00:00:37,388 --> 00:00:39,508
Speaker 4: there's been plenty of dB talk, which is now segued

9
00:00:39,548 --> 00:00:43,308
Speaker 4: into wrestling talk in the commercial breaks. But we'll get

10
00:00:43,348 --> 00:00:46,628
Speaker 4: to football talk coming up. As this off season is

11
00:00:46,668 --> 00:00:49,628
Speaker 4: really dwindling down. Guys, it's about to get real. But

12
00:00:49,868 --> 00:00:50,828
Speaker 4: what did you say earlier?

13
00:00:50,908 --> 00:00:51,188

Speaker 2: Season's six more days of content.

16
00:00:55,548 --> 00:00:58,428
Speaker 4: We got to provide some content here. So now it's

17
00:00:58,508 --> 00:01:00,148
Speaker 4: time for the lead block.

18
00:01:02,268 --> 00:01:04,028
Speaker 3: How about some Seahawks content.

19
00:01:04,988 --> 00:01:07,868
Speaker 4: Jackson Smith and Jigba became the first wide receiver off

20
00:01:07,908 --> 00:01:11,188
Speaker 4: the draft board as the twentieth overall selection, the former

21
00:01:11,188 --> 00:01:14,548
Speaker 4: Buck Guy joining a talented Seattle wide receiver room that

22
00:01:14,588 --> 00:01:18,628
Speaker 4: includes DK Metcalf and Tyler Lockett and Jim John Schnyder

23
00:01:18,668 --> 00:01:21,788
Speaker 4: spoke highly of Jackson at the Seahawks Rookie Spotlight.

24
00:01:24,028 --> 00:01:29,388
Speaker 6: The work ethic, the character, the talent and him knowing like, hey,

25
00:01:29,388 --> 00:01:31,828
Speaker 6: look like that was great. He's kind of like, yeah,

26
00:01:31,948 --> 00:01:34,908
Speaker 6: like we said, the rose bowling and that's unbelievab. He's

27
00:01:34,908 --> 00:01:37,188
Speaker 6: always gonna have that in his back pocket. But his

28
00:01:37,308 --> 00:01:40,988
Speaker 6: ceiling is off the chain, like that Jackie. That sounded

29
00:01:41,028 --> 00:01:45,268
Speaker 6: like a totally good guy, off the chain, off the charts.

30
00:01:44,988 --> 00:01:45,068
Speaker 7: And.

31
00:01:47,508 --> 00:01:49,028
Speaker 2: Really it's not even filling more.

32
00:01:50,428 --> 00:01:53,668
Speaker 8: Has been fourteen years. What's it take to be i mean,

33
00:01:53,828 --> 00:01:56,468
Speaker 8: a really good slap receiver.

34
00:01:56,668 --> 00:01:58,868
Speaker 1: Yeah, I'll just say being quarterback Friendlin.

35
00:01:59,108 --> 00:02:01,828
Speaker 9: You know, you're the closest lining up to him, so

36
00:02:02,348 --> 00:02:05,748
Speaker 9: for you to be a reliable Tarnia is very key.

37
00:02:06,228 --> 00:02:07,028
Speaker 5: I feel like I have.

38
00:02:07,028 --> 00:02:12,348
Speaker 4: Those after views from one Seahawk to another, both new Seahawks, Julian,

39
00:02:12,428 --> 00:02:15,068
Speaker 4: How confident are you that your new team will build

40
00:02:15,108 --> 00:02:17,988
Speaker 4: off last season's surprising success.

41
00:02:18,148 --> 00:02:19,268
Speaker 10: Of course, I'm profident.

42
00:02:20,308 --> 00:02:23,788
Speaker 4: I don't know, Sarah, I'm not feeling great about it. Yeah, exactly.

43
00:02:23,868 --> 00:02:25,788
Speaker 11: No, I feel real confident about the group we have.

44
00:02:25,948 --> 00:02:28,068
Speaker 11: You know, last year, it just does a good John

45
00:02:28,108 --> 00:02:29,788
Speaker 11: Schnyder and Picot just does a good job and they

46
00:02:29,868 --> 00:02:32,268
Speaker 11: hit big on some key rookies, some overlooked rookies. You know,

47
00:02:32,308 --> 00:02:34,828
Speaker 11: they got Treik wooland they got Ken Walker, they got

48
00:02:34,908 --> 00:02:37,668
Speaker 11: Charles Cross, Abram Lucas. They hit big on some key

49
00:02:37,788 --> 00:02:40,588
Speaker 11: positions and guys really held their own.

50
00:02:40,468 --> 00:02:41,828
Speaker 10: As rookies, which is huge.

51
00:02:41,868 --> 00:02:44,148
Speaker 11: And then they follow that up by drafting Devin Win

52
00:02:44,188 --> 00:02:46,348
Speaker 11: this spoon with the fifth overall pick and Jackson Smith

53
00:02:46,388 --> 00:02:47,868
Speaker 11: and Jig But as you saw in the first round

54
00:02:47,868 --> 00:02:50,308
Speaker 11: this year, they got Derek Hall, some other key rookies,

55
00:02:50,588 --> 00:02:53,508
Speaker 11: talented rookies, guys I've been around. There are studs that

56
00:02:53,628 --> 00:02:57,068
Speaker 11: they signed me, they signed Draymond Jones. They're getting We're

57
00:02:57,068 --> 00:02:59,748
Speaker 11: getting a team together right now, and yeah, I feel confident.

58
00:02:59,988 --> 00:03:02,868
Speaker 11: All it takes now is, you know, it's one thing

59
00:03:02,868 --> 00:03:05,188
Speaker 11: that look good on paper. I don't like talking about potential.

60
00:03:05,388 --> 00:03:07,428
Speaker 11: It looks good on paper. What it takes now is

61
00:03:07,548 --> 00:03:09,308
Speaker 11: for those year two guys to take that next step

62
00:03:09,388 --> 00:03:11,948
Speaker 11: up as well, for rookies to learn and make mistakes fast,

63
00:03:12,028 --> 00:03:13,788
Speaker 11: and for the leaders to continue leading. You know, there's

64
00:03:13,828 --> 00:03:17,388
Speaker 11: a great leadership with Gino Smithandre Diggs, Jamal Adams obviously,

65
00:03:17,468 --> 00:03:18,788
Speaker 11: DK and Tyler Lockett.

66
00:03:18,868 --> 00:03:20,428
Speaker 10: A studs across the board.

67
00:03:20,468 --> 00:03:23,908
Speaker 11: We got Bobby backed Bobby and so when you look

68
00:03:23,908 --> 00:03:25,868
Speaker 11: at our team, I think we have a lot of

69
00:03:26,108 --> 00:03:28,508
Speaker 11: talented guys, a lot of guys who are good leaders,

70
00:03:28,508 --> 00:03:30,868
Speaker 11: who know how to play well together. And now this

71
00:03:30,948 --> 00:03:32,268
Speaker 11: training camp is important.

72
00:03:31,908 --> 00:03:33,668
Speaker 3: For us, even maybe more important.

73
00:03:33,668 --> 00:03:37,228
Speaker 4: Schneider's selling of off the chain were did he sell it?

74
00:03:37,668 --> 00:03:40,468
Speaker 5: Oh my gosh, no, Attle, you got to get him

75
00:03:40,468 --> 00:03:43,788
Speaker 5: a little flat we get back in the building. To me,

76
00:03:43,828 --> 00:03:46,428
Speaker 5: the Seahawks were the biggest surprise of last season, the

77
00:03:46,428 --> 00:03:50,308
Speaker 5: biggest positive surprise. And the question always is were they

78
00:03:50,348 --> 00:03:52,908
Speaker 5: are one hit wonder? My answer is no. And I

79
00:03:52,908 --> 00:03:55,948
Speaker 5: will start with Geno Smith because he was a guy

80
00:03:56,228 --> 00:03:58,908
Speaker 5: placing Russell Wilson didn't have a lot of the expectations.

81
00:03:59,028 --> 00:04:01,948
Speaker 5: This was his first opportunity eight years to become a starter.

82
00:04:01,988 --> 00:04:04,068
Speaker 5: A lot of times you don't get that second opportunity

83
00:04:04,628 --> 00:04:07,508
Speaker 5: that must time. He was excellent. People don't realize how

84
00:04:07,508 --> 00:04:09,668
Speaker 5: great he was. And it wasn't just a checkdown offense.

85
00:04:09,788 --> 00:04:11,748
Speaker 5: He made a lot of big throws down the field,

86
00:04:11,788 --> 00:04:13,948
Speaker 5: He was not afraid, and he still had a seventy

87
00:04:13,988 --> 00:04:16,108
Speaker 5: percent completion rate. I think this is a start of

88
00:04:16,108 --> 00:04:19,108
Speaker 5: a second half of his career resurgence for Gino Smith.

89
00:04:19,268 --> 00:04:21,948
Speaker 5: And you talked about Jackson Smith and Jigba. That offense

90
00:04:22,028 --> 00:04:25,268
Speaker 5: was already very good. The one flaw was one of

91
00:04:25,308 --> 00:04:27,828
Speaker 5: the worst teams in throwing in the slot last year.

92
00:04:27,988 --> 00:04:30,348
Speaker 5: You add Jackson Smith and Jigba. They seem like they

93
00:04:30,388 --> 00:04:32,428
Speaker 5: want to have him be a true slot receiver, which

94
00:04:32,468 --> 00:04:35,148
Speaker 5: is what he does best. Add him with DK Metcalf

95
00:04:35,388 --> 00:04:37,708
Speaker 5: with Tyler Lockett, and then on the other side of

96
00:04:37,708 --> 00:04:41,228
Speaker 5: the ball, you added Julian Love. But they also added Witherspoon,

97
00:04:41,308 --> 00:04:44,948
Speaker 5: who I love. In the draft the twig Willen was great.

