Welcome on. Then it's off the edge with me, your host, Kim Jordan. We got a lot of things to talk about. I got a couple of friends joining the shows. You know, I think that we're gonna have to just start off with how we ended up losing to Kansas City, Pat Mahomes, Travis Kelce, Xavier Worthy, John Sherman, Schuster Smith. That's a that's painful. I think there was chances where we could have gotten Mahomes down, and somehow he made Mahomes types plays, extended some drives. That's that's not what you want to see as a defense. In terms of offense, you know, we're just gonna have to we have to get more. Whatever it is. It's the season of more. We put up thirteen points. Shout out to my dog, Colin sanders Man had a miraculous interception put thirty seven yards out there. He was out there moving for a big big guy, big guy. No knee left for Roland. Shout out to my dog. But yeah, to lose the way we did, hurts Man, we're officially lost the last three games after starting off two and oh and now two and three. We got to find a way to get back into the win column. You think about what Derek Carr means to the team and how he was playing, how he's been playing even before even this game, until he was hurt, we still felt like we had a chance. Yeah, So if he's you know, whatever happens with his oblique, whether it's he's out, you know, he's back this week, he's out the next couple of weeks, it could pose an interesting situation of who's up next. Jake Hayn, Spencer Rattler. They both look good preseason, but preseason ain't regular season. But as a leader, as somebody who's been a part of the team for so many years, there's been a season where we went through four or five different quarterbacks, you know, whether that was teddy Bridge, Roger teddy Bridge Roder or you know, going to Taysom Hill, Trevor Simeon, Ian Brook, I think back to Trevor Simon, Jameis Winston. You know, whatever that combo is. You've got to find a way to win, and it has to start off with the defense. So we can't have one hundred and forty five yards put on the ground on us. That's not what it takes. You know, we have to be better and so we can be a great supporting cast. But you think about wide receivers that we have in Chris Olave, Rashi Shahed Rashi Shaheed has probably some of the most number of explosive touchdowns in the league since twenty twenty two or whatever that is. I think it's aw stat He was tied with DeVante Adams for most thirty yards plus touchdowns and that's that's a great stack to have. That being said, you know, we got Tampa Bay coming up. But before we get to Tampa Bay, you know, let's get to my boys who are coming on the show. We're gonna start off with my dog, a legacy kid himself, Pats Certain Junior appreciate it coming on in for this is Off the Edge with your host Cam Jordan. I'm sitting here with the man who's out here going rock star mode. Uh, you know, not pass certained, the first, passcertained, the second When only bring that up because you know, I'm a legacy myself. My dad, Steve Jordan, plays for bikes for thirteen years. But we're not here to talk about me. We're here to talk about the man that that's making a huge name for himself. We're talking about two time pro bowler. Two interceptions this last game. One for a honey yard return for the for the pig six past certained, the second a K A PS two.

Yeah, hey look this, you know that this time you're coming off of a hot game. That's just talk about it. Bro. You go over to the to the raiders Gardner minshew, thank you took two picks, one to the crib. I've had a pick six, but I ain't have no yak for my pick six. Boy, I got I got a whole zero off the goal line. Thank you very much. You were for a hundred piece. We had two different.

Boy, I got I got a whole zero off the goal line. Thank you very much. You were for a hundred piece. We had two different.

Because yeah, I went for the hunter ball man shoot. I mean during that time of the game, obviously we needed some momentum. We needed a momentum swim because they was going down there to make it a two possessional ball game, and obviously we don't want to be in that deficit, especially in the divisional game.

And uh you.

And uh you.

Feel me to the back to the crib, ran my block being shoot by. By the time we hit the fifty y'alling, I was in plused control, you know what I mean. I had to clear hit of grass, you know what I mean. So you know, let it be known I had the ball in the air, then score, celebrating my teammates, you know what I mean. And so yeah, that was that was a pivotal point in the game that we definitely needed. And like I said, that momentum shift was very clear.

Yeah. Hey, big time players come up and make big time plays and big time moments and that's that's that's them right there. I love that for you, bro. You know. Then then after a Sunday Sunday game where you guys win, of course, you know you got the young young and you know young in yourself, but you got both knicks. A quarterback. How is it like having a young, a young quarterback come in start and be able to handle some of the pressures. Maybe not early on success, but he's starting to grow.

How is it like having a young, a young quarterback come in start and be able to handle some of the pressures. Maybe not early on success, but he's starting to grow.

