Banking with Capital One helps you keep more money in your wallet with no fees or minimums on checking accounts and no overdraft fees. Just ask the Capital One Bank Guy. It's pretty much all he talks about in a good way. He'd also tell you that this podcast is his favorite podcast too. Oh really? Thanks Capital One Bank Guy. What's in your wallet? Terms apply. See capital1.com Bank Capital One NA Member FDIC okay, have you heard about this? Last year, Degree changed the formula for their Cool Rush deodorant and their fans rebelled and wanted the old scent back. And Degree listened. That doesn't happen often. They admitted they effed up and they're bringing back the original Cool Rush scent. They're bringing it back and it's exactly how you remember it. Cool, crisp and fresh. There's a reason it's the number one men's antiperspirant and it's back in Walmart, Target and other stores now for under four bucks. So try and see what the fuss is about. Head to your local Walmart or Target to try the OG Degree Cool Rush.

- [02:58]
Marlon Humphrey
Yeah, I mean, I did the standard, like I think I talked about it when we were on the show last week. The Strand is just like immaculate vibes in Hermosa Manhattan. And I have a couple friends with strand houses. So just. Yeah, just hanging out with Matt Stafford. Just did the walk down the Strand, like seeing everybody else rage and have a good time and just waving from afar because I've officially been pregnant for every holiday since Thanksgiving.
- [03:24]
Jason McIntyre
Wow.
- [03:24]
Marlon Humphrey
So that's been great.
- [03:25]
Jason McIntyre
All right, well, that's exciting. You know, you got a big summ bread, big summer. We're in the red zone.
- [03:29]
Marlon Humphrey
We're feeling good, we're feeling happy. Just hopefully she cooks for another week or two.
- [03:34]
Jason McIntyre
All right, we got Albert Brewer coming up in five minutes. He's jet setting as well. All these guys taking summer vacations. We're just work. We grind. All right, let me, let me quickly go. So a lot of NBA free agency has been decided. Not everything. Bradley Beal could still move. You've got big guy Jonathan Kuminga. I don't know if he's adjusting the odds of anybody, but we decided to come up with a J max six pack. As of now, the six pack of NBA teams that can win the championship next year. Now, as I was reminded this morning, if we had done this last year at this time, it would have been Boston Celtics 1 through 6. Everybody thought they were going to repeat. They had a loaded team. They just won the chip. I mean, they were absolutely stacked and didn't get out of the second round. So keep that in mind. No defending champ has gotten out of the second round since the KD Curry Warriors. Let's have the six pack. Let's get started with. I think we're starting with the Cleveland Cavaliers in the east mostly because they retain almost everyone on their team. They did lose. Ty Jerome, rotational guy had a good season. But when you keep the core garland coming off the toe injury in the. In the playoffs, Mobley Allen Mitchell is a good team. DeAndre Hunters now had will have a full season. Listen, I know Cleveland, it's tough to think of them winning a chip without LeBron. But guys, the pieces are there for sure. I think the Cleveland Cavaliers are one or two in the East. Let's go to the next team and that is the New York Knickerbockers. Yep. Do they still call them the Knickerbockers? Either way. So last year the Knicks added two new starters in Towns and Bridges. Obviously very difficult to dominate right out of the gate with two new starters. Well, now this year the Knicks will have a new head coach, but it looks like they're going to retain everyone else in the starting lineup. Added two guys to the bench. I, you know, listen, Mike Brown, I like him. If he plays his cards right and uses more bench and keeps his guys fresh for the postseason, I don't see why this isn't a 55, 6 win team, 60 win team. And I think they're top two in the east, maybe number one. And the Garden home court advantage would be sick in the postseason. All right, let's go to the west because nobody else is good in the East. And we're going to go Lakers. I know, I know. Got Jake. Mac, you're crazy. What are you doing? Well, let's see if they add Bradley Beal. They're for sure in the six pack and I'm going to put them here out of respect to, I don't know, two of the five best players in the league in Luka and LeBron. Oh, Jay, what happened against Minnesota? Well, I don't know. They had like 20 games together to work out the kinks. They had no center. Can we just take a deep breath and say, like they lost to the Timberwolves and nobody really saw it coming. They're going to be fine. The Lakers are certainly one of the six best teams in the league. Next up, Denver Nuggets. I like the offseason they've had. They are putting all their chips in. For now, Cam Johnson for Michael Porter Jr. Feels like a slight upgrade. Not a huge one because MPJ is a much better scorer. But I think Cam Johnson will be good. I like Bruce Brown coming back, getting off Russell Westbrook did. I think they added Tim Hardaway to. Yeah, Tim Hardaway. I, I, they, they've done a good job. And remember, Aaron Gordon was hurt in game seven with the ankle or maybe they beat okc. Next up, the Houston Rockets. I think they've won the off season more than anybody. I mean, they added Kevin Durant. Look at this. They added Clint Capella and they re added Dorian Finney Smith. Essentially the Rockets got better than anybody and they lost like nothing. Dylan Brooks and Jalen Green and a first round pick. I think you could look for guys like Reed Shepard to step up big time. I would not be surprised at all if Shengoon is an all star once again. Jabari Smith, less pressure. Amen Thompson, rising star. Houston's good. I think the team to beat in the West Houston Rockets in the J Max 6 pack. And I know you're waiting on one last team. OKC Thunder. I'm not gonna lie. I had for a moment Orlando in this spot over okc. Yeah, that's real. I could see Alex looking at me like, J. Mac, what's wrong with you? I'm just gonna remind you guys, SGA got paid. Chad Holmgren got paid there. It's a different mentality and mindset among the players. And history bears this out. If you haven't won the chip, haven't gotten paid, it's front. Front of office. That's a top priority. That's everything. Well, now they got the title. SGA's got all the accolades, he's got all the money. That hunger, desire is not quite there. Yes, they're young. Yes, they're probably going to win 50 to 60 games, maybe 62. I don't know that they're going to win the championship again. You guys can bet them. Go for it. I'm not doing that. So there's the J Max 6 pack heading into next season. Oh, my gosh.
