What is the What was the 9 00:00:28,360 --> 00:00:31,640 Speaker 2: goal of veterans when you went to training camp. 10 00:00:32,680 --> 00:00:35,080 Speaker 3: Oh, the goal of veterans is to show the younger 11 00:00:35,120 --> 00:00:38,440 Speaker 3: players the way, you know, be the leader out there 12 00:00:38,440 --> 00:00:42,200 Speaker 3: out on the football field and get that chemistry going 13 00:00:42,600 --> 00:00:47,239 Speaker 3: within you know, the team, within the organization and go 14 00:00:47,280 --> 00:00:50,879 Speaker 3: out there and show everyone how it's done out on 15 00:00:50,920 --> 00:00:54,400 Speaker 3: the football field and try to find ways to get better, 16 00:00:54,480 --> 00:00:56,760 Speaker 3: because you can make big jumps from your rookie year 17 00:00:56,800 --> 00:00:58,480 Speaker 3: to your second year, but when you're a vet, you 18 00:00:58,520 --> 00:01:03,000 Speaker 3: got to find those little tiny details that can you know, 19 00:01:03,160 --> 00:01:07,240 Speaker 3: make your game just a little bit better. Compared to 20 00:01:07,480 --> 00:01:09,840 Speaker 3: when a rookie is going into a second year, you 21 00:01:09,880 --> 00:01:12,200 Speaker 3: see big improvement, but you just got to find those 22 00:01:12,240 --> 00:01:14,960 Speaker 3: ways to stay in the league and be better so 23 00:01:15,000 --> 00:01:15,720 Speaker 3: you can stick. 24 00:01:15,480 --> 00:01:18,240 Speaker 2: Around Okay, but tell me what you didn't know your 25 00:01:18,319 --> 00:01:18,920 Speaker 2: rookie year. 26 00:01:20,040 --> 00:01:22,080 Speaker 3: Ah, the playbook, I can tell you that that was 27 00:01:22,200 --> 00:01:28,160 Speaker 3: number one. Also, understanding defenses. You know, you can go 28 00:01:28,200 --> 00:01:32,160 Speaker 3: over defenses and meetings and understand what cloud coverage is, 29 00:01:32,200 --> 00:01:36,520 Speaker 3: what cover two coverages, But to truly understand a defense, 30 00:01:36,680 --> 00:01:39,080 Speaker 3: you got to get repetitions out. 31 00:01:38,840 --> 00:01:39,839 Speaker 4: On the football field. 32 00:01:39,920 --> 00:01:41,880 Speaker 3: You got to be able to go against that type 33 00:01:41,880 --> 00:01:44,840 Speaker 3: of speed, because it's different from when you're in college. 34 00:01:44,880 --> 00:01:46,080 Speaker 4: When you get to the NFL. 35 00:01:46,480 --> 00:01:49,440 Speaker 3: Man, it's like everything's going so fast, and I remember 36 00:01:49,520 --> 00:01:51,520 Speaker 3: that my first time I stepped down on the football field, 37 00:01:51,560 --> 00:01:52,880 Speaker 3: I was like, how am I going to deal with this? 38 00:01:53,160 --> 00:01:56,279 Speaker 3: Everything's just racing in my mind. These linebackers are so fast. 39 00:01:56,360 --> 00:01:58,520 Speaker 3: Usually I'm so much faster than everyone else. So it's 40 00:01:58,520 --> 00:02:02,600 Speaker 3: about getting the repetition and the reps and going out 41 00:02:02,640 --> 00:02:05,240 Speaker 3: there and having the game slow down for you, and 42 00:02:05,280 --> 00:02:08,919 Speaker 3: getting the feel of the defenders out on the football field. 43 00:02:09,160 --> 00:02:12,480 Speaker 2: To me, the defender you had to keep your eye out. 44 00:02:13,080 --> 00:02:16,799 Speaker 4: For, oh, like I'm on my team or the opposition, 45 00:02:17,919 --> 00:02:20,880 Speaker 4: just you know, going against another team. Okay, I mean 46 00:02:21,280 --> 00:02:23,320 Speaker 4: I always had a battle with myself. That's what I 47 00:02:23,400 --> 00:02:25,640 Speaker 4: always said. If I was on point and I was 48 00:02:25,639 --> 00:02:26,520 Speaker 4: feeling my game. 49 00:02:26,600 --> 00:02:28,760 Speaker 3: I felt like I could go against anyone else at 50 00:02:28,800 --> 00:02:32,320 Speaker 3: any other time and dominate, you know. But if I 51 00:02:32,400 --> 00:02:35,680 Speaker 3: wasn't on point, if I wasn't feeling myself, if I 52 00:02:35,800 --> 00:02:39,720 Speaker 3: wasn't I would say activated, you know, and going full go. 53 00:02:39,840 --> 00:02:42,040 Speaker 3: And I was feeling slow, I felt like I could 54 00:02:42,040 --> 00:02:44,520 Speaker 3: get covered by any single person in the league. There 55 00:02:44,560 --> 00:02:46,440 Speaker 3: was one time in training camp, I think it was 56 00:02:46,440 --> 00:02:48,840 Speaker 3: my eighth year, when going into training camp with the 57 00:02:48,880 --> 00:02:51,519 Speaker 3: New England Patriots, and I was getting covered by undrafted 58 00:02:51,560 --> 00:02:55,400 Speaker 3: free agents just because I wasn't feeling myself. 59 00:02:55,440 --> 00:02:57,000 Speaker 4: My body wasn't cooperating with me. 60 00:02:57,320 --> 00:03:01,920 Speaker 3: So the NFL is a lot more, you know, a 61 00:03:02,000 --> 00:03:05,600 Speaker 3: battle against yourself on a daily basis. It's hard to 62 00:03:05,680 --> 00:03:08,840 Speaker 3: beat up every single day, you know, especially with the 63 00:03:08,840 --> 00:03:09,920 Speaker 3: beating that you can take. 64 00:03:10,040 --> 00:03:11,160 Speaker 4: You want to be activit. 65 00:03:11,200 --> 00:03:13,840 Speaker 3: You want the muscles firing, and when they're not, I 66 00:03:13,880 --> 00:03:16,239 Speaker 3: feel like anyone can cover you at any given time, 67 00:03:16,320 --> 00:03:21,080 Speaker 3: but just opponents wise, I would say. In the run 68 00:03:21,080 --> 00:03:25,239 Speaker 3: blocking game, though, Terrell Suggs was an absolute monster, absolute beast. 69 00:03:25,400 --> 00:03:28,160 Speaker 3: And it's not because he was just so strong, you know, 70 00:03:28,360 --> 00:03:31,880 Speaker 3: and and scary looking. It's because he brought it every 71 00:03:32,200 --> 00:03:34,800 Speaker 3: single play and he had that burst off the ball. 72 00:03:34,960 --> 00:03:36,160 Speaker 4: And same with von Miller. 73 00:03:36,200 --> 00:03:39,360 Speaker 3: That dude was impossible to get your hands on because 74 00:03:39,400 --> 00:03:41,520 Speaker 3: he was just so quick and that burst was just 75 00:03:41,560 --> 00:03:44,320 Speaker 3: so lethal that you know he had the advantage there. 76 00:03:44,560 --> 00:03:47,000 Speaker 2: What is Travis Kelsey battling this year? 77 00:03:48,040 --> 00:03:52,080 Speaker 3: Uh, Travis Kelsey? What is he battling this year? I 78 00:03:52,080 --> 00:03:55,960 Speaker 3: would say he wants to win football games, that's for sure. 79 00:03:56,000 --> 00:03:59,440 Speaker 3: He wants to win another championship before he retires. So 80 00:04:00,400 --> 00:04:02,880 Speaker 3: he wants to get back to the Super Bowl, which 81 00:04:02,920 --> 00:04:03,840 Speaker 3: is a tough task to do. 82 00:04:03,960 --> 00:04:05,160 Speaker 4: They've already done it three. 83 00:04:05,040 --> 00:04:06,360 Speaker 3: Years in a row. Are they going to do it 84 00:04:06,360 --> 00:04:08,440 Speaker 3: four years in a row? They have a chance for sure. 85 00:04:09,120 --> 00:04:11,800 Speaker 3: I would also say that he wants to go out there. 