4
00:00:33,108 --> 00:00:35,668
Speaker 2: Fuck back to the fucking pressure from the black steps.

00:00:35,668 --> 00:00:37,588
Speaker 3: I throws down the middle, touchdown.

6
00:00:37,588 --> 00:00:38,948
Speaker 2: Catch by branded Cooks.

7
00:00:40,028 --> 00:00:40,828
Speaker 4: Branded Cooks.

8
00:00:40,868 --> 00:00:41,948
Speaker 2: That's a goal line.

9
00:00:43,268 --> 00:00:46,268
Speaker 5: Right, throws over the middle, wide open Cooks across the five.

10
00:00:46,148 --> 00:00:48,708
Speaker 6: Peason press, got left side of the end zone.

11
00:00:48,868 --> 00:00:56,348
Speaker 4: Brody fuck cut it out, throwing to the ends. Shook

12
00:00:56,428 --> 00:00:59,108
Speaker 4: with the touchdown throwing on the left side of the end.

13
00:00:59,108 --> 00:00:59,828
Speaker 3: Zone for Cooks.

14
00:00:59,908 --> 00:01:02,788
Speaker 7: Then he catching as touchdown Cowboys.

15
00:01:03,188 --> 00:01:05,628
Speaker 2: What a catch from uscott the Cooks.

16
00:01:07,468 --> 00:01:10,588
Speaker 8: Oh, mister reliable. When I watched that, Brandon Cooks, that's

17
00:01:10,628 --> 00:01:12,748
Speaker 8: all I think of. How many great teams you've played on,

18
00:01:12,788 --> 00:01:14,548
Speaker 8: how many big moments you've been in, and you are

19
00:01:14,788 --> 00:01:16,628
Speaker 8: frankly always the one in the red zone available.

20
00:01:16,628 --> 00:01:17,468
Speaker 5: What's that like to watch?

21
00:01:17,908 --> 00:01:20,068
Speaker 4: I mean, brings me back, right, you know what I mean?

22
00:01:20,068 --> 00:01:21,628
Speaker 4: It makes me feel a little old. A lot of

23
00:01:21,668 --> 00:01:25,468
Speaker 4: those clips is when I was young. But I mean,

24
00:01:25,508 --> 00:01:27,028
Speaker 4: I'm so fortunate then to be able to play the

25
00:01:27,148 --> 00:01:28,268
Speaker 4: game and oh.

26
00:01:29,068 --> 00:01:31,308
Speaker 5: GT you go okay, Willie Cologne.

27
00:01:31,308 --> 00:01:34,308
Speaker 8: You watch these highlights, you have flashbacks any of these games,

28
00:01:34,308 --> 00:01:36,428
Speaker 8: just watch them being covering this guy over the years.

29
00:01:36,668 --> 00:01:36,868
Speaker 3: Yeah.

30
00:01:36,908 --> 00:01:39,428
Speaker 7: The only flashback guy I have is my wife jumping

31
00:01:39,508 --> 00:01:40,908
Speaker 7: up and down in the living room because she's a

32
00:01:40,908 --> 00:01:43,308
Speaker 7: diehard Saints fan. So when Brandon Cooker was doing these

33
00:01:43,388 --> 00:01:46,548
Speaker 7: bad things, she was grooving them on. So those only highlighted.

34
00:01:46,548 --> 00:01:49,788
Speaker 7: Those only flashbacks I get. But I've watched Brandon's career.

35
00:01:49,788 --> 00:01:50,668
Speaker 3: He's a hell of a player.

36
00:01:50,708 --> 00:01:50,868
Speaker 7: Man.

37
00:01:50,948 --> 00:01:52,748
Speaker 3: I'm good to see him still out there cooking.

38
00:01:53,068 --> 00:01:54,268
Speaker 5: Quarterback's best friend.

39
00:01:54,308 --> 00:01:56,188
Speaker 8: And that's why we love having you on GMFB here

40
00:01:56,228 --> 00:01:58,188
Speaker 8: for the next couple of hours. It's really fitting because

41
00:01:58,588 --> 00:02:01,148
Speaker 8: we've been tracking free agency. We've been tracking some of

42
00:02:01,148 --> 00:02:04,868
Speaker 8: these young guys getting their big deals, and it's per fact.

43
00:02:04,628 --> 00:02:05,828
Speaker 5: That Brandon Cooks. You're at the table.

44
00:02:05,948 --> 00:02:07,988
Speaker 8: We got to talk about Jackson Smith and jigbook and

45
00:02:08,028 --> 00:02:11,348
Speaker 8: the gift that he has received from the Seattle Seahawks.

46
00:02:11,388 --> 00:02:13,668
Speaker 8: The twenty twenty five NFL Offensive Player of the Year

47
00:02:14,028 --> 00:02:16,348
Speaker 8: has reached an agreement, as I mentioned, with the Seahawks

48
00:02:16,388 --> 00:02:20,508
Speaker 8: and Super Bowl champion Seahawks, on a four year, one

49
00:02:20,588 --> 00:02:24,788
Speaker 8: hundred and sixty eight point six million dollar contract extension

50
00:02:24,788 --> 00:02:27,388
Speaker 8: that makes him the highest paid wide receiver.

51
00:02:27,148 --> 00:02:28,108
Speaker 5: In NFL history.

52
00:02:28,268 --> 00:02:30,748
Speaker 8: For some Jacoba finished the twenty twenty five campaign with

53
00:02:30,908 --> 00:02:33,468
Speaker 8: nearly one hundred and twenty catches, good for over seventeen

54
00:02:33,548 --> 00:02:35,628
Speaker 8: hundred yards and ten tds.

55
00:02:35,668 --> 00:02:36,948
Speaker 5: Seattle invests big.

56
00:02:37,108 --> 00:02:40,428
Speaker 8: In the focal point of their offense for the foreseeable future.

57
00:02:40,428 --> 00:02:42,988
Speaker 8: Those names on that list, we always kind of freak

58
00:02:43,068 --> 00:02:46,308
Speaker 8: out every time this money comes to pass. For Jamar Chase,

59
00:02:46,348 --> 00:02:49,148
Speaker 8: for Justin Jefferson, and those two. The rest of this

60
00:02:49,268 --> 00:02:52,668
Speaker 8: list have filled in what they were paid to do.

61
00:02:53,028 --> 00:02:56,108
Speaker 8: Now with Jackson Smith and Jigbis turned for Seattle now,

62
00:02:56,788 --> 00:02:59,108
Speaker 8: all things considered, I don't know if you call it

63
00:02:59,148 --> 00:03:02,268
Speaker 8: a Super Bowl hangover, you're celebrating for a while, Seattle

64
00:03:02,348 --> 00:03:05,268
Speaker 8: was not very active this offseason thus far in free agency.

65
00:03:05,388 --> 00:03:07,828
Speaker 8: They already have their quarterback locked up a couple more years.

66
00:03:07,908 --> 00:03:10,468
Speaker 8: They lost to several key members of that Super Bowl

67
00:03:10,508 --> 00:03:11,188
Speaker 8: winning team.

68
00:03:11,508 --> 00:03:12,388
Speaker 5: The Rams.

69
00:03:12,428 --> 00:03:15,348
Speaker 8: On the other side, their NFC West counterpart and foe

70
00:03:15,708 --> 00:03:18,388
Speaker 8: when big this offseason upgrading their secondary in a big

71
00:03:18,428 --> 00:03:20,868
Speaker 8: way to prevent guys likes Jackson Smith and Jigbo from

72
00:03:20,908 --> 00:03:21,828
Speaker 8: torching them like he.

73
00:03:21,788 --> 00:03:22,788
Speaker 5: Did this past season.

74
00:03:22,868 --> 00:03:27,508
Speaker 8: So here comes the question for eleven wearing the Seahawks jersey, Isaac,

75
00:03:27,908 --> 00:03:30,148
Speaker 8: Are they still the team to be in the NFC

76
00:03:30,188 --> 00:03:32,788
Speaker 8: West despite everything that the Rams have done, despite what

77
00:03:32,828 --> 00:03:34,788
Speaker 8: we know of the San Francisco forty nine ers, and

78
00:03:34,788 --> 00:03:36,508
Speaker 8: frankly the Cardinals always hanging around.

79
00:03:36,628 --> 00:03:36,828
Speaker 2: Yeah.

80
00:03:36,868 --> 00:03:38,828
Speaker 6: I mean, this question is gonna humble me because I

81
00:03:38,828 --> 00:03:41,708
Speaker 6: feel like, all, well, not all last season, but at

82
00:03:41,708 --> 00:03:43,628
Speaker 6: the end of last season and going into the playoffs,

83
00:03:43,668 --> 00:03:46,188
Speaker 6: I was like Seattle's number one fan. I was all

84
00:03:46,228 --> 00:03:48,948
Speaker 6: in on Sam Darnold, top five quarterback. I really was

85
00:03:49,028 --> 00:03:51,508
Speaker 6: high on them. And then this offseason came and like

86
00:03:51,548 --> 00:03:55,668
Speaker 6: you said, the hangover, I just I see the Kubiak exit.

87
00:03:55,708 --> 00:03:59,348
Speaker 6: And this happens with teams that win championships, right, they

88
00:03:59,348 --> 00:04:02,188
Speaker 6: lose a lot of guys, but Kubiak, I see Kenneth Walker,

89
00:04:02,548 --> 00:04:04,788
Speaker 6: and I'm just kind of confused by because the team

90
00:04:04,828 --> 00:04:06,868
Speaker 6: that had a lot of space cap space. So I

91
00:04:06,948 --> 00:04:08,548
Speaker 6: was in my mind, I'm like, they can bring back

92
00:04:08,588 --> 00:04:10,508
Speaker 6: everybody whoever they want to bring back, run it back,

93
00:04:10,548 --> 00:04:13,148
Speaker 6: get the gang back together, and it just didn't happen.

94
00:04:13,268 --> 00:04:15,268
Speaker 2: So unfortunately, the way.

95
00:04:15,108 --> 00:04:16,628
Speaker 6: I look at it, I don't think they're the team

96
00:04:16,628 --> 00:04:18,228
Speaker 6: to be in the NFC. I mean, they're going to

97
00:04:18,268 --> 00:04:20,508
Speaker 6: be a factor in the NFC because they still have

98
00:04:20,708 --> 00:04:23,028
Speaker 6: a great team, but I don't think they're going to be.

99
00:04:22,948 --> 00:04:23,948
Speaker 2: What they were last year.

100
00:04:24,148 --> 00:04:26,148
Speaker 6: The team that I'm looking at and I'm excited about,

101
00:04:26,188 --> 00:04:29,068
Speaker 6: and you'll probably agree with me, Brandon is the forty

102
00:04:29,148 --> 00:04:29,468
Speaker 6: nine Ers.

103
00:04:29,788 --> 00:04:32,468
Speaker 2: I think this Mike Evans piece, adding him with Hues.

