Roastmaster General there the Hall of Famer joining 0:00:13.080 --> 0:00:16.640 us on the program. All right, did you run your 0:00:16.680 --> 0:00:21.479 speech by anybody before you gave it this week? Yeah? 0:00:21.600 --> 0:00:23.000 You know, honestly, my speech. 0:00:23.480 --> 0:00:26.360 My oldest son, AJ and I kind of worked on 0:00:26.440 --> 0:00:29.680 my speech from the get go, kind of bouncing jokes 0:00:29.720 --> 0:00:33.000 off each other. My wife, who hadn't heard the speech, 0:00:33.360 --> 0:00:35.600 just heard some of the jokes. She told me exactly 0:00:35.680 --> 0:00:38.040 what you said. You can't turn her Hall of Fame speech, 0:00:38.479 --> 0:00:41.200 you know, a thank you to everybody into a roast. 0:00:41.200 --> 0:00:44.080 And I said, I'm not. I'm throwing some jokes, but 0:00:44.120 --> 0:00:46.440 I'm reeling it back in and giving guys love in 0:00:46.520 --> 0:00:48.440 the process. So I finally had to sit her down, 0:00:48.520 --> 0:00:50.680 give her the speech, and then she was like, okay, 0:00:51.240 --> 0:00:52.000 these are pretty good. 0:00:52.000 --> 0:00:52.920 They're gonna be all right. 0:00:53.000 --> 0:00:55.880 Okay, the Pat McAfee line. Your wife was fine with 0:00:55.920 --> 0:00:57.600 that joke too well. 0:00:57.800 --> 0:01:00.279 Pat said it a hundred times on his show, so 0:01:00.560 --> 0:01:02.400 she's heard it a bunch of times. I threw a 0:01:02.440 --> 0:01:05.080 little spin just to make it funny, but she it 0:01:05.120 --> 0:01:07.440 took a little bit of convincing, but I think after 0:01:07.520 --> 0:01:10.240 she heard it about a dozen times, it desensitized her 0:01:10.280 --> 0:01:12.399 a little bit and she was like, all right, it's 0:01:12.400 --> 0:01:13.080 gonna be okay. 0:01:13.240 --> 0:01:16.000 But all eyes and all cameras were on her right now. 0:01:17.920 --> 0:01:21.039 Have you heard from Coach Belichick? I have not yet. 0:01:21.160 --> 0:01:21.960 I have not yet. 0:01:22.000 --> 0:01:25.280 Brady reached out to me said, really funny, I hope 0:01:25.280 --> 0:01:27.480 you have a hangover this morning kind of thing the 0:01:27.560 --> 0:01:28.280 following day. 0:01:28.480 --> 0:01:30.640 So I have not heard from Coach yet. 0:01:30.760 --> 0:01:33.440 What about Peyton was in the audience? She was fine 0:01:33.440 --> 0:01:34.760 with the forehead joke. 0:01:35.240 --> 0:01:37.880 He was. He thought it was pretty good. 0:01:37.920 --> 0:01:40.720 I'm sure his brother teaches him about that, so that's 0:01:40.760 --> 0:01:43.039 always kind of the thing that people like to give 0:01:43.080 --> 0:01:46.240 him a little crap about. So you know, everything that 0:01:46.280 --> 0:01:48.640 I said was all in fun love. Obviously, I love 0:01:48.720 --> 0:01:50.800 all those guys. I wouldn't mention them if they didn't 0:01:51.360 --> 0:01:54.560 mean the world to me. So hopefully, and here's the 0:01:54.560 --> 0:01:56.400 other thing. There's a couple of those guys that I 0:01:56.440 --> 0:01:58.480 threw a couple jokes at. Hopefully it will be on 0:01:58.520 --> 0:02:01.520 the stage here very soon. They'll get their opportunity to 0:02:01.520 --> 0:02:01.880 throw it. 0:02:01.840 --> 0:02:05.560 Back at me. Compare the nerves of going on and 0:02:05.600 --> 0:02:08.440 doing your speech to kicking a game winning field goal. 0:02:09.240 --> 0:02:11.320 Kicking a game winning field goal is easier. 