Quite busy if you are a fan 10 00:00:42,988 --> 00:00:44,748 Speaker 3: of the NFL. And with that, we have to welcome 11 00:00:44,788 --> 00:00:48,428 Speaker 3: in our NFL network insiders with us today Mike Garrofolo 12 00:00:48,548 --> 00:00:50,948 Speaker 3: and Tom Pellasero. Gee, if I was going to pick 13 00:00:50,988 --> 00:00:52,788 Speaker 3: a topic out of the hat that we want to 14 00:00:52,788 --> 00:00:56,028 Speaker 3: discuss from the twenty twenty six NFL Annual League Meeting 15 00:00:56,028 --> 00:00:58,908 Speaker 3: in Phoenix, it's not the super Bowl, it's not hard knocks. Guys, 16 00:00:59,068 --> 00:01:01,788 Speaker 3: Gotta go with AJ Brown. What's the latest with the Eagles? 17 00:01:02,548 --> 00:01:05,628 Speaker 5: Well, this is where the availability is, Jamie. For general 18 00:01:05,628 --> 00:01:08,388 Speaker 5: managers and head coaches in the Eagles, GM and head 19 00:01:08,388 --> 00:01:10,828 Speaker 5: coach were asked about AJ Brown and sort of avoided 20 00:01:10,828 --> 00:01:13,708 Speaker 5: the question carefully word it answers about how he's a 21 00:01:13,748 --> 00:01:17,268 Speaker 5: member of the Philadelphia Eagles, and he is on the 22 00:01:17,308 --> 00:01:19,548 Speaker 5: team right now. Well we know that, but the question 23 00:01:19,628 --> 00:01:22,388 Speaker 5: is will he become June's second because we're now looking 24 00:01:22,388 --> 00:01:26,108 Speaker 5: at that as sort of the open of the second 25 00:01:26,148 --> 00:01:28,028 Speaker 5: window for a trade of a j Brown because at 26 00:01:28,068 --> 00:01:31,068 Speaker 5: that point the salary cappit for the Eagles goes down significantly. Look, 27 00:01:31,108 --> 00:01:33,348 Speaker 5: they made a run at it, or I should say 28 00:01:33,348 --> 00:01:35,108 Speaker 5: other teams made a run at it around the start 29 00:01:35,148 --> 00:01:36,348 Speaker 5: of the league year, but it was going to be 30 00:01:36,388 --> 00:01:38,668 Speaker 5: a massive cap hit. So for Howie Roseman, if it 31 00:01:38,708 --> 00:01:39,908 Speaker 5: was going to get done, then it had to be 32 00:01:39,988 --> 00:01:42,788 Speaker 5: the compensation that he wanted. No team got there. So 33 00:01:42,828 --> 00:01:44,668 Speaker 5: that's where we are right now. Nick Sirianni and how 34 00:01:44,668 --> 00:01:47,148 Speaker 5: He Rosen understanding that there is a possibility that AJ 35 00:01:47,268 --> 00:01:48,508 Speaker 5: Brown remains an Eagle for. 36 00:01:48,468 --> 00:01:50,748 Speaker 6: This upcoming season, but also the possibility of trade. Will 37 00:01:50,748 --> 00:01:51,548 Speaker 6: continue to watch it for you. 38 00:01:51,668 --> 00:01:54,428 Speaker 7: Another wide receiver who has been on and off the 39 00:01:54,468 --> 00:01:56,428 Speaker 7: trade block for a couple of years now for a 40 00:01:56,468 --> 00:01:59,588 Speaker 7: variety of different reasons. Brandon Ayu didn't play last season 41 00:01:59,908 --> 00:02:03,068 Speaker 7: for the forty nine Ers. It's been unclear frankly, when 42 00:02:03,308 --> 00:02:05,828 Speaker 7: or if we'll see i uk on an NFL field again. 43 00:02:05,908 --> 00:02:08,548 Speaker 7: But speaking yesterday, Kyle Shanahan said they're in no rush 44 00:02:08,588 --> 00:02:10,668 Speaker 7: to make a decision on Ayuk and they would like 45 00:02:10,788 --> 00:02:13,668 Speaker 7: to get something for him as opposed to flat out 46 00:02:13,708 --> 00:02:16,548 Speaker 7: releasing him. There is a lot to unpack with Ayuk 47 00:02:16,628 --> 00:02:19,028 Speaker 7: and the forty nine ers. He has been not happy 48 00:02:19,108 --> 00:02:21,628 Speaker 7: since they stripped his guarantees for a variety of issues 49 00:02:21,908 --> 00:02:24,468 Speaker 7: last summer. He never fully completed his rehab, never got 50 00:02:24,468 --> 00:02:27,428 Speaker 7: back on the field last season, and also he's doing 51 00:02:27,468 --> 00:02:28,108 Speaker 7: a huge. 52 00:02:27,908 --> 00:02:28,748 Speaker 6: Amount of money. 53 00:02:28,828 --> 00:02:32,188 Speaker 7: Any trade would have to be facilitated by a contract restructure, 54 00:02:32,348 --> 00:02:34,148 Speaker 7: and if a Yuk doesn't like the place that the 55 00:02:34,148 --> 00:02:35,428 Speaker 7: forty nine ers are about to send it, he can 56 00:02:35,468 --> 00:02:37,948 Speaker 7: simply say, I'm not signing that paperwork. I'm not going 57 00:02:38,028 --> 00:02:40,388 Speaker 7: to do it. So difficult, you never say never in 58 00:02:40,428 --> 00:02:42,908 Speaker 7: the NFL. But as much as we expected a resolution 59 00:02:43,108 --> 00:02:45,068 Speaker 7: after the start of the league year, here we are, 60 00:02:45,108 --> 00:02:47,628 Speaker 7: Mike about three weeks later and still no resolution on au. 61 00:02:47,708 --> 00:02:49,868 Speaker 5: Meanwhile, a couple of things regarding the Cleveland Browns. I 62 00:02:49,868 --> 00:02:52,308 Speaker 5: whenever you visit, I talked last week on Good Morning 63 00:02:52,348 --> 00:02:56,508 Speaker 5: Football about that contract restructure for Miles Garrett, and anybody 64 00:02:56,548 --> 00:02:58,468 Speaker 5: we talked to with the Browns was telling us at 65 00:02:58,548 --> 00:03:00,748 Speaker 5: least behind the scenes for not training him and has 66 00:03:00,788 --> 00:03:02,908 Speaker 5: nothing to do with the trade. There are cap reasons 67 00:03:03,308 --> 00:03:05,788 Speaker 5: that we don't really want to die. We don't want 68 00:03:05,788 --> 00:03:09,108 Speaker 5: to give up the strategic advantage. Well, now that's all 69 00:03:09,148 --> 00:03:12,868 Speaker 5: being set on the record basically with Andrew Berry, Todd 70 00:03:12,908 --> 00:03:16,028 Speaker 5: Bunkin telling Tom next to me that no, he does 71 00:03:16,068 --> 00:03:17,628 Speaker 5: not want to trade him Monk and going to talk 72 00:03:17,668 --> 00:03:21,468 Speaker 5: again today at the morning session with the AFC coaches. 