1
00:00:05,120 --> 00:00:08,720
Speaker 1: Welcome to NFL Daily, where we could see William H.

2
00:00:08,800 --> 00:00:11,680
Speaker 2: Macy over there, like, hey, he's right there, the guy

3
00:00:11,680 --> 00:00:12,200
Speaker 2: from Fargo.

4
00:00:12,280 --> 00:00:17,840
Speaker 1: I'm Greg Rosenthal here at Radio Row for our final show,

5
00:00:18,640 --> 00:00:20,960
Speaker 1: and I'm with Jordan Rodrigan, Nick Schuk, who I also

6
00:00:21,000 --> 00:00:21,760
Speaker 1: went out to dinner.

7
00:00:22,120 --> 00:00:24,520
Speaker 2: Yeah, some delicious Neapolitan pizza here in.

8
00:00:24,560 --> 00:00:25,360
Speaker 3: San Francisco, Alas.

9
00:00:25,720 --> 00:00:28,880
Speaker 4: It was an excellent selection of pizza. Great ordering by Greg,

10
00:00:29,120 --> 00:00:31,800
Speaker 4: great planning by Greg. We may have forced him to plan,

11
00:00:31,840 --> 00:00:33,720
Speaker 4: but he tunched through. He came through in front of

12
00:00:33,760 --> 00:00:34,280
Speaker 4: you rate spot.

13
00:00:34,360 --> 00:00:38,479
Speaker 1: It took almost two full seasons, but I finally showed

14
00:00:38,520 --> 00:00:39,240
Speaker 1: some leadership.

15
00:00:39,680 --> 00:00:42,159
Speaker 2: That was it just picking a restaurant at work.

16
00:00:42,120 --> 00:00:44,000
Speaker 5: And if you're gonna choose a moment to do it,

17
00:00:44,040 --> 00:00:45,040
Speaker 5: that was the right moment.

18
00:00:45,200 --> 00:00:45,559
Speaker 6: That was it.

19
00:00:45,600 --> 00:00:46,440
Speaker 2: I was really excited.

20
00:00:46,640 --> 00:00:49,040
Speaker 1: You know, I can see, like I said, William H.

21
00:00:49,080 --> 00:00:52,239
Speaker 1: Macy of Fargo Fame, Pleasantville.

22
00:00:51,680 --> 00:00:53,400
Speaker 2: Was kind of a sneaky fun one.

23
00:00:53,520 --> 00:00:56,960
Speaker 1: Thank you for snoke for smoking is an on heralded Jim.

24
00:00:57,480 --> 00:00:59,840
Speaker 1: You don't normally see like a William H. Macy walking

25
00:01:00,080 --> 00:01:01,800
Speaker 1: around here. And we're going to get to all the

26
00:01:01,840 --> 00:01:04,120
Speaker 1: awards in about one minute.

27
00:01:04,440 --> 00:01:05,039
Speaker 2: Hall of Fame.

28
00:01:05,920 --> 00:01:10,200
Speaker 1: Some coaching stuff, and then some really good interviews that

29
00:01:10,240 --> 00:01:13,240
Speaker 1: we're going to listen to today. Denzel Ward's coming up

30
00:01:13,520 --> 00:01:15,840
Speaker 1: on the show, talk a little bit about Jim Schwartz

31
00:01:15,880 --> 00:01:18,880
Speaker 1: not going to be back in that building, Kyle Hamilton, who.

32
00:01:19,200 --> 00:01:20,280
Speaker 2: Is on a Hall of Fame.

33
00:01:20,120 --> 00:01:22,000
Speaker 1: Trajectory, even though I didn't want to say that to

34
00:01:22,080 --> 00:01:26,600
Speaker 1: his face, and then Dalton Schultz. I think Dalton Schultz

35
00:01:27,400 --> 00:01:30,839
Speaker 1: took that loss to the Patriots harder than any player

36
00:01:30,880 --> 00:01:32,440
Speaker 1: I've ever spoken to has taken a loss.

37
00:01:32,600 --> 00:01:37,440
Speaker 5: He sucks open sadness, but just like willingness to talk

38
00:01:37,480 --> 00:01:39,679
Speaker 5: about it. I mean, for a second, I was like, Wow,

39
00:01:39,680 --> 00:01:43,920
Speaker 5: we've been transported into Sexson's.

40
00:01:43,000 --> 00:01:45,000
Speaker 2: Fans will love him even more.

41
00:01:44,840 --> 00:01:47,120
Speaker 3: He is great right now.

42
00:01:47,200 --> 00:01:49,760
Speaker 2: And so that's all coming up later on the show.

43
00:01:50,280 --> 00:01:53,320
Speaker 1: But it kind of is overshadowed by the fact that

44
00:01:53,960 --> 00:01:57,240
Speaker 1: Nick shook and his face lit up like a seven

45
00:01:57,280 --> 00:01:59,840
Speaker 1: year old girl when he heard that Martha Stewart was

46
00:02:00,120 --> 00:02:01,640
Speaker 1: and by a little earlier, I didn't know you were

47
00:02:01,680 --> 00:02:02,400
Speaker 1: such a Stewart guy.

48
00:02:02,440 --> 00:02:04,040
Speaker 3: Well, I just missed her. She's a legend, you know,

49
00:02:04,240 --> 00:02:05,280
Speaker 3: in a number of different.

50
00:02:05,040 --> 00:02:09,400
Speaker 4: Ways, the symbol of you know, strengthened women and charting

51
00:02:09,400 --> 00:02:11,600
Speaker 4: their own path and she's done it all and I

52
00:02:11,600 --> 00:02:13,280
Speaker 4: would just love to have met her.

53
00:02:13,440 --> 00:02:17,440
Speaker 5: Okay, I got to see her and in all her glory, yes,

54
00:02:17,480 --> 00:02:21,080
Speaker 5: and wow, you just never forget your first time seeing

55
00:02:21,080 --> 00:02:21,960
Speaker 5: Martha Stewart in person.

56
00:02:22,600 --> 00:02:23,200
Speaker 3: I can't relate.

57
00:02:23,320 --> 00:02:24,480
Speaker 2: You just also never know.

58
00:02:24,720 --> 00:02:27,560
Speaker 1: Like I would not have guessed Shook was a big stehead,

59
00:02:28,000 --> 00:02:32,880
Speaker 1: but he is. And we all have different sorts of fandoms. Jordan,

60
00:02:33,160 --> 00:02:37,760
Speaker 1: she's a Matthew Stafford woman, and so she I don't

61
00:02:37,760 --> 00:02:39,560
Speaker 1: know if it like broke her heart or anything that

62
00:02:39,600 --> 00:02:42,160
Speaker 1: the Rams lost. Ultimately, she's a professional. She's going to

63
00:02:42,240 --> 00:02:45,480
Speaker 1: cover the teams. It's all, you know, It's all great stories.

64
00:02:45,680 --> 00:02:47,679
Speaker 1: But I think she would have been a little heartbroken

65
00:02:47,760 --> 00:02:50,600
Speaker 1: if Matthew Stafford had not won MVP, and he did

66
00:02:51,000 --> 00:02:54,880
Speaker 1: by the slimmest of margins, just in terms of first

67
00:02:54,919 --> 00:02:58,200
Speaker 1: place votes. He got twenty four, Drake May got twenty three,

68
00:02:58,800 --> 00:03:01,160
Speaker 1: Josh Allen got to, Justin her got one, so like

69
00:03:01,320 --> 00:03:04,960
Speaker 1: less than half the voters even had Stafford first. It

70
00:03:05,000 --> 00:03:09,600
Speaker 1: was the closest since Steve McNair and Peyton Manning tied.

71
00:03:09,919 --> 00:03:11,680
Speaker 2: They were only five points apart.

72
00:03:11,680 --> 00:03:14,440
Speaker 1: Because now you know, vote one through five so if

73
00:03:14,600 --> 00:03:19,040
Speaker 1: literally one person had flipped their vote, then then Drake

74
00:03:19,080 --> 00:03:21,960
Speaker 1: maywins by five. Even if you had switched, like switched

75
00:03:21,960 --> 00:03:24,040
Speaker 1: like a second or a third like that could have

76
00:03:24,080 --> 00:03:24,400
Speaker 1: done it.

77
00:03:24,400 --> 00:03:27,720
Speaker 2: It was that close. Every vote mattered.

78
00:03:28,200 --> 00:03:31,560
Speaker 1: Let's listen to the Probably the second biggest news with

79
00:03:31,720 --> 00:03:34,600
Speaker 1: the MVP is that Stafford also confirmed his plans for

80
00:03:34,639 --> 00:03:36,600
Speaker 1: twenty twenty six hit it.

81
00:03:37,160 --> 00:03:40,040
Speaker 7: I am so happy to have you at the games

82
00:03:40,040 --> 00:03:41,600
Speaker 7: on the sideline with me, and I can't wait for

83
00:03:41,640 --> 00:03:43,400
Speaker 7: you to cheer me on next year when we're out

84
00:03:43,400 --> 00:03:44,120
Speaker 7: there kicking ass.

85
00:03:44,840 --> 00:03:48,480
Speaker 6: And so I'll see you guys next year.

86
00:03:48,560 --> 00:03:51,280
Speaker 7: Hopefully I'm not at this event and we're getting ready

87
00:03:51,280 --> 00:03:51,760
Speaker 7: for another game.

88
00:03:51,760 --> 00:03:53,600
Speaker 8: Is so far, so I appreciate you guys. Thank you

89
00:03:53,680 --> 00:03:54,040
Speaker 8: very much.

90
00:03:54,520 --> 00:03:57,720
Speaker 1: What a way to announce your coming back, and what

91
00:03:57,800 --> 00:03:59,880
Speaker 1: a way to put a little pressure on that RAM

92
00:04:00,040 --> 00:04:02,800
Speaker 1: front office. I said, I'm coming back. You better get

93
00:04:02,800 --> 00:04:04,240
Speaker 1: that money right for me in the meantime.

94
00:04:04,400 --> 00:04:08,280
Speaker 5: Yes, because famously last year they renewed what les sneed

95
00:04:08,360 --> 00:04:10,280
Speaker 5: the GM of the RAMS likes to call their wedding

96
00:04:10,360 --> 00:04:13,720
Speaker 5: vows right, this was a year to year situation. They

97
00:04:13,720 --> 00:04:16,719
Speaker 5: made it incredibly clear that Matthew Stafford was going to

98
00:04:16,760 --> 00:04:19,159
Speaker 5: have this conversation with them every year he still wants

99
00:04:19,200 --> 00:04:20,960
Speaker 5: to play football, because as long as he wants to

100
00:04:21,000 --> 00:04:23,120
Speaker 5: play football, they'd like for him to be in LA

101
00:04:23,240 --> 00:04:28,359
Speaker 5: RAM Now dramatically underpaid this season, yeah, ir relative to

102
00:04:28,400 --> 00:04:30,280
Speaker 5: what he should be making, and he knows that. And

103
00:04:30,320 --> 00:04:32,680
Speaker 5: I love what you said about that being a very

104
00:04:32,800 --> 00:04:35,440
Speaker 5: very slick move to do, of course, and the biggest

105
00:04:35,440 --> 00:04:38,279
Speaker 5: of the highest honor and most Valuable Player award and

106
00:04:38,360 --> 00:04:41,039
Speaker 5: on the stage basically saying, all right, your move.

107
00:04:41,120 --> 00:04:43,960
Speaker 1: I don't want that to overshadow I almost a giving

108
00:04:44,000 --> 00:04:46,760
Speaker 1: myself notes in my head that I'm almost painting it

109
00:04:46,800 --> 00:04:49,240
Speaker 1: as like a look forward financial thing. It's a great

110
00:04:49,279 --> 00:04:52,520
Speaker 1: moment because as much as less needs said that going

111
00:04:52,560 --> 00:04:54,560
Speaker 1: into the year, this is the best season of Matthew

112
00:04:54,560 --> 00:04:57,919
Speaker 1: Stafford's career by a decent amount. Obviously he won a

113
00:04:57,960 --> 00:05:00,320
Speaker 1: Super Bowl, but in terms of a regular season, his

114
00:05:00,400 --> 00:05:03,760
Speaker 1: level of play was higher than it's ever been. And

115
00:05:03,839 --> 00:05:07,560
Speaker 1: I know you were happy, Jordan that he gets rewarded

116
00:05:07,600 --> 00:05:09,720
Speaker 1: for and it's gonna like help change his Hall of

117
00:05:09,720 --> 00:05:13,520
Speaker 1: Fame candidacy. I think eventually it's really a season that's

118
00:05:13,560 --> 00:05:15,520
Speaker 1: kind of changed the trajectory of his career.

119
00:05:15,640 --> 00:05:18,080
Speaker 5: Yeah, it was really interesting this year, and I know

120
00:05:18,080 --> 00:05:19,520
Speaker 5: you picked up on it two because we talked to

121
00:05:19,600 --> 00:05:21,120
Speaker 5: each other about it a couple of times, Nick, But

122
00:05:21,320 --> 00:05:23,919
Speaker 5: it was like Sean McVay also started coming out and

123
00:05:23,960 --> 00:05:27,200
Speaker 5: talking about using the words gold Jacket a little bit

124
00:05:27,240 --> 00:05:30,799
Speaker 5: more than especially when they had had that conversation last

125
00:05:30,839 --> 00:05:34,200
Speaker 5: year at the end of February to where Matthew Stafford

126
00:05:34,240 --> 00:05:36,800
Speaker 5: decided that he was going to not only return, but

127
00:05:36,920 --> 00:05:40,520
Speaker 5: to return as a Los Angeles RAM at that discounted contract.

128
00:05:40,920 --> 00:05:43,680
Speaker 5: Sean McVay really started pushing harder than I think i've

129
00:05:43,720 --> 00:05:47,359
Speaker 5: seen him ever do for a player about just publicly

130
00:05:47,360 --> 00:05:50,360
Speaker 5: commenting about the gold Jacket and publicly commenting about how

131
00:05:50,360 --> 00:05:52,760
Speaker 5: he should be MVP, And it was something that constantly

132
00:05:52,800 --> 00:05:55,159
Speaker 5: came up over the course of the season. When I

133
00:05:55,200 --> 00:05:59,400
Speaker 5: think about watching Matthew Stafford play, I actually think more

134
00:05:59,400 --> 00:06:00,240
Speaker 5: about watching.

135
00:06:00,080 --> 00:06:02,039
Speaker 3: Him practice then I think about.

136
00:06:02,200 --> 00:06:07,080
Speaker 5: Watching him actually play on game days, because you just

137
00:06:07,120 --> 00:06:09,520
Speaker 5: don't see people throw the ball the way that he

138
00:06:09,560 --> 00:06:12,480
Speaker 5: throws the ball. And you know, that's the reason why

139
00:06:12,560 --> 00:06:14,560
Speaker 5: I am a Matthew Stafford fan. It's why I've been

140
00:06:14,560 --> 00:06:18,120
Speaker 5: pushing for him to win MVP since about mid season.

141
00:06:18,279 --> 00:06:20,120
Speaker 5: I wrote a column about it at The Athletic Like,

142
00:06:20,440 --> 00:06:23,839
Speaker 5: because it's that much of an understood thing in my

143
00:06:23,960 --> 00:06:27,400
Speaker 5: mind that somebody who is that excellent every day and

144
00:06:27,440 --> 00:06:30,720
Speaker 5: makes everyone around him more excellent by being around, by

145
00:06:30,720 --> 00:06:33,400
Speaker 5: being at the peak of his powers the way he is.

146
00:06:33,960 --> 00:06:36,960
Speaker 5: It's just something that you can't describe unless you can

147
00:06:37,000 --> 00:06:37,600
Speaker 5: see it in person.

148
00:06:37,720 --> 00:06:39,840
Speaker 4: Yeah, and let's think about, you know, the story as

149
00:06:39,839 --> 00:06:42,680
Speaker 4: a whole, starting last offseason, you know, the dalliance with

150
00:06:42,720 --> 00:06:45,479
Speaker 4: the Raiders, the idea that this could have been the

151
00:06:45,600 --> 00:06:48,039
Speaker 4: end of Matthew Stafford and the Rams, and then the

152
00:06:48,080 --> 00:06:51,080
Speaker 4: back injury that convinced a lot of us like he

153
00:06:51,160 --> 00:06:52,680
Speaker 4: might now be on the field for a long time.

154
00:06:52,880 --> 00:06:55,080
Speaker 4: He goes out and has an MVP season. First, you

155
00:06:55,080 --> 00:06:57,520
Speaker 4: could say caliber. Now it is officially an MVP season.

156
00:06:57,520 --> 00:06:58,040
Speaker 3: He comes this.

157
00:06:58,040 --> 00:07:00,240
Speaker 4: Close to getting the Rams to the super Bowl, And

158
00:07:00,279 --> 00:07:01,880
Speaker 4: if you just look at it in just the one

159
00:07:02,000 --> 00:07:05,400
Speaker 4: year capsule, it's a great story. But then you push

160
00:07:05,440 --> 00:07:07,360
Speaker 4: it forward to the next year and you think how

161
00:07:07,360 --> 00:07:09,760
Speaker 4: close they were this year, how tough their division is,

162
00:07:10,200 --> 00:07:12,120
Speaker 4: and the fact that he knew that the Super Bowl

163
00:07:12,160 --> 00:07:14,080
Speaker 4: is back at Sofi Stadium next year. That tells you

164
00:07:14,080 --> 00:07:16,000
Speaker 4: everything you need to know about him thinking.

165
00:07:15,760 --> 00:07:18,280
Speaker 1: Ahead, Yeah, that's a good call, and obviously it's going

166
00:07:18,320 --> 00:07:20,360
Speaker 1: to be difficult to repeat that because he's played a

167
00:07:20,400 --> 00:07:21,880
Speaker 1: lot of seasons. He's never had a season like this.

168
00:07:22,120 --> 00:07:25,880
Speaker 1: He's never been as consistent a player. I thinks as

169
00:07:26,120 --> 00:07:28,600
Speaker 1: his biggest fans, even in Detroit would want to say,

170
00:07:28,600 --> 00:07:30,600
Speaker 1: and they watched it happen, and it's why I don't

171
00:07:30,640 --> 00:07:33,120
Speaker 1: think I was talking before that. I don't even think

172
00:07:33,120 --> 00:07:34,760
Speaker 1: he's still a lock for the Hall of Fame. But

173
00:07:35,120 --> 00:07:35,920
Speaker 1: it's going to happen.

174
00:07:36,000 --> 00:07:36,280
Speaker 8: Now.

175
00:07:36,520 --> 00:07:38,040
Speaker 2: I think it'll happen eventually.

176
00:07:38,080 --> 00:07:40,200
Speaker 1: It's very difficult to make the Hall of Fame because

177
00:07:40,200 --> 00:07:43,640
Speaker 1: before this, if you went through his career and you

178
00:07:43,720 --> 00:07:45,520
Speaker 1: try to figure out how many seasons was he at

179
00:07:45,560 --> 00:07:48,320
Speaker 1: top five quarterback, it'd be really hard to argue more

180
00:07:48,360 --> 00:07:51,720
Speaker 1: than two or three, it really would.

181
00:07:51,840 --> 00:07:52,800
Speaker 2: Now here's another one.

182
00:07:52,920 --> 00:07:55,440
Speaker 1: He's the only quarterback to ever win a Super Bowl

183
00:07:55,440 --> 00:07:57,680
Speaker 1: and an MVP after the age of thirty four, so.

184
00:07:57,640 --> 00:07:58,559
Speaker 2: The end of his career.

185
00:07:58,720 --> 00:08:02,000
Speaker 1: It reminds me, in an even more spectacular way of

186
00:08:02,080 --> 00:08:04,920
Speaker 1: Kurt Warner's Arizona Run. Kurt Warner would not have made

187
00:08:04,920 --> 00:08:07,520
Speaker 1: the Hall of Fame without the Arizona Run. Like it

188
00:08:07,640 --> 00:08:09,640
Speaker 1: just wouldn't have happened, and no one expected that to

189
00:08:09,640 --> 00:08:12,280
Speaker 1: happen when it did. And I think now Stafford, because

190
00:08:12,280 --> 00:08:14,600
Speaker 1: of this, it'll happen. But it's difficult. Like Eli Manning,

191
00:08:14,640 --> 00:08:16,760
Speaker 1: We're gonna get to it. He wasn't even close to him.

192
00:08:16,760 --> 00:08:18,320
Speaker 1: I mean, he was a finalist, but he was as

193
00:08:18,360 --> 00:08:21,680
Speaker 1: far away among the finalists to get in and guys,

194
00:08:21,800 --> 00:08:23,560
Speaker 1: guys have to wait. Guy like Kurt Warner, I had

195
00:08:23,600 --> 00:08:26,200
Speaker 1: to wait, you know, however many years. So this is

196
00:08:26,200 --> 00:08:27,840
Speaker 1: gonna change how he thinks. And it's it's such a

197
00:08:27,880 --> 00:08:31,560
Speaker 1: strange thing that it's so binary because do you remember

198
00:08:31,640 --> 00:08:34,079
Speaker 1: who came in second in the Matt Ryan year for instance,

199
00:08:34,160 --> 00:08:38,440
Speaker 1: Like winning the MVP is like it's all or nothing.

200
00:08:38,480 --> 00:08:42,480
Speaker 1: It sort of doesn't matter that Drake May was was

201
00:08:42,679 --> 00:08:44,960
Speaker 1: a single vote away, right, you know what I mean,

202
00:08:45,240 --> 00:08:46,439
Speaker 1: Like he'll never be the MVP.

203
00:08:47,520 --> 00:08:49,400
Speaker 2: Maybe he will be, maybe he'll figure it out. I

204
00:08:50,920 --> 00:08:51,600
Speaker 2: mean he could.

