They take over the 6 00:00:40,228 --> 00:00:42,188 Speaker 4: game when the game's on the line. The money time 7 00:00:42,428 --> 00:00:47,068 Speaker 4: and another perfect pass by Sam Donald. You're growing MVP 8 00:00:47,348 --> 00:00:50,468 Speaker 4: type of performance today for Drake May. Care to do, 9 00:00:51,028 --> 00:00:54,548 Speaker 4: Sam Donald, you are a magician across the goal line. 10 00:00:54,588 --> 00:00:58,708 Speaker 4: Right touchdown, Bundy player, fundy time. Drake May and the 11 00:00:58,748 --> 00:01:01,428 Speaker 4: Patriots and the se York are going back to the 12 00:01:01,508 --> 00:01:05,908 Speaker 4: Super Bowl. Indeed they are. 13 00:01:06,068 --> 00:01:07,828 Speaker 2: In fact, it is a rematch from a game we 14 00:01:07,908 --> 00:01:11,508 Speaker 2: know all too well. Jamie Mantirashott and Kyle We're in California, 15 00:01:11,628 --> 00:01:14,028 Speaker 2: Kyle's in New York, but we're talking everything New England 16 00:01:14,108 --> 00:01:16,548 Speaker 2: and Seattle ahead of Super Bowl sixty to be played 17 00:01:16,588 --> 00:01:19,748 Speaker 2: next Sunday. Drake May and Sam Darnold. They were both 18 00:01:19,828 --> 00:01:23,188 Speaker 2: drafted with the number three pick in their respective drafts, 19 00:01:23,268 --> 00:01:26,068 Speaker 2: Donald Beck in twenty eighteen and May of course just 20 00:01:26,108 --> 00:01:28,468 Speaker 2: in twenty twenty four. But the two quarterbacks are very 21 00:01:28,508 --> 00:01:31,268 Speaker 2: different paths to get to the big Game next week. 22 00:01:31,348 --> 00:01:34,188 Speaker 2: Donald has played for five teams along the way, while 23 00:01:34,228 --> 00:01:36,708 Speaker 2: May has reached the super Bowl in only his second 24 00:01:36,788 --> 00:01:39,308 Speaker 2: season in the league. So here comes the question for 25 00:01:39,428 --> 00:01:42,708 Speaker 2: a throwdown Thursday. I ask you this, who is last 26 00:01:42,748 --> 00:01:46,228 Speaker 2: two years would make a greater DOCU series? 27 00:01:47,108 --> 00:01:47,508 Speaker 4: Manti. 28 00:01:47,668 --> 00:01:49,788 Speaker 2: Is it Sam Donald and what we saw him do 29 00:01:49,908 --> 00:01:53,108 Speaker 2: with the Vikings and the Seahawks? Or is it Drake May? 30 00:01:53,308 --> 00:01:55,908 Speaker 2: Rookie and two sophomore year and already at a super 31 00:01:55,908 --> 00:01:57,148 Speaker 2: Bowl caliber Jamie. 32 00:01:57,188 --> 00:01:59,268 Speaker 3: If I'm thinking about this question, the key. 33 00:01:59,188 --> 00:02:00,308 Speaker 4: Is two years. 34 00:02:00,628 --> 00:02:04,268 Speaker 3: And out of those two quarterbacks, the one quarterback that 35 00:02:04,508 --> 00:02:07,388 Speaker 3: had the greatest change in two years to me would 36 00:02:07,428 --> 00:02:08,988 Speaker 3: have to be Drake May. I would love to see 37 00:02:08,988 --> 00:02:13,468 Speaker 3: a documentary docu series about what was once a rookie 38 00:02:13,548 --> 00:02:17,548 Speaker 3: quarterback that split time with Jacoby Brissett to what is 39 00:02:17,628 --> 00:02:20,108 Speaker 3: now a quarterback that is splitting MVP. 40 00:02:20,028 --> 00:02:23,228 Speaker 4: Votes with Matt Stafford Nick. Where did that change? Right? 41 00:02:23,268 --> 00:02:25,988 Speaker 3: We talk a lot about in this league the welcome 42 00:02:26,028 --> 00:02:29,188 Speaker 3: to the NFL moment. That is one moment in the NFL, 43 00:02:29,228 --> 00:02:31,468 Speaker 3: and there's another that a lot of people don't talk about, 44 00:02:31,508 --> 00:02:34,348 Speaker 3: and that's the aha moment or the moment where you realize, 45 00:02:34,388 --> 00:02:38,308 Speaker 3: like dang, I could do this within the past twelve 46 00:02:38,548 --> 00:02:40,628 Speaker 3: twenty four months, or whatever you want to call it, 47 00:02:41,228 --> 00:02:43,988 Speaker 3: Drake May has had that aha moment to the point 48 00:02:44,028 --> 00:02:47,468 Speaker 3: where he went from somebody who's rotating, came in late 49 00:02:47,508 --> 00:02:50,228 Speaker 3: in the fourth quarter his rookie year, to somebody right 50 00:02:50,268 --> 00:02:52,188 Speaker 3: now who's about to play in the Super Bowl, who's 51 00:02:52,228 --> 00:02:55,588 Speaker 3: in a lot of MVP conversations. So, Rashad, when I'm 52 00:02:55,628 --> 00:02:58,028 Speaker 3: looking at both of these quarterbacks, Sam Darnold, Drake May, 53 00:02:58,388 --> 00:03:00,788 Speaker 3: I'm going to go with Drake Drake May May, Drake 54 00:03:00,868 --> 00:03:01,388 Speaker 3: May May. 55 00:03:01,308 --> 00:03:02,548 Speaker 4: I respect and understand that. 56 00:03:02,628 --> 00:03:05,668 Speaker 5: Now when I watch a documentary or Netflix, I kind 57 00:03:05,668 --> 00:03:07,508 Speaker 5: of see a prelude to a lot of things, and 58 00:03:07,548 --> 00:03:11,268 Speaker 5: I just want to go simply back to pitcher Sam 59 00:03:11,348 --> 00:03:15,988 Speaker 5: Donald right here in Santa Clair lev Stadium going to 60 00:03:16,068 --> 00:03:20,588 Speaker 5: National Anthem, backing up brock Perdy, mister irrelevant, and take 61 00:03:20,588 --> 00:03:22,468 Speaker 5: it to him to his first Super Bowl. Fast forward 62 00:03:22,468 --> 00:03:25,908 Speaker 5: now to the Vikings Vikings. He's now shipped out there 63 00:03:26,268 --> 00:03:30,548 Speaker 5: behind Kevin Old, Kevin o' o'donald. Now he's the back 64 00:03:30,628 --> 00:03:33,628 Speaker 5: up JJ McCarthy. He gets injured. Now he has some 65 00:03:33,668 --> 00:03:36,708 Speaker 5: weapons to play with. He has he has justin Jefferson. 66 00:03:37,108 --> 00:03:40,268 Speaker 5: He then throws the ball to Jordan Addison, TJ. Hawkins, 67 00:03:40,268 --> 00:03:42,308 Speaker 5: He hands the ball off, he goes over to Seattle, 68 00:03:42,388 --> 00:03:44,468 Speaker 5: he revamps, he takes them to the super Bowl. 69 00:03:44,708 --> 00:03:46,228 Speaker 4: Only the fast forward he's back. 70 00:03:46,108 --> 00:03:49,948 Speaker 5: In Santa Clair again, now for his Super Bowl opportunity 71 00:03:49,988 --> 00:03:51,148 Speaker 5: to lead his actual team. 72 00:03:51,388 --> 00:03:53,748 Speaker 4: And also what makes it beautiful if we can. 73 00:03:53,748 --> 00:03:56,788 Speaker 5: Just remember the time that he most famously said and 74 00:03:56,788 --> 00:04:00,508 Speaker 5: I'm seeing ghosts, and that was going against the Patriots organization, 75 00:04:00,668 --> 00:04:02,988 Speaker 5: and now he gets to revamp that again. If I 76 00:04:03,108 --> 00:04:05,028 Speaker 5: was to call this a Netflix here, we'll call The 77 00:04:05,108 --> 00:04:08,668 Speaker 5: Face and Shadows, and it comes out February eighth, in 78 00:04:08,708 --> 00:04:11,428 Speaker 5: twenty twenty six, six point thirty EASTERNS. 79 00:04:11,468 --> 00:04:14,828 Speaker 4: So I would love to see this. I'm into it. 80 00:04:15,508 --> 00:04:16,268 Speaker 4: I think the answer. 