Everyone had 23 00:01:22,228 --> 00:01:25,708 Speaker 1: so much fun. When Snoop Huntley hit the drone target 24 00:01:25,748 --> 00:01:28,068 Speaker 1: that was hanging over the field, everybody went ballistic. He 25 00:01:28,108 --> 00:01:30,588 Speaker 1: would have thought it was manning to tyree. Guys. So 26 00:01:30,668 --> 00:01:34,788 Speaker 1: much love for this show from so many Pro Bowl players, Jamie, 27 00:01:34,868 --> 00:01:37,188 Speaker 1: they love you. And I got a little blind item here. 28 00:01:37,388 --> 00:01:40,828 Speaker 1: There was a first ballot Hall of Fame player who 29 00:01:40,828 --> 00:01:43,068 Speaker 1: had a bit of a warning for Peter Schraeger. And 30 00:01:43,068 --> 00:01:45,308 Speaker 1: maybe I'll get into that later, right right, want to 31 00:01:45,348 --> 00:01:47,708 Speaker 1: tell Anoah who found I have to say this time, Kyl, 32 00:01:49,588 --> 00:01:51,868 Speaker 1: he's already in Peter. This Hall of Famer is already 33 00:01:51,868 --> 00:01:54,828 Speaker 1: in first ballot. Don't don't put your mic Downkyle, because 34 00:01:54,868 --> 00:01:56,268 Speaker 1: we're gonna bounce right back to you when you hear 35 00:01:56,308 --> 00:01:58,828 Speaker 1: more about that time for the lead block. All right, 36 00:01:58,868 --> 00:02:03,108 Speaker 1: So both Super Bowl quarterbacks are dealing with Lee block 37 00:02:03,308 --> 00:02:07,948 Speaker 1: recent injuries. Trick Mahomes in some visible pain during last 38 00:02:07,948 --> 00:02:10,748 Speaker 1: week's AFC Championship win over the Bengals. Who was the 39 00:02:10,788 --> 00:02:12,988 Speaker 1: ankle injury that he suffered in the win the previous 40 00:02:13,068 --> 00:02:16,908 Speaker 1: week against the Jaguars. He bounced back thankfully due to 41 00:02:16,948 --> 00:02:18,788 Speaker 1: the Chief's training staff who got him there, but that 42 00:02:18,828 --> 00:02:21,708 Speaker 1: doesn't mean that some of those throws are uncomfortable for him. Yesterday, 43 00:02:21,748 --> 00:02:24,148 Speaker 1: he was asked if he took a step backwards with 44 00:02:24,228 --> 00:02:26,868 Speaker 1: that high ankle spring, and then Jalen Hurts spoke on 45 00:02:27,148 --> 00:02:30,588 Speaker 1: the health of his shoulder. I don't think I had 46 00:02:30,588 --> 00:02:32,668 Speaker 1: any step backwards or anything like that. I know, like 47 00:02:32,708 --> 00:02:34,988 Speaker 1: reaggravation of the ankle, a little bit of pain I 48 00:02:35,028 --> 00:02:36,868 Speaker 1: had playing with it. Other than that, I feel like 49 00:02:36,908 --> 00:02:39,708 Speaker 1: I'm in a good spot. I'm getting there. You know, 50 00:02:39,748 --> 00:02:41,908 Speaker 1: I've made it clear this whole time that it's been 51 00:02:41,948 --> 00:02:44,828 Speaker 1: something that I've been dealing with and getting there. Didn't 52 00:02:44,828 --> 00:02:48,908 Speaker 1: give us a number. I can't. He's getting better with time. 53 00:02:51,628 --> 00:02:53,828 Speaker 1: I feel like that's all we have right now is time, 54 00:02:53,908 --> 00:02:56,348 Speaker 1: and that's good for Jalen Hurts as we look ahead 55 00:02:56,348 --> 00:02:59,668 Speaker 1: to Super Bowl fifty seven. Ian Rappaport, great to see 56 00:02:59,708 --> 00:03:04,068 Speaker 1: you back from Mobile, Alabama. Your coverage was admirable there 57 00:03:04,428 --> 00:03:06,068 Speaker 1: and we're happy to you because we got to talk 58 00:03:06,068 --> 00:03:07,828 Speaker 1: about the Chiefs and some other players who are banged 59 00:03:07,868 --> 00:03:10,308 Speaker 1: up coming off the AFC Championship, what can you tell 60 00:03:10,388 --> 00:03:12,748 Speaker 1: us about some headline worthy names. Well, let's first of all, 61 00:03:12,828 --> 00:03:14,908 Speaker 1: let's start with those quarterbacks, because I think it's pretty 62 00:03:14,908 --> 00:03:17,268 Speaker 1: clear while both of these guys, Patrick Mahomes and Jalen 63 00:03:17,348 --> 00:03:19,428 Speaker 1: Hurts are going to play, neither of them are one 64 00:03:19,468 --> 00:03:21,228 Speaker 1: hundred percent. And then maybe there's not a ton of 65 00:03:21,228 --> 00:03:23,188 Speaker 1: players actually one hundred percent this time of year, but 66 00:03:23,228 --> 00:03:27,028 Speaker 1: at least these injuries bear watching. With Patrick Mahomes, sounds 67 00:03:27,068 --> 00:03:28,708 Speaker 1: like he came out of the game with a high 68 00:03:28,708 --> 00:03:32,348 Speaker 1: ankle sprain, pretty sure, but generally okay, and I expect 69 00:03:32,388 --> 00:03:35,068 Speaker 1: that that rehab that he's been doing over the course 70 00:03:35,068 --> 00:03:37,348 Speaker 1: of the last week will continue, probably right up until 71 00:03:37,348 --> 00:03:40,308 Speaker 1: game time, to make sure he is as loose as possible. 72 00:03:40,548 --> 00:03:42,828 Speaker 1: And with Jalen Hurts, he is still clearly not one 73 00:03:42,868 --> 00:03:45,548 Speaker 1: hundred percent, still battling through it, and he doesn't mind 74 00:03:45,628 --> 00:03:48,308 Speaker 1: letting us know. And I would say the key here 75 00:03:48,508 --> 00:03:50,348 Speaker 1: is going to be does he take a shot on 76 00:03:50,428 --> 00:03:53,428 Speaker 1: that right shoulder during the game. Is that something that 77 00:03:53,508 --> 00:03:55,868 Speaker 1: is reaggravated or can he throw as he's been throwing 78 00:03:55,908 --> 00:03:57,948 Speaker 1: I would say the last two weeks. But one of 79 00:03:57,948 --> 00:04:00,308 Speaker 1: the big names that seems may have be on track 80 00:04:00,348 --> 00:04:03,308 Speaker 1: to miss the Super Bowl, as McCole Hardman he's dealing 81 00:04:03,348 --> 00:04:06,548 Speaker 1: with a pelvic injury. Colleague Mike Carefold described it as 82 00:04:06,588 --> 00:04:10,028 Speaker 1: a core muscle injury. He's been out about six or 83 00:04:10,148 --> 00:04:12,508 Speaker 1: seven weeks during the season with this injury. Then we 84 00:04:12,548 --> 00:04:15,028 Speaker 1: thought he was good to go. He was designated to return, 85 00:04:15,148 --> 00:04:16,988 Speaker 1: came back a couple of weeks later, played in the 86 00:04:16,988 --> 00:04:19,708 Speaker 1: AFC Title Game, but could not make it through the game. 87 00:04:19,748 --> 00:04:22,828 Speaker 1: I believe just about fifteen plays was what he was 88 00:04:22,868 --> 00:04:25,148 Speaker 1: on the field for. Reid said he's a little bit 89 00:04:25,188 --> 00:04:27,628 Speaker 1: doubtful for the Super Bowl. He's still getting second to 90 00:04:28,028 --> 00:04:30,588 Speaker 1: his opinions to see somehow if he can get out there. 