104
00:04:32,708 --> 00:04:35,388
Speaker 6: I also think a lot of people because the end

105
00:04:35,428 --> 00:04:37,228
Speaker 6: of the year in the playoffs, you know, you're like,

106
00:04:37,308 --> 00:04:38,748
Speaker 6: where are the forty nine ers? A lot of people

107
00:04:38,788 --> 00:04:42,188
Speaker 6: forgot about how productive they were during the season with

108
00:04:42,348 --> 00:04:43,628
Speaker 6: the absence of so many guys.

109
00:04:43,628 --> 00:04:45,148
Speaker 2: I mean, there was a lot of injuries, there was.

110
00:04:45,148 --> 00:04:47,668
Speaker 6: A lot of issues, and they still found ways to win.

111
00:04:47,988 --> 00:04:49,908
Speaker 6: And then you just add in this Mike Evans piece,

112
00:04:49,948 --> 00:04:51,148
Speaker 6: and now, all of a sudden.

113
00:04:50,828 --> 00:04:53,788
Speaker 2: Party, who's been to the championship game.

114
00:04:54,548 --> 00:04:56,228
Speaker 6: Who's done the difficult things that a lot of other

115
00:04:56,308 --> 00:04:57,868
Speaker 6: quarterbacks in the NFL have not done.

116
00:04:57,988 --> 00:04:59,468
Speaker 2: Now he has this awesome weapon.

117
00:05:00,188 --> 00:05:02,068
Speaker 6: And one other piece that I want to note about

118
00:05:02,108 --> 00:05:03,828
Speaker 6: the forty nine ers is just the fact that they

119
00:05:03,828 --> 00:05:06,988
Speaker 6: have so much veteran leadership on your team, like Brandon.

120
00:05:07,028 --> 00:05:10,028
Speaker 6: You understand this when you have vets on your team,

121
00:05:10,428 --> 00:05:12,108
Speaker 6: and you're and you have a lot of excitement.

122
00:05:12,148 --> 00:05:13,628
Speaker 2: You have guys like Mike Evans.

123
00:05:13,308 --> 00:05:15,988
Speaker 6: You have pretty it means a ton like it changes

124
00:05:16,028 --> 00:05:17,828
Speaker 6: the whole dynamic. And they have Shannon and they have

125
00:05:17,868 --> 00:05:20,188
Speaker 6: all these pieces. So I'm watching the forty nine ers.

126
00:05:20,268 --> 00:05:21,908
Speaker 6: I'm excited about it. I know you probably have a

127
00:05:21,948 --> 00:05:24,868
Speaker 6: lot of opinions on the Mike Evans situation, Brandon, I

128
00:05:24,908 --> 00:05:25,708
Speaker 6: want to hear about it.

129
00:05:25,868 --> 00:05:27,468
Speaker 4: Yeah, No, I think at the end of the day,

130
00:05:27,788 --> 00:05:29,948
Speaker 4: I agree with you. I think it's gonna be hard

131
00:05:29,948 --> 00:05:32,708
Speaker 4: for Seattle to really repeat in the NFC West. I

132
00:05:32,748 --> 00:05:35,308
Speaker 4: think it's the greatest division in football right now, right,

133
00:05:35,388 --> 00:05:38,468
Speaker 4: no doubt. But what the Rams did this offseason, loading up,

134
00:05:38,548 --> 00:05:40,788
Speaker 4: you know with definitely and Watson that corner, I think

135
00:05:40,788 --> 00:05:43,348
Speaker 4: they filled those holes right to be able to stop,

136
00:05:43,388 --> 00:05:46,708
Speaker 4: like you said, Jamie, that passing attack you know from Seattle, right,

137
00:05:46,748 --> 00:05:50,588
Speaker 4: and then you lose Kenneth Walker Super Bowl MVP. I

138
00:05:50,588 --> 00:05:53,268
Speaker 4: think that's a hard piece of refill. But you know,

139
00:05:53,428 --> 00:05:55,468
Speaker 4: like you said, the Niners, anytime you got Kyle Shannon

140
00:05:55,548 --> 00:05:58,108
Speaker 4: as your head coach, got a you got a great opportunity,

141
00:05:58,828 --> 00:06:00,268
Speaker 4: you know, to win games. Like you said, they were

142
00:06:00,348 --> 00:06:03,028
Speaker 4: unhealthy last year and they still made the playoffs. But

143
00:06:03,268 --> 00:06:04,948
Speaker 4: at the end of the day, I think the Rams

144
00:06:05,028 --> 00:06:08,148
Speaker 4: take this one. And the reason why because you know,

145
00:06:08,188 --> 00:06:10,668
Speaker 4: they loaded up on defense and in that offense with

146
00:06:10,708 --> 00:06:14,148
Speaker 4: Sean McVay leading, that team is always going to be special.

147
00:06:14,228 --> 00:06:16,188
Speaker 8: It's the ultimate chess match. As you said, you're very

148
00:06:16,188 --> 00:06:19,188
Speaker 8: complimentary of the NFC West. These coaches are brilliant within

149
00:06:19,228 --> 00:06:22,828
Speaker 8: this division. So Sean McVay is essentially admitting, like, Okay, Seattle,

150
00:06:22,868 --> 00:06:24,788
Speaker 8: I see what you did. You have Sam Darnold, You're

151
00:06:24,788 --> 00:06:27,628
Speaker 8: going to invest in Jackson Smith and Jigba. We see

152
00:06:27,628 --> 00:06:30,428
Speaker 8: that with a Trent McDuffie move. So how have you

153
00:06:30,428 --> 00:06:32,508
Speaker 8: played against Trent McDuff feel like, have you had any

154
00:06:32,548 --> 00:06:34,788
Speaker 8: moments or when you watch him play? What makes him

155
00:06:34,788 --> 00:06:36,948
Speaker 8: so elite that really bolsters the round secondary.

156
00:06:37,028 --> 00:06:39,308
Speaker 4: I haven't had the chance to play against McDuffie. I've

157
00:06:39,308 --> 00:06:41,988
Speaker 4: obviously watched him on film, but I think what he brings.

158
00:06:42,028 --> 00:06:44,228
Speaker 4: He brings that tight defensive covers, right, you know, you

159
00:06:44,308 --> 00:06:46,788
Speaker 4: got that line, you know, you know for the Rams.

160
00:06:46,828 --> 00:06:48,028
Speaker 4: So at the end of the day, they're going to

161
00:06:48,068 --> 00:06:50,468
Speaker 4: get back there. McDuffie is going to be able to

162
00:06:50,748 --> 00:06:53,748
Speaker 4: follow your number one in this situation where we talk

163
00:06:53,788 --> 00:06:56,148
Speaker 4: about being able to follow js and throughout the game,

164
00:06:57,108 --> 00:06:58,308
Speaker 4: but at the end of the day, he just has

165
00:06:58,388 --> 00:07:01,268
Speaker 4: a play style to him, you know, a championship pedigree,

166
00:07:01,428 --> 00:07:03,308
Speaker 4: and he's going to bring that to that Rams defense.

167
00:07:03,348 --> 00:07:07,068
Speaker 8: Okay, so Isaaco forty nine ers, Brandon says, the Rams.

168
00:07:07,148 --> 00:07:09,908
Speaker 8: And we're still looking Willie at the Seahawks team that

169
00:07:10,148 --> 00:07:12,308
Speaker 8: just had a parade. So are you going to fill

170
00:07:12,308 --> 00:07:14,108
Speaker 8: in the blanks here for Seattle or are you going

171
00:07:14,188 --> 00:07:15,348
Speaker 8: to say elsewhere in the division?

172
00:07:15,508 --> 00:07:18,028
Speaker 7: Now, I'm going in the division, man, and I'm with Brandon.

173
00:07:18,068 --> 00:07:21,868
Speaker 7: I think it's the Rams. And my reason is because, listen,

174
00:07:21,948 --> 00:07:23,788
Speaker 7: they have an elite head coach of Sean McVay. They

175
00:07:23,788 --> 00:07:26,188
Speaker 7: have an elite quarterback in Stafford. You know, they have

176
00:07:26,228 --> 00:07:29,148
Speaker 7: a d line that canrrect games. And what makes the

177
00:07:29,228 --> 00:07:32,188
Speaker 7: Rams dangerous is their ability to win and multitude of ways.

178
00:07:32,468 --> 00:07:34,588
Speaker 7: If you need Stafford to throw the three hundred yards

179
00:07:34,668 --> 00:07:36,348
Speaker 7: and win a shoot out, they can do it. If

180
00:07:36,388 --> 00:07:38,828
Speaker 7: you need Sean mcvady getting his back and come up

181
00:07:38,828 --> 00:07:41,028
Speaker 7: with a thirteen personnel package like you did last year

182
00:07:41,028 --> 00:07:42,988
Speaker 7: with you Titans on the field, he can do it.

183
00:07:43,028 --> 00:07:44,148
Speaker 3: If you needed he Lions to.

184
00:07:44,388 --> 00:07:47,068
Speaker 7: Fight out close out games and get after the quarterback

185
00:07:47,468 --> 00:07:48,748
Speaker 7: and make him streak on the field.

186
00:07:48,828 --> 00:07:50,948
Speaker 3: They have that ability, and Brandon.

187
00:07:50,668 --> 00:07:54,428
Speaker 7: Called out the editions of Jalen Watson and Trip mcguffy.

188
00:07:54,828 --> 00:07:57,108
Speaker 7: This is probably the most complete team in the division.

189
00:07:57,188 --> 00:07:59,508
Speaker 7: So when you talk about the Rams, there's a theme

190
00:07:59,548 --> 00:08:01,708
Speaker 7: for the Rams going into this season. They want to

191
00:08:01,708 --> 00:08:03,868
Speaker 7: win for Stafford, right, they want to win for the

192
00:08:03,908 --> 00:08:05,428
Speaker 7: old man, and they want to see him host to

193
00:08:05,428 --> 00:08:08,068
Speaker 7: Steicky Lombardi. On top of that and be the Rams.

194
00:08:08,348 --> 00:08:10,428
Speaker 7: You also feel like this is your winner to win

195
00:08:10,548 --> 00:08:12,468
Speaker 7: now because you have a young deput the line that

196
00:08:12,508 --> 00:08:13,748
Speaker 7: you're going to have to figure out how are you

197
00:08:13,788 --> 00:08:14,588
Speaker 7: going to pay at the end.

198
00:08:14,548 --> 00:08:15,068
Speaker 3: Of this season.

199
00:08:15,268 --> 00:08:17,668
Speaker 7: A lot of them big boys in front aren't coming back.

200
00:08:17,908 --> 00:08:20,428
Speaker 7: So you got this great deputive depens the front. You

201
00:08:20,508 --> 00:08:23,788
Speaker 7: got a really future Hall of Fame quarterback in matthis Taffick.

202
00:08:24,068 --> 00:08:27,788
Speaker 7: You haven't you haven't had coach Field last year they

203
00:08:27,908 --> 00:08:30,148
Speaker 7: let one get by. They should have been in the

204
00:08:30,188 --> 00:08:33,628
Speaker 7: Super Bowl, but they lost championship. So for me, it's

205
00:08:33,668 --> 00:08:35,628
Speaker 7: the Rams. I think they have the most momentum going

206
00:08:35,628 --> 00:08:37,628
Speaker 7: into the season. I think they're probably the most hume

207
00:08:37,708 --> 00:08:40,068
Speaker 7: risk and arguably the most dangerous team in the NFL.

