27
00:01:31,680 --> 00:01:36,160
Speaker 3: go ahead. Welcome back to the Richard Sherman Podcast. We're

28
00:01:36,200 --> 00:01:39,959
Speaker 3: back at it again. The draft has happened. Mitchell Hayleub

29
00:01:40,000 --> 00:01:43,959
Speaker 3: Williams went number one. Probably one of the least eventful

30
00:01:44,040 --> 00:01:46,680
Speaker 3: drafts in a long time. I think this one went

31
00:01:47,040 --> 00:01:51,480
Speaker 3: just about as everyone predicted outside of one pick. What'd

32
00:01:51,480 --> 00:01:53,440
Speaker 3: you think your Detroit Lions got better?

33
00:01:54,400 --> 00:01:55,440
Speaker 2: I loved it, rich Well.

34
00:01:55,520 --> 00:01:59,559
Speaker 1: First off, the NFL drafts my Christmas, right. I love this.

35
00:01:59,560 --> 00:02:02,160
Speaker 1: This is my national holiday and it was in my

36
00:02:02,360 --> 00:02:07,640
Speaker 1: home city, Detroit. And Richard the Detroitter showed up. Broke

37
00:02:07,680 --> 00:02:10,720
Speaker 1: the record seven hundred thousand plus. If there was ever

38
00:02:10,760 --> 00:02:13,239
Speaker 1: a discussion to be had about whether this city is

39
00:02:13,280 --> 00:02:15,760
Speaker 1: a sports town or whether this is a football city,

40
00:02:16,160 --> 00:02:19,640
Speaker 1: You're damn right it is. And Dan Campbell and Brad

41
00:02:19,680 --> 00:02:23,600
Speaker 1: Holmes has got the Detroit fan base a buzz. Richard,

42
00:02:24,240 --> 00:02:26,760
Speaker 1: there was a little bit of drama, and I think

43
00:02:26,800 --> 00:02:30,120
Speaker 1: we just jump right into it. The first five, six,

44
00:02:30,280 --> 00:02:32,920
Speaker 1: seven picks said nothing too wild and crazy.

45
00:02:32,960 --> 00:02:35,240
Speaker 2: But then we get to Atlanta and we get to.

46
00:02:35,240 --> 00:02:39,720
Speaker 1: Number eight and Michael Pennix goes off the board and

47
00:02:39,800 --> 00:02:41,799
Speaker 1: there's a bit of head scratching going on.

48
00:02:42,280 --> 00:02:45,880
Speaker 2: Richard. If you're the Atlanta Falcons, why do you do this?

49
00:02:46,720 --> 00:02:49,080
Speaker 3: Well, you do it for the future, Mitchell, you do

50
00:02:49,160 --> 00:02:51,800
Speaker 3: it because you assume. And this is what I had

51
00:02:51,840 --> 00:02:54,000
Speaker 3: to think about because I didn't like it. Initially. I

52
00:02:54,120 --> 00:02:56,679
Speaker 3: liked Michael Pennick's going in that spot because I think

53
00:02:56,680 --> 00:02:59,600
Speaker 3: he was a really good player this year. He's a

54
00:03:00,120 --> 00:03:02,200
Speaker 3: rational talent, you know. He I thought he could have

55
00:03:02,200 --> 00:03:06,440
Speaker 3: went top five with those other guys. But what I

56
00:03:06,560 --> 00:03:08,880
Speaker 3: really started to dissect it and really think about it,

57
00:03:08,919 --> 00:03:13,880
Speaker 3: I thought, maybe it's because they expect to be better

58
00:03:14,600 --> 00:03:17,760
Speaker 3: with Kirk Cousins, so they don't expect to be picking

59
00:03:17,800 --> 00:03:21,520
Speaker 3: in the top ten of the draft anytime soon. Again,

60
00:03:22,000 --> 00:03:24,360
Speaker 3: which makes sense. So if you don't expect to be

61
00:03:24,440 --> 00:03:26,480
Speaker 3: picking in the top ten and you expect to have

62
00:03:26,520 --> 00:03:29,639
Speaker 3: some kind of semblance of success, then you're probably picking

63
00:03:29,680 --> 00:03:33,160
Speaker 3: seventeen through twenty five. You know, maybe you make a playoff.

64
00:03:33,480 --> 00:03:38,680
Speaker 3: You know this, Divisions has historically underwhelmed, so maybe you

65
00:03:38,760 --> 00:03:40,760
Speaker 3: expect to make the playoffs the next couple of years,

66
00:03:40,760 --> 00:03:43,960
Speaker 3: so you won't be picking early. So then once Kirk

67
00:03:44,080 --> 00:03:46,600
Speaker 3: is done or you feel like he's done, you won't

68
00:03:46,640 --> 00:03:50,960
Speaker 3: necessarily have the firepower the draft capital to get a

69
00:03:51,000 --> 00:03:54,000
Speaker 3: guy that you potentially want. So that makes sense and

70
00:03:54,040 --> 00:03:58,480
Speaker 3: that that way. But in terms of an immediate need,

71
00:03:59,240 --> 00:04:01,240
Speaker 3: it didn't make a ton of sents at all. But

72
00:04:01,320 --> 00:04:04,000
Speaker 3: when I thought about it in terms of the future, Hey,

73
00:04:04,480 --> 00:04:07,440
Speaker 3: this is technically really just a two year, one hundred

74
00:04:07,480 --> 00:04:10,720
Speaker 3: million dollar deal. He plays two years, you feel good

75
00:04:10,840 --> 00:04:13,520
Speaker 3: or you feel however you do about him, Then you

76
00:04:13,600 --> 00:04:15,880
Speaker 3: start to move on and start to move to the

77
00:04:15,920 --> 00:04:19,200
Speaker 3: younger guy in Pinix and start to think about the future. Now,

78
00:04:19,440 --> 00:04:21,880
Speaker 3: if Kirk is playing out of his mind, they start

79
00:04:21,920 --> 00:04:24,920
Speaker 3: to look like a really bad pick later on the

80
00:04:25,240 --> 00:04:28,039
Speaker 3: later it goes. But I think that's what they're thinking.

81
00:04:28,080 --> 00:04:31,280
Speaker 3: I think that's what Terry Foughtono is thinking when he drafted.

82
00:04:32,080 --> 00:04:33,400
Speaker 2: It's just wild though, Rich.

83
00:04:33,480 --> 00:04:36,960
Speaker 1: I mean, from the player perspective side of things, Kirk

84
00:04:37,000 --> 00:04:39,800
Speaker 1: Cousins had no idea when he was signing with Atlanta,

85
00:04:39,839 --> 00:04:41,880
Speaker 1: that this is a route that they were going to take,

86
00:04:42,000 --> 00:04:44,640
Speaker 1: And you wonder if he might have changed his mindset

87
00:04:44,640 --> 00:04:46,640
Speaker 1: about going to Atlanta in the first place if he

88
00:04:46,720 --> 00:04:47,080
Speaker 1: knew this.

89
00:04:47,800 --> 00:04:49,840
Speaker 2: How would you feel if you were Kirk Rich.

90
00:04:50,360 --> 00:04:53,560
Speaker 3: I feel pretty good, Mitchell. I got a hundred million guaranteed.

91
00:04:53,600 --> 00:04:58,080
Speaker 3: Mitchell coming off in Akilli surgery. You don't really know

92
00:04:58,120 --> 00:04:59,719
Speaker 3: how that's going to go. That leaves a lot of

93
00:04:59,760 --> 00:05:02,039
Speaker 3: doubt in your mind. I think he's feeling pretty good.

94
00:05:02,400 --> 00:05:04,160
Speaker 3: I don't think he's worried about it at all. I

95
00:05:04,200 --> 00:05:06,880
Speaker 3: think he's more caught off by surprise because it's just

96
00:05:07,360 --> 00:05:09,960
Speaker 3: a weird deal, you know. I don't think he's sitting

97
00:05:10,000 --> 00:05:11,679
Speaker 3: there like, man, I'm going to be in a position

98
00:05:11,760 --> 00:05:15,960
Speaker 3: battle with a rookie Mitchell. They're not sitting fifty million

99
00:05:16,000 --> 00:05:18,160
Speaker 3: dollars a year on the bench. They're not I don't

100
00:05:18,200 --> 00:05:20,240
Speaker 3: know what world we're living in, but we're not living

101
00:05:20,240 --> 00:05:23,480
Speaker 3: in that one. So I don't think he's worried about

102
00:05:23,480 --> 00:05:26,520
Speaker 3: his job. Now in the future, could something happen? Does

103
00:05:26,520 --> 00:05:28,400
Speaker 3: this make it a little bit of murkyer after the

104
00:05:28,480 --> 00:05:33,039
Speaker 3: guaranteed money's going, no question about it. But we'll cross

105
00:05:33,080 --> 00:05:34,279
Speaker 3: that bridge when we get there.

106
00:05:35,200 --> 00:05:38,640
Speaker 1: Well, the other layer of this rich when Rahee Morris

107
00:05:38,720 --> 00:05:42,239
Speaker 1: was at his post draft press conference, he talked about

108
00:05:42,320 --> 00:05:46,080
Speaker 1: the green Bay model and what Jordan Love has become.

109
00:05:46,200 --> 00:05:49,279
Speaker 1: You know, they sat him behind Aaron Rodgers for three years,

110
00:05:49,279 --> 00:05:52,120
Speaker 1: and he jumps in and really came on late in

111
00:05:52,120 --> 00:05:54,160
Speaker 1: the year and makes green Bay look like a force

112
00:05:54,200 --> 00:05:57,040
Speaker 1: to be reckon worth going forward. But Jordan Love is

113
00:05:57,080 --> 00:05:59,839
Speaker 1: twenty one when he got drafted. Michael Penix is going

114
00:05:59,920 --> 00:06:02,840
Speaker 1: to turn twenty four here soon. You know, if they

115
00:06:02,960 --> 00:06:05,080
Speaker 1: sit him for two three years, now, all of a sudden,

116
00:06:05,120 --> 00:06:08,800
Speaker 1: he's approaching twenty six, twenty seven, twenty eight. You know,

117
00:06:09,320 --> 00:06:13,160
Speaker 1: the question now becomes, does Michael Pennix want to be here? Richard?

118
00:06:13,200 --> 00:06:16,039
Speaker 1: You think it's gonna be two years and Kirk Cousins

119
00:06:16,160 --> 00:06:18,360
Speaker 1: is out? Is that your prediction going forward?

