Speaker 1 (00:00):
I wish I had a quarter for every time I
seen a little kid do a gritty.

Speaker 2 (00:03):
I'd be so rich. Gritty gritty.

Speaker 1 (00:05):
I love seeing the white guys that can't do the
gritty do the gritty after.

Speaker 2 (00:08):
Oh like me, just know no, like mac Jones.

Speaker 3 (00:11):
Mac Jones, he was gritting in the Pro Bowl and
they weren't even trying, and like he thought, he ran
by everyone. I'm like Mac Jones. Everyone literally fell on
the ground basically and acted like they were dad, and
you ran by everyone and you're gritting. I think that's
when Bill was like this guy gritting at the freaking
Pro Ball and no one was even trying.

Speaker 4 (00:28):
Welcome to Dudes on Dudes, I'm Julian Edelman, I'm Rob Gronkous, and.

Speaker 1 (00:33):
This is the show where your favorite dudes get to
talk about their favorite dudes.

Speaker 2 (00:36):
Yeah, baby, that's right, and the Super Bowl is set.

Speaker 3 (00:38):
There's one game lap, so we figured out it was
time to crown our favorite dudes of the.

Speaker 1 (00:44):
Year who are recovering today. An elite runner with that
cannon arm.

Speaker 3 (00:48):
He takes it to a new level every year, and
he took it to even another level this year. One
of the smoothest wide receivers in the game.

Speaker 1 (00:57):
There's those tho skinny dudes that have leverage, whippy string
and like that quickness. That's what he is in a
rookie that put the league on notice.

Speaker 2 (01:08):
This guy's special.

Speaker 3 (01:09):
There's never a stage that's too big for him yet,
even just as a rookie. And we wrap it up
by giving out our first annual Dude Awards, presented by.

Speaker 2 (01:18):
Cors Lights favorite beer. Let's Go Dudes On Dudes is
a production of iHeartRadio.

Speaker 1 (01:27):
Eagles versus the Chiefs. We've seen this before.

Speaker 2 (01:30):
Super Bowl rematch. We've seen this before.

Speaker 1 (01:32):
I lost fifty thousand dollars on this guy, Damnita the
last time.

Speaker 3 (01:35):
I think you should bet again, But this time I
think you should bet one hundred thousand, so then you're
up fifty thousand.

Speaker 2 (01:39):
I don't. I don't. I have nightmares.

Speaker 3 (01:41):
Sorry, Lily, I'll make the bet for you, Julian. If
I win, I'll give you fifty thousand dollars back.

Speaker 2 (01:47):
I just don't.

Speaker 1 (01:48):
I can't see the Eagles beating the Chiefs.

Speaker 3 (01:50):
I mean that Eagles ere time. I don't know the
Eagles offensive line. I feel like that's the only offensive
line that can handle Chris Jones and the rest of
the defense for the Chiefs. I mean that run game
with Saquon Barkley. I'm telling you, man, they might be
able to have some revenge from a couple.

Speaker 2 (02:05):
Of years of Ah yeah, I don't know. The Chiefs. Chiefs,
they just know how to win, man, know how to win.
They know how they know how.

Speaker 3 (02:12):
To you know, get it done in any situation that
is presented to them, and the star players know how
to step up in the most crucial times every single
big game.

Speaker 1 (02:21):
It's gonna be exciting, it is. Can't wait excited to
hit New Orleans, are you?

Speaker 2 (02:26):
I'm super excited.

Speaker 3 (02:27):
I mean the city is basically known for Mardi Gras,
that moos biggest party you know, of all time, you know,
in that state. So I'm excited about it. Man. Uh,
it's gonna be cool that you have the whole entire
crew together as well. You're going to be there, Tom's
going to be there, the whole entire Fox team is
going to be there. It's just going to be so
exciting just talking ball, going out the dinners, just exploring

(02:52):
the city, maybe hitting the casino as well.

Speaker 2 (02:55):
I can't wait to get down there. There's a casino there.
We got to well hit the dice. Yeah, we'll roll
that dice, rolling, rolling and shake, roll and rolling and shake.

Speaker 1 (03:05):
I mean, it's got to be a fun environment because
they've had so many Super Bowls here.

Speaker 3 (03:09):
Shake, shake and roll. Yeah, they've had They've had plenty
of Super Bowls here. Uh, the last time I was here,
actually I got a story. Super Bowl in New Orleans.
Last time I think was like two thousand and twelve.

Speaker 2 (03:24):
Yeah, I don't remember.

Speaker 3 (03:25):
Stacy James hit me up. I was out and about.
I was all over the internet in ESPN the next day. Hey, like,
you know, can you like it's fine you go out.
Can you just keep your shirt on? I'm like, yeah,
no problem, I'll keep my shirt on. So like, but
I'm gonna go out like I'm out of control. I'm
just my mindset was twenty three. I was like, no problem.

(03:47):
So then Steve Ridley was like, Yo, come to LSU.
I want to bring you to Bogies. I'm pretty sure
Bogey's was the bar that he brought me to. A LSU.

Speaker 2 (03:58):
It was like, you have no problem, I'm gonna leave
New Orleans for a night. You know.

Speaker 3 (04:02):
I'm still like a college kid. I'm only twenty three
years old.

Speaker 2 (04:04):
Fresh out Ridley's fresh out of LSU two. So he
knows everyone there. He's got the hook up to all
the bars, you know, so all the hotel rooms around there.
So we stay at a hotel room. We go out
to this place.

Speaker 3 (04:15):
Bogi's fans are going absolutely crazy. My shirt gets ripped off.
Oh I got the cast on as well my broken arm,
and I'm just chugging a beer and boom snapshot. I mean,
at one, I got to a level where I just
didn't care anymore, and I didn't even I didn't even
take my shirt off. Stacy, my shirt got ripped off

(04:37):
of me. So you told me not to take my
shirt off, so I didn't. When someone else takes it
off for you, that's not taking off your own shirt.
So technically I listened to Stacy James, the PR guy,
you know, the for the New England Patriots. So Stacy,
you can't be mad at me body, you know. And
then that picture was all over ESPN again the next day,
and he literally texted me, what did I ask you?

(04:59):
Just please don't take your shirt off? And I wrote
back to him, I did it.

Speaker 2 (05:03):
It got ripped off.

Speaker 3 (05:05):
Ye, so I'm excited for New Orleans again, and hopefully
my shirt stays on this time.

Speaker 2 (05:11):
It's gotten not but maybe my pants might come off.
Let's go, let's go.

Speaker 3 (05:17):
Let's get on this dude. This NFL quarterback. Oh, this
is a long one. Now, so long, sit back, relax
and just enjoyed the show. This NFL quarterback stands at
six foot five and weighs two hundred and thirty seven pounds.
He was selected as a seventh overall pick in the
twenty eighteen NFL Draft. Growing up on a farm in California,
he played at Releague College before transferring to the University

(05:40):
of Wyoming, where he became an all conference player, not
even All American, all conference only at Wyoming, and still,
you know, got drafted in the top ten. That's impressive,
though overlooked in high school. Kind of like what I
was just kind of saying. He transformed from a skinny
six foot three and one hundred and eighty pound player
to a powerhouse athlete who now you uses his imposing

(06:01):
size to bulldoze through defenders baldos. Maybe that's why he
is where he is, why he got drafted there, because
there's a lot of bulldozing snow out of the way,
you know, before coming before becoming an NFL star, he
spent his youth helping his family on their farm.

