Anyway, back 17 00:01:22,308 --> 00:01:25,708 Speaker 1: to the story of Bruce Arians stepping aside, not retiring, 18 00:01:25,788 --> 00:01:28,588 Speaker 1: making it clear he's still going to be in the building. 19 00:01:28,588 --> 00:01:31,148 Speaker 1: He made that clear publicly and also in a text 20 00:01:31,148 --> 00:01:33,868 Speaker 1: to his players that I'll get to in a second. 21 00:01:33,908 --> 00:01:37,988 Speaker 1: But Arians making it clear. In a story written by 22 00:01:37,988 --> 00:01:40,308 Speaker 1: Peter King as well as one by Sam Farmer, those 23 00:01:40,348 --> 00:01:44,188 Speaker 1: two veteran NFL scribes Hall of famers shared the scope 24 00:01:44,228 --> 00:01:47,308 Speaker 1: on this one, Arians, saying that was probably going to 25 00:01:47,388 --> 00:01:50,588 Speaker 1: retire after this upcoming season, had thought about stepping aside 26 00:01:51,228 --> 00:01:54,588 Speaker 1: as early as the scouting combine this offseason. Wanted to 27 00:01:54,628 --> 00:01:57,268 Speaker 1: turn the team over to Todd Bowles at some point. 28 00:01:57,268 --> 00:02:00,668 Speaker 1: Has always thought about a succession plant and when Tom 29 00:02:00,708 --> 00:02:04,228 Speaker 1: Brady came back, they resigned. Chris Godwin added a couple 30 00:02:04,228 --> 00:02:07,028 Speaker 1: of other pieces, brought some guys back. Arians said, what 31 00:02:07,188 --> 00:02:09,108 Speaker 1: time better than right now? Let me turn it over 32 00:02:09,148 --> 00:02:11,628 Speaker 1: to bowls when we've got a good team, because we've 33 00:02:11,628 --> 00:02:14,108 Speaker 1: got a really tough schedule next season. They are the 34 00:02:14,268 --> 00:02:17,268 Speaker 1: fourth toughest schedule and the Buccaneers have according to the 35 00:02:17,268 --> 00:02:20,588 Speaker 1: strength of schedule based off this last season. So Arians 36 00:02:20,628 --> 00:02:23,468 Speaker 1: wanting to turn it over two bowls when the team 37 00:02:23,588 --> 00:02:25,228 Speaker 1: is in good shape. Now I know how it looks. 38 00:02:25,788 --> 00:02:27,588 Speaker 1: I know a lot of folks are gonna make talk 39 00:02:27,628 --> 00:02:30,188 Speaker 1: about the dynamic with Tom Brady. Sarah Walsh is coming 40 00:02:30,228 --> 00:02:32,308 Speaker 1: up in a second. She will talk about that. All 41 00:02:32,348 --> 00:02:35,428 Speaker 1: we can tell you is that Arians has been consistent 42 00:02:35,508 --> 00:02:38,988 Speaker 1: in his message publicly and privately. Well that text of 43 00:02:39,028 --> 00:02:41,428 Speaker 1: the players said last night quote with Tom coming back, 44 00:02:41,628 --> 00:02:43,308 Speaker 1: the guys we've been able to retain, and the new 45 00:02:43,308 --> 00:02:45,708 Speaker 1: free agents we've added, I know this team is built 46 00:02:45,748 --> 00:02:48,828 Speaker 1: for continued success. That's why I know now is the time. 47 00:02:48,868 --> 00:02:50,828 Speaker 1: I want Todd and the rest of your coaches to 48 00:02:50,908 --> 00:02:53,628 Speaker 1: have every chance to succeed, and I know that they will. 49 00:02:53,708 --> 00:02:55,708 Speaker 1: Balls getting a new five year deal, he was one 50 00:02:55,708 --> 00:02:58,508 Speaker 1: of the highest paid defensive coordinators in the league. Now 51 00:02:58,588 --> 00:03:00,308 Speaker 1: going to be paid as a head coach on a 52 00:03:00,348 --> 00:03:03,068 Speaker 1: brand new five year deal. Todd Bowles taking over from 53 00:03:03,068 --> 00:03:06,868 Speaker 1: Bruce Arians. Rachel, all right, thanks, Mike. We do know 54 00:03:06,948 --> 00:03:10,588 Speaker 1: how it looks. That Mike is a whole reports now, 55 00:03:10,628 --> 00:03:12,748 Speaker 1: I know how it looks, and we all know how 56 00:03:12,748 --> 00:03:15,388 Speaker 1: it looks, and I would bet that Sarah Walsh knows 57 00:03:15,428 --> 00:03:18,988 Speaker 1: how it looks. Sarah, we're using this term juicy details 58 00:03:19,068 --> 00:03:21,708 Speaker 1: now we heard. I don't know if we classify them 59 00:03:21,708 --> 00:03:25,868 Speaker 1: as rumors. There's actually a report of friction between Bruce 60 00:03:25,948 --> 00:03:28,508 Speaker 1: Arians and Tom Brady. I don't know if that's mythical 61 00:03:28,628 --> 00:03:31,348 Speaker 1: or factual, But what role did any of that play 62 00:03:31,388 --> 00:03:33,228 Speaker 1: in all of this? If any role at all and 63 00:03:33,268 --> 00:03:35,188 Speaker 1: good morning, Sarah, give us the give us the juice 64 00:03:35,188 --> 00:03:38,348 Speaker 1: of details. Yeah, good morning. And you know what I 65 00:03:38,428 --> 00:03:40,788 Speaker 1: love in Mike's saying that, turn it over to Sarah. 66 00:03:40,868 --> 00:03:43,468 Speaker 1: Let her get that gritty, get the rumors out of 67 00:03:43,468 --> 00:03:45,628 Speaker 1: the way. So here's the deal. I'm how if the 68 00:03:45,708 --> 00:03:48,508 Speaker 1: Bucks complex on a regular basis, on a day to 69 00:03:48,628 --> 00:03:51,268 Speaker 1: day basis, you never saw anything like that. What you 70 00:03:51,348 --> 00:03:54,028 Speaker 1: did see is Bruce Arians is a very blunt guy. 71 00:03:54,268 --> 00:03:56,708 Speaker 1: He doesn't sugarcoat things. And I think some of that 72 00:03:56,908 --> 00:04:00,388 Speaker 1: anytime he criticized Brady, and rarely ever in Brady's career 73 00:04:00,428 --> 00:04:02,908 Speaker 1: did we ever see Tom Brady get criticized so early 74 00:04:02,948 --> 00:04:04,828 Speaker 1: on when Brady got there. If Brady through a pick 75 00:04:04,828 --> 00:04:07,028 Speaker 1: and it was his fault, Bruce Arians would go, hey, 76 00:04:07,028 --> 00:04:09,068 Speaker 1: that's his fault. And I think people freaked out and 77 00:04:09,068 --> 00:04:11,228 Speaker 1: we're like, oh my god, how dare you criticize Tom 78 00:04:11,268 --> 00:04:13,508 Speaker 1: Brady when I always thought Tom Brady would be the 79 00:04:13,508 --> 00:04:16,148 Speaker 1: first person to take, you know, say the onus is 80 00:04:16,188 --> 00:04:18,308 Speaker 1: on him if it was his fault. So I think 81 00:04:18,388 --> 00:04:20,868 Speaker 1: some of that was so puflown. I can tell you 82 00:04:20,948 --> 00:04:23,508 Speaker 1: that Jason Light, their general manager, was asked about this 83 00:04:24,068 --> 00:04:27,508 Speaker 1: just about weeks ago when they were introducing Chris Godwin 84 00:04:27,588 --> 00:04:30,588 Speaker 1: or they're not introduced him, reintroducing him on and his deal, 85 00:04:31,068 --> 00:04:34,228 Speaker 1: and he said, you know, there's always friction between players 86 00:04:34,228 --> 00:04:36,188 Speaker 1: and coaches. They don't think too much of it. It 87 00:04:36,268 --> 00:04:40,588 Speaker 1: was probably all overblown. I don't think personally that Tom 88 00:04:40,588 --> 00:04:43,308 Speaker 1: Brady came back forced Bruce Arians to retire, which is 89 00:04:43,308 --> 00:04:44,988 Speaker 1: how I think people are looking at it. I think 90 00:04:45,028 --> 00:04:47,428 Speaker 1: Bruce Arians has been in