I'm your host, Jake McDonald and it's my absolute pleasure to bring you my reaction as a rugby player to this man who could play, well, basically any contact sport he wants, including most probably well, the greatest contact sport of all, mixed martial arts. But for now, we're going to focus on his defense in the world of American football. And you know, I'm going to say that American football as a whole is violent. It is. It's aggressive. It is, you know, man against man, the strongest, the fastest, the fittest, well, probably not the fittest, but the strongest and fastest. And you know, the collisions are so extreme that there is a quote that always comes to mind now. And I've heard it multiple times. And that is that if you play American football, and look, I've heard this about rugby too, if you play American football, there is one guarantee. If you make it to the NFL as a professional NFL footballer, there is one guarantee you will get injured. And it's the same in rugby. So it's guys like this that have absolutely zero regard for their own body and their own safety that tend to cause injuries, possibly more so than other defenders, other players. Now I am the first to say that I hate to see an injury on the field. I wouldn't wish, you know, a game ending injury on a person, let alone, you know, something like a season ending injury. But it seems as if with the aggression and the way that this guy plays, he is wishing an injury on every single player, every single snap that he plays. And, and you know, to have a guy like this on your team, on the defense has got to make you feel pretty damn good if nothing else. But there is one situation that I can imagine happening that I hope doesn't. And that is when two defenders are going in trying to tackle the, you know, the guy with the ball and, you know, unfortunately, possibly the guy dukes them out the last second, maybe hurdles, maybe does whatever, but the two defenders end up, you know, actually colliding with each other, which is not the intended result. But it happens at times. And I tell you what, there's one defender that I would not want to be colliding with on my own team. And that's Jamal Adams. Anyways, guys, that is more than enough from me. It's time to get into the video. It's three minutes and 25 seconds long. He's had 235,000 views. The video has almost been out for two weeks. It is time we roll the intro and crack into it. Let's go. Adams is a lot of guys just focused on the sack with Jamal Adams. He goes for the ball. Now I did hear. I did hear something about him and his latest deal with the Seahawks. Apparently he was presented with a deal which required him to take somewhat of a pay cut, but he wasn't prepared to do it. He called their bluff and apparently got paid anyway. So we're going to look at that. There's a lot of consistency in this top 35. He just wanted to be the best. There we go. Okay. So he doesn't have a problem turning his own horn, but I tend to think he's putting a stat like this up because he feels disrespected. He's putting it up to remind people, you know, exactly what I have done, possibly in a time where he's not being talked about. And I suppose in the world of American football, in the world of NFL, when you're playing for that next deal, yeah, I can't blame him. Jamal Adams comes from the other side and tracks Kim Newton down from behind. Adams made good on his guarantee against Kim Newton. Yes, boy. Kim Newton, is he looking back at him? He's like, shit. He's looking straight at him. He's like, man, are you serious? How'd you get me? I would love to see the expression on Newton's face right now. Jamal Adams gets a sack, adding to a sort of gear, eat and a half sacks. I was going to do the war and sap dance. I told everybody I was going to break the record. People thought I was crazy, but the only thing that mattered is that I believe in myself. So he does have a sack record. All right, let's look up his stats. He is still only 25 years of age. That's ridiculous. Six foot one, 97 kgs, pick number six in the first round of the 2017 draft from LSU to the Jets, now at the Seahawks. He's made three Pro Bowls in a row, runs a 456 40 yard dash, benches 225 pounds for 18 reps, unfortunately got, well, look, I won't go there. All right, so we went to the Seahawks on July 25, 2020, prior to the start of the season, in exchange for safety Bradley McDougald, first and third round picks in the 2021 draft and a first round selection in the 2022 draft. So that's quite a lot. Made his debut with the Seahawks in week one against the Falcons ended up playing 12 games in total for 83 combined tackles, 59 solo, 24 assisted, and 9.5 sacks, which must be the record. And it is the most sacks in a single season by a defensive back in NFL history. And it seems as if he did know eventually he was going to get there. He started with two, two sacks in 2017, 3.5 in 2018, six and a half in 2019, and nine and a half in 2020 in 12 games, not bad at all. And speaking of his deal, on August 17, he signed a four year deal with the Seahawks. Adams deal consists of a top value of 72 million with a 20 million signing