1
00:00:04,428 --> 00:00:06,668
Speaker 1: Good Morning Football is the production of the NFL in

2
00:00:06,748 --> 00:00:33,188
Speaker 1: partnership with iHeartRadio.

3
00:00:22,388 --> 00:00:24,868
Speaker 2: Good Morning Football in Miami.

4
00:00:24,948 --> 00:00:29,108
Speaker 3: Dolphins reportedly because and when our NFL network inside are

5
00:00:29,108 --> 00:00:32,068
Speaker 3: Ian Rappaport and Toalm tellisera tweet something gotta pay attention

6
00:00:32,748 --> 00:00:36,588
Speaker 3: the Dolphins and seven time Pro Bowl cornerback reportedly Jalen Ramsey,

7
00:00:36,628 --> 00:00:41,188
Speaker 3: they have mutually agreed to explore trade options moving forward.

8
00:00:41,268 --> 00:00:43,308
Speaker 2: Now, this would not.

9
00:00:43,268 --> 00:00:46,268
Speaker 3: Be a surprise if you see Jalen Ramsey playing on

10
00:00:46,308 --> 00:00:49,868
Speaker 3: someone else's defense in twenty twenty five. This a lot

11
00:00:49,908 --> 00:00:51,388
Speaker 3: has to do with the fact that he's doing twenty

12
00:00:51,428 --> 00:00:55,748
Speaker 3: five million dollars guaranteed next season. And Jalen Ramsey, you know,

13
00:00:55,868 --> 00:00:58,908
Speaker 3: has been an excellent cornerback in his career, but he's

14
00:00:58,908 --> 00:01:02,748
Speaker 3: played for a several different teams, several different defenses and coordinators.

15
00:01:02,748 --> 00:01:05,588
Speaker 3: So when you look at the Dolphins stillman logan, I'll

16
00:01:05,588 --> 00:01:08,348
Speaker 3: start with you, perhaps the direction this team is going in,

17
00:01:08,628 --> 00:01:10,548
Speaker 3: but also the Jalen Ramsey direction as well.

18
00:01:10,548 --> 00:01:12,068
Speaker 2: What do you make of this current situation?

19
00:01:12,108 --> 00:01:13,748
Speaker 4: Well, I think of the first word that comes to mind,

20
00:01:13,788 --> 00:01:17,588
Speaker 4: a word it's so overplayed in the NFL and pro football,

21
00:01:17,708 --> 00:01:21,188
Speaker 4: is culture or lack thereof like, what is Miami's culture?

22
00:01:21,428 --> 00:01:23,388
Speaker 4: And the thing is they don't have one, you know,

23
00:01:23,428 --> 00:01:25,628
Speaker 4: And I know I was taught earlier in my career

24
00:01:25,628 --> 00:01:29,108
Speaker 4: that cultures who you are when you're losing, not when

25
00:01:29,108 --> 00:01:30,988
Speaker 4: you're winning, not when you're going fast, not when you're

26
00:01:30,988 --> 00:01:33,708
Speaker 4: scoring seventy points a game. It's when things aren't working

27
00:01:33,708 --> 00:01:34,188
Speaker 4: out well.

28
00:01:34,508 --> 00:01:35,668
Speaker 5: And now all I know is.

29
00:01:35,588 --> 00:01:37,348
Speaker 4: These last couple of years, obviously two has had some

30
00:01:37,428 --> 00:01:41,628
Speaker 4: injury problems, right, Kalaias Campbell gone, Christian Wilkins gone, Tyreek

31
00:01:41,668 --> 00:01:43,988
Speaker 4: wants to trade every other week, and now Jalen Ramsey.

32
00:01:43,668 --> 00:01:44,388
Speaker 5: Wants a trade.

33
00:01:44,508 --> 00:01:46,708
Speaker 4: So that's not really good when when you're not winning

34
00:01:46,708 --> 00:01:49,428
Speaker 4: and all your star players won out or aren't here anymore.

35
00:01:49,468 --> 00:01:51,748
Speaker 4: I think this puts a big target on Mike McDaniel's back.

36
00:01:51,948 --> 00:01:54,708
Speaker 4: It's not working in Miami, and that's a fast city

37
00:01:54,708 --> 00:01:56,708
Speaker 4: to live in off the field too, so you definitely

38
00:01:56,748 --> 00:01:58,548
Speaker 4: need some of that leadership on the field. I don't

39
00:01:58,588 --> 00:02:00,948
Speaker 4: know who their leaders are, but don't I don't really

40
00:02:00,988 --> 00:02:02,388
Speaker 4: see that when I see guys like this in the

41
00:02:02,468 --> 00:02:04,508
Speaker 4: locker room coming off some losing seasons or not the

42
00:02:04,548 --> 00:02:07,188
Speaker 4: best seasons, and every star player wants to trade. That

43
00:02:07,228 --> 00:02:09,228
Speaker 4: can't be you know, speaking too many high volumes of

44
00:02:09,228 --> 00:02:10,428
Speaker 4: culture in that building.

45
00:02:10,588 --> 00:02:12,748
Speaker 6: Yeah, and that's the thing that's concerning. When he first

46
00:02:12,788 --> 00:02:14,948
Speaker 6: got hired, it was like, okay, like it's a fun

47
00:02:15,028 --> 00:02:18,028
Speaker 6: offensive system coming from Shanahan. They getting all these weapons

48
00:02:18,068 --> 00:02:21,348
Speaker 6: they trade for Tyreek and like everything is explosive. But anytime,

49
00:02:21,428 --> 00:02:24,468
Speaker 6: as you mentioned that, you're building a team to this magnitude,

50
00:02:24,548 --> 00:02:26,988
Speaker 6: it is always about culture. Even I go back to

51
00:02:27,068 --> 00:02:29,588
Speaker 6: the Browns when they had OBJ, they had Jarvis Landger.

52
00:02:29,788 --> 00:02:31,588
Speaker 6: I mean that team was loaded, But I remember a

53
00:02:31,628 --> 00:02:33,468
Speaker 6: coach on the staff he said, I'm still concerned about

54
00:02:33,468 --> 00:02:35,708
Speaker 6: the culture. Right now, I'm coaching at of high school.

55
00:02:35,708 --> 00:02:38,068
Speaker 6: We'll getting you know, now high school's crazy with the transfers.

56
00:02:38,428 --> 00:02:40,268
Speaker 6: I told the coach, I'm like, look, it's about the

57
00:02:40,308 --> 00:02:42,548
Speaker 6: culture and just based on how things are going, you're

58
00:02:42,588 --> 00:02:45,748
Speaker 6: hearing so many things coming out of Miami that aren't positive.

59
00:02:45,788 --> 00:02:49,028
Speaker 6: That's not about them potentially competing in the playoffs. It's

60
00:02:49,028 --> 00:02:52,588
Speaker 6: about them guys wanting to be this. It's mutually part

61
00:02:52,628 --> 00:02:55,028
Speaker 6: of way. So Pilly he wants to get out of himself.

62
00:02:55,668 --> 00:02:58,188
Speaker 7: Yeah, I would say this Miami team was a team

63
00:02:58,228 --> 00:02:59,748
Speaker 7: that we looked at as a team that could have

64
00:02:59,748 --> 00:03:02,068
Speaker 7: potentially competed. You know, they had too of the helmet,

65
00:03:02,068 --> 00:03:07,708
Speaker 7: the quarterback, you have Tyreek j Wado, you have explosive

66
00:03:07,788 --> 00:03:11,428
Speaker 7: backs where he mosted was back there. And then even

67
00:03:11,468 --> 00:03:13,908
Speaker 7: on defense, you know you brought in Jalen Ramsey, you

68
00:03:13,988 --> 00:03:17,308
Speaker 7: had Christian Wilkins, Kaleis Campbell, Javon Holland who they let

69
00:03:17,348 --> 00:03:19,748
Speaker 7: go and go to New York. So it feels like,

70
00:03:19,948 --> 00:03:21,108
Speaker 7: you know, I don't want to say they're in a

71
00:03:21,148 --> 00:03:24,108
Speaker 7: rebuild or they're they're moving towards that, but moving away

72
00:03:24,148 --> 00:03:27,028
Speaker 7: from all of your star pieces and everything. It doesn't

73
00:03:27,068 --> 00:03:30,548
Speaker 7: look like it's a very prosperous situation right now in Miami.

74
00:03:30,668 --> 00:03:32,108
Speaker 5: But hopefully they can turn it around.

75
00:03:32,348 --> 00:03:35,148
Speaker 4: I compare it to if you're renovating a house, right

76
00:03:35,148 --> 00:03:36,828
Speaker 4: you come and you get a runout house, and we're

77
00:03:36,828 --> 00:03:38,948
Speaker 4: gonna put the new windows in painted black, you know,

78
00:03:38,988 --> 00:03:41,548
Speaker 4: white house, black door. Everything looks good on the inside,

79
00:03:41,708 --> 00:03:44,588
Speaker 4: it's gonna sell real quick. But then earthquake hits or

80
00:03:44,708 --> 00:03:46,428
Speaker 4: hurricane quits. Now that basement's flooded.

81
00:03:46,468 --> 00:03:47,668
Speaker 5: Oh you didn't right pipe the house.

82
00:03:47,668 --> 00:03:53,668
Speaker 2: Oh yeah, aside the situation unfold.

83
00:03:53,788 --> 00:03:55,988
Speaker 4: The ceiling's got a week, and that guy gets pretty costly,

84
00:03:56,028 --> 00:03:57,748
Speaker 4: you know, and I just don't think he really went

85
00:03:57,788 --> 00:04:00,428
Speaker 4: through and built the foundation correctly. And it was it

86
00:04:00,468 --> 00:04:02,028
Speaker 4: was a cool little house for a couple of years,

87
00:04:02,028 --> 00:04:03,348
Speaker 4: but I think that house is coming down.