98
00:04:45,388 --> 00:04:47,308
Speaker 5: He needs a pairing on the other side, and now

99
00:04:47,308 --> 00:04:50,308
Speaker 5: he has that. Witherspoon, add and Julian Love. This team's

100
00:04:50,428 --> 00:04:53,188
Speaker 5: very complete. I still think the Eagles are the class

101
00:04:53,188 --> 00:04:55,228
Speaker 5: at the NFC. But why can't the Seahawks be two.

102
00:04:55,548 --> 00:04:57,548
Speaker 5: Why can't they win the NFC West and beat the

103
00:04:57,588 --> 00:05:00,308
Speaker 5: forty nine ers team that has a lot of uncertainty

104
00:05:00,388 --> 00:05:01,868
Speaker 5: with their quarterback situation right now.

105
00:05:01,948 --> 00:05:05,188
Speaker 8: Well, I think that's what people are expecting after what

106
00:05:05,228 --> 00:05:08,228
Speaker 8: they were able to accomplish in Seattle last year with

107
00:05:08,268 --> 00:05:11,668
Speaker 8: the resurgence of Gino Smith. I assume that the expectations

108
00:05:11,668 --> 00:05:13,828
Speaker 8: are going to be at a very high pitched level

109
00:05:13,908 --> 00:05:16,548
Speaker 8: to do exactly that in a division where your real

110
00:05:16,708 --> 00:05:19,548
Speaker 8: only competition, I feel is going to be in the

111
00:05:19,548 --> 00:05:22,788
Speaker 8: Bay there in San Francisco, air Zona Cardinals are going

112
00:05:22,828 --> 00:05:24,668
Speaker 8: to struggle a lot, and I think Los Angeles is

113
00:05:24,668 --> 00:05:26,388
Speaker 8: going to have to figure out where they're going next.

114
00:05:26,428 --> 00:05:29,468
Speaker 8: So this is a perfect opportunity for Seattle to take

115
00:05:29,468 --> 00:05:32,908
Speaker 8: that next step outside the Russell Wilson era. Unfortunately, I

116
00:05:33,028 --> 00:05:34,908
Speaker 8: do think they come back to the pack just a

117
00:05:34,948 --> 00:05:38,268
Speaker 8: little bit. I think defensive coordinators had nothing prepared really

118
00:05:38,308 --> 00:05:40,428
Speaker 8: for Gino Smith heading into last year. We've seen that

119
00:05:40,548 --> 00:05:42,668
Speaker 8: take place in other situations when you don't know who

120
00:05:42,708 --> 00:05:44,148
Speaker 8: the quarterback is going to be. I do think there's

121
00:05:44,148 --> 00:05:45,468
Speaker 8: going to be a plan in place to maybe try

122
00:05:45,468 --> 00:05:46,988
Speaker 8: to limit him a little bit. But I don't think

123
00:05:47,028 --> 00:05:49,548
Speaker 8: this team gets worse. I think they stay around the same.

124
00:05:49,588 --> 00:05:51,148
Speaker 8: It just may come back to the pack a little bit.

125
00:05:51,148 --> 00:05:53,068
Speaker 8: They're going to be in a situation where they're vying

126
00:05:53,108 --> 00:05:56,228
Speaker 8: for that final playoff spot, the six or seventh playoff spot,

127
00:05:56,428 --> 00:05:59,948
Speaker 8: alongside the likes of the Chicago Bears, Atlanta Falcons, Green

128
00:05:59,988 --> 00:06:02,868
Speaker 8: Bay Packers, New York Giants. I think that little clump

129
00:06:02,868 --> 00:06:05,268
Speaker 8: of teams right there kind of sit outside in the

130
00:06:05,308 --> 00:06:07,268
Speaker 8: division or teams that are gonna be playing for so

131
00:06:07,308 --> 00:06:10,228
Speaker 8: one surprised me at all if they're playing on Wildcar

132
00:06:10,308 --> 00:06:12,748
Speaker 8: weekend and upset somebody to get to the divisional weekend.

133
00:06:12,988 --> 00:06:15,748
Speaker 4: Kim, you touched on its people questioning is this a

134
00:06:15,868 --> 00:06:19,188
Speaker 4: one hit wonder and show me this Seattle defensive stars

135
00:06:19,188 --> 00:06:21,028
Speaker 4: and then we talked about Geno a lot. But the

136
00:06:21,108 --> 00:06:24,428
Speaker 4: Seattle defense was really really good. And when you look

137
00:06:24,428 --> 00:06:27,548
Speaker 4: at some of these guys that starred on defense and

138
00:06:27,588 --> 00:06:29,588
Speaker 4: their ages, I don't know if we can pull it up,

139
00:06:29,628 --> 00:06:32,908
Speaker 4: but I mean these are all like young, young studs.

140
00:06:32,948 --> 00:06:35,788
Speaker 4: So when we talk about was it just like a window, No, no, no,

141
00:06:35,828 --> 00:06:38,948
Speaker 4: these guys are only going to get better and more experience.

142
00:06:39,028 --> 00:06:41,388
Speaker 4: And I mean you look down the list of everybody

143
00:06:41,428 --> 00:06:42,788
Speaker 4: that they have and just some.

144
00:06:42,748 --> 00:06:44,628
Speaker 3: Of these names who they've drafted.

145
00:06:44,668 --> 00:06:47,388
Speaker 4: Obviously they had a super successful draft, but like, let

146
00:06:47,388 --> 00:06:49,308
Speaker 4: me just go down a couple of these guys. Jordan

147
00:06:49,308 --> 00:06:52,588
Speaker 4: Brooks is twenty five, Darrel's Harold twenty six, Devin Witherston's

148
00:06:52,668 --> 00:06:56,108
Speaker 4: twenty two, Treek Willen's twenty four, Julian You hear some

149
00:06:56,148 --> 00:06:59,028
Speaker 4: of those names, given what they did and their ages,

150
00:06:59,548 --> 00:07:01,828
Speaker 4: and that has to just get you psyched about this

151
00:07:01,948 --> 00:07:02,948
Speaker 4: defense and joining it.

152
00:07:03,148 --> 00:07:06,228
Speaker 11: Yeah, I mean, I'm super about you know, this defense

153
00:07:06,308 --> 00:07:06,948
Speaker 11: is secondary.

154
00:07:07,148 --> 00:07:11,548
Speaker 10: I'm twenty five for those conversation.

155
00:07:13,588 --> 00:07:16,108
Speaker 11: But the secondary is great because you know, you have

156
00:07:16,188 --> 00:07:18,748
Speaker 11: obviously we haveted a little spoon with aspoon.

157
00:07:19,028 --> 00:07:21,988
Speaker 10: You got Tarreguilam. But Mike Jackson also is a very talented.

158
00:07:21,628 --> 00:07:24,628
Speaker 11: Corner NFL ready corner who plays at a high level,

159
00:07:24,668 --> 00:07:25,748
Speaker 11: has some experience across the leak.

160
00:07:25,828 --> 00:07:26,988
Speaker 10: Kobe Bryant had a.

161
00:07:26,948 --> 00:07:30,148
Speaker 11: Great rookie year in the nickel, in the in the slot,

162
00:07:30,188 --> 00:07:32,908
Speaker 11: which is probably the toughest persison to play because you

163
00:07:32,908 --> 00:07:35,188
Speaker 11: have a lot going on. He did a great job.

164
00:07:35,348 --> 00:07:37,188
Speaker 11: He's going to try to take a next step. A

165
00:07:37,228 --> 00:07:39,948
Speaker 11: talented guy as well. And yeah, you give me Jamal Qandre.

166
00:07:40,508 --> 00:07:44,388
Speaker 11: It's a good cast around this defensive backfield. And then yeah,

167
00:07:44,428 --> 00:07:46,868
Speaker 11: getting Bobby back, like I mentioned earlier, is huge. This

168
00:07:46,948 --> 00:07:49,148
Speaker 11: guy is a leader. We needed kind of a center

169
00:07:49,148 --> 00:07:52,108
Speaker 11: having Jordan Brothers. Hopefully he gets healthy soon. You know,

170
00:07:52,108 --> 00:07:54,948
Speaker 11: the D lines revamped and so yeah, right now it

171
00:07:54,988 --> 00:07:57,508
Speaker 11: looks promising. I'm excited being out there this spring for

172
00:07:57,548 --> 00:08:00,188
Speaker 11: this OTA period was fun because I get to understand,

173
00:08:00,308 --> 00:08:02,588
Speaker 11: you know, the defensive scheme, You get to know the coaches,

174
00:08:02,788 --> 00:08:04,908
Speaker 11: get to know the players kind of get that from right,

175
00:08:04,948 --> 00:08:06,908
Speaker 11: because that's what we'll take going into this year. It's

176
00:08:06,908 --> 00:08:09,548
Speaker 11: supposed to be tight from the jump. There's no chance,

177
00:08:09,588 --> 00:08:11,908
Speaker 11: you know, last year's Seattle started a little slower. There's

178
00:08:11,908 --> 00:08:14,348
Speaker 11: no chance for that, or there's no possibility. There's no

179
00:08:14,628 --> 00:08:17,028
Speaker 11: way we can start slow for us to be successful

180
00:08:17,028 --> 00:08:18,348
Speaker 11: down the road. So we have to have a fast start,

181
00:08:18,388 --> 00:08:21,348
Speaker 11: and that takes place in training camp, the preseason, getting

182
00:08:21,348 --> 00:08:23,348
Speaker 11: that chemistry right and just bonding as a team.

183
00:08:23,548 --> 00:08:26,068
Speaker 4: Do you like that the Niners get so much attention?

