00:02:10,280 --> 00:02:13,320
Speaker 1: got so much content. How do you liked your time

36
00:02:13,360 --> 00:02:16,920
Speaker 1: here in Orlando? Chris Wessell? You know what? Talking to

37
00:02:17,040 --> 00:02:19,960
Speaker 1: the coaches and the one GM that we spoke to

38
00:02:21,080 --> 00:02:23,720
Speaker 1: it was more fun. They are extremely nice guys. They

39
00:02:23,720 --> 00:02:27,880
Speaker 1: are very football heavy in their interests in life, maybe

40
00:02:27,880 --> 00:02:30,320
Speaker 1: we could have gotten a few more you know, outside

41
00:02:30,320 --> 00:02:33,120
Speaker 1: interest comments and thoughts from them, but they might not

42
00:02:33,240 --> 00:02:36,200
Speaker 1: have them. If you're referring to some of the individuals

43
00:02:36,240 --> 00:02:38,640
Speaker 1: I think you are, it might be football. That's one

44
00:02:38,680 --> 00:02:43,639
Speaker 1: of the takeaways I've had football. Yeah, we have them

45
00:02:43,639 --> 00:02:45,639
Speaker 1: for ten minutes to mark at any point jump into

46
00:02:45,680 --> 00:02:48,200
Speaker 1: the show. I'm just sort of I'm letting it all

47
00:02:48,280 --> 00:02:52,200
Speaker 1: seep in. I am on. It's funny because we're sitting

48
00:02:52,240 --> 00:02:54,280
Speaker 1: in a room and there's six seats and I'm separated

49
00:02:54,320 --> 00:02:56,360
Speaker 1: by two from the other three, and I do feel

50
00:02:56,400 --> 00:02:58,040
Speaker 1: that way, and I but I've had a great week.

51
00:02:58,200 --> 00:03:01,560
Speaker 1: I think we are showing the effects of you know,

52
00:03:01,760 --> 00:03:03,799
Speaker 1: we've we've been doing this for a few days now.

53
00:03:03,840 --> 00:03:07,360
Speaker 1: There's been some early mornings, there's been not super late nights,

54
00:03:07,400 --> 00:03:09,600
Speaker 1: but you know, later than we would be back at home,

55
00:03:09,720 --> 00:03:11,680
Speaker 1: not coldtown work. But also you know a bit of

56
00:03:11,680 --> 00:03:15,040
Speaker 1: a grind grinders, like grinding grinders, a little bit I

57
00:03:15,080 --> 00:03:18,280
Speaker 1: think very tame on the party scene. I'm just saying,

58
00:03:18,400 --> 00:03:20,280
Speaker 1: I think you're seeing some of the fatigue showing up.

59
00:03:20,520 --> 00:03:22,640
Speaker 1: We learned about each of these coaches. I mean, I

60
00:03:22,680 --> 00:03:24,919
Speaker 1: love these coaches from a distance, but I don't really

61
00:03:24,919 --> 00:03:26,480
Speaker 1: know any of them, And I think it's cool that

62
00:03:26,520 --> 00:03:31,679
Speaker 1: we've spent probably about ninety minutes plus with these guys. Yeah,

63
00:03:31,720 --> 00:03:35,760
Speaker 1: I I now feel like I know everything about all

64
00:03:35,800 --> 00:03:39,120
Speaker 1: these men, and like I can make total judgments about

65
00:03:39,160 --> 00:03:41,960
Speaker 1: their character. And we're much closer to that point. The

66
00:03:42,000 --> 00:03:44,560
Speaker 1: only it takes about ten minutes. We're much closer to

67
00:03:44,560 --> 00:03:47,240
Speaker 1: be able to full judgment and being correct. And entered

68
00:03:47,280 --> 00:03:49,840
Speaker 1: Central Florida dolphin. Sorry you're not making the playoffs. I

69
00:03:50,000 --> 00:03:55,960
Speaker 1: entered Central Florida playing football checkers. I exit a chess master. Wow.

82
00:04:51,080 --> 00:04:54,280
Speaker 1: into it first though, so stupid. Let's get into the

83
00:04:54,279 --> 00:04:57,600
Speaker 1: news though. And uh and to do that, we will

84
00:04:58,040 --> 00:05:06,680
Speaker 1: welcome in our first guest. Let's do it. Here he

85
00:05:06,720 --> 00:05:09,200
Speaker 1: comes now. He was at the combine and did a

86
00:05:09,279 --> 00:05:12,839
Speaker 1: nice job, so he said, grab him in the hallway,

87
00:05:14,000 --> 00:05:18,320
Speaker 1: bring him back. He is the heartbeat of the news

88
00:05:18,360 --> 00:05:24,120
Speaker 1: operation for NFL Media. He's in that select group, that

89
00:05:24,320 --> 00:05:32,320
Speaker 1: Forever Fraternity, the Insider Ladies and gentlemen, Ian Rappaport, the

90
00:05:32,400 --> 00:05:35,400
Speaker 1: rap sheet. It's hard to think it seriously with this

91
00:05:35,480 --> 00:05:37,279
Speaker 1: music going on. I mean, I know, like that was

92
00:05:37,279 --> 00:05:39,200
Speaker 1: a good intro and it was like drama and stuff,

93
00:05:39,240 --> 00:05:42,760
Speaker 1: but it's really I feel like it's just like the

94
00:05:42,920 --> 00:05:45,320
Speaker 1: getting of like a love scene or like a redemption

95
00:05:45,360 --> 00:05:47,520
Speaker 1: scene in the eighties movie You Don't Right like it did.

96
00:05:47,520 --> 00:05:50,719
Speaker 1: It's like a Skinnamax feature. It really sounds like Yanny

97
00:05:51,320 --> 00:05:53,640
Speaker 1: like through the look. Why do you imagine it does

98
00:05:53,680 --> 00:05:56,040
Speaker 1: sound like the Uber love scene, which just wanted to

99
00:05:57,960 --> 00:05:59,880
Speaker 1: And just to make it clear to the shadow, we

100
00:06:00,040 --> 00:06:02,720
Speaker 1: league figures it is not from mcgoverer. It is from

101
00:06:03,200 --> 00:06:08,400
Speaker 1: Stock Cleared music footage. I'm looking directly out of cheving

102
00:06:08,400 --> 00:06:11,159
Speaker 1: the figures into the eyes of all. Right, rap sheet,

103
00:06:12,279 --> 00:06:15,520
Speaker 1: you're the man with the news and and you started

104
00:06:15,560 --> 00:06:18,279
Speaker 1: Monday morning with the bang here at the owners meetings.

105
00:06:18,279 --> 00:06:20,360
Speaker 1: You're on Good Morning Football, and you tweeted it out

106
00:06:21,360 --> 00:06:25,360
Speaker 1: Odell Beckham and the Giants. It's it's turning into what

107
00:06:25,400 --> 00:06:29,479
Speaker 1: I would classify as a tense standoff. Rap Sheet reported

108
00:06:29,520 --> 00:06:34,359
Speaker 1: Monday on g m F that Beckham will not play

109
00:06:34,440 --> 00:06:37,680
Speaker 1: without a new long term deal. Uh. Ian, I'm gonna

110
00:06:37,760 --> 00:06:41,400
Speaker 1: quote you from that program. He's not gonna set foot

111
00:06:41,440 --> 00:06:44,159
Speaker 1: on the field without a new contract agreed to, Whether

112
00:06:44,400 --> 00:06:54,359
Speaker 1: the Giants or whether anyone else. Interesting, your thoughts expand, please, Yeah,

113
00:06:54,560 --> 00:06:58,160
Speaker 1: it's interesting. It really shouldn't be surprising, right, Like we've

114
00:06:58,200 --> 00:07:01,480
Speaker 1: known that. It feels like it's a big deal. And

115
00:07:01,560 --> 00:07:03,680
Speaker 1: when I heard it yesterday I sort of took it

116
00:07:03,760 --> 00:07:06,240
Speaker 1: like a big deal. It should be obvious, like, of

117
00:07:06,279 --> 00:07:07,920
Speaker 1: course he's gonna get one a new deal. Of course

118
00:07:07,920 --> 00:07:11,400
Speaker 1: he's gonna he's gonna you need security before he hits

119
00:07:11,400 --> 00:07:13,760
Speaker 1: the field. You know, last year stayed away during most

120
00:07:13,800 --> 00:07:16,240
Speaker 1: of O t s and it was kind of a thing,

121
00:07:16,280 --> 00:07:18,160
Speaker 1: you know, was it contract, was it not like, of

122
00:07:18,200 --> 00:07:21,640
Speaker 1: course it was, um, but this does seem a little different.

123
00:07:21,640 --> 00:07:24,080
Speaker 1: And I think what like my read on this is

124
00:07:24,320 --> 00:07:27,480
Speaker 1: this is O'Dell's leverage. This is his his only way

125
00:07:27,520 --> 00:07:29,760
Speaker 1: to take control of the situation and try to like

126
00:07:30,160 --> 00:07:33,640
Speaker 1: have some say like and if like what the giants

127
00:07:33,640 --> 00:07:37,120
Speaker 1: did seems pretty clear. Like they mentioned the words O'Dell

128
00:07:37,440 --> 00:07:41,040
Speaker 1: and trade in the same sentence their owner in front

129
00:07:41,040 --> 00:07:44,520
Speaker 1: of cameras, not like, didn't pull anyone aside and whisper it.

130
00:07:44,520 --> 00:07:47,480
Speaker 1: It was like on camera with the lights on, on

131
00:07:47,520 --> 00:07:51,240
Speaker 1: the record, and whenever you use those words together, you're

132
00:07:51,240 --> 00:07:54,080
Speaker 1: gonna get trade speculation. And he I'm sure he knew

133
00:07:54,120 --> 00:07:57,040
Speaker 1: what it was gonna be. And so you know that

134
00:07:57,120 --> 00:07:59,440
Speaker 1: to me, signals the Giants are at the very least

135
00:07:59,480 --> 00:08:03,280
Speaker 1: open for and it's open to listen. And you know

136
00:08:03,360 --> 00:08:07,120
Speaker 1: O'Dell's sort of way to handle that is to say, well,

137
00:08:07,120 --> 00:08:08,760
Speaker 1: if I'm gonna get trade, I'm gonna make sure I'm

138
00:08:08,800 --> 00:08:10,560
Speaker 1: taken care of and I go to someplace I want.

139
00:08:10,960 --> 00:08:13,280
Speaker 1: And so that's his leverage, and that's kind of where

140
00:08:13,320 --> 00:08:18,360
Speaker 1: we are. You think you think they're trying to scare

141
00:08:18,400 --> 00:08:20,680
Speaker 1: him a little bit. I mean, like putting that outblicly.

142
00:08:22,840 --> 00:08:26,080
Speaker 1: Putting that out publicly has to be a message at

143
00:08:26,280 --> 00:08:30,960
Speaker 1: on some level that hey, you're yeah, yes uh. And

144
00:08:31,000 --> 00:08:33,880
Speaker 1: I asked the Giants person that just basically like was

145
00:08:33,920 --> 00:08:37,040
Speaker 1: this sending a message? And the response wasn't no, it

146
00:08:37,200 --> 00:08:41,040
Speaker 1: was he knows where we come from anyway, he if

147
00:08:41,080 --> 00:08:43,120
Speaker 1: he doesn't get the message by now, then like what

148
00:08:43,160 --> 00:08:46,560
Speaker 1: are we doing? Right? And so I think it's beyond

149
00:08:46,679 --> 00:08:50,520
Speaker 1: like Coleman talking to It's beyond send a message to

150
00:08:50,600 --> 00:08:53,880
Speaker 1: the media. At some point it's like is this gonna

151
00:08:53,880 --> 00:08:56,360
Speaker 1: work or not? And I think that's kind of where

152
00:08:56,360 --> 00:08:58,120
Speaker 1: they are, is like, all right, are we gonna go forward?

153
00:08:58,320 --> 00:09:00,800
Speaker 1: Or say we had a great player and it didn't

154
00:09:00,800 --> 00:09:02,079
Speaker 1: work out and he's ready to move on, and so

155
00:09:02,200 --> 00:09:04,120
Speaker 1: were we. And John mar also had a comment where

156
00:09:04,120 --> 00:09:07,920
Speaker 1: he basically said I'm tired of talking about Odell's behavior,

157
00:09:07,960 --> 00:09:10,120
Speaker 1: and it was you know, he came hearing, pulled no punches,

158
00:09:10,320 --> 00:09:12,640
Speaker 1: good getting a contract done. He's gonna want twenty million

159
00:09:12,679 --> 00:09:14,600
Speaker 1: be the highest paid receiver in league, which makes sense

160
00:09:14,880 --> 00:09:16,720
Speaker 1: considering what he's produced. But he's coming off of an

161
00:09:16,720 --> 00:09:18,520
Speaker 1: injury and has all this stuff that the Giants aren't

162
00:09:18,559 --> 00:09:20,199
Speaker 1: that happy for, like what are the odds they even

163
00:09:20,320 --> 00:09:22,520
Speaker 1: could possibly coming into an agreew It reminds me a

164
00:09:22,559 --> 00:09:25,960
Speaker 1: lot of the last time there was a super talented

165
00:09:26,080 --> 00:09:30,319
Speaker 1: mercurial wide receiver UH that was entering the final year

166
00:09:30,320 --> 00:09:31,600
Speaker 1: of his deal. You go back to the year two

167
00:09:31,640 --> 00:09:34,080
Speaker 1: thousand and Jets and Keishan Johnson had a standoff that

168
00:09:34,120 --> 00:09:36,600
Speaker 1: was very similar. They almost get a deal done, it

169
00:09:36,640 --> 00:09:40,880
Speaker 1: falls apart, and then the Jets trade to trade Keishan

170
00:09:41,040 --> 00:09:44,199
Speaker 1: to the Bucks for two first round picks, which I

171
00:09:44,240 --> 00:09:47,320
Speaker 1: don't think would happened today. But Odell also is a

172
00:09:47,320 --> 00:09:49,959
Speaker 1: way better player than Keishan was. But Keshan was viewed

173
00:09:49,960 --> 00:09:51,520
Speaker 1: as one of the top wide receivers in the league

174
00:09:51,559 --> 00:09:55,160
Speaker 1: at that time. I'm wondering, I know this is you know,

175
00:09:55,240 --> 00:09:57,280
Speaker 1: you get excited. It's like, oh, Odell could be traded,

176
00:09:57,320 --> 00:09:59,440
Speaker 1: But it doesn't seem crazy to me. If they could

177
00:09:59,480 --> 00:10:02,520
Speaker 1: get back something big, but we don't think it could

178
00:10:02,520 --> 00:10:07,200
Speaker 1: be a bounty like that, so what what? And but

179
00:10:07,240 --> 00:10:08,880
Speaker 1: then he'd have to want to go there, and he'd

180
00:10:08,920 --> 00:10:15,319
Speaker 1: have to want to say, like there, that's true, and right,

181
00:10:15,400 --> 00:10:17,160
Speaker 1: there's not a long term quarterback there, and you can

182
00:10:17,160 --> 00:10:19,040
Speaker 1: say they're gonna d I mean they're going to draft

183
00:10:19,080 --> 00:10:22,600
Speaker 1: a quarterback one or four probably, Um, but you don't

184
00:10:22,600 --> 00:10:26,120
Speaker 1: know who that is. And uh, you know, O'Dell, I

185
00:10:26,160 --> 00:10:28,840
Speaker 1: think his reputation is worse than he actually is. Like

186
00:10:28,920 --> 00:10:31,480
Speaker 1: he doesn't seem like a guy who winds all the

187
00:10:31,520 --> 00:10:34,160
Speaker 1: time about getting the football, Like I think that's at

188
00:10:34,240 --> 00:10:36,720
Speaker 1: this point everything he does is magnified so much that

189
00:10:36,760 --> 00:10:39,840
Speaker 1: I don't think he's really liked this. However, putting him

190
00:10:39,840 --> 00:10:42,560
Speaker 1: on the field with a rookie quarterback who's never played,

191
00:10:42,640 --> 00:10:46,280
Speaker 1: like that's you know, that's a gamble for him. Um,

192
00:10:46,320 --> 00:10:48,880
Speaker 1: so you know, would he even would he even do that?

193
00:10:48,960 --> 00:10:51,000
Speaker 1: And then let's like, let's say you're the Giants. You're

194
00:10:51,000 --> 00:10:53,600
Speaker 1: not gonna get two ones. But what would you be

195
00:10:53,640 --> 00:10:55,600
Speaker 1: willing to take that would make it worth it to

196
00:10:55,679 --> 00:10:58,880
Speaker 1: trade away a like generational talent, a receiver, Like what

197
00:10:58,920 --> 00:11:01,679
Speaker 1: would actually make you say, aren't we we're okay doing this?

198
00:11:02,440 --> 00:11:04,560
Speaker 1: A top five pick because Beckham as the best receive

199
00:11:04,720 --> 00:11:08,959
Speaker 1: depends on them, depends on your frustration level with the

200
00:11:09,000 --> 00:11:11,320
Speaker 1: guy who's the most talented player every time he steps

201
00:11:11,320 --> 00:11:14,920
Speaker 1: on the field. And you know, judging from beat writers

202
00:11:14,920 --> 00:11:18,000
Speaker 1: of the past four years, what the Giants have said

203
00:11:18,040 --> 00:11:20,560
Speaker 1: what the coaches have said. This guy has to cause

204
00:11:20,679 --> 00:11:24,440
Speaker 1: head ear splitting headaches almost every week. It seems like

205
00:11:25,160 --> 00:11:28,920
Speaker 1: it's been like kind of fascinating because he's not definitely

206
00:11:28,960 --> 00:11:33,560
Speaker 1: not a bad guy. Um, he's different. He's just different, right,

207
00:11:33,880 --> 00:11:36,600
Speaker 1: Like it's never been like you know, I mean we

208
00:11:37,360 --> 00:11:41,120
Speaker 1: he had the dog celebration thing, which was I think

209
00:11:41,200 --> 00:11:44,679
Speaker 1: generally annoying but not necessarily bad or mean spirited. Like

210
00:11:45,080 --> 00:11:46,960
Speaker 1: you sort of had to get be in on the joke,

211
00:11:47,080 --> 00:11:50,319
Speaker 1: and I don't think everybody was in on like the

212
00:11:50,800 --> 00:11:53,360
Speaker 1: kicking that joke. That was a big hit that became

213
00:11:53,440 --> 00:11:57,160
Speaker 1: highly tedious very fast. But at least he embraced his

214
00:11:57,240 --> 00:12:01,200
Speaker 1: like the ridiculousness question, is competitive this not at all?