- [08:23]
Marlon Humphrey
Who's doing these graphics for everyone listening, you guys, There is a photo of J. Mac on the screen.
- [08:29]
Jason McIntyre
That is so on brand. I'm in a tank top.
- [08:32]
Marlon Humphrey
In your sunglasses.
- [08:34]
Jason McIntyre
Yes. That's a good job. I think that's Trish or Scott. Shout out to those guys. All right, let's go to Albert Breer live from Nantucket. Yes, that is a fig. Look at that tan on this guy. Oh, my gosh. What are you doing this summer? Is it on a lobster boat? What's going on?
- [08:53]
Albert Breer
No, no, no. No lobster boat for me. But yeah, this is a couple weeks I shut it down and yeah, I. One of my few strengths, J. Mac, is my ability to tan. So everybody can see that on the screen now.
- [09:05]
Jason McIntyre
Yes, yes. Up close and personal. All right, before we get to NFL, I know you're a huge college football guy and Deion Sanders came out this week and essentially said, we need a salary cap in college football. So we went from like, players can't get paid five years ago to nil to salary. Like, it's exploding at A pace that I don't think anybody could have foreseen. Your Buckeyes are always big spenders, but when you hear salary cap in college football, that just. It just doesn't seem to make a ton of sense, does it?
- [09:36]
Albert Breer
I mean, I think I understand what Dion's saying, and I think what Deion's saying is a small version of a bigger topic that college coaches have been discussing for years now, which is we need guardrails. We need some sort of system that'll put rules in place that everybody has to play by that, you know, maybe isn't apples to apples from program to program based on what program you're at, but gives everybody a fighting chance. And, you know, I think if you're at a place like Colorado, which is not, you know, a blue blood at the level of Alabama or an Ohio State or a Texas, then it really does behoove you to have those sorts of guardrails in place and have some limits on how much you can spend. And so what'll be interesting about this, to me, at least, is two things. The first thing I think would be, you know, what this looks like with the nil piece, because even though there is that the revenue share that goes up to 20 million, you do have, like the other piece of it, which is nil. And are schools going to be able to spend above the 20 million in nil? How do you classify nil nil versus money that's coming from the school? Think all of that needs clarification, you know, and then I think the other one that's really obvious is whether or not they unionize. And, you know, forever and ever and ever, the NCAA has pushed back against any sort of. Any sort of thought that these guys would be classified as employees. But if you're going to put a salary cap in place, it would pretty much necessitate a collective bargaining agreement, which would necessitate unionization and making these guys employees.
- [11:12]
Jason McIntyre
So when you listen to Deion, it almost sounds like he's maybe losing out on recruits to, I don't know, the Texas Techs of the world. Here is audio of Deion talking about a salary cap need, Albert.
- [11:24]
LeVar Arrington
I wish it was a cap. You know, like the top of the line player makes this, and if you're not that type of guy, you know, you're not going to make that. This is what the NFL does. So the problem is you got a guy that's not that darn good, but he could go to another school and they give him a half a million dollars and you can't, you can't compete with that. That don't make sense. And all you have to do is look at the playoffs and see what those teams spent and you understand darn their why they in the playoffs. It's kind of hard to compete with somebody who's given 25, $30 million to during freshman class. Right. It, it, it's, it, it's crazy. It seems that pays the more, pays the most is going to be that it.
- [12:01]
Jason McIntyre
So, so again, just wrapping up on college football, do you think we will see one here in the next like five years or is there just too much layer? Like you mentioned the word union, that's insane for college football? Come on.
- [12:14]
Alex Curry
Yeah.
- [12:14]
Albert Breer
And I don't know how you solve it. And you know, once the genie got out of the bottle, I don't think there was any putting it back in. But I also don't know how you put enough rules in place to make it fair for everybody unless you turn the guys into employees. And then if you're going to put a cap on what employees can make, well, that needs to be negotiated with the employees, which would require the employees being in a union. So there's no easy answers here, J. Mac. I mean, it just sort of is what it is. And you know, I think there was an opportunity over the last 20 years for the NCAA, for the conferences to get ahold of this early and get in early and try to fix this early and create some sort of order and rules and guardrails and all of that stuff. And unfortunately there wasn't the leadership at the NCAA level with guys like Mark Emmert to do that. Those guys are more concerned with just collecting every check until the, until the, until the money train stopped rolling, you know, and so now everybody else is left to pick up the pieces. And I think it's, you know, again, it's sort of unpredictable which way that's all going to go.
- [13:22]
Jason McIntyre
All right, let's pivot to the NFL. The new quarterback show on Netflix debuted and it seems like Kirk Cousins is, I don't want to say a sympathetic figure, but I mean, you're laughing. I think a lot of people are like, who cares about this guy? He's made a lot of money. I keep going back to this when the first, when it first happened that they traded up for Pennix six weeks after signing cousins to 100 million guaranteed. It felt like, whoa, that's kind of dirty. Kirk Cousins, I feel like he was misled by Atlanta. Like if they had told him, yeah, we're drafting Pennocks, he probably would not assign there, right?
