00:00Kamari Lassiter did not practice today, but in a little media scrum today,

00:05he went ahead and informed everyone that he is playing.

00:10He is playing, and he also said, I didn't even need the rest.

00:16And he said he is playing, so he spoke to media himself

00:22that he is going to be able to go, and they're just resting him for precaution.

00:26But they probably had to hold his ass off the field if he's out there talking about,

00:30I didn't even need the rest.

00:31So he is going to be out there, Clint.

00:33And I think that is a large, obviously it's a large thing because, you know,

00:41between him and Tremont Smith, you'd rather have a guy who's played it up there.

00:47But he's quickly becoming really high on the list of most important players on this team,

00:53not only just because of his skills as a corner, but he is, you've said this about him,

00:59he is absolutely a tone setter for this team.

01:02And I've gone back and re-watched that first half where they had the one defense out there

01:07for the most part.

01:09And, listen, they got some guys.

01:11Aziz is somebody who shows a lot of physicality.

01:15Will, he almost killed a guy in the game.

01:18But Kamari is, like, you've got to just see a little bit of a difference to me in the secondary.

01:26A little bit of a difference just the physicality wasn't there as much

01:30because, like, you watch him, Clint.

01:33It's hard not to just, like, feel like you've got to try to match that intensity

01:40that he is bringing to the table.

01:42And he does it every single game out.

01:44And I think I saw a little bit of that missing in the first half.

01:49And it'll be big for them to have that.

01:51And I'm certain it ratches up on a playoff game.

01:53Well, I don't think there's any doubt that you miss Kamari Lassiter in just a –

01:58I mean, he is a tone setter.

02:00He's the thermostat in the room.

02:01You want people hype, he's going to get them hype.

02:04You want to force a practice to be a physical practice, let him loose, right?

02:09Let him off the leash and let him go.

02:10So, I mean, look, to your point, I think – I told Henry Toa Toa this.

02:16I think there's – I think they all swarm.

02:19You know, everybody at the second and third level plays downhill

02:22with the exception of maybe Stingley.

02:26Two people this season that jump off the screen more to me than anybody

02:32is Henry Toa Toa and Kamari Lassiter.

02:36I mean, those two – I mean, everybody plays downhill.

02:38I'm not minimizing anything that anybody else does.

02:40You just mentioned disease.

02:41You mentioned, you know, and there's obviously Petrie's in there.

02:44But with every single game you turn on the film, Henry Toa Toa and Kamari Lassiter,

02:51it stands out brighter than day that they are the most aggressive,

02:55downhill, physical human beings on this defense.

02:58And Kamari, I think if you went down a list, because on top of being exactly like embodying

03:06what D'Amico Rhines wants his team to look like, on top of that, he's also the kind of dude,

03:13you know, off the field and mentally that you want this team to look like

03:17and this roster to look like.

03:18I think if you went down a list, if you made a list of D'Amico Rhines players,

03:26the guys that he wants his team to image, mirror image, I think Will Anderson's at the top.

03:35Absolutely.

03:36But I think Kamari Lassiter's too.

03:38I think Aziz is three.

03:39He really loves Aziz.

03:40No, he loves Aziz.

03:41But I'm talking – yeah, you're right, you're right.

03:44It may be – but you got Will, you got Aziz, you got Kamari.

03:49I think there's a love for Henry Toa Toa there.

03:52I do think that Daniil fits in there at some point in time.

03:55Petrie, yeah.

03:56I mean, Petrie, like you said.

03:56But those three, though.

03:57Yeah, man, but Lassiter's just one of them top dogs.

04:01And I just think he takes the – I guarantee you he takes the locker room

04:06before you take the field, the tunnel before a game, before you take the field.

04:11He makes that environment.

04:13Well, you watch him, it looks like, man, I got to pick it up.

04:16Yeah, no doubt.

04:17You know what I mean?

04:17Like, I got to pick it up.

04:21And that's a big difference.

04:22Well, it's real.

04:23It's authentic.

04:24You know what I mean?

04:24It's not like when him getting up and beating on his own head.

04:27Like, I don't think that's for show.

04:29Like, that's just what – like, he is that amped.

04:31Aziz, a lot of the stuff Aziz does, like, it's so authentic that people from anywhere,

04:37any age relate to it and respond to it in a positive way.

04:42Yeah, so, yeah.

04:44Not just his play on the field, but all of the other stuff.

04:47All right, Clint.

04:48Dan Orlovsky, he was on Get Up today on ESPN.

04:53And they got to talking about Arch Manning.

04:56And what's – was it Jordan Rodgers?

04:59What's Aaron's brother's name?

05:00Jordan, yeah.

05:00Jordan Rodgers.

