Speaker 1: We welcome you into episode twenty seven of the best

2
00:00:14,000 --> 00:00:18,440
Speaker 1: podcast available on Jason Gibbs alongside Andrew Ribble and coming

3
00:00:18,520 --> 00:00:21,439
Speaker 1: up on today's program, got a good one for you.

4
00:00:21,560 --> 00:00:24,800
Speaker 1: Grant Delpit, our new safety from l s U, will

5
00:00:24,880 --> 00:00:27,680
Speaker 1: join the program here in just a couple of short

6
00:00:27,840 --> 00:00:31,000
Speaker 1: minutes from now, Gribbs, I hope you had a fantastic

7
00:00:31,040 --> 00:00:33,760
Speaker 1: Memorial Day weekend. Got a chance to recharge the batteries,

8
00:00:33,800 --> 00:00:35,960
Speaker 1: and I hope the kids didn't burn the house down

9
00:00:36,000 --> 00:00:38,440
Speaker 1: for you. I did, and they didn't burn the house

10
00:00:38,479 --> 00:00:40,599
Speaker 1: down because we were outside the whole time. It was

11
00:00:40,720 --> 00:00:43,880
Speaker 1: it was gorgeous. I mean, this was perfect weather, perfect

12
00:00:43,920 --> 00:00:46,400
Speaker 1: time to get out and and do outdoors things with

13
00:00:46,479 --> 00:00:48,559
Speaker 1: kind of all the restrictions we still have going on.

14
00:00:48,680 --> 00:00:51,360
Speaker 1: So I mean, it was as ideal as you can get.

15
00:00:51,440 --> 00:00:53,520
Speaker 1: And then now we're, you know, back to work while

16
00:00:53,520 --> 00:00:55,200
Speaker 1: at the weather is still nice outside, which makes a

17
00:00:55,240 --> 00:01:00,400
Speaker 1: little tougher. Yes, indeed, although it's a little hot, so

18
00:01:00,680 --> 00:01:03,920
Speaker 1: I'm I'm okay staying inside right now and doing a

19
00:01:03,920 --> 00:01:05,720
Speaker 1: little bit of work here. So it was nice to

20
00:01:05,720 --> 00:01:09,160
Speaker 1: recharge the batteries. And now we're in that little period

21
00:01:09,280 --> 00:01:14,039
Speaker 1: where we've got the virtual offseason workouts continuing. We don't

22
00:01:14,040 --> 00:01:17,000
Speaker 1: know when we're going to have many camps or if

23
00:01:17,040 --> 00:01:20,120
Speaker 1: we're going to have many camps. Teams slowly starting to

24
00:01:20,120 --> 00:01:25,399
Speaker 1: open up their facilities though, GRIBs, we're the Browns. Who's in,

25
00:01:25,720 --> 00:01:28,840
Speaker 1: who's out? You know, people are asking our coaches, in

26
00:01:28,920 --> 00:01:32,320
Speaker 1: our players, in our front office people, and what are

27
00:01:32,319 --> 00:01:35,920
Speaker 1: the rules here as we start to slowly open up

28
00:01:35,920 --> 00:01:38,000
Speaker 1: here around the National Football League. Well, I think the

29
00:01:38,319 --> 00:01:40,600
Speaker 1: big thing that fans I think are most interested in

30
00:01:40,720 --> 00:01:43,520
Speaker 1: is that Phase one for these teams does not include

31
00:01:43,560 --> 00:01:45,600
Speaker 1: coaches and players. I mean, so that's that That's the

32
00:01:45,840 --> 00:01:48,640
Speaker 1: big one. And I think, so you're gonna have some

33
00:01:49,280 --> 00:01:52,840
Speaker 1: some maybe the business side. You're gonna maybe some of

34
00:01:52,840 --> 00:01:55,440
Speaker 1: the scouting side and things like that that get back

35
00:01:55,480 --> 00:01:58,320
Speaker 1: to work. But you know, these are around the league.

36
00:01:58,520 --> 00:02:01,160
Speaker 1: It's it's a very slow pro says. And when you

37
00:02:01,440 --> 00:02:03,600
Speaker 1: start throwing out numbers that are less than a hundred,

38
00:02:03,600 --> 00:02:07,160
Speaker 1: that's a pretty small group of employees going back to work.

39
00:02:07,200 --> 00:02:10,480
Speaker 1: And it's just reflective of pretty much everything you're seeing

40
00:02:10,680 --> 00:02:14,399
Speaker 1: in society. I mean, nothing is truly full fledged back

41
00:02:14,440 --> 00:02:18,960
Speaker 1: to normal yet anywhere you go in most states. So, uh,

42
00:02:19,040 --> 00:02:22,760
Speaker 1: all these teams I think have an understandably very close

43
00:02:22,840 --> 00:02:25,960
Speaker 1: relationship with their state government. So I think the clear

44
00:02:26,000 --> 00:02:28,720
Speaker 1: thing is is whatever is being advised by their government

45
00:02:29,400 --> 00:02:31,600
Speaker 1: is going to be followed to a t because I

46
00:02:31,639 --> 00:02:35,520
Speaker 1: think when it comes to actually playing these games, that's

47
00:02:35,600 --> 00:02:38,359
Speaker 1: that's gonna be the government's the decision. I mean, when

48
00:02:38,440 --> 00:02:41,000
Speaker 1: you when you come down to it, so you're gonna

49
00:02:41,000 --> 00:02:43,440
Speaker 1: want to be doing everything on the up and up

50
00:02:44,000 --> 00:02:47,280
Speaker 1: and keeping everyone safe and but still getting back to

51
00:02:47,400 --> 00:02:50,880
Speaker 1: some semblance of normality here. Yeah, I thought it was

52
00:02:50,919 --> 00:02:54,400
Speaker 1: an interesting back and forth. Earlier in the week, Charles

53
00:02:54,480 --> 00:02:56,920
Speaker 1: Robinson from Yahoo Sports coming out with a piece that

54
00:02:57,560 --> 00:03:02,040
Speaker 1: had sources saying there could be mini camps potentially mid

55
00:03:02,120 --> 00:03:05,560
Speaker 1: to late June, and J. C. Tread Or our own center,

56
00:03:05,560 --> 00:03:07,960
Speaker 1: who's the head of the players Union, quickly stepping in

57
00:03:08,080 --> 00:03:12,079
Speaker 1: and saying, not so fast, my friend. Uh, everything off

58
00:03:12,080 --> 00:03:14,280
Speaker 1: season wise is supposed to be wrapped up by June,

59
00:03:15,120 --> 00:03:18,080
Speaker 1: but it does. It is going to be interesting to

60
00:03:18,120 --> 00:03:20,680
Speaker 1: see what happens if everybody is allowed to go back

61
00:03:20,720 --> 00:03:23,480
Speaker 1: into the building and players and coaches are allowed back in,

62
00:03:24,040 --> 00:03:27,160
Speaker 1: if that schedule changes, and will the players union and

63
00:03:27,280 --> 00:03:31,440
Speaker 1: the owners come to an agreement on that, Yeah, I'd

64
00:03:31,480 --> 00:03:33,240
Speaker 1: like to I guess I would just be interested to

65
00:03:33,280 --> 00:03:36,520
Speaker 1: hear the from the coach and football perspective and maybe

66
00:03:36,520 --> 00:03:39,840
Speaker 1: what the value of doing a mini camp would be.