Speaker 2 (06:17):
Oh so he probably got farm strange. Country strong. That's
why no one can take him down.

Speaker 3 (06:22):
Country strong, developing the work ethic that would later fuel
his meteoric rise in football. And a twist of face,
another NFL player with the same exact name change his
surname to avoid confusion.

Speaker 2 (06:37):
Let's get on to Josh Allen.

Speaker 3 (06:39):
Everyone, but there was a Josh Allen that was a
DN linebacker for the Jacksonville Jaguars.

Speaker 2 (06:45):
He changed his name. I didn't say. He changed his
name to Hinz Allen. Yeah. And also his sister is
a professional basketball player for the Minnesota Lynx. Wow, what
a stud family. What's the first thing you think of
when you hear the name Josh Allen. Let me put
my put.

Speaker 3 (07:00):
The hat on and and I'm cool with wearing a
Buffalo hat. I'm a Buffalo. I was a Buffalo Bills
fan growing up as a kid. I did not like
Buffalo for the nine years I was in New England. Actually,
even when I was in Tampa too. I still didn't
like Buffalo, we played them a couple of times. But
I'm cool with Buffalo. Now I'm cool. I'm another Bills
fan once again because and I don't forget where I
come from, so I can wear this Buffalo Bill's hat

(07:23):
and be fine with That's cool with me.

Speaker 2 (07:26):
Oh all right, Oh yeah, Jules, can you answer that
question first thing that comes that comes to your mind
right now? What's what comes to your mind?

Speaker 1 (07:33):
Josh Allen Rob Gronkowski version of quarterback.

Speaker 2 (07:36):
Oh, I like that one, brother.

Speaker 1 (07:39):
Like he's big job. You always used to we always
used to call you beast mode. And he gets into
this beast mode where he takes over games with his size,
his speed, his arm.

Speaker 2 (07:52):
You know, we all.

Speaker 1 (07:53):
Thought this year was a rebuild year for the Buffalo Bills.
They are representing the AFC East in the Championship game
a lot before.

Speaker 3 (08:05):
You keep going, there's no such thing. It's like Tom
Brady being in New England. There's no such thing as
a rebuild year when you have Tom Brady at the
quarterback position. And now that's the same thing with Josh Allen.
There is no such thing as a rebuild year because
Josh Allen is at the quarterback helm and when he's
at the quarterback home, he's always going to find a
way to win the games. And also they got head

(08:27):
coach Sean McDermott as well, and he's there as well.
There's no such thing as a rebuilding year in Buffalo anymore.
They're always going to be contenders with those two.

Speaker 1 (08:35):
This could be one of his most impressive years.

Speaker 3 (08:37):
It is because it's actually a year where they didn't
you know, they were saying, oh, there's not enough talent
around him. He doesn't really have a wide receiver. He
makes a talent, Yeah, talent, and they got they traded
their tire receiver digs over to Houston. And just look
how much Josh Allen is thriving this year. It's just
truly showing how much knowledge he has of the game,

(08:57):
and how much intellectual he brings to the game as
well and to that offense, and just how skilled he
really is. This is the year that he has taken
it to a whole nother. He takes it to a
level new level every year, and he took it to
even another level this year.

Speaker 2 (09:10):
Jewels, he's impressive. Have you ever met him?

Speaker 3 (09:12):
I met him real quick at tight on you in
Nashville tight End University.

Speaker 2 (09:17):
Yeah, he went.

Speaker 3 (09:18):
He was the quarterback, and let me tell you, it
was amazing because you know, I always kind of dreamed
about playing for the Buffalo Bills because I'm a kid.
It's like you're dreaming for the Signersco forty nine ers.
You you thought it. You probably still think like, how
cool would that be if you almost went Exactly I
almost went to Buffalo as well, but it just never
really worked out. And we were talking, hassle. We were
talking at tight End you and he was throwing me

(09:39):
some passes up the scene, man, and he was just
laying that ball right and he got a singer, and
then he was trying to recruit me. He's like, come on,
come on, retirement, come to Buffalo. You know, look, we
would do big things. And I'm like, we would do
big things and and all that. But it just just
never happened.

Speaker 2 (09:54):
Man. I just was not you know, all these quarterbacks
trying to steal you. Yeah they are.

Speaker 3 (09:57):
They are, Joe Burrow, Josh Allen, Jesus. Just in the end,
it just, you know, I was just done with football.
It just wasn't there anymore. But I would have loved
to play, you know, with Josh Allen Buffalo at least
one year.

Speaker 2 (10:09):
It look good.

Speaker 3 (10:09):
That's why. That's what was intriguing me when I was
even talking to the Buffalo best. Yeah, Jeels, So a
couple of big time quarterbacks have recruited me.

Speaker 1 (10:17):
Yeah, have any recruited you before? Not really, I don't
think sy not. Probably an asshole now, Actually I don't know.

Speaker 2 (10:28):
You probably told him they sucked when you saw him.
You suck.

Speaker 3 (10:32):
I know how you get sometimes, Juels. You're just so
intense and you're so competitive and I love it so much.

Speaker 2 (10:37):
Oh yeah, well Brady did try to recruit me to Tampa.
That doesn't count. But he's been your quarterback your whole career. No,
I came in, Yeah, but you know what I mean,
came in. There's definitely been quarterbacks that try to recruit
you the other places.

Speaker 1 (10:49):
Yeah, but it's different. You were like a You're a phenomenon.
You're like John Travolta in that movie where he gets
struck by lightning and all of a sudden, you can
speak fucking Portuguese and Spanish.

Speaker 2 (11:00):
That's you.

Speaker 3 (11:02):
I'm like, just about the ya ya ya ya ya
ya yo wag.

Speaker 2 (11:07):
Well, football in America. No, yeah, I see you're like that.
I am, So let's get it.

Speaker 1 (11:13):
How about some day ball help Josh Allen as a quarterback?

Speaker 2 (11:16):
You think?

Speaker 3 (11:17):
Actually, when I was reading a synopsis, I was already
thinking that in my head. That is truly when Josh
Allen started breaking out as a quarterback that he is now.
Dabele brings the best out of players. You know, Dabel
as a head coach, they're struggling over there in New York,
you know. But put all that aside, because being a
head coach is totally different than being a position coach

(11:38):
and being an offensive coording, because you're truly working with
that guy every single day, just like Dabele worked with
me every single day, and he brings the.

Speaker 2 (11:45):
Best out of you. He knows how to motivate you.

Speaker 3 (11:47):
And I feel like Josh Allen was struggling his first
couple of years in Buffalo and he just needed that
guy to be around him to build up his confidence
and to show him, you know, the ins and outs
of the quarterback position. And I truly believe that Dabel
was the guy that got Josh Allen over to Hump
to be the quarterback that he is now and now

(12:09):
Josh Allen since he was coach on him, gave him
all that confidence. Dabell doesn't need to be there anymore
because now he has it and it's established into him,
and it's and it's in him now so he can
be that be that guy that Buffalo needs. He's the
Buffalo savior. They call him the Winter General, I think
over there because it's it's it's cold. It's the winter Soldier,

(12:29):
the General Soldier, winter Soldier, winter General.

