1
00:00:01,720 --> 00:00:03,879
Speaker 1: All start to what you want to presents. Off the

2
00:00:03,879 --> 00:00:06,799
bench with Jacob Hester and T Bob Abert.

3
00:00:06,919 --> 00:00:09,039
Speaker 2: Yeah yeah, yeah, yeah yeah.

4
00:00:09,119 --> 00:00:12,279
Speaker 1: Off the bench with Jacob Hester and Bob Abert.

5
00:00:12,839 --> 00:00:14,279
Speaker 3: I gotta come off the bench now.

6
00:00:14,480 --> 00:00:23,000
Speaker 1: Here's Jacob Hester and T Bob Abert.

7
00:00:23,960 --> 00:00:27,920
Speaker 4: We are live here in Mobile, Alabama at the Rees's

8
00:00:28,399 --> 00:00:31,399
Senior Bowl. A few years in a row. Now we've

9
00:00:31,440 --> 00:00:34,200
done this. Very excited to be here. Cannot wait for

10
00:00:34,280 --> 00:00:37,399
this week? Can I wait to see who emerges this week,

11
00:00:37,439 --> 00:00:39,920
who we get to talk to, who we learn about

12
00:00:40,799 --> 00:00:43,280
I mean, Jake, I can't help but but you know

13
00:00:43,320 --> 00:00:47,359
I'm watching those games yesterday and who has that incredible

14
00:00:47,399 --> 00:00:51,320
interception at the end of the Eagles commandage game, Quinyan Mitchell.

15
00:00:51,320 --> 00:00:54,119
Where's the first time I ever heard of queny and Mitchell?

16
00:00:54,560 --> 00:00:56,880
Last year here when everybody all of a sudden is

17
00:00:56,880 --> 00:01:00,240
talking about that Toledo cornerback who's just cooking everyone. So

18
00:01:00,960 --> 00:01:04,319
this is the time of year in which the entire

19
00:01:04,480 --> 00:01:08,920
football world descends upon Mobile, Alabama, and we are very

20
00:01:09,000 --> 00:01:11,040
excited to be here once again.

21
00:01:11,280 --> 00:01:12,239
Speaker 2: Yeah, you're right about that.

22
00:01:12,439 --> 00:01:14,560
Speaker 5: I mean, he had a great Senior Bowl last year,

23
00:01:14,599 --> 00:01:16,400
and it was so cool to see him calling out

24
00:01:16,439 --> 00:01:17,920
people you remember by school.

25
00:01:18,120 --> 00:01:19,840
Speaker 2: Yeah, he wasn't calling him out by name.

26
00:01:19,840 --> 00:01:23,480
Speaker 5: He's like Michigan, Georgia, Florida, and just kept pointing to

27
00:01:23,560 --> 00:01:26,480
people and it was like really good receivers like Ricky

28
00:01:26,519 --> 00:01:29,319
Piersaw I remember was one of those receivers.

29
00:01:29,840 --> 00:01:33,000
Speaker 4: Roman Wilson was one of those receivers. And so yeah,

30
00:01:33,000 --> 00:01:35,120
he look, this is like a week that he came

31
00:01:35,159 --> 00:01:38,040
down here. I think like it was a deep cut.

32
00:01:38,120 --> 00:01:40,519
Speaker 5: You know, some people knew about him, but I know,

33
00:01:40,760 --> 00:01:43,560
look hand up, like I barely had heard his name right,

34
00:01:43,599 --> 00:01:46,000
and he comes and he was probably one of the stars.

35
00:01:46,000 --> 00:01:48,879
I mean, Lavakonki was certainly another. But that's what's great

36
00:01:48,879 --> 00:01:50,760
about this week. You're going to see people that maybe

37
00:01:50,760 --> 00:01:53,319
they're not household names right now, but they will be

38
00:01:53,400 --> 00:01:54,159
by the end of the week.

39
00:01:54,400 --> 00:01:57,840
Speaker 4: Now, speaking of household names here the Senior Bowl this week,

40
00:01:57,920 --> 00:02:01,560
I do feel like the quarterbacks lot of name recognition here,

41
00:02:01,560 --> 00:02:04,159
more so maybe than last year, last couple of years.

42
00:02:04,159 --> 00:02:06,560
You've got Jackson Dart up here, Jalen Milroe, that's gonna

43
00:02:06,560 --> 00:02:10,120
be fascinating to see, Tyler Schuck's here, Dylan Gabriel's, Riley

44
00:02:10,199 --> 00:02:14,080
Leonard obviously somebody who has been on the you know,

45
00:02:14,159 --> 00:02:16,840
the main stage here as of late. And then Seth

46
00:02:16,919 --> 00:02:19,919
hitting it from from Memphis, who I only know about

47
00:02:19,919 --> 00:02:22,759
from getting cooked by him in NCAA and the AAC.

48
00:02:23,120 --> 00:02:25,719
Speaker 2: But look, the bottom line is there's.

49
00:02:25,560 --> 00:02:27,759
Speaker 4: A ton of great players here, a ton of LSUE

50
00:02:28,000 --> 00:02:28,840
representatives here.

51
00:02:28,879 --> 00:02:30,080
Speaker 2: It's gonna be a great week.

52
00:02:30,159 --> 00:02:32,240
Speaker 4: We'll be a practice every day, no practice to day

53
00:02:32,280 --> 00:02:36,560
practice every day after this, whole practice reports, potential Saints targets.

54
00:02:36,199 --> 00:02:37,639
Speaker 2: All of this and more.

55
00:02:37,680 --> 00:02:40,800
Speaker 4: I remember Louisiana Sports dotting at Ross Jackson down here

56
00:02:40,800 --> 00:02:42,560
as well doing all of your Saints coverage. You can

57
00:02:42,639 --> 00:02:45,879
get all of your Louisiana sports there. So it's it's

58
00:02:45,879 --> 00:02:47,639
gonna be great. Jake, what players are you?

59
00:02:47,719 --> 00:02:48,000
Speaker 2: Maybe?

60
00:02:48,319 --> 00:02:50,520
Speaker 4: Do you have any players that you're kind of looking

61
00:02:50,599 --> 00:02:53,199
forward to watching this week to maybe aren't.

62
00:02:52,800 --> 00:02:56,240
Speaker 2: Just one of the quarterbacks. We talked about it kind

63
00:02:56,240 --> 00:02:57,919
of on the way down last night.

64
00:02:57,960 --> 00:03:00,479
Speaker 5: I mean, is a great roster and and hopefully we

65
00:03:00,520 --> 00:03:02,680
can catch up with a lot of these these players there.

66
00:03:02,879 --> 00:03:04,960
Obviously Cam Skataboo is going to be a player, and

67
00:03:05,000 --> 00:03:08,039
I know people like that that I want to watch,

68
00:03:08,080 --> 00:03:10,400
but I do I want to see how somebody like that,

69
00:03:10,479 --> 00:03:13,000
how do they integrate themselves against the best of the best,

70
00:03:13,039 --> 00:03:15,280
Because he showed out on the biggest stage that he

71
00:03:15,400 --> 00:03:18,039
was one, right, you know there against Texas and the

72
00:03:18,039 --> 00:03:19,840
Peach Bowl, and so like, those are players that I

73
00:03:19,879 --> 00:03:22,439
want to see, like, we know you're really good. Here's

74
00:03:22,479 --> 00:03:24,840
your opportunity to show that you're one of the best

75
00:03:24,840 --> 00:03:26,919
of the best. And you mentioned the quarterback class. It's

76
00:03:26,919 --> 00:03:29,520
hard not to sit there and just look name after

77
00:03:29,599 --> 00:03:32,159
name after name, and we got the two national championship,

78
00:03:32,199 --> 00:03:36,520
you know, quarterbacks. I think Will Howard was originally going

79
00:03:36,560 --> 00:03:38,039
to be in this game, and I'm not sure if

80
00:03:38,039 --> 00:03:39,240
he comes down here.

81
00:03:39,080 --> 00:03:39,400
Speaker 2: And if.

82
00:03:41,199 --> 00:03:44,280
Speaker 5: And if he does anything, but I gets a big

83
00:03:44,319 --> 00:03:46,360
week for Riley Leonard too. Like a lot of people

84
00:03:46,400 --> 00:03:48,400
say he's not a pro quarterback, he can't do a

85
00:03:48,520 --> 00:03:51,000
B and C. Well, I mean Riley Leonard's showing his

86
00:03:51,080 --> 00:03:52,680
career a duke and Notre Dame that he can get

87
00:03:52,680 --> 00:03:54,159
all the things done, and so it's gonna be a

88
00:03:54,199 --> 00:03:57,360
big week for him. Tess Johnson's a player that hopefully

89
00:03:57,400 --> 00:03:59,199
we catch up with here in a couple of minutes

90
00:03:59,199 --> 00:04:02,400
from Oregon. He's got a great story being from Birmingham, Alabama,

91
00:04:02,840 --> 00:04:04,960
going to Troy. Now he gets to kind of come

92
00:04:04,960 --> 00:04:07,120
back home to his home state and it's gonna be

93
00:04:07,120 --> 00:04:08,960
a big states for him. So there's a lot of storylines,

94
00:04:09,000 --> 00:04:11,479
a ton of them throughout the week. But you know me,

95
00:04:11,560 --> 00:04:13,319
I mean camp Scattabooy's got to be the guy most

96
00:04:13,319 --> 00:04:13,879
excited about.

97
00:04:13,960 --> 00:04:15,800
Speaker 4: I was gonna say, y'all thought I was crushing on

98
00:04:15,879 --> 00:04:19,480
Sam Hartman last year, just wait until you get Jake

99
00:04:20,079 --> 00:04:21,319
interviewing Cam here.