0:02:11.400 --> 0:02:14.160 I think it was funny all of all of the 0:02:14.240 --> 0:02:16.560 older guys that you know came up to us, and 0:02:16.840 --> 0:02:18.080 they all had bets on who was. 0:02:18.080 --> 0:02:19.960 Going to cry or who was going to cry first. 0:02:20.080 --> 0:02:22.280 You know, it's a common thing that you get emotional, 0:02:22.280 --> 0:02:25.120 and to be honest with you, I had the toughest 0:02:25.120 --> 0:02:27.880 time until the morning of. I just repped it so 0:02:28.000 --> 0:02:30.560 many times to try to get it a little bit 0:02:30.639 --> 0:02:34.680 less desensitized in me because I couldn't get through it 0:02:34.680 --> 0:02:35.920 without getting emotional. 0:02:36.040 --> 0:02:39.440 And then I saw my dad when I started mentioning 0:02:39.480 --> 0:02:41.320 it to him, and then it screwed me up because 0:02:41.360 --> 0:02:43.639 I lost my train of thought. And then now I'm 0:02:43.919 --> 0:02:46.560 now now I'm all messed up myself. So I literally 0:02:46.600 --> 0:02:46.880 at that. 0:02:46.880 --> 0:02:49.960 Point had to look away from my family at the 0:02:50.040 --> 0:02:52.600 other teleprompter because I'm like, if I look at them, 0:02:52.680 --> 0:02:53.480 I'm going to lose it. 0:02:53.560 --> 0:02:56.320 So tried to be as professional as I could kind 0:02:56.320 --> 0:02:56.880 of sort. 0:02:56.680 --> 0:02:58.480 Of do you feel different today? 0:03:00.320 --> 0:03:04.400 You know, It's one of those situations that you dream 0:03:04.400 --> 0:03:06.680 about it all your life and and then you get 0:03:06.680 --> 0:03:09.680 the knock on the door, and then it's all about 0:03:10.000 --> 0:03:13.080 it's game week again, right preparation, making sure that you 0:03:13.160 --> 0:03:15.839 do the right things and say the right things. And 0:03:15.840 --> 0:03:18.480 and it was funny because I was really really nervous 0:03:18.480 --> 0:03:21.200 sitting there listening to Fitzgerald's speech, knowing that I was 0:03:21.240 --> 0:03:24.560 going to be up in fifteen minutes later. But there 0:03:24.600 --> 0:03:27.000 was a weird calmness when I when I watched the 0:03:27.120 --> 0:03:30.240 video and Boom was talking about the stories and and 0:03:30.240 --> 0:03:31.679 then I was just like, you know what this is. 0:03:31.880 --> 0:03:34.520 This is what we do. You're prepared, you're you're ready 0:03:34.520 --> 0:03:36.480 to go. And I think that this holds true with 0:03:36.480 --> 0:03:39.760 football as well. If you're out, if you practice and 0:03:39.800 --> 0:03:42.840 you're prepared and you do everything right, then then when 0:03:42.880 --> 0:03:44.400 it's game time, it comes easier. 0:03:44.480 --> 0:03:45.720 So I won't lie to you. 0:03:45.840 --> 0:03:48.880 I was nervous for the last several months writing the 0:03:48.920 --> 0:03:51.720 speech and thinking about who I need to add, And 0:03:51.880 --> 0:03:56.160 unfortunately you can't talk about everybody, Coach Doungee, Bill pull In, like, 0:03:56.200 --> 0:03:58.840 there's so many people out there that I wish I 0:03:58.920 --> 0:04:02.400 had more time to think. But this was maybe one 0:04:02.400 --> 0:04:04.240 of those speeches that you didn't want to get mentioned 0:04:04.240 --> 0:04:05.920 in because if you did you're getting roasted. 