I'm really I'm excited. I'm yeah, I'm excited 0:01:04.800 --> 0:01:06.520 to see, you know, and the way that can the 0:01:06.520 --> 0:01:10.120 Cowboys do things, you know, with game productions and things 0:01:10.160 --> 0:01:12.080 like that. I'm very interested to see what kind of 0:01:12.200 --> 0:01:14.720 you know, it's a league it's a league deal. It's 0:01:14.760 --> 0:01:17.039 a league event. But you know, the Cowboys will have 0:01:17.040 --> 0:01:19.880 a little have a little saying like, hey, once you 0:01:19.920 --> 0:01:22.400 try this, once you try that, and hopefully everybody but 0:01:22.520 --> 0:01:27.080 should be a good three days in the area. A spectacle. 0:01:27.440 --> 0:01:29.880 It will be a spectacle. We'll be here, We'll be 0:01:29.880 --> 0:01:32.160 in this little room for three days. Say it's not 0:01:32.160 --> 0:01:35.240 gonna look a whole lot different. Yah, we'll hunker down. Well, 0:01:35.319 --> 0:01:36.960 we'll go through all the picks with you, as we'll 0:01:36.959 --> 0:01:40.080 always do picks one through a two fifty two or 0:01:40.280 --> 0:01:44.080 two fifty six, whatever number we have the next event 0:01:44.120 --> 0:01:46.759 on the schedule. And I do want to get into 0:01:46.760 --> 0:01:48.920 this because I think it's important. The Combine list came 0:01:48.920 --> 0:01:53.320 out yesterday, Dane Burglar, and I'm always interested about the 0:01:53.360 --> 0:01:56.360 guys that, uh, you know, of course, you know you're 0:01:56.520 --> 0:01:58.360 you're gonna get What was the total number of guys 0:01:58.400 --> 0:02:00.800 that we got for the combine this year to twenty 0:02:00.880 --> 0:02:03.440 or three twenty six, three twenty six, And give me 0:02:03.480 --> 0:02:06.920 the number of the guys that that that don't go 0:02:07.160 --> 0:02:10.239 and get drafted. What was that number? Over the last 0:02:10.360 --> 0:02:15.760 five years, the averages thirty five players about thirty five 0:02:15.760 --> 0:02:18.520 players get drafted every year that aren't good and then 0:02:18.520 --> 0:02:22.040 they're one hundred and ten players that go get drafted. 0:02:22.080 --> 0:02:24.840 Let me focus on the guys that are gonna go. Okay, 0:02:24.919 --> 0:02:28.880 I'll focus on those guys. Wow, you know, because it's 0:02:28.880 --> 0:02:31.200 a third of the guys that are going to be there. Yeah, 0:02:31.280 --> 0:02:36.320 and they this nfs Uh, they'd say their goal is 0:02:36.360 --> 0:02:40.880 to invite everybody who's going to be drafted that's there. Yeah. Uh? 0:02:41.040 --> 0:02:42.880 Are they are they living up to that goal? The 0:02:43.000 --> 0:02:46.200 number TEA with the numbers, do the numbers appear that 0:02:46.360 --> 0:02:48.400 the guy that they're that they're going the right way 0:02:48.400 --> 0:02:51.040 about that with you know, it's gonna happen where a 0:02:51.040 --> 0:02:53.079 few players are gonna slip through the crack. Sure, thirty 0:02:53.080 --> 0:02:55.799 five every year. That's a little too many. And I 0:02:55.840 --> 0:02:58.200 get it. Look, they're thirty two teams drafted here thirty 0:02:58.200 --> 0:03:03.280 two you know, different schemes, different philosophies, different understandings of 0:03:03.680 --> 0:03:06.760 the players they're looking for. So you know, we're they're 0:03:06.760 --> 0:03:10.160 gonna be different opinions. But to miss a thirty five guy, 0:03:10.240 --> 0:03:12.079 that's a lot and a lot of some of these 0:03:12.080 --> 0:03:14.359 guys are late bloomer, you know, in the process that 0:03:14.520 --> 0:03:18.280 workout Warriors. So they're gonna, you know, do really well 0:03:18.400 --> 0:03:20.280 at the Pro Day and all of a sudden they 0:03:20.280 --> 0:03:24.120 turn into a six or seventh round pick. That'll happen. Understandable. 