Carson Wentz will defend himself. We'll talk about 13 00:01:02,400 --> 00:01:06,280 Speaker 1: the criticism he gets, his reaction to Jim Ersey saying 14 00:01:06,720 --> 00:01:10,399 Speaker 1: we made a mistake acquiring Carson Wentz. We'll get to 15 00:01:10,440 --> 00:01:14,120 Speaker 1: that in about ten minutes. My thoughts about Game one 16 00:01:14,760 --> 00:01:20,440 Speaker 1: as Miami beats Boston. You know, for a big chunk 17 00:01:20,520 --> 00:01:24,360 Speaker 1: of this game, I was thinking to myself, you can't 18 00:01:24,400 --> 00:01:28,160 Speaker 1: convince me either one of these teams is potentially the 19 00:01:28,200 --> 00:01:32,720 Speaker 1: best in the NBA. But the four teams left are 20 00:01:32,760 --> 00:01:36,680 Speaker 1: all very good teams. None of them are great teams. 21 00:01:36,880 --> 00:01:42,360 Speaker 1: I will say there's a lot of criticism of the 22 00:01:42,520 --> 00:01:46,959 Speaker 1: nineteen seventies NBA. You know, people often say, you know, 23 00:01:47,000 --> 00:01:51,800 Speaker 1: the NBA kind of was reborn in the eighties when 24 00:01:51,800 --> 00:01:55,880 Speaker 1: you had Magic and you had Bird in the Celtics Lakers' rivalry. 25 00:01:56,560 --> 00:01:59,440 Speaker 1: Then obviously that was followed by you know, the bad 26 00:01:59,520 --> 00:02:07,600 Speaker 1: boy is Michael Jordan. You know, the great Shack Kobe dynasty, 27 00:02:07,640 --> 00:02:10,680 Speaker 1: the Heatles. That's really the heart of the NBA. But 28 00:02:11,200 --> 00:02:14,480 Speaker 1: I grew up with the seventies NBA and it was great, 29 00:02:15,520 --> 00:02:19,200 Speaker 1: but it wasn't great teams. It was very good teams, 30 00:02:19,680 --> 00:02:22,960 Speaker 1: all with one great player. The Knicks had Walt Frazier 31 00:02:23,080 --> 00:02:26,760 Speaker 1: won a title, the Warriors had Rick Berry won a title, 32 00:02:27,080 --> 00:02:30,120 Speaker 1: the Sonics had Gus Williams they won a single title, 33 00:02:30,200 --> 00:02:34,639 Speaker 1: Blazers had Bill Walton won a single title. And that's 34 00:02:34,639 --> 00:02:38,800 Speaker 1: the way it went through the nineteen seventies. It wasn't 35 00:02:39,000 --> 00:02:43,240 Speaker 1: bad basketball. They weren't bad teams. What you had was 36 00:02:43,360 --> 00:02:46,480 Speaker 1: Elvin Hayes with the Washington Bullets won a title, and 37 00:02:46,480 --> 00:02:50,000 Speaker 1: then it was surrounded by very good players. West Unselled, 38 00:02:50,320 --> 00:02:54,760 Speaker 1: Phil Shanier, Bobby Dandridge, Kevin Greevy. But it's often we 39 00:02:54,800 --> 00:02:57,520 Speaker 1: look at the seventies NBA and it's a punching bag 40 00:02:58,160 --> 00:03:01,800 Speaker 1: for the league. The league had some revenue issues and 41 00:03:02,040 --> 00:03:07,320 Speaker 1: wasn't smartly marketed. It's hard to fathom, but when David 42 00:03:07,360 --> 00:03:10,839 Speaker 1: Stern took over the NBA as commissioner, the finals were 43 00:03:10,880 --> 00:03:14,720 Speaker 1: on tape delay. I think about that. The NBA finals 44 00:03:14,720 --> 00:03:17,880 Speaker 1: were on tape delay when I was a kid. And 45 00:03:18,200 --> 00:03:20,680 Speaker 1: the reason I bring up the seventies NBA is because 46 00:03:21,440 --> 00:03:26,560 Speaker 1: the final four teams, the Warriors, the MAVs, the Celtics 47 00:03:26,560 --> 00:03:30,840 Speaker 1: and the Heat remind me of the seventies NBA. We 48 00:03:30,919 --> 00:03:36,280 Speaker 1: have four great players, Jimmy Butler, Jason Tatum, Luca and 49 00:03:36,320 --> 00:03:42,120 Speaker 1: Steph Curry, and then a bunch of very good supporting players. 50 00:03:42,120 --> 00:03:44,520 Speaker 1: You know my thought on the Celtics. First of all, 51 00:03:44,560 --> 00:03:49,400 Speaker 1: they had nearly an impeccable perfect first half. The Celtics 52 00:03:49,440 --> 00:03:53,400 Speaker 1: scored forty two points in the paint in the first half. 53 00:03:54,160 --> 00:03:57,000 Speaker 1: Now you may say, well, sew up. That is the 54 00:03:57,120 --> 00:04:01,440 Speaker 1: most points in twenty five years for the Celtics in 55 00:04:01,520 --> 00:04:06,280 Speaker 1: a single half in the paint regular season playoffs. That's 56 00:04:06,280 --> 00:04:09,200 Speaker 1: the most points they have scored in a half in 57 00:04:09,240 --> 00:04:13,480 Speaker 1: the paint. You knew it wouldn't continue. You knew Miami 58 00:04:13,560 --> 00:04:17,000 Speaker 1: was better than that. Defensively, Jason Tatum was great in 59 00:04:17,000 --> 00:04:21,000 Speaker 1: the first half. Too many easy looks. I do believe 60 00:04:21,080 --> 00:04:23,880 Speaker 1: Boston wins this series, and the reason I believe it 61 00:04:23,920 --> 00:04:26,760 Speaker 1: in six is because I think over the course of 62 00:04:26,760 --> 00:04:30,600 Speaker 1: the series, when Marcus Smart, who miss game one, returns, 63 00:04:30,680 --> 00:04:36,240 Speaker 1: Al Horford miss game one, returns, Boston will force Miami 64 00:04:37,120 --> 00:04:43,000 Speaker 1: into more poor shots. So I thought Boston played a 65 00:04:43,080 --> 00:04:45,960 Speaker 1: nearly flawless first half, and then I think in the 66 00:04:46,000 --> 00:04:49,760 Speaker 1: second half it was just a six minute run. Miami 67 00:04:49,800 --> 00:04:53,279 Speaker 1: went on a twenty two to two run for about 68 00:04:53,279 --> 00:04:57,560 Speaker 1: six minutes, and that was your ball game. Great teams 69 00:04:57,640 --> 00:05:01,880 Speaker 1: are not outscored twenty two to two, usually in the 70 00:05:01,880 --> 00:05:06,080 Speaker 1: conference finals. But that's what we have here. What we 71 00:05:06,160 --> 00:05:12,240 Speaker 1: have are good teams, all with incredibly odvious ceilings. And 72 00:05:12,240 --> 00:05:15,840 Speaker 1: when you're a very good team, you can't sustain an 73 00:05:15,920 --> 00:05:19,040 Speaker 1: injury and win, and you can't be missing Al Horford 74 00:05:19,200 --> 00:05:23,680 Speaker 1: and Marcus Smart and win. So there's your bald game. Now, 75 00:05:23,839 --> 00:05:27,760 Speaker 1: I will say about Miami, I have been dubious of 76 00:05:27,760 --> 00:05:31,520 Speaker 1: the heat. If you look at the history of the NBA, 77 00:05:31,600 --> 00:05:34,440 Speaker 1: the team with the best bench, and that's the strength 78 00:05:34,560 --> 00:05:37,760 Speaker 1: really of the heat. They led the NBA in bench scoring. 79 00:05:38,120 --> 00:05:40,440 Speaker 1: They weren't the best defense, they weren't the best offense. 