00:01:37,200 --> 00:01:38,200
Speaker 6: holes in the defense.

43
00:01:38,480 --> 00:01:42,360
Speaker 3: Not fast enough to beat man the man cover just.

Speaker 5: Yeah, well for me, honestly, just just coming in his

52
00:02:00,040 --> 00:02:01,960
Speaker 5: rookie not knowing how to you know, not know what

53
00:02:02,000 --> 00:02:04,560
Speaker 5: you expect, not knowing what what everything was trying to

54
00:02:04,560 --> 00:02:07,840
Speaker 5: find my footing. Having a guy like Adam who has

55
00:02:07,840 --> 00:02:11,280
Speaker 5: had so much success for so long he was I

56
00:02:11,440 --> 00:02:14,239
Speaker 5: appreciate he was super super communicative.

57
00:02:14,320 --> 00:02:17,000
Speaker 4: Is that how you say that communicative communicator? I appreciate.

58
00:02:17,040 --> 00:02:18,120
Speaker 4: I see what I was like.

59
00:02:18,160 --> 00:02:19,799
Speaker 3: I just go over it.

60
00:02:19,840 --> 00:02:23,120
Speaker 5: But he communicated super well about He was super open

61
00:02:23,160 --> 00:02:25,440
Speaker 5: about about talking, Hey, this is how I see things?

62
00:02:25,440 --> 00:02:27,640
Speaker 4: How do you see things? Just want to be on

63
00:02:27,639 --> 00:02:28,160
Speaker 4: the same page.

64
00:02:28,160 --> 00:02:29,880
Speaker 5: And having that urgency about it for me as a

65
00:02:29,919 --> 00:02:33,080
Speaker 5: young guy coming in was super beneficial. And I was

66
00:02:33,080 --> 00:02:35,520
Speaker 5: always wont to hear his opinions on stuff because you know,

67
00:02:35,520 --> 00:02:36,920
Speaker 5: he had seen a lot more He's seen a lot

68
00:02:36,919 --> 00:02:38,880
Speaker 5: more NFL ball than I had one to hear that,

69
00:02:38,960 --> 00:02:41,960
Speaker 5: and him making himself available and then obviously that translates

70
00:02:41,960 --> 00:02:45,160
Speaker 5: to the field of you know, it's a lot gets

71
00:02:45,160 --> 00:02:48,640
Speaker 5: open a lot, So it's always just crafty.

72
00:02:48,360 --> 00:02:50,720
Speaker 3: Yeah, exactly exactly his own covers man.

73
00:02:52,639 --> 00:02:55,639
Speaker 5: So I'm always uh, yeah, he he makes it makes

74
00:02:55,639 --> 00:02:59,080
Speaker 5: it a lot easier for me to be a position.

75
00:02:58,800 --> 00:03:01,680
Speaker 2: Look, you with Obama. You you've been to Carolina. You

76
00:03:01,680 --> 00:03:03,359
Speaker 2: guys have ran in some country, you.

77
00:03:03,320 --> 00:03:07,240
Speaker 6: Know, like, but you got a receiver to you didn't

78
00:03:07,440 --> 00:03:10,280
Speaker 6: want sc right, Yeah, I mean Bama of the North.

79
00:03:10,320 --> 00:03:10,880
Speaker 3: I guess.

80
00:03:14,000 --> 00:03:22,000
Speaker 6: About they think about Mankato. Uh, it's a southern Minnesota. Wow,

81
00:03:22,840 --> 00:03:24,639
Speaker 6: we can just call it's Minnesota state. It sounds a

82
00:03:24,680 --> 00:03:25,160
Speaker 6: little better.

83
00:03:25,600 --> 00:03:26,919
Speaker 1: I mean, I was born to eating prairie.

84
00:03:26,919 --> 00:03:28,919
Speaker 2: But what we're not gonna do is ever say Minnesota

85
00:03:28,919 --> 00:03:32,799
Speaker 2: anywhere is country. It's Canada. It's the very nice, polite people.

