We're going to tell 20 00:00:53,040 --> 00:00:58,000 Speaker 2: you who the front runners are coming up. Welcome inside 21 00:00:58,440 --> 00:01:03,680 Speaker 2: with the insiders. I am Ian Rappaport, joined by our 22 00:01:03,680 --> 00:01:07,160 Speaker 2: good friend Judy Batista, Tom Pel. Sarah was still in Mobile, Alabama, 23 00:01:07,200 --> 00:01:09,960 Speaker 2: where I just was until today Mike Garrifolo is doing 24 00:01:10,319 --> 00:01:12,759 Speaker 2: god knows whatever he does when he is not working 25 00:01:12,840 --> 00:01:15,880 Speaker 2: on television. But we're here. We've got a great show 26 00:01:15,920 --> 00:01:17,360 Speaker 2: for you. We've got a lot of guests to preview 27 00:01:17,400 --> 00:01:19,760 Speaker 2: Super Bowl sixty. We got a little bit of news 28 00:01:19,760 --> 00:01:23,520 Speaker 2: to get to first. This one was a shocker. Quasi 29 00:01:23,640 --> 00:01:27,160 Speaker 2: Adolfo Mensa, the general manager of the Minnesota Vikings, was 30 00:01:27,240 --> 00:01:33,960 Speaker 2: unceremoniously fired today, four weeks or so into the off season. 31 00:01:34,520 --> 00:01:37,119 Speaker 2: They had a better than five hundred record. But surely 32 00:01:37,160 --> 00:01:39,679 Speaker 2: there's some stuff going on inside the building. Let's listen 33 00:01:39,760 --> 00:01:41,280 Speaker 2: to an explanation. 34 00:01:41,760 --> 00:01:43,760 Speaker 3: On behalf of our ownership. But I want to express our 35 00:01:43,760 --> 00:01:46,680 Speaker 3: appreciation for Quacy and to the time and effort he 36 00:01:46,720 --> 00:01:50,120 Speaker 3: put into this role there. These are never easy decisions 37 00:01:50,120 --> 00:01:52,920 Speaker 3: because you know you're impacting a person in a family 38 00:01:53,120 --> 00:01:56,040 Speaker 3: and someone we care about. We understand there'll be questions 39 00:01:56,040 --> 00:01:58,240 Speaker 3: on the timing and why. Now, I think you know 40 00:01:58,720 --> 00:02:00,520 Speaker 3: how we want to operate his own We want to 41 00:02:00,520 --> 00:02:05,080 Speaker 3: avoid knee jerk reactions, be pragmatic, thoughtful, methodical. 42 00:02:04,520 --> 00:02:05,480 Speaker 4: And making these decisions. 43 00:02:05,520 --> 00:02:07,920 Speaker 3: And as we do each year, we held our end 44 00:02:07,960 --> 00:02:10,840 Speaker 3: of the season organizational meetings over a couple of weeks 45 00:02:11,240 --> 00:02:14,280 Speaker 3: and then spent this past week as an ownership group reviewing, 46 00:02:14,360 --> 00:02:17,240 Speaker 3: discussing and how best to move forward. This is a 47 00:02:17,280 --> 00:02:20,639 Speaker 3: critical off season. Ultimately, we felt the change was necessary 48 00:02:20,680 --> 00:02:24,960 Speaker 3: in football operations and did not feel comfortable going forward 49 00:02:25,200 --> 00:02:27,520 Speaker 3: into this offseason with the current leadership. 50 00:02:28,480 --> 00:02:30,360 Speaker 2: And so they're not They are not moving forward with 51 00:02:30,400 --> 00:02:34,320 Speaker 2: Quasiu Dolpha Mensa. He is officially out Rob Razinski, who 52 00:02:34,360 --> 00:02:36,840 Speaker 2: has been a long time executive for the Minnesota Vikings, 53 00:02:36,919 --> 00:02:39,640 Speaker 2: very well respected in the building. Judy is going to 54 00:02:39,639 --> 00:02:42,160 Speaker 2: be running the show through the draft, and after the 55 00:02:42,240 --> 00:02:46,160 Speaker 2: draft they will commence the search for a new general manager. 56 00:02:46,440 --> 00:02:49,519 Speaker 2: You've heard the explanation obviously, you know the background here. 57 00:02:49,600 --> 00:02:52,600 Speaker 2: What went into the firing of Quasiu Dolpho Mensa in 58 00:02:52,639 --> 00:02:53,359 Speaker 2: your mind. 59 00:02:53,400 --> 00:02:55,920 Speaker 5: Well, what you didn't hear Mark both say is that 60 00:02:56,280 --> 00:02:59,240 Speaker 5: he said it's never just one thing. That's true, it's 61 00:02:59,280 --> 00:03:02,560 Speaker 5: a cumulative thing. But there is one very glaring thing 62 00:03:02,600 --> 00:03:05,160 Speaker 5: that happens to be current right now, and that is 63 00:03:05,200 --> 00:03:08,080 Speaker 5: that the Minnesota Vikings had Sam Darnold in their building 64 00:03:08,200 --> 00:03:11,280 Speaker 5: last year. He had a really good season for the 65 00:03:11,400 --> 00:03:16,200 Speaker 5: Vikings Kevin O'Connell, and he worked fantastically together, and then 66 00:03:16,440 --> 00:03:20,040 Speaker 5: a series of decisions, they let him go in free agency, 67 00:03:20,080 --> 00:03:22,280 Speaker 5: where he went to the Seattle Seahawks, and of course 68 00:03:22,400 --> 00:03:25,240 Speaker 5: now has continued to blossom and is now in the 69 00:03:25,280 --> 00:03:28,640 Speaker 5: Super Bowl after a season in which the Vikings cast 70 00:03:28,680 --> 00:03:31,840 Speaker 5: their lot with JJ McCarthy, who he may be great 71 00:03:31,919 --> 00:03:35,120 Speaker 5: big picture long term, but he clearly was not ready 72 00:03:35,160 --> 00:03:38,160 Speaker 5: to step into the starting role this season, and they 73 00:03:38,240 --> 00:03:42,160 Speaker 5: also didn't really have very good backup quarterbacks behind him, 74 00:03:42,200 --> 00:03:45,880 Speaker 5: so the cupboard was really bare behind JJ McCarthy. He 75 00:03:46,040 --> 00:03:48,920 Speaker 5: struggled throughout the season. It cost him the season. They 76 00:03:48,920 --> 00:03:52,760 Speaker 5: did not make the playoffs. Of course, it's a glaring situation. 77 00:03:52,960 --> 00:03:55,280 Speaker 5: Of course, it's never just one thing when you fire somebody, 78 00:03:55,320 --> 00:03:58,320 Speaker 5: but it's hard to ignore that one it is staring 79 00:03:58,320 --> 00:03:59,960 Speaker 5: them in the face. In Minnesota. 80 00:04:00,240 --> 00:04:02,400 Speaker 2: There's so much going on here because the record is 81 00:04:02,400 --> 00:04:04,760 Speaker 2: actually pretty good nine to eight, But if you watch 82 00:04:04,800 --> 00:04:07,480 Speaker 2: the Viking season, certainly there were problems and you were 83 00:04:07,560 --> 00:04:10,839 Speaker 2: right my sense to focus on the quarterback position. I mean, 84 00:04:11,120 --> 00:04:13,840 Speaker 2: it's not just bad enough that they have Sam Darnold 85 00:04:13,920 --> 00:04:16,800 Speaker 2: literally starting in the Super Bowl. They had two starting 86 00:04:16,880 --> 00:04:19,960 Speaker 2: quarterbacks in their building last year. Daniel Jones was the 87 00:04:20,000 --> 00:04:22,800 Speaker 2: other one. Led the Colts to an exceptional record before 88 00:04:23,120 --> 00:04:26,200 Speaker 2: breaking his leg and then eventually tearing his achilles. They 89 00:04:26,279 --> 00:04:28,680 Speaker 2: let both of them walk out the building, and certainly 90 00:04:28,760 --> 00:04:32,279 Speaker 2: Daniel Jones, the offer that they made him was not 91 00:04:32,520 --> 00:04:34,760 Speaker 2: enough to cause him to stay. And if you look 92 00:04:34,800 --> 00:04:37,320 Speaker 2: back and you say, yes, they have JJ McCarthy needed 93 00:04:37,320 --> 00:04:38,440 Speaker 2: to protect themselves better. 94 00:04:38,480 --> 00:04:40,599 Speaker 1: There's also some other things that have gone on over 95 00:04:40,600 --> 00:04:41,720 Speaker 1: the course of the last four years. 96 00:04:41,720 --> 00:04:45,000 Speaker 2: Making a draft day trade that gives your rival Jamison Williams, 97 00:04:45,040 --> 00:04:47,279 Speaker 2: and on and on. Certainly there was tension in the 98 00:04:47,320 --> 00:04:50,239 Speaker 2: building as well with plenty of the key pieces, including 99 00:04:50,240 --> 00:04:53,320 Speaker 2: with Kevin O'Connell, mostly because of the frustration involving the 100 00:04:53,400 --> 00:04:57,279 Speaker 2: team not really maximizing its potential. So now Quacy is 101 00:04:57,400 --> 00:04:59,839 Speaker 2: out and they will begin the search. As I said after, 102 00:05:00,320 --> 00:05:03,320 Speaker 2: but certainly you got to think this is an absolutely 103 00:05:03,560 --> 00:05:07,680 Speaker 2: prime general manager position, just like it was for the 104 00:05:07,720 --> 00:05:10,400 Speaker 2: Atlanta Falcons. Some news over the course of the last 105 00:05:10,600 --> 00:05:14,080 Speaker 2: twenty four hours. Ian Cunningham, the decision GM for the 106 00:05:14,160 --> 00:05:18,200 Speaker 2: Chicago Bears, was officially named the new GM. 107 00:05:18,480 --> 00:05:19,480 Speaker 1: Of the Atlanta Falcons. 108 00:05:19,600 --> 00:05:21,960 Speaker 2: He joined Matt Ryan, who's the president of football, joins 109 00:05:22,240 --> 00:05:23,200 Speaker 2: Kevin Sefanski. 110 00:05:23,240 --> 00:05:23,839 Speaker 1: The head coach. 111 00:05:24,120 --> 00:05:26,760 Speaker 2: He has been an up and coming personnel man for 112 00:05:26,800 --> 00:05:29,919 Speaker 2: a long time, no longer now he is officially a 113 00:05:29,960 --> 00:05:30,720 Speaker 2: GM in Atlanta. 