0:03:24.240 --> 0:03:27.000 But for some of these snubs, they're just not three 0:03:27.120 --> 0:03:29.720 hundred and twenty six better players. But it didn't drafting them, 0:03:30.440 --> 0:03:33.400 you know, wild I was. I was makes the undrafted 0:03:33.440 --> 0:03:36.240 free agency free for all on Sunday afternoon a little 0:03:36.280 --> 0:03:38.520 more exciting though, right you know. I was going through 0:03:38.600 --> 0:03:41.840 and and some guys that that I was looking at. 0:03:41.920 --> 0:03:44.520 I was going back and kind of saying some guys 0:03:44.600 --> 0:03:47.320 some names that I hadn't seen, and I mentioned up 0:03:47.320 --> 0:03:50.080 that I mentioned to you that the kid from Old 0:03:50.080 --> 0:03:57.680 Dominion Teamy, Yeah Boomy, Uh bummy bummy, but bu m 0:03:57.680 --> 0:04:04.080 I Boomy, Okay bummy Sureimmy bummy rut Timmy. That's pretty good. Yeah, 0:04:04.120 --> 0:04:08.280 bummy rut Timmy from Old Dominion. Okay, young man's going 0:04:08.320 --> 0:04:10.960 to combine. I watched him on tape today. He is 0:04:10.960 --> 0:04:15.280 not a better player than Punaford, who is the top snublish. Yeah, 0:04:15.840 --> 0:04:17.479 I'm just telling you right now, I don't know what. 0:04:17.720 --> 0:04:20.120 I don't know what, And no offense the folks out 0:04:20.120 --> 0:04:24.640 there at Old Dominion. You know Nancy Lieberman final alumni 0:04:23.880 --> 0:04:29.599 theres yeah, you and the Commonwealth and the Commonwealth exactly right. 0:04:30.080 --> 0:04:35.200 But he is not a better player then than Poonaford. Now, 0:04:35.240 --> 0:04:38.520 I will tell you this though. There's there's a couple 0:04:38.560 --> 0:04:41.479 of guys I did I did not know about that 0:04:41.480 --> 0:04:44.000 that are at this that got invited that I hadn't 0:04:44.000 --> 0:04:47.080 seen yet. I will and I know you need to 0:04:47.080 --> 0:04:52.960 look at this guy. Yeah, but Matt Dickerson from UCLA, 0:04:53.279 --> 0:04:55.520 who are you? No, don't do that to me, Ken, 0:04:56.600 --> 0:05:00.960 don't do that. He's a defensive tackle. Yeah, he's didn't 0:05:00.960 --> 0:05:03.000 playing a little bit three technique, play a little bit. 0:05:03.040 --> 0:05:07.040 This guy sixty three, two hundred ninety pounds. That's his 0:05:07.200 --> 0:05:08.880 measurables right there. He might be a little bit of 0:05:08.920 --> 0:05:10.400 a guy that you would say is a four three 0:05:10.400 --> 0:05:12.719 defensive end, Isn't that? Isn't that the fun thing? A 0:05:12.720 --> 0:05:15.800 little bit though, Like everybody, I everybody chips in a 0:05:15.839 --> 0:05:18.200 little bit like I did not know anything about him, 0:05:18.200 --> 0:05:20.040 and I thought it together. I thought, I looked at 0:05:20.080 --> 0:05:22.839 several of the top defensive linemen in this thing. I 0:05:22.920 --> 0:05:24.880 thought I had an idea I just get in the 0:05:24.880 --> 0:05:27.480 third round. Well, he missed most of the year. Yeah, 0:05:27.520 --> 0:05:30.320 but yeah, well we watched the game, watch the Texas 0:05:30.320 --> 0:05:32.120 A and M in Stanford game, and tell me you 0:05:32.120 --> 0:05:34.159 wouldn't draft this kid. Oh yeah, No, I'm just saying 0:05:34.160 --> 0:05:36.440 that's why he's kind of going overlooked at this point. 