88
00:04:03,468 --> 00:04:05,708
Speaker 3: What about Jalen rams as a player, Nick, was that

89
00:04:05,788 --> 00:04:07,908
Speaker 3: somebody that you watched when you were younger, when you

90
00:04:07,948 --> 00:04:10,148
Speaker 3: were in college? Like, what is your experience watching Jalen

91
00:04:10,228 --> 00:04:12,708
Speaker 3: Ramsey and the impact that he had on defensive backs?

92
00:04:12,988 --> 00:04:14,988
Speaker 7: Well, I'd say I was a Florida State fan growing up,

93
00:04:15,068 --> 00:04:17,988
Speaker 7: so I mean watching him at Florida State. Obviously he's infamous.

94
00:04:18,348 --> 00:04:21,708
Speaker 7: You liked that video interview after one of his games.

95
00:04:21,748 --> 00:04:23,628
Speaker 7: But one of the things I liked about him is

96
00:04:23,668 --> 00:04:27,228
Speaker 7: his physicality. You know, I played for Gus Bradley who

97
00:04:27,268 --> 00:04:30,748
Speaker 7: coached him when he was in in Jacksonville, and you know,

98
00:04:31,148 --> 00:04:33,748
Speaker 7: we watched his tape and it's just very explosive, very violent,

99
00:04:34,468 --> 00:04:36,388
Speaker 7: went in locked up the number one receiver, you know.

100
00:04:36,388 --> 00:04:38,228
Speaker 7: Obviously you saw him getting to it with aj Brown

101
00:04:38,308 --> 00:04:41,828
Speaker 7: and different receivers and everything. And he's just the testament

102
00:04:41,908 --> 00:04:44,708
Speaker 7: of consistency over the past couple of years. I would

103
00:04:44,748 --> 00:04:46,468
Speaker 7: never write him off as a as a corner or

104
00:04:46,508 --> 00:04:49,548
Speaker 7: even as a nickel. You know, he played well and Jacksonville,

105
00:04:49,548 --> 00:04:51,788
Speaker 7: he played well in Los Angeles and even in Miami

106
00:04:52,268 --> 00:04:54,908
Speaker 7: hens reason he got the extension. So just to see

107
00:04:54,988 --> 00:04:57,428
Speaker 7: him get the extension, and you know, for them to

108
00:04:57,468 --> 00:04:59,308
Speaker 7: be so ready to move on at this point, it's

109
00:04:59,428 --> 00:05:00,068
Speaker 7: it's crazy.

110
00:05:00,268 --> 00:05:02,868
Speaker 3: Well it's it is crazy to see the different stops

111
00:05:02,868 --> 00:05:05,668
Speaker 3: for such a talented player. But that position group, I

112
00:05:05,748 --> 00:05:07,628
Speaker 3: have to imagine that that is a type of player

113
00:05:07,628 --> 00:05:09,988
Speaker 3: that could go jump in on any defense and perhaps

114
00:05:10,028 --> 00:05:10,788
Speaker 3: make an impact.

115
00:05:10,788 --> 00:05:12,468
Speaker 2: It just might have to be the right situation.

116
00:05:12,748 --> 00:05:16,628
Speaker 6: Yeah. No, And for him, just for Jalen alone, I

117
00:05:16,668 --> 00:05:18,788
Speaker 6: think he's a great corner, but I think he shines

118
00:05:18,828 --> 00:05:21,148
Speaker 6: brighter when he's at safety. Like he is a very

119
00:05:21,148 --> 00:05:25,548
Speaker 6: smart guy. He's absolutely outstandings from being athletic. And when

120
00:05:25,588 --> 00:05:27,308
Speaker 6: he was with the Rams of Rohie Morris, he was

121
00:05:27,348 --> 00:05:29,548
Speaker 6: playing the star position, which is like the nickel where

122
00:05:29,588 --> 00:05:32,068
Speaker 6: he was able to move around cover different guys. He

123
00:05:32,108 --> 00:05:34,188
Speaker 6: can cover the slot, cover the tight end, cover whoever.

124
00:05:34,428 --> 00:05:36,508
Speaker 6: And I think he's more suited for that road just

125
00:05:36,548 --> 00:05:39,628
Speaker 6: to be locked in on one side, sure, like he'll

126
00:05:39,668 --> 00:05:41,708
Speaker 6: do a good job, but I think he's more beneficial

127
00:05:42,028 --> 00:05:44,028
Speaker 6: when he's in the middle the field because that's where

128
00:05:44,148 --> 00:05:46,468
Speaker 6: quarterbacks will now for sure account for him. So I

129
00:05:46,468 --> 00:05:48,628
Speaker 6: think that's where he shines more if he were to

130
00:05:48,668 --> 00:05:49,308
Speaker 6: go somewhere else.

131
00:05:49,428 --> 00:05:51,468
Speaker 3: In the last couple of years, other names have bubbled

132
00:05:51,468 --> 00:05:53,668
Speaker 3: to the surface, but I remember being on the sideline

133
00:05:53,708 --> 00:05:55,788
Speaker 3: for a lot of games and quarterbacks when just as

134
00:05:55,828 --> 00:05:58,708
Speaker 3: point blaying like, who is somebody who's nightmare material for

135
00:05:58,788 --> 00:06:02,348
Speaker 3: this position? Jalen Ramsey certainly qualifies, and perhaps he can

136
00:06:02,388 --> 00:06:04,268
Speaker 3: go to another team because it doesn't sound like he'll

137
00:06:04,268 --> 00:06:06,588
Speaker 3: be in Miami next fall. Speaking of quarterbacks, you've got

138
00:06:06,588 --> 00:06:09,508
Speaker 3: a thirty one year old quarterback in Dak Prescott looking

139
00:06:09,548 --> 00:06:12,468
Speaker 3: to work his way back next season from a season

140
00:06:12,628 --> 00:06:15,548
Speaker 3: ending hamstring injury that he suffered in Week nine last year.

141
00:06:15,628 --> 00:06:18,908
Speaker 3: So recently at a charity gala, he was asked about

142
00:06:18,948 --> 00:06:20,228
Speaker 3: his health status.

143
00:06:20,308 --> 00:06:21,908
Speaker 2: Take a listen and were I talk about the Cowboys.

144
00:06:21,988 --> 00:06:23,468
Speaker 5: Yeah, I'm getting closer to where I want to be.

145
00:06:23,748 --> 00:06:25,828
Speaker 5: I don't want to put a percentage on it. I

146
00:06:25,948 --> 00:06:27,828
Speaker 5: know we've got team activities coming up.

147
00:06:28,388 --> 00:06:31,748
Speaker 8: Imagine myself being involved in some sort if not all,

148
00:06:32,388 --> 00:06:34,628
Speaker 8: But then again, understanding right my age, what I had,

149
00:06:34,668 --> 00:06:37,188
Speaker 8: what I've went through is it's about getting getting to

150
00:06:37,228 --> 00:06:38,868
Speaker 8: the fall and being my best in the fall.

151
00:06:38,988 --> 00:06:41,148
Speaker 5: So not rushing anything. But I'm where I want to be.

152
00:06:41,468 --> 00:06:46,588
Speaker 9: Slimpathy, slim, whatever you want to call me, but uh yeah,

153
00:06:46,628 --> 00:06:50,388
Speaker 9: real slimshon, I'm just kidding. I actually I haven't really

154
00:06:50,388 --> 00:06:53,428
Speaker 9: lost any weight over by the same uh weights to

155
00:06:53,548 --> 00:06:56,308
Speaker 9: just move building my legs back up obviously from the hamstring.

156
00:06:57,308 --> 00:06:58,548
Speaker 8: Might be leaner up top, but.

157
00:06:58,828 --> 00:06:59,508
Speaker 5: Waits the same.

158
00:07:00,628 --> 00:07:02,588
Speaker 3: It's a valid observation because I do think he does

159
00:07:02,628 --> 00:07:03,348
Speaker 3: a leaner up top.

160
00:07:03,388 --> 00:07:05,788
Speaker 2: I actually think I'm going he acknowledged that, But I

161
00:07:05,828 --> 00:07:08,428
Speaker 2: just saw the bow tie. The bow type place. I

162
00:07:08,428 --> 00:07:10,748
Speaker 2: had not seen that. We had a lot of charity events,

163
00:07:10,788 --> 00:07:11,868
Speaker 2: but the bull tie tracks.

164
00:07:12,108 --> 00:07:14,308
Speaker 7: He's someone who I've watched over the years, you know,

165
00:07:14,388 --> 00:07:15,868
Speaker 7: puts it on for game day and everything.

166
00:07:15,868 --> 00:07:17,068
Speaker 5: That's a pretty good look.

167
00:07:17,148 --> 00:07:19,228
Speaker 2: That's a good look right there. Okay, Nick Cross.

168
00:07:19,028 --> 00:07:21,348
Speaker 4: Tide tomorrow, Nick Cross, both.

169
00:07:21,148 --> 00:07:23,148
Speaker 2: Tide tomorrow exactly? All right?

170
00:07:23,268 --> 00:07:25,708
Speaker 3: Is he a top ten quarterback? This is always a conversation.

171
00:07:25,828 --> 00:07:28,268
Speaker 3: It's kind of like the is Joe Flacco elite?

172
00:07:28,428 --> 00:07:31,108
Speaker 2: It's like a new era of that. Dak Prescott.

173
00:07:31,148 --> 00:07:33,148
Speaker 3: Is he still a top ten quarterback after all that

174
00:07:33,188 --> 00:07:34,028
Speaker 3: he's been through, do you.

175
00:07:33,988 --> 00:07:35,708
Speaker 4: Think, well, you know, with the top ten thing, I

176
00:07:35,708 --> 00:07:37,628
Speaker 4: think we're all quick to say, yeah, he's top ten,

177
00:07:37,708 --> 00:07:40,148
Speaker 4: Deck's good player. But then I had to do the numbers.

