8
00:00:43,868 --> 00:00:46,668
Speaker 1: guest today. I'm assuming that's why Schreger is in his

9
00:00:47,028 --> 00:00:51,348
Speaker 1: NFL Network uniform. The Commissioner is going to be joining us.

10
00:00:51,388 --> 00:00:52,788
Speaker 1: Shrike's it gonna take you a long time to pick

11
00:00:52,828 --> 00:00:54,508
Speaker 1: out your outfit today. Are you a little bit nervous?

12
00:00:54,508 --> 00:00:58,948
Speaker 1: What's going on? It was either the green polo, the

13
00:00:59,028 --> 00:01:01,948
Speaker 1: white polo, the blue polo, or this polo. And I'm

14
00:01:01,948 --> 00:01:04,308
Speaker 1: want with this polo. I feel like a company employee

00:01:04,468 --> 00:01:07,068
Speaker 1: work at best Buy. I've got the NFL Network thing. Hello,

16
00:01:07,148 --> 00:01:09,588
Speaker 1: my name is Peter. How can I help you? Commissioner? Goodell?

17
00:01:10,028 --> 00:01:13,788
Speaker 1: Later in the show, You're looking good, everyone's looking good.

18
00:01:13,868 --> 00:01:16,948
Speaker 1: Let's get started this time for the lead block. Baby,

19
00:01:17,028 --> 00:01:21,148
Speaker 1: let's go Happy Tuesday two. Yeah, the Patriots kicked off

20
00:01:21,188 --> 00:01:24,388
Speaker 1: their OTAs yesterday, and while there's excitement for mac Jones

21
00:01:24,628 --> 00:01:27,668
Speaker 1: heading into year two, we still don't know much about

22
00:01:27,708 --> 00:01:30,948
Speaker 1: who's actually the coach in charge of that offense. No

23
00:01:30,948 --> 00:01:33,748
Speaker 1: a good deal. So for some insight directly from the

24
00:01:33,748 --> 00:01:37,428
Speaker 1: practice field, it's head to our own Mike Grd take

25
00:01:37,468 --> 00:01:40,868
Speaker 1: it away. Mac Jones says, when you come in as

26
00:01:40,908 --> 00:01:42,948
Speaker 1: a rookie, all the plates are hot, of course, a

27
00:01:43,068 --> 00:01:45,548
Speaker 1: reference to trying to join a program that has been

28
00:01:45,668 --> 00:01:48,228
Speaker 1: established in a place for many years and get up

29
00:01:48,228 --> 00:01:50,628
Speaker 1: to speed as quickly as possible. He said here because

30
00:01:50,668 --> 00:01:53,468
Speaker 1: he enters here too. It's a world of difference, he said,

31
00:01:53,508 --> 00:01:56,388
Speaker 1: not only comfort in this system. Looked with Camarerie with

32
00:01:56,508 --> 00:01:59,108
Speaker 1: his teammates. Although if you talk to teammates last year,

33
00:01:59,148 --> 00:02:01,868
Speaker 1: they said Mac did a tremendous job of bringing this

34
00:02:01,908 --> 00:02:04,908
Speaker 1: group together. Now that's for who's coaching Joe. There are

35
00:02:04,908 --> 00:02:07,188
Speaker 1: a lot of voices in his ear, including head coach

36
00:02:07,268 --> 00:02:10,148
Speaker 1: Bill Belichick. Joe's telling us, look, we know he's a

37
00:02:10,228 --> 00:02:12,548
Speaker 1: defensive minded head coach, but he knows an awful lot

38
00:02:12,588 --> 00:02:14,628
Speaker 1: about offense as well. And he said, I'm a sponge.

39
00:02:14,908 --> 00:02:17,348
Speaker 1: I'm trying to learn from everybody. The guy that it's

40
00:02:17,348 --> 00:02:19,628
Speaker 1: been most of his time with him. However, was former

41
00:02:19,668 --> 00:02:22,948
Speaker 1: Giants head coach Joe Judge, who appears to be the

42
00:02:23,068 --> 00:02:25,388
Speaker 1: quarterback coach, as he's told us he'll be working with him,

43
00:02:25,588 --> 00:02:28,068
Speaker 1: and also seem to be calling some plays, although albeit

44
00:02:28,348 --> 00:02:32,548
Speaker 1: here in OTAs. All right, thanks Mike, and thank you

45
00:02:32,788 --> 00:02:36,988
Speaker 1: lawnmower Man in the background the cape. So is that

46
00:02:36,988 --> 00:02:40,108
Speaker 1: the new duo in New England Mac and Judge? We

47
00:02:40,308 --> 00:02:43,428
Speaker 1: may or may not find out as the offseason goes on.

48
00:02:43,508 --> 00:02:46,148
Speaker 1: But how confident are you in the Patriots offense right now?

49
00:02:46,228 --> 00:02:49,508
Speaker 1: As OTAs are in full swing? Rank, I'll start with you.

50
00:02:50,388 --> 00:02:53,068
Speaker 1: You know what, I'm confident. I'm confident. I don't. I'm

51
00:02:53,108 --> 00:02:55,708
Speaker 1: not saying that it's a high powered offense. It's kind

52
00:02:55,708 --> 00:02:58,428
Speaker 1: of like when you're traveling around the country and you

53
00:02:58,588 --> 00:03:01,908
Speaker 1: stumble into one of those casual restaurants that you see

54
00:03:01,948 --> 00:03:04,748
Speaker 1: across the country. I won't give away a name here anything,

55
00:03:04,748 --> 00:03:08,228
Speaker 1: but let's just say it rhymes with dapplets or whatever. Like,

56
00:03:08,348 --> 00:03:10,708
Speaker 1: you know what you're getting with this offense. You're gonna

57
00:03:10,708 --> 00:03:13,828
Speaker 1: have a very run based offense. They do a great

58
00:03:13,908 --> 00:03:16,708
Speaker 1: job of mixing in a number of running backs, much

59
00:03:16,708 --> 00:03:20,268
Speaker 1: to the consternation of fantasy enthusiast everywhere. And then you

60
00:03:20,348 --> 00:03:23,588
Speaker 1: got Mac Jones, who's a solid quarterback. He came into

61
00:03:23,588 --> 00:03:26,788
Speaker 1: this league one of the most pro ready quarterbacks, and

62
00:03:26,868 --> 00:03:28,988
Speaker 1: he showed it last year and he led this team

63
00:03:29,308 --> 00:03:31,668
Speaker 1: to the playoffs and he did you know good, He's

64
00:03:31,668 --> 00:03:33,788
Speaker 1: a good player. I don't think that this is going

65
00:03:33,868 --> 00:03:35,708
Speaker 1: to be like a team that you're like, oh, when

66
00:03:35,708 --> 00:03:38,748
Speaker 1: I'm firing up Madden, I need to play this offense.

67
00:03:39,068 --> 00:03:40,708
Speaker 1: But I do know that they're gonna be pretty good.

68
00:03:40,748 --> 00:03:41,788
Speaker 1: You know. As a matter of fact, Let's take a

69
00:03:41,828 --> 00:03:43,748
Speaker 1: look at there. We have their depth chart. Take a

70
00:03:43,788 --> 00:03:46,348
Speaker 1: look at some of these guys. There's Mac Jones, great player,

71
00:03:46,428 --> 00:03:52,228
Speaker 1: Damien Harris, Ravandre Stevenson now again selfishly is a fantasy person.

72
00:03:52,348 --> 00:03:54,828
Speaker 1: I would love to see him step up. They also

73
00:03:54,868 --> 00:03:57,868
Speaker 1: added DeVante Parker this year. The tight ends are decent

74
00:03:58,068 --> 00:04:00,428
Speaker 1: Hunter Henry actually he's really good and John who Smith

75
00:04:00,668 --> 00:04:03,228
Speaker 1: underrated guy near the goal line. So I'm confident they'll

76
00:04:03,228 --> 00:04:05,628
Speaker 1: be good. I don't think they're gonna be top of

77
00:04:05,668 --> 00:04:11,228
Speaker 1: the card gun. Yeah a rank to your point, man,

78
00:04:11,628 --> 00:04:15,068
Speaker 1: this team is gonna be this team, right, How does

79
00:04:15,108 --> 00:04:18,508
Speaker 1: coach Belichick win football games? He doesn't matter if it's pretty,

80
00:04:18,588 --> 00:04:22,108
Speaker 1: if it's flashy, if it's a high powered offense. He's

81
00:04:22,108 --> 00:04:23,948
Speaker 1: just trying to do what he needs to do to

82
00:04:23,948 --> 00:04:26,468
Speaker 1: win games. And that's what you love about Coach Belichick.

83
00:04:26,588 --> 00:04:28,468
Speaker 1: That's what you love about the New England Patriots. Over

84
00:04:28,508 --> 00:04:31,748
Speaker 1: the years, they've explored in matchups and you look at

85
00:04:32,188 --> 00:04:35,708
Speaker 1: that list of playmakers, right, probably the number one receiver

86
00:04:35,828 --> 00:04:38,108
Speaker 1: is gonna be DeVante Parker, love him and what he's

87
00:04:38,108 --> 00:04:40,948
Speaker 1: done over the course of his career. But you look

88
00:04:40,988 --> 00:04:43,188
Speaker 1: at how they're gonna win. It's gonna be with those

89
00:04:43,228 --> 00:04:47,028
Speaker 1: tight ends and those running backs. Coach Belichick has always believed,

90
00:04:47,108 --> 00:04:49,508
Speaker 1: I'm not spending a whole lot of money to go

91
00:04:49,588 --> 00:04:52,588
Speaker 1: get elite receivers. Let me go put some really good

92
00:04:52,628 --> 00:04:55,428
Speaker 1: guys who move well in space against guys that you

93
00:04:55,508 --> 00:04:58,908
Speaker 1: don't have that covers very well. That's your linebackers and

94
00:04:59,028 --> 00:05:00,908
Speaker 1: your safeties. And so you look at John n Smith,

95
00:05:00,988 --> 00:05:03,308
Speaker 1: you look at Hunter Henry, those tight ends, you look

96
00:05:03,308 --> 00:05:07,108
Speaker 1: at Romandre Stevens that you mentioned in those running backs,

97
00:05:07,108 --> 00:05:11,068
Speaker 1: and they'll be able to be successful. But you look

98
00:05:11,068 --> 00:05:13,148
Speaker 1: at the rest of that division and just how high

99
00:05:13,268 --> 00:05:16,708
Speaker 1: power some of those offenses are starting to become Look

100
00:05:16,708 --> 00:05:19,708
Speaker 1: at what the Dolphins are doing right, all of that speed, right,

101
00:05:19,948 --> 00:05:22,148
Speaker 1: Mike McDaniel, They'll be able to run the football. They

102
00:05:22,148 --> 00:05:24,828
Speaker 1: can get some playmakers. Josh Allen, that man right there,

103
00:05:24,908 --> 00:05:27,548
Speaker 1: he's sitting at the top of that division. And so

104
00:05:27,708 --> 00:05:31,148
Speaker 1: it's just a lot of firepower in that division. So

105
00:05:31,228 --> 00:05:33,788
Speaker 1: for me to be super confident even the Jets, I can't.

