00:00:03,640 --> 00:00:06,480
Speaker 1: Welcome to another edition of the Official Jets Podcast, powered

2
00:00:06,480 --> 00:00:10,680
Speaker 1: by Amazon Web Services. Ethan Greenberg, Eric Allen back in

3
00:00:10,720 --> 00:00:13,640
Speaker 1: the home office. NFL protocol has got a little intense.

4
00:00:13,960 --> 00:00:17,280
Speaker 1: They kicked us out of the bed MGM studio essentially,

5
00:00:17,840 --> 00:00:20,640
Speaker 1: and now we're back at home. Just like Mark A. Listen,

6
00:00:20,720 --> 00:00:24,000
Speaker 1: we're dealing with the pandemic. The world continues to confront

7
00:00:24,400 --> 00:00:28,319
Speaker 1: an invisible enemy. I'm hearing that we're getting good news

8
00:00:28,400 --> 00:00:31,720
Speaker 1: on the back scene front Neck can't come soon enough,

9
00:00:31,840 --> 00:00:35,680
Speaker 1: And this goes down the list of importance. But man,

10
00:00:36,080 --> 00:00:39,680
Speaker 1: I really do not enjoy working from home. We have

11
00:00:39,720 --> 00:00:43,760
Speaker 1: a beautiful news studio at one Jets Drive. We were fortunate,

12
00:00:43,920 --> 00:00:49,240
Speaker 1: blessed to be there at the bed MGM studio for months,

13
00:00:49,479 --> 00:00:54,680
Speaker 1: but unfortunately we are back home working remotely, and uh,

14
00:00:54,960 --> 00:00:59,080
Speaker 1: you know, bottom line, this is insignificant compared to what

15
00:00:59,200 --> 00:01:04,440
Speaker 1: everybody i'll has dealt with. But I prefer to be

16
00:01:04,520 --> 00:01:06,959
Speaker 1: at the complex, like I bet you a lot of

17
00:01:06,959 --> 00:01:10,199
Speaker 1: people would. I definitely am one of those people. And

18
00:01:10,640 --> 00:01:12,679
Speaker 1: if you have a Ferrari in the garage like the

19
00:01:12,720 --> 00:01:15,320
Speaker 1: bet MGM studio, might as well drive it. But alas

20
00:01:15,680 --> 00:01:18,039
Speaker 1: we're just here at home going about our business. That

21
00:01:18,080 --> 00:01:20,319
Speaker 1: doesn't mean the coverage stops. We got Bryce Hall on

22
00:01:20,360 --> 00:01:23,319
Speaker 1: the podcast, Bart Scott joins us for our Victor Knox

23
00:01:23,400 --> 00:01:25,880
Speaker 1: Miss Army Knife Player of the Game segment. Have you

24
00:01:25,959 --> 00:01:30,679
Speaker 1: ever driven a Ferrari? No? Have you know? I mean

25
00:01:30,720 --> 00:01:34,280
Speaker 1: it sounds like it sounds nice. I never driven Ferrari.

26
00:01:34,600 --> 00:01:38,840
Speaker 1: Never driven a court vote either. That makes two of us, right,

27
00:01:39,120 --> 00:01:42,200
Speaker 1: So yeah, I've never driven a Lamborghini. If we're going

28
00:01:42,240 --> 00:01:44,960
Speaker 1: down the list or the A four mentioned bart Scott's

29
00:01:45,000 --> 00:01:48,240
Speaker 1: got a car collection, so I want to take one

30
00:01:48,280 --> 00:01:51,360
Speaker 1: of his mobiles off for spin one day. Yeah, well

31
00:01:51,520 --> 00:01:54,600
Speaker 1: maybe you know that sounds like a good pandemic activity.

32
00:01:54,840 --> 00:01:57,400
Speaker 1: We'll mask up getting the car. You can show us

33
00:01:57,400 --> 00:02:00,720
Speaker 1: a collection. Anyway, We got bart On, We got Bryce

34
00:02:00,760 --> 00:02:04,160
Speaker 1: Hall on. Bryce Hall is really interesting story. He's we

35
00:02:04,280 --> 00:02:05,920
Speaker 1: talk about this with him, but he's kind of like

36
00:02:05,960 --> 00:02:08,720
Speaker 1: on that Bless Austin track where you sit out the

37
00:02:08,760 --> 00:02:10,600
Speaker 1: first half of the year, you get thrown in the fire.

38
00:02:10,960 --> 00:02:14,440
Speaker 1: You become a fan favorite pretty much early on, and

39
00:02:14,480 --> 00:02:16,519
Speaker 1: I think that fans really like the way that Bryce

40
00:02:16,560 --> 00:02:19,960
Speaker 1: Hall has been competing over the past three weeks. If

41
00:02:19,960 --> 00:02:24,480
Speaker 1: you're a fan, this has been super frustrating season you're

42
00:02:24,639 --> 00:02:27,800
Speaker 1: entering December now and the Jets don't have a win.

43
00:02:28,400 --> 00:02:30,440
Speaker 1: With that being said, you got to be encouraged by

44
00:02:30,520 --> 00:02:33,240
Speaker 1: what you're seeing out at Joe Douglas's first draft class.

45
00:02:33,320 --> 00:02:38,520
Speaker 1: McKay Beckton one of the finest rookies out there right

46
00:02:38,560 --> 00:02:41,880
Speaker 1: now at the left tackle position. Looks like he will

47
00:02:41,880 --> 00:02:45,400
Speaker 1: be a pillar up front for years to come. Denzel

48
00:02:45,520 --> 00:02:51,000
Speaker 1: mims Uh continues to thrive at five consecutive games. He's

49
00:02:51,040 --> 00:02:54,080
Speaker 1: only played five games, forty plus yards receiving. He does

50
00:02:54,120 --> 00:02:57,760
Speaker 1: something every game now where you're like, Wow, this guy

51
00:02:58,200 --> 00:03:00,359
Speaker 1: he really could be something in national full A league.

52
00:03:00,400 --> 00:03:05,760
Speaker 1: Aston davis Um starting the last few games alongside Marcus May,

53
00:03:05,840 --> 00:03:08,640
Speaker 1: of course, and the list goes on, and then we

54
00:03:08,760 --> 00:03:11,480
Speaker 1: go to the fifth round. You get Bryce Hall, obviously

55
00:03:11,560 --> 00:03:14,680
Speaker 1: a tough start to his career. Suffered a serious ankle

56
00:03:14,720 --> 00:03:18,680
Speaker 1: injury in Virginia. People are talking about him maybe potentially

57
00:03:18,720 --> 00:03:22,120
Speaker 1: as a first round second round pick. Insteady last to

58
00:03:22,120 --> 00:03:25,400
Speaker 1: the fifth round. He's not available for the Jets to

59
00:03:25,639 --> 00:03:30,160
Speaker 1: play until halfway through this season. Now, he's three games

60
00:03:30,160 --> 00:03:34,520
Speaker 1: into his NFL career, has already started twice, and you

61
00:03:34,600 --> 00:03:37,320
Speaker 1: really talked about being thrown into the fire he gets

62
00:03:37,320 --> 00:03:40,600
Speaker 1: activated hours before playing against the New England Patriots on

63
00:03:40,640 --> 00:03:44,000
Speaker 1: Monday Night Football in your NFL debut, and he started

64
00:03:44,000 --> 00:03:46,480
Speaker 1: ever since. I think what I really like about Bryce

65
00:03:46,520 --> 00:03:49,680
Speaker 1: Hall is he's got height, he's got length, and he

66
00:03:49,800 --> 00:03:52,200
Speaker 1: was one of those guys where you know, you hear

67
00:03:52,200 --> 00:03:54,200
Speaker 1: about a lot of players like Bryce Hall in the

68
00:03:54,280 --> 00:03:57,680
Speaker 1: draft where they slide because they're heard, and then you

69
00:03:57,760 --> 00:04:01,440
Speaker 1: never really hear a whole lot about that after that. Well,

70
00:04:01,440 --> 00:04:04,480
Speaker 1: Bryce Hall, that's not the case, I would say for

71
00:04:04,920 --> 00:04:08,000
Speaker 1: He's played well for a rookie in his second and

72
00:04:08,080 --> 00:04:10,920
Speaker 1: third games in the NFL. He's obviously had a very

73
00:04:10,960 --> 00:04:14,160
Speaker 1: tough challenge against Keenan Allen and Mike Williams and his

74
00:04:14,240 --> 00:04:17,360
Speaker 1: first start, and then DeVante Parker is a very good

75
00:04:17,360 --> 00:04:21,839
Speaker 1: receiver too, and an extremely physical, tall receiver. And Bryce

76
00:04:21,920 --> 00:04:24,200
Speaker 1: Hall the rest of the year, I think you just

77
00:04:24,240 --> 00:04:27,320
Speaker 1: want to see him keep improving. And Phil Savage said

78
00:04:27,320 --> 00:04:31,440
Speaker 1: this once when the Jets drafted him, that the organization

79
00:04:31,520 --> 00:04:34,200
Speaker 1: was betting on the future with Bryce Hall. And I

80
00:04:34,240 --> 00:04:37,440
Speaker 1: think you're starting to see why. He found a ball

81
00:04:37,520 --> 00:04:40,960
Speaker 1: that last year he played at Virginia, last full year

82
00:04:41,200 --> 00:04:45,080
Speaker 1: at u v A, he led the CIA in past defenses,

83
00:04:45,200 --> 00:04:48,840
Speaker 1: big guy, physical, long, you can tell he loves ball.

