00:01:41,908 --> 00:01:45,388
Speaker 3: by Noble the defensive line and those linebackers. The drills

35
00:01:45,428 --> 00:01:48,668
Speaker 3: start three pm Eastern, So make sure you have NFL

36
00:01:48,708 --> 00:01:51,068
Speaker 3: network on or you're streaming on NFL Plus.

37
00:01:51,228 --> 00:01:52,988
Speaker 2: I know Tom Pallisero will.

38
00:01:52,788 --> 00:01:55,388
Speaker 3: Be doing that because he joined us already this morning

39
00:01:55,548 --> 00:01:59,068
Speaker 3: and I feel like he's had eighty seven gallons of coffee.

40
00:01:59,148 --> 00:02:01,468
Speaker 3: So why don't you tell us some updates?

41
00:02:01,468 --> 00:02:03,508
Speaker 2: How's it going out there? What's happening?

42
00:02:03,548 --> 00:02:05,188
Speaker 3: I know that no one is really there in the

43
00:02:05,228 --> 00:02:07,188
Speaker 3: stadium yet you've beat them all there, but it's nice

44
00:02:07,188 --> 00:02:08,428
Speaker 3: that you did a location scout.

45
00:02:10,308 --> 00:02:13,668
Speaker 6: Did there are people in the stadium calling the NFL teams,

46
00:02:13,668 --> 00:02:15,588
Speaker 6: some of the scouts and coaches up here. There's some

47
00:02:15,628 --> 00:02:18,468
Speaker 6: formal and informal interviews happening with some of the prospects.

48
00:02:18,628 --> 00:02:21,108
Speaker 6: That starts early in the morning and it goes until

49
00:02:21,268 --> 00:02:24,428
Speaker 6: late at night, literally seven am to eleven pm, with

50
00:02:24,508 --> 00:02:27,588
Speaker 6: a few breaks in between. Here everybody around the NFL

51
00:02:27,828 --> 00:02:30,708
Speaker 6: is working in various capacities, not just here inside Lucas

52
00:02:30,748 --> 00:02:34,828
Speaker 6: Oil Stadium, but around the city of Indianapolis. Today, though,

53
00:02:35,028 --> 00:02:37,228
Speaker 6: we finally get to the action that everybody wants to see,

54
00:02:37,228 --> 00:02:40,228
Speaker 6: which is the drills out here on the field. Defensive

55
00:02:40,268 --> 00:02:43,108
Speaker 6: linemen and linebackers are going to be working out this

56
00:02:43,188 --> 00:02:46,348
Speaker 6: afternoon into the evening coverage starting at three pm Eastern

57
00:02:46,388 --> 00:02:48,028
Speaker 6: time on NFL Networks.

58
00:02:48,028 --> 00:02:49,108
Speaker 7: You're going to see.

59
00:02:48,868 --> 00:02:52,668
Speaker 6: Guys like Dallas Turner and Job Robinson and Jared Verse,

60
00:02:52,668 --> 00:02:54,828
Speaker 6: some of those top prospects we're going to see as

61
00:02:54,908 --> 00:02:57,308
Speaker 6: likely first round picks. They're going to be working out

62
00:02:57,308 --> 00:03:00,068
Speaker 6: here on the field. Meanwhile, some of the other position

63
00:03:00,108 --> 00:03:02,508
Speaker 6: groups in various phases. There's a lot of different things

64
00:03:02,508 --> 00:03:05,508
Speaker 6: that happens over several days here. So the quarterbacks, today

65
00:03:05,588 --> 00:03:08,988
Speaker 6: is the day that they go through the extensive medical testing.

66
00:03:09,228 --> 00:03:11,668
Speaker 6: For guys like Michael Pennock Junior, who has an extensive

67
00:03:11,708 --> 00:03:14,668
Speaker 6: injury history going back to his days at Indiana that

68
00:03:14,788 --> 00:03:17,388
Speaker 6: is going to be a really big part of this process.

69
00:03:17,388 --> 00:03:20,588
Speaker 5: Guest, as you started to talk about the quarterbacks and

70
00:03:20,628 --> 00:03:23,388
Speaker 5: you mentioned Michael Pennox, I'll always go to Caleb Williams

71
00:03:23,428 --> 00:03:25,068
Speaker 5: and he's at the combine. He's going to be there.

72
00:03:25,228 --> 00:03:27,628
Speaker 5: We know he's not going to work out, but certainly

73
00:03:27,828 --> 00:03:29,788
Speaker 5: he has to be busy. What's on the agenda for

74
00:03:30,108 --> 00:03:31,748
Speaker 5: him and what can you tell us about it?

75
00:03:33,628 --> 00:03:36,708
Speaker 6: Well, Jason, Caleb Williams is on his own program here

76
00:03:36,748 --> 00:03:40,228
Speaker 6: at the NFL scouting combine. He got into town on Wednesday,

77
00:03:40,308 --> 00:03:43,028
Speaker 6: not Tuesday with the rest of the quarterbacks. As you mentioned,

78
00:03:43,068 --> 00:03:45,268
Speaker 6: he's not going to throw, he's not going to test,

79
00:03:45,468 --> 00:03:46,908
Speaker 6: he's not going to run a ford, he's not even

80
00:03:46,948 --> 00:03:49,228
Speaker 6: going to go through the medical testing, which you're talking

81
00:03:49,228 --> 00:03:51,988
Speaker 6: with a lot of veteran NFL scouts. They can't really

82
00:03:52,028 --> 00:03:54,828
Speaker 6: remember a prospect who flat out said I'm not going

83
00:03:54,868 --> 00:03:57,028
Speaker 6: to go through the medical But the theory from Caleb

84
00:03:57,028 --> 00:03:59,588
Speaker 6: Williams end is there's really well one team at the

85
00:03:59,588 --> 00:04:01,588
Speaker 6: top of the draft, the Bears, who control everything, really

86
00:04:01,668 --> 00:04:04,148
Speaker 6: only a few others that maybe could trade up and

87
00:04:04,188 --> 00:04:05,948
Speaker 6: get him. So why am I going to give my

88
00:04:05,948 --> 00:04:09,268
Speaker 6: private medical information to all thirty two teams here. What

89
00:04:09,428 --> 00:04:11,868
Speaker 6: Caleb Williams is doing here at the combine is meeting

90
00:04:11,948 --> 00:04:13,348
Speaker 6: with a bunch of these teams. A lot of those

91
00:04:13,348 --> 00:04:15,788
Speaker 6: meetings happened last night. It's with the Bears who are

92
00:04:15,788 --> 00:04:17,708
Speaker 6: at one. It's with the Commanders who are at two.

93
00:04:17,988 --> 00:04:20,068
Speaker 6: It's with the Patriots who are at three, and some

94
00:04:20,148 --> 00:04:23,468
Speaker 6: of those other teams that potentially could trade up. Also

95
00:04:23,508 --> 00:04:26,788
Speaker 6: meeting with Kayleb Williams, among the other top quarterback prosspects,

96
00:04:26,868 --> 00:04:28,948
Speaker 6: Drake May, Jade Daniels. They all have kind of the

97
00:04:28,948 --> 00:04:31,388
Speaker 6: same interview list. It is those top three teams, but

98
00:04:31,468 --> 00:04:33,908
Speaker 6: then it's the Giants who are sitting there at six.

99
00:04:34,028 --> 00:04:37,068
Speaker 6: It's the Falcons at eight, it's the Vikings at eleven.

100
00:04:37,108 --> 00:04:38,628
Speaker 6: Even the Raiders, who would have to go a long

101
00:04:38,668 --> 00:04:41,668
Speaker 6: way to get any of these quarterbacks, they're interviewing them

102
00:04:41,868 --> 00:04:44,548
Speaker 6: as well. Today for the quarterbacks, again, a lot of

103
00:04:44,588 --> 00:04:47,068
Speaker 6: those interviews have already wrapped up. There's a few makeup sessions,

104
00:04:47,108 --> 00:04:49,948
Speaker 6: but really today is about the medical. Friday is about

105
00:04:50,108 --> 00:04:52,988
Speaker 6: a little bit of rest, getting ready for the throwing session.

106
00:04:53,028 --> 00:04:55,948
Speaker 6: No Caleb Williams, but we'll see guys like JJ McCarthy

107
00:04:56,268 --> 00:04:59,308
Speaker 6: and Michael Pennix, Junior, Bo Nicks, all those guys will

108
00:04:59,308 --> 00:05:02,188
Speaker 6: be out here on the field on Saturday, exciting around

109
00:05:02,228 --> 00:05:05,108
Speaker 6: here for four days of on field foot ball action.

110
00:05:05,268 --> 00:05:08,708
Speaker 2: Guys, I love it, Tom Pellisero.

111
00:05:08,908 --> 00:05:12,068
Speaker 3: He has all the information, all the tidbits. Imagine what

112
00:05:12,148 --> 00:05:14,308
Speaker 3: he's not telling us that he knows. That's what I

113
00:05:14,348 --> 00:05:15,908
Speaker 3: would like to hear about. But we'll have to do

114
00:05:15,988 --> 00:05:18,628
Speaker 3: that offline. He's always plugged in, so we'll let you

115
00:05:18,708 --> 00:05:21,548
Speaker 3: unplug right now. We'll talk to you next hour, Tommy

116
00:05:21,588 --> 00:05:24,028
Speaker 3: p Thank you very much. So, Okay, if you guys

117
00:05:24,068 --> 00:05:28,308
Speaker 3: are one of these coaches or gms that meet with Caleb,

118
00:05:28,828 --> 00:05:31,268
Speaker 3: what do you want to hear from him? You sit down,

119
00:05:31,308 --> 00:05:34,188
Speaker 3: he comes in the room, you are You don't know

120
00:05:34,228 --> 00:05:36,748
Speaker 3: if you're going to have an actual chance to draft him,

121
00:05:36,788 --> 00:05:37,788
Speaker 3: but what do you want to hear?

122
00:05:37,868 --> 00:05:39,108
Speaker 8: Peter, I'm looking at him right now.

