<v Speaker 1>Eric Gallen here in Flora Park, New Jersey. Brian Baldinger

0:00:20.880 --> 0:00:24.840
<v Speaker 1>out on the West Coast in California. Baldi Howard things

0:00:24.880 --> 0:00:28.120
<v Speaker 1>in l A, Well, it's you know, Championship Sunday week,

0:00:28.160 --> 0:00:30.440
<v Speaker 1>you know, so it's a it's all football all the time.

0:00:30.480 --> 0:00:33.280
<v Speaker 1>And we're right now just kind of breaking the game

0:00:33.280 --> 0:00:36.800
<v Speaker 1>down and talking about the storylines. Is Patrick mahomes ankle

0:00:36.880 --> 0:00:39.440
<v Speaker 1>gonna hold I mean, all the stuff. So it's great

0:00:39.520 --> 0:00:42.040
<v Speaker 1>because it's it's just all football right now. Yeah, and

0:00:42.040 --> 0:00:45.360
<v Speaker 1>that's kind of what I prefer. Hey, the Jets are

0:00:45.360 --> 0:00:48.279
<v Speaker 1>still in the news though, Baldi. How about yesterday Pro

0:00:48.360 --> 0:00:53.040
<v Speaker 1>Football Writers Association naming Sauce Gardner in the two thousand

0:00:53.120 --> 0:00:56.880
<v Speaker 1>two NFL Rookie of the Year, did the Defensive Rookie

0:00:56.920 --> 0:00:59.680
<v Speaker 1>of the Year and ed Garrett Wilson offensive Rookie. There

0:01:00.000 --> 0:01:01.680
<v Speaker 1>I was. It was a great draft class. You know,

0:01:01.840 --> 0:01:04.560
<v Speaker 1>if Priests stayed healthy all year, maybe he would have

0:01:04.600 --> 0:01:07.319
<v Speaker 1>been somewhere in the mix as well. But it's just

0:01:07.319 --> 0:01:10.520
<v Speaker 1>just credit credit to uh, you know, Joe Douglas and

0:01:10.520 --> 0:01:12.600
<v Speaker 1>their drafting. They felt like they got, you know, the

0:01:12.600 --> 0:01:14.640
<v Speaker 1>best corner. They felt like they got the best receiver

0:01:14.680 --> 0:01:17.080
<v Speaker 1>in the draft, and they showed it. But it's also

0:01:17.319 --> 0:01:20.640
<v Speaker 1>the mentality that we all saw from Sauce, the first

0:01:20.640 --> 0:01:24.320
<v Speaker 1>one on the field every single day, this preparation. Uh,

0:01:24.360 --> 0:01:26.880
<v Speaker 1>it showed in the games and then you know, all

0:01:26.920 --> 0:01:29.000
<v Speaker 1>the way to that you know, Week eighteen game in

0:01:29.080 --> 0:01:32.160
<v Speaker 1>Miami where Garrett Wilson might have been you know, I mean,

0:01:32.240 --> 0:01:34.679
<v Speaker 1>I know Tyreek and Jayalen Wattle war on the field,

0:01:34.680 --> 0:01:36.000
<v Speaker 1>but he might have been the best receiver on the

0:01:36.000 --> 0:01:39.440
<v Speaker 1>field that day. Man, what a compliment. Yeah, he was

0:01:39.480 --> 0:01:45.040
<v Speaker 1>great yards receiving despite playing with four different quarterbacks. Outstanding

0:01:45.400 --> 0:01:49.200
<v Speaker 1>year for the rookie from Ohio State. Okay, so let's

0:01:49.240 --> 0:01:52.000
<v Speaker 1>fast forward to February nine. NFL honors a couple of

0:01:52.080 --> 0:01:57.680
<v Speaker 1>days before the Super Bowl. Associated Press will name the

0:01:57.720 --> 0:02:01.080
<v Speaker 1>offensive rookie here, then all the defensive rookie of the year.

0:02:01.120 --> 0:02:04.040
<v Speaker 1>Let's start on offense. Garrett Wilson is a finalist, as

0:02:04.200 --> 0:02:07.760
<v Speaker 1>is Kenneth Walker and Brock Purdy. What do you think

0:02:07.800 --> 0:02:12.000
<v Speaker 1>about Wilson's chances? I know, Purty plays quarterback Baldi and

0:02:12.040 --> 0:02:14.800
<v Speaker 1>I'm not trying to disparage anything he's done this year,

0:02:15.360 --> 0:02:18.920
<v Speaker 1>but the dude only played, I believe, in seven regular

0:02:18.919 --> 0:02:22.160
<v Speaker 1>season games. Well he started the last seven games, including

0:02:22.160 --> 0:02:24.920
<v Speaker 1>the playoff game, and he's played in eight games. But

0:02:25.000 --> 0:02:27.840
<v Speaker 1>it's gonna be hard not to take Brock Purty. I mean,

0:02:27.880 --> 0:02:31.560
<v Speaker 1>nothing against uh, what we just talked about with Garrett

0:02:31.880 --> 0:02:34.320
<v Speaker 1>and what he did all year long and with four

0:02:34.400 --> 0:02:38.280
<v Speaker 1>quarterbacks and nothing against Kenneth Walker and all the way

0:02:38.320 --> 0:02:42.120
<v Speaker 1>up into a playoff loss where he was awesome, um

0:02:42.160 --> 0:02:44.480
<v Speaker 1>and taken over you know, the starting role, you know,