205
00:08:51,640 --> 00:08:53,400
Speaker 1: I'm saying that he'll never be the twenty twenty five

206
00:08:53,559 --> 00:08:57,160
Speaker 1: MVP exactly. And it really comes down to literally all

207
00:08:57,240 --> 00:09:00,719
Speaker 1: fifty votes. So you can name any single person that

208
00:09:00,800 --> 00:09:05,360
Speaker 1: put Stafford over May. If one of them flips, May

209
00:09:05,440 --> 00:09:08,320
Speaker 1: wins the award, and and they're now not letting us

210
00:09:08,360 --> 00:09:11,240
Speaker 1: see like the fourth place votes, the fifth place votes.

211
00:09:11,280 --> 00:09:13,520
Speaker 1: They're actually limiting some of the information that we used

212
00:09:13,559 --> 00:09:15,800
Speaker 1: to get. We're only seeing the top five vote getters

213
00:09:15,800 --> 00:09:18,200
Speaker 1: instead of further down, so you can't parse it, but

214
00:09:18,240 --> 00:09:21,320
Speaker 1: you can parse it that much. That just one person

215
00:09:21,400 --> 00:09:24,680
Speaker 1: changing their mind then, and yet like that that's his thing.

216
00:09:24,760 --> 00:09:25,839
Speaker 2: He is the MVP forever.

217
00:09:25,920 --> 00:09:27,560
Speaker 4: Yeah, but I pushed back against that a little bit

218
00:09:27,559 --> 00:09:30,199
Speaker 4: because matt Ryan was like the runaway clear NB three

219
00:09:30,280 --> 00:09:32,800
Speaker 4: in that season. Yeah, there have been closer races that

220
00:09:32,840 --> 00:09:34,280
Speaker 4: you could probably go back and think, all right, I

221
00:09:34,320 --> 00:09:36,120
Speaker 4: remember who finished second. I think when people look at

222
00:09:36,120 --> 00:09:39,160
Speaker 4: the Matthew Stafford MVP season at twenty twenty five, they will.

223
00:09:38,960 --> 00:09:41,760
Speaker 2: Think not ye I don't think so, because Drake.

224
00:09:41,600 --> 00:09:43,720
Speaker 3: May ended up in the super Bowl. So that's going

225
00:09:43,760 --> 00:09:45,040
Speaker 3: to keep it in the consciousness.

226
00:09:45,080 --> 00:09:45,320
Speaker 8: True.

227
00:09:45,640 --> 00:09:48,080
Speaker 1: I mean, coming in second in MVP is also something

228
00:09:48,080 --> 00:09:49,600
Speaker 1: that's a feather in your cap when you're talking about

229
00:09:49,600 --> 00:09:51,560
Speaker 1: stuff like this. Yeah, I want to take some heat

230
00:09:51,559 --> 00:09:56,200
Speaker 1: off our guy, Sam Monson of PFF, who was not

231
00:09:56,240 --> 00:09:59,120
Speaker 1: a popular man after he voted justin Herbert first. Josh

232
00:09:59,200 --> 00:10:02,439
Speaker 1: Allen also got two first place votes. Personally, I think

233
00:10:02,679 --> 00:10:05,160
Speaker 1: that was I would have had Herbert ahead of Josh Allen.

234
00:10:05,240 --> 00:10:06,520
Speaker 2: We did, in fact on this show.

235
00:10:08,720 --> 00:10:13,240
Speaker 1: I think we should have diverse like opinions and interpret

236
00:10:13,320 --> 00:10:14,400
Speaker 1: these things differently.

237
00:10:14,960 --> 00:10:16,280
Speaker 2: It's just a beauty contest.

238
00:10:16,600 --> 00:10:19,440
Speaker 1: The Patriots fans who were so mad that Stafford got this, like,

239
00:10:19,800 --> 00:10:22,959
Speaker 1: give me a break. There was so little separating these

240
00:10:23,000 --> 00:10:26,560
Speaker 1: two this season. It was just interpretation, and the votes

241
00:10:26,559 --> 00:10:28,360
Speaker 1: showed that. Like, the votes kind of showed how close

242
00:10:28,400 --> 00:10:32,240
Speaker 1: they were, and like, I think it's fine to have

243
00:10:32,320 --> 00:10:35,200
Speaker 1: voted Justin Herbert and people blaming him for it. It's like, no,

244
00:10:35,559 --> 00:10:40,839
Speaker 1: literally every single person that had Stafford over May you

245
00:10:40,840 --> 00:10:42,720
Speaker 1: could flip their vote too, so it's not about him.

246
00:10:42,760 --> 00:10:44,400
Speaker 2: I did do some reporting.

247
00:10:44,000 --> 00:10:46,280
Speaker 1: Though, and I found out his top five he did

248
00:10:46,280 --> 00:10:50,080
Speaker 1: have Stafford second, May third. For what it's it's funny

249
00:10:50,120 --> 00:10:52,400
Speaker 1: because but if those had flipped, that wouldn't have changed those.

250
00:10:52,600 --> 00:10:54,880
Speaker 4: So I did Vancouver Radio this morning and they brought

251
00:10:54,920 --> 00:10:56,800
Speaker 4: that up, and they didn't tell me that it was

252
00:10:56,840 --> 00:10:59,679
Speaker 4: same at the time, and they said one guy voted

253
00:10:59,720 --> 00:11:01,439
Speaker 4: for just In Herbert first, and I said, well, without

254
00:11:01,440 --> 00:11:03,520
Speaker 4: knowing the identity, there was one person who had a

255
00:11:03,600 --> 00:11:04,880
Speaker 4: vote I know he doesn't have a vote, but if

256
00:11:04,880 --> 00:11:06,320
Speaker 4: there was one person this plant who I thought would

257
00:11:06,360 --> 00:11:08,760
Speaker 4: vote Justin Herbert for MVP would be Greg Rosenbob, thank

258
00:11:08,800 --> 00:11:11,640
Speaker 4: you because you appreciate what Justin Herbert did this season,

259
00:11:11,640 --> 00:11:14,040
Speaker 4: playing through the broken hand, playing behind a terrible offensive line,

260
00:11:14,280 --> 00:11:16,600
Speaker 4: willing the Chargers to victories, leading them and rushing in

261
00:11:16,679 --> 00:11:17,959
Speaker 4: multiple instances that.

262
00:11:17,960 --> 00:11:20,160
Speaker 1: Said I would have had him. In fact, we did

263
00:11:20,160 --> 00:11:21,400
Speaker 1: it on the show, but now I can't remember. I

264
00:11:21,440 --> 00:11:24,520
Speaker 1: think I had him third, or maybe CMC was in

265
00:11:24,520 --> 00:11:26,960
Speaker 1: that mix as well, but Josh Allen comes in third.

266
00:11:27,160 --> 00:11:32,760
Speaker 1: CMC came in fourth. I believe for MVP, Herbert actually

267
00:11:32,800 --> 00:11:36,080
Speaker 1: was not in the top five, even though he got

268
00:11:36,080 --> 00:11:38,880
Speaker 1: that one first place vote. But just to explain too

269
00:11:38,880 --> 00:11:41,360
Speaker 1: for the listeners, some people were like, I can't believe

270
00:11:41,360 --> 00:11:43,719
Speaker 1: this guy got voted last because he was a finalist,

271
00:11:44,000 --> 00:11:46,160
Speaker 1: and like Monson wrote him in, That's not how it works.

272
00:11:46,200 --> 00:11:48,640
Speaker 1: Every single vote is a write in vote, but they

273
00:11:48,720 --> 00:11:51,360
Speaker 1: just tell you who the top five vote getters were.

274
00:11:51,760 --> 00:11:54,760
Speaker 1: And so Trevor Lawrence, who came in fifth, didn't have

275
00:11:54,800 --> 00:11:56,600
Speaker 1: any first place votes, but he did come in fifth.

276
00:11:56,720 --> 00:11:59,680
Speaker 1: He was technically a finalist. Anyways, he's coming back. Great

277
00:11:59,720 --> 00:12:02,160
Speaker 1: news obviously for Stafford. Let's fly through some of the

278
00:12:02,160 --> 00:12:06,440
Speaker 1: other awards. Miles Garrett only the second unanimous Defensive Player

279
00:12:06,559 --> 00:12:09,640
Speaker 1: of the Year in history. Can you guess who the

280
00:12:09,679 --> 00:12:12,920
Speaker 1: other one was? JJ Watt, Yeah, twenty fourteen best Defensive.

281
00:12:12,960 --> 00:12:15,760
Speaker 1: That was when I realized defensive players will never win MVP. Yeah,

282
00:12:15,800 --> 00:12:17,440
Speaker 1: because like I was, like, if he can't win MVP

283
00:12:17,559 --> 00:12:18,800
Speaker 1: that year, it'll never happen.

284
00:12:18,920 --> 00:12:19,559
Speaker 8: Yeah.

285
00:12:19,600 --> 00:12:22,719
Speaker 1: He is one of only a handful of players to

286
00:12:22,800 --> 00:12:26,560
Speaker 1: have win won the award twice. Here it is JJ Watt,

287
00:12:26,960 --> 00:12:29,840
Speaker 1: Aaron Donald, Lawrence Taylor. They're the only ones who've gotten

288
00:12:29,880 --> 00:12:32,280
Speaker 1: it three times. And then me and Joe Green, Mike

289
00:12:32,400 --> 00:12:37,640
Speaker 1: Singletarry Bruce Smith, Reggie White at as a hell of

290
00:12:37,679 --> 00:12:42,520
Speaker 1: a list for Miles Garrett to be joining, something to

291
00:12:42,559 --> 00:12:43,760
Speaker 1: be proud of as a Browns.

292
00:12:44,360 --> 00:12:46,120
Speaker 4: I mean, as soon as he sent the Sack record,

293
00:12:46,160 --> 00:12:47,800
Speaker 4: I felt like it was the slam dunk and the

294
00:12:47,840 --> 00:12:50,199
Speaker 4: only thing that the only question that remained was wasn't unanimous.

295
00:12:50,200 --> 00:12:52,360
Speaker 3: So I was happy to hear that it was unanimous.

296
00:12:51,920 --> 00:12:53,920
Speaker 4: That we could all get along and agree that in

297
00:12:53,960 --> 00:12:56,920
Speaker 4: a season in which there wasn't really a strong second candidate,

298
00:12:57,200 --> 00:13:00,040
Speaker 4: the guy who reset the sack record rightfully.

299
00:12:59,760 --> 00:13:04,959
Speaker 1: Is like Will and Anderson was a distant, distant second there.

300
00:13:05,000 --> 00:13:06,880
Speaker 1: And then Michael Parsons actually came in third, which show

301
00:13:06,880 --> 00:13:10,160
Speaker 1: was so good he was despite missing those I think

302
00:13:10,200 --> 00:13:11,800
Speaker 1: it was just like not a great year for Canada's

303
00:13:12,679 --> 00:13:15,960
Speaker 1: Offensive Player of the Year was really split up. JSN

304
00:13:16,000 --> 00:13:19,080
Speaker 1: wins it, Jackson Smith and Jigba. He comes in first.

305
00:13:19,480 --> 00:13:22,360
Speaker 1: Christian McCaffrey, I'm a little surprised, got twelve first place votes,

306
00:13:22,760 --> 00:13:26,640
Speaker 1: just behind in second. Pooka Akua with the best third

307
00:13:26,679 --> 00:13:29,720
Speaker 1: place Offensive Player of the Year candidacy you ever wanted

308
00:13:29,760 --> 00:13:32,120
Speaker 1: to see, came in third eight plate first place votes,

309
00:13:32,200 --> 00:13:35,200
Speaker 1: and but John Robinson actually got six first place votes,

310
00:13:35,240 --> 00:13:37,400
Speaker 1: so that was really spread out. Even the first place

311
00:13:37,720 --> 00:13:41,280
Speaker 1: winner JSN only got fourteen of the fifty and so

312
00:13:41,400 --> 00:13:44,000
Speaker 1: a really great group of guys. CMC also did win

313
00:13:44,200 --> 00:13:48,120
Speaker 1: the Comeback Player of the Year vote, and so I

314
00:13:48,120 --> 00:13:51,440
Speaker 1: don't know if you feel bad for your guy Pooka Jordan,

315
00:13:51,640 --> 00:13:53,040
Speaker 1: but I think this was the right choice.

316
00:13:53,200 --> 00:13:53,600
Speaker 2: I don't.

317
00:13:54,559 --> 00:13:56,240
Speaker 1: I'm not saying like it should be it should be

318
00:13:56,280 --> 00:13:59,720
Speaker 1: like a win, like it's a team stat but ultimately

319
00:13:59,760 --> 00:14:02,480
Speaker 1: Jack Smith and Jigba was that excellent?

320
00:14:02,520 --> 00:14:03,600
Speaker 2: You give him, you give him a little.

321
00:14:03,600 --> 00:14:06,000
Speaker 4: I do feel like if if the Falcons were better,

322
00:14:06,080 --> 00:14:08,120
Speaker 4: Vijeon would have gotten more attention with.

323
00:14:08,160 --> 00:14:10,400
Speaker 5: All Yeah, I mean if the Falcons were what their

324
00:14:10,480 --> 00:14:13,319
Speaker 5: roster looked like they could be, yes, then yeah, because

325
00:14:13,360 --> 00:14:15,559
Speaker 5: he lives up to that. I think that would have.

326
00:14:15,760 --> 00:14:18,080
Speaker 1: Eric's laughing at me over here for saying and asking

327
00:14:18,120 --> 00:14:21,240
Speaker 1: if you feel bad and what I guess.

328
00:14:20,400 --> 00:14:24,160
Speaker 5: You should be asking your son. I have no affiliation you.

329
00:14:24,160 --> 00:14:26,800
Speaker 5: Your son is the one who was the fan.

330
00:14:27,280 --> 00:14:30,280
Speaker 1: My daughter and no, I think I think they lost

331
00:14:30,360 --> 00:14:33,920
Speaker 1: him on the whole. Uh you know, yeah stream a

332
00:14:33,920 --> 00:14:34,400
Speaker 1: lot of people.

333
00:14:34,520 --> 00:14:34,760
Speaker 5: Yeah.

334
00:14:34,920 --> 00:14:37,960
Speaker 1: Offensive Rookie of the Year Tedoe McMillan. The only surprise

335
00:14:38,080 --> 00:14:40,600
Speaker 1: is that it wasn't close. Tyler Schuck does come in second.

336
00:14:40,880 --> 00:14:42,880
Speaker 1: He wins the Diet Pepsi Award, which is more of

337
00:14:42,920 --> 00:14:46,600
Speaker 1: like a fan thing. Traveon Henderson got a first place

338
00:14:46,720 --> 00:14:49,400
Speaker 1: vote that I don't like that like that, Yeah, I don't.

339
00:14:49,480 --> 00:14:50,920
Speaker 1: I don't love that one. But it wasn't It was

340
00:14:50,920 --> 00:14:51,360
Speaker 1: a weird thing.

341
00:14:51,440 --> 00:14:52,320
Speaker 8: It was a very weird group.

342
00:14:52,440 --> 00:14:56,520
Speaker 1: Jackson Dark comes in fourth, a Mecca Abuka comes in fifty.

343
00:14:57,480 --> 00:14:59,240
Speaker 3: Talk about somebody who was gonna run away.

344
00:14:59,480 --> 00:15:03,520
Speaker 1: You know, his stats and and T Max were so similar.

345
00:15:03,720 --> 00:15:05,560
Speaker 1: And it just comes down to in those final two

346
00:15:05,600 --> 00:15:07,960
Speaker 1: games they played against each other that everyone's watching, like

347
00:15:08,240 --> 00:15:10,600
Speaker 1: t Mac was bigger factor and the Panthers win.

348
00:15:10,600 --> 00:15:12,520
Speaker 3: When I got hurt, he was never quite the same,

349
00:15:12,560 --> 00:15:13,560
Speaker 3: but yeah.

350
00:15:13,520 --> 00:15:15,400
Speaker 2: Then he was.

351
00:15:17,640 --> 00:15:20,680
Speaker 1: It was supposed to be a great offensive rookie class.

352
00:15:20,920 --> 00:15:22,720
Speaker 2: I think it turned into a good one.

353
00:15:22,880 --> 00:15:25,960
Speaker 1: It was deep and if he actually went through like

354
00:15:26,560 --> 00:15:28,880
Speaker 1: all the voting, you would see like six through ten

355
00:15:28,920 --> 00:15:29,800
Speaker 1: where good players too.

356
00:15:30,120 --> 00:15:30,600
Speaker 2: And yet the.

357
00:15:30,560 --> 00:15:34,040
Speaker 1: Associated Press, for some reason, they're not letting us look

358
00:15:34,040 --> 00:15:35,480
Speaker 1: at all the votes. I want to see on Pro

359
00:15:35,480 --> 00:15:39,320
Speaker 1: Football Reference that a certain quarterback or whatever came.

360
00:15:39,160 --> 00:15:41,920
Speaker 3: In eight O poy dash nine.

361
00:15:41,880 --> 00:15:44,480
Speaker 1: Right, stuff like that, because it gives you just a

362
00:15:44,600 --> 00:15:47,720
Speaker 1: larger you know, context, we hit there are information is there?

363
00:15:47,760 --> 00:15:49,720
Speaker 2: So I'm I'm going to write a strongly worded letter.

364
00:15:49,720 --> 00:15:51,440
Speaker 2: I'm not even joking. Let's get to.

365
00:15:52,280 --> 00:15:54,560
Speaker 3: I do believe that he will do that NFL Daily.

366
00:15:54,640 --> 00:15:55,560
Speaker 2: It's gonna be an email.

367
00:15:56,120 --> 00:15:59,440
Speaker 1: Defensive Rookie of the Year Cartson Schwussendiger, No surprise.

368
00:15:59,160 --> 00:16:02,400
Speaker 5: There another they're excellent Brown's defensive player.

369
00:16:02,560 --> 00:16:03,080
Speaker 2: How about that?

370
00:16:03,200 --> 00:16:05,560
Speaker 4: Yes, who had a great year in Jim Schwartz's defense,

371
00:16:05,560 --> 00:16:07,320
Speaker 4: and now we'll have to figure out a new defensive scheme.

372
00:16:07,320 --> 00:16:08,520
Speaker 3: But yes, he was fantastic.

373
00:16:09,120 --> 00:16:11,400
Speaker 4: A pick at thirty third overall, that's shocked everybody at

374
00:16:11,400 --> 00:16:14,200
Speaker 4: the time. I remember DJ's initial analysis was, this is

375
00:16:14,240 --> 00:16:16,480
Speaker 4: them choosing the best remaining linebacker because it falls off

376
00:16:16,520 --> 00:16:18,280
Speaker 4: a cliff after this. I don't think anybody expected him

377
00:16:18,280 --> 00:16:19,400
Speaker 4: to come in and have the defensive Rookie of the

378
00:16:19,440 --> 00:16:21,160
Speaker 4: year season he had, But if you watched the tape,

379
00:16:21,280 --> 00:16:21,800
Speaker 4: you can't.

380
00:16:21,680 --> 00:16:22,080
Speaker 8: Argue with it.

381
00:16:22,200 --> 00:16:22,440
Speaker 2: Yeah.

382
00:16:22,480 --> 00:16:24,640
Speaker 5: I know two teams that had a late first round

383
00:16:24,640 --> 00:16:26,520
Speaker 5: grade on him too, So I think there are a

384
00:16:26,560 --> 00:16:28,360
Speaker 5: lot of people that were trying to keep how good

385
00:16:28,400 --> 00:16:30,600
Speaker 5: they thought he could beach very very quiet.

386
00:16:30,720 --> 00:16:33,840
Speaker 1: Wait, yeah, you mentioned Schwartz going, even though the Hall

387
00:16:33,880 --> 00:16:35,960
Speaker 1: of Fame news is bigger, I want to give that

388
00:16:36,160 --> 00:16:39,840
Speaker 1: some time just since it's a topical. Yeah, we just

389
00:16:39,880 --> 00:16:44,880
Speaker 1: talked about the Browns and their defensive players. Schwartz resigns

390
00:16:46,880 --> 00:16:51,240
Speaker 1: weirdly worded. It took like a week. Some people thinking

391
00:16:51,320 --> 00:16:54,040
Speaker 1: maybe they're going to just back up the truck and

392
00:16:54,160 --> 00:16:57,160
Speaker 1: convince Schwartz to stay. But then Todd Monkin and his

393
00:16:58,240 --> 00:17:01,560
Speaker 1: opening press conference, which we didn't have a chance because

394
00:17:01,560 --> 00:17:03,960
Speaker 1: it was this week to really dive into point it out. Hey,

395
00:17:04,000 --> 00:17:08,000
Speaker 1: it wasn't. It wasn't Jim Schwartz. All those defenders were chipping.

396
00:17:08,119 --> 00:17:10,120
Speaker 1: It was Miles Garrett. And I was like, oh, oh,

397
00:17:10,480 --> 00:17:13,199
Speaker 1: this is what Tod is. I get what he meant, like,

398
00:17:13,280 --> 00:17:16,800
Speaker 1: we get to keep Miles Garrett. But that told me, uh, yeah,

399
00:17:16,880 --> 00:17:20,680
Speaker 1: Jim Schwartz probably isn't gonna stay. There aren't many open

400
00:17:20,760 --> 00:17:24,119
Speaker 1: jobs right now for Jim Schwartz, so it's kind of

401
00:17:24,160 --> 00:17:27,119
Speaker 1: a ballsy move to be like, no, I will pass

402
00:17:27,160 --> 00:17:29,359
Speaker 1: on your million, millions of dollars because he's not gonna

403
00:17:29,400 --> 00:17:32,760
Speaker 1: make that money unless he gets another job. But then

404
00:17:32,760 --> 00:17:36,000
Speaker 1: they have to maybe figure out trade compensation because they're

405
00:17:36,000 --> 00:17:37,280
Speaker 1: gonna hold on to his rights.