- [13:56]
Alex Curry
Yeah.
- [13:57]
Albert Breer
And I think like the, the quarterback show, he laid it out like as clearly as he's laid it out or I think anybody's laid it out, which is more or less that the Vikings wanted him to go year to year. And, and I think a lot of us knew this at the time and yeah, there was some reporting out there on this that he was looking for a multi year commitment from a team that beyond just the money, beyond just the guarantees, you know, a statement like this guy's going to be our quarterback for the foreseeable future. And that's reflected in the contract that we negotiated with him. And again, like the Vikings were through going through this process of resetting their roster of, of, of getting some of the older players out of there, getting younger key spots. You saw at the edge rusher position, for example, was a really good, a really good, really good example of that. Like where they move out to Neil Hunter and they bring in Andrew Van Ginkel and Jonathan Garnard and they draft Alice Turner. And so like the, the, the, the, the idea there was, well, yeah, Kirk, we're willing to bring you back, we're willing to pay you market value, but that does not mean we're not going to draft a quarterback we're picking higher than we plan to pick for some time. And you know, if the quarterback is there that we like, we're going to take them. And that means we can't guarantee that you're going to be the quarterback in 2025 and going forward we'll give you the job in 24. But that's really it. And the Falcons contract reflected that they were going to do more than that, that they were going to give him at least a couple years of Runway and that it was going to be his show. And so, you know, I think, you know, looking at that from an apples to apples perspective, you know, Kirk looked at it and said, okay, on one end I'm going to get at least two years and if I play well, more than that on the other end, this team's probably going to take a quarterback in the first round and I may be out after a year and looking for a new home again in 2025. So of course he took the first option, not knowing the two options that the two teams will wind up in very similar situations at the end. And I think the other thing you notice just, just listening to him talk and this is pretty obvious, is like he felt like the Vikings were very honest with Him. And because of that, the Vikings lost the quarterback. Right. Whereas if you go back and you look at it like he felt like the Falcons were wound up being a little bit dishonest, might be strong, but maybe misled him a little bit in the way they were going to handle the position.
- [16:15]
Jason McIntyre
Yeah. Let's go on to another story that just popped up. And you know, Jared Goff, a super nice guy, doesn't really rattle cages or say stuff. He kind of called the Rams. I don't know if it was McVeigh or the Rams organization immature for the way they handled his departure a couple years ago. I'm looking back, you know, with Jared Goff as a starter, he and McVeigh were doing awesome. They made the playoffs in three or four years, like it was a good run and they got to a Super Bowl. And then to kind of not give him more of like more than a one minute heads up that we're trading you. I don't know, did he deserve that? What's your read on how that kind of shook out? Yeah, I mean, I think, I think.
- [16:56]
Albert Breer
You know, if you listen to a lot of the stuff that Sean himself has said in the time since, he has a lot of regret from that. You know, he did go back and, and clear some of that stuff up and they have been able to re establish a relationship. I don't think it is what it was before and probably never will be, but I mean, it was to the point where, you know, a year after the trade, one of the first texts that Sean got was from Jared congratulating him on winning the Super Bowl. So, yeah, I think there was a lot of regret in the Rams organization on the way things were handled down the stretch in 2020 and into early 2021 with Jared Goff. And they wish they, they would have handled it better than they did. I also don't think that they anticipated that the opportunity to replace Jared Goff was, was going to come along as quickly as it did. If you remember that happened. That trade was agreed to now, couldn't be consummated till March, but that trade was agreed to at the end of January. And so it was, I mean, I believe less than two weeks after the Rams season ended. So everything kind of moved fast. And I do think the Rams have some regret over the way that they handled that. And as much as they, I think, have worked out their differences, I think you can see, you know, in the way that Jared's talking in the, in the documentary that he still feels a little stung by what went on.
- [18:17]
Jason McIntyre
Yeah, clearly anytime you get bounced that way, it's brutal now. I mean, he's done well in Detroit. I don't know if they backs up. Are you on board with the Lions probably backsliding a little bit this year?
- [18:28]
Albert Breer
Yeah, there's a lot that they're, There's a lot that they have to replace. Yeah. Yeah. I think Frank Ragnar is a really big boss. Like I, I know the amount they put on him to, to, to, to, to, to. To help run the show on offense and really help their young lineman. And from a leadership perspective, from a play perspective, he's really good. Now they have some answers at the position. Graham Glasgow, they draft Tate Ratledge out of Georgia. But to think that they won't take a little bit of a step back and what's been a massive stretch strength for them on that offensive line. Yeah, I think you'd, be, you'd be, you'd be fooling yourself at least a little bit not to think that they're, that they, that there's going to be at least some effects to losing Ragnow up front. Then the other obvious part is the coordinators, right. So can Kelvin Shepard be what Aaron Glenn was? Can John Morton be what Ben Johnson was? Those are high bars to clear for those coaches. On the flip side though, I think everybody needs to remember what the lines were at the end of the year. That was an incredibly banged up team. They were playing at an exceptionally high level when they were healthy and they were able to withstand losses of guys like Aiden Hutchinson and Ali McNeil on the defensive side of the ball. They were down to I think only three or four, like full time starters, like the guys they had planned to be their starters out there on that side, you know. So I think if you look at that and you figure they're not going to have as bad injury luck and they've still got so many young players that are ascending. You know, your guys like Jameson Williams and Jamir Gibbs and Brian Branch, you know, Aiden Hutchinson himself coming back off the injury, that those guys are still on the way up. They still should be really good even if they do take a step back.