80 00:05:40,720 --> 00:05:44,080 Speaker 1: They've got a great culture, a tremendous coach. Jimmy Butler 81 00:05:44,160 --> 00:05:47,200 Speaker 1: is a great athlete. Is he a great closer? You know, 82 00:05:47,400 --> 00:05:51,960 Speaker 1: six time All Star, really really really top player. But 83 00:05:52,720 --> 00:05:55,520 Speaker 1: you know their strength is they can throw bodies at you. 84 00:05:56,560 --> 00:05:59,320 Speaker 1: They have a rotation in which they don't lose a 85 00:05:59,360 --> 00:06:02,680 Speaker 1: lot as long as Butler's on the floor. They can 86 00:06:02,720 --> 00:06:05,200 Speaker 1: play a lot of different guys and it works. They 87 00:06:05,200 --> 00:06:07,320 Speaker 1: didn't get a great first half from Bam out of Bayou, 88 00:06:07,320 --> 00:06:10,280 Speaker 1: who didn't do much, and they still want so they 89 00:06:10,279 --> 00:06:14,000 Speaker 1: have to feel great about defending their home floor. Miami 90 00:06:14,080 --> 00:06:16,200 Speaker 1: has not lost a home game in the playoffs. Nobody 91 00:06:16,240 --> 00:06:19,360 Speaker 1: else can say that. So you know, my takeaway is 92 00:06:19,440 --> 00:06:22,400 Speaker 1: two good teams, but Boston's not good enough to be 93 00:06:22,480 --> 00:06:26,400 Speaker 1: missing two of their seven best players, Marcus Smart Al 94 00:06:26,480 --> 00:06:30,480 Speaker 1: Horford just not. And I don't think Miami would be 95 00:06:30,560 --> 00:06:34,520 Speaker 1: as well. I'll still take Boston in the series, and 96 00:06:34,560 --> 00:06:36,919 Speaker 1: then I can't wait to watch the Warriors and Mavericks. 97 00:06:36,920 --> 00:06:40,000 Speaker 1: I think that'll be the far more entertaining series, the 98 00:06:40,080 --> 00:06:43,159 Speaker 1: more offensive minded series. I think Luca is the single 99 00:06:43,200 --> 00:06:48,200 Speaker 1: best player remaining in the NBA playoffs now that Jannis 100 00:06:48,320 --> 00:06:51,599 Speaker 1: is out. But I think I think Boston'll be fine. 101 00:06:51,680 --> 00:06:55,640 Speaker 1: I said it on FS one earlier this week. If 102 00:06:55,720 --> 00:06:59,400 Speaker 1: you told me I had to consider everything about all 103 00:06:59,440 --> 00:07:03,560 Speaker 1: the players in the NBA age. Can they shoot, can 104 00:07:03,600 --> 00:07:09,480 Speaker 1: they defend, baggage, injury history? I had to consider everything, 105 00:07:09,840 --> 00:07:12,680 Speaker 1: and then I had to pick the three players I 106 00:07:12,720 --> 00:07:17,000 Speaker 1: wanted to start my franchise over the next decade. One 107 00:07:17,000 --> 00:07:20,200 Speaker 1: would be Honest, two would be Luca, and three would 108 00:07:20,200 --> 00:07:23,160 Speaker 1: be Jason Tatum. He's a great free throw shooter, hit 109 00:07:23,200 --> 00:07:27,360 Speaker 1: a three defender, three he's gotten better every year, tremendous work, ethic, 110 00:07:27,440 --> 00:07:30,600 Speaker 1: no ego, no real baggage, doesn't get hurt. So I 111 00:07:30,600 --> 00:07:33,560 Speaker 1: think generally, if you have the best player in the series, 112 00:07:33,880 --> 00:07:38,640 Speaker 1: I like you in the series. So I'll take Boston eventually. 113 00:07:38,720 --> 00:07:41,320 Speaker 1: Now on the other side, Luca is the best player 114 00:07:41,320 --> 00:07:46,000 Speaker 1: in that series. But I just think the best collection 115 00:07:46,040 --> 00:07:50,680 Speaker 1: of offensive players is the Warriors, and they'll kind of 116 00:07:50,720 --> 00:07:54,440 Speaker 1: figure out away over the course of six or seven games. 117 00:07:55,160 --> 00:08:00,840 Speaker 1: Steph Clay, Andrew Wiggins, Draymond Greene a Jordan Pool. They'll 118 00:08:00,840 --> 00:08:03,080 Speaker 1: have too many offensive weapons for the Mavericks, and they 119 00:08:03,120 --> 00:08:07,120 Speaker 1: also have much more playoff experience, big edge, whereas the 120 00:08:07,160 --> 00:08:09,400 Speaker 1: Celtics and the Heat. Both those teams have been to 121 00:08:09,440 --> 00:08:14,560 Speaker 1: the playoffs very routinely, very regularly, last several years. But 122 00:08:14,840 --> 00:08:17,000 Speaker 1: I think the experience of the Warriors will pay off. 123 00:08:17,760 --> 00:08:20,480 Speaker 1: So Game one in the books, Heat have at wont 124 00:08:20,480 --> 00:08:24,520 Speaker 1: to lead. Let's talk to the Washington Commander's quarterback, the 125 00:08:24,720 --> 00:08:33,880 Speaker 1: often maligned, well traveled Carson Wentz. Are you ever surprised 126 00:08:34,520 --> 00:08:43,000 Speaker 1: how much you're disgusted in the NFL? Honestly, I'm not 127 00:08:43,679 --> 00:08:48,000 Speaker 1: really aware usually, which is for me a great way 128 00:08:48,040 --> 00:08:51,040 Speaker 1: to live, a great way to be. I usually find 129 00:08:51,080 --> 00:08:53,560 Speaker 1: out about things that are going on because people will 130 00:08:53,600 --> 00:08:55,840 Speaker 1: reach out and say, hey, you're doing okay, or hey 131 00:08:56,600 --> 00:08:58,560 Speaker 1: such and such said this to this, and I'm like, 132 00:08:58,640 --> 00:09:02,440 Speaker 1: I really didn't want to know that. But yeah, it's 133 00:09:02,920 --> 00:09:05,360 Speaker 1: kind of makes me laugh. Kind of is what it is. Um. 134 00:09:05,800 --> 00:09:08,400 Speaker 1: You know, I think I do it the best I 135 00:09:08,440 --> 00:09:11,400 Speaker 1: can in every situation that that is put in front 136 00:09:11,400 --> 00:09:12,800 Speaker 1: of me and try and make the most of it 137 00:09:12,880 --> 00:09:16,880 Speaker 1: and enjoy the time. But yeah, it's it kind of 138 00:09:16,920 --> 00:09:18,760 Speaker 1: makes me laugh a little bit. Sometimes the things that 139 00:09:18,800 --> 00:09:20,800 Speaker 1: I hear and the thanks people send me, Well, you know, 140 00:09:20,840 --> 00:09:23,480 Speaker 1: it's interesting because a lot of criticism. I get criticism. 141 00:09:23,520 --> 00:09:25,880 Speaker 1: We're public figures. I don't care. The only stuff that 142 00:09:25,920 --> 00:09:29,240 Speaker 1: would bother me would be personal stuff, right, And sometimes 143 00:09:29,280 --> 00:09:31,760 Speaker 1: I think people have been too personal with you, And 144 00:09:31,800 --> 00:09:33,360 Speaker 1: I've said that, I've defended you a lot in the 145 00:09:33,360 --> 00:09:35,160 Speaker 1: air where I'm like, I don't know a big, strong 146 00:09:35,200 --> 00:09:38,760 Speaker 1: athletic I like him. But you know, like when Jim 147 00:09:38,920 --> 00:09:41,680 Speaker 1: Ursay says, hey, we made a mistake, I'm like, ow, wow, 148 00:09:41,920 --> 00:09:44,559 Speaker 1: that's kind of perfect. Like that hurts a little, right, 149 00:09:46,800 --> 00:09:48,960 Speaker 1: I mean, it is what it is. You know, everyone's 150 00:09:49,040 --> 00:09:52,840 Speaker 1: entitled their own opinion. Um. You know, I thought last 151 00:09:52,920 --> 00:09:55,240 Speaker 1: year was a was a really fun year. Um. You know, 152 00:09:55,280 --> 00:09:58,160 Speaker 1: I thought we did some incredible things. Came up short 153 00:09:58,200 --> 00:10:01,959 