215
00:12:01,559 --> 00:12:04,000
Speaker 1: He never it's never like to get over it. You

216
00:12:04,040 --> 00:12:06,560
Speaker 1: have a Hall of Fame player that you just drafted,

217
00:12:07,120 --> 00:12:08,920
Speaker 1: Make it work. I used to say that too, But

218
00:12:09,280 --> 00:12:12,120
Speaker 1: it is possible that these guys are so annoying to

219
00:12:12,240 --> 00:12:14,440
Speaker 1: everyone that they come into contact with it you just

220
00:12:14,480 --> 00:12:16,920
Speaker 1: can't take it anymore. Well, let's track this. We're gonna

221
00:12:16,920 --> 00:12:19,160
Speaker 1: continue to attract the Beckham because it is kind of

222
00:12:19,160 --> 00:12:22,280
Speaker 1: a fascinating subplot around the Giants, And speaking of the Giants,

223
00:12:22,320 --> 00:12:24,800
Speaker 1: they made a big trade one of the top players

224
00:12:24,800 --> 00:12:27,880
Speaker 1: on their defense in recent years, Jason Pierre Paul JPP,

225
00:12:29,040 --> 00:12:32,720
Speaker 1: was traded to the Tampa Bay Buccaneers UH for a

226
00:12:32,840 --> 00:12:37,760
Speaker 1: third round pick number sixty nine overall, nice was in

227
00:12:37,840 --> 00:12:41,760
Speaker 1: the fourth round pick number one oh eight UH, a

228
00:12:41,800 --> 00:12:44,760
Speaker 1: fourth round pick goes back to Tampa as well. And

229
00:12:44,880 --> 00:12:47,200
Speaker 1: I'll start with you on this one too. Was this

230
00:12:47,320 --> 00:12:49,599
Speaker 1: something that was surprising around the league or was it

231
00:12:49,760 --> 00:12:51,960
Speaker 1: knowing that JPP might be on the block. It was

232
00:12:52,040 --> 00:12:54,200
Speaker 1: known that the Bucks were looking for a pass rushert Like,

233
00:12:54,480 --> 00:12:57,079
Speaker 1: at one point I thought they were I can't remember

234
00:12:57,080 --> 00:12:59,440
Speaker 1: what day was the combine, but like I thought they

235
00:12:59,440 --> 00:13:01,640
Speaker 1: were going to trade AID for Robert Quinn and then

236
00:13:01,679 --> 00:13:03,840
Speaker 1: it ended up being the Dolphins the next day. But

237
00:13:03,920 --> 00:13:07,040
Speaker 1: I kept hearing that a Bucks deal was going to happen,

238
00:13:07,160 --> 00:13:09,000
Speaker 1: and so I thought they were close. And so then

239
00:13:09,360 --> 00:13:11,880
Speaker 1: you know, they end up signing Vinny Curry. But there's

240
00:13:11,880 --> 00:13:15,560
Speaker 1: still kind of snooper sniffing around on a pass rusher.

241
00:13:15,600 --> 00:13:19,240
Speaker 1: And and this is one where like it it's a

242
00:13:19,280 --> 00:13:21,720
Speaker 1: big deal and when it happens, like whoa, But it

243
00:13:21,800 --> 00:13:25,080
Speaker 1: actually makes a lot of sense. Not great scheme fit,

244
00:13:25,960 --> 00:13:28,840
Speaker 1: you know, it makes a lot of money. He's not

245
00:13:29,320 --> 00:13:32,640
Speaker 1: maybe quite what he was, although he's still really good.

246
00:13:32,880 --> 00:13:34,640
Speaker 1: But I could see the value not make it sense.

247
00:13:35,080 --> 00:13:37,640
Speaker 1: It's just from the giant standpoint, like you know, a

248
00:13:37,679 --> 00:13:39,640
Speaker 1: third round pick is good, like that's that's like a

249
00:13:39,720 --> 00:13:42,680
Speaker 1: legitimate getting something back. But you're paying all the money

250
00:13:42,760 --> 00:13:46,960
Speaker 1: this year also um dead money on New York set

251
00:13:47,800 --> 00:13:49,920
Speaker 1: clears two and a half million this season on the

252
00:13:50,160 --> 00:13:54,160
Speaker 1: saving cash. And if you're the Bucks like that. This

253
00:13:54,200 --> 00:13:56,600
Speaker 1: is a move that an organization makes when the guy

254
00:13:56,679 --> 00:14:00,200
Speaker 1: they're worried about getting fired, I think, I mean, which

255
00:14:00,240 --> 00:14:03,280
Speaker 1: makes sense that Jason light has been there, their cutter,

256
00:14:03,800 --> 00:14:07,760
Speaker 1: you know, barely survived last year, and that you signed

257
00:14:07,800 --> 00:14:09,800
Speaker 1: Vinny Curry. They have to win this year and they

258
00:14:09,800 --> 00:14:11,040
Speaker 1: sort of know it. And I don't think I think

259
00:14:11,040 --> 00:14:12,680
Speaker 1: it's a good move for them. Actually, they get a

260
00:14:13,160 --> 00:14:15,040
Speaker 1: that's been one of the worst positions in football for

261
00:14:15,080 --> 00:14:17,199
Speaker 1: so long, and they get two pretty good starters. I

262
00:14:17,200 --> 00:14:19,840
Speaker 1: don't understand how it's how it's been so bad, Like

263
00:14:19,880 --> 00:14:21,880
Speaker 1: they have talent last year that one of the best

264
00:14:21,880 --> 00:14:24,880
Speaker 1: defensive line coaches in the NFL who they ended up

265
00:14:24,920 --> 00:14:28,200
Speaker 1: firing after a year, you know, and it's just I mean,

266
00:14:28,200 --> 00:14:30,680
Speaker 1: it's it's been surprising how they've struggled to make that

267
00:14:30,720 --> 00:14:33,400
Speaker 1: work on the whole defense struggled in general. It feels

268
00:14:33,480 --> 00:14:36,160
Speaker 1: like someone on their defensive line they just take turns

269
00:14:36,160 --> 00:14:39,800
Speaker 1: getting injured every week. They're never healthy and their linebackers

270
00:14:39,880 --> 00:14:42,000
Speaker 1: last year to Kwan, Alexander was out for a while

271
00:14:42,080 --> 00:14:44,560
Speaker 1: and backwidth was out. But they've got they've got my

272
00:14:44,600 --> 00:14:47,320
Speaker 1: attention now with this iss intriguing. I mean, they spent

273
00:14:47,440 --> 00:14:50,800
Speaker 1: last offseason focusing on offense, adding place, you know, players

274
00:14:50,840 --> 00:14:52,200
Speaker 1: all on that side of the ball, and now they're

275
00:14:52,200 --> 00:14:54,240
Speaker 1: doing on defense. But you're right, Greg, if it doesn't work,

276
00:14:54,800 --> 00:14:56,360
Speaker 1: I mean, it's surprising to a lot of people that

277
00:14:56,400 --> 00:14:58,960
Speaker 1: the coaches there this year. Whatever a team sucks being

278
00:14:59,000 --> 00:15:00,560
Speaker 1: on hard knocks, it's hard for me to get in

279
00:15:00,600 --> 00:15:02,640
Speaker 1: on them. I didn't think they were good on hard knocks. No,

280
00:15:02,720 --> 00:15:04,560
Speaker 1: I thought they were great, and I thought they were promising.

281
00:15:05,560 --> 00:15:07,640
Speaker 1: It sucks after being I thought you meant actually because

282
00:15:07,640 --> 00:15:09,440
Speaker 1: I thought that was a pretty good high. Yeah, I

283
00:15:09,440 --> 00:15:11,600
Speaker 1: want to After that season finale, I was like, oh,

284
00:15:11,720 --> 00:15:14,840
Speaker 1: nineteen and no, no problem. But it didn't work out

285
00:15:14,840 --> 00:15:16,920
Speaker 1: that way, and they, in fact quite the opposite. They

286
00:15:16,920 --> 00:15:20,720
Speaker 1: were a dreadful team. Um, but we'll see what happens

287
00:15:20,840 --> 00:15:24,280
Speaker 1: with the last two games. James was healthy, they had

288
00:15:24,320 --> 00:15:26,560
Speaker 1: no players, and they looked pretty good. It's funny how

289
00:15:26,560 --> 00:15:28,920
Speaker 1: those games those weeks seventeen or the last couple of

290
00:15:28,920 --> 00:15:31,200
Speaker 1: weeks ends up making such a difference. I think it helped.

291
00:15:31,360 --> 00:15:33,800
Speaker 1: As we heard from Adam Gaze, I think it helped,

292
00:15:34,240 --> 00:15:37,120
Speaker 1: not from Adam Gaze, from Andy Reid, I think it helped.

293
00:15:37,200 --> 00:15:39,800
Speaker 1: The Patrick Mahomes and Alex Smith trade happened the way

294
00:15:39,840 --> 00:15:41,880
Speaker 1: that my Homes played Week seventeen, and I think that

295
00:15:41,920 --> 00:15:43,800
Speaker 1: Bucks win because I've heard this from a few different

296
00:15:44,360 --> 00:15:47,520
Speaker 1: uh people talking in Tampa. The fact that they beat

297
00:15:47,640 --> 00:15:49,600
Speaker 1: New Orleans in a game that New Orleans had to win,

298
00:15:49,640 --> 00:15:51,960
Speaker 1: in a really exciting game, Like, I think it changed

299
00:15:52,160 --> 00:15:56,840
Speaker 1: this season for the book. I wonder to focus the

300
00:15:56,960 --> 00:16:02,800
Speaker 1: probably well, look at Tony Commas in here yesterday and

301
00:16:02,800 --> 00:16:06,640
Speaker 1: the Jaguars. You know in two thousand sixteen that December

302
00:16:06,680 --> 00:16:09,760
Speaker 1: their defense was phenomenal, so you could see signs. Then again,

303
00:16:09,800 --> 00:16:12,440
Speaker 1: I remember when JaMarcus Russell closed out the year with

304
00:16:12,560 --> 00:16:15,160
Speaker 1: the fantastic stretch in December and he was terrible the

305
00:16:15,200 --> 00:16:21,080
Speaker 1: next year. Were well here can just wrap it out

306
00:16:21,120 --> 00:16:22,800
Speaker 1: like we're done. Time. It was good, all good points.

307
00:16:22,840 --> 00:16:24,240
Speaker 1: I just want to point out Tony Conn will be

308
00:16:24,240 --> 00:16:26,640
Speaker 1: on the show a little later today. Uh. Next up

309
00:16:26,640 --> 00:16:29,680
Speaker 1: in the news and Dominicans. Sue still without a job

310
00:16:30,640 --> 00:16:34,200
Speaker 1: as of taping here on a Monday morning, but it's

311
00:16:34,240 --> 00:16:38,080
Speaker 1: looking closer to a gig with the Rams. The New

312
00:16:38,120 --> 00:16:41,920
Speaker 1: York Jets popped up heading into the weekend, UH with

313
00:16:41,920 --> 00:16:45,120
Speaker 1: with the report that they had offered the most money,

314
00:16:45,160 --> 00:16:49,280
Speaker 1: but then it was announced by the Jets or Christopher Johnson,

315
00:16:49,600 --> 00:16:52,720
Speaker 1: the team CEO talked to Mike mccagnan, and they decided

316
00:16:52,760 --> 00:16:55,120
Speaker 1: to rescind the deal. So now West it looks like

317
00:16:55,280 --> 00:16:58,440
Speaker 1: Sue is back in it. And uh Ian on your

318
00:16:59,280 --> 00:17:03,000
Speaker 1: uh you reported on Twitter that they are indeed the

319
00:17:03,040 --> 00:17:05,800
Speaker 1: front runner. He hasn't ruled the Titans or Saints out,

320
00:17:06,560 --> 00:17:10,320
Speaker 1: but those close to them are still open minded. What's

321
00:17:10,359 --> 00:17:14,600
Speaker 1: that all about? Yeah? I mean I think, bro, there

322
00:17:14,600 --> 00:17:21,439
Speaker 1: you go. Uh, Sue is a different dude. Uh, And

323
00:17:21,480 --> 00:17:23,520
Speaker 1: so I think people are very careful to be like,

324
00:17:24,480 --> 00:17:27,119
Speaker 1: he hasn't made up his mind, Like, yeah, he's leaning

325
00:17:27,119 --> 00:17:29,120
Speaker 1: this way, and it looks like it could happen. But

326
00:17:29,720 --> 00:17:32,199
Speaker 1: you know something could strike. It's just he's just different

327
00:17:32,200 --> 00:17:33,760
Speaker 1: and the fact that he's taken so long to make

328
00:17:33,880 --> 00:17:37,399
Speaker 1: his decision, I think he's probably driving everyone a little crazy. Um.

329
00:17:37,440 --> 00:17:39,159
Speaker 1: But it does feel like it's going to be the Rams.

330
00:17:39,160 --> 00:17:41,160
Speaker 1: I mean, I think their offer was good enough. Not

331
00:17:41,440 --> 00:17:44,600
Speaker 1: the highest from what I understand, um, but good enough.

332
00:17:44,680 --> 00:17:47,240
Speaker 1: And you know, it's gonna be a lot of money regardless.

333
00:17:47,280 --> 00:17:49,240
Speaker 1: I mean, it really is gonna be a lot of money. Um.

334
00:17:49,920 --> 00:17:53,640
Speaker 1: And I think for them, you know, that's a really

335
00:17:53,720 --> 00:17:57,480
Speaker 1: good defensive line anyway, and it's gonna be really, really good.

336
00:17:57,480 --> 00:17:59,120
Speaker 1: I think it's gonna be like a long term thing

337
00:17:59,240 --> 00:18:01,119
Speaker 1: or it's just a one year, you know, more like

338
00:18:01,160 --> 00:18:05,520
Speaker 1: a one year. And my guess is it's probably like

339
00:18:05,560 --> 00:18:08,600
Speaker 1: a three year where like guaranteed money into the second

340
00:18:08,680 --> 00:18:10,960
Speaker 1: year and he's thirty one. I can't believe we're spending

341
00:18:10,960 --> 00:18:12,800
Speaker 1: this much time in a thirty one year old defensive

342
00:18:12,800 --> 00:18:16,160
Speaker 1: tackle with no sacks. But um, he did play well

343
00:18:16,240 --> 00:18:20,679
Speaker 1: last year, So I don't know. It's I did not

344
00:18:20,880 --> 00:18:25,679
Speaker 1: foresee this sue, prolonged saga like this, But Mike mccagnan

345
00:18:25,840 --> 00:18:31,080
Speaker 1: and Chris Johnson c J tu K were they just

346
00:18:31,119 --> 00:18:33,240
Speaker 1: simply not on the same page here. It sounds like

347
00:18:33,240 --> 00:18:35,080
Speaker 1: he swooped in and said no, no, no, you're not

348
00:18:35,119 --> 00:18:38,160
Speaker 1: offering No. I think it was more like they weren't

349
00:18:38,160 --> 00:18:40,159
Speaker 1: going to get him, you know, I think it was

350
00:18:40,720 --> 00:18:43,280
Speaker 1: and I sort of heard this like it the Jets

351
00:18:43,359 --> 00:18:46,000
Speaker 1: thing came out. Sue actually said it a couple of

352
00:18:46,080 --> 00:18:48,879
Speaker 1: days ago, but I think it was by that point

353
00:18:48,920 --> 00:18:52,480
Speaker 1: basically dead anyway, like they you know, did they make

354
00:18:52,520 --> 00:18:55,360
Speaker 1: an official offer, Like, I don't know if it really

355
00:18:55,359 --> 00:18:57,640
Speaker 1: ever got to that point, but they were definitely interested.

356
00:18:57,680 --> 00:19:00,800
Speaker 1: Bowls definitely talked to him. It was just like he's

357
00:19:00,800 --> 00:19:03,239
Speaker 1: not going to choose him. This is yeah, it was.

358
00:19:03,600 --> 00:19:05,199
Speaker 1: I was Camp was like, how can we use this

359
00:19:05,240 --> 00:19:10,359
Speaker 1: to get more money from the rams possible? Um? Another

360
00:19:10,440 --> 00:19:13,880
Speaker 1: quick question, do you have female groupies being as powerful

361
00:19:13,920 --> 00:19:19,680
Speaker 1: as you are? Um? I would say my my wheelhouse

362
00:19:20,119 --> 00:19:23,280
Speaker 1: of groupies may make the final edit of the show.

363
00:19:23,359 --> 00:19:29,080
Speaker 1: But interesting, I would say, um, definitely older women. Um,

364
00:19:29,119 --> 00:19:32,680
Speaker 1: you know yeah, grandmother and mother. I'm big in here.

365
00:19:32,760 --> 00:19:36,640
Speaker 1: Here's short of my here's short of my people. It's

366
00:19:36,680 --> 00:19:41,120
Speaker 1: the older women big in that demographic. Um. I would

367
00:19:41,160 --> 00:19:45,760
Speaker 1: say t s a agents really big there. Um, sort

368
00:19:45,800 --> 00:19:48,639
Speaker 1: of people who deal with rental cars. I'm huge in

369
00:19:48,680 --> 00:19:52,159
Speaker 1: that community. Um, these are short of less, these are

370
00:19:52,160 --> 00:19:54,679
Speaker 1: short of like my people. Um there you are you

371
00:19:54,680 --> 00:19:56,240
Speaker 1: pleased with the answer, Mar Yeah, I mean it's just

372
00:19:56,560 --> 00:20:01,400
Speaker 1: very strange man here him both pretty strange guys. Uh.

373
00:20:01,560 --> 00:20:03,240
Speaker 1: Less need by the way, coming up a little later

374
00:20:03,359 --> 00:20:06,600
Speaker 1: on the show, so we'll ask him about the Sioux situation. Alright,

375
00:20:06,640 --> 00:20:08,679
Speaker 1: a little free agent round up. We mentioned the Jets

376
00:20:08,720 --> 00:20:13,679
Speaker 1: Terrell Prior agrees to a deal with Gang Green West.

377
00:20:14,200 --> 00:20:16,040
Speaker 1: I know you like Prior as a player, and you

378
00:20:16,359 --> 00:20:18,760
Speaker 1: think he just needs a fresh start after a last

379
00:20:18,760 --> 00:20:21,760
Speaker 1: season in Washington, and I just needs somebody competent throwing

380
00:20:21,760 --> 00:20:25,199
Speaker 1: the ball there. Yeah, this wasn't my favorite match for

381
00:20:25,320 --> 00:20:28,080
Speaker 1: player and team, But the Jets, to me, got a

382
00:20:28,119 --> 00:20:32,080
Speaker 1: talented receiver. Uh. And whoever is their next quarterback, I

383
00:20:32,080 --> 00:20:35,040
Speaker 1: guess Josh McCown will be throwing to him. That's a

384
00:20:35,119 --> 00:20:37,480
Speaker 1: nice receiver, corp. If Robby Anderson stays out of trouble

385
00:20:37,520 --> 00:20:39,440
Speaker 1: with Jermaine Curse had a pretty good year last year.