86 00:04:12,000 --> 00:04:16,159 Speaker 3: I mean, I don't know, you know him personally like 87 00:04:16,279 --> 00:04:18,640 Speaker 3: that that and I can't really speak for him, but 88 00:04:18,720 --> 00:04:22,760 Speaker 3: after watching, you know, last year in the Super Bowl, 89 00:04:22,760 --> 00:04:24,120 Speaker 3: I feel like he wants to go out there and 90 00:04:24,200 --> 00:04:26,919 Speaker 3: prove to everyone that he still has a lot left 91 00:04:26,960 --> 00:04:28,880 Speaker 3: in the tank and he can go out there and 92 00:04:28,960 --> 00:04:32,200 Speaker 3: compete at a high level, which I truly believe he will, 93 00:04:32,279 --> 00:04:34,360 Speaker 3: or else he want to have came back to play 94 00:04:34,360 --> 00:04:35,520 Speaker 3: football again this year. 95 00:04:35,800 --> 00:04:38,719 Speaker 2: But at that position, how much of it is just 96 00:04:39,040 --> 00:04:43,479 Speaker 2: understanding body position. He's not gonna be running by guys 97 00:04:43,520 --> 00:04:45,599 Speaker 2: the way he once did, So now it comes down 98 00:04:45,640 --> 00:04:49,479 Speaker 2: to football IQ of how smart I can be. And 99 00:04:49,560 --> 00:04:52,120 Speaker 2: I don't know how much that plays or played for 100 00:04:52,200 --> 00:04:55,200 Speaker 2: you when you played that position later in your career. 101 00:04:55,839 --> 00:04:58,480 Speaker 3: Well, that's kind of going back to your first question, 102 00:04:58,560 --> 00:05:00,200 Speaker 3: Dan is when you were talking about what what is 103 00:05:00,240 --> 00:05:02,360 Speaker 3: a veteran do going into a training camp, Well, it's 104 00:05:02,360 --> 00:05:05,880 Speaker 3: finding the little niches to stay around even though your 105 00:05:05,920 --> 00:05:08,560 Speaker 3: skills aren't up the power compared to when you. 106 00:05:08,480 --> 00:05:10,279 Speaker 4: Were twenty three twenty four years old. 107 00:05:10,560 --> 00:05:12,920 Speaker 3: And that happened to me my last couple of years, 108 00:05:13,000 --> 00:05:15,679 Speaker 3: especially down in Tampa. It was just knowing the niche 109 00:05:15,680 --> 00:05:18,120 Speaker 3: of the game, knowing the defenses, knowing where to be 110 00:05:18,160 --> 00:05:20,880 Speaker 3: in zone coverage. Yeah, I wasn't running by anyone in 111 00:05:20,920 --> 00:05:23,760 Speaker 3: my stats weren't particularly like they were when I was younger. 112 00:05:23,960 --> 00:05:26,000 Speaker 3: But guess what I was still contributing because I was 113 00:05:26,040 --> 00:05:28,359 Speaker 3: blocking guys and also I was finding the space in 114 00:05:28,400 --> 00:05:30,800 Speaker 3: the zone and making the plays When my number was 115 00:05:30,839 --> 00:05:34,960 Speaker 3: called Travis Kelcey, Yeah, he probably won't be making moves 116 00:05:35,000 --> 00:05:37,480 Speaker 3: like he was back, you know, four or five years ago. 117 00:05:37,600 --> 00:05:40,040 Speaker 4: But the guy knows the game of football. 118 00:05:40,080 --> 00:05:42,640 Speaker 3: He's such a smart football player, and he has that 119 00:05:42,680 --> 00:05:45,920 Speaker 3: connection in chemistry with Patrick Mahomes as well, and that's 120 00:05:45,960 --> 00:05:48,280 Speaker 3: what keeps him going. Every once in a while, I'm 121 00:05:48,279 --> 00:05:50,599 Speaker 3: sure he's going to feel himself and have that boost 122 00:05:50,839 --> 00:05:53,480 Speaker 3: to get to get by someone and run by someone. 123 00:05:53,680 --> 00:05:56,600 Speaker 3: But overall, I would say his smarts of the game 124 00:05:56,600 --> 00:05:58,960 Speaker 3: of football is what keeps them around and what keeps 125 00:05:59,000 --> 00:06:01,640 Speaker 3: them at eighty plus by just finding the hole and 126 00:06:01,680 --> 00:06:03,960 Speaker 3: sitting down and just catching it and going up the 127 00:06:03,960 --> 00:06:04,960 Speaker 3: field for a first down. 128 00:06:05,440 --> 00:06:09,240 Speaker 2: Rob Grinkowski four time Super Bowl champ joining us. What 129 00:06:09,800 --> 00:06:11,960 Speaker 2: Super Bowl ring would you wear to the Hall of 130 00:06:12,000 --> 00:06:13,000 Speaker 2: Fame when you're inducted. 131 00:06:13,480 --> 00:06:15,760 Speaker 3: Yeah, I would definitely wear my first Super Bowl ring 132 00:06:15,880 --> 00:06:18,279 Speaker 3: to the Hall of Fame when we beat the Seattle 133 00:06:18,279 --> 00:06:21,159 Speaker 3: Seahawks and Super Bowl forty nine, it was hands down 134 00:06:21,200 --> 00:06:22,640 Speaker 3: one of the best Super Bowl. 135 00:06:22,360 --> 00:06:23,400 Speaker 4: Games to be played. 136 00:06:23,640 --> 00:06:26,520 Speaker 3: We were down, we came back, the Seattle Seahawks came 137 00:06:26,560 --> 00:06:28,359 Speaker 3: back when we got up on them, and then the 138 00:06:28,400 --> 00:06:31,600 Speaker 3: final drive, obviously with the Malcolm Butler interception to seal 139 00:06:31,680 --> 00:06:32,040 Speaker 3: the deal. 140 00:06:32,440 --> 00:06:37,479 Speaker 4: I contributed. I had a touchdown going into the first half. 141 00:06:37,880 --> 00:06:40,880 Speaker 3: In the two minute drill, a Mindola had a touchdown, 142 00:06:40,960 --> 00:06:43,599 Speaker 3: Julian had a touchdown, our boy Shane Veren out of 143 00:06:43,600 --> 00:06:45,240 Speaker 3: the backfield had like ten catches. 144 00:06:45,440 --> 00:06:47,599 Speaker 4: So it was an overall great team win. 145 00:06:48,040 --> 00:06:49,440 Speaker 3: And on top of it, it was one of the 146 00:06:49,480 --> 00:06:52,360 Speaker 3: best Super bowls out there and it got me into 147 00:06:52,360 --> 00:06:53,359 Speaker 3: the super Bowl club. 148 00:06:54,160 --> 00:06:57,480 Speaker 2: But how surprised were you to be on the sidelines 149 00:06:57,880 --> 00:07:01,320 Speaker 2: watching Seattle throw that as opposed to give it to 150 00:07:01,320 --> 00:07:02,080 Speaker 2: Marshawn Lynch. 151 00:07:02,600 --> 00:07:04,919 Speaker 3: Well, you got to give credit to Dante high Tower, 152 00:07:04,920 --> 00:07:07,240 Speaker 3: who has the biggest casts in the NFL. 153 00:07:07,279 --> 00:07:08,599 Speaker 4: When he was playing that. 154 00:07:08,960 --> 00:07:11,920 Speaker 3: They ran a similar They ran a play where they 155 00:07:11,960 --> 00:07:14,200 Speaker 3: handed it off the beast mode right before that, and 156 00:07:14,280 --> 00:07:17,200 Speaker 3: Dante high Tower made the tackle one on one on 157 00:07:17,320 --> 00:07:20,320 Speaker 3: beast modes, which is very very rare. But Dante high 158 00:07:20,360 --> 00:07:22,400 Speaker 3: Tower is such a beast as well that he was 159 00:07:22,440 --> 00:07:25,320 Speaker 3: able to bring him down, so that maybe kind of 160 00:07:25,640 --> 00:07:27,960 Speaker 3: switch up the play call for that final play that 161 00:07:28,040 --> 00:07:30,560 Speaker 3: they had because he already got tackled on the two 162 00:07:30,640 --> 00:07:34,280 Speaker 3: yard line from Dante high Tower, I mean to throw 163 00:07:34,360 --> 00:07:38,360 Speaker 3: the ball as well.