178
00:07:40,268 --> 00:07:41,588
Speaker 4: I had to really, you know, I had to make

179
00:07:41,628 --> 00:07:43,868
Speaker 4: sure my numbers is their room. But the take the

180
00:07:43,948 --> 00:07:46,348
Speaker 4: numbers numbering, you know what I'm saying. And when I

181
00:07:46,428 --> 00:07:48,948
Speaker 4: did that, I think he just misses out. And here

182
00:07:48,948 --> 00:07:50,788
Speaker 4: why I'm going to list him for you guys, right,

183
00:07:51,068 --> 00:07:54,548
Speaker 4: and this is no particular order. It's just a category, right,

184
00:07:54,708 --> 00:07:55,468
Speaker 4: and they put him in an.

185
00:07:55,428 --> 00:07:56,668
Speaker 2: Order here, So don't hold me to this.

186
00:07:57,948 --> 00:07:59,348
Speaker 5: We got my homes.

187
00:07:59,028 --> 00:08:03,188
Speaker 4: Alan Lamar Jackson really right, Burrow, that's an upper echelon

188
00:08:03,268 --> 00:08:05,268
Speaker 4: right there. Then you got it hurts up there right

189
00:08:05,268 --> 00:08:06,988
Speaker 4: with what he's done in the playoffs. Whatever you think

190
00:08:06,988 --> 00:08:09,308
Speaker 4: about him or not, Jalen Hurts winning super Bowls, Matthew

191
00:08:09,348 --> 00:08:12,268
Speaker 4: Stafford still elite. In my opinion, Jaden Daniels is the

192
00:08:12,268 --> 00:08:14,468
Speaker 4: future of this league, guys. He is legit. So that

193
00:08:14,588 --> 00:08:16,988
Speaker 4: is my top seven quarterbacks. Dak is not touching that

194
00:08:17,028 --> 00:08:18,548
Speaker 4: top seven. I think we can all agree with that.

195
00:08:18,908 --> 00:08:19,308
Speaker 5: All right.

196
00:08:19,348 --> 00:08:23,588
Speaker 4: Now, I have a next range here Jared golf Right,

197
00:08:23,628 --> 00:08:26,268
Speaker 4: I think is a really good quarterback. Baker Mayfield, I

198
00:08:26,268 --> 00:08:29,628
Speaker 4: think he's not going anywhere. Brock Perdy, I played with them.

199
00:08:29,628 --> 00:08:32,428
Speaker 4: Brock Perry is a winner. Justin Herbert. We know his

200
00:08:32,428 --> 00:08:35,388
Speaker 4: potentials to the route and Jordan love Right, and Dak

201
00:08:35,468 --> 00:08:38,508
Speaker 4: is somewhere in there. Is he in the top three

202
00:08:38,628 --> 00:08:40,908
Speaker 4: of the next five I'm missing out there. I don't know,

203
00:08:40,948 --> 00:08:42,708
Speaker 4: but I think that's why he missed out that top ten.

204
00:08:42,748 --> 00:08:44,628
Speaker 4: He's not in that top seven. He's in that next

205
00:08:44,988 --> 00:08:49,388
Speaker 4: you know, Jared golf Baker justin Herbert category, and I

206
00:08:49,388 --> 00:08:51,188
Speaker 4: think we will take those guys over Dak right now.

207
00:08:51,188 --> 00:08:52,548
Speaker 4: With the injuries recently, and it's.

208
00:08:52,388 --> 00:08:53,268
Speaker 2: Not all Dak's fault.

209
00:08:53,588 --> 00:08:55,988
Speaker 4: The system still goes through Dak since they haven't had

210
00:08:56,028 --> 00:08:58,068
Speaker 4: a running game in the last couple of years. Dallas's

211
00:08:58,068 --> 00:09:00,308
Speaker 4: offense goes through Dak. But what Dak is missing is

212
00:09:00,348 --> 00:09:03,068
Speaker 4: a put thorer wide receivers. He doesn't have Michael Gallup anymore.

213
00:09:03,068 --> 00:09:05,068
Speaker 4: He doesn't have Amari Cooper, a long CD Lamb. He

214
00:09:05,148 --> 00:09:08,028
Speaker 4: just has Ceedee Lamb. He doesn't have prime Ezekale Elliot anymore.

215
00:09:08,028 --> 00:09:09,788
Speaker 4: He does not have that running game that he had

216
00:09:09,788 --> 00:09:11,628
Speaker 4: when he had Tony Pollard and Ezekiel Elliott, so he

217
00:09:11,668 --> 00:09:14,108
Speaker 4: doesn't have the running game. That offensive line is older

218
00:09:14,308 --> 00:09:16,188
Speaker 4: than it has been in the years past when he

219
00:09:16,228 --> 00:09:19,108
Speaker 4: had a dominant offensive line. He does not have those receivers.

220
00:09:19,108 --> 00:09:21,628
Speaker 4: So all those reasons with the injuries is why Dak

221
00:09:21,708 --> 00:09:22,468
Speaker 4: is at the top ten for.

222
00:09:22,508 --> 00:09:25,228
Speaker 6: Me, based on everything you said, is why I will

223
00:09:25,308 --> 00:09:28,268
Speaker 6: keep him in the top ten and just alone, just

224
00:09:28,348 --> 00:09:30,388
Speaker 6: him as a franchise quarterback. You know, I had the

225
00:09:30,388 --> 00:09:32,948
Speaker 6: pleasure of spending the whole entire offseason with Dallas and

226
00:09:32,988 --> 00:09:34,948
Speaker 6: really got to sit there and got to know that

227
00:09:35,068 --> 00:09:36,908
Speaker 6: and got to watch how he offer. Is me right there,

228
00:09:37,188 --> 00:09:40,748
Speaker 6: coach blackman on the scene, and that's I really got

229
00:09:40,828 --> 00:09:43,108
Speaker 6: to understand, like the process, how he works, and he

230
00:09:43,548 --> 00:09:46,868
Speaker 6: me being around Farv and Rogers and Eli, like just

231
00:09:46,908 --> 00:09:49,268
Speaker 6: be around those quarterbacks. He fits in that mode in

232
00:09:49,348 --> 00:09:52,268
Speaker 6: terms of his professionalism and him understand the offense. And

233
00:09:52,348 --> 00:09:55,308
Speaker 6: I go back to yes, his best seasons. You know,

234
00:09:55,348 --> 00:09:57,348
Speaker 6: we're going back to nineteen when he had Zeke who

235
00:09:57,588 --> 00:09:59,748
Speaker 6: you know, I ran for over twelve hundred yards and

236
00:09:59,788 --> 00:10:02,628
Speaker 6: you had Amari Cooper and Ceedee Lamb. He had his weapons.

237
00:10:02,668 --> 00:10:04,148
Speaker 6: His other best year, he had the same thing a

238
00:10:04,588 --> 00:10:06,668
Speaker 6: Cooper's and Ceedee Lamb, and so then you go to

239
00:10:06,708 --> 00:10:08,508
Speaker 6: the other year we had Tony Pollard and Seed he

240
00:10:08,588 --> 00:10:11,108
Speaker 6: had his best season ever, he still had the weapons,

241
00:10:11,148 --> 00:10:14,268
Speaker 6: And I go to that list of like Mahomes has weapons,

242
00:10:14,588 --> 00:10:17,388
Speaker 6: Jalen hurts. You had Sirianni on record saying like, yeah,

243
00:10:17,428 --> 00:10:19,828
Speaker 6: you guys can say, like Mark quarterback would be nothing

244
00:10:19,868 --> 00:10:22,388
Speaker 6: without weapons, but we put weapons around him so he

245
00:10:22,428 --> 00:10:24,988
Speaker 6: can be productive. And I just feel like it's up

246
00:10:25,028 --> 00:10:28,028
Speaker 6: to again to Jerry Jones and the Cowboys to get

247
00:10:28,308 --> 00:10:30,388
Speaker 6: to get Dak the's weapons so that he can continue

248
00:10:30,388 --> 00:10:32,828
Speaker 6: to be productive. So I think when he does have

249
00:10:32,908 --> 00:10:35,028
Speaker 6: the right pieces around him, he continued to be a

250
00:10:35,068 --> 00:10:37,228
Speaker 6: top ten quarterback. I can see where golf because golf

251
00:10:37,268 --> 00:10:39,068
Speaker 6: took the Rams to the Super Bowl, and so I

252
00:10:39,068 --> 00:10:41,588
Speaker 6: can say, okay, and also what he's doing with Detroit,

253
00:10:41,628 --> 00:10:44,268
Speaker 6: But again Detroit has a pluthor or weapons for him

254
00:10:44,268 --> 00:10:46,708
Speaker 6: as well too, So I think I take that into

255
00:10:46,708 --> 00:10:47,628
Speaker 6: consideration with company.

256
00:10:47,628 --> 00:10:49,788
Speaker 4: You got Dak over golf, I have Dak over golf.

257
00:10:49,988 --> 00:10:50,908
Speaker 5: Okay, Okay, right.

258
00:10:51,428 --> 00:10:54,548
Speaker 7: I think when Dak is healthy in the regular season,

259
00:10:55,028 --> 00:10:56,868
Speaker 7: I think he's very effective. I think he's the top

260
00:10:56,908 --> 00:10:58,788
Speaker 7: ten quarterback in the regular season. Now we'll get to

261
00:10:58,788 --> 00:11:00,908
Speaker 7: the playoffs, it might be a different story. But when

262
00:11:00,908 --> 00:11:02,628
Speaker 7: he had those weapons, when he had Zeke, when he

263
00:11:02,668 --> 00:11:05,788
Speaker 7: had a dominant offensive line, he had tight ends, when

264
00:11:05,788 --> 00:11:08,508
Speaker 7: he had a planthorough of receivers, he was elite at

265
00:11:08,508 --> 00:11:10,988
Speaker 7: throwing the football, even you know last year being in

266
00:11:11,028 --> 00:11:13,948
Speaker 7: the MVP race, you know, all pro being able to

267
00:11:13,948 --> 00:11:16,788
Speaker 7: accomplish those things with that team. For me, I think

268
00:11:16,908 --> 00:11:19,028
Speaker 7: the separation comes when against the playoffs. You know, in

269
00:11:19,028 --> 00:11:20,268
Speaker 7: the playoffs you have to show up like you did

270
00:11:20,308 --> 00:11:23,468
Speaker 7: in the regular season, and unfortunately it hasn't shown up

271
00:11:23,508 --> 00:11:25,868
Speaker 7: like that for him and the Dallas Cowboys when they

272
00:11:25,868 --> 00:11:26,948
Speaker 7: get to that point.