0:04:06.040 --> 0:04:08.880 So probably those guys are sitting back. Please don't mention 0:04:08.960 --> 0:04:09.560 my name. 0:04:09.400 --> 0:04:09.600 In this. 0:04:11.440 --> 0:04:13.320 Who was the Hall of Famer you wanted to meet? 0:04:15.240 --> 0:04:17.160 Oh man, there's so many. 0:04:17.200 --> 0:04:20.360 I tell you what, Joe Green did an incredible toast 0:04:20.520 --> 0:04:22.800 in the bus room when it was just us Hall 0:04:22.839 --> 0:04:25.640 of famers. I mean, I look around and you know, 0:04:26.120 --> 0:04:28.560 Ronnie Lot sat next to us in the Nichecki the 0:04:28.640 --> 0:04:32.640 ray Nichke luncheon, because obviously he played with Roger. 0:04:32.360 --> 0:04:35.600 Craig, and you know, and I just everywhere I look, 0:04:35.720 --> 0:04:36.880 I saw my heroes. 0:04:36.960 --> 0:04:37.240 It was. 0:04:37.279 --> 0:04:41.320 It was the most incredible time sitting in front of 0:04:41.480 --> 0:04:44.360 the team photo and there's one hundred and twenty plus 0:04:44.400 --> 0:04:45.960 us New five guys. 0:04:46.360 --> 0:04:46.680 It was. 0:04:46.800 --> 0:04:50.680 It was really really humbling, just because even at my 0:04:50.880 --> 0:04:54.479 earliest memories, you know Franco Harris and Lynn Swan and 0:04:54.560 --> 0:04:57.680 you know Terry Bradshaw and then then you know, and 0:04:57.760 --> 0:05:02.640 I'm obviously mentioning the Pittsburgh but you know, Joe Montagne, 0:05:02.800 --> 0:05:04.760 like all of these guys that when I grew up 0:05:04.760 --> 0:05:07.520 as a kid, I just idolized them. I dreamed that 0:05:07.600 --> 0:05:10.520 someday I would meet them, And and now I get 0:05:10.520 --> 0:05:12.680 to be on the same team as them, right, and 0:05:12.680 --> 0:05:15.279 and them just welcoming. They don't care if you're a kicker, 0:05:15.320 --> 0:05:18.120 they don't care what position you played. Everybody in that 0:05:18.320 --> 0:05:21.680 organization or that fraternity now we're all brothers. And and 0:05:21.720 --> 0:05:24.760 it's you lose football once you once you step away 0:05:24.760 --> 0:05:25.320 from the game. 0:05:25.400 --> 0:05:27.320 The thing that I feel like that I miss the 0:05:27.400 --> 0:05:28.520 most is. 0:05:28.560 --> 0:05:31.359 The locker room, the you know, the just being around 0:05:31.440 --> 0:05:34.239 the guys, the banter, guys teasing each other and talking 0:05:34.279 --> 0:05:37.280 trash to each other, and being back in that situation 0:05:37.480 --> 0:05:40.800 was well humbling. I got goosebumps talking about it right now. 0:05:40.839 --> 0:05:43.320 But it was just so great to know that you're 0:05:43.400 --> 0:05:45.680 part of a family that they said you can't ever 0:05:45.760 --> 0:05:48.240 get cut from your your you're a member for life 0:05:48.400 --> 0:05:49.600 and eternity. 0:05:49.680 --> 0:05:52.919 I guess right. So it was really really a wild experience. 0:05:53.040 --> 0:05:56.160 He's Adam Vinitarian Hall of Fame kicker and won four 0:05:56.200 --> 0:05:59.120 Super Bowls. If I'm going to take one kick out 0:05:59.120 --> 0:06:02.720 of your career, what's the one that you say that. 0:06:02.760 --> 0:06:10.039 One would I would say the game tying divisional playoff game, 0:06:10.080 --> 0:06:12.440 the snow Bowl, tough rule, whatever, when you want to 0:06:12.480 --> 0:06:14.760 call it, that's the one that I'm absolutely the most 0:06:14.800 --> 0:06:18.360 proud of. You could have made a tougher situation down 0:06:18.400 --> 0:06:22.599 by three Blizzard playoff game. You miss it, You're cleaning 0:06:22.640 --> 0:06:25.400 out your locker the next day, and just the sure 0:06:25.480 --> 0:06:28.400 difficulty of making that I still wonder I watched it. 0:06:28.520 --> 0:06:30.760 Anytime it's on, I have to watch it because I'm 0:06:30.800 --> 0:06:33.400 still blown away that I made that kick because of 0:06:33.120 --> 0:06:37.360 the intensity of it. Can never you can never discount 0:06:37.880 --> 0:06:41.440 your dream come true as a kicker of thinking about. 