406
00:17:37,320 --> 00:17:39,960
Speaker 3: It's it's gnarly, yeah, but this is what pride does sometimes.

407
00:17:39,960 --> 00:17:41,600
Speaker 4: And when you miss out as one of the finalists

408
00:17:41,600 --> 00:17:43,359
Speaker 4: on a head coaching job and you kind of erupt

409
00:17:43,359 --> 00:17:45,640
Speaker 4: emotionally in the building and tell everybody you're out of here,

410
00:17:45,680 --> 00:17:47,840
Speaker 4: You're not coming back, I understand why you would decide

411
00:17:47,840 --> 00:17:50,399
Speaker 4: to resign, yeah, and move on from a team that

412
00:17:50,480 --> 00:17:52,760
Speaker 4: you probably feel like, well, I'm a second banana even

413
00:17:52,800 --> 00:17:54,159
Speaker 4: if I come back, because they didn't want me as

414
00:17:54,160 --> 00:17:55,720
Speaker 4: the head coach, so why should I stick around?

415
00:17:55,840 --> 00:17:57,800
Speaker 3: Pride drives it. But I understand the argument.

416
00:17:58,200 --> 00:18:00,200
Speaker 4: And now it's up to Todd Monkin to figure out

417
00:18:00,200 --> 00:18:02,719
Speaker 4: who he's going to replace him with and prove that

418
00:18:03,160 --> 00:18:04,280
Speaker 4: it is in fact the players.

419
00:18:04,320 --> 00:18:07,440
Speaker 1: Wait, Schorartz knows he's gonna make money plenty. He's made

420
00:18:07,480 --> 00:18:08,000
Speaker 1: plenty of money.

421
00:18:08,000 --> 00:18:08,919
Speaker 2: He'll make money.

422
00:18:09,080 --> 00:18:10,560
Speaker 1: He might get it from the Raiders, who have an

423
00:18:10,560 --> 00:18:13,520
Speaker 1: open job right now, but then the Browns could like

424
00:18:14,240 --> 00:18:18,160
Speaker 1: negotiate a trade for trade compensation. So so we'll see.

425
00:18:18,320 --> 00:18:21,840
Speaker 1: Let's get to those Hall of Fame picks. Drew Brees,

426
00:18:22,840 --> 00:18:26,800
Speaker 1: Larry Fitzgerald, Adam Vinteri getting in on his first year,

427
00:18:27,240 --> 00:18:30,720
Speaker 1: all in as first ballot Hall of Famers. I kind

428
00:18:30,720 --> 00:18:32,680
Speaker 1: of don't like that we make such a big deal

429
00:18:32,680 --> 00:18:35,399
Speaker 1: out of first ballot, like they put that up first ballot,

430
00:18:35,440 --> 00:18:40,280
Speaker 1: first kicker to be first ballut Luke Kigley. It's kind

431
00:18:40,280 --> 00:18:42,840
Speaker 1: of because like it diminishes Luke Keigley, who should have

432
00:18:42,920 --> 00:18:45,199
Speaker 1: been a first ballot Hall of Famer, but he is

433
00:18:45,320 --> 00:18:49,560
Speaker 1: going in. And then Roger Craig, the first player from

434
00:18:49,600 --> 00:18:53,120
Speaker 1: a Seniors committee to get in since they changed this format,

435
00:18:53,160 --> 00:18:56,560
Speaker 1: but one of three candidates and only one got in,

436
00:18:56,720 --> 00:18:59,520
Speaker 1: so neither Craft gets in, nor Belichick, who are the

437
00:18:59,520 --> 00:19:02,359
Speaker 1: contributor with this new format, and only one of the

438
00:19:02,400 --> 00:19:05,640
Speaker 1: senior kndids, so we have a class of five. I'm

439
00:19:05,640 --> 00:19:11,240
Speaker 1: gonna start with Keikley with you, Jordan, like you covered him,

440
00:19:11,600 --> 00:19:16,320
Speaker 1: just your thoughts on him, like getting immortalized in only

441
00:19:16,440 --> 00:19:18,920
Speaker 1: second year, eligible as an all time great.

442
00:19:19,800 --> 00:19:22,480
Speaker 5: Well, I think everyone expected it, like you said to

443
00:19:22,520 --> 00:19:26,879
Speaker 5: be last year, and he people, I think quickly forget

444
00:19:26,960 --> 00:19:29,560
Speaker 5: how good some of these guys were when they were playing.

445
00:19:29,640 --> 00:19:34,240
Speaker 5: And I think he's a classic example of that. Unbelievable,

446
00:19:34,600 --> 00:19:37,080
Speaker 5: one of the best you'll ever see and has ever

447
00:19:37,160 --> 00:19:40,960
Speaker 5: been to play the position and could do anything, could

448
00:19:41,000 --> 00:19:45,560
Speaker 5: cover Julio Jones. Could you know direct the defense directed

449
00:19:45,600 --> 00:19:47,040
Speaker 5: different multiple versions.

450
00:19:46,800 --> 00:19:48,880
Speaker 3: Of colasophy, opposing offenses plays.

451
00:19:48,640 --> 00:19:51,560
Speaker 5: Could call out the opposing offensive plays back to back

452
00:19:51,600 --> 00:19:55,040
Speaker 5: interceptions after telling you he knows exactly what you're gonna do,

453
00:19:55,119 --> 00:19:56,439
Speaker 5: and then you do a different thing, and then he

454
00:19:56,520 --> 00:19:59,720
Speaker 5: still makes the play twice back to back. I mean,

455
00:19:59,800 --> 00:20:02,800
Speaker 5: he he was special and what I what I so

456
00:20:03,080 --> 00:20:06,320
Speaker 5: loved and it it pulled at my my soft soft

457
00:20:06,359 --> 00:20:10,720
Speaker 5: heart strings was Julius Pepper's being the one to be standing,

458
00:20:11,160 --> 00:20:13,879
Speaker 5: you know, in his room with a bunch of his friends,

459
00:20:13,880 --> 00:20:16,080
Speaker 5: our friend of the show, Jj Janssen as well, and

460
00:20:16,960 --> 00:20:20,240
Speaker 5: was always which incredible to see him there too. And

461
00:20:20,280 --> 00:20:22,720
Speaker 5: congrats to Steve Weish on the HBCU Hall of Fame

462
00:20:22,800 --> 00:20:26,920
Speaker 5: as well, really well deserved such an honor. And for

463
00:20:27,000 --> 00:20:31,160
Speaker 5: Pep to be standing there and really clearly emotional by

464
00:20:31,200 --> 00:20:33,840
Speaker 5: the moment, and then Luke, who has never been emotional

465
00:20:34,320 --> 00:20:36,920
Speaker 5: or showed any emotion at all and has just been

466
00:20:36,960 --> 00:20:40,240
Speaker 5: so all ball all the time to sort of almost

467
00:20:40,280 --> 00:20:43,919
Speaker 5: ask him like, hey, Pep, you know what do you

468
00:20:43,960 --> 00:20:45,840
Speaker 5: what are you doing? Like that, and it would just

469
00:20:45,960 --> 00:20:48,760
Speaker 5: it was so pure of a moment. It was very cool.

470
00:20:48,760 --> 00:20:49,880
Speaker 2: I love I love that show.

471
00:20:49,880 --> 00:20:52,680
Speaker 1: It's one of the best things NFL Network does, NFL Films.

472
00:20:53,400 --> 00:20:56,480
Speaker 1: There's a full thirty minute edition. It's it's Steve Weisch's

473
00:20:56,520 --> 00:20:59,919
Speaker 1: time to shine too with these players letting them know.

474
00:21:00,160 --> 00:21:03,000
Speaker 1: And Keighley was one of the least emotional people ever

475
00:21:03,119 --> 00:21:04,720
Speaker 1: when told, but that's very much.

476
00:21:04,960 --> 00:21:07,040
Speaker 2: It was just like, oh, hey, this is cool.

477
00:21:07,240 --> 00:21:10,040
Speaker 1: Yeah, And like usually they break down and it's all

478
00:21:10,040 --> 00:21:12,240
Speaker 1: crazy and it was more just like this is awesome,

479
00:21:12,320 --> 00:21:13,160
Speaker 1: my friends are here.

480
00:21:13,880 --> 00:21:15,199
Speaker 2: I'm almost uncomfortable with it.

481
00:21:15,240 --> 00:21:18,080
Speaker 1: But uh, louke Kickley fourteenth on the top twenty five

482
00:21:18,119 --> 00:21:21,639
Speaker 1: players of the last twenty five years. When we did that,

483
00:21:21,680 --> 00:21:24,639
Speaker 1: it's obviouselys I was thinking when I saw Garrett unanimous

484
00:21:24,640 --> 00:21:26,879
Speaker 1: Defensive Player of the Year too, I was like, oh,

485
00:21:26,960 --> 00:21:29,480
Speaker 1: if I did twenty six and twenty six, like Garrett's

486
00:21:29,480 --> 00:21:32,399
Speaker 1: already moving up another four spots. There's not many people

487
00:21:32,560 --> 00:21:35,040
Speaker 1: that have done that. But Keickley really makes me think

488
00:21:35,040 --> 00:21:37,720
Speaker 1: of Wes. We've talked about Wes this week on the

489
00:21:38,520 --> 00:21:41,200
Speaker 1: on the feed and everything, and you know we could.

490
00:21:41,200 --> 00:21:47,960
Speaker 1: We were watching Keikley from the NFL Network newsroom and immediately,

491
00:21:49,000 --> 00:21:51,760
Speaker 1: like rookie year, Wes is just like that's one of

492
00:21:51,760 --> 00:21:54,600
Speaker 1: the best linebackers ever seen. Like this guy is like

493
00:21:54,640 --> 00:21:58,440
Speaker 1: the ultimate like truth in terms of like the his

494
00:21:58,560 --> 00:22:01,720
Speaker 1: reaction time and his combination. It's like people like to

495
00:22:01,720 --> 00:22:04,439
Speaker 1: talk about instincts. It's like, no, he was like he

496
00:22:04,560 --> 00:22:08,680
Speaker 1: had the instincts, but the instincts plus the insane athleticism

497
00:22:08,760 --> 00:22:12,480
Speaker 1: combo in west he made him his guy as much

498
00:22:12,520 --> 00:22:14,720
Speaker 1: as just about anyone I would say in the entire

499
00:22:14,840 --> 00:22:17,679
Speaker 1: NFL within his first two years in the league, and

500
00:22:17,720 --> 00:22:20,400
Speaker 1: so on this week where you know, we remember West

501
00:22:20,440 --> 00:22:23,440
Speaker 1: five years after his passing. Very cool to see Keickley

502
00:22:23,440 --> 00:22:25,760
Speaker 1: get in five years after, you know, he finished his career.

503
00:22:25,840 --> 00:22:28,720
Speaker 4: Yeah, and I'm really happy that it happened now because,

504
00:22:29,080 --> 00:22:31,359
Speaker 4: like you said, I feel like we tend to forget

505
00:22:31,400 --> 00:22:34,320
Speaker 4: how good players can be, and we forget about guys

506
00:22:34,359 --> 00:22:36,280
Speaker 4: like him because his career was cut short.

507
00:22:36,359 --> 00:22:39,440
Speaker 3: You know, he did not last as long as you know, some.

508
00:22:39,400 --> 00:22:42,080
Speaker 4: Of the greats of the past in interest of his health, right,

509
00:22:42,440 --> 00:22:45,840
Speaker 4: And I felt like he kind of faded into not anonymity,

510
00:22:45,880 --> 00:22:48,080
Speaker 4: but just into the past, and people move on, they

511
00:22:48,080 --> 00:22:50,160
Speaker 4: start to identify the new linebackers and they forget about

512
00:22:50,160 --> 00:22:52,840
Speaker 4: those grades. And it first kind of hit me when

513
00:22:52,880 --> 00:22:56,800
Speaker 4: he was doing ESPN's like alternative broadcast of the Colts game,

514
00:22:56,840 --> 00:22:58,959
Speaker 4: the Monday night game, and he's on the breakdown and

515
00:22:59,000 --> 00:23:00,639
Speaker 4: he's doing exactly what he used to do on the

516
00:23:00,640 --> 00:23:03,359
Speaker 4: field and explaining everything, and he called the pick six

517
00:23:03,400 --> 00:23:05,840
Speaker 4: that rivers through that was great, and you're just like,

518
00:23:06,200 --> 00:23:08,359
Speaker 4: oh my god, there's that great football mind. And he

519
00:23:08,400 --> 00:23:10,879
Speaker 4: had a little bit of like a virality moment in

520
00:23:10,920 --> 00:23:13,399
Speaker 4: the following week on social media. But for him to

521
00:23:13,440 --> 00:23:15,800
Speaker 4: get here, it's like, now you know that they people

522
00:23:15,800 --> 00:23:16,680
Speaker 4: will not forget him.

523
00:23:16,920 --> 00:23:21,520
Speaker 1: So I like always rewarding peak players, and I think

524
00:23:21,560 --> 00:23:22,680
Speaker 1: I think Roger Craig.

525
00:23:24,000 --> 00:23:25,080
Speaker 2: Was a good example of that.

526
00:23:25,119 --> 00:23:28,679
Speaker 1: He had two years over two thousand yards he had

527
00:23:29,520 --> 00:23:32,359
Speaker 1: in terms of yards from scrimmage. He had, you know,

528
00:23:32,440 --> 00:23:34,640
Speaker 1: seasons where he goes a thousand. He had a season

529
00:23:34,680 --> 00:23:36,760
Speaker 1: where he went a thousand one thousand, which never been

530
00:23:36,840 --> 00:23:39,479
Speaker 1: done before. Just absolutely outrageous. So he gets in at

531
00:23:39,520 --> 00:23:41,640
Speaker 1: the Senior Committee. We'll give these guys more time when

532
00:23:41,640 --> 00:23:44,600
Speaker 1: they do get inducted. But obviously Drew Brees and Larry

533
00:23:44,600 --> 00:23:49,000
Speaker 1: Fitzgerald were just no doubters and great to see how

534
00:23:49,040 --> 00:23:52,840
Speaker 1: emotional they were. The famous story how Larry Fitzgerald used

535
00:23:52,840 --> 00:23:54,960
Speaker 1: to be the ball boy for Randy Moss, and Randy

536
00:23:55,000 --> 00:23:57,720
Speaker 1: Moss is the one that lets him know, and you

537
00:23:57,720 --> 00:24:00,840
Speaker 1: can see how much it meant to Breeze, who is

538
00:24:01,000 --> 00:24:05,359
Speaker 1: just means more to that team and that franchise just

539
00:24:05,400 --> 00:24:08,040
Speaker 1: about than almost any player to any team in franchise.

540
00:24:08,080 --> 00:24:11,119
Speaker 1: So it's gonna be a really great Saints celebration, like

541
00:24:11,240 --> 00:24:13,199
Speaker 1: the Saints fans are gonna show up and can't and

542
00:24:13,200 --> 00:24:16,040
Speaker 1: that'll be really cool. Obviously, great to see Venit Terry

543
00:24:16,560 --> 00:24:18,760
Speaker 1: get in and a great class.

544
00:24:18,840 --> 00:24:19,840
Speaker 2: It's five players.

545
00:24:19,880 --> 00:24:22,720
Speaker 1: I find it interesting because they let you know how

546
00:24:22,760 --> 00:24:25,800
Speaker 1: the voting went, so that's who got in. Last year,

547
00:24:25,840 --> 00:24:29,000
Speaker 1: only four players got in. This year, five players get in.

548
00:24:29,240 --> 00:24:32,280
Speaker 1: Only one, like I said, from those senior contributor bucket,

549
00:24:32,280 --> 00:24:34,520
Speaker 1: which is less than it's been in the past, so

550
00:24:34,560 --> 00:24:38,520
Speaker 1: it's harder. Deon Sanders was like, I'm sick of this.

551
00:24:38,560 --> 00:24:40,359
Speaker 1: Haull of very good make it harder to get in.

552
00:24:40,440 --> 00:24:43,879
Speaker 1: They kind of listen to him, and it's worked. I

553
00:24:43,920 --> 00:24:45,840
Speaker 1: don't know how I feel about that, but we're having

554
00:24:45,880 --> 00:24:48,240
Speaker 1: smaller classes. But the next three that were left off,

555
00:24:48,280 --> 00:24:50,320
Speaker 1: the three that got the closest, the only one that

556
00:24:50,359 --> 00:24:52,719
Speaker 1: I thought should have gotten in was Marshall Yonda.

557
00:24:52,880 --> 00:24:53,840
Speaker 2: I think he will get in.

558
00:24:53,920 --> 00:24:57,080
Speaker 1: Yeah, the Ravens guard, Willie Anderson from the Bengals, who's

559
00:24:57,119 --> 00:25:00,000
Speaker 1: been on the list forever, was very close to get in,

560
00:25:00,200 --> 00:25:03,360
Speaker 1: and Terrell Suggs. Next three after that was Frank Gore,

561
00:25:03,840 --> 00:25:07,520
Speaker 1: Darren Woodson and Jason Witten. I was surprised Witten and

562
00:25:07,560 --> 00:25:12,440
Speaker 1: Gore in their first year of eligibility already get.

563
00:25:12,240 --> 00:25:14,920
Speaker 2: Into that final what is it ten?

564
00:25:14,960 --> 00:25:17,320
Speaker 1: I guess they're not, like you know, they were the

565
00:25:17,359 --> 00:25:19,960
Speaker 1: next six out and four got in from the modern guys.

566
00:25:20,280 --> 00:25:23,080
Speaker 1: That's a good sign for them long term, and it's

567
00:25:23,080 --> 00:25:27,320
Speaker 1: a bad sign for Tory Holt and Reggie Wayne and

568
00:25:27,520 --> 00:25:30,320
Speaker 1: Eli Manning. But Eli Manning's pretty early in this process.

569
00:25:30,359 --> 00:25:34,040
Speaker 5: I just walked by the way.

570
00:25:33,200 --> 00:25:36,439
Speaker 1: Kevin Williams, but I don't think anyone's really covering the

571
00:25:36,520 --> 00:25:39,320
Speaker 1: like the cuts because they have to have these different

572
00:25:39,320 --> 00:25:40,720
Speaker 1: parts of the votings. I just kind of wanted to

573
00:25:40,720 --> 00:25:42,720
Speaker 1: point out, like who is getting closer. It was a

574
00:25:42,720 --> 00:25:45,760
Speaker 1: great sign for one of my favorite players, the inconvenient

575
00:25:45,800 --> 00:25:47,600
Speaker 1: truth Frank Gore that that he probably will.

576
00:25:47,440 --> 00:25:50,199
Speaker 2: Get in and that Eli Manning is not like not

577
00:25:50,320 --> 00:25:52,200
Speaker 2: like a total lock. It's hard.

578
00:25:52,840 --> 00:25:55,720
Speaker 4: I mean it kind of we had this debate with

579
00:25:55,840 --> 00:25:57,840
Speaker 4: Eli and Philip Rivers, like they were both in the

580
00:25:57,880 --> 00:26:00,119
Speaker 4: same kind of bucket where we were just like the

581
00:26:00,200 --> 00:26:00,840
Speaker 4: Hall of Famers.

582
00:26:00,920 --> 00:26:04,080
Speaker 1: Well here's the thing, like the next few classes are loaded.

583
00:26:04,359 --> 00:26:04,760
Speaker 8: Yeah.

584
00:26:04,800 --> 00:26:07,520
Speaker 1: So when Ali Connelly came back at me when I

585
00:26:07,560 --> 00:26:10,400
Speaker 1: said I would have put Holt as my fifth on

586
00:26:10,480 --> 00:26:13,560
Speaker 1: my list, because I like kind of wanted just him

587
00:26:13,600 --> 00:26:17,040
Speaker 1: to finally get in, and he was like, oh, so

588
00:26:17,080 --> 00:26:18,879
Speaker 1: you saw him as like a top two and I

589
00:26:18,920 --> 00:26:21,000
Speaker 1: was like, no, he was always like, you know, he

590
00:26:21,080 --> 00:26:23,040
Speaker 1: was three to five for so long. And he's like,

591
00:26:23,840 --> 00:26:25,240
Speaker 1: but is that the type of guys you want in

592
00:26:25,240 --> 00:26:26,800
Speaker 1: the Hall of Fame? And it's like, I think it's

593
00:26:26,840 --> 00:26:28,439
Speaker 1: a good it's a it's a good point. And then

594
00:26:28,480 --> 00:26:30,440
Speaker 1: I sort of flipped it on as I was talking

595
00:26:30,440 --> 00:26:33,000
Speaker 1: to Marshall Gyanda, who was like pretty obviously the fist

596
00:26:33,080 --> 00:26:34,600
Speaker 1: guard in the game for a long time.

597
00:26:34,760 --> 00:26:36,159
Speaker 2: Yeah, those guys might never get in.

598
00:26:36,240 --> 00:26:38,440
Speaker 1: It's kind of the larger point that I'm making, or

599
00:26:38,480 --> 00:26:40,200
Speaker 1: at least might make it to the Senior Committee. I know,

600
00:26:40,240 --> 00:26:43,840
Speaker 1: I'm honking a lot. Finally, Cliff Kingsbury is part of

601
00:26:43,880 --> 00:26:44,400
Speaker 1: the Rams.

602
00:26:44,440 --> 00:26:46,760
Speaker 5: How weird is that it is very weird weird, It

603
00:26:46,840 --> 00:26:49,680
Speaker 5: is very weird. It's just like the epicenter of the

604
00:26:49,720 --> 00:26:50,440
Speaker 5: Bro universe.

605
00:26:51,280 --> 00:26:53,880
Speaker 1: Probably not going to be the offensive coordinator was your take,

606
00:26:53,920 --> 00:26:56,760
Speaker 1: because they didn't say his position, so it's probably going

607
00:26:56,840 --> 00:26:57,240
Speaker 1: to be some.