273
00:11:27,468 --> 00:11:30,108
Speaker 3: So two questions, Well, I want to circle back to

274
00:11:30,188 --> 00:11:31,948
Speaker 3: the fact that you put him in the top ten

275
00:11:32,108 --> 00:11:34,388
Speaker 3: and you use words like because of how he operates

276
00:11:34,388 --> 00:11:37,548
Speaker 3: in his professionalism? Does that qualify? Are those qualifiers for

277
00:11:37,628 --> 00:11:40,148
Speaker 3: top ten quarterback play for you? Because I understand your

278
00:11:40,188 --> 00:11:42,268
Speaker 3: biases if you watched it, don't operate and.

279
00:11:42,268 --> 00:11:42,988
Speaker 2: You saw him as a human.

280
00:11:43,028 --> 00:11:46,268
Speaker 3: But like Logan's list is just like straight quarterback?

281
00:11:46,388 --> 00:11:47,108
Speaker 5: Yeah, straight?

282
00:11:47,708 --> 00:11:50,388
Speaker 6: In's the thing I added my proson experience because I

283
00:11:50,468 --> 00:11:53,908
Speaker 6: do have some contexts in terms of seeing what he

284
00:11:54,028 --> 00:11:55,108
Speaker 6: is as a quarterback.

285
00:11:55,588 --> 00:11:56,108
Speaker 5: But it does.

286
00:11:56,428 --> 00:11:58,548
Speaker 6: It does matter the fact that when he has his

287
00:11:58,628 --> 00:12:00,868
Speaker 6: wes weapons that are health or when he's healthy, and

288
00:12:00,908 --> 00:12:03,068
Speaker 6: when he does have his weapons, like things are going

289
00:12:03,108 --> 00:12:06,268
Speaker 6: well that are offense. Yeah, so I think it does matter, Like, Okay,

290
00:12:06,388 --> 00:12:09,508
Speaker 6: he doesn't the offensive line is a mess, or he's healthy,

291
00:12:09,668 --> 00:12:11,908
Speaker 6: or you know, the running game isn't as effective as

292
00:12:11,908 --> 00:12:14,788
Speaker 6: it has been. He has one receiver that is getting

293
00:12:14,788 --> 00:12:17,468
Speaker 6: triple team and double team all game long, you know,

294
00:12:17,628 --> 00:12:21,028
Speaker 6: and then you have guys on record who play for McCarthy,

295
00:12:21,108 --> 00:12:23,828
Speaker 6: like Greg Jenning's saying, like the office isn't as innovative

296
00:12:23,868 --> 00:12:25,748
Speaker 6: as it should be, Like we knew what was going

297
00:12:25,828 --> 00:12:27,628
Speaker 6: to be like every single week, he said, I watched

298
00:12:27,668 --> 00:12:29,748
Speaker 6: the games now and it's still the stuff that we

299
00:12:29,788 --> 00:12:32,188
Speaker 6: did when we were in Green Bay. And so there

300
00:12:32,188 --> 00:12:34,108
Speaker 6: are some things where he's still being able to play

301
00:12:34,148 --> 00:12:35,868
Speaker 6: above the exit of those that are given to him

302
00:12:36,108 --> 00:12:38,228
Speaker 6: despite not having the right pieces around him.

303
00:12:38,268 --> 00:12:40,148
Speaker 3: All Right, Nick, you're currently on a fifty three man

304
00:12:40,308 --> 00:12:40,748
Speaker 3: roster in the.

305
00:12:40,828 --> 00:12:43,228
Speaker 2: NFL Dak Prescott.

306
00:12:43,348 --> 00:12:45,828
Speaker 3: Last couple weeks back, it's the news that the Cowboys

307
00:12:45,828 --> 00:12:48,828
Speaker 3: have now traded for Joe Milton to bring him in

308
00:12:48,948 --> 00:12:51,468
Speaker 3: as another quarterback in the room. If you are on

309
00:12:51,548 --> 00:12:53,868
Speaker 3: that team, are you looking around the locker room like,

310
00:12:54,308 --> 00:12:56,948
Speaker 3: what's this about? What if the Cowboys draft a quarterback?

311
00:12:57,108 --> 00:13:00,348
Speaker 3: Are you watching the quarterback room in Dallas any differently?

312
00:13:00,828 --> 00:13:04,148
Speaker 3: Knowing what Dak has been through injury wise, performance wise,

313
00:13:04,148 --> 00:13:05,908
Speaker 3: play wise in the last couple of.

314
00:13:05,948 --> 00:13:08,748
Speaker 7: Years, I think teams are always looking to prepare for

315
00:13:08,788 --> 00:13:10,508
Speaker 7: the future, right you know, Dak, like he said, he's

316
00:13:10,548 --> 00:13:11,428
Speaker 7: thirty one years old.

317
00:13:11,588 --> 00:13:12,268
Speaker 5: He's getting up there.

318
00:13:12,308 --> 00:13:15,108
Speaker 7: He's had a couple of injuries, although when he is

319
00:13:15,188 --> 00:13:17,628
Speaker 7: playing in the regular season, you know, looking at his stats,

320
00:13:17,828 --> 00:13:20,108
Speaker 7: he has been effective. You know, outside of one year

321
00:13:20,188 --> 00:13:22,628
Speaker 7: that you know he went eight and eight, playing all sixteen.

322
00:13:22,868 --> 00:13:24,348
Speaker 7: All the rest of the years that he's played over

323
00:13:24,428 --> 00:13:27,548
Speaker 7: ten games, he's had a winning record. So, you know,

324
00:13:28,188 --> 00:13:30,148
Speaker 7: being up there and you know they trade for Joe Miller,

325
00:13:30,348 --> 00:13:34,508
Speaker 7: a strong quarterback, elite arm talent, I think they are

326
00:13:34,548 --> 00:13:36,268
Speaker 7: prepared for the future in a little bit, and you

327
00:13:36,268 --> 00:13:37,468
Speaker 7: know it would be good for him to come in

328
00:13:37,828 --> 00:13:39,828
Speaker 7: learn under Dak because you know, at the end of

329
00:13:39,828 --> 00:13:42,028
Speaker 7: the day, just like Will said, you know, Dak has

330
00:13:42,068 --> 00:13:45,068
Speaker 7: a level of professionalism that you know, Will has seen

331
00:13:45,148 --> 00:13:47,548
Speaker 7: and it's obviously kept in the league for a long time.

332
00:13:47,628 --> 00:13:48,988
Speaker 7: So it's good for Joe to be able to go

333
00:13:49,028 --> 00:13:50,908
Speaker 7: and learn under that. And you know, teams always want

334
00:13:50,908 --> 00:13:52,868
Speaker 7: to prepare for the future. You know, Dak at some

335
00:13:52,908 --> 00:13:54,428
Speaker 7: point the ball is going to drop for him, and

336
00:13:54,988 --> 00:13:56,148
Speaker 7: you know they want to be prepared.

337
00:13:56,308 --> 00:13:57,028
Speaker 2: So good point.

338
00:13:57,548 --> 00:13:59,268
Speaker 4: Yeah, I'm just going to rebuttal both of them. I

339
00:13:59,308 --> 00:14:01,668
Speaker 4: think that Listen, you could be twelve best in the

340
00:14:01,668 --> 00:14:04,068
Speaker 4: world at something, you know, that's that's still really good.

341
00:14:04,068 --> 00:14:06,468
Speaker 4: I mean, if you're the twelfth best quarterback in the world,

342
00:14:06,468 --> 00:14:09,028
Speaker 4: that there's no shade there. I just don't think he's

343
00:14:09,068 --> 00:14:10,868
Speaker 4: in the top ten. I named the seven. And then

344
00:14:11,028 --> 00:14:13,028
Speaker 4: I think Jared Golf is playing so efficient. Yes he

345
00:14:13,028 --> 00:14:14,388
Speaker 4: has a great offense around him, Yes he has a

346
00:14:14,388 --> 00:14:16,148
Speaker 4: great weapons, that's part of it. But he's playing with

347
00:14:16,188 --> 00:14:18,068
Speaker 4: what he's got. I mean, he was breaking records with

348
00:14:18,108 --> 00:14:22,388
Speaker 4: his accuracy this year. Baker Mayfield right, he played a

349
00:14:22,468 --> 00:14:24,788
Speaker 4: lot of that last year without his weapon. Baker, Mike

350
00:14:24,828 --> 00:14:27,188
Speaker 4: Evans was out, He's been written off in the league.

351
00:14:27,348 --> 00:14:29,908
Speaker 4: Baker has Mike Evans has been out, Chris Godwin broke

352
00:14:29,908 --> 00:14:32,788
Speaker 4: his ankle, and Baker still put up top five passing numbers.

353
00:14:32,828 --> 00:14:35,748
Speaker 4: I think that we're seeing truly what Baker Mayfield is.