114 00:05:30,760 --> 00:05:33,839 Speaker 5: Judy Joe Brady's first big hire in Buffalo, He's bringing 115 00:05:33,880 --> 00:05:37,240 Speaker 5: on Keith Carmichael as his offensive coordinator at Carmichael is 116 00:05:37,279 --> 00:05:40,080 Speaker 5: a long time Sean Payton lieutenant going back to the 117 00:05:40,120 --> 00:05:43,760 Speaker 5: Saints days he was with him also in Denver. Carmichael 118 00:05:43,839 --> 00:05:45,640 Speaker 5: did not call plays when he was with Peyton and 119 00:05:45,720 --> 00:05:47,640 Speaker 5: he will not call him and Buffalo. Brady's going to 120 00:05:47,640 --> 00:05:50,200 Speaker 5: continue to call the plays there, no surprise, because of 121 00:05:50,240 --> 00:05:53,800 Speaker 5: his close relationship with Josh Allen. On to the other 122 00:05:53,880 --> 00:05:56,359 Speaker 5: side of the ball, the Commanders have hired Deronte Jones 123 00:05:56,400 --> 00:06:00,479 Speaker 5: as their defensive coordinator. He comes from Brian Flores's staff 124 00:06:00,839 --> 00:06:04,560 Speaker 5: in Minnesota Outstanding Defense. Of course, Jones was the defensive 125 00:06:04,640 --> 00:06:07,520 Speaker 5: pass game coordinator there and the defensive backs coach. 126 00:06:07,720 --> 00:06:10,279 Speaker 2: The Pittsburgh Steelers added a big piece of her respected 127 00:06:10,360 --> 00:06:14,359 Speaker 2: defensive coordinator for new coach Mike McCarthy. Still Surrealeder's a 128 00:06:14,360 --> 00:06:18,200 Speaker 2: new coach for the Pittsburgh Steelers. Patrick Graham, most recently 129 00:06:18,240 --> 00:06:20,719 Speaker 2: of the Las Vegas Raiders with the Giants with the 130 00:06:20,720 --> 00:06:25,520 Speaker 2: Patriots really really strong defensive coordinator. He was officially named 131 00:06:25,760 --> 00:06:27,279 Speaker 2: to the Pittsburgh Steelers staff. 132 00:06:27,360 --> 00:06:30,120 Speaker 5: Judy and a bit of business done today. The NFL 133 00:06:30,240 --> 00:06:33,040 Speaker 5: gave teams the salary cap projection and it's a big 134 00:06:33,080 --> 00:06:36,520 Speaker 5: one again. Projection for twenty twenty six is between a 135 00:06:36,600 --> 00:06:39,320 Speaker 5: three hundred and one million and three hundred five points 136 00:06:39,320 --> 00:06:43,000 Speaker 5: seven million. That's up at least twenty two million dollars 137 00:06:43,040 --> 00:06:46,560 Speaker 5: per club over last season. It's up oh for nearly 138 00:06:46,560 --> 00:06:49,800 Speaker 5: one hundred million in the last four years alone. That 139 00:06:49,920 --> 00:06:52,600 Speaker 5: is very good news for pending free agents. 140 00:06:52,839 --> 00:06:55,000 Speaker 2: I just love Tom's graphic with all that money. We 141 00:06:55,080 --> 00:06:59,159 Speaker 2: had some news from the Seals and ESPN report claim 142 00:06:59,200 --> 00:07:01,800 Speaker 2: minutes before the show showed that the Seahawks are for sale. 143 00:07:02,279 --> 00:07:05,520 Speaker 1: A Paul Allen estate spokesman. 144 00:07:05,040 --> 00:07:07,840 Speaker 2: Said do not comment on rumors and speculation, but then 145 00:07:07,880 --> 00:07:11,040 Speaker 2: commented on rumors and speculations, saying the team is not 146 00:07:11,240 --> 00:07:13,960 Speaker 2: for sale. They said that will We've already said that 147 00:07:14,000 --> 00:07:16,000 Speaker 2: will change at some point, So let me explain what 148 00:07:16,040 --> 00:07:18,400 Speaker 2: this means. The Seahawks are going to be sold with 149 00:07:18,560 --> 00:07:20,960 Speaker 2: Jody Allen has said they're going through the sale of 150 00:07:21,000 --> 00:07:23,560 Speaker 2: the Blazers. My understanding is a sale of the Seahawks 151 00:07:23,680 --> 00:07:27,480 Speaker 2: is not expected. Before that, you're probably most likely looking 152 00:07:27,520 --> 00:07:29,520 Speaker 2: into next season and beyond that. 153 00:07:29,680 --> 00:07:31,560 Speaker 1: Is the response to the Seahawks news. 154 00:07:33,880 --> 00:07:36,760 Speaker 6: This is what we man David out of the field, 155 00:07:37,120 --> 00:07:39,360 Speaker 6: dumn it fun fun. 156 00:07:39,440 --> 00:07:41,160 Speaker 4: We said all the no, you're gonna be rolling, spill 157 00:07:41,240 --> 00:07:41,680 Speaker 4: some blood. 158 00:07:42,000 --> 00:07:45,080 Speaker 1: Quarter he ro the best corner for Hooper. 159 00:07:44,840 --> 00:07:50,320 Speaker 6: Creation supper next to ketch.

He's gonna be okay. 178 00:08:41,000 --> 00:08:43,760 Speaker 2: But did not practice today because of an illness and 179 00:08:43,840 --> 00:08:47,040 Speaker 2: a shoulder. If you're wondering what is going on with Drake, 180 00:08:47,160 --> 00:08:49,280 Speaker 2: may Mike Rabel tell us all about it. 181 00:08:49,760 --> 00:08:53,360 Speaker 1: He did not practice. No, it was illness and shoulder illness. 182 00:08:53,559 --> 00:08:56,000 Speaker 8: I'm sorry, illness and shoulder. 183 00:08:57,600 --> 00:09:01,559 Speaker 4: Any more concern for in Mike than you've showed so far. 184 00:09:03,200 --> 00:09:05,280 Speaker 8: I mean a gain week. I've had a lot of 185 00:09:05,280 --> 00:09:08,680 Speaker 8: guys over the last month or six weeks here with 186 00:09:08,760 --> 00:09:12,600 Speaker 8: the illness, and you know, so again, I'm trying to 187 00:09:12,600 --> 00:09:16,400 Speaker 8: do what's best for the player and the and the team. 188 00:09:16,240 --> 00:09:17,600 Speaker 8: I'm trying to take care of guys. 189 00:09:18,720 --> 00:09:19,720 Speaker 4: Don't spread anything. 190 00:09:19,760 --> 00:09:23,280 Speaker 8: But you know again, we've worked through that here for 191 00:09:23,400 --> 00:09:24,559 Speaker 8: the past six weeks. 192 00:09:25,080 --> 00:09:28,520 Speaker 1: It's great at the facility today he came to work. 193 00:09:30,080 --> 00:09:32,200 Speaker 9: We're gonna do something tomorrow. It's gonna be funny in 194 00:09:32,240 --> 00:09:36,319 Speaker 9: the defensive room. That will highlight some of our four decisions. 195 00:09:37,720 --> 00:09:38,560 Speaker 1: Uh. 196 00:09:39,160 --> 00:09:41,640 Speaker 4: But I do think, I do think. 197 00:09:43,040 --> 00:09:45,760 Speaker 9: The players feel when you're in it with them, and 198 00:09:45,800 --> 00:09:50,560 Speaker 9: so when when you can when you can identify that hey, 199 00:09:50,559 --> 00:09:54,920 Speaker 9: I fell short here, that helps them own their mistakes 200 00:09:54,960 --> 00:09:58,079 Speaker 9: as well. And and again if if if you're full 201 00:09:58,120 --> 00:10:00,000 Speaker 9: of crap and you're not, and you're blaming the player 202 00:10:00,120 --> 00:10:02,120 Speaker 9: on every play, like they're going to know, just. 203 00:10:01,880 --> 00:10:03,160 Speaker 1: Just pushing all the right buttons. 204 00:10:03,400 --> 00:10:05,719 Speaker 2: Mike MacDonald always knows the thing to say, and Mike 205 00:10:05,840 --> 00:10:08,600 Speaker 2: Rabel always knows what to say sometimes to make. 206 00:10:08,559 --> 00:10:11,120 Speaker 1: Us laugh and cut into some reporter at his press conference. 207 00:10:11,400 --> 00:10:15,600 Speaker 2: It is a ultimate coaching matchup two second year coaches 208 00:10:15,600 --> 00:10:18,959 Speaker 2: who have really done it unbelievable job getting their teams 209 00:10:19,000 --> 00:10:21,080 Speaker 2: in the Super Bowl and just setting the foundation for 210 00:10:21,120 --> 00:10:23,960 Speaker 2: what no doubt is going to be more success for 211 00:10:24,080 --> 00:10:26,960 Speaker 2: both of these teams. Let's go to our good friends 212 00:10:27,000 --> 00:10:30,640 Speaker 2: Omar Ruiz and Steve Weis to continue to break down 213 00:10:30,720 --> 00:10:31,760 Speaker 2: Super Bowl sixty. 