81 00:04:16,268 --> 00:04:18,148 Speaker 1: First of all, I don't think Drake May would participate 82 00:04:18,148 --> 00:04:18,988 Speaker 1: in this docu series. 83 00:04:19,028 --> 00:04:20,188 Speaker 4: You have to get him to sign off. 84 00:04:20,428 --> 00:04:23,068 Speaker 1: Drake May right now is very very media adverse and 85 00:04:23,148 --> 00:04:25,828 Speaker 1: just head down, not about me, not about me, Team, team, team, 86 00:04:25,828 --> 00:04:27,908 Speaker 1: and it's really smart. So I don't think he's looking 87 00:04:27,908 --> 00:04:29,428 Speaker 1: to do any of this stuff. I think the answer 88 00:04:29,508 --> 00:04:31,428 Speaker 1: is also Sam Donald. I just think this is a 89 00:04:31,508 --> 00:04:34,668 Speaker 1: much more layered, complex story. Drake May's story is he 90 00:04:34,708 --> 00:04:36,788 Speaker 1: was drafted really high in the first round, had a 91 00:04:36,828 --> 00:04:39,268 Speaker 1: tough rookie year that has this amazing coach come in 92 00:04:39,308 --> 00:04:40,188 Speaker 1: and he wins, and it's great. 93 00:04:40,228 --> 00:04:42,588 Speaker 4: It's really cool. But it is nothing like the saga 94 00:04:42,628 --> 00:04:43,268 Speaker 4: of Sam Donald. 95 00:04:43,348 --> 00:04:45,588 Speaker 1: Let's not forget, guys on Sam Donald's first pass in 96 00:04:45,628 --> 00:04:47,988 Speaker 1: the National Football League was a pick six on national 97 00:04:47,988 --> 00:04:50,828 Speaker 1: television and it already started. And then the ghosts and 98 00:04:50,868 --> 00:04:52,948 Speaker 1: all that nonsense, and the Panthers and the Niners, and. 99 00:04:53,188 --> 00:04:54,988 Speaker 4: It's just it is an incredible story. 100 00:04:55,028 --> 00:04:57,348 Speaker 1: It is not only the best story between these two, 101 00:04:57,588 --> 00:04:59,548 Speaker 1: it is the best story between any player in the 102 00:04:59,668 --> 00:05:02,468 Speaker 1: NFL this year, especially if it ends the way Seahawks 103 00:05:02,468 --> 00:05:04,668 Speaker 1: fans hope it does. Plus Sam Donald would be very 104 00:05:04,708 --> 00:05:06,668 Speaker 1: good in the piece, so I would say Sam donk. 105 00:05:06,908 --> 00:05:08,268 Speaker 2: And you can get a lot of different people to 106 00:05:08,268 --> 00:05:11,188 Speaker 2: give commentary about perhaps what Sam went through along the way, 107 00:05:11,228 --> 00:05:14,068 Speaker 2: a lot of good characters with that. All right, we 108 00:05:14,108 --> 00:05:17,228 Speaker 2: are one week away from NFL Honors, presented by Visil Line, 109 00:05:17,268 --> 00:05:19,708 Speaker 2: and one of the awards being handed out is the 110 00:05:19,748 --> 00:05:23,268 Speaker 2: AP Offensive Player of the Year award, oftentimes given to 111 00:05:23,308 --> 00:05:27,868 Speaker 2: a player the non quarterback star on offense. So that's 112 00:05:27,908 --> 00:05:30,108 Speaker 2: how it goes. Here are the finalists from twenty twenty five, 113 00:05:30,148 --> 00:05:33,508 Speaker 2: Christian McCaffrey, Jackson Smith and Jigba Puka Dakua, Jehan Robinson 114 00:05:33,548 --> 00:05:36,508 Speaker 2: and Drake May. Now take May out of this conversation. 115 00:05:36,548 --> 00:05:39,068 Speaker 2: All right, we got two running backs on the left 116 00:05:39,068 --> 00:05:41,868 Speaker 2: side of the screen, two wide receivers on the right 117 00:05:41,908 --> 00:05:44,228 Speaker 2: side of the screen. Here's a question for throwdout Thursday. 118 00:05:44,828 --> 00:05:48,908 Speaker 2: Which highlights are better? I Candy, pull up your you 119 00:05:48,908 --> 00:05:51,268 Speaker 2: pull up your surface. You're watching You're like, guys want 120 00:05:51,268 --> 00:05:52,828 Speaker 2: to spend a half an hour just scrolling through these 121 00:05:52,868 --> 00:05:55,468 Speaker 2: MANSI is it running backs or is it wide receivers? 122 00:05:55,828 --> 00:05:58,508 Speaker 3: So if I was, I'm going to date myself a 123 00:05:58,548 --> 00:06:00,628 Speaker 3: little bit. I love the running back highlights where you 124 00:06:00,668 --> 00:06:03,628 Speaker 3: saw guys just running over people like that's a That's 125 00:06:03,628 --> 00:06:07,188 Speaker 3: why I liked that. Like when I saw U big 126 00:06:07,228 --> 00:06:09,388 Speaker 3: old guys with net guards running through people, so I 127 00:06:09,428 --> 00:06:12,468 Speaker 3: would have to go in today's game, I am more 128 00:06:12,588 --> 00:06:15,388 Speaker 3: entertained by the wide receivers Jackson Smith and Jake bo 129 00:06:15,468 --> 00:06:20,228 Speaker 3: specifically pooking a cool, specifically their ability to be tough, 130 00:06:20,668 --> 00:06:24,108 Speaker 3: catch the ball one handed, two handed, runover guys, block 131 00:06:24,188 --> 00:06:27,868 Speaker 3: guys during whatever it takes to be productive for their team. 132 00:06:27,908 --> 00:06:29,268 Speaker 4: And be an asset to their team. 133 00:06:30,228 --> 00:06:33,468 Speaker 3: Those two guys specifically are They're a highlight reel that 134 00:06:33,468 --> 00:06:36,548 Speaker 3: that I would enjoy watching weekend and week out. And 135 00:06:36,548 --> 00:06:39,708 Speaker 3: we've been very, very fortunate to watch their highlights weekend 136 00:06:39,748 --> 00:06:41,948 Speaker 3: and week out, and so I'm looking forward to Jackson's 137 00:06:42,148 --> 00:06:45,108 Speaker 3: highlight reel continuing this this next week. So out of 138 00:06:45,268 --> 00:06:47,068 Speaker 3: these tour shot I would have to go up with 139 00:06:47,068 --> 00:06:48,148 Speaker 3: the wide receiver highlights. 140 00:06:48,308 --> 00:06:51,228 Speaker 5: And I understand and respect that the catch the catches, 141 00:06:51,268 --> 00:06:53,868 Speaker 5: what's phenomenal the catch from the receiver, But once it's 142 00:06:53,868 --> 00:06:56,308 Speaker 5: in the player's hand, I'm looking at the running backs. 143 00:06:56,468 --> 00:06:58,228 Speaker 5: Give me the running backs all day long. They're making 144 00:06:58,228 --> 00:07:01,188 Speaker 5: people miss, the ability to juke, jump, do every single 145 00:07:01,228 --> 00:07:03,388 Speaker 5: thing on the football field that everybody's. 146 00:07:02,948 --> 00:07:04,348 Speaker 4: Asked to do at a high level. 