8
00:00:30,480 --> 00:00:33,280
Speaker 1: And we're right now just kind of breaking the game

9
00:00:33,280 --> 00:00:36,800
Speaker 1: down and talking about the storylines. Is Patrick mahomes ankle

10
00:00:36,880 --> 00:00:39,440
Speaker 1: gonna hold I mean, all the stuff. So it's great

11
00:00:39,520 --> 00:00:42,040
Speaker 1: because it's it's just all football right now. Yeah, and

12
00:00:42,040 --> 00:00:45,360
Speaker 1: that's kind of what I prefer. Hey, the Jets are

13
00:00:45,360 --> 00:00:48,279
Speaker 1: still in the news though, Baldi. How about yesterday Pro

14
00:00:48,360 --> 00:00:53,040
Speaker 1: Football Writers Association naming Sauce Gardner in the two thousand

15
00:00:53,120 --> 00:00:56,880
Speaker 1: two NFL Rookie of the Year, did the Defensive Rookie

16
00:00:56,920 --> 00:00:59,680
Speaker 1: of the Year and ed Garrett Wilson offensive Rookie. There

17
00:01:00,000 --> 00:01:01,680
Speaker 1: I was. It was a great draft class. You know,

18
00:01:01,840 --> 00:01:04,560
Speaker 1: if Priests stayed healthy all year, maybe he would have

19
00:01:04,600 --> 00:01:07,319
Speaker 1: been somewhere in the mix as well. But it's just

20
00:01:07,319 --> 00:01:10,520
Speaker 1: just credit credit to uh, you know, Joe Douglas and

21
00:01:10,520 --> 00:01:12,600
Speaker 1: their drafting. They felt like they got, you know, the

22
00:01:12,600 --> 00:01:14,640
Speaker 1: best corner. They felt like they got the best receiver

23
00:01:14,680 --> 00:01:17,080
Speaker 1: in the draft, and they showed it. But it's also

24
00:01:17,319 --> 00:01:20,640
Speaker 1: the mentality that we all saw from Sauce, the first

25
00:01:20,640 --> 00:01:24,320
Speaker 1: one on the field every single day, this preparation. Uh,

26
00:01:24,360 --> 00:01:26,880
Speaker 1: it showed in the games and then you know, all

27
00:01:26,920 --> 00:01:29,000
Speaker 1: the way to that you know, Week eighteen game in

28
00:01:29,080 --> 00:01:32,160
Speaker 1: Miami where Garrett Wilson might have been you know, I mean,

29
00:01:32,240 --> 00:01:34,679
Speaker 1: I know Tyreek and Jayalen Wattle war on the field,

30
00:01:34,680 --> 00:01:36,000
Speaker 1: but he might have been the best receiver on the

31
00:01:36,000 --> 00:01:39,440
Speaker 1: field that day. Man, what a compliment. Yeah, he was

32
00:01:39,480 --> 00:01:45,040
Speaker 1: great yards receiving despite playing with four different quarterbacks. Outstanding

33
00:01:45,400 --> 00:01:49,200
Speaker 1: year for the rookie from Ohio State. Okay, so let's

34
00:01:49,240 --> 00:01:52,000
Speaker 1: fast forward to February nine. NFL honors a couple of

35
00:01:52,080 --> 00:01:57,680
Speaker 1: days before the Super Bowl. Associated Press will name the

36
00:01:57,720 --> 00:02:01,080
Speaker 1: offensive rookie here, then all the defensive rookie of the year.

37
00:02:01,120 --> 00:02:04,040
Speaker 1: Let's start on offense. Garrett Wilson is a finalist, as

38
00:02:04,200 --> 00:02:07,760
Speaker 1: is Kenneth Walker and Brock Purdy. What do you think

39
00:02:07,800 --> 00:02:12,000
Speaker 1: about Wilson's chances? I know, Purty plays quarterback Baldi and

40
00:02:12,040 --> 00:02:14,800
Speaker 1: I'm not trying to disparage anything he's done this year,

41
00:02:15,360 --> 00:02:18,920
Speaker 1: but the dude only played, I believe, in seven regular

42
00:02:18,919 --> 00:02:22,160
Speaker 1: season games. Well he started the last seven games, including

43
00:02:22,160 --> 00:02:24,920
Speaker 1: the playoff game, and he's played in eight games. But

44
00:02:25,000 --> 00:02:27,840
Speaker 1: it's gonna be hard not to take Brock Purty. I mean,

45
00:02:27,880 --> 00:02:31,560
Speaker 1: nothing against uh, what we just talked about with Garrett

46
00:02:31,880 --> 00:02:34,320
Speaker 1: and what he did all year long and with four

47
00:02:34,400 --> 00:02:38,280
Speaker 1: quarterbacks and nothing against Kenneth Walker and all the way

48
00:02:38,320 --> 00:02:42,120
Speaker 1: up into a playoff loss where he was awesome, um

49
00:02:42,160 --> 00:02:44,480
Speaker 1: and taken over you know, the starting role, you know,

50
00:02:44,919 --> 00:02:47,960
Speaker 1: early in the season. But Brock Purdy has been This

51
00:02:48,080 --> 00:02:51,560
Speaker 1: offense has never been this effective in San Francisco ever

52
00:02:52,480 --> 00:02:55,040
Speaker 1: since he took over. And I think a big reason