91 00:04:30,948 --> 00:04:33,628 Speaker 1: But it does not look very good for Mikole Harman 92 00:04:33,708 --> 00:04:36,508 Speaker 1: and the Chiefs. That's too bad. That is honestly too bad. 93 00:04:36,548 --> 00:04:38,788 Speaker 1: But if we know nothing else about this Chief's offense 94 00:04:38,908 --> 00:04:41,268 Speaker 1: is that someone else will step up in that spot 95 00:04:41,268 --> 00:04:43,708 Speaker 1: and Patrick Mahomes will lie on him. So Ian, thank 96 00:04:43,708 --> 00:04:44,868 Speaker 1: you very much. We'll talk to you a little bit 97 00:04:44,908 --> 00:04:46,468 Speaker 1: here in good Money football and there's plenty to get 98 00:04:46,468 --> 00:04:48,908 Speaker 1: to this morning. So last night in our group chat, 99 00:04:48,948 --> 00:04:51,148 Speaker 1: we were all having an absolute blast texting each other 100 00:04:51,188 --> 00:04:54,548 Speaker 1: about the Pro Bowl games from Vegas. The events were new. 101 00:04:54,788 --> 00:04:58,028 Speaker 1: It's a reimagined Pro Bowl experience, but you can tell 102 00:04:58,068 --> 00:05:00,868 Speaker 1: the players are into it. The guys are competitive, and 103 00:05:00,868 --> 00:05:02,708 Speaker 1: they're kind of good at everything they do in life. 104 00:05:02,708 --> 00:05:04,268 Speaker 1: I know, Peter, you kind of led the charge on this. 105 00:05:04,708 --> 00:05:06,988 Speaker 1: You're watching with your son Mel. Everyone was watching with 106 00:05:07,028 --> 00:05:08,828 Speaker 1: their kids. They're like, wait, this is fantastic. We totally 107 00:05:08,788 --> 00:05:10,948 Speaker 1: explain to him, what's going on. What's your favorite part 108 00:05:10,948 --> 00:05:14,068 Speaker 1: of last night? It's a reimagined Pro Bowl games? And 109 00:05:14,228 --> 00:05:17,228 Speaker 1: I tweeted out that, like I'm having a blast watching this, 110 00:05:17,428 --> 00:05:19,708 Speaker 1: and everyone's like, oh, you're just shilling for the NFL. 111 00:05:19,868 --> 00:05:22,548 Speaker 1: Like no, no, I loved this. It brought me back 112 00:05:22,588 --> 00:05:24,548 Speaker 1: to when I was a kid and I would watch 113 00:05:24,548 --> 00:05:27,748 Speaker 1: the slam Dunk contest and Dominique Wilkins go up against 114 00:05:27,748 --> 00:05:29,868 Speaker 1: Spud Webb and Michael Jordan and be like in my 115 00:05:29,908 --> 00:05:32,628 Speaker 1: pajamas watching me, like this is amazing, This is so cool. 116 00:05:32,828 --> 00:05:34,628 Speaker 1: This was last night. It was all these events and 117 00:05:34,668 --> 00:05:36,588 Speaker 1: I am not a golfer, but I am here for 118 00:05:36,668 --> 00:05:40,828 Speaker 1: anything that is competitive that involves big men. My favorite 119 00:05:40,828 --> 00:05:43,708 Speaker 1: thing was the long Drive contest, so you had players 120 00:05:43,708 --> 00:05:46,388 Speaker 1: from the AFC and NFC to Jay Hopkinson comes out 121 00:05:46,628 --> 00:05:50,228 Speaker 1: and look, Iowa guys Sean not sure how familiar Okay 122 00:05:50,268 --> 00:05:54,708 Speaker 1: this boy, and as Orlovsky is saying it, he ripped 123 00:05:54,748 --> 00:05:57,748 Speaker 1: it like Orlovsky's calling it like it's the final game 124 00:05:57,828 --> 00:06:01,748 Speaker 1: seven of the finals. Okay. So Howkinson sets it up 125 00:06:01,788 --> 00:06:05,348 Speaker 1: here and he's at three sixteen, all right, Jordan Poyer 126 00:06:05,428 --> 00:06:09,548 Speaker 1: gets introduced. Jordan Poyer introduced himself and names his country 127 00:06:09,548 --> 00:06:11,468 Speaker 1: club that he's a member, Evan, Florida. So it's like 128 00:06:11,508 --> 00:06:14,828 Speaker 1: this ultimate flex. He hits it and they reveal it 129 00:06:15,468 --> 00:06:18,028 Speaker 1: and it's three hundred and twenty yards. He wins by 130 00:06:18,148 --> 00:06:22,308 Speaker 1: four yards, and the AFC beats the NFC on the 131 00:06:22,428 --> 00:06:26,388 Speaker 1: Jordan Poyer long drive. I'm out of breath. I'm not 132 00:06:26,428 --> 00:06:29,228 Speaker 1: a golfer, I don't golf, but I'm here for the competition. 133 00:06:29,308 --> 00:06:31,468 Speaker 1: You have a three hundred and twenty yard drive versus 134 00:06:31,468 --> 00:06:34,068 Speaker 1: a three hundred and sixteen yard drive. Meanwhile, stuck in 135 00:06:34,108 --> 00:06:36,348 Speaker 1: there you Zadarius Smith whiffing and dron Payne hitting it 136 00:06:36,628 --> 00:06:38,948 Speaker 1: one yard right off to the side. Doing play by 137 00:06:38,948 --> 00:06:40,468 Speaker 1: play for that. It was more stressful for me than 138 00:06:40,508 --> 00:06:42,628 Speaker 1: any NFL highlight. I had to stop it. I couldn't. 139 00:06:42,908 --> 00:06:45,068 Speaker 1: I don't know how to. I'm trying. I'm like here following. 140 00:06:45,348 --> 00:06:47,988 Speaker 1: That's how it felt watching and my son is crying, laughing, 141 00:06:48,348 --> 00:06:50,868 Speaker 1: not a golfer himself, watching Zadarius Smith just whiff at 142 00:06:50,868 --> 00:06:53,828 Speaker 1: the ball like he is happy Gilmore at the driving 143 00:06:53,868 --> 00:06:57,348 Speaker 1: clay through a hockey stick or whatever else he had. Yeah, 144 00:06:57,348 --> 00:07:00,148 Speaker 1: I've played golf one time. I struggled to make contact. 145 00:07:00,228 --> 00:07:03,068 Speaker 1: Looked exactly like Zadarius Smith. What I loved as I'm 146 00:07:03,188 --> 00:07:05,988 Speaker 1: as we're watching it last with my kids. They're obviously 147 00:07:06,028 --> 00:07:08,308 Speaker 1: bumping into commercial or talk about what's coming up, and 148 00:07:08,308 --> 00:07:10,308 Speaker 1: it's like the longest drive. My son's like, Dad, what's 149 00:07:10,348 --> 00:07:12,148 Speaker 1: the longest drive. I'm like, you gotta wait and see. 150 00:07:12,188 --> 00:07:14,348 Speaker 1: Wait out to the commercial break, and they were just 151 00:07:14,428 --> 00:07:17,148 Speaker 1: so fired up. We're watching the precision passing first, and 152 00:07:17,268 --> 00:07:20,028 Speaker 1: each time the quarterback gets up, they're standing up in 153 00:07:20,068 --> 00:07:22,508 Speaker 1: front of the TV cheering for them, go for the droom, 154 00:07:22,708 --> 00:07:25,028 Speaker 1: go for the drool shot. And then the water balloon 155 00:07:25,068 --> 00:07:27,628 Speaker 1: toss comes on, and if you know kids and water 156 00:07:27,668 --> 00:07:30,428 Speaker 1: balloon toss, they're fired up because they're like, Dad, I 157 00:07:30,468 --> 00:07:32,548 Speaker 1: could do this, I could go out there. And what 158 00:07:32,668 --> 00:07:34,548 Speaker 1: I love is you see the big man out there, 159 00:07:34,548 --> 00:07:36,388 Speaker 1: and some of them made some nice catches, but I 160 00:07:36,428 --> 00:07:38,508 Speaker 1: loved when they didn't catch it. The biginner suppsed to 161 00:07:38,508 --> 00:07:41,388 Speaker 1: have bricks for hands, so it didn't matter who it was. 162 00:07:41,548 --> 00:07:43,228 Speaker 1: And then you put a receiver up there who can 163 00:07:43,348 --> 00:07:45,828 Speaker 1: catch a water balloon like that, half of the balloon 164 00:07:45,908 --> 00:07:48,668 Speaker 1: in his hand, the other half scraping against the turf. 165 00:07:48,868 --> 00:07:51,348 Speaker 1: But like Peter said, this was so exciting because it 166 00:07:51,468 --> 00:07:53,148 Speaker 1: was something that you could do as a family. You're 167 00:07:53,148 --> 00:07:55,508 Speaker 1: all sitting there. The kids ran upstairs, hurried up and 168 00:07:55,508 --> 00:07:57,828 Speaker 1: got in the bathroom, put the pajamas on, came back down, 169 00:07:57,908 --> 00:07:59,788 Speaker 1: and we just sat in front of the TV and 170 00:07:59,908 --> 00:08:02,468 Speaker 1: just watched the Pro Bowl game. So it was so exciting. 171 00:08:02,628 --> 00:08:05,428 Speaker 1: The water balloon toss was by far my favorite because 172 00:08:05,468 --> 00:08:07,308 Speaker 1: all three of my children were like, we can do 173 00:08:07,348 --> 00:08:09,228 Speaker 1: better than all of these guys out there doing it. 174 00:08:09,268 --> 00:08:10,468 Speaker 1: You know. I think we got to give credit to 175 00:08:10,508 --> 00:08:12,428 Speaker 1: the NFL here, right, Like how many times have you 176 00:08:12,468 --> 00:08:16,388 Speaker 1: heard or said, oh, the NFL stands for no fun league, right? 