Speaker 2 (12:32):
All those names. They love Josh seventeen, do they Nah?
They don't call him Jay. That Winter Soldier is pretty
cool though. But he a bill for life.

Speaker 3 (12:41):
I think I think he's a bill for He's a
bill for life if anything. If he's not, he'll go
to another team at the end of his career. That's
the only way that he would leave Buffalo. Like you're
talking like ten years from now, like one or two
years left.

Speaker 2 (12:54):
They draft the quarterback first round.

Speaker 3 (12:56):
They're grooming him for a little bit, and then Josh
Allen Lee's just to go somewhere else out like maybe
California or something. That's the only way these type of
quarterbacks leave their franchise. It's just at the end of
their career, but Dave all did an excellent job with him,
and I feel like that's when he started thriving.

Speaker 2 (13:12):
Josh Allen always had that mentality to be great. He
just needed to pulled out of him.

Speaker 3 (13:17):
And I believe, I mean, I wasn't there, but I
believe Dabel did because he was my coach and he
helped pull it out of me for years. So that's
why I feel like I may be wrong, but I
feel like I'm right in this situation, and Dabele helped
him out tremendously.

Speaker 1 (13:30):
Yeah, he reminds me and his story reminds me a
lot of Ben Roethlisberger. Ben went to Miami, Ohio and
came into the league, not a big name guy, but
lit it up. And he's just a faster like Big
Ben when he was young, was like manhandling guys. He
was a large human being. And that's what I feel

(13:51):
to a whole other level because Josh can jump over
you and he's got a lot more speed.

Speaker 2 (13:56):
But Big Ben was like that and won two Super Bowls.

Speaker 1 (13:58):
So hopefully Josh Shallen can you know, get over this
hump and do something.

Speaker 2 (14:04):
You know, hopefully he can.

Speaker 1 (14:07):
He can catch those demons in the back of his
head about Patrick Mahomes, because Patrick owns them.

Speaker 2 (14:12):
Patrick owns them in the in the postseason.

Speaker 3 (14:14):
But I mean it doesn't I wouldn't really say owned
because josh Allen showed out for all those games as well.
I mean they both threw for over three hundred yards
in the.

Speaker 2 (14:22):
Thirteen second division rule.

Speaker 3 (14:24):
Yeah, but that the thirteen second game wasn't on josh Allen.
Josh Allen went down and scored and gave him on
he three in the seconds left. That was on the
Bills defense. That was on the stafe there or or
whoever it was it was. It wasn't on Josh Allen.
Were they winning at that time or they just a
tie game? I think they were winning and then the
and then it went in the overtime or something they

(14:45):
kicked the field goal. But whatever, the thirteen seconds, I
can't really recall everything that happened. Josh Allen absolutely balled
out over three hundred yards three TVs zero interceptions. So
Patrick Mahomes really doesn't own Josh Allen. It's more like
Patrick Homes, just as Bills and the whole entire league
still a quarterback to the face of the team. You win,

(15:06):
it's your it's your praise. You lose, it's your praise.
What kind of dude is Josh Allen? What kind of
dude is Josh Allen? I mean this dude? He he
kind of freaky. I mean the way he hurd a linebacker.

Speaker 4 (15:17):
When he stud Yeah, yeah, you're not a stud if
you're in JUCO.

Speaker 2 (15:22):
That's a good point.

Speaker 3 (15:23):
You know, you can kind of become a stud, but
you're not fully you've been. If you're a study, you've
kind of been a stud your whole entire life, your
whole Yeah, he's freaky a little bit.

Speaker 2 (15:33):
He's definitely a dude's dude. He Oh, he really is.

Speaker 3 (15:36):
When we were at Titan Universe, he was cool with everyone, man,
everyone that I talked to him.

Speaker 2 (15:40):
Buffalo.

Speaker 3 (15:40):
I can tell you every single person loves Josh Allen,
everyone that has ever interacted with him, anyone that's ever
done a.

Speaker 2 (15:49):
Deal with home. He is beloved in Buffalo. Al right
on three, what do you think he is? One? Two?
Three freak?

Speaker 3 (15:56):
I mean just the way he hurdled over the linebacker
versus Minnesota Vikings.

Speaker 2 (16:01):
That just made him a freak right there? All done?
No more? He could throw the ball mile. I mean,
he's a freak.

Speaker 3 (16:08):
The way he can run the ball, that run versus
the Kansas City Chiefs and the regular season this year
to seal the deal.

Speaker 2 (16:13):
Freak freak.

Speaker 1 (16:17):
We'll be right back after this quick break. Who's our
next dude?

Speaker 2 (16:22):
Whatever paper I pull up?

Speaker 3 (16:24):
It's just there's like ten dudes that are just chilling
below me, just you know, like the zombies, like when
they're sinking and ground and like they're putting their hands
up and they're like pull me, save me, like you know,
right before they die. Well, there's like ten dudes below me, like, yo,
rob pull me. I'm a piece of paper and talk
about me. So let's see who we got.

Speaker 1 (16:43):
That sounds like the Detroit fan base leaving the stadium.

Speaker 2 (16:46):
Yeah, sure does. Wow.

Speaker 3 (16:49):
Oh well, well talking about Detroit, this guy's in the
same division.

Speaker 2 (16:55):
Oh so let's see what the summer is here. See
what we got this dynamic wide receiver.

Speaker 3 (17:02):
So he's a skilled player, Julian. He's played the same
position as you. You were a wide receiver. This guy's
a wide receiver. Okay, he wasn't the same position as me.
Just clarifying for you. Maybe you don't understand football anymore
since you've been out of it for a couple of years.
This dynamic wide receiver stands up six to one and
weighs one hundred and ninety five pounds, makes him a
formidable presence on the field. He was selected as a

(17:23):
twenty second overall pick in the first round of the
twenty twenty NFL Draft and has since amassed the most
receiving yards to a player's first five seasons in NFL history.
As a low three star prospect in high school, ranked
the three hundred and eighth best wide receiver in the nation,
he defied expectations to become one of the most explosive
players in LSU history, where he won the twenty twenty

(17:47):
College Football Playoff National Championship and led the country with
one hundred eleven receptions his junior season.

Speaker 2 (17:53):
Wow wow in college Wow spectacular. That's insane.

Speaker 3 (17:59):
At just nine years old old, this football phenomenon qualified
for the Punk Pass and Kick National Championship. Another punp
pass and kick you know contender. We also had Andy Reid, myself,
justin Jefferson, We're all in the same boat. Well, let's
get on to him. I just gave it away Justin
Jefferson is our dude here, justin Jefferson, Joe's get.

Speaker 2 (18:22):
That picture out. Come on, man, stop forgetting my shoulder.

Speaker 1 (18:25):
I boxed this morning and my shoulder literally just started
spasm on me.

Speaker 2 (18:28):
Really, I really, I mean.

Speaker 3 (18:30):
I think you need to get a massage. You want
me to come over there and massage shoulder? Or are
you gonna call a real massage there?

Speaker 2 (18:37):
Wolves? We'll keep it, uh Shohn Watson light here? All right,
all right, I won't do that then, all right?