608
00:26:57,160 --> 00:26:59,640
Speaker 3: Sort of your offensive advice or assistant.

609
00:27:00,040 --> 00:27:02,240
Speaker 1: And it's kind of a reminder Cliff Kingsbury, despite having

610
00:27:02,280 --> 00:27:05,679
Speaker 1: a lot of friends in the media saying how highly

611
00:27:05,720 --> 00:27:07,120
Speaker 1: thought of he was for a lot of these jobs,

612
00:27:07,160 --> 00:27:10,040
Speaker 1: didn't get a job ultimately, and now he's going to

613
00:27:10,119 --> 00:27:12,320
Speaker 1: go through the Sean McVay reputation car wash.

614
00:27:12,520 --> 00:27:14,880
Speaker 5: Yeah, we were talking earlier. We compared it a little

615
00:27:14,880 --> 00:27:17,120
Speaker 5: bit to the Kyle Shanahan quarterback car wash.

616
00:27:17,480 --> 00:27:19,040
Speaker 1: You know, I would, dare you say that about my

617
00:27:19,080 --> 00:27:21,560
Speaker 1: new best friend Mac Jones. All right, let's take a

618
00:27:22,000 --> 00:27:24,720
Speaker 1: break and we're going to come back on the other

619
00:27:24,840 --> 00:27:27,240
Speaker 1: side with Denzel Ward.

620
00:27:27,480 --> 00:27:29,760
Speaker 2: Keep this Browns conversation going.

621
00:27:29,960 --> 00:27:32,960
Speaker 1: We also have Kyle Hamilton, one of the best players

622
00:27:33,000 --> 00:27:36,639
Speaker 1: in the entire NFL, and Felton Schultz coming up in

623
00:27:36,800 --> 00:27:47,359
Speaker 1: just a few Excited to welcome in five time pro bowler?

624
00:27:48,280 --> 00:27:51,080
Speaker 1: How's he been in the league that long? Denzel Ward

625
00:27:51,160 --> 00:27:53,080
Speaker 1: of the Cleveland Browns. But I feel like I'm just

626
00:27:53,119 --> 00:27:55,840
Speaker 1: getting in the way here because it's it's a reunion

627
00:27:55,960 --> 00:27:59,840
Speaker 1: between us, Denzel and Nick Shuck who know each other?

628
00:28:00,119 --> 00:28:01,280
Speaker 2: How do you guys know each other?

629
00:28:01,400 --> 00:28:02,960
Speaker 9: When I first started talking to Denzel when he was

630
00:28:02,960 --> 00:28:05,440
Speaker 9: coming into the league, we were doing phone interviews, and.

631
00:28:05,400 --> 00:28:06,919
Speaker 3: Then when I work for the Browns, he was only

632
00:28:06,960 --> 00:28:09,040
Speaker 3: in the second year and he was just starting to

633
00:28:09,080 --> 00:28:11,639
Speaker 3: ascend to the elite status that he has occupied for

634
00:28:11,680 --> 00:28:12,000
Speaker 3: so long.

635
00:28:12,080 --> 00:28:13,280
Speaker 8: Now, I appreciate it, man.

636
00:28:13,320 --> 00:28:15,399
Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean, were you.

637
00:28:15,359 --> 00:28:18,000
Speaker 1: Like a little annoyed Denzel like that this website writer

638
00:28:18,280 --> 00:28:20,000
Speaker 1: was like bigger than half the guys on the team.

639
00:28:22,240 --> 00:28:24,640
Speaker 6: We have some pretty good big guys, but he is big.

640
00:28:26,760 --> 00:28:28,240
Speaker 2: Dead's out coming off.

641
00:28:28,880 --> 00:28:32,760
Speaker 1: Obviously a great year for your defense and you just

642
00:28:32,800 --> 00:28:37,080
Speaker 1: saw your guy Miles. We're taping this on Friday. Get

643
00:28:37,240 --> 00:28:42,400
Speaker 1: rewarded for it. Unanimous Defensive Player of the Year. First

644
00:28:42,400 --> 00:28:44,040
Speaker 1: of all, what was it like seeing that every day

645
00:28:44,040 --> 00:28:46,680
Speaker 1: as a teammates It's been a while, but also being

646
00:28:46,760 --> 00:28:50,440
Speaker 1: on a defense that's so dominant even even when the

647
00:28:50,480 --> 00:28:52,960
Speaker 1: team's not getting done and keeping that sort of focus.

648
00:28:53,160 --> 00:28:55,560
Speaker 6: Yeah, no, I mean that's the mindset, like regardless what

649
00:28:55,880 --> 00:28:57,960
Speaker 6: offense is doing or what the team is doing, like

650
00:28:58,280 --> 00:28:59,960
Speaker 6: we got to hold ourselves to an the least stand

651
00:29:00,040 --> 00:29:02,760
Speaker 6: under the high standard, and still defense still got to

652
00:29:02,800 --> 00:29:04,840
Speaker 6: hold its own and try to put our offense and

653
00:29:04,880 --> 00:29:08,320
Speaker 6: special teams in the best position as possible. So yeah,

654
00:29:08,320 --> 00:29:09,920
Speaker 6: that's what we that's the mindset going out on the

655
00:29:09,960 --> 00:29:12,600
Speaker 6: field every time. It's good of our guys, the best chance.

656
00:29:12,440 --> 00:29:15,520
Speaker 1: To win the game with seeing Miles like in practice

657
00:29:15,640 --> 00:29:17,440
Speaker 1: or maybe when you're watch it on film, is there

658
00:29:17,520 --> 00:29:19,840
Speaker 1: just like a moment that stands out to you or

659
00:29:19,880 --> 00:29:20,680
Speaker 1: stuff that he does?

660
00:29:20,760 --> 00:29:22,800
Speaker 6: I think really every time he lines up, like for

661
00:29:22,920 --> 00:29:25,520
Speaker 6: how big he is and explosive he is, he's able

662
00:29:25,560 --> 00:29:28,400
Speaker 6: to get off the ball in point two seconds and

663
00:29:28,440 --> 00:29:32,080
Speaker 6: then just get like a blur getting around the tackle. So,

664
00:29:32,560 --> 00:29:34,160
Speaker 6: I mean, Miles is a Hall of Fame player. You

665
00:29:34,160 --> 00:29:36,120
Speaker 6: guys know that, and just what he's able to do.

666
00:29:36,440 --> 00:29:38,880
Speaker 6: We see it every day practice in the game.

667
00:29:39,000 --> 00:29:40,360
Speaker 9: Yeah, you get used to it, right, I mean you've

668
00:29:40,360 --> 00:29:42,280
Speaker 9: seen it since you arrived, because he started a year

669
00:29:42,320 --> 00:29:42,880
Speaker 9: before you did.

670
00:29:42,920 --> 00:29:45,080
Speaker 4: But how about that moment when he finally breaks the

671
00:29:45,080 --> 00:29:47,080
Speaker 4: sack record in Cincinnati, Because I mean happens in the

672
00:29:47,080 --> 00:29:49,360
Speaker 4: second half. You can kind of probably feel the tension like,

673
00:29:49,400 --> 00:29:50,640
Speaker 4: oh man, it's gonna get it done.

674
00:29:50,760 --> 00:29:52,000
Speaker 3: And then the celebration what was that?

675
00:29:52,080 --> 00:29:52,200
Speaker 5: Like?

676
00:29:52,280 --> 00:29:52,960
Speaker 6: Oh that was real?

677
00:29:53,040 --> 00:29:53,480
Speaker 8: Cool man?

678
00:29:53,520 --> 00:29:56,280
Speaker 6: I mean as well deserved. Miles is an incredible player.

679
00:29:56,520 --> 00:29:58,560
Speaker 6: I know, just reaching for goals and you're right there

680
00:29:58,600 --> 00:30:00,640
Speaker 6: at that goal. I know he want it bad. We

681
00:30:00,680 --> 00:30:03,160
Speaker 6: wanted it for him, and for him to capitalize on

682
00:30:03,200 --> 00:30:06,160
Speaker 6: it and make history, that's a great story to tell.

683
00:30:06,280 --> 00:30:08,320
Speaker 9: What's cool too is I think you go back two

684
00:30:08,360 --> 00:30:09,960
Speaker 9: three years, you know, you go into the season and

685
00:30:10,000 --> 00:30:11,200
Speaker 9: they would be like, well, Miles, what's your goal?

686
00:30:11,240 --> 00:30:12,560
Speaker 3: He would aways say, defensive player the year.

687
00:30:12,600 --> 00:30:14,640
Speaker 4: Yeah, well he's done it twice now, so like, okay,

688
00:30:14,720 --> 00:30:16,160
Speaker 4: keep stacking them up. But then it makes me think,

689
00:30:16,200 --> 00:30:17,959
Speaker 4: what is your goal every year when you go into

690
00:30:17,960 --> 00:30:18,360
Speaker 4: the season.

691
00:30:18,480 --> 00:30:20,280
Speaker 6: Yeah, for me, be the best on the field. Be

692
00:30:20,280 --> 00:30:21,480
Speaker 6: the best player on the field. Now we got a

693
00:30:21,520 --> 00:30:24,560
Speaker 6: Miles Garrett on the NL. I'm right there with him,

694
00:30:24,600 --> 00:30:27,040
Speaker 6: you know, as dominant as he is out there at

695
00:30:27,080 --> 00:30:29,800
Speaker 6: the cornerback position, but just being that guy, being that

696
00:30:29,800 --> 00:30:31,400
Speaker 6: guy that could shut down the side of the field

697
00:30:31,760 --> 00:30:33,920
Speaker 6: and not allow no catches and make plays.

698
00:30:34,280 --> 00:30:35,000
Speaker 2: Let's go through.

699
00:30:35,160 --> 00:30:36,760
Speaker 1: I don't know if this would be like a speed round,

700
00:30:36,840 --> 00:30:39,160
Speaker 1: but I'd be curious to just throw a couple of

701
00:30:39,160 --> 00:30:42,400
Speaker 1: the great receivers that that you go up against, and

702
00:30:42,600 --> 00:30:45,000
Speaker 1: what you bring to the table when you go up

703
00:30:45,040 --> 00:30:47,800
Speaker 1: against those guys, what you what you're looking for? Obviously,

704
00:30:47,920 --> 00:30:49,959
Speaker 1: you know you play the Bengals twice a year. When

705
00:30:50,000 --> 00:30:52,600
Speaker 1: you when you face Jamar Chase, what what are you

706
00:30:52,640 --> 00:30:53,120
Speaker 1: looking to do?

707
00:30:53,400 --> 00:30:53,800
Speaker 8: Yeah?

708
00:30:53,840 --> 00:30:56,440
Speaker 6: I'm looking to dominate you know, looking to dominate every time,

709
00:30:56,560 --> 00:30:58,640
Speaker 6: like I enjoy those matches. Like you said, Jamar Chase

710
00:30:58,640 --> 00:31:02,240
Speaker 6: t Higgins, you know, they're prolific receivers in this league.

711
00:31:02,440 --> 00:31:04,280
Speaker 6: And you know, Joe Burt, they're gonna throw the ball

712
00:31:04,280 --> 00:31:06,040
Speaker 6: going into that game. So you're gonna get your action

713
00:31:06,320 --> 00:31:08,760
Speaker 6: and you're gonna get your plays. So just really going

714
00:31:08,800 --> 00:31:11,880
Speaker 6: in to make plays and stop those guys as best

715
00:31:11,920 --> 00:31:12,440
Speaker 6: as you can.

716
00:31:12,920 --> 00:31:13,880
Speaker 8: You see weeks.

717
00:31:13,600 --> 00:31:16,160
Speaker 6: Before they go for one hundred and twenty five yards

718
00:31:16,200 --> 00:31:18,520
Speaker 6: or something crazy, and it's like, you know, we can't

719
00:31:18,600 --> 00:31:20,400
Speaker 6: let that have it this week. You gotta stop them

720
00:31:20,560 --> 00:31:21,960
Speaker 6: and put our guys in the best chance.

721
00:31:22,040 --> 00:31:22,840
Speaker 2: Is there something you do?

722
00:31:23,000 --> 00:31:26,080
Speaker 1: Let's use those two as an example different like technique

723
00:31:26,120 --> 00:31:29,240
Speaker 1: wise against a player like Jamar Chase versus let's say

724
00:31:29,400 --> 00:31:30,360
Speaker 1: at Tea Higgins.

725
00:31:30,400 --> 00:31:32,160
Speaker 6: Oh yeah, I think it just goes into a film set.

726
00:31:32,160 --> 00:31:32,920
Speaker 6: You know, I can't give.

727
00:31:32,800 --> 00:31:35,120
Speaker 2: All my love all my little twos.

728
00:31:34,880 --> 00:31:37,600
Speaker 6: But yeah, just watching film on those guys, they may

729
00:31:37,640 --> 00:31:40,160
Speaker 6: do different things and some similar things, and I see

730
00:31:40,160 --> 00:31:43,120
Speaker 6: how I could attack it in different ways, and I

731
00:31:43,160 --> 00:31:45,760
Speaker 6: feel my plans on how I like to play falls

732
00:31:45,840 --> 00:31:49,040
Speaker 6: right into covering guys like that. And but it's definitely

733
00:31:49,040 --> 00:31:51,680
Speaker 6: competitive out there, gonna be a good matchup every single time.

734
00:31:52,040 --> 00:31:54,400
Speaker 1: And yeah, how about DK, Like, would you rather go

735
00:31:54,480 --> 00:31:59,520
Speaker 1: against a big like monster or like does that give

736
00:31:59,560 --> 00:32:03,160
Speaker 1: you more? Or maybe a smaller shifty guy like which

737
00:32:03,240 --> 00:32:04,840
Speaker 1: is tougher from your vantage point?

738
00:32:05,680 --> 00:32:09,320
Speaker 6: I wouldn't say either, just tougher for me. I feel

739
00:32:09,360 --> 00:32:13,040
Speaker 6: I could cover different body types, like whether a smaller

740
00:32:13,040 --> 00:32:14,960
Speaker 6: guy and faster guy like Tyreek Hill or a bigger

741
00:32:14,960 --> 00:32:18,800
Speaker 6: guy like a DK Metcalf. I think, really what gives

742
00:32:18,800 --> 00:32:21,600
Speaker 6: you problems is if that player is able to use

743
00:32:21,640 --> 00:32:23,680
Speaker 6: their abilities and like, if they're a big guy, are

744
00:32:23,720 --> 00:32:25,800
Speaker 6: they able to get big with you and and really

745
00:32:25,800 --> 00:32:27,880
Speaker 6: take your topper fast guy? Are they able to run

746
00:32:27,920 --> 00:32:30,120
Speaker 6: by you and solve? I feel I could kind of

747
00:32:30,120 --> 00:32:31,440
Speaker 6: play both playing styles.

748
00:32:31,760 --> 00:32:35,800
Speaker 9: But yeah, what about I think about the whole Jamar

749
00:32:35,880 --> 00:32:38,760
Speaker 9: Chase and T Higgins thing. Right, obviously division opponent and

750
00:32:38,760 --> 00:32:40,640
Speaker 9: you've had success against the Bengals, But then it made

751
00:32:40,640 --> 00:32:42,680
Speaker 9: me think, like I watched Denzel make a lot of

752
00:32:42,720 --> 00:32:44,520
Speaker 9: plays against some pretty good receivers and some and some

753
00:32:44,520 --> 00:32:45,400
Speaker 9: pretty good quarterbacks.

754
00:32:45,480 --> 00:32:47,760
Speaker 3: Who is your favorite quarterback to pick.

755
00:32:47,560 --> 00:32:50,360
Speaker 6: Off my favorite quarter I'm gonna have to go Joe

756
00:32:50,440 --> 00:32:52,680
Speaker 6: Burrow I had the ninety nine yard.

757
00:32:52,600 --> 00:32:54,480
Speaker 3: Yeah, the one that came to mind.

758
00:32:54,560 --> 00:32:56,920
Speaker 6: Yeah, yeah, that was Joe Burrow is definitely a guy

759
00:32:57,040 --> 00:32:58,960
Speaker 6: looking forward to playing against and you know, I'm looking

760
00:32:58,960 --> 00:33:01,560
Speaker 6: forward to again that next in it's against him as well.

761
00:33:01,600 --> 00:33:02,880
Speaker 6: So I have to go joke.

762
00:33:02,960 --> 00:33:06,160
Speaker 1: Because there's so much continuity with with your defense and

763
00:33:06,400 --> 00:33:09,360
Speaker 1: you've been there a while, they've been there, Like is

764
00:33:09,360 --> 00:33:12,160
Speaker 1: there like a are you talking more with them because

765
00:33:12,360 --> 00:33:14,840
Speaker 1: you know them so well, haven't gone against him twice

766
00:33:14,880 --> 00:33:15,560
Speaker 1: a year for so long.

767
00:33:15,640 --> 00:33:17,680
Speaker 6: Yeah, I mean we talk a little bit, but I'll

768
00:33:17,720 --> 00:33:19,760
Speaker 6: be out there trying to save my breast, save my energy,

769
00:33:19,800 --> 00:33:21,840
Speaker 6: you know, focus on the game. You know, there's a

770
00:33:21,880 --> 00:33:24,520
Speaker 6: lot of energy out there. But now, Yeah, we talked

771
00:33:24,560 --> 00:33:27,240
Speaker 6: during the game and just competitive talk, you know, a

772
00:33:27,240 --> 00:33:29,320
Speaker 6: little trash talk here and there, but we're more so

773
00:33:29,360 --> 00:33:30,520
Speaker 6: focused on just playing the game.

774
00:33:30,640 --> 00:33:34,880
Speaker 1: So where were you when you learned Jim Schwartz will

775
00:33:34,960 --> 00:33:38,480
Speaker 1: not be coming back. He officially resigned as the as

776
00:33:38,480 --> 00:33:40,560
Speaker 1: the coordinator on Friday morning.

777
00:33:40,640 --> 00:33:43,880
Speaker 6: Yeah, I was in bed, so I just I woke

778
00:33:43,960 --> 00:33:47,520
Speaker 6: up and my mom had texted me that coach Schwartz

779
00:33:47,600 --> 00:33:49,920
Speaker 6: resigned and won't be with the team anymore. I was like,

780
00:33:49,960 --> 00:33:52,640
Speaker 6: oh man, that hurt because I got a lot of

781
00:33:52,640 --> 00:33:55,600
Speaker 6: respect for coach Schwartz and definitely wanted him to stay

782
00:33:55,640 --> 00:33:57,600
Speaker 6: with the team. And I know he's gonna do great

783
00:33:57,600 --> 00:34:00,400
Speaker 6: things where he goes next. I mean, he's prime for

784
00:34:00,400 --> 00:34:02,920
Speaker 6: a head coaching position and he's an amazing coach.

785
00:34:03,080 --> 00:34:04,920
Speaker 9: It's a tough way to wake up, of course, you know,

786
00:34:04,960 --> 00:34:07,040
Speaker 9: losing your decordinator that that has guided you guys to

787
00:34:07,080 --> 00:34:09,000
Speaker 9: so much success. But if you think about it, let's

788
00:34:09,040 --> 00:34:11,239
Speaker 9: go back to last night. Miles wins Defensive Player of

789
00:34:11,239 --> 00:34:13,719
Speaker 9: the Year unanimously, Carson Schwestinger wins.

790
00:34:13,560 --> 00:34:15,840
Speaker 3: Defensive Rookie of the Year. You obviously are on the

791
00:34:15,880 --> 00:34:18,080
Speaker 3: in the defensive backfield. You guys have talent, but we

792
00:34:18,120 --> 00:34:19,319
Speaker 3: could continue to go down the list.

793
00:34:19,320 --> 00:34:20,840
Speaker 4: I think back to, you know, at the end of

794
00:34:20,880 --> 00:34:23,040
Speaker 4: the year press conference when they pointed to Elie Collins

795
00:34:23,120 --> 00:34:25,480
Speaker 4: being one of the reasons that you know, the ownership

796
00:34:25,520 --> 00:34:26,319
Speaker 4: kept Andrew Berry.

797
00:34:26,400 --> 00:34:27,440
Speaker 3: You guys have talent.

798
00:34:27,719 --> 00:34:30,480
Speaker 4: So what if you had to advertise this unit to

799
00:34:30,520 --> 00:34:32,440
Speaker 4: an incoming coordinator, what would you say to them?

800
00:34:32,880 --> 00:34:34,840
Speaker 6: I don't think we need much advertised. I feel like

801
00:34:34,880 --> 00:34:37,040
Speaker 6: the play talks for itself, Like you see what we're

802
00:34:37,040 --> 00:34:39,040
Speaker 6: capable of doing. And like you said, the guys we got,

803
00:34:39,080 --> 00:34:40,719
Speaker 6: we got a defensive player of the year, we got

804
00:34:40,719 --> 00:34:43,360
Speaker 6: a rookie defensive player of the year. We got just

805
00:34:43,400 --> 00:34:45,360
Speaker 6: a lot of guys across the board that make plays

806
00:34:45,400 --> 00:34:47,319
Speaker 6: and go out there and do their things. I don't

807
00:34:47,360 --> 00:34:50,000
Speaker 6: think we need to advertise thatself much, but we just

808
00:34:50,040 --> 00:34:53,200
Speaker 6: go go out there and play whoever coordinator, whoever we get.

809
00:34:53,480 --> 00:34:56,160
Speaker 6: You know, we gonna learn who that is and go

810
00:34:56,200 --> 00:34:56,600
Speaker 6: from there.

811
00:34:56,640 --> 00:34:58,680
Speaker 4: I am curious you guys at an nd season trade,

812
00:34:58,719 --> 00:35:00,280
Speaker 4: Greg Newsom goes to Jacksonville.

813
00:35:00,160 --> 00:35:01,919
Speaker 9: And Campbell comes in. He ends up playing really well.