84
00:04:48,960 --> 00:04:52,120
Speaker 1: He's not intimidated by the moment right now. Yes, these

85
00:04:52,200 --> 00:04:55,080
Speaker 1: guys are definitely, uh have been put in the fire

86
00:04:55,120 --> 00:04:58,440
Speaker 1: in the secondary you're talking about. There were a couple

87
00:04:58,440 --> 00:05:03,080
Speaker 1: of plays out there a against the Dolphins where Ryan Fitzpatrick,

88
00:05:03,120 --> 00:05:05,760
Speaker 1: who's playing in nfil for a hundred seventy five years,

89
00:05:06,240 --> 00:05:10,520
Speaker 1: he's lining up and he's looking at a secondary that

90
00:05:10,680 --> 00:05:15,160
Speaker 1: has Bryce Hall starting, has Lamar Jackson, undrafted free agent

91
00:05:15,400 --> 00:05:19,360
Speaker 1: out of Nebraska, Javelin Gidrey got in there for a

92
00:05:19,400 --> 00:05:21,920
Speaker 1: few snaps at the cornerback position to a fore mentioned

93
00:05:22,000 --> 00:05:25,880
Speaker 1: Ashton Davis. So these guys are all learning and sometimes

94
00:05:25,920 --> 00:05:28,720
Speaker 1: they're gonna have rough moments along the way. But Haul

95
00:05:28,800 --> 00:05:31,960
Speaker 1: as a kid who's got a great attitude. Um and again,

96
00:05:32,160 --> 00:05:35,800
Speaker 1: a lot of quarterbacks have very good physical attributes, but

97
00:05:35,880 --> 00:05:38,960
Speaker 1: they can't find the football. He showed in college that

98
00:05:39,120 --> 00:05:42,840
Speaker 1: he can find it, so let's see where his path

99
00:05:43,320 --> 00:05:46,400
Speaker 1: takes him. But uh, definitely, the moment hasn't been too

100
00:05:46,480 --> 00:05:49,240
Speaker 1: big for him. I thought the secondary played better against

101
00:05:49,279 --> 00:05:52,680
Speaker 1: the Dolphins than they did against the Chargers. Man, they

102
00:05:52,760 --> 00:05:56,400
Speaker 1: got another test this week against the Las Vegas Raiders

103
00:05:56,520 --> 00:05:59,880
Speaker 1: because the Raiders got smoked against Atlanta and they're going

104
00:06:00,000 --> 00:06:02,880
Speaker 1: to come in here as a desperate launch. Derek Carr

105
00:06:03,360 --> 00:06:06,840
Speaker 1: sometimes he looks like an elite quarterback quarterback and sometimes

106
00:06:06,920 --> 00:06:10,720
Speaker 1: he struggles, but they do have some weapons, and uh

107
00:06:11,120 --> 00:06:13,960
Speaker 1: Hall is going to be better for all these experiences

108
00:06:14,160 --> 00:06:17,320
Speaker 1: to come. All right, Well enough talking about him, let's

109
00:06:17,360 --> 00:06:21,200
Speaker 1: hear from Bryce hall Price. Thanks for joining us. Thank

110
00:06:21,240 --> 00:06:23,920
Speaker 1: you for having me. So the first thing first, I

111
00:06:23,960 --> 00:06:25,960
Speaker 1: gotta get this out of the way. You're an A

112
00:06:26,080 --> 00:06:28,440
Speaker 1: C C guy. I'm an a C C guy. I'm

113
00:06:28,480 --> 00:06:31,240
Speaker 1: a Syracuse alum. So Syracuse in Virginia don't really like

114
00:06:31,400 --> 00:06:35,240
Speaker 1: each other, at least on the hardwood. But football, I mean,

115
00:06:35,600 --> 00:06:38,760
Speaker 1: we don't really play football up there. So did you

116
00:06:38,839 --> 00:06:43,880
Speaker 1: ever play Syracuse? No? I I never played Syracuse. And

117
00:06:44,120 --> 00:06:46,720
Speaker 1: what is what is the rep of Syracuse basketball on

118
00:06:46,839 --> 00:06:51,480
Speaker 1: Virginia campus? Oh where? Every time we see him on

119
00:06:51,560 --> 00:06:56,160
Speaker 1: the court, we gotta win that one. Well, Bryce, I've

120
00:06:56,240 --> 00:06:59,080
Speaker 1: went to graduate school at the University of Florida. Your

121
00:06:59,160 --> 00:07:04,360
Speaker 1: last colleague game came was against the Gators in the

122
00:07:04,520 --> 00:07:08,279
Speaker 1: Orange Bowl and la Michael p Run had a big game.

123
00:07:08,480 --> 00:07:12,240
Speaker 1: Have you guys had an opportunity to discuss that you're

124
00:07:12,440 --> 00:07:18,080
Speaker 1: both both of your guys last collegiate game against each other. Yeah,

125
00:07:18,240 --> 00:07:21,640
Speaker 1: we um, So unfortunately, you know, I was injured during

126
00:07:21,680 --> 00:07:24,000
Speaker 1: that game, so I didn't get to play. So but um,

127
00:07:24,160 --> 00:07:28,320
Speaker 1: I've definitely talked to La Michael and Jabari also he played,

128
00:07:29,200 --> 00:07:31,800
Speaker 1: but I talked to them, you know, multiple times about

129
00:07:31,840 --> 00:07:34,800
Speaker 1: that game and just us playing against us. You know,

130
00:07:34,880 --> 00:07:37,840
Speaker 1: it's funny because like those Florida dudes, they just they

131
00:07:37,920 --> 00:07:40,000
Speaker 1: got so much pride and they feel like, you know,

132
00:07:40,160 --> 00:07:42,200
Speaker 1: we weren't even supposed to be with him in that game.

133
00:07:42,280 --> 00:07:44,680
Speaker 1: And I always, you know, I'll talk trash to him

134
00:07:44,720 --> 00:07:46,440
Speaker 1: and tell him like, how are you gonna let us?

135
00:07:46,800 --> 00:07:48,720
Speaker 1: You know, we should have beat you all? Actually, you know,

136
00:07:48,880 --> 00:07:51,960
Speaker 1: you let us hang around. So it's funny when I

137
00:07:52,040 --> 00:07:54,400
Speaker 1: talked to him about Well, the reason I bring that up, though,

138
00:07:54,560 --> 00:07:58,800
Speaker 1: is because I think it speaks to what you guys

139
00:07:58,880 --> 00:08:02,000
Speaker 1: built at the University of Virginia. And you talked about

140
00:08:02,000 --> 00:08:03,960
Speaker 1: it the other day that when you were a freshman,

141
00:08:04,080 --> 00:08:07,280
Speaker 1: you were too intent and obviously you got hurt your

142
00:08:07,320 --> 00:08:09,800
Speaker 1: senior season, so you weren't able to play in that

143
00:08:09,960 --> 00:08:13,560
Speaker 1: ball game. But you guys went from to intent to

144
00:08:13,800 --> 00:08:18,680
Speaker 1: an Orange Bowl appearance. If somebody asked you why you

145
00:08:18,800 --> 00:08:21,160
Speaker 1: guys were able to build it up, what were the

146
00:08:21,240 --> 00:08:27,040
Speaker 1: most significant reasons? Well, you know, first off, we had

147
00:08:27,360 --> 00:08:31,480
Speaker 1: a coach that you know, I head coach, you know, Bronkomano.

148
00:08:31,600 --> 00:08:35,520
Speaker 1: He was an exceptional, exceptional leader. And one of the

149
00:08:35,679 --> 00:08:39,400
Speaker 1: things that he instilled in us was he always, first off,

150
00:08:39,440 --> 00:08:41,880
Speaker 1: he always talked about will before skills. So it wasn't

151
00:08:41,920 --> 00:08:45,360
Speaker 1: about talent, it wasn't about you know, the ability. It

152
00:08:45,480 --> 00:08:48,240
Speaker 1: was about if we wanted it bad enough. And so

153
00:08:48,520 --> 00:08:52,440
Speaker 1: he instilled in us just a belief and a vision

154
00:08:53,040 --> 00:08:56,760
Speaker 1: that it wasn't a matter of you know, if we

155
00:08:56,800 --> 00:08:59,320
Speaker 1: would turn things around, it was a matter of when

156
00:08:59,520 --> 00:09:02,040
Speaker 1: and with whom, and so the choice was up to

157
00:09:02,200 --> 00:09:05,240
Speaker 1: us really, and so he just really instilled that just

158
00:09:05,440 --> 00:09:10,000
Speaker 1: belief in us that we could really you know, be successful.