86
00:03:34,320 --> 00:03:37,080
Speaker 2: But I mean, let's talk about the kid Xavier. I'm

87
00:03:37,120 --> 00:03:42,760
Speaker 2: not even leg leget Okay, yeah that makes sense. When

88
00:03:42,800 --> 00:03:45,280
Speaker 2: he talks, I cannot like. And I've been I've been

89
00:03:45,280 --> 00:03:47,560
Speaker 2: to Opelousas, I've been to Lake Charles. I mean, I'm

90
00:03:47,600 --> 00:03:52,160
Speaker 2: throughout Louisiana. No, it's he's one of those like New

91
00:03:52,200 --> 00:03:53,040
Speaker 2: Iberia types.

92
00:03:53,240 --> 00:03:56,880
Speaker 6: My favorite thing is in receiver meetings is no one

93
00:03:56,920 --> 00:03:59,960
Speaker 6: knows what he's saying except for me. So so Coach

94
00:04:00,120 --> 00:04:03,480
Speaker 6: more will literally ask me a question, Xavier will respond

95
00:04:03,720 --> 00:04:06,120
Speaker 6: and then Coach will immediate look to me like what

96
00:04:06,160 --> 00:04:08,960
Speaker 6: did he say? And I have to translate and then

97
00:04:09,000 --> 00:04:11,280
Speaker 6: everyone's like why are you the one who's translating. It

98
00:04:11,320 --> 00:04:13,400
Speaker 6: doesn't make any sense, but for some reason, I just

99
00:04:13,760 --> 00:04:14,840
Speaker 6: understand what he's saying.

100
00:04:15,000 --> 00:04:17,000
Speaker 1: Ah, got it, got it? Hints why is the south

101
00:04:17,000 --> 00:04:17,760
Speaker 1: of the North? Yeah?

102
00:04:17,800 --> 00:04:18,240
Speaker 3: Exactly.

103
00:04:21,120 --> 00:04:24,359
Speaker 1: So in a huddle, yeah, you called out a play.

104
00:04:24,600 --> 00:04:24,800
Speaker 3: Yeah.

105
00:04:25,040 --> 00:04:26,880
Speaker 1: In practice he comes to you when he starts talking

106
00:04:26,920 --> 00:04:29,240
Speaker 1: to you. Hey, I mean I've.

107
00:04:29,160 --> 00:04:29,840
Speaker 4: Gotten better too.

108
00:04:30,000 --> 00:04:33,039
Speaker 5: I honestly I feel like at first adjustment, but like

109
00:04:33,080 --> 00:04:34,680
Speaker 5: I think, going to Bama, we had a couple of

110
00:04:34,680 --> 00:04:37,440
Speaker 5: guys that I'm not gonna lie. He's he's the most egregious,

111
00:04:37,480 --> 00:04:39,279
Speaker 5: but we've had a couple of guys that were closed.

112
00:04:39,600 --> 00:04:42,120
Speaker 5: So I've gotten better. And when we have union meetings

113
00:04:42,640 --> 00:04:45,200
Speaker 5: to this day, like he'll say something. Whenever he says

114
00:04:45,200 --> 00:04:48,359
Speaker 5: something in union meeting, he'll say, you know, something like normal,

115
00:04:48,360 --> 00:04:50,880
Speaker 5: I'm gonna try to do his voice, but something like okay,

116
00:04:50,920 --> 00:04:53,400
Speaker 5: so I got an outside released on that and legit

117
00:04:53,640 --> 00:04:55,719
Speaker 5: will be signed for two sakes. Everyone just start cracking

118
00:04:55,800 --> 00:04:58,120
Speaker 5: up and like this is like week seventeen. I'm like, bro,

119
00:04:58,240 --> 00:05:00,520
Speaker 5: I heard him, Like is everyone still this behind?

120
00:05:00,680 --> 00:05:00,880
Speaker 1: Yes?

121
00:05:00,960 --> 00:05:02,640
Speaker 4: So I think I've adjusted a little bit.