814
00:35:02,520 --> 00:35:04,160
Speaker 9: What was it like learning a new guy on the

815
00:35:04,160 --> 00:35:06,760
Speaker 9: other side of the field from you and getting him activated.

816
00:35:06,400 --> 00:35:06,880
Speaker 8: Through the Browns.

817
00:35:06,960 --> 00:35:09,600
Speaker 6: Yeah, it was tougher first because Greg Newson, that's my brothers.

818
00:35:10,200 --> 00:35:11,839
Speaker 6: I was hurt when we traded him, but I mean

819
00:35:11,840 --> 00:35:14,399
Speaker 6: that's that's the NFL. Guys are going to be shipped out,

820
00:35:14,400 --> 00:35:16,920
Speaker 6: shifted in. But I do think it was a good

821
00:35:16,920 --> 00:35:19,640
Speaker 6: trade though. I like Tyson. Tyson's came in and felt

822
00:35:19,680 --> 00:35:23,560
Speaker 6: the organization and it's been a good piece at it.

823
00:35:23,640 --> 00:35:26,279
Speaker 6: So he's been playing well, locking down on the other

824
00:35:26,320 --> 00:35:28,120
Speaker 6: side of the field. So it's been good having him

825
00:35:28,120 --> 00:35:28,759
Speaker 6: in the locker room.

826
00:35:28,840 --> 00:35:31,439
Speaker 1: I saw I saw you overseas playing in that game,

827
00:35:31,480 --> 00:35:34,719
Speaker 1: and I remember Carson, I want to I want to

828
00:35:34,760 --> 00:35:36,160
Speaker 1: check this, but I'm pretty sure he had the green

829
00:35:36,200 --> 00:35:36,799
Speaker 1: dot in that game.

830
00:35:36,800 --> 00:35:37,480
Speaker 2: And he comes in.

831
00:35:37,440 --> 00:35:40,000
Speaker 1: As a rookie and he's really doing a lot of

832
00:35:40,480 --> 00:35:42,400
Speaker 1: like next level stuff as a rookie.

833
00:35:42,440 --> 00:35:43,840
Speaker 2: When did you.

834
00:35:43,600 --> 00:35:45,480
Speaker 1: Get the feel that that might be different than like

835
00:35:45,520 --> 00:35:46,880
Speaker 1: your average rookie linebacker.

836
00:35:47,120 --> 00:35:48,560
Speaker 6: I mean, I think as soon as he came in.

837
00:35:48,840 --> 00:35:50,360
Speaker 6: I mean, he was making plays the first day he

838
00:35:50,360 --> 00:35:52,640
Speaker 6: stepped out on the practice field and so I mean

839
00:35:52,680 --> 00:35:54,440
Speaker 6: that was like during camp. So I was like, Okay,

840
00:35:54,480 --> 00:35:56,839
Speaker 6: I think we got a player, but we go wait

841
00:35:56,840 --> 00:35:58,759
Speaker 6: to see once we get into real live ball and

842
00:35:59,080 --> 00:36:01,719
Speaker 6: going against the guy, uh in the regular game, and

843
00:36:01,960 --> 00:36:03,560
Speaker 6: I love thing has changed. I mean, his play just

844
00:36:03,600 --> 00:36:05,880
Speaker 6: took off and continuing to got better and better each week.

845
00:36:06,120 --> 00:36:07,880
Speaker 6: And uh yeah, I mean you see what he what

846
00:36:08,000 --> 00:36:09,880
Speaker 6: he's able to do, and he's a great player.

847
00:36:09,920 --> 00:36:11,839
Speaker 9: He's one of those guys that Browns fans I think

848
00:36:11,880 --> 00:36:14,000
Speaker 9: have already gravitated toward. Why do you think that he's

849
00:36:14,040 --> 00:36:15,560
Speaker 9: been such an easy guy for them to root for?

850
00:36:15,800 --> 00:36:17,440
Speaker 6: I think he's just he's just a good guy, and

851
00:36:17,640 --> 00:36:19,520
Speaker 6: I mean he's a great player. You're making plays out

852
00:36:19,520 --> 00:36:21,760
Speaker 6: there and doing what you're supposed to do. The Cleveland

853
00:36:21,800 --> 00:36:22,719
Speaker 6: Everybody's gonna love him.

854
00:36:22,760 --> 00:36:25,239
Speaker 1: One thing I find interesting about you is you've been

855
00:36:25,280 --> 00:36:27,640
Speaker 1: asked this so many times because you've just been with

856
00:36:27,680 --> 00:36:29,560
Speaker 1: the Browns and obviously there hasn't been a lot of

857
00:36:29,560 --> 00:36:34,360
Speaker 1: winning lately the last few years, and saying like, I.

858
00:36:34,360 --> 00:36:35,320
Speaker 2: Don't want to go anywhere.

859
00:36:35,360 --> 00:36:39,520
Speaker 1: Stop stop fake trading me, because he's just people without

860
00:36:39,640 --> 00:36:41,960
Speaker 1: like people without really knowing, just like they've trying to

861
00:36:41,960 --> 00:36:43,799
Speaker 1: come up with possible trades. We do that sort of

862
00:36:43,800 --> 00:36:45,680
Speaker 1: stuff on this show, but we try to ground it

863
00:36:45,719 --> 00:36:47,759
Speaker 1: in some sort of reality, and there's never really been

864
00:36:47,800 --> 00:36:50,160
Speaker 1: any particular reason to think that that was gonna happen.

865
00:36:50,160 --> 00:36:52,239
Speaker 1: But people like, oh, maybe maybe the Browns would give

866
00:36:52,280 --> 00:36:52,879
Speaker 1: up Den's Award.

867
00:36:52,920 --> 00:36:54,400
Speaker 2: But you've been pretty vocal being.

868
00:36:54,239 --> 00:36:57,080
Speaker 1: Like, no, I this is this is where I want

869
00:36:57,120 --> 00:36:59,960
Speaker 1: to be, Like why is that important?

870
00:37:00,239 --> 00:37:01,319
Speaker 2: Why is that always your shad?

871
00:37:01,480 --> 00:37:03,560
Speaker 6: I'll say it's definitely where I want to be, but

872
00:37:04,120 --> 00:37:06,879
Speaker 6: also like wherever I'm met, like I'm content in being

873
00:37:06,880 --> 00:37:09,440
Speaker 6: so say our were to get traded, you know, I'm

874
00:37:09,800 --> 00:37:11,560
Speaker 6: a believer in wherever I'm at, that's.

875
00:37:11,400 --> 00:37:12,120
Speaker 8: Where I'm supposed to be.

876
00:37:12,200 --> 00:37:14,799
Speaker 6: So I'm gonna still be myself. I'm still go and

877
00:37:14,800 --> 00:37:18,359
Speaker 6: make plays and be a shutdown corner. But like I said,

878
00:37:18,360 --> 00:37:19,920
Speaker 6: Cleveland is definitely where I want to be. This is

879
00:37:19,960 --> 00:37:22,359
Speaker 6: a team that believed in me when I was coming

880
00:37:22,400 --> 00:37:25,279
Speaker 6: out of college at Ohio State and continue to believe

881
00:37:25,320 --> 00:37:28,440
Speaker 6: in me, giving me a contract, and you know, so

882
00:37:28,440 --> 00:37:30,080
Speaker 6: I just try to go out there and make plays

883
00:37:30,080 --> 00:37:32,880
Speaker 6: for the city and be that guy that they drafted.

884
00:37:33,080 --> 00:37:35,680
Speaker 3: That's the proper answer, of course. But it's also home.

885
00:37:35,760 --> 00:37:36,080
Speaker 5: I mean.

886
00:37:38,000 --> 00:37:41,359
Speaker 6: That my family's there. I lived thirty minutes from home,

887
00:37:41,480 --> 00:37:43,960
Speaker 6: so yeah, it's not too bad of a place to be.

888
00:37:44,640 --> 00:37:46,520
Speaker 1: When I saw a five time pro bowler, because I'm

889
00:37:46,520 --> 00:37:48,319
Speaker 1: into this Hall of Fame stuff, I know, you don't

890
00:37:48,480 --> 00:37:50,719
Speaker 1: even think about that he was like five times. Like

891
00:37:51,040 --> 00:37:55,040
Speaker 1: you're twenty eight years old, right, yes, sir? Does that

892
00:37:55,400 --> 00:37:56,080
Speaker 1: pop in your head?

893
00:37:56,080 --> 00:37:56,279
Speaker 8: It off?

894
00:37:56,320 --> 00:37:57,719
Speaker 2: And I guess what I would say, because I think,

895
00:37:57,760 --> 00:37:58,040
Speaker 2: like the.

896
00:37:58,040 --> 00:38:01,359
Speaker 1: Average fan, Brown durning prime time quite as much as

897
00:38:01,360 --> 00:38:04,560
Speaker 1: some other teams they would I wanted them to learn

898
00:38:04,560 --> 00:38:07,000
Speaker 1: from you, like what makes Denzel Ward Denzel Ward like,

899
00:38:07,040 --> 00:38:10,759
Speaker 1: why do you think you're getting those honors and excelling

900
00:38:10,960 --> 00:38:14,759
Speaker 1: and making you unique to to other cornerbacks that either

901
00:38:14,760 --> 00:38:16,719
Speaker 1: aren't getting there or or are But what what it

902
00:38:16,840 --> 00:38:18,480
Speaker 1: like makes Denzel Ward Denzel.

903
00:38:18,120 --> 00:38:21,960
Speaker 6: Ward, Yeah, that's a great question for me. I'll say

904
00:38:22,760 --> 00:38:25,319
Speaker 6: one being consistency. I feel like I'm a I've been

905
00:38:25,480 --> 00:38:28,799
Speaker 6: very consistent since I stepped into the league. Just my

906
00:38:28,920 --> 00:38:32,480
Speaker 6: level of play has increased or gotten better, you know,

907
00:38:32,560 --> 00:38:35,600
Speaker 6: since I've been in the league, and just my playing style,

908
00:38:35,640 --> 00:38:37,719
Speaker 6: I feel like I could I could cover smaller guys,

909
00:38:37,719 --> 00:38:39,880
Speaker 6: I've cover bigger guys. I can play inside, I can

910
00:38:39,920 --> 00:38:43,080
Speaker 6: play outside, And I just want I'm a prime playmaker.

911
00:38:43,080 --> 00:38:44,920
Speaker 6: I'm able to go out there and make plays and

912
00:38:44,920 --> 00:38:46,759
Speaker 6: and shut down my side of the field and be

913
00:38:46,800 --> 00:38:47,240
Speaker 6: a dominant.

914
00:38:47,440 --> 00:38:49,640
Speaker 1: It's the hardest position to find, which is why I think,

915
00:38:49,760 --> 00:38:52,160
Speaker 1: like that's why they pay you, and that's that's why

916
00:38:52,120 --> 00:38:55,440
Speaker 1: I like, it's just so hard to find guys like that. Also, uh,

917
00:38:55,920 --> 00:38:58,800
Speaker 1: you know, sometimes hard to find great Madden players.

918
00:38:58,880 --> 00:39:01,160
Speaker 2: You're here representing a sports.

919
00:39:00,760 --> 00:39:03,080
Speaker 6: Oh yeah, guy, got the Madden jacket on right now.

920
00:39:03,160 --> 00:39:07,759
Speaker 2: It's nice embroidered. I heard you were just playing Saquan

921
00:39:08,440 --> 00:39:11,839
Speaker 2: in the booth. Yeah, so who who won? Oh?

922
00:39:11,920 --> 00:39:14,400
Speaker 6: We we actually didn't get to finish the game. But

923
00:39:14,400 --> 00:39:16,279
Speaker 6: but I was gonna win the game. You know, I

924
00:39:16,280 --> 00:39:17,560
Speaker 6: was gonna win the game. I was gonna put up

925
00:39:17,560 --> 00:39:19,640
Speaker 6: about twenty one points. You know, I'm gonna say everything

926
00:39:19,640 --> 00:39:21,960
Speaker 6: that I was gonna do with it. We didn't get

927
00:39:22,000 --> 00:39:22,920
Speaker 6: chance to finish the game, though.

928
00:39:23,000 --> 00:39:24,600
Speaker 2: Okay, how are you as a player?

929
00:39:24,640 --> 00:39:24,960
Speaker 4: Like, you're not?

930
00:39:26,120 --> 00:39:27,319
Speaker 8: I'm nice. I'm nice on Maden.

931
00:39:27,440 --> 00:39:28,240
Speaker 2: I feel like that's.

932
00:39:28,040 --> 00:39:30,200
Speaker 3: Something that you tend to do in the off season there.

933
00:39:30,200 --> 00:39:31,640
Speaker 3: I think like maybe back in COVID you did a

934
00:39:31,640 --> 00:39:32,520
Speaker 3: little bit of streaming too.

935
00:39:32,640 --> 00:39:33,040
Speaker 8: Yeah.

936
00:39:33,560 --> 00:39:35,840
Speaker 6: All I do is play played the video game, play Madden.

937
00:39:36,080 --> 00:39:38,359
Speaker 6: So yeah, I'm definitely might pick up streaming some more

938
00:39:38,400 --> 00:39:39,759
Speaker 6: and start streaming Madden.

939
00:39:39,880 --> 00:39:43,160
Speaker 1: You gotta ask Chuck for advice. He does the twitch. Okay,

940
00:39:43,200 --> 00:39:44,040
Speaker 1: it has the streams.

941
00:39:44,080 --> 00:39:46,120
Speaker 6: But okay, we might be able to, you know, work

942
00:39:46,160 --> 00:39:47,080
Speaker 6: together and do something.

943
00:39:47,239 --> 00:39:49,080
Speaker 4: I think we might have to collaborate. Which out to

944
00:39:49,160 --> 00:39:51,080
Speaker 4: Justin Jefferson about it, and he was on board. So you know,

945
00:39:51,080 --> 00:39:52,440
Speaker 4: we gotta get both sides of the ball.

946
00:39:52,480 --> 00:39:53,160
Speaker 8: Get let's do it.

947
00:39:53,640 --> 00:39:56,839
Speaker 2: I love it. Just a couple of streamers, uh, hook

948
00:39:56,840 --> 00:39:57,160
Speaker 2: it up?

949
00:39:57,239 --> 00:40:00,799
Speaker 1: And yeah, used to used to work together back with

950
00:40:00,840 --> 00:40:02,839
Speaker 1: the Cleveland Browns back in the day before we got

951
00:40:02,880 --> 00:40:04,960
Speaker 1: our big acquisition shook.

952
00:40:06,640 --> 00:40:09,840
Speaker 2: Yeah, thank you, Denzel. I appreciate you.

953
00:40:09,880 --> 00:40:10,319
Speaker 8: Thank you guys.

954
00:40:10,360 --> 00:40:11,640
Speaker 6: Appreciate you guys having me.

955
00:40:13,400 --> 00:40:19,600
Speaker 1: Welcoming in Kyle Hamilton two ap first teams, has a

956
00:40:19,640 --> 00:40:23,080
Speaker 1: second team too in his short four year career. One

957
00:40:23,160 --> 00:40:26,840
Speaker 1: of the best players really in the game. Love having

958
00:40:26,880 --> 00:40:27,440
Speaker 1: you on.

959
00:40:27,840 --> 00:40:28,160
Speaker 2: Kyle.

960
00:40:28,200 --> 00:40:32,319
Speaker 1: You're here talking about Visa, but it's a it's a

961
00:40:32,320 --> 00:40:36,719
Speaker 1: big off season, a transition here for your your Ravens

962
00:40:36,840 --> 00:40:40,959
Speaker 1: will start there. Like, what was your reaction seeing Jesse

963
00:40:41,040 --> 00:40:42,800
Speaker 1: Minner become your your new head coach.

964
00:40:43,840 --> 00:40:45,440
Speaker 10: Well, first off, thank you for having me. Thank you

965
00:40:45,440 --> 00:40:52,160
Speaker 10: for the appreciate it, plustuous introduction. I've met just like

966
00:40:52,200 --> 00:40:55,760
Speaker 10: sparingly with Jesse and a couple of guys from the staff,

967
00:40:56,280 --> 00:40:58,400
Speaker 10: some people that I know I've known from before, some

968
00:40:58,560 --> 00:40:59,160
Speaker 10: that I haven't.

969
00:41:00,000 --> 00:41:00,799
Speaker 8: I think it'll be good for us.

970
00:41:00,800 --> 00:41:03,800
Speaker 10: It's a fresh start for a team organization that hasn't

971
00:41:03,800 --> 00:41:06,920
Speaker 10: had one in a while, so I think everybody's kind

972
00:41:06,920 --> 00:41:08,759
Speaker 10: of looking at it with the right perspective and just

973
00:41:08,760 --> 00:41:09,560
Speaker 10: excited to get the work.

974
00:41:10,080 --> 00:41:11,759
Speaker 9: Yeah, we see you know you obviously play an next

975
00:41:11,760 --> 00:41:14,000
Speaker 9: factor role in this defense. Have you discussed with him

976
00:41:14,000 --> 00:41:16,320
Speaker 9: at all how that might change with his scheme?

977
00:41:16,760 --> 00:41:19,880
Speaker 10: Uh, not too much, honestly, Actually not at all. He

978
00:41:20,040 --> 00:41:21,960
Speaker 10: told me that he's had a plan for me and

979
00:41:21,960 --> 00:41:24,080
Speaker 10: stuff like that, but I'll just leave that for OTAs

980
00:41:24,160 --> 00:41:28,080
Speaker 10: right now. I'll figure out the way I'm playing defense.

981
00:41:28,760 --> 00:41:30,520
Speaker 1: What is a player like you? Obviously you take your

982
00:41:31,000 --> 00:41:34,680
Speaker 1: your job very seriously. You got to the NFL and

983
00:41:34,760 --> 00:41:37,640
Speaker 1: kind of hit the ground running. But when you get

984
00:41:37,680 --> 00:41:40,920
Speaker 1: to the end of one of these seasons, like what

985
00:41:41,080 --> 00:41:43,960
Speaker 1: is the exhale the next the next month, which you're

986
00:41:44,000 --> 00:41:45,919
Speaker 1: you're still I guess kind of kind of in the

987
00:41:45,960 --> 00:41:47,680
Speaker 1: middle of like for you.

988
00:41:47,560 --> 00:41:49,239
Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean I think you're one.

989
00:41:49,360 --> 00:41:51,520
Speaker 10: If you do finish healthy, you're just grateful that you

990
00:41:51,520 --> 00:41:52,400
Speaker 10: can get out healthy.

991
00:41:53,160 --> 00:41:54,680
Speaker 8: That's a big plus.

992
00:41:54,760 --> 00:41:56,960
Speaker 10: Obviously the season didn't add the way we wanted it to,

993
00:41:57,080 --> 00:42:00,200
Speaker 10: and then it's kind of an abrupt end. But I

994
00:42:00,239 --> 00:42:02,920
Speaker 10: think you kind of just transition into you just the

995
00:42:03,000 --> 00:42:06,439
Speaker 10: same a way back to society a little bit. It's

996
00:42:06,480 --> 00:42:08,839
Speaker 10: like you just black out for seven months and then

997
00:42:08,880 --> 00:42:10,120
Speaker 10: you wake up a normal human.

998
00:42:10,200 --> 00:42:14,120
Speaker 1: So I feel that just covering the league, I I

999
00:42:14,120 --> 00:42:15,839
Speaker 1: can't imagine what it's like for you, So you don't

1000
00:42:15,840 --> 00:42:17,400
Speaker 1: even feit, You don't feel like you're a member of

1001
00:42:17,400 --> 00:42:18,759
Speaker 1: a society while you're in the end.

1002
00:42:18,719 --> 00:42:20,520
Speaker 10: Of Yeah, I know, you're kind of just in this

1003
00:42:20,520 --> 00:42:22,759
Speaker 10: little bubble doing your job. My mom always says, I

1004
00:42:22,760 --> 00:42:26,839
Speaker 10: have a seasonal job. So I'm currently out of work.

1005
00:42:27,000 --> 00:42:28,879
Speaker 4: What's the first part in that process of the off

1006
00:42:28,880 --> 00:42:32,480
Speaker 4: season that you get into or you enjoyed the most golfing?

1007
00:42:33,040 --> 00:42:38,320
Speaker 10: Okay, really, because I'm a big golfer, I am hopefully

1008
00:42:38,320 --> 00:42:40,600
Speaker 10: going to join a club in Atlanta, where I'm from,

1009
00:42:40,600 --> 00:42:43,040
Speaker 10: where I live in the off season this offseason, so

1010
00:42:43,280 --> 00:42:45,239
Speaker 10: good to work on my game a lot, but don't

1011
00:42:45,239 --> 00:42:45,680
Speaker 10: play at.

1012
00:42:45,560 --> 00:42:46,320
Speaker 8: All during the season.

1013
00:42:46,560 --> 00:42:48,279
Speaker 10: Don't really have time or energy to go out there

1014
00:42:48,320 --> 00:42:52,279
Speaker 10: for four hours and whack a club around. So but yeah,

1015
00:42:52,480 --> 00:42:55,680
Speaker 10: just golf a lot, play some tennis, play some poobowl,

1016
00:42:55,880 --> 00:42:56,440
Speaker 10: all that stuff.

1017
00:42:56,440 --> 00:42:58,279
Speaker 4: I'm going to ask you the standard question everybody asks

1018
00:42:58,280 --> 00:42:59,280
Speaker 4: when you say you're a golfer.

1019
00:42:59,320 --> 00:43:00,560
Speaker 8: What's your handicap? Uh?

1020
00:43:01,160 --> 00:43:04,399
Speaker 10: When I the season started, I was a five. Oh,

1021
00:43:04,920 --> 00:43:08,680
Speaker 10: so I'm kind of a trending golfer in the offseason,

1022
00:43:08,760 --> 00:43:12,480
Speaker 10: and then it just plummets off the that when football starts.

