Speaker 6: glory years in the Big Ten. He's nodding accordingly. How

38
00:02:02,320 --> 00:02:05,200
Speaker 6: about it, everyone, Max Melton, I'm rookie.

39
00:02:06,240 --> 00:02:06,880
Speaker 7: How y'all doing?

40
00:02:07,840 --> 00:02:09,560
Speaker 6: I mean, Max, you could have end up in Buffalo,

41
00:02:09,600 --> 00:02:11,320
Speaker 6: You could have ended up in Green Bay, you know

42
00:02:11,440 --> 00:02:13,919
Speaker 6: something like that. I mean, how much are you enjoying

43
00:02:14,080 --> 00:02:15,600
Speaker 6: December in Arizona right now?

44
00:02:15,639 --> 00:02:18,960
Speaker 8: I'm loving it seventy five eighty every day, Like it

45
00:02:19,000 --> 00:02:19,840
Speaker 8: doesn't get better than that.

46
00:02:19,880 --> 00:02:22,880
Speaker 7: And being from New Jersey, like, forget about why I played.

47
00:02:22,919 --> 00:02:25,880
Speaker 8: Just being in New Jersey, I get those wins where

48
00:02:25,919 --> 00:02:27,840
Speaker 8: if it was like twelve degrees outside where we had

49
00:02:27,880 --> 00:02:30,160
Speaker 8: them single digit days, all those eight degrees outside. So

50
00:02:31,040 --> 00:02:32,880
Speaker 8: being this time of year and being in Arizona, like

51
00:02:32,919 --> 00:02:34,679
Speaker 8: y'all know how blessed y'all is, and I hope I

52
00:02:34,680 --> 00:02:35,600
Speaker 8: could be here a long time.

53
00:02:36,120 --> 00:02:39,120
Speaker 1: So Max, what kind of season do you feel like

54
00:02:39,520 --> 00:02:42,960
Speaker 1: you're having so far? And I'm talking about you personally,

55
00:02:43,360 --> 00:02:47,200
Speaker 1: not the team collectively, but you your rookie season personally,

56
00:02:47,480 --> 00:02:48,680
Speaker 1: what kind of season do you.

57
00:02:48,639 --> 00:02:52,120
Speaker 8: Feel like you're having a trending seasonnded, Yeah, as soon

58
00:02:52,160 --> 00:02:54,480
Speaker 8: as I as soon as I got in, it was

59
00:02:54,520 --> 00:02:56,240
Speaker 8: a lot of it was a lot of rookie bumps,

60
00:02:56,320 --> 00:02:58,560
Speaker 8: you know, But as soon as soon as the year

61
00:02:58,560 --> 00:03:00,880
Speaker 8: started progressing, I just keep getting better and better. And

62
00:03:01,080 --> 00:03:02,320
Speaker 8: by the end of the year, I hope I reached

63
00:03:02,320 --> 00:03:04,160
Speaker 8: my full potential with my rookie year. So yeah, I

64
00:03:04,200 --> 00:03:05,239
Speaker 8: would say a training season.

65
00:03:06,240 --> 00:03:09,040
Speaker 1: I've got another thing I want to say, PAULI right now, Okay,

66
00:03:09,560 --> 00:03:12,919
Speaker 1: there was an article on ESPN that ranked the top

67
00:03:13,200 --> 00:03:16,760
Speaker 1: ten rookies in the National Football League right now based

68
00:03:16,800 --> 00:03:19,680
Speaker 1: on their rookie season. Right top ten rookies in the

69
00:03:19,760 --> 00:03:22,800
Speaker 1: National Football League. Marvin Harrison Junior was number nine. Damn

70
00:03:22,960 --> 00:03:26,000
Speaker 1: that was interesting, right there, Marvin Harrison Junior number nine.

71
00:03:26,040 --> 00:03:28,160
Speaker 1: Then they went down with about three or four more

72
00:03:28,240 --> 00:03:31,360
Speaker 1: categories and they said some other things about the rookie

73
00:03:31,440 --> 00:03:35,280
Speaker 1: rookie most likely to possibly be a pro bowler whatever

74
00:03:35,320 --> 00:03:39,720
Speaker 1: it may be eventually. But they had another another question

75
00:03:39,880 --> 00:03:44,520
Speaker 1: that said, who is the rookie that is going to

76
00:03:44,800 --> 00:03:48,000
Speaker 1: make the biggest jump from year one? Is rookie year

77
00:03:48,040 --> 00:03:52,000
Speaker 1: to year two? And you know they said, Max Melton.

78
00:03:52,560 --> 00:03:55,400
Speaker 5: Wow, of all the works.

79
00:03:55,040 --> 00:03:58,240
Speaker 1: Of all the rookies in the National Football League, they

80
00:03:58,360 --> 00:04:02,120
Speaker 1: picked Max Melton to make the biggest jump from his

81
00:04:02,240 --> 00:04:05,360
Speaker 1: rookie season to year two. What are they seeing?

82
00:04:05,480 --> 00:04:09,720
Speaker 8: Bas They saw a trending season, like I said, And

83
00:04:09,720 --> 00:04:11,680
Speaker 8: they see I'm heading in the right direction. Like all

84
00:04:11,720 --> 00:04:13,280
Speaker 8: I needed was to get my feet wet. Once I

85
00:04:13,320 --> 00:04:15,040
Speaker 8: get my feet wet, I'm taking it. I'm taking the

86
00:04:15,080 --> 00:04:17,479
Speaker 8: cannon ball in the pool. So that's all I got

87
00:04:17,480 --> 00:04:19,720
Speaker 8: to say about that. But now I appreciate ESPN. They

88
00:04:19,720 --> 00:04:22,560
Speaker 8: gotta got a lot of good analysts over there. But yeah,

89
00:04:22,600 --> 00:04:24,520
Speaker 8: I'll just keep my head down, keep working. I'll eventually

90
00:04:24,520 --> 00:04:25,240
Speaker 8: be where I want to be.

91
00:04:25,360 --> 00:04:28,080
Speaker 1: I love that right there. Keep your head down, right, always,

92
00:04:28,160 --> 00:04:29,479
Speaker 1: keep your head down, man.

93
00:04:29,920 --> 00:04:32,600
Speaker 7: I never unless somebody sends me something.

94
00:04:32,640 --> 00:04:35,800
Speaker 8: I rarely see what ESPN says or what Twitter or

95
00:04:35,880 --> 00:04:38,760
Speaker 8: exes now what it's called, but I really see those things,

96
00:04:38,760 --> 00:04:41,760
Speaker 8: but unless somebody sent it to me. But try to

97
00:04:41,880 --> 00:04:43,560
Speaker 8: just block out the outside noise as much as you

98
00:04:43,600 --> 00:04:45,680
Speaker 8: can because the time you're spending on that, at the time,

99
00:04:45,680 --> 00:04:47,640
Speaker 8: you could be spending getting yourself better, you know.

100
00:04:47,720 --> 00:04:48,720
Speaker 7: So that's how I look at it.

101
00:04:48,800 --> 00:04:51,760
Speaker 6: Huge the fact that they picked a corner back, yeah,

102
00:04:51,800 --> 00:04:55,359
Speaker 6: as the breakout player. That's remarkable. I mean, that's a

103
00:04:55,400 --> 00:04:57,479
Speaker 6: compliment times ten now, it really is.

104
00:04:57,600 --> 00:05:01,040
Speaker 7: Corner corner is the hardest position physically in football.

105
00:05:01,600 --> 00:05:03,960
Speaker 6: And we're gonna get into what Buddah Baker has said

106
00:05:03,960 --> 00:05:06,599
Speaker 6: about your development. Okay, a little later, what Jonathan Gannon

107
00:05:06,680 --> 00:05:08,720
Speaker 6: is said about your development. But just give us a

108
00:05:08,760 --> 00:05:11,080
Speaker 6: quick thought, like we're gonna talk about the Seattle game.

109
00:05:11,520 --> 00:05:13,919
Speaker 6: Talk about going against some of the elite, the best

110
00:05:13,920 --> 00:05:16,440
Speaker 6: of the best receivers weekend week out. Think of the

111
00:05:16,520 --> 00:05:19,560
Speaker 6: teams in the receiver rooms you guys have played this year,

112
00:05:19,600 --> 00:05:23,839
Speaker 6: from Miami to Chicago, the Jets Seattle two of the

113
00:05:23,920 --> 00:05:24,840
Speaker 6: last three games.

114
00:05:25,080 --> 00:05:27,920
Speaker 5: What have you learned about NFL receivers.

115
00:05:28,520 --> 00:05:30,960
Speaker 8: It's nothing new to be honest with you, Like playing

116
00:05:31,000 --> 00:05:33,000
Speaker 8: in the Big Ten in college, like we always play

117
00:05:33,040 --> 00:05:34,960
Speaker 8: against the best receiver in the nation, you know what

118
00:05:34,960 --> 00:05:37,119
Speaker 8: I'm saying, Like I have. I remember my freshman year

119
00:05:37,400 --> 00:05:40,080
Speaker 8: were playing Ohio State. It's my freshman year of COVID year.

120
00:05:40,360 --> 00:05:44,160
Speaker 8: I guarded Chris Olive, Gary Williams and Jamo Man coverage

121
00:05:44,240 --> 00:05:46,000
Speaker 8: like the whole game my freshman ye year, saying, straight

122
00:05:46,000 --> 00:05:48,600
Speaker 8: off high school. So playing the best receivers isn't nothing

123
00:05:48,600 --> 00:05:50,719
Speaker 8: to me like that, I've been doing that so but

124
00:05:51,120 --> 00:05:53,160
Speaker 8: not a lot of respect to those guys. But we

125
00:05:53,240 --> 00:05:55,560
Speaker 8: went out there with a plan and we executed it.

126
00:05:55,600 --> 00:05:57,400
Speaker 8: So with a lot of those games, we had good

127
00:05:57,400 --> 00:05:59,040
Speaker 8: games in the back end versus then. But it's all

128
00:05:59,040 --> 00:05:59,640
Speaker 8: in preparation.

129
00:06:00,320 --> 00:06:04,440
Speaker 1: Max. When we say Seattle Seahawks thirty arason of Cardinals eighteen,

130
00:06:04,920 --> 00:06:08,160
Speaker 1: what do you think of first opportunity?

131
00:06:08,400 --> 00:06:11,120
Speaker 8: It was an opportunity that we didn't that we didn't

132
00:06:11,320 --> 00:06:14,159
Speaker 8: quote onto, you know what I'm saying. So we still

133
00:06:14,160 --> 00:06:15,760
Speaker 8: got a whole another four games ahead of us. That's

134
00:06:15,760 --> 00:06:17,320
Speaker 8: a quarter of the season. You know what, I'm saying so,

135
00:06:17,640 --> 00:06:19,599
Speaker 8: and everything we want is still out in the open.

136
00:06:19,720 --> 00:06:22,599
Speaker 8: So being that we lost that game, the season not over.

137
00:06:22,680 --> 00:06:24,920
Speaker 8: You know, things could turn this way that way, and

138
00:06:24,920 --> 00:06:26,720
Speaker 8: we were in playoffs on the wildcard just like that.

139
00:06:26,839 --> 00:06:30,120
Speaker 6: So here's your quarterback Kyler Murray after the thirty to

140
00:06:30,160 --> 00:06:31,640
Speaker 6: eighteen loss against Seattle.

141
00:06:32,240 --> 00:06:34,640
Speaker 9: Tough part to understand the opportunity that we had. Felt

142
00:06:34,640 --> 00:06:36,440
Speaker 9: like we didn't give them our best at all, you know,

143
00:06:37,000 --> 00:06:39,240
Speaker 9: either opportunity that we had to play against him, not

144
00:06:39,320 --> 00:06:41,760
Speaker 9: only that, just you know the implications that were part

145
00:06:41,760 --> 00:06:44,560
Speaker 9: of the game. Obviously, you know we weren't thinking about that,

146
00:06:44,640 --> 00:06:47,800
Speaker 9: but we understood what was at stake. But to let

147
00:06:47,800 --> 00:06:50,680
Speaker 9: it go and not play our best is you know,

148
00:06:50,720 --> 00:06:51,560
Speaker 9: that was a tough part.