214 00:10:31,840 --> 00:10:32,760 Speaker 1: Ay, and thank you. 215 00:10:32,800 --> 00:10:34,880 Speaker 10: I know Steve and I we can't wait to get 216 00:10:34,920 --> 00:10:36,600 Speaker 10: up to the Bay Area and cover this Super Bowl 217 00:10:36,640 --> 00:10:39,360 Speaker 10: and we'll be covering it from every different angle. When 218 00:10:39,360 --> 00:10:42,120 Speaker 10: you talk about the Seahawks, Steve, remember last year they 219 00:10:42,120 --> 00:10:44,080 Speaker 10: were at ten and seven, they barely missed the playoffs, 220 00:10:44,120 --> 00:10:47,600 Speaker 10: and they get rid of Gino Smith, DK Metcalf, Tyler Lockett, 221 00:10:47,920 --> 00:10:50,600 Speaker 10: they reload as it was described to me, and then 222 00:10:50,640 --> 00:10:53,440 Speaker 10: they become this juggernaut and after the game on Sunday 223 00:10:53,440 --> 00:10:56,280 Speaker 10: in the locker room on the field, I asked several people, 224 00:10:56,320 --> 00:11:00,079 Speaker 10: including Leslie Frasier, their assistant head coach, Jackson Smith, and 225 00:11:00,160 --> 00:11:03,560 Speaker 10: Jigba when they knew they had a special team, a 226 00:11:03,640 --> 00:11:08,040 Speaker 10: special roster that they put together, And almost unanimously, they 227 00:11:08,080 --> 00:11:10,839 Speaker 10: all said right away, when they started practicing and putting 228 00:11:10,840 --> 00:11:14,480 Speaker 10: in that work, when they started OTAs and realizing how 229 00:11:14,520 --> 00:11:17,560 Speaker 10: connected they were, the respect and the love that they 230 00:11:17,559 --> 00:11:20,080 Speaker 10: have for one another, that was all real. And I 231 00:11:20,080 --> 00:11:23,320 Speaker 10: spoke to Leonard Williams in the locker room on Sunday 232 00:11:23,600 --> 00:11:25,680 Speaker 10: and asked him something similar, and he said, they have 233 00:11:25,800 --> 00:11:29,559 Speaker 10: so many veterans that have a lot of scars playing 234 00:11:29,559 --> 00:11:33,040 Speaker 10: in the NFL, like Cooper Cup There Williams to Marcus Lawrence, 235 00:11:33,160 --> 00:11:36,400 Speaker 10: Sam Darnold, and they're able to bond together quickly some 236 00:11:36,440 --> 00:11:39,319 Speaker 10: of those new faces and really bond through that adversity, 237 00:11:39,360 --> 00:11:41,360 Speaker 10: and then they're able to share that wisdom with all 238 00:11:41,480 --> 00:11:45,880 Speaker 10: that young and talented players. General manager John Schneider saying 239 00:11:45,920 --> 00:11:48,640 Speaker 10: it best that they really believe in that twelve in 240 00:11:48,760 --> 00:11:52,520 Speaker 10: one mentality. That's what they'll carry to Santa Clara next 241 00:11:52,520 --> 00:11:54,960 Speaker 10: week and playing in Super Bowl sixty and a big 242 00:11:55,000 --> 00:11:57,160 Speaker 10: reason why they went from a ten win team to 243 00:11:57,240 --> 00:11:59,280 Speaker 10: this team now that is playing for the Super Bowl, 244 00:11:59,320 --> 00:12:02,480 Speaker 10: and Steve helps when you are connected the way that 245 00:12:02,520 --> 00:12:05,400 Speaker 10: defense has been the number one scoring defense in the league, 246 00:12:05,400 --> 00:12:07,760 Speaker 10: but not far behind them that New England. 247 00:12:07,440 --> 00:12:10,600 Speaker 1: Patriots defense this season. Yeah, I like the darkseye defense. 248 00:12:10,679 --> 00:12:10,800 Speaker 4: Right. 249 00:12:11,200 --> 00:12:12,920 Speaker 11: The Seahawks are a team of MutS, but some are 250 00:12:12,920 --> 00:12:15,080 Speaker 11: The Patriots a team of MutS like blended together with 251 00:12:15,120 --> 00:12:18,640 Speaker 11: young draft picks and talent. And defensively for the Patriots, 252 00:12:18,640 --> 00:12:21,280 Speaker 11: they have been the dominant defense. 253 00:12:20,960 --> 00:12:22,280 Speaker 1: In the post season. 254 00:12:22,559 --> 00:12:25,600 Speaker 11: They're barely aligning more than double digit points per game 255 00:12:25,640 --> 00:12:28,560 Speaker 11: in there. Now here's some incredible stats rushing defense wise, 256 00:12:28,960 --> 00:12:31,640 Speaker 11: no running back has had more than forty rush yards 257 00:12:31,679 --> 00:12:34,640 Speaker 11: against them in the postseason. We know Kenneth Walker, the 258 00:12:34,640 --> 00:12:36,839 Speaker 11: work he's been doing for the Seahawks, that's going to 259 00:12:36,880 --> 00:12:38,760 Speaker 11: be a challenge. The leading rusher against him has been 260 00:12:38,840 --> 00:12:41,760 Speaker 11: quarterback Justin Herbert of the Chargers. They have not a 261 00:12:41,800 --> 00:12:45,400 Speaker 11: lot of rushing touchdowns. It's week seventeen, Omar, and that's 262 00:12:45,400 --> 00:12:46,679 Speaker 11: because they're connected. 263 00:12:46,320 --> 00:12:47,320 Speaker 1: At all three levels. 264 00:12:47,360 --> 00:12:50,240 Speaker 11: As we know, the Patriots talking about a team, they 265 00:12:50,280 --> 00:12:53,360 Speaker 11: are a sum of their parts. But they're defensive front all, 266 00:12:53,400 --> 00:12:56,680 Speaker 11: we're going back to their secondary. With those two outstanding corners, 267 00:12:57,000 --> 00:13:00,440 Speaker 11: they do not make mistakes. They find ways of pressure 268 00:13:00,480 --> 00:13:02,880 Speaker 11: on the quarterback, make the quarterback pat the ball for 269 00:13:02,880 --> 00:13:05,880 Speaker 11: a little bit longer. And then that's the situation with 270 00:13:05,960 --> 00:13:08,120 Speaker 11: this defense and that defense where they going to be 271 00:13:08,120 --> 00:13:12,760 Speaker 11: facing Sam Donald. One of the MutS. A lot of questions. 272 00:13:12,800 --> 00:13:16,200 Speaker 11: People still don't believe in Sam Donald. He's proven himself, 273 00:13:16,679 --> 00:13:18,360 Speaker 11: so the big question mark hanging over his head. 274 00:13:18,559 --> 00:13:21,320 Speaker 10: Interesting after the game, Mike McDonald said that Sam Donald 275 00:13:21,600 --> 00:13:23,400 Speaker 10: shut a lot of people up with a three hundred 276 00:13:23,400 --> 00:13:26,840 Speaker 10: and forty six yards the three touchdowns, no interceptions. And 277 00:13:26,880 --> 00:13:29,360 Speaker 10: that's not the first time we've heard his coaches, his 278 00:13:29,400 --> 00:13:32,920 Speaker 10: teammates speak so forcefully about Sam Donald. If you remember 279 00:13:33,000 --> 00:13:36,200 Speaker 10: Week eleven, he throws the four interceptions at SOFI Stadium, 280 00:13:36,240 --> 00:13:37,040 Speaker 10: they lose to the Rams. 281 00:13:37,040 --> 00:13:39,760 Speaker 1: That's the last time they lost. And then Ernest Jones. 282 00:13:39,440 --> 00:13:42,120 Speaker 10: Gets up there, he's cursing, defending Sam Donald. 283 00:13:42,120 --> 00:13:43,600 Speaker 1: That they believe in Sam Donald. 284 00:13:43,800 --> 00:13:46,800 Speaker 10: I asked Jones after the game on Sunday, after they 285 00:13:47,040 --> 00:13:51,040 Speaker 10: won the NFC championship, what made him say that have 286 00:13:51,240 --> 00:13:53,520 Speaker 10: all that belief? And he said, well, Sam Donald proved 287 00:13:53,520 --> 00:13:56,000 Speaker 10: it he was in there the next morning trying to 288 00:13:56,000 --> 00:13:57,360 Speaker 10: fix all those mistakes. 289 00:13:57,400 --> 00:13:58,319 Speaker 1: They haven't lost. 290 00:13:58,200 --> 00:14:00,840 Speaker 10: Since he showed out and cowed up in a big 291 00:14:00,880 --> 00:14:03,439 Speaker 10: way on Sunday and that NFC Championship game. 292 00:14:03,440 --> 00:14:05,480 Speaker 1: I asked Darnald what that means to him. 293 00:14:05,360 --> 00:14:07,560 Speaker 10: To have all that support, and he says he certainly 294 00:14:07,600 --> 00:14:10,400 Speaker 10: feels it, not just with their words, but how they 295 00:14:10,440 --> 00:14:13,080 Speaker 10: respect one another in the building, all the hard work 296 00:14:13,080 --> 00:14:13,760 Speaker 10: that they put in. 297 00:14:13,800 --> 00:14:16,720 Speaker 11: Well, it's wed a quarterbacks with question marks, Drake May. 298 00:14:17,040 --> 00:14:19,360 Speaker 11: This is a quarterback who during the regular season completed 299 00:14:19,400 --> 00:14:22,720 Speaker 11: seventy two percent of his passes. In the postseason, that 300 00:14:22,800 --> 00:14:26,760 Speaker 11: number has dropped radically to fifty six percent. Now he 301 00:14:26,800 --> 00:14:29,840 Speaker 11: has played three of the best defenses in the NFL 302 00:14:29,920 --> 00:14:32,360 Speaker 11: and the other weather conditions in the second half against 303 00:14:32,440 --> 00:14:35,040 Speaker 11: Denver which really negated the passing game, but now is 304 00:14:35,080 --> 00:14:37,760 Speaker 11: going up, as you mentioned, against that number one scoring defense. 305 00:14:38,040 --> 00:14:41,120 Speaker 11: So Drake May, the one thing he has on his side, 306 00:14:41,320 --> 00:14:44,760 Speaker 11: because he has been sacked an incredible fifteen times this postseason, 307 00:14:45,040 --> 00:14:46,040 Speaker 11: is his ability to run. 308 00:14:46,080 --> 00:14:47,520 Speaker 1: He may have to rely on that. 309 00:14:47,840 --> 00:14:50,320 Speaker 11: He didn't practice again today because of the illness and 310 00:14:50,360 --> 00:14:53,120 Speaker 11: the shoulder, but he is somebody who might have more 311 00:14:53,200 --> 00:14:56,080 Speaker 11: proving to do a guy who's in the MVP conversation 312 00:14:56,640 --> 00:14:58,520 Speaker 11: than believe it or not on mar Sam Darnold. 313 00:14:58,600 --> 00:15:01,760 Speaker 10: Yeah, he'll have to rep prove once again why he 314 00:15:01,880 --> 00:15:04,840 Speaker 10: has been in that MVP conversation. You mentioned all those 315 00:15:05,040 --> 00:15:08,080 Speaker 10: great defenses he's gone against, all setting him up to 316 00:15:08,240 --> 00:15:11,160 Speaker 10: go against the best one on Super Bowl Sunday.