this game a long time. 91 00:04:47,508 --> 00:04:50,188 Speaker 1: He said, so he has been with Todd Bowls for 92 00:04:50,268 --> 00:04:52,748 Speaker 1: over four decades. I mean that is a long time 93 00:04:52,868 --> 00:04:55,268 Speaker 1: to have this guy by your side. He is a 94 00:04:55,308 --> 00:04:57,628 Speaker 1: guy that cares about his coaches. He cares who he 95 00:04:57,668 --> 00:05:00,228 Speaker 1: has surrounding him, and he wants to take care of 96 00:05:00,268 --> 00:05:03,028 Speaker 1: those guys. And I remember specifically asking Bruce at the 97 00:05:03,068 --> 00:05:06,148 Speaker 1: combine how happy he was that he got Byron Leftwich 98 00:05:06,308 --> 00:05:08,748 Speaker 1: and Todd Bowles back, and he said he was really 99 00:05:08,748 --> 00:05:11,828 Speaker 1: happy because, quite honestly, he said, he was making plans 100 00:05:12,068 --> 00:05:14,668 Speaker 1: for the opposite so selfishly he said, yeah, he'd like 101 00:05:14,748 --> 00:05:17,028 Speaker 1: to have them back, but even more so, he wanted 102 00:05:17,068 --> 00:05:18,988 Speaker 1: them to be head coaches. And now he gets to 103 00:05:18,988 --> 00:05:22,708 Speaker 1: turn over the reins to his guy, his successor in 104 00:05:22,748 --> 00:05:25,188 Speaker 1: a manner in which this isn't a rebuild. It has 105 00:05:25,228 --> 00:05:27,948 Speaker 1: been a reload and Todd Bowles is sitting in a 106 00:05:28,028 --> 00:05:31,508 Speaker 1: great position with a team that should contend for a championship. 107 00:05:33,068 --> 00:05:36,428 Speaker 1: Yes he is. And what a legacy Bruce Arians leaves behind. 108 00:05:36,508 --> 00:05:39,748 Speaker 1: Thank you, Sarah, appreciate your time. Guys. This offseason, it's 109 00:05:39,788 --> 00:05:41,988 Speaker 1: like it's like March was, like it's the thirty first. 110 00:05:42,028 --> 00:05:45,188 Speaker 1: I'm running on a time chaos, I mean more chaos. 111 00:05:45,868 --> 00:05:48,148 Speaker 1: We're gonna hear from Bruce Arians later today. He's going 112 00:05:48,188 --> 00:05:50,188 Speaker 1: to be speaking to the media at one pm Eastern, 113 00:05:50,508 --> 00:05:53,548 Speaker 1: So keeping here on NFL Network's let's break this down. 114 00:05:53,588 --> 00:05:54,948 Speaker 1: What do you guys think of the big news from 115 00:05:55,028 --> 00:05:59,348 Speaker 1: last night, Bruce Arians stepping down as Bucks head coach 116 00:05:59,468 --> 00:06:01,748 Speaker 1: Franks when he got there could be multiple things at 117 00:06:01,748 --> 00:06:05,468 Speaker 1: play here, like everything that Mike couldn't be right, and 118 00:06:05,588 --> 00:06:08,228 Speaker 1: they are right. And the legacy that Bruce Arians will 119 00:06:08,308 --> 00:06:11,028 Speaker 1: leave behind is one of the great coaches and one 120 00:06:11,028 --> 00:06:14,628 Speaker 1: of the great ambassadors of the sport for inclusion. So 121 00:06:14,948 --> 00:06:17,268 Speaker 1: you know, when we're talking about leftwich and bowls and 122 00:06:17,348 --> 00:06:20,748 Speaker 1: listens and there. Over his forty year coaching career, his 123 00:06:20,788 --> 00:06:23,948 Speaker 1: staff has include so many different coordinators of color, but 124 00:06:24,028 --> 00:06:27,388 Speaker 1: also females and women, and he's always been the person 125 00:06:27,428 --> 00:06:29,588 Speaker 1: to be breaking down doors for inclusion. And if this 126 00:06:29,668 --> 00:06:33,148 Speaker 1: is legacy, is hey, I'm passing over a team that's 127 00:06:33,268 --> 00:06:35,868 Speaker 1: got Tom Brady and Mike Evans and Chris Godwin and 128 00:06:36,028 --> 00:06:38,988 Speaker 1: Devin White to Todd Bowles so that Todd Bowles can 129 00:06:38,988 --> 00:06:41,428 Speaker 1: then go on to succeed as opposed to giving Todd 130 00:06:41,428 --> 00:06:43,468 Speaker 1: Bowles from crap sandwich of a bunch of guys and 131 00:06:43,508 --> 00:06:47,268 Speaker 1: a new quarterback. That's a great legacy. Why now? Why though? 132 00:06:47,468 --> 00:06:50,588 Speaker 1: After the owners meetings where Bruce arians representative team and 133 00:06:50,668 --> 00:06:53,708 Speaker 1: not Todd Bowles, I'm told that there were still some 134 00:06:53,748 --> 00:06:56,108 Speaker 1: things that had to be worked out with the league. 135 00:06:56,148 --> 00:06:57,828 Speaker 1: And what do I mean by that? The Rooney rule, 136 00:06:58,028 --> 00:07:05,028 Speaker 1: by design requires you to interview two minority candidates externally. Okay, 137 00:07:05,068 --> 00:07:08,588 Speaker 1: you have to no matter what we're at March twenty seventh, 138 00:07:08,628 --> 00:07:10,348 Speaker 1: when this thing is going down here, And even if 139 00:07:10,348 --> 00:07:12,428 Speaker 1: he was gonna do it in the beginning of March 140 00:07:12,468 --> 00:07:15,788 Speaker 1: at free agency, that would have been March thirteenth, fourteenth 141 00:07:15,828 --> 00:07:20,708 Speaker 1: after March, after the start of March, you cannot interview 142 00:07:20,748 --> 00:07:23,028 Speaker 1: for the team could block you. So, like if I said, hey, 143 00:07:23,068 --> 00:07:26,628 Speaker 1: I want to interview let's say Aaron Glenn the Detroit Lions. 144 00:07:26,788 --> 00:07:28,788 Speaker 1: I found the Lions could say no, no, no no, no, 145 00:07:28,828 --> 00:07:30,988 Speaker 1: it's March. You can't interview Aaron Glenn for your head coach. 146 00:07:31,348 --> 00:07:33,668 Speaker 1: So that would have been a hurdle. And then there's 147 00:07:33,668 --> 00:07:35,788 Speaker 1: this thing with like why are we interviewing Aaron Glenn 148 00:07:35,828 --> 00:07:38,748 Speaker 1: he wants to hire a minority candidate in Todd Bowles. 149 00:07:38,948 --> 00:07:41,868 Speaker 1: Isn't that the definition of sham interview that Brian Flores 150 00:07:41,908 --> 00:07:44,348 Speaker 1: brought up all along? Like why are we dragging Aaron 151 00:07:44,388 --> 00:07:45,868 Speaker 1: Glenn to this? So they had to deal with it 152 00:07:45,908 --> 00:07:48,148 Speaker 1: with the league, the League and the Bucks. The Bucks 153 00:07:48,148 --> 00:07:51,668 Speaker 1: are confident that they don't break the Rooney rule by 154 00:07:51,708 --> 00:07:54,468 Speaker 1: hiring Todd Bowles as a replacement. Let's get that out 155 00:07:54,468 --> 00:07:56,548 Speaker 1: of the way. The other thing is what Aaron said, 156 00:07:56,588 --> 00:08:00,508 Speaker 1: I think if he steps away or if he's fired 157 00:08:00,588 --> 00:08:03,228 Speaker 1: or whatever in February, they will hire outside or they 158 00:08:03,228 --> 00:08:06,108 Speaker 1: at least open that up. It's thirty one different coaches 159 00:08:06,148 --> 00:08:08,988 Speaker 1: and their families that are now in flux. Arians has 160 00:08:09,028 --> 00:08:11,348 Speaker 1: said openly, and I think there is something to this. 161 00:08:11,828 --> 00:08:13,948 Speaker 1: I'm not looking to ruin all those people's lives. I 162 00:08:13,988 --> 00:08:15,588 Speaker 1: want to put them in a good place. So he 163 00:08:15,628 --> 00:08:18,148 Speaker 1: gets to protect his staff, go to the front office, 164 00:08:18,268 --> 00:08:20,268 Speaker 1: and also make sure all those people are taken care of. 165 00:08:20,828 --> 00:08:24,468 Speaker 1: The Brady piece. Why did Brady retire? Why did Brady 166 00:08:24,468 --> 00:08:26,428 Speaker 1: come back and then have this thing go out? I 167 00:08:26,468 --> 00:08:29,188 Speaker 1: haven't spoken to Tom Brady, but when Tom Brady came back, 168 00:08:29,188 --> 00:08:31,388 Speaker 1: did I not come on this show and say last 169 00:08:31,428 --> 00:08:33,628 Speaker 1: year ended weird? I would be shocked if there wasn't 170 00:08:33,668 --> 00:08:37,268 Speaker 1: some changes made. There were some changes that happened overnight. 