38
00:01:48,228 --> 00:01:48,428
Speaker 3: You know?

39
00:01:48,468 --> 00:01:49,748
Speaker 2: Why are there so many numbers?

40
00:01:50,348 --> 00:01:53,668
Speaker 1: The Jersey numbers. A whole lot of us have played

41
00:01:53,708 --> 00:01:57,108
Speaker 1: both ways. I don't know how to represent.

42
00:01:59,228 --> 00:01:59,708
Speaker 4: That's great.

43
00:01:59,788 --> 00:02:00,668
Speaker 2: Everybody looks great.

44
00:02:01,508 --> 00:02:04,388
Speaker 3: The annual League meeting got underway yesterday in Phoenix, Arizona,

45
00:02:04,708 --> 00:02:06,828
Speaker 3: and we had the chance to speak with a bunch

46
00:02:06,828 --> 00:02:09,188
Speaker 3: of NFL coaches. Me being NFL Network, of course, we

47
00:02:09,228 --> 00:02:12,028
Speaker 3: will start with Jets head coach Aaron Glenn, who sat

48
00:02:12,068 --> 00:02:13,588
Speaker 3: down with our own Judy Batista.

49
00:02:14,628 --> 00:02:16,948
Speaker 7: And I know you've said Gino Smith is a Jet.

50
00:02:17,028 --> 00:02:19,268
Speaker 2: What does it mean to have Geno back in the building.

51
00:02:20,788 --> 00:02:24,588
Speaker 8: It means to have a like Bona Farde starter come

52
00:02:24,628 --> 00:02:29,748
Speaker 8: in and lead this offense to where it needs to go. Listen,

53
00:02:30,068 --> 00:02:32,708
Speaker 8: he's done it, you know, a couple of years. I

54
00:02:32,708 --> 00:02:35,228
Speaker 8: mean those years in Seattle when he was I think

55
00:02:35,348 --> 00:02:38,788
Speaker 8: comeback player of the Year man, he was up for

56
00:02:38,948 --> 00:02:42,788
Speaker 8: MVP early in the season. There's no doubt in my

57
00:02:42,828 --> 00:02:46,068
Speaker 8: mind that we brought a competent starter here in this team.

58
00:02:46,108 --> 00:02:47,868
Speaker 8: I look forward to him getting in the building. He's

59
00:02:47,868 --> 00:02:51,308
Speaker 8: a Jet, you know, through and through, and I'm happy

60
00:02:51,308 --> 00:02:53,028
Speaker 8: to have him back. And I think that he has

61
00:02:53,068 --> 00:02:54,508
Speaker 8: a huge ship on the shoulder.

62
00:02:54,748 --> 00:02:56,628
Speaker 7: So just to be clear, Geno Smith, that's the starting

63
00:02:56,708 --> 00:02:58,428
Speaker 7: more of doubt about it. He's our guy.

64
00:02:59,908 --> 00:03:00,188
Speaker 2: Okay.

65
00:03:00,228 --> 00:03:02,388
Speaker 3: So we had the same conversation last year with Pete Carroll,

66
00:03:02,468 --> 00:03:04,628
Speaker 3: not with him, but we had to address it that

67
00:03:04,668 --> 00:03:07,268
Speaker 3: Pete Carroll sat down in Las Vegas and said, Gino

68
00:03:07,308 --> 00:03:09,548
Speaker 3: Smith is my guy. He's my quarterback. This is who's

69
00:03:09,548 --> 00:03:11,348
Speaker 3: going to help us move forward in the building. Peek

70
00:03:11,348 --> 00:03:13,628
Speaker 3: Girl's not there anymore, and neither is Gino Smith. Now

71
00:03:13,668 --> 00:03:15,988
Speaker 3: Gino Smith with the Jets and Aaron Glenn is singing

72
00:03:16,028 --> 00:03:18,988
Speaker 3: the same tune, Manti, what is it about Geno Smith

73
00:03:19,028 --> 00:03:21,908
Speaker 3: and what can he provide for Aaron Glenn and this version.

74
00:03:21,668 --> 00:03:23,268
Speaker 6: Of the Jets Yeah, when I'm looking at the just

75
00:03:23,428 --> 00:03:26,188
Speaker 6: especially last year, you're looking at Gino and you're looking

76
00:03:26,188 --> 00:03:29,948
Speaker 6: at Justin Fields And I remember watching that Jets game

77
00:03:29,988 --> 00:03:32,908
Speaker 6: in London against the Broncos and Justin Fields a sacked

78
00:03:32,948 --> 00:03:34,988
Speaker 6: nine times they had he had a net pass yard

79
00:03:35,028 --> 00:03:38,068
Speaker 6: of negative eleven yards. And you just want somebody that's

80
00:03:38,108 --> 00:03:40,628
Speaker 6: behind center that you have confidence that can get the

81
00:03:40,668 --> 00:03:42,948
Speaker 6: ball to a wide receiver. I remember just watching that game,

82
00:03:43,068 --> 00:03:45,708
Speaker 6: is like, just throw the ball, Justin Just throw it.

83
00:03:45,708 --> 00:03:46,748
Speaker 6: I don't care where it goes.

84
00:03:46,748 --> 00:03:48,828
Speaker 5: Just don't have it in your hands when somebody hits you.

85
00:03:49,348 --> 00:03:50,508
Speaker 4: Gino Smith, if you.

86
00:03:50,548 --> 00:03:53,068
Speaker 6: Are Aaron Glenn, if you are at the Jets, he

87
00:03:53,108 --> 00:03:54,028
Speaker 6: gives you a floor.

88
00:03:54,268 --> 00:03:54,428
Speaker 7: Right.

89
00:03:54,468 --> 00:03:57,348
Speaker 5: He gives you that it can't get worse than this.

90
00:03:57,588 --> 00:03:57,708
Speaker 3: Right.

91
00:03:57,748 --> 00:03:59,388
Speaker 6: There are so many teams around the league that you're

92
00:03:59,388 --> 00:04:02,868
Speaker 6: looking like whatever their quarterback situation is. I think there

93
00:04:02,868 --> 00:04:05,308
Speaker 6: are sometimes fans get into a situation they're.

94
00:04:05,068 --> 00:04:06,828
Speaker 5: Like, man, how bad can this get?

95
00:04:06,868 --> 00:04:09,628
Speaker 6: At least with Gino, you know that he's accurate. He's

96
00:04:09,628 --> 00:04:12,108
Speaker 6: a comeback player of the Year in his career.

97
00:04:12,388 --> 00:04:13,348
Speaker 5: He's going to be able to.

98
00:04:13,348 --> 00:04:16,268
Speaker 6: Get the ball to Garrett Wilson and all the wide

99
00:04:16,268 --> 00:04:18,668
Speaker 6: receivers that that you have over there, because last year

100
00:04:18,788 --> 00:04:21,788
Speaker 6: the Jets they're very very one dimensional, like they're either

101
00:04:22,108 --> 00:04:24,748
Speaker 6: hand the ball off to Breeze Hall or they're letting

102
00:04:24,828 --> 00:04:26,588
Speaker 6: Justin fields run the ball around the field.

103
00:04:26,628 --> 00:04:28,308
Speaker 5: Now, how does that make them one dimensional?

104
00:04:28,548 --> 00:04:30,508
Speaker 6: The same defense that I can run to stop the

105
00:04:30,588 --> 00:04:32,828
Speaker 6: run as the same defense that I'm going to run

106
00:04:32,828 --> 00:04:35,228
Speaker 6: to stop a scrambling quarterback. So now, when you have

107
00:04:35,308 --> 00:04:37,908
Speaker 6: some like Gino Isaiah that can get the ball to

108
00:04:38,028 --> 00:04:40,948
Speaker 6: your wide receivers, that has to force a defense to

109
00:04:40,988 --> 00:04:43,748
Speaker 6: play more honest. It has to force force the defense

110
00:04:43,948 --> 00:04:46,908
Speaker 6: to guard guys like Garrett Wilson and put safeties over

111
00:04:46,948 --> 00:04:49,108
Speaker 6: the top of them. Hopefully that opens up things for

112
00:04:49,108 --> 00:04:51,868
Speaker 6: your run game. But having something like Gino Smith in

113
00:04:51,908 --> 00:04:54,108
Speaker 6: there does pose that threat for a defense that I

114
00:04:54,108 --> 00:04:55,068
Speaker 6: think Aaron Glenn likes.

115
00:04:55,188 --> 00:04:57,308
Speaker 5: I want to agree with you, man Arimona.

116
00:04:58,068 --> 00:05:00,268
Speaker 9: It was convincing, it was yeah, I mean it was

117
00:05:00,268 --> 00:05:04,908
Speaker 9: a valiant effort. Yeah, Jamie, do you like to You

118
00:05:05,348 --> 00:05:09,388
Speaker 9: like to read? Not really, but when you read, right,

119
00:05:09,628 --> 00:05:11,628
Speaker 9: you put something into the hotel hold.

120
00:05:11,628 --> 00:05:12,428
Speaker 5: You're paying a bookmark?

121
00:05:12,668 --> 00:05:13,068
Speaker 6: Bookmark?

122
00:05:13,108 --> 00:05:15,028
Speaker 4: Yeah, what is the purpose of a bookmark?

123
00:05:15,468 --> 00:05:17,508
Speaker 3: Say the spot that you're in. You can come back later.

124
00:05:17,588 --> 00:05:21,908
Speaker 9: A placeholder again, my placeholder. Listen, it's a place Geno Smith.

125
00:05:22,028 --> 00:05:25,708
Speaker 9: I respect anybody who can withstand staying on a roster

126
00:05:25,788 --> 00:05:27,868
Speaker 9: in this league. I have the utmost respect for anybody.

127
00:05:28,068 --> 00:05:31,188
Speaker 9: But let's keep it real, y'all. Geno Smith understands that

128
00:05:31,308 --> 00:05:34,708
Speaker 9: he is a placeholder for next year's draft. He is

129
00:05:34,708 --> 00:05:38,068
Speaker 9: somebody to get them through this season so that they

130
00:05:38,108 --> 00:05:39,348
Speaker 9: can have a.

131
00:05:39,348 --> 00:05:41,068
Speaker 5: Floor, right, raise the floor up.

132
00:05:41,308 --> 00:05:43,788
Speaker 9: But the reality is he hasn't been good as a

133
00:05:43,908 --> 00:05:46,508
Speaker 9: lake to The reality is Geno Smith over the last

134
00:05:46,508 --> 00:05:48,108
Speaker 9: two seasons is twelve and twenty.

135
00:05:48,308 --> 00:05:49,028
Speaker 5: Is that all him?

136
00:05:49,108 --> 00:05:49,988
Speaker 7: No, it's not all him.

137
00:05:50,108 --> 00:05:53,348
Speaker 9: But what is on him is forty touchdowns versus thirty

138
00:05:53,388 --> 00:05:56,508
Speaker 9: two interceptions over the last two seasons. His gameplay has

139
00:05:56,588 --> 00:05:58,268
Speaker 9: significantly dropped off.

140
00:05:58,308 --> 00:05:59,628
Speaker 5: Now what is contributing to that?

141
00:05:59,868 --> 00:06:02,428
Speaker 4: I don't know. Right, we have slumps ass players. You'd

142
00:06:02,428 --> 00:06:03,548
Speaker 4: like to see yourself come out of it.

143
00:06:03,588 --> 00:06:06,868
Speaker 9: But his confidence seems to be shaken, His footwork seems to.

144
00:06:06,868 --> 00:06:07,708
Speaker 4: Be a little bit shaky.