149
00:06:51,880 --> 00:06:54,560
Speaker 6: How would you describe the vibe this week in practice?

150
00:06:54,600 --> 00:06:56,479
Speaker 6: How do you think the team has responded. What sort

151
00:06:56,480 --> 00:06:58,719
Speaker 6: of message have you received from the head coach?

152
00:06:58,880 --> 00:07:01,360
Speaker 8: We know what human nature and if you lose, if

153
00:07:01,400 --> 00:07:03,560
Speaker 8: you lose that many games straight, you know, human issue

154
00:07:03,600 --> 00:07:05,359
Speaker 8: is going to do to you, like put your head down,

155
00:07:05,760 --> 00:07:08,479
Speaker 8: mope around all the seasons over, which is not and

156
00:07:08,600 --> 00:07:10,560
Speaker 8: just like be on a bad vibe. But we've been

157
00:07:10,560 --> 00:07:13,680
Speaker 8: focusing on keeping it high energy, hitting a reset and

158
00:07:13,760 --> 00:07:15,320
Speaker 8: just like taking a deep breath, you know, because we

159
00:07:15,360 --> 00:07:16,920
Speaker 8: still got Like I said, we got a quarter of

160
00:07:16,920 --> 00:07:18,760
Speaker 8: the season ahead of us, So we have to take

161
00:07:18,800 --> 00:07:20,920
Speaker 8: that seriously because who knows what can happen, you know

162
00:07:20,920 --> 00:07:23,520
Speaker 8: what I'm saying. So it's just one game at a time,

163
00:07:23,560 --> 00:07:24,840
Speaker 8: but we know everything is up.

164
00:07:24,720 --> 00:07:27,520
Speaker 1: For the take. Max. When you watch the tape, how

165
00:07:27,520 --> 00:07:31,040
Speaker 1: did the secondary play overall? When you guys watched it,

166
00:07:31,120 --> 00:07:34,360
Speaker 1: broke it down and evaluated yourself, how did the secondary

167
00:07:34,400 --> 00:07:36,320
Speaker 1: play against Geno Smith?

168
00:07:36,640 --> 00:07:38,840
Speaker 8: Pretty good? I believe both games we played pretty good,

169
00:07:38,840 --> 00:07:41,400
Speaker 8: but it wasn't enough to get the job done so close.

170
00:07:41,440 --> 00:07:42,960
Speaker 8: But no cigar, you know what I'm saying. So we

171
00:07:43,120 --> 00:07:45,280
Speaker 8: just need to fine tune a couple of things here

172
00:07:45,320 --> 00:07:47,720
Speaker 8: and there and hold it down from here on out.

173
00:07:47,960 --> 00:07:49,440
Speaker 7: But not both games.

174
00:07:49,480 --> 00:07:52,960
Speaker 8: I think we played exceptional, but there's little stuff here

175
00:07:52,960 --> 00:07:54,600
Speaker 8: and there that we have to clean up to keep

176
00:07:54,600 --> 00:07:55,360
Speaker 8: points off the board.

177
00:07:55,840 --> 00:07:59,560
Speaker 6: Here's Sean Murphy bunting, right guy in that cornerback room

178
00:07:59,600 --> 00:08:01,240
Speaker 6: with you. It was right after the game in the

179
00:08:01,280 --> 00:08:03,840
Speaker 6: locker room. Here's what he told us about going forward

180
00:08:03,880 --> 00:08:05,040
Speaker 6: and staying locked in.

181
00:08:05,760 --> 00:08:07,880
Speaker 10: Our whole thing was really just being able to stay

182
00:08:07,920 --> 00:08:10,200
Speaker 10: so locked in and so keen and knowing that this

183
00:08:10,280 --> 00:08:12,000
Speaker 10: is really when the season starts. You know, this is

184
00:08:12,000 --> 00:08:15,320
Speaker 10: really when the playoff hunt goes. It's November December, and

185
00:08:15,360 --> 00:08:18,520
Speaker 10: it's playoff football, and every single game matters, every single

186
00:08:18,840 --> 00:08:20,480
Speaker 10: play matters. So you got to be locked in and

187
00:08:20,560 --> 00:08:22,960
Speaker 10: doubt in and focused as much as you can so

188
00:08:23,000 --> 00:08:25,040
Speaker 10: that you can get a win because they're very crucial.

189
00:08:25,320 --> 00:08:29,400
Speaker 6: How much of what you've seen since the buye is correctable?

190
00:08:29,440 --> 00:08:31,920
Speaker 5: When you guys watch those three games.

191
00:08:31,680 --> 00:08:34,840
Speaker 8: A lot like is mistakes on the film, but it's

192
00:08:34,880 --> 00:08:36,320
Speaker 8: nothing you can do but correct them. Get in the

193
00:08:36,320 --> 00:08:38,880
Speaker 8: film room the next day, like whatever you did, Like, yeah,

194
00:08:38,920 --> 00:08:41,560
Speaker 8: that's in the past. Now quarter the season ahead of us.

195
00:08:41,559 --> 00:08:43,400
Speaker 8: We got to execute. One thing we have to do

196
00:08:43,520 --> 00:08:45,640
Speaker 8: is not kill ourselves. We have to go out there

197
00:08:45,640 --> 00:08:47,960
Speaker 8: and execute our game plan because we know that's what

198
00:08:48,000 --> 00:08:49,360
Speaker 8: gives us the best shot to win the game.

199
00:08:49,720 --> 00:08:52,079
Speaker 6: The other thing, Jonathan Gannon said it, and then Nick

200
00:08:52,160 --> 00:08:55,800
Speaker 6: Rowlis said it, your defensive coordinator, motor and mode and

201
00:08:55,920 --> 00:08:58,760
Speaker 6: mode of play. Explain that to everyone. What they meant

202
00:08:58,800 --> 00:09:00,640
Speaker 6: by that and what more they want to see.

203
00:09:01,040 --> 00:09:03,720
Speaker 8: Motor is how hard you play. Basically, like you can.

204
00:09:04,040 --> 00:09:06,080
Speaker 8: You can be out there. You can make a tackle

205
00:09:06,120 --> 00:09:08,960
Speaker 8: one play, but they might break one of the next

206
00:09:08,960 --> 00:09:10,600
Speaker 8: play and you're jogging, but you could have been there

207
00:09:10,640 --> 00:09:12,720
Speaker 8: to save the play. So that's just play after play.

208
00:09:12,760 --> 00:09:15,920
Speaker 8: How hard you play and motive play is like how

209
00:09:15,960 --> 00:09:19,760
Speaker 8: we play. It's the things that go into like tackling

210
00:09:20,000 --> 00:09:22,600
Speaker 8: and the way we get PBUs and stuff like that.

211
00:09:22,679 --> 00:09:25,640
Speaker 8: It's just a lot of technique, I would say, and

212
00:09:25,679 --> 00:09:26,240
Speaker 8: how we play.

213
00:09:26,800 --> 00:09:30,080
Speaker 1: So when we look at a coroner's best friend being

214
00:09:30,120 --> 00:09:32,520
Speaker 1: the pass rush, Yeah, and you think of the first

215
00:09:32,520 --> 00:09:35,680
Speaker 1: Seattle game, you sacked Gino Smith five times, really got

216
00:09:35,800 --> 00:09:38,400
Speaker 1: after him a lot. He wasn't under a lot of

217
00:09:38,480 --> 00:09:41,360
Speaker 1: the rest this game. How much different is that for

218
00:09:41,480 --> 00:09:43,600
Speaker 1: you guys in the secondary US.

219
00:09:43,640 --> 00:09:44,160
Speaker 7: It's simple.

220
00:09:44,240 --> 00:09:46,240
Speaker 8: You know, if they don't get back there fast enough,

221
00:09:46,280 --> 00:09:49,120
Speaker 8: we have to cover longer. But it's complimentary. So if

222
00:09:49,120 --> 00:09:52,719
Speaker 8: we strap everything and Gino can't go nowhere, they'll get

223
00:09:52,720 --> 00:09:53,040
Speaker 8: a sack.

224
00:09:53,520 --> 00:09:54,120
Speaker 7: You know what I'm saying.

225
00:09:54,160 --> 00:09:57,520
Speaker 8: If somebody, let's say, a D liney comes free, but

226
00:09:57,600 --> 00:09:59,880
Speaker 8: I get cooked on the route, easy read for Gino

227
00:10:00,040 --> 00:10:01,920
Speaker 8: he could toss it up there. It goes hand to hand.

228
00:10:01,960 --> 00:10:04,920
Speaker 8: You know what I'm saying, so we never point fingers.

229
00:10:05,040 --> 00:10:07,200
Speaker 8: We always plaint the thumb, what could I have done better?

230
00:10:07,520 --> 00:10:09,640
Speaker 8: But they're gonna have good games, they gonna have bad games.

231
00:10:09,679 --> 00:10:10,720
Speaker 8: We just have to play off each other.

232
00:10:10,840 --> 00:10:13,920
Speaker 1: I love that mentality right there. Not everybody has that,

233
00:10:14,800 --> 00:10:15,719
Speaker 1: It's true.

234
00:10:15,840 --> 00:10:18,280
Speaker 6: You know what's interesting is I was talking to some

235
00:10:18,320 --> 00:10:20,680
Speaker 6: of the guys in Lockham just about how Seattle disguises

236
00:10:20,679 --> 00:10:22,640
Speaker 6: a lot of their coverages, and they said, you know

237
00:10:22,679 --> 00:10:25,800
Speaker 6: who disguises coverages just as well and just as often

238
00:10:26,000 --> 00:10:27,000
Speaker 6: the Arizona Cardinals.

239
00:10:27,080 --> 00:10:29,960
Speaker 1: Yeah, everybody's doing that in the NFL today. Everyone's trying

240
00:10:29,960 --> 00:10:30,640
Speaker 1: to disguise it.

241
00:10:30,800 --> 00:10:33,520
Speaker 6: You got to so Max, give us a football one

242
00:10:33,559 --> 00:10:38,320
Speaker 6: on one? Right, what is what does that mean disguising coverages?

243
00:10:38,440 --> 00:10:40,559
Speaker 6: Is there a simple explanation? Because it is all the

244
00:10:40,640 --> 00:10:42,400
Speaker 6: rage in the NFL, and I'm guessing a lot of

245
00:10:42,440 --> 00:10:43,719
Speaker 6: people maybe don't follow it.

246
00:10:44,000 --> 00:10:46,600
Speaker 8: Okay, So let's say we want the quarterback to think

247
00:10:46,600 --> 00:10:49,120
Speaker 8: wearing man coverage. You know, I play corner. I'm on

248
00:10:49,160 --> 00:10:52,640
Speaker 8: the outside, get up in the wide receiver's face, knowing

249
00:10:52,720 --> 00:10:55,080
Speaker 8: I have a deep zone, knowing I have to protect

250
00:10:55,120 --> 00:10:57,880
Speaker 8: the deep ball. Right, so all the way into the snap,

251
00:10:58,000 --> 00:10:59,960
Speaker 8: I'm staring at the ride receiver a yard from him.

252
00:11:00,080 --> 00:11:03,240
Speaker 8: Quarterback thinks his man coverage. As soon as the ball snaps,

253
00:11:03,280 --> 00:11:06,120
Speaker 8: I bel off. I start running backwards. Quarterback thinks the

254
00:11:06,160 --> 00:11:08,240
Speaker 8: deep balls open, he'll throw it up. I catch a pick.