But as I told Commissioner Goodell year, 380 00:18:00,320 --> 00:18:02,000 Speaker 12: and we have this opportunity to talk about it is 381 00:18:02,240 --> 00:18:03,720 Speaker 12: you know when you look at our game, I mean 382 00:18:04,160 --> 00:18:04,840 Speaker 12: the game. 383 00:18:04,840 --> 00:18:06,920 Speaker 4: Really that is so special, that is football. 384 00:18:06,960 --> 00:18:09,280 Speaker 12: All the things that make up you know, the physicality 385 00:18:09,320 --> 00:18:12,040 Speaker 12: and dominance that is is really what football is and 386 00:18:12,040 --> 00:18:14,359 Speaker 12: separates itself from other sports. When I look at the 387 00:18:14,400 --> 00:18:16,480 Speaker 12: offensive line, they're one of the most unique positions in 388 00:18:16,480 --> 00:18:18,200 Speaker 12: the world. It's the only position in the world that 389 00:18:18,240 --> 00:18:20,120 Speaker 12: plays with They're back to the ball at all times. 390 00:18:20,320 --> 00:18:21,679 Speaker 4: We never know where the football is. 391 00:18:21,720 --> 00:18:24,359 Speaker 12: We're blocking and serving and protecting for those that are 392 00:18:24,400 --> 00:18:26,840 Speaker 12: carrying it or throwing it at all times. That's our 393 00:18:26,920 --> 00:18:29,520 Speaker 12: job and so we are your greatest protectors. And so 394 00:18:29,560 --> 00:18:33,440 Speaker 12: the opportunity really to acknowledge that service and that physicality 395 00:18:33,440 --> 00:18:36,080 Speaker 12: that goes with that position of never seeking glory, but 396 00:18:36,119 --> 00:18:39,320 Speaker 12: seeking the opportunity to provide the lane or the protection 397 00:18:39,440 --> 00:18:41,840 Speaker 12: that another guy behind you needs to have their success. 398 00:18:42,119 --> 00:18:44,639 Speaker 12: I think it's a great example of really what separates 399 00:18:44,680 --> 00:18:47,040 Speaker 12: our game from other sports and gives an opportunity to 400 00:18:47,080 --> 00:18:49,679 Speaker 12: acknowledge these guys for the commitment they make year in 401 00:18:49,720 --> 00:18:52,760 Speaker 12: and year out to serving those guys around them to 402 00:18:52,840 --> 00:18:54,040 Speaker 12: chase the success they want. 403 00:18:54,320 --> 00:18:57,360 Speaker 5: You didn't just go by feel. You had a bunch 404 00:18:57,440 --> 00:19:00,280 Speaker 5: of metrics that you considered. Take us through a few 405 00:19:00,280 --> 00:19:02,280 Speaker 5: of those metrics. What you considered with them. 406 00:19:02,359 --> 00:19:03,919 Speaker 12: Yeah, I think when you really look at it, I mean, 407 00:19:04,119 --> 00:19:06,640 Speaker 12: competition obviously starts at the top. I mean the competition 408 00:19:06,680 --> 00:19:08,560 Speaker 12: of the opponents you played. You know, you look at 409 00:19:08,560 --> 00:19:11,320 Speaker 12: your durability, your availability. I think as an offensive lineman 410 00:19:11,359 --> 00:19:13,560 Speaker 12: and really at any position in the NFL, your your 411 00:19:13,600 --> 00:19:15,399 Speaker 12: ability to be on the football field is one of 412 00:19:15,440 --> 00:19:18,000 Speaker 12: the most important attributes you can have. And so we 413 00:19:18,040 --> 00:19:20,760 Speaker 12: look at those guys that really the most consistent week 414 00:19:20,800 --> 00:19:22,520 Speaker 12: in and week out with their level of play, but 415 00:19:22,600 --> 00:19:24,920 Speaker 12: also their ability to be on the field and overcome 416 00:19:24,960 --> 00:19:27,000 Speaker 12: the little, you know, nicks and knacks and injuries that 417 00:19:27,040 --> 00:19:29,399 Speaker 12: we get throughout the year to be out there with 418 00:19:29,440 --> 00:19:31,600 Speaker 12: their football team, be able to be on the field 419 00:19:31,680 --> 00:19:32,440 Speaker 12: being productive. 420 00:19:32,680 --> 00:19:33,800 Speaker 4: I think that really matters. 421 00:19:33,880 --> 00:19:36,240 Speaker 12: Is for an offensive lineman, we see it dictate games 422 00:19:36,280 --> 00:19:38,320 Speaker 12: all the time. Late in the season, and then really 423 00:19:38,359 --> 00:19:41,200 Speaker 12: football analytics and video validation. I mean to talk about, Hey, 424 00:19:41,359 --> 00:19:43,119 Speaker 12: we want to see the tape show. It's not just 425 00:19:43,119 --> 00:19:44,960 Speaker 12: that your name carries a lot of weight and you've 426 00:19:44,960 --> 00:19:47,359 Speaker 12: been really good, but we want to see the tape 427 00:19:47,359 --> 00:19:49,640 Speaker 12: show how good you've been, how consistent you've been able 428 00:19:49,640 --> 00:19:52,240 Speaker 12: to play, and also some of the metrics that tell 429 00:19:52,280 --> 00:19:55,439 Speaker 12: us how your team's done, your overall rushing success, passing success, 430 00:19:55,480 --> 00:19:57,320 Speaker 12: how are you able to protect the passer? You know, 431 00:19:57,520 --> 00:19:59,520 Speaker 12: do you give up pressures in sacks? And what's really 432 00:20:00,000 --> 00:20:02,200 Speaker 12: weakness of your game. I mean, there's so many guys 433 00:20:02,200 --> 00:20:04,320 Speaker 12: on this list that deserve to make it for so 434 00:20:04,359 --> 00:20:06,679 Speaker 12: many different reasons. But the other part of it you 435 00:20:06,760 --> 00:20:08,560 Speaker 12: that really came into this, and I think became a 436 00:20:08,600 --> 00:20:11,680 Speaker 12: really deeper conversation, is we really want this. Since it's 437 00:20:11,720 --> 00:20:14,320 Speaker 12: player driven and it's voted on by guys who played 438 00:20:14,320 --> 00:20:16,640 Speaker 12: the game, we want it to be something that year 439 00:20:16,680 --> 00:20:19,080 Speaker 12: to year, it is just how you play in that season. 440 00:20:19,119 --> 00:20:21,159 Speaker 12: It doesn't matter that you've been one of the all 441 00:20:21,240 --> 00:20:23,360 Speaker 12: time greats before that. It doesn't matter what you've done 442 00:20:23,400 --> 00:20:26,000 Speaker 12: in seasons before. In the season that we're voting on that, 443 00:20:26,040 --> 00:20:29,160 Speaker 12: we're watching your tape. How consistent are you, how available 444 00:20:29,200 --> 00:20:31,480 Speaker 12: are you? How good is your game? And that's the 445 00:20:31,560 --> 00:20:33,160 Speaker 12: guy we want to see take the award home. 446 00:20:33,280 --> 00:20:35,560 Speaker 5: And there, of course at the candidates, we're showing them 447 00:20:35,720 --> 00:20:39,359 Speaker 5: again that you considered. Again you have already voted. We 448 00:20:39,440 --> 00:20:41,240 Speaker 5: don't know who the winner is. We will find that 449 00:20:41,320 --> 00:20:44,760 Speaker 5: out at NFL Honors right before the Super Bowl, which 450 00:20:44,840 --> 00:20:46,800 Speaker 5: brings me to my next question. We've got a super 451 00:20:46,840 --> 00:20:49,160 Speaker 5: Bowl coming up in ten days. I'm sure you're disappointed 452 00:20:49,200 --> 00:20:51,880 Speaker 5: that your rimps are not in it, but give us 453 00:20:51,920 --> 00:20:54,520 Speaker 5: your scouting report what you expect from this super Bowl. 454 00:20:54,600 --> 00:20:56,600 Speaker 12: Yeah, don't forget about my Bengals, though, we didn't even 455 00:20:56,600 --> 00:20:58,880 Speaker 12: make the playoffs, so I'm disappointed for both of them. 456 00:21:00,240 --> 00:21:02,920 Speaker 4: Listen, you know what I think looking at this game. 457 00:21:04,000 --> 00:21:06,280 Speaker 12: You know, I really thought, you know, watching Seattle and 458 00:21:06,480 --> 00:21:08,360 Speaker 12: LA play, the winner of that game had the best 459 00:21:08,359 --> 00:21:10,040 Speaker 12: opportunity to win the Super Bowl. I thought, those are 460 00:21:10,040 --> 00:21:11,920 Speaker 12: two of the best teams in the NFL this year 461 00:21:12,200 --> 00:21:14,320 Speaker 12: for the most consistent amount of time, and so I 462 00:21:14,359 --> 00:21:16,240 Speaker 12: think this will be a big challenge for the Patriots. 463 00:21:16,320 --> 00:21:18,360 Speaker 12: You look how they've played offensively in these playoffs. They've 464 00:21:18,359 --> 00:21:20,840 Speaker 12: played some great defenses, but they still haven't been as 465 00:21:20,840 --> 00:21:22,760 Speaker 12: efficient as you would have expected them to be throughout 466 00:21:22,760 --> 00:21:24,399 Speaker 12: the how they were in the regular season, and so 467 00:21:24,680 --> 00:21:26,520 Speaker 12: this will be a big challenge for the New England 468 00:21:26,520 --> 00:21:29,000 Speaker 12: Patriots now that they love a challenge, they love a team. 469 00:21:29,080 --> 00:21:31,000 Speaker 12: You know, people counting them out, I'm sure they do. 470 00:21:31,680 --> 00:21:33,760 Speaker 12: But I think that really they'd have to play the 471 00:21:33,800 --> 00:21:36,360 Speaker 12: best game they've played all season long to take down 472 00:21:36,400 --> 00:21:38,720 Speaker 12: the Seattle Seahawks because a lot, to be a lot 473 00:21:38,720 --> 00:21:41,159 Speaker 12: has been made about this Seattle defense and we're just 474 00:21:41,200 --> 00:21:45,080 Speaker 12: dismissing what JSN and Sam Darnold and Cooper Cup and 475 00:21:45,119 --> 00:21:48,159 Speaker 12: this offense and my guy Kenneth Walker. I've been waiting 476 00:21:48,160 --> 00:21:50,639 Speaker 12: to see him have this kind of production. He has really, 477 00:21:51,119 --> 00:21:53,439 Speaker 12: you know, come alive in the playoffs. I think that 478 00:21:53,520 --> 00:21:56,239 Speaker 12: this offense and match with how good their defense is, 479 00:21:56,560 --> 00:21:58,280 Speaker 12: they're the best team in football right now, and the 480 00:21:58,280 --> 00:22:00,360 Speaker 12: Patriots are gonna have to play their absolute best to win. 481 00:22:00,600 --> 00:22:03,200 Speaker 5: All right back to the offensive line for our last question. 