bonus and 38 million guaranteed, making him the highest paid safety in NFL history. I know there was a story on that. Let's try and figure it out. The 17.5 million per year average in new money blasts past the Broncos Justin Simmons's 15.25 million as the highest among all safeties. Landon Collins is the only safety to have received more guaranteed money in a single deal, but that came on a six year deal, not a four year deal. Okay, so there was a lot of, a lot of worry. I think maybe he wasn't, maybe his, his representatives, his manager wasn't, while much consternation characterized contract talks or reported lack thereof. So they weren't, so he was entering the final year of his rookie contract. He was going to earn 9.86 million. And in the end, they did snap him up. They did pay him a lot more than what he was slated to earn. Deal is done. And Adams followed his, followed with his return to practice on Tuesday afternoon. So maybe he wasn't going to team practices or team meetings because his deal had not been finalized, which sounds, I don't know, slightly immature. But at the end of the day, there is a quote here and he says, I believe in myself and I believe in what I can do on the football field. All I needed was somebody to believe in me and those guys upstairs, they believed in me. Adams said on Tuesday and they took a chance and all I can do is just continue to produce and continue to work my tail off and win ball games, man. There was never any question the Seahawks were prepared to make Adams the highest paid safety in the NFL. It was continually reported that that would ultimately be the case. The bigger question was the guarantees and pay structure. And look, as he, as he said that, that's an issue for the guys upstairs and his management team. But apparently the deal is done. He'll be a Seahawk for the next four years and he's number 31 on the list. He's good coming up on the blitz. He's able to bend, dip under, almost look like Von Miller. You don't see that with the safety. There's a reason why you give up two first round draft choices for a guy like that. A lot of times you don't see teams. He's big lineman, man. Yeah, it's not going to be easy to keep Adams out of there in the safety that much. There ready to be somebody that's accounting for 33 coming off the edge. And you've got to have, unless they do a quit in Nelson and sprawl, have a plan for how you're going to block him in every scheme that you run and every pass play that you run every play action. He is, he's on his, he's on the ball, isn't he? He's on the balls of his feet, literally, unlike a, you know, basketball play, you know, side to side, staying alive, staying on the balls of your feet so he can react and, and get to that quarterback. And looking at the quarterback, lack thereof of, of helmet strap. That helmet's coming off, mate. By Dunlap, and now he gets hammered down as Adams catches up to him. What did he add to your defense? A lot of energy. I will say that from the day he walked into the building, he juiced us up. He likes to talk, he's the high energy. I love playing against guys like that. That makes me want to go harder. 99! I want you to match that energy! Where you at? Match that energy! He's not afraid of me. A six foot, hang on, hang on, hang on. That's why there's weight classes in the UFC. Someone who's six foot and 220 pounds doesn't take on someone who's six foot six and 280. It just doesn't happen. So to see him take on Chase Young like that, he's got some balls. You're a match that energy! Where you at? Match that energy! He's not afraid to let you know that he's out there. He's like, really? Really? You're saying that to me right now? You're really saying that to me right now? You're just lucky we're both defensive players. In his first playoff game, I want to be too happy because I want people to say he's been here before. I tell you what, is that considered a sack? Because if it is, actually no. No, he hands the ball off, doesn't he? What a play. Uses every single ounce of his speed and cuts him down right with death. I don't want to be too happy because I don't want people to say- Look at that. That's what we call an ankle tap. He hasn't been there before. You damn right I haven't been there before. So damn it! It feels good! The Seahawks can celebrate. Which champions? NFC West champs. Keep it playing at all times. God bless y'all. And that's a championship sweater, I gotta say. His speed is just tremendous, man. And as far as championship personalities go, Zadaria Smith back on screen. But we're going to have to wait until the next video. We're looking at a running back next, which peaks my interest. And I hope it peaks yours too. Guys, thank you for watching. I know I talk a lot in these videos. I know I go off on tangents, but at the end of the day, I'm just trying to entertain. I'm trying to bring a selection of stats. I'm trying to bring a selection of my opinions and thoughts. Plus a selection of highlight clips to each and every one of these videos. And all I can say is I hope you enjoy. If you have, hit the like button. If you want to subscribe, please do.