120
00:06:19,320 --> 00:06:21,600
Speaker 3: I feel like that has to be the plan otherwise

121
00:06:21,640 --> 00:06:25,560
Speaker 3: this pick looks really like a head scratcher. Now when

122
00:06:25,600 --> 00:06:27,920
Speaker 3: you talk about the green Bay model. The reason why

123
00:06:27,960 --> 00:06:31,400
Speaker 3: this steal looks odd even in comparison to that, is

124
00:06:31,440 --> 00:06:34,480
Speaker 3: because those picks that they picked, even Aaron Rodgers was

125
00:06:34,520 --> 00:06:38,000
Speaker 3: what the twenty fourth pick, like Jordan Love is the

126
00:06:38,000 --> 00:06:41,240
Speaker 3: twenty sixth pick. That makes sense when you're talking about

127
00:06:41,320 --> 00:06:43,680
Speaker 3: sitting a guy, but when you're talking about a top

128
00:06:43,720 --> 00:06:47,120
Speaker 3: ten pick, it's happened before you know. I was on

129
00:06:47,160 --> 00:06:50,080
Speaker 3: the show earlier today and Keishan brought something to my attention.

130
00:06:51,000 --> 00:06:54,120
Speaker 3: Carson Palmer sat behind Kittna, which was weird because he

131
00:06:54,160 --> 00:06:58,320
Speaker 3: was the number one pick. Patrick Mahons sat behind Alex Smith.

132
00:06:59,080 --> 00:07:02,520
Speaker 3: It's happened. It just seems odd to use that draft

133
00:07:02,600 --> 00:07:06,799
Speaker 3: capital when you have other needs. But like I said

134
00:07:06,800 --> 00:07:10,000
Speaker 3: before him, maybe they're expecting that they're not going to

135
00:07:10,040 --> 00:07:12,920
Speaker 3: be picking this high again in the future. So okay,

136
00:07:14,200 --> 00:07:16,679
Speaker 3: do you think Kirk's only gonna last a couple more years?

137
00:07:16,920 --> 00:07:19,800
Speaker 3: You're drafting for the future. I got that, but it

138
00:07:19,840 --> 00:07:21,080
Speaker 3: doesn't help you in the present.

139
00:07:22,120 --> 00:07:22,320
Speaker 2: Well.

140
00:07:22,320 --> 00:07:24,640
Speaker 1: One of the guys that passed up on was Roma Doonza,

141
00:07:24,920 --> 00:07:27,520
Speaker 1: who I know plays up in your part of the country.

142
00:07:27,600 --> 00:07:30,480
Speaker 1: Rich This guy was a baller. I mean I watched

143
00:07:30,520 --> 00:07:32,360
Speaker 1: him a few times. I saw him come to Spartan

144
00:07:32,400 --> 00:07:36,320
Speaker 1: Stadium and absolutely whoop on Michigan State. And he's one

145
00:07:36,360 --> 00:07:38,320
Speaker 1: of these guys. He's got a little bit of debo

146
00:07:38,440 --> 00:07:42,280
Speaker 1: in him. He can stretch the field. Richard the Bears

147
00:07:42,360 --> 00:07:44,200
Speaker 1: killed this draft, and I'm not gonna lie to you,

148
00:07:44,280 --> 00:07:46,920
Speaker 1: I'm a little nervous about them being in the Detroit

149
00:07:46,960 --> 00:07:50,520
Speaker 1: Lions division. They go and grab Caleb Williams, followed by

150
00:07:50,600 --> 00:07:53,400
Speaker 1: Roma Donze, followed by the offensive tackle out of Yale.

151
00:07:53,440 --> 00:07:55,880
Speaker 1: They get the Hall of Fame future punter from Iowa,

152
00:07:55,920 --> 00:07:57,720
Speaker 1: who everyone in Iowa Country loves.

153
00:07:58,720 --> 00:07:59,440
Speaker 2: Richard, what do you.

154
00:07:59,400 --> 00:08:03,920
Speaker 1: Expect heys for this Chicago Bears team, because it seems

155
00:08:03,960 --> 00:08:07,040
Speaker 1: like they have just totally researched over the last year

156
00:08:07,080 --> 00:08:09,760
Speaker 1: and a half. The trade from last year when they

157
00:08:09,840 --> 00:08:12,960
Speaker 1: moved out of the one spot and we're able to acquire,

158
00:08:13,800 --> 00:08:17,280
Speaker 1: you know, multiple draft picks in exchange for Bryce Young

159
00:08:17,600 --> 00:08:19,360
Speaker 1: is paying huge dividends.

160
00:08:20,080 --> 00:08:20,440
Speaker 2: Richard.

161
00:08:20,440 --> 00:08:22,760
Speaker 1: Do the Bears have a shot at making the playoffs

162
00:08:22,760 --> 00:08:23,120
Speaker 1: this year?

163
00:08:24,160 --> 00:08:27,000
Speaker 3: I mean you can say that I give him a

164
00:08:27,000 --> 00:08:29,400
Speaker 3: puncher's chance. You know, it's a tough division. I think

165
00:08:29,440 --> 00:08:32,439
Speaker 3: Green Bay's gonna be really good. Obviously, your Detroit Lions

166
00:08:32,480 --> 00:08:35,280
Speaker 3: are going to be really good. Minnesota will have a

167
00:08:35,320 --> 00:08:38,600
Speaker 3: young quarterback that needs to adjust, but they still have

168
00:08:38,760 --> 00:08:41,480
Speaker 3: Justin Jefferson. They still have Kevin O'Connell at the helm.

169
00:08:41,800 --> 00:08:45,040
Speaker 3: I think they'll still be a formidable opponent. So I

170
00:08:45,080 --> 00:08:48,560
Speaker 3: don't think Chicago's making the playoffs. Now they'll show more

171
00:08:48,559 --> 00:08:51,240
Speaker 3: promise than they have, no question. I think Caleb Williams

172
00:08:51,280 --> 00:08:55,800
Speaker 3: will go through the learning curve. He has great receiving

173
00:08:55,840 --> 00:09:00,400
Speaker 3: corps now to help him. But there's so many on

174
00:09:00,400 --> 00:09:03,920
Speaker 3: that offensive line. There's like, there's a reason Justin Fields

175
00:09:03,960 --> 00:09:07,240
Speaker 3: was under pressure all the time last year. Now they've

176
00:09:07,280 --> 00:09:09,320
Speaker 3: addressed some of those needs, but you got to see

177
00:09:09,320 --> 00:09:11,760
Speaker 3: it happen. I have to see it. They have Keenan

178
00:09:11,800 --> 00:09:14,360
Speaker 3: Allen now, they have DJ Moore, they have Roma Doonsday,

179
00:09:14,600 --> 00:09:16,960
Speaker 3: so he has the weapons that you you would they

180
00:09:17,200 --> 00:09:19,600
Speaker 3: would help a really young quarterback have a lot of

181
00:09:19,600 --> 00:09:22,880
Speaker 3: success early on. But it's still a tough division. They'll

182
00:09:22,920 --> 00:09:25,360
Speaker 3: still have to get through the learning curves, the growing

183
00:09:25,400 --> 00:09:29,120
Speaker 3: pains of a rookie quarterback. He plays a very unorthodox way.

184
00:09:29,400 --> 00:09:32,360
Speaker 3: A lot of off scheduled throws is what he succeeded

185
00:09:32,400 --> 00:09:35,320
Speaker 3: in in college. And you're not necessarily gonna live like

186
00:09:35,360 --> 00:09:38,200
Speaker 3: that International Football league. Maybe he will. Maybe they all

187
00:09:38,240 --> 00:09:40,520
Speaker 3: sound crazy, and you know, in the middle of the

188
00:09:40,600 --> 00:09:43,120
Speaker 3: year and he's all scheduled every every game and they're

189
00:09:43,200 --> 00:09:46,040
Speaker 3: freaking undefeated. You know, maybe I could be wrong. Their

190
00:09:46,080 --> 00:09:49,199
Speaker 3: defense played pretty well last year. They paid some guys

191
00:09:49,200 --> 00:09:52,160
Speaker 3: at key positions. They got the pass rusher, they paid

192
00:09:52,200 --> 00:09:55,720
Speaker 3: the corner, they have good safeties. I think they'll be

193
00:09:55,760 --> 00:09:58,839
Speaker 3: fine in that regard. But I don't see him winning

194
00:09:58,840 --> 00:10:01,840
Speaker 3: this division and and giving you guys problems. You guys

195
00:10:01,880 --> 00:10:04,280
Speaker 3: have built a very strong roster, continue to build a

196
00:10:04,320 --> 00:10:06,960
Speaker 3: strong roster, bringing back a lot of the guys. Ben

197
00:10:07,040 --> 00:10:10,520
Speaker 3: Johnson still running the offense. Like there's some continuity there,

198
00:10:10,520 --> 00:10:12,280
Speaker 3: and you got to give credit where credit is due.

199
00:10:12,280 --> 00:10:14,720
Speaker 3: They went to the NFC Championship and they didn't stumble there.

200
00:10:14,760 --> 00:10:16,800
Speaker 3: They didn't luck their way into it. They had a

201
00:10:16,800 --> 00:10:18,240
Speaker 3: good chance to win it. But we're not going to

202
00:10:18,320 --> 00:10:26,520
Speaker 3: go back down that alley. Well, Mitchell, Mitchell, they don't

203
00:10:26,559 --> 00:10:29,199
Speaker 3: want you to play defense anymore, Mitchell. That's why the

204
00:10:29,360 --> 00:10:32,720
Speaker 3: draft went the way it went. Fourteen straight offensive players, Mitchell.

205
00:10:32,720 --> 00:10:36,320
Speaker 3: It's never been done, fourteen straight offensive players. Everybody's asking,

206
00:10:36,600 --> 00:10:40,320
Speaker 3: why is it fourteen straight offensive players drafted? That's just

207
00:10:40,360 --> 00:10:42,240
Speaker 3: how it fell. No, it's because they don't want the

208
00:10:42,320 --> 00:10:45,240
Speaker 3: guys to play defense this year. They don't want them

209
00:10:45,240 --> 00:10:47,040
Speaker 3: to tackle. They don't want you to hit them a

210
00:10:47,040 --> 00:10:48,880
Speaker 3: lot high. They don't want you to hit them low.

211
00:10:49,040 --> 00:10:51,040
Speaker 3: They don't want to tackle them from the side. They

212
00:10:51,080 --> 00:10:53,640
Speaker 3: don't want you to put them down and drop your weight. Well,

213
00:10:54,679 --> 00:10:57,520
Speaker 3: for people who don't play football and never have, it

214
00:10:57,640 --> 00:11:00,400
Speaker 3: makes sense. The rule makes sense. It's like, oh, all

215
00:11:00,400 --> 00:11:02,199
Speaker 3: you gotta do is just not drop your weight when

216
00:11:02,200 --> 00:11:03,959
Speaker 3: you're trying to tackle a guy, Like, what is that?