If he 233 00:10:46,880 --> 00:10:48,920 Speaker 3: was in the training room, you know, in the regular 234 00:10:48,960 --> 00:10:51,400 Speaker 3: season a little bit, it didn't matter. We knew that 235 00:10:51,480 --> 00:10:54,080 Speaker 3: we could count on Dante High Tower, and he came 236 00:10:54,120 --> 00:10:57,560 Speaker 3: through in Atlanta versus the Atlanta Falcons in that Super Bowl. 237 00:10:57,640 --> 00:10:59,280 Speaker 4: Unfortunately, I had been playing that one. 238 00:10:59,280 --> 00:11:01,240 Speaker 3: I was having a great year and then I went 239 00:11:01,360 --> 00:11:05,079 Speaker 3: up to see him and Earl Thomas, the absolute missile of. 240 00:11:05,040 --> 00:11:05,960 Speaker 4: A guy that he is. 241 00:11:06,040 --> 00:11:07,640 Speaker 3: He hit me when I was going up to see 242 00:11:07,679 --> 00:11:10,440 Speaker 3: him full speed and punctured my lung and broke my 243 00:11:10,520 --> 00:11:12,679 Speaker 3: back basically in half. So I was out for that 244 00:11:12,760 --> 00:11:16,720 Speaker 3: Super Bowl, and then obviously he came through in the 245 00:11:16,760 --> 00:11:20,800 Speaker 3: Super Bowl forty nine as well when he stopped be smoke. 246 00:11:20,960 --> 00:11:23,040 Speaker 2: I know you got your podcast with Julian Edelman. 247 00:11:23,679 --> 00:11:24,080 Speaker 5: I was. 248 00:11:24,440 --> 00:11:29,160 Speaker 2: I still can hear Cam Chancellor hit Edelman when he 249 00:11:29,480 --> 00:11:34,160 Speaker 2: made the catch, you know, going over the middle, and 250 00:11:34,200 --> 00:11:37,800 Speaker 2: then he ended up running like what's seven yards after that. 251 00:11:39,040 --> 00:11:41,840 Speaker 2: It's one of the hardest hits that I've heard grunk 252 00:11:42,480 --> 00:11:46,680 Speaker 2: and Edelman said he wasn't concussed. I still think he 253 00:11:46,920 --> 00:11:47,800 Speaker 2: had a concussion. 254 00:11:48,600 --> 00:11:51,640 Speaker 3: Put it this way, That just shows you know what 255 00:11:51,840 --> 00:11:54,040 Speaker 3: type of player Julian Adelman is. 256 00:11:54,080 --> 00:11:55,840 Speaker 4: It just shows his toughness as well. 257 00:11:55,880 --> 00:12:00,160 Speaker 3: He got absolutely cremated across the middle by one of 258 00:12:00,160 --> 00:12:03,160 Speaker 3: the hardest hitting safeties and not just hardest hitting safeties, 259 00:12:03,200 --> 00:12:06,120 Speaker 3: one of the biggest safeties and athletic safeties they'll play 260 00:12:06,200 --> 00:12:09,520 Speaker 3: the game of football. And he got right up to 261 00:12:09,600 --> 00:12:12,400 Speaker 3: keep on running. That just shows how trained and how 262 00:12:12,520 --> 00:12:15,680 Speaker 3: programmed that he is and how bad that he wants 263 00:12:15,720 --> 00:12:18,000 Speaker 3: to win. You know, the game of you know, win 264 00:12:18,080 --> 00:12:20,400 Speaker 3: the games. When he's playing the game of football, especially 265 00:12:20,400 --> 00:12:22,680 Speaker 3: with the Super Bowl on the line, I think he 266 00:12:22,760 --> 00:12:25,719 Speaker 3: got can cuss as well. But Julian Adelman is an 267 00:12:25,800 --> 00:12:28,400 Speaker 3: absolute fighter and an absolute dog and that's why he 268 00:12:28,440 --> 00:12:30,080 Speaker 3: has three Super Bowl rings as well. 269 00:12:30,240 --> 00:12:30,480 Speaker 4: Well. 270 00:12:30,520 --> 00:12:33,520 Speaker 2: He ended up having that catch against Atlanta, the ricochet 271 00:12:33,600 --> 00:12:36,920 Speaker 2: that was. I mean, so we're talking about you know, 272 00:12:37,160 --> 00:12:39,640 Speaker 2: Brady and Belichick get all the credit, and you know 273 00:12:39,760 --> 00:12:42,040 Speaker 2: they should get most of it, but you're talking about 274 00:12:42,520 --> 00:12:45,640 Speaker 2: other players who make these small Malcolm Butler like these 275 00:12:45,679 --> 00:12:50,240 Speaker 2: small little things, you you know, Ammondola, Like, that's what 276 00:12:50,400 --> 00:12:54,319 Speaker 2: sometimes I think gets lost with great teams is having 277 00:12:54,800 --> 00:12:57,560 Speaker 2: the other people that fill in kind of you know 278 00:12:57,640 --> 00:12:58,600 Speaker 2: the gray area there. 279 00:12:59,520 --> 00:13:03,480 Speaker 3: Yeah, definitely, And you know, but we've all gotten plenty 280 00:13:03,520 --> 00:13:06,040 Speaker 3: of credit and we're all not looking for more credit 281 00:13:06,080 --> 00:13:09,000 Speaker 3: because we receive plenty of credit as well. Julian Edelman 282 00:13:10,520 --> 00:13:14,000 Speaker 3: receives plenty of credit, Amondola. Every time we see each other, 283 00:13:14,080 --> 00:13:17,560 Speaker 3: we reminisce about our championships and about playing together. 284 00:13:17,840 --> 00:13:19,800 Speaker 4: But I just want to go back to that catch 285 00:13:19,840 --> 00:13:20,520 Speaker 4: as well. 286 00:13:20,280 --> 00:13:24,120 Speaker 3: With Julian Edelman with the Atlanta Falcons, and and also 287 00:13:24,240 --> 00:13:26,360 Speaker 3: you saw him get leveled by Cam Chancellor. 288 00:13:26,480 --> 00:13:29,560 Speaker 4: Basically, it can cause and keep going.

And I still 368 00:16:44,840 --> 00:16:46,800 Speaker 9: feel like I had so much to improve and get 369 00:16:46,840 --> 00:16:48,840 Speaker 9: better at and you know, I think that was something 370 00:16:48,880 --> 00:16:50,240 Speaker 9: that we accomplished my senior year. 371 00:16:50,280 --> 00:16:53,160 Speaker 2: And then you played what thirteen or fourteen more games, 372 00:16:53,200 --> 00:16:56,120 Speaker 2: and scouts like to have around twenty five to thirty 373 00:16:56,200 --> 00:16:59,280 Speaker 2: starts to be able to assess, so I think you 374 00:16:59,320 --> 00:17:03,360 Speaker 2: had to forty forty five starts in your careers. That 375 00:17:03,440 --> 00:17:04,440 Speaker 2: sound about Ryan. 376 00:17:04,720 --> 00:17:05,679 Speaker 8: Yeah, that sounds about right. 377 00:17:05,760 --> 00:17:08,960 Speaker 9: I missed six games my sophomore year with a broken clavicle, 378 00:17:09,520 --> 00:17:11,560 Speaker 9: so I feel like that was, you know, good film 379 00:17:11,560 --> 00:17:12,879 Speaker 9: to put back on on tape. 380 00:17:13,320 --> 00:17:15,119 Speaker 2: How's the relationship with coach Harbaugh. 381 00:17:16,160 --> 00:17:18,280 Speaker 8: It's awesome.

That's his main focus. 387 00:17:27,920 --> 00:17:31,200 Speaker 9: He's a little goofy though at times. Right, Yeah, And 388 00:17:31,240 --> 00:17:33,080 Speaker 9: I think that's a good thing, you know. I think, 389 00:17:33,560 --> 00:17:36,240 Speaker 9: you know, to have a personality as a coach is great. 390 00:17:36,240 --> 00:17:38,280 Speaker 9: He walks into team meeting rooms and you know, it's 391 00:17:38,280 --> 00:17:41,200 Speaker 9: it's not always just football, it's you know, it's it's 392 00:17:41,200 --> 00:17:41,679 Speaker 9: more than that. 393 00:17:41,720 --> 00:17:43,000 Speaker 8: And I think the guys respect that. 394 00:17:43,040 --> 00:17:45,560 Speaker 9: They appreciate that, and it makes it easier to you know, 395 00:17:45,800 --> 00:17:46,480 Speaker 9: relate to him. 396 00:17:46,720 --> 00:17:51,240 Speaker 2: How would you assess his throwing motion, his arm? 397 00:17:51,280 --> 00:17:53,600 Speaker 8: I actually haven't seen him throw a lot recently. 398 00:17:53,640 --> 00:17:57,560 Speaker 9: I think he's been catching more passes and you know, 399 00:17:57,600 --> 00:17:59,600 Speaker 9: I think his arms have kind of taken a toll 400 00:17:59,640 --> 00:18:02,240 Speaker 9: and but he. 401 00:18:02,200 --> 00:18:03,159 Speaker 8: Can still throw if you need to. 402 00:18:03,440 --> 00:18:06,040 Speaker 2: Okay, you're being polite here, You're you're choosing your words 403 00:18:06,080 --> 00:18:06,800 Speaker 2: carefully there. 404 00:18:07,600 --> 00:18:08,400 Speaker 8: I respect that man. 405 00:18:09,920 --> 00:18:11,760 Speaker 2: Does he go into the weight room with you guys? 406 00:18:12,840 --> 00:18:15,080 Speaker 9: Yeah, he's in there all the time. He's lifting, he's uh, 407 00:18:15,119 --> 00:18:16,760 Speaker 9: he's getting in the cold tubs. He does everything the 408 00:18:16,760 --> 00:18:17,800 Speaker 9: player does. It's awesome. 