255
00:11:08,920 --> 00:11:10,559
Speaker 8: He thought I was it was man covers. I actually

256
00:11:10,559 --> 00:11:12,120
Speaker 8: had a deep zone. He throwed a go ball into

257
00:11:12,120 --> 00:11:14,360
Speaker 8: a deep zone. So that's what me disguise are covers

258
00:11:14,400 --> 00:11:16,280
Speaker 8: make the quarterback thinks you're doing one thing when you're

259
00:11:16,320 --> 00:11:18,559
Speaker 8: actually doing Another's.

260
00:11:17,760 --> 00:11:21,439
Speaker 1: No doubt about it. Man and defenses are really really good.

261
00:11:21,800 --> 00:11:24,080
Speaker 1: The problem is everyone's got to be on the same

262
00:11:24,160 --> 00:11:26,920
Speaker 1: page because the thing that will beat you quicker than

263
00:11:27,080 --> 00:11:29,680
Speaker 1: anything else on a football field mental errors.

264
00:11:29,760 --> 00:11:32,360
Speaker 8: Exactly right, exactly, Like that's what that was. One thing

265
00:11:32,400 --> 00:11:34,120
Speaker 8: we had to correct. Like I just said a couple

266
00:11:34,160 --> 00:11:37,240
Speaker 8: of questions ago, like you can't kill yourself. You can't

267
00:11:37,280 --> 00:11:39,600
Speaker 8: do it because it's it's not it's not pee wee,

268
00:11:39,640 --> 00:11:43,760
Speaker 8: it's it's not college, it's NFL. Quarterback sees that and

269
00:11:43,840 --> 00:11:46,040
Speaker 8: the ball is going and under a second, you.

270
00:11:46,000 --> 00:11:49,000
Speaker 1: Know on that right there, Max, tell everybody just how

271
00:11:49,080 --> 00:11:55,720
Speaker 1: different the NFL is than college, even because college, I mean,

272
00:11:55,760 --> 00:11:58,480
Speaker 1: it's very tough physically, of course, and think it's even

273
00:11:58,520 --> 00:12:01,160
Speaker 1: more of a jump, I think going physically from high

274
00:12:01,200 --> 00:12:07,400
Speaker 1: school to college. But man mentally, it's so much different

275
00:12:07,480 --> 00:12:08,120
Speaker 1: than the NFL.

276
00:12:08,240 --> 00:12:12,880
Speaker 8: Right, Yeah, bigger playbook, better competition, smarter competition. So you

277
00:12:12,960 --> 00:12:15,360
Speaker 8: have to learn your playbook that's three times the sides

278
00:12:15,400 --> 00:12:17,439
Speaker 8: of the college playbook and then go out play a

279
00:12:17,720 --> 00:12:21,920
Speaker 8: NFL quarterback and Gino Smith of the top quarterbacks in the.

280
00:12:21,920 --> 00:12:22,760
Speaker 7: League, you know what I'm saying.

281
00:12:22,840 --> 00:12:25,680
Speaker 8: So it's a lot, but you'll get to it because

282
00:12:25,800 --> 00:12:26,600
Speaker 8: it's your job now.

283
00:12:26,640 --> 00:12:27,640
Speaker 7: You ain't got nothing else to do.

284
00:12:28,920 --> 00:12:32,160
Speaker 6: This time last year, when your teammate Garrett Williams is

285
00:12:32,200 --> 00:12:34,160
Speaker 6: a rookie, he sat right in that seat on this

286
00:12:34,240 --> 00:12:37,120
Speaker 6: stage and said he was already bored with college football

287
00:12:37,840 --> 00:12:41,360
Speaker 6: because the NFL is so much more advanced and complicated.

288
00:12:42,400 --> 00:12:45,400
Speaker 6: I thought that was really interesting. We'll continue with Max Melton.

Speaker 3: And it's knocked away incomplete. Great job, by Max Melton,

295
00:13:06,400 --> 00:13:07,840
Speaker 3: the rookie out of Rutgers.

296
00:13:07,880 --> 00:13:11,320
Speaker 1: Max Melton on the outside one on one. What a

297
00:13:11,559 --> 00:13:13,760
Speaker 1: great play by the rookie.

298
00:13:13,880 --> 00:13:17,120
Speaker 3: Williams throws over the middle incomplete, pass was high, Max

299
00:13:17,160 --> 00:13:20,840
Speaker 3: Melton got a hand on it. Max Melton, second round pick,

300
00:13:21,000 --> 00:13:22,240
Speaker 3: having his best game.

301
00:13:22,400 --> 00:13:24,920
Speaker 1: He was playing man all whatever.

302
00:13:24,559 --> 00:13:25,720
Speaker 5: It was, it was terrific.

303
00:13:25,840 --> 00:13:29,240
Speaker 3: Rogers back to throw Fate left out of the end zone, incomplete,

304
00:13:29,880 --> 00:13:33,920
Speaker 3: Max Melton with excellent coverage on Wilson and Max Melton

305
00:13:33,920 --> 00:13:35,880
Speaker 3: coming to his own here the last couple of games

306
00:13:35,880 --> 00:13:39,880
Speaker 3: fade right side into the end zone and it is incomplete.

307
00:13:40,040 --> 00:13:42,480
Speaker 3: Max Melton at the last second looked like he maybe

308
00:13:42,559 --> 00:13:44,480
Speaker 3: got a hand on the ball or unlock it.

309
00:13:44,760 --> 00:13:47,960
Speaker 1: Great job by Max Melton, made the play and got

310
00:13:48,000 --> 00:13:48,760
Speaker 1: the pig out.

311
00:13:49,000 --> 00:13:52,559
Speaker 3: Great stick by Max Melton. Otherwise, that's a big play.

312
00:13:52,760 --> 00:13:56,679
Speaker 1: What a tackle by Max Melton right there. There's some

313
00:13:56,920 --> 00:13:59,960
Speaker 1: great blue feathers stacked up on the thirty five.

314
00:14:01,200 --> 00:14:04,520
Speaker 5: Wow, a lot of highlights for our Jim on one hundred.

315
00:14:04,760 --> 00:14:07,400
Speaker 6: Choose from let's see against the Chargers you had nine

316
00:14:07,559 --> 00:14:11,320
Speaker 6: tackles and a force fumble against Lad McConkie, fellow rookie

317
00:14:11,320 --> 00:14:13,480
Speaker 6: at eight tackles at Miami.

318
00:14:13,520 --> 00:14:14,040
Speaker 7: How about that.

319
00:14:14,120 --> 00:14:17,240
Speaker 6: We're talking about Max Melton here on The Big Red

320
00:14:17,320 --> 00:14:20,320
Speaker 6: Rage presented by Santan Ford and Gilbert Live from Trophy

321
00:14:20,400 --> 00:14:23,240
Speaker 6: and Chandler located on Queen Creek Road between Price and Dobson.

322
00:14:23,440 --> 00:14:27,080
Speaker 6: We're talking to the rookie, Max Melton and Wolf. I

323
00:14:27,120 --> 00:14:29,040
Speaker 6: might not know much, but I know this much. If

324
00:14:29,040 --> 00:14:31,440
Speaker 6: you're not gonna tackle, you're not gonna play corner for

325
00:14:31,560 --> 00:14:35,400
Speaker 6: Jonathan Gannon. You got that right, yes, in the fact

326
00:14:35,440 --> 00:14:40,080
Speaker 6: that corner is his area in position of expertise, Max, Yeah,

327
00:14:40,280 --> 00:14:42,800
Speaker 6: talk about that a little bit because you know, I'm

328
00:14:42,800 --> 00:14:46,120
Speaker 6: guessing that comes with maybe some added expectations.

329
00:14:46,160 --> 00:14:48,600
Speaker 5: When the head coach, that's that's his position.

330
00:14:48,240 --> 00:14:50,120
Speaker 7: As his position, that's definitely his position.

331
00:14:50,160 --> 00:14:52,760
Speaker 8: I practiced said, Hey, he pulled me to the side

332
00:14:53,080 --> 00:14:56,280
Speaker 8: correcting my technique. You know, it's kind of funny, and uh,

333
00:14:56,400 --> 00:14:58,800
Speaker 8: it's good having a head coach as kind of your

334
00:14:58,920 --> 00:15:01,600
Speaker 8: like secondary position, because that's his job, you know what

335
00:15:01,600 --> 00:15:02,000
Speaker 8: I'm saying.

336
00:15:02,040 --> 00:15:03,960
Speaker 7: So now I don't take it for granted at all.

337
00:15:04,360 --> 00:15:05,840
Speaker 1: You know, when we talked to you all the way

338
00:15:05,880 --> 00:15:08,840
Speaker 1: back in August, you were talking about the language and

339
00:15:08,920 --> 00:15:11,720
Speaker 1: having to learn the language, right now. How are you

340
00:15:11,800 --> 00:15:14,120
Speaker 1: doing with that? In terms of learning the language of

341
00:15:14,160 --> 00:15:15,400
Speaker 1: the National Football League?

342
00:15:15,480 --> 00:15:17,640
Speaker 7: It's embedded than me. Now now I got it, Like

343
00:15:17,720 --> 00:15:19,600
Speaker 7: now it's like full go. I can spit it out

344
00:15:19,640 --> 00:15:21,000
Speaker 7: to you like it's my first language.

345
00:15:21,000 --> 00:15:24,640
Speaker 8: So it was a transition coming from college to NFL

346
00:15:24,840 --> 00:15:27,720
Speaker 8: because one one coverage might be called the same thing,

347
00:15:28,280 --> 00:15:30,320
Speaker 8: or one country might be the same thing but fall differently,

348
00:15:30,320 --> 00:15:32,520
Speaker 8: you know what I'm saying. So so yeah, yeah, I

349
00:15:32,520 --> 00:15:34,040
Speaker 8: definitely got the language down now though.

350
00:15:34,080 --> 00:15:37,600
Speaker 1: So how much has that improved you as a player

351
00:15:37,760 --> 00:15:39,680
Speaker 1: because you have that language.

352
00:15:39,280 --> 00:15:41,160
Speaker 8: Down, I don't gotta think at all. I could just

353
00:15:41,160 --> 00:15:42,960
Speaker 8: react to see that the difference.

354
00:15:43,080 --> 00:15:45,520
Speaker 7: That's exactly the difference in the NFL.

355
00:15:46,080 --> 00:15:49,080
Speaker 8: It's a game of inches and sometimes I have I

356
00:15:49,120 --> 00:15:52,440
Speaker 8: have photos of where it was like millimeters away from

357
00:15:52,480 --> 00:15:55,160
Speaker 8: making plays, you know. So it's that hesitation you have

358
00:15:55,320 --> 00:15:57,360
Speaker 8: that'll make you like a yard away from a player,

359
00:15:57,360 --> 00:15:59,200
Speaker 8: you know what I'm saying. So if you eliminate that hesitation,

360
00:15:59,400 --> 00:16:00,720
Speaker 8: you can make a lot of plays.

361
00:16:01,160 --> 00:16:04,920
Speaker 6: You mentioned earlier, you're trending up your ascending Why can

362
00:16:04,960 --> 00:16:07,200
Speaker 6: you break that down a little bit? How and where

363
00:16:07,240 --> 00:16:08,600
Speaker 6: and why are you getting better?

364
00:16:09,880 --> 00:16:11,720
Speaker 8: Kind of what I just said taking the thinking out

365
00:16:11,760 --> 00:16:13,600
Speaker 8: of things. You know, when you're out there thinking you're

366
00:16:13,640 --> 00:16:15,400
Speaker 8: not gonna be at your best. You might play good still,

367
00:16:15,400 --> 00:16:17,760
Speaker 8: but it's not gonna be your best. And yeah, just

368
00:16:17,800 --> 00:16:21,800
Speaker 8: having the defense. It's a difference between knowing something and

369
00:16:21,920 --> 00:16:23,800
Speaker 8: no knowing something. We say that within the building. If

370
00:16:23,800 --> 00:16:26,360
Speaker 8: you know it, then you can react. So I've just

371
00:16:26,400 --> 00:16:28,240
Speaker 8: been getting more comfortable in the defense and that's why

372
00:16:28,240 --> 00:16:29,320
Speaker 8: more players are being made.