53
00:02:55,040 --> 00:02:58,400
Speaker 1: why they're on the doorstep of you know, this Champions

54
00:02:58,760 --> 00:03:01,079
Speaker 1: Sunday in the doorstep to this Bowl is because of

55
00:03:01,160 --> 00:03:04,080
Speaker 1: Rock Party. And it's gonna be hard, She's gonna be

56
00:03:04,080 --> 00:03:07,200
Speaker 1: hard to overlook what he has accomplished. I mean, because

57
00:03:07,240 --> 00:03:09,840
Speaker 1: it was something for a while he was it was

58
00:03:09,880 --> 00:03:12,600
Speaker 1: the system. It's a town around him and all that

59
00:03:12,720 --> 00:03:16,680
Speaker 1: is true, but he's making this thing work and nobody

60
00:03:16,720 --> 00:03:18,880
Speaker 1: could have predicted. I mean, it looks like Robert Redford

61
00:03:18,880 --> 00:03:21,480
Speaker 1: at the Natural be honest with you, like nobody could

62
00:03:21,480 --> 00:03:23,840
Speaker 1: have ever seen this coming. Everybody kept waiting for the

63
00:03:23,840 --> 00:03:25,760
Speaker 1: shoe to drop. And I don't think it's gonna drop.

64
00:03:25,760 --> 00:03:28,600
Speaker 1: Maybe in Philadelphia does on Sunday, but you know that

65
00:03:28,600 --> 00:03:30,520
Speaker 1: would even surprise me if it does. The way he's

66
00:03:30,520 --> 00:03:33,520
Speaker 1: playing the bois So as much as I would want

67
00:03:33,520 --> 00:03:35,920
Speaker 1: to give it to Garrett on you know, the night

68
00:03:35,960 --> 00:03:38,720
Speaker 1: of the Honors, I kind of think it's gonna be

69
00:03:38,720 --> 00:03:41,320
Speaker 1: hard to overlook Rock Party. The way he's like sometimes

70
00:03:41,320 --> 00:03:43,520
Speaker 1: it's how you finish e A and the way he's

71
00:03:43,520 --> 00:03:46,680
Speaker 1: finishing right now. Like you, Cameron say, okay, well he

72
00:03:46,720 --> 00:03:50,640
Speaker 1: didn't play in the first you know, ten games, Well, okay,

73
00:03:50,960 --> 00:03:54,480
Speaker 1: there's last The last eight games has been unbelievable. All right,

74
00:03:54,680 --> 00:03:57,480
Speaker 1: So props do you for dropping the Natural reference and

75
00:03:57,800 --> 00:04:02,040
Speaker 1: Robert Redford everybody loves him again. Hey, listen, Party has

76
00:04:02,080 --> 00:04:05,480
Speaker 1: been really good, no doubt about that. And he's playing

77
00:04:05,600 --> 00:04:09,560
Speaker 1: at the most important position in all professional sports. Uh

78
00:04:09,640 --> 00:04:12,000
Speaker 1: my vote. You can call me a homer, that's fine.

79
00:04:12,040 --> 00:04:14,160
Speaker 1: I'm at one Jets Drive. I give it to Wilson

80
00:04:14,200 --> 00:04:17,640
Speaker 1: because what he did the eleven yards receiving. Again, three

81
00:04:17,680 --> 00:04:21,080
Speaker 1: different starting quarterbacks this year, the Jets played four in all.

82
00:04:21,240 --> 00:04:24,200
Speaker 1: In like your point there at the end that game

83
00:04:24,240 --> 00:04:27,000
Speaker 1: against Miami, when the Dolphins had everything on the line,

84
00:04:27,040 --> 00:04:29,320
Speaker 1: you could have made the argument that the best receiver

85
00:04:29,520 --> 00:04:32,400
Speaker 1: on the field that day, in fact, was Garrett Wilson.

86
00:04:32,440 --> 00:04:35,719
Speaker 1: How about defensive rookie of the Year Sauce Gardner up

87
00:04:35,760 --> 00:04:40,520
Speaker 1: against Aidan Hutchinson, very impressive rookie himself who played with

88
00:04:40,560 --> 00:04:44,800
Speaker 1: the Lions this year. And then the late round five

89
00:04:45,200 --> 00:04:48,279
Speaker 1: fine from the Seattle Seahawks, Treke Wallan. Yeah, well, Toreck

90
00:04:48,320 --> 00:04:51,080
Speaker 1: wall and tied for the league leading interceptions like he was,

91
00:04:51,160 --> 00:04:54,800
Speaker 1: legit and to me as good as Anton Hutchinson was.