171 00:08:37,628 --> 00:08:40,828 Speaker 1: And I think that Arians being there, they get along great, 172 00:08:41,108 --> 00:08:42,708 Speaker 1: but I do think there had to be some sort 173 00:08:42,748 --> 00:08:45,108 Speaker 1: of change. It turns out that Arians won't be coaching 174 00:08:45,268 --> 00:08:48,308 Speaker 1: for his personal reasons, for his legacy, for all these things. 175 00:08:48,348 --> 00:08:49,908 Speaker 1: His name will be in that Bucks Ring of Honor. 176 00:08:49,948 --> 00:08:51,708 Speaker 1: There's no friction here. This guy is going to be 177 00:08:51,748 --> 00:08:54,108 Speaker 1: loved as a Buccaneers coach for what he did. And 178 00:08:54,148 --> 00:08:56,428 Speaker 1: I think Brady gets to go out and say cheers 179 00:08:56,468 --> 00:08:59,508 Speaker 1: to you, and that's where the story will lie publicly. 180 00:08:59,828 --> 00:09:02,868 Speaker 1: Whatever happened privately, we don't have to address that because hey, 181 00:09:02,988 --> 00:09:04,948 Speaker 1: Byron left, which is going to be on STA He's 182 00:09:04,948 --> 00:09:07,428 Speaker 1: gonna call the players of Brady Todd Bowls is the coach. 183 00:09:07,588 --> 00:09:09,628 Speaker 1: Away we go, Let's try to win another one back. 184 00:09:10,308 --> 00:09:12,668 Speaker 1: And the story does have a nice tie to it. 185 00:09:12,788 --> 00:09:15,228 Speaker 1: But I would I would be skeptical if I him 186 00:09:15,268 --> 00:09:17,188 Speaker 1: on here today, and I was just like, everyone's great 187 00:09:17,188 --> 00:09:19,668 Speaker 1: and all those things are changes were made Brady's back, 188 00:09:19,908 --> 00:09:22,308 Speaker 1: and that's the story that I got today. Bruce Arians 189 00:09:23,388 --> 00:09:27,148 Speaker 1: wanting to hand the team off to Todd Bowls and said, 190 00:09:27,468 --> 00:09:33,148 Speaker 1: is a very beautiful, magnanimous, generous story. All right, let's 191 00:09:33,148 --> 00:09:36,868 Speaker 1: get this. Let's get this straight. Brady retires. Arians is 192 00:09:36,908 --> 00:09:39,268 Speaker 1: out there saying, I'm still coaching. I'm coaching. I'm coaching. 193 00:09:39,308 --> 00:09:41,788 Speaker 1: I'm not going anywhe I'm not going anywhere. The team 194 00:09:41,828 --> 00:09:44,948 Speaker 1: gets Brady back, the greatest ever. They get their free agents, 195 00:09:45,108 --> 00:09:48,868 Speaker 1: they get the godwins, They're ready, they got a supple NFC. 196 00:09:49,468 --> 00:09:51,988 Speaker 1: They're gonna dance to another Super Bowl. He's gonna go 197 00:09:52,028 --> 00:09:53,548 Speaker 1: to the Hall of Fame if he wins Nurse. And 198 00:09:54,068 --> 00:09:58,348 Speaker 1: I think this is the time to come on, um, Mike, 199 00:09:58,428 --> 00:10:01,708 Speaker 1: pose the question, what better time than right now? How 200 00:10:01,708 --> 00:10:04,708 Speaker 1: about after another boat parade that you are turned for 201 00:10:05,188 --> 00:10:08,308 Speaker 1: You're ready? And I don't I don't think Tom Brady 202 00:10:08,628 --> 00:10:12,228 Speaker 1: forced him out. I'm sure they get along fine, but 203 00:10:12,348 --> 00:10:14,348 Speaker 1: I don't think Tom Brady is there playing at Bruce 204 00:10:14,388 --> 00:10:16,068 Speaker 1: arians is the head coach. I think is that's I 205 00:10:16,068 --> 00:10:18,988 Speaker 1: think it was a condition of his return, and that's okay. Listen, 206 00:10:19,468 --> 00:10:21,468 Speaker 1: go to the Instagram Are you kidding me? With this? 207 00:10:21,668 --> 00:10:25,188 Speaker 1: The story comes out thirty seconds later. Brady has a 208 00:10:25,228 --> 00:10:29,188 Speaker 1: beautifully composed message with the right emoji and the right 209 00:10:29,268 --> 00:10:32,508 Speaker 1: message and just the perfect picture. And if that wasn't 210 00:10:32,628 --> 00:10:34,988 Speaker 1: enough of showing the hand, are you kidding me? Look 211 00:10:34,988 --> 00:10:38,948 Speaker 1: at the comments? An older gentleman, he's already on Instagram 212 00:10:38,948 --> 00:10:41,988 Speaker 1: with his own thanks brother, And by the way, it 213 00:10:42,028 --> 00:10:45,388 Speaker 1: was rid Above a comment from Hugh Jackman like Matthew Jackson. 214 00:10:45,468 --> 00:10:50,748 Speaker 1: Hugh Jackman. Jackson chimed into, yes, the two wolverine's on 215 00:10:50,788 --> 00:10:53,228 Speaker 1: that post. How about Like, I think this has been 216 00:10:53,308 --> 00:10:57,628 Speaker 1: extremely orchestrated. And the front office position is, you know, 217 00:10:57,668 --> 00:10:59,748 Speaker 1: the dog's going to the farm upstate, and we love 218 00:10:59,828 --> 00:11:01,468 Speaker 1: that dog, and that's great, and we're gonna have it 219 00:11:01,508 --> 00:11:04,188 Speaker 1: taken care of. Um, it's fine, and it's and it'll 220 00:11:04,228 --> 00:11:05,668 Speaker 1: be right, and the team is going to be fine. 221 00:11:05,748 --> 00:11:07,668 Speaker 1: And I don't think that they hate each other, Sean, 222 00:11:08,268 --> 00:11:11,628 Speaker 1: But I think Brady ran this thing from start to finish, 223 00:11:11,708 --> 00:11:14,108 Speaker 1: got the guy he wanted and the Bucks remember they 224 00:11:14,148 --> 00:11:16,428 Speaker 1: wanted him back. They we're talking about Kyle Traska on 225 00:11:16,468 --> 00:11:18,468 Speaker 1: the show and they're like, I don't think it was 226 00:11:18,468 --> 00:11:20,668 Speaker 1: a condition, Sean. But I think Tom said, I think 227 00:11:20,668 --> 00:11:22,668 Speaker 1: I'd be much more comfortable coming back if maybe there 228 00:11:22,708 --> 00:11:25,588 Speaker 1: was a coaching change, any guy at any back. It's 229 00:11:25,628 --> 00:11:27,748 Speaker 1: definitely interesting. I'll say right off the gate, I wish 230 00:11:27,748 --> 00:11:29,228 Speaker 1: he would have announced a little bit earlier so we 231 00:11:29,228 --> 00:11:31,108 Speaker 1: didn't have to rip up the show. You know, it's 232 00:11:31,108 --> 00:11:33,388 Speaker 1: a great point, Sean. Yeah, at night it's a little 233 00:11:33,468 --> 00:11:35,628 Speaker 1: late Bay. People are trying to do a morning show. 234 00:11:35,668 --> 00:11:38,508 Speaker 1: We're putting in some work. Think about others to that point, 235 