67
00:03:40,560 --> 00:03:43,000
Speaker 1: Uh So, maybe so close to potentially when you're doing

68
00:03:43,040 --> 00:03:45,920
Speaker 1: training camp. I'm sure there is a reason. I just

69
00:03:45,960 --> 00:03:51,120
Speaker 1: wonder what what would be the pros and cons of

70
00:03:51,160 --> 00:03:53,400
Speaker 1: just simply waiting to get started with training camp. I mean,

71
00:03:53,440 --> 00:03:56,920
Speaker 1: would that put you that far behind UH and your

72
00:03:57,040 --> 00:04:00,600
Speaker 1: usual preparation for the season. It's just my and I

73
00:04:00,600 --> 00:04:02,560
Speaker 1: think that so these mini camps might be a pretty

74
00:04:02,560 --> 00:04:05,640
Speaker 1: big deal, uh and something that these teams hope to execute.

75
00:04:05,640 --> 00:04:08,480
Speaker 1: I just it'll be interesting to see if they can

76
00:04:08,520 --> 00:04:10,920
Speaker 1: they can wrap up these discussions and come to a

77
00:04:10,960 --> 00:04:13,560
Speaker 1: conclusion here pretty quickly. But we saw the news with

78
00:04:13,640 --> 00:04:15,960
Speaker 1: New Jersey. I mean that probably was one of the

79
00:04:16,000 --> 00:04:19,640
Speaker 1: last states that UH had to give some sign off

80
00:04:19,680 --> 00:04:22,520
Speaker 1: to their teams, and then they have. So I think

81
00:04:22,520 --> 00:04:24,359
Speaker 1: all these NFL teams, most of them are in the

82
00:04:24,400 --> 00:04:27,440
Speaker 1: clear from that regard. But putting something like this together,

83
00:04:27,480 --> 00:04:30,640
Speaker 1: I mean that there's a lot lots of figure out still. Yeah,

84
00:04:30,880 --> 00:04:33,880
Speaker 1: no question and something to watch as we continue to

85
00:04:34,040 --> 00:04:38,200
Speaker 1: roll on through into June. And getting closer to the

86
00:04:38,240 --> 00:04:41,800
Speaker 1: start of the NFL season. I want to talk real quick,

87
00:04:41,880 --> 00:04:44,240
Speaker 1: want to pick your brain just to kind of clarify

88
00:04:44,360 --> 00:04:47,560
Speaker 1: some things. Uh, the team has already signed three of

89
00:04:47,600 --> 00:04:51,080
Speaker 1: their draft picks. Good news, Nick Harris, Donod and People's Jones,

90
00:04:51,120 --> 00:04:54,520
Speaker 1: Harris and Brian. There's a rookie salary cap in place.

91
00:04:54,600 --> 00:04:57,520
Speaker 1: We know everybody's going to sign. It's just a question

92
00:04:57,560 --> 00:05:00,479
Speaker 1: of when. And obviously you want to make sure it

93
00:05:00,560 --> 00:05:02,479
Speaker 1: comes down to the guaranteed money for a lot of

94
00:05:02,520 --> 00:05:06,400
Speaker 1: the guys in the first and second round. And um,

95
00:05:06,480 --> 00:05:10,080
Speaker 1: but why it is such a good thing that these

96
00:05:10,080 --> 00:05:12,799
Speaker 1: guys are getting signed and these deals are getting taken

97
00:05:12,839 --> 00:05:16,280
Speaker 1: care of now, even though we know that they're ultimately

98
00:05:16,279 --> 00:05:18,719
Speaker 1: gonna happen before training camp starts. It's good to get

99
00:05:18,760 --> 00:05:21,320
Speaker 1: these things done sooner rather than later. Yeah, it's just

100
00:05:21,400 --> 00:05:23,240
Speaker 1: one thing to check off the list. And I think

101
00:05:23,320 --> 00:05:26,240
Speaker 1: that the key thing is just it's amazing to see

102
00:05:26,240 --> 00:05:28,279
Speaker 1: how far we've come as a society where these guys

103
00:05:28,320 --> 00:05:31,320
Speaker 1: can have now been drafted and have signed agreed to

104
00:05:31,400 --> 00:05:34,719
Speaker 1: contracts without ever setting foot in the place that they're

105
00:05:34,720 --> 00:05:36,799
Speaker 1: gonna work, or a lot of these guys even setting

106
00:05:36,800 --> 00:05:38,640
Speaker 1: foot in the state they're gonna work. I mean, I

107
00:05:38,720 --> 00:05:41,359
Speaker 1: think that's it is pretty crazy, but I think I

108
00:05:41,360 --> 00:05:44,320
Speaker 1: haven't looked at the numbers. I think having three guys signed,

109
00:05:44,400 --> 00:05:46,120
Speaker 1: it puts the Browns probably in the top half of

110
00:05:46,120 --> 00:05:49,480
Speaker 1: the league at the moment right now, and most rookie signed.

111
00:05:49,520 --> 00:05:51,640
Speaker 1: I imagine some of these other ones will kind of

112
00:05:51,640 --> 00:05:54,839
Speaker 1: trickle in as they go, and it just really is

113
00:05:55,600 --> 00:05:58,520
Speaker 1: it's a new era. I mean, these this we talked

114
00:05:58,520 --> 00:06:01,040
Speaker 1: about it every year. I feel like, but this used

115
00:06:01,080 --> 00:06:03,600
Speaker 1: to be so much more of a story, especially with

116
00:06:03,640 --> 00:06:07,160
Speaker 1: these first round picks. But now it's just it's just

117
00:06:07,200 --> 00:06:10,880
Speaker 1: almost like not barely even a transaction, barely even a

118
00:06:10,880 --> 00:06:14,080
Speaker 1: blip on the radar when a player uh signs their deal.

119
00:06:14,160 --> 00:06:17,000
Speaker 1: And I think that's probably a good thing, and uh

120
00:06:17,040 --> 00:06:18,719
Speaker 1: for the players, I'm sure it's a big moment for

121
00:06:18,760 --> 00:06:22,039
Speaker 1: them start, uh, you know, getting getting whatever you can.

122
00:06:22,120 --> 00:06:25,120
Speaker 1: I mean, I think that's that probably is a burden

123
00:06:25,120 --> 00:06:28,480
Speaker 1: off these guys shoulders. And but it's one of those

124
00:06:28,480 --> 00:06:31,159
Speaker 1: things where you imagine, I think we've maybe come down

125
00:06:31,160 --> 00:06:33,880
Speaker 1: to the wire with one guy in the last maybe

126
00:06:33,920 --> 00:06:36,200
Speaker 1: four years when it comes to training camp. I believe

127
00:06:36,240 --> 00:06:38,840
Speaker 1: that was your real Peppers but even that got done.