386
00:20:39,480 --> 00:20:41,679
Speaker 1: It's gotta be tough for West to watch one of

387
00:20:41,720 --> 00:20:45,200
Speaker 1: his favorite quarterbacks and favorite white receivers throwing the ball

388
00:20:45,240 --> 00:20:47,159
Speaker 1: to each other on the Jets. You may have to

389
00:20:47,240 --> 00:20:50,359
Speaker 1: change change his opinion. Really enjoy it when Josh McCown

390
00:20:50,440 --> 00:20:54,000
Speaker 1: is one of my favorite quarters of the Dolphins continue

391
00:20:54,080 --> 00:20:57,280
Speaker 1: to make interesting moves. Frank Gore, the thirty five year

392
00:20:57,320 --> 00:21:00,400
Speaker 1: old running back uh signs a one year on check

393
00:21:00,440 --> 00:21:05,800
Speaker 1: with the Dolphins, the minimum deal. And Brock Osweiler, who

394
00:21:05,840 --> 00:21:08,760
Speaker 1: he's got to be approaching NFL record territory for how

395
00:21:08,760 --> 00:21:11,919
Speaker 1: many teams he's been on in you know, X amount

396
00:21:11,960 --> 00:21:13,240
Speaker 1: of time. What do we have to do? Is it

397
00:21:13,320 --> 00:21:15,680
Speaker 1: four teams in eighteen four in a year four? And yeah,

398
00:21:15,880 --> 00:21:19,320
Speaker 1: it's a pretty plus. How about that? A minimum deal

399
00:21:19,359 --> 00:21:23,440
Speaker 1: for frank Or? I guess is it just no guarantees

400
00:21:23,480 --> 00:21:25,160
Speaker 1: that he'll be on the team, but frank Or gets

401
00:21:25,200 --> 00:21:28,280
Speaker 1: a shot to continue. I think from what I understand,

402
00:21:28,440 --> 00:21:30,720
Speaker 1: Frank Gore was like, I want to be here. What

403
00:21:30,840 --> 00:21:33,119
Speaker 1: will you give me? Okay, fine, let's just do it,

404
00:21:33,200 --> 00:21:36,520
Speaker 1: like I think, not right, I mean, and like that's home.

405
00:21:37,440 --> 00:21:39,119
Speaker 1: You know, I think they could be good. I think

406
00:21:39,160 --> 00:21:43,800
Speaker 1: they're gonna be good, probably like they were two years ago. Um,

407
00:21:43,840 --> 00:21:45,600
Speaker 1: you know, we'll see what they do in the draft,

408
00:21:45,680 --> 00:21:46,919
Speaker 1: but I think they're going to be good. And so

409
00:21:47,040 --> 00:21:48,960
Speaker 1: he was like let's just let's just make it work here.

410
00:21:49,000 --> 00:21:52,280
Speaker 1: And I'm sure his agent kind of was like, okay, like,

411
00:21:52,320 --> 00:21:55,200
Speaker 1: you know, because you could have could have kept him longer,

412
00:21:55,240 --> 00:21:57,240
Speaker 1: could have kept him out last year, like Adrian Peterson

413
00:21:57,240 --> 00:21:59,000
Speaker 1: had been discussing a draft week. You know, he's he

414
00:21:59,040 --> 00:22:01,640
Speaker 1: gonna get two million or three million. But I think

415
00:22:01,680 --> 00:22:04,320
Speaker 1: Frank was just like, let's just do this, find me

416
00:22:04,359 --> 00:22:07,000
Speaker 1: a job, let's go. You know. Alan Hearns signs a

417
00:22:07,000 --> 00:22:10,880
Speaker 1: two year deal with the Dallas Cowboys. Rap sheet has

418
00:22:10,920 --> 00:22:13,960
Speaker 1: a two years worth twelve million. Does this affect Greg

419
00:22:14,000 --> 00:22:16,440
Speaker 1: in your opinion the does Brant situation at all. No.

420
00:22:17,160 --> 00:22:20,000
Speaker 1: I think all the contracts that came in this year

421
00:22:20,200 --> 00:22:23,240
Speaker 1: kind of helped Dez Bryant. When Paul Richardson is making

422
00:22:23,880 --> 00:22:26,679
Speaker 1: eighteen million, twenty million guaranteed, Marquis Leeve is making eight

423
00:22:26,760 --> 00:22:29,160
Speaker 1: or nine, suddenly does is twelve and a half million?

424
00:22:29,160 --> 00:22:31,600
Speaker 1: This year didn't look that bad. Alan Hearns is a

425
00:22:31,640 --> 00:22:34,680
Speaker 1: secondary receiver and this is making what twelve and a

426
00:22:34,720 --> 00:22:37,440
Speaker 1: half million, sixteen cap number, cap number, But that's kind

427
00:22:37,440 --> 00:22:40,920
Speaker 1: of ultimately the cast that they're paying out like they

428
00:22:40,960 --> 00:22:44,840
Speaker 1: need they need someone else. Alan Herns isn't bad gets benched.

429
00:22:44,880 --> 00:22:47,840
Speaker 1: Who gets benched with Dallas? Where does he play? I

430
00:22:48,320 --> 00:22:51,560
Speaker 1: I just don't see the fifth Terrence Williams. No, they

431
00:22:51,600 --> 00:22:57,800
Speaker 1: just paid him and the salaries guaranteed. I my guess

432
00:22:57,960 --> 00:23:00,720
Speaker 1: is Cole Beasley ends up being the men out there.

433
00:23:01,600 --> 00:23:03,720
Speaker 1: Interesting because he had a really good year in two

434
00:23:03,760 --> 00:23:07,120
Speaker 1: thousand six teams that didn't do anything like Like, I'd

435
00:23:07,320 --> 00:23:10,399
Speaker 1: be curious if they talked about possibly dealing him around

436
00:23:10,520 --> 00:23:12,760
Speaker 1: draft time, Like, I feel like that will be a

437
00:23:12,840 --> 00:23:16,600
Speaker 1: sort of buzzy name where they drafted his replacement, probably

438
00:23:17,040 --> 00:23:20,840
Speaker 1: make some money slot guy, like I could see that

439
00:23:20,960 --> 00:23:24,040
Speaker 1: being discussed. Traymont Williams also returns to the Packers on

440
00:23:24,080 --> 00:23:27,200
Speaker 1: a two year, ten million dollar deal after a short,

441
00:23:27,240 --> 00:23:30,000
Speaker 1: forgettable stint in Cleveland. That's what's happening with the free

442
00:23:30,000 --> 00:23:33,879
Speaker 1: agent roundups. And then finally, uh Bennett brother news and

443
00:23:33,880 --> 00:23:36,840
Speaker 1: there's a lot of it. And oddly it broke on

444
00:23:36,880 --> 00:23:42,040
Speaker 1: the same day, two very different stories. Or you think

445
00:23:42,080 --> 00:23:45,479
Speaker 1: you think Mark tellis Bennett was trying to change the story. Well,

446
00:23:45,560 --> 00:23:47,679
Speaker 1: let's get to the stories. We'll start with Michael Bennett,

447
00:23:47,680 --> 00:23:51,159
Speaker 1: who was indicted on a felony charge in Texas and

448
00:23:51,200 --> 00:23:55,640
Speaker 1: this dates back two moments after the allegiance and alleged

449
00:23:55,680 --> 00:23:59,600
Speaker 1: ins and moments moments after the Patriots and Michael's brother

450
00:23:59,720 --> 00:24:03,880
Speaker 1: Marty one Super Bowl fifty one over the Eagles. Uh.

451
00:24:04,000 --> 00:24:07,080
Speaker 1: The Harris County District Attorney's off As accuses Bennett of

452
00:24:07,119 --> 00:24:10,600
Speaker 1: injuring a sixty six year old paraplegic woman who was

453
00:24:10,640 --> 00:24:13,080
Speaker 1: working to control access to the field during the game.

454
00:24:13,119 --> 00:24:16,840
Speaker 1: Prosecutors claim Bennett injured the victim after he pushed his

455
00:24:16,880 --> 00:24:19,600
Speaker 1: way onto the field after being told to use another

456
00:24:19,760 --> 00:24:24,120
Speaker 1: entrance for field access. Uh, let's start here. Uh. Isn't

457
00:24:24,119 --> 00:24:25,960
Speaker 1: the upset of this that hands is didn't get this

458
00:24:26,000 --> 00:24:29,720
Speaker 1: on video? Iel? That would that would have been my school.

459
00:24:29,720 --> 00:24:31,840
Speaker 1: But I was busy, as you recall at that's your

460
00:24:31,880 --> 00:24:34,000
Speaker 1: will breaking big news of the e t and insider.

461
00:24:34,840 --> 00:24:37,680
Speaker 1: But why is this? Why did this take so long

462
00:24:38,080 --> 00:24:41,880
Speaker 1: to become a case? That's my my first takeaway from

463
00:24:41,880 --> 00:24:44,479
Speaker 1: it was, I mean there is a I don't know

464
00:24:44,520 --> 00:24:46,679
Speaker 1: if this is true or not, if he's guilty or not.

465
00:24:46,720 --> 00:24:48,479
Speaker 1: I know he was indicted, but I don't know if

466
00:24:48,480 --> 00:24:51,240
Speaker 1: he's guilty or not. That said, there are a lot

467
00:24:51,320 --> 00:24:56,919
Speaker 1: of legitimate questions about this, just logistically, like you know,

468
00:24:57,200 --> 00:24:59,680
Speaker 1: make a big deal of it. NFL player gets indicted,

469
00:24:59,720 --> 00:25:02,679
Speaker 1: but you spend thirteen months trying to get here, Like,

470
00:25:03,200 --> 00:25:06,639
Speaker 1: I'm sure there are other priorities, but stuff must have

471
00:25:06,680 --> 00:25:10,080
Speaker 1: been really important. There's no video, there's a lot. There's

472
00:25:10,080 --> 00:25:12,840
Speaker 1: a lot about it, including they quickly sort of changed

473
00:25:12,880 --> 00:25:14,919
Speaker 1: the word and made clear with the wording that he

474
00:25:14,960 --> 00:25:18,640
Speaker 1: actually never pushed the woman, and they sort of trying

475
00:25:18,680 --> 00:25:21,320
Speaker 1: to pin down the and the sheriff's Everything about it

476
00:25:21,359 --> 00:25:24,199
Speaker 1: is very questionable, but it'll play out, and it's one

477
00:25:24,240 --> 00:25:27,720
Speaker 1: of those things like Darrell Reva's news a year ago,

478
00:25:27,760 --> 00:25:30,120
Speaker 1: where I feel like it made a splash and then

479
00:25:30,119 --> 00:25:32,600
Speaker 1: eventually it just wasn't a story anymore. And he did

480
00:25:32,760 --> 00:25:38,640
Speaker 1: nothing except he was indicted in But like, how about this,

481
00:25:38,760 --> 00:25:42,920
Speaker 1: when it happens, you know, the paraplegic person is injured,

482
00:25:43,359 --> 00:25:46,439
Speaker 1: there's no commotion. Not saying the person wasn't injured. I'm

483
00:25:46,480 --> 00:25:50,840
Speaker 1: just saying, like you call an ambulance when someone is

484
00:25:51,040 --> 00:25:53,719
Speaker 1: paralyzed and injured. I don't just just I mean in general,

485
00:25:53,760 --> 00:25:55,560
Speaker 1: on the field after the Super Bowl, there's a lot

486
00:25:55,560 --> 00:25:58,040
Speaker 1: of commotion anyway I could I mean, who knows, but

487
00:25:58,520 --> 00:26:01,720
Speaker 1: I don't know. I just yeah, it's a strange case.

488
00:26:01,960 --> 00:26:03,840
Speaker 1: And Howie Rosen was going to talk today and I'm

489
00:26:03,960 --> 00:26:07,840
Speaker 1: very curious what he what he ends up saying about this. Yeah,

490
00:26:07,920 --> 00:26:10,239
Speaker 1: and uh, Marty Bennett, on the same day that this

491
00:26:10,320 --> 00:26:15,080
Speaker 1: comes out, announced that he was retiring to uh take

492
00:26:15,119 --> 00:26:19,040
Speaker 1: on like a full time role in I'm always a

493
00:26:19,040 --> 00:26:20,800
Speaker 1: little confused what he's doing. He's the founder of the

494
00:26:20,840 --> 00:26:24,480
Speaker 1: Imagination Agency. It's something to do with animation and children.

495
00:26:25,200 --> 00:26:28,880
Speaker 1: But Marty Bennett ends his career after ten seasons bounced

496
00:26:28,880 --> 00:26:32,600
Speaker 1: around a lot and uh disappointing final season where he

497
00:26:32,640 --> 00:26:35,160
Speaker 1: thought he was catching a ton of passes with Aaron Rodgers,

498
00:26:35,600 --> 00:26:37,720
Speaker 1: goes to the Patriots and that doesn't work out, and

499
00:26:37,720 --> 00:26:40,199
Speaker 1: he had an ugly exit from Green Bay. But a

500
00:26:40,280 --> 00:26:44,520
Speaker 1: nice career, mark as a really talented pass catching tight

501
00:26:44,600 --> 00:26:47,480
Speaker 1: end and a more intriguing personality than maybe even a

502
00:26:47,480 --> 00:26:49,480
Speaker 1: good player. I mean, but he we talked about him

503
00:26:49,480 --> 00:26:51,200
Speaker 1: on the last episode that he kind of broke out

504
00:26:51,480 --> 00:26:55,440
Speaker 1: with the New York Giants after starting relatively slow in Dallas.

505
00:26:55,520 --> 00:26:57,600
Speaker 1: And I think, you know, I have taken a little

506
00:26:57,600 --> 00:27:00,080
Speaker 1: bit of a look at some of this animation stuff

507
00:27:00,160 --> 00:27:04,720
Speaker 1: that he's up to, and he's legitimately talented, So we'll see, Yeah,

508
00:27:04,760 --> 00:27:07,040
Speaker 1: we'll see what what happens there? Is he the animator.

509
00:27:07,200 --> 00:27:08,639
Speaker 1: I really got to dig in on this. I'm not

510
00:27:08,680 --> 00:27:11,000
Speaker 1: I'm not plugged in. I'll go I will go to

511
00:27:11,040 --> 00:27:14,040
Speaker 1: Ian for the further details on that. The source on this,

512
00:27:14,880 --> 00:27:18,040
Speaker 1: um my favorite thing about Martellis Bennett is you never

513
00:27:18,119 --> 00:27:20,560
Speaker 1: quite know what in the world is actually going on.

514
00:27:20,800 --> 00:27:22,840
Speaker 1: So when he puts out this statement, I get an

515
00:27:22,840 --> 00:27:25,600
Speaker 1: email from our desk being like, hey, you know, we

516
00:27:25,640 --> 00:27:29,119
Speaker 1: think he's retiring. Can you confirm? And I'm like okay,

517
00:27:29,240 --> 00:27:31,960
Speaker 1: Like I'll just double check. Reach out to his agent

518
00:27:32,640 --> 00:27:38,560
Speaker 1: and he says, I don't know. Man was he was on.

519
00:27:38,720 --> 00:27:42,000
Speaker 1: He was like Pellisero emailed him and he was like, yeah,

520
00:27:42,000 --> 00:27:44,080
Speaker 1: I'm retiring and like, okay, well then it's good back.

521
00:27:44,160 --> 00:27:46,359
Speaker 1: The agent was like, I don't know. I hadn't heard him, Like,

522
00:27:46,359 --> 00:27:50,160
Speaker 1: well he put at a statement. I think, like, I'm

523
00:27:50,200 --> 00:27:52,280
Speaker 1: pretty sure it's retirement, but you never quite sure. Could

524
00:27:52,320 --> 00:27:53,760
Speaker 1: it be like I don't want to do training camp,

525
00:27:53,800 --> 00:27:57,080
Speaker 1: but I will sign with someone on August or something.

526
00:27:57,480 --> 00:27:59,560
Speaker 1: I think when he got he'll I don't know where

527
00:27:59,560 --> 00:28:01,160
Speaker 1: he's gonna oh, but it's going to be some place

528
00:28:01,200 --> 00:28:03,280
Speaker 1: I'm sure he will be unreachable in some place weird.

529
00:28:03,320 --> 00:28:05,520
Speaker 1: In August, he was on the Bill Simmons podcast last weekend.

530
00:28:05,480 --> 00:28:08,440
Speaker 1: It was a really interesting episode, was the two brothers

531
00:28:08,480 --> 00:28:10,960
Speaker 1: together and he he was talking about football in a

532
00:28:10,960 --> 00:28:12,960
Speaker 1: way you would have never thought that he was going

533
00:28:13,000 --> 00:28:17,120
Speaker 1: to retire that week. I'm not sold yet, Norman. Let's

534
00:28:17,119 --> 00:28:21,919
Speaker 1: see what happens. Always always will think of him as

535
00:28:21,920 --> 00:28:25,359
Speaker 1: a guy that could have been almost caught the game

536
00:28:25,359 --> 00:28:27,720
Speaker 1: winning touchdown and what would have been the greatest play

537
00:28:27,760 --> 00:28:30,640
Speaker 1: in Patriots history, maybe from from Tom Brady. He talked

538
00:28:30,640 --> 00:28:32,560
Speaker 1: about him, and Tom talked about that all the time

539
00:28:32,600 --> 00:28:35,680
Speaker 1: that Tom really Tom Brady really regrets not putting the

540
00:28:35,720 --> 00:28:38,280
Speaker 1: ball up a little high, referring to the play that

541
00:28:38,320 --> 00:28:40,680
Speaker 1: would have won the Super Bowl against the Atlanta Falcons.

542
00:28:40,680 --> 00:28:44,200
Speaker 1: They called past interference. It's set up the James White touchdown,

543
00:28:44,360 --> 00:28:47,520
Speaker 1: but he just to play before. So you're wistful and

544
00:28:47,720 --> 00:28:51,080
Speaker 1: you feel bad with you didn't get a chance to experience.

545
00:28:51,160 --> 00:28:55,760
Speaker 1: I'm not hening touchdown play before the game winning touchdown.

