You're excited. I'm very excited. The Huskers play this Thursday.

Speaker 2 (06:00):
I do.

Speaker 1 (06:01):
And it's here's the best television. And the thing that
fires Incinnati Bearcats go ahead, the thing they gives a
rule year three, the era.

Speaker 5 (06:12):
Go ahead, history, history, Matt rule year three, and the fire.
The thing that fires me up is everybody's making this
out to be a big game because it's neutral site,
and Cincinnati was good four years ago, five years ago
when Fickle was there. I have no doubts right now
that Nebraska is covering minus six and a half. It's

(06:32):
almost that's as salting. Yeah, I know, I know. I'm
on that with you.

Speaker 7 (06:39):
I'm on that.

Speaker 5 (06:39):
I might not move the line as much as you,
but I am with you on minus six and a half.
That's more of a locker room thing. The locker room
can come out Yes Wednesdays, it comes out at six pm.
Comes out at six pm on Wednesdays. That's the college
football Thursday six am is when the NFL portion comes out.
That is how the locker room schedule is going to
work this season. Obviously, we have Thanksgivings, we have these

(07:01):
other things. We'll figure all that out as it goes.

Speaker 1 (07:03):
If you're sitting there rocked up and you happen to
miss the locker room debut last week, we have Josh
Pate with the Boys college football. Taylor just said it.
Every Wednesday at six pm, the Boys and Josh Pate,
NFL's locker room. You got the Boys with Delaney Walker
and Clay Matthews. That's all season long, gentlemen, that is
all season long. Great news. Coming off of last week,

(07:27):
over a thousand people subscribe new subscribers when tuning into
those shows, Really, people are rocked up. They're ready to
go for this football po juice up.

Speaker 5 (07:34):
I will say this, if we're playing a transparency game
every year, week one of the locker room or whatever
gambling show we're doing kind of has that big spike.
It's up to me. You everybody on this bus and
everybody who watches this show to make sure that we're
following the picks all year long.

Speaker 1 (07:53):
But we deliver a great product.

Speaker 5 (07:55):
You got to deliver a great box. I'd like to
think Week zero Futures Picks went very well. Yes, I
think everybody was dialed in. Everybody was locked in. Clay
Matthews came in with an absolute bang on the NFL
locker room. Josh Pate Encyclopedia guy is incredible. Any team
you want to talk about, I can just say a
team to him. He's gonna start rattling off transfers, transfers in,

(08:17):
transfers out. Oh see, changes DC changes, how the school looks,
the vibe, the culture, everything. Josh Pat's that guy.

Speaker 1 (08:24):
Don't sleep on yourself. Now, you say Taylor one Arizona
State go you know everything about her? I am.

Speaker 5 (08:28):
I did, But I'm more of like a I'm like
a I can sprinkle on a certain teams here and there.
I'm not as widely versed as Josh paid is.

Speaker 1 (08:38):
That's why we got we.

Speaker 5 (08:39):
Got him on because I know when it comes to
Nebraska football, you have an idea of what's going on
around there. Yes, you have an idea. Speaking of Nebraska football,
Speaking of podcasts, Matt Ruhle House Rules first episode just
came out. I watched ten fifteen minutes of it. I
want to know what you think.

Speaker 1 (08:56):
Time out. I've got a place to Here's what its
Future's Day, It's futures. Also, Nebraska right now is plus
three twenty if you want to go ten plus wins
on the season.

Speaker 8 (09:05):
People, we saw this was week zero of college football
on Future's Day. This was a past bet, present bet.
But we know there's a little bit of a Will
Compton curse out there. Sometime he goes on bad betting streaks.
And I couldn't help but be watching the Kansas State game.
Open up Twitter and he places a live bet and
he says, now.

Speaker 9 (09:23):
We push money line. Kansas State doesn't hit. It was
so week zero.

Speaker 1 (09:30):
Iowa State scores, so we're down, Kansas State's down ten,
and I'm looking like, okay, do I hedge? Here do
I go? You know, Kansas State to cover? I think
it was sitting around nine and a half. But the
odds just weren't tickling my pickle the way I wanted
it to jp and I just saw Kansas State plus
one thousand. It was a plus a thousand or ten

(09:51):
thous it was plus one thousand plus one thousand. And
you know, okay, am I gonna chase with mind stign
and have to cover like twot whatever my unit is?
Two fifty five hundred is kind of my unit range?
Or do I just take fifty and sprinkle the money
line on Kansas State? Right? And what do you know?
I pounded and they bomb sure when they get the ball,

(10:11):
and I'm like, oh my god, I might be a
fucking genius right now. And you know, Kansas State ended
up losing the ball game.

Speaker 5 (10:18):
Now, in the Locker Room College Football Edition, you said
Kansas State is going to win the Big Twelve? Does
your opinion change it a lot? Watching?

Speaker 1 (10:25):
I think the Big Twelve is so wide open. It's
a long season. And that does you sit there? You
look at Iowa State, you see, uh is it rock though?

Speaker 5 (10:34):
Which coach cam fell with him?

Speaker 1 (10:37):
Coach Campbell? They can run the ball? Well, that little
white boy in the backfield now he was he was talking.

Speaker 5 (10:42):
Nothing gets you more rocked up than a white boy
tot in the rock.

Speaker 1 (10:44):
Yeah, but they can run the ball a little bit.
Kansas State's got to figure out who they want to be. Like,
it's like, Avery Johnson has this ceiling and everybody wants
him to touch this ceiling. But after watching that performance,
the grace I give him is just that the elements
in the environment. There's a wet ball field, you're going
to Ireland, you're doing all these things. But the way
he handled handled himself in a couple couple of pressure situations,

(11:05):
it's like, are we just gonna get the same guy,
because if it's the same guy, you're gonna be looking
at a four lost season again, four or five, you're
gonna get that floor with the coach climbing every time.
He's a culture guy. They him going through the air.
You just gotta build it. In the run game, you
gotta lean on him. You gotta lean on him. I'll
give you an example. It was like, and also drop
balls everywhere week zero. You gotta assume there's gonna be

(11:27):
bad football being played.

Speaker 9 (11:28):
A lot off the field stuff too, a lot off
the field.

Speaker 1 (11:30):
Yeah, yeah, we'll get to the We'll get to the
Johnson scuffle, the Johnson coffee.

Speaker 5 (11:36):
Date, Johnson and Johnson scuffle.

Speaker 1 (11:38):
Yeah, the Johnson and Johnson scuffle after the game. But
there was one where it's like I always State pressured
them and they're running to zero blitz. Offensive line did
a poor job picking it up, but somebody came screaming
right down the middle. There's a dude, you know, wide
open on that slot. He doesn't or Johnson aver he
doesn't see it, and he gets an intentional grounding penalty.

(11:59):
To me, it's like those cool, calm poise quarterbacks that
are tapping into their ceiling in college football. They're gonna
know what to do with the ball if they see
the offensive line break down in front of them. They're
obviously they see pressures coming. You're assuming nobody's gonna come
Scott Free up the middle. I think the offensive line
had a brain fart there, but the quarterback usually knows
what to do when they are absolutely dialed the fuck in. Yeah,

(12:22):
they won't be you know, falling back, getting not to
the line of scrimmage and getting a grounding penalty. In
my opinion, yeah, I think seeing his head on a swivel,
it's like those moments right there. And there's also drop balls,
Like there's this cat I think his last name is
it Bradley, number five. It's like a fourth and seven,
fourth and eight guys wide open. He drops the ball,
no doubt, but they were not hitting the pantic buttons specifically.

Speaker 5 (12:44):
Talking about that that play where Avery Johnson will kind
of screwed it over to the right a little bit,
didn't get it past the line of scrimmage, get an
intentional ground and call on the fourth and whatever. Avery
Johnson shows flashes of like amazing athletic ability. He can
run the ball really well in his career. He's got
he got some savviness on the east west category. But
when I look at him throw the football one his

(13:05):
motion doesn't. I mean, I'm not a quarterback coach. You
guys see me throw a ball. I'm not the greatest,
Like I don't have the greatest arm motion in the world.
We know, but if I'm watching a D one quarterback,
his release looks a little different to me. And he
has cats. This is after the weather subsides in the
first and second quarter. This is now you know, the
game is officially like people are getting into a groove
of the game. I'm watching Avery Johnson, I'm watching Rock

(13:26):
go beck I'm seeing Rock go becked. At one point,
he is five for twelve in completion. In his completions, however,
I saw four or five drops that were like right
in the bread basket, right in the hands where it's like,
especially when you could have in the film and it's
like the coach is there and he's like, our quarterback
can't give you a better ball. You have to come
down with this. That was in the first quarter and

(13:48):
a half. Avery. When I watch him, he had a
guy on an out, you know, not necessarily a routine play,
but a lot of separation. He's sailing that thing where
it's an un catchable ball for both of them. I
saw Avery kind of flinch a little bit when it
comes to putting the ball in the places you need
to be if you want to be a bag twelve champion,
if you want to be the school that's going through
the next step, not have the floor because you're gonna

(14:09):
lean on your culture of having four or five losses.
I didn't love that. I give grace because you're in Ireland,
the weather's bad. Anytime you go, you know, over to
Europe or the other side of the world, everyone's always bitching,
complaining about the field. You see that with the receivers,
they're slipping and sliding everywhere. But I like when I
walk away from that game, I look at Iowa State's

(14:30):
offensive line, I go, they've got a lot of holes.
They've got a lot of issues going on there. But
I look at rock O Beckt. He seems very decisive.
He gets the ball out really fast. He puts the
ball in a good place for guys to be successful.
I see Avery Johnson in that zero blitz, he with
all the athletic body in the world, kind of gets
scared and just just kind of muffins one over in
the right side. Avery, I think he needs to take

(14:51):
a look in the mirror a little bit. While if
you're an Iowa State fan, you're like, yeah, we have
obvious holes in certain areas, but I like our quarterback
and he's gonna give us a chance to win every
single time. Because once the run game started to get
going a little bit. You see the offensive line. They're
a little undersized, They're not the most athletic group in
the world. They were giving up some pressures, especially early
in the game versus that defensive line. But your quarterback, buddy,

(15:12):
I'm telling you, you got a little something, you little
creative with some bubble, some movement, stuff like that, he's
gonna put the ball where you wanted to. I don't
feel that way with Avery after this week, but you.

Speaker 1 (15:20):
Got through the run game with Avery like Avery gives
me a feeling of like a I don't want to
come off as a shot in any type of way.
It's just warm my brain. His dad like like a
poor man. It's like a style of Taylor Martinez where
you can run the ball really.

Speaker 5 (15:35):
Well, what like twenty twelve reference, Yeah.

Speaker 1 (15:38):
Taylor Martinez. Yeah, but he was a monster.

Speaker 5 (15:40):
Oh no, no, he was a study.

Speaker 1 (15:41):
But yeah, ceiling awkward, you know, our motion, all that
kind of stuff. But you build it through the run
game with Avery Johnson more than you would obviously. The
opposing quarterback is rockebec Yeah. I just think I'm not
pushing the painted button on Kansas State. It's a lot
of that where they're going to get back over back
across the pond, and it's going to be a lot
of just playing team football.

Speaker 5 (15:58):
And you, of all people should know with your team
weak zero doesn't count. Foreign soil, it doesn't count.

Speaker 1 (16:03):
Doesn't mean it still haunts me.

Speaker 5 (16:06):
I'm just looking at Iowa State and if I'm Aloway state,
I feel really good about my quarterbacks performance. I think
percentage wise, he was actually below fifty percent. But if
you watch the game, you're like, Okay, there's a lot
of dropballs there. There's a lot of Week zero, no
preseason guys feeling out and the weather.

Speaker 1 (16:23):
I wonder what made Johnson and Johnson get into the scuffle,
like we're probably this conversation.

Speaker 5 (16:27):
It's probably this conversation where the dad is feeling some
type of way he thinks his son is going to
be a first round pick when the season's over. A
lot of people are talking.

Speaker 1 (16:34):
About the fact that they're on the ground fighting.

Speaker 5 (16:35):
Which is just crazy. In a puddle too, They're just
fighting in a puddle.

Speaker 1 (16:39):
It just means war in Ireland.

Speaker 10 (16:43):
In Ireland, like I think, I think that's to me, Yeah,
that's just another to me, this is nothing to look at.

Speaker 1 (16:50):
Yeah, this is a this is a getting the coffee
in Ireland. This is what happens. This is nothing even
to look at. I saw that they posted in all
we won't let it happen again. It means more to
this family. This family takes as their football very seriously.

Speaker 5 (17:05):
One though I don't know which one's which.

Speaker 9 (17:09):
Low key. I think dad had top control.

Speaker 1 (17:11):
Dad had top is that dad who had top control?
All right?

Speaker 9 (17:15):
All right on a great, great dub for the dad
if he was the winner.

Speaker 1 (17:19):
What the stuff that I've heard in the college football world.
I saw that video. I saw that fight, and it
didn't come off surprising to me, because you know, you
got the you got the dad who's very involved with
the son who happens to be the starting quarterback in
Kansas State with a high ceiling. So when I saw
this video, I wasn't too surprised. I had a good laugh,
and it's like, hey, keep it moving.

Speaker 5 (17:38):
Yeah, gotta know what's to set them off? Your city?
This is this is this is a family issue. Family
decide to handle stuff in public a little bit. Take
the cameras away, let him handle their business. Let's move
on and move forward. Let's get on out of here.
That's all it is.

Speaker 8 (17:52):
I like to picture it the the brother, younger brother
was like saying like avery sucks or whatever, and the
dad was like, you're at to even.

Speaker 9 (18:00):
Play college football?

Speaker 2 (18:02):
Shut up?

Speaker 9 (18:02):
And then they start fighting. Yeah, that's how I picture
it going down.

Speaker 1 (18:05):
You know, Dad's at home right now, everybody's asking about
family fights right all the time. That's all that was.

Speaker 5 (18:11):
Yeah, yeah, thor and soil doesn't count anything you do
over there. It doesn't matter what do you do in
the continents of the United States or Hawaii where Stanford lost.

Speaker 1 (18:19):
Yeah, they're having they're having.

Speaker 5 (18:20):
The Stanford loses to Hawaii, bro, which is just when
are they going to come out of the gutter? Man,
When are they gonna get back to the harball area
where they're in, you know, forty six personnel, they have
all offensive linemen on the field in one running back
and they're just gonna shove it down your throat because
they just can't. They just can't fucking get it done.
You even have Andrew Luck who retired early, who is

(18:41):
a generational talent, your GM, and we just can't figure
it out.

Speaker 1 (18:44):
And I hope they win just because Andrew Luck's there. Yeah, same,
But I don't really watch it. They Stanford football, I.

Speaker 5 (18:50):
Mean, no doubt, they've got to have the worst schedule.
Every year, they fly to Hawaii, get have to six
hour fight from Stanford, they fly back, and then they
got to play five or six games on the East
Coast because of the acc We're setting these boys up
for failure you can't give them.

Speaker 1 (19:05):
And a school that's.

Speaker 5 (19:06):
Known for being so smart, what are we fucking doing?
What are we doing?

Speaker 1 (19:11):
They're racking up the rewards points. Right here's what you do.

Speaker 5 (19:14):
Fly to the East coast, get yourself a high school
football facility, zoom online classes, fix your program. Right there.
You just got you two more dubs in the season,
probably because we're not dealing with so much damn jet lag,
you know. Yeah, right, wind up this episode to bring
you Neutral. Have you tried Neutral? If not, you're missing out.
Neutral is so much better than any other seltzer I've tried.