373
00:16:29,640 --> 00:16:31,440
Speaker 1: You know, you're making an awful lot of plays on

374
00:16:31,520 --> 00:16:34,600
Speaker 1: special teams. Yeah, as well, Man, talk a little bit

375
00:16:34,640 --> 00:16:37,120
Speaker 1: about that. How are you enjoying the special teams? Max?

376
00:16:37,240 --> 00:16:37,760
Speaker 7: It's lovely.

377
00:16:37,800 --> 00:16:40,120
Speaker 8: They got me on well most weeks they'll have me

378
00:16:40,160 --> 00:16:44,200
Speaker 8: on every single special team kickoff, kickoff return, pump pump return,

379
00:16:44,520 --> 00:16:45,120
Speaker 8: and I love it.

380
00:16:45,120 --> 00:16:46,360
Speaker 7: It's just another play football.

381
00:16:46,640 --> 00:16:48,200
Speaker 8: I talk to you guys in August and I said that,

382
00:16:48,240 --> 00:16:50,560
Speaker 8: matter of fact, it's just it's another playing football.

383
00:16:50,600 --> 00:16:52,880
Speaker 7: So it's thirty three percent of the game.

384
00:16:53,280 --> 00:16:55,760
Speaker 8: We've seen a lot of a lot of games get

385
00:16:55,800 --> 00:16:57,960
Speaker 8: won and lost all special teams and you don't even

386
00:16:58,000 --> 00:17:00,640
Speaker 8: know it. You kick a you kick a punt, you

387
00:17:00,720 --> 00:17:03,120
Speaker 8: down that at the one. It's a very low percentage

388
00:17:03,120 --> 00:17:04,840
Speaker 8: that offense is going to drive ninety nine yards.

389
00:17:04,880 --> 00:17:06,080
Speaker 1: As a matter of fact, you said it was the

390
00:17:06,119 --> 00:17:07,760
Speaker 1: biggest trade of real estate.

391
00:17:07,840 --> 00:17:10,120
Speaker 8: Exactly, it's the biggest trade of real estate in the game,

392
00:17:10,359 --> 00:17:12,960
Speaker 8: you know. So you get your pump blocked like I did,

393
00:17:13,280 --> 00:17:15,840
Speaker 8: think four times in college. They don't got to start

394
00:17:15,840 --> 00:17:17,399
Speaker 8: all the way down there no more, we're starting at

395
00:17:17,400 --> 00:17:19,240
Speaker 8: the twenty. We already in the rezon or we pick

396
00:17:19,280 --> 00:17:21,119
Speaker 8: it up and score not a special team's points. So

397
00:17:21,440 --> 00:17:23,400
Speaker 8: a lot of the times special teams the terms games.

398
00:17:23,840 --> 00:17:25,359
Speaker 6: I was gonna ask you about that because you know,

399
00:17:25,400 --> 00:17:28,000
Speaker 6: you look through your your highlights and your stats from college. Right,

400
00:17:28,040 --> 00:17:30,200
Speaker 6: two time all Big ten and you had eight picks

401
00:17:30,200 --> 00:17:31,920
Speaker 6: and you had to pick six. You had twenty two

402
00:17:31,960 --> 00:17:34,040
Speaker 6: passes defense in four years of Rutgers, but.

403
00:17:34,160 --> 00:17:35,399
Speaker 5: Four block punts?

404
00:17:35,560 --> 00:17:38,400
Speaker 6: Yeah, what was the secret sauce there? What was the

405
00:17:38,400 --> 00:17:39,600
Speaker 6: formula for you to do that?

406
00:17:39,680 --> 00:17:43,720
Speaker 8: Shiano my head coach, he'd a punt my college head coach.

407
00:17:43,720 --> 00:17:46,640
Speaker 8: He was a punt blocking guru. Even his first time

408
00:17:46,680 --> 00:17:48,560
Speaker 8: around that Rutgers he led the nation in block punts

409
00:17:48,560 --> 00:17:49,600
Speaker 8: with the McCartney twins.

410
00:17:49,920 --> 00:17:51,760
Speaker 7: And yeah, I was this guy.

411
00:17:51,800 --> 00:17:53,840
Speaker 8: I remember he didn't even look my way when it

412
00:17:53,920 --> 00:17:56,560
Speaker 8: was time to like punt block my freshman year, last

413
00:17:56,600 --> 00:17:59,560
Speaker 8: game of the year versus in Maryland. I'm like, coach,

414
00:17:59,680 --> 00:18:01,359
Speaker 8: let me just go blocking, Like, let me just go try.

415
00:18:01,440 --> 00:18:03,240
Speaker 8: You know what I'm saying. I got this close to it,

416
00:18:03,280 --> 00:18:06,280
Speaker 8: and I won't forget. He won't forget either, because I

417
00:18:06,320 --> 00:18:07,920
Speaker 8: was this guy from there. So the next year he

418
00:18:07,960 --> 00:18:09,600
Speaker 8: put me in. I was his main pump block guy.

419
00:18:10,000 --> 00:18:12,560
Speaker 8: I'm coming off the edge, I'm looping around in the middle,

420
00:18:12,840 --> 00:18:14,760
Speaker 8: I'm doing all types of stuff, all types of schemes,

421
00:18:14,760 --> 00:18:16,000
Speaker 8: and yeah, got four of them.

422
00:18:16,040 --> 00:18:17,120
Speaker 7: So it worked.

423
00:18:17,640 --> 00:18:20,680
Speaker 5: That moment when you're actually getting and blocking the punt.

424
00:18:20,600 --> 00:18:23,520
Speaker 8: That's just it's scary and he's exciting cause it's like,

425
00:18:23,520 --> 00:18:24,080
Speaker 8: am I about to.

426
00:18:24,040 --> 00:18:25,080
Speaker 7: Break my hand right now?

427
00:18:25,320 --> 00:18:26,520
Speaker 10: Or yeah?

428
00:18:27,600 --> 00:18:29,840
Speaker 8: But the key to it is not going in there fearless,

429
00:18:29,880 --> 00:18:31,280
Speaker 8: Like that's just like anything in football.

430
00:18:31,280 --> 00:18:32,880
Speaker 7: Though you play scared, you're gonna get hurt.

431
00:18:32,920 --> 00:18:36,520
Speaker 1: So Max, talk to us a little bit about your

432
00:18:36,720 --> 00:18:40,120
Speaker 1: high school experience once again, because this is really fascinating

433
00:18:40,160 --> 00:18:42,160
Speaker 1: to me. Tell us where did you go to high

434
00:18:42,160 --> 00:18:44,879
Speaker 1: school and give us a little bit of the background

435
00:18:44,920 --> 00:18:46,480
Speaker 1: the sports you played or didn't play.

436
00:18:46,600 --> 00:18:48,320
Speaker 8: Okay, bet, So I went to see the Creek High

437
00:18:48,320 --> 00:18:50,560
Speaker 8: School in Acover City, New Jersey. It's a small city

438
00:18:50,600 --> 00:18:55,840
Speaker 8: in South Jersey. Growing up, I played soccer, basketball, football,

439
00:18:55,880 --> 00:19:02,760
Speaker 8: and track. I thint, gotta tried baseball by it Like yeah,

440
00:19:02,800 --> 00:19:06,040
Speaker 8: So I wasn't even a dB at first. I was

441
00:19:06,119 --> 00:19:08,880
Speaker 8: predominantly wide receiver. My freshman year, I started at wide

442
00:19:08,920 --> 00:19:11,800
Speaker 8: receiver in high school. Sophomore year I got into defense

443
00:19:11,800 --> 00:19:14,520
Speaker 8: a little bit, played safety and wide receiver. Junior year

444
00:19:14,600 --> 00:19:18,040
Speaker 8: was my first year at corner. I played corner and

445
00:19:18,040 --> 00:19:20,560
Speaker 8: wide receiver, and then my senior year I played defensive

446
00:19:20,680 --> 00:19:23,600
Speaker 8: end like a like a Bond Miller or Hassan Reddick,

447
00:19:23,640 --> 00:19:25,280
Speaker 8: and I led the state and tackles for laws because

448
00:19:25,280 --> 00:19:27,560
Speaker 8: I just run around the line and and make them play.

449
00:19:27,960 --> 00:19:30,800
Speaker 8: But I haven't seriously played corner since junior year of

450
00:19:30,840 --> 00:19:33,120
Speaker 8: high school. So when I came to college, early enrolled,

451
00:19:33,520 --> 00:19:36,560
Speaker 8: and that's when COVID hit though, so everything was virtual.

452
00:19:37,200 --> 00:19:39,320
Speaker 8: I'm doing the I'm doing the technique in front of

453
00:19:39,359 --> 00:19:40,600
Speaker 8: my coach in zoom.

454
00:19:40,680 --> 00:19:41,320
Speaker 7: You know what I'm saying.

455
00:19:41,359 --> 00:19:43,719
Speaker 8: He's like, Nah, put your ben your needs more, do

456
00:19:43,800 --> 00:19:45,520
Speaker 8: this more, do that more off of zoom.

457
00:19:45,560 --> 00:19:46,080
Speaker 7: So I'm learning.

458
00:19:46,119 --> 00:19:48,359
Speaker 8: I'm learning how to play corner off of virtually you

459
00:19:48,400 --> 00:19:50,040
Speaker 8: know what I'm saying, and before you know it, you

460
00:19:50,080 --> 00:19:52,040
Speaker 8: open your eyes and you got the best receivers in

461
00:19:52,080 --> 00:19:52,800
Speaker 8: the Big ten in front of you.

462
00:19:52,760 --> 00:19:54,360
Speaker 7: You know what I'm saying. So it was a lot

463
00:19:54,359 --> 00:19:55,960
Speaker 7: of growing up fast for sure.

464
00:19:56,320 --> 00:20:00,000
Speaker 6: Yeah, speaking of here's Bruda Baker on Max Melton's development.

465
00:20:01,000 --> 00:20:03,520
Speaker 11: I've seen him grow a lot, the knowledge of the game.

466
00:20:03,960 --> 00:20:07,000
Speaker 11: Played man a lot in college. So just understanding the

467
00:20:07,040 --> 00:20:09,400
Speaker 11: different type of zones that you know, we play with

468
00:20:09,480 --> 00:20:12,320
Speaker 11: and I'm understanding man as well, different techniques he can do,

469
00:20:12,400 --> 00:20:15,800
Speaker 11: but also getting that football knowledge. He's done a great job.

470
00:20:15,880 --> 00:20:19,600
Speaker 11: He's asking questions in the meetings, you know, just getting better.

471
00:20:20,359 --> 00:20:22,600
Speaker 5: We had Rabbit on not too long ago. He said.

472
00:20:22,640 --> 00:20:24,760
Speaker 6: His strategy as a rookie has been to sit near

473
00:20:24,840 --> 00:20:27,840
Speaker 6: the front and just listen to Buddha Baker and Jalen

474
00:20:27,880 --> 00:20:29,200
Speaker 6: Thompson talk football.

475
00:20:29,840 --> 00:20:32,040
Speaker 5: How valuable is that two guys like that?

476
00:20:32,119 --> 00:20:35,080
Speaker 6: The knowledge, the expertise, the skill set, right, I mean,

477
00:20:35,320 --> 00:20:37,600
Speaker 6: how much have you gleaned and learned from those guys?

478
00:20:37,680 --> 00:20:39,160
Speaker 7: You see how they treat the game.

