01:57on the iHeart radio app, Apple Podcasts,or wherever you get your podcast.Ocho, Eagles, Jim, High Roseman speaks on the mistakeand the regret of not jafting Justin Jefferson.I think there's one who's pretty obvious.One guy didn't draft that's going to the Hall of Fame.The mistakes kill me.It made me think, why are we picking certain guys?
02:25But if we don't make that mistake like that,we probably don't play in two Super Bowlsin the last three years.Don't overthink things.When you're staring at a good player,just take them.Not drafting JJ,still haunts him to this day.
02:39Yes.Because think about who you took.Look, the guy that he took,I played with his father,Monta Regger.Jalen Regger is his son.Yes, sir.He got in awe of all the jumping high
02:53and running fast,and he overlooked the production that J.J. Jetta gave him on the field.I asked Ozzy Newsom, who's one of the best GMs to do it,drafted Jonathan, his first two players he ever selected with Jonathan Ogden and Ray Lewis.Right.He selected Suggs.He selected Lamar Jackson.He selected Ed Reed.
03:16We know what he's been able to do.And I asked him to say, Ozzy, Suggs, Ocho, he said Sugs ran 485.with tight and track spikes.I said, well, why the hell you take a man that run 4-8-5?He said, Shana, somebody got 23 sacks, I saw.Right.Somebody could be in the edge.Yeah.
03:38I don't need to run 40 yards.I just need to run 10.Right.And he can get off the ball.So I believe, he said, I'd never forget this.He said, I believe what my eyes tell me.He says, yes, when I'm watching film and a guy looks fast, he looks explosive,He looks strong.
03:55Hopefully he comes to the combine.Hopefully he tests well.But if he doesn't,I base most of what I judge it onby what I see on tape.I'm going to trust my eyes.How he didn't trust his eyes.He got enamored by Ocho,
04:1143, 4, 4, 4, 4, 4,he got enamored by 40 plus edge vertical.He got enamored by thingsthat doesn't necessarily equateto be able to, because if that was the case,hell, I just go get.get me a track guy.Yeah, yeah.
04:25Do you see when Noah Liles is warming up?Did you see how high he jumps up in the damn air?Yeah.His feet, his heels are at the height of somebody's head.So that lets you know, first of all,if a guy that fast, you know he's explosive, Ocho.Yeah, absolutely.Look at Tyreek.
04:40You say Tyreek did them backflip.You say, you got to see this joke in.Yes, you can tell he's explosive.Yes, so.Go ahead, what you're going to say,but what you think about how he said,admitting that he made a mistake not drafting Jenna.Well, you know, that happens.
04:55That happens.Obviously, it's the eye test.When it comes to scouts, GMs, coaches, and personnel in general, based off the eye test and not looking at numbers, you look at Justin Jefferson, and you look at Jalen Rigger, and you'll pick Jalen Rigger based on what you see when it comes to the aesthetics of the position in itself.So I can understand where he calls it a mistake.Actually, it's not a mistake because let's say you did go get jealous, you might not have the Super Bowls that you have.You know, you might not, you know, things would have been different.So everything went exactly how it was supposed to go, actually.But I'm upset.
05:32Well, he stumbled into it because guess what?The next year, DeMonte Smith came out and he was able to trade down and get DeVonte Smith.And a couple of years later, you trade and you get A.J. Brown.So you got your big two.Mm-hmm.It did work herself out.I was kind of upset.I really wanted, I really wanted Brother Jalen Rager to be great at the position.
05:53because he had all intangibles to be just that.Yes.One of the things with him is mentally.Mentally, I think he had lost his confidence at some point,and he just wasn't able to regain it backbecause he has all the potential in the world to be one of the best in the league.He just wasn't able to put it all together.Hey, okay, Ocho, do you think they put too much emphasis
06:15on, like, the testing, the combine?Yeah, when it comes of football, meaning because there are some guys,who will not test wellwhen it comes tocome by agility quicknessvertical. But when you put them in betweenthe lines,the lights come on,
06:33they just know how to play, bro.You know what I mean?That's for basketball and football.But I see that a lot of guysthis year, obviously, from watching Shadour,you know, I know I know we talk about him a lot,but he looks like one of those type of guys.You know what I mean?
06:49When you get him in between the lines,he just knows how to play, bro.You know what I mean?hell not, he probably ain't going to test welland no combine and no 40 or no vertical leapor none of that, you know what I mean?Yeah, yeah.If somebody goes to the combine, they might not be,
07:04we just had a tearing armstead.He goes to the combine and run 4-6.Now people looking at him.Yeah.You get a guy goes there and they might not be hurtor he might be a low.Go run 4-3.Yeah.