(19:34):
It's made with a real vodka and real juice. That's
what makes it delicious. Neutral comes in a variety of flavors.
I've told you before. I'll tell you again, my fair
of flavors pineapple and lime. Neutral is a perfect drink
to brain when you're hanging with friends, and it is
such a crowd pleaser. Neutral, Keep it tasty.

Speaker 1 (19:49):
Back to this episode, a team that looks solid and
don't know how good. Fresno stated, it seems like they
are asked, but Kansas look pretty good.

Speaker 5 (19:56):
Yeah, I think presdo stage just asked? I mean I
to be honest. To be honest, I didn't really watch
the game, so that was kind of like that was
a floater. I just put that in the wind right there.
I probably shouldn't have no disrespect for the one of
the Jayhawks. I my brain sees basketball, that's all I'll say.
Show me, don't tell me.

Speaker 1 (20:16):
Yeah, Jalen Daniels is he Yeah, he is a dog
for Kansas. It's truly all about him being healthy because
he's built again, not trying to take a shot at
the kids. Built a little lean, built a little frail,
hell of an athlete. But he's been on the injury
report several times from Kansas. Because you listen to uh Peyton,
you listen all the college football heads talk about it
like Kansas or Kansas could be a competitor in the

(20:38):
Big twelve, but it truly all depends on the quarterback.
Jalen Daniels Big Week, Man Bag Week. You were asking
about coach Rule in his podcast.

Speaker 5 (20:48):
Yeah, I was. I want to know how you felt
about Matt Rule ten days before the kickoff of their
football seasons, has a podcast that comes out. I saw
the intro. He's got a lot of questions too. I
understand that he's in the building. I love Matt Yeah,
I love Nebraska football. Are we getting distracted? We had

(21:12):
the photo shoot a couple of months ago, we had
a podcast. Now I have no doubt year three Matt
rule is going to show up this year. That's not
going to be the issue. What's too much though, And
I'm not saying I'm in it or out of it.
I'm just worried about distractions. I know my boy's been
hurting for the good part of a decade, and I
just want everyone to be focused on your mental health.

(21:36):
And when I see the podcast, I get worried that
maybe we're not one hundred percent focused on well conference
mental health in Nebraska.

Speaker 1 (21:42):
He doesn't need to be focused on my mental health.
I love the podcast. I think you know, he's a
pioneer in the space man.

Speaker 2 (21:48):
He uh.

Speaker 1 (21:49):
When he was talking about doing it, I was like, bro,
I think it's a great idea. You get an inside
looking everything going on with Nebraska. And again, he's got
a lot of questions. He wants to have a podcast.
Let me ask you, when we started our poto, would
you say that you were distracted? I would say no,
But I like, would you say you lost focus, You're
not focused on the task at hand.

Speaker 5 (22:08):
No, it's a bad argument. But I understand what you're saying.

Speaker 1 (22:11):
Why is it a bad argument?

Speaker 5 (22:12):
Because I was a left tackle for a team, one
of eleven guys in the field at one time, knowing
my job, my circumstances, and basically evaluating the players that
I'm playing against and the scheme I'm playing against. This
is a head coach football team, who's managing recruiting guys,
who's managing transfer portals, who's managing quarterbacks who want more money,
receivers that they're bringing in to help their quarterback out.

(22:33):
Now they have to worry about their offense. Hogerson's doing
his thing. Well, how's our defense going to be this year?
We lost two guys in the middle that were like,
how do we replace that? So there's a lot more
on a head coach's plate than there is on a
left tackle plate. I'm not saying this is a bad thing.
I'm just worried distraction. Yeah, And it's only and Matt
said it in his podcast, there's only so many hours
in the day. There's only so many hours in the day.

(22:54):
There's only so much time you can focus on football
before you need to, you know, spread your wings into
your other stuff, invest in other things in your life.
So I'm with you on if you want to take
an hour out of your week and do a podcast,
sit there. I love that he's standing by the way.
Great for the body. I think that's awesome. I think
I think it's great. I just it's so new, right,
It's so it's very new.

Speaker 1 (23:13):
Feels uncomfortable, feel uncompany. Is It's like when you come
to it, Hey, when you when you drop the first episode,
just be ready for the external noise, because it's going
to be there, especially if you don't win. The external
noise is going to be there. But you answered, you know,
you answered the question the same way when you were
coming on and doing bust on the boys. Is you
understand what your capacity is. I trust that he knows
what his capacity is. If he's taking an hour, hour
and a half to do a podcast, I'm sure there's

(23:35):
a lot of episodes that are already banked, then it's like,
you know, he's doing his thing.

Speaker 5 (23:39):
I just hope that, uh, if the season doesn't go
the way that we expected to go with Nebraska, I
hope he just keeps doing it. I don't want it
to be a week where it's like, we're not going
to do it this week and then give an excuse
for it. That's a bad look. You got to you
gotta punch through no matter what. Similar to our first
year doing the podcast, right we start tune four, I'm suspended,
the whole world's burning into the ground, and we just
kept on going and it's like, you don't you want

(24:01):
you don't want to, but worst case scenario, you gotta
keep doing it, Matt, Yeah, gotta keep doing it throughout
the season, you.

Speaker 10 (24:07):
Know, and will goes on though that episode is gonna
go crazy.

Speaker 1 (24:11):
It'll be after the season when we you know, you
should do it, you should do it.

Speaker 5 (24:16):
Bust and Bull week.

Speaker 1 (24:17):
No, No, he's got He's again after the season, because
I'm sure he's got a lot of episodes that are
already backlog like that's not no, that's not the right time.
Timing is everything, and the timing for that banger will
be postseason when we ten plus wins ten.

Speaker 10 (24:34):
Plus maybe like super Bowl week. He's got like a
setup at media row.

Speaker 1 (24:39):
Yeah, all the haters that they're waiting for a little
drop and then the point to hey, this is a distraction.
Yeahda YadA, yeah, yeah, yeah yeah.

Speaker 5 (24:45):
The white noise. Yeah, it's a bunch of bullshit. I'm
just I was playing. I'm playing a little Devil's advocate
for you. I want, I want Nebraska to be Nebraska
for your sake. I can't see you go through it again, Taylor.

Speaker 1 (24:57):
This is not we feel good. Listen, I am, I'm
It's football week. We're finally here since Cincinnati Cincinnati Week one,
Cincinnati Bearcats home game. Yeah. And Dana.

Speaker 5 (25:10):
JP, isn't he understands Yeah, he absolutely understands.

Speaker 2 (25:13):
Two.

Speaker 1 (25:13):
Matt Matt Rule, Year three. Yeah, got a bunch of hogs.

Speaker 5 (25:16):
Everything, everything's going your way. Everything's going your way.

Speaker 1 (25:20):
Yet it feels good.

Speaker 5 (25:22):
Everything set up to go every good right now, the
year three Matt Rule quarterback in year two, went to
the transfer portal. Got yourself a couple of wide receivers
to help out that offense a little bit, spicy defense,
hogs in the middle.

Speaker 1 (25:35):
I'm with you, Yeah, I'm with you. Some youth on defense.
I'm excited to see the black Shirts run around out there.

Speaker 5 (25:41):
Yeah. Other news, Brice Underwood is now the starter for
the University of Michigan golf up him.

Speaker 1 (25:48):
I'm excited to watch right underwood Man. He looks like
an alien in a uniform.

Speaker 5 (25:53):
He looks like an alien. The one practice we got
to saw, I think we all walked away impressed, like, Okay,
maybe this kid is who people of saying he is.
He had the one hiccup against Nico Shadow, our intern
Nico who uh what's his middle that's his last name? Ghetto? Yeah,
Andrew Ghetto Italian as fucking gets yeah, quick release. The

(26:16):
question mark going this is you get Mikey Keane from
Fresno State, you bring him in do you let Mikey
King take over while his kids kind of learning a
little bit unless you see something that's like, this guy's
got to be our starter right here, right now. I
think it's a good move long term for the University
of Michigan. You bring back a lot of stars in
the offensive line, a lot of things coming out of
that camp saying the offense line's gotten a whole lot
better from last year. At they ended the season really well,
much better than run game, much better protection. I'm excited

(26:39):
to see him New Mexico, but more than anything, I'm
excited to see that that Week two in Oklahoma.

Speaker 1 (26:44):
Yeah, I think Bryce Underwood's you brought him there to
be the future for the next however many years of Michigan.
If you throw him in the fire, if he's got
any type of ability that you recruited him for. I
don't like the juggling quarterbacks. I don't think you start
another cat. Let him get you know, let him feel
out the game. Dicks. I'm and you got Oklahoma on
week two, You're at Norman. Yeah, week two, I think
you just got to get him in. If he takes

(27:04):
his legs, he'll take him early. But he's going to
be a stud.

Speaker 5 (27:07):
He's gonna be He's going to be a stud.

Speaker 1 (27:08):
Yeah.

Speaker 5 (27:08):
The whole the phrase, if you got two quarterbacks, you
got zero quarterbacks? Yeah, you gotta you gotta stick with
one guy and get this kid, you know, in the
fire immediately. A big ten ball. I agree, big ten
ball with an again.

Speaker 1 (27:19):
This weekend New Mexico.

Speaker 5 (27:21):
I think we're favored by thirty eight and a half points.
That's that's nuts. Probably yeah, I'll probably just take it
to you know, support the voice. But last years, last year,
Week one, we're sitting in uh ted was it? Texas Station?
Station Station Texas? A and m there's Notre Dame and
I'm sitting there on my phone watching I don't know

(27:43):
if it was Bowling Green or something, just being like,
we can't it might have been Fresno, that's it. That's
a I think that might have been who it was.
But I remember sitting there, well, this electric game is
going on on my phone thinking to myself, Oh fuck,
but yeah, big trouble half, yeah, yeah, but we still
didn't cover. Yeah, still didn't cover and it was shaky.

(28:04):
We couldn't throw the ball.

Speaker 1 (28:05):
Very come out of that game with some question marks.

Speaker 5 (28:07):
And then I think the next week or the week
after that, we're play Texas and we all walked in there.
We knew it was a bit of a uh sacrificial
lamb out for a huge feeling.

Speaker 1 (28:16):
It's a huge year for Michigan, pivotalivot. I think it goes.

Speaker 9 (28:22):
You gotta hire good Well, I won't go there.

Speaker 1 (28:26):
Who's at the helm, They're like, this is a big
year for coach Moore?

Speaker 5 (28:30):
Yeah, yeah, this is a big year. I don't think
this is like a hot let's say, worst case scenario,
we hit the floor with Michigan. It's it's bad, it's
it's seven and five or whatever it is. I don't
think you're looking at Sean Moore and being like, we're
replacing him after this year.

Speaker 9 (28:43):
Hire fast, fire faster, you think so.

Speaker 5 (28:46):
I think the biggest thing that colleges run into issues
is like hiring or firing guys way too quickly. I'm
with you, Yeah, I think like I think Matt rules
should typically still be a.

Speaker 1 (28:57):
Lot of successful business owners say is like high fast,
fire fast. Yeah.

Speaker 5 (29:01):
I just think that.

Speaker 1 (29:02):
I do think if you guys have a you mentioned
seven to five, you go seven to five. Your in
tennas do have.

Speaker 5 (29:06):
To be your intennas go up for the next year. No,
there's no doubt about it. Yeah, well, you're you have
a really short leash going into the following season is
a favor. This is other you know, Yeah, Oklahoma, you
got Nebraska, and then it's pretty favorable after that until
you get into officely the last game of the year,
which you can kind of just mark up as a
win at this point the way they played the last
four years. But yeah, it'll be fun. It'll be a

(29:27):
fun year to watch. I think we're all excited for
our teams.

Speaker 1 (29:30):
Big year, big season, just for busting in general. We
just had a Rearview Mirror, the very first episode of
Rearview Mirror. If you guys like some little documentary style content,
Rearview Mirror just dropped last night on Sunday, looking back
at our Donald Trump interview, everything that went around the
Donald Trump interview, how we ended up getting him as
a guest to lead up into him coming in the room,

(29:50):
everything around it with the Busting with the Bust and Boys, Taylor, myself, Delaney,
the Boys in the Back. Jared Beeman, a producer at
Bust with Jobbs, did an incredib edible job. This is
his brainchild, something he's been one to do for a
long time, and we didn't really we didn't give him
any guardrails. It was just hey, make whatever he's going
on in your mind.

Speaker 5 (30:10):
Right, this is his idea, this is his baby. He
went out and did it showed I mean when he
was showing it to me, will Be was like seventy
five eighty percent done. That was blown away by the production.

Speaker 1 (30:19):
First time I watched it was last night. Really yeah,
and I called him up and I said, bro, that
is incredible work.

Speaker 5 (30:26):
Yeah, he absolutely killed it. So if you like that,
if you like the rearview Mirror. It's very it's a
very new thing.

Speaker 1 (30:32):
Sit down, confessional corner type like, Yeah.

Speaker 5 (30:34):
Jared came in and at the end of at the
end of the episode, he's like, if you like this,
blah blah blah, and I'm more just wondering, who do
you want to see next? Obviously there's a lot of
other big guests that we've had on If you're wondering,
but the backstory again and leave in the comments, who
do you want to see in the rearview mirror?

Speaker 1 (30:50):
Yeah? Yeah, drop comments. That feedback is really going to
help Jared because I think he's saying the cadence might
be like once every three months and just focus on
a moment in busting lore and busting history. That was
pivot for us. I think I feel like there's a
lot of different ship. JP's got so much footage from
the vlogs.

Speaker 8 (31:06):
Yeah, I think like a busting Bowl one would would
be cool.

Speaker 1 (31:09):
Busting Bowl be awesome. You got the vrabel like when
we took off with Vrabels signing with Barstool, leaving Barstool
fan duel, Jeffrey.

Speaker 5 (31:20):
Jeffrey Starr, Jelly Roll. I think just how he got
the folded us because we kind of just stumbled upon
Jelly like came out of his own way just to
come and meet us and be like, hey, I'm a fan.
If you guys won't want to come on your show.

Speaker 1 (31:31):
Yeah, starting as just a podcast and expanding in the vlogs,
expanding into different shows and content. Yeah no, then taking
the camera inside locker room like yeah, I think there's
a lot of there's a lot of meat on the bones.

Speaker 5 (31:44):
Yeah, it was. It was awesome with the production it
was he it was like it was like a Netflix
documentary the way we put together.

Speaker 10 (31:51):
I saw one that was like, y'all think ninety six bulls,
Yes we are yeap.

Speaker 1 (31:58):
The one that I like the most is the one.
And as like the top comment with all the thumbs
up stuff is them just saying, like, you know, tipping
the cap to the production like this is something that
could be on like Netflix or HBO style, because it
wasn't like the production of it was that good. Yeah,
Jared did a really good job. Jerry came up with
the quiet, Jerry came up with a lot of the ship.
He did it.

Speaker 5 (32:17):
I think he did it all.

Speaker 1 (32:18):
Yea, Yeah, I know he was he was talking about
He's sitting with JP on a lot of different stuff,
like going over different moments way to kind of build
the storyline out, ways to kind of like just look
back at that moment and how it all transpired. It
was the perfect length too, Yeah, it was like twenty three.

Speaker 5 (32:32):
Minutes, good, easy, digestible. You kind of want to, like
just the intro of it all. You're like, I got
to see what this is all about.

Speaker 1 (32:38):
Yeah, how it all kind of went down?

Speaker 5 (32:40):
The music.

Speaker 1 (32:40):
I thought he crushed it with the music.

