00:00Think this guy is him and I don't think hymns or dudes or whatever. You want to call them in modern lingo get broken

00:05I don't think that happens. I think those guys find a way to lift up their team

00:09They lift up their franchise and this franchise to me is on the doorstep of being lifted up

00:16Out of the doldrums of post Tom Brady and having an elite quarterback. They have the guy to do I agree with you

00:21I think this is the guy to do it and I'll admit that I was wrong about that

00:24But we agree that Justin Herbert is that guy right? Don't we all think that Justin Herbert's an elite quarterback?

00:30I don't know if he has the competitive moxie that Drake may for the last three years though prior to this

00:34Drake may coming off a concussion diving through two tacklers. Sure

00:38I mean he is here. Herbert's never gotten hurt. Then he goes to the postgame podium and he's like those guys up front

00:43They were really playing their ass off today to say that so believably so naturally is

00:48Special leadership because those guys up front weren't good when they weren't missing blocks. They were getting penalties

00:53They were terrible and this is where I'll credit Elliot Wolfe

00:56It's all Drake may related when I credit Elliot Wolfe really got nothing else the only compliment you can give but remember when he told

01:01Us every postgame press conference at Carolina

01:04They tried to get Drake made to throw his line and his coaches and his scheme and his receivers and he wouldn't do it

01:09And you're seeing the fruits of that

01:11Learning labor at North Carolina on full display because that would hinder him if he was making plays

01:16But being a Jay Cutler like ding right? That would be bad. I agree. He is I don't think it's a Lee

01:21I don't think it's elevating anybody though. You know, I mean, well, I think it's building the locker room

01:24I think those comments you're hearing for a team that was teetering on a

01:30Freaking mutiny they now have a leader. It's not their head coach and you can say whether that's good or bad

01:35I agree that they have a leader

01:36He wears number 10 and he can't even grow a beard

01:39But he's the leader of this football team credit the guys up front man those five and you know

01:42I'm locking their butts off. Yeah, I can listen butts off. He said a lot of that's a leader

01:46He did he said nice things

01:47There was another 10 in the locker room that had everybody saying nice things about him too, and it was not that long ago

01:52Fake. All right, fine

01:53Maybe it was but people were still saying they saw the same fake leadership from Mac Jones that I saw they were just being good

01:58Teammates now these people believe it now, they'll follow this guy to freedom. They'll follow this guy to success. He is a leader

02:05He's got a torch and they're following they picked him up and I agree with that because after that game

02:08You saw all the players go up to Drake May after that interception say hey, you know what?

02:12We wouldn't be here without you like that was that was a moment. I agree with that