128
00:06:38,880 --> 00:06:41,240
Speaker 1: So this is this is not something to be too

129
00:06:41,240 --> 00:06:44,360
Speaker 1: concerned with, but something to celebrate and remind yourself, Hey,

130
00:06:44,400 --> 00:06:46,840
Speaker 1: we drafted some good players their official you move them

131
00:06:46,839 --> 00:06:48,560
Speaker 1: to a different spot on the roster, and you're good

132
00:06:48,600 --> 00:06:51,440
Speaker 1: to go again. I think you hit it right on

133
00:06:51,480 --> 00:06:54,480
Speaker 1: the head. It's a thing to cross off the checklist

134
00:06:54,600 --> 00:06:58,039
Speaker 1: right now, especially with the fact that nothing's going on

135
00:06:58,120 --> 00:07:01,400
Speaker 1: in our building. We're still making a word progress and

136
00:07:02,320 --> 00:07:05,200
Speaker 1: the game plan again once you're allowed in and to

137
00:07:05,279 --> 00:07:07,440
Speaker 1: be able to hit the ground running. And this team

138
00:07:07,480 --> 00:07:10,119
Speaker 1: and this front office, with the help of some great

139
00:07:10,160 --> 00:07:12,960
Speaker 1: I T people and some great people behind the scenes,

140
00:07:13,480 --> 00:07:16,920
Speaker 1: really setting themselves up for that. Yeah, and it's it's

141
00:07:16,960 --> 00:07:19,040
Speaker 1: just gonna be. I mean, I don't know what it's

142
00:07:19,040 --> 00:07:20,800
Speaker 1: gonna look like. I don't know what. I'll be back,

143
00:07:21,400 --> 00:07:24,200
Speaker 1: You'll be back. It's just gonna be. It's gonna be different,

144
00:07:24,240 --> 00:07:27,840
Speaker 1: and I'm excited about it. Uh, all of this is

145
00:07:27,840 --> 00:07:30,000
Speaker 1: going to be a new experience this year, all the

146
00:07:30,040 --> 00:07:33,040
Speaker 1: way to the end of I believe, is going to

147
00:07:33,120 --> 00:07:35,680
Speaker 1: be just different in a lot of ways. And I

148
00:07:35,680 --> 00:07:38,040
Speaker 1: think we're already experiencing that in our everyday live So

149
00:07:38,400 --> 00:07:40,000
Speaker 1: going back to work for a lot of us. Is

150
00:07:40,320 --> 00:07:43,480
Speaker 1: the next step in this new normal, and that's both

151
00:07:43,520 --> 00:07:45,200
Speaker 1: on on the field and off the field and all

152
00:07:45,200 --> 00:07:48,720
Speaker 1: these football buildings. Yeah, buck it up here we go.

153
00:07:48,960 --> 00:07:52,400
Speaker 1: Welcome to the NFL season. All right, that's a look

154
00:07:52,480 --> 00:07:54,920
Speaker 1: at some of the news as it pertains to the Browns.

155
00:07:55,400 --> 00:07:58,200
Speaker 1: Right now. Time to sit down with our second round

00:11:33,520 --> 00:11:36,320
Speaker 1: And it's it's not like anybody here. It's just me

231
00:11:36,440 --> 00:11:40,800
Speaker 1: and Ryan Clark. Uh. You know that's he played for

232
00:11:40,800 --> 00:11:43,280

234
00:11:47,880 --> 00:11:51,480
Speaker 1: been over here to working out facility. Um. And I

235
00:11:51,520 --> 00:11:53,320
Speaker 1: know a lot of guys don't like a lot of

236
00:11:53,360 --> 00:11:55,600
Speaker 1: guys are you know, making it up as they go?

237
00:11:55,920 --> 00:11:58,080
Speaker 1: You know, would that be working down in the country

238
00:11:58,160 --> 00:12:02,120
Speaker 1: with I don't know, so chopping trees or typing wood

239
00:12:02,200 --> 00:12:05,120
Speaker 1: or something like that. But I know Jacob Phillips up

240
00:12:05,120 --> 00:12:08,760
Speaker 1: there in Tennessee doing the country way. You gotta ask

241
00:12:08,840 --> 00:12:13,880
Speaker 1: me about that. And so I'll go back to draft.

242
00:12:13,920 --> 00:12:16,040
Speaker 1: The day two of the draft, you had to it

243
00:12:16,120 --> 00:12:18,280
Speaker 1: had to be a surreal experience when the Browns call you.

244
00:12:18,320 --> 00:12:20,400
Speaker 1: And then where were you when you found out that

245
00:12:20,440 --> 00:12:22,480
Speaker 1: one of your teammates was coming with you shortly thereafter?

246
00:12:24,280 --> 00:12:27,400
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, I was. Um, it was a great experience. Uh.

247
00:12:27,640 --> 00:12:30,880
Speaker 1: And I was with my family my grandma's house when

248
00:12:30,920 --> 00:12:33,319
Speaker 1: we when we got the call. It was great. Um.

249
00:12:33,720 --> 00:12:36,200
Speaker 1: Like you said, a couple hours later we saw Jacobs

250
00:12:36,240 --> 00:12:39,280
Speaker 1: didn't get picked. Um, and it was crazy just just

251
00:12:39,360 --> 00:12:42,360
Speaker 1: to see I'll be linking up my brother again. Um,

252
00:12:42,400 --> 00:12:45,200
Speaker 1: you know up the north. Uh. You know, I can't

253
00:12:45,200 --> 00:12:46,880
Speaker 1: wait for its exciting. We have a lot of a

254
00:12:46,880 --> 00:12:52,200
Speaker 1: lot of chemistry together. You guys have a lot again,

255
00:12:52,320 --> 00:12:55,640
Speaker 1: a lot of l s U Tigers up here, and uh,

256
00:12:55,840 --> 00:12:58,560
Speaker 1: obviously you can't go out any better than what you

257
00:12:58,600 --> 00:13:01,480
Speaker 1: did in college. For whul we're with raising the national

258
00:13:01,559 --> 00:13:06,640
Speaker 1: championship trophy. And what was the best moment of that season?

259
00:13:06,720 --> 00:13:09,040
Speaker 1: What was the best moment of two thousand and nineteen

260
00:13:09,160 --> 00:13:14,800
Speaker 1: for you? Um? No, either getting over the hump of

261
00:13:14,920 --> 00:13:17,559
Speaker 1: beating Alabama and that's something we hadn't been done in

262
00:13:17,640 --> 00:13:20,960
Speaker 1: eight years. Uh, that was a great feeling. That was

263
00:13:20,960 --> 00:13:24,600
Speaker 1: a great feeling, especially doing in Tuscaloosa. UM. And then

264
00:13:25,120 --> 00:13:29,160
Speaker 1: of course the national championship. UM. You know, seeing all

265
00:13:29,240 --> 00:13:33,280
Speaker 1: the you know, the hard work uh come into play

266
00:13:33,320 --> 00:13:37,079
Speaker 1: and you know, really just accomplished that goal that we've

267
00:13:37,080 --> 00:13:39,199
Speaker 1: been wanting for so long. You know, it's really finally

268
00:13:39,240 --> 00:13:41,720
Speaker 1: getting LSU back where it needs to be. Um, that

269
00:13:41,840 --> 00:13:44,000
Speaker 1: was something that I told myself I wanted to do

270
00:13:44,080 --> 00:13:48,080
Speaker 1: before I've been played one snapman college. UM. It was

271
00:13:48,080 --> 00:13:49,880
Speaker 1: great to you know, have my career in like that.

