1
00:00:08,039 --> 00:00:13,080
Speaker 1: Stan Francisco, California. Super Bowl sixty just three days away.

2
00:00:13,320 --> 00:00:18,560
Speaker 1: A golden opportunity awaits the Seahawks and the Patriots tonight.

3
00:00:18,680 --> 00:00:20,760
Speaker 1: We have our opportunity to be in the same place

4
00:00:21,040 --> 00:00:21,880
Speaker 1: and live with you.

5
00:00:21,840 --> 00:00:23,160
Speaker 2: For the next sixty minutes.

6
00:00:23,480 --> 00:00:28,200
Speaker 1: Welcome inside with the Insiders, presented by Love Sack alongside

7
00:00:28,240 --> 00:00:31,479
Speaker 1: Judy Batista, Ian Rappaport and Mike Garafa.

8
00:00:31,480 --> 00:00:33,400
Speaker 3: Shouldn't we be doing the showing the couch then?

9
00:00:33,600 --> 00:00:34,440
Speaker 4: No, we should?

10
00:00:34,479 --> 00:00:37,040
Speaker 3: We should, Love sa Sorry, Tom, you're rolling?

11
00:00:37,240 --> 00:00:38,360
Speaker 2: Can Tom Pilaicero?

12
00:00:38,640 --> 00:00:43,440
Speaker 1: Unlike Mike's suitcase and his wardrobe, we all made it here. Yeah,

13
00:00:43,640 --> 00:00:44,680
Speaker 1: you want to show those shoes?

14
00:00:44,760 --> 00:00:45,440
Speaker 3: You think that's fine?

15
00:00:45,560 --> 00:00:47,880
Speaker 4: Mike through that?

16
00:00:48,080 --> 00:00:48,320
Speaker 5: Yeah?

17
00:00:48,640 --> 00:00:51,440
Speaker 2: Sorry, Now that's all gotta say.

18
00:00:51,720 --> 00:00:53,479
Speaker 3: Wow, just purchased.

19
00:00:54,680 --> 00:00:54,760
Speaker 6: You.

20
00:00:54,880 --> 00:00:56,560
Speaker 4: Ow my shining super Bowl week.

21
00:00:56,600 --> 00:00:58,600
Speaker 3: If you stole my shoes, Carbon is coming for you.

22
00:00:59,160 --> 00:01:01,160
Speaker 1: Suits made it. That's that's really the important part. So

23
00:01:01,200 --> 00:01:03,480
Speaker 1: did the Patriots uniforms. They were back on the practice

24
00:01:03,520 --> 00:01:08,640
Speaker 1: field today for their third practice ahead of Super Bowl sixty. Obviously,

25
00:01:08,880 --> 00:01:11,399
Speaker 1: everything is abnormal with the bye week before, but Mike

26
00:01:11,520 --> 00:01:14,240
Speaker 1: Rabeles certainly has given his best efforts to have the

27
00:01:14,280 --> 00:01:18,120
Speaker 1: team on a fairly regular cadence. It's worked for them

28
00:01:18,160 --> 00:01:21,160
Speaker 1: so far that man Drake may still worrying. A practice

29
00:01:21,240 --> 00:01:24,480
Speaker 1: jersey from nineteen seventy nine had this to say about

30
00:01:24,480 --> 00:01:25,039
Speaker 1: how we got.

31
00:01:24,920 --> 00:01:28,680
Speaker 7: Here, trying to recognize or realize this team was special

32
00:01:29,160 --> 00:01:31,720
Speaker 7: and had a chance to win a Super Bowl.

33
00:01:32,560 --> 00:01:34,720
Speaker 8: It's hard to make you pinpoint one exact point. I

34
00:01:34,720 --> 00:01:37,320
Speaker 8: know I'd probably win on the road at Buffalo was

35
00:01:37,400 --> 00:01:39,720
Speaker 8: huge for us. I think, just find a way to

36
00:01:39,760 --> 00:01:41,600
Speaker 8: win that game against a tough opponent, you know, on

37
00:01:41,640 --> 00:01:44,440
Speaker 8: the road, a team that's been you know historically, you

38
00:01:44,440 --> 00:01:47,440
Speaker 8: know great in playoffs, you know, had a not a playoff.

39
00:01:47,480 --> 00:01:48,760
Speaker 8: I mean I had a home game, you know, I

40
00:01:48,760 --> 00:01:51,560
Speaker 8: think win streak and be able to win there. But really,

41
00:01:51,600 --> 00:01:54,000
Speaker 8: other than that, I think just to continue success in

42
00:01:54,040 --> 00:01:56,440
Speaker 8: the road has been huge for us. You'll continue success

43
00:01:56,440 --> 00:01:58,280
Speaker 8: in the road and trying to find a way to

44
00:01:58,280 --> 00:01:59,080
Speaker 8: do one more time here.

45
00:01:59,600 --> 00:02:03,640
Speaker 9: Essentially, this Patriots team has gone essentially worse to first.

46
00:02:04,480 --> 00:02:07,920
Speaker 9: Besides the obvious, what is the biggest year to year

47
00:02:07,960 --> 00:02:10,560
Speaker 9: difference that you've seen in the building this year.

48
00:02:11,600 --> 00:02:13,600
Speaker 8: That's a great question. I think one of the biggest

49
00:02:13,639 --> 00:02:15,960
Speaker 8: thing is I think winning helps. You know, winning helps,

50
00:02:15,960 --> 00:02:18,600
Speaker 8: and I think just buying into the same belief in

51
00:02:18,639 --> 00:02:20,840
Speaker 8: each other and you know what Coach Rabel's trying to

52
00:02:20,840 --> 00:02:22,639
Speaker 8: get accomplished. I think from day one, I feel like

53
00:02:22,840 --> 00:02:25,800
Speaker 8: the guys have really kind of took what Coach Rabels

54
00:02:26,040 --> 00:02:29,040
Speaker 8: want to do with us and have just really applied

55
00:02:29,040 --> 00:02:30,600
Speaker 8: it to their lives in every single way, whether it's

56
00:02:30,600 --> 00:02:32,480
Speaker 8: on the field, off the field, you know, getting treatment,

57
00:02:32,600 --> 00:02:35,320
Speaker 8: you know, doing little things, you know, making great decisions

58
00:02:35,360 --> 00:02:36,960
Speaker 8: off the field. I think that's the biggest thing, is

59
00:02:37,000 --> 00:02:40,160
Speaker 8: just because Rabel always says, you know, he treats us

60
00:02:40,200 --> 00:02:41,600
Speaker 8: how we treat the team, and I think that's how

61
00:02:41,600 --> 00:02:43,400
Speaker 8: guys have taken this year. And I think it's just

62
00:02:43,480 --> 00:02:45,480
Speaker 8: really you know, ride together and you want to play

63
00:02:45,480 --> 00:02:47,240
Speaker 8: for each other, and you know, from there on we

64
00:02:47,360 --> 00:02:49,360
Speaker 8: just have had fun doing it, you know, every single

65
00:02:49,440 --> 00:02:51,000
Speaker 8: day since and it's been it's been a ride and

66
00:02:51,120 --> 00:02:52,760
Speaker 8: looking forward to, you know, trying to finish it off.

67
00:02:53,080 --> 00:02:55,320
Speaker 1: Let's welcome in our Jane Slater who has been camped

68
00:02:55,320 --> 00:02:58,520
Speaker 1: out all week with those new England Patriots. Jane, you

69
00:02:58,720 --> 00:03:02,240
Speaker 1: heard him speak there Drake May about getting treatment, that's

70
00:03:02,240 --> 00:03:04,680
Speaker 1: something he's had to do with his right shoulder, but

71
00:03:04,720 --> 00:03:06,480
Speaker 1: full participate in practice on Wednesday.

72
00:03:06,520 --> 00:03:07,959
Speaker 2: What's he saying about how.

73
00:03:07,760 --> 00:03:10,760
Speaker 1: He's feeling and really how he's handling everything here at

74
00:03:10,760 --> 00:03:11,560
Speaker 1: his Verst super Bowl.

75
00:03:13,360 --> 00:03:14,480
Speaker 10: You know, he's feeling great.

76
00:03:14,560 --> 00:03:16,840
Speaker 11: I love that he was wearing that hoodie there that

77
00:03:16,919 --> 00:03:19,160
Speaker 11: said be a blessing. That was something that was specially

78
00:03:19,200 --> 00:03:21,200
Speaker 11: made for a couple of the players, something that had

79
00:03:21,240 --> 00:03:24,480
Speaker 11: come up with their chaplain. But he really truly has

80
00:03:24,560 --> 00:03:26,480
Speaker 11: been a blessing for this team in his second year.

81
00:03:26,600 --> 00:03:31,880
Speaker 11: Tom at twenty three, he is already an MVP finalist.

82
00:03:32,080 --> 00:03:33,880
Speaker 11: I mean when you look at his numbers this year

83
00:03:33,919 --> 00:03:37,280
Speaker 11: and his progression, what a turnarounds for this team. And

84
00:03:37,320 --> 00:03:40,200
Speaker 11: he's really been the reason why you've seen this team

85
00:03:40,240 --> 00:03:41,760
Speaker 11: have some of its success, you know, as we wait

86
00:03:41,800 --> 00:03:45,000
Speaker 11: on news about their field general Roberts Fulane's availability Sunday.

87
00:03:45,360 --> 00:03:47,640
Speaker 11: May this week talked about turning the corner on that

88
00:03:47,720 --> 00:03:48,480
Speaker 11: shoulder entry.

89
00:03:48,760 --> 00:03:50,400
Speaker 10: He turned the corner of the season too.

90
00:03:50,480 --> 00:03:53,160
Speaker 11: As Josh McDaniels told me Wednesday, it's his wear ability

91
00:03:53,200 --> 00:03:56,160
Speaker 11: at his age to make good plays, and when he doesn't,

92
00:03:56,240 --> 00:03:57,200
Speaker 11: he's learning from them.

93
00:03:57,240 --> 00:03:57,600
Speaker 10: He said.