Speaker 5 (32:43):
Yeah, I mean, I'm sure the watch time on that
video is going to be insane because there's no way
you click on that and not want to stick around
and just see how everything turns out. Yeah, like you
know the end result, but like, how did it all happen?

Speaker 10 (32:53):
You' all talking about the madding ratings?

Speaker 1 (32:55):
Brow was so fa Yeah, and then JP having that, Yeah,
having that sit down talking we're about to.

Speaker 5 (33:00):
Have farting in the chair is crazy, and dude, us
just getting being stir crazy. We're in there for six hours, Yeah,
just eventually like you had just a couple of wild dogs.
I just need to get out of there.

Speaker 1 (33:10):
About to sit down with the now president of the
United States, and we're arguing about Madden ratings.

Speaker 8 (33:16):
Everyone lying.

Speaker 5 (33:20):
Delanna saying he was a ninety nine is insane, and.

Speaker 8 (33:23):
Then I'm saying, oh, no, no way, I was injured
that year. That has nothing to do with your Mad
right at all?

Speaker 1 (33:29):
Right, no I was.

Speaker 5 (33:31):
I do feel disrespected still my Madden rings we went
back on a couple weeks ago.

Speaker 1 (33:34):
Ya or eighty two?

Speaker 9 (33:37):
Speed was high or acceleration.

Speaker 5 (33:39):
Acceleration was nasty. I think people are the seventy five
wait up this episode to bring you Lucy. Let's loove
up your nickeod team routine with Lucy. Go to Lucy
dot Co. Forward slash busting and use promo code busting
BUSSI N to get twenty percent off your first order.
Lucy has a thirty d refund policy if you change
your mind again, it's Lucy dot Co and use code

(34:02):
bust and BUSSI N to get twenty percent off. Let's
get back to the episode.

Speaker 1 (34:08):
I don't want to beat a dead horse, but do
we need to, like, this is the biggest show in
the bust and universe, do we need to touch on
the first pitch from last week? Yeah?

Speaker 9 (34:17):
We can.

Speaker 2 (34:17):
If you.

Speaker 5 (34:18):
I mean we did talk about in the locker room
with Josh correct.

Speaker 1 (34:21):
Yeah.

Speaker 5 (34:22):
It listen. If I go into Saint Louis and throw
that pitch the first time, I think we all just
walk away like, hey, Willstrow was better, and we all
kind of giggle.

Speaker 1 (34:33):
At the end of the day.

Speaker 5 (34:33):
It's like, yeah, it's a first pitch. It went in
the direction you want to go because of Saint Louis,
how much work we put in, and then the result
we had where you have to essentially get off your
feet to go get the ball.

Speaker 1 (34:44):
I jump that's vertical.

Speaker 5 (34:46):
Well, because you had to jump in the air, It's like, yeah,
it's disappointing. It's a disappointing deal. I wish it was
just a laser right down the middle. There's things I'm
proud of. There's things I'm proud of. I didn't shy
away from the speed. I didn't shy away just just
to lob it in. But yeah, I think the moment
was so funny.

Speaker 9 (35:07):
Did you see Frank the tanks pitch?

Speaker 5 (35:09):
I didn't see it. I did see it. It was nice.

Speaker 1 (35:11):
I did.

Speaker 5 (35:11):
I also noticed that he was strike. He wasn't on
the he was he wasn't on the mound. He wasn't
on the mound.

Speaker 1 (35:16):
You're right, if you throw that pitch, there's really nothing.
They get nothing.

Speaker 5 (35:20):
The whold talk nothing.

Speaker 1 (35:20):
But since Saint Louis, it's like the question raises, does
Taylor have this athletic ability in his bag?

Speaker 9 (35:26):
And are you right handed?

Speaker 1 (35:28):
Yeah?

Speaker 5 (35:28):
I think it's really just turned into like is the
moment become too big for me? And that's it.

Speaker 1 (35:34):
That's it.

Speaker 5 (35:34):
That's a tough thing to look in the mirror and
ask yourself that question, like is the moment too big
for you?

Speaker 8 (35:38):
Because in the vlog you did say Will said, are
you nervous? You said nervous for what we've been playing
in front of big crowds our whole life.

Speaker 1 (35:44):
Yeah, was that a lie?

Speaker 7 (35:46):
Uh?

Speaker 5 (35:46):
I'm sure at the time when I said it. But
once you get in and the lights are on, you
have all fifteen people in that stadium, it's like, yo,
I got to operate now. Yeah, And you get out
there and I think we're playing catch in the outfield
and I get like four or five and or rather
kind of just squirrel away from me. Where Will has
to essentially be like, hey, you got to lock in
and then I, you know, I go and we we
shored it up.

Speaker 1 (36:06):
Legit stood up and it was like, hey, bro, come yeah,
this is like.

Speaker 5 (36:09):
I think I got. I think I that guy little
too early. I think I was in a good headspace
before we do the FanDuel TV where the guy had
one hundred, three hundred and fifty four saves career He starts, yeah, yeah,
career leader starts coaching me on like over the top,
and I said it so many times I should have

(36:30):
stuck with my guns. If Hayes in the barn, it's
like you put the work in, you know the way
you're throwing, and you kind of know what feels right.
But to try to change the directory right before that pitch,
I think that's what put me into a position that
I'm not proud of. I'm not proud like that that
checked the box, but it's not it's not the result.
It's not the the exclamation point you want at the
end of the story. Am I going to do another

(36:52):
first pitch? I think the answer has to be.

Speaker 1 (36:53):
Yes, yeah, And like you said, we'll put it on
the show.

Speaker 5 (36:56):
We put on the show. Right now, we have a
whole football season ahead of us. Let's get into let's
get into opening day, Let's get into the start of
the next next year's baseball season. Let's go throw a pitch.

Speaker 1 (37:06):
You had a bad week last week.

Speaker 5 (37:08):
No bad days, maybe bad weeks, though what happened last week?

Speaker 1 (37:11):
Well, not only did you have a bad first pitch,
you also ran out of gas, right Jesus. Yeah.

Speaker 5 (37:16):
And it's like, at what age is that just unacceptable?
I think the I think the answer is eighteen. I
think once you are a technically an adult in America,
it's time to make sure your gas is always good.
A couple of disclaimers. My gas gauge doesn't work, and
so I'm thinking to myself, I literally, no joke.

Speaker 9 (37:34):
This is not only you could get it fixed.

Speaker 5 (37:36):
No joke, dude. I'm leaving the Titans facility and I
see it. I'm like, I'm pretty sure I like filled
up that tank like six days ago, seven days ago.
Maybe I'm I think I'm all right. And as I'm
getting on, I think I'm at the last little bit,
like I'm a quarter mile from the exit from our shop.
All of a sudden, the gas that kind of goes
You're like, what the fuck is going on? And I
look on my I fucking ran out of gas. This

(37:56):
is crazy.

Speaker 1 (37:59):
Let's talk about this truck. This truck needs to get
put down.

Speaker 5 (38:04):
Bro cool looking truck, looking truck. I have the most
unrealistic expectation in my life of having old vehicles that
work and run every single day. That's that's whatever, for
whatever reason, a goal. Except for myself, it is never
going to come true. Every person I cross is like god, God,

(38:25):
this had that. It always fucking broke on me. And
I think I'm gonna be the guy that changes it,
changes the game. I rented a gas the car break. No,
the dumb idiot who driving the car, he's the one
that fucked up.

Speaker 1 (38:36):
But then you say the gas gage is just not correct.

Speaker 8 (38:39):
Or yeah, yeah, we were, we were talking about it.

Speaker 1 (38:42):
He got more, he got more car problems.

Speaker 8 (38:45):
We were talking about it, though, is and this isn't
like a shot, because when you do, when it happens
to you, it is like you feel this way. But
is running out of gas the dumbest thing you can do?

Speaker 1 (38:54):
A thousand to be up there? I think I did
it twice in the year of twenty twenty four. Oh really, yeah,
you know that you're you're the one that would tell me, hey,
I never let my vehicle get below one hundred miles
right on the.

Speaker 5 (39:06):
New vehicles because it, yeah, it pucks up your fuel pump.
I did say that to you, and look at me right, like,
take your own coaching. Yeah, take your own coaching and
room with it. I like that. My week was tough
last week. I like the week before the football season
starting having some some more downs than I did. Ups.
Now I get to get in the season, I feel
I can wipe it away. Woke up this morning, threw

(39:28):
a little stage on myself, burn it, sat there, cleansed myself.
Let's get moving forward. Let's get this football season with
good vibes. Yeah, it's good to get away from that. Yeah.

Speaker 1 (39:38):
Yeah. And we were coming off of some just some
good interviews that people are going to get to listen to.

Speaker 5 (39:42):
Damn Ward cam Ward cam.

Speaker 1 (39:45):
Ard, Tyler Lockett. By the way, I was very impressed with.

Speaker 9 (39:48):
That your Saturday partner right thereeah Yeah.

Speaker 5 (39:50):
Yeah, yeah, oh yeah. Just loving to sit sit at
the house all day long.

Speaker 1 (39:56):
Yeah, bench some shows not say a word you got
you got this snack? How but I can get it
for you.

Speaker 5 (40:01):
Yeah, Tyler does have that vibe or you don't. There's
really no expectation love TV, which is the best kind
of person. You just sit there and hang out. You
don't want to talk. I guess we're not talking today.
It's all good man, whatever's on the tube, we're gonna
let it happen.

Speaker 1 (40:12):
Yeah, and then yeah, the Biscuit.

Speaker 5 (40:16):
Give him that last gear call.

Speaker 1 (40:17):
He's probably talking about it on the game the other
night when we're going. But uh, he felt it seemed
like he was nervous sitting there.

Speaker 5 (40:24):
Yeah, yeah, I thought he was like shake. I thought
he the mic was shaking a little bit too. I
just think, you know, being a part of our group, chat,
our friendship, I think he sees how Bussin's kind of
like done, you know, gone up a little bit. He's
probably made it a little bit bigger in his head.
I think the Risks thing, I think that all everybody was,
everybody besides you and me was pretty blindsided about the chat.

Speaker 1 (40:46):
I also think he's just a true war dog when
it comes to football, Like this dude is in fight
or flight, has been in fight or flight his entire career. Yeah,
making rosters, he's going into year nine, He's he survived,
He's he's had a career that he's proud.

Speaker 5 (41:00):
Of survive in advance is his mantra.

Speaker 1 (41:02):
Yeah, and he's sitting there, he's probably got all the
you know, whats coach is gonna think like, I'm not
trying to I'm not trying to write be a distraction.
I'm not trying to make it seem like, you know,
all these things. Like he his anxiety was probably just
through the roof, he says, a football guy, that's all ball,
eas sleep, breath ball.

Speaker 5 (41:15):
When we go in this training camp tour, you can
tell the guys that are more vested vets, and some
guys were a little little more new. One guy that
would surprise me a little bit was Cam. Like he's
the first overall pick. There's a lot of eyeballs on
a lot of people watching every move he makes. Seemed
very relaxed, very comfortable in who he is as a person,
which I was a big fan of a big fan
of what that kid's gonna do. Obviously, the Titans, I

(41:37):
feel like we're gonna have a better year than last year.

Speaker 1 (41:40):
But we need to tell you I think the national media,
the national football casual fan, is sleeping on the talent
that the Titans can put out there, not in a
way that they win the division, but I think that
they're spicy. I think that they can be spicy as
long as they stay healthy. In fact, they got an
O line that's humming a little bit better than either
obviously had a lot of money for you Off made
a lot of money for up, but cam he it

(42:01):
seems like everything he's been advertised. They got talent on
the outside. They're gonna have a good defense again.

Speaker 5 (42:08):
That that's where I worry about that. I think I
think their back end, they have very little depth right
back the other corner. I think it's a little up
and down Hooker. I think Titan fans are back and
forth on Hooker a little bit about like is he
the guy? Is he's not the guy?

Speaker 1 (42:25):
Well, last year they've played good enough to win a
lot of games. Yeah, linebacker's got stronger. You're you're you
need somebody to rush the quarterback? Yeah yeah, yea Ard
and Key you lost Harold Landry obviously, Jeff Simmons an
episoute monster to and Andre Sweat. He's solid. But it's
like who's your bed, because they'll cleft They're gonna colefs

(42:47):
the pocket, but they're gonna be taking up the doubles
and you need the guys in the one right on
the outside, right.

Speaker 5 (42:51):
Yeah, And if you just have if you don't have
somebody that can put pressure on the outside of the
offensive line, that's gonna be very difficult because you can
put as much pressure up the mill as you want.
If you don't have somebody to clean up as this
quarterback scrambling out, you're gonna run into a lot of issues.
So I think they'll be better than were last year.
I think we're gonna see from cam Ward. We're gonna
see a guy that doesn't make the same mistake twice.
You're gonna see a guy that makes a couple of throws.

(43:13):
You're like, holy shit, he's the guy. But at the
end of the day, he's also a rookie. Like he's
a rookie, He's gonna make rookie mistakes. One thing that
I've learned that I've talked to a couple of people
inside that building is he's he's a guy that when
he makes that mistake, you don't see that mistake again,
which is huge, huge for the brand. Keeping him up right.
He doesn't seem like a guy that's gonna fall into
the tank if he doesn't have a couple of good weeks.

(43:33):
So future wise, I feel really good about it. This
year is one of those we'll see's big We'll see
this year.

Speaker 10 (43:40):
Yeah, do you go get Trey hendricks from Cincy Hendrickson?

Speaker 5 (43:45):
Yeah, I mean you could. I think they have the capital.
They do have the capital. It's a lot of money.
It's a lot of money. What year is Trey in?

Speaker 1 (43:56):
Don't off the top?

Speaker 7 (43:57):
Were talks, but Terry mca Orange just turned a three
year ninety six million.

Speaker 5 (44:02):
Oh, let's go turn the corn. That's big for the Commanders, big.

Speaker 1 (44:07):
Yeah.

Speaker 5 (44:08):
I mean they get ready, they get read of their
running back. They trade their running back to the forty Niners. Yeah,
so good move for the Niners.

Speaker 1 (44:16):
I feel like the Niners really got some some upside
with that because you just don't know the health of
who's the backup to Christian say they get mitched, Yes, Grinda,
both guys that were on the injury report a few
times last year. But I just think Brian Robinson's just
started stut may. They got they got good depth, yes,
very physical inside the tackles.

Speaker 10 (44:38):
Because now you can put it now you can put
Christian like in that Deebo kind of spot, you know,
bounce him outside, put b Rob in.

Speaker 1 (44:45):
The backfield right to where they're both, push them out
like Christian running underneath.

Speaker 10 (44:49):
You got options. Yeah, Eckler, you got Eckler, but they
got they drafted somebody who they can.

Speaker 1 (44:57):
You moved their depth chart, sure, command they went and
paid some money for Tunssel, right.

Speaker 5 (45:05):
They Yeah, they traded.

Speaker 9 (45:08):
Von Miller.

Speaker 1 (45:09):
Yeah, but they listen von Miller the team.

Speaker 5 (45:12):
Von Miller had six six sacks and fourteen games.

Speaker 1 (45:14):
But for Washington, again the worst run defense in the NFL.
For them, it's just going to be stopping the run
if they're going to close the gap in the NFC.

Speaker 5 (45:23):
They got Jeremy McNichols. Can't kill McNichols can't kill them boys.

Speaker 1 (45:29):
Damn.

Speaker 5 (45:31):
He might do a little something this year. Eckler, I
backfield savvy, smart, uh Deebo.

Speaker 1 (45:39):
Yeah.