145
00:06:07,908 --> 00:06:10,588
Speaker 9: His accuracy was his calling car but that hasn't been

146
00:06:10,628 --> 00:06:11,628
Speaker 9: the case either because.

147
00:06:11,468 --> 00:06:12,628
Speaker 4: His decision make has been all.

148
00:06:13,188 --> 00:06:15,628
Speaker 9: I want to see him come back to being who

149
00:06:15,708 --> 00:06:18,508
Speaker 9: we know he is capable of being. But he might

150
00:06:18,668 --> 00:06:20,428
Speaker 9: be on the other side of that. Only he can

151
00:06:20,468 --> 00:06:22,788
Speaker 9: tell that. But right now he's just a placeholder for

152
00:06:22,828 --> 00:06:23,268
Speaker 9: the Jets.

153
00:06:23,748 --> 00:06:25,948
Speaker 1: Yeah, Isaiah, I gotta agree with you here. I think

154
00:06:26,068 --> 00:06:27,948
Speaker 1: you know, when I see a move like this, is

155
00:06:27,988 --> 00:06:30,748
Speaker 1: it a win now move or is it a don't

156
00:06:30,788 --> 00:06:32,788
Speaker 1: lose us games now move? And I think when you

157
00:06:32,828 --> 00:06:34,948
Speaker 1: look at this, it's a don't lose us games. Like

158
00:06:34,988 --> 00:06:38,308
Speaker 1: Aaron Glenn defensive head coach, he wants to control the game.

159
00:06:38,308 --> 00:06:40,868
Speaker 1: He wants to control the pace, he wants to be

160
00:06:40,948 --> 00:06:43,308
Speaker 1: the dictator defense, that he wants to run the football.

161
00:06:43,668 --> 00:06:46,468
Speaker 1: And I think right now, we've seen too many situations

162
00:06:46,508 --> 00:06:48,548
Speaker 1: with the New York Jets and bringing in young quarterbacks

163
00:06:48,588 --> 00:06:50,868
Speaker 1: and bringing in a rookie with that New York media,

164
00:06:50,948 --> 00:06:53,828
Speaker 1: and it hasn't gone well. We've seen that happen so

165
00:06:53,988 --> 00:06:56,388
Speaker 1: many times. Let's bring in a level headed better and

166
00:06:56,388 --> 00:06:57,588
Speaker 1: that we know is going to be able to.

167
00:06:57,548 --> 00:07:00,068
Speaker 4: Distribute the football, control the game.

168
00:07:00,068 --> 00:07:02,028
Speaker 1: Be a game manager, and that we know is not

169
00:07:02,068 --> 00:07:04,748
Speaker 1: going to lose us the games. And I think we've

170
00:07:04,748 --> 00:07:06,628
Speaker 1: seen that with the New York Jets too many times

171
00:07:06,748 --> 00:07:08,668
Speaker 1: for too many years. And that's why I kind of

172
00:07:08,708 --> 00:07:11,428
Speaker 1: like this strategy, and who knows, maybe very soon in

173
00:07:11,508 --> 00:07:13,588
Speaker 1: the Green and White we'll be seeing a Arcs banning

174
00:07:13,828 --> 00:07:16,468
Speaker 1: or a Julian saying behind that offense. And I think

175
00:07:16,508 --> 00:07:19,268
Speaker 1: not only that, Aaron Glenn saw that the development of

176
00:07:19,308 --> 00:07:21,748
Speaker 1: Ben Johnson at what it looks like to make an

177
00:07:21,788 --> 00:07:24,308
Speaker 1: offense over years. It's not a one year thing to

178
00:07:24,348 --> 00:07:26,548
Speaker 1: make an offense. So I think when you look at

179
00:07:26,588 --> 00:07:29,348
Speaker 1: all of those factors, I think this move makes sense.

180
00:07:29,388 --> 00:07:32,068
Speaker 1: But is they don't lose US gains now move.

181
00:07:32,028 --> 00:07:33,228
Speaker 2: You're skipping drafts already.

182
00:07:33,228 --> 00:07:35,828
Speaker 3: We're trying to be all Fernando Mendoza and Carson beck I.

183
00:07:36,108 --> 00:07:38,028
Speaker 3: We are talking about the twenty twenty seven draft. But

184
00:07:38,068 --> 00:07:40,748
Speaker 3: you make a good point because what you're implying, though,

185
00:07:40,828 --> 00:07:42,388
Speaker 3: is that if like just hold.

186
00:07:42,228 --> 00:07:44,468
Speaker 2: Steady, but the Jets have a pretty good roster.

187
00:07:44,548 --> 00:07:46,668
Speaker 3: They have a lot of talent in the building. Aaron

188
00:07:46,708 --> 00:07:48,908
Speaker 3: Glenn for all intimes and purposes, great head coach. So

189
00:07:49,268 --> 00:07:52,348
Speaker 3: what if they awkwardly go ahead and win like seven

190
00:07:52,428 --> 00:07:55,148
Speaker 3: or eight games and then they're not having some of

191
00:07:55,148 --> 00:07:58,108
Speaker 3: those top billing situations in the draft for next year,

192
00:07:58,468 --> 00:08:01,188
Speaker 3: all of a sudden, you're like how do I manage this?

193
00:08:01,308 --> 00:08:03,108
Speaker 3: So I'm going to ask you a question off the

194
00:08:03,148 --> 00:08:03,668
Speaker 3: top of the head.

195
00:08:03,748 --> 00:08:03,988
Speaker 4: Yeah.

196
00:08:04,508 --> 00:08:04,788
Speaker 2: Ranking.

197
00:08:04,788 --> 00:08:06,588
Speaker 3: We always talk about power rankings, and it's very fun

198
00:08:06,588 --> 00:08:08,428
Speaker 3: to look at the top. Do you put the Jets

199
00:08:08,508 --> 00:08:11,508
Speaker 3: like thirty two to twenty six right now in the

200
00:08:11,628 --> 00:08:14,268
Speaker 3: NFL power rankings or like twenty six to twenty.

201
00:08:14,468 --> 00:08:15,748
Speaker 4: I think they're in that last year.

202
00:08:16,268 --> 00:08:17,188
Speaker 2: They're in that last year.

203
00:08:17,188 --> 00:08:20,268
Speaker 1: I think I gotta see it. Yeah, I gotta see it.

204
00:08:20,308 --> 00:08:22,428
Speaker 1: When you looked at what happened last year, I gotta

205
00:08:22,428 --> 00:08:22,788
Speaker 1: see it.

206
00:08:22,828 --> 00:08:25,108
Speaker 3: So more likely that you're saying that they would get

207
00:08:25,148 --> 00:08:28,028
Speaker 3: like a better draft, better draft pick. Okay, so they're

208
00:08:28,068 --> 00:08:30,308
Speaker 3: not like that would be an over exaggeration to say.

209
00:08:30,228 --> 00:08:31,068
Speaker 2: They're going to win like seven.

210
00:08:31,268 --> 00:08:31,668
Speaker 5: I would say.

211
00:08:31,708 --> 00:08:33,428
Speaker 6: The thing that works for the Jets though, is the

212
00:08:33,508 --> 00:08:35,828
Speaker 6: Jets are in a division in the AFC East that

213
00:08:35,988 --> 00:08:37,988
Speaker 6: isn't a strong defensive powerhouse.

214
00:08:38,068 --> 00:08:39,508
Speaker 5: Right, So, if you are someone like.

215
00:08:39,508 --> 00:08:42,748
Speaker 6: Gino, if you are somebody we haven't mentioned that, Aaron

216
00:08:42,788 --> 00:08:45,828
Speaker 6: Glenn did bring in another veteran, Frank Wrich as offensive

217
00:08:45,828 --> 00:08:48,508
Speaker 6: coordinator and Frank Wright as an offensive coordinator as an

218
00:08:48,548 --> 00:08:51,708
Speaker 6: offensive genius, Philip Rivers Andrew look comeback player of the

219
00:08:51,748 --> 00:08:54,548
Speaker 6: Year under Frank Wright Frank Bright as a play caller

220
00:08:55,228 --> 00:08:57,908
Speaker 6: with the egos as that guy Carson Wentz was in

221
00:08:58,068 --> 00:09:01,548
Speaker 6: MVP consideration. So there was a time where Gino Smith

222
00:09:01,668 --> 00:09:03,508
Speaker 6: was saying, I didn't right back. There was a time

223
00:09:03,548 --> 00:09:05,708
Speaker 6: where Gino Smith was to talk of the town right

224
00:09:06,268 --> 00:09:08,628
Speaker 6: using his accuracy, using it things that he does very

225
00:09:08,708 --> 00:09:11,788
Speaker 6: very well. I think bringing in somebody like Frank Reich

226
00:09:11,908 --> 00:09:15,348
Speaker 6: into Geno Smith's paradigm in his world in the AFC

227
00:09:15,388 --> 00:09:17,668
Speaker 6: East where he's not going to have to face some

228
00:09:17,708 --> 00:09:20,228
Speaker 6: of the defenses that he faced last last week last

229
00:09:20,308 --> 00:09:21,668
Speaker 6: year in AFC West.

230
00:09:21,668 --> 00:09:23,028
Speaker 5: That's going to give him some time.

231
00:09:23,108 --> 00:09:24,708
Speaker 6: That's going to give him a little bit of room

232
00:09:24,748 --> 00:09:25,868
Speaker 6: and comfort level that.

233
00:09:25,828 --> 00:09:26,908
Speaker 5: He can go out there and do his things. So

234
00:09:26,908 --> 00:09:27,668
Speaker 5: I'm hoping for the best.

235
00:09:27,788 --> 00:09:31,268
Speaker 3: I had totally forgotten I didn't right back. That quite

236
00:09:31,268 --> 00:09:32,228
Speaker 3: a wild time for.

237
00:09:32,388 --> 00:09:34,788
Speaker 2: Seahawks also, and now just a couple of years ago.

238
00:09:34,908 --> 00:09:36,868
Speaker 3: All right, we mentioned the Raiders once already, but let's

239
00:09:36,868 --> 00:09:39,788
Speaker 3: talk about them again. Clink Kubiak, fresh off of a

240
00:09:40,308 --> 00:09:42,268
Speaker 3: Super Bowl win, is now in charge of the Raiders,

241
00:09:42,308 --> 00:09:44,188
Speaker 3: and he had quite the off season already because he

242
00:09:44,188 --> 00:09:46,508
Speaker 3: thought he had lost Max Crosby and now he's back.

243
00:09:46,308 --> 00:09:47,668
Speaker 2: We're calling it a trade saga.

244
00:09:48,108 --> 00:09:50,748
Speaker 3: The new Las Vegas Raiders head coach discussed the impact

245
00:09:50,788 --> 00:09:53,188
Speaker 3: of having Crosby back in the Desert and what he

246
00:09:53,268 --> 00:09:57,788
Speaker 3: means to this team again with Judy Batista.

247
00:09:56,708 --> 00:09:59,068
Speaker 10: Hefc Max almost every day. You know, he's in the

248
00:09:59,068 --> 00:10:01,188
Speaker 10: building every day. He beats a lot of the coaches

249
00:10:01,188 --> 00:10:04,668
Speaker 10: in there. Really impressive guy. That's really you know, being

250
00:10:04,708 --> 00:10:06,308
Speaker 10: a great player is really important to him. You can

251
00:10:06,388 --> 00:10:09,748
Speaker 10: just tell by the way he shows up. So you know,

252
00:10:09,788 --> 00:10:11,788
Speaker 10: it's kind of like I think John said, this was

253
00:10:11,868 --> 00:10:13,788
Speaker 10: kind of like you never left, you know, were I

254
00:10:13,828 --> 00:10:16,028
Speaker 10: felt like we picked up another free agent signing once

255
00:10:16,068 --> 00:10:17,468
Speaker 10: we got him back from Baltimore.