Speaker 1: at the end, obviously struggled down the stretch there and 154 00:10:02,240 --> 00:10:06,280 Speaker 1: timing was poor. But yeah, that I didn't expect that. 155 00:10:06,320 --> 00:10:08,520 Speaker 1: I didn't expect that things unfold the way they did. 156 00:10:08,559 --> 00:10:10,520 Speaker 1: And you know, I thought things were in a pretty 157 00:10:10,559 --> 00:10:14,079 Speaker 1: good place there, had awesome relationships with every single person 158 00:10:14,120 --> 00:10:16,680 Speaker 1: in that building. Can't say enough good things about the 159 00:10:16,760 --> 00:10:19,280 Speaker 1: people over there. And um yeah, kind of came out 160 00:10:19,280 --> 00:10:21,080 Speaker 1: of left field. You know, he's he's entitled to his 161 00:10:21,080 --> 00:10:23,360 Speaker 1: own opinion, and you know he's entitled to do what 162 00:10:23,400 --> 00:10:26,480 Speaker 1: he wants with his football team. You know, the NFL 163 00:10:26,559 --> 00:10:28,840 Speaker 1: is tough. As you know, you played for a dominant 164 00:10:28,880 --> 00:10:32,160 Speaker 1: college program, and in college you line up a lot 165 00:10:32,160 --> 00:10:34,240 Speaker 1: of times if you're a top program, and you know 166 00:10:34,640 --> 00:10:37,520 Speaker 1: on Saturday, like you'd have to release screw up. In 167 00:10:37,520 --> 00:10:41,080 Speaker 1: the NFL, the Jet, the Jets beat the Colts or 168 00:10:41,080 --> 00:10:44,280 Speaker 1: the jacuse me, the Jets beat the Titans, who are 169 00:10:44,280 --> 00:10:46,440 Speaker 1: the number one seed in the AFC. Like people don't 170 00:10:46,440 --> 00:10:47,880 Speaker 1: want to talk about that, but they want to talk 171 00:10:47,920 --> 00:10:51,640 Speaker 1: about the Jags beating the Colts. But the Jets for 172 00:10:51,840 --> 00:10:55,120 Speaker 1: and if you watch that game, you're like, what is 173 00:10:55,160 --> 00:10:58,040 Speaker 1: going on here?

You know, honestly, and then once rumors and 181 00:11:21,600 --> 00:11:24,679 Speaker 1: reports are going around, I'm like, you know, talking to 182 00:11:24,720 --> 00:11:27,640 Speaker 1: my agent under these things, real, what's going on?

But yeah, it was. 189 00:11:43,679 --> 00:11:46,240 Speaker 1: It was a very unfortunate ending to the season. Um, 190 00:11:46,480 --> 00:11:50,120 Speaker 1: you know, not a good time to to play poorly 191 00:11:50,679 --> 00:11:52,200 Speaker 1: the way the way I did, and as a team 192 00:11:52,240 --> 00:11:55,240 Speaker 1: we struggled.

And I'm we had our 195 00:12:00,800 --> 00:12:02,320 Speaker 1: work cut out for us. The first time we played 196 00:12:02,360 --> 00:12:05,000 Speaker 1: the Jags at home. You know, we squeaked it out 197 00:12:05,040 --> 00:12:07,160 Speaker 1: in the end. And it's always a good team. That 198 00:12:07,240 --> 00:12:08,839 Speaker 1: was a good defense last year and they made our 199 00:12:08,840 --> 00:12:14,800 Speaker 1: lives tough and they got us on that day.

Person, 231 00:13:48,760 --> 00:13:51,360 Speaker 1: I've said this before about your style, that you remind 232 00:13:51,400 --> 00:13:54,480 Speaker 1: me of a more talented Sam Darnold in that you're 233 00:13:54,520 --> 00:13:58,200 Speaker 1: a physical player and so and you're a risk taker, 234 00:13:58,240 --> 00:14:01,360 Speaker 1: and I like my quarterbacks to take risks. And I've 235 00:14:01,360 --> 00:14:05,319 Speaker 1: said you can coach players in and out of a lot. 236 00:14:05,800 --> 00:14:07,960 Speaker 1: But if a guy is a risk taker and at 237 00:14:08,000 --> 00:14:11,280 Speaker 1: sometimes you know, risk taking reckless are really close. You know, 238 00:14:11,320 --> 00:14:14,000 Speaker 1: they say love and hate or in the same envelope, right, 239 00:14:14,880 --> 00:14:16,840 Speaker 1: I don't know, Like I look at you and I 240 00:14:16,840 --> 00:14:18,680 Speaker 1: think this is who he is. So if you're not 241 00:14:18,720 --> 00:14:22,320 Speaker 1: comfortable with his risks, then don't acquire him. Like when 242 00:14:22,360 --> 00:14:27,120 Speaker 1: you're making plays, do you have a off switch like Okay, okay, 243 00:14:27,200 --> 00:14:29,200 Speaker 1: turn the governor down here, this isn't gonna work. Or 244 00:14:29,200 --> 00:14:30,760 Speaker 1: are you just like you just in the moment, you're 245 00:14:30,760 --> 00:14:33,840 Speaker 1: gonna do what you're gonna do. An that your style? Yeah, 246 00:14:33,880 --> 00:14:35,800 Speaker 1: I mean it's a fine line, and you know it's 247 00:14:35,800 --> 00:14:38,960 Speaker 1: one I've I've wrestled with since the moment I walked 248 00:14:39,000 --> 00:14:41,320 Speaker 1: into that door in Philly. You know, I'll shoot, that's 249 00:14:41,320 --> 00:14:44,280 Speaker 1: how I played in college. It's you know, I try 250 00:14:44,360 --> 00:14:46,480 Speaker 1: not to get in my head or overthink things, so 251 00:14:46,520 --> 00:14:49,120 Speaker 1: I just you know, with what I see, whatever's there, 252 00:14:49,240 --> 00:14:51,240 Speaker 1: I let it rip. I pull the trigger. You know, 253 00:14:51,360 --> 00:14:53,520 Speaker 1: there's times, like plenty of times I come in and 254 00:14:53,560 --> 00:14:56,400 Speaker 1: watch film, either that night or Monday morning, I'm like, shoot, 255 00:14:56,440 --> 00:14:58,560 Speaker 1: that was dumb, and you get away with it. You 256 00:14:58,560 --> 00:15:01,520 Speaker 1: get away with it plenty. You know, you try and 257 00:15:01,640 --> 00:15:04,200 Speaker 1: just you know, with the positives outweigh the negatives and 258 00:15:04,440 --> 00:15:05,840 Speaker 1: hopefully you look up at the end of the day 259 00:15:05,880 --> 00:15:07,840 Speaker 1: and say, you know, there's some big plays to be 260 00:15:07,920 --> 00:15:09,760 Speaker 1: made here. So you never want to miss those. You 261 00:15:09,840 --> 00:15:11,760 Speaker 1: never want to miss the ability to extend to play 262 00:15:11,760 --> 00:15:14,560 Speaker 1: and find a guy open downfield or it really changed 263 00:15:14,600 --> 00:15:16,680 Speaker 1: the momentum of a game. But at the same time, 264 00:15:17,080 --> 00:15:18,760 Speaker 1: you gotta be smart. You gotta be smart and try 265 00:15:18,760 --> 00:15:20,640 Speaker 1: and limit those mistakes. And I think you know I've 266 00:15:21,000 --> 00:15:23,760 Speaker 1: I've gone up and down in my six year career 267 00:15:23,800 --> 00:15:26,160 Speaker 1: on that front, and I got to continue to learn, Okay, 268 00:15:26,160 --> 00:15:28,480 Speaker 1: when to say die, when to eat it, and when 269 00:15:28,480 --> 00:15:30,440 Speaker 1: those plays are there to be made to be aggressive. Well, 270 00:15:30,440 --> 00:15:33,840 Speaker 1: it's funny because when Jim Orsay freaked out and that 271 00:15:33,960 --> 00:15:37,120 Speaker 1: engineered all of it. Listen, everybody else in this league 272 00:15:37,120 --> 00:15:39,600 Speaker 1: flips burgers, as a GM once told me, the owners 273 00:15:39,640 --> 00:15:42,440 Speaker 1: make all the decisions. Right. You had twenty sevent t 274 00:15:42,600 --> 00:15:47,320 Speaker 1: d seven picks through for over four thousand yards yards 275 00:15:47,320 --> 00:15:50,600 Speaker 1: and had a ninety five quarterback rating. That is a 276 00:15:50,680 --> 00:15:54,680 Speaker 1: borderline Pro Bowl season. So then you know, the fit 277 00:15:54,800 --> 00:16:00,240 Speaker 1: hits the Shannon, Indianapolis and everybody's going crazy. So we 278 00:16:00,360 --> 00:16:02,640 Speaker 1: had said on my show, I said, I think he 279 00:16:02,640 --> 00:16:04,120 Speaker 1: fits here. I think he fits there. I think if 280 00:16:04,160 --> 00:16:07,120 Speaker 1: it's here, I believe you're the most talented quarterback now 281 00:16:07,160 --> 00:16:10,560 Speaker 1: in the NFC East. How do you just like, Okay, 282 00:16:10,560 --> 00:16:15,160 Speaker 1: Philly's done and he's done. How do you just like 283 00:16:15,360 --> 00:16:20,440 Speaker 1: lock in and not let that stuff, all that shrapnel, 284 00:16:20,480 --> 00:16:22,760 Speaker 1: How do you just not let it affect you Carson 285 00:16:22,880 --> 00:16:27,640 Speaker 1: at all? Yeah? I mean, for one, I got my faith, 286 00:16:27,800 --> 00:16:29,280 Speaker 1: you know, I got my faith, and that keeps me 287 00:16:29,360 --> 00:16:32,160 Speaker 1: rooted and grounded every day. You know, I got my 288 00:16:32,200 --> 00:16:35,400 Speaker 1: family that keeps supporting me, and you know is with 289 00:16:35,480 --> 00:16:38,040 Speaker 1: me whether you know, I throw five picks or five touchdowns. 290 00:16:38,080 --> 00:16:40,040 Speaker 1: They don't care. My little girls love me, but my 291 00:16:40,080 --> 00:16:42,760 Speaker 1: wife loves me. They support me. Um, and I just 292 00:16:42,800 --> 00:16:44,480 Speaker 1: try to do the best I can really for them. 293 00:16:45,320 --> 00:16:47,400 Speaker 1: And I don't I don't let you know what the 294 00:16:47,440 --> 00:16:50,440 Speaker 1: outside no noise says good, good or bad, you know, 295 00:16:50,600 --> 00:16:52,880 Speaker 1: kind of shape my outlook. I just try to make 296 00:16:52,920 --> 00:16:55,640 Speaker 1: the most of the opportunity to build positive relationship with guys. 297 00:16:57,440 --> 00:16:59,480 Speaker 1: Probably the most enjoyable part of this game is building 298 00:16:59,480 --> 00:17:02,480 Speaker 1: those relations ships and you know, finding new friendships everywhere 299 00:17:02,520 --> 00:17:05,719 Speaker 1: you go and building that chemistry on a team. And 300 00:17:05,760 --> 00:17:07,920 Speaker 1: so it's gonna be weird. You know, it was weird 301 00:17:07,960 --> 00:17:10,760 Speaker 1: the second I walked into to the commander's locker room. 302 00:17:10,840 --> 00:17:12,440 Speaker 1: You know, I was like, shoot, I didn't think i'd 303 00:17:12,440 --> 00:17:14,640 Speaker 1: be be here this quickly. You know, just a couple 304 00:17:14,640 --> 00:17:16,160 Speaker 1: of years ago, you know, I would have said you're 305 00:17:16,200 --> 00:17:19,480 Speaker 1: you're crazy for the way things unfolded, But um, it 306 00:17:19,520 --> 00:17:21,240 Speaker 1: is what it is. It's a crazy business. You learn 307 00:17:21,280 --> 00:17:22,760 Speaker 1: it real quick and you try and make the most 308 00:17:22,760 --> 00:17:25,080 Speaker 1: of it while you got it. Philadelphia is a great 309 00:17:25,080 --> 00:17:29,400 Speaker 1: sports town. They're a little surly, uh just I mean, 310 00:17:29,560 --> 00:17:33,440 Speaker 1: have you kind of like thought to yourself, it's gonna 311 00:17:33,480 --> 00:17:37,720 Speaker 1: be crazy going to that place because by the way, 312 00:17:38,359 --> 00:17:40,240 Speaker 1: you know, you did a lot of good things there. 313 00:17:40,280 --> 00:17:42,240 Speaker 1: You were on the way to an MVP season, you 314 00:17:42,320 --> 00:17:44,760 Speaker 1: got them home field advantage, So it's not one of 315 00:17:44,760 --> 00:17:47,439 Speaker 1: these we don't like Carson Wentz. You're gonna have some 316 00:17:47,520 --> 00:17:51,159 Speaker 1: people that support you. But you know, Philly's Philly like 317 00:17:51,240 --> 00:17:53,280 Speaker 1: and by the way you go, you go from North 318 00:17:53,359 --> 00:17:56,760 Speaker 1: Dakota State to the most outspoken sports city in America. 319 00:17:56,960 --> 00:18:00,320 Speaker 1: When you were in Philly, did you ever like on 320 00:18:00,359 --> 00:18:03,359 Speaker 1: the radio and just listen for an ten minutes to 321 00:18:03,400 --> 00:18:07,720 Speaker 1: sports talk radio in Philly? I did. I did early 322 00:18:07,760 --> 00:18:10,760 Speaker 1: in my career. Um, and it always gave me a 323 00:18:10,760 --> 00:18:13,639 Speaker 1: good laugh. You know, there was always something going on 324 00:18:13,800 --> 00:18:15,400 Speaker 1: and it didn't matter at the time of the day, 325 00:18:15,560 --> 00:18:19,760 Speaker 1: didn't matter what season it was. They're always talking about something, 326 00:18:19,960 --> 00:18:22,080 Speaker 1: you know, and Stern Stern the pot a little bit 327 00:18:22,520 --> 00:18:24,479 Speaker 1: um and that's just what they do. That's what they do. 328 00:18:24,560 --> 00:18:26,520 Speaker 1: And you know, my time there was a lot of fun. 329 00:18:26,680 --> 00:18:29,120 Speaker 1: It was a lot of fun and as passionate as 330 00:18:29,119 --> 00:18:31,600 Speaker 1: fans as you could, as you can imagine. So I 331 00:18:32,040 --> 00:18:34,480 Speaker 1: look forward to experiencing that passion on the other end 332 00:18:35,119 --> 00:18:36,920 Speaker 1: when I'm up there this uh this, what is it 333 00:18:36,960 --> 00:18:39,960 Speaker 1: Monday night football sometime in the middle of the season. Yeah, 334 00:18:39,960 --> 00:18:42,400 Speaker 1: that'll be and that'll be an adventure. I know that one. 335 00:18:42,760 --> 00:18:44,360 Speaker 1: I know a lot of people have that one circled 336 00:18:44,359 --> 00:18:46,960 Speaker 1: on their calendar. I'll be ready for It'll be fun. 337 00:18:47,200 --> 00:18:49,199 Speaker 1: Is it an advantage at all, Carson, that you've been 338 00:18:49,240 --> 00:18:52,080 Speaker 1: in the division? You know the stadiums, you know, you 339 00:18:52,119 --> 00:18:54,919 Speaker 1: know some of the personnel. It feels like to me, 340 00:18:55,040 --> 00:18:58,439 Speaker 1: it's kind of kind of a perfect place to go 341 00:18:58,480 --> 00:19:00,600 Speaker 1: back to. You've played against a lot of this division, 342 00:19:02,240 --> 00:19:05,680 Speaker 1: for sure. Yeah. I think. I think knowledge is an 343 00:19:05,760 --> 00:19:09,640 Speaker 1: understanding of teams and you know, everything is is definitely 344 00:19:10,000 --> 00:19:11,800 Speaker 1: something you can use to your advantage in this league. 