00:11:39,148 --> 00:11:41,188 Speaker 1: who serians has always been thinking about others. And I 236 00:11:41,468 --> 00:11:43,388 Speaker 1: appreciate what you're bringing up. And you guys have all 237 00:11:43,428 --> 00:11:46,148 Speaker 1: brought up all the different levels to this, and I'll 238 00:11:46,228 --> 00:11:48,628 Speaker 1: just personalize a little bit. I played for BA, and 239 00:11:48,908 --> 00:11:50,268 Speaker 1: I've been in the locker room, I've been in the 240 00:11:50,308 --> 00:11:52,948 Speaker 1: Cafe Tiret. There isn't a single player who doesn't love BA. 241 00:11:53,108 --> 00:11:56,588 Speaker 1: There's a single coach that doesn't love BA. So I 242 00:11:56,788 --> 00:11:59,268 Speaker 1: hear the man there's friction with Tom Brady and all 243 00:11:59,308 --> 00:12:02,188 Speaker 1: that stuff, and I don't believe any of that from 244 00:12:02,228 --> 00:12:04,548 Speaker 1: a standpoint of that they would either want to them 245 00:12:04,548 --> 00:12:08,708 Speaker 1: would force the other one out. Bruce arians has coached 246 00:12:08,748 --> 00:12:11,748 Speaker 1: Peyton Manning, He's coached Tim Couch, Kelly Holkam. When I 247 00:12:11,828 --> 00:12:15,148 Speaker 1: was there, Ben Roethlisberger, and you know, look, he led 248 00:12:15,188 --> 00:12:17,788 Speaker 1: the league with Jamis Winston, so he was a little 249 00:12:17,788 --> 00:12:19,628 Speaker 1: bit of a quarterback whisperer. When you kind of think 250 00:12:19,628 --> 00:12:22,508 Speaker 1: about what BA has brought to the NFL, and I 251 00:12:22,628 --> 00:12:25,828 Speaker 1: think that the love aspect of it for BA, like 252 00:12:25,908 --> 00:12:28,508 Speaker 1: why did he do this? And why now? He thought 253 00:12:28,548 --> 00:12:30,348 Speaker 1: Todd Bowles was head coach material, and the fact that 254 00:12:30,388 --> 00:12:32,428 Speaker 1: Tod Bowles didn't get a head coaching job somewhere else 255 00:12:32,548 --> 00:12:33,748 Speaker 1: is why I think he felt like he had to 256 00:12:33,748 --> 00:12:36,108 Speaker 1: step in. He thought that Todd would get hired this 257 00:12:36,628 --> 00:12:39,708 Speaker 1: during this cycle, and it's a when Bowles he gets 258 00:12:39,708 --> 00:12:42,148 Speaker 1: a job, all right, I'll stay for another year and 259 00:12:42,228 --> 00:12:43,868 Speaker 1: then I'll hold down the flour. But when he didn't 260 00:12:43,908 --> 00:12:45,948 Speaker 1: get it, it was you know what, all right, I 261 00:12:45,988 --> 00:12:49,228 Speaker 1: gotta make the change. And I think for BA, I 262 00:12:49,388 --> 00:12:52,068 Speaker 1: was in Cleveland, Todd Bowles was our defensive back coach. 263 00:12:52,708 --> 00:12:54,988 Speaker 1: BA was our offensive coordinator, and our other defensive back 264 00:12:55,028 --> 00:12:58,188 Speaker 1: coach was Chuck Bagano. You want to talk about Bruce 265 00:12:58,228 --> 00:13:00,508 Speaker 1: Arians taking care of his guys, this is not the 266 00:13:00,548 --> 00:13:02,508 Speaker 1: first time Bruce Arians has stepped down and retired, and 267 00:13:02,548 --> 00:13:04,868 Speaker 1: he's done it three times. He left Spur, he was 268 00:13:04,948 --> 00:13:06,468 Speaker 1: in his car, he was driving down to his lake 269 00:13:06,548 --> 00:13:09,188 Speaker 1: house in Georgia, I think it is, and he was done. 270 00:13:09,228 --> 00:13:11,428 Speaker 1: He had all packed up. Chuck mcgonald gets hired by 271 00:13:11,428 --> 00:13:14,708 Speaker 1: the Indianapolis Colts and he calls up BA and he says, hey, brother, 272 00:13:15,108 --> 00:13:17,148 Speaker 1: I need you. We're gotta we gotta run this thing back. 273 00:13:17,228 --> 00:13:19,788 Speaker 1: And BA is like, all right, turns the car around, 274 00:13:19,868 --> 00:13:22,588 Speaker 1: it comes back. And of course that was when Chuck 275 00:13:22,668 --> 00:13:25,508 Speaker 1: mcgonald was diagnosed with lukemi and back in twenty twelve, 276 00:13:25,988 --> 00:13:28,228 Speaker 1: BA takes over and that was his first head coaching gig. 277 00:13:28,708 --> 00:13:31,348 Speaker 1: And when you see the brotherhood and what he did 278 00:13:31,468 --> 00:13:33,628 Speaker 1: with Chuck mcgonah while Chuck was in the hospital, and 279 00:13:33,708 --> 00:13:35,828 Speaker 1: how how much he stood up for him and how 280 00:13:35,948 --> 00:13:38,668 Speaker 1: much he meant for him, you see the brotherhood that 281 00:13:38,868 --> 00:13:41,148 Speaker 1: BA cares about. That's what I think is most important 282 00:13:41,148 --> 00:13:42,348 Speaker 1: and I think that's why it was such a big 283 00:13:42,508 --> 00:13:44,388 Speaker 1: moment for him to be able to say, look, Bolzy, 284 00:13:44,508 --> 00:13:46,788 Speaker 1: this is the best time to do this, because we're 285 00:13:46,828 --> 00:13:48,588 Speaker 1: in great shape right now. You could take on over. 286 00:13:48,708 --> 00:13:51,628 Speaker 1: And I think for um, you know, for anybody that 287 00:13:51,708 --> 00:13:54,748 Speaker 1: has been around BA, they know that, Like his favorite 288 00:13:54,788 --> 00:13:57,588 Speaker 1: time is five o'clock, and you know, now it may 289 00:13:57,628 --> 00:13:59,348 Speaker 1: be three o'clock. I'm gonna say, I think it might 290 00:13:59,348 --> 00:14:02,148 Speaker 1: be a little earlier than even that might have been. 291 00:14:02,588 --> 00:14:04,228 Speaker 1: I think now he gets a chance to kind of 292 00:14:04,428 --> 00:14:05,708 Speaker 1: do a little bit more of what he wants to do. 293 00:14:06,748 --> 00:14:08,628 Speaker 1: Those are all beautiful stories, and I don't doubt that 294 00:14:08,748 --> 00:14:11,708 Speaker 1: Bruce arians has a fantastic relationship with absolutely everybody in 295 00:14:11,748 --> 00:14:15,908 Speaker 1: the locker room, but I'm leaning towards KB and what 296 00:14:16,068 --> 00:14:18,068 Speaker 1: he said. Did you guys hear what Sarah said when 297 00:14:18,148 --> 00:14:20,548 Speaker 1: she was breaking everything down. She said, I just talked 298 00:14:20,588 --> 00:14:24,348 Speaker 1: to Bruce and he's really excited. He's fired up about 299 00:14:24,348 --> 00:14:27,628 Speaker 1: all these offseason moves. That's a weird thing to be 300 00:14:27,788 --> 00:14:30,868 Speaker 1: fired up about if you're around the corner from retirement. 301 00:14:30,948 --> 00:14:33,308 Speaker 1: Obviously he's got that in his head. So that was 302 00:14:33,348 --> 00:14:35,148 Speaker 1: a little bit confusing. I don't know about you, guys, 303 00:14:35,188 --> 00:14:37,988 Speaker 1: but I was very much excited about Brady going to 304 00:14:38,068 --> 00:14:40,548 Speaker 1: the Dolphins. I was hot on that. I was thought 305 00:14:40,628 --> 00:14:42,708 Speaker 1: on that. I saw. I saw the announcement last night, 306 00:14:42,708 --> 00:14:44,468 Speaker 1: and I was like, it's a done deal. You guys, 307 00:14:44,508 --> 00:14:47,828 Speaker 1: come on. I start doing my due diligence and digging around. 