Pretty soon you're 25 00:01:01,880 --> 00:01:05,200 Speaker 2: going to see him in a Falcons helmet practicing on 26 00:01:05,240 --> 00:01:05,720 Speaker 2: the field. 27 00:01:05,760 --> 00:01:09,720 Speaker 1: There in Flowery Branch for now here, he is addressing 28 00:01:09,800 --> 00:01:12,480 Speaker 1: the media talking about how excited he is to not 29 00:01:12,600 --> 00:01:14,800 Speaker 1: just compete with Michael Pennix, but work with him. 30 00:01:15,800 --> 00:01:19,240 Speaker 3: You either love competition. You're either competitor or you're not it. 31 00:01:19,720 --> 00:01:23,119 Speaker 3: You just don't go from being a competitor to let 32 00:01:23,160 --> 00:01:26,119 Speaker 3: me just relax a little bit. I just don't think 33 00:01:26,200 --> 00:01:29,160 Speaker 3: that how it works. You're either competitor or you're not. 34 00:01:29,319 --> 00:01:32,520 Speaker 3: And so I embraced the competition. I'm excited to work 35 00:01:32,560 --> 00:01:36,120 Speaker 3: alongside with Mike, and I'm excited to work, you know, 36 00:01:36,840 --> 00:01:38,120 Speaker 3: with the team, with the guys. 37 00:01:38,760 --> 00:01:40,520 Speaker 4: I think it's going to be fun this year. 38 00:01:41,600 --> 00:01:43,440 Speaker 1: To a hanging out in a balcony there look like 39 00:01:43,480 --> 00:01:45,479 Speaker 1: maybe on vacation. I think I saw like a bag 40 00:01:45,520 --> 00:01:48,720 Speaker 1: of toys or something happening there. Ian starting with you 41 00:01:48,720 --> 00:01:50,960 Speaker 1: your thoughts on tour joining the Falcons at the low 42 00:01:51,120 --> 00:01:54,600 Speaker 1: low price of the veteran minimum. 43 00:01:54,160 --> 00:01:54,960 Speaker 5: Yeah, no doubt. 44 00:01:54,960 --> 00:01:56,600 Speaker 6: This is not going to be one that's decided by 45 00:01:56,640 --> 00:01:58,680 Speaker 6: the price of the contract. This is going to be 46 00:01:58,720 --> 00:02:02,400 Speaker 6: decided on the field. Does seem seem as of right now, 47 00:02:02,400 --> 00:02:04,320 Speaker 6: it's going to be a real quarterback competition. 48 00:02:04,360 --> 00:02:06,000 Speaker 5: He really had to wonder for. 49 00:02:06,040 --> 00:02:07,960 Speaker 6: Michael Pennicks Junior and for TWA to talk about, I 50 00:02:07,960 --> 00:02:09,640 Speaker 6: low if this was last year, if this was the 51 00:02:09,680 --> 00:02:12,680 Speaker 6: regime that had drafted Pennix, would it be a competition? 52 00:02:12,800 --> 00:02:13,840 Speaker 7: Would two will be able. 53 00:02:13,639 --> 00:02:15,679 Speaker 6: To have to come in and just kind of lend 54 00:02:15,800 --> 00:02:18,520 Speaker 6: him support and you know, be a veteran presence and 55 00:02:18,520 --> 00:02:20,680 Speaker 6: then when it's time just kind of step aside. It 56 00:02:20,760 --> 00:02:23,440 Speaker 6: feels real to me. And here's what's going to be 57 00:02:23,440 --> 00:02:25,680 Speaker 6: really interesting. Two is going to have a little bit 58 00:02:25,720 --> 00:02:27,320 Speaker 6: of a leg up in the off season because Michael 59 00:02:27,320 --> 00:02:30,240 Speaker 6: Pennick Junior, still recovering from that ACL, is not going 60 00:02:30,280 --> 00:02:33,000 Speaker 6: to be able to get real and true reps in 61 00:02:33,040 --> 00:02:36,160 Speaker 6: May and June and potentially into training camp effact toa 62 00:02:36,240 --> 00:02:40,160 Speaker 6: may even start the season, depending on how ready Michael 63 00:02:40,160 --> 00:02:43,000 Speaker 6: Pennix Junior is, So there is going to be a competition. 64 00:02:43,160 --> 00:02:44,200 Speaker 2: He is going to have a lego. 65 00:02:44,320 --> 00:02:45,280 Speaker 5: The other thing I would. 66 00:02:45,080 --> 00:02:48,480 Speaker 6: Say is the the margin for error of TUA is 67 00:02:48,560 --> 00:02:50,600 Speaker 6: really thit right. It's not like he has all season 68 00:02:50,639 --> 00:02:53,840 Speaker 6: improve himself. Probably has a very very small window. He's 69 00:02:53,960 --> 00:02:56,600 Speaker 6: only twenty eight years old, feels like he's been around forever, 70 00:02:56,639 --> 00:02:59,200 Speaker 6: but only twenty eight years old. If he goes out 71 00:02:59,240 --> 00:03:02,120 Speaker 6: and plays well the first couple of games, three or 72 00:03:02,160 --> 00:03:04,480 Speaker 6: four games, he can set himself up to have the 73 00:03:04,560 --> 00:03:08,280 Speaker 6: kind of second career that say Baker Mayfield has had. Judy, 74 00:03:08,360 --> 00:03:12,639 Speaker 6: this is an unbelievable opportunity for twa provided he goes 75 00:03:12,639 --> 00:03:13,519 Speaker 6: out and plays. 76 00:03:13,200 --> 00:03:16,280 Speaker 8: Well well, and provided he can stay on the field 77 00:03:16,360 --> 00:03:18,960 Speaker 8: and stay healthy, which is the thing that has tripped 78 00:03:19,080 --> 00:03:22,360 Speaker 8: up to us so very often. He has only played 79 00:03:22,600 --> 00:03:26,480 Speaker 8: one full season. That was twenty twenty three. He played 80 00:03:26,480 --> 00:03:29,720 Speaker 8: all seventeen games. Not surprisingly, his numbers were terrific. That 81 00:03:29,800 --> 00:03:32,560 Speaker 8: Dolphins won eleven games that year. That's the last time 82 00:03:33,080 --> 00:03:35,920 Speaker 8: they went to the playoffs. But he's got a big 83 00:03:36,040 --> 00:03:38,160 Speaker 8: injury history. We know all about it. He's got a 84 00:03:38,160 --> 00:03:43,720 Speaker 8: concussion history. Unfortunately, last year his numbers were really off. 85 00:03:43,760 --> 00:03:46,960 Speaker 8: His completion percentage was off, his touchdown numbers were down, 86 00:03:47,000 --> 00:03:50,640 Speaker 8: his interception numbers were up. Obviously, Tyreek Hill being off 87 00:03:50,640 --> 00:03:53,280 Speaker 8: the field with his injury played a part in that. 88 00:03:53,760 --> 00:03:56,560 Speaker 8: He's only twenty eight years old. Our Mark Ross has 89 00:03:56,640 --> 00:03:59,280 Speaker 8: raised the question, though, is he like a shot fighter, 90 00:03:59,360 --> 00:04:03,120 Speaker 8: has his best football already passed him by. Certainly, Tua 91 00:04:03,480 --> 00:04:06,680 Speaker 8: doesn't believe that twenty eight years old, he's going to 92 00:04:06,760 --> 00:04:09,280 Speaker 8: have plenty of weapons around him. And as you pointed out, Ian, 93 00:04:09,400 --> 00:04:12,840 Speaker 8: he has a huge opportunity here because Michael Penis is 94 00:04:12,840 --> 00:04:15,520 Speaker 8: probably not going to be able to get off season 95 00:04:15,640 --> 00:04:18,960 Speaker 8: work that he will need, so big opportunity. But the 96 00:04:19,000 --> 00:04:21,680 Speaker 8: big if with Tua is still the same, can he 97 00:04:21,880 --> 00:04:22,600 Speaker 8: stay healthy. 