177 00:08:16,428 --> 00:08:18,228 Speaker 1: I mean? And that was like the Moniker for a 178 00:08:18,268 --> 00:08:20,268 Speaker 1: long time. The NFL is trying to make this fun, 179 00:08:20,308 --> 00:08:22,588 Speaker 1: and they're making it relatable to fans and the kids 180 00:08:22,588 --> 00:08:24,908 Speaker 1: now watching the water tooss and the golfers, or if 181 00:08:24,908 --> 00:08:26,548 Speaker 1: you're not a golfer, you're like, yeah, I could do that. 182 00:08:26,628 --> 00:08:29,348 Speaker 1: I love what you said, Shrigs about watching big guys 183 00:08:29,548 --> 00:08:33,228 Speaker 1: play golf. I think that the Pro Bowl Skills Challenge 184 00:08:33,268 --> 00:08:36,388 Speaker 1: and all these games, it's putting some players in unfamiliar 185 00:08:36,428 --> 00:08:38,348 Speaker 1: positions and just letting them kind of go and have 186 00:08:38,428 --> 00:08:41,068 Speaker 1: fun with it. They had offensive and defensive lineman catch 187 00:08:41,148 --> 00:08:43,988 Speaker 1: punts out of a jugs machine. And this is something 188 00:08:44,028 --> 00:08:46,988 Speaker 1: that sometimes some coaches will do after a practice and like, hey, 189 00:08:47,308 --> 00:08:49,188 Speaker 1: if the kicker or if it makes a feel about 190 00:08:49,228 --> 00:08:50,988 Speaker 1: you know, condition, or if somebody can catch a punt. 191 00:08:51,388 --> 00:08:54,228 Speaker 1: Trey Hendrickson didn't catch one punt, not two, not three, 192 00:08:54,268 --> 00:08:57,108 Speaker 1: because I believe not just four. Try Andrews and can 193 00:08:57,148 --> 00:08:58,948 Speaker 1: put it on a show right there for all d 194 00:08:59,108 --> 00:09:02,788 Speaker 1: and O lineman Zack Martin the first one's office shoulder, 195 00:09:02,908 --> 00:09:05,028 Speaker 1: j MC. I don't think he engaged the it's right there, 196 00:09:05,028 --> 00:09:07,068 Speaker 1: and it's the second one. All right, big fella, all right, 197 00:09:07,148 --> 00:09:11,108 Speaker 1: Jack Warton, perennial pro bowler off the shoulder. Probably he 198 00:09:11,228 --> 00:09:13,388 Speaker 1: kept running up on it that it's you know what 199 00:09:13,588 --> 00:09:15,908 Speaker 1: I love seeing that. I love seeing offensive line just 200 00:09:15,908 --> 00:09:20,348 Speaker 1: get out of their show, would you. I'm gonna call five. Yeah, yeah, yeah, 201 00:09:20,548 --> 00:09:22,508 Speaker 1: I got some skills. I'm not scared at myself. I'd 202 00:09:22,548 --> 00:09:24,308 Speaker 1: be more nervous about the long drive getting up on 203 00:09:24,348 --> 00:09:26,868 Speaker 1: a tea box and everybody's staring at you for he's 204 00:09:26,908 --> 00:09:29,908 Speaker 1: not catching five. I really appreciate you leaving a right 205 00:09:30,108 --> 00:09:32,988 Speaker 1: you guys leaving the dodge duck, dip divan dodge. Here 206 00:09:32,988 --> 00:09:35,748 Speaker 1: you go. Nailed. It's a dodge ball last night. Okay, 207 00:09:35,748 --> 00:09:38,308 Speaker 1: so again, we're all watching this with our kids. My 208 00:09:38,308 --> 00:09:40,588 Speaker 1: three year old is like, why are these why? Why 209 00:09:40,588 --> 00:09:42,268 Speaker 1: are they throwing the balls at each other. I'm like, 210 00:09:42,308 --> 00:09:44,148 Speaker 1: this is the game. This is why it's awesome. The 211 00:09:44,268 --> 00:09:47,348 Speaker 1: competition was awesome, this was controversial. Okay, this is what 212 00:09:47,388 --> 00:09:52,388 Speaker 1: I love. Davis Drill Sacon Barkley straight of dome shots, 213 00:09:52,548 --> 00:09:55,508 Speaker 1: straight in the face. So everyone freaks out on tomorrow's team. 214 00:09:55,548 --> 00:09:57,868 Speaker 1: He's like, you did you got it? Sakes like no, no no, no, 215 00:09:58,388 --> 00:10:01,508 Speaker 1: just give me the face man challenge so competitive. The 216 00:10:01,668 --> 00:10:04,148 Speaker 1: entire foight for Barkley's like no, no, no. They go 217 00:10:04,188 --> 00:10:06,788 Speaker 1: to the officials. Honestly, the officials are like I don't 218 00:10:06,788 --> 00:10:09,428 Speaker 1: know what's happening right now. What game are we even playing? 219 00:10:09,508 --> 00:10:12,468 Speaker 1: Everyone's shuffling through the papers to find the rules. This 220 00:10:12,508 --> 00:10:14,148 Speaker 1: is what I was watched on and I was like, hey, 221 00:10:14,228 --> 00:10:15,828 Speaker 1: I mean the face. You can't do that, dude, to 222 00:10:15,908 --> 00:10:21,788 Speaker 1: redo it. I'm obsessed. What do we have? Qualified? Okay, disqualified, disqualified, 223 00:10:21,788 --> 00:10:23,668 Speaker 1: But it was it was a set of three and 224 00:10:23,708 --> 00:10:25,508 Speaker 1: then you like they were playing to C. It was 225 00:10:25,548 --> 00:10:28,148 Speaker 1: AFC defense first NFC offense, and then they would switch sides, 226 00:10:28,188 --> 00:10:30,268 Speaker 1: and frankly, I think the podcast is a little bit confused. 227 00:10:30,468 --> 00:10:32,988 Speaker 1: I thought it was awesome because there's nothing more relatable, 228 00:10:33,068 --> 00:10:37,228 Speaker 1: whether it be Beer League softball, Frisbee gall dodgeball with 229 00:10:37,348 --> 00:10:41,148 Speaker 1: all pro players that when that true competitive nature, the 230 00:10:41,228 --> 00:10:43,548 Speaker 1: sweet feet out of Saquon Barkley last night should earn 231 00:10:43,628 --> 00:10:45,908 Speaker 1: him a lifetime contract with the New York Giants. I'm sorry, 232 00:10:45,948 --> 00:10:50,108 Speaker 1: Like he was like it unbelievable, Like Neo, can we 233 00:10:50,108 --> 00:10:52,268 Speaker 1: get there one event here at the NFL and not 234 00:10:52,388 --> 00:10:59,188 Speaker 1: have an officiating controversy? I mean, I know, right exactly. 235 00:10:59,348 --> 00:11:02,028 Speaker 1: It was amazing. We were obsessed and Kyle was there, 236 00:11:02,188 --> 00:11:04,668 Speaker 1: So Kyle, tell us what your favorite part was? Please? 237 00:11:04,708 --> 00:11:06,828 Speaker 1: Just like set the stage for us because we loved 238 00:11:06,868 --> 00:11:08,548 Speaker 1: watching it on TV last night. But you got to 239 00:11:08,548 --> 00:11:13,228 Speaker 1: be there. Yeah, we had a targeting violation. Da Mario Davis. Listen, 240 00:11:13,588 --> 00:11:16,508 Speaker 1: you're all over it because everyone is having so much 241 00:11:16,588 --> 00:11:19,068 Speaker 1: fun going through the water balloons and they're just like 242 00:11:19,148 --> 00:11:22,308 Speaker 1: little children. And you have great receivers like Terry McLaurin 243 00:11:22,388 --> 00:11:25,348 Speaker 1: standing next to Deon Dawkins trying to catch the ball. 244 00:11:25,628 --> 00:11:27,548 Speaker 1: They go through the punt catching thing with a linement. 245 00:11:27,548 --> 00:11:31,228 Speaker 1: It's hilarious. Golfing outstanding. A little background on that. Zadarius 246 00:11:31,228 --> 00:11:33,348 Speaker 1: Smith had never swung a golf club before in his life. 247 00:11:33,348 --> 00:11:36,308 Speaker 1: He never played around, he'd never been to the driving ridge. Nothing. 248 00:11:36,388 --> 00:11:37,748 Speaker 1: You had a couple of people who had to pull 249 00:11:37,748 --> 00:11:39,868 Speaker 1: out or couldn't make it, like Kyle Uschek was supposed 250 00:11:39,868 --> 00:11:41,908 Speaker 1: to be in that. He's a really good golfer, couldn't 251 00:11:41,908 --> 00:11:44,068 Speaker 1: make it in time. They needed bodies and they needed 252 00:11:44,068 --> 00:11:45,908 Speaker 1: guys will get at too. Is that just jumped in there. 