92
00:04:55,880 --> 00:04:58,760
Speaker 1: You know, their defense was not really very good for

93
00:04:58,880 --> 00:05:01,159
Speaker 1: much of the year and a l o Aiden had

94
00:05:01,200 --> 00:05:04,480
Speaker 1: a good season and played hard, and they got probably

95
00:05:04,520 --> 00:05:07,640
Speaker 1: the best pass rusher now, you know, in the draft,

96
00:05:07,680 --> 00:05:10,040
Speaker 1: I mean just from the statistic standpoint, But I gotta

97
00:05:10,080 --> 00:05:12,000
Speaker 1: give it to Sauce. I gotta give it to Sauce

98
00:05:12,040 --> 00:05:15,120
Speaker 1: because he led the league in pass his defense. Uh,

99
00:05:15,200 --> 00:05:19,159
Speaker 1: he played every snap basically, Um, you know, he tackled. Well,

100
00:05:19,560 --> 00:05:22,680
Speaker 1: he's up there with you know leading tacklers with the Jets. Um,

101
00:05:22,800 --> 00:05:24,760
Speaker 1: he played zone, he played man, He went up against

102
00:05:24,800 --> 00:05:26,800
Speaker 1: the league's best receivers. I don't care if it was

103
00:05:26,839 --> 00:05:30,640
Speaker 1: Jamaar Chase, you name a guy, and you know, he

104
00:05:30,720 --> 00:05:32,520
Speaker 1: kept him out of the end zone all year. Like,

105
00:05:32,600 --> 00:05:37,120
Speaker 1: I just think he's as and Tarik was awesome, but

106
00:05:37,160 --> 00:05:39,960
Speaker 1: their defense wasn't like the Jets defense. So I think,

107
00:05:40,000 --> 00:05:42,880
Speaker 1: you know, from a standpoint of how he helped fix

108
00:05:42,960 --> 00:05:45,040
Speaker 1: the back end of the Jets defense, DJ read and

109
00:05:45,040 --> 00:05:47,520
Speaker 1: the other side was really good. The pass rush obviously

110
00:05:47,560 --> 00:05:50,360
Speaker 1: was fierce. UM, but I I gotta give it to Sauce.

111
00:05:50,440 --> 00:05:54,200
Speaker 1: I believe that he is what a defensive rookie the

112
00:05:54,240 --> 00:05:56,559
Speaker 1: year should look like. And it's not because he plays

113
00:05:56,560 --> 00:05:59,159
Speaker 1: in New York and Tuik plays in Seattle or Aidan

114
00:05:59,200 --> 00:06:02,000
Speaker 1: plays in Detroit, you know, smaller markets Like I just

115
00:06:02,040 --> 00:06:04,440
Speaker 1: think watching all of these guys, you know week in

116
00:06:04,520 --> 00:06:09,000
Speaker 1: week out that the most consistent player was Sauce. And

117
00:06:09,000 --> 00:06:11,240
Speaker 1: there were games when he you know, we talked about it,

118
00:06:11,520 --> 00:06:13,960
Speaker 1: those games where he did not get targeted, like they

119
00:06:14,000 --> 00:06:19,120
Speaker 1: didn't throw at him once, you know, and so uh,

120
00:06:19,360 --> 00:06:22,360
Speaker 1: everybody wants more interceptions and all that those things will

121
00:06:22,440 --> 00:06:24,520
Speaker 1: come like, you're gonna have years where you have two,

122
00:06:24,839 --> 00:06:26,280
Speaker 1: and you canna have years where you gonna have eight,

123
00:06:26,680 --> 00:06:29,400
Speaker 1: you know, or more. That happens to every cornerback. I

124
00:06:29,400 --> 00:06:32,200
Speaker 1: don't care. Xavian Howard had ten last year, he had

125
00:06:32,320 --> 00:06:35,120
Speaker 1: one or two this year. It happens. It's just the

126
00:06:35,200 --> 00:06:38,400
Speaker 1: nature of the cornerback position. I just think that sauce

127
00:06:39,120 --> 00:06:44,000
Speaker 1: Um to me, should be the recipient of this award. Yeah,

128
00:06:44,000 --> 00:06:45,760
Speaker 1: you could make the argument that he was the top

129
00:06:45,800 --> 00:06:48,240
Speaker 1: cornerback in the National Football League this year, not just

130
00:06:48,279 --> 00:06:50,320
Speaker 1: a defensive Rookie of the Year, but maybe he was

131
00:06:50,360 --> 00:06:54,320
Speaker 1: the top cornerback out of everybody. But if you didn't

132
00:06:54,360 --> 00:06:56,920
Speaker 1: know he was a rookie, you wouldn't you wouldn't know

133
00:06:57,560 --> 00:06:59,120
Speaker 1: that he was a rookie, you know what I mean.

134
00:06:59,160 --> 00:07:02,560
Speaker 1: Like he played like a veteran corner, a great veteran corner,

135
00:07:02,760 --> 00:07:06,799
Speaker 1: but like not many guys you know, have sauce size, length, speed,

136
00:07:07,040 --> 00:07:12,520
Speaker 1: makeup speed, poise, eyes, like tackling. Like there's very few

137
00:07:12,560 --> 00:07:16,560
Speaker 1: players in this whole league that has the combination of

138
00:07:16,640 --> 00:07:19,760
Speaker 1: skills and talent that he has. Let's go from elite

139
00:07:19,840 --> 00:07:24,160
Speaker 1: cornerback to elite cornerback. Darrell Reevs one of five first

140
00:07:24,280 --> 00:07:28,239
Speaker 1: time finalists eligible for the Pro Football Hall of Fame.