479
00:20:39,400 --> 00:20:41,600
Speaker 8: I'll say, how they treat the game is what sticks

480
00:20:41,600 --> 00:20:44,359
Speaker 8: out the most about them. Like they're always doing something extra,

481
00:20:44,760 --> 00:20:48,600
Speaker 8: and we me Rabbit, all the young dbs, Elijah jd

482
00:20:49,160 --> 00:20:51,440
Speaker 8: We try to follow in their footsteps because you see

483
00:20:51,440 --> 00:20:54,200
Speaker 8: the success Buddha had, you see the success Javin Thompson had,

484
00:20:54,560 --> 00:20:56,960
Speaker 8: so we want that same success, if not better. So

485
00:20:56,960 --> 00:20:59,439
Speaker 8: we're gonna do everything they're doing. So it's really just

486
00:20:59,520 --> 00:21:01,879
Speaker 8: that once you see it, like you know that's the

487
00:21:01,920 --> 00:21:03,320
Speaker 8: right thing to do, do it. You know what I'm saying,

488
00:21:03,320 --> 00:21:04,840
Speaker 8: It's gonna work out for you and you're gonna be

489
00:21:04,880 --> 00:21:05,720
Speaker 8: in the league a long time.

490
00:21:05,880 --> 00:21:08,520
Speaker 1: You know. Speaking of getting better, right now, where Max

491
00:21:08,560 --> 00:21:11,399
Speaker 1: Meltin do you want to get better? Where do you

492
00:21:11,440 --> 00:21:12,480
Speaker 1: think you need to improve?

493
00:21:13,560 --> 00:21:14,400
Speaker 7: I would say.

494
00:21:16,680 --> 00:21:18,800
Speaker 8: I got the language man covers that been the thing.

495
00:21:18,880 --> 00:21:21,560
Speaker 8: I'll just say zone that just knowing where you're at

496
00:21:21,600 --> 00:21:24,560
Speaker 8: on the field, playing in the zone room exactly exactly, No,

497
00:21:24,760 --> 00:21:27,400
Speaker 8: because like, ain't lie like. It was man in college,

498
00:21:27,440 --> 00:21:29,080
Speaker 8: it was man like. It ain't matter who we had

499
00:21:29,119 --> 00:21:31,040
Speaker 8: at Rutgers. We always took pride in our dbs and

500
00:21:31,160 --> 00:21:32,879
Speaker 8: like we're gonna go out here and play man like,

501
00:21:32,960 --> 00:21:35,000
Speaker 8: let the d line rush, let them do whatever, and

502
00:21:35,000 --> 00:21:36,920
Speaker 8: we always had success with it. Now you're in the

503
00:21:37,000 --> 00:21:38,880
Speaker 8: league and it's Uh, Now, it's a lot of zone

504
00:21:38,920 --> 00:21:41,879
Speaker 8: and stuff like that, and and you'll know your responsibility,

505
00:21:42,000 --> 00:21:44,159
Speaker 8: but where you're supposed to be on the field. And

506
00:21:44,200 --> 00:21:46,680
Speaker 8: remember I brung up up, brung up those inches and

507
00:21:47,040 --> 00:21:49,320
Speaker 8: yards and like, yeah, and zone is a lot of that.

508
00:21:49,359 --> 00:21:50,640
Speaker 8: You know what I'm saying, You're gonna miss a play

509
00:21:50,640 --> 00:21:53,000
Speaker 8: by this much just because you're on the wrong landmark

510
00:21:53,040 --> 00:21:54,840
Speaker 8: of the field when the ball snaps.

511
00:21:54,880 --> 00:21:58,920
Speaker 1: So much of that, too, is just experiencing combinations, right

512
00:21:59,000 --> 00:22:04,040
Speaker 1: exactly for zone rooms and different concepts, it's just experiencing

513
00:22:04,080 --> 00:22:06,960
Speaker 1: that and being able to anticipate that exactly.

514
00:22:06,960 --> 00:22:09,320
Speaker 8: Once that clicked, you can run with it, you know

515
00:22:09,320 --> 00:22:11,400
Speaker 8: what I'm saying. You can start baiting the quarterback. Now

516
00:22:11,440 --> 00:22:13,480
Speaker 8: this guy's like we said earlier, and now really get

517
00:22:13,480 --> 00:22:14,960
Speaker 8: comfortable and start making plays.

518
00:22:15,119 --> 00:22:16,840
Speaker 6: For those who don't know, when the Cardinals went to

519
00:22:16,880 --> 00:22:18,960
Speaker 6: Green Bay, not only did they play the Packers, but

520
00:22:19,040 --> 00:22:21,920
Speaker 6: Max was able to play against his older brother. Yeah,

521
00:22:22,080 --> 00:22:24,520
Speaker 6: bowl melting. That was a really tell us about that

522
00:22:24,560 --> 00:22:27,000
Speaker 6: experience in hindsight. Now, what what stands out the most

523
00:22:27,040 --> 00:22:27,960
Speaker 6: about Week six?

524
00:22:29,280 --> 00:22:33,880
Speaker 7: Oh, Stanley, let's sit out the most. It was cool,

525
00:22:35,440 --> 00:22:36,040
Speaker 7: it was cold.

526
00:22:37,880 --> 00:22:39,920
Speaker 5: Yeah, that's what stands out to yea cold rain.

527
00:22:40,040 --> 00:22:43,680
Speaker 6: But did you have flashbacks to practice the Rutgers when

528
00:22:43,680 --> 00:22:45,679
Speaker 6: the two of you guys were going at it and

529
00:22:45,720 --> 00:22:46,640
Speaker 6: making each other better.

530
00:22:46,800 --> 00:22:49,000
Speaker 8: Yeah, And I'm just like, dang, I'm still wearing red

531
00:22:49,080 --> 00:22:51,040
Speaker 8: and he wearing green and yellow. Like I was really

532
00:22:51,040 --> 00:22:52,879
Speaker 8: the first thing because I lined up and I'm just

533
00:22:52,920 --> 00:22:58,760
Speaker 8: like ugly, I'm nah, nah, It's a blessing. It's really

534
00:22:58,840 --> 00:23:02,040
Speaker 8: a blessing because we grew up really playing wide receiver together.

535
00:23:02,160 --> 00:23:03,760
Speaker 8: But once I got to college, me and went to

536
00:23:03,800 --> 00:23:06,120
Speaker 8: the same college as well, I was going out at dB.

537
00:23:06,200 --> 00:23:07,800
Speaker 7: He had wide receiver. We going do every day.

538
00:23:08,119 --> 00:23:09,480
Speaker 8: And for him to make it to the league, me

539
00:23:09,520 --> 00:23:10,879
Speaker 8: make it to the league and I get to guard

540
00:23:10,960 --> 00:23:12,160
Speaker 8: him in the game like that.

541
00:23:11,960 --> 00:23:12,560
Speaker 7: That's crazy.

542
00:23:12,640 --> 00:23:14,439
Speaker 8: It was really like I had to pause for a

543
00:23:14,440 --> 00:23:15,919
Speaker 8: second when I got out there and just take it in.

544
00:23:16,520 --> 00:23:19,920
Speaker 1: So Max, why are you such a good tackler? You're

545
00:23:20,000 --> 00:23:24,600
Speaker 1: such a good tackler for a corner? Why are you true?

546
00:23:24,680 --> 00:23:26,800
Speaker 8: I tackled my whole life like that was just a thing,

547
00:23:26,880 --> 00:23:28,760
Speaker 8: like we're not gonna be afraid of nothing. We're gonna

548
00:23:28,760 --> 00:23:31,480
Speaker 8: stick our nose in there, and uh yeah, we're gonna tackle.

549
00:23:31,520 --> 00:23:34,480
Speaker 8: And my high school coach was a defensive guy. We

550
00:23:34,520 --> 00:23:37,280
Speaker 8: had a whole tackling system. Guy even crazy when I

551
00:23:37,320 --> 00:23:39,479
Speaker 8: got to Rutgers, you know, he not going for that, so,

552
00:23:39,560 --> 00:23:41,640
Speaker 8: oh yeah, be tackling over there. We got a whole

553
00:23:41,640 --> 00:23:44,919
Speaker 8: tackling system for whatever your position you're in to make

554
00:23:44,960 --> 00:23:48,160
Speaker 8: the tackle like gator roll, sweep the ankle, bite the ball.

555
00:23:48,240 --> 00:23:49,680
Speaker 8: I could still spit it to you, just like that's

556
00:23:49,680 --> 00:23:54,280
Speaker 8: my college stuff. But yeah, so tackling was always a

557
00:23:55,560 --> 00:23:58,240
Speaker 8: It was always taken seriously at the corner spot because.

558
00:23:58,000 --> 00:23:59,359
Speaker 7: That's one thing offense is gonna do.

559
00:23:59,480 --> 00:24:02,080
Speaker 8: They're gonna run the ball off the edge and block

560
00:24:02,320 --> 00:24:03,800
Speaker 8: everybody but the corner.

561
00:24:04,040 --> 00:24:06,040
Speaker 7: And it's a one on one tackle with you and

562
00:24:06,080 --> 00:24:06,719
Speaker 7: Derek Henry.

563
00:24:07,040 --> 00:24:10,120
Speaker 1: So see, I see that there's a mentality with you.

564
00:24:10,400 --> 00:24:13,720
Speaker 1: That is a mentality with you because there are corners

565
00:24:13,720 --> 00:24:17,160
Speaker 1: in the National Football League don't really enjoy tackling. Yeah,

566
00:24:17,560 --> 00:24:22,119
Speaker 1: Ron hopefully report it, don't really enjoy tod We're not

567
00:24:22,200 --> 00:24:22,920
Speaker 1: one of those guys.

568
00:24:23,000 --> 00:24:24,560
Speaker 7: Yeah, I got to stick in those and there.

569
00:24:24,600 --> 00:24:26,840
Speaker 6: It's amazing how many corners never get off the block.

570
00:24:27,040 --> 00:24:29,440
Speaker 6: You know, they're just not really battling to get off

571
00:24:29,440 --> 00:24:32,040
Speaker 6: the block. And all right, tackling. That brings us full

572
00:24:32,080 --> 00:24:34,440
Speaker 6: circle to your head coach, Jonathan Gannon. He was asked

573
00:24:34,480 --> 00:24:36,919
Speaker 6: how you have progressed this season, Max Melton.

574
00:24:37,480 --> 00:24:39,159
Speaker 12: I mean, he just needs to play football, you know

575
00:24:39,160 --> 00:24:41,879
Speaker 12: what I mean, and make mistakes and make plays and

576
00:24:42,080 --> 00:24:44,760
Speaker 12: execute and lose at the point of attack, win at

577
00:24:44,760 --> 00:24:47,200
Speaker 12: the point of attack. They're all learning experiences for him.

578
00:24:47,240 --> 00:24:51,160
Speaker 12: So I like what he's doing fundamentally in space. He's

579
00:24:51,200 --> 00:24:54,840
Speaker 12: got better spatial recognition right now, what he's doing with

580
00:24:54,880 --> 00:24:58,159
Speaker 12: his body where he needs to be. He's not making

581
00:24:58,240 --> 00:25:00,560
Speaker 12: mistakes he was earlier in the year, just from an

582
00:25:00,600 --> 00:25:05,000
Speaker 12: eye discipline to an alignment standpoint. He's taking a coach

583
00:25:05,040 --> 00:25:05,840
Speaker 12: and he's running with it.

584
00:25:06,440 --> 00:25:09,840
Speaker 6: Because athleticism has never been a question, I mean, wolf

585
00:25:09,880 --> 00:25:12,680
Speaker 6: a reminder for those you know where we realized right

586
00:25:12,680 --> 00:25:15,400
Speaker 6: after Max was drafted forty third overall, he had the

587
00:25:15,440 --> 00:25:19,119
Speaker 6: third highest athleticism score among all the corners. Ran a

588
00:25:19,160 --> 00:25:22,520
Speaker 6: four to three nine forty over forty inches on the vertical.

589
00:25:22,359 --> 00:25:24,560
Speaker 1: And was angry with a four pretty nine. Were you not?

590
00:25:26,560 --> 00:25:30,840
Speaker 6: Yeah, let me ask you this as I mean, in

591
00:25:30,920 --> 00:25:36,280
Speaker 6: terms of your confidence level competing athletically against NFL receivers,

592
00:25:36,280 --> 00:25:37,400
Speaker 6: where's that at right now.