122
00:05:02,720 --> 00:05:05,440
Speaker 5: It's just yesterday I seen him, Uh and it was

123
00:05:05,440 --> 00:05:07,520
Speaker 5: like a little loud where we were at and it

124
00:05:07,600 --> 00:05:10,000
Speaker 5: was dark. So I'm like, all right, bro, I'm not

125
00:05:10,000 --> 00:05:13,440
Speaker 5: gonna lie man, like I can't Like normally I do better,

126
00:05:13,520 --> 00:05:15,400
Speaker 5: I know, but like not right now, Like I can't

127
00:05:15,440 --> 00:05:16,080
Speaker 5: even reach your lips.

128
00:05:17,839 --> 00:05:19,640
Speaker 4: I'm not gonna lie this. We can't have a conversation.

129
00:05:22,240 --> 00:05:22,760
Speaker 1: I just want to know.

130
00:05:22,839 --> 00:05:25,240
Speaker 2: Like, like we saw the viral clips of like Thanksgiving

131
00:05:25,320 --> 00:05:27,520
Speaker 2: came around and he came in with the.

132
00:05:27,600 --> 00:05:29,520
Speaker 1: With the coon. He tried it right there with the raccoon.

133
00:05:29,560 --> 00:05:29,920
Speaker 1: There we go.

134
00:05:29,960 --> 00:05:31,359
Speaker 2: I was like, I was like, yo, who actually, Like

135
00:05:31,400 --> 00:05:33,640
Speaker 2: I've ate some wild stuff, Like I've gone to Japan,

136
00:05:33,640 --> 00:05:35,800
Speaker 2: I've ate some wild stuff. I've gone to Korea. I've

137
00:05:35,800 --> 00:05:38,320
Speaker 2: gone to you know whatever, Egypt. I've had some some

138
00:05:38,320 --> 00:05:40,840
Speaker 2: some random meats. You know, I've gone to Liberia and

139
00:05:40,880 --> 00:05:44,039
Speaker 2: had some bush meet pauls wild And then when I

140
00:05:44,080 --> 00:05:46,599
Speaker 2: think about just like so he comes in with you

141
00:05:46,600 --> 00:05:49,960
Speaker 2: know whatever whatever it was, it was raccoon right tried it.

142
00:05:50,240 --> 00:05:51,159
Speaker 3: Well, here's the deal.

143
00:05:51,240 --> 00:05:54,440
Speaker 6: So SO built a pretty good relationship with him over

144
00:05:54,600 --> 00:05:57,040
Speaker 6: over the year, you know, and he's my guy. I mean,

145
00:05:57,080 --> 00:05:59,640
Speaker 6: I love that kid. He's a great kid, works hard.

146
00:05:59,680 --> 00:06:01,719
Speaker 6: He tried to do things the right way. So when

147
00:06:01,760 --> 00:06:03,240
Speaker 6: you have a guy like that, you just kind of

148
00:06:03,320 --> 00:06:05,240
Speaker 6: root for guys like that, right as you know.

149
00:06:05,680 --> 00:06:07,760
Speaker 3: And so anyways, we build up a strong relationship.

150
00:06:07,760 --> 00:06:11,040
Speaker 6: So over the season he's like, hey, man, like raccoon

151
00:06:11,160 --> 00:06:13,080
Speaker 6: is so good, Like you'll like it, I promise you.

152
00:06:13,600 --> 00:06:15,240
Speaker 6: I'm like, all right, like you know, we got a

153
00:06:15,240 --> 00:06:19,000
Speaker 6: good relationship. I'll trust you. I'll try it. So, you know,

154
00:06:19,040 --> 00:06:21,080
Speaker 6: he kept saying he's gonna bring in never did. Finally,

155
00:06:21,240 --> 00:06:23,720
Speaker 6: around Thanksgiving time, brings it in to the locker room

156
00:06:23,760 --> 00:06:25,960
Speaker 6: and it's like it's like he didn't have it in

157
00:06:26,000 --> 00:06:28,760
Speaker 6: the cooler, like it was just like in a tupperware

158
00:06:29,000 --> 00:06:31,560
Speaker 6: and he's like just like carrying it through the locker

159
00:06:31,640 --> 00:06:33,640
Speaker 6: room like not cold, like this is just like you,

160
00:06:34,000 --> 00:06:35,120
Speaker 6: this is room temperature.

161
00:06:35,200 --> 00:06:36,880
Speaker 3: Raccoon. You tried it and I tried it.