345 00:19:11,840 --> 00:19:14,920 Speaker 1: You know, obviously there's coaching changes, there's scheme changes, there's 346 00:19:15,040 --> 00:19:17,800 Speaker 1: player turnover always, so things are going to look a 347 00:19:17,840 --> 00:19:20,520 Speaker 1: little bit different. But at the same time, there's a 348 00:19:20,560 --> 00:19:22,880 Speaker 1: lot of familiarity, a lot of familiarity, and I look 349 00:19:22,880 --> 00:19:25,439 Speaker 1: forward to kind of using that to my advantage and 350 00:19:25,640 --> 00:19:29,040 Speaker 1: continuing to just own, you know, everything I've learned from 351 00:19:29,080 --> 00:19:31,159 Speaker 1: my five years in Philly to last year in Indie 352 00:19:31,160 --> 00:19:33,360 Speaker 1: and the good and the bad, and how to kind 353 00:19:33,400 --> 00:19:36,879 Speaker 1: of just stay focused and stay you know, getting better 354 00:19:37,160 --> 00:19:40,200 Speaker 1: myself and making the guys around me better. But yeah, 355 00:19:40,240 --> 00:19:43,880 Speaker 1: I'm excited for it. Um there's three kind of quarterbacks 356 00:19:43,880 --> 00:19:51,240 Speaker 1: in the NFL franchise, backups and Bridges, And Troy Aikman 357 00:19:51,320 --> 00:19:53,520 Speaker 1: said something, and I thought it was fair, I said. 358 00:19:53,560 --> 00:19:55,440 Speaker 1: Troy said the other day he said, I think this 359 00:19:55,480 --> 00:19:58,560 Speaker 1: is his last shot to be in the franchise. He's 360 00:19:58,560 --> 00:20:01,160 Speaker 1: got the size, the arm, the talent. Do you view 361 00:20:01,200 --> 00:20:03,040 Speaker 1: it as like, hey man, this is it, Like I 362 00:20:03,200 --> 00:20:05,000 Speaker 1: gotta get it done. I can't go to Bridge. I 363 00:20:05,000 --> 00:20:07,000 Speaker 1: don't I'm not a backed up. Do you feel like 364 00:20:07,040 --> 00:20:10,879 Speaker 1: this is it? Yeah? I mean I understand it from 365 00:20:10,880 --> 00:20:13,120 Speaker 1: the outside world, you know, and I understand it from 366 00:20:14,200 --> 00:20:17,560 Speaker 1: from everyone's perspective that they can call it that, call 367 00:20:17,600 --> 00:20:19,680 Speaker 1: it that, But for me, it's you know, I try 368 00:20:19,720 --> 00:20:22,720 Speaker 1: to not put that much pressure on myself. You know, 369 00:20:22,760 --> 00:20:25,159 Speaker 1: I'm extremely confident in what I can do and what 370 00:20:25,200 --> 00:20:26,600 Speaker 1: I can bring to a team and how I can 371 00:20:26,600 --> 00:20:29,639 Speaker 1: help elevate those around me. And so call it what 372 00:20:29,720 --> 00:20:31,560 Speaker 1: you want, call me what you want. At the end 373 00:20:31,560 --> 00:20:33,159 Speaker 1: of the day, I don't really care. I'm gonna go 374 00:20:33,160 --> 00:20:35,680 Speaker 1: out and hopefully, hopefully play well and get my team 375 00:20:35,680 --> 00:20:37,480 Speaker 1: in a position to win and win a lot of games. 376 00:20:37,520 --> 00:20:42,160 Speaker 1: You know, Kirk Cousins, Derek Carr, yourself, Russell Wilson, your 377 00:20:42,200 --> 00:20:49,120 Speaker 1: guys with deep religious conviction and faith, and Russell's let 378 00:20:49,160 --> 00:20:51,879 Speaker 1: you know about it. Some guys do, some guys don't. 379 00:20:52,920 --> 00:20:57,560 Speaker 1: Through the years, I've heard people not really a criticism, 380 00:20:57,600 --> 00:21:01,520 Speaker 1: but you know, some guys aren't as cool with it. 381 00:21:01,600 --> 00:21:07,320 Speaker 1: Some guys are because you are known, like Russell Wilson, 382 00:21:08,000 --> 00:21:11,359 Speaker 1: Kirk Cousins, car m. How do you share it? If 383 00:21:11,359 --> 00:21:14,160 Speaker 1: I could ask, how do you I mean, um, yeah, 384 00:21:14,160 --> 00:21:15,520 Speaker 1: you tell me. How do you share it in the 385 00:21:15,520 --> 00:21:19,040 Speaker 1: locker room? Yeah? That's a great question. And it's a 386 00:21:19,080 --> 00:21:23,320 Speaker 1: fine line because you know, you're confident and passionate, you 387 00:21:23,359 --> 00:21:25,560 Speaker 1: know about your beliefs and what you believe in and 388 00:21:25,920 --> 00:21:27,719 Speaker 1: what the Bible says and what the Word says, and 389 00:21:28,600 --> 00:21:31,359 Speaker 1: what Jesus kind of you know, challenges us to do 390 00:21:31,400 --> 00:21:32,960 Speaker 1: with the great commission, you know, go and tell the 391 00:21:33,000 --> 00:21:36,080 Speaker 1: world about him. But at the same time, you got 392 00:21:36,080 --> 00:21:38,560 Speaker 1: to do it with with love, with grace, and um, 393 00:21:38,640 --> 00:21:40,320 Speaker 1: you got to walk it too, you know, you got 394 00:21:40,320 --> 00:21:42,400 Speaker 1: to show people you love them and care about them 395 00:21:42,440 --> 00:21:44,680 Speaker 1: and build relationships and all of those things. And so 396 00:21:45,720 --> 00:21:48,280 Speaker 1: that's a learning curve in itself, you know, because I'm 397 00:21:48,320 --> 00:21:50,720 Speaker 1: you know, I think anybody that's passionate about whatever the 398 00:21:50,800 --> 00:21:52,440 Speaker 1: heck it is, they want to talk about it. You know, 399 00:21:52,480 --> 00:21:54,359 Speaker 1: they want to talk about it. And you know, I'm 400 00:21:54,400 --> 00:21:56,320 Speaker 1: sure you're passionate about sports, so you go on TV 401 00:21:56,440 --> 00:21:58,560 Speaker 1: and you talk all the time about sports. So things 402 00:21:58,600 --> 00:22:00,560 Speaker 1: you're passionate about you want to talk about. But at 403 00:22:00,560 --> 00:22:02,760 Speaker 1: the same time, um, you have to have respect for 404 00:22:02,800 --> 00:22:06,000 Speaker 1: people's beliefs and opinions and uh just kind of show 405 00:22:06,080 --> 00:22:09,200 Speaker 1: them who you are by being around them and showing 406 00:22:09,240 --> 00:22:12,040 Speaker 1: them your character and what you stand for. And when 407 00:22:12,080 --> 00:22:14,440 Speaker 1: the time is right, um, you know, you share your faith. 408 00:22:14,440 --> 00:22:16,879 Speaker 1: But again everyone knows kind of what I stand for. 409 00:22:17,000 --> 00:22:20,119 Speaker 1: What my wife stands for in our family, and you know, 410 00:22:20,160 --> 00:22:22,520 Speaker 1: we're always open and up to kind of you know, 411 00:22:22,560 --> 00:22:25,040 Speaker 1: having those conversations, but we're not going to force it, 412 00:22:25,240 --> 00:22:28,080 Speaker 1: you know, upon anybody. But um, it's definitely it's a 413 00:22:28,160 --> 00:22:30,679 Speaker 1: fun kind of locker room conversation to have with some 414 00:22:30,760 --> 00:22:34,360 Speaker 1: guys because you've got guys of all different faiths, backgrounds, 415 00:22:34,480 --> 00:22:37,040 Speaker 1: you know, you know, journeys in their in their own 416 00:22:37,160 --> 00:22:39,960 Speaker 1: Christian walk, all of those things. And that's what I think. 