07:17Because I can teach you everything else.I can teach you to catch.I can teach you the back pedal.I can teach you to drop.I can't teach you how to run fast.Either you got that in you or you don't.But also, also as a gift and a curse, being able to run that goddamn fastand then believing you becoming a project coming to the NFL,
07:34well, we can teach you all intangibles to become a great player,whatever position you do play.Sometimes it's hard.Sometimes it's too late because if you're already in the NFLand you've been able to get by, you've been able to get by without the technique all this time.Yeah.If you got the technique at the next level, you don't get exposed anyway,no matter how goddamn fast you are.
07:53Unk, at that next level, everybody run 4-3at the skill position damn down there.Everybody, even the people that run 4-5or run 4-6 that play receiver or not,they know how to manipulate all those that are fastto be able to get open and create separation.So speed is just an ad.It's like having a car, unc, and you're throwing rims on there.
08:14And once you put it, okay, that's the speed in general.It's great to have, but you don't necessarily needto be successful at what you do.Let me know when to use it.Yeah.Have you ever heard anybody say size kill?Have you ever heard somebody saystrength killed?
08:31What do they say kill, Ocho?Speed.Yeah.Yeah.Speed.I can't teach you that.They say, well, he's talking, no, no, no, no, no.I can teach you technique to make you faster than what you are.
08:45But that's in you.Right.If you think somebody like got that,Usain boat was already.fast. Yes, sir. It was alwaysin him. He just found somebodyto get it out of him. Yes, sir.So now, Ocho, you look at it, we look
09:01at guys and they're like, man,what does everybody say?Ain't nobody said I want to do24 reps. Ain't nobody said I wantto do 40-inch vertical. Right.Everybody say, I want to run 4-3.I want to run 4-2.Because that's what's going to grab
09:16the attention. Right. Right. With ChrisJohnson ran that 4-2-4,yeahyeahJohn Rawls got draftedin the first roundbecause he ran 4-2-2yeah
09:30he couldn't stay healthyin collegeyeahso if you can'tOcho if you can't stay healthyin collegewhat makes you thinkyou're gonna be able
09:38to stay healthy in NFLyeahrightXavier Worthyyeahhe goes to run421 Ochoyeah
09:46whoa whoa whoa whoawhoa whoayeah movingI got a question.Go ahead.Excuse me if I'm wrong, Joe.Hey, when you watch Xavier Worthy,despite his 40 time,
10:01he doesn't look, he doesn't look as explosive.It's Tyree.He does not.Tyree looked like, it's like right now,bomb, he's gone.But Xavier Worthy ran a faster combine time,but he doesn't look that fast until he gets going on the field.Yeah, he's a buildup guy.
10:19Right.You know, some car, though, until you just step,like an electric versus gas.Right.Yeah.Like if anybody out there to have an electric car, you know you step on it.It doesn't require that spark.Right.
10:30It's gone.Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.You look at Tyreek.Tyreek, look.When you watch Tyreek run, when you watch the very first time,I say, damn, he looked.I said, maybe it's me.I said, but some people just look fast.
10:46You know what I'm saying?No, Joe.We see him.And it's one thing to like to see a,person up close and personal, but to watchsomebody from the television and say,damn, he looked fast.Imagine the person.
10:57Tyreek looks explosive.You could tell, but you can tell the way he built.Right.Look at how compact he is.Look at the muscle, the musculature.You can tell the way he walked.Oh, yeah. You can look at certain guys.Oh, he could do a backflip.
11:13Yeah.He could do certain things.That's how Tyree looks like that.Exactly.Xavier Ward is fast, but you've got to realize Xavier Worth is, what, 160?Tyreek, like 190.Really? You think so?Tyree?
11:29Yeah.He lost weight.He lost, remember he said that he dropped weight.Right, right.So he might be like 180, 180, 185.Yeah, so he might be.Xavier Worthy like 165.Yeah. And you know who Xavier Worthy might remind me of?
11:43Who did?They play the same type of runner style.They have the same gate to.And it looked like they're not running.until somebody trying to catch himor the ball is in the air,that goddamn Ted Ginn.Yeah.
11:54Yeah, Ted.Yes.Yeah.You remind you, I don't know if you remember him, Ocho,James Jett.Yeah, from the Raiders.From the Raiders, yeah.James Jett was alternate on the 4 by 1
12:07that won the gold medal in 92 at the Olympics.Uh-huh.Lord, have mercy.Because, you know, the Raiders always been enamored with speed.Yeah.They've always had guys that can run fast.They had Willie Gaunt,who they had Sam Grady,
12:22who won the silver medal in the Olympicswas on the 4x4 in 80, Dada.They had swerving Mervyn for Nandads.They've always had guys that could fly at that position.You remember when they drafted Darius Hayward Bay,Ocho, because he ran 4-3-2.Oh, yeah.Now, catching the football was a problem.