100
00:04:23,319 --> 00:04:26,360
Speaker 5: It's not that, it's I kind of see myself in

101
00:04:26,879 --> 00:04:30,319
his story of no matter what, you know, know what

102
00:04:30,319 --> 00:04:31,920
what you know, he kind of went out there and

103
00:04:31,959 --> 00:04:34,279
he did it. But everybody's always like yeah, but it

104
00:04:34,319 --> 00:04:36,639
was a lot of yeah, but he can't do this

105
00:04:36,800 --> 00:04:38,399
at the next level, and I think he can.

106
00:04:38,639 --> 00:04:40,680
Speaker 2: And this is what this week is, you know.

107
00:04:40,759 --> 00:04:42,519
Speaker 5: For like for me, I had to prove that I

108
00:04:42,519 --> 00:04:45,720
could play fullback during the week of the Senior Bowl,

109
00:04:45,759 --> 00:04:47,160
and so like, I see a lot of the same

110
00:04:47,279 --> 00:04:49,480
like and I see the drive too that he has

111
00:04:49,519 --> 00:04:51,839
and to kind of prove people wrong. And so I

112
00:04:51,920 --> 00:04:53,439
think that's what it is more than anything.

113
00:04:53,600 --> 00:04:59,959
Speaker 4: Yeah, without a doubt, real recognize real, and y'all are

114
00:05:00,079 --> 00:05:03,000
others from another mother essentially in terms of kind of

115
00:05:03,040 --> 00:05:06,319
how how y'all play the game, career, all of that.

116
00:05:06,360 --> 00:05:08,839
So I'm really excited to watch him at practice as well.

117
00:05:09,279 --> 00:05:12,279
Excited to see these guys how they handle the riggers

118
00:05:12,319 --> 00:05:16,720
of the week. As you know, there's a ton of

119
00:05:17,079 --> 00:05:19,480
mental and physical pressure when it comes to the practice

120
00:05:19,600 --> 00:05:21,160
doing well once to have, but clear if you get

121
00:05:21,199 --> 00:05:23,399
beaten a rep, not overly stressing it going to the

122
00:05:23,399 --> 00:05:26,120
next rep. But then even when you're not on the

123
00:05:26,120 --> 00:05:30,800
practice field here, you're constantly in meetings with coaches. They

124
00:05:30,800 --> 00:05:33,800
make you do some media car washes as well as

125
00:05:33,800 --> 00:05:37,399
they're really trying to exhaust guys over the week and

126
00:05:37,439 --> 00:05:39,759
figure out who can stand up physically but also who

127
00:05:39,839 --> 00:05:43,079
can stand up mentally. So it's gonna be something that

128
00:05:43,639 --> 00:05:47,319
we keep an eye on. So, as I said, we

129
00:05:47,360 --> 00:05:50,720
are very very excited to be here down here mobile.

130
00:05:50,879 --> 00:05:53,120
We'll continue to talk to sing your Bowl, interview guys

131
00:05:53,120 --> 00:05:55,480
as they come up, but first let's go ahead and

132
00:05:56,519 --> 00:05:57,639
get this thing started.

133
00:05:58,399 --> 00:06:01,240
Speaker 1: It's time to get to work. Courtesy of Tiger Labor

134
00:06:01,279 --> 00:06:04,480

135
00:06:04,560 --> 00:06:07,800
payroll and more. Now for starters, now.

136
00:06:14,560 --> 00:06:17,319
Speaker 4: Absolute warehouse, construction and manufacturer positions. And you help with

137
00:06:17,319 --> 00:06:20,040
timperar labor, long term hires. We got you covered with skilled,

138
00:06:20,079 --> 00:06:22,279
dependable workers. Remember locally on an operator we are proud

139

to serve the bat Rouge Ara fast.

140
00:06:24,120 --> 00:06:28,600
Speaker 2: Flix will service. Hey, Jake, super Bowl is that? And

141
00:06:28,720 --> 00:06:32,040
what do you know? The Chiefs are back?

142
00:06:33,120 --> 00:06:38,079
Speaker 4: Maybe more interestingly, but you know, objectively less impressively.

143
00:06:38,279 --> 00:06:41,279
Speaker 2: Is the Eagles back as well? Again?

144
00:06:41,560 --> 00:06:44,079
Speaker 4: The saga of the Eagles after the last three years

145
00:06:44,279 --> 00:06:49,199
is one of the most fascinating because eleven games end

146
00:06:49,199 --> 00:06:51,480
of the season last year. I mean, the point is

147
00:06:51,519 --> 00:06:54,439
you could have almost had a three peat of opponents

148
00:06:54,439 --> 00:06:57,279
here as the Eagles are so good all those year

149
00:06:57,279 --> 00:06:59,240
they completely fall off, but now it looks like they

150
00:06:59,240 --> 00:07:00,240
are playing better than never.

151
00:07:00,279 --> 00:07:01,879
Speaker 2: Saquon has completely changed there.

152
00:07:02,040 --> 00:07:06,480
Speaker 4: Do you want to Chuck Comedy's Eagles first or Bill's Chiefs?

153
00:07:06,600 --> 00:07:08,720
Speaker 2: Yeah, we can go Commanders Eagles first.

154
00:07:08,759 --> 00:07:11,800
Speaker 5: The undercart yeah, I mean, it was a game until

155
00:07:11,800 --> 00:07:13,920
the fourth quarter and then you saw the Eagles pull

156
00:07:13,959 --> 00:07:17,160
away there and just too many turnovers by the Commanders.

157
00:07:17,160 --> 00:07:19,480
They had three fumbles. The Eagles made them pay on

158
00:07:19,560 --> 00:07:22,560
every single one of them. And you're right about Saquon

159
00:07:22,680 --> 00:07:24,879
like he changes the math for that team. They're just

160
00:07:24,959 --> 00:07:28,600
they're different. And you know, they were really good without him,

161
00:07:28,639 --> 00:07:31,399
and they had playmakers and aj Brown, DeVante Smith and

162
00:07:31,480 --> 00:07:33,759
Jalen Hurts would find a way. But now you have

163
00:07:33,839 --> 00:07:37,879
to cover everything, like fifty three and a third better

164
00:07:37,920 --> 00:07:40,040
be cover because they can hit you from so many

165
00:07:40,079 --> 00:07:40,839
different ways.

166
00:07:41,040 --> 00:07:42,800
Speaker 2: And I mean even the tight end position.

167
00:07:42,839 --> 00:07:45,639
Speaker 5: I mean you you just see them spread the football

168
00:07:45,680 --> 00:07:47,800
out and then once they decide, okay, it's gonna be

169
00:07:47,839 --> 00:07:50,240
Saquan's turn, like he's gonna hit a sixty yarder because

170
00:07:50,240 --> 00:07:52,120
he's not like he's getting twenty five carries a game.

171
00:07:52,160 --> 00:07:53,279
Speaker 2: He had fifteen carries.

172
00:07:53,560 --> 00:07:56,360
Speaker 5: But it's like they do a great job tee of spreading, spreading,

173
00:07:56,399 --> 00:07:59,360
spreading Saquon right, and they kind of get you to

174
00:07:59,600 --> 00:08:02,120
wide and everything because you got to cover everybody because

175
00:08:02,120 --> 00:08:03,920
they have so many different weapons. And then he's so

176
00:08:04,120 --> 00:08:06,199
good and once i mean look, once he gets on

177
00:08:06,240 --> 00:08:07,600
the same level as you, he's gone.

178
00:08:07,680 --> 00:08:09,519
Speaker 2: You're not gonna catch it. Uh Yeah.

179
00:08:09,800 --> 00:08:15,319
Speaker 4: One of the funniest football rhythms, uh interactions, rhythm of

180
00:08:15,360 --> 00:08:19,399
the game that I've ever seen is how this game opened,

181
00:08:19,920 --> 00:08:26,279
where the commanders go on a just uber grindy eighteen

182
00:08:26,439 --> 00:08:30,839
play drive where Jane Daniels doing Jane Daniels things, calmly

183
00:08:30,879 --> 00:08:34,519
converts a fourth and five calmly converts a fourth and two.

184
00:08:34,600 --> 00:08:37,360
Took the entire half of the first quarter, and they'd

185
00:08:37,440 --> 00:08:40,240
come away with three. Okay, great, I mean eighteen plays

186
00:08:40,279 --> 00:08:43,480
half a quarter, you put some on the board, and

187
00:08:43,519 --> 00:08:47,600
then the Eagles come back and it's one play. Sekwon

188
00:08:47,879 --> 00:08:50,879
to the house on an incredible little flip like little

189
00:08:51,159 --> 00:08:55,080
little like fake jet sweep flipped the other way a

190
00:08:55,159 --> 00:08:58,399
couple of league blockers, but then Saquon's speed and balancing

191
00:08:58,440 --> 00:09:01,679
breaks a couple of tackles, spit while maintaining speed, and

192
00:09:01,720 --> 00:09:05,399
all of a sudden, It's like the Commanders tried so hard,

193
00:09:05,919 --> 00:09:09,000
eighteen players to get those three and then the Eagles

194
00:09:09,039 --> 00:09:11,360
just go one and it's seven to three. Yeah, all

195
00:09:11,360 --> 00:09:14,759
of a sudden, and yeah, so the game, the game,

196
00:09:14,799 --> 00:09:17,279
the game. It just the turnovers after that for the Commanders,

197
00:09:17,320 --> 00:09:19,039
because every time they felt like they had a chance

198
00:09:19,080 --> 00:09:21,759
to make it, there'd be a fumble or something. There's

199
00:09:22,159 --> 00:09:24,679
the pick didn't really matter. But the Quinnan Mitchell pick

200
00:09:24,840 --> 00:09:25,480
was incredible.

201
00:09:25,600 --> 00:09:27,879
Speaker 2: Yeah, it was for me. It was the fumble on

202
00:09:27,919 --> 00:09:28,840
the kickoff return.