- [20:11]
Jason McIntyre
I gotta ask you about the Kansas City Chiefs. I think when you do TV hits, you automatically have to talk Chiefs at some point. But Brett Veach made a, a curious comment about Travis Kelce and I think he was just being honest, but it kind of sounded like maybe he can see the end for Travis Kelce and like you could see him wear down, but he was Just being honest, I don't think it was a dig. But I'm curious as to your thoughts on, on Veach's comments on Kelsey.
- [20:40]
Albert Breer
Well, I mean he's turning 36.
- [20:41]
Jason McIntyre
Yeah.
- [20:42]
Albert Breer
You know what I mean? Like, so I think they, I, I think if you're, if you're being honest about it, like he's already that position by the way. Like, it's amazing he's made it as long as he has more tight ends wear the tag of injury prone than I think at any other position. And the reason why is because of how difficult that position is on your body. So the fact that he's made it this far is really, really remarkable. But yeah, they do have to, they do have to plan for, for what's next here. They did give Noah Gray a contract extension who's been his backup, who they drafted out of Duke a couple of years ago. And the offense is going to look a little bit different. I mean, I, I, the weird thing is J Mac, like I look at it like I think Travis Kelsey could take a step back and they still could be significantly better on offense than they were a year ago. And it's for a few reasons. I think their tackle situation will be better. I don't know what combination of Jalen Moore, Juwan Taylor and Josh Simmons will be out there tackle, but it should be better than what they were what they had at the end of the year last year, you know. And then Matt Nagy had this vision for the offense last summer that never came to life and it was Hollywood Brown and Xavier Worthy on the outside with Travis Kelce and Rashi Rice running through the space vacated underneath. Hollywood Brown got hurt start of the year. He wasn't available till December. Rashi Rice went down for the year about a month in. So you never got to see all that all together. Well, now you are going to get the chance to see it all together. And they think Rashi Rice has a chance to be one of the 10 best receivers in football and Xavier Worthy is coming back in his second year and Pacheco is healthy. So if you're better at tackle and you had this vision that come that, that, that you had drawn out last year, that comes to life this year. I think they actually have a chance to be better on offense than they were a year ago with the X factor of course, being Kelsey's age the same way I think the defense is going to be really good with the X factor being Chris Jones's age on that side of the ball.
- [22:41]
Jason McIntyre
Now listen, I'M glad you saved that hot take for that moment because I'm shocked right now. I haven't heard anybody say that. Everybody seems to think regression is coming, you know, because you're all.
- [22:51]
Albert Breer
You're all prisoners to the last thing you saw.
- [22:55]
Jason McIntyre
Not me, but other people probably. So that's interesting. A world where the Chiefs offense is better with everybody healthy and the offensive line maybe. Well, you're an Ohio State guy, right? You know, you know the guy that they drafted, right?
- [23:09]
Albert Breer
Yeah, I mean, like, Simmons is like. That's a devastating injury for like a big man. Like the. That's worse than a torn acl. What he went through the torn patellar tendon. And I don't think it was perfect at first, but since the Chiefs have had him, he's checked all the boxes and physically he's a freak. So the beauty of it for the Chiefs is they don't need him to start day one. If he wins the job, great. But they brought in Jalen Moore to play that position from the Niners, who had been a fill in for Trent Williams. They have Juan Taylor there who has been up and down but still has ability. So, like, they can kind of bring Josh Simmons along at his own pace. And, you know, he's got the ability to be a top shelf tackle. Somebody. Somebody there. Compared to Trent Williams, maybe that's a little bit over the top, but he does have a lot of ability.
- [23:58]
Jason McIntyre
All right, we'll wrap up with this. Is there any update on TJ Watt? There's reports out there that, like, the fan base is starting to get divided over what to do with their beloved TJ Watt. There's a report about someone, family member of someone in the organization venting. We can't pay him. What are you hearing out there?
- [24:18]
Albert Breer
I just think. I just think they're. I. I think there's too much mutual interest in getting something done for them not to be. Not for them not to get something done. The reason the Steelers went and got Aaron Rodgers is because with the core that they built, the core that they've been highly competitive with, but not at the top level with over the last four or five years, there may be a one or two year window left, and that's T.J. watt, Minka, Fitzpatrick, when he was still there before he got traded for Jalen Ramsey, which made them two years older than Cam Hayward's at the end. You know, with this group of players, it's about 20, 25, and I think that's part of what appealed about the situation to Aaron Rodgers is that he looks at it and says, everybody else is on my timetable here. These are my peers. We're going to go chase a championship together. So if that's where the Steelers are. And TJ Watt is at a point in his career where he has to go chase a like he knows the, that the clock's ticking a little bit, he has leverage over the Steelers and that they need him to be part of that vision, but it also behooves him to be part of that team, you know, and so I just think there's too much mutual interest for them not to get something done. I do think the contracts for Miles Garrett and Daniel Hunter and and Max Crosby done this offseason do complicate things a little bit. But at the end of the day, you know, I, the way I see it, at least like the two parties involved here have, have too much mutual interest not to find a way to get something done. I don't know if it'll be at the beginning of camp or right before week one, but I would think that they'll find some sort of way to work this out.