0:02:44.919 --> 0:02:47.960
<v Speaker 1>early in the season. But Brock Purdy has been This

0:02:48.080 --> 0:02:51.560
<v Speaker 1>offense has never been this effective in San Francisco ever

0:02:52.480 --> 0:02:55.040
<v Speaker 1>since he took over. And I think a big reason

0:02:55.040 --> 0:02:58.400
<v Speaker 1>why they're on the doorstep of you know, this Champions

0:02:58.760 --> 0:03:01.079
<v Speaker 1>Sunday in the doorstep to this Bowl is because of

0:03:01.160 --> 0:03:04.080
<v Speaker 1>Rock Party. And it's gonna be hard, She's gonna be

0:03:04.080 --> 0:03:07.200
<v Speaker 1>hard to overlook what he has accomplished. I mean, because

0:03:07.240 --> 0:03:09.840
<v Speaker 1>it was something for a while he was it was

0:03:09.880 --> 0:03:12.600
<v Speaker 1>the system. It's a town around him and all that

0:03:12.720 --> 0:03:16.680
<v Speaker 1>is true, but he's making this thing work and nobody

0:03:16.720 --> 0:03:18.880
<v Speaker 1>could have predicted. I mean, it looks like Robert Redford

0:03:18.880 --> 0:03:21.480
<v Speaker 1>at the Natural be honest with you, like nobody could

0:03:21.480 --> 0:03:23.840
<v Speaker 1>have ever seen this coming. Everybody kept waiting for the

0:03:23.840 --> 0:03:25.760
<v Speaker 1>shoe to drop. And I don't think it's gonna drop.

0:03:25.760 --> 0:03:28.600
<v Speaker 1>Maybe in Philadelphia does on Sunday, but you know that

0:03:28.600 --> 0:03:30.520
<v Speaker 1>would even surprise me if it does. The way he's

0:03:30.520 --> 0:03:33.520
<v Speaker 1>playing the bois So as much as I would want

0:03:33.520 --> 0:03:35.920
<v Speaker 1>to give it to Garrett on you know, the night

0:03:35.960 --> 0:03:38.720
<v Speaker 1>of the Honors, I kind of think it's gonna be

0:03:38.720 --> 0:03:41.320
<v Speaker 1>hard to overlook Rock Party. The way he's like sometimes

0:03:41.320 --> 0:03:43.520
<v Speaker 1>it's how you finish e A and the way he's

0:03:43.520 --> 0:03:46.680
<v Speaker 1>finishing right now. Like you, Cameron say, okay, well he

0:03:46.720 --> 0:03:50.640
<v Speaker 1>didn't play in the first you know, ten games, Well, okay,

0:03:50.960 --> 0:03:54.480
<v Speaker 1>there's last The last eight games has been unbelievable. All right,

0:03:54.680 --> 0:03:57.480
<v Speaker 1>So props do you for dropping the Natural reference and

0:03:57.800 --> 0:04:02.040
<v Speaker 1>Robert Redford everybody loves him again. Hey, listen, Party has

0:04:02.080 --> 0:04:05.480
<v Speaker 1>been really good, no doubt about that. And he's playing

0:04:05.600 --> 0:04:09.560
<v Speaker 1>at the most important position in all professional sports. Uh

0:04:09.640 --> 0:04:12.000
<v Speaker 1>my vote. You can call me a homer, that's fine.

0:04:12.040 --> 0:04:14.160
<v Speaker 1>I'm at one Jets Drive. I give it to Wilson

0:04:14.200 --> 0:04:17.640
<v Speaker 1>because what he did the eleven yards receiving. Again, three

0:04:17.680 --> 0:04:21.080
<v Speaker 1>different starting quarterbacks this year, the Jets played four in all.

0:04:21.240 --> 0:04:24.200
<v Speaker 1>In like your point there at the end that game

0:04:24.240 --> 0:04:27.000
<v Speaker 1>against Miami, when the Dolphins had everything on the line,

0:04:27.040 --> 0:04:29.320
<v Speaker 1>you could have made the argument that the best receiver

0:04:29.520 --> 0:04:32.400
<v Speaker 1>on the field that day, in fact, was Garrett Wilson.

0:04:32.440 --> 0:04:35.719
<v Speaker 1>How about defensive rookie of the Year Sauce Gardner up

0:04:35.760 --> 0:04:40.520
<v Speaker 1>against Aidan Hutchinson, very impressive rookie himself who played with

0:04:40.560 --> 0:04:44.800
<v Speaker 1>the Lions this year. And then the late round five

0:04:45.200 --> 0:04:48.279
<v Speaker 1>fine from the Seattle Seahawks, Treke Wallan. Yeah, well, Toreck

0:04:48.320 --> 0:04:51.080
<v Speaker 1>wall and tied for the league leading interceptions like he was,

0:04:51.160 --> 0:04:54.800
<v Speaker 1>legit and to me as good as Anton Hutchinson was.

