00:00Another thing that jumped out to me overall with the digs press conference from Friday and some of his like social media stuff since then

00:08There was an exchange about how he had a picture of like Mike Vrabel and they asked him about it

00:11Yeah, like yeah, he's like he used to be a handsome guy

00:14Like I don't know about now about anymore, but he used to be handsome

00:16So I it reminded me kind of of all the stories we heard about

00:20Vrabel who was the one guy that seemingly kind of us balls poked Bill Belichick

00:26like nobody else did that everybody else walked on eggshells around Bill and

00:30Vrabel like give him the business and like the stretching line and like make fun of what he was wearing

00:33I think you kind of need a guy like that

00:35Like if you have a whole bunch of guys that are like afraid to say stuff or if you have a whole bunch of guy

00:39Like I think digs could be really good. I know some are wondering like I don't know like diva receiver

00:44I don't know if he's got a good relationship with the coach that way also

00:48He's been in the league 11 years, which you mentioned a few times, too. I think all that stuff is

00:53Really important that kind of personality could actually work as a real benefit for this team. I'll tell you too

00:57I liked one of his answers on Friday and we were driving back from Worcester listening to it

01:02I thought we I afternoons did a good job carrying that. I know that wasn't carried everywhere

01:06I wanted to hear it. I did as well. And so I thought that was a good listen and I

01:12Think he might be good

01:13I'm trust me

01:14I'm not in on Polk or Baker or those guys but a guy like that in the room might be good for those guys

01:18Because he gave his answer

01:20It was something like oh

01:22I was a fifth-round pick in Minnesota

01:23and I didn't get on the field the first three weeks and I thought I was gonna get on the field and

01:27the idea is when you get your opportunity, you got to go show out and

01:31Look, Jalen Polk got an opportunity and did not show out Baker to a lesser degree when he got his opportunities

01:37Didn't do anything with it, but they were more limited for him

01:40there's a chance that digs is good for that room and so I

01:45Felt pretty good listening to him, but maybe I'm just you know falling for the obvious and it's an intro I press conference

01:49So that's all we have to base it off of right now. I'm too easily swayed

01:52Well in a lot of time, you know last year to remember all of a sudden the receiver coach started catching strays

01:56Like they're blaming the receiver coach. Yeah, whatever like the position coaches, you know do have a certain level of importance

02:02But also getting that insight from Steph Diggs a guy who has done it in the league

02:08And has had a ton of success like all pros