Yeah, he's definitely growing amongst hisself. Obviously, the guys around him believe him. Obviously, when you got a guy back there that's that confident in such an early stage in his career, the sky's a limit for your team because he displays it every week. You can just tell that his composure, his chemistry is growing and growing within his teammates.

And like you said, sometimes it takes a while for a young quarterback like that to really again in a rhythm uh again and flow.

And like you said, sometimes it takes a while for a young quarterback like that to really again in a rhythm uh again and flow.

But it seems like everything's fine for him.

But it seems like everything's fine for him.

And obviously they're doing a great job offensively of making sure he feels comfortable and making sure he's down up the right place and at the end of the day, is winning this ball game.

So bo, he's been great. You know, I'm learning a lot from him.

So bo, he's been great. You know, I'm learning a lot from him.

Obviously, we played against each other in college for like two years, so we definitely had some robbery bruin going on because he went to Auburn and now in Taliban. You know that robbery is uh, you know, it's pretty pretty legendary. So being able to have him on my team. My mind is that in the midst of that, it's been pretty dope.

You know that robbery is uh, you know, it's pretty pretty legendary. So being able to have him on my team. My mind is that in the midst of that, it's been pretty dope.

I forget that he started off at Auburn because you know, clearly, I just know when he joined the pack. You know, I'm aware of back, guys, which pack is dead or maybe it's maybe it's been revived because the're about to you know, I think like Fresno State and Boise State joined the pack coming up. I don't know either way. It's it's weird now because now Oregon's are part of the Big twelve ten.

I said, oh, Seawann's gonna love that guy like Sean get talking to.

They both they both competitive at the end of the day, I mean, and they that's how they get on the same page. I mean, taxes may be fueling, but at the end of the day, as long as you're on the same page, you know you're good.

When you got an alpha and the alpha trying to figure things out, it's gonna get heated sometimes, but as long as it's coming out of there, you're gonna be all right. I saw that on the sideline. I said, Oh, I said, oh, fifty point game incoming. I said, I don't know. The world may not know, but if Sean Payton starts yapping and the quarterback starts yapping back, that means they're really about to go to get other and put something on, it's gonna get good.

Yea, yeah, yeah, the game will be really crazy, you know what I mean, really scary, right right, he.

Yea, yeah, yeah, the game will be really crazy, you know what I mean, really scary, right right, he.

Said, For those that don't understand, they don't understand, you know, the outside world, the Twitter, Twitter is gonna is gonna charge that thing up. But everybody who understands showing everybody stands a game, we're gonna be like, oh, like from from the class of you know, Saints two thousand and six to twenty twenty and whenever he left twenty one, when he left everybody was like, oh, yeah, that means that means the mad hatters back, They're gonna go ahead.

And everything straight, business.

And everything straight, business.

Man, But uh, you know, what is what are we five weeks? Five weeks into the season. You know you're already two time pro Boiler's clearly headed to your third Pro Bowl playing at such a high level. Mister, you know, strap him down. How is your game evolving from you know, years prior to this year, because it seems like you taking it to a whole nother level this year.

Mister, you know, strap him down. How is your game evolving from you know, years prior to this year, because it seems like you taking it to a whole nother level this year.

Yeah. I think experience plays a good factor into that.

Yeah. I think experience plays a good factor into that.

I mean, uh, you know, you know just as much as everyone you know what I mean, experience is a huge factor. It's definitely critical towards your game, being able to have the IQ to really go out there and slow the game down for you. And I think that's something that's been ingrained in my game so far, especially this year, honing in on film study, understanding offensive tendencies. I think the game has been crystal clear more than has ever been in my young career. But like I said, I look forward to really watch film and hone in on the opponent because you know, Lion of Scott don't lie at the end of the day and when you're really lock in and you prepare the right way, things go in the right direction for you. So I really believe that IQ experience, all those go hand in hand.

Absolutely, bro. I mean, it clearly pays off because you got guys like, you know, Christian Gonzalez saying that they model their game after you. Now, you know, like, how does like how do you how do you feel about that? Being you're still young, but you've had so much success and now you've got guys that look up to you already.

Absolutely, bro. I mean, it clearly pays off because you got guys like, you know, Christian Gonzalez saying that they model their game after you. Now, you know, like, how does like how do you how do you feel about that? Being you're still young, but you've had so much success and now you've got guys that look up to you already.

Now that's dope, man.

Now that's dope, man.

Me and Christian we talked a few years back before when he was entering the draft, and he's a great player in himself.

Me and Christian we talked a few years back before when he was entering the draft, and he's a great player in himself.