0:04:55.880 --> 0:04:58.760
<v Speaker 1>You know, their defense was not really very good for

0:04:58.880 --> 0:05:01.159
<v Speaker 1>much of the year and a l o Aiden had

0:05:01.200 --> 0:05:04.480
<v Speaker 1>a good season and played hard, and they got probably

0:05:04.520 --> 0:05:07.640
<v Speaker 1>the best pass rusher now, you know, in the draft,

0:05:07.680 --> 0:05:10.040
<v Speaker 1>I mean just from the statistic standpoint, But I gotta

0:05:10.080 --> 0:05:12.000
<v Speaker 1>give it to Sauce. I gotta give it to Sauce

0:05:12.040 --> 0:05:15.120
<v Speaker 1>because he led the league in pass his defense. Uh,

0:05:15.200 --> 0:05:19.159
<v Speaker 1>he played every snap basically, Um, you know, he tackled. Well,

0:05:19.560 --> 0:05:22.680
<v Speaker 1>he's up there with you know leading tacklers with the Jets. Um,

0:05:22.800 --> 0:05:24.760
<v Speaker 1>he played zone, he played man, He went up against

0:05:24.800 --> 0:05:26.800
<v Speaker 1>the league's best receivers. I don't care if it was

0:05:26.839 --> 0:05:30.640
<v Speaker 1>Jamaar Chase, you name a guy, and you know, he

0:05:30.720 --> 0:05:32.520
<v Speaker 1>kept him out of the end zone all year. Like,

0:05:32.600 --> 0:05:37.120
<v Speaker 1>I just think he's as and Tarik was awesome, but

0:05:37.160 --> 0:05:39.960
<v Speaker 1>their defense wasn't like the Jets defense. So I think,

0:05:40.000 --> 0:05:42.880
<v Speaker 1>you know, from a standpoint of how he helped fix

0:05:42.960 --> 0:05:45.040
<v Speaker 1>the back end of the Jets defense, DJ read and

0:05:45.040 --> 0:05:47.520
<v Speaker 1>the other side was really good. The pass rush obviously

0:05:47.560 --> 0:05:50.360
<v Speaker 1>was fierce. UM, but I I gotta give it to Sauce.

0:05:50.440 --> 0:05:54.200
<v Speaker 1>I believe that he is what a defensive rookie the

0:05:54.240 --> 0:05:56.559
<v Speaker 1>year should look like. And it's not because he plays

0:05:56.560 --> 0:05:59.159
<v Speaker 1>in New York and Tuik plays in Seattle or Aidan

0:05:59.200 --> 0:06:02.000
<v Speaker 1>plays in Detroit, you know, smaller markets Like I just

0:06:02.040 --> 0:06:04.440
<v Speaker 1>think watching all of these guys, you know week in

0:06:04.520 --> 0:06:09.000
<v Speaker 1>week out that the most consistent player was Sauce. And

0:06:09.000 --> 0:06:11.240
<v Speaker 1>there were games when he you know, we talked about it,

0:06:11.520 --> 0:06:13.960
<v Speaker 1>those games where he did not get targeted, like they

0:06:14.000 --> 0:06:19.120
<v Speaker 1>didn't throw at him once, you know, and so uh,

0:06:19.360 --> 0:06:22.360
<v Speaker 1>everybody wants more interceptions and all that those things will

0:06:22.440 --> 0:06:24.520
<v Speaker 1>come like, you're gonna have years where you have two,

0:06:24.839 --> 0:06:26.280
<v Speaker 1>and you canna have years where you gonna have eight,

0:06:26.680 --> 0:06:29.400
<v Speaker 1>you know, or more. That happens to every cornerback. I

0:06:29.400 --> 0:06:32.200
<v Speaker 1>don't care. Xavian Howard had ten last year, he had

0:06:32.320 --> 0:06:35.120
<v Speaker 1>one or two this year. It happens. It's just the

0:06:35.200 --> 0:06:38.400
<v Speaker 1>nature of the cornerback position. I just think that sauce

0:06:39.120 --> 0:06:44.000
<v Speaker 1>Um to me, should be the recipient of this award. Yeah,

0:06:44.000 --> 0:06:45.760
<v Speaker 1>you could make the argument that he was the top

0:06:45.800 --> 0:06:48.240
<v Speaker 1>cornerback in the National Football League this year, not just

0:06:48.279 --> 0:06:50.320
<v Speaker 1>a defensive Rookie of the Year, but maybe he was

0:06:50.360 --> 0:06:54.320
<v Speaker 1>the top cornerback out of everybody. But if you didn't

0:06:54.360 --> 0:06:56.920
<v Speaker 1>know he was a rookie, you wouldn't you wouldn't know

0:06:57.560 --> 0:06:59.120
<v Speaker 1>that he was a rookie, you know what I mean.

0:06:59.160 --> 0:07:02.560
<v Speaker 1>Like he played like a veteran corner, a great veteran corner,

0:07:02.760 --> 0:07:06.799
<v Speaker 1>but like not many guys you know, have sauce size, length, speed,

0:07:07.040 --> 0:07:12.520
<v Speaker 1>makeup speed, poise, eyes, like tackling. Like there's very few

0:07:12.560 --> 0:07:16.560
<v Speaker 1>players in this whole league that has the combination of

0:07:16.640 --> 0:07:19.760
<v Speaker 1>skills and talent that he has. Let's go from elite

0:07:19.840 --> 0:07:24.160
<v Speaker 1>cornerback to elite cornerback. Darrell Reevs one of five first

0:07:24.280 --> 0:07:28.239
<v Speaker 1>time finalists eligible for the Pro Football Hall of Fame.

