2:00Ocho Eagles, Jim, Hyre Roseman speaks on the mistake and the regret of not drafting 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. I made, it made me think, why are we picking certain guys? But if we don't make that mistake like that, we probably don't play in two Super Bowls in the last three years. Don't overthink things. When you're staring at a good player, just take them. Not drafting J.J. still haunts him to this day. Yes, because think about who you took. Look, the guy that he took, I played with his father, Monte Rager.

2:40Jalen Rager is his son. Yes, sir. He got in awe of all the jumping high and running fast, and he overlooked the production that J.J. Jetta gave him on the field. I asked Ozzie Newsome, who's one of the best GMs to do it. Drafted Jonathan. His first two players he ever selected was Jonathan Ogden and Ray Lewis. He selected Suggs. He selected Lamar Jackson. He selected Ed Reed. We know what he's been able to do. And I asked him, I said, Ozzie, Suggs, Ocho, he said, Suggs ran 4.85 with tights and track spikes. I said, well, why the hell you take a man and run 4.85? He said, Shanna, somebody got 23 sacks I saw.

3:27Somebody could bend the edge. I don't need him to run 40 yards. I just need to run 10. And he can get off the ball. So I believe, he said, I'll 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, hopefully he comes to the combine hopefully he tests well but if he doesn't i base most of what i what i judging on by what i see on tape i'm gonna trust my eyes how we didn't trust his eyes right he got enamored by ocho four three four sub four four four he got and he got enamored by 40 plus inch vertical he got enamored by things that doesn't necessarily equate to be because if that was the case, hell, I'd just go get me a track guy.

4:17Do you see when Noah Lyle is warming up? Did you see how high he jumps up in the damn air? Yeah. 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. You say Tyreek did them backflip. You say, you say, you got to see this joke. Yes, you can tell he's explosive. Go ahead. What you want to say? What you think about how he said admitting that he made a mistake not drafting Jenna. Well, you know, that happens. That happens. Obviously, it's the eye test when it comes to scouts, GMs, coaches, and personnel in general.

4:53Based off the eye test and not looking at numbers, you look at Justin Jefferson and you look at Jalen Rager and you'll pick Jalen Rager based on what you see when it comes to the aesthetics of the position in itself. So I can understand where he calls it. He calls it a mistake. Actually, it's not a mistake because let's say you did go get Jenna. you might not have the Super Bowls that you do 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. Well, he stumbled into it because guess what? The next year, Devontae Smith came out, and he was able to trade down and get Devontae Smith.

5:29And a couple of years later, you traded, you get A.J. Brown. A.J. Brown. So you got your big two. It did work itself out. I was kind of upset. I really wanted brother Jalen Rager to be great at the position because 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 back because 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, Ocho, do you think they put too much emphasis on, like, the testing, the combine.

6:11Yeah. When it comes to football, meaning because there are some guys who will not test well when it comes to combine, agility, quickness, vertical. But when you put them in between the lines, the lights come on, they just know how to play, bro. You know what I mean? That's for basketball and football. But I see that in a lot of guys this year, obviously from watching Shadour. You know, I know we talk about them a lot, but he looks like one of those type of guys. You know what I mean? When you get him in between the lines, he just knows how to play, bro. You know what I mean? Yeah, hell no. He probably ain't going to test well in no combine and no 40 or no vertical leap or none of that.

6:49You know what I mean? Yeah. Yeah. Somebody goes to the combine, they might not be. We just had Taron Armstead. He goes to the combine to run 4-6. Now people looking at him. Yeah. You get a guy go there, they might not be hurt or he might be a low. go run four three yeah because 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 but but also also it's a gift and a curse being able to run that goddamn fast and then believing you becoming a project coming to the nfl well we can teach you all the intangibles you know 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 nfl and you've been able to get by you've been able to get by without the technique all this time.