12:43Running fast was not a problem.Okay, look, because you can have all that speed,but if you don't know how to use it and get open, hell, it's useless.It is.And I tell people, man, you're not that fast.I say, all speed do is get you to the safety faster to get knocked out.That's a good one.This four, this four five, four six is leading fast enough.
13:05Yeah, it is.All you do it is get to that safety.So you drop the ham on you.But look, you're going to make a mistake.But think about what you've done.You drafted Jalen Hertz.You drafted Jalen Carter.You drafted Jordan Davis.
13:18You joined Cuba DeJon.You drafted Landon Dickinson.Look at the guy.You found Jordan Milotta.Look at the guy.Damn.How are you what you want to be?Howard, the baseball player, that man, that he struck out,
13:31he doesn't got three home runs and a double.He straight out of the land's plate appears.He's like, damn, I messed up.Bro.Howie.Bro, you doubt.DeBonte Smith.Look at the pigs that he's got, no, Joe,
13:46since he got that wrong.Listen, he's playing humble.Obviously, I don't think Howie even understands.Listen, I'm not a part of NFL offices or management or GMsor people in positions of power.But if anything, with Howie and Jeffrey Lurie have done the past, what,five, six years?Yeah.
14:06They're the goddamn blueprint on how to operate and build a winning team.I mean, to me, look at the defense.Hell, look at the offense.So if I'm in the NFL and I'm an executive of some sort,hey, we need to piggyback and steal what they're doing over here.It's a copycat league anyway.Absolutely.On the field, people watching film and stealing stuff that works the previous week
14:29on the opponent that you're playing.Yeah, they might as well do the same thing.It's easy to say it than done.You don't think, hey, man, I can do that.I might as well cross over the country, but you're not Beyonce.But, man, you see what Michael, you're not Michael.You're not Prince.You're not Usher.
14:45So it's easy to say this is what you should do.Right.But you're not one of them to be able to do it.It's easy to say, man, you see what Howie doing, but you ain't got Howie'seye.You don't know what Howie's looking for when he looks for a particular player.Yeah, it's easy to say, man, look at Ozzy.How many Hall of Fame did he draft?
15:03Yeah.Jonathan Ogden and Ray Lewis on, I think, the all 70th anniversary team.And read also.So you got three guys that's on the 100th anniversary team.Yeah.Three guys, first ballot Hall of Famer.Suggs is going to be in the Hall of Fame.Lamar Jackson is going to be in the Hall of Fame.
15:20The funny thing when I think about it, Joe,is Joe just said it clear as day earlier.When the lights are on,what do they look like in between those lines on the grass?There's a lot of film on everybody before you're drafting.Yeah.Hell, goddamn, it's common sense.I don't care what you ran the 40 in.
15:36Let's say you did run a slow time.How am I going to knock you when I know what I'm gettingwhen it's time to play the actual game of football?The game of football isn't, it's not, it's not played in the straight line anyway.This ain't track, Unk.So having speed is just another great factor to add to what you can do.But if you don't-Jar Rice might be the slowest receiver in the hall, Ocho.Huh?
15:58Jerry Rice might be the slowest receiver in the hall.Yeah, he ran four-six.Technical sound.Rampo-6, he was technically sound, but, Unk, he had something we call football speed.That's what you need.Football speed.It's a difference.And we know Emmett might be the slowest running back.
16:14Yeah.He got the most rushing yards.Yeah.Yeah.So when you look at it, we do.We put a lot of emphasis on speed, Ocho.But at the end of the day, can you play the game of football?That's it.
16:26Right.That's it.I'll listen, this ain't Olympics.Hey, we got Olympians.We're going to let Noah Lives.We're going to let kid have been there.We're going to let ride.We're going to let the whole hell of that.
16:36Can you play football?Because at the end of the day, we play a game called football.And it's not in a straight line.You would have to move.You would have to be, you're going to have to react.And the number one thing, you can't be a,look, there's a certain level.It's hard to say a player is soft because it takes a certain type of crazy.
16:56It takes a certain type of person to play the game of football.Well, not anymore.Not doing your error, doing my area, doing my error,it takes a certain level of crazy.The way the game is now, where it's favored and is handicapped the defense,Man, you got players out there catch him with one hand, man.That's why you see all of them going across the middle.Hey, and take your selfie.
