Changes are already afoot. 2 00:00:12,320 --> 00:00:15,640 Speaker 1: That is Clint Kubiak, who used to be the offensive 3 00:00:15,640 --> 00:00:19,119 Speaker 1: coordinator for the Super Bowl champion Seattle Seahawks, who was 4 00:00:19,160 --> 00:00:22,640 Speaker 1: getting doused with goal with green and blue confetti just 5 00:00:22,640 --> 00:00:25,480 Speaker 1: a couple days ago, now all silver and black. He 6 00:00:25,560 --> 00:00:29,800 Speaker 1: has introduced as the Raiders head coach today for the 7 00:00:29,840 --> 00:00:32,640 Speaker 1: New England Patriots, the team that Clint Kubiak's teams beat. 8 00:00:32,640 --> 00:00:35,920 Speaker 1: It is all about their young left tackle Will Campbell, 9 00:00:35,920 --> 00:00:38,600 Speaker 1: big topic of conversation after a rough Super Bowl. 10 00:00:39,000 --> 00:00:41,440 Speaker 2: What is his future? Where does he go from here? 11 00:00:41,479 --> 00:00:44,080 Speaker 1: And physically just how is he We're going to get 12 00:00:44,080 --> 00:00:46,440 Speaker 1: into all of those things, and we're getting get into 13 00:00:46,560 --> 00:00:49,440 Speaker 1: Drake Thomas, one of the unsung heroes for the Seattle 14 00:00:49,560 --> 00:00:50,760 Speaker 1: defense man. 15 00:00:50,840 --> 00:00:53,159 Speaker 2: He is an absolute baller. You may not have heard 16 00:00:53,200 --> 00:00:53,520 Speaker 2: of him. 17 00:00:53,720 --> 00:00:57,080 Speaker 1: If you watch The Insiders, you will tonight welcome inside 18 00:00:57,160 --> 00:00:58,200 Speaker 1: with the Insiders. 19 00:00:58,880 --> 00:00:59,920 Speaker 2: I am Ian Rappaport. 20 00:01:00,160 --> 00:01:02,960 Speaker 1: That is Mike Garrifolo, Tom Pelisarah is currently on the 21 00:01:02,960 --> 00:01:07,280 Speaker 1: beach sipicate my tie. Judy is touring around Barcelona. 22 00:01:06,640 --> 00:01:08,640 Speaker 2: With a map. So it is all I don't know 23 00:01:08,640 --> 00:01:09,800 Speaker 2: if either of those things are true. 24 00:01:10,319 --> 00:01:12,800 Speaker 1: It is all us tonight and we got a lot 25 00:01:12,800 --> 00:01:17,480 Speaker 1: into including the Las Vegas Raiders. New today they have 26 00:01:17,520 --> 00:01:20,640 Speaker 1: a head coach among some of the Raiders greats like 27 00:01:21,160 --> 00:01:26,160 Speaker 1: Marcus Allen, Alie Long, Mike Haynes, Charles Woodson. Is Rich 28 00:01:26,240 --> 00:01:28,920 Speaker 1: Gatnon going to join the picture. I bet he is, 29 00:01:29,080 --> 00:01:32,560 Speaker 1: because I've seen this before. Clint Kubiak there is. Clint 30 00:01:32,600 --> 00:01:36,160 Speaker 1: Kubiak met with reporters, not of many Luminaris, but still 31 00:01:36,160 --> 00:01:39,120 Speaker 1: reporters nonetheless, to tell you all about his plans for 32 00:01:39,200 --> 00:01:40,119 Speaker 1: being the Raiders coach. 33 00:01:41,560 --> 00:01:44,760 Speaker 3: The main thing is, this is no ordinary job, you know, 34 00:01:45,000 --> 00:01:47,280 Speaker 3: this is this is a silver and black, This is 35 00:01:47,319 --> 00:01:50,800 Speaker 3: the Raiders. This is a historic franchise. So you know, 36 00:01:50,840 --> 00:01:54,320 Speaker 3: when the opportunity came up to stay in Seattle and 37 00:01:54,920 --> 00:01:57,280 Speaker 3: continue there or to have a chance to come here 38 00:01:57,640 --> 00:01:59,960 Speaker 3: and compete with this organization, it was a no brain. 39 00:02:00,480 --> 00:02:03,960 Speaker 3: You have to earn the second game, you know, Like 40 00:02:04,200 --> 00:02:06,279 Speaker 3: this this league, if if you don't take care of business, 41 00:02:06,360 --> 00:02:08,640 Speaker 3: then you get chewed up and spit out real quick. 42 00:02:08,840 --> 00:02:11,240 Speaker 3: And every one of every one of us up here 43 00:02:11,280 --> 00:02:14,840 Speaker 3: has been been through that. So you know, you know 44 00:02:14,880 --> 00:02:18,200 Speaker 3: I'm gonna have to earn the right too to coach 45 00:02:18,240 --> 00:02:19,960 Speaker 3: this whole season to coach the next season. I got 46 00:02:20,000 --> 00:02:23,160 Speaker 3: to show mister Davis that our program is about the 47 00:02:23,200 --> 00:02:26,600 Speaker 3: right things and we're developing these players. So I don't 48 00:02:26,639 --> 00:02:28,640 Speaker 3: take for granted how long I'm going to be here. 49 00:02:28,760 --> 00:02:30,200 Speaker 3: I know that I have to earn it every day. 50 00:02:31,040 --> 00:02:34,240 Speaker 1: Those fans in that building will for sure hold him accountable. 51 00:02:34,320 --> 00:02:37,640 Speaker 1: Lot to get into with the Raiders head coach, finally 52 00:02:37,680 --> 00:02:40,280 Speaker 1: speaking after pretending that he was only the Seattle offensive 53 00:02:40,280 --> 00:02:43,240 Speaker 1: coordinator for about a week or so. Steve Wis, Ryan 54 00:02:43,280 --> 00:02:46,600 Speaker 1: Baldinger joining me in Rappaport and Mike Garafolo. 55 00:02:46,840 --> 00:02:48,079 Speaker 2: We so I want to start with you. There was 56 00:02:48,120 --> 00:02:50,080 Speaker 2: a lot that we heard from Klint Kobiak. 57 00:02:50,760 --> 00:02:53,079 Speaker 1: Talked about how he had coffee with Max Crosby, talked 58 00:02:53,080 --> 00:02:55,839 Speaker 1: to us, going to speak to Tom Brady a lot, 59 00:02:55,880 --> 00:02:59,160 Speaker 1: talked about just why this job is so special to him. 60 00:02:59,639 --> 00:03:02,680 Speaker 1: What did you take away from the introductory press conference? 61 00:03:02,680 --> 00:03:04,040 Speaker 1: So what do you think about the new Raiders coach? 62 00:03:04,120 --> 00:03:04,760 Speaker 2: Well, I think you about. 63 00:03:04,760 --> 00:03:06,760 Speaker 4: The main thing I took was you heard him just 64 00:03:06,800 --> 00:03:09,280 Speaker 4: mentioned the silver and black, but he did not linger 65 00:03:09,840 --> 00:03:12,520 Speaker 4: on the history or the logo, or the or the 66 00:03:12,560 --> 00:03:15,200 Speaker 4: slogans that the Raiders have. I mean a lot of 67 00:03:15,200 --> 00:03:17,200 Speaker 4: times the last couple of coaches we've had in there, Oh, 68 00:03:17,919 --> 00:03:21,960 Speaker 4: you commit to excellence, Just win baby. He pushed things forward, 69 00:03:22,320 --> 00:03:24,320 Speaker 4: and I think that should be a good sign, at 70 00:03:24,400 --> 00:03:28,040 Speaker 4: least optically for the new head coach. Clint Kubiak knows 71 00:03:28,080 --> 00:03:30,519 Speaker 4: what it takes to win, and just hearing some of 72 00:03:30,560 --> 00:03:32,240 Speaker 4: the things he said and some of the players who 73 00:03:32,240 --> 00:03:35,400 Speaker 4: showed up. Ashtion Jenty was there, Brock Bauers was there. 74 00:03:35,440 --> 00:03:37,320 Speaker 4: These are the people he's going to be building his 75 00:03:37,400 --> 00:03:38,120 Speaker 4: offense around. 76 00:03:38,160 --> 00:03:39,040 Speaker 5: I think that was key. 77 00:03:39,360 --> 00:03:41,640 Speaker 4: Now he said he had coffee with Max Crosby. We'll 78 00:03:41,680 --> 00:03:44,680 Speaker 4: see where that goes. But again, I think Kubiak come 79 00:03:44,800 --> 00:03:47,320 Speaker 4: in there with this offensive headmind, growing up with a 80 00:03:47,360 --> 00:03:50,560 Speaker 4: father who is a player, a coordinator, and a head coach. 81 00:03:50,920 --> 00:03:53,600 Speaker 4: I think that'd be significant when he puts his staff together. 82 00:03:53,920 --> 00:03:56,040 Speaker 4: I wouldn't be surprised if he takes a chapter from 83 00:03:56,080 --> 00:03:58,520 Speaker 4: Mike McDonald where he came from in Seattle, and has 84 00:03:58,560 --> 00:04:01,360 Speaker 4: a former head coach in there to help him, just 85 00:04:02,040 --> 00:04:04,760 Speaker 4: like McDonald had Leslie Frasier there to help him kind 86 00:04:04,760 --> 00:04:06,680 Speaker 4: of plug any gaps. So again, I thought it was 87 00:04:06,760 --> 00:04:10,600 Speaker 4: very encouraging that Kubiak pointed the arrow more forward, even 88 00:04:10,600 --> 00:04:12,680 Speaker 4: though he's there surrounded by a lot of the past 89 00:04:13,120 --> 00:04:16,200 Speaker 4: that the arrow isn't really lingering on that history and 90 00:04:16,200 --> 00:04:17,760 Speaker 4: again trying to go in another direction. 91 00:04:19,000 --> 00:04:21,479 Speaker 6: But don't his father, you know, former head coach and 92 00:04:21,520 --> 00:04:23,520 Speaker 6: offensive coordinate him from around the league. 