593
00:25:37,800 --> 00:25:41,080
Speaker 8: Oh, it's all the way up. It's all the way up.

594
00:25:41,520 --> 00:25:44,000
Speaker 8: It's no thiss to NFL receivers or anything like that.

595
00:25:44,040 --> 00:25:46,159
Speaker 8: But you really watch them on TV growing up.

596
00:25:46,320 --> 00:25:48,160
Speaker 7: Like, oh my gosh, like that was crazy.

597
00:25:48,200 --> 00:25:51,560
Speaker 8: He just did sound crazy and preparing through it and

598
00:25:51,600 --> 00:25:53,920
Speaker 8: it just doesn't happen. You prepare through it throughout the week,

599
00:25:54,119 --> 00:25:55,480
Speaker 8: but you get in front of him out there and

600
00:25:55,520 --> 00:25:57,800
Speaker 8: it's just like they're running the route, and it was like,

601
00:25:58,200 --> 00:26:00,040
Speaker 8: that's what I've seen growing up, Like I could do it,

602
00:26:00,080 --> 00:26:01,639
Speaker 8: Like I could guard these guys like it's nothing.

603
00:26:01,800 --> 00:26:03,000
Speaker 5: I'm the sideline reporter.

604
00:26:03,119 --> 00:26:07,000
Speaker 6: I see Tyreek Hill and and I'm almost apoplectic. I mean,

605
00:26:07,040 --> 00:26:09,280
Speaker 6: you know, isn't that really You get out there, Tyreek Hill,

606
00:26:09,320 --> 00:26:11,520
Speaker 6: that must have been a moment because he's considered the

607
00:26:11,520 --> 00:26:12,280
Speaker 6: fastest student.

608
00:26:12,119 --> 00:26:12,480
Speaker 1: In the league.

609
00:26:12,520 --> 00:26:14,120
Speaker 8: Yeah, he was the number one player in the league

610
00:26:14,359 --> 00:26:16,600
Speaker 8: last year. I believe he got right number one. But

611
00:26:17,480 --> 00:26:19,400
Speaker 8: now you really get out there and it's like, okay,

612
00:26:19,440 --> 00:26:22,280
Speaker 8: and some guys is like the size different, like Tyreek

613
00:26:22,400 --> 00:26:24,240
Speaker 8: like really like right here, you know what I'm saying.

614
00:26:24,240 --> 00:26:26,760
Speaker 7: And then you got guys like Keenan Allen six two

615
00:26:26,800 --> 00:26:29,560
Speaker 7: sixty three. But he moves like he's six foot and

616
00:26:30,160 --> 00:26:32,680
Speaker 7: weighs one hundred pounds. You know what I'm saying. So like, yeah,

617
00:26:32,760 --> 00:26:33,880
Speaker 7: it's it's different out there.

618
00:26:33,920 --> 00:26:36,480
Speaker 1: For give me one guy one name that you went, wow,

619
00:26:36,920 --> 00:26:39,679
Speaker 1: that's so and so give me one name that you

620
00:26:39,800 --> 00:26:43,000
Speaker 1: just were like, oh my goodness.

621
00:26:42,359 --> 00:26:44,920
Speaker 7: He's talking about starstr Yeah, man, I'm talking about.

622
00:26:47,600 --> 00:26:47,639
Speaker 13: No.

623
00:26:48,720 --> 00:26:50,440
Speaker 7: No, Aaron Rodgers.

657
00:28:38,200 --> 00:28:41,280
Speaker 6: and guess what, he ran into that darkness at least

658
00:28:41,280 --> 00:28:44,480
Speaker 6: eighteen times in this last game, a career high eighteen

659
00:28:44,520 --> 00:28:48,440
Speaker 6: tackles for Buddha Baker, whow against his hometown team, the

663
00:28:56,880 --> 00:28:59,360
Speaker 6: on Queen Creek Road between Price and Dobson. Your reaction

664
00:28:59,440 --> 00:29:02,520
Speaker 6: when you see the box score and there's eighteen tackles

665
00:29:02,560 --> 00:29:03,960
Speaker 6: next to Buddha Baker's.

666
00:29:03,640 --> 00:29:08,280
Speaker 8: Name, that's that's that's Buddha, Like that's really Buddha, Like

667
00:29:07,640 --> 00:29:10,680
Speaker 8: like like Roy Lopez said, he could have had forty

668
00:29:10,720 --> 00:29:12,960
Speaker 8: if you wanted to, Like Buddha's really that type of guy.

669
00:29:13,000 --> 00:29:15,760
Speaker 8: And yeah, he been in the league forever. And my

670
00:29:15,840 --> 00:29:17,800
Speaker 8: lockers right next to his. So when I say this,

671
00:29:18,840 --> 00:29:23,520
Speaker 8: he's so young, like his energy just being around him,

672
00:29:23,640 --> 00:29:26,160
Speaker 8: like he's so young, and he has a lot, a lot,

673
00:29:26,200 --> 00:29:26,600
Speaker 8: a lot a.

674
00:29:26,600 --> 00:29:29,120
Speaker 7: Lot of more football left in them.

675
00:29:29,120 --> 00:29:30,920
Speaker 8: And it's crazy because I just asked him his age

676
00:29:30,960 --> 00:29:33,479
Speaker 8: and I think he said he's twenty eight, correct, Like

677
00:29:33,760 --> 00:29:36,280
Speaker 8: he don't, bro he's my age for real. Like his

678
00:29:36,480 --> 00:29:38,560
Speaker 8: energy and what he can bring to the game, and

679
00:29:38,800 --> 00:29:41,600
Speaker 8: I even eighteen tackles, that's crazy. But he has a

680
00:29:41,600 --> 00:29:43,280
Speaker 8: lot of years of football left in him for sure.

681
00:29:43,440 --> 00:29:44,800
Speaker 8: He's He's a very energetic guy.

682
00:29:44,880 --> 00:29:47,200
Speaker 1: For me, Max the most part, every time I watch

683
00:29:47,240 --> 00:29:50,640
Speaker 1: Buddha Baker play the game of football, it challenges me.

684
00:29:51,280 --> 00:29:53,800
Speaker 1: I think. Fact, I think back when I was that

685
00:29:53,960 --> 00:29:56,760
Speaker 1: age playing in the National Football League, Man, did you

686
00:29:56,880 --> 00:29:59,640
Speaker 1: try as hard as Buddha Baker. I think he has

687
00:29:59,720 --> 00:30:02,280
Speaker 1: that impact on everybody that is on the field. I

688
00:30:02,320 --> 00:30:04,040
Speaker 1: talk about it all the time to a lot of

689
00:30:04,080 --> 00:30:06,640
Speaker 1: guys that come on here with the big red rage,

690
00:30:06,720 --> 00:30:09,000
Speaker 1: but it's so important. This is a guy who sets

691
00:30:09,040 --> 00:30:12,800
Speaker 1: the example for you and everybody else that's out there

692
00:30:12,840 --> 00:30:15,160
Speaker 1: on the field competing, Isn't it exactly?

693
00:30:15,200 --> 00:30:16,840
Speaker 8: And I don't take it for granted at all that

694
00:30:16,880 --> 00:30:19,200
Speaker 8: I'm in the same room as him, because it's like

695
00:30:19,280 --> 00:30:22,000
Speaker 8: he really sets an example every single day. And when

696
00:30:22,000 --> 00:30:24,280
Speaker 8: he calls it up on the field right after our

697
00:30:24,280 --> 00:30:27,000
Speaker 8: individual practice and we go to team practice, he lets

698
00:30:27,080 --> 00:30:28,680
Speaker 8: us know what the vibe is every day and just

699
00:30:28,720 --> 00:30:30,880
Speaker 8: go out there and compete, try your best, because you

700
00:30:30,960 --> 00:30:34,160
Speaker 8: are the best. I remember when the beginning of the year,

701
00:30:34,280 --> 00:30:36,680
Speaker 8: you know what I'm saying, When I was out there competing,

702
00:30:36,800 --> 00:30:39,400
Speaker 8: He's like, yo, like you are the best, And I

703
00:30:39,440 --> 00:30:41,520
Speaker 8: took it in one day, I was like, all right,

704
00:30:41,560 --> 00:30:43,479
Speaker 8: I'm about to play like it, and I play like it,

705
00:30:43,520 --> 00:30:46,480
Speaker 8: and I've been progressing and progressing, y'all saying, So it's

706
00:30:46,520 --> 00:30:50,080
Speaker 8: just him having he challenged you exactly like that. It's

707
00:30:50,320 --> 00:30:52,400
Speaker 8: straight like that, and I took it and I ran

708
00:30:52,480 --> 00:30:53,880
Speaker 8: with it. I'm like, yo, I am the best. I

709
00:30:53,920 --> 00:30:55,120
Speaker 8: know what I can do out here, so let me

710
00:30:55,160 --> 00:30:56,920
Speaker 8: go do it. You know what I'm saying. So, Nah,

711
00:30:56,960 --> 00:30:59,640
Speaker 8: props the Buddha for that. Like he's a very energetic,

712
00:31:00,160 --> 00:31:01,040
Speaker 8: young soul guide.

713
00:31:01,320 --> 00:31:04,360
Speaker 1: See that that is leadership right there. Yeah, that's exactly

714
00:31:04,400 --> 00:31:08,120
Speaker 1: what that is, not only demonstrating it based on how

715
00:31:08,200 --> 00:31:10,280
Speaker 1: you go out and play, but also what you're doing,

716
00:31:10,320 --> 00:31:14,840
Speaker 1: the interaction with your teammates that is that is invaluable.

717
00:31:15,800 --> 00:31:18,640
Speaker 6: Sam and Collins said the other day that Buddha Baker

718
00:31:18,640 --> 00:31:22,160
Speaker 6: holds everyone accountable and sometimes it's not always in the

719
00:31:22,160 --> 00:31:22,920
Speaker 6: friendliest way.

720
00:31:23,120 --> 00:31:24,480
Speaker 7: Yeah yeah, yeah, and.

721
00:31:24,400 --> 00:31:27,040
Speaker 5: He'll do it right on the spot, yeah, on the field,

722
00:31:27,080 --> 00:31:27,800
Speaker 5: in the meeting room.

723
00:31:27,920 --> 00:31:30,200
Speaker 7: Huh Okay, that's how Buddha it is. But like you

724
00:31:30,240 --> 00:31:30,680
Speaker 7: gotta know.

725
00:31:30,680 --> 00:31:33,840
Speaker 8: That, like coming into the league, like you're held accountable

726
00:31:33,920 --> 00:31:37,240
Speaker 8: every single day, every move you make, everything you put

727
00:31:37,280 --> 00:31:39,640
Speaker 8: in your body, like you're held accountable for it.

728
00:31:39,800 --> 00:31:41,200
Speaker 7: So he always to accountable right there.

729
00:31:41,240 --> 00:31:43,719
Speaker 8: I remember we had a backer that didn't hit a

730
00:31:43,720 --> 00:31:47,440
Speaker 8: certain drop in our own covers, and it seemed like

731
00:31:47,520 --> 00:31:50,000
Speaker 8: it was Buddha's fault because the ball was caught around Buddha.

732
00:31:50,040 --> 00:31:51,320
Speaker 8: But it wasn't his fault at all. It was like

733
00:31:51,360 --> 00:31:53,360
Speaker 8: one of those covers I can't eplain to see, but

734
00:31:54,880 --> 00:31:56,880
Speaker 8: he pulled He pulled the young end right to the side,

735
00:31:57,000 --> 00:31:59,520
Speaker 8: like nah, after practice, he hadn't work to drop like

736
00:31:59,600 --> 00:32:01,120
Speaker 8: ten times like stuff like that.