Obviously he's making players out there. It just seems natural to him.

Obviously he's making players out there. It just seems natural to him.

He's a ball hawk, he could run, So I've been a big fan of his game as well. But you know, hearing that a Munshap peers it means a lot because obviously you're doing something right at the end of the day when you hear that, And yeah, I'm just looking forward to continue success and I'm just building the building blocks towards a great season and helping the boys out.

My teammates for sure, Yes.

My teammates for sure, Yes.

Sir, yes, sir man. I mean, you know, we just got done playing uh, the Kan City Chiefs already turned the page. I'm trying to forget that game already. But we played Kent City. You know, that's an indivision party for you guys. What makes it so hard for, you know, to defend against Pat Mahomes versus other quarterbacks?

Sir, yes, sir man. I mean, you know, we just got done playing uh, the Kan City Chiefs already turned the page. I'm trying to forget that game already. But we played Kent City. You know, that's an indivision party for you guys. What makes it so hard for, you know, to defend against Pat Mahomes versus other quarterbacks?

I think.

I think.

With him being in that tight knit group with him, Kelsey obviously Andy Reid, I think that helps a lot because they obviously got a system going. But I want to say it's just a system. Like Mahomes is probably the most talented quarterback we haven't seen, uh in a while.

I mean, it's just it's just.

I mean, it's just it's just.

Crazy the throws he could make on a consistent basis, And like I said, no matter who's out there, as long as you got him back there, you're gonna win some ball games because like that's who he is, a true competitor, a true leader, and he's just out there making plays. But and I also think like him and Kelsey, that connection helps a lot too. That's been successful for a lot of years now and it's obviously still going on. But yeah, what makes them so successful is I don't think they changed the way they do. They stayed with the same regimen, the same program, and it always works out for him, you know me and I know people be like, man.

Why these guys can't be beat?

Why these guys can't be beat?

But like you see the simplicity and the things that they do, and they do at a high level, you understand why they be winning super Bowls and stuff like that.

But like you see the simplicity and the things that they do, and they do at a high level, you understand why they be winning super Bowls and stuff like that.

Man, Like they say, it takes what it takes. I still try and figure out that that that recipe of whatever it takes to get to the highest, highest platform being the super Bowl. But yeah, I mean, you know, we just got done playing them. It was like all those motions and they're only running a few plays out of all of that. You know, Like, so I get it. Look, but I'm trying to tell people, bro, Pat Mahomes is more elusive than you think he is. Like he may be he may may be built unathletically, but he's athletically gifted.

Yeah, it's acceptive, definitely deceptive.

Yeah, it's acceptive, definitely deceptive.

Bro. I've seen him out run some linemen. I said, look, I think I think I thought, I think I almost had him in the backfield and he sort of slipped out of there. Even when you hit him as he's falling, he's gonna let let go a laser. It's I mean, it's one of those quarterbacks. It's gonna be forever frustrating.

Yeah, it's gonna be fun straighted and at the party, like, man, you just gotta brush that one off off your shoulder, Like man, I ain't gonna lie.

Yeah, it's gonna be fun straighted and at the party, like, man, you just gotta brush that one off off your shoulder, Like man, I ain't gonna lie.

I don't know how made that happen.

But he's just one of those players, man, one of those quarterbacks that you know we're gonna talk about for years to come.

You know what I'm saying is all you need. That's what I've heard. I'm out here still fighting. We clamor for us, but you know, super Bowl in New Orleans. Bro, let's let's get out of NFL because at this point you know that that that things can lead to a bad road. I just lost to them, and I'm not I'm not excited about it. Like I'm already flipping the page headed towards Tampa Bay. Uh. Uh. I'm gonna say Gardner minshew, I'm sorry the Baker Mayfield and Tampa Bay.

Shoe, I don't know.

Shoe, I don't know.

It seemed like a century or something like that, I know, but yeah, I was pretty surprised by it. I was pretty shocked because we was we was definitely riding the high horse just from beating Georgia and right obviously that game you probably look at it as like a cupcake game, but obviously Vanderbilt intentions was clearly different. I just they they came out with the more urgency. Uh, there's more physical at the end of the day. And that's what it takes in football, the team that wants to more any given Saturday.

Twelve team playoff now, so I don't think that affects their chances at the end of the day.

Twelve team playoff now, so I don't think that affects their chances at the end of the day.

But I think I know what their standard is.

But I think I know what their standard is.

It just means a methodology is practice enough to where your routine gives you the best chance to succeed, right. And it's like, shout out to my dog who said that.
