• 1:41
  this man doesn't need an ovation.
• 1:44
  I give him a lot of elevation because this guy has been on our
• 1:47
  show quite a few times. We love him.
• 1:50
  He is a Jacksonville Jacksonville Jaguar linebacker,
• 1:54
  and he was ranked 10th in tackles this season.
• 1:58
  He's one of the best linebackers in the NFL today.
• 2:02
  Ladies and gentlemen, we are talking to Jacksonville Jaguars
• 2:05
  linebacker Foyer. Oh, Luiken, what is up my
• 2:10
  friend? How are you?
• 2:12
  I'm good. We're good, man.
• 2:14
  I mean, I got a chance to watch good football this year.
• 2:17
  You were sensational, man. You really were.
• 2:20
  Every single year, every time I watch you play, I'm like this
• 2:23
  guy looks like he's 20 years old and he continues to play at a
• 2:27
  top level. And I've never seen a guy that
• 2:30
  wants to hit somebody. Every time the quarterback hikes
• 2:33
  that ball. It is is pretty amazing.
• 2:35
  And every year you're a league, you're always on top of the
• 2:39
  league in tackles. What does it take to be an elite
• 2:42
  tackler like you are in the NF? Li say a lot of will, I'd say
• 2:47
  obviously got to get off blocks. So technique that way,
• 2:50
  physicality and kind of just strain in order to get the ball.
• 2:53
  A lot of downs aren't, you know, designed for for they have a
• 2:56
  blocker for you when you're in the middle like that.
• 2:58
  So really just able to diagnose the play, use your hands or
• 3:01
  whatever you get off a block and everybody finishing at the ball
• 3:05
  and then you know, the the extra strain and physicality and will
• 3:09
  bring the guy down. That's the kind of the finish of
• 3:11
  the play. So you're kind of getting a
• 3:13
  sweet spot as the game goes on where you just feel like you can
• 3:16
  do bring anybody down. So hopefully hit that sweet spot
• 3:19
  kind of early in the game and then you feel like you, you
• 3:21
  know, of course to be regular. I like the sweet spot, but with
• 3:24
  my woman, you know, that's that's my sweet spot.
• 3:27
  But you know, I know a little bit about that.
• 3:29
  I know a little bit about shaking and bacon, but that's a
• 3:32
  whole nother story. Ladies and gentlemen, we're not
• 3:34
  here to talk about any of that. We're going to talk some
• 3:36
  football with one of the best tacklers in the NFL.
• 3:39
  So Foyer, obviously you have a new coach and this guy has been
• 3:43
  fantastic offensively, sound really developed.
• 3:47
  I believe a guy like Lawrence who needed a little bit more
• 3:52
  time, he's had multiple coaches over the last past year.
• 3:56
  Doug Peterson is a very well known offensive coordinator.
• 3:59
  Didn't really work out with a guy like Doug Peterson, but you
• 4:02
  bring in Cohen and he has been sensational.
• 4:04
  In his first year, he took your team all the way to the
• 4:06
  playoffs. What was it like being coached
• 4:08
  by one of the more unique offensive minds in the NFL?
• 4:12
  You know, it was good it was early in the year.
• 4:16
  You know, I think we we stuck with that run game a little bit
• 4:18
  more. So you see us kind of sustaining
• 4:21
  drives early in the game and I was just, you know, whether we
• 4:24
  scored it in, I was happy we were moving the ball this year.
• 4:27
  So they will come to the sideline and I kind of
• 4:29
  understood quick like eventually these are going to turn into
• 4:31
  touchdowns if they weren't already touchdowns or three
• 4:35
  points, just the way they were able to move the ball on the
• 4:37
  ground. We're able to do that early in
• 4:39
  the year is going to open up the passing game for us.
• 4:41
  So just the way that we're moving the ball, I was excited
• 4:44
  they come back to the sideline like either they scored or
• 4:47
  didn't score. I was excited like we're not on
• 4:50
  the field the whole game. Then obviously just keep giving
• 4:53
  them the ball back. They're going to get a couple
• 4:54
  first. They're going to be in scoring
• 4:56
  position. So that's kind of how it
• 4:57
  started. Then you saw, you know from that
• 5:00
  the the puzzle pieces or the chess match that he was playing
• 5:04
  out there with all the pieces that he had and they saw it all
• 5:07
  get aligned and we go on that run and it was really just to
• 5:11
  dictate what they wanted to do out there.
• 5:12
  Obviously some games we started out maybe a little slower, but
• 5:15
  as soon as he got to to the fellows and sets that he wanted
• 5:19
  build it through formations and stuff like it was, it was fun to
• 5:23
  watch. And then Trevor obviously was
• 5:25
  been the benefit of all that beneficiary to all that.
• 5:28
  The way he was playing, the confidence that he gained to
• 5:30
  kind of go out there and do his own stuff, make his own checks
• 5:33
  really from times and kind of ball out there was cool to see.
• 5:38
  So one of the big things with you guys was the run defense
• 5:40
  this year, top five in the league and a lot of the teams
• 5:42
  that made the playoffs this year and went far in the.
• 5:44
  Playoffs. Were tough.
• 5:47
  Oh, you were number one. Yeah.
• 5:48
  And people keep saying the Patriots are #1 I guess they
• 5:50
  were lying to us. But.
• 5:52
  Number one top, top one right. Yeah.
• 5:54
  So I, I when we first had you on three years ago, there was a lot
• 5:58
  of emphasis on the on the, on the passing defense that spread
• 6:00
  offenses now. And you kind of saw it switch
• 6:01
  back with the Eagles winning the Super Bowl last year.
• 6:03
  And then you're seeing all. These like powerful.
• 6:04
  Run games this year, like do you think it's kind of transforming
• 6:07
  back to that maybe like maybe spread or more exotic running
• 6:10
  type teams and we run defenses like you guys like was that a
• 6:13
  big point in emphasis going in the season that maybe
• 6:15
  stylistically? Even with the Eagles game or
• 6:18
  even if you play like a team like the Chiefs who were kind of
• 6:21
  you think they're known for passing the ball, stopping to
• 6:23
  run is way to dictate the game. That way you can like have split
• 6:27
  their playbook in half. They feel like they can't get it
• 6:29
  to 2nd and short second, medium 2nd and yeah, 6 and less.
• 6:36
  Their playbook shrinks a lot. So they're stopping the run on
• 6:39
  early downs allows your pass rushers to really wreak havoc.
• 6:42
  Or you know, if there's I'm going to say scare.
• 6:45
  I mean, it looked like they were very scared of our pass rush the
• 6:47
  whole year. We got so many hurries, but they
• 6:49
  ended up throwing quick game in screens.
• 6:51
  A lot of the third downs where you know, a lot of guys get
• 6:53
  sacked. They didn't even want to hold
• 6:55
  the ball. Or if you like stand up 0
• 6:57
  pressure, look, they'll get rid of the ball or maybe bring in
• 6:59
  the match pro to try to Chuck one up.
• 7:01
  You stop the run getting ready to dictate what the offense does
• 7:04
  on on the defense. So that was that was big for it.
• 7:08
  We always had the pieces kind of just the details within it, you
• 7:11
  know, and everybody talks about doing your job, doing your 111,
• 7:13
  but really just trusting how you fit in that that gap piano
• 7:19
  skiing, you got to fit, you know, in the puzzle piece, you
• 7:21
  got to fit in the right place. But everybody doing that play
• 7:24
  in, play out, you know, big guys have to do first down boots,
• 7:28
  screens and stuff, try to get us off track instead of us playing
• 7:32
  on legal goal. We are talking to Jacksonville
• 7:34
  Jaguars linebacker Foyer Luiken. I, I love that Luiken.
• 7:41
  You know, I love it, man. By the way, I, I, I ordered your
• 7:47
  jersey. I, I, I bought a jersey
• 7:49
  recently. Now, a lot of guys on this show
• 7:52
  make a lot of jokes. I'm one of those jokester guys.
• 7:55
  I get jerseys just to make fun of people.
• 7:57
  And there's a guy on your team that was drafted.
• 8:01
  He was a Heisman Trophy winner. He was knocked out early in the
• 8:05
  season, 10 games into the season.
• 8:07
  I'm not a big fan of OK, I've I've met him at the Heisman
• 8:10
  dinner. I met him at the Heisman dinner.
• 8:13
  I he's, he's got a unique personality.
• 8:16
  There's no question that. He does.
• 8:18
  And he's very cocky, he's very confident.
• 8:21
  There's a lot about him that I might not know as far as the
• 8:25
  define perspective of who he is as a person.
• 8:29
  You worked with Travis, AKA the Gremlin Hunter.
• 8:33
  That's his nickname on this show.
• 8:34
  There he is right there. Just so you know, Mr. Gremlin
• 8:38
  himself. Now, I don't know if Travis
• 8:41
  knows that I created that. There it is.
• 8:43
  He's looking at it. I gave him the nickname and it's
• 8:45
  been really all over social media.
• 8:47
  If you look up Travis the Gremlin Hunter, that's me.
• 8:50
  I'm the one who gave him the nickname.
• 8:52
  And here's the thing, I think he could be a good player in this
• 8:56
  league. I don't think he should be a
• 8:58
  dual type of player. I don't.
• 9:00
  He's either going to be a corner or a wide receiver.
• 9:03
  Obviously, Cohen is going to have to figure out.
• 9:04
  The organization is going to have to figure out.
• 9:06
  I think he should be a corner. A lot of people thought he
• 9:09
  should be a wide receiver. Tell us a little bit about your
• 9:12
  connection with Travis the Gremlin Hunter, and what type of
• 9:16
  player is he? I see him on a lot of television
• 9:18
  commercials. He's all over the place.
• 9:21
  He likes dancing and prancing and doing all that other stuff.
• 9:24
  What type of person is he? Yeah, I was actually for
• 9:27
  fortunate to see him when he was still in high school when I was
• 9:30
  in Atlanta. I think he's from that Georgia
• 9:31
  area. Doing that over the year, a lot
• 9:34
  of people were training the same gym up in northern Atlanta.
• 9:38
  So I I seen him as like a highly touted recruit and they told him
• 9:43
  like he's always going to be Next up.
• 9:44
  He's going to be really good. So I saw him kind of younger.
• 9:47
  So when I see him now, obviously as the as the player he is and
• 9:51
  there's the all the hype around him and stuff, I still see him
• 9:53
  as that that kid in high school. I mean, he was quiet.
• 9:57
  He don't really say much. I think maybe, you know, you
• 10:00
  have this grumbling idea of him. I feel like everybody has a kind
• 10:04
  of persona that they like put on as a shell when you don't know
• 10:08
  him and when they're nervous, they're like, you come up to me.
• 10:10
  I never talked to you before. You might think I'm like stuck
• 10:12
  up just because I don't really say much.
• 10:14
  You know, I heard people think I was.
• 10:16
  I think I'm so smart as I just don't really know you.
• 10:18
  So I don't really know what to, I don't know how to approach
• 10:20
  you. Like when you break down those
• 10:22
  walls, I'm way more comfortable with a person and stuff like
• 10:25
  that. I'm a jokester and all that
• 10:26
  stuff. But if I don't like, I don't
• 10:28
  really have much to say to you. So maybe you know, you seeing
• 10:32
  him for the first time, like that's just how he is.
• 10:34
  That's what he's comfortable showing out to people that he
• 10:37
  don't eat in places he's not really comfortable because
• 10:39
  that's who he's had to be, to be honest.