123
00:05:39,148 --> 00:05:40,508
Speaker 5: This is this is why the combines weren't.

124
00:05:40,548 --> 00:05:42,668
Speaker 8: Like, he doesn't look enormous. He doesn't look like Josh

125
00:05:42,668 --> 00:05:43,268
Speaker 8: Allen or anything.

126
00:05:43,268 --> 00:05:45,028
Speaker 4: He's bigger than Bryce Young, but like, he's not this

127
00:05:45,308 --> 00:05:48,148
Speaker 4: towering traditional quarterback.

128
00:05:48,228 --> 00:05:50,868
Speaker 8: You know, here's Ben Roethlisberger six foot.

129
00:05:50,508 --> 00:05:53,828
Speaker 4: Eight walking into a room, and I look at last

130
00:05:53,908 --> 00:05:56,028
Speaker 4: year because he didn't have the same year last year

131
00:05:56,068 --> 00:05:57,668
Speaker 4: that he had the year before. And he did have

132
00:05:57,708 --> 00:05:59,588
Speaker 4: Cliff Kingsbury, and he did have Brendan Rice, and he

133
00:05:59,628 --> 00:06:02,268
Speaker 4: did have you know, Marshaun Lloyd in the backfield. He

134
00:06:02,308 --> 00:06:04,708
Speaker 4: did have all these star players. And I say, okay,

135
00:06:04,748 --> 00:06:07,388
Speaker 4: so the numbers last year weren't what they were two

136
00:06:07,428 --> 00:06:07,908
Speaker 4: years ago.

137
00:06:07,828 --> 00:06:08,588
Speaker 5: And I would go at him.

138
00:06:08,588 --> 00:06:09,908
Speaker 8: I would be very direct.

139
00:06:09,948 --> 00:06:12,188
Speaker 4: I wouldn't be scared of Caleb Williams. If we're not

140
00:06:12,268 --> 00:06:14,588
Speaker 4: drafting him, we're not drafting him. While would I would

141
00:06:14,628 --> 00:06:16,548
Speaker 4: want to know what happened last year, and I would

142
00:06:16,548 --> 00:06:17,668
Speaker 4: want to see if he would.

143
00:06:17,748 --> 00:06:20,028
Speaker 8: Be the guy to throw his defense.

144
00:06:19,748 --> 00:06:21,668
Speaker 4: Under the bus or if he would say, hey, you

145
00:06:21,668 --> 00:06:23,068
Speaker 4: know what the truth of the matter is. I already

146
00:06:23,148 --> 00:06:26,268
Speaker 4: knew I was going number one because I think the former,

147
00:06:26,468 --> 00:06:28,108
Speaker 4: like I don't think enough has talked about this.

148
00:06:28,668 --> 00:06:32,028
Speaker 8: USC's defense was horrendous last year.

149
00:06:32,068 --> 00:06:34,348
Speaker 4: One of the worst defenses in the country last year,

150
00:06:34,708 --> 00:06:37,868
Speaker 4: and unlike other quarterbacks of recent years. And I just said,

151
00:06:37,948 --> 00:06:40,428
Speaker 4: let's throw a sampling out there. They were one hundred

152
00:06:40,468 --> 00:06:44,628
Speaker 4: and sixteen. Oh my gosh, all right, so he had

153
00:06:44,668 --> 00:06:47,188
Speaker 4: to play with like a chicken with his head, cut

154
00:06:47,228 --> 00:06:49,508
Speaker 4: off and throw for whatever, and try to constantly be

155
00:06:49,548 --> 00:06:52,228
Speaker 4: in catch up and comebacks. Bryce Young played for the

156
00:06:52,268 --> 00:06:54,748
Speaker 4: twelfth best defense. On the other side, c J Start

157
00:06:54,748 --> 00:06:57,388
Speaker 4: thirteen two. I just mentioned some other quarterback those are

158
00:06:57,428 --> 00:06:57,908
Speaker 4: all top.

159
00:06:58,468 --> 00:06:58,668
Speaker 5: You know.

160
00:06:58,788 --> 00:07:01,788
Speaker 4: Joe Burrow's defense was loaded with NFL stars. Patrick Queen

161
00:07:01,908 --> 00:07:04,708
Speaker 4: was a first round pick. No one from you USC

162
00:07:05,348 --> 00:07:07,548
Speaker 4: will tell you otherwise that this was not a great

163
00:07:07,588 --> 00:07:12,468
Speaker 4: defensive team. So Caleb had to potentially throw more interceptions.

164
00:07:12,548 --> 00:07:16,308
Speaker 4: He had to play from behind. The highlight tape is incredible,

165
00:07:16,428 --> 00:07:19,228
Speaker 4: But if you go objectively, Caleb Williams had a better

166
00:07:19,268 --> 00:07:21,908
Speaker 4: twenty twenty two than he did a better twenty twenty three.

167
00:07:22,308 --> 00:07:23,668
Speaker 4: I would want to ask him, but I'd want to

168
00:07:23,668 --> 00:07:27,108
Speaker 4: see his answers, because this isn't some trick question. I

169
00:07:27,148 --> 00:07:28,948
Speaker 4: know if he says, hey, we had to score a

170
00:07:28,988 --> 00:07:30,228
Speaker 4: lot of points, we had to throw, we had to

171
00:07:30,228 --> 00:07:31,348
Speaker 4: do all these things that it was going to lead

172
00:07:31,348 --> 00:07:35,788
Speaker 4: to interceptions, or is it hey, I was going pro

173
00:07:36,188 --> 00:07:39,148
Speaker 4: and I'll be honest, I wasn't trying to do anything right.

174
00:07:39,228 --> 00:07:41,188
Speaker 4: I just wanted to get my offense and score the

175
00:07:41,188 --> 00:07:42,908
Speaker 4: points we could. I would grill him on it and

176
00:07:43,148 --> 00:07:44,588
Speaker 4: see how he'd handle that, because I don't think any

177
00:07:44,628 --> 00:07:47,268
Speaker 4: people will typically challenge Caleb Williams being the number one

178
00:07:47,308 --> 00:07:48,148
Speaker 4: quarterback his whole life.

179
00:07:48,748 --> 00:07:52,468
Speaker 7: Yeah. I mean it's pretty remarkable what he did with

180
00:07:52,668 --> 00:07:55,308
Speaker 7: such a horrendous defense. I mean, you saw how he

181
00:07:55,388 --> 00:07:58,308
Speaker 7: reacted after those tough losses in college.

182
00:07:58,348 --> 00:07:59,908
Speaker 9: He was really Would.

183
00:07:59,788 --> 00:08:01,628
Speaker 5: You ask him about that? He's crying with his mother.

184
00:08:01,668 --> 00:08:02,668
Speaker 8: Would you ask him about that?

185
00:08:02,748 --> 00:08:05,028
Speaker 7: I don't think that really matters that much to me

186
00:08:05,228 --> 00:08:08,748
Speaker 7: because I want him to continue to answer with confidence

187
00:08:09,028 --> 00:08:12,508
Speaker 7: every answer. I want him to show that he loves football.

188
00:08:12,748 --> 00:08:15,108
Speaker 7: I don't really get into those nuts and bolts. I

189
00:08:15,188 --> 00:08:19,508
Speaker 7: see him, you know, getting more into the how his

190
00:08:19,668 --> 00:08:23,668
Speaker 7: performance is personally not his team. I want to see,

191
00:08:23,788 --> 00:08:27,348
Speaker 7: you know, your footwork, throwing, pushing the ball down the field,

192
00:08:27,428 --> 00:08:30,908
Speaker 7: reading coverages, getting into the football knowledge. Those are the

193
00:08:30,988 --> 00:08:34,268
Speaker 7: questions that I want to know from him. And another

194
00:08:34,348 --> 00:08:36,268
Speaker 7: question that I want to know from him is how

195
00:08:36,308 --> 00:08:38,588
Speaker 7: much does he love football? And he has the chance

196
00:08:38,788 --> 00:08:41,628
Speaker 7: to show it. Yes, he already made ten to twelve

197
00:08:41,748 --> 00:08:45,708
Speaker 7: million dollars already in college. I want him to answer it,

198
00:08:45,948 --> 00:08:48,828
Speaker 7: just like he did in the article when they asked

199
00:08:49,148 --> 00:08:52,868
Speaker 7: about Michael Jordan and Walter Payton legends in Chicago. I

200
00:08:52,868 --> 00:08:55,948
Speaker 7: think he answered that beautifully. He said by saying, I'm

201
00:08:56,028 --> 00:08:58,908
Speaker 7: twenty two. I didn't get to see these legends play,

202
00:08:59,108 --> 00:09:01,708
Speaker 7: but I have a chance to be immortalized, like you

203
00:09:01,748 --> 00:09:05,388
Speaker 7: said earlier, and by him saying that is the confidence

204
00:09:05,428 --> 00:09:07,868
Speaker 7: you want to see in a QB one. And he

205
00:09:07,948 --> 00:09:10,468
Speaker 7: also alluded to at the end of that, I'm gonna

206
00:09:10,508 --> 00:09:13,148
Speaker 7: be immortal by hard work, and that's what you want

207
00:09:13,228 --> 00:09:13,908
Speaker 7: the QB one.

208
00:09:13,988 --> 00:09:16,188
Speaker 5: You love that, And I would want to ask him

209
00:09:16,188 --> 00:09:18,708
Speaker 5: about all of the things, yes, football wise, but the

210
00:09:18,748 --> 00:09:21,628
Speaker 5: things off the field as well, his teammates, how he's

211
00:09:21,708 --> 00:09:25,228
Speaker 5: perceived by them, because you're gonna be possibly the first

212
00:09:25,268 --> 00:09:28,308
Speaker 5: overall pick. And you guys have to think about Chicago situation.

213
00:09:28,628 --> 00:09:31,548
Speaker 5: They drafted justin fields, They've tried to develop justin fields.