93 00:04:23,360 --> 00:04:24,320 Speaker 2: And former quarterback. 94 00:04:24,360 --> 00:04:27,320 Speaker 6: But that is a you know, a descent from Mike Shanahan. 95 00:04:27,440 --> 00:04:31,000 Speaker 6: This is a disciple of the Mike Shanahan tree all 96 00:04:31,040 --> 00:04:33,719 Speaker 6: the way to Kyle and now down to Clint Kubiak. 97 00:04:33,760 --> 00:04:35,960 Speaker 6: And so there is a proven system here. Even when 98 00:04:35,960 --> 00:04:37,920 Speaker 6: he was in New Orleans last year, right, I mean, 99 00:04:38,000 --> 00:04:40,520 Speaker 6: so there was a little page to take. They were 100 00:04:40,520 --> 00:04:43,160 Speaker 6: the number one offense football the first two weeks of 101 00:04:43,200 --> 00:04:45,680 Speaker 6: the season, and they were undefeated in two and zero, 102 00:04:45,680 --> 00:04:48,600 Speaker 6: and then the offensive line fell apart, injury by injury, 103 00:04:48,880 --> 00:04:52,279 Speaker 6: and everything else fell apart. And really the you know, 104 00:04:52,400 --> 00:04:55,200 Speaker 6: the takeaway from that is the Raiders have got to 105 00:04:55,600 --> 00:04:58,560 Speaker 6: build an offensive line. They got to stop letting good 106 00:04:58,640 --> 00:05:04,400 Speaker 6: players go Levon, Chase On Germaine, Aluminar, Devonte Adams, Robert splain, 107 00:05:05,480 --> 00:05:08,760 Speaker 6: the Raiders have been a farm system for other teams 108 00:05:08,800 --> 00:05:11,159 Speaker 6: in this league. They've got to stop that. You know, 109 00:05:11,320 --> 00:05:14,080 Speaker 6: Spy tech in Clint right here, they're going to be 110 00:05:14,160 --> 00:05:17,080 Speaker 6: joined at to him. They've got to find talent, they've 111 00:05:17,080 --> 00:05:19,680 Speaker 6: got to build this thing from inside out. That's what 112 00:05:19,800 --> 00:05:23,440 Speaker 6: Seattle did under Mike McDonald. They built it in the trenches. 113 00:05:23,800 --> 00:05:27,240 Speaker 6: And I think the system can work if the offensive line, 114 00:05:27,320 --> 00:05:29,840 Speaker 6: the defensive front, if those guys go out it every 115 00:05:29,880 --> 00:05:32,480 Speaker 6: day and practice, that's where it's got to start. And 116 00:05:32,520 --> 00:05:35,000 Speaker 6: so I hope they're patient, because they haven't been very 117 00:05:35,040 --> 00:05:37,159 Speaker 6: patient over the last five head coaches. 118 00:05:38,760 --> 00:05:41,479 Speaker 7: This is going to be a different tone, Steve, what 119 00:05:41,520 --> 00:05:43,000 Speaker 7: you were talking about. You know, you go in as 120 00:05:43,000 --> 00:05:44,680 Speaker 7: the coach of the Raiders and you think you've got 121 00:05:44,680 --> 00:05:48,440 Speaker 7: to sell this kind of raider like energy and a 122 00:05:48,520 --> 00:05:52,080 Speaker 7: literal pirate. Right in Clinton Kobeek's case, it's going to 123 00:05:52,080 --> 00:05:53,720 Speaker 7: be a bit of a different tone, right. He's more 124 00:05:53,720 --> 00:05:56,120 Speaker 7: of a reserve, cerebral type of guy. That's the way 125 00:05:56,160 --> 00:05:58,680 Speaker 7: he's been as an offensive Coordinator's not that fiery guy 126 00:05:58,800 --> 00:06:02,800 Speaker 7: like let's say Antonio Pierce, even Josh McDaniel, John Gruden certainly. 127 00:06:02,839 --> 00:06:05,640 Speaker 7: So the last couple of coaches have been typical raider 128 00:06:05,680 --> 00:06:08,200 Speaker 7: type personality. So let's see what klink Kobia can do 129 00:06:08,520 --> 00:06:10,400 Speaker 7: as more of a reserve personality. 130 00:06:10,440 --> 00:06:11,680 Speaker 5: There's different ways to get it done. 131 00:06:11,720 --> 00:06:13,880 Speaker 7: You've got to be yourself, and for him to be 132 00:06:14,000 --> 00:06:17,160 Speaker 7: himself is going to have to be that more reserved 133 00:06:17,160 --> 00:06:19,880 Speaker 7: guy that kind of like I'm talking about. So be 134 00:06:19,960 --> 00:06:22,120 Speaker 7: interested to see his sideline demeanor. If it remains the 135 00:06:22,120 --> 00:06:24,320 Speaker 7: same as it was as an offensive coordinator, it's probably 136 00:06:24,320 --> 00:06:26,280 Speaker 7: the best recipe for success for him. 137 00:06:26,560 --> 00:06:28,560 Speaker 1: I actually had a lot of conversations about this when 138 00:06:28,560 --> 00:06:31,120 Speaker 1: he was a candidate at several places. Remember he had 139 00:06:31,360 --> 00:06:34,240 Speaker 1: essentially the choice of Arizona or the Raiders and chose 140 00:06:34,320 --> 00:06:37,640 Speaker 1: the Raiders. People who know him well say he absolutely 141 00:06:37,720 --> 00:06:40,000 Speaker 1: has an edge to him. We just don't see it 142 00:06:40,040 --> 00:06:42,599 Speaker 1: when he's talking to us and talking to players. Really 143 00:06:42,640 --> 00:06:45,280 Speaker 1: when look, we are going to see whether or not 144 00:06:45,320 --> 00:06:46,839 Speaker 1: that is the case. Doesn't you don't have to be 145 00:06:46,880 --> 00:06:49,560 Speaker 1: the most fiery coach. Kellen Moore's building doing a nice 146 00:06:49,640 --> 00:06:52,360 Speaker 1: job in New Orleans. He kind of has a similar demeanor. 147 00:06:52,560 --> 00:06:54,520 Speaker 1: But what was interesting to me is some of the 148 00:06:54,560 --> 00:06:57,440 Speaker 1: hot button issues for the Las Vegas Raiders. He kind 149 00:06:57,440 --> 00:06:59,600 Speaker 1: of just dipped his toe in the Max Crosby thing. 150 00:07:00,000 --> 00:07:02,800 Speaker 1: Talked about how he believes Max is a big part 151 00:07:02,839 --> 00:07:05,520 Speaker 1: of what they are doing. Still unclear whether or not 152 00:07:05,560 --> 00:07:07,960 Speaker 1: he will be traded as he gets ready and recovers 153 00:07:08,000 --> 00:07:11,280 Speaker 1: from that lengthy knee injury the miniscus repair, and then 154 00:07:11,320 --> 00:07:14,640 Speaker 1: wouldn't commit to Fernando Mendoza being their number one overall. 155 00:07:14,680 --> 00:07:16,560 Speaker 1: Pick said he's got a lot of film to watch 156 00:07:16,680 --> 00:07:19,160 Speaker 1: to determine whether or not that is the case. Sounds 157 00:07:19,160 --> 00:07:20,720 Speaker 1: like it probably will be based on a lot of 158 00:07:20,760 --> 00:07:24,160 Speaker 1: people I've spoken with, But still just getting started for 159 00:07:24,200 --> 00:07:26,920 Speaker 1: what should be a climb for the Raiders and the 160 00:07:26,960 --> 00:07:30,240 Speaker 1: hope to set the foundation for years to come. The 161 00:07:30,320 --> 00:07:32,520 Speaker 1: New England Patrio had set the foundation, thanks guys. By 162 00:07:32,520 --> 00:07:35,040 Speaker 1: the way, New England Patrio had set the foundation, going 163 00:07:35,080 --> 00:07:38,360 Speaker 1: from really bad to really good in the super Bowl. 164 00:07:38,560 --> 00:07:41,320 Speaker 1: It just didn't go as well as it did for 165 00:07:41,440 --> 00:07:45,080 Speaker 1: Kubiak's old team, the Seattle Seahawks. There's gonna be a 166 00:07:45,120 --> 00:07:47,160 Speaker 1: lot of fallout from this year. There's plenty of questions. 167 00:07:47,360 --> 00:07:49,760 Speaker 1: Most importantly, they are headed in the right direction. But 168 00:07:49,880 --> 00:07:53,120 Speaker 1: still Drake May and some others talk all about it. 169 00:07:54,680 --> 00:07:56,520 Speaker 8: I know, you know, I didn't play, you know as 170 00:07:56,520 --> 00:07:58,040 Speaker 8: well as I would have liked down the stretch, and 171 00:07:58,440 --> 00:08:01,720 Speaker 8: you I promise to do my best work hard and 172 00:08:01,840 --> 00:08:04,520 Speaker 8: gets back to those moments in those games and you 173 00:08:04,560 --> 00:08:06,200 Speaker 8: know can't wait to You'll be back in Jellette and 174 00:08:06,520 --> 00:08:08,560 Speaker 8: looking forward to next year. So thank you guys, go back. 175 00:08:09,040 --> 00:08:12,000 Speaker 9: I just wanted to say, uh, I apologize about the 176 00:08:11,960 --> 00:08:15,400 Speaker 9: other night not being available to talk. UH just had 177 00:08:15,400 --> 00:08:22,360 Speaker 9: a lot of emotions obviously, going after tough loss, long year. Uh, 178 00:08:23,280 --> 00:08:26,000 Speaker 9: just a lot of emotions come with that. I just 179 00:08:26,000 --> 00:08:27,800 Speaker 9: wanted to make sure that I had my head on 180 00:08:27,960 --> 00:08:31,320 Speaker 9: properly before I said anything. I didn't want to say 181 00:08:31,320 --> 00:08:33,800 Speaker 9: anything that I didn't need to say, and I know 182 00:08:33,880 --> 00:08:37,640 Speaker 9: that can happen, especially with myself, whenever there's emotions involved. 