159
00:09:10,200 --> 00:09:12,880
Speaker 1: And on top of that, we worked like crazy, you know,

160
00:09:12,960 --> 00:09:15,920
Speaker 1: in the off season and during the season, you know,

161
00:09:16,440 --> 00:09:20,360
Speaker 1: and our work ethic matched what we were trying to accomplish.

162
00:09:20,800 --> 00:09:24,040
Speaker 1: And I think, you know, with that, that really helped

163
00:09:24,120 --> 00:09:27,439
Speaker 1: us turn things around. A Virginia Bryce, what do you

164
00:09:27,520 --> 00:09:30,719

166
00:09:36,040 --> 00:09:37,959
Speaker 1: you know, with my free time, you know, I just

167
00:09:38,040 --> 00:09:39,880
Speaker 1: like to spend time with my wife. You know, we

168
00:09:40,040 --> 00:09:43,160
Speaker 1: hang out, you know, relax you know, our some you know,

169
00:09:43,320 --> 00:09:45,679
Speaker 1: movies every once in a while. And you know, I

170
00:09:45,800 --> 00:09:49,680
Speaker 1: like to read, you know, something that keeps me emotionally stable.

171
00:09:49,800 --> 00:09:52,280
Speaker 1: You know. I like to you know, memorize and read

172
00:09:52,320 --> 00:09:54,599
Speaker 1: scripture and stuff like that. That's kind of off the

173
00:09:54,720 --> 00:09:58,040
Speaker 1: field and away from football. I like to you know,

174
00:09:58,160 --> 00:10:00,679
Speaker 1: get away and then close into you know, stay you know,

175

00:10:03,559 --> 00:10:05,960
Speaker 1: I don't really do too much, you know, especially during

177
00:10:06,000 --> 00:10:09,360
Speaker 1: the season. Um, and you know, stuff like that just

178
00:10:09,480 --> 00:10:12,240
Speaker 1: helps me stay locked in and at the same time

179
00:10:12,320 --> 00:10:16,000
Speaker 1: stay emotionally grounded. And I'm in the rights right state

180
00:10:16,040 --> 00:10:18,800
Speaker 1: of mind. How long have you been married now, and

181
00:10:19,040 --> 00:10:21,000
Speaker 1: where did you meet your wife? Because a lot of

182
00:10:21,080 --> 00:10:23,839
Speaker 1: guys your fifth round pick out of u v A,

183
00:10:24,600 --> 00:10:27,120
Speaker 1: a lot of guys your age at this point in

184
00:10:27,200 --> 00:10:33,400
Speaker 1: their careers, they're still single. Yeah, you know, honestly, so

185
00:10:33,480 --> 00:10:36,840
Speaker 1: I met my wife obviously at the University of Virginia.

186
00:10:36,920 --> 00:10:40,920
Speaker 1: She was she played field hockey there and you know,

187
00:10:41,120 --> 00:10:45,560
Speaker 1: we were acquaintances, we weren't really like close close until

188
00:10:45,720 --> 00:10:48,880
Speaker 1: like we actually went on a mission trip going into

189
00:10:49,320 --> 00:10:53,680
Speaker 1: my uh senior at the year, going into my senior year,

190
00:10:53,840 --> 00:10:57,120
Speaker 1: and there we really got really close. And you know,

191
00:10:57,280 --> 00:10:59,880
Speaker 1: after that, you know, it was just a friendship. And

192
00:11:00,040 --> 00:11:03,160
Speaker 1: then you know, after you know, that friendship, it was

193
00:11:03,240 --> 00:11:05,120
Speaker 1: kind of float into the relationship. You know, when I

194
00:11:05,200 --> 00:11:08,640
Speaker 1: broke my ankle, you know, um, my senior year, that's

195
00:11:08,640 --> 00:11:11,559
Speaker 1: when I had really had time to get away from football.

196
00:11:11,760 --> 00:11:13,480
Speaker 1: You know, I was you know, before the seas, I

197
00:11:13,559 --> 00:11:15,839
Speaker 1: was go, go, go focus, and then you know, she

198
00:11:15,960 --> 00:11:18,280
Speaker 1: was helping me out a lot, and um, we really

199
00:11:18,320 --> 00:11:22,080
Speaker 1: got closer during that time. And so from that friendship

200
00:11:22,200 --> 00:11:25,079
Speaker 1: or flowed into a relationship and not too long, like

201
00:11:25,720 --> 00:11:28,120
Speaker 1: not even we were dating for about like six months

202
00:11:28,160 --> 00:11:30,480
Speaker 1: and then we ended up getting married. You know, things

203
00:11:30,520 --> 00:11:33,839
Speaker 1: were moved really quickly. Um, but I just think you know,

204
00:11:34,000 --> 00:11:38,920
Speaker 1: we knew, you know, um pretty early, like I knew

205
00:11:39,160 --> 00:11:41,240
Speaker 1: like she was the one, you know that I really

206
00:11:41,280 --> 00:11:44,240
Speaker 1: wanted to be with, and so things kind of moved

207
00:11:44,280 --> 00:11:47,200
Speaker 1: really quickly. I mean I never expected to be married

208
00:11:47,320 --> 00:11:50,120
Speaker 1: this earlier, this young, but it just kind of worked

209
00:11:50,160 --> 00:11:52,200
Speaker 1: out like that and you know, I'm happy it did

210
00:11:52,240 --> 00:11:55,920
Speaker 1: because it was the best decision I've ever made. Awesome.

211
00:11:55,960 --> 00:11:58,120
Speaker 1: That that's awesome. Price. You know you told me on

212
00:11:58,200 --> 00:12:02,000
Speaker 1: the fort of our troll at your dad and your

213
00:12:02,120 --> 00:12:04,400
Speaker 1: wife are the two cooks in your family. You're just

214
00:12:04,520 --> 00:12:07,960
Speaker 1: a taste ester. So what is your wife's best dish

215
00:12:08,080 --> 00:12:12,800
Speaker 1: that you like? Wow? She makes you know, she impressed

216
00:12:12,840 --> 00:12:16,839
Speaker 1: me this um Thanksgivings, my first Thanksgiving. She made some

217
00:12:17,120 --> 00:12:21,920
Speaker 1: really give food. I mean with the sweet potatoes, the mccronei,

218
00:12:22,240 --> 00:12:26,760
Speaker 1: the green being casserole like that might have just noted

219
00:12:27,240 --> 00:12:29,800
Speaker 1: some of the things she's done in the past. Um,

220
00:12:30,360 --> 00:12:34,199
Speaker 1: So it's hard to say, but yeah, Thanksgiving me. It's good.

221
00:12:34,280 --> 00:12:37,120
Speaker 1: She also doesn't make this really really really good like

222
00:12:37,360 --> 00:12:40,200
Speaker 1: pumpkins salad. It's kind of like a New Zealand dish

223
00:12:40,480 --> 00:12:43,040
Speaker 1: where it's like, you know, pumpkins and it's like healthy

224
00:12:43,520 --> 00:12:45,679
Speaker 1: with rowing some chicken and all this other stuff. So

225
00:12:47,360 --> 00:12:51,280
Speaker 1: how competitive are you two with each other? She played

226
00:12:51,440 --> 00:12:55,240
Speaker 1: field hockey, obviously, now you are a pro football player.

227
00:12:55,760 --> 00:12:59,120
Speaker 1: You guys don't get to these points in your lives

228
00:12:59,720 --> 00:13:04,400
Speaker 1: with out having great drive. So I gotta imagine sometimes

229
00:13:04,520 --> 00:13:09,080
Speaker 1: there are certain things that you're competing against each other. Well,

230
00:13:09,360 --> 00:13:13,599
Speaker 1: she's honestly more competitive, I think, like than me, and

231
00:13:13,679 --> 00:13:16,959
Speaker 1: a lot of things like and an example of this,

232
00:13:17,320 --> 00:13:21,600
Speaker 1: we like played golf together like before in this past summer,

233
00:13:22,520 --> 00:13:26,920
Speaker 1: and she was like, like our personalities just came out.