7:39Yeah. You got the technique at the next level. You don't get exposed anyway, no matter how goddamn fast you are. At that level, everybody run 4-3 at the skill position. Damn. Everybody, even the people that run 4-5 or run 4-6, that play receiver or not, they know how to manipulate all those that are fast to be able to get open and create separation. So speed is just an add. It's like having a car, Unc, and you're throwing rims on them. And once you put it, okay, that's the speed in general. It's great to have, but you don't necessarily need it to be successful at what you do. You got to know when to use it.

8:16Yeah. Have you ever heard anybody say size kill? Have you ever heard somebody say strength kill? What do they say kill, Ocho? Speed. Speed. Yeah. Yeah. Speed. I can't teach you that. They say, well, he taught me. No, no, no, no, no, no. I can teach you technique to make you faster than what you are, but that's in you. Right. If you think somebody like got that, Usain Bolt was always fast. Yes, sir. It was always in him. He just found somebody to get it out of him. Yes, sir. So now, Ocho, we look at guys and they're like, man, what does everybody say? Ain't nobody saying I want to do 24 reps. Ain't nobody saying I want to do 40-inch vertical.

9:02Right. Everybody say I want to run 4-3. I want to run 4-2 because that's what's going to grab the attention. Right. When Chris Johnson ran that 4-2-4. Yeah. Yeah. John Rawls got drafted in the first round because he ran 4-2-2. Yeah. He couldn't stay healthy in college. Yeah. So if you can't stay healthy in college, what makes you think you're going to be able to stay healthy in the NFL? Yeah. Xavier Worthy. Yeah. He goes to run 4-2-1, Ocho. Yeah. Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa. Yeah. Moving. I got a question. Go ahead. Excuse me if I'm wrong, Joe. hey when you watch Xavier Worthy despite his 40 time the doesn't look he doesn't look as explosive it's Tyreek he does not Tyreek look like it's like right now he gone but Xavier Worthy ran a faster combine time but he doesn't look that fast until he gets going it's like yeah he's a build he's a build-up guy right you know some some cars don't tell you just like an electric versus gas Like if anybody out there to have an electric car, you know, you step on it, it doesn't require that spark, it's gone.

10:24You look at Tyreek, Tyreek looks, when you watch Tyreek run, when you watch, the very first time I say, damn, he looked, I say, maybe it's me. I say, but some people just look fast. You know what I'm saying? And it's one thing to see a person up close and personal, but to watch somebody from the television and say, damn, he looked fast. Imagine the person. Tyreek looks explosive. But you can tell the way he built. Look at how compact he is. Look at the musculature. You can tell the way he walked. Oh, yeah. You can look at certain guys. Oh, he can do a back flip. He can do certain things. That's how Tyreek looks like that.

11:10Xavier worried this fast, but you got to realize, Xavier Worth is what, 160? Tyreek like 190. Really? You think so? Tyreek? He lost weight. Remember he said he dropped weight. So he might be 180, 185. Yeah, so he might... Xavier Worthy like 165. You know who Xavier Worthy remind me of? Who that? The same type of runner style. They have the same gait too. And it looked like they're not running until somebody's trying to catch them or the ball is in the air. that goddamn Ted Ginn. Yeah. Yes.

11:50I don't know if you remember him, Ocho, James Jett. Yeah, from the Raiders. James Jett was an alternate on the 4x1 that won the gold medal in 92 at the Olympics. Lord, have mercy. Because, you know, the Raiders always been enamored with speed. They've always had guys that can run fast. They had Willie gone who they had Sam Grady who won the silver medal in the Olympics was on the 4x4 and 80 Dada. They had Swerve and Mervyn Fernandez. They've always had guys that could fly at that position. You remember when they drafted Darius Haywood Bay Ocho because he ran 4-3-2. Now catching the football was a problem.