183 00:08:37,679 --> 00:08:40,120 Speaker 9: So I just wanted the night to sleep on things. 184 00:08:40,760 --> 00:08:45,080 Speaker 9: It comes with the job when you don't perform. Obviously, 185 00:08:45,280 --> 00:08:50,080 Speaker 9: you know I was picked, high paid a lot, so 186 00:08:50,760 --> 00:08:53,920 Speaker 9: people expect a certain thing, and I expect more of myself. 187 00:08:54,679 --> 00:08:57,960 Speaker 9: Uh So whenever I don't perform, I don't expect you know, 188 00:08:58,080 --> 00:09:02,079 Speaker 9: everyone to be like it's okay, buddy. I mean, obviously 189 00:09:02,120 --> 00:09:05,760 Speaker 9: it sucks, but it doesn't suck for anyone more than 190 00:09:05,760 --> 00:09:06,440 Speaker 9: it sucks for me. 191 00:09:07,040 --> 00:09:09,000 Speaker 10: When you sign up to play left tackle, you sign 192 00:09:09,080 --> 00:09:11,160 Speaker 10: up to play corner, you sign up to play quarterback. 193 00:09:11,200 --> 00:09:14,040 Speaker 10: You sign up to be the head coach, you get judged, 194 00:09:14,080 --> 00:09:15,040 Speaker 10: you get scrutinized. 195 00:09:15,440 --> 00:09:15,600 Speaker 11: Will. 196 00:09:15,600 --> 00:09:17,719 Speaker 10: He's twenty two years old, he's our left tackle. He'll 197 00:09:17,760 --> 00:09:22,000 Speaker 10: get better, he gets stronger. Moments where he played well, 198 00:09:22,080 --> 00:09:27,720 Speaker 10: moments where he blocked the guy. You know, there's plays 199 00:09:27,800 --> 00:09:29,920 Speaker 10: he'd like to have back. We're we're not moving Will 200 00:09:30,000 --> 00:09:32,320 Speaker 10: to guard or the center, or to tight end or 201 00:09:32,880 --> 00:09:38,440 Speaker 10: anywhere else. So I what to tell you, all right? 202 00:09:38,480 --> 00:09:40,400 Speaker 7: That last part, Yeah, get that call out. That last 203 00:09:40,400 --> 00:09:43,360 Speaker 7: part very important, Baldy. I want to talk to you 204 00:09:43,440 --> 00:09:45,360 Speaker 7: directly on that one. But camer Wolf, you were there 205 00:09:45,840 --> 00:09:49,680 Speaker 7: covering this Patriots team all week. You saw the postgame scene. 206 00:09:49,720 --> 00:09:51,760 Speaker 7: You saw what Will Campbell was like. Take us through 207 00:09:51,760 --> 00:09:53,959 Speaker 7: that postgame locker room in the fallout from this game. 208 00:09:56,080 --> 00:09:58,560 Speaker 12: Yeah, Mike, I walk up to Will Campbell's locker after 209 00:09:58,600 --> 00:10:00,320 Speaker 12: the game. You can see tears in his eye. His 210 00:10:00,360 --> 00:10:02,840 Speaker 12: head is fully down. He knows he didn't play well. 211 00:10:03,080 --> 00:10:07,000 Speaker 12: Next year stat has him allowing fourteen quarterback pressures, more 212 00:10:07,040 --> 00:10:09,360 Speaker 12: than any offensive lineman in a game this season. 213 00:10:09,520 --> 00:10:12,560 Speaker 5: It was bad. He knew, he knew it was bad. 214 00:10:12,840 --> 00:10:14,319 Speaker 12: And when I asked him to talk, he said, I've 215 00:10:14,320 --> 00:10:15,240 Speaker 12: got nothing for you. 216 00:10:15,640 --> 00:10:16,040 Speaker 2: Obviously. 217 00:10:16,120 --> 00:10:18,520 Speaker 12: He apologized for that today talked to the media, but 218 00:10:18,960 --> 00:10:22,200 Speaker 12: to get the Will Campbell question kind of in order, 219 00:10:22,240 --> 00:10:24,199 Speaker 12: I talked to some people around the league. There is 220 00:10:24,320 --> 00:10:27,160 Speaker 12: questions should he move to guard. Toront Armstead, who was 221 00:10:27,200 --> 00:10:29,720 Speaker 12: a Pro Bowl left tackle for many, many years, gave 222 00:10:29,760 --> 00:10:31,960 Speaker 12: me this review. He said it has nothing to do 223 00:10:32,040 --> 00:10:34,600 Speaker 12: with his armland. He said it was his set. He's 224 00:10:34,640 --> 00:10:38,280 Speaker 12: having issues with power, his timing, with the punches. He 225 00:10:38,360 --> 00:10:41,080 Speaker 12: actually volunteered to have Will Campbell work out with him 226 00:10:41,240 --> 00:10:43,720 Speaker 12: Toront Armstead did in Dallas this summer. He said he 227 00:10:43,760 --> 00:10:47,280 Speaker 12: believes his issues are fixable as far as those particular 228 00:10:47,320 --> 00:10:49,960 Speaker 12: power issues. He said a lot of times he's working 229 00:10:50,000 --> 00:10:53,600 Speaker 12: backwards and not necessarily set as the defensive linement comes 230 00:10:53,640 --> 00:10:56,040 Speaker 12: about him, and so he thinks that's just time that 231 00:10:56,080 --> 00:10:58,080 Speaker 12: you need rep wise, and that he could still be 232 00:10:58,120 --> 00:11:00,680 Speaker 12: a really good tackle in this league. He's a guy 233 00:11:00,679 --> 00:11:03,080 Speaker 12: that cares a lot, that works hard at it. He's 234 00:11:03,080 --> 00:11:05,200 Speaker 12: got a lot of spotlight on him for playing poorly 235 00:11:05,280 --> 00:11:07,480 Speaker 12: in the Super Bowl and hopefully that gets the most 236 00:11:07,480 --> 00:11:10,040 Speaker 12: out of him. But a spotlight on this new England 237 00:11:10,040 --> 00:11:13,160 Speaker 12: team because they gave up twenty one sacks in the playoffs. 238 00:11:13,200 --> 00:11:15,520 Speaker 12: It was by far their biggest issue and they've got 239 00:11:15,559 --> 00:11:17,839 Speaker 12: to get that fixed next year for Drake May to 240 00:11:17,880 --> 00:11:18,960 Speaker 12: be able to get over the top. 241 00:11:19,920 --> 00:11:23,480 Speaker 7: That was great info and Baldy last night we talked 242 00:11:23,520 --> 00:11:25,280 Speaker 7: about they have to decide if he's a tackle or 243 00:11:25,320 --> 00:11:27,840 Speaker 7: a guard. Mike Brabil making it very quick. He is 244 00:11:27,920 --> 00:11:31,040 Speaker 7: still our tackle. So pretend you're now to Ron Armstead, 245 00:11:31,040 --> 00:11:33,240 Speaker 7: who said he would be willing to work with Will Campbell. 246 00:11:33,360 --> 00:11:34,800 Speaker 5: How do you approach this with him? 247 00:11:34,800 --> 00:11:36,760 Speaker 7: Because I know you're a big Will Campbell guy and 248 00:11:36,800 --> 00:11:38,880 Speaker 7: we're certainly not calling it a career for him already. 249 00:11:39,520 --> 00:11:41,560 Speaker 6: No, No, I mean it's you know, it was not 250 00:11:41,600 --> 00:11:46,160 Speaker 6: a good month of January early February for Will. I 251 00:11:46,480 --> 00:11:48,560 Speaker 6: do know he's got a problem with one with his 252 00:11:48,640 --> 00:11:50,640 Speaker 6: left leg. I mean, he couldn't plant right there against 253 00:11:50,679 --> 00:11:54,079 Speaker 6: Derek Hall. He couldn't just you know, really anchor down. 254 00:11:54,520 --> 00:11:56,480 Speaker 6: And now he's just lung jings And now he's he's 255 00:11:56,480 --> 00:11:59,240 Speaker 6: home more compensating for the bad leg. He's probably shouldn't 256 00:11:59,240 --> 00:12:01,400 Speaker 6: have been out there. But that's what pros do. They 257 00:12:01,400 --> 00:12:04,200 Speaker 6: play through it. There's a lot of technique work that 258 00:12:04,320 --> 00:12:06,559 Speaker 6: has to get done. I mean, I'm best friends with 259 00:12:06,640 --> 00:12:09,200 Speaker 6: Lane Johnson. He'll tell you his rookie he wasn't very good. 260 00:12:09,760 --> 00:12:11,679 Speaker 6: You know, he's a candidate be a you know, a 261 00:12:11,800 --> 00:12:14,040 Speaker 6: high bout Hall of Famer one day. 262 00:12:14,480 --> 00:12:16,839 Speaker 2: But is this where you got to go to work now? 263 00:12:17,080 --> 00:12:18,920 Speaker 6: Like you go back and you watch all these games 264 00:12:18,920 --> 00:12:22,240 Speaker 6: against Will Anderson and against Derek Hall and some of 265 00:12:22,280 --> 00:12:24,720 Speaker 6: the guys that he saw in the postseason, and then 266 00:12:24,840 --> 00:12:27,559 Speaker 6: you start working at you start working on the technique 267 00:12:27,640 --> 00:12:30,200 Speaker 6: where your punch is better, you get to your contact spot. 268 00:12:30,559 --> 00:12:32,559 Speaker 6: There's a lot of technique work here that can make 269 00:12:32,640 --> 00:12:34,679 Speaker 6: up for some of