737
00:32:01,160 --> 00:32:03,120
Speaker 7: You know what I'm saying. That's just one example. But

738
00:32:03,520 --> 00:32:05,080
Speaker 7: now he's he's a true born leader.

739
00:32:05,480 --> 00:32:09,960
Speaker 6: Here's Jonathan Gannon on Buddha Baker having again eighteen tackles.

740
00:32:10,960 --> 00:32:15,240
Speaker 12: Yeah, that's a lot. He played well, He played well.

741
00:32:15,280 --> 00:32:19,440
Speaker 12: He's a he's a competitor, altimate competitor, and you know

742
00:32:19,520 --> 00:32:22,400
Speaker 12: he's when he's out there, he's playing football, you know

743
00:32:22,440 --> 00:32:24,960
Speaker 12: what I mean. So that just shows you the type

744
00:32:24,960 --> 00:32:26,479
Speaker 12: of person competitor that he is.

745
00:32:26,600 --> 00:32:30,280
Speaker 6: So we host Jonathan Gannon's weekly TV show Game Plan. Well,

746
00:32:30,280 --> 00:32:32,680
Speaker 6: if you should ask Max the question that you asked

747
00:32:32,760 --> 00:32:35,200
Speaker 6: Jonathan Gannon about Buddha Baker.

748
00:32:35,840 --> 00:32:36,640
Speaker 5: Remember the question.

749
00:32:36,760 --> 00:32:38,720
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, oh yeah. As a matter of fact, that

750
00:32:38,760 --> 00:32:43,600
Speaker 1: Buddha baker. I asked JG. Jonathan Gannon of course, whether

751
00:32:43,760 --> 00:32:48,000
Speaker 1: the way he plays was something that was learned or

752
00:32:48,160 --> 00:32:51,880
Speaker 1: is it something that is innate? Which one is it?

753
00:32:51,920 --> 00:32:54,760
Speaker 1: Is it learned, is it coached? Or is it innate

754
00:32:55,200 --> 00:32:57,600
Speaker 1: inside of you to go out and play the way

755
00:32:57,640 --> 00:32:58,240
Speaker 1: that he does?

756
00:32:59,640 --> 00:33:02,400
Speaker 8: Oh? Ball of the above, Because let me tell you,

757
00:33:02,720 --> 00:33:04,840
Speaker 8: some people just have it in them to want to

758
00:33:04,920 --> 00:33:07,040
Speaker 8: go out, put football pads on and run through a

759
00:33:07,040 --> 00:33:10,640
Speaker 8: brick wall time after time. Some people don't, and it's taught,

760
00:33:11,000 --> 00:33:13,280
Speaker 8: you know what I'm saying. So it's really Buddha just

761
00:33:13,280 --> 00:33:18,120
Speaker 8: has it in them he's talking about. Yeah, I'm not

762
00:33:18,120 --> 00:33:20,280
Speaker 8: gonna lie Buddha. He didn't have to play football his

763
00:33:20,320 --> 00:33:23,360
Speaker 8: whole life the first time he put on pass run

764
00:33:23,400 --> 00:33:25,719
Speaker 8: through somebody like Buddha just has it in them. But

765
00:33:26,040 --> 00:33:29,680
Speaker 8: when it comes to just in general, it's all the above.

766
00:33:29,720 --> 00:33:31,560
Speaker 8: It can be, it can be taught. Just when we

767
00:33:31,640 --> 00:33:32,600
Speaker 8: go back to motor.

768
00:33:32,600 --> 00:33:33,160
Speaker 7: I like that.

769
00:33:33,600 --> 00:33:36,520
Speaker 1: Yeah, in general, but when you're talking about Buddha.

770
00:33:38,160 --> 00:33:41,200
Speaker 6: Well, what's interesting too, is Elijah Jones your your fellow

771
00:33:41,240 --> 00:33:43,760
Speaker 6: rookie right round three rookie corner. I remember him saying

772
00:33:43,760 --> 00:33:46,080
Speaker 6: that this was in the all scenes saying his welcome

773
00:33:46,080 --> 00:33:48,280
Speaker 6: to the NFL moment was he's on the field, he's

774
00:33:48,320 --> 00:33:49,800
Speaker 6: making a call and he turns around to bark it

775
00:33:49,840 --> 00:33:51,080
Speaker 6: out and Buddha bankers behind him.

776
00:33:51,360 --> 00:33:52,960
Speaker 7: Yeah, exactly, exactly.

777
00:33:53,360 --> 00:33:55,600
Speaker 8: A lot of that's gonna hit you fast, too, Like

778
00:33:56,040 --> 00:33:58,240
Speaker 8: when you get drafted, it's like, Okay, yeah, I'm going

00:33:58,280 --> 00:33:59,760
Speaker 8: to this team, but like, yo.

780

Speaker 7: Who's on on that team?

781
00:34:00,800 --> 00:34:02,120
Speaker 8: Like all right, bet, you get off the plane, walk

Speaker 8: like like real, real, real, like big contract.

786
00:34:13,400 --> 00:34:14,200
Speaker 7: People on this team.

Speaker 8: You know what I'm saying. And then you go out

788
00:34:15,400 --> 00:34:17,200
Speaker 8: in competition. And then you go out there and just

789
00:34:17,280 --> 00:34:19,439

795
00:34:31,840 --> 00:34:32,520
Speaker 7: Yeah, you know what I'm saying.

796
00:34:32,600 --> 00:34:35,200
Speaker 8: So it's yeah, you're gonna meet a lot of people,

797
00:34:35,320 --> 00:34:37,600
Speaker 8: and uh yeah, it's it's all of us.

798
00:34:37,800 --> 00:34:39,600
Speaker 6: By the way, in Miami, did you see six ft

799
00:34:39,600 --> 00:34:42,400
Speaker 6: eight Class Campbell Because he hosted this show for a

800
00:34:42,400 --> 00:34:44,680
Speaker 6: good four or five years when he was a card.

801
00:34:44,880 --> 00:34:46,640
Speaker 6: He sat up right here on this stage for four

802
00:34:46,719 --> 00:34:49,160
Speaker 6: or five years. All right, speaking to rookies. Drake May

803
00:34:49,239 --> 00:34:51,759
Speaker 6: is the new England Patriots starting quarterback. Right, did you

804
00:34:51,800 --> 00:34:54,760
Speaker 6: come across Drake May in the whole draft process at all?

805
00:34:54,880 --> 00:34:59,680
Speaker 7: Or I mean in the elevator of the combine.

806
00:35:00,200 --> 00:35:03,040
Speaker 8: In the elevator to combine, he comes in, he got

807
00:35:03,040 --> 00:35:05,399
Speaker 8: his headphones on, he's all ju sedup. It's like four

808
00:35:05,440 --> 00:35:08,000
Speaker 8: of us in there, and everybody's mad bab I'm in

809
00:35:08,000 --> 00:35:09,280
Speaker 8: there with like three d linemen.

810
00:35:09,520 --> 00:35:13,000
Speaker 7: And then so it was really follows. But like he's

811
00:35:13,040 --> 00:35:15,120
Speaker 7: just like pumped up. He's like, yo, what's up?

812
00:35:15,160 --> 00:35:17,000
Speaker 8: Guys, Like we don't even know him, Like you know

813
00:35:17,040 --> 00:35:19,319
Speaker 8: what I'm saying, but he's just like pumped up, and

814
00:35:19,360 --> 00:35:20,960
Speaker 8: he was ready for the combine. But now he a

815
00:35:20,960 --> 00:35:23,320
Speaker 8: good guy, you could tell. But yeah, yeah, that was

816
00:35:23,320 --> 00:35:24,239
Speaker 8: the only interaction I have.

817
00:35:24,880 --> 00:35:27,319
Speaker 6: Well, here's your defensive coordinator, Nick Ross, now that you

818
00:35:27,360 --> 00:35:29,360
Speaker 6: have to defend Drake May on Sunday.

819
00:35:30,080 --> 00:35:31,439
Speaker 5: He can beach in a lot of different ways.

820
00:35:31,480 --> 00:35:34,080
Speaker 15: I think the thing that's really standing out is he's

821
00:35:34,080 --> 00:35:36,319
Speaker 15: got arm tailing and you know he can put it

822
00:35:36,360 --> 00:35:39,439
Speaker 15: in precise locations. But then also when it's not there,

823
00:35:40,000 --> 00:35:42,120
Speaker 15: dangerous with his legs, you know, really good when he's

824
00:35:42,120 --> 00:35:45,480
Speaker 15: moving out of the pocket. So these quarterbacks these days, man,

825
00:35:45,480 --> 00:35:49,080
Speaker 15: they're all so dynamic. You know, you gotta account for

826
00:35:49,480 --> 00:35:51,200
Speaker 15: the arm tailent and the legs.

827
00:35:51,200 --> 00:35:52,240
Speaker 7: So really good player.

828
00:35:52,719 --> 00:35:54,399
Speaker 6: I'm guessing there's gonna be a moment or two where

829
00:35:54,400 --> 00:35:57,200
Speaker 6: you're gonna be attempting to tackle on Drake May. He

830
00:35:57,239 --> 00:35:58,719
Speaker 6: does not hesitate to run it, does it?

831
00:35:58,840 --> 00:36:01,000
Speaker 7: He doesn't. He does not. I think he ran a

832
00:36:01,360 --> 00:36:04,239
Speaker 7: four to eight at the combine. Four six or four

833
00:36:04,280 --> 00:36:04,960
Speaker 7: eight is one.

834
00:36:04,800 --> 00:36:08,040
Speaker 8: Of those and that some people say that's not generally fast,

835
00:36:08,040 --> 00:36:10,400
Speaker 8: but on film, like he's a lot faster than what

836
00:36:10,480 --> 00:36:12,640
Speaker 8: he ran, So we have to take that into account.

837
00:36:12,640 --> 00:36:14,920
Speaker 8: Like he's not gonna sit in the pocket when nothing's there,

838
00:36:15,040 --> 00:36:16,440
Speaker 8: just take the sack or throw it away, Like no

839
00:36:16,480 --> 00:36:18,080
Speaker 8: he's gonna try to get out with his feet.

840
00:36:18,280 --> 00:36:21,240
Speaker 1: So the Patriots, of course number thirteen in rushing yards

841
00:36:21,239 --> 00:36:24,879
Speaker 1: per game, number nine in rushing yards per play. They

842
00:36:24,920 --> 00:36:28,200
Speaker 1: can run the football, There's no doubt about it. Remindre

843
00:36:28,360 --> 00:36:31,680
Speaker 1: Stevenson talk about this guy what you've seen on tape.

844
00:36:31,719 --> 00:36:33,520
Speaker 1: That guy is a tough tackle.

845
00:36:33,200 --> 00:36:33,640
Speaker 7: Big guy.

846
00:36:33,760 --> 00:36:36,200
Speaker 8: Yeah, yeah, two twenty five I believe, and uh yeah,

847
00:36:36,239 --> 00:36:37,480
Speaker 8: he's a downhill runner.

848
00:36:37,200 --> 00:36:37,680
Speaker 7: You know what I'm saying.

849
00:36:37,719 --> 00:36:39,319
Speaker 8: So when the play comes my way, like that player,

850
00:36:39,320 --> 00:36:41,680
Speaker 8: I explained to y'all before, they're gonna block everybody and

851
00:36:41,760 --> 00:36:43,399
Speaker 8: leave the corner and the running back one on one.

852
00:36:43,640 --> 00:36:45,200
Speaker 8: I'm gonna make that play, you know what I'm saying.

853
00:36:45,239 --> 00:36:47,719
Speaker 8: So it's really just everybody doing their job. And when

854
00:36:47,719 --> 00:36:49,279
Speaker 8: the play comes to you and he comes to you,

855
00:36:49,600 --> 00:36:51,680
Speaker 8: use that tackling system that I also talked about before

856
00:36:51,680 --> 00:36:53,399
Speaker 8: and get him down. We got to kill the motor,

857
00:36:53,440 --> 00:36:54,560
Speaker 8: kill the legs, you know what I'm saying. But if

858
00:36:54,600 --> 00:36:58,120
Speaker 8: you stick them, stick them. But yeah, nah, kill an engine.