Speaker 3 (18:45):
Well, justin Jefferson here, I'm cool with wearing a Minnesota
Vikings hat. I got nothing against them. I used to
Minnesota Vikings when I was a kid. Yeah, big, I'm
wearing this hat for in honor of Randy Moss, just
absolutely dominating as a minute Sota Viking in that Thanksgiving
game where he had like three catchers, one hundred eighty
yards and three touchdowns. So this Minnesota hats Vikings at

(19:07):
right now honor of Randy Moss. We know you're going
through a tough time right now.

Speaker 2 (19:11):
Brother. We love you, everyone's.

Speaker 3 (19:13):
Supporting you, we're all praying for we are man, and
this guy right here has done more than Randy Moss,
which is crazy in his first six years. Well, what's
the first thing you think of when you hear the
name Justin Jamal Jefferson.

Speaker 1 (19:32):
For me, I think it's selflessness that that that you know,
there was what Addison was balling earlier this season and
he says, if my team eats or something, I'm paraphrasing,
everyone eats, I'm happy. Like, I thought, that was really cool.
Guy that's secure with you know who. He is a

(19:54):
team guy. That's what everyone because everyone's looking at him.
He's the highest paid receiver, he's highest paid player at
the BO is played well deserved and when he says
that kind of thing, it makes everyone else like, oh,
we can't. We can't act foolish because our best player.
Like I thought, that's the first thing that came to
my mind. What's first thing comes to your mind?

Speaker 3 (20:14):
The best wide receiver in the NFL. Yeah, he's pretty
I mean there's Jamar Chase, but just over the last
three years, I got to give it to Justin Jefferson.
I mean, he's just a phenomenal athlete. Just his skill
set is second to none. I mean he's a littler guy.
He's skinny and it's impressive how some of the hits
that he can take. He's a he's a tough sob

(20:34):
out there, because to be that size, you got to
be like athletic to another level. And you got to
be slippery as well, because you're gonna get demolished by
a running back, I mean not by running back, by
a linebacker, once in a while, by a bigger safety,
and you got to be able to get up. Also,
you can't be taking those hits all the time. And
he's so slippery that he knows how to catch the

(20:56):
ball and you know, make a little tiny adjustment so
he doesn't take those hits. Because if he takes those
hits just on a continuous basis, that wouldn't be good
for his career overall. I'll start knocking him down. But
he's just that good at the position. He knows how
to avoid that contact and that's what keeps him going
a week in and week out. And just the way
he can get around defenders after he catches the ball too,

(21:17):
and make him miss and just have all the yards
after the catch. I mean, guy is just an athlete
out there. I love watching him play.

Speaker 1 (21:24):
He's wiry, he like there's those those real like skinny
dudes that have like that leverage, whippy strength, and like
that quickness.

Speaker 2 (21:34):
Like that's what he is, quickness to another level.

Speaker 1 (21:37):
He's quick. He can get in and out of breaks.
For how tall he is, I mean, he can run
the whole tree. He always comes down with the ball
whenever it's thrown his way. That that fourth down where
he's in triple coverage and Kirk Cousins hit him a
couple of years ago and he came down with it
one hand, Like that was an insane play. It was
like that was on fourth and long. When the defense

(21:58):
knows he's going to this guy, there's three guys on him.
He goes up and gets that ball. And he's done
that a bunch of times in his league. You know,
Like how crazy is to think that him, Jamar Chase,
and Joe Burrow were all on the same college team.

Speaker 3 (22:13):
Well, that's why they won the national championship. I think
they went undefeated as well. It was one of the
best college football teams in the history of college football.
And that's when I learned about Joe Burrow as well.
When I watched that college football National championship and that
team was just ridiculous. I mean, it's like they're wide receiver.

Speaker 2 (22:30):
You yeah, you know them. They are Odell. You got
Brian Thomas, Ohio State's.

Speaker 3 (22:37):
Up there, Ohio State neighbors. I still think that LSU
is number one. It's just incredible, just the guys that
they're producing out of LSU. I don't know what they're
feeding them or I don't know what's you know, causing
them to be so explosive as well. I want that
type of training, even though I'm not even playing anymore.
I just want to be explosive in life whatever I do.

(22:57):
Like these guys. I mean, I would just be double
then if I was like them. But justin Jefferson man,
like we're saying, the explosiveness, his bursts off the snap
is what gets him open majority of the time. If
you can. It's it's about getting open. You you get
open in the first three yards of your route majority
of the routes out there, And that's justin Jeffers Jefferson

(23:17):
for you, and just his fluid movements as well, just
how fluid he is, just how he can break down
at any given time and run any route on the
route tree. And the only way you can do that
because you're so bendable and so loose and so fluid.

Speaker 2 (23:30):
So he's reliable anywhere out.

Speaker 3 (23:32):
On the field at the slot position, you know, at
wide receiver number three, you can't line them up in
you know, near the line.

Speaker 2 (23:39):
He's just too skinny for that.

Speaker 3 (23:40):
He'll get Oh, he'll get tossed around if he has
to block a linebacker, because there are wide receivers at
block linebackers.

Speaker 2 (23:45):
He can't be doing it. I think he's done it.
He's probably done it, but he can't be doing that.

Speaker 1 (23:49):
He reminds me a lot when he I saw him
run a curl route once and he got so in
and out of that break with his frame, it.

Speaker 2 (23:55):
Reminded me of Chado Joe Sinko. You know, you're more
more fluid, but it was.

Speaker 1 (24:00):
You know, still Chad was like one of the best
cutters that we've seen in this game.

Speaker 2 (24:05):
And he's got that.

Speaker 1 (24:07):
You know, it's been pretty like the guys on his team,
Stephan Gilmore, who's been around a lot of great football.
You know, he goes out and says how hard he
goes and practice is rare. I mean, most guys they
think they could just turn it on in the game.
He actually puts the work in and I love hearing
that stuff.

Speaker 3 (24:25):
And when you hear about all the greatest receivers of
all time, ever, there's always someone out there on the
defense side of the ball that has a quote very
similar to that, and it's kind of the same in
your case, Julian, you're one of the best slot receivers
to ever play the game, hands down, and you're at
work ethic was phenomenal. You would go out there and
you would practice full speed every single practice, and that

(24:45):
would translate to the game and you're just like Justin
Jefferson position, though.

Speaker 2 (24:52):
You know I've been a couple of times.

Speaker 3 (24:55):
But what makes Justin Jefferson great as well is that
when the ball is up in the air, he can
make adjustments air adjustments, let's call it air adjustments, where
the matter it is, he can be up in the
air and he can adjust his hands, adjust his body,
adjust where the ball, body control, just where his feet
are going, just so we can get under the ball.
That body control that he has is through the roof.

(25:18):
And that's what really truly makes you the best receiver
in the game, because no matter how good you are,
there's always going to be a defensive back still covering
you and still on you. It's about how you can
just have that little advantage to get open. And the
way that he can control his body is what gives
him that advantage in the way that he can adjust
to them all.

Speaker 1 (25:37):
Yeah, I mean, who's top three receivers right now in
the NFL.

Speaker 3 (25:40):
Well, justin Jefferson's one of them. We're not going to
go any order. Jamar Chase, I think he's which is crazy.
They played together at LSU Joe Burrow one.

Speaker 1 (25:49):
Chase reminds me of He reminds me off Steve Smith
was six ' to one, like when you watch their
highlight because Steve Smith was like a very violent, like
he's explosive violent.

Speaker 2 (26:03):
He's just bigger. Yeah.