308 00:14:48,388 --> 00:14:52,748 Speaker 1: Mike McDaniel said this on Monday, Tom Brady on the Buccaneers, 309 00:14:52,788 --> 00:14:56,348 Speaker 1: that Tom Brady that has not been in the conversation 310 00:14:56,428 --> 00:14:59,228 Speaker 1: about him coming to Miami. I think that's what chicoll 311 00:14:59,428 --> 00:15:01,548 Speaker 1: fake news. So if you're at home, I know this. 312 00:15:01,828 --> 00:15:05,148 Speaker 1: This started going viral last night. Everyone was Brady to Miami, 313 00:15:05,348 --> 00:15:08,708 Speaker 1: Brady to Miami. It's not happening, guys. Okay, we lost 314 00:15:08,948 --> 00:15:12,148 Speaker 1: we lost this one. We lost this I did. It 315 00:15:12,308 --> 00:15:14,228 Speaker 1: was in my mind it was gonna be a beautiful thing. 316 00:15:14,308 --> 00:15:17,468 Speaker 1: It was gonna be more chaos in March. Loved what 317 00:15:17,628 --> 00:15:19,988 Speaker 1: I loved it. Speaking of the madness of March is 318 00:15:20,028 --> 00:15:21,988 Speaker 1: coming to a close. So next we've got some other 319 00:15:22,068 --> 00:15:27,628 Speaker 1: emotional beautile to explore. March Blankness is next. March Blankness. 320 00:15:29,308 --> 00:15:43,708 Speaker 1: Medcalf on the move. Hey, welcome back. It has been 321 00:15:43,788 --> 00:15:47,388 Speaker 1: one of the wildest months in a long time. But 322 00:15:47,948 --> 00:15:50,708 Speaker 1: both in the NFL and outside of it, with all 323 00:15:50,748 --> 00:15:53,268 Speaker 1: that's going on, I wanted to know how you guys 324 00:15:53,348 --> 00:15:56,428 Speaker 1: feel about some of these things that we're gonna talk about. 325 00:15:56,428 --> 00:15:58,308 Speaker 1: So it's time for a new game. We are calling 326 00:15:58,708 --> 00:16:02,988 Speaker 1: March blankness. Let's go all right, Okay, here's how it's 327 00:16:02,988 --> 00:16:04,868 Speaker 1: gonna work. I'm gonna give you guys to stay. Using 328 00:16:04,908 --> 00:16:08,388 Speaker 1: your whiteboards, you'll write down March gladness if that statement 329 00:16:08,428 --> 00:16:11,508 Speaker 1: makes you happy or think it's a good thing, or 330 00:16:11,628 --> 00:16:13,908 Speaker 1: you'll write March sadness if it's something that makes you 331 00:16:13,988 --> 00:16:16,388 Speaker 1: sad or you think it's a bad thing. Makes sense, 332 00:16:16,588 --> 00:16:19,628 Speaker 1: got it? Yeah? Okay? Really happy? I thought of this one, 333 00:16:20,068 --> 00:16:22,628 Speaker 1: all right, Jess. When we think this insane off season 334 00:16:22,748 --> 00:16:24,868 Speaker 1: is done, a new set of rumors emerge about DK 335 00:16:25,148 --> 00:16:28,468 Speaker 1: Metcalf possibly being on the market. Pete Carroll and John 336 00:16:28,508 --> 00:16:31,788 Speaker 1: Schneider have both said they intend from Metcalf to stay 337 00:16:31,788 --> 00:16:34,308 Speaker 1: in Seattle, but they said the same thing about Russell 338 00:16:34,348 --> 00:16:37,228 Speaker 1: Wilson less than a month before dealing him to Denver. 339 00:16:37,428 --> 00:16:41,068 Speaker 1: So DK Metcalf possibly on the move from Seattle. Does 340 00:16:41,108 --> 00:16:44,908 Speaker 1: that make you feel good? March gladness or bad? Do 341 00:16:44,988 --> 00:16:46,348 Speaker 1: we write the word glad or do we write the 342 00:16:46,388 --> 00:16:47,908 Speaker 1: word sad. What do you know what, Let's just go 343 00:16:47,988 --> 00:16:51,668 Speaker 1: with the flow. Let's see what happens. I'm going with gladness. 344 00:16:51,748 --> 00:16:54,828 Speaker 1: Selfishly gladness. I feel like the tank might be empty 345 00:16:54,908 --> 00:16:57,148 Speaker 1: with NFL news and we've got a long offseason in 346 00:16:57,228 --> 00:17:00,988 Speaker 1: DK Metcalf hovering as a possibility to be traded, keeps 347 00:17:01,068 --> 00:17:03,428 Speaker 1: all fan bases engaged. When I say all fan bases, 348 00:17:03,708 --> 00:17:06,508 Speaker 1: Green Bay fans reacted in a way I have never seen. 349 00:17:07,028 --> 00:17:09,028 Speaker 1: When I mentioned on this show that I would call 350 00:17:09,068 --> 00:17:12,708 Speaker 1: about DK Metcalf after the Devantadden straight my twitter blew up. 351 00:17:12,908 --> 00:17:15,588 Speaker 1: I said it on McAfee show, his Twitter blow. DK 352 00:17:15,708 --> 00:17:18,748 Speaker 1: metcalfs on the move. Wait we need This is what 353 00:17:18,948 --> 00:17:21,788 Speaker 1: keeps us engaged the possibility of a satellite, a burning 354 00:17:21,908 --> 00:17:25,268 Speaker 1: star possibly joining Green Bait. What about Jets fans who 355 00:17:25,428 --> 00:17:29,308 Speaker 1: thought maybe Tyreek was coming. Maybe they were in the conversation. 356 00:17:29,588 --> 00:17:32,828 Speaker 1: What if I said, you get a younger, bigger, maybe 357 00:17:32,908 --> 00:17:36,428 Speaker 1: more explosive receiver across the middle in Dk Metcalf. If 358 00:17:36,428 --> 00:17:39,628 Speaker 1: you're a Jet fan, I say, gladness the Seahawks. You're 359 00:17:39,628 --> 00:17:41,668 Speaker 1: a fan base, I understand where you're at right now. 360 00:17:41,748 --> 00:17:44,468 Speaker 1: You're already licking your wounds over Wagner and Wilson, why 361 00:17:44,628 --> 00:17:46,988 Speaker 1: not just say gladness for the thirty one other fan 362 00:17:47,028 --> 00:17:50,508 Speaker 1: bases that might be able to secure and pay DK Metcalf. 363 00:17:51,228 --> 00:17:52,508 Speaker 1: All right, well, listen, I think there's a lot of 364 00:17:52,548 --> 00:17:55,548 Speaker 1: dbs right now that are tweeting out Kyle's favorite emoji 365 00:17:55,708 --> 00:17:58,228 Speaker 1: right now. I think that right there, a lot of 366 00:17:58,308 --> 00:18:01,068 Speaker 1: dbs out there in the league are saying, oh boy, 367 00:18:01,188 --> 00:18:04,868 Speaker 1: if this guy comes into our division, where will be sad? 368 00:18:05,188 --> 00:18:07,868 Speaker 1: But I think for DK Metcalf and the ability for 369 00:18:07,948 --> 00:18:09,868 Speaker 1: him now, I mean, we all know where he's going, right, 370 00:18:09,948 --> 00:18:12,668 Speaker 1: He's going to the AFC West like somebody somebody that 371 00:18:13,348 --> 00:18:15,588 Speaker 1: hid them up, a scoop him up. But when you 372 00:18:15,708 --> 00:18:19,948 Speaker 1: think about for him, it's here comes to the recruitment style, right, 373 00:18:19,988 --> 00:18:24,228 Speaker 1: this is recruiting season for players to bring other players 374 00:18:24,308 --> 00:18:26,828 Speaker 1: with them. I could totally see a J. Brown standing 375 00:18:26,868 --> 00:18:29,348 Speaker 1: up and be like, hey, let's bring it back teammate, 376 00:18:29,468 --> 00:18:32,828 Speaker 1: old miss y. Right, they were together, and that photo 377 00:18:32,908 --> 00:18:34,988 Speaker 1: that we showed here on this show numerous times, it 378 00:18:35,028 --> 00:18:37,308 Speaker 1: looked like Kyle with his shirt off with the abs 379 00:18:37,548 --> 00:18:40,788 Speaker 1: and Washboords hind reuniting with AJ Brown down a tendency 380 00:18:40,908 --> 00:18:43,428 Speaker 1: could