• 10:41
  Like all these cameras are around him as a kid, as a
• 10:44
  brother. Yeah.
• 10:45
  High school and high school into college through the Heisman
• 10:48
  candidate. Like all these cameras around
• 10:50
  him and they're expecting him to be a certain type of way.
• 10:53
  Like all these commercials, like they're expecting him to be
• 10:55
  this, this athlete. And everybody puts these
• 10:58
  athletes up on pedestals. Like he's not allowed to be his
• 11:01
  goofy kind of, I wouldn't call him a nerd of source, but you
• 11:05
  know, he's on twist and all that.
• 11:06
  Like he's not allowed to be who he is when he's comfortable.
• 11:09
  And I'm sure many people know him, you know, as that as that
• 11:11
  person when he's comfortable. So I'm sure you get to know him
• 11:14
  more. And then I got to know him more
• 11:16
  and see him more. You know, when he first got
• 11:18
  there, like, yeah, he was quiet and maybe people could have said
• 11:22
  he was, you know, full of himself.
• 11:24
  I'm looking at him like now he said, you know, you're not going
• 11:26
  to call himself nervous, but everybody's going to be nervous
• 11:28
  to perform and live up to expectations and hype.
• 11:30
  So I can see right through that. I'm not going to say he was
• 11:33
  nervous though, but like he wants to do well for the team
• 11:36
  when he wants to prove it to himself and all that stuff.
• 11:38
  So a lot of it kind of just self talk just to make sure that you
• 11:42
  know, he knows he's the player that he always wanted to be.
• 11:45
  And obviously as a rookie, we have a lot of things that you
• 11:48
  realize you don't know or realize you have to learn and
• 11:51
  grow through. And obviously he was doing that
• 11:54
  and you know, and, and learning at 2 positions at once.
• 11:57
  Like it, it's a lot on you. And he got hurt too.
• 12:00
  So that's something that he had never really been a part of,
• 12:03
  like a big injury. So you know, you stick around
• 12:06
  them and you get close with those walls come down.
• 12:08
  So I'm kind of seeing that right now when I go into the facility
• 12:11
  and see them, they're training and stuff.
• 12:13
  Like we're talking a lot more. So feel like you're going to see
• 12:17
  him become more of himself as these years go on, as he really
• 12:21
  becomes a player he wants to become.
• 12:22
  Now, Travis Etienne is a guy that I really liked.
• 12:26
  I've watched him grow as a player for Clemson and a lot of
• 12:30
  people thought he wasn't going to be a part of this roster.
• 12:33
  Early in OTAs, they were two other running backs on your
• 12:37
  roster. Some people thought that Travis
• 12:39
  Etienne was really the number 2 and then kind of fell in a lot
• 12:44
  of people's eyes and then all of a sudden he had a pretty good
• 12:47
  OTA. He looked good in a pre season
• 12:49
  and eventually won the job back And he again, a guy that I
• 12:53
  didn't draft this year in fantasy.
• 12:55
  And there's a reason why I draft him every single year because I
• 12:58
  love the guy. And then he doesn't, you know,
• 13:02
  he doesn't fit in expectations the way I think he should in
• 13:05
  fantasy sports. So I didn't draft him this year
• 13:08
  and I made a mistake because he was one of the more elusive
• 13:11
  running backs in the NFL. What do you think he changed
• 13:14
  this year as far as health wise and obviously on a football
• 13:18
  field that's made him the elite running back that he became
• 13:21
  again this year? Yes, that's my guy.
• 13:23
  That's one of my best friends on the team, Travis.
• 13:25
  So obviously started when we have to go against each other
• 13:29
  and training camps and stuff, but I just know I just saw the
• 13:33
  talent that he had and I called them my first got there Marshall
• 13:37
  fault because, you know, I thought similarities and he can
• 13:41
  catch up the backfield. He's good up with the grind.
• 13:43
  But then like he's kind of saying like his body don't
• 13:46
  really look like an NFL running back, but he's so explosive and
• 13:50
  fast and stuff. But he just didn't necessarily
• 13:52
  like if you look at him kind of looks a little not NFL running
• 13:55
  back He but you know, he got all the traits.
• 13:57
  So I kind of after our bad year, everybody kind of wanted to be
• 14:01
  better after that, whatever we're 4 and 13 a year and I told
• 14:05
  them what the business of the game was.
• 14:07
  I said, you know, a lot of people are talking bad about you
• 14:09
  and really us, everybody on the team right now, we're going to
• 14:12
  have new GM, new coaches and stuff that come in and it's
• 14:15
  going to be the contract year essentially.
• 14:16
  So you know, you don't have to give you a gift, you an
• 14:20
  opportunity to go out there and you're going to start from
• 14:23
  square zero. People are going to come in and
• 14:26
  have their ideas and maybe they might bring somebody else in
• 14:29
  that they like, you know, that that's going to be their guy,
• 14:32
  their pick, their free agency, whatever.
• 14:35
  But at the end of the day, like once you get an opportunity, you
• 14:37
  got to re prove it to because now you're not dealing with
• 14:41
  people who drafted you. You got to come in and re prove
• 14:43
  it. When you belong in the field,
• 14:45
  then you're going to come in and re prove that you deserve some
• 14:48
  fucking money. So I drafted him to my lift OTA
• 14:51
  lift team. And you know, I just saw him get
• 14:54
  more and more serious about everything and he what time he
• 14:58
  came in in the morning, What time like you didn't miss OTA
• 15:01
  lifting, just the way he's preparing for the game.
• 15:03
  We're talking about running styles, like where to hit the
• 15:06
  hole when it cut back, like in this mid zone scheme.
• 15:08
  I'm like, I'm seeing this back. You should watch this back does
• 15:11
  it well. And I was implementing that.
• 15:13
  You know, I'm able to challenge him.
• 15:14
  Like let's say he gets tackled by a fucking shoot, like while
• 15:18
  they fucking pick up his feet. Like that's my thoughts.
• 15:20
  Like I wanted him to get everything that he deserves.
• 15:22
  So I'm not going to say I'm easy for it, but I just know that he
• 15:24
  had definitely had a a mindset change and met him, you know,
• 15:29
  talking to me, always challenging me, telling me was
• 15:33
  pissed at me earlier in the year.
• 15:34
  I had a little couple little things went wrong with me that
• 15:37
  was kind of affecting my play. But he I'm disappointed you
• 15:40
  missed that tackle and this and that.
• 15:41
  I'm like, shit, you're right. Like stop feeling sorry for
• 15:43
  myself. Let's get better.
• 15:45
  And then, you know, we, we played well this year.
• 15:47
  And then obviously he's going to get whatever he deserves.
• 15:49
  But Jennifer, where he was or what the perception was of him
• 15:53
  two years ago to now, like I want to say it's complete 180,
• 15:57
  but he did what he's supposed to do in the back before.
• 16:00
  So to talk about something like the guys in the front 7,
• 16:01
  obviously Josh Allen got got got his money, one of the most
• 16:05
  underrated pass rushers, Trayvon Walker, I think made an impact
• 16:08
  kind of trying to prove himself at the end of his rookie
• 16:11
  contract after being the number one pick.
• 16:12
  And then Devin Lloyd was probably the best one on the
• 16:13
  team on second team All Pro. So talk about some of the
• 16:16
  improvements that those guys made this year.
• 16:18
  Yeah, everybody kind of, you know, we all had a bad year the
• 16:20
  year before and really people that we, we started off maybe
• 16:25
  four on one. We won a skid where we won like
• 16:27
  3 or 4. We lost 3 or 4 or something like
• 16:30
  that. Yeah, we had to because we won
• 16:31
  the rest after that. Yeah.
• 16:39
  I mean, we had a lot of doubt hers, you know, obviously Devin
• 16:41
  started off hot. So Devin would, you know, he was
• 16:45
  really trusting the scheme and he was going through things kind
• 16:48
  of similar to Travis to where, you know, new guys came in and
• 16:51
  new coaches. Happy to prove yourself contract
• 16:54
  year, just stay the course. And he, you know, he's very
• 16:56
  religious and all the blessings came to him that he'd been
• 17:00
  praying for and working for. So I was very proud to see that.
• 17:03
  But he really just, you know, didn't go outside of himself,
• 17:06
  stuck within the game plan and really just executed and
• 17:08
  dominated his his role. And then obviously he was able
• 17:11
  to make plays off of that and just trust himself and his
• 17:14
  athleticism and he's the best in the league.
• 17:16
  So that was just so cool to see He got guys like Josh and
• 17:20
  Trayvon. We really just, you know,
• 17:22
  Trayvon kind of a similar situation, like he's trying to
• 17:24
  go out there and get what he deserves.
• 17:27
  He went through a little injury with his race and stuff was kind
• 17:29
  of sidelined him, but his gameplay did not switch up at
• 17:32
  all. Like the way that he played the
• 17:34
  game. So physically can really help
• 17:36
  us. And so they didn't get as many
• 17:37
  sacks of pressures that they got.
• 17:38
  Like what I was saying where we got these two guys on the edge
• 17:41
  where they're scared to get to 3rd and lost because of our of
• 17:44
  our pass rushing, our athleticism.
• 17:45
  They're just throwing screens and quit getting screaming boots
• 17:49
  like trying to get there. They're trying to get that facet
• 17:52
  of our defense out of the way because you can't really like
• 17:55
  they're sealing the edge on boots.
• 17:56
  Like that's the only way they can really push the ball down
• 17:58
  the field on this trying to get match protection and get the
• 18:01
  pass rushers like double block, double blocked and stuff.
• 18:04
  So he definitely like there's a game record.
• 18:07
  I want the stats to match it for both of them, Josh and Trayvon.
• 18:11
  But what they were doing for our team, you know, you can't really
• 18:14
  put a put words to it. And then similarly, like with
• 18:17
  the guy inside Devon Hamilton, you know, he was so important to
• 18:20
  our running game too. Like when he's in there all the
• 18:22
  way that he was playing. So everybody just played well,
• 18:26
  but they're just owning their roles and then playing for each
• 18:28
  other. So it's cool to see.
• 18:29
  We are talking to Jacksonville Jaguars elite linebacker Foyer
• 18:33
  Lewikin. You know Foyer, there's a guy on
• 18:35
  your team, Brian Thomas junior. I I think this guy as is as
• 18:40
  elite of a wide receiver in the NFLII really do believe this guy
• 18:45
  could be a top three wide receiver in an all of football
• 18:49
  this year. I don't know what happened.
• 18:51
  I don't know if he was hurt, he was unhealthy, but he wasn't the
• 18:54
  same player he was in his freshman year.
• 18:57
  He wasn't and I think this guy is so explosive.
• 19:00
  He has a tremendous amount of ability.
• 19:02
  He's so long. I watched him in the Pro Bowl.
• 19:05
  I know it's flag football, but the one hand catches the, the
• 19:08
  unbelievable ability technique wise on using his body and his
• 19:13
  strength to getting that ball. It it's it's absolutely amazing
• 19:16
  there. There might be 3 wide receivers
• 19:18
  in the league that has the speed, the length and the
• 19:23
  ability to do this. The things that he does on a
• 19:25
  football field. What type of player is Brian
• 19:28
  Thomas Junior and do you think this year was because of injury
• 19:33
  or something that was going on? It was affecting him on not
• 19:37
  having the season that he had in his first year.