141
00:07:28,560 --> 00:07:32,200
Speaker 1: Reeves career numbers twenty five interceptions, a hundred and twelve

142
00:07:32,560 --> 00:07:36,520
Speaker 1: p ds. UH. He was also a four time first

143
00:07:36,560 --> 00:07:40,000
Speaker 1: team All Pro seven time Pro Bowl selection. What do

144
00:07:40,000 --> 00:07:45,160
Speaker 1: you think about reeves chances of getting in? On February

145
00:07:45,200 --> 00:07:48,640
Speaker 1: nine at NFL Honors, Well, there was a five year

146
00:07:48,680 --> 00:07:52,320
Speaker 1: stretch where Durrell Reeves not only was the best corner

147
00:07:52,560 --> 00:07:55,000
Speaker 1: in the Naster Football League, he was arguably the best

148
00:07:55,000 --> 00:07:58,000
Speaker 1: defensive player. Because if you're gonna say this is the

149
00:07:58,000 --> 00:08:00,200
Speaker 1: passing league, we know it is. I don't care where

150
00:08:00,200 --> 00:08:01,920
Speaker 1: he went up against. I don't care if was Chad

151
00:08:01,960 --> 00:08:05,000
Speaker 1: Johnson or you know, Reggie Wayne. It didn't matter. Uh,

152
00:08:05,080 --> 00:08:09,040
Speaker 1: big games, playoff games, Um, it didn't matter. Like Darrell

153
00:08:09,120 --> 00:08:12,480
Speaker 1: Reeves was the best player on the field. And you know,

154
00:08:12,600 --> 00:08:14,600
Speaker 1: I know it was a five or six year stretch.

155
00:08:15,360 --> 00:08:18,280
Speaker 1: But if you're the best player in the league, like

156
00:08:18,640 --> 00:08:20,640
Speaker 1: you'd like to say, okay, he was the best player

157
00:08:20,640 --> 00:08:22,560
Speaker 1: for a decade, like Charles Woodson was the best player

158
00:08:22,600 --> 00:08:25,080
Speaker 1: for a whole decade. Rod Woodson was the best player

159
00:08:25,120 --> 00:08:27,720
Speaker 1: for a decade or more. All that stuff, But I

160
00:08:27,800 --> 00:08:31,000
Speaker 1: just think in that period of time, especially with Rex,

161
00:08:31,480 --> 00:08:34,120
Speaker 1: and I think Rex came a year after he was

162
00:08:34,160 --> 00:08:38,360
Speaker 1: in the league. Um, I just think for that stretch,

163
00:08:39,080 --> 00:08:41,000
Speaker 1: nobody could beat him. I don't care if Randy Moss,

164
00:08:41,080 --> 00:08:43,280
Speaker 1: you know, pick up an elite player. They couldn't beat

165
00:08:43,320 --> 00:08:46,800
Speaker 1: Darrell Reeves week in week out. And so, you know,

166
00:08:47,320 --> 00:08:50,160
Speaker 1: because he played press man and he shut guys down,

167
00:08:50,520 --> 00:08:53,320
Speaker 1: he didn't get the interceptions that zone corners getting like

168
00:08:53,400 --> 00:08:56,000
Speaker 1: Rex wasn't playing that style of football. Rex was challenging

169
00:08:56,080 --> 00:08:58,400
Speaker 1: with the line of scrimmage, challenging every throw. You're not

170
00:08:58,400 --> 00:09:01,400
Speaker 1: gonna get interceptions in that way. Like if he played

171
00:09:01,559 --> 00:09:04,400
Speaker 1: off the ball and he wasn't pressing every play, he'd

172
00:09:04,400 --> 00:09:07,200
Speaker 1: probably be in the forties, you know, interception wise. But

173
00:09:07,600 --> 00:09:09,199
Speaker 1: so you can't look at the numbers. You have to

174
00:09:09,240 --> 00:09:11,920
Speaker 1: look at how he shut guys down, and we've never

175
00:09:11,960 --> 00:09:13,600
Speaker 1: seen a guy like it. You could go back, Okay,

176
00:09:13,640 --> 00:09:16,200
Speaker 1: maybe Dion did that, but really you can't look at

177
00:09:16,200 --> 00:09:18,560
Speaker 1: anybody else has played this game that played it the

178
00:09:18,559 --> 00:09:21,120
Speaker 1: way Darrell Reevers did. You could talk to Brandon Marshall

179
00:09:21,160 --> 00:09:22,920
Speaker 1: when he was in Chicago and he tell you why

180
00:09:23,240 --> 00:09:25,319
Speaker 1: Durrell Reevers was the best corner in the league, and

181
00:09:25,320 --> 00:09:28,240
Speaker 1: then they became teammates and it was just iron sharping iron.

182
00:09:28,280 --> 00:09:30,600
Speaker 1: In two thousand and fifteen, those guys are going up

183
00:09:30,600 --> 00:09:33,360
Speaker 1: against each other every day in practice. Yeah, I think

184
00:09:35,000 --> 00:09:37,840
Speaker 1: he was a masterful technician and he was so fun

185
00:09:37,880 --> 00:09:40,480
Speaker 1: to watch it practice. That's one of the things I

186
00:09:40,520 --> 00:09:45,040
Speaker 1: think people love about you is that you're jumping from

187
00:09:45,080 --> 00:09:47,320
Speaker 1: team to team and you love going out there and

188
00:09:47,360 --> 00:09:51,040
Speaker 1: watching practices. Remember we were doing an NFL Network show

189
00:09:51,760 --> 00:09:54,199
Speaker 1: two thousand and fifteen and there was Darrell Reevers and

190
00:09:54,200 --> 00:09:56,480
Speaker 1: Brandon Marshall going out at in training camp, and you

