But I'm glad he had 18 00:00:45,479 --> 00:00:47,080 Speaker 2: the cleaner combine version. 19 00:00:49,600 --> 00:00:52,199 Speaker 6: They just need to combine the two.

Robert ori Orio, 30 00:01:35,920 --> 00:01:39,800 Speaker 3: seven time NBA champ, he'll join us coming up as well. 31 00:01:40,280 --> 00:01:42,760 Speaker 3: All right, poll question for the first hour the program 32 00:01:42,880 --> 00:01:44,640 Speaker 3: is going to be what season it. 33 00:01:44,720 --> 00:01:47,040 Speaker 6: Might have to be combine related? If that's a dirty 34 00:01:48,000 --> 00:01:52,720 Speaker 6: habit or not good creek. I think that that's really funny. 35 00:01:54,680 --> 00:01:55,280 Speaker 2: Yeah. 36 00:01:55,400 --> 00:01:58,560 Speaker 6: Why is it though that when you watch the Combine 37 00:01:58,600 --> 00:02:03,680 Speaker 6: it does feel like, man, I'm really diving deep into this. Yeah, 38 00:02:03,680 --> 00:02:06,000 Speaker 6: it is fascinating that we'll watch this because I do. 39 00:02:06,120 --> 00:02:08,800 Speaker 6: I do tend to watch it every year. Like I 40 00:02:08,840 --> 00:02:12,080 Speaker 6: watched yesterday. Was offensive, lineman, I want to say, and 41 00:02:12,120 --> 00:02:14,760 Speaker 6: it was fascinating. Like the dude's going around a cone, 42 00:02:14,800 --> 00:02:16,880 Speaker 6: his foot slips out, he drops down to his knees. 43 00:02:17,120 --> 00:02:19,000 Speaker 2: You know that that kid is crushed right now. His 44 00:02:19,080 --> 00:02:21,639 Speaker 2: parents are watching, They're like, oh, no, you should have 45 00:02:21,680 --> 00:02:24,320 Speaker 2: worn the other cleats. That's gonna drop him to the 46 00:02:24,320 --> 00:02:25,919 Speaker 2: fifth round. That's tough. 47 00:02:26,000 --> 00:02:26,240 Speaker 6: Man. 48 00:02:26,919 --> 00:02:30,920 Speaker 3: Get ready for this because there's only one legitimate quarterback, 49 00:02:31,080 --> 00:02:34,760 Speaker 3: first round quarterback. That's Bernanda Mendoza. But you will get 50 00:02:34,760 --> 00:02:38,399 Speaker 3: an onslought of publicity for Ty Simpson, the Alabama quarterback. 51 00:02:38,720 --> 00:02:42,680 Speaker 3: Happens every year where we will you gotta have something 52 00:02:42,720 --> 00:02:45,600 Speaker 3: to talk about, and you're gonna have them build people 53 00:02:45,680 --> 00:02:48,240 Speaker 3: up and then you're gonna have them tear people down 54 00:02:48,639 --> 00:02:51,560 Speaker 3: and then somewhere in between is where they're going to 55 00:02:51,639 --> 00:02:53,360 Speaker 3: end up as we go into the draft. But I 56 00:02:53,360 --> 00:02:56,640 Speaker 3: think Ty Simpson from Alabama will get a lot more 57 00:02:56,960 --> 00:03:00,680 Speaker 3: love than he's getting right now because we're trying to, 58 00:03:00,919 --> 00:03:03,320 Speaker 3: you know, bolster that first time. You know, when you 59 00:03:03,320 --> 00:03:06,160 Speaker 3: think of the draft, mame. We were so spoiled a 60 00:03:06,200 --> 00:03:09,359 Speaker 3: couple of years ago where you got all these quarterbacks 61 00:03:09,639 --> 00:03:13,040 Speaker 3: and that's what this is about, you know. And I've 62 00:03:13,040 --> 00:03:15,320 Speaker 3: gone to these drafts before where you get a fan 63 00:03:15,400 --> 00:03:17,040 Speaker 3: base there and all of a sudden they're on the 64 00:03:17,040 --> 00:03:19,560 Speaker 3: clock and then all of a sudden they say, and 65 00:03:19,639 --> 00:03:24,680 Speaker 3: the Buffalo Bills take you know, Jimmy Lipper, offensive guard 66 00:03:24,800 --> 00:03:27,560 Speaker 3: in C State and they're like yeah, and they have 67 00:03:27,639 --> 00:03:30,640 Speaker 3: no idea who they're getting. All you want to know 68 00:03:30,760 --> 00:03:33,960 Speaker 3: is do we got a skilled position guy? Are we 69 00:03:34,000 --> 00:03:36,880 Speaker 3: going to get an edge rusher here. That's all that 70 00:03:37,000 --> 00:03:41,000 Speaker 3: you care about, Yes, Marvin, Yeah, I've worked the NFL 71 00:03:41,080 --> 00:03:42,200 Speaker 3: draft and I've been to one. We went to one 72 00:03:42,240 --> 00:03:44,840 Speaker 