546
00:28:55,800 --> 00:28:59,840
Speaker 1: But if you were another sliding doors example for a

547
00:29:00,000 --> 00:29:02,800
Speaker 1: tough franchise, I couldn't care less, But imagine if you

548
00:29:02,840 --> 00:29:05,160
Speaker 1: were Tom Brady and Martellis Bennet wouldn't that, they wouldn't

549
00:29:05,160 --> 00:29:08,400
Speaker 1: do that, of course. Yeah, Tom Brady is not gonna

550
00:29:08,400 --> 00:29:12,040
Speaker 1: have enough highlights on his Hall of Fame video. All right, rap, rap,

551
00:29:12,440 --> 00:29:14,480
Speaker 1: you got to get back in the lobby. You're moving

552

00:29:29,960 --> 00:29:35,960

00:30:46,800 --> 00:30:50,000
Speaker 1: really quick. Lastly, so I asked you to use the

577
00:30:50,000 --> 00:30:53,280
Speaker 1: word surging big. How come when you and you introduced her,

578

579
00:30:56,560 --> 00:31:00,080
Speaker 1: was like Rick Flair. The music was actually less The

580
00:31:00,520 --> 00:31:07,080
Speaker 1: suspicions were correct. That was Yeah. I think that's that's

581
00:31:07,120 --> 00:31:10,760
Speaker 1: like the first couple of Los Angeles football music. Do

582
00:31:10,800 --> 00:31:12,360
Speaker 1: you like that? Like? Do you like to being known

583
00:31:12,400 --> 00:31:14,800
Speaker 1: as that? Can we start that? I'm want to go

584
00:31:14,880 --> 00:31:17,600
Speaker 1: with the keep to lead line, and you know I

585
00:31:17,600 --> 00:31:22,320
Speaker 1: don't do nicknames. That's for you guys. Hey, while while

586
00:31:22,320 --> 00:31:24,040
Speaker 1: we're here and we have a bunch of stuff to

587
00:31:24,080 --> 00:31:26,720
Speaker 1: get to, but there is some news. We had rap

588
00:31:26,760 --> 00:31:29,000
Speaker 1: sheet on the show earlier today that we were talking

589
00:31:29,040 --> 00:31:32,640
Speaker 1: about Dominquan Sue and how the Jets very publicly rescinded

590
00:31:32,680 --> 00:31:36,520
Speaker 1: their contract offer. Everyone's saying it looks like it's the Rams.

591
00:31:36,720 --> 00:31:40,280
Speaker 1: Can you give us anything confirm it? What I did

592
00:31:40,320 --> 00:31:43,000
Speaker 1: do is till Ian to let me know when he

593
00:31:43,080 --> 00:31:48,680
Speaker 1: finds out, So that's what I can confirms. And I

594
00:31:48,720 --> 00:31:50,160
Speaker 1: was just getting a text, so it could have been

595
00:31:50,200 --> 00:31:52,120
Speaker 1: Ian and he might have found something out. But I

596
00:31:52,200 --> 00:31:53,520
Speaker 1: feel for you to check it. I mean, if you

597
00:31:53,560 --> 00:31:56,120
Speaker 1: want to do some breaking news of finding out Sue

598
00:31:56,120 --> 00:31:58,600

599
00:32:01,160 --> 00:32:02,280
Speaker 1: Do you want me to check it and then I

600
00:32:02,360 --> 00:32:05,320
Speaker 1: can break it. And it's just I think it's a

601
00:32:05,400 --> 00:32:09,440
Speaker 1: great idea. Yeah, and we were, you know, and domin

602

00:32:32,360 --> 00:32:34,480
Speaker 1: can he do to help us. So it's always fun

611
00:32:34,520 --> 00:32:37,760
Speaker 1: to bring someone like him in and say, okay, with

612
00:32:37,880 --> 00:32:40,480
Speaker 1: Wade Phillips a three or four defense. He's always played

613
00:32:40,480 --> 00:32:42,960
Speaker 1: in a four or three and let Wade and his

614
00:32:43,040 --> 00:32:46,240
Speaker 1: staff explain him, this is how we're gonna use you

615
00:32:46,640 --> 00:32:49,400
Speaker 1: in base, in in nickel, and and in some of

616
00:32:49,400 --> 00:32:51,960
Speaker 1: the situations when you get into nickel or the when

617
00:32:51,960 --> 00:32:54,040
Speaker 1: you're rushing the past, or what you might be able

618
00:32:54,040 --> 00:32:56,720
Speaker 1: to do with him partnering with Aaron Donald. So those

619
00:32:56,720 --> 00:32:59,720
Speaker 1: are the fun things. Let's talk about football and culture

620
00:32:59,760 --> 00:33:02,680
Speaker 1: and and do we provide what he's looking forward to,

621

Speaker 1: he provide what we're looking forward You go out to

622
00:33:05,400 --> 00:33:06,960
Speaker 1: eat it all the way there, We did go out

Speaker 1: to eat so so yeah, I'll give you the I'll

624
00:33:09,280 --> 00:33:12,120
Speaker 1: give you the good story. That was a great GM answer.

625
00:33:12,480 --> 00:33:14,560
Speaker 1: And you guys are like, okay, it's about football. It

626
00:33:14,640 --> 00:33:18,920
Speaker 1: is about football, right and so and it is about football.

627
00:33:18,920 --> 00:33:20,200
Speaker 1: I mean, you go through all of this and you

628
00:33:20,200 --> 00:33:22,240
Speaker 1: can get involved in this and that, and then at

629
00:33:22,280 --> 00:33:23,800
Speaker 1: the end of the day you're like, okay, but what

630
00:33:23,880 --> 00:33:26,120
Speaker 1: is he going to do on the field with Aaron Donald?

631
00:33:26,120 --> 00:33:28,360
Speaker 1: And how does he help our team? But we went out,

632
00:33:28,760 --> 00:33:31,080
Speaker 1: we had done it meant together. And then we stopped

633
00:33:31,080 --> 00:33:34,480
Speaker 1: at the dinner when he came into town with his girlfriend,

634
00:33:34,520 --> 00:33:36,560
Speaker 1: who is so cool by the way, she's like six

635
00:33:36,600 --> 00:33:40,200
Speaker 1: ft two, she played basketball. She's amazing. So I spent

636
00:33:40,240 --> 00:33:42,120
Speaker 1: my night talking to her. But we had in Dominican,

637
00:33:42,240 --> 00:33:45,560
Speaker 1: we had uh Stan Cronky, Josh Cronky, Kevin dem Off,

638
00:33:45,680 --> 00:33:47,920
Speaker 1: so we had you know, Sean McVeigh. We had the

639
00:33:47,920 --> 00:33:52,000
Speaker 1: whole group assembled at No Boo. You were asking in Malibu,

640
00:33:52,080 --> 00:33:54,440
Speaker 1: which I mean, if you're gonna take somebody and show

641
00:33:54,480 --> 00:33:56,200
Speaker 1: them l A like, that's where you're gonna do it.

642
00:33:56,280 --> 00:33:58,040
Speaker 1: So Less and I walk in the front door. It's

643
00:33:58,040 --> 00:34:01,480
Speaker 1: about football. Lesson, I walk in the front door, but

644
00:34:01,480 --> 00:34:03,280
Speaker 1: we're still recruiting at this point. And we walk in

645
00:34:03,320 --> 00:34:05,960
Speaker 1: the front door and there's James Corton, like literally like

646
00:34:06,000 --> 00:34:08,520
Speaker 1: we bumped into him at the front door, and Less says, hey,

647
00:34:08,560 --> 00:34:09,880
Speaker 1: good to see you again, because he had done a

648
00:34:09,920 --> 00:34:12,440
Speaker 1: skit where he was in l a Ram's cheerleader at

649
00:34:12,440 --> 00:34:15,839
Speaker 1: one of our games and quickly became clear to us

650
00:34:15,920 --> 00:34:18,680
Speaker 1: that he doesn't know that much about football and doesn't

651
00:34:18,760 --> 00:34:21,200
Speaker 1: so we're sitting here trying to way do we bring

652
00:34:21,239 --> 00:34:23,319
Speaker 1: him back to meet in Dominican Sue or not, or

653
00:34:23,360 --> 00:34:26,440
Speaker 1: he's even going to understand. He didn't, so we just

654
00:34:26,520 --> 00:34:27,799
Speaker 1: let him go on and have his dinner. And then

655
00:34:27,840 --> 00:34:29,840
Speaker 1: you passed by a table and there's David Spade and

656
00:34:29,880 --> 00:34:32,000
Speaker 1: Chris Rock and you're like, oh my gosh, like this

657
00:34:32,040 --> 00:34:35,400
Speaker 1: is like perfect l a fever dream if you're gonna parade,

658
00:34:35,880 --> 00:34:38,239
Speaker 1: you know in Dominican Sue story was going to end

659
00:34:38,280 --> 00:34:42,279
Speaker 1: with you guys doing carpool karaoke with you know what

660
00:34:42,360 --> 00:34:46,279
Speaker 1: that would have actually been see we needed you. Yes,

661
00:34:46,400 --> 00:34:48,759
Speaker 1: he probably probably would have liked it, but it was

662
00:34:48,960 --> 00:34:51,920
Speaker 1: It was a really fun dinner and you know, you

663
00:34:51,920 --> 00:34:54,960
Speaker 1: could really see and anybody who follows in Dominan Sue

664
00:34:54,960 --> 00:34:58,120
Speaker 1: has seen, you know, him with Buffett and you know

665
00:34:58,320 --> 00:35:00,400
Speaker 1: how he's interested. So he and stand we're really getting

666
00:35:00,400 --> 00:35:02,759
Speaker 1: into some you know, some deep conversations. And that's the

667
00:35:02,840 --> 00:35:06,200
Speaker 1: kind of guy um that he is. And the great

668
00:35:06,239 --> 00:35:08,480
Speaker 1: moment and I'm gonna I'm gonna give a little bit

669
00:35:08,480 --> 00:35:12,200
Speaker 1: of thing away the great moment of the night. Now

670
00:35:12,239 --> 00:35:13,960
Speaker 1: he knows what I'm going to say. The great moment

671
00:35:13,960 --> 00:35:17,280
Speaker 1: of the night is uh Stan pulls his chair over

672
00:35:17,400 --> 00:35:19,359
Speaker 1: right next to and Dominican he goes, Okay, now I'm

673
00:35:19,400 --> 00:35:22,719
Speaker 1: going to play the part of of uh In Dominican's agent,

674
00:35:22,760 --> 00:35:24,560
Speaker 1: and I'm going to ask some tough questions. So then

675
00:35:24,560 --> 00:35:28,680
Speaker 1: he started peppering questions to Sean to answer for Domican.

676
00:35:28,840 --> 00:35:30,960
Speaker 1: And it was hilarious and it was fun and it

677
00:35:31,040 --> 00:35:33,520
Speaker 1: was you know, it was a great night. But um,

678
00:35:33,560 --> 00:35:36,520
Speaker 1: you know, he's a really really interesting guy who has

679
00:35:36,560 --> 00:35:40,279
Speaker 1: a lot of broad interests and obviously very analytical. As

680
00:35:40,320 --> 00:35:44,000
Speaker 1: we sit here on day number what of the quick

681
00:35:44,000 --> 00:35:46,880
Speaker 1: counting quick counting? I spoke to his mom for a

682
00:35:46,920 --> 00:35:48,880
Speaker 1: Mother's Day piece and she informed me that he was

683
00:35:48,960 --> 00:35:52,319
Speaker 1: like a killer lego talent as a kid. So if

684
00:35:52,320 --> 00:35:54,680
Speaker 1: that helps with your scouting at all, was if your

685
00:35:54,800 --> 00:35:57,000
Speaker 1: talent at at the building even at a young age.

686
00:35:57,000 --> 00:36:00,919
Speaker 1: So trying to think how that relates just we try

687
00:36:00,960 --> 00:36:06,480
Speaker 1: to like left turn humble brag by Mark, it's pretty

688
00:36:06,480 --> 00:36:10,600
Speaker 1: good part of the job. Well, he was also obviously

689
00:36:10,600 --> 00:36:12,839
Speaker 1: a big soccer guy. I mean we all remember when

690
00:36:12,840 --> 00:36:14,319
Speaker 1: he I think it was at the game when he

691
00:36:14,360 --> 00:36:15,960
Speaker 1: missed the extra point when he had to kick the

692
00:36:16,000 --> 00:36:20,600
Speaker 1: extra point right, Um, so he um, you know, he

693
00:36:20,680 --> 00:36:22,560
Speaker 1: and Stan obviously could bond on that too. He's a

694
00:36:22,560 --> 00:36:25,640
Speaker 1: big Arsenal fan. I'm just impressed CRONI can do improv.

695
00:36:26,200 --> 00:36:28,840
Speaker 1: Oh he was no. See that's what you guys don't understand.

696
00:36:28,880 --> 00:36:32,279
Speaker 1: He's really hilarious and he is when you get him

697
00:36:32,280 --> 00:36:35,640
Speaker 1: in a situation like that, like he's a fun, dynamic

698
00:36:35,680 --> 00:36:37,959
Speaker 1: person to talk. I feel like if he signs, it'll

699
00:36:38,000 --> 00:36:41,120
Speaker 1: be because of all those celebrities that were that's at

700
00:36:41,160 --> 00:36:43,040
Speaker 1: least how I'll put it there. I mean that that's

701
00:36:43,200 --> 00:36:44,680
Speaker 1: l A coming through for you. Like when I was

702
00:36:45,200 --> 00:36:47,239
Speaker 1: like twenty two years ago, a friend visited me in

703
00:36:47,360 --> 00:36:49,279
Speaker 1: l A. He's like and he was like, can you

704
00:36:49,480 --> 00:36:52,000
Speaker 1: bring me somewhere maybe a celebrity would be And we

705
00:36:52,040 --> 00:36:55,000
Speaker 1: went to the newsroom and Jennifer love Huett was at

706
00:36:55,000 --> 00:36:56,520
Speaker 1: the table next door, and like, I was a hero

707
00:36:56,680 --> 00:36:58,520
Speaker 1: for life right there. And I think that's the same

708
00:36:58,560 --> 00:37:01,279
Speaker 1: thing that's going to happen to you. Very interesting like that, Well,

709
00:37:01,280 --> 00:37:05,759
Speaker 1: so is he waiting for more celebrities? Like so what

710
00:37:05,800 --> 00:37:09,600
Speaker 1: about what less with with the team? And I respected

711
00:37:09,600 --> 00:37:13,520
Speaker 1: because there's a lot of gms like you guys really um,

712
00:37:13,560 --> 00:37:15,760
Speaker 1: I had a nice season last year, got to the playoffs,

713
00:37:15,760 --> 00:37:18,160
Speaker 1: didn't work out against the Falcons, but it seems like

714
00:37:18,200 --> 00:37:22,240
Speaker 1: you have this great core in place. Some front offices

715
00:37:22,320 --> 00:37:24,520
Speaker 1: might kind of sit tight, but you have went the

716
00:37:24,640 --> 00:37:29,600
Speaker 1: route of making changes, making big decisions on players. Uh,

717
00:37:29,760 --> 00:37:31,759
Speaker 1: coming out of that season, did you still see the

718
00:37:31,760 --> 00:37:34,000
Speaker 1: team is very much a work in progress and that's

719
00:37:34,000 --> 00:37:36,640
Speaker 1: why we've seen so much, so much action and free agency.

720
00:37:37,239 --> 00:37:41,000
Speaker 1: Excellent question. I think it's complicated answer, but no doubt

721
00:37:41,040 --> 00:37:44,160
Speaker 1: last year was fulfilling and and the fulfilling part of

722
00:37:44,200 --> 00:37:49,360
Speaker 1: that's hey, eleven wins NFC West champions. But I think

723
00:37:49,440 --> 00:37:53,520
Speaker 1: after successful seasons you really to move forward. You need

724
00:37:53,560 --> 00:37:55,759
Speaker 1: to take stuff back and go, Okay, why did we

725
00:37:55,840 --> 00:37:58,719
Speaker 1: lose five? Why didn't we host a playoff game? Why

726
00:37:58,760 --> 00:38:02,200
Speaker 1: didn't we get a buy How can we make sure

727
00:38:02,280 --> 00:38:05,319
Speaker 1: that we repeat, as you know, division champs? Not just

728
00:38:05,440 --> 00:38:07,360
Speaker 1: rest on your laurels and those are you got to

729
00:38:07,400 --> 00:38:09,960
Speaker 1: be very critical. You need to take some time and

730
00:38:09,960 --> 00:38:13,080
Speaker 1: and and get away and and get the emotions out

731
00:38:13,080 --> 00:38:14,759
Speaker 1: of it and sit back. How do we get better?

732
00:38:14,800 --> 00:38:16,359
Speaker 1: And one of the one of the reasons I think

733
00:38:16,360 --> 00:38:20,960
Speaker 1: coming into the seventeen season, we said goal number one

734
00:38:21,040 --> 00:38:23,239
Speaker 1: was find the right head football coach. I think we

735
00:38:23,320 --> 00:38:26,120
Speaker 1: got that done right. Gold Number two fixed the offense.

736
00:38:26,160 --> 00:38:29,399
Speaker 1: The offense has been our Achilles Hill. So obviously think

737
00:38:29,719 --> 00:38:32,000
Speaker 1: we got that done. Didn't plan for it to go

738
00:38:32,120 --> 00:38:34,280
Speaker 1: from one to or thirty two to one or whatever,

739
00:38:34,520 --> 00:38:36,520
Speaker 1: but we did. We always knew, hey, let's don't forget

740
00:38:36,520 --> 00:38:38,840
Speaker 1: about the defense. Let's don't forget about the special teams.

741
00:38:38,840 --> 00:38:41,160
Speaker 1: But I think coming into this year, if you you know,

742
00:38:41,840 --> 00:38:45,400
Speaker 1: bolted down to one goal is let's make sure that

743
00:38:45,440 --> 00:38:47,600
Speaker 1: our defense keeps up with our offense. Because our offense

744
00:38:47,680 --> 00:38:50,680
Speaker 1: is young and our defense was there was some aging

745
00:38:50,719 --> 00:38:52,799
Speaker 1: parts and there was also some parts that weren't the

746
00:38:52,840 --> 00:38:55,840
Speaker 1: best fits for for Wade scheme. And and he's in

747
00:38:55,920 --> 00:38:58,560
Speaker 1: charge over there. He's proven to be very good. And

748
00:38:58,600 --> 00:39:01,720
Speaker 1: if we can get that that defense up to his speed,

749
00:39:01,760 --> 00:39:03,560
Speaker 1: and we got a really good chance to to do

750
00:39:03,640 --> 00:39:05,239
Speaker 1: some of those other goals. Last year, there was a

751
00:39:05,280 --> 00:39:08,600
Speaker 1: lot of talk about Sean McVeigh bean and Jared Golf's

752
00:39:08,600 --> 00:39:11,520
Speaker 1: ear uh you know, with thirty seconds on the clock

753
00:39:11,560 --> 00:39:13,759
Speaker 1: and then talking him up to the line of scrimmage.

754
00:39:14,239 --> 00:39:16,680
Speaker 1: On one hand, we think, okay, that's kind of new

755
00:39:16,920 --> 00:39:19,920
Speaker 1: and this is part of the reason behind golf success.