217
00:11:04,040 --> 00:11:06,520
Speaker 3: It's not that hard? It's like I could do that. Well,

218
00:11:06,559 --> 00:11:08,400
Speaker 3: first off, you couldn't play in the NFL. That much

219
00:11:08,520 --> 00:11:10,840
Speaker 3: is clear because you're doing it from your couch. So

220
00:11:11,320 --> 00:11:13,480
Speaker 3: you say, out of this, you let the guys that

221
00:11:13,720 --> 00:11:17,600
Speaker 3: played full speed in the NFL tell you how difficult

222
00:11:17,600 --> 00:11:19,640
Speaker 3: this is this task is. I'm not gonna let you

223
00:11:19,840 --> 00:11:22,240
Speaker 3: who has not play. I'm not gonna tell a doctor man,

224
00:11:22,320 --> 00:11:25,040
Speaker 3: surgery doesn't look that hard. That looks that looks pretty easy.

225
00:11:25,040 --> 00:11:27,440
Speaker 3: You just cut you scalpel, you open this up, you

226
00:11:27,559 --> 00:11:30,240
Speaker 3: sow that, like, why do you have to go to

227
00:11:30,240 --> 00:11:33,040
Speaker 3: school for it? Because it's just because it looks easy

228
00:11:33,080 --> 00:11:36,840
Speaker 3: doesn't mean it is easy. So the plays that they're

229
00:11:36,880 --> 00:11:41,280
Speaker 3: talking about, like the Mark and Jews play Mitchell. When

230
00:11:41,360 --> 00:11:43,600
Speaker 3: you're out there, there are very few times that you

231
00:11:43,640 --> 00:11:46,439
Speaker 3: can sit there and say, hey, I'm thinking about whether

232
00:11:46,480 --> 00:11:48,520
Speaker 3: I can injure a guy or whether somebody's gonna get

233
00:11:48,559 --> 00:11:51,120
Speaker 3: hurt on this play, especially when it's first down, touchdown

234
00:11:51,240 --> 00:11:54,080
Speaker 3: kind of situations where it's bang bang, like if your

235
00:11:54,240 --> 00:11:56,080
Speaker 3: corner and I'm in covered too, they throw it to

236
00:11:56,120 --> 00:11:57,920
Speaker 3: the tight end and the flat his backs to me.

237
00:11:58,640 --> 00:12:01,160
Speaker 3: I can make a conscientious decision when I can shoot

238
00:12:01,200 --> 00:12:03,160
Speaker 3: my gun, especially if I trigger it fast enough. I

239
00:12:03,160 --> 00:12:05,640
Speaker 3: read it early. I can trigger, and I can probably

240
00:12:05,640 --> 00:12:07,640
Speaker 3: tear an ACL if I want to. I can probably

241
00:12:07,679 --> 00:12:09,560
Speaker 3: do that. I can. I can. I can slice at

242
00:12:09,559 --> 00:12:12,080
Speaker 3: his knee before he turns his head, and his knee

243
00:12:12,080 --> 00:12:13,600
Speaker 3: will be in the ground, and I can probably enter

244
00:12:13,679 --> 00:12:16,040
Speaker 3: him if I really wanted to, I could probably do it.

245
00:12:16,400 --> 00:12:18,640
Speaker 3: But never I and I never do that, you know

246
00:12:18,679 --> 00:12:20,679
Speaker 3: what I mean. I usually, even if it's push, come

247
00:12:20,760 --> 00:12:22,760
Speaker 3: to shove, and it may be your first down, or

248
00:12:22,880 --> 00:12:25,079
Speaker 3: usually it's not because it's on your two three yard route.

249
00:12:25,240 --> 00:12:27,400
Speaker 3: But I usually let the guy get his head around,

250
00:12:27,440 --> 00:12:29,600
Speaker 3: and most corners do. They you get their head around,

251
00:12:29,880 --> 00:12:32,600
Speaker 3: the tight end sees them, you know it, just you

252
00:12:32,600 --> 00:12:35,400
Speaker 3: know you cut under him, they fall over you, et cetera,

253
00:12:35,400 --> 00:12:39,720
Speaker 3: et cetera. But plays like this. You're not always in control.

254
00:12:39,800 --> 00:12:42,760
Speaker 3: You're not always especially when it's really strong. It's Derek Henry.

255
00:12:42,760 --> 00:12:45,520
Speaker 3: It's these really strong backs that have lower bodies where

256
00:12:45,520 --> 00:12:48,200
Speaker 3: they're squatting six hundred pounds, these tight ends that are

257
00:12:48,200 --> 00:12:50,800
Speaker 3: two hundred and sixty five two hundred and seventy pounds

258
00:12:50,840 --> 00:12:53,840
Speaker 3: six y four six ' five, Like they're really strong.

259
00:12:53,960 --> 00:12:55,600
Speaker 3: So when you're sitting there trying to bring him down,

260
00:12:55,640 --> 00:12:58,080
Speaker 3: it's not like you're making a kachi inter's decision like

261
00:12:59,000 --> 00:13:01,040
Speaker 3: I'm gonna use this on the tackle or use this

262
00:13:01,120 --> 00:13:03,320
Speaker 3: kind of tackle, or I'm just gonna grab him this way.

263
00:13:03,520 --> 00:13:06,000
Speaker 3: It's like, Hey, I'm trying to get this dude to

264
00:13:06,000 --> 00:13:07,840
Speaker 3: the ground as fast as I can before he gets

265
00:13:07,840 --> 00:13:09,719
Speaker 3: the first down. That's all I'm thinking about. So when

266
00:13:09,760 --> 00:13:11,480
Speaker 3: you grab him and you wrap them up and they

267
00:13:11,520 --> 00:13:14,080
Speaker 3: start dragging and they continue to run their legs because

268
00:13:14,080 --> 00:13:15,559
Speaker 3: they're trying to get more yards trying to get a

269
00:13:15,559 --> 00:13:19,520
Speaker 3: first down, you don't have the luxury to say, hmm,

270
00:13:20,440 --> 00:13:22,840
Speaker 3: let me not drop my weight right now. Because some

271
00:13:22,880 --> 00:13:25,120
Speaker 3: of the guys the weight is only one hundred and

272
00:13:25,160 --> 00:13:28,839
Speaker 3: eighty pounds Mitchell, they squat six hundred. So if you're

273
00:13:28,840 --> 00:13:30,599
Speaker 3: telling me they just have to drag one hundred and

274
00:13:30,600 --> 00:13:33,000
Speaker 3: eighty pounds. They're happy to do so, even if you

275
00:13:33,040 --> 00:13:35,640
Speaker 3: drop your weight. So you're not sitting there saying, hey,

276
00:13:35,679 --> 00:13:37,560
Speaker 3: let me aim at his legs. I'm gonna wrap him up.

277
00:13:37,640 --> 00:13:40,040
Speaker 3: Were his legs at? Let me drop my weight on those,

278
00:13:40,360 --> 00:13:42,280
Speaker 3: like you're just trying to drop to the ground as

279
00:13:42,280 --> 00:13:43,840
Speaker 3: fast as you can because you want to get him

280
00:13:43,840 --> 00:13:46,320
Speaker 3: down as fast as you can. And these are the

281
00:13:46,360 --> 00:13:50,040
Speaker 3: same fans that will be sitting there saying their player

282
00:13:50,120 --> 00:13:53,199
Speaker 3: didn't give enough effort. When these guys are scoring touchdowns

283
00:13:53,360 --> 00:13:55,959
Speaker 3: and breaking tackles, you're gonna be sitting there like, well,

284
00:13:55,960 --> 00:13:58,480
Speaker 3: why didn't he just bring him down? Well, because every

285
00:13:58,600 --> 00:14:02,400
Speaker 3: rule says he can't. You can't tackle them high, you

286
00:14:02,440 --> 00:14:04,800
Speaker 3: can't bludge them, you can't horse caller them, which is

287
00:14:04,800 --> 00:14:07,880
Speaker 3: a much easier call, much different. So you can feel

288
00:14:08,000 --> 00:14:10,600
Speaker 3: the back of somebody's horse, got the back of the jersey.

289
00:14:10,760 --> 00:14:13,120
Speaker 3: You can feel that. When you're doing that. You can say, hey,

290
00:14:13,440 --> 00:14:15,280
Speaker 3: I know I'm hanging off over the back of him,

291
00:14:15,280 --> 00:14:18,000
Speaker 3: I'm plumbing them back. That feels different. But when I'm

292
00:14:18,040 --> 00:14:20,640
Speaker 3: wrapping them up around the waist, I can't feel. When

293
00:14:20,640 --> 00:14:22,480
Speaker 3: I'm about to fall on their legs because I don't

294
00:14:22,480 --> 00:14:24,080
Speaker 3: know where their legs are. I don't know where they're

295
00:14:24,080 --> 00:14:26,240
Speaker 3: going to be. They could be cutting, they could be swinging,

296
00:14:26,400 --> 00:14:28,440
Speaker 3: they could be spinning, they could be doing a lot.

297
00:14:28,480 --> 00:14:31,240
Speaker 3: And it's happening a lot faster than it seems like

298
00:14:31,440 --> 00:14:34,000
Speaker 3: it's happening on your television screen. So I'm not a

299
00:14:34,000 --> 00:14:36,720
Speaker 3: big fan of this rule. I've said this the whole time.

300
00:14:37,080 --> 00:14:39,040
Speaker 3: I think it's gonna be odd. They're saying it's only

301
00:14:39,040 --> 00:14:41,480
Speaker 3: one or two plays a game, but that's all it

302
00:14:41,560 --> 00:14:44,280
Speaker 3: has to be for you to keep finding guys, and

303
00:14:44,320 --> 00:14:46,600
Speaker 3: a lot of times it's going to be fines. It's

304
00:14:47,720 --> 00:14:51,840
Speaker 3: majority of the fines, and the penalties are happening the

305
00:14:51,920 --> 00:14:56,000
Speaker 3: defensive players. So you're discouraging guys from making these kind

306
00:14:56,000 --> 00:14:58,800
Speaker 3: of tackles. You're discouraging guys from playing the game the

307
00:14:58,880 --> 00:15:02,160
Speaker 3: way it has been played. And so when you're seeing

308
00:15:02,200 --> 00:15:05,600
Speaker 3: guys break tackles and offense score more points, you're like, man,

309
00:15:05,680 --> 00:15:08,360
Speaker 3: defense has just gotten worse. They got away from the fundamentals. No,

310
00:15:08,600 --> 00:15:15,160
Speaker 3: the fundamentals have changed fundamentally, Like the game is changing fundamentally, Mitchell, Oh,

311
00:15:16,320 --> 00:15:17,080
Speaker 3: I'm with you, Rich.