203
00:09:29,039 --> 00:09:32,360
Speaker 5: Yeah, because they go, they score, They got the momentum,

204
00:09:32,399 --> 00:09:35,200
and for the most part, you've been moving the football offensively,

205
00:09:35,399 --> 00:09:37,519
but you give it right back to him. You're not

206
00:09:37,559 --> 00:09:39,120
gonna be able to overcome that now when you're trying

207
00:09:39,159 --> 00:09:41,960
to punch out, not when you're the underdog. So yeah,

208
00:09:41,960 --> 00:09:44,279
they had three of them, but the one that to

209
00:09:44,360 --> 00:09:45,799
me kind of changed the game was the one right

210
00:09:45,840 --> 00:09:47,519
there on the kickoff return. You're right, I mean, jayde

211
00:09:47,559 --> 00:09:49,919
dust throw a pick, But the game was well decided

212
00:09:50,360 --> 00:09:53,200
by that point. And look, you know, probably you know

213
00:09:53,240 --> 00:09:55,440
this week, next week we'll look back on what Jayden

214
00:09:55,480 --> 00:09:57,240
was able to do his rookie year, one of the

215
00:09:57,320 --> 00:10:00,120
best rookie seasons that we've ever seen. He's got the

216
00:10:00,480 --> 00:10:04,039
Commanders in the NFC Championship game in year number one.

217
00:10:04,519 --> 00:10:07,320
They've got a you know, a squad that feels like

218
00:10:08,000 --> 00:10:09,679
it's going to be kept together for a while.

219
00:10:09,720 --> 00:10:10,759
Speaker 2: You look at their cap space.

220
00:10:10,799 --> 00:10:13,120
Speaker 5: I think they have the third most t money to

221
00:10:13,159 --> 00:10:15,919
spend in all of the NFL. And they got a

222
00:10:15,960 --> 00:10:17,759
couple of guys that are going to be free. But

223
00:10:18,519 --> 00:10:20,080
some guys are gonna have to make a decision like

224
00:10:20,159 --> 00:10:22,039
zach Ertz. I mean, this is somebody that how much

225
00:10:22,080 --> 00:10:23,600
longer does he want to play? He's already got a

226
00:10:23,600 --> 00:10:26,240
Super Bowl title with the Eagles, but he's he's been

227
00:10:26,320 --> 00:10:28,639
big here down the stretch. So there's gonna be guys

228
00:10:28,679 --> 00:10:31,120
like that that have a decision to make. But I mean,

229
00:10:31,159 --> 00:10:33,600
for the most part, they've got they've got their stars

230
00:10:33,679 --> 00:10:35,279
kind of locked up, and they got a lot of

231
00:10:35,320 --> 00:10:36,000
money to spend.

232
00:10:36,559 --> 00:10:37,200
Speaker 2: Uh.

233
00:10:37,320 --> 00:10:42,720
Speaker 4: Yeah, it's the future looks very bright. Also as far

234
00:10:42,720 --> 00:10:45,360
as the Eagles go, well, actually we can talk more Eagles.

I can go out there and play that too. And

334
00:15:00,000 --> 00:15:01,799
I feel like there's really what kind of like separated

335
00:15:01,799 --> 00:15:05,759
me from a lot of other interior defensive linemen. Whatever,

336
00:15:06,200 --> 00:15:07,320
I'm one of those players.

337
00:15:07,360 --> 00:15:09,039
Speaker 3: Whatever. The coach needs to let me know how I

338
00:15:09,080 --> 00:15:09,399
do it.

339
00:15:09,559 --> 00:15:12,399
Speaker 2: Yeah, and uh, I mean look at you.

340
00:15:12,399 --> 00:15:15,240
Speaker 4: You already said be coachable. It's like something that we

341
00:15:15,240 --> 00:15:18,279
were always raised on. Hard is the main thing. Uh

342
00:15:18,440 --> 00:15:21,279
So the coach, you're gonna love that starting tomorrow at practice.

343
00:15:21,519 --> 00:15:22,679
Speaker 2: How we feel about practice?

344
00:15:22,720 --> 00:15:24,879
Speaker 4: Getting excited for the one we got any nerves in

345
00:15:24,960 --> 00:15:26,440
the in the stomach right now?

346
00:15:27,360 --> 00:15:33,360
Speaker 8: Oh, I wouldn't say nervous. I'm just ready, like I'm

347
00:15:33,399 --> 00:15:34,600
kind of anxious excited.

348
00:15:34,720 --> 00:15:36,799
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, you ready to get after it a little bit?

349
00:15:37,120 --> 00:15:41,240
Speaker 4: What is the uh what is what is your favorite

350
00:15:41,279 --> 00:15:46,799
part about playing D line, going against uh, going against

351
00:15:46,799 --> 00:15:47,799
these big.

352
00:15:47,519 --> 00:15:52,559
Speaker 8: Alignment Uh, my favorite thing is, you know, just it's

353
00:15:52,639 --> 00:15:56,320
just the battles. You know. You know everybody think, oh,

354
00:15:56,440 --> 00:15:59,679
the biggest, the biggest person on win with the fastest

355
00:15:59,679 --> 00:16:03,320
person and which in reality, yeah, it's supposed to be true,

356
00:16:03,360 --> 00:16:06,000
but in football, I mean it's any given rip, so

357
00:16:06,080 --> 00:16:10,440
you know, it's really just a repeated competition every snap.

358
00:16:10,600 --> 00:16:13,840
Speaker 5: So who was the best offensive lineman you went against

359
00:16:13,840 --> 00:16:15,080
this year in the SEC?

360
00:16:16,000 --> 00:16:16,720
Speaker 3: Uh?

361
00:16:16,879 --> 00:16:20,840
Speaker 8: I probably have just ahead and say just probably just

362
00:16:20,919 --> 00:16:24,679
Will Will Campbell, just probably just saying because he was

363
00:16:24,720 --> 00:16:27,320
the I feel like he was the most prepared and

364
00:16:27,399 --> 00:16:29,480
I's like he prepared the best at all the offensive

365
00:16:29,519 --> 00:16:32,159
lineman that I played, And I feel like he just

366
00:16:32,440 --> 00:16:36,279
he just had that the NFL like level, like just

367
00:16:36,440 --> 00:16:38,600
of preparation. I feel like he already had that kind

368
00:16:38,600 --> 00:16:39,399
of at an early age.

369
00:16:39,960 --> 00:16:42,080
Speaker 4: Is that something that I mean you mentioned here, you

370
00:16:42,120 --> 00:16:44,840
know that it's like, yeah, people assume it's biggest and strongest,

371
00:16:44,919 --> 00:16:48,200
but really yeah, it's like the same preparation technique. It's

372
00:16:48,200 --> 00:16:50,600
preparation something that you pride yourself on.

373
00:16:51,600 --> 00:16:54,440
Speaker 8: Uh. Yeah, I mean at first I was kind of like,

374
00:16:55,399 --> 00:16:56,720
you know, coming out of high school.

375
00:16:56,759 --> 00:16:59,039
Speaker 3: You know, I was just like, hey, I'm just trying.

376
00:16:59,120 --> 00:16:59,360
Speaker 2: Yeah, I.

377
00:17:01,360 --> 00:17:03,879
Speaker 8: Do the same thing I always do. But you know,

378
00:17:03,960 --> 00:17:07,200
as you get older, you understand it. Preparation is everything.

379
00:17:07,240 --> 00:17:10,319
It's all about the process, you know. I'm just starting.

380
00:17:10,359 --> 00:17:12,480
I'm slowly and slowly falling in love with the process

381
00:17:12,519 --> 00:17:12,920
every day.

382
00:17:13,000 --> 00:17:14,119
Speaker 2: So well, and.

383
00:17:14,279 --> 00:17:16,599
Speaker 4: And uh, I want to take it back to college

384
00:17:16,640 --> 00:17:17,720
for a little bit. I want to I want to

385
00:17:17,759 --> 00:17:20,359
ask a bit of an sec I guess, an old

386
00:17:20,359 --> 00:17:22,920
miss question because it's something that I'm kind of fascinated

387
00:17:22,960 --> 00:17:26,000
outside looking in. Uh, y'all had so much success there,

388
00:17:26,359 --> 00:17:30,039
and y'all brought together so much talent from different areas

389
00:17:30,160 --> 00:17:33,559
and then it really gelled together really well.

390
00:17:34,200 --> 00:17:38,000
Speaker 2: What is the process at all, miss, right now?

391
00:17:38,039 --> 00:17:41,160
Speaker 4: To take in these big personalities, big time players, big

392
00:17:41,200 --> 00:17:44,039
time transfers and kind of get everybody to buy in

393
00:17:44,079 --> 00:17:45,200
and get on the same page.

394
00:17:45,480 --> 00:17:47,200
Speaker 2: What is Lane telling y'all?

395
00:17:48,640 --> 00:17:48,920
Speaker 3: Really?

396
00:17:49,720 --> 00:17:52,559
Speaker 8: Lane here here players coach, So it really, old Miss,

397
00:17:52,440 --> 00:17:56,359
it's like the player's team, honestly, So whatever, I feel

398
00:17:56,359 --> 00:18:00,200
like we had a pretty good leadership leadership group, you know,

399
00:18:00,240 --> 00:18:03,279
in the seniors, So really it was just you know,

400
00:18:03,400 --> 00:18:05,599
everybody come in, let's work. I mean, I feel like

401
00:18:05,640 --> 00:18:07,960
everybody came in with the same goal as we're trying

402
00:18:08,000 --> 00:18:10,480
to win and everybody trying to go to the next level.

403
00:18:10,519 --> 00:18:15,000
So I feel like, honestly, it was just I forgot

404
00:18:15,039 --> 00:18:16,000
the word called uh.