Speaker 3 (26:05):
But like Jamar Chase even has like another gear, like
another speed than Steve Smith.

Speaker 2 (26:10):
And see he Smith used to I mean you watched highlights, man,
he looks like he was a monster. He was. Yeah,
but I know Jamar Chase is a monster too. I'm
not I'm not trying to.

Speaker 3 (26:19):
Think that's how big of a monster Jamar Chases. I
think he has one more gear than Steve Smith. Yeah,
I think Steve Smith three I think Steve Smith was
is tougher.

Speaker 2 (26:29):
I don't know.

Speaker 4 (26:29):
We got it's Smith tough SB and he could talk
ship and talk garverage, he could talk.

Speaker 3 (26:35):
Jamar Chase had like one as like an extra gear
and like the speed department.

Speaker 1 (26:38):
He never get caught. Who else we got Justin Jefferson,
Jamar Chase.

Speaker 2 (26:43):
Oh yeah, who's the third?

Speaker 4 (26:44):
The third?

Speaker 2 (26:45):
I mean it's a clear number.

Speaker 3 (26:47):
One and two with Justin Jefferson and Jamar Chase and
then number three.

Speaker 2 (26:51):
I might have to get it a J. Brown if
he had a quarterback that was.

Speaker 3 (26:54):
Yeah, But you know everything factor is what about Cede Lamb?

Speaker 2 (26:58):
Though been performing? He was, he was paid this offseason.

Speaker 3 (27:02):
He he sure performed CD he was, he was, you know,
rarely reliable throughout the whole year.

Speaker 1 (27:09):
Got hurt a little bit, didn't he He didn't play,
he didn't finish the year.

Speaker 3 (27:13):
Well, you know something, We're not gonna do top three jewels.
We're just gonna do one and two because these guys
are just such a lie ahead of everyone else after
the after after them. So Justin Jefferson, Jamar Chase number
one and two wide receivers in the NFL.

Speaker 1 (27:28):
IF I have to watch another Pop Warner video or
flag football video with the kids scoring a touchdown and
doing the gritty. I wish I had I wish I
had a quarter for every time I seen a little
kid do a gritty, I'd be so rich. I mean this,
it is because of Justin Jefferson every time, I mean,
you do the gritty. When did he started doing that?

(27:48):
Like four years ago? It's still he is synonymous with
the gritty. Jamar Chase taught Justin Jefferson the gritty at LSU.
Jam Jamar Chase stays in college for your Justin Jefferson
goes to the league starts doing the gritty because the
guy who taught Jamar Chase the gritty is the guy
who started the gritty. So there's just so much gritty,

(28:09):
incessuous shit going on.

Speaker 2 (28:11):
A lot of grittiness is so great. A lot of grittiness,
but it's tight.

Speaker 3 (28:15):
I guess that's what makes you the best receivers in
the NFL.

Speaker 2 (28:19):
You gotta be able to grit gott to hit the grizz.
They must just sit there and train, like doing the
gritty for like sixteen hours straight a day.

Speaker 1 (28:25):
Like I love seeing the white guys that can't do
the gritty gritty after oh like me just now, no,
like Yoseki, You're right, I.

Speaker 3 (28:32):
Can't do the gritty, gretty, gritty gritty Mac Johns, Mac Jones,
he was gritting in the Pro Bowl and they weren't
even trying, and like he thought, he ran by everyone.
I'm like Mac Jones. Everyone literally fell on the ground
basically and acted like they were dad, And you ran
by everyone and you're gritting. I think that's when Bill
was like this guy gritting at the fricking Pro Ball
and no one was even trying.

Speaker 2 (28:52):
Can't gritty? Yeah? What the same with? Yeah, who'd you say?
The tight end? Jazaki griddy? I think he makes grimy too. Yeah, yeah,
I think.

Speaker 1 (29:00):
He makes fun. He's like, I don't know, it's I
love watching it. It's fun, all right. What kind of
dude is justin Jefferson?

Speaker 3 (29:08):
Yeah, what kind of dude is? He's swaggy that's the time.
He's a swaggy dude. But that's not one of the
categories here, Jules.

Speaker 2 (29:14):
He's definitely a dog. He's definitely a dud dude.

Speaker 1 (29:17):
Everyone like you could tell that everyone loves him and
he's a glue guy.

Speaker 2 (29:22):
Clearly from his quote player, no doubt about that.

Speaker 3 (29:26):
But I kind of feel like I know this category
just because just how special of a player he is.

Speaker 2 (29:33):
So on three, what do you three? One two? Three? Yeah,
I mean yeah, he's out there on the football field.

Speaker 1 (29:41):
He's just a stud. He's consistent. He's what you want
your younger players to be. When you you talk about
guys that are your best players on your team, your
your most influential guys on your team, that's who you want.
He's just a stud. And what about those chains? Always
got change?

Speaker 2 (30:00):
So you're studley if you're wearing those chains, swags and swag. Stud.

Speaker 3 (30:05):
Let's get let's get Let's get on to our next two.

Speaker 2 (30:09):
We'll be right back after this quick break. All right,
here we go, standing at sixty four six. You know
who this is? I don't. I knew you win it
and weighing two hundred five pounds. How about that? Nope, yeah,
I knew you went.

Speaker 3 (30:23):
This dual threat quarterback has already garnered attention for his
dynamic play making ability. He was selected second overall in
the twenty twenty four NFL Draft Washington Commander.

Speaker 2 (30:34):
Sure, yeah me too.

Speaker 3 (30:36):
He played college football at LSU, where he won the
Heisman Trophy raised in San Bernardino.

Speaker 1 (30:43):
San Bernardino, the home place of I believe McDonald's really,
I don't.

Speaker 2 (30:47):
Know, I want mac. Yeah.

Speaker 3 (30:49):
He set multiple state records for passing yards and touchdowns
in high school, earning Gatorade Player of the Year honors
in California. During his rookie season, he became a Rookie
of the Year candidate and led his team to the
NFC championship.

Speaker 2 (31:05):
Let's get on to Jaden Daniels.

Speaker 3 (31:08):
That's right, baby, had On and Jules, what's the first
thing you think of when you hear the name Jaden Daniels.

Speaker 2 (31:18):
First thing I think about when I think of Jaden Daniels.

Speaker 1 (31:23):
Is calm, cool and collect I mean, he's doing things
right now.

Speaker 2 (31:30):
That that no rookie quarterback has ever done. He's doing
things that veteran quarterbacks don't do.

Speaker 1 (31:37):
I mean, it's been like unreal to watch him play
like in crucial situations. Everyone thinks he's, you know, a
running guy, but he's delivered crazy situational like drives where
he capitalized on a third down or or you know,
he capitalized on a fourth down throwing the football. I

(31:59):
mean he east dissecting man. I'm so it's been so
impressive to watch. I'm hat a loss of words because
these last couple of years, we've seen quarterbacks come out
and play very strong rookie years.

Speaker 2 (32:12):
You know c J.

Speaker 1 (32:13):
Stroud last year, and then Jaden did like that was
like the best rookie season all time for a quarterback.
Then Jaydon Daniels comes here in the league and he's
got two playoff wins and this was a joke of
a franchise.

Speaker 2 (32:27):
A joke they only won four games last year. I mean,
it is unreal.