Jason McIntyre
Welcome back. Our number two here on the Herd. It's in gorgeous Friday morning in Los Angeles. It's me, Jason McIntyre in for Colin Cowherd. I did speak with the big guy yesterday. He is enjoying the burning embers of his summer vacation in parts unknown. I just like saying that because they used to announce a wrestling duo from parts unknown. I don't know if you guys remember that. Yes, I was a huge wrestling fan as a kid. I'm joined by Alec Curry, who I don't know. Were you a wrestling fan or no?
- [31:48]
Albert Breer
No.
- [31:48]
Marlon Humphrey
I will say now I appreciate the art of it because it is, it's, it's, it's art. It's acting. And I think when you look at it that way, like, it's not. You're like, oh, it's not real. It's like, oh, no, it's real. These are incredible athletes. But it's theater.
- [32:02]
Jason McIntyre
It's theater.
- [32:03]
Marlon Humphrey
It's theater. So you have to look at it like theater. And I was a big theater nerd as a thespian growing up. So like once I think I like equated it to that. I was like, oh, I get it. This is cool.
- [32:12]
Jason McIntyre
Jake the Sake Roberts, ultimate warrior names.
- [32:15]
Marlon Humphrey
I know the Rock. I love Dwayne the Rock Johnson. He's like my fave.
- [32:18]
Jason McIntyre
Yeah, it seems like a nice guy. All right, coming up here in like six minutes. Holy cow, we got an all pro NFL quarterback, Marlon Humphrey from the Ravens. You know there's a new ranking out the best secondary in the League belongs to the Ravens. Interesting the way they're building it, but we'll talk to Marlon Humphrey soon. I want to go here. They love to do a good list on this show. They travel well online, so they came up with J. Mac. We need a six pack of teams that can win the super bowl and there's a couple obvious ones we'll get to. I could only find two in the AFC and four in the NFC. So here's my six teams as of right now, early July 2025. Who can win the 2026 Super Bowl? Let's start with that. San Francisco 49ers. They had a terrible year last year, but it was due to injury. Now they Brandon Iuk should be back. Although I'm seeing one report he may not start week one. We'll see. But Iuk should be a factor when he returns. Obviously the young fellow they drafted last year, Christian McCaffrey comes back. Trent Williams still breathing. I think this is going to be a great team. The schedule is the great determinant with the Niners. Easiest by far in the league. They only face three playoff teams from last year. They don't face any of the top five quarterbacks in the league. Folks. The Niners are a Super bowl contender. I would say a minimum of 12 or 13 wins. Next up, my pick to win the super bowl next year, the Buffalo Bills. They've been knocking on the door for a few years. Josh Allen, obviously tremendous. They came up a little short in the playoff game in Kansas City. We will not re litigate the terrible officiating in that one. Obviously Buffalo had some self inflicted wounds trying to pull off the tush push, brotherly shove, whatever you want to call it, repeatedly. And it failed. The Bills did add Joey Bosa. Not a bad pickup. Josh Palmer from the Chargers, Tridavius White. Not sure what he can give you as like a nickel dime cornerback, but they also have a very favorable schedule and they've won the last five AFC east titles. Wow, I did not realize that. It's been a while for my jets the the third team. I think they win the super bowl next year. Bit of a dart throw here. Washington Commanders. So instantly I get pushback. Well, the Texans had a good first year with CJ Stroud. Then they fell back a little. Still made the playoffs. I thought Washington adding Laramie Tunsil and Debo Samuel was just a stroke of genius. I think there's a really good team. I think they'll push the Eagles in the NFC East. They're vastly superior to the Cowboys And Giants and you just you look at the continuity. Kept their head coach, kept both coordinators. Terry McLaurin's holdout should be done here shortly. Folks. I know they got slaughtered by the Eagles in the NFC Championship game. They will be much better. That win over Detroit in the playoffs, I mean did Jaden Daniels making the leap in year two? I'm bullish on Washington. I think they could win the Super Bowl. Team number four yes, you got to go for the Philadelphia Eagles. They are favored to repeat. I do think it'll be a challenge. I would not bet them to repeat. Offensive line is formidable. Saquon Barkley coming off a heavy usage year scares me a little bit. You know I have Jalen Hurts as the fifth best quarterback in the NFL. They did lose their offensive coordinator. They lost Makai Becton, Josh Sweat, Brandon Graham, Darius Slay, C.J. gardner, Johnson. That's like six starters gone. But the Eagles are going to certainly be an 11 win team and there's just too much talent not to be in the super bowl discussion. Next up. Yes siree the LA Rams they are really the arrow is super duper pointing upward for them. They had the best off season according to one report. You know they grade the moves One one report had the Rams having the best offseason. Adding Devonte Adams certainly helps they lose Cooper cup but Devonte Adams and Puka, that is pretty impressive. And their drafts the last couple years between Puka, Jared Verse, Fisk, they've just hit home run after home run is a really really good team. If the offensive line holds up they should make the NFC Championship. Finally my final team of the six pack that can win the Super Bowl. And it's not just because he's coming up as a guest here but Baltimore Ravens number one secondary in the NFL. Obviously the Lamar Jackson a Derrick Henry combination is just filthy. You have to love adding Jair Alexander as like a dime cornerback. They got him on the cheap. Malachi Starks should form the best safety duo in the league. I know he's only a rookie but he and Hamilton should be really formidable on the back end if the wide receivers can stay healthy. I mean listen, if Mark Andrews doesn't drop a two point conversion, I don't know. Are the Ravens in the in the Super Bowl? Do they beat the Chiefs on the road? This is a really really good team. The Ravens will certainly be there. Can Lamar deliver in January? That's the big question. So those are my six teams that can win the Super bowl. The J Max 6 pack they love this photo and look at the jets on a dinghy. Is that what that is?