12:34Running 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 4 '5", 4 '6", is pretty fast enough. Yeah, it is. All you do is get to that safety. So, he dropped the ham on you. But look, you're going to make mistakes. But think about what you've done. You drafted Jalen Hurts. You drafted Jalen Carter. You drafted Jordan Davis. You drafted or Cooper DeJone. You drafted Landon Dickerson.

13:13Look at the guy. You found Jordan Milata. Look at the guy. Damn! Howie, what you want to be? Howie, the baseball player, that man that he struck out, he done got three home runs and a double. He struck out a last plate appearance. He like, damn! I messed up. Bro! Howie! Bro, you that? Devontae Smith. Look at the picks that he's got, no, Joe. Since he got that wrong. Listen, he's playing humble. Obviously, I don't think Howie understands. Listen, I'm not a part of NFL offices or management or GMs or people in positions of power, but if anything, what Howie and Jeffrey Lurie have done the past, what, five, six years?

13:57Yeah. They 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 see what they're doing over here. It's a copycat league anyway. Absolutely. People watching film and stealing stuff that works the previous week on the opponent that you're playing, hell, they might as well do the same thing. It's easier to say 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. Man, you see what Mike, you're not Michael.

14:35You're not Prince. You're not Usher. So 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's doing, but you ain't got Howie's eye. 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 Ozzie. How many Hall of Famers did he draft? Yeah. Jonathan Ogden and Ray Lewis on, I think, the 100th anniversary team. And Reed 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.

15:09Lamar Jackson is going to be in the Hall of Fame. The 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. Yes. Hell, goddamn, it's common sense. I don't care what you ran the 40 in. Let's say you did run a slow time. How am I going to knock you when I know what I'm getting when it's time to play the actual game of football? The game of football isn't ran. It's not played in a straight line anyway. this ain't track, Unk. So having speed is just another great factor to add to what you can do.

15:45But if you don't... Jerry Rice might be the slowest receiver in the hall, Ocho. Huh? Jerry Rice might be the slowest receiver in the hall. Yeah, he ran 4-6. Technical sound. He ran 4-6. He was technically sound, but Unk, he had something we call football speed. That's what you need. Football speed is the difference. And we know Emmitt might be the slowest running back. Yeah. 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. Right. That's it. Listen, this ain't Olympics.

16:22Hey, we got Olympians. We're going to let Noah Lyles. We're going to let Katie Benner. We're going to let Ryde. We're going to let Dolphins have that. Can 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're going to have to move. You're going to have to react. and the number one thing, you can't be a friend. Now, look, there's a certain level. It's hard to say a player is soft because it takes a certain type of crazy. It takes a certain type of person to play the game of football. Well, not anymore. Not anymore. Now, doing your error, doing my error, it takes a certain level of crazy.

16:58The way the game is now, where it's favored and it's handicapped in defense, you got players out there catching with one hand, man. That's why you see all of them go across the middle. and taking selfies. You got guys in the top of the light of me. Boy, they the buff.

17:16Boy, Joe back in them 2000s, boy. In them early 2000s. It was serious. Going across that middle. Alligator arms. Man, listen. Is that man? Quiet confidence. It's not what you see. It's what you feel. A suit tailored just for you. A perfectly timed guy's trip. Choosing On Plus nicotine pouches over rough corners and edges.

20:09Terry McLaurin came off the pup list amid contract tensions with the commanders. Despite the contract standoff hold-ins trade requests, Terry McLaurin will soon be practicing with the commanders. The team announced today that he has been activated from the pup list. Ocho, could Terry removal from the pup list mean 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're going 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, which would be September, I'm assuming, what, September 7th, maybe, or 13th?

20:57What at, 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, yeah, yeah. I know he definitely not going to play. The 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 wasn't able to go through training camp. Oh, 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 and my first real game is going to be a real game I couldn't imagine it Ocho I would 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 practice if there's a chance that we get this deal done I'm going to go practice because I need people pushing I need people pulling I need to be fighting through contact forget that man I'm telling you the body will tear up trying to go from 0 to 100 without putting it through that rigmarole that's what I'm going to call it you got to condition your body for the stresses that is going to endure during the season.