Speaker 5 (45:39):
I think that Lammy Tunzel trade is going to be
massive for them. That is such a huge win for
the Commanders.

Speaker 1 (45:45):
They got a McCaffrey, Luke McCaffrey. Yeah, kJ Osborne with
some death Commanders will be tough this year.

Speaker 5 (45:51):
Yeah, I mean good for Terry. Also, I know there
was a lot of back and forth between the franchise
and him this offseason getting that big deal. That's big time. Yeah, yeah,
you got you gotta have that football. We're here, We're here,
it's here. Boys, gotta juicy.

Speaker 1 (46:07):
What do you think is gonna happen with Michael Parsons
and the Cowboys?

Speaker 5 (46:11):
You gotta trade them?

Speaker 10 (46:13):
If y'all watch the Cowboys documentary.

Speaker 1 (46:14):
I haven't watched the documentary, but I've been consuming because
Jerry Jones has been doing a little it's a little
pressed tour talking about the negotiations basically and just posturing
up letting him know. I mean, we got him for
three more years. I hope you guys keep talking about
much how great Michael Parsons is because we love him
here and if you guys can see the contract we
offered him. Basically, shitting on the agent of Michael Parsons
for stepping in the documentary is unreal. It's very very Yeah, buddy,

(46:39):
I can't wait to consume because it's all this is
like my time, so like learning about it. Yeah, it's sick. Yeah,
this was my squad until I got to Washington, Dallas,
Cowboys nineties. Yeah, it's it's very, very well done.

Speaker 5 (46:56):
As soon as you want about Jerry Jones or how
he's operating, that star on the helmet is different.

Speaker 1 (47:00):
I enjoy seeing him speak so much, like on the
topic of the negotiation with Michael Parsons, because I just
feel like Jerry Jones loves the game, he loves the
game of business, loves the Cowboys.

Speaker 5 (47:14):
Yeah, you gotta have Michael Parsons on the field though,
And I feel like Mike, Mike is a prideful guy
that I'll be like, all right, fuck you, I'm not
playing then.

Speaker 1 (47:21):
Yeah, which I think Jerry also kind of kind of enjoyed.
He likes, he likes he likes to see a little
bagbone from He likes to see a little song and dance.

Speaker 10 (47:29):
They had the same situation with Emmitt Smith. Just learned
this in the documentary.

Speaker 5 (47:35):
Really he was holding out as well.

Speaker 1 (47:37):
He held at like two games.

Speaker 10 (47:38):
They lost the first two games, came back, he had
like four touchdowns and then they like went onto the
Super Bowl.

Speaker 2 (47:46):
Yeah.

Speaker 1 (47:46):
Drama keeps them young. Yeah, and it's been it's been interesting.

Speaker 5 (47:51):
I have no clue that this year, if you're Titans.

Speaker 10 (47:54):
That's what I'm saying either one of them.

Speaker 5 (47:57):
Yeah, Trey is. He's such a unique rusher though, because
he's not overly fast. He does a great job of
getting around the edge somehow, He's much more of a
power rusher. He's savvy, plays the game very what's the
word I'm looking for, Like sound. He's very sound in
the run game like. He does a great job. Michael

(48:18):
Parts is one of those guys you kind of just go, hey,
Will linebacker, Sam linebacker, You guys gotta watch it he
does and cover up, cover his ass up. He's gonna
go make some places for yeah, go fuck up that party.
And he's much younger. I mean trade. Trade has been
in the game for a little bit, so, I mean
both of them would help your defense in a big way.
Go get both of them.

Speaker 1 (48:36):
Go get both of them.

Speaker 5 (48:40):
Now, you just changed the entire season. It doesn't matter
how your back end looks like, you're not getting the
ball off. You're not getting the ball off of that.

Speaker 1 (48:51):

(49:34):
who's going to be the third third string quarterback for
the BROWNSDG people. The internet eats up that contest. Joe's
Joe Flacco. Who's to Picket Pickett on the depth chart
right now? Is Joe Flacco, It's Picket and then it's
Dylan Gabriel. Yeah, because there's conspiracies coming out of the

(49:55):
weekend that the Browns this is what they wanted to do.
They wanted to set up should dear Or for not
having success, they took him out. They removed him on
the two minute drill and put in Huntley, who they
knew what wasn't gonna be on the roster the next day.
Why not let you get those reps in. There's also
the conspiracy is going so deep. I mean, this is
Tim tebowesque type fandom, but the conspiracies are running so

(50:17):
deep that they're saying the old line wasn't gonna block
or didn't block for him. It was like trying to
sabotage his game by not blocking for him.

Speaker 5 (50:25):
Okay, let's start there. Let's start there's I'm just saying
that is I don't know if you are a Browns
fan who believes that the offensive line look at it
like this is remember the Titans and the guards just
kind of like being a revolving door. That is the
dumbest fucking thing if you will ever hear. Yeah, you
have guys that are also getting paid. They also want
to make the team.

Speaker 1 (50:45):
There you're telling yeah, you're telling me that there's five
guys on the third string. If I go back to
my rookie year, five Willy c type mentalities out there,
being like, oh I'm not gonna block.

Speaker 5 (50:57):
For this, dude, fight for your life. I mean, you
keep nine offensive linemen and you're the third string, you're
the bottom, you know, fifteen guys. Yeah, and they're gonna
be like, hey, go ahead and want shaders out there.
Maybe just let it go a little bit. Yeah, because
you got thirty one other teams. Most of those guys
are gonna cut. You have thirty one other teams that
are evaluating you as well. Maybe your a pea squad guy.

(51:17):
Maybe you're good enough to be another team and be
like Cleeveland Brown's offense is that good. There is not
a fucking chance in hell that someone is making a
decision to not block for somebody because they will lose
their job. That is so dumb. And if you draft
a guy, it's like, yeah, you put yourself in a
peculiar situation with Gabriel, with Flacco being older, pick it
like you've got four quarterbacks and you're like, here it is.

(51:40):
We have a very unique situation. Also, Joshaun Deshaun Watson,
he's putting out film of him being ready to throw again.
He's got guaranteed too hundred sixteen million.

Speaker 1 (51:47):
Most interesting quarterback room in the world right now.

Speaker 5 (51:50):
But there's no way that the Browns are sitting there
being like, I know we don't ever make the playoffs
and we have a great defense, but we still can't
get over the hump from an office perspective, But let's
take the time to ruin this young man's career.

Speaker 1 (52:05):
Where I will where I will fodder while throwing some
some fish food is I was listening to T J.
Hushman Zada and chatout Yo Sinko break it down, and
hushman Zada had a good point like, if you're if
you're in a tight race, compete for the threes and
you kind of know what your roster is gonna look like,
why in that last game would you not give them

(52:26):
equal opportunity versus Dylan Gabril playing Did he play the
first half and then she played the second half? Like
why not go a couple, you know, couple drives at
a time, kind of give them equal opportunity and let
it play out, versus you know you're you're just you're
putting shadder out there with all the bottom roster guys
and then also removing him from a two minute drill

(52:46):
where you could learn a little bit more about him
when you know Huntley's not going to be on the
roster the next day. That's the only one I can
sit there and be like, oh, I can understand that perspective. Totally.
But if you're going then if I challenge that and
then go complete business perspective of the front office of
everybody else, and you want to be proven right about
taking Dylan gar like Dylan Gabriel is a third round

(53:07):
pick to should hear and be in fifth Like, yeah,
that's a couple of rounds. But still if you want
this quarterback that he's gonna potentially be the future of
the Browns, you want him to be in the best
situation possible, So a place out that way, and that's
just you know, as my man on Bruce L. Mighty
would say, that's how the cookie crumbles, because when you
are a bottom roster type guy, you're not going to

(53:28):
be in the perfect situations. It's going to be you
have your opportunity, nobody cares worre harder, like nobody's coming
to save you. You're going to be on your own
island trying to create your own opportunities and the chances
that you do have. I thought dan Orlowski did a
good job breaking down Shoulder's game on actually talking football,
how he's drifted in the pocket, doing some things that
were question marks of him coming out of college. Actually

(53:49):
talking football but again, when you are a lower round
pickcorn undrafted guy, I'm telling you right now, there is
no chance for the staff and everybody's thinking, how do
we set up this lower round Are this undrafted guy
for success? Nobody's think of that. It's it's make your
own way when you get to the fucking NFL.

Speaker 5 (54:04):
I don't disagree. You said a lot of words there.
Let's try to break it down one by one. Why
do you play one quarterback for a first half and
the other quarterback for the whole second half. My answer
to that is, when you're looking at a quarterback and
the praut they put on the field, it's not one
drive that's going to define them in that game. It's
the consistency of having them in. How are they operating
when they make the operation, How do they when they
make the mistake the next series? How do they operate?

(54:26):
How are they handling themselves when they have down, how
they bring themselves back up when they're up. How they
keep that consistency. So I think that's the reason why
you play one guy for a chuck of time and
the other guy for a different chuck of time.

Speaker 1 (54:36):
And Dylan didn't play in the first game right, he
did not hit a hand shot.

Speaker 5 (54:40):
So Huntley taking over a two minute drill and taking
Chador out. The logic in that is, you know that
Tyler Huntley is not going to be on your team.
This is the last preseason game of the year. This
is where teams would go, we need this guy. We
should give this guy a look as a tip of
the cap to be like, hey, he's still a viable option.
He keep trying to keep his dreams alive. We've kind
of made our decision. Let's get this guy out there.

(55:01):
So there's thirty one other teams that might want to
bring him in as a third quarterback.

Speaker 1 (55:03):
And I love that thought because it's we know, we
know Shadur is going to be on the squad, we
know we trust him in a two minute drill. And
if you flip it to setting up somebody else for hey,
he's not gonna be on the squad, he can have
some tape before he goes out to the open market.

Speaker 5 (55:17):
Yeah.

Speaker 1 (55:18):
I like that thought of, hey, let's rip him out
there for a two minute drill.

Speaker 5 (55:21):
People are scratching and calling for an answer about these
two quarterbacks, Gabriel and Sanders. You want the answer you
don't get the answer. Time is what's going to give
you the answer. Joe Flyhood goes down, who's gonna go in?
Kenny Picktt's gonna go in. Let's say he goes down
or he starts not playing very well. The next person
that's going to go in is Dylan. All Right, that's
how it's going to be. He's a third round pick.

(55:42):
He's going to get the nod before Sanders. That is
the answer. It's not because there's a conspiracy. Dion has
said all these things and boasted his kids up. That
is what is going to happen.

Speaker 1 (55:52):
Because Dylan has operated well enough in training camp that hey,
we're gonna roll him out there.

Speaker 5 (55:56):
Right and a third round you're being like, oh, it's
only two rounds. It's a big fucking those two rounds.
That first three rounds are guys that you know are
guaranteed to make your spot. Guaranteed is such a relative term,
but for the most part, your three first three rounds,
those guys are almost guaranteed a roster spot unless they
fuck up in a big way. After you get past
the third round, that's when question marks. The farther you
get towards that seventh and undrafted, the less guarantee or

(56:19):
chance you have of actually making the roster, you have
to do something. Shadiri Sanders is a talent, there's no
doubt about it. But to say that they are not
setting up for success is such a fucking lie. It's
not real. It's this is how.

Speaker 1 (56:32):
Success.

Speaker 5 (56:33):
It's we're trying to set up the team for success.
You're trying to make sure the Cleveland Browns are the
best team they can possibly be. If Shador is that answer,
we will find that out in the future. But our
job is not to coddle and make sure that this
kid gets the reps. So we can say he's a
finished product now, or he's not and we get rid
of him, or we make him the starting role player.
That's an answer that the fun media wants and the
fans want to know, but it's not the best thing

(56:55):
for your franchise. So that is it's so over drawn
and ridiculous. And you see how over drawn ridiculous it
is by the way Shoulder is being asked questions and
the way he's being clickbit. I thought you did a
great job with the obviously quote, and you're like, here's
the clip for context. I think that is a good
job being for the boys a massive you know, that's
the foundation of this show. I being like there, everyone's

(57:15):
trying to give a should or a gotcha moment and
you being like, no, no, no, here's the context of
anything that's going on. You got to watch out for
the smoking mirrors.

Speaker 1 (57:22):
Because everybody wants is such an easy grab that everybody
it's they're so drawn to this story of Shader Sanders
and it's like, I'm in boat, Like to me, it's
the ball. It's like when everybody's bitching and complaining saying
they're intentionally setting him up not to fail. I'm just thinking, dude,
he's a fifth round pick. He's handled himself very well.
But it's like, man, you're not going to have all
of the best opportunities. Like that's just reality. That's real

(57:45):
everybody everywhere, And it's and then when you go with
this with these grabs of these media accounts, it's like
should he asked if he like belongs or I forget
what it was, And then they just use the one word.
Obviously they know that that's going to fodder the basis
of lookout and he is everything else without even looking
into anything. They just read that and think that and
it's like you see it there When Should has it,

(58:06):
he like grins and smiles. He's like, I know what
you're trying to do, but obviously I feel like, yeah, everybody.

Speaker 5 (58:10):
In this lot, paster, they should ask all ninety four
guys on that roster, do you think he belonged. No
one's gonna be like, no, yeah, I think I think
my dream's over and I think I'm actually not built
for this NFL thing. Even if you are having question
marks about your talent level, you faking it to you
make it. No guy's gonna sit there and be like,
I'm not good enough to play in the NFL. It's
the same thing as a couple of weeks ago. They

(58:30):
have their reporter that keeps shorting bad things about Shoulder.
It's like Should Sanders confronts reporter and you watch the
video and he smiled like, Hey, you're gonna write some
good things about me?

Speaker 1 (58:40):
Yeah, like you're gonna do.

Speaker 5 (58:41):
It's like you have to tip your if you are
a Shugar Sanders hater, you gotta tip your cap to
the way he's handled this This kid no disrespect? Is
that a silver spoon? Shove so far up his ass
his entire life. His dad is Dean Sanders, his dad
is Prime Time. He has been in the spotlight, he's
been in reality TV shows. He has been probably given
a little bit more than he should have in college.

(59:02):
Go back to his jersey retirement thing. I think we
can all agree that, and Shane actually put it the
best at the SP's of being like whatever his record
is and winning the alimbule or losing the alimable, whatever
it was, that probably doesn't get you a jersey retirement
in your college. However, he's been punching the face from
following on the draft as far as he can. People
hating on him, hating on this much, and he still

(59:23):
continues to have a smile on his face and works
his ass off. For me, I've seen enough. I need
to see a bush or I'm I'm bought in, and
I hope he has success. But it's like to go
and try to grab all these things. It's just while
his brother, on the other hand, I'm sure he's a
great kid. I'm sure he's fantastic. But if you're an
undrafted cat and you're swinging on guys in the last
preseason game, you are going to get cut. There's there

(59:46):
is no offense or butts you. I was a first
round draft pick. I could almost murder somebody, and I'm
probably going to be on the team for the year.
That's the reality of the NFL we're dealing with. When
you're undrafted, you have to do everything right. You have
to be on time every single time. You can't be
getting in fights, and you have to show sparks where
they're like, wait, who's this kid over here. I could

(01:00:08):
fuck around my first year of camp and act like
an idiot, and they're gonna be like, give them time,
let him mature, he's a talent, blah blah blah blah,
all those things. If you're undrafted, Shiloh said, you cannot
be swinging on a tight end. That's just it's an
unforgivable move. It's dumb, and it might have hurt you
from getting into another team.