256
00:10:17,508 --> 00:10:19,988
Speaker 7: Really excited about him leading our defense.

257
00:10:19,788 --> 00:10:22,588
Speaker 9: What tricks, expectation, just his physical timeline that.

258
00:10:23,348 --> 00:10:24,748
Speaker 10: I know there's going to be a point in training

259
00:10:24,788 --> 00:10:26,828
Speaker 10: camp where we're going to get him back and you know,

260
00:10:27,788 --> 00:10:29,788
Speaker 10: you know, I'm not going to get too much further

261
00:10:29,828 --> 00:10:31,828
Speaker 10: into that. I think I think training camp he'll be

262
00:10:31,908 --> 00:10:34,748
Speaker 10: back raid or role and uh, you know, the way

263
00:10:34,748 --> 00:10:35,028
Speaker 10: that he.

264
00:10:34,988 --> 00:10:36,908
Speaker 7: Works, it wouldn't surprise me if he's ready ear there.

265
00:10:38,508 --> 00:10:40,108
Speaker 3: If you had to flag it now, I would say

266
00:10:40,108 --> 00:10:42,948
Speaker 3: top five storyline for training camp already looking ahead to

267
00:10:43,028 --> 00:10:45,028
Speaker 3: July and August is people are going to be obsessed

268
00:10:45,068 --> 00:10:47,748
Speaker 3: with Max Crosby's health and availability. And it's all because

269
00:10:47,748 --> 00:10:49,748
Speaker 3: the Ravens said, we're not sure about this.

270
00:10:49,868 --> 00:10:52,028
Speaker 2: Our doctors took a look and we're going to move on.

271
00:10:52,068 --> 00:10:53,188
Speaker 2: And they get Trey Henderson.

272
00:10:53,388 --> 00:10:56,188
Speaker 3: But that means the Raiders get Max Crosby. They already

273
00:10:56,188 --> 00:10:58,308
Speaker 3: had him Jason, but there he's back in the building.

274
00:10:58,628 --> 00:11:01,468
Speaker 3: What did the return of Crosby to the Raiders and

275
00:11:01,508 --> 00:11:03,268
Speaker 3: klen Kubiak mean for twenty twenty six.

276
00:11:03,868 --> 00:11:06,148
Speaker 1: I think it's interesting because when you when you think

277
00:11:06,148 --> 00:11:08,788
Speaker 1: about Max Crosby, you think about this team, it makes

278
00:11:08,788 --> 00:11:12,748
Speaker 1: you wonder is this a gift or is this somewhat

279
00:11:12,788 --> 00:11:16,348
Speaker 1: of a complication because our understanding was that this is

280
00:11:16,388 --> 00:11:19,028
Speaker 1: going to be a full rebuild for the Las Vegas Raiders,

281
00:11:19,068 --> 00:11:21,428
Speaker 1: And I think when you look at the team without

282
00:11:21,468 --> 00:11:24,428
Speaker 1: Max Crosby, you have an opportunity to have more draft capital,

283
00:11:24,668 --> 00:11:27,428
Speaker 1: more opportunities to fill the holes that are on this roster.

284
00:11:27,588 --> 00:11:30,508
Speaker 1: Because Geno Smith that quarterback was not the only hole

285
00:11:30,708 --> 00:11:33,148
Speaker 1: and the only issue with that team last year, But

286
00:11:33,268 --> 00:11:35,868
Speaker 1: with him on the team, you have culture you have

287
00:11:35,908 --> 00:11:38,388
Speaker 1: an identity, you have a face of the locker room

288
00:11:38,428 --> 00:11:40,828
Speaker 1: and a leader, and they get accountable one right there

289
00:11:40,828 --> 00:11:43,348
Speaker 1: in the locker room. So it's like, does Max Crosby

290
00:11:43,428 --> 00:11:46,308
Speaker 1: slow down the rebuild of the Raiders by creating pressure

291
00:11:46,388 --> 00:11:49,348
Speaker 1: to win before the roster is really ready to do that?

292
00:11:49,468 --> 00:11:51,308
Speaker 1: And that's kind of how I look at this situation

293
00:11:51,908 --> 00:11:52,388
Speaker 1: right now.

294
00:11:53,068 --> 00:11:55,428
Speaker 6: Well, when you talk about the rebuild, right it's I

295
00:11:55,508 --> 00:11:58,148
Speaker 6: got a question for for the Raiders on this how

296
00:11:58,148 --> 00:12:00,628
Speaker 6: long have they been rebuilding? You know, like that's that's

297
00:12:00,668 --> 00:12:02,468
Speaker 6: that's the There was a there was a time where

298
00:12:02,468 --> 00:12:05,108
Speaker 6: they also traded a star pass rushed by the name

299
00:12:05,148 --> 00:12:08,708
Speaker 6: of Khalil Mack to the Chicago Browns for some draft equity,

300
00:12:08,868 --> 00:12:11,268
Speaker 6: and yet they're still in the same situation. So when

301
00:12:11,308 --> 00:12:14,148
Speaker 6: you look at this, this whole situation with Max Crosby,

302
00:12:14,268 --> 00:12:16,588
Speaker 6: what they were getting was another first round pick for

303
00:12:16,708 --> 00:12:18,908
Speaker 6: this year and another first round pick for last.

304
00:12:18,988 --> 00:12:20,588
Speaker 5: So it's only two first round picks.

305
00:12:20,908 --> 00:12:24,028
Speaker 6: You have to be right, And that's just that's a

306
00:12:24,108 --> 00:12:26,588
Speaker 6: huge question mark. The one thing that's not a question mark, guys,

307
00:12:26,668 --> 00:12:28,868
Speaker 6: is Max Crosby. Okay, there's not a quick He plays

308
00:12:28,908 --> 00:12:32,068
Speaker 6: with the exclamation mark. So there's there's three people that

309
00:12:32,148 --> 00:12:35,068
Speaker 6: aren't happy about this thing, and that's the quarterbacks for

310
00:12:35,148 --> 00:12:35,588
Speaker 6: the other.

311
00:12:35,468 --> 00:12:36,468
Speaker 5: Teams in AFC West.

312
00:12:36,508 --> 00:12:38,828
Speaker 6: They are not happy to the fact that that man

313
00:12:38,868 --> 00:12:39,308
Speaker 6: is back.

314
00:12:39,188 --> 00:12:39,908
Speaker 5: In siber and Black.

315
00:12:39,988 --> 00:12:42,388
Speaker 6: So if you are coach Klint Kulbiak, I want to

316
00:12:42,388 --> 00:12:44,068
Speaker 6: correct him a little bit in what he said in

317
00:12:44,108 --> 00:12:46,348
Speaker 6: that little sot there. He said, we had another free

318
00:12:46,348 --> 00:12:50,028
Speaker 6: agent signing. You just didn't have another free agent signing.

319
00:12:50,068 --> 00:12:52,828
Speaker 6: You had the free agent signing. There are thirty one

320
00:12:52,908 --> 00:12:57,108
Speaker 6: other teams that would be elated to have Max Crosby. Now,

321
00:12:57,108 --> 00:12:59,548
Speaker 6: obviously I set thirty one, not thirty two because what

322
00:12:59,668 --> 00:13:04,068
Speaker 6: happened with the Ravens. But Max Crobby is Max Crosby

323
00:13:04,108 --> 00:13:05,708
Speaker 6: is one of those players. Guys, and we know this

324
00:13:05,788 --> 00:13:07,268
Speaker 6: that you could go into a locker room and you

325
00:13:07,308 --> 00:13:10,148
Speaker 6: could point to one guy and you tell your rookie,

326
00:13:10,188 --> 00:13:12,468
Speaker 6: you tell everybody else, do it like Batman, and I

327
00:13:12,508 --> 00:13:14,708
Speaker 6: promise you great things will happen. It is a great

328
00:13:14,748 --> 00:13:17,828
Speaker 6: blessing to the options you gave Cabinda to have somebody

329
00:13:17,868 --> 00:13:20,148
Speaker 6: like Max Crosby in your locker room, to have him

330
00:13:20,148 --> 00:13:23,508
Speaker 6: on your team, to have him on the field for games, wrecking.

331
00:13:23,188 --> 00:13:24,068
Speaker 5: Havoc for your team.

332
00:13:24,108 --> 00:13:26,188
Speaker 6: So I'm glad that he's back in the Super and Black.

333
00:13:26,588 --> 00:13:28,588
Speaker 4: I think it's a gift. It's one heng of a gift.

334
00:13:29,148 --> 00:13:30,028
Speaker 4: Christmas came early.

335
00:13:30,628 --> 00:13:32,428
Speaker 9: I don't believe that they would have had the offseason

336
00:13:32,468 --> 00:13:35,708
Speaker 9: that they had in terms of acquisitions, had Max Crosby

337
00:13:35,828 --> 00:13:38,508
Speaker 9: remained on their team the entire time, you know, barring

338
00:13:38,548 --> 00:13:42,308
Speaker 9: the trade. They picked up some really good players defensively,

339
00:13:42,428 --> 00:13:45,668
Speaker 9: Jeremy Chang, Kway Walker, Nikobe daan Ron Johnson. They got

340
00:13:45,668 --> 00:13:49,308
Speaker 9: some veterans now that can play a fall right. They

341
00:13:49,348 --> 00:13:52,548
Speaker 9: got some aggressive, downhill, go get it type players. The

342
00:13:52,628 --> 00:13:54,948
Speaker 9: identity of this defense is really starting to shape up

343
00:13:54,948 --> 00:13:56,388
Speaker 9: when you look at the personnel now.

344
00:13:56,428 --> 00:13:58,228
Speaker 4: They still have to put it together obviously.

345
00:13:57,988 --> 00:13:59,868
Speaker 9: Right we all understand that about the game of football.

346
00:14:00,068 --> 00:14:02,268
Speaker 9: But we know one thing. Their offense is going to

347
00:14:02,308 --> 00:14:04,868
Speaker 9: be solid. They have offensive talent. They just missing a

348
00:14:04,948 --> 00:14:07,428
Speaker 9: quarterback and maybe a couple of key other players.

349
00:14:07,868 --> 00:14:09,068
Speaker 5: But they have draft equity.

350
00:14:09,108 --> 00:14:11,028
Speaker 9: They have five players in the top one hundred and

351
00:14:11,068 --> 00:14:13,148
Speaker 9: two picks of this year's draft. We understand they're going

352
00:14:13,188 --> 00:14:15,028
Speaker 9: to take a quarterback. Who is going to be I

353
00:14:15,028 --> 00:14:16,268
Speaker 9: don't know. I know a lot of people are assuming

354
00:14:16,268 --> 00:14:18,468
Speaker 9: it's gonna be somebody, but we'll see if.

355
00:14:18,388 --> 00:14:19,268
Speaker 5: That works out that way.

356
00:14:19,308 --> 00:14:21,428
Speaker 9: But these guys have other draft equity that they can

357
00:14:21,468 --> 00:14:23,468
Speaker 9: add on a defense side of the ball, as an

358
00:14:23,508 --> 00:14:25,868
Speaker 9: offensive mind and head coach that you feel fully confident

359
00:14:25,868 --> 00:14:28,748
Speaker 9: in with that young talent, that young nucleus on offense,

360
00:14:28,988 --> 00:14:31,028
Speaker 9: you feel confident about the offense moving forward.