• 19:39
  Yeah, I'm not, I'm not really in his head or nothing like that.
• 19:42
  So I can't really say where he was like mentally and stuff, but
• 19:45
  we all go through injuries or things that's nagging us
• 19:48
  throughout the year now. I'm excited to see what he comes
• 19:50
  back and does the next year. But obviously, like coming from
• 19:53
  his rookie year to to 2nd year, a lot of things like you just
• 19:57
  learn what you need to work on. Like you think people sometimes
• 20:00
  when you have success early, sometimes people see you and
• 20:02
  they're going to force you to maybe prove what you what you,
• 20:05
  which we haven't shown yet or going to keep putting you in
• 20:07
  positions where you're not excelling.
• 20:09
  Like they're going to like he was a very good, let's say beat
• 20:12
  ball because we're going to definitely try to take away that
• 20:14
  beat ball. They're going to fight him and
• 20:16
  do something else on the football field and see if he can
• 20:18
  excel at that as well. But whatever happened on early
• 20:20
  on, I think as the year went and it's a new scheme.
• 20:22
  So he has to understand how to run those routes and timing is
• 20:25
  always important. And stuff as the year went on,
• 20:27
  he started playing better. So I wasn't really concerned
• 20:29
  with it. What they call it like a
• 20:30
  sophomore slump. Whatever happened early in the
• 20:32
  year, like he just put it put it as something to look at and it
• 20:36
  motivates you to grow from or from because you know, now he
• 20:39
  has a role in the offense to where you have to stop so many
• 20:43
  people that when he does get his opportunities, they're going to
• 20:46
  be there for him. He's going to get his one on
• 20:47
  ones or whatever design plays like there.
• 20:50
  It's going to be sometimes like we need him to go make a play.
• 20:53
  But when those when those opportunities come, I know going
• 20:56
  into this third year, you know, fixing up the stuff that he was
• 20:58
  kind of battling through the 2nd year, you know, with a fresh,
• 21:03
  you know, new slate, fresh feet, you know, I got a lot of.
• 21:10
  Everybody that listens to the show knows I just love him.
• 21:13
  I I love him. I think he's that great of a
• 21:15
  player. I think I watched him in LSU.
• 21:17
  I said this guy is going to be a beast.
• 21:19
  I think he's the best wide receiver in this class.
• 21:22
  When we were talking about a Doonese and all those other
• 21:25
  guys, everybody forgot about this guy.
• 21:27
  He, there were three other guys in front of him and they were
• 21:29
  like, well, he's good and I think he's more than good.
• 21:33
  This guy is going to be explosive.
• 21:35
  His freshman year was as good as anybody's.
• 21:37
  And I said he's better than a Dunes and he's better than this
• 21:40
  guy. He's better than that guy.
• 21:41
  And I still think he's an elite player and he's going to get a
• 21:43
  chance. But you guys made it to the
• 21:45
  playoffs and it was an amazing season and you were matched up
• 21:49
  against the Buffalo Bills. And I always watch it for you
• 21:52
  because I, I, I'm a big fan of yours because you've been on our
• 21:56
  show. So I, I'm always rooting you on.
• 21:58
  I want you to do so well. And I watch Josh Allen play and
• 22:03
  this guy has a heart that I've never seen a player have.
• 22:08
  I mean, this guy will go out there, put his body on the line
• 22:11
  for his teammates, put his heart on the line when it comes to
• 22:15
  losing games and and going up there talking to the media and
• 22:18
  and then breaking down and crying.
• 22:20
  I think he's a, he's a great person to just fall in love with
• 22:24
  as a personality. But when he's on a football
• 22:26
  field, he's almost impossible to tackle.
• 22:28
  He's huge. And I, I watched you in the
• 22:31
  playoff game, you were all over the place and you were hating
• 22:35
  him. And this guy was just bouncing
• 22:37
  off of everybody was like a ping pong ball and you were the
• 22:40
  racket. What type of player is Josh
• 22:42
  Allen? Why is he so hard to tackle?
• 22:45
  He's a big, you kind of look out of tight end body, I'd say.
• 22:48
  You got a tight end body, but he still runs fast.
• 22:50
  And then obviously with the the way the quarterbacks protected,
• 22:54
  you got you can't approach him like a damn tight end.
• 22:56
  So a lot of times he's pump faking and stuff and he's
• 22:59
  approaching the lines pretty much pump faking looking
• 23:01
  downfield. And you know, you can't, you
• 23:03
  know, tackle in the normal way, which you're told to tackle in
• 23:05
  the normal way, but it's, you know, the balls in your face
• 23:08
  when he had the ball like this. Yeah, it kind of makes you look
• 23:10
  when you're distracted by the ball.
• 23:12
  And obviously you can run through on tackles, which most
• 23:15
  quarterbacks don't. I'd say they're half sliding.
• 23:17
  He's not sliding at all. He's going to run through all
• 23:19
  that. And then yeah, he understands
• 23:21
  when you're in ample, he can see the MP.
• 23:23
  He can kind of make a drop back look like a draw just because he
• 23:27
  decides all he's kind of towards the red zone is my time shines
• 23:30
  going to run through arm tackles, get those 6-7 yards
• 23:33
  that way, which kind of break it open.
• 23:34
  Like I feel like in our game, there's a couple boots or
• 23:37
  keepers he kept, but it was most of them, them quarterbacks
• 23:39
  sneaks towards the end of the game, which he runs it
• 23:42
  differently that they call it touch push, not really touch
• 23:44
  push. They just run that sneak with
• 23:45
  the tight end kind of pushing them from behind, but they ran
• 23:48
  it differently. But Philly were like failing,
• 23:50
  trying to get low and he just stands up and then because you
• 23:53
  can't bring them down, you know, one-on-one trying to step, stand
• 23:56
  up. Then everybody gets behind him,
• 23:58
  he's lifted in the air and they just keep pushing them forward.
• 24:00
  So what they had going there with definitely a new that was
• 24:04
  an interesting little wrinkle to the push push that's really
• 24:07
  sneak. But he just knows his body going
• 24:09
  to stay up and they're going. It was crazy.
• 24:12
  Who? Props to him.
• 24:14
  I got a question for you, who do you think would win in a Twister
• 24:16
  contest, you or him? What's Twister?
• 24:21
  You never played Twister. Yeah, you spin and there's like
• 24:24
  colors and you like you put your body on a.
• 24:26
  Lot Why am I playing Twister with him?
• 24:30
  What are we doing? You got a life or so much you
• 24:33
  know. He's married, he has a he has a
• 24:38
  kid on the way. That's.
• 24:47
  Pretty funny actually. Why am I playing Twisted with
• 24:50
  him? I'll just shift to.
• 24:53
  Another quarterback. That you used to play with in
• 24:55
  Matt Ryan, who actually got a front office position with the
• 24:57
  Atlanta Falcons recently, they actually invented a new football
• 25:00
  operations position just especially for him I.
• 25:03
  Wonder why? So was there any inklings when
• 25:05
  you when you knew him, when he was when he was with Atlanta
• 25:07
  that you would think he would get a head coach, get a
• 25:10
  executive position like this? And, like, what do you think is
• 25:12
  the mindset for the Atlanta Falcons moving forward with the
• 25:15
  new head coach and chemist Stefanski, and kind of a shift
• 25:17
  in change that they're making? I think the fans, I think the
• 25:21
  run game that he had, I don't really know much about him.
• 25:25
  I know he went to Penn or something like that.
• 25:26
  Like I met him at the Ivy League dinner.
• 25:28
  I think we were saying that like the run game that he likes or
• 25:33
  Atlanta's line and Dijon are very well suited for that.
• 25:37
  Yeah. I think Atlanta, I mean, just
• 25:39
  being there, they always, they want to get more physical up
• 25:42
  there. That's the way to establish the
• 25:43
  run game and nominate the NFC South.
• 25:45
  You could be the most physical team in the NFC South, control
• 25:48
  the time of possession, you probably go and win post those
• 25:51
  games that that vision just dating back from when I was
• 25:54
  there, I think the Saints at the time was winning it.
• 25:56
  And then obviously when Brady came, obviously he was winning
• 25:58
  it. But those are teams that did
• 26:00
  have a run game while while they were on top.
• 26:03
  So I think Matt Ryan that pictured him, I don't think he's
• 26:07
  going to be a coach per SE, but I could definitely see him being
• 26:10
  a personnel handler like this team builder in Atlanta, just
• 26:16
  because, you know, great leader and then a great evaluator of
• 26:21
  men as a person and stuff. So obviously you got to look at
• 26:25
  the talent, but in order to build a team, you got to have
• 26:27
  the right people in the building.
• 26:28
  So I think them hiring him is to do that, to evaluate the coaches
• 26:34
  that are coming evaluate. I think he just hired the GM
• 26:36
  actually. He just seen so many people in
• 26:39
  the NFL. He knows what teams look like
• 26:40
  when they're good and runs the teams when they're good.
• 26:44
  Sure, they trust his opinion on who they have building.
• 26:48
  For you, you're one of the best tacklers in the league, and we
• 26:50
  said that over and over and over again.
• 26:51
  So far in this interview. You are as good as anybody in
• 26:55
  the NFL. And we talked about technique.
• 26:57
  So everybody wants to know, and I'm sure a lot of football fans
• 27:01
  out there want to know, you faced all the top quarterbacks
• 27:05
  in the NFL. Who is the hardest to takedown 1
• 27:09
  and who is the best quarterback so far in your career in the NFL
• 27:13
  you've played against? Who's the hardest to takedown?
• 27:15
  Yes, Lamar Jackson, probably gonna be the hardest to takedown
• 27:18
  if you can touch him. I like the quarterbacks you
• 27:20
  tried like that's Herbie tried to run me over this year.
• 27:22
  I don't know what he was doing. Like that's a big tackle for
• 27:25
  him. Obviously we talked about Josh
• 27:26
  Allen he can run away from, but similar like if he tries to
• 27:30
  lower his shoulder on him. Not really too concerned about
• 27:33
  that. But Lamar, just elusive,
• 27:34
  especially when he decides that he's, you know, going to run so
• 27:38
  fast and then he's elusive like that.
• 27:41
  That's good. And my home, man, I don't know
• 27:42
  how big he is. Whatever.
• 27:44
  He's probably 30 lbs more than what the Sky report said.
• 27:47
  That's a big boy right there. He's a hell of a competitor to
• 27:50
  like, he'll lower his shoulder on you last second.
• 27:52
  He'll run through some stuff. He'll stay up.
• 27:55
  He kind of end up there like Roethlisberger.
• 27:58
  Roethlisberger's still athletic. Like he's staying up through
• 28:00
  hits and making throws and stuff.
• 28:02
  Like he's a big guy, bigger than people think.
• 28:06
  So yeah, he's pretty hard to take down, actually.
• 28:10
  And Trevor Lawrence was pretty hard to take down for Chris
• 28:12
  Jones when you guys won that thriller on Monday nights.
• 28:14
  Oh yeah, thank God. Well, who?
• 28:17
  But who's the best quarterback in the NFL?
• 28:19
  Who do you think is the? Mahomes to the best.
• 28:22
  You think? Mahomes a hell of a competitor
• 28:24
  too. Like the way he put like he
• 28:26
  plays to win the game. Obviously they didn't have their
• 28:28
  best year this year, but what he's able to do back there and
• 28:32
  willing his team to to wins and stuff.