98 00:04:23,040 --> 00:04:23,839 Speaker 2: Tua had a few. 99 00:04:23,720 --> 00:04:26,240 Speaker 1: Teams interested in the Jets being one of them, and 100 00:04:26,360 --> 00:04:29,280 Speaker 1: decided quickly that he wanted to be with the Falcons, 101 00:04:29,320 --> 00:04:31,880 Speaker 1: and the Falcons wanted to have him as well, Judy, 102 00:04:31,920 --> 00:04:34,279 Speaker 1: in large part because of that opportunity you're talking about 103 00:04:34,279 --> 00:04:38,039 Speaker 1: with Michael Pennix coming back from injury and his ability 104 00:04:38,080 --> 00:04:41,600 Speaker 1: to work with Kevin Stefanski and the offensive coaches along 105 00:04:41,920 --> 00:04:45,120 Speaker 1: the entire offseason. Certainly a great opportunity, and there you 106 00:04:45,160 --> 00:04:47,760 Speaker 1: see the smile on his face knowing what an opportunity 107 00:04:47,920 --> 00:04:48,240 Speaker 1: it is. 108 00:04:48,360 --> 00:04:49,440 Speaker 2: The wise get in here. 109 00:04:50,400 --> 00:04:53,320 Speaker 1: You know plenty about the Falcons, having covered them at 110 00:04:53,360 --> 00:04:55,599 Speaker 1: length for years, So let's get your thoughts on Tua 111 00:04:56,080 --> 00:04:58,000 Speaker 1: joining Atlanta, what it means for him, what it means 112 00:04:58,040 --> 00:04:58,480 Speaker 1: for the team. 113 00:04:58,920 --> 00:05:01,160 Speaker 9: Well, at first of you said later in that news 114 00:05:01,160 --> 00:05:04,279 Speaker 9: conference was he was very honest saying I did not 115 00:05:04,400 --> 00:05:07,560 Speaker 9: play well last year. You can't sugarcoat it, and that 116 00:05:07,720 --> 00:05:10,279 Speaker 9: is what's really stemming this competitive drive. Now he's in 117 00:05:10,320 --> 00:05:12,560 Speaker 9: a situation, as you all have been talking about, where 118 00:05:12,560 --> 00:05:14,480 Speaker 9: he's gonna get the majority of the offseason rep So 119 00:05:14,520 --> 00:05:17,920 Speaker 9: how Michael Pennix recovers from that acl But one thing 120 00:05:17,920 --> 00:05:20,080 Speaker 9: that really suits well for him is he's coming into 121 00:05:20,120 --> 00:05:23,360 Speaker 9: a system with Kevin Stefanski that plays to his strengths, 122 00:05:23,440 --> 00:05:26,920 Speaker 9: right plays to timing. Dozen things were throws the ball 123 00:05:27,000 --> 00:05:30,400 Speaker 9: into the intermediate range where he's got Kyle Pitts, the 124 00:05:30,480 --> 00:05:32,200 Speaker 9: tight end where he's got Drake London. They go out 125 00:05:32,200 --> 00:05:35,600 Speaker 9: and they get Jahan Dotson and oh yeah, there's Bijon Robinson. 126 00:05:35,960 --> 00:05:38,080 Speaker 9: The offseason is going to be interesting to me for 127 00:05:38,200 --> 00:05:41,960 Speaker 9: both quarterbacks because neither of them has really played much 128 00:05:42,120 --> 00:05:45,520 Speaker 9: under center. Kevin Stefanski would prefer his quarterback to play 129 00:05:45,640 --> 00:05:48,120 Speaker 9: under center, but he's shown in his time as head 130 00:05:48,120 --> 00:05:50,479 Speaker 9: coach with Cleveland to have his guys play majority and 131 00:05:50,480 --> 00:05:52,960 Speaker 9: shotgun like he did with Deshaun Watson, or get them 132 00:05:53,040 --> 00:05:56,120 Speaker 9: under center depending on their strengths. So again, a lot 133 00:05:56,120 --> 00:05:58,440 Speaker 9: of learning this offseason. But as we've talked about, more 134 00:05:58,480 --> 00:06:00,680 Speaker 9: and more tool with the leg because he's going to 135 00:06:00,720 --> 00:06:03,440 Speaker 9: get the early access to running this offense. 136 00:06:03,800 --> 00:06:06,279 Speaker 1: Stefanski with a touch of a left handed quarterback last 137 00:06:06,360 --> 00:06:08,359 Speaker 1: year and Dylan Gabriel now got two of them in 138 00:06:08,520 --> 00:06:11,680 Speaker 1: Pennix and to us certainly helps with the consolidation as 139 00:06:11,680 --> 00:06:13,960 Speaker 1: far as game planning goes, because I hear a lot 140 00:06:14,000 --> 00:06:16,000 Speaker 1: of times, oh the left he comes in. It changes everything, 141 00:06:16,040 --> 00:06:19,000 Speaker 1: specifically for the offensive lineman. Wife go nowhere because you're 142 00:06:19,000 --> 00:06:24,000 Speaker 1: coming back later in the program Elsewhere on the quarterback carousel, 143 00:06:24,640 --> 00:06:27,040 Speaker 1: veteran Joe flaccoh yes back. 144 00:06:26,960 --> 00:06:28,599 Speaker 2: With the Bengals and a one year deal. 145 00:06:29,600 --> 00:06:32,000 Speaker 1: Ian reported the numbers I think was six million up 146 00:06:32,040 --> 00:06:33,479 Speaker 1: to nine million breakup. 147 00:06:33,200 --> 00:06:34,920 Speaker 2: Deal for Joe Flack, Like, why would you walk away 148 00:06:34,920 --> 00:06:36,440 Speaker 2: from that? Look at the looking a smile on that 149 00:06:36,480 --> 00:06:36,960 Speaker 2: man's face. 150 00:06:37,040 --> 00:06:39,120 Speaker 1: You want to pay me again that much money. 151 00:06:39,040 --> 00:06:39,640 Speaker 2: I'll take it. 152 00:06:40,160 --> 00:06:42,760 Speaker 1: Aaron Rodgers has got more money likely coming his way 153 00:06:42,760 --> 00:06:44,920 Speaker 1: from the Steelers if he just would make a decision 154 00:06:45,000 --> 00:06:47,640 Speaker 1: whether he wants to return or not. We were told 155 00:06:47,760 --> 00:06:49,839 Speaker 1: it was not going to linger nearly as long as 156 00:06:49,880 --> 00:06:51,400 Speaker 1: it did last year. 157 00:06:51,920 --> 00:06:53,880 Speaker 2: Well, then we better we better get on it. 158 00:06:54,680 --> 00:06:57,520 Speaker 1: Here's Mike McCarthy, the coach of the Steelers at Rogers 159 00:06:57,640 --> 00:07:00,560 Speaker 1: former head coach with the Packers, asked the see Bob 160 00:07:00,600 --> 00:07:04,160 Speaker 1: Harland celebration of life in Green Bay by Kevin Harland, 161 00:07:04,440 --> 00:07:06,360 Speaker 1: Bob's son about Rogers. 162 00:07:07,600 --> 00:07:09,000 Speaker 4: Yes, it'd be a great story. 163 00:07:09,760 --> 00:07:12,480 Speaker 10: I don't know, and I would love to tell everybody 164 00:07:13,600 --> 00:07:17,320 Speaker 10: breaking news, but no, you know, it's it's it's really 165 00:07:18,400 --> 00:07:21,960 Speaker 10: it's it's really cool to see Aaron at forty two.