3: in Green Bay, and the fan base when you draft 73 00:03:44,880 --> 00:03:47,200 Speaker 3: a skill position guy, a quarterback, running back, wide receiver, 74 00:03:47,240 --> 00:03:50,000 Speaker 3: all right, let's go. Let's go, and then this offensive 75 00:03:50,040 --> 00:03:53,920 Speaker 3: tackle or offensive guard or detackle all right, Okay, okay, 76 00:03:54,000 --> 00:03:56,960 Speaker 3: sending up the line. Okay, but that's how you win 77 00:03:57,040 --> 00:04:01,720 Speaker 3: in the NFL, is the offensive line, defensive line. But 78 00:04:01,760 --> 00:04:04,640 Speaker 3: we're so it's just like the Raiders might be committing 79 00:04:04,640 --> 00:04:08,400 Speaker 3: malpractice by drafting Fernando Mendoza and not having a good 80 00:04:08,400 --> 00:04:11,839 Speaker 3: offensive line. You draft asked in Genti and you don't 81 00:04:11,880 --> 00:04:16,120 Speaker 3: have a good offensive line. Hopefully he gets an opportunity 82 00:04:16,160 --> 00:04:20,039 Speaker 3: to ease in to the quarterbacking position, because I don't 83 00:04:20,040 --> 00:04:22,520 Speaker 3: want him starting week one. Even if he's ready to 84 00:04:22,560 --> 00:04:25,120 Speaker 3: start week one, he's not going to be ready to start. 85 00:04:25,640 --> 00:04:28,480 Speaker 3: And I hope that they give him an opportunity where hey, 86 00:04:28,760 --> 00:04:31,719 Speaker 3: let's bolster the offensive line and give him a chance, 87 00:04:32,000 --> 00:04:35,960 Speaker 3: because if not, then you're going to have a similar 88 00:04:36,000 --> 00:04:38,360 Speaker 3: situation to what you had last year with the Raiders 89 00:04:38,400 --> 00:04:41,360 Speaker 3: when they had one of the worst offensive lines in football. 90 00:04:41,760 --> 00:04:45,640 Speaker 6: Yes, Seden, do they have the ability to fix both 91 00:04:47,080 --> 00:04:50,640 Speaker 6: sometime between now and the start of the next season. 92 00:04:50,880 --> 00:04:53,320 Speaker 3: Well, let me see what you do in the draft 93 00:04:53,520 --> 00:04:57,040 Speaker 3: if or you're going to be able to sign players. 94 00:04:57,360 --> 00:05:02,040 Speaker 3: But yes, you got to have an offensive line, But. 95 00:05:02,000 --> 00:05:04,600 Speaker 2: Didn't you need one for the superstar running back that. 96 00:05:04,560 --> 00:05:07,160 Speaker 3: You just too Yes, and that's I don't know if 97 00:05:07,440 --> 00:05:10,520 Speaker 3: I don't know if Ashton gent is going to be 98 00:05:10,560 --> 00:05:12,400 Speaker 3: a great running back. I don't know if he's going 99 00:05:12,480 --> 00:05:16,040 Speaker 3: to be a Jamior Gibbs kind of player. I mean, 100 00:05:16,080 --> 00:05:20,719 Speaker 3: he was fascinating in college, but this is the NFL 101 00:05:21,640 --> 00:05:25,039 Speaker 3: and I think this will be a big year for 102 00:05:25,120 --> 00:05:28,039 Speaker 3: him coming up to see are you able to rely 103 00:05:28,160 --> 00:05:30,400 Speaker 3: on him? And there were times when he had I mean, 104 00:05:30,440 --> 00:05:32,960 Speaker 3: he had moments, but still you got to have an 105 00:05:33,000 --> 00:05:38,760 Speaker 3: offensive line and those teams that do you protect your quarterback? 106 00:05:39,240 --> 00:05:42,080 Speaker 3: And I mean New England was able to go to 107 00:05:42,120 --> 00:05:45,360 Speaker 3: the Super Bowl. They went out and bolstered their offensive line. Now, 108 00:05:45,400 --> 00:05:47,800 Speaker 3: granted that offensive line didn't look good good in the 109 00:05:47,800 --> 00:05:51,280 Speaker 3: playoffs and certainly the Super Bowl, but they gave Drake 110 00:05:51,320 --> 00:05:54,599 Speaker 3: May a chance. And same thing with the Bears with 111 00:05:54,680 --> 00:05:57,320 Speaker 3: Caleb Williams. I kept saying, you got to get an 112 00:05:57,320 --> 00:06:01,520 Speaker 3: offensive line, and they went out and signed three offensive linemen. 