1023
00:43:12,520 --> 00:43:14,719
Speaker 10: But I mean, I'm probably playing around eight right now,

1024
00:43:14,760 --> 00:43:16,360
Speaker 10: but hopefully I can get that don okay.

1025
00:43:16,200 --> 00:43:18,120
Speaker 2: Oh, he's going to be at that Tahoe Pro am

1026
00:43:18,239 --> 00:43:18,719
Speaker 2: pretty full.

1027
00:43:18,880 --> 00:43:20,839
Speaker 10: Yeah, I hope so at some point. So I gotta

1028
00:43:20,840 --> 00:43:22,720
Speaker 10: fix my short game before that.

1029
00:43:22,719 --> 00:43:22,839
Speaker 5: That.

1030
00:43:24,040 --> 00:43:25,440
Speaker 1: Look, I was gonna say for the end, we're going

1031
00:43:25,520 --> 00:43:28,080
Speaker 1: to get back to like defense and all the supposedly

1032
00:43:28,120 --> 00:43:30,520
Speaker 1: important stuff. But you're mentioning that you're a tennis guy.

1033
00:43:30,640 --> 00:43:32,480
Speaker 1: I mean, you're like a you're a Twitter guy right now.

1034
00:43:32,480 --> 00:43:32,920
Speaker 2: I saw you.

1035
00:43:33,320 --> 00:43:36,760
Speaker 1: I saw your top five list of athletes and other sports,

1036
00:43:37,000 --> 00:43:39,560
Speaker 1: and I love that you put Alcarez in center two

1037
00:43:39,560 --> 00:43:42,480
Speaker 1: and three. You had Showhay one alca Is center two

1038
00:43:42,520 --> 00:43:45,560
Speaker 1: and three, then in Bape and then Shay Golchris Alexander,

1039
00:43:46,120 --> 00:43:48,000
Speaker 1: the respect that you got for center to put him

1040
00:43:48,000 --> 00:43:51,480
Speaker 1: ahead of every single player in the NBA. Like, what's

1041
00:43:51,480 --> 00:43:54,560
Speaker 1: your tennis game? Like, what's your tennis fandom? Like I'm into.

1042
00:43:54,360 --> 00:43:57,440
Speaker 10: This, Yeah it kind of I've always been somewhat a

1043
00:43:57,520 --> 00:43:59,040
Speaker 10: touch and go fan, Like I was a Big Roger

1044
00:43:59,120 --> 00:44:01,680
Speaker 10: guy growing up, but I kind of really only knew

1045
00:44:01,680 --> 00:44:03,800
Speaker 10: the Big Three and I would only watch some Grand

1046
00:44:03,800 --> 00:44:07,239
Speaker 10: Slam tournaments. But I think last year me and my

1047
00:44:07,360 --> 00:44:10,280
Speaker 10: fiance Reese, where we literally sat down and watched the whole.

1048
00:44:10,080 --> 00:44:10,920
Speaker 8: French Open final.

1049
00:44:10,960 --> 00:44:15,120
Speaker 10: Wow, all five and a half hours watching the right yeah,

1050
00:44:15,120 --> 00:44:16,240
Speaker 10: I know exactly.

1051
00:44:15,960 --> 00:44:17,399
Speaker 8: And the Titanic one.

1052
00:44:18,640 --> 00:44:21,360
Speaker 10: But now we watched that, and then we went to

1053
00:44:21,440 --> 00:44:26,000
Speaker 10: London and saw Wimbledon in person, so playing, so I'm

1054
00:44:26,040 --> 00:44:30,359
Speaker 10: like literally watching like ATP two fifty tournaments, you're deep

1055
00:44:30,440 --> 00:44:34,400
Speaker 10: in that, like midnight, and so I'm kind of definitely

1056
00:44:34,480 --> 00:44:37,080
Speaker 10: deep into tennis right now. Not not good at playing

1057
00:44:37,160 --> 00:44:40,000
Speaker 10: it yet, but hopefully it will be. But I think

1058
00:44:40,040 --> 00:44:42,960
Speaker 10: I put Carlos and two and three just because like

1059
00:44:42,960 --> 00:44:45,719
Speaker 10: they're so dominant right now, and I think dominance is

1060
00:44:45,719 --> 00:44:47,600
Speaker 10: a big thing. When I made that top five list,

1061
00:44:47,640 --> 00:44:50,359
Speaker 10: like show A one he had ten strikeouts in three

1062
00:44:50,600 --> 00:44:54,160
Speaker 10: home runs or was that the NLCS That.

1063
00:44:54,239 --> 00:44:55,880
Speaker 2: Was the NLCS clincher.

1064
00:44:56,040 --> 00:44:58,200
Speaker 8: Yeah, that's great, all right?

1065
00:44:58,239 --> 00:45:00,560
Speaker 3: So where are we putt Kyle Hamilton at this list?

1066
00:45:01,120 --> 00:45:03,200
Speaker 10: Where do you end up at your peak? I'm a

1067
00:45:03,239 --> 00:45:06,439
Speaker 10: couple of pages down that list. I mean, hopefully I'll

1068
00:45:06,440 --> 00:45:07,040
Speaker 10: crack the.

1069
00:45:06,960 --> 00:45:10,440
Speaker 3: Top like current or like talking about your peak. Let's

1070
00:45:10,480 --> 00:45:12,080
Speaker 3: let's be aspirational.

1071
00:45:11,520 --> 00:45:13,880
Speaker 8: Here, Okay, I mean hopefully I ver top fifty.

1072
00:45:14,000 --> 00:45:15,839
Speaker 2: That's okay, Oh that's low.

1073
00:45:16,000 --> 00:45:19,400
Speaker 10: I mean football is an American domin I'm thinking all

1074
00:45:19,440 --> 00:45:19,640
Speaker 10: like the.

1075
00:45:19,640 --> 00:45:23,000
Speaker 2: Look, yeah I like it, and like an American that's

1076
00:45:23,040 --> 00:45:23,560
Speaker 2: not like.

1077
00:45:23,760 --> 00:45:25,840
Speaker 8: I forgot, I forgot?

1078
00:45:25,880 --> 00:45:26,520
Speaker 2: Who do you forget?

1079
00:45:26,680 --> 00:45:30,279
Speaker 8: Katie? Okay? Yeah, yeah yeah.

1080
00:45:30,520 --> 00:45:32,400
Speaker 1: When she's like you don't even see the other swimmer

1081
00:45:32,400 --> 00:45:34,279
Speaker 1: on the screen, that's that's fair.

1082
00:45:34,360 --> 00:45:37,120
Speaker 2: Look if you if you keep racking up these honors.

1083
00:45:37,239 --> 00:45:41,840
Speaker 1: I'm into tracking greatness, tracking different great players, how great

1084
00:45:41,920 --> 00:45:45,840
Speaker 1: career go. Like you're starting to stack And I know

1085
00:45:45,880 --> 00:45:47,440
Speaker 1: it's early. You don't want to get ahead of yourself,

1086
00:45:47,440 --> 00:45:50,440
Speaker 1: but you're you're stacking. What what great players do? There

1087
00:45:50,480 --> 00:45:53,480
Speaker 1: aren't many players that come into the league that stack

1088
00:45:53,560 --> 00:45:55,280
Speaker 1: these sort of honors like yourself.

1089
00:45:55,480 --> 00:45:57,640
Speaker 2: It's awesome and I can't think of another player.

1090
00:45:57,640 --> 00:46:00,279
Speaker 1: And I wonder what you think of this that in

1091
00:46:00,360 --> 00:46:03,319
Speaker 1: back to back seasons and maybe you tell me if

1092
00:46:03,320 --> 00:46:05,920
Speaker 1: the media is over simplifying it back to back seasons.

1093
00:46:05,920 --> 00:46:08,279
Speaker 1: There's kind of been points of the Ravens seasons where

1094
00:46:08,280 --> 00:46:11,000
Speaker 1: it's like, hey, we got to go fix something. Let's

1095
00:46:11,040 --> 00:46:15,600
Speaker 1: have Kyle operate a little differently. Let's let's let's move

1096
00:46:15,640 --> 00:46:17,319
Speaker 1: Kyle to a different part of the field. Let's change

1097
00:46:17,360 --> 00:46:20,440
Speaker 1: Kyle's assignment a little bit, and that'll fix a defense

1098
00:46:21,080 --> 00:46:24,320
Speaker 1: and then it kind of does help improve the defense.

1099
00:46:24,520 --> 00:46:26,920
Speaker 1: Are we are we getting that and what does that

1100
00:46:26,960 --> 00:46:28,720
Speaker 1: mean to have that sort of responsibility.

1101
00:46:28,920 --> 00:46:32,000
Speaker 10: Yeah, I think I think it's a little. I mean,

1102
00:46:32,280 --> 00:46:34,080
Speaker 10: I'm not on Twitter during the year, so I kind

1103
00:46:34,080 --> 00:46:37,560
Speaker 10: of just get my news sports news here said just

1104
00:46:37,600 --> 00:46:39,720
Speaker 10: from our media team and all that stuff. Whatever I'm saying,

1105
00:46:40,480 --> 00:46:42,520
Speaker 10: But I mean, I think it's there's a little true

1106
00:46:42,560 --> 00:46:44,400
Speaker 10: to it. I think that's why the Ravens drafted me

1107
00:46:44,520 --> 00:46:46,520
Speaker 10: just to be able to kind of be a guy

1108
00:46:46,520 --> 00:46:49,120
Speaker 10: a Swiss army knife gets thrown around a lot and

1109
00:46:49,280 --> 00:46:51,960
Speaker 10: be able to move around and you know, kind.

1110
00:46:51,800 --> 00:46:53,560
Speaker 8: Of be the flex seal of some sorts.

1111
00:46:54,560 --> 00:46:57,120
Speaker 10: But it's it's it sounds cliche, but it's really a

1112
00:46:57,120 --> 00:47:00,600
Speaker 10: team solution and a defensive solution, and that comes with

1113
00:47:00,680 --> 00:47:03,320
Speaker 10: guys just gelling together, and you know, we try to

1114
00:47:03,360 --> 00:47:07,400
Speaker 10: trend upwards throughout the season and rookies start getting more

1115
00:47:07,440 --> 00:47:09,640
Speaker 10: comfortable and stuff like that. So I mean, there's a

1116
00:47:09,640 --> 00:47:12,520
Speaker 10: lot to do with the turnarounds that happened.

1117
00:47:12,640 --> 00:47:14,160
Speaker 4: Now I'm just sitting here thinking whether you're like the

1118
00:47:14,200 --> 00:47:16,799
Speaker 4: flex seal tape or you're like the calk that they

1119
00:47:17,680 --> 00:47:20,799
Speaker 4: all those different commercials the other The big narrative last

1120
00:47:20,840 --> 00:47:23,759
Speaker 4: year two regarding you was how the acquisition of a

1121
00:47:23,760 --> 00:47:26,080
Speaker 4: Looie Gilman allowed them to really free you up and

1122
00:47:26,120 --> 00:47:28,880
Speaker 4: do whatever they wanted to do with you. Now, we

1123
00:47:28,920 --> 00:47:30,839
Speaker 4: already kind of talked about how we don't really know

1124
00:47:31,320 --> 00:47:31,759
Speaker 4: yet what.

1125
00:47:31,760 --> 00:47:33,920
Speaker 3: It's going to look like, but how does that make

1126
00:47:33,920 --> 00:47:34,279
Speaker 3: you feel?

1127
00:47:34,280 --> 00:47:37,160
Speaker 9: Knowing that you can have that much of an impact

1128
00:47:37,200 --> 00:47:39,640
Speaker 9: on a defense that when everybody looks at the Ravens defense,

1129
00:47:39,680 --> 00:47:42,120
Speaker 9: they key on you. They're like, we Hamilton, whatever he's doing,

1130
00:47:42,160 --> 00:47:43,200
Speaker 9: we have to stop him first.

1131
00:47:43,280 --> 00:47:43,480
Speaker 8: Yeah.

1132
00:47:43,520 --> 00:47:45,759
Speaker 10: No, it's pretty cool and I'm blessed just with the

1133
00:47:45,800 --> 00:47:48,960
Speaker 10: ability to do what I'm able to do. And to

1134
00:47:49,040 --> 00:47:52,759
Speaker 10: your point, Low Low, he was a senior when I

1135
00:47:52,760 --> 00:47:54,399
Speaker 10: was a freshman, not dame, so it was really cool,

1136
00:47:54,440 --> 00:47:55,799
Speaker 10: cool to be able to play with him again. He's

1137
00:47:55,840 --> 00:47:59,000
Speaker 10: like a big brother type to me, you know, talking

1138
00:47:59,000 --> 00:48:01,040
Speaker 10: me off the ledge, my fresh when you're camp and

1139
00:48:01,080 --> 00:48:03,480
Speaker 10: I'm like, dude, yeah, I'm like, I don't know if

1140
00:48:03,480 --> 00:48:06,000
Speaker 10: this is for me, and he's like, exactly what you said.

1141
00:48:06,040 --> 00:48:06,920
Speaker 8: We've all been through it.

1142
00:48:06,960 --> 00:48:09,960
Speaker 10: But yeah, I mean just being able to do all

1143
00:48:09,960 --> 00:48:13,600
Speaker 10: that stuff is really rewarding. And you know, the coaching

1144
00:48:13,640 --> 00:48:15,480
Speaker 10: staff has had a lot of trust in me to

1145
00:48:15,560 --> 00:48:18,080
Speaker 10: be out out there doing multiple things because it's a

1146
00:48:18,080 --> 00:48:21,240
Speaker 10: lot to know and a lot to apply from practice

1147
00:48:21,239 --> 00:48:22,640
Speaker 10: to game day, and you got to kind of have

1148
00:48:22,719 --> 00:48:25,960
Speaker 10: these folders like boxes in your mind that you kind

1149
00:48:25,960 --> 00:48:27,600
Speaker 10: of turn off and turn on from play to play.

1150
00:48:27,640 --> 00:48:31,440
Speaker 10: So appreciate them for just entrusting me with that amount

1151
00:48:31,560 --> 00:48:32,040
Speaker 10: of trust.

1152
00:48:32,400 --> 00:48:35,160
Speaker 1: In the defense, I like how I shook Nick uh

1153
00:48:35,920 --> 00:48:37,319
Speaker 1: Is like, oh, yeah, we've all been through it.

1154
00:48:37,360 --> 00:48:40,480
Speaker 2: Like we all. I haven't been through it, but Nick can.

1155
00:48:40,440 --> 00:48:43,200
Speaker 3: Say that just showing up looks at.

1156
00:48:43,120 --> 00:48:45,600
Speaker 4: You at the level and you're just like, oh, I'm

1157
00:48:45,640 --> 00:48:46,920
Speaker 4: ready for this, and you show up You're like.

1158
00:48:46,840 --> 00:48:49,280
Speaker 9: Oh my god, Yeah this is not what I expected.

1159
00:48:49,360 --> 00:48:50,919
Speaker 2: Am I cut out for that? That?

1160
00:48:50,920 --> 00:48:52,640
Speaker 1: That's what I thought when I showed up for the

1161
00:48:52,680 --> 00:48:55,320
Speaker 1: two lane tennis team, and then I wasn't cut.

1162
00:48:55,120 --> 00:48:55,520
Speaker 8: Out for you.

1163
00:48:55,520 --> 00:48:57,239
Speaker 2: We all go through it. I was, I was right.

1164
00:48:58,880 --> 00:49:02,839
Speaker 1: Look, Jesse Minner has talked about you specifically, and maybe

1165
00:49:02,840 --> 00:49:05,000
Speaker 1: he hasn't gotten in depth of like what your role

1166
00:49:05,080 --> 00:49:06,840
Speaker 1: is going to be like face to face with you.

1167
00:49:06,880 --> 00:49:08,399
Speaker 1: And this is an in depth but in his press

1168
00:49:08,440 --> 00:49:10,880
Speaker 1: conference he he classified you as a weapon and he

1169
00:49:10,960 --> 00:49:14,360
Speaker 1: and he said the closer we can have him to

1170
00:49:14,360 --> 00:49:18,799
Speaker 1: the point of attack, that the better. Essentially that that's

1171
00:49:18,840 --> 00:49:21,200
Speaker 1: what we want. That's that's what we can use him

1172
00:49:21,600 --> 00:49:24,480
Speaker 1: as a weapon. When you when you hear that, what

1173
00:49:24,480 --> 00:49:25,279
Speaker 1: does that make you think?

1174
00:49:25,760 --> 00:49:29,040
Speaker 10: Yeah, No, it's it's awesome to have people and it

1175
00:49:29,120 --> 00:49:31,480
Speaker 10: kind of comes with time and you know, obviously playing well,

1176
00:49:31,520 --> 00:49:32,880
Speaker 10: but just people around the league.

1177
00:49:32,680 --> 00:49:33,440
Speaker 8: Who think high leave you.

1178
00:49:33,560 --> 00:49:36,120
Speaker 10: I think that's like the greatest achievement you can have

1179
00:49:36,920 --> 00:49:40,440
Speaker 10: players one coaches to like just opinions of people in

1180
00:49:40,480 --> 00:49:42,960
Speaker 10: your business, in your industry that respect you for what

1181
00:49:43,000 --> 00:49:45,080
Speaker 10: you do and your product that you put out there.

1182
00:49:45,120 --> 00:49:48,120
Speaker 10: But I think it's it's good to know that he

1183
00:49:48,160 --> 00:49:50,000
Speaker 10: has a plan and I've seen what he's done done

1184
00:49:50,000 --> 00:49:52,760
Speaker 10: with Derwin and you know, people say we're similar players

1185
00:49:52,760 --> 00:49:55,520
Speaker 10: and stuff like that, and yeah, I think it's kind

1186
00:49:55,520 --> 00:49:57,319
Speaker 10: of the way the direction of the game's going. I

1187
00:49:57,320 --> 00:50:00,239
Speaker 10: think people like Nick even Warr's coming to the league

1188
00:50:00,239 --> 00:50:03,080
Speaker 10: and made an impact from you know, the first game

1189
00:50:03,160 --> 00:50:05,880
Speaker 10: he's played about to have a big impact on Sunday,

1190
00:50:06,120 --> 00:50:08,319
Speaker 10: and I think it's kind of a cool direction that

1191
00:50:08,360 --> 00:50:11,640
Speaker 10: the league's going. Like you have these jack of all

1192
00:50:11,680 --> 00:50:14,680
Speaker 10: trade players offense and defense. You know, guys line up

1193
00:50:14,680 --> 00:50:16,880
Speaker 10: in the backfield that are usually just that ex receiver.

1194
00:50:17,000 --> 00:50:19,320
Speaker 10: It's it's a different game. I'm sure at some point,

1195
00:50:19,440 --> 00:50:21,440
Speaker 10: you know, like everything else, that will revert back to

1196
00:50:21,760 --> 00:50:23,319
Speaker 10: what it used to be. But right now, I think

1197
00:50:23,360 --> 00:50:25,360
Speaker 10: that's kind of the niche factor.

1198
00:50:25,640 --> 00:50:28,040
Speaker 1: And have you watched him and worry at all? I have, Yeah,

1199
00:50:28,080 --> 00:50:30,560
Speaker 1: any thoughts about.

1200
00:50:29,800 --> 00:50:30,360
Speaker 2: What he does?

1201
00:50:30,480 --> 00:50:32,040
Speaker 8: Yeah, No, dude's a freak. He's uh.

1202
00:50:32,800 --> 00:50:36,520
Speaker 10: I know Mike Mack who's with us in Baltimore and

1203
00:50:36,840 --> 00:50:39,000
Speaker 10: kind of deploys him similarly to the way that Mike

1204
00:50:39,160 --> 00:50:39,920
Speaker 10: was dealing with me.

1205
00:50:40,040 --> 00:50:43,080
Speaker 8: But he's fast with me.

1206
00:50:44,440 --> 00:50:47,719
Speaker 10: You know, he's definitely definitely more energetic out there than me,

1207
00:50:47,840 --> 00:50:49,960
Speaker 10: Like he's as a rookie to be out there like

1208
00:50:50,320 --> 00:50:52,959
Speaker 10: bang his helmet and like talking trash all this stuff.

1209
00:50:53,000 --> 00:50:55,000
Speaker 10: I was kind of just like, I didn't make sure

1210
00:50:55,000 --> 00:50:57,759
Speaker 10: I'm doing the right thing. But it's pretty cool to

1211
00:50:57,760 --> 00:51:00,239
Speaker 10: see a player like that and just young, say, these

1212
00:51:00,239 --> 00:51:02,439
Speaker 10: young dvs in the league like Xavier Wats with Notre

1213
00:51:02,520 --> 00:51:05,520
Speaker 10: Dame with me making plays from early in the league.

1214
00:51:05,600 --> 00:51:06,680
Speaker 8: So it's cool to see these guys.

1215
00:51:06,719 --> 00:51:08,839
Speaker 9: Yeah, that's another guy's a dog, Jamie Watts. I thought

1216
00:51:08,960 --> 00:51:11,120
Speaker 9: he was on the board way too long and the draft. Yeah,

1217
00:51:11,360 --> 00:51:13,560
Speaker 9: happy to see him find success. When you watch even

1218
00:51:13,600 --> 00:51:16,000
Speaker 9: more in the Seahawks defense, do you kind of feel

1219
00:51:16,000 --> 00:51:17,120
Speaker 9: like you're looking in the mirror a little bit?

1220
00:51:17,520 --> 00:51:17,800
Speaker 8: Yeah?

1221
00:51:17,880 --> 00:51:20,319
Speaker 10: Yeah, I mean it does remind me a little bit

1222
00:51:20,320 --> 00:51:22,400
Speaker 10: of our twenty three defense, just obviously.

1223
00:51:22,080 --> 00:51:23,520
Speaker 8: Because Mike was calling that defense.