147 00:07:04,748 --> 00:07:06,668 Speaker 5: And when you look at b John Robinson, if you 148 00:07:06,708 --> 00:07:08,748 Speaker 5: look at what they've been able to do with him 149 00:07:08,748 --> 00:07:12,228 Speaker 5: in Atlanta, he's making spectacular plays. He is the reason 150 00:07:12,228 --> 00:07:14,508 Speaker 5: why they are continuing to go. Here's the reason what 151 00:07:14,588 --> 00:07:16,508 Speaker 5: makes them relevant, I think in a lot of ways, 152 00:07:16,548 --> 00:07:19,948 Speaker 5: and he's always one play away from breaking a big one. 153 00:07:19,988 --> 00:07:22,548 Speaker 5: So when it comes to highlight reels, I love saying 154 00:07:22,588 --> 00:07:24,708 Speaker 5: what they're doing in a running back rum. 155 00:07:25,748 --> 00:07:28,828 Speaker 1: I think this answer to this question usually goes back 156 00:07:28,868 --> 00:07:31,228 Speaker 1: to your roots and how you started liking football, Like 157 00:07:31,268 --> 00:07:34,028 Speaker 1: what got you into it? If you were watching Randy 158 00:07:34,068 --> 00:07:36,268 Speaker 1: Moss or Odell or whoever it may have been, and 159 00:07:36,308 --> 00:07:39,588 Speaker 1: like that's really the time you entered football and this receiver, 160 00:07:39,948 --> 00:07:42,668 Speaker 1: you know. For me, I was watching Barry Sanders highlights 161 00:07:42,668 --> 00:07:43,988 Speaker 1: and I just couldn't believe what I was looking at. 162 00:07:44,068 --> 00:07:45,428 Speaker 1: Or I was when I was really young, I would 163 00:07:45,428 --> 00:07:47,948 Speaker 1: watch Walter Payton highlights. Here's my breakdown of why it's 164 00:07:47,988 --> 00:07:51,908 Speaker 1: running back for me. In most wide receiver highlights, the 165 00:07:51,908 --> 00:07:55,428 Speaker 1: wide receiver is beating maybe two guys, maybe three guys, 166 00:07:55,548 --> 00:07:58,028 Speaker 1: sometimes one guy. Just he beats the corner, he makes 167 00:07:58,028 --> 00:08:00,348 Speaker 1: the catch, that's great, he turned a hand that ball. 168 00:08:00,388 --> 00:08:02,668 Speaker 1: The running back there's eleven guys coming for him. Eleven 169 00:08:03,308 --> 00:08:06,828 Speaker 1: It is every buddies on deck trying to stop McCaffrey 170 00:08:06,868 --> 00:08:09,508 Speaker 1: or Bijon or whoever, the Eric Dickerson, doesn't matter who 171 00:08:09,548 --> 00:08:11,468 Speaker 1: it was. So the fact that you can make a 172 00:08:11,508 --> 00:08:14,908 Speaker 1: long touchdown run or even just a short, relatively short 173 00:08:14,948 --> 00:08:15,828 Speaker 1: twenty yard run. 174 00:08:16,828 --> 00:08:18,828 Speaker 4: I know you had help with your blockers, but you. 175 00:08:18,868 --> 00:08:22,188 Speaker 1: Had so many guys coming for you. You run like 176 00:08:22,388 --> 00:08:24,628 Speaker 1: a fade or a nine roud as a wide receiver, 177 00:08:24,708 --> 00:08:27,588 Speaker 1: you blow past the corner. The quarterback makes the throw. 178 00:08:27,628 --> 00:08:30,068 Speaker 1: You are a crazy athlete. It's a beautiful, majestic play. 179 00:08:30,868 --> 00:08:34,668 Speaker 1: But Barry, I mean I say this all the time. Barry, 180 00:08:34,748 --> 00:08:36,828 Speaker 1: every single year of his career led the league and 181 00:08:36,908 --> 00:08:39,828 Speaker 1: runs of over twenty yards. He also led the league 182 00:08:39,828 --> 00:08:43,108 Speaker 1: and runs for a loss. Every single year of his career. 183 00:08:43,148 --> 00:08:45,188 Speaker 1: He had a lot of runs for a loss. But 184 00:08:45,268 --> 00:08:48,348 Speaker 1: when he was nine, ten, twelve yards behind line of scrimmage, 185 00:08:48,388 --> 00:08:50,668 Speaker 1: I'm telling you you blame me. You weren't looking for 186 00:08:50,748 --> 00:08:52,628 Speaker 1: Herman Moore. You were looking for him. And I love 187 00:08:52,708 --> 00:08:54,508 Speaker 1: running backs. I will always stand up for them. It's 188 00:08:54,588 --> 00:08:55,148 Speaker 1: running backs. 189 00:08:55,988 --> 00:08:58,428 Speaker 2: It is actually a true question. The answer is see 190 00:08:58,508 --> 00:09:06,548 Speaker 2: Tavon Austin. Yes, all right, final throw it on Thursday topic. 191 00:09:06,628 --> 00:09:09,708 Speaker 2: Marshall Lynch and Rob Goronkowski were elite players during your 192 00:09:09,748 --> 00:09:12,548 Speaker 2: UNFL careers. We know this, but they also shine when 193 00:09:12,588 --> 00:09:15,348 Speaker 2: the cameras and the microphones were focused on them. They 194 00:09:15,388 --> 00:09:18,428 Speaker 2: always stepped up in a pinch, and that pinch was 195 00:09:18,468 --> 00:09:21,988 Speaker 2: Super Bowl media day opening nights.

He look so excuse me. 231 00:10:48,748 --> 00:10:50,908 Speaker 5: We remember Marshall Lynch and that's one of the reasons 232 00:10:50,948 --> 00:10:53,548 Speaker 5: why we love him because he's uncanned and I want 233 00:10:53,588 --> 00:10:54,348 Speaker 5: to see him do bore. 234 00:10:54,628 --> 00:10:55,788 Speaker 4: Yeah, I'd like that shot. 235 00:10:55,828 --> 00:10:58,628 Speaker 3: The problem is, it's who would I want to see 236 00:10:58,668 --> 00:11:01,948 Speaker 3: at the podium for Super Bowl Media Day? And when 237 00:11:01,948 --> 00:11:04,388 Speaker 3: I think of Marshawn, Marshaan is going to give me 238 00:11:04,508 --> 00:11:04,948 Speaker 3: one line. 239 00:11:04,988 --> 00:11:06,708 Speaker 4: He's going to have one little thing, and no matter 240 00:11:06,748 --> 00:11:07,628 Speaker 4: what I asked. 241 00:11:07,388 --> 00:11:09,628 Speaker 3: Him, he's going to respond with the same with the 242 00:11:09,668 --> 00:11:13,148 Speaker 3: same answer. Whereas with Gronk, Gronk is going to give 243 00:11:13,188 --> 00:11:15,228 Speaker 3: me something. Gronk is going to give me something to 244 00:11:15,308 --> 00:11:18,148 Speaker 3: laugh to, something to get motivated to. I mean, the 245 00:11:18,228 --> 00:11:21,468 Speaker 3: guy dented the Lombardi tophy like, this is somebody who 246 00:11:21,548 --> 00:11:23,148 Speaker 3: I want to be able to get in front of 247 00:11:23,228 --> 00:11:26,108 Speaker 3: listen to his stories to see his personality. You don't 248 00:11:26,148 --> 00:11:28,708 Speaker 3: know what you're gonna get with Gronk, so KB I 249 00:11:28,748 --> 00:11:30,428 Speaker 3: gotta go at Big Robert GRONKOWSI. 250 00:11:30,508 --> 00:11:31,588 Speaker 4: That's that's that's where I'm going. 251 00:11:31,668 --> 00:11:34,348 Speaker 1: If I remember one year, the Gronk had an injury 252 00:11:34,388 --> 00:11:36,508 Speaker 1: he was working through and everyone was it was the 253 00:11:36,508 --> 00:11:39,028 Speaker 1: biggest storyline of the game. And he shut up to 254 00:11:39,068 --> 00:11:41,988 Speaker 1: media day super tense and super tight lip because all 255 00:11:42,028 --> 00:11:44,268 Speaker 1: anyone was asking him was the about the injury, and 256 00:11:44,308 --> 00:11:46,508 Speaker 1: you knew obviously he was under strict orders Rob don't 257 00:11:46,508 --> 00:11:49,228 Speaker 1: say anything, so he just kept repeating the same answer, 258 00:11:49,268 --> 00:11:52,468 Speaker 1: and it was really anti climactic. Marshawn's is this kind 259 00:11:52,468 --> 00:11:55,268 Speaker 1: of performance art. To have the commitment to that, to 260 00:11:55,428 --> 00:11:58,028 Speaker 1: continue to say the same answer over and over to 261 00:11:58,068 --> 00:11:59,228 Speaker 1: every single different. 262 00:11:59,028 --> 00:12:00,748 Speaker 4: Questions, Eventually you would break. 