234
00:13:27,640 --> 00:13:30,599
Speaker 1: I'm was like more of the because this is the

235
00:13:30,640 --> 00:13:32,959
Speaker 1: first time we both like really played golf, and so

236
00:13:33,240 --> 00:13:35,800
Speaker 1: she's like, just get the ball on the t hit it,

237
00:13:35,920 --> 00:13:39,000
Speaker 1: let's go. And I'm like trying to analyze what's the

238
00:13:39,160 --> 00:13:43,679
Speaker 1: swing technique, what uh like I need to do to

239
00:13:43,760 --> 00:13:47,599
Speaker 1: have the most successful hit. And then she was just

240
00:13:47,760 --> 00:13:51,120
Speaker 1: talking trashed the whole time, just like you're gonna like,

241
00:13:51,280 --> 00:13:53,560
Speaker 1: you know, like literally just trying to show me up

242
00:13:53,640 --> 00:13:56,599
Speaker 1: on the golf course. And I had to like like

243
00:13:56,840 --> 00:13:59,439
Speaker 1: refrain myself from like getting caught up in the mess

244
00:14:00,080 --> 00:14:03,599
Speaker 1: because she is very like she's she loves to like

245
00:14:03,800 --> 00:14:06,679
Speaker 1: talk and chat and so she was very vocal on

246
00:14:06,800 --> 00:14:10,600
Speaker 1: the golf course, like and um, but she's very competitive

247
00:14:10,920 --> 00:14:12,559
Speaker 1: and you know a lot she kind of has a

248
00:14:12,600 --> 00:14:15,040
Speaker 1: little chip on the shoulder since he knows I'm you know,

249
00:14:15,080 --> 00:14:17,120
Speaker 1: I do this for a living. She likes to jab

250
00:14:17,160 --> 00:14:18,719
Speaker 1: at me and let her know she still got it

251
00:14:18,800 --> 00:14:22,720
Speaker 1: in him in her So yeah, I'll say that all right.

252
00:14:23,080 --> 00:14:25,160
Speaker 1: So what I gather from that is one that you're

253
00:14:25,200 --> 00:14:28,920
Speaker 1: new to golf, and two is that you're not a

254
00:14:29,040 --> 00:14:31,640
Speaker 1: huge trash talker or is that just trash talking on

255
00:14:31,720 --> 00:14:33,720
Speaker 1: the golf course, Like do you talk at all on

256
00:14:33,800 --> 00:14:37,440
Speaker 1: the field. Yeah. You know, it's funny because my former

257
00:14:37,520 --> 00:14:40,080
Speaker 1: trash talk is different from a lot of people's. You know,

258
00:14:40,240 --> 00:14:42,240
Speaker 1: like you get a lot of people that yell, and

259
00:14:42,840 --> 00:14:45,520
Speaker 1: you know, they'll let you know. I'm more of the

260
00:14:45,680 --> 00:14:48,680
Speaker 1: type that I'll have a conversation with you and it

261
00:14:48,760 --> 00:14:53,880
Speaker 1: will be more like, you know, directive and like I'm

262
00:14:54,120 --> 00:14:56,840
Speaker 1: I'm actually saying things rather than just yelling. And I

263
00:14:56,920 --> 00:14:59,120
Speaker 1: think that gets under people's skin a little bit more

264
00:14:59,320 --> 00:15:02,440
Speaker 1: because I'm not yelling, but I'm calm when I'm when

265
00:15:02,480 --> 00:15:05,480
Speaker 1: I'm speaking, and it's like it throws people off. So

266
00:15:06,280 --> 00:15:08,240
Speaker 1: you know, that's kind of how I go about doing that.

267
00:15:08,440 --> 00:15:11,240
Speaker 1: But for the most part, I'm I'm pretty locked in

268
00:15:11,320 --> 00:15:13,320
Speaker 1: on what I need to do, and you know it'll

269
00:15:13,400 --> 00:15:16,080
Speaker 1: come out if I get you know, provoked a little bit.

270
00:15:16,200 --> 00:15:18,040
Speaker 1: But that's kind of my angle. And I found like

271
00:15:18,440 --> 00:15:20,640
Speaker 1: it's a little bit in college that I've had more

272
00:15:20,680 --> 00:15:25,760
Speaker 1: success with that than yelling. So how do it locked in?

273
00:15:26,040 --> 00:15:29,920
Speaker 1: But have you always been blessed with patients? Considering what

274
00:15:30,160 --> 00:15:33,040
Speaker 1: you've been through over the last eighteen months. You go

275
00:15:33,280 --> 00:15:36,880
Speaker 1: down against Miami, you decided to come back. A lot

276
00:15:36,960 --> 00:15:39,640
Speaker 1: of people said, hey, Bryce Hall, if he came out,

277
00:15:39,800 --> 00:15:42,520
Speaker 1: what about the first second round pick? Instead, you go back,

278
00:15:43,280 --> 00:15:46,200
Speaker 1: You go down with a serious injury, you gotta rehab

279
00:15:47,400 --> 00:15:50,680
Speaker 1: your fifth round selection, and then you don't get on

280
00:15:50,800 --> 00:15:54,360
Speaker 1: the field for half of your first professional season, and

281
00:15:54,520 --> 00:15:59,040
Speaker 1: now you're three games into your NFL career. Yeah, you know,

282
00:15:59,320 --> 00:16:01,520
Speaker 1: it's not some than I always had. It's something I

283
00:16:01,640 --> 00:16:03,920
Speaker 1: had to like really grow into and I think through

284
00:16:04,680 --> 00:16:06,440
Speaker 1: you know, the things that I've been through has made

285
00:16:06,440 --> 00:16:10,840
Speaker 1: me a very patient person. Um, But you know, I

286
00:16:10,880 --> 00:16:13,200
Speaker 1: wouldn't change the thing. You know, I really felt lead

287
00:16:13,240 --> 00:16:15,640
Speaker 1: on my heart. You know, I felt like, you know,

288
00:16:15,880 --> 00:16:19,400
Speaker 1: because I had I didn't just make the decision off

289
00:16:19,440 --> 00:16:21,760
Speaker 1: a whim, like you know, I talked to people, I

290
00:16:21,840 --> 00:16:24,880
Speaker 1: had prayed about it. I you know, really like sought

291
00:16:25,640 --> 00:16:28,360
Speaker 1: wisdom and what I was doing. And I really felt

292
00:16:28,400 --> 00:16:31,000
Speaker 1: on my heart, you know, the Lord and people it

293
00:16:31,120 --> 00:16:33,120
Speaker 1: was like, you know, was saying, you know, it's time

294
00:16:33,200 --> 00:16:35,240
Speaker 1: to come like you should come back, like there's more

295
00:16:36,000 --> 00:16:38,640
Speaker 1: And I don't regret my decision at all. You know,

296
00:16:38,720 --> 00:16:40,600
Speaker 1: had I not come back, you know, I never would

297
00:16:40,600 --> 00:16:42,320
Speaker 1: have met my wife. I never would have you know,

298
00:16:42,600 --> 00:16:45,720
Speaker 1: I learned so many lessons through this, all this stuff

299
00:16:45,760 --> 00:16:48,040
Speaker 1: and just you know what I've gone through and just

300
00:16:48,400 --> 00:16:52,120
Speaker 1: being able to um, just learned so much and develop

301
00:16:52,200 --> 00:16:54,240
Speaker 1: and challenge and pushed me as a leader in the person.

302
00:16:55,040 --> 00:16:57,800
Speaker 1: And so you know, I don't believe that I made

303
00:16:57,840 --> 00:16:59,840
Speaker 1: the wrong decision at all. And I'm like where I'm

304
00:17:00,000 --> 00:17:03,840
Speaker 1: opposed to be, and um, yeah, that's just kind of

305
00:17:03,920 --> 00:17:07,560
Speaker 1: how things went. And I don't question you know, um,

306
00:17:08,200 --> 00:17:11,000
Speaker 1: how things ended up. And you know, yet, you know,

307
00:17:11,119 --> 00:17:13,240
Speaker 1: we have our own ideas and plans of how we

308
00:17:13,320 --> 00:17:15,640
Speaker 1: would like things to turn out, but it doesn't always happen.

309
00:17:15,760 --> 00:17:18,560
Speaker 1: And you know, sometimes we look back and we're like, oh,

310
00:17:19,040 --> 00:17:21,040
Speaker 1: you know, now I get what I had to go

311
00:17:21,200 --> 00:17:24,240
Speaker 1: through certain things. So that's just my mindset in my

312
00:17:24,320 --> 00:17:27,879
Speaker 1: opinion on it. Bryce. Do you talk to or have

313
00:17:28,040 --> 00:17:30,880
Speaker 1: you in the past talked with Blessed Austin at all

314
00:17:30,920 --> 00:17:33,359
Speaker 1: about his path, because when I look at his path,

315
00:17:33,720 --> 00:17:36,239
Speaker 1: he was someone that was coming off an injury when

316
00:17:36,240 --> 00:17:39,680
Speaker 1: he got drafted sixth round pick with talent, spends the

317
00:17:39,760 --> 00:17:43,480
Speaker 1: first half of the year getting healthy, and then similar

318
00:17:43,520 --> 00:17:45,760
Speaker 1: to you, after the bye week, he starts to play

319
00:17:45,840 --> 00:17:48,440
Speaker 1: and he gets thrown into the fire early, very much

320
00:17:48,600 --> 00:17:50,879
Speaker 1: like yourself. So I was wondering if you two have

321
00:17:51,000 --> 00:17:57,479
Speaker 1: had any discussions about that in particular. Yeah, definitely. UM.