17:17You got guys in the top of the way.Boy, they're a buff.Boy, Joe back in the 2000s, boy.In the early 2000s and before.Going from that middle?Going across that middle?Alligator arms.Man, listen.
17:38Is that man?Hey guys, it's AZ Fudd.You may know me as a gold medalist.You may know me as an NCAA national champion and recent most outstanding player.You may even know me as the People's Princess, but now you're also going to know me as your favorite host.Every week on my new podcast, Fud around and find out, I'll give you an inside look at everything happening in my crazy light as I try to balance it all.From my travels across the globe to preparing for another run at the Natty with my Yukon Huskies to just try to make it to my midterms on time.You'll get the inside scoop on everything.

21:38The tarry removal from the pub list means contract extension is on the way.Yeah, probably.Probably something is looming.They're almost there.It's probably not where it needs to be.But the fact that they think they can gun to practice is a good thing.He'll be able to get two weeks under his belt, if I'm not mistaken.He'll be able to get two weeks under his belt before he's able to play in a live game,
22:04which would be September, I'm assuming what, September, what, 7th maybe or 13th?What, that, Ocho?Huh?What at?No, in a live game, a real game.He didn't miss the preseason.Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.I know he definitely not going to play.
22:22The last preseason game, no.So I'm hoping, I'm hoping I pray once he gets paid, no setbacks, no injuries.It's going to be so different.It's going to be so different.The fact that he wouldn't have to go through training camp.Ocho, you took the word right out of my mouth.I'm saying to myself and I'm thinking to myself and I say I know Ocho thinking this.Man, I could not imagine not playing a meaningful game in eight, nine months.
22:50And my first real game is going to be a real game.I couldn't imagine it, Ocho.I wouldn't want that.No, hell no.I would tell, honestly, I would tell my agent, listen, if we get this deal done,I'm going to go practiceif there's a chancethat we get this deal done
23:11I'm going to go practicebecause I need people pushingI need people pullingI need to be fightingthrough contactright manforget that manbecause

23:56And I agree with you.You kind of like, you just hold your breath like,man, please, no soft tissue injury, no soft tissue.no soft tissue injuries please no groin no quas no hamstring no calves no adductors none of thatbecause like you said ocho you're going just like that yeah you've been cruising you've been cruisingand then all of a sudden you step on the gas out the blue and what normally happenssomething got to give yepMan, but hopefully they can come to an agreement real soon.
24:40The Philadelphia Eagles and the Kansas City Chiefscould make NFL and Super Bowl history this upcoming season.There have only been one instance in which two franchisesplayed each other three times in the Super Bowl,and that's the Dallas Cowboys, Pittsburgh Steelers, 75, 79, 95.After the Eagles face one another two or the three big games,the Chiefs are currently to have the highest oddsto be a matchup for Super Bowl, what is that, 60?
25:0460 in February of26. This would make the franchisesthe second of their kind to play one anotheron three separate occasions on the biggest stageto add no other quarterbacksin the history. No quarterbackshave ever faced each other three timesin the Super Bowl, something Jalen Hertz
25:22and Patrick Mahomes have a chance to do.I mean,it sounds good, but you want metell you coming out of theAFC this year? You got to worry about winning your division.You ain't coming out of nowhere.Have you noticed the Bengals have been playingin the preseason, right?
25:46Yep. Okay.All I know is whenL. Jack is on the field, Cincinnati can't win.I just want to remember.When L. Jack is on the field, Cincinnatican't win.This is the new year. You think aboutthe past. I'm trying to understand.
26:04And why are you thinking about the past?And this is 20, we in 2025, you're telling me what the Baltimore Ravens did in the past.History.I did what happened this year.The Cincinnati Bengals, for the first time in years, have let the starters play in the preseason.That's to let you know that there's going to be a difference come week one when the regular season starts.So what the Ravens did last year or any years before that don't mean nothing and don't matter when it comes to football.season in
26:352025.Okay.Yeah.Your defense still suspect.Team recordafter winning the MVPin 2016, here's we go.Cam won the MVP in 2015.
26:522016, they were 6 and 10.Matt Ryan wanted in 2016.They were 10 and 6 in 2017.Tom Brady won it in 2017.They were 11 and 5.Patrick Mahomes won it in 2018.they were 12 and 4.Lamar Jackson, in 2019, they were 11 and 5.
27:09Rogers went in back-to-back years.In 2020, they were 13 and 4, and in 2021, they were 8 and 9.Mahomes won it again in 2022, 11 and 6.Lamar Jackson, 23, they were 12 and 5.Josh Allen, 24,remained to be seen what their record will be.Right, right.Zach Wilson put together a solid start in Dolphin's second preseason game.