409 00:18:17,840 --> 00:18:20,720 Speaker 2: Wait, he gets in the cold tub with you. He 410 00:18:20,800 --> 00:18:24,719 Speaker 2: does well, not not like with me specifically, but oh, 411 00:18:24,720 --> 00:18:26,480 Speaker 2: there's only room for one in the cold tub. 412 00:18:27,000 --> 00:18:29,440 Speaker 8: No, it could fit, you know, fifteen fifteen guys. 413 00:18:29,560 --> 00:18:33,639 Speaker 9: So after practice he's in there recovering and doing everything 414 00:18:33,640 --> 00:18:35,920 Speaker 9: he can to you know, maximizes his recovery. 415 00:18:36,240 --> 00:18:38,879 Speaker 2: But his brother said that Jim gets in the the 416 00:18:39,359 --> 00:18:43,280 Speaker 2: ice tub in his khakis. Is that right he has before? 417 00:18:43,560 --> 00:18:47,720 Speaker 9: Yes, I think it's maybe a you know, a time 418 00:18:47,840 --> 00:18:49,080 Speaker 9: constraint if he's. 419 00:18:48,880 --> 00:18:49,520 Speaker 5: Low on time. 420 00:18:49,840 --> 00:18:52,960 Speaker 2: Oh, okay, you just maximize the recovery. Okay, so you're 421 00:18:53,000 --> 00:18:54,960 Speaker 2: not playing tonight. Are you going to have an ear 422 00:18:55,000 --> 00:18:56,280 Speaker 2: piece in headset on? 423 00:18:57,400 --> 00:18:57,800 Speaker 8: I think so. 424 00:18:57,960 --> 00:18:58,960 Speaker 9: I think that would be the plan, just to be 425 00:18:59,000 --> 00:19:01,240 Speaker 9: able to hear the play and you know, talk about 426 00:19:01,240 --> 00:19:03,280 Speaker 9: whatever whatever I need to any input. 427 00:19:05,800 --> 00:19:07,200 Speaker 8: No, probably not, I think. 428 00:19:07,240 --> 00:19:10,720 Speaker 9: More so, you know, when we're playing a game, Greg 429 00:19:10,800 --> 00:19:12,280 Speaker 9: Roman and I will meet and we'll. 430 00:19:12,119 --> 00:19:13,879 Speaker 8: Talk about, you know, the plays that I do like, 431 00:19:14,000 --> 00:19:15,159 Speaker 8: what I what I don't like. 432 00:19:15,240 --> 00:19:17,200 Speaker 9: And I think that's a meeting that happens with the 433 00:19:17,280 --> 00:19:19,600 Speaker 9: quarterbacks the day before, a couple of days before, just 434 00:19:19,640 --> 00:19:20,320 Speaker 9: to talk through. 435 00:19:20,119 --> 00:19:25,400 Speaker 2: It, help me understand the offensive philosophy because statistically they 436 00:19:25,400 --> 00:19:29,040 Speaker 2: weren't great numbers, big numbers, but your quarterback rating was 437 00:19:29,080 --> 00:19:32,240 Speaker 2: I think your highest and Jim loves to run the football. 438 00:19:33,160 --> 00:19:36,719 Speaker 2: So what how would you describe the offense the that 439 00:19:36,760 --> 00:19:38,080 Speaker 2: the Chargers will have this year. 440 00:19:38,760 --> 00:19:41,040 Speaker 9: Yeah, I think for us to be successful, we have 441 00:19:41,080 --> 00:19:42,040 Speaker 9: to be able to do everything. 442 00:19:42,200 --> 00:19:42,359 Speaker 5: You know. 443 00:19:42,520 --> 00:19:44,359 Speaker 9: I think it starts with our run game, you know, 444 00:19:44,400 --> 00:19:46,400 Speaker 9: the offensive line that we've put together and being able 445 00:19:46,440 --> 00:19:48,959 Speaker 9: to run the ball behind those guys. But then at 446 00:19:49,000 --> 00:19:50,959 Speaker 9: the same time, you know, that's what's going to open 447 00:19:51,080 --> 00:19:52,840 Speaker 9: up our play action game. And I think we had 448 00:19:52,880 --> 00:19:55,760 Speaker 9: a really good play action game last year, but something 449 00:19:55,800 --> 00:19:59,359 Speaker 9: continued we can continue to improve on. And then when 450 00:19:59,400 --> 00:20:01,159 Speaker 9: we're running the ball a well, I think we're going 451 00:20:01,200 --> 00:20:03,159 Speaker 9: to pass the ball well too. And and you know, 452 00:20:03,240 --> 00:20:06,280 Speaker 9: being able to scramble extend plays on my feet, you know, 453 00:20:06,320 --> 00:20:08,000 Speaker 9: I think that's something I wasn't really able to do 454 00:20:08,080 --> 00:20:10,160 Speaker 9: much of last year, but it is still a huge 455 00:20:10,160 --> 00:20:11,760 Speaker 9: part of my game and something that we need to 456 00:20:11,800 --> 00:20:12,320 Speaker 9: do this year. 457 00:20:12,600 --> 00:20:14,879 Speaker 2: Yeah, we were talking about this yesterday that I go 458 00:20:15,040 --> 00:20:17,600 Speaker 2: back to I think the Rose Bowl where you had 459 00:20:18,440 --> 00:20:20,960 Speaker 2: your legs were on display. You had you know, great 460 00:20:21,000 --> 00:20:24,920 Speaker 2: performance there. That You're around the same size as Josh Allen, 461 00:20:25,080 --> 00:20:25,439 Speaker 2: aren't you. 462 00:20:26,720 --> 00:20:29,160 Speaker 8: Yeah, I think I think might be a little lighter. 463 00:20:29,160 --> 00:20:30,000 Speaker 8: He's probably a little. 464 00:20:29,800 --> 00:20:33,880 Speaker 2: Bit stronger, But can you run like he runs? Would 465 00:20:34,000 --> 00:20:37,119 Speaker 2: would coach Harball, let you have that kind of weapon. 466 00:20:38,160 --> 00:20:38,360 Speaker 4: Yeah. 467 00:20:38,400 --> 00:20:39,840 Speaker 9: I think one of the things that I really respect 468 00:20:39,880 --> 00:20:42,200 Speaker 9: about his game is how many times they run quarterback 469 00:20:42,240 --> 00:20:44,320 Speaker 9: power and you know he's running between the tackles and 470 00:20:44,359 --> 00:20:46,879 Speaker 9: he's able to take those hits and you know, deliver 471 00:20:46,960 --> 00:20:49,000 Speaker 9: a few of them. And you see how many touchdowns 472 00:20:49,040 --> 00:20:51,399 Speaker 9: he scores in the red zone, and just the way 473 00:20:51,440 --> 00:20:53,480 Speaker 9: he affects the game too. I think that's something that 474 00:20:53,520 --> 00:20:56,200 Speaker 9: we really expect and if we could emulate that and 475 00:20:56,200 --> 00:20:58,000 Speaker 9: and kind of work that into my game, I think 476 00:20:58,040 --> 00:20:59,160 Speaker 9: that'd be really helpful for us. 477 00:20:59,440 --> 00:21:03,560 Speaker 2: He's just an Herbert Chargers quarterback. Sixth season, sixth overall 478 00:21:03,600 --> 00:21:06,359 Speaker 2: pick in the twenty twenty draft by the Chargers. He 479 00:21:06,560 --> 00:21:08,800 Speaker 2: was the Offensive Rookie of the Year, made the Pro 480 00:21:08,880 --> 00:21:10,480 Speaker 2: Bowl in twenty twenty one. 481 00:21:11,359 --> 00:21:11,840 Speaker 5: Give me the. 482 00:21:11,920 --> 00:21:16,360 Speaker 2: Quarterback or quarterbacks? Like, do you sample from quarterbacks and 483 00:21:16,400 --> 00:21:19,240 Speaker 2: say maybe I could use that. I could put that 484 00:21:19,320 --> 00:21:21,400 Speaker 2: into you know, my repertoire. 485 00:21:22,640 --> 00:21:23,359 Speaker 8: Yeah, for sure. 486 00:21:23,440 --> 00:21:26,520 Speaker 9: You know, especially coming out of college, that was one 487 00:21:26,560 --> 00:21:27,920 Speaker 9: of those things where you watch a lot of film 488 00:21:27,960 --> 00:21:30,200 Speaker 9: on the on the NFL guys and at the time 489 00:21:30,359 --> 00:21:33,399 Speaker 9: we were watching Tom Brady, just how you know he 490 00:21:33,400 --> 00:21:36,600 Speaker 9: did everything footwork wise, was you know the best. We 491 00:21:36,680 --> 00:21:38,840 Speaker 9: watched a lot of Matt Ryan with his you know, 492 00:21:38,880 --> 00:21:41,520 Speaker 9: play action fakes. You know, I think that was something 493 00:21:41,560 --> 00:21:43,359 Speaker 9: that we always talked about, how quickly he snapped his 494 00:21:43,359 --> 00:21:46,159 Speaker 9: head around, was able to get his eyes downfield. And 495 00:21:46,160 --> 00:21:48,320 Speaker 9: then Drew Brees his footwork too, and just the way 496 00:21:48,359 --> 00:21:50,920 Speaker 9: he went through his progressions and played the quarterback position. 