00:00How do you like the Imani Hooker trade for the price, for the fit, for what was called for?
00:04You know, this is the first post-deadline conversation we've had with you.
00:08So how do you like it?
00:10I like it.
00:12And I think all the above, Jeremy.
00:14I think, first of all, the physical fit, the player, is just right for a defense that needs not just
00:23every talent's the given,
00:25but it's that elevated level of football smarts, of knowing that position, the thinking man's position of the defense.
00:35And I'm not saying they don't have guys like that.
00:38I'm not saying Cole Bishop isn't that.
00:40But he's more that, I think, than pretty much anyone else, certainly, that they have at the safety position or
00:47had at the safety position.
00:49And he's an Iowa safety.
00:51Think about that, right?
00:53Think about Micah Hyde.
00:54That's the lineage, the type of guys that come out at that position eight years in the league.
01:00Obviously, the ball-hawking nature that he does have.
01:02I know three of the five picks come in one game, and that's kind of an anomaly stat.
01:07But overall, he fits.
01:11Jim Leonard, the type of coaching that he does, the type of, I think, the intricacy, I guess, and nuance
01:23that also comes with coaching and designing a defense.
01:27You need players like this who can see through even the basic stuff and see beyond.
01:33It'll be the in-week study of video.
01:36Now, he comes in, obviously, just drops in on this team.
01:40And what are we going to see on Sunday?
01:42I think you're going to see substantial stuff because his head's been in it right along.
01:47And then the numbers, the cap fit is fine.
01:52And, of course, it took the Deion Dawkins contract adjustment to help that along.
01:57But that was about the right number.
01:59And almost anything else, all the clamor for Buda Baker, a lot of that stuff just wasn't going to work.
02:05And the pick exchange really works for me because it's, yeah, a second for a guy who elevated his play
02:13from a fourth.
02:13And then you get that fifth back, and that's going to be a good-looking fifth from Tennessee.