253 00:11:46,028 --> 00:11:48,988 Speaker 1: But once the dodgeball started, I cannot tell you, the 254 00:11:48,988 --> 00:11:51,348 Speaker 1: tenor of the whole building changed and now it's like, 255 00:11:51,388 --> 00:11:53,468 Speaker 1: oh okay, now we gotta go. And I had a 256 00:11:53,468 --> 00:11:55,588 Speaker 1: funny experience where all the players are walking out, and 257 00:11:55,588 --> 00:11:57,508 Speaker 1: I said, there was so much love for Good Morning Football. 258 00:11:57,508 --> 00:11:59,188 Speaker 1: There really was. Two of the guys who were at 259 00:11:59,188 --> 00:12:01,708 Speaker 1: the head of that were Max Krisby and Josh Jacobs, 260 00:12:01,748 --> 00:12:04,388 Speaker 1: the two Raiders side by side. They walk out together 261 00:12:04,628 --> 00:12:07,148 Speaker 1: like the two young Raider stars. I got to talk 262 00:12:07,148 --> 00:12:08,868 Speaker 1: to him. I think they mostly talk to me because 263 00:12:08,868 --> 00:12:11,148 Speaker 1: they liked my jacket. But they were very cool, very 264 00:12:11,188 --> 00:12:13,348 Speaker 1: friendly and like best buds walking out on the field. 265 00:12:13,468 --> 00:12:16,588 Speaker 1: Then the second dodgeball starts, this happens. They happen to 266 00:12:16,628 --> 00:12:18,988 Speaker 1: be on other sides. It's an offense and defense thing. 267 00:12:19,068 --> 00:12:21,868 Speaker 1: We have Crosby here, Jackson, get out of here. Crosby 268 00:12:21,988 --> 00:12:24,588 Speaker 1: takes it right in the hip from his teammate that 269 00:12:24,628 --> 00:12:27,428 Speaker 1: he was just walking side by side with. It is 270 00:12:27,428 --> 00:12:31,868 Speaker 1: a cruel, relentless Lord of the Flies type battle out there. 271 00:12:31,908 --> 00:12:34,868 Speaker 1: As Minka and Miles Garrett watch, Crosby goes down in 272 00:12:34,908 --> 00:12:38,748 Speaker 1: flames from his own teammate from whence it came? That's dodgeball, guys, 273 00:12:40,948 --> 00:12:43,708 Speaker 1: well my favorite. That moment was unbelievable. And then in 274 00:12:43,748 --> 00:12:46,708 Speaker 1: the ESPA broadcast, I think it was Ryan Clark was like, 275 00:12:46,748 --> 00:12:49,468 Speaker 1: remember tomorrow of Davis is wearing cleats I was fell 276 00:12:49,508 --> 00:12:54,388 Speaker 1: off my chair and the glasses and these guys were equipped. 277 00:12:54,588 --> 00:12:57,068 Speaker 1: It was awesome. Kyle, We are so jealous. You got 278 00:12:57,068 --> 00:12:59,388 Speaker 1: to enjoy in person world. We're already that latter to 279 00:12:59,428 --> 00:13:00,708 Speaker 1: get there next year so we can make it a 280 00:13:00,748 --> 00:13:06,748 Speaker 1: party exactly, still a club. On the Morning Football, Hey, 281 00:13:06,868 --> 00:13:09,388 Speaker 1: here we go. Where's any Rodgers going playing football next year? 282 00:13:10,068 --> 00:13:13,228 Speaker 1: Could you get up again with this old buddy, Davante Adams. 283 00:13:13,348 --> 00:13:15,228 Speaker 1: I don't know, he knows where he's not gonna go, 284 00:13:15,388 --> 00:13:17,468 Speaker 1: and he talked about that. Julian Love came on the 285 00:13:17,468 --> 00:13:19,388 Speaker 1: show yesterday had some comments about the Eagles. Do you 286 00:13:19,388 --> 00:13:21,108 Speaker 1: know about the Eagles though they've got a bunch of 287 00:13:21,108 --> 00:13:23,308 Speaker 1: players you might not know all about. Is there a 288 00:13:23,388 --> 00:13:27,348 Speaker 1: leading rusher in the postseason? That's Kenneth Gainwell. Let's get 289 00:13:27,388 --> 00:13:29,188 Speaker 1: to know Kenneth Gainwell a little bit, or why I 290 00:13:29,188 --> 00:13:45,068 Speaker 1: should know him? Before Super Bowl. It's time for a 291 00:13:45,108 --> 00:13:47,948 Speaker 1: segment that we call get to Know. Tuesday on the show, 292 00:13:47,988 --> 00:13:52,708 Speaker 1: we did a deep dive on Chief's rookie corner Joshua Williams. Today, 293 00:13:52,828 --> 00:13:57,428 Speaker 1: Let's get to know the pride of Yazoo City, Mississippi, 294 00:13:58,108 --> 00:14:02,548 Speaker 1: Yazoo City. That's Eagles running back Kenneth Gainwell. You've seen 295 00:14:02,668 --> 00:14:05,508 Speaker 1: Kenneth Gainwell pick up big yard and make key plays 296 00:14:05,588 --> 00:14:09,308 Speaker 1: over the last two Eagles playoff wins. He's that running back, 297 00:14:09,348 --> 00:14:12,708 Speaker 1: and he's behind Miles Sanders, and he's with Boston Scott. 298 00:14:13,028 --> 00:14:18,228 Speaker 1: He's wearing that number fourteen who on a back breaking 299 00:14:18,348 --> 00:14:21,588 Speaker 1: run against the Giants. This was third and twelve game 300 00:14:21,588 --> 00:14:24,668 Speaker 1: on the line. This put the game away. Gainwell made 301 00:14:24,708 --> 00:14:27,508 Speaker 1: a name for himself in a national way, fighting for 302 00:14:27,548 --> 00:14:30,628 Speaker 1: that extra yard and putting the Giants away once and 303 00:14:30,668 --> 00:14:33,068 Speaker 1: for all in the second half. This guy's got pop, 304 00:14:33,348 --> 00:14:36,228 Speaker 1: he's got speed. He's also got a hell of a story. 305 00:14:36,708 --> 00:14:39,868 Speaker 1: You see. Gainwell was a dual threat quarterback in high school. 306 00:14:39,868 --> 00:14:42,028 Speaker 1: He started at QB for three years and had over 307 00:14:42,068 --> 00:14:45,348 Speaker 1: one hundred touchdowns in high school at Yazoo County High 308 00:14:45,388 --> 00:14:48,748 Speaker 1: School in Mississippi. There aren't a ton of NFL players 309 00:14:48,788 --> 00:14:52,668 Speaker 1: from Yazoo City, but there was one when Gainwell was 310 00:14:52,748 --> 00:14:55,748 Speaker 1: growing up and doing his thing on Friday nights. That's 311 00:14:55,788 --> 00:15:01,988 Speaker 1: his distant cousin, Fletcher Cox. Yeah, Fletcher Cox and Kenneth 312 00:15:02,028 --> 00:15:06,108 Speaker 1: Gainwell are cousins. They're both from Yazoo City, Mississippi, and 313 00:15:06,268 --> 00:15:10,508 Speaker 1: for Gainwell. He went from Yazoo County High to Memphis, 314 00:15:11,188 --> 00:15:13,908 Speaker 1: where he moved from quarterback to running back and planned 315 00:15:13,908 --> 00:15:17,788 Speaker 1: to do the big things alongside fellow running backs at 316 00:15:17,828 --> 00:15:23,748 Speaker 1: Memphis Antonio Gibson, Darryl Henderson, and Tony Pollard. Think about 317 00:15:23,788 --> 00:15:27,388 Speaker 1: that backfield. In twenty nineteen, he finally got his shot 318 00:15:27,428 --> 00:15:30,468 Speaker 1: at Memphis, and he dominated. He had fifteen hundred rushing yards, 319 00:15:30,468 --> 00:15:33,708 Speaker 1: he had thirteen touchdowns, He'd over six hundred receiving yards, 320 00:15:33,708 --> 00:15:35,708 Speaker 1: and he was ready to go big. In twenty twenty, 321 00:15:36,668 --> 00:15:40,068 Speaker 1: that's when the pandemic hit and the Gainwell family was 322 00:15:40,068 --> 00:15:44,628 Speaker 1: tragically impacted. Four members of the Gainwell family died from 323 00:15:44,628 --> 00:15:47,908 Speaker 1: COVID nineteen and the risks associated with the virus that 324 00:15:47,948 --> 00:15:50,588 Speaker 1: played a role in Kenneth's decision to not take part 325 00:15:50,708 --> 00:15:53,748 Speaker 1: in the twenty twenty season. There were many dark days 326 00:15:53,868 --> 00:15:56,428 Speaker 1: during that year and he's spoken on it. But in 327 00:15:56,468 --> 00:15:59,028 Speaker 1: twenty twenty one, with the Eagles on the clock with 328 00:15:59,068 --> 00:16:02,388 Speaker 1: one hundred fiftieth pick in the NFL Draft, this phone 329 00:16:02,428 --> 00:16:04,828 Speaker 1: call happened and all was good for at least a 330 00:16:04,828 --> 00:16:07,188 Speaker 1: little bit.