184
00:08:26,188 --> 00:08:28,868
Speaker 4: Do you guys feel disrespected or do you like that

185
00:08:28,948 --> 00:08:31,708
Speaker 4: you can kind of just sit up in that Northwest corner,

186
00:08:31,748 --> 00:08:33,468
Speaker 4: go ahead and give them all the attention and let

187
00:08:33,548 --> 00:08:35,708
Speaker 4: us to I just am curious, like on the flip

188
00:08:35,748 --> 00:08:37,868
Speaker 4: side of that, are you annoyed by it or do

189
00:08:37,908 --> 00:08:38,348
Speaker 4: you like it?

190
00:08:38,508 --> 00:08:38,628
Speaker 5: No?

191
00:08:38,748 --> 00:08:43,748
Speaker 11: I mean, listen, I'm never annoyed at other success. You

192
00:08:43,788 --> 00:08:45,388
Speaker 11: can put a chip on your shoulder if you want

193
00:08:45,388 --> 00:08:48,468
Speaker 11: and say yeah or disrespected. The Niners have it in

194
00:08:48,628 --> 00:08:51,068
Speaker 11: NFC West, but it's not that case. You know, it's

195
00:08:51,188 --> 00:08:53,588
Speaker 11: a situation where we like to work in the shadows,

196
00:08:53,748 --> 00:08:56,308
Speaker 11: you know, where Pete Carroll always has harpening on. We're

197
00:08:56,348 --> 00:08:58,428
Speaker 11: gonna go about of work. People might not be talking

198
00:08:58,468 --> 00:09:00,468
Speaker 11: about us, that's okay. They weren't talking about us last year.

199
00:09:00,748 --> 00:09:02,948
Speaker 11: They were talking down on our draft picks. And those

200
00:09:02,948 --> 00:09:05,548
Speaker 11: guys turn out great, and so there there's a you know,

201
00:09:05,588 --> 00:09:06,948
Speaker 11: there's something brewing up there and.

202
00:09:07,068 --> 00:09:08,908
Speaker 10: Uh, Seattle, it's not just the coffee.

203
00:09:09,268 --> 00:09:09,388
Speaker 7: Uh.

204
00:09:10,308 --> 00:09:12,908
Speaker 10: And so we're excited to take shape of that this year.

205
00:09:13,148 --> 00:09:13,348
Speaker 2: Yeah.

206
00:09:13,388 --> 00:09:15,668
Speaker 11: And I mean there's gonna be some trash talk, you know,

207
00:09:15,708 --> 00:09:17,828
Speaker 11: that's kind of synonymous with the Seahawks brand.

208
00:09:18,188 --> 00:09:20,748
Speaker 10: But we're gonna do We're gonna play ball the right

209
00:09:20,788 --> 00:09:21,508
Speaker 10: way for sure this year.

210
00:09:21,628 --> 00:09:23,468
Speaker 5: Julian, you mentioned the draft picks Trek Wool and we

211
00:09:23,468 --> 00:09:25,868
Speaker 5: talked about dbs. He belongs in one of the top

212
00:09:25,948 --> 00:09:28,988
Speaker 5: DBS based on how he played last year. Briefly, I'm

213
00:09:29,028 --> 00:09:31,548
Speaker 5: looking at the Seahawks schedule. There's a game in there

214
00:09:31,588 --> 00:09:34,308
Speaker 5: that maybe Seahawks fans aren't thinking about, but maybe you

215
00:09:34,348 --> 00:09:37,308
Speaker 5: are against the Giants. What what do we what should

216
00:09:37,308 --> 00:09:40,348
Speaker 5: we expect when when you play your old team next season?

217
00:09:40,628 --> 00:09:40,828
Speaker 7: Yeah?

218
00:09:40,868 --> 00:09:44,228
Speaker 11: We I think Week four, Monday night football and football

219
00:09:44,308 --> 00:09:48,748
Speaker 11: and it's about hours of last now.

220
00:09:48,028 --> 00:09:50,508
Speaker 5: Uh, you know what it offers right now.

221
00:09:50,788 --> 00:09:52,628
Speaker 10: It'll be excited to get back to met Life. You know,

222
00:09:52,668 --> 00:09:53,588
Speaker 10: I enjoyed playing there.

223
00:09:53,628 --> 00:09:55,268
Speaker 11: But yeah, we're you know, that's early in the year

224
00:09:55,308 --> 00:09:57,548
Speaker 11: and so those first few games are key in starting

225
00:09:57,588 --> 00:10:00,028
Speaker 11: the season off right. And so you know, I won't

226
00:10:00,028 --> 00:10:01,788
Speaker 11: make anything bigger than it is. It'll be good to

227
00:10:01,788 --> 00:10:04,548
Speaker 11: see former players, some former friends, former coaches, a all

228
00:10:04,548 --> 00:10:07,828
Speaker 11: that stuff. But we're gonna, you know, hopefully go in there.

229
00:10:08,028 --> 00:10:09,548
Speaker 11: It's a week one. We're gonna start a week one

230
00:10:09,748 --> 00:10:11,228
Speaker 11: on the right foot, and that's the only.

231
00:10:11,108 --> 00:10:11,508
Speaker 10: Goal we have.

232
00:10:11,708 --> 00:10:13,228
Speaker 5: Wouldn't hurt to get a pick that day, though, it

233
00:10:13,228 --> 00:10:13,988

Speaker 11: Now the Raiders at a big defensive piece in the

263
00:12:05,348 --> 00:12:08,228
Speaker 11: NFL draft with Tyree Wilson. You already have Max Crosby

264
00:12:08,348 --> 00:12:11,068
Speaker 11: and Chaylin Jones. How does Wilson change the dynamics of

265
00:12:11,108 --> 00:12:14,188
Speaker 11: the Raiders d and what's the potential for the biggest defense.

266
00:12:14,628 --> 00:12:17,668
Speaker 7: Yeah, so Tyree, he has all the tools, he could

267
00:12:17,708 --> 00:12:21,108
Speaker 7: be a great player. And him, myself, everybody else, we're

268
00:12:21,148 --> 00:12:23,708
Speaker 7: just fighting healthy team. You know, we all want to

269
00:12:23,708 --> 00:12:25,988
Speaker 7: be part of something bigger than ourselves. It's not just

270
00:12:26,028 --> 00:12:29,028
Speaker 7: about us, It's not just about the defense. It's about

271
00:12:29,068 --> 00:12:31,788
Speaker 7: the team. And when we put the team first, the

272
00:12:31,828 --> 00:12:33,428
Speaker 7: possibilities are endless.

273
00:12:34,068 --> 00:12:37,708
Speaker 4: You're entering your second NFL season. Last year you got

274
00:12:37,748 --> 00:12:39,788
Speaker 4: to play with the pretty exciting quarterback and Derek Carr.

275
00:12:39,868 --> 00:12:42,148
Speaker 4: This year, there's been so much talk about your new quarterback,

276
00:12:42,348 --> 00:12:45,028
Speaker 4: Jimmy Garoppolo is going to be under center. Why is

277
00:12:45,148 --> 00:12:48,148
Speaker 4: Jimmy the right guy to lead this Raiders offense right now?

278
00:12:48,348 --> 00:12:50,268
Speaker 7: A ton of respect for Derek, a ton of respect

279
00:12:50,308 --> 00:12:53,468
Speaker 7: for Jimmy. I've had opportunities to really have real conversations

280
00:12:53,508 --> 00:12:56,628
Speaker 7: with both of them. Jimmy he's a great player and

281
00:12:56,668 --> 00:13:00,548
Speaker 7: he's had great success in this league in different circumstances

282
00:13:00,588 --> 00:13:04,188
Speaker 7: and situations and one thing about us. We trust that

283
00:13:04,428 --> 00:13:06,988
Speaker 7: we're gonna put the best players in the best position

284
00:13:07,708 --> 00:13:11,228
Speaker 7: to win games and put us in position to have

285
00:13:11,268 --> 00:13:14,268
Speaker 7: all the success that we want. So definitely it's a

286
00:13:14,308 --> 00:13:18,668
Speaker 7: trust thing. We definitely trust upstairs, our coaches and the

287
00:13:18,708 --> 00:13:20,908
Speaker 7: rest of our team is put us in positions to

288
00:13:21,508 --> 00:13:23,588
Speaker 7: win those games. That's the ad goal.

289
00:13:23,708 --> 00:13:27,308
Speaker 8: R Matthew. You played it at Tennessee. We were talking

290
00:13:27,308 --> 00:13:30,028
Speaker 8: about in the break a little bit. This past draft,

291
00:13:30,108 --> 00:13:33,908
Speaker 8: five volunteers were selected, with the highest being Hendon Hooker.

292
00:13:33,948 --> 00:13:36,668
Speaker 8: Of course, you've seen him play up close. What are

293
00:13:36,708 --> 00:13:39,868
Speaker 8: the Lions getting in the quarterback and could we see

294
00:13:39,948 --> 00:13:42,668
Speaker 8: him one day as that Detroit starting quarterback?

295
00:13:42,908 --> 00:13:45,068
Speaker 7: Yeah, so him is a good player and he's an

296
00:13:45,068 --> 00:13:49,108
Speaker 7: even better dude. I know him very personally. Detroit drafting

297
00:13:49,228 --> 00:13:51,668
Speaker 7: for a reason, you know, I hope the best for him.