322
00:17:58,280 --> 00:18:02,119
Speaker 1: He has been somebody who's been really helpful for me

323
00:18:02,320 --> 00:18:04,919
Speaker 1: in this process because he literally went through the same thing,

324
00:18:05,600 --> 00:18:08,720
Speaker 1: and so he's been, you know, super helpful with just

325
00:18:08,800 --> 00:18:11,720
Speaker 1: giving me tips and pointers and just helping me be

326
00:18:11,880 --> 00:18:17,520
Speaker 1: prepared for UM, what to expect and what to you know, UM,

327
00:18:17,680 --> 00:18:21,560
Speaker 1: due to put myself in the best position possible, UM

328
00:18:21,800 --> 00:18:25,080
Speaker 1: to be ready, you know. And so I have gone

329
00:18:25,119 --> 00:18:27,639
Speaker 1: to him. He's been, you know, a good teammate and

330
00:18:27,840 --> 00:18:31,080
Speaker 1: he's been helpful on this journey. That's one of the

331
00:18:31,200 --> 00:18:35,320
Speaker 1: best public institutions in the United States, the University of Virginia.

332
00:18:35,680 --> 00:18:39,080
Speaker 1: So tell us what you studied in Charlottesville and why

333
00:18:39,160 --> 00:18:44,439
Speaker 1: you decided to go in that direction. So I'm majored

334
00:18:44,560 --> 00:18:48,399
Speaker 1: in UM. It's actually this actually is a new major

335
00:18:48,840 --> 00:18:55,000
Speaker 1: that UM about that came up or that was instituted

336
00:18:55,280 --> 00:18:58,440
Speaker 1: a few years ago and it's called Youth and Social Innovation.

337
00:18:58,760 --> 00:19:02,080
Speaker 1: So it's basically in the school of education. So it's

338
00:19:02,280 --> 00:19:04,480
Speaker 1: it's very very wide open as far as what you

339
00:19:04,560 --> 00:19:07,920
Speaker 1: can do with it. But basically it's just you know,

340
00:19:08,760 --> 00:19:11,840
Speaker 1: in some former capacity, you know, I'll be educating the

341
00:19:11,960 --> 00:19:15,760
Speaker 1: youth and impacting them in a positive way through you know,

342
00:19:16,119 --> 00:19:18,879
Speaker 1: whether it's if I wanted to be a counselor if

343
00:19:18,920 --> 00:19:22,600
Speaker 1: I wanted to do you know, after school program or

344
00:19:23,240 --> 00:19:26,399
Speaker 1: you know, whatever it may be. Um, that's what I

345
00:19:27,200 --> 00:19:30,600
Speaker 1: major in, and um, I loved it. You know, we

346
00:19:30,720 --> 00:19:33,240
Speaker 1: got to do you know a lot of field work

347
00:19:33,280 --> 00:19:35,439
Speaker 1: where I went in and work with kids and stuff

348
00:19:35,480 --> 00:19:39,720
Speaker 1: like that, and I thought it was awesome. So, given

349
00:19:39,800 --> 00:19:43,560
Speaker 1: what you just said and what you studied, if football

350
00:19:43,640 --> 00:19:45,560
Speaker 1: weren't an option for you, or even let's just say

351
00:19:45,640 --> 00:19:47,359
Speaker 1: down the road, like, what do you hope to do

352
00:19:47,880 --> 00:19:56,200
Speaker 1: giving your education? Yeah, that's a good question. Um. You know,

353
00:19:56,920 --> 00:20:00,320
Speaker 1: a couple of people have like you know, it's you know,

354
00:20:00,480 --> 00:20:02,320
Speaker 1: you could go in and like do some type of

355
00:20:02,400 --> 00:20:07,440
Speaker 1: like motivational speaking or do something like that. Um, where

356
00:20:07,480 --> 00:20:11,040
Speaker 1: I'm just like helping to you know, motivate people, or

357
00:20:11,080 --> 00:20:14,280
Speaker 1: if I'm helping to inspire young people, are teaching some

358
00:20:14,480 --> 00:20:18,000
Speaker 1: sort of some sort of way. So I have no idea,

359
00:20:18,080 --> 00:20:21,119
Speaker 1: honestly what I would be doing, because that's you know,

360
00:20:21,200 --> 00:20:24,960
Speaker 1: there's just so many plethora of options that I could do.

361
00:20:25,760 --> 00:20:28,639
Speaker 1: But I know i'd probably be you know, teaching some

362
00:20:28,920 --> 00:20:32,679
Speaker 1: young people something, whether if it's life skills, whether if

363
00:20:32,760 --> 00:20:38,200
Speaker 1: it's you know, football or um. That is just probably

364
00:20:38,240 --> 00:20:40,440
Speaker 1: what I would see myself doing because I just like

365
00:20:40,560 --> 00:20:43,240
Speaker 1: to do that naturally. You know, I feel like I've

366
00:20:43,240 --> 00:20:45,920
Speaker 1: got a lot of knowledge and experience, and you know,

367
00:20:45,960 --> 00:20:49,560
Speaker 1: I could just help teach people what I learned. Back

368
00:20:49,600 --> 00:20:52,240
Speaker 1: to the field, as we flipped back and forth here,

369
00:20:53,119 --> 00:20:55,800
Speaker 1: do you ever have, uh, you know, a moment where

370
00:20:55,800 --> 00:20:59,159
Speaker 1: you gotta pinch yourself and you're lining up against DeVante Parker,

371
00:20:59,320 --> 00:21:02,160
Speaker 1: one of theough else top receivers, and you're being asked

372
00:21:02,200 --> 00:21:06,440
Speaker 1: to play man coverage and you come over the sidelines say, man,

373
00:21:06,520 --> 00:21:10,280
Speaker 1: I'm here, this is it. You know. I had that

374
00:21:10,400 --> 00:21:13,200
Speaker 1: moment actually last week when I was going to give

375
00:21:13,280 --> 00:21:18,040
Speaker 1: Keenyan Allen and because that was pretty awesome, and you know,

376
00:21:18,119 --> 00:21:20,960
Speaker 1: I had the moment when I stepped in you know,

377
00:21:21,160 --> 00:21:24,040
Speaker 1: like you know, my first game when I played against

378
00:21:24,080 --> 00:21:27,480
Speaker 1: the Patriots. That was pretty pretty really, that was really cool,

379
00:21:27,640 --> 00:21:31,159
Speaker 1: you know Cam Newton and just the Patriots and everything

380
00:21:31,280 --> 00:21:34,920
Speaker 1: that they're known for. Um, I kind of didn't really

381
00:21:34,960 --> 00:21:37,760
Speaker 1: have time because you know, everything's happened so fast. I

382
00:21:37,760 --> 00:21:40,040
Speaker 1: don't even know, you know, I'm thrown in. I would

383
00:21:40,040 --> 00:21:43,199
Speaker 1: say last week when I walked into that stadium, UM,

384
00:21:43,440 --> 00:21:45,920
Speaker 1: the Charger Stadium, it was probably it was the most

385
00:21:45,960 --> 00:21:49,600
Speaker 1: beautiful stadium honestly I've ever played in or seen with

386
00:21:49,800 --> 00:21:53,440
Speaker 1: my own eyes rather let alone, like there's any visuals,

387
00:21:54,200 --> 00:21:58,080
Speaker 1: and um, that was the moment where I was like,

388
00:21:58,800 --> 00:22:01,879
Speaker 1: you know, wow, this is you know, I'm here and

389
00:22:03,680 --> 00:22:06,119
Speaker 1: it says I don't take this for granted, and I

390
00:22:06,240 --> 00:22:09,040
Speaker 1: was just super grateful. And it was really really cool

391
00:22:09,160 --> 00:22:12,440
Speaker 1: because my teammate Joe Reid, who I played in college,

392
00:22:12,480 --> 00:22:15,040
Speaker 1: he's on the Chargers and so I got to talk

393
00:22:15,080 --> 00:22:16,840
Speaker 1: to him and share the moment with him, and I

394
00:22:16,920 --> 00:22:19,840
Speaker 1: was like, you know, we're talking like man, you know,

395
00:22:19,920 --> 00:22:22,080
Speaker 1: we're just we're just so proud of each other for like,

396
00:22:22,600 --> 00:22:24,399
Speaker 1: you know, we made it with you know, living a

397
00:22:24,480 --> 00:22:27,159
Speaker 1: dream here. You know, it's not this isn't easy by

398
00:22:27,200 --> 00:22:30,120
Speaker 1: any stands, just because you know we're in the NFL,

399
00:22:30,320 --> 00:22:32,600
Speaker 1: and it's not all you know, Roses like we every

400
00:22:32,680 --> 00:22:34,879
Speaker 1: day is a challenge, you know, every time you come

401
00:22:34,960 --> 00:22:37,800
Speaker 1: to practice. It's everybody's good in this league, and so

402
00:22:37,960 --> 00:22:40,480
Speaker 1: it's like that's a reality. But when you get to

403
00:22:40,520 --> 00:22:43,440
Speaker 1: step back in moments like that, just say and be

404
00:22:43,520 --> 00:22:46,640
Speaker 1: a kid again. It's pretty cool. Bryce, appreciate the time

405
00:22:46,680 --> 00:22:50,120
Speaker 1: here on the podcast, and stay safe and keep playing well.