0:05:37.160 --> 0:05:39.360 How do you overlook a guy? I mean, and he's 0:05:39.400 --> 0:05:41.360 going to combine, So that's a good that's a good 0:05:41.440 --> 0:05:46.520 right there. But I mean I could say Ford. I 0:05:46.600 --> 0:05:49.960 look back at Ford and I'm thinking, you know, I 0:05:50.000 --> 0:05:52.720 look at the kid at Old Dominion and I'm like, no, 0:05:53.320 --> 0:05:55.640 why do you know? Why do you think that is? Like? 0:05:55.720 --> 0:05:57.360 Do they want to have I got it, I got 0:05:57.360 --> 0:05:59.400 my idea, Dane. Do you think they want to have 0:05:59.440 --> 0:06:03.120 a small school big school disparity? I think I think 0:06:03.160 --> 0:06:10.440 they are married to their preseason grades. They preaching really dumb. Yes, 0:06:10.520 --> 0:06:12.479 it is. Yeah, the grades that they come out with 0:06:12.560 --> 0:06:16.159 over the summer, which you know, there's how many teams 0:06:16.200 --> 0:06:19.600 subscribe to NFS. It's like twenty, yeah, something like that, 0:06:19.680 --> 0:06:22.360 and then there's like eight that belonged to Blessed four 0:06:22.440 --> 0:06:24.800 that don't belong to any scouting service. They they're a 0:06:24.800 --> 0:06:28.840 smaller scouting service. But yeah, the preseason grades that they 0:06:28.839 --> 0:06:31.520 come up with over the summer. They're so married to 0:06:31.600 --> 0:06:34.920 those and they don't change them enough. That's insane based 0:06:34.920 --> 0:06:37.320 on the senior see. Oh yeah, absolutely. So a guy 0:06:37.320 --> 0:06:39.920 like Poona Ford who didn't have a lot of juice 0:06:39.960 --> 0:06:42.320 coming into the year, but then he turns into the 0:06:42.320 --> 0:06:46.240 big twelve defensive linemen of the year, Yeah, fantastic twenty seventeen. 0:06:46.760 --> 0:06:50.040 He gets overlooked because he wasn't highly graded enough in 0:06:50.080 --> 0:06:52.800 the summer, and it hurts a player like that unfortunately. 0:06:52.839 --> 0:06:56.839 So yeah, I think that that's my theory on how 0:06:56.920 --> 0:06:59.279 that kind of happens. Would you agree with that? Brian 0:06:59.400 --> 0:07:03.960 nosolutely agree with that. You've got eight No, screw that 0:07:04.120 --> 0:07:07.520 college football ends on Thanksgiving, You've got two and a half. 0:07:07.520 --> 0:07:09.680 A little too, I think we're a little too snobbish 0:07:09.760 --> 0:07:12.880 there right now. I think we're a little too snobbish 0:07:12.960 --> 0:07:16.760 and the way that we the way that we go 0:07:16.840 --> 0:07:19.320 about picking these players for the common you've got to 0:07:19.400 --> 0:07:22.160 have the ability to have some flexibility at this thing. 0:07:22.800 --> 0:07:24.480 And trust me, I've been going to the thing since 0:07:24.560 --> 0:07:27.440 nineteen ninety two. I've seen it when it wasn't on TV. 0:07:28.080 --> 0:07:30.320 There was a day I'm like, there's no way in 0:07:30.400 --> 0:07:33.200 hell they're putting this on TV and now it's like 0:07:33.840 --> 0:07:36.400 must see, must see. There were ten there were ten 0:07:36.640 --> 0:07:40.200 twelve riders covering it. I thought about this this morning, like, 0:07:40.520 --> 0:07:44.640 I mean, we we cover the championship parade like it's 0:07:44.680 --> 0:07:48.000 and now like if if you can put it on TV. 0:07:49.520 --> 0:07:51.880 But you know, the Combine has now become like must 0:07:51.960 --> 0:07:55.400 watch TV in the NFL calendar and something else. I 0:07:55.400 --> 0:07:58.480 think that's hurt um some of these seniors. Is all 0:07:58.480 --> 0:08:01.200 the underclassmen coming out, right, because that's in the way 0:08:01.200 --> 0:08:04.160 the Combine does it is they send out the invites 0:08:04.200 --> 0:08:07.120 and waves, and so they hold off a good chunk 0:08:07.160 --> 0:08:11.160 of invites until we get the official underclassmen list, which 0:08:11.200 --> 0:08:16.160 isn't released until you know, January fifteen, sixteen seventeenth around there, 0:08:16.360 --> 0:08:18.800 and then that next wave goes out to a lot 0:08:18.800 --> 0:08:21.400 of these underclassmen. That's some we didn't expect to come out. 0:08:21.440 --> 0:08:25.600 So the excessive number of underclassmen hurts a