Anyway, everything we have seen and heard 179 00:08:01,280 --> 00:08:04,040 Speaker 8: from the Steelers so far this offseason points to Aaron 180 00:08:04,120 --> 00:08:08,760 Speaker 8: Rodgers returning, simply because the Steelers haven't really done anything 181 00:08:08,800 --> 00:08:11,400 Speaker 8: else in the quarterback department. They have not put a 182 00:08:11,400 --> 00:08:14,280 Speaker 8: deadline on this. They certainly don't think we're all going 183 00:08:14,360 --> 00:08:16,720 Speaker 8: to be waiting until June, which is when we finally 184 00:08:16,760 --> 00:08:19,680 Speaker 8: got the Aaron Rodgers decision last off season. 185 00:08:20,680 --> 00:08:21,680 Speaker 7: You know, it's March. 186 00:08:22,000 --> 00:08:24,520 Speaker 8: I think they would be happy with the decision whenever 187 00:08:24,600 --> 00:08:27,200 Speaker 8: it comes. But again, their lack of movement on the 188 00:08:27,280 --> 00:08:32,040 Speaker 8: quarterback front certainly suggests that they fully expect Aaron Rodgers 189 00:08:32,440 --> 00:08:35,680 Speaker 8: to return. They will pivot if they have to, but 190 00:08:35,760 --> 00:08:37,520 Speaker 8: they've done a lot of work to shore up that 191 00:08:37,600 --> 00:08:40,440 Speaker 8: offense while they wait for him. So it's a pretty 192 00:08:40,440 --> 00:08:42,960 Speaker 8: good situation. He would be returning to a coach he's 193 00:08:42,960 --> 00:08:46,600 Speaker 8: had great success with a short up offense. It's a 194 00:08:46,600 --> 00:08:49,480 Speaker 8: good situation for Aaron Rodgers. Please make a decision soon. 195 00:08:50,200 --> 00:08:52,520 Speaker 6: Although then if you've made a decision quickly, what would 196 00:08:52,600 --> 00:08:54,160 Speaker 6: we have to talk about it. I don't quite feel 197 00:08:54,160 --> 00:08:57,040 Speaker 6: like last year, but we are in a similar situation 198 00:08:57,080 --> 00:08:59,440 Speaker 6: where it's March and we don't know whether or not 199 00:08:59,480 --> 00:09:01,800 Speaker 6: Aaron Rodger going to play, and you're right, Judy. There's 200 00:09:01,800 --> 00:09:05,040 Speaker 6: been a lot of kind of assumptions by many people 201 00:09:05,040 --> 00:09:07,120 Speaker 6: following this that Aaron Rodgers just come in and play 202 00:09:07,160 --> 00:09:09,400 Speaker 6: for the Steelers. They haven't made a quarterback move, although 203 00:09:09,440 --> 00:09:11,880 Speaker 6: they can. Kirk Cousins, by the way, is still out there. 204 00:09:12,000 --> 00:09:13,640 Speaker 6: They still have the draft they picked right in the 205 00:09:13,640 --> 00:09:15,840 Speaker 6: middle of the first round. Could certainly take a quarterback 206 00:09:16,200 --> 00:09:18,600 Speaker 6: like Ty Simpson if that is a direction they want 207 00:09:18,600 --> 00:09:18,839 Speaker 6: to go to. 208 00:09:18,960 --> 00:09:21,360 Speaker 5: Some other veteran quarterbacks for sure available. 209 00:09:21,400 --> 00:09:24,480 Speaker 6: Plus there are some quarterbacks on their roster, including Will Howard, 210 00:09:24,720 --> 00:09:27,400 Speaker 6: who they like. Here's what I would say trying to 211 00:09:27,400 --> 00:09:30,600 Speaker 6: sum up the situation. I don't know if Aaron Rodgers 212 00:09:30,720 --> 00:09:32,640 Speaker 6: is going to play next year. It does not seem 213 00:09:32,920 --> 00:09:36,080 Speaker 6: like the Steelers and Mike McCarthy know whether or not 214 00:09:36,120 --> 00:09:37,840 Speaker 6: Aaron Rodgers is going to play next year. 215 00:09:37,840 --> 00:09:40,480 Speaker 5: If you talk to people who know him well, they 216 00:09:40,520 --> 00:09:41,160 Speaker 5: do not know. 217 00:09:41,080 --> 00:09:43,200 Speaker 6: If Aaron Rodgers is going to play next year. So 218 00:09:43,240 --> 00:09:46,640 Speaker 6: that does seem to be some real uncertainty about whether 219 00:09:46,720 --> 00:09:49,640 Speaker 6: or not Rodgers will in fact play. The early word 220 00:09:49,760 --> 00:09:51,800 Speaker 6: that he was going to decide before free agency. Then 221 00:09:51,840 --> 00:09:53,960 Speaker 6: it was like, all right, we'll probably in March none 222 00:09:54,000 --> 00:09:57,079 Speaker 6: of those things have yet happened, and until and unless 223 00:09:57,360 --> 00:10:00,800 Speaker 6: Rodgers makes a firm decision, it is very much up 224 00:10:00,840 --> 00:10:02,160 Speaker 6: in the air in Pittsburgh. 225 00:10:02,240 --> 00:10:04,720 Speaker 1: In Pittsburgh, which is where the draft will be in 226 00:10:04,800 --> 00:10:06,640 Speaker 1: less than a month. You know you want to do 227 00:10:06,640 --> 00:10:07,880 Speaker 1: a little bit of Shoeman chip. 228 00:10:08,800 --> 00:10:09,720 Speaker 2: Why don't you go for that? 229 00:10:09,920 --> 00:10:13,720 Speaker 1: Aaron announce it right there, speaking of the draft. Travis 230 00:10:13,760 --> 00:10:14,600 Speaker 1: Kelcey not in the draft. 231 00:10:14,720 --> 00:10:18,120 Speaker 2: Judy, go for it all right. 232 00:10:18,200 --> 00:10:21,439 Speaker 8: Bucky Brooks has mock Draft three point zero. We're already 233 00:10:21,520 --> 00:10:23,960 Speaker 8: up to three point zero. There you see his top 234 00:10:24,000 --> 00:10:27,640 Speaker 8: ten picks. Of course, Bernanda Mendoza sitting at number one. 235 00:10:28,160 --> 00:10:31,560 Speaker 8: A whole lot of Ohio state representation there. But look 236 00:10:31,640 --> 00:10:35,520 Speaker 8: at the fourth overall pick from the Tennessee Titans, running 237 00:10:35,559 --> 00:10:39,920 Speaker 8: back Jeremiah Love from Notre Dame. By the way, Notre 238 00:10:39,960 --> 00:10:42,760 Speaker 8: Dame Hoalse helped us Pro Day today. Lots of NFL 239 00:10:42,840 --> 00:10:45,840 Speaker 8: representation there to see Love and a whole bunch of 240 00:10:45,880 --> 00:10:49,000 Speaker 8: his soon to be former teammates. I saw Frank Reich 241 00:10:49,120 --> 00:10:51,079 Speaker 8: was talking to Marcus Freeman on the sideline. 