162
00:06:36,960 --> 00:06:39,880
Speaker 1: Did you try it? That's my last question. I did

163
00:06:39,920 --> 00:06:40,320
Speaker 1: not try it.

164
00:06:40,360 --> 00:06:41,200
Speaker 3: I have super spece.

165
00:06:42,600 --> 00:06:43,360
Speaker 1: I appreciate it.

166
00:06:44,000 --> 00:06:49,000
Speaker 6: Tap out and uh yeah, yes tomorrow I got nothing

167
00:06:49,040 --> 00:06:53,680
Speaker 6: so I'll see them all. So anyways, I took a

168
00:06:53,720 --> 00:06:56,120
Speaker 6: little pinch of it and I tried it.

169
00:06:55,960 --> 00:06:57,880
Speaker 1: It was like it's like a pitch of dip and he.

170
00:06:58,000 --> 00:07:01,880
Speaker 6: Swears that it's like good, and it's not good. Yeah,

171
00:07:01,920 --> 00:07:04,719
Speaker 6: it's not good. It's just like super well they obviously

172
00:07:05,560 --> 00:07:07,240
Speaker 6: his I think it's his uncle who makes it and

173
00:07:07,400 --> 00:07:09,200
Speaker 6: is like he swears, but oh, he's the only one

174
00:07:09,240 --> 00:07:11,120
Speaker 6: that can cook, the only one I'll eat it from.

175
00:07:11,160 --> 00:07:13,560
Speaker 6: And so I think they just put so much seasoning

176
00:07:13,600 --> 00:07:16,560
Speaker 6: on it. It's like you're just tasting tasting seasoning, got it,

177
00:07:16,720 --> 00:07:20,720
Speaker 6: you know, but like the actual meat is like it's disgusting.

178
00:07:20,960 --> 00:07:23,760
Speaker 2: Ah, yeah, I figured, you know, I'm not I'm gonna

179
00:07:23,800 --> 00:07:25,840
Speaker 2: lie like I get it. They say, like raccoons wash

180
00:07:25,880 --> 00:07:27,240
Speaker 2: their hands for the eat. What is the guy to

181
00:07:27,400 --> 00:07:29,960
Speaker 2: do what they're eating? You know, Like I'm I'm savage.

182
00:07:29,960 --> 00:07:31,840
Speaker 2: I'm glad I tried it though, cause it's like, you know,

183
00:07:32,040 --> 00:07:33,760
Speaker 2: you now know you never want any raccoon again.

184
00:07:33,840 --> 00:07:35,840
Speaker 6: Yeah, and like it's it's kind of cool, like how

185
00:07:35,840 --> 00:07:37,600
Speaker 6: many people have actually eaten raccoon?

186
00:07:37,760 --> 00:07:40,800
Speaker 1: Okay, I mean yeah, it's not gonna be me.

187
00:07:40,840 --> 00:07:44,520
Speaker 2: And I've had like random foods now, like I think

188
00:07:44,560 --> 00:07:48,040
Speaker 2: I've had horse and I didn't like wow, yeah, you know,

189
00:07:48,160 --> 00:07:49,800
Speaker 2: I hope I have never had dog.

190
00:07:49,880 --> 00:07:51,400
Speaker 1: But then again, I've gone to some places where I

191
00:07:51,480 --> 00:07:52,520
Speaker 1: never asked.

192
00:07:52,760 --> 00:07:54,680
Speaker 6: I think it just makes it worse that you like,

193
00:07:54,840 --> 00:07:57,080
Speaker 6: know what a raccoon is, you know what I mean,

194
00:07:57,120 --> 00:07:59,000
Speaker 6: Like if it was just like here's some meat, like

195
00:07:59,080 --> 00:07:59,680
Speaker 6: try it.

196
00:08:00,120 --> 00:08:02,840
Speaker 7: Yeah, you might partake. Yeah, I'm like, you've had that

197
00:08:03,000 --> 00:08:05,720
Speaker 7: rabbit before, right, Yeah, I've had rabbit. That's fine with that,

198
00:08:05,800 --> 00:08:08,760
Speaker 7: Like rabbits. Rabbits are fine, right, you know in my

199
00:08:08,880 --> 00:08:11,520
Speaker 7: mind like eventually I'll have armadillo one day. I've had

200
00:08:11,520 --> 00:08:14,560
Speaker 7: snake multiple times, crocodile, crocodile.