405
00:18:16,279 --> 00:18:19,519
Speaker 3: I feel like it was just everybody had the same ideas.

406
00:18:19,119 --> 00:18:21,640
Speaker 2: You know, had good chemistry. They got on the same page.

407
00:18:21,799 --> 00:18:23,920
Speaker 8: Yeah, And I also feel like if we would have

408
00:18:23,960 --> 00:18:26,240
had just a little bit more time, we would have

409
00:18:26,279 --> 00:18:28,200
clicked a little bit better and we probably have had

410
00:18:28,200 --> 00:18:29,599
a better send, a better turnout.

411
00:18:29,839 --> 00:18:31,680
Speaker 5: I want to ask you about another coach of years

412
00:18:31,680 --> 00:18:34,160
we were talking a little bit before, Jimbo Fisher. I

413
00:18:34,240 --> 00:18:36,720
do radio with Jimbo every Tuesday and played for him

414
00:18:36,720 --> 00:18:39,400
and so knowing him really well, and he didn't get

415
00:18:39,519 --> 00:18:42,599
excited too often about defensive players. But when he talks

416
00:18:42,640 --> 00:18:44,319
about you, he kind of sits up in his chair

417
00:18:44,319 --> 00:18:45,839
and he gets a big smile on his face. You know,

418
00:18:45,920 --> 00:18:48,519
Jimbo talks fast already he gets to go in a

419
00:18:48,559 --> 00:18:50,200
little bit there, and so man, he was a big

420
00:18:50,240 --> 00:18:52,599
fan of yours. What was it like a text A

421
00:18:52,640 --> 00:18:54,839
and M before you went to all mess because y'all

422
00:18:54,839 --> 00:18:57,519
also look y'all had a really talented group as well,

423
00:18:57,519 --> 00:18:59,519
and probably felt like y'all were pretty close to you know,

424
00:18:59,559 --> 00:19:01,000
taking that next step there as well.

425
00:19:02,000 --> 00:19:04,960
Speaker 3: Uh, you know actually and them.

426
00:19:05,000 --> 00:19:08,000
Speaker 8: You know, I'm the type of person I always feel

427
00:19:08,000 --> 00:19:09,440
like the head coach like he got a lot of

428
00:19:09,480 --> 00:19:12,400
stuff to do. So I usually have my conversations with

429
00:19:12,480 --> 00:19:14,799
the head coach like on the side, like a little

430
00:19:14,839 --> 00:19:17,519
small conversations or I don't usually have like the real

431
00:19:17,559 --> 00:19:20,960
big conversation so after the season. So really just like

432
00:19:21,039 --> 00:19:23,680
after after every season or like after every couple of games,

433
00:19:23,680 --> 00:19:25,680
I'll just be in his office, like, well, can I

434
00:19:25,720 --> 00:19:27,680
what you think I could do to get better? Even

435
00:19:27,680 --> 00:19:29,759
though you know, Jimbo he not a defensive coach, but

436
00:19:30,039 --> 00:19:32,200
you know he still he don't coach some guys, So

437
00:19:32,480 --> 00:19:35,599
just really just trying to learn from a you know,

438
00:19:36,319 --> 00:19:37,640
he already got it, So.

439
00:19:38,440 --> 00:19:40,160
Speaker 2: What did it? Uh?

440
00:19:40,920 --> 00:19:44,799
Speaker 4: It's a weird thing, right because like your college career

441
00:19:44,839 --> 00:19:47,119
is over, the NFL thing is just beginning now, so

442
00:19:47,880 --> 00:19:50,160
I know it's not really time to reflect yet, But

443
00:19:51,079 --> 00:19:53,279
what did it mean to you to be named a

444
00:19:53,359 --> 00:19:55,839
consensus first team All American?

445
00:19:55,920 --> 00:19:59,720
Speaker 2: I mean very very rare. That is the highest of college.

446
00:19:59,519 --> 00:20:04,839
Speaker 8: Football Oh, I mean it's a blessing. I said there,

447
00:20:04,920 --> 00:20:06,680
From the day I found out what it was, It's

448
00:20:06,720 --> 00:20:07,240
a blessing.

449
00:20:07,279 --> 00:20:07,480
Speaker 2: You know.

450
00:20:08,079 --> 00:20:10,480
Speaker 8: I'm just thankful to be in the situation. And I

451
00:20:10,480 --> 00:20:13,119
feel like I feel like some of my work from

452
00:20:13,119 --> 00:20:15,359
this past off season it really showed this year.

453
00:20:15,799 --> 00:20:16,960
Speaker 3: That's why I was able to learn it.

454
00:20:17,200 --> 00:20:19,039
Speaker 4: What did you do in the off season that you

455
00:20:19,079 --> 00:20:22,839
feel like maybe crank things up or took it to

456
00:20:22,880 --> 00:20:24,119
an even higher level.

457
00:20:24,839 --> 00:20:26,960
Speaker 8: Like were talking about the preparation. You know, I feel

458
00:20:26,960 --> 00:20:30,759
like I prepared a little bit better go around, and

459
00:20:32,200 --> 00:20:34,079
I feel like I don't kind of finally found like

460
00:20:34,119 --> 00:20:36,720
that I kind of found my rhythm, you know, and

461
00:20:36,880 --> 00:20:38,079
just trying to get better every day.

462
00:20:38,799 --> 00:20:41,680
Speaker 5: Anything in this combine training process that you're like, Okay,

463
00:20:41,720 --> 00:20:44,200
this is something I want to identify to make sure

464
00:20:44,559 --> 00:20:47,000
that by the time I get to Indie and the Combine,

465
00:20:47,079 --> 00:20:49,279
I'm doing this really well because I feel like I

466
00:20:49,279 --> 00:20:52,559
can get a little bit better there. Oh yeah, I

467
00:20:52,599 --> 00:20:55,599
read my scout report. That's the first thing I did.

468
00:20:55,759 --> 00:20:58,519
Speaker 3: Yeah. Really yeah, I ain't read the positives.

469
00:20:58,559 --> 00:21:02,039
Speaker 2: But what they say, what are the negatives?

470
00:21:02,279 --> 00:21:04,079
Speaker 3: What motivated you? Oh?

471
00:21:04,279 --> 00:21:06,119
Speaker 8: You know, they they would just saying all kind of

472
00:21:06,119 --> 00:21:09,079
stuy I play I played high, you know, I don't.

473
00:21:09,160 --> 00:21:10,759
Speaker 3: I don't use my hands enough.

474
00:21:12,839 --> 00:21:15,400
Speaker 8: A lot of stuff. But you know, I gotta tell

475
00:21:15,400 --> 00:21:17,599
you what the grain of salt. That's part of being coachtable,

476
00:21:17,640 --> 00:21:19,720
you know. Yeah, the coaches in the league, they don't

477
00:21:19,720 --> 00:21:22,880
seem the best, so obviously if they see somebody gotta

478
00:21:22,920 --> 00:21:24,880
work on i'ma work on it and I plan on

479
00:21:24,960 --> 00:21:25,680
showing that this week.

480
00:21:26,240 --> 00:21:26,400
Speaker 2: Yeah.

481
00:21:26,480 --> 00:21:27,160
Speaker 3: Hell yeah, man?

482
00:21:27,400 --> 00:21:28,039
Speaker 2: Uh what was it?

483
00:21:28,119 --> 00:21:30,240
Speaker 4: Okay, last one here but soft on the way out?

484
00:21:30,599 --> 00:21:33,359
What was your what was the best kind of memory

485
00:21:33,440 --> 00:21:35,279
or moment of the season this last year for you?

486
00:21:35,519 --> 00:21:35,880
Speaker 3: Was it beat?

487
00:21:36,039 --> 00:21:37,359
Speaker 2: Was it beating the hell out of Georgia?

488
00:21:38,079 --> 00:21:38,559
Speaker 3: Honestly?

489
00:21:38,759 --> 00:21:41,240
Speaker 8: Uh yeah, that was that probably had to been my

490
00:21:41,240 --> 00:21:44,599
my favorite experience, and not even just because we won

491
00:21:44,680 --> 00:21:47,319
the game. It was just h it was kind of

492
00:21:47,359 --> 00:21:49,960
like just the city of Oxford, you know. It was

493
00:21:50,519 --> 00:21:53,079
you could tell like that they really did something for them. Yeah,

494
00:21:54,079 --> 00:21:55,359
you know what' so I would just glad to beat

495
00:21:55,359 --> 00:21:56,799
there and be a part of it, you know that.

496
00:21:57,160 --> 00:22:00,480
I don't know when the last time. Uh oh, missad

497
00:22:00,559 --> 00:22:03,880
b Georgia a fly. We all had their mission to

498
00:22:03,920 --> 00:22:05,079
go out there and dominate them.

499
00:22:05,279 --> 00:22:09,200

Speaker 4: Uh well, actually real quick, Chad saying that it's Mozart's birthday.

538
00:24:06,279 --> 00:24:08,119
I don't know that A happy birthday. Can I know

539
00:24:08,240 --> 00:24:09,839
Mozart died at thirty five?

540
00:24:10,279 --> 00:24:12,240
Speaker 2: I do know. I guess. I haven't seen Amadeis in

541
00:24:12,279 --> 00:24:14,440
a while. I'm a Dais.

542
00:24:14,519 --> 00:24:17,160
Speaker 4: You have ever seen the old Mozart movie that came

543
00:24:17,200 --> 00:24:18,559
out in the eighties.

544
00:24:19,240 --> 00:24:21,920
Speaker 2: Very good movie. I think it won Best Picture. Actually

545
00:24:22,400 --> 00:24:23,279
very movie.

546
00:24:23,640 --> 00:24:26,240
Speaker 4: I don't I can see his face. I do not

547
00:24:26,440 --> 00:24:30,079
know his I do not know his name, but it's

548
00:24:30,079 --> 00:24:31,440
a very good movie. I guess I haven't seen it

549
00:24:31,440 --> 00:24:32,680
in a while because I did not know he died

550
00:24:32,680 --> 00:24:33,200
at thirty five.

