He ended up going thirteen to twenty five, 143 00:06:50,908 --> 00:06:53,068 Speaker 5: found his way out of the Jets after they went 144 00:06:53,108 --> 00:06:56,268 Speaker 5: ahead and moved on from him and drafted Zach Wilson. 145 00:06:56,388 --> 00:06:58,348 Speaker 5: Now from there, what do you do?

He went out there to be a bridge 153 00:07:15,028 --> 00:07:18,388 Speaker 5: quarterback for the Minnesota Vikings, in which he ended up 154 00:07:18,588 --> 00:07:21,468 Speaker 5: backing up JJ McCarthy, but McCarthy got hurtep so he 155 00:07:21,588 --> 00:07:23,468 Speaker 5: ended up being the man. And when he became the man, 156 00:07:23,548 --> 00:07:25,828 Speaker 5: he took care of business. Over forty three hundred yards, 157 00:07:25,828 --> 00:07:29,628 Speaker 5: passing thirty five touchdowns Pro Bowl season and then they say, 158 00:07:29,668 --> 00:07:31,388 Speaker 5: you know what, We're gonna move on. We're gonna go on, 159 00:07:31,468 --> 00:07:34,068 Speaker 5: We're gonna stick with JJ McCarthy.

I also think 172 00:08:00,548 --> 00:08:02,348 Speaker 11: going into the Super Bowl there will be history with 173 00:08:02,388 --> 00:08:04,428 Speaker 11: the two head coaches that are facing off of each other. 174 00:08:04,628 --> 00:08:06,388 Speaker 10: Rabel and Mike McDonald. 175 00:08:06,708 --> 00:08:10,148 Speaker 11: Now I'm looking at these two guys, both defensive minded coaches. 176 00:08:10,268 --> 00:08:12,268 Speaker 11: Is the first time since Super Bowl fifty one where 177 00:08:12,348 --> 00:08:16,548 Speaker 11: Bill Belichick faced off against Dan Quinn. If the Seattle 178 00:08:16,548 --> 00:08:18,228 Speaker 11: Seahawks win, history will be made. 179 00:08:18,228 --> 00:08:20,388 Speaker 10: He will be the third coach in NFL history. Mike 180 00:08:20,508 --> 00:08:21,508 Speaker 10: McDonald would. 181 00:08:21,668 --> 00:08:24,068 Speaker 11: To have the number one scoring defense as a coordinator 182 00:08:24,068 --> 00:08:26,268 Speaker 11: the number one scoring defense as the head. 183 00:08:26,068 --> 00:08:27,508 Speaker 10: Coach and win their Super Bowl. 184 00:08:27,508 --> 00:08:30,028 Speaker 11: The only other two head coaches to do that Bill 185 00:08:30,068 --> 00:08:33,948 Speaker 11: Belichick and Chuck Noll. If Mike Rabel wins, he will 186 00:08:33,988 --> 00:08:38,668 Speaker 11: be the first person ever ever in NFL history to 187 00:08:38,748 --> 00:08:40,828 Speaker 11: win the Super Bowl with the same franchise that he 188 00:08:40,868 --> 00:08:44,028 Speaker 11: played in and coached for. When I look at the 189 00:08:44,548 --> 00:08:47,308 Speaker 11: Patriots defense, I think a lot of people are sleeping 190 00:08:47,308 --> 00:08:49,388 Speaker 11: on this Patriots defense. There's a lot of talk about 191 00:08:49,428 --> 00:08:53,708 Speaker 11: Seahawks defense, and rightfully so, but in my opinion, the 192 00:08:53,948 --> 00:08:56,708 Speaker 11: units out of all of these two teams that has 193 00:08:56,788 --> 00:08:59,668 Speaker 11: performed the best in the playoffs has been. 194 00:08:59,828 --> 00:09:01,028 Speaker 10: The Patriots defense. 195 00:09:01,028 --> 00:09:02,908 Speaker 11: If you look at what they did against the Chargers, 196 00:09:02,988 --> 00:09:06,588 Speaker 11: Justin Herbert and the Chargers, against the Houston Houston Texas, 197 00:09:06,668 --> 00:09:07,628 Speaker 11: against the Broncos. 198 00:09:08,108 --> 00:09:10,628 Speaker 10: There's a lot of talk about this game being a blowout. 199 00:09:10,948 --> 00:09:13,068 Speaker 11: If you think it's going to be a blowout, you 200 00:09:13,148 --> 00:09:16,068 Speaker 11: have not watched a film on this Patriots defense. They're stingy, 201 00:09:16,108 --> 00:09:19,228 Speaker 11: they get after the quarterback, and they're very very good 202 00:09:19,268 --> 00:09:21,348 Speaker 11: against the run. And that's something that they're going to 203 00:09:21,388 --> 00:09:24,028 Speaker 11: need to continue to do to have success this Sunday 204 00:09:24,508 --> 00:09:25,668 Speaker 11: in Super Bowl Sunday KB. 205 00:09:26,028 --> 00:09:27,188 Speaker 10: So that's the history. 206 00:09:27,348 --> 00:09:29,188 Speaker 11: I'm so glad that Zay went through the history of 207 00:09:29,228 --> 00:09:31,748 Speaker 11: Sam Donald. That's the history with the two head coaches 208 00:09:31,788 --> 00:09:32,908 Speaker 11: facing off in the super Bowl. 209 00:09:32,988 --> 00:09:35,788 Speaker 1: Yeah, no blowout in the Super Bowl not happening. And 210 00:09:35,828 --> 00:09:38,028 Speaker 1: also I want to buy that we had a terrible 211 00:09:38,068 --> 00:09:40,188 Speaker 1: super Bowl last year. The gods do not give us 212 00:09:40,228 --> 00:09:41,588 Speaker 1: two in a row. It's not the way it's supposed 213 00:09:41,588 --> 00:09:43,988 Speaker 1: to work. This isn't the nineties. We need a close game. 214 00:09:44,668 --> 00:09:46,868 Speaker 1: My favorite storyline for the Super Bowl is the one 215 00:09:46,868 --> 00:09:49,108 Speaker 1: that so many people didn't want, and so many people 216 00:09:49,148 --> 00:09:49,988 Speaker 1: still can't believe. 217 00:09:50,828 --> 00:09:54,148 Speaker 8: The Patriots are back. The pats are back, and. 218 00:09:54,108 --> 00:09:56,588 Speaker 1: I think for a lot of people it's like Voldemort 219 00:09:56,708 --> 00:09:59,468 Speaker 1: is back or the Evil Empire's return. I don't look 220 00:09:59,508 --> 00:10:01,668 Speaker 1: at it that way at all. I think it's incredible 221 00:10:01,948 --> 00:10:04,388 Speaker 1: and I really get a kick out of it because I. 222 00:10:04,388 --> 00:10:05,468 Speaker 8: I've seen this before. 