Speaker 1 (32:31):
You gotta tip your cap to dan Quinn Cliff Kingsbury.
Cliff's fucking developing this kid. I watched his stats. I
watched his film from you know, we were watching this
film in college and you could see he was a
gifted guy. But you watched it in the league and
now he's like he's progressing through these his progressions and
he's delivering the ball over the middle of the field.

Speaker 2 (32:53):
He watched his highlight film in college.

Speaker 1 (32:57):
I mean he's throwing them Eleak neighbors Brian Thomas, and
he's throwing all these go routes, which he's putting them
right where they have to be. I've been watching them
dissect defenses. I mean, he is so impressive.

Speaker 3 (33:08):
What do you think the Washington Commanders first year ownership,
first year head coach, first year offensive coordinator, first year
everything else that they got going on every first year
and the most important piece rookie quarterback Jaden Daniels without

(33:29):
a doubt.

Speaker 2 (33:29):
Put it that way. This guy's special.

Speaker 3 (33:32):
He's there's never a stage that's too big for him yet,
even just as a rookie, and I would I would
date back to that is because you got to have
experience in order to be able to handle a stage
that big. And he was handling that stage when he
was at LSU. I mean, you're in front of eighty
thousand people a week when you're one hundred tho hundred
people a week when you're in the SEC. And on

(33:53):
top of it, he's so experienced. He played about what
four or five years in college's years twenty five years yeah,
twenty five years old. He's just like bow Knicks. Those
guys stepped in and they handled every situation that were
thrown at them because they played so much football already
in college. So to all your quarterbacks out there staying
in college for four or five years is fine. You're
still gonna get a chance at the NFL and it

(34:14):
actually might make you better, you know, your first you know,
year or two in the NFL, because you're developed already,
you already seen so many situations, you already seen so
much good football you know coming at you. So Jaden
Daniels is one of those guys that represents that that
you can be totally ready even after a five year
even after staying for five years in college, which is
which is amazing, what are you doing? But yeah, he's

(34:36):
the most important piece to this new Washington Commanders, this
new style of everything that they represent. His offensive coordinator, obviously,
Cliff Kingsbury, I think has helped him out tremendously as well.
He's like a quarterback whisperer. He knows how to relate
to the young bucks. He had what he had Patrick
Mahomes in college. He in Arizona, Kyler Murray he dealt

(35:00):
with as well and helped develop him.

Speaker 2 (35:02):
And he's doing He's very successful at the quarterback.

Speaker 1 (35:04):
Cliff and what was it there's some micd up stuff
or there was an interview with some of the players.
Cliff's over here talking about Instagram models with some of
these guys, like they just have such a connection.

Speaker 2 (35:15):
That's how we relate to these young bodies.

Speaker 1 (35:17):
I mean, they got connection right now. It's been so.

Speaker 2 (35:19):
Fun about that. I don't know.

Speaker 1 (35:21):
I don't know anything about I swear all these guys
over here was talking about it.

Speaker 3 (35:27):
I don't either, But Cliff, click on my explore page.
It's all Frenchies. They have smart instincts. He's a dynamic
threat as well. Yeah, everyone's like, hey, get down because
he's skinny. Man. Those linebackers get ahold of him. They
could do some damage to him. But he's just got
to get down. I mean, yeah, you have to read
the book. He's a young buckstill, so you can take
a couple of heads. But he's slippery enough, like you

(35:47):
said that he can maybe give a guy or to
avoid it. I mean he's got consistency as well. That's
what makes a great quarterback is this guy has consistency
as just a rookie. You know, that's incredible. I mean
he gets through his reads quickly as well.

Speaker 1 (36:04):
Big hands, he got big hands, Yeah, huge hands.

Speaker 2 (36:08):
That pinix uh.

Speaker 3 (36:11):
That might have been panicked. Looks like a guy that
would have big hands. Jaden Daniels looks like, you know,
he's so skinny, he might just have average hands.

Speaker 2 (36:18):
I love how he is at the podium too. He's
just calm all over the place.

Speaker 3 (36:22):
He's calm under pressure, He's calm at the podium, he's
calm after you know, when he's doing interviews after the game.

Speaker 2 (36:27):
He's just calm at all time.

Speaker 3 (36:28):
And I swear you gotta have that personality like that
to be a quarterback in the NFL. It's kind of
like being a golfer a little bit. You just gotta
be calm the whole entire, you know day, because he's
gonna be ups, there's gonna be downs, and then if
you're just in the middle, you're just always ready to
go at any given time.

Speaker 2 (36:44):
Calm he was. He he was in pressure eyed situations. Pressure,
but like there's gotta be a time where you got
to pick it up. You got to pick it up.

Speaker 3 (36:53):
But Jaden's comment at all times, I feel like it
just goes with him. He does, and his leadership is
just a rookies incredible. I would say his days, you
know at LSU, have gotten him that that skill set
to have that leadership and also he bounced around a
little bit in college. So do you think guys that
bounce around like that in college does that help their leadership?

(37:15):
And that helps their knowledge of the game because they're
learning so many different systems and you got to become
a leader instantly when you get to a new school.

Speaker 1 (37:21):
Well, I think that the experience of having to gain
the respect of a new team multiple times puts him
in a great position to go and if he's balling, great,
do the same thing in the league. And that's and
that's what we're seeing. I mean, he's gotten the respect
of his team at Arizona State LSU, and now you

(37:41):
can see that the team is rallying behind him.

Speaker 2 (37:44):
I mean, Terry mclaurin's happy.

Speaker 1 (37:46):
He's been you know, he's been playing with no quarterbacks
his whole career. Finally as a quarterback and look at
you know, the damage he's done this year.

Speaker 2 (37:54):
I just think it's I mean, he's he's just he's.

Speaker 3 (37:57):
Unreal any any And what's cool is that the Washington
Commanders surrounded him with the pieces to succeed as well.
They went out, they got veteran running back Austin Eckler,
who's a beast running the ball right out of the
backfield on third downs in passing situations, they get a
Holda's a veteran tight end who's very consistent you know,
out there out in the field, who he's been feeding

(38:19):
uh throughout the playoffs as well. Then you got superstar
wide receiver McLaurin who's been there for a while and
needed a quarterback, so it was a win win situation
for them as well. And then you got him with
one of the best, you know, new head coaches in
the game as well, dan Quinn.

Speaker 2 (38:33):
And I believe dan Quinn is the reason now if.

Speaker 3 (38:35):
You look at it, why the Cowboys were twelve and
five over the last couple of years. I mean, without
him being with the Dallas Cowboys, they absolutely tanked this
year on the defensive side of the ball. And even
Michael Parsons even brought up that they missed dan Quinn
throughout this season as well. So dan Quinn, you got
to give kudos to him for developing, uh, you know,
helping with the development of Jaden Daniels, but also boosting

(38:56):
that defense and just the team overall, the morale, uh,
you know, for the Washington Commanders. Now, I see why
the Cowboys were that good over the last couple of years.

Speaker 1 (39:05):
And and dan Quinn and this is we're talking about
Jaydon Daniels. But dan Quinn, this is a typic of
the cap for the defensive coaches that get a bad
rap when you're looking at this, Oh, like we got
a new young quarterback. Let's let's surround him with the
quarterback guru or something like like dan Quinn's a he's
defensive guy. He's developing Dave Jayde Daniels. Now, I know

(39:27):
Cliff Kingsbury is a huge part of that, but you
know this is this is big for defen takes everyone.