214
00:09:31,548 --> 00:09:33,028
Speaker 5: There's guys that are going to be in that locker

215
00:09:33,108 --> 00:09:35,988
Speaker 5: room that they decide to draft Kayler Williams and trade

216
00:09:36,028 --> 00:09:38,228
Speaker 5: away justin fields. There's gonna be guys in that locker

217
00:09:38,228 --> 00:09:41,028
Speaker 5: when they say, hey, you know what, my god like,

218
00:09:41,548 --> 00:09:43,388
Speaker 5: I wanted to see him continue to grow. We got

219
00:09:43,428 --> 00:09:45,668
Speaker 5: him DJ Moore. He took his game to another level.

220
00:09:45,668 --> 00:09:47,908
Speaker 5: I felt like, hey, this upcoming year, we got one

221
00:09:47,908 --> 00:09:51,308
Speaker 5: more receivers. Especially, we're looking at three of those guys

222
00:09:51,308 --> 00:09:53,748
Speaker 5: that Daniel Jeremiah has in the top four. We go

223
00:09:53,828 --> 00:09:55,428
Speaker 5: get one of those guys. We think he can go

224
00:09:55,468 --> 00:09:57,948
Speaker 5: to an even another level. So for Kayleb Williams, I

225
00:09:57,948 --> 00:09:59,388
Speaker 5: think it's going to be a big part of it

226
00:09:59,428 --> 00:10:02,668
Speaker 5: is not only reading coveragers, pushing the ball down the field,

227
00:10:02,668 --> 00:10:04,748
Speaker 5: and all of the intangible things on the field, but

228
00:10:04,788 --> 00:10:06,708
Speaker 5: it's gonna be off the field as well, him being

229
00:10:06,748 --> 00:10:08,948
Speaker 5: able to lead a group of men as a young

230
00:10:08,988 --> 00:10:11,588
Speaker 5: player coming in as a rookie, because there's gonna be

231
00:10:11,628 --> 00:10:14,468
Speaker 5: so much pressure on him. And Yes, in the article,

232
00:10:14,508 --> 00:10:16,428
Speaker 5: I loved a lot of his responses. He said, Hey,

233
00:10:16,428 --> 00:10:19,228
Speaker 5: I'm gonna talk my intensity. Everybody's gonna get a chance

234
00:10:19,228 --> 00:10:20,788
Speaker 5: to see that. I just want to be on a

235
00:10:20,868 --> 00:10:23,468
Speaker 5: team with my brothers out there kicking ass. That was

236
00:10:23,508 --> 00:10:25,748
Speaker 5: a direct quote from him. Those are the type of

237
00:10:25,828 --> 00:10:27,708
Speaker 5: things you want to hear from him. That's who I

238
00:10:27,748 --> 00:10:30,108
Speaker 5: am as a player, as a person. But you also

239
00:10:30,148 --> 00:10:32,068
Speaker 5: have to challenge and test him. There are things that

240
00:10:32,068 --> 00:10:34,108
Speaker 5: you're gonna ask him. There your last game, you decided

241
00:10:34,148 --> 00:10:36,668
Speaker 5: not to talk to the media after the game. How

242
00:10:36,708 --> 00:10:38,908
Speaker 5: are you going to handle that moving forward? Because you're

243
00:10:38,908 --> 00:10:40,828
Speaker 5: going to a team with the first overall pick back

244
00:10:40,828 --> 00:10:42,748
Speaker 5: to back years. I know this year came from a

245
00:10:42,828 --> 00:10:44,668
Speaker 5: trade from the Carolina going.

246
00:10:44,468 --> 00:10:48,628
Speaker 4: To Chicago in Arizona, and they.

247
00:10:48,548 --> 00:10:49,468
Speaker 8: Will tear you down.

248
00:10:49,708 --> 00:10:52,748
Speaker 5: We watch Justin Fields have to answer questions and everything

249
00:10:52,788 --> 00:10:55,108
Speaker 5: he said it had to be dissected. Sometimes I feel

250
00:10:55,148 --> 00:10:57,068
Speaker 5: like I'm playing like a robot. What does this have

251
00:10:57,108 --> 00:10:59,068
Speaker 5: to do with Luke Getzi? Are they not? They coach

252
00:10:59,108 --> 00:11:01,228
Speaker 5: you too much? Hilla Williams is gonna have to deal

253
00:11:01,268 --> 00:11:03,908
Speaker 5: with all of those things and then some because of

254
00:11:03,908 --> 00:11:06,668
Speaker 5: the fact that Fields could be shipped out because of him.

255
00:11:06,828 --> 00:11:08,908
Speaker 5: So I want to know about all of those things

256
00:11:08,948 --> 00:11:10,948
Speaker 5: off the field as well, And in that meeting, I

257
00:11:10,948 --> 00:11:11,708
Speaker 5: want to challenge them.

258
00:11:11,748 --> 00:11:13,428
Speaker 4: Let me ask you, guys, both and Colin you can

259
00:11:13,508 --> 00:11:15,508
Speaker 4: chime in as someone who covered the league for many years,

260
00:11:15,948 --> 00:11:18,828
Speaker 4: does you as a current player, as someone who says

261
00:11:18,868 --> 00:11:20,988
Speaker 4: got ten years under his belt? Or third, when you

262
00:11:21,068 --> 00:11:25,348
Speaker 4: hear and I ol money and lives lives in a

263
00:11:25,388 --> 00:11:30,308
Speaker 4: sick apartment and doesn't want to do the medicals necessarily,

264
00:11:30,348 --> 00:11:32,188
Speaker 4: does it rub you wrong as a player here in

265
00:11:32,188 --> 00:11:32,428
Speaker 4: this and.

266
00:11:32,468 --> 00:11:34,668
Speaker 8: Who is this kid or is it say or do

267
00:11:34,668 --> 00:11:35,188
Speaker 8: you say yes?

268
00:11:35,268 --> 00:11:35,868
Speaker 5: Empower him?

269
00:11:35,908 --> 00:11:38,708
Speaker 4: I want that for the for the young player, like yes, finally,

270
00:11:38,748 --> 00:11:39,548
Speaker 4: like this guy gets it.

271
00:11:39,588 --> 00:11:41,628
Speaker 5: What is your take? I love that for the guys,

272
00:11:41,668 --> 00:11:43,948
Speaker 5: and I'm not mad at him. I embrace him. But

273
00:11:43,988 --> 00:11:45,868
Speaker 5: at the same time, once he gets in our locker

274
00:11:45,948 --> 00:11:48,308
Speaker 5: room and now you're you're past USC and all of that, like,

275
00:11:48,388 --> 00:11:50,428
Speaker 5: you're you're just a rookie, right, We're gonna treat you

276
00:11:50,468 --> 00:11:52,828
Speaker 5: as such, and we expect you to respond to that.

277
00:11:52,988 --> 00:11:55,428
Speaker 5: Once you get here in the NFL where you haven't

278
00:11:55,468 --> 00:11:58,108
Speaker 5: done anything yet, you can't walk in all prestigious and

279
00:11:58,148 --> 00:12:00,468
Speaker 5: demand these different things like no, you're a rookie. You're

280
00:12:00,468 --> 00:12:02,468
Speaker 5: gonna carry the helmets of the other quarterbacks. You're gonna

281
00:12:02,508 --> 00:12:04,868
Speaker 5: do the same things rookies have passed have done.

282
00:12:04,988 --> 00:12:06,308
Speaker 2: You think he's going to actually do that?

283
00:12:06,428 --> 00:12:08,748
Speaker 3: You think that he will follow suit because he's already

284
00:12:08,788 --> 00:12:12,068
Speaker 3: not doing things that past rookies have done before past prospects.

285
00:12:12,428 --> 00:12:14,228
Speaker 5: I don't want to assume that he's not going to

286
00:12:14,268 --> 00:12:16,628
Speaker 5: do those things, because I think once you get within

287
00:12:16,668 --> 00:12:18,828
Speaker 5: the locker room, there's a different set of brotherhood. Now

288
00:12:18,828 --> 00:12:21,308
Speaker 5: I'm going through an interview process where I don't have

289
00:12:21,348 --> 00:12:24,428
Speaker 5: teammates yet. I don't owe the combine anything yet. I'm

290
00:12:24,468 --> 00:12:26,628
Speaker 5: going in there for a job interview, and hell, I've

291
00:12:26,628 --> 00:12:28,788
Speaker 5: earned an opportunity to say, you know what, forget about

292
00:12:28,788 --> 00:12:31,708
Speaker 5: the medical because of my play, because of the standards

293
00:12:31,708 --> 00:12:33,868
Speaker 5: have changed. So I wouldn't hold that against them. But

294
00:12:33,908 --> 00:12:35,348
Speaker 5: once he gets there, like, you're a rookie, just like

295
00:12:35,388 --> 00:12:36,588
Speaker 5: the rookies that came before you.

296
00:12:36,668 --> 00:12:38,388
Speaker 7: Yeah, and I also want to see how much you

297
00:12:38,468 --> 00:12:42,388
Speaker 7: love football? Are we doing the extra things off the field?

298
00:12:42,428 --> 00:12:44,668
Speaker 7: Are we hanging out? Are you have too cool for me?

299
00:12:44,948 --> 00:12:47,388
Speaker 7: Are you hanging out with the linemen? Are you throwing

300
00:12:47,468 --> 00:12:50,748
Speaker 7: with the receivers? Are you doing everything in your power

301
00:12:50,868 --> 00:12:53,628
Speaker 7: to be QB one? Once you're in the building, and

302
00:12:53,708 --> 00:12:55,548
Speaker 7: by doing that, you got to show me. You got

303
00:12:55,548 --> 00:12:58,348
Speaker 7: to show me you love football like I do personally,

304
00:12:58,548 --> 00:13:00,548
Speaker 7: I want to do whatever it takes to win on

305
00:13:00,668 --> 00:13:02,988
Speaker 7: any team I want to be. I want that same

306
00:13:03,668 --> 00:13:06,708
Speaker 7: attitude for QB one, if not more. Are you in

307
00:13:06,748 --> 00:13:09,428
Speaker 7: the building at five point thirty? Are you leaving late?