497 00:21:51,200 --> 00:21:54,119 Speaker 9: I think those three guys were you know, really important 498 00:21:54,160 --> 00:21:54,720 Speaker 9: for me watching. 499 00:21:54,960 --> 00:21:58,880 Speaker 2: Okay, explain footwork with Tom Brady, What exactly is that 500 00:21:59,280 --> 00:22:00,560 Speaker 2: and is it teachable? 501 00:22:01,880 --> 00:22:02,440 Speaker 5: Yeah? 502 00:22:02,480 --> 00:22:04,520 Speaker 9: I think, uh, you know, the easiest way to describe 503 00:22:04,560 --> 00:22:07,199 Speaker 9: it would be just to time everything up with the route. 504 00:22:07,320 --> 00:22:09,640 Speaker 9: You know, a short route is going to have quicker footwork, 505 00:22:09,960 --> 00:22:11,840 Speaker 9: and you know a longer route play. 506 00:22:11,640 --> 00:22:13,159 Speaker 8: Action is is going to time it up. 507 00:22:13,160 --> 00:22:15,159 Speaker 9: And one of the things that I always try to 508 00:22:15,200 --> 00:22:17,719 Speaker 9: avoid is is standing still in the pocket and just 509 00:22:17,840 --> 00:22:19,800 Speaker 9: you know, bouncing around because you have a tough time 510 00:22:19,840 --> 00:22:21,880 Speaker 9: seeing when you're you know, you're going up and down, 511 00:22:21,920 --> 00:22:25,600 Speaker 9: and you know, as long as you're in rhythm and 512 00:22:25,960 --> 00:22:28,680 Speaker 9: your your feet are aligned with how deep the receiver 513 00:22:28,800 --> 00:22:30,720 Speaker 9: is going to get you know, I think it makes 514 00:22:30,720 --> 00:22:32,879 Speaker 9: it easier on the throw and definitely easier, you know, 515 00:22:32,920 --> 00:22:34,160 Speaker 9: stepping up in the pocket as well. 516 00:22:34,320 --> 00:22:36,720 Speaker 2: Okay, but what's that clock like in your head when 517 00:22:36,720 --> 00:22:39,960 Speaker 2: you go back to pass. At what point do you go, 518 00:22:40,840 --> 00:22:43,960 Speaker 2: uh oh, Like, I now, I got to start. I 519 00:22:43,960 --> 00:22:45,280 Speaker 2: got to have my head on a swivel. 520 00:22:46,040 --> 00:22:47,639 Speaker 8: Yep. As soon as you get to the top of 521 00:22:47,640 --> 00:22:50,440 Speaker 8: your drop where you're where you're dropping back, and you. 522 00:22:50,359 --> 00:22:52,320 Speaker 9: Know, it's it's either a quick setup where you're hoping 523 00:22:52,320 --> 00:22:54,280 Speaker 9: the ends go around you and the tackle is push 524 00:22:54,280 --> 00:22:57,200 Speaker 9: them up field, or you're finding a lane to run through. 525 00:22:58,240 --> 00:23:01,000 Speaker 9: But it's it's quick, and you know that's just how 526 00:23:01,440 --> 00:23:03,640 Speaker 9: how fast those guys are on defense. And you gotta 527 00:23:03,640 --> 00:23:05,600 Speaker 9: protect the ball, you gotta avoid sacks, and you know 528 00:23:05,680 --> 00:23:06,359 Speaker 9: that's something that you. 529 00:23:06,359 --> 00:23:08,400 Speaker 8: Know, coach Harpaugh talks about all the time. So we're 530 00:23:08,400 --> 00:23:09,480 Speaker 8: gonna get better at that this year. 531 00:23:09,640 --> 00:23:11,600 Speaker 2: What was your welcome to the NFL hit? 532 00:23:15,200 --> 00:23:18,880 Speaker 9: I would say I was rolling out one year, tried 533 00:23:18,920 --> 00:23:20,879 Speaker 9: to make this play where I could spin in the 534 00:23:20,920 --> 00:23:23,320 Speaker 9: pocket and just kind of run around, and then I 535 00:23:23,359 --> 00:23:25,880 Speaker 9: got hit by Max Crogby and I didn't even see him. 536 00:23:26,560 --> 00:23:29,200 Speaker 9: And that was when I was like, yeah, these these 537 00:23:29,200 --> 00:23:31,040 Speaker 9: guys are much faster than I am. I got to 538 00:23:31,040 --> 00:23:33,920 Speaker 9: be able to step up throw it away. Taking the 539 00:23:33,960 --> 00:23:36,080 Speaker 9: sack is not the worst thing, but you know, running 540 00:23:36,119 --> 00:23:36,880 Speaker 9: into that thing that. 541 00:23:36,880 --> 00:23:41,000 Speaker 2: Was well, and you know, Peyton Manning and Tom Brady, 542 00:23:41,040 --> 00:23:43,919 Speaker 2: two of the greatest ever, had no problem just kind 543 00:23:43,960 --> 00:23:47,080 Speaker 2: of going into the fetal position instead of you know, 544 00:23:47,119 --> 00:23:51,280 Speaker 2: you left to live to call another play. And that's 545 00:23:51,320 --> 00:23:53,399 Speaker 2: hard for you because in college and high school you 546 00:23:53,440 --> 00:23:55,919 Speaker 2: could get away with this stuff. In the NFL you can't. 547 00:23:56,240 --> 00:23:58,880 Speaker 2: How tough is that to go just take a sack 548 00:23:59,000 --> 00:23:59,960 Speaker 2: or just throw it away. 549 00:24:00,920 --> 00:24:03,400 Speaker 9: Yeah, that's uh, that's the tough part because, like you said, 550 00:24:03,480 --> 00:24:05,080 Speaker 9: high school and college, you'd be able to make some 551 00:24:05,119 --> 00:24:07,080 Speaker 9: of those plays and you know, you'd get reward for 552 00:24:07,200 --> 00:24:08,760 Speaker 9: for making a crazy play like that. And then you 553 00:24:08,800 --> 00:24:11,280 Speaker 9: come to the NFL and you know everyone on defenses 554 00:24:11,400 --> 00:24:15,520 Speaker 9: is faster than you, and uh, you know, sometimes it's 555 00:24:15,520 --> 00:24:17,800 Speaker 9: okay to you know, wave the white flag, go down 556 00:24:17,800 --> 00:24:20,520 Speaker 9: and live for another play where you know, a sack 557 00:24:20,680 --> 00:24:23,679 Speaker 9: is is not as bad as a fumble and a 558 00:24:23,800 --> 00:24:26,119 Speaker 9: throwaway is not as bad. So it's just kind of 559 00:24:26,119 --> 00:24:27,920 Speaker 9: living through that list and making sure that you're you're 560 00:24:27,920 --> 00:24:29,000 Speaker 9: protecting the ball and putting the. 561 00:24:28,960 --> 00:24:30,280 Speaker 8: Team in a good position to win. 562 00:24:30,440 --> 00:24:31,320 Speaker 2: Who's your rival? 563 00:24:33,600 --> 00:24:35,800 Speaker 8: Shoot, I would say We've We've got a lot of rivals. 564 00:24:35,800 --> 00:24:38,800 Speaker 9: I definitely would say the Chiefs, Raiders and the Broncuse 565 00:24:38,800 --> 00:24:40,879 Speaker 9: I think the AFC West is is so competitive, and 566 00:24:41,280 --> 00:24:45,600 Speaker 9: you know, we've we've definitely, you know, had our fair 567 00:24:45,640 --> 00:24:48,439 Speaker 9: share of competitions with those guys. Chiefs have gotten us 568 00:24:48,440 --> 00:24:49,160 Speaker 9: the past few years. 569 00:24:49,240 --> 00:24:51,879 Speaker 2: But do you hate the like do you do you 570 00:24:51,920 --> 00:24:54,600 Speaker 2: hate one of them a little more than the other ones? 571 00:24:56,160 --> 00:24:58,320 Speaker 9: I would just say that the it's been a little 572 00:24:58,359 --> 00:25:00,040 Speaker 9: offside of the past couple of years, and that's just 573 00:25:00,080 --> 00:25:02,480 Speaker 9: something that we you know, we've got a great opportunity 574 00:25:02,480 --> 00:25:04,639 Speaker 9: to play them twice this year, and you know, we 575 00:25:04,720 --> 00:25:07,000 Speaker 9: know how good they are and how much success they've 576 00:25:07,000 --> 00:25:09,720 Speaker 9: had in the league over the past several years. So 577 00:25:09,760 --> 00:25:11,760 Speaker 9: it's always a good opportunity for us to go play 578 00:25:11,760 --> 00:25:12,960 Speaker 9: and be the team that we want to be. 579 00:25:13,760 --> 00:25:17,040 Speaker 2: What advice would you give a rookie quarterback. Let's say 580 00:25:17,040 --> 00:25:20,239 Speaker 2: cam Ward calls you up and said, give me some 581 00:25:20,280 --> 00:25:21,760 Speaker 2: advice on what it's like. 582 00:25:23,160 --> 00:25:26,639 Speaker 9: Yeah, I would say to sacrifice now so you can 583 00:25:26,720 --> 00:25:29,840 Speaker 9: enjoy everything later. Just to go through everything and you know, 584 00:25:29,920 --> 00:25:32,080 Speaker 9: watch an extra hour of film, you know, do an 585 00:25:32,080 --> 00:25:34,040 Speaker 9: extra hour of recovery, make sure you're taking care of 586 00:25:34,119 --> 00:25:35,879 Speaker 9: your body.