106
00:05:34,108 --> 00:05:37,788
Speaker 1: I can't fail to mention the lowly Jets. They had

107
00:05:37,828 --> 00:05:40,708
Speaker 1: a home run hit in this draft, and so I

108
00:05:40,748 --> 00:05:42,868
Speaker 1: think they're gonna be a much improved team. And so

109
00:05:43,628 --> 00:05:45,908
Speaker 1: you know, I got a little bit of confidence in

110
00:05:45,948 --> 00:05:47,868
Speaker 1: New England, but I ain't got a whole lot. But

111
00:05:47,908 --> 00:05:50,188
Speaker 1: I do love me some Mac Jones. I'm gonna continue

112
00:05:50,188 --> 00:05:52,628
Speaker 1: to stand on the table for Mac Jones. He's a

113
00:05:52,708 --> 00:05:55,428
Speaker 1: kid I was totally wrong about last year. He showed

114
00:05:55,468 --> 00:05:58,988
Speaker 1: me a lot. But in this you gotta have playmakers,

115
00:05:58,988 --> 00:06:01,668
Speaker 1: and I just don't see a whole lot on that

116
00:06:01,748 --> 00:06:07,308
Speaker 1: New England roster. You're not alone, Mac Jones. Dangelo, we

117
00:06:07,348 --> 00:06:09,628
Speaker 1: had him on Good Morning Football at the Super Bowl

118
00:06:09,668 --> 00:06:11,228
Speaker 1: and you and I were sitting next to each other

119
00:06:11,268 --> 00:06:13,708
Speaker 1: and here comes Mac Jones and it's got that Howdy

120
00:06:13,748 --> 00:06:15,548
Speaker 1: duty smile and then he started kicking it with us

121
00:06:15,548 --> 00:06:18,308
Speaker 1: a little bit and we're like, there's something to this guy.

122
00:06:18,628 --> 00:06:21,508
Speaker 1: And I think that was the impression in New England too,

123
00:06:21,508 --> 00:06:23,948
Speaker 1: like what are we getting here? Within minutes, I was

124
00:06:24,028 --> 00:06:25,868
Speaker 1: told he not only went over the room, he went

125
00:06:25,908 --> 00:06:28,268
Speaker 1: over the room so much that in training camp they

126
00:06:28,268 --> 00:06:30,668
Speaker 1: were able to let go of Cam Newton because they

127
00:06:30,668 --> 00:06:32,708
Speaker 1: were like, no, Max, the guy. Max won the locker

128
00:06:32,788 --> 00:06:35,628
Speaker 1: room over. I have confidence in the Patriots because I

129
00:06:35,628 --> 00:06:38,028
Speaker 1: have confidence in Mac Jones. He worked with Tom House

130
00:06:38,108 --> 00:06:41,228
Speaker 1: this offseason, who Tom Brady worked with for years, and

131
00:06:41,228 --> 00:06:44,988
Speaker 1: he also worked with Moses Cabrero, the offensive I'm sorry,

132
00:06:44,988 --> 00:06:47,628
Speaker 1: the strength and conditioning coach, to trim up his body

133
00:06:47,668 --> 00:06:50,628
Speaker 1: and get in much better shape. He spoke about it

134
00:06:50,748 --> 00:06:52,988
Speaker 1: yesterday and said his body fat is down and he

135
00:06:53,108 --> 00:06:55,068
Speaker 1: is not the same type of body type he was

136
00:06:55,068 --> 00:06:58,148
Speaker 1: when he entered the NFL. I also know because we

137
00:06:58,188 --> 00:07:00,988
Speaker 1: saw it last year. Go to the Houston Texans game

138
00:07:01,068 --> 00:07:03,708
Speaker 1: last year, Week five, They're losing to a lowly Texans

139
00:07:03,748 --> 00:07:05,828
Speaker 1: teams like this is a game that they're just gonna

140
00:07:05,828 --> 00:07:07,468
Speaker 1: give away and it's gonna be one of those where

141
00:07:07,508 --> 00:07:09,468
Speaker 1: you're like, come on, Patriots and loose to the Texans

142
00:07:09,748 --> 00:07:11,628
Speaker 1: and Mac Jones said, get on my back. I will

143
00:07:11,708 --> 00:07:14,108
Speaker 1: lead you guys, and it was like, all right, Mac

144
00:07:14,148 --> 00:07:16,188
Speaker 1: can lead us if we need. I was actually more

145
00:07:16,228 --> 00:07:19,028
Speaker 1: impressed though, against the Cowboys. When he throws a pick

146
00:07:19,068 --> 00:07:22,148
Speaker 1: six to Treyvon Diggs. Everyone's like, all right, this is it,

147
00:07:22,188 --> 00:07:23,948
Speaker 1: this is the game. And then the very next pass

148
00:07:23,988 --> 00:07:26,508
Speaker 1: he throws this one to Kendrick Bourne. There it's a

149
00:07:26,548 --> 00:07:28,988
Speaker 1: seventy five yard touchdown pass and he got off the mat.

150
00:07:29,828 --> 00:07:32,068
Speaker 1: But maybe the most impressive thing, and I say this

151
00:07:32,108 --> 00:07:34,988
Speaker 1: with a twinkle in my eye, was at the Pro Bowl,

152
00:07:35,028 --> 00:07:37,708
Speaker 1: where still the jury was out on Mac Jones. Kenny hang,

153
00:07:37,908 --> 00:07:39,948
Speaker 1: is he one of these guys? Does he have any swag?

154
00:07:40,068 --> 00:07:42,508
Speaker 1: Can he do it? And Mac Jones and the Pro

155
00:07:42,588 --> 00:07:45,428
Speaker 1: Bowl here makes this play a little scramble. I'm looking,

156
00:07:45,468 --> 00:07:49,868
Speaker 1: I'm looking. They blow the whistle right here. But Max says, no, no, no,

157
00:07:49,868 --> 00:07:51,908
Speaker 1: I'm gonna keep on going. Not because I'm gonna keep

158
00:07:51,908 --> 00:07:54,788
Speaker 1: on running because that's what I was taught, but because

159
00:07:55,588 --> 00:07:58,588
Speaker 1: I want to do this in the end zone. Oh yeah,

160
00:07:58,588 --> 00:08:02,948
Speaker 1: oh yeah, that's the gritty. Look. We could talk about

161
00:08:02,988 --> 00:08:06,588
Speaker 1: the offensive coordinators situation, and I understand Joe Judge is

162
00:08:06,628 --> 00:08:09,228
Speaker 1: not going to be mistaken for Bill Walsh anytime soon,

163
00:08:09,308 --> 00:08:11,308
Speaker 1: and he might at some point, But if you're going

164
00:08:11,348 --> 00:08:13,668
Speaker 1: to compare him to the other offensive coordinators in the division,

165
00:08:13,748 --> 00:08:15,828
Speaker 1: I don't know what Ken Dorsey's doing up in Buffalo.

166
00:08:15,868 --> 00:08:17,988
Speaker 1: I don't know what Frank Smith down there in Miami

167
00:08:18,068 --> 00:08:19,748
Speaker 1: is doing, and I don't know what Michael Floor has

168
00:08:19,788 --> 00:08:22,228
Speaker 1: got up his sleeve. Joe Judge is no more or

169
00:08:22,308 --> 00:08:25,548
Speaker 1: less experience at the offensive cornerating position than those guys,

170
00:08:25,668 --> 00:08:27,508
Speaker 1: really when you think about the grand scheme of their

171
00:08:27,508 --> 00:08:30,868
Speaker 1: football experience. So I'm gonna say I trust him because

172
00:08:30,868 --> 00:08:33,548
Speaker 1: of Mac. He's got a better body type, he's already

173
00:08:33,588 --> 00:08:35,628
Speaker 1: proven he's done on the field, and he's got a

174
00:08:35,668 --> 00:08:38,108
Speaker 1: little bit of swag that I think we all overlooked

175
00:08:38,148 --> 00:08:40,948
Speaker 1: when he entered the league. I love that. It is

176
00:08:40,948 --> 00:08:42,908
Speaker 1: four oh eight am on the West Coast and I

177
00:08:42,948 --> 00:08:45,948
Speaker 1: am hyped over Mac Jones. I'm joining the fan club.

178
00:08:46,348 --> 00:08:48,388
Speaker 1: I met him at NFL Honors, and like you say,

179
00:08:48,388 --> 00:08:50,588
Speaker 1: he's got swag, it's like a little bit of a

180
00:08:50,668 --> 00:08:52,988
Speaker 1: dorky swag. Like he was on the red carpet. He

181
00:08:53,068 --> 00:08:56,508
Speaker 1: was so giggly. Kabe and I were laughing because he

182
00:08:56,548 --> 00:08:59,188
Speaker 1: was just like hey, like just so excited to be there,

183
00:08:59,228 --> 00:09:02,468
Speaker 1: couldn't believe his life. I am joining this fan club.

184
00:09:02,508 --> 00:09:04,788
Speaker 1: I love it. Am I confident in the Patriots off sure,

185
00:09:04,868 --> 00:09:06,908
Speaker 1: because I love this guy. He's got a little bit

186
00:09:06,948 --> 00:09:09,788
Speaker 1: more experienced under under his belt now. But you know what,

187
00:09:10,788 --> 00:09:12,988
Speaker 1: I'm not that worried about the Patriots, not because of

188
00:09:13,028 --> 00:09:15,868
Speaker 1: their offense, but because of their defense. Their defense is

189
00:09:15,908 --> 00:09:19,108
Speaker 1: the thing that held them into the season last year.

190
00:09:19,828 --> 00:09:23,908
Speaker 1: Belichick is a defensive mastermind. Okay, twenty two seasons with Belichick,

191
00:09:23,948 --> 00:09:28,828
Speaker 1: they've had a top ten defense eighteen times. That's kind

192
00:09:28,868 --> 00:09:31,308
Speaker 1: of crazy. And if you look at what happened last year,

193
00:09:31,308 --> 00:09:34,388
Speaker 1: they went on a seven game win streak, Okay, from

194
00:09:34,428 --> 00:09:38,108
Speaker 1: Week seven to thirteen. Look at what their defense did.