354
00:14:35,908 --> 00:14:38,148
Speaker 4: People love Herbert's potential. He hasn't done it, just like

355
00:14:38,228 --> 00:14:40,228
Speaker 4: Dak hasn't done it. And when you say great in

356
00:14:40,268 --> 00:14:43,428
Speaker 4: the regular season, but not great in the playoffs, that's

357
00:14:43,428 --> 00:14:45,068
Speaker 4: putting an asterisk on why that might not be a

358
00:14:45,108 --> 00:14:46,908
Speaker 4: top ten player. What he does, you got to do

359
00:14:46,948 --> 00:14:48,428
Speaker 4: it in the playoffs is even more important in the

360
00:14:48,428 --> 00:14:50,708
Speaker 4: playoffs to elevate your game, to be the reason why

361
00:14:50,948 --> 00:14:52,908
Speaker 4: your team. I saw Dako head to head with Jordan

362
00:14:52,948 --> 00:14:54,748
Speaker 4: Love and the Packers a couple of years ago. That's

363
00:14:54,748 --> 00:14:56,788
Speaker 4: more and just Dak vers Jordan Love. Right, it's more

364
00:14:56,828 --> 00:14:59,028
Speaker 4: than just himself. But Jordan Love played a lot better

365
00:14:59,068 --> 00:15:02,748
Speaker 4: in that game than Dallas did. The defense and Dak

366
00:15:02,788 --> 00:15:03,388
Speaker 4: to a pick six.

367
00:15:03,428 --> 00:15:05,108
Speaker 6: They ran the ball like crazy. The defense gave up

368
00:15:05,108 --> 00:15:07,588
Speaker 6: the goods. But I will say for you, okay, give

369
00:15:07,628 --> 00:15:08,468
Speaker 6: me your top ten.

370
00:15:08,868 --> 00:15:11,188
Speaker 5: You gave said.

371
00:15:13,428 --> 00:15:16,268
Speaker 6: Seven quarterbacks, and then you gave me like another five,

372
00:15:16,348 --> 00:15:17,108
Speaker 6: and then he gave Jared.

373
00:15:17,108 --> 00:15:19,148
Speaker 7: He gave Jared, You give Jarreed got Baker Mayfield.

374
00:15:19,148 --> 00:15:21,508
Speaker 5: There was room for one more. Yeah, I got you, I.

375
00:15:21,468 --> 00:15:24,508
Speaker 3: Got Jordan Love put his list back up, even though

376
00:15:24,548 --> 00:15:25,068
Speaker 3: it's Unran.

377
00:15:25,348 --> 00:15:28,268
Speaker 4: Yeah, but he's younger than he's younger than Dak. I

378
00:15:28,308 --> 00:15:32,308
Speaker 4: mean they what can't Jordan What can Dak do that

379
00:15:32,308 --> 00:15:35,228
Speaker 4: that Jordan Love can do? Show me what Jordan Love

380
00:15:35,228 --> 00:15:35,668
Speaker 4: can't do that?

381
00:15:35,948 --> 00:15:36,948
Speaker 2: You got three spots left?

382
00:15:37,068 --> 00:15:38,908
Speaker 5: Okay, I got jared'sff.

383
00:15:39,268 --> 00:15:40,348
Speaker 4: I got Baker Mayfield.

384
00:15:40,348 --> 00:15:40,868
Speaker 5: That's nine.

385
00:15:41,428 --> 00:15:46,628
Speaker 4: I got uh Baker Golf, Jordan Love that's it. Und

386
00:15:46,748 --> 00:15:47,988
Speaker 4: I got my boy perty at eleven.

387
00:15:48,068 --> 00:15:48,348
Speaker 2: Okay.

388
00:15:48,348 --> 00:15:50,548
Speaker 3: My final question for you, Logan, if you're the twelfth

389
00:15:50,548 --> 00:15:52,828
Speaker 3: best at something like if you're the twelfth best quarterback

390
00:15:52,868 --> 00:15:55,268
Speaker 3: in the NFL, is that good enough of the Dallas Cowboys?

391
00:15:55,268 --> 00:15:56,628
Speaker 2: Should they be satisfied with that?

392
00:15:57,188 --> 00:15:57,468
Speaker 5: Yeah?

393
00:15:57,508 --> 00:15:59,668
Speaker 4: Because it's a lot better than what else is out there.

394
00:15:59,828 --> 00:16:01,468
Speaker 4: You know, I always say this, Oh, this guy's got

395
00:16:01,468 --> 00:16:03,028
Speaker 4: to go. Well, who you replacing them with? I said,

396
00:16:03,028 --> 00:16:05,268
Speaker 4: The offense still goes through Dak. He's still a really

397
00:16:05,308 --> 00:16:07,108
Speaker 4: good player. We're talking top ten in the world at

398
00:16:07,108 --> 00:16:09,228
Speaker 4: your job and being number twelve in the world at

399
00:16:09,228 --> 00:16:11,588
Speaker 4: something that gets you fifty five million dollars a year.

400
00:16:11,748 --> 00:16:12,668
Speaker 2: So I'm mad at him.

401
00:16:12,708 --> 00:16:14,388
Speaker 4: You know, if I could be the number twelve quarterback,

402
00:16:14,388 --> 00:16:16,268
Speaker 4: I want to be on his desk. I'll be playing still.

403
00:16:16,348 --> 00:16:18,388
Speaker 4: So my whole thing is you're number twelve. That's no

404
00:16:18,468 --> 00:16:20,148
Speaker 4: shade at you. It just we put them because he's

405
00:16:20,228 --> 00:16:22,948
Speaker 4: Dallas quarterback. You don't got to be top ten. He's

406
00:16:22,948 --> 00:16:24,908
Speaker 4: just not top ten. He's coming off an injury, he's

407
00:16:24,908 --> 00:16:26,868
Speaker 4: going off some down years. Yes, the talent's around him,

408
00:16:26,868 --> 00:16:30,708
Speaker 4: but because of those reasons and the lack of playoff performance,

409
00:16:30,948 --> 00:16:32,068
Speaker 4: that's why he's not my top ten.

410
00:16:32,148 --> 00:16:34,028
Speaker 3: You and Jason mccordy must have gone to the same

411
00:16:34,108 --> 00:16:36,988
Speaker 3: business school of football, because I used to bicker with

412
00:16:37,068 --> 00:16:40,908
Speaker 3: him about personnel decisions of different teams in the league,

413
00:16:40,908 --> 00:16:42,748
Speaker 3: and he would always say to me, who are you

414
00:16:42,788 --> 00:16:43,588
Speaker 3: going to replace him with?

415
00:16:43,588 --> 00:16:45,188
Speaker 2: And I want to throw him a coffee at him.

416
00:16:45,228 --> 00:16:47,868
Speaker 3: And it's so infuriating because I always think there's something

417
00:16:47,908 --> 00:16:49,068
Speaker 3: better if you're not satisfied.

418
00:16:49,068 --> 00:17:07,308
Speaker 2: But that's just a fans perspective. Good morning football.

419
00:17:07,828 --> 00:17:10,468
Speaker 3: So the draft is next week and the Dolphins might

420
00:17:10,508 --> 00:17:13,068
Speaker 3: be looking into getting an offensive lineman after the great

421
00:17:13,108 --> 00:17:15,708
Speaker 3: toront arms said called it a career last weekend. Armstead

422
00:17:15,708 --> 00:17:18,468
Speaker 3: spent twelve seasons in the NFL with both the Dolphins

423
00:17:18,508 --> 00:17:22,308
Speaker 3: and the Saints, and he put together quite the resume,

424
00:17:22,588 --> 00:17:26,508
Speaker 3: a five time Pro Bowl selection, twenty nineteen Saints Man

425
00:17:26,548 --> 00:17:29,028
Speaker 3: of the Year. Plus he's got some speed to the

426
00:17:29,068 --> 00:17:31,548
Speaker 3: big man, and he was on one of NFL Network's

427
00:17:31,588 --> 00:17:32,828
Speaker 3: top one hundred lists.

428
00:17:32,628 --> 00:17:33,828
Speaker 2: In the last couple of seasons.

429
00:17:33,908 --> 00:17:36,268
Speaker 3: So we love to see that for Toront, Arms said,

430
00:17:36,308 --> 00:17:38,468
Speaker 3: We've loved watching him and now we are going to

431
00:17:38,548 --> 00:17:40,348
Speaker 3: enjoy talking to him on Giammphy.

432
00:17:40,508 --> 00:17:41,268
Speaker 2: What's going on?

433
00:17:41,348 --> 00:17:43,788
Speaker 6: Good morning, Toron, Good morning, Good morning.

434
00:17:44,588 --> 00:17:47,028
Speaker 3: It's awesome to see you. Congratulations on everything. You're a

435
00:17:47,068 --> 00:17:50,908
Speaker 3: week into retirement. What hobbies have you picked up in

436
00:17:50,948 --> 00:17:55,068
Speaker 3: the meantime? Bird watching, gardening, golfing, both playing or watching

437
00:17:55,148 --> 00:17:56,948
Speaker 3: the Masters over the weekend. What are you filling your

438
00:17:56,988 --> 00:17:58,868
Speaker 3: time with now that you're not getting your body right

439
00:17:58,908 --> 00:17:59,588
Speaker 3: for the next season.

440
00:17:59,828 --> 00:18:00,028
Speaker 5: Yeah.

441
00:18:00,108 --> 00:18:03,748
Speaker 10: No, I'm fully embracing the old man life. I'm welcome

442
00:18:03,988 --> 00:18:10,508
Speaker 10: a lot, enjoying, enjoying my walking, enjoying, send back, sending back, reading,

443
00:18:11,348 --> 00:18:13,468
Speaker 10: just more and more to the quiet simple things that

444
00:18:13,708 --> 00:18:16,588
Speaker 10: the quiet simple spoils of life these days, and I'm

445
00:18:16,668 --> 00:18:17,108
Speaker 10: enjoying them.

446
00:18:17,308 --> 00:18:17,628
Speaker 5: Toron.