If the Warriors aren't in it, 862 00:38:29,600 --> 00:38:32,480 Speaker 11: I'm always going for a winner. But yeah, I mean, 863 00:38:32,640 --> 00:38:35,879 Speaker 11: I'm just a huge Raiders fan, and I don't think 864 00:38:35,880 --> 00:38:37,000 Speaker 11: that'll ever ever lead me. 865 00:38:37,160 --> 00:38:39,080 Speaker 2: Okay, what do you think is gonna happen this year? 866 00:38:40,320 --> 00:38:43,840 Speaker 11: Hopefully, if, if, if, if we can stay healthy, I 867 00:38:43,880 --> 00:38:46,640 Speaker 11: mean the defense is really good. You know, I love 868 00:38:46,680 --> 00:38:49,480 Speaker 11: Brock Bauers. I would love to see what Gino Smith 869 00:38:49,560 --> 00:38:52,080 Speaker 11: is gonna do for us. But I think if we 870 00:38:52,080 --> 00:38:54,200 Speaker 11: can stay healthy, we'll be okay. I mean, obviously we're 871 00:38:54,239 --> 00:38:58,160 Speaker 11: in in that division with with Mahomes and you know 872 00:38:58,320 --> 00:39:02,040 Speaker 11: the Chiefs, and I think Justin Herbert is great. I 873 00:39:02,080 --> 00:39:05,040 Speaker 11: even think both Nicks and the Broncos are going to 874 00:39:05,080 --> 00:39:07,799 Speaker 11: be good. So it's gonna be a tough division. But 875 00:39:08,000 --> 00:39:09,120 Speaker 11: we'll see what happens. 876 00:39:09,520 --> 00:39:12,120 Speaker 2: If you could have Gino Smith as your quarterback or 877 00:39:12,120 --> 00:39:13,840 Speaker 2: Tom Brady comes out of retirement. 878 00:39:15,880 --> 00:39:18,400 Speaker 11: Oh, I would want Tom Brady to come out of 879 00:39:18,400 --> 00:39:23,959 Speaker 11: retirement to run the organization. I need somebody young, young, 880 00:39:24,080 --> 00:39:25,920 Speaker 11: with fresh legs. I mean, I'm fine with, you know, 881 00:39:25,960 --> 00:39:28,080 Speaker 11: being quarterback as long as he can stay healthy.

Yeah, well, 943 00:42:14,440 --> 00:42:15,880 Speaker 12: I think you know, it was the year that the 944 00:42:15,920 --> 00:42:18,640 Speaker 12: forty nine Ers had the injuries at quarterback, you know, 945 00:42:18,920 --> 00:42:22,399 Speaker 12: and uh before early on, before perty really got going, 946 00:42:22,760 --> 00:42:24,520 Speaker 12: you know, it was, uh, there's still probably six weeks 947 00:42:24,560 --> 00:42:26,480 Speaker 12: left in the year and it was Uh, so there 948 00:42:26,520 --> 00:42:29,400 Speaker 12: was a little interaction I've had there with with John Lynch. 949 00:42:29,840 --> 00:42:32,520 Speaker 12: Uh certainly kept in contact with the Colts that first 950 00:42:32,600 --> 00:42:35,400 Speaker 12: year year or so out. Uh, when the Saints had 951 00:42:35,440 --> 00:42:38,040 Speaker 12: the injuries, Uh, you know, I think they called Drew 952 00:42:38,080 --> 00:42:40,120 Speaker 12: and I both. I remember being on a phone call 953 00:42:40,160 --> 00:42:43,120 Speaker 12: with Drew and it was over Christmas, and uh, it 954 00:42:43,200 --> 00:42:44,920 Speaker 12: was like the first Christmas I've been all, you know, 955 00:42:45,000 --> 00:42:48,200 Speaker 12: been off and not playing and uh, and I was like, 956 00:42:48,239 --> 00:42:50,520 Speaker 12: I can't believe I'm being considering this, but uh, Drew 957 00:42:50,560 --> 00:42:52,400 Speaker 12: and I ended up talking about, Hey, were you serious, 958 00:42:52,960 --> 00:42:54,640 Speaker 12: and he was asking me if I was serious, and 959 00:42:54,680 --> 00:42:56,920 Speaker 12: I was like, it sounds good, you know, it sounds 960 00:42:56,960 --> 00:42:59,280 Speaker 12: good in theory, but then it's like, man, I felt 961 00:42:59,320 --> 00:43:01,279 Speaker 12: like the later the season went, I was going to 962 00:43:01,360 --> 00:43:05,120 Speaker 12: become a guest quarterback, and to me, that just was 963 00:43:05,160 --> 00:43:09,279 Speaker 12: what ultimately, ultimately the teams didn't want me to. It 964 00:43:09,360 --> 00:43:12,120 Speaker 12: didn't get that far to where it was in my control. 965 00:43:12,440 --> 00:43:14,440 Speaker 12: But I didn't want to be a guest quarterback, you know, 966 00:43:14,719 --> 00:43:16,960 Speaker 12: you wanted to at least have some camaraderie and some 967 00:43:17,360 --> 00:43:19,200 Speaker 12: sense of man, I've been in this on. 968 00:43:19,120 --> 00:43:21,320 Speaker 10: This journey with you guys, at least for half a season. 969 00:43:21,520 --> 00:43:23,160 Speaker 12: But when he got to the playoffs, it's like, man, 970 00:43:23,160 --> 00:43:25,759 Speaker 12: you're gonna go and play one game and you're either 971 00:43:25,800 --> 00:43:29,239 Speaker 12: the hero to help him win or you came in 972 00:43:29,320 --> 00:43:31,399 Speaker 12: and cost him a playoff game. So it just didn't 973 00:43:31,400 --> 00:43:32,160 Speaker 12: make a whole lot of sense. 974 00:43:32,520 --> 00:43:33,920 Speaker 2: Yeah, you could have been a Joe Flacco. 975 00:43:36,080 --> 00:43:39,080 Speaker 10: Yeah yeah, which, shoot, I thought it was awesome. I was. 976 00:43:39,120 --> 00:43:41,640 Speaker 12: I loved watching Joe and pull up for Joe when 977 00:43:41,640 --> 00:43:42,920 Speaker 12: he was in that situation. 978 00:43:43,000 --> 00:43:45,600 Speaker 2: But take me back to when you came out of college. 979 00:43:45,640 --> 00:43:49,120 Speaker 2: I remember the knock on you was your arm, your 980 00:43:49,280 --> 00:43:52,600 Speaker 2: arm angle or how you like how you threw like 981 00:43:52,640 --> 00:43:55,359 Speaker 2: it felt like that was one of those you just 982 00:43:55,400 --> 00:43:58,920 Speaker 2: didn't throw it the way quarterbacks the other quarterbacks through 983 00:43:58,960 --> 00:43:59,279 Speaker 2: the ball. 984 00:43:59,480 --> 00:43:59,640 Speaker 11: That. 985 00:44:01,040 --> 00:44:02,440 Speaker 10: Yeah, yeah, no it is. 986 00:44:02,640 --> 00:44:05,920 Speaker 12: I think he gradually got less and less awkward, you know, 987 00:44:06,040 --> 00:44:08,400 Speaker 12: as uh, even as my career went. There is a 988 00:44:08,480 --> 00:44:11,719 Speaker 12: uniqueness to it, and I shoot, I appreciate that now, 989 00:44:11,960 --> 00:44:14,200 Speaker 12: you know. I hear you hear people say, oh, man, 990 00:44:14,239 --> 00:44:16,879 Speaker 12: that's how Philip Rivers threw the ball, So I guess 991 00:44:18,200 --> 00:44:21,000 Speaker 12: uniqueness to it. That's uh ended up being kind of 992 00:44:21,120 --> 00:44:23,719 Speaker 12: one of my trademarks. But growing up as the son 993 00:44:23,760 --> 00:44:25,839 Speaker 12: of a coach. I was the ball boy and water 994 00:44:25,920 --> 00:44:28,160 Speaker 12: boy when my dad was coaching high school ball. Five six, 995 00:44:28,239 --> 00:44:31,400 Speaker 12: seven years old, and I was throwing a regulations size football. 