195
00:09:38,188 --> 00:09:41,548
Speaker 1: They were only allowing a little over ten points per game,

196
00:09:41,588 --> 00:09:44,708
Speaker 1: which was first in the NFL. Total yards per game, first,

197
00:09:44,748 --> 00:09:48,028
Speaker 1: passing yards per game alloted, second, interceptions first. These are

198
00:09:48,068 --> 00:09:50,668
Speaker 1: the guys that kept this team in it to win it.

199
00:09:50,948 --> 00:09:53,228
Speaker 1: Mac John's just needs to survive, keep on doing the gritty,

200
00:09:53,828 --> 00:09:56,468
Speaker 1: keep being hilarious. We're a part of the fan club. Now,

201
00:09:56,628 --> 00:10:02,548
Speaker 1: there you go. It's time to fire up to try

202
00:10:02,668 --> 00:10:04,988
Speaker 1: the trolls and sparks and debate with the another edition

203
00:10:05,068 --> 00:10:08,628
Speaker 1: of decade Dynamos. You see the nineties by my man

204
00:10:08,708 --> 00:10:12,108
Speaker 1: Adam Ranks. He had got Troy eight Men, Barry Sanders,

205
00:10:12,148 --> 00:10:14,588
Speaker 1: the Great Jared Rice, the Great Reggie White. I mean,

206
00:10:14,588 --> 00:10:16,748
Speaker 1: you couldn't go wrong with nobody. I ain't agree with

207
00:10:16,868 --> 00:10:19,308
Speaker 1: all of them, but you know I can't go wrong

208
00:10:19,348 --> 00:10:22,548
Speaker 1: with none of them. Hall of Famers. Every day this week,

209
00:10:22,588 --> 00:10:24,348
Speaker 1: one of us is going to present a four player

210
00:10:24,428 --> 00:10:27,908
Speaker 1: squad of the best players from a specific decade. Will

211
00:10:27,948 --> 00:10:31,788
Speaker 1: pick one quarterback, when running back, one receiver, one defensive player.

212
00:10:32,988 --> 00:10:35,348
Speaker 1: And now it's time for me to show you my

213
00:10:36,228 --> 00:10:40,068
Speaker 1: dying decade long Dynamos. And I'm going with the twenty tens.

214
00:10:40,148 --> 00:10:43,308
Speaker 1: So first I'm gonna start off with my quarterback. I

215
00:10:43,348 --> 00:10:46,548
Speaker 1: don't think it's a secret. It's the great Tom Brady.

216
00:10:46,868 --> 00:10:49,868
Speaker 1: I mean, come on, the dude won three Super Bowls.

217
00:10:49,908 --> 00:10:53,228
Speaker 1: He has considered the goat. I mean, there's nothing this

218
00:10:53,308 --> 00:10:55,788
Speaker 1: dude can't do on the football field. I competed against him,

219
00:10:55,788 --> 00:10:59,268
Speaker 1: and for the longest I said, no, it's Peyton Manning.

220
00:10:59,308 --> 00:11:01,708
Speaker 1: It's Peyton Manning. It's Peyton Manning, and then the more

221
00:11:01,748 --> 00:11:04,028
Speaker 1: and more I kept seeing time do his thing, I said,

222
00:11:04,748 --> 00:11:08,428
Speaker 1: maybe it is tom Brady as a super Bowl rings

223
00:11:08,508 --> 00:11:12,148
Speaker 1: kept compiling, and he kept winning games at the games

224
00:11:12,148 --> 00:11:15,868
Speaker 1: and division titles. At the division titles. Ain't no more debate.

225
00:11:16,188 --> 00:11:19,508
Speaker 1: It is tom Brady for me. I mean, look at

226
00:11:19,548 --> 00:11:23,068
Speaker 1: those wins. Man, a hundred and thirty eight playoff wins.

227
00:11:23,108 --> 00:11:25,028
Speaker 1: Some people don't have one hundred and thirty eight career

228
00:11:25,108 --> 00:11:28,708
Speaker 1: wins and in the regular season, and so I mean,

229
00:11:28,788 --> 00:11:32,708
Speaker 1: tom Brady is the standard at the quarterback position. So

230
00:11:33,068 --> 00:11:35,428
Speaker 1: moving right along, I think everybody knew it was gonna

231
00:11:35,468 --> 00:11:37,588
Speaker 1: be Tom Brady. So my running back it was a

232
00:11:37,588 --> 00:11:39,268
Speaker 1: little bit of a debate in my head. I was

233
00:11:39,308 --> 00:11:41,628
Speaker 1: going back and forth guys, you know, because I played

234
00:11:41,628 --> 00:11:44,468
Speaker 1: against these guys. That's what made my list a little

235
00:11:44,508 --> 00:11:48,228
Speaker 1: bit difficult to kind of compile, right because some guys

236
00:11:48,268 --> 00:11:51,148
Speaker 1: says success not necessarily against me, but against the rest

237
00:11:51,148 --> 00:11:53,388
Speaker 1: of the league. But I gotta go with my man

238
00:11:53,428 --> 00:11:56,028
Speaker 1: Adrian Peterson at the running back position. And I know

239
00:11:56,108 --> 00:11:58,308
Speaker 1: some guys gonna say, what, you didn't go with my

240
00:11:58,388 --> 00:12:01,228
Speaker 1: man Marshawn Lynchy, didn't go with Frank Gore. I could

241
00:12:01,228 --> 00:12:04,348
Speaker 1: have went with any of those guys. But Adrian Peterson, man,

242
00:12:04,468 --> 00:12:06,628
Speaker 1: he was a machine. I mean, it was just he's

243
00:12:06,668 --> 00:12:10,148
Speaker 1: a home running hitter. Any time he touched the football,

244
00:12:10,948 --> 00:12:13,028
Speaker 1: he had the chance to take it to distance and

245
00:12:13,108 --> 00:12:17,788
Speaker 1: just offer power, offer speed. We always joke that AP

246
00:12:17,908 --> 00:12:20,348
Speaker 1: couldn't catch the football. If he could actually catch the

247
00:12:20,388 --> 00:12:23,548
Speaker 1: football out the backfield, I mean, who knows what he

248
00:12:23,588 --> 00:12:26,508
Speaker 1: would have been able to do. But I mean when

249
00:12:26,508 --> 00:12:28,588
Speaker 1: you can run it like that, who needs to throw him?

250
00:12:28,588 --> 00:12:30,988
Speaker 1: The football just handed to him. So my running back

251
00:12:31,108 --> 00:12:34,708
Speaker 1: is the great Adrian Peterson, aka a d all day.

252
00:12:34,828 --> 00:12:37,748
Speaker 1: That means the man goes all day long, doesn't matter.

253
00:12:37,788 --> 00:12:40,148
Speaker 1: You see who else could have made that list? Chris Johnson,

254
00:12:40,228 --> 00:12:46,948
Speaker 1: Jamal Charles, Derek Henry. I'm sorry. That's sixty plus yard runs.

255
00:12:46,948 --> 00:12:49,268
Speaker 1: I'm sorry. That's where that home running hitting threat comes from.

256
00:12:49,308 --> 00:12:51,908
Speaker 1: Adrian Peterson. Like I said, he touches it anywhere on

257
00:12:51,948 --> 00:12:56,028
Speaker 1: the football field. Home run hitter, my receiver. I'm going

258
00:12:56,108 --> 00:12:59,268
Speaker 1: with a B again. I was kind of torn right

259
00:12:59,308 --> 00:13:02,348
Speaker 1: because Antonio Brown hasn't been the best teammate. But it

260
00:13:02,388 --> 00:13:05,148
Speaker 1: ain't about that. It's about can you put stats up?

261
00:13:05,388 --> 00:13:07,428
Speaker 1: Can you go out here and help us win games?

262
00:13:07,748 --> 00:13:11,548
Speaker 1: And through the twenty tens. I mean, there was nothing

263
00:13:11,548 --> 00:13:14,828
Speaker 1: Antonio Brown couldn't do on the football field. I mean,

264
00:13:15,228 --> 00:13:17,308
Speaker 1: I think the thing that putting him over the top

265
00:13:17,348 --> 00:13:20,628
Speaker 1: for me was the four All Pro selections. Right, You

266
00:13:20,708 --> 00:13:23,788
Speaker 1: got Julio Jones in that debate, Calvin Johnson. None of

267
00:13:23,788 --> 00:13:27,428
Speaker 1: those guys had four All Pro selections towards the end

268
00:13:27,468 --> 00:13:30,028
Speaker 1: of the you know, the two thousand and tens. You know,

269
00:13:30,068 --> 00:13:32,308
Speaker 1: ab kind of got into some trouble head to move

270
00:13:32,308 --> 00:13:34,268
Speaker 1: around a couple of different teams, But it was no

271
00:13:34,388 --> 00:13:37,268
Speaker 1: denying when Antonio Brown was on the football field. You

272
00:13:37,428 --> 00:13:40,268
Speaker 1: had to know where he was at all times. No

273
00:13:40,308 --> 00:13:43,428
Speaker 1: matter how big the dude is, he got it done.

274
00:13:43,508 --> 00:13:48,188
Speaker 1: Just a word. Horse. And then my defender, my defender,

275
00:13:48,228 --> 00:13:50,468
Speaker 1: I was a little bit, you know, scratching my head

276
00:13:50,508 --> 00:13:52,588
Speaker 1: because I wanted to go with the great Aaron Donald.

277
00:13:52,628 --> 00:13:54,228
Speaker 1: We know what he's been able to do, but ad

278
00:13:54,588 --> 00:13:56,788
Speaker 1: he didn't get into the league to twenty fourteen. So

279
00:13:56,828 --> 00:13:58,988
Speaker 1: I'm going with a guy whose credentials go a little

280
00:13:59,028 --> 00:14:02,748
Speaker 1: bit longer, and that's JJ Watts. You gotta remember, guys,

281
00:14:03,428 --> 00:14:08,028
Speaker 1: was Aaron Donald, there was JJ Watt. Yeah, three time

282
00:14:08,268 --> 00:14:11,788
Speaker 1: Defensive Player of the Year. I mean when you think

283
00:14:11,788 --> 00:14:14,668
Speaker 1: about the two thousand and tens, guys, who did it

284
00:14:14,708 --> 00:14:18,948
Speaker 1: better than JJ Watt. Nobody. I mean, he's single handily

285
00:14:19,268 --> 00:14:22,148
Speaker 1: took over games. What he meant to that team in Houston,

286
00:14:22,188 --> 00:14:24,028
Speaker 1: what he meant to the city when they were going

287
00:14:24,068 --> 00:14:26,988
Speaker 1: through certain things, the pillar he was in the community,

288
00:14:27,308 --> 00:14:30,548
Speaker 1: you know, all of those things encompass who JJ Watt was.