406
00:22:50,760 --> 00:22:53,159
Speaker 1: Thank you. I appreciate she thank you for having me,

407
00:22:53,720 --> 00:22:58,160
Speaker 1: and good luck on the golf course. Hey, how about

408
00:22:58,240 --> 00:23:02,440
Speaker 1: Bryce Hall and his wife trash talking on the golf course.

409
00:23:03,160 --> 00:23:05,760
Speaker 1: I love it. That's the only way to play golf.

410
00:23:05,880 --> 00:23:09,080
Speaker 1: You know, I'm more than happy Gilmore style. I still

411
00:23:09,600 --> 00:23:13,919
Speaker 1: haven't figured out the game, and I tried to control

412
00:23:14,000 --> 00:23:16,120
Speaker 1: my temper out there in the golf course, but it's

413
00:23:16,200 --> 00:23:20,960
Speaker 1: awfully challenging. But if I'm playing along somebody who I'm

414
00:23:21,080 --> 00:23:23,200
Speaker 1: very close with, and who would you be closer with

415
00:23:23,400 --> 00:23:27,240
Speaker 1: than your wife? I loved it back and forth. Oh yeah,

416
00:23:27,320 --> 00:23:30,920
Speaker 1: I mean I've just started golf probably about the same

417
00:23:30,960 --> 00:23:34,040
Speaker 1: time Bryce halted in quarantine, like in the summer. I'm

418
00:23:34,160 --> 00:23:39,520
Speaker 1: not good, but golf is infuriating. And if someone tried

419
00:23:39,560 --> 00:23:42,080
Speaker 1: to get under my skin, they might catch a club.

420
00:23:42,920 --> 00:23:48,399
Speaker 1: So well, let's let's preface the statement by saying Bryce

421
00:23:48,440 --> 00:23:52,680
Speaker 1: Hall and his wife happily married. Wow, they're they're competing.

422
00:23:52,960 --> 00:23:56,520
Speaker 1: Ethan Greenberg sounds like he's got some serious temper problems,

423
00:23:57,760 --> 00:24:01,080
Speaker 1: which is actually very much not the case. Golf is just,

424
00:24:02,240 --> 00:24:04,760
Speaker 1: you know, it just pisces me off. It's just really

425
00:24:04,840 --> 00:24:08,320
Speaker 1: frustrates me. I gotta be honest. I know what I

426
00:24:08,400 --> 00:24:10,080
Speaker 1: want to do, and I know what I have to do,

427
00:24:10,320 --> 00:24:12,320
Speaker 1: but right now, I just I can't do it. I

428
00:24:12,440 --> 00:24:14,800
Speaker 1: just can't do it. It's a hard game to pick

429
00:24:14,960 --> 00:24:18,040
Speaker 1: up later on in life. That's what I think. I'm

430
00:24:18,200 --> 00:24:24,080
Speaker 1: not very good with the wood irons, more competitive and

431
00:24:24,200 --> 00:24:27,400
Speaker 1: more accurate. I can't hit a would to save my life.

432
00:24:28,080 --> 00:24:30,520
Speaker 1: Yeah you you put you give me a driver. I'll

433
00:24:30,600 --> 00:24:33,520
Speaker 1: take my five iron out of the tea box all day. Anyway,

434
00:24:33,880 --> 00:24:37,399
Speaker 1: enough golf talk. Now, this Las Vegas Raiders team, I mean,

435
00:24:37,440 --> 00:24:40,960
Speaker 1: you mentioned some of the players on their roster, but

436
00:24:41,240 --> 00:24:45,280
Speaker 1: the Jets saw this team. It's pretty similar team, I

437
00:24:45,320 --> 00:24:48,320
Speaker 1: would say. Obviously, like every year you add some new players,

438
00:24:48,400 --> 00:24:51,200
Speaker 1: you see some people go, but more more so than not,

439
00:24:51,359 --> 00:24:54,560
Speaker 1: it's about the same roster that came to MetLife last

440
00:24:54,640 --> 00:24:57,280
Speaker 1: year about the same time and the Jets ran the

441
00:24:57,359 --> 00:24:59,440
Speaker 1: Raiders out of the building. I think it was thirty

442
00:24:59,480 --> 00:25:03,440
Speaker 1: four to three eight. And this year, I think you

443
00:25:03,520 --> 00:25:05,560
Speaker 1: start to think of the speed that they have on

444
00:25:05,640 --> 00:25:10,720
Speaker 1: the outside, and Henry Ruggs the first receiver off of

445
00:25:10,800 --> 00:25:14,200
Speaker 1: the board out of the very talented wide receiver group.

446
00:25:14,320 --> 00:25:17,040
Speaker 1: I mean, he's the fastest player in this draft class.

447
00:25:17,480 --> 00:25:20,639
Speaker 1: And then you start to think of someone like Nelson Agholor,

448
00:25:20,800 --> 00:25:24,800
Speaker 1: who has been essentially reviving his career so far in

449
00:25:24,920 --> 00:25:28,840
Speaker 1: Las Vegas. Well, John Gruen is a great play caller,

450
00:25:29,119 --> 00:25:35,480
Speaker 1: and they're building something in Oakland if you look at Well,

451
00:25:35,480 --> 00:25:38,200
Speaker 1: they're building something all right, but it's in Las Vegas.

452
00:25:39,040 --> 00:25:41,359
Speaker 1: I keep on getting tripped up with both the Raiders

453
00:25:41,440 --> 00:25:43,679
Speaker 1: and the Chargers. I always refer to the Chargers as

454
00:25:43,720 --> 00:25:46,360
Speaker 1: San Diego. No, they're the Los Angeles Chargers, of course,

455
00:25:46,760 --> 00:25:50,120
Speaker 1: and the Raiders a Las Vegas Raiders. And Bryce Hall

456
00:25:50,240 --> 00:25:53,680
Speaker 1: was talking about Sofi Stadium. I've heard that new stadium

457
00:25:53,760 --> 00:25:57,920
Speaker 1: in Las Vegas. It might be the nicest of them all.

458
00:25:58,320 --> 00:26:00,720
Speaker 1: I can't wait to go out to Vegas It's at

459
00:26:00,920 --> 00:26:04,000
Speaker 1: some point and catch a game there and maybe dropped

460
00:26:04,040 --> 00:26:06,520
Speaker 1: by a casino just to browse and stuff like that.

461
00:26:06,720 --> 00:26:11,800
Speaker 1: But uh yeah, listen, John Gruden, fantastic football coach, good

462
00:26:11,840 --> 00:26:14,920
Speaker 1: offensive play caller. I think the Raiders a couple of

463
00:26:14,960 --> 00:26:17,879
Speaker 1: weeks ago they played Kansas City for a second time

464
00:26:18,160 --> 00:26:21,000
Speaker 1: and back and forth a fair and you really don't

465
00:26:21,040 --> 00:26:23,920
Speaker 1: see a lot of teams play the Chiefs like the

466
00:26:24,119 --> 00:26:28,359
Speaker 1: Raiders have, especially this year. They beat him in Kansas

467
00:26:28,400 --> 00:26:31,720
Speaker 1: City where Derek Carr was dialing long distance. I think

468
00:26:31,760 --> 00:26:35,280
Speaker 1: they had like five plays, six plays of forty plus

469
00:26:35,440 --> 00:26:38,359
Speaker 1: yards through the air. Uh deal with some injuries. We

470
00:26:38,400 --> 00:26:40,760
Speaker 1: want to see what happens with Josh Jacobs because he

471
00:26:40,880 --> 00:26:45,000
Speaker 1: was an awfully impressive rookie last season for them, and

472
00:26:45,280 --> 00:26:47,840
Speaker 1: Gruden likes to run the football, make no mistake, even

473
00:26:47,880 --> 00:26:51,760
Speaker 1: though this is a West Coast offense. And Bart talked about, um,

474
00:26:52,160 --> 00:26:54,920
Speaker 1: some of these guys defensively who can bring it. But

475
00:26:55,440 --> 00:27:00,520
Speaker 1: I was shocked what happened to the Raiders last week,

476
00:27:00,920 --> 00:27:04,560
Speaker 1: similar to what happened to the Raiders last year when

477
00:27:04,560 --> 00:27:06,760
Speaker 1: they came to MetLife Stadium. There were six and four

478
00:27:07,359 --> 00:27:10,280
Speaker 1: and the Jets hammered a thirty four to three. While

479
00:27:10,280 --> 00:27:12,960
Speaker 1: there's six and four, they go to Atlanta. I don't

480
00:27:12,960 --> 00:27:15,159
Speaker 1: even know what the final score was Greens. I think

481
00:27:15,160 --> 00:27:18,160
Speaker 1: it was like forty three to six. That was one

482
00:27:18,200 --> 00:27:20,880
Speaker 1: of the most shocking results in the National Football League

483
00:27:20,880 --> 00:27:25,359
Speaker 1: this season. Yeah, I thought then that game, in particular

484
00:27:25,480 --> 00:27:29,320
Speaker 1: the Raiders Falcons game, that at the very least it

485
00:27:29,320 --> 00:27:31,399
Speaker 1: would have been competitive. It would not have shocked me

486
00:27:31,760 --> 00:27:34,360
Speaker 1: if the Falcons had won that game, but the way

487
00:27:34,440 --> 00:27:37,200
Speaker 1: in which they won that game that did shock me.