447
00:18:17,708 --> 00:18:20,708
Speaker 4: I feel like, as someone who retired a year before you,

448
00:18:20,828 --> 00:18:22,868
Speaker 4: I feel like as an NFL player that they do

449
00:18:22,908 --> 00:18:24,468
Speaker 4: a great job of teaching us how to get in

450
00:18:24,508 --> 00:18:27,628
Speaker 4: the league. Obviously college in this draft process, it's up

451
00:18:27,668 --> 00:18:29,788
Speaker 4: for the player to stay in the league as long

452
00:18:29,828 --> 00:18:31,468
Speaker 4: as you have. But they don't teach you how to

453
00:18:31,468 --> 00:18:33,068
Speaker 4: get out of the league. They don't teach you what

454
00:18:33,108 --> 00:18:35,268
Speaker 4: life's like after. So tell me how you knew, how

455
00:18:35,268 --> 00:18:36,668
Speaker 4: you came to the decision that some of the thoughts

456
00:18:36,668 --> 00:18:38,548
Speaker 4: you might have for some other players out there, and

457
00:18:38,548 --> 00:18:39,708
Speaker 4: why you decided to retire.

458
00:18:39,988 --> 00:18:42,828
Speaker 10: Yeah, Logan, it's just still was so many factors for me.

459
00:18:43,228 --> 00:18:46,668
Speaker 10: My body, for one, dealing with the knee that is

460
00:18:47,028 --> 00:18:49,588
Speaker 10: going on bone. You know, there's nothing left for me

461
00:18:49,668 --> 00:18:53,388
Speaker 10: to do to prepare and and to go through another season.

462
00:18:53,708 --> 00:18:55,668
Speaker 5: It would have been extremely, extremely challenging.

463
00:18:55,988 --> 00:18:58,388
Speaker 10: Then in factoring in my kids and my family, just

464
00:18:58,988 --> 00:19:01,908
Speaker 10: it's time to just be more present, be more invested

465
00:19:02,308 --> 00:19:05,108
Speaker 10: in their lives as they begin their athletic career too.

466
00:19:05,948 --> 00:19:08,388
Speaker 10: So many factors that went into it though, and prayed

467
00:19:08,388 --> 00:19:10,428
Speaker 10: about it for a long time, thought about it, talked

468

00:21:14,828 --> 00:21:17,388
Speaker 3: like you're walking. Are you taking up power walking? Because

517
00:21:17,388 --> 00:21:19,788

Speaker 5: That's a little too much trying.

529
00:21:47,708 --> 00:21:49,828
Speaker 3: A ton of people, you know, reached out to you

530
00:21:49,988 --> 00:21:53,308

00:22:21,068 --> 00:22:23,268
Speaker 10: very very touching, touching evening.

540
00:22:23,748 --> 00:22:27,748
Speaker 6: When you announce your retirement. You know, Drew Brees, your quarterback.

541
00:22:27,788 --> 00:22:29,308
Speaker 6: You know, he praised you for a lot of leadership,

542
00:22:29,348 --> 00:22:31,828
Speaker 6: you know, which is a huge compliment coming from someone

543
00:22:31,868 --> 00:22:34,028
Speaker 6: like Drew, Like take us, you know, inside the huddle

544
00:22:34,268 --> 00:22:36,268
Speaker 6: to the locker room, Like how would it lift you up,

545
00:22:36,388 --> 00:22:37,588
Speaker 6: motivate your teammates?

546
00:22:38,548 --> 00:22:39,348
Speaker 5: Drew was incredible.

547
00:22:39,348 --> 00:22:39,508
Speaker 11: Man.

548
00:22:39,548 --> 00:22:43,188
Speaker 10: His preparation alone, Like you see somebody that that left

549
00:22:43,228 --> 00:22:47,028
Speaker 10: no stone unturned every week, no matter what our offensive

550
00:22:47,028 --> 00:22:50,108
Speaker 10: production was the week before, Like, he still committed the.

551
00:22:50,068 --> 00:22:53,028
Speaker 5: Same level of preparation time and for the energy.

552
00:22:53,428 --> 00:22:55,668
Speaker 10: So just watching him prepare the way that he did,

553
00:22:55,748 --> 00:22:57,668
Speaker 10: like you didn't want to let this got down. You

554
00:22:57,748 --> 00:23:01,028
Speaker 10: wanted to be and do everything possible to go out

555
00:23:01,068 --> 00:23:03,188
Speaker 10: there and perform for him and be productive.

556
00:23:03,508 --> 00:23:06,748
Speaker 5: So it's just just watching him and other leaders that

557
00:23:06,788 --> 00:23:07,108
Speaker 5: we had.

558
00:23:07,148 --> 00:23:10,548
Speaker 10: Man, I learned, I studied, I paid attention to those guys,

559
00:23:10,948 --> 00:23:13,348
Speaker 10: and for me, I just always wanted the betterment of

560
00:23:13,388 --> 00:23:15,948
Speaker 10: my team, Like just wanted the guys to improve to

561
00:23:16,508 --> 00:23:19,468
Speaker 10: daily progress, to really have that full investment because we

562
00:23:19,508 --> 00:23:20,548
Speaker 10: are a short winded to do this.

563
00:23:20,588 --> 00:23:22,428
Speaker 5: I played for twelve years, but that's a short span

564
00:23:22,468 --> 00:23:23,748
Speaker 5: of my life, you know what I mean.

565
00:23:23,788 --> 00:23:26,748
Speaker 10: So I wanted to maximize that, maximize my potential and

566
00:23:26,788 --> 00:23:27,788
Speaker 10: had that full investment.

567
00:23:27,988 --> 00:23:31,668
Speaker 4: Toron, as a fellow broadcast who can't classmate of mind,

568
00:23:31,708 --> 00:23:34,068
Speaker 4: I know you want to get to broadcasting and teach

569
00:23:34,068 --> 00:23:36,428
Speaker 4: people about life, especially in the trenches. So what's something

570
00:23:36,428 --> 00:23:38,948
Speaker 4: about playing the old line mentality wise or something you

571
00:23:38,948 --> 00:23:40,708
Speaker 4: can bring to the screen and maybe tell the fans

572
00:23:40,988 --> 00:23:43,508
Speaker 4: at home what a twelve years at the old line means.

573
00:23:43,748 --> 00:23:46,268
Speaker 10: Yeah, I would love to get more into a detailed

574
00:23:46,268 --> 00:23:50,788
Speaker 10: space and we're talking to trenches. Get more into the technique, assignments,

575
00:23:51,188 --> 00:23:54,388
Speaker 10: hand placement, leverage, you know what I'm trying to do

576
00:23:54,428 --> 00:23:57,268
Speaker 10: as far as manipulating with my eyes and first step

577
00:23:57,468 --> 00:24:00,588
Speaker 10: pre snap, dummy calls and things like that where I'm

578
00:24:00,588 --> 00:24:02,468
Speaker 10: making a run call but i know it's a play action,

579
00:24:02,548 --> 00:24:03,788
Speaker 10: but I'm getting a reaction from.

580
00:24:03,668 --> 00:24:05,708
Speaker 5: The linebackers they hear me. I'm making sure they.

581
00:24:05,628 --> 00:24:09,348
Speaker 10: Hear me, just those small details and just give people

582
00:24:09,388 --> 00:24:12,068
Speaker 10: more insight and a little bit more of an education.

583
00:24:12,148 --> 00:24:13,748
Speaker 10: I feel like as a fan base, we know a

584
00:24:13,748 --> 00:24:15,868
Speaker 10: lot about quarterback play. You know a lot about the

585
00:24:15,868 --> 00:24:18,428
Speaker 10: skill positions, but it's time we learn a little bit

586
00:24:18,468 --> 00:24:20,588
Speaker 10: more about what's going on in there with the big dogs.

587
00:24:20,668 --> 00:24:22,988
Speaker 7: There you go, Well, I appreciate that tidbit, you know.

588
00:24:23,068 --> 00:24:25,388
Speaker 7: So anytime I hear alignments making some run call or

589
00:24:25,428 --> 00:24:26,988
Speaker 7: something I'm gonna, you know, make sure to let my

590
00:24:27,268 --> 00:24:31,828
Speaker 7: play know it might not only be true. I might

591
00:24:31,868 --> 00:24:33,828
Speaker 7: you might catch a little slack for this question, But

592
00:24:34,228 --> 00:24:36,788
Speaker 7: who are your top three teammates you've played with over

593
00:24:36,828 --> 00:24:37,748

00:26:08,348 --> 00:26:10,148
Speaker 3: the NFL Draft, how are you?

626
00:26:10,268 --> 00:26:12,508
Speaker 2: This is quite the process. It's quite the time for

627
00:26:12,548 --> 00:26:15,148
Speaker 2: you and your life just high holding up with all this.

628
00:26:15,828 --> 00:26:18,068
Speaker 12: Yeah, I feel like I've had like a whirlwind of

629
00:26:18,068 --> 00:26:21,308
Speaker 12: emotions a little bit, going from place to place, honestly,

630
00:26:21,348 --> 00:26:23,868
Speaker 12: from like coast to coast really, you know, just visiting

631
00:26:23,908 --> 00:26:26,748
Speaker 12: teams and you know, having little workouts and whatnot. So

632
00:26:26,988 --> 00:26:29,628
Speaker 12: I'm really wishing the draft was like tomorrow so we could,

633
00:26:29,708 --> 00:26:31,428
Speaker 12: you know, see where we're all going and whatnot.

634
00:26:31,468 --> 00:26:33,388
Speaker 5: But you know, trying to just enjoy the process.

635
00:26:33,468 --> 00:26:36,028
Speaker 12: And my family has been great, you know, a support

636
00:26:36,028 --> 00:26:38,268
Speaker 12: system around me, so you know, they've helped guide me through.

637
00:26:38,468 --> 00:26:40,948
Speaker 13: All right, let's talk about the process for you. I

638
00:26:40,988 --> 00:26:43,428
Speaker 13: went back to an old high school EVL I had

639
00:26:43,428 --> 00:26:45,908
Speaker 13: on you and at the time it was Fordam, it

640
00:26:45,948 --> 00:26:48,868
Speaker 13: was Louisiana Lafaette, Like you weren't this biggest star that

641
00:26:48,908 --> 00:26:51,548
Speaker 13: you are now in advance the draft. Can you share

642
00:26:51,588 --> 00:26:54,108
Speaker 13: the belief system that you had in yourself at that

643
00:26:54,308 --> 00:26:56,348
Speaker 13: point and now where we sit today. How that has

644
00:26:56,388 --> 00:26:57,308
Speaker 13: become your reality.