289
00:14:30,588 --> 00:14:33,628
Speaker 1: I mean, just a freaking nature, unblockable. I didn't know

290
00:14:33,668 --> 00:14:36,228
Speaker 1: who to dude was coming out of college in Wisconsin,

291
00:14:36,508 --> 00:14:39,588
Speaker 1: but he got into this league and just reaked having

292
00:14:39,708 --> 00:14:42,468
Speaker 1: You see those tablets for losses ranked one, sacks, tie

293
00:14:42,468 --> 00:14:47,388
Speaker 1: for two, quarterback hits, all Pro selections five, All Pro selections,

294
00:14:47,388 --> 00:14:52,148
Speaker 1: not Pro Bowls, guys, All pros guaranteed a gold jacket

295
00:14:52,228 --> 00:14:54,348
Speaker 1: right there. Everybody on my list, it's got a gold

296
00:14:54,388 --> 00:14:56,468
Speaker 1: jacket coming. I don't know AB is kind of questioning

297
00:14:56,508 --> 00:14:58,788
Speaker 1: you guys. I told y'all he kind of, you know,

298
00:14:59,028 --> 00:15:00,668
Speaker 1: got into a little bit of trouble. Let's look at

299
00:15:00,668 --> 00:15:02,708
Speaker 1: my list one more time. So we got the great

300
00:15:02,748 --> 00:15:07,628
Speaker 1: Tim Brady, we got the great Adrian Peterson, Antonio Brown

301
00:15:07,748 --> 00:15:10,788
Speaker 1: another great win, and then JJ Watt. All these guys

302
00:15:10,828 --> 00:15:14,828
Speaker 1: should have bus in camp at some point, what do

303
00:15:14,868 --> 00:15:20,268
Speaker 1: you guys think. I would argue that Calvin Johnson was

304
00:15:20,308 --> 00:15:23,828
Speaker 1: the most dominant wide receiver maybe of all time when

305
00:15:23,828 --> 00:15:25,788
Speaker 1: he was on the field, and I can make the argument,

306
00:15:25,828 --> 00:15:28,108
Speaker 1: but you start listing Antonio Brown's all pros if you

307
00:15:28,148 --> 00:15:31,628
Speaker 1: want to say, over the span of the entire decade, yes,

308
00:15:31,868 --> 00:15:35,188
Speaker 1: but as far as impact in the league, I would

309
00:15:35,188 --> 00:15:38,428
Speaker 1: go Calvin over Antonio Brown as the best wide receiver

310
00:15:38,548 --> 00:15:40,828
Speaker 1: of that decade. But we're splitting hairs here at D'Angelo.

311
00:15:41,108 --> 00:15:43,148
Speaker 1: You can't go wrong, And honestly, the JJ Watt one,

312
00:15:43,148 --> 00:15:46,268
Speaker 1: I thought you were going Aaron Donald three Defensive Player

313
00:15:46,308 --> 00:15:49,308
Speaker 1: of the Year awards in four years. I can't question that.

314
00:15:49,388 --> 00:15:51,428
Speaker 1: I gotta go with JJ Watt. Also, it's a pretty

315
00:15:51,468 --> 00:15:54,068
Speaker 1: good point. Aaron Donald might have the longer career and

316
00:15:54,188 --> 00:15:57,268
Speaker 1: might do more over the next few seasons, but JJ

317
00:15:57,388 --> 00:15:59,908
Speaker 1: Watt over that decade was the best defensive player in

318
00:15:59,948 --> 00:16:03,548
Speaker 1: my eyes as well. Yeah, it's funny because a couple

319
00:16:03,588 --> 00:16:06,388
Speaker 1: of years ago I had written an article for NFL

320
00:16:06,468 --> 00:16:10,828
Speaker 1: dot com about how dominant Antonio Brown was and perhaps

321
00:16:10,828 --> 00:16:13,908
Speaker 1: he should be considered you know, that number two wide

322
00:16:13,948 --> 00:16:17,908
Speaker 1: receiver behind Jerry Rice. It always seems like the argument

323
00:16:17,988 --> 00:16:21,388
Speaker 1: like obviously Jerry Rice being the goat who was number two.

324
00:16:21,428 --> 00:16:23,828
Speaker 1: But I think over the last couple of years, I've

325
00:16:23,828 --> 00:16:27,428
Speaker 1: really started to come around on Calvin Johnson. And funny enough,

326
00:16:27,828 --> 00:16:31,268
Speaker 1: like what Matt Stafford did last season with the La

327
00:16:31,388 --> 00:16:35,068
Speaker 1: Rams is now really starting to cement with me, like

328
00:16:35,148 --> 00:16:38,228
Speaker 1: maybe maybe the Lions were kind of holding these guys

329
00:16:38,268 --> 00:16:41,788
Speaker 1: back a little bit. Like and even with that being said,

330
00:16:42,548 --> 00:16:46,268
Speaker 1: he nearly had two thousand receiving yards in a season

331
00:16:46,388 --> 00:16:48,268
Speaker 1: and you look at you know, and so now I'm

332
00:16:48,268 --> 00:16:49,788
Speaker 1: starting to really come around. And by the way, and

333
00:16:49,828 --> 00:16:53,788
Speaker 1: the thing with Aaron Donald two, I get so sick

334
00:16:53,828 --> 00:16:56,988
Speaker 1: to my stomach when I see Aaron Donald. Now you

335
00:16:57,068 --> 00:16:59,388
Speaker 1: might not know this, I'm a Bears fan. I was

336
00:16:59,428 --> 00:17:02,548
Speaker 1: at Radio City Music Hall the night he was drafted,

337
00:17:02,908 --> 00:17:06,588
Speaker 1: and the Mocks had the Bears taking Aaron Donald and

338
00:17:06,588 --> 00:17:08,908
Speaker 1: it was a fade to complete and you're like, I'm

339
00:17:08,948 --> 00:17:11,188
Speaker 1: sitting there, and then all of a sudden, the Rams,

340
00:17:11,188 --> 00:17:14,148
Speaker 1: who had Bobby Quinn, who had Chris Long didn't even

341
00:17:14,148 --> 00:17:18,188
Speaker 1: need a defensive lineman, stole Aaron Donald, and uh, you know,

342
00:17:18,228 --> 00:17:20,428
Speaker 1: the rest has been history. And by the way, how

343
00:17:20,548 --> 00:17:23,388
Speaker 1: is he the thirteenth pick in that draft. I don't

344
00:17:23,388 --> 00:17:26,388
Speaker 1: think people talk about this enough. He dominated the Senior

345
00:17:26,428 --> 00:17:30,828
Speaker 1: Bowl too. Oh it's crazy. Dominated the senior ball. Got

346
00:17:30,828 --> 00:17:33,748
Speaker 1: that Senior Bowl. He was by far the best player.

347
00:17:33,028 --> 00:17:36,748
Speaker 1: He was a second first round pick for the Rams.

348
00:17:36,788 --> 00:17:40,228
Speaker 1: They took Jason Brown's second overall. That's right, that's right,

349
00:17:41,508 --> 00:17:45,388
Speaker 1: Still better, Still depressed about it? Uh? No, notes, great list.

350
00:17:45,548 --> 00:17:47,468
Speaker 1: J J. Watt has just been doing it so well

351
00:17:47,508 --> 00:17:49,628
Speaker 1: for so long. He's incredible. Tom Brady is just going

352
00:17:49,708 --> 00:17:53,268
Speaker 1: to be It's gonna take up the next decade, this decade,

353
00:17:53,348 --> 00:17:56,308
Speaker 1: the next decade, all of the decades. Great list. Love it.

354
00:17:58,988 --> 00:18:00,788
Speaker 1: Here's my list one more time. And let me you know,

355
00:18:01,068 --> 00:18:04,148
Speaker 1: just to to to Peter's point, the reason, you know,

356
00:18:04,188 --> 00:18:07,228
Speaker 1: I didn't go with Calvin, I kind of went back

357
00:18:07,268 --> 00:18:10,668
Speaker 1: to playing against these guys, right, not only the numbers,

358
00:18:10,668 --> 00:18:14,348
Speaker 1: but playing against these guys and for some reason, big

359
00:18:14,388 --> 00:18:18,228
Speaker 1: receivers I always had success. What I never really had

360
00:18:18,268 --> 00:18:21,308
Speaker 1: a problem with it was those little you know, those

361
00:18:21,388 --> 00:18:24,508
Speaker 1: legitibug guys right then Tonio Browns and Steve Smith's that

362
00:18:24,588 --> 00:18:27,508
Speaker 1: gave me problems in man a Tonio Brown. But it

363
00:18:27,988 --> 00:18:29,348
Speaker 1: wasn't a dude who got in and out of them

364
00:18:29,348 --> 00:18:32,308
Speaker 1: breaks better, better, or quicker than a B. So that's

365
00:18:32,348 --> 00:18:35,268
Speaker 1: why you know, just a little background info on why

366
00:18:35,308 --> 00:18:38,948
Speaker 1: I took Ap over Calvin. There you go, Well, got

367
00:18:39,028 --> 00:18:42,108
Speaker 1: all right. Up. Next, we're drafting teams made up of

368
00:18:42,148 --> 00:18:45,148
Speaker 1: the fastest players in NFL history. Which one of us

369
00:18:45,148 --> 00:18:48,868
Speaker 1: will pick? Leccia who's got the first round pick? Who

370
00:18:49,428 --> 00:18:59,508
Speaker 1: find not? Next, don't go anyway. In honor of having

371
00:18:59,588 --> 00:19:03,028
Speaker 1: D'Angelo Hall, one of the fastest corners in NFL history

372
00:19:03,188 --> 00:19:05,468
Speaker 1: on our show, we thought we do a segment called

373
00:19:05,588 --> 00:19:09,908
Speaker 1: rough Draft where we could assemble our fastest teams possible

374
00:19:10,028 --> 00:19:12,228
Speaker 1: and play GM for a day. We're going to do

375
00:19:12,388 --> 00:19:15,268
Speaker 1: a draft and each one of us is going to

376
00:19:15,388 --> 00:19:19,468
Speaker 1: end up with three players each and the category is

377
00:19:20,188 --> 00:19:23,708
Speaker 1: fastest players in NFL history. We'll then toss it to Twitter.

378
00:19:23,748 --> 00:19:26,108
Speaker 1: You will tell us who has the best team, who

379
00:19:26,148 --> 00:19:29,748
Speaker 1: we left off and because well she woke up at

380
00:19:29,788 --> 00:19:33,668
Speaker 1: two am and commuted to the Sofi Stadium studio, Rachel

381
00:19:33,668 --> 00:19:36,108
Speaker 1: Bonetta will get the first pick, and then we will

382
00:19:36,148 --> 00:19:40,268
Speaker 1: go D'Angelo Adam rank that myself will go snake style.