312
00:15:17,160 --> 00:15:19,000
Speaker 1: I think We're gonna see a little bit of little

313
00:15:19,040 --> 00:15:21,960
Speaker 1: giants out there, man, when Spike's dragging the kids all

314
00:15:21,960 --> 00:15:25,160
Speaker 1: over the all over the yard. You know, Richard, I'm

315
00:15:25,160 --> 00:15:28,040
Speaker 1: one hundred percent with you, because it's instinctive. You're taught

316
00:15:28,040 --> 00:15:30,480
Speaker 1: to bring the player to the ground. I understand the

317
00:15:30,520 --> 00:15:33,560
Speaker 1: horse collar. I get that on one hundred percent. That's

318
00:15:33,600 --> 00:15:37,200
Speaker 1: completely avoidable. But this one, rich especially when DB's are

319
00:15:37,920 --> 00:15:41,960
Speaker 1: trying to tackle tight ends, good luck. But this is

320
00:15:42,000 --> 00:15:46,080
Speaker 1: the ultimate cya by the league, right because the NFLPA

321
00:15:46,600 --> 00:15:49,440
Speaker 1: all unanimously voted against it. And this is just a

322
00:15:49,480 --> 00:15:53,520
Speaker 1: situation where it's coming after player safety. It is player

323
00:15:53,560 --> 00:15:55,640
Speaker 1: safety at the end of the day. I mean, these tackles,

324
00:15:56,040 --> 00:15:59,480
Speaker 1: they contribute to a lot of leg injuries. But Richard,

325
00:15:59,760 --> 00:16:01,840
Speaker 1: how the heck Jelosi, you're supposed to play the game.

326
00:16:02,000 --> 00:16:04,600
Speaker 1: To your point mentioned, at some point you gotta draw

327
00:16:04,680 --> 00:16:05,000
Speaker 1: the line.

328
00:16:05,080 --> 00:16:08,280
Speaker 3: It's a dangerous game. It's an inherently dangerous game, and

329
00:16:08,360 --> 00:16:11,400
Speaker 3: every player that plays it understands it. Now, there are

330
00:16:11,440 --> 00:16:13,360
Speaker 3: things like we just talked about the plays. When you're

331
00:16:13,360 --> 00:16:15,200
Speaker 3: in the flats and you're doing this and you're doing that,

332
00:16:15,280 --> 00:16:18,520
Speaker 3: can some play injuries be avoided? No question? Did they

333
00:16:18,520 --> 00:16:20,720
Speaker 3: take the horse collar out the game and make that

334
00:16:20,800 --> 00:16:23,320
Speaker 3: right decision? No question, that was the right decision, the

335
00:16:23,680 --> 00:16:26,520
Speaker 3: helmet to helmet stuff because of the concussions. Right decision.

336
00:16:26,800 --> 00:16:30,600
Speaker 3: But this, this isn't as clear cut as any of

337
00:16:30,600 --> 00:16:32,720
Speaker 3: those other things, any of those other rules. This is

338
00:16:32,760 --> 00:16:35,440
Speaker 3: a cloudy rule that you don't really know how to

339
00:16:35,600 --> 00:16:38,680
Speaker 3: enforce because you're gonna have to slow it down to

340
00:16:38,800 --> 00:16:41,440
Speaker 3: understand it. You're not just gonna see, oh, man, did

341
00:16:41,440 --> 00:16:43,640
Speaker 3: the player get injured. Okay, let's call the flag. Let's

342
00:16:43,680 --> 00:16:45,760
Speaker 3: let's throw the flag. The player got injured. If you

343
00:16:45,880 --> 00:16:48,320
Speaker 3: call a flag on every play a player gets injured,

344
00:16:48,320 --> 00:16:51,680
Speaker 3: you're gonna be calling dang near every play because it's

345
00:16:51,840 --> 00:16:54,480
Speaker 3: no it's a dangerous sport to tackle a human being.

346
00:16:54,800 --> 00:16:59,040
Speaker 3: You're risking injury because it's two human bodies aren't made

347
00:16:59,080 --> 00:17:02,400
Speaker 3: to collide, they're not made to tackle one another. We're

348
00:17:02,440 --> 00:17:05,280
Speaker 3: not built to do what is happening on the football

349
00:17:05,320 --> 00:17:08,240
Speaker 3: field during these times. So you're always gonna have injuries.

350
00:17:08,280 --> 00:17:10,760
Speaker 3: This I don't think is going to help with that.

351
00:17:11,200 --> 00:17:15,040
Speaker 3: You're not gonna help limit these injuries, like it's like

352
00:17:15,440 --> 00:17:18,040
Speaker 3: trying to plug holes in a wall. Mental that you

353
00:17:18,040 --> 00:17:20,000
Speaker 3: know what I mean. You push your finger somewhere else,

354
00:17:20,080 --> 00:17:22,560
Speaker 3: You're putting pressure somewhere else. The water's gonna come from

355
00:17:22,560 --> 00:17:24,760
Speaker 3: somewhere else. You put another pressure, water's gonna come from

356
00:17:24,800 --> 00:17:29,240
Speaker 3: somewhere else. It's just going to lead to more unintended consequences,

357
00:17:29,280 --> 00:17:31,919
Speaker 3: just like these other rules have. You're not going to

358
00:17:32,040 --> 00:17:35,879
Speaker 3: save this game and save injuries like this, You're just

359
00:17:35,960 --> 00:17:39,160
Speaker 3: going to lead to other injuries like That's why people

360
00:17:39,160 --> 00:17:41,960
Speaker 3: are like wire hamstrings up and why are achill these

361
00:17:42,040 --> 00:17:44,560
Speaker 3: injuries and calf injuries and why are this is why

362
00:17:44,600 --> 00:17:49,440
Speaker 3: are ACL's broken legs, broken ankles, broken fibulous. It's because

363
00:17:49,480 --> 00:17:53,240
Speaker 3: you made other You made other things impossible, So now

364
00:17:53,240 --> 00:17:55,480
Speaker 3: they have to find different ways to bring guys down.

365
00:17:58,400 --> 00:18:02,720
Speaker 1: We shall see, We shall We're gonna go to Seattle next.

366
00:18:02,720 --> 00:18:05,960
Speaker 1: But before we turn the page to Seattle, Richard, we

367
00:18:06,000 --> 00:18:09,359
Speaker 1: would be remiss if we didn't acknowledge what we received

368
00:18:09,359 --> 00:18:12,760
Speaker 1: in the mail Man. This is a historic moment for

369
00:18:12,800 --> 00:18:16,080
Speaker 1: the Richard Sherman Podcast, and we would not be here

370
00:18:16,680 --> 00:18:18,240

Speaker 3: We appreciate you. Thank you. Richard.

390
00:19:17,760 --> 00:19:21,760
Speaker 1: You are a goal oriented individual. What is the goal

391
00:19:21,800 --> 00:19:24,680
Speaker 1: for the Richard Sherman Podcast at this point next year?

392
00:19:24,880 --> 00:19:27,760
Speaker 1: Are we hitting two hundred, are we hitting two fifty?

393
00:19:27,840 --> 00:19:28,440
Speaker 3: What are we doing?

394
00:19:28,480 --> 00:19:29,080
Speaker 2: What's the goal?

395
00:19:29,480 --> 00:19:31,480
Speaker 3: Mitchell? We gotta go one hundred thousand at a time.

396
00:19:31,520 --> 00:19:34,159
Speaker 3: Hopefully we go to two hundred. If we do anything

397
00:19:34,240 --> 00:19:36,800
Speaker 3: other than that, Mitchell is icing on the cake and

398
00:19:36,840 --> 00:19:39,280
Speaker 3: we're grateful for it. But right now we're two hundred

399
00:19:39,320 --> 00:19:43,480
Speaker 3: thousand is our goal. But we're not gonna forget about

400
00:19:43,480 --> 00:19:45,560
Speaker 3: the first one hundred thousand. We're not gonna first forget

401
00:19:45,560 --> 00:19:48,640
Speaker 3: about the first thousand. You guys are the reason we're here,

402
00:19:48,760 --> 00:19:53,359
Speaker 3: and we're gonna keep making good, good, good videos, good

403
00:19:53,440 --> 00:19:54,320
Speaker 3: content for you.

404
00:19:54,920 --> 00:19:57,520
Speaker 2: Thank you, Thank you, Richard.

405
00:19:57,520 --> 00:20:01,879
Speaker 1: The Seattle Seahawks, they want defensive to Byron Murphy, you

406
00:20:01,920 --> 00:20:05,480
Speaker 1: know this, this kind of you expected them to go defense.

407
00:20:05,520 --> 00:20:07,959
Speaker 1: You just brought in a coach that's an aggressive, you know,

408
00:20:08,200 --> 00:20:11,640
Speaker 1: defensive background. He's ready to rock and roll there. Byron

409
00:20:11,720 --> 00:20:14,639
Speaker 1: Murphy did the Seattle Seahawks. What do you think of

410
00:20:14,640 --> 00:20:15,040
Speaker 1: the pick?

411
00:20:15,680 --> 00:20:17,000
Speaker 3: Well, I think it's a good pick. I think it's

412
00:20:17,000 --> 00:20:18,679
Speaker 3: a great value pick. I think he could have been

413
00:20:18,680 --> 00:20:20,880
Speaker 3: a top ten pick if he would have went to Chicago,

414
00:20:20,920 --> 00:20:22,600
Speaker 3: if you would have went to Atlanta, nobody would have

415
00:20:22,640 --> 00:20:24,720
Speaker 3: batted an eyelash at it. They would have said that's

416
00:20:24,840 --> 00:20:27,480
Speaker 3: quality pick. He was still there when they picked had

417
00:20:27,520 --> 00:20:31,480
Speaker 3: their pick. The only thing I question is they've spent

418
00:20:31,800 --> 00:20:34,960
Speaker 3: so much on the defensive line over the last couple

419
00:20:35,000 --> 00:20:39,359
Speaker 3: of years, so that's an embarrassment of riches and you

420
00:20:39,480 --> 00:20:42,440
Speaker 3: have to see this production. Obviously, Mike McDonald's coming in.