happen. H This is where I'm supposed to say, 381 00:18:43,508 --> 00:18:47,068 Speaker 1: what is it madness or sadness? Sadness? I'm going gladness too. 382 00:18:47,588 --> 00:18:50,868 Speaker 1: I'm three for three. I have season tickets the DK metcaster, 383 00:18:51,028 --> 00:18:53,588 Speaker 1: I have stock. We need to do right by. Too 384 00:18:53,708 --> 00:18:56,028 Speaker 1: much of a star, too much of a talent. He 385 00:18:56,268 --> 00:18:59,068 Speaker 1: is a five tool NFL entity in that he has 386 00:18:59,108 --> 00:19:01,628 Speaker 1: the ability, He's got something to say. He can get 387 00:19:01,668 --> 00:19:03,588 Speaker 1: a little loose on social media, he can get a 388 00:19:03,588 --> 00:19:05,628 Speaker 1: little loose on the side. He is like mister if 389 00:19:05,708 --> 00:19:08,788 Speaker 1: we are gonna mire him in Seattle with through Lark 390 00:19:09,028 --> 00:19:11,428 Speaker 1: or like some rookie who may not who is the 391 00:19:11,508 --> 00:19:14,948 Speaker 1: quarterback for him this year? I want him relevant and Seattle. 392 00:19:15,028 --> 00:19:18,148 Speaker 1: All that we're hearing is rebuild breakdown. They're not showing 393 00:19:18,188 --> 00:19:20,428 Speaker 1: their hand for a quarterback. So unless they do something 394 00:19:20,588 --> 00:19:22,908 Speaker 1: insane in the next week and maybe in the next 395 00:19:22,948 --> 00:19:24,868 Speaker 1: twelve hours, been at it before March is over. I 396 00:19:24,988 --> 00:19:26,668 Speaker 1: want him out of Seattles, get him out of their 397 00:19:26,708 --> 00:19:28,508 Speaker 1: seal team six, take them, get him out of their 398 00:19:28,588 --> 00:19:32,708 Speaker 1: droppings anywhere. That's okay. So Adams obviously is amazing. If 399 00:19:32,748 --> 00:19:37,828 Speaker 1: DK Metcalf goes to Green Bay, is that wow? Yeah, packers. Yeah, yeah, 400 00:19:37,948 --> 00:19:40,428 Speaker 1: that's fun. I mean that's then they can break up 401 00:19:40,548 --> 00:19:44,868 Speaker 1: the rams Bucks title game perhaps, Yeah, absolutely, let's do it. Okay, 402 00:19:45,228 --> 00:19:47,548 Speaker 1: final one. I'm only making you guys see this twice. 403 00:19:47,828 --> 00:19:50,148 Speaker 1: Chris Rock, the man on the receiving end of the 404 00:19:50,228 --> 00:19:53,748 Speaker 1: slap heard round the world. While most people sympathize with 405 00:19:53,828 --> 00:19:55,748 Speaker 1: the comedian, we don't have to feel that bad. It 406 00:19:55,868 --> 00:19:58,028 Speaker 1: was reported this week the ticket prices for his current 407 00:19:58,068 --> 00:20:01,308 Speaker 1: comedy tour have surged, going from a minimum of forty 408 00:20:01,348 --> 00:20:05,508 Speaker 1: six dollars per ticket last week to thirty one dollars 409 00:20:05,988 --> 00:20:09,748 Speaker 1: minimum per tickets. So Chris Rock reaping the benefits of 410 00:20:10,308 --> 00:20:12,828 Speaker 1: the slap, does that make you feel March gladness or 411 00:20:12,948 --> 00:20:20,868 Speaker 1: March sadness? Okay, what I'm gonna jump in sadness? Sadness 412 00:20:20,948 --> 00:20:23,748 Speaker 1: because we have a we have a wrestler in the 413 00:20:24,028 --> 00:20:26,988 Speaker 1: w w E world coming on later or a wrestling imagine. 414 00:20:27,308 --> 00:20:28,508 Speaker 1: We are not going to mention who it is. We're 415 00:20:28,508 --> 00:20:31,388 Speaker 1: gonna surprise you with that. Um. It makes me fear 416 00:20:31,428 --> 00:20:33,068 Speaker 1: that this was all a little bit of a work 417 00:20:33,108 --> 00:20:35,068 Speaker 1: by mister Rock. Not that he got slapped, I think 418 00:20:35,068 --> 00:20:39,428 Speaker 1: that was real. But when he slaps him and he goes, 419 00:20:40,028 --> 00:20:44,108 Speaker 1: keep out of your mountain. He goes and he resists. Yeah, 420 00:20:44,268 --> 00:20:46,828 Speaker 1: he's holding back. He's holding back. And I'm wondering if 421 00:20:46,948 --> 00:20:51,028 Speaker 1: in the moment Chris Rock is saying, oh, I'm going 422 00:20:51,068 --> 00:20:54,428 Speaker 1: on tour next week, let's save all the good material. 423 00:20:54,748 --> 00:20:58,548 Speaker 1: If Chris Rock explodes on Will Smith right there on set, 424 00:20:59,348 --> 00:21:01,948 Speaker 1: all right, well, then he's to blame, maybe the people saying, oh, 425 00:21:01,988 --> 00:21:04,908 Speaker 1: he went over the line. But he handled it so perfectly, 426 00:21:05,308 --> 00:21:09,428 Speaker 1: so cleanly, so Hollywood that I'm a little concerned that 427 00:21:09,948 --> 00:21:13,428 Speaker 1: Chris Rock, the consummate professional, didn't give Will Smith the 428 00:21:13,508 --> 00:21:16,388 Speaker 1: business for three hundred million Americans on national TV because 429 00:21:16,508 --> 00:21:19,668 Speaker 1: he knew some people have to pay instead of forty dollars, 430 00:21:19,788 --> 00:21:22,868 Speaker 1: three hundred and forty dollars to see him. I always 431 00:21:22,908 --> 00:21:25,908 Speaker 1: think next level conspiracy theory. After the slat Rock thinks 432 00:21:25,908 --> 00:21:29,428 Speaker 1: about ticket price, save it, save it, see the bigger 433 00:21:29,428 --> 00:21:32,028 Speaker 1: man Martin makes some money off of this thing. I'm 434 00:21:32,068 --> 00:21:34,068 Speaker 1: saying sadness because I personally would have loved to see 435 00:21:34,148 --> 00:21:39,308 Speaker 1: him just rip him. Yes, thinking right there, yeah, on 436 00:21:39,428 --> 00:21:42,628 Speaker 1: the greatest night in television history. I'm going gladness right here. 437 00:21:42,708 --> 00:21:44,988 Speaker 1: And I think when, when when this went down and 438 00:21:45,188 --> 00:21:47,308 Speaker 1: everybody saw the video and you saw everything that happened, 439 00:21:47,628 --> 00:21:49,388 Speaker 1: you're thinking, oh my gosh. You know, you feel bad 440 00:21:49,388 --> 00:21:51,308 Speaker 1: for Chris Rock. Obviously has happened. He had the show, 441 00:21:51,388 --> 00:21:53,428 Speaker 1: had to go on, and while his face is still stinging, 442 00:21:53,508 --> 00:21:55,108 Speaker 1: he's thinking, all right, how do I handle this? What 443 00:21:55,188 --> 00:21:56,628 Speaker 1: do I do? Do we go to commercial? Do we 444 00:21:57,268 --> 00:21:59,868 Speaker 1: And you have to feel like, oh my gosh. All 445 00:21:59,908 --> 00:22:02,508 Speaker 1: he did was do his job as a host of 446 00:22:02,668 --> 00:22:05,028 Speaker 1: that show. You're supposed to roast people, but you're supposed 447 00:22:05,028 --> 00:22:08,388 Speaker 1: to to make jokes there not even hosts right right, presenter. 448 00:22:08,548 --> 00:22:11,108 Speaker 1: You're supposed to kind of make people like, oh boy, 449 00:22:11,188 --> 00:22:13,548 Speaker 1: though that was the toe in the line. He did 450 00:22:13,588 --> 00:22:15,788 Speaker 1: his job. And you know what I love why Gladness 451 00:22:16,108 --> 00:22:17,988 Speaker 1: is on my board is because he's not shying away 452 00:22:18,028 --> 00:22:20,588 Speaker 1: from this.