488
00:27:37,320 --> 00:27:41,359
Speaker 1: And last year, before we hear from Bart Scott, the

489
00:27:41,440 --> 00:27:45,000
Speaker 1: Jets did a fantastic job holding Josh Jacobs in check

490
00:27:45,119 --> 00:27:47,879
Speaker 1: and that was really where that run defense hit a stride.

491
00:27:47,920 --> 00:27:51,159
Speaker 1: Remember they held Seguan Barkley to a single yard when

492
00:27:51,200 --> 00:27:53,600
Speaker 1: they played the Giants, and Josh Jacobs didn't have a

493
00:27:53,640 --> 00:27:56,560
Speaker 1: great game against the Jets, and that the Jets front

494
00:27:56,680 --> 00:27:59,440
Speaker 1: is predominantly the same, a little different with no Steve

495
00:27:59,560 --> 00:28:01,800
Speaker 1: mcclen in and on the Raiders side of the ball,

496
00:28:01,880 --> 00:28:04,639
Speaker 1: that offensive lines played together for a long time and

497
00:28:05,040 --> 00:28:08,160
Speaker 1: they're without Richie Incognito for the rest of the year,

498
00:28:08,440 --> 00:28:11,680
Speaker 1: but it's still that's gonna be the matchup to watch,

499
00:28:11,800 --> 00:28:14,639
Speaker 1: I think if you're a Jets fan. But obviously this

500
00:28:14,760 --> 00:28:17,320
Speaker 1: is why we have Bart Scott on the podcast every week.

501
00:28:17,600 --> 00:28:20,120
Speaker 1: Welcome to another edition of our Victor Knox Swiss Army

502
00:28:20,160 --> 00:28:22,800
Speaker 1: Knife Player of the Game with Bart Scott. Bart. The

503
00:28:22,880 --> 00:28:25,400
Speaker 1: Raiders come to town the first time as the Las

504
00:28:25,560 --> 00:28:28,239
Speaker 1: Vegas Raiders. Who is your player or what is your

505
00:28:28,240 --> 00:28:30,720
Speaker 1: matchup to watch? I mean this is gonna be tough.

506
00:28:31,000 --> 00:28:33,760
Speaker 1: I want to see Quintin Williams against Rodney Hudson. I

507
00:28:33,800 --> 00:28:35,840
Speaker 1: want to see him against that deep offensive line, that

508
00:28:36,040 --> 00:28:38,880
Speaker 1: massive offensive line of the Raiders. You know, you know,

509
00:28:39,000 --> 00:28:42,280
Speaker 1: no player outside, well, there's no player and that's included

510
00:28:42,320 --> 00:28:44,920
Speaker 1: Mackay Beckton. His playing better than Quinny Williams. You see

511
00:28:44,960 --> 00:28:46,360
Speaker 1: the show that he was able to put on the

512
00:28:46,440 --> 00:28:48,320
Speaker 1: other day. They like to run the ball with Jacobs

513
00:28:48,600 --> 00:28:50,280
Speaker 1: is going to be incompid that you know that he

514
00:28:50,360 --> 00:28:52,400
Speaker 1: doesn't get cut out his gap and that he's dominant

515
00:28:52,600 --> 00:28:54,360
Speaker 1: and he's set in the edge from the inside out.

516
00:28:54,600 --> 00:28:57,200
Speaker 1: You talk about eight tackles, a forced fumble in the sack.

517
00:28:57,480 --> 00:29:00,160
Speaker 1: That's a pretty great day for an inside linebacker. You know,

518
00:29:00,200 --> 00:29:02,200
Speaker 1: it's an awesome day for a defense climb and to

519
00:29:02,280 --> 00:29:06,160
Speaker 1: have that many tackles and still have that type of productivity. Bart,

520
00:29:06,320 --> 00:29:09,320
Speaker 1: what do you think about his emergence here in year two,

521
00:29:09,480 --> 00:29:12,240
Speaker 1: he's got six sacks. Like you talk about, he's coming

522
00:29:12,320 --> 00:29:17,400
Speaker 1: from the interior. The guy, the most elite defensive player

523
00:29:17,440 --> 00:29:20,280
Speaker 1: from the interior position for years has been Aaron Donald.

524
00:29:20,400 --> 00:29:22,360
Speaker 1: What kind of ceiling does a guy like quent and

525
00:29:22,360 --> 00:29:25,120
Speaker 1: Williams have because he's been stout against the run too,

526
00:29:25,240 --> 00:29:28,120
Speaker 1: and he continues to get after the quarterback. Six sacks,

527
00:29:28,440 --> 00:29:32,440
Speaker 1: two forced fumbles now and he's got three pds as well. Well,

528
00:29:32,520 --> 00:29:34,800
Speaker 1: let's talk about the two or three sacks that he

529
00:29:34,920 --> 00:29:37,680
Speaker 1: missed out on because he maybe went to the to

530
00:29:37,840 --> 00:29:40,240
Speaker 1: the to the helm with other quarterback in the Denver game,

531
00:29:40,320 --> 00:29:42,640
Speaker 1: that should have been a game selling sack. You know,

532
00:29:42,680 --> 00:29:44,480
Speaker 1: Let's think about the couple of games that he missed.

533
00:29:44,600 --> 00:29:47,480
Speaker 1: I mean, the ceiling is high. Remember everybody, you know

534
00:29:47,600 --> 00:29:50,520
Speaker 1: panic because he didn't have a productivity in year one one.

535
00:29:50,600 --> 00:29:53,040
Speaker 1: He had played nose guard the majority of his career.

536
00:29:53,120 --> 00:29:55,160
Speaker 1: He's moving over to the three of the five technique

537
00:29:55,520 --> 00:29:57,880
Speaker 1: now he's starting to learn. He had a great offseason.

538
00:29:57,920 --> 00:30:00,200
Speaker 1: He came in shape, his body looks totally for it,

539
00:30:00,480 --> 00:30:02,280
Speaker 1: and now you can tell when the ball is hiped

540
00:30:02,320 --> 00:30:03,920
Speaker 1: that he has a plan. He has a plan on

541
00:30:04,000 --> 00:30:05,800
Speaker 1: how he's gonna handle the run in the blocking schemes

542
00:30:05,840 --> 00:30:07,960
Speaker 1: that he's getting and just imagine he's just scratching the

543
00:30:08,000 --> 00:30:11,000
Speaker 1: surface because in in the near future, Joe Douglas is

544
00:30:11,040 --> 00:30:12,920
Speaker 1: gonna put somebody on the other side of him that

545
00:30:13,040 --> 00:30:15,640
Speaker 1: you have to respect as well that you can't duble him.

546
00:30:15,640 --> 00:30:17,240
Speaker 1: But he's gonna get a lot more one on ones,

547
00:30:17,360 --> 00:30:20,320
Speaker 1: especially in a three four type of system. And Crann

548
00:30:20,360 --> 00:30:23,960
Speaker 1: Williams just twenty two years old, one of the youngest

549
00:30:24,040 --> 00:30:26,920
Speaker 1: players in the NFL. E what about your matchup to watch?

550
00:30:27,520 --> 00:30:29,880
Speaker 1: It's gonna be the Jet safeties Marcus May and Ashton

551
00:30:29,960 --> 00:30:33,800
Speaker 1: Davis against Darren Waller. Waller has sixty four receptions for

552
00:30:33,880 --> 00:30:36,680
Speaker 1: the Raiders this year, a big time target in the

553
00:30:36,800 --> 00:30:39,520
Speaker 1: red zone. Derek Carr looks to him off and he's

554
00:30:39,560 --> 00:30:44,400
Speaker 1: got five touchdown receptions. And he's the guy who is

555
00:30:44,560 --> 00:30:47,680
Speaker 1: tough to have an answer for because even when you

556
00:30:47,800 --> 00:30:51,560
Speaker 1: have a body on him, as Bart knows is he's

557
00:30:51,560 --> 00:30:54,040
Speaker 1: six ft six, so his catch radius is out of

558
00:30:54,120 --> 00:30:56,520
Speaker 1: this world. How are they going to defend this guy, Well,

559
00:30:56,560 --> 00:30:58,240
Speaker 1: you gotta try and hit him at the line and

560
00:30:58,320 --> 00:31:00,479
Speaker 1: try and put a defensive linement over and saying, hey,

561
00:31:00,520 --> 00:31:02,840
Speaker 1: slow him down before you before he goes. We uhould

562
00:31:02,840 --> 00:31:05,160
Speaker 1: do that? Ever, grow you take Jason Taylor to take