645
00:26:57,628 --> 00:26:59,908
Speaker 12: Yeah, it's definitely kind of crazy to look back at

646
00:26:59,908 --> 00:27:02,668
Speaker 12: the journey, and like you said, you know, I remember

647
00:27:02,668 --> 00:27:04,748
Speaker 12: being in that headspace when I didn't have a lot,

648
00:27:04,908 --> 00:27:06,748
Speaker 12: and you know, at one point, you know, honestly, I

649
00:27:06,788 --> 00:27:08,148
Speaker 12: was thinking I was just going to have to go

650
00:27:08,308 --> 00:27:10,908
Speaker 12: play baseball because things just weren't working out as much

651
00:27:10,908 --> 00:27:11,948
Speaker 12: on the football side of things.

652
00:27:12,028 --> 00:27:14,388
Speaker 5: So quite honestly, it's never really been a doubt. You know,

653
00:27:14,428 --> 00:27:16,388
Speaker 5: this has been something that I've dreamed of my whole life.

654
00:27:16,428 --> 00:27:18,308
Speaker 12: And I remember going back to preschool and writing down

655
00:27:18,388 --> 00:27:19,428
Speaker 12: what do you want to be one day?

656
00:27:19,468 --> 00:27:20,748
Speaker 5: And you know, I want to be a Super Bowl

657
00:27:20,788 --> 00:27:21,508
Speaker 5: winning quarterback.

658
00:27:21,588 --> 00:27:24,508
Speaker 12: So didn't really quite expect anything less than what it

659
00:27:24,548 --> 00:27:26,908
Speaker 12: is now, but really just grateful and humble for the opportunity.

660
00:27:27,308 --> 00:27:30,868
Speaker 11: Jackson Tony Jefferson safety for the Chargers. You play for

661
00:27:30,948 --> 00:27:33,268
Speaker 11: one of the top play callers in college football with

662
00:27:33,388 --> 00:27:36,308
Speaker 11: Lane Kiffin, and you've been quoted in comparing him to

663
00:27:36,388 --> 00:27:40,388
Speaker 11: Yoda from Star Wars. Yeah, how was coach Kiffen? How's

664
00:27:40,388 --> 00:27:43,148
Speaker 11: he helped you like mold you into the quarterback yard today?

665
00:27:43,588 --> 00:27:47,828
Speaker 11: And like what about him is like your style? Of coach.

666
00:27:48,228 --> 00:27:50,268
Speaker 12: Yeah, I think it's just really cool to look back on,

667
00:27:50,428 --> 00:27:52,348
Speaker 12: you know, kind of our journey that we've had together,

668
00:27:52,508 --> 00:27:55,188
Speaker 12: from the moment that he recruited me to going from

669
00:27:55,428 --> 00:27:57,988
Speaker 12: season to season. And I think one thing that really

670
00:27:57,988 --> 00:28:00,628
Speaker 12: intrigued me when I committed to him was just, you know,

671
00:28:00,708 --> 00:28:03,708
Speaker 12: how he was able to adapt his offenses around his

672
00:28:03,788 --> 00:28:06,108
Speaker 12: talent and his quarterback. And you can see it through

673
00:28:06,148 --> 00:28:08,068
Speaker 12: the three seasons that I played with him, like each

674
00:28:08,148 --> 00:28:10,828
Speaker 12: year the offense changed just a little bit and we

675
00:28:10,868 --> 00:28:13,668
Speaker 12: added new things, you know, got rid of different tendencies,

676
00:28:13,668 --> 00:28:15,948
Speaker 12: and I think that that's really unique for a coach,

677
00:28:16,348 --> 00:28:18,548
Speaker 12: and you know, really, you know, it is a tribute

678
00:28:18,548 --> 00:28:20,548
Speaker 12: to him and his knowledge of how he's able to

679
00:28:20,908 --> 00:28:23,988
Speaker 12: understand the game and really coordinate and pair an offense

680
00:28:24,028 --> 00:28:26,788
Speaker 12: around his quarterback and the talent that he has around it.

681
00:28:26,988 --> 00:28:29,228
Speaker 12: And you know, I love my time there, and me

682
00:28:29,268 --> 00:28:31,588
Speaker 12: and Coach Kiff have such a great relationship on and

683
00:28:31,628 --> 00:28:33,788
Speaker 12: off the field, and just really grateful.

684
00:28:33,428 --> 00:28:34,628
Speaker 2: For my time Jackson.

685
00:28:34,668 --> 00:28:37,068
Speaker 3: A couple of years back, I was on the SEC

686
00:28:37,188 --> 00:28:39,548
Speaker 3: on CBS sideline. It was before you got to Ole Miss,

687
00:28:39,548 --> 00:28:42,188
Speaker 3: and I had an ole Miss Alabama game assignment. It

688
00:28:42,308 --> 00:28:45,068
Speaker 3: was it was in Tuscaloosa. Lane Kiffin comes out of

689
00:28:45,108 --> 00:28:47,028
Speaker 3: the locker room. He's got to do the pre game

690
00:28:47,108 --> 00:28:49,948
Speaker 3: pre kick interview with me, and instead of answering whatever

691
00:28:50,508 --> 00:28:52,588
Speaker 3: question I laid out for him at the time, he

692
00:28:52,708 --> 00:28:56,308
Speaker 3: instead decides to lay a one liner down and toss

693
00:28:56,348 --> 00:28:58,228
Speaker 3: his headset as it happens, and get.

694
00:28:58,068 --> 00:28:59,188
Speaker 2: Your popcorn ready.

695
00:28:59,308 --> 00:29:01,108
Speaker 3: The game didn't go great for Old Miss, but it

696
00:29:01,148 --> 00:29:04,068
Speaker 3: was a classic landkiff In moment and that he wanted

697
00:29:04,068 --> 00:29:07,108
Speaker 3: to make this an electric feeling for Ole Miss. What

698
00:29:07,268 --> 00:29:09,828
Speaker 3: is a one liner or a lesson that you learned

699
00:29:09,828 --> 00:29:12,148
Speaker 3: from Lane that you will take into the NFL that

700
00:29:12,228 --> 00:29:13,388
Speaker 3: has shaped you as a quarterback?

701
00:29:13,948 --> 00:29:16,708
Speaker 5: Geez, that's kind of hard to think of just one liners.

702
00:29:16,948 --> 00:29:18,348
Speaker 5: But you know, there's definitely a lot of things that

703
00:29:18,348 --> 00:29:19,228
Speaker 5: I'll take from him.

704
00:29:19,308 --> 00:29:19,468
Speaker 2: You know.

705
00:29:19,628 --> 00:29:21,548
Speaker 12: Really, if you ever ask him a question, he always

706
00:29:21,588 --> 00:29:25,428
Speaker 12: just says maybe, which I think that's one thing that

707
00:29:25,628 --> 00:29:27,708
Speaker 12: I kind of like to use now, you know, and

708
00:29:27,748 --> 00:29:29,788
Speaker 12: people kind of get confused by it because you.

709
00:29:29,748 --> 00:29:31,228
Speaker 5: Know, you never really know what he's thinking.

710
00:29:31,428 --> 00:29:32,868
Speaker 2: He's famously noncommittal.

711
00:29:33,748 --> 00:29:35,748
Speaker 12: Yeah, no doubt. I mean, you guys know him just

712
00:29:35,788 --> 00:29:37,868
Speaker 12: as much as I do. I mean, you never know

713
00:29:37,908 --> 00:29:40,588
Speaker 12: what's going on inside of that. So you know, I'm

714
00:29:40,628 --> 00:29:42,988
Speaker 12: going to take a lot from my time playing with him,

715
00:29:43,268 --> 00:29:44,788
Speaker 12: you know, off the field too, just the time that

716
00:29:44,828 --> 00:29:47,268
Speaker 12: we spent and you know, the bond that we had

717
00:29:47,308 --> 00:29:47,748
Speaker 12: was special.

718
00:29:47,828 --> 00:29:49,868
Speaker 3: You keep mentioning off the field sounds like you guys

719
00:29:49,908 --> 00:29:51,228
Speaker 3: have played pickle ball together.

720
00:29:51,388 --> 00:29:51,948
Speaker 2: What's that like?

721
00:29:52,188 --> 00:29:55,268
Speaker 12: Yeah, you know, we actually we've had I think in

722
00:29:55,308 --> 00:29:57,708
Speaker 12: the past three days we had like nine matchups and

723
00:29:57,788 --> 00:30:01,348
Speaker 12: he has He's only won one game. So I think

724
00:30:01,348 --> 00:30:03,588
Speaker 12: he was probably excited that I left Oxford because now

725
00:30:03,588 --> 00:30:04,988
Speaker 12: I can try to want to get a win.

726
00:30:06,068 --> 00:30:08,748
Speaker 3: Well, you there is no maybe in the fact that

727
00:30:08,788 --> 00:30:10,828
Speaker 3: you were about to get paid like an NFL player.

728
00:30:10,868 --> 00:30:13,268
Speaker 3: What's going on with your partnership with Crocs as you

729
00:30:13,388 --> 00:30:14,868
Speaker 3: entered the next phase of your life.

730
00:30:15,148 --> 00:30:17,708
Speaker 12: Yeah, Crocs has been you know, I've been riding with

731
00:30:17,748 --> 00:30:20,468
Speaker 12: Crocs since I was young. Whether it was like me

732
00:30:20,588 --> 00:30:23,628
Speaker 12: going to AAU basketball tournaments back in the day or whatever.

733
00:30:23,668 --> 00:30:27,068
Speaker 12: It was like it was such a comforting footwear and whatnot.

734
00:30:27,148 --> 00:30:29,708
Speaker 12: So it's you know, it's helped me and in my recovery,

735
00:30:29,948 --> 00:30:32,908
Speaker 12: it's helped me in like little pregame fits and whatnot.

