00:00Well, C.J. Gardner-Johnson, this happened right before the hockey game started last night, and he's a name player
00:08in the league.
00:09Maybe not always for the best reasons.
00:12He's bounced around a lot, and I'd like to get into why you think that might be, but this is
00:19a hole that's filled.
00:20We talked yesterday, and I said, like, I'm kind of surprised only two additions so far on defense.
00:25Well, slowly but surely, here's a third, and I assume this is a starting-caliber player, right?
00:32Yeah, interesting player, too.
00:33I mean, you know, there's been a lot of just talk about his personality, what he brings to the field,
00:39you know, the edge that he plays with.
00:41You know, he's also a guy that's made plays.
00:43I mean, he led the league in interceptions just a few years ago with six in 2022, and I think
00:48he missed a few games that year, too.
00:49He had six again in 2024 and won a Super Bowl with the Philadelphia Eagles.
00:53I mean, the guy can be a ball hawk, for sure.
00:55The way he plays, he's just kind of fearless.
00:58He gets under your skin.
00:59There's no doubt about that.
01:00That's been a lot of the talk today, and I agree with you.
01:02I think he slots right in as a starting safety next to Cole Bishop.
01:05You know, he does have corner experience, but that's not going to happen on this team, you know, at least
01:10as a starter.
01:10Could he play that in a pinch?
01:12Sure, I'm sure he could happen.
01:13It could happen, but you have Christian Benford and Max Harrison, of course, as your starting corners.
01:17You had a hole, I think, at safety, depending on what they thought about Jordan Hancock.
01:22This probably gives us a better idea on that right now, which is that maybe he's not ready to be
01:27in that role.
01:27So I think right now you're looking at your starting secondary pretty much what it's going to look like,
01:32which is Harrison and Benford on the outside, D. Alford at nickel, and then Bishop and C.J. Gardner-Johnson
01:38at safety.
01:39Yeah.
01:39Yeah.