• 28:35
  I don't think he turned. I don't I didn't watch him that
• 28:37
  much. I don't think he turned the ball
• 28:38
  up over like he's have crazy turnovers, though, just doing
• 28:42
  crazy self a little bit too much.
• 28:44
  Maybe he did a little less this year knowing that his team
• 28:47
  probably needed the ball a lot more this year.
• 28:50
  I don't know the stats on it, but just seemed like he was
• 28:52
  taking care of the ball a little bit more well, really well.
• 28:55
  Stafford still good. This this.
• 28:58
  That's a good ass. MVP.
• 28:59
  MVP. He's the best quarterback.
• 29:02
  They lost three times to the Seahawks, but he's the best
• 29:04
  quarterback. So he so Foyer has Matthew
• 29:08
  Stafford winning the MVP this year.
• 29:11
  Very interesting. Very, very.
• 29:12
  Interesting. I'd say that I said he's the
• 29:14
  best quarterback. Usually the best quarterback
• 29:18
  wins the MVP. Come on, Foyer.
• 29:19
  Foyer's petition. They're trying to give it the
• 29:23
  Drake man of the way. He didn't.
• 29:26
  Oh please. First of all, I don't know if
• 29:29
  you know this. The boy went 10 for 21.
• 29:31
  Yeah, but. But here is the facts foyer.
• 29:36
  I'm going to tell you this. Do you know that Drake May had
• 29:38
  the 5th easiest schedule in NFL history?
• 29:41
  Did you know that? I'm I'm saying I'm not saying
• 29:45
  who deserves and doesn't deserve an MVP.
• 29:47
  I just man, Stafford went crazy. Yeah, it did.
• 29:50
  I love Matthew Stafford. I always did.
• 29:52
  And he's the MVP in my eyes. Go ahead, Speedy.
• 29:55
  No, I was saying for you, I think it's petitioning for the
• 29:58
  MVP to not become a quarterback award all the time.
• 30:00
  You know what? Hey.
• 30:01
  Yeah. Take quarterbacks less, please.
• 30:07
  Hey, listen, if you could throw, maybe you could be the
• 30:09
  quarterback, you could be a dull.
• 30:11
  Fan No, it's it's hard. That's that's too hard.
• 30:14
  But all right, so you. Got.
• 30:16
  San Francisco Super Bowl 60, Drake May and the Patriots
• 30:22
  versus the one and only Sam Darnold.
• 30:25
  Yes, Jet fans, Sam Darnold in the Seahawks.
• 30:29
  Who do you got and why? I got a lot of friends on the
• 30:33
  obviously on both teams. I just never rooted for a Boston
• 30:37
  team to do anything since Rondo left, even though I got a lot of
• 30:40
  good friends with the Patriots. I hope they all do very well,
• 30:43
  but I can't. I'm not rooting for any team
• 30:44
  just because I can't really root for the painters.
• 30:47
  Don't like the Boston fans, but I'm rooting for all of them like
• 30:50
  a big win. I'm so happy for them.
• 30:52
  I love him more every You see this.
• 30:54
  This is why I love this guy. I love it.
• 30:56
  He can't stand the Boston fans. I can't stand the Boston fans.
• 31:00
  Yeah, Jeff, you hear it? I can't stand the Boston fans.
• 31:05
  No, he's a Rebirth chess fan now.
• 31:06
  They're nasty. They don't know how to respect
• 31:08
  people. And I like that you're a Rondo
• 31:10
  fan because I've always loved Rondo.
• 31:13
  I couldn't stand him on the Celtics, but I've always liked
• 31:16
  Rajon Rondo so. And.
• 31:19
  And he was a great first of all, he can rebound, he could score,
• 31:24
  he can assist. He was a great defender.
• 31:26
  I, I think people, Rajon doesn't get enough credit because he
• 31:30
  played with, I don't know, Kevin Garnett, Paul Pierce, Ray Allen,
• 31:34
  nobody, nobody gives this. Girl's favorite coach Doc
• 31:36
  Rivers. Can't stand Doc, can't stand
• 31:39
  him. Yeah, they won a championship
• 31:41
  with Doc Rivers. Well, first, hold on, hold on,
• 31:43
  hold on, hold on. Who's calling the plays?
• 31:46
  Tom Thibodeau? Let's let's not hide behind the
• 31:49
  truth here. We all know Doc doesn't know how
• 31:52
  to call any plays. I'm not hurting.
• 31:55
  I'm not hurting anybody. Nobody's feelings.
• 31:57
  Doc Rivers is screwing up Milwaukee right now, and that's
• 32:00
  why Giannis wants out. I'm just helping you here, man.
• 32:03
  I know you're a basketball fan. We could go on and on and on
• 32:06
  about basketball, but we're not. We're talking a little football.
• 32:09
  So. So who you got?
• 32:10
  You got Seattle. If I was, if I was to bet
• 32:14
  somebody else's money, I bet Seattle.
• 32:16
  But I'm kind of pulling for the Patriots to do well.
• 32:20
  I know you, I know you have two, definitely two former teammates
• 32:23
  with the Patriots, with Mumma and Chase on any on Seattle.
• 32:27
  Enough. I have former teammates on
• 32:29
  Seattle. I don't really know everybody's
• 32:31
  at I trained with the guy. They're one of their backup
• 32:34
  safeties. Like he's playing more Ty Okada.
• 32:37
  OK. So I played, I've trained with
• 32:39
  him for the past five years, I feel like.
• 32:41
  And then Jalen Hawkins I played with in Atlanta, Easter safety
• 32:45
  for Patriots. They got the Ernest Johnson up
• 32:50
  there too. He was a backup running back for
• 32:52
  us here. One more person up there.
• 32:59
  They got a lot of, they got some, they got some guys that
• 33:01
  play with stuff. So I'm rooting for.
• 33:03
  I'm hoping they do well, but. For Yeah, I got a question I got
• 33:06
  to ask you. I got to ask you a question.
• 33:08
  Has anybody told you that you look like havoc for Mob Deep?
• 33:13
  Nah, ain't nobody. Nah, I never heard that.
• 33:17
  Do me a favor, when you get a chance, when you get off with
• 33:19
  me, go look at Havoc from Mobb Deep.
• 33:22
  You look. Exactly.
• 33:23
  Like him. You're identical.
• 33:26
  Yeah, because I've, I've done some work.
• 33:28
  I I'm a I'm a DJ. So I've been around them.
• 33:31
  I've been around Mobb Deep a couple of times.
• 33:33
  Prodigy may rest in peace. I I've, I've known the Mobb Deep
• 33:38
  for a long time. There he is.
• 33:40
  There he is, right there. Come on man, that's him.
• 33:44
  Low key, huh? Nick was like Roquan Smith,
• 33:46
  right? All that.
• 33:51
  I like Roquan. He actually, he lost a little
• 33:54
  bit more weight, but I mean he. Was a little bit he fresh he he
• 33:59
  young face for sure. Come on, you never heard of
• 34:01
  Shukwans? Come on, man.
• 34:02
  You know the track. But man, what are you?
• 34:05
  What are you going to be doing in the offseason?
• 34:07
  You're going to hang out with the fam, go, you know, go, you
• 34:10

• 34:14

• 34:15
  I bounce around. I've I've been to New York, went
• 34:19
  down to Orlando last weekend, saw some Disney stuff.
• 34:23
  I see my I'm going to see my family soon for a little while,
• 34:26
  my mom and dad and brother running some errands in Saint
• 34:30
  Louis and yeah, kind of bounce around between here and or there
• 34:34
  in Florida for the offseason. I hate Florida.
• 34:38
  Did you know it's going to It's going to be snowing in Florida,
• 34:41
  in Orlando? Did you know that it's going to
• 34:43
  be snowing? In Florida, yeah, that's crazy.
• 34:46
  Yeah, I'm missing it. Already snowed in Saint Louis?
• 34:50
  I like Saint Louis by the way, I love, I love all that like the
• 34:54
  steaks and the ribs that they have over there there.
• 34:57
  It is so good over there and I love BBQ.
• 34:59
  So Dallas is a good place to have BBQ.
• 35:02
  Saint Louis is another good place.
• 35:04
  Georgia is also a nice good place to get some BBQ.
• 35:07
  So I like it. I really do.
• 35:09
  And as a you know, I travelled around the the country, so I
• 35:12
  absolutely enjoy it. But anyways, man, we love you
• 35:15
  man, and I I'm rooting for you. I always root for you and I I
• 35:18
  think you're a great guy. I think everything that you do
• 35:20
  for not only for the NFL, for some of the kids and and and
• 35:24
  really the the way you developed into the player that you become
• 35:27
  is it's pretty amazing. And I'd love to get you on
• 35:30
  before the season starts so we can talk about the season and
• 35:33
  see where you see the Jaguars in going into two thousand 2627.
• 35:38
  So congratulations on a great, successful season.
• 35:42
  And we'll have Jabba on next time because Jabba's flying to
• 35:45
  New York because he's working with Barstool and he's been
• 35:48
  busy. He's he's a very busy man, but
• 35:52
  he'll be on next time. But we love you.
• 35:53
  Keep up the good work and we'll talk to you soon.
• 35:55
  Appreciate you have a good rest of your night.
• 35:57
  You too, my friend. Foye.
• 35:59
  A fantastic personality, one of the best.
• 36:03
  One of my favorite guys on the show.
• 36:04
  Always comes on the show and always gives us good takes.
• 36:08
  Very clear with his words. Doesn't really beat around the
• 36:12
  Bush. He'll tell you how it is.
• 36:14
  He doesn't hold back anything And and like I said,
• 36:18
  personality. That's why this guy is one of
• 36:21
  the best tacklers in his league. This is why everybody, I, you
• 36:25
  ask anybody in the NFL, it, it will give you your top ten sack
• 36:30
  guys, tackle guys. Foyer is always amongst the
• 36:33
  league's favorites. So, and I love him and I've
• 36:36
  been, you know, we've been interviewing him when he went,
• 36:39
  when he came from Atlanta and he went to the Jacksonville
• 36:43
  Jaguars. And I remember it was the first
• 36:44
  year he was with the Jacksonville Jaguars when we
• 36:46
  interviewed him and I said, and he was the best tackler in the
• 36:49
  league. And I said, what is it like
• 36:51
  being the best tackle in the league?
• 36:52
  He says, am I? I didn't even know that it was.
• 36:56
  It was three. It was three months after that
• 36:57
  amazing playoff comeback they had against the Chargers.
• 37:00
  Oh man, He, I, he, you could tell he doesn't care.
• 37:03
  He doesn't care about numbers or statistics.
• 37:05
  He just cares about winning. And I think with with a leader
• 37:08
  like that, he's one of the assistant captains of the team.
• 37:11
  They're going to have a chance to win.
• 37:12
  He's still fairly young. I think he's 2728 years old.
• 37:16
  I, I think he could play another two or three good years at the
• 37:18
  top level that he is. And he's just a fun, outgoing
• 37:22
  person. And, and you want to know
• 37:24
  something Everybody had one of my friends is texting me.
• 37:26
  He's like, what did you take? So I, I took like this like
• 37:29
  anxiety pill, like stress pill today.
• 37:33
  And she says, Oh, it doesn't make you drowsy, doesn't make
• 37:35
  you like dizzy or something. I'm going to tell you this right
• 37:37
  now. I don't know what I took, but
• 37:39
  throughout the show I've been trying to keep my eyes, you
• 37:43
  know, like on target and be able to.