272
00:13:51,960 --> 00:13:55,200
Speaker 1: You know, there there wasn't a lot of expectations for

273
00:13:55,320 --> 00:13:57,400
Speaker 1: l s U. Maybe not on the Alabama cleansing level

274
00:13:57,440 --> 00:13:59,800
Speaker 1: going into the season, but when did you know that

275
00:14:00,120 --> 00:14:03,360
Speaker 1: this that was a special team oh, I knew this

276
00:14:03,440 --> 00:14:07,120
Speaker 1: first team. Um well, I knew that we were going

277
00:14:07,280 --> 00:14:09,000
Speaker 1: the right track of the year before and we went

278
00:14:09,040 --> 00:14:11,120
Speaker 1: to New Year's six Bowl. Um, I knew that we

279
00:14:11,200 --> 00:14:13,200
Speaker 1: was gonna improve from there. And then we got coach

280
00:14:13,280 --> 00:14:16,160
Speaker 1: Brady in the offense, um really took off. I knew

281
00:14:16,160 --> 00:14:18,280
Speaker 1: it was gonna be you know, it was gonna be

282
00:14:18,320 --> 00:14:20,640
Speaker 1: hard stopping us. Um, Like even the camp, you know,

283
00:14:20,760 --> 00:14:23,040
Speaker 1: the office with score run up the score and our

284
00:14:23,080 --> 00:14:25,720
Speaker 1: da I'm like, okay, this is gonna be really you

285
00:14:25,760 --> 00:14:28,240
Speaker 1: know bad or offous gonna be really good. So you know,

286
00:14:28,440 --> 00:14:31,320
Speaker 1: thankfully it was. The office is really good. So um,

287
00:14:31,360 --> 00:14:33,640
Speaker 1: it was just great having having them do that thing.

288
00:14:33,640 --> 00:14:38,480
Speaker 1: And as to us, and it really came together. Now, obviously,

289
00:14:38,560 --> 00:14:41,160
Speaker 1: you you win a national championship and L s U

290
00:14:41,240 --> 00:14:43,040
Speaker 1: and we all know the rivalry with L s U

291
00:14:43,160 --> 00:14:46,520
Speaker 1: in Alabama and the SEC in general. But you guys

292
00:14:46,560 --> 00:14:49,880
Speaker 1: really do pull for each other post college. I mean,

293
00:14:49,920 --> 00:14:53,000
Speaker 1: I've seen a lot of stuff from players on both sides,

294
00:14:53,040 --> 00:14:57,400
Speaker 1: even you know, Jedrick uh with some nice things to say,

295
00:14:57,400 --> 00:15:00,360
Speaker 1: but you guys really have have stuck by each other. Obviously,

296
00:15:00,400 --> 00:15:03,120
Speaker 1: when you play each other that week, everything goes out

297
00:15:03,160 --> 00:15:05,800
Speaker 1: the window and we'll go out the window. But the

298
00:15:06,000 --> 00:15:09,480
Speaker 1: SEC really is that a little tight fraternity of guys

299
00:15:09,520 --> 00:15:13,280
Speaker 1: that really support each other after the fact. Yeah, it's

300
00:15:13,320 --> 00:15:15,920
Speaker 1: a type fraternity. I don't I don't know if I

301
00:15:15,920 --> 00:15:18,280
Speaker 1: would say pulling for you know, that's just kind of

302
00:15:18,280 --> 00:15:21,160
Speaker 1: tough like l I don't know, but that that might

303
00:15:21,160 --> 00:15:23,800
Speaker 1: it might be a competition. I say, it's competition. You know,

304
00:15:23,920 --> 00:15:27,680
Speaker 1: everybody wants to have the best production coming out of college,

305
00:15:27,800 --> 00:15:29,600
Speaker 1: you know, in the league. So that's that's really what

306
00:15:29,640 --> 00:15:34,560
Speaker 1: the competition is. So I think that we just all competitive.

307
00:15:34,600 --> 00:15:36,880
Speaker 1: In the SEC, we are tightening, you know. I would

308
00:15:36,880 --> 00:15:39,000
Speaker 1: say that we want to see the SEC win and

309
00:15:39,040 --> 00:15:42,400
Speaker 1: from not a SEC school, you know, loses. But in

310
00:15:42,440 --> 00:15:45,440
Speaker 1: the league, I think it's all the competition. Do you

311
00:15:45,440 --> 00:15:49,800
Speaker 1: ever think for a moment about going to Alabama. I

312
00:15:49,880 --> 00:15:52,840
Speaker 1: took a visit to Alabama. I did not an official,

313
00:15:52,880 --> 00:15:56,280
Speaker 1: but I took unofficial and it was a great school. Uh,

314
00:15:56,440 --> 00:15:59,480
Speaker 1: great facilities, great everything. You know. I made coach ament um,

315
00:15:59,480 --> 00:16:01,280
Speaker 1: But you know, I just wasn't feeling now. I was

316
00:16:01,320 --> 00:16:03,680
Speaker 1: I was always at literally in my heart. Well, let

317
00:16:03,680 --> 00:16:07,080
Speaker 1: me ask you about your last season there and how

318
00:16:07,120 --> 00:16:09,240
Speaker 1: how tough was it maybe mentally for you to kind

319
00:16:09,240 --> 00:16:12,120
Speaker 1: of battle through an injury but still be out there

320
00:16:12,240 --> 00:16:13,840
Speaker 1: for your guys, and and what what what kind of

321
00:16:13,840 --> 00:16:15,760
Speaker 1: stuff were you going through behind the scenes to kind

322
00:16:15,760 --> 00:16:19,480
Speaker 1: of get yourself ready for those game days. People just

323
00:16:19,520 --> 00:16:22,200
Speaker 1: don't know, man, I just don't know, uh not, try

324
00:16:22,280 --> 00:16:26,480
Speaker 1: not to talk about a lot. But I really showed

325
00:16:26,520 --> 00:16:28,360
Speaker 1: myself my team, you know, in in the in the

326
00:16:28,440 --> 00:16:30,800
Speaker 1: circle like over the building. You know that I'm not

327
00:16:30,840 --> 00:16:32,400
Speaker 1: in it for the draft, and I wasn't in it

328
00:16:32,480 --> 00:16:35,520
Speaker 1: to take my draft status. If I was, I would

329
00:16:35,560 --> 00:16:37,400
Speaker 1: it just sat out the rest of the season. You know.

330
00:16:37,480 --> 00:16:42,000
Speaker 1: I wasn't worried about going first round, you know, top ten,

331
00:16:42,120 --> 00:16:43,880
Speaker 1: top fIF team, and I was really trying to be

332
00:16:43,920 --> 00:16:46,440
Speaker 1: there for my guys. I could easily you know what

333
00:16:46,480 --> 00:16:49,760
Speaker 1: I'm saying, Hun clice up and probably got surgery on

334
00:16:49,840 --> 00:16:51,600
Speaker 1: my ankle and would have been good in a couple

335
00:16:51,640 --> 00:16:54,240
Speaker 1: of weeks. I just didn't want to miss any games.