263 00:12:00,828 --> 00:12:02,828 Speaker 1: Eventually you would feel like I'm doing shtick here and 264 00:12:02,908 --> 00:12:05,308 Speaker 1: have to really give answers that are authentic. It was 265 00:12:05,308 --> 00:12:07,268 Speaker 1: an amazing thing, not only that he did it, but 266 00:12:07,308 --> 00:12:10,068 Speaker 1: he stuck to it. It's the most famous one ever 267 00:12:10,108 --> 00:12:12,188 Speaker 1: and it should be for a reason. I think he 268 00:12:12,268 --> 00:12:14,148 Speaker 1: probably has some sort of Uber Eats commercial he did 269 00:12:14,148 --> 00:12:16,428 Speaker 1: from it or something, and he's monetized and God bless him. 270 00:12:16,508 --> 00:12:17,868 Speaker 4: But that's at all time one of one. 271 00:12:18,188 --> 00:12:20,828 Speaker 2: Can you imagine Kyle doing an entire GMFB where you 272 00:12:20,908 --> 00:12:23,108 Speaker 2: just have the same answer over and over again, and like, 273 00:12:23,148 --> 00:12:24,908 Speaker 2: no matter what we ask you, it's just like, this 274 00:12:25,388 --> 00:12:27,148 Speaker 2: is what I'm sticking with, this is what I'm sicking with. 275 00:12:27,428 --> 00:12:28,748 Speaker 2: I actually think you could do it. I think you 276 00:12:28,748 --> 00:12:29,628 Speaker 2: can commit. 277 00:12:29,388 --> 00:12:29,668 Speaker 6: To the bit. 278 00:12:31,588 --> 00:12:33,428 Speaker 4: I did it to the five Sea Block yesterday. You 279 00:12:33,428 --> 00:12:34,228 Speaker 4: guys didn't need to notice. 280 00:12:34,228 --> 00:12:36,628 Speaker 1: That's saying the same thing over and over it anytime, 281 00:12:37,228 --> 00:12:37,708 Speaker 1: any time. 282 00:12:41,468 --> 00:12:43,308 Speaker 2: The Seahawks are going to the Super Bowl for the 283 00:12:43,388 --> 00:12:46,548 Speaker 2: fourth time in franchise history. Let's hear how they're feeling 284 00:12:46,588 --> 00:12:49,388 Speaker 2: with the boots on the ground. The friend of GMFB, 285 00:12:49,548 --> 00:12:51,748 Speaker 2: a man who has co hosted the show with us 286 00:12:51,748 --> 00:12:59,948 Speaker 2: in the pack Seahawks safety Julian Love. Jillian, you made 287 00:12:59,988 --> 00:13:02,148 Speaker 2: a choice without a tire today, we would have just 288 00:13:02,148 --> 00:13:04,308 Speaker 2: said always wearing all Seahawks. But you knew we were 289 00:13:04,388 --> 00:13:05,228 Speaker 2: going on with today. 290 00:13:05,708 --> 00:13:08,028 Speaker 7: I knew who was going to be on. Yeah, so 291 00:13:08,028 --> 00:13:10,468 Speaker 7: I got to represent, of course absolutely well. 292 00:13:10,468 --> 00:13:13,388 Speaker 2: The green kind of matches oddly enough. So Julian, let's 293 00:13:13,428 --> 00:13:16,028 Speaker 2: go back to Sunday. You're on the field. You watch 294 00:13:16,148 --> 00:13:20,348 Speaker 2: Pooka unceremoniously stay in bounds, which allowed the clock to 295 00:13:20,468 --> 00:13:24,668 Speaker 2: hit zero, making you, guys the NFC champion. What did 296 00:13:24,708 --> 00:13:27,308 Speaker 2: that moment feel like as your team rush the field 297 00:13:27,428 --> 00:13:29,148 Speaker 2: at home in front of the twelves. 298 00:13:29,548 --> 00:13:32,308 Speaker 8: Yeah, I mean it was emotional for sure. You know, 299 00:13:32,308 --> 00:13:34,468 Speaker 8: it's been a journey. This team has been pretty special 300 00:13:34,508 --> 00:13:34,828 Speaker 8: to be on. 301 00:13:36,108 --> 00:13:36,348 Speaker 4: Yeah. 302 00:13:36,388 --> 00:13:39,508 Speaker 8: When I saw the ref winding his arm for that 303 00:13:39,548 --> 00:13:41,788 Speaker 8: clock running, helmetter. 304 00:13:41,548 --> 00:13:46,508 Speaker 7: Flying, people were crying. It was a really cool, surreal moment. 305 00:13:46,748 --> 00:13:48,388 Speaker 1: Let's get through this and then we can talk more 306 00:13:48,428 --> 00:13:50,308 Speaker 1: about moving forward because you have so many amazing things 307 00:13:50,348 --> 00:13:53,548 Speaker 1: to talk about. Let's go though to late third quarter. 308 00:13:53,668 --> 00:13:55,548 Speaker 1: You guys are up thirty one to twenty. The third 309 00:13:55,588 --> 00:13:58,348 Speaker 1: and twelve becomes fourth and twelve, and your teammate, your dude, 310 00:13:58,388 --> 00:14:00,908 Speaker 1: Riek Willen, gets called for a taunting penalty on the 311 00:14:00,988 --> 00:14:03,228 Speaker 1: Rams sideline before anything that came after it. 312 00:14:03,268 --> 00:14:04,348 Speaker 4: What did you think of the penalty? 313 00:14:05,148 --> 00:14:06,868 Speaker 7: I mean, that's just the rules. You know, we got 314 00:14:06,868 --> 00:14:08,948 Speaker 7: to play by the rules. Tanting is a thing. 315 00:14:09,028 --> 00:14:13,068 Speaker 8: It's very real. He understands that. You know, we hold 316 00:14:13,068 --> 00:14:14,868 Speaker 8: each other accountable. We let each other know, you know 317 00:14:14,908 --> 00:14:17,028 Speaker 8: what the deal is well. He said it was a 318 00:14:17,068 --> 00:14:20,148 Speaker 8: third quarter, and so you can see this getting into 319 00:14:20,188 --> 00:14:22,948 Speaker 8: a little bit. He said it the third quarter, Like, 320 00:14:22,988 --> 00:14:24,588 Speaker 8: we have a whole quarter to play. You can't take 321 00:14:24,588 --> 00:14:27,068 Speaker 8: yourself out the game. It was a poor decision and 322 00:14:27,468 --> 00:14:30,828 Speaker 8: a bad moment for sure, but we move on. 323 00:14:31,468 --> 00:14:32,828 Speaker 7: He's going to learn from it, for sure. 324 00:14:32,788 --> 00:14:33,228 Speaker 4: No doubt. 325 00:14:33,268 --> 00:14:35,308 Speaker 1: And you know, it's tough because you get the penalty 326 00:14:35,348 --> 00:14:37,228 Speaker 1: and then you know it's like the next play there's 327 00:14:37,228 --> 00:14:38,988 Speaker 1: a touchdown and oh my god, it feels like the 328 00:14:39,028 --> 00:14:39,788 Speaker 1: sky is falling. 329 00:14:40,068 --> 00:14:43,108 Speaker 4: So just let's be constructive about this. You guys are 330 00:14:43,108 --> 00:14:43,388 Speaker 4: on the. 331 00:14:43,348 --> 00:14:46,348 Speaker 1: Sideline, there's a conversation you mid game have to calm 332 00:14:46,388 --> 00:14:49,148 Speaker 1: down and continue to play. How do you handle that 333 00:14:49,188 --> 00:14:50,788 Speaker 1: and what gets said in real time? 334 00:14:51,628 --> 00:14:55,188 Speaker 8: Yeah, it was a lot of personalities for sure, talking 335 00:14:55,268 --> 00:14:58,628 Speaker 8: about what we should be doing. And I was just like, listen, 336 00:14:59,028 --> 00:15:01,148 Speaker 8: let me talk to Reek, make sure that I just 337 00:15:01,188 --> 00:15:04,548 Speaker 8: love them up and said, dude, obviously that was a 338 00:15:04,548 --> 00:15:05,268 Speaker 8: bad decision. 