208
00:08:40,388 --> 00:08:42,708
Speaker 8: Well, you've been on great teams, You've been on You've

209
00:08:42,708 --> 00:08:45,988
Speaker 8: been on teams after they won a championship. How insulting

210
00:08:46,068 --> 00:08:47,628
Speaker 8: is this for us to sit up here and talk

211
00:08:47,628 --> 00:08:50,108
Speaker 8: about Seattle and what they did accomplish last year and

212
00:08:50,108 --> 00:08:52,668
Speaker 8: the fact that we're saying the Rams haven't made because

213
00:08:52,668 --> 00:08:53,588
Speaker 8: they could have been in it.

214
00:08:53,588 --> 00:08:55,028
Speaker 5: They should have been in it. They would have won

215
00:08:55,068 --> 00:08:55,508
Speaker 5: it if.

216
00:08:55,348 --> 00:08:57,588
Speaker 8: They had just beat Seattle in the NFC title game.

217
00:08:57,828 --> 00:09:00,028
Speaker 8: You're sitting up there with the Seahawks, whether you're in

218
00:09:00,028 --> 00:09:02,068
Speaker 8: the front office or on the coaching staff or frankly

219
00:09:02,108 --> 00:09:03,908
Speaker 8: one of fifty three at this point, how do you

220
00:09:03,908 --> 00:09:04,228
Speaker 8: think this.

221
00:09:04,228 --> 00:09:04,948
Speaker 5: May be the feel?

222
00:09:05,188 --> 00:09:08,028
Speaker 7: Well, I don't think we're wrong if we're questioning their stability.

223
00:09:08,148 --> 00:09:11,188
Speaker 7: I mean, you League League, you watch guys like Kobe Bryant, Lee,

224
00:09:11,348 --> 00:09:13,868
Speaker 7: Reef Looten, right, you see some of their keep pieces

225
00:09:14,108 --> 00:09:16,988
Speaker 7: on defense, walk out the building and you forget. You

226
00:09:17,068 --> 00:09:20,068
Speaker 7: say to yourself, well, yes, Sam Darnol was great, Yeah,

227
00:09:20,148 --> 00:09:22,068
Speaker 7: Kenneth Walker was great. But what led them to the

228
00:09:22,068 --> 00:09:24,868
Speaker 7: Super Bowl was that elite defense. What showed up on

229
00:09:24,948 --> 00:09:27,308
Speaker 7: Super Bowl Sunday was that elite defense and you start

230
00:09:27,308 --> 00:09:29,548
Speaker 7: seeing pieces walk out the building. You say, man, I

231
00:09:29,588 --> 00:09:31,028
Speaker 7: don't know if this is going to be the same club.

232
00:09:31,228 --> 00:09:33,788
Speaker 7: Because you watch the of what the forty Niners were

233
00:09:33,828 --> 00:09:35,988
Speaker 7: able to do. You were able to see the rams

234
00:09:36,068 --> 00:09:38,948
Speaker 7: upgrade in the secondary. And by the way, it wasn't

235
00:09:38,988 --> 00:09:41,548
Speaker 7: an easy road to the Super Bowl for Seattle.

236
00:09:41,548 --> 00:09:43,428
Speaker 3: They had to go through some Dolph fights to get there.

237
00:09:43,708 --> 00:09:45,308
Speaker 7: And by the grace of God, they were a complete

238
00:09:45,308 --> 00:09:47,788
Speaker 7: outfit and some elite coaching and got them over the hunt.

239
00:09:47,988 --> 00:09:49,468
Speaker 3: But I don't think anybody.

240
00:09:49,068 --> 00:09:51,868
Speaker 7: Is in the wrong for questioning, questioning what the Seahawks

241
00:09:51,908 --> 00:09:53,748
Speaker 7: are going to look like next season and if they

242
00:09:53,748 --> 00:09:55,228
Speaker 7: can get back to the Super Bowl, because I tell

243
00:09:55,228 --> 00:09:58,108
Speaker 7: you this, Jami, this is this is what these people forget.

244
00:09:58,108 --> 00:09:59,868
Speaker 7: A guy who's been in the Super Bowls one to

245
00:09:59,948 --> 00:10:02,628
Speaker 7: one lost one. The league has a has a has

246
00:10:02,668 --> 00:10:05,548
Speaker 7: a great way of counterpunching. Right, they go back into

247
00:10:05,588 --> 00:10:08,108
Speaker 7: next season, they see who the target is and everybody

248
00:10:08,188 --> 00:10:10,868
Speaker 7: in the off she said season goes, Hey, that's them,

249
00:10:11,028 --> 00:10:13,428
Speaker 7: let's go get them. So the Seahawk right now, they

250
00:10:13,468 --> 00:10:15,508
Speaker 7: got a big target on the back, and can they

251
00:10:15,548 --> 00:10:17,828
Speaker 7: take the CounterPunch from the NFL and other teams looking

252
00:10:17,868 --> 00:10:20,588
Speaker 7: to be in the Super Bowl next year.

253
00:10:21,108 --> 00:10:22,868
Speaker 8: All right, So, I think Isaac you had a bit

254
00:10:22,908 --> 00:10:24,828
Speaker 8: of a Freudian slip because the way you started to

255
00:10:24,868 --> 00:10:27,628
Speaker 8: answer my first question when I asked about the NFC West,

256
00:10:27,988 --> 00:10:30,948
Speaker 8: you said NFC a couple times, like immediately you just

257
00:10:30,988 --> 00:10:34,308
Speaker 8: went to the conference and not division specific. But if

258
00:10:34,308 --> 00:10:36,628
Speaker 8: we're going to talk about the Rams as favorably as

259
00:10:36,668 --> 00:10:39,068
Speaker 8: we have been doing so far this morning, then let's

260
00:10:39,068 --> 00:10:40,308
Speaker 8: look at the conference as a whole.

261
00:10:40,388 --> 00:10:42,308
Speaker 5: Let's look at the NFC and.

262
00:10:42,228 --> 00:10:44,948
Speaker 8: Inspect the Rams and compare this as the total landscape,

263
00:10:44,948 --> 00:10:46,468
Speaker 8: because there are some other teams that are up and

264
00:10:46,468 --> 00:10:48,708
Speaker 8: coming as well, whether it be the Bears, whether it

265
00:10:48,708 --> 00:10:50,348
Speaker 8: be is there going to be a resurgence with the

266
00:10:50,348 --> 00:10:52,588
Speaker 8: Eagles and whatever the other teams in the NFC want

267
00:10:52,628 --> 00:10:55,108
Speaker 8: to decide to do. Where does this put Sean McVay

268
00:10:55,148 --> 00:10:56,988
Speaker 8: and the Rams when you look at the NFC as

269
00:10:57,028 --> 00:10:57,348
Speaker 8: a whole.

270
00:10:57,468 --> 00:10:59,348
Speaker 6: Yeah, Well, first off, I do have to touch on

271
00:10:59,348 --> 00:11:02,868
Speaker 6: that NFC thing, because this division, the NFC West, is

272
00:11:03,028 --> 00:11:05,668
Speaker 6: like arguably one of the best we've seen in football.

273
00:11:05,668 --> 00:11:08,988
Speaker 6: On Yeah, I think you could compare it maybe to

274
00:11:09,068 --> 00:11:11,828
Speaker 6: the AFC West A few years ago, when you know

275
00:11:11,908 --> 00:11:17,028
Speaker 6: the Chiefs, Chargers, Broncos, like these teams are ruling, but

276
00:11:17,188 --> 00:11:21,188
Speaker 6: like this division right now, I mean, look at the

277
00:11:21,228 --> 00:11:23,868
Speaker 6: records like it speaks for itself. It's very obvious. But

278
00:11:24,268 --> 00:11:27,428
Speaker 6: let's talk about the RAMS specifically. I think one of

279
00:11:27,468 --> 00:11:30,908
Speaker 6: the most quiet pieces of the RAMS that is not

280
00:11:31,028 --> 00:11:34,988
Speaker 6: talked about enough is this DeVante Adams Matthew Stafford connection.

281
00:11:35,428 --> 00:11:37,948
Speaker 6: I mean, Stafford was the league's MVP. This is all obvious,

282
00:11:38,388 --> 00:11:41,828
Speaker 6: and he had a receiver that was breaking records in

283
00:11:41,908 --> 00:11:44,348
Speaker 6: red zone touchdowns like we got Brandon on the show.

284
00:11:44,388 --> 00:11:46,428
Speaker 6: You know about receiver play in the red zone.

285
00:11:46,468 --> 00:11:47,348
Speaker 2: How important it is.

286
00:11:47,588 --> 00:11:50,428
Speaker 6: Davante like he has the I factor.

287
00:11:50,068 --> 00:11:51,668
Speaker 2: In the clutch factor in the red zone.

288
00:11:51,828 --> 00:11:55,268
Speaker 6: His route running running elevates, he doesn't drop balls, and

289
00:11:55,308 --> 00:11:57,908
Speaker 6: it totally changes the way your offense is run because

290
00:11:57,948 --> 00:12:00,308
Speaker 6: McVeigh gets to the red zone and guess what, you

291
00:12:00,388 --> 00:12:04,868
Speaker 6: have a record breaking receiver to throw to. Also, the

292
00:12:04,908 --> 00:12:07,028
Speaker 6: stuff that you can't put on this screen and you

293
00:12:07,068 --> 00:12:08,828
Speaker 6: can't put on a stats, the fact that he's a

294
00:12:08,828 --> 00:12:10,908
Speaker 6: great teammate and great guy. I don't know how well

295
00:12:10,948 --> 00:12:14,788
Speaker 6: you know Davonte Brandon, but I played with him Davante.

296
00:12:15,068 --> 00:12:18,108
Speaker 6: He's a fellow girl dad, which we love. He cares

297
00:12:18,108 --> 00:12:20,148
Speaker 6: about his teammates. He's one of the most.

298
00:12:19,908 --> 00:12:21,268
Speaker 2: Passionate guys that I've ever seen.

299
00:12:21,268 --> 00:12:24,228
Speaker 6: If you see videos of Davante on the sideline throwing

300
00:12:24,268 --> 00:12:26,428
Speaker 6: a helmet and you're like, oh, this guy is, you know,

301
00:12:26,428 --> 00:12:28,868
Speaker 6: throwing a fit. No, it's because he's super passionate. And

302
00:12:28,908 --> 00:12:30,588
Speaker 6: when he does that, he comes in the locker room

303
00:12:30,628 --> 00:12:32,868
Speaker 6: the next day and he explains why he was doing that.

304
00:12:33,068 --> 00:12:35,748
Speaker 6: And I think that's what makes the Rams so special.

305
00:12:35,788 --> 00:12:38,308
Speaker 6: They have guys like that that can lead the team.