The former quarterback 350 00:17:13,948 --> 00:17:17,508 Speaker 1: from Yazoo City, who has suffered tragedy, who had to 351 00:17:17,548 --> 00:17:20,108 Speaker 1: wait and miss an entire year of football because of 352 00:17:20,508 --> 00:17:23,788 Speaker 1: health concerns that he was truly concerned about. Well, this 353 00:17:23,828 --> 00:17:27,228 Speaker 1: guy's ready to burst onto the scene Super Bowl Sunday. 354 00:17:27,908 --> 00:17:31,388 Speaker 1: Not bad for a kid from a town of just 355 00:17:31,628 --> 00:17:37,628 Speaker 1: ten thousand people Yazoo City, Mississippi. Guys, Kenneth Gainwell, everyone's 356 00:17:37,628 --> 00:17:41,548 Speaker 1: got a story. His is both inspiring, tragic, and yet 357 00:17:41,628 --> 00:17:43,588 Speaker 1: here he is at the top of his game in 358 00:17:43,628 --> 00:17:46,308 Speaker 1: the biggest game of his life. Jason, what do you 359 00:17:46,348 --> 00:17:47,908 Speaker 1: think of the story that this guy brings with him 360 00:17:47,908 --> 00:17:49,948 Speaker 1: to Super Bowl Sunday? You know me, I'm all about 361 00:17:49,948 --> 00:17:52,148 Speaker 1: the journey and the process and what it takes to 362 00:17:52,188 --> 00:17:54,468 Speaker 1: get that finished product that we get a chance to 363 00:17:54,508 --> 00:17:57,788 Speaker 1: celebrate and enjoy on any given Sunday. So to hear 364 00:17:57,908 --> 00:18:00,988 Speaker 1: him and Fletcher Cox, a city of ten thousand people, 365 00:18:01,268 --> 00:18:04,708 Speaker 1: are both in the NFL on the Philadelphia Eagles, just 366 00:18:04,788 --> 00:18:07,228 Speaker 1: hearing what he went through in twenty twenty to be drafted. 367 00:18:07,548 --> 00:18:09,428 Speaker 1: Not only would that meant for him, but what it 368 00:18:09,468 --> 00:18:11,868 Speaker 1: meant for his entire family to be able to see 369 00:18:11,908 --> 00:18:14,348 Speaker 1: that and experience that. I'm a little bit more excited 370 00:18:14,388 --> 00:18:16,628 Speaker 1: to watch him come Super Bowl Sunday. I'm so sorry 371 00:18:16,788 --> 00:18:19,308 Speaker 1: that that family had to experience that over that short 372 00:18:19,308 --> 00:18:21,548 Speaker 1: amount of time, and for that young man to have 373 00:18:21,588 --> 00:18:24,468 Speaker 1: to have the patience in a life where I think 374 00:18:24,508 --> 00:18:26,948 Speaker 1: anyone that is told at that level of football, you 375 00:18:27,028 --> 00:18:28,748 Speaker 1: gotta go, you gotta go, you gotta work, You're gonna 376 00:18:28,748 --> 00:18:30,988 Speaker 1: make it for him to press pause and have like 377 00:18:31,028 --> 00:18:33,508 Speaker 1: faith in the system and in his talent that now 378 00:18:33,508 --> 00:18:36,388 Speaker 1: he is getting that reward on the back end. That's awesome. Yeah, 379 00:18:36,428 --> 00:18:38,028 Speaker 1: you guys did a great job button all that up. 380 00:18:38,068 --> 00:18:40,748 Speaker 1: Shag's great job with the story. And for a young kid, 381 00:18:40,828 --> 00:18:42,628 Speaker 1: think about at that age to have to sit out 382 00:18:42,628 --> 00:18:44,148 Speaker 1: a season. It's hard enough if you have to sit 383 00:18:44,148 --> 00:18:46,308 Speaker 1: out because you got hurt, but because you've lost some 384 00:18:46,348 --> 00:18:49,148 Speaker 1: family members and your family needs you to help out. 385 00:18:49,268 --> 00:18:51,628 Speaker 1: All I could say is Yazoo City. If the Eagles 386 00:18:51,628 --> 00:18:53,588 Speaker 1: going to win the Super Bowl, the parade, it's going 387 00:18:53,668 --> 00:18:56,708 Speaker 1: to be in that city with Fletcher and Gainwell, that's 388 00:18:56,748 --> 00:18:59,148 Speaker 1: gonna be an awesome moment. I hope that they get 389 00:18:59,148 --> 00:19:01,628 Speaker 1: to Yazoo City, Mississippi. I all had this. This guy 390 00:19:01,668 --> 00:19:03,828 Speaker 1: had fifteen hundred yards and he was going into being 391 00:19:03,868 --> 00:19:06,068 Speaker 1: the biggest season of his career, and he was told 392 00:19:06,148 --> 00:19:08,508 Speaker 1: probably shouldn't be playing. And Jamie to your point to 393 00:19:08,548 --> 00:19:11,508 Speaker 1: sit take that news and just be patient, trust the process, 394 00:19:11,628 --> 00:19:14,068 Speaker 1: enter the draft, still get drafted, and still have this opportunity. 395 00:19:14,108 --> 00:19:16,468 Speaker 1: I think so many people around the world and in 396 00:19:16,508 --> 00:19:19,068 Speaker 1: our country lost a lot in twenty twenty and we're 397 00:19:19,068 --> 00:19:20,868 Speaker 1: still recovering from it. I don't know if he's ever 398 00:19:20,868 --> 00:19:23,108 Speaker 1: going to truly heal from losing four family members, but 399 00:19:23,188 --> 00:19:25,268 Speaker 1: I do think that the Super Bowl is an opportunity 400 00:19:25,268 --> 00:19:27,428 Speaker 1: to finally emerge and say, you know what, in the end, 401 00:19:27,508 --> 00:19:29,068 Speaker 1: there's at least some light at the end of the time. 402 00:19:29,908 --> 00:19:33,028 Speaker 1: One month ago, during Monday Night football, millions of viewers 403 00:19:33,068 --> 00:19:36,228 Speaker 1: watched as medical staff rushed to mar Hamlin's side an 404 00:19:36,268 --> 00:19:40,628 Speaker 1: administered CPR that helped save his life, sparking a national 405 00:19:40,708 --> 00:19:45,428 Speaker 1: conversation about emergency preparedness in sports and in society. He's 406 00:19:45,468 --> 00:19:48,348 Speaker 1: had an inspiring recovery, one that we have all loved 407 00:19:48,388 --> 00:19:50,388 Speaker 1: watching unfold right in front of our eyes, and this 408 00:19:50,428 --> 00:19:54,108 Speaker 1: week Hamlin kicked off a viral social media campaign encouraging 409 00:19:54,108 --> 00:19:57,228 Speaker 1: everyone to learn how to save a life with hands 410 00:19:57,308 --> 00:20:00,308 Speaker 1: only CPR. It's part of a larger effort to promote 411 00:20:00,348 --> 00:20:04,028 Speaker 1: CPR education and improve safety for young athletes. So when 412 00:20:04,028 --> 00:20:06,908 Speaker 1: the time comes, you already so joining us to talk 413 00:20:06,948 --> 00:20:09,028 Speaker 1: about that today is our friends, of course, Jeff Miller, 414 00:20:09,108 --> 00:20:12,188 Speaker 1: NFL executive vice president overseeing player health and Safety, and 415 00:20:12,348 --> 00:20:18,468 Speaker 1: Nancy Brown, CEO of the American Heart Association. You're gonna 416 00:20:18,468 --> 00:20:20,868 Speaker 1: tell us more about this life saving work that not 417 00:20:20,908 --> 00:20:22,748 Speaker 1: only the partnership that this is going to bring, but 418 00:20:22,868 --> 00:20:24,708 Speaker 1: why you're both here. So, Jeff, we've heard the league 419 00:20:24,748 --> 00:20:27,868 Speaker 1: talk about its commitment to supporting CPR education, making sure 420 00:20:28,028 --> 00:20:31,468 Speaker 1: those involved in youth sports are prepared to respond in emergencies. 421 00:20:31,788 --> 00:20:34,348 Speaker 1: Why are these issues so important to the NFL? Because 422 00:20:34,348 --> 00:20:35,788 Speaker 1: you're here a lot, but this is the first time 423 00:20:35,828 --> 00:20:38,308 Speaker 1: we're having this topical conversation. No, No, thrilled to be 424 00:20:38,348 --> 00:20:39,948 Speaker 1: here too, and thrilled to be here with the AHA 425 00:20:39,948 --> 00:20:42,708 Speaker 1: and with Nancy. Look, when big incidents like this occur 426 00:20:42,788 --> 00:20:45,908 Speaker 1: with damar or people are watching, we have a platform. 427 00:20:45,908 --> 00:20:47,708 Speaker 1: The league is lucky to have so many viewers, and 428 00:20:47,708 --> 00:20:49,908 Speaker 1: it's an opportunity to educate and we've done this in 429 00:20:49,908 --> 00:20:52,228 Speaker 1: a variety of different areas and now it's an opportunity 430 00:20:52,228 --> 00:20:55,068 Speaker 1: to do it with cardiac issues. Look, there are more 431 00:20:55,068 --> 00:20:58,148 Speaker 1: than one hundred cardiac issues involving youth athletes every year, 432 00:20:58,268 --> 00:21:01,068 Speaker 1: so this isn't unknown. And as I learned recently, only 433 00:21:01,108 --> 00:21:04,108 Speaker 1: sixteen percent of high schools even have ad machines. So look, 434 00:21:04,148 --> 00:21:07,588 Speaker 1: there is a great opportunity to preserve youth sports, youth 435 00:21:07,748 --> 00:21:10,828 Speaker 1: athletes across all sports, not just football. But we have 436 00:21:10,948 --> 00:21:13,308 Speaker 1: to have the professionals, and they have to have the experience, 437 00:21:13,348 --> 00:21:14,988 Speaker 1: and they have to have the equipment to be able 438 00:21:15,028 --> 00:21:16,628 Speaker 1: to do it. And when they do and when they're ready, 439 00:21:16,708 --> 00:21:18,788 Speaker 1: there's good results. And so that's why we can use 440 00:21:18,788 --> 00:21:21,388 Speaker 1: our platform to help educate people on this topic. Yeah, 441 00:21:21,388 --> 00:21:24,708 Speaker 1: for sure. And Nancy, we saw with damar situation, medical 442 00:21:24,748 --> 00:21:27,828 Speaker 1: professionals they jumped right in and knew what to do. 443 00:21:27,908 --> 00:21:30,148 Speaker 1: But why is it important for not just them, but 444 00:21:30,268 --> 00:21:33,108 Speaker 1: for everyone to know how to administer CPR. Well, thank 445 00:21:33,148 --> 00:21:35,988 Speaker 1: you so much for asking that really important question. You're 446 00:21:36,028 --> 00:21:40,468 Speaker 1: exactly right damar situation. Urgently, people rushed on the field 447 00:21:40,468 --> 00:21:43,148 Speaker 1: that we're