94
00:03:57,640 --> 00:04:00,000
Speaker 11: You don't often see him making the same mistake twice.

95
00:04:00,480 --> 00:04:02,640
Speaker 11: There's also a confidence in his play that starts with

96
00:04:02,680 --> 00:04:04,800
Speaker 11: his command in the huddle, but his ability to sell

97
00:04:04,840 --> 00:04:07,720
Speaker 11: a play like he did on that bootleg drive in Denver,

98
00:04:07,960 --> 00:04:10,800
Speaker 11: that has been critical. I asked Josh McDaniels if there

99
00:04:10,800 --> 00:04:13,880
Speaker 11: were any other tricks up his sleeve, given May's execution

100
00:04:14,080 --> 00:04:16,919
Speaker 11: in a big moment already, and he said, quote, you

101
00:04:17,000 --> 00:04:18,960
Speaker 11: try to have some things that maybe give yourself a

102
00:04:19,000 --> 00:04:21,120
Speaker 11: spark if you need one. But we'll see if that

103
00:04:21,200 --> 00:04:23,360
Speaker 11: time comes during the course of the game, and if

104
00:04:23,360 --> 00:04:26,279
Speaker 11: it does, hopefully they pick the right one. One more

105
00:04:26,320 --> 00:04:29,320
Speaker 11: practice to go this week before walkthrough on Saturday, and

106
00:04:29,360 --> 00:04:33,400
Speaker 11: they are one went away from Drake May solidifying his

107
00:04:33,480 --> 00:04:35,960
Speaker 11: legacy here with the NFL. But it has certainly been fun

108
00:04:36,000 --> 00:04:38,000
Speaker 11: to watch him and cover him this season.

109
00:04:39,960 --> 00:04:43,120
Speaker 1: Always interesting when you have an opportunity to establish that

110
00:04:43,240 --> 00:04:46,680
Speaker 1: legacy in year two in the NFL. Jane, great stuff

111
00:04:46,720 --> 00:04:49,240
Speaker 1: all week. We will talk to you again soon, Judy.

112
00:04:50,400 --> 00:04:53,320
Speaker 12: The Seahawks were also on the practice field today. This

113
00:04:53,400 --> 00:04:56,479
Speaker 12: is there a third day of practice and anticipation of

114
00:04:56,880 --> 00:05:00,320
Speaker 12: Super Bowl sixty. There, of course, is Sam Darnold, but

115
00:05:00,440 --> 00:05:02,480
Speaker 12: really the topic of conversation.

116
00:05:02,080 --> 00:05:04,360
Speaker 10: Around the Seahawks is the status of.

117
00:05:04,600 --> 00:05:08,320
Speaker 12: Safety Nick emm and Rory's ankle, which he rolled in

118
00:05:08,400 --> 00:05:11,400
Speaker 12: practice on Wednesday. Here is the man himself on how

119
00:05:11,440 --> 00:05:11,960
Speaker 12: he's feeling.

120
00:05:12,600 --> 00:05:14,880
Speaker 13: Just a little mishap, hath happened? Just rolled my ankle

121
00:05:15,600 --> 00:05:17,360
Speaker 13: and I just didn't finish practice.

122
00:05:17,400 --> 00:05:17,960
Speaker 6: So that was it?

123
00:05:18,080 --> 00:05:19,400
Speaker 14: How scary was that in from?

124
00:05:20,120 --> 00:05:22,000
Speaker 13: Uh? You know, in the moment, you probably just you know,

125
00:05:22,080 --> 00:05:24,039
Speaker 13: things happened, but you know, you know, it's a super

126
00:05:24,080 --> 00:05:26,479
Speaker 13: Bowl week, so probably just a little you know too much.

127
00:05:26,520 --> 00:05:27,920
Speaker 6: But I'm good though.

128
00:05:28,640 --> 00:05:30,400
Speaker 15: How you're feeling. You expect to play on Sunday?

129
00:05:30,640 --> 00:05:32,040
Speaker 13: Yeah, I expect to play on Sunday.

130
00:05:32,279 --> 00:05:32,960
Speaker 6: I feel good.

131
00:05:33,960 --> 00:05:36,279
Speaker 13: Training staff got a good plan for me, you know,

132
00:05:36,320 --> 00:05:41,000
Speaker 13: everything good and just making sure I'm just rehaving good.

133
00:05:41,000 --> 00:05:42,120
Speaker 15: So was it a head of.

134
00:05:42,080 --> 00:05:44,240
Speaker 1: Relief when you guys got the image back and there

135
00:05:44,279 --> 00:05:45,200
Speaker 1: was no further damage?

136
00:05:45,360 --> 00:05:48,040
Speaker 13: Yeah, super relief. You know, Doc tor mamould be good,

137
00:05:49,040 --> 00:05:52,320
Speaker 13: you know, just super young healthy. Uh so yeah, I'll

138
00:05:52,360 --> 00:05:53,120
Speaker 13: be good. I'd be good to go.

139
00:05:53,360 --> 00:05:55,000
Speaker 3: How much of that is you'd be good to go

140
00:05:55,080 --> 00:05:55,760
Speaker 3: in any Sunday?

141
00:05:55,800 --> 00:05:57,440
Speaker 6: And how much of that is I'm not missing a

142
00:05:57,480 --> 00:05:58,919
Speaker 6: serious mmmm.

143
00:05:59,360 --> 00:06:01,960
Speaker 13: Honestly, I think being good go any Sunday. Light you know,

144
00:06:02,040 --> 00:06:04,400
Speaker 13: for last week or two weeks ago. I think a

145
00:06:04,600 --> 00:06:05,279
Speaker 13: same outcome.

146
00:06:05,640 --> 00:06:06,919
Speaker 4: Were you planning to practice today?

147
00:06:07,880 --> 00:06:09,640
Speaker 13: I think he got a plan or do some walk through,

148
00:06:09,960 --> 00:06:12,400
Speaker 13: maybe just from the precaution, just to hold me out

149
00:06:12,400 --> 00:06:14,280
Speaker 13: a little bit, just to see, you know what all

150
00:06:14,520 --> 00:06:16,279
Speaker 13: what's going on, but just walk through.

151
00:06:16,680 --> 00:06:18,880
Speaker 12: Let's bring in our Stacy Dales, who is with the

152
00:06:18,920 --> 00:06:21,200
Speaker 12: Seattle Seahawks all week All right, Stacy, you heard him

153
00:06:21,240 --> 00:06:24,279
Speaker 12: say it a number of times. Good to go for Sunday.

154
00:06:24,279 --> 00:06:26,279
Speaker 12: But what did coach Mike McDonald have to say about

155
00:06:26,320 --> 00:06:26,839
Speaker 12: the situation?

156
00:06:29,320 --> 00:06:30,440
Speaker 10: What a relief.

157
00:06:30,480 --> 00:06:33,440
Speaker 14: We were also concerned Judy with this rolling of the ankle,

158
00:06:33,560 --> 00:06:36,360
Speaker 14: and we just obviously heard from Nicki Minmoory and Mike

159
00:06:36,440 --> 00:06:39,280
Speaker 14: McDonald's not concerned either. He basically said he's doing great,

160
00:06:39,320 --> 00:06:42,440
Speaker 14: he's moving around. They're confident in him being able to

161
00:06:42,520 --> 00:06:45,799
Speaker 14: roll into this weekend essentially, but it is good news

162
00:06:45,839 --> 00:06:48,840
Speaker 14: because he is so important in what they do schematically,

163
00:06:48,920 --> 00:06:50,719
Speaker 14: they move him all over the place. We understand that,

164
00:06:50,760 --> 00:06:53,920
Speaker 14: but there's no safety Nobody that spends more time as

165
00:06:53,960 --> 00:06:56,400
Speaker 14: a defensive back in the box fifty one percent of

166
00:06:56,440 --> 00:06:59,479
Speaker 14: the time lined up in the box this season for

167
00:06:59,640 --> 00:07:02,880
Speaker 14: Nicki Wary and as Mike McDonald spoke about the rookie

168
00:07:03,640 --> 00:07:06,359
Speaker 14: here today. He said, Listen, our coach has had a

169
00:07:06,440 --> 00:07:08,920
Speaker 14: very clear vision of how we wanted to use him

170
00:07:08,920 --> 00:07:10,920
Speaker 14: and what we wanted to create for him, and this

171
00:07:11,000 --> 00:07:13,400
Speaker 14: young man bought into it. He committed to it, and

172
00:07:13,440 --> 00:07:16,840
Speaker 14: he's been really specialist. As even Moory told me this week,

173
00:07:16,880 --> 00:07:19,760
Speaker 14: he said, I wanted to make an immediate impact to

174
00:07:20,200 --> 00:07:24,000
Speaker 14: not only show my teammates, but show the NFL, especially

175
00:07:24,280 --> 00:07:26,360
Speaker 14: getting dropped down into the second round in terms of

176
00:07:26,400 --> 00:07:29,080
Speaker 14: where he was drafted, how special of a player that

177
00:07:29,160 --> 00:07:32,440
Speaker 14: he is, and the special nature of leadership for Mike

178
00:07:32,520 --> 00:07:35,200
Speaker 14: McDonald has been felt by these players. They have really

179
00:07:35,240 --> 00:07:39,000
Speaker 14: truly bought into his motto, which is chasing edges.

180
00:07:39,080 --> 00:07:41,720
Speaker 3: Every player has spoken of it here this.

181
00:07:41,640 --> 00:07:44,800
Speaker 14: Week with me as I've spoken to them. Leonard Williams,

182
00:07:44,840 --> 00:07:48,360
Speaker 14: their defensive tackle, told me today it's essentially, very simply

183
00:07:48,400 --> 00:07:53,239
Speaker 14: put means constantly seeking for ways to improve, constantly seeking

184
00:07:53,280 --> 00:07:57,040
Speaker 14: for ways to expose defenses, getting an edge on them.