361
00:14:31,228 --> 00:14:32,228
Speaker 4: It's about the defense.

362
00:14:32,308 --> 00:14:35,268
Speaker 9: And again Max Crosby coming back with the dishes that

363
00:14:35,268 --> 00:14:37,668
Speaker 9: they brought in veterans and they have four other picks

364
00:14:37,708 --> 00:14:38,948
Speaker 9: outside of picking a quarterback.

365
00:14:39,388 --> 00:14:40,988
Speaker 5: This might turn around to be something.

366
00:14:41,188 --> 00:14:43,308
Speaker 3: I see this job for Kln Kubiak as an absolute

367
00:14:43,348 --> 00:14:47,148
Speaker 3: pressure cooker. Here in the AFC West, you are have

368
00:14:47,228 --> 00:14:49,628
Speaker 3: the number one overall pick and you have this player

369
00:14:49,668 --> 00:14:51,428
Speaker 3: returning to you, so you have to do something with

370
00:14:51,548 --> 00:14:52,828
Speaker 3: him dot dot dot or else.

371
00:14:52,868 --> 00:14:53,988
Speaker 2: It feels like a little bit.

372
00:14:54,228 --> 00:14:57,108
Speaker 3: That's the AFC West over in the NFC West. Steve

373
00:14:57,148 --> 00:14:59,948
Speaker 3: Boy shot down with Rams head coach Sean McVay and

374
00:15:00,188 --> 00:15:04,108
Speaker 3: asked him about LA's offseason moves, including the return of

375
00:15:04,428 --> 00:15:07,588
Speaker 3: quarterback Matthew Stafford. He also got coach McVeigh to address

376
00:15:07,828 --> 00:15:10,748
Speaker 3: Poku Nakua's off field behavior recently and how he feels

377
00:15:10,748 --> 00:15:12,588
Speaker 3: about his star wide receiver moving forward?

378
00:15:13,788 --> 00:15:16,908
Speaker 11: How good was it that Matthew declared so early on

379
00:15:16,988 --> 00:15:18,788
Speaker 11: that he was coming back to you guys can kind

380
00:15:18,788 --> 00:15:19,988
Speaker 11: of set the table knowing.

381
00:15:19,908 --> 00:15:20,548
Speaker 7: No, it was good.

382
00:15:20,588 --> 00:15:22,988
Speaker 12: I mean everything starts with that position. And when you've

383
00:15:22,988 --> 00:15:26,108
Speaker 12: got a guy like him that instills belief and everybody

384
00:15:26,148 --> 00:15:28,748
Speaker 12: around him. The way he goes about it, he epitomizes

385
00:15:28,788 --> 00:15:30,108
Speaker 12: everything we want to be about.

386
00:15:30,428 --> 00:15:31,388
Speaker 7: And then obviously he's a.

387
00:15:31,308 --> 00:15:33,908
Speaker 12: Special player, but you know, even more special person. It

388
00:15:33,988 --> 00:15:34,388
Speaker 12: meant a lot.

389
00:15:34,428 --> 00:15:36,308
Speaker 11: We'll talk a little about Pokinakua, one of the best

390
00:15:36,308 --> 00:15:39,348
Speaker 11: wide receivers in the game, up for that contract extension,

391
00:15:39,508 --> 00:15:42,348
Speaker 11: but he has made some news off the field and

392
00:15:42,388 --> 00:15:45,868
Speaker 11: some headlines. What conversations have you had with him saying, look,

393
00:15:46,028 --> 00:15:48,468
Speaker 11: you've got a great thing in front of you, focus

394
00:15:48,548 --> 00:15:48,868
Speaker 11: on that.

395
00:15:49,148 --> 00:15:50,468
Speaker 7: I think it's really just what you said.

396
00:15:50,508 --> 00:15:52,548
Speaker 12: Here's the thing that you do know being around him

397
00:15:52,548 --> 00:15:55,748
Speaker 12: for three years, love this guy's heart. He's got an authentic,

398
00:15:55,908 --> 00:15:56,508
Speaker 12: you know, just.

399
00:15:56,548 --> 00:15:57,268
Speaker 4: Zest for life.

400
00:15:57,348 --> 00:15:59,388
Speaker 12: He's got just this vibe about him that you can't

401
00:15:59,428 --> 00:16:02,388
Speaker 12: help but love. And he's continuing to mature. And as

402
00:16:02,428 --> 00:16:06,268
Speaker 12: you're becoming this amazing player, that comes with responsibilities, but

403
00:16:06,588 --> 00:16:07,148
Speaker 12: we love him.

404
00:16:07,188 --> 00:16:08,228
Speaker 7: You know, he's one of us.

405
00:16:08,828 --> 00:16:10,668
Speaker 12: You want to continue to put your arm around him

406
00:16:10,708 --> 00:16:12,788
Speaker 12: and help him continue to grow in all areas of

407
00:16:12,828 --> 00:16:14,548
Speaker 12: his life. I think we want to invest in the

408
00:16:14,548 --> 00:16:15,188
Speaker 12: whole person.

409
00:16:17,068 --> 00:16:20,028
Speaker 3: You can catch more from the conversation with Sean McVay

410
00:16:20,108 --> 00:16:21,948
Speaker 3: and the rest of the NFL head coaches at the

411
00:16:21,988 --> 00:16:24,788
Speaker 3: annual League Meeting on the Insider tonight at seven pm

412
00:16:24,828 --> 00:16:30,148
Speaker 3: Eastern right here on NFL Network. Really sad news emerged

413
00:16:30,268 --> 00:16:34,068
Speaker 3: over the weekend, and that was the passing of longtime

414
00:16:34,188 --> 00:16:37,508
Speaker 3: Viking safety Joey Browner passed away on Saturday, the same

415
00:16:37,588 --> 00:16:40,308
Speaker 3: day it was announced fellow Viking Jeff Simon died at

416
00:16:40,308 --> 00:16:43,668
Speaker 3: age seventy five. Browner was a six time Pro bowler

417
00:16:43,668 --> 00:16:46,628
Speaker 3: for the Vikings during his nine seasons in Minnesota.

418
00:16:46,708 --> 00:16:48,188
Speaker 2: He'd spend one with.

419
00:16:48,148 --> 00:16:52,028
Speaker 3: The Buccaneers, but Browner was named the nineteen eighties NFL

420
00:16:52,108 --> 00:16:55,388
Speaker 3: Team of the Decade and was inducted into the Vikings

421
00:16:55,468 --> 00:16:59,028
Speaker 3: Ring of Honor back in twenty thirteen. His teammate, former

422
00:16:59,188 --> 00:17:02,268
Speaker 3: Vikings player Steve Jordan, has said God bless Joey with

423
00:17:02,308 --> 00:17:04,788
Speaker 3: phenomenal talent and a big heart to love people and

424
00:17:04,828 --> 00:17:06,228
Speaker 3: be a beacon of positivity.

425
00:17:06,548 --> 00:17:07,708
Speaker 2: Truly, he will be missed.

426
00:17:07,828 --> 00:17:26,028
Speaker 3: Joey Browner was just sixty five years old. Good Morning Football,

427
00:17:26,428 --> 00:17:29,108
Speaker 3: biggest thrill in sports, going for two. That's why I

428
00:17:29,148 --> 00:17:31,188
Speaker 3: love this segment. Did you catch brown? Maybe the final

429
00:17:31,228 --> 00:17:34,148
Speaker 3: four buzzer reader, But that is all relative.

430
00:17:34,188 --> 00:17:36,548
Speaker 2: You know, it's a football show. Okay, Sorry?

431
00:17:36,788 --> 00:17:38,068
Speaker 5: Sorry.

432
00:17:39,028 --> 00:17:41,828
Speaker 3: Brown's general manager Andrew Berry during the annual league meeting

433
00:17:41,868 --> 00:17:42,508
Speaker 3: in Arizona.

434
00:17:42,548 --> 00:17:43,388
Speaker 2: Do you hear what he had to say?

435
00:17:43,468 --> 00:17:46,268
Speaker 3: He put to rest any speculation regarding the future of

436
00:17:46,308 --> 00:17:48,628
Speaker 3: superstar Miles Garrett, but we're still going to talk about it.

437
00:17:48,908 --> 00:17:50,468
Speaker 13: So I think you guys know, like standard practice, I

438
00:17:50,468 --> 00:17:53,468
Speaker 13: don't come in on player contracts. I guess probably the

439
00:17:53,788 --> 00:17:56,508
Speaker 13: easiest thing to say is if you know, if we

440
00:17:56,548 --> 00:17:58,748
Speaker 13: wanted to trade Miles, we wouldn't need to make a

441
00:17:58,908 --> 00:18:01,188
Speaker 13: contract adjustment, so it does not have a thing to do

442
00:18:01,228 --> 00:18:05,348
Speaker 13: with that. Miles is a career Brown he is one

443
00:18:05,348 --> 00:18:07,628
Speaker 13: of the faces of our organization. I think We've been

444
00:18:07,748 --> 00:18:10,748
Speaker 13: very clear both past him present in terms of our feelings.

445
00:18:10,788 --> 00:18:13,868
Speaker 13: So I understand all the questions I'll be asked. I

446
00:18:13,868 --> 00:18:15,748
Speaker 13: don't really want to waste a ton more Brett on

447
00:18:15,788 --> 00:18:18,428
Speaker 13: the time. Make sure but you feel like you guys

448
00:18:18,428 --> 00:18:19,588
Speaker 13: are in a good spot with Miles.

449
00:18:19,628 --> 00:18:19,828
Speaker 4: We do.

450
00:18:21,828 --> 00:18:25,068
Speaker 3: I'm not a CAF expert, I'm not a GM, and

451
00:18:25,108 --> 00:18:26,788
Speaker 3: I'm not an agent, but I thought it was one

452
00:18:26,828 --> 00:18:29,348
Speaker 3: of the most like front loaded guaranteed money deals of

453
00:18:29,388 --> 00:18:31,788
Speaker 3: all time. Like they had to adjust it in order

454
00:18:31,828 --> 00:18:33,668
Speaker 3: to make it trade friendly. It's the opposite of what

455
00:18:33,668 --> 00:18:35,948
Speaker 3: my brain thinks that Andrew Berry is trying to imply there.

456
00:18:36,148 --> 00:18:38,268
Speaker 3: But the Browns GM is saying that they're in a

457
00:18:38,268 --> 00:18:39,588
Speaker 3: great spot with Miles Garrett.

458
00:18:39,668 --> 00:18:42,188
Speaker 2: He is a Brown for life. We paid him accordingly.

459
00:18:42,428 --> 00:18:44,868
Speaker 3: But this recent adjustment to his deal, Manti does make

460
00:18:44,948 --> 00:18:47,108
Speaker 3: us think, what are your reactions to Andrew Berry standing

461
00:18:47,148 --> 00:18:47,788
Speaker 3: up for his guy.

462
00:18:47,868 --> 00:18:50,348
Speaker 6: Yeah, whenever you start to make some changes, right, that's

463
00:18:50,348 --> 00:18:52,548
Speaker 6: where the questions start coming in as to why you're

464
00:18:52,588 --> 00:18:55,988
Speaker 6: making some changes. I also think that Andrew Berry coming

465
00:18:56,028 --> 00:18:58,108
Speaker 6: off of what they did last year in their draft.