trained in CPR and defibrillation and they were 448 00:21:43,188 --> 00:21:46,188 Speaker 1: able to resuscitate him. And that is what we wish 449 00:21:46,228 --> 00:21:48,788 Speaker 1: for every person in this country who might suffer a 450 00:21:48,828 --> 00:21:52,988 Speaker 1: cardiac arrest. And here's the deal. Three hundred and fifty 451 00:21:53,148 --> 00:21:56,868 Speaker 1: thousand people a year in the United States suffer an 452 00:21:56,988 --> 00:22:01,148 Speaker 1: out of hospital cardiac arrest, and fewer than ten percent 453 00:22:01,228 --> 00:22:04,908 Speaker 1: of them survive. And so we must create a nation 454 00:22:04,948 --> 00:22:07,828 Speaker 1: of life savers and make sure that all of us 455 00:22:08,148 --> 00:22:11,068 Speaker 1: could jump into action and save someone's life if we 456 00:22:11,308 --> 00:22:14,828 Speaker 1: needed to. The most important thing to know is that 457 00:22:15,108 --> 00:22:18,148 Speaker 1: when someone suffers an out of hospital cardiac arrest, where 458 00:22:18,228 --> 00:22:20,788 Speaker 1: is that. It's in a home, it's in a school, 459 00:22:21,068 --> 00:22:24,148 Speaker 1: it's in a workplace, it's in a shopping mall, it's 460 00:22:24,148 --> 00:22:27,628 Speaker 1: on a sports field, and so we need to make 461 00:22:27,628 --> 00:22:30,188 Speaker 1: sure that we are equipping people to be able to 462 00:22:30,228 --> 00:22:32,948 Speaker 1: save the other ninety percent. Yeah, if we had had 463 00:22:32,988 --> 00:22:35,348 Speaker 1: Brandon Bean on my podcast right afterwards, and he said, 464 00:22:35,388 --> 00:22:38,068 Speaker 1: the most amazing thing was that every level of the 465 00:22:38,148 --> 00:22:42,028 Speaker 1: organization had their best day that day to help DeMar Hamlin. 466 00:22:42,108 --> 00:22:45,908 Speaker 1: Where the training staff, the equipment staff, everybody had to 467 00:22:45,908 --> 00:22:48,268 Speaker 1: come and be called into action. The NFL is the 468 00:22:48,308 --> 00:22:50,788 Speaker 1: best of the best, and we've got these resources for 469 00:22:50,908 --> 00:22:53,348 Speaker 1: leagues that might not have these resources. What were some 470 00:22:53,428 --> 00:22:55,868 Speaker 1: lessons that you guys learned that you can share to 471 00:22:55,948 --> 00:22:57,668 Speaker 1: others and say, hey, we know that you might not 472 00:22:57,668 --> 00:22:59,348 Speaker 1: be able to have a machine at every building, but 473 00:22:59,428 --> 00:23:01,148 Speaker 1: here's what you can do, and here's what we've learned 474 00:23:01,148 --> 00:23:04,108 Speaker 1: from this situation. Yeah, it's a great question because everybody 475 00:23:04,548 --> 00:23:06,308 Speaker 1: to realize in that moment that we have more than 476 00:23:06,348 --> 00:23:09,428 Speaker 1: thirty medical professionals at every game. They are trained, it's 477 00:23:09,468 --> 00:23:12,228 Speaker 1: no surprise that they did well. As extraordinary as those 478 00:23:12,228 --> 00:23:14,188 Speaker 1: people are, and they have all the equipment necessary to 479 00:23:14,228 --> 00:23:17,188 Speaker 1: do it. But my son's lacrosse game is not the 480 00:23:17,228 --> 00:23:19,988 Speaker 1: same as an NFL field, and yet the coach or 481 00:23:19,988 --> 00:23:22,548 Speaker 1: the administrator only really needs to know about three things head, 482 00:23:22,588 --> 00:23:25,548 Speaker 1: heart and heat. Three h that's it. Be educated in 483 00:23:25,588 --> 00:23:28,628 Speaker 1: those three areas. Have a plan so if something were 484 00:23:28,668 --> 00:23:30,268 Speaker 1: to happen, you know what to do and who is 485 00:23:30,308 --> 00:23:32,668 Speaker 1: going to do it. Have the AD or other machine. 486 00:23:32,668 --> 00:23:35,948 Speaker 1: They're necessary if an emergency arose, and you will be fine. 487 00:23:36,028 --> 00:23:38,228 Speaker 1: And so my message always to parents has been ask 488 00:23:38,268 --> 00:23:40,948 Speaker 1: your coach, ask another parent who is going to be there, 489 00:23:41,108 --> 00:23:43,508 Speaker 1: what happens if and if they have a plan, If 490 00:23:43,508 --> 00:23:45,188 Speaker 1: that league has a plan, if that team has a plan, 491 00:23:45,308 --> 00:23:47,708 Speaker 1: you're great. Send your kid out there, enjoy the values 492 00:23:47,748 --> 00:23:50,188 Speaker 1: that come with sports, but make sure those three are 493 00:23:50,228 --> 00:23:53,348 Speaker 1: accounted for and then everything is good to go head heart, Yes, 494 00:23:53,748 --> 00:23:55,268 Speaker 1: and Jeff, can I just add on. I think it's 495 00:23:55,308 --> 00:23:58,188 Speaker 1: really important to know that a defibrillator alone, of course, 496 00:23:58,268 --> 00:24:01,028 Speaker 1: is so important to have on site in many places, 497 00:24:01,148 --> 00:24:04,268 Speaker 1: especially in sports leagues, but you have to start administer 498 00:24:04,508 --> 00:24:07,308 Speaker 1: CPR before you can defibrillate someone, and so we need 499 00:24:07,348 --> 00:24:10,468 Speaker 1: to both know CPR and be prepared with an on 500 00:24:10,548 --> 00:24:13,588 Speaker 1: site defibrillator. Right, it can take some time for that thing, 501 00:24:13,868 --> 00:24:16,268 Speaker 1: the machine to be ready correct. Well, you know, the 502 00:24:16,268 --> 00:24:19,588 Speaker 1: defibrillators you work very quickly, but you have to start 503 00:24:19,628 --> 00:24:22,468 Speaker 1: CPR first. And you know, if you're a bystander and 504 00:24:22,588 --> 00:24:24,868 Speaker 1: you see someone having a cardiac arrest, the first thing 505 00:24:24,868 --> 00:24:26,828 Speaker 1: you need to do. You get someone to call nine 506 00:24:26,948 --> 00:24:29,868 Speaker 1: one one, and then you start beating hard and fast 507 00:24:29,988 --> 00:24:32,948 Speaker 1: on the chest to the tune of the song Staying Alive. 508 00:24:33,028 --> 00:24:34,948 Speaker 1: For those of us who remember that that has one 509 00:24:35,028 --> 00:24:37,388 Speaker 1: hundred and ten beats a minute, which are the number 510 00:24:37,428 --> 00:24:41,508 Speaker 1: of beats that you need to do to administer effective CPR. 511 00:24:41,708 --> 00:24:45,748 Speaker 1: And for every minute a person doesn't have CPR administered, 512 00:24:45,748 --> 00:24:49,668 Speaker 1: their chance of survival goes down by ten percent. And 513 00:24:49,748 --> 00:24:52,428 Speaker 1: so it's really important and This is really the basis 514 00:24:52,508 --> 00:24:56,748 Speaker 1: of DeMar's campaign is it's easy to learn hands only CPR. 515 00:24:57,148 --> 00:24:59,788 Speaker 1: You know, go to Heart dot org slash three and 516 00:24:59,988 --> 00:25:02,868 Speaker 1: all of our hands only CPR resources are right there 517 00:25:03,148 --> 00:25:05,948 Speaker 1: available for people to learn. Or if you're if you're 518 00:25:05,948 --> 00:25:08,068 Speaker 1: in Phoenix next week that's Super Bowl, Yeah, go to 519 00:25:08,188 --> 00:25:12,148 Speaker 1: NFL Experience right find the American Heart Associations booth and 520 00:25:12,468 --> 00:25:16,148 Speaker 1: as I will do learn with us about CPR. Yes, Nancy, 521 00:25:16,348 --> 00:25:18,468 Speaker 1: I always like to put it into layman terms because 522 00:25:18,468 --> 00:25:21,268 Speaker 1: like we say words like defibrillator or like the actual 523 00:25:21,468 --> 00:25:23,548 Speaker 1: act of like hands on. I haven't had trading in 524 00:25:23,548 --> 00:25:25,108 Speaker 1: a couple of years since my kids are inborn. But 525 00:25:25,188 --> 00:25:27,828 Speaker 1: is it thirty to two? Still? Is it thirty beats? 526 00:25:28,028 --> 00:25:30,348 Speaker 1: And then you do two breaths? Because I think just 527 00:25:30,748 --> 00:25:33,508 Speaker 1: in a moment like that, it's high stress and people 528 00:25:33,668 --> 00:25:36,028 Speaker 1: around you are panicking. I think to put it in 529 00:25:36,148 --> 00:25:39,188 Speaker 1: simple form for somebody when it's your time to be 530 00:25:39,228 --> 00:25:42,228 Speaker 1: strung into action. You just said the stay it alive. 531 00:25:42,468 --> 00:25:44,828 Speaker 1: What's the kind of the simplest way you can put 532 00:25:44,868 --> 00:25:46,428 Speaker 1: it in ten seconds so that if this sort of 533 00:25:46,468 --> 00:25:49,108 Speaker 1: happened to somebody, you're like a simple message, what can 534 00:25:49,148 --> 00:25:51,988 Speaker 1: I put forth here. Yes, if you have someone who's 535 00:25:52,028 --> 00:25:55,228 Speaker 1: not an infant that collapses in front of you, the 536 00:25:55,308 --> 00:25:59,188 Speaker 1: breaths are not as important to science show, So hands 537 00:25:59,268 --> 00:26:02,148 Speaker 1: only it really means hands only what I would say, laymanster, 538 00:26:02,468 --> 00:26:04,988 Speaker 1: beat hard and fast on the chest to the tune 539 00:26:05,028 --> 00:26:08,948 Speaker 1: of the songs Staying Alive, and call nine one, beat 540 00:26:08,948 --> 00:26:10,828 Speaker 1: hard and fast on the chest to the tune of 541 00:26:10,828 --> 00:26:15,268 Speaker 1: the songs staying alive until professional emergency help arrives. Jeff, 542 00:26:15,308 --> 00:26:17,228 Speaker 1: you must be really proud of this new partnership. I 543 00:26:17,228 --> 00:26:19,228 Speaker 1: know you've just said, you guys first time working together. 544 00:26:19,308 --> 00:26:20,708 Speaker 1: But what else can we look forward to with the 545 00:26:20,788 --> 00:26:23,388 Speaker 1: NFL and with Super Bowl Week? But also and beyond, yeah, 546 00:26:23,548 --> 00:26:25,628 Speaker 1: I mentioned NFL experience.