lot of 0:08:25.600 --> 0:08:28.680 these seniors who then lose a spot because of some 0:08:28.720 --> 0:08:31.520 of these underclassmen. Yeah, and we find it out a 0:08:31.520 --> 0:08:34.880 lot of these underclassmen can't play. There's got to be 0:08:34.920 --> 0:08:37.480 something they can do. Yeah, we've got to figure something out. Okay, 0:08:38.320 --> 0:08:41.240 go through. I just want you to go through a 0:08:41.280 --> 0:08:43.320 few of your guys well and the snubs. I mean, 0:08:43.480 --> 0:08:45.760 you know you mention I'm like one hundred and fifty 0:08:45.800 --> 0:08:48.440 players into this thing, and you know you're well beyond that. 0:08:49.160 --> 0:08:52.160 We mentioned Punaford. Yeah, he's a good player that should 0:08:52.200 --> 0:08:54.720 be going. Yeah, I think the cat from Old Dominion shouldn't. 0:08:55.160 --> 0:08:57.599 My second highest graded guy right now. I think is 0:08:57.640 --> 0:09:01.520 Doris Fountain from Okay, We've talked about him, guy from Uh, 0:09:02.360 --> 0:09:04.520 he's gonna test really well wherever that is it's Pro 0:09:04.600 --> 0:09:07.280 Day whatever I thought an Iowa BA. Yeah, he's gonna 0:09:07.280 --> 0:09:09.959 test really well. He's an ideal late round candidate to 0:09:10.040 --> 0:09:13.120 stash on your team. Develop him. Like him a lot 0:09:13.640 --> 0:09:16.520 a couple of Senior Bowl guys. Kind of surprising. Uh. 0:09:16.600 --> 0:09:19.240 Bradley Bozeman, the center from Alabama had a good week. 0:09:19.360 --> 0:09:21.480 Had now he wasn't bad. No, he had a good week. 0:09:21.800 --> 0:09:24.240 Uh do you think because the center class is a 0:09:24.280 --> 0:09:27.160 little bit deeper that Bozeman didn't get yet? But he 0:09:27.160 --> 0:09:30.240 he's not is he's He's a guy that deserves an 0:09:30.240 --> 0:09:33.280 opportunity to go. I agree, I'll see him at Pro Day. 0:09:33.280 --> 0:09:35.120 I'm going to Alabama's pro day, by the way, are 0:09:35.240 --> 0:09:37.920 you Yeah? I'm gonna drive. When did you When did 0:09:37.920 --> 0:09:40.520 you decide that? Just two minutes ago? Just right now, 0:09:40.600 --> 0:09:42.920 just right now, there's gonna be fifteen guys out there, 0:09:42.960 --> 0:09:44.719 so you might I'm gonna go and be a part 0:09:44.760 --> 0:09:47.200 of Alabama's pro day. Okay, I'm just gonna make that true. 0:09:47.240 --> 0:09:49.240 I know how to get to Alabama on the road. 0:09:49.840 --> 0:09:52.040 How far from Dallas? About eight It's about eight and 0:09:52.080 --> 0:09:54.600 a half hours. You just take you just take twenty 0:09:54.800 --> 0:09:58.360 twenty across on hours east. I'll go see that center. Okay. 0:09:59.080 --> 0:10:03.160 How about a few safety that didn't have to invite? Yeah, 0:10:02.360 --> 0:10:07.719 Treyvon Henderson Hawaii. We talked about him at the Senior Bowl, Darling. Yeah, 0:10:07.840 --> 0:10:10.840 Jeremy Reeves South Alabama. See, now there's another guy that 0:10:11.320 --> 0:10:14.720 you know. You watched the South Alabama tape, and that's 0:10:14.960 --> 0:10:17.480 he's a good football player. I mean, I'm watching him. 0:10:17.960 --> 0:10:19.559 Let's see what I said. I mean, I'm trying to. 0:10:20.040 --> 0:10:21.360 At one time in my life, I used to be 0:10:21.440 --> 0:10:23.200 all just take notes off the top of my head. 0:10:23.320 --> 0:10:25.439 Can't do that well. Jeremy Reeves is a guy that 0:10:25.640 --> 0:10:29.079 he played corner, played strong, and this past year they 0:10:29.080 --> 0:10:32.720 moved in the free safe. Yeah he was terrific. Oh, absolutely, yeah. 0:10:32.920 --> 0:10:34.720 I'll tell you, Dan, I watched the kid. I just 0:10:34.760 --> 0:10:37.200 can't remember everything about him. Here, let's see, where's my man. 0:10:37.360 --> 0:10:39.920 He's a draftable player. Yeah, I don't think he's a 0:10:39.960 --> 0:10:42.200 top one hundred player, but he's a draftable player. No, 0:10:42.320 --> 0:10:44.160 he is. And and like you say, you're talking about 0:10:44.160 --> 0:10:47.000 the ball skills, you're talking about the physicality as a tackler. 