756
00:39:20,120 --> 00:39:22,160
Speaker 1: On the other hand, coordinators have been doing this for

757
00:39:22,200 --> 00:39:24,560
Speaker 1: a while how much of this was revolutionary and how

758
00:39:24,640 --> 00:39:29,160
Speaker 1: much of it is just um typical NFL quarterback. I

759
00:39:29,200 --> 00:39:32,320
Speaker 1: think you're right it you have you have up until

760
00:39:32,360 --> 00:39:35,000
Speaker 1: fifteen seconds to to talk to your QB. That's why

761
00:39:35,040 --> 00:39:39,760
Speaker 1: they put the QB two coach system in the helmets

762
00:39:39,800 --> 00:39:43,000
Speaker 1: to do that. So I think it's nothing that's revolutionary,

763
00:39:43,120 --> 00:39:46,280
Speaker 1: But I like, like anything, there's thirty two different head coaches,

764
00:39:46,320 --> 00:39:50,680
Speaker 1: thirty two different offensive coordinators, and how they utilize their

765
00:39:50,719 --> 00:39:53,280
Speaker 1: time with the QB before the snap is probably where

766
00:39:53,640 --> 00:39:57,200
Speaker 1: the differences, you know occur, where edges are gained or not,

767
00:39:57,320 --> 00:40:00,120
Speaker 1: and and and really really good coaches taken event to

768
00:40:00,200 --> 00:40:02,799
Speaker 1: that was there You mentioned there were some guys maybe

769
00:40:02,800 --> 00:40:05,720
Speaker 1: not great fits. Was that the decision with trading alec

770
00:40:05,960 --> 00:40:08,880
Speaker 1: Ogletree because you had just given him extension. I know

771
00:40:08,920 --> 00:40:11,440
Speaker 1: he was very highly thought of as a leader. That

772
00:40:11,520 --> 00:40:13,720
Speaker 1: was probably the one that I think probably surprised RAMS

773
00:40:13,719 --> 00:40:16,879
Speaker 1: fans the most. Yeah, it was that when I can

774
00:40:16,920 --> 00:40:20,399
Speaker 1: say this great leader, great human. We resigned him because

775
00:40:20,400 --> 00:40:22,799
Speaker 1: he was one of our best football players. But when

776
00:40:22,840 --> 00:40:26,960
Speaker 1: we sat back and and really analyzed, talked about discuss

777
00:40:27,080 --> 00:40:33,239
Speaker 1: what makes Wade's defense go is the corner position and Interestingly,

778
00:40:33,280 --> 00:40:35,719
Speaker 1: we did the Marcus Peter's trade before we did the

779
00:40:35,880 --> 00:40:41,440
Speaker 1: Key turn to leave trade. But once a key became available,

780
00:40:41,440 --> 00:40:43,839
Speaker 1: how do you fit him within the parameters of your

781
00:40:43,840 --> 00:40:47,040
Speaker 1: salary cap with with other things like Aaron Donald extension

782
00:40:47,040 --> 00:40:49,759
Speaker 1: and things like that coming down the line. Sometimes you

783
00:40:49,800 --> 00:40:52,680
Speaker 1: have to make sacrifices to to get gains. And that's

784
00:40:52,760 --> 00:40:56,160
Speaker 1: how that occurred. As as we sit out this offseason,

785
00:40:56,200 --> 00:40:58,880
Speaker 1: we said, look, we need to solidify the corner position,

786
00:40:59,080 --> 00:41:02,080
Speaker 1: whether that's back Tremaine Johnson because we've got we've got

787
00:41:02,080 --> 00:41:04,120
Speaker 1: some young players we like, but there's some injuries there,

788
00:41:04,360 --> 00:41:07,279
Speaker 1: whether that's drafting someone, but we knew we need to

789
00:41:07,280 --> 00:41:10,560
Speaker 1: solidify that position. And then once we came up with that,

790
00:41:10,560 --> 00:41:13,160
Speaker 1: that vision, that goal, we we attacked the off season

791
00:41:13,200 --> 00:41:15,400
Speaker 1: and then every now and then there's some adjustments you

792
00:41:15,480 --> 00:41:18,719
Speaker 1: make halfway. The NFC West is kind of interesting right

793
00:41:18,719 --> 00:41:21,120
Speaker 1: now because to me anyway, and we've talked about a

794
00:41:21,160 --> 00:41:23,160
Speaker 1: lot about it on the show, it seems to be

795
00:41:23,239 --> 00:41:26,880
Speaker 1: in transition and the rams uh surging just like that

796
00:41:26,920 --> 00:41:29,759
Speaker 1: word like connecting surging to your organization. That's cool, right,

797
00:41:29,960 --> 00:41:32,279
Speaker 1: That's a good verb. Is that a verb? Surgey, No,

798
00:41:32,400 --> 00:41:35,359
Speaker 1: that's an action. That's, Oh, I'm not your duke. Tell

799
00:41:35,360 --> 00:41:39,319
Speaker 1: me what the surgeon is got like this bubble over

800
00:41:39,360 --> 00:41:41,719
Speaker 1: my head trying to figure it out. I wasn't gonna

801
00:41:41,719 --> 00:41:45,000
Speaker 1: bring up duke today, by the way, but now thanks.

802
00:41:49,719 --> 00:41:52,680
Speaker 1: But here's what's in my office right it's I got

803
00:41:52,680 --> 00:41:56,320
Speaker 1: a nice frame and it's a duke diploma or degree

804
00:41:56,520 --> 00:41:59,000
Speaker 1: that would be you know, and and people always, oh,

805
00:41:59,040 --> 00:42:01,760
Speaker 1: you want the duke, gonna go always read the fine print.

806
00:42:03,120 --> 00:42:07,360
Speaker 1: Uh got her name on it. So the Seahawks, we

807
00:42:07,480 --> 00:42:09,960
Speaker 1: got so used to them being the powerhouse in the West,

808
00:42:10,000 --> 00:42:13,480
Speaker 1: and they're a team in transition the Cardinals. It's hard

809
00:42:13,520 --> 00:42:15,120
Speaker 1: to make sense of where the Cardinals are right now

810
00:42:15,120 --> 00:42:17,879
Speaker 1: as a team. And but then there's the forty Niners,

811
00:42:17,960 --> 00:42:20,640
Speaker 1: who if I were a betting man, and I'm not

812
00:42:20,760 --> 00:42:25,000
Speaker 1: because I work for NFL Media and prohibited, that feels

813
00:42:25,040 --> 00:42:28,880
Speaker 1: like the new rivalry on the rise in your division.

814
00:42:29,320 --> 00:42:31,960
Speaker 1: About that little rams Niners for the next six to

815
00:42:32,040 --> 00:42:35,600
Speaker 1: seven years. It's interesting that anybody in your division is

816
00:42:35,640 --> 00:42:38,839
Speaker 1: always a rivalry. So I'm not gonna single out as

817
00:42:38,920 --> 00:42:42,760
Speaker 1: much fun as this would be, uh those guys, because yes,

818
00:42:42,800 --> 00:42:46,680
Speaker 1: what I can say that I respect about what Kyle

819
00:42:47,200 --> 00:42:51,120
Speaker 1: John that organization has done is Hey, they've attacked, you know,

820
00:42:51,160 --> 00:42:53,880
Speaker 1: their off season, They've tried to get better. They're trying

821
00:42:53,920 --> 00:42:57,200
Speaker 1: to come, you know, take the division crown. But on

822
00:42:57,239 --> 00:43:00,839
Speaker 1: the other hand, yes, the Seahawks maybe in some sort

823
00:43:00,880 --> 00:43:04,080
Speaker 1: of transition, as every NFL team is, but they still

824
00:43:04,200 --> 00:43:06,880
Speaker 1: have what makes them go, and that's Russell Wiltson. At

825
00:43:06,880 --> 00:43:09,840
Speaker 1: the end of the day, that guy makes them go.

826
00:43:10,040 --> 00:43:11,719
Speaker 1: That's been their heart and so on. Their defense has

827
00:43:11,719 --> 00:43:14,200
Speaker 1: been their heart and soul. But Russell's a tough out

828
00:43:14,719 --> 00:43:17,080
Speaker 1: and they still have him in. As long as he's there,

829
00:43:17,520 --> 00:43:19,879
Speaker 1: they're there and they got a chance. And I think

830
00:43:19,920 --> 00:43:22,560
Speaker 1: that you know what I really respect about the Cardinals

831
00:43:22,640 --> 00:43:25,680
Speaker 1: is they hired a really good I think head football

832
00:43:25,719 --> 00:43:28,759
Speaker 1: coach they's gonna have to replace. That's big footsteps to

833
00:43:28,800 --> 00:43:32,920
Speaker 1: go in and replace uh coach Areans his staff. But

834
00:43:33,360 --> 00:43:35,440
Speaker 1: I think, you know, like any team, they're fighting, they're

835
00:43:35,480 --> 00:43:37,839
Speaker 1: can you know, they're gonna try to contend. There will

836
00:43:37,880 --> 00:43:40,000
Speaker 1: be some rivalry elements though, I mean, I think it's

837
00:43:40,000 --> 00:43:42,719
Speaker 1: a lot of fun when you you know, Poke Sewan

838
00:43:42,800 --> 00:43:46,040
Speaker 1: about it because he and Kyle are like brothers and

839
00:43:46,080 --> 00:43:50,560
Speaker 1: they are very competitive with each other and it's hilarious.

840
00:43:51,800 --> 00:43:55,640
Speaker 1: So it's good. That's mean. And just when you see them,

841
00:43:55,840 --> 00:43:57,920
Speaker 1: they're just like that, the same guy. No, that's that,

842
00:43:58,080 --> 00:44:00,319
Speaker 1: that's Kyle though, that's him. Yeah, they don't look at

843
00:44:00,320 --> 00:44:03,680
Speaker 1: anything alike Dan's work. And when we saw you at

844
00:44:03,719 --> 00:44:06,239
Speaker 1: the playoff game, when Chris and Dana were there, and

845
00:44:06,400 --> 00:44:08,880
Speaker 1: I know that I was pacing because it was it was,

846
00:44:08,960 --> 00:44:11,200
Speaker 1: it was. It was a tough it was a tough moment.

847
00:44:11,280 --> 00:44:13,160
Speaker 1: The thing I'd say though, because you know, you came

848
00:44:13,200 --> 00:44:15,560
Speaker 1: from NFL network, but you seem to be having the

849
00:44:15,600 --> 00:44:17,480
Speaker 1: time of your life watching because when you when you

850
00:44:17,520 --> 00:44:20,239
Speaker 1: guys linked up, the Rams were not a surging team

851
00:44:20,239 --> 00:44:22,600
Speaker 1: in the same way you guys were growing, And so

852
00:44:22,640 --> 00:44:27,080
Speaker 1: I one y'all never used the word growing. Okay, you were,

853
00:44:26,480 --> 00:44:28,839
Speaker 1: you were a work in progress, But I would wonder

854
00:44:28,840 --> 00:44:31,120
Speaker 1: for you, what is it like to go to suddenly

855
00:44:31,160 --> 00:44:34,040
Speaker 1: be linked to one team where you're Sundays are so

856
00:44:34,120 --> 00:44:36,719
Speaker 1: much about it, and to not be viewing it as

857
00:44:37,120 --> 00:44:41,160
Speaker 1: how long do we have? However much you want? There's

858
00:44:41,360 --> 00:44:45,040
Speaker 1: Karen didn't use the word work in progress. It's interesting.

859
00:44:45,120 --> 00:44:47,560
Speaker 1: I think in one way it was like I went

860
00:44:47,680 --> 00:44:51,520
Speaker 1: to graduate school to then be married to a general manager.

861
00:44:51,640 --> 00:44:53,839
Speaker 1: Sometimes I'm sure he wished I didn't know as much

862
00:44:53,920 --> 00:44:56,200
Speaker 1: because I go home and ask, you know, all the

863
00:44:56,239 --> 00:44:59,880
Speaker 1: tough questions that you guys, he has a press conference

864
00:45:00,000 --> 00:45:02,719
Speaker 1: and you better tell me the truth. Um So I

865
00:45:02,760 --> 00:45:05,360
Speaker 1: always tell people it's like the Iceberg effect when you

866
00:45:05,360 --> 00:45:07,759
Speaker 1: know there's only ten percent above water. That's what I

867
00:45:07,840 --> 00:45:11,440
Speaker 1: found out going from reporter to being on the inside.

868
00:45:11,680 --> 00:45:13,799
Speaker 1: Is before I was like, oh, yeah, I've got this.

869
00:45:13,880 --> 00:45:16,200
Speaker 1: I know everything and I'm going to report everything I know.

870
00:45:16,280 --> 00:45:17,680
Speaker 1: And I'm like, I didn't know anything, and I was

871
00:45:17,719 --> 00:45:19,719
Speaker 1: still reporting everything I know. Now I know everything and

872
00:45:19,760 --> 00:45:22,640
Speaker 1: I can't tell anybody anything. But I love being a

873
00:45:22,719 --> 00:45:24,719
Speaker 1: fly on the wall. For you know, we were in

874
00:45:24,800 --> 00:45:27,600
Speaker 1: Hawaii when the Marcus Peter's trade went down, and I'm

875
00:45:27,640 --> 00:45:29,560
Speaker 1: just sitting there. I'm like, you know, what's going on?

876
00:45:29,600 --> 00:45:31,440
Speaker 1: What are we doing? Who's you know? And so I

877
00:45:31,520 --> 00:45:33,799
Speaker 1: it's I get to I get to now live it.

878
00:45:34,120 --> 00:45:35,480
Speaker 1: And you were saying I was having the time of

879
00:45:35,480 --> 00:45:39,080
Speaker 1: my life. It's awful. I mean it is awful. Yeah,

880
00:45:39,239 --> 00:45:42,200
Speaker 1: I mean I'm sitting there and pacing. I'm like, you know,

881
00:45:42,360 --> 00:45:44,719
Speaker 1: it's one thing to have all your adrenaline before and

882
00:45:44,760 --> 00:45:46,640
Speaker 1: after a game when you're covering it, but when it's

883
00:45:46,680 --> 00:45:50,440
Speaker 1: in it and you have zero control over the outcome

884
00:45:50,520 --> 00:45:54,359
Speaker 1: and it's your whole life, it is so difficult. We're

885
00:45:54,440 --> 00:45:57,560
Speaker 1: at the owners meetings. They just had this amazing, amazing

886
00:45:57,800 --> 00:46:01,640
Speaker 1: panel UM with you know, some of the women who

887
00:46:01,640 --> 00:46:07,160
Speaker 1: are the founding mothers UM owners of UM the NFL,

888
00:46:07,360 --> 00:46:09,520
Speaker 1: and you've got the sense there. You're sitting there watching

889
00:46:09,560 --> 00:46:11,480
Speaker 1: it and you're like, wow, they showed their timeline and

890
00:46:11,480 --> 00:46:14,160
Speaker 1: you're like, I'm in the middle of this timeline when

891
00:46:14,200 --> 00:46:17,080
Speaker 1: you're just literally in it to win it and like

892
00:46:17,480 --> 00:46:20,040
Speaker 1: it as much as it's like the most painful thing

893
00:46:20,120 --> 00:46:22,600
Speaker 1: you can go through. You know, like this is the

894
00:46:22,640 --> 00:46:24,200
Speaker 1: time of your life you're going to look back on

895
00:46:24,760 --> 00:46:26,560
Speaker 1: and this is the time where you know and and

896
00:46:26,600 --> 00:46:28,719
Speaker 1: now when you start winning and you've been through the

897
00:46:28,800 --> 00:46:32,680
Speaker 1: lean years, gosh, it means so much. And you know,

898
00:46:32,760 --> 00:46:35,640
Speaker 1: when you've been through so many losses, you know, you

899
00:46:35,640 --> 00:46:37,880
Speaker 1: you really, you know, bond with the people you go

900
00:46:37,960 --> 00:46:40,080
Speaker 1: through this with and it'll be that way for the

901
00:46:40,080 --> 00:46:42,120
Speaker 1: rest of your life. So it's a it's a pretty

902
00:46:42,200 --> 00:46:44,719
Speaker 1: poignant thing. You better be taking notes for that book

903
00:46:44,719 --> 00:46:46,040
Speaker 1: you're going to write in a few years. You know,

904
00:46:46,080 --> 00:46:48,640
Speaker 1: I have a book in mind and and it's it's

905
00:46:48,680 --> 00:46:50,760
Speaker 1: it'll be, it'll be a good one. It's called Fathered

906
00:46:50,760 --> 00:46:54,080
Speaker 1: by Football and it's um, it's about all the coaches

907
00:46:54,120 --> 00:46:56,440
Speaker 1: and lesson grow up with a dad in his life

908
00:46:56,640 --> 00:47:00,160
Speaker 1: and really the football raised him and the code just

909
00:47:00,239 --> 00:47:03,120
Speaker 1: raised him. And when you go through all the different

910
00:47:03,160 --> 00:47:06,279
Speaker 1: coaches and you know what they taught him about being

911
00:47:06,320 --> 00:47:09,239
Speaker 1: a man and you know, living your life, well, like

912
00:47:09,760 --> 00:47:11,800
Speaker 1: that's what football can do. I mean, I know football

913
00:47:11,840 --> 00:47:15,359

968
00:50:24,160 --> 00:50:27,279
Speaker 1: she loves during her time is reading and she can

969
00:50:27,280 --> 00:50:29,440
Speaker 1: read a book. Really, there's about three a day she

970
00:50:29,480 --> 00:50:31,080
Speaker 1: can read that, so during the course of a week

971
00:50:31,120 --> 00:50:34,200
Speaker 1: it's twenty one books and makes me a lot smarter.

972
00:50:34,280 --> 00:50:37,759
Speaker 1: So that's probably what she does in her time. That's

973
00:50:37,800 --> 00:50:43,160
Speaker 1: her time. But no, that's no, it's it's it's very true.

975
00:50:45,719 --> 00:50:48,120
Speaker 1: what we talk about. How the things that I read

976
00:50:48,600 --> 00:50:52,040

979
00:50:58,040 --> 00:51:02,040

1025
00:53:32,800 --> 00:53:34,279
Speaker 1: don't know if Less would be in for it, but

1026
00:53:34,360 --> 00:53:36,319

Speaker 1: early in the morning it is, which speaks to us

1032
00:53:54,480 --> 00:53:57,799
Speaker 1: and that we're, you know, but amateur hour ultimately, but

1033

Speaker 1: know that kind of you know, helps you and backs

1064
00:55:40,760 --> 00:55:42,760
Speaker 1: you along the way, like youth coaches that you wouldn't

1065
00:55:42,800 --> 00:55:45,160
Speaker 1: know their names, but like I had a huge impact

1066
00:55:45,200 --> 00:55:47,200
Speaker 1: you know on me early on. Is it a competition

1067
00:55:47,320 --> 00:55:49,640
Speaker 1: to kind of get that, you know, the earliest possible interview,

1068
00:55:49,680 --> 00:55:51,719
Speaker 1: Because I saw Mike McCarthy on the way over here.