05:02Jordan's left eye had a twitch when he came with this take.

05:07They were talking about Tyler's favorite, Arch Manning.

05:11Listen to Dan's assessment of Arch Manning in the draft.

05:16And the pick would already be made.

05:17The Las Vegas Raiders would have no chance of passing on him.

05:21They would have to make the pick.

05:22One, he's 6'4", 225 pounds.

05:27He's an unbelievable athlete.

05:28I think in the Michigan game, he ran at, like, 21 miles per hour, which is absurd.

05:33He's only gotten better.

05:34He's very strong-armed.

05:36He's unbelievably athletic.

05:37He's really smart.

05:39He's getting trained the right way.

05:40He's wired the right way.

05:42He's been knocked down and picked himself back up.

05:44I think he's an –

05:45Ultra cannot be – would not even be close.

05:48He would be – already be selected as the number one pick.

05:50That's bold.

05:56That is.

05:57What, I mean –

05:58I'm in the Hall of Fame already.

06:00I mean, just go ahead and do that.

06:00The bold part – the bold part is his reasoning.

06:05You know, I don't doubt that two things – I don't doubt – I'm not saying it would happen.

06:09I'm just saying I can somewhat entertain the conversation.

06:13I'm not saying he's way off on the reasoning.

06:15No, I am.

06:16I'm saying – not – let me try that again.

06:19I'm not saying he's way off on the reasoning.

06:22What I'm saying is his – the reasons that he's giving, yes, he is athletic, more athletic.

06:30Yes, he has been raised the right way.

06:33Those things are – many of those things are true, but that still doesn't mean, yeah, man,

06:38he's going to be the no doubt.

06:40Wouldn't it be a question number one pick?

06:41I don't doubt that Brady and the Raiders or whoever else is up there in the top of the draft,

06:48I don't doubt that they would say we can't pass on an opportunity to take a Manning.

06:56I don't doubt that they would say he's tougher than nails.

07:01He's a great leader.

07:02I don't doubt that they would say we – that name and a bad quarterback draft.

07:08This is a bad quarterback draft.

07:10It's not an elite quarterback draft.

07:14It's not a deep quarterback draft.

07:15It's not a top-heavy quarterback draft.

07:18It's not like you have to do and have a highlight reel that's ridiculous to be – to show to tangibly be better.

07:25There's no super – there's no superpower with Mendoza.

07:34Really, there's nothing about – I like Ty Simpson.

07:36I think he's going to be a good pro, but there's nothing superpower about Ty Simpson.

07:40I'll be honest with you, I haven't watched Dante more enough.

07:43I watched him the other day in that one game where they beat –

07:46where they beat Tech, and I didn't see a superpower, right, with him.

07:51And so, is there a world where a Manning that doesn't deserve to be the number one overall pick

07:57jumps in and is the number one overall pick because his name and the market –

08:01This sounds like the story of what Arch has been the last couple years.

08:04Correct.

08:05Is there a world where that could happen?

08:07Absolutely, 100%.

08:09That is – I mean, it's monkey see, monkey do, scared to pass on him because if he turns –

08:13if they passed on a Manning and he went at the bottom of the first round

08:16and he went out there and played well, I mean, Las Vegas would never live it down.

08:20So, is there a world?

08:21Yes.

08:22I just wholeheartedly disagree with him.

08:24I mean –

08:24I just wholeheartedly disagree.

08:25The level of confidence that he is saying it is.

08:27He said super athletic.

08:29But the level of confidence that he's saying – I mean, they wouldn't have a choice.

08:34What did he say?

08:34He said –

08:35He said super strong arm.

08:37I just disagree with all of that.

08:38Because I think –

08:39I mean, the Michigan game was impressive, but I don't think –

08:42I know that was – I know that was Jordan Rodgers who chimed in with no way.

08:46Is that what he said?

08:47He said there's no way.

08:49Yeah, no, I don't – I don't – I would have listened and if he just said,

08:53yeah, it's a Manning and it's a bad quarterback, Jeff, I'd be like, oh, okay.

08:56I disagree, but I don't – but going into the whole spiel and trying to talk his way through

09:01those guys being better and him being better than the others and being –

09:06I'm not going to lie to you.

09:08I like Dan.

09:09I enjoy Dan.

09:11And I think he's really good at this.

09:13And I'm not even going to just flat accuse him of this.

09:16But it – when hearing that, it feels like, Tyler, he's – he was sitting around like,

09:22I got to come up with something.

09:23I got to come up with –

09:24What's my hot take going to be today?

09:26Like, I got to come up – I got to come up with something because that is –

09:30that's beyond aggressive.

09:31I'm not going to listen to that.

09:46Okay.

09:46Here we go.