73 00:03:21,828 --> 00:03:24,468 Speaker 5: So Miles Garrett at least from what the Browns are saying, 74 00:03:24,908 --> 00:03:27,468 Speaker 5: no indication that they want to move him, Andrew Berry 75 00:03:27,908 --> 00:03:30,308 Speaker 5: calling him a career Brown. Also with the Browns, one 76 00:03:30,388 --> 00:03:32,388 Speaker 5: I remember I said last week I thought DeShawn Watson 77 00:03:32,588 --> 00:03:34,988 Speaker 5: might be in the pole position to be the brown 78 00:03:35,068 --> 00:03:37,908 Speaker 5: starter for this upcoming season. Jimmy has them telling reporters 79 00:03:37,908 --> 00:03:40,628 Speaker 5: that he's got a great chance to be the starter 80 00:03:40,668 --> 00:03:42,428 Speaker 5: for the Browns, which is amazing because he said, we 81 00:03:42,508 --> 00:03:44,468 Speaker 5: took a swing and a miss on de Shaun Watson 82 00:03:44,508 --> 00:03:46,308 Speaker 5: in the past and now potentially could be starting. 83 00:03:46,348 --> 00:03:47,468 Speaker 4: I mean they're paying them. 84 00:03:47,508 --> 00:03:49,028 Speaker 5: You see a lot of other teams are cutting the 85 00:03:49,108 --> 00:03:51,188 Speaker 5: quarterbacks that they're paying the Browns hanging on to Watson 86 00:03:51,188 --> 00:03:51,508 Speaker 5: here I. 87 00:03:51,428 --> 00:03:54,268 Speaker 7: Did ask Todd Monkott about that quarterback room yesterday as well. 88 00:03:54,308 --> 00:03:57,268 Speaker 7: I specifically asked to so Shduur finished last season as 89 00:03:57,348 --> 00:04:00,308 Speaker 7: QB one, does he start the off season as QB one? 90 00:04:00,348 --> 00:04:03,788 Speaker 7: He said, we're not there yet. He anticipates a competitive room. 91 00:04:03,828 --> 00:04:06,348 Speaker 7: He likes those guys and wants to see exactly what 92 00:04:06,468 --> 00:04:10,068 Speaker 7: everybody can do. As for the agenda here on day two, 93 00:04:10,188 --> 00:04:13,548 Speaker 7: the final day of the NFL annual meeting, we'll have 94 00:04:13,788 --> 00:04:16,828 Speaker 7: rules change votes, but not at the level that we've 95 00:04:16,828 --> 00:04:19,828 Speaker 7: had them in the past. The Browns actually withdrew their 96 00:04:19,868 --> 00:04:22,428 Speaker 7: proposal to allow teams to trade draft picks five years 97 00:04:22,428 --> 00:04:24,708 Speaker 7: out rather than three. It was a trial balloon. It 98 00:04:24,748 --> 00:04:26,908 Speaker 7: didn't have a lot of support, so no vote on that. 99 00:04:27,028 --> 00:04:30,548 Speaker 7: We will get a couple of votes. Jamie on rule 100 00:04:30,628 --> 00:04:34,868 Speaker 7: changes regarding potential reviews from New York. One allowing the 101 00:04:34,948 --> 00:04:37,508 Speaker 7: league office to look at any acts that are not 102 00:04:37,588 --> 00:04:39,948 Speaker 7: football acts. They will qualify for rejection even if no 103 00:04:40,028 --> 00:04:42,628 Speaker 7: flag is thrown on the field. That's a baby step 104 00:04:42,668 --> 00:04:46,188 Speaker 7: toward allowing New York to become more involved in making 105 00:04:46,228 --> 00:04:48,788 Speaker 7: calls that are not actually flags on the field. And 106 00:04:48,828 --> 00:04:52,468 Speaker 7: then also a one year proposal related to the possibility 107 00:04:52,868 --> 00:04:56,068 Speaker 7: that the labor deal with the referees Unit expires on 108 00:04:56,148 --> 00:04:58,308 Speaker 7: May thirty first. That would allow New York to correct 109 00:04:58,628 --> 00:05:02,188 Speaker 7: any clear and obvious airrors. That is a leap forward 110 00:05:02,228 --> 00:05:04,468 Speaker 7: if they go that direction. But you would end his 111 00:05:04,628 --> 00:05:06,828 Speaker 7: bait Jamie that this is going to get approved. It 112 00:05:06,908 --> 00:05:09,228 Speaker 7: is one of the various ways the NFL is preparing 113 00:05:09,268 --> 00:05:12,268 Speaker 7: for the possibility of a workstoppage and having to use 114 00:05:12,308 --> 00:05:14,268 Speaker 7: replacement officials to start twenty twenty six. 115 00:05:14,388 --> 00:05:16,068 Speaker 3: Tom and Mike Gee, I also feel like fans have 116 00:05:16,108 --> 00:05:19,108 Speaker 3: to emotionally prepare if there are replacement refs come the 117 00:05:19,148 --> 00:05:21,348 Speaker 3: new season. So let me ask you this. Let's say 118 00:05:21,428 --> 00:05:25,108 Speaker 3: the agreement expires on May thirty first, do they still 119 00:05:25,148 --> 00:05:28,108 Speaker 3: have the entire summer to get something done? So we 120 00:05:28,228 --> 00:05:30,828 Speaker 3: could have the officials that we're used to seeing on 121 00:05:30,868 --> 00:05:33,548 Speaker 3: the field by September one, or the second May thirty 122 00:05:33,548 --> 00:05:35,748 Speaker 3: first goes, we just know like, hey, this is happening. 123 00:05:35,788 --> 00:05:38,148 Speaker 3: Replacement officials are starting week one. How does this go? 124 00:05:38,588 --> 00:05:40,828 Speaker 7: What I would tell you is from the league's perspective, 125 00:05:40,988 --> 00:05:44,748 Speaker 7: it becomes more difficult once that train leaves the station 126 00:05:45,268 --> 00:05:47,748 Speaker 7: to be able to get back. In other words, the 127 00:05:47,788 --> 00:05:50,948 Speaker 7: bargaining is not going to become simpler once you're expending 128 00:05:51,068 --> 00:05:55,388 Speaker 7: costs on hiring replacement officials training replacement officials, that's going 129 00:05:55,388 --> 00:05:58,708 Speaker 7: to factor into the calculus. And without getting into all 130 00:05:58,748 --> 00:06:02,108 Speaker 7: the nitty gritty of the negotiations, you've got multiple issues here. 131 00:06:02,148 --> 00:06:05,068 Speaker 7: You have the money. The NFL is proposing a raise, 132 00:06:05,108 --> 00:06:06,868 Speaker 7: a year over year raise, that's the biggest that they've 133 00:06:06,868 --> 00:06:10,708 Speaker 7: ever proposed. The Referees Association wants substantially more. The NFL 134 00:06:10,788 --> 00:06:14,988 Speaker 7: also wants to emphasize training and performance as opposed to 135 00:06:15,108 --> 00:06:18,948 Speaker 7: emphasizing seniority for things like postseason assignments. It doesn't feel 136 00:06:19,028 --> 00:06:21,628 Speaker 7: like they're even speaking the same language on the issue 137 00:06:21,628 --> 00:06:23,708 Speaker 7: at this point. The plan, from what I am told, 138 00:06:23,828 --> 00:06:26,708 Speaker 7: is to begin hiring replacement officials if there is no 139 00:06:26,788 --> 00:06:29,548 Speaker 7: labor deal in place, which remains the goal well before 140 00:06:29,628 --> 00:06:32,308 Speaker 7: the expiration of that labor deal on May thirty. First, 141 00:06:32,388 --> 00:06:34,548 Speaker 7: use June and July to train the officials, put them 142 00:06:34,548 --> 00:06:36,548 Speaker 7: out in training camps extensively, to give them as many 143 00:06:36,548 --> 00:06:39,668 Speaker 7: full speed reps as possible. That, coupled with this rule 144 00:06:39,708 --> 00:06:42,388 Speaker 7: change that could be voted upon today, the NFL feels 145 00:06:42,388 --> 00:06:45,108 Speaker 7: would give them a better opportunity to avoid the types 146 00:06:45,108 --> 00:06:47,228 Speaker 7: of issues that they had back in twenty twelve. 147 00:06:47,268 --> 00:06:49,348 Speaker 6: We'll see exactly what direction these things, yeh mean. 148 00:06:49,348 --> 00:06:51,988 Speaker 5: It's equal parts preparing for the season and also letting 149 00:06:51,988 --> 00:06:55,228 Speaker 5: the Referees Association know here's our deadline number one and 150 00:06:55,348 --> 00:06:57,188 Speaker 5: number two. If you think there's going to be another 151 00:06:57,228 --> 00:06:59,428 Speaker 5: fail Mary and you're going to pressure us to get 152 00:06:59,468 --> 00:07:01,788 Speaker 5: back to the table, we are preparing for that by 153 00:07:01,788 --> 00:07:04,108 Speaker 5: allowing New York our folks in New York who are 154 00:07:04,908 --> 00:07:06,428 Speaker 5: to prevent anything like that. 155 00:07:06,548 --> 00:07:10,148 Speaker 6: So again, equal parts preparing and some messages. 156 00:07:09,908 --> 00:07:12,228 Speaker 3: The traumatizing Dajavue that would go down if we saw 157 00:07:12,268 --> 00:07:14,348 Speaker 3: Seahawks packers again and we saw this and we saw this, 158 00:07:14,428 --> 00:07:16,428 Speaker 3: and like nobody wants to see that, Okay, So let's 159 00:07:16,668 --> 00:07:19,348 Speaker 3: hopefully we have a resolve before the season begins. Guys, 160 00:07:19,388 --> 00:07:21,468 Speaker 3: thanks so much. Watch the Insider CRER on NFL Network 161 00:07:21,508 --> 00:07:24,748 Speaker 3: later today and with that elsewhere in Arizona, which is 162 00:07:24,748 --> 00:07:26,988 Speaker 3: crazy to us because we've enjoyed so many people that 163 00:07:27,028 --> 00:07:31,028 Speaker 3: have stopped by from Pack today.

PACK has been 172 00:07:55,948 --> 00:07:59,308 Speaker 8: incredible for me. I was introduced to PACK when I 173 00:07:59,348 --> 00:08:02,228 Speaker 8: was in my tenth year and I had. 174 00:08:02,188 --> 00:08:05,588 Speaker 4: I was a bit active off the field, but. 175 00:08:05,548 --> 00:08:08,348 Speaker 8: Then in a dangerous way, which I didn't know at 176 00:08:08,348 --> 00:08:12,268 Speaker 8: the time. It's like throughout my playing career I had 177 00:08:12,308 --> 00:08:16,748 Speaker 8: an abundance of great coaching Sean Payne, Mike McDaniel, Dan Campbell, 178 00:08:16,828 --> 00:08:18,988 Speaker 8: Daniel Rochard, which Bury, et cetera. 179 00:08:19,988 --> 00:08:22,308 Speaker 4: But off the field, I can't say the same. 180 00:08:22,388 --> 00:08:25,348 Speaker 8: So just imagine having a planning career with no playbook, 181 00:08:25,388 --> 00:08:28,868 Speaker 8: no coaching, no training. PACK has filled that space in 182 00:08:28,908 --> 00:08:33,868 Speaker 8: a way that is extremely beneficial. It's stable, it's the 183 00:08:33,988 --> 00:08:38,468 Speaker 8: trust is there. It's been life changing for me, truly, Drew. 184 00:08:38,508 --> 00:08:40,588 Speaker 3: I have to imagine it's pretty special for you to 185 00:08:40,788 --> 00:08:43,508 Speaker 3: have joined a community like this and for them as 186 00:08:43,548 --> 00:08:45,588 Speaker 3: well to have somebody like you in the room.

But you know, for me, you know, 195 00:09:01,508 --> 00:09:04,628 Speaker 9: I'm newer to this. I've been through this transition, been 196 00:09:04,668 --> 00:09:07,588 Speaker 9: in business now for twenty years, so I'm feeling a 197 00:09:07,588 --> 00:09:09,148 Speaker 9: little bit more of the little bit more of the 198 00:09:09,188 --> 00:09:11,508 Speaker 9: mentor side of this thing with some guys. But I'm 199 00:09:11,548 --> 00:09:14,748 Speaker 9: still down here and look, man, life's about curiosity and 200 00:09:14,788 --> 00:09:17,628 Speaker 9: so I'm still learning as well. T Staid and I 201 00:09:17,668 --> 00:09:19,868 Speaker 9: got to spend some time in Dubai together over there 202 00:09:19,868 --> 00:09:22,108 Speaker 9: for the World Government Summit. Thankfully we left before the 203 00:09:22,148 --> 00:09:27,068 Speaker 9: missiles started playing and got back. But you know, being 204 00:09:27,108 --> 00:09:30,428 Speaker 9: able to be a guy that's been through that transition 205 00:09:30,868 --> 00:09:33,548 Speaker 9: and then share some of my experience with some of 206 00:09:33,228 --> 00:09:34,548 Speaker 9: these youngsters has. 207 00:09:34,948 --> 00:09:37,428 Speaker 3: Been awesome, fantastic have you guys both, And if you're here, 208 00:09:37,508 --> 00:09:39,548 Speaker 3: we got to ask about stuff that's happening in the 209 00:09:39,668 --> 00:09:42,788 Speaker 3: NFL because of your expertise. So let's focus perhaps on 210 00:09:42,828 --> 00:09:44,948 Speaker 3: a team that was nearly there to go to the 211 00:09:44,948 --> 00:09:47,108 Speaker 3: Super Bowl, and that is the Denver Broncos. They upgraded 212 00:09:47,108 --> 00:09:49,508 Speaker 3: their offense for bow Nicks, who will be coming back 213 00:09:49,508 --> 00:09:52,228 Speaker 3: from injury in a big way this offseason, by trading 214 00:09:52,268 --> 00:09:56,028 Speaker 3: for Dolphin star wide out Jalen Waddle. Yesterday, their general 215 00:09:56,028 --> 00:09:58,748 Speaker 3: manager George Payton addressed the media and talked about the 216 00:09:58,828 --> 00:10:01,668 Speaker 3: kind of player Denver was getting in Waddle. 