the bad plays that we saw. 270 00:12:34,800 --> 00:12:37,360 Speaker 6: For Will, he knows it. Nobody feels it worse. You 271 00:12:37,400 --> 00:12:39,960 Speaker 6: don't sleep at night after a game like that. It's 272 00:12:40,040 --> 00:12:42,520 Speaker 6: just a running clock in your head of the repeat 273 00:12:42,559 --> 00:12:44,680 Speaker 6: of these plays. And the good thing is, I think 274 00:12:44,679 --> 00:12:47,480 Speaker 6: he knows already what he needs to work on. I 275 00:12:47,480 --> 00:12:50,000 Speaker 6: think there's a coach inside Will's head that's saying, this 276 00:12:50,040 --> 00:12:51,560 Speaker 6: is what I need to work on. Let me go 277 00:12:51,600 --> 00:12:54,280 Speaker 6: out there against calebon Chase on, let me go out there, 278 00:12:54,400 --> 00:12:56,720 Speaker 6: you know, against Harold Landry. Let's start getting some work 279 00:12:56,720 --> 00:12:58,080 Speaker 6: in as soon as I can right now. 280 00:13:00,320 --> 00:13:02,480 Speaker 1: Yeah, And I mean one of the more underrated things 281 00:13:02,480 --> 00:13:05,240 Speaker 1: for fans. Baldy is like, guys do get better. They 282 00:13:05,280 --> 00:13:07,560 Speaker 1: think like, oh, this is this is now Will Campbell, 283 00:13:07,720 --> 00:13:10,080 Speaker 1: this is Campbell. Now what is he going to be 284 00:13:10,080 --> 00:13:11,840 Speaker 1: next year? We'll see what kind of work he puts 285 00:13:11,840 --> 00:13:13,840 Speaker 1: in in the offseason. Meil camb I want to go 286 00:13:13,880 --> 00:13:16,560 Speaker 1: back to you. Drake May obviously struggled a little bit 287 00:13:16,600 --> 00:13:18,719 Speaker 1: till kind of catching fire a little bit late late 288 00:13:18,760 --> 00:13:21,960 Speaker 1: in the fourth quarter. What did you make of Drake 289 00:13:22,080 --> 00:13:24,960 Speaker 1: May his shoulder and then you know the performance of 290 00:13:25,000 --> 00:13:25,960 Speaker 1: the offense in general. 291 00:13:28,000 --> 00:13:30,520 Speaker 12: Yeah, just like Will Campbell, he was very emotional after 292 00:13:30,559 --> 00:13:32,640 Speaker 12: the game. I saw him as he's waiting to take 293 00:13:32,679 --> 00:13:35,000 Speaker 12: a cart to get to the press conference room. 294 00:13:35,040 --> 00:13:35,760 Speaker 2: His head's down. 295 00:13:36,280 --> 00:13:38,200 Speaker 12: You could tell that he had had some tears in 296 00:13:38,240 --> 00:13:41,680 Speaker 12: his eyes. Look, he didn't play the best this previous game. 297 00:13:41,720 --> 00:13:43,640 Speaker 12: His offensive line didn't give him much of a chance. 298 00:13:43,679 --> 00:13:46,960 Speaker 12: But he's a young quarterback. One thing I noticed talking 299 00:13:47,000 --> 00:13:49,920 Speaker 12: to Seahawks defenders after the game, they thought they had 300 00:13:49,960 --> 00:13:52,840 Speaker 12: a lot of tells on this Patriots offense, in particular 301 00:13:52,880 --> 00:13:55,080 Speaker 12: where Drake May. They thought they were able to confuse 302 00:13:55,160 --> 00:13:57,920 Speaker 12: him with some coveraged looks and be really aggressive based 303 00:13:57,960 --> 00:14:00,840 Speaker 12: on the pre snap looks they've had, So Drake May 304 00:14:00,840 --> 00:14:02,360 Speaker 12: and this Patriots offense is going to have to go 305 00:14:02,400 --> 00:14:04,679 Speaker 12: back to the drawing board and offseason. How can we 306 00:14:04,760 --> 00:14:07,480 Speaker 12: be prepared for people who have tape on us. 307 00:14:07,520 --> 00:14:07,720 Speaker 11: Now. 308 00:14:07,800 --> 00:14:08,720 Speaker 2: It's a young team. 309 00:14:08,960 --> 00:14:11,200 Speaker 12: They're going to get better, but they ran into a 310 00:14:11,240 --> 00:14:14,480 Speaker 12: lot of top five defenses in the playoffs and it 311 00:14:14,640 --> 00:14:17,160 Speaker 12: certainly took advantage of them. That's where they're going to 312 00:14:17,200 --> 00:14:19,720 Speaker 12: have to take that next step where that means more weapons. 313 00:14:19,720 --> 00:14:22,200 Speaker 12: They're going to have a decision coming up on Stefan Diggs. 314 00:14:22,280 --> 00:14:24,000 Speaker 12: He told me in the locker room. He hopes he 315 00:14:24,120 --> 00:14:26,480 Speaker 12: is back. They have a decision to make on his 316 00:14:26,560 --> 00:14:29,440 Speaker 12: cap space. But Carlton Davis, their cornerback, left me with 317 00:14:29,480 --> 00:14:32,000 Speaker 12: this message. He said, we are going to be back. 318 00:14:32,040 --> 00:14:32,280 Speaker 5: He said. 319 00:14:32,320 --> 00:14:34,440 Speaker 12: If people were writing us off as a one year Fluke, 320 00:14:34,680 --> 00:14:37,360 Speaker 12: tell them to turn around and wake up because we're 321 00:14:37,360 --> 00:14:39,360 Speaker 12: going to be here. We got an MVP quarterback and 322 00:14:39,400 --> 00:14:42,520 Speaker 12: we're only getting better. So everybody's doing their funeral today. 323 00:14:42,600 --> 00:14:45,040 Speaker 12: The Patriots think this is just the start of a 324 00:14:45,080 --> 00:14:46,600 Speaker 12: new foundation for them. 325 00:14:46,880 --> 00:14:49,320 Speaker 1: Yeah, certainly they're fans doing cam Thank you very much, 326 00:14:49,360 --> 00:14:50,880 Speaker 1: great stuff Baldy as well. 327 00:14:51,200 --> 00:14:52,800 Speaker 2: Neither of you guys go anywhere. 328 00:14:52,840 --> 00:14:54,440 Speaker 1: I don't think we'd love to talk to you more 329 00:14:54,480 --> 00:14:56,359 Speaker 1: if you wouldn't mind sticking around. 330 00:14:56,160 --> 00:14:58,120 Speaker 2: A little bit. So it was a tough day for 331 00:14:58,160 --> 00:15:01,400 Speaker 2: the Patriots, no doubt about it.

So it's such 387 00:17:50,800 --> 00:17:53,880 Speaker 14: a blessing and I'm so fortunate to be a part 388 00:17:53,880 --> 00:17:56,280 Speaker 14: of this amazing organization and be able to do this 389 00:17:56,400 --> 00:17:57,920 Speaker 14: with the people that I'm doing it with. 390 00:17:58,080 --> 00:18:01,320 Speaker 7: So, Greg, I'm on the Insiders tonight, I'm on Good 391 00:18:01,359 --> 00:18:03,960 Speaker 7: Morning Football tomorrow.

I can think of some 394 00:18:10,000 --> 00:18:12,359 Speaker 7: in the playoffs, for sure, but I'm going back to 395 00:18:12,400 --> 00:18:15,959 Speaker 7: that game against San Francisco thirteen to three. They're driving 396 00:18:16,000 --> 00:18:18,600 Speaker 7: deep in your territory and you make the play. Give 397 00:18:18,640 --> 00:18:20,080 Speaker 7: me a little juice that I can use on the 398 00:18:20,080 --> 00:18:22,560 Speaker 7: show tomorrow. What do you remember about that play and 399 00:18:22,600 --> 00:18:24,840 Speaker 7: how important it was that play? 400 00:18:26,400 --> 00:18:29,840 Speaker 14: I remember on one on one coverage probably against the 401 00:18:30,480 --> 00:18:33,359 Speaker 14: best you know receiving running back in the NFL. 402 00:18:33,440 --> 00:18:34,600 Speaker 3: It was Christian McCaffrey. 403 00:18:35,240 --> 00:18:37,440 Speaker 14: And I'm just I'm playing one on one coverage on them, 404 00:18:37,440 --> 00:18:40,320 Speaker 14: trying to play inside out, have them break outside and 405 00:18:40,480 --> 00:18:42,600 Speaker 14: run it down from that point. And as I'm trying 406 00:18:42,600 --> 00:18:46,399 Speaker 14: to beat them to the pylon, ball pops into my 407 00:18:46,440 --> 00:18:49,520 Speaker 14: hands and I come down with it. It happened so fast. 408 00:18:49,560 --> 00:18:52,040 Speaker 14: I come down with it, and then it was just excitement. 409 00:18:52,080 --> 00:18:54,160 Speaker 14: I didn't know what to do after that. It was awesome. 410 00:18:55,760 --> 00:18:57,960 Speaker 1: And what's crazy is so that that was a great 411 00:18:58,000 --> 00:19:00,960 Speaker 1: moment and whinning division was great and it really paved 412 00:19:00,960 --> 00:19:03,600 Speaker 1: the way for what you guys have done. 413 00:19:03,720 --> 00:19:05,439 Speaker 2: And you mentioned that happening fast. 414 00:19:06,080 --> 00:19:08,720 Speaker 1: It feels like it always sort of happens fast, right 415 00:19:08,760 --> 00:19:10,800 Speaker 1: Like you're the number one seed, then you get through 416 00:19:10,800 --> 00:19:12,400 Speaker 1: the players, next thing you know, you're in the super Bowl. 417 00:19:12,440 --> 00:19:15,639 Speaker 1: Now we're interviewing you after having won.