27:33He completed 15 or 23.passes, 151 yardsand a touchdown. He missed a coupleof would-be touchdowns. Deeppass to theEskridge that wasunderthrown. Rookie QuinnEwart improved on
27:48his debut, completing11 of 16 with a pair of touchdownto fellow rookie Theo Weitz, Jr.Hey, wait,who did you say had a greatdebut? What's the name again?The first name you said.Oh, Zach Wilson
28:04Completed 15 and 23.Yeah.Zach Wilson.Zach Wilson, that's my dog.That's my dog.Okay.You do realize if he plays for the dolphins,y'all probably,
28:17y'all are not going to the playoffs, right?We're going to be straight.We'll be there.We'll be there.But again, Zach Wilson looked good today.He did.Quinn Errors,based on how he looked last week.
28:29He was yours.He looked better this week.Yes, he did.That's what you want to see.Yes, you want to see improvement.Exactly, exactly.So I like it.I think dolphins, they're coming out of the AFCEs.
28:44What do you think about that?I think you drank a hunch punch.If you think they're beating Buffalo.That's what I think about that.I think you owe something.At your face, boy, that was funny.That's what I think.I think you owe something.
29:04Hold on.So you're not,whoa,wait a minute.I don't like the,I don't like the way you,you sound,whereas if you're trying to say
29:12the Dolphins don't have any chancein the AFC East.Look,they play football.Anything can happen.You ain't going to put no moneythat the Dolphins going to bethe NFC East representative
29:25going to win that division.So you're telling me,you've already given Buffalothe division already?And we don't know what's going to happen?Are you just saying that because they have...Take the team with the best quarterback.Okay.
29:41All right.I like where you're going.I'm taking the team with the best quarterback.I like where you're going.I'm taking Josh Allen over every other quarterback in that division.Tua.Oh, Justinville.You're taking Josh Allen over Drake, mate?
29:58Yeah.You sure?Yeah.Okay. I just want to see what you're going to say.Okay. Okay.Sure am.Okay.So when Drake May and he goddamn Stefan Diggs
30:12looked like Mark Dan Marino and Mark Dooper and Clayton,then what you're going to say?They still got to do something with Josh Allen.Okay.Be.All right.Tell somebody.Josh Allen.
30:33it is him.I wish I'll tell you something different.Hold on.Are you trying to say my quarterback is not him?You're trying to say two is not him?Can't stay healthy.Can't play in the cold.I don't like your attitude.
30:49I don't like your tone.They got to do it be.I don't.You better tell me to get used to playing in the cold.The funny thing, the fact that you have no confidence in us.I mean, that was.I got a confidence.I mean, y'all going to play the game.
31:02But I ain't put no money.I wouldn't put no money on y'all to win the division.I would not.Y'all probably got great odds, too.You wouldn't put money on the, on the dolphins, the dolphins.Nope.We had what?Okay.
31:21All right.The answer is no.Listen, I can't, I can't wait.I can't wait till football season.Me either.I can't wait for football season because we're going to have some nice little side bets.I'm going to pay this time.just like you did last time i'm going to make them small i'm going to make them small
31:41uh ashton gentie had seven carries for 33 yards at elcho his 13 yard run was part of an eightplay 41 yard score and drive that ended ended with him piring his win to the end zone forone yard touchdown after the game gentie said i've arrived and it's time to keep goingand make plays for this team i don't know if i've ever heardheard somebody say, I've arrived in the preseason,but I'm going to take his word for it. He ran withauthority today. I like the run he had.Punished the defender, lower the shoulder.
32:10I mean, he run with power. I mean, he's notan overly big guy.I mean, what's he? Five, eight, five, nine.But he's powerfully built. You lookat the way he's built from weights down.Yeah. You can tell he's a power,he's a power runner.Mm-hmm.
32:27But listen, hey, I sawI saw one of the clips,or somebodysomebody caught himI saw the onewe ran dude overbut on the other sidesomebody caught him good
32:38did itoh yeahI don't knowif that was a safetycoming downhere I don't knowwho it wasbut you
32:44might want to get wordto himyou got to pickand choose your battlesnowyeahhe's not beento run through
32:50you're not been to runthrough peoplelike you didat Boise in stateit's a preseasonhe doesn'the doesn't understandyet
32:57so you're gonnalearn real quickwhere it'sgrowing in at that way.Yeah.So, but I thought, you know, look, like Gino,Gino had great command of the offense.Gino is very, very familiar with Pete Carroll.