217 00:10:01,708 --> 00:10:04,348 Speaker 10: He's one of the more explosive playmakers in the league. 218 00:10:04,428 --> 00:10:07,628 Speaker 10: First and foremost, great makeup, great competitor. He'll fit in 219 00:10:07,668 --> 00:10:10,388 Speaker 10: well with our room. We really like our room. I've 220 00:10:10,388 --> 00:10:12,908 Speaker 10: said that on a number of you know Cortland and 221 00:10:12,988 --> 00:10:15,668 Speaker 10: Pat Bryant and Troy and Mimsy. So we have a 222 00:10:15,668 --> 00:10:18,108 Speaker 10: great room and he just upgrades or he just helps 223 00:10:18,108 --> 00:10:20,948 Speaker 10: the room and opens up the rung game. He'll open 224 00:10:20,948 --> 00:10:23,628 Speaker 10: it up for the other receivers. So we think he'll 225 00:10:23,628 --> 00:10:24,548 Speaker 10: fit in well with the group. 226 00:10:25,588 --> 00:10:27,988 Speaker 3: I got just envision Bonix going through his rehab and 227 00:10:28,028 --> 00:10:29,548 Speaker 3: he sees this trade go down, He's like. 228 00:10:29,548 --> 00:10:30,628 Speaker 4: Who what with me? 229 00:10:30,868 --> 00:10:31,588 Speaker 11: Jalen Wattle? 230 00:10:31,588 --> 00:10:32,068 Speaker 8: What a gift? 231 00:10:32,108 --> 00:10:34,788 Speaker 3: Toront Arms said, you know Wattle, you played in Miami, 232 00:10:35,268 --> 00:10:37,708 Speaker 3: and you also know Sean Payton very well. So what 233 00:10:37,748 --> 00:10:40,388 Speaker 3: does Wattle bring to this Broncos offense now led by 234 00:10:40,428 --> 00:10:42,388 Speaker 3: Sean Payton, And what a gift it is for Bonux. 235 00:10:43,708 --> 00:10:44,668 Speaker 4: It's truly a gift. 236 00:10:44,988 --> 00:10:50,548 Speaker 8: He's his explosiveness, competitiveness, He's a dog. You guys don't 237 00:10:50,548 --> 00:10:53,628 Speaker 8: really know much about Jalen Wattle. His personality. He's a 238 00:10:53,828 --> 00:10:57,188 Speaker 8: very quiet, quiet guy. He keeps his head down in words. 239 00:10:57,188 --> 00:11:02,868 Speaker 8: But his nickname is Ki because he'd be slotting on folks. 240 00:11:03,028 --> 00:11:07,508 Speaker 8: The elusive, the competitiveness he's grown up, watching him grow 241 00:11:07,748 --> 00:11:11,748 Speaker 8: over these last few years as a leader, as a professional, 242 00:11:11,748 --> 00:11:14,748 Speaker 8: as a man. He's we haven't even seen his best 243 00:11:14,748 --> 00:11:18,308 Speaker 8: ball yet. It's it's truly a gift for Denver Broncos. 244 00:11:18,988 --> 00:11:21,468 Speaker 12: Drew, I got to ask you in regards to bone 245 00:11:21,548 --> 00:11:24,428 Speaker 12: Nicks number one, what have you seen in his development 246 00:11:24,508 --> 00:11:27,508 Speaker 12: so far? And then also what do you think that 247 00:11:27,588 --> 00:11:29,828 Speaker 12: he has to do to take the next step going 248 00:11:29,868 --> 00:11:31,148 Speaker 12: into year three in his career. 249 00:11:32,108 --> 00:11:33,588 Speaker 9: Well, first of all, I have to admit it's kind 250 00:11:33,588 --> 00:11:35,348 Speaker 9: of hard for me to cheer for an Oregon Duck. 251 00:11:35,988 --> 00:11:37,988 Speaker 9: They kind of have a number in college. You know, 252 00:11:37,988 --> 00:11:40,548 Speaker 9: we're surrounded by all these Duck fans up in the Northwest, 253 00:11:40,588 --> 00:11:43,428 Speaker 9: and they're a little bit annoying. So but man, I 254 00:11:43,428 --> 00:11:46,028 Speaker 9: am a big bone Knicks fan and watching what he's 255 00:11:46,068 --> 00:11:50,028 Speaker 9: done as quickly as he's done it, and then you know, look, 256 00:11:50,348 --> 00:11:54,508 Speaker 9: as a quarterback, your play caller can be your best 257 00:11:54,508 --> 00:11:57,908 Speaker 9: friend and if and if you've got a great one, man, 258 00:11:57,948 --> 00:11:59,788 Speaker 9: it makes life easy. I was with Sean for one 259 00:11:59,868 --> 00:12:03,748 Speaker 9: year in Dallas. I had eight coordinators in fourteen years, 260 00:12:04,148 --> 00:12:07,588 Speaker 9: and Sean was was definitely my favorite play caller that 261 00:12:07,628 --> 00:12:10,148 Speaker 9: I was with. Everything one play built on the next. 262 00:12:10,148 --> 00:12:13,388 Speaker 9: I always knew it was coming next. He's very calm 263 00:12:13,468 --> 00:12:18,668 Speaker 9: most of the time, and as a quarterback man, it's 264 00:12:18,708 --> 00:12:20,948 Speaker 9: just a great thing to have in your corner to 265 00:12:21,028 --> 00:12:23,708 Speaker 9: have a truly great play caller that sets you up 266 00:12:23,748 --> 00:12:24,268 Speaker 9: for success. 267 00:12:24,668 --> 00:12:26,108 Speaker 3: True, I want to keep I want to ask you 268 00:12:26,108 --> 00:12:29,668 Speaker 3: about that. That's a fascinating eight coordinators in fourteen seasons. 