I appreciate you guys. 503 00:23:20,680 --> 00:23:22,320 Speaker 1: When you have an eight and a half hour pregame 504 00:23:22,359 --> 00:23:24,399 Speaker 1: showing NFL Network, you got a lot of ground to 505 00:23:24,440 --> 00:23:28,040 Speaker 1: cover and a lot of topics get unearthed, including the 506 00:23:28,119 --> 00:23:31,040 Speaker 1: latest down Lamar Jackson out look. There have been some 507 00:23:31,200 --> 00:23:34,480 Speaker 1: rumors here Mike about Lamar over the course of the offseason. 508 00:23:34,560 --> 00:23:36,639 Speaker 1: Those are gonna continue, especially with the Raiders have the 509 00:23:36,720 --> 00:23:39,000 Speaker 1: number one pick in Nina and quarterback. One thing we 510 00:23:39,119 --> 00:23:42,200 Speaker 1: learned on Sunday does not sound like Lamar Jackson is 511 00:23:42,240 --> 00:23:45,440 Speaker 1: going anywhere. Instead, the focus seems to be on the 512 00:23:45,480 --> 00:23:48,520 Speaker 1: Baltimore Ravens and new coach Jesse Minter and the new 513 00:23:49,600 --> 00:23:53,760 Speaker 1: offensive coordinator and everything they have and focusing on getting 514 00:23:53,840 --> 00:23:56,760 Speaker 1: Lamar Jackson right, getting him age, and getting him paid. 515 00:23:57,240 --> 00:24:00,960 Speaker 1: Sounds like the contract talks to Lamar Jackson should kick 516 00:24:00,960 --> 00:24:03,639 Speaker 1: into gear and Mike after him helping get sold on 517 00:24:03,720 --> 00:24:06,440 Speaker 1: some assistant coaches and head coach and all of that. 518 00:24:06,880 --> 00:24:09,720 Speaker 1: Seems like his role is pretty secure there in Baltimore. 519 00:24:09,760 --> 00:24:09,960 Speaker 2: Mike. 520 00:24:12,040 --> 00:24:16,600 Speaker 7: Meanwhile, elsewhere in the AFC North, Aaron Rodgers has spoken 521 00:24:16,640 --> 00:24:19,920 Speaker 7: with Mike McCarthy. Our Tom Pellisero reported that the odds 522 00:24:20,440 --> 00:24:23,159 Speaker 7: of him coming back are increasing. Obviously they have a 523 00:24:23,160 --> 00:24:25,120 Speaker 7: connection to those two. I'd like to see that reunion. 524 00:24:25,160 --> 00:24:28,840 Speaker 7: That would be fun. So that's the potential return for Rodgers. 525 00:24:28,880 --> 00:24:30,960 Speaker 7: I'm sure he'll make a decision here in the coming. 526 00:24:30,800 --> 00:24:35,360 Speaker 5: Days or weeks or months. I mean, I'm sure we'll 527 00:24:35,359 --> 00:24:36,680 Speaker 5: get in this decision soon. 528 00:24:38,320 --> 00:24:41,000 Speaker 1: Yeah, I've bean hopefully by May or June, or even July, 529 00:24:41,359 --> 00:24:45,040 Speaker 1: why not August, why not September. We'll see if we 530 00:24:45,040 --> 00:24:47,159 Speaker 1: get a decision about Derek Carr coming soon. That was 531 00:24:47,240 --> 00:24:50,200 Speaker 1: some news we all on the Insiders talked about on 532 00:24:50,280 --> 00:24:53,520 Speaker 1: Sunday that Derek Carr seems open to coming out of retirement, 533 00:24:53,560 --> 00:24:56,480 Speaker 1: and I think more importantly, teams are interested in him. 534 00:24:56,800 --> 00:24:58,840 Speaker 1: Going to be fascinating to see where his shoulder is. 535 00:24:58,840 --> 00:25:01,360 Speaker 1: He did not need surgery, but he reabbed and has 536 00:25:01,440 --> 00:25:05,439 Speaker 1: proclaimed himself ready. According to wolver told, which team is 537 00:25:05,480 --> 00:25:07,440 Speaker 1: going to trade with the Saints to get Derek Carr 538 00:25:07,480 --> 00:25:08,280 Speaker 1: out of retirement. 539 00:25:08,880 --> 00:25:11,280 Speaker 2: Tune in in a couple of weeks or maybe tomorrow. 540 00:25:11,280 --> 00:25:11,840 Speaker 2: I have no idea. 541 00:25:11,880 --> 00:25:16,800 Speaker 7: Mike Kyler Murray and the Arizona Cardinals, I mean, it 542 00:25:16,960 --> 00:25:20,920 Speaker 7: seemed like they were potentially moving toward a divorce when 543 00:25:21,200 --> 00:25:23,680 Speaker 7: he sort of got injured and we just never saw 544 00:25:23,760 --> 00:25:25,639 Speaker 7: him again late in the season last year. Ian, as 545 00:25:25,680 --> 00:25:28,280 Speaker 7: you put it the other day, Cardinals likely to move 546 00:25:28,280 --> 00:25:29,160 Speaker 7: on from Kyler Murray. 547 00:25:29,160 --> 00:25:30,800 Speaker 5: Now there's a thirty six million. 548 00:25:30,520 --> 00:25:34,159 Speaker 7: Dollar cash h hit that's gonna come with this, So 549 00:25:35,400 --> 00:25:37,680 Speaker 7: it does avoid the trigger for the next year even 550 00:25:37,760 --> 00:25:40,199 Speaker 7: more guaranteed. That's the way the contract is structured to 551 00:25:40,240 --> 00:25:42,880 Speaker 7: sort of force you into making these decisions a year 552 00:25:42,920 --> 00:25:44,560 Speaker 7: after year. So the Cardinals are gonna have to eat 553 00:25:44,560 --> 00:25:47,320 Speaker 7: some significant money here now. If they can trade him, 554 00:25:47,560 --> 00:25:50,960 Speaker 7: obviously that's ideal. But if somebody's taken on the bulk 555 00:25:51,080 --> 00:25:52,840 Speaker 7: or all that money Ian, don't expect a lot of 556 00:25:52,880 --> 00:25:54,160 Speaker 7: compensation back Arizona. 557 00:25:55,520 --> 00:25:57,479 Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean, it's gonna be challenging to trade him 558 00:25:57,480 --> 00:25:59,200 Speaker 1: when you got guaranteed money into this year. 559 00:25:59,240 --> 00:26:01,720 Speaker 2: Those trades are are tough to pull off. 560 00:26:02,000 --> 00:26:04,119 Speaker 1: Miami Dolphins might find out as well they would like 561 00:26:04,160 --> 00:26:06,600 Speaker 1: to trade Tua talk about love as far as I know, 562 00:26:06,840 --> 00:26:09,119 Speaker 1: move on from him and just kind of starting new 563 00:26:09,119 --> 00:26:11,240 Speaker 1: with the new regime. The problem is he's got fully 564 00:26:11,240 --> 00:26:14,760 Speaker 1: guaranteed money, and I didn't have the greatest of yours, 565 00:26:14,840 --> 00:26:17,399 Speaker 1: if we're being totally honest, got bench for quinn Ewers 566 00:26:17,440 --> 00:26:20,080 Speaker 1: and it was all kind of weird. Let's bring in 567 00:26:20,119 --> 00:26:23,080 Speaker 1: our good friend Cam Wolf, who covers the Miami Dolphins 568 00:26:23,160 --> 00:26:27,399 Speaker 1: very closely, to sort it all out. So I mentioned Tua, 569 00:26:27,600 --> 00:26:30,920 Speaker 1: We talked about the potential divorce, talked about quinn Ewers 570 00:26:30,920 --> 00:26:32,520 Speaker 1: and the new head coach. Why don't you just tell 571 00:26:32,600 --> 00:26:35,040 Speaker 1: us what's gonna happen over the next month or so. Cam, 572 00:26:35,040 --> 00:26:39,480 Speaker 1: You're right there, you got it all. 573 00:26:37,920 --> 00:26:39,159 Speaker 5: Got the crystal ball, right. No. 574 00:26:39,760 --> 00:26:43,160 Speaker 12: I think there's gonna be a lot of change starting 575 00:26:43,200 --> 00:26:46,119 Speaker 12: in that quarterback room. As you mentioned, Ian, the Dolphins 576 00:26:46,160 --> 00:26:47,480 Speaker 12: are going to try to move on from to a 577 00:26:47,520 --> 00:26:50,240 Speaker 12: tongue by low. That's what I've heard. The preferred route 578 00:26:50,320 --> 00:26:52,760 Speaker 12: is trade. They would love to get something of value 579 00:26:53,040 --> 00:26:55,280 Speaker 12: from the quarterback. At the very least get some money 580 00:26:55,280 --> 00:26:57,600 Speaker 12: off the books. He's set to make fifty four million 581 00:26:57,640 --> 00:27:00,440 Speaker 12: dollars guaranteed. That's gonna be the big sticking point. From 582 00:27:00,440 --> 00:27:03,439 Speaker 12: what I understand, the Dolphins have shown a willingness to 583 00:27:03,520 --> 00:27:05,760 Speaker 12: eat some of that money if they can find a 584 00:27:05,880 --> 00:27:09,359 Speaker 12: trade partner for Tua. That's what the conversations we're going 585 00:27:09,400 --> 00:27:12,400 Speaker 12: to see heading into the combine and free agency. Can 586 00:27:12,440 --> 00:27:15,000 Speaker 12: they find a partner that will take some of the 587 00:27:15,080 --> 00:27:17,600 Speaker 12: money and maybe give them a small asset to be 588 00:27:17,600 --> 00:27:19,639 Speaker 12: able to move on from to a tongue of Iiloa. 