339 00:15:05,548 --> 00:15:07,588 Speaker 7: It was a mistake, but we got a whole quarter 340 00:15:07,628 --> 00:15:09,108 Speaker 7: to play. He can't be shut down. 341 00:15:09,148 --> 00:15:11,548 Speaker 8: And you know, obviously the next play after the tunally 342 00:15:11,628 --> 00:15:13,828 Speaker 8: was a touchdown, and so we got to shake back. 343 00:15:13,868 --> 00:15:16,788 Speaker 8: We have fifteen minutes to punch our tickets still and 344 00:15:16,828 --> 00:15:20,148 Speaker 8: so there's a lot of that. Obviously we are going 345 00:15:20,268 --> 00:15:22,548 Speaker 8: to be fired up. That was that was a critical moment. 346 00:15:22,988 --> 00:15:25,588 Speaker 8: Third down stop, we get the ball. Backer often is 347 00:15:25,628 --> 00:15:29,588 Speaker 8: cooking so far, but that's what it is, like we 348 00:15:29,788 --> 00:15:30,908 Speaker 8: understand how each other works. 349 00:15:30,948 --> 00:15:34,148 Speaker 7: That's kind of what makes a special on defense. Yeah. 350 00:15:34,228 --> 00:15:36,348 Speaker 3: Well, one thing that I was really impressed about Julian 351 00:15:36,548 --> 00:15:38,668 Speaker 3: was one of the people that came over to Rieke 352 00:15:38,708 --> 00:15:41,748 Speaker 3: Wolin that at that time was your rookie, Nick emn Worri. 353 00:15:42,348 --> 00:15:44,668 Speaker 4: How impressive have you? How impressed have you. 354 00:15:44,668 --> 00:15:47,428 Speaker 3: Been about that young rookie not only on the football field, 355 00:15:47,468 --> 00:15:50,188 Speaker 3: but it looks like in those types of situations he's 356 00:15:50,188 --> 00:15:51,988 Speaker 3: not afraid to stand up and say, hey, listen, this 357 00:15:52,068 --> 00:15:53,668 Speaker 3: is not the standard at which we operate. 358 00:15:53,868 --> 00:15:55,348 Speaker 4: How impressive has he been for you? 359 00:15:55,588 --> 00:15:59,708 Speaker 7: He's been incredible from the jump the whole process. You know, 360 00:15:59,788 --> 00:16:02,068 Speaker 7: rookie year is a long year, as you know, and. 361 00:16:02,028 --> 00:16:04,908 Speaker 8: So you know, him being able to get our defense, 362 00:16:05,348 --> 00:16:07,348 Speaker 8: you know, be you know, the leader that he is. 363 00:16:08,788 --> 00:16:10,988 Speaker 7: Is pretty special on his part, and it's been from 364 00:16:10,988 --> 00:16:11,388 Speaker 7: the jump. 365 00:16:11,628 --> 00:16:13,988 Speaker 8: I think what's special about our defense and our room 366 00:16:14,028 --> 00:16:16,628 Speaker 8: is that everybody has to say. It doesn't matter if 367 00:16:16,628 --> 00:16:18,908 Speaker 8: you're a rookie, doesn't matter if you're ten year, eleven 368 00:16:18,988 --> 00:16:21,588 Speaker 8: year vet. Everyone has to say of what they see, 369 00:16:21,628 --> 00:16:23,628 Speaker 8: what they feel. In that moment, he was saying how 370 00:16:23,668 --> 00:16:24,588 Speaker 8: he felt for sure. 371 00:16:24,548 --> 00:16:28,188 Speaker 5: Jillian, You guys with the Seahawks historically have one of 372 00:16:28,228 --> 00:16:31,188 Speaker 5: the best teams in NFL history, with only three losses, 373 00:16:31,228 --> 00:16:34,868 Speaker 5: giving up nine combined points. When you look at this 374 00:16:35,348 --> 00:16:37,908 Speaker 5: offense that you're bought to face with the Patriots, what 375 00:16:38,068 --> 00:16:39,628 Speaker 5: is the biggest challenge they present? 376 00:16:40,188 --> 00:16:42,548 Speaker 8: I think you have to start with the quarterback. Drake 377 00:16:42,668 --> 00:16:45,668 Speaker 8: May is playing at a very high level this year, 378 00:16:45,868 --> 00:16:49,228 Speaker 8: especially when he's off script. He's making it, you know, 379 00:16:49,228 --> 00:16:51,108 Speaker 8: and he's making it happen. And it was clean pocket 380 00:16:51,468 --> 00:16:54,748 Speaker 8: scrambling with his legs, you know, whatever, It starts with him, 381 00:16:55,228 --> 00:16:56,868 Speaker 8: and just the identity of their team is just a 382 00:16:56,908 --> 00:17:00,348 Speaker 8: tough This is a tough team, especially offensively. They like 383 00:17:00,348 --> 00:17:03,628 Speaker 8: to run the ball and you know, trying to establish 384 00:17:03,668 --> 00:17:06,468 Speaker 8: the run. But overall it's just gonna be a battle 385 00:17:06,468 --> 00:17:09,988 Speaker 8: because you know, they definitely they've earned their spot. 386 00:17:10,388 --> 00:17:12,588 Speaker 7: That's by being in talking resilient led by a great 387 00:17:12,628 --> 00:17:13,068 Speaker 7: head coach. 388 00:17:13,788 --> 00:17:16,668 Speaker 2: Speaking of identities, Julian. Since we have the two week 389 00:17:16,708 --> 00:17:19,668 Speaker 2: break between the title games and the Super Bowl, people 390 00:17:19,748 --> 00:17:22,268 Speaker 2: spent a lot of times trying to pinpoint what these 391 00:17:22,308 --> 00:17:24,788 Speaker 2: teams are about. In the matchups. People are trying to 392 00:17:24,788 --> 00:17:27,868 Speaker 2: make comparisons to you guys and the legendary legion of 393 00:17:28,028 --> 00:17:31,148 Speaker 2: Boom team. But the twenty twenty five Seahawks defense may 394 00:17:31,188 --> 00:17:34,548 Speaker 2: have another nickname, unfolding the dark Side. After you recovered 395 00:17:34,548 --> 00:17:36,588 Speaker 2: a fumble against the Niners in the divisional round, you 396 00:17:36,668 --> 00:17:39,868 Speaker 2: posted you don't know the power of the dark Side. 397 00:17:40,068 --> 00:17:42,508 Speaker 2: Explain to us what power of the dark Side is this? 398 00:17:42,708 --> 00:17:43,788 Speaker 2: Or the Seahawks defense. 399 00:17:44,708 --> 00:17:45,348 Speaker 7: I love that. 400 00:17:46,308 --> 00:17:50,108 Speaker 8: Yeah, it kind of started as a casual breakdown early 401 00:17:50,108 --> 00:17:52,868 Speaker 8: in the season. You know, the D line kind of 402 00:17:52,868 --> 00:17:55,828 Speaker 8: coined it and that was kind of their thing.

You see the fans 410 00:18:07,708 --> 00:18:08,868 Speaker 7: wearing the dark Side gear. 411 00:18:09,508 --> 00:18:10,108 Speaker 6: Uh. 412 00:18:10,428 --> 00:18:11,788 Speaker 8: It kind of took on a life of its own 413 00:18:11,828 --> 00:18:13,988 Speaker 8: as we were just playing good ball. And so yeah, 414 00:18:14,068 --> 00:18:16,908 Speaker 8: we uh somehow coined to turn the you know, the 415 00:18:16,988 --> 00:18:17,628 Speaker 8: dark side. 416 00:18:17,548 --> 00:18:19,628 Speaker 7: Obviously from uh, you know, Darth Vader. 417 00:18:19,868 --> 00:18:22,548 Speaker 1: All right, So who do you look to yourself, Julian, 418 00:18:22,628 --> 00:18:25,908 Speaker 1: or who's who on the deep?

But now 457 00:20:13,428 --> 00:20:14,588 Speaker 4: you have a different head coach. 458 00:20:14,628 --> 00:20:18,228 Speaker 3: First, tell me what are similar attributes about the two 459 00:20:18,268 --> 00:20:20,468 Speaker 3: and then what may be different about your two coaches? 460 00:20:21,148 --> 00:20:22,508 Speaker 7: Oh?