33:18That's a good thing.We got him.So it's going to be interesting to see how the Raiders do look.That division is good.Yeah, very good.Got Mahomes in that division.They won the division,probably like, what, the last eight years?
33:32They probably won the division every year since, what, 2016?Is it 2018?I thought it was.Yeah, you got to realize because they had Alex Smith, they won the division.Yeah.They won the division every year, Patrick Mahoney who's been the starting quarterback,and he started in 20-night, 2018.He got drafted in 17.
33:51The last time the Broncos won the division, they won the Super Bowl.That was 2015.Okay, that was the last.So since then, since 2016, the Chiefs has been in winning days.But you got Mahomes, you got Herbert, you got Bo Nix, and Gino.That's a, look, that might be the second best division in football as far asquarterbacks.I think the AFC, I think the AFC North.
34:18Whoa, whoa.With, with, with.Hello, NFC East.What do we talk about?Yeah, let's see.Hello, who's the NNC?Yeah.I think for me, it's clear that it's the AFC, it's the,
34:29the AFC North with, you know, you got two of the top four quarterbacks in one division.Right, right.Okay, Rogers and it, yeah, even with Cleveland, we didn't give it Cleveland nothing with those two,those two top four guys and Rogers.And then, you know, okay, I can see that, I can see that, the NFC, East with Russ,Jane Daniels, Jalen Hertz, Dak, but Mahomes, Justin Herbert.Bo Nix.Yeah.
35:01There ain't no slouch now.I like Bo too, man.I really, really like Bo.I like both.So if somebody said, if someone said I would take the AFC West quarterbacks, I wouldn't fight him.No.Because you got Mahomes.My home has been to five Super Bowls.
35:23You got Justin Herbert.You got a Boe Nix who's up and coming.now hurts is it hurts is one of the soup bowl he's been to twoRuss has been to two one one umbutDAC where we where we where we put in thatyou take DAC or you take Justin Herbertthat's a good one yeah
35:46that's a chat who y'all likeyou take DAC or you take Justin HerbertI meanhalf the chat going to say, they're going to say Justin Herbbecause they just don't like the damn cowboys.No, I thinkI, I, I,there ain't nothing.

40:06Cam became the first SEC player to record a 2,000-yard passing season,a 1,000-yard Russian season.He had 2,854 yards, 1473 yards Russian.He accounted for 51 touchdowns, 30 passing,20 Russian one receivingwhile helping Auburn go14 and 0 in winning the nationalchampionship against Oregon.
40:28Cam swept the major college footballawards. 2000, he wonthe Maxwell, Walter Camp, theManning, the Davy O'Brien,an AP player of the year, aswell as theHeisman Trophy. Oh, Joe, I justgot a simple question. Talk to me.
40:44Why won't Carolina show that man to lovethat Auburn is showing him?I'm not sure, huh? I'm not sure.Remember we did a topic was it last year that he took his sonand there were no pictures of him on the wall at the facility?Oh, that's right.He did.He did say that.
40:59I don't know.I don't know.That's something we would have to probably ask him that internally.I'm not sure how things.No, we have to.You can't ask Cam because Cam don't know why.We need to ask the organization.Yeah.
41:11Yeah.I ain't no telling.I ain't no telling how things ended with Cam.Even though we came back, it's no telling.You would never know.Especially for a quarterback of that magnitude that did the things that he did for the Carolina Panthers.Yeah, took him to the Super Bowl, one of the MVP, rookie of the year.Yeah.
41:31Pro bowler, all pro.But that's amazing.Congratulations, Cam.Very deserving.I can make a case that's the greatest college season for a quarterback.I know Joe had, I know Joe numbers.Right.But Joe ain't throwing out those numbers with the receivers that Cam had.
41:49he didn't do it that and I don't know I think he had one I don't think he had anoffensive lineman I mean did anybody play more than a year in the NFL on Cam's teamon the offense because I know he had a defensive lineman that went like I think top 10to the lions but if you look at his offensive weapons and what he was able to doyeah well Cam was a real deal back manwas crazy with it.Mm-hmm.I mean, off the chain.
42:25Yeah.I don't know who we'll never see.Lamar had an unbelievable season.I mean, the year he won the Heisman.Well, actually, the year that he finished,that he, the next year, he was even betterthan the year that he won the Heism.But if you go back and look at it.
42:41Yeah.Because he threw for like 3,500 yardsand had 1,500 yards rushing.That's crazy.But congratulations, Cam.University of Auburn, no one else will be able to wear the number two.Oh, Cho, Draft Kings been the NFL team of the best nicknames of all time.Who should be added?