185
00:07:57,080 --> 00:08:01,080
Speaker 14: And the entire team has adopted that mindset, and also

186
00:08:01,720 --> 00:08:05,480
Speaker 14: their quarterback Sam Donald, as I transition to him, he

187
00:08:05,560 --> 00:08:08,040
Speaker 14: leads the way in terms of chasing edges because of

188
00:08:08,040 --> 00:08:11,320
Speaker 14: what he has gone through in his career. This team

189
00:08:11,360 --> 00:08:13,800
Speaker 14: has the ultimate confidence in Sam Darnold.

190
00:08:13,880 --> 00:08:14,640
Speaker 10: Jackson Smith and.

191
00:08:14,680 --> 00:08:17,320
Speaker 14: Jigba said this week, He's the leader of our team.

192
00:08:17,640 --> 00:08:19,800
Speaker 14: We are riding him, we believe in him. And if

193
00:08:19,840 --> 00:08:23,640
Speaker 14: you want to know just how much the team loves

194
00:08:23,760 --> 00:08:29,520
Speaker 14: Sam Donald, Cooper Cup now as he chases yet another

195
00:08:29,680 --> 00:08:34,280
Speaker 14: Super Bowl championship. Donned a fantastic shirt into the press

196
00:08:34,360 --> 00:08:34,920
Speaker 14: room today.

197
00:08:35,160 --> 00:08:36,480
Speaker 2: I will hold it up on my phone.

198
00:08:36,480 --> 00:08:39,840
Speaker 14: I have a knack for taking good pictures and great

199
00:08:39,880 --> 00:08:43,840
Speaker 14: videos in this business and Cooper Cup if you can

200
00:08:43,880 --> 00:08:48,040
Speaker 14: see it here on my phone. Guys, Judy wore this

201
00:08:48,120 --> 00:08:53,959
Speaker 14: T shirt today. I love Sam Donald. You gotta appreciate

202
00:08:54,160 --> 00:08:56,959
Speaker 14: just how much they believe in him, Judy, how much

203
00:08:57,040 --> 00:09:00,280
Speaker 14: they respect him and the story of Sam Darnald. I

204
00:09:00,360 --> 00:09:02,000
Speaker 14: cannot wait for Super Bowl Sunday.

205
00:09:04,760 --> 00:09:07,360
Speaker 12: Lots of people who have played and coached with Sam

206
00:09:07,440 --> 00:09:10,000
Speaker 12: Darnolds feel the same way as they do right now

207
00:09:10,040 --> 00:09:10,640
Speaker 12: in Seattle.

208
00:09:10,640 --> 00:09:12,400
Speaker 10: Stacey Dale's thank you very much.

209
00:09:12,480 --> 00:09:14,400
Speaker 6: Mike, thank you Judy.

210
00:09:14,679 --> 00:09:20,120
Speaker 7: We AREI days away from Super Bowl l X. Hopefully

211
00:09:20,200 --> 00:09:23,319
Speaker 7: Ian studied his Roman numerals and knows what I just said.

212
00:09:23,360 --> 00:09:26,640
Speaker 7: Just a couple of days from kickoff between the Seahawks

213
00:09:26,800 --> 00:09:30,319
Speaker 7: and the Patriots. Mark Ross joining me and Ian Rappaport

214
00:09:30,400 --> 00:09:33,560
Speaker 7: now here on the Insiders to talk about these two

215
00:09:33,679 --> 00:09:38,000
Speaker 7: rosters here and Mark with your front office experience, your

216
00:09:38,040 --> 00:09:40,880
Speaker 7: take on how both of these teams are constructed.

217
00:09:42,120 --> 00:09:45,440
Speaker 16: Well, almost completely different, but has some similarities. The Seahawks

218
00:09:45,480 --> 00:09:48,400
Speaker 16: a little bit of a slower build over let's say

219
00:09:48,440 --> 00:09:52,240
Speaker 16: three or four years, and the Patriots almost overnight, are

220
00:09:52,240 --> 00:09:55,480
Speaker 16: within two years. But both of them, we're going to

221
00:09:55,520 --> 00:09:58,079
Speaker 16: hear ad nauseum because draft season is coming up, build

222
00:09:58,080 --> 00:10:00,720
Speaker 16: through the draft. But both teams built through the draft,

223
00:10:00,760 --> 00:10:03,480
Speaker 16: but they also built through great free agent signings and

224
00:10:03,559 --> 00:10:07,520
Speaker 16: also built through great trades that they made as well.

225
00:10:07,640 --> 00:10:08,840
Speaker 15: So there's core.

226
00:10:08,800 --> 00:10:12,000
Speaker 16: Foundational pieces on the Seahawks that they drafted in Jackson

227
00:10:12,040 --> 00:10:16,440
Speaker 16: Smith and Jigba and Kenneth Walker and Cross nick Emmon

228
00:10:16,480 --> 00:10:18,720
Speaker 16: Warrior we just saw there, but also great trades with

229
00:10:18,800 --> 00:10:22,199
Speaker 16: Leonard Williams right there, and great free agent signings of course,

230
00:10:22,200 --> 00:10:24,920
Speaker 16: with the final piece being Sam Darnold. And then on

231
00:10:24,960 --> 00:10:27,520
Speaker 16: the flip side with the Patriots, of course, the signing

232
00:10:27,600 --> 00:10:30,600
Speaker 16: the drafting of Drake may set everything into motion, but

233
00:10:30,679 --> 00:10:34,079
Speaker 16: the huge free agency spending that they had last off season.

234
00:10:33,880 --> 00:10:34,880
Speaker 15: With Milton Williams.

235
00:10:35,120 --> 00:10:39,680
Speaker 16: You're right there in Spulane and Carlton Davis which accelerated

236
00:10:39,720 --> 00:10:41,800
Speaker 16: that and a great trade for Stefan Diggs.

237
00:10:41,840 --> 00:10:44,160
Speaker 15: So what these both teams show me.

238
00:10:44,320 --> 00:10:47,080
Speaker 16: Is that, yes, you have to have the foundational pieces

239
00:10:47,120 --> 00:10:49,440
Speaker 16: in the draft, but you also have to crush it

240
00:10:49,600 --> 00:10:53,240
Speaker 16: in the other aspects of personnel. It's not just scouting

241
00:10:53,320 --> 00:10:56,520
Speaker 16: Colline scouting. It's a whole personnel department. And both of

242
00:10:56,520 --> 00:10:59,800
Speaker 16: these teams really exemplify that. They crushed it in all

243
00:10:59,840 --> 00:11:02,880
Speaker 16: three phases of the draft, the freed and signings and

244
00:11:02,960 --> 00:11:03,840
Speaker 16: making great trades.

245
00:11:05,559 --> 00:11:08,520
Speaker 17: Yeah, they certainly have roster building never stops, as both

246
00:11:08,559 --> 00:11:12,760
Speaker 17: of these teams have showed. His key contributors acquired pretty recently.

247
00:11:12,840 --> 00:11:15,120
Speaker 17: Obviously a lot to look forward to here, Mark. We've

248
00:11:15,200 --> 00:11:18,360
Speaker 17: spent a lot of this season talking about your Mark

249
00:11:18,760 --> 00:11:23,560
Speaker 17: Key matchups for each week. One more time, give us

250
00:11:23,559 --> 00:11:28,280
Speaker 17: your Mark Key matchup for Super Bowl sixty.

251
00:11:29,080 --> 00:11:31,320
Speaker 16: A bunch to go around, But I really think it's

252
00:11:31,720 --> 00:11:35,600
Speaker 16: Stefan Diggs versus Devin Witherspoon. They're the corner for Seattle,

253
00:11:35,600 --> 00:11:38,160
Speaker 16: and I'm not sure if that will be the matchup.

254
00:11:38,160 --> 00:11:39,840
Speaker 15: But when I look at the Patriots offense.

255
00:11:39,880 --> 00:11:42,360
Speaker 16: There are some games that Digs just bailed them out

256
00:11:42,400 --> 00:11:45,560
Speaker 16: where they're not much going, and particularly now in the

257
00:11:45,559 --> 00:11:48,160
Speaker 16: playoffs where they haven't done much on offense. I think

258
00:11:48,200 --> 00:11:49,719
Speaker 16: he's going to have to be the key to get

259
00:11:49,760 --> 00:11:52,600
Speaker 16: them going. And for Seattle, they're so versatile on the

260
00:11:52,640 --> 00:11:56,280
Speaker 16: back end. You know, with Tyreek, Woollan and Joe and Witherspoon,

261
00:11:56,880 --> 00:12:00,000
Speaker 16: you know right there that his skill set, Witherspoon's skills

262
00:12:00,080 --> 00:12:03,720
Speaker 16: said to me, of those guys fits best to defend Digs,

263
00:12:03,760 --> 00:12:07,640
Speaker 16: the quicker, smaller, change the direction in the small space.

264
00:12:07,880 --> 00:12:08,920
Speaker 15: He fits that better.

265
00:12:09,040 --> 00:12:11,440
Speaker 16: So I think they'll might match him up and have

266
00:12:11,600 --> 00:12:13,600
Speaker 16: him trail Digs a little bit.

267
00:12:13,720 --> 00:12:15,679
Speaker 15: So that could be huge for the Patriots.

268
00:12:15,720 --> 00:12:18,319
Speaker 16: Hey Diggs, can you take advantage of this one on

269
00:12:18,320 --> 00:12:21,040
Speaker 16: one matchups? And Witherspoon, Hey, look, you're an all pro

270
00:12:21,160 --> 00:12:24,200
Speaker 16: cowber type player. Can you go shut him down? So

271
00:12:24,520 --> 00:12:27,400
Speaker 16: that'll be a fascinating matchup if it happens, or if

272
00:12:27,400 --> 00:12:31,200
Speaker 16: they just throw those waves of defenders at Digs to say, Drake,

273
00:12:31,240 --> 00:12:33,600
Speaker 16: may you better go find somebody else to go beat us.

274
00:12:35,240 --> 00:12:35,880
Speaker 3: Mark Cross with.