421
00:20:43,680 --> 00:20:47,600
Speaker 3: He had justin Metabeke last year had a phenomenal season

422
00:20:47,600 --> 00:20:50,560
Speaker 3: with thirteen sacks. He's expecting this kid to come in

423
00:20:50,640 --> 00:20:52,880
Speaker 3: and played that role for him. But you still got

424
00:20:52,880 --> 00:20:56,040
Speaker 3: guys like Leonard Williams. You know, Leonard Williams is going

425
00:20:56,119 --> 00:20:58,679
Speaker 3: to come in and make an impact. They've spent a

426
00:20:58,720 --> 00:21:01,760
Speaker 3: lot of money Draymont, and they gave a big contract,

427
00:21:01,760 --> 00:21:05,240
Speaker 3: I think seventeen million a year too, So you're spending

428
00:21:05,280 --> 00:21:07,119
Speaker 3: a lot of money on this d line. And then

429
00:21:07,160 --> 00:21:09,680
Speaker 3: you got young guys boy A Mafey. You got young

430
00:21:09,720 --> 00:21:12,959
Speaker 3: guys that have gotten to the quarterback pretty consistently. So

431
00:21:13,840 --> 00:21:16,480
Speaker 3: I'm just hoping it all pays off because that's that's

432
00:21:16,520 --> 00:21:18,800
Speaker 3: where they've invested a lot, and that's where you win

433
00:21:18,960 --> 00:21:20,440
Speaker 3: this league. You get a lot of pressure, you get

434
00:21:20,440 --> 00:21:22,560
Speaker 3: a lot of pressure on the quarterback, you stop the run,

435
00:21:22,880 --> 00:21:25,959
Speaker 3: you win a lot of ballgames. So and then they

436
00:21:26,000 --> 00:21:28,600
Speaker 3: got some help on the offensive line. Another hole that

437
00:21:28,720 --> 00:21:32,439
Speaker 3: was filled with the potential day one starter at guard.

438
00:21:32,520 --> 00:21:34,600
Speaker 3: I think that's a really good pick. I think this

439
00:21:34,680 --> 00:21:37,040
Speaker 3: has been a quality off season for the Seattle Seahawks

440
00:21:37,760 --> 00:21:39,960
Speaker 3: from the picking the coach. You know, I wasn't happy

441
00:21:39,960 --> 00:21:43,240
Speaker 3: with the changing of the guard, what they did with Pete,

442
00:21:43,640 --> 00:21:45,760
Speaker 3: but it is what it is. You know, Mike is

443
00:21:45,800 --> 00:21:49,879
Speaker 3: making some changes. You know, they poked fun at you know,

444
00:21:49,920 --> 00:21:53,959
Speaker 3: because they removed a hallway worth of pictures on your

445
00:21:53,960 --> 00:21:55,960
Speaker 3: way to the meeting rooms that the players have to

446
00:21:55,960 --> 00:21:58,040
Speaker 3: see every day. I guess they didn't want them seeing

447
00:21:58,040 --> 00:22:00,439
Speaker 3: our ugly mugs up there all the time, you know,

448
00:22:00,560 --> 00:22:04,399
Speaker 3: making history for Seattle. But when you do that, you

449
00:22:04,520 --> 00:22:06,560
Speaker 3: just gotta win. You gotta hang up banners yourself, you

450
00:22:06,600 --> 00:22:08,960
Speaker 3: gotta you gotta make memories yourself. You know, you can't.

451
00:22:09,200 --> 00:22:12,200
Speaker 3: Can't be sitting up there putting participation trophies up and

452
00:22:12,320 --> 00:22:15,760
Speaker 3: replacing you know, Super Bowl all pros, you know, And

453
00:22:15,800 --> 00:22:19,600
Speaker 3: I think they'll have that. They they got guys that

454
00:22:19,600 --> 00:22:21,920
Speaker 3: they believe in, They got a system. I think Mike

455
00:22:22,000 --> 00:22:24,560
Speaker 3: McDonald's is one of the smartest defensive coaches in football

456
00:22:24,600 --> 00:22:26,560
Speaker 3: right now, one of the greatest minds. And everything that

457
00:22:26,560 --> 00:22:28,760
Speaker 3: I'm hearing in the building is that the guys are

458
00:22:28,760 --> 00:22:31,919
Speaker 3: receiving him well. He's running things different. He's running a

459
00:22:32,000 --> 00:22:35,760
Speaker 3: very tight ship. But the enthusiasm, the attention of details there.

460
00:22:36,040 --> 00:22:38,800
Speaker 3: The players respect him, They're they're they're excited to play

461
00:22:38,840 --> 00:22:42,000
Speaker 3: for him. I'm I'm interested to see what Grubb does

462
00:22:42,040 --> 00:22:44,200
Speaker 3: on the offensive side of the football. You know, Gino

463
00:22:44,440 --> 00:22:46,879
Speaker 3: can get the job done. They needed some help on

464
00:22:46,920 --> 00:22:48,959
Speaker 3: the offensive line. They needed to get healthy at the

465
00:22:49,000 --> 00:22:52,040
Speaker 3: tackles between Abe Lucas and Charles Cross and I think

466
00:22:52,080 --> 00:22:54,120
Speaker 3: those guys will come in healthy. I think they they

467
00:22:54,160 --> 00:22:57,199
Speaker 3: are those are foundational pieces. I don't expect them to

468
00:22:57,200 --> 00:22:59,760
Speaker 3: go anywhere. I think they'll have great seasons in year three.

469
00:23:00,240 --> 00:23:04,720
Speaker 3: I think Witherspoon, Devin Witherspoon is a foundational piece of

470
00:23:04,840 --> 00:23:07,280
Speaker 3: this team. I like them keeping Jordan Love after a

471
00:23:07,320 --> 00:23:10,960
Speaker 3: Pro Bowl season. I think they have quality, you know,

472
00:23:11,119 --> 00:23:14,119
Speaker 3: being able to keep Tyler Lockett, DK metcalf is going

473
00:23:14,200 --> 00:23:19,080
Speaker 3: to have another great season. H jsn is gonna continue

474
00:23:19,119 --> 00:23:21,960
Speaker 3: to find his role, find his niche your boy K nine.

475
00:23:22,400 --> 00:23:25,560
Speaker 3: I think they have all the pieces. It's just getting

476
00:23:25,560 --> 00:23:29,200
Speaker 3: an understanding having coordinators that having coordinated in the league,

477
00:23:29,280 --> 00:23:32,359
Speaker 3: it's an adjustment sometimes. So I'm hoping they adjust early,

478
00:23:32,720 --> 00:23:35,720
Speaker 3: and they they live up to the expectations. I expect

479
00:23:35,760 --> 00:23:36,760
Speaker 3: them to be in the playoffs.

480
00:23:37,320 --> 00:23:39,280
Speaker 1: Well, you know, rich I like what they did here,

481
00:23:39,400 --> 00:23:40,840
Speaker 1: and I think you hit the nail on the head.

482
00:23:40,840 --> 00:23:43,439
Speaker 1: What it's gonna come down to is getting healthy and

483
00:23:43,520 --> 00:23:46,880
Speaker 1: staying healthy with this team. You know, you know, crossing

484
00:23:46,960 --> 00:23:49,359
Speaker 1: Lucas on your offensive tack let's both go down the

485
00:23:49,400 --> 00:23:50,520
Speaker 1: same time last year.

486
00:23:50,560 --> 00:23:51,400
Speaker 2: That is damaging.

487
00:23:51,400 --> 00:23:53,440
Speaker 1: And then they went into Detroit without both of them

488
00:23:53,440 --> 00:23:56,199
Speaker 1: and beat Detroit. You know, this team has the fire power.

489
00:23:56,240 --> 00:23:58,560
Speaker 1: They got jsn who came on late and looks like

490
00:23:58,600 --> 00:24:01,359
Speaker 1: if he can take that second year. You know, obviously

491
00:24:01,760 --> 00:24:04,480
Speaker 1: you got Tyler Lockett, who is the pros pro I

492
00:24:04,520 --> 00:24:07,959
Speaker 1: mean DK Metcalf. The list goes on, but Kenneth Walker.

493
00:24:08,000 --> 00:24:11,600
Speaker 1: The offensive tackles. Gino certainly need to stay healthy. What

494
00:24:11,640 --> 00:24:15,199
Speaker 1: they're doing on the defensive line, I mean Richard, Tyrek

495
00:24:15,280 --> 00:24:18,160
Speaker 1: Wooland and Devin Witherspoon on the outside. If they can

496
00:24:18,200 --> 00:24:20,639
Speaker 1: get some pass rush going, especially through the interior of

497
00:24:20,720 --> 00:24:24,080
Speaker 1: that defensive line, look out, Seattle might be a force

498
00:24:24,200 --> 00:24:29,600
Speaker 1: going forward. They've gott an opportunity here. I want to

499
00:24:29,600 --> 00:24:32,320
Speaker 1: take it to your other team, the San Francisco forty

500
00:24:32,359 --> 00:24:35,840
Speaker 1: nine ers who we talked about it earlier. I mean,

501
00:24:36,040 --> 00:24:40,480
Speaker 1: once Eric Armstead signed with the Jacksonville Jaguars, what was

502
00:24:40,480 --> 00:24:43,480
Speaker 1: the panic meter going on in Richard Sherman's head? And then,

503
00:24:43,720 --> 00:24:45,680
Speaker 1: you know, we hear throughout the draft, are they gonna

504
00:24:45,680 --> 00:24:47,959
Speaker 1: trade Deebo? Are they gonna trade Ayuk? Are they going

505
00:24:48,000 --> 00:24:49,480
Speaker 1: to be able to resign Ayuk?

506
00:24:50,000 --> 00:24:50,159
Speaker 2: You know?

507
00:24:50,200 --> 00:24:52,159
Speaker 1: And then they go out and draft a wide receiver

508
00:24:52,280 --> 00:24:56,199
Speaker 1: first round, adding further to the speculation. And I like

509
00:24:56,280 --> 00:24:58,760
Speaker 1: the receiver Ricky Purcell that they drafted. You know, they're

510
00:24:58,760 --> 00:25:01,720
Speaker 1: comping him to Adam Feeling, you know, and he's gonna

511
00:25:01,760 --> 00:25:03,240
Speaker 1: fit in perfectly with the Are.

512
00:25:03,160 --> 00:25:06,359
Speaker 3: You to the white guy? Why do they always like,

513
00:25:06,480 --> 00:25:11,719
Speaker 3: didn't somebody to the white guy? Come on, now, come on,

514
00:25:11,840 --> 00:25:15,879
Speaker 3: he's pretty, he's pretty shifty. Like you couldn't do the digs,

515
00:25:15,920 --> 00:25:18,680
Speaker 3: You couldn't compliment to anybody else. You know, he's different,

516
00:25:18,720 --> 00:25:21,280
Speaker 3: got to receive it in digs. But still you couldn't

517
00:25:21,960 --> 00:25:23,240
Speaker 3: have to comp him to the white guy.

518
00:25:24,119 --> 00:25:25,159
Speaker 2: They absolutely have to.

519
00:25:25,320 --> 00:25:28,359
Speaker 1: Richard, what are your thoughts of the Niners coming away

520
00:25:28,400 --> 00:25:31,320
Speaker 1: after this draft? Is the panic meter dip down a

521
00:25:31,359 --> 00:25:33,520
Speaker 1: little bit? Are you still nervous going into the season.

