You know, I'm a Florida gator. Do you know how much this hurts my soul to take all these Georgia Bulldogs? You know?

0:16.0

You know, you want to win, though, you want. I do want to win. I do want to win my man. You're right. I do want to win more than you know.

0:26.0

Yeah, there was a time when it made sense to draft a bunch of Florida players now. Not now. The Bite Mayock approach. Go draft players from the best team around.

0:39.0

Remember he was doing that with Clemson and Alabama in Vegas and Oakland years ago. And now it's Bulldog time in Philadelphia.

0:49.0

Plenty of Georgia players snatched by Howie Roseman and company. And you know, I think there's also in a weird sort of way to the extent that you got guys that maybe need a little positive support system.

1:06.0

Having teammates around, you know, I think having Nolan Smith there is going to help Jalen Carter. Yeah, I think it will definitely agree.

1:14.0

You know, a little familiarity. It's a big transition. You got a friend there. You got a guy there who has had nothing but rave reviews, characters, smarts, everything.

1:26.0

He can be the example. He can be the support. He can be the friend to help nudge Jalen Carter in the direction that they need to get him to get the most out of his physical abilities.

1:35.0

I agree. I mean, that you had Jordan Davis there. You know, the top 12 pick from last year or 13. Sorry. So he's there. They play the same position.

1:45.0

He's going to be able to bring along. And the Colby Dean was the quarter back of that Georgia defense for a lot of years. And I think the leader of that group all together.

1:55.0

So he's going to be there, too, to help out. It's the perfect spot. Fletcher Cox, who's already, you know, he's a, he's a Hall of Fame defense attacker. He works hard. He does everything right.

2:07.0

He knows about the fabric of Philadelphia and everything that goes into it. He's got, he's got a great spot to develop, learn, not have pressure, have the right people, give them advice.

2:17.0

And I mean, holy crap. I just, what can I, holy crap? What Philadelphia is doing? First off, I got a giggle out of how he rose.

2:27.0

When every time they showed him on the thing, because I love that every time they made the pick, like the whole organization that had come in there and pay homage to King Howie.

2:33.0

And the great pick he was about to make. I thought that was hilarious. But he they should. I mean, it's just he's killing it. I put a tweet out on Friday night.

2:42.0

Like stop. Like I'm a giant saying stop. Like it's ridiculous. It's a legal team building. I'm throwing a flag, a legal team building at 15 yard penalty.

2:52.0

I mean, holy crap. Everybody they got is a difference maker. It's a best roster in football. And they had the best draft in football. And really it's not even close.

3:02.0

And they swiped the Andre Smith or Swift. Excuse me. Yeah. From the Detroit Lions. He clearly became the odd man out once the Lions drafted.

3:11.0

Jumeer gets right. Swift out goes swift because they paid David Montgomery in free agency got him away from the bear. So Swift was obviously the odd man out.

3:22.0

And the Eagles entered the fray. Number one, he's from Philly. They've known him since he was in high school. He's been in the building before. And as Howie Roseman explained it after they did the trade and all they did.

3:35.0

They they dropped 30 spots in round seven and gave up a 2024 fourth round pick to get the Andre Swift. Now he's in his contract year. But week one of 2022. This is what how he pointed out. He tore him up.

3:48.0

Eagles won the game by three points. But Swift had 144 rushing yards on 15 carries. They couldn't touch him. They couldn't stop him. And now he's part of that backfield in Philadelphia. They had lost miles Sanders.