You might hear him talk and he's 465 00:20:35,668 --> 00:20:39,988 Speaker 8: a little more introverted. But you know, what I love 466 00:20:40,028 --> 00:20:42,348 Speaker 8: about Mike is that he just he knows football so well. 467 00:20:43,348 --> 00:20:45,388 Speaker 8: There hasn't been a defensive mind that I've been around that, 468 00:20:45,548 --> 00:20:49,148 Speaker 8: you know, I appreciate it more probably, And then the 469 00:20:49,148 --> 00:20:50,908 Speaker 8: special thing about him is that he's just vulnerable and 470 00:20:50,988 --> 00:20:52,628 Speaker 8: open and very self aware of like. 471 00:20:52,588 --> 00:20:55,428 Speaker 7: Who he is, and so he lets players be us. 472 00:20:55,468 --> 00:20:58,308 Speaker 8: Like, you know, we have guys who are all out 473 00:20:58,348 --> 00:21:01,668 Speaker 8: into the spectrum, whereas you know, more swaggy kind of 474 00:21:01,748 --> 00:21:04,348 Speaker 8: you know, you know, guys who you know, carry their 475 00:21:04,428 --> 00:21:06,428 Speaker 8: their motion on their shoulder, are on their sleeve. 476 00:21:07,428 --> 00:21:08,268 Speaker 4: He lets him be them. 477 00:21:08,388 --> 00:21:10,988 Speaker 8: I think that's what allowed us to be so successful 478 00:21:11,028 --> 00:21:13,428 Speaker 8: this year, is that Mike has just allowed us to 479 00:21:13,468 --> 00:21:14,028 Speaker 8: be us. 480 00:21:14,668 --> 00:21:17,588 Speaker 3: Well, Jilian, you just said he's a straight talker, he's smart, 481 00:21:17,588 --> 00:21:19,908 Speaker 3: and he loves football. Because those three things that also 482 00:21:19,948 --> 00:21:22,868 Speaker 3: describe yourself. Now we both went to Notre Dame. We're 483 00:21:22,868 --> 00:21:25,268 Speaker 3: not we're not any strange. We're not a stranger to 484 00:21:25,388 --> 00:21:27,828 Speaker 3: the bright lights. But there's something different about playing in 485 00:21:27,868 --> 00:21:30,548 Speaker 3: the Super Bowl. Have you taken time, you know, throughout 486 00:21:30,548 --> 00:21:33,788 Speaker 3: the next few days to think about what the Super. 487 00:21:33,548 --> 00:21:35,348 Speaker 4: Bowl, the Super Bowl Sunday is going to feel like 488 00:21:35,388 --> 00:21:35,828 Speaker 4: for you? 489 00:21:35,908 --> 00:21:38,388 Speaker 7: Yeah, I've tried to wrap my head around it. 490 00:21:38,828 --> 00:21:40,828 Speaker 8: I think I have to leave with gratitude honestly, and 491 00:21:40,868 --> 00:21:43,908 Speaker 8: just enjoy the moment. Uh, this is a this is 492 00:21:43,908 --> 00:21:46,108 Speaker 8: a super Bowl. It's really special. You know, we're excited, 493 00:21:46,108 --> 00:21:48,708 Speaker 8: but it's all said and done. You know, it's eleven 494 00:21:48,748 --> 00:21:51,868 Speaker 8: of us on that field playing ball. So I got 495 00:21:51,868 --> 00:21:55,028 Speaker 8: to keep it that. I know, my family, everybody's excited, wife, 496 00:21:55,588 --> 00:21:56,748 Speaker 8: you know, is all pumped up. 497 00:21:57,748 --> 00:21:59,428 Speaker 7: But it's a work week. We got to try to 498 00:21:59,428 --> 00:22:00,708 Speaker 7: win a game in two weeks. 499 00:22:01,228 --> 00:22:04,308 Speaker 8: And so that's kind of the mindset is appreciative, grati 500 00:22:05,028 --> 00:22:08,668 Speaker 8: embrace the moment, but when the whistle blows, it's time 501 00:22:08,708 --> 00:22:09,148 Speaker 8: to play. 502 00:22:09,308 --> 00:22:11,588 Speaker 2: We want to further know about that mindset though. Within 503 00:22:11,628 --> 00:22:13,508 Speaker 2: this locker room, you said, there's eleven guys on the field. 504 00:22:13,508 --> 00:22:16,228 Speaker 2: That's when your defense is out there. But it seems 505 00:22:16,268 --> 00:22:19,188 Speaker 2: like this team gives off the vibe that all fifty 506 00:22:19,228 --> 00:22:21,948 Speaker 2: three have each other's backs, to the point where in 507 00:22:21,988 --> 00:22:24,548 Speaker 2: the middle of the season, the members of the press 508 00:22:24,548 --> 00:22:28,948 Speaker 2: were asking one of your teammates, Ernest about Sam Darnold, 509 00:22:28,948 --> 00:22:31,148 Speaker 2: your quarterback. He had a rough game, he had his back, 510 00:22:31,188 --> 00:22:33,548 Speaker 2: then he had his back again. Let's take a listen 511 00:22:33,588 --> 00:22:35,588 Speaker 2: to what one of your defenders had to say about 512 00:22:35,628 --> 00:22:36,268 Speaker 2: your quarterback. 513 00:22:36,668 --> 00:22:38,868 Speaker 9: I mean, Sam and ball are like if we want 514 00:22:38,908 --> 00:22:42,508 Speaker 9: to try to define Sam by this game and what man, 515 00:22:42,588 --> 00:22:45,628 Speaker 9: Sam's been had us in every game. So for him 516 00:22:45,668 --> 00:22:48,308 Speaker 9: to sit there and say, oh, that's my fault, No, 517 00:22:48,388 --> 00:22:50,988 Speaker 9: it's not. It was plays that defensively, we could have 518 00:22:51,028 --> 00:22:52,988 Speaker 9: made plays. There were opportunities where we could have got 519 00:22:53,028 --> 00:22:57,988 Speaker 9: better stops. Yeah, I mean, like it's football, man, he's 520 00:22:57,988 --> 00:23:00,588 Speaker 9: our quarterback, we got his back end. You got anything 521 00:23:00,628 --> 00:23:05,788 Speaker 9: to say, quite frankly, everything that I said on it, Sam, 522 00:23:05,988 --> 00:23:07,828 Speaker 9: what do you had like three hundred some of yours? 523 00:23:09,428 --> 00:23:10,268 Speaker 4: Hooping? Hooping? 524 00:23:10,308 --> 00:23:13,508 Speaker 9: Sam's a baller, like I said, man, doubt Sam if 525 00:23:13,548 --> 00:23:15,188 Speaker 9: you want to, Sam's gonna show up every time. 526 00:23:15,268 --> 00:23:16,028 Speaker 4: And that's what we known. 527 00:23:16,108 --> 00:23:18,388 Speaker 9: And that's why I stood on that, stood on that 528 00:23:18,508 --> 00:23:20,268 Speaker 9: night for him, and I'll do it all over again. 529 00:23:22,068 --> 00:23:25,468 Speaker 2: Ernest Jones so happy to say stood on it hooping? 530 00:23:25,828 --> 00:23:27,828 Speaker 2: What do you think about that? Having his back then? 531 00:23:27,948 --> 00:23:29,708 Speaker 2: And now what kind of quarterback Sam is? 532 00:23:30,308 --> 00:23:32,548 Speaker 7: Yeah, I'm glad your censor button works. I was just 533 00:23:32,588 --> 00:23:34,988 Speaker 7: sure what version of that you're going to get. 534 00:23:36,428 --> 00:23:38,748 Speaker 8: Yeah, it's it's a belief, it's a love for each other, 535 00:23:38,788 --> 00:23:40,748 Speaker 8: and even greater than the fifty three, like you mentioned, 536 00:23:40,788 --> 00:23:43,748 Speaker 8: like McDonald has stressed that it's seventy of us, you know, 537 00:23:43,828 --> 00:23:46,748 Speaker 8: peace glog guys included. We just were all this together. 538 00:23:46,788 --> 00:23:49,548 Speaker 8: And Sam, I mean, he shows up every day early. 539 00:23:49,628 --> 00:23:54,908 Speaker 8: He obviously he's leaving late. He he cares. It's about 540 00:23:54,988 --> 00:23:57,028 Speaker 8: leading us, you know. We we just trust him to 541 00:23:57,068 --> 00:24:00,148 Speaker 8: the fullest. When he speaks to everybody listens.

He gave my daughter her first book, and 641 00:28:33,628 --> 00:28:36,188 Speaker 10: that was just a significant thing for him to do. 642 00:28:36,268 --> 00:28:38,668 Speaker 10: But also when we did our introductions at the Giants 643 00:28:39,068 --> 00:28:41,948 Speaker 10: back in twenty twenty, when he first introduced himself, he 644 00:28:41,988 --> 00:28:44,828 Speaker 10: didn't mention that he was a Jim Thorpe warner, Jim 645 00:28:44,868 --> 00:28:47,308 Speaker 10: Thorpe winner, you know. So he's a guy who's very humble, 646 00:28:47,388 --> 00:28:49,308 Speaker 10: He's a guy who works hard. He's a guy who's 647 00:28:49,388 --> 00:28:51,908 Speaker 10: go out there on Sunday and is a signal caller. 648 00:28:51,948 --> 00:28:53,388 Speaker 10: So I'm excited for him to go out there and 649 00:28:53,708 --> 00:28:56,148 Speaker 10: have a great showcase.