1069
00:55:51,800 --> 00:55:53,560
Speaker 1: He looked like he was already two or three interviews.

1070
00:55:53,760 --> 00:55:55,080
Speaker 1: He was ahead of you, and he was I did

1071
00:55:55,120 --> 00:55:57,480
Speaker 1: see him down here earlier. So I was disappointed that,

1072
00:55:57,960 --> 00:56:00,239
Speaker 1: you know, we weren't able to get the earliest lot,

1073
00:56:00,280 --> 00:56:02,560
Speaker 1: but uh no, it's just it's a cool week this week,

1074
00:56:02,600 --> 00:56:05,520
Speaker 1: and uh so having this experience and going through the

1075
00:56:05,520 --> 00:56:08,520
Speaker 1: whole thing, um, including the media this week, Um, it's

1076
00:56:08,520 --> 00:56:09,759
Speaker 1: all part of you might as well, you know, kick

1077
00:56:09,840 --> 00:56:11,880
Speaker 1: some of it out earlier. That is, this is the

1078
00:56:11,920 --> 00:56:14,719
Speaker 1: first we've done this podcast for five years. You've done

1079
00:56:14,760 --> 00:56:16,920
Speaker 1: like six fifty episodes. Is the first thing we've ever

1080
00:56:16,960 --> 00:56:20,359
Speaker 1: done before the sun came up. But that's like for us,

1081
00:56:20,400 --> 00:56:22,840
Speaker 1: it's like the biggest deal leather. We've been worried about

1082
00:56:22,840 --> 00:56:25,759
Speaker 1: this for days. But coaches life, this is, this is

1083
00:56:25,760 --> 00:56:28,000
Speaker 1: what it's about. Right, all you ever hear about is

1084
00:56:28,400 --> 00:56:31,120
Speaker 1: five am, I'm on the treadmill, six mn. This is

1085
00:56:31,160 --> 00:56:33,920
Speaker 1: a normal day for day. We clearly totally lack professionalism

1086
00:56:33,920 --> 00:56:37,680
Speaker 1: that we're making the entire idea about that. Um you

1087
00:56:37,719 --> 00:56:40,520
Speaker 1: know what like and sometimes you need those little windows

1088
00:56:40,520 --> 00:56:42,319
Speaker 1: and you guys know, like either whether it's working out

1089
00:56:42,400 --> 00:56:44,160
Speaker 1: or whatever it is, sometimes those little windows of a

1090
00:56:44,160 --> 00:56:46,759
Speaker 1: half hour or forty five minutes for like it's just

1091
00:56:46,840 --> 00:56:49,319
Speaker 1: your time. Uh, those are big ones because as a

1092
00:56:49,320 --> 00:56:51,480
Speaker 1: as a head coach. Uh, you know there's gonna be

1093
00:56:51,520 --> 00:56:53,279
Speaker 1: things that come, you know, across your desk You're like,

1094
00:56:53,280 --> 00:56:57,360
Speaker 1: where did that come from? So sometimes those early mornings, uh,

1095
00:56:57,520 --> 00:56:59,960
Speaker 1: you know they helped. We just talked about the Andy

1096
00:57:00,120 --> 00:57:02,960
Speaker 1: Read tree before we started here today. Who's someone if

1097
00:57:02,960 --> 00:57:05,360
Speaker 1: you get into a jam outside of your organization you

1098
00:57:05,360 --> 00:57:07,799
Speaker 1: gotta pick up the phone, call a coach who's been

1099
00:57:07,800 --> 00:57:10,120
Speaker 1: through it. Who's the who's the top of your of

1100
00:57:10,160 --> 00:57:13,239
Speaker 1: your dial list to help you out? Yeah? For me,

1101
00:57:13,320 --> 00:57:15,920
Speaker 1: that would be Pete Carroll, you know, And it was

1102
00:57:15,960 --> 00:57:19,000
Speaker 1: my time in Seattle that we just really connected. I

1103
00:57:19,000 --> 00:57:21,920
Speaker 1: had a blast coaching with him, but that was certainly

1104
00:57:21,960 --> 00:57:23,920
Speaker 1: you know through my first year. Uh, if there was

1105
00:57:23,920 --> 00:57:25,240
Speaker 1: stuff to come up, he would have been you know,

1106
00:57:25,280 --> 00:57:27,400
Speaker 1: the guy and would still be uh, somebody say, man,

1107
00:57:27,520 --> 00:57:30,320
Speaker 1: does this ever come up? And uh, you know those

1108
00:57:30,320 --> 00:57:32,160
Speaker 1: are the moments, you know, is he that willing to

1109
00:57:32,200 --> 00:57:38,080
Speaker 1: help the Falcons? For him? Oddly enough, just the connection

1110
00:57:38,120 --> 00:57:40,320
Speaker 1: for there is deeper. And I'm sure he's one of

1111
00:57:40,360 --> 00:57:42,400
Speaker 1: those guys that a lot of people you don't feel

1112
00:57:42,400 --> 00:57:44,480
Speaker 1: like they could call and and you know, if I

1113
00:57:44,520 --> 00:57:46,520
Speaker 1: got this situation, can we talk through it? And uh,

1114
00:57:46,760 --> 00:57:48,800
Speaker 1: I guess. The second guy is Mike Tomlin. He's somebody

1115
00:57:48,840 --> 00:57:50,760
Speaker 1: that you know, I've been connected for a long time.

1116
00:57:51,120 --> 00:57:54,520
Speaker 1: My first year coaching was Mike's senior year of playing,

1117
00:57:55,000 --> 00:57:59,320
Speaker 1: and then after that year we coached together the next season. Um,

1118
00:57:59,440 --> 00:58:02,440
Speaker 1: so we in friends for you know, twenty you know

1119
00:58:02,520 --> 00:58:04,680
Speaker 1: plus years and just a really cool guy. I like

1120
00:58:04,760 --> 00:58:06,520
Speaker 1: the idea of like the dark side of Pete Carl,

1121
00:58:06,560 --> 00:58:09,520
Speaker 1: who's this personable, upbeat guy, but you call him after

1122
00:58:09,560 --> 00:58:12,520
Speaker 1: taking the Seahawks job and he's like, lose this number

1123
00:58:12,600 --> 00:58:17,520
Speaker 1: year now the end. Uh Yeah, yeah, it was pretty

1124
00:58:17,520 --> 00:58:19,520
Speaker 1: cool about that, and uh, you know it certainly wasn't

1125
00:58:19,520 --> 00:58:22,800
Speaker 1: that way. And um, guys who you have long time

1126
00:58:22,920 --> 00:58:24,800
Speaker 1: you know connections with, you know it's past you know,

1127
00:58:24,840 --> 00:58:27,320
Speaker 1: one game now that week we're playing now, Like we

1128
00:58:27,360 --> 00:58:30,200
Speaker 1: ain't calling each other that week. So it just happens

1129
00:58:30,240 --> 00:58:32,720
Speaker 1: like this time of year. We don't share draft stuff

1130
00:58:32,720 --> 00:58:35,240
Speaker 1: for evaluations on players. But you know, getting back to

1131
00:58:35,280 --> 00:58:37,320
Speaker 1: if you had it, you know, something to come up. Uh,

1132
00:58:37,600 --> 00:58:39,800
Speaker 1: he'd be the guy. Him and Mike Tomin. You mentioned

1133
00:58:39,840 --> 00:58:41,720
Speaker 1: being a Giants fan growing up, and when I think

1134
00:58:41,720 --> 00:58:45,240
Speaker 1: of those teams, the first thing is defense. You started

1135
00:58:45,240 --> 00:58:49,400
Speaker 1: out two thousand sixteen, the best offense maybe in history,

1136
00:58:49,440 --> 00:58:52,520
Speaker 1: in modern history, just putting up crazy points. But then

1137
00:58:52,600 --> 00:58:53,920
Speaker 1: last year at the end of the year, you're a

1138
00:58:53,960 --> 00:58:57,000
Speaker 1: defense team. You're one of the fastest defenses in the league.

1139
00:58:57,360 --> 00:58:58,920
Speaker 1: Is that sort of the blueprint? You want to be

1140
00:58:58,960 --> 00:59:01,439
Speaker 1: a defense team. We just want to be a really

1141
00:59:01,440 --> 00:59:03,960
Speaker 1: good team. And uh, that's really where it comes down too.

1142
00:59:04,000 --> 00:59:05,240
Speaker 1: We don't want to be known to this is just

1143
00:59:05,280 --> 00:59:07,600
Speaker 1: an offensive club or a defensive club, but just one

1144
00:59:07,680 --> 00:59:11,120
Speaker 1: that really puts out kicks, ass battles for one another.

1145
00:59:11,200 --> 00:59:14,520
Speaker 1: And so, uh, we did add a number of guys defensively.

1146
00:59:14,560 --> 00:59:16,720
Speaker 1: So now I've always felt there can be like a

1147
00:59:16,720 --> 00:59:19,320
Speaker 1: big jump from a player from year one to year two,

1148
00:59:19,400 --> 00:59:21,600
Speaker 1: year two to year three, and we just so happened

1149
00:59:21,600 --> 00:59:23,240
Speaker 1: that we had a number of guys on the defensive

1150
00:59:23,280 --> 00:59:26,640
Speaker 1: side that we're probably in years three or four and under.

1151
00:59:26,840 --> 00:59:29,720
Speaker 1: And so that connection, that plan. There was definitely some

1152
00:59:29,800 --> 00:59:32,400
Speaker 1: on the job training for some of them in fifteen

1153
00:59:32,400 --> 00:59:36,240
Speaker 1: and sixteen. So now as seven team was coming through, um,

1154
00:59:36,280 --> 00:59:38,320
Speaker 1: they were ready to flip and you know, be the

1155
00:59:38,360 --> 00:59:40,760
Speaker 1: one that was the hammer instead of the nail, so

1156
00:59:40,840 --> 00:59:42,480
Speaker 1: to speak. So we're looking forward to a number of

1157
00:59:42,480 --> 00:59:45,760
Speaker 1: these guys making another jump. Again, just mentioned less mentioned

1158
00:59:46,000 --> 00:59:50,480
Speaker 1: the offense and how incredible it was, and seventeen Steve

1159
00:59:50,480 --> 00:59:55,960
Speaker 1: Sarkisian replaces Kyle Shanahan and offense not quite as explosive. Uh,

1160
00:59:56,000 --> 00:59:58,040
Speaker 1: my fantasy team, I waited from that Ryan to have

1161
00:59:58,560 --> 01:00:01,200
Speaker 1: statistical games and we got. You're you're not the first

1162
01:00:01,240 --> 01:00:03,880
Speaker 1: one to hear about this fantasy team. Really upset about

1163
01:00:03,920 --> 01:00:07,000
Speaker 1: Matt runs fantasy season last year. But my my point

1164
01:00:07,080 --> 01:00:10,040
Speaker 1: is there was criticism round the offense. It was it

1165
01:00:10,120 --> 01:00:12,919
Speaker 1: always to you it was gonna take time to get

1166
01:00:12,960 --> 01:00:15,640
Speaker 1: maybe back to where you were in twenty sixteen. Well,

1167
01:00:15,680 --> 01:00:18,360
Speaker 1: I never, you know, had expectations. Okay, we can surpass

1168
01:00:18,440 --> 01:00:21,000
Speaker 1: what we were. Um. The things that I was pleased

1169
01:00:21,040 --> 01:00:23,640
Speaker 1: with we were better on third down. Um, you know,

1170
01:00:23,880 --> 01:00:26,400
Speaker 1: the things that we weren't was scoring and uh, we've

1171
01:00:26,440 --> 01:00:28,600
Speaker 1: always had really good balance. That's really important to me.

1172
01:00:29,320 --> 01:00:31,360
Speaker 1: The run game, the play action, the keepers that goes

1173
01:00:31,400 --> 01:00:33,800
Speaker 1: with it. I would say probably the biggest disappointment we

1174
01:00:33,840 --> 01:00:35,840
Speaker 1: had was our turnover margin. One of the reasons I

1175
01:00:35,840 --> 01:00:38,480
Speaker 1: like that as a stat Uh, it's a team status,

1176
01:00:38,520 --> 01:00:40,680
Speaker 1: not just you know, the offense turned the ball over,

1177
01:00:40,680 --> 01:00:42,440
Speaker 1: but it's also that to get in the plus and

1178
01:00:42,480 --> 01:00:45,680
Speaker 1: a turnover margin, you've got to create takeaway. So um,

1179
01:00:45,720 --> 01:00:47,440
Speaker 1: we've had a number of good explosive plays, but our

1180
01:00:47,440 --> 01:00:49,520
Speaker 1: scoring was down. And as you go through the off

1181
01:00:49,560 --> 01:00:52,000
Speaker 1: season to audit, you know, okay, what do we need

1182
01:00:52,040 --> 01:00:54,480
Speaker 1: to tweet so to speak as we're going through it.

1183
01:00:54,520 --> 01:00:55,800
Speaker 1: And that was a good part and fum part of

1184
01:00:55,800 --> 01:00:58,640
Speaker 1: this offseason. But we've got some really explosive guys, uh,

1185
01:00:58,680 --> 01:01:01,240
Speaker 1: you know, certainly led by Matt Uh. He is a

1186
01:01:01,320 --> 01:01:04,320
Speaker 1: real competitor of the guys, a straight wolf and cheap's clothing,

1187
01:01:04,360 --> 01:01:06,439
Speaker 1: you know, like he loves the battle, love to fight.

1188
01:01:06,480 --> 01:01:09,600
Speaker 1: So oh here we got parabolic Mike. Sometimes that Matt

1189
01:01:09,640 --> 01:01:12,680
Speaker 1: Ryan is the intense competitor. Al right, Well he motivated

1190
01:01:12,720 --> 01:01:14,200
Speaker 1: something too. I didn't know there was a Mike. What's

1191
01:01:14,240 --> 01:01:16,880
Speaker 1: it called parabolic Mike. Yeah, that's new for me too.

1192
01:01:17,240 --> 01:01:20,040
Speaker 1: Yeah he uh yeah, he is uh yeah. If that

1193
01:01:20,120 --> 01:01:23,760
Speaker 1: Mike really said everything, it would be definitely a show.

1194
01:01:23,880 --> 01:01:26,160
Speaker 1: And tell him that it's cool. I mean, and they're cool,

1195
01:01:26,240 --> 01:01:28,840
Speaker 1: We're cool. It's just just that be a motivator. To

1196
01:01:28,840 --> 01:01:31,640
Speaker 1: find out that the Dance Fantasy results were not up

1197
01:01:31,640 --> 01:01:35,920
Speaker 1: to part uh, I'll bring it up in the belly. Man,

1198
01:01:36,280 --> 01:01:38,760
Speaker 1: is it possible to overpay for a franchise quarterback in

1199
01:01:38,760 --> 01:01:44,880
Speaker 1: the NFL? It seemed like, uh, you know at that spot. Um,

1200
01:01:44,880 --> 01:01:48,600
Speaker 1: it's almost like a whole another you know, cap is needed,

1201
01:01:48,640 --> 01:01:51,880
Speaker 1: you know for quarterbacks because they're so unique in what

1202
01:01:51,920 --> 01:01:54,720
Speaker 1: they do, and when you have when you know how

1203
01:01:54,760 --> 01:01:56,440
Speaker 1: fortunate you are and know that for us to have

1204
01:01:56,480 --> 01:01:58,400
Speaker 1: a guy like Matt who not only is a really

1205
01:01:58,480 --> 01:02:00,680
Speaker 1: good player, but like what a kick as competitor or

1206
01:02:00,720 --> 01:02:03,000
Speaker 1: the right guy in the locker room. So, uh, we're

1207
01:02:03,040 --> 01:02:05,640
Speaker 1: fortunate that he's right in the middle of it. And uh,

1208
01:02:05,680 --> 01:02:08,120
Speaker 1: you know the league, you know, in terms of the structure,

1209
01:02:08,120 --> 01:02:09,520
Speaker 1: the way the cap set up to have you know,

1210
01:02:09,520 --> 01:02:11,920
Speaker 1: opportunities not only to have him, but guys you know,

1211
01:02:12,240 --> 01:02:13,960
Speaker 1: to bring along with them. Um, I think they got

1212
01:02:14,040 --> 01:02:16,240
Speaker 1: to set up in the right way. You're known, you

1213
01:02:16,280 --> 01:02:19,760
Speaker 1: know for somewhat your your hip hop playlists before the game,

1214
01:02:19,760 --> 01:02:22,200
Speaker 1: which is almost it's a little kind of setting. It's like, Wow, hey,

1215
01:02:22,200 --> 01:02:24,520
Speaker 1: a head coach actually knows hip hop. It's like, you

1216
01:02:24,520 --> 01:02:27,000
Speaker 1: know that this music isn't necessarily all that new. It's

1217
01:02:27,040 --> 01:02:29,240
Speaker 1: like Tupac and Biggie you put up, But what does

1218
01:02:29,320 --> 01:02:31,480
Speaker 1: it mean definitely putting my age into it, you know,

1219
01:02:31,560 --> 01:02:34,720
Speaker 1: my wheelhouse where I'm at. But do you you kind

1220
01:02:34,720 --> 01:02:36,960
Speaker 1: of you you reside kind of in the epicenter right

1221
01:02:37,040 --> 01:02:40,160
Speaker 1: now of of hip hop and in America, So like

1222
01:02:40,320 --> 01:02:42,360
Speaker 1: is that is that important to you? Are going You're

1223
01:02:42,360 --> 01:02:45,440
Speaker 1: you're going to like use like Meghos or Gucci going up.

1224
01:02:45,800 --> 01:02:48,200
Speaker 1: We do um, And it was really cool, like even

1225
01:02:48,320 --> 01:02:50,120
Speaker 1: you know, with the super Bowl being in Atlanta this year.

1226
01:02:50,160 --> 01:02:52,280
Speaker 1: I think it was Bruno Mars who had said was

1227
01:02:52,360 --> 01:02:54,000
Speaker 1: Brunal Marts who had said, you know, I hope they

1228
01:02:54,000 --> 01:02:56,440
Speaker 1: do something, you know regarding you know, all the artists

1229
01:02:56,720 --> 01:02:59,640
Speaker 1: that are from Atlanta and uh, not just hip hop

1230
01:02:59,800 --> 01:03:02,600
Speaker 1: you but like Zach Brown is a huge Falcons fan,

1231
01:03:02,680 --> 01:03:05,520
Speaker 1: so like you know, like where we're at, Like obviously

1232
01:03:05,520 --> 01:03:07,680
Speaker 1: the hip hop world is big, and like it's really

1233
01:03:07,680 --> 01:03:10,120
Speaker 1: cool how it started in Atlanta, you know, like from

1234
01:03:10,200 --> 01:03:12,360
Speaker 1: the club scene to how the music you know come through,

1235
01:03:12,440 --> 01:03:15,240
Speaker 1: so um, it is pretty cool. Like living in Atlanta.