0:06:41.320 --> 0:06:45.159 You know, being you know, kicking a game winning Super 0:06:45.160 --> 0:06:45.920 Bowl kick. 0:06:45.960 --> 0:06:48.520 I mean, that's that's absolutely the thing that I dreamt 0:06:48.520 --> 0:06:51.040 about the most in my entire life as a kid. 0:06:51.120 --> 0:06:53.240 All the way tell the moment that had happened, but 0:06:53.600 --> 0:06:55.560 the one that I'm the most proud of is the 0:06:55.560 --> 0:06:57.719 one in the snow because just out of the difficulty, 0:06:57.760 --> 0:07:00.360 but whenever you can end a Super Bowl and your 0:07:00.400 --> 0:07:03.520 world champions coming off of the coming off your foot, 0:07:03.760 --> 0:07:06.240 I think that's probably one of the greatest moments as well. 0:07:06.400 --> 0:07:08.440 You've got a Brady story I haven't heard. 0:07:10.720 --> 0:07:14.200 You know, I just I admire him so much. 0:07:14.320 --> 0:07:18.080 You know, obviously we've all seen his draft day photos 0:07:18.160 --> 0:07:21.400 and and how he started and then how he you know, 0:07:21.480 --> 0:07:23.920 when he came in when when when Bloodsoe got injured 0:07:23.920 --> 0:07:27.920 that game, and watching how great of a teammate he was, 0:07:27.960 --> 0:07:29.760 and how hard he worked to take care of his 0:07:29.880 --> 0:07:32.560 body and too to how he studied and how he 0:07:32.640 --> 0:07:34.120 led the team. 0:07:34.160 --> 0:07:35.480 There's just so many. 0:07:35.280 --> 0:07:37.480 Things that when I think of Tom Brady and how 0:07:37.560 --> 0:07:41.440 and his his greatness, it's I just like I said 0:07:41.440 --> 0:07:43.720 in my speech, I was so honored that our paths 0:07:43.760 --> 0:07:46.600 came together and we got to write that story together. 0:07:46.720 --> 0:07:49.600 Obviously I left and and he. 0:07:49.560 --> 0:07:53.280 Uh, he continued on and kept on building that dynasty 0:07:53.320 --> 0:07:55.480 and his legacy for many many more years. 0:07:55.480 --> 0:07:57.400 But how we all started it together. 0:07:57.640 --> 0:08:00.880 Those those guys on that two thousand and one team, 0:08:01.360 --> 0:08:04.200 you know, they're just as much my true brothers is 0:08:04.680 --> 0:08:08.440 my biological genetic brothers, their family like anybody else. 0:08:08.480 --> 0:08:13.040 For sure, my guy Fritzie, who is the one who 0:08:13.360 --> 0:08:16.560 books the guest he critiqued your Hall of Fame speech, Todd, 0:08:16.600 --> 0:08:18.440 would you like to say to Adam what you thought 0:08:18.440 --> 0:08:18.960 of his speech? 