736
00:30:32,948 --> 00:30:34,148
Speaker 5: So you know, really.

737
00:30:33,908 --> 00:30:36,268
Speaker 12: Happy to be partnered with them, and it definitely hits

738
00:30:36,268 --> 00:30:37,868
Speaker 12: close to home with how much that I've used them

739
00:30:37,868 --> 00:30:38,348
Speaker 12: in the past.

740
00:30:38,668 --> 00:30:41,388
Speaker 13: Okay, so you grew up in Utah, you're there today

741
00:30:41,508 --> 00:30:41,828
Speaker 13: right now.

742
00:30:41,868 --> 00:30:42,868
Speaker 5: You just got back home.

743
00:30:42,948 --> 00:30:45,428
Speaker 13: Then he came out to USC and then you went

744
00:30:45,468 --> 00:30:47,108
Speaker 13: down to where Jamie spent a lot of her career

745
00:30:47,108 --> 00:30:50,948
Speaker 13: in the sc C. Man, what was that league like

746
00:30:51,188 --> 00:30:54,068
Speaker 13: in terms of preparing you for the moment that you're

747
00:30:54,108 --> 00:30:55,548
Speaker 13: about to enter in the NFL.

748
00:30:56,068 --> 00:30:58,748
Speaker 12: Jeez, I feel like it's definitely prepared me the best

749
00:30:58,748 --> 00:31:01,068
Speaker 12: way that I could be prepared. You know, for the

750
00:31:01,108 --> 00:31:03,468
Speaker 12: longest time, you know, the SEC has been the best

751
00:31:03,588 --> 00:31:05,988
Speaker 12: conference in allege football, so you know, each and every

752
00:31:06,028 --> 00:31:08,388
Speaker 12: week you're going up getting the best competition and the

753
00:31:08,428 --> 00:31:11,748
Speaker 12: best coaching so as well as the best game day environments.

754
00:31:12,148 --> 00:31:14,828
Speaker 12: So you know, I think with all those factors involved,

755
00:31:14,868 --> 00:31:17,028
Speaker 12: I definitely feel like it's going to prepare me. But yeah,

756
00:31:17,028 --> 00:31:18,828
Speaker 12: the football is just different in the South. I don't

757
00:31:18,828 --> 00:31:20,348
Speaker 12: really know how to describe it. You kind of have

758
00:31:20,428 --> 00:31:22,108
Speaker 12: to you have to live it or see it to

759
00:31:22,468 --> 00:31:25,228
Speaker 12: really understand it. But I was blessed to have, you know,

760
00:31:25,308 --> 00:31:27,668
Speaker 12: my time there, and wouldn't want to spend my time

761
00:31:27,708 --> 00:31:28,748
Speaker 12: anywhere else, that's for sure.

762
00:31:29,148 --> 00:31:34,268
Speaker 11: Draft expert Daniel Jeremiah the Goat said he loves loves

763
00:31:34,268 --> 00:31:36,108
Speaker 11: the way you play the game, your ability to create

764
00:31:36,548 --> 00:31:40,068
Speaker 11: off the script plays, execute the design runs. Do you

765
00:31:40,108 --> 00:31:43,668
Speaker 11: feel that's something you offer to teams and you're bringing

766
00:31:43,748 --> 00:31:47,228
Speaker 11: like a different aspect to the table for other QB prospects.

767
00:31:47,428 --> 00:31:49,188
Speaker 5: Yeah, I just think that I'm a versatile player.

768
00:31:49,308 --> 00:31:50,508
Speaker 12: I feel like I can just do a lot of

769
00:31:50,588 --> 00:31:53,468
Speaker 12: different things and which kind of makes me unique. Especially

770
00:31:53,628 --> 00:31:55,468
Speaker 12: I don't think a lot of people even talk about it,

771
00:31:55,508 --> 00:31:57,508
Speaker 12: but you know, I'm going to be the youngest quarterback

772
00:31:57,508 --> 00:31:59,828
Speaker 12: in the NFL next year, so I'm just going to

773
00:31:59,828 --> 00:32:02,108
Speaker 12: continue to grow and get better each and every year.

774
00:32:02,228 --> 00:32:04,748
Speaker 12: And so I'm still developing, and you know, I think that,

775
00:32:04,908 --> 00:32:07,188
Speaker 12: you know, my ceiling is really high. So I'm really

776
00:32:07,188 --> 00:32:09,148
Speaker 12: excited to get with the team, be coached, you know,

777
00:32:09,188 --> 00:32:11,988
Speaker 12: as hard as possible, and continue to develop my skill

778
00:32:12,028 --> 00:32:13,748
Speaker 12: set to make me the best player that I could

779
00:32:13,788 --> 00:32:14,508
Speaker 12: be for a team.

780
00:32:14,628 --> 00:32:17,148
Speaker 3: Jackson, I'm always fascinated by football players because you guys

781
00:32:17,188 --> 00:32:20,748
Speaker 3: go out there and you play this physical, intense game.

782
00:32:21,068 --> 00:32:24,468
Speaker 3: Then you have these hobbies like golf or fishing, for example,

783
00:32:24,508 --> 00:32:26,428
Speaker 3: that takes an immense amount of patience and you have

784
00:32:26,468 --> 00:32:28,588
Speaker 3: to keep your body still, You have to sit for a.

785
00:32:28,588 --> 00:32:29,268
Speaker 2: Very long time.

786
00:32:29,508 --> 00:32:32,788
Speaker 3: You are an avid outdoorsman and fishing is your game.

787
00:32:33,188 --> 00:32:34,348
Speaker 2: What is the bigger thrill?

788
00:32:34,628 --> 00:32:39,508
Speaker 3: Catching a big fish or throwing a big touchdown pass?

789
00:32:40,068 --> 00:32:42,348
Speaker 12: It's just be real, like, there's nothing that compares to

790
00:32:42,588 --> 00:32:43,548
Speaker 12: a touchdown pass.

791
00:32:43,588 --> 00:32:46,228
Speaker 5: I mean, I love fishing, but there's nothing that compares.

792
00:32:45,828 --> 00:32:48,748
Speaker 12: To that feeling now that Yeah, that was a good

793
00:32:48,788 --> 00:32:51,148
Speaker 12: that was a great feeling.

794
00:32:51,348 --> 00:32:52,268
Speaker 5: That's a lake trout.

795
00:32:52,428 --> 00:32:56,028
Speaker 2: It's a casual lake trout I think. I mean is yeah,

796
00:32:56,268 --> 00:32:58,588
Speaker 2: catch and release? What are we doing with that? Oh?

797

00:32:59,228 --> 00:33:01,588
Speaker 12: You know those fish can get like really old into

799
00:33:01,628 --> 00:33:05,228
Speaker 12: like they're wow, thirties to fifties, So you know you

800
00:33:05,308 --> 00:33:08,588
Speaker 12: definitely catch and release those because there's such prehistoric animals

801
00:33:08,628 --> 00:33:10,548
Speaker 12: and definitely got to respect them in that regard.

802
00:33:10,668 --> 00:33:11,868
Speaker 2: Okay, okay, here's the question.

Speaker 3: going to do it, but I.

815
00:33:31,308 --> 00:33:33,068
Speaker 2: Think you definitely showed it and you can make a

816
00:33:33,108 --> 00:33:35,388
Speaker 2: name for yourself. I'm just kicking ideas around the table time.

817
00:33:37,348 --> 00:33:40,468
Speaker 11: You know how big it is for the game day outfits.

818
00:33:40,668 --> 00:33:43,628
Speaker 11: You know, it's very important. IG That's that's where we

819
00:33:43,668 --> 00:33:48,308
Speaker 11: see who's really balling with the fits and fashion. I

820
00:33:48,348 --> 00:33:51,588
Speaker 11: hear you put your your fashion together before the season.

821
00:33:51,908 --> 00:33:53,228
Speaker 11: Tell me about that process.

822
00:33:53,668 --> 00:33:56,628
Speaker 12: Yeah, I think it really just starts from my mom.

823
00:33:56,668 --> 00:33:59,268
Speaker 12: My mom, she's kind of implemented me into the fashion

824
00:33:59,308 --> 00:34:01,188
Speaker 12: world since I was young, and you know, you know,

825
00:34:01,228 --> 00:34:03,388
Speaker 12: when I was like in elementary school, she was the

826
00:34:03,388 --> 00:34:05,668
Speaker 12: one that was like laying out outfits for me. So,

827
00:34:06,148 --> 00:34:08,148
Speaker 12: you know, I was just kind of having that relationship

828
00:34:08,188 --> 00:34:10,068
Speaker 12: and whatnot, and then being able to go and.

829
00:34:09,988 --> 00:34:12,068
Speaker 5: Have the Walk of Champions at Ole Miss.

830
00:34:12,508 --> 00:34:14,828
Speaker 12: You definitely gave us some opportunities to kind of show

831
00:34:14,868 --> 00:34:16,828
Speaker 12: and express, you know, kind of the taste that we

832
00:34:17,108 --> 00:34:19,268
Speaker 12: like in the fashion world. So it was definitely fun

833
00:34:19,308 --> 00:34:22,548
Speaker 12: because that also brought us closer and you know, having

834
00:34:22,548 --> 00:34:26,148
Speaker 12: content communication throughout the off season and putting those fits together.

835
00:34:26,188 --> 00:34:26,748
Speaker 5: So it was fun.

836
00:34:26,828 --> 00:34:29,308
Speaker 3: Okay, So in that spirit, what's up with the juice hat?

837
00:34:29,548 --> 00:34:30,788

847
00:34:51,348 --> 00:34:53,428
Speaker 12: you know, somebody who cares about every little thing when

848
00:34:53,428 --> 00:34:55,548
Speaker 12: he steps into the office or when he steps into

849
00:34:55,588 --> 00:34:57,228
Speaker 12: a room with his teammates.

850
00:34:57,548 --> 00:35:00,708
Speaker 5: That's one thing that you know can really separate great.

851