383
00:19:40,308 --> 00:19:42,628
Speaker 1: I'll double up and we'll go backwards. But Rachel, why

384
00:19:42,628 --> 00:19:45,068
Speaker 1: don't you kick us off the fastest player in NFL history.

385
00:19:45,108 --> 00:19:48,708
Speaker 1: You have the first pick. Who you got? D'Angelo wanted

386
00:19:48,748 --> 00:19:51,628
Speaker 1: to train for this pick. D'Angelo, you're gonna offer me

387
00:19:51,668 --> 00:19:57,588
Speaker 1: anything good or no. I am going obviously. TYRENK Hill,

388
00:19:57,828 --> 00:20:01,628
Speaker 1: the man's nickname is the sheetah okay. He has been

389
00:20:01,668 --> 00:20:05,628
Speaker 1: consistently the fastest player in the NFL since next Gen

390
00:20:05,828 --> 00:20:10,548
Speaker 1: stats even started. He is on an entirely different plane

391
00:20:10,628 --> 00:20:12,668
Speaker 1: than everybody else in the league. Right now. I am

392
00:20:12,668 --> 00:20:14,308
Speaker 1: so excited to see what he does this here. He

393
00:20:14,628 --> 00:20:19,108
Speaker 1: is quick. That is my pick. Der Rachel, I see,

394
00:20:19,148 --> 00:20:22,188
Speaker 1: I see. You know what, Go ahead and start my clock.

395
00:20:22,308 --> 00:20:24,348
Speaker 1: I might even have to do a little something something

396
00:20:24,388 --> 00:20:26,948
Speaker 1: just to mess with y'all. You know, since you go

397
00:20:27,668 --> 00:20:30,788
Speaker 1: offense and receiver, I'm gonna go. I might take all

398
00:20:30,988 --> 00:20:34,468
Speaker 1: defensive guys because I know we've done. But you know

399
00:20:34,548 --> 00:20:36,628
Speaker 1: I'm talking a little too much. My first pick is

400
00:20:36,628 --> 00:20:40,748
Speaker 1: gonna go to Daryl Green. Let's get it. Whoa yeah,

401
00:20:41,028 --> 00:20:44,028
Speaker 1: my first leg. I don't even need to say nothing,

402
00:20:44,028 --> 00:20:46,828
Speaker 1: but Daryl Green. Everybody know how fast he is. Go ahead,

403
00:20:46,828 --> 00:20:50,628
Speaker 1: who's next? I'm gonna be next. I'm gonna say my

404
00:20:50,668 --> 00:20:53,068
Speaker 1: picking media Devin Hester, and I'm gonna use the rest

405
00:20:53,148 --> 00:20:56,028
Speaker 1: of my time to address the Hall of Fame voters,

406
00:20:56,108 --> 00:20:59,108
Speaker 1: because it is an absolute disgrace that you did not

407
00:20:59,228 --> 00:21:02,388
Speaker 1: put the greatest return man of all time into the

408
00:21:02,428 --> 00:21:04,468
Speaker 1: Hall of Fame. And I want you to wreck to

409
00:21:04,508 --> 00:21:07,388
Speaker 1: fly that this season. He deserves to be. He is

410
00:21:07,428 --> 00:21:11,188
Speaker 1: a game changer, like he almost single handedly won a

411
00:21:11,348 --> 00:21:14,908
Speaker 1: Super Bowl for the Bears. Okay from the special teams,

412
00:21:14,948 --> 00:21:19,708
Speaker 1: but people feared him. So give me Devin Hester. It's

413
00:21:19,708 --> 00:21:22,108
Speaker 1: a good use of your twenty seconds. I will not

414
00:21:22,268 --> 00:21:25,228
Speaker 1: need my full forty. I am so happy to have

415
00:21:25,308 --> 00:21:27,948
Speaker 1: two picks right here, and these two players should go

416
00:21:27,988 --> 00:21:31,508
Speaker 1: hand in hand because they did things that very few

417
00:21:31,588 --> 00:21:34,428
Speaker 1: human beings have ever done. They played baseball and football.

418
00:21:34,468 --> 00:21:37,508
Speaker 1: I want them both. With my first pick, I will

419
00:21:37,548 --> 00:21:42,508
Speaker 1: take prime. Give me Dion Sanders with my first first

420
00:21:42,588 --> 00:21:45,028
Speaker 1: round pick here, and then with my second round pick,

421
00:21:45,068 --> 00:21:48,068
Speaker 1: you can start the clock again. Give me the single

422
00:21:48,268 --> 00:21:53,588
Speaker 1: greatest athlete to ever step on a gridiron. Give me

423
00:21:53,668 --> 00:21:56,988
Speaker 1: Bo Jackson. I've got Dion Sanders and Bo Jackson on

424
00:21:57,108 --> 00:22:01,708
Speaker 1: my team. Let's that Bo Jackson ran a four two

425
00:22:01,868 --> 00:22:04,708
Speaker 1: nine forty. That's what they said in his thirty four Already,

426
00:22:04,748 --> 00:22:07,228
Speaker 1: I don't know there was no combine back then, there's

427
00:22:07,228 --> 00:22:09,228
Speaker 1: no real clock, but I will take it before the

428
00:22:09,308 --> 00:22:13,388
Speaker 1: hip injury, Bow and Dion Rank. Come on, I can't

429
00:22:13,388 --> 00:22:16,988
Speaker 1: go wrong. You can't get both of those picks. And

430
00:22:17,068 --> 00:22:19,028
Speaker 1: since we're gonna throw this out, since we're gonna throw

431
00:22:19,068 --> 00:22:21,228
Speaker 1: this out to Twitter, I'm gonna I'm gonna play to

432
00:22:21,308 --> 00:22:24,148
Speaker 1: my hometown crowd. I'm gonna be like CM Punk, trying

433
00:22:24,148 --> 00:22:26,468
Speaker 1: to just I'm just gonna try to win Chicago and

434
00:22:26,548 --> 00:22:28,948
Speaker 1: not worry about anything else. So I'm gonna take Willie Gould,

435
00:22:29,148 --> 00:22:32,468
Speaker 1: who was an Olympic Quali fire would have been in

436
00:22:32,548 --> 00:22:36,308
Speaker 1: the Olympics. I think that there was the boycott or whatever,

437
00:22:36,628 --> 00:22:38,708
Speaker 1: but clearly one of the fastest guys, one of the

438
00:22:38,748 --> 00:22:42,188
Speaker 1: most overlooked guys from that eighty five Bears team, which

439
00:22:42,228 --> 00:22:44,988
Speaker 1: by the way, was the top offense as well. I

440
00:22:45,068 --> 00:22:47,308
Speaker 1: know their defense was great, but their offense was good

441
00:22:47,348 --> 00:22:52,188
Speaker 1: as well. All Right, all right, I like that one.

442
00:22:52,228 --> 00:22:53,988
Speaker 1: I like that. No one's a sleeper peak, but he

443
00:22:54,068 --> 00:22:57,548
Speaker 1: definitely got some speed. By the way, Daryl Green actually

444
00:22:57,548 --> 00:23:00,108
Speaker 1: beat Carl Lewis in a race in high school, so

445
00:23:00,188 --> 00:23:03,708
Speaker 1: go check that. Okay, that's our fast But also I'm

446
00:23:03,748 --> 00:23:05,628
Speaker 1: gonna go. I'm I'm gonna go back. So this pick,

447
00:23:05,708 --> 00:23:09,948
Speaker 1: I'm going with Alan Rosson two thousand and one NFL

448
00:23:10,068 --> 00:23:13,748
Speaker 1: fastest man. Dude can move, Wow, don't check the film

449
00:23:13,908 --> 00:23:17,908
Speaker 1: return as well. Ten point oh one hundred meters in

450
00:23:18,108 --> 00:23:21,908
Speaker 1: high school qualify for the Olympics. I'm sorry, go ahead,

451
00:23:21,948 --> 00:23:27,628
Speaker 1: somebody else can go. Strags already one. Shrags already won this.

452
00:23:27,668 --> 00:23:30,188
Speaker 1: So I'm just gonna pick guys that I liked. Get going,

453
00:23:30,868 --> 00:23:36,228
Speaker 1: No we indeed Danny did. I'm going Raheem most certain listen. Okay,

454
00:23:36,308 --> 00:23:38,628
Speaker 1: he missed most of last season with a knee and

455
00:23:38,708 --> 00:23:41,428
Speaker 1: dree Okay, I know that, but let's not forget what

456
00:23:41,588 --> 00:23:45,148
Speaker 1: he has shown us before. According to NFL next Jen Staff,

457
00:23:45,148 --> 00:23:47,748
Speaker 1: where he moster is the fastest player in the twenty

458
00:23:47,828 --> 00:23:51,788
Speaker 1: twenty season. He had an eighty and seventy six yard touchdown,

459
00:23:52,268 --> 00:23:56,228
Speaker 1: twenty three and twenty two miles per hour Week one

460
00:23:56,308 --> 00:23:59,028
Speaker 1: and two, just right off the bat. He was speedy. Okay,

461
00:23:59,028 --> 00:24:01,188
Speaker 1: So that's am I the next pick as well. I'm

462
00:24:01,228 --> 00:24:07,148
Speaker 1: also going, yeah, Jonathan Taylor. Love JT. But you don't

463
00:24:07,188 --> 00:24:10,188
Speaker 1: always think speed. You don't always think speed with Jonathan

464
00:24:10,188 --> 00:24:12,828
Speaker 1: Taylor because he's a powerful runner, but he gave us

465
00:24:12,908 --> 00:24:17,868
Speaker 1: three out of the top five fastest touchdowns this past year.

466
00:24:18,108 --> 00:24:20,628
Speaker 1: I'm going JT. I just want guys that I like. Okay,

467
00:24:20,668 --> 00:24:26,868
Speaker 1: this is my team. Nobody judge it except for Twitter. Okay, okay,

468
00:24:26,908 --> 00:24:28,548
Speaker 1: And I might have been wrong. I said two thousand

469
00:24:28,588 --> 00:24:31,108
Speaker 1: and one NFL's fastest man for Alan Rosson. He's actually

470
00:24:31,108 --> 00:24:34,988
Speaker 1: two thousand four NFL's fastest man. And my next pick

471
00:24:35,068 --> 00:24:37,388
Speaker 1: is gonna be and he was two thousand and five

472
00:24:37,588 --> 00:24:40,988
Speaker 1: NFL's fastest man. And that's yours truly. Come on, man,

473
00:24:41,588 --> 00:24:44,308
Speaker 1: if you're talking about fast guys, I have to put

474
00:24:44,428 --> 00:24:46,908
Speaker 1: myself in it. I was recorded at a four one

475
00:24:47,028 --> 00:24:50,908
Speaker 1: five record at Virginia Tech beat Michael Vick. You know,

476
00:24:50,908 --> 00:24:52,268
Speaker 1: I only got a four to three one at the

477
00:24:52,308 --> 00:24:54,628
Speaker 1: combat because I wasn't supposed to run, but I ran anyway.