Speaker 1 (01:00:24):
Yeah, come on, you get caught up in the moment
there for sure. But yeah, I mean you said that,
I got I got no notes. You're right, you got
to do everything right, like do everything on you have
no you don't have nine lives, you don't have any
extra lives like you've got to be somebody. That's where
it's like, oh, hey, he's pretty good. Does he know
the playbook? Is he serviceable on special teams that do

(01:00:44):
you do all the things right? That's where you set
yourself up for the best chance. To me, what's the
saddest about this whole thing is not even about Shoulder.
It's not about Shiloh. It's about how everybody else feels
about fans that are on the other side, that are
arguing on fucking social media about the whole thing. Because
if you the way you put it, it's like, if
you watch the body of work Shader has put out

(01:01:05):
there since he's gotten into the NFL, since he's gotten
into the training camp, the way he's handled interviews, everything
he knows he's got to put his head down to
work and he has done that. Yeah, I think he's
gonna continue to get opportunities. But for everybody to make
it it's just it. Surely crowds arguing gets crowds. It's
not even about the actual player. Yeah, people being upset
about you know, it feels like a politicized fucking thing.

Speaker 5 (01:01:25):
Yeah, it's too much. I mean, we're I mean, we're
the headlines and the fun storylines are about to start
coming out where we can all kind of grasp something.
Is this team good or this team's fumbling at all?
We're gonna have all those things July August. Everyone's looking
for a story. Every media outlet is trying to do it.
You'll watch Kim Wore podcast. What do I ask? I
ask about Shadarra Sanders?

Speaker 1 (01:01:44):
Why?

Speaker 5 (01:01:45):
Because I know you you guys are gonna go and
be like, oh wait, let's go look at that clip. Yeah,
we all fucking do it. But it's like, now we're
getting a real football where the real shit that actually
matters in that world is gonna happen. Yeah, you're gonna
be good this year or you're not gonna be good
this year.

Talk to me about your relationship with Puff and how
difficult it was for him to get you on this podcast.

Speaker 11 (01:13:09):
It really difficult for him. I try to get here
here very day. Yeah, somebody got to do it, you know.
On the team, I think the players don't do it enough.
I mean, Puff is a cool guy. I mean he's
someone that like being around. I'm glad he's doing our
our operation here. He tried to make me do much
more than I really want to do. Yeah, so you know,
I'm trying to put my foot down on him. But

(01:13:29):
I mean I like Puff, I'm glad he with us.

Speaker 1 (01:13:33):
Yeah, no doubt.

Speaker 5 (01:13:34):
It's got to be. It's got to be tough you
coming to this media market. Everybody wants a piece of you,
and really, at the end of the day, like you're
quoted having endless quotes of just being like, I am
so focused on football. All I want to do is
focus on football. So for you to sit and take
the time.

Speaker 1 (01:13:46):
I do appreciate it appreciation. What's the learning curve been
like for you going from college to the NFL. How
do you feel like you've handled it personally? You have
quotes out there, waking up before thirty, getting to getting
to the facility early, Like, what has the process been
like for you? Retaining the offense and just finding your
own ways to learn through it.

Speaker 11 (01:14:07):
I think the biggest learning curve was I would say
the time and the terminology of the NFL. And I
just think it's different from college because there's more communication
in certain plays, maybe sometimes over communicating a certain plays,

(01:14:29):
but it all comes down to each word means something
for everybody. In college, we can have one word and
everybody know what to do. So I think that's the
biggest learning curveage just learning that but also making it
make sense in your mind, getting reps at home on
a VR that we have here. And then I'll say
the biggest thing was saying the play call for me

(01:14:51):
and I did it my last year Miami, saying a
play call, huddling up, but just how the play call is,
how long, how worthy they can get. It's just very
different in college.

Speaker 1 (01:15:02):
Your study habits have to be good, like even on
your own at home, because there's it's like you hear
stories about you. You could be talking shit with the
defender and coaches and you're giving you the play call
and you're retaining the entire play call and going out
and executing. I feel like that's very impressive for a
young age and a first year quarterback. So you're is
there anything creatively that you're doing at home that is

(01:15:22):
that you feel like people might not know on going
You have the VR stuff here. Anybody quizzing you, like,
what is your style of studying when you're by yourself.

Speaker 11 (01:15:34):
I say, everyway, my style from watching it on tape
to because on table it will show you the play
call as well. And then I'll say the biggest thing
I have just whoever I'm with, even with Strepo, like
he would be up here with me, some of the
other receivers, they would read the play to me and
I'll tell them only read it once, so I got

(01:15:54):
to remember it the first time. Because whether who's calling
their practice, Coach Nick or coach Klah, I always read
it twice. But I think just having to hear from
somebody whoever I'm around and then saying it again. I
think that's the biggest way I learned to just spit
out the play call fast and then just get rolling.

Speaker 5 (01:16:12):
I heard an interesting story about you when you went
to first gout to Miami. I don't know who it was,
but they talked about it was like the first two
or three days you were there, and they were there
to watch practice, see how spring ball was going, and
you were essentially motherfucking the team on how we're not
good enough, we got to be better. And it's like
your second third day in the building. Now I'm seeing
photos of you standing up in front of the team

(01:16:32):
of tessee Titans talk to you about your leadership mentality.
And then when you walk into an NFL program seeing
guys that are in year ten, you're eight nine, like
guys who have families and kids, and you're a young
cat who's coming as a first overall pick, putting yourself
in a leadership category with this team.

Speaker 11 (01:16:49):
I was just thinking more about learning your teammates. As
a quarterback, you always going to be the leader, no
matter if you want the job or you don't want
the job. It comes with the territory. So I think
young quarterbacks got to understand that, and I understood that,
I would say as soon as I got to college,
and just being able to be in the locker room
with vents. They also helped me on becoming a better leader,

(01:17:12):
knowing how to interpret my words to the guys. They
also just being around the older coaches and the building
Coach Bush and Coach Rocker. I think those two guys
they sat me down and they also helped me, you know,
be a better leader just every day, just trying not
to I would say, over communicate, but get the things

(01:17:34):
that we really need to get done. And that just
all comes with work ethic end. I think, just the
grit that you want to have. Like in Miami, we
were a very talented, talented team last year, but when
I first got there, we weren't there mentally. So I
tried to get guys there mentally because the end the day,
I say, at least eighty percent of the game is mental. Yeah,
you gotta have some physical, you know, attributes to play

(01:17:55):
the game, but you got to have a mental attribute
as well. And just for here, I think just all
about playing together. I think we've got a great group
group of guys in the locker room. We're unselfished group,
and I think the best that we have in Jeff Coandre,
Tona Calvin, like they've helped me just in this short
amount of time, you know, get to at least being
able to play at a high level. I know, I
got a lot of work to do. I'm glad I

(01:18:17):
got those guys.

Speaker 2 (01:18:17):
Boy me.

Speaker 1 (01:18:18):
You mentioned like stepping into college and understanding the role
that you're playing leadership wise, and being the quarterback. Who's
been your biggest influence in leadership? Because it is uncomfortable
no matter how you spend it, the first time you're
standing up and speaking to the team or stepping out
of your comfort zone to be like, I'm gonna take
on this responsibility. Who's been your biggest influence when it
comes to leadership.

Speaker 2 (01:18:41):
I wouldn't say I had an influence on that.

Speaker 11 (01:18:45):
On being into leadership, I just always felt that I'm
always saying what's on my mind, no matter how it
comes out at any given moment. I just I'm gonna
say what I feel. If it touches you a certain
type of way, then it touch me.

Speaker 2 (01:19:00):
I could give. I don't care.

Speaker 1 (01:19:03):
So, but is that something you're observing from either your
parents growing up, they created a space where you could
have this confidence with yourself.

Speaker 11 (01:19:12):
Uh yeah, yeah, I would say that, especially growing up.
My parents they real old school, so you know, they believe,
they believe in whoopings, they believe in taking stuff away,
So you ain't gonna get over on them, especially as
a kid. Over time, you know, they got a little
bit more leaning with me since I'm the I'm the
youngest of the family, so I got a lot, I
got a lot of way, you know, with a lot

(01:19:33):
of stuff in my house. So I just think, you know,
just it's it's a part of parduct of your environment.
I think my parents raised me well, and you know,
I think I think, you know, it shows in my leadership.

Speaker 5 (01:19:44):
There's a I mean, there's new era of college football
or nil. Everyone's got money, everyone's making something, change cars,
Like it's really like a mini NFL. At this point,
you see a lot of guys allowing the distractions to
overcome them. But you're a guy that consistently you see,
whether it's some press conferences, that viral video of you
and Shaudure sitting there and is like, hey, let's do

(01:20:06):
let's do a song, and You're like I'm a football player.
All people to know I'm a football player. At what
point were you, like, were you not letting yourself be
distracted by all the new shiny things. Obviously, you have
one scholarship ball for coming out of high school, then
you go to Washington State and end up in a
place like Miami. There's a lot of opportunity there with
you making money to be distracted. But you just seem
like a guy that consistently is like the main thing

(01:20:28):
is the main thing, that's all that matters is football.

Speaker 11 (01:20:31):
I just think that's how I always carried myself. Like
even now, even after signing the field, I still don't
have no crazy stuff. Eventually, I'm gonna get me some
crazy stuff because I worked for I want eventually, but
that's just never been my focus, you know, at that time.
Right now, still on my face my focus, and I
want to be known as a football player.

Speaker 2 (01:20:52):
At the end of the day.

Speaker 11 (01:20:53):
I just think, you know, that's what you know, at least,
I was put on this earth for one thing to
do is play football. I think I'm very good at it,
and I just I just believe in just showing you know,
my skill set and everything else. Take care of yourself.

Speaker 1 (01:21:08):
I was just gonna say, why do you love football
so much?

Speaker 11 (01:21:13):
I think I love it more now because it wasn't
my first love. So every day I'm constantly learning something different,
whether it's by myself, whether it's about what I need
to get better at, or just in offense particular. I
was a big time basketball player growing up. That's really
all I want to do. And then, you know, just
over time, football just became just better to me. The

(01:21:36):
atmosphere around at the crowd around it, the enthusiasm everybody
plays with, and I just think there's nothing in this
world like football, nothing, no other sport can relate to it.
And I really didn't start taking football serious until my
senior year of high school. And I think just after
that there wasn't a lot of kids, you know, who
could throw football like me, and you know, I just

(01:21:57):
took off and.

Speaker 2 (01:21:58):
Ran with it.

Speaker 1 (01:22:00):
Did you start picking up football because you're like, all right,
basketball might not be working out for me at the
next level.

Speaker 2 (01:22:04):
Yeah, it was. It was sort of like that.

Speaker 11 (01:22:07):
I wasn't really getting no no offers, or wasn't hearing
from those big time schools, you know, in basketball. I
played football my whole life. My dad was a quarterback.
He told me how to throw the football. But I
was just so in love with basketball that I wanted
to push it away. But then, you know, just over time,
I just had to get back to it because I
knew it was my opportunity to showcase my skills.

Speaker 1 (01:22:29):
After you get wild, yeah it is.

Speaker 5 (01:22:30):
After you get one offer, you end up going there
for a year. What is take me through the transfer portal?
Because Will and I were old, like there was no
like anil if you transferred, you'd have to sit out
for a year back when we played college. But like,
what is that process like when you have to look
at the team you're playing with me like, I'm out
of here. I'm going to find a better opportunity for
me in.

Speaker 2 (01:22:49):
My future transferport A while it.

Speaker 11 (01:22:53):
Was wild the first time I got in, and the
second time got even worse, and it's just gonna continue
to get worse and worse, and in regardless of why
the person is transferring, I was transferring for a better opportunity.
I played FCS for two seasons. I balled out both seasons.
I just think it was ready for me to take

(01:23:13):
that step. I wanted to go to a Power five.
I couldn't do that out of high school. So when
I got my opportunity, I would go. Then when I
left Washington State, I did two years there. I really
was just wanted to find a new place. I was
gonna leave at the end of season, no matter what,
whether it's gonna go to the draft or hit the portal.
I already had my mind made up. And just going

(01:23:34):
to Miami, I think just you know, just made everything
come to light. But I just I really think the kid.
It depends on why the kid is transferred. And majority
of the kids who are transferring where they're getting a
portal late or early, is because they're trying to get
on the field. Because the end of the day, the
goal is to try to get to the NFL, no
matter how hard it is, no matter how you can get.

Speaker 2 (01:23:54):
It, that's the goal.

Speaker 11 (01:23:55):
And uh, half the kids, I would say three four
kids are transferred because they need to see the field.

Speaker 2 (01:24:01):
That's the only way you can get to the NFL.

Speaker 11 (01:24:03):
And I think the NIL made it better, especially in
not only quarterbacks but everybody because now like we can
actually get paid for a job, like college football is
a job, you have a way different schedule than a
basketball player or you know, if it's a if it's
a soccer player or in college or just a regular

(01:24:26):
student college, Like, the job is actually different from early
mornings to late nights. The fall camp is where the
job really kicked. He into the season. So you know,
I'm glad. I'm glad, you know I was able to get,
you know, what I deserved in college. I'm glad the
young guys that will continue to get what they deserve.

Speaker 5 (01:24:41):
You talked about every kid wants to go to the NFL,
wants to go to the draft. In twenty twenty four,
you declared for the NFL draft ended up going to Miami. Like,
what was that process like where you're like, you know what,
I Am going to take one more year and maybe
get my draft stuck a little higher or whatever it is.
Because you said, if the goal is the NFL Draft,
and you send it that paper and they're like, oh,
you could be whatever, first second, third round pick, it's

(01:25:02):
like you're It's like they're basically saying you can achieve
your goal right now. What was the reason to go
to Miami.

Speaker 11 (01:25:07):
I think the reason going to Miami is I I
love college football so much I didn't think I was ready,
but also what they were telling me, I just thought
it was bs. I got a chance to compete with
some of the other guys you know, in camps in
the draft class before, and I've just always thought I
was better than those guys, and so going to Miami

(01:25:28):
was easy for me. I knew in that situation I
wanted to go somewhere where I wasn't part of a rebuild.
They returned the whole receiving cord, the whole offensive line,
they returned majority of the defense, and so really it
was just plug and play for us the whole time
I was there. Coach Dawson and myoci there. He's a
spread he's a spread guy. He got a coach NFL
guys and Geno Smith and Clayton too, so he has

(01:25:51):
some experience with you know, NFL quarterbacks, and so I
just think the the biggest thing for me going there
was just being myself, and then it to me, here
is also another opportunity to lead.

Speaker 2 (01:26:01):
Coach Chris of Ball. He gave me the keys to
the kingdom there.

Speaker 11 (01:26:05):
He let me, you know, run the team how I
thought it should be rare, but you know, we were
able to get a couple of weirds out that season.

Speaker 1 (01:26:12):

Speaker 5 (01:26:52):
Enjoyed that Pima.

Speaker 1 (01:26:54):
You mentioned the NIL portal being wild. Is there a
story you look back on as the wildest story your
NIL portal days.

Speaker 2 (01:27:03):
For me?

Speaker 1 (01:27:04):
Or just yeah, or maybe something you witnessed.

Speaker 2 (01:27:09):
Something I witnessed.

Speaker 11 (01:27:12):
M I did see something it's about I was a
part of it actually, when I was going to Miami
and they wanted Jeremiah Smith and at the time I
didn't know who he was. Because he was young and
I'm trying to I'm trying to give me a place
to play. And so they they told me to just

(01:27:34):
look him up, watch him a little bit, and that
boy a baller. Yeah, And so they gave me his
phone number. I called him and I told him, like,
I'm going to Miami. It was before like it went out,
because I told him this maybe a week earlier before
I told him. So I been knew where I was
gonna go, but I'm always gonna do everything on my time.