223 00:10:05,668 --> 00:10:09,068 Speaker 1: Typically, when you have a dynasty as they did, you 224 00:10:09,108 --> 00:10:11,348 Speaker 1: don't get back. You have a deal with the devil 225 00:10:11,388 --> 00:10:14,108 Speaker 1: and God bless you. You had your parades and your banners, 226 00:10:14,428 --> 00:10:16,868 Speaker 1: and then you pay for it for decades. 227 00:10:17,028 --> 00:10:18,188 Speaker 8: I want you to think about this. 228 00:10:18,788 --> 00:10:21,788 Speaker 1: Let's go back all the way to the Dallas Cowboys. 229 00:10:21,828 --> 00:10:23,908 Speaker 1: They had a dynasty. They had a dynasty. They won 230 00:10:23,948 --> 00:10:26,428 Speaker 1: Super Bowl, They won three Super Bowls. They have not 231 00:10:26,628 --> 00:10:29,988 Speaker 1: even been back to a conference title game. The Patriots 232 00:10:30,028 --> 00:10:31,708 Speaker 1: are back in the super Bowl in the blink of 233 00:10:31,748 --> 00:10:34,828 Speaker 1: an eye. Think about the back and back then with 234 00:10:34,828 --> 00:10:39,588 Speaker 1: the Washington Redskins people. Guys, that's Mark Rippin on the right. 235 00:10:39,788 --> 00:10:42,308 Speaker 1: They ran the league. They were winning Super Bowls. 236 00:10:42,388 --> 00:10:42,628 Speaker 8: Kids. 237 00:10:42,628 --> 00:10:44,868 Speaker 1: That is a quarterback named Mark Rippin and it was 238 00:10:44,948 --> 00:10:47,268 Speaker 1: their league and they they have not been back to 239 00:10:47,268 --> 00:10:48,148 Speaker 1: the Super Bowl since. 240 00:10:48,188 --> 00:10:51,148 Speaker 8: Look how old that picture is. I got even better one. 241 00:10:51,188 --> 00:10:53,228 Speaker 1: Do you know who used to have a dynasty, The 242 00:10:53,228 --> 00:10:54,188 Speaker 1: Detroit Lions. 243 00:10:54,268 --> 00:10:54,668 Speaker 8: Look it up? 244 00:10:54,788 --> 00:10:57,588 Speaker 1: Old that picture is the guy's got a damn cigarette 245 00:10:57,628 --> 00:10:58,308 Speaker 1: in the picture. 246 00:10:58,668 --> 00:11:00,028 Speaker 8: That's the nineteen fifties. 247 00:11:00,028 --> 00:11:03,028 Speaker 1: They won three they were three NFL championships back in 248 00:11:03,068 --> 00:11:03,668 Speaker 1: the fifties. 249 00:11:03,868 --> 00:11:04,268 Speaker 10: All right. 250 00:11:04,788 --> 00:11:08,028 Speaker 1: They have not even sniffed it in decades and decades. 251 00:11:08,148 --> 00:11:09,388 Speaker 8: The Patriots are back in the sup Bowl. 252 00:11:09,388 --> 00:11:12,068 Speaker 1: And the dynasty of all dynasties that we put on 253 00:11:12,068 --> 00:11:14,988 Speaker 1: a pedestal above all others. Think about the Jordan Bulls. 254 00:11:15,868 --> 00:11:19,668 Speaker 1: Six championships could have been eight. Guys, have you seen 255 00:11:19,708 --> 00:11:22,788 Speaker 1: the Bulls in the NBA Finals. I haven't they just 256 00:11:22,868 --> 00:11:26,148 Speaker 1: retired Derek Rose's number. Derek Rose got to the conference 257 00:11:26,188 --> 00:11:29,228 Speaker 1: finals once and lost it in five games. Are you 258 00:11:29,348 --> 00:11:32,788 Speaker 1: seeing my point here? What the Patriots are doing is astonishing. 259 00:11:33,268 --> 00:11:35,748 Speaker 1: It's not the way it's supposed to work. You have 260 00:11:35,868 --> 00:11:38,348 Speaker 1: their dynasty and then you go away. And I also 261 00:11:38,388 --> 00:11:41,908 Speaker 1: think it's funny that there's a there's a fatigue where 262 00:11:41,908 --> 00:11:44,588 Speaker 1: it's like, oh God, we finally got the Chiefs out 263 00:11:44,588 --> 00:11:46,468 Speaker 1: of the Super Bowl and now the pats are back again. 264 00:11:46,548 --> 00:11:49,348 Speaker 1: Is there anybody else in the FC not this year? 265 00:11:49,548 --> 00:11:52,268 Speaker 1: Everybody had their chance, everybody could have won it, and 266 00:11:52,308 --> 00:11:55,468 Speaker 1: the Patriots did. I think it's incredible that they're back. 267 00:11:55,828 --> 00:11:58,108 Speaker 1: I think if Robert Kraft wins the Super Bowl, I've 268 00:11:58,108 --> 00:11:59,868 Speaker 1: said it before, I think this will be his favorite 269 00:11:59,908 --> 00:12:03,108 Speaker 1: super Bowl since the first one because it is home grown. 270 00:12:03,148 --> 00:12:05,308 Speaker 1: It's it's so much now with the Patriots that now 271 00:12:05,508 --> 00:12:07,868 Speaker 1: their coach used to be one of the players. It's 272 00:12:07,868 --> 00:12:10,108 Speaker 1: an incredible thing that it's like it's a legacy. It's 273 00:12:10,108 --> 00:12:13,388 Speaker 1: a family business now at winning super Bowls. 274 00:12:13,428 --> 00:12:14,868 Speaker 8: If they can win this one. 275 00:12:14,748 --> 00:12:16,708 Speaker 1: The dynasty teams are not supposed to get back, let 276 00:12:16,708 --> 00:12:19,068 Speaker 1: alone this quickly. It's an incredible thing that they're here. 277 00:12:19,268 --> 00:12:21,668 Speaker 1: Hate it fine, I absolutely think it's amazing. 278 00:12:21,908 --> 00:12:25,028 Speaker 4: It really implies how likable some of the main characters are, 279 00:12:25,188 --> 00:12:28,228 Speaker 4: because you easily could have seen the Chiefs back in 280 00:12:28,268 --> 00:12:30,828 Speaker 4: the playoffs, back in this moment again, and people. 