589 00:27:19,880 --> 00:27:22,639 Speaker 12: He's expressed a desire to want a fresh start too. 590 00:27:23,000 --> 00:27:25,399 Speaker 12: It did not work this past year. It seems like, 591 00:27:25,480 --> 00:27:28,600 Speaker 12: whether mentally, whether physically, he was not the same player 592 00:27:28,680 --> 00:27:31,000 Speaker 12: they paid the big money deal to, and so they're 593 00:27:31,040 --> 00:27:33,760 Speaker 12: prepared to bring in other quarterbacks. As far as far 594 00:27:33,800 --> 00:27:36,960 Speaker 12: as a quarterback competition, as far as potential partners for 595 00:27:36,960 --> 00:27:39,680 Speaker 12: a trade, there's always more teams that need a quarterback. 596 00:27:39,840 --> 00:27:42,000 Speaker 12: You know, you look at Minnesota, you look around the league, 597 00:27:42,000 --> 00:27:44,600 Speaker 12: at Atlanta, you look at the New York Jets in Pittsburgh, 598 00:27:44,640 --> 00:27:46,480 Speaker 12: there's hope that maybe they can find one of those 599 00:27:46,520 --> 00:27:49,320 Speaker 12: teams as a partner and then, yes, Quinn viewers would 600 00:27:49,359 --> 00:27:51,679 Speaker 12: be a cumbent in the room and maybe bring in 601 00:27:51,720 --> 00:27:54,040 Speaker 12: a guy in the draft or for agency. They don't 602 00:27:54,040 --> 00:27:56,399 Speaker 12: have a lot of money, so don't expect this to 603 00:27:56,400 --> 00:27:59,040 Speaker 12: be a heavy spending free agency, and their expect to 604 00:27:59,080 --> 00:28:01,760 Speaker 12: move on from seven key veterans that make a lot 605 00:28:01,760 --> 00:28:04,120 Speaker 12: of money on their payroll going into the new year. 606 00:28:05,160 --> 00:28:07,200 Speaker 7: Look, that is one of the best deals that we've 607 00:28:07,240 --> 00:28:10,399 Speaker 7: seen in recent NFL history from the player's perspective, not 608 00:28:10,440 --> 00:28:12,680 Speaker 7: from the team's perspective, but from the player's perspective. 609 00:28:12,680 --> 00:28:14,000 Speaker 5: For two a tongue of iloa. 610 00:28:14,280 --> 00:28:15,920 Speaker 7: To get that kind of money and that kind of 611 00:28:15,960 --> 00:28:20,679 Speaker 7: guaranteed money, it's sort of those past fail situations that 612 00:28:20,800 --> 00:28:23,720 Speaker 7: sometimes you're in, Like if you're going to extend your quarterback, 613 00:28:24,080 --> 00:28:26,080 Speaker 7: the number sort of is what the number is. You 614 00:28:26,119 --> 00:28:28,960 Speaker 7: couldn't have said, well, we'll take them for thirty million 615 00:28:29,000 --> 00:28:30,640 Speaker 7: a year, like he wasn't going to sign that deal 616 00:28:30,720 --> 00:28:32,480 Speaker 7: at that point. You've got to sort of commit there 617 00:28:32,480 --> 00:28:34,480 Speaker 7: if you want to keep things moving in the right 618 00:28:34,480 --> 00:28:38,400 Speaker 7: direction with your franchise quarterback the Panthers, though, I would say, 619 00:28:38,480 --> 00:28:41,160 Speaker 7: right now, take a look at this one, because Bryce 620 00:28:41,200 --> 00:28:43,959 Speaker 7: Young is sort of in that same a little bit 621 00:28:44,000 --> 00:28:46,680 Speaker 7: of mold here where it hasn't been all perfect and 622 00:28:46,720 --> 00:28:49,120 Speaker 7: some people say, well are there limitations with him? And 623 00:28:49,360 --> 00:28:52,040 Speaker 7: you know he is he the franchise quarterback where you go, okay, 624 00:28:52,120 --> 00:28:54,440 Speaker 7: whatever the price is, top of the market, top five. 625 00:28:54,240 --> 00:28:54,720 Speaker 5: Whatever it is. 626 00:28:55,240 --> 00:28:57,160 Speaker 7: And that's why maybe we maybe expect that there won't 627 00:28:57,200 --> 00:29:00,240 Speaker 7: be a deal between Young and the Panthers. If in 628 00:29:00,280 --> 00:29:03,560 Speaker 7: history with the Dolphins and to a tugobla as any indication. 629 00:29:03,240 --> 00:29:06,360 Speaker 2: Here, well that's interesting. That'll be an interesting one to 630 00:29:06,400 --> 00:29:07,960 Speaker 2: watch you. I'm kind of fascinated by this. 631 00:29:08,520 --> 00:29:10,320 Speaker 1: It's gonna be bad for the Dolphins if they move 632 00:29:10,360 --> 00:29:13,560 Speaker 1: on from toul, which again we all expect, it's going 633 00:29:13,600 --> 00:29:16,360 Speaker 1: to be expensive, almost one hundred million dollars of dead cap. 634 00:29:16,800 --> 00:29:19,520 Speaker 1: We have seen it done with the Denver Broncos have done. 635 00:29:20,040 --> 00:29:22,760 Speaker 1: Is the model, right, I mean, they have a young, good, 636 00:29:23,040 --> 00:29:25,240 Speaker 1: cheap quarterback who can kind of get them to deal 637 00:29:25,280 --> 00:29:27,080 Speaker 1: with the cap bits and then when the money gets 638 00:29:27,080 --> 00:29:29,080 Speaker 1: off the books, which actually it now is for the 639 00:29:29,120 --> 00:29:29,800 Speaker 1: Denver Broncos. 640 00:29:29,800 --> 00:29:31,200 Speaker 2: They can start to fill in the team. 641 00:29:31,680 --> 00:29:34,600 Speaker 1: They have someone on their roster who is a big name, 642 00:29:34,760 --> 00:29:37,440 Speaker 1: former big name player from college who's really cheap and 643 00:29:37,520 --> 00:29:39,680 Speaker 1: at one point was highly talented. Still fell to the 644 00:29:39,680 --> 00:29:43,560 Speaker 1: seventh round, did quid yours. But interesting to see where 645 00:29:43,600 --> 00:29:45,560 Speaker 1: the talent is. If he's able to play like he 646 00:29:45,600 --> 00:29:47,760 Speaker 1: did in spots at the end of last year, they 647 00:29:47,840 --> 00:29:49,800 Speaker 1: might have something here and that might be the one 648 00:29:49,840 --> 00:29:52,440 Speaker 1: to get them through this whole thing. I expect them 649 00:29:52,520 --> 00:29:55,680 Speaker 1: to bring in. I expect them to bring in some competition. 650 00:29:55,800 --> 00:29:59,640 Speaker 1: We'll see where that goes. But really really intriguing quarterback 651 00:29:59,680 --> 00:30:01,600 Speaker 1: situation for Miami. 652 00:30:01,680 --> 00:30:03,560 Speaker 2: Cam good stuff. Thank you very much. 653 00:30:03,600 --> 00:30:06,120 Speaker 1: As always, Mike, You're gonna be there, so I'm not 654 00:30:06,360 --> 00:30:07,400 Speaker 1: really saying anything to you. 655 00:30:07,400 --> 00:30:08,360 Speaker 2: You just stay right there. 656 00:30:08,960 --> 00:30:12,520 Speaker 11: Sam stops little smoke, kind of man wide open cutdown 657 00:30:13,240 --> 00:30:17,680 Speaker 11: say Hawks from sixteen. Now a J Barner on a 658 00:30:17,800 --> 00:30:18,600 Speaker 11: perfect pass. 659 00:30:18,920 --> 00:30:21,040 Speaker 13: Darnold, we have seen him troll that before. 660 00:30:21,360 --> 00:30:26,400 Speaker 11: Good Seahawks win Super Bowl sixteen. They are bringing all 661 00:30:26,440 --> 00:30:30,440 Speaker 11: of Barney back to the Northwest from a party begins. 662 00:30:33,200 --> 00:30:36,080 Speaker 1: We're watching that touchdown with Tom Pel Sara and our 663 00:30:36,240 --> 00:30:39,600 Speaker 1: little cool trailer for the Insiders during the Super Bowl 664 00:30:39,720 --> 00:30:42,240 Speaker 1: entire ag Barner is turned into a pretty good player, 665 00:30:42,440 --> 00:30:44,440 Speaker 1: and it's like, you know what, he really has a 666 00:30:44,480 --> 00:30:46,560 Speaker 1: lot of players on the Seahawks we are just learning about, 667 00:30:46,600 --> 00:30:49,160 Speaker 1: and man, a lot of them turned into very good players. 668 00:30:49,200 --> 00:30:50,400 Speaker 2: Welcome back in with the insiders. 669 00:30:50,440 --> 00:30:54,840 Speaker 1: Ian Rappaport, Mike Herfos, Steve Weisch hanging out with us, Steve, 670 00:30:54,840 --> 00:30:56,560 Speaker 1: I want to go to you talk about the Seahawks 671 00:30:56,560 --> 00:30:58,360 Speaker 1: a little bit to you can dig a little deeper. 672 00:30:58,360 --> 00:31:00,480 Speaker 1: I mean, look, they finished on it, unbelieve will run 673 00:31:00,560 --> 00:31:04,920 Speaker 1: certainly were dominant, dominant over the Patriots. What would you say, 674 00:31:05,080 --> 00:31:07,680 Speaker 1: like the turning point for Seattle was this year? How 675 00:31:07,680 --> 00:31:08,400 Speaker 1: did this all happen? 676 00:31:08,480 --> 00:31:09,000 Speaker 2: By the way, A J. 677 00:31:09,120 --> 00:31:11,040 Speaker 4: Barner has been a very good player all season long. 678 00:31:11,040 --> 00:31:13,320 Speaker 4: It might be the most underrated tight end in the NFL. 679 00:31:13,400 --> 00:31:16,160 Speaker 4: But let's get to that inflection point, and I think 680 00:31:16,160 --> 00:31:18,440 Speaker 4: it was the I would believe to say it's that 681 00:31:18,520 --> 00:31:22,200 Speaker 4: week sixteen over time come back victory against the Rams. 682 00:31:22,200 --> 00:31:23,560 Speaker 2: Remember they were down sixteen. 