522
00:25:33,880 --> 00:25:35,760
Speaker 3: Well, it wasn't you know. I don't think it was

523
00:25:35,800 --> 00:25:38,080
Speaker 3: a panic meter. It was just change. You know, Change

524
00:25:38,119 --> 00:25:40,400
Speaker 3: is always scared, just like Seattle Seahawks. You know, you're

525
00:25:40,440 --> 00:25:42,920
Speaker 3: you're switching a head coaches, you know the new regime,

526
00:25:43,040 --> 00:25:45,800
Speaker 3: you're making changes. Change is always scary, you know, because

527
00:25:45,800 --> 00:25:50,000
Speaker 3: it's unknown. And life without Eric Armstead is not unknown.

528
00:25:50,080 --> 00:25:52,479
Speaker 3: You know. I guess you've had stints throughout the season.

529
00:25:52,600 --> 00:25:55,439
Speaker 3: You've had games throughout his career where you guys have

530
00:25:55,520 --> 00:25:57,719
Speaker 3: had to you know, San Francisco fort Niners have had

531
00:25:57,720 --> 00:26:00,560
Speaker 3: to play without Eric Armstead and they've done fine, but

532
00:26:00,800 --> 00:26:04,600
Speaker 3: they also have seen dips and their run game. You know,

533
00:26:05,520 --> 00:26:08,520
Speaker 3: they've played worse against the run. They've had less pressure,

534
00:26:08,560 --> 00:26:11,240
Speaker 3: gotten less sacks, things like that, and I think they

535
00:26:11,280 --> 00:26:14,600
Speaker 3: tried to address that in a number of ways. I

536
00:26:14,640 --> 00:26:17,119
Speaker 3: think they might feel like they got some young guys

537
00:26:17,240 --> 00:26:20,000
Speaker 3: who can step it into the fold and make a difference.

538
00:26:21,119 --> 00:26:23,280
Speaker 3: But there's still some concern there. Until I see it

539
00:26:23,320 --> 00:26:25,560
Speaker 3: on the field, Until I see the difference, until I

540
00:26:25,600 --> 00:26:28,399
Speaker 3: see them deal that hole with guys that can produce

541
00:26:28,440 --> 00:26:32,000
Speaker 3: and I see the defense, I'm gonna have questions. But

542
00:26:32,600 --> 00:26:35,480
Speaker 3: I like the per Sel pick because it's a luxury pick.

543
00:26:35,640 --> 00:26:38,000
Speaker 3: You know, the Niners have a great roster. They have

544
00:26:38,040 --> 00:26:41,439
Speaker 3: a great roster. They don't have any really really glaring holes.

545
00:26:41,480 --> 00:26:44,520
Speaker 3: I think the offensive line is a concern that I

546
00:26:44,520 --> 00:26:47,600
Speaker 3: would have felt like needed to be addressed. But they

547
00:26:47,640 --> 00:26:51,000
Speaker 3: picked up some guys that I guess they feel like

548
00:26:51,440 --> 00:26:54,760
Speaker 3: will fit well in their system. But that's the only

549
00:26:54,800 --> 00:26:57,639
Speaker 3: hole where you're looking at this team like this is

550
00:26:58,240 --> 00:27:00,880
Speaker 3: where we would need to pick a guy, and they

551
00:27:00,880 --> 00:27:03,239
Speaker 3: clearly didn't see a guy they liked. I think they

552
00:27:03,320 --> 00:27:05,680
Speaker 3: feel like, man, if they can get the ball down

553
00:27:05,680 --> 00:27:07,560
Speaker 3: the field, they can get the ball in these guys' hands.

554
00:27:07,800 --> 00:27:10,360
Speaker 3: Brock perties getting the ball out pretty quick, so they're

555
00:27:10,400 --> 00:27:14,159
Speaker 3: not feeling ass pressed to get offensive line help. And

556
00:27:14,200 --> 00:27:17,280
Speaker 3: the plays that beat him last year were unblocked guys

557
00:27:17,520 --> 00:27:19,880
Speaker 3: coming free. It wasn't like they're necessarily beating guys with

558
00:27:19,960 --> 00:27:23,679
Speaker 3: bad reads, bad protection, bad understanding of the scheme that

559
00:27:23,800 --> 00:27:27,520
Speaker 3: got them beat. And so I like to pick. I

560
00:27:27,560 --> 00:27:30,000
Speaker 3: think Brandon Ayuk is about to get his contracts, he's

561
00:27:30,040 --> 00:27:32,480
Speaker 3: about to get paid. I don't think he or Deebo

562
00:27:32,560 --> 00:27:35,040
Speaker 3: Samuel sees this as any kind of threat to them

563
00:27:35,119 --> 00:27:38,639
Speaker 3: both of them. You know, once, once Brandon gets his money,

564
00:27:39,119 --> 00:27:42,639
Speaker 3: would have gotten paid and be very comfortable with high

565
00:27:42,640 --> 00:27:47,280
Speaker 3: paid contracts. I think brock Perty will have more weapons,

566
00:27:47,320 --> 00:27:50,760
Speaker 3: and more is always better. Christian mccaffery's coming back into

567
00:27:50,760 --> 00:27:53,239
Speaker 3: the fold. They don't have a lot of holes that

568
00:27:53,320 --> 00:27:55,320
Speaker 3: you could say, Man, they need to address this. They

569
00:27:55,320 --> 00:27:57,520
Speaker 3: need to address this. They got some corners. I mean,

570
00:27:57,560 --> 00:27:59,640
Speaker 3: they got a corner, they got a safety, they got

571
00:27:59,640 --> 00:28:03,439
Speaker 3: a deal, they got some offensive line help. They touched

572
00:28:03,440 --> 00:28:05,440
Speaker 3: on a couple of different things, a couple of different

573
00:28:05,440 --> 00:28:07,760
Speaker 3: places that they needed to touch on, and so we'll

574
00:28:07,760 --> 00:28:09,679
Speaker 3: see how it works out. You know, maybe some of

575
00:28:09,680 --> 00:28:11,600
Speaker 3: these guys won't even make the roster because it's a

576
00:28:11,640 --> 00:28:12,480
Speaker 3: tough roster to make.

577
00:28:13,480 --> 00:28:16,399
Speaker 1: Well, Richard, there's a handful of teams that are nipping

578
00:28:16,440 --> 00:28:18,439
Speaker 1: at their heels. There's even some that are nipping at

579
00:28:18,440 --> 00:28:22,359
Speaker 1: their kneecaps, if you will. Has the forty nine ers

580
00:28:23,000 --> 00:28:26,399
Speaker 1: done enough to stay at top? You know, it's call

581
00:28:26,440 --> 00:28:29,760
Speaker 1: it our mid offseason power rings. Here are they number

582
00:28:29,760 --> 00:28:31,280
Speaker 1: one in the clubhouse for you right now?

583
00:28:31,359 --> 00:28:31,639
Speaker 3: Richard?

584
00:28:32,000 --> 00:28:34,680
Speaker 1: Are you a little nervous about a team team out

585
00:28:34,720 --> 00:28:35,680
Speaker 1: my way in Detroit?

586
00:28:36,359 --> 00:28:39,800
Speaker 3: Well, Mitchell, I mean I'm not gonna the draft in

587
00:28:39,840 --> 00:28:42,959
Speaker 3: the offseason unless people lose your quarterback or you know,

588
00:28:43,000 --> 00:28:47,720
Speaker 3: there's monumental foundational moves that are changing. I'm not gonna

589
00:28:47,800 --> 00:28:49,920
Speaker 3: judge a team that just went to the Super Bowl

590
00:28:50,000 --> 00:28:52,440
Speaker 3: as having, you know, to mean anything other than second,

591
00:28:53,040 --> 00:28:55,880
Speaker 3: until we get on the field and something changes, you know.

592
00:28:56,040 --> 00:28:59,560
Speaker 3: Especially Detroit has had a fantastic offseason, but they got

593
00:28:59,560 --> 00:29:01,600
Speaker 3: beat out to San Francisco forty nineers in a game

594
00:29:01,640 --> 00:29:04,600
Speaker 3: that they pretty much dominated majority of the game. So

595
00:29:04,680 --> 00:29:06,720
Speaker 3: I'm not gonna take away the credit that I would

596
00:29:06,720 --> 00:29:09,560
Speaker 3: give Detroit, but they still got beat in the game.

597
00:29:09,640 --> 00:29:11,640
Speaker 3: So until they get on the field and they get

598
00:29:11,640 --> 00:29:13,640
Speaker 3: to the Promised Land and they get to know where

599
00:29:13,640 --> 00:29:15,720
Speaker 3: they need to be, I'm gonna have them third. But

600
00:29:15,760 --> 00:29:18,720
Speaker 3: they're gonna be third, Mitchell, They're gonna be third. They're

601
00:29:18,720 --> 00:29:22,840
Speaker 3: definitely third. I think they're right there. I think Buffalo

602
00:29:22,960 --> 00:29:27,640
Speaker 3: without Diggs is in an uphill battle. I think Houston's

603
00:29:27,680 --> 00:29:30,000
Speaker 3: gonna sneak their way into the top five to start

604
00:29:30,040 --> 00:29:34,000
Speaker 3: the season in the preseason ranks, maybe six, But I

605
00:29:34,000 --> 00:29:37,200
Speaker 3: think is Kansas City one, h San Francisco two. Still

606
00:29:37,240 --> 00:29:38,400
Speaker 3: For me, I.

607
00:29:38,320 --> 00:29:41,680
Speaker 1: Respect that Richard, we got to talk about my Lions though,

608
00:29:41,720 --> 00:29:45,320
Speaker 1: because they were making some noise pre draft, they traded

609
00:29:45,440 --> 00:29:48,360
Speaker 1: or they paid Iman Ross Saint Brown. He was quickly

610
00:29:48,400 --> 00:29:50,560
Speaker 1: die number one paid wide out in the league for

611
00:29:50,680 --> 00:29:53,120
Speaker 1: all of twenty four hours until A. J. Brown resigned,

612
00:29:53,680 --> 00:29:56,160
Speaker 1: and they also paid Penne Sewell, you know, this is

613
00:29:56,200 --> 00:29:58,840
Speaker 1: a team that you come here, you perform, you become

614
00:29:58,880 --> 00:30:00,680
Speaker 1: part of the culture. They're gonna to take care of

615
00:30:00,720 --> 00:30:04,640
Speaker 1: their guys. That's a championship pedigree, rich and they're building

616
00:30:04,680 --> 00:30:07,200
Speaker 1: it the right way. They go into the draft. Their

617
00:30:07,240 --> 00:30:10,400
Speaker 1: most glaring need has always been defensive back. I mean,

618
00:30:10,440 --> 00:30:13,800
Speaker 1: that's what held them back last year. And they trade

619
00:30:13,800 --> 00:30:16,120
Speaker 1: for your boy, Carlton Davis. You played with them down

620
00:30:16,120 --> 00:30:18,320
Speaker 1: in Tampa and you told me you love that signing.