113 00:06:02,080 --> 00:06:04,039 Speaker 3: If you're going to have a great quarterback or the 114 00:06:04,080 --> 00:06:07,440 Speaker 3: potential for a great quarterback, don't try to fool anybody 115 00:06:07,960 --> 00:06:11,080 Speaker 3: because you won't. You got to have an offensive line. 116 00:06:12,560 --> 00:06:16,760 Speaker 3: But I hope Fernando Mendoza and you might get some comparisons. Now. 117 00:06:17,200 --> 00:06:20,800 Speaker 3: Dan Orlofsky even said this yesterday from the Mothership that 118 00:06:21,600 --> 00:06:26,240 Speaker 3: Ty Simpson makes some plays, and he was kind of 119 00:06:26,279 --> 00:06:31,240 Speaker 3: comparing him with Fernando Mendoza and leaning towards ty Simpson 120 00:06:31,320 --> 00:06:34,880 Speaker 3: as this guy's got a lot of talent there. Now 121 00:06:35,279 --> 00:06:38,280 Speaker 3: the Mothership is trying to sell the draft too, and 122 00:06:38,360 --> 00:06:41,039 Speaker 3: everybody else who's going to be, you know, covering the 123 00:06:41,160 --> 00:06:44,520 Speaker 3: NFL Draft, presenting the NFL Draft. But you will get 124 00:06:44,560 --> 00:06:48,320 Speaker 3: Ty Simpson love coming up. And when I watched him 125 00:06:48,320 --> 00:06:52,839 Speaker 3: against Now last year, before the season started, nobody was 126 00:06:52,839 --> 00:06:53,960 Speaker 3: talking about Ty Simpson. 127 00:06:54,040 --> 00:06:56,080 Speaker 2: Now they were talking about this quarterback draft. 128 00:06:56,720 --> 00:06:59,960 Speaker 3: So you had a couple of players, you know, Caid Klaw, 129 00:07:00,200 --> 00:07:05,040 Speaker 3: Nick Nuss Smyer from LSU Arch. 130 00:07:04,960 --> 00:07:05,839 Speaker 2: Maybe coming out. 131 00:07:05,920 --> 00:07:08,960 Speaker 3: So you had quarterbacks and this was gonna be oh man, 132 00:07:09,040 --> 00:07:11,280 Speaker 3: you gotta get ready for this quarterback draft. 133 00:07:11,720 --> 00:07:12,800 Speaker 2: Drew Alert. 134 00:07:13,400 --> 00:07:15,920 Speaker 3: Now Aler might be a guy who ends up like 135 00:07:16,160 --> 00:07:18,760 Speaker 3: one of those second day picks who could turn out 136 00:07:18,760 --> 00:07:23,040 Speaker 3: to be an NFL quarterback. He got hurt with Penn Steak, 137 00:07:23,520 --> 00:07:27,800 Speaker 3: but there were probably five to seven quarterbacks where we're like, man, 138 00:07:27,840 --> 00:07:30,320 Speaker 3: you got to position yourself. No one was talking about 139 00:07:30,320 --> 00:07:34,400 Speaker 3: Fernanda Mendoza. He came out of nowhere and had a 140 00:07:34,400 --> 00:07:39,000 Speaker 3: magical season, obviously, but that's how quickly it happens. Oh, Indy, 141 00:07:39,200 --> 00:07:44,360 Speaker 3: Indiana got a quarterback from cal Nothing to see here, 142 00:07:45,880 --> 00:07:48,840 Speaker 3: but there was. And that's why I go back to 143 00:07:48,880 --> 00:07:52,280 Speaker 3: what Kirk kirk Street said preseason. He said, keep an 144 00:07:52,320 --> 00:07:55,000 Speaker 3: eye on for an end of Mendoza in Indiana, and 145 00:07:55,080 --> 00:07:57,480 Speaker 3: Herbie was the only guy I heard say that. That 146 00:07:57,640 --> 00:08:00,760 Speaker 3: made it feel like maybe there's something there building off 147 00:08:00,800 --> 00:08:05,120 Speaker 3: the previous year with Indiana. It's tricky with these quarterbacks, 148 00:08:05,280 --> 00:08:07,560 Speaker 3: and there's going to be two or three quarterbacks out 149 00:08:07,600 --> 00:08:11,040 Speaker 3: of nowhere for this upcoming season. In college football, it 150 00:08:11,120 --> 00:08:14,600 Speaker 3: happens all the time. But nuss Meyer and club Nick, 151 00:08:15,080 --> 00:08:18,600 Speaker 3: I don't know if they're NFL quarterbacks. They look like it. 152 00:08:19,440 --> 00:08:22,840 Speaker 3: Remember Carson Beck, he was going to be a first 153 00:08:22,920 --> 00:08:25,360 Speaker 3: round draft pick, and I went, we're watching a different 154 00:08:25,400 --> 00:08:27,840 Speaker 3: game because I don't think he's a first round draft pick. 155 00:08:28,520 --> 00:08:30,760 Speaker 3: But he might be one of those guys who gets 156 00:08:30,760 --> 00:08:32,959 Speaker 3: you a chance to be a backup quarterback. 157 00:08:33,080 --> 00:08:35,680 Speaker 7: Yeah, Pauling, it doesn't happen that often, but every couple 158 00:08:35,720 --> 00:08:39,920