0:10:47.720 --> 0:10:51.000 I mean, there's a lot of positive things about this kid. Yeah, 0:10:51.040 --> 0:10:53.400 I mean, and they say he was He got an 0:10:53.400 --> 0:10:56.200 opportunity to play at his home, his home stadium there, 0:10:56.520 --> 0:10:59.720 and he showed up. Well he did, which you know what, 0:10:59.720 --> 0:11:01.920 what like, if you show up well, you should be 0:11:01.960 --> 0:11:04.120 able to go to the combine at these bowl games 0:11:04.120 --> 0:11:06.240 and stuff. I'm not gonna spend a lot of time 0:11:06.320 --> 0:11:09.600 crying for an Alabama guy that doesn't get invited because 0:11:09.640 --> 0:11:12.720 the whole league is going to descend on his building 0:11:12.840 --> 0:11:15.959 for their pro day. I'll be there. But South Alabama 0:11:16.000 --> 0:11:17.960 and Hawaii, I mean, don't get me wrong. In the NFL, 0:11:18.160 --> 0:11:22.199 they'll turn over every stone, but the Hawaii Pro Day, 0:11:22.200 --> 0:11:24.319 it's probably not going to be as well attended as well. 0:11:24.320 --> 0:11:26.439 What they do. What they do is those kids, they 0:11:26.440 --> 0:11:29.240 bring them, they bring them to the mainland. Yeah, they'll 0:11:29.240 --> 0:11:31.880 do in California. Where where will it be though, like 0:11:32.559 --> 0:11:37.880 UCLA USC one of those whoever San Diego States sever 0:11:38.000 --> 0:11:41.199 the coaches are tight. Yeah, yeah, those kids. You don't 0:11:41.200 --> 0:11:43.720 have to travel to Hawaii to work these kids out. 0:11:43.760 --> 0:11:45.679 They will bring the kids to you. Right, Maybe that 0:11:45.800 --> 0:11:48.280 was a bad example. Some of some of these kids 0:11:48.320 --> 0:11:50.440 aren't going to get the opportunity to be seen at 0:11:50.480 --> 0:11:54.839 South Alabama exactly right. Should we've already been to Mobile once. 0:11:54.920 --> 0:11:59.000 Now the kid play South Alabama will probably have I know, 0:11:59.040 --> 0:12:01.400 I know what you're saying. Eight scouts there, Yeah, you know, 0:12:01.880 --> 0:12:04.280 on their way to on their way to Florida State 0:12:04.360 --> 0:12:07.439 or what exact games will they these scouts will line 0:12:07.480 --> 0:12:10.520 it up, let's play well, let's play Devil's advocate like 0:12:10.559 --> 0:12:13.160 I you know. As frustrating it might be for us 0:12:13.160 --> 0:12:15.480 that some of these kids aren't invited. There's probably scouts 0:12:15.520 --> 0:12:18.480 that are like keep them out of endy good exactly's 0:12:18.480 --> 0:12:20.959 absolutely I gotta beat on this guy. I just think 0:12:21.000 --> 0:12:23.440 the medicals say, and yeah, you're right, we'll bring these guys, 0:12:23.440 --> 0:12:26.000 the medical thing is the most important thing at the combine. 0:12:26.080 --> 0:12:28.160 Yeah right, and that's just and that's what we don't 0:12:28.160 --> 0:12:31.920 have access to, and that hurts our board sometimes. Yeah No, 0:12:32.000 --> 0:12:35.480 that's I mean, we're until the tape until April wind. 0:12:35.679 --> 0:12:37.800 Oh Jane was up on the show and he's like, 0:12:38.000 --> 0:12:40.760 you know that guy you love, he's not getting drafted. No, 0:12:40.840 --> 0:12:42.959 that's got a bad problem. The problem we have with 0:12:42.960 --> 0:12:46.120 that is and you're absolutely right, it happens where you 0:12:46.200 --> 0:12:48.520 have a guy as a first, second, third round grade 0:12:48.559 --> 0:12:50.040 and all of a sudden, well, Dane, who do you 0:12:50.040 --> 0:12:52.720 got left on your board? Well? I have so that 0:12:52.800 --> 0:12:56.880 what was that pit tackle several years ago? Clemens had 0:12:56.920 --> 0:12:58.960 a hurt foot, Nobody really knew about it, and all 0:12:59.000 --> 0:13:01.120 of a sudden, it's like we're sitting in day three 0:13:01.160 --> 0:13:04.080 and I'm looking at Dan. Something is wrong with Clement? 