• 37:46
  They asked. I was telling, I was telling
• 37:47
  scoops during the break when we went to the sportsman, I said,
• 37:50
  man, I, you know, I didn't think I was going to feel this tired,
• 37:54
  this drowsy, this, you know, this terrible.
• 37:56
  I'm going to get through this. I'm going to fight through this.
• 37:59
  But after the show, I'm going to be like, you know, one of those
• 38:03
  guys. All right, ladies and gentlemen,
• 38:04
  we call this This is the Remix. Another one.
• 38:10
  Remix. This is the Remix remix.
• 38:15
  All right, guys, welcome back to This Is the Remix.
• 38:20
  You hear the original song right now, we're going to give an
• 38:24
  original take that Errol gave a little while back.
• 38:28
  It's going to bring the music down just a tad over here.
• 38:32
  So here it is, Speedy. I'm going to bring this down.
• 38:36
  You're going to pop up the original take that Errol had.
• 38:39
  When it's done, we're going to hit the drop one more time and
• 38:42
  then we're going to put the remix beat on.
• 38:44
  And Errol, you can either agree with what you said, take back
• 38:49
  what you said, or go somewhere half in between.
• 38:52
  Here's your shot. On This is the Remix love about
• 39:00
  Drake May thinking that he's going to be a top three
• 39:03
  quarterback in the league. Mikey C will be dancing around
• 39:07
  in this studio. If he's right, he said three
• 39:10
  years, Drake May will be a top three quarterback in this
• 39:13
  league. He's on drugs.
• 39:15
  I think Drake May could be really good, but top three
• 39:18
  quarterback now he's sniffing something.
• 39:20
  And whatever powder he's sniffing from Mexico or
• 39:22
  Amsterdam. Share some with me, Mikey,
• 39:25
  because you have no idea what you're walking into.
• 39:29
  And I want to ask Mikey see when we do our fantasy draft if he's
• 39:33
  actually going to dig into his pants and draft Drake May when
• 39:37
  it comes to his quarterback play.
• 39:38
  I guarantee you he won't, because nobody's stupid enough
• 39:42
  to believe it except Mike. And if Mikey sees right, he's
• 39:45
  going to be like, I'm not giving his head right?
• 39:48
  As I always say, eat shit Mike, I'm not doing.
• 39:54
  It remix. This is the remix.
• 39:58
  Errol. Oh man.
• 40:08
  Well, just so everybody knows, Mikey did draft Drake May in one
• 40:12
  of his leagues. So I was wrong about that.
• 40:15
  I did not think Drake May this year.
• 40:18
  Well, obviously the schedule bowled well for them and the
• 40:21
  Patriots, but you play who's ever, you know, whoever you
• 40:24
  matched up against, Drake May was a top three quarterback in
• 40:27
  the league. So I was wrong about that.
• 40:28
  I was shocked that Drake May had the season that he had and if
• 40:32
  you look at his numbers, they were very impressive. 4394
• 40:35
  yards. He had 31 touchdowns, so only 8
• 40:38
  interceptions. So he looked good in the regular
• 40:41
  season. But I said during the season
• 40:44
  that I want to see him against top and talent and when they get
• 40:48
  into the playoffs, can he compete against the top ten top
• 40:52
  and talent in the AFC or in the NFC?
• 40:54
  If they go, I didn't think they were going to the Super Bowl.
• 40:57
  And I'll say this, I was wrong about Drake maybe in the top
• 41:00
  five quarterback at any point in his career, especially the way
• 41:05
  he has been this year. I do not believe he's a top five
• 41:08
  quarterback amongst the league's best only this year.
• 41:12
  We'll have to see if he does it back-to-back years.
• 41:14
  But here's the thing, what I've seen in the playoffs tells me
• 41:19
  he's not an elite quarterback. He's not a top five quarterback.
• 41:23
  Is he a top ten quarterback? Absolutely deserves a lot of
• 41:26
  credit and his development. It's only his second year.
• 41:28
  He's only going to get better under Mike Raybould.
• 41:30
  This is his first year under Mike Raybould.
• 41:32
  It was very impressive, but to say that he's a top five
• 41:36
  quarterback, besides the great year he had, I have to see it
• 41:39
  multiple years before I'm going to go and correct myself.
• 41:43
  I'll take back what I said. I'll eat my words that in his
• 41:47
  second year, he wasn't he, he wasn't going to be a top three
• 41:50
  quarterback. I was wrong about that.
• 41:52
  But I have said it over and over and over again.
• 41:54
  You got to prove yourself in the playoffs.
• 41:56
  I don't care if they're in the Super Bowl.
• 41:57
  They're not in the Super Bowl because of the offense.
• 41:59
  They're in the Super Bowl because of their defense.
• 42:01
  So take that, ladies and gentlemen, but I'll admit I was
• 42:04
  wrong about Drake May a little bit.
• 42:08
  Wow, this is the remix, Speedy. I think somebody might be
• 42:15
  calling in. Yeah, I think we might have a
• 42:17
  rebuttal on the line. Who's this?
• 42:20
  Who do we have on the phone? Well, well, well, about time you
• 42:24
  start eating some krill I. Figured you called.
• 42:30
  Now, when you realized that the master always teaches the
• 42:35
  students, oh hold on, what's the real?
• 42:38
  What's 1? Master teaches the student.
• 42:42
  First of all, you are my student and I taught.
• 42:45
  You even remotely. Get out of here.
• 42:47
  What drugs are you on? What?
• 42:49
  Cool. Video I taught you nothing.
• 42:51
  You taught me nothing. You've lost the will to
• 42:54
  understand what you're talking about out of that pea brain of a
• 42:57
  snatch. Of yours out of left field, it's
• 43:00
  not even. Really.
• 43:00
  I'm so out of left field because you were right about 1.
• 43:04
  Bottom one come back to Earth. Out of one.
• 43:07
  About listen about time that you're admitting even now I.
• 43:11
  Admit all the time. Stop it.
• 43:12
  I'm more shocked. That it happened so quickly
• 43:16
  because I gave that within that five years.
• 43:18
  Dude, he had the. He's already there.
• 43:20
  Dude, he had. Dude he had the 5th easiest
• 43:23
  schedule in the. NFL OK, listen, you know what
• 43:26
  everybody says? He had the 5th easiest schedule
• 43:29
  in NFL history, in history had no weapons.
• 43:33
  Really. He had no fuck.
• 43:34
  Oh, don't. Tell me Jeff R Dix is not a good
• 43:38
  weapon. On his last play, they have.
• 43:40
  Good running games. They their their offensive line
• 43:42
  was a good offensive line. Your defense was elite.
• 43:45
  What are you talking about? Have you?
• 43:47
  Lost your mind, your defense. I'm talking about offense.
• 43:49
  That's. A weapon defense is a weapon.
• 43:52
  About the defensive play, what is it talking about?
• 43:54
  The quarterback play? All right, we're talking about
• 43:56
  how Drake May has put himself up there.
• 44:00
  He. Played against bad secondaries.
• 44:02
  He played against bad secondaries.
• 44:05
  What are you talking about? The secondaries he's played
• 44:07
  against were bad. That's right.
• 44:10
  That's right. Do you want me to go through the
• 44:12
  games that he just won? Do you want me to tell you where
• 44:15
  they're ranked? That's right.
• 44:17
  That's right. What?
• 44:18
  Is it What what what else? What other excuses you want to?
• 44:20
  There's no excuse, Mike. You can never eat your crow.
• 44:24
  You can never eat your words. I will You never, You never, you
• 44:27
  never. You never have.
• 44:30
  You never have to admit. Really.
• 44:33
  I admitted it. What are you talking about?
• 44:35
  You're not 90% right. You're not even close to 90%,
• 44:38
  right. You're like 40% right.
• 44:41
  Yeah, Get out of here. I have gotten you so many times
• 44:44
  and you. Are making up excuses.
• 44:46
  You have lost your mind. Lost it.
• 44:48
  I get it. You know many times.
• 44:51
  You know how many times I've beaten you in an argument?
• 44:54
  Get out of here. I'll give you a collection.
• 44:56
  My foot in your ass. Eat my foot in your smart ass
• 44:59
  suck. For the dog, I'll suck Wilson
• 45:02
  OK, good thinking this Wilson. What do you think about the kids
• 45:06
  are going to be the worst team in the next 10 years because of
• 45:10
  all their capital? Yeah, OK.
• 45:11
  And you're and you're, you're an automatic Patriots fan and
• 45:15
  you're an automatic. Patriots fan and.
• 45:17
  You're an automatic Patriots fan.
• 45:19
  You've lost your damn mind. You are a fake, fake fan that
• 45:24
  hides behind the weeds and everything.
• 45:26
  That's right. That's right, Yeah, a giant
• 45:32
  family. A long time ago, I told you I
• 45:34
  respect what they did. They sat down, what you would
• 45:38
  call it, and put Brady in and he took them over.
• 45:40
  And it's respectful that that team, he never took top money
• 45:45
  ever as a quarterback because he always wanted the team to put it
• 45:48
  right back in it. Oh yeah, I thought that was
• 45:50
  respectful and the only guy that could win rings.
• 45:52
  Now you got another guy in the division that's going to win
• 45:55
  rings, too. Really.
• 45:56
  Who isn't that crazy? Who AFCE Who?
• 45:59
  Who's going to win That's not going to win?
• 46:01
  Who's going to win? Rings aren't going to win.
• 46:02
  Who's? Going to win.
• 46:04
  Who? Mike Frable, you think the
• 46:06
  Patriots get out of here? The Patriot?
• 46:08
  OK, well, I'll make a bet on that.
• 46:11
  I'll make a bet on that. You got all the money on it.
• 46:13
  How you have the Patriots winning the Super Bowl?
• 46:16
  Put your money where your mouth in.
• 46:18
  Put your money. Put your money where your mouth
• 46:21
  in. Put your money where your mouth
• 46:23
  in. Be quite zipper.
• 46:25
  Put your money, put your. 2 grand. 2 grand say.
• 46:31
  I'll say you were. Wrong about Daniel Murphy.
• 46:34
  I you were wrong about Daniel Murphy.
• 46:36
  I could go on and on and on. You were born, you said.
• 46:40
  Daniel Murphy was gonna suck when he left the Mets.
• 46:42
  You said that, did you not? He had 1° a year in hell.
• 46:46
  You also said Zach Wheeler wasn't anything either.
• 46:48
  Wait, what? You said Zach?
• 46:50
  Yeah. Yeah, you said Zach Wheeler
• 46:52
  wasn't anything either when I said that.
• 46:53
  Zach I. Never said that, no.
• 46:55
  Yes, you did. No, no.
• 46:55
  Yes, you did. No, no, no, no, she did.
• 46:57
  You got your stories wrong. Really.
• 46:58
  Go back to the goddamn peak. Go back and listen.
• 47:01
  A million hours. Yeah.
• 47:02
  Go back to the peep. Yeah.
• 47:04
  I never said anything about Zach Wheeler.
• 47:06
  You said talked about Zach. You said Zach Wheeler was
• 47:08
  overrated. Who had the best stuff as a Met?
• 47:11
  And I said the grom, and this is both a the grom.
• 47:15
  You said this is when, when what's we call was the best
• 47:17
  pitcher in New York. Oh my God.