306
00:12:38,348 --> 00:12:40,828
Speaker 6: I talked about veteran leadership, how important that is. You

307
00:12:40,948 --> 00:12:44,068
Speaker 6: got Davante in the same room with Puka Nukua.

308
00:12:44,148 --> 00:12:45,588
Speaker 5: I can't believe it took you this long to say

309
00:12:45,588 --> 00:12:46,548
Speaker 5: Pooka Nku's name.

310
00:12:46,588 --> 00:12:48,348
Speaker 2: I was like, this is incredible for you.

311
00:12:48,468 --> 00:12:50,788
Speaker 8: No, No, like, it's actually a compliment to what the Rams

312
00:12:50,828 --> 00:12:51,108
Speaker 8: have done.

313
00:12:51,108 --> 00:12:52,548
Speaker 5: I was waiting, Isaac. I was like, how long is

314
00:12:52,548 --> 00:12:54,468
Speaker 5: it going to be going to be?

315
00:12:54,428 --> 00:12:56,268
Speaker 8: Because Davanta is awesome, but the fact that they have

316
00:12:56,268 --> 00:12:57,828
Speaker 8: Pooka in that group is insane.

317
00:12:57,948 --> 00:13:00,348
Speaker 6: Well, also, I'm gonna pass it to you, Brandon, but

318
00:13:00,348 --> 00:13:02,148
Speaker 6: I will say Pooka, if you're watching this.

319
00:13:02,468 --> 00:13:04,948
Speaker 2: I know you're thankful for some of these receiver.

320
00:13:04,788 --> 00:13:09,348
Speaker 6: Contracts that are happenings at home, celebrating before even signs

321
00:13:09,588 --> 00:13:12,308
Speaker 6: signs of favor. So either way, Davante is such an

322
00:13:12,308 --> 00:13:14,508
Speaker 6: in factor for this team. You know, all the other stuff,

323
00:13:14,508 --> 00:13:16,988
Speaker 6: but Davante, in my opinion, is the guy that really

324
00:13:17,028 --> 00:13:17,788
Speaker 6: is the game changer.

325
00:13:17,948 --> 00:13:18,148
Speaker 2: Yeah.

326
00:13:18,268 --> 00:13:20,028
Speaker 4: No, I have to agree with you. At the end

327
00:13:20,028 --> 00:13:22,508
Speaker 4: of the day, we're talking about the NFC as a whole,

328
00:13:22,588 --> 00:13:25,068
Speaker 4: but it's really the NFC West that's going to in

329
00:13:25,108 --> 00:13:26,788
Speaker 4: my opinion, that's going to take it. And I agree

330
00:13:26,828 --> 00:13:28,268
Speaker 4: with you with the Rams. I think what I love

331
00:13:28,308 --> 00:13:30,188
Speaker 4: about the Rams. They're going back to what the Rams

332
00:13:30,228 --> 00:13:32,828
Speaker 4: do right, and that's you know, forget them picks, you know.

333
00:13:32,908 --> 00:13:36,068
Speaker 4: And I think I think, you know, coach McVeigh understand

334
00:13:36,068 --> 00:13:38,348
Speaker 4: that this window is closing for Matthew Stafford on his

335
00:13:38,428 --> 00:13:40,708
Speaker 4: back nine, right, and so let's they're pressed to win

336
00:13:40,788 --> 00:13:43,588
Speaker 4: another one, you know, pretty soon, because you know how

337
00:13:43,668 --> 00:13:45,908
Speaker 4: much longer staff are going to play. We don't know.

338
00:13:47,108 --> 00:13:49,108
Speaker 4: But at the end of the day, having Davante Adams

339
00:13:49,348 --> 00:13:52,188
Speaker 4: is so clutch. Obviously we know about Pooka and being

340
00:13:52,188 --> 00:13:54,108
Speaker 4: able to make those big plays out in the open field,

341
00:13:54,148 --> 00:13:55,788
Speaker 4: but once you get to the red zone at the

342
00:13:55,868 --> 00:13:58,388
Speaker 4: end of the day, it's like, all right, Davante, go win.

343
00:13:58,428 --> 00:13:59,108
Speaker 2: It's time. You know.

344
00:13:59,228 --> 00:14:01,468
Speaker 8: Is Sean McVay like a human cup of coffee to

345
00:14:01,468 --> 00:14:03,308
Speaker 8: be around and get all these pictures of you with him,

346
00:14:03,388 --> 00:14:05,868
Speaker 8: This is fantastic. What's he like in the meeting room?

347
00:14:05,868 --> 00:14:07,788
Speaker 8: I've just even seen him in the hallway in the building.

348
00:14:07,868 --> 00:14:10,308
Speaker 4: You know, his energy is so contagious. He's never tired.

349
00:14:10,428 --> 00:14:12,188
Speaker 4: You know, the guy's up about four or five in

350
00:14:12,228 --> 00:14:15,708
Speaker 4: the morning going over you know, offensive schemes. So got

351
00:14:15,748 --> 00:14:18,548
Speaker 4: a lot of love for coach McVeigh. You know, at

352
00:14:18,548 --> 00:14:19,948
Speaker 4: the end of the day, I think it's his for

353
00:14:19,988 --> 00:14:22,028
Speaker 4: the take and he felt what how they lost last

354
00:14:22,108 --> 00:14:24,548
Speaker 4: year in the NFC Championship and so not to be

355
00:14:24,628 --> 00:14:26,148
Speaker 4: content and just sit there and be like, well we

356
00:14:26,228 --> 00:14:28,588
Speaker 4: got there, we can get there again. They went out

357
00:14:28,588 --> 00:14:30,268
Speaker 4: of some pieces and I think they're back there and

358
00:14:30,308 --> 00:14:31,628
Speaker 4: this time going to Super Bowl.

359
00:14:31,468 --> 00:14:31,868
Speaker 5: Don't you think.

360
00:14:33,188 --> 00:14:33,388
Speaker 3: Yeah.

361
00:14:33,428 --> 00:14:35,028
Speaker 7: I think one of the things that when we talk

362
00:14:35,068 --> 00:14:37,668
Speaker 7: about the Rams that we don't talk about a lot

363
00:14:37,868 --> 00:14:40,748
Speaker 7: is this defense, who we praised a lot, by the way,

364
00:14:41,068 --> 00:14:44,268
Speaker 7: is they failed to close out games. And when I

365
00:14:44,468 --> 00:14:47,948
Speaker 7: heard interviews with Jared Verse and Kobe Turner, you know

366
00:14:48,068 --> 00:14:50,308
Speaker 7: they feel like they let this team down, especially towards

367
00:14:50,308 --> 00:14:52,868
Speaker 7: the back end of the season. They were so much

368
00:14:53,188 --> 00:14:56,348
Speaker 7: dependent on this front four to be game wreppers, and

369
00:14:56,388 --> 00:14:59,188
Speaker 7: sometimes that didn't line it with the secondary. They couldn't

370
00:14:59,268 --> 00:15:01,308
Speaker 7: they couldn't align at the same time. But you had

371
00:15:01,308 --> 00:15:03,308
Speaker 7: the defense wrecking games, but they were giving up big

372
00:15:03,348 --> 00:15:05,188
Speaker 7: plays in the back. And now that you have Trip

373
00:15:05,268 --> 00:15:07,268
Speaker 7: McDuffie and you have Jalen Watson, they feel like they

374
00:15:07,308 --> 00:15:10,388
Speaker 7: got playmakers back there that can get this defense and sing.

375
00:15:10,628 --> 00:15:12,988
Speaker 7: I think this defensive line and this defense as a

376
00:15:12,988 --> 00:15:15,548
Speaker 7: whole feel like they owed it to this team to

377
00:15:15,628 --> 00:15:18,148
Speaker 7: get back to get to the Super Bowl. You watch

378
00:15:18,188 --> 00:15:21,028
Speaker 7: Stafford and this offense carry this defense time after time,

379
00:15:21,228 --> 00:15:23,388
Speaker 7: and I've been by the way in my own career.

380
00:15:23,428 --> 00:15:25,148
Speaker 7: When I was a Steeler man, I played with an

381
00:15:25,228 --> 00:15:28,628
Speaker 7: historic defense which led by Troy Polamolo and James Harris

382
00:15:28,668 --> 00:15:29,828
Speaker 7: and Casey Hanton.

383
00:15:29,868 --> 00:15:31,908
Speaker 3: The names go on and on and on, and there

384
00:15:31,948 --> 00:15:32,828
Speaker 3: were times as.

385
00:15:32,748 --> 00:15:35,428
Speaker 7: An offense we felt like we were so dependent on

386
00:15:35,508 --> 00:15:38,068
Speaker 7: defense to constantly get us over the hump when it

387
00:15:38,108 --> 00:15:39,308
Speaker 7: was time for us to respond.

388
00:15:39,588 --> 00:15:41,508
Speaker 3: At times we were shell shocked. We didn't know how

389
00:15:41,548 --> 00:15:41,988
Speaker 3: to respond.

390
00:15:42,148 --> 00:15:44,628
Speaker 7: We depend on the defense, and I think that's what

391
00:15:44,708 --> 00:15:46,828
Speaker 7: happened to the Rams defense. They were still dependent on

392
00:15:46,868 --> 00:15:49,268
Speaker 7: the offensive side of the ball to constantly get them

393
00:15:49,268 --> 00:15:51,228
Speaker 7: through games. When they got in a shootout and when

394
00:15:51,228 --> 00:15:53,108
Speaker 7: they got in a dog fight with the Rams, they

395
00:15:53,148 --> 00:15:55,468
Speaker 7: didn't know how to respond because they were so dependent

396
00:15:55,508 --> 00:15:57,988
Speaker 7: on the production of the offense. So that's something I

397
00:15:57,988 --> 00:15:59,868
Speaker 7: feel like this Rams defense is going to have to

398
00:15:59,908 --> 00:16:02,628
Speaker 7: counter and be better at next season because we know Stafford,

399
00:16:02,668 --> 00:16:04,868
Speaker 7: we know Puka, we know DeVonta, we know so that

400
00:16:04,948 --> 00:16:09,468
Speaker 7: hole outfit offensive side of the ball is on deliver defensively,

401
00:16:09,468 --> 00:16:11,188
Speaker 7: Can they walk out the bendo and walk out the

402
00:16:11,188 --> 00:16:13,508
Speaker 7: bendo with a doub because the defense closed out games.

403
00:16:13,708 --> 00:16:15,268
Speaker 7: That's going to be a big That's gonna be a

404
00:16:15,308 --> 00:16:17,468
Speaker 7: big challenge for this Ram defense going into next season.

405
00:16:18,708 --> 00:16:23,348
Speaker 2: It's time for going for two fuel bigator in that's right.