281 00:12:30,548 --> 00:12:32,828 Speaker 6: Would have been rolling their eyes. They would have been annoyed. 282 00:12:33,108 --> 00:12:35,668 Speaker 4: But the fact that Robert Kraft is the one constructing 283 00:12:35,708 --> 00:12:38,628 Speaker 4: this thing and returning in such short order, The fact 284 00:12:38,628 --> 00:12:41,468 Speaker 4: that Mike vrabel Is Kyle just mentioned in reference to 285 00:12:41,508 --> 00:12:44,508 Speaker 4: showing photos with people with chest hair and cigarettes and 286 00:12:44,788 --> 00:12:45,548 Speaker 4: been the photos are. 287 00:12:45,428 --> 00:12:46,148 Speaker 6: In black and white. 288 00:12:46,348 --> 00:12:49,188 Speaker 4: You easily could have been I cannot believe this is happening, 289 00:12:49,188 --> 00:12:50,068 Speaker 4: could have thrown your pen. 290 00:12:50,468 --> 00:12:52,428 Speaker 6: People don't see that annoyed with the fact that the 291 00:12:52,428 --> 00:12:55,948 Speaker 6: Patriots are back, Isaiah, let go, I. 292 00:12:56,788 --> 00:12:58,268 Speaker 10: Just talk about that challenge. Let me go. 293 00:12:59,068 --> 00:13:02,148 Speaker 11: I think the reason why everybody there's almost a beloved 294 00:13:02,228 --> 00:13:06,108 Speaker 11: storyline too, is because it's not like the Patriots remained good, 295 00:13:06,588 --> 00:13:09,348 Speaker 11: you know, just nuts. Last year. They're four and thirteen. 296 00:13:09,708 --> 00:13:11,948 Speaker 11: Last year they could barely keep Drake May on his feet. 297 00:13:11,988 --> 00:13:14,028 Speaker 11: Last year, Drake may even have a target to throw to. 298 00:13:14,428 --> 00:13:15,388 Speaker 10: And so when you're. 299 00:13:15,268 --> 00:13:19,508 Speaker 11: Coming into this year, they fire, their first time head coach, 300 00:13:19,588 --> 00:13:21,948 Speaker 11: hire another one, Mike Rabel, and you're like, well, Mike, 301 00:13:21,988 --> 00:13:25,828 Speaker 11: you have basically the same pieces that they had as 302 00:13:25,828 --> 00:13:28,668 Speaker 11: a foreign thirteen team, and then the turnaround. 303 00:13:28,788 --> 00:13:31,148 Speaker 8: So it's not like they stayed up there, right kV. 304 00:13:31,308 --> 00:13:33,468 Speaker 11: It's they had a dip, and it was a dip 305 00:13:33,508 --> 00:13:34,988 Speaker 11: that a lot of people would look at it. 306 00:13:34,988 --> 00:13:36,868 Speaker 10: Like, ain't no way they're going to recover from this. 307 00:13:37,028 --> 00:13:39,668 Speaker 11: I mean, even if they recover from it, it's still 308 00:13:39,708 --> 00:13:42,508 Speaker 11: going to take some time. But kV would appreciate this 309 00:13:42,588 --> 00:13:43,468 Speaker 11: as he was going through. 310 00:13:43,308 --> 00:13:44,268 Speaker 10: His little monologue. 311 00:13:44,308 --> 00:13:47,388 Speaker 11: It reminded me of those movies where the final scene 312 00:13:47,468 --> 00:13:50,308 Speaker 11: there's somebody the bad guys on the ground and you 313 00:13:50,348 --> 00:13:52,908 Speaker 11: think he's dead, and then right before the thing cuts, 314 00:13:52,748 --> 00:13:54,468 Speaker 11: his finger twitches and you're. 315 00:13:54,308 --> 00:13:55,708 Speaker 8: Like, oh, he's still there. 316 00:13:55,788 --> 00:13:57,668 Speaker 10: That's how the Patriots, it seems like to me. 317 00:13:57,708 --> 00:14:00,668 Speaker 1: It's like they're down and then that finger twitch and 318 00:14:00,708 --> 00:14:03,468 Speaker 1: everybody in the theater was like, oh my gosh, when 319 00:14:03,628 --> 00:14:04,228 Speaker 1: is the next one? 320 00:14:05,148 --> 00:14:07,388 Speaker 8: Michael pay Yeah, and it's just next year. 321 00:14:07,548 --> 00:14:09,788 Speaker 1: And next year they're back at the top and here 322 00:14:09,868 --> 00:14:12,428 Speaker 1: the Lincoln Park and go to the credit. I think 323 00:14:12,468 --> 00:14:15,308 Speaker 1: it's like when when the White Walkers captured one of 324 00:14:15,348 --> 00:14:18,508 Speaker 1: the dragons. 325 00:14:16,108 --> 00:14:19,748 Speaker 8: The eyeball like, oh my god. 326 00:14:19,908 --> 00:14:22,428 Speaker 1: Here's the thing Jamie brings up A good point is 327 00:14:22,428 --> 00:14:25,668 Speaker 1: that this team, in spite of all the Patriots' success, 328 00:14:25,748 --> 00:14:28,988 Speaker 1: like seems extremely likable. Let's remember, in the context of 329 00:14:29,028 --> 00:14:31,188 Speaker 1: the Patriots dynasty, the word that we have not heard 330 00:14:31,228 --> 00:14:33,708 Speaker 1: on a long time attached to the Patriots is the 331 00:14:33,748 --> 00:14:34,388 Speaker 1: word gate. 332 00:14:34,868 --> 00:14:36,108 Speaker 8: There's no gate. 333 00:14:35,948 --> 00:14:39,228 Speaker 1: Going around all right. All the footballs are properly inflated. 334 00:14:39,228 --> 00:14:42,508 Speaker 1: I don't anticipate any issue with the with the Seahawks 335 00:14:42,548 --> 00:14:45,108 Speaker 1: pregame warm up being but that is all ancient history. 336 00:14:45,188 --> 00:14:46,668 Speaker 8: There's no gates here. 337 00:14:47,108 --> 00:14:51,388 Speaker 1: And also, like I think, sometimes people dislike a fan 338 00:14:51,468 --> 00:14:54,028 Speaker 1: base more than the team. And believe me, if you 339 00:14:54,068 --> 00:14:57,188 Speaker 1: want to dislike the Boston fan base, go right ahead. 