0:13:04.160 --> 0:13:08.480 Super Bowl champion jay a Gy Yeahraisy State fans still 0:13:08.520 --> 0:13:10.760 hate me. I'm out on Well, you were right though, 0:13:12.000 --> 0:13:13.560 That's what I said after the draft, like he went 0:13:13.600 --> 0:13:16.319 to the fifth round obviously something was going on. Oh, 0:13:16.440 --> 0:13:18.800 they just they read your report and they didn't You 0:13:18.840 --> 0:13:20.360 give me a lot of credit where you think that 0:13:20.480 --> 0:13:22.400 NFL teams see what I say and say, oh, we're 0:13:22.440 --> 0:13:25.079 gonna back off him. No teams flagged him because of 0:13:25.120 --> 0:13:26.959 his injuries, and look good for him. He's played in 0:13:27.000 --> 0:13:29.959 the league with three years now, two thousand, two thousand 0:13:30.000 --> 0:13:32.720 plus rushing yards and er Bowl champion, sparked the little 0:13:32.760 --> 0:13:34.880 thing on his finger. So good for him that he's 0:13:34.880 --> 0:13:36.360 been able to do it. I was rooting for him. 0:13:37.120 --> 0:13:39.840 I'll never get over that. He should have been a cowboy. 0:13:40.120 --> 0:13:42.360 Every year there's gonna be these guys. This year, it 0:13:43.080 --> 0:13:45.320 probably a guy that we we've talked at length about. 0:13:45.480 --> 0:13:47.360 You know, we'll be the medicals. Yeah, in a month, 0:13:47.360 --> 0:13:51.199 we'll be talking about oh depleted. Oh no, yeah, oh 0:13:51.240 --> 0:13:56.079 he's got a narrow spine. Seriously, No, it happens. You're 0:13:56.080 --> 0:13:58.679 sitting there and you're and you're like, you're just like, 0:13:59.000 --> 0:14:01.840 you're so excited about seeing these guys at the combine 0:14:01.880 --> 0:14:04.720 the workout, and you're like, all right, man, the tape's good, 0:14:04.960 --> 0:14:08.360 the workout's good. Oh wait a minute, he's got what 0:14:09.000 --> 0:14:11.800 he's got on a regular heartbeat. Oh he's a he's 0:14:11.840 --> 0:14:14.400 a this, you know, he's he's got this kind of trait. 0:14:14.760 --> 0:14:17.480 But it does sells or something. You know, thirty five 0:14:17.520 --> 0:14:19.760 of thirty five of these guys, give or take, won't 0:14:19.760 --> 0:14:22.120 be in a position for us to know that, which sucks. 0:14:22.920 --> 0:14:25.040 And that's exactly the point, because, yeah, it would be 0:14:25.160 --> 0:14:28.280 nice to know the full medical information on some of 0:14:28.280 --> 0:14:31.320 these guys that you know, take a guy I was 0:14:31.360 --> 0:14:33.760 just finished his report the other day, Cameron Moore from 0:14:33.760 --> 0:14:36.800 Boston College. Yeah, he's an interesting player. I think might 0:14:36.800 --> 0:14:38.720 be a better safety than corner. But he is a 0:14:38.760 --> 0:14:42.160 guy that the last three years twice his season ended 0:14:42.200 --> 0:14:45.480 early with an injury, and you just you worry about, Okay, 0:14:45.520 --> 0:14:48.080 what's going on with the durability is long term? Is 0:14:48.120 --> 0:14:49.920 that something you've got to be worried about for a 0:14:49.960 --> 0:14:51.400 lot of these players that don't get invites to the 0:14:51.440 --> 0:14:55.080 combine you're going based on you know, you're gonna have 0:14:55.080 --> 0:14:56.840 to bring him in as a thirty visit, Yeah, to 0:14:56.920 --> 0:14:59.160 get kind of the information or you know, it's just 