275
00:12:35,920 --> 00:12:38,640
Speaker 7: His perspective on the teams and their rosters in the

276
00:12:38,679 --> 00:12:41,880
Speaker 7: Super Bowl sixty. He'll be back later with his thoughts

277
00:12:41,960 --> 00:12:44,040
Speaker 7: on the NFL Honors and some of the awards that

278
00:12:44,120 --> 00:12:46,160
Speaker 7: might go down. That I were just a short while

279
00:12:46,160 --> 00:12:48,440
Speaker 7: away from honors, Tom, we are.

280
00:12:48,400 --> 00:12:50,959
Speaker 1: Just three days away, not just from super Bowl sixty,

281
00:12:51,320 --> 00:12:54,800
Speaker 1: but also from the Apple Music af Time show. Bad

282
00:12:54,840 --> 00:12:57,880
Speaker 1: Bunny was not willing to say exactly who might be

283
00:12:57,960 --> 00:13:00,640
Speaker 1: joined him on stage, but we know this Bad Money

284
00:13:00,640 --> 00:13:02,280
Speaker 1: intends to put on a good show.

285
00:13:02,720 --> 00:13:05,200
Speaker 18: I just want to people have fun. There's there's gonna

286
00:13:05,200 --> 00:13:11,440
Speaker 18: be it's gonna be a huge party. It's gonna be

287
00:13:14,000 --> 00:13:18,680
Speaker 18: what people always can expect from me. I don't know

288
00:13:18,720 --> 00:13:24,480
Speaker 18: if that is something that that's what I want to

289
00:13:24,720 --> 00:13:28,200
Speaker 18: I want to bring to to the stage. Of course

290
00:13:28,440 --> 00:13:31,199
Speaker 18: a lot of my culture, but.

291
00:13:33,640 --> 00:13:34,520
Speaker 3: I really I don't.

292
00:13:34,520 --> 00:13:34,800
Speaker 6: I don't.

293
00:13:34,800 --> 00:13:37,560
Speaker 18: I don't want to give any spoilers. It's gonna be

294
00:13:37,600 --> 00:13:40,440
Speaker 18: fun and it's gonna party. It's gonna be easy and

295
00:13:41,360 --> 00:13:46,080
Speaker 18: people only have to worry about dance. I know that

296
00:13:46,160 --> 00:13:48,760
Speaker 18: I that I told them that they had four months

297
00:13:48,800 --> 00:13:51,160
Speaker 18: to learn Spanish. They don't even have to learn Spanish.

298
00:13:51,160 --> 00:13:55,000
Speaker 18: They just it's better if they they they learn to dance.

299
00:13:55,800 --> 00:13:59,040
Speaker 18: But I think there's no there's no better dance. That

300
00:13:59,000 --> 00:14:02,120
Speaker 18: the one that can come from the herd, the you know,

301
00:14:02,920 --> 00:14:03,880
Speaker 18: the hartbeat dance.

302
00:14:04,480 --> 00:14:05,880
Speaker 6: That's the only thing that they need.

303
00:14:05,800 --> 00:14:07,240
Speaker 18: To worry about and have fun.

304
00:14:07,240 --> 00:14:08,160
Speaker 4: I enjoyed.

305
00:14:10,000 --> 00:14:13,200
Speaker 1: By those all eg characters never get old. That's bad money.

Speaker 1: have quite the act at halftime of this game as well.

308

319
00:14:52,000 --> 00:14:55,560
Speaker 1: star safety Kyle Hamilton is gonna hit rapaport like that.

320
00:14:55,800 --> 00:14:58,000
Speaker 1: You gotta least answer our questions one or the other.

321
00:14:58,200 --> 00:15:05,400
Speaker 1: Stick around The Insiders presented by Love another beautiful day

322
00:15:05,480 --> 00:15:09,880
Speaker 1: in San Francisco, site of Super Bowl sixty, which is

323
00:15:09,920 --> 00:15:11,920
Speaker 1: now just three short days.

324
00:15:11,960 --> 00:15:14,800
Speaker 2: Wait, we're here on radio road, joined by.

325
00:15:14,680 --> 00:15:19,120
Speaker 1: A very special guest right now, Ravens safety Kyle Hamilton

326
00:15:19,240 --> 00:15:21,640
Speaker 1: with US Tom Pila Serwi and rapport Mike Garrafolo on

327
00:15:21,680 --> 00:15:24,520
Speaker 1: the Insiders. Let's just jump right into a nice quiet

328
00:15:24,680 --> 00:15:27,000
Speaker 1: month here for everyone involved with the Ravens.

329
00:15:27,120 --> 00:15:28,400
Speaker 3: Yeah, take me.

330
00:15:28,400 --> 00:15:30,160
Speaker 1: Through just what I have to imagine is like an

331
00:15:30,200 --> 00:15:32,760
Speaker 1: emotional roller coaster in these past few weeks.

332
00:15:33,040 --> 00:15:35,040
Speaker 19: Yeah, I mean, obviously it's part of the business, but

333
00:15:35,640 --> 00:15:38,080
Speaker 19: it's not been part of the business for the Ravens

334
00:15:38,200 --> 00:15:43,040
Speaker 19: organization for the past twenty years. I think everybody on

335
00:15:43,080 --> 00:15:46,080
Speaker 19: the team's excited for the future. Obviously appreciative of the past,

336
00:15:46,120 --> 00:15:47,720
Speaker 19: but you know, I think we're ready to move forward

337
00:15:47,720 --> 00:15:50,360
Speaker 19: and hopefully next year's turning a little different for us.

338
00:15:51,040 --> 00:15:53,120
Speaker 17: It has been a week or more, I don't know,

339
00:15:53,200 --> 00:15:55,520
Speaker 17: a while since Chessi Mincher got hired as he Baltimore

340
00:15:55,560 --> 00:15:58,200
Speaker 17: Ravens head coach. He has been for the last couple

341
00:15:58,240 --> 00:16:00,600
Speaker 17: of years, a bright, up and coming assistant coach with

342
00:16:00,640 --> 00:16:02,160
Speaker 17: a lot of people thought would be a head coach.

343
00:16:02,520 --> 00:16:03,120
Speaker 4: Now he is.

344
00:16:03,160 --> 00:16:06,440
Speaker 17: He is your head coach. What do you think of him?

345
00:16:06,480 --> 00:16:08,320
Speaker 17: Have you gotten to know him at all and what

346
00:16:08,440 --> 00:16:09,359
Speaker 17: he kind of reactions?

347
00:16:09,560 --> 00:16:11,280
Speaker 19: Yeah, I mean from a distance, I've kind of seen

348
00:16:11,320 --> 00:16:14,920
Speaker 19: what he's done really going back to Michigan, you know,

349
00:16:14,960 --> 00:16:18,200
Speaker 19: obviously having success there and Jim Harball goes out to

350
00:16:18,320 --> 00:16:20,480
Speaker 19: LA brings them with him and you know, those defenses

351
00:16:20,560 --> 00:16:22,120
Speaker 19: just kind of turn around where he goes.

352
00:16:22,200 --> 00:16:25,040
Speaker 6: So I'm super excited to have him. I think he's

353
00:16:25,080 --> 00:16:25,720
Speaker 6: hired a great.

354
00:16:25,520 --> 00:16:28,440
Speaker 19: Staff so far for us, but I think Ota is

355
00:16:28,480 --> 00:16:30,560
Speaker 19: gonna be pretty exciting and everybody's gonna have just a

356
00:16:30,560 --> 00:16:31,880
Speaker 19: fresh outlook on season.

357
00:16:31,960 --> 00:16:34,000
Speaker 7: It's got to be exciting for you because he's done

358
00:16:34,080 --> 00:16:36,880
Speaker 7: some stuff with his safeties out there, Durwin games, places

359
00:16:36,880 --> 00:16:39,160
Speaker 7: all over place. You have the ability to play all

360
00:16:39,200 --> 00:16:42,200
Speaker 7: over the place, so selfishly, you gotta love what's potentially

361
00:16:42,200 --> 00:16:43,680
Speaker 7: coming in schematically.

362
00:16:43,120 --> 00:16:46,400
Speaker 19: Right, Yeah, I mean I've had just sparing the conversations

363
00:16:46,400 --> 00:16:48,880
Speaker 19: with them, with him and some people around the building,

364
00:16:48,880 --> 00:16:50,560
Speaker 19: and you know, they have a plan for me, which

365
00:16:50,560 --> 00:16:53,720
Speaker 19: is really cool and uh really for everybody in the building, me, Lamar,

366
00:16:53,880 --> 00:16:56,960
Speaker 19: all the other guys, and I think having that outlook

367
00:16:57,000 --> 00:16:58,840
Speaker 19: where you know we're going to retain some of the

368
00:16:58,880 --> 00:17:01,160
Speaker 19: stuff that we had, but so just start fresh.

369
00:17:01,400 --> 00:17:02,720
Speaker 6: I think it's good for everybody.

370
00:17:03,440 --> 00:17:05,119
Speaker 19: You know, obviously last season then the other way that

371
00:17:05,119 --> 00:17:07,600
Speaker 19: we wanted it to and to kind of do the

372
00:17:07,600 --> 00:17:09,760
Speaker 19: same thing over again, just like bang your head against

373
00:17:09,760 --> 00:17:11,959
Speaker 19: the wall, it's just exactingly a different result. So I

374
00:17:12,000 --> 00:17:14,360
Speaker 19: think that you know, he's approachated and everybody he's hired,

375
00:17:14,359 --> 00:17:15,560
Speaker 19: he's approaching it a good way.

376
00:17:15,720 --> 00:17:18,159
Speaker 1: You mentioned Lamar, this was a rough season of multiple

377
00:17:18,200 --> 00:17:20,720
Speaker 1: fronts for him. The volume of injuries just kind of

378
00:17:20,760 --> 00:17:22,720
Speaker 1: added up to the point that he's out for a

379
00:17:22,760 --> 00:17:24,639
Speaker 1: little bit at the tail end of the season. I

380
00:17:24,640 --> 00:17:26,159
Speaker 1: don't know how much you talk to him in the offseason.