466
00:18:58,148 --> 00:19:00,508
Speaker 6: I think not a lot has been said about how

467
00:19:00,548 --> 00:19:03,028
Speaker 6: successful their draft was last year. I mean, Mason Grahmm

468
00:19:03,028 --> 00:19:05,468
Speaker 6: in the first round, Right Carsons a defensive Rookie of

469
00:19:05,508 --> 00:19:09,348
Speaker 6: the Year. Second round quin Shawn Judkins, Tarrold Defannon Junior,

470
00:19:09,428 --> 00:19:12,308
Speaker 6: Dylan Gabriel Dylan Samson, Shaduur Sanders like the guy really

471
00:19:12,348 --> 00:19:14,228
Speaker 6: knocked it out of the park. So I also think

472
00:19:14,228 --> 00:19:16,668
Speaker 6: to a certain point, you know, Andrew Barry is like, man,

473
00:19:16,988 --> 00:19:18,988
Speaker 6: I actually did pretty good, and if I actually have

474
00:19:18,988 --> 00:19:20,228
Speaker 6: another shot at this thing.

475
00:19:20,068 --> 00:19:21,148
Speaker 5: Maybe I can do it again.

476
00:19:21,628 --> 00:19:24,028
Speaker 6: This and Andrew Berry, there's the reason why that man

477
00:19:24,428 --> 00:19:27,228
Speaker 6: continues to be the wrecking ball of a defensive end

478
00:19:27,428 --> 00:19:30,028
Speaker 6: and defensive player for your franchise.

479
00:19:30,228 --> 00:19:32,468
Speaker 5: He's one of the best. He causes I swear we

480
00:19:32,628 --> 00:19:33,228
Speaker 5: just talked.

481
00:19:32,988 --> 00:19:35,468
Speaker 6: About this, but in a form of Max crossby another

482
00:19:35,548 --> 00:19:37,708
Speaker 6: Star defensive defensive end.

483
00:19:38,068 --> 00:19:39,268
Speaker 5: But it's on a team.

484
00:19:39,068 --> 00:19:40,708
Speaker 6: That needs a lot of pieces, and so when you

485
00:19:40,708 --> 00:19:43,188
Speaker 6: look at Andrew Berry, I think they're trying to figure out, hey,

486
00:19:43,468 --> 00:19:44,588
Speaker 6: we need a lot of help.

487
00:19:44,428 --> 00:19:45,828
Speaker 5: On the offensive side of the ball.

488
00:19:46,148 --> 00:19:48,788
Speaker 6: We have one of the Star Wars Star defensive ends.

489
00:19:48,828 --> 00:19:51,788
Speaker 5: What could that look like for us given the opportunity

490
00:19:51,828 --> 00:19:52,348
Speaker 5: to trade him.

491
00:19:52,388 --> 00:19:54,588
Speaker 6: So again, when you start making some changes like that,

492
00:19:54,668 --> 00:19:57,228
Speaker 6: we can as a show have to comment about it.

493
00:19:57,468 --> 00:19:59,628
Speaker 1: I agree, and look, at the end of the day,

494
00:19:59,628 --> 00:20:02,628
Speaker 1: I think that Miles Gear is probably going to go

495
00:20:02,708 --> 00:20:05,948
Speaker 1: down for all of us as players, the best ever

496
00:20:06,388 --> 00:20:09,868
Speaker 1: at the defensive impositions. Due is a freak absolute alien.

497
00:20:10,148 --> 00:20:12,628
Speaker 1: I know when we start adjusting contracts and us as players,

498
00:20:12,948 --> 00:20:15,628
Speaker 1: we understand the business. We even say between us as

499
00:20:15,628 --> 00:20:18,508
Speaker 1: players when we're in the building, absolutely nobody is safe.

500
00:20:18,708 --> 00:20:21,028
Speaker 1: You can be very good and have a great, great season,

501
00:20:21,068 --> 00:20:23,548
Speaker 1: and that makes you tradeable because now your value is up.

502
00:20:23,628 --> 00:20:25,428
Speaker 1: You can have a bad season and now you're not

503
00:20:25,548 --> 00:20:27,668
Speaker 1: safe because they want to get you out of the building.

504
00:20:27,908 --> 00:20:30,908
Speaker 1: You see, you know, contracts, getting me adjusted, things of

505
00:20:30,908 --> 00:20:32,868
Speaker 1: that nature. So obviously we have to ask a question.

506
00:20:33,188 --> 00:20:35,988
Speaker 1: If I'm a GM owner coach, I would never ever

507
00:20:36,108 --> 00:20:38,788
Speaker 1: let Miles Garrett leave my building, and I don't think

508
00:20:38,988 --> 00:20:41,188
Speaker 1: he will be leaving Cleveland's building at all.

509
00:20:41,548 --> 00:20:43,468
Speaker 4: But it's worth asking the question.

510
00:20:43,748 --> 00:20:49,468
Speaker 9: It is, Oh, mister Andrew Berry, you don't want to

511
00:20:49,508 --> 00:20:52,268
Speaker 9: waste any more breath? On the topic, well, I have

512
00:20:52,348 --> 00:20:54,708
Speaker 9: a gift for you, being that you don't want to

513
00:20:54,748 --> 00:20:55,548
Speaker 9: waste any more breath.

514
00:20:55,548 --> 00:20:56,948
Speaker 4: Do we have a picture of what it is that

515
00:20:56,988 --> 00:20:58,588
Speaker 4: I can give him my child?

516
00:20:59,788 --> 00:21:03,428
Speaker 9: I just just wonder anyway he doesn't want to use

517
00:21:03,428 --> 00:21:05,988
Speaker 9: any more breath for it, but anyways, yeah, yeah, let's

518
00:21:05,988 --> 00:21:09,308
Speaker 9: get him some oxygen, because because I'm here, I want

519
00:21:09,348 --> 00:21:10,908
Speaker 9: to hear you don't want to use your breath so again,

520
00:21:10,988 --> 00:21:12,388
Speaker 9: so we will provide you oxygen.

521
00:21:12,468 --> 00:21:13,428
Speaker 4: There's no way.

522
00:21:13,268 --> 00:21:16,348
Speaker 9: That you're just gonna blow past this topic. There's a

523
00:21:16,428 --> 00:21:18,628
Speaker 9: number of things that happen here, fellas. Okay, we're all

524
00:21:18,628 --> 00:21:21,668
Speaker 9: players at the table. We understand contract talks, we understand

525
00:21:21,668 --> 00:21:23,668
Speaker 9: how things get manipulated behind.

526
00:21:23,388 --> 00:21:24,948
Speaker 4: The scenes, and stuff just happens.

527
00:21:24,948 --> 00:21:27,348
Speaker 9: To work his way out, Miles Garrett has been trying

528
00:21:27,348 --> 00:21:28,988
Speaker 9: to get out of Cleveland for a very long time.

529
00:21:29,068 --> 00:21:29,228
Speaker 7: Ya.

530
00:21:29,508 --> 00:21:31,948
Speaker 9: You guys have been in conversations with other teams about

531
00:21:31,988 --> 00:21:34,788
Speaker 9: trading him. Whether the equity's been there are the way

532
00:21:34,828 --> 00:21:36,468
Speaker 9: in which you want it to or not, I don't

533
00:21:36,468 --> 00:21:36,828
Speaker 9: really know.

534
00:21:36,908 --> 00:21:37,708
Speaker 5: So what is it that you.

535
00:21:37,708 --> 00:21:39,908
Speaker 9: Would do on the back end as an organization, maybe

536
00:21:39,908 --> 00:21:42,028
Speaker 9: at the owner's meeting put in a request to change

537
00:21:42,028 --> 00:21:44,628
Speaker 9: the rules from being able to trade players.

538
00:21:44,308 --> 00:21:45,948
Speaker 4: Three years in advance to be able to.

539
00:21:45,948 --> 00:21:47,388
Speaker 9: Trade players five years.

540
00:21:47,788 --> 00:21:49,028
Speaker 4: Right, so instead of being able.

541
00:21:48,868 --> 00:21:51,108
Speaker 9: To you know, we let's stretch out this equity, give

542
00:21:51,108 --> 00:21:53,228
Speaker 9: me your pick five years from now. They put in

543
00:21:53,228 --> 00:21:54,988
Speaker 9: a request for that, and then on the heels of

544
00:21:55,028 --> 00:21:56,148
Speaker 9: that they also would ahead an.

545
00:21:56,068 --> 00:21:57,068
Speaker 4: Adjust to his contract.

546
00:21:57,388 --> 00:21:59,588
Speaker 5: Listen, the math isn't math and mister Barry.

547
00:21:59,668 --> 00:22:02,228
Speaker 9: Okay, so even though you don't have the breath, we're

548
00:22:02,268 --> 00:22:04,188
Speaker 9: gonna help you out because we need more answers.

549
00:22:04,748 --> 00:22:07,508
Speaker 3: Yeah, just ask Masks Crosby. We just got done talking

550
00:22:07,508 --> 00:22:09,948
Speaker 3: about him. It can't just be a one man band

551
00:22:10,028 --> 00:22:12,068
Speaker 3: for any of these teams to do well. Both of

552
00:22:12,108 --> 00:22:14,388
Speaker 3: these pass rushers who are elites at their game are

553
00:22:14,428 --> 00:22:16,228
Speaker 3: on these teams that are still trying to figure out

554
00:22:16,468 --> 00:22:19,028
Speaker 3: offensively and get wins on the table, and it's a

555
00:22:19,108 --> 00:22:20,828
Speaker 3: challenging thing to watch Miles Garrett go through this.

556
00:22:20,868 --> 00:22:23,948
Speaker 2: Andrew Barry, you're not helping us, okay, Like we redid

557
00:22:23,948 --> 00:22:25,428
Speaker 2: the deal, we got to talk about it.

558
00:22:26,108 --> 00:22:27,828
Speaker 3: At the opposite end of the spectrum are the New

559
00:22:27,868 --> 00:22:30,788
Speaker 3: England Patriots and their head coach Mike Vrabel, who always

560
00:22:30,908 --> 00:22:33,068
Speaker 3: takes more of a hands on approach when it comes

561
00:22:33,148 --> 00:22:36,948
Speaker 3: to participating in practice. Well, we're extending beyond practice now

562
00:22:36,988 --> 00:22:39,548
Speaker 3: because this was at the pro day for Arizona State

563
00:22:39,868 --> 00:22:45,788
Speaker 3: and there are offensive linemen. Max Ihanachur Bhanachur did not.

564
00:22:45,788 --> 00:22:47,308
Speaker 2: Sign up for this, I bet that day.

565
00:22:47,348 --> 00:22:50,148
Speaker 3: This video came out over the weekend, and then of

566
00:22:50,148 --> 00:22:53,068
Speaker 3: course we willed to ask Masks Max about it. It's

567
00:22:53,108 --> 00:22:54,788
Speaker 3: really a big blessing for me to be able to

568
00:22:54,828 --> 00:22:58,188
Speaker 3: learn from him. Verbel just being hands on telling me

569
00:22:58,388 --> 00:23:02,308
Speaker 3: what I need to work on. I mean, if Rabel

570
00:23:02,468 --> 00:23:06,028
Speaker 3: showed up Isaiah and you were in college and he's like,

571
00:23:06,108 --> 00:23:10,388
Speaker 3: here's one hundred people watching us and probably fifty cameras

572
00:23:10,388 --> 00:23:11,028
Speaker 3: and cell phones.

573
00:23:11,388 --> 00:23:13,748
Speaker 2: Are you happy about this? Are you like? How does

574
00:23:13,748 --> 00:23:16,428
Speaker 2: this make you feel? Because Rabel is not backing down

575
00:23:16,668 --> 00:23:17,028
Speaker 2: listen to.