191
00:09:56,480 --> 00:09:58,680
Speaker 1: would have thought it was the fourth quarter of a

192
00:09:58,679 --> 00:10:01,040
Speaker 1: playoff game the way they were going at it. Like

193
00:10:01,120 --> 00:10:03,080
Speaker 1: you wonder why he could do what he did in

194
00:10:03,080 --> 00:10:06,760
Speaker 1: the games, how he practiced. I believe that is the

195
00:10:06,800 --> 00:10:09,439
Speaker 1: first bout Hall of Famer that somebody people will say, well,

196
00:10:09,440 --> 00:10:10,959
Speaker 1: he doesn't have enough stats, he didn't do it for

197
00:10:10,960 --> 00:10:12,680
Speaker 1: a long period. I mean, I know all the arguments

198
00:10:12,679 --> 00:10:15,800
Speaker 1: against it. I just know that we haven't seen a

199
00:10:15,800 --> 00:10:18,680
Speaker 1: player like that in this league since he left the league,

200
00:10:19,040 --> 00:10:21,000
Speaker 1: ever since he came in the league in two thousand seven.

201
00:10:21,240 --> 00:10:22,959
Speaker 1: To me, he first I told him that when we

202
00:10:23,000 --> 00:10:25,560
Speaker 1: saw him at the Jets, Uh, you know, the home

203
00:10:25,600 --> 00:10:28,320
Speaker 1: game late in the year. I believe is the first

204
00:10:28,320 --> 00:10:32,240
Speaker 1: bout Hall of Famer and I'll regardless of what happens,

205
00:10:32,280 --> 00:10:34,200
Speaker 1: that's my belief. And that's if I was a vote,

206
00:10:34,240 --> 00:10:37,440
Speaker 1: that's how I would vote. Yeah, I think sometimes we

207
00:10:38,080 --> 00:10:42,800
Speaker 1: overuse the word great. Durrell Reevus was a great player.

208
00:10:43,000 --> 00:10:45,000
Speaker 1: And if you were an offensive coordinator and you were

209
00:10:45,040 --> 00:10:47,760
Speaker 1: a quarterback, you were preparing for a game on Sunday

210
00:10:47,800 --> 00:10:51,400
Speaker 1: and it was Monday or Tuesday, you're focusing a lot

211
00:10:51,440 --> 00:10:55,280
Speaker 1: in your your your plan, staying away from twenty four

212
00:10:55,360 --> 00:10:59,840
Speaker 1: to your point and even target inside of the field. Well,

213
00:10:59,840 --> 00:11:02,560
Speaker 1: I smember when he was coming out of pit so

214
00:11:03,480 --> 00:11:08,000
Speaker 1: I that year two thousand and seven, that preparation for

215
00:11:08,040 --> 00:11:12,000
Speaker 1: the draft, I didn't look at one note on one player.

216
00:11:12,720 --> 00:11:14,520
Speaker 1: I just wanted to turn the film on and see

217
00:11:14,559 --> 00:11:16,880
Speaker 1: how fast they could find a player, Like how fast

218
00:11:16,920 --> 00:11:19,400
Speaker 1: can I find? I didn't know what Darrell Reeves number was.

219
00:11:19,800 --> 00:11:22,000
Speaker 1: I didn't know what Corn White v was, a boundary

220
00:11:22,000 --> 00:11:24,480
Speaker 1: corner or zone. I didn't know anything. I just said,

221
00:11:24,480 --> 00:11:27,080
Speaker 1: I'm sure I did this with every player that was

222
00:11:27,200 --> 00:11:29,280
Speaker 1: basically a first round pick in two thousand seven. I

223
00:11:29,320 --> 00:11:31,760
Speaker 1: just want to see if my eyes could find that

224
00:11:31,880 --> 00:11:35,640
Speaker 1: player in three plays. So I tried to pick game

225
00:11:35,679 --> 00:11:38,000
Speaker 1: on two seven. I found Darrell Reeves, Like on the

226
00:11:38,000 --> 00:11:40,520
Speaker 1: second play of the game. I just I just the

227
00:11:40,559 --> 00:11:43,360
Speaker 1: way he moved, the way he pressed, the way, how

228
00:11:43,400 --> 00:11:46,600
Speaker 1: strong he was, how he tackled. Like it happened so fast.

229
00:11:46,880 --> 00:11:48,920
Speaker 1: I was like, Okay, this is Darrell Reeves, is what

230
00:11:48,920 --> 00:11:52,360
Speaker 1: they're talking about. And so I like, I don't remember

231
00:11:52,480 --> 00:11:54,240
Speaker 1: like everybody in the draft class that year he a

232
00:11:54,400 --> 00:12:00,720
Speaker 1: but that's how I discovered. You know, Durrell Joel kle overdue.

233
00:12:00,880 --> 00:12:03,840
Speaker 1: It seems like he's finally gonna get that stamp he

234
00:12:03,880 --> 00:12:07,560
Speaker 1: needs of the vote. If you look at recent history

235
00:12:07,640 --> 00:12:13,000
Speaker 1: of Senior finalists, he's already crossed his largest hurdle. It's

236
00:12:13,080 --> 00:12:15,160
Speaker 1: just one more to go. What can you say about

237
00:12:15,240 --> 00:12:19,720
Speaker 1: Cleco and your expectations of what that's actually gonna mean

238
00:12:19,760 --> 00:12:23,520
Speaker 1: to him, for him to finally take his place in

239
00:12:23,640 --> 00:12:27,080
Speaker 1: Canton after the wait has been so long. We're all

240
00:12:27,080 --> 00:12:30,960
Speaker 1: gonna celebrate, you know, Durrell and Joe in Canton this summer. Okay,

241
00:12:31,000 --> 00:12:33,720
Speaker 1: we're all we're all gonna be there for it. Um.