381
00:17:26,200 --> 00:17:27,960
Speaker 1: I know he gets down to Florida and kind of disappear.

382
00:17:27,960 --> 00:17:30,040
Speaker 1: It's a little bit here, But what do you expect

383
00:17:30,040 --> 00:17:33,040
Speaker 1: from him coming back from that type of season? The

384
00:17:33,080 --> 00:17:35,640
Speaker 1: two time NFL MVP just I mean, frankly didn't look

385
00:17:35,680 --> 00:17:37,360
Speaker 1: like the same Lamar at times this season.

386
00:17:37,640 --> 00:17:40,720
Speaker 6: Yeah, I mean, it's not it's not new to him.

387
00:17:40,760 --> 00:17:43,720
Speaker 19: Obviously, like my rookie year, he was hurt and missed

388
00:17:43,720 --> 00:17:46,320
Speaker 19: some games, and again Tyler Huntley steps in does some

389
00:17:46,320 --> 00:17:48,280
Speaker 19: great things while he's gone so, I mean, we're kind

390
00:17:48,280 --> 00:17:50,520
Speaker 19: of living in the same time as then, but I

391
00:17:50,800 --> 00:17:53,480
Speaker 19: think he came back on MVP next year in twenty three,

392
00:17:53,520 --> 00:17:56,080
Speaker 19: if I'm not mistaken, So hopefully we get a little

393
00:17:56,119 --> 00:17:58,639
Speaker 19: bit of that just in our future. It's just I

394
00:17:58,720 --> 00:18:01,480
Speaker 19: think he's super excited too. You know, he's kind of

395
00:18:01,480 --> 00:18:03,439
Speaker 19: somebody who just goes with the flow, doesn't make too

396
00:18:03,520 --> 00:18:06,399
Speaker 19: many waves, and at his position and the league that

397
00:18:06,440 --> 00:18:08,640
Speaker 19: we play, it's kind of rare being a two time

398
00:18:08,720 --> 00:18:11,800
Speaker 19: MVP and kind of just seft spoken and does what

399
00:18:11,840 --> 00:18:13,560
Speaker 19: he's sold and you know, he's a great dude at

400
00:18:13,560 --> 00:18:14,040
Speaker 19: the end of the day.

401
00:18:14,080 --> 00:18:15,040
Speaker 6: So I'm excited for him.

402
00:18:15,080 --> 00:18:17,640
Speaker 17: So, you guys have been one of the steadiest organizations

403
00:18:17,640 --> 00:18:18,919
Speaker 17: in the NFL, injuries or not.

404
00:18:19,000 --> 00:18:20,600
Speaker 4: You always are in the playoffs.

405
00:18:20,680 --> 00:18:23,159
Speaker 17: You were always, you know, kind of one of the

406
00:18:23,560 --> 00:18:25,760
Speaker 17: teams that is a standard of where teams want to

407
00:18:25,760 --> 00:18:26,040
Speaker 17: get to.

408
00:18:26,720 --> 00:18:27,679
Speaker 4: This year was not that.

409
00:18:28,359 --> 00:18:30,960
Speaker 17: Do you think obviously you'd want to make the playoffs

410
00:18:30,960 --> 00:18:33,280
Speaker 17: every year? Do you think that you guys needed a

411
00:18:33,280 --> 00:18:36,320
Speaker 17: little bit of a fresh start, Like can you feel

412
00:18:36,359 --> 00:18:38,320
Speaker 17: that kind of new bounce a little bit?

413
00:18:38,960 --> 00:18:39,200
Speaker 6: Yeah?

414
00:18:39,240 --> 00:18:42,159
Speaker 19: I think, you know, obviously it's a tough decision for

415
00:18:42,200 --> 00:18:46,000
Speaker 19: our front office to make letting Harves go very emotional

416
00:18:46,040 --> 00:18:48,000
Speaker 19: decision for sure, because it's kind of like family at

417
00:18:48,000 --> 00:18:50,119
Speaker 19: that point. You wake up, you know who's going to

418
00:18:50,119 --> 00:18:51,440
Speaker 19: be in the building, you know what the officer is

419
00:18:51,480 --> 00:18:52,679
Speaker 19: going to look like, the stuff.

420
00:18:52,400 --> 00:18:53,560
Speaker 6: That you kind of take for granted.

421
00:18:54,520 --> 00:18:56,840
Speaker 19: And an organization where there hasn't been a lot of turnover,

422
00:18:56,960 --> 00:18:57,800
Speaker 19: really any turnover.

423
00:18:59,000 --> 00:19:01,399
Speaker 6: But I think it is on what needed, you know.

424
00:19:01,440 --> 00:19:03,040
Speaker 19: But for both sides, I think he's gonna do a

425
00:19:03,080 --> 00:19:04,680
Speaker 19: great job in New York and I think we're gonna

426
00:19:04,680 --> 00:19:05,240
Speaker 19: be great as well.

427
00:19:05,359 --> 00:19:08,800
Speaker 1: So I think one, I'm curious how you heard about

428
00:19:08,840 --> 00:19:11,520
Speaker 1: it because it went very fast. I know the coach

429
00:19:11,720 --> 00:19:14,119
Speaker 1: kind of called in informed by Eric the console, Like,

430
00:19:14,119 --> 00:19:14,960
Speaker 1: how could you find out?

431
00:19:15,040 --> 00:19:16,960
Speaker 2: What was your just gut reaction in the moment?

432
00:19:17,160 --> 00:19:18,640
Speaker 6: Yeah, I found out.

433
00:19:18,640 --> 00:19:21,119
Speaker 19: I was playing video games and my fiance broke in

434
00:19:21,119 --> 00:19:24,840
Speaker 19: the room and said, Harball got fired, And that's how

435
00:19:24,880 --> 00:19:26,440
Speaker 19: I found out, kind of like everybody else.

436
00:19:26,480 --> 00:19:29,080
Speaker 6: I mean, you guys probably knew before me. Honestly, if you.

437
00:19:29,040 --> 00:19:31,520
Speaker 7: Want, if you wanted to play the home crowd, you'd

438
00:19:31,520 --> 00:19:35,920
Speaker 7: say from us, right, Yeah, she saw my tweet.

439
00:19:37,160 --> 00:19:38,320
Speaker 6: Insiders not the outsider.

440
00:19:39,680 --> 00:19:40,400
Speaker 4: Some people have.

441
00:19:40,320 --> 00:19:42,119
Speaker 3: Tried to use that nickname on us, we won't have.

00:19:44,440 --> 00:19:45,680
Speaker 3: Steve bashat a year owner.

444
00:19:46,280 --> 00:19:49,159
Speaker 7: When he was at the press conference, spoke incredibly freely

445
00:19:50,080 --> 00:19:53,160
Speaker 7: and I think a lot of people that.

446
00:19:53,200 --> 00:19:54,520
Speaker 4: It resonated with a lot of people.

447
00:19:54,720 --> 00:19:56,800
Speaker 2: He's a regular, real dude dude.

448
00:19:56,880 --> 00:19:59,840
Speaker 7: See uh, So for him to make this decision and

449
00:20:00,080 --> 00:20:01,920
Speaker 7: and the way that he spoke, and I'm sure you

450
00:20:02,000 --> 00:20:04,239
Speaker 7: caught some clips of it, do you guys look at

451
00:20:04,240 --> 00:20:06,960
Speaker 7: that and say, Okay, this guy has been a fantastic owner,

452
00:20:06,960 --> 00:20:09,680
Speaker 7: work great, So he's making the right call here.

453
00:20:09,880 --> 00:20:11,800
Speaker 3: Does that in trust his decision to you?

454
00:20:12,040 --> 00:20:12,679
Speaker 6: Yeah? I think so.

455
00:20:12,960 --> 00:20:15,200
Speaker 19: And you know, just the confidence in which he spoke.

456
00:20:15,240 --> 00:20:17,720
Speaker 19: And I saw bits and pieces of the interviews, but

457
00:20:17,800 --> 00:20:20,000
Speaker 19: you know, some some parts are funny, and some parts

458
00:20:20,000 --> 00:20:22,760
Speaker 19: were kinda I mean funny to me, but you know,

459
00:20:23,040 --> 00:20:26,480
Speaker 19: very he made a lot of waves with his just

460
00:20:26,480 --> 00:20:29,240
Speaker 19: speech or whatever he had. And he's been such a

461
00:20:29,280 --> 00:20:31,520
Speaker 19: good owner for the Raven since he's been involved, and

462
00:20:32,440 --> 00:20:35,160
Speaker 19: like having a process like this, which he hasn't done

463
00:20:35,200 --> 00:20:38,399
Speaker 19: a lot if ever, to see how he handled it

464
00:20:38,520 --> 00:20:40,320
Speaker 19: shows why he's been such a good owner in this league,

465
00:20:40,320 --> 00:20:41,520
Speaker 19: and I think we're all happy to have him.

466
00:20:41,720 --> 00:20:44,600
Speaker 1: We've had a running thing in our insiders group pect

467
00:20:44,960 --> 00:20:45,760
Speaker 1: for several years now.

468
00:20:46,000 --> 00:20:47,960
Speaker 2: They know what I'm about to ask. This is specific

469
00:20:48,040 --> 00:20:49,240
Speaker 2: to you, and in no way to.

470
00:20:49,200 --> 00:20:50,920
Speaker 1: Be clear by making light of injuries. I know the

471
00:20:51,000 --> 00:20:52,520
Speaker 1: risk of you take every time that you're on the field.

472
00:20:52,520 --> 00:20:53,560
Speaker 4: It's a very serious thing.

473
00:20:54,160 --> 00:20:56,639
Speaker 1: But one of our running jokes, as it were, is

474
00:20:58,040 --> 00:21:00,399
Speaker 1: you will have something happened in the game and there

475
00:21:00,440 --> 00:21:02,840
Speaker 1: will be a flood of tweets from the local reports

476
00:21:02,880 --> 00:21:06,240
Speaker 1: me like Kyle Hamilton is down, Kyle Hamilton, They're tantrible,

477
00:21:06,560 --> 00:21:09,200
Speaker 1: and then thirty seconds later be Kyle Hamilton is back

478
00:21:09,200 --> 00:21:09,600
Speaker 1: in the game.