1236
01:03:15,240 --> 01:03:17,280
Speaker 1: It's a cool spot. Like football in our state is

1237
01:03:17,320 --> 01:03:21,840
Speaker 1: really important and so high school ball, college ball, pro ball, uh,

1238
01:03:21,880 --> 01:03:23,640
Speaker 1: and then the music scene there it's a it's a

1239
01:03:23,640 --> 01:03:25,960
Speaker 1: pretty lit space like to live it's cool like Mike

1240
01:03:26,040 --> 01:03:28,840
Speaker 1: Vick got a cameo in Atlanta. I feel like you

1241
01:03:28,840 --> 01:03:31,400
Speaker 1: could work on that. You know what, Um, I wish

1242
01:03:31,440 --> 01:03:33,400
Speaker 1: i'd had it, you know, just a little shot at something.

1243
01:03:33,440 --> 01:03:36,280
Speaker 1: You know that was Mangini was in the Sopranos. You

1244
01:03:36,280 --> 01:03:41,440
Speaker 1: know that's a good you know the man? All right?

1250
01:03:57,480 --> 01:04:02,560
Speaker 1: up to when it's time for a little meta? I'd

1251
01:04:02,600 --> 01:04:06,280
Speaker 1: have to stay at least enjoyable. Hey, your dues task.

1252
01:04:06,360 --> 01:04:10,120
Speaker 1: As a young coach of the I would say it

1253
01:04:10,160 --> 01:04:12,680
Speaker 1: wasn't in the league, but my second year coaching I

1254
01:04:12,840 --> 01:04:15,000
Speaker 1: was at Virginia Mills staring Stead, and back then you

1255
01:04:15,040 --> 01:04:17,840
Speaker 1: had to bring up film to the airport. So driving

1256
01:04:17,880 --> 01:04:23,320

1261
01:04:33,960 --> 01:04:35,760
Speaker 1: you are with us, it looks back. I would have

1262
01:04:35,760 --> 01:04:37,200
Speaker 1: to say it might not have been the NFL part,

1263
01:04:37,320 --> 01:04:41,240
Speaker 1: but the best stadium in the NFL pside drum besides

1264
01:04:41,280 --> 01:04:44,120
Speaker 1: Mercedes fans. For me, it's always been fun, you know,

1265
01:04:44,200 --> 01:04:48,360
Speaker 1: going back home on the dast necessay because of family,

1266
01:04:48,480 --> 01:04:51,600
Speaker 1: friends and rolling up through New Jersey. And that's kind

1267
01:04:51,600 --> 01:04:55,840
Speaker 1: of like we line love the Passion obviously from Nostalgias

1268
01:04:55,920 --> 01:04:58,280
Speaker 1: Gampoint and I'm like the metal speaking of the metal

1269
01:04:58,400 --> 01:05:01,920
Speaker 1: ends best Springsteen so mm hmm, that's a cool one.

1270
01:05:01,960 --> 01:05:04,560
Speaker 1: I saw him for the first time last year and

1271
01:05:05,360 --> 01:05:11,080
Speaker 1: now instead springs of concerts, I would blown away like

1272
01:05:12,080 --> 01:05:15,120
Speaker 1: this is like lit from like the time one show

1273
01:05:15,240 --> 01:05:17,400

1274
01:05:18,000 --> 01:05:20,520
Speaker 1: well dude three and right back to it again. So

1275
01:05:20,840 --> 01:05:25,360
Speaker 1: no filibuster ring though, what is the best Springstein song? Um? Well,

1276
01:05:25,360 --> 01:05:27,000
Speaker 1: you're also going to dave me back like which is

1277
01:05:27,040 --> 01:05:33,320
Speaker 1: the best video? I mean thunder Road Classic there you

1278
01:05:33,560 --> 01:05:37,360
Speaker 1: can't argue with that, dan Quinn, you survived the Crucible,

1279
01:05:37,440 --> 01:05:41,479
Speaker 1: that is six thirty Delight. Well, the six thirty delight,

1280
01:05:41,520 --> 01:05:43,160
Speaker 1: Let's see if somebody can top it. But yeah, it

1281
01:05:43,200 --> 01:05:44,720
Speaker 1: really cool to be on with you guys. Thanks d

1282
01:05:44,960 --> 01:05:48,320
Speaker 1: best of luck to you into thousand, all right, thanks guys.

1283
01:05:48,760 --> 01:05:52,000
Speaker 1: Thunder Road is an excellent Bruce Springsteen song. The definitive

1284
01:05:52,040 --> 01:05:56,680
Speaker 1: Springstein song is Born to Run. Obviously I would go West,

1285
01:05:56,680 --> 01:05:58,840
Speaker 1: and I know you're a Springsteen fan as well as

1286
01:05:58,960 --> 01:06:03,360
Speaker 1: most white men sportswriters are in their thirties, forties and fifties,

1287
01:06:03,400 --> 01:06:06,800
Speaker 1: but Jungle Road would probably my favorite. Bruso. Jungle Road

1288
01:06:06,840 --> 01:06:09,000
Speaker 1: is in the top ten. I think of any great

1289
01:06:09,480 --> 01:06:12,400
Speaker 1: Springsteen file, you gotta you gotta have Jungle Road in there.

1290
01:06:12,480 --> 01:06:14,360
Speaker 1: Do you have a lot of more more road songs?

1291
01:06:14,520 --> 01:06:19,800
Speaker 1: It's just jungle and he wrote about cars, cars and

1292
01:06:19,840 --> 01:06:25,720
Speaker 1: girls and factories. Closing that that basically makes a um

1293
01:06:25,760 --> 01:06:29,040
Speaker 1: any other takeaways from dan Quinn West and I when

1294
01:06:29,080 --> 01:06:32,000
Speaker 1: we covered these Seahawks two years in a row in

1295
01:06:32,040 --> 01:06:35,040
Speaker 1: the Super Bowl, really fell for dan Quinn. I mean,

1296
01:06:35,080 --> 01:06:37,840
Speaker 1: anyone that listened to those podcasts back then we're probably

1297
01:06:37,880 --> 01:06:40,080
Speaker 1: found us quite annoying and how much we like Dan Queenn.

1298
01:06:40,080 --> 01:06:42,040
Speaker 1: But we promised to have beers with him or wanted

1299
01:06:42,040 --> 01:06:45,240
Speaker 1: to that did not happen during this interview. But I

1300
01:06:45,240 --> 01:06:48,760
Speaker 1: don't hear you guys even ask We didn't even ask.

1301
01:06:48,920 --> 01:06:50,960
Speaker 1: We it was six thirty in the morning. I was

1302
01:06:51,000 --> 01:06:52,120
Speaker 1: not really in the mood for a beer, to be

1303
01:06:52,200 --> 01:06:55,480
Speaker 1: honest with you. But he was a delightful conversationalist. Well,

1304
01:06:55,520 --> 01:06:58,120
Speaker 1: you can see when just his energy and I think

1305
01:06:58,160 --> 01:07:00,680
Speaker 1: this is true. Of this is true. The media believes this,

1306
01:07:00,800 --> 01:07:03,120
Speaker 1: Other coaches believe it's just like they like being around

1307
01:07:03,160 --> 01:07:04,919
Speaker 1: and Dan Quinn because of his energy. You can see

1308
01:07:04,920 --> 01:07:07,200
Speaker 1: when he gets into an interview, for instance with the Falcons,

1309
01:07:07,200 --> 01:07:09,240
Speaker 1: that you're like, I just gotta give him my team

1310
01:07:09,280 --> 01:07:10,960
Speaker 1: to this guy, I did want to ask him and

1311
01:07:11,000 --> 01:07:13,320
Speaker 1: because you know, these things go buy quick. But he

1312
01:07:13,480 --> 01:07:17,920
Speaker 1: was a he was a record setting hammer thrower at

1313
01:07:17,920 --> 01:07:20,280
Speaker 1: the collegiate level. Looks like I just wanted to know

1314
01:07:20,320 --> 01:07:22,440
Speaker 1: if that if that skill set still paid off in

1315
01:07:22,480 --> 01:07:24,600
Speaker 1: any way, A missed opportunity. Now that he's out of

1316
01:07:24,600 --> 01:07:27,320
Speaker 1: the room, well these interviews, you know, suddenly it's like bang,

1317
01:07:27,320 --> 01:07:30,040
Speaker 1: we're out. He's leaving, so you know, all right, moving on.

1318
01:07:30,360 --> 01:07:33,640
Speaker 1: So thank you to Dan for joining us. A Super

1319
01:07:33,640 --> 01:07:38,960
Speaker 1: Bowl winning coach for the Baltimore Ravens, John Harbaugh. We

1320
01:07:38,960 --> 01:07:40,800
Speaker 1: we had a lot to talk about with John, who

1321
01:07:41,360 --> 01:07:45,120
Speaker 1: the only guy that rolled in no entourage at all,

1322
01:07:45,880 --> 01:07:48,240
Speaker 1: which I thought was kind of super confident in just

1323
01:07:48,320 --> 01:07:54,080
Speaker 1: coming in on his own, not scared of us, Like sure, sure,

1324
01:07:54,160 --> 01:08:00,400
Speaker 1: why not? Uh, let's throw it to John Harbor right now.

1325
01:08:00,520 --> 01:08:03,600
Speaker 1: Just got serious in room one oh five, sweet one

1326
01:08:03,600 --> 01:08:07,040
Speaker 1: oh five, because we have a Super Bowl winning head coach.

1327
01:08:07,480 --> 01:08:11,200
Speaker 1: He is John Harbaugh of the Baltimore Ravens. This is

1328
01:08:11,200 --> 01:08:15,040
Speaker 1: his introduction music. John requested, it is that like a

1329
01:08:15,120 --> 01:08:17,760
Speaker 1: drum roll? What is that? Nice little E D M hit? Yeah,

1330
01:08:17,760 --> 01:08:20,000
Speaker 1: a little electronic music, a little dance music. Here in

1331
01:08:20,040 --> 01:08:23,439
Speaker 1: your younger years, prey family, did you ever have like

1332
01:08:23,479 --> 01:08:27,799
Speaker 1: a club period? The club? No, we were never allowed

1333
01:08:27,840 --> 01:08:29,400
Speaker 1: in clubs. The hardballs. It seems like we have a

1334
01:08:29,439 --> 01:08:34,040
Speaker 1: band from everything everywhere we were ever at fault of

1335
01:08:34,120 --> 01:08:36,600
Speaker 1: course out of friends. You know, you can come, but

1336
01:08:36,640 --> 01:08:39,599
Speaker 1: don't bring your brother. You're a veteran at these owners

1337
01:08:39,600 --> 01:08:41,400
Speaker 1: owners meetings. You kind of have the strategy that you

1338
01:08:41,479 --> 01:08:43,680
Speaker 1: came in as late as possible. Is that because you've

1339
01:08:43,880 --> 01:08:46,240
Speaker 1: done so many at this point, probably, Yeah, come lately

1340
01:08:46,280 --> 01:08:49,479
Speaker 1: early and you know, and keep a little profile. Don't

1341
01:08:49,520 --> 01:08:53,800
Speaker 1: be seen. How how do you guys find me? They

1342
01:08:53,800 --> 01:08:56,120
Speaker 1: have the tentacles with the shield on our side. That's

1343
01:08:56,120 --> 01:08:58,439
Speaker 1: how we tracked down John. I mean, it's an interesting

1344
01:08:58,520 --> 01:09:01,639
Speaker 1: time for the Baltimore Rave is right. I mean, three

1345
01:09:01,720 --> 01:09:04,759
Speaker 1: years without the playoffs, we've been We've gotten used to

1346
01:09:05,080 --> 01:09:07,120
Speaker 1: the Ravens always being in the mix, and it is

1347
01:09:07,160 --> 01:09:09,680
Speaker 1: there in the organization and for you just like that

1348
01:09:09,800 --> 01:09:13,160
Speaker 1: sets of pressure as we had intoen to to end

1349
01:09:13,640 --> 01:09:16,080
Speaker 1: that dry spell. Well yeah, I mean you don't we

1350
01:09:16,400 --> 01:09:17,880
Speaker 1: I mean, you want to make the playoffs. We want

1351
01:09:17,880 --> 01:09:19,800
Speaker 1: to be relevant. You know. We're not too happy with

1352
01:09:19,840 --> 01:09:21,400
Speaker 1: the fact that we're not in there, you know, and

1353
01:09:22,000 --> 01:09:23,360
Speaker 1: I thought we were in there last year, you know,

1354
01:09:23,400 --> 01:09:25,280
Speaker 1: and obviously you get you get your heartbroken. This is

1355
01:09:25,320 --> 01:09:27,719
Speaker 1: a this is a great thing about about the NFL,

1356
01:09:27,720 --> 01:09:30,680
Speaker 1: about sports. It's drama, you know, and you never know

1357
01:09:30,720 --> 01:09:32,880
Speaker 1: what's gonna happen next, and ain't crazy thing can happen.

1358
01:09:32,920 --> 01:09:35,120
Speaker 1: And I think that's why it's uh, you know, people

1359
01:09:35,120 --> 01:09:37,000
Speaker 1: watch it, but you know it can be it can

1360
01:09:37,040 --> 01:09:39,559
Speaker 1: be the incredible happy joy high. I was at the

1361
01:09:39,560 --> 01:09:41,720
Speaker 1: Super Bowl. I was rooting for the Eagles. You know,

1362
01:09:41,760 --> 01:09:44,320
Speaker 1: I coached there for ten years and pretty much know,

1363
01:09:44,400 --> 01:09:47,200
Speaker 1: everybody in the organization, and man I was I felt

1364
01:09:47,200 --> 01:09:48,559
Speaker 1: like I was as happy as they were, you know,

1365
01:09:48,560 --> 01:09:51,000
Speaker 1: you get that, not not quite not as quite as

1366
01:09:50,960 --> 01:09:53,880
Speaker 1: happy as I wasn't twelve, but but happy, you know.

1367
01:09:53,960 --> 01:09:55,840
Speaker 1: And then you have you know, like us, and we

1368
01:09:55,880 --> 01:09:57,599
Speaker 1: fought our way and clawed our way back into the

1369
01:09:57,600 --> 01:09:59,840
Speaker 1: thing this year, and then we got knocked out right there.

1370
01:09:59,840 --> 01:10:02,760
Speaker 1: And and you're referring to the week seventeen lost to Cincinnati,

1371
01:10:02,920 --> 01:10:07,720
Speaker 1: and is it extra annoying? Obviously a painful loss, but

1372
01:10:07,800 --> 01:10:10,200
Speaker 1: then and not not that the Bills are doing anything wrong,

1373
01:10:10,240 --> 01:10:13,200
Speaker 1: but then that becoming the big news story that following

1374
01:10:13,280 --> 01:10:16,760
Speaker 1: that the next couple of days, them celebrating after the

1375
01:10:16,840 --> 01:10:19,920
Speaker 1: Andy Dalton touchdown. That probably was unnecessary at that point.

1376
01:10:20,080 --> 01:10:21,759
Speaker 1: Well it probably would have been if I had watched

1377
01:10:21,760 --> 01:10:23,519
Speaker 1: it paid attention to it, but I made a point

1378
01:10:23,520 --> 01:10:25,400
Speaker 1: not to. You know, I kind of shouted, you know,

1379
01:10:25,400 --> 01:10:28,080
Speaker 1: close the doors, pulled the blinds down, and didn't read

1380
01:10:28,080 --> 01:10:30,240
Speaker 1: it or listen to anything for a while. You men

1381
01:10:30,400 --> 01:10:36,559
Speaker 1: started it, they were happy, you know, the city deserved it.

1382
01:10:37,760 --> 01:10:40,799
Speaker 1: You mentioned you were in Philadelphia and you were enjoying

1383
01:10:40,840 --> 01:10:43,599
Speaker 1: that game, you know, considering your time with Andy Reid.

1384
01:10:43,640 --> 01:10:47,080
Speaker 1: We talked to you know, Andy earlier, like what what

1385
01:10:47,200 --> 01:10:50,000
Speaker 1: kind of influenced even just seeing like that Eagles when

1386
01:10:50,000 --> 01:10:51,680
Speaker 1: do you think he sort of had a part in

1387
01:10:51,720 --> 01:10:53,800
Speaker 1: that Eagles win and just the influence kind of that

1388
01:10:53,880 --> 01:10:57,080
Speaker 1: he's had throughout the league, the godfather, I do, Yeah,

1389
01:10:57,120 --> 01:10:59,240
Speaker 1: he is, and yeah, I do feel that way. I

1390
01:10:59,240 --> 01:11:01,080
Speaker 1: mean I feel like, uh, I kind of feel like

1391
01:11:01,120 --> 01:11:03,200
Speaker 1: the Eagles are are kind of back to the roots now.

1392
01:11:03,240 --> 01:11:06,600
Speaker 1: You know, um Andy's first year, you know, Doug was

1393
01:11:06,640 --> 01:11:09,960
Speaker 1: the quarter backup quarterback, he was my holder, and uh,

1394
01:11:10,000 --> 01:11:12,160
Speaker 1: you know, all the coaches that were there, and I

1395
01:11:12,200 --> 01:11:14,880
Speaker 1: think there's I just feel like, you know, with Jeffrey

1396
01:11:14,920 --> 01:11:17,800
Speaker 1: and how he's been there forever, and I just feel

1397
01:11:17,840 --> 01:11:19,360
Speaker 1: like it's kind of the way the Eagles are supposed

1398
01:11:19,400 --> 01:11:21,720
Speaker 1: to be and to see them have that success and

1399
01:11:21,760 --> 01:11:23,479
Speaker 1: to have a kind of flow back around through Andy

1400
01:11:23,720 --> 01:11:25,720
Speaker 1: is very appropriate for you guys to notice that. I

1401
01:11:25,720 --> 01:11:27,360
Speaker 1: mean all of us who are part of that, I know,

1402
01:11:27,479 --> 01:11:29,120
Speaker 1: we feel that way. You know, so you feel like,

1403
01:11:29,160 --> 01:11:30,640
Speaker 1: you know, you wanna have a little stake in it.

1404
01:11:30,680 --> 01:11:32,880
Speaker 1: Probably maybe they don't feel that way, but I think

1405
01:11:32,920 --> 01:11:35,280
Speaker 1: they do. I think that uh it do really and

1406
01:11:35,439 --> 01:11:37,559
Speaker 1: really if you're honest about it. It It goes back to Jeffrey.