417 00:22:39,960 --> 00:22:41,520 Speaker 1: It's so cool to go to work every day because 418 00:22:41,520 --> 00:22:44,000 Speaker 1: you've got people with kids and families, you've got single 419 00:22:44,000 --> 00:22:46,160 Speaker 1: guys that are going out every night. You got everybody 420 00:22:46,160 --> 00:22:49,720 Speaker 1: in between with different viewpoints, coming from different upbringings all 421 00:22:49,760 --> 00:22:52,399 Speaker 1: of that. So that's what makes it fun. It's I 422 00:22:52,480 --> 00:22:54,480 Speaker 1: heard a story one time, I don't know if this 423 00:22:54,560 --> 00:22:57,360 Speaker 1: is true or not, that you were hunting in New 424 00:22:57,440 --> 00:22:59,400 Speaker 1: Jersey or something, and I'm like, where do you hunt 425 00:22:59,400 --> 00:23:01,760 Speaker 1: in New Jersey? And when you were an eagle? And 426 00:23:01,800 --> 00:23:04,720 Speaker 1: I thought, God, that poor country kid, he's in these cities. 427 00:23:04,720 --> 00:23:06,960 Speaker 1: He probably just wants a he just wants ducks and 428 00:23:07,080 --> 00:23:09,200 Speaker 1: a duck blind and he go he wants to take 429 00:23:09,240 --> 00:23:12,080 Speaker 1: his you know, his cap and his camouflage. Do you 430 00:23:12,080 --> 00:23:15,480 Speaker 1: ever feel you've gone Philadelphia now you're back in Washington, 431 00:23:15,520 --> 00:23:18,399 Speaker 1: these big urban environments. Do you ever think to yourself, 432 00:23:18,440 --> 00:23:20,520 Speaker 1: you know, I probably should be like a packer quarterback. 433 00:23:20,560 --> 00:23:22,439 Speaker 1: I should be I should be out in there. I 434 00:23:22,480 --> 00:23:27,320 Speaker 1: mean it's like, are you comfortable as a big city kid? Yeah, 435 00:23:27,359 --> 00:23:30,120 Speaker 1: I mean, I'll say this. You know, we're not in 436 00:23:30,200 --> 00:23:32,760 Speaker 1: the heart of DC, so we're not. It's crazy. And 437 00:23:32,800 --> 00:23:35,080 Speaker 1: I think for for me now, you know, when I 438 00:23:35,160 --> 00:23:38,879 Speaker 1: was younger, I was you know, by myself, living by myself, 439 00:23:38,920 --> 00:23:42,240 Speaker 1: you know, hunting all that stuff. Having kids and a wife, 440 00:23:42,240 --> 00:23:45,120 Speaker 1: things change, you know, and your free time isn't devoted 441 00:23:45,119 --> 00:23:47,080 Speaker 1: to hunting all the time. You come home and you're 442 00:23:47,400 --> 00:23:49,960 Speaker 1: entertaining your two year old or whatever. So the things 443 00:23:50,000 --> 00:23:52,240 Speaker 1: you look for and the things you desire definitely change, 444 00:23:52,400 --> 00:23:56,359 Speaker 1: you know. And but yeah, I think we've we've already 445 00:23:56,440 --> 00:23:58,439 Speaker 1: learned this area. We're big foodies, you know, we like 446 00:23:58,520 --> 00:24:00,480 Speaker 1: going to coffee shops, we like going to parks with 447 00:24:00,880 --> 00:24:03,920 Speaker 1: our kids and biking and doing different things. And so 448 00:24:04,080 --> 00:24:06,880 Speaker 1: that's that's definitely fit us well here already. I've been 449 00:24:06,920 --> 00:24:09,440 Speaker 1: pleasantly surprised with that out here in this Virginia area, 450 00:24:09,440 --> 00:24:11,680 Speaker 1: all the things to do. Yeah, but yeah, I've definitely 451 00:24:11,720 --> 00:24:14,160 Speaker 1: thought about that, definitely thought about that. And I always find, 452 00:24:14,400 --> 00:24:16,439 Speaker 1: like you said, whether whether it was in New Jersey 453 00:24:16,480 --> 00:24:18,240 Speaker 1: out here, I'll find a way to get to the 454 00:24:18,240 --> 00:24:21,000 Speaker 1: woods and kind of decompress and use that to kind 455 00:24:21,000 --> 00:24:23,400 Speaker 1: of keep me going. But uh, you know, that's not 456 00:24:23,480 --> 00:24:25,840 Speaker 1: always the number one priority, even though my wife might 457 00:24:25,920 --> 00:24:29,040 Speaker 1: argue with you sometimes every now and then I get 458 00:24:29,080 --> 00:24:32,120 Speaker 1: out there, but not quite as much of a priority 459 00:24:32,119 --> 00:24:33,840 Speaker 1: as it used to be. Is it hard for her 460 00:24:34,080 --> 00:24:38,760 Speaker 1: when you get criticized. I think it was. I think 461 00:24:38,760 --> 00:24:41,399 Speaker 1: it was initially, but I think we've both kind of 462 00:24:41,440 --> 00:24:43,760 Speaker 1: learned to just block it out and just accept it. 463 00:24:43,800 --> 00:24:46,280 Speaker 1: You know, it's as part of this business, as part 464 00:24:46,280 --> 00:24:48,399 Speaker 1: of this life that you know, when we got married 465 00:24:48,520 --> 00:24:51,080 Speaker 1: and you know, first started dating that I don't think 466 00:24:51,080 --> 00:24:54,720 Speaker 1: she fully understood some of those things. But now it's, 467 00:24:54,760 --> 00:24:57,159 Speaker 1: you know, she knows and here's things. But at the 468 00:24:57,200 --> 00:24:58,800 Speaker 1: same time, it's it's a lot like me. You know, 469 00:24:58,840 --> 00:25:01,160 Speaker 1: we're not out there listening to things our TV. If 470 00:25:01,160 --> 00:25:03,040 Speaker 1: our TV's on, I put it on the golf channel 471 00:25:03,119 --> 00:25:05,080 Speaker 1: or the outdoor channel. You know, we don't We're not 472 00:25:05,200 --> 00:25:08,840 Speaker 1: listening to things, they're watching things, and so usually we 473 00:25:08,920 --> 00:25:12,560 Speaker 1: hear it through other people. But she's awesome. She supports 474 00:25:12,600 --> 00:25:15,680 Speaker 1: me and is always, you know, my number one fan, 475 00:25:15,760 --> 00:25:18,159 Speaker 1: and so that that really is the best thing. But 476 00:25:18,200 --> 00:25:20,200 Speaker 1: I think she's learned to navigate it as well, quite 477 00:25:20,200 --> 00:25:22,520 Speaker 1: a bit, much like like I have, and just say, hey, 478 00:25:22,520 --> 00:25:25,040 Speaker 1: it's just a part of it. Okay, third year, you're 479 00:25:25,080 --> 00:25:30,159 Speaker 1: gonna be on your third offense. How long before Carson 480 00:25:30,200 --> 00:25:32,119 Speaker 1: you don't even have to think about it. It's wrote, 481 00:25:32,240 --> 00:25:35,320 Speaker 1: it's memorized. You're just I mean, because everybody's faster when 482 00:25:35,320 --> 00:25:39,040 Speaker 1: they're not thinking. So how long for you to dive 483 00:25:39,080 --> 00:25:42,080 Speaker 1: into that playbook before you feel like your second or 484 00:25:42,080 --> 00:25:45,960 Speaker 1: third year in Philly? Yeah, I mean, it'll take time. 485 00:25:46,080 --> 00:25:49,600 Speaker 1: It'll definitely take time. And already i'd say the first 486 00:25:49,640 --> 00:25:52,000 Speaker 1: couple of weeks I was like, holy smokes, here we 487 00:25:52,000 --> 00:25:54,920 Speaker 1: go again. You know. But at the same time, that's 488 00:25:54,920 --> 00:25:56,840 Speaker 1: why you have practices. That's why you have practices, That's 489 00:25:56,840 --> 00:25:58,520 Speaker 1: why I have walked through. That's why you have you know, 490 00:25:58,600 --> 00:26:01,439 Speaker 1: thankfully this year we have offseason that we can actually 491 00:26:01,440 --> 00:26:03,920 Speaker 1: get together and you know, you're no longer stressing about 492 00:26:04,440 --> 00:26:07,080 Speaker 1: COVID protocols and all those things right now, so you 493 00:26:07,080 --> 00:26:08,880 Speaker 1: can get together and get around the guys and get 494 00:26:08,920 --> 00:26:12,280 Speaker 1: those meetings in those walk throughs and practice and that's 495 00:26:12,320 --> 00:26:15,240 Speaker 1: going well. Honestly, it's going well. And once you learn 496 00:26:15,280 --> 00:26:18,280 Speaker 1: the language, I mean, the schemes, football's football. You know 497 00:26:18,320 --> 00:26:21,080 Speaker 1: the schemes, the scheme, and you know there's little intricacies 498 00:26:21,080 --> 00:26:24,439 Speaker 1: and nuances within each offense and little things and you know, 499 00:26:24,560 --> 00:26:26,800 Speaker 1: how do I flip the protection or what's the protection 500 00:26:26,840 --> 00:26:28,919 Speaker 1: call in this look? All of those things that I 501 00:26:28,960 --> 00:26:31,120 Speaker 1: got to continue to learn. But at the same time, 502 00:26:31,160 --> 00:26:33,000 Speaker 1: there's a lot of smart guys on offense around me 503 00:26:33,880 --> 00:26:35,840 Speaker 1: that do a good job. And so you know, so 504 00:26:35,880 --> 00:26:38,159 Speaker 1: far it's going well. But I know means that I 505 00:26:38,160 --> 00:26:40,560 Speaker 1: have it down like the back of my hand quite yet. 506 00:26:40,560 --> 00:26:42,840 Speaker 1: That's going to take some time. But that's also something 507 00:26:42,880 --> 00:26:44,919 Speaker 1: I enjoy, and I enjoy kind of diving in and 508 00:26:44,960 --> 00:26:48,199 Speaker 1: trying to learn all the details of things and trying 509 00:26:48,280 --> 00:26:49,920 Speaker 1: to get it down like the back of my hand. 510 00:26:49,960 --> 00:26:52,119 Speaker 1: But it will take some time, I'm sure sure sometime 511 00:26:52,200 --> 00:26:53,680 Speaker 1: in training camp, once I've had a lot of those 512 00:26:53,680 --> 00:26:55,800 Speaker 1: practices under my belt, it'll start to kind of feel 513 00:26:55,840 --> 00:26:58,880 Speaker 1: that way, you know, I made this comment on the air, 514 00:26:58,960 --> 00:27:02,200 Speaker 1: I said, if Derek Carr doesn't make the best throw 515 00:27:02,240 --> 00:27:04,479 Speaker 1: of his career to Hunter Renfrow, and it was just 516 00:27:04,520 --> 00:27:08,000 Speaker 1: a it was a great throw. And I said, and 517 00:27:08,080 --> 00:27:09,960 Speaker 1: I loved Derek, and I said, that's the best thro 518 00:27:10,040 --> 00:27:12,800 Speaker 1: I've ever seen him make. And I said, if he 519 00:27:12,840 --> 00:27:16,840 Speaker 1: doesn't make that throw the culture in the playoffs, you're 520 00:27:16,880 --> 00:27:20,040 Speaker 1: a coult. I mean, have you ever thought about like, 521 00:27:20,200 --> 00:27:23,160 Speaker 1: that's that's how close this game is, Carson. It's literally 522 00:27:23,560 --> 00:27:27,800 Speaker 1: it's this he put it into a little tiny envelope. 523 00:27:28,320 --> 00:27:31,320 Speaker 1: I don't know if you remember that throw. It was 524 00:27:31,600 --> 00:27:35,480 Speaker 1: just a great NFL quarterback throw. But have you ever thought, man, 525 00:27:35,560 --> 00:27:39,240 Speaker 1: my whole life would be different if Derek could fit 526 00:27:39,320 --> 00:27:43,680 Speaker 1: it into a space. Oh yeah, There's always those things 527 00:27:43,840 --> 00:27:45,560 Speaker 1: within the year. I mean, you can think back to 528 00:27:45,760 --> 00:27:47,359 Speaker 1: a couple of years ago, Well if I've done this 529 00:27:47,400 --> 00:27:50,320 Speaker 1: differently in Philly or all those things. But at the 530 00:27:50,320 --> 00:27:52,520 Speaker 1: same time, that's where kind of like what we talked 531 00:27:52,520 --> 00:27:55,080 Speaker 1: about earlier is my faith and just trusting, you know, 532 00:27:55,119 --> 00:27:57,440 Speaker 1: there's a plan. I don't know fully what God's plan 533 00:27:57,560 --> 00:27:59,280 Speaker 1: is for me, but I'm going to try and be obedient, 534 00:28:00,680 --> 00:28:02,600 Speaker 1: you know, make the most of it, no matter what 535 00:28:02,640 --> 00:28:04,480 Speaker 1: it is. But yeah, you always think of those things. 536 00:28:04,480 --> 00:28:06,920 Speaker 1: And like you said, that throw was unbelievable. Watching it 537 00:28:07,000 --> 00:28:10,879 Speaker 1: from the sideline was very demoralizing obviously in the moment 538 00:28:10,920 --> 00:28:13,919 Speaker 1: in that situation, but unbelievable throw. And yeah, you can 539 00:28:13,960 --> 00:28:15,679 Speaker 1: look back on all those things. You know, if I 540 00:28:15,680 --> 00:28:18,240 Speaker 1: wouldn't have you fumbled the first drive of that opening 541 00:28:18,800 --> 00:28:22,000 Speaker 1: opening drive in the second half against the Jags, you know, 542 00:28:22,040 --> 00:28:23,919 Speaker 1: what if we went down and score. What if you know, 543 00:28:23,920 --> 00:28:25,400 Speaker 1: a little things? What if I put the ball away 544 00:28:25,480 --> 00:28:28,720 Speaker 1: and we just ate that sack and ended up converting 545 00:28:28,720 --> 00:28:30,720 Speaker 1: a third down? And who the heck knows. You know, 546 00:28:30,760 --> 00:28:33,320 Speaker 1: you play all those what if games your whole life, 547 00:28:33,320 --> 00:28:36,760 Speaker 1: and you look back and say, well, shoot, try and 548 00:28:36,760 --> 00:28:38,200 Speaker 1: make the most of it the next time. But yeah, 549 00:28:38,200 --> 00:28:40,840 Speaker 1: there's there's always those little things that you're like that 550 00:28:41,000 --> 00:28:43,320 Speaker 1: one play. If it went the other way, we might 551 00:28:43,360 --> 00:28:45,240 Speaker 1: be sitting in India right now, we might be things 552 00:28:45,280 --> 00:28:47,440 Speaker 1: might look different, but hey, we're here for a reason 553 00:28:47,480 --> 00:28:50,160 Speaker 1: and we're going to make the most of it. This 554 00:28:50,200 --> 00:28:53,160 Speaker 1: week's Golden Metal Performance goes to one of my favorite 555 00:28:53,240 --> 00:28:57,440 Speaker 1: ascending NBA superstars, Jason Tatum and the Celtics.