340 00:14:57,268 --> 00:14:59,308 Speaker 1: If everybody drives you crazy, and they have all their 341 00:14:59,308 --> 00:15:02,308 Speaker 1: supporters and all the barstool and Bill Simmons and all 342 00:15:02,308 --> 00:15:05,308 Speaker 1: those people, fine, that has nothing to do with Drake Man, 343 00:15:05,348 --> 00:15:07,828 Speaker 1: Mike gray Ball, those people. If you can't stand him, 344 00:15:08,308 --> 00:15:09,588 Speaker 1: I get a kick out of all of it. But 345 00:15:09,588 --> 00:15:12,308 Speaker 1: if you can't, that's nothing to do with the Patriots product. 346 00:15:12,308 --> 00:15:16,188 Speaker 1: This is a young, likable, tough team and coached by 347 00:15:16,228 --> 00:15:19,828 Speaker 1: like the ultimate like packa dip badass. It's incredible. It's 348 00:15:19,828 --> 00:15:22,668 Speaker 1: a very likable team for the most part. And I 349 00:15:22,668 --> 00:15:25,268 Speaker 1: think that's the reason why I feel like the damn Patriots, 350 00:15:25,268 --> 00:15:27,308 Speaker 1: you did it again. We're looking at that bleeping logo 351 00:15:27,388 --> 00:15:28,788 Speaker 1: going to the super Bowl again. 352 00:15:28,908 --> 00:15:29,788 Speaker 8: I can't believe it. 353 00:15:29,868 --> 00:15:31,428 Speaker 5: Well, k B, I know you talked about how this 354 00:15:31,468 --> 00:15:34,548 Speaker 5: will probably be Robert Kraft's favorite super Bowl if he's 355 00:15:34,588 --> 00:15:36,588 Speaker 5: able to attain it, just because of the fact that 356 00:15:36,628 --> 00:15:37,588 Speaker 5: he rebuilt. 357 00:15:37,228 --> 00:15:38,868 Speaker 8: This thing outside of Tom Brady. 358 00:15:39,028 --> 00:15:41,788 Speaker 5: I have another another reason why I believe this might 359 00:15:41,828 --> 00:15:43,748 Speaker 5: be his favorite. If they are to win this the 360 00:15:43,748 --> 00:15:46,228 Speaker 5: super Bowl, most likely he's going to get into the 361 00:15:46,228 --> 00:15:47,868 Speaker 5: Hall of Fame this year. I know we've had our 362 00:15:47,908 --> 00:15:49,788 Speaker 5: conversations about the Hall of Fame and who's in and 363 00:15:49,828 --> 00:15:50,188 Speaker 5: who's not. 364 00:15:50,268 --> 00:15:51,268 Speaker 8: That was all last week. 365 00:15:51,348 --> 00:15:54,108 Speaker 5: But the probability is relatively high that Robert Craft gets 366 00:15:54,108 --> 00:15:55,388 Speaker 5: into the Hall of Fame this year. 367 00:15:55,428 --> 00:15:57,508 Speaker 8: So that gets announced before. 368 00:15:57,228 --> 00:16:00,428 Speaker 5: The super Bowl, right, So if he gets in the 369 00:16:00,468 --> 00:16:04,588 Speaker 5: Hall of Fame and he wins the super Bowl, that's 370 00:16:04,588 --> 00:16:04,988 Speaker 5: a good year. 371 00:16:05,228 --> 00:16:05,868 Speaker 8: That's a good year. 372 00:16:05,948 --> 00:16:09,068 Speaker 4: Yes, that's a good year, Kyle. To your point about 373 00:16:09,068 --> 00:16:11,628 Speaker 4: the Patriots, fans and whatnot. I was working in Boston 374 00:16:11,988 --> 00:16:14,828 Speaker 4: right the twenty tens early teens. Like, the reason why 375 00:16:14,988 --> 00:16:18,428 Speaker 4: Boston fans were so frustrating at the time was because 376 00:16:18,468 --> 00:16:20,468 Speaker 4: everybody was good. The Bruins had won the Cup, the 377 00:16:20,508 --> 00:16:23,068 Speaker 4: Celtics were great, Kevin Garnette was there, the Red Sox 378 00:16:23,148 --> 00:16:25,468 Speaker 4: were a couple of World series in. Now the Red 379 00:16:25,468 --> 00:16:27,748 Speaker 4: Sox are, I think our a disaster if I follow. 380 00:16:27,468 --> 00:16:28,428 Speaker 6: The headlines correctly. 381 00:16:28,468 --> 00:16:30,788 Speaker 4: The Celtics are hanging around the wildcard spot, if that's 382 00:16:30,828 --> 00:16:32,908 Speaker 4: the term I used in the NBA, and the Bruins 383 00:16:32,948 --> 00:16:34,748 Speaker 4: they had a new head coach come in last summer, 384 00:16:34,788 --> 00:16:36,868 Speaker 4: so maybe it's just the Patriots's like, we don't really 385 00:16:37,668 --> 00:16:40,068 Speaker 4: und annoyed by them anymore. We pity Boston now because 386 00:16:40,068 --> 00:16:42,828 Speaker 4: you only have the one good team and it's the Patriots. 387 00:16:42,868 --> 00:16:48,468 Speaker 4: So we'll allow you in to sports fandom. 388 00:16:48,748 --> 00:16:49,748 Speaker 6: We're back on GMFB. 389 00:16:49,948 --> 00:16:52,388 Speaker 4: We bring in now our very own NFL Owork insider 390 00:16:52,508 --> 00:16:53,348 Speaker 4: Mike Garrafolo. 391 00:16:53,548 --> 00:16:55,148 Speaker 6: Mike g I say, our very own. 392 00:16:55,188 --> 00:16:56,868 Speaker 4: It's like so prideful to have you on the show, 393 00:16:56,908 --> 00:16:59,388 Speaker 4: mostly because there's so much to get to when it 394 00:16:59,428 --> 00:17:02,748 Speaker 4: comes to filling the head coaching vacancies, and let's begin 395 00:17:02,828 --> 00:17:05,548 Speaker 4: with two names where they're keeping foo Ball in the family. 396 00:17:05,588 --> 00:17:07,268 Speaker 4: It seems like when it comes to some of these 397 00:17:07,268 --> 00:17:09,028 Speaker 4: coaching opportunities. 