- [37:40]
Marlon Humphrey
A dinky, an inner tube, a safety tube? Whatever, someone goes overboard, you toss it to them.
- [37:47]
Jason McIntyre
Yeah, basically the jets are overboard for a good 15 years now. Be sure to catch live editions of the Herd weekdays at noon Eastern 9am Pacific.

Jason McIntyre
All right, let's get to our guest, Marlon Humphrey joining the herd. The all pro cornerback from the Baltimore Ravens, college football legend. What's up, man? How you doing?
- [42:06]
Alex Curry
Nothing much, feeling good. Enjoying the last couple days before I gotta start the real world, so. I'm feeling good.
- [42:12]
Jason McIntyre
Yeah. Let me ask you, what was the summer like? I mean you. You've been on a hiatus. Did you go travel the world? Were you just grinding on football? What was going on?
- [42:23]
Alex Curry
A lot of golf, a lot of. A lot of less sleep nights. I just had a. Well, not just sad, but got a six month old now.
- [42:31]
Albert Breer
Oh, congrats.
- [42:32]
Alex Curry
So it's been a different off season. Definitely not my norm. But I just got into golf, so golf's been great. Football training and then a lot of family time and we just got. Had a family vacation, so it's really good. But it's been great. Life has been really good.
- [42:51]
Jason McIntyre
Real quick on the golf, I. I find golf a little slow. You Know, I like the up, more up tempo stuff. How do you handle that transition? Football's fast and powerful and golf is just like taking it easy.
- [43:04]
Alex Curry
Yeah. I became a member of the country club that doesn't have a crazy ton amount of members. So people are going too slow. I just leave that hole. Go to skip around a lot of different holes. So I've made it kind of as fast as I, I don't know if I'm allowed to do that. So honestly I might be telling on myself, but I've made it a little bit faster. But that is sometimes the bad thing of golf. It takes, it can take some time. There's some slower players and I feel like if you're not, you're gonna be a slower player. You at least got to be good. And most people that are slow are not good. So that needs to be a new rule for sure.
- [43:38]
Jason McIntyre
I hope your wife likes it when you say, hey, I'll be back in five hours. I'm going to play golf. My wife doesn't. Anyways, let's get to the NFL aspect. So Pro Football Focus recently ranked the secondaries in the league and you guys are number one. A, is that a surprise, B, obvious. And C, you know, a lot of defenses these days, Marlon, are building. Hey, you just need edge rushers. Let's start there. Cornerback is secondary safety and linebacker. Forget it. But you guys are kind of built different from the back end.
- [44:06]
Alex Curry
Yeah, I think for me, Honestly, we were 32nd last year. I believe last in the league. So for us to be ranked number one does not really mean anything to me. I just would love to not be last. I would love to be number one. That would be amazing. But I'm really focused on what we just did last year. We got essentially most of the same guys returning. So I would love to finish number one. That'd be great. But I do know right now the only thing on my mind is we were the 32nd ranked and that was. That's, that's not cool. And that's just not very good. So I'm trying to fix that before we even think about being number one.
- [44:47]
Jason McIntyre
Toughest quarterback you faced last season?
- [44:53]
Alex Curry
Oh, the toughest quarterback I faced last season would probably.
- [45:01]
Jason McIntyre
I mean, he faced a lot of good ones.
- [45:02]
Alex Curry
That's a. Oh, Joe Burrow. Joe Burrow. I don't even know. Yeah, Joe Burrow. A surprising second even though we ended up winning that game. But I felt we caught them on the earlier end. Jaden. Jaden Daniels.
- [45:16]
Jason McIntyre
What?
- [45:17]
Alex Curry
We caught them pretty early on, but I just remember, I'm like, man, for his. Gotta be a rookie. He's, he was just so poised, so smooth. Seemed like he never was really phased, honestly. So I think from a young, young talent perspective, he, he's, I mean, he already is a, is a star, but he was, he's pretty good.
- [45:36]
Jason McIntyre
Interesting. So no mention of Josh Allen there. I don't know. Buffalo fans are gonna take that as a slight. Or did you, you know, it was Josh Allen easier to prep for?
- [45:46]
Alex Curry
No, I think they, their game. Well, going up, their playoff game plan, it just was a pretty, it was a playoff game plan, I felt. And they didn't really have him do anything crazy that they didn't need to do. They were, I thought their game plan was really good against us and they just kind of kept us on our heels and we, we just couldn't really, we couldn't really make the plays we needed to make. I think you, you see more. I feel like you see a little bit more from a quarterback in a bad way when they score a lot of points on you and either you're ahead and they're trying to come back and the quarterbacks really got to just full blown carry the team. But Josh Allen by far managed the game. Yeah, that playoff game in just a great way. And I, obviously they beat us and you know, we played Jalen Hurts, but that was another to me, a simple, simpler game plan. And so there was. We played a lot of good quarterbacks, but the ones that seem like, yo, this guy's pretty good, obviously Joe Burrow and then Jada.