996 00:44:31,840 --> 00:44:33,759 Speaker 12: So that's the only way I could throw it, you know, 997 00:44:33,800 --> 00:44:35,480 Speaker 12: you kind of laid it in your hand and and 998 00:44:35,640 --> 00:44:38,520 Speaker 12: uh and and pushed it. And so then as I 999 00:44:38,560 --> 00:44:40,120 Speaker 12: grew up, you know, as I got bigger and stronger 1000 00:44:40,160 --> 00:44:42,240 Speaker 12: in my hand could reach, there was still an element 1001 00:44:42,280 --> 00:44:45,560 Speaker 12: of that, you know, muscle memory motion that just became 1002 00:44:45,560 --> 00:44:45,919 Speaker 12: my own. 1003 00:44:46,880 --> 00:44:48,279 Speaker 10: And and so that's where it was. 1004 00:44:48,320 --> 00:44:50,080 Speaker 12: I remember Norm Chow, you know, we had we had 1005 00:44:50,400 --> 00:44:53,040 Speaker 12: one of the great offensive coaches of all time in 1006 00:44:53,080 --> 00:44:56,680 Speaker 12: college football at NC State my freshman year. And the 1007 00:44:56,719 --> 00:44:59,360 Speaker 12: first day he watched me practice, he he asked me 1008 00:44:59,440 --> 00:45:00,919 Speaker 12: if I was hurt your. 1009 00:45:00,840 --> 00:45:04,799 Speaker 10: Shoulder is your shoulder? Is your shoulder bothering you? And 1010 00:45:04,840 --> 00:45:07,640 Speaker 10: I said, no, my shoulders fine, and uh. 1011 00:45:07,840 --> 00:45:10,160 Speaker 12: He set the tape off to Mike Homern and said, 1012 00:45:10,160 --> 00:45:11,640 Speaker 12: now you need to take a look at this, and 1013 00:45:11,640 --> 00:45:13,959 Speaker 12: and and and Coach Chow ended up telling me Homer 1014 00:45:14,040 --> 00:45:16,000 Speaker 12: and said, if he's not getting balls, bout it down. 1015 00:45:16,040 --> 00:45:18,320 Speaker 10: And he's accurate, he said, heck with it. Leave it alone. 1016 00:45:18,360 --> 00:45:19,120 Speaker 10: And so we did. 1017 00:45:19,640 --> 00:45:25,759 Speaker 2: You did. How is the position changed? Like, what's the 1018 00:45:25,760 --> 00:45:27,960 Speaker 2: most important part of playing the position? 1019 00:45:29,480 --> 00:45:32,879 Speaker 12: I still think and I am I'm biased, I guess 1020 00:45:32,920 --> 00:45:35,080 Speaker 12: a little bit. I best say if you asked most 1021 00:45:35,080 --> 00:45:37,560 Speaker 12: pocket passers like myself, they may say this may not. 1022 00:45:38,239 --> 00:45:39,920 Speaker 12: I still think you got to be able to stand 1023 00:45:39,920 --> 00:45:43,440 Speaker 12: in the pocket and make quick decisions, and be accurate 1024 00:45:43,480 --> 00:45:46,000 Speaker 12: with the football and and and and throw it from 1025 00:45:46,040 --> 00:45:48,680 Speaker 12: the pocket on third and eight and crucial situations on 1026 00:45:49,120 --> 00:45:52,000 Speaker 12: a two minute drive, all those things that that is 1027 00:45:52,040 --> 00:45:54,040 Speaker 12: still going to be a necessity of playing the position. 1028 00:45:54,400 --> 00:45:56,880 Speaker 12: To me, I think it's a bonus. It's a bonus 1029 00:45:56,880 --> 00:45:58,600 Speaker 12: if you can do the other stuff like many of 1030 00:45:58,680 --> 00:46:02,360 Speaker 12: these guys nowadays, you know, the Josh Allens and Lamar 1031 00:46:02,440 --> 00:46:05,840 Speaker 12: Jackson's and Bo Nicks has the ability to run, you know, 1032 00:46:06,000 --> 00:46:09,360 Speaker 12: as you know, had an unbelievable rookie year. Obviously Mahomes 1033 00:46:09,360 --> 00:46:11,319 Speaker 12: and I'm leaving guys out unintentionally. 1034 00:46:11,320 --> 00:46:13,920 Speaker 10: But if you can't do those things, it helps you. 1035 00:46:14,440 --> 00:46:16,000 Speaker 12: But you still got to be able to stand in 1036 00:46:16,040 --> 00:46:18,120 Speaker 12: there and they could throw and take a hit right 1037 00:46:18,200 --> 00:46:20,680 Speaker 12: under the chin. Because if you can't do that, if 1038 00:46:20,719 --> 00:46:22,239 Speaker 12: all you can do is just kind of run around 1039 00:46:22,239 --> 00:46:23,520 Speaker 12: and you're a fifty percent passer. 1040 00:46:23,800 --> 00:46:25,000 Speaker 10: I don't think you can last. 1041 00:46:25,320 --> 00:46:30,040 Speaker 2: He's Philip Rivers, NFL quarterback for seventeen seasons. Fan base 1042 00:46:30,360 --> 00:46:34,319 Speaker 2: that probably disliked you the most was which fan base? 1043 00:46:35,200 --> 00:46:35,319 Speaker 3: Uh? 1044 00:46:35,440 --> 00:46:36,800 Speaker 10: Probably the Denver. 1045 00:46:37,200 --> 00:46:40,279 Speaker 2: Okay, let me can I bring in Fritzie is a 1046 00:46:40,280 --> 00:46:45,160 Speaker 2: Denver Bronco fan and all my guests, so Fritzie would 1047 00:46:45,200 --> 00:46:48,640 Speaker 2: always complain that you complained too much, that you wind 1048 00:46:49,000 --> 00:46:51,440 Speaker 2: too much when you play. This is coming from a 1049 00:46:51,440 --> 00:46:54,560 Speaker 2: Bronco fin Would you say that's fair assessment of you? 1050 00:46:54,560 --> 00:46:56,920 Speaker 2: You were critical Philip Rivers winding? Yes, and I hope 1051 00:46:56,920 --> 00:46:59,000 Speaker 2: Philip agrees and I got hip against the guy. 1052 00:46:59,040 --> 00:47:01,399 Speaker 3: But they a huge Bronc Then, since I'm like seven 1053 00:47:01,480 --> 00:47:03,080 Speaker 3: years old, I did see like there was a lot 1054 00:47:03,080 --> 00:47:05,120 Speaker 3: of complaining to the officials, a lot of trash talking. 1055 00:47:05,239 --> 00:47:08,200 Speaker 2: Even though he didn't Curtsey. He was always kind, I 1056 00:47:08,200 --> 00:47:09,960 Speaker 2: guess with his trash talk, but that seemed like a 1057 00:47:10,000 --> 00:47:11,040 Speaker 2: lot of whining was going on. 1058 00:47:11,080 --> 00:47:13,960 Speaker 12: Okay, Phil, Yeah, I can see it. I can see 1059 00:47:13,960 --> 00:47:16,400 Speaker 12: it coming across as as whiny. It was more a 1060 00:47:16,560 --> 00:47:19,560 Speaker 12: fire and passion and drive to want to win the 1061 00:47:19,600 --> 00:47:23,040 Speaker 12: stinking game and for the calls to be right and 1062 00:47:23,080 --> 00:47:26,400 Speaker 12: for the you know, all those things to go. So, yes, 1063 00:47:27,480 --> 00:47:30,120 Speaker 12: it would it be classified as whining in some cases. 1064 00:47:30,200 --> 00:47:30,640 Speaker 10: I'm sure. 1065 00:47:30,680 --> 00:47:33,320 Speaker 12: I'm sure it would. I'm not proud of every every moment, 1066 00:47:33,480 --> 00:47:35,840 Speaker 12: believe me.