0:15:00.200 --> 0:15:02.360 it kind of stresses the team a little bit to 0:15:02.360 --> 0:15:07.600 get that info. Yeah, I say, I always appreciate the kids, 0:15:07.600 --> 0:15:09.320 and I think they do a better job now with 0:15:09.400 --> 0:15:13.360 the combine being later in February, super late this year, 0:15:13.880 --> 0:15:17.480 Later in February March because traditionally March twelfth was like 0:15:17.520 --> 0:15:20.160 the day of all the big workouts. I think you're 0:15:20.200 --> 0:15:22.760 going to be a week later on that. But you're 0:15:22.840 --> 0:15:25.840 giving kids the opportunity to at least finish their season 0:15:26.760 --> 0:15:29.800 and then get ready for the combine. You know, you're 0:15:29.800 --> 0:15:31.720 at least allow I mean, the best thing in the 0:15:31.720 --> 0:15:34.000 world was. I always respected the kids that worked out 0:15:34.000 --> 0:15:36.360 at the combine. You know. But then again, if a 0:15:36.440 --> 0:15:39.120 kid can run, he can run. Yeah, there's kids that 0:15:39.160 --> 0:15:41.560 can roll out of bed and run. Sitting here thinking 0:15:41.760 --> 0:15:45.040 even even the Alabama and Georgia kids who weren't done 0:15:45.120 --> 0:15:49.480 until January eighth, Yeah whatever, I mean there, it's almost 0:15:49.520 --> 0:15:52.520 two months after the fact. Sure they could get ready. 0:15:52.680 --> 0:15:54.720 If you can run, you can run. But it gives 0:15:54.720 --> 0:15:57.120 you six weeks to go work on your three cone 0:15:57.200 --> 0:15:59.120 or whatever it is you want to work on. No. 0:15:59.320 --> 0:16:02.920 I just and that's a completely different problem altogether. A 0:16:02.920 --> 0:16:06.480 team or these guys are training for oh, sure, combine 0:16:06.520 --> 0:16:09.320 exercises instead of football. There was a time where that 0:16:09.320 --> 0:16:11.560 that's just that's the beast at this point, that's what 0:16:11.720 --> 0:16:14.960 television's that's where television's helped the player, if you want 0:16:14.960 --> 0:16:18.600 to be honest, because you show those drills right there 0:16:18.680 --> 0:16:20.920 used to be a time where nobody really knew what 0:16:21.080 --> 0:16:24.160 the drills wore at the combine. Yeah, it was interesting. Um, 0:16:24.440 --> 0:16:27.680 I went back and I was looking at combine data. Um, 0:16:27.720 --> 0:16:29.280 you know, I looking at Trell Owens and all that, 0:16:29.680 --> 0:16:32.160 and I went back to the ninety six combine. Uh 0:16:32.440 --> 0:16:35.360 that's when Owens and Dawkins is in that draft. Yeah. Uh. 0:16:35.840 --> 0:16:37.840 And they didn't have the three cone. They had the 0:16:37.840 --> 0:16:41.520 four square four square. Yeah, I forgot. I forgot all 0:16:41.560 --> 0:16:44.240 about that. They went from the four square to the 0:16:44.240 --> 0:16:46.200 three cone right in the in the late nineties. So 0:16:46.320 --> 0:16:51.280 that was interesting. Abracado, Yeah, with his baby God rushed 0:16:51.280 --> 0:16:54.840 your Solcio, one of the great scouts. Never ever go 0:16:54.880 --> 0:16:57.160 out and hit the road. First guy ever went scouting 0:16:57.160 --> 0:16:59.360 with ron Wolf sent me with him to Iowa. Says, 0:16:59.360 --> 0:17:01.400 you're going to meet this guy at Iowa. Don't miss 0:17:01.400 --> 0:17:03.640 it's the legend. Don't mess it up. Passed Away was 0:17:03.680 --> 0:17:06.800 with the Houston Oilers and then the Tennessee Titans. Just 0:17:06.800 --> 0:17:10.240 a great but he invented the three cone drill. And 0:17:10.440 --> 0:17:12.840 I think it's to me people ask about that all 0:17:12.840 --> 0:17:15.880 the time. What's the most important drills? I love those 0:17:15.920 --> 0:17:18.560 drills with the movements, the short shuttles, the three cones, 