43:06Okay, you got the Honey Badger, Tyron Matthew, you got Ted Hendricks, who is the Mad Stort,Sean Merriman, Lights Out, you got Hacksaw, Jack Reynolds,You got the Tasmanian devilYou got the assassinJack TatumYou got PrimeYou got EdTwo Tall Jones
43:26You got the fridgeWilliam PerryYou got the kitchenNate NewtonYou got the Minister of DefenseReggie WhiteRest your soulDick Knight Turrin Lane

43:49the intellectual assassinI don't know about himMegatronMegatron got a coolLegatronBeast modeBroadway JoeThe Face Cleaver
43:59And the AvatarI mean somebodyIs that Jimmy GrahamIs that Jimmy GrahamIs that Avatar?YesYesI mean listen
44:07All of theseNFL nicknames are goodThey're all goodBut we all knowWho the best nickname isOf all timeThey ain't got you up there on JoeOh, that's defense.
44:17I guess we got to ask them.No, they got offensive.They're an offensive.Yeah, Andre Ryzen.Yes.Bad moon.Yeah, they had nicknames, but I really embodied what it meant to have a nickname by actuallychanging my name and reinventing myself in the pride of my career.
44:33That's from a, that was from a branding, marketing aspect.So which makes it, obviously, the greatest nickname of all time because I really bought into the character in general.And that character in general has carried me years.beyond the game of football.Hell, I ain't took a snapping goddamn37 years.But these are all...
44:54I like the intellectual assession.Who is that?That played for the Chargers.Is that Ron Mix?The intellectual assassin.That's a good one.And you know, they don't even have...I mean, they don't have Walter Pay.
45:10They don't got sweetness on them.Mm-mm.the intellectual, buthey, listen, Ocho Cinco, I mean,it speaks for itself. The greatest nicknameof all time, because I actually, I was8.5, and when it changed the name,huh? I understand. I saw a vision.
45:28Like, when I do spoken word,there's a vision. There's a big long termwhere if you're not, if you're not in deepthought with me, you're notgoing to understand it.Who is the intellectual assassin?I ain't never heard of it.I mean, Bambi.
45:45Who was Bambi?Lance Allworth.When is what?The charges.Okay, okay, okay.Oh, he did.He ran, like he ran like, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.He was, Jack Tater was the assassin.
46:00Yeah.No, the intellectual assassin.The charges, he was the charges.John, uh, uh, uh, Jack Tate arrested.So he's out of Ohio State.I thought it was Ron Mix.I think he played, I think, Ocho, I think he played like 12 yearsand had two holding penalties in 12 years.
46:33That's it?Yeah, thank you.That's exactly what I said.Jetta, Justin Jefferson returns to practice.his first time in 25 days,he continues to recover from a left hamstring strain.He suffered last month.He has a history of hamstring injuries.
46:52He missed seven games in 2023 because of a hamstring stringto the other leg,prompt to the Vikings to take a slow approach to his recovery.Today, he participated in warm-ups, individual drills,but sat out seven-on-seven or 11-11.Jefferson won't play in the Vikings' final pre-season game,but do expect to start week one.Yeah.
47:12He got some imbalances or something.He needs to get that looked at.Yeah, yeah.What do you think it is, especially when it comes to soft tissue injuries like that on?What do you think that comes from?Because I don't think he has the injury history.Yeah, I don't, and he doesn't look like he quad-dominant.Sometimes if a muscle overpowers, it will pull.
47:29It will pull.So, you know, you quad-dominate sometimes or something.So he might, I mean, he might need to get his hips.He might be out of a line or something.Yeah, yeah.If he fatigued, the muscle, you know, weak muscles pull.right but I meanyou're dealing with elite athletes
47:50and so I know they have the best physioand the best everything aroundhe might you knowmaybe his mechanics are off or somethingbut he might need to take a look at thatheyI'm not going to say nothingI'm not going to say nothing
48:06obviously you know my stance when it comeson to soft tissue injurieswhen you know my stance on when it comesand getting hurtbut we know how valuableJustin Jefferson is to that teamand I'm glad he took 25 daysand they went slow with him
48:19I think he's a playerthat training camp would be beneficialbut to get him back 100% healthyso he's not one that need training camp like thatbut I don't want him having to gofrom zero to 100without having to wear and tearthat training can ring because what's going to happen
48:37you get to getting pulled and pushedthat tugthat's why I hate guys man don'ttug me. If I beat you, just let me go.Yeah. You took, I'm pulling Ocho and you tug me.Yeah.Now I'm going to turn right and swing on you.That's a tough division because we saw the bears and you and I both think the bears are
49:00going to be better this year than they were last year.Absolutely.You believe you say, hey, the lions, I don't see them taking a step back.No, I don't.Then the Packers.You like the Packers.Jordan Love, that receiving court, Josh Jacobs.So that is a very tough division.