683 00:31:24,160 --> 00:31:27,000 Speaker 4: Rashichihed comes back, kicks it off with the punt return 684 00:31:27,040 --> 00:31:28,680 Speaker 4: and they get it going. But the first point to 685 00:31:28,720 --> 00:31:32,040 Speaker 4: that is that allowed them to secure the number one 686 00:31:32,080 --> 00:31:35,480 Speaker 4: seed in home field advantage. Then you had this Fluke 687 00:31:36,320 --> 00:31:39,640 Speaker 4: two point conversion which helped them convert three two point 688 00:31:39,640 --> 00:31:42,080 Speaker 4: conversions and get the win. But I want to go 689 00:31:42,120 --> 00:31:45,800 Speaker 4: back to the rashichihed punt return because that also highlighted 690 00:31:46,040 --> 00:31:49,600 Speaker 4: and amplified how good their special teams were. Because Shaheed 691 00:31:49,840 --> 00:31:52,200 Speaker 4: when they play the Niners in the final week of 692 00:31:52,240 --> 00:31:55,520 Speaker 4: the season for home field, he returns a kickoff on 693 00:31:55,560 --> 00:31:58,120 Speaker 4: the opening kickoff that leads to the route where were 694 00:31:58,120 --> 00:31:59,960 Speaker 4: most of the points coming from in the Super Bowl 695 00:32:00,120 --> 00:32:03,080 Speaker 4: From Seattle in the first half, Jason Myers ends up 696 00:32:03,080 --> 00:32:07,080 Speaker 4: with five field goals, amplified how good their special teams were. 697 00:32:07,640 --> 00:32:10,120 Speaker 2: And lastly, that game against. 698 00:32:09,800 --> 00:32:12,480 Speaker 4: The Rams was the first time all season long that 699 00:32:12,600 --> 00:32:16,880 Speaker 4: running game actually got going explosive runs with Kenneth Walker. 700 00:32:17,320 --> 00:32:20,840 Speaker 4: The rest of the season, they were topping one hundred 701 00:32:20,840 --> 00:32:23,920 Speaker 4: with ease for a couple weeks, Act Charbonay was platooning 702 00:32:24,200 --> 00:32:27,479 Speaker 4: with Kenneth Walker. Sharbone gets hurt, It is all Kenneth Walker, 703 00:32:27,680 --> 00:32:29,360 Speaker 4: and he killed it all. 704 00:32:29,160 --> 00:32:30,080 Speaker 5: Through the postseason. 705 00:32:30,160 --> 00:32:33,200 Speaker 4: So again, that game right there was the inflection point 706 00:32:33,200 --> 00:32:36,600 Speaker 4: that we saw high Note after high Note registered consistently 707 00:32:36,640 --> 00:32:38,920 Speaker 4: with Seattle all the way through the Super Bowl. 708 00:32:39,880 --> 00:32:42,520 Speaker 7: You mentioned Kenneth Walker, one of the team's key free agents, 709 00:32:42,600 --> 00:32:45,320 Speaker 7: Rieq will In another one, Rashid Chi He was a 710 00:32:45,360 --> 00:32:46,760 Speaker 7: free agent, that's why he was available. 711 00:32:47,400 --> 00:32:49,600 Speaker 5: Yeah, show them all. Maybe these are a bunch of 712 00:32:49,640 --> 00:32:50,479 Speaker 5: guys here there pretty good. 713 00:32:50,560 --> 00:32:52,719 Speaker 7: Less you don't need to be taken care of, or 714 00:32:53,160 --> 00:32:56,160 Speaker 7: we'll find work elsewhere, Steve, first order of business for 715 00:32:56,160 --> 00:32:57,760 Speaker 7: the Seahawks, been looking at this list. 716 00:32:57,520 --> 00:32:59,600 Speaker 2: Here, Well, that's not the first order of business. 717 00:32:59,640 --> 00:33:02,400 Speaker 4: The first business and you guys know this could be 718 00:33:02,440 --> 00:33:04,920 Speaker 4: the potential sale of the team. As we've seen that 719 00:33:05,040 --> 00:33:07,640 Speaker 4: this team is in a trust and it could be 720 00:33:07,680 --> 00:33:10,000 Speaker 4: put up for sale. If you know, Jody Allen is 721 00:33:10,040 --> 00:33:11,920 Speaker 4: the caretaker of the team right now. She is a 722 00:33:11,960 --> 00:33:14,640 Speaker 4: hands off owner. If this does come up for sale, 723 00:33:14,720 --> 00:33:17,240 Speaker 4: we know that is a long process. But depending on 724 00:33:17,280 --> 00:33:19,600 Speaker 4: who could possibly take over the team, that could hang 725 00:33:19,640 --> 00:33:23,400 Speaker 4: over this organization and as we know different owners, hands on, 726 00:33:23,560 --> 00:33:25,400 Speaker 4: hands off, tight with the purse strings, loose with the 727 00:33:25,440 --> 00:33:28,720 Speaker 4: purse strings. We'll see how that part goes. Then, replacing 728 00:33:28,720 --> 00:33:31,480 Speaker 4: Clint Kubiak as the offensive coordinator, that's the next step. 729 00:33:31,520 --> 00:33:34,160 Speaker 4: We saw how vital he was and getting Sam Donald 730 00:33:34,200 --> 00:33:36,560 Speaker 4: right and getting that running game going and getting the 731 00:33:36,600 --> 00:33:38,840 Speaker 4: offense going. Now, it would seem kind of a natural 732 00:33:38,840 --> 00:33:40,880 Speaker 4: and this is what Seattle has done historically. But again, 733 00:33:40,960 --> 00:33:43,680 Speaker 4: the regime is to promote from the insides. You've got 734 00:33:43,680 --> 00:33:46,920 Speaker 4: someone like passing game coordinator Jake Pets or John Benton, 735 00:33:47,000 --> 00:33:49,480 Speaker 4: same guys who kind of run the system that Sam 736 00:33:49,560 --> 00:33:52,720 Speaker 4: Donald is comfortable in. And lastly, let's get to the 737 00:33:52,800 --> 00:33:56,120 Speaker 4: Kenneth Walker situation and those free agents. We saw how 738 00:33:56,240 --> 00:33:59,320 Speaker 4: strong Kenneth Walker was at the end of the season. 739 00:33:59,360 --> 00:34:00,560 Speaker 2: I just talked about it. 740 00:34:00,880 --> 00:34:02,920 Speaker 4: He is someone that does not have a lot of 741 00:34:02,960 --> 00:34:05,720 Speaker 4: tread on the tires guys in his four seasons because 742 00:34:05,720 --> 00:34:09,200 Speaker 4: he's platooned. He has nine hundred and fifty four touches, 743 00:34:09,400 --> 00:34:12,400 Speaker 4: that's including catches. Not a big receiver, but again he 744 00:34:12,520 --> 00:34:15,480 Speaker 4: is not with a lot of wear and tear. By comparison, 745 00:34:15,760 --> 00:34:18,560 Speaker 4: Christian McCaffrey had almost half of those amount of touches 746 00:34:18,840 --> 00:34:21,320 Speaker 4: this season alone. So Seattle wants to go ahead and 747 00:34:21,360 --> 00:34:23,280 Speaker 4: resign him. They know they still have a young fresh 748 00:34:23,280 --> 00:34:25,600 Speaker 4: player who they can probably get on a pretty good 749 00:34:25,640 --> 00:34:28,680 Speaker 4: deal and he works in that system. You mentioned Rerek 750 00:34:28,680 --> 00:34:31,520 Speaker 4: Willand and Josh Job those are two of their anchor cornerbacks. 751 00:34:31,800 --> 00:34:33,680 Speaker 4: It'll be interesting to see how they play that because 752 00:34:33,719 --> 00:34:36,640 Speaker 4: we know Rerek Willen's name came up around the trade deadline. 753 00:34:36,640 --> 00:34:39,400 Speaker 4: It's someone they could possibly move. But again, this doesn't 754 00:34:39,400 --> 00:34:42,480 Speaker 4: seem like there's a radical shift in personnel. But teams 755 00:34:42,520 --> 00:34:44,560 Speaker 4: have to freshen the roster every year or else they 756 00:34:44,560 --> 00:34:46,320 Speaker 4: can get old or stale real quick. 757 00:34:47,280 --> 00:34:49,400 Speaker 7: With Reek Willan, you've talked about that buzz around the 758 00:34:49,440 --> 00:34:51,880 Speaker 7: trade deadline where they did have some teams checking in 759 00:34:51,920 --> 00:34:53,920 Speaker 7: on him. Decided you need a lot of corners if 760 00:34:53,960 --> 00:34:55,440 Speaker 7: you're gonna win the Super Bowl, and they held on 761 00:34:55,440 --> 00:34:56,920 Speaker 7: to him in this smart move in the end. But 762 00:34:57,360 --> 00:34:59,480 Speaker 7: there's a question whether or not he's an ideal fit 763 00:34:59,560 --> 00:35:01,360 Speaker 7: for their sins and wouldn't be surprised if he winds 764 00:35:01,400 --> 00:35:03,840 Speaker 7: up elsewhere. But you can't keep most, Steve. You just 765 00:35:03,840 --> 00:35:05,319 Speaker 7: try to do the best that you possibly can. If 766 00:35:05,320 --> 00:35:07,640 Speaker 7: you're John Schneider, we did a great job this year. 767 00:35:07,719 --> 00:35:09,759 Speaker 7: Thank you, Steve. Why she always doing a great job 768 00:35:10,080 --> 00:35:14,000 Speaker 7: for us. Here on the Insiders, coming up, our guy 769 00:35:14,080 --> 00:35:17,440 Speaker 7: Adam Raank gonna talk to you about the week that 770 00:35:17,920 --> 00:35:19,200 Speaker 7: was in the NFL. 771 00:35:19,600 --> 00:35:22,920 Speaker 5: Yeah, this happened.