398 00:17:08,508 --> 00:17:11,508 Speaker 12: That would be Kubiak the first one. You're referencing Jamie 399 00:17:11,868 --> 00:17:14,588 Speaker 12: the Seahawks offensive coordinator, who met with the Raiders and 400 00:17:14,628 --> 00:17:16,948 Speaker 12: the Cardinals pretty much had his choice of these jobs 401 00:17:16,948 --> 00:17:19,708 Speaker 12: at this point. And the Raiders with the number one 402 00:17:19,708 --> 00:17:22,468 Speaker 12: overall pick from Nando Mendoza. You also got Tom Brady 403 00:17:22,468 --> 00:17:24,548 Speaker 12: in ownership. You've got a lot of reasons to like 404 00:17:24,628 --> 00:17:29,108 Speaker 12: this job with the Las Vegas Raiders. So Kubiak expected 405 00:17:29,188 --> 00:17:31,308 Speaker 12: to be the higher there. We say expected because this 406 00:17:31,348 --> 00:17:34,348 Speaker 12: can't be finalized until after the Super Bowl, but both 407 00:17:34,388 --> 00:17:37,108 Speaker 12: sides of the understanding that this is going to be 408 00:17:37,148 --> 00:17:39,828 Speaker 12: the case. So Kubiak, a highly thought of offensive coordinator. 409 00:17:39,828 --> 00:17:41,668 Speaker 13: You saw what he did both with the. 410 00:17:41,628 --> 00:17:44,508 Speaker 12: Saints last year and the Seahawks this year, has worked 411 00:17:44,508 --> 00:17:48,148 Speaker 12: with Sam Darnold. Gets the chance to get the number 412 00:17:48,148 --> 00:17:50,068 Speaker 12: one overall pick of the draft, and again we expect 413 00:17:50,108 --> 00:17:52,628 Speaker 12: that to be Mendoza. So that's expected to be finalized 414 00:17:52,668 --> 00:17:55,428 Speaker 12: after It's a lot of expectance after the super Bowl. 415 00:17:55,508 --> 00:17:58,348 Speaker 12: So that left the Cardinals as the last of ten 416 00:17:58,428 --> 00:18:01,748 Speaker 12: seats to fill, and Mike Lafleur, the offensive coordinator for 417 00:18:01,788 --> 00:18:02,988 Speaker 12: the Los Angeles. 418 00:18:02,588 --> 00:18:03,668 Speaker 8: Rams, is the guy. 419 00:18:03,908 --> 00:18:08,748 Speaker 12: The veteran coach gets a job where, look, there's a 420 00:18:08,748 --> 00:18:11,108 Speaker 12: lot of work to be done here, the Kyler Murray situation. 421 00:18:11,268 --> 00:18:13,828 Speaker 12: If they let them go, what kind of implications is 422 00:18:13,828 --> 00:18:16,348 Speaker 12: that going to have on the cap Plus, you're taking 423 00:18:16,348 --> 00:18:18,308 Speaker 12: a head coaching job in a division where the three 424 00:18:18,308 --> 00:18:21,108 Speaker 12: other teams are really tough and complete and veteran coaches 425 00:18:21,148 --> 00:18:25,148 Speaker 12: there that have had success in recent years. But Lafleur, look, 426 00:18:25,188 --> 00:18:27,548 Speaker 12: he's been an offensive coordinator before that was fired. So 427 00:18:27,588 --> 00:18:29,828 Speaker 12: you get the chance to become a head coach, you 428 00:18:29,948 --> 00:18:32,108 Speaker 12: take that chance. So this is going to be a 429 00:18:32,108 --> 00:18:33,788 Speaker 12: little bit of a longer build than maybe some of 430 00:18:33,828 --> 00:18:35,908 Speaker 12: these other head coaching jobs that we have seen filled. 431 00:18:35,908 --> 00:18:40,628 Speaker 12: But Laflora takes that job with the Arizona Cardinals. Yes, 432 00:18:40,748 --> 00:18:42,748 Speaker 12: it's all in the family with the NFL, with these 433 00:18:42,748 --> 00:18:45,308 Speaker 12: two hires in the very least, laflor and Kubiak now 434 00:18:45,388 --> 00:18:47,628 Speaker 12: head coaches in Arizona and Vegas. 435 00:18:48,188 --> 00:18:50,188 Speaker 4: All Right, Mike, Gie, thank you so much, appreciate it. 436 00:18:50,388 --> 00:18:52,028 Speaker 4: We've got to keep some of those names in mind. 437 00:18:52,228 --> 00:18:54,948 Speaker 4: And to your point, the teams in which needed these 438 00:18:54,988 --> 00:18:57,108 Speaker 4: new head coaches to come in and turn things around. 439 00:18:57,268 --> 00:18:59,628 Speaker 4: It's always so ironic to have these discussions in Super 440 00:18:59,628 --> 00:19:00,028 Speaker 4: Bowl week. 441 00:19:00,068 --> 00:19:01,028 Speaker 6: This is the pinnacle, this. 442 00:19:00,988 --> 00:19:03,228 Speaker 4: Is where these guys want to turn these groups. 443 00:19:02,908 --> 00:19:04,148 Speaker 6: Around to become Mantai. 444 00:19:04,428 --> 00:19:06,628 Speaker 4: Yep, I'm coming to you first in terms of Kubiak 445 00:19:06,708 --> 00:19:10,988 Speaker 4: and your head down, pen in hand, just thinking about this, 446 00:19:11,228 --> 00:19:15,508 Speaker 4: these hires in Arizona, and yeah, well yes, when. 447 00:19:15,348 --> 00:19:17,268 Speaker 11: You think about these teams, right, they're always wanting to 448 00:19:17,268 --> 00:19:19,588 Speaker 11: see what's the next shiny object. And the shiniest objects 449 00:19:19,588 --> 00:19:21,668 Speaker 11: are the teams that's winning, and so people want to 450 00:19:21,708 --> 00:19:23,948 Speaker 11: have a bite and they want to taste what that 451 00:19:24,028 --> 00:19:26,708 Speaker 11: success looks like, whether it being their head coach or 452 00:19:26,748 --> 00:19:28,628 Speaker 11: in their players. When I look at all of these 453 00:19:28,748 --> 00:19:32,388 Speaker 11: coach head coaching vacancies and these hires, it's the vacancies 454 00:19:32,428 --> 00:19:34,468 Speaker 11: that stand out to me because when I think about 455 00:19:35,068 --> 00:19:38,428 Speaker 11: Mike Tomlin and John Harball no longer being head coaches, guys, 456 00:19:38,468 --> 00:19:39,188 Speaker 11: my youth is over. 457 00:19:39,548 --> 00:19:42,068 Speaker 10: It's over. I remember watching. 458 00:19:41,708 --> 00:19:44,908 Speaker 11: These guys go head to head, went back in. 459 00:19:44,868 --> 00:19:46,588 Speaker 10: Two thousand and eight, two thousand. 460 00:19:46,228 --> 00:19:51,268 Speaker 11: And nine, and the Steelers and the Ravens and Ben Roethlisberger. 