0:07:28.560 --> 0:07:32.200
<v Speaker 1>Reeves career numbers twenty five interceptions, a hundred and twelve

0:07:32.560 --> 0:07:36.520
<v Speaker 1>p ds. UH. He was also a four time first

0:07:36.560 --> 0:07:40.000
<v Speaker 1>team All Pro seven time Pro Bowl selection. What do

0:07:40.000 --> 0:07:45.160
<v Speaker 1>you think about reeves chances of getting in? On February

0:07:45.200 --> 0:07:48.640
<v Speaker 1>nine at NFL Honors, Well, there was a five year

0:07:48.680 --> 0:07:52.320
<v Speaker 1>stretch where Durrell Reeves not only was the best corner

0:07:52.560 --> 0:07:55.000
<v Speaker 1>in the Naster Football League, he was arguably the best

0:07:55.000 --> 0:07:58.000
<v Speaker 1>defensive player. Because if you're gonna say this is the

0:07:58.000 --> 0:08:00.200
<v Speaker 1>passing league, we know it is. I don't care where

0:08:00.200 --> 0:08:01.920
<v Speaker 1>he went up against. I don't care if was Chad

0:08:01.960 --> 0:08:05.000
<v Speaker 1>Johnson or you know, Reggie Wayne. It didn't matter. Uh,

0:08:05.080 --> 0:08:09.040
<v Speaker 1>big games, playoff games, Um, it didn't matter. Like Darrell

0:08:09.120 --> 0:08:12.480
<v Speaker 1>Reeves was the best player on the field. And you know,

0:08:12.600 --> 0:08:14.600
<v Speaker 1>I know it was a five or six year stretch.

0:08:15.360 --> 0:08:18.280
<v Speaker 1>But if you're the best player in the league, like

0:08:18.640 --> 0:08:20.640
<v Speaker 1>you'd like to say, okay, he was the best player

0:08:20.640 --> 0:08:22.560
<v Speaker 1>for a decade, like Charles Woodson was the best player

0:08:22.600 --> 0:08:25.080
<v Speaker 1>for a whole decade. Rod Woodson was the best player

0:08:25.120 --> 0:08:27.720
<v Speaker 1>for a decade or more. All that stuff, But I

0:08:27.800 --> 0:08:31.000
<v Speaker 1>just think in that period of time, especially with Rex,

0:08:31.480 --> 0:08:34.120
<v Speaker 1>and I think Rex came a year after he was

0:08:34.160 --> 0:08:38.360
<v Speaker 1>in the league. Um, I just think for that stretch,

0:08:39.080 --> 0:08:41.000
<v Speaker 1>nobody could beat him. I don't care if Randy Moss,

0:08:41.080 --> 0:08:43.280
<v Speaker 1>you know, pick up an elite player. They couldn't beat

0:08:43.320 --> 0:08:46.800
<v Speaker 1>Darrell Reeves week in week out. And so, you know,

0:08:47.320 --> 0:08:50.160
<v Speaker 1>because he played press man and he shut guys down,

0:08:50.520 --> 0:08:53.320
<v Speaker 1>he didn't get the interceptions that zone corners getting like

0:08:53.400 --> 0:08:56.000
<v Speaker 1>Rex wasn't playing that style of football. Rex was challenging

0:08:56.080 --> 0:08:58.400
<v Speaker 1>with the line of scrimmage, challenging every throw. You're not

0:08:58.400 --> 0:09:01.400
<v Speaker 1>gonna get interceptions in that way. Like if he played

0:09:01.559 --> 0:09:04.400
<v Speaker 1>off the ball and he wasn't pressing every play, he'd

0:09:04.400 --> 0:09:07.200
<v Speaker 1>probably be in the forties, you know, interception wise. But

0:09:07.600 --> 0:09:09.199
<v Speaker 1>so you can't look at the numbers. You have to

0:09:09.240 --> 0:09:11.920
<v Speaker 1>look at how he shut guys down, and we've never

0:09:11.960 --> 0:09:13.600
<v Speaker 1>seen a guy like it. You could go back, Okay,

0:09:13.640 --> 0:09:16.200
<v Speaker 1>maybe Dion did that, but really you can't look at

0:09:16.200 --> 0:09:18.560
<v Speaker 1>anybody else has played this game that played it the

0:09:18.559 --> 0:09:21.120
<v Speaker 1>way Darrell Reevers did. You could talk to Brandon Marshall

0:09:21.160 --> 0:09:22.920
<v Speaker 1>when he was in Chicago and he tell you why

0:09:23.240 --> 0:09:25.319
<v Speaker 1>Durrell Reevers was the best corner in the league, and

0:09:25.320 --> 0:09:28.240
<v Speaker 1>then they became teammates and it was just iron sharping iron.

0:09:28.280 --> 0:09:30.600
<v Speaker 1>In two thousand and fifteen, those guys are going up

0:09:30.600 --> 0:09:33.360
<v Speaker 1>against each other every day in practice. Yeah, I think

0:09:35.000 --> 0:09:37.840
<v Speaker 1>he was a masterful technician and he was so fun

0:09:37.880 --> 0:09:40.480
<v Speaker 1>to watch it practice. That's one of the things I

0:09:40.520 --> 0:09:45.040
<v Speaker 1>think people love about you is that you're jumping from

0:09:45.080 --> 0:09:47.320
<v Speaker 1>team to team and you love going out there and

0:09:47.360 --> 0:09:51.040
<v Speaker 1>watching practices. Remember we were doing an NFL Network show

0:09:51.760 --> 0:09:54.199
<v Speaker 1>two thousand and fifteen and there was Darrell Reevers and