482 00:22:03,280 --> 00:22:06,560 Speaker 5: When we go into next season, what offensive line unit 483 00:22:06,600 --> 00:22:08,399 Speaker 5: should we be watching? Which one is the best in 484 00:22:08,440 --> 00:22:08,959 Speaker 5: the NFL? 485 00:22:09,160 --> 00:22:09,920 Speaker 4: Well, we will see. 486 00:22:09,960 --> 00:22:11,280 Speaker 12: I mean, I think you look at this year, there 487 00:22:11,280 --> 00:22:13,520 Speaker 12: were some great units you look at really at Denver Broncos. 488 00:22:13,560 --> 00:22:14,920 Speaker 12: You know, I was proud of the way they played 489 00:22:14,960 --> 00:22:17,880 Speaker 12: all season long. I thought they did a tremendous job 490 00:22:17,880 --> 00:22:20,400 Speaker 12: of protecting the quarterback. I look at the Chicago Bears, 491 00:22:20,760 --> 00:22:23,119 Speaker 12: really the turnaround they had to think of last year 492 00:22:23,240 --> 00:22:26,240 Speaker 12: giving up sixty something sacks and then this year completely 493 00:22:26,280 --> 00:22:28,800 Speaker 12: turning it around, not only how they protected the passer, 494 00:22:28,880 --> 00:22:30,879 Speaker 12: but the way Ben Johnson was able to develop this 495 00:22:30,960 --> 00:22:34,119 Speaker 12: run game. They really took advantage of people and physically 496 00:22:34,359 --> 00:22:36,760 Speaker 12: at the line of scrimmage in this offense. And I'm 497 00:22:36,800 --> 00:22:38,800 Speaker 12: excited to see them grow and kind of see where 498 00:22:38,800 --> 00:22:41,160 Speaker 12: they go from here. I think there's some groups last 499 00:22:41,240 --> 00:22:43,040 Speaker 12: year obviously that you can count on that really had 500 00:22:43,080 --> 00:22:45,119 Speaker 12: some injuries here there, whether it be Detroit kind of 501 00:22:45,119 --> 00:22:47,720 Speaker 12: with some new guys. Philly's been one of those Alito lines, 502 00:22:47,760 --> 00:22:50,119 Speaker 12: but Lane Johnson was out for a while. You know, 503 00:22:50,160 --> 00:22:52,040 Speaker 12: will we see some of those groups come back to 504 00:22:52,119 --> 00:22:54,159 Speaker 12: life a little bit. And then the Cowboys I think 505 00:22:54,240 --> 00:22:56,119 Speaker 12: have some special dudes up front as well, and so 506 00:22:56,400 --> 00:22:58,400 Speaker 12: how do they build on that group and maybe add 507 00:22:58,440 --> 00:23:00,520 Speaker 12: a guy or to, you know, talent wise, I think 508 00:23:00,560 --> 00:23:02,120 Speaker 12: I think there's some really good lines and I think 509 00:23:02,119 --> 00:23:05,080 Speaker 12: the other part of that conversation that's crazy, judis we 510 00:23:05,119 --> 00:23:07,760 Speaker 12: still forget like this Los Angers Rams offensive line. Look 511 00:23:07,760 --> 00:23:10,160 Speaker 12: at the Seattle defense and the performances they put together 512 00:23:10,240 --> 00:23:13,600 Speaker 12: against this defense every time Sack and Matthew Stafford for 513 00:23:13,680 --> 00:23:16,480 Speaker 12: the first time in this NFC Championship all season. I 514 00:23:16,480 --> 00:23:19,439 Speaker 12: mean really, their ability to run the football and protect 515 00:23:19,480 --> 00:23:22,040 Speaker 12: Stafford with everything he had going on with the back 516 00:23:22,040 --> 00:23:24,240 Speaker 12: all year was really what kept this offense on the 517 00:23:24,240 --> 00:23:25,080 Speaker 12: football field. 518 00:23:24,920 --> 00:23:25,720 Speaker 4: And so competitive. 519 00:23:25,760 --> 00:23:27,640 Speaker 12: So I think this Rams line could be a really 520 00:23:27,680 --> 00:23:29,920 Speaker 12: special one as well as they grow up together, and 521 00:23:30,000 --> 00:23:31,679 Speaker 12: they're going to be together for a while. 522 00:23:31,520 --> 00:23:33,560 Speaker 5: With thank you so much.

They gave him an 543 00:24:27,960 --> 00:24:30,320 Speaker 2: extension last year. Was supposed to work together with head 544 00:24:30,400 --> 00:24:35,760 Speaker 2: coach Kevin O'Connell. Instead, several weeks after the season ended, 545 00:24:35,960 --> 00:24:40,639 Speaker 2: Adolpha Mensa's out. Roberzinski will run the program until after 546 00:24:40,800 --> 00:24:43,280 Speaker 2: the draft. No bad news for the Green Bay Packers. 547 00:24:43,320 --> 00:24:46,560 Speaker 2: All good news we've known. The Mallo Flores Snedday contracts extension. 548 00:24:46,840 --> 00:24:50,280 Speaker 2: Add a couple more big ones. Brian gudikuns the general 549 00:24:50,320 --> 00:24:53,000 Speaker 2: managers and excellent John in Green Bay and Russ Ball 550 00:24:53,359 --> 00:24:55,640 Speaker 2: who writes the checks and manages the cap and all 551 00:24:55,680 --> 00:24:57,880 Speaker 2: those other important stuff in Green Bay. 552 00:24:58,000 --> 00:24:59,960 Speaker 1: All those guys got big money extensions. 553 00:25:00,119 --> 00:25:02,399 Speaker 5: Judy Jesse mentor is moving quickly to put together his 554 00:25:02,480 --> 00:25:05,359 Speaker 5: steff in Baltimore. He is hiring Declan Doyle as his 555 00:25:05,480 --> 00:25:09,200 Speaker 5: offensive coordinator. Doyle was the offensive coordinator with the Chicago Bears. 556 00:25:09,200 --> 00:25:11,840 Speaker 5: But of course, there Ben Johnson calls the plays. Doyle 557 00:25:11,880 --> 00:25:15,080 Speaker 5: will call the plays in Baltimore for Lamar Jackson. Before 558 00:25:15,160 --> 00:25:17,520 Speaker 5: joining the Bears, he had been on Sean Payton staffs 559 00:25:17,560 --> 00:25:22,239 Speaker 5: in both Denver and New Orleans. 560 00:25:22,920 --> 00:25:24,440 Speaker 1: You for any. 561 00:25:27,240 --> 00:25:28,880 Speaker 6: Touch down away. 562 00:25:32,640 --> 00:25:39,080 Speaker 1: Throws it up, mariasy, turn. 563 00:25:38,800 --> 00:25:41,240 Speaker 6: Me up by looking for reasons throw a fell down? 564 00:25:41,400 --> 00:25:43,480 Speaker 1: Don't you try and run in the run? 565 00:25:52,000 --> 00:25:56,480 Speaker 2: People? Right now? 566 00:25:56,640 --> 00:26:09,280 Speaker 6: Okas the peace late for the MVP favorite. 567 00:26:12,280 --> 00:26:14,800 Speaker 2: Time to welcome back to our good friend Jeffrey Chedea, 568 00:26:14,880 --> 00:26:18,240 Speaker 2: who is one of twenty seven contributors on NFL dot 569 00:26:18,320 --> 00:26:21,840 Speaker 2: com voting for all of the big and important awards. 570 00:26:22,000 --> 00:26:24,000 Speaker 2: So I want to get your take on some of 571 00:26:24,040 --> 00:26:26,280 Speaker 2: these awards and maybe laid out for the people, Jeffrey 572 00:26:26,359 --> 00:26:29,320 Speaker 2: on how you came down and why. 573 00:26:29,480 --> 00:26:31,800 Speaker 1: Here are the MVP finalists. 574 00:26:31,840 --> 00:26:36,320 Speaker 2: Of course, Josh Allen, Trevor Lawrence, Christian McCaffrey, all important. 575 00:26:36,480 --> 00:26:37,960 Speaker 2: But you know, I think it's fair to say we'll 576 00:26:37,960 --> 00:26:41,159 Speaker 2: be focusing on Drake May and Matthew Stafford considered to 577 00:26:41,200 --> 00:26:42,520 Speaker 2: be among the two favorites. 578 00:26:42,840 --> 00:26:44,399 Speaker 1: Where did you come down on this one? 579 00:26:44,480 --> 00:26:47,399 Speaker 13: H Matthew Stafford was my guy, and he's been my 580 00:26:47,560 --> 00:26:49,800 Speaker 13: guy most of the year. Ian, he had a stretch 581 00:26:49,880 --> 00:26:51,880 Speaker 13: there during the middle of the year, we had twenty 582 00:26:51,960 --> 00:26:54,879 Speaker 13: touchdown passes and no interceptions that he was pretty much 583 00:26:54,960 --> 00:26:57,080 Speaker 13: running away with this award. And I respect what Drake 584 00:26:57,160 --> 00:26:59,920 Speaker 13: May has done, but Matthew Stafford threw for more yards, 585 00:27:00,160 --> 00:27:04,600 Speaker 13: had more passing touchdowns and fewer interceptions. And just he's 586 00:27:05,119 --> 00:27:07,760 Speaker 13: thirty seven years old. How many more opportunities is going 587 00:27:07,800 --> 00:27:09,600 Speaker 13: to have to win this award? Drake May is going 588 00:27:09,640 --> 00:27:12,520 Speaker 13: to have more chances out there. I think Matthew Stafford is. 589 00:27:12,520 --> 00:27:14,680 Speaker 5: Going to get this one, all right, Jeffrey, Let's move 590 00:27:14,760 --> 00:27:18,800 Speaker 5: on to Offensive Player of the Year award? Who you 591 00:27:18,840 --> 00:27:19,200 Speaker 5: got there? 592 00:27:19,440 --> 00:27:21,320 Speaker 13: This was a tough one because I'm a big Jackson 593 00:27:21,359 --> 00:27:25,200 Speaker 13: Smith and Jigma fan, but I can't vote against Christian McCaffrey. 