The Raiders beat the Patriots 655 00:29:07,188 --> 00:29:10,188 Speaker 3: in Week one. Did you see this type of season 656 00:29:10,228 --> 00:29:11,828 Speaker 3: coming for the Patriots? 657 00:29:11,948 --> 00:29:13,548 Speaker 4: And what do you think of Drake Man and his 658 00:29:13,588 --> 00:29:14,748 Speaker 4: performance so far this year? 659 00:29:14,948 --> 00:29:17,148 Speaker 10: Yeah, I feel like Drake May came from a very 660 00:29:17,188 --> 00:29:20,508 Speaker 10: high profile draft class. Jaden Daniels set the standing last 661 00:29:20,548 --> 00:29:23,188 Speaker 10: year with his playoff run, so I feel like Drake 662 00:29:23,228 --> 00:29:25,668 Speaker 10: May is keeping up with that standard. I wouldn't say 663 00:29:25,708 --> 00:29:28,548 Speaker 10: I would have expected this season to turn away. They did, 664 00:29:28,588 --> 00:29:30,188 Speaker 10: but I feel like the coach that they got being 665 00:29:30,228 --> 00:29:32,628 Speaker 10: built over there is being seen on Sunday, So I'm 666 00:29:32,668 --> 00:29:34,428 Speaker 10: excited to see what they're going to bring forth. 667 00:29:34,428 --> 00:29:36,908 Speaker 6: When they play the Seahawks next Sunday. 668 00:29:37,108 --> 00:29:39,708 Speaker 2: One of the things that we who talk about football 669 00:29:39,708 --> 00:29:42,468 Speaker 2: every day and frankly fans of the NFL understand in 670 00:29:42,508 --> 00:29:44,748 Speaker 2: its purest form, is that New York seems to be 671 00:29:44,788 --> 00:29:48,188 Speaker 2: one of the most intense media markets. Now you played 672 00:29:48,228 --> 00:29:51,348 Speaker 2: for the Giants. Sam Darnold was drafted by the Jets. 673 00:29:51,428 --> 00:29:54,388 Speaker 2: Can you speak to the pressure that he may have 674 00:29:54,508 --> 00:29:57,668 Speaker 2: felt when he was quarterbacking that team across the street, 675 00:29:57,908 --> 00:30:00,068 Speaker 2: and why it might feel so satisfying for him to 676 00:30:00,108 --> 00:30:01,708 Speaker 2: make it to the Super Bowl with a different team. 677 00:30:01,828 --> 00:30:06,308 Speaker 6: Yeah, no, for sure. I remember playing Donald at USC. 678 00:30:06,508 --> 00:30:09,268 Speaker 10: I was a fellow brewing, you know, So USC versus 679 00:30:09,548 --> 00:30:12,388 Speaker 10: l A Robbie was a very big thing. And I 680 00:30:12,428 --> 00:30:14,708 Speaker 10: remember just him being a guy who was laid back, 681 00:30:14,748 --> 00:30:16,788 Speaker 10: but it was a fishing thrower on the move, you know. 682 00:30:16,948 --> 00:30:19,628 Speaker 10: So being in that LA market to that New York market, 683 00:30:19,748 --> 00:30:20,748 Speaker 10: that's hee it tensifies. 684 00:30:20,828 --> 00:30:22,548 Speaker 6: But I feel like he was well prepared. 685 00:30:22,228 --> 00:30:23,988 Speaker 10: For it, and I felt like his journey is just 686 00:30:24,028 --> 00:30:26,908 Speaker 10: a testament of being resilient. 687 00:30:27,268 --> 00:30:29,188 Speaker 2: So you guys played each other in college. 688 00:30:28,828 --> 00:30:29,988 Speaker 6: Play each other in college. 689 00:30:30,188 --> 00:30:32,308 Speaker 2: Did you overlap one year or what were those games like? 690 00:30:32,508 --> 00:30:35,068 Speaker 10: So I got played against him one year. I remember 691 00:30:35,108 --> 00:30:37,348 Speaker 10: watching him when I was out the game when they 692 00:30:37,388 --> 00:30:39,748 Speaker 10: played Penn State for the Rose Bowl game. That was 693 00:30:39,788 --> 00:30:43,508 Speaker 10: amazing him to say, kwan, I have a shootout. But yeah, 694 00:30:43,588 --> 00:30:46,308 Speaker 10: as I said before, it was just a testimony of 695 00:30:46,308 --> 00:30:48,428 Speaker 10: his growth. I remember last year people said that he 696 00:30:48,468 --> 00:30:51,308 Speaker 10: could win big games because of the performance with the Vikings. 697 00:30:51,588 --> 00:30:53,868 Speaker 10: Now he took Seattle to one of the biggest games 698 00:30:53,908 --> 00:30:55,828 Speaker 10: of the season, totally. 699 00:30:55,988 --> 00:30:56,188 Speaker 4: Yeah. 700 00:30:56,348 --> 00:30:57,588 Speaker 5: I feel like I feel like we're going a lot 701 00:30:57,628 --> 00:31:01,668 Speaker 5: of different circles. Former John former Raiders. We got all 702 00:31:01,708 --> 00:31:03,628 Speaker 5: the things, man, So we share a lot of comments. 703 00:31:03,668 --> 00:31:08,348 Speaker 5: So you you've actually also played with linebacker Robert Splint. 704 00:31:08,508 --> 00:31:11,068 Speaker 5: I want to say his name Spleen. Yeah, and he 705 00:31:11,188 --> 00:31:13,828 Speaker 5: suffered that injury Sunday and we haven't heard it really 706 00:31:13,948 --> 00:31:16,948 Speaker 5: much of an update for the Super Bowl yet. What 707 00:31:16,988 --> 00:31:20,148 Speaker 5: does that defense look like without him there? 708 00:31:20,228 --> 00:31:22,628 Speaker 4: How much of a preference does he put on the football? 709 00:31:22,948 --> 00:31:26,348 Speaker 10: Yeah, Splaine is a football junkie, man. I remember playing 710 00:31:26,348 --> 00:31:27,548 Speaker 10: with him last year. I feel like he's one of 711 00:31:27,548 --> 00:31:30,028 Speaker 10: the best linebackers I played with. He's a great signal caller, 712 00:31:30,228 --> 00:31:33,308 Speaker 10: he's a leader, and he's had great ball production. And 713 00:31:33,468 --> 00:31:35,828 Speaker 10: me knowing him, I felt as if he's going to 714 00:31:35,908 --> 00:31:38,308 Speaker 10: make sure he's playing on Sunday. It's one of the 715 00:31:38,308 --> 00:31:40,828 Speaker 10: biggest games of his career. He's not going to miss 716 00:31:40,868 --> 00:31:43,268 Speaker 10: this game and him being out there is going to 717 00:31:43,308 --> 00:31:45,708 Speaker 10: be major for their engine to get Rolland you know, 718 00:31:45,748 --> 00:31:48,588 Speaker 10: he's a captain of the defense and if he's not playing, 719 00:31:48,668 --> 00:31:50,548 Speaker 10: that's going to be a major effect on the defense. 720 00:31:50,628 --> 00:31:53,268 Speaker 10: But knowing him, he's going to be out there so 721 00:31:53,308 --> 00:31:57,508 Speaker 10: his kids can see this memory takes shape. 722 00:31:57,748 --> 00:32:01,108 Speaker 2: Tarnie, I got to ask you this. We heard on 723 00:32:01,228 --> 00:32:04,868 Speaker 2: Sunday Tom Brady talk about honestly anything for he brings 724 00:32:04,868 --> 00:32:06,388 Speaker 2: so up You're like, wait, what did he say about 725 00:32:06,388 --> 00:32:08,908 Speaker 2: that guy? So when Brady was speaking on Jackson Smith 726 00:32:08,948 --> 00:32:11,468 Speaker 2: and Juba and how talented he is because of his 727 00:32:11,548 --> 00:32:14,028 Speaker 2: shoulder plane, people kind of lost their minds because it's 728 00:32:14,028 --> 00:32:16,948 Speaker 2: like a brand new concept to the casual viewer, of course, 729 00:32:17,148 --> 00:32:19,908 Speaker 2: but probably not to you as a quarterback. What is 730 00:32:19,948 --> 00:32:23,028 Speaker 2: it about a receiver's shoulder plan? Why is jsn's elite 731 00:32:23,388 --> 00:32:26,188 Speaker 2: and what can you expand more on what Tom Brady. 732 00:32:25,948 --> 00:32:26,508 Speaker 6: Was talking about. 