308
00:13:09,508 --> 00:13:11,948
Speaker 7: You got to show me you love football, and I

309
00:13:11,988 --> 00:13:12,548
Speaker 7: expect that.

310
00:13:12,908 --> 00:13:16,108
Speaker 4: Your quarterback now, Lamar obviously everyone says he loves football.

311
00:13:16,148 --> 00:13:16,828
Speaker 5: He does that.

312
00:13:18,188 --> 00:13:20,508
Speaker 4: Everyone follows his lead because of the way he does that.

313
00:13:20,588 --> 00:13:21,868
Speaker 4: And I think that's what you're looking for in a

314
00:13:21,948 --> 00:13:22,748
Speaker 4: quarterback for sure.

315
00:13:22,788 --> 00:13:25,188
Speaker 7: And I've played for tremendous ones. I've played for the

316
00:13:25,228 --> 00:13:28,348
Speaker 7: goat Tom Brady. I've played for Matthew Stafford, who beat

317
00:13:28,388 --> 00:13:32,028
Speaker 7: everybody to the building. I played with Tua and Fitzpatrick

318
00:13:32,148 --> 00:13:34,708
Speaker 7: who both showed up to beat each other out for

319
00:13:34,748 --> 00:13:38,188
Speaker 7: this starting job. I've played with tremendous quarterbacks who all

320
00:13:38,388 --> 00:13:43,068
Speaker 7: took that QB one responsibility to empower everybody around him

321
00:13:43,148 --> 00:13:45,628
Speaker 7: and show that they love football and want to win.

322
00:13:45,868 --> 00:13:46,108
Speaker 1: Yeah.

323
00:13:46,148 --> 00:13:48,228
Speaker 3: I just want to see that he cares like I

324
00:13:48,268 --> 00:13:51,588
Speaker 3: want to hear him spit out pro style concepts. I

325
00:13:51,628 --> 00:13:54,708
Speaker 3: don't care about the nail art. I don't care about

326
00:13:54,748 --> 00:13:57,148
Speaker 3: him crying on the sidelines. If anything, it shows that

327
00:13:57,228 --> 00:14:00,068
Speaker 3: he's passionate. And we already know that he's different. And

328
00:14:00,188 --> 00:14:03,628
Speaker 3: we talk about the nil money. He's really generous too.

329
00:14:03,788 --> 00:14:07,508
Speaker 3: He flew all of his offensive linemen to the Heisman ceremony.

330
00:14:07,628 --> 00:14:10,908
Speaker 3: He bought like three hundred pairs of headphones for his

331
00:14:10,948 --> 00:14:15,028
Speaker 3: teammates and the teams like the women's and the men's

332
00:14:15,028 --> 00:14:17,988
Speaker 3: basketball team as well. Like he is generous with the

333
00:14:18,028 --> 00:14:20,868
Speaker 3: money that he's made, and it is interesting if he

334
00:14:21,028 --> 00:14:24,028
Speaker 3: is in fact blazing a trail for the people that

335
00:14:24,108 --> 00:14:25,308
Speaker 3: come after him.

336
00:14:25,108 --> 00:14:27,068
Speaker 2: To have more of that power.

337
00:14:27,188 --> 00:14:30,308
Speaker 3: But like I just I wonder, I wonder how it

338
00:14:30,348 --> 00:14:33,628
Speaker 3: will be accepted in the locker room because.

339
00:14:33,228 --> 00:14:34,268
Speaker 2: Of just the money angle.

340
00:14:34,308 --> 00:14:37,628
Speaker 3: We haven't seen yet players that are going to be

341
00:14:37,708 --> 00:14:41,228
Speaker 3: drafted this high come out and be making less money

342
00:14:41,268 --> 00:14:44,188
Speaker 3: when they get to the NFL than they made in college.

343
00:14:44,228 --> 00:14:46,788
Speaker 3: It's a really interesting dynamic switch.

344
00:14:46,908 --> 00:14:48,988
Speaker 4: I think it's him and like Caitlyn Clark, they're both

345
00:14:49,028 --> 00:14:50,828
Speaker 4: going to be taking like a step down with their

346
00:14:50,868 --> 00:14:52,548
Speaker 4: salaries the pro league.

347
00:14:52,708 --> 00:14:54,748
Speaker 5: Yeah, the one thing for him, I will say, as

348
00:14:54,748 --> 00:14:56,908
Speaker 5: a player in the locker room, a rookie comes in,

349
00:14:57,428 --> 00:15:00,908
Speaker 5: if you absolutely ball, nobody cares.

350
00:15:01,388 --> 00:15:01,868
Speaker 2: That's right.

351
00:15:02,228 --> 00:15:05,108
Speaker 5: Yoch Chicago Baron, his young kid comes in start training

352
00:15:05,108 --> 00:15:06,948
Speaker 5: camp and he rolls out to the left, throws the

353
00:15:06,988 --> 00:15:09,628
Speaker 5: ball back to the right to DJ Moore, wide opening

354
00:15:09,708 --> 00:15:11,348
Speaker 5: be somebody you're gonna be like, You're gonna sit there

355
00:15:11,388 --> 00:15:14,268
Speaker 5: and back and say, my goodness. They say, generational talent.

356
00:15:14,468 --> 00:15:16,508
Speaker 5: We see it. Put him out there, let you go.

357
00:15:16,868 --> 00:15:17,628
Speaker 5: If we don't watch it.

358
00:15:17,748 --> 00:15:20,668
Speaker 4: Training camp footage in Atlanta and Pittsburgh or wherever he goes,

359
00:15:20,708 --> 00:15:22,668
Speaker 4: and Justin Fields is balling out and this guy doesn't

360
00:15:22,708 --> 00:15:22,988
Speaker 4: have it.

361
00:15:23,148 --> 00:15:26,468
Speaker 7: Will you say the argument of Kyle Hamilton when everybody

362
00:15:26,548 --> 00:15:29,268
Speaker 7: ripped him first year, beat first year, and now look

363
00:15:29,268 --> 00:15:31,828
Speaker 7: at him, he's an all pro so that Patians.

364
00:15:31,508 --> 00:15:34,348
Speaker 3: Yes, Well, the pressure is there either way, Caleb Williams,

365
00:15:34,388 --> 00:15:37,548
Speaker 3: with everything that surrounds him. If he does not ball

366
00:15:37,708 --> 00:15:41,468
Speaker 3: out like right away, that is going to everyone is

367
00:15:41,508 --> 00:15:44,028
Speaker 3: going to have something to say. The criticism will be

368
00:15:44,388 --> 00:15:48,148
Speaker 3: just as heavy as any type of adoration and accolades

369
00:15:48,188 --> 00:15:50,188
Speaker 3: that he could receive by killing it.

370
00:15:55,588 --> 00:15:59,108
Speaker 2: Now time for a little throwdown Thursday.

371
00:15:59,628 --> 00:16:02,628
Speaker 3: As the combine gets rolling today, let's take a look

372
00:16:02,668 --> 00:16:06,028
Speaker 3: at the team's currently selecting in the top ten, specifically

373
00:16:06,188 --> 00:16:09,748
Speaker 3: two teams that are meeting with quarterbacks out in Indianapolis.

374
00:16:10,108 --> 00:16:14,548
Speaker 3: So which team, in your mind has a more interesting

375
00:16:14,628 --> 00:16:15,188
Speaker 3: pick in.

376
00:16:15,108 --> 00:16:18,108
Speaker 2: The first round? We have the Patriots picking.

377
00:16:17,868 --> 00:16:22,628
Speaker 3: At third overall or the Giants three spots back at six.

378
00:16:22,428 --> 00:16:26,348
Speaker 4: Peter, I think obviously both teams are these little spots

379
00:16:26,348 --> 00:16:27,708
Speaker 4: where you might not be able to get the top

380
00:16:27,788 --> 00:16:30,148
Speaker 4: player on your draft board, but if things go a

381
00:16:30,188 --> 00:16:32,788
Speaker 4: certain way, there's a very attractive piece at quarterback, and

382
00:16:32,828 --> 00:16:34,428
Speaker 4: it's question of would either one of.

383
00:16:34,348 --> 00:16:35,068
Speaker 8: Those teams take them.

384
00:16:35,108 --> 00:16:37,668
Speaker 4: I think the Patriots they're gonna be looking hard at

385
00:16:37,668 --> 00:16:40,788
Speaker 4: all these quarterbacks, and I specifically look at the three. Obviously,

386
00:16:41,028 --> 00:16:43,828
Speaker 4: Caleb probably not going to get to them. May and Daniels,

387
00:16:43,908 --> 00:16:45,268
Speaker 4: one of those two will be there.

388
00:16:45,308 --> 00:16:46,068
Speaker 8: For the Giants.

389
00:16:46,108 --> 00:16:46,428
Speaker 4: Though.

390
00:16:47,868 --> 00:16:49,708
Speaker 8: Let's say one of those guys slips.

391
00:16:49,348 --> 00:16:51,508
Speaker 4: To the Giants. You're talking about Drake May fall to

392
00:16:51,588 --> 00:16:54,428
Speaker 4: number six. That's a real decision. That is where they

393
00:16:54,468 --> 00:16:57,348
Speaker 4: traded up to get Daniel Jones's where they got Daniel Jones.

394
00:16:57,588 --> 00:16:59,948
Speaker 4: Daniel Jones essentially is one year left on a forty

395
00:16:59,988 --> 00:17:04,108
Speaker 4: million dollar contract. I think it's the Giants because the

396
00:17:04,148 --> 00:17:07,308
Speaker 4: pay to me, it's it's okay quarterback, who's left?

397
00:17:07,388 --> 00:17:08,628
Speaker 8: We go that way to we go with the star

398
00:17:08,668 --> 00:17:09,268
Speaker 8: wide receiver.

399
00:17:09,628 --> 00:17:12,748
Speaker 4: Giants, we might have to make a decision on Daniel Jones,

400
00:17:12,788 --> 00:17:14,308
Speaker 4: and it might be based on what the five teams

401
00:17:14,308 --> 00:17:16,708
Speaker 4: before us do in the draft. I think Daniel Jones

402
00:17:16,748 --> 00:17:19,708
Speaker 4: the situation is fascinating as we head towards free agency

403
00:17:19,748 --> 00:17:21,788
Speaker 4: and the draft last year put him in a corner.