406
00:16:23,588 --> 00:16:26,348
Speaker 8: I was at a child's birthday party recently and there

407
00:16:26,348 --> 00:16:29,468
Speaker 8: were some let's say teenage girls around big sisters of

408
00:16:29,508 --> 00:16:31,868
Speaker 8: the birthday boy, and they found out what I did

409
00:16:31,948 --> 00:16:34,908
Speaker 8: for work, and the immediate question I got was have

410
00:16:34,948 --> 00:16:37,588
Speaker 8: you ever interviewed Travis Kelsey? Like that's still the question

411
00:16:38,148 --> 00:16:40,708
Speaker 8: for many depending on the age. Like still the most

412
00:16:40,708 --> 00:16:43,348
Speaker 8: popular person in the NFL, and the Chiefs are going

413
00:16:43,388 --> 00:16:46,308
Speaker 8: to capitalize on that, not only his popularity off the field,

414
00:16:46,588 --> 00:16:48,748
Speaker 8: but what he can do on the field, especially when

415
00:16:48,788 --> 00:16:51,588
Speaker 8: Travis Kelsey and Patrick Mahomes link up.

416
00:16:51,668 --> 00:16:52,748
Speaker 5: So there it is.

417
00:16:52,828 --> 00:16:55,708
Speaker 8: We have found out now that Travis Kelcey signed a

418
00:16:55,748 --> 00:16:59,548
Speaker 8: three year, nearly fifty five million dollars deal that is

419
00:16:59,548 --> 00:17:01,628
Speaker 8: worth up to fifty seven million dollars according to NFL

420
00:17:01,668 --> 00:17:05,228
Speaker 8: network insider Ian Rappaport. Now, we were just talking about

421
00:17:05,228 --> 00:17:07,588
Speaker 8: this off camera with Brandon Cookes and Isaac and Willie,

422
00:17:07,748 --> 00:17:11,268
Speaker 8: Like it's a three year deal to say it out loud,

423
00:17:11,308 --> 00:17:13,428
Speaker 8: but what does this really look like down the stretch

424
00:17:13,468 --> 00:17:15,748
Speaker 8: for Travis For the Chiefs, We're kind of on a

425
00:17:15,788 --> 00:17:17,588
Speaker 8: one year and we'll see how it goes. Kind of

426
00:17:17,588 --> 00:17:19,828
Speaker 8: thing with this tight end because of everything he has

427
00:17:19,868 --> 00:17:22,028
Speaker 8: going on off the field. But this is the ultimate

428
00:17:22,068 --> 00:17:25,468
Speaker 8: respect mark for Travis Kelcey, And of course he approached

429
00:17:25,468 --> 00:17:28,508
Speaker 8: the Kansas City Chiefs and the media contingency yesterday to

430
00:17:28,708 --> 00:17:29,308
Speaker 8: discuss his.

431
00:17:29,308 --> 00:17:33,348
Speaker 3: Future Chiefs Kingdom. Let's go maybe it's official.

432
00:17:33,508 --> 00:17:35,828
Speaker 7: Excited for twenty twenty six and just excited to put

433
00:17:35,908 --> 00:17:37,788
Speaker 7: on a Chief uniform in front of you guys again.

434
00:17:38,108 --> 00:17:40,948

Speaker 3: Hopeful, rehabs going good.

439
00:18:06,348 --> 00:18:07,788
Speaker 8: You can't tell me that's the first time those two

440
00:18:07,908 --> 00:18:09,748
Speaker 8: facetimes in a while. I feel like that just for

441
00:18:09,868 --> 00:18:12,388
Speaker 8: my own like satisfaction of their friendship. I want them

442
00:18:12,428 --> 00:18:13,948
Speaker 8: to talk all the time like he's I hope he

443
00:18:14,028 --> 00:18:14,668
Speaker 8: rehab's going well.

444
00:18:14,708 --> 00:18:15,468
Speaker 2: Travis, you've heard that.

445
00:18:15,548 --> 00:18:17,668
Speaker 8: We need you to intimately know how the rehab is

446
00:18:17,708 --> 00:18:20,988
Speaker 8: going because everybody wants Patrick Mahomes Travis Kelcey back on

447
00:18:21,068 --> 00:18:23,308
Speaker 8: the field today. All right, So now that we have

448
00:18:23,428 --> 00:18:27,428
Speaker 8: all of this information regarding the Chiefs offense, complete the

449
00:18:27,508 --> 00:18:31,108
Speaker 8: sentence and going for two, uh, the Chiefs will get

450
00:18:31,348 --> 00:18:34,908
Speaker 8: Arrowhead rocking again, if Isaac I.

451
00:18:34,828 --> 00:18:36,908
Speaker 6: Mean, well, naturally, my answer should be like if the

452
00:18:36,948 --> 00:18:39,948
Speaker 6: season happens, because Arrowhead is always rock It's always great.

453
00:18:40,068 --> 00:18:43,748
Speaker 6: I've played there so many times places unreal. But I'm

454
00:18:43,788 --> 00:18:45,708
Speaker 6: gonna say this, this is a little bit of a

455
00:18:45,748 --> 00:18:47,908
Speaker 6: I'm going to go for a fest here if they

456
00:18:47,948 --> 00:18:53,108
Speaker 6: resign Tyreehose. Oh yes, I'm feeling this energy, like I

457
00:18:53,148 --> 00:18:54,348
Speaker 6: think everybody can.

458
00:18:54,268 --> 00:18:56,308
Speaker 2: Kind of feel it, like the three year deal for.

459
00:18:56,348 --> 00:18:59,108
Speaker 6: Travis Kelcey that everybody thought was going to retire. Okay,

460
00:18:59,148 --> 00:19:03,668
Speaker 6: Mahomes is going to be healthy. Okay, Kenneth Walker is coming.

461
00:19:03,748 --> 00:19:04,108
Speaker 2: He's coming.

462
00:19:04,948 --> 00:19:08,948
Speaker 6: The enemy's back. I mean, the Gang is bad. Can

463
00:19:08,988 --> 00:19:11,348
Speaker 6: we just get Tyreek Hill? I mean I feel like

464
00:19:11,428 --> 00:19:13,908
Speaker 6: Tyreek Hill, like a lot of us, you know, you don't.

465
00:19:13,708 --> 00:19:15,548
Speaker 2: Know what you got till it's gone. That's like you

466
00:19:15,588 --> 00:19:18,268
Speaker 2: know age old statement. I feel like he went.

467
00:19:18,108 --> 00:19:20,188
Speaker 6: To Miami and he's probably like, you know what, why

468
00:19:20,228 --> 00:19:22,988
Speaker 6: don't I just go get some more hardware? Like I

469
00:19:22,988 --> 00:19:25,788
Speaker 6: don't know what the drama and the dramatics were in

470
00:19:25,788 --> 00:19:28,508
Speaker 6: the locker room and with the upper management, with Tyreek

471
00:19:28,588 --> 00:19:31,108
Speaker 6: and the Gang, I don't think it matters anymore. I

472
00:19:31,108 --> 00:19:33,388
Speaker 6: don't think he cares. I don't think they care. I

473
00:19:33,428 --> 00:19:37,268
Speaker 6: think this last season for everybody, the Chiefs and for Tyreek,

474
00:19:37,508 --> 00:19:39,148
Speaker 6: it's kind of a wake up call, like let's just

475
00:19:39,228 --> 00:19:41,508
Speaker 6: get the gang back together, throw the piece sign up.

476
00:19:42,148 --> 00:19:44,268
Speaker 6: It's kind of unbelievable. And then real quick on the

477
00:19:44,268 --> 00:19:46,908
Speaker 6: Travis Kelce deal. I do think what you said though,

478
00:19:46,948 --> 00:19:49,908
Speaker 6: is real. Like I think having Travis Kelzi, they're signing

479
00:19:49,948 --> 00:19:51,868
Speaker 6: him to a three year deal, whatever that even means.

480
00:19:52,028 --> 00:19:54,108
Speaker 2: I think it's good for Arrowhead. I think it's good

481
00:19:54,148 --> 00:19:56,028
Speaker 2: for the Chiefs. I think people like it.

482
00:19:56,628 --> 00:19:59,268
Speaker 6: He's a great enough tight end to you know, sure,

483
00:19:59,348 --> 00:20:01,348
Speaker 6: we'll give you a three year deal, maybe retire after two.

484
00:20:01,348 --> 00:20:03,348
Speaker 6: Who cares. We want you here. So I think it's

485
00:20:03,388 --> 00:20:05,148
Speaker 6: awesome Brandon. You've played there.

486
00:20:05,228 --> 00:20:06,908
Speaker 2: You know, you've played in that stadium. You know how

487
00:20:06,948 --> 00:20:07,148
Speaker 2: that is.

488
00:20:07,228 --> 00:20:08,788
Speaker 4: I mean, it's one of a lot of stadiums in

489
00:20:08,788 --> 00:20:12,508
Speaker 4: the league, right. But I think, first of all, it's

490
00:20:12,508 --> 00:20:14,428
Speaker 4: a legendary signing. You don't let a guy like that

491
00:20:14,548 --> 00:20:17,708
Speaker 4: walk away regardleing of what it is at the end

492
00:20:17,748 --> 00:20:19,468
Speaker 4: of his career. You sign him to that deal, and

493
00:20:19,468 --> 00:20:21,268
Speaker 4: it's like, all right, thank you for everything you've done.

494
00:20:21,268 --> 00:20:23,028
Speaker 4: But at the same time, I think he can still play.

495
00:20:23,028 --> 00:20:25,268
Speaker 4: He's going to show up, you know, on Sundays at

496
00:20:25,268 --> 00:20:26,828
Speaker 4: a high level and do some of those things that

497
00:20:26,908 --> 00:20:29,228
Speaker 4: you might not get from a younger guy. And then

498
00:20:29,268 --> 00:20:30,988
Speaker 4: on top of that, like you said, bring the band

499
00:20:30,988 --> 00:20:33,628
Speaker 4: back together, bring Tyreek Hill back right after that gruesome

500
00:20:33,668 --> 00:20:35,828
Speaker 4: injury he's had. I think the best thing for him

501
00:20:35,868 --> 00:20:37,548
Speaker 4: is to go back to a place that he knows

502
00:20:37,828 --> 00:20:40,028
Speaker 4: and in the place that know him, and you know,

503
00:20:40,068 --> 00:20:42,468
Speaker 4: to really be able to focus on his recovery, get

504
00:20:42,508 --> 00:20:44,308
Speaker 4: back out there and do the things that we've seen

505
00:20:44,348 --> 00:20:47,268
Speaker 4: him do all you know, throughout the years with Mahomes.

506
00:20:47,348 --> 00:20:50,548
Speaker 4: So you get those, you know, those two pieces clidified.

507
00:20:51,068 --> 00:20:53,628
Speaker 4: Tyreek back in the building, Kingdon walking in the backfield.

508
00:20:53,828 --> 00:20:57,028
Speaker 4: You know, Mahomes come back from a great recovery. You

509
00:20:57,068 --> 00:20:59,148
Speaker 4: know you're talking about watch out Kansas City.

510
00:20:59,228 --> 00:21:02,548
Speaker 2: T Oh yeah, yeah.