- [46:41]
Jason McIntyre
Yeah, let me quickly, you mentioned playoffs, so I'll ask about it. Listen, you guys have had some tough endings to the season. Obviously, you know, the, the, the loss in Buffalo was just brutal. I'm just curious what, what's the mood like after that? Because every season you guys go in thinking we got a shot at the super bowl and then to come up short again. I don't know what was the vibe like? Do you remember that day pretty closely?
- [47:08]
Alex Curry
It's not the best. I think it was a lot of uncertainty. I felt for myself, for some of the other guys, didn't know if they'd be around the next year, including myself. And so there's, there's a lot of uncertainty. Obviously. You know, teams change every single year. Felt that you had a really good roster at the time. So, yeah, it was just a lot of uncertainty. It was a lot of, you know, kind of what happened, you know, what did we do wrong here? But it was definitely you know, obviously every year, if you don't win super bowl, it's a. You didn't get the objective. But over my past eight years, it was definitely a. Definitely a different feeling of just. It was just different. You know, I don't know if it was because we thought we had a good team or what, but if I had to put into words, it would be just a lot of uncertainty.
- [47:58]
Jason McIntyre
Yeah. I don't know if Lamar is a golfing partner, but I'm sure you get this a lot. Hey, man, when is Lamar gonna carry you guys? One day in January. And I know when is a team loses a team, but he has had some playoff games where he hasn't been MVP caliber. What do you say to people when they. When they ask you about. Or maybe nobody asked you about this? I don't know.
- [48:20]
Alex Curry
Especially I. I don't get asked that too often. I think I, you know, as a player, I don't really see it as a just quarterback only type stat. I know that's kind of how it is. It's all about, you know, the quarterback got. But I usually focus on, you know, how can we help, how can we play better, how can we win the game? On defense, there's been a lot of past Baltimore Ravens defenses that have, you know, led teams. All I know is that the biggest stat is, you know, we haven't really had. I think we've had one turnover and all of Lamar's playoff games. So I know it's all about the quarterback, but, you know, when you look at the numbers, you look at the stats, you look at the reality. The Baltimore Ravens defense hasn't really helped out at all or even done their part to win some of these playoff games. And that's kind of the biggest focus on us in the defensive room this offseason. And that'll be the focus in training camp, practice, and it'll translate to games.
- [49:12]
Jason McIntyre
A little inside football, but the Jair Alexander edition. Does this change anything for you? Do you prefer playing on the inside, outside? Does it matter?
- [49:20]
Alex Curry
Or.
- [49:20]
Jason McIntyre
Or. Because the secondary is pretty stacked right now.
- [49:24]
Alex Curry
Yeah, yeah, it didn't matter to me. I was super excited to. To add him to the. To the squad. I. I actually tried to hit him up on Instagram, but he deleted his Instagram. So I was like, scrambling get his number. And then by the time I even could get it, I see him in the building, so I'm like, all right, sweet. And I. I talked to him, and I'm just super excited. We got a lot of great players in our secondary this year. I think the way we want to play, who plays where, matchups, we put, you know, all our best guys on the field. I'm just super excited. I think you just can't go wrong adding a guy like that. And so I'm really excited for this year's secondary and excited for us to just make a lot of plays and hopefully he'll. He'll help, like I said, with getting those turnovers in the playoffs. You've done it before and I look forward to doing it again.
- [50:11]
Jason McIntyre
Let me quickly ask you, I noticed you played in 2015 at Alabama on a loaded team with Derrick Henry. Is that the most dominant team you've ever been on or was there a Ravens team you felt that was more dominant? Because you guys. I'm looking at the results 2015, you guys just eviscerated almost everybody.
- [50:31]
Albert Breer
We.
- [50:33]
Alex Curry
Yeah, it would be. It would be hard. I have been on the number one defense in the NFL, but that Alabama team was just next level. I think everyone on the starters ended up getting drafted into the NFL. You were freaking giving the ball at Derrick Henry 40 times a game. Nobody could stop it. So it was honestly pretty crazy to look back on that team. And you know, obviously the next year we end up losing a Clemson, but it would have been great to repeat. But that, that, that 2015 team, it was just, it was just loaded. And I don't. I don't know if they'll. That domination is. Can only be done really at the college level. But that was, that was a great year.
- [51:16]
Jason McIntyre
Yeah. All right. We could wrap up. You. You got a movie. Nothing but a Winner. It's a documentary. Tell us about it being part of the process. What's that been like? And. And any comparisons to football.
- [51:28]
Alex Curry
Yeah, so it was great. I am executive produced. Nothing but a Winner. Me and my sister. She's an actress in la. It was a great opportunity that got presented to me and I was able to be a part of it and kind of have inputs here and there and different things. It's basically just about, you know, the history of two great coaches at that happen to be at the University of Alabama. Some of the wins, some of the, you know, ugly losses. The kick six for my Auburn fans out there. Tune in to see the hat and you know, kind of how Bama came up part to be, you know, with segregation and different things. First, you know, athlete, African American athlete at the university. So a lot of different things going on with it, but it's just basically a documentary about just Greatness, our form, the process of it, all the great things that kind of is in the rich history of Alabama football and just winning coaches, that's the biggest thing is you can take away whether you're Alabama fan, not Alabama fan. It's just really a documentary about just something great and it'll be out soon and it'll be. It'll be really good.