0:08:19.040 --> 0:08:21.520 Yeah? My concern is when you're doing anything that's in 0:08:21.520 --> 0:08:24.320 a roasting fashion, or you're making a joke that may 0:08:24.400 --> 0:08:27.800 or may not fall flat. That was really basically my 0:08:27.840 --> 0:08:30.040 only concern as far as the time and place when 0:08:30.080 --> 0:08:32.320 you're thanking everyone and you're going through your childhood and 0:08:32.440 --> 0:08:34.160 all the people that came out to see you. So 0:08:34.240 --> 0:08:36.120 that was my big concern. You don't want your special 0:08:36.160 --> 0:08:38.160 moment of being inducted into the Hall of Fame ruined 0:08:38.200 --> 0:08:40.480 because someone may have gotten offended or took something the 0:08:40.480 --> 0:08:42.040 wrong way when you were just trying to make a 0:08:42.120 --> 0:08:44.800 joke or say something like that. So that's that was 0:08:44.800 --> 0:08:45.760 the only point I want. 0:08:45.600 --> 0:08:49.720 To and what I tried to do. I started heartfelt. 0:08:49.840 --> 0:08:53.640 Obviously talked about you know, my family and what they 0:08:53.679 --> 0:08:56.199 meant to me, come my grassroots from South Dakota and 0:08:56.679 --> 0:08:58.439 just along the way how I got there. 0:08:58.480 --> 0:09:00.920 And then obviously I wanted to keep the Hall of famers. 0:09:00.960 --> 0:09:02.520 You know, the guys that were sitting on the stage, 0:09:02.520 --> 0:09:05.040 they always tell us, hey, man, make it short, like 0:09:05.160 --> 0:09:07.200 don't we don't want to be sleeping up here. 0:09:07.240 --> 0:09:08.000 They give you, you. 0:09:08.040 --> 0:09:10.000 Know, put a little pressure on you, right, So I said, 0:09:10.200 --> 0:09:14.080 I'm going to make it entertaining. And then the heartfelt part, 0:09:14.200 --> 0:09:17.760 the hardest part for me is when I was addressing football, 0:09:17.800 --> 0:09:20.120 I wanted to make it be you're a person, and 0:09:20.160 --> 0:09:21.080 how do I thank you? 0:09:21.120 --> 0:09:21.360 For it. 0:09:21.400 --> 0:09:23.520 I tried to make it poetic at the end, right, 0:09:23.880 --> 0:09:25.960 and that was the hardest part for me. Every time 0:09:26.000 --> 0:09:29.240 I did that, I literally would be wiping tears away 0:09:29.280 --> 0:09:29.960 from my face. 0:09:30.040 --> 0:09:33.680 And so I wanted it to start sentimental. 0:09:34.080 --> 0:09:36.160 I wanted to make people laugh, and then I wanted 0:09:36.200 --> 0:09:38.199 to end it with with a bang at the end. 0:09:38.280 --> 0:09:40.920 So hopefully I accomplished that. If if people. 0:09:40.679 --> 0:09:43.760 Got offended or thought it was inappropriate, I apologize to you. 0:09:43.600 --> 0:09:50.360 Guys, butize to anything TODs. Todd's the buzzkill Adam. 0:09:50.679 --> 0:09:52.880 I will add, I'm a huge Bronco fan, so anybody 0:09:52.840 --> 0:09:55.200 associated with the patriots and cults, you got to understand 0:09:55.240 --> 0:09:56.040 with the wink. 0:09:57.240 --> 0:10:00.720 Before you say one word, and it's okay. Adam Todd 0:10:00.840 --> 0:10:03.120 was critical of your speech until he found out we 0:10:03.120 --> 0:10:04.679 were going to have you on, and then all of 0:10:04.720 --> 0:10:07.120 a sudden he started to backtrack a little bit on 0:10:07.200 --> 0:10:09.880 that he was. He was critical of Michael Jordan's Hall 0:10:09.880 --> 0:10:12.199 of Fame speech as well. Just want to just want 0:10:12.240 --> 0:10:16.319 to let you know you're in good company there. Congrats, 0:10:16.840 --> 0:10:20.040 thank you, yeah, and uh, you're a Hall of Famer man. 0:10:21.240 --> 0:10:23.560 Feels wonderful.