478
00:24:54,628 --> 00:24:57,788
Speaker 1: I shouldn't have ran, but you know, neither here nor there,

479
00:24:57,948 --> 00:25:03,068
Speaker 1: so I'm the last leg there very we're all going

480
00:25:03,068 --> 00:25:05,908
Speaker 1: to We're all just going super personal. I'm leaning all

481
00:25:05,948 --> 00:25:08,548
Speaker 1: the way into this. I could have gone bullet Bob Hayes,

482
00:25:09,028 --> 00:25:12,068
Speaker 1: Calvin Brandt, or Clifford Branch excuse me, would have been

483
00:25:12,068 --> 00:25:13,908
Speaker 1: a great choice as well. Why listen, I'm gonna go

484
00:25:13,948 --> 00:25:16,668
Speaker 1: Teams Chicago. I don't throw Walter Payton in there. I

485
00:25:16,788 --> 00:25:19,428
Speaker 1: know that the Bears fans, they're not used to a

486
00:25:19,468 --> 00:25:22,468
Speaker 1: Bears fan being on this show, so I want them

487
00:25:22,508 --> 00:25:24,988
Speaker 1: to all lean into this and support my team. Whether

488
00:25:25,028 --> 00:25:26,868
Speaker 1: you believe it or not, it just vote for me

489
00:25:26,948 --> 00:25:30,788
Speaker 1: on Twitter. I don't know if you're being ironic or not.

490
00:25:31,188 --> 00:25:34,548
Speaker 1: Kay Adams reps Angles. I was Chargers, the Saint. Just

491
00:25:35,308 --> 00:25:38,988

519
00:27:18,788 --> 00:27:22,068
Speaker 1: Bears fans that you did this. Listen. I listen like

520
00:27:22,108 --> 00:27:25,148
Speaker 1: how Bret Hart used to appeal to the Canadian audiences

521
00:27:25,148 --> 00:27:27,508
Speaker 1: in the WWE in the nineteen nineties. I'm doing the

522
00:27:27,588 --> 00:27:30,588
Speaker 1: same thing here. I'm playing to the bass I'm going

523
00:27:30,588 --> 00:27:33,428
Speaker 1: with the hometown crowd. I might not be over in

524
00:27:33,548 --> 00:27:38,628
Speaker 1: Tennessee or or Tampa Bay or whatever, but in Chicago,

525
00:27:38,828 --> 00:27:40,748
Speaker 1: the huge pop hits and I think they're gonna pull

526
00:27:40,748 --> 00:27:47,628
Speaker 1: me home. And when we throw this to Twitter, all right, well,

527
00:27:47,628 --> 00:27:50,268
Speaker 1: thanks a lot, Peter. I am here with Commissioner Roger Goodell,

528
00:27:50,348 --> 00:27:53,348
Speaker 1: and you know, Commissioner, one the big things here for

529
00:27:53,348 --> 00:27:57,108
Speaker 1: the spring meeting is this accelerator program for potential head

530
00:27:57,108 --> 00:28:00,028
Speaker 1: coaches or future gms and executives. I just want to

531
00:28:00,068 --> 00:28:02,428
Speaker 1: get your initial feedback. We've called you a day at

532
00:28:02,428 --> 00:28:05,268
Speaker 1: this and just the initial feedback act that you've heard.

533
00:28:06,588 --> 00:28:11,188
Speaker 1: The feedback has been incredibly positive from both the participants

534
00:28:11,228 --> 00:28:14,828
Speaker 1: in the club side. I think everyone has had an

535
00:28:14,828 --> 00:28:18,108
Speaker 1: opportunity to get to know one another. They've had an

536
00:28:18,108 --> 00:28:22,868
Speaker 1: opportunity to sort of get new information and help them

537
00:28:22,908 --> 00:28:25,428
Speaker 1: as far as managing their career. On the participants side,

538
00:28:25,788 --> 00:28:29,068
Speaker 1: but also the club side. We have spent more time

539
00:28:29,068 --> 00:28:32,908
Speaker 1: talking about diversity, equity inclusion in the league than any

540
00:28:32,948 --> 00:28:35,868
Speaker 1: other matter over the last five years. And I think

541
00:28:35,948 --> 00:28:39,268
Speaker 1: the progress. You know, we all know that we want

542
00:28:39,268 --> 00:28:41,348
Speaker 1: to be in a better place, but I think we're

543
00:28:41,348 --> 00:28:44,588
Speaker 1: getting there so you know, the feedback from the ownership side.

544
00:28:44,668 --> 00:28:46,028
Speaker 1: I mean, this has been a big thing. People have

545
00:28:46,108 --> 00:28:49,108
Speaker 1: kind of pushed something like this for years to get

546
00:28:49,188 --> 00:28:52,668
Speaker 1: potential coaches or executives in front of these owners. What

547
00:28:52,868 --> 00:28:55,268
Speaker 1: finally pushed things over the edge to make that happen,

548
00:28:55,548 --> 00:28:59,228
Speaker 1: you know, Steve, it really came from a meeting we

549
00:28:59,308 --> 00:29:05,108
Speaker 1: had back at the Combine with candidate for head coach

550
00:29:05,148 --> 00:29:08,548
Speaker 1: and general manager and current head coaches and general managers,

551
00:29:08,828 --> 00:29:11,668
Speaker 1: and it was clear to me that it was something

552
00:29:11,708 --> 00:29:14,188
Speaker 1: that we needed to do, and we set our sights

553
00:29:14,228 --> 00:29:16,788
Speaker 1: on doing that. We didn't feel we could execute that

554
00:29:16,868 --> 00:29:19,628
Speaker 1: at the March meeting as effectively as doing it here

555
00:29:19,628 --> 00:29:22,148
Speaker 1: at the main meeting. And I think this time period

556
00:29:22,228 --> 00:29:24,588
Speaker 1: is actually pretty good. Some of the coaches are missing

557
00:29:25,028 --> 00:29:27,028
Speaker 1: opportunities to be back with their clubs, so I know

558
00:29:27,068 --> 00:29:29,628
Speaker 1: they're anxious about that, but this is really a chance

559
00:29:29,668 --> 00:29:32,868
Speaker 1: for them to be able to focus in look at

560
00:29:32,988 --> 00:29:34,268
Speaker 1: some of the things that are going on in the

561
00:29:34,348 --> 00:29:37,148
Speaker 1: league and get better educated about that on many side

562
00:29:37,388 --> 00:29:41,708
Speaker 1: and many of the sides, but also we're seeing it

563
00:29:42,148 --> 00:29:45,308
Speaker 1: very clearly from the club standpoint. They have time, they

564
00:29:45,348 --> 00:29:48,148
Speaker 1: have an ability to focus on this, and I think

565
00:29:48,148 --> 00:29:50,348
Speaker 1: that's really a positive outcome for us. I think some

566
00:29:50,428 --> 00:29:53,188
Speaker 1: of the concern coming into this would be how engaged

567
00:29:53,188 --> 00:29:56,588
Speaker 1: would the teams be. Well, we saw the reception last night.

568
00:29:57,308 --> 00:30:00,748
Speaker 1: Every team was here, like every owner, all the leadership

569
00:30:00,828 --> 00:30:03,708
Speaker 1: was here. What about that from your perspective, because just

570
00:30:03,748 --> 00:30:06,628
Speaker 1: in watching some of it, these owners were walking up

571
00:30:06,668 --> 00:30:09,948
Speaker 1: to the candidates and engaging. They weren't waiting to be

572
00:30:10,428 --> 00:30:12,788
Speaker 1: catered too, so to speak. Yeah, we had We had

573
00:30:12,788 --> 00:30:15,028
Speaker 1: a sort of a conversation that we do don't want

574
00:30:15,028 --> 00:30:17,228
Speaker 1: this to be like a junior high school dance where

575
00:30:17,268 --> 00:30:19,428
Speaker 1: you know there are people on each side. We wanted

576
00:30:19,428 --> 00:30:21,908
Speaker 1: people to be engaging with one another and be able

577
00:30:21,948 --> 00:30:25,228
Speaker 1: to have that kind of conversation. And I agree with do.

578
00:30:25,388 --> 00:30:27,908
Speaker 1: That was very You saw it on both sides. People

579
00:30:27,948 --> 00:30:30,948
Speaker 1: were willing to go over talk to one another, People

580
00:30:30,988 --> 00:30:33,908
Speaker 1: got to meet people. If people were I had several

581
00:30:33,948 --> 00:30:35,548
Speaker 1: people come over I'd like to meet so and so

582
00:30:35,628 --> 00:30:38,668
Speaker 1: we took them over and introduced them. So I think

583
00:30:38,708 --> 00:30:42,028
Speaker 1: that's They have another session this morning at a thirty actually,

584
00:30:42,628 --> 00:30:45,708
Speaker 1: and they'll have another one at lunch. So I think

585
00:30:45,708 --> 00:30:48,988
Speaker 1: this has really been a terrific start force. But there's

586
00:30:49,028 --> 00:30:51,188
Speaker 1: no goal line for us here. Well, I was about

587
00:30:51,228 --> 00:30:53,508
Speaker 1: to say, how can you ensure through the follow up, like,

588
00:30:53,508 --> 00:30:55,388
Speaker 1: what are some of the follow up processes to make

589
00:30:55,388 --> 00:31:00,108
Speaker 1: sure Okay, the teams you met this guy here stay engaged,

590
00:31:00,228 --> 00:31:02,988
Speaker 1: you know, don't make sure this was just a fly by.

591
00:31:03,468 --> 00:31:05,708
Speaker 1: What is the league doing, are these clubs doing or

592
00:31:05,748 --> 00:31:07,948
Speaker 1: maybe some of the participants on both sides doing to

593
00:31:07,988 --> 00:31:12,588
Speaker 1: make sure that there is consistent engagement of some sort. Well,

594
00:31:12,628 --> 00:31:14,908
Speaker 1: this won't be our last of these types of programs,

595
00:31:14,988 --> 00:31:16,588
Speaker 1: but I think it really is going to be on

596
00:31:16,628 --> 00:31:20,068
Speaker 1: the individuals and the clubs obviously at those clubs, at

597
00:31:20,068 --> 00:31:22,028
Speaker 1: the individuals at those clubs to be able to have

598
00:31:22,228 --> 00:31:25,068
Speaker 1: that conversation and to be able to follow up and

599
00:31:25,108 --> 00:31:30,108
Speaker 1: to continue to really understand the type of talent. And

600
00:31:30,148 --> 00:31:32,948
Speaker 1: it's extraordinary talent. That's the thing that really struck me

601
00:31:33,548 --> 00:31:36,388
Speaker 1: when I was meeting with the participants earlier of the day.