0:17:19.040 --> 0:17:20.560 those are the drills that important. I mean, I want 0:17:20.560 --> 0:17:23.680 to see guy be able to redirect. I want to 0:17:23.720 --> 0:17:27.640 see guy a balanced movement quickness. Alonzo high Smith who 0:17:27.880 --> 0:17:30.719 longtime Scott with the Packers now at the Brown Yeah, 0:17:30.920 --> 0:17:33.400 he told me that, you know the most important thing 0:17:33.480 --> 0:17:36.200 is how does a player perform in space? Yeah? How 0:17:36.240 --> 0:17:38.240 does a player hold up in space? And the three 0:17:38.240 --> 0:17:42.000 cone and those kind of drills help illustrate exactly that. 0:17:42.240 --> 0:17:45.600 So that does help, Yeah, it sure does. I just 0:17:45.920 --> 0:17:48.480 like I said, I love the combine, but really focus 0:17:48.560 --> 0:17:50.840 on the medical aspect of it. Yeah, that's where you 0:17:50.880 --> 0:17:53.120 really really really need to focus. A few more guys 0:17:53.160 --> 0:17:56.320 that didn't get Arron Johnson, the Weaver State corner that 0:17:56.400 --> 0:17:58.480 the Senior Bowl he is not going. A couple Auburn guys. 0:17:58.560 --> 0:18:02.080 Trey Williams, a linebacker will him Yeah, And Trey Matthews, 0:18:02.119 --> 0:18:05.760 the safety he will not be at the Combine. See now, people, Okay, 0:18:05.800 --> 0:18:08.560 Trey Matthews has an interesting story because of what happened 0:18:08.600 --> 0:18:10.600 to him at Georgia. Kicked out of George after his 0:18:10.680 --> 0:18:13.560 freshman season. See this is things you could learn when 0:18:13.600 --> 0:18:16.399 you if you have a kid at the combine, rightet, 0:18:16.480 --> 0:18:18.320 eighteen minutes with a guy, yeah, you get eight You 0:18:18.359 --> 0:18:20.639 get time to sit there and visit with him and 0:18:20.720 --> 0:18:22.960 have an opportunity to ask him a few more questions. 0:18:23.000 --> 0:18:24.840 Now you'd have to bring him in or do something 0:18:24.800 --> 0:18:26.600 at his work. He's had plenty of injuries too. He 0:18:26.640 --> 0:18:30.080 had he had surgery on both shoulders within a four 0:18:30.119 --> 0:18:32.960 week period. Yeah, I mean there's so there's durability stuff 0:18:32.960 --> 0:18:34.520 there too. So yeah, Trey Matthews would have been a 0:18:34.520 --> 0:18:37.320 perfect guy to have at the combine for the off field, 0:18:37.359 --> 0:18:39.560 for the medical and then I'm he's kind of a 0:18:39.600 --> 0:18:42.639 safety linebacker tweeter a little bit. I want to see 0:18:42.760 --> 0:18:46.040 how he performs in some of these agility drills. So yeah, 0:18:46.080 --> 0:18:48.640 it's disappointing he won't be there that that's too bad 0:18:48.680 --> 0:18:50.080 for him. And one of the guy I wanted to 0:18:50.119 --> 0:18:52.800 mention Joe Ausman from Central Michigan. There is a guy 0:18:52.800 --> 0:18:56.400 who led the FBS averaging one point three sacks per 0:18:56.440 --> 0:19:00.800 game this past year. So Ausman, say the name Joe Ausmon, 0:19:00.880 --> 0:19:04.640 Joe Aston, Michigan, Central Michigan. He's undersized, short arms, smaller guy. 0:19:04.800 --> 0:19:07.520 So the measurables aren't there, but still I would I 0:19:07.520 --> 0:19:09.120 have liked to see I thought he deserved a chance 0:19:09.160 --> 0:19:12.160 a bit combine sack a game one point three sacks 0:19:12.160 --> 0:19:17.360 for Yeah, I led the FBS bad great name, Joe 0:19:17.400 --> 0:19:20.840 Ausmon the mack. Take a look at my guy Dickinson too, 0:19:20.880 --> 0:19:24.159 by the way, from Yeah, from UCLA. He's on the 0:19:24.240 --> 0:19:27.120 list for sure. Please watch him today. He'll appreciate me later. 0:19:27.760 --> 0:19:30.359 All right, when we come back, how about me going 0:19:30.359 --> 0:19:32.520 on break on time? Yeah, look at you.