461 00:19:50,508 --> 00:19:52,108 Speaker 10: And Troy Polomalu. 462 00:19:52,308 --> 00:19:55,228 Speaker 11: Right, a whole bunch of memories just watching these two 463 00:19:55,268 --> 00:19:58,188 Speaker 11: teams and these two head coaches go at it in 464 00:19:58,228 --> 00:20:01,348 Speaker 11: the AFC North and now that they're no longer there 465 00:20:01,828 --> 00:20:05,108 Speaker 11: coming into this year, the longest tenured coach is Mike Tomlin, 466 00:20:05,188 --> 00:20:07,348 Speaker 11: John Harbaugh, Andy Reid, and the three or eight time 467 00:20:07,668 --> 00:20:10,748 Speaker 11: between Sean mcfake, Kevin Sefanski and Kyle Shannan. Right now 468 00:20:10,748 --> 00:20:14,428 Speaker 11: it's Andy Reid, Sean McVay, Kyle Shanahan, Matt Leflaora, and 469 00:20:14,508 --> 00:20:15,108 Speaker 11: Zach Taylor. 470 00:20:15,268 --> 00:20:17,268 Speaker 10: It's a new time. My youth is. 471 00:20:17,268 --> 00:20:20,468 Speaker 11: Over Zay, and it's a sad thing, but it's also 472 00:20:20,508 --> 00:20:23,748 Speaker 11: a beautiful thing to see the tors The torch kind 473 00:20:23,748 --> 00:20:24,828 Speaker 11: of passed, you know. 474 00:20:24,828 --> 00:20:28,588 Speaker 5: The torch has been passed outside of the Elephante and 475 00:20:28,628 --> 00:20:30,668 Speaker 5: the room that other people in the media have already 476 00:20:30,668 --> 00:20:33,428 Speaker 5: spoken on in regards to their coaching hires. I think 477 00:20:33,428 --> 00:20:35,828 Speaker 5: that this is really a story of three different categories. 478 00:20:36,068 --> 00:20:39,028 Speaker 5: I think it's a story of coaches that have bloodline. 479 00:20:39,468 --> 00:20:41,908 Speaker 5: We talked about QBAC, we talked about Lafleur, we talked 480 00:20:41,948 --> 00:20:44,508 Speaker 5: about I think it's also a story of the tried 481 00:20:44,548 --> 00:20:47,428 Speaker 5: and true of the monk in and the mentor guys 482 00:20:47,468 --> 00:20:49,828 Speaker 5: that have shown that they have been great coordinators in 483 00:20:49,828 --> 00:20:53,068 Speaker 5: the league for a substantial period of time. Or it's 484 00:20:53,068 --> 00:20:55,348 Speaker 5: the story of coaches that have been head coaches and 485 00:20:55,428 --> 00:20:58,548 Speaker 5: have been fired. That is literally the three categories that 486 00:20:58,588 --> 00:21:00,388 Speaker 5: all of these coaches fall into. And I think that's 487 00:21:00,468 --> 00:21:03,948 Speaker 5: very curious that we're seeing organizations kind of shy away 488 00:21:03,988 --> 00:21:07,268 Speaker 5: from this new young talent that's unproven and trying to 489 00:21:07,268 --> 00:21:10,108 Speaker 5: catch the hot guy coming up that has a very 490 00:21:10,148 --> 00:21:12,908 Speaker 5: low floor but a very high ceiling. I think we're 491 00:21:12,908 --> 00:21:15,188 Speaker 5: starting to see these organizations start to say, you know what, 492 00:21:15,388 --> 00:21:18,188 Speaker 5: we need consistency. Even though we know that these guys 493 00:21:18,588 --> 00:21:20,348 Speaker 5: may not have had the success that we would like 494 00:21:20,388 --> 00:21:22,588 Speaker 5: for them to have with our organization, at least we 495 00:21:22,708 --> 00:21:24,148 Speaker 5: know what we're going to get out of them. 496 00:21:24,428 --> 00:21:27,188 Speaker 8: So the floor has been raised. Maybe the ceiling just 497 00:21:27,228 --> 00:21:28,068 Speaker 8: might have lowered as. 498 00:21:27,988 --> 00:21:31,028 Speaker 5: Well, but they're hopeful for something that they haven't had yet. 499 00:21:31,108 --> 00:21:32,828 Speaker 1: We hope is the whole thing right. And I have 500 00:21:33,148 --> 00:21:37,428 Speaker 1: exciting words, but dangerous words. Raiders fans should be very excited. 501 00:21:37,868 --> 00:21:40,188 Speaker 1: God bless, I hope we're right. This Kubiak thing is 502 00:21:40,268 --> 00:21:43,268 Speaker 1: very very cool, because if you're someone who's like, can 503 00:21:43,308 --> 00:21:45,468 Speaker 1: you just get us one of these young whipper snappers 504 00:21:45,508 --> 00:21:46,668 Speaker 1: who knows about offense? 505 00:21:46,908 --> 00:21:49,348 Speaker 8: He checks a lot of boxes. He's in his thirties, 506 00:21:49,388 --> 00:21:50,148 Speaker 8: he knows offense. 507 00:21:50,148 --> 00:21:52,348 Speaker 1: He's been an offensive coordinator in three different places. 508 00:21:52,348 --> 00:21:53,428 Speaker 8: He's been under Shanahan. 509 00:21:53,868 --> 00:21:56,308 Speaker 1: This seems like the kind of guy you want, especially 510 00:21:56,388 --> 00:21:58,468 Speaker 1: in the context. Let's think about what they've had over 511 00:21:58,468 --> 00:22:02,908 Speaker 1: the past several years. So you do Antonio Pierce defensive coach, 512 00:22:03,108 --> 00:22:05,028 Speaker 1: cool higher and you go on the defensive side. 513 00:22:05,108 --> 00:22:05,588 Speaker 8: Doesn't work. 514 00:22:05,708 --> 00:22:07,988 Speaker 1: Then you say, screw it, let's just bring in a 515 00:22:08,028 --> 00:22:10,628 Speaker 1: hall monitor and have Pete Carroll just have be an 516 00:22:10,628 --> 00:22:13,468 Speaker 1: adult in the room. That doesn't work. So you're trying 517 00:22:13,548 --> 00:22:16,268 Speaker 1: different things. You're not just doing the definition of insanity. 518 00:22:16,908 --> 00:22:18,748 Speaker 1: And this guy seems to check the boxes. 