0:09:54.200 --> 0:09:56.480
<v Speaker 1>Brandon Marshall going out at in training camp, and you

0:09:56.480 --> 0:09:58.680
<v Speaker 1>would have thought it was the fourth quarter of a

0:09:58.679 --> 0:10:01.040
<v Speaker 1>playoff game the way they were going at it. Like

0:10:01.120 --> 0:10:03.080
<v Speaker 1>you wonder why he could do what he did in

0:10:03.080 --> 0:10:06.760
<v Speaker 1>the games, how he practiced. I believe that is the

0:10:06.800 --> 0:10:09.439
<v Speaker 1>first bout Hall of Famer that somebody people will say, well,

0:10:09.440 --> 0:10:10.959
<v Speaker 1>he doesn't have enough stats, he didn't do it for

0:10:10.960 --> 0:10:12.680
<v Speaker 1>a long period. I mean, I know all the arguments

0:10:12.679 --> 0:10:15.800
<v Speaker 1>against it. I just know that we haven't seen a

0:10:15.800 --> 0:10:18.680
<v Speaker 1>player like that in this league since he left the league,

0:10:19.040 --> 0:10:21.000
<v Speaker 1>ever since he came in the league in two thousand seven.

0:10:21.240 --> 0:10:22.959
<v Speaker 1>To me, he first I told him that when we

0:10:23.000 --> 0:10:25.560
<v Speaker 1>saw him at the Jets, Uh, you know, the home

0:10:25.600 --> 0:10:28.320
<v Speaker 1>game late in the year. I believe is the first

0:10:28.320 --> 0:10:32.240
<v Speaker 1>bout Hall of Famer and I'll regardless of what happens,

0:10:32.280 --> 0:10:34.200
<v Speaker 1>that's my belief. And that's if I was a vote,

0:10:34.240 --> 0:10:37.440
<v Speaker 1>that's how I would vote. Yeah, I think sometimes we

0:10:38.080 --> 0:10:42.800
<v Speaker 1>overuse the word great. Durrell Reevus was a great player.

0:10:43.000 --> 0:10:45.000
<v Speaker 1>And if you were an offensive coordinator and you were

0:10:45.040 --> 0:10:47.760
<v Speaker 1>a quarterback, you were preparing for a game on Sunday

0:10:47.800 --> 0:10:51.400
<v Speaker 1>and it was Monday or Tuesday, you're focusing a lot

0:10:51.440 --> 0:10:55.280
<v Speaker 1>in your your your plan, staying away from twenty four

0:10:55.360 --> 0:10:59.840
<v Speaker 1>to your point and even target inside of the field. Well,

0:10:59.840 --> 0:11:02.560
<v Speaker 1>I smember when he was coming out of pit so

0:11:03.480 --> 0:11:08.000
<v Speaker 1>I that year two thousand and seven, that preparation for

0:11:08.040 --> 0:11:12.000
<v Speaker 1>the draft, I didn't look at one note on one player.

0:11:12.720 --> 0:11:14.520
<v Speaker 1>I just wanted to turn the film on and see

0:11:14.559 --> 0:11:16.880
<v Speaker 1>how fast they could find a player, Like how fast

0:11:16.920 --> 0:11:19.400
<v Speaker 1>can I find? I didn't know what Darrell Reeves number was.

0:11:19.800 --> 0:11:22.000
<v Speaker 1>I didn't know what Corn White v was, a boundary

0:11:22.000 --> 0:11:24.480
<v Speaker 1>corner or zone. I didn't know anything. I just said,

0:11:24.480 --> 0:11:27.080
<v Speaker 1>I'm sure I did this with every player that was

0:11:27.200 --> 0:11:29.280
<v Speaker 1>basically a first round pick in two thousand seven. I

0:11:29.320 --> 0:11:31.760
<v Speaker 1>just want to see if my eyes could find that

0:11:31.880 --> 0:11:35.640
<v Speaker 1>player in three plays. So I tried to pick game

0:11:35.679 --> 0:11:38.000
<v Speaker 1>on two seven. I found Darrell Reeves, Like on the

0:11:38.000 --> 0:11:40.520
<v Speaker 1>second play of the game. I just I just the

0:11:40.559 --> 0:11:43.360
<v Speaker 1>way he moved, the way he pressed, the way, how

0:11:43.400 --> 0:11:46.600
<v Speaker 1>strong he was, how he tackled. Like it happened so fast.

0:11:46.880 --> 0:11:48.920
<v Speaker 1>I was like, Okay, this is Darrell Reeves, is what

0:11:48.920 --> 0:11:52.360
<v Speaker 1>they're talking about. And so I like, I don't remember

0:11:52.480 --> 0:11:54.240
<v Speaker 1>like everybody in the draft class that year he a

0:11:54.400 --> 0:12:00.720
<v Speaker 1>but that's how I discovered. You know, Durrell Joel kle overdue.

0:12:00.880 --> 0:12:03.840
<v Speaker 1>It seems like he's finally gonna get that stamp he

0:12:03.880 --> 0:12:07.560
<v Speaker 1>needs of the vote. If you look at recent history

0:12:07.640 --> 0:12:13.000
<v Speaker 1>of Senior finalists, he's already crossed his largest hurdle. It's

0:12:13.080 --> 0:12:15.160
<v Speaker 1>just one more to go. What can you say about

0:12:15.240 --> 0:12:19.720
<v Speaker 1>Cleco and your expectations of what that's actually gonna mean

0:12:19.760 --> 0:12:23.520
<v Speaker 1>to him, for him to finally take his place in

0:12:23.640 --> 0:12:27.080
<v Speaker 1>Canton after the wait has been so long. We're all

0:12:27.080 --> 0:12:30.960
<v Speaker 1>gonna celebrate, you know, Durrell and Joe in Canton this summer. Okay,

0:12:31.000 --> 0:12:33.720
<v Speaker 1>we're all we're all gonna be there for it. Um.