- [52:33]
Jason McIntyre
Yeah, it sounds like July 31st in theaters. Congrats on that. I'm curious. A lot of people look to set themselves up for a post career. You just turned 29, so you got a ways to go, but is Hollywood where you want to go next? Or, you know, a lot of guys transition to the media or you could, you know, do what Cam Newton's doing and just start a podcast and try to go rabble rouse that way. What do you think? In post career.
- [52:58]
Alex Curry
I had a lot of different thoughts. Media was one. You know, Hollywood would be. Would be awesome if I, if I chose that route. There's, you know, that's something I kind of think about. You know, obviously you do football for a long time and you're. You kind of figure out what do you want to do after. There's so many different ways you can go. But I would love to. You know, I always wanted to direct a movie. I always wanted to play in a movie. So I've always wanted to do something around that space. Maybe not full time, but the cool thing about all that is that's something you can do and do something else. But media, Hollywood, all those things are kind of things that interest me. It just. We'll just have to see when. What happens when I, When I retire, what the wife says, you know, she'll. She'll always have a big part in that. I wish I could be a pro golfer. If I could do that, I would. That'd be the biggest one.
- [53:44]
Jason McIntyre
But no way.
- [53:45]
Alex Curry
I missed too many reps when I was 6, 7, 8 years old. You can't get back. And so the best I could do now is maybe break 80 one day in my life and I'll consider that my Super Bowl.
- [53:56]
Jason McIntyre
Hey, let me ask one more thing. I just was watching those highlights and I thought about something. So Travis Hunter is coming into the league as an elite cornerback and wants to play both ways. I'm assuming in high school you were playing both ways and dominating. But Marlon, my big thing, the second he said this, I was like, okay, so you got to play the Ravens. So you got to go tackle Derrick Henry in space, then go to the sideline and come back on and run a bunch of pass. That's impossible. How on earth is he going to be able to do this? And I'm just curious your thoughts on. On. Did you play two ways in high school and yeah. Is this mission impossible for Travis Hunter?
- [54:31]
Alex Curry
I think, you know, he is very talented. I think he's me watching. I think he's a really, really elite DB based off the, you know, a couple games I saw this past year. But to do both, it seems very Mission Impossible esque. You know, I think Dion obviously did a little bit of it, you know, back in his day, but I just think the game has changed so much since then. Dion was clearly light and day the fastest guy out there. Nowadays, everybody's fast. You know, I think of Jason Kelsey, that dude's running up on you just as fast as the dagum receiver tight end. So I think he's really got a tough challenge ahead. I think eventually he will realize, man, it's really, really hard to do this at a high level where every week you're playing a top NFL team. It's not like college where you know, there is teams on everyone's roster where it's like, this should be a pretty easy game. And that's just not the case in the NFL. And I, I think he'll, I, I hope he has success with it and I hope he just decides it's just too much for me as opposed to, you know, he kind of struggles with it, but I definitely think he has the ability to do it. But I more just think the stamina to do it. I don't know if anyone has that to do it for a full NFL season.
- [55:48]
Jason McIntyre
You played with Derrick Henry in college. Now he's your teammate. Have you, I'm just curious, have you ever tackled him? What's, what the hell is that like?
- [55:57]
Alex Curry
The problem is he's so tall a lot of times, so if you go low, he, his knee will actually hit your head. And it's, it's a lot. He's this stuff, got a tackle. He's somehow, I don't know how he gets stronger and faster in the fourth quarter while everyone else seems to be fatiguing. And I think that gives him a lot of his advantage. But his exception, speed. He's so tall, he's getting on the edge faster than what you think. And if you, if you don't go now, it's, it's bad and it's stiff arm, it'll throw you around, but it's rough. It's something at the corner. You think, I shouldn't be doing this. I don't want to do this. The linebacker D line should be doing this. But when you do, got to do it. You gotta, you gotta run your feet. Try not to close your eyes and try to get them down.

Alex Curry

All right. Marlon Humphrey, who's a budding golfer. Who knew? I had no idea. But I hope Travis Hunter was listening. Did you, I mean, did you hear, did you see the reaction, Alex? He almost started laughing. He's like, yeah, that's mission impossible.

Alex Curry
It's hard.

Marlon Humphrey
I mean, again, like, you, you, you never want to deter someone from reaching a crazy goal that we've never seen before. I mean, people laughed at Shohei Ohtani when he said he was going to be a power hitter and an ace pitcher. Obviously, it's way different on your body, baseball compared to football. But again, don't knock it until you, until you try it. I, I think that's kind of. Most players reactions are going to be what Marlon's reaction was, but again, he's very impressed. Producer golfer. Like, like, that was a good interview.

Jason McIntyre
Yeah, I'm pretty fun.

Colin Cowherd
Okay. Have you heard about this? Last year, Degree changed the formula for their Cool Rush deodorant, and their fans rebelled and wanted the old scent back. And Degree listens. That doesn't happen often. They admitted they effed up and they're bringing back the original Cool Rush scent. They're bringing it back, and it's exactly how you remember it. Cool, crisp, and fresh. There's a reason it's the number one men's antiperspirant, and it's back in Walmart, Target, and other stores now for under four bucks. So try and see what the fuss is about. Head to your local Walmart or Target to try the OG Degree Cool Rush for yourself.

Jason McIntyre
The Democratic nominee for president will be someone that has been out there and has shown that they won't allow themselves to be punched and just say thank you. Like, they will punch back.