242
00:12:33,760 --> 00:12:35,880
Speaker 1: So I played twelve years in the league e A.

243
00:12:36,160 --> 00:12:38,720
Speaker 1: And I played five more years, probably than I should

244
00:12:38,720 --> 00:12:42,880
Speaker 1: have because, uh, I became a teammate. Joe became a

245
00:12:42,880 --> 00:12:48,040
Speaker 1: teammate of mine in Indianapolis in two thousand, nineteen eight.

246
00:12:48,120 --> 00:12:50,800
Speaker 1: Joke plecos last year in the league was indian Appolis,

247
00:12:51,360 --> 00:12:55,760
Speaker 1: and I discovered what the weight room was truly about.

248
00:12:56,320 --> 00:13:00,520
Speaker 1: Functional straight, great strength, And I joke, Cleck taught me

249
00:13:00,520 --> 00:13:03,600
Speaker 1: how to lift weights. Literally after seven years in the league,

250
00:13:03,600 --> 00:13:06,320
Speaker 1: he taught me how to lift weights. And I survived

251
00:13:06,320 --> 00:13:08,640
Speaker 1: another five years because of that, Like I owe Joe

252
00:13:09,120 --> 00:13:12,240
Speaker 1: five years of my career. Um that he was just

253
00:13:13,360 --> 00:13:18,360
Speaker 1: so strong obviously, you know, pro bowl at three different positions. Uh,

254
00:13:18,360 --> 00:13:20,840
Speaker 1: it's never really been done before. Uh. He was just

255
00:13:21,200 --> 00:13:25,520
Speaker 1: uh he was so smart and so strong. Um, you know,

256
00:13:25,640 --> 00:13:27,760
Speaker 1: just physically. I mean I think he could still physically

257
00:13:27,800 --> 00:13:32,439
Speaker 1: whip people right now. But you know, the hands, the footwork,

258
00:13:32,679 --> 00:13:35,640
Speaker 1: the functional strength that he had. I mean he was

259
00:13:35,679 --> 00:13:38,120
Speaker 1: still you know, squatting six hundred pounds on Monday after

260
00:13:38,240 --> 00:13:42,000
Speaker 1: game in I don't know what year that was, thirteen, fourteen,

261
00:13:42,000 --> 00:13:44,080
Speaker 1: I don't remember. Um, you know, at the end of

262
00:13:44,080 --> 00:13:45,920
Speaker 1: his career, he was still squatting six hundred pounds a

263
00:13:46,000 --> 00:13:49,280
Speaker 1: day after you know, a football game. Um, you know,

264
00:13:49,679 --> 00:13:53,120
Speaker 1: he maintained his strength throughout. He might probably got stronger

265
00:13:53,160 --> 00:13:56,480
Speaker 1: all the way until the very end. But Joe, Joe's

266
00:13:56,480 --> 00:13:58,480
Speaker 1: getting into the Hall of Fame this summer like that.

267
00:13:58,640 --> 00:14:00,559
Speaker 1: He's not going to be denied. And it's gonna be

268
00:14:00,640 --> 00:14:05,800
Speaker 1: a good choice. It's gonna be something special. If listen,

269
00:14:05,800 --> 00:14:10,040

Speaker 1: various news outlets. Let me throw some at you. Chatout

291
00:15:34,640 --> 00:15:40,800
Speaker 1: chet O'sheay, Nick Kyley, Kevin Putulo, Brian Johnson, Nathaniel Hackett,

292
00:15:41,400 --> 00:15:44,960
Speaker 1: Clint Kubiak, Frank Reich. He's interviewing for a number of

293
00:15:44,960 --> 00:15:50,440
Speaker 1: head coaching jobs right now, Marcus Brady um and there

294
00:15:50,480 --> 00:15:53,240
Speaker 1: are a few others out there. Obviously we're all seeing

295
00:15:53,280 --> 00:15:56,760
Speaker 1: the reports come in. Uh, what have you thought about

296
00:15:56,840 --> 00:16:00,200
Speaker 1: the names that you've heard? And also can you talk

297
00:16:00,240 --> 00:16:03,000
Speaker 1: about a general direction you think Robert Sale and Joe

298
00:16:03,040 --> 00:16:04,800
Speaker 1: Douglas have to go in here? Well, I think they

299
00:16:04,840 --> 00:16:06,960
Speaker 1: needed to make a change. I think a change well,

300
00:16:07,000 --> 00:16:09,120
Speaker 1: you know, I mean you could blame the offensive line

301
00:16:09,120 --> 00:16:11,200
Speaker 1: and this function up front with all you do, all

302
00:16:11,240 --> 00:16:12,600
Speaker 1: you want to do. I think they had to make

303
00:16:12,640 --> 00:16:16,160
Speaker 1: a change all right. Of all the names mentioned, there

304
00:16:16,200 --> 00:16:19,200
Speaker 1: was a lot of good quality and qualified people on

305
00:16:19,200 --> 00:16:22,400
Speaker 1: that list. When I heard Clint Kobieck's name, like my

306
00:16:22,480 --> 00:16:25,440
Speaker 1: eyes went like that that just registered with me. Joe

307
00:16:25,480 --> 00:16:29,960
Speaker 1: Douglas knew his father in Baltimore. Um, you know, they

308
00:16:29,960 --> 00:16:32,320
Speaker 1: had a great they had a great run when he

309
00:16:32,400 --> 00:16:36,640
Speaker 1: was there. His son is very similar in his approach

310
00:16:37,240 --> 00:16:41,840
Speaker 1: and how it's supposed to look and what the demands are. Um.