859
00:36:58,120 --> 00:37:00,520
Speaker 8: If you make that play. Like in the first court, early,

860
00:37:00,560 --> 00:37:01,840
Speaker 8: do they stop going at you?

861
00:37:02,040 --> 00:37:04,160
Speaker 6: Are there times where they'll make the adjustment, Like do

862
00:37:04,200 --> 00:37:05,600
Speaker 6: you have to prove yourself early.

863
00:37:05,880 --> 00:37:07,880
Speaker 8: Especially, Yeah, a lot of times is like that, whatever

864
00:37:08,400 --> 00:37:10,680
Speaker 8: weakness you show, they're gonna come back to that at

865
00:37:10,719 --> 00:37:12,480
Speaker 8: some point in the game. You know what I'm saying,

866
00:37:12,480 --> 00:37:14,520
Speaker 8: they gonna come back to it. So definitely gotta meet

867
00:37:14,560 --> 00:37:16,480
Speaker 8: that tackle because I ain chine tackle that much.

868
00:37:17,120 --> 00:37:18,919
Speaker 6: Well, I want to get into a little bit about

869

870
00:37:22,120 --> 00:37:25,319
Speaker 6: what separates some of those guys you've gone against, and

871
00:37:25,680 --> 00:37:28,040
Speaker 6: maybe what the Cardinals can do against a rookie. You know,

872
00:37:28,080 --> 00:37:30,160
Speaker 6: he has eight starts under his belt. Well, we'll get

873
00:37:30,160 --> 00:37:32,440

00:38:15,320 --> 00:38:16,240
Speaker 5: The game at twenty.

890
00:38:17,040 --> 00:38:20,600
Speaker 4: You'll line him up in the slot and throw the fade.

891
00:38:21,200 --> 00:38:26,000
Speaker 4: Larry touches the ball as he's going down and somehow

892
00:38:26,680 --> 00:38:30,920
Speaker 4: pended to his helmet. What a catch by Larry.

893
00:38:32,320 --> 00:38:37,680
Speaker 3: Should we expect anything else? A historic moment and a

894
00:38:37,760 --> 00:38:41,000
Speaker 3: ridiculous catch for the future Hall of Famer.

895
00:38:41,960 --> 00:38:46,840
Speaker 6: Great call, even better catch Larry Fitzgerald doing fits things.

896
00:38:46,920 --> 00:38:51,040
Speaker 6: Just ridiculous. Hall of Fame first ballot, you can book it.

897
00:38:51,120 --> 00:38:55,320
Speaker 6: That was against New England twoy sixteen. Max Melman is

898
00:38:55,360 --> 00:38:58,640
Speaker 6: our guest second round rookie corner. So the question to you, Max,

899
00:38:58,680 --> 00:39:01,040
Speaker 6: he came into the league, was there a particular receiver?

900
00:39:01,520 --> 00:39:03,800
Speaker 6: And I out of line to ask, can your name names?

901
00:39:03,880 --> 00:39:04,680
Speaker 7: Was there somebody?

902
00:39:05,000 --> 00:39:05,200
Speaker 6: Man?

903
00:39:05,320 --> 00:39:06,919
Speaker 5: I'd love to go against that guy.

904
00:39:06,920 --> 00:39:11,000
Speaker 6: I'd love to test my metal against that particular NFL receiver.

905
00:39:11,800 --> 00:39:20,040
Speaker 8: Justin Jefferson, Tyreek Hill, Keenan Allen already guarded Garrett in college.

906
00:39:20,360 --> 00:39:21,120
Speaker 7: I'll say those.

907
00:39:20,920 --> 00:39:22,640
Speaker 1: Three that's pretty good right there.

908
00:39:23,600 --> 00:39:26,520
Speaker 5: How often do you go against Marvin Harrison Junior? In practice?

909
00:39:27,239 --> 00:39:29,120
Speaker 7: In camp, it was a lot. But now that the

910
00:39:29,160 --> 00:39:30,359
Speaker 7: season's going, not so much.

911
00:39:30,400 --> 00:39:32,480
Speaker 8: You know, we preparing for the other team, so we

912
00:39:32,560 --> 00:39:35,239
Speaker 8: have scout team and players to mimic the other team.

913
00:39:35,320 --> 00:39:37,600
Speaker 8: So I don't go against them that much anymore. But

914
00:39:37,600 --> 00:39:39,279
Speaker 8: when we still we still go going good on good

915
00:39:39,320 --> 00:39:41,440
Speaker 8: once in a while, so he'll be one versus ones

916
00:39:41,480 --> 00:39:43,560
Speaker 8: and we'll I'll go against them, but uh, not as

917
00:39:43,640 --> 00:39:45,240
Speaker 8: much as camp, but a handful.

918
00:39:45,520 --> 00:39:48,080
Speaker 1: So I asked you this back in August. I'm very

919
00:39:48,120 --> 00:39:52,440
Speaker 1: interested to see your answer. Now, what technique do you

920
00:39:52,560 --> 00:39:56,600
Speaker 1: like to play the most? What technique in terms of man, pressman,

921
00:39:57,280 --> 00:40:02,200
Speaker 1: man off zone, room, technique do you like to employ

922
00:40:02,480 --> 00:40:02,960
Speaker 1: the most?

923
00:40:03,160 --> 00:40:05,359
Speaker 8: Now this would be good because I don't even remember

924
00:40:05,400 --> 00:40:07,719
Speaker 8: what I told you in August. But now it's pressman

925
00:40:08,320 --> 00:40:10,560
Speaker 8: motor and motor is different from bump.

926
00:40:11,040 --> 00:40:11,680
Speaker 7: Did I say that?

927
00:40:11,800 --> 00:40:15,120
Speaker 1: Yeah, I don't know, press man. I think that's what

928
00:40:15,160 --> 00:40:17,960
Speaker 1: you said back then, pressman. But why do you say motor?

929
00:40:18,160 --> 00:40:20,440
Speaker 8: Motor is different because motor you give ground, so you're

930
00:40:20,480 --> 00:40:22,719
Speaker 8: still in the receiver's face, but you give ground a

931
00:40:22,719 --> 00:40:25,080
Speaker 8: little bit when the when the boss snaps bump is

932
00:40:25,120 --> 00:40:26,840

00:42:04,640 --> 00:42:07,320
Speaker 1: these personal questions. Okay, I'm not going to ask you

972
00:42:07,400 --> 00:42:09,160
Speaker 1: at all. Right, I want to know about the New

973
00:42:09,160 --> 00:42:13,480
Speaker 1: England Patriots right now when you actually watch them on

974
00:42:13,719 --> 00:42:17,520
Speaker 1: tape they're passing attack specifically, what are you.

975
00:42:17,560 --> 00:42:19,759
Speaker 7: Seeing they have?

976
00:42:19,960 --> 00:42:22,240
Speaker 8: They have potential and they have a lot of talent,

977
00:42:22,560 --> 00:42:24,440
Speaker 8: you know what I'm saying. They're a young team and

978
00:42:25,200 --> 00:42:28,040
Speaker 8: like Drake made, they starting quarterbacks a rookie. Uh, they

979
00:42:28,080 --> 00:42:30,239
Speaker 8: got two rookie wide receivers, both of them I trained

980
00:42:30,320 --> 00:42:35,800
Speaker 8: with actually an xpe and for Lauderdale Poke and Javan.

981
00:42:36,360 --> 00:42:38,680
Speaker 8: But yeah, they have a lot of talent. They got

982
00:42:39,440 --> 00:42:46,000
Speaker 8: lsu at wide receiver number nine three from Liberty Douglas

983
00:42:46,080 --> 00:42:50,240
Speaker 8: exactly exactly and then yeah, so born out there.

984
00:42:50,960 --> 00:42:52,120
Speaker 7: But they have a lot of talent.

985
00:42:52,239 --> 00:42:55,080
Speaker 8: But one thing we can do is take that up

986
00:42:55,120 --> 00:42:56,800
Speaker 8: and we can go man, we can go zone. We

987
00:42:56,840 --> 00:42:59,040
Speaker 8: can do whatever we want and be comfortable in that

988
00:42:59,120 --> 00:43:01,880
Speaker 8: because we believe and what we do more than our competation.

989
00:43:01,920 --> 00:43:03,719
Speaker 1: It's really important to kind of mix that up.

990
00:43:04,000 --> 00:43:05,920
Speaker 7: Yeah, for sure, for sure, for sure we're gonna mix

991
00:43:05,920 --> 00:43:07,200
Speaker 7: it up. For sure. You never want to give the

992
00:43:07,239 --> 00:43:08,640
Speaker 7: same look. That's just football, one on one.

993
00:43:08,680 --> 00:43:10,759
Speaker 8: Never get the same look too many times because they're

994
00:43:10,760 --> 00:43:12,759
Speaker 8: going to adjust to it and they're gonna attack you accordingly.

995
00:43:12,840 --> 00:43:15,399
Speaker 6: All Right, here's Jonathan Gannon on what stands out about

996
00:43:15,440 --> 00:43:16,080
Speaker 6: the Patriots.

997
00:43:16,760 --> 00:43:19,280
Speaker 12: Coach Mayo's done a good job. They play extremely hard.

998
00:43:19,880 --> 00:43:24,600
Speaker 12: That jumps out. They're well coached, they play with good fundamentals. Defensively,

999
00:43:24,719 --> 00:43:28,680
Speaker 12: they give you some challenges with structures and people, very

1000
00:43:28,760 --> 00:43:33,799
Speaker 12: creative Offensively, you know, quarterbacks playing pretty good. He's mobile guy,

1001
00:43:34,600 --> 00:43:36,000
Speaker 12: we got to do a good job on him. And

1002
00:43:36,040 --> 00:43:38,400
Speaker 12: then special teams they got some guys that can impact

1003
00:43:38,400 --> 00:43:41,120
Speaker 12: the game. So all three phases we've got to be

1004
00:43:41,200 --> 00:43:41,400
Speaker 12: on it.

1005
00:43:41,760 --> 00:43:43,719
Speaker 5: What have you learned about NFL quarterbacks?

1006
00:43:43,800 --> 00:43:45,959
Speaker 6: Obviously they all have arm talent, they all have talent,

1007
00:43:46,120 --> 00:43:49,200
Speaker 6: But what else have you learned about NFL caliber quarterbacks?

1008
00:43:49,440 --> 00:43:52,920
Speaker 8: They're so different in week to week. It's like you're

1009
00:43:52,960 --> 00:43:56,640
Speaker 8: getting darn near a completely different guy, you know what

1010
00:43:56,680 --> 00:43:58,320
Speaker 8: I'm saying, Like we're about the verse of Rookie and

1011
00:43:58,440 --> 00:44:01,400
Speaker 8: Drake May. A couple of weeks ago, it was Aaron Rodgers.

1012
00:44:01,600 --> 00:44:04,200
Speaker 8: I remember in uh in training camp when we did

1013
00:44:04,200 --> 00:44:07,600
Speaker 8: the joint practice Joe Flacco, Like, it's so many differ

1014
00:44:09,040 --> 00:44:12,799
Speaker 8: it's all different exactly. Yeah and yeah, so you can

1015
00:44:12,800 --> 00:44:14,960
Speaker 8: get a run heavy guy, a guy who doesn't leave

1016
00:44:15,000 --> 00:44:17,040
Speaker 8: the pocket and Aaron Rodgers nowadays, like he will not

1017
00:44:17,120 --> 00:44:20,319
Speaker 8: lead in pocket. And uh, it's just the diversity in

1018
00:44:20,360 --> 00:44:22,719
Speaker 8: the quarterbacks nowadays where it's like, okay, you have to

1019
00:44:22,760 --> 00:44:24,760
Speaker 8: lock in week to week to know what you're getting.

1020