I 0:10:34.280 --> 0:10:37.000 couldn't have been more honored listening to their speeches and 0:10:36.760 --> 0:10:39.920 being around them for the last seven months, just the 0:10:39.960 --> 0:10:43.360 pros pros. I just got to develop great relationships with 0:10:43.400 --> 0:10:45.160 those guys, and I'm so happy that I'm going to 0:10:45.200 --> 0:10:48.000 be able to share that and be part of their 0:10:48.080 --> 0:10:49.400 class forever. 0:10:49.679 --> 0:10:53.280 Maybe Gronk goes in next year and you'll and Belichick 0:10:53.760 --> 0:10:55.240 that's right, yeah, good. 0:10:55.280 --> 0:10:57.719 Yeah, and then obviously Brady the following year. I mean 0:10:57.720 --> 0:11:00.560 that I would be I mean, that's a that's guarantee you. 0:11:00.640 --> 0:11:02.880 I would have thought you would go in before Belichick. 0:11:04.840 --> 0:11:06.640 Yeah, it's it's pretty wild for sure. 0:11:07.000 --> 0:11:09.400 I want to go to Gronk's party the after party, 0:11:09.920 --> 0:11:10.480 oh me too. 0:11:10.600 --> 0:11:12.920 Hopefully he in bites me. We weren't we weren't. We're 0:11:12.960 --> 0:11:15.720 obviously both patriots, not all both. But here's the thing, 0:11:15.800 --> 0:11:17.679 right when you're a gold jacket, you get a bounce 0:11:17.720 --> 0:11:18.520 around and go to the party. 0:11:18.600 --> 0:11:19.920 So even if he doesn't invite. 0:11:19.720 --> 0:11:24.320 Him anyway, thank you, Adam, thank you, thanks for having 0:11:24.360 --> 0:11:28.559 me on. Adam Vinit, Terry Hall of Famer, Todd Hall 0:11:28.600 --> 0:11:29.239 of Famer. 0:11:28.960 --> 0:11:29.600 Adam Arry. 0:11:29.600 --> 0:11:30.800 You have the patriots and cults. 0:11:32.760 --> 0:11:35.600 Okay, you didn't think I was gonna call you out, 0:11:35.679 --> 0:11:35.920 did you? 0:11:36.120 --> 0:11:37.600 As the interview was going by him like, I think 0:11:37.600 --> 0:11:39.240 he's gonna maybe give me a reprief air and he's 0:11:39.280 --> 0:11:40.640 not going to come to it, but we just knuck 0:11:40.640 --> 0:11:41.080 it in there. 0:11:41.280 --> 0:11:44.360 Yes, Dylan, I thought, as far as backtracks go, that 0:11:44.400 --> 0:11:45.840 was actually pretty well executed. 0:11:46.960 --> 0:11:52.480 Credit about all the time anyway, But do you want 0:11:52.520 --> 0:11:54.760 to say someone that can take away from your special 0:11:54.840 --> 0:11:56.439 day in your in your history of your life. It's 0:11:56.440 --> 0:11:57.200 like that was great thing. 0:11:57.200 --> 0:11:58.200 He's a Hall famous But why. 0:11:58.120 --> 0:12:00.560 Did you make that comment about Belichick Manning? They got 0:12:00.640 --> 0:12:01.280 upset about it. 0:12:02.480 --> 0:12:05.040 He talked about how he's going to miss the camaraderie 0:12:05.080 --> 0:12:07.640 have giving each other grief in the locker room. That's 0:12:07.679 --> 0:12:14.400 probably last call for him. You're in the bus. You 0:12:14.440 --> 0:12:18.160 add problems with Michael Jordan's retirement and Hall of Fame speech. 0:12:18.240 --> 0:12:19.000 I was ready to. 0:12:18.960 --> 0:12:21.679 Critique Adam before he said one word up there because. 0:12:21.440 --> 0:12:24.760 Of New England. And he's still listening though, I'm sure 0:12:24.200 --> 0:12:34.520 he's got this. He's got this puzzled look there, he's 0:12:34.559 --> 0:12:37.200 not leaving Todd. He's got one more cold jacket than 0:12:37.200 --> 0:12:37.440 I have. 0:12:37.800 --> 0:12:39.720 I'm still listening, listening. 0:12:39.840 --> 0:12:41.280 Four rings and a gold jacket. 0:12:41.320 --> 0:12:41.920 God bless him. 0:12:41.960 --> 0:12:44.840 Alrighty, that's Hall of Famer Adam Vin Terry. 0:12:45.520 --> 0:12:47.640 Be sure to catch the live edition of The Dan 0:12:47.760 --> 0:12:50.800 Patrick Show week days at nine am Eastern six am 0:12:50.840 --> 0:12:55.079 Pacific on Fox Sports Radio and the iHeartRadio. 0:12:54.280 --> 0:12:57.560 Wapp that got you here. 0:12:58.160 --> 0:13:01.840 I have a podcast empire.