404
00:17:22,108 --> 00:17:25,188
Speaker 4: Basically Saquon it's gonna get franchised. We're gonna give this

405
00:17:25,228 --> 00:17:26,988
Speaker 4: guy a deal. But there's so many outs on this thing.

406
00:17:27,028 --> 00:17:30,988
Speaker 4: After two years, Hurts hurts himself again, torn acl long

407
00:17:31,028 --> 00:17:31,748
Speaker 4: recovery time.

408
00:17:32,068 --> 00:17:33,508
Speaker 8: Do they just say screw.

409
00:17:33,188 --> 00:17:34,908
Speaker 4: It, we don't plan on being in the top ten again.

410
00:17:35,068 --> 00:17:37,668
Speaker 4: If there's a quarterback, whether it be May Daniels, maybe

411
00:17:37,708 --> 00:17:39,868
Speaker 4: even JJ McCarthy or bon Nicks, do we just take

412
00:17:39,908 --> 00:17:42,068
Speaker 4: them there at six and really rock the boat and

413
00:17:42,068 --> 00:17:43,708
Speaker 4: then deal with Daniel James at a letter day. I

414
00:17:43,708 --> 00:17:46,588
Speaker 4: think that's more interesting than the Patriots too. All right, Third, overall,

415
00:17:46,668 --> 00:17:47,388
Speaker 4: let's see what they do.

416
00:17:47,948 --> 00:17:50,708
Speaker 7: Yeah, I mean you you hit it right there with

417
00:17:50,988 --> 00:17:54,028
Speaker 7: a quarterback situation for both. But I don't know if

418
00:17:54,068 --> 00:17:56,708
Speaker 7: the Patriots might take a quarterback. They could be happy

419
00:17:56,748 --> 00:17:59,628
Speaker 7: with Mac, they really could. You could see Marvin Jones

420
00:17:59,828 --> 00:18:04,068
Speaker 7: a receiver drafted here. I like Harrison, Marvin Harrison Junior.

421
00:18:04,788 --> 00:18:07,268
Speaker 7: I don't know if Marvin Harrison Senior would like him

422
00:18:07,268 --> 00:18:09,588
Speaker 7: to go to the Patriots. I don't know about that,

423
00:18:09,708 --> 00:18:12,908
Speaker 7: but I like this pick for the Patriots just because

424
00:18:13,068 --> 00:18:17,268
Speaker 7: of the new regime with girod. Mayo and Elliott Wolf

425
00:18:17,348 --> 00:18:20,668
Speaker 7: making that final decision. Both of them have said that

426
00:18:20,748 --> 00:18:24,228
Speaker 7: this is going to be a less hard ass era.

427
00:18:24,388 --> 00:18:27,348
Speaker 7: And they were taking no shots to Bill Belichick. They

428
00:18:27,348 --> 00:18:30,148
Speaker 7: were just wanting to say, hey, we're starting fresh, We're

429
00:18:30,148 --> 00:18:32,868
Speaker 7: gonna do something a little bit different. And are they

430
00:18:32,908 --> 00:18:35,548
Speaker 7: going to do something a little bit different with this pick?

431
00:18:35,748 --> 00:18:38,588
Speaker 7: Are they going to trade back and get more picks

432
00:18:38,788 --> 00:18:42,388
Speaker 7: to acquire more talent in this area? We don't know,

433
00:18:42,708 --> 00:18:44,948
Speaker 7: but they have a lot of holes to fill. What

434
00:18:44,988 --> 00:18:47,828
Speaker 7: are they going to do at quarterback? They need receivers,

435
00:18:48,028 --> 00:18:51,428
Speaker 7: They need some help offensively to get more weapons. Are

436
00:18:51,428 --> 00:18:53,348
Speaker 7: they going to pick this with the number three.

437
00:18:53,268 --> 00:18:55,468
Speaker 8: Pis what Elliott said yesterday.

438
00:18:55,468 --> 00:18:58,188
Speaker 4: And Elliott Wolf is Ron Wolf's son was for years

439
00:18:58,228 --> 00:19:00,068
Speaker 4: the Packers comes over to the Patriots, has been there

440
00:19:00,108 --> 00:19:02,468
Speaker 4: a couple years. He said, it's going to be a

441
00:19:02,508 --> 00:19:05,948
Speaker 4: different draft after the way they value the draft picks.

442
00:19:06,148 --> 00:19:09,268
Speaker 4: Bill had very specific needs and that's why sometimes players

443
00:19:09,308 --> 00:19:11,668
Speaker 4: that not necessarily every other team would take, he would

444
00:19:11,668 --> 00:19:16,188
Speaker 4: take a Jawan was his name, Big big corner Joan Williams. Williams,

445
00:19:16,228 --> 00:19:18,508
Speaker 4: big guy out of Vandy Cole Strange a couple of

446
00:19:18,548 --> 00:19:21,068
Speaker 4: years ago, where that's what Belichick felt he needed for

447
00:19:21,188 --> 00:19:23,428
Speaker 4: that team and that these guys are like, we're looking

448
00:19:23,468 --> 00:19:25,828
Speaker 4: at best overall player. We're gonna fill our board in

449
00:19:25,868 --> 00:19:27,868
Speaker 4: a different way than what build. It wasn't a slight

450
00:19:27,948 --> 00:19:29,588
Speaker 4: up build, but it seems like there's a different system

451
00:19:29,628 --> 00:19:31,748
Speaker 4: in place, at least at how they value their draft

452
00:19:31,788 --> 00:19:33,948
Speaker 4: picks and how they assess these combined prospects.

453
00:19:33,988 --> 00:19:36,548
Speaker 5: Definitely, Cole Strange wasn't expected to go that high. Kyle

454
00:19:36,668 --> 00:19:40,068
Speaker 5: Duggar second round pick out of Leonora Ry, So you

455
00:19:40,148 --> 00:19:42,468
Speaker 5: definitely going to be a different approach. And even before

456
00:19:42,468 --> 00:19:44,268
Speaker 5: I go, I want to follow, you said they could

457
00:19:44,268 --> 00:19:46,388
Speaker 5: possibly stick with Mac Jones. You were there in that

458
00:19:46,428 --> 00:19:48,828
Speaker 5: locker room with Mac his rookie year. Now you weren't

459
00:19:48,868 --> 00:19:50,908
Speaker 5: there the years after, but you've seen from the outside

460
00:19:50,948 --> 00:19:53,788
Speaker 5: looking in which transpired with a different o SS. Do

461
00:19:53,828 --> 00:19:55,748
Speaker 5: you really think there's a chance that they we just

462
00:19:55,788 --> 00:19:58,188
Speaker 5: bring Mac back, we build around him, and we won

463
00:19:58,268 --> 00:19:59,908
Speaker 5: it back. What do you think within that locker room

464
00:19:59,908 --> 00:20:01,348
Speaker 5: there are a lot of guys that are like, I

465
00:20:01,388 --> 00:20:02,468
Speaker 5: don't know about Mac Jones.

466
00:20:02,508 --> 00:20:05,588
Speaker 7: Yeah, I think it's always a possible ability. Right, it's

467
00:20:05,628 --> 00:20:07,988
Speaker 7: a new regime. You could be like, hey, bring Mack in,

468
00:20:08,108 --> 00:20:11,388
Speaker 7: let's have a conversation. Fresh news start for you, and

469
00:20:11,628 --> 00:20:14,508
Speaker 7: you know he did some really really good things his

470
00:20:14,628 --> 00:20:17,868
Speaker 7: rookie year. Then he had a defensive coordinator and then

471
00:20:17,948 --> 00:20:21,668
Speaker 7: things started to unravel for him. So I believe that,

472
00:20:22,188 --> 00:20:24,948
Speaker 7: you know, you could go either way, and I'm not

473
00:20:24,988 --> 00:20:27,548
Speaker 7: going to sit here and speculate. You know, are they

474
00:20:27,548 --> 00:20:29,508
Speaker 7: going to pick a quarterback? Are they going to pick

475
00:20:29,508 --> 00:20:32,668
Speaker 7: a receiver? But they could sit down Mac and say, hey,

476
00:20:33,028 --> 00:20:35,988
Speaker 7: this is your chance, your opportunity. We might try, you know,

477
00:20:36,348 --> 00:20:38,388
Speaker 7: we want to see what you got. We might will

478
00:20:38,428 --> 00:20:41,268
Speaker 7: give you a target receiver to go get the ball.

479
00:20:41,748 --> 00:20:44,068
Speaker 7: You know, we'll see. But they have a lot of

480
00:20:44,388 --> 00:20:47,068
Speaker 7: different interesting things that they could do with this number

481
00:20:47,108 --> 00:20:47,508
Speaker 7: three pick.

482
00:20:47,588 --> 00:20:49,308
Speaker 5: I'm going with the Giants on this one, and a

483
00:20:49,348 --> 00:20:52,468
Speaker 5: lot of what Shrike said. They have a quarterback that

484
00:20:52,508 --> 00:20:54,148
Speaker 5: they just paid. You think about it. You go back

485
00:20:54,148 --> 00:20:55,828
Speaker 5: to a year ago. The conversation was, all right, we

486
00:20:55,868 --> 00:20:58,108
Speaker 5: have Saquon who's a free agent. We have Daniel Jones.