• 47:19
  It wasn't even the Grom and he said I think Wheeler is and
• 47:22
  Wheeler ended up becoming very good, but the Grom has a little
• 47:26
  bit better stuff. You're out of your damn mind.
• 47:28
  You're out of my damn mind. He doesn't.
• 47:31
  And if you ask anybody, Zach Wheeler has been more
• 47:33
  accomplished in over the last five years and Jacob the Grom.
• 47:36
  Really. OK, let me say, Young, did
• 47:38
  Wheeler win? It doesn't.
• 47:39
  Matter. You want to know something, and
• 47:41
  I'm going to say this, don't. Mean anything, I guess first of
• 47:45
  all, don't mean anything. So that's a wide word that's a
• 47:48
  that's a league wide accomplishment but doesn't mean
• 47:51
  anything. OK.
• 47:52
  All right, Mike, so you've. Lost.
• 47:55
  Mike, you've lost it 290% right. You're lost.
• 47:57
  Wheeler has been going good for those 2 1/2 years.
• 48:00
  So automatically annoys Wheeler because you know Wheeler's
• 48:04
  better because the Grom's been injured.
• 48:06
  Make make it make sense. What?
• 48:08
  Do you mean make it make sense? Zack Wheeler, Zack.
• 48:11
  Wheeler is better, Zack Wheeler is better.
• 48:15
  Health has something to do with being great.
• 48:18
  OK. So I don't want to hear.
• 48:22
  I think health has everything to do with being great.
• 48:24
  Yes. Yeah, being healthy and playing
• 48:27
  games makes you as great of a player as the guy that sits on
• 48:30
  the sits on the bench and rides the bench and because.
• 48:33
  He's had one or two good. Years.
• 48:34
  Oh, he's the greatest. Thinker of my friends that
• 48:37
  really did very well. So I got a question go ahead.
• 48:39
  The CROM was very healthy this year.
• 48:41
  Real it wasn't the CROM was in the Cy Young AL voting I believe
• 48:45
  had a very good record for all of a sudden.
• 48:47
  Really, really. I don't I I didn't see him in
• 48:49
  the Cy Young. He was in top five.
• 48:52
  He wasn't in the top three, so that doesn't mean anything,
• 48:55
  doesn't mean anything, doesn't mean anything.
• 48:57
  Nope. Doesn't mean, doesn't matter.
• 48:59
  Doesn't mean So young, is it Wheeler?
• 49:01
  Nope. That's all it matters.
• 49:02
  You know what, Mike? You're going to sit here and
• 49:04
  tell everybody you're 90% right, but you're oh, wait, I'll tell
• 49:07
  you you're 90% wrong, 10% right. I'll give you credit.
• 49:11
  I'll give you 10%. You're lost.
• 49:14
  You're lost. You're.
• 49:15
  You're dude, I'm not delusion. There's no delusion here from
• 49:18
  the great May podium. Let's go.
• 49:20
  You realize you're wrong? Nothing.
• 49:21
  New dude he beat nobody dude. What did he do in the playoffs?
• 49:24
  Who did is he beat in the playoffs?
• 49:26
  If if it wasn't for luck, they wouldn't be in the Super Bowl.
• 49:29
  So don't sit here and tell me. Oh, Drake May this Drake May
• 49:32
  that. He sucked.
• 49:33
  He sucked. Yeah, it was.
• 49:36
  He was lucky. Dude, he fumble.
• 49:37
  The ball four times against the Texas.
• 49:40
  If the Texas didn't screw up as much, they would have been
• 49:42
  knocked out. Yeah, it's the truth.
• 49:44
  Drake may look like crap against ball.
• 49:46
  Well, the fake. The Bonex lists Broncos.
• 49:50
  OK, they're honest to God. You're going to tell me and
• 49:53
  you're going to you're going to try to sell me.
• 49:54
  This it's a horrible game and they stop game because of the
• 49:58
  weather. Oh stop weather.
• 50:00
  Oh. And both MVP, right MVP, right
• 50:03
  MVP. Mikey, it was great to talk.
• 50:05
  To MVPMVP hey. Mike, Hey, Mike.
• 50:10
  Matthew Stafford. Matthew Stafford played in the
• 50:12
  snow. How did Heathrow threw?
• 50:14
  Pretty well. Threw pretty well.
• 50:16
  He threw pretty well. Stop it, Mike.
• 50:19
  Get out of here. Mike, you're going to.
• 50:20
  Make the ball. You telling me are you trying to
• 50:22
  sit there and compare? Stop.
• 50:24
  It has 10 times the better one. Oh, so that's what it is.
• 50:29
  The AFC is the easiest. Conference sports doing with no
• 50:34
  weapons is amazing. Nobody.
• 50:37
  He's beat nobody He's beat nobody.
• 50:43
  The Broncos suck, all right? The texting suck.
• 50:47
  Yeah, they suck. How did they have home field
• 50:48
  events? Dude, dude, they should have
• 50:50
  lost against The Jets, the team that you see suck so much.
• 50:53
  They suck, but. Listen, I'm not saying the
• 50:56
  Broncos are great. I never said that.
• 50:58
  I'm just saying why did the number one seed?
• 50:59
  Dude, who did they beat? Were they?
• 51:01
  Who did they beat? The Broncos?
• 51:03
  The number one seed. Who did they beat?
• 51:04
  I want to ask. You the Broncos, the number one
• 51:07
  seed. They suck.
• 51:07
  The AFC suck. It sucks.
• 51:11
  I'm sorry, who's the number one seed in the AFC?
• 51:13
  What do you mean I I know the Broncos?
• 51:15
  On home field throughout. Who cares?
• 51:17
  What does that mean? What does that mean?
• 51:19
  What does that mean, dude? What does that mean?
• 51:22
  So bad that they end up getting you know what, man?
• 51:24
  Put your thumb in your mouth and suck it.
• 51:26
  All right, That's a funny thing. Hey, I'll get you a pacifier.
• 51:29
  I love you. Holy shit.
• 51:30
  I love you, Mike. Goodbye, Mike.
• 51:33
  Love you, Mike. Mike.
• 51:35
  We'll get you on the show, right?
• 51:36
  We'll get you on the show. You can come into the studio any
• 51:38
  day and I'll. Argue my points.
• 51:43
  Smell my ass, that's all I can say.
• 51:45
  Just. Ask your question here bro.
• 51:46
  What because you think you're saying the Broncos suck?
• 51:48
  I'm curious, did Seattle sucks? Stay at home field.
• 51:51
  What are you talking about? Seattle's great all around.
• 51:54
  Hello answer the question don't go in.
• 51:56
  The Middle Seattle's look at the Seattle's in the best division
• 52:01
  in football, best division of football, By the way, the AFC
• 52:04
  East, by the way, by the way, by the way, by the way, the AFC
• 52:09
  East is one of the worst divisions in football, one of
• 52:12
  the worst, one of the the worst, one of the worst, one of the
• 52:15
  worst, one of the worst, one of the worst.
• 52:18
  You want to go back and forth? AFC is just one of the worst
• 52:21
  divisions in football. So stop.
• 52:23
  Stop trying to stop trying to sell me.
• 52:25
  First of all, any division with the chess is always the worst
• 52:29
  division. All right, goodbye.
• 52:29
  All right, goodbye. Goodbye.
• 52:31
  I'm done. Thank you, Mike.
• 52:33
  I'm done. Seriously, I'm going to sit here
• 52:36
  and listen to this garbage. I love the guy.
• 52:39
  You know, he always thinks he's right.
• 52:41
  He has been right on some things and he says I owe him 2000.
• 52:44
  I don't know what he's talking about $2000.
• 52:47
  I I've never bet him $2000. So I don't know where he's
• 52:50
  coming up with that number. All right, So I admit there are
• 52:54
  times that he's been right, but I've been right on a lot of
• 52:56
  things too. Mike will never give me credit
• 52:58
  on anything I'm right with, but he'll say he's 90% right.
• 53:01
  He's not. I'll tell you where he's been
• 53:03
  right and I'm going to give it to you guys.
• 53:06
  Josh Allen, when Josh Allen got drafted out of that draft class,
• 53:09
  he said Josh Allen would be the best quarterback in the class.
• 53:12
  He was wrong about that. Lamar is, but he is definitely
• 53:15
  out of and I said Sam was going to be.
• 53:17
  Now Sam still has a chance. We'll see if Sam starts to
• 53:20
  develop and and wins multiple. If Sam wins a championship, you
• 53:26
  can argue and, and, and Sam could win multiple championships
• 53:29
  over there in Seattle. I would then you're going to say
• 53:32
  Sam Donald is the better quarterback.
• 53:34
  And I said Sam Donald was going to be the best quarterback in
• 53:37
  that class, not because he was a Jet, just because I thought he
• 53:41
  was an elite quarterback. And we'll see how he developed.
• 53:44
  He's still 28 years old, still has a lot of time, so we'll see.
• 53:46
  The only one that's been to a Super Bowl, actually a second
• 53:49
  Super Bowl. He was the backup for the 40.
• 53:51
  Niners So he was right about Josh Allen and he was right
• 53:54
  about Drake May, but he's been a right.
• 53:56
  He's been wrong about a lot of things.
• 53:58
  Speedy, am I wrong? We have gotten him on a lot of
• 54:01
  things that he has said where he has been really, really wrong.
• 54:07
  So Mike, I love you. I will never attack you as a
• 54:11
  person. You and my partner always been
• 54:14
  and I've always, I've always, you know, obviously because
• 54:17
  you're a little bit older than me, I've looked up to you.
• 54:19
  But you know, Mike, I've worked, I've worked with Mike for years.
• 54:22
  I've helped him grow in this industry and he's helped me grow
• 54:25
  because he's really changed my complexion of the the way I
• 54:30
  present myself on any radio show.
• 54:32
  I am different because of Mikey CI.
• 54:34
  Give him a little bit of credit because he's changed me.
• 54:37
  He's opened up my mind of who I am as a personality and let me
• 54:41
  be myself. And that's what I love about
• 54:43
  Mike. Say whatever you want about
• 54:45
  Mikey C and I have attacked him many, many times on and off the
• 54:48
  show. Mikey C is a dedicated
• 54:52
  personality and he also has a lot of faith in me.
• 54:55
  He's always come to me and says he's always told me that I'm one
• 54:58
  of the best in the industry. And I love you, Mike.
• 55:00
  I've always respected you. But there are things that come
• 55:03
  out of Mikey C's mouth that makes me sick to my stomach.
• 55:06
  That's all I'm going to say. nhl.com's Dan Rosen reports that
• 55:10
  the New York Rangers will be resting star yes Panarin until
• 55:15
  after the Olympic roster freeze next Wednesday, February 4th.
• 55:18
  The Rangers are calling it a roster management purpose.
• 55:22
  Interesting with general manager Chris Drury and the team
• 55:25
  exploring trade options for the bread man.
• 55:29
  As way as that what they call him, I don't know why they call
• 55:31
  him. After earlier this month
• 55:33
  announcing announced publicly that the team would not discuss
• 55:39
  a new contract with him until after the season when he would
• 55:43
  be a free agent. Panarin is in the last year of
• 55:47
  his seven-year $81,000,000 deal which he signed with the Rangers
• 55:51
  in 2019. NHL Networks David Pagnotta
• 55:56
  reports that the Kings and the Capitals have reached out to the
• 55:59
  Rangers about a potential Panarin trade and could give him
• 56:04
  a three-year extension right away.