576
00:23:17,428 --> 00:23:21,108
Speaker 9: It depends on what part of the workout he's coming up. Yeah,

577
00:23:22,148 --> 00:23:25,188
Speaker 9: but young man looks tired. Okay, Mike and Bradby wanted

578
00:23:25,308 --> 00:23:28,788
Speaker 9: all the smoke. I'm feeling sorry, bro, because you guys

579
00:23:28,828 --> 00:23:30,948
Speaker 9: already notice at the end of the workout, right, this

580
00:23:30,988 --> 00:23:32,708
Speaker 9: is a pro day. At the end of the pro day,

581
00:23:32,748 --> 00:23:33,988
Speaker 9: your gas, you're tired, you're.

582
00:23:33,908 --> 00:23:34,628
Speaker 7: Ready to get done.

583
00:23:34,708 --> 00:23:36,628
Speaker 5: And here comes Mike Brabel. Hey, let's go aha, let's

584
00:23:36,628 --> 00:23:37,588
Speaker 5: lock up real quick, right.

585
00:23:37,828 --> 00:23:40,068
Speaker 9: He comes with his best half done right, and he

586
00:23:40,188 --> 00:23:41,108
Speaker 9: wants all the smoke.

587
00:23:41,148 --> 00:23:42,148
Speaker 5: He's trying to lock him out.

588
00:23:42,268 --> 00:23:44,348
Speaker 9: The young man just wants some water, but Mike Gravele

589
00:23:44,428 --> 00:23:46,668
Speaker 9: was like, nah, I want that old thing back, like Stella,

590
00:23:46,868 --> 00:23:47,148
Speaker 9: let me.

591
00:23:47,068 --> 00:23:51,268
Speaker 6: See your hand, Mike Rabel, He purposely did it at

592
00:23:51,348 --> 00:23:54,668
Speaker 6: the end, I want to see how bad this kid

593
00:23:54,708 --> 00:23:55,548
Speaker 6: wants to stay now.

594
00:23:55,548 --> 00:23:56,588
Speaker 5: I also think that for.

595
00:23:56,588 --> 00:23:58,748
Speaker 6: Him, it's also an awkward situation to.

596
00:23:58,708 --> 00:23:59,468
Speaker 5: Be with a coach.

597
00:23:59,508 --> 00:24:02,588
Speaker 6: It's like do I go hard on you or do

598
00:24:02,668 --> 00:24:04,228
Speaker 6: I kind of take it light, because then you're gonna

599
00:24:04,548 --> 00:24:07,228
Speaker 6: have a comment on me and about how light I did.

600
00:24:07,268 --> 00:24:09,428
Speaker 6: But then if I just pancake you right here, coach,

601
00:24:09,668 --> 00:24:12,668
Speaker 6: that's also another issue here. I also think for me

602
00:24:12,788 --> 00:24:15,228
Speaker 6: in that situation, it would be the equivalent of if

603
00:24:15,228 --> 00:24:17,788
Speaker 6: I had like Mike Singletary or Demiko Ryan's come over

604
00:24:17,828 --> 00:24:20,108
Speaker 6: to my workout, Like I'd be geeked out of my mind,

605
00:24:20,148 --> 00:24:21,748
Speaker 6: you know what I mean, Like if I had one

606
00:24:21,748 --> 00:24:25,068
Speaker 6: of the legendary coaches that actually played my position.

607
00:24:25,028 --> 00:24:26,828
Speaker 5: Like Mike Rabel was in the trenches, you know what

608
00:24:26,828 --> 00:24:28,308
Speaker 5: I mean. So if he's over.

609
00:24:28,068 --> 00:24:29,988
Speaker 6: There, had I got his hands on I got my

610
00:24:29,988 --> 00:24:32,068
Speaker 6: hands on him, he got his hands on me, there's

611
00:24:32,108 --> 00:24:35,508
Speaker 6: almost like this all factory. You're like, yeah, I can't

612
00:24:35,508 --> 00:24:38,908
Speaker 6: believe I'm actually in this situation and just the opportunity

613
00:24:38,948 --> 00:24:39,468
Speaker 6: that is for me.

614
00:24:39,548 --> 00:24:41,308
Speaker 5: So what an opportunity that is for Like I have

615
00:24:41,348 --> 00:24:41,828
Speaker 5: to ask you.

616
00:24:41,708 --> 00:24:44,508
Speaker 4: Man, if Mike Singletary would have locked up with you.

617
00:24:44,388 --> 00:24:46,348
Speaker 9: You tell me you would have put him in the ground.

618
00:24:49,108 --> 00:24:50,428
Speaker 2: Existential crisis.

619
00:24:50,868 --> 00:24:54,588
Speaker 5: You look at me with those other coach, my bad coach.

620
00:24:54,708 --> 00:24:56,868
Speaker 3: Like the thing is is, it might not get your

621
00:24:56,948 --> 00:24:58,668
Speaker 3: job with the Patriots, but it might get your job

622
00:24:58,668 --> 00:24:59,708
Speaker 3: with one of the other thirty one.

623
00:25:01,588 --> 00:25:01,828
Speaker 5: Listen.

624
00:25:01,828 --> 00:25:03,948
Speaker 6: I think the Polynesian Football Hall of Fame game and

625
00:25:03,988 --> 00:25:07,228
Speaker 6: coach Singletary, he was one of the coaches there, and

626
00:25:07,348 --> 00:25:09,428
Speaker 6: the guy was doing all of the drills with the

627
00:25:09,468 --> 00:25:10,948
Speaker 6: high school kids, like he.

628
00:25:10,988 --> 00:25:13,028
Speaker 5: Was asking to change out his shoes so that.

629
00:25:12,988 --> 00:25:14,028
Speaker 4: He could go through the bags.

630
00:25:14,028 --> 00:25:16,108
Speaker 5: He had a whiteboard next to the linebackers.

631
00:25:16,188 --> 00:25:18,788
Speaker 6: So I know that the man still loves the game,

632
00:25:18,868 --> 00:25:20,988
Speaker 6: like he still has that firing him. And if I

633
00:25:21,028 --> 00:25:23,388
Speaker 6: had the opportunity to stand up in front of him

634
00:25:23,388 --> 00:25:25,628
Speaker 6: and do a drill like that Cobindo boy, that's like

635
00:25:25,668 --> 00:25:26,948
Speaker 6: Disneyland for a linebacker.

636
00:25:27,148 --> 00:25:29,508
Speaker 1: I think that's us as former players too, having that

637
00:25:29,588 --> 00:25:32,588
Speaker 1: muscle memory. Like Rabel wants to feel the hands, He

638
00:25:32,628 --> 00:25:34,748
Speaker 1: wanted to feel that grip, He wants to feel the pop.

639
00:25:34,868 --> 00:25:36,068
Speaker 1: He wants to you know what I mean. And I

640
00:25:36,108 --> 00:25:38,828
Speaker 1: think when you're a former player in that coaching position.

641
00:25:38,868 --> 00:25:41,028
Speaker 1: That's kind of what Rabel was trying to get right there.

642
00:25:41,228 --> 00:25:42,468
Speaker 1: I think I got a cool story when I.

643
00:25:42,468 --> 00:25:43,348
Speaker 4: Was in high school.

644
00:25:43,468 --> 00:25:46,628
Speaker 1: You know, former Virginia Tech head coach Brent Pride who's

645
00:25:46,668 --> 00:25:47,548
Speaker 1: now the DC there.

646
00:25:47,708 --> 00:25:49,348
Speaker 4: He came to my high school and he worked me out.

647
00:25:49,388 --> 00:25:51,868
Speaker 1: We got the bags all set up, everything, boom boom boom,

648
00:25:51,908 --> 00:25:54,148
Speaker 1: and just like you said, there's that awkward space like

649
00:25:54,188 --> 00:25:55,948
Speaker 1: do I go hard? Like I could really put my

650
00:25:55,948 --> 00:25:57,628
Speaker 1: coach in the ground, and I wanted to, but like

651
00:25:57,668 --> 00:26:00,068
Speaker 1: you know, eighteen year old Cobindi's still that nice guy.

652
00:26:00,108 --> 00:26:02,388
Speaker 1: And also like I'm kind of chilling trying to, you know,

653
00:26:02,428 --> 00:26:03,268
Speaker 1: go through the drills.

654
00:26:03,068 --> 00:26:06,948
Speaker 4: And coaches like the freaking bad I'm all right, I'm.

655
00:26:06,788 --> 00:26:09,028
Speaker 1: Gonna turn it on. I'm gonna turn it on. So

656
00:26:09,148 --> 00:26:10,788
Speaker 1: you know, we're five yards away from each other. I'm

657
00:26:10,788 --> 00:26:12,948
Speaker 1: coming downhill putting my hands on him. I put my

658
00:26:12,988 --> 00:26:14,828
Speaker 1: coach on the ground. As soon as say hit the

659
00:26:14,828 --> 00:26:16,948
Speaker 1: freaking back, I put him in the ground. He got

660
00:26:16,988 --> 00:26:18,788
Speaker 1: up geeking like that's what I'm talking about.

661
00:26:18,948 --> 00:26:21,228
Speaker 4: That's a big ten line back round. That's Penn State.

662
00:26:21,308 --> 00:26:25,468
Speaker 4: I said, hey, that that means that juice.

663
00:26:25,308 --> 00:26:27,148
Speaker 1: Out of you, knowing you have a coach that really

664
00:26:27,148 --> 00:26:28,748
Speaker 1: wants to put us you know, he wants to get

665
00:26:28,748 --> 00:26:29,228
Speaker 1: in there with you.

666
00:26:29,308 --> 00:26:31,548
Speaker 4: That that's awesome stuff. So I love seeing that.

667
00:26:31,508 --> 00:26:33,508
Speaker 9: That's one of that's one of the reasons why they

668
00:26:33,628 --> 00:26:35,508
Speaker 9: responded the way they responded the terms of the New

669
00:26:35,508 --> 00:26:36,708
Speaker 9: England Patriots did this year.

670
00:26:36,788 --> 00:26:39,988
Speaker 4: You have a coach that.

671
00:26:39,348 --> 00:26:42,388
Speaker 9: That you can look at and you know they understand.

672
00:26:42,788 --> 00:26:45,748
Speaker 9: You have a coach that responds and they know what

673
00:26:45,828 --> 00:26:47,948
Speaker 9: the trenches feel like. They know what your body feels like.

674
00:26:48,108 --> 00:26:51,668
Speaker 9: You can't complain right and instinctively, most as human beings,

675
00:26:51,708 --> 00:26:54,028
Speaker 9: we want to complain about something. Last former players, as

676
00:26:54,068 --> 00:26:56,228
Speaker 9: soon as you go to complain, you're like, yeah, I'm

677
00:26:56,268 --> 00:26:58,348
Speaker 9: glad to go ahead and take that one in because

678
00:26:58,348 --> 00:26:58,988
Speaker 9: he understands.

679
00:26:59,028 --> 00:27:00,508
Speaker 4: So getting in there with the trenches with him. You

680
00:27:00,508 --> 00:27:01,068
Speaker 4: gotta love it.

681
00:27:01,388 --> 00:27:03,748
Speaker 3: That man invited you as a senior of high senior

682
00:27:03,788 --> 00:27:05,628
Speaker 3: in high school to be like, take me down on

683
00:27:05,748 --> 00:27:06,228
Speaker 3: this tackle.