We're not a show that usually 496 00:24:24,828 --> 00:24:27,588 Speaker 1: has takes or draws the ire of our of the 497 00:24:27,748 --> 00:24:30,268 Speaker 1: NFL players, but we caused a bit of stir of 498 00:24:30,348 --> 00:24:34,588 Speaker 1: our show yesterday, Dante Hall, and with good intentions, suggested 499 00:24:34,708 --> 00:24:38,188 Speaker 1: just suggested that the reason Lamar Jackson maybe hasn't signed 500 00:24:38,228 --> 00:24:42,028 Speaker 1: that massive extension in Baltimore is because maybe he doesn't 501 00:24:42,028 --> 00:24:44,108 Speaker 1: want to go back to Baltimore. Suggestion he even said, 502 00:24:44,268 --> 00:24:46,468 Speaker 1: I have no intuitions is not anything. I'm just throwing 503 00:24:46,508 --> 00:24:48,988 Speaker 1: this out there. Lamar watching the show says, I love 504 00:24:49,108 --> 00:24:50,988 Speaker 1: my Ravens. I don't know who the hell putting that 505 00:24:51,068 --> 00:24:53,948 Speaker 1: false narrative out that I'm having thoughts and we even 506 00:24:54,108 --> 00:24:57,468 Speaker 1: stopped trying to read my mind. Love that love that 507 00:24:57,508 --> 00:25:00,268 Speaker 1: he spoke, do too? Do too. We're basically telling our 508 00:25:00,348 --> 00:25:03,028 Speaker 1: humble little show here in New York on the NFL network, 509 00:25:03,508 --> 00:25:12,748 Speaker 1: Get my name him out? WoT was Dante Halls my 510 00:25:13,068 --> 00:25:17,988 Speaker 1: name chi mouth? Well, we love Lamar Jackson show. I 511 00:25:17,988 --> 00:25:21,708 Speaker 1: don't or anyone has celebrated Lamar Jackson more and has 512 00:25:21,868 --> 00:25:23,988 Speaker 1: enjoyed the fruits of what he does on the field 513 00:25:23,988 --> 00:25:26,468 Speaker 1: and our little show that comes on on Monday mornings 514 00:25:26,548 --> 00:25:28,108 Speaker 1: being able to revellish in what he does. And we 515 00:25:28,228 --> 00:25:31,068 Speaker 1: love his draft class. So we thought, in honor of 516 00:25:31,308 --> 00:25:34,028 Speaker 1: all that's going on with the twenty eighteen draft class 517 00:25:34,068 --> 00:25:36,348 Speaker 1: this offseason, and there has been a lot. We're going 518 00:25:36,428 --> 00:25:40,268 Speaker 1: back a few years twenty eighteen Draft class trivia. Are 519 00:25:40,348 --> 00:25:47,588 Speaker 1: we ready? I'm ready? Justin and Trent love Lamar Jackson, right, Yeah, 520 00:25:47,748 --> 00:25:51,428 Speaker 1: they love that. They love them real stretch there. Lamar 521 00:25:51,588 --> 00:25:56,868 Speaker 1: Jackson was the thirty second overall charity j Okay, it's 522 00:25:56,868 --> 00:26:02,668 Speaker 1: all right. Eight perennial Pro Bowler went four picks after 523 00:26:02,868 --> 00:26:05,668 Speaker 1: Lamar in the twenty eighteen NFL drafts. So he went 524 00:26:05,708 --> 00:26:11,228 Speaker 1: thirty second? Yeah? Who went thirty six? Okay? Was it 525 00:26:11,308 --> 00:26:14,468 Speaker 1: Michael Dixon the perennial Pro Bowl punder? Was it Jesse 526 00:26:14,588 --> 00:26:19,388 Speaker 1: Bates perennial Pro Bowl safety, Darius Leonard perennial Pro Bowl 527 00:26:19,548 --> 00:26:25,188 Speaker 1: linebacker or Fred Warner Perennial Pro Bowler linebacker? Nine? I 528 00:26:25,268 --> 00:26:27,708 Speaker 1: feel like Fred Warner was a fourth or fifth round pick. 529 00:26:28,028 --> 00:26:29,788 Speaker 1: He was the first one that I thought of. But 530 00:26:29,948 --> 00:26:32,348 Speaker 1: I'm gonna go with Darius Leonard. Give me the maniac. Okay, 531 00:26:33,228 --> 00:26:35,388 Speaker 1: I think it should be a Dixon punted twice on 532 00:26:35,428 --> 00:26:41,508 Speaker 1: one play. Dixon's amazing correct answer see Darius called selected 533 00:26:41,548 --> 00:26:44,908 Speaker 1: him thirty six in the twenty eighteen NFL draft, four 534 00:26:44,988 --> 00:26:48,948 Speaker 1: picks after Lamar Leonard led the NFL and tackles in 535 00:26:49,028 --> 00:26:50,708 Speaker 1: one defensive rookie the year that first year he led 536 00:26:50,708 --> 00:26:52,588 Speaker 1: the NFL and tackles his first season on the field. 537 00:26:53,108 --> 00:26:56,548 Speaker 1: Since entering the NFL, Leonard is a three time All 538 00:26:56,668 --> 00:26:59,188 Speaker 1: Pro and he's had one hundred tackles in every season 539 00:26:59,548 --> 00:27:02,108 Speaker 1: all four since he's entered the league. Guy Darius Leonard 540 00:27:02,148 --> 00:27:04,068 Speaker 1: slipped to thirty six in the draft. He might be 541 00:27:04,108 --> 00:27:06,668 Speaker 1: the best defensive player in the league. That is how 542 00:27:07,028 --> 00:27:09,508 Speaker 1: much hit or miss the draft is. And Lamar goes 543 00:27:09,548 --> 00:27:12,628 Speaker 1: thirty two, Leonard goes thirty five spots. There's an MVP 544 00:27:13,108 --> 00:27:16,148 Speaker 1: that kind of player on defense. It's so cool. Draft 545 00:27:16,188 --> 00:27:23,348 Speaker 1: is amazing? Ready, No, I'm not Rachel. Which player from 546 00:27:23,388 --> 00:27:27,108 Speaker 1: the twenty eighteen NFL draft currently ranks fifth on all 547 00:27:27,228 --> 00:27:31,508 Speaker 1: active players in postseason rushing yards? All right? Is it 548 00:27:31,628 --> 00:27:35,628 Speaker 1: a Lamar Jackson? Is it B Daryl Williams, Is it 549 00:27:35,828 --> 00:27:39,508 Speaker 1: C Rojoe Ronald Jones? Or is it d Sony Michelle? 550 00:27:39,548 --> 00:27:43,668 Speaker 1: Let me reiterate postseason rushing yards for guys still currently 551 00:27:43,748 --> 00:27:46,788 Speaker 1: in the league. Who ranks fifth out of these four 552 00:27:47,188 --> 00:27:51,628 Speaker 1: post season Oh? I mean, we were just talking about 553 00:27:51,708 --> 00:27:53,708 Speaker 1: Lamar Jackson, But how much time have they spend in 554 00:27:53,748 --> 00:28:00,148 Speaker 1: the postseason a minute, Um, I'm gonna go Maybe this 555 00:28:00,388 --> 00:28:05,428 Speaker 1: is dumb, I'm gonna go, Lamar. He said fifth, He 556 00:28:05,508 --> 00:28:08,348 Speaker 1: said fifth. Yes, he's played in three playoff games, but 557 00:28:08,468 --> 00:28:15,068 Speaker 1: the correct answer is d Sony Michelle. Look at this. 558 00:28:15,228 --> 00:28:16,868 Speaker 1: Look at this list too. We had Frank Gore in 559 00:28:16,868 --> 00:28:19,188 Speaker 1: there because he hasn't a fishally retired. But Derrick Henry, 560 00:28:19,668 --> 00:28:24,548 Speaker 1: Leonard Fournette, Russell Wilson fourth, and then there's Sony. Sony's 561 00:28:24,548 --> 00:28:27,068 Speaker 1: got four hundred and seventy seven playoff rusher, He's playing 562 00:28:27,188 --> 00:28:29,948 Speaker 1: eight playoff games. He's got more rushing yards in the 563 00:28:29,988 --> 00:28:34,388 Speaker 1: playoffs than Adrian Peterson does. Then Ezekiel Elliott does, then 564 00:28:34,508 --> 00:28:37,628 Speaker 1: mark Ingram does. Wow. Sony Michelle rushed for three hundred 565 00:28:37,628 --> 00:28:40,828 Speaker 1: and thirty six rushing yards alone in that twenty eighteen postseason, 566 00:28:41,388 --> 00:28:43,748 Speaker 1: and it's the third most of any rookie and superwater. 567 00:28:43,828 --> 00:28:46,468 Speaker 1: He also scored the only touchdown a super row fifty 568 00:28:46,548 --> 00:28:48,308 Speaker 1: three against the Rams. And he is with the Patriots, 569 00:28:48,348 --> 00:28:50,348 Speaker 1: so does all that, and then he goes for the 570 00:28:50,468 --> 00:28:54,228 Speaker 1: Rams and plays easier Super Bowl as a Los Angeles Rams. 571 00:28:54,268 --> 00:28:58,748 Speaker 1: So Sony Michelle quietly stacking up playoff berths and stacking 572 00:28:58,828 --> 00:29:02,708 Speaker 1: up rushing yards free agent right now, Okay, get them, 573 00:29:02,828 --> 00:29:05,148 Speaker 1: Let's do it. Peter, give me the mixed bag. All right, 574 00:29:05,228 --> 00:29:06,948 Speaker 1: this is what we called a mixed bag. It could 575 00:29:06,988 --> 00:29:10,228 Speaker 1: be anything. Kyle.