269 00:12:29,708 --> 00:12:31,748 Speaker 3: Not that bow Nix is there, but he went through 270 00:12:31,748 --> 00:12:34,468 Speaker 3: a lot of change between his college stops that he 271 00:12:34,548 --> 00:12:36,788 Speaker 3: made along the way and now that he is obviously 272 00:12:36,828 --> 00:12:38,988 Speaker 3: new to the NFL. But what does it speak to 273 00:12:39,028 --> 00:12:41,308 Speaker 3: a young quarterback like a bow Nix who can go 274 00:12:41,388 --> 00:12:43,388 Speaker 3: through changes like that, And how do you think that 275 00:12:43,468 --> 00:12:46,708 Speaker 3: actually helps him in his maybe processing or his decision 276 00:12:46,748 --> 00:12:48,348 Speaker 3: making and the development of his game. 277 00:12:49,148 --> 00:12:50,828 Speaker 9: Yeah, I mean, I think, you know, there's a case 278 00:12:50,828 --> 00:12:52,148 Speaker 9: to be made that it's good for you to have 279 00:12:52,148 --> 00:12:54,868 Speaker 9: to deal with a lot of different play callers, good 280 00:12:54,868 --> 00:12:57,428 Speaker 9: for you long term. But then if you can have 281 00:12:57,548 --> 00:13:02,788 Speaker 9: consistency for multiple years with one play caller, that's when 282 00:13:02,868 --> 00:13:04,748 Speaker 9: you're going to really see some rise. So I think 283 00:13:04,748 --> 00:13:06,668 Speaker 9: what you're going to see out of Bonnicks going forward 284 00:13:07,028 --> 00:13:08,708 Speaker 9: is he's going to continue to rise. You know, I 285 00:13:08,748 --> 00:13:11,308 Speaker 9: know he's got to go through some rehab. Uh, you know, 286 00:13:11,388 --> 00:13:13,068 Speaker 9: we were all really sad to see him, to see 287 00:13:13,108 --> 00:13:14,388 Speaker 9: him get hurt in the playoffs last year. 288 00:13:14,428 --> 00:13:16,228 Speaker 6: But uh, but he's going to be back. 289 00:13:16,308 --> 00:13:19,708 Speaker 9: And but man, that continuity having been through change, that's 290 00:13:19,788 --> 00:13:22,308 Speaker 9: that creates growth for him. But I think you're going 291 00:13:22,388 --> 00:13:24,548 Speaker 9: to see him continue to rise as is he and 292 00:13:24,868 --> 00:13:28,868 Speaker 9: Sean and their their relationship continues to develop and evolved 293 00:13:29,188 --> 00:13:31,188 Speaker 9: over these years. And now he's got man, he got 294 00:13:31,188 --> 00:13:34,708 Speaker 9: a dynamic new target. That was news to me this morning. 295 00:13:34,828 --> 00:13:36,988 Speaker 9: So that that's, uh, that's only going to going to. 296 00:13:36,908 --> 00:13:37,828 Speaker 6: Help him rise as well. 297 00:13:38,588 --> 00:13:41,148 Speaker 4: Drew, first of all, I got to say, go Husky's. 298 00:13:40,828 --> 00:13:45,708 Speaker 13: Apologize that you're a cougar, a handle. 299 00:13:45,468 --> 00:13:45,788 Speaker 4: That out of. 300 00:13:47,628 --> 00:13:48,348 Speaker 14: This stuff. 301 00:13:48,428 --> 00:13:50,988 Speaker 9: Never this stuff never ends, never ends. I'm sorry you 302 00:13:51,028 --> 00:13:52,668 Speaker 9: couldn't get into Washington State. 303 00:13:52,468 --> 00:13:54,708 Speaker 6: And do a fallback school. That's that's great. 304 00:13:56,028 --> 00:13:58,468 Speaker 13: Respect, respect the guy out of your career. 305 00:13:58,668 --> 00:13:59,548 Speaker 6: I want to get your take. 306 00:13:59,548 --> 00:14:00,148 Speaker 4: I want people to. 307 00:14:00,188 --> 00:14:04,308 Speaker 13: Understand, especially from the quarterbacks perspective, like you, what does 308 00:14:04,508 --> 00:14:08,148 Speaker 13: adding Jalen Waddle in association with Courtland Sudden, in association 309 00:14:08,228 --> 00:14:10,788 Speaker 13: with Troy flanker Franklin? What is having those guys on 310 00:14:10,788 --> 00:14:13,428 Speaker 13: the outside do for your offense and your running game? 311 00:14:14,868 --> 00:14:17,148 Speaker 9: If you can force the defense to commit two guys 312 00:14:17,708 --> 00:14:20,108 Speaker 9: to one of your receivers on most plays because they're 313 00:14:20,108 --> 00:14:22,068 Speaker 9: afraid that he's going to blow the top off the defense, 314 00:14:22,268 --> 00:14:24,868 Speaker 9: it opens up the rest of the field, you know, 315 00:14:24,908 --> 00:14:27,268 Speaker 9: And I've had I had that at times in my career, 316 00:14:27,588 --> 00:14:30,588 Speaker 9: you know, with Terry Glann, with Eric Molds, with Fearless Price. 317 00:14:30,588 --> 00:14:32,588 Speaker 9: You know, I have these guys that could really blow 318 00:14:32,628 --> 00:14:35,508 Speaker 9: the top off, and man, it opens up everything in 319 00:14:35,548 --> 00:14:39,108 Speaker 9: your offense because there's that implied threat on every single 320 00:14:39,148 --> 00:14:41,348 Speaker 9: play that if we don't watch out for this guy, 321 00:14:41,668 --> 00:14:43,388 Speaker 9: if we don't put a safety over the top, he 322 00:14:43,428 --> 00:14:45,428 Speaker 9: doesn't get some help.

There is a list of 360 00:16:17,428 --> 00:16:20,508 Speaker 16: guys who have all had career years under Sean Payton 361 00:16:20,508 --> 00:16:26,708 Speaker 16: in his offense, Brandon Cooks, DeBie Henderson, Reggie Bush, Darren Sprolls. 362 00:16:26,788 --> 00:16:29,308 Speaker 16: In those three years, that's I could see Jayalen Waddall 363 00:16:29,348 --> 00:16:31,828 Speaker 16: also hiding in the backfield, all those routes out of 364 00:16:31,828 --> 00:16:33,708 Speaker 16: the backfield, that's all Sean Payton influence. 365 00:16:33,948 --> 00:16:34,828 Speaker 4: Ted Gin Junior. 366 00:16:35,348 --> 00:16:38,148 Speaker 16: You add that to the equation of Courland Sutton, Marvin Man's, 367 00:16:38,188 --> 00:16:38,868 Speaker 16: Troy Franklin. 368 00:16:38,868 --> 00:16:40,788 Speaker 4: It's a guy who could score from anywhere. 369 00:16:40,508 --> 00:16:43,388 Speaker 16: Screen, game, jet sweeps, gadget guy posts. 370 00:16:43,628 --> 00:16:45,388 Speaker 4: I mean, he can really do it all. 371 00:16:45,428 --> 00:16:48,548 Speaker 16: So I think this really go off, really unlocks this 372 00:16:48,668 --> 00:16:50,868 Speaker 16: offense in Denver. I think this is one of the 373 00:16:50,908 --> 00:16:53,188 Speaker 16: most exciting trades that that has happened this offseason. 374 00:16:53,228 --> 00:16:54,108 Speaker 11: Truly, it's awesome. 375 00:16:54,108 --> 00:16:56,388 Speaker 3: It's great takes about the Broncos and if this can 376 00:16:56,428 --> 00:16:59,028 Speaker 3: help them move beyond what they were handed this year 377 00:16:59,028 --> 00:17:01,668 Speaker 3: in the AFC title game.