242 00:10:51,160 --> 00:10:52,200 Speaker 7: Stacy Dales was there. 243 00:10:52,240 --> 00:10:55,280 Speaker 2: She talked to a whole lot of people too, including. 244 00:10:54,800 --> 00:10:59,600 Speaker 11: Love, Jeremiah love is not performing as you told me 245 00:10:59,640 --> 00:11:02,760 Speaker 11: at thee because you had an electric combine performance. 246 00:11:03,280 --> 00:11:05,960 Speaker 12: But you are here. What have you been doing since 247 00:11:06,000 --> 00:11:07,480 Speaker 12: we saw you in Indianapolis? 248 00:11:09,480 --> 00:11:12,080 Speaker 13: I got my chocolate shake after the combine, That's what 249 00:11:12,120 --> 00:11:17,240 Speaker 13: I got. But honestly, I've just been I've been meeting 250 00:11:17,280 --> 00:11:19,320 Speaker 13: with a lot of teams since the combine. I went 251 00:11:19,360 --> 00:11:22,520 Speaker 13: on a couple of visits, just been doing what I do, 252 00:11:22,720 --> 00:11:25,360 Speaker 13: been trying to find ways to work out throughout all 253 00:11:25,360 --> 00:11:27,240 Speaker 13: this traveling, and just been trying to find ways to 254 00:11:27,240 --> 00:11:29,040 Speaker 13: stay focused because you know, at the end of the day, 255 00:11:29,040 --> 00:11:32,640 Speaker 13: I'm get drafted wherever I go, going right into Ota, 256 00:11:32,760 --> 00:11:35,000 Speaker 13: so I got to be ready for that opportunity. So 257 00:11:35,040 --> 00:11:36,959 Speaker 13: they've been fine. I'm trying to trying to find ways 258 00:11:37,160 --> 00:11:40,640 Speaker 13: to train and shoot. 259 00:11:41,280 --> 00:11:41,600 Speaker 4: Chilling. 260 00:11:41,679 --> 00:11:44,960 Speaker 12: Shoot is chilling. Chilling is good. Chocolate shakes are good. 261 00:11:45,000 --> 00:11:47,079 Speaker 11: But one of the things you told me, Jeremiah at 262 00:11:47,080 --> 00:11:49,200 Speaker 11: the combine was you wanted to drop a. 263 00:11:49,200 --> 00:11:50,840 Speaker 12: Few pounds a little bit later. 264 00:11:51,040 --> 00:11:52,160 Speaker 4: Yeah, have you done that? 265 00:11:52,280 --> 00:11:53,199 Speaker 12: How have you done that? 266 00:11:54,559 --> 00:11:57,160 Speaker 13: I have not weighed in since the combine, so I 267 00:11:57,240 --> 00:11:59,079 Speaker 13: don't even know what I weigh right now. I feel 268 00:11:59,120 --> 00:12:01,400 Speaker 13: lighter because I've been eating a little bit healthier. 269 00:12:01,600 --> 00:12:03,760 Speaker 12: So no chocolate Chick fil A chocolate shakes. 270 00:12:04,000 --> 00:12:07,080 Speaker 13: I had one. That's all I could afford to have. 271 00:12:07,920 --> 00:12:09,360 Speaker 13: That's all I could afford to have. You know, I 272 00:12:09,360 --> 00:12:12,040 Speaker 13: had to reward myself for that amazing combine performance. But 273 00:12:12,080 --> 00:12:14,360 Speaker 13: after then, I've been trying to eat right, been trying 274 00:12:14,360 --> 00:12:16,120 Speaker 13: to make sure I'm putting good things in my body 275 00:12:16,160 --> 00:12:19,199 Speaker 13: so that my body stays healthy throughout this time of 276 00:12:19,200 --> 00:12:21,480 Speaker 13: me doing all this traveling and trying to find ways 277 00:12:21,480 --> 00:12:22,560 Speaker 13: to work out and stuff like that. 278 00:12:22,600 --> 00:12:24,760 Speaker 11: The only thing I regret not asking you was how 279 00:12:24,960 --> 00:12:27,800 Speaker 11: impressive your back flip was when we saw you do 280 00:12:27,880 --> 00:12:29,440 Speaker 11: it after the running back drills. 281 00:12:30,360 --> 00:12:32,959 Speaker 12: Did you rehearse that? And do we have anything planned 282 00:12:33,000 --> 00:12:34,000 Speaker 12: for the draft? Perhaps? 283 00:12:35,000 --> 00:12:37,880 Speaker 13: I've been flipping since I was about seven years old, 284 00:12:38,280 --> 00:12:40,600 Speaker 13: so it was not planned. 285 00:12:40,679 --> 00:12:42,080 Speaker 4: The guys was like, hey, let's. 286 00:12:41,960 --> 00:12:43,880 Speaker 13: Go hit the backlet anybody can hit back like I can't. 287 00:12:44,120 --> 00:12:47,160 Speaker 13: I bet you're gonnahit at cartw into a backflip, and 288 00:12:47,200 --> 00:12:49,439 Speaker 13: I just did it. I've been flipping since I was seven. 289 00:12:49,679 --> 00:12:51,400 Speaker 13: I had some crazy flips when I was a kid. 290 00:12:51,520 --> 00:12:53,320 Speaker 13: I used to jump off of stuff, flip off my 291 00:12:53,400 --> 00:12:55,880 Speaker 13: cousin's hands, and do a lot of crazy stuff, but 292 00:12:57,040 --> 00:12:59,160 Speaker 13: I'm never going to see anything at the draft. 293 00:12:59,160 --> 00:13:00,000 Speaker 12: Are you going to the draft? 294 00:13:00,120 --> 00:13:00,720 Speaker 4: I am yes. 295 00:13:00,800 --> 00:13:02,240 Speaker 12: Do you have a suit a fit pick? 296 00:13:02,360 --> 00:13:04,600 Speaker 4: I do. I do. Give it a nice colorway. 297 00:13:06,480 --> 00:13:08,480 Speaker 13: It's gonna be nice and elegant. I'm not gonna be 298 00:13:08,480 --> 00:13:11,400 Speaker 13: too flashy about it. I want to be you know, nice, clean, 299 00:13:11,480 --> 00:13:12,080 Speaker 13: sleek type. 300 00:13:12,120 --> 00:13:14,400 Speaker 4: Look. Okay, it'll be a nice little color. 