0:12:33.760 --> 0:12:35.880
<v Speaker 1>So I played twelve years in the league e A.

0:12:36.160 --> 0:12:38.720
<v Speaker 1>And I played five more years, probably than I should

0:12:38.720 --> 0:12:42.880
<v Speaker 1>have because, uh, I became a teammate. Joe became a

0:12:42.880 --> 0:12:48.040
<v Speaker 1>teammate of mine in Indianapolis in two thousand, nineteen eight.

0:12:48.120 --> 0:12:50.800
<v Speaker 1>Joke plecos last year in the league was indian Appolis,

0:12:51.360 --> 0:12:55.760
<v Speaker 1>and I discovered what the weight room was truly about.

0:12:56.320 --> 0:13:00.520
<v Speaker 1>Functional straight, great strength, And I joke, Cleck taught me

0:13:00.520 --> 0:13:03.600
<v Speaker 1>how to lift weights. Literally after seven years in the league,

0:13:03.600 --> 0:13:06.320
<v Speaker 1>he taught me how to lift weights. And I survived

0:13:06.320 --> 0:13:08.640
<v Speaker 1>another five years because of that, Like I owe Joe

0:13:09.120 --> 0:13:12.240
<v Speaker 1>five years of my career. Um that he was just

0:13:13.360 --> 0:13:18.360
<v Speaker 1>so strong obviously, you know, pro bowl at three different positions. Uh,

0:13:18.360 --> 0:13:20.840
<v Speaker 1>it's never really been done before. Uh. He was just

0:13:21.200 --> 0:13:25.520
<v Speaker 1>uh he was so smart and so strong. Um, you know,

0:13:25.640 --> 0:13:27.760
<v Speaker 1>just physically. I mean I think he could still physically

0:13:27.800 --> 0:13:32.439
<v Speaker 1>whip people right now. But you know, the hands, the footwork,

0:13:32.679 --> 0:13:35.640
<v Speaker 1>the functional strength that he had. I mean he was

0:13:35.679 --> 0:13:38.120
<v Speaker 1>still you know, squatting six hundred pounds on Monday after

0:13:38.240 --> 0:13:42.000
<v Speaker 1>game in I don't know what year that was, thirteen, fourteen,

0:13:42.000 --> 0:13:44.080
<v Speaker 1>I don't remember. Um, you know, at the end of

0:13:44.080 --> 0:13:45.920
<v Speaker 1>his career, he was still squatting six hundred pounds a

0:13:46.000 --> 0:13:49.280
<v Speaker 1>day after you know, a football game. Um, you know,

0:13:49.679 --> 0:13:53.120
<v Speaker 1>he maintained his strength throughout. He might probably got stronger

0:13:53.160 --> 0:13:56.480
<v Speaker 1>all the way until the very end. But Joe, Joe's

0:13:56.480 --> 0:13:58.480
<v Speaker 1>getting into the Hall of Fame this summer like that.

0:13:58.640 --> 0:14:00.559
<v Speaker 1>He's not going to be denied. And it's gonna be

0:14:00.640 --> 0:14:05.800
<v Speaker 1>a good choice. It's gonna be something special. If listen,

0:14:05.800 --> 0:14:10.040

0:14:10.160 --> 0:14:14.240

<v Speaker 1>coordinator search right now? What have you thought about some

0:15:27.280 --> 0:15:30.440
<v Speaker 1>of the names that have been reported out there through

0:15:30.600 --> 0:15:34.200
<v Speaker 1>various news outlets. Let me throw some at you. Chatout

0:15:34.640 --> 0:15:40.800
<v Speaker 1>chet O'sheay, Nick Kyley, Kevin Putulo, Brian Johnson, Nathaniel Hackett,

0:15:41.400 --> 0:15:44.960
<v Speaker 1>Clint Kubiak, Frank Reich. He's interviewing for a number of

0:15:44.960 --> 0:15:50.440
<v Speaker 1>head coaching jobs right now, Marcus Brady um and there

0:15:50.480 --> 0:15:53.240
<v Speaker 1>are a few others out there. Obviously we're all seeing

0:15:53.280 --> 0:15:56.760
<v Speaker 1>the reports come in. Uh, what have you thought about

0:15:56.840 --> 0:16:00.200
<v Speaker 1>the names that you've heard? And also can you talk

0:16:00.240 --> 0:16:03.000
<v Speaker 1>about a general direction you think Robert Sale and Joe

0:16:03.040 --> 0:16:04.800
<v Speaker 1>Douglas have to go in here? Well, I think they

0:16:04.840 --> 0:16:06.960
<v Speaker 1>needed to make a change. I think a change well,

0:16:07.000 --> 0:16:09.120
<v Speaker 1>you know, I mean you could blame the offensive line

0:16:09.120 --> 0:16:11.200
<v Speaker 1>and this function up front with all you do, all

0:16:11.240 --> 0:16:12.600
<v Speaker 1>you want to do. I think they had to make