487
00:20:58,268 --> 00:21:01,468
Speaker 5: They chose to tag Saquon Barkley and then give Daniel

488
00:21:01,508 --> 00:21:03,988
Speaker 5: Jones the full on extension and yeah, there's outs in

489
00:21:04,068 --> 00:21:05,868
Speaker 5: the deal, but at that time it was just like,

490
00:21:05,908 --> 00:21:07,708
Speaker 5: really like he had the good year, but should we

491
00:21:07,708 --> 00:21:10,388
Speaker 5: give him that contract? They did, so if they decide

492
00:21:10,428 --> 00:21:13,068
Speaker 5: to get a quarterback in. For Giants fans, it's kind

493
00:21:13,068 --> 00:21:14,468
Speaker 5: of both ends of the spectrum when it comes to

494
00:21:14,508 --> 00:21:16,628
Speaker 5: Daniel Jones. There's some guys are like, he's still young,

495
00:21:16,668 --> 00:21:19,428
Speaker 5: he's learning, not that long underdable, he's our guy, And

496
00:21:19,468 --> 00:21:21,628
Speaker 5: there's other fans that I saw Joe Shane had to

497
00:21:21,668 --> 00:21:23,548
Speaker 5: take a call at where the family was like, what

498
00:21:23,668 --> 00:21:24,788
Speaker 5: the hell are you seeing this guy?

499
00:21:24,828 --> 00:21:26,668
Speaker 4: Like how are you saw him loose forty to nothing

500
00:21:26,668 --> 00:21:27,308
Speaker 4: against Dallas?

501
00:21:27,428 --> 00:21:29,148
Speaker 5: What are you seeing? What are you seeing that we

502
00:21:29,268 --> 00:21:32,748
Speaker 5: as fans aren't seeing. So if they draft a quarterback

503
00:21:32,828 --> 00:21:35,148
Speaker 5: after paying him and then have to make a decision,

504
00:21:35,348 --> 00:21:37,708
Speaker 5: I think that's the part that as fans, as members

505
00:21:37,708 --> 00:21:40,708
Speaker 5: of the media, we all sit back and we're watching like, wow,

506
00:21:41,348 --> 00:21:42,988
Speaker 5: what does it say about Danie Jones? Well to say

507
00:21:42,988 --> 00:21:44,988
Speaker 5: about your decision to pay him? If now a year

508
00:21:45,108 --> 00:21:46,788
Speaker 5: later and then you've mixed all in the fact that

509
00:21:46,828 --> 00:21:49,388
Speaker 5: he's coming off in ACLSIP, so you don't know when

510
00:21:49,468 --> 00:21:51,828
Speaker 5: exactly he's going to be healthy. You're trying to judge

511
00:21:51,828 --> 00:21:53,628
Speaker 5: it from where his rehab is now. So I think

512
00:21:53,668 --> 00:21:55,508
Speaker 5: that's the situation Nick May falls to six.

513
00:21:55,548 --> 00:21:57,388
Speaker 4: If you're the Giants, cum Jason, do you take him

514
00:21:57,388 --> 00:21:58,508
Speaker 4: and to say, you know what, we don't plan on

515
00:21:58,548 --> 00:21:59,828
Speaker 4: being in the top ten anytime soon.

516
00:21:59,948 --> 00:22:02,628
Speaker 5: I think Gus go back to the confetti test. Can

517
00:22:02,668 --> 00:22:05,428
Speaker 5: they see Daniel Jones with the confetti fall on hand

518
00:22:05,628 --> 00:22:07,588
Speaker 5: in New Orleans or wherever the Super Bowl has to be.

519
00:22:07,748 --> 00:22:08,228
Speaker 5: I think you do.

520
00:22:08,308 --> 00:22:10,628
Speaker 7: I think you go with you also to the locker room.

521
00:22:10,748 --> 00:22:13,388
Speaker 7: You have Kvon Thibodeau that came out and said I

522
00:22:13,468 --> 00:22:16,268
Speaker 7: thought Saquon should have got paid more. What's that say

523
00:22:16,348 --> 00:22:19,748
Speaker 7: to the locker room as well? Yeah, you drafted another quarterback.

524
00:22:19,868 --> 00:22:22,588
Speaker 3: That's an intriguing situation. But for me, it's the higher

525
00:22:22,588 --> 00:22:24,668
Speaker 3: the pick, the more interest I have. This is like,

526
00:22:24,748 --> 00:22:28,228
Speaker 3: it's very very clear cut, very simple. The Patriots our

527
00:22:28,388 --> 00:22:31,508
Speaker 3: team that is trying to rebuild one of the greatest

528
00:22:31,588 --> 00:22:35,028
Speaker 3: dynasties in sports ever. They're trying to replace one of

529
00:22:35,108 --> 00:22:39,428
Speaker 3: the greatest players in NFL history at the most important position.

530
00:22:39,748 --> 00:22:43,308
Speaker 3: And the AFC is absolutely loaded with elite quarterbacks. So

531
00:22:43,468 --> 00:22:46,388
Speaker 3: they are in such an interesting transition year with a

532
00:22:46,428 --> 00:22:48,788
Speaker 3: brand new head coach as well, and just new blood,

533
00:22:48,828 --> 00:22:51,628
Speaker 3: new vibes, new everything. I'm so all in on the

534
00:22:51,668 --> 00:22:53,428
Speaker 3: Patriots next one.

535
00:22:53,508 --> 00:22:55,348
Speaker 2: Let's go to. Obviously, we're going to see.

536
00:22:55,228 --> 00:22:57,508
Speaker 3: The d line, the edge guys, the linebackers today on

537
00:22:57,508 --> 00:23:00,228
Speaker 3: the field at Lucas Oil Stadium, just in a few hours.

538
00:23:00,588 --> 00:23:02,828
Speaker 3: So what's the combine event here?

539
00:23:02,908 --> 00:23:05,988
Speaker 2: You're more excited about what you are dash or the.

540
00:23:06,028 --> 00:23:07,108
Speaker 8: Drills, Peter.

541
00:23:07,268 --> 00:23:10,788
Speaker 4: I'll be honest, I've covered decades worth of combine coverage

542
00:23:10,828 --> 00:23:12,068
Speaker 4: here at NFL Network.

543
00:23:12,068 --> 00:23:15,108
Speaker 8: I'm in the booth the drills. I'm not a coach.

544
00:23:15,308 --> 00:23:15,948
Speaker 8: I see it.

545
00:23:16,028 --> 00:23:18,188
Speaker 4: It's just guys in their underwear doing things, and I'm

546
00:23:18,188 --> 00:23:19,388
Speaker 4: sure it's all very significant.

547
00:23:19,788 --> 00:23:23,228
Speaker 8: Forty time. Forty time has a scoreboard. I'm here for

548
00:23:23,268 --> 00:23:23,828
Speaker 8: the forty.

549
00:23:23,908 --> 00:23:26,428
Speaker 4: I'm here when Jordan Davis goes and burns and everyone says,

550
00:23:26,508 --> 00:23:28,428
Speaker 4: where did that come from? I'm there when don Terry

551
00:23:28,468 --> 00:23:32,188
Speaker 4: Poe puts it together. I love when the big guys moved.

552
00:23:32,828 --> 00:23:35,988
Speaker 4: Last year, of course, we had so many of those

553
00:23:36,028 --> 00:23:39,468
Speaker 4: big defensive linemen. Elijah Kanty came out there and burned.

554
00:23:40,188 --> 00:23:41,908
Speaker 4: I love seeing the big guys moving.

555
00:23:42,668 --> 00:23:44,388
Speaker 2: I'm the offensive lineman when they're running.

556
00:23:44,428 --> 00:23:47,548
Speaker 4: Always, always, I'm gonna say the forty, and I think

557
00:23:47,588 --> 00:23:48,588
Speaker 4: for me it's by a long shot.

558
00:23:48,588 --> 00:23:49,548
Speaker 8: I'm not a high school coach.

559
00:23:49,548 --> 00:23:50,428
Speaker 5: I'm not a college coach.

560
00:23:50,428 --> 00:23:51,908
Speaker 4: I don't know if I have such a great appreciation

561
00:23:51,948 --> 00:23:53,348
Speaker 4: for defensive line drills.

562
00:23:53,588 --> 00:23:59,068
Speaker 5: Yeah. Times, we do television for high school coaches. Rip,

563
00:23:59,188 --> 00:24:01,068
Speaker 5: I don't know what that stuff. I just give me speed.

564
00:24:01,188 --> 00:24:04,108
Speaker 7: Yeah, the forties cool, It really is cool. It gets

565
00:24:04,188 --> 00:24:08,668
Speaker 7: the hype everyone's that I'm you're in the entertainment, yes,

566
00:24:08,708 --> 00:24:11,388
Speaker 7: but as a player and a coach, you gotta love

567
00:24:11,428 --> 00:24:13,908
Speaker 7: the drills. I want to see these big guys wiggle.

568
00:24:14,068 --> 00:24:16,708
Speaker 7: I want to see them the feet, quick feet, Who's

569
00:24:16,708 --> 00:24:19,468
Speaker 7: got the quick feet? Who's got slow feet? Quick feet?

570
00:24:19,548 --> 00:24:22,668
Speaker 7: Gets your paid. I want to see all these DB's

571
00:24:22,748 --> 00:24:25,508
Speaker 7: cuts in and out of breaks. Who's smooth, who's not?

572
00:24:25,908 --> 00:24:29,188
Speaker 7: Which big guy has quick feet, who can move who not?

573
00:24:29,668 --> 00:24:32,108
Speaker 7: I want to see the old lineman. I know it's

574
00:24:32,148 --> 00:24:34,428
Speaker 7: not the sexiest position, but I want to see who

575
00:24:34,508 --> 00:24:37,708
Speaker 7: has those elite feet that can protect my QB. This

576
00:24:37,948 --> 00:24:39,028
Speaker 7: was such a down.

577
00:24:38,828 --> 00:24:41,748
Speaker 4: Year watching rill and you can identify it and be like, oh,

578
00:24:41,748 --> 00:24:43,348
Speaker 4: that guy's a player based on these drills.

579
00:24:43,508 --> 00:24:43,948
Speaker 5: Who is it?

580
00:24:44,188 --> 00:24:47,948
Speaker 7: Yeah? Well, I'm saying I think you can because you're

581
00:24:48,068 --> 00:24:50,028
Speaker 7: looking at him and like, that's that guy's a little

582
00:24:50,068 --> 00:24:52,308
Speaker 7: bit smooth. Let me go back and watch his tape

583
00:24:52,348 --> 00:24:53,988
Speaker 7: a little bit better if it's putting you.