201
00:08:14,560 --> 00:08:15,120
Speaker 1: Absolutely.

Speaker 2: I think I've even had like shark somewhere blue whale,

203
00:08:18,600 --> 00:08:21,520
Speaker 2: which will probably get me struck by peda. But of course,

00:08:21,520 --> 00:08:25,000
Speaker 2: come on, my my six year old, no, my yeah,

Speaker 2: I've opened up their minds to other things, you know,

211
00:08:37,760 --> 00:08:39,640
Speaker 2: lived in Spain and somewhere she became a fan of

212
00:08:39,640 --> 00:08:41,400
Speaker 2: of poopo, which is octopus, and she's.

213

Speaker 3: Like, yeah, give it, that's funny. Yeah, monsters not what

214
00:08:44,200 --> 00:08:45,280
Speaker 3: I was eating when I was six.

215
00:08:45,480 --> 00:08:47,240
Speaker 1: Yeah, no, no, no, no, no, no, absolutely not.

216
00:08:47,440 --> 00:08:49,319
Speaker 2: I'm trying to figure out how to create a chip

217
00:08:49,600 --> 00:08:52,160
Speaker 2: for these kids, cause these kids are growing up like

218
00:08:52,160 --> 00:08:55,760
Speaker 2: the NIL era college kids, Like what do they actually

219
00:08:55,800 --> 00:08:56,400
Speaker 2: have to want?

220
00:08:56,520 --> 00:08:59,240
Speaker 1: Like the video game? Yeah they get those, like, you know,

221
00:09:00,320 --> 00:09:01,720
Speaker 1: don't have to worry about a food. I was going

222
00:09:01,760 --> 00:09:03,800
Speaker 1: to be there. Yeah, Like what where is their chip?

223
00:09:03,880 --> 00:09:04,880
Speaker 1: Their house? Amazing?

224
00:09:05,960 --> 00:09:08,400
Speaker 3: I know, I I often think about that.

225
00:09:08,440 --> 00:09:10,240
Speaker 6: I'm like, maybe when I'm done playing that we should

226
00:09:10,280 --> 00:09:14,360
Speaker 6: like move into like a you know, I don't know, yeah,

227
00:09:14,440 --> 00:09:19,040
Speaker 6: small little place just yeah, like hey, this is this

228
00:09:19,120 --> 00:09:21,080
Speaker 6: is like it's not just like you don't get to

229
00:09:21,120 --> 00:09:23,960
Speaker 6: just do whatever you want and have this cake little easy,

230
00:09:24,280 --> 00:09:26,800
Speaker 6: easy way in and out. But you know, I think

231
00:09:26,840 --> 00:09:30,079
Speaker 6: you just try to install those those that foundation and

232
00:09:30,080 --> 00:09:32,280
Speaker 6: and make sure that they understand, like you know that

233
00:09:32,360 --> 00:09:34,079
Speaker 6: you have to work hard and work for the things

234
00:09:34,160 --> 00:09:35,720
Speaker 6: you want, right, But it's hard to do.

235
00:09:35,840 --> 00:09:37,680
Speaker 2: It's hard to do, Like you can work hard and

236
00:09:37,720 --> 00:09:40,160
Speaker 2: do everything else, but you expect now to be rewarded.

237
00:09:40,280 --> 00:09:42,120
Speaker 6: I know, I know, I agree, it's it's tough, but

238
00:09:42,160 --> 00:09:44,720
Speaker 6: it makes you think differently when you have kids, right man.

239
00:09:44,679 --> 00:09:46,199
Speaker 2: That's all I'm like, I said, I'm trying to figure

240
00:09:46,240 --> 00:09:48,840
Speaker 2: this part out. I'm like, man, I've never had jay.

241

Speaker 6: Yeah, every year they got a new pair every year,

244
00:09:56,240 --> 00:09:57,280

247
00:10:02,480 --> 00:10:07,600
Speaker 2: I'm like, where's their chip? Anyways, I'm thinking, I'm thinking

00:10:34,640 --> 00:10:36,640
Speaker 6: grew up playing four sports all the way through high school.