• 56:06
  Reports say that the Sharks have also reached out to the Rangers
• 56:10
  about Panarin, but are less likely to extend him right away.
• 56:16
  Panarin only has 1,000,000 base salary and a 7 million signing
• 56:21
  bonus left on his contract, but the Rangers may still have to
• 56:26
  pay him some of the remaining salary even if they draw they do
• 56:31
  trade him. Panarin has nineteen goals,
• 56:34
  which is second on the Rangers this season only behind Mika
• 56:39
  Zibbinejad, and also has 38 assists and 57 points, which
• 56:44
  lead the Rangers and players this season.
• 56:49
  Well, well, well, Mr. Panarin. Well, here's what I'm going to
• 56:54
  say. Wherever Panarin goes, he will
• 56:58
  succeed. I think he's a prolific
• 57:01
  offensive option no matter where he goes.
• 57:03
  If he goes and plays with Ovechkin, that'll be fun to
• 57:05
  watch. He'll play on Ovechkin's line.
• 57:07
  That would be really cool to watch, especially with the
• 57:10
  Capitals possibly making the playoffs.
• 57:13
  He wants to play on a playoff run.
• 57:15
  He's never won. Well, he did win a Stanley Cup
• 57:17
  in Chicago, I think one year. Yeah, he's but he was like a
• 57:19
  third line player. And he's still a great player,
• 57:22
  let me tell you. I remember when he came into the
• 57:23
  league he was, I think if I'm not mistaken, he was a third
• 57:26
  round pick. I think at the Cup year was the
• 57:29
  last of the three Blackhawks Cups of his rookie.
• 57:31
  Year, yeah, and, and the Kings are interesting too, because out
• 57:35
  there on the West Coast, the Kings are young, talented, very
• 57:38
  aggressive team. I could see the King's Landing.
• 57:41
  A guy like Panarin. This is a guy that has a
• 57:45
  tremendous ability. I don't care if he's 34.
• 57:46
  I don't care if he's 40. The guy could still put the puck
• 57:49
  in the net. He still has a way and has a
• 57:51
  knack to putting the puck in the net.
• 57:53
  Those guys don't grow on trees. They really don't.
• 57:56
  If he played for the Islanders right now, he'd be second
• 57:59
  leading scorer on the Islanders. So I, I, I'm not going to say
• 58:03
  that Panarin wouldn't be a nice option if the Islanders were
• 58:05
  interested in moving to get him. And I don't think the Rangers
• 58:08
  would ever do that because he's one of their best players.
• 58:11
  But here's the facts. Panarin's had problems over the
• 58:15
  last couple of years, problems with women issues.
• 58:19
  There were stuff coming out, domestic violence situations.
• 58:22
  I think you remember that Speedy that the Rangers were trying to
• 58:27
  brush under the rug. They were stuff going on with
• 58:30
  him traveling to Russia in the offseason when the Rangers
• 58:33
  didn't want him to do that because of all the war and all
• 58:35
  the stuff that's going on over there across the sea.
• 58:39
  There's a lot and, and Panarin has his own personality.
• 58:43
  He does his own things. And I, I maybe being that he is
• 58:49
  one of the elite offensive options the Rangers have had in
• 58:51
  a very, very long time. I'm honestly, when you think
• 58:53
  about as far as great players, the last player that I can
• 58:57
  compare Panarin to was probably, I would say probably messier.
• 59:02
  Rick Nash was a good player when he came from Columbus.
• 59:05
  He really was, but he never really turned into the player he
• 59:09
  became when he was with Columbus.
• 59:11
  I I mean, I think he had 140 goal season with the Ranger.
• 59:14
  He and he never showed up in the playoffs.
• 59:16
  Panarin, he's up and down in the playoffs and really in the last
• 59:20
  couple of years he's disappeared.
• 59:21
  The no movement clause was is very interesting when it comes
• 59:26
  to Panarin. That means Panarin will have his
• 59:27
  choice on certain teams that he wants to be traded to.
• 59:31
  Same thing with Mika is a bit of Jazz.
• 59:33
  Same thing with a lot of these guys.
• 59:34
  And that's why I think Chris Jury is a complete fool because
• 59:38
  he's got six players, 6 important players that are
• 59:42
  making a lot of money. When it comes to the the Rangers
• 59:44
  cap, they have no movement clauses.
• 59:47
  And with that, that means they're in the driver's seat.
• 59:50
  The players are in the driver's seat.
• 59:51
  And, and again, I talk about the NBA being a player driven
• 59:54
  league, but there is no movement clauses in the NBA really.
• 59:59
  There are no, there's there's no trade clauses, but not no
• 1:00:03
  movement clauses. The NHL is completely different.
• 1:00:06
  The NHL has no movement clauses and no trade clauses.
• 1:00:10
  So they have two of them. And the fact here is Panarin is
• 1:00:15
  in the driver's seat. He can go wherever he wants.
• 1:00:18
  He really could, and I think he's going to make the decision
• 1:00:21
  on where he wants to go. He was going to go to a team
• 1:00:23
  that has a chance to win a Stanley Cup, a team that he
• 1:00:25
  feels comfortable playing at and and his ability to still put the
• 1:00:28
  bucket in it can still be a thirty goal scorer, maybe a
• 1:00:31
  forty goal scorer. I think that this guy is is
• 1:00:36
  still as dominant as any second tier offensive options the NHL
• 1:00:42
  has to offer. I think he could skill if he
• 1:00:46
  goes to the right team. He could score 40 goals in a
• 1:00:48
  season. I think he still has the ability
• 1:00:50
  to do that speedy. Yeah, 57 points for a team that
• 1:00:53
  doesn't skate very well, A-Team, that's gotten old with a lot of
• 1:00:55
  these veteran guys kind of underperforming all at once.
• 1:00:57
  The Banjad has played a little better, but still not great
• 1:00:59
  overall. JT Miller, his first full season
• 1:01:01
  back with the Rangers, has been up and down with injury.
• 1:01:03
  So I think him still playing like that, it's the
• 1:01:06
  circumstances shows that he could still be a top six
• 1:01:08
  contributor on a lot of those other teams.
• 1:01:10
  The Sharks are interesting 'cause they have a lot of speed
• 1:01:12
  on that team of Panera and can still skate.
• 1:01:14
  Maybe not to the same extent when he first came to the
• 1:01:15
  Rangers, but still enough where with that fast of a core around
• 1:01:19
  him is definitely suited for him.
• 1:01:22
  The Kings have always been looking for an offensive kind of
• 1:01:25
  top six filler guy. For years they've been very top.
• 1:01:27
  And a leader. Yeah, they've been top heavy
• 1:01:29
  with with Kempe having a great career over there with the Kings
• 1:01:32
  and they've rotated several other guys around in other small
• 1:01:35
  scale trades that have worked, but they haven't really had that
• 1:01:37
  guy that is that's a keeper for them.
• 1:01:39
  They've always been aggressive at the traded deadline but never
• 1:01:42
  have been the team that's gotten it.
• 1:01:43
  It reminded me of Minnesota for a while until Minnesota got
• 1:01:45
  Quinn Hughes this year. They were always in the market
• 1:01:47
  and never could get the pull the trigger on those trades or they
• 1:01:50
  traded too much in so they panicked on other.
• 1:01:53
  Deeds I watch out for the Kings, and I'll tell you why.
• 1:01:56
  This wouldn't be the only move that the Kings are going to
• 1:01:58
  make. They have a great farm system.
• 1:02:01
  They have a lot of good young players.
• 1:02:02
  Panera would be a great fit over there.
• 1:02:05
  Obviously he'll be a second line player, but he can always move
• 1:02:09
  to the first line, especially if he's put in the puck in the net.
• 1:02:12
  He still has tremendous speed. He's got one of the best hands
• 1:02:15
  in in the NHL still to this day. I you don't you can't teach that
• 1:02:19
  you can't teach goal scoring to anybody.
• 1:02:21
  This guy has the ability he has a knack.
• 1:02:24
  That's why they call. I guess that's why they call him
• 1:02:25
  the bread man because he knows how to put it in the in the
• 1:02:28
  pocket. You know, so I, I, to me, it
• 1:02:33
  makes a lot of sense with the Kings more than I would say with
• 1:02:36
  the Capitals, because the Kings need that offensive leader on
• 1:02:39
  the offensive side of the the pot, on the offensive side of
• 1:02:43
  the ice. I'm just interested to see if
• 1:02:46
  some surprise team sneaks out of somewhere to grab him up and
• 1:02:50
  scoop him up and put him in a position to succeed.
• 1:02:52
  Yeah, I was actually going to mention the Capitals.
• 1:02:54
  I don't like the fit as much because they're more of the
• 1:02:56
  physical power forward type team.
• 1:02:58
  I don't really think he would fit as much over there.
• 1:02:59
  And I know there was another article I was reading about the
• 1:03:02
  Florida Panthers because the same thing I mentioned.
• 1:03:03
  He's not going to. Panthers, yeah, the same thing I
• 1:03:05
  mentioned with Vegas a few weeks ago, like they're another team,
• 1:03:07
  Florida that loves to manipulate the cap, but there Florida is
• 1:03:09
  another one that's a power forward type team.
• 1:03:11
  I don't think he would really. Fit.
• 1:03:12
  I'm going to tell you a team that you better watch out for
• 1:03:15
  the Dallas Stars. They're another one I saw too,
• 1:03:17
  yeah. They're the team because the
• 1:03:19
  Dallas Stars, they're built to win.
• 1:03:21
  They always fall short. They have three straight
• 1:03:23
  conference finals. Yeah, they they can't get to the
• 1:03:25
  Stanley Cup Finals. And you add Panarin to that team
• 1:03:29
  and you only have to give up maybe 1 prospect and you put
• 1:03:31
  them with the talent that they have over there.
• 1:03:33
  Watch out. I mean, they'll be, everybody
• 1:03:36
  keeps talking about how Colorado's just going to drive
• 1:03:38
  themselves all the way to Stanley Cup finals.
• 1:03:39
  No, they're not. I don't think so.
• 1:03:41
  I, I think Dallas is dangerous. I think some of these younger
• 1:03:43
  teams that have a tremendous amount of speed and you know,
• 1:03:46
  the playoffs is completely different when, when it comes to
• 1:03:48
  speed and, and, and goaltending. All you need is a hot goaltender
• 1:03:52
  and you can win it all. So I I in Colorado's weakness
• 1:03:55
  goaltending. Yeah, it's interesting how
• 1:03:56
  aggressive a lot of those other teams will be, like the Sharks
• 1:03:59
  that are young longer. Like a team like Anaheim, you go
• 1:04:00
  back with Quemville, who you coached, who you coached with
• 1:04:04
  and with Chris Kreider with with True.
• 1:04:06
  But with all those other guys you played with, with the
• 1:04:07
  Rangers, like that feels like a natural fit with a team that
• 1:04:11
  just traded Trevor Zeigris as well to Philly.
• 1:04:13
  And Troy Terry, who was good at the beginning of his career as
• 1:04:15
  an offensive player, hasn't really been the young player
• 1:04:17
  either. So if they want to stay
• 1:04:18
  aggressive, they're I think third in their division right
• 1:04:21
  now. They're kind of like wavering
• 1:04:22
  with Seattle and some of the other teams with the wild card
• 1:04:24
  standings. But that could be the aggressive
• 1:04:26
  move with the cap space that they do have because even though
• 1:04:28
  they pay, they're taking on. True Crider's contract, they
• 1:04:30
  still have a lot of good contract besides that.