The Dolphins made some major changes 492 00:21:53,548 --> 00:21:58,508 Speaker 16: this offseason, including signing your former Titans teammate Malik Willis. 493 00:21:58,628 --> 00:22:01,108 Speaker 16: How are you feeling about teaming up with Milik again? 494 00:22:02,308 --> 00:22:04,988 Speaker 14: Man, I'm overly excited, Like I'm in for it to 495 00:22:05,028 --> 00:22:06,068 Speaker 14: be teaming up with him again. 496 00:22:06,148 --> 00:22:08,228 Speaker 4: But I'm excited just for the journey he'd been through. 497 00:22:08,268 --> 00:22:08,788 Speaker 4: You know what I'm saying. 498 00:22:08,828 --> 00:22:12,108 Speaker 14: He going into year five and he's just been going 499 00:22:12,108 --> 00:22:13,908 Speaker 14: through it this whole time. Like he hasn't been a 500 00:22:13,948 --> 00:22:16,348 Speaker 14: start of much, but he been staying resilient through his 501 00:22:16,388 --> 00:22:19,268 Speaker 14: whole journey. And so just to know maliite, you know, 502 00:22:19,388 --> 00:22:22,028 Speaker 14: like that's a epitome of his personality. Like he's a 503 00:22:22,028 --> 00:22:24,748 Speaker 14: great present off the field on the field, and so 504 00:22:25,268 --> 00:22:26,948 Speaker 14: anything he's doing, like he's just a man of faith 505 00:22:26,988 --> 00:22:28,828 Speaker 14: and he saw that everywhere you go, and so I'm 506 00:22:28,868 --> 00:22:32,028 Speaker 14: just excited to reconnect and get that going again. 507 00:22:32,428 --> 00:22:35,268 Speaker 3: That's fantastic, Blake, We got to circle back to you, 508 00:22:35,308 --> 00:22:37,548 Speaker 3: As we said, it's when you've been around a teammate, 509 00:22:37,628 --> 00:22:40,028 Speaker 3: especially when it's a quarterback, you know they're inner workings 510 00:22:40,068 --> 00:22:43,148 Speaker 3: and maybe you know better than anybody what JJ McCarthy 511 00:22:43,188 --> 00:22:45,348 Speaker 3: is all about. As you guys want a national championship 512 00:22:45,388 --> 00:22:48,428 Speaker 3: together at Michigan. He has been challenged early in his 513 00:22:48,468 --> 00:22:51,228 Speaker 3: career in Minnesota. But what are some things about JJ 514 00:22:51,348 --> 00:22:54,068 Speaker 3: McCarthy that make you think that he is still a 515 00:22:54,148 --> 00:22:56,908 Speaker 3: QB one worthy NFL specifically in Minnesota. 516 00:22:57,548 --> 00:22:59,668 Speaker 11: I mean, the ceiling's so high for JJ. 517 00:23:00,268 --> 00:23:02,028 Speaker 18: You got to think his rookie year, you know, went 518 00:23:02,068 --> 00:23:04,828 Speaker 18: down with Andrey and then so last year he had 519 00:23:04,988 --> 00:23:06,468 Speaker 18: ate a bunch of injuries as well, So he hasn't 520 00:23:06,508 --> 00:23:08,428 Speaker 18: been on the field much. He hasn't really had a 521 00:23:08,468 --> 00:23:10,988 Speaker 18: lot of playing time that you know, quarterbacks need. It's 522 00:23:11,028 --> 00:23:12,988 Speaker 18: a lot different from going from college to the NFL. 523 00:23:13,068 --> 00:23:16,108 Speaker 18: But JJ's a field general and I think you know 524 00:23:16,108 --> 00:23:18,548 Speaker 18: he's going to take the challenge that they've given them. Obviously, 525 00:23:19,068 --> 00:23:21,508 Speaker 18: you know, bringing in Kyler Murray, there's going to be 526 00:23:21,508 --> 00:23:24,268 Speaker 18: a competition, and so you know he's that's gonna, you know, 527 00:23:24,348 --> 00:23:26,108 Speaker 18: light a fire under him. But he's just a good, 528 00:23:26,148 --> 00:23:29,588 Speaker 18: overall good human being. He's a competitor, and I know 529 00:23:29,668 --> 00:23:32,948 Speaker 18: he's not someone that's going to let naysayers or outsiders, 530 00:23:32,988 --> 00:23:35,468 Speaker 18: you know, determined, you know the type of player he's 531 00:23:35,508 --> 00:23:37,708 Speaker 18: going to be. You know, he still has the pensil 532 00:23:37,668 --> 00:23:40,228 Speaker 18: on his own hand. You know, he's still writing his story. 533 00:23:40,548 --> 00:23:42,548 Speaker 18: And so I think, you know, this is going to 534 00:23:42,588 --> 00:23:45,588 Speaker 18: be a great year for JJ, and I'm super excited 535 00:23:45,588 --> 00:23:48,348 Speaker 18: to see him, you know, really prove everyone wrong. 536 00:23:48,668 --> 00:23:51,628 Speaker 3: That's really well said about your former teammate and JJ McCarthy. 537 00:23:51,668 --> 00:23:54,468 Speaker 3: Another thing that happened to JJ early last season was 538 00:23:54,508 --> 00:23:57,228 Speaker 3: he had his first child, which was wonderful to celebrate 539 00:23:57,268 --> 00:23:59,508 Speaker 3: and congratulate him on. And now Blake the same. It 540 00:23:59,548 --> 00:24:01,708 Speaker 3: sounds like has happened to you in the last few weeks. 541 00:24:01,748 --> 00:24:03,908 Speaker 3: What's life look like in the corm household right now? 542 00:24:03,948 --> 00:24:05,748 Speaker 3: Give us an update on your newest edition. 543 00:24:06,588 --> 00:24:08,868 Speaker 4: Uh yes, my daughter, my daughter, Zara. 544 00:24:10,388 --> 00:24:11,988 Speaker 11: It's it's been nothing but amazing. 545 00:24:12,228 --> 00:24:15,668 Speaker 18: Uh you know, I couldn't imagine, you know, life now 546 00:24:15,708 --> 00:24:17,828 Speaker 18: without her and my wife and uh so. 547 00:24:18,268 --> 00:24:19,548 Speaker 4: Look, you know, sleepless nights. 548 00:24:20,148 --> 00:24:22,708 Speaker 18: But you know she she's not doing she's doing really good. 549 00:24:22,708 --> 00:24:24,148 Speaker 11: And so now I can't complain. 550 00:24:24,188 --> 00:24:26,788 Speaker 18: I'm blessed, you know, thank God every day for so 551 00:24:26,988 --> 00:24:28,268 Speaker 18: uh now, it's been amazing. 552 00:24:28,388 --> 00:24:29,508 Speaker 15: That's awesome.