301 00:13:14,520 --> 00:13:17,840 Speaker 11: So the flips come in handy because you hurdle people 302 00:13:17,960 --> 00:13:21,200 Speaker 11: on the field. They call you a running back, but 303 00:13:21,960 --> 00:13:24,840 Speaker 11: everybody out there understands you are a weapon. How do 304 00:13:24,960 --> 00:13:28,200 Speaker 11: you see yourself as mister versatility entering the NFL. 305 00:13:29,000 --> 00:13:31,240 Speaker 13: I see myself as coming to the NFL and doing 306 00:13:31,280 --> 00:13:33,200 Speaker 13: whatever the team needs me to do. You know, you 307 00:13:33,240 --> 00:13:34,280 Speaker 13: want me to split out wide. 308 00:13:34,280 --> 00:13:35,160 Speaker 4: I can do that. You know. 309 00:13:35,240 --> 00:13:38,000 Speaker 13: Obviously, I can run the ball, I can block, I 310 00:13:38,000 --> 00:13:39,880 Speaker 13: can play special teams even if you need me to. 311 00:13:39,960 --> 00:13:41,440 Speaker 13: I would love to go out and play some gunner 312 00:13:41,720 --> 00:13:44,040 Speaker 13: or some kick return or something like that. I would 313 00:13:44,040 --> 00:13:46,120 Speaker 13: love to do that. Like I mean, that's how I 314 00:13:46,160 --> 00:13:48,560 Speaker 13: came into college and made made a name for myself 315 00:13:48,559 --> 00:13:50,439 Speaker 13: on the team. You know, the coaches trust me and 316 00:13:50,520 --> 00:13:52,680 Speaker 13: up put me on special teams. So I have no 317 00:13:52,720 --> 00:13:55,280 Speaker 13: problem doing that at the NFL level, but obviously. 318 00:13:54,920 --> 00:13:55,840 Speaker 4: I'm probably not gonna do that. 319 00:13:55,880 --> 00:14:00,600 Speaker 13: But as me being very versatile, I picture perfect me 320 00:14:01,040 --> 00:14:03,000 Speaker 13: being able to split out wide and play the slot 321 00:14:03,280 --> 00:14:04,880 Speaker 13: and then also just come back in and back through 322 00:14:04,920 --> 00:14:07,640 Speaker 13: and an attack from there. So perfect version of me 323 00:14:07,720 --> 00:14:09,560 Speaker 13: has been able to do both of those Simon chanelessly 324 00:14:10,000 --> 00:14:12,520 Speaker 13: and just having success at both of those. 325 00:14:12,679 --> 00:14:14,880 Speaker 12: Beautifully said, do you watch the mock drafts, By. 326 00:14:14,760 --> 00:14:17,000 Speaker 13: The way, you try not to look at him, but 327 00:14:17,120 --> 00:14:19,080 Speaker 13: I see a lot of what a lot of people say. 328 00:14:19,160 --> 00:14:20,480 Speaker 12: You don't need to look at him. 329 00:14:21,160 --> 00:14:23,880 Speaker 13: You're going high, my friend, I'm gonna get drafted somewhere, 330 00:14:24,080 --> 00:14:25,800 Speaker 13: and wherever I go, I'm gonna give him my best. 331 00:14:26,120 --> 00:14:28,680 Speaker 11: You're gonna get drafted real high.

As you know, they were 340 00:14:53,520 --> 00:14:56,440 Speaker 8: not just there to see Jeremiah Love. Who else you 341 00:14:56,480 --> 00:14:58,040 Speaker 8: have your eye on from the fighting Irish? 342 00:14:58,880 --> 00:15:01,480 Speaker 14: Well, if I just go back to the combine when 343 00:15:01,600 --> 00:15:05,720 Speaker 14: Stacey interviewed Jeremiah Love and he he finished the running 344 00:15:05,720 --> 00:15:08,680 Speaker 14: back drills with that flip of his He wasn't done, 345 00:15:08,840 --> 00:15:12,120 Speaker 14: and neither was Jendarium Price. They both went and caught 346 00:15:12,160 --> 00:15:15,640 Speaker 14: passes as a wide receiver from quarterbacks for the next 347 00:15:15,640 --> 00:15:18,560 Speaker 14: thirty minutes before the next position group came on the field, 348 00:15:18,600 --> 00:15:21,480 Speaker 14: I think. And so when you watch Genarium Price right here, 349 00:15:21,800 --> 00:15:24,120 Speaker 14: like he's a complete pack, he's a change of page. 350 00:15:24,120 --> 00:15:27,000 Speaker 14: It's been a good one to two punch between Love 351 00:15:27,120 --> 00:15:30,760 Speaker 14: and between Jenarian Price, and so you know his open 352 00:15:30,800 --> 00:15:34,360 Speaker 14: field maneuverability to find the open space like he does 353 00:15:34,440 --> 00:15:37,680 Speaker 14: right here against Arkansas, Like you see the vision that 354 00:15:37,760 --> 00:15:40,440 Speaker 14: he can really find it. And he's got enough power 355 00:15:40,800 --> 00:15:42,920 Speaker 14: and speed to be able to burs. So you know 356 00:15:43,000 --> 00:15:46,080 Speaker 14: they might be the first and second running backs off 357 00:15:46,120 --> 00:15:50,160 Speaker 14: the board, you know, come draft draft night that Thursday night, 358 00:15:50,400 --> 00:15:52,960 Speaker 14: and then honestly, Miles Kai fields here. 359 00:15:53,520 --> 00:15:54,440 Speaker 4: He's a guy that. 360 00:15:54,440 --> 00:15:57,120 Speaker 14: I don't think has come close to reach his potential. 361 00:15:57,480 --> 00:16:00,520 Speaker 14: He's over six foot four, he's two hundred and twenty pounds. 362 00:16:01,280 --> 00:16:03,480 Speaker 14: Who you watch him. I don't know if he gets 363 00:16:03,560 --> 00:16:06,760 Speaker 14: using a rookie quarterback obviously in CJ. Carr, but he's 364 00:16:06,760 --> 00:16:09,640 Speaker 14: a guy that can really stretch the field as a 365 00:16:09,680 --> 00:16:13,040 Speaker 14: true X receiver and use his size as an advantage, 366 00:16:13,800 --> 00:16:16,880 Speaker 14: and then it's just his overall reach. I think Malachi 367 00:16:17,000 --> 00:16:21,240 Speaker 14: Fields has a real place, you know, at the NFL level. Now, 368 00:16:21,280 --> 00:16:24,480 Speaker 14: he didn't run a burning speed, but at that size 369 00:16:24,520 --> 00:16:26,800 Speaker 14: you don't have to you catch all the backshoulder of 370 00:16:26,800 --> 00:16:28,920 Speaker 14: fads and he can you know, he can stop with 371 00:16:29,040 --> 00:16:31,440 Speaker 14: a dime and maybe even leave a little bit of change. 372 00:16:31,520 --> 00:16:33,560 Speaker 14: I'd like to say, like he has ability to come 373 00:16:33,600 --> 00:16:37,320 Speaker 14: back and create a separation for any quarterback that might 374 00:16:37,360 --> 00:16:38,040 Speaker 14: be throwing him in. 375 00:16:37,960 --> 00:16:42,080 Speaker 8: The ball fighting. Are definitely back in the mix for 376 00:16:42,120 --> 00:16:43,960 Speaker 8: the draft ball date, don't go far.