1224
00:51:24,840 --> 00:51:26,520
Speaker 10: At the end of the day, it's Jimmy's and Joe's

1225
00:51:26,520 --> 00:51:28,400
Speaker 10: not exits and those, so you know, you could have

1226
00:51:28,440 --> 00:51:30,200
Speaker 10: the perfect defense. If you don't got the right guys

1227
00:51:30,200 --> 00:51:32,480
Speaker 10: out there, then it's not gonna work. So credit to

1228
00:51:32,520 --> 00:51:35,239
Speaker 10: that Seattle defense. They fly around. It seems like they

1229
00:51:35,320 --> 00:51:38,080
Speaker 10: joke really well together at all three levels. They got

1230
00:51:38,120 --> 00:51:40,360
Speaker 10: a lot of talent. I think it's gonna be a

1231
00:51:40,360 --> 00:51:42,120
Speaker 10: good game on Sunday. You guys don't asked me my

1232
00:51:42,160 --> 00:51:44,720
Speaker 10: opinion of the game, but that's kind of how I feel.

1233
00:51:45,800 --> 00:51:46,920
Speaker 8: You can just go with it.

1234
00:51:47,160 --> 00:51:49,640
Speaker 2: If you're on a podcast, let's go, let's get some

1235
00:51:49,680 --> 00:51:50,120
Speaker 2: hot takes.

1236
00:51:50,200 --> 00:51:52,000
Speaker 8: Yeah, I mean, I don't have a I honestly don't

1237
00:51:52,000 --> 00:51:52,719
Speaker 8: know who's going to win.

1238
00:51:52,719 --> 00:51:54,520
Speaker 10: The game. I mean, we played the Patriots. They're a

1239
00:51:54,560 --> 00:51:58,400
Speaker 10: good team, Drake's good and you know that defense. Again,

1240
00:51:58,440 --> 00:52:01,080
Speaker 10: their defense plays really well together. And I feel like

1241
00:52:01,120 --> 00:52:04,520
Speaker 10: every every Playoff game they played so far, the whole

1242
00:52:04,520 --> 00:52:07,080
Speaker 10: story has been about the other teams defense, and then

1243
00:52:07,200 --> 00:52:08,799
Speaker 10: they come out there and they dominate. So I feel

1244
00:52:08,800 --> 00:52:10,120
Speaker 10: like they kind of have that chip on their shoulder.

1245
00:52:10,160 --> 00:52:13,080
Speaker 1: What did you key on in that late season game

1246
00:52:13,120 --> 00:52:15,560
Speaker 1: against the Patriots, you know, in your week of prep

1247
00:52:15,600 --> 00:52:17,279
Speaker 1: and then and then on the field when when you're

1248
00:52:17,320 --> 00:52:18,320
Speaker 1: going against Drake May.

1249
00:52:18,760 --> 00:52:23,080
Speaker 10: Yeah, I think one, you know, very bool and just McDaniels.

1250
00:52:23,239 --> 00:52:25,440
Speaker 10: You got to stop the run first and stop They

1251
00:52:25,440 --> 00:52:27,600
Speaker 10: have a great running back tandem, and you know they

1252
00:52:27,640 --> 00:52:31,000
Speaker 10: play off each other really well. Drake is gonna make

1253
00:52:31,040 --> 00:52:33,600
Speaker 10: plays throughout the game. I think it's for us. Like

1254
00:52:33,680 --> 00:52:36,240
Speaker 10: going into the game, we were just trying to limit

1255
00:52:36,440 --> 00:52:40,040
Speaker 10: explosives because they're a very explosive pass game and run game.

1256
00:52:40,080 --> 00:52:42,360
Speaker 10: Like you give Trevon Henderson the screen you can go eighty,

1257
00:52:42,520 --> 00:52:44,840
Speaker 10: So limited explosives, kind of just trying to make them

1258
00:52:44,920 --> 00:52:45,520
Speaker 10: drive down the field.

1259
00:52:45,520 --> 00:52:46,160
Speaker 8: But that's easier, so.

1260
00:52:46,280 --> 00:52:47,080
Speaker 2: We camped them.

1261
00:52:47,080 --> 00:52:48,600
Speaker 1: Tell me, if you think the screen a little bit

1262
00:52:48,640 --> 00:52:51,279
Speaker 1: to your Ravens offense, which is like, yeah, they get

1263
00:52:51,680 --> 00:52:52,880
Speaker 1: we like to say they get buckets.

1264
00:52:52,880 --> 00:52:55,560
Speaker 2: They're not like they're not like a move the ball

1265
00:52:55,600 --> 00:52:56,440
Speaker 2: down the field.

1266
00:52:58,520 --> 00:53:02,600
Speaker 1: Off but obviously an athletic quarterback. There's differences, but like,

1267
00:53:02,880 --> 00:53:04,919
Speaker 1: but there are some similarities. I thought to what your

1268
00:53:05,040 --> 00:53:05,839
Speaker 1: your offense did it?

1269
00:53:06,000 --> 00:53:07,080
Speaker 8: Yeah, for sure, I can see that.

1270
00:53:08,680 --> 00:53:12,480
Speaker 1: Kyle Hamilton, he's representing Visa here. Uh, he's a big

1271
00:53:12,520 --> 00:53:15,879
Speaker 1: tennis fan. He's a tennis player. The handicaps going down,

1272
00:53:15,960 --> 00:53:19,359
Speaker 1: he's working on it. He he's he's a Novak guy too.

1273
00:53:19,480 --> 00:53:20,719
Speaker 1: It sounds like, uh.

1274
00:53:22,040 --> 00:53:23,919
Speaker 8: Novak, I'm a Roger guy.

1275
00:53:23,960 --> 00:53:29,440
Speaker 1: Okay, good, I appreciate that. Appreciate Kyle Hamilton joining us.

Speaker 1: went to college in the Bay Area, but anyone kind

1298
00:54:26,280 --> 00:54:29,719
Speaker 1: of walking in because the concentration of star power this

1299
00:54:29,840 --> 00:54:32,360
Speaker 1: year in this radio, for whatever reason, seems to me

1300
00:54:32,600 --> 00:54:35,320
Speaker 1: like overwhelming more than any other any dude.

1301
00:54:35,320 --> 00:54:38,640
Speaker 8: So I've literally walked in maybe ten fifteen minutes ago.

1302
00:54:38,800 --> 00:54:41,880
Speaker 7: So everybody that I've seen is like just old teammates,

1303
00:54:42,600 --> 00:54:45,200
Speaker 7: saw our GM Like I don't know, there's so many

1304
00:54:45,200 --> 00:54:47,920
Speaker 7: people that are just mingling and then it's like you

1305
00:54:48,000 --> 00:54:50,360
Speaker 7: run into somebody and it's like, oh hey, yeah.

1306
00:54:50,640 --> 00:54:54,480
Speaker 5: I've seen Nick Cassario just walking around just enjoying life,

1307
00:54:54,640 --> 00:54:56,760
Speaker 5: like on the ground doing he's scouting.

1308
00:54:56,840 --> 00:54:59,399
Speaker 8: He's got the same outfit on that he's had every day.

1309
00:54:59,520 --> 00:55:04,000
Speaker 5: Yeah, the shoes, the joggers, sure, and the vest it's

1310
00:55:04,000 --> 00:55:07,640
Speaker 5: like he's ready to man, does he have actually think

1311
00:55:07,920 --> 00:55:09,200
Speaker 5: like it's the same? Is it the same?

1312
00:55:09,320 --> 00:55:09,839
Speaker 8: The same one?

1313
00:55:09,840 --> 00:55:12,360
Speaker 7: It's probably He's probably got like five of them, so

1314
00:55:12,400 --> 00:55:14,200
Speaker 7: when one gets sweaty, he just throws it out and

1315
00:55:14,200 --> 00:55:15,040
Speaker 7: he puts the next one on.

1316
00:55:15,120 --> 00:55:16,120
Speaker 8: It looks exactly the same.

1317
00:55:16,280 --> 00:55:16,920
Speaker 5: It's amazing.

1318
00:55:17,680 --> 00:55:19,120
Speaker 8: He's got to have a brain something.

1319
00:55:19,200 --> 00:55:20,480
Speaker 5: Cat's a wardrobe right there.

1320
00:55:20,560 --> 00:55:23,359
Speaker 2: Yeah, how how is this season for you?

1321
00:55:23,360 --> 00:55:25,680
Speaker 1: You got, like I kind of mentioned it off the top,

1322
00:55:25,840 --> 00:55:28,080
Speaker 1: like a lot of production, a lot of attention, a

1323
00:55:28,120 --> 00:55:30,200
Speaker 1: lot of targets, a lot of catches, a lot of

1324
00:55:30,280 --> 00:55:33,279
Speaker 1: a lot of Dalton Salts on the field this year

1325
00:55:33,440 --> 00:55:34,120
Speaker 1: as a receiver.

1326
00:55:34,719 --> 00:55:36,520
Speaker 2: I guess maybe what was different for you?

1327
00:55:36,560 --> 00:55:40,000
Speaker 1: Like what will you remember about this twenty five season

1328
00:55:40,480 --> 00:55:42,839
Speaker 1: for yourself and the team compared to other ones?

1329
00:55:44,120 --> 00:55:44,440
Speaker 8: I don't know.

1330
00:55:44,600 --> 00:55:47,400
Speaker 7: It's still not it's still not over how it ended, honestly,

1331
00:55:47,680 --> 00:55:53,000
Speaker 7: Like we're ball players, like we're competitive. Obviously every year

1332
00:55:53,800 --> 00:55:55,920
Speaker 7: it's going to end at some point, whether it's you know,

1333
00:55:56,080 --> 00:55:58,000
Speaker 7: you're the one team on top or you're not. But

1334
00:55:59,360 --> 00:56:01,520
Speaker 7: it's hard to like look at a year and be like,

1335
00:56:02,080 --> 00:56:04,200
Speaker 7: oh wow, that was so great when like I don't know.

1336
00:56:04,320 --> 00:56:08,120
Speaker 7: I felt like we underachieved, like we had such a

1337
00:56:08,120 --> 00:56:11,640
Speaker 7: good team and it sucks that team will never be,

1338
00:56:12,200 --> 00:56:15,840
Speaker 7: you know, together again. So yeah, you asked that question,

1339
00:56:15,880 --> 00:56:20,520
Speaker 7: and like my mind first immediately went to, like, God, I'm.

1340
00:56:20,320 --> 00:56:20,800
Speaker 8: Not over it.

1341
00:56:21,719 --> 00:56:24,840
Speaker 1: My son's not either. I am surprised it took me

1342
00:56:24,920 --> 00:56:26,960
Speaker 1: this long to say it. He's a Texans fan, so

1343
00:56:27,000 --> 00:56:28,320
Speaker 1: he's very excited.

1344
00:56:29,200 --> 00:56:30,160
Speaker 8: I share his sentiments.

1345
00:56:30,280 --> 00:56:32,279
Speaker 2: Yeah, that you're on the show. He does not want

1346
00:56:32,320 --> 00:56:33,239
Speaker 2: to watch the super Bowl.

1347
00:56:33,280 --> 00:56:35,840
Speaker 1: He does not every want to root for the Patriots

1348
00:56:35,840 --> 00:56:39,440
Speaker 1: again in the game. He hates them forever. But but

1349
00:56:39,680 --> 00:56:42,680
Speaker 1: he is a big fan of of you, of CJ.

1350
00:56:43,080 --> 00:56:47,959
Speaker 1: Have you have you seen the CJ new haircut around.

1351
00:56:48,840 --> 00:56:49,520
Speaker 1: It's a big change.

1352
00:56:49,560 --> 00:56:50,200
Speaker 8: That's huge change.

1353
00:56:50,239 --> 00:56:52,120
Speaker 1: That might be a change that might be a sign

1354
00:56:52,160 --> 00:56:53,520
Speaker 1: he's not over the playoff last night.

1355
00:56:53,560 --> 00:56:53,799
Speaker 8: Rookie.

1356
00:56:54,640 --> 00:56:58,160
Speaker 5: Yeah, that's like, you know, just let me explain hair

1357
00:56:58,239 --> 00:57:00,839
Speaker 5: to you guys right now. But like when girls get

1358
00:57:00,880 --> 00:57:05,160
Speaker 5: bangs there, you're like, are you okay? It's like this case.

1359
00:57:06,080 --> 00:57:08,600
Speaker 7: My wife over there got bangs last year. She's like, yeah,

1360
00:57:08,640 --> 00:57:10,080
Speaker 7: I just did it on a limb. I said the

1361
00:57:10,080 --> 00:57:13,480
Speaker 7: same thing. I was like, you could all right, So we.

1362
00:57:13,480 --> 00:57:14,839
Speaker 5: Sad some psychology here.

1363
00:57:14,960 --> 00:57:17,439
Speaker 7: Yeah, Well we started dating when she had like kind

1364
00:57:17,440 --> 00:57:20,400
Speaker 7: of like shoulder length hair and it was orange.

1365
00:57:21,040 --> 00:57:21,960
Speaker 8: She had orange hair.

1366
00:57:22,160 --> 00:57:22,680
Speaker 4: Good for her?

1367
00:57:23,400 --> 00:57:25,280
Speaker 8: Well, it was like a diet, like.

1368
00:57:25,320 --> 00:57:27,160
Speaker 5: I know, good for her. Very few people can.

1369
00:57:27,440 --> 00:57:29,400
Speaker 8: She's like, yeah, I just kept it rock with it.

1370
00:57:29,560 --> 00:57:31,320
Speaker 7: But it was because she was going through like a

1371
00:57:31,360 --> 00:57:34,440
Speaker 7: breakup or something, so like she had another hair change.

1372
00:57:34,480 --> 00:57:38,000
Speaker 8: I was like, what's going on. We're good, We're good,

1373
00:57:38,040 --> 00:57:39,680
Speaker 8: right see.

1374
00:57:39,680 --> 00:57:41,880
Speaker 5: But that first of all, love her confidence, by the

1375
00:57:41,920 --> 00:57:43,880
Speaker 5: way on that one. But but second of all, like

1376
00:57:44,280 --> 00:57:46,880
Speaker 5: I got to spend a little time with Houston because

1377
00:57:46,960 --> 00:57:50,080
Speaker 5: I covered that Chargers game. You guys dominated the Chargers

1378
00:57:50,160 --> 00:57:52,840
Speaker 5: so by stadium, and like when I was in that

1379
00:57:52,880 --> 00:57:54,800
Speaker 5: locker room, I just felt, is there so much joy

1380
00:57:54,840 --> 00:57:57,400
Speaker 5: in there? And yes, winning is fun, but like everyone

1381
00:57:57,400 --> 00:58:01,960
Speaker 5: felt so connected and it wasn't necessarily a you know,

1382
00:58:02,160 --> 00:58:04,840
Speaker 5: record breaking day on the offensive side, but there was

1383
00:58:04,880 --> 00:58:09,480
Speaker 5: no finger pointing. Everyone felt so just like full of

1384
00:58:09,520 --> 00:58:12,040
Speaker 5: life for the mission at hand and for each other.

1385
00:58:12,120 --> 00:58:14,120
Speaker 5: And I guess like that must be where some of

1386
00:58:14,160 --> 00:58:17,520
Speaker 5: this is coming from, because it's like, shoot, you know,

1387
00:58:17,680 --> 00:58:20,760
Speaker 5: like that that's what that energy was. That's championship caliber

1388
00:58:21,040 --> 00:58:22,200
Speaker 5: energy within a locker room.

1389
00:58:22,240 --> 00:58:25,520
Speaker 8: Yep, and that just it just felt like in the shot. Yeah,

1390
00:58:25,560 --> 00:58:28,120
Speaker 8: like you don't you don't get those ops all the time.

1391
00:58:28,200 --> 00:58:32,120
Speaker 8: And we had the roster for it, like it's nobody's

1392
00:58:32,160 --> 00:58:34,600
Speaker 8: fault but ours, you know, and that we fell short.

1393
00:58:34,640 --> 00:58:39,840
Speaker 7: But yeah, like it was very very selfless team. You know,

1394
00:58:40,560 --> 00:58:42,520
Speaker 7: we had a lot of really good leaders on that team.

1395
00:58:43,440 --> 00:58:45,400
Speaker 5: Yeah. Can you expand on that, because it seems like

1396
00:58:45,440 --> 00:58:48,320
Speaker 5: every pocket of where anywhere you turn on that roster,

1397
00:58:48,400 --> 00:58:50,880
Speaker 5: there's somebody who is of that caliber.

1398
00:58:51,000 --> 00:58:52,720
Speaker 8: Yeah, I mean it was it was well put together.

1399
00:58:52,760 --> 00:58:54,720
Speaker 7: I mean we were talking about Nick earlier, but like, dude,

1400
00:58:54,720 --> 00:58:59,440
Speaker 7: he assembled, you know, an amazing team that was kind

1401
00:58:59,440 --> 00:59:04,520
Speaker 7: of forged through Demiko's leadership at the forefront. But just

1402
00:59:04,560 --> 00:59:07,080
Speaker 7: like how training camp went, how the offseason was, like

1403
00:59:08,640 --> 00:59:11,240
Speaker 7: it was never like it was always about the end goal,

1404
00:59:11,800 --> 00:59:16,000
Speaker 7: but it was never about the end goal in front,

1405
00:59:16,040 --> 00:59:18,480
Speaker 7: Like it was always how do we get through today,

1406
00:59:18,800 --> 00:59:20,440
Speaker 7: how do we have the best Like it was always

1407
00:59:20,560 --> 00:59:24,400
Speaker 7: very processed driven, even though that we started with that

1408
00:59:24,480 --> 00:59:27,000
Speaker 7: in mind, but it was it was almost never touched

1409
00:59:27,000 --> 00:59:29,960
Speaker 7: on again until like we got into the playoffs of

1410
00:59:30,040 --> 00:59:32,320
Speaker 7: like all right, like this is what it's been about

1411
00:59:32,640 --> 00:59:33,120
Speaker 7: trying to do.

1412
00:59:33,640 --> 00:59:37,200
Speaker 1: You came in with Demiko, right, yeah, yeah three years ago,

1413
00:59:37,240 --> 00:59:39,600
Speaker 1: So is that part of it? Like it it's like

1414
00:59:39,600 --> 00:59:42,040
Speaker 1: you've been building to this. I do wonder and this

1415
00:59:42,120 --> 00:59:46,440
Speaker 1: is more of a fan thing. If the way the

1416
00:59:46,480 --> 00:59:51,240
Speaker 1: AFC felt this year has anything to do with it,

1417
00:59:51,320 --> 00:59:53,760
Speaker 1: because I agree with you, like a lot of people

1418
00:59:54,000 --> 00:59:55,800
Speaker 1: Jordan included, she picked you guys to.

1419
00:59:55,840 --> 00:59:58,960
Speaker 2: Make the Super Bowl. I think thought the Texans are

1420
00:59:58,960 --> 00:59:59,640
Speaker 2: that superwol team.

1421
00:59:59,640 --> 01:00:02,240
Speaker 1: But plenty have smart people thought, oh the Jaguars could

1422
01:00:02,240 --> 01:00:03,600
Speaker 1: have been that team and other stuff.

1423
01:00:03,600 --> 01:00:04,800
Speaker 2: Maybe it's the Patriots.

1424
01:00:05,400 --> 01:00:07,720
Speaker 1: Is there a feeling of the among the players that

1425
01:00:07,800 --> 01:00:10,800
Speaker 1: man that there's this opportunity, especially this year.

1426
01:00:10,960 --> 01:00:13,560
Speaker 8: Yeah, yeah, like very much so.

1427
01:00:14,760 --> 01:00:18,000
Speaker 7: I think that was just the sentiment around the league. Well,

1428
01:00:18,040 --> 01:00:20,480
Speaker 7: once the Chiefs are out and everybody is like, all right,

1429
01:00:21,760 --> 01:00:23,880
Speaker 7: yeah anything anything happened now.

1430
01:00:23,960 --> 01:00:26,080
Speaker 2: That's like a media fanadud.

1431
01:00:26,200 --> 01:00:29,240
Speaker 7: Like nobody wants to play Pat Mahomes in the playoffs,

1432
01:00:29,280 --> 01:00:31,080
Speaker 7: you know what I mean? Like the dude's pedigree speaks

1433
01:00:31,120 --> 01:00:34,320
Speaker 7: for itself, like they're hard to beat and like they've

1434
01:00:34,320 --> 01:00:36,720
Speaker 7: got the roster and like staff that like they can

1435
01:00:36,760 --> 01:00:41,960
Speaker 7: always beat anybody anytime, you know what I mean. So, yeah,

1436
01:00:41,960 --> 01:00:45,320
Speaker 7: I think just not having that hurdle, I think for

1437
01:00:45,360 --> 01:00:47,840
Speaker 7: a lot of teams was like all right, like here

1438
01:00:47,840 --> 01:00:49,760
Speaker 7: we go, you know what I mean, Like it's sure,

1439
01:00:50,200 --> 01:00:52,600
Speaker 7: it's like not not having to play the Patriots with

1440
01:00:52,640 --> 01:00:53,480
Speaker 7: Tom Brady.

1441
01:00:53,200 --> 01:00:55,200
Speaker 8: And you know the two thousands.

1442
01:00:55,280 --> 01:00:57,760
Speaker 7: Yeah right, all right, we got a chance, you know

1443
01:00:57,800 --> 01:00:59,760
Speaker 7: what I mean, Like it's the same, Like yeah.