That's not what Quinn 0:14:11.520 --> 0:14:14.600 Williams is all about. That's not what Aaron Donald was about. 0:14:15.040 --> 0:14:17.920 That's not what Warren Sapp was about. That was just 0:14:18.400 --> 0:14:21.760 clog the middle, double team and that will help the 0:14:21.800 --> 0:14:25.200 guys on the edge get to the quarterback. But if 0:14:25.280 --> 0:14:27.960 you look at the Cowboys defense last year, I mean 0:14:28.000 --> 0:14:32.280 they were historically bad. Last year. They allowed thirty points 0:14:32.440 --> 0:14:36.520 per game. They were thirty second in points per game allowed, 0:14:36.880 --> 0:14:39.880 They were thirtieth in takeaways, they were twenty second in 0:14:40.040 --> 0:14:46.160 sacks twenty ninth and interceptions twenty third in rushing yards allowed. 0:14:47.960 --> 0:14:50.840 You had one of the best offenses in the NFL 0:14:51.400 --> 0:14:54.960 and you had the worst defense. What does that give you? 0:14:55.280 --> 0:14:59.120 That gives you an average season. The Cowboys with the 0:14:59.200 --> 0:15:03.000 offense and an average defense, they will be in the 0:15:03.040 --> 0:15:06.440 playoffs and they will be a force. But you look 0:15:06.480 --> 0:15:10.440 back on the Micah Parsons deal and Dallas won that deal. 0:15:11.320 --> 0:15:13.120 I think a lot of times we grade you know, 0:15:13.160 --> 0:15:15.040 you got a grade. Oh what's the grade for this? 0:15:15.200 --> 0:15:17.680 It's like grading a draft pick. I got to wait 0:15:17.800 --> 0:15:20.920 a little while to you know, great a draft pick. Now. 0:15:20.920 --> 0:15:23.360 I did give the Cowboys an a for Caleb Downs. 0:15:23.800 --> 0:15:25.800 I love that pick. They went up and they got him, 0:15:25.840 --> 0:15:29.520 and I think he'll be their defensive captain eventually. But 0:15:29.560 --> 0:15:33.680 the Cowboys have made some smart moves here. You got 0:15:33.680 --> 0:15:36.080 to capitalize on this. You know, you got to pick 0:15:36.080 --> 0:15:38.440 it on that franchise tag. Is he going to be 0:15:38.480 --> 0:15:42.120 there after this? You're already paying you know, ceedee lamb 0:15:43.560 --> 0:15:46.280 Dak is getting paid like you are supposed to be 0:15:46.400 --> 0:15:49.240 really good on offense? Now, can you get the defense 0:15:49.440 --> 0:15:52.320 to play up to an average level? If they're a 0:15:52.360 --> 0:15:55.000 top fifteen defense, I think they have a chance to 0:15:55.000 --> 0:15:57.280 go to the NFC title game. I really believe in 0:15:57.320 --> 0:16:00.840 the offense that much. But the defense. Defense has got 0:16:00.880 --> 0:16:03.120 to get off the field, and he got to stop 0:16:03.160 --> 0:16:05.880 giving up thirty points per game. But you go back 0:16:05.920 --> 0:16:09.720 to the Micah Parsons deal. And I've said before Jerry 0:16:09.800 --> 0:16:13.640 Jones could have signed him, you know, six months earlier 0:16:13.720 --> 0:16:16.400 probably and saved a lot of money and kept him there. 