And somewhere down the road, somebody's going 553 00:26:37,108 --> 00:26:39,188 Speaker 1: to save a life might not be on an athletic field, 554 00:26:39,308 --> 00:26:41,348 Speaker 1: might be just in you know, everyday life, but this 555 00:26:41,428 --> 00:26:43,988 Speaker 1: is a long term partnership, will be a longer term partnership, 556 00:26:43,988 --> 00:26:46,308 Speaker 1: and really proud has a traumatic event for all of us. 557 00:26:46,388 --> 00:26:48,028 Speaker 1: But if there's a good to come from it, it's 558 00:26:48,028 --> 00:26:50,468 Speaker 1: this partnership here and then there's a silver lining that hey, 559 00:26:50,588 --> 00:26:52,868 Speaker 1: maybe that we can always be equipped with the knowledge 560 00:26:52,908 --> 00:26:55,148 Speaker 1: so that it never happens again, said Jeff Miller and 561 00:26:55,188 --> 00:26:57,148 Speaker 1: Nancy Brown.

But 581 00:28:07,788 --> 00:28:09,348 Speaker 1: I think it goes back to a couple of things. 582 00:28:09,348 --> 00:28:11,988 Speaker 1: We've been in Mobile, you know now for seventy three 583 00:28:12,028 --> 00:28:14,428 Speaker 1: of the seventy four years. It actually started the first 584 00:28:14,508 --> 00:28:17,228 Speaker 1: year in Jacksonville. But so a lot of history behind 585 00:28:17,228 --> 00:28:19,388 Speaker 1: this game. It's been here, you know, the whole time. 586 00:28:19,428 --> 00:28:21,468 Speaker 1: The other All Star games that booting around we've been 587 00:28:21,468 --> 00:28:24,548 Speaker 1: in Mobile. We've got incredible community support. This game is 588 00:28:24,588 --> 00:28:27,148 Speaker 1: really the part of the fabric of the Mobile community. 589 00:28:27,308 --> 00:28:30,068 Speaker 1: Brings a huge economic impact and with that, we have 590 00:28:30,108 --> 00:28:32,308 Speaker 1: a volunteer group of who were four hundred people that 591 00:28:32,628 --> 00:28:35,028 Speaker 1: come in and support this game on an early basis, 592 00:28:35,028 --> 00:28:37,108 Speaker 1: and we've got some guys that were back for the practice. 593 00:28:37,108 --> 00:28:40,708 Speaker 1: We'd like Joe Staley, Willie Anderson, you know, Steve Hutchinson, 594 00:28:40,748 --> 00:28:43,148 Speaker 1: guys have played the game twenty years ago, and our 595 00:28:43,188 --> 00:28:46,108 Speaker 1: main support staff is all still in place, so they 596 00:28:46,228 --> 00:28:48,388 Speaker 1: recognized a lot of faces when they came back.

Well, 607 00:29:14,908 --> 00:29:17,868 Speaker 1: here's the little known facts. No one watches the practice 608 00:29:17,908 --> 00:29:20,788 Speaker 1: field less during the week, probably than me because I'm 609 00:29:21,348 --> 00:29:24,908 Speaker 1: walking around, you know, welcoming the NFL scouts and gms 610 00:29:24,948 --> 00:29:26,988 Speaker 1: and coaches down here are the college coaches that come 611 00:29:26,988 --> 00:29:28,708 Speaker 1: into our practice, So I don't get to pay a 612 00:29:28,708 --> 00:29:30,828 Speaker 1: lot of attention to what's going on the field, But 613 00:29:31,068 --> 00:29:33,108 Speaker 1: on a nightly basis, I do hit up a lot 614 00:29:33,108 --> 00:29:34,948 Speaker 1: of guys in the NFL where I stopped by our 615 00:29:34,988 --> 00:29:37,428 Speaker 1: player interview area where the thirty two teams are meeting 616 00:29:37,468 --> 00:29:39,108 Speaker 1: with our guys and just kind of get a daily 617 00:29:39,148 --> 00:29:41,228 Speaker 1: recap of who stood out from a bunch of guys 618 00:29:41,228 --> 00:29:42,828 Speaker 1: that I trusted, I was in the league with for 619 00:29:42,868 --> 00:29:44,868 Speaker 1: a long time. And there's been a number of guys 620 00:29:44,908 --> 00:29:47,308 Speaker 1: you can start on the defensive side, like Keyon White 621 00:29:47,388 --> 00:29:50,588 Speaker 1: offered Georgia Tech, the defensive ent who Daniel Jeremiah's got him. 622 00:29:50,628 --> 00:29:52,348 Speaker 1: DJ's got him is like the eighth player in the 623 00:29:52,428 --> 00:29:54,988 Speaker 1: draft right now. He had a great week. Will McDonald 624 00:29:54,988 --> 00:29:57,108 Speaker 1: the past rusher for Mayowa State. And then on the 625 00:29:57,108 --> 00:29:59,588 Speaker 1: offensive side, a bunch of guys stood out, but the 626 00:29:59,668 --> 00:30:03,188 Speaker 1: offensive line crew from this game usually really gets taken high, 627 00:30:03,188 --> 00:30:05,268 Speaker 1: and there's four or five that are probably gonna go 628 00:30:05,268 --> 00:30:07,108 Speaker 1: in the first route. Now after the week you start 629 00:30:07,108 --> 00:30:10,148 Speaker 1: with you, Cody Mount from North Dakota State kinda was 630 00:30:10,188 --> 00:30:12,548 Speaker 1: the talk of the week with the flowing red locks. 631 00:30:12,628 --> 00:30:14,308 Speaker 1: You know, guy kind of looks like a biking. He's 632 00:30:14,348 --> 00:30:16,548 Speaker 1: got his two front teeth knocked out. But then Duan 633 00:30:16,668 --> 00:30:19,588 Speaker 1: Jones from Ohio State Darnell Right from Tennessee. I think 634 00:30:19,628 --> 00:30:21,468 Speaker 1: those two guys are going to be jockey to be 635 00:30:21,508 --> 00:30:24,028 Speaker 1: the first right tackle taken in this year's draft. So 636 00:30:24,228 --> 00:30:26,708 Speaker 1: big week for a bunch of position groups. Jim, If 637 00:30:26,748 --> 00:30:28,788 Speaker 1: the folks at home don't know, I mean eighteen years 638 00:30:28,868 --> 00:30:30,948 Speaker 1: is a scout in the NFL, built champions with the 639 00:30:30,948 --> 00:30:33,868 Speaker 1: Patriots and the Seahawks. You've got your credentials. So when 640 00:30:33,908 --> 00:30:36,428 Speaker 1: you guys are putting these players on the field, you 641 00:30:36,468 --> 00:30:38,468 Speaker 1: know that it's not just going to be Alabama and 642 00:30:38,548 --> 00:30:41,668 Speaker 1: Ohio State. They're going to be small school players that 643 00:30:41,748 --> 00:30:43,588 Speaker 1: have to make a name for themselves and do so 644 00:30:43,788 --> 00:30:46,468 Speaker 1: during Senior Bowl practices. The last few years, we've seen 645 00:30:46,548 --> 00:30:49,988 Speaker 1: Christian Watson, Cole Strange, Big Trevor Penning all go in 646 00:30:49,988 --> 00:30:52,628 Speaker 1: the top thirty five in the draft. All big guys 647 00:30:52,628 --> 00:30:55,948 Speaker 1: who excelled at your bowl. What small school players should 648 00:30:55,988 --> 00:30:58,788 Speaker 1: be watching for on Saturday. That's a big part of 649 00:30:59,188 --> 00:31:01,588 Speaker 1: Senior Bowl Week, right, is bringing in those small school 650 00:31:01,628 --> 00:31:04,188 Speaker 1: guys and giving them the platform. That's really the final 651 00:31:04,668 --> 00:31:06,708 Speaker 1: they need to check. He watched the tape and their 652 00:31:06,748 --> 00:31:09,268 Speaker 1: dominant