551
00:24:33,240 --> 00:24:35,920
Speaker 2: That's crazy. I'm thirty five, but that'd be thirty six.

552
00:24:37,039 --> 00:24:39,599
Not as old as Rivers. She's thirty seven, so you know.

553
00:24:40,480 --> 00:24:46,400
Speaker 4: Anyway, AFC Championship Bill's Chiefs yesterday the main event Josh Allen,

554
00:24:47,359 --> 00:24:54,839
Patrick Mahomes and it is insane to me, Jake, how

555
00:24:54,880 --> 00:24:57,759
in the world can the Chiefs and the Bills be

556
00:24:57,880 --> 00:25:02,000
so close? Remember entering this game, Taylor gave us the

557
00:25:02,039 --> 00:25:05,279
stat the other day. Entering this game, if you look

558
00:25:05,319 --> 00:25:07,279
at the past ten games the two teams have played,

559
00:25:07,319 --> 00:25:11,119
it was five and five, so five each with exactly

560
00:25:11,599 --> 00:25:17,000
two hundred and fifty one points scored each. With about

561
00:25:17,119 --> 00:25:19,480
half of the fourth quarter left, this game was twenty

562
00:25:19,599 --> 00:25:23,440
nine to twenty nine, meaning with about ten point seventy

563
00:25:23,559 --> 00:25:28,039
five games played they were still dead even. And yet

564
00:25:28,400 --> 00:25:32,440
once again, when it matters most in the playoffs, it

565
00:25:32,519 --> 00:25:34,960
is the Chiefs getting on the Chiefs now four to

566
00:25:34,960 --> 00:25:38,920
o patrom moves four to o against Josh Allen in

567
00:25:38,960 --> 00:25:41,920
the playoffs, it just boggles the mind that you could

568
00:25:41,920 --> 00:25:46,279
be so close overall and yet at these moments you're

569
00:25:46,319 --> 00:25:49,279
always on the wrong side. Like, how does Jake in

570
00:25:49,319 --> 00:25:53,680
your NFL mind? What do the Chiefs do where they're

571
00:25:53,720 --> 00:25:56,720
able to create that sort of consistency in the postseason.

572
00:25:57,039 --> 00:26:00,000
Speaker 5: I wish I could tell you because we've never really

573
00:26:00,119 --> 00:26:02,759
seen it outside Oh, I mean, you know of our

574
00:26:02,880 --> 00:26:08,480
lifetime the Patriots, like and we saw them do that, and.

575
00:26:07,920 --> 00:26:09,519
Speaker 2: I mean the Cowboys when I was young.

576
00:26:09,559 --> 00:26:11,519
Speaker 5: I mean they certainly would they win three of four

577
00:26:11,640 --> 00:26:14,720
something like that, but just this, but this is like

578
00:26:14,920 --> 00:26:18,519
the longevity of how long they've done this, Like the

579
00:26:18,559 --> 00:26:21,559
Patriots are the only other time. And first off, you

580
00:26:21,599 --> 00:26:23,920
got to have a Hall of Fame head coach. They

581
00:26:23,920 --> 00:26:26,079
both have that. You to have a Hall of Fame quarterback,

582
00:26:26,119 --> 00:26:28,720
they both have that. And also like that hall of

583
00:26:28,720 --> 00:26:31,720
fame quarterback just makes those around him better.

584
00:26:31,759 --> 00:26:33,480
Speaker 2: He just does like he finds a way.

585
00:26:33,519 --> 00:26:36,960
Speaker 5: Like yesterday, Patrick Mahomes had eleven carries, Like that's what

586
00:26:37,000 --> 00:26:43,759
he had to do with Patrick Mahomes, But like that's

587
00:26:43,799 --> 00:26:45,759
what they do. They find a way. He had two

588
00:26:45,759 --> 00:26:49,920
scoring plays on the ground, Like just doesn't happen. They

589
00:26:49,920 --> 00:26:52,519
weren't scrambles. A lot of it was designed quarterback run,

590
00:26:52,559 --> 00:26:55,359
and so man, they just they have the combination that

591
00:26:55,400 --> 00:26:57,720
you have to have coaching quarterback, and they just make

592
00:26:57,839 --> 00:26:59,880
all those players around them better.

593
00:27:00,160 --> 00:27:01,359
Speaker 2: It doesn't matter who it is.

594
00:27:01,480 --> 00:27:03,839
Speaker 5: Now he's got the Travis Kelsey, just like Gronk was

595
00:27:03,880 --> 00:27:04,920
there for Brady.

596
00:27:04,960 --> 00:27:06,839
Speaker 2: You have your stars, but t Bobb.

597
00:27:06,880 --> 00:27:09,559
Speaker 5: It is so impressive how it doesn't matter if somebody

598
00:27:09,559 --> 00:27:12,200
gets signed off the street, if it's somebody else's trash,

599
00:27:12,319 --> 00:27:13,279
it does not matter.

600
00:27:13,400 --> 00:27:15,200
Speaker 2: Once they get to Kansas City.

601
00:27:15,079 --> 00:27:17,640
Speaker 5: Patrick Mahomes, Andy Reid, they make that player better and

602
00:27:17,680 --> 00:27:20,799
then Spags does it on the defensive side. Right, And

603
00:27:21,039 --> 00:27:22,920
he hasn't always been great in his career. I think

604
00:27:22,920 --> 00:27:24,599
a lot of Saints fans will remember the year he

605
00:27:24,680 --> 00:27:26,519
was there as their coordinator.

606
00:27:26,839 --> 00:27:30,400
Speaker 4: But that's kind of the weird part about Spagnola though.

607
00:27:30,440 --> 00:27:33,759
The Saints year is such an aberration, right yeah, because

608
00:27:33,799 --> 00:27:35,759
he was the Giants de coordinator both Super Bowls.

609
00:27:35,839 --> 00:27:39,359
Speaker 2: Right yeah, So this man won two Super Bowls? There?

610
00:27:39,559 --> 00:27:42,599
How many has Kansas City won? Four? This will be

611
00:27:42,720 --> 00:27:44,400
three in a's three in a row.

612
00:27:44,400 --> 00:27:46,039
Speaker 4: They do, by the way, more on that because I

613
00:27:46,079 --> 00:27:49,279
don't think people well, actually, I'm sure you heard it

614
00:27:49,559 --> 00:27:52,160
now afterward the weekend of games, you know this, But like,

615
00:27:52,480 --> 00:27:54,640
I don't think a lot of people would have known

616
00:27:54,799 --> 00:27:59,240
last week that nobody's ever three peeded in the NFL

617
00:27:59,720 --> 00:28:02,519
because we have seen dynasys. We've seen the Patriots, like

618
00:28:02,519 --> 00:28:04,400
you mentioned the Cowboys success in the nineties.

619
00:28:04,559 --> 00:28:05,759
Speaker 2: We've seen people get close.

620
00:28:05,799 --> 00:28:08,319
Speaker 4: But this is actually the first time ever there's been

621
00:28:08,440 --> 00:28:11,359
nine teams that have won back to back Super Bowls.

622
00:28:11,519 --> 00:28:13,519
This is the first time ever that a team that

623
00:28:13,519 --> 00:28:16,960
that same team has even made a third straight. So

624
00:28:17,279 --> 00:28:20,440
credit to the Kansas City Chiefs. But yeah, as far

625
00:28:20,440 --> 00:28:22,240
as Bagnola goes, I mean, the man's got how many

626
00:28:22,279 --> 00:28:22,960
Super Bols to his.

627
00:28:22,920 --> 00:28:25,920
Speaker 2: Name now, five six something like that.

628
00:28:26,839 --> 00:28:29,119
Speaker 4: And Chris Jones said after gave yes, and he was like, look, man,

629
00:28:29,240 --> 00:28:31,960
until y'all like, if nobody's gonna hire this dude to

630
00:28:31,960 --> 00:28:34,119
be a head coach, fine, he's the key to the success.

631
00:28:34,119 --> 00:28:36,599
He's gonna keep winning. And I don't know what he does, Jake,

632
00:28:36,599 --> 00:28:38,759
because I've been like, uh, we just watched it live.

633
00:28:38,759 --> 00:28:41,440
Speaker 2: We're driving mobile. I need to go watch the film.

634
00:28:41,440 --> 00:28:43,880
Speaker 4: But like you hear Romo breaking down that final blitzer,

635
00:28:43,880 --> 00:28:46,079
he brings the corner and I guess how he set

636
00:28:46,200 --> 00:28:48,240
up was so unexpected because Rome was in you would

637
00:28:48,319 --> 00:28:51,519
never expect that guy to come. And but it's weird

638
00:28:51,519 --> 00:28:54,559
because you know he's blitzing. You know he's gonna bring it,

639
00:28:54,640 --> 00:28:57,759
and so he's cover from somewhere. So how is Spags

640
00:28:57,799 --> 00:29:00,440
Because normally though that gets you beat again, the best

641
00:29:00,480 --> 00:29:03,079
quarterbacks like that, they will they will pick you apart.

642
00:29:03,519 --> 00:29:08,160
But somehow he consistently engineers that pressure to where the

643
00:29:08,240 --> 00:29:10,440
guy looks hapless, and he does it in the biggest

644
00:29:10,559 --> 00:29:11,720
moments game on the line.

645
00:29:11,799 --> 00:29:12,400
Speaker 2: Gotta have the.

646
00:29:12,440 --> 00:29:15,599
Speaker 4: Stuff credited Josh Allen somehow putting that ball in Kk's hands.

647
00:29:16,240 --> 00:29:18,599
H But yeah, I mean, what a call and what

648
00:29:18,759 --> 00:29:21,000
execution by Spags and the Chiefs defense.