563
00:31:05,200 --> 00:31:07,720
Speaker 1: Calvin Page no matter where he is, you you you

564
00:31:07,880 --> 00:31:10,280
Speaker 1: hit him first, and then it turns into a line stunt,

565
00:31:10,520 --> 00:31:12,320
Speaker 1: so you put him there, you hit him, and then

566
00:31:12,560 --> 00:31:15,280
Speaker 1: the ends here defensive tackle is getting up to fill

567
00:31:15,560 --> 00:31:16,960
Speaker 1: and then after you hit him, it comes and it

568
00:31:17,040 --> 00:31:19,760
Speaker 1: turns into a bit of a U game or ME game,

569
00:31:19,800 --> 00:31:22,000
Speaker 1: depending on what system that you've been in. But you

570
00:31:22,080 --> 00:31:24,400
Speaker 1: gotta make sure you disrupt the timing. And they're gonna

571
00:31:24,400 --> 00:31:26,680
Speaker 1: be piste off because they're coming off a disappointing loss

572
00:31:26,840 --> 00:31:29,000
Speaker 1: and they have playoff aspiration, so they're gonna come in

573
00:31:29,040 --> 00:31:31,000
Speaker 1: and they're gonna try not to waste time. But you

574
00:31:31,080 --> 00:31:33,280
Speaker 1: always worry about the West Coast team coming East Coast.

575
00:31:33,440 --> 00:31:35,320
Speaker 1: Hope that you can catch some sleep walking early on

576
00:31:35,400 --> 00:31:38,800
Speaker 1: and jump on him soon. That's that's the thing is.

577
00:31:38,880 --> 00:31:41,040
Speaker 1: The Jets have to take care of the middle of

578
00:31:41,120 --> 00:31:43,280
Speaker 1: the field defensively. I thought they took a lot of

579
00:31:43,360 --> 00:31:47,960
Speaker 1: steps forward against the Miami Dolphins with those young cornerbacks.

580
00:31:48,000 --> 00:31:51,480
Speaker 1: Even though DeVante Parker got his numbers, Mike Kasiki got

581
00:31:51,520 --> 00:31:53,800
Speaker 1: into the ends on. The Jets have to neutralize this guy.

582
00:31:54,400 --> 00:31:56,760
Speaker 1: You know, both of you went on the defensive side

583
00:31:56,800 --> 00:31:58,680
Speaker 1: of the ball. I feel like it's only right that

584
00:31:58,760 --> 00:32:01,240
Speaker 1: I go for The Jets offense is here and Sam

585
00:32:01,360 --> 00:32:04,400
Speaker 1: Donald last season against the Raiders had a one of

586
00:32:04,480 --> 00:32:07,479
Speaker 1: his best games since being drafted in two thousand eighteen,

587
00:32:07,720 --> 00:32:10,680
Speaker 1: and this defense is pretty similar. Obviously, last year the

588
00:32:10,800 --> 00:32:15,120
Speaker 1: Jets didn't see Jonathan Abram, the Raiders rookie then rookie safety,

589
00:32:15,560 --> 00:32:18,440
Speaker 1: and now they still got Trayvon Mullin on the outside.

590
00:32:18,720 --> 00:32:21,600
Speaker 1: The corner from Clemson. Damon Arnette is a new edition there,

591
00:32:21,680 --> 00:32:25,120
Speaker 1: Jeff Heath who signed over from the Dallas Cowboys along

592
00:32:25,160 --> 00:32:27,480
Speaker 1: with Jason Witten in the offseason. But I think that

593
00:32:27,600 --> 00:32:30,120
Speaker 1: this is gonna be a pretty big opportunity for Brashad

594
00:32:30,240 --> 00:32:34,120
Speaker 1: Perriman and Denzel Mims and Jamison Crowder because they put

595
00:32:34,200 --> 00:32:37,680
Speaker 1: up numbers last year against the Raiders offense. Part, what

596
00:32:37,840 --> 00:32:41,760
Speaker 1: have you thought of this Raiders defense so far in

597
00:32:41,840 --> 00:32:44,560
Speaker 1: two thousand twenty. I mean, you gotta love Crosby, you

598
00:32:44,640 --> 00:32:46,640
Speaker 1: gotta love the nasty. This is what they playing and

599
00:32:46,920 --> 00:32:48,720
Speaker 1: this is a team that Al Davis would be proud of.

600
00:32:49,120 --> 00:32:51,160
Speaker 1: This team that competes as a team that's physical and

601
00:32:51,240 --> 00:32:53,320
Speaker 1: fast and they get to the ball and um, you know,

602
00:32:53,480 --> 00:32:56,320
Speaker 1: Gunther you know has them playing really well and tough,

603
00:32:56,400 --> 00:32:58,560
Speaker 1: and they're gonna be motivated. You know, whenever you can

604
00:32:58,600 --> 00:33:00,440
Speaker 1: be in the corner been the edges. Now think they'll

605
00:33:00,440 --> 00:33:02,440
Speaker 1: be trying to bend the edge opposite of Mackay Beckton.

606
00:33:02,480 --> 00:33:04,280
Speaker 1: I don't think Crossby would be over there trying to

607
00:33:04,320 --> 00:33:06,360
Speaker 1: get that type of smoke, but you know, I think

608
00:33:06,400 --> 00:33:08,760
Speaker 1: he'll be on the other end. You think Jonathan Hankins

609
00:33:08,840 --> 00:33:11,080
Speaker 1: and the inside they're stout against the run. It's gonna

610
00:33:11,080 --> 00:33:13,520
Speaker 1: be more a former opponent. But they're gonna have to

611
00:33:13,560 --> 00:33:15,920
Speaker 1: be up for the challenge because they're gonna be playing

612
00:33:16,000 --> 00:33:18,440
Speaker 1: a motivated team that sees light at the end of

613
00:33:18,480 --> 00:33:20,760
Speaker 1: the tunnel and sees the opportunity to get into the postseason.

614
00:33:21,080 --> 00:33:23,840
Speaker 1: And listen, they don't fear the team that everybody fears

615
00:33:23,920 --> 00:33:26,160
Speaker 1: in the Kansas City Chiefs because they played them twice.

616
00:33:26,360 --> 00:33:27,760
Speaker 1: So if they get that match up, they may be

617
00:33:27,880 --> 00:33:30,800
Speaker 1: the one team that can upset those guys, you know,

618
00:33:31,000 --> 00:33:34,080
Speaker 1: Bart the Raiders. Just one last point on the Raiders here,

619
00:33:34,120 --> 00:33:37,680
Speaker 1: their offense e A mentioned Darren Waller. Henry Ruggs hasn't

620
00:33:37,760 --> 00:33:41,560
Speaker 1: really been super effective for them. Obviously he stretches the field,

621
00:33:41,880 --> 00:33:44,640
Speaker 1: but what does it say about that offense where Darren

622
00:33:44,680 --> 00:33:47,520
Speaker 1: Waller is the primary target? And what do you make

623
00:33:47,680 --> 00:33:51,400
Speaker 1: of the receivers that the Raiders have. I mean, they're

624
00:33:51,440 --> 00:33:53,280
Speaker 1: built in the likeness of the Kansas City Chiefs. You

625
00:33:53,320 --> 00:33:55,360
Speaker 1: think about wall that he's a guy that can get open,

626
00:33:55,400 --> 00:33:57,200
Speaker 1: He's a guy that's a receiver playing in the tight

627
00:33:57,320 --> 00:33:59,800
Speaker 1: end position. But he's still stout enough and strong enough

628
00:33:59,840 --> 00:34:02,200
Speaker 1: to to be, you know, really effective in a running game.

629
00:34:02,680 --> 00:34:04,360
Speaker 1: And you know Ruggs is a guy that can struct

630
00:34:04,400 --> 00:34:06,080
Speaker 1: the field. You say he hasn't been effected, but he

631
00:34:06,160 --> 00:34:10,680
Speaker 1: had a long touchdown catch against the Falcons, you know, yesterday,

632
00:34:10,800 --> 00:34:13,000
Speaker 1: So you know, Nelson Egglar has been a guy who

633
00:34:13,160 --> 00:34:15,960
Speaker 1: was always you know, had inconsistent hands. But you just

634
00:34:16,080 --> 00:34:17,719
Speaker 1: hope that you're not on the part or where he

635
00:34:17,800 --> 00:34:19,480
Speaker 1: decides to catch him where he has to extra stick

636
00:34:19,560 --> 00:34:21,680
Speaker 1: him on the gloves. So he is still the guy

637
00:34:21,760 --> 00:34:24,000
Speaker 1: that's more than capable of getting behind the defense. And

638
00:34:24,040 --> 00:34:25,640
Speaker 1: the jests is gonna have to be weary of double

639
00:34:25,680 --> 00:34:28,000
Speaker 1: moves in car and to me, no matter what anybody

640
00:34:28,080 --> 00:34:32,359
Speaker 1: says it's as an elite quarterback. All right, Well, there