Now you add 644 00:28:22,148 --> 00:28:25,228 Speaker 12: these two guys to that equation, how excited are you 645 00:28:25,428 --> 00:28:28,268 Speaker 12: about your defense in that division, the NFC. 646 00:28:28,108 --> 00:28:29,788 Speaker 15: South and their ability to take the ball away as 647 00:28:29,788 --> 00:28:30,068 Speaker 15: they do? 648 00:28:30,308 --> 00:28:30,468 Speaker 6: Yeah? 649 00:28:30,508 --> 00:28:32,668 Speaker 20: Absolutely, And then you know, Devin Lloyd had a really 650 00:28:32,708 --> 00:28:35,788 Speaker 20: productive year on the ball, some interceptions, some incredible plays 651 00:28:35,868 --> 00:28:39,468 Speaker 20: last year, and of course Jalen's just always harassing the quarterback, 652 00:28:39,868 --> 00:28:42,468 Speaker 20: just a really disruptive player. And we hope that with 653 00:28:42,508 --> 00:28:44,308 Speaker 20: those two guys, you know, we can create a little 654 00:28:44,308 --> 00:28:47,308 Speaker 20: bit more production on the ball on the defensive side. 655 00:28:47,348 --> 00:28:49,228 Speaker 20: And those turnovers, you know, if you get one more 656 00:28:49,268 --> 00:28:52,428 Speaker 20: than the opponent, it really increases your chances of winning. 657 00:28:52,428 --> 00:28:54,668 Speaker 20: You know, it's something like seventy six percent for us 658 00:28:54,708 --> 00:28:57,588 Speaker 20: in Carolina when we have a plus one turnover ratio. 659 00:28:57,708 --> 00:29:00,108 Speaker 20: So they're a big part of that, you know, and 660 00:29:00,268 --> 00:29:02,428 Speaker 20: it's also just about the style and attitude we played 661 00:29:02,508 --> 00:29:05,228 Speaker 20: Jacksonville Week one, and you know, I could just sense 662 00:29:05,228 --> 00:29:08,828 Speaker 20: that this group played eleven is one and that's what 663 00:29:08,868 --> 00:29:11,388 Speaker 20: Devin talked about. And then of course with Jalen, we 664 00:29:11,388 --> 00:29:14,708 Speaker 20: brought in Darryl Bevell, an assistant coach from the Dolphins, 665 00:29:14,908 --> 00:29:17,228 Speaker 20: and he said that Jalen's just one hundred miles an 666 00:29:17,268 --> 00:29:19,988 Speaker 20: hour every day and those are the type of guys 667 00:29:20,028 --> 00:29:21,308 Speaker 20: that we want to have in the locker room to 668 00:29:21,348 --> 00:29:24,228 Speaker 20: set an example and lead and play the play style 669 00:29:24,228 --> 00:29:25,268 Speaker 20: that the Panthers are looking for. 670 00:29:25,428 --> 00:29:28,868 Speaker 13: Coach, we're heading to year four for your quarterback, Bryce Young. 671 00:29:28,948 --> 00:29:31,868 Speaker 13: He's made a tremendous stride over the years. You being 672 00:29:31,868 --> 00:29:34,188 Speaker 13: an offensive minded, hey, coach, and him being a young 673 00:29:34,268 --> 00:29:36,668 Speaker 13: quarterback is important that you guys are on one page 674 00:29:36,748 --> 00:29:38,268 Speaker 13: as you guys are working through things. 675 00:29:38,068 --> 00:29:38,748 Speaker 4: In the offseason. 676 00:29:38,788 --> 00:29:40,548 Speaker 13: What are some of the elements of his game that 677 00:29:40,588 --> 00:29:42,388 Speaker 13: you guys are focusing on him improving on. 678 00:29:42,748 --> 00:29:45,588 Speaker 20: Yeah, focusing on at the line of scrimmage adjustments, being 679 00:29:45,588 --> 00:29:47,908 Speaker 20: able to play with tempo a little bit more parts 680 00:29:47,908 --> 00:29:50,508 Speaker 20: of our offenses we haven't really majored in, but I 681 00:29:50,588 --> 00:29:52,588 Speaker 20: know that Bryce can be really effective. And then what 682 00:29:52,628 --> 00:29:54,308 Speaker 20: we saw at the end of last season is just 683 00:29:54,388 --> 00:29:58,068 Speaker 20: Bryce taking advantage of different looks to signal to our guys, 684 00:29:58,108 --> 00:30:00,668 Speaker 20: signal to Jalen Cocher, to t Mac when he's got 685 00:30:00,748 --> 00:30:03,708 Speaker 20: those matchups based on the coverage and really being able 686 00:30:03,748 --> 00:30:07,228 Speaker 20: to strike and make explosives in those situations, and so 687 00:30:07,668 --> 00:30:10,228 Speaker 20: wanting to give him more opportunities and more tools like 688 00:30:10,268 --> 00:30:12,548 Speaker 20: that at the line of scrimmage, and he's ready for it. 689 00:30:12,628 --> 00:30:15,268 Speaker 20: He knows how to utilize it. He's great with protections, 690 00:30:15,268 --> 00:30:17,228 Speaker 20: and we want to make sure that continues to be 691 00:30:17,268 --> 00:30:19,308 Speaker 20: a part of our offense so that we're aggressive and 692 00:30:19,348 --> 00:30:20,628 Speaker 20: have that attacking mindset. 693 00:30:20,868 --> 00:30:21,588 Speaker 4: Nice coaches. 694 00:30:21,668 --> 00:30:24,788 Speaker 16: Wildcard Round last year, he had to lead late, but 695 00:30:24,828 --> 00:30:26,908 Speaker 16: he ended up falling to the Rams thirty four to 696 00:30:26,908 --> 00:30:30,148 Speaker 16: thirty one. I'm sure you spent the entire offseason thinking 697 00:30:30,188 --> 00:30:32,788 Speaker 16: about it, as we all do at these kinds of losses. 698 00:30:32,788 --> 00:30:35,508 Speaker 16: But in terms of looking forward and growth as a team, 699 00:30:35,788 --> 00:30:38,148 Speaker 16: what did you learn from the game and as a team, 700 00:30:38,188 --> 00:30:39,708 Speaker 16: and really for you personally as a coach. 701 00:30:40,108 --> 00:30:41,908 Speaker 20: Just makes me excited to know that we have a 702 00:30:41,948 --> 00:30:45,028 Speaker 20: group when we're facing these high stakes moments and these 703 00:30:45,068 --> 00:30:47,628 Speaker 20: critical games, they'll come through for us, starting with Bryce. 704 00:30:47,868 --> 00:30:50,028 Speaker 20: And this is something that Dan Morgan and I have 705 00:30:50,068 --> 00:30:52,388 Speaker 20: talked about a lot is if we can build a 706 00:30:52,428 --> 00:30:55,308 Speaker 20: team that gets us to these high stakes moments, whether 707 00:30:55,348 --> 00:30:57,188 Speaker 20: it's to win the division, whether it's to be in 708 00:30:57,228 --> 00:30:59,668 Speaker 20: the playoff games, He'll come through for us and he'll perform. 709 00:31:00,028 --> 00:31:01,068 Speaker 6: We're excited about that. 710 00:31:01,148 --> 00:31:02,988 Speaker 20: And then of course just the defense being able to 711 00:31:02,988 --> 00:31:04,188 Speaker 20: have consistency down the. 712 00:31:04,108 --> 00:31:05,668 Speaker 6: Stretch and play together. 713 00:31:05,788 --> 00:31:07,948 Speaker 20: Played that good type of football, so you know, but 714 00:31:08,068 --> 00:31:11,988 Speaker 20: right away that last drive, you know, Matt Stafford NFL MVP, 715 00:31:12,508 --> 00:31:14,428 Speaker 20: he was all of that on that last drive with 716 00:31:14,508 --> 00:31:17,188 Speaker 20: an incredible throw, Trey Merrick's in a great position on 717 00:31:17,228 --> 00:31:20,548 Speaker 20: the pass to Koby Parkinson, an unbelievable throw, a great 718 00:31:20,588 --> 00:31:21,908 Speaker 20: catch and scoring the touchdown. 