Yeah, I think, 658 00:34:25,068 --> 00:34:26,708 Speaker 1: you know, you look at that number and then you 659 00:34:26,748 --> 00:34:28,668 Speaker 1: break it down even more and you talk about twenty 660 00:34:28,708 --> 00:34:31,988 Speaker 1: seven to know at home, never lost a game at 661 00:34:32,068 --> 00:34:34,988 Speaker 1: Nipperd Stadium, and you know, it's just a testament to 662 00:34:35,188 --> 00:34:37,508 Speaker 1: you know, not only my hard work, but the hard 663 00:34:37,548 --> 00:34:39,468 Speaker 1: work of all my teammates, all my brothers that we 664 00:34:39,588 --> 00:34:41,468 Speaker 1: put it in over the course of the four or 665 00:34:41,508 --> 00:34:44,428 Speaker 1: five years that we've been there, and so really just 666 00:34:44,628 --> 00:34:47,308 Speaker 1: to put those seasons, you know, back to back to 667 00:34:47,388 --> 00:34:50,508 Speaker 1: back to back. It's just been a blessing and like 668 00:34:50,628 --> 00:34:52,628 Speaker 1: I said again, a testament to all of our hard work. 669 00:34:54,348 --> 00:34:56,988 Speaker 1: Twenty seven or all at home is unbelievable. And listen, 670 00:34:57,228 --> 00:34:59,068 Speaker 1: I'm supposed to ask you what makes you stand out 671 00:34:59,108 --> 00:35:00,988 Speaker 1: as a quarterback. We're gonna do it in our own way. 672 00:35:00,988 --> 00:35:02,828 Speaker 1: We already know what makes you stand out as decision 673 00:35:02,868 --> 00:35:05,068 Speaker 1: making and spot In eighty I go to commercial break. 674 00:35:05,228 --> 00:35:06,948 Speaker 1: You come on, you say hello, We're all saying, oh, 675 00:35:07,068 --> 00:35:09,268 Speaker 1: nice to come on the show.

And so you know, I always remember 703 00:36:34,348 --> 00:36:36,548 Speaker 1: that game gout my college career as one of the 704 00:36:36,588 --> 00:36:39,468 Speaker 1: biggest games of my life. But you know, for us, 705 00:36:39,708 --> 00:36:41,628 Speaker 1: it was just another game that week, you know, going 706 00:36:41,668 --> 00:36:44,548 Speaker 1: in that week, um, you know with our our you know, 707 00:36:44,748 --> 00:36:48,788 Speaker 1: previous defensive coordinator coach Freeman at Notre Dame now and 708 00:36:49,188 --> 00:36:50,948 Speaker 1: so just going in knowing that we got to play 709 00:36:50,988 --> 00:36:54,228 Speaker 1: our best um, and not let the so called stage 710 00:36:54,308 --> 00:36:56,468 Speaker 1: get to us.

One of your teammates from Cincinnati is also 717 00:37:13,308 --> 00:37:17,228 Speaker 1: expecting to be a high draft pick this year, Sauce Gardner. 718 00:37:17,708 --> 00:37:21,468 Speaker 1: I want to talk about this. Look at that prost. 719 00:37:21,508 --> 00:37:23,748 Speaker 1: She need your opinion of this, the Sauce chain he's 720 00:37:23,748 --> 00:37:26,788 Speaker 1: been wearing around, But also what is he like away 721 00:37:26,868 --> 00:37:30,588 Speaker 1: from the cameras. Yeah, so he's had the chain for 722 00:37:30,628 --> 00:37:33,508 Speaker 1: a little bit, so that's not new to me. Um. 723 00:37:33,868 --> 00:37:35,908 Speaker 1: But you know what he's like away from the camera 724 00:37:36,188 --> 00:37:37,748 Speaker 1: is almost what you see on camera. I mean, what 725 00:37:37,868 --> 00:37:39,868 Speaker 1: you see is what you get with this kid. Um. 726 00:37:39,988 --> 00:37:43,108 Speaker 1: You know, he's a great player obviously on the field, UM, 727 00:37:43,268 --> 00:37:46,908 Speaker 1: and then he's an even great greater teammate, greater brother, UM, 728 00:37:47,068 --> 00:37:49,108 Speaker 1: and a great leader of his position. You know, he's 729 00:37:49,148 --> 00:37:51,228 Speaker 1: a guy that's gonna work as hard as he can 730 00:37:51,348 --> 00:37:53,748 Speaker 1: every single day and he's gonna bring the best out 731 00:37:53,788 --> 00:37:56,068 Speaker 1: of you know, not only your other teammates, but he's 732 00:37:56,068 --> 00:37:57,548 Speaker 1: also going to bring the best out of the person 733 00:37:57,628 --> 00:38:00,228 Speaker 1: he's going against. Because if you don't show up and 734 00:38:00,388 --> 00:38:02,268 Speaker 1: have your a game that day, then you're probably not 735 00:38:02,388 --> 00:38:04,708 Speaker 1: going to see the ball that day. So you know, 736 00:38:04,788 --> 00:38:06,828 Speaker 1: if you're going one hundred percent against him, he's gonna 737 00:38:06,828 --> 00:38:09,308 Speaker 1: go one hundred and ten percent. And you know, ten 738 00:38:09,388 --> 00:38:11,348 Speaker 1: out of ten days, I'm gonna pick Sauce over who 739 00:38:11,388 --> 00:38:15,308 Speaker 1: he's going against. Wow, I love that. What a pitch, 740 00:38:15,468 --> 00:38:17,548 Speaker 1: What an absolute pitch, and what a great teammate he is. 741 00:38:17,588 --> 00:38:19,308 Speaker 1: I'm gonna do I'm gonna ask you do something you 742 00:38:19,348 --> 00:38:22,068 Speaker 1: don't always do. Desmond's make this about yourself before we go. 743 00:38:22,268 --> 00:38:27,428 Speaker 1: There are thirty two teams watching here in the NFL network, GMS, owners, coaches, 744 00:38:27,548 --> 00:38:29,308 Speaker 1: and they're going over all their decisions they're gonna have 745 00:38:29,348 --> 00:38:31,228 Speaker 1: to make on draft night, looking at the camera and 746 00:38:31,388 --> 00:38:33,708 Speaker 1: succinctly in any way you want tell them why they 747 00:38:33,708 --> 00:38:38,188 Speaker 1: should draft you. Yeah, they should draft me, dozen Ritter, 748 00:38:38,868 --> 00:38:41,108 Speaker 1: because I'm the best quarterback in the in this class. 749 00:38:41,228 --> 00:38:44,468 Speaker 1: You know, I'm the quarterbacker as in most wins, most 750 00:38:44,548 --> 00:38:46,468 Speaker 1: experience and I'm ready to go out there and lead 751 00:38:46,468 --> 00:38:48,708 Speaker 1: a team to a Super Bowl, UM, and go out 752 00:38:48,708 --> 00:38:51,188 Speaker 1: there and build a winning culture for an organization, for 753 00:38:51,308 --> 00:38:53,708 Speaker 1: a team, UM, and for a city in a community. 754 00:38:56,228 --> 00:38:59,108 Speaker 1: About this guy, I mean, I'm the guy. I'll tell you, Desmond, 755 00:38:59,108 --> 00:39:00,588 Speaker 1: I set it off, Camrade, and I'll tell you in 756 00:39:00,828 --> 00:39:03,988 Speaker 1: the Jets had Desmond Ritter as their quarterback at the 757 00:39:04,068 --> 00:39:06,788 Speaker 1: Senior Bowl. They're not taking a quarterback. They've got Zach Wilson. 758 00:39:07,308 --> 00:39:11,028 Speaker 1: The coaches were raving about this young man and his 759 00:39:11,188 --> 00:39:14,428 Speaker 1: leadership skills from that entire week experience with them. Desmond, 760 00:39:14,468 --> 00:39:16,908 Speaker 1: I hope every team can enjoy that. And let's hope 761 00:39:16,948 --> 00:39:19,188 Speaker 1: that a team calls your name early on draft night 762 00:39:19,268 --> 00:39:20,708 Speaker 1: so that you can be on our show as an 763 00:39:20,788 --> 00:39:23,348 Speaker 1: NFL player coming up in the coming years. We know 764 00:39:23,388 --> 00:39:26,468 Speaker 1: what song is Gangs, ma'am.