261
00:10:36,640 --> 00:10:38,400
Speaker 3: So yeah, so.

262
00:10:40,240 --> 00:10:41,920

Speaker 3: We I never played soccer.

264
00:10:45,640 --> 00:10:47,000
Speaker 1: I was a soccer guy.

265
00:10:47,280 --> 00:10:48,480
Speaker 3: I don't know what it was.

266
00:10:48,520 --> 00:10:50,720
Speaker 6: I went to one soccer I have a soccer story,

267
00:10:50,920 --> 00:10:53,600
Speaker 6: but I went to one soccer practice when I was

268
00:10:53,640 --> 00:10:57,880
Speaker 6: probably five six years old, and my mom drops me off.

269
00:10:58,120 --> 00:10:58,680
Speaker 3: I get there.

270
00:10:59,120 --> 00:11:01,120
Speaker 6: The first thing we did was run laps around the

271
00:11:01,240 --> 00:11:04,760
Speaker 6: entire field, and I immediately never went back, never went

272
00:11:04,840 --> 00:11:07,080
Speaker 6: back to ever went to a soccer practice. Cover again,

273
00:11:07,120 --> 00:11:09,200
Speaker 6: like that, that's not me. Like, give me a ball

274
00:11:09,720 --> 00:11:13,440
Speaker 6: and give me a goal. I'm good, okay, But like

275
00:11:13,520 --> 00:11:17,040
Speaker 6: so the four sports football, basketball, baseball, and golf.

276
00:11:17,200 --> 00:11:19,320
Speaker 1: Oh wow, yep yep.

277
00:11:19,440 --> 00:11:21,360
Speaker 6: All the way through high school and then even even

278
00:11:21,640 --> 00:11:23,480
Speaker 6: my first year of college, came back and played summer

279
00:11:23,480 --> 00:11:25,720
Speaker 6: baseball just because I just I love to like I

00:11:25,720 --> 00:11:26,079
Speaker 6: love the.

281
00:11:26,080 --> 00:11:28,599
Speaker 3: Change of scenery. You know, I got a little add

282
00:11:28,720 --> 00:11:28,880
Speaker 3: you know.

283
00:11:30,720 --> 00:11:34,000
Speaker 2: Yeah, nobody's ever said, oh man, yours focus is so strong. No, no, no,

284
00:11:34,200 --> 00:11:35,479
Speaker 2: it's it's fleeting.

285
00:11:35,240 --> 00:11:37,240
Speaker 6: Yeah and so and so I just wanted to change

286
00:11:37,280 --> 00:11:38,880
Speaker 6: the pace. And then that made me excited.

287
00:11:38,920 --> 00:11:39,080
Speaker 3: You know.

288
00:11:39,360 --> 00:11:42,280
Speaker 6: When it went from football to basketball season, it was

289
00:11:42,400 --> 00:11:45,079
Speaker 6: like a whole new challenge and got to lock in

290
00:11:45,120 --> 00:11:47,200
Speaker 6: and you got to practice, and like you have this

291
00:11:47,360 --> 00:11:50,040
Speaker 6: urgency to get better quickly because you have like two

292
00:11:50,080 --> 00:11:53,120
Speaker 6: week break between football season and basketball season to like

293
00:11:53,720 --> 00:11:56,080
Speaker 6: get your skills, you know, freshened up. Where most of

294
00:11:56,080 --> 00:11:59,280
Speaker 6: the kids are just playing basketball. So they've been playing

295
00:11:59,280 --> 00:12:01,319
Speaker 6: all fall ball and all that. It's like, no, I'm

296
00:12:01,320 --> 00:12:03,640
Speaker 6: gonna find a way to be better than you with

297
00:12:03,720 --> 00:12:04,760
Speaker 6: two weeks of practice.

298
00:12:04,880 --> 00:12:05,360
Speaker 1: For sure.

299
00:12:05,679 --> 00:12:08,439
Speaker 2: It's the competitive in you. Like that's how we stay competitive.