49:22You can ill afford.Now, they're already going to be the first three games.They're going to be without Jordan Addison because of some issues that he had off the field.So they're going to be without him.And the last thing that you need to happen, a guy coming back from a soft tissue injury,and he retweaks it because now he's probably going to be down doubled amount of timethat he missed it again with.Exactly.
49:42Yeah, O'Bee is healthy.I hope he stays healthy because I want to see him on the field.Bless you.Thank you.The man, he covered in my mouth after he doesn't sneeze.Hachew!Excuse me.Like, damn.
50:00It creeped up on me.I didn't know what's coming.I ain't know what's coming.Oh.You know what coming, huh?Oh.He made a little Purell.What's that?
50:11Pure.Why are you using that?I'm all the way up when he.Why don't you get me sick?I'm going to get you sick.I'm all the way in Miami.Hey, boy, that thing you got right there that day said, you might have Ebola.I don't know.
50:28I ain't like, I don't know what they say.They died in Liberty City.Say, a monkey.Say a monkey got to skate.Yeah.Say the monkey had Ebola.Say one of them dudes from Liberty City bit the monkey.The monkey bit him.
50:40He had Ebola.And the monkey died.So if the monkey got Ebola, he beat the deal from Liberty City, what he got?Okay, you're right, you're right, you right.Ain't no telling.Ain't no telling.But I'm just trying to figure out how you sneeze and then cover your mind and say, excuse me.It snuck upon me.
50:57I didn't know it was coming.Like, that's what happened when you're really sick.You don't, you know, I feel like I got a fever.I thought you didn't get sick.How are you getting sick and you eat fast food?You ain't supposed to get sick, remember?I know.I'm probably going to be like this under one day.
51:09Matter of fact, you can hear my voice that sound like Barry White tonight.Did? Most of the time when I talk, I got a high, a high-pitched, squeaky voice.But tonight, I sound like really sexy, like for radio.No, I just try to figure out, you told me, chat, y'all didn't heard this man say eatinga big max and eating all that fast food. He don't get sick.I just try to figure out what's really going on. That's it.Well, technically, I'm not sick. I'm talking like, I'm still here.This is a minor setback.
51:40Are you sick? Did you not say you was sick? You just told us when you signed on that you was sick.Yeah. I'm good. So are you or are you not sick? Yes or no?Yes. At like halfway. Because if I was sick, I wouldn't be on here. So I'm able to do, I'm able to work. So I'm not sick, sick. So there's a difference.So if you work from home, if you work from home and sick and you can't work. Right.Something really going on. Yeah, yeah. I understand. But some people, some people, when they get sick, sick,even if they are home, they can't do nothing.They can't function.See, I'm fighting through it.
52:15I'm fighting through it.My body, on the inside, you know, my immune system,they're in there like this.Right.And they're going to work.So on the outside, I'm cold.But on the inside, I'm cold,but on the outside, I got the AC off.
52:30And I'm sweating, but on the inside, I got chills.I mean, it's weird.So this doesn't happen to me often at all.So I'm going to be all right, though.Man, and, Ocho, you know, I hate, I hate when guys, I'm a firm believing.If you limp in the season, Ocho, you know how you coming out of it.Limping out of it, baby.You limping out of it.
52:50I just hate that for gentlemen.Because, man, you're talking about off to a historic start?Absolutely.Oh, my gosh.I think it's going to continue, though.I think it's going to be all right.It's going to continue.I don't, I don't, like I said, that's an extremely,
53:10tough division.You could ill afford to have him and Addison out.Plus, you got Jay McCartney, who's in his second year, but this really is first yearstarting.Right.You're asking an awful lot.You're asking an awful lot of a young quarterback to go out there and to do what you needhim to do.
53:29Mm-hmm.What I just wanted to say, I just hope a Jeddah can stay healthy for the entire season.Yeah.They're going to need him.They got no chance.They got no chance.Remember KJ Osborne is in Washington.In Washington now, yeah.
53:45Addison is going to miss the first three, and then, you know, he warmed up the day,but like you said, he didn't do 707, he didn't do 11-on-11,and he's not going to play in the final preseason game, which is Friday or Saturday.Right.So, boy, and it's just a turn, A, and then in 10 days, just go.Yeah, yeah, yeah.I'm hoping he's going to be all right.Oh, come on. Why is this taking so long?