That 782 00:36:11,680 --> 00:36:14,399 Speaker 1: might be the best gatorade splash I have ever seen. 783 00:36:14,480 --> 00:36:16,600 Speaker 1: We were leaving the stadium to beat the traffic right 784 00:36:16,640 --> 00:36:19,560 Speaker 1: when Zero's hit. I was going from the TV to 785 00:36:19,640 --> 00:36:22,160 Speaker 1: the phone and I somehow missed the gatorade That was 786 00:36:22,200 --> 00:36:26,600 Speaker 1: a kaboom. And really proud of our friend of Insiders 787 00:36:26,640 --> 00:36:29,080 Speaker 1: Mike McDonald for withstand all right. 788 00:36:29,160 --> 00:36:32,239 Speaker 2: Rank, we got you here.

Tell us about 791 00:36:38,480 --> 00:36:40,560 Speaker 2: the week that was for the Super Bowl? 792 00:36:41,040 --> 00:36:42,880 Speaker 15: Well, first of all, I didn't realize that Ian was 793 00:36:42,880 --> 00:36:45,840 Speaker 15: actually an LA sports fan because he was leaving early 794 00:36:45,880 --> 00:36:48,080 Speaker 15: to beat the traffic. But that's not here. That's not 795 00:36:48,160 --> 00:36:50,759 Speaker 15: what I'm here to talk about. Listen, it's time. Now, 796 00:36:50,800 --> 00:36:52,960 Speaker 15: it's my time to take a look back at the 797 00:36:53,080 --> 00:36:55,239 Speaker 15: week that wasn't as we put a bow on the 798 00:36:55,239 --> 00:36:58,360 Speaker 15: twenty twenty five season before we start looking forward to 799 00:36:58,440 --> 00:37:01,319 Speaker 15: twenty twenty six. Congratulations to the Seattle Seahawks for an 800 00:37:01,360 --> 00:37:05,279 Speaker 15: incredible Super Bowl performance against the New England Patriots, and 801 00:37:05,600 --> 00:37:09,120 Speaker 15: let of course buy their stellar defense, which everybody likes 802 00:37:09,160 --> 00:37:11,640 Speaker 15: to pretend they enjoyed. Like when everybody goes out there 803 00:37:11,680 --> 00:37:13,600 Speaker 15: and watches one of those four hour movies, We're like, no, 804 00:37:13,760 --> 00:37:14,680 Speaker 15: this was really great. 805 00:37:14,760 --> 00:37:15,879 Speaker 2: Nobody thought this was great. 806 00:37:15,920 --> 00:37:18,760 Speaker 15: I know a lot of you were collamoring for somebody 807 00:37:18,800 --> 00:37:22,160 Speaker 15: other than the Kansas City Chiefs being in the Super Bowl. 808 00:37:22,239 --> 00:37:24,279 Speaker 2: How'd that work out for you? Ah? How smart do 809 00:37:24,280 --> 00:37:27,040 Speaker 2: you feel right now? Because I know midway through. 810 00:37:26,880 --> 00:37:30,280 Speaker 15: This game you were begging for a Taylor Swift cutaway. 811 00:37:30,400 --> 00:37:31,320 Speaker 2: I'm not so smart. 812 00:37:31,400 --> 00:37:35,120 Speaker 15: Now, let's talk about Michael McDonald, a defensive minded coach 813 00:37:35,560 --> 00:37:39,719 Speaker 15: in an era where offensive minded coaches are hired like. 814 00:37:39,760 --> 00:37:42,840 Speaker 2: Hair bands in the eighties on. 815 00:37:42,800 --> 00:37:46,160 Speaker 15: The Sunset Strip in the aforementioned Los Angeles. 816 00:37:46,160 --> 00:37:49,360 Speaker 2: But Mike McDonald wins the Super Bowl. Could this usher 817 00:37:49,440 --> 00:37:51,160 Speaker 2: in a new era and. 818 00:37:51,120 --> 00:37:54,200 Speaker 15: Push them aside, similar to the way that Pearl Jam 819 00:37:54,400 --> 00:37:59,120 Speaker 15: and Nirvana pushed aside bands like Motley Crue and Poison 820 00:37:59,560 --> 00:38:02,200 Speaker 15: back in the late eighties. And speaking of Poison, let's 821 00:38:02,239 --> 00:38:06,000 Speaker 15: talk about the New England Patriots' offense. They say that 822 00:38:06,080 --> 00:38:09,880 Speaker 15: every rose has its thorn, and for the New England Patriots, 823 00:38:10,080 --> 00:38:13,880 Speaker 15: that thorn was Will Campbell. I'm sorry, I don't mean 824 00:38:13,920 --> 00:38:17,200 Speaker 15: to pile on Will Campbell and the offensive line because 825 00:38:17,320 --> 00:38:20,239 Speaker 15: the Seahawks already did a great job of that as 826 00:38:20,239 --> 00:38:22,839 Speaker 15: it was. But how did Will Campbell go out there 827 00:38:23,239 --> 00:38:26,320 Speaker 15: and pull the Cam Newton on the same field for 828 00:38:26,480 --> 00:38:27,920 Speaker 15: Cam Newton pulled. 829 00:38:27,719 --> 00:38:29,719 Speaker 2: The Cam Newton? What is up with that? 830 00:38:29,880 --> 00:38:32,160 Speaker 15: And by the way, here's the thing about the Patriots. 831 00:38:32,200 --> 00:38:35,520 Speaker 15: This was actually the worst part outside of the Patriots offense. 832 00:38:36,000 --> 00:38:38,839 Speaker 15: The Patriots are too likable, like a Mike Rabel, Like 833 00:38:38,840 --> 00:38:40,359 Speaker 15: he's an enjoyable human being. 834 00:38:40,400 --> 00:38:42,400 Speaker 2: I really enjoy Mike Rabel. 835 00:38:42,480 --> 00:38:45,359 Speaker 15: So not only did we have a Patriots blowout, we 836 00:38:45,440 --> 00:38:48,840 Speaker 15: didn't even get the benefit of the hate watch, Like, 837 00:38:48,880 --> 00:38:50,920 Speaker 15: what is the point of this, Patriots, We're supposed to 838 00:38:51,040 --> 00:38:53,560 Speaker 15: enjoy you losing outside of the guy from Barstool, but 839 00:38:53,640 --> 00:38:56,840 Speaker 15: everything else it was not enjoyable. We need somebody to 840 00:38:56,960 --> 00:39:00,200 Speaker 15: root against. Well, I guess there's Pooka a Kua. I 841 00:39:00,320 --> 00:39:04,000 Speaker 15: was Pookainakua trying to pick a fight with Sam Darnold 842 00:39:04,080 --> 00:39:06,920 Speaker 15: during this Why are you bashing Sam Donald in a 843 00:39:06,960 --> 00:39:09,879 Speaker 15: game you're not even playing? And listen, pookin a coua. 844 00:39:09,920 --> 00:39:12,919 Speaker 15: There were times that you were mentioned as the next 845 00:39:13,040 --> 00:39:16,960 Speaker 15: Jerry Rice. Now it feels like the next Antonio Brown 846 00:39:17,120 --> 00:39:19,839 Speaker 15: might be in a more apt comparison. Is there going 847 00:39:19,920 --> 00:39:22,680 Speaker 15: to be a time where you're just running around the 848 00:39:22,760 --> 00:39:24,800 Speaker 15: meadowlands shirtless. 849 00:39:24,440 --> 00:39:25,360 Speaker 2: Waving at people. 850 00:39:25,400 --> 00:39:27,680 Speaker 15: And by the way, Matthew Siffert, don't invite him to 851 00:39:27,719 --> 00:39:28,520 Speaker 15: stay at your house. 852 00:39:28,560 --> 00:39:29,760 Speaker 2: It is not going to work well. 853 00:39:29,960 --> 00:39:31,800 Speaker 15: But I want to go back to my guy, Sam 854 00:39:31,840 --> 00:39:35,759 Speaker 15: Darnald because he in Super Bowl MVP.