0:16:12.640 --> 0:16:16.160
<v Speaker 1>a change all right. Of all the names mentioned, there

0:16:16.200 --> 0:16:19.200
<v Speaker 1>was a lot of good quality and qualified people on

0:16:19.200 --> 0:16:22.400
<v Speaker 1>that list. When I heard Clint Kobieck's name, like my

0:16:22.480 --> 0:16:25.440
<v Speaker 1>eyes went like that that just registered with me. Joe

0:16:25.480 --> 0:16:29.960
<v Speaker 1>Douglas knew his father in Baltimore. Um, you know, they

0:16:29.960 --> 0:16:32.320
<v Speaker 1>had a great they had a great run when he

0:16:32.400 --> 0:16:36.640
<v Speaker 1>was there. His son is very similar in his approach

0:16:37.240 --> 0:16:41.840
<v Speaker 1>and how it's supposed to look and what the demands are. Um.

0:16:42.480 --> 0:16:46.600
<v Speaker 1>I I feel like that's a name that and he's

0:16:46.600 --> 0:16:49.480
<v Speaker 1>a young guy that understands the game, been around the

0:16:49.480 --> 0:16:52.920
<v Speaker 1>game his whole life. I think he's got real ability

0:16:52.920 --> 0:16:56.800
<v Speaker 1>to teach and to take the skill that the Jets

0:16:56.800 --> 0:17:00.880
<v Speaker 1>have to another level. UM. And so I feel like

0:17:01.680 --> 0:17:04.280
<v Speaker 1>that's the name that I keep coming back to. When

0:17:04.280 --> 0:17:06.560
<v Speaker 1>I saw all the names and all the interviews that

0:17:06.600 --> 0:17:10.960
<v Speaker 1>they had, Clint Kubiak to me, seemed like a fit,

0:17:11.119 --> 0:17:14.800
<v Speaker 1>a really good fit for this offense. Do you anticipate

0:17:15.520 --> 0:17:19.000
<v Speaker 1>Reich getting a head coaching job? People are reporting now

0:17:19.080 --> 0:17:22.399
<v Speaker 1>that he's getting a second interview with the Carolina Panthers.

0:17:22.480 --> 0:17:25.720
<v Speaker 1>Arizona has been named as a possible destination for him

0:17:25.800 --> 0:17:28.320
<v Speaker 1>if he doesn't land a head coaching job. Do you

0:17:28.359 --> 0:17:31.520
<v Speaker 1>think that he might be a possibility for the Jets.

0:17:31.600 --> 0:17:33.480
<v Speaker 1>It's a possibility. I mean, Frank could go back to

0:17:33.520 --> 0:17:35.520
<v Speaker 1>that role, but I think he wants to be a

0:17:35.520 --> 0:17:38.359
<v Speaker 1>head coach. I know Frank. I mean I played with

0:17:38.400 --> 0:17:40.640
<v Speaker 1>Frank when he was back up to Jim Kelly and Buffalo.

0:17:40.960 --> 0:17:44.040
<v Speaker 1>My brother played with my normal a long time. Um,

0:17:44.080 --> 0:17:48.200
<v Speaker 1>I think he is. Yeah, he just has a real command.

0:17:48.359 --> 0:17:51.520
<v Speaker 1>He has a command of the league. He has a

0:17:51.560 --> 0:17:55.879
<v Speaker 1>command of game, day of preparation, like there was just

0:17:56.560 --> 0:17:59.919
<v Speaker 1>like anybody that would give Frank a second chance as

0:18:00.080 --> 0:18:03.280
<v Speaker 1>head coach, I think they would benefit by and I

0:18:03.320 --> 0:18:05.600
<v Speaker 1>just think that's where he's at right now. Yeah, he

0:18:05.640 --> 0:18:08.040
<v Speaker 1>did a good job in Indianapolis. I think five seasons,

0:18:08.040 --> 0:18:13.080
<v Speaker 1>forty three and one overall. Uh, he did a fine

0:18:13.200 --> 0:18:16.280
<v Speaker 1>job there in Indianapolis. They're searching for a head coach

0:18:16.400 --> 0:18:20.000
<v Speaker 1>right now themselves. Again to Kubiak, let me circle back

0:18:20.000 --> 0:18:23.639
<v Speaker 1>on that real quick. What do you think about that background?

0:18:23.680 --> 0:18:28.919
<v Speaker 1>How much that helps him, um in his coaching life

0:18:29.000 --> 0:18:33.760
<v Speaker 1>as far as growing up with Gary Kubiak, Oh, I mean,

0:18:33.800 --> 0:18:36.640
<v Speaker 1>I just think everything just kind of goes from father

0:18:36.720 --> 0:18:39.800
<v Speaker 1>to son. I just think all those all those traits

0:18:39.880 --> 0:18:43.440
<v Speaker 1>that his father had going back to the Shanahan years, um,

0:18:43.760 --> 0:18:45.879
<v Speaker 1>all transfer and we're seeing what Kyle is doing right now.