649
00:29:22,240 --> 00:29:25,200
Speaker 5: The thing that he does really well is he brings it.

650
00:29:25,319 --> 00:29:26,839
Speaker 2: Sure like he's always.

651
00:29:26,480 --> 00:29:29,119
Speaker 5: Trying to create chaos, but he brings d blitz when

652
00:29:29,119 --> 00:29:31,480
you're not expecting it, like the corner cat like they

653
00:29:31,480 --> 00:29:34,960
had shown that all game long, and you know Georgia

654
00:29:35,000 --> 00:29:36,960
did that. The Texas and college football this year they

655
00:29:37,039 --> 00:29:38,799
kind of did the same thing, like they made it

656
00:29:38,880 --> 00:29:41,640
such a point of focus in the middle, double a gap,

657
00:29:41,720 --> 00:29:43,640
mugs and all of a sudden, when the game was

658
00:29:43,680 --> 00:29:45,279
on the line, they brought the corner cat with the

659
00:29:45,319 --> 00:29:47,960
double a's and they dropped him. Like that's what Spags does,

660
00:29:48,000 --> 00:29:50,119
but he does it consistently every single game, not just

661
00:29:50,119 --> 00:29:52,519
a one off. And even a guy like Josh Allen

662
00:29:52,519 --> 00:29:55,519
who processes it, you know, incredibly fast and knows it

663
00:29:55,559 --> 00:29:57,640
and can get you in the right call when you're

664
00:29:57,680 --> 00:30:00,359
not expecting cornercat because they hadn't shown it all games longer,

665
00:30:00,440 --> 00:30:03,240
the biggest play, even the best quarterback is going to

666
00:30:03,240 --> 00:30:05,519
get pulled by it, and Josh did. Now credit to Josh,

667
00:30:05,599 --> 00:30:07,559
he's an alien and hes still got to pass off

668
00:30:07,599 --> 00:30:10,799
and kaid right in the hands, but still like he

669
00:30:10,920 --> 00:30:12,920
wasn't ready for that play. And that's what Spags does

670
00:30:13,000 --> 00:30:15,559
at an elite level, because think about like who he

671
00:30:15,640 --> 00:30:18,200
has he I mean, outside of Jones, he doesn't have

672
00:30:19,160 --> 00:30:19,640
a lot.

673
00:30:19,519 --> 00:30:21,480
Speaker 2: Of cast of characters.

674
00:30:21,559 --> 00:30:24,000
Speaker 4: I mean, at one point it was Sorenson, uh I

675
00:30:24,160 --> 00:30:26,279
forgd out about one of the names.

676
00:30:25,920 --> 00:30:27,160
Speaker 2: That people talk about.

677
00:30:28,079 --> 00:30:30,920
Speaker 5: That guy like Trent McDuffie's a gosh, he's he's a

678
00:30:30,960 --> 00:30:33,559
top corner. But I mean you start looking at some

679
00:30:33,599 --> 00:30:35,119
of the guys that they have and they just got

680
00:30:35,359 --> 00:30:37,920
really good players that buy into the system and give

681
00:30:37,960 --> 00:30:40,680
you everything that they've got, and I means to the

682
00:30:40,720 --> 00:30:43,480
quarterback Jerry Sneed was all some last playoff run like

683
00:30:43,559 --> 00:30:47,359
it's it's it's Chris Jones is kind of the only commonality.

684
00:30:47,640 --> 00:30:49,720
He's probably like the only Hall of Famer that they've

685
00:30:49,759 --> 00:30:54,480
had on that side of the football, which he's like,

686
00:30:54,599 --> 00:30:57,440
he said after the game that he thinks the reason

687
00:30:57,440 --> 00:31:00,240
why the Chiefs are so incredible is quite simply just

688
00:31:00,279 --> 00:31:03,680
they're so comfortable in high pressure moments.

689
00:31:04,119 --> 00:31:05,559
Speaker 2: They've been doing it for so long.

690
00:31:06,920 --> 00:31:10,480
Speaker 4: They've done it, they practice it all the time they've

691
00:31:10,480 --> 00:31:13,960
been in the play This is their seventh straight AFC championship.

692
00:31:14,759 --> 00:31:17,799
What an advantage that is when you get to these moments,

693
00:31:17,839 --> 00:31:20,119
as when you go to something seven years in a row,

694
00:31:20,160 --> 00:31:23,440
it's going to feel more commonplace where for a lot

695
00:31:23,480 --> 00:31:25,240
of these guys, maybe not the Bills as much, but

696
00:31:25,279 --> 00:31:27,720
for a lot of these guys the first time that

697
00:31:27,759 --> 00:31:30,200
you've ever been there. So yeah, the Chief's best trait

698
00:31:31,680 --> 00:31:35,200
in this entire run is there. It's their intangibles and stuff.

699
00:31:35,200 --> 00:31:38,160
We talked about their ability to stack small wins that

700
00:31:38,240 --> 00:31:40,160
at the end of the game end up creating those

701
00:31:40,240 --> 00:31:43,720
kind of consistent one score differences to create a win,

702
00:31:43,759 --> 00:31:45,720
because that's really what a lot of the NFL comes

703
00:31:45,759 --> 00:31:47,559
down to, is how do you do in one score games?

704
00:31:49,559 --> 00:31:50,319
Speaker 2: And they just thrive.

705
00:31:50,440 --> 00:31:53,039
Speaker 4: They thrive in the one score game, and they approach

706
00:31:53,079 --> 00:31:56,000
you with the confidence of someone who knows they are

707
00:31:56,000 --> 00:31:59,559
gonna win, doesn't hope, doesn't think sure knows, Oh no,

708
00:31:59,599 --> 00:32:02,279
we're and obviously hopefield advantage.

709
00:32:01,880 --> 00:32:02,319
Speaker 2: Right yeah.

710
00:32:02,319 --> 00:32:06,160
Speaker 5: Oh, Which that's the closest to a college stadium that

711
00:32:06,160 --> 00:32:09,000
would have in the NFL. Like you know, the Supernome

712
00:32:09,079 --> 00:32:10,599
is great in the NFL. Don't get me wrong. When

713
00:32:10,599 --> 00:32:13,480
the Saints are rocking, it is really good, Hines. When

714
00:32:13,480 --> 00:32:16,240
the Steelers are rocking, it's really good. There's a couple that,

715
00:32:16,880 --> 00:32:19,720
you know, can rival a college stadium. Arrowhead's the only

716
00:32:19,759 --> 00:32:22,480
one that meets those standards of like an SEC at

717
00:32:22,559 --> 00:32:24,440
night type stadium. And you heard it. We were talking

718
00:32:24,440 --> 00:32:26,160
about it on the way here. You could hear it

719
00:32:26,200 --> 00:32:28,880
through the phone, just how loud it was. But I

720
00:32:28,920 --> 00:32:31,480
am going back and and kind of looking exactly at

721
00:32:31,519 --> 00:32:34,279
what they did and again at double a mugs, right,

722
00:32:34,319 --> 00:32:36,559
and so in that last play, and so they put

723
00:32:36,559 --> 00:32:39,319
two linebackers in a gap. And here's here's what got

724
00:32:39,400 --> 00:32:41,480
Josh Allen Because you got a press corner. Anytime you

725
00:32:41,480 --> 00:32:44,079
have a press corner, you're thinking, Okay, he is, you know,

726
00:32:44,279 --> 00:32:44,920
likely to blitz.

727
00:32:44,960 --> 00:32:47,119
Speaker 4: But it's a tight formation, right, so he's got a

728
00:32:47,160 --> 00:32:50,680
short continue yeah, short too, you know too from away

729
00:32:50,720 --> 00:32:54,079
but into the boundary. But the reason that he doesn't

730
00:32:54,119 --> 00:32:56,200
believe that that corner is going to come even though

731
00:32:56,200 --> 00:32:59,440
he's pressed is because in his mind, Okay, the safety

732
00:32:59,559 --> 00:33:00,759
is about eleven yards.

733
00:33:00,839 --> 00:33:02,079
Speaker 2: Yea, he's not stack directly.

734
00:33:02,119 --> 00:33:04,480
Speaker 5: So if the safety's at eleven yards and you have

735
00:33:04,680 --> 00:33:07,160
a fourth and five, you're like, he's not gonna give

736
00:33:07,200 --> 00:33:09,319
me a five yard hitch. Yeah, there's no way in

737
00:33:09,359 --> 00:33:12,200
the world our five yard out. And so that guy's

738
00:33:12,279 --> 00:33:14,640
not gonna come because if he does, it's easy. I'm

739
00:33:14,680 --> 00:33:17,279
gonna throw it to this guy. So you eliminate that

740
00:33:17,359 --> 00:33:19,680
corner out of your mind. And also you're like, okay, well,

741
00:33:19,680 --> 00:33:22,279
you got two mugged guys right there in the a gap.

742
00:33:22,319 --> 00:33:23,720
Speaker 2: They can't drop to that either.

743
00:33:24,079 --> 00:33:26,720
Speaker 5: They can't drop and cover that receiver on the short side,

744
00:33:26,799 --> 00:33:28,359
So I'm gonna be able to hit a five yard

745
00:33:28,400 --> 00:33:30,960
hitch a five yard out all day long, and so

746
00:33:31,759 --> 00:33:34,480
in your process, because when you're playing it at that level,

747
00:33:34,519 --> 00:33:37,200
you have to eliminate some things just based off alignment

748
00:33:37,359 --> 00:33:41,279
and situation. And so that's another thing that Spags does.

749
00:33:41,400 --> 00:33:44,480
He goes away from what anybody would typically do because

750
00:33:44,519 --> 00:33:47,240
typically there's no way in hell that that safety is

751
00:33:47,279 --> 00:33:50,079
gonna be able to play my receiver if that corner comes,

752
00:33:50,079 --> 00:33:52,279
and well he does, who.