Speaker 2 (39:31):
It takes everyone.

Speaker 3 (39:32):
Man, you gotta have that head coach all in to
develop him too, no doubt about that. Remember that hal
Mary though against Chicago. Do you think that changed their
season this year when when Jayde and Daniels the second
pick overall Hell married the first pick overall Cal Williams.
I mean, was that the game changing of like game
changing event, game changing play of their season?

Speaker 2 (39:54):
You think?

Speaker 1 (39:54):
I think that's one of those moments where you got
like a destiny team. It's a destinity team moment. When
you look back on it, that one play is going
to be signatured on all the highlights and all everything,
because you know, they needed that to win that game.
And that's a huge part of the reason why they're
in the playoffs. You know, that's how that's why the
NFL's best.

Speaker 2 (40:15):
Every game counts.

Speaker 1 (40:17):
You're you know, we're gonna look back and all those
games that you know, the Cincinnati Bengals lost because of
a play, or you know, the Chicago Bears lost because
of you know, a bad.

Speaker 2 (40:29):
Play here or there.

Speaker 1 (40:30):
You know, these this team right here, the Washington Commanders,
they've had those plays and that's why they're in the
position that they're in. And it's been remarkable because you're
doing it with a young guy that's never done.

Speaker 2 (40:42):
It, and he's either he looks like he is.

Speaker 1 (40:45):
I I mean, I usually am so pessimistic, like deep
down inside with like young quarterbacks in the playoffs.

Speaker 2 (40:52):
Like he looks good.

Speaker 3 (40:54):
He looks good, he looks like a savvy vat like
he's been playing for like five years.

Speaker 1 (40:59):
He closed the game down like even when because when
you watch him on the sidelines and he makes everyone
miss and he gets out right away and he protects himself,
but he gets out like he's always like he's always
a step.

Speaker 2 (41:11):
Ahead of the defender.

Speaker 1 (41:13):
And then even when they're blitzing them, like he sits
there and they're so scared to fully.

Speaker 2 (41:17):
Go at him because they can make them.

Speaker 1 (41:19):
They got made missed earlier in that game, so there's
a bit of hesitation, and then he's delivering the football on.

Speaker 2 (41:25):
These blitz zeros.

Speaker 1 (41:26):
He's defeated blitz zero a whole lot of bunch this year,
like up to like more than a lot of these
quarterbacks in crucial situation, gotta have it situations.

Speaker 2 (41:36):
It's been crazy.

Speaker 3 (41:36):
And when you can beat blitz zero as a quarterback,
especially when you're that young, you're gonna be set up
for rest of your career. And then they're gonna stop
pressing and then the run game just opens up that
much more. And it's wild that he's that the game
is that slow for him that he can beat blitzero
and put the ball where he needs to put it
in like a split second, which is just incredible. I
got a question for you, Juel's who is a better

(41:58):
passer right now? Jayden Daniels or Lamar Jackson. Oh, won't
be scared. Won't be scared. I mean the kids was
scared of the answer. I'll tell you right now is
scared to your answer?

Speaker 2 (42:13):
Sound?

Speaker 1 (42:14):
But you said it on the blitz zero point. Lamar's
last two seasons have ended on blaz zero.

Speaker 3 (42:19):
You'll put your money on Lamar Jackson or Jade and
Daniels to handle that blitz zero.

Speaker 2 (42:25):
Daniels, Oh, you heard it here first, folks, you heard
it here. I'm going Jade and Daniels. I think he's good.
Who's got who's got better legs? Lamar Jackson or Jaden Daniel.
There we go. Okay, that makes up for it.

Speaker 3 (42:42):
Okay, Mars beasts Jayden Daniels or Martin or Michael Vick

arm in there. Got it, there's one. I got it.

Speaker 1 (45:36):
They're cold, they're blue, and just remember the Colorado.

Speaker 3 (45:41):
Cheer Dudes of the Year, Dudes of the Year, let's
go brought to you by Corps Light.

Speaker 2 (45:50):
Ah takes so a good one. It hits your lips.
Let's get into it and delicious. All right. We got
three three awards this year.

Speaker 1 (45:58):
Well we'll build it up as this this thing snowballs,
but we wanted to keep it with three must have
awards award one New Dude of the Year, the new
Dude of the Year. Used to call anyone who is
new new dude. This is new Dude of the year.
It's a new England thing. It's an everywhere thing, your
new dude, your.

Speaker 3 (46:20):
Dude, dude new and e w dude, new dude. I
just want to clarify that.

Speaker 2 (46:26):
So New Dude of the Year are nominees.

Speaker 1 (46:30):
Lad McConkie, I mean, we had to throw a silver
bullet in there.

Speaker 2 (46:36):
You know what I mean?

Speaker 3 (46:37):
El bullet over one hundred and ninety yards in his
first career playoff game as a rookie.

Speaker 2 (46:42):
One hundred and ninety yards in the playoffs.

Speaker 3 (46:44):
Man, that dude just just turned it up another level.

Speaker 2 (46:48):
He was their most consistent receiver as a rookie. As
a rook I can't wait to watch him grow.

Speaker 1 (46:55):
They need to get another outside piece for him to
compliment him, or a big gas tight end you and
they can do something special.

Speaker 2 (47:02):
Nominee number two Drake May. Oh, that's a good nominee.

Speaker 1 (47:07):
He looks like we found our future in New England.
Kayod he had He outplayed my expectations this year under
the circumstances of you know what they have, what was given,
what was given. He made a lot of plays. Hopefully
he can build off this.

Speaker 3 (47:26):
We got to get Drake May an offensive line and
a wide receiver number one.

Speaker 2 (47:31):
Whatever it takes.

Speaker 3 (47:32):
We need this guy to flourish, and he will flourish
no matter what the situation is. But we want to
really see him blossom into the player that he can
really be. So let's just get him those guys, all right.
We got to want to see it. We want to
see it.

Speaker 2 (47:45):
Got it. Definitely a true qualifier for New Dude of
the Year.

Speaker 1 (47:50):
And you have Rapes and then our last Jaden Daniels
New Dude of the Year, rookie quarterback, I mean went
to NFC Championship. This kid has done things that we
haven't seen from a rookie and has looked like a
poised veteran all year.

Speaker 4 (48:09):
He's definitely a chill new dude, Yeah, no doubt about that.
And he's also just so chill in the pocket as well.
And he's cool, he's calm. He goes through all his reads.
You see who's open. He checks it down when the
checkdown is necessary. He bombs it and airs it out
when that's necessary as well, when it's needed for the commanders.

Speaker 3 (48:29):
So I'm telling you he's the new he is the
new Dude of the Year. But I can tell you this,
he's not playing like a new dude. He's playing like
a veteran. He's playing like a vet.

Speaker 1 (48:40):
He's like the I want to call him the answer,
because he needed to answer like three things last He
had to answer like four drives in that divisional round
against Detroit. Every time Detroit scored, he answered, so he's
like AI.

Speaker 3 (48:58):
And on top of that as well, he said one
necessary in the regular season as well. I think five
of their wins came down to the final last drive
and he.

Speaker 2 (49:07):
Freaking came through. He was the answer. He was talking
about Allen Iverson.

Speaker 3 (49:13):
Allen Iverson, he's talking about that. I'm not the actual
AI technology.