0:18:45.960 --> 0:18:51.280
<v Speaker 1>I think Clint has much of the same attributes. Okay,

0:18:51.400 --> 0:18:58.119
<v Speaker 1>uh quarterbacks veteran quarterbacks right now. Aaron Rodgers UH was

0:18:58.160 --> 0:19:01.840
<v Speaker 1>on Pat McAfee saying, you know, we gotta have some

0:19:01.880 --> 0:19:05.760
<v Speaker 1>conversations with Green Bay Packers. ESPN Adam Schefter reported that

0:19:06.080 --> 0:19:11.000
<v Speaker 1>it's a very real possibility that Rogers could be traded

0:19:11.440 --> 0:19:14.639
<v Speaker 1>this year. Now, with all that being said, do you

0:19:14.680 --> 0:19:18.240
<v Speaker 1>anticipate Rogers playing next year? And if you do, do

0:19:18.280 --> 0:19:22.239
<v Speaker 1>you anticipate him playing with another team? I really don't know,

0:19:22.320 --> 0:19:25.400
<v Speaker 1>e a I don't know where Aaron's at right now.

0:19:25.760 --> 0:19:28.359
<v Speaker 1>I'm sure he wants to keep playing, UM, but I

0:19:28.400 --> 0:19:30.239
<v Speaker 1>don't think it's gonna be in Green Bay. I think

0:19:30.320 --> 0:19:33.440
<v Speaker 1>he's gonna be a free agent out there. I mean trade.

0:19:33.480 --> 0:19:34.800
<v Speaker 1>I don't know how. I don't know how all this

0:19:34.880 --> 0:19:37.760
<v Speaker 1>thing happens, but I think Green Bay is ready to

0:19:37.760 --> 0:19:40.280
<v Speaker 1>move on. And it wouldn't surprise me if Aaron Rodgers

0:19:40.320 --> 0:19:43.240
<v Speaker 1>is ready to move on. And if you're the Jets,

0:19:43.720 --> 0:19:46.680
<v Speaker 1>and if that indeed is on the table, as far

0:19:46.720 --> 0:19:51.879
<v Speaker 1>as Rogers, do you make a call. I'd make a call.

0:19:52.040 --> 0:19:54.439
<v Speaker 1>But I just think the Jets have a lot of

0:19:54.480 --> 0:19:57.600
<v Speaker 1>young talent. I just think that that's the wrong move.

0:19:57.720 --> 0:20:01.880
<v Speaker 1>I don't think I don't think they're one quarterback away

0:20:01.920 --> 0:20:04.320
<v Speaker 1>from winning a Super Bowl, Like I just don't believe

0:20:05.200 --> 0:20:06.919
<v Speaker 1>they're ready for that yet. I think they can be

0:20:06.960 --> 0:20:09.439
<v Speaker 1>a playoff team next year, and I think you know,

0:20:09.440 --> 0:20:12.240
<v Speaker 1>and Aaron Rodgers could help them get there. I just

0:20:12.320 --> 0:20:15.240
<v Speaker 1>think you got to build this thing for the long haul. EA,

0:20:15.359 --> 0:20:16.800
<v Speaker 1>and I just think you gotta go young. You got

0:20:16.840 --> 0:20:18.919
<v Speaker 1>all these young talent that they drafted last year that

0:20:18.960 --> 0:20:21.200
<v Speaker 1>they've been drafting. I just feel like they just need

0:20:21.240 --> 0:20:24.600
<v Speaker 1>a young guy to grow with everything and be there

0:20:24.640 --> 0:20:27.320
<v Speaker 1>every day, be committed every day, not a guy at

0:20:27.320 --> 0:20:29.720
<v Speaker 1>the end of the career where they're just looking for

0:20:29.840 --> 0:20:33.240
<v Speaker 1>that steady quarterback to walk in. What about Derek Carr.

0:20:33.280 --> 0:20:36.320
<v Speaker 1>Most people think that Derek Car's guy. Would definitely talk

0:20:36.359 --> 0:20:38.679
<v Speaker 1>to I mean, definitely talk to Derek Carr if he

0:20:38.720 --> 0:20:41.879
<v Speaker 1>becomes available. Obviously we're talking hypotheticals and a lot of

0:20:41.880 --> 0:20:44.680
<v Speaker 1>people they've cut the cord there, so however you get there.

0:20:44.680 --> 0:20:47.320
<v Speaker 1>But you know you're talking about a big contract e A.

0:20:48.000 --> 0:20:50.680
<v Speaker 1>That's gonna make it difficult to keep a lot of

0:20:50.800 --> 0:20:54.080
<v Speaker 1>veteran players. You know, when you start paying your quarterback

0:20:54.119 --> 0:20:58.600
<v Speaker 1>as much as you gotta pay him. So anyways, you

0:20:58.680 --> 0:21:02.160
<v Speaker 1>anticipate Lamar jack Sin being in Baltimore next year, No,

0:21:02.200 --> 0:21:04.440
<v Speaker 1>I don't. I think, you know. I think it's gonna

0:21:04.440 --> 0:21:06.960
<v Speaker 1>be a difficult contract. I think this thing is gonna

0:21:06.960 --> 0:21:08.360
<v Speaker 1>get drawn out. I don't think he's going to play

0:21:08.359 --> 0:21:11.280
<v Speaker 1>in a franchise tag and I think that's where it's headed. Um,

0:21:11.359 --> 0:21:15.320
<v Speaker 1>I know what's been said, but I gotta I gotta

0:21:15.359 --> 0:21:18.600
<v Speaker 1>go right now. But I think Lamar is. I think

0:21:18.600 --> 0:21:21.600
<v Speaker 1>there there could be a real court cutting right there. Okay, Baldi,

0:21:21.720 --> 0:21:23.680
<v Speaker 1>good stuff, Get back to work, brother,