336
00:16:54,680 --> 00:16:57,280
Speaker 1: And so just you know, behind closed doors, it was tough.

337
00:16:57,320 --> 00:17:00,680
Speaker 1: It was tough. No you could tell if I was

338
00:17:00,720 --> 00:17:03,400
Speaker 1: limping out. Their fans don't really care about all that stuff.

339
00:17:03,960 --> 00:17:08,159
Speaker 1: Uh ankle slow flow flared up. Um, but you know,

340
00:17:08,240 --> 00:17:10,080
Speaker 1: we got through it and we didn't lose the game.

341
00:17:10,119 --> 00:17:17,120
Speaker 1: So that's all I meant you. Speaking of moving, you've

342
00:17:17,160 --> 00:17:21,720
Speaker 1: been all over the place, New Orleans, Houston, Florida, back

343
00:17:21,760 --> 00:17:26,359
Speaker 1: to Louisiana now on the on the Cleveland. Um. How

344
00:17:26,359 --> 00:17:30,280
Speaker 1: supportive has your family been through everything? I have been

345
00:17:30,359 --> 00:17:33,879
Speaker 1: very supportive, even in my days, uh in Florida, IMG

346
00:17:34,000 --> 00:17:35,600
Speaker 1: that one year, you know, they came to every home

347
00:17:35,640 --> 00:17:38,000
Speaker 1: game and that it wasn't that. I m G. It's

348
00:17:38,000 --> 00:17:39,760
Speaker 1: not a lot of people that come to the to

349
00:17:39,800 --> 00:17:41,800
Speaker 1: the home games because everybody comes from across the country.

350
00:17:41,880 --> 00:17:44,160
Speaker 1: Being my my mom and my sister and my dad

351
00:17:44,240 --> 00:17:46,399
Speaker 1: was always there. So I'm sure that they will be

352
00:17:46,440 --> 00:17:48,480
Speaker 1: at every Cleveland game. You know. I have to find

353
00:17:48,480 --> 00:17:52,399
Speaker 1: a spot where they can come for the weekends. I

354
00:17:52,440 --> 00:17:55,119
Speaker 1: know they're gonna be coming up, so it's gonna be

355
00:17:55,160 --> 00:17:56,560
Speaker 1: It's gonna be nice that I was at a great

356
00:17:56,560 --> 00:17:58,840
Speaker 1: support system and they're definitely gonna be a part of it.

357
00:18:00,200 --> 00:18:02,560
Speaker 1: What's Greedy told you about Cleveland as a place to live.

358
00:18:04,480 --> 00:18:07,880
Speaker 1: Greedy said, well, you know, uh, he said, it's night. Well, Greed,

359
00:18:07,880 --> 00:18:09,320
Speaker 1: he's a family man. You know, he's been with his

360
00:18:09,640 --> 00:18:11,440
Speaker 1: being with his daughter and his and his and his

361
00:18:11,600 --> 00:18:15,520
Speaker 1: girl and just being up in Cleveland. Um, you know,

362
00:18:15,800 --> 00:18:18,040
Speaker 1: I'm from Louisian. I've never even been in Cleveland before.

363
00:18:18,359 --> 00:18:22,000
Speaker 1: I never even thought about going to Cleveland before. So um,

364
00:18:22,080 --> 00:18:24,000
Speaker 1: he said, it's it's not as bad as you were seeing.

365
00:18:24,440 --> 00:18:27,320
Speaker 1: It's on it's on the lake. Um, downtown area is great.

366
00:18:27,359 --> 00:18:30,600
Speaker 1: It's great stadium. Um, you know, great people as well.

367
00:18:30,840 --> 00:18:32,720
Speaker 1: So and I'm decided to get up there for the

368
00:18:32,720 --> 00:18:37,000
Speaker 1: first time. You will need a winner, Coade. I hate

369
00:18:37,040 --> 00:18:40,880
Speaker 1: to be news that that part will come in December,

370
00:18:40,920 --> 00:18:44,240
Speaker 1: but if you're playing in January, it doesn't matter. You

371
00:18:44,280 --> 00:18:47,600
Speaker 1: don't feel the cold trust me, especially when you're playing

372
00:18:47,600 --> 00:18:53,560
Speaker 1: in January. Football. Um, what's the best piece of advice

373
00:18:53,600 --> 00:18:56,159
Speaker 1: that Ryan Clark's given you? You said you your trained

374
00:18:56,160 --> 00:18:58,639
Speaker 1: with him. What's the what's the best piece of advice

375
00:18:58,640 --> 00:19:00,879
Speaker 1: you've got? And what is he told you? Uh? That

376
00:19:00,920 --> 00:19:05,560
Speaker 1: little rivalry with the team that he used to play for. Yeah,

377
00:19:05,760 --> 00:19:07,840
Speaker 1: there's a there's a big rivalry at that you know,

378
00:19:07,880 --> 00:19:10,720
Speaker 1: the Vision Games. I know that they've always you know,

379
00:19:10,760 --> 00:19:13,399
Speaker 1: he's always been rivals with the stealers, So you know

380
00:19:13,520 --> 00:19:15,879
Speaker 1: he's he's really just told me, you know, just just

381
00:19:15,960 --> 00:19:18,119
Speaker 1: be yourself, and you know, guys wish that they had

382
00:19:18,119 --> 00:19:22,160
Speaker 1: the rookie year back. Um, so just just going going

383
00:19:22,200 --> 00:19:24,600
Speaker 1: to year one's really something to proof. And I think

384
00:19:24,640 --> 00:19:26,320
Speaker 1: that have a lot of stuff to prove to people.

385
00:19:26,840 --> 00:19:29,159
Speaker 1: Of course, every team I passed me up, and you know,

386
00:19:29,240 --> 00:19:32,240
Speaker 1: being drafted forty fourth overall, that's really a big chip

387
00:19:32,280 --> 00:19:34,840
Speaker 1: on my shoulder. Um. So you know, some guys may

388
00:19:34,880 --> 00:19:37,080
Speaker 1: look at it as a good thing I do. You know,

389
00:19:37,200 --> 00:19:39,480
Speaker 1: I'm truly blessed, but I do have a lot more

390
00:19:39,520 --> 00:19:41,399
Speaker 1: to prove. And you know, I'm ready to put on

391
00:19:41,400 --> 00:19:44,639
Speaker 1: that Brown's jersey and get to work. One of the

392
00:19:44,680 --> 00:19:46,520
Speaker 1: things that Andrew Berry said about what do you like

393
00:19:46,640 --> 00:19:49,560
Speaker 1: about your game was the versatility? What what what has

394
00:19:49,600 --> 00:19:51,800
Speaker 1: made you kind of a player that's been able to

395
00:19:51,800 --> 00:19:54,720
Speaker 1: to play a lot of different spots in that defensive backfield.