22:28In order to run fast, you got to practice fast. You hear what she said? Hey, I wanted to be on the ground. It's hard. Would you miss that kind of time? Ocho, you're not going to miss that kind of time and just pick right up. It's just not you, you, you sit and, and, and, and I agree with you. You kind of like, you just, just hold your breath. Like, man, please, no soft tissue injury, no soft tissue injuries, please. No groin, no quads, no hamstring, no calves, no adductors, none of that. Because like you said, Ocho, you going just like that. Yeah. You been cruising, you been cruising, and then all of a sudden, you step on the gas, step on the gas, out the blue.

23:16And what normally happens? Something got to give. Yep. Man. but hopefully they can come to an agreement real soon. The Philadelphia Eagles and the Kansas City Chiefs could make NFL and Super Bowl history this upcoming season. There have only been one instance in which two franchises played 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 of the three big games, the Chiefs are currently to have the highest odds to be a matchup for Super Bowl, what is that, 60? 60 in February of 2026. This would make the franchises the second of their kind to play one another on three separate occasions on the biggest stage.

24:02To add, no other quarterbacks in the history, no quarterbacks have ever faced each other three times in the Super Bowl, something Jalen Hurts and Patrick Mahomes have a chance to do.

24:17I mean, it sounds good, but you want me to tell you coming out of coming out of the AFC this year? You got to worry about winning your division. You ain't coming out of nowhere.

24:30Have you noticed the Bengals have been playing in the preseason, right? Yep. Okay. All I know, all I know is when L Jack is on the field, Cincinnati can't win. I just want to, I just want to remember. When L Jack is on the field, Cincinnati can't win. This is the new year, huh? You think about the past. I'm trying to understand why you think about the past. And this is 20. We in 2025. You telling me what the Baltimore Ravens did in the past. I know what's going to happen 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.

25:14So 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 2025.

25:27Okay. Yeah. Y 'all defense still suspect. Team record after winning the MVP in 2016. Here we go. Cam won the MVP in 2015. 2016, they were 6-10. Matt Ryan won it in 2016. They were 10-6 in 2017. Tom Brady won it in 2017. They were 11-5. Patrick Mahomes won it in 2018. They were 12-4. Lamar Jackson in 2019. They were 11-5. Rodgers won it back-to-back years. In 2020, they were 13-4. And in 2021, they were 8-9. Mahomes won it again in 2022, 11-6. Lamar Jackson. uh 2023 that was 12 and 5 josh allen 2024 will remain to be seen what their record will be right right zach wilson put together a solid start in dolphin second preseason game he completed 15 of 23 passes 151 yards and a touchdown he missed a couple of would-be touchdowns deep throw pass deep a pass to d eskridge uh that was underthrown rookie quinn ewers improved his improved on his debut uh completing 11 of 16 with a pair of touchdowns to fellow rookie phil wheat's jr hey wait wait who did you say had had a great debut what's the name again the first name you said oh uh zach wilson completed yeah what's that wilson zach wilson that's my that's my dog that's that's my dog okay you do realize if if he plays for the dolphins y 'all probably y 'all and not going to the playoffs, right?

27:06We'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. He looked better this week. Yes, he did. Absolutely. That's what you want to see. You want to see improvement. Exactly. Exactly. So I like it. I think the Dolphins, they're coming out of the AFC East. What do you think about that?

27:35I think you're drinking Hunch Punch. If you think they're beating Buffalo, that's what I think about that. I think you own something. And your face, bro, that was funny. That's what I think. I think you own something. Hold on. So you're not – whoa, whoa, whoa. Wait a minute. I don't like the way you sound, whereas if you're trying to say the Dolphins don't have any chance in the AFC East. Look, you play football. Anything can happen. You ain't going to put no money that the Dolphins is going to be the AFC East representative, going to win that division.