584
00:24:54,308 --> 00:24:56,868
Speaker 4: Kyle vanoy as a ten year veteran, fifteen year veteran,

585
00:24:56,868 --> 00:24:57,468
Speaker 4: how long you play?

586
00:24:57,628 --> 00:24:58,308
Speaker 8: Can you see it?

587
00:24:58,348 --> 00:25:00,028
Speaker 4: Do you have an eye that maybe either viewer doesn't

588
00:25:00,148 --> 00:25:02,028
Speaker 4: because you're like, I know what, I could recognize it.

589
00:25:02,908 --> 00:25:05,748
Speaker 7: I always believe in the tape. I want to see

590
00:25:05,788 --> 00:25:08,028
Speaker 7: somebody do well and make sure match the shirts, but

591
00:25:08,068 --> 00:25:10,788
Speaker 7: I want to see if it matches up with the gameplay.

592
00:25:10,988 --> 00:25:13,108
Speaker 5: I look at this question, what did you run your forty?

593
00:25:13,548 --> 00:25:16,388
Speaker 7: Don't worry about it, but it was faster than yours

594
00:25:16,428 --> 00:25:21,068
Speaker 7: because you didn't go to the combine.

595
00:25:21,308 --> 00:25:22,988
Speaker 5: I ran a four to three flat. So when it

596
00:25:23,108 --> 00:25:26,028
Speaker 5: comes to the forty or the drills, I'm cooking at.

597
00:25:25,948 --> 00:25:28,348
Speaker 7: The pro day, no laser time.

598
00:25:29,148 --> 00:25:30,388
Speaker 5: The second one was a four to three to two.

599
00:25:30,748 --> 00:25:33,268
Speaker 5: So when I'm talking about this, I'm going all in

600
00:25:33,348 --> 00:25:35,388
Speaker 5: on the forty. The guys I don't care about the

601
00:25:35,428 --> 00:25:38,748
Speaker 5: forty are the guys that aren't running. That's the point

602
00:25:38,748 --> 00:25:40,628
Speaker 5: I'm trying to make. So I want to see the

603
00:25:40,628 --> 00:25:42,748
Speaker 5: forty yard dash and then all the drills and stuff.

604
00:25:42,908 --> 00:25:44,628
Speaker 5: I'm just trying to see if they match up all right?

605
00:25:44,668 --> 00:25:46,308
Speaker 5: When he goes and does a vertical jump. I don't

606
00:25:46,308 --> 00:25:47,668
Speaker 5: want to see a guy running four to three but

607
00:25:47,708 --> 00:25:49,788
Speaker 5: then jump a thirty inch vertical jump. We need to

608
00:25:49,828 --> 00:25:52,868
Speaker 5: see that explosiveness at all angles. When I'm watching the drills,

609
00:25:52,948 --> 00:25:54,948
Speaker 5: I want to see, hey, does this forty yard dash

610
00:25:54,988 --> 00:25:56,708
Speaker 5: match up with what the film is that I'm watching

611
00:25:56,788 --> 00:25:58,828
Speaker 5: this guy getting rammed by as a corner, but then

612
00:25:58,828 --> 00:26:00,268
Speaker 5: if he comes out here it runs a four to three.

613
00:26:00,268 --> 00:26:01,828
Speaker 5: I'm like, well, I don't care about the fourth three

614
00:26:01,868 --> 00:26:04,028
Speaker 5: if you can't cover anybody. So I want to see

615
00:26:04,028 --> 00:26:05,708
Speaker 5: the four You see how it matches up to the

616
00:26:05,828 --> 00:26:07,828
Speaker 5: drills and the film. But I want to see guys

617
00:26:07,868 --> 00:26:09,028
Speaker 5: run fast. That's what I'm here for.

618
00:26:09,548 --> 00:26:12,028
Speaker 3: I mean, look, of course the drills, you're going to

619
00:26:12,068 --> 00:26:14,828
Speaker 3: see what translates actually on the field.

620
00:26:14,868 --> 00:26:15,748
Speaker 2: It makes more.

621
00:26:15,628 --> 00:26:18,748
Speaker 3: Sense a lot of times the context is there, But

622
00:26:18,868 --> 00:26:21,948
Speaker 3: come on, like, who doesn't like speed? I like fast cars,

623
00:26:21,988 --> 00:26:23,508
Speaker 3: fast planes, fast service.

624
00:26:23,668 --> 00:26:24,908
Speaker 2: Like the only thing I don't like is like a

625
00:26:24,948 --> 00:26:26,508
Speaker 2: speeding ticket, which you know what.

626
00:26:26,588 --> 00:26:28,428
Speaker 3: I'm impatience, So this all checks out.

627
00:26:28,468 --> 00:26:29,908
Speaker 2: I love a forty time.

628
00:26:30,268 --> 00:26:32,948
Speaker 3: I love, as I mentioned, watching the offensive lineman run

629
00:26:32,988 --> 00:26:33,388
Speaker 3: the forty.

630
00:26:33,428 --> 00:26:35,708
Speaker 2: It makes absolutely no sense.

631
00:26:35,748 --> 00:26:39,308
Speaker 3: But it's completely entertaining, and that's what we're all here for.

632
00:26:39,468 --> 00:26:42,028
Speaker 3: Like a lot of people complain that they have to

633
00:26:42,068 --> 00:26:44,348
Speaker 3: go to the combine and it's a long day and

634
00:26:44,388 --> 00:26:47,268
Speaker 3: it's quiet, and Lucas Oil like, maybe they need to

635
00:26:47,268 --> 00:26:48,548
Speaker 3: play some music a little bit.

636
00:26:48,548 --> 00:26:50,028
Speaker 2: I don't know, just throwing out some suggestions.

637
00:26:50,468 --> 00:26:53,948
Speaker 3: But for me watching those forties, it is just like

638
00:26:54,028 --> 00:26:57,428
Speaker 3: it's so much fun. And yeah, it doesn't necessarily always

639
00:26:57,708 --> 00:26:59,908
Speaker 3: make sense and translate to the game to the NFL,

640
00:26:59,948 --> 00:27:02,188
Speaker 3: but this is almost like its own separate game that we.

641
00:27:02,188 --> 00:27:02,908
Speaker 2: Get to watch.

642
00:27:03,668 --> 00:27:06,668
Speaker 4: No, I haven't, but remember you trying to catch a

643
00:27:06,668 --> 00:27:08,348
Speaker 4: ball from Kurt Warner and hurting yourself, So I don't

644
00:27:08,388 --> 00:27:09,748
Speaker 4: need you running afore Well.

645
00:27:09,588 --> 00:27:13,028
Speaker 3: That is something different, Peter, Why didn't ring?

646
00:27:13,948 --> 00:27:16,028
Speaker 8: I don't need you tear an a cl or pop.

647
00:27:17,028 --> 00:27:19,748
Speaker 2: I broke my finger when I caught the.

648
00:27:19,828 --> 00:27:21,268
Speaker 5: Yes, I know it was a real injury.

649
00:27:21,428 --> 00:27:26,428
Speaker 3: It actually at training camp so many times he was

650
00:27:26,428 --> 00:27:28,628
Speaker 3: like Kurt was like, just run a quick post and

651
00:27:28,668 --> 00:27:30,228
Speaker 3: I was like, okay, so I'm gonna run and catch

652
00:27:30,228 --> 00:27:30,908
Speaker 3: the ball at the same time.

653
00:27:30,908 --> 00:27:31,308
Speaker 2: That's fine.

654
00:27:31,548 --> 00:27:35,108
Speaker 3: Yeah, And I was like in my head, no matter

655
00:27:35,148 --> 00:27:37,268
Speaker 3: what happens, I will catch this ball.

656
00:27:37,348 --> 00:27:39,148
Speaker 2: I don't care if I have to lay.

657
00:27:38,988 --> 00:27:41,868
Speaker 3: Out, I will not use I can't because I have

658
00:27:41,988 --> 00:27:43,828
Speaker 3: one shot at this and then we have to go live.

659
00:27:44,668 --> 00:27:46,908
Speaker 3: And I caught the ball and it broke my finger

660
00:27:47,108 --> 00:27:50,508
Speaker 3: and it was like mallet finger, that's like what Holton had.

661
00:27:50,588 --> 00:27:53,748
Speaker 2: Yeah, so I had to wear this like weird brace.

662
00:27:53,468 --> 00:27:56,268
Speaker 3: On my finger for like three months and it looked

663
00:27:56,308 --> 00:27:58,668
Speaker 3: like a prosthetic pinky for a while, and I was

664
00:27:58,668 --> 00:28:00,508
Speaker 3: like TNF and it was kind of a nightmare.

665
00:28:00,548 --> 00:28:04,828
Speaker 2: But I caught the ball, and honestly, I'm so triggered

666
00:28:04,828 --> 00:28:05,188
Speaker 2: by that.

667
00:28:05,228 --> 00:28:08,668
Speaker 3: Peter whatever, No, I would probably pop my achilles.

668
00:28:09,308 --> 00:28:12,348
Speaker 2: Let's not do it, delicate flower. I am all right,

669
00:28:12,428 --> 00:28:12,708
Speaker 2: We're the.

670
00:28:12,628 --> 00:28:13,908
Speaker 5: First round picking my bucket.

671
00:28:13,948 --> 00:28:22,668

674

675
00:28:32,308 --> 00:28:34,708
Speaker 10: like a rocket, gets away. He's gonna be chasing the

676
00:28:34,708 --> 00:28:37,268
Speaker 10: back fielding snake. He pulls down at the thirty seven

677
00:28:37,348 --> 00:28:40,388
Speaker 10: yard line. That's a quarterback sacked by Lavante David.

678
00:28:43,068 --> 00:28:43,908

685
00:29:07,108 --> 00:29:10,188
Speaker 5: gonna be thirty four years old right now, and we

686
00:29:10,348 --> 00:29:12,748
Speaker 5: need to know are you slowing down? Are you thinking

687
00:29:12,748 --> 00:29:15,548
Speaker 5: about retirement? Are you looking to continue to play? What's

688
00:29:15,748 --> 00:29:19,028
Speaker 5: in the future for Levonte david Man.