1407
01:11:37,600 --> 01:11:40,200
Speaker 1: I mean, jeff Lory is the owner, he's the leader,

1408
01:11:40,640 --> 01:11:43,840
Speaker 1: and uh, he's built that, you know, and uh and uh,

1409
01:11:43,840 --> 01:11:45,920
Speaker 1: it's it's pretty pretty awesome to see it all come

1410
01:11:45,960 --> 01:11:47,640
Speaker 1: together for him this year. Something I've always wanted to

1411
01:11:47,640 --> 01:11:49,080
Speaker 1: ask you because we were at the Super Bowl. You

1412
01:11:49,160 --> 01:11:52,720
Speaker 1: one incredible game, but when the lights went out, well,

1413
01:11:52,800 --> 01:11:55,000
Speaker 1: yes it was my job as his, But when the

1414
01:11:55,080 --> 01:11:56,760
Speaker 1: lights went out, what was the first thing that went

1415
01:11:56,800 --> 01:11:58,960
Speaker 1: through your mind? I remember my wife was down in

1416
01:11:59,000 --> 01:12:01,080
Speaker 1: the stands, and I'm thinking, what on earth is happening

1417
01:12:01,120 --> 01:12:03,920
Speaker 1: in this building? Did you have more knowledge that that

1418
01:12:03,960 --> 01:12:06,320
Speaker 1: could happen? I mean, well, I heard the story. I

1419
01:12:06,360 --> 01:12:08,439
Speaker 1: heard the story. I had the story the next morning

1420
01:12:08,479 --> 01:12:11,519
Speaker 1: that they talked about some switch, some switching station outside

1421
01:12:11,520 --> 01:12:16,200
Speaker 1: the stadium. You know, I was a little skeptical. Uh,

1422
01:12:16,240 --> 01:12:19,840
Speaker 1: he's on records saying it's a conspiracy designed to let

1423
01:12:19,840 --> 01:12:21,479
Speaker 1: San Francis go back and get back in that game.

1424
01:12:21,680 --> 01:12:23,800
Speaker 1: I I, you know, I I My first thought was

1425
01:12:23,840 --> 01:12:25,680
Speaker 1: like maybe it was like some kind of attack. You

1426
01:12:25,720 --> 01:12:27,240
Speaker 1: know that you first thought, you know, and I didn't.

1427
01:12:27,280 --> 01:12:28,400
Speaker 1: I don't know that I thought of that some of

1428
01:12:28,520 --> 01:12:29,920
Speaker 1: my said that to me, you know, and I'm like,

1429
01:12:29,920 --> 01:12:33,000
Speaker 1: oh man, you know we're kind of exposed out here,

1430
01:12:33,800 --> 01:12:37,800
Speaker 1: but uh, not really you really in just being straight up,

1431
01:12:37,920 --> 01:12:40,719
Speaker 1: you really, it's just kind of like another thing, another obstacle.

1432
01:12:40,720 --> 01:12:43,200
Speaker 1: I mean, yeah, it's crazy. What the heck is going on?

1433
01:12:43,320 --> 01:12:46,000
Speaker 1: This has never happened before. This is ridiculous. It's not

1434
01:12:46,080 --> 01:12:47,960
Speaker 1: really what you think about. What you really think about,

1435
01:12:48,360 --> 01:12:49,920
Speaker 1: and that as a head coach is how are we

1436
01:12:50,000 --> 01:12:51,680
Speaker 1: gonna deal with this? You know, how We're gonna have

1437
01:12:51,680 --> 01:12:54,519
Speaker 1: our guys ready. Unfortunately, we didn't do a very good job,

1438
01:12:54,600 --> 01:12:56,320
Speaker 1: you know, because we were up to six and they

1439
01:12:56,320 --> 01:12:59,240
Speaker 1: came rolling back. Um, you know, they got their guys

1440
01:12:59,280 --> 01:13:01,120
Speaker 1: more ready. You know, we were. I was over there

1441
01:13:01,160 --> 01:13:03,120
Speaker 1: in the sideline and towards the end of the whole deal,

1442
01:13:03,160 --> 01:13:04,519
Speaker 1: they were trying to tell me that my coaches weren't

1443
01:13:04,520 --> 01:13:05,719
Speaker 1: gonna be able to go back up to the press

1444
01:13:05,760 --> 01:13:07,920
Speaker 1: box or something. You know, I'm like, well, you know,

1445
01:13:08,200 --> 01:13:10,200
Speaker 1: it's like I'm telling you how it's gonna go here.

1446
01:13:10,200 --> 01:13:11,720
Speaker 1: You know, we're gonna play when we're ready to play,

1447
01:13:11,760 --> 01:13:13,679
Speaker 1: and it's not gonna before coaches in the press box

1448
01:13:13,920 --> 01:13:15,400
Speaker 1: and there's nothing you're gonna do about we gonna do,

1449
01:13:15,680 --> 01:13:19,040
Speaker 1: you know, throw the flag? You got anybody gotta go,

1450
01:13:19,200 --> 01:13:21,280
Speaker 1: you gotta called the game. I don't think so, you know,

1451
01:13:21,640 --> 01:13:23,040
Speaker 1: so that was kind of I gotta yelled at the

1452
01:13:23,080 --> 01:13:25,439
Speaker 1: one guy, Mike. Mike Cancel, by the way, he was

1453
01:13:25,479 --> 01:13:27,960
Speaker 1: became a local legend in New York City, right everybody

1454
01:13:27,960 --> 01:13:29,559
Speaker 1: knows and he says he goes to the seven eleven.

1455
01:13:29,600 --> 01:13:32,280
Speaker 1: So we laugh about that now, But it was crazy.

1456
01:13:32,320 --> 01:13:33,719
Speaker 1: Then I look out there and I see my brothers

1457
01:13:33,760 --> 01:13:36,160
Speaker 1: in the huddle with Cap calling to play. You know,

1458
01:13:36,200 --> 01:13:38,200
Speaker 1: It's like, I don't think he's allowed to be out

1459
01:13:38,200 --> 01:13:40,639
Speaker 1: there on the field right now. You know, it doesn't

1460
01:13:40,680 --> 01:13:43,240
Speaker 1: surprise me that he's out there. But but it was.

1461
01:13:43,320 --> 01:13:44,800
Speaker 1: It's just pretty cool the way the whole thing. You

1462
01:13:44,800 --> 01:13:46,760
Speaker 1: look back on it now and I think even Jim

1463
01:13:46,800 --> 01:13:48,679
Speaker 1: feels that way. You know, it was a pretty amazing deal.

1464
01:13:49,000 --> 01:13:51,360
Speaker 1: Did you ever get like a you know, one of

1465
01:13:51,360 --> 01:13:53,880
Speaker 1: the guys that came back, helped the forty niners come

1466
01:13:53,920 --> 01:13:56,600
Speaker 1: back in the game, Michael Crabtree now playing for you, Like,

1467
01:13:56,640 --> 01:13:59,160
Speaker 1: what kind of like special intel do you get from

1468
01:13:59,160 --> 01:14:01,600
Speaker 1: your brother when you're posibly signing one of his He

1469
01:14:01,680 --> 01:14:03,559
Speaker 1: told me to sign him. Man, he loved him. Yeah,

1470
01:14:03,560 --> 01:14:04,960
Speaker 1: I talked to Jim and Bohm. He's like, he's like

1471
01:14:05,040 --> 01:14:07,200
Speaker 1: Crab as a man. You know, he's tough, he's rough,

1472
01:14:07,320 --> 01:14:09,800
Speaker 1: he's he's hard. Nos. You know you want to scare

1473
01:14:09,840 --> 01:14:12,000
Speaker 1: on your team. He loves Crab. He wants to claimed

1474
01:14:12,000 --> 01:14:14,519
Speaker 1: the Crabtree has the best hands ever. Yeah. Yeah, well

1475
01:14:14,520 --> 01:14:15,840
Speaker 1: I'm all for it, man, And we need you guys

1476
01:14:15,840 --> 01:14:18,320
Speaker 1: that can catch. I mean, you know that's last time

1477
01:14:18,360 --> 01:14:21,519
Speaker 1: I checked. Isn't that the main like trait a wide receiver?

1478
01:14:24,280 --> 01:14:27,040
Speaker 1: You are steeped in special teams knowledge, so you can

1479
01:14:27,040 --> 01:14:30,080
Speaker 1: speak with authority on this subject. Has anyone ever had

1480
01:14:30,080 --> 01:14:32,640
Speaker 1: a better two year kicking window than Justin Tucker? And

1481
01:14:33,120 --> 01:14:35,599
Speaker 1: just no nobody ever has? You know, funny thing about

1482
01:14:35,600 --> 01:14:37,280
Speaker 1: Justin it's not just the stats. And you know I

1483
01:14:37,320 --> 01:14:40,599
Speaker 1: had a great kicker, we Andy David Acres. Okay, so

1484
01:14:40,960 --> 01:14:43,000
Speaker 1: one time I thought David Acres was a machine and

1485
01:14:43,040 --> 01:14:45,719
Speaker 1: he was and Tuck and it comes to our training

1486
01:14:45,760 --> 01:14:48,000
Speaker 1: camp and he actually works with Tuck sometimes and he's

1487
01:14:48,080 --> 01:14:50,720
Speaker 1: he's amazed by bye bye talk. You know, it's not

1488
01:14:50,800 --> 01:14:52,960
Speaker 1: just the fact that he makes every kick. He makes

1489
01:14:52,960 --> 01:14:55,120
Speaker 1: every kick in practice. You know, and we just like

1490
01:14:55,439 --> 01:14:57,519
Speaker 1: the rare time he misses, it's like we just love

1491
01:14:57,560 --> 01:14:59,360
Speaker 1: it because he's such a good guy and he's not

1492
01:14:59,360 --> 01:15:01,080
Speaker 1: going guy, but he's such a perfection. It's like singing

1493
01:15:01,080 --> 01:15:03,200
Speaker 1: and everything else, and he's perfect and everything. This guy

1494
01:15:03,280 --> 01:15:06,720
Speaker 1: does nothing wrong. He's perfect and you can ask him

1495
01:15:06,760 --> 01:15:09,400
Speaker 1: about that. He'll he'll probably tell that to you too

1496
01:15:10,160 --> 01:15:13,559
Speaker 1: as well. Perfectly humble. Yeah, he's a yeah, totally made

1497
01:15:13,600 --> 01:15:16,240
Speaker 1: your confident guy. So when he does missing practice led

1498
01:15:16,240 --> 01:15:18,360
Speaker 1: by Terrell Suggs, you know, as a course of we

1499
01:15:18,439 --> 01:15:21,560
Speaker 1: just all really appreciate the fact that he's not actually perfect.

1500
01:15:22,120 --> 01:15:23,840
Speaker 1: Dan is always making the case there is no one

1501
01:15:23,880 --> 01:15:26,200
Speaker 1: in the league he would trade Justin Tucker for that.

1502
01:15:26,200 --> 01:15:29,559
Speaker 1: That is Dan's numbers. I'm like the biggest Justin Tucker

1503
01:15:29,560 --> 01:15:32,680
Speaker 1: fan in America. Well, you're probably ahead, but true, but

1504
01:15:32,880 --> 01:15:34,559
Speaker 1: my daughter may I tell all the all the all

1505
01:15:34,560 --> 01:15:37,040
Speaker 1: the all the Baltimore Girl fans, you know, the teenage girls.

1506
01:15:37,040 --> 01:15:39,599
Speaker 1: Who's probably even bigger than you and I Justin Tucker

1507
01:15:39,640 --> 01:15:43,400
Speaker 1: figured it out? Did the kicker who did it? One

1508
01:15:43,439 --> 01:15:45,400
Speaker 1: thing I wanted to ask you is that you're one

1509
01:15:45,439 --> 01:15:48,040
Speaker 1: of those coaches I feel like has a lot to

1510
01:15:48,040 --> 01:15:50,080
Speaker 1: say at these owner meetings that you speak up like

1511
01:15:50,120 --> 01:15:52,599
Speaker 1: there's a you know, the rules are being talked about,

1512
01:15:52,680 --> 01:15:56,480
Speaker 1: and I feel like you have opinions, you have feelings

1513
01:15:56,520 --> 01:15:59,000
Speaker 1: on those rules, and you let them know. Well, they

1514
01:15:59,040 --> 01:16:01,920
Speaker 1: spoke to me about that. So that's why I think

1515
01:16:01,960 --> 01:16:06,920
Speaker 1: I've been muzzled leaving right? Um, all right, So this

1516
01:16:07,000 --> 01:16:09,680
Speaker 1: is the part of the interview I called the crucible.

1517
01:16:10,000 --> 01:16:13,559
Speaker 1: It's the speed round. It's called eight o'clock delight. Are

1518
01:16:13,560 --> 01:16:16,360
Speaker 1: you ready? I'm so bad at this stuff. Well, it

1519
01:16:16,400 --> 01:16:18,720
Speaker 1: won't be too painful, or maybe it will. Let's hit

1520
01:16:18,720 --> 01:16:27,160
Speaker 1: it Netflix and chill or dinner in the movie Netflix

1521
01:16:27,200 --> 01:16:31,479
Speaker 1: and favorite Netflix favorite hip hop artist. I don't know

1522
01:16:31,520 --> 01:16:35,479
Speaker 1: any Okay, best Seagal movie. I've never seen any bare

1523
01:16:35,880 --> 01:16:43,120
Speaker 1: hot tub, hot tub relaxing, bliss or cesspools of filth action.

1524
01:16:44,120 --> 01:16:49,280
Speaker 1: Greatest SNL cast member of all time? What's one thing

1525
01:16:49,320 --> 01:16:54,720
Speaker 1: most people don't know about your quarterback? Uh? He's really opinionated.

1526
01:16:56,240 --> 01:16:58,439
Speaker 1: Do you believe that it's true? If you say so,

1527
01:16:58,560 --> 01:17:02,280
Speaker 1: I believe it. Speaking of rules and stuff, did they

1528
01:17:02,280 --> 01:17:05,000
Speaker 1: fix the catch rule this proposed? They did? They did.

1529
01:17:05,160 --> 01:17:06,760
Speaker 1: It's not perfect, but it never can be. Is this

1530
01:17:06,800 --> 01:17:13,400
Speaker 1: the new muzzle? Did Oswald act alone. Yes, have you

1531
01:17:13,439 --> 01:17:16,120
Speaker 1: ever seen a ghost? No? I don't believe in ghosts.

1532
01:17:16,400 --> 01:17:20,120
Speaker 1: You know Sessler is a major Oswald conspiracy guy. Because

1533
01:17:20,400 --> 01:17:24,639
Speaker 1: Michael also a Browns fan, so like you and Michael Lombardi,

1534
01:17:24,720 --> 01:17:26,519
Speaker 1: I I'm worried about the grass, you know, just a

1535
01:17:26,520 --> 01:17:28,080
Speaker 1: little bit something. There might have been something over there.

1536
01:17:29,840 --> 01:17:34,240
Speaker 1: The Greatest Generation? Accurate nickname or needlessly braggy accurate nickname?

1537
01:17:34,439 --> 01:17:38,720
Speaker 1: Is there intelligent life beyond this planet? Yeah? Spiritual best

1538
01:17:38,800 --> 01:17:43,000
Speaker 1: Tom Petty song, I won't back down. M that's right, going,

1539
01:17:43,240 --> 01:17:45,120
Speaker 1: can very good? Can the coolest guy on the team

1540
01:17:45,160 --> 01:17:50,880
Speaker 1: be a kicker? Adam Gates said no with authority on

1541
01:17:50,920 --> 01:17:56,320
Speaker 1: that one. He doesn't have Tucker exactly. John Harbaugh, best

1542
01:17:56,320 --> 01:17:59,200
Speaker 1: of luck to you in the two thousand and eighteen season.

1543
01:17:59,720 --> 01:18:02,000
Speaker 1: We will be watching. Thanks guys, you guys are great.

1544
01:18:02,040 --> 01:18:07,600
Speaker 1: Thanks there you go, John Harbaugh, and uh. I like

1545
01:18:07,720 --> 01:18:11,160
Speaker 1: the idea that that Justin Tucker is just a guy

1546
01:18:11,200 --> 01:18:14,400
Speaker 1: that everybody wants to see fail because he's he's perfect,

1547
01:18:14,400 --> 01:18:16,760
Speaker 1: which isn't a surprise to me. My goal one day

1548
01:18:16,800 --> 01:18:19,639
Speaker 1: is that the Ravens going entire season and only Justin

1549
01:18:19,680 --> 01:18:22,880
Speaker 1: Tucker scores. That's my goal. They've been getting, they got

1550
01:18:22,920 --> 01:18:26,600
Speaker 1: closer to feel like seems achievable, and that might be

1551
01:18:26,640 --> 01:18:28,719
Speaker 1: why they end up drafting a quarterback in this draft.

1552
01:18:29,240 --> 01:18:31,799
Speaker 1: But we shall see any other takeaways from Mr Harbaugh.

1553
01:18:32,760 --> 01:18:36,960
Speaker 1: I had promised at one point to gift Westling a

1554
01:18:37,120 --> 01:18:40,639
Speaker 1: train system from l A to Tybee Island called the Mouser,

1555
01:18:41,000 --> 01:18:42,880
Speaker 1: and to fund it would we would melt down the

1556
01:18:42,920 --> 01:18:45,080
Speaker 1: Baltimore Ravens to pay for it. I have to say

1557
01:18:45,120 --> 01:18:47,840
Speaker 1: I still like the idea, but um, it was a

1558
01:18:47,840 --> 01:18:50,960
Speaker 1: little tougher to comprehend. After hanging out with John Harbor,

1559
01:18:51,160 --> 01:18:54,720
Speaker 1: because you know, another um signal that we are very

1560
01:18:54,800 --> 01:18:57,880
Speaker 1: easily impressionable. I started to like him and feel a

1561
01:18:57,880 --> 01:19:00,840
Speaker 1: little less angst towards the races coming out of it.

1562
01:19:00,840 --> 01:19:05,080
Speaker 1: Between that and you forgiving art model. It's been halfway

1563
01:19:05,120 --> 01:19:07,240
Speaker 1: to Baltimore. It's been an off season of healing for

1564
01:19:07,360 --> 01:19:09,559
Speaker 1: marking the Ravens. And you know what it is because

1565
01:19:09,640 --> 01:19:11,280
Speaker 1: Mark thinks the Browns are on the right path. He

1566
01:19:11,280 --> 01:19:13,920
Speaker 1: won't say it, but he feels like things are going

1567
01:19:14,000 --> 01:19:16,360
Speaker 1: better for the Brownies and he can start letting go

1568
01:19:16,479 --> 01:19:19,000
Speaker 1: that this is ultra projection. I don't feel any of this.

1569
01:19:19,280 --> 01:19:26,719
Speaker 1: There's only one direction they can go is that at one. However,

1570
01:19:26,760 --> 01:19:35,360
Speaker 1: you take your pick if you I don't like that,

1571