621
00:30:18,800 --> 00:30:21,160
Speaker 1: But then they doubled down with arryn Arnold and then

622
00:30:21,200 --> 00:30:23,520
Speaker 1: they tripled down with Edius Rackstrawe. I mean, this is

623
00:30:23,520 --> 00:30:27,720
Speaker 1: a team they identify their one true weakness and they're

624
00:30:27,760 --> 00:30:30,040
Speaker 1: gonna make it one of their biggest strengths on the roster.

625
00:30:30,680 --> 00:30:34,640
Speaker 1: Richard brad Holmes has totally changed the culture over here.

626
00:30:34,680 --> 00:30:38,360
Speaker 1: He identifies as drafting the best player available on his

627
00:30:38,480 --> 00:30:42,320
Speaker 1: board positionless drafting. He was wearing a hoodie that' said

628
00:30:42,360 --> 00:30:46,360
Speaker 1: positional villain. And he said, I've heard this rhetoric about

629
00:30:46,400 --> 00:30:50,560
Speaker 1: positional value. Last time I checked. The position doesn't play football.

630
00:30:50,800 --> 00:30:53,960
Speaker 1: I'm looking for football players to play football. They go

631
00:30:54,080 --> 00:30:57,880
Speaker 1: back to back corner. Richard, Do you like this strategy

632
00:30:57,960 --> 00:30:59,240
Speaker 1: by Brad Holmes and Alliance?

633
00:31:00,040 --> 00:31:02,040
Speaker 3: Yeah? I do. I like it because that's what you're

634
00:31:02,040 --> 00:31:03,680
Speaker 3: gonna have to deal with. You know, we just talked

635
00:31:03,680 --> 00:31:07,040
Speaker 3: about Chicago and in your division, you got you know,

636
00:31:07,240 --> 00:31:11,200
Speaker 3: the the Green Bay Packers. They play a bunch of

637
00:31:11,240 --> 00:31:13,720
Speaker 3: young guys that can play. You know that that ball

638
00:31:13,760 --> 00:31:16,760
Speaker 3: can go to any one of them, and I think

639
00:31:16,800 --> 00:31:18,440
Speaker 3: you have to be able to cover them. You talked

640
00:31:18,480 --> 00:31:21,480
Speaker 3: about Caleb Williams and his weapons with now Keenan Allen,

641
00:31:21,560 --> 00:31:24,040
Speaker 3: DJ Moore, Roma doons that you got to get those

642
00:31:24,040 --> 00:31:27,920
Speaker 3: guys covered. You gotta have corners to cover. Minnesota Vikings

643
00:31:28,240 --> 00:31:30,560
Speaker 3: they have two really good receivers. You know, maybe you

644
00:31:30,600 --> 00:31:34,920
Speaker 3: have three, and so in this league, you've got to

645
00:31:35,000 --> 00:31:37,120
Speaker 3: be able to cover these guys, Kansas City Chiefs, if

646
00:31:37,120 --> 00:31:38,760
Speaker 3: you want to beat them, you better have some speed

647
00:31:38,760 --> 00:31:40,800
Speaker 3: and you better have some corners that can cover. And

648
00:31:40,840 --> 00:31:43,520
Speaker 3: that's who you're gonna have to beat in these championship

649
00:31:43,560 --> 00:31:45,800
Speaker 3: games to get to where you want to be, to

650
00:31:45,960 --> 00:31:48,960
Speaker 3: to win super Bowls, to hang the trophy, to hang banners,

651
00:31:49,160 --> 00:31:50,840
Speaker 3: You're gonna have to beat these teams. This is a

652
00:31:50,880 --> 00:31:53,240
Speaker 3: passing league now, so you never have too many corners,

653
00:31:53,560 --> 00:31:55,360
Speaker 3: and you never know how that's gonna pan out. You

654
00:31:55,440 --> 00:31:57,040
Speaker 3: might draft the corner in the first round, you might

655
00:31:57,200 --> 00:31:58,880
Speaker 3: draft one in the fifth, and the fifth rounder might

656
00:31:58,880 --> 00:32:01,160
Speaker 3: be better than the first. You never know, but you

657
00:32:01,240 --> 00:32:03,120
Speaker 3: got to give. You got to have multiple bites at

658
00:32:03,120 --> 00:32:04,640
Speaker 3: the apple, and I think that's what they're trying to do.

659
00:32:04,680 --> 00:32:07,320
Speaker 3: They're trying to give themselves quality depth. Carlton Davis is

660
00:32:07,360 --> 00:32:09,880
Speaker 3: a proven player in this league. You got to find

661
00:32:09,880 --> 00:32:12,680
Speaker 3: somebody next to them. And they're giving themselves multiple bites

662
00:32:12,720 --> 00:32:15,120
Speaker 3: at the apple. And Terry on Arnold might be the guy,

663
00:32:15,480 --> 00:32:17,760
Speaker 3: he may not, who knows, but they're going to find

664
00:32:17,800 --> 00:32:20,600
Speaker 3: them and they're definitely trying their best to create a

665
00:32:20,640 --> 00:32:24,760
Speaker 3: strong roster homegrown talent. I like what they're doing. I mean,

666
00:32:24,800 --> 00:32:28,120
Speaker 3: Aiden Hutchinson's getting better. The guys they have drafted. Piney

667
00:32:28,200 --> 00:32:31,560
Speaker 3: seul Is, you know, a top five tackle in this league.

668
00:32:31,920 --> 00:32:35,200
Speaker 3: They are drafting quality guys and it's starting up front,

669
00:32:35,200 --> 00:32:37,440
Speaker 3: but now they're working their way back and I think

670
00:32:37,440 --> 00:32:39,960
Speaker 3: they're going to be again a quality opponent. I got

671
00:32:39,960 --> 00:32:41,560
Speaker 3: them third in my Power rankings.

672
00:32:42,080 --> 00:32:42,520
Speaker 2: I love it.

673
00:32:42,600 --> 00:32:45,560
Speaker 1: Rich One of the most common sense things. I think

674
00:32:45,600 --> 00:32:48,800
Speaker 1: Brad Holmes is good at one in doubt draft someone

675
00:32:48,840 --> 00:32:51,920
Speaker 1: from Alabama, and that's what he's done. The last four

676
00:32:51,960 --> 00:32:55,520
Speaker 1: guys he's picked early. I mean Jamiir Gibbs, Jamison Williams,

677
00:32:55,760 --> 00:32:59,680
Speaker 1: Bryan Branch and now Terry and Arnold. These guys come

678
00:32:59,720 --> 00:33:02,720
Speaker 1: from a winning pedigree and they're bringing it here to Detroit.

679
00:33:03,200 --> 00:33:04,520
Speaker 2: I love it, Richard.

680
00:33:04,600 --> 00:33:06,760
Speaker 1: I want to talk about the quarterbacks that were drafted

681
00:33:06,760 --> 00:33:10,840
Speaker 1: in Round one. We've already addressed Caleb Williams going to Chicago,

682
00:33:10,880 --> 00:33:13,640
Speaker 1: but the guys that flelling behind him, Jade and Daniels

683
00:33:13,720 --> 00:33:18,480
Speaker 1: go number two overall, Drake May going third. Obviously, we

684
00:33:18,560 --> 00:33:21,520
Speaker 1: already talked about Michael Pennix as well, but JJ McCarthy

685
00:33:21,560 --> 00:33:24,959
Speaker 1: and bow Knicks. Richard, what are your thoughts about the

686
00:33:25,040 --> 00:33:28,120
Speaker 1: team fit about these guys. I mean, which which quarterback

687
00:33:28,120 --> 00:33:30,000
Speaker 1: do you think having the most early success?

688
00:33:32,280 --> 00:33:34,960
Speaker 3: Well, I think Caleb's gonna have the greatest chance. Well,

689
00:33:35,000 --> 00:33:36,880
Speaker 3: I just don't know. About that offensive line. But I

690
00:33:36,920 --> 00:33:39,160
Speaker 3: think he has the weapons around him. He has veteran

691
00:33:39,240 --> 00:33:41,760
Speaker 3: receivers who have had success in this league who can

692
00:33:41,800 --> 00:33:44,200
Speaker 3: take a little past and make it a lot in

693
00:33:44,320 --> 00:33:47,440
Speaker 3: Keenan Allen and Dj Moore. I think Roma Dunsay. It's

694
00:33:47,520 --> 00:33:51,880
Speaker 3: great contested catch guy, and so they put pieces around

695
00:33:51,960 --> 00:33:53,760
Speaker 3: him to give him a lot of success. I think

696
00:33:53,840 --> 00:33:57,080
Speaker 3: Drake May you know the Patriots system, you know it's

697
00:33:57,120 --> 00:34:00,000
Speaker 3: always been good for quarterbacks. Well, I guess it hasn't

698
00:34:00,120 --> 00:34:02,920
Speaker 3: been the last two years. But I think they're gonna

699
00:34:02,920 --> 00:34:06,080
Speaker 3: try to to build something around him, to build quality

700
00:34:06,120 --> 00:34:10,080
Speaker 3: around him. I think Jade and Daniel, I think he

701
00:34:10,880 --> 00:34:13,880
Speaker 3: and Dan Quinn and those guys out there and Washington

702
00:34:13,920 --> 00:34:15,839
Speaker 3: are going to have a really good season. I think

703
00:34:15,920 --> 00:34:18,239
Speaker 3: he's going to be a phenomenal coach, motivating. They have

704
00:34:18,280 --> 00:34:21,440
Speaker 3: a lot more talent than people understand out there. But

705
00:34:21,600 --> 00:34:24,839
Speaker 3: the commanders, Bobby Wagner in they're anchoring that defense with

706
00:34:24,920 --> 00:34:29,400
Speaker 3: a really, you know, really good defensive line that's going

707
00:34:29,480 --> 00:34:32,440
Speaker 3: to cause a lot of problems for guys. They already

708
00:34:32,440 --> 00:34:34,719
Speaker 3: had the receivers and they're going to continue to have him.