298
00:13:51,708 --> 00:13:53,548
Speaker 7: I hope the best for all the guys who came

299
00:13:53,588 --> 00:13:58,188
Speaker 7: out in this past draft, obviously myself and everybody who

300
00:13:58,228 --> 00:14:00,628
Speaker 7: came out in the draft before and even in draft

301
00:14:00,628 --> 00:14:03,508
Speaker 7: before that, with guys like true Smith, you know, I

302
00:14:03,548 --> 00:14:06,308
Speaker 7: hope the best for them. Within reason, of course, when

303
00:14:06,308 --> 00:14:09,068
Speaker 7: we're playing against them, and I'm hoping the best for

304
00:14:09,348 --> 00:14:12,868
Speaker 7: our team and myself. But you know, those are my guys.

305
00:14:12,908 --> 00:14:15,508
Speaker 7: I'm in great contact with them. There's gonna be guys

306
00:14:15,548 --> 00:14:18,228
Speaker 7: coming out of Tennessee this upcoming year. I hope the

307
00:14:18,228 --> 00:14:21,068
Speaker 7: best for them, and you know, we're all real close.

308
00:14:21,108 --> 00:14:23,948
Speaker 7: We built a real camaraderie there at Tennessee and now

309
00:14:23,988 --> 00:14:27,508
Speaker 7: I'm just hoping a brand for success for obviously myself

310
00:14:27,628 --> 00:14:29,908
Speaker 7: and them as well. You know, at the next level,

311
00:14:29,948 --> 00:14:31,828
Speaker 7: that's what we dream of as kids.

312
00:14:32,388 --> 00:14:34,708
Speaker 5: Matthew, you set the foundation, you and your group for

313
00:14:34,788 --> 00:14:37,108
Speaker 5: that Voss team that went eleven and two this year.

314
00:14:37,188 --> 00:14:40,228
Speaker 5: You mentioned guys coming up Joe Milton another quarterback coming

315
00:14:40,268 --> 00:14:42,948
Speaker 5: up for them in the coming years. So, Matthew, you

316
00:14:43,068 --> 00:14:47,788
Speaker 5: recently started the Matthew Butler Foundation helping people. Why did

317
00:14:47,828 --> 00:14:50,548
Speaker 5: you decide to start that foundation and tell us a

318
00:14:50,548 --> 00:14:52,268
Speaker 5: little bit more what will the focus be.

319
00:14:52,708 --> 00:14:55,948
Speaker 7: Yeah, so I started at Matthew Butler Foundation because I

320
00:14:55,988 --> 00:14:58,268
Speaker 7: have a hard to get back, I have a hard

321
00:14:58,308 --> 00:15:01,388
Speaker 7: to impact others, especially with my platform. I'm not going

322
00:15:01,428 --> 00:15:03,468
Speaker 7: to sit here and say that there's not other guys

323
00:15:03,468 --> 00:15:06,228
Speaker 7: who come from I come from more who have the

324
00:15:06,308 --> 00:15:09,468
Speaker 7: same outlook as me, who don't get the chance to

325
00:15:09,508 --> 00:15:12,148
Speaker 7: do this. But since I have been blessed to do this.

326
00:15:12,228 --> 00:15:14,548
Speaker 7: I have been blessed to have this platform. You know,

327
00:15:14,588 --> 00:15:17,708
Speaker 7: it's a focus of mine to give back to impact

328
00:15:17,708 --> 00:15:20,668
Speaker 7: others in a positive way. That's my life goal, that's

329
00:15:20,668 --> 00:15:23,988
Speaker 7: my outlook on life. My foundation's focus is going to

330
00:15:23,988 --> 00:15:27,988
Speaker 7: be on support for single parents, nutrition for you, and

331
00:15:28,108 --> 00:15:32,188
Speaker 7: early detection of conditions for you that's affected my circle,

332
00:15:32,508 --> 00:15:36,028
Speaker 7: that affects people all over all over Las Vegas, all

333
00:15:36,068 --> 00:15:38,748
Speaker 7: over the country, all over the world, and just in

334
00:15:38,788 --> 00:15:42,028
Speaker 7: any way possible. I want to give back and let

335
00:15:42,068 --> 00:15:44,948
Speaker 7: people know that you know, you're not alone, and on

336
00:15:45,028 --> 00:15:48,228
Speaker 7: top of that, just gives support for those who may

337
00:15:48,268 --> 00:15:51,068
Speaker 7: not really realize that they have support. Not only is

338
00:15:51,108 --> 00:15:54,708
Speaker 7: that a lot like my foundation's goal, but that's my goal,

339
00:15:54,788 --> 00:15:57,828
Speaker 7: that's my personal goal, that's my life mission. So it's

340
00:15:57,868 --> 00:16:00,228
Speaker 7: a blessing that I've been put in position that I

341
00:16:00,268 --> 00:16:02,988
Speaker 7: can do that and help others and give people the

342
00:16:03,068 --> 00:16:06,468
Speaker 7: help that maybe they never even never ever received before.

343
00:16:07,068 --> 00:16:09,868
Speaker 5: Matthew, that's awesome. Sounds like you're gonna help so many people.

344
00:16:10,108 --> 00:16:11,508
Speaker 5: Before you leave, I want to ask you one more

345
00:16:11,628 --> 00:16:14,988
Speaker 5: vass question. Did you get any fun with Josh Jacobs

346
00:16:15,548 --> 00:16:17,228
Speaker 5: this year when the Valls beat Bama.

347
00:16:18,508 --> 00:16:23,868
Speaker 7: Yes, yes, Josh Anthony Avery. I mean, if the Walls

348
00:16:23,908 --> 00:16:27,708
Speaker 7: were and we beat Clemson, I'm in Cleeve Farrell's ear.

349
00:16:27,948 --> 00:16:30,908
Speaker 7: You know, I'm calling people around the league like, hey, man,

350
00:16:30,988 --> 00:16:33,268
Speaker 7: come on now. You know, it's great to see man

351
00:16:33,388 --> 00:16:36,188
Speaker 7: like I'm proud of I'm proud of all the guys there.

352
00:16:36,268 --> 00:16:39,788
Speaker 7: I'm also proud of the legacy that myself and others

353
00:16:39,788 --> 00:16:42,588
Speaker 7: have left at that university. I hold a lot of

354
00:16:42,628 --> 00:16:45,268
Speaker 7: love in my heart for that university, and I hold

355
00:16:45,268 --> 00:16:47,348
Speaker 7: a lot of love in my heart for my teammates.

356
00:16:47,388 --> 00:16:48,468
Speaker 7: So I love seeing it.

357
00:16:48,828 --> 00:16:52,868
Speaker 5: Well, thank you, Matthew. That's the Matthew Butler Foundation. To

358

Speaker 5: and the Raiders this season.

361
00:17:00,908 --> 00:17:01,548
Speaker 2: Yes, thank you.

362
00:17:01,668 --> 00:17:02,468
Speaker 7: I appreciate it.

363
00:17:03,348 --> 00:17:03,508
Speaker 3: You know.

364
00:17:03,588 --> 00:17:06,028
Speaker 4: Earlier in the show, Ryan Leaf shared with us the

365
00:17:06,068 --> 00:17:08,868
Speaker 4: stat that of players that have played eight plus years

366
00:17:08,868 --> 00:17:11,508
Speaker 4: in this league, there's only a thousand of them, which

367
00:17:11,588 --> 00:17:14,748
Speaker 4: makes what I'm about to say absolutely insane. Our next

368
00:17:14,748 --> 00:17:18,868
Speaker 4: guest spent sixteen years playing in the NFL. He is

369
00:17:18,948 --> 00:17:21,668
Speaker 4: a three time pro bowler and All Pro a great

370
00:17:21,708 --> 00:17:23,948
Speaker 4: friend of the show. Please welcome back Niwa and the

371
00:17:24,068 --> 00:17:25,668
Speaker 4: only Thomas Davis.

372
00:17:25,908 --> 00:17:28,588
Speaker 2: Yes, no time to move.

373
00:17:28,628 --> 00:17:31,628
Speaker 5: You said it too, sixteen years.

374
00:17:31,748 --> 00:17:33,388
Speaker 3: It's great. Well, we were just talking about how hard

375
00:17:33,428 --> 00:17:34,108
Speaker 3: it is to go to eight.

376
00:17:34,148 --> 00:17:36,508
Speaker 4: So then when I saw sixteen, I don't we haven't

377
00:17:36,548 --> 00:17:38,868
Speaker 4: dug up those stats, but how many have played sixteen plus?

378
00:17:38,908 --> 00:17:41,948
Speaker 3: I would imagine that numbers got to dwindle way down.

379
00:17:42,188 --> 00:17:42,788
Speaker 3: I want to ask you.

380
00:17:42,828 --> 00:17:45,268
Speaker 4: The Panthers announced earlier this week two legends are going

381
00:17:45,348 --> 00:17:47,948
Speaker 4: to go into their Hall of honor, Julius Peppers and

382
00:17:48,068 --> 00:17:50,788
Speaker 4: Mussin Muhammad. You shared the field with both of those guys.

383
00:17:51,148 --> 00:17:52,748
Speaker 4: Will start on the defensive side.

384
00:17:52,548 --> 00:17:52,908
Speaker 3: Of the ball.

385
00:17:53,028 --> 00:17:55,508
Speaker 4: You came in as a rookie. Peppers was the leader

386
00:17:55,548 --> 00:17:58,748
Speaker 4: of that defense. Tell us about your relationship with him

387
00:17:58,788 --> 00:18:00,628
Speaker 4: and what he taught you during your career.

388
00:18:00,748 --> 00:18:03,828
Speaker 9: Listen, when I came to the NFL and Julius Peppers

389
00:18:03,868 --> 00:18:06,388
Speaker 9: was on it team, that was when I knew it

390
00:18:06,428 --> 00:18:08,388
Speaker 9: was time for me to grow up and grow up fast.

391
00:18:08,388 --> 00:18:12,028
Speaker 9: Because you have a guy that's six seven, two hundred

392
00:18:12,068 --> 00:18:15,188
Speaker 9: and ninety pounds running faster than most of our dbs.