602
00:31:37,308 --> 00:31:42,108
Speaker 1: Incredibly talented people that are seeking opportunities in a very

603
00:31:42,108 --> 00:31:45,108
Speaker 1: competitive environment. And we have to understand that there's there's

604
00:31:45,108 --> 00:31:47,868
Speaker 1: not a lot of these jobs, but they're out there

605
00:31:47,988 --> 00:31:51,868
Speaker 1: and they are they're continuing to find ways to continue

606
00:31:51,868 --> 00:31:55,148
Speaker 1: to learn and get better, and I think that's what

607
00:31:55,228 --> 00:31:57,108
Speaker 1: all of us need to do. Yeah, I think that's

608
00:31:57,108 --> 00:31:58,908
Speaker 1: one thing when you look in the room in the

609
00:31:58,948 --> 00:32:01,068
Speaker 1: conference room yesterday, when you were in there, when Arthur

610
00:32:01,068 --> 00:32:04,588
Speaker 1: Blank and people in there, there's the myth that there's

611
00:32:04,588 --> 00:32:08,308
Speaker 1: no pipeline. No, there's a there's a tremendous pipeline. They

612
00:32:08,348 --> 00:32:12,388
Speaker 1: are extraordinary talented people and people who are really going

613
00:32:12,428 --> 00:32:14,388
Speaker 1: to make the NFL better. And there are a lot

614
00:32:14,388 --> 00:32:16,748
Speaker 1: of people going to be head coaches and general managers

615
00:32:16,748 --> 00:32:20,188
Speaker 1: in that room, both men and women about and as

616
00:32:20,348 --> 00:32:22,308
Speaker 1: a league office a head of league office, I mean,

617
00:32:22,348 --> 00:32:24,508
Speaker 1: I'm sure you're kind of look looking around and seeing

618
00:32:24,508 --> 00:32:28,188
Speaker 1: people like, well, you know, we might not want to

619
00:32:28,228 --> 00:32:30,028
Speaker 1: you know, we might I mind having them work for

620
00:32:30,108 --> 00:32:33,708
Speaker 1: us as well. Sure you listen, you know we're the

621
00:32:33,828 --> 00:32:37,068
Speaker 1: NFL is all about competition, and so getting great talent

622
00:32:37,188 --> 00:32:40,108
Speaker 1: is something that makes us all better. And you know,

623
00:32:40,228 --> 00:32:42,268
Speaker 1: the thirty two are always looking to how do we

624
00:32:42,308 --> 00:32:44,188
Speaker 1: get better every day? And so do we get the

625
00:32:44,268 --> 00:32:47,308
Speaker 1: league office? And so I think this is an investment

626
00:32:47,348 --> 00:32:50,868
Speaker 1: in our people, and it's an investment on giving them

627
00:32:50,908 --> 00:32:54,868
Speaker 1: opportunities to continue to grow and manage their careers. And

628
00:32:55,028 --> 00:32:57,308
Speaker 1: same with the clubs is how do they get better.

629
00:32:57,348 --> 00:33:00,748
Speaker 1: How do they attract better talent? Well, I mean, look,

630
00:33:00,828 --> 00:33:03,828
Speaker 1: the fact that the league took this step continues to

631
00:33:03,868 --> 00:33:06,108
Speaker 1: show with the folks in New York at the League

632
00:33:06,148 --> 00:33:10,708
Speaker 1: office or trying to do. We know there's been several initiatives. Again,

633
00:33:10,708 --> 00:33:12,868
Speaker 1: you can't force anybody to do something, like you said,

634
00:33:12,908 --> 00:33:15,708
Speaker 1: in a very competitive market. But the fact that league

635
00:33:15,708 --> 00:33:17,908
Speaker 1: has took this step and helped some of these people,

636
00:33:18,748 --> 00:33:22,108
Speaker 1: the owners you know included, learn about one another, it

637
00:33:22,148 --> 00:33:24,108
Speaker 1: seems like another big step that the league is taking.

638
00:33:24,148 --> 00:33:26,068
Speaker 1: I really think, Steve, it's a win win because I

639
00:33:26,108 --> 00:33:29,268
Speaker 1: think everyone's going to get better from this. And I

640
00:33:29,348 --> 00:33:32,228
Speaker 1: think we talk about making people uncomfortable because that's when

641
00:33:32,268 --> 00:33:36,348
Speaker 1: you learn the most. I don't think people are uncomfortable here,

642
00:33:36,348 --> 00:33:43,588
Speaker 1: and that's good. Three Pro Bowl appearances, played in Super

643
00:33:43,628 --> 00:33:46,108
Speaker 1: Bowl and oh yeah, by the way, it's one of

644
00:33:46,108 --> 00:33:49,708
Speaker 1: the best at calling games in the entire industry. Let's

645
00:33:49,748 --> 00:33:53,468
Speaker 1: welcome in one of the forefathers of tight End University,

646
00:33:53,588 --> 00:33:57,468
Speaker 1: mister Greg Olson. Greg, what's up man, what's up, buddy.

00:33:57,508 --> 00:34:00,628
Speaker 1: It's good to be on with you, guys. It is

648
00:34:00,668 --> 00:34:02,468
Speaker 1: so great to have you. All right, explain that you

00:34:02,508 --> 00:34:05,628
Speaker 1: got the hat, you got the shirt, what is EU.

650
00:34:06,948 --> 00:34:10,428
Speaker 1: Come educate our audience on Good Morning Football what tight

651
00:34:10,508 --> 00:34:12,908
Speaker 1: End University is and why it's so important to you

652
00:34:12,948 --> 00:34:16,388
Speaker 1: and your brethren at the position. Yeah, So it kind

653
00:34:16,388 --> 00:34:20,708
Speaker 1: of happened organically last last year, shortly after I retired.

654
00:34:20,748 --> 00:34:22,548
Speaker 1: I was talking with George Kittle, has become a good

655
00:34:22,548 --> 00:34:25,548
Speaker 1: buddy of mine, and Travis Kelsey and the three of

656
00:34:25,628 --> 00:34:27,268
Speaker 1: us were just kind of talking about, you know, getting

657
00:34:27,308 --> 00:34:29,348
Speaker 1: together in the offseason, and I told Kittle that I

658
00:34:29,348 --> 00:34:31,588
Speaker 1: was going to come down to Nashville where a bunch

659
00:34:31,628 --> 00:34:33,948
Speaker 1: of NFL tight ends all stay down there and train

660
00:34:34,068 --> 00:34:37,068
Speaker 1: with him. And from that conversation, we ended up getting

661
00:34:37,108 --> 00:34:39,868
Speaker 1: like fifty tight ends that want that we're interested in

662
00:34:39,908 --> 00:34:42,548
Speaker 1: coming down to Nashville to train. So we had our

663
00:34:42,588 --> 00:34:44,908
Speaker 1: first You see some pictures there that was from last year,

664
00:34:45,108 --> 00:34:47,628
Speaker 1: and you know, this year, we've taken it up a

665
00:34:47,628 --> 00:34:51,028
Speaker 1: whole nother Notch Sharman has come in, They are presenting sponsor,

666
00:34:51,068 --> 00:34:52,948
Speaker 1: they're helping us put this whole thing on. We fly

667
00:34:53,028 --> 00:34:55,708
Speaker 1: the guys in. We're gonna have over seventy five NFL

668
00:34:55,748 --> 00:34:58,468
Speaker 1: tight ends this year. Fly the guys in, put them

669
00:34:58,508 --> 00:35:00,788
Speaker 1: up in Nashville for a couple nights, and we do

670
00:35:00,868 --> 00:35:03,788
Speaker 1: classroom work, we do field work, we go out in Nashville,

671
00:35:03,788 --> 00:35:05,108
Speaker 1: we go out and hit the town a little bit

672
00:35:05,148 --> 00:35:07,068
Speaker 1: at night and having some fun. So it was a

673
00:35:07,148 --> 00:35:10,308
Speaker 1: huge success last year, and so we're coming back for

674
00:35:10,428 --> 00:35:14,508
Speaker 1: year two. Great, that's awesome, bro Um. You spoke about

675
00:35:14,508 --> 00:35:16,788
Speaker 1: some of those tight ends. You talk about George Kittling,

676
00:35:16,868 --> 00:35:19,788
Speaker 1: your relationship with him. Um. You know, he was recently

677
00:35:19,828 --> 00:35:22,788
Speaker 1: talking about, man, hey, look something may right with this

678
00:35:22,868 --> 00:35:25,748
Speaker 1: pay scale, man, and he mentioned you, Buddy Kelsey, and

679
00:35:25,788 --> 00:35:28,188
Speaker 1: he was like, we're making half of what some of

680
00:35:28,228 --> 00:35:31,228
Speaker 1: these top receivers are making. Man, what's your thoughts? Man,

681
00:35:31,268 --> 00:35:33,748
Speaker 1: You were a guy who were who was great at

682
00:35:33,748 --> 00:35:36,508
Speaker 1: the position. How do you feel about your tight end

683
00:35:36,548 --> 00:35:39,988
Speaker 1: brethren only getting half of what these other receiving pass

684
00:35:40,028 --> 00:35:43,508
Speaker 1: catches are getting. Yeah, for whatever reason that the tight

685
00:35:43,588 --> 00:35:45,708
Speaker 1: end has just kind of lagged the market. And it

686
00:35:45,748 --> 00:35:48,948
Speaker 1: wasn't until until Kittle and Kelsey, Uh, you know, just

687
00:35:48,988 --> 00:35:50,868
Speaker 1: a year or two ago kind of broke the ceiling

688
00:35:50,908 --> 00:35:53,028
Speaker 1: a little bit and you know kind of took us

689
00:35:53,028 --> 00:35:55,268
Speaker 1: out of that, you know, right around ten where Gronk

690
00:35:55,428 --> 00:35:57,468
Speaker 1: was for a long time and kind of took it

691
00:35:57,508 --> 00:35:59,828
Speaker 1: to that next level. And you know, when you look

692
00:35:59,868 --> 00:36:01,908
Speaker 1: at the when you look at the production especially, I

693
00:36:02,228 --> 00:36:05,828
Speaker 1: heard Kittill talk about about Travis, you know, six seasons

694
00:36:05,828 --> 00:36:08,708
Speaker 1: in a row with a thousand yards, it's unheard of. Um.