300
00:12:08,760 --> 00:12:12,199
Speaker 2: I love the idea of like not singlely focusing on

301
00:12:12,200 --> 00:12:14,360
Speaker 2: one sport. Yeah, kids these days are like oh yeah,

302
00:12:14,400 --> 00:12:16,160
Speaker 2: like thirteen years old, like, yeah, I'll just play football,

303
00:12:16,200 --> 00:12:16,800
Speaker 2: tackle football.

304
00:12:17,200 --> 00:12:19,240
Speaker 1: How do you just play one sport?

305
00:12:19,440 --> 00:12:22,679
Speaker 6: I I have parents come up to me all the time, like,

306
00:12:22,720 --> 00:12:24,400
Speaker 6: you know, at watching my kids play sports.

307
00:12:24,440 --> 00:12:25,880
Speaker 1: Hey, what do you what do you think of them? Yeah?

308
00:12:25,920 --> 00:12:28,560
Speaker 6: What do you think about Like, well that too, but

309
00:12:28,640 --> 00:12:29,800
Speaker 6: you know, you get to like what do you think

310
00:12:29,800 --> 00:12:30,680
Speaker 6: about multi sports?

311
00:12:30,720 --> 00:12:32,040
Speaker 3: Do you think they should be specialized or not?

312
00:12:32,120 --> 00:12:34,800
Speaker 6: You know, but I always think it's like I wouldn't

313
00:12:34,840 --> 00:12:36,920
Speaker 6: be where I am without the sports I played, like

314
00:12:37,000 --> 00:12:40,400
Speaker 6: without basketball, Like most of what I do is from basketball, right,

315
00:12:40,400 --> 00:12:44,640
Speaker 6: body control and you know, being able to feel the

316
00:12:45,120 --> 00:12:49,160
Speaker 6: game and like feel the space around you is mostly

317
00:12:49,160 --> 00:12:49,920
Speaker 6: from basketball.

318
00:12:50,280 --> 00:12:51,760
Speaker 3: High pointing the ball and stuff like that.

319
00:12:51,880 --> 00:12:55,679
Speaker 2: Social awareness Yeah, yeah, absolutely. In soccer, you driven on

320
00:12:55,760 --> 00:12:57,160
Speaker 2: the ball, you have to be aware of not only

321
00:12:57,200 --> 00:12:59,040
Speaker 2: with the defender in front of you. But who's coming

322
00:12:59,080 --> 00:13:04,160
Speaker 2: for you? Yeah from the side, wow, crazy from you know,

323
00:13:04,160 --> 00:13:07,000
Speaker 2: from whatever the attack it is. I mean basketball, the

324
00:13:07,000 --> 00:13:08,840
Speaker 2: same way as you're drilling up, dribbling up the court,

325
00:13:09,080 --> 00:13:11,600
Speaker 2: you could have a trailer headed your way. You could have,

326
00:13:11,640 --> 00:13:13,160
Speaker 2: you know, a guy that you you try to pass to,

327
00:13:13,280 --> 00:13:14,800
Speaker 2: but oh man, you know you can't make a cross

328
00:13:14,880 --> 00:13:16,760
Speaker 2: court of pass. I'm like if I did, if I

329
00:13:16,840 --> 00:13:19,840
Speaker 2: just played football, just imagine just growing up a defensive lineman.

330
00:13:20,360 --> 00:13:21,720
Speaker 1: How shifty are you going to be?

331
00:13:21,800 --> 00:13:24,320
Speaker 2: Not so shifty if all you do is grow up

332
00:13:24,320 --> 00:13:26,240
Speaker 2: as a wide receiver. Yeah, you're gonna be fast and catch,

333
00:13:26,320 --> 00:13:27,920
Speaker 2: but like, are you gonna be able to be physical?

334
00:13:28,080 --> 00:13:28,640
Speaker 3: Yeah?