396
00:19:56,680 --> 00:20:00,679
Speaker 1: Uh well, I think my ability to line you know,

397
00:20:00,720 --> 00:20:05,000
Speaker 1: all positions is something that I probed myself. You know,

398
00:20:05,080 --> 00:20:06,960
Speaker 1: even right now. You know, I'm trying to learn every

399
00:20:07,080 --> 00:20:09,879
Speaker 1: every secondary position. So I know that what the guy's

400
00:20:10,200 --> 00:20:12,560
Speaker 1: left and right of me is doing, um, and that

401
00:20:12,760 --> 00:20:14,760
Speaker 1: can help me do my job. So I think that

402
00:20:14,800 --> 00:20:17,800
Speaker 1: you know, my basity to learn fast think on my feet. Um.

403
00:20:17,840 --> 00:20:19,920
Speaker 1: And of course, the defense a scheme. I always says

404
00:20:19,920 --> 00:20:21,720
Speaker 1: everything to do it. Now, I'll just ask you one

405
00:20:21,720 --> 00:20:23,720
Speaker 1: more thing. What have you learned about your potential role

406
00:20:23,960 --> 00:20:26,560
Speaker 1: in this defense so far from from what you've gathered,

407
00:20:26,600 --> 00:20:29,920
Speaker 1: and what do you like about it? Um? Yeah, it's

408
00:20:29,920 --> 00:20:31,960
Speaker 1: a brand new defense. Um, my role, I don't know

409
00:20:32,000 --> 00:20:33,600
Speaker 1: if I know exactly what my role would be. I

410
00:20:33,720 --> 00:20:35,720
Speaker 1: know that I'm gonna have to come in early and

411
00:20:35,840 --> 00:20:38,840
Speaker 1: earn a spot. Um. That's before anything. I gotta earn

412
00:20:38,920 --> 00:20:41,359
Speaker 1: trust with the vets, and I got earnest about with

413
00:20:41,359 --> 00:20:44,880
Speaker 1: the coaches. So um, I'm looking forward to doing that.

414
00:20:44,960 --> 00:20:47,520
Speaker 1: You know I'm doing that right now, Uh, in meetings

415
00:20:47,640 --> 00:20:50,679
Speaker 1: and watching film every day. So um, you know the

416
00:20:50,720 --> 00:20:54,199
Speaker 1: identity that I'll have isn't isn't isn't there yet. But

417
00:20:54,320 --> 00:20:57,720
Speaker 1: you know, we were slowly figuring out are you going

418
00:20:57,720 --> 00:20:59,920
Speaker 1: to challenge before we wrap up? Are you going to

419
00:21:00,119 --> 00:21:03,520
Speaker 1: challenge Myles Garrett to any weightlifting competitions? I will not

420
00:21:03,680 --> 00:21:06,719
Speaker 1: be doing that. You know he has that one. I

421
00:21:06,760 --> 00:21:09,080
Speaker 1: could challenge him to something else. We'll have to figure

422
00:21:09,080 --> 00:21:12,560
Speaker 1: it out, but he definitely I would not be partaking

423
00:21:12,560 --> 00:21:19,600
Speaker 1: in that grant we appreciate a few minutes of your time. Man.

424
00:21:19,840 --> 00:21:21,920
Speaker 1: I know you're in the middle of a workout. We

425
00:21:21,920 --> 00:21:24,359
Speaker 1: we thank you for taking the time when we wish

426
00:21:24,359 --> 00:21:26,040
Speaker 1: you all the best of luck. Make sure you give

427
00:21:26,119 --> 00:21:29,760
Speaker 1: Ryan Clark the business um we did for a long

428
00:21:29,800 --> 00:21:31,879
Speaker 1: time and he had the best of us for a

429
00:21:31,920 --> 00:21:35,320
Speaker 1: little while. So we're hoping to repay that uh with

430
00:21:35,359 --> 00:21:38,360
Speaker 1: you and the rest of the guys here in wish

431
00:21:38,359 --> 00:21:39,720
Speaker 1: you all the best of luck and look forward to

432
00:21:39,720 --> 00:21:41,720
Speaker 1: seeing you soon, my friend. Thank you man, we'll do

433
00:21:41,840 --> 00:21:45,160
Speaker 1: appreciate it. I want to thank Grant Dumping for his time.

434
00:21:45,200 --> 00:21:48,560
Speaker 1: GRIBs big takeaways from Mr Dulpett's time with us today.

435
00:21:49,320 --> 00:21:51,200
Speaker 1: I mean he's he's like every other guy we talked

436
00:21:51,200 --> 00:21:55,040
Speaker 1: to LUs you, very competent, very easy going and then

437
00:21:55,200 --> 00:21:57,000
Speaker 1: but you know he's got that competitive edge to him.

438
00:21:57,040 --> 00:21:59,000
Speaker 1: So we'll see what he's like on the on the field.

439
00:21:59,000 --> 00:22:00,959
Speaker 1: That the one question, and I did want to ask him.

440
00:22:01,000 --> 00:22:04,040
Speaker 1: I wonder if he was disappointed that he couldn't wear

441
00:22:04,160 --> 00:22:06,920
Speaker 1: number seven in the pros. I mean, that's just that's

442
00:22:06,920 --> 00:22:10,920
Speaker 1: the that's the the lack of creativity with numbers you

443
00:22:11,440 --> 00:22:14,160
Speaker 1: can have in this league. I might have suggested because

444
00:22:14,160 --> 00:22:16,600
Speaker 1: it seems like he's taken it pretty personally. I might

445
00:22:16,600 --> 00:22:20,280
Speaker 1: have suggested trying to to arrange a deal with Taki

446
00:22:20,320 --> 00:22:22,720
Speaker 1: Taki to get forty four because it seems like that's

447
00:22:22,760 --> 00:22:26,320
Speaker 1: something that's that's hold. He's going to use that as motivation,

448
00:22:26,440 --> 00:22:29,240
Speaker 1: I think, uh, to start his career, because I think

449
00:22:29,680 --> 00:22:32,239
Speaker 1: justifiably he thinks he probably should have gone a lot

450
00:22:32,240 --> 00:22:36,119
Speaker 1: earlier in that draft. Yeah, no question about it. I

451
00:22:36,160 --> 00:22:39,320
Speaker 1: mean he uh, he buried it a little bit, but

452
00:22:39,400 --> 00:22:41,920
Speaker 1: you could tell there is a there's an all, there's

453
00:22:41,960 --> 00:22:45,280
Speaker 1: a mountain on that shoulder. It's not a chip, that's

454
00:22:45,320 --> 00:22:48,520
Speaker 1: that is for sure. Uh. We have some votes coming

455
00:22:48,560 --> 00:22:55,199
Speaker 1: in today Owners Meeting Virtual addition, Sky Judge. If you

456
00:22:55,240 --> 00:22:58,719
Speaker 1: were an owner, would you vote for or against the

457
00:22:58,760 --> 00:23:01,879
Speaker 1: Sky Judge or essentially the eighth man in the booth.