393
00:18:15,428 --> 00:18:18,388
Speaker 2: I'm like, man, what world is this that I'm in

394
00:18:18,468 --> 00:18:18,788
Speaker 2: right now?

395
00:18:18,828 --> 00:18:21,148
Speaker 9: But Julius purpos Man one of the nicest guys that

396
00:18:21,188 --> 00:18:23,828
Speaker 9: you will ever meet, the most humble guy ever. But

397
00:18:23,948 --> 00:18:27,308
Speaker 9: he worked extremely hard and he taught me how to

398
00:18:27,348 --> 00:18:28,308
Speaker 9: become a professional.

399
00:18:28,348 --> 00:18:29,948
Speaker 2: And that's one of the things that you know.

400
00:18:30,308 --> 00:18:34,348
Speaker 9: I've looked at Julius a lot on his leadership skills

401
00:18:34,388 --> 00:18:35,988
Speaker 9: on the field. He didn't talk a lot when I

402
00:18:35,988 --> 00:18:39,108
Speaker 9: first got there, but he worked very hard and there's

403
00:18:39,148 --> 00:18:40,948
Speaker 9: some of the things that we learned from him. But

404
00:18:41,028 --> 00:18:43,388
Speaker 9: I had the opportunity to still be there when Pelp

405
00:18:43,508 --> 00:18:44,348
Speaker 9: went to Chicago.

406
00:18:44,468 --> 00:18:46,028
Speaker 2: He left Chicago, went to Green.

407
00:18:45,828 --> 00:18:48,668
Speaker 9: Bay and came back home to Carolina. So just to

408
00:18:48,708 --> 00:18:51,948
Speaker 9: watch the maturation process that he had over the course

409
00:18:51,988 --> 00:18:54,628
Speaker 9: of his career was huge for me as a player

410
00:18:54,668 --> 00:18:57,228
Speaker 9: and as a person, just seeing how much he grew

411
00:18:57,268 --> 00:18:58,068
Speaker 9: up over that time.

412
00:18:58,348 --> 00:19:00,708
Speaker 11: So I'm from Chicago and I enjoyed Julius Peppers when

413
00:19:00,708 --> 00:19:02,668
Speaker 11: he was with them for a bit. But you had

414
00:19:02,668 --> 00:19:04,388
Speaker 11: a hand in recruiting him back to Carolina.

415
00:19:04,428 --> 00:19:05,788
Speaker 2: Absolute team. Absolutely.

416
00:19:05,828 --> 00:19:07,748
Speaker 10: What were those conversations like, how'd you do it?

417
00:19:07,828 --> 00:19:07,988
Speaker 2: Man?

418
00:19:08,348 --> 00:19:10,908
Speaker 9: I was recruiting Pep when he was in Chicago, trying

419
00:19:10,908 --> 00:19:12,988
Speaker 9: to get him to come back, Like, look, man, we're

420
00:19:13,028 --> 00:19:15,988
Speaker 9: building something over here. We're building a really, really good squad.

421
00:19:16,068 --> 00:19:17,828
Speaker 9: You might want to come back, and we would talk

422
00:19:17,868 --> 00:19:20,588
Speaker 9: about it and he would get close, and then after

423
00:19:20,668 --> 00:19:22,668
Speaker 9: his time was up in Chicago, he kind.

424
00:19:22,468 --> 00:19:23,548
Speaker 2: Of leaned toward it.

425
00:19:23,588 --> 00:19:26,028
Speaker 9: We talked about it, but then Green Bay came and

426
00:19:26,068 --> 00:19:27,788
Speaker 9: offered a bag, and you know how it is as

427
00:19:27,788 --> 00:19:30,268
Speaker 9: a player, when somebody dropped the bag on you, you got

428
00:19:30,308 --> 00:19:32,628
Speaker 9: to follow that. But for Pep to be able to

429
00:19:32,628 --> 00:19:34,788
Speaker 9: come back and finish his career, you know, after we

430
00:19:34,828 --> 00:19:36,828
Speaker 9: went to the Super Bowl, he just wanted to come

431
00:19:36,828 --> 00:19:39,868
Speaker 9: back and try to be a part of something special

432
00:19:39,908 --> 00:19:41,348
Speaker 9: and trying to get back to that point.

433
00:19:41,348 --> 00:19:42,548
Speaker 2: We weren't able to do that.

434
00:19:42,748 --> 00:19:45,708
Speaker 9: But for him to come back and finish his career

435
00:19:45,708 --> 00:19:49,428
Speaker 9: in Carolina, I knew it was a special moment for him, absolutely.

436
00:19:49,068 --> 00:19:51,468
Speaker 5: And Mussine to talk about the other guy, Muhammad wasn't

437
00:19:51,468 --> 00:19:53,908
Speaker 5: in Carolina when you were first drafted there, but he

438
00:19:53,988 --> 00:19:57,068
Speaker 5: returned for his final two seasons and eight o nine.

439
00:19:57,148 --> 00:19:59,748
Speaker 5: What is a story that you have about his return

440
00:19:59,828 --> 00:20:01,428
Speaker 5: to the Panthers and your time with him?

441
00:20:01,828 --> 00:20:04,708
Speaker 9: Man Moose is one of the hardest working men I've

442
00:20:04,748 --> 00:20:07,428
Speaker 9: ever been around. Because you look at a receiver and

443
00:20:07,468 --> 00:20:09,948
Speaker 9: you know that tenure is not that long. But you

444
00:20:10,028 --> 00:20:12,708
Speaker 9: look at the way Moose worked, you understood how he

445
00:20:12,748 --> 00:20:15,828
Speaker 9: was able to be that big, physical, possession receiver, you know,

446
00:20:15,908 --> 00:20:18,228
Speaker 9: the big The best story that I have though about

447
00:20:18,308 --> 00:20:20,908
Speaker 9: Moose is I didn't get the chance to play with

448
00:20:20,988 --> 00:20:23,068
Speaker 9: him my rookie year because he had just left and

449
00:20:23,108 --> 00:20:26,948
Speaker 9: gone to Chicago as well. But we had a packageing

450
00:20:27,028 --> 00:20:29,268
Speaker 9: in the playoffs when we got ready to play against

451
00:20:29,308 --> 00:20:30,868
Speaker 9: the Chicago Bears, and.

452
00:20:30,828 --> 00:20:33,668
Speaker 2: I was the Moose stopper. They had me. They had

453
00:20:33,708 --> 00:20:34,428
Speaker 2: me being.

454
00:20:34,228 --> 00:20:36,948
Speaker 9: The guy in the special package that was covering Moose,

455
00:20:37,188 --> 00:20:39,348
Speaker 9: and he hated it. He could not stand it because

456
00:20:39,388 --> 00:20:41,428
Speaker 9: every single time we knew where route he was gonna

457
00:20:41,508 --> 00:20:43,668
Speaker 9: run when he was in a certain spot, and I

458
00:20:43,668 --> 00:20:47,028
Speaker 9: would run the route for him, and he absolutely hated.

459
00:20:47,108 --> 00:20:49,068
Speaker 9: He would come back to our coaches and talk about it.

460
00:20:49,268 --> 00:20:52,308
Speaker 9: But once he came back to our team, I understood

461
00:20:52,348 --> 00:20:54,948
Speaker 9: why everybody loved Muse and Muhammad, why he was the

462
00:20:54,988 --> 00:20:57,108
Speaker 9: man that he was while he was the player that

463
00:20:57,188 --> 00:21:00,348
Speaker 9: he was, because he worked extremely hard, and there is

464
00:21:00,548 --> 00:21:03,548
Speaker 9: no doubt about it. The Panthers got this one right

465
00:21:03,588 --> 00:21:05,588
Speaker 9: in selecting these guys to go into the ring of

466
00:21:05,588 --> 00:21:07,828
Speaker 9: honor because they mean so much to this franchise.

467
00:21:08,548 --> 00:21:11,748
Speaker 8: Let's talk about this current Panthers team. Right, they move

468
00:21:11,788 --> 00:21:14,468
Speaker 8: on from their head coach. They draft their franchise quarterback

469
00:21:14,548 --> 00:21:17,028
Speaker 8: in April, and fans and Caroline are excited to see

470
00:21:17,108 --> 00:21:20,308
Speaker 8: how his game translates. What have you seen from Bryce

471
00:21:20,348 --> 00:21:22,668
Speaker 8: Young so far that makes you confident that he can

472
00:21:22,668 --> 00:21:24,428
Speaker 8: do the job as the quarterback for this team.

473
00:21:24,548 --> 00:21:27,268
Speaker 9: Listen, I watched Bryce Young year in and year out

474
00:21:27,308 --> 00:21:30,588
Speaker 9: at Alabama. I even had the opportunity when I was

475
00:21:30,628 --> 00:21:32,948
Speaker 9: with the Chargers to watch him a little bit in

476
00:21:32,988 --> 00:21:37,148
Speaker 9: high school. But me being a Georgia bulldog, I watched

477
00:21:37,188 --> 00:21:38,948
Speaker 9: this kid play way too.

478
00:21:38,908 --> 00:21:41,588
Speaker 2: Much, and I know what he brings to the table.

479
00:21:41,628 --> 00:21:41,788
Speaker 7: Man.