311
00:16:42,480 --> 00:16:46,600
Speaker 1: I I feel like that's a name that and he's

312
00:16:46,600 --> 00:16:49,480
Speaker 1: a young guy that understands the game, been around the

313
00:16:49,480 --> 00:16:52,920
Speaker 1: game his whole life. I think he's got real ability

314
00:16:52,920 --> 00:16:56,800
Speaker 1: to teach and to take the skill that the Jets

315
00:16:56,800 --> 00:17:00,880
Speaker 1: have to another level. UM. And so I feel like

316
00:17:01,680 --> 00:17:04,280
Speaker 1: that's the name that I keep coming back to. When

317
00:17:04,280 --> 00:17:06,560
Speaker 1: I saw all the names and all the interviews that

318
00:17:06,600 --> 00:17:10,960
Speaker 1: they had, Clint Kubiak to me, seemed like a fit,

319
00:17:11,119 --> 00:17:14,800
Speaker 1: a really good fit for this offense. Do you anticipate

320
00:17:15,520 --> 00:17:19,000
Speaker 1: Reich getting a head coaching job? People are reporting now

321
00:17:19,080 --> 00:17:22,399
Speaker 1: that he's getting a second interview with the Carolina Panthers.

322
00:17:22,480 --> 00:17:25,720
Speaker 1: Arizona has been named as a possible destination for him

323
00:17:25,800 --> 00:17:28,320
Speaker 1: if he doesn't land a head coaching job. Do you

324
00:17:28,359 --> 00:17:31,520
Speaker 1: think that he might be a possibility for the Jets.

325
00:17:31,600 --> 00:17:33,480
Speaker 1: It's a possibility. I mean, Frank could go back to

326
00:17:33,520 --> 00:17:35,520
Speaker 1: that role, but I think he wants to be a

327
00:17:35,520 --> 00:17:38,359
Speaker 1: head coach. I know Frank. I mean I played with

328
00:17:38,400 --> 00:17:40,640
Speaker 1: Frank when he was back up to Jim Kelly and Buffalo.

329
00:17:40,960 --> 00:17:44,040
Speaker 1: My brother played with my normal a long time. Um,

330
00:17:44,080 --> 00:17:48,200
Speaker 1: I think he is. Yeah, he just has a real command.

331
00:17:48,359 --> 00:17:51,520
Speaker 1: He has a command of the league. He has a

332
00:17:51,560 --> 00:17:55,879
Speaker 1: command of game, day of preparation, like there was just

333
00:17:56,560 --> 00:17:59,919
Speaker 1: like anybody that would give Frank a second chance as

334
00:18:00,080 --> 00:18:03,280
Speaker 1: head coach, I think they would benefit by and I

335
00:18:03,320 --> 00:18:05,600
Speaker 1: just think that's where he's at right now. Yeah, he

336
00:18:05,640 --> 00:18:08,040
Speaker 1: did a good job in Indianapolis. I think five seasons,

337
00:18:08,040 --> 00:18:13,080
Speaker 1: forty three and one overall. Uh, he did a fine

338
00:18:13,200 --> 00:18:16,280
Speaker 1: job there in Indianapolis. They're searching for a head coach

339
00:18:16,400 --> 00:18:20,000
Speaker 1: right now themselves. Again to Kubiak, let me circle back

340
00:18:20,000 --> 00:18:23,639
Speaker 1: on that real quick. What do you think about that background?

341
00:18:23,680 --> 00:18:28,919
Speaker 1: How much that helps him, um in his coaching life

342
00:18:29,000 --> 00:18:33,760
Speaker 1: as far as growing up with Gary Kubiak, Oh, I mean,

343
00:18:33,800 --> 00:18:36,640
Speaker 1: I just think everything just kind of goes from father

344
00:18:36,720 --> 00:18:39,800
Speaker 1: to son. I just think all those all those traits

345
00:18:39,880 --> 00:18:43,440
Speaker 1: that his father had going back to the Shanahan years, um,

346
00:18:43,760 --> 00:18:45,879
Speaker 1: all transfer and we're seeing what Kyle is doing right now.