594 00:27:25,280 --> 00:27:28,720 Speaker 13: He's my guy here because the Niners offense lost so 595 00:27:28,840 --> 00:27:31,600 Speaker 13: many things. Didn't have Rock Party for stdrets, didn't have 596 00:27:31,720 --> 00:27:34,680 Speaker 13: George kill Forest stretch, never had Brandon Ayyuk, a bunch 597 00:27:34,680 --> 00:27:36,840 Speaker 13: of other receivers went down. He ended up running four 598 00:27:36,920 --> 00:27:40,439 Speaker 13: thousand yards now hinterd yard receiving, catching one hundred passes 599 00:27:40,480 --> 00:27:43,160 Speaker 13: seventeen touchdowns. He really got it done for this team 600 00:27:43,200 --> 00:27:44,080 Speaker 13: when they needed it most. 601 00:27:44,320 --> 00:27:47,320 Speaker 2: All Right, So, Defensive Player of the Year, A lot 602 00:27:47,400 --> 00:27:50,879 Speaker 2: of great candidates had some excellent seasons, right, I mean 603 00:27:50,960 --> 00:27:54,040 Speaker 2: Nick Benito had a breakout year. Well, Anderson was a stud. 604 00:27:54,880 --> 00:27:57,440 Speaker 2: I mean Micah. I could go on and on, but 605 00:27:57,840 --> 00:27:58,359 Speaker 2: if I had. 606 00:27:58,280 --> 00:28:01,000 Speaker 1: To guess, my guess is probably none those guys, right, Jeff. 607 00:28:01,160 --> 00:28:03,440 Speaker 13: Yeah, this is like one of those Bill Belichick Hall 608 00:28:03,480 --> 00:28:06,040 Speaker 13: of Fame type deals. It's a no brainer or slam duck. 609 00:28:06,119 --> 00:28:07,440 Speaker 13: It's the guy right in the middle. You can just 610 00:28:07,640 --> 00:28:10,680 Speaker 13: remove everybody else from the screen. Because Miles Garrett once 611 00:28:10,720 --> 00:28:13,720 Speaker 13: again was the most dominant player in football, and setting 612 00:28:13,800 --> 00:28:16,680 Speaker 13: the record for sacks in the season puts him over 613 00:28:16,800 --> 00:28:17,080 Speaker 13: the top. 614 00:28:17,160 --> 00:28:19,720 Speaker 1: And he's playing for a team that really didn't do much. 615 00:28:19,640 --> 00:28:22,160 Speaker 13: Didn't have much to root about or care about or celebrate, 616 00:28:22,480 --> 00:28:24,600 Speaker 13: and so this is their one big chance for the 617 00:28:24,640 --> 00:28:26,600 Speaker 13: Cleveland Browns to feel good about the way. 618 00:28:26,640 --> 00:28:28,159 Speaker 1: Their twenty twenty five season one. 619 00:28:28,240 --> 00:28:29,520 Speaker 4: This is an easy one. 620 00:28:29,760 --> 00:28:32,160 Speaker 5: I thought, Comeback Player of the year was pretty much 621 00:28:32,160 --> 00:28:34,120 Speaker 5: a no brainer as well. Who did you have there? 622 00:28:34,280 --> 00:28:36,439 Speaker 1: Well, I don't know are you allowed to take it twice? 623 00:28:36,600 --> 00:28:38,760 Speaker 13: Because Christian McCaffrey is going to get this one from 624 00:28:38,800 --> 00:28:40,440 Speaker 13: me as well. And I know that there's some other 625 00:28:40,520 --> 00:28:43,280 Speaker 13: deserving players on this list, But again, you go back 626 00:28:43,320 --> 00:28:45,160 Speaker 13: to what that team was dealing with and how they 627 00:28:45,320 --> 00:28:48,000 Speaker 13: ended up performing with so many injuries, and he was 628 00:28:48,040 --> 00:28:49,960 Speaker 13: a player who last year was a big part of 629 00:28:50,000 --> 00:28:53,200 Speaker 13: their demise, only played in four games, came back and 630 00:28:53,240 --> 00:28:55,440 Speaker 13: played in all seventeen games and put up those great 631 00:28:55,520 --> 00:28:57,960 Speaker 13: numbers for an offense that we were out there with 632 00:28:58,040 --> 00:28:59,880 Speaker 13: Mac Jones and you're out there with a whole bunch 633 00:28:59,880 --> 00:29:02,400 Speaker 13: of guys like DeMarcus Robinson a receiver, and you're still 634 00:29:02,440 --> 00:29:04,880 Speaker 13: winning games. It's largely because of what this guy was 635 00:29:04,960 --> 00:29:06,040 Speaker 13: doing for that offense. 636 00:29:06,120 --> 00:29:09,560 Speaker 1: I think maybe the most intriguing award for me, Jeffrey 637 00:29:10,080 --> 00:29:11,000 Speaker 1: is Coach of the Year. 638 00:29:11,280 --> 00:29:14,960 Speaker 2: So many good candidates, so many respected guys, including potentially 639 00:29:15,680 --> 00:29:17,280 Speaker 2: a couple guys in this game. 640 00:29:17,800 --> 00:29:20,080 Speaker 1: What say you on Coach of the Year. 641 00:29:20,160 --> 00:29:22,120 Speaker 13: If you could add about five more guys of that 642 00:29:22,240 --> 00:29:26,080 Speaker 13: list and you would be okay good here, Kyle Shanahan 643 00:29:26,600 --> 00:29:28,040 Speaker 13: what he did with the forty nine ers, and I 644 00:29:28,120 --> 00:29:29,960 Speaker 13: know I've got three forty niners on this list, but. 645 00:29:30,160 --> 00:29:32,360 Speaker 4: He deserves it because they lost so much. 646 00:29:32,440 --> 00:29:33,880 Speaker 13: And I know this is an award that usually it 647 00:29:33,960 --> 00:29:36,520 Speaker 13: goes to a guy who turned around a really bad 648 00:29:36,560 --> 00:29:39,200 Speaker 13: team from the year before. But having so many injuries 649 00:29:39,240 --> 00:29:42,120 Speaker 13: and losing Nick Bosa and Fred Warner and the players 650 00:29:42,160 --> 00:29:44,480 Speaker 13: I mentioned earlier, and still being able to be playing 651 00:29:44,480 --> 00:29:47,200 Speaker 13: in the divisional round, played for the top seed at 652 00:29:47,240 --> 00:29:49,240 Speaker 13: the end of the season and the NFC West title. 653 00:29:49,600 --> 00:29:52,240 Speaker 13: Kyle Shanahan proved why he's one of the best coaches 654 00:29:52,240 --> 00:29:54,200 Speaker 13: in the game, because this team shouldn't have been anywhere 655 00:29:54,240 --> 00:29:55,920 Speaker 13: close to a winning franchise this year. 656 00:29:56,160 --> 00:29:58,120 Speaker 2: Yeah, weren't there at the end, but I mean, it's 657 00:29:58,200 --> 00:30:01,480 Speaker 2: amazing how far that got considered just so many injuries 658 00:30:01,560 --> 00:30:03,320 Speaker 2: and of course George Kittle going down right at the 659 00:30:03,400 --> 00:30:03,760 Speaker 2: end of the year. 660 00:30:03,760 --> 00:30:05,960 Speaker 1: It was perfect because that's basically what their season was about. 661 00:30:06,160 --> 00:30:10,320 Speaker 2: Jeffrey excellent stuff, fantastic breakdown and obviously something everyone is 662 00:30:10,360 --> 00:30:13,520 Speaker 2: gonna want to check out on NFL dot com.

This is why I'm here. 672 00:30:42,280 --> 00:30:43,680 Speaker 2: I mean, there's other stuff we were talking about to 673 00:30:43,720 --> 00:30:46,400 Speaker 2: but this is why I'm here because after the coaches 674 00:30:46,440 --> 00:30:48,160 Speaker 2: get hired, after we celebrate and we do all of 675 00:30:48,200 --> 00:30:50,480 Speaker 2: our tweets with all of our pictures, they get in 676 00:30:50,520 --> 00:30:53,480 Speaker 2: the building and they have their press conference and it 677 00:30:53,600 --> 00:30:56,479 Speaker 2: is an excellent, excellent thing to watch the coach sit 678 00:30:56,520 --> 00:30:58,600 Speaker 2: up there with the owner in a suit which they. 679 00:30:58,560 --> 00:31:00,959 Speaker 1: Never ever wear, and just talk about why they get 680 00:31:01,080 --> 00:31:02,000 Speaker 1: hired and what's going to happen. 681 00:31:02,240 --> 00:31:04,520 Speaker 2: So here's what I want to ring give us grades 682 00:31:05,120 --> 00:31:08,040 Speaker 2: on you guys press conferences from all of these new coaches. 683 00:31:08,440 --> 00:31:09,320 Speaker 1: It is my pleasure. 684 00:31:09,320 --> 00:31:11,800 Speaker 14: And as somebody who is a guest lecturer at Chaman 685 00:31:11,920 --> 00:31:14,880 Speaker 14: University in Orange, California, I feel that I am the 686 00:31:14,920 --> 00:31:17,560 Speaker 14: most qualified to do this, and we're going to start 687 00:31:17,640 --> 00:31:20,320 Speaker 14: with Mike McCarthy. And one thing that I'll say about 688 00:31:20,320 --> 00:31:23,680 Speaker 14: Mike McCarthy, we all have one friend who always seems 689 00:31:23,720 --> 00:31:25,800 Speaker 14: to OutKick his coverage. If you know what I'm saying, like, 690 00:31:25,840 --> 00:31:28,720 Speaker 14: how did he end up with that person? Because that's 691 00:31:28,800 --> 00:31:31,360 Speaker 14: Mike McCarthy. He has now coached the Green Bay Packers, 692 00:31:31,600 --> 00:31:34,840 Speaker 14: the Dallas Cowboys, and now the Pittsburgh Steelers, three of 693 00:31:34,920 --> 00:31:37,360 Speaker 14: the bluest blue bloods in the NFL. 694 00:31:37,400 --> 00:31:39,400 Speaker 1: How does he do it? And you saw the waterworks 695 00:31:39,400 --> 00:31:41,640 Speaker 1: as well, he's crying. But here's the thing, Pittsburgh. 