709
00:34:35,520 --> 00:34:38,120
Speaker 3: The things that he can do with his legs I

710
00:34:38,160 --> 00:34:42,479
Speaker 3: think the Denver Broncos and Sean Payton being in love

711
00:34:42,520 --> 00:34:45,160
Speaker 3: with bow Knicks, the way he says he has been

712
00:34:46,040 --> 00:34:48,640
Speaker 3: since he's been you know, they had all these meetings

713
00:34:48,680 --> 00:34:51,600
Speaker 3: with him, matt Winham in person, the way he digested

714
00:34:51,640 --> 00:34:54,560
Speaker 3: their playbook really quickly over twenty four hours and was

715
00:34:54,600 --> 00:34:58,000
Speaker 3: able to read regurgitated the next day, and on the

716
00:34:58,080 --> 00:35:02,560
Speaker 3: field really run their playbook for him. I think they

717
00:35:02,640 --> 00:35:05,480
Speaker 3: feel really comfortable with them. I just I just don't

718
00:35:05,480 --> 00:35:07,399
Speaker 3: know what they're gonna do. You know, they lost Jerry

719
00:35:07,480 --> 00:35:10,440
Speaker 3: Judy out there, so some of these guys just aren't

720
00:35:10,440 --> 00:35:14,000
Speaker 3: set up for the most success because of what they have.

721
00:35:14,200 --> 00:35:16,400
Speaker 3: And then we already talked about Pinnis. He's gonna be

722
00:35:16,480 --> 00:35:21,200
Speaker 3: behind He's gonna be behind Kirk Cousins, so he's probably

723
00:35:21,400 --> 00:35:23,480
Speaker 3: likely not gonna play this year. McCarthy, I think is

724
00:35:23,520 --> 00:35:25,920
Speaker 3: gonna be in a really good situation with Kevin O'Connell.

725
00:35:26,200 --> 00:35:29,160
Speaker 3: That offense translates really well to the offense that he

726
00:35:29,280 --> 00:35:32,800
Speaker 3: ran at Michigan. They're gonna they're gonna put him in position,

727
00:35:32,840 --> 00:35:35,480
Speaker 3: they're gonna run the ball, play action. I mean, you

728
00:35:35,600 --> 00:35:37,759
Speaker 3: got one of the best receivers of the National Football league,

729
00:35:37,760 --> 00:35:41,279
Speaker 3: and justin Jefferson, I think, you know, Jordan Addison is

730
00:35:41,280 --> 00:35:43,439
Speaker 3: gonna be a really good receiver in this in this league,

731
00:35:43,520 --> 00:35:46,800
Speaker 3: so he has weapons that he can throw to. So

732
00:35:46,960 --> 00:35:50,200
Speaker 3: I you just never know, though, Mitchell, You just never know.

733
00:35:50,440 --> 00:35:53,800
Speaker 3: I mean, they're all set up for Deacon success on paper,

734
00:35:53,880 --> 00:35:55,840
Speaker 3: it sounds like, but then you get out there and

735
00:35:55,920 --> 00:35:58,840
Speaker 3: some of these guys play well, and then sometimes you

736
00:35:58,960 --> 00:36:01,239
Speaker 3: end up with Brock Perdy. He's a guy in the

737
00:36:01,320 --> 00:36:04,520
Speaker 3: Super Bowl, Mitchell, So I don't know what just said, Mitchell.

738
00:36:04,560 --> 00:36:07,640
Speaker 3: They drafted Trey Lance and Brock Perdy took him to

739
00:36:07,719 --> 00:36:10,600
Speaker 3: the Super Bowl. So you know, Mitchell, anything can happen,

740
00:36:11,480 --> 00:36:12,480
Speaker 3: Anything can happen.

741
00:36:12,719 --> 00:36:16,960
Speaker 1: I'm certainly interested to see how McCarthy plays in Minnesota.

742
00:36:17,040 --> 00:36:20,680
Speaker 1: You know, he obviously played in a run heavy college

743
00:36:20,760 --> 00:36:23,759
Speaker 1: program in Michigan, but man, every time he had to

744
00:36:23,800 --> 00:36:26,640
Speaker 1: throw the football, he was making some impressive throws. You know,

745
00:36:26,719 --> 00:36:29,600
Speaker 1: he's a guy that makes quick reads. I think he's

746
00:36:29,600 --> 00:36:32,160
Speaker 1: going to fit in really well there. JJ to JJ

747
00:36:32,400 --> 00:36:34,279
Speaker 1: is what's going to be going on up in Minnesota.

748
00:36:34,680 --> 00:36:36,880
Speaker 1: And then Jayden Daniels Man, I mean, this is a

749
00:36:36,920 --> 00:36:38,880
Speaker 1: guy I remember when he was playing with herm Edwards

750
00:36:38,920 --> 00:36:42,000
Speaker 1: at ASU the freshman year, true freshman year, Like, who

751
00:36:42,120 --> 00:36:44,319
Speaker 1: in the world is that kid? You know to see

752
00:36:44,400 --> 00:36:46,359
Speaker 1: him come all this way when the Heisman and now

753
00:36:46,440 --> 00:36:49,319
Speaker 1: being you know, heading up the Commanders. The Commanders had

754
00:36:49,320 --> 00:36:51,919
Speaker 1: a sneaky good draft, rich for those that haven't looked

755
00:36:51,920 --> 00:36:53,320
Speaker 1: at it, they had a ton of picks.

756
00:36:53,600 --> 00:36:54,760
Speaker 2: They got a ton of value.

757
00:36:55,080 --> 00:36:57,839
Speaker 1: This team might if it's not this year, maybe next year,

758
00:36:57,880 --> 00:36:59,880
Speaker 1: but Washington is going to be on the come up.

759
00:37:00,880 --> 00:37:03,600
Speaker 3: Richard, got it done.

760
00:37:04,160 --> 00:37:07,240
Speaker 1: There you go, Richard, before we part, paint the picture

761
00:37:07,280 --> 00:37:10,239
Speaker 1: for the fans here, what like, what are these draftees

762
00:37:10,320 --> 00:37:11,080
Speaker 1: going through right now?

763
00:37:11,160 --> 00:37:13,960
Speaker 2: Like what's next? What was your experience? Like you just

764
00:37:14,080 --> 00:37:16,160
Speaker 2: finished up the draft? What happens?

765
00:37:16,640 --> 00:37:18,680
Speaker 3: Well, my experience was unique, Mitchell, because I didn't get

766
00:37:18,680 --> 00:37:21,399
Speaker 3: to go through anything. We were locked out until training camp,

767
00:37:21,520 --> 00:37:23,480
Speaker 3: so I didn't get to go through any of this.

768
00:37:23,719 --> 00:37:26,600
Speaker 3: So I'll tell you what what I've seen the rookies

769
00:37:26,640 --> 00:37:31,120
Speaker 3: go through and not what I've went through. But they

770
00:37:31,200 --> 00:37:33,080
Speaker 3: have their rookie mintie camp. They come in, they get

771
00:37:33,080 --> 00:37:36,359
Speaker 3: their playbooks. They usually have their three day rookie mini camp.

772
00:37:36,760 --> 00:37:40,200
Speaker 3: You know, usually the higher picked guys don't participate a ton.

773
00:37:40,280 --> 00:37:42,239
Speaker 3: They treat them like veterans because they just don't want

774
00:37:42,280 --> 00:37:44,360
Speaker 3: to get hurt. You know, guys are a lot of

775
00:37:44,440 --> 00:37:46,960
Speaker 3: desperations happening at these you know, so a lot of

776
00:37:47,000 --> 00:37:49,000
Speaker 3: guys on the ground. You don't have pats on them,

777
00:37:49,040 --> 00:37:51,359
Speaker 3: but you know, this is your livelihood. This is you've

778
00:37:51,360 --> 00:37:53,239
Speaker 3: worked your whole life to get to this point. And

779
00:37:53,440 --> 00:37:56,279
Speaker 3: some of these are undrafted free agents. Their only way

780
00:37:56,360 --> 00:37:58,759
Speaker 3: to stick on the team is to show out and

781
00:37:58,880 --> 00:38:02,840
Speaker 3: to shine into and out amongst other really good players.

782
00:38:02,960 --> 00:38:06,319
Speaker 3: So you're seeing a lot of guys do everything they

783
00:38:06,400 --> 00:38:09,040
Speaker 3: can to make this team. You know, they usually only

784
00:38:09,120 --> 00:38:11,240
Speaker 3: keep a couple from rookie minnie camp because they already

785
00:38:11,239 --> 00:38:13,800
Speaker 3: got to draft the guys that they pick. So you

786
00:38:13,920 --> 00:38:16,600
Speaker 3: got guys coming in trying to hope stick, learning playbooks,

787
00:38:16,680 --> 00:38:21,280
Speaker 3: learning the building, learning people's names, coachers, learning systems, learning

788
00:38:21,360 --> 00:38:24,279
Speaker 3: the city, finding places to live. Depending on where you

789
00:38:24,320 --> 00:38:26,759
Speaker 3: were drafted, if you're drafted in the first three three rounds,

790
00:38:26,760 --> 00:38:28,880
Speaker 3: you're probably trying to find an apartment or something to

791
00:38:28,920 --> 00:38:31,680
Speaker 3: live in. If you weren't drafted in the first three rounds,

792
00:38:31,760 --> 00:38:34,240
Speaker 3: you're probably hoping to stay in that team hotel until

793
00:38:34,680 --> 00:38:36,279
Speaker 3: you figure out if you're going to be on the

794
00:38:36,320 --> 00:38:38,279
Speaker 3: team or not, because you don't want to sit there

795
00:38:38,320 --> 00:38:41,160
Speaker 3: and sign a lease or an apartment and get cut

796
00:38:41,440 --> 00:38:43,680
Speaker 3: the next day and be sitting there. It's a lot,

797
00:38:45,000 --> 00:38:47,920
Speaker 3: but guys are excited. You know, their families are excited.

798
00:38:48,000 --> 00:38:50,760
Speaker 3: Guys are probably dealing with conversations with their family members

799
00:38:50,840 --> 00:38:54,520
Speaker 3: thinking they're multimillionaires now and they should be sending them money.

800
00:38:54,600 --> 00:38:57,319
Speaker 3: And you know, that's the whole story for a different day.

801
00:38:57,400 --> 00:39:00,920
Speaker 3: But guys are Guys are in the midst of their

802
00:39:01,000 --> 00:39:03,080
Speaker 3: dreams being realized. But you know, at the end of

803
00:39:03,120 --> 00:39:04,920
Speaker 3: the day, the draft is just the beginning of the

804
00:39:05,040 --> 00:39:07,759
Speaker 3: journey to the NFL. And the guys that think it's

805
00:39:07,800 --> 00:39:09,879
Speaker 3: the end of the journey usually treat it that way

806
00:39:09,920 --> 00:39:11,920
Speaker 3: and they don't last long. And the guys that understand

807
00:39:12,160 --> 00:39:14,759
Speaker 3: it's just the beginning last a long time.