511
00:21:02,628 --> 00:21:05,228
Speaker 7: The Chiefs will get rocking again when they can scoring

512
00:21:05,268 --> 00:21:07,628
Speaker 7: at a scoring the red zone at elite level. You know,

513
00:21:07,708 --> 00:21:09,708
Speaker 7: for me, when I when I look about when I

514
00:21:09,748 --> 00:21:12,108
Speaker 7: look about when I think about the Chiefs last season,

515
00:21:12,148 --> 00:21:13,108
Speaker 7: excuse me, yeah, they.

516
00:21:13,108 --> 00:21:15,108
Speaker 3: Can, they can. They can get it done.

517
00:21:15,108 --> 00:21:16,908
Speaker 7: In between the twenties is when they get inside the

518
00:21:16,908 --> 00:21:20,348
Speaker 7: twenties when things become turbulent. You understand, they scored thirty

519
00:21:20,348 --> 00:21:23,308
Speaker 7: three touchdowns last season, but they also kick thirty one

520
00:21:23,348 --> 00:21:26,508
Speaker 7: field goals, and so when you think about this Chiefs

521
00:21:26,548 --> 00:21:29,988
Speaker 7: team now, with the addition of Kenneth Walker and his

522
00:21:30,068 --> 00:21:31,468
Speaker 7: ability to pretty much.

523
00:21:31,428 --> 00:21:33,388
Speaker 3: Run between the tackles, you have Eric the enemy.

524
00:21:33,748 --> 00:21:36,548
Speaker 7: I expected the run game to really be the lift,

525
00:21:36,868 --> 00:21:38,748
Speaker 7: to be the bricks that lift off the fact to

526
00:21:38,788 --> 00:21:41,348
Speaker 7: my home shoulder, because I think the Chiefs are act

527
00:21:41,348 --> 00:21:44,428
Speaker 7: the best when they're able to run the ball with deficiencies,

528
00:21:44,468 --> 00:21:47,188
Speaker 7: especially inside the red zone. You talk about some of

529
00:21:47,228 --> 00:21:49,068
Speaker 7: the teams that are able to do their elite level,

530
00:21:49,148 --> 00:21:52,468
Speaker 7: like the Buffalo Bills have seven percent converger.

531
00:21:52,148 --> 00:21:53,748
Speaker 3: Rate in the red zone. You talk about the Eagles,

532
00:21:53,788 --> 00:21:54,108
Speaker 3: they do.

533
00:21:54,148 --> 00:21:57,108
Speaker 7: They're very good despite some of their deficiencies, They're very

534
00:21:57,108 --> 00:21:57,828
Speaker 7: good in the red zone.

535
00:21:57,868 --> 00:22:00,068
Speaker 3: The Chiefs have to be better in the red zone.

536
00:22:00,068 --> 00:22:02,908
Speaker 7: At an elite level, they're okay, but I want to

537
00:22:02,908 --> 00:22:04,788
Speaker 7: see the Chiefs can't get to that elite level pervert

538
00:22:04,828 --> 00:22:05,508
Speaker 7: in the red zone.

539
00:22:05,788 --> 00:22:09,388
Speaker 8: Truilly watching the Chiefs this last season was very uncomfortable

540
00:22:09,548 --> 00:22:11,308
Speaker 8: because in years past they would get into the red

541
00:22:11,388 --> 00:22:12,988
Speaker 8: zone and you're like, oh, this is a given, it's

542
00:22:12,988 --> 00:22:14,428
Speaker 8: points on the board, we know how this is going

543
00:22:14,508 --> 00:22:17,068
Speaker 8: to go. And as the season went on, especially after

544
00:22:17,148 --> 00:22:19,908
Speaker 8: Patrick Mahomes's injury, they would get within the twenties and

545
00:22:19,948 --> 00:22:21,628
Speaker 8: you're like, oh no, Like, what is this going to

546
00:22:21,708 --> 00:22:23,988
Speaker 8: look like? It's not fun. We don't want that for

547
00:22:24,068 --> 00:22:27,948
Speaker 8: the Chiefs. So they obviously reassigned Travis Kelcey. Tyree Kill

548
00:22:28,028 --> 00:22:30,428
Speaker 8: is out there looming. We'll see how that goes, and

549
00:22:30,948 --> 00:22:33,748
Speaker 8: they make the move to sign the Super Bowl MVP.

550
00:22:33,948 --> 00:22:36,748
Speaker 8: They bring running back Kenneth Walker the third to Kansas

551
00:22:36,748 --> 00:22:39,988
Speaker 8: City and free agency. However, a couple of mock drafts

552
00:22:40,188 --> 00:22:44,548
Speaker 8: also have the following prospect possibly calling Kansas City home

553
00:22:44,588 --> 00:22:45,868
Speaker 8: in the twenty twenty sixth draft.

554
00:22:45,868 --> 00:22:55,028
Speaker 5: Because the Chiefs have the number nine pick, is.

555
00:22:56,188 --> 00:23:04,188
Speaker 3: Football at its part of the notion.

556
00:23:06,348 --> 00:23:08,868
Speaker 8: Okay, so again, let's acknowledge the fact that they already

557
00:23:08,868 --> 00:23:11,748
Speaker 8: signed Kenneth Walker third, and whether or not Jeremiah Love

558
00:23:11,828 --> 00:23:13,868
Speaker 8: goes to the Chiefs or Frankly anywhere else, he's going

559
00:23:13,948 --> 00:23:15,508
Speaker 8: to make that team better if Frankly.

560
00:23:15,268 --> 00:23:17,268
Speaker 5: Nine feels low for him. He's so talented.

561
00:23:17,548 --> 00:23:20,068
Speaker 8: I think we've seen Ashton Genti go in the top

562
00:23:20,108 --> 00:23:22,388
Speaker 8: ten last year, so you could go up and get

563
00:23:22,428 --> 00:23:25,068
Speaker 8: a Notre Dame star. Today happens to be Notre Dame's

564
00:23:25,108 --> 00:23:28,548
Speaker 8: Pro Day, and with Isaac Rochell at the table Mantiteo.

565
00:23:28,028 --> 00:23:29,188
Speaker 5: Of course, a normal resident.

566
00:23:29,228 --> 00:23:31,748
Speaker 8: Here we have to talk running back Jeremiah Love in

567
00:23:31,788 --> 00:23:33,988
Speaker 8: his participation, of course what he did in college, but

568
00:23:34,028 --> 00:23:36,788
Speaker 8: also at the NFL scouting combine he had a stellar

569
00:23:36,868 --> 00:23:39,548
Speaker 8: performance in early March. We are going to look back

570
00:23:39,548 --> 00:23:42,148
Speaker 8: at what he has done at the running back position,

571
00:23:42,228 --> 00:23:46,308
Speaker 8: of course, because guy, since twenty ten, he ranks in

572
00:23:46,348 --> 00:23:48,588
Speaker 8: some of the top so he's elite in college. He's

573
00:23:48,628 --> 00:23:50,668
Speaker 8: coming out of the backfield for Notre Dame, a position

574
00:23:50,668 --> 00:23:52,748
Speaker 8: in which has a ton of history in the NFL.

575
00:23:52,948 --> 00:23:55,468
Speaker 8: As we look at Daniel Jeremiah's mock draft, he has

576
00:23:55,548 --> 00:23:58,788
Speaker 8: actually the Titans taking Jeremiah Love at fourth overall, which

577
00:23:58,828 --> 00:24:00,388
Speaker 8: makes a little bit more sense for what the Titans

578
00:24:00,388 --> 00:24:02,748
Speaker 8: are trying to accomplish and what Brian Dable likes to

579
00:24:02,748 --> 00:24:06,548
Speaker 8: do offensively. Look at the Titans pick, perhaps is that

580
00:24:06,708 --> 00:24:08,668
Speaker 8: the best fit for Jeremiah Love, Isaac when you look

581
00:24:08,668 --> 00:24:09,548
Speaker 8: at what Tennessee needs.

582
00:24:09,628 --> 00:24:12,108
Speaker 6: Yeah, well, before I start, I love that Notre Dames

583
00:24:12,108 --> 00:24:13,628
Speaker 6: and that excuse me, get it.

584
00:24:13,668 --> 00:24:15,308
Speaker 2: I get emotional.

585
00:24:14,708 --> 00:24:17,948
Speaker 6: I'm gonna be okay, Yeah, I'm gonna be okay.

586
00:24:18,028 --> 00:24:18,468
Speaker 5: It's gone.

587
00:24:18,708 --> 00:24:22,348
Speaker 2: He's gonna get drifted. He will get drid Well.

588
00:24:22,548 --> 00:24:24,428
Speaker 6: Real quick, Manta, if you're watching, I do have your

589
00:24:24,468 --> 00:24:27,708
Speaker 6: shirt on. I'm here, and Notre Dame energy is like

590
00:24:27,868 --> 00:24:28,508
Speaker 6: ten out of ten.

591
00:24:28,588 --> 00:24:29,388
Speaker 2: So here's the deal.

592
00:24:29,908 --> 00:24:32,068
Speaker 6: When I look at Jeremiah Love and I look at

593
00:24:32,108 --> 00:24:34,628
Speaker 6: the Titans having the fourth overall pick, does it Does

594
00:24:34,668 --> 00:24:38,788
Speaker 6: it make sense? Robert Sala being with the Titans is

595
00:24:38,828 --> 00:24:41,788
Speaker 6: gonna be one of the most inspirational people that the

596
00:24:41,828 --> 00:24:44,868
Speaker 6: Titans have had. Like everybody who's around him, we interviewed

597
00:24:44,908 --> 00:24:45,508
Speaker 6: him on the show.

598
00:24:45,708 --> 00:24:47,188
Speaker 2: He's just so inspiring.

599
00:24:47,228 --> 00:24:49,548
Speaker 6: And what matters to me when I talk about that

600
00:24:49,628 --> 00:24:51,948
Speaker 6: and I think about Jeremiah Love, you want your team

601
00:24:52,308 --> 00:24:54,308
Speaker 6: and the players that you bring in to match the

602
00:24:54,348 --> 00:24:57,108
Speaker 6: culture that you're creating. Jeremiah Love when you look at

603
00:24:57,148 --> 00:24:59,348
Speaker 6: him in his college career and you look at who

604
00:24:59,388 --> 00:25:01,908
Speaker 6: he is the guy, the guy has got it figured

605
00:25:01,908 --> 00:25:04,868
Speaker 6: out as far as being being an elite up person,

606
00:25:05,188 --> 00:25:08,028
Speaker 6: being an elite worker. I mean, look at what he's overcome.

607
00:25:08,068 --> 00:25:10,868
Speaker 6: Everybody's like, oh my god, Heisman candidate. Notre Dame has

608
00:25:10,908 --> 00:25:13,028
Speaker 6: been so good. Look Notre Dame two years ago lost

609
00:25:13,028 --> 00:25:15,908
Speaker 6: to NIU early in the season, and what did they

610
00:25:15,908 --> 00:25:18,268
Speaker 6: turn that into? What leadership did they have in their

611
00:25:18,268 --> 00:25:20,628
Speaker 6: locker room. They got them there. Jeremi Love was there.