(01:27:55):
And so you know, I called him. You know, we
chopped it up. He had to go to Ohio stay.
I was I was gonna talty, but you know, I'm
glad you went.

Speaker 1 (01:28:01):
Oh So, you guys are about to be a package deal.
Like in your head, you're like, all right, i'm gonna
call I'm gonna call up, I'm gonna call Jeremiah Smith,
and I'm gonna let him know that I'm going to Miami.
And in thinking that we're going to be aligned and
both going together. When you're telling him, you're thinking, all right,

(01:28:22):
he's probably gonna fall suit based on our relationship. So
then when he chose Ohio State, you kind of felt.

Speaker 2 (01:28:28):
Nah, I wouldn't.

Speaker 11 (01:28:31):
I wouldn't say that because I already knew the offers
he had. But I tried to get him there for
for me, you know, a good pass catcher, but they
already had good receivers there. So I mean, he's he's
one of the best players to go out of high school.
I think I think he made a great sas going
to Hot State just because productively what they're doing in

(01:28:54):
the receiving room there, he's gonna have a chance, you know,
another year or two to be one of the best,
you know, receivers to come.

Speaker 2 (01:29:01):
Out of there.

Speaker 5 (01:29:02):
Yeah, hardline too that. I mean he was a wide receiver.
I think he's the OC now. Yeah he got like yeah,
they just produced wide receivers all the time. Do you
think you were close getting them? You got off that
phone call and was there, It's.

Speaker 2 (01:29:13):
Like, yeah, I was.

Speaker 11 (01:29:17):
I think if I would have committed earlier, I might
have had a better chance to get him. But I
just waited so long. I literally waited the last day.
It's just he got he got you know, Dres too.
He he got to make his decisions. I think I
think I think if I would have you know, waited
a little or did a little bit sooner.

Speaker 2 (01:29:35):
I think I had a better.

Speaker 1 (01:29:36):
Reflecting on his recruiting tactics, he's stopped dragging my feet. Yeah.

Speaker 5 (01:29:42):
If I would have just yeah, if I would just
committed a little bit sooner, I could have had him.
You talked about going to these camps and seeing these
other quarterbacks and being like, I'm better than these cats.
So before your your final year at Miami, there's a
lot of conversations rolved around Seorge Sanders. He's the first
overall pack. Obviously, you guys, I'm assuming you guys have
a great relationship. Some of the clips you've seen and

(01:30:03):
stuff like that. What what is it like for you
to have like this rivalry with sh your door and
have it play out the way it has.

Speaker 2 (01:30:12):
I don't have a rivalry rhythm. That's my boy.

Speaker 11 (01:30:16):
So at the end of the day, this whole process,
we thought me and him were gonna be one to
two the whole time, whether he's one two where don
one he's two, and so that's just always been, you know,
our mindset. It didn't go that way, but I mean,
just coming out of college, even to the draft, I
thought he was one of the better quarterbacks in the
draft as well. Even throughout college, he's been productive. Where

(01:30:40):
he's been every time we both started fcs. He was
at you know, Jackson State. I was at Cardi Word
and that's where really we met for the first time
with our quarterback coach when we first got to college.
And then he's always been, you know, just a great
person to be around. A lot of stuff out there
all him ain't really you know the truth, just because

(01:31:00):
they spend it different ways, like they spend stuff about
me different ways. But I mean I've always thought he
was a productive quarterback. I mean a lot of people
may have your own opinion. I have mine as well,
But I mean when when he gets his chance, you know,
to become a starter, I know he's gonna make the
most of it. And you know, all ready to get
back to back to work with him, you know after
the season, you know, talk some more stuff to him,

(01:31:23):
you know, say some crazy stuff. I mean, we just
go keep on pushing each other.

Speaker 7 (01:31:26):
Uh.

Speaker 1 (01:31:26):
You talk about the media spinning things different ways. You're
leaving halftime? Was getting spun a lot of different ways
at the ball game in Miami? Was it always the
plan you go out there? Was it were you going
after the record, and then once you get the record,
you were gonna shut it down. Was it just play
one half of football? Was you try and get Miami
out to the fastest start as possible, and you were

(01:31:47):
gonna be done because obviously you have the net, you
have your you have this career to think about next.
But what what was the game plan going into that
Bowl game? That was crazy because it got spun everywhere.

Speaker 2 (01:31:59):
I didn't even know how this.

Speaker 11 (01:32:00):
Stuff was going on until I said, maybe two hours
after the game once I think my cousin sent me
a text message or some because I really don't be
checking my phone like that. And that's just always been,
you know, a part of playing. After we lost to.

Speaker 1 (01:32:17):
Syracuse, by the way, crazy crazy, that was pain.

Speaker 2 (01:32:23):
Yeah, pain, So sorry.

Speaker 5 (01:32:26):
That's a full different conversation.

Speaker 11 (01:32:29):
But after after that meet coach Dunston and Chris Ball,
we all had a conversation. They knew what I had,
you know and storing the future, and they also want
to you know, leave the program the right way, and
I respected it for it. That's always been a plan
for for me to play, you know, a half actually played,
you know more than me and the OC had talked

(01:32:49):
about and so I want to I want to get
out of there when it was my time, at least
up in the up in the game, we were up
by I think three points, and then at the end
of the time they were trying to find out who
their quarterback was going to be for next year. They
end up playing one of the young guys, so that
I think that let them know that, you know, they

(01:33:10):
want to go try to get a quarterback. They got
to go win and Carson back. But I also think,
you know, the guy who did play Emory, you know,
he's a good quarterback, and after this year, you know,
if it's Emmy time, I think he'll have a good
a good year onces his turn.

Speaker 5 (01:33:22):
What is it like, like Will brought up the Syracuse
twenty up by twenty one, when you when you're walking
to a game in Miami and you're like, essentially have
to put up forty first win and things are not
going your way Sometimes, what is that conversation like from
you to the defense or to the team when it's like,
we're essentially wasting this offensive juggernaut that we have going
on here because you did the your offense was crazy.

Speaker 11 (01:33:45):
Yeah, I think I think the end of the year,
we played team ball really majority all the time. Like
I can say the Virginia Tech game, I had two
books and the defense they kept us in the game.
The Georgia Tech game, we didn't have our best game offensively,
and the defense did enough to keep us in the game,

(01:34:07):
getting a two minute drive, and we didn't come through.
In the Syracuse game, we didn't lift up the defense
enough to be able to win that game and finish
it out. So I just think a key times, you know,
we didn't lock in and that that ended up results
us not making the playoff. But I mean we had
a good run.

Speaker 2 (01:34:27):
We had. I think.

Speaker 11 (01:34:30):
It was like five or six or seven, maybe seven
of us that got drafted. So that's a good draft
class for coach Chris of ball. All of us are
good places that we want to be in. But I
mean one of those we have a game like that
when you up that much and then you just end
up losing like that, That's that's something that you don't
want to go through as a competitor.

Speaker 2 (01:34:50):
But end of the day, you gotta lose to win.
That's how I think of it.

Speaker 11 (01:34:54):
And the guys who got drafted with all the good situations,
and I believe that might even gonna be able to
get some more d facing this next draft class.

Speaker 5 (01:35:01):
What uh, when did you know that the Tanser Titans
is going to be your new home?

Speaker 1 (01:35:06):
I knew, Like when did you know? When did you think?

Speaker 5 (01:35:11):
I'm pretty sure this is gonna happen? And then when
we're like, all right this, I know for sure now
this is happening.

Speaker 2 (01:35:16):
I think honestly pro Day, I think PROD.

Speaker 1 (01:35:20):
We hear you, puff puff, don't worry like we see
you back.

Speaker 5 (01:35:24):
He's enjoyed.

Speaker 2 (01:35:25):
Yeah, a meeting, this ship over work. This ain't my
damn one. What you talking about? To check my one?

Speaker 5 (01:35:36):
And you're free to go whenever you'd like.

Speaker 1 (01:35:39):
I say, the last question, we're in the middle of
the Titans question.

Speaker 5 (01:35:44):
You want to put the Titans?

Speaker 2 (01:35:47):
They did you put the camera?

Speaker 11 (01:35:51):
I would say I knew, at least in my mind
pro Day after pro Day, because that was the first
time to get to see me throw in person. And
then because all the draft is you you got the
idea where you're going. You see just stuff they put
on TV out there in the media, but you don't
know to your name get called. And so even like

(01:36:12):
we was at the draft. They was on the clock.
You know, they waited like two three minutes. I'm like,
I'm like, what's going on, what's going on? And so
they end were calling me, tell me that they're gonna
take me, buty. I mean, that's that's an unbelievable sperience.
I mean, it's something that you dream of every single
day of your life. For me, I want to be
a professional basketball player. But you know, I knew, you know,

(01:36:33):
the chips won't fall my way, but they feel my
way football. And so when you get a chance to
be a pro is something you don't take it for granted.
But I mean, that was that was an unbelievable moment,
not only for myself, all the other draftees, no matter
where you was first or seventh round, we all remember that.
You know, I'm glad I'm here, you know, and not
nowhere else.

Speaker 1 (01:36:52):
What what individual defensive player are you most excited to
line up across from you know way to where it
might be Oh fuck, that miscared about to try and
get my ass. I would say like, oh that's pass Calvin.
I can't wait to watch you work today.

Speaker 11 (01:37:09):
Individual, well, so I would say more d lineman because
I'm not really going against the dB for every play.
I'm going against the D lineman every play where they
trying to sack me, press me, whatever. So D lineman
I would easily have to say Max Crosby and Chris Jones,

(01:37:33):
those two, those two of the best football players in
the world, probably some of the grades of all times.
So I'm trying to be up there. You know, eventually
my when my time is done in the NFL. And
you know, if you if you want to be up
there with them guys, you know, you gotta be able
to compete with those guys, and you gotta be a
you know, say some crazy stuff to it.

Speaker 2 (01:37:51):
You gotta be able to get there to play your game.

Speaker 1 (01:37:54):
You have you have some crazy stuff that you say
with the With Jeff Simmons in practice, there's always some
you know, a fight broke out, cam Ward, Jeff Simmons,
you haven't fun with the D line of the Tennessee Titans.

Speaker 2 (01:38:04):
I always have fun with those guys.

Speaker 7 (01:38:07):
Jeff.

Speaker 11 (01:38:07):
I think the sleeper is already key. That's my guy
right there. Even James Lynch, I'll be resting with him.

Speaker 7 (01:38:15):
Bash.

Speaker 11 (01:38:16):
We we all be having to a blast out there,
but I mean I'm ready. So you know, they think
everything is sacked of practice. I'm telling them it's not
a sack. So you know, if they ever get a
chance to, you know, play me the game, they gonna
find out.

Speaker 1 (01:38:29):
Yeah.

Speaker 5 (01:38:31):
But like questions, so anyone would do anything for an
ice cold bud? Like, what is something that cam Ward
would do anything for? Can't say family?

Speaker 2 (01:38:40):
Would I do anything for? Yeah, I would do anything.

Speaker 11 (01:38:46):
I'll probably say for football just from general. This is general,
this tout football is. I don't know where I'd be
without sports. That's why, you know, I think sports is
one of the greatest thing because to teach you so much,
whether you win or you lose, whether it's an individual
or team sport, but especially for football. I mean it's crazy,

(01:39:09):
how you know, just a little way, a little pisky
can change your person's life forever. No matter what sport
you play, Sports actually change your life, your family's life.
But I think I think it teaches you more outside
of just you know, giddy things that you want as well.

Speaker 1 (01:39:25):
Cam Ward, Hey, thank you man, It's it's been cool
to watch them afar. I can tell that your parents
did a good job. You speak on them. I love
how you bring up examples of your dad and you
can see quotes from your dad. You can tell your
parents are proud and it fires me up. And thank
you for your time, Bro.

Speaker 2 (01:39:40):
So I appreciate it.

Speaker 1 (01:39:41):
Yeah, appreciate you man.

Speaker 5 (01:39:41):
Thank you all the things he said, all things will says.

Speaker 2 (01:39:45):

I'm gonna learn about you in the fly Man.

Speaker 2 (01:40:53):
Well, yours is for you?

Speaker 5 (01:40:53):
Eleven? Yeah, buddy, that's incredible.

Speaker 2 (01:40:57):
Oh yeah, for sure.

Speaker 5 (01:40:58):
I mean, how does it feel to be playing eleven
years in the NFL? Did you ever think that as
a kid?

Speaker 2 (01:41:01):
No? I mean I just wanted to play eight.

Speaker 13 (01:41:04):
So I mean, right now, I'm just in overtime pretty much.

Speaker 5 (01:41:07):
So we're just bonus. We're in bonus hours right now.
Go drinking the next time you wake up in the morning,
You're like, I feel good.

Speaker 13 (01:41:13):
Yeah, it's a little it's different, you know, obviously, like
your body changes and you got to be able to
adapt all that different type of stuff. But for the
most part, it's cool because I get to experience a
different city, different coaches, different teammates rather than just being
at the same place for so long.

Speaker 5 (01:41:28):
Why did you just like, where did eight come from?

Speaker 7 (01:41:32):
I just thought it was a good number.

Speaker 13 (01:41:34):
My dad played for seven, and then my uncle played
for three, and so when people was just like, well,
how long would you want to play. I was just like,
I mean eight sounds yeah, eight sounds pretty both combined. Yeah,
he beat me when it came to getting drafted. He
got drafted in the second round and then I went
in the third. But for the most part, though, I mean,
I think it's been pretty cool. I think after eight

(01:41:54):
like the more that I played each year, I was like, man,
I want to play again, and I still got so
much that I could be to get better at. And
then even last year, when I looked at the film
and I was watching myself throughout the season, I thought
that I was still doing a lot of the same
things that I was doing with getting open. It was
just hard for the ball to find me with as
many great players that we had. And so that's why
I was like, well, I'm cool going into year eleven.

Speaker 1 (01:42:15):
Yeah, what were some of the best What were some
of the best titbits of advice from your dad and uncle.

Speaker 13 (01:42:23):
I mean, they gave me a lot of advice. It
just depends on the situation obviously. Like one of the
things that I would talk to my dad about is
just special teams. Like he was like, that's really the
biggest part about being able to play early because a
lot of times, if you're not first round or second round,
you got to be able to earn your way to
be able to play. And so when they drafted me

(01:42:45):
up in Seattle, I was already gonna be a starter
at punt return and kickoff return.

Speaker 7 (01:42:49):
It was more just my job to lose.

Speaker 13 (01:42:52):
And so the more that I was able to play
and I showcased what I could do if they dressed
four or they dressed five, I was also one of
those people that were dressed and at that point it
gave me the best shot to compete, to try to
be within those first three receivers. So I think that
was one of the biggest things my dad would always
talk about. And then another thing he said was just

(01:43:13):
don't worry about adjusting to them. Let them adjust to
you within the coaches, because a lot of times they
draft you because they loved what they.

Speaker 7 (01:43:20):
Saw when they watched you in college.

Speaker 13 (01:43:22):
And a lot of times when we get to the league,
we start trying to change our game to how we
think they want us to play. And he was like,
just go out there and just do the same things
that you were doing, and they'll, you know, kind of
like work around you, and so that was really one
of the biggest things.

Speaker 5 (01:43:37):
What is the biggest difference culture that you've seen between
like the Tines in Seattle.