696 00:31:41,840 --> 00:31:44,160 Speaker 14: Look, you want an opportunity to go out there and 697 00:31:44,320 --> 00:31:47,479 Speaker 14: reset the whole thing, and you got. You went out 698 00:31:47,520 --> 00:31:50,520 Speaker 14: there and got an older version of Mike Tomlin. So 699 00:31:50,600 --> 00:31:52,560 Speaker 14: as I'm sitting here watching this press conference, I love 700 00:31:52,600 --> 00:31:54,160 Speaker 14: the water works, but you know what, I'm going to 701 00:31:54,200 --> 00:31:57,120 Speaker 14: give you a C plus. And you know what, I'm 702 00:31:57,360 --> 00:31:58,840 Speaker 14: starting to think that maybe there was a little bit 703 00:31:58,880 --> 00:32:02,960 Speaker 14: of plagiarism too, because this before next let's move on 704 00:32:03,280 --> 00:32:06,320 Speaker 14: to Joe Brady, And I'll be honest, Joe Brady, I 705 00:32:06,480 --> 00:32:10,160 Speaker 14: wasn't expecting much here. You certainly delivered, though, honestly, how 706 00:32:10,200 --> 00:32:12,640 Speaker 14: many times have we seen a coach bottle the opening 707 00:32:12,680 --> 00:32:14,440 Speaker 14: press conference but then go out there and have a 708 00:32:14,480 --> 00:32:16,720 Speaker 14: tremendous season. Heck, look at what happened to Liam Cohen 709 00:32:17,080 --> 00:32:20,320 Speaker 14: last year and his ill fated duvall thing. He went 710 00:32:20,360 --> 00:32:24,200 Speaker 14: out and won thirteen games. Now you're sitting here, Joe 711 00:32:24,240 --> 00:32:27,560 Speaker 14: Brady went out there a little awkward, little nerdy little thing, 712 00:32:27,680 --> 00:32:31,440 Speaker 14: but still very humble, very respectful, gave deference and respect 713 00:32:31,520 --> 00:32:33,760 Speaker 14: to Sean mcderbott and honestly, he's just playing for a 714 00:32:33,880 --> 00:32:36,880 Speaker 14: party of one, that one being Josh Allen, and Josh 715 00:32:36,920 --> 00:32:39,520 Speaker 14: Allen's like, hey, we're ready to roll, Mike, Well you should, Josh, 716 00:32:39,560 --> 00:32:41,640 Speaker 14: you help pick out who this coach was going to be. 717 00:32:41,680 --> 00:32:45,440 Speaker 14: But I still feel that was a solid presentation. I'll 718 00:32:45,480 --> 00:32:47,720 Speaker 14: give you a B plus. All right, let's move on 719 00:32:48,800 --> 00:32:52,320 Speaker 14: to the Baltimore Ravens and Jesse Minter and Jesse, I 720 00:32:52,440 --> 00:32:53,200 Speaker 14: am so sorry. 721 00:32:53,320 --> 00:32:54,800 Speaker 1: I have to apologize to you. 722 00:32:55,280 --> 00:32:57,120 Speaker 14: Because I zoned out for a little bit because when 723 00:32:57,160 --> 00:32:58,720 Speaker 14: you started talking, I was. 724 00:32:58,760 --> 00:33:02,480 Speaker 1: Like, what is the guy going to let the coach talk? 725 00:33:02,600 --> 00:33:05,400 Speaker 14: Like, Oh, that is the coach. I'm sorry I wasn't 726 00:33:05,480 --> 00:33:08,320 Speaker 14: familiar with your game. Jesse Minterer I'll be honest, I 727 00:33:08,440 --> 00:33:10,440 Speaker 14: wasn't listen. We haven't seen a lot of you. But 728 00:33:10,600 --> 00:33:14,160 Speaker 14: you're going into an organization you're following. You're following two 729 00:33:14,240 --> 00:33:17,920 Speaker 14: of the most gregarious coaches in the NFL history when 730 00:33:17,920 --> 00:33:20,000 Speaker 14: you look at it. They had Brian Billick there, they 731 00:33:20,040 --> 00:33:22,880 Speaker 14: had John Harbaugh there. Both of the eyes not only 732 00:33:22,920 --> 00:33:25,000 Speaker 14: went out there and won Super Bowls, they were larger 733 00:33:25,080 --> 00:33:26,200 Speaker 14: than life personalities. 734 00:33:26,240 --> 00:33:28,720 Speaker 1: So for Jesse Minter, the biggest thing for you. 735 00:33:29,200 --> 00:33:32,640 Speaker 14: Is to go out there and get a offensive coordinator 736 00:33:32,880 --> 00:33:34,760 Speaker 14: who can help get you to the next level. And 737 00:33:34,880 --> 00:33:37,719 Speaker 14: you hired twenty nine year old Declan Doyle, who's never 738 00:33:37,880 --> 00:33:38,440 Speaker 14: called plays. 739 00:33:39,000 --> 00:33:40,680 Speaker 1: You're hiring him to be your fall guy. 740 00:33:40,800 --> 00:33:41,280 Speaker 6: I see it. 741 00:33:41,360 --> 00:33:43,560 Speaker 14: I don't like it. I see it, Jesse Minterer, I 742 00:33:43,640 --> 00:33:45,840 Speaker 14: see you working. I'm going to downgrade you a little bit. 743 00:33:45,840 --> 00:33:47,920 Speaker 14: I'm gonna give you a B minus right there. And 744 00:33:48,160 --> 00:33:51,720 Speaker 14: finally let's go down to Tennessee and our old friend 745 00:33:52,240 --> 00:33:55,440 Speaker 14: Robert Sala, who is repeating the course because while he 746 00:33:55,640 --> 00:33:59,760 Speaker 14: enrolled with the New York Jets previously that didn't work out. 747 00:33:59,800 --> 00:34:00,720 Speaker 1: Now going to retake it. 748 00:34:00,760 --> 00:34:02,520 Speaker 14: But you know what, you can't blame him. Not a 749 00:34:02,560 --> 00:34:03,800 Speaker 14: lot of people go out there and win with the 750 00:34:03,800 --> 00:34:05,480 Speaker 14: New York Jets. But you can't hold him to that. 751 00:34:05,920 --> 00:34:09,719 Speaker 14: Similarly like you wouldn't hold Sam Darnold to these things, right, 752 00:34:09,920 --> 00:34:11,800 Speaker 14: like you kind of forget, like, ah, the Jets, that 753 00:34:12,200 --> 00:34:14,520 Speaker 14: was junior college or whatever. Now you're up to the 754 00:34:14,600 --> 00:34:18,000 Speaker 14: professional level. Here's my thing. Robert Solid goes out there, 755 00:34:18,320 --> 00:34:20,399 Speaker 14: talks like a coach, looks like a coach. 756 00:34:20,480 --> 00:34:21,640 Speaker 1: He's got the fushit Tai. 757 00:34:22,120 --> 00:34:23,960 Speaker 14: He's presenting I wanted to go out there and run 758 00:34:24,040 --> 00:34:26,040 Speaker 14: through a wall when you're talking about it. He's got 759 00:34:26,040 --> 00:34:29,040 Speaker 14: Brian Dabole as his offensive coordinator. The meeting of the 760 00:34:29,120 --> 00:34:31,680 Speaker 14: balls like this is great. He did such a great job. 761 00:34:31,760 --> 00:34:33,960 Speaker 14: And I noticed you he wasn't wearing socks with his 762 00:34:34,080 --> 00:34:37,719 Speaker 14: dress shoes A plus A plus, Bob, you did a 763 00:34:37,800 --> 00:34:39,959 Speaker 14: great job. And finally I know you're like, what about 764 00:34:40,040 --> 00:34:43,840 Speaker 14: Todd Monkett. Yeah, Todd, I'm gonna need to see you 765 00:34:43,920 --> 00:34:47,600 Speaker 14: after class. I got some questions for you. I need 766 00:34:47,680 --> 00:34:49,680 Speaker 14: to see you after class. We could talk about later, 767 00:34:49,960 --> 00:34:51,640 Speaker 14: but that's what I got. He in can't wait to 768 00:34:51,640 --> 00:34:54,040 Speaker 14: get out there and see it in San Francisco. It's 769 00:34:54,040 --> 00:34:54,839 Speaker 14: gonna be a great week. 770 00:34:55,040 --> 00:34:56,360 Speaker 1: You know who else doesn't wear socks. 771 00:34:56,800 --> 00:34:59,160 Speaker 2: Greatest college football coach of all time, Nick Saban not 772 00:34:59,200 --> 00:35:01,080 Speaker 2: a big SOAC guy. The other thing I liked about 773 00:35:01,080 --> 00:35:03,360 Speaker 2: this is your graphic when you're giving the grades is 774 00:35:03,400 --> 00:35:07,640 Speaker 2: a very serious professorial Adam Rank and man that just 775 00:35:08,120 --> 00:35:10,879 Speaker 2: just fully creeps me out right. Great stuff, as though, 776 00:35:11,000 --> 00:35:11,640 Speaker 2: look at this guy. 777 00:35:12,280 --> 00:35:15,719 Speaker 1: That got me very serious. Well, I take this seriously, Rick, 778 00:35:16,040 --> 00:35:16,680 Speaker 1: You're the best. 779 00:35:17,080 --> 00:35:19,440 Speaker 2: Thank you very much, as always have taken good notes 780 00:35:19,480 --> 00:35:21,640 Speaker 2: and I'm going to use it moving forward. 781 00:35:21,840 --> 00:35:25,800 Speaker 5: The Senior Bowl is tomorrow, That is Saturday, two thirty Eastern. 782 00:35:25,920 --> 00:35:28,440 Speaker 5: Right here on the NFL Network, there's Tom. That's why 783 00:35:28,520 --> 00:35:30,680 Speaker 5: he's not with us tonight. He is on the sidelines 784 00:35:30,719 --> 00:35:34,200 Speaker 5: with our Daniel Jeremiah rhtt Lewis and Charles Davis, all 785 00:35:34,360 --> 00:35:37,120 Speaker 5: on the call. Tom is still in Mobile, Alabama, where 786 00:35:37,160 --> 00:35:39,800 Speaker 5: he caught up with our friend Trevor Sikama a PFF 787 00:35:40,320 --> 00:35:41,120 Speaker 5: on the Senior Bowl. 788 00:35:41,680 --> 00:35:44,319 Speaker 7: Trevor practice wrapping up here at the twenty twenty six 789 00:35:44,400 --> 00:35:45,359 Speaker 7: Panini Senior Bowl. 790 00:35:45,560 --> 00:35:47,120 Speaker 15: Who are some guys who've really jumped out to you 791 00:35:47,239 --> 00:35:49,080 Speaker 15: this week? Defensive line guys. I think we have to 792 00:35:49,120 --> 00:35:51,040 Speaker 15: start there. It's one of the strongest groups of the 793 00:35:51,200 --> 00:35:53,160 Speaker 15: entire draft class, and I think it was no different 794 00:35:53,239 --> 00:35:53,840 Speaker 15: here in Mobile. 795 00:35:53,880 --> 00:35:55,080 Speaker 1: You got guys like TJ. 796 00:35:55,239 --> 00:35:58,799 Speaker 15: Parker from Clemson, Zion Young from Missouri, Lee Hunter from 797 00:35:58,880 --> 00:36:02,520 Speaker 15: Texas Tech. Power is a prerequisite to play at the 798 00:36:02,640 --> 00:36:05,000 Speaker 15: NFL level, and these guys from the very first snap 799 00:36:05,120 --> 00:36:07,520 Speaker 15: showcase it. I mean, the violence that they play with 800 00:36:07,880 --> 00:36:09,560 Speaker 15: is what you need when you're playing in the pros. 801 00:36:09,600 --> 00:36:11,200 Speaker 15: And I think that's the coaches want to see. It's 802 00:36:11,239 --> 00:36:12,759 Speaker 15: when NFL teams want to see. They want you to 803 00:36:12,800 --> 00:36:15,480 Speaker 15: see come here and dominate, play with a ton of confidence. 