You 570 00:29:52,560 --> 00:29:55,520 Speaker 1: know you're probably the biggest kid in your high school league. 571 00:29:55,840 --> 00:30:00,880 Speaker 1: You're obviously very physically imposing at an FCS level, and 572 00:30:01,000 --> 00:30:04,360 Speaker 1: when you walk into the NFL. I can remember watching 573 00:30:04,360 --> 00:30:07,000 Speaker 1: you in your first year is thinking, man, he's a 574 00:30:07,200 --> 00:30:09,400 Speaker 1: Cam Newton big band. Some of you guys are just 575 00:30:09,480 --> 00:30:12,240 Speaker 1: bigger than quarterbacks. Historically, I've been even now when I 576 00:30:12,240 --> 00:30:14,960 Speaker 1: look at you, you look like a tight end. Has 577 00:30:15,000 --> 00:30:18,160 Speaker 1: there been a moment you go back to your first 578 00:30:18,240 --> 00:30:20,480 Speaker 1: year and you know you ran over guys in high school. 579 00:30:20,720 --> 00:30:23,480 Speaker 1: You may ran over guys in college. Was there a 580 00:30:23,520 --> 00:30:26,719 Speaker 1: moment your first year you're like, this is a little 581 00:30:26,800 --> 00:30:29,600 Speaker 1: different the way they hit because you're so big, you 582 00:30:29,640 --> 00:30:32,960 Speaker 1: have so much confidence, you'd probably never been tagged, like 583 00:30:33,200 --> 00:30:38,200 Speaker 1: really tagged before. Yeah, yeah, I would say. I mean 584 00:30:38,240 --> 00:30:42,000 Speaker 1: I remember playing the Panthers. It would have been my 585 00:30:42,080 --> 00:30:44,880 Speaker 1: second year. I think it was my second year. My 586 00:30:44,920 --> 00:30:46,320 Speaker 1: first year, you know, I was just a kid trying 587 00:30:46,320 --> 00:30:47,880 Speaker 1: to figure out what that was going on, you know, 588 00:30:48,480 --> 00:30:50,920 Speaker 1: just run around, trying to make plays and keep your 589 00:30:50,920 --> 00:30:52,800 Speaker 1: head above water, all those things. I think my second 590 00:30:52,880 --> 00:30:55,320 Speaker 1: year I lowered my shoulder on the goal line against 591 00:30:55,360 --> 00:30:58,400 Speaker 1: the Panthers. Is I forget one of their dbs and 592 00:30:58,480 --> 00:31:00,479 Speaker 1: I'm like, I got this, this is touch down him 593 00:31:00,840 --> 00:31:04,080 Speaker 1: kind of was like a stand up stand still. Nobody won, 594 00:31:04,360 --> 00:31:06,200 Speaker 1: and then a d lineman came and pushed me back, 595 00:31:06,240 --> 00:31:08,760 Speaker 1: and I'm like, I can't even run over dbs at 596 00:31:08,800 --> 00:31:11,160 Speaker 1: this level, like the heck. And so I got a 597 00:31:11,160 --> 00:31:13,360 Speaker 1: lot of crap from my teammates like, what are you doing? Like, 598 00:31:13,720 --> 00:31:15,360 Speaker 1: you're you're done. I'm trying to run o people, You're 599 00:31:15,360 --> 00:31:17,480 Speaker 1: done trying to do that. So I think I learned 600 00:31:17,480 --> 00:31:20,400 Speaker 1: my lesson in that game. But um, yeah, things are different. 601 00:31:20,400 --> 00:31:23,600 Speaker 1: It's definitely a different level. But uh yeah, you gotta learn. 602 00:31:23,680 --> 00:31:25,640 Speaker 1: You got to you gotta learn those things. And you 603 00:31:25,680 --> 00:31:28,040 Speaker 1: know you're better from him. You have I think one 604 00:31:28,040 --> 00:31:30,640 Speaker 1: of the better receivers in the league, Terry McLaurin and 605 00:31:30,960 --> 00:31:33,800 Speaker 1: and um I watched him at college at Ohio State. 606 00:31:34,480 --> 00:31:36,520 Speaker 1: He's one of those guys that's almost a better pro 607 00:31:36,880 --> 00:31:40,040 Speaker 1: than a college receiver. Um, have you worked with him? 608 00:31:40,040 --> 00:31:42,800 Speaker 1: Talk with him? What do you know about him? Yeah, 609 00:31:42,880 --> 00:31:45,480 Speaker 1: talk to him quite a bit. Uh, you know, been 610 00:31:45,520 --> 00:31:47,640 Speaker 1: around him already into facility a helpful of times and 611 00:31:47,880 --> 00:31:51,160 Speaker 1: worked with him. Um, great, dude, you know, I mean 612 00:31:51,240 --> 00:31:53,959 Speaker 1: everybody in that in that facility just arrays about who 613 00:31:54,000 --> 00:31:56,240 Speaker 1: he is as a guy, um, and how he prepares 614 00:31:56,280 --> 00:31:58,680 Speaker 1: and his work ethic and all of those things and 615 00:31:58,800 --> 00:32:01,000 Speaker 1: kind of leadership that he that he brings to that 616 00:32:01,240 --> 00:32:05,160 Speaker 1: kind of young receiving room. But he can play. He 617 00:32:05,160 --> 00:32:08,120 Speaker 1: can play. And I remember his rookie year when we 618 00:32:08,160 --> 00:32:11,120 Speaker 1: came here, I think he took like a slant and 619 00:32:11,160 --> 00:32:12,960 Speaker 1: win like eighty on us and I was on the 620 00:32:12,960 --> 00:32:14,760 Speaker 1: other sideline. I think after the game, I said, boy, 621 00:32:14,760 --> 00:32:16,960 Speaker 1: I'd love to throw you the ball. Never would have 622 00:32:17,000 --> 00:32:19,520 Speaker 1: imagined it unfold like this just a couple of years later. 623 00:32:19,560 --> 00:32:21,880 Speaker 1: But um, it's kind of funny to look back on 624 00:32:22,280 --> 00:32:25,240 Speaker 1: kind of that moment in that game and now obviously 625 00:32:25,320 --> 00:32:27,280 Speaker 1: put on the tape and see what he's been doing 626 00:32:27,320 --> 00:32:29,560 Speaker 1: the last couple of years. It's pretty remarkable. So I 627 00:32:29,600 --> 00:32:31,600 Speaker 1: think all has some fun together. So you've been you've 628 00:32:31,600 --> 00:32:33,719 Speaker 1: had injuries in your career, You've been beat up by 629 00:32:33,720 --> 00:32:37,080 Speaker 1: the press. Do you how do you decompress? What do you? 630 00:32:37,120 --> 00:32:38,760 Speaker 1: Are you going to take a two three week period 631 00:32:38,760 --> 00:32:41,600 Speaker 1: with your family? I mean I just got back from Italy. 632 00:32:41,680 --> 00:32:44,080 Speaker 1: Get on a plane, go somewhere far and what do 633 00:32:44,160 --> 00:32:49,240 Speaker 1: you how do you decompress? Get away from us everything? Yeah, 634 00:32:49,280 --> 00:32:52,120 Speaker 1: I mean we've talked about it already. I love getting 635 00:32:52,120 --> 00:32:55,680 Speaker 1: in the outdoors, but now having two little girls, just 636 00:32:55,840 --> 00:32:58,000 Speaker 1: honestly being home with them is a lot of fun. 637 00:32:58,280 --> 00:33:03,360 Speaker 1: I've recently gotten Uh, last offseason, got into golf pretty bad. 638 00:33:03,400 --> 00:33:05,440 Speaker 1: I got the golf bug. I was able to put 639 00:33:05,480 --> 00:33:07,200 Speaker 1: that one off for for a good while, but now 640 00:33:07,280 --> 00:33:09,239 Speaker 1: I got it.

Um, but golfing, hunting time with my family 642 00:33:14,120 --> 00:33:16,160 Speaker 1: is honestly the best thing when the season ends.