612
00:25:20,708 --> 00:25:22,628
Speaker 6: He had a great year that year. Actually, he was

613
00:25:22,708 --> 00:25:25,108
Speaker 6: a huge bar that last year. Notre Dame starts one

614
00:25:25,148 --> 00:25:28,068
Speaker 6: to three. Okay, Notre Dame, they can't do it this year.

615
00:25:28,388 --> 00:25:31,468
Speaker 6: What happens, Jeremiah Love goes on to have them I

616
00:25:31,508 --> 00:25:35,148
Speaker 6: mean proper reaction, Jamie. He goes on to have one

617
00:25:35,148 --> 00:25:37,388
Speaker 6: of the best seasons that he's had at Notre Dame,

618
00:25:37,868 --> 00:25:40,228
Speaker 6: and it takes the team to a point where they

619
00:25:40,228 --> 00:25:42,508
Speaker 6: should have been in the playoffs. That's a whole nother conversation.

620
00:25:42,668 --> 00:25:45,228
Speaker 6: So again, when you have Robert Sala, you have a

621
00:25:45,228 --> 00:25:49,588
Speaker 6: guy who's gonna instill a very intense and inspirational culture.

622
00:25:50,508 --> 00:25:52,508
Speaker 6: Get the right guy, like this is a layup for them.

623
00:25:52,508 --> 00:25:55,148
Speaker 6: Get Jeremiah Love. He's gonna come in. He's who you want.

624
00:25:55,388 --> 00:25:57,228
Speaker 6: And Brandon, I know you're going to talk about this.

625
00:25:57,308 --> 00:26:00,748
Speaker 6: You've played with guys that match the culture, that are

626
00:26:00,788 --> 00:26:04,068
Speaker 6: hard workers, probably all Notre Dame guys, I mean.

627
00:26:03,988 --> 00:26:06,268
Speaker 2: You here, Yeah, but you know how it is.

628
00:26:06,348 --> 00:26:08,348
Speaker 4: Yeah, Well, at the end of the day, I think

629
00:26:08,468 --> 00:26:11,588
Speaker 4: you always take the best available. Jeremiah I Love, you

630
00:26:11,588 --> 00:26:13,428
Speaker 4: know what he puts on film, He runs angry, he

631
00:26:13,508 --> 00:26:15,268
Speaker 4: runs hard. He can do everything. Run the ball at

632
00:26:15,268 --> 00:26:17,988
Speaker 4: the backfield, catch the ball at the backfield, protect, And

633
00:26:18,068 --> 00:26:19,788
Speaker 4: I think what you said, you know with Sala, with

634
00:26:19,868 --> 00:26:22,308
Speaker 4: that mindset that he's going to bring to this Titans

635
00:26:22,308 --> 00:26:24,628
Speaker 4: team is going to be an angry mindset. I mean,

636
00:26:24,828 --> 00:26:27,508
Speaker 4: that's how solid defense plays. And then you got Dave Ball,

637
00:26:27,708 --> 00:26:30,108
Speaker 4: you know, calling the plays. But ultimately I think you

638
00:26:30,148 --> 00:26:32,228
Speaker 4: take them because it's the way that you protect your

639
00:26:32,228 --> 00:26:34,628
Speaker 4: young quarterback. Right you got a young quarterback and Ward,

640
00:26:34,908 --> 00:26:37,068
Speaker 4: you get the run game going, and you kind of

641
00:26:37,148 --> 00:26:39,028
Speaker 4: just had that mindset of like, all right, let me

642
00:26:39,028 --> 00:26:40,708
Speaker 4: take a little bit of this load off the game

643
00:26:40,748 --> 00:26:43,588
Speaker 4: from my quarterback, have a great run game, be able

644
00:26:43,628 --> 00:26:45,628
Speaker 4: to set up the play action with their new sign

645
00:26:46,188 --> 00:26:48,588
Speaker 4: receiver with Robinson. So I think at the end of

646
00:26:48,588 --> 00:26:50,588
Speaker 4: the day, it's a no brainer to me. You take

647
00:26:50,908 --> 00:26:53,508
Speaker 4: love at four and you keep it pushing.

648
00:26:54,748 --> 00:26:57,028
Speaker 7: This is what makes the draft special for me because

649
00:26:57,068 --> 00:26:59,788
Speaker 7: I think teams picking in the top ten are always

650
00:26:59,828 --> 00:27:03,428
Speaker 7: stuck between am I drafting for potential? Drafting a guy

651
00:27:03,468 --> 00:27:06,508
Speaker 7: for his potential? Or am I drafting for needs? When

652
00:27:06,548 --> 00:27:08,908
Speaker 7: you're when you're the Titans right now? And I agree

653
00:27:08,948 --> 00:27:11,428
Speaker 7: with the whole gang. Like Masala is gonna be great,

654
00:27:11,468 --> 00:27:14,508
Speaker 7: the cult is gonna be pumping, the bobs are awesome.

655
00:27:14,868 --> 00:27:17,708
Speaker 7: But you selected cam Ward last year and he's supposed

656
00:27:17,748 --> 00:27:20,188
Speaker 7: to be the future of your organization. By the way,

657
00:27:20,428 --> 00:27:22,628
Speaker 7: I don't know if anybody knows this. Cam Ward was

658
00:27:22,668 --> 00:27:26,588
Speaker 7: sacked fifty five times last year. That's what happens to

659
00:27:26,588 --> 00:27:28,508
Speaker 7: be a lot, right. So as much as.

660
00:27:28,428 --> 00:27:30,468
Speaker 3: I love Jeremiah Love and I and I.

661
00:27:30,388 --> 00:27:32,628
Speaker 7: Agree he expands a playbook, I think he's gonna be

662
00:27:32,708 --> 00:27:34,388
Speaker 7: a dynamic player in the NFL.

663
00:27:34,668 --> 00:27:35,988
Speaker 3: You gotta protect cam Ward.

664
00:27:36,028 --> 00:27:38,628
Speaker 7: I watched cam Ward peel himself off the turf time

665
00:27:38,668 --> 00:27:41,308
Speaker 7: after time last year and looked unhinged. It was a

666
00:27:41,308 --> 00:27:43,068
Speaker 7: lot for a young fella with a lot of moxie

667
00:27:43,108 --> 00:27:46,268
Speaker 7: and upside. So if I'm the Titans and you're sitting

668
00:27:46,268 --> 00:27:48,508
Speaker 7: in the four spot, you've got to go get an

669
00:27:48,548 --> 00:27:50,468
Speaker 7: office line. You got to get a big ugly to

670
00:27:50,868 --> 00:27:54,348
Speaker 7: compare with Kevin Zeitler, who they did, who they acquired

671
00:27:54,668 --> 00:27:57,348
Speaker 7: to grow up and grow up, grow up in that system.

672
00:27:57,668 --> 00:28:00,348
Speaker 7: I do think cam Ward is special. He won't be

673
00:28:00,388 --> 00:28:03,868
Speaker 7: special if he can't be protected. So if you're the Titans,

674
00:28:03,868 --> 00:28:06,268
Speaker 7: you gotta need, and the need is office a lot.

675
00:28:06,468 --> 00:28:09,028
Speaker 8: That entire segment was a love letter to running backs

676
00:28:09,028 --> 00:28:10,868
Speaker 8: and a Notre dame football and then really just comes

677
00:28:10,908 --> 00:28:13,948
Speaker 8: over the top with like, actually love letter to an

678
00:28:13,948 --> 00:28:16,188
Speaker 8: offensive lineman because Cam Woord needs help.

679
00:28:16,508 --> 00:28:21,948
Speaker 5: We'll see how that fares for all thirty two. My

680
00:28:22,028 --> 00:28:25,628
Speaker 5: mind is blown. Brandon Cooks. Your Instagram handle is what

681
00:28:26,268 --> 00:28:28,388
Speaker 5: the archer? The archer? And why is it the archer?

682
00:28:28,428 --> 00:28:29,468
Speaker 4: Because I love archery.

683
00:28:29,708 --> 00:28:32,748
Speaker 8: So again, for the most simplest of person people that

684
00:28:32,828 --> 00:28:35,548
Speaker 8: don't understand archerie, it's purely bow and arrow. Try to

685
00:28:35,588 --> 00:28:39,228
Speaker 8: hit a very tiny target from a very far wayway right,

686
00:28:39,268 --> 00:28:41,868
Speaker 8: absolutely okay. So essentially trying to find a wide receiver

687
00:28:41,948 --> 00:28:43,588
Speaker 8: in football and just drop it in the bucket and

688
00:28:43,588 --> 00:28:44,828
Speaker 8: score a touchdown.

689
00:28:44,668 --> 00:28:45,508
Speaker 4: A little harder than you.

690
00:28:47,948 --> 00:28:50,268
Speaker 8: It is a little harder, which is why it's insulting

691
00:28:50,308 --> 00:28:53,548
Speaker 8: if you underappreciate and underrate a wide receiver in the NFL. So,

692
00:28:53,588 --> 00:28:56,308
Speaker 8: Brandon Cooks is here. Rookie season was twenty fourteen with

693
00:28:56,348 --> 00:28:58,948
Speaker 8: the New Orleans Saints. You have played for great teams,

694
00:28:58,988 --> 00:29:01,308
Speaker 8: great quarterbacks. You've won a couple of things here and

695
00:29:01,348 --> 00:29:03,908
Speaker 8: there along the way, so you have a great understanding

696
00:29:03,948 --> 00:29:06,308
Speaker 8: when you put out this list Brandon Cook's top five

697
00:29:06,388 --> 00:29:09,868
Speaker 8: underrated ride receivers five for three two one. Let's start

698
00:29:09,868 --> 00:29:11,988
Speaker 8: with five and a guy who recently retired.

699
00:29:12,028 --> 00:29:12,868
Speaker 5: Actually, who's this.

700
00:29:12,908 --> 00:29:16,228
Speaker 4: Now, t Y Hilton, Y Hilton, us about you, Hy Hilton.

701
00:29:16,268 --> 00:29:18,428
Speaker 4: I think I got a lot of respect for his game. Obviously,

702
00:29:18,468 --> 00:29:20,148
Speaker 4: at the end of the day, as you're going to see,

703
00:29:20,148 --> 00:29:22,148
Speaker 4: my list is going to be made up with a

704
00:29:22,308 --> 00:29:25,028
Speaker 4: couple of shorter guys. So I think we start there, right.

705
00:29:25,148 --> 00:29:28,028
Speaker 4: I don't think he got the recognition he ever deserved

706
00:29:28,148 --> 00:29:30,868
Speaker 4: just because of you know, that stature. But the guy's

707
00:29:30,868 --> 00:29:34,548
Speaker 4: produced obviously, from twenty thirteen, two twenty eighteen, he's at

708
00:29:34,588 --> 00:29:38,268
Speaker 4: one thousand yard receiving you know, season every pretty much

709
00:29:38,268 --> 00:29:39,788
Speaker 4: every year. So I got a lot of respect for

710
00:29:39,868 --> 00:29:42,228
Speaker 4: him because he played bigger than what he was, you know,

711
00:29:42,228 --> 00:29:44,908
Speaker 4: obviously he played with Andrew Luck and some guys. Just

712
00:29:44,948 --> 00:29:47,628
Speaker 4: got a lot of respect for his game. Speed, can

713
00:29:47,708 --> 00:29:49,748
Speaker 4: run every route, could be in the slot and be

714
00:29:49,788 --> 00:29:51,708
Speaker 4: in the outside. As a guy, that got a lot

715
00:29:51,748 --> 00:29:52,708
Speaker 4: of respect for So.