458
00:23:03,160 --> 00:23:05,600
Speaker 1: I'm for it whatever I mean, because I think you

459
00:23:05,640 --> 00:23:08,880
Speaker 1: can just see so much more from that perspective. I mean,

460
00:23:08,880 --> 00:23:10,520
Speaker 1: I think it makes the game better. I just want

461
00:23:10,560 --> 00:23:13,560
Speaker 1: to know it gives you have the the what powers

462
00:23:13,600 --> 00:23:16,240
Speaker 1: will the sky Judge have that? That's that's just what

463
00:23:16,480 --> 00:23:19,520
Speaker 1: I want to know, what what is in their jurisdiction

464
00:23:19,600 --> 00:23:21,840
Speaker 1: and what is not? Because I think that's a key

465
00:23:21,920 --> 00:23:24,199
Speaker 1: part of this. I'm all for having them having a

466
00:23:24,240 --> 00:23:27,720
Speaker 1: lot of power, but I'm just wondering if they're gonna

467
00:23:27,960 --> 00:23:31,199
Speaker 1: limit the powers of the Sky Judge. Well, and I

468
00:23:31,240 --> 00:23:33,800
Speaker 1: don't want to bring stuff to a halt because we're

469
00:23:33,800 --> 00:23:36,439
Speaker 1: reviewing every other play. Because the Sky Judge saw a

470
00:23:36,480 --> 00:23:40,760
Speaker 1: guy that was just you know, out of position. Um,

471
00:23:41,280 --> 00:23:44,520
Speaker 1: that that's something I think that is definitely going to

472
00:23:45,480 --> 00:23:47,919
Speaker 1: be have to be factored in. And I don't know.

473
00:23:48,080 --> 00:23:50,520
Speaker 1: I've done I've done some homework, I've looked into it.

474
00:23:51,080 --> 00:23:53,280
Speaker 1: No one seems to be sure exactly how much power.

475
00:23:53,320 --> 00:23:55,240
Speaker 1: I think it's the case of are you going to

476
00:23:55,240 --> 00:23:57,040
Speaker 1: approve it? And then if you're going to approve it,

477
00:23:57,320 --> 00:23:59,399
Speaker 1: how much power? Then are you going to give that first?

478
00:23:59,840 --> 00:24:01,240
Speaker 1: I just I also want to know where the Sky

479
00:24:01,320 --> 00:24:04,439
Speaker 1: Judge is gonna rank in the official power rankings, like

480
00:24:04,480 --> 00:24:06,639
Speaker 1: you know, because obviously don't don't these guys want to

481
00:24:06,840 --> 00:24:08,399
Speaker 1: you all want to be the referee, You'll want to

482
00:24:08,440 --> 00:24:11,480
Speaker 1: be the main guy. But ultimately the Sky Judge is overruling.

483
00:24:12,040 --> 00:24:14,080
Speaker 1: Isn't he the one he or she the one with

484
00:24:14,119 --> 00:24:27,080
Speaker 1: the ultimate power? Is No, that's right on that? Um? Yeah, Yeah,

485
00:24:27,119 --> 00:24:31,879
Speaker 1: A lot of questions still with that, but animosity between

486
00:24:31,880 --> 00:24:33,920
Speaker 1: the on field officials and the sky judge. I mean,

487
00:24:34,359 --> 00:24:36,680
Speaker 1: do you have to rotate that so that that you

488
00:24:36,760 --> 00:24:38,760
Speaker 1: gotta have the on field and the mix of the

489
00:24:39,080 --> 00:24:42,800
Speaker 1: booth experience. That's a lot. I'm very curious about this.

490
00:24:43,359 --> 00:24:46,600
Speaker 1: I mean, that's what that's what college basketball and the NBA.

491
00:24:46,720 --> 00:24:50,840
Speaker 1: I mean, they have that fourth official that sits courtside

492
00:24:50,880 --> 00:24:53,160
Speaker 1: that ru I mean in the next game he would

493
00:24:53,200 --> 00:24:56,000
Speaker 1: be out and someone else would be running that monitor.

494
00:24:56,080 --> 00:24:58,040
Speaker 1: So yeah, I think you would almost have to have

495
00:24:58,040 --> 00:25:02,600
Speaker 1: a rotation. I think that I don't know. I want

496
00:25:02,640 --> 00:25:04,960
Speaker 1: to see get approved and then we figure out the

497
00:25:05,000 --> 00:25:08,120
Speaker 1: rest because I think I think that's the best way

498
00:25:08,160 --> 00:25:11,439
Speaker 1: to solve this pass interference problem. Yeah. And I think

499
00:25:11,480 --> 00:25:14,399
Speaker 1: it's just overall, I mean why not. I mean, it's

500
00:25:14,480 --> 00:25:17,439
Speaker 1: it's gonna make it better. Yeah, I mean, it's just

501
00:25:18,000 --> 00:25:20,600
Speaker 1: you're you're ultimately hoping to make the product better. It

502
00:25:20,720 --> 00:25:23,440
Speaker 1: just comes at maybe the only risk is slowing down

503
00:25:23,440 --> 00:25:24,880
Speaker 1: the game war and that's what not what you want

504
00:25:24,880 --> 00:25:28,520
Speaker 1: to do? Yep. Correct. The other one up for a vote,

505
00:25:29,119 --> 00:25:32,560
Speaker 1: The on side kick owners will vote to a LLAWA

506
00:25:32,680 --> 00:25:35,920
Speaker 1: team twice a game to follow a scoring play by

507
00:25:36,000 --> 00:25:38,800
Speaker 1: running one play and trying to convert on fourth and

508
00:25:38,880 --> 00:25:42,720
Speaker 1: fifteen from the offense is twenty five yard line. If

509
00:25:42,720 --> 00:25:45,800
Speaker 1: the offense doesn't convert, the defensive team takes over on

510
00:25:45,880 --> 00:25:49,280
Speaker 1: a short field Like not, like, would you vote or

511
00:25:49,280 --> 00:25:52,720
Speaker 1: not vote for that? Well, I mean we've a previous

512
00:25:52,760 --> 00:25:54,840
Speaker 1: b p A guest from earlier this year. We know

513
00:25:54,880 --> 00:25:58,359
Speaker 1: how he feels about that. Uh, and I don't. I

514
00:25:58,359 --> 00:26:02,679
Speaker 1: can't imagine the special teams. Folks want to see this

515
00:26:02,720 --> 00:26:05,919
Speaker 1: because it eliminates a pretty big weapon in their in

516
00:26:05,960 --> 00:26:09,199
Speaker 1: their arsenal. And I but if I'm talking about just

517
00:26:09,280 --> 00:26:12,120
Speaker 1: pure fun factor, I mean this, this makes the game

518
00:26:12,160 --> 00:26:16,320
Speaker 1: more fun, and I I think I may be less

519
00:26:16,359 --> 00:26:19,920
Speaker 1: interested in seeing a losing team attempted. But what about

520
00:26:19,920 --> 00:26:23,320
Speaker 1: a winning team like that's just feeling feeling like they

521
00:26:23,320 --> 00:26:25,600
Speaker 1: got the right play for it, that feel like they

522
00:26:25,640 --> 00:26:28,240
Speaker 1: got the hot hand, like a little make it take

523
00:26:28,320 --> 00:26:31,400
Speaker 1: it action like that that is gonna be. I want

524
00:26:31,440 --> 00:26:33,640
Speaker 1: to see the first team that attempts this while with

525
00:26:33,680 --> 00:26:36,199
Speaker 1: a lead, because I think that is fun. And I

526
00:26:36,240 --> 00:26:38,560
Speaker 1: think the Kansas City Chiefs are my top candidate to