753
00:33:52,160 --> 00:33:53,119
Speaker 2: Ends up playing him?

754
00:33:53,359 --> 00:33:56,839
Speaker 5: And so Josh gets kind of surprised there and then look,

755
00:33:57,160 --> 00:33:59,880
he immediately goes down and yeah, he's just banking on.

756
00:34:00,440 --> 00:34:02,119
Speaker 4: Yeah, if you had an eliminate, you could have hit

757
00:34:02,160 --> 00:34:04,799
him right away for the first down. Yes, they won

758
00:34:05,039 --> 00:34:07,720
just by they won with the with the pressure.

759
00:34:07,599 --> 00:34:11,199
Speaker 5: With the unexpected pressure, and they were like, hey, if

760
00:34:11,199 --> 00:34:13,159
you run a five yard out here, you got it's

761
00:34:13,159 --> 00:34:14,760
basically like we're gonna give you the first down.

762
00:34:14,840 --> 00:34:16,719
Speaker 2: But we know what this can create as well.

763
00:34:17,199 --> 00:34:20,000
Speaker 5: And so Buffalo doesn't end up running They run a slant,

764
00:34:20,000 --> 00:34:22,679
which I hate the concept of running a slant on

765
00:34:22,760 --> 00:34:25,320
that side. It's the only route that's kind of going

766
00:34:25,360 --> 00:34:27,360
there because you have nothing really coming back to the

767
00:34:27,440 --> 00:34:29,960
right side. So I don't love the concept. But the

768
00:34:30,000 --> 00:34:31,880
Chiefs were like, hey, we're going to surprise you. We're

769
00:34:31,880 --> 00:34:33,440
going to give you the five yard out if you

770
00:34:33,519 --> 00:34:35,719
want it, but you are not going to know that

771
00:34:35,760 --> 00:34:38,000
we are bringing this corner off the edge.

772
00:34:39,360 --> 00:34:43,480
Speaker 4: Beautiful call, beautiful defensive call to send the Chiefs to

773
00:34:43,519 --> 00:34:46,519
their third straight Super Bowl again. First time you've ever

774
00:34:46,599 --> 00:34:48,159
had a back to back winner go to a third

775
00:34:48,159 --> 00:34:52,360
straight and the poor Bills man Jay cow about seventy

776
00:34:52,400 --> 00:34:55,440
eight wins over the past six seasons, that's the most

777
00:34:55,519 --> 00:34:59,679
in NFL history without making a Super Bowl appearance. Josh

778
00:34:59,719 --> 00:35:03,000
Allen seven playoff wins are the most ever by a

779
00:35:03,079 --> 00:35:06,960
quarterback without making a super Bowl appearance. And you know,

780
00:35:07,039 --> 00:35:11,559
the older you get, the heavier the lift feels. I mean,

781
00:35:11,599 --> 00:35:14,679
how much work you put in to get to this point.

782
00:35:15,840 --> 00:35:19,039
The Bills, it's it's not quite the nineties, but again

783
00:35:20,119 --> 00:35:25,800
suffering within some really just spectacular success. If I'm a

784
00:35:25,800 --> 00:35:30,000
Bills fan, I'm just praying and sacrificing to the football

785
00:35:30,000 --> 00:35:32,199
gods that you know I can end up with my

786
00:35:32,239 --> 00:35:36,480
Manning moment where he eventually breaks through Brady, because it

787
00:35:36,519 --> 00:35:39,400
felt like that for years in that rivalry as well,

788
00:35:39,400 --> 00:35:40,880
and Manning him getting a couple.

789
00:35:41,360 --> 00:35:44,159
Speaker 2: Here's oping that Allen can as well, at least if

790
00:35:44,159 --> 00:35:44,800
you're a Bills fan.

791
00:35:45,639 --> 00:35:48,239
Speaker 5: Gosh, I mean when we were growing up, they lost

792
00:35:48,280 --> 00:35:51,119
four straight Super Bowl So I can't imagine what that

793
00:35:51,159 --> 00:35:54,199
felt like for Jim Kelly and Thurman Thomas and Brucevan

794
00:35:54,239 --> 00:35:58,519
all those great Bills teams. But it's a different situation

795
00:35:58,679 --> 00:36:01,440
if you're Josh Allen and the compared to some of

796
00:36:01,440 --> 00:36:04,960
the other teams, because you feel like you've gotten to

797
00:36:05,000 --> 00:36:07,000
that point and you can't figure it out.

798
00:36:07,159 --> 00:36:09,159
Speaker 2: Are you ever going to be able to figure it out?

799
00:36:09,239 --> 00:36:12,639
Speaker 5: And you're like, we do everything right and we can't

800
00:36:12,679 --> 00:36:15,000
get over this Chiefs hump. Like even the Bengals they

801
00:36:15,000 --> 00:36:16,960
got over at once, and so like there's a different

802
00:36:16,960 --> 00:36:19,360
belief for them if they get to that point. But

803
00:36:19,440 --> 00:36:21,920
it is so hard to get to that point in

804
00:36:21,960 --> 00:36:24,239
the NFL season. You put in so much work and

805
00:36:24,280 --> 00:36:26,000
then all of a sudden it's just taken away from you.

806
00:36:26,000 --> 00:36:28,000
Speaker 2: You don't have anything to show for.

807
00:36:28,159 --> 00:36:31,599
Speaker 5: Like the Commanders today, they're probably reflecting you, like, Okay,

808
00:36:31,719 --> 00:36:35,280
you know what, we got the stud rookie quarterback, We

809
00:36:35,400 --> 00:36:37,079
got eighty plus million salary.

810
00:36:37,679 --> 00:36:40,159
Speaker 2: Yeah, it's good, we got people locked up.

811
00:36:40,199 --> 00:36:41,960
Speaker 5: Hey, we'll be back even if you're not like you

812
00:36:42,039 --> 00:36:46,559
have that conversation today for the Bills today, they're like,

813
00:36:46,880 --> 00:36:49,320
what the hell do we have to do to beat

814
00:36:49,360 --> 00:36:49,840
this team?

815
00:36:50,000 --> 00:36:51,039
Speaker 2: Well, what do we have to do?

816
00:36:51,159 --> 00:36:54,079
Speaker 4: Because they're playing well in the games too, It's not

817
00:36:54,119 --> 00:36:55,239
like they're playing poorly.

818
00:36:55,519 --> 00:36:57,920
Speaker 2: They came back from eleven down to take that lead.

819
00:36:57,960 --> 00:37:00,400
Speaker 4: But then it's always something like this game, well twenty

820
00:37:00,400 --> 00:37:03,320
two twenty one, they have the fourth down at about

821
00:37:03,360 --> 00:37:06,400
midfield and they get soughed, right, I mean, you make

822
00:37:06,480 --> 00:37:08,599
that play. Who knows, maybe you win that game. So

823
00:37:09,599 --> 00:37:14,480
credits Kansas City. Another classic in a rivalry that is

824
00:37:14,519 --> 00:37:18,239
not one sided unless it's a playoff game. But shout

825
00:37:18,239 --> 00:37:21,039
out to the Chiefs man real quick here before you

826
00:37:21,079 --> 00:37:23,559
go to break, Jake, are you cheering.

827
00:37:23,320 --> 00:37:24,199
Speaker 2: For the Eagles?

828
00:37:24,719 --> 00:37:29,679
Speaker 4: The Eagles have never been like underdog or likable team,

829
00:37:29,840 --> 00:37:33,679
and yet with the Evil Empire that the Chiefs look

830
00:37:33,800 --> 00:37:36,119
more and more like a kind of like. I even

831
00:37:36,159 --> 00:37:41,599
have Giants fans saying that they are cheering for for

832
00:37:41,719 --> 00:37:42,239
the Birds.

833
00:37:42,719 --> 00:37:46,440
Speaker 5: Let's say we got a Giants podcast next talk. We

834
00:37:46,679 --> 00:37:51,199
should go ask those guys who they're rooting for. Everybody

835
00:37:51,400 --> 00:37:53,360
is tired of the Chiefs winning the Super Bowl.

836
00:37:53,480 --> 00:37:55,679
Speaker 2: Like nobody really wanted to see them there.

837
00:37:56,920 --> 00:38:00,760
Speaker 5: It's probably like storylines and ratings, WI probably good for

838
00:38:00,840 --> 00:38:02,559
the Chiefs and we're gonna be down there in New

839
00:38:02,639 --> 00:38:05,199
Orleans covering the game in a couple of weeks, and

840
00:38:05,519 --> 00:38:07,599
so you know, it would be good for us probably,

841
00:38:07,639 --> 00:38:10,360
But I would sacrifice some content for the Bills to

842
00:38:10,400 --> 00:38:14,039
have made the Super Bowl because my god, and uh,

843
00:38:14,480 --> 00:38:16,920
just the same thing over and over again, and.

844
00:38:16,880 --> 00:38:18,280
Speaker 2: It's it's the same people too.

845
00:38:19,000 --> 00:38:21,599
Speaker 5: Like even with like Brady and the Patriots, like like

846
00:38:21,679 --> 00:38:24,880
the stars outside of Brady, you kind of switch them up,

847
00:38:24,920 --> 00:38:27,000
but you still got Kelsey, you still got Jones, you

848
00:38:27,079 --> 00:38:30,239
still got obviously Andy Reid, like you still have like

849
00:38:30,320 --> 00:38:30,920
the stars.

850
00:38:31,159 --> 00:38:34,280
Speaker 4: They're still the stars for this, I think, I guess

851
00:38:34,320 --> 00:38:36,440
you're right. Even in the in the Patriot Dynasty, it

852
00:38:36,519 --> 00:38:36,960
was because.