So just being able to exploit my football 687 00:31:28,840 --> 00:31:32,560 Speaker 16: knowledge as well has been great. Uh. It was fun 688 00:31:32,680 --> 00:31:35,160 Speaker 16: being able to go to Pro Day and you know 689 00:31:35,360 --> 00:31:37,920 Speaker 16: run around a little bit. Obviously I was dealing with 690 00:31:38,000 --> 00:31:41,480 Speaker 16: the PCL spring, so it felt good being able to 691 00:31:41,520 --> 00:31:44,920 Speaker 16: finally run around again. But everything's been showing up. Everything, 692 00:31:45,040 --> 00:31:48,280 Speaker 16: like the whole culture, everything has been showing up in 693 00:31:48,360 --> 00:31:50,600 Speaker 16: these meetings as far as what I experienced in college. 694 00:31:50,600 --> 00:31:53,360 Speaker 16: So it's really you know, I would say definitely have 695 00:31:53,440 --> 00:31:56,920 Speaker 16: an advantage, you know, being being with Jeff Fishing, running 696 00:31:56,920 --> 00:31:59,320 Speaker 16: backs co Scottie Graham. You know, it's all showing up 697 00:31:59,360 --> 00:32:02,760 Speaker 16: and it's all like, you know, feel like second nature. 698 00:32:02,800 --> 00:32:05,440 Speaker 16: I feel like I'm just getting taught the offense again 699 00:32:05,520 --> 00:32:07,520 Speaker 16: at Washington or at Arizona. 700 00:32:07,520 --> 00:32:09,000 Speaker 7: It's literally the same exact. 701 00:32:08,680 --> 00:32:11,960 Speaker 16: Thing, maybe a little bit, you know, different tweaks of terminology, 702 00:32:12,040 --> 00:32:14,080 Speaker 16: but just being able to dominate the something that I 703 00:32:14,160 --> 00:32:15,760 Speaker 16: love doing, and that's what I've been doing. 704 00:32:15,920 --> 00:32:18,640 Speaker 1: Ready, you're doing a great job here right out of 705 00:32:18,640 --> 00:32:21,040 Speaker 1: the gate. You know, hey, I'm not sure about your order. Also, 706 00:32:21,120 --> 00:32:24,800 Speaker 1: I'm dominating these zooms. I am going to guess, having 707 00:32:24,920 --> 00:32:27,360 Speaker 1: just met you here that confidence is not an issue with. 708 00:32:27,320 --> 00:32:30,320 Speaker 7: You on there off the field at all, no question. 709 00:32:31,000 --> 00:32:32,080 Speaker 2: And that's I've been listening. 710 00:32:32,160 --> 00:32:33,960 Speaker 1: I'm sure that showing up in these meetings, it's also 711 00:32:34,000 --> 00:32:36,320 Speaker 1: showed up in your play as well. I mean, I 712 00:32:36,360 --> 00:32:38,320 Speaker 1: see the way that guys talk about your team cap 713 00:32:38,480 --> 00:32:40,800 Speaker 1: This is our guy land zerline for NFL dot Com 714 00:32:40,840 --> 00:32:42,840 Speaker 1: team captain with a compact and sturdy base. 715 00:32:43,240 --> 00:32:46,120 Speaker 2: Lost only one fumble in four seasons. 716 00:32:46,160 --> 00:32:49,840 Speaker 1: Now, I know that that's impressing some college some pro coaches. 717 00:32:49,880 --> 00:32:53,479 Speaker 1: Excuse me, how do you communicate to them how important 718 00:32:53,520 --> 00:32:54,520 Speaker 1: ball security is for you? 719 00:32:55,160 --> 00:32:57,560 Speaker 7: Oh? A coach for this is actually funny. 720 00:32:57,600 --> 00:32:59,920 Speaker 16: It showed up in the meeting and the coach was like, Ballsy, Like, 721 00:33:00,240 --> 00:33:01,960 Speaker 16: I need you to finish this sentence for me. 722 00:33:02,400 --> 00:33:05,800 Speaker 7: He said, ball security is job security. 723 00:33:05,880 --> 00:33:08,080 Speaker 16: I finished off with job security because that's how we 724 00:33:08,760 --> 00:33:11,080 Speaker 16: you know, we wordered it at Washington, like, ball security 725 00:33:11,120 --> 00:33:12,880 Speaker 16: is job security. If you don't hold onto this football, 726 00:33:12,920 --> 00:33:14,840 Speaker 16: how are we going to give you the ball? You know, 727 00:33:15,040 --> 00:33:17,440 Speaker 16: you have one job as a running back to protect 728 00:33:17,440 --> 00:33:20,160 Speaker 16: the football. So that's something that you know I do 729 00:33:20,320 --> 00:33:22,000 Speaker 16: very well. There's no reason for you to put the 730 00:33:22,040 --> 00:33:24,400 Speaker 16: ball on the ground. And I'm still kind of mad 731 00:33:24,440 --> 00:33:26,920 Speaker 16: about that one that I let on the ground. And uh, 732 00:33:27,120 --> 00:33:31,160 Speaker 16: but it literally had to happen, the last last college 733 00:33:31,200 --> 00:33:32,080 Speaker 16: game had to happen. 734 00:33:32,200 --> 00:33:35,080 Speaker 7: But but just really. 