684
00:27:06,908 --> 00:27:09,228
Speaker 1: Came to my high school, had all the bags already

685
00:27:09,268 --> 00:27:11,268
Speaker 1: set up. I had no idea like I was working

686
00:27:11,268 --> 00:27:13,108
Speaker 1: out there. I was just gonna meet coach. He told

687
00:27:13,108 --> 00:27:14,308
Speaker 1: me to go get changed. He was gonna do a

688
00:27:14,308 --> 00:27:16,068
Speaker 1: little work. Guy like thirty minutes. We're out there for

689
00:27:16,108 --> 00:27:18,388
Speaker 1: like an hour and a half, oh hour and a half, gas,

690
00:27:18,388 --> 00:27:21,308
Speaker 1: a conditioning ad in and everything. Like he wanted to

691
00:27:21,308 --> 00:27:24,428
Speaker 1: make sure, like is does this dude deserve this scholarship

692
00:27:24,428 --> 00:27:26,908
Speaker 1: because at the time Penn State was still recovering from

693
00:27:26,908 --> 00:27:29,068
Speaker 1: the sanctions, they only had fifteen.

694
00:27:28,668 --> 00:27:30,628
Speaker 4: I think Scotts about that year, So.

695
00:27:30,548 --> 00:27:33,228
Speaker 1: Every single Scots for there are like, you know, it mattered,

696
00:27:33,388 --> 00:27:34,748
Speaker 1: you gotta make sure this dude earned it.

697
00:27:34,788 --> 00:27:35,948
Speaker 4: So that's a great story.

698
00:27:36,028 --> 00:27:37,708
Speaker 6: But you tied up that tin shot where you said

699
00:27:37,708 --> 00:27:40,748
Speaker 6: to us, I was you wanted to get mine.

700
00:27:43,668 --> 00:27:46,588
Speaker 3: We just got done talking about Mike Brabel's participation in

701
00:27:46,748 --> 00:27:49,708
Speaker 3: Pro Day. Recently, in his one year away from the NFL.

702
00:27:49,748 --> 00:27:52,788
Speaker 3: After returning to New England, Brabel spent time with Ohio

703
00:27:52,868 --> 00:27:55,308
Speaker 3: State's football program. So Sherry Burris, he might know a

704
00:27:55,308 --> 00:27:57,228
Speaker 3: thing or two about the prospect we're going to talk about.

705
00:27:57,308 --> 00:27:58,148
Speaker 2: Absolutely and Jimmy.

706
00:27:58,188 --> 00:28:00,148
Speaker 14: We look at the combine and there were a lot

707
00:28:00,188 --> 00:28:02,868
Speaker 14: of elite guys coming out of Ohio State. One of

708
00:28:02,868 --> 00:28:05,748
Speaker 14: them is Caleb Downs is the number one safety on

709
00:28:05,828 --> 00:28:07,108
Speaker 14: Bucky Brooks's position.

710
00:28:06,948 --> 00:28:08,788
Speaker 2: Rankings for this upcoming draft.

711
00:28:08,988 --> 00:28:11,468
Speaker 14: We'll learn a little bit more about this draft prospect

712
00:28:11,748 --> 00:28:18,188
Speaker 14: and what he'll break to the team who drafts him.

713
00:28:18,628 --> 00:28:21,428
Speaker 13: And there's Caleb Downs, the brains of this operation.

714
00:28:21,668 --> 00:28:24,068
Speaker 15: I would say my mind is my biggest separator.

715
00:28:24,148 --> 00:28:26,628
Speaker 7: Honestly, he's been activated for two years.

716
00:28:26,828 --> 00:28:30,548
Speaker 15: What said, it's Caleb Down being able to play with

717
00:28:30,628 --> 00:28:32,868
Speaker 15: instincts and trust in my thought process.

718
00:28:32,508 --> 00:28:34,828
Speaker 10: And against drill by one of the top players in

719
00:28:34,908 --> 00:28:36,148
Speaker 10: all of college football.

720
00:28:36,148 --> 00:28:36,668
Speaker 4: Club Down.

721
00:28:36,708 --> 00:28:38,468
Speaker 15: The way that I see the game is very special

722
00:28:38,588 --> 00:28:40,868
Speaker 15: and allows me to anticipate things and make.

723
00:28:40,748 --> 00:28:43,268
Speaker 5: Plays intercepted tale up.

724
00:28:43,268 --> 00:28:45,868
Speaker 15: Down just from feeling like they're going to happen.

725
00:28:46,308 --> 00:28:51,428
Speaker 5: Calum Downs pick to Clayton. A lot of your dreams.

726
00:28:52,548 --> 00:28:54,748
Speaker 15: Those kids in my sixth grade class that could solve

727
00:28:54,748 --> 00:28:56,708
Speaker 15: a Rubik's Cube, and I wanted to be one of

728
00:28:56,748 --> 00:28:58,748
Speaker 15: those kids that would do that, And I stayed up.

729
00:28:59,588 --> 00:29:01,628
Speaker 15: Have you asked my parents night, and they watching YouTube

730
00:29:01,708 --> 00:29:04,148
Speaker 15: videos trying to memorize the codes to be able to

731
00:29:04,188 --> 00:29:06,708
Speaker 15: solve it, and I ended up being able to do it.

732
00:29:06,708 --> 00:29:09,428
Speaker 15: And now those codes are engraved in my mind.

733
00:29:09,708 --> 00:29:10,548
Speaker 5: Caleb Downs.

734
00:29:10,588 --> 00:29:13,548
Speaker 3: I'll tell you, man, this army knife of college football.

735
00:29:13,948 --> 00:29:23,428
Speaker 15: Caleb Downs, dB Ohio State. My brother Josh Downs, He's

736
00:29:24,148 --> 00:29:26,268
Speaker 15: playing for the Colt right now, Josh.

737
00:29:26,028 --> 00:29:28,588
Speaker 5: Downs with a nifty move on the outside.

738
00:29:28,668 --> 00:29:30,908
Speaker 15: That would be a real moment for our family to

739
00:29:30,948 --> 00:29:32,588
Speaker 15: have us both on the field. I'm sure my mom

740
00:29:32,628 --> 00:29:35,668
Speaker 15: would love it. She would probably have a house Divided shirt.

741
00:29:35,908 --> 00:29:39,268
Speaker 15: It'll be great when that situation comes up. Me and

742
00:29:39,268 --> 00:29:41,548
Speaker 15: my brother have a podcast. It's just an opportunity to

743
00:29:41,548 --> 00:29:42,548
Speaker 15: have a conversation with him.

744
00:29:42,548 --> 00:29:42,948
Speaker 7: Every week.

745
00:29:43,028 --> 00:29:44,468

746
00:29:44,548 --> 00:29:48,828

Speaker 1: Me down right time.

752
00:30:01,428 --> 00:30:03,388
Speaker 15: You just had the biggest impact on my life, honestly,

753
00:30:03,668 --> 00:30:06,428
Speaker 15: not even just in terms of football, but as a man,

754
00:30:06,508 --> 00:30:08,908
Speaker 15: how you raise a family, how you operate in terms

755
00:30:08,948 --> 00:30:10,908
Speaker 15: of your faith. My faith is the biggest part of

756
00:30:10,908 --> 00:30:13,388
Speaker 15: my life, and he instilled that in me. That respect

757
00:30:13,428 --> 00:30:16,708
Speaker 15: for him grew from that as well. I feel like

758
00:30:16,708 --> 00:30:19,148
Speaker 15: you're getting a special person in your facility. I mean, yeah,

759
00:30:19,148 --> 00:30:20,908
Speaker 15: I can play ball and you can watch the film

760
00:30:20,948 --> 00:30:23,988
Speaker 15: and make a decision based off of that, but you're

761
00:30:24,028 --> 00:30:25,988
Speaker 15: also getting a person that can come into your facility

762
00:30:25,988 --> 00:30:27,108
Speaker 15: and affect the people's lives.

763
00:30:27,588 --> 00:30:28,348
Speaker 7: That's really all that.

764
00:30:28,388 --> 00:30:30,468
Speaker 15: People are going to remember how you made them feel.

765
00:30:30,668 --> 00:30:32,388
Speaker 15: That's what you're getting. You're getting somebody to come in

766
00:30:32,388 --> 00:30:33,668
Speaker 15: your facility and make an impact.

767
00:30:37,588 --> 00:30:40,308
Speaker 14: Shouting off those good hands. Even with the sparkly football,

768
00:30:40,308 --> 00:30:42,748
Speaker 14: we saw it. He is the family pedigree. He's already

769
00:30:42,868 --> 00:30:45,948
Speaker 14: media savvy with his own podcast. In his latest mock

770
00:30:46,028 --> 00:30:48,988
Speaker 14: draft our, Daniel Jeremiah has down to going tenth overall

771
00:30:49,108 --> 00:30:52,028
Speaker 14: to the Bengals. Cominda, we were talking about this before

772
00:30:52,108 --> 00:30:55,268
Speaker 14: the show. Wisconsin grad here, you're a Penn Stater. You

773
00:30:55,388 --> 00:30:57,788
Speaker 14: gotta love that Big ten football, and man, that kid

774
00:30:57,828 --> 00:30:58,628
Speaker 14: is a hard hitter.

775
00:30:58,708 --> 00:31:01,228
Speaker 1: What do you think best conference in college football? Big ten?

776
00:31:01,308 --> 00:31:02,908
Speaker 4: And I love this kid.

777
00:31:02,788 --> 00:31:05,548
Speaker 1: Caleb Downs. You put all this his tape. Physically, you

778
00:31:05,628 --> 00:31:08,428
Speaker 1: love the tackling, you love the turnovers, you love the instincts.

779
00:31:08,708 --> 00:31:10,868
Speaker 1: And I think one thing that the NFL coaches are

780
00:31:10,868 --> 00:31:12,268
Speaker 1: going to love the most is that he played under

781
00:31:12,268 --> 00:31:15,628
Speaker 1: Matt Patricia. And Matt Patricia's all about disguise. If you

782
00:31:15,668 --> 00:31:17,508
Speaker 1: play in that defense, you got to.

783
00:31:17,468 --> 00:31:19,148
Speaker 4: Know all of the positions.

784
00:31:18,628 --> 00:31:20,948
Speaker 1: Because he loves this guys in the quarterback Okay, you

785
00:31:20,948 --> 00:31:23,708
Speaker 1: want to motion wide receivers over all, Right, we're not changing.

786
00:31:23,788 --> 00:31:26,028
Speaker 1: It looks like, man, but we're staying in zone. Just

787
00:31:26,028 --> 00:31:28,668
Speaker 1: that everyone's responsibility is going to change across the board.

788
00:31:28,828 --> 00:31:30,948
Speaker 1: And that's what I love about Caleb Downs is by

789
00:31:30,988 --> 00:31:34,028
Speaker 1: playing under Matt Patricia, he probably learned a lot about

790
00:31:34,028 --> 00:31:35,108
Speaker 1: everyone all over the field.

791
00:31:35,188 --> 00:31:37,708
Speaker 6: Yeah, I think the best thing about that this young man,

792
00:31:37,788 --> 00:31:39,268
Speaker 6: Caleb Downs is one word.

793
00:31:39,348 --> 00:31:40,228
Speaker 5: It translates.

794
00:31:40,428 --> 00:31:42,828
Speaker 6: Right, if you are a general manager, if you're anybody

795
00:31:42,908 --> 00:31:46,788
Speaker 6: that's looking to draft somebody to come over to your team,

796
00:31:46,828 --> 00:31:48,828
Speaker 6: to your franchise and make an impact, you're trying to

00:31:54,948 --> 00:31:58,148
Speaker 5: He's a smart football player. He plays all over the field.

800
00:31:58,348 --> 00:32:00,468
Speaker 6: He plays in the backfield at times making.

801
00:32:00,188 --> 00:32:01,388
Speaker 5: Tackles on running backs.