719 00:31:21,948 --> 00:31:22,708 Speaker 6: So they earned it. 720 00:31:22,788 --> 00:31:24,868 Speaker 20: But immediately Dad and I said, okay, we got to 721 00:31:24,868 --> 00:31:26,708 Speaker 20: affect the quarterback and we got to be able. 722 00:31:26,548 --> 00:31:27,348 Speaker 6: To rush the passer. 723 00:31:27,708 --> 00:31:30,028 Speaker 20: We attacked that in free agency with Devin and of 724 00:31:30,068 --> 00:31:33,108 Speaker 20: course with Jalen Phillips. So we're excited about that to 725 00:31:33,108 --> 00:31:34,908 Speaker 20: see if we can add anybody else in the draft 726 00:31:35,028 --> 00:31:37,028 Speaker 20: might give us some versatility to be able to attack 727 00:31:37,548 --> 00:31:38,788 Speaker 20: teams in the pass game. 728 00:31:39,068 --> 00:31:40,788 Speaker 3: Coach I was in Green Bay last year when the 729 00:31:40,788 --> 00:31:43,428 Speaker 3: Panther selected Teserah McMillan, it was such a thrill, I'm 730 00:31:43,428 --> 00:31:45,948 Speaker 3: sure for you and Bryce Young to include him in 731 00:31:45,988 --> 00:31:47,948 Speaker 3: your offense. If you were in a room in the 732 00:31:47,988 --> 00:31:50,308 Speaker 3: next couple of weeks with Dan Morgan and you could 733 00:31:50,308 --> 00:31:53,068 Speaker 3: whisper one position group into his ear. Since you have 734 00:31:53,148 --> 00:31:56,908 Speaker 3: the nineteenth overall pick, what are you suggesting if you're 735 00:31:56,948 --> 00:31:59,428 Speaker 3: in that room and you're having a collaborative idea session. 736 00:31:59,628 --> 00:32:02,468 Speaker 20: I honestly, the moves we've made in a free agency 737 00:32:02,468 --> 00:32:04,748 Speaker 20: has really opened us up to just take the best player. 738 00:32:04,788 --> 00:32:06,548 Speaker 20: And that's what we did with t Mac last year. 739 00:32:06,828 --> 00:32:08,628 Speaker 20: You know, we sat there with that number eight spot 740 00:32:08,668 --> 00:32:11,428 Speaker 20: and we said, Okay, somebody's got to have a significant 741 00:32:11,468 --> 00:32:15,188 Speaker 20: advantage every single play for us to select them this 742 00:32:15,268 --> 00:32:18,908 Speaker 20: high in the draft. Team Mac with the height, the versatility, 743 00:32:19,028 --> 00:32:22,228 Speaker 20: the ability to run routes, attacking the ball with his hands, 744 00:32:22,308 --> 00:32:25,068 Speaker 20: is run after catch, all of those things, we said, Okay, 745 00:32:25,148 --> 00:32:27,348 Speaker 20: this guy has the most advantage. We're going to look 746 00:32:27,348 --> 00:32:29,428 Speaker 20: at that the same way we're going to look across 747 00:32:29,428 --> 00:32:31,268 Speaker 20: the board and say, who can make an impact on 748 00:32:31,308 --> 00:32:34,028 Speaker 20: this team right now? Because that's typically what first rounders do, 749 00:32:34,108 --> 00:32:36,588 Speaker 20: and so we are going to look at it that way, 750 00:32:36,628 --> 00:32:39,308 Speaker 20: and who knows it may be another receiver might turn 751 00:32:39,428 --> 00:32:41,868 Speaker 20: the heads up and if the right if the right 752 00:32:41,948 --> 00:32:45,148 Speaker 20: rusher is there, you know, you know, certainly we haven't 753 00:32:45,188 --> 00:32:47,508 Speaker 20: drafted an offensive lineman in two years, and we'll be 754 00:32:47,508 --> 00:32:49,828 Speaker 20: looking at that as well. But who can impact our 755 00:32:49,868 --> 00:32:52,148 Speaker 20: team and who can give us that significant advantage? 756 00:32:52,268 --> 00:32:52,548 Speaker 15: Coach? 757 00:32:52,588 --> 00:32:55,268 Speaker 12: I know somebody who has a significant advantage. I'm very 758 00:32:55,268 --> 00:32:57,748 Speaker 12: particular about my haircut and I was scrolling through some 759 00:32:57,868 --> 00:33:01,388 Speaker 12: social media and did I hear correctly that you cut 760 00:33:01,428 --> 00:33:02,388 Speaker 12: your own hair? 761 00:33:02,668 --> 00:33:03,588 Speaker 4: Is that correct? 762 00:33:03,948 --> 00:33:06,588 Speaker 12: That is it's a significant advantage if you're asking me 763 00:33:06,628 --> 00:33:07,348 Speaker 12: a coach. 764 00:33:07,268 --> 00:33:09,148 Speaker 20: Man, I saved a lot of money over the years, 765 00:33:09,308 --> 00:33:14,268 Speaker 20: so the college made a little change in college, you know. 766 00:33:14,308 --> 00:33:16,108 Speaker 20: And then of course in COVID, no one was more 767 00:33:16,108 --> 00:33:18,708 Speaker 20: popular than me. Nobody wanted to burst the bubble. So 768 00:33:18,828 --> 00:33:21,188 Speaker 20: all the guys on staff, sometimes the players will be 769 00:33:21,188 --> 00:33:23,748 Speaker 20: lining up quick edge up or something like that before 770 00:33:23,748 --> 00:33:26,028 Speaker 20: we get on the plane. But yeah, it's a family 771 00:33:26,068 --> 00:33:29,468 Speaker 20: heritage thing. Probably, like the most precious thing I have 772 00:33:29,548 --> 00:33:32,068 Speaker 20: in my house is a one hundred plus year old hairbrush. 773 00:33:32,348 --> 00:33:35,468 Speaker 20: Horse hairbrush wouldn't handle. So my wife and I kid 774 00:33:35,468 --> 00:33:37,068 Speaker 20: all the time. It's like if the house is burning, 775 00:33:37,428 --> 00:33:40,468 Speaker 20: grab the kids, grab their book with our associals, with 776 00:33:40,508 --> 00:33:43,628 Speaker 20: our visas and not our passports and all that, and 777 00:33:43,668 --> 00:33:45,148 Speaker 20: grab the hairbrush and let's get out of here. 778 00:33:46,068 --> 00:33:47,548 Speaker 11: Put it on the list, coach. 779 00:33:47,548 --> 00:33:49,788 Speaker 3: I'm not going to ask you whether you lined anybody 780 00:33:49,908 --> 00:33:52,108 Speaker 3: up before the coaches photo yesterday. You can keep that 781 00:33:52,188 --> 00:33:54,908 Speaker 3: between you and your buddies who are fellow NFL head coaches. 782 00:33:55,148 --> 00:33:57,828 Speaker 3: But this is truly a time honor tradition that we 783 00:33:57,988 --> 00:34:01,548 Speaker 3: chair share on GMFB. We've seen the thirty one coaches 784 00:34:01,588 --> 00:34:06,228 Speaker 3: that were photographed this year's NFL Head Coach's picture, and 785 00:34:06,388 --> 00:34:09,388 Speaker 3: our friend Kyle Brandt took his time away from his 786 00:34:09,508 --> 00:34:13,268 Speaker 3: vacation with his family to give a breakdown of the 787 00:34:13,268 --> 00:34:16,548 Speaker 3: photo and specifically the upper left hand corner in which 788 00:34:16,588 --> 00:34:18,468 Speaker 3: you occupied. Let's take a listen to this. 789 00:34:19,828 --> 00:34:21,428 Speaker 2: I think Sean McVay didn't want to showup because he 790 00:34:21,428 --> 00:34:25,388 Speaker 2: didn't want to be putting next to Dave Canalis. Oh, 791 00:34:25,428 --> 00:34:29,548 Speaker 2: baby unbuttoned? Is that Egyptian cotton in that show? What 792 00:34:29,628 --> 00:34:31,628 Speaker 2: is the thread cut?