735 00:33:34,840 --> 00:33:36,920 Speaker 16: Sticking and sticking with your rules, you know, not not 736 00:33:36,960 --> 00:33:39,200 Speaker 16: trying to be like a superhero or nothing. I feel 737 00:33:39,240 --> 00:33:41,800 Speaker 16: like just sticking with the four prints of pressure your hand, 738 00:33:41,840 --> 00:33:44,320 Speaker 16: foreign body, you know, you know, be your bicep, block 739 00:33:44,360 --> 00:33:46,200 Speaker 16: it when you go to the ground, and closing that 740 00:33:46,240 --> 00:33:48,240 Speaker 16: back door, you know. And I feel like I have 741 00:33:48,280 --> 00:33:50,360 Speaker 16: an advantage because I don't feel like guys are really 742 00:33:50,360 --> 00:33:51,640 Speaker 16: trying to get the ball out of my hands. 743 00:33:51,640 --> 00:33:53,520 Speaker 7: I think they're more so worried about. 744 00:33:53,200 --> 00:33:55,200 Speaker 16: Tackling me than trying to get the ball out of 745 00:33:55,200 --> 00:33:56,920 Speaker 16: my hands. I feel you got to worry about tackling 746 00:33:56,960 --> 00:33:59,520 Speaker 16: me first. And the first thing is we got to 747 00:33:59,560 --> 00:34:01,760 Speaker 16: get this guy down other than Neelle ship the ball. 748 00:34:01,840 --> 00:34:04,840 Speaker 16: So I feel like that played a lot of how 749 00:34:04,880 --> 00:34:06,760 Speaker 16: successful will I love us? 750 00:34:06,840 --> 00:34:07,120 Speaker 4: Dude? 751 00:34:09,080 --> 00:34:11,200 Speaker 8: All right, you don't lack for confidence. So I want 752 00:34:11,200 --> 00:34:13,160 Speaker 8: to give you an opportunity to respond to this. When 753 00:34:13,200 --> 00:34:15,680 Speaker 8: you read the scattering reports and you read everything, the 754 00:34:15,719 --> 00:34:19,800 Speaker 8: one question that comes up is your speed, breakaway speed. 755 00:34:20,400 --> 00:34:22,920 Speaker 8: What do you say to people who doubt your speed. 756 00:34:23,480 --> 00:34:26,080 Speaker 16: Well, I just say, like, how many times in the 757 00:34:26,120 --> 00:34:29,239 Speaker 16: league do you see people going sixty seventy yard touchdowns? 758 00:34:29,280 --> 00:34:32,759 Speaker 7: Like each week, weekend, and week out. You don't really 759 00:34:32,760 --> 00:34:35,720 Speaker 7: see it show up, you know, a lot in the NFL. 760 00:34:35,840 --> 00:34:39,160 Speaker 16: I feel like I consistently get ten yard run, consistently 761 00:34:39,160 --> 00:34:42,160 Speaker 16: get fifteen yard run, consistently get you know, twenty yard runs. 762 00:34:42,160 --> 00:34:45,360 Speaker 16: I feel like I consistently do that, you know what 763 00:34:45,360 --> 00:34:47,400 Speaker 16: I mean. And when the opportunity. 764 00:34:47,080 --> 00:34:48,759 Speaker 7: Does, percent is up for me to go hit a 765 00:34:48,800 --> 00:34:51,040 Speaker 7: home run. Now I'll go do that. I haven't. 766 00:34:51,200 --> 00:34:54,160 Speaker 16: I came back another year obviously to get my cost 767 00:34:54,200 --> 00:34:55,480 Speaker 16: degree and to be able to show. 768 00:34:55,239 --> 00:34:57,280 Speaker 7: That it just you know, didn't hop it didn't happen. 769 00:34:57,880 --> 00:34:58,960 Speaker 5: You know, it's. 770 00:34:58,840 --> 00:35:01,200 Speaker 16: Football, and everything you goes the way you want her 771 00:35:01,239 --> 00:35:03,960 Speaker 16: to go. So just being able to play my game, 772 00:35:04,120 --> 00:35:06,400 Speaker 16: you know what I mean. I may not necessarily be 773 00:35:06,520 --> 00:35:10,000 Speaker 16: the ady r home run here, but you need ten 774 00:35:10,120 --> 00:35:11,640 Speaker 16: yards the first down to move to Thames. 775 00:35:11,640 --> 00:35:12,640 Speaker 7: I'm going to do that then. 776 00:35:12,880 --> 00:35:16,120 Speaker 16: Like I said, whenever the opportunity present itself, I'm able 777 00:35:16,120 --> 00:35:17,120 Speaker 16: to take advantage of it. 778 00:35:17,200 --> 00:35:19,160 Speaker 7: And it just didn't happen this past season. 779 00:35:19,280 --> 00:35:23,680 Speaker 16: So when those are the opportunities present itself again, I'm 780 00:35:23,920 --> 00:35:25,760 Speaker 16: going to take take take it to the fullest. 781 00:35:26,560 --> 00:35:28,319 Speaker 1: Talked about every part of his game. Don't forget the 782 00:35:28,320 --> 00:35:30,520 Speaker 1: pass protection. This was your quote from the combine. You're 783 00:35:30,560 --> 00:35:30,960 Speaker 1: not going to. 784 00:35:30,960 --> 00:35:33,600 Speaker 2: Play if you can't pass pro. It's simple. I'm paying 785 00:35:33,600 --> 00:35:36,120 Speaker 2: one hundred million to a quarterback. You're getting paid two million. 786 00:35:36,520 --> 00:35:39,680 Speaker 2: Who's more important? That was the pass protection statement. 787 00:35:39,760 --> 00:35:42,160 Speaker 1: So you are locked in on pass protection, a big 788 00:35:42,200 --> 00:35:43,440 Speaker 1: part of your game and a big part of what 789 00:35:43,560 --> 00:35:45,880 Speaker 1: NFL coaches want to see from rookiees. All right, you 790 00:35:45,880 --> 00:35:48,640 Speaker 1: want to continue to beat the odds, continue to be 791 00:35:48,680 --> 00:35:50,960 Speaker 1: an excellent interview for everybody's and continue to take care 792 00:35:50,960 --> 00:35:53,120 Speaker 1: of those fingernails.