480
00:21:41,788 --> 00:21:44,948
Speaker 9: He's the kid that's very dynamic with his arm talent,

481
00:21:45,188 --> 00:21:47,348
Speaker 9: but what he brings to the table as far as

482
00:21:47,388 --> 00:21:50,428
Speaker 9: getting out of the pocket, keeping the players alive, being

483
00:21:50,468 --> 00:21:53,308
Speaker 9: able to find things down the field, his leadership qualities

484
00:21:53,308 --> 00:21:56,988
Speaker 9: that you hear people rave about, his understanding and knowledge

485
00:21:57,028 --> 00:22:00,748
Speaker 9: of being able to grasp the playbook quickly. His teammates

486
00:22:00,788 --> 00:22:03,548
Speaker 9: respect him so much. Man, I just love what he's

487
00:22:03,588 --> 00:22:04,708
Speaker 9: going to bring to this city.

488
00:22:04,748 --> 00:22:04,868
Speaker 7: Man.

489
00:22:05,068 --> 00:22:08,628
Speaker 9: You look at when Cam came into Carolina in the

490
00:22:08,748 --> 00:22:12,828
Speaker 9: environment that was surrounded around Cam and how the atmosphere

491
00:22:12,868 --> 00:22:15,748
Speaker 9: was so electric. I feel that same kind of electricity

492
00:22:15,748 --> 00:22:18,468
Speaker 9: with Bryce Young right now. It's debatable to see if

493
00:22:18,468 --> 00:22:20,508
Speaker 9: he can bring what Cam brought to the team, but

494
00:22:20,868 --> 00:22:22,788
Speaker 9: I just think the sky's the limit for this kid

495
00:22:22,868 --> 00:22:25,588
Speaker 9: because he wants to be great and you can see it.

496
00:22:25,788 --> 00:22:28,148
Speaker 4: You mentioned his leadership qualities and you have a new

497
00:22:28,228 --> 00:22:30,348
Speaker 4: leader there, and Frank Rake, I know you that you've

498
00:22:30,388 --> 00:22:33,788
Speaker 4: had an opportunity to talk to him. Why is he

499
00:22:33,868 --> 00:22:36,188
Speaker 4: the right guy for this Panthers team going forward.

500
00:22:36,428 --> 00:22:38,188
Speaker 9: I was one of those guys that were standing on

501
00:22:38,188 --> 00:22:41,268
Speaker 9: the table for Steve Wilks, but when Coach Reich was

502
00:22:41,308 --> 00:22:44,508
Speaker 9: the one that they announced as the man for the job,

503
00:22:44,828 --> 00:22:47,188
Speaker 9: I was definitely on board because I had the opportunity

504
00:22:47,188 --> 00:22:49,868
Speaker 9: to meet Coach Wrch a few years back in Buffalo,

505
00:22:49,948 --> 00:22:51,828
Speaker 9: I received the award that he used to give out

506
00:22:51,868 --> 00:22:54,948
Speaker 9: every year, and just knowing the man that he is,

507
00:22:55,148 --> 00:22:57,588
Speaker 9: I feel like he's the right guy to take over

508
00:22:57,708 --> 00:23:00,988
Speaker 9: after the rule era and just take this franchise to

509
00:23:01,068 --> 00:23:04,348
Speaker 9: where they need to be. Because an offensive minded guy

510
00:23:04,468 --> 00:23:06,348
Speaker 9: that's coming in that's going to help put up points

511
00:23:06,348 --> 00:23:09,828
Speaker 9: and we know the NFL is an offensive base league.

512
00:23:09,868 --> 00:23:12,068
Speaker 9: They take so many rules to make sure that the

513
00:23:12,148 --> 00:23:13,388
Speaker 9: offense is scoring points.

514
00:23:14,228 --> 00:23:14,948
Speaker 2: I'm a little.

515
00:23:14,708 --> 00:23:19,148
Speaker 9: Biased, I gave to tell, but coach Wright what he

516
00:23:19,188 --> 00:23:21,748
Speaker 9: brings to the table with him being a former Carolina Panther,

517
00:23:22,108 --> 00:23:24,068
Speaker 9: it just means more. When you've had the chance to

518
00:23:24,068 --> 00:23:26,268
Speaker 9: put on a uniform and put on a jersey and

519
00:23:26,308 --> 00:23:28,468
Speaker 9: now go back and be the head coach of that

520
00:23:28,508 --> 00:23:29,748
Speaker 9: football team, you.

521
00:23:29,668 --> 00:23:31,108
Speaker 2: Want to win at a greater level.

522
00:23:31,148 --> 00:23:33,348
Speaker 9: I know all head coaches want to win anyway, but

523
00:23:33,388 --> 00:23:35,628
Speaker 9: whenever you have an opportunity to go back to your

524
00:23:35,628 --> 00:23:38,748
Speaker 9: alma mater or your former team to be able to

525
00:23:39,428 --> 00:23:42,028
Speaker 9: win football games, you want to take advantage of that.

526
00:23:42,068 --> 00:23:44,068
Speaker 11: And we know Frank Wright asked you to come back

527
00:23:44,308 --> 00:23:46,588
Speaker 11: and speak to the team during mandatory mini camp last month.

528
00:23:46,628 --> 00:23:48,908
Speaker 11: What was your impressions of the team and what was

529
00:23:48,908 --> 00:23:49,788
Speaker 11: your message to them?

530
00:23:49,868 --> 00:23:52,068
Speaker 2: You know, I love what this team is where they're

531
00:23:52,068 --> 00:23:52,708
Speaker 2: at right now.

532
00:23:53,068 --> 00:23:55,748
Speaker 9: I think, like I talked about Frank right when you

533
00:23:55,788 --> 00:23:59,388
Speaker 9: look at the staff that he's put together, that's what

534
00:23:59,468 --> 00:24:01,948
Speaker 9: I love the most. When you look at the amount

535
00:24:02,068 --> 00:24:05,148
Speaker 9: of coaching talent that we have in that locker room

536
00:24:05,268 --> 00:24:08,748
Speaker 9: right now, I know, first and foremost, before the guys

537
00:24:08,868 --> 00:24:11,148
Speaker 9: ever take the field, they're going to be well prepared

538
00:24:11,308 --> 00:24:13,348
Speaker 9: because I believe in all of the coaches. You know,

539
00:24:13,428 --> 00:24:16,628
Speaker 9: one of my former teammates from Georgia, Thomas Brown, is

540
00:24:16,628 --> 00:24:17,668
Speaker 9: the offensive coordinator.

541
00:24:17,948 --> 00:24:19,068
Speaker 2: I love to see him.

542
00:24:18,948 --> 00:24:22,028
Speaker 9: In that position, having that opportunity to lead this offense.

543
00:24:22,108 --> 00:24:25,068
Speaker 9: We got Josh McCown, we got D'Angelo Hall, we got

544
00:24:25,308 --> 00:24:28,188
Speaker 9: Duce Staley, the list goes on. So these players are

545
00:24:28,188 --> 00:24:30,668
Speaker 9: going to be put in positions to have success, and

546
00:24:30,708 --> 00:24:32,788
Speaker 9: I feel like we have a ton of talent. They

547
00:24:32,868 --> 00:24:34,828
Speaker 9: went out and did a great job in free agency

548
00:24:35,068 --> 00:24:37,788
Speaker 9: and in the draft. So I'm just looking forward to

549
00:24:37,788 --> 00:24:40,148
Speaker 9: seeing what this guy, this group of guys do. You

550
00:24:40,148 --> 00:24:42,508
Speaker 9: can see one of you out there, how different it

551
00:24:42,548 --> 00:24:44,348
Speaker 9: is from when the Rule era was out there. How

552
00:24:44,348 --> 00:24:46,988
Speaker 9: these guys work hard, how they're buying into the scheme.

553
00:24:47,268 --> 00:24:49,788
Speaker 9: You don't hear a bunch of guys complaining about this,

554
00:24:49,948 --> 00:24:50,988
Speaker 9: complaining about that.

555
00:24:51,188 --> 00:24:54,188
Speaker 2: Like you had a few years ago, because Coach Rule.

556
00:24:54,108 --> 00:24:56,508
Speaker 9: Came in and Coach Rube was a college coach. He

557
00:24:56,588 --> 00:24:58,988
Speaker 9: wasn't a bad guy, but he was a college coach

558
00:24:59,028 --> 00:25:02,308
Speaker 9: trying to implement a college lifestyle into the NFL. Game,

559
00:25:02,348 --> 00:25:04,068
Speaker 9: and we all know that's tough when you have when

560
00:25:04,068 --> 00:25:04,948
Speaker 9: you try to do that.

561
00:25:05,588 --> 00:25:08,708
Speaker 5: T You're right, all star coaching staff future head coaches

562
00:25:08,788 --> 00:25:11,228
Speaker 5: on that roster too. Thomas Brown, a zero of verro.

563
00:25:11,548 --> 00:25:13,028
Speaker 5: I want to talk a little bit about you and

564
00:25:13,068 --> 00:25:13,668
Speaker 5: your family.

565
00:25:13,748 --> 00:25:14,068
Speaker 2: TD.

566
00:25:14,308 --> 00:25:17,388
Speaker 5: You got football jeans all in your blood, and your son,

567
00:25:17,788 --> 00:25:20,788
Speaker 5: Thomas Davis Junior recently got a few offers to play

568
00:25:20,828 --> 00:25:24,308
Speaker 5: college ball at you and c at NC State. What's

569
00:25:24,308 --> 00:25:26,628
Speaker 5: it been like to watch him play and reach this

570
00:25:26,788 --> 00:25:28,508
Speaker 5: next step of his career.

571
00:25:28,628 --> 00:25:31,588
Speaker 9: Listen, that's been one of the most exciting parts of

572
00:25:32,028 --> 00:25:34,068
Speaker 9: me being retired right now, and that's one of the

573
00:25:34,068 --> 00:25:36,708
Speaker 9: things that I wanted to really dedicate my time and

574
00:25:36,748 --> 00:25:39,988
Speaker 9: my energy too to making sure that I poured into

575
00:25:40,068 --> 00:25:42,788
Speaker 9: the life of my son and my twin nephews. They

576
00:25:42,828 --> 00:25:45,348
Speaker 9: also live with me and they have those same offers.