347
00:18:45,960 --> 00:18:51,280
Speaker 1: I think Clint has much of the same attributes. Okay,

348
00:18:51,400 --> 00:18:58,119
Speaker 1: uh quarterbacks veteran quarterbacks right now. Aaron Rodgers UH was

349
00:18:58,160 --> 00:19:01,840
Speaker 1: on Pat McAfee saying, you know, we gotta have some

350
00:19:01,880 --> 00:19:05,760
Speaker 1: conversations with Green Bay Packers. ESPN Adam Schefter reported that

351
00:19:06,080 --> 00:19:11,000
Speaker 1: it's a very real possibility that Rogers could be traded

352
00:19:11,440 --> 00:19:14,639
Speaker 1: this year. Now, with all that being said, do you

353
00:19:14,680 --> 00:19:18,240
Speaker 1: anticipate Rogers playing next year? And if you do, do

354
00:19:18,280 --> 00:19:22,239
Speaker 1: you anticipate him playing with another team? I really don't know,

355
00:19:22,320 --> 00:19:25,400
Speaker 1: e a I don't know where Aaron's at right now.

356
00:19:25,760 --> 00:19:28,359
Speaker 1: I'm sure he wants to keep playing, UM, but I

357
00:19:28,400 --> 00:19:30,239
Speaker 1: don't think it's gonna be in Green Bay. I think

358
00:19:30,320 --> 00:19:33,440
Speaker 1: he's gonna be a free agent out there. I mean trade.

359
00:19:33,480 --> 00:19:34,800
Speaker 1: I don't know how. I don't know how all this

360
00:19:34,880 --> 00:19:37,760
Speaker 1: thing happens, but I think Green Bay is ready to

361
00:19:37,760 --> 00:19:40,280
Speaker 1: move on. And it wouldn't surprise me if Aaron Rodgers

362
00:19:40,320 --> 00:19:43,240
Speaker 1: is ready to move on. And if you're the Jets,

363
00:19:43,720 --> 00:19:46,680
Speaker 1: and if that indeed is on the table, as far

364
00:19:46,720 --> 00:19:51,879
Speaker 1: as Rogers, do you make a call. I'd make a call.

365
00:19:52,040 --> 00:19:54,439
Speaker 1: But I just think the Jets have a lot of

366
00:19:54,480 --> 00:19:57,600
Speaker 1: young talent. I just think that that's the wrong move.

367
00:19:57,720 --> 00:20:01,880
Speaker 1: I don't think I don't think they're one quarterback away

368
00:20:01,920 --> 00:20:04,320
Speaker 1: from winning a Super Bowl, Like I just don't believe

369
00:20:05,200 --> 00:20:06,919
Speaker 1: they're ready for that yet. I think they can be

370
00:20:06,960 --> 00:20:09,439
Speaker 1: a playoff team next year, and I think you know,

371
00:20:09,440 --> 00:20:12,240
Speaker 1: and Aaron Rodgers could help them get there. I just

372
00:20:12,320 --> 00:20:15,240
Speaker 1: think you got to build this thing for the long haul. EA,

373
00:20:15,359 --> 00:20:16,800
Speaker 1: and I just think you gotta go young. You got

374
00:20:16,840 --> 00:20:18,919
Speaker 1: all these young talent that they drafted last year that

375
00:20:18,960 --> 00:20:21,200
Speaker 1: they've been drafting. I just feel like they just need

376
00:20:21,240 --> 00:20:24,600
Speaker 1: a young guy to grow with everything and be there

377
00:20:24,640 --> 00:20:27,320
Speaker 1: every day, be committed every day, not a guy at

378
00:20:27,320 --> 00:20:29,720
Speaker 1: the end of the career where they're just looking for

379
00:20:29,840 --> 00:20:33,240
Speaker 1: that steady quarterback to walk in. What about Derek Carr.

380
00:20:33,280 --> 00:20:36,320
Speaker 1: Most people think that Derek Car's guy. Would definitely talk

381
00:20:36,359 --> 00:20:38,679
Speaker 1: to I mean, definitely talk to Derek Carr if he

382
00:20:38,720 --> 00:20:41,879
Speaker 1: becomes available. Obviously we're talking hypotheticals and a lot of

383
00:20:41,880 --> 00:20:44,680
Speaker 1: people they've cut the cord there, so however you get there.

384
00:20:44,680 --> 00:20:47,320
Speaker 1: But you know you're talking about a big contract e A.

385
00:20:48,000 --> 00:20:50,680
Speaker 1: That's gonna make it difficult to keep a lot of

386
00:20:50,800 --> 00:20:54,080
Speaker 1: veteran players. You know, when you start paying your quarterback

387
00:20:54,119 --> 00:20:58,600
Speaker 1: as much as you gotta pay him. So anyways, you

388
00:20:58,680 --> 00:21:02,160
Speaker 1: anticipate Lamar jack Sin being in Baltimore next year, No,

389
00:21:02,200 --> 00:21:04,440
Speaker 1: I don't. I think, you know. I think it's gonna

390
00:21:04,440 --> 00:21:06,960
Speaker 1: be a difficult contract. I think this thing is gonna

391
00:21:06,960 --> 00:21:08,360
Speaker 1: get drawn out. I don't think he's going to play

392
00:21:08,359 --> 00:21:11,280
Speaker 1: in a franchise tag and I think that's where it's headed. Um,

393
00:21:11,359 --> 00:21:15,320
Speaker 1: I know what's been said, but I gotta I gotta

394
00:21:15,359 --> 00:21:18,600
Speaker 1: go right now. But I think Lamar is. I think

395
00:21:18,600 --> 00:21:21,600
Speaker 1: there there could be a real court cutting right there. Okay, Baldi,

396
00:21:21,720 --> 00:21:23,680
Speaker 1: good stuff, Get back to work, brother,
