Herm Edwards on football passion, Arizona State gig, Jets' tenure, Miracle at the Meadowlands & defensive back evolution

Herm Edwards is a football lifer with loads of wisdom to pass along which he has done for years as a coach and continues to share on this episode as our latest guest (33:00)! But first, P2 and BMac chop it up on Vikings OTAs and react to Minnesota's 2021 regular season schedule (1:30). Which game does P2 have circled already? We think you may know the answer. Coming off an incredible performance last week, the namesake of 'Has Pat Heard!?' attempts to continue his hot streak (11:45). '7 Questions' takes a look at WR matchups Pat P is looking forward to this season and he retells a story involving one of his early battles with Calvin Johnson (24:30). We need to add to our secondary with someone who played the position and coached the position. Former defensive back and current Arizona State head football coach Herm Edwards joins hosts Patrick Peterson and Bryant McFadden to discuss everything from his playing days to coaching days (33:00). Herm fills the guys in on his style as a player and how corners have evolved through the years. He also breaks down the most famous play of his career, known as 'The Miracle at the Meadowlands' to Eagles' fans and simply as 'The Fumble' to Giants' fans. Edwards describes his interest and influences in coaching with credit to guys like Tony Dungy, Dick Vermeil and Marty Schottenheimer. While an assistant in Tampa, he had the opportunity to coach Ronde Barber and speaks to why he deserves to be in the Hall of Fame. Coach details his first opportunity at a head job with the Jets, getting traded to the Chiefs and stresses the importance of having a good quarterback. Why are we seemingly not making much progress when it comes to hiring more diverse coaches? That subject is tackled by the guys before they get into the Sun Devils, assessing the feedback around Herm's hire, his confidence heading into Year 4 with the program and what his future in coaching holds.