335
00:13:28,840 --> 00:13:32,120
Speaker 6: I always say like if I'm if I'm a scout

336
00:13:32,440 --> 00:13:35,240
Speaker 6: or if I'm a GM. Yeah, the first thing I'm

337
00:13:35,400 --> 00:13:37,880
Speaker 6: I'm watching is like, what what what they do in

338
00:13:37,920 --> 00:13:41,880
Speaker 6: high school basketball? Like were they scoring points where they

339
00:13:42,160 --> 00:13:44,480
Speaker 6: Like I don't want a guy that was a rebounder. Yeah,

340
00:13:44,559 --> 00:13:46,880
Speaker 6: I want a guy that was like dog getting the paint,

341
00:13:46,960 --> 00:13:49,760
Speaker 6: scoring points right, And like, that guy's gonna be good

342
00:13:49,800 --> 00:13:50,880
Speaker 6: receiver probably, And I want to I.

343
00:13:50,880 --> 00:13:53,000
Speaker 2: Want to know his mentality. Speaking of that, if you're

344
00:13:53,000 --> 00:13:54,480
Speaker 2: if you're a GM, right, are you gonna be like

345
00:13:54,480 --> 00:13:57,400
Speaker 2: the Ravens GM Eric da Costa, who who said they

346
00:13:57,480 --> 00:14:00,320
Speaker 2: use Madden ratings as part of their player of euation.

347
00:14:01,120 --> 00:14:03,720
Speaker 3: I am not using Man ratings for sure?

348
00:14:03,800 --> 00:14:04,640
Speaker 1: What next? Pff?

349
00:14:05,080 --> 00:14:12,160
Speaker 6: Uh definitely not pff no offensive pff people, But but

350
00:14:12,280 --> 00:14:12,719
Speaker 6: uh no.

351
00:14:12,880 --> 00:14:13,240
Speaker 3: I am.

352
00:14:13,480 --> 00:14:17,040
Speaker 6: I I just feel like there's so much of the

353
00:14:17,160 --> 00:14:22,080
Speaker 6: feel is gone from scouting. It's all numbers and all

354
00:14:22,120 --> 00:14:25,040
Speaker 6: the analytics, which some of that stuff is great, great,

355
00:14:25,080 --> 00:14:26,600
Speaker 6: but like there's no feel anymore.

356
00:14:26,680 --> 00:14:27,560
Speaker 3: You have some feel.

357
00:14:27,640 --> 00:14:29,840

Speaker 3: Right?

366
00:14:46,400 --> 00:14:48,520

372
00:14:59,480 --> 00:15:01,600
Speaker 6: It's like, if you don't know, if you haven't like

373
00:15:02,200 --> 00:15:04,640
Speaker 6: figured out the game by the end of your college career,

374
00:15:04,680 --> 00:15:07,320
Speaker 6: like probably not going to just like magically fast out

375
00:15:07,680 --> 00:15:10,080
Speaker 6: in the NFL. Absolutely, and the coaches are I mean

376
00:15:10,120 --> 00:15:11,520
Speaker 6: obviously coaching.

377
00:15:11,680 --> 00:15:12,520
Speaker 1: Coaching matters.

378
00:15:12,520 --> 00:15:14,480
Speaker 3: Coaching matters officially now that I know, I was.

379
00:15:14,440 --> 00:15:15,960
Speaker 1: Like, oh, no, you can always overcome coaching.

380
00:15:16,280 --> 00:15:19,520
Speaker 2: I have officially had coaching in a position where I

381
00:15:19,600 --> 00:15:22,520
Speaker 2: was like, you can't overcome this. Yeah, there's there's there's

382
00:15:22,520 --> 00:15:24,320
Speaker 2: guys that try to outthink themselves in this game, and

383
00:15:24,360 --> 00:15:26,160
Speaker 2: sometimes you have to let people be great with they're

384
00:15:26,160 --> 00:15:26,480
Speaker 2: great at.

385
00:15:26,920 --> 00:15:29,440

00:15:29,480 --> 00:15:32,040
Speaker 6: at in your career too, Right, it's a bummer for

387
00:15:32,160 --> 00:15:35,000

00:15:42,120 --> 00:15:45,400
Speaker 6: in it in the wrong direction, Uh, it can really

391
00:15:46,360 --> 00:15:46,720

392
00:15:47,760 --> 00:15:48,400
Speaker 1: Absolutely.

393
00:15:48,800 --> 00:15:50,680