Speaker 13 (01:43:42):
I mean, I think it just depends on the head coach,
because everybody's different, right, Like with Pete, it was come
as you are, like, I'm not gonna tell you what
you can and can't do, as long as it doesn't
become a detriment to the team. There was a lot
of like you had to be self aware and you
had to be self motivated because we did things that

(01:44:02):
was like in a competitive level, like shooting hoops and
doing all these things, and people can have so much fun,
but if you weren't doing the work, you weren't going
to be on the team. And so he would he
found ways to have fun but also to compete. And
the people who couldn't do both of those were the
ones that wouldn't make it because they just fell in
love with the fun and they didn't fall in love

(01:44:23):
with the competing aspect. And then you know when Mike came,
Mike's more of like a military style coach, so kind
of similar to when I was with Coach Snyder in college,
and so like a lot of his stuff and how
he goes about it is a lot different and it's
a lot more like time consuming and a lot more
work oriented. And then coming out here with Cali, it's like,

(01:44:43):
I think it's kind of the best of both worlds
because he's come from a lot of different places where
you know, he's been within the Peyton Manning systems, he's
been within Sensy and so kind of like understanding the
new age of how to be able to tailor things
to get the most out of your place. That's kind
of like what Calie is starting to do here.

Speaker 1 (01:45:03):
You have a it sounds like you have a phenomenal
head on your shoulders and somebody who is you you
brought up the keyword being self aware. Like in the league,
I have a couple of different questions, but when it
comes to like you know your dad and uncle, I'm
sure you've got a lot of different types of game,
but you're you're you're known for like when you catch
the ball, if you get close to a hit, you'll

(01:45:24):
go to the ground. Like to me, I'm seeing that
by the way, I'm seeing that as like you understand
that your best abilities availability is probably a reason why
you've lasted so long in the game. You're also somebody
off the football field who optimized himself through poetry. You
also have a real estate portfolio in Tulsa, so it
seems like you've picked up a lot of things around

(01:45:44):
the game too. How can I allow the game to
work for me on the field and stay available at
all times and allow the game to work for me
off the field at all times. Was this something that
you were aware and trying to jump into and be
intentional about, like right out of the gate when you
came into the NFL.

Speaker 13 (01:45:58):
I mean, well, I think football I's always been a
stepping stone of like what you should be wanting to
do whenever you're done. I think a lot of times
what we do is we put ourselves in a difficult
spot because as soon as we're done playing, then we
want to start the next thing, and it's a lot
more difficult because the fan bases start to leave because
they start tailoring and going to different players. Then all

(01:46:20):
of a sudden, maybe certain organizations may not help those
players out as much because they were, like you, never
took advantage of the opportunities in the stuff that they
had that was there with the marketing, the branding and
all that different type of stuff. And I think for me,
the more that I've just played. Obviously, one of the
coaches that I had in college, his name was Andre Coleman.
He would talk about how like, man, look at Isaac

(01:46:43):
Bruce and Tory Hunter, Tory Holt. I can't think of
it right now. He was like, look at Tory Hold
and Isaac Bruce, Like they catch the ball, they fall,
and you know, they get what they can get and
they live to play another play. And you know, even
in college, I'll still catch the ball running. I wasn't
falling as much unless it was like three or four people.

(01:47:04):
But it's not until you experience like some of those
gruesome injuries that make you start to reflect and do
some of those things. So like in college, even my
freshman year, I ended up having like a last rated kidney,
and you know, I think I still scored, but it
was just the fact that I was out like the
last two games or whatnot, just because I had a
lace rated kidney. And then all of a sudden when

(01:47:25):
I got to the league, even though it was one
of those freak incidents, I had caught a ball against
the Cardinals, and then he landed on my leg and
then I had a tip fib compound fracture, and then
all of a sudden, you know, you learn over time
that a lot of people don't come back from that,
and so now that I was able to come back
from that, you start to realize that the biggest availability

(01:47:47):
is durability, and you know, and vice versa, durability is
the best availability. So the more that you're out there,
the harder it is to be able to try to
replace you because they haven't been able to see. Certain
people take as many reps to be able to have
a chance to get in front of you, but as
soon as there's something wrong with the injury, or even
if it's minor or gruesome, it gives them a chance

(01:48:09):
to be able to look at everybody else. And so
I think for me, I just wanted to try to
be out there the most that I can. And sometimes
you sacrifice one, two, three yards, but if it's a
third down or a fourth down, you know, you got
to take those hits to be able to get it.
So you still got to be smart in the aspect
of when the fall and when not to. But it's
also based off of the quarterback, right, like, how fast

(01:48:32):
can they get the ball in your hands. The faster
they get the ball in your hands, the more you
could be able to make the move. There's sometimes when
it's third and four, you just need to secure the catch,
so you might body catch it just to make sure
you secure the catch, just to move the sticks, because
sometimes just when we want to get more that things
start to get taken away, like the ball.

Speaker 5 (01:48:51):
You talk about quarterbacks getting the ball out, putting in
certain places. What have you seen from a guy like
cambe Ward this early in his career.

Speaker 13 (01:48:57):
I think he does a great job and being able
to leave the receiver. He definitely knows how to throw
receivers open. And the more and more that we talk
and communicate and connect, we kind of get a feel
of what I like, what he likes, and what's gonna
be the middle ground to be able to get the
best out of both worlds. But you know, everybody knows
now he definitely comes in early. But I mean he

(01:49:17):
lives sleep breeze football, and I think as a rookie,
like the biggest thing that could be able to help
your growth is just the mentality of understanding defenses and
understanding how the league works because it is a copycat league.
And so the more that you can understand how defense
is playing the NFL and how the offenses work within

(01:49:39):
who's your first reads, your second read, your third read,
because even though they may be similar plays like college,
in certain systems, there's different reads depending on who the
coach says you should look at first, but then in
the league, it's a whole different read based off of
that same place. So the more he's able to understand
the logic of how the NFL works, which he's been

(01:49:59):
doing great job of, I think that's just gonna speed
up the process of him being more than ready.

Speaker 1 (01:50:06):
What is your off the field between poetry and real estate?
What fulfills you the most? What do you look at
and you're like, oh, this is I'm proud of this
work that I've done.

Speaker 13 (01:50:15):
You know, I never really paid attention to much of
the work. But I mean, if I'm not doing poetry
or if I'm not doing some type of real estate,
I mean I'm just watching TV. Like I grew up
in the way me and my mom were. We always
just watch TV. We watch shows, we would watch movies,
and so like that's literally what I do. Like my
wife gets mad because it's like she can't do it

(01:50:36):
all the time. But like I could literally sit at
the house from sun up to sundown and just watch
TV because I love watching shows. I wanted to be
like it's like growing up, I wanted to be like
a detective, like a cop, not a cop, but like
a lawyer. And so I would watch shows and movies
and try to figure out the whole point of what

(01:50:58):
this writer was thinking of before they would do it,
and it would get to the point where like I
already knew what would happen and I wouldn't even pay
attention and so like, but I love doing it because
it's almost like in football you're scouting. You're trying to
figure out what the coordinators are going to do and
how defenses play, and you try to figure out how
the story's going to end before you even started.

Speaker 5 (01:51:18):
What kind of shows? What kind of shows were watching
right now? That we just love this guy first off?
Will every time, yeah have you seen this show? Have
you seen that show? And I'm always just three years
behind everybody else.

Speaker 13 (01:51:30):
Oh yeah, I mean right now, I hadn't really been
I watched Love Island with my wife, so she wanted
to watch Yeah, So I was like, I'll watched that
a little bit. But I already had started this show
a while ago. But one of my homeboys is watching
Blind Spots, So I was like, all right, I'll watch

(01:51:50):
blind Spot a little bit. But I mean just some
of the shows that I loved watching, like at one
point like Scandal, How to Get Away with Murder, Money
heightst Definitely that that was in my top three.

Speaker 1 (01:52:04):
For sure, especially during COVID.

Speaker 13 (01:52:06):
Yeah, some of the sleepers that a lot of us
probably wouldn't watch. It's like the Originals, Vampire Diaries, like Legacy,
like all of.

Speaker 7 (01:52:17):
That is fire. I ain't gonna lie.

Speaker 1 (01:52:19):
That's pretty good.

Speaker 7 (01:52:22):
Where do I want to go with this?

Speaker 13 (01:52:23):
Prison Break figure feel like an all time favorite?

Speaker 2 (01:52:27):
Yeah?

Speaker 13 (01:52:28):
Lost, I mean I could go on for days because
next Yeah, you're crazy if you're watching.

Speaker 5 (01:52:35):
It's a good show.

Speaker 7 (01:52:36):
They just came up with another one.

Speaker 5 (01:52:40):
I thought the acting was horrendous.

Speaker 1 (01:52:44):
Dexter was my first Netflix show that I consumed. Then
it was Prison Break. That's kind of how I got
into the streaming services. How about Severance?

Speaker 2 (01:52:52):
Severance, have you watched that yet?

Speaker 9 (01:52:55):
No?

Speaker 13 (01:52:55):
I don't think I watched severing. Shit, it's a lot
of shows that I've watched, and I'm like, I can't
think of right now because it's I can't think of
a one that's on Hulu. But it's a lot of
different shows. Nah, it's the one when it's like Paradise.
I had watched Paradise. It's like it's like something's about
to happen in the world. So they go down like

(01:53:16):
underground and it's a whole world there that they're living in.

Speaker 1 (01:53:20):
Is that good?

Speaker 7 (01:53:21):
Is that one?

Speaker 1 (01:53:21):
Good?

Speaker 2 (01:53:21):
G it's a good one?

Speaker 7 (01:53:24):
Season two?

Speaker 1 (01:53:25):
How many how many teammates that you up? Like eight
Tyler helped me buy a house? Man, let me get
in on what you got?

Speaker 2 (01:53:32):
Oh, probably a couple.

Speaker 1 (01:53:34):
Do you work with any current teammates or former teammates?

Speaker 3 (01:53:38):
Oh?

Speaker 13 (01:53:40):
Yeah, in a sense like I was able to help
about some probably don't want their names named. So I
probably helped one, two, three, four. I might have helped
like five or six players, maybe seven or eight buy
a house, and so I helped one of them. I
helped two of them sell house, like, so it just depends.
Even if I'm not able to help them, I can

(01:54:02):
go refer them to somebody and we could still get
it done, but as far as me like working for
them and helping them buy it or sell it, definitely
probably about six to eight.

Speaker 5 (01:54:12):
Who is who is the guy that came on the
podcast had that incident with Percy Harbn Oh Golden Tate?
Golden Tate, were you in the locker room?

Speaker 1 (01:54:20):
We're going I was still at k State.

Speaker 13 (01:54:23):
Oh yeah, so when I ended up getting drafted, Golden
Tate had just signed to go to Detroit.

Speaker 1 (01:54:28):
Got you Kse State? I got y'all taking the Big
twelve this year.

Speaker 5 (01:54:32):
Yeah, we're gonna see.

Speaker 11 (01:54:33):
We'll see what they look like versus Iowa.

Speaker 2 (01:54:35):
State on Saturday in Ireland.

Speaker 1 (01:54:39):
I feel good. Yeah, we're about We're one minute away,
and listen, I want to respect.

Mandatory breakfast. We appreciate you. Take the time is hell
and so for you to come and sit here with us,
hang out for a little bit and get out of
your routine, it means a lot. So we really appreciate it.

Speaker 7 (01:54:58):
Yeah, I appreciate you.

Speaker 1 (01:54:59):
Man. All right, we interrupt this episode to bring you
dude wipes. Are you fumbling the ball when it comes
to getting a confident clean back in your end zone,
make the right play, call an audible and switch from
dry toilet paper to wet extra large dude wives. Why
it's simple. Wetter just cleans better, and dude wipes are
wet and extra large so they clear never smear your rear.

(01:55:20):
So when you got to go number two, be sure
to bring the number one product and clean Dude Wipes
the goat of cleaning your keyster available on Amazon and
that Walmart nation wide. Dude Wipes best clean pants down.

Speaker 7 (01:55:31):
Back to the episode, you know how that feels?

Speaker 2 (01:55:34):
Come on?

Speaker 7 (01:55:36):
All right? All right?

Speaker 1 (01:55:39):
No, no, he was born with the pads off.

Speaker 5 (01:55:43):
Yeah, first round year, I played every preseason game, the
full game.

Speaker 1 (01:55:47):
It was.

Speaker 7 (01:55:48):
It was different back then. It was a little old
school for sure.

Speaker 5 (01:55:51):
Yeah, but you know I'm with you guys. Yeah, under
Lesson was.

Speaker 1 (01:55:54):
Guaranteed though as a first rounder.

Speaker 5 (01:55:56):
Yeah, yeah, his life was set up. How's it been.
How's camp? You're making friends?

Speaker 7 (01:56:03):
Yeah, dude, it's the group is getting a lot more
tight knit. Camp's been great. Just been just been grinding,
like you know how I always have, and getting opportunities
with obviously Lloyd being down, he's coming back, so whatever
way I can help out, that's how I've been doing.

Speaker 5 (01:56:21):
Man, it seemed like in that Bucks game you were
holding your own around there.

Speaker 2 (01:56:24):
Seems like you're.

Speaker 5 (01:56:24):
Tossing some kids over the yard.

Speaker 7 (01:56:25):
Actually, I mean we we held up pretty good for camp.
He was able to have time to sling it. So
it felt good to stack a couple of weeks and
go against some good competition in practice.

Speaker 1 (01:56:37):
What year is this for you?

Speaker 7 (01:56:39):
This is year nine? Your training camp nine?

Speaker 1 (01:56:42):
Let's go, bro. Isn't it fucking crazy that you're in
this building?

Speaker 7 (01:56:47):
It is?

Speaker 1 (01:56:48):
It's after you know, when'd you come here?

Speaker 7 (01:56:50):
Twenty eighteen, twenty seventeen, seventeen was drafted under Malarkey?

Speaker 2 (01:56:56):
That was? What year was that for you?

Speaker 5 (01:56:58):
A third? Going to my third?

Speaker 7 (01:57:00):
Fourth, fourth, like Derrick Henry's second year, Like I was
here with I tell people all the time, like the
first quarterback I snapped to is Matt Castle. And then
they're like, oh, dude, you're pretty old, and I'm like, yeah,
I'm getting up there, like I just turned thirty one.

Speaker 1 (01:57:14):
Easy if you're in that locker room in two thousand,
if you're what's far? No? That was like I mean
and everything like, no, it could be a coffee too.
They don't want to yea, you don't want to risk
the coffee one? Yeah, did have it again. So back
in twenty eighteen, it's like you look around the locker room,

(01:57:35):
It's like, which dude in this locker room is going
to be here in twenty twenty five, Like, who's got
Corey Levin on the bingo card?

Speaker 7 (01:57:42):
No one, there's nobody else.

Speaker 2 (01:57:45):
There's nobody else.

Speaker 5 (01:57:46):
Kind of the longest ten you're tying, you just shoe
a cooke a little break? Was that two years?

Speaker 7 (01:57:50):
Uh yeah, twenty twenty, twenty nineteen and twenty twenty.

Speaker 5 (01:57:56):
Corey is the one of those casts that like left
and came back and he's like, this is this offensive
line room is ten out of ten compared to everywhere
else out there?

Speaker 7 (01:58:03):
Oh yeah, yeah, I don't know. It's the standard that
was kind of set and uh, just kind of the
camaraderie that was kind of built. I don't know, probably
when you first showed up and there was probably a
good room going before you.

Speaker 1 (01:58:20):
That's a good locker room guy right there. Given credit
to just a past generation cat.