519 00:22:18,788 --> 00:22:19,628 Speaker 8: It's like, this is. 520 00:22:19,588 --> 00:22:23,028 Speaker 1: A very professional hire. And I see that sounds so 521 00:22:23,308 --> 00:22:25,628 Speaker 1: condescending to the Raiders. But sometimes it doesn't seem like 522 00:22:25,628 --> 00:22:27,748 Speaker 1: they make that. You take that, you take the number 523 00:22:27,748 --> 00:22:29,388 Speaker 1: one pick, you take Mendoza, and you put them on 524 00:22:29,388 --> 00:22:29,868 Speaker 1: with Kopiak. 525 00:22:30,308 --> 00:22:33,268 Speaker 8: That should work. Sometimes it doesn't with this team. 526 00:22:33,308 --> 00:22:35,388 Speaker 1: But I just feel like if you pick your spot, 527 00:22:35,428 --> 00:22:36,348 Speaker 1: you had a terrible season. 528 00:22:36,388 --> 00:22:38,308 Speaker 8: I get it. This seems like the right. 529 00:22:38,188 --> 00:22:40,148 Speaker 1: Type of coach with the right type of quarterback coming 530 00:22:40,508 --> 00:22:42,308 Speaker 1: and that's a win for the Raiders that we can 531 00:22:42,348 --> 00:22:43,028 Speaker 1: be excited. 532 00:22:43,388 --> 00:22:46,228 Speaker 8: My only other note the other team that should be excited. 533 00:22:46,228 --> 00:22:47,908 Speaker 1: And usually when I talk about this team, I get 534 00:22:47,908 --> 00:22:49,988 Speaker 1: the Shepherds ho to reach me off TV because apparently 535 00:22:49,988 --> 00:22:52,348 Speaker 1: they don't sizzle. If I'm a Titans fan, I love 536 00:22:52,388 --> 00:22:55,228 Speaker 1: where we're at right now. I love where we're at 537 00:22:55,628 --> 00:22:58,148 Speaker 1: because not only do you have Robert Sala, who's going 538 00:22:58,188 --> 00:22:59,508 Speaker 1: to do the defense. 539 00:22:59,068 --> 00:23:01,388 Speaker 8: Thing, the prime table thing is massive. 540 00:23:02,028 --> 00:23:05,788 Speaker 1: That's a massive the fact that they got head coach. 541 00:23:05,628 --> 00:23:07,348 Speaker 8: Talent at the coordinator position. 542 00:23:07,468 --> 00:23:11,228 Speaker 1: It's like getting a late quality draft pick. Now Robert 543 00:23:11,268 --> 00:23:13,988 Speaker 1: Sala can just kick ass on defense what he's put 544 00:23:14,028 --> 00:23:16,588 Speaker 1: on the planet to do. You hand the keys to 545 00:23:16,668 --> 00:23:19,548 Speaker 1: cam Ward and the offense to Dable. This is so 546 00:23:19,748 --> 00:23:22,548 Speaker 1: different from the Jets thing. It's not this mercurial Aaron 547 00:23:22,628 --> 00:23:25,908 Speaker 1: Rodgers thing. It's not the New York media. It's calm. 548 00:23:26,068 --> 00:23:29,228 Speaker 1: Its expectations are a little lower and it's all hands 549 00:23:29,268 --> 00:23:31,428 Speaker 1: on deck. If you could ask me who I think 550 00:23:31,468 --> 00:23:34,468 Speaker 1: had the best coaching cycle, highering cycle of any team 551 00:23:34,468 --> 00:23:35,068 Speaker 1: in the league. 552 00:23:35,148 --> 00:23:36,188 Speaker 8: I think it's the Titans. 553 00:23:36,228 --> 00:23:40,348 Speaker 1: I like Sala, but I love Sala and Dabel together 554 00:23:40,548 --> 00:23:41,828 Speaker 1: and I think this is going to work. 555 00:23:41,988 --> 00:23:44,388 Speaker 4: Kyle, can I interest you in something that Isaiah Stamback 556 00:23:44,508 --> 00:23:46,508 Speaker 4: just whispered in my ear, which this is going to 557 00:23:46,548 --> 00:23:49,108 Speaker 4: intrigue you. You said, not only that Sala is going 558 00:23:49,188 --> 00:23:51,388 Speaker 4: to be in charge of the defense, not only is 559 00:23:51,428 --> 00:23:53,508 Speaker 4: Brian Davill going to be in charge of the offense. 560 00:23:53,668 --> 00:23:56,588 Speaker 4: Isaiah Stanback say the two words that the special teams 561 00:23:56,628 --> 00:23:57,588 Speaker 4: are in charge. 562 00:23:57,268 --> 00:23:58,948 Speaker 8: Of Bones Fossil. 563 00:23:59,108 --> 00:24:02,228 Speaker 4: Bones Fossil was with the Titans last year. He was 564 00:24:02,308 --> 00:24:05,028 Speaker 4: retained as the special teams guy. Bones Fossil is the 565 00:24:05,108 --> 00:24:07,548 Speaker 4: ultimate special teams guy with the Cowboys for. 566 00:24:07,508 --> 00:24:08,148 Speaker 6: A long time. 567 00:24:08,468 --> 00:24:10,348 Speaker 4: The fact that the Titans retained him and now he 568 00:24:10,388 --> 00:24:12,108 Speaker 4: gets to stay in charge of the Titans special teams. 569 00:24:12,108 --> 00:24:13,948 Speaker 8: Look out, that's nasty. 570 00:24:14,108 --> 00:24:18,988 Speaker 4: That's t Bones, Sola and Dable, that's pure hard work, 571 00:24:19,068 --> 00:24:24,228 Speaker 4: you know what I mean about the Tennessee Titans. So 572 00:24:24,268 --> 00:24:26,748 Speaker 4: the New England Patriots are looking to win and bring 573 00:24:26,788 --> 00:24:30,228 Speaker 4: home a record seventh Lombardi Trophy, three of which came 574 00:24:30,308 --> 00:24:32,748 Speaker 4: courtesy and a part of our next guest who made 575 00:24:32,748 --> 00:24:36,428 Speaker 4: sure Tom Brady's jersey was kept clean, pristine. 576 00:24:36,148 --> 00:24:37,068 Speaker 6: Uprights, if you will. 577 00:24:37,148 --> 00:24:40,588 Speaker 4: Let's welcome in Patriots legend Matt on that. 578 00:24:44,108 --> 00:24:45,468 Speaker 6: Good morning morning Peter. 