689
00:29:19,188 --> 00:29:20,828
Speaker 9: I mean, I'm ready to play still.

690
00:29:20,868 --> 00:29:22,428
Speaker 11: I still feel like I got a lot left in

691
00:29:22,468 --> 00:29:24,388
Speaker 11: me and still don't give him a shot.

692
00:29:24,468 --> 00:29:26,468
Speaker 9: And you know, I'm gonna just let my body till.

693
00:29:26,388 --> 00:29:28,788
Speaker 11: When they kind of give up. I'm kind of ready

694
00:29:28,828 --> 00:29:31,268
Speaker 11: to go. But you know, right now, you know, I

695
00:29:31,348 --> 00:29:33,348
Speaker 11: feel pretty good. You know, I got a lot of confidence,

696
00:29:33,468 --> 00:29:35,668
Speaker 11: especially out of the season I just had. You know,

697
00:29:35,708 --> 00:29:38,108
Speaker 11: I've been hearing a lot of you know, praise and

698
00:29:38,108 --> 00:29:40,708
Speaker 11: stuff like that. And then for you know, a guy

699
00:29:40,828 --> 00:29:42,428
Speaker 11: like me up there in age, you.

700
00:29:42,348 --> 00:29:43,948
Speaker 9: Know, I like to hear that. So it's definitely just

701
00:29:44,028 --> 00:29:46,028
Speaker 9: be tough, you know, to keep it on.

702
00:29:47,828 --> 00:29:49,788
Speaker 4: Look you're one of the greatest Buccaneers ever. I don't

703
00:29:49,788 --> 00:29:52,548
Speaker 4: think it's an exaggeration to say that. You're talking about

704
00:29:52,588 --> 00:29:56,028
Speaker 4: Derek Brooks, Warren Sap, John Lynch, Rende, Barber Levante. David,

705
00:29:56,068 --> 00:29:59,028
Speaker 4: You're in the conversation and yet here you are this

706
00:29:59,228 --> 00:30:02,068
Speaker 4: free agency and you could go elsewhere.

707
00:30:02,228 --> 00:30:04,228
Speaker 8: But yet there's got to be a.

708
00:30:04,148 --> 00:30:06,188
Speaker 4: Way in an avenue for you to retire a buccaneer

709
00:30:06,268 --> 00:30:08,068
Speaker 4: and go wire to wire. Have you spoken with Jason

710
00:30:08,188 --> 00:30:10,748
Speaker 4: Light and Mike Greenberg and Todd Bowles and what's that

711
00:30:10,788 --> 00:30:13,948
Speaker 4: conversation been? And gosh, what an interesting crossroads during your

712
00:30:13,988 --> 00:30:16,028
Speaker 4: career because last year, like you said, you're absolutely bald.

713
00:30:16,868 --> 00:30:20,308
Speaker 11: Yeah, I mean, you know, it's just communication. Haven't really

714
00:30:20,388 --> 00:30:22,468
Speaker 11: like started up yet and nothing like that. But just

715
00:30:22,508 --> 00:30:25,268
Speaker 11: you know, throughout the season and the exit meetings, you know,

716
00:30:25,748 --> 00:30:27,788
Speaker 11: we all expressed how we feel about one another. Now

717
00:30:28,068 --> 00:30:29,988
Speaker 11: they would love for me to be back, and I

718
00:30:30,908 --> 00:30:32,148
Speaker 11: would love to be back as well.

719
00:30:32,228 --> 00:30:35,588
Speaker 9: But you know, this is like my third creiency just

720
00:30:35,588 --> 00:30:38,108
Speaker 9: figuring out how everything goes down. You never know what happened.

721
00:30:39,588 --> 00:30:42,468
Speaker 9: You know, it's a lot of you know, mutual respect from.

722
00:30:42,068 --> 00:30:45,548
Speaker 11: Me and the Buccaneers ogization but you know, a lot

723
00:30:45,548 --> 00:30:48,468
Speaker 11: of things has to happen, and just never know, you

724
00:30:48,548 --> 00:30:50,828
Speaker 11: never know. A lot of said before I would love

725
00:30:50,868 --> 00:30:54,228
Speaker 11: to retire buccaneer. Like you said, man, feed up, be

726
00:30:54,388 --> 00:30:57,308
Speaker 11: up there with all those great names, you know, those guys.

727
00:30:57,468 --> 00:31:01,748
Speaker 11: But uh, you know, I I'm not naive to the

728
00:31:01,748 --> 00:31:04,588
Speaker 11: fact that you know, somebody else can probably come keep

729
00:31:04,628 --> 00:31:04,908
Speaker 11: me up.

730
00:31:04,948 --> 00:31:09,588
Speaker 9: So you know, definitely open to all options, options or whatever.

731
00:31:10,348 --> 00:31:14,588
Speaker 7: Well, I'm always pro player, uh, being a player. You

732
00:31:14,628 --> 00:31:19,748
Speaker 7: are the most underrated linebacker of our generation playing. Your

733
00:31:19,828 --> 00:31:22,068
Speaker 7: name should be up there with the Bobby Wagners of

734
00:31:22,108 --> 00:31:27,148
Speaker 7: the world. I respect your game fullheartedly. I think you're amazing.

735
00:31:27,588 --> 00:31:30,308
Speaker 7: But as the respect goes, your name has been thrown

736
00:31:30,348 --> 00:31:33,868
Speaker 7: around a lot. At the combine, these young defensive prospects

737
00:31:34,028 --> 00:31:38,508
Speaker 7: have mentioned your name attached to words like passionate, legendary,

738
00:31:38,628 --> 00:31:41,148
Speaker 7: and your role model. What's it like here in that

739
00:31:41,228 --> 00:31:44,508
Speaker 7: phrase from the younger generation of the players.

740
00:31:45,388 --> 00:31:48,308
Speaker 9: Oh, it's a blessing, man, It's definitely a blessing. You know.

741
00:31:48,548 --> 00:31:51,068
Speaker 11: Sometimes you know a lot of these young kids kind

742
00:31:51,068 --> 00:31:53,308
Speaker 11: of like be you know, stuck up in their ways

743
00:31:53,388 --> 00:31:55,828
Speaker 11: or whatever, just don't want to know you've got their

744
00:31:55,868 --> 00:31:57,828
Speaker 11: prosper to see a lot of those kids, you know,

745
00:31:58,028 --> 00:32:01,468
Speaker 11: just call my name out and study guys who like

746
00:32:01,548 --> 00:32:04,068
Speaker 11: I feel like, you know, you know, like the you know,

747
00:32:04,108 --> 00:32:08,468
Speaker 11: the guy playing my position. For them to say my

748
00:32:08,588 --> 00:32:11,268
Speaker 11: name is definitely a blessing. I just remember when a

749
00:32:11,548 --> 00:32:14,628
Speaker 11: young guys, so Dennis, when he came in, you know,

750
00:32:14,708 --> 00:32:17,428
Speaker 11: he expressed to me how he by me and how

751
00:32:17,428 --> 00:32:19,668
Speaker 11: he looked up to me. So I kind of like,

752
00:32:20,068 --> 00:32:21,628
Speaker 11: you know, put me in a different mode, just like

753
00:32:21,708 --> 00:32:23,668
Speaker 11: being a better role model, just trying to con team

754
00:32:24,188 --> 00:32:25,428
Speaker 11: the team to play that role.

755
00:32:26,108 --> 00:32:28,988
Speaker 9: Tina, you guy, you know, even though I may not

756
00:32:29,028 --> 00:32:31,948
Speaker 9: be hands on, but playing what they see you on

757
00:32:32,108 --> 00:32:32,788
Speaker 9: a off the field.

758
00:32:34,828 --> 00:32:38,308
Speaker 3: Levante, I feel like you've never received the recognition that

759
00:32:38,388 --> 00:32:41,188
Speaker 3: you should for the way that you play in this league,

760
00:32:41,228 --> 00:32:43,628
Speaker 3: for the amount of time that you've spent the consistency

761
00:32:43,788 --> 00:32:47,108
Speaker 3: as well. But you know, there, I can't even imagine

762
00:32:47,108 --> 00:32:50,188
Speaker 3: you actually being on a different team than the Tampa

763
00:32:50,228 --> 00:32:53,868
Speaker 3: Bay Buccaneers. You have been such a lynchpin for that defense.

764
00:32:53,908 --> 00:32:56,468
Speaker 3: But there are a couple other free agents that are

765
00:32:56,508 --> 00:33:00,028
Speaker 3: on that defense that are impending free agents, like Devin White,

766
00:33:00,388 --> 00:33:03,588
Speaker 3: and you've played with him five seasons at this point,

767
00:33:03,588 --> 00:33:07,908
Speaker 3: what's it like to watch him grow and improve his

768
00:33:07,988 --> 00:33:10,708
Speaker 3: game and how important is it for Tampa to have

769
00:33:10,828 --> 00:33:11,748
Speaker 3: him back next season?

770
00:33:12,908 --> 00:33:16,228
Speaker 11: Oh man, you know me watching coming in, you know,

771
00:33:16,268 --> 00:33:17,988
Speaker 11: watching Devin, you know, sister Luchie.

772
00:33:18,228 --> 00:33:21,308
Speaker 9: Just allow him to just grow to you know, the

773
00:33:21,348 --> 00:33:23,508
Speaker 9: player that he is today, and for.

774
00:33:23,508 --> 00:33:26,268
Speaker 11: Him just reaching out to me, you know, asking for

775
00:33:26,308 --> 00:33:28,828
Speaker 11: advice and uh, you know me learning some stuff from

776
00:33:28,908 --> 00:33:31,868
Speaker 11: him as well, and uh, just understanding when you play.

777
00:33:31,668 --> 00:33:33,348
Speaker 9: With the guys for five years to kind of get.

778
00:33:33,188 --> 00:33:35,348