527
00:26:38,600 --> 00:26:42,240
Speaker 1: do just because I want to figure out the math,

528
00:26:42,359 --> 00:26:45,359
Speaker 1: Like what's the what's the risk of start of start

529
00:26:45,359 --> 00:26:47,280
Speaker 1: putting your defense out there on I mean, obviously it's

530
00:26:47,320 --> 00:26:48,960
Speaker 1: huge to put your defense out there on the twenty

531
00:26:49,000 --> 00:26:52,159
Speaker 1: five yard line, and it's a momentum swing. Yeah, And

532
00:26:52,400 --> 00:26:56,720
Speaker 1: I do think ultimately I don't love the ultimate resolution

533
00:26:56,760 --> 00:26:59,280
Speaker 1: to this. I would prefer maybe just going back to

534
00:26:59,320 --> 00:27:01,600
Speaker 1: the old way we did off on side kicks. I

535
00:27:01,600 --> 00:27:04,560
Speaker 1: think that maybe is better. But this is I mean,

536
00:27:04,600 --> 00:27:07,200
Speaker 1: this is a major shift. I mean, this is I

537
00:27:07,200 --> 00:27:12,040
Speaker 1: wouldn't call it gimmicky, but it it's it's borderline gimmicky.

538
00:27:12,160 --> 00:27:14,600
Speaker 1: I mean it's it's certainly I mean, this is a

539
00:27:14,640 --> 00:27:18,520
Speaker 1: major change to the rules of the game. And I

540
00:27:18,560 --> 00:27:22,760
Speaker 1: think that's why I I wonder if this will maybe

541
00:27:22,760 --> 00:27:26,399
Speaker 1: be a preseason thing before they ever unleashed this in

542
00:27:26,440 --> 00:27:30,080
Speaker 1: the regular season. I just think it's such it's such

543
00:27:30,119 --> 00:27:34,560
Speaker 1: a big change. I mean, I'll I'll be surprised maybe

544
00:27:34,560 --> 00:27:37,800
Speaker 1: if this, if this comes to be the way we're

545
00:27:37,840 --> 00:27:43,000
Speaker 1: playing football. Yeah, alright, final thought from you. If you

546
00:27:43,040 --> 00:27:47,919
Speaker 1: were the Jets who just signed Joe Flacco, would you

547
00:27:47,960 --> 00:27:50,560
Speaker 1: have taken Joe Flacco or would you have taken Cam

548
00:27:50,600 --> 00:27:52,600
Speaker 1: Newton If you were running the show there for the

549
00:27:52,640 --> 00:27:56,320
Speaker 1: backup quarterback. If you're the Jets, you're all about the

550
00:27:56,359 --> 00:28:00,960
Speaker 1: development of Sam Donald, and Cam Newton is clearly way

551
00:28:00,960 --> 00:28:02,800
Speaker 1: better than Joe Flacco. So I'll put that out there

552
00:28:02,880 --> 00:28:07,080
Speaker 1: right now. I just wonder, would you maybe you shouldn't

553
00:28:07,080 --> 00:28:10,320
Speaker 1: worry about Sam Donald being able to handle it. I

554
00:28:10,440 --> 00:28:14,480
Speaker 1: would think I think Sam Donald would be one kind

555
00:28:14,480 --> 00:28:17,879
Speaker 1: of so so year away from needing a Cam Newton

556
00:28:17,960 --> 00:28:20,640
Speaker 1: type of backup in his life, if that makes sense.

557
00:28:20,680 --> 00:28:23,520
Speaker 1: I think right now, especially after what he dealt with

558
00:28:23,600 --> 00:28:26,720
Speaker 1: last year with the motto and really didn't have like

559
00:28:26,760 --> 00:28:29,360
Speaker 1: a full season, really hasn't had any good wide receivers

560
00:28:29,359 --> 00:28:32,280
Speaker 1: there ever since he's been there, and I think you

561
00:28:32,320 --> 00:28:34,720
Speaker 1: need to build the bright support system around him. And

562
00:28:34,960 --> 00:28:38,520
Speaker 1: I'm not necessarily sure, and maybe I could be. I mean,

563
00:28:38,600 --> 00:28:40,800
Speaker 1: if Cam was all in on being the mentor, then

564
00:28:40,840 --> 00:28:43,120
Speaker 1: I think Cam is the better option. But I think

565
00:28:43,120 --> 00:28:45,320
Speaker 1: Cam Newton is good enough to be starting in this

566
00:28:45,440 --> 00:28:48,400
Speaker 1: league and you don't want after Week one if if

567
00:28:48,440 --> 00:28:52,560
Speaker 1: Donald throws two picks to be just under an avalanche

568
00:28:52,600 --> 00:28:56,200
Speaker 1: of questions about the backup quarterback getting in the game. Flacco,

569
00:28:56,400 --> 00:28:58,320
Speaker 1: you probably don't get that. I mean, I just think

570
00:28:58,360 --> 00:29:00,560
Speaker 1: he's at a different stage of his career. I just

571
00:29:00,600 --> 00:29:03,400
Speaker 1: think I worry he's not even gonna He's not even

572
00:29:03,440 --> 00:29:06,720
Speaker 1: going to be ready for week one. It looks like, yeah,

573
00:29:06,840 --> 00:29:08,800
Speaker 1: Cam Newton should be starting somewhere. If he's healthy, he

574
00:29:08,840 --> 00:29:13,040
Speaker 1: should be starting. And I but if I was bringing

575
00:29:13,120 --> 00:29:15,440
Speaker 1: camp camp camp, if he's gonna be a backup, he's

576
00:29:15,440 --> 00:29:19,040
Speaker 1: got to be somewhere where the starting situation is either

577
00:29:19,120 --> 00:29:21,400
Speaker 1: if he or it's an established veteran and you're not

578
00:29:21,440 --> 00:29:26,320
Speaker 1: gonna maybe worry about being lumped into a controversy week

579
00:29:26,360 --> 00:29:28,720
Speaker 1: two if the if the quarterback doesn't perform very well,

580
00:29:29,080 --> 00:29:31,920
Speaker 1: So I think that's the that That's why I would

581
00:29:32,040 --> 00:29:34,120
Speaker 1: I would lean Flacco. But I'm making it clear that

582
00:29:34,160 --> 00:29:36,680
Speaker 1: Cam is the superior quarterback. I mean, so, if you're

583
00:29:36,680 --> 00:29:39,880
Speaker 1: going purely on get the best quarterback, Cam, Cam is it,

584
00:29:40,000 --> 00:29:43,640
Speaker 1: and Cam might be better than your current circ Yeah. Again,

585
00:29:43,960 --> 00:29:46,280
Speaker 1: we wait and see what happens with Cam Newton, and

586
00:29:46,320 --> 00:29:49,080
Speaker 1: it all comes down I think to being able to

587
00:29:49,120 --> 00:29:51,160
Speaker 1: get Cam Newton in the building and get Cam Newton

588
00:29:51,200 --> 00:29:54,200
Speaker 1: physicals throughout the NFL list what's going on with that

589
00:29:54,320 --> 00:29:58,200
Speaker 1: shoulder and with that arm. We want to thank Grant