479
00:21:09,680 --> 00:21:11,280
Speaker 2: Yeah, I'm curious.

480
00:21:11,280 --> 00:21:14,000
Speaker 1: Do you have like Wolverine Blood where you were suffering

481
00:21:14,080 --> 00:21:16,160
Speaker 1: like major injuries and you like go on the Sidlin's

482
00:21:16,200 --> 00:21:19,040
Speaker 1: like like your hand grows back. Or is it just

483
00:21:19,080 --> 00:21:21,040
Speaker 1: something where in the moment maybe you're you're hit by

484
00:21:21,080 --> 00:21:24,000
Speaker 1: it and you're able to all right, get over relatively quickly.

485
00:21:24,080 --> 00:21:24,280
Speaker 4: Yeah.

486
00:21:24,320 --> 00:21:26,880
Speaker 19: My nickname around the facility has been Lazarous the past

487
00:21:27,000 --> 00:21:29,760
Speaker 19: couple of years because I just they say I just

488
00:21:29,840 --> 00:21:33,280
Speaker 19: die and come back, But in my ear, I always

489
00:21:33,280 --> 00:21:37,119
Speaker 19: have my mom who's She's a typical career mother, always

490
00:21:37,160 --> 00:21:39,080
Speaker 19: hard on us growing up, and first day of football

491
00:21:39,119 --> 00:21:40,560
Speaker 19: she like grabbed my face. Man was like, I'm not

492
00:21:40,560 --> 00:21:43,040
Speaker 19: coming on the field unless something's broken and they're calling hamblet.

493
00:21:43,160 --> 00:21:45,439
Speaker 19: So I'm like, i gotta get out there because my

494
00:21:45,440 --> 00:21:50,880
Speaker 19: mom's gonna think I'm soft, but I think playing doing

495
00:21:50,880 --> 00:21:51,399
Speaker 19: stuff I do.

496
00:21:51,480 --> 00:21:53,280
Speaker 6: And I'm not the biggest guy. I mean, I'm tall,

497
00:21:53,320 --> 00:21:57,600
Speaker 6: but I'm not super. I guess bulked up and you know, bumps.

498
00:21:57,320 --> 00:22:00,199
Speaker 19: And bruises happen sometimes, and there's a difference between being

499
00:22:00,280 --> 00:22:03,679
Speaker 19: hurt and being injured. So unfortunately get hurt sometimes and

500
00:22:03,680 --> 00:22:05,160
Speaker 19: I come back in the game and just try the ball.

501
00:22:06,359 --> 00:22:09,000
Speaker 3: You've seen Rocky. It reminds me of Mickey.

502
00:22:08,960 --> 00:22:11,360
Speaker 6: Yeah, come off.

503
00:22:12,080 --> 00:22:13,600
Speaker 17: Last thing, I do want to ask you real quick

504
00:22:13,600 --> 00:22:17,280
Speaker 17: about this game. Uh, the defenses are really good in

505
00:22:17,320 --> 00:22:19,760
Speaker 17: this game. You've obviously studied, I assume had some crossover

506
00:22:19,800 --> 00:22:21,320
Speaker 17: table with some of these defenses.

507
00:22:21,560 --> 00:22:22,760
Speaker 4: What's your initial reaction.

508
00:22:23,080 --> 00:22:25,040
Speaker 3: I guess mostly Seahawks.

509
00:22:24,680 --> 00:22:26,919
Speaker 17: I'm interested in because they're probably probably the one that

510
00:22:26,960 --> 00:22:27,760
Speaker 17: stands out a little bit.

511
00:22:27,880 --> 00:22:30,840
Speaker 19: Yeah, I mean, obviously have some familiarity with the Seahawks defense.

512
00:22:30,920 --> 00:22:32,600
Speaker 19: Mike Mack was calling the place for us for two

513
00:22:32,680 --> 00:22:34,840
Speaker 19: years in Baltimore when I was there and had great

514
00:22:34,840 --> 00:22:36,680
Speaker 19: success with us and knew he's gonna be a successful

515
00:22:36,680 --> 00:22:38,760
Speaker 19: guy over in Seattle. But I think at the end

516
00:22:38,760 --> 00:22:40,359
Speaker 19: of the day, I've said it before, like Jimmy's and

517
00:22:40,440 --> 00:22:42,600
Speaker 19: Joe Snacks, and they have a bunch of guys on

518
00:22:42,600 --> 00:22:44,639
Speaker 19: that side of the ball that just make plays and

519
00:22:44,680 --> 00:22:46,040
Speaker 19: play like dogs out there, and at the end of

520
00:22:46,080 --> 00:22:48,280
Speaker 19: the day, that's kind of what you need to get

521
00:22:48,320 --> 00:22:51,119
Speaker 19: to this point. I think the Patriots also just have

522
00:22:51,200 --> 00:22:52,760
Speaker 19: a defense that plays super well together.

523
00:22:52,800 --> 00:22:53,959
Speaker 6: And it's kind of funny.

524
00:22:53,960 --> 00:22:56,600
Speaker 19: Every step of the playoffs, the story has been about

525
00:22:56,640 --> 00:22:58,920
Speaker 19: the defense that they're playing against. And they go out

526
00:22:58,920 --> 00:23:01,440
Speaker 19: there and they bowl and I'm sure they kind of

527
00:23:01,440 --> 00:23:03,560
Speaker 19: I'm sure Verybol's selling the whole week like they.

528
00:23:03,480 --> 00:23:04,400
Speaker 6: Don't care about you guys.

529
00:23:04,440 --> 00:23:06,080
Speaker 19: You guys aren't good enough, and then they go out

530
00:23:06,080 --> 00:23:08,200
Speaker 19: there and kind of he's as a chip on their shoulder.

531
00:23:08,240 --> 00:23:09,080
Speaker 6: So I think it'll be a good game.

532
00:23:09,160 --> 00:23:10,640
Speaker 1: We'll take a commercial, but I think it'd be only

533
00:23:10,640 --> 00:23:13,080
Speaker 1: appropriate if you leave and then you immediately come back

534
00:23:13,200 --> 00:23:16,200
Speaker 1: back right perfect, Kyle, thanks a loving time.

535
00:23:16,400 --> 00:23:17,119
Speaker 4: We appreciate it.

536
00:23:17,359 --> 00:23:20,560
Speaker 1: Kyle Hamilton, everybody a lot more to come another beautiful

537
00:23:20,680 --> 00:23:24,320
Speaker 1: day in San Francisco sight of Super Bowl sixty, which

538
00:23:24,359 --> 00:23:25,840
Speaker 1: is just three days away.

539
00:23:25,880 --> 00:23:27,560
Speaker 2: And as we have all season.

540
00:23:27,359 --> 00:23:29,320
Speaker 1: For a couple of years now, we're bringing in our guy,

541
00:23:29,400 --> 00:23:32,520
Speaker 1: Sam Sports Team Prime Video in tnf's analytics expert to

542
00:23:32,560 --> 00:23:35,400
Speaker 1: use next gen STAF to take its deep deep into

543
00:23:35,440 --> 00:23:35,760
Speaker 1: this match.

544
00:23:35,880 --> 00:23:37,040
Speaker 2: Let's startup with Sam Darnold.

545
00:23:37,119 --> 00:23:40,080
Speaker 1: He's gone from the guy who famously was seeing ghosts

546
00:23:40,080 --> 00:23:42,520
Speaker 1: to a guy who's now playing as high level of

547
00:23:42,520 --> 00:23:44,920
Speaker 1: football as anybody in f The Seahawks one went away

548
00:23:44,960 --> 00:23:45,960
Speaker 1: from a Lombardi Trophy.

549
00:23:45,960 --> 00:23:46,320
Speaker 15: What happened.

550
00:23:46,400 --> 00:23:48,760
Speaker 20: Yeah, he's made all Bay Area football fans like myself

551
00:23:48,880 --> 00:23:51,000
Speaker 20: a little upset this year with how well he's played.

552
00:23:51,280 --> 00:23:53,720
Speaker 20: It comes down to his consistency, his success right, which

553
00:23:53,720 --> 00:23:57,320
Speaker 20: is how unschedule you're playing football. That's what he's done

554
00:23:57,400 --> 00:23:59,480
Speaker 20: so well this season. He does not have the negative

555
00:23:59,480 --> 00:24:02,480
Speaker 20: plays that the same in the past. And what they

556
00:24:02,520 --> 00:24:06,359
Speaker 20: do so well is play action that Clint Kubiak offense,

557
00:24:06,440 --> 00:24:09,800
Speaker 20: play action pass. He's generated the most EPA on play

558
00:24:09,800 --> 00:24:12,560
Speaker 20: action this season. And what you're gonna need to watch

559
00:24:12,600 --> 00:24:14,399
Speaker 20: for is when they're not running play action He is

560
00:24:14,440 --> 00:24:16,440
Speaker 20: the largest delta between how good he is with play

561
00:24:16,440 --> 00:24:19,320
Speaker 20: action versus how bad he is when it's not using

562
00:24:19,320 --> 00:24:21,680
Speaker 20: play action. So it's going to take him being able

563
00:24:21,680 --> 00:24:23,640
Speaker 20: to play out of his comfort zone, but also when

564
00:24:23,640 --> 00:24:26,280
Speaker 20: he's playing within the system, play on schedule, play on time,

565
00:24:26,280 --> 00:24:26,840
Speaker 20: and he's got it.

566
00:24:26,880 --> 00:24:29,280
Speaker 1: On the other side, we got Drake May who, obviously

567
00:24:29,320 --> 00:24:31,679
Speaker 1: the Patriots thought enough of him to take him number three. Overall,

568
00:24:31,680 --> 00:24:33,439
Speaker 1: they felt like he could be special. I don't think

569
00:24:33,440 --> 00:24:35,480
Speaker 1: anybody realistic if he would have said, hey, after four

570
00:24:35,480 --> 00:24:37,359
Speaker 1: and thirteen in year one, you're going to the super

571
00:24:37,359 --> 00:24:38,639
Speaker 1: Bowl in year two, how's he done it?