802
00:32:01,508 --> 00:32:03,228

Speaker 17: you know, just kind of. I don't know if I

949
00:37:42,268 --> 00:37:43,908
Speaker 17: can get my pad level right, or if I had

950
00:37:44,028 --> 00:37:44,628
Speaker 17: strong hands.

951
00:37:44,628 --> 00:37:46,668
Speaker 7: I don't know what he's trying to test, or he

952
00:37:46,868 --> 00:37:47,828
Speaker 7: just missed the game.

953
00:37:47,868 --> 00:37:51,668
Speaker 17: I don't know, but uh yeah, Bravery was a vera

954
00:37:51,748 --> 00:37:52,868
Speaker 17: hands on, god great coach.

955
00:37:53,028 --> 00:37:53,748
Speaker 2: That's really cool.

956
00:37:53,828 --> 00:37:57,428
Speaker 3: Jalen, You're wonderful at telling stories, which is why the

957
00:37:57,468 --> 00:38:00,108
Speaker 3: next phase of your life, whenever you are done playing

958
00:38:00,148 --> 00:38:02,388
Speaker 3: in the NFL, will come easily to you. And that's

959
00:38:02,388 --> 00:38:05,188
Speaker 3: because you were an associate producer. Were a new series

960
00:38:05,268 --> 00:38:08,628
Speaker 3: called Freelance and it was screened at the Sundance Film Festival.

961
00:38:08,828 --> 00:38:11,188
Speaker 2: What's up with this project? How'd you get involved in us?

962
00:38:11,828 --> 00:38:14,468
Speaker 7: It's crazy. I got involved with that just you know.

963
00:38:14,548 --> 00:38:19,148
Speaker 17: The directors, Julian and Justin Turner, their parents are my neighbors.

964
00:38:18,828 --> 00:38:21,068
Speaker 7: And we had like a community event and you know,

965
00:38:21,188 --> 00:38:22,508
Speaker 7: from there we just hit it off.

966
00:38:22,628 --> 00:38:25,308
Speaker 17: They came past the house, their kids played with my kids,

967
00:38:25,348 --> 00:38:28,628
Speaker 17: and then, you know, I had an opportunity to jump

968
00:38:28,668 --> 00:38:31,668
Speaker 17: on this project towards the end, and I wanted to

969
00:38:31,748 --> 00:38:34,548
Speaker 17: just you know, learn because I went to an NFL

970
00:38:34,588 --> 00:38:36,988
Speaker 17: program a couple of years back and I met with

971
00:38:37,268 --> 00:38:38,148
Speaker 17: Dion Taylor.

972
00:38:37,948 --> 00:38:39,508
Speaker 7: That he opened my eyes to everything.

973
00:38:39,548 --> 00:38:41,428
Speaker 17: And then Julie and Justin kind of gave me my

974
00:38:41,468 --> 00:38:44,348
Speaker 17: first opportunity to participate in something as hands on as

975
00:38:44,348 --> 00:38:44,668
Speaker 17: I did.

976
00:38:45,108 --> 00:38:47,188
Speaker 9: And Jayalen, first of all, kudos on onto that.

983
00:38:56,988 --> 00:38:58,268
Speaker 9: that project. What were some of the things that you

984
00:38:58,348 --> 00:38:59,388
Speaker 9: were doing behind the camera.

985
00:38:59,508 --> 00:39:01,948

Speaker 17: Able to see Julian and Justin work so hands on

989
00:39:10,268 --> 00:39:12,588

00:39:13,828 --> 00:39:17,548
Speaker 17: Project as well, just seeing everything that go on to

992
00:39:17,668 --> 00:39:19,868
Speaker 17: make a film, and it's a lot similar to an

993
00:39:19,948 --> 00:39:22,668
Speaker 17: NFL sideline, As you guys know, during the game, it's

994
00:39:22,668 --> 00:39:25,108
Speaker 17: so chaotic, there's so much stuff going on and sometimes

995
00:39:25,108 --> 00:39:25,828
Speaker 17: you gotta pivot.

996
00:39:26,548 --> 00:39:28,828
Speaker 7: It may not go as planned, but you still got.

997
00:39:28,708 --> 00:39:31,188
Speaker 17: To execute and perform and to be able to be

998
00:39:31,228 --> 00:39:33,308
Speaker 17: in that environment and add some value.

999
00:39:33,348 --> 00:39:36,748
Speaker 7: Man, get in the sun, dance. Man, it's just a blessing.

1000
00:39:36,788 --> 00:39:39,468
Speaker 6: Winning on and off the football field, jail, and that's

1001
00:39:39,468 --> 00:39:41,068
Speaker 6: what it's all about. I read that one of your

1002
00:39:41,108 --> 00:39:43,508
Speaker 6: goals is to write and direct the film. Is there

1003
00:39:43,508 --> 00:39:46,388
Speaker 6: an experience or a moment from your football life you

1004
00:39:46,388 --> 00:39:48,188
Speaker 6: would want to write a movie about.

1005
00:39:48,428 --> 00:39:50,548
Speaker 17: Yeah, man, I'm actually in the process of doing something

1006
00:39:50,548 --> 00:39:53,908
Speaker 17: like that right now. And the experience that I'm using

1007
00:39:54,028 --> 00:39:56,388
Speaker 17: is actually when I got released last year from the

1008
00:39:56,508 --> 00:39:59,068
Speaker 17: manager got I got a weird way of thinking, but

1009
00:39:59,108 --> 00:40:02,308
Speaker 17: I found a way to kind of like laugh at that,

1010
00:40:02,508 --> 00:40:05,548
Speaker 17: because I mean, yes, it was a f and that sense,

1011
00:40:05,588 --> 00:40:08,268
Speaker 17: it was a loss, but I was able to reconnect

1012
00:40:08,268 --> 00:40:10,708
Speaker 17: with myself and gain a different perspective and I gained

1013
00:40:10,788 --> 00:40:13,108
Speaker 17: so much from that, and I eventually got signed back

1014
00:40:13,108 --> 00:40:14,748
Speaker 17: and we got you know, finished out the year with

1015
00:40:14,788 --> 00:40:17,668
Speaker 17: the Commanders. But it's just a learning lesson that I

1016
00:40:17,668 --> 00:40:20,028
Speaker 17: feel like I could make relatable to you know, to

1017
00:40:20,388 --> 00:40:23,228
Speaker 17: to the public and also, you know, kind of make.

1018
00:40:23,108 --> 00:40:23,988
Speaker 7: Fun of it a little bit.

1019
00:40:24,588 --> 00:40:27,068
Speaker 3: People like a dark comedy, they like it come from

1020
00:40:27,148 --> 00:40:29,748
Speaker 3: behind story. They like rise from the ashes and hope

1021
00:40:29,788 --> 00:40:32,228
Speaker 3: the ultimate success as well. Jalen, awesome to chat with

00:40:43,348 --> 00:40:45,348
Speaker 3: this past weekend, and we said no time in making

1027
00:40:45,388 --> 00:40:48,988
Speaker 3: football history. Courtesy of DC defenders kicker Matt mccrane.

1028
00:40:49,188 --> 00:40:49,708
Speaker 2: Take a look.

1029
00:40:50,428 --> 00:40:53,388
Speaker 5: Now, this is going to be a sixty yard field goal, folks.

1030
00:40:53,388 --> 00:40:55,828
Speaker 5: It will be for four points. That's part of the

1031
00:40:55,828 --> 00:40:57,108
Speaker 5: new rules in the UFL.

1032
00:40:57,748 --> 00:40:59,748
Speaker 4: Co Crane got it up.

1033
00:41:00,468 --> 00:41:01,628
Speaker 7: The score four.

1034
00:41:02,468 --> 00:41:05,948
Speaker 13: The Defenders take a four a thing lead on the

1035
00:41:06,028 --> 00:41:09,468
Speaker 13: league's first sixty yard field.

1036
00:41:09,148 --> 00:41:11,668
Speaker 5: Goal for four points.

1037
00:41:11,748 --> 00:41:12,468
Speaker 7: He booted that.

1038
00:41:12,628 --> 00:41:16,748
Speaker 2: He just walked away Swiger. Fantastic, all right.

1039
00:41:16,828 --> 00:41:18,348
Speaker 3: So that's one of the many new rules in the

1040
00:41:18,428 --> 00:41:21,588
Speaker 3: UFL that includes no puns inside the opponent's fifty. You

1041
00:41:21,628 --> 00:41:24,108
Speaker 3: only need one foot in bounds to make a catch.

1042
00:41:24,348 --> 00:41:26,348
Speaker 3: And if you want purity in the game, there's.

1043
00:41:26,148 --> 00:41:27,428
Speaker 2: No touch push in the UFL.

1044
00:41:27,468 --> 00:41:30,588
Speaker 3: So, guys, the four pointer on the sixty yarder or

1045
00:41:30,588 --> 00:41:31,828
Speaker 3: further a manta your.

1046
00:41:31,668 --> 00:41:34,428
Speaker 6: Thoughts like, that's a Dan Campbell rule, Like, don't punt

1047
00:41:34,468 --> 00:41:35,228
Speaker 6: within the fifty?

1048
00:41:35,428 --> 00:41:36,588
Speaker 4: Why are you doing that? After?

1049
00:41:36,668 --> 00:41:39,028
Speaker 5: We ain't going for no field goals like this rule.

1050
00:41:39,148 --> 00:41:41,268
Speaker 5: They shouldn't make it in the NFL four points for.

1051
00:41:41,268 --> 00:41:42,908
Speaker 6: All field goals because I don't even think they'll go

1052
00:41:42,948 --> 00:41:45,268
Speaker 6: for the field goal anyway. In the NFL, they're training turns.

1053
00:41:45,588 --> 00:41:47,788
Speaker 6: You're on the twenty chick the field goal coach, Now

1054
00:41:47,788 --> 00:41:49,348
Speaker 6: we're going to go for this thing on fourth and one.

1055
00:41:49,388 --> 00:41:50,348
Speaker 5: You could make the field goal.

1056
00:41:50,428 --> 00:41:51,308
Speaker 1: I think they would have to make.

1057
00:41:51,268 --> 00:41:51,868
Speaker 5: The field goal the.

1058
00:41:51,868 --> 00:41:54,148
Speaker 6: Equivalent to a touchdown for some of our coaches that

1059
00:41:54,228 --> 00:41:54,548
Speaker 6: go for it.

1060
00:41:54,588 --> 00:41:55,188
Speaker 5: Boys, what do you think?

1061
00:41:55,348 --> 00:41:55,908
Speaker 4: I love it man.

1062
00:41:55,948 --> 00:41:57,788
Speaker 9: I was a part of the XFIL on the executive

1063
00:41:57,788 --> 00:41:59,748
Speaker 9: side of things back in twenty twenty in the relaunch,

1064
00:41:59,788 --> 00:42:02,308
Speaker 9: and we actually instilled the kickoff rule that the NFL

1065
00:42:02,388 --> 00:42:05,548
Speaker 9: has now adopted. So I am all about and now

1066
00:42:05,548 --> 00:42:07,668
Speaker 9: in the UFL trying out new things and seeing it

1067
00:42:07,788 --> 00:42:08,708
Speaker 9: exactly how it works.

1068
00:42:08,828 --> 00:42:09,308
Speaker 4: Four points.

1069
00:42:09,348 --> 00:42:10,228
Speaker 5: Give these kickers some love.

1070
00:42:10,268 --> 00:42:11,548
Speaker 4: They need to put some respect on their game.

1071
00:42:11,788 --> 00:42:14,828
Speaker 3: The UFL Week two schedule rolls on Saturday night a