579 00:24:45,588 --> 00:24:48,628 Speaker 4: Yeah, that's exactly, That's the kind of zest we need, Matt. 580 00:24:48,668 --> 00:24:51,388 Speaker 6: Awesome to see you. Not many people outside of Foxborough 581 00:24:51,428 --> 00:24:52,628 Speaker 6: had this team in the Super Bowl. 582 00:24:52,748 --> 00:24:54,988 Speaker 4: I'm not sure many people in Foxborough had it. At 583 00:24:55,028 --> 00:24:56,668 Speaker 4: least fans down the street, you know what I mean. 584 00:24:56,828 --> 00:24:59,428 Speaker 4: You always believe in your team, though, What has impressed 585 00:24:59,468 --> 00:25:01,708 Speaker 4: you most about the twenty twenty five Patriots? 586 00:25:01,988 --> 00:25:03,828 Speaker 14: You know, I mean a lot of things have impressed me, 587 00:25:03,868 --> 00:25:05,548 Speaker 14: but I think one of the things that I take 588 00:25:05,588 --> 00:25:08,108 Speaker 14: the most from this season is the fact that in 589 00:25:08,148 --> 00:25:11,068 Speaker 14: a very short period of time, Mike Vrabel was able 590 00:25:11,068 --> 00:25:13,508 Speaker 14: to not only get this coaching staff and you know, 591 00:25:13,548 --> 00:25:15,748 Speaker 14: get with the media people on all the business side 592 00:25:15,748 --> 00:25:17,988 Speaker 14: of the game, but also connect with each and every 593 00:25:17,988 --> 00:25:20,268 Speaker 14: one of those players and figure out a way to 594 00:25:20,348 --> 00:25:23,268 Speaker 14: get them to buy into a culture and a mindset 595 00:25:23,508 --> 00:25:26,908 Speaker 14: that includes toughness. And really it comes down to three 596 00:25:26,948 --> 00:25:29,468 Speaker 14: things that we used to talk about back when I 597 00:25:29,508 --> 00:25:33,188 Speaker 14: was playing with Rabel here in New England. Smart, fast, 598 00:25:33,228 --> 00:25:35,828 Speaker 14: and nasty, And I think you see this team play 599 00:25:36,028 --> 00:25:39,588 Speaker 14: that style of football, which for New Englanders we love 600 00:25:39,668 --> 00:25:40,108 Speaker 14: to see that. 601 00:25:40,508 --> 00:25:42,548 Speaker 11: Now you talked about, you know, things that you were 602 00:25:42,588 --> 00:25:43,708 Speaker 11: taught when you were there. 603 00:25:43,788 --> 00:25:45,708 Speaker 10: Let's go back to when you were there in your rookieyear. 604 00:25:45,748 --> 00:25:48,908 Speaker 11: The Patriots surprised everyone and beat the Greatest Show on 605 00:25:48,988 --> 00:25:51,948 Speaker 11: Turf for your first Super Bowl. Do you see any 606 00:25:51,988 --> 00:25:54,748 Speaker 11: similarities between that team and this one that we're about 607 00:25:54,788 --> 00:25:55,588 Speaker 11: to watch on Sunday. 608 00:25:55,908 --> 00:25:58,748 Speaker 14: Well, I think some of the ones that stick out 609 00:25:58,828 --> 00:26:00,788 Speaker 14: really easily, or the fact that you have a second 610 00:26:00,868 --> 00:26:03,908 Speaker 14: year quarterback and I can remember, you know, number twelve 611 00:26:03,908 --> 00:26:07,188 Speaker 14: being that second year guy, and and you know, getting 612 00:26:07,468 --> 00:26:10,188 Speaker 14: the call, and then you got a rookie left tackle, 613 00:26:10,308 --> 00:26:13,028 Speaker 14: which I can relate to. And and I think too 614 00:26:13,068 --> 00:26:15,668 Speaker 14: that the idea that there weren't a lot of expectations, 615 00:26:15,748 --> 00:26:18,068 Speaker 14: right that you know, we were this no name team 616 00:26:18,148 --> 00:26:21,068 Speaker 14: that came out and didn't have the individual you know, 617 00:26:21,188 --> 00:26:24,428 Speaker 14: kind of acknowledgements with their name. We came out as 618 00:26:24,428 --> 00:26:26,788 Speaker 14: a team, We played as a team, and I'll tell 619 00:26:26,788 --> 00:26:29,308 Speaker 14: you what, we had a lot of fun. That's another similarity. 620 00:26:29,548 --> 00:26:31,788 Speaker 14: I've watched these guys. I've watched the way they handle 621 00:26:31,828 --> 00:26:34,788 Speaker 14: the media, and they talked about how much they enjoyed 622 00:26:34,828 --> 00:26:36,188 Speaker 14: being in that locker room. 623 00:26:36,468 --> 00:26:37,548 Speaker 13: That goes a long ways. 624 00:26:38,148 --> 00:26:40,868 Speaker 5: Man, Man, you played with Raves the early in his 625 00:26:40,988 --> 00:26:43,308 Speaker 5: career in terms of like the early Dynasty years. We 626 00:26:43,388 --> 00:26:45,628 Speaker 5: know who he is as a player, we know who 627 00:26:45,628 --> 00:26:47,828 Speaker 5: he is as a coach, but how was he as 628 00:26:47,868 --> 00:26:48,388 Speaker 5: a teammate. 629 00:26:48,588 --> 00:26:54,148 Speaker 14: Well, you know, Raves had this unbelievable knack for getting 630 00:26:54,188 --> 00:26:54,908 Speaker 14: under your skin. 631 00:26:55,028 --> 00:26:55,228 Speaker 10: Right. 632 00:26:55,308 --> 00:26:58,588 Speaker 14: If he was on your team, he was the Rodney Harrison. 633 00:26:58,628 --> 00:27:00,868 Speaker 14: He was the guy that you loved because he was 634 00:27:00,948 --> 00:27:03,388 Speaker 14: on your team. If he was not on your team, 635 00:27:03,668 --> 00:27:06,428 Speaker 14: you were looking at knock him out, right, because he 636 00:27:06,548 --> 00:27:08,948 Speaker 14: just had a way of getting under your skin and 637 00:27:08,988 --> 00:27:09,708 Speaker 14: his hustle. 638 00:27:09,788 --> 00:27:11,148 Speaker 13: Man, he just was relentless. 639 00:27:11,228 --> 00:27:14,468 Speaker 14: He was also the guy that after the toughest practice 640 00:27:14,708 --> 00:27:16,908 Speaker 14: would be in there running five more miles on a 641 00:27:16,988 --> 00:27:19,148 Speaker 14: treadmill showing off how he did it. 642 00:27:19,388 --> 00:27:21,988 Speaker 13: Endless amounts of energy.