853
00:38:36,800 --> 00:38:37,840
Speaker 2: It's a bit more spread out.

854
00:38:38,079 --> 00:38:42,360
Speaker 4: It was more rotating cast, like Welker and then Edelman

855
00:38:42,440 --> 00:38:44,360
and then and then I mean Randy Moss obviously at

856
00:38:44,360 --> 00:38:47,199
one point. Yeah, Troy Brown, like you go all the way,

857
00:38:47,280 --> 00:38:49,440
you know, it's like the kind of very beginning of it,

858
00:38:49,480 --> 00:38:52,280
and Dion branch and and ames like that.

859
00:38:52,719 --> 00:38:56,239
Speaker 2: Yeah, he had to Corey Dillon didn't he catch it.

860
00:38:56,440 --> 00:38:58,519
Speaker 4: I just feel like ty Law was a part of

861
00:38:58,559 --> 00:39:00,840
that secondary where they beat me in the playoffs. But

862
00:39:00,840 --> 00:39:03,039
it's because they would just like p I every play.

863
00:39:03,599 --> 00:39:05,440
They were just like it was like early Legion of

864
00:39:05,480 --> 00:39:07,239
Boom set. They're like, Nah, you ain't gonna call it

865
00:39:07,280 --> 00:39:10,599
all the time. We just gonna get pisical every single play. Anyway,

866
00:39:10,599 --> 00:39:15,039
whatever super Bowl set, Chief Seagulls again, what's gonna happen.

00:39:15,079 --> 00:39:16,400

Speaker 4: We get it into the Saints coaching search. We got

906

some basketball games that happened over the week. It's a

907
00:41:11,400 --> 00:41:14,960
baseball scrimmages. We got our Hunt Pummer player portal profile

coming up as well weekend winners ton on today's show.

909
00:41:19,519 --> 00:41:22,159
But I want to give a shout out to one

910
00:41:22,199 --> 00:41:27,199
of our former teammates, my guy, Calvin Sheppard, dude ol

911
00:41:27,360 --> 00:41:32,559
Shep as he was named Detroit Lions new defensive coordinator.

912
00:41:32,920 --> 00:41:35,559
For those who don't remember Shep, him and Perry Riley

913
00:41:35,599 --> 00:41:39,079
made up one of the most fearsome linebacking duos in

914
00:41:39,239 --> 00:41:42,320
college football back around, you know, like kind of was

915
00:41:42,320 --> 00:41:45,400
probably like five to nine, maybe six to ten. It

916
00:41:45,400 --> 00:41:49,360
could be a year off there. Two guys ended up

917
00:41:49,400 --> 00:41:52,519
playing in the league. Perry for I think over a decade,

918
00:41:52,880 --> 00:41:55,280
Kelvin goes into coaching. He was at Lush, was like

919
00:41:55,280 --> 00:41:58,400
a player personnel guy. Then he caught on and some

920
00:41:58,719 --> 00:42:02,239
role with the Lion's staff. And if you remember Jake,

921
00:42:02,320 --> 00:42:05,880
we saw him here years ago when the bad teams

922
00:42:06,119 --> 00:42:09,159
used to have to come coach the Senior Bowl, the

923
00:42:09,199 --> 00:42:11,400
lines were awful at the time, and you know, we're

924
00:42:11,440 --> 00:42:13,000
hanging out, we're drinking in the bars. That's why this

925
00:42:13,039 --> 00:42:15,480
place is crazy. All the NFL coaches just being normal

926
00:42:15,519 --> 00:42:19,440
people here. And I remember him telling us, like, yo,

927
00:42:19,559 --> 00:42:22,800
like Aaron Glynn, this dude's different, and like Dan Campbell,

928
00:42:22,840 --> 00:42:23,599
like this dude's different.

929
00:42:23,599 --> 00:42:24,199
Speaker 2: Like we got a.

930
00:42:24,119 --> 00:42:27,320
Speaker 4: Really good staff, and you could feel the chemistry kind

931
00:42:27,320 --> 00:42:29,480
of in the room as they're all kicking it. Now

932
00:42:29,559 --> 00:42:34,679
years later, the Lions are incredible. Everybody knows Dan Campbell's awesome.

933
00:42:34,679 --> 00:42:36,599
Aaron Glenn's now the head coach of the New York Jets,

934
00:42:36,679 --> 00:42:41,039
and Kelvin Sheppard is the new Detroit Lions defensive coordinator.

935
00:42:41,480 --> 00:42:44,639
Speaker 5: Man's so happy for our guys, shep And I mean.

936
00:42:44,480 --> 00:42:47,280
Speaker 2: What a quick rise. Yeah, coaching ranks, you're right.

937
00:42:47,280 --> 00:42:49,880
Speaker 5: I mean he's player personnel at LSU in twenty twenty,

938
00:42:50,119 --> 00:42:52,880
and kind of shortly after he retired, and then immediately

939
00:42:52,920 --> 00:42:53,760
that next year he's like.

940
00:42:53,719 --> 00:42:54,679
Speaker 2: All right, I want to coach.

941
00:42:55,000 --> 00:42:57,119
Speaker 5: I don't think the like player of personnel side of

942
00:42:57,199 --> 00:42:59,159
things is what I want to do. So he's the

943
00:42:59,159 --> 00:43:02,039
outside linebacker coaching twenty one, and then he gets a

944
00:43:02,039 --> 00:43:05,159
full time linebackers coach coaching job in twenty twenty two.

945
00:43:05,199 --> 00:43:09,280
He holds that down until obviously now the defensive coordinator position.

946
00:43:09,440 --> 00:43:12,079
But I mean that's a quick rise, yeah, and that

947
00:43:12,199 --> 00:43:15,280
just kind of shows you how impressed Dan Campbell and

948
00:43:15,320 --> 00:43:18,519
everybody was with Shepping. If I'm not mistaken, I think

949
00:43:18,559 --> 00:43:21,840
Shep was actually with Miami when Dan Campbell was the

950
00:43:21,840 --> 00:43:23,679
interim head coach there, So I think that's where that

951
00:43:23,760 --> 00:43:27,719
relationship started. And obviously he had to impress Dan Campbell

952
00:43:27,719 --> 00:43:30,679
because even like going from a player personnel in college

953
00:43:30,760 --> 00:43:34,760
to an outside linebackers coach, like that's his first coaching gig,

954
00:43:34,880 --> 00:43:38,400
was outside linebackers coach in the NFL. Shep certainly impressed

955
00:43:38,440 --> 00:43:39,599
Dan Campbell when they were together.

956
00:43:39,800 --> 00:43:44,760
Speaker 4: And what's crazy, Jake is like on a personal friend level, Look,

957
00:43:45,360 --> 00:43:49,000
sometimes the guys who go on to be the great coaches,

958
00:43:49,800 --> 00:43:51,960
you still love their teammates, But a lot of times

959
00:43:51,960 --> 00:43:54,960
they're kind of nerdy, you know, they're so football obsessed

960
00:43:55,559 --> 00:43:58,239
that you could tell, Like some guys are like, oh,

961
00:43:58,280 --> 00:44:00,000
like he's going to be a coach, you could just

962
00:44:00,119 --> 00:44:00,719
talent there.

963
00:44:00,760 --> 00:44:03,280
Speaker 5: But but like our boy August, who's gonna be coaching

964
00:44:03,320 --> 00:44:04,119
in the Senior.

965
00:44:03,880 --> 00:44:04,639
Speaker 2: Bowl this year.

966
00:44:05,679 --> 00:44:05,840
Speaker 3: I know.

967
00:44:06,079 --> 00:44:08,360
Speaker 5: Yeah, he's with San Francisco. He's gonna be one of

968
00:44:08,360 --> 00:44:11,599
the coaches. Like I could tell August, he played fullback.

969
00:44:12,280 --> 00:44:13,480
August is going to be a coach.

970
00:44:13,559 --> 00:44:13,760
Speaker 3: Yeah.

971
00:44:13,760 --> 00:44:16,360
Speaker 5: The dude's taking every single note on a yellow pad.

972
00:44:16,480 --> 00:44:18,360
He's nerdy about this stuff. He is going to be

973
00:44:18,400 --> 00:44:18,800
a coach.

974
00:44:18,960 --> 00:44:22,000
Speaker 4: Shep was always one of the brodies, which is crazy,

975
00:44:22,440 --> 00:44:26,960
like like like like we I mean, and he still is.

976
00:44:27,000 --> 00:44:27,480
Speaker 2: He's cool.

977
00:44:27,559 --> 00:44:33,159
Speaker 4: Yeah. So it's it's it's such an interesting uh dynamic

978
00:44:33,760 --> 00:44:36,719
where it kind of subverts a lot of your expectations.

979
00:44:36,880 --> 00:44:39,559
I mean, he was always a.

980
00:44:38,920 --> 00:44:40,280
Speaker 2: Very smart football player.

981
00:44:40,400 --> 00:44:42,599
Speaker 4: Yeah, it's just again he was one of the brodies

982
00:44:42,920 --> 00:44:43,840
personality wise.

983
00:44:43,920 --> 00:44:46,280
Speaker 2: Is interesting. Even how he looks. Dude, he's got the.

984
00:44:46,320 --> 00:44:50,039
Speaker 5: Uh oh, we gotta get this man at lost know

985
00:44:50,039 --> 00:44:50,480

00:44:50,559 --> 00:44:52,280
Speaker 2: Saw some incredible dreads going on.

987
00:44:52,360 --> 00:44:55,920
Speaker 4: Dude to shout out my guy, Kelvin Sheppard, defensive coordinator

00:45:09,960 --> 00:45:12,960
one of the best teams in the NFL. Yeah, like

995
00:45:13,119 --> 00:45:16,000
the Lions still have star power, the those their coaches,

996
00:45:16,159 --> 00:45:19,199