• 1:04:33
  So Joel Quenville, it's funny you mention him.
• 1:04:36
  Speedy is the guy who invented the nickname for our Tammy
• 1:04:40
  Panarin. It's just because his name
• 1:04:42
  sounds like. Then he should clean it up.
• 1:04:43
  If Quenville's giving him the name, you should be cleaning
• 1:04:46
  that name. Probably a bad sign.
• 1:04:47
  It sounded to him to him like Panera Bread, so he just started
• 1:04:51
  calling him Bread man instead of trying to pronounce Panarin I
• 1:04:54
  guess. You sure you want?
• 1:04:55
  He doesn't want his loaf. Sorry, sorry.
• 1:05:02
  I'm not going to touch that one with a tenth foot pole, but
• 1:05:05
  whoever gets Pinera and and I want to ask a question after I I
• 1:05:10
  say this, he's instant offense. This guy can just start offense
• 1:05:15
  out of nowhere. You could just have grinders on
• 1:05:17
  your line. He will get them points.
• 1:05:20
  He's gotten 89 points or more every season since 2021.
• 1:05:26
  He's fantastic except if you have him on a team like he's
• 1:05:32
  currently on where they're just not engaged.
• 1:05:35
  He is never going to play defense or back check.
• 1:05:38
  He just. He's never played defensively
• 1:05:40
  anyway though. Well, but you have to keep him
• 1:05:42
  engaged so he's passable defensively so that he's going
• 1:05:45
  to play at least in the team concept defensively.
• 1:05:50
  And what you've seen is he's just if he gets into the zone
• 1:05:54
  and his slick play doesn't work, then it's just an odd man rush
• 1:05:58
  the other way every single time. That's what happened the last
• 1:06:01
  year and a half with the Aaron. But he still get an 80.
• 1:06:04
  He got 89 points last year, he's got 58.
• 1:06:06
  He's on pace for another 80 point season again.
• 1:06:08
  But what are the Rangers going to get for him?
• 1:06:10
  That's my question. He's on an expiring deal.
• 1:06:13
  Not a lot. I mean, you would think that you
• 1:06:16
  should be able to get there's going to be people that want
• 1:06:19
  them. You're not going to.
• 1:06:20
  Get a second line forward. You're not going to get a first
• 1:06:22
  round talent. I I think you might get a player
• 1:06:26
  on somebody's, you know, in their farm system.
• 1:06:29
  That was a second round pick who a lot of people put them on a
• 1:06:33
  depth charts as a top five player.
• 1:06:35
  They might get something like that.
• 1:06:37
  The Rangers, if they're if they have the right guy making the
• 1:06:40
  choice they get, they get lucky. Hey, listen, listen, they got
• 1:06:43
  lucky with Fox. They made that move.
• 1:06:47
  They brought Fox in Carolina drafted him and Carolina had a
• 1:06:51
  an abundance of defensive talent.
• 1:06:54
  So they they gave up Fox and the Rangers got lucky with him.
• 1:06:57
  The Rangers gave up nothing for Fox.
• 1:07:00
  So I, I mean, and look at what Fox turned out to be.
• 1:07:03
  I mean he's an elite defenseman when he plays at the top level.
• 1:07:06
  So I, I just, I don't know if Panera being at his 34, if any
• 1:07:11
  team is going to budget giving him a top talent, but I, I and
• 1:07:15
  even a first round draft pick, I, I could see a second round
• 1:07:18
  pick probably. Yeah, probably.
• 1:07:20
  Especially in the West, we think there's going to be some level
• 1:07:22
  of a bidding war because I mentioned California teams plus
• 1:07:25
  Vegas plus Dallas. Like there's enough contending
• 1:07:27
  teams that'll do it. Who says Minnesota doesn't try
• 1:07:29
  either? Like they're probably an
• 1:07:30
  immediate team like that's in the running the Capitals and
• 1:07:33
  Florida's the only teams I've heard in the East.
• 1:07:35
  But again, would Panaron want to go to one of those systems that
• 1:07:38
  are more of a bruising type system with with?
• 1:07:41
  I will tell you this and if you're, if you're a fan, I mean,
• 1:07:44
  so Rokin is on a team care right now.
• 1:07:46
  I I don't know if anybody understands what he is doing
• 1:07:48
  right now. He's giving up one goal in four
• 1:07:51
  games, one goal. I think it's one goal or three
• 1:07:55
  games, one goal in three games and only I think it's two goals
• 1:07:59
  in four games. It's, it's like ridiculous.
• 1:08:01
  He's the leading. He's leading in expected goals,
• 1:08:03
  too. 6 shutouts on the season leads the league.
• 1:08:07
  I mean, he's been lights out. The team's lights out.
• 1:08:10
  Well, it just beat the Rangers two games in a row.
• 1:08:12
  It took I want to I want to tell all you Islander fans something.
• 1:08:16
  A lot of Island fans thought he lost something and after he came
• 1:08:19
  back from his back surgery last year, he came back from that
• 1:08:22
  back surgery takes a full year to absorb that kind of injury.
• 1:08:26
  Remember he was out for a all of pre season games and now you see
• 1:08:31
  what this guy was before he hurt his back.
• 1:08:36
  This guy is as good as any any goaltender in the NHL right now
• 1:08:40
  and he could win goaltender of the year.
• 1:08:42
  He could, he should right now. I mean, if the Islanders get
• 1:08:45
  into the playoffs as a top three seed, he's one of the reasons
• 1:08:49
  why the Islanders are at the top level right now.
• 1:08:51
  He has been unbelievable and he has got arguably the greatest
• 1:08:54
  goaltender teaching him and Patrick Wah.
• 1:08:56
  I mean, nobody could argue that Patrick Wah is probably the
• 1:08:59
  greatest goaltender. It's either him or Martin
• 1:09:01
  Brodor. You can argue that.
• 1:09:03
  And then I would say Eddie Jockerman.
• 1:09:04
  That would be the other guy. But it's pretty amazing what
• 1:09:08
  Sorokin is doing right now. Shaffer score tonight and it's
• 1:09:12
  the Rangers get swept by the Islanders right now and the
• 1:09:14
  Islanders are the third seed. They're actually tied for
• 1:09:18
  second. Pittsburgh is playing great
• 1:09:20
  hockey right now. That's.
• 1:09:21
  More surprising? Guess who scored the other goal
• 1:09:23
  for the Islanders tonight? Speedy can only be one person,
• 1:09:27
  Carson Soucy, who? Of course, by the way, by the
• 1:09:31
  way, the beef reached out to me and said, oh, you got this Susie
• 1:09:34
  guy, He stinks. He stinks.
• 1:09:36
  I said you watch, he'll go to the like when they traded.
• 1:09:39
  For him last year. He'll go to the Islanders and
• 1:09:42
  he'll be an elite defenseman. You watch.
• 1:09:44
  Yeah, he was supposed to. He was a really good prospect
• 1:09:46
  when he was in Minnesota. There's no room for him.
• 1:09:48
  I'm going to give a lot of credit to Patrick Wah.
• 1:09:50
  I mean, I did not think this was going to work here.
• 1:09:52
  And I thought bringing in a new GMA younger GM, that he was
• 1:09:57
  going to part ways with him. It wasn't his pick.
• 1:09:58
  It was Lamorello's guy. But they're both French Canadian
• 1:10:01
  and they have kind of like a good relationship on, on and off
• 1:10:05
  the ice. He decided to keep Patrick Wah
• 1:10:07
  and Bob Boy, oh boy, Patrick Wah has been, he's up for coach of
• 1:10:11
  the year. There's no question that he's
• 1:10:13
  been one of the better coaches in the NHL this year.
• 1:10:15
  The development of some of these young players, I mean, they've
• 1:10:18
  been unbelievable. So I and Matthew Shaffer, it is
• 1:10:23
  just, I mean, I'll take back. I mean, I didn't think Shaffer
• 1:10:27
  was going to be bad. I just, I would have went for me
• 1:10:30
  son. Yeah, it just wasn't.
• 1:10:31
  You never see a defenseman this good, right?
• 1:10:33
  Away yeah, they don't that this doesn't happen.
• 1:10:35
  I mean, the Islanders got lucky and they they struck gold and
• 1:10:38
  you can see the difference of the way the team is playing
• 1:10:40
  around him and and the team believing in him.
• 1:10:43
  So and Patrick walk keeps giving him more and more minutes.
• 1:10:45
  I mean he's playing 2628 minutes a game.
• 1:10:48
  I mean, he's a rookie. Rookies don't usually average
• 1:10:51
  1817 minutes a game at a top level.
• 1:10:54
  It is. It's dude, He's averaging more
• 1:10:56
  minutes than Sidney Crosby was in his rookie season and he was
• 1:11:00
  in, he was a center. So it is an amazing story with
• 1:11:04
  any Islanders. Watch out for them.
• 1:11:06
  Good goaltending. The defense is playing at an
• 1:11:08
  elite level right now. They're scoring goals by the
• 1:11:11
  clip. Watch out for the Islanders.
• 1:11:13
  That's all I'm going to say. Anyways, that's it for a show.
• 1:11:15
  Ladies and gentlemen, I want to give a shout out to Jabba
• 1:11:17
  Chamberlain. Hopefully he made it here in New
• 1:11:20

• 1:12:01
  crazy, crazy, crazy day, man. Stress all stress today and like
• 1:12:06
  I said, I I made the wrong decision.
• 1:12:09
  That's all I got to say. Oh really, really wrong
• 1:12:12
  decision. I just put my head back.
• 1:12:13
  I seriously probably would have felt Harold saying one of these.
• 1:12:16
  He's leaning back. I was leaning back.
• 1:12:17
  I was closing my eyes, I was trying and foyer.
• 1:12:20
  You know, it's so funny because foyer when he was smirking and
• 1:12:23
  stuff like that. I know he was watching me close
• 1:12:25
  my eyes so he didn't want to say that, but I I it's it's tiring
• 1:12:29
  man. I've never felt like this
• 1:12:30
  before. So it feels like I'm like on a
• 1:12:32
  muscle relaxer and I can't even like, I'm surprised, like my
• 1:12:37
  tongue's not hanging out of my mouth right now.
• 1:12:40
  Anyways, that's it. We will see you on Monday.
• 1:12:44
  Until then, have a good weekend. Enjoy.
• 1:12:47
  Well, there's no football on this weekend because we have a,
• 1:12:51
  you know, Super Bowl 60 next weekend and, and Niffen's flying
• 1:12:54

• 1:12:57
  show. You mean we got the Pro Bowl
• 1:12:58

  Wonderful Pro Bowl flag football.

  Harold Washington, Washington or Sanders, crash and burn.
• 1:13:05
  I mean he. Was already on.
• 1:13:06
  I mean, speedy, if you were playing in the Pro Bowl, you
• 1:13:09
  wouldn't crash and burn. I mean, come on.
• 1:13:10
  These guys got that. Don't give me something.
• 1:13:12
  Don't give me that. It's flag football.
• 1:13:14
  It's. What I say it?
• 1:13:15
  Was flag football before it was flag football?
• 1:13:16
  Yeah, it's it's the only flag I'm going to be wearing is the
• 1:13:20
  one that's going to be up my ass watching it.