Steve, 807 00:36:28,400 --> 00:36:31,920 Speaker 6: I will start with you what teams off season stands 808 00:36:31,960 --> 00:36:32,440 Speaker 6: out to you. 809 00:36:32,760 --> 00:36:36,319 Speaker 9: I'm going with those Las Vegas Raiders, and it's you know, 810 00:36:36,560 --> 00:36:39,960 Speaker 9: we see the quantity, we see the quality, but you 811 00:36:39,960 --> 00:36:42,880 Speaker 9: look at them adding someone like Tyler Linderbaum right the center. 812 00:36:42,920 --> 00:36:44,200 Speaker 2: They come over from the Ravens to that. 813 00:36:44,160 --> 00:36:47,399 Speaker 9: Big contract, Guity pay kway Walker, the Kobe Dean. They 814 00:36:47,400 --> 00:36:50,200 Speaker 9: went heavy when it comes to the volume on defense. 815 00:36:50,239 --> 00:36:52,640 Speaker 9: It's kind of tips where they're going to go offensively 816 00:36:52,719 --> 00:36:56,040 Speaker 9: in the draft with those ten picks starting with Bernando Mendoza. 817 00:36:56,120 --> 00:36:58,400 Speaker 9: But the one of the main reasons, Baldy, why I 818 00:36:58,560 --> 00:37:02,200 Speaker 9: like what the Raiders did isn't necessarily the amount of 819 00:37:02,200 --> 00:37:03,800 Speaker 9: players they brought in. We knew they were going to 820 00:37:03,880 --> 00:37:06,080 Speaker 9: do that, we knew they had the cap space. But 821 00:37:06,239 --> 00:37:10,000 Speaker 9: look at the organizations that they came from. They came 822 00:37:10,040 --> 00:37:12,960 Speaker 9: from winning organizations from the most part, where we've got 823 00:37:13,040 --> 00:37:15,840 Speaker 9: Tyler Linderbaum coming from the Ravens, Quick Walker, the Packers, 824 00:37:15,880 --> 00:37:18,200 Speaker 9: Dakobe Dean from the Eagles they won a Super Bowl 825 00:37:18,400 --> 00:37:21,320 Speaker 9: and they also traded it for Terren Johnson, the slot 826 00:37:21,320 --> 00:37:23,480 Speaker 9: corner where the best slot corners from. 827 00:37:23,320 --> 00:37:25,120 Speaker 2: The Buffalo Bills, Baldy. 828 00:37:25,320 --> 00:37:26,000 Speaker 4: We know this. 829 00:37:26,160 --> 00:37:30,040 Speaker 9: There are different organizations and different cultures. The Raiders are 830 00:37:30,200 --> 00:37:33,000 Speaker 9: probably at the bottom part of that pecking order when 831 00:37:33,040 --> 00:37:35,400 Speaker 9: it comes to culture. If you're trying to change the 832 00:37:35,440 --> 00:37:37,600 Speaker 9: culture and you bring in a bunch of guys where 833 00:37:37,600 --> 00:37:42,040 Speaker 9: there's player accountability from winning organizations, that is the seed 834 00:37:42,520 --> 00:37:44,799 Speaker 9: that needs to be watered in the desert if they 835 00:37:44,840 --> 00:37:47,160 Speaker 9: want to change their standing as being the worst team 836 00:37:47,160 --> 00:37:48,120 Speaker 9: in the AFC West. 837 00:37:48,840 --> 00:37:51,080 Speaker 14: And see don't forget that they're bringing in Klinton Kubiak 838 00:37:51,120 --> 00:37:53,320 Speaker 14: here yes to run the offense, coming from the Super 839 00:37:53,320 --> 00:37:55,960 Speaker 14: Bowl champion Seattle Seahawks. And that's where we want to 840 00:37:55,960 --> 00:37:58,839 Speaker 14: start with bike team, the New York Giants designing John 841 00:37:58,880 --> 00:38:02,520 Speaker 14: harber Come and a proven track record of what he 842 00:38:02,640 --> 00:38:05,400 Speaker 14: was able to accomplish in Baltimore. Bringing in some of 843 00:38:05,480 --> 00:38:09,799 Speaker 14: his guys Isaiah Likely along with Patrick Riccard. I think 844 00:38:09,840 --> 00:38:11,719 Speaker 14: one of the things that you're seeing with those two 845 00:38:11,719 --> 00:38:14,800 Speaker 14: guys and Tremaine Edmondson is they wanted to get bigger, 846 00:38:15,040 --> 00:38:17,520 Speaker 14: they wanted to get tougher. And as you just looked 847 00:38:17,719 --> 00:38:20,840 Speaker 14: last year to the Giants, I mean they you know, 848 00:38:20,920 --> 00:38:23,399 Speaker 14: they collapsed against the Cowboys earlier than the year, lost 849 00:38:23,440 --> 00:38:26,120 Speaker 14: in overtime. They collapsed against Denver when they had the 850 00:38:26,160 --> 00:38:29,120 Speaker 14: Broncos beat. They collapsed against the Bears later in the 851 00:38:29,160 --> 00:38:32,319 Speaker 14: season when they're up by ten points in the fourth quarter. 852 00:38:32,719 --> 00:38:35,040 Speaker 14: And so I think that you look at the coaching staff, 853 00:38:35,200 --> 00:38:37,799 Speaker 14: you look at the additions right here, a team that 854 00:38:37,960 --> 00:38:40,759 Speaker 14: is going to get elite neighbors and cam Scatta moved back. 855 00:38:41,640 --> 00:38:44,480 Speaker 14: We believe that those guys are difference makers and how 856 00:38:44,520 --> 00:38:48,040 Speaker 14: they play the game. I can see this team really 857 00:38:48,120 --> 00:38:52,000 Speaker 14: being built and changed in the eyes of John Harbaugh. 858 00:38:52,440 --> 00:38:54,120 Speaker 2: They beat the Eagles last year. 859 00:38:55,080 --> 00:38:58,480 Speaker 14: I feel like it's a team that can they beat 860 00:38:58,480 --> 00:39:01,359 Speaker 14: the Eagles? Can they win the division? They compete in 861 00:39:01,360 --> 00:39:03,400 Speaker 14: that division right now like they haven't been able to 862 00:39:03,640 --> 00:39:04,680 Speaker 14: the last few years. 863 00:39:04,880 --> 00:39:07,319 Speaker 6: A couple of the very fun storylines look forward to 864 00:39:07,400 --> 00:39:09,320 Speaker 6: for the twenty twenty sixth season. 865 00:39:13,760 --> 00:39:17,560 Speaker 1: Happy half a century to Peyton, Manning Eli posted on 866 00:39:17,760 --> 00:39:20,320 Speaker 1: exit earlier, knowing Peyton will be blowing out fifty candles 867 00:39:20,320 --> 00:39:22,240 Speaker 1: today really takes my breath away. 868 00:39:22,280 --> 00:39:24,879 Speaker 2: See that's an old person joke, Eat Rappaport. 869 00:39:25,680 --> 00:39:28,560 Speaker 6: So my favorite Peyton Manning story is right before his 870 00:39:28,640 --> 00:39:30,759 Speaker 6: final Super Bowl, when everyone was wondering whether he was 871 00:39:30,760 --> 00:39:32,440 Speaker 6: going to retire. He was clearly saving it up for 872 00:39:32,440 --> 00:39:35,160 Speaker 6: an announcement, and I reported that he was telling people 873 00:39:35,160 --> 00:39:36,759 Speaker 6: close to him that he was going to retire, and 874 00:39:36,800 --> 00:39:39,040 Speaker 6: he got very mad and decided to not do an 875 00:39:39,040 --> 00:39:41,560 Speaker 6: interview with us, and I felt terrible, but then I 876 00:39:41,600 --> 00:39:44,880 Speaker 6: was right, so then I felt less terrible. Anyway, Happy birthday, Peyton. 877 00:39:47,280 --> 00:39:51,040 Speaker 1: For more horrible stories, tune into The Insiders on Wednesday. 878 00:39:51,280 --> 00:39:53,560 Speaker 1: I actually we're shutting me in stories down.