577
00:25:45,388 --> 00:25:48,148
Speaker 9: Just being able to put them in position to be successful,

578
00:25:48,348 --> 00:25:50,948
Speaker 9: letting them understand, you know, this is the first step

579
00:25:51,188 --> 00:25:53,228
Speaker 9: in the process. You know, you got to get you

580
00:25:53,308 --> 00:25:55,388
Speaker 9: get the offers, but you got to keep the office.

581
00:25:55,428 --> 00:25:56,788
Speaker 2: You got to continue to work hard.

582
00:25:56,908 --> 00:25:59,508
Speaker 9: You got to do the same things now that you

583
00:25:59,628 --> 00:26:01,708
Speaker 9: have them, to continue to keep them.

584
00:26:01,948 --> 00:26:05,348
Speaker 2: They don't just give you offers as freshmen and freshmen

585
00:26:05,388 --> 00:26:06,068
Speaker 2: in high school.

586
00:26:06,348 --> 00:26:08,348
Speaker 9: If you're not putting the work in, if you're not

587
00:26:08,388 --> 00:26:10,148
Speaker 9: doing the things that you need to do, so you've

588
00:26:10,148 --> 00:26:11,828
Speaker 9: got to be able to be in a position where

589
00:26:11,828 --> 00:26:13,988
Speaker 9: you go out, you make plays, you do things the

590
00:26:14,068 --> 00:26:17,228
Speaker 9: right way off the field, and just trying to impress

591
00:26:17,348 --> 00:26:19,708
Speaker 9: upon them how important it is to continue to do

592
00:26:19,788 --> 00:26:20,348
Speaker 9: those things.

593
00:26:20,668 --> 00:26:21,028
Speaker 2: Thomas.

594
00:26:21,068 --> 00:26:23,628
Speaker 8: I you know, I mentioned I saw you earn your

595
00:26:23,668 --> 00:26:26,868
Speaker 8: Legends Community shirt, and one of the biggest and most

596
00:26:26,868 --> 00:26:29,948
Speaker 8: difficult things for guys who, in your case, sixteen years

597
00:26:29,948 --> 00:26:32,708
Speaker 8: of playing, what your identity is when you walk off

598
00:26:32,708 --> 00:26:34,428
Speaker 8: the field, what that transition is going to be like.

599
00:26:34,508 --> 00:26:37,228
Speaker 8: And I think this show is a real opportunity for

600
00:26:37,268 --> 00:26:40,148
Speaker 8: a lot of current and former players who watch the show.

601
00:26:40,348 --> 00:26:42,108
Speaker 8: I thought, maybe kind of give you a platform and

602
00:26:42,148 --> 00:26:45,668
Speaker 8: talk about how we can help the player transitioning to

603
00:26:45,708 --> 00:26:47,988
Speaker 8: make sure that that we continue to be together as

604
00:26:47,988 --> 00:26:48,988
Speaker 8: an NFL brotherhood.

605
00:26:49,068 --> 00:26:51,388
Speaker 9: You know, I just encourage all of the active guys

606
00:26:51,428 --> 00:26:54,468
Speaker 9: right now to tap into the Legends community while you're playing.

607
00:26:54,508 --> 00:26:56,108
Speaker 2: Don't look at it as a thing.

608
00:26:56,468 --> 00:26:59,188
Speaker 9: Oh you know, I'll do that once I retire, because

609
00:26:59,268 --> 00:27:00,748
Speaker 9: that day is going to come for all of us.

610
00:27:00,868 --> 00:27:01,948
Speaker 2: We just don't never.

611
00:27:01,948 --> 00:27:04,868
Speaker 9: Know when it's going to be tap into a right now,

612
00:27:04,988 --> 00:27:08,468
Speaker 9: make relationships. Get to know this name, Tracy Peerlman is

613
00:27:08,508 --> 00:27:10,788
Speaker 9: a name that you guys absolutely need to know.

614
00:27:10,868 --> 00:27:12,868
Speaker 2: If you are an NFL player right now.

615
00:27:12,788 --> 00:27:15,068
Speaker 9: And you don't know who she is, then you are

616
00:27:15,148 --> 00:27:17,828
Speaker 9: behind the eight ball when it comes to the NFL

617
00:27:17,948 --> 00:27:21,308
Speaker 9: pecking order because she's She's the person that really got

618
00:27:21,388 --> 00:27:23,468
Speaker 9: me in the position that I'm in right now when

619
00:27:23,468 --> 00:27:26,948
Speaker 9: it comes to life after the game, like understanding what

620
00:27:27,148 --> 00:27:30,268
Speaker 9: all the NFL has to offer us and understanding all

621
00:27:30,268 --> 00:27:33,188
Speaker 9: of the things that we've earned as players. For so long,

622
00:27:33,428 --> 00:27:36,348
Speaker 9: players were not taking advantage of the things that they've earned.

623
00:27:36,628 --> 00:27:38,748
Speaker 9: And that's why I wanted to be in this position

624
00:27:38,828 --> 00:27:40,868
Speaker 9: that I'm in to make sure that our guys are

625
00:27:40,988 --> 00:27:42,028
Speaker 9: utilizing those things.

626
00:27:42,148 --> 00:27:43,988
Speaker 8: I'm headed down to New Orleans at the end of

627
00:27:43,988 --> 00:27:47,068
Speaker 8: the month to do my two lane medical anybody there

628
00:27:47,068 --> 00:27:48,548
Speaker 8: you go, that's a huge part of the quarter of

629
00:27:48,588 --> 00:27:51,308
Speaker 8: a million dollars in medical we got to get to receive.

630
00:27:51,108 --> 00:27:52,748
Speaker 2: So dedicated hospital network.

631
00:27:52,828 --> 00:27:57,868
Speaker 4: Right You better listen to this man's word. Sixteen seasons

632
00:27:57,908 --> 00:28:00,468
Speaker 4: in the NFL. It is absolutely in credible.

633
00:28:00,788 --> 00:28:01,628
Speaker 3: What a ride.

634
00:28:01,708 --> 00:28:04,068
Speaker 4: Thank you for being with us this morning. I list

635
00:28:04,148 --> 00:28:07,068
Speaker 4: need for the next three hours, but unfortunately we have

636
00:28:07,148 --> 00:28:09,468
Speaker 4: to go Morgan Morning Football coming up.

637
00:28:09,388 --> 00:28:09,828
Speaker 3: After this.

638
00:28:22,588 --> 00:28:24,068
Speaker 2: Good morning fall.

639
00:28:25,268 --> 00:28:28,108
Speaker 4: We've got Seahawks safety Julian Love with us today, so

640
00:28:28,148 --> 00:28:31,348
Speaker 4: it is time to talk all things DB's in another

641
00:28:31,548 --> 00:28:34,108
Speaker 4: edition of Back to Back. I'm gonna start things off Julian.

642
00:28:34,228 --> 00:28:36,388
Speaker 4: We're and talk plenty about the Sauce Gardeners, the Jalen

643
00:28:36,508 --> 00:28:38,628
Speaker 4: Ramsey's of the league. But there's a whole bunch of

644
00:28:38,628 --> 00:28:41,508
Speaker 4: other corners and safeties who don't get as much love

645
00:28:41,628 --> 00:28:44,628
Speaker 4: as they should. So which current dB do you think

646
00:28:44,868 --> 00:28:46,228
Speaker 4: deserves a little more respect?

647
00:28:47,068 --> 00:28:49,588
Speaker 10: This is a hot topic. I'm gonna stay away from

648
00:28:49,588 --> 00:28:50,148
Speaker 10: the corners. You know.

649
00:28:50,228 --> 00:28:52,468
Speaker 11: DJ Reid has a claim there, Tarik Wooland has a

650
00:28:52,468 --> 00:28:55,068
Speaker 11: claim there. A lot of a lot of corners have

651
00:28:55,108 --> 00:28:55,468
Speaker 11: a claim.

652
00:28:55,508 --> 00:28:56,268
Speaker 10: I need more respect.

653
00:28:56,308 --> 00:28:58,868
Speaker 11: I'm gonna go safety and I've been around him. Perennial

654
00:28:58,908 --> 00:29:02,708
Speaker 11: pro bowler Quandre Diggs. H He's a guy who has

655
00:29:02,788 --> 00:29:06,188
Speaker 11: been electric for the Sea hospital the lines before for years.

656
00:29:06,428 --> 00:29:07,948
Speaker 10: He's been super productive.

657
00:29:08,268 --> 00:29:11,028
Speaker 11: But when you talk about the most you know talked

658
00:29:11,028 --> 00:29:14,588
Speaker 11: about safeties, no one really mentions his name. I think

659
00:29:14,588 --> 00:29:15,988
Speaker 11: he should be at the top of the list. And

660
00:29:16,068 --> 00:29:18,108
Speaker 11: I've had a chance to be around him the past

661
00:29:18,148 --> 00:29:21,588
Speaker 11: couple of weeks months you see here, I mean last

662
00:29:21,588 --> 00:29:24,228
Speaker 11: six seasons, he's top five interceptions. No one talks about

663
00:29:24,308 --> 00:29:26,668
Speaker 11: him still or in the aspect that they should talk

664
00:29:26,668 --> 00:29:29,268
Speaker 11: about him, and just being around him, I can see

665
00:29:29,348 --> 00:29:31,268
Speaker 11: more film on him. I realized how talented of a

666
00:29:31,308 --> 00:29:34,748
Speaker 11: guy he is. He's a hard hitter, He's making plays

667
00:29:34,748 --> 00:29:37,668
Speaker 11: on the ball. This guy needs to be talked about

668
00:29:37,708 --> 00:29:38,148
Speaker 11: way more.