Speaker 1 (49:20):
And yes it's Jayden Daniels.

Speaker 2 (49:30):
Jaden new Dude of the Year we got. We gotta said,
he had an unbelievable year.

Speaker 3 (49:35):
He sure that he can throw the ball, he can
go through all his reads, he can run the ball
as well for a first down.

Speaker 2 (49:41):
He's a skinny.

Speaker 3 (49:41):
Dude out there. But let me tell you he's an
athletic dude as well. And uh, players love him. Team player.
He's got a great offensive coinator that's you know, helping
him and developing him as well, a QB whisperer and
Cliff Kingsbury.

Speaker 2 (49:54):
So Jade and Daniels props to you, man.

Speaker 3 (49:57):
I would say the experience, you know, through college has
definitely set him up for success in the NFL. He's
about what twenty four, twenty five years old. Yeah, that's
kind of an old rookie. I got drafted at twenty
years old, so he was ready to go. So great
pick by the Washington commanders knowing that this guy was
going to be a breakout star right away.

Speaker 1 (50:16):
Looks looks like he's gonna be able to build off
that too with his mindset, no doubt. Let's get into
our next word, rob, I think this is very appropriate,
especially from the organization we came from, to all the
people in the media. From that organization, Let's have media
do to the year.

Speaker 3 (50:34):
Well, our first nominee, obviously, we're gonna go with one
of the greatest players of all time, if not the
greatest players player of all time.

Speaker 2 (50:41):
Tom Brady. Tom brady first.

Speaker 3 (50:43):
Year in the media in the year as being an
analyst in the booth and breaking down games, commentating on
games started a little slow, but that's truly understandable. That's
one of the toughest jobs in the world. But let
me tell you, this guy is apps alutely dominating the playoffs.
You know, yes, wait, wait a minute, one of the

(51:10):
toughest jobs in the world. You mean to tell me
if you went to Gloucester, Massachusetts right now during fucking
storm season and you went to those fishermen and said, hey,
can you get in front of a fucking camera and
talk about a game?

Speaker 1 (51:23):
What would they say that? You think that's tougher.

Speaker 2 (51:25):
Than their job.

Speaker 1 (51:25):
They're about to go get a million tuna and maybe
not even come back.

Speaker 3 (51:30):
All right, all right, mentally tough, mentally tough, because you
got to you may not come back.

Speaker 2 (51:37):
Yeah, but you gotta be physically tough. I'm you gotta
be physically tough.

Speaker 3 (51:42):
You got to build up that muscle strength and that
risk and that bicep and just keep reeling and reeling
and really in those tunas, they're hardcore. There's some three
hundred pounders out there if you ask me. And then
sometimes on accident, you may catch a fish, I mean,
may catch a shark or something, which those are tough
as well.

Speaker 2 (51:57):
Though, tough job, and you think you have a tuna,
but you're really.

Speaker 3 (51:59):
There's a sar on the line that's just trying to
You're just trying to reeland and then boom and you're
just worn out and then you can't even catch tune
after that.

Speaker 1 (52:05):
So yeah, so Tom Brady's one of the numintees. Yeah,
Tom Brady, and then our next nominee, coach Bill Belichick. Yeah,
I mean media butterfly Bill Belichick. I can't even pinpoint,
like what area of the media that he represented because
he had like fifteen media jobs. I mean he was
on the back cash, podcasting, NFL inside, did the draft,

(52:29):
Instagram media.

Speaker 2 (52:30):
Now as well. Didn't do our media.

Speaker 3 (52:32):
Yeah, doesn't doesn't help us out. He doesn't come and
hang out with us.

Speaker 2 (52:35):
But he's a nominee. But he is a nominee. We'll
give it to him and.

Speaker 1 (52:39):
Then our last nominee, Randy Moss. Always great watching him
break down the game. He's fun. We wanted to give
a shout out Team Moss. He's gonna most this cancer.
He's kicking ass.

Speaker 3 (52:53):
I love Randy Moss's segment on ESPN You've Got It's
one of the coolest segments that ESPN does. It's one
of the coolest segments that they have on the pregame
show on Sundays, you know, before the NFL games. But
we want to give a shout out to Randy Moss Man.

Speaker 2 (53:09):
We love you.

Speaker 3 (53:09):
We know you're going through some tough times right now.
We love being your teammate. Julian was a teammate for
about a year and in some games I was just
your teammate for three weeks, you know, throughout my rookie year,
and I looked up to you big time, Moss. So
we're we're hoping for the best for you, man, we're
praying for you, and we know how strong you are
and you're gonna come back better than ever.

Speaker 1 (53:29):
And he's really good in the media, Yeah, he really,
he's he's fun, he's energetic. He always has a real
take on certain shit, like I love watching him on TV.

Speaker 2 (53:40):
Drum roll, who's the winner?

Speaker 3 (53:41):
What's funny is we are a little biased here by
picking out Patriots. But what's so funny is that when
we were with the Patriots, you don't talk to the media.
I know, it is like ironic that we're all in
the Patriot organization and you weren't supposed to give the
media anything or talk about anything and not really talk
to the media. And now all Patriots are up for

(54:05):
media dude of the Year. That's ironic, that's ironic. Ironic.

Speaker 1 (54:08):
All right, drum roll, who's the winner? Randy Moss Media
Guy of the Year. To go out and beat this thing.

Speaker 3 (54:22):
Go Moss it, buddy, Brady Ballichick, You've got Moss, you.

Speaker 1 (54:27):
Got most and then lastly, our last award, the ultimate
football Dude of the Year.

Speaker 3 (54:34):
Before you get onto an award, I'm thirsty. I gotta
drink a little course.

Speaker 1 (54:38):
Get in there, buddy. Our first nominee football dude, easy
Dan Campbell. We all have seen him. He is a
football dude through and through. Our second nominee, Josh Allen.
We had to throw a player in there, and he's
a guy that looks like a football dude, grew up
on a goddamn farm, transformed from jucode to Wyoming to

(55:02):
like the best quarterback in the league. This guy's a
football dude through and through. And then lastly, Little Curveball,
someone that I love watching.

Speaker 3 (55:11):
He's reviving his career right now, reviving, reviving John Gruden.

Speaker 2 (55:17):
He is a football dude anytime you get to watch him.

Speaker 1 (55:21):
Legit, a super Bowl winning head coach go in and
teach a bunch of guys and girls in a random
office a playbook, pure and coaching.

Speaker 2 (55:34):
Him like he would coach us.

Speaker 1 (55:35):
When you watch that stuff, that's how we get coached
and motherfucking him.

Speaker 2 (55:39):
That's pure football guy.

Speaker 3 (55:40):
And this is when you know you're the ultimate football
dude too. I mean, you could just tell like, I
go out to dinner and someone just random comes up
to me and they want to talk football. I'm like,
I'm out to dinner. I don't want to talk football.
I'm always talking football. I'm on Fox. I played the game,
you know, make me laugh. John Gruden, on the other hand,
he wants people to come up to him and talk football.
You talk football twenty four to seven, all day long, formations,

(56:02):
special teams, players, coaches, organizational front office guys like this
guy's down to talk football at all times. That's why
he's on the Ultimate Football Dude list here right.

Speaker 1 (56:14):
Now, all right, drum roll Football Dude of the Year.

Speaker 2 (56:19):