572
00:24:38,800 --> 00:24:39,920
Speaker 6: He wasn't even the day one starter.

573
00:24:40,040 --> 00:24:42,800
Speaker 20: We had him early last season and we had Jacoby

574
00:24:42,840 --> 00:24:44,919
Speaker 20: Brissett coming out at the start, so it was a

575
00:24:44,920 --> 00:24:48,280
Speaker 20: different play for him. His accuracy is what's been so important.

576
00:24:48,280 --> 00:24:50,720
Speaker 20: When you look at completion percentage over expected. That's an

577
00:24:50,760 --> 00:24:53,320
Speaker 20: AI model to help identify what an average quarterback.

578
00:24:53,320 --> 00:24:54,560
Speaker 6: We're doing a similar situation.

579
00:24:55,160 --> 00:24:57,520
Speaker 20: He's the best in the NFL, one of the best

580
00:24:57,920 --> 00:24:59,680
Speaker 20: in the years we've done this, the ten years of

581
00:24:59,680 --> 00:25:01,080
Speaker 20: next that's.

582
00:25:00,680 --> 00:25:01,200
Speaker 15: One of the best.

583
00:25:01,240 --> 00:25:03,080
Speaker 20: And it comes down to his deep ball and he

584
00:25:03,119 --> 00:25:06,040
Speaker 20: has three players that are in the top four of

585
00:25:06,240 --> 00:25:09,960
Speaker 20: completion percentage over expected when targeted. So he's got players

586
00:25:10,000 --> 00:25:12,080
Speaker 20: that are coming down with the big catches he's having

587
00:25:12,200 --> 00:25:15,119
Speaker 20: Ramondre Stevenson, we targets downfield. That's what he's had. His

588
00:25:15,119 --> 00:25:16,960
Speaker 20: accuracy combined with big players receivers.

589
00:25:17,000 --> 00:25:18,760
Speaker 1: You talk a ton about the quarterbacks, but these are

590
00:25:18,800 --> 00:25:21,040
Speaker 1: also two teams that are here in large part because

591
00:25:21,040 --> 00:25:21,960
Speaker 1: they've got top.

592
00:25:21,760 --> 00:25:23,160
Speaker 2: Defenses in the league.

593
00:25:23,200 --> 00:25:25,399
Speaker 1: How do you compare and contrast what you see and

594
00:25:25,400 --> 00:25:26,480
Speaker 1: why are they both so good?

595
00:25:26,800 --> 00:25:28,800
Speaker 20: Both teams they hit. I mean, at the end of

596
00:25:28,840 --> 00:25:30,400
Speaker 20: the day, that's what football comes down to. It doesn't

597
00:25:30,400 --> 00:25:32,600
Speaker 20: matter what analytic I tell you. At some point, you're

598
00:25:32,600 --> 00:25:33,959
Speaker 20: gonna have to hit the guy in front of you.

599
00:25:34,160 --> 00:25:37,080
Speaker 20: And that's what these guys do. And from the Patriots,

600
00:25:37,320 --> 00:25:40,399
Speaker 20: it's about getting the tackles and not letting them mistackles

601
00:25:40,400 --> 00:25:44,159
Speaker 20: affect them. For the Seahawks, it's all about this nickel defense,

602
00:25:44,160 --> 00:25:46,480
Speaker 20: and everyone talks about all they play so much nickel because.

603
00:25:46,240 --> 00:25:47,000
Speaker 15: Of nick em and Warriy.

604
00:25:47,280 --> 00:25:49,919
Speaker 20: This guy is ninety nine percentile height and weight for

605
00:25:50,000 --> 00:25:52,320
Speaker 20: slot cornerbacks. I would have looked at him and said,

606
00:25:52,320 --> 00:25:54,920
Speaker 20: this is a sam linebacker. But it's because his ability

607
00:25:55,040 --> 00:25:58,359
Speaker 20: to play on the outside, play deep, also play slot.

608
00:25:58,480 --> 00:26:00,879
Speaker 20: They have a guy who's a swim smarmy knife. Hopefully

609
00:26:00,880 --> 00:26:03,359
Speaker 20: his ankle is okay, but I think they have the

610
00:26:03,400 --> 00:26:04,840
Speaker 20: guy that make this defense.

611
00:26:04,600 --> 00:26:06,720
Speaker 2: Run, Sam Schwartz thing. Everybody.

612
00:26:06,760 --> 00:26:09,040
Speaker 1: You can catch him every week and hopefully we're still

613
00:26:09,040 --> 00:26:11,080
Speaker 1: doing this thing next year. Sam, I appreciate you being here,

614
00:26:11,200 --> 00:26:13,720
Speaker 1: live and in the flesh.

615
00:26:14,119 --> 00:26:17,520
Speaker 17: Super Bowl sixty weekend kicks off with NVIL Honors presented

623
00:26:40,400 --> 00:26:44,120
Speaker 17: on one of the biggest awards that we are going

624
00:26:44,160 --> 00:26:46,520
Speaker 17: to see tonight, the MVP.

625
00:26:46,680 --> 00:26:48,600
Speaker 4: Now, you obviously one of the voters on the NFL

626
00:26:48,640 --> 00:26:49,080
Speaker 4: dot com.

627
00:26:49,119 --> 00:26:51,359
Speaker 2: You have made your vote very clear.

628
00:26:51,480 --> 00:26:57,479
Speaker 17: Explain who is your MVP for these this season and why?

629
00:26:58,480 --> 00:27:00,639
Speaker 16: Well, I've got to be Matthew Stafford. I thought this

630
00:27:00,680 --> 00:27:04,120
Speaker 16: was pretty easy for me, just because look, when I'm

631
00:27:04,119 --> 00:27:06,480
Speaker 16: still working for the Giants and the Eagles are playing

632
00:27:06,480 --> 00:27:09,760
Speaker 16: against Matthew Stafford and he's better now than he was

633
00:27:09,840 --> 00:27:13,320
Speaker 16: five years ago, ten years ago. That's rare that NFL players,

634
00:27:13,359 --> 00:27:16,159
Speaker 16: particularly quarterbacks, kind of get better with age.

635
00:27:16,200 --> 00:27:17,800
Speaker 15: And Matthew Stafford was on fire.

636
00:27:17,840 --> 00:27:20,320
Speaker 16: Of course, he has these two guys, DeVante Adams and

637
00:27:20,359 --> 00:27:23,400
Speaker 16: Pookin Naku to throw two Kyra Williams out of the backfield.

638
00:27:23,440 --> 00:27:26,639
Speaker 16: But he really has raised his level even at his age,

639
00:27:26,680 --> 00:27:29,520
Speaker 16: can still move around the pocket, avoid pressure, makes plays

640
00:27:29,560 --> 00:27:32,240
Speaker 16: with his with his legs on the move. So really

641
00:27:32,320 --> 00:27:34,919
Speaker 16: played played at a high, high level, had some up

642
00:27:34,960 --> 00:27:36,600
Speaker 16: and ups and downs in some games, but for the

643
00:27:36,680 --> 00:27:40,840
Speaker 16: most part, the consistent production, playmaking and raising level of

644
00:27:40,960 --> 00:27:41,560
Speaker 16: his offense.

645
00:27:41,600 --> 00:27:42,560
Speaker 15: I had to give it to him.

646
00:27:45,359 --> 00:27:45,600
Speaker 6: Mark.

647
00:27:45,680 --> 00:27:48,280
Speaker 12: I thought the Offensive Player of the Year category is

648
00:27:48,440 --> 00:27:50,800
Speaker 12: really difficult this year. There were a lot of really

649
00:27:50,840 --> 00:27:52,680
Speaker 12: good candidates who got your vote.

650
00:27:54,040 --> 00:27:56,120
Speaker 16: A lot a lot of great candidates, and I went

651
00:27:56,160 --> 00:27:58,520
Speaker 16: back and forth between these two guys just mentioned Pookin

652
00:27:58,560 --> 00:28:01,719
Speaker 16: Nakua and then Jackson's than Jigba who will see this weekend.

653
00:28:01,760 --> 00:28:04,080
Speaker 16: I mean, when you look at their stats, They're almost

654
00:28:04,240 --> 00:28:08,560
Speaker 16: identical across the board in everything they did. I gave

655
00:28:08,640 --> 00:28:11,320
Speaker 16: the slight edge to Puka just because he played one

656
00:28:11,440 --> 00:28:12,639
Speaker 16: Lass game, but.

657
00:28:13,040 --> 00:28:14,040
Speaker 15: I could have go either way.

658
00:28:14,080 --> 00:28:16,879
Speaker 16: I mean, both of these guys provide huge impact for

659
00:28:17,080 --> 00:28:21,840
Speaker 16: their offenses, make timely plays, big plays down the field.

660
00:28:22,000 --> 00:28:23,840
Speaker 16: You want to throw them ten balls a game, they'll

661
00:28:23,880 --> 00:28:26,359
Speaker 16: catch ten. So I went back and forth on it,

662
00:28:26,720 --> 00:28:29,800
Speaker 16: but I just finally settled on Puoka just because you know,

663
00:28:29,920 --> 00:28:31,560
Speaker 16: Jackson Smith and Jigger's like, we're going to throw to

664
00:28:31,640 --> 00:28:33,960
Speaker 16: him all the time, no doubt about it, Whereas Puka

665
00:28:34,040 --> 00:28:36,200
Speaker 16: has DeVonta Adams on the other side, which is taking

666
00:28:36,240 --> 00:28:39,760
Speaker 16: away a lot of the production that Pooka could have

667
00:28:39,880 --> 00:28:43,000
Speaker 16: had if he's not there. So slight edge to Puka,

668
00:28:43,120 --> 00:28:45,160
Speaker 16: But Jackson Smith, the jiglar really right there, and they

669
00:28:45,240 --> 00:28:45,920
Speaker 16: split the award.