669
00:29:38,388 --> 00:29:41,548
Speaker 8: I think we all have our own football heroes. Terry Bratscha,

670
00:29:41,588 --> 00:29:43,788
Speaker 8: of course, was lying at the quarterback position. So I

671
00:29:43,828 --> 00:29:47,228
Speaker 8: want to know, growing up, did you have a favorite dB?

672
00:29:47,468 --> 00:29:49,748
Speaker 8: Is there somebody that you tried to emulate while you played?

673
00:29:49,788 --> 00:29:50,988
Speaker 2: And who was that?

674
00:29:51,348 --> 00:29:53,868
Speaker 11: I grew up in Chicago, and so you know, I

675
00:29:53,908 --> 00:29:57,468
Speaker 11: grew up watching the one and Only Charles Peanut Tillman.

676
00:29:58,108 --> 00:30:00,548
Speaker 11: This guy was so fun to watch. You know, as

677
00:30:00,588 --> 00:30:03,068
Speaker 11: a kid, everyone wants to be a running back. Everyone

678
00:30:03,108 --> 00:30:06,148
Speaker 11: wants to be He's going to touch on offense, and

679
00:30:06,548 --> 00:30:09,788
Speaker 11: Peanut made it cool for me to feel or to

680
00:30:09,828 --> 00:30:12,548
Speaker 11: be a dB. He made it cool. This guy was

681
00:30:12,588 --> 00:30:15,668
Speaker 11: all over the place. His production was nuts. They talk

682
00:30:15,708 --> 00:30:18,388
Speaker 11: about force fumbles and picks. I think he's the only

683
00:30:18,388 --> 00:30:21,508
Speaker 11: player with forty plus forced fumbles in his career and

684
00:30:21,588 --> 00:30:22,588
Speaker 11: thirty plus picks.

685
00:30:23,068 --> 00:30:24,268
Speaker 10: I mean, this guy was.

686
00:30:24,228 --> 00:30:27,548
Speaker 11: Taking charges on the field while getting the ball out.

687
00:30:28,228 --> 00:30:30,468
Speaker 10: And that era of Bears.

688
00:30:30,068 --> 00:30:32,268
Speaker 11: Defense was so cool for me to at Irlacker, Braggs,

689
00:30:32,308 --> 00:30:34,948
Speaker 11: all those guys, but Pinat Tillman.

690
00:30:34,748 --> 00:30:35,388
Speaker 10: Was the man for me.

691
00:30:35,548 --> 00:30:38,308
Speaker 5: He still has that peanut punch put the dB tries

692
00:30:38,308 --> 00:30:42,308
Speaker 5: to specialize knock it out right, that's excellent, excellent, will Julian.

693
00:30:42,348 --> 00:30:45,588
Speaker 5: DB's have to have a wide ranging skill set to

694
00:30:45,588 --> 00:30:47,868
Speaker 5: be able to be successful on the field, and one

695
00:30:47,908 --> 00:30:50,948
Speaker 5: of the more helpful skills is great hands to pick

696
00:30:50,948 --> 00:30:54,188
Speaker 5: off passes. Which dB do you think has the best

697
00:30:54,468 --> 00:30:55,828
Speaker 5: hands of all time?

698
00:30:56,028 --> 00:30:58,428
Speaker 10: All time? Only answer is Edrid.

699
00:30:58,988 --> 00:31:01,428
Speaker 11: When you look at this guy's highlight tape, it's probably

700
00:31:01,628 --> 00:31:02,868
Speaker 11: the best dB highlight.

701
00:31:02,628 --> 00:31:05,668
Speaker 10: Tape there is. He's flying round, he's hitting hard.

702
00:31:06,268 --> 00:31:11,268
Speaker 11: He has two of the longest interceptions return for touchdowns

703
00:31:11,268 --> 00:31:14,308
Speaker 11: in league history. This guy was dangerous with the ball

704
00:31:14,348 --> 00:31:15,828
Speaker 11: in his hands, and he got the ball a lot.

705
00:31:16,188 --> 00:31:18,228
Speaker 11: One of the best safeties, my favorite, and I think

706
00:31:18,308 --> 00:31:20,188
Speaker 11: one of the best safts in the game ever to

707
00:31:20,428 --> 00:31:23,388
Speaker 11: zero Ed Reid, so I got my number. I love

708
00:31:23,428 --> 00:31:25,188
Speaker 11: this guy for sure had the best hands. This guy

709
00:31:25,228 --> 00:31:26,948
Speaker 11: was all around the ball and you can see all

710
00:31:26,988 --> 00:31:27,308
Speaker 11: the tape.

711
00:31:27,348 --> 00:31:28,748
Speaker 3: That's why you have that numbers.

712
00:31:28,788 --> 00:31:29,988
Speaker 10: Why you know?

713
00:31:30,148 --> 00:31:33,388
Speaker 8: Usually that question is, you know, answered from an offensive silence.

714
00:31:33,668 --> 00:31:36,468
Speaker 8: But if they had good hands, Cam then a play

715
00:31:36,468 --> 00:31:37,028
Speaker 8: wide receiver.

716
00:31:38,428 --> 00:31:42,148
Speaker 5: So this is a dB segment, right, We're not gonna

717
00:31:42,188 --> 00:31:48,308
Speaker 5: take criticisms for DB's right now, you with those hands.

718
00:31:49,628 --> 00:31:52,548
Speaker 4: We talk a lot about schools like LSU and Alabama's

719
00:31:52,588 --> 00:31:56,068
Speaker 4: contenders for the title of DBU, but Notre Dame has

720
00:31:56,108 --> 00:31:58,908
Speaker 4: had some great NFL defensive backs.

721
00:31:59,108 --> 00:32:01,348
Speaker 3: Who is your favorite to come out of Notre Dame.

722
00:32:01,388 --> 00:32:03,588
Speaker 11: There's been a lot, There's been so many. Some off

723
00:32:03,628 --> 00:32:06,148
Speaker 11: the top of my head that isn't. My guy is

724
00:32:06,628 --> 00:32:09,708
Speaker 11: Todd Light He was my dB coach, Legend Super Bowl winner.

725
00:32:09,788 --> 00:32:13,308
Speaker 11: Jeff Burris was a stud top five pick. Thanis Shane Walton.

726
00:32:13,348 --> 00:32:16,548
Speaker 11: I think of Harrison Smith still doing it. But my

727
00:32:16,668 --> 00:32:20,028
Speaker 11: guy with the most recent and that's Kyle Hamilton. This

728
00:32:20,108 --> 00:32:22,268
Speaker 11: guy I probably hold the record for a few things

729
00:32:22,268 --> 00:32:24,548
Speaker 11: in Notre Dame. One being hosting the most recruits as

730
00:32:24,548 --> 00:32:28,828
Speaker 11: a kid on campus. I hosted Kyle and this lanky,

731
00:32:29,228 --> 00:32:32,908
Speaker 11: skinny kid from Marris High School in Georgia was hosting it.

732
00:32:32,948 --> 00:32:33,988
Speaker 10: I'm like, this guy is different.

733
00:32:34,748 --> 00:32:38,068
Speaker 11: He's his confidence, his swag, his energy, his play style.

734
00:32:38,348 --> 00:32:40,348
Speaker 11: I didn't get a chance to play with him in college,

735
00:32:40,348 --> 00:32:41,588
Speaker 11: but it was well establishing.

736
00:32:41,628 --> 00:32:42,748
Speaker 10: He had a great year last year.

737
00:32:42,988 --> 00:32:45,468
Speaker 11: Had some learning there's a learning curve early in the season,

738
00:32:45,988 --> 00:32:48,908
Speaker 11: but he.

739
00:32:47,668 --> 00:32:50,108
Speaker 10: Was producing last year. He had a great rookie season.

740
00:32:50,388 --> 00:32:52,708
Speaker 11: I think some people have him as one of, you know,

741
00:32:52,868 --> 00:32:55,588
Speaker 11: a candidate for Defensive Player of the Year after you

742
00:32:55,588 --> 00:32:56,908
Speaker 11: know Tomusto, maybe the first couple.

743
00:32:56,748 --> 00:32:57,948
Speaker 10: Of weeks, but he's he's the guy.

744
00:32:57,988 --> 00:33:00,108
Speaker 11: I think he's we talked about more and he's carrying

745
00:33:00,108 --> 00:33:01,388
Speaker 11: that Notre Dame legacy forward.

746
00:33:01,628 --> 00:33:03,788
Speaker 10: This is the next generation. First round pick Kyle Hamilton

747
00:33:03,988 --> 00:33:04,908
Speaker 10: really good player.

748
00:33:04,708 --> 00:33:07,268
Speaker 5: Because he as quick as you were the two seconds.

749
00:33:07,308 --> 00:33:09,708
Speaker 10: Absolutely not that it was a stunt. He has every

750
00:33:09,748 --> 00:33:11,788
Speaker 10: offer you could think of, and so we were lucky.

751
00:33:11,588 --> 00:33:11,988
Speaker 2: To get him.

752
00:33:11,988 --> 00:33:13,188
Speaker 3: Hey, real quick, we got to sign off.

753
00:33:13,228 --> 00:33:14,868
Speaker 4: But where's the one place you had to take You

754
00:33:14,908 --> 00:33:16,588
Speaker 4: said you hosted all the recruits, but it's the one

755
00:33:16,588 --> 00:33:17,308
Speaker 4: place that you had.

756
00:33:17,188 --> 00:33:20,428
Speaker 3: To take him to Rockos Pizza, Rocos Pizza. See everybody

757
00:33:20,588 --> 00:33:21,228
Speaker 3: see tomorrow