716
00:29:52,588 --> 00:29:55,028
Speaker 5: He came into the league one year before.

717
00:29:54,708 --> 00:29:56,628
Speaker 4: You, one year before all right, so.

718
00:29:56,628 --> 00:29:58,948
Speaker 8: Then you watched him, you watched his body of work

719
00:29:58,948 --> 00:30:01,308
Speaker 8: and now he's done and retired, which we haven't heard

720
00:30:01,348 --> 00:30:03,108
Speaker 8: a decision about you next season yet, which I know

721
00:30:03,148 --> 00:30:05,508
Speaker 8: we're going to tease on GMF. Okay, we haven't heard that.

722
00:30:05,628 --> 00:30:08,988
Speaker 8: Far from far from retirement. Okay, you understand that it's

723
00:30:09,028 --> 00:30:10,188
Speaker 8: free agency people.

724
00:30:10,268 --> 00:30:11,388
Speaker 5: Okay, we love it.

725
00:30:11,428 --> 00:30:13,508
Speaker 8: He's just practicing the television thing, all right.

726
00:30:13,548 --> 00:30:14,788
Speaker 5: At number four, who you.

727
00:30:14,708 --> 00:30:18,308
Speaker 8: Got next, Tuners Coast Marcus Bolton, Okay, let's see him highlight.

728
00:30:18,348 --> 00:30:20,788
Speaker 4: You talk about a guy who produced every single year

729
00:30:20,828 --> 00:30:24,228
Speaker 4: from Hofstra. Don't have a football program anymore, but a

730
00:30:24,268 --> 00:30:26,988
Speaker 4: guy that produced every single year that he played. Never

731
00:30:27,028 --> 00:30:29,468
Speaker 4: got a Pro Bowl, never got an All Pro, but

732
00:30:29,668 --> 00:30:32,788
Speaker 4: you know, super Bowl winner, a reliable guy for Drew Brees,

733
00:30:32,788 --> 00:30:35,708
Speaker 4: one of his top targets throughout his career. Not enough

734
00:30:35,788 --> 00:30:38,828
Speaker 4: love from Marcus Coast and that's the guy that definitely

735
00:30:38,948 --> 00:30:40,388
Speaker 4: was underrated throughout his career.

736
00:30:40,428 --> 00:30:42,228
Speaker 8: I feel like I know Willy clonesign the segment, but

737
00:30:42,348 --> 00:30:44,468
Speaker 8: he must have screamed Hofstrow when you brought off Hofstro.

738
00:30:44,588 --> 00:30:46,188
Speaker 8: So very important to bring that up, all right. I

739
00:30:46,228 --> 00:30:47,788
Speaker 8: love this next one that you have on this list,

740
00:30:47,828 --> 00:30:48,948
Speaker 8: Emmanuel Sanders.

741
00:30:49,068 --> 00:30:52,028
Speaker 4: Emmanuel Sanders, you talk about a guy once again who

742
00:30:52,028 --> 00:30:54,228
Speaker 4: produced every single year. But I think what people don't

743
00:30:54,308 --> 00:30:57,148
Speaker 4: understand he also played with Damarius Thomas, right, So there's

744
00:30:57,188 --> 00:30:59,828
Speaker 4: a lot to go around. But for his opportunities and

745
00:30:59,908 --> 00:31:02,548
Speaker 4: everything that he's done throughout his year from fourteen fifteen

746
00:31:02,668 --> 00:31:05,628
Speaker 4: sixteen to be able to produce over a thousand yards

747
00:31:05,628 --> 00:31:08,908
Speaker 4: every single year, I think it's a guy that you know,

748
00:31:09,188 --> 00:31:11,428
Speaker 4: never got enough credit. You know, when he left Denver,

749
00:31:11,548 --> 00:31:14,588
Speaker 4: you know he's still produced with the Niners, with the Saints,

750
00:31:14,588 --> 00:31:17,388
Speaker 4: with the Bills. Everywhere he went, he produced. So that's

751
00:31:17,428 --> 00:31:20,548
Speaker 4: the guy that I had to give give him his flower.

752
00:31:20,588 --> 00:31:22,428
Speaker 8: Okay, what we love about this list so far is

753
00:31:22,468 --> 00:31:25,548
Speaker 8: that it's guys that you played alongside in the league

754
00:31:25,628 --> 00:31:28,188
Speaker 8: early in your career. But just because they're underrated, it

755
00:31:28,188 --> 00:31:30,148
Speaker 8: doesn't mean they have to be done playing. Because the

756
00:31:30,188 --> 00:31:32,428
Speaker 8: next guy on your list is somebody that was a

757
00:31:32,468 --> 00:31:33,668
Speaker 8: teammate of yours recently.

758
00:31:33,748 --> 00:31:38,388
Speaker 4: Right, n Go Blue Nico Nico Collins. Obviously, you know

759
00:31:38,428 --> 00:31:40,188
Speaker 4: he came in the league's first couple of years, started

760
00:31:40,188 --> 00:31:42,788
Speaker 4: as slow, but these past three season he's exploded on

761
00:31:42,828 --> 00:31:44,588
Speaker 4: the scene. You talk about a guy that can run

762
00:31:44,628 --> 00:31:48,228
Speaker 4: every route, can can do anything. I mean, he's like

763
00:31:48,268 --> 00:31:50,428
Speaker 4: a deer running down a field. Low tall, but his

764
00:31:50,588 --> 00:31:52,788
Speaker 4: try at length and be able to separate from those

765
00:31:52,788 --> 00:31:55,388
Speaker 4: defenders to beat the one for Houston now and to

766
00:31:55,388 --> 00:31:57,308
Speaker 4: be able to produce year in a year out these

767
00:31:57,308 --> 00:31:59,188
Speaker 4: past three years, and I think he's going to continue

768
00:31:59,228 --> 00:32:03,188
Speaker 4: to do it. Definitely underpaid at this point. Another guy

769
00:32:03,548 --> 00:32:05,988
Speaker 4: that's just going to continue to get better with c J.

770
00:32:06,068 --> 00:32:08,308
Speaker 8: Shrup that's going to benefit from the resetting of the

771
00:32:08,348 --> 00:32:10,828
Speaker 8: market by Jackson Smith and Jingba as well. It's it's

772
00:32:11,068 --> 00:32:12,988
Speaker 8: t uy Hilton appreciates the fact that you put the

773
00:32:13,028 --> 00:32:15,228
Speaker 8: tall guy on the list and you also acknowledge that

774
00:32:15,308 --> 00:32:17,468
Speaker 8: he's tall. You're not just saying like, hey, they're underrated

775
00:32:17,508 --> 00:32:20,228
Speaker 8: or undappreciated because they're little wide receivers.

776
00:32:19,828 --> 00:32:20,308
Speaker 5: Like this guy.

777
00:32:20,428 --> 00:32:22,788
Speaker 8: He's got a body, but he's not quite appreciated the

778
00:32:22,828 --> 00:32:24,628
Speaker 8: way he should be in the NFL. Who's the number

779
00:32:24,628 --> 00:32:26,868
Speaker 8: one on your list underrated wide receiver?

780
00:32:26,988 --> 00:32:31,428
Speaker 4: Chris Chris Alave, guy that you know played with last year.

781
00:32:31,668 --> 00:32:34,188
Speaker 4: You know, he came on the scene early on and

782
00:32:34,228 --> 00:32:36,148
Speaker 4: produced out of the high level that was obviously that

783
00:32:36,148 --> 00:32:38,268
Speaker 4: one year. He got hurt and then came back this

784
00:32:38,388 --> 00:32:40,468
Speaker 4: year to be able to play with two different quarterbacks

785
00:32:40,468 --> 00:32:42,988
Speaker 4: and produce the way that he did. Obviously, the quarterback

786
00:32:43,028 --> 00:32:44,828
Speaker 4: situation in the New Orleans at the beginning of the

787
00:32:44,908 --> 00:32:47,428
Speaker 4: year was a little shaky, yeah, you know with s

788
00:32:47,468 --> 00:32:50,428
Speaker 4: mister Ratler, and then you know, Shuck comes in and

789
00:32:50,468 --> 00:32:52,388
Speaker 4: starts to produce. So I would love to see him

790
00:32:52,428 --> 00:32:54,948
Speaker 4: continue to grow, which I think he will. What Tyler

791
00:32:55,028 --> 00:32:57,468
Speaker 4: kind of head in that spirit at the quarterback position

792
00:32:57,548 --> 00:33:00,108
Speaker 4: and be able to you know, continue to grow in

793
00:33:00,108 --> 00:33:02,668
Speaker 4: that aspect. But a guy that can run every route,

794
00:33:02,708 --> 00:33:04,268
Speaker 4: you know, coach by one of the best receiver co

795
00:33:04,588 --> 00:33:06,108
Speaker 4: is in the league. So I think he's only going

796
00:33:06,148 --> 00:33:07,148
Speaker 4: to just continue to get better.

797
00:33:07,228 --> 00:33:08,908
Speaker 8: It's interesting that you bring that up as we look

798
00:33:08,908 --> 00:33:11,228
Speaker 8: at your top five lists of underrated wide receivers, that

799
00:33:11,268 --> 00:33:13,828
Speaker 8: you say that about Chris o'lave, because I bet you

800
00:33:13,868 --> 00:33:17,388
Speaker 8: have an awareness, Brandon as when you're brought in and

801
00:33:17,428 --> 00:33:20,268
Speaker 8: to be a steadying course for the quarterback play and

802
00:33:20,308 --> 00:33:23,868
Speaker 8: that you are relied upon veterans, someone that has leadership

803
00:33:23,908 --> 00:33:26,628
Speaker 8: and presidence within the offense. And so the fact that

804
00:33:26,668 --> 00:33:28,588
Speaker 8: Chris Olave has that the Saints are going to need that.

805
00:33:28,668 --> 00:33:30,548
Speaker 8: All right, here we go two Saints on the list.

806
00:33:30,588 --> 00:33:34,708

807
00:33:34,868 --> 00:33:37,668
Speaker 8: I wearing those? He twelve two, he's thirteen, and then

808
00:33:38,068 --> 00:33:40,308

Speaker 6: most unconventional friendship you ever the two of them together,

819
00:34:05,508 --> 00:34:07,948
Speaker 6: but they were like two pieces in a pod. Really,

820
00:34:07,988 --> 00:34:10,268
Speaker 6: why t Y came back his last year was because

821
00:34:10,348 --> 00:34:11,188