670
00:28:45,960 --> 00:28:46,640
Speaker 15: I wish he could.

671
00:28:49,240 --> 00:28:52,360
Speaker 17: Unfortunately, no split seas. Just like to be no split

672
00:28:52,400 --> 00:28:55,720
Speaker 17: seas for Defensive Player of the Year. Which way do

673
00:28:55,800 --> 00:28:56,719
Speaker 17: you go on this one?

674
00:28:56,840 --> 00:28:57,080
Speaker 6: Mark?

675
00:28:58,440 --> 00:29:00,640
Speaker 16: Well, this one we give three four five awards to

676
00:29:00,720 --> 00:29:02,800
Speaker 16: Miles Garrett. I mean this was a no brainer there

677
00:29:02,960 --> 00:29:06,960
Speaker 16: with Miles, and not just because he set the sack.

678
00:29:06,840 --> 00:29:07,600
Speaker 15: Record this year.

679
00:29:07,720 --> 00:29:11,080
Speaker 16: It's just how he just completely impacts a game. I mean,

680
00:29:11,240 --> 00:29:14,280
Speaker 16: even when he's not getting sacks, you're chipping him with

681
00:29:14,400 --> 00:29:17,520
Speaker 16: two sometimes three guys, as we saw in that Pittsburgh game,

682
00:29:17,560 --> 00:29:19,640
Speaker 16: as he mentioned afterwards, like they're just trying to have

683
00:29:19,800 --> 00:29:20,800
Speaker 16: me not break the record.

684
00:29:20,880 --> 00:29:22,560
Speaker 15: And that wasn't just that game.

685
00:29:22,840 --> 00:29:25,920
Speaker 16: There's every game that Miles Garrett plays where the offensive

686
00:29:25,920 --> 00:29:27,360
Speaker 16: coordinator is saying, where's Miles?

687
00:29:27,720 --> 00:29:28,600
Speaker 15: How do we stop him?

688
00:29:28,640 --> 00:29:30,720
Speaker 16: How do we not let him wreck the game? And

689
00:29:30,840 --> 00:29:33,000
Speaker 16: in effect, when you're saying how do we not him wreck?

690
00:29:33,200 --> 00:29:35,560
Speaker 16: Let him wreck the game, he's wrecking the game because

691
00:29:35,680 --> 00:29:38,160
Speaker 16: you have to put so many extra bodies to get

692
00:29:38,320 --> 00:29:41,200
Speaker 16: him to not wreck the game. So Miles Garrett was

693
00:29:41,240 --> 00:29:43,640
Speaker 16: an easy choice because of the sack record, but just

694
00:29:43,720 --> 00:29:45,720
Speaker 16: because I don't know if there's any defensive player that

695
00:29:45,840 --> 00:29:48,760
Speaker 16: has the impact that he does just being on the field.

696
00:29:51,640 --> 00:29:53,840
Speaker 12: I was an AP voter this year, and this is

697
00:29:53,880 --> 00:29:57,240
Speaker 12: the category that I agonized over more than any other.

698
00:29:57,440 --> 00:29:59,920
Speaker 12: It took me days to come to a conclusion about

699
00:30:00,160 --> 00:30:01,760
Speaker 12: to vote for who was your coach of the Year.

700
00:30:03,480 --> 00:30:05,240
Speaker 16: Well, Judy, I don't know who you voted for, but

701
00:30:05,520 --> 00:30:08,280
Speaker 16: I had five guys that this is even harder at

702
00:30:08,320 --> 00:30:09,800
Speaker 16: least with the Offensive Player of the Year.

703
00:30:09,800 --> 00:30:10,440
Speaker 15: I had two guys.

704
00:30:10,880 --> 00:30:13,280
Speaker 16: This is five guys that you're talking about that are

705
00:30:13,360 --> 00:30:17,320
Speaker 16: completely worthy. And that could be Liam Cohen, that's Ben Johnson,

706
00:30:17,720 --> 00:30:21,080
Speaker 16: that's the two coaches there in the Super Bowl as well,

707
00:30:21,400 --> 00:30:23,720
Speaker 16: not even to name some others. But I finally settled

708
00:30:23,760 --> 00:30:26,880
Speaker 16: on Shanahan, you know, Kyle Shanahan, just because I thought

709
00:30:26,960 --> 00:30:29,600
Speaker 16: he did more with less.

710
00:30:29,640 --> 00:30:30,680
Speaker 15: Than those others did.

711
00:30:30,760 --> 00:30:34,440
Speaker 16: Those others had a lot more talent and ideal circumstances

712
00:30:34,480 --> 00:30:35,440
Speaker 16: to go get those wins.

713
00:30:35,760 --> 00:30:38,480
Speaker 15: But with Shanahan, of course, he lost Brock Perdy throughout

714
00:30:38,480 --> 00:30:38,800
Speaker 15: the year.

715
00:30:38,960 --> 00:30:42,920
Speaker 16: Okay, we're just losing players every game with injuries that

716
00:30:43,080 --> 00:30:45,440
Speaker 16: go out of there, and yet and still makes the

717
00:30:45,480 --> 00:30:49,040
Speaker 16: playoffs in the toughest division in football, and then okay,

718
00:30:49,160 --> 00:30:51,880
Speaker 16: let's go win a playoff game against the defending champions.

719
00:30:52,360 --> 00:30:54,840
Speaker 16: So you know, for Kyle Shanahan, it was because he

720
00:30:54,960 --> 00:30:57,040
Speaker 16: did more with less and had them playing at a

721
00:30:57,120 --> 00:30:59,360
Speaker 16: high level each week, or saying how are the forty

722
00:30:59,440 --> 00:31:00,240
Speaker 16: nine ers doing this?

723
00:31:00,800 --> 00:31:02,440
Speaker 15: That's a testament to great coaching.

724
00:31:04,400 --> 00:31:07,320
Speaker 17: Mark excellent stuff. As always, I'm not saying your awards

725
00:31:07,320 --> 00:31:08,120
Speaker 17: are not important.

726
00:31:08,240 --> 00:31:08,480
Speaker 7: I'm not.

727
00:31:09,120 --> 00:31:13,160
Speaker 17: But the real Awards are coming up nine Eastern NBC

Speaker 12: It also seems like a celebration of Pittsburgh itself, right,

780
00:33:46,040 --> 00:33:48,760
Speaker 12: We're going to see the bridges, the rivers, the stadiums

00:33:51,240 --> 00:33:52,280
Speaker 10: Why was that important?

783
00:33:52,720 --> 00:33:55,680
Speaker 21: Yeah, we think Pittsburgh is, you know, a beautiful city

784
00:33:55,800 --> 00:33:59,720
Speaker 21: with a natural landscape that really catches the eye when

785
00:33:59,760 --> 00:34:02,760
Speaker 21: you're up on Mount Washington looking down on Point State

786
00:34:02,840 --> 00:34:04,040
Speaker 21: Park in the north shore.

787
00:34:04,520 --> 00:34:06,440

794
00:34:22,880 --> 00:34:26,120
Speaker 12: thousands of fans show up for the draft. What are

795

Speaker 21: sixth draft a special one.

806
00:34:56,160 --> 00:34:58,200
Speaker 10: Why was it so important for the Steelers to get

807
00:34:58,239 --> 00:34:59,320
Speaker 10: a draft in Pittsburgh.

808
00:34:59,640 --> 00:35:01,279
Speaker 12: Obviously you're not going to be able to host a

809
00:35:01,360 --> 00:35:04,440
Speaker 12: Super Bowl there probably, so why was this an important

810
00:35:04,440 --> 00:35:04,920
Speaker 12: event for you?

811
00:35:05,120 --> 00:35:07,479
Speaker 21: In a huge event that it'll be the biggest event

812
00:35:07,560 --> 00:35:09,760
Speaker 21: in Pittsburgh's history, the biggest event.

813
00:35:09,640 --> 00:35:10,800
Speaker 4: In Pennsylvania's history.

814
00:35:10,920 --> 00:35:15,880
Speaker 21: So, working with the NFL visit Pittsburgh, our corporate community

815
00:35:16,000 --> 00:35:18,520
Speaker 21: as well as our political community. The governor has been

816
00:35:18,560 --> 00:35:21,960
Speaker 21: a huge supporter, the mayor, the county executive. It's been

817
00:35:22,000 --> 00:35:25,359
Speaker 21: a collaborative effort to really show off why Pittsburgh has

818
00:35:25,400 --> 00:35:28,520
Speaker 21: such a bright future while also celebrating our rich history.

819
00:35:28,800 --> 00:35:31,239
Speaker 12: All right, let me ask you about your team. It's

820
00:35:31,280 --> 00:35:35,160
Speaker 12: obviously been an off season of transition already. Why was

821
00:35:35,200 --> 00:35:37,480
Speaker 12: Mike McCarthy the right guy for the job right now

822
00:35:37,560 --> 00:35:38,160
Speaker 12: for the Steelers.

823
00:35:38,360 --> 00:35:40,319
Speaker 21: It was great to get to know coach McCarthy through

824
00:35:40,320 --> 00:35:43,520
Speaker 21: the interview process, remember him back in twenty ten when

825
00:35:43,520 --> 00:35:45,040
Speaker 21: he beat us in the Super Bowl, So it was

826
00:35:45,080 --> 00:35:47,279
Speaker 21: good to see him on our side this time. But

827
00:35:47,880 --> 00:35:50,920
Speaker 21: just a special guy with an awesome coaching resume and

828
00:35:51,040 --> 00:35:53,520
Speaker 21: has the right plan and vision for what the Steelers

829
00:35:53,600 --> 00:35:56,120
Speaker 21: need need right now. So really excited to get to

832
00:36:02,520 --> 00:36:04,680
Speaker 4: We're excited to get going right now.

833
00:36:04,800 --> 00:36:07,120
Speaker 21: Combine's coming up in a few weeks, and you know,

834
00:36:07,239 --> 00:36:10,480