Speaker 7 (01:58:24):
I mean, we're gonna try to uphold how it's been
year after year, and obviously new guys, new personalities come in.
But it seems like, you know, around here, they've always
got in linemen that generally enjoyed being around each other.

Speaker 5 (01:58:38):
So you know what, you know what Cory's got, He's
got the like he's able to hit the cats out
like from urban areas all like every different part of
the world.

Speaker 1 (01:58:47):
He's a gatekeeper.

Speaker 5 (01:58:48):
He's a gate keeper. He's their new Ben Jones, because
our locker room was real shaky until Ben got their
year three Blue guy.

Speaker 1 (01:58:56):
Glue Guy, glue Guy.

Speaker 5 (01:58:58):
Blue Guy. You feel confident about the season, about everything
like that.

Speaker 7 (01:59:02):
I feel good.

Speaker 5 (01:59:03):
I mean yeah, I mean you be like fifty three
is locked.

Speaker 7 (01:59:06):
I mean, you know it's not. I mean I was
not going for sure. Anything can happen, but I mean
I feel like I'm in a good spot as far
as my role on this team. I just like, again,
I just want to keep growing on it, see what
happens with it. I got. I have a lot of
tread on the tires still, so yeah, I just want

(01:59:27):
to play.

Speaker 1 (01:59:27):
Obviously here going into a year nine, give remind remind
the listeners out there that, like, what was it that
one or two year period to where what was it
the Bears.

Speaker 7 (01:59:37):
Right so I uh was that. I got released here
in twenty nineteen, went over to Denver, was put down
on peace squad after like two weeks, and then got
off their peace squad. Chicago picked me up with like
four games left in twenty nineteen, and then COVID hits
we don't do Ota is nothing, we just show up

(01:59:59):
for camp. They released me. I was like, Hey, I'm
going to go to the Patriots, be on their practice squad.
I was like, that's going to look good on my resume.
You know, someone's going to want to get me from there.
Ended up hating football, wanted to go home, went home.

Speaker 1 (02:00:13):
Why j football so much after New England?

Speaker 2 (02:00:16):
I mean it was just like, I.

Speaker 7 (02:00:19):
Don't know, I had already gotten released and bounced around
a couple of times that in that past year, Like
my son was back home. He was maybe seven months
old at the time, my first son. I don't know.
I just started to kind of see the different side
of the league and I was like, man, I don't
have to do this anymore. But so I decided to

(02:00:40):
go home. And then that was the year that Derek
went for two K and I was just in here
in Nashville just watching them and being around the buzz,
and I was like, I still miss it. So then
I started training again, probably like after the New year,
and then signed with the Jets in April. But I

(02:01:00):
had already gotten down to like when I stopped playing.
I was maybe like two fifty five, two sixty within
like three months, and then I got back up to
like eighty five when I signed with the Jets.

Speaker 5 (02:01:13):
Was there a defining moment when you're bouncing back and
forth of the idea of playing or you're maybe not
giving your own football where you're like, I'm gonna prove
the haters wrong. Like maybe you were late night playing
a risk game. Somebody comes at you and you're like,
I gotta show with these cats, I gotta I gotta
re energize my career.

Speaker 7 (02:01:34):
Basically, Taylor tried to call me soft.

Speaker 1 (02:01:38):
Muff and top Yeah you were, yeah, go ahead.

Speaker 7 (02:01:43):
It was something along those lines, but it kind of
sparked something in me to be like, you know what,
fuck this guy, I'm not a muffin top whatever business.

Speaker 5 (02:01:51):
That was kind of mean when yeah, no doubt, but
obviously it was needed at the time.

Speaker 7 (02:01:58):
I mean, at the time, it sparked something, and it
definitely got me.

Speaker 5 (02:02:03):
Say, we played risk until like two in the morning,
and at six am you did the group chat with
at the field.

Speaker 7 (02:02:09):
I mean, I don't know. It was kind of it
helped me. It helped motivate me a little bit. I
was already kind of getting started back and then I
was just like, you know what, just add a little
bit of fuel.

Speaker 5 (02:02:20):
It was.

Speaker 2 (02:02:20):
It was great.

Speaker 7 (02:02:21):
A little something, yeah, just a little something. Yeah.

Speaker 2 (02:02:26):
What else?

Speaker 1 (02:02:27):
What's your favorite snack during film?

Speaker 7 (02:02:29):
My favorite snack during film? I don't really snack much,
but if it's afternoon, I got to have a coffee
so that I have energy for my kids when I
get home.

Speaker 1 (02:02:39):
How is that balancing the football life and dad life.

Speaker 7 (02:02:42):
It's kind of. I got to get back into it
because we were just on the road for like ten days,
so I was able to you know, practice, do whatever,
and then just bullshit after you know, and whatever. But
now when I go home, the boys are ready to
see me for like, I mean, we get home at
a decent time, so I have a good few to
there's just wrestling and doing whatever the hell they want,

(02:03:05):
you know what I mean.

Speaker 1 (02:03:05):
Yeah, but your football you go home, you got to
be dead. They put them down. You probably got to
go back to the football mode to prepare for the
next day. Yeah, it's a different life than when you
have a gift and whatnot.

Speaker 7 (02:03:14):
When you put the kids down and you check it
out if there's anything weird. But typically, you know, by
this point in camp nothing, We've installed everything, so you know,
it's not it's not too crazy. But obviously we're playing
Minnesota here Friday, so you take a look at the
rushers and stuff like that, and then you by that
time it's freaking ten o'clock. It's ready time to go

(02:03:36):
to bed.

Speaker 1 (02:03:36):
Yeah, yeah, wake up early.

Speaker 7 (02:03:38):
Yeah.

Speaker 5 (02:03:39):
Do you have any like superstitions locker room things you
have to do before a game?

Speaker 7 (02:03:45):
I mean nothing, nothing major besides like putting the putting
the pants in the same you know, same way all
the time. You know, I'd always take like an ice
bath before a game. Nothing crazy like that.

Speaker 5 (02:03:58):
Just you have a couple of check boxes.

Speaker 7 (02:04:00):
They took away our our smelling salts, so we got
to provide our own, you know how that I don't know.
The club can't provide them for you. I think it.
I think they said it mass concussion symptoms, so they
don't want those anymore.

Speaker 5 (02:04:17):
But they're like, hey, you can go buy your own
and put in your locker.

Speaker 7 (02:04:19):
Yeah, so do you have your own? Josh Wiley provided
some last last week at all times there, I mean,
they're just not as strong as as the old ones,
you know what I mean.

Speaker 5 (02:04:33):
Ones in a jar now where you kind of that's.

Speaker 7 (02:04:35):
What you had. They were just loosing the jar and
it's just kind of but I think it's not the same.
It's not it's not the same as just cracking it
on the side. Especially you know that before kickoff, man,
that's like special, that's that's a special moment moment.

Speaker 1 (02:04:50):
Yeah, it's like accepting the body of Christ before you
go out there, just.

Speaker 5 (02:04:56):
Smelling at all time.

Speaker 2 (02:04:57):
Movie.

Speaker 5 (02:04:57):
All right, let's who's uh, number one bro on the team?

Speaker 7 (02:05:01):
Number one bro on the team.

Speaker 5 (02:05:03):
He's a guy that's like everybody would love this cat.

Speaker 7 (02:05:07):
Everybody would love this. I mean, there's there's lots of
guys on that team, uh that are that are bro maybe.
I mean, I think everyone enjoys Mason Kinzie. He's one
of those guys.

Speaker 5 (02:05:21):
That he's another guy that just can't kill.

Speaker 7 (02:05:23):
Yeah, I think everyone enjoys him. I mean, I would
like to say myself. I think everyone enjoys.

Speaker 1 (02:05:35):
All right, we're just a few boys sit on the
back of the tailgate just catching up. What are you
seeing out of cam Ward as a rookie? Like what
do you notice trait wise that you're like super impressed.

Speaker 7 (02:05:44):
With, pretend cameras on just the bounce back, Like if
he has a bad throw or you know, a bad period,
the next one, he's trying to bounce back with the
same confidence that he went into the first period with
and he's confident to make any throw he wants to.
I'd say the confidence in the next play mentality, how

(02:06:06):
is it?

Speaker 1 (02:06:07):
What have you seen from like leadership wise, being that
young coming into a locker room full of dads.

Speaker 7 (02:06:14):
You know, I think we're all the main thing is
we're all bought in for, you know, the main goal.
And I think obviously, you know, anyone's going to listen
to the quarterback to the offense, and you know, being
the first overall pick, like staff did their due diligence
to make sure this guy had all the qualities he
needed to be the first overall pick. So there's merit

(02:06:37):
in that you know, we're going to listen to him
when he speaks. He brought us up after the first
Atlanta practice and kind of told us like, hey, that
wasn't our standard whatnot. And when he talks, we listened,
So we were all listening. We came back in the
second Atlanta practice and overall had a better day. So
I think, you know, it doesn't matter with this group

(02:06:59):
age wise. We we need leaders at all levels, at all,
you know, at all ages, and I think he's one
of them.

Speaker 5 (02:07:07):
When you guys, when you see Cam and Jeff getting
into it that the media is probably blown away out
of proportion? Was the offensive line doing in that moment?

Speaker 1 (02:07:17):
Did you get a couple in there? You get a
couple of blows?

Speaker 5 (02:07:19):
Well, you gotta, you gotta. I mean, Jeff's a big
ass cat. You may be sneaking from the side like,
oh that.

Speaker 7 (02:07:23):
Was yeah exactly was in there right away.

Speaker 5 (02:07:28):
But I mean probably the guy you want to.

Speaker 7 (02:07:30):
Say, yeah, he's he's big as ship, but we uh,
I don't know, Like there was just some push and
shoving and then all of a sudden it just kind
of you know, scrums up and obviously like there's guys
way bigger than me. I'm kind of outside, what the
hell's going on.

Speaker 1 (02:07:46):
But Corey's like shoving backwards, like he.

Speaker 5 (02:07:51):
Grabs one guy and goes you and me, we'll just
think doing something quit.

Speaker 7 (02:07:55):
Hey, hey, knock it out, knock it out. But no,
the I to me, it kind of seems like the
relationship they have like a big brother little brother relationship,
and little brother just kind of upset Jeff a little
bit and you just kind of bark back. It wasn't
anything crazy. It was just a a little pushing and shoving.

Speaker 1 (02:08:15):
I need to see you hitting. Hitting Whenever you get
a pancake in the game or something.

Speaker 7 (02:08:22):
Yeah, I'll do it like you do that.

Speaker 1 (02:08:24):
You hit that. It's like that's when you see somebody,
you see an offensive lineman hit that celebration Like, Okay,
the culture and the swag here is growing, look it off,
get a pancake and then just start.

Speaker 7 (02:08:35):
It's a good sally for sure. It's nice. It's nice.

Speaker 5 (02:08:39):
Miss you.

Speaker 7 (02:08:40):
I miss you, guys man, I need to It's been great.

Speaker 1 (02:08:43):
Pat the chat fire up more just getting on the
stream going for risk.

Speaker 5 (02:08:47):
Brad does the best job of keeping that stream together
or that.

Speaker 7 (02:08:49):
He's the he's the group chats glue guy.

Speaker 1 (02:08:51):
He is. Then it will pop in every now and
then pop in, but it's mostly to shame us for something.

Speaker 5 (02:08:58):
And then he's onward and upward.

Speaker 2 (02:09:00):
Cork.

Speaker 5 (02:09:00):
He's just always in the shadows.

Speaker 7 (02:09:02):
I'm lurking. I'm lurking, sure.

Speaker 5 (02:09:04):
Always, But we do got off season, we got hit
the restream for sure, Let's do it.

Speaker 7 (02:09:09):
You're nine.

Speaker 1 (02:09:12):
The league longer than guys sitting next to you.

Speaker 2 (02:09:15):
How that feel.

Speaker 1 (02:09:18):
He's in your nine? He had to go another one
after that.

Speaker 9 (02:09:21):
Yeah, it's tough.

Speaker 1 (02:09:22):
That's tough business, trying to get to them double digits.

Speaker 9 (02:09:25):
Crazy first.

Speaker 5 (02:09:28):
Next, Hey, next, nine attends the hardest. Everyone knows that
nine attends the hardest one.

Speaker 7 (02:09:34):
I mean every year they're bringing in younger and these
young guys they bring in these days are so freaking
strong and fast. Dude, It's it's unreal. But you just,
I don't know. You gotta do what you do to
to hang on.

Speaker 5 (02:09:45):
I guess, And is there a piece of you that's like,
I gotta get ten so I can tell Will and
Taylor I got ten.

Speaker 7 (02:09:53):
Yeah, I mean it's not just for you guys, Like
I mean, I want to I want to play. I
have liked these different goals that I've been able to
set the last couple of years. But my newest one
is to try to be on the Titans when they
open in the new stadium.

Speaker 1 (02:10:09):
So try, yeah, try to still be here, Yoda, do
or do not?

Speaker 7 (02:10:14):
There is no try all right? Then I will be
on the Titans when they think I.

Speaker 5 (02:10:17):
Had a goal to I had a goal. It was
make it to when we had the alternate jerseys.

Speaker 7 (02:10:23):
Didn't make it, didn't make it, didn't make it, didn't
make it.

Speaker 5 (02:10:27):
This thing looks so nice? Do you think the Titans
should go full time back to those jerseys?

Speaker 7 (02:10:31):
I like the white helmets a lot. Are you talking
the oilers the oiler ones? I like those every couple
of games. But if we could go back to how
we had white helmets.

Speaker 5 (02:10:43):
At least and when do we change at eighteen?

Speaker 7 (02:10:45):
Yeah, when Vrabel's first year, I believe. Yeah, there's something
special about the all white uniform, you know, or the
way the white looks with the Navy with the white
pant you know. Classic.

Speaker 1 (02:10:57):
I like the white helmets too, because it's like the
Navy ones. They're just at their best when you're going
like all Navy in my right, more versatility with the
white home.

Speaker 5 (02:11:05):
Yea, you'd like to see a little more. If you're
gonna go white jerseys, go white helmet navy, if all
navy or the Navy helmet goes hard, very sick. Do
you miss the Smurfs the I never really wore the
you didn't get the color rushes.

Speaker 7 (02:11:18):
We did, and I think Thursday Night in twenty seventeen
versus Pittsburgh it was the only time.

Speaker 5 (02:11:25):
Yeah, we got Donkey that game and then I believe
that was it. That was the game ab went off right, Yes, yeah.

Speaker 7 (02:11:32):
Yes, so did I think Cam Hayward had a good
one too. I can't remember you go off in that game.
It was it was tough sledding. Yeah, tough sledding.

Speaker 5 (02:11:42):
There's tough times.

Speaker 7 (02:11:44):
That was a good line though. You guys played very
well together.

Speaker 5 (02:11:48):
Yeah yeah, I mean Josh Klin, Yeah.

Speaker 7 (02:11:51):
Quentin, Benny, Jack Conklin. Jack was that Jack's first year,
That was the second year.

Speaker 5 (02:11:57):
Yeah, Yeah, it was a good crew. Jack still doing
it out there, Jack still doing his thing out there.
Snekly Gumby is just doing his thing? Does he do
You to see the Browns play when you see the film,
is Jack still jackings?

Speaker 7 (02:12:09):
Jack still jacking?

Speaker 5 (02:12:10):
He's the most unique technique you've ever seen an offensivelignment
of all the time.

Speaker 7 (02:12:14):
He's crazy. It defies all jack and all season.

Speaker 5 (02:12:19):
He's jacket all season long. Buddy, We appreciate you coming