733 00:32:26,668 --> 00:32:29,828 Speaker 10: Yeah, first and foremost, getting a high praise comment from 734 00:32:29,828 --> 00:32:32,548 Speaker 10: one of the greatest technicians of the game is one 735 00:32:32,548 --> 00:32:33,108 Speaker 10: of the best. 736 00:32:32,948 --> 00:32:33,508 Speaker 6: Things you could do. 737 00:32:33,628 --> 00:32:36,588 Speaker 10: So salute to mister Smith on the season he has 738 00:32:36,628 --> 00:32:39,108 Speaker 10: been having. But I feel like when he's saying shoulder plane, 739 00:32:39,108 --> 00:32:41,508 Speaker 10: he's been to much body position, you know, And I 740 00:32:41,508 --> 00:32:45,228 Speaker 10: feel like as a player in the NFL, you're part 741 00:32:45,308 --> 00:32:49,348 Speaker 10: at one percent percentile. Now you having efficient body position 742 00:32:49,388 --> 00:32:51,908 Speaker 10: and body movement. It's hard for a defender to get 743 00:32:51,908 --> 00:32:53,308 Speaker 10: a cue on when you're going to get in and 744 00:32:53,348 --> 00:32:55,388 Speaker 10: out your break, you know. So now as a defender, 745 00:32:55,668 --> 00:32:57,348 Speaker 10: when you have a quarterback that's throwing the ball in 746 00:32:57,388 --> 00:32:59,708 Speaker 10: the tight rope with Sam donald Is and you got 747 00:32:59,708 --> 00:33:01,508 Speaker 10: a receiver it who's afiicihally getting out of his breaks. 748 00:33:01,588 --> 00:33:04,548 Speaker 10: Now you're just playing the game off reaction to film study. 749 00:33:04,468 --> 00:33:04,668 Speaker 4: You know. 750 00:33:04,708 --> 00:33:06,468 Speaker 10: And I haven't been doing DB's too well when they 751 00:33:06,508 --> 00:33:09,948 Speaker 10: guarded mister Smiths, so I hope he has a good showcasing. 752 00:33:10,028 --> 00:33:12,068 Speaker 10: But he got to go get mister Gonzalez, you know. 753 00:33:12,108 --> 00:33:13,748 Speaker 10: And that's one thing I like about this game is 754 00:33:13,788 --> 00:33:16,308 Speaker 10: going to be matchups on both ends. So I'm excited 755 00:33:16,308 --> 00:33:17,508 Speaker 10: to see what takes place. 756 00:33:17,588 --> 00:33:19,428 Speaker 2: You're doing great. We're treating you like a real vet here, 757 00:33:19,468 --> 00:33:22,028 Speaker 2: so we're going to keep going at this UNFC title game. 758 00:33:22,628 --> 00:33:25,148 Speaker 2: Third quarter. End of the third quarter, we see Reek 759 00:33:25,188 --> 00:33:28,188 Speaker 2: Willan barking a little bit. Now he's been warned, you know, 760 00:33:28,268 --> 00:33:30,748 Speaker 2: please stand down, don't do this anymore. And at the 761 00:33:30,828 --> 00:33:34,108 Speaker 2: end of this play pass defense looked great. Stands up 762 00:33:34,148 --> 00:33:36,788 Speaker 2: and he just keeps Jawn at Stafford does a little 763 00:33:36,828 --> 00:33:39,628 Speaker 2: hand motion. He gets flagged for this for taunting. He 764 00:33:39,668 --> 00:33:42,188 Speaker 2: had been told to stop. What do you make of 765 00:33:42,468 --> 00:33:47,748 Speaker 2: Reek Wollen's I'll just say, decision to interact with the 766 00:33:47,828 --> 00:33:50,908 Speaker 2: Rams this way, but also the response of his teammates 767 00:33:50,908 --> 00:33:52,428 Speaker 2: on the sideline to kind of get him straight. 768 00:33:52,788 --> 00:33:56,268 Speaker 10: Yeah, you know, this is a division rival, you know, 769 00:33:56,388 --> 00:33:57,788 Speaker 10: and I feel like it's a lot of things that have 770 00:33:57,788 --> 00:34:00,868 Speaker 10: been built up between his rivalry since he's been drafted. 771 00:34:01,228 --> 00:34:03,948 Speaker 10: He's a high profile guy as a defensive back. He's 772 00:34:03,948 --> 00:34:06,308 Speaker 10: definitely guy that I look at with his tape. But 773 00:34:07,548 --> 00:34:10,228 Speaker 10: you know, when you do certain things, you got to stand. 774 00:34:09,988 --> 00:34:10,708 Speaker 6: On business, you know. 775 00:34:10,748 --> 00:34:12,828 Speaker 10: And they went right at him the next play and 776 00:34:12,828 --> 00:34:14,348 Speaker 10: he got at a touchdown. But that's part of the 777 00:34:14,348 --> 00:34:16,868 Speaker 10: game as a defensive back, and I feel like his 778 00:34:16,908 --> 00:34:20,388 Speaker 10: team would just let him know that, you know, stay even, Keel, 779 00:34:20,708 --> 00:34:23,108 Speaker 10: we got the we got a fan base behind us, 780 00:34:23,468 --> 00:34:25,068 Speaker 10: and you got everything you need, so you don't need 781 00:34:25,148 --> 00:34:27,388 Speaker 10: to talk. Let your past do to talking the way you. 782 00:34:27,348 --> 00:34:28,588 Speaker 6: Explain it like that. It is true. 783 00:34:28,628 --> 00:34:31,028 Speaker 2: You've got one of the greatest quarterback technicians in the booth. 784 00:34:31,068 --> 00:34:33,748 Speaker 2: And then you got Stafford who's just absolutely wheeling and 785 00:34:33,748 --> 00:34:34,708 Speaker 2: he's like, oh are you. 786 00:34:34,668 --> 00:34:35,148 Speaker 4: Going to do that? 787 00:34:36,028 --> 00:34:37,908 Speaker 2: Okay, Well I'm just going to go right back at you. 788 00:34:37,988 --> 00:34:38,148 Speaker 4: Man. 789 00:34:38,188 --> 00:34:39,948 Speaker 2: You got to be able to go back out there 790 00:34:39,948 --> 00:34:40,788 Speaker 2: and turn things around. 791 00:34:40,908 --> 00:34:44,548 Speaker 5: Got to turn things immediately and just go back a 792 00:34:44,628 --> 00:34:48,428 Speaker 5: little bit bleeding blue. Right, Yeah, the Giants, you know 793 00:34:48,468 --> 00:34:50,588 Speaker 5: what it's like playing in MetLife Stadium, being there in 794 00:34:50,628 --> 00:34:54,748 Speaker 5: East Rutherford. They got a new coach, They are excited. 795 00:34:55,068 --> 00:34:57,708 Speaker 5: What do you think that's going to look like in 796 00:34:57,748 --> 00:35:00,868 Speaker 5: New York and with John Harball taking over, do you 797 00:35:00,908 --> 00:35:02,148 Speaker 5: think the city is excited? 798 00:35:02,468 --> 00:35:02,668 Speaker 4: Yeah? 799 00:35:02,708 --> 00:35:05,348 Speaker 10: I feel like John Harbor all has a great track 800 00:35:05,428 --> 00:35:08,508 Speaker 10: record within the NFC. He's very familiar with the NFC, 801 00:35:09,068 --> 00:35:11,668 Speaker 10: and he's going to a team that has playmakers on 802 00:35:11,668 --> 00:35:13,588 Speaker 10: both ends, you know, so, I feel like he's very 803 00:35:13,588 --> 00:35:14,948 Speaker 10: excited to get these. 804 00:35:14,788 --> 00:35:15,748 Speaker 6: Playmakers the ball. 805 00:35:15,908 --> 00:35:19,148 Speaker 10: And in my opinion, you got Dextera Lwence, you got 806 00:35:19,228 --> 00:35:21,988 Speaker 10: Kelon Thibodeaux. You got Brian Burns who's coming off of 807 00:35:22,468 --> 00:35:23,508 Speaker 10: ten plus sack year. 808 00:35:23,948 --> 00:35:25,428 Speaker 6: And you got a dude. 809 00:35:25,188 --> 00:35:27,788 Speaker 10: Carter, you know, who's just getting warmed up with the 810 00:35:27,788 --> 00:35:30,308 Speaker 10: guys in the back end with a flop playing amazing. 811 00:35:30,508 --> 00:35:32,908 Speaker 10: You got Drew Phillips, you got a great safety, Tyler Nuburn. 812 00:35:33,228 --> 00:35:34,868 Speaker 10: You know so, I feel like he's going to a 813 00:35:34,908 --> 00:35:38,508 Speaker 10: team that's pretty much has a solid foundation. So now 814 00:35:38,548 --> 00:35:41,468 Speaker 10: for him to implement his coature there.