695
00:36:08,748 --> 00:36:10,828
Speaker 1: When you look at you know, the top receiving totals

696
00:36:10,828 --> 00:36:13,548
Speaker 1: over the last six seven years, he's at or near

697
00:36:13,588 --> 00:36:15,628
Speaker 1: the top of the list, regardless of positions. So, I

698
00:36:15,628 --> 00:36:17,348
Speaker 1: mean you look at production, when you look at the

699
00:36:17,428 --> 00:36:20,228
Speaker 1: value of what they do in the system. And now

700
00:36:20,268 --> 00:36:21,708
Speaker 1: you look around the league. You know, you look at

701
00:36:21,748 --> 00:36:24,628
Speaker 1: Darren Waller, you look at you know, um, you know

702
00:36:24,708 --> 00:36:27,068
Speaker 1: Mark Andrews. I mean you look around the league. There's

703
00:36:27,108 --> 00:36:30,468
Speaker 1: a lot of really talented guys that are very, very productive.

704
00:36:30,508 --> 00:36:33,788
Speaker 1: And Kittle and Kelsey obviously're at the top of the list,

705
00:36:33,868 --> 00:36:35,988
Speaker 1: but you know, there's so many other young guys. I

706
00:36:36,468 --> 00:36:38,748
Speaker 1: was never maybe more impressed for the guy physically than

707
00:36:38,908 --> 00:36:42,068
Speaker 1: than Darren Waller last year watching him run around in person.

708
00:36:42,748 --> 00:36:44,748
Speaker 1: I mean I left that field and I was like,

709
00:36:44,788 --> 00:36:47,028
Speaker 1: this guy is just different. I mean, there's some really

710
00:36:47,068 --> 00:36:49,268
Speaker 1: talented guys throughout the league. I want them all to

711
00:36:49,348 --> 00:36:52,028
Speaker 1: make I want them all to make as much money

712
00:36:52,068 --> 00:36:55,948
Speaker 1: as humanly possible. Um, I just love the position and

713
00:36:55,988 --> 00:36:59,468
Speaker 1: I love a lot of these young guys. Well, Greg,

714
00:36:59,508 --> 00:37:02,428
Speaker 1: what's up? Man? Like? I love hearing that. I love

715
00:37:02,508 --> 00:37:05,628
Speaker 1: hearing about all the big names like Waller Kittle and

716
00:37:05,788 --> 00:37:07,828
Speaker 1: Travis Kelsey. Who are some of the other young guys

717
00:37:07,828 --> 00:37:10,308
Speaker 1: because we noticed there's there's a bunch of dude showing up.

718
00:37:10,428 --> 00:37:12,108
Speaker 1: Who are some of the other young guys who are

719
00:37:12,148 --> 00:37:16,188
Speaker 1: ready to take that next step? It was cool last year, UM,

720
00:37:16,268 --> 00:37:18,668
Speaker 1: shortly after getting drafted Kyle Pitts, you know, of course,

721
00:37:18,748 --> 00:37:21,068
Speaker 1: you know, broke a thousand yards, made a Pro Bowl

722
00:37:21,068 --> 00:37:23,588
Speaker 1: and his rookie year down in Atlanta. UM, he joined

723
00:37:23,668 --> 00:37:26,108
Speaker 1: us last year, you know, fresh at the fresh off

724
00:37:26,108 --> 00:37:28,908
Speaker 1: the draft, fresh off his first offseason, before he even

725
00:37:28,948 --> 00:37:30,468
Speaker 1: played it down in the league. So it was cool

726
00:37:30,508 --> 00:37:33,388
Speaker 1: to have him. Um. You know, we're as time goes on,

727
00:37:33,468 --> 00:37:35,228
Speaker 1: we're hoping to get some more college kids to be

728
00:37:35,228 --> 00:37:36,508
Speaker 1: able to come up there. I think we're gonna have

729
00:37:36,508 --> 00:37:39,548
Speaker 1: a handful of them come up on Wednesday before before

730
00:37:39,548 --> 00:37:41,668
Speaker 1: we start with the NFL guys and start engaging with

731
00:37:41,748 --> 00:37:44,308
Speaker 1: even younger and younger guys on their way. UM, we

732
00:37:44,348 --> 00:37:46,828
Speaker 1: had Cole Commit who was a rookie. UM, he just

733
00:37:46,868 --> 00:37:49,628
Speaker 1: finished his second year up in Chicago. He had gotten

734
00:37:49,708 --> 00:37:52,668
Speaker 1: drafted at at a Notre Dame UM so had him.

735
00:37:52,708 --> 00:37:54,188
Speaker 1: So we have We've had a lot of young guys,

736
00:37:54,188 --> 00:37:57,948
Speaker 1: and we have everybody from practice squad to ten year vets, right,

737
00:37:57,988 --> 00:37:59,788
Speaker 1: we have everybody in between. And that's what I think

738
00:37:59,828 --> 00:38:02,268
Speaker 1: the beauty of the event is is this is for everybody.

739
00:38:02,308 --> 00:38:04,588
Speaker 1: This is not just the top tier guy is the

740
00:38:04,668 --> 00:38:07,028
Speaker 1: high profile guys coming together to tell each other how

741
00:38:07,028 --> 00:38:10,188
Speaker 1: good they are, right, this is really an opportunity for

742
00:38:10,228 --> 00:38:12,668
Speaker 1: everybody to learn. You know, last year, Zacher to sit

743
00:38:12,748 --> 00:38:15,308
Speaker 1: in there and he's taken notes while Kelsey's up there

744
00:38:15,348 --> 00:38:18,348
Speaker 1: talking releases and setting routes at the top and breaking

745
00:38:18,388 --> 00:38:20,868
Speaker 1: it off. It's it's a really cool collection of guys.

746
00:38:20,868 --> 00:38:23,268
Speaker 1: You know, Mercedes Lewis last year speaking to all the

747
00:38:23,308 --> 00:38:25,788
Speaker 1: guys about being as you know what now a seventeen

748
00:38:25,868 --> 00:38:28,668
Speaker 1: year veteran, fifty whatever it is, and just what that

749
00:38:28,748 --> 00:38:31,708
Speaker 1: process looks like in the mindset. And we just had

750
00:38:31,748 --> 00:38:34,548
Speaker 1: some really cool presenters, some really cool you know guys

751
00:38:34,548 --> 00:38:38,588
Speaker 1: that came and shared their experiences all across the spectrum

752
00:38:38,588 --> 00:38:40,708
Speaker 1: and it was just it was such a big success

753
00:38:40,788 --> 00:38:43,228
Speaker 1: that we think we're going to have seventy five eighty

754
00:38:43,228 --> 00:38:46,588
Speaker 1: guys this year down in Nashville for two and a

755
00:38:46,628 --> 00:38:50,988
Speaker 1: half days. It sounds amazing. Greg. I don't mean to

756
00:38:50,988 --> 00:38:52,868
Speaker 1: shift gears here, but I really want to talk about this.

757
00:38:52,948 --> 00:38:55,868
Speaker 1: Almost a year ago, you and your family, the entire

758
00:38:55,988 --> 00:38:59,308
Speaker 1: NFL community was thinking about you guys. Your son TJ

759
00:38:59,868 --> 00:39:03,388
Speaker 1: underwent a heart transplant and experience that obviously no child

760
00:39:03,468 --> 00:39:05,828
Speaker 1: or family should have to go through. I can't imagine.

761
00:39:06,348 --> 00:39:08,588
Speaker 1: And you and your wife Kara started a foundation called

762
00:39:08,908 --> 00:39:11,988

Speaker 1: how you know what the prognosis was going to be.

786

803
00:41:11,188 --> 00:41:14,028
Speaker 1: it's funny, I heard as you say, matching outfits. So

804
00:41:14,148 --> 00:41:17,588
Speaker 1: last year, so Levi's last year, um and this year

805
00:41:17,628 --> 00:41:20,148
Speaker 1: they hosted our like welcome party, so at the rooftop

806
00:41:20,188 --> 00:41:22,628
Speaker 1: of the Thompson in downtown Nashville. We had all the

807
00:41:22,668 --> 00:41:24,628
Speaker 1: guys come in on the opening night and just had

808
00:41:24,668 --> 00:41:27,108
Speaker 1: like a dinner, and then we headed out towards you know,

809
00:41:27,188 --> 00:41:29,788
Speaker 1: downtown to the kind of strip of bars and all

810
00:41:29,828 --> 00:41:32,668
Speaker 1: the honky tonks and whatnot in Nashville. But Levi was

811
00:41:32,788 --> 00:41:35,628
Speaker 1: there and made all the guys like denim jackets and

812
00:41:35,628 --> 00:41:38,188
Speaker 1: you could get like patches put on and customize them.

813
00:41:38,228 --> 00:41:40,428
Speaker 1: So the guys were loving it. So all of a sudden,

814
00:41:40,428 --> 00:41:42,828
Speaker 1: from this night we all walk you know, we all

815
00:41:42,908 --> 00:41:47,028
Speaker 1: uber down to to downtown and we walk into the bar.

816
00:41:47,228 --> 00:41:50,188
Speaker 1: You know, so every guy is six four six five

817
00:41:50,308 --> 00:41:53,508
Speaker 1: plus and there's twenty of them, and they're all wearing

818
00:41:53,548 --> 00:41:56,108
Speaker 1: denim jackets. I took mine off because I was like,

819
00:41:56,148 --> 00:41:58,668
Speaker 1: this is ridiculous. So we all go walking in the

820
00:41:58,668 --> 00:42:00,708
Speaker 1: bar and I could just imagine, first of all, like

821
00:42:00,828 --> 00:42:04,748
Speaker 1: these people, like who are these huge guys walking in together?

822
00:42:04,748 --> 00:42:07,948
Speaker 1: And why the hell are they all wearing gene jackets. So, yes,

823
00:42:08,028 --> 00:42:10,948
Speaker 1: we did have matching outfits last year. I don't know

824
00:42:11,108 --> 00:42:13,748
Speaker 1: whether we're gonna have matching outfits this year. But I

825
00:42:13,868 --> 00:42:15,588
Speaker 1: told him, I said, I know I'm the old guy.

826
00:42:15,948 --> 00:42:19,068
Speaker 1: I'm not your dad, I'm not in charge, I'm not

827
00:42:19,148 --> 00:42:22,268
Speaker 1: your chaperone. So whatever these guys do at night, we'll

828
00:42:22,268 --> 00:42:24,628
Speaker 1: try to keep him out of trouble. But it's a

829
00:42:24,748 --> 00:42:26,628
Speaker 1: nice mix of fun and we get a lot of

830
00:42:26,628 --> 00:42:31,508
Speaker 1: work done, so it's a good combo. Well, Charman is

831
00:42:31,548 --> 00:42:34,068
Speaker 1: the title sponsor this year. If we can get some

832
00:42:34,108 --> 00:42:37,068
Speaker 1: sort of toilet paper unity on this thing, that would

833
00:42:37,068 --> 00:42:40,428
Speaker 1: be really good as well. Gene jackets, toilet paper everywhere,

834
00:42:40,428 --> 00:42:44,508