players at their level. For us, the key thing 653 00:31:09,348 --> 00:31:11,428 Speaker 1: is bringing in the right small school players, and I 654 00:31:11,508 --> 00:31:12,988 Speaker 1: feel like we've done a pretty good job of that. 655 00:31:13,028 --> 00:31:15,268 Speaker 1: The last four years. You name three of those guys 656 00:31:15,268 --> 00:31:18,188 Speaker 1: from last year. One guy in particular this week that 657 00:31:18,268 --> 00:31:20,188 Speaker 1: really stood out, and he was a late call up 658 00:31:20,228 --> 00:31:23,108 Speaker 1: from the NFLPA game. I mean that's Marte Mapu from 659 00:31:23,148 --> 00:31:26,388 Speaker 1: Sacramento State. This guy. We called him up last Thursday, 660 00:31:26,508 --> 00:31:28,468 Speaker 1: you know, and his agent was like, well, should even 661 00:31:28,508 --> 00:31:30,588 Speaker 1: play in the NFL hey game. I'm Mike nahal him 662 00:31:30,628 --> 00:31:32,708 Speaker 1: playing that game. That's that's a great game. And we 663 00:31:32,788 --> 00:31:34,908 Speaker 1: brought him up. And I was standing with Mike Tomlin 664 00:31:35,108 --> 00:31:37,668 Speaker 1: on Wednesday's practice way in the nine on seven drill, 665 00:31:37,708 --> 00:31:40,428 Speaker 1: inside run drill. This guy's only two hundred and twenty pounds, 666 00:31:40,428 --> 00:31:42,828 Speaker 1: but he's got so much snap in his body. He 667 00:31:42,868 --> 00:31:45,788 Speaker 1: was rocking people. So he really stood out helped himself 668 00:31:45,788 --> 00:31:48,028 Speaker 1: a ton. In terms of small school players, I don't 669 00:31:48,028 --> 00:31:50,188 Speaker 1: really consider it's a small school. It's two lane, it's 670 00:31:50,228 --> 00:31:51,828 Speaker 1: right down the road, you know, a group of five 671 00:31:51,908 --> 00:31:54,988 Speaker 1: level school. But Taje Spears well, breaking news here. Taje 672 00:31:55,068 --> 00:31:56,908 Speaker 1: Spears is going to be named our practice player of 673 00:31:56,948 --> 00:31:58,708 Speaker 1: the week here in about three hours when we do 674 00:31:58,748 --> 00:32:01,508 Speaker 1: our player awards lunch. And that was through a poll 675 00:32:01,548 --> 00:32:04,708 Speaker 1: of NFL scouts last night. We pulled one executive from 676 00:32:04,748 --> 00:32:07,188 Speaker 1: every team, and Taje Spears won that award. You know 677 00:32:07,268 --> 00:32:10,028 Speaker 1: last year was Zion Johnson who went seventeenth overall to 678 00:32:10,148 --> 00:32:13,428 Speaker 1: the Chargers of Taja had a great week. His coming 679 00:32:13,428 --> 00:32:15,908 Speaker 1: out party was in the Cotton Bowl with five touchdowns 680 00:32:15,908 --> 00:32:18,948 Speaker 1: against USC. He continued that momentum here during the week. 681 00:32:18,988 --> 00:32:21,468 Speaker 1: When you get this dude in space, he's got some 682 00:32:21,508 --> 00:32:24,028 Speaker 1: swerve to him, he's got great feel, he's got some 683 00:32:24,188 --> 00:32:26,268 Speaker 1: you know, game breaking potential when you get him in space. 684 00:32:26,308 --> 00:32:28,188 Speaker 1: So those are a couple of guys, mom who and 685 00:32:28,268 --> 00:32:30,508 Speaker 1: Taja really had great weeks. Jim, I would think a 686 00:32:30,508 --> 00:32:33,308 Speaker 1: point of pride for you when you get players to 687 00:32:33,348 --> 00:32:36,108 Speaker 1: come play in the Senior Bowl. Is that Listen? We've 688 00:32:36,108 --> 00:32:38,588 Speaker 1: got Super Bowl champions, guys that play in Super Bowls 689 00:32:38,588 --> 00:32:40,868 Speaker 1: that played in this game. Got a handful of Chiefs 690 00:32:40,868 --> 00:32:44,428 Speaker 1: and Eagles that have Senior Bowl experience. One of them 691 00:32:44,508 --> 00:32:47,028 Speaker 1: is a quarterback, Jalen Hurts. Or were your impressions of 692 00:32:47,108 --> 00:32:49,588 Speaker 1: Jalen Hurts at the twenty twenty Senior Bowl And what's 693 00:32:49,588 --> 00:32:51,788 Speaker 1: it like watching him grow into the player that he 694 00:32:51,868 --> 00:32:54,788 Speaker 1: has become today. It's been awesome. It's been awesome. He's 695 00:32:55,068 --> 00:32:57,948 Speaker 1: a lesson for anyone. You know, I always thinking things 696 00:32:57,948 --> 00:33:00,308 Speaker 1: through a scouting lens, but for scouts, I mean, you 697 00:33:00,308 --> 00:33:02,228 Speaker 1: can never put a ceiling on a guy that's a 698 00:33:02,308 --> 00:33:06,028 Speaker 1: high end worker and as high competitiveness, which Jalen does. 699 00:33:06,068 --> 00:33:08,348 Speaker 1: I mean, this guy guy has gotten better every year 700 00:33:08,348 --> 00:33:11,268 Speaker 1: since his freshman year in Alabama and coming into Senior 701 00:33:11,268 --> 00:33:13,828 Speaker 1: Bowl week. Part of our process once our scouting staff 702 00:33:13,868 --> 00:33:16,708 Speaker 1: has done great in these players in early November. You know, 703 00:33:16,788 --> 00:33:19,468 Speaker 1: we have great sharing calls with you know, at least 704 00:33:19,508 --> 00:33:23,028 Speaker 1: every year at least half the league usually like sixteen, seventeen, 705 00:33:23,068 --> 00:33:26,268 Speaker 1: eighteen teams, And that year Jalen was consensus you know, 706 00:33:26,428 --> 00:33:29,428 Speaker 1: fourth fifth round for everybody didn't tucked to one team 707 00:33:29,428 --> 00:33:31,708 Speaker 1: that had Jalen. Even on day two, you know, when 708 00:33:31,708 --> 00:33:33,708 Speaker 1: he jumped up to the second round, made a big jump. 709 00:33:33,708 --> 00:33:36,548 Speaker 1: I think he went fifty fifty one overall. After our 710 00:33:36,588 --> 00:33:38,308 Speaker 1: week threw it all at the combine two. That was 711 00:33:38,308 --> 00:33:40,468 Speaker 1: a part of it. And now in hindsight, shoot, he 712 00:33:40,508 --> 00:33:42,628 Speaker 1: was way underdrafted. He should have been a top five pick. 713 00:33:42,708 --> 00:33:45,148 Speaker 1: So love seeing Jalen in the part was that week. 714 00:33:45,188 --> 00:33:47,628 Speaker 1: I remember doing some media stuff and some people were 715 00:33:47,668 --> 00:33:49,628 Speaker 1: asking me, are we gonna play Jayalen at running back 716 00:33:49,708 --> 00:33:52,708 Speaker 1: during the week. So incredible. Here we are three years 717 00:33:52,828 --> 00:33:54,668 Speaker 1: later and he's led the Eagles to the super Bowl. 718 00:33:54,748 --> 00:33:56,668 Speaker 1: So happy for that guy. He's one of our favorite 719 00:33:56,668 --> 00:33:58,308 Speaker 1: guys who've got in the game in the last five years. 720 00:33:58,508 --> 00:34:01,148 Speaker 1: Proven doubt is wrong. Love to see it, Jim, appreciate 721 00:34:01,188 --> 00:34:04,308 Speaker 1: you joining the table. Hey next week gone a vacation getaway, 722 00:34:04,468 --> 00:34:08,428 Speaker 1: turn the fall and all enjoy. Congratulations on another successful week.