1444
01:01:00,320 --> 01:01:02,480
Speaker 5: Yeah, I mean, you're right, And I think what what

1445
01:01:02,520 --> 01:01:04,760
Speaker 5: will help? What helps? And probably something you guys have

1446
01:01:04,760 --> 01:01:07,480
Speaker 5: thought about is like you're going to have continuity. They're

1447
01:01:07,520 --> 01:01:09,960
Speaker 5: making still making changes. I mean they're they've you know,

1448
01:01:10,120 --> 01:01:13,360
Speaker 5: changed out offensive coordinator. You know, Pat's coming off injury,

1449
01:01:13,440 --> 01:01:16,640
Speaker 5: like all these things you can't rely on, hope, right,

1450
01:01:17,080 --> 01:01:20,200
Speaker 5: But you guys have continuity. Matt Burke's coming back, The

1451
01:01:20,280 --> 01:01:22,960
Speaker 5: defense is going to still be kind of what it is,

1452
01:01:23,440 --> 01:01:26,840
Speaker 5: Nick Kaylee, you know that coming continuing to like possibly

1453
01:01:26,880 --> 01:01:29,600
Speaker 5: evolve that offense and maybe what that will look like,

1454
01:01:29,680 --> 01:01:31,960
Speaker 5: and then Dimiko at the top and you guys in

1455
01:01:31,960 --> 01:01:34,520
Speaker 5: the quarterback and another year of growth for the offensive

1456
01:01:34,520 --> 01:01:36,040
Speaker 5: line and all of these things that I'm saying, it's

1457
01:01:36,080 --> 01:01:37,959
Speaker 5: just you know, a broken record. I'm sure at this point.

1458
01:01:38,000 --> 01:01:40,960
Speaker 7: Yeah, I mean, nothing's nothing's given though, yeah, Like and

1459
01:01:41,240 --> 01:01:42,720
Speaker 7: everybody kind of like you know.

1460
01:01:42,760 --> 01:01:44,720
Speaker 8: Rests on that of like, oh everybody's coming back.

1461
01:01:44,760 --> 01:01:47,160
Speaker 7: Well yeah, but next year is going to be a

1462
01:01:47,200 --> 01:01:49,280
Speaker 7: totally different beast than this year is.

1463
01:01:49,320 --> 01:01:52,400
Speaker 8: Like you can't. I learned that early in my career.

1464
01:01:52,400 --> 01:01:54,680
Speaker 7: We made the playoffs, got to the Divisional my rookie year,

1465
01:01:55,240 --> 01:01:58,040
Speaker 7: and then the next year, like you know, it's like.

1466
01:01:58,040 --> 01:01:59,360
Speaker 8: All right, we got everybody coming back.

1467
01:01:59,360 --> 01:02:02,960
Speaker 7: We add this and we missed the playoffs in Dallas

1468
01:02:02,960 --> 01:02:05,720
Speaker 7: and it was like, well, dude, it'll humble you real

1469
01:02:05,800 --> 01:02:07,800
Speaker 7: quick if you're just like, oh, well we got everybody,

1470
01:02:07,840 --> 01:02:09,280
Speaker 7: let's run it back, you know what I mean.

1471
01:02:09,400 --> 01:02:12,240
Speaker 8: Like that just is never it's never that easy.

1472
01:02:12,320 --> 01:02:14,720
Speaker 1: I bet if Nickosaria was listening right now, he would

1473
01:02:14,760 --> 01:02:19,200
Speaker 1: be loving this attitude patri stuff I've ever heard.

1474
01:02:19,920 --> 01:02:20,360
Speaker 8: It's true.

1475
01:02:20,360 --> 01:02:22,480
Speaker 7: You got to like you know, people want to call

1476
01:02:22,480 --> 01:02:25,040
Speaker 7: it a meritocracy or whatever, like you earn everything. Yeah,

1477
01:02:25,800 --> 01:02:30,840
Speaker 7: Like so whether whether you rest on the previous year

1478
01:02:30,920 --> 01:02:32,320
Speaker 7: or not, like you still got to.

1479
01:02:32,320 --> 01:02:34,080
Speaker 8: Go out and earn it again, you know what I mean.

1480
01:02:34,120 --> 01:02:39,280
Speaker 7: Like it's all it's a truly like Christian is one

1481
01:02:39,280 --> 01:02:41,880
Speaker 7: of my favorite teammates that I've had McCaffrey, and I

1482
01:02:42,840 --> 01:02:44,600
Speaker 7: heard something from him the other day where it's like

1483
01:02:46,080 --> 01:02:50,840
Speaker 7: every like the season is seventeen week long seasons, Like

1484
01:02:51,320 --> 01:02:54,760
Speaker 7: literally it's such a week to week business and a

1485
01:02:54,800 --> 01:02:58,280
Speaker 7: week to week thing. Like truly, every single week is

1486
01:02:58,320 --> 01:03:01,920
Speaker 7: like you pour everything in to a single week and

1487
01:03:01,960 --> 01:03:03,920
Speaker 7: then you get up on Monday and you go do

1488
01:03:03,960 --> 01:03:04,280
Speaker 7: it again.

1489
01:03:04,600 --> 01:03:07,160
Speaker 1: I think it explains partly why the NFL is so popular.

1490
01:03:07,240 --> 01:03:10,720
Speaker 1: I think that it comes out to the fans that way,

1491
01:03:10,800 --> 01:03:13,800
Speaker 1: in a way that just because of scarcity, but also

1492
01:03:13,840 --> 01:03:15,960
Speaker 1: just because of the nature of football, like it is

1493
01:03:16,000 --> 01:03:17,120
Speaker 1: not the case another.

1494
01:03:17,320 --> 01:03:19,880
Speaker 8: So much, so much leading up to it, right, and just.

1495
01:03:19,800 --> 01:03:23,400
Speaker 1: So much involved in one big thing. It's like, it's

1496
01:03:23,440 --> 01:03:25,000
Speaker 1: why the super Bowl is what the super Bowl is.

1497
01:03:25,160 --> 01:03:27,000
Speaker 1: I do want to ask, specifically before we let you

1498
01:03:27,040 --> 01:03:29,160
Speaker 1: go about some of these defenders you're going up against

1499
01:03:29,280 --> 01:03:34,320
Speaker 1: in practice every day. I'm I'm gonna be ask. I

1500
01:03:34,360 --> 01:03:36,440
Speaker 1: almost want to put you on the spot, not not

1501
01:03:36,480 --> 01:03:41,960
Speaker 1: like maybe which is the hardest, but like Petrie or

1502
01:03:42,160 --> 01:03:46,880
Speaker 1: it's Lasseter or Stingley or even Bullok. I mean, all

1503
01:03:46,880 --> 01:03:51,840
Speaker 1: these guys are are insane. Like of all those guys

1504
01:03:51,880 --> 01:03:55,400
Speaker 1: like which one it has one thing that like gives

1505
01:03:55,440 --> 01:03:59,200
Speaker 1: you the most problems or or is like man like

1506
01:03:59,240 --> 01:04:02,040
Speaker 1: that that is a I know they all have different strengths,

1507
01:04:02,040 --> 01:04:04,480
Speaker 1: but something that really stands out among maybe each of

1508
01:04:04,520 --> 01:04:08,040
Speaker 1: them that like makes it so tough to go against them.

1509
01:04:08,560 --> 01:04:14,080
Speaker 7: Uh, I mean, dude, Will Anderson, m M, Like we do.

1510
01:04:14,560 --> 01:04:16,800
Speaker 7: You know, we have practice in the morning training camp

1511
01:04:17,160 --> 01:04:19,960
Speaker 7: to just kind of get out there before the sun hits.

1512
01:04:20,360 --> 01:04:20,800
Speaker 8: It helps.

1513
01:04:21,440 --> 01:04:23,040
Speaker 7: But then in the afternoon you come back and you

1514
01:04:23,040 --> 01:04:25,400
Speaker 7: do these walk throughs and you walk through basically the

1515
01:04:25,440 --> 01:04:28,480
Speaker 7: next day like you put it, you install everything. In

1516
01:04:28,520 --> 01:04:31,000
Speaker 7: the afternoon, you come back, you walk through it, and

1517
01:04:31,000 --> 01:04:32,840
Speaker 7: then you wake up in the morning you practice.

1518
01:04:32,440 --> 01:04:32,800
Speaker 8: You do that.

1519
01:04:33,800 --> 01:04:38,960
Speaker 7: These walkthroughs are hats and shoes and no pads, just

1520
01:04:39,040 --> 01:04:41,560
Speaker 7: light jerseys. Supposed to be kind of a walk through

1521
01:04:41,640 --> 01:04:45,240
Speaker 7: John through tempo. Will Anderson is trying to take your

1522
01:04:45,240 --> 01:04:48,560
Speaker 7: head off and sack CJ every single time. And it's

1523
01:04:48,560 --> 01:04:53,680
Speaker 7: a walkthrough. Like he has that same mindset regardless of

1524
01:04:54,120 --> 01:04:57,560
Speaker 7: what he's doing, where it is who he's going against.

1525
01:04:57,880 --> 01:05:01,360
Speaker 7: It's like, not only are you in like the hardest

1526
01:05:01,400 --> 01:05:04,480
Speaker 7: technique for a tight end to like try to tee

1527
01:05:04,520 --> 01:05:06,800
Speaker 7: off on like if you have to block him, he's wide,

1528
01:05:06,840 --> 01:05:09,120
Speaker 7: he's angled, and his only job is to run straight

1529
01:05:09,160 --> 01:05:09,440
Speaker 7: through you.

1530
01:05:10,560 --> 01:05:12,440
Speaker 8: And then having that in a walk through setting is

1531
01:05:12,440 --> 01:05:21,880
Speaker 8: also stop hitting. Please do not hurt CJ. Please.

1532
01:05:23,120 --> 01:05:27,200
Speaker 7: But it's like that is probably the biggest pain is

1533
01:05:27,560 --> 01:05:30,960
Speaker 7: because I mean I line up next to him every play. Yeah,

1534
01:05:31,080 --> 01:05:32,880
Speaker 7: you know, it's like you might you might only see

1535
01:05:32,920 --> 01:05:35,720
Speaker 7: Sting once or twice a practice, but like you're gonna

1536
01:05:35,720 --> 01:05:39,120
Speaker 7: see Will every single time, you know, So I'll put

1537
01:05:39,160 --> 01:05:40,040
Speaker 7: I'll put him up there.

1538
01:05:40,040 --> 01:05:41,280
Speaker 8: But like, seriously, there's no.

1539
01:05:43,000 --> 01:05:45,520
Speaker 7: There's no weak spot in terms of like how do

1540
01:05:45,600 --> 01:05:49,120
Speaker 7: you attack like the guys on our defense.

1541
01:05:49,160 --> 01:05:51,520
Speaker 8: So yeah, I mean every no matter where you are,

1542
01:05:51,880 --> 01:05:54,560
Speaker 8: it's a pain. But yeah, we'll understand here.

1543
01:05:54,600 --> 01:05:56,040
Speaker 1: You got to get to somewhere else. But so I'm

1544
01:05:56,040 --> 01:05:57,960
Speaker 1: gonna put you. I'm gonna make this as a speed round.

1545
01:05:58,080 --> 01:06:01,320
Speaker 1: You majored in science, Technology and Societ. You were interested

1546
01:06:01,320 --> 01:06:04,520
Speaker 1: in developing video games. You're mount Rushmore are the best

1547
01:06:04,600 --> 01:06:05,360
Speaker 1: video games ever.

1548
01:06:06,320 --> 01:06:07,560
Speaker 8: I got a Minecraft tattoo.

1549
01:06:07,960 --> 01:06:10,680
Speaker 5: Wow, wait we're filming.

1550
01:06:10,720 --> 01:06:13,160
Speaker 7: If you want to show this, I gotta lead with Minecraft. Okay,

1551
01:06:13,240 --> 01:06:16,200
Speaker 7: that's like that's what kind of inspired that whole track. Okay,

1552
01:06:18,240 --> 01:06:21,240
Speaker 7: the next hat probably Halo. Okay, so like I gotta

1553
01:06:21,240 --> 01:06:23,680
Speaker 7: go Halo, like Halo two, Halo three. Halo three was

1554
01:06:23,680 --> 01:06:25,960
Speaker 7: like Mount Rushmore, favorite game of all the time. I

1555
01:06:25,960 --> 01:06:29,000
Speaker 7: freaking love that game. I'll throw a racing game in there,

1556
01:06:29,040 --> 01:06:30,120
Speaker 7: and you for speed most wanted?

1557
01:06:30,400 --> 01:06:33,200
Speaker 2: Yeah, okay, good ball Blacklist.

1558
01:06:33,760 --> 01:06:35,760
Speaker 7: I never beat the Blacklist until like I got to

1559
01:06:35,800 --> 01:06:38,600
Speaker 7: the league, actually because I played it young and I

1560
01:06:38,640 --> 01:06:39,880
Speaker 7: was like, dude, I need to go back and beat

1561
01:06:39,920 --> 01:06:40,160
Speaker 7: that game.

1562
01:06:40,200 --> 01:06:42,920
Speaker 8: Bought a three sixty, bought me for speed. Awesome.

1563
01:06:45,000 --> 01:06:47,680
Speaker 7: I'll leave it at those three. I know Mount Rushmore's four,

1564
01:06:47,720 --> 01:06:50,000
Speaker 7: but like we'll stop there before I.

1565
01:06:49,720 --> 01:06:52,560
Speaker 5: Your eyes lit up there, I said, I know Mount

1566
01:06:52,600 --> 01:06:53,439
Speaker 5: Rushmore is four.

1567
01:06:53,720 --> 01:06:55,640
Speaker 8: Yeah, so I'll give you three.

1568
01:06:56,200 --> 01:06:56,800

1580
01:07:36,440 --> 01:07:41,720
Speaker 1: we've had so many great conversations this week and it's

1581
01:07:41,760 --> 01:07:44,160
Speaker 1: like we could hold them, but we want you guys

1582

Speaker 1: a nice themed show that will come out in the

1584
01:07:49,360 --> 01:07:53,080
Speaker 1: feed before the Super Bowl over the weekend. It's wide

1585
01:07:53,080 --> 01:07:56,280
Speaker 1: Receiver time on NFL Daily. So Michael Pittman, that was

1586
01:07:56,320 --> 01:07:59,680
Speaker 1: a great conversation, uh, talking about the Colt season, his

1587
01:08:00,320 --> 01:08:03,200
Speaker 1: free agency could be coming up in a year. Christian Watson,

1588
01:08:03,280 --> 01:08:05,840
Speaker 1: of course, big time playmaker with the Packers, and then

1589
01:08:05,920 --> 01:08:09,440
Speaker 1: Adam Thielen who just walked into retirement. We're going to

1590
01:08:09,480 --> 01:08:12,560
Speaker 1: put a show up of those interviews over the weekend two,

1591
01:08:12,800 --> 01:08:16,200
Speaker 1: but we are kind of saying goodbye to this set

1592
01:08:16,840 --> 01:08:18,320
Speaker 1: for now, and the next time the three of us

1593
01:08:18,360 --> 01:08:22,360
Speaker 1: will be together with a microphone will be after the

1594
01:08:22,360 --> 01:08:23,559
Speaker 1: Patriots win the Super Bowl.

1595
01:08:23,600 --> 01:08:28,800
Speaker 5: Oh okay, you know what nick I do. Remember we

1596
01:08:28,800 --> 01:08:32,600
Speaker 5: were in a production meeting in Inglewood and Greg this

1597
01:08:32,760 --> 01:08:36,599
Speaker 5: was months months before we even booked the trip or whatever,

1598
01:08:37,120 --> 01:08:39,960
Speaker 5: and Greg did throw out there at that time, Well,

1599
01:08:40,040 --> 01:08:44,080
Speaker 5: when Drake May is Super Bowl MVP. You know, we

1600
01:08:44,120 --> 01:08:45,719
Speaker 5: need to make sure we get him on the field,

1601
01:08:45,760 --> 01:08:47,880
Speaker 5: and all of us in the meeting go, oh my god,

1602
01:08:48,920 --> 01:08:50,240
Speaker 5: and look at us eating crow.

1603
01:08:50,320 --> 01:08:53,639
Speaker 4: Now, well it has happened, but we're dangerously close.

1604
01:08:53,800 --> 01:08:57,680
Speaker 1: You are you are really earning your paycheck now remembering that,

1605
01:08:57,760 --> 01:08:59,439
Speaker 1: because yes, that was in a conference room in the

1606
01:08:59,439 --> 01:09:01,400
Speaker 1: middle of this early December.

1607
01:09:02,400 --> 01:09:05,360
Speaker 2: I mean they were maybe even earlier.

1608
01:09:05,400 --> 01:09:08,680
Speaker 1: They were they were on their on their road and

1609
01:09:08,680 --> 01:09:10,120
Speaker 1: and we'll see it's it's been.

1610
01:09:10,600 --> 01:09:14,560
Speaker 2: It's been a treat here. I don't know. I'm I

1611
01:09:15,080 --> 01:09:16,800
Speaker 2: We've said enough, don't you think?

1612
01:09:18,120 --> 01:09:18,439
Speaker 7: Yeah?

1613
01:09:18,600 --> 01:09:22,200
Speaker 2: Yeah, I uh. I love that award. This was what

1614
01:09:22,280 --> 01:09:22,920
Speaker 2: was on my mind.

1615
01:09:22,920 --> 01:09:25,640
Speaker 1: They had an award at honors, by the way, just

1616
01:09:25,680 --> 01:09:28,000
Speaker 1: every all of our friends who dress up for honors

1617
01:09:28,040 --> 01:09:33,840
Speaker 1: and just look amazing, just and I like, I applaud them.

1618
01:09:34,120 --> 01:09:36,760
Speaker 1: I applaud them like Rachel Bannetta, old friend we saw

1619
01:09:36,880 --> 01:09:41,320
Speaker 1: here and calling calling Wolf and Cynthia was there.

1620
01:09:41,479 --> 01:09:42,680
Speaker 2: It seemed like an awesome night.

1621
01:09:42,720 --> 01:09:45,360
Speaker 1: But they had an award which I really love, maybe

1622
01:09:45,360 --> 01:09:47,479
Speaker 1: more than the rest of the awards moments of the year,

1623
01:09:47,840 --> 01:09:50,920
Speaker 1: and that was the Caleb to DJ Moore throw. And

1624
01:09:50,960 --> 01:09:54,360
Speaker 1: I was thinking that was already our throw of the year.

1625
01:09:54,400 --> 01:09:57,200
Speaker 1: I think they're just watching NFL daily and cribbing our content.

1626
01:09:57,320 --> 01:09:59,360
Speaker 4: I mean, if they're gonna find a good source to

1627
01:09:59,360 --> 01:10:01,920
Speaker 4: figure out where they want to give this award, this

1628
01:10:02,000 --> 01:10:03,599
Speaker 4: is the show to do it. This is the show

1629
01:10:03,640 --> 01:10:06,320
Speaker 4: that chronicles the NFL better than any of it.

1630
01:10:06,520 --> 01:10:07,800
Speaker 5: Just ask Mac John's parents.

1631
01:10:08,320 --> 01:10:08,720
Speaker 2: That's right.

1632
01:10:08,760 --> 01:10:10,559
Speaker 1: I mean, because that's what it's all about, is moments,

1633
01:10:10,600 --> 01:10:12,240
Speaker 1: and that that was a moment in time and DJ

1634
01:10:12,360 --> 01:10:14,200
Speaker 1: Moore was there to accept the award.

1635
01:10:14,320 --> 01:10:14,760
Speaker 2: Very cool.

1636
01:10:14,880 --> 01:10:16,640
Speaker 1: We've had a lot of great moments here at the

1637
01:10:16,680 --> 01:10:19,360
Speaker 1: Moscone Center. We're going to get out of here. We

1638
01:10:19,400 --> 01:10:24,000
Speaker 1: just wanted to thank everyone who has helped us execute

1639
01:10:24,040 --> 01:10:26,240
Speaker 1: this entire week. I was talking with Eric Roberts as

1640
01:10:26,240 --> 01:10:28,960
Speaker 1: we were walking home last night that I don't take

1641
01:10:28,960 --> 01:10:32,759
Speaker 1: it for granted how seamless this is and has been.

1642
01:10:33,160 --> 01:10:36,040
Speaker 1: It is a very difficult and production with a lot

1643
01:10:36,040 --> 01:10:39,919
Speaker 1: of moving parts. Our iHeart partners have been really helpful

1644
01:10:40,600 --> 01:10:44,920
Speaker 1: setting up everything technologically and then combining with our NFL

1645
01:10:45,040 --> 01:10:47,519
Speaker 1: crew including Drake and I wish I had every like.

1646
01:10:47,520 --> 01:10:52,000
Speaker 1: There's so many people contributing obviously, our Crack booking team

1647
01:10:52,040 --> 01:10:54,680
Speaker 1: including David Singer, who's right by the stage here, and

1648
01:10:54,960 --> 01:10:58,080
Speaker 1: Jason Clem and Jason English, and we got Eric Roberts,

1649
01:10:58,160 --> 01:11:02,280
Speaker 1: Chris Bobona back, you know, sending us crack.

1650
01:11:02,160 --> 01:11:06,920
Speaker 2: Notes for us to get ideas off of. Hey, he

1651
01:11:06,960 --> 01:11:07,479
Speaker 2: got me that.

1652
01:11:07,560 --> 01:11:10,080
Speaker 1: Kyle Hamilton was a big time tennis fan that got

1653
01:11:10,080 --> 01:11:11,880
Speaker 1: it into the show. And Kyle and I had a

1654
01:11:11,880 --> 01:11:17,160
Speaker 1: connection all because of Christmap. So we really thank everyone

1655
01:11:17,200 --> 01:11:19,400
Speaker 1: who's helped us. We're not done, obviously, we'll be here

1656
01:11:19,479 --> 01:11:22,200
Speaker 1: after the super Bowl. Let's hit that music. I've been

1657
01:11:22,240 --> 01:11:28,040
Speaker 1: waiting for it. No, I really do like it is

1658
01:11:28,120 --> 01:11:35,000
Speaker 1: crazy how many people we love doing it. And like

1659
01:11:35,000 --> 01:11:36,720
Speaker 1: I said, you're gonna have some more interviews in the

1660
01:11:36,720 --> 01:11:39,880
Speaker 1: feed over the weekend, but we will be talking to

1661
01:11:39,920 --> 01:11:42,599