804 00:36:15,520 --> 00:36:17,600 Speaker 15: And so a lot of those guys, especially in the 805 00:36:17,640 --> 00:36:20,399 Speaker 15: one on one drills, they're testing these offensive tackles whether 806 00:36:20,480 --> 00:36:22,799 Speaker 15: or not they can anchor. And for most of those 807 00:36:22,880 --> 00:36:25,919 Speaker 15: guys that I just mentioned there, these offensive tackles haven't 808 00:36:25,920 --> 00:36:27,279 Speaker 15: been able to handle them. And so that's how you 809 00:36:27,360 --> 00:36:31,000 Speaker 15: get into that first round conversation with all of these guys. 810 00:36:31,080 --> 00:36:33,919 Speaker 15: Because if it's a draft class where it's a little 811 00:36:33,960 --> 00:36:35,400 Speaker 15: bit of a mixed bag, there's not as much of 812 00:36:35,480 --> 00:36:37,719 Speaker 15: a consensus of who's going to go in the first round, 813 00:36:38,120 --> 00:36:40,320 Speaker 15: you're gonna feel a lot of teams go, well, I 814 00:36:40,360 --> 00:36:42,080 Speaker 15: don't have to worry about that guy from a strength 815 00:36:42,160 --> 00:36:44,759 Speaker 15: and size perspective, get him on my football team, I 816 00:36:44,800 --> 00:36:46,600 Speaker 15: at least know what I got from a good floor perspective, 817 00:36:46,600 --> 00:36:47,800 Speaker 15: and I think these guys have been able to do it. 818 00:36:47,920 --> 00:36:49,680 Speaker 7: Let's talky about the quarterbacks because in this class you 819 00:36:49,760 --> 00:36:53,279 Speaker 7: got Fernando Mendoza, probably Tye Simpson, and then it's kind 820 00:36:53,320 --> 00:36:55,759 Speaker 7: of everybody else and there's a lot of variants from 821 00:36:55,800 --> 00:36:58,319 Speaker 7: team to team. We're very early in the process here, who, 822 00:36:58,360 --> 00:37:00,000 Speaker 7: if anyone has stood out from these guys. 823 00:37:00,239 --> 00:37:02,680 Speaker 15: Well, I think from the quarterback conversation, Garrett Nusmeyer from 824 00:37:02,760 --> 00:37:04,880 Speaker 15: LSU's where all of the eyes were, and I think 825 00:37:04,880 --> 00:37:06,719 Speaker 15: that he has been fine this week, especially on the 826 00:37:06,760 --> 00:37:08,839 Speaker 15: second day of practice, I felt like he was going 827 00:37:08,880 --> 00:37:10,680 Speaker 15: through a rhythm a little bit in those team drills 828 00:37:10,680 --> 00:37:12,400 Speaker 15: and we started to see him operate in the up 829 00:37:12,440 --> 00:37:15,520 Speaker 15: tempo where hey, not as much thinking with a new playbook, 830 00:37:15,560 --> 00:37:17,759 Speaker 15: it's more of I'm just kind of just going out 831 00:37:17,800 --> 00:37:19,960 Speaker 15: there and playing free. And that's when nuss Meyer is 832 00:37:20,000 --> 00:37:22,320 Speaker 15: at his best. And so this past year, yeah, it 833 00:37:22,360 --> 00:37:23,560 Speaker 15: was a little bit of a step back from the 834 00:37:23,640 --> 00:37:26,160 Speaker 15: year before, but you wonder how hurt was he right? 835 00:37:26,160 --> 00:37:27,480 Speaker 15: And so you look at the arm strength, and you 836 00:37:27,560 --> 00:37:30,200 Speaker 15: maybe have some arm strength concerns this past season, but 837 00:37:30,239 --> 00:37:32,480 Speaker 15: you go, man, was that a bleak really getting in 838 00:37:32,480 --> 00:37:34,440 Speaker 15: the way of him showcasing that And so it was 839 00:37:34,480 --> 00:37:36,600 Speaker 15: good to at least see some really nice throws, some 840 00:37:36,680 --> 00:37:38,759 Speaker 15: really good progressions from him out here. And then the 841 00:37:38,840 --> 00:37:41,640 Speaker 15: other guy that I will shout out Baylor Sawyer Robertson. 842 00:37:41,719 --> 00:37:43,520 Speaker 15: He is somebody who, may you want to talk about 843 00:37:43,560 --> 00:37:45,920 Speaker 15: arm talent. I think he has it, former pitcher background 844 00:37:46,000 --> 00:37:48,600 Speaker 15: and somebody who's been really been able to light it up, 845 00:37:48,640 --> 00:37:51,759 Speaker 15: especially as a vertical passer in Baylor's offense. And so 846 00:37:52,040 --> 00:37:55,120 Speaker 15: he's somebody who the mechanics are a little bit wonky 847 00:37:55,160 --> 00:37:56,960 Speaker 15: from the baseball days, and so you know, there are 848 00:37:57,040 --> 00:37:59,400 Speaker 15: times when he's a little inconsistent with the accuracy and 849 00:37:59,440 --> 00:38:02,600 Speaker 15: the true ball placement. But man, when he was targeting 850 00:38:02,680 --> 00:38:05,600 Speaker 15: deep down the field, especially against man coverage, he was 851 00:38:05,680 --> 00:38:08,200 Speaker 15: one of the highest passers certainly in his conference going 852 00:38:08,239 --> 00:38:10,160 Speaker 15: after man coverage because he looked at his receiver and 853 00:38:10,200 --> 00:38:12,560 Speaker 15: he said, Okay, press coverage on the outside, I'm gonna 854 00:38:12,560 --> 00:38:14,279 Speaker 15: give my guy a chance deep down the field. And 855 00:38:14,320 --> 00:38:15,960 Speaker 15: I think there's plenty of coaches in the NFL that 856 00:38:16,080 --> 00:38:17,839 Speaker 15: say all right, give me that and I can try 857 00:38:17,880 --> 00:38:18,280 Speaker 15: to fix. 858 00:38:18,200 --> 00:38:19,439 Speaker 6: And work at the details of the rest. 859 00:38:19,719 --> 00:38:22,000 Speaker 7: One of the best parts of this place is seen 860 00:38:22,280 --> 00:38:24,359 Speaker 7: the big school guys go against the little school guys. 861 00:38:24,400 --> 00:38:26,640 Speaker 7: Give me a sleeper, somebody that's jumped out to you. Man, 862 00:38:26,680 --> 00:38:28,160 Speaker 7: there's an easy answer for this one. 863 00:38:28,239 --> 00:38:33,120 Speaker 15: Tyron Montgomery, the wide receiver from John Carroll University D three. Okay, 864 00:38:33,760 --> 00:38:36,000 Speaker 15: anytime you get a D three player that comes this event, 865 00:38:36,080 --> 00:38:37,840 Speaker 15: you go, right, what are we doing here? You know, 866 00:38:37,960 --> 00:38:39,719 Speaker 15: is this guy just gonna is he gonna get totally 867 00:38:39,800 --> 00:38:42,480 Speaker 15: washed out by NFL level competition. But Toy Montgomery is 868 00:38:42,520 --> 00:38:44,759 Speaker 15: and he is somebody who actually walked onto LSU as 869 00:38:44,800 --> 00:38:47,640 Speaker 15: a basketball player, ended up having to move home because 870 00:38:47,640 --> 00:38:49,680 Speaker 15: of some family issues that his family was going through. 871 00:38:50,040 --> 00:38:53,279 Speaker 15: His brother, who played collegiate football, was like, dude, you 872 00:38:53,360 --> 00:38:56,080 Speaker 15: could play college football, and so he actually didn't have 873 00:38:56,160 --> 00:38:58,360 Speaker 15: any high school tape, didn't play any high school football 874 00:38:58,360 --> 00:39:00,759 Speaker 15: at all. Plays flag for ball to go get some 875 00:39:00,880 --> 00:39:02,920 Speaker 15: tape the show to coaches, ends up getting to Nickelstate 876 00:39:02,920 --> 00:39:05,600 Speaker 15: plays one year, and then he really dominated at John Carroll. 877 00:39:05,800 --> 00:39:07,720 Speaker 15: Here at the Senior Bowl, though he's going up against 878 00:39:07,920 --> 00:39:10,800 Speaker 15: some of the best upper classmen in the class, and 879 00:39:10,920 --> 00:39:12,560 Speaker 15: he is not only holding his own, but I would 880 00:39:12,600 --> 00:39:14,200 Speaker 15: tell you that he has been one of the better 881 00:39:14,239 --> 00:39:16,520 Speaker 15: wide receivers here. So I can't wait to dive into 882 00:39:16,560 --> 00:39:18,680 Speaker 15: his tape a little bit more and especially see how 883 00:39:18,680 --> 00:39:21,040 Speaker 15: he's going to test athletically at the combine. Riz Steff Trevor, 884 00:39:21,080 --> 00:39:22,320 Speaker 15: thank you, course, I appreciate it. 885 00:39:22,440 --> 00:39:24,239 Speaker 5: If it's time for the Senior Bowl, that means it 886 00:39:24,400 --> 00:39:28,560 Speaker 5: is mock draft season. Daniel Jeremiah Jeremiah's mock draft one 887 00:39:28,640 --> 00:39:32,200 Speaker 5: point zero, no surprise, Fernando Mendoza at number one, No 888 00:39:32,400 --> 00:39:35,880 Speaker 5: wide receivers in his top ten. Two Hurricanes, though heavy 889 00:39:35,920 --> 00:39:40,319 Speaker 5: on defense, six defensive players in Daniel Jeremiah's mock draft. 890 00:39:40,520 --> 00:39:43,759 Speaker 2: Micky Brooks also has a mock draft, same number one. 891 00:39:44,000 --> 00:39:47,400 Speaker 2: Actually top three are the same three Ohio State players, 892 00:39:47,440 --> 00:39:50,600 Speaker 2: which is just crazy for Bucket Brooks man, I can't 893 00:39:50,600 --> 00:39:53,440 Speaker 2: believe we're already on the first mock draft. Maybe a 894 00:39:53,520 --> 00:39:56,399 Speaker 2: couple hundred more to go, just a little bit more 895 00:39:56,440 --> 00:39:58,560 Speaker 2: to go on the insiders, though, we're. 896 00:39:58,360 --> 00:39:59,920 Speaker 1: Going to look at fast. 897 00:40:00,320 --> 00:40:02,239 Speaker 2: Yeah, we're gonna be talking about fashion because we're two 898 00:40:02,239 --> 00:40:07,040 Speaker 2: fashionable people.

The Seahawks are 901 00:40:14,000 --> 00:40:17,400 Speaker 2: going to be in blue, that's important. The Patriots are 902 00:40:17,400 --> 00:40:19,160 Speaker 2: going to be in white, where they have had a 903 00:40:19,360 --> 00:40:21,719 Speaker 2: ton of success. So if you're a fan of either 904 00:40:21,719 --> 00:40:23,600 Speaker 2: of these teams, or you just want to be color coordinated, 905 00:40:23,880 --> 00:40:26,439 Speaker 2: now you know what to wear.

Guess the blue would have been a good 909 00:40:35,360 --> 00:40:37,920 Speaker 8: idea that white, as long as we got a uniform on. 910 00:40:38,160 --> 00:40:40,720 Speaker 8: I went through this with the uniform police in Tennessee. 911 00:40:41,320 --> 00:40:44,680 Speaker 8: I try not to get too involved with it.
