still gonna be that kind of game. But so 841 00:43:16,600 --> 00:43:20,960 Speaker 1: is hockey. Yeah, parents telling their kids go play hockey 842 00:43:20,960 --> 00:43:23,800 Speaker 1: and said football, Look, the collisions are worth in hockey 843 00:43:23,719 --> 00:43:26,160 Speaker 1: there I wear in half the gear. But that's a 844 00:43:26,280 --> 00:43:28,840 Speaker 1: soapbox for a different day. So there you go. Hopefully 845 00:43:28,880 --> 00:43:33,520 Speaker 1: that rule will it'll be examined, and my thought is 846 00:43:34,040 --> 00:43:37,080 Speaker 1: it's gonna come down to officials are really gonna have 847 00:43:37,200 --> 00:43:42,000 Speaker 1: to legislate better when it's spearing, when it's not necessary 848 00:43:42,040 --> 00:43:43,879 Speaker 1: to go a helmet, the helmet, those kind of things, 849 00:43:44,000 --> 00:43:46,280 Speaker 1: and that's gonna be tough. But they'll have to ferret 850 00:43:46,280 --> 00:43:47,960 Speaker 1: that out. And that's what Goodell said that they will 851 00:43:48,000 --> 00:43:49,640 Speaker 1: spend the next few weeks and months trying to do 852 00:43:49,640 --> 00:43:52,319 Speaker 1: before the season starts. Big thanks to Drew's DP for 853 00:43:52,400 --> 00:43:53,960 Speaker 1: all of you for listening. Thank you so much.