0:16:16.880 --> 0:16:19.680 But from what I've been told about Micah Parsons, he 0:16:19.760 --> 0:16:23.760 wasn't a leader and it wasn't a universal. Hey we 0:16:23.800 --> 0:16:26.760 got to keep this guy. You bring in Quinn Williams, 0:16:26.760 --> 0:16:29.760 he just does his job, you know, you plug him in, 0:16:30.000 --> 0:16:33.360 and from what I'm told, he is a leader. He's 0:16:33.400 --> 0:16:37.360 a clubhouse guy. That's what I'm told. The Caleb Downs, 0:16:37.400 --> 0:16:39.760 I think you put him in, let him go. He's 0:16:39.800 --> 0:16:41.960 just one of those guys. Maybe he can be a 0:16:42.080 --> 0:16:45.640 Troy Poalomalo for them, just somebody that you go make plays. 0:16:46.040 --> 0:16:48.680 But I think Dallas is making some smart moves. 0:16:48.720 --> 0:16:48.880 Now. 0:16:48.920 --> 0:16:51.320 The Giants are going to be better with John Harbaugh 0:16:51.360 --> 0:16:56.000 as their coach. Washington's tricky because here you have a 0:16:56.000 --> 0:16:59.680 franchise quarterback took you to the NFC title game and 0:16:59.760 --> 0:17:03.520 you've give it him. Terry McLaurin, Okay, you tried with 0:17:03.600 --> 0:17:09.440 Deebo Samuel, Now you bringing step On Diggs. Okay. Laromie 0:17:09.480 --> 0:17:13.680 Tunsell got hurt. I think they might be headed down 0:17:13.680 --> 0:17:17.520 that road again, where you go man that window of 0:17:17.600 --> 0:17:21.199 opportunity when you have a rookie quarterback, a young quarterback, 0:17:21.680 --> 0:17:23.960 and you know that you're not going to be paying 0:17:24.040 --> 0:17:26.920 him fifty or sixty million dollars yet, but the clock 0:17:27.000 --> 0:17:29.880 is ticking. As soon as you draft one of those quarterbacks, 0:17:30.119 --> 0:17:33.560 the clock starts ticking because you have to surround him. 0:17:34.520 --> 0:17:38.320 You got three years, a three year window. It's like 0:17:38.359 --> 0:17:41.440 Seattle when Seattle had Russell Wilson. They could keep the defense, 0:17:41.800 --> 0:17:45.679 they could keep Marshaun Lynch, they could keep wide receivers, 0:17:45.680 --> 0:17:49.120 they could keep offensive linemen, but the clock was ticking 0:17:49.520 --> 0:17:51.680 and then all of a sudden, russ is going to 0:17:51.720 --> 0:17:54.640 get paid and you have to let some defensive players go. 0:17:55.240 --> 0:17:58.680 But that's the NFL. The window is there in Washington. 0:17:59.160 --> 0:18:03.000 But are they going to take advantage of it. Stefan Diggs, 0:18:03.000 --> 0:18:05.560 to me, is not a number one receiver, but he 0:18:05.640 --> 0:18:08.840 had decent numbers last year for New England. I like 0:18:08.960 --> 0:18:12.200 Terry McLaurin, But Terry McLaurin is not a guy who's 0:18:12.480 --> 0:18:15.800 gonna remind you of Tyreek Hill. But he's a really 0:18:15.800 --> 0:18:19.879 good receiver Jaden Daniels coming off the injury coming back, 0:18:20.040 --> 0:18:21.480 is he going to play differently? 0:18:22.280 --> 0:18:22.359 So? 0:18:22.440 --> 0:18:25.239 I think that's tricky. The Eagles they got a new 0:18:25.280 --> 0:18:29.040 offensive coordinator. Stop me if you've heard that before. How 0:18:29.040 --> 0:18:32.600 many offensive coordinators has Jalen Hurts had in his college 0:18:32.640 --> 0:18:36.960 and pro career, because I'm guessing he's probably had seven 0:18:37.080 --> 0:18:41.959 or eight, which is astounding number. Go back to college. 0:18:42.080 --> 0:18:44.119 I think he had a new one each year, and 0:18:44.200 --> 0:18:46.320 I think every year in the NFL he's had a 0:18:46.320 --> 0:18:49.000 new offensive coordinator. Yeah, Paulie. 0:18:49.200 --> 0:18:53.679