He's a junior and he's gonna 1112 00:49:16,400 --> 00:49:18,160 Speaker 12: have a chance. He's gonna have a chance to play 1113 00:49:18,719 --> 00:49:21,000 Speaker 12: at the next level, which is exciting. I was gonna 1114 00:49:21,040 --> 00:49:24,680 Speaker 12: say two, back to the throwing motion thing. I threw 1115 00:49:24,719 --> 00:49:26,759 Speaker 12: that way because I think I had a ball, you know, 1116 00:49:26,800 --> 00:49:28,080 Speaker 12: a big ball when I was little. 1117 00:49:28,239 --> 00:49:29,799 Speaker 10: He throws that way a little bit. 1118 00:49:29,920 --> 00:49:31,360 Speaker 12: I don't know if it's just from watching me or 1119 00:49:31,360 --> 00:49:33,760 Speaker 12: if it's just in our DNA, but he's a little 1120 00:49:33,760 --> 00:49:36,120 Speaker 12: more over the top. But when people watch him throw, 1121 00:49:36,160 --> 00:49:38,600 Speaker 12: they go, man, he throws it like you, and I go, well, 1122 00:49:38,920 --> 00:49:41,239 Speaker 12: he did watch me play for his whole life growing up. 1123 00:49:41,360 --> 00:49:44,000 Speaker 2: Why didn't you teach him how to throw like Brady? 1124 00:49:44,880 --> 00:49:46,759 Speaker 10: Brady's a little too over the top, you know, it's 1125 00:49:46,760 --> 00:49:47,560 Speaker 10: a little too over the top. 1126 00:49:47,600 --> 00:49:48,680 Speaker 2: What about Aaron Rodgers? 1127 00:49:49,920 --> 00:49:51,960 Speaker 12: I like Aaron Rodgers' motion and he flicks it. He 1128 00:49:51,960 --> 00:49:54,560 Speaker 12: can throw it every different way. My homes kind of 1129 00:49:54,560 --> 00:49:57,120 Speaker 12: can throw at every different arm angle. I was kidding 1130 00:49:57,160 --> 00:50:00,560 Speaker 12: about Brady being drove over the top, but I think 1131 00:50:00,560 --> 00:50:02,719 Speaker 12: the different arm angles is huge. It's key, you know, 1132 00:50:02,960 --> 00:50:04,480 Speaker 12: it's key to be able to do that because you're 1133 00:50:04,520 --> 00:50:07,279 Speaker 12: throwing it people think, you know, to me, the height 1134 00:50:07,400 --> 00:50:08,960 Speaker 12: thing is not as big of a deal, you know. 1135 00:50:09,120 --> 00:50:10,719 Speaker 12: Drew Brees, one of the best ever six you know, 1136 00:50:10,760 --> 00:50:13,960 Speaker 12: six foot or so. But is It's not as much 1137 00:50:14,000 --> 00:50:16,000 Speaker 12: a height deal. It's ability to throw arm angles. None 1138 00:50:16,000 --> 00:50:19,160 Speaker 12: of us are throwing over sixty six linemen, you know, 1139 00:50:19,200 --> 00:50:20,359 Speaker 12: none of us are. So you got to be able 1140 00:50:20,360 --> 00:50:23,640 Speaker 12: to throw around and change uh different arm angles as 1141 00:50:23,680 --> 00:50:27,000 Speaker 12: the pocket you know collapses on here changes uh. 1142 00:50:27,200 --> 00:50:30,759 Speaker 2: Philip is the head coach at Saint Michael Catholic High 1143 00:50:30,760 --> 00:50:34,360 Speaker 2: School in Fair Hope, Alabama.

Obviously Derwin 1148 00:50:48,800 --> 00:50:50,520 Speaker 12: James still kind of the captain over there on that 1149 00:50:50,600 --> 00:50:53,960 Speaker 12: defensive side, and Justin Herbert is, you know, a heck 1150 00:50:54,040 --> 00:50:57,239 Speaker 12: of a player, a heck of a player. They they nailed, 1151 00:50:57,320 --> 00:50:59,520 Speaker 12: they nailed that pick. It was the the timing of 1152 00:50:59,600 --> 00:51:01,120 Speaker 12: me to move on and then to get one.

So you find. 1161 00:51:22,160 --> 00:51:25,200 Speaker 12: Yourself pulling for either coaches you were with or teammates 1162 00:51:25,239 --> 00:51:27,839 Speaker 12: you know that are either at the at the at 1163 00:51:27,880 --> 00:51:29,960 Speaker 12: the team you were on, or either there's somewhere else 1164 00:51:29,960 --> 00:51:32,000 Speaker 12: you know, you pull for them on Sundays and we 1165 00:51:32,080 --> 00:51:34,920 Speaker 12: still watch.

I know, y'all got 1170 00:51:46,440 --> 00:51:48,640 Speaker 12: the stats and there, fritzee, what is eleven yards? 1171 00:51:48,680 --> 00:51:50,440 Speaker 2: You know it's eighteen. 1172 00:51:50,520 --> 00:51:52,959 Speaker 10: Eighteen eighteen yard run. 1173 00:51:53,080 --> 00:51:56,640 Speaker 12: My favorite run was against the Ravens in the playoff 1174 00:51:56,680 --> 00:51:59,239 Speaker 12: Divisional round playoff game. A third down and I kind 1175 00:51:59,239 --> 00:52:02,040 Speaker 12: of out out of there and UH got a big 1176 00:52:02,080 --> 00:52:04,960 Speaker 12: first down and UH was able to kind of do 1177 00:52:05,000 --> 00:52:06,799 Speaker 12: the first down sign. You know that you see all 1178 00:52:06,840 --> 00:52:09,120 Speaker 12: the watouts and backs get to do. I felt I 1179 00:52:09,120 --> 00:52:11,319 Speaker 12: felt like a really I felt like a real athlete. 1180 00:52:11,719 --> 00:52:14,520 Speaker 12: I felt like a real athlete. My teammates Ken Allen. 1181 00:52:14,680 --> 00:52:16,319 Speaker 12: He was miked up on that play and you can 1182 00:52:16,360 --> 00:52:17,839 Speaker 12: hear him saying. 1183 00:52:17,560 --> 00:52:18,359 Speaker 10: Do it, do it? 1184 00:52:18,400 --> 00:52:18,680 Speaker 11: Do it. 1185 00:52:18,960 --> 00:52:21,120 Speaker 12: He was like he was like proud of me, Like 1186 00:52:21,200 --> 00:52:24,000 Speaker 12: I was actually gonna do a little something. 1187 00:52:23,800 --> 00:52:26,000 Speaker 2: Like a parent watching their kid take their first step. 1188 00:52:26,320 --> 00:52:26,400 Speaker 5: Ye. 1189 00:52:26,480 --> 00:52:30,040 Speaker 2: Yeah, But was there somebody slower than you in the 1190 00:52:30,160 --> 00:52:31,200 Speaker 2: NFL at quarterback? 1191 00:52:33,520 --> 00:52:36,000 Speaker 10: I believe I could outrun Peyton and Brady. 1192 00:52:36,640 --> 00:52:40,160 Speaker 2: Okay, yeah, but that still makes you slow though it. 1193 00:52:40,120 --> 00:52:45,960 Speaker 12: Does it definitely definitely wasn't fast Roethlisberger. Ben could run 1194 00:52:46,000 --> 00:52:48,440 Speaker 12: a little better than me, maybe as we got you know, 1195 00:52:48,480 --> 00:52:51,080 Speaker 12: as he got later in his career, maybe, but no, 1196 00:52:51,320 --> 00:52:52,000 Speaker 12: Ben could run. 1197 00:52:52,480 --> 00:52:52,879 Speaker 10: See Ben. 1198 00:52:53,040 --> 00:52:55,600 Speaker 12: Ben was one of those, uh you know, the throwback 1199 00:52:55,680 --> 00:52:58,279 Speaker 12: quarterbacks that could run, you know, and he wasn't gonna 1200 00:52:58,320 --> 00:53:00,360 Speaker 12: run for seventy but he had a he had an 1201 00:53:00,400 --> 00:53:02,680 Speaker 12: ability to es capability in the pocket that was that 1202 00:53:02,800 --> 00:53:05,839 Speaker 12: was unique. I think that certainly helped his game and 1203 00:53:05,960 --> 00:53:07,120 Speaker 12: why you had a lot of success. 1204 00:53:07,920 --> 00:53:14,800 Speaker 2: If Michael Vick and you ran a forty yard dash. 1205 00:53:12,640 --> 00:53:14,600 Speaker 12: That may be one of the fastest men I've ever 1206 00:53:14,640 --> 00:53:17,320 Speaker 12: seen on a football field. We were at the Falcons 1207 00:53:17,360 --> 00:53:20,640 Speaker 12: in two thousand and five. I believe it was four 1208 00:53:20,719 --> 00:53:23,239 Speaker 12: or five. I wasn't playing. Drew was the starter. I 1209 00:53:23,280 --> 00:53:26,799 Speaker 12: was backing up, and he scrambled left down our sideline 1210 00:53:26,840 --> 00:53:30,000 Speaker 12: and scored and scored with it and ran through the tunnel, 1211 00:53:30,320 --> 00:53:33,760 Speaker 12: and I just remember going, that's that's just not fair. 1212 00:53:34,360 --> 00:53:36,920 Speaker 10: That's not fair that he can run like that and thrown. 1213 00:53:37,320 --> 00:53:40,400 Speaker 2: Yeah, let me know. If you retire again, we'll have 1214 00:53:40,520 --> 00:53:42,960 Speaker 2: you back on. But if not, good luck with the 1215 00:53:43,239 --> 00:53:44,560 Speaker 2: upcoming high school season. 1216 00:53:45,520 --> 00:53:47,759 Speaker 12: I appreciate it, Dan, And hey, hey, Fritz, you said 1217 00:53:47,800 --> 00:53:50,200 Speaker 12: I probably did complain and whine, But what made you 1218 00:53:50,239 --> 00:53:51,880 Speaker 12: so mad as we were beating their tail a lot 1219 00:53:51,920 --> 00:53:52,239 Speaker 12: of times? 1220 00:53:52,400 --> 00:53:54,160 Speaker 3: That's man, that's part of the reason why I was 1221 00:53:54,239 --> 00:53:54,759 Speaker 3: upset with you. 1222 00:53:55,239 --> 00:53:56,720 Speaker 2: Beat the Broncos too much. 1223 00:53:57,400 --> 00:53:58,520 Speaker 10: Very much dog right there? 1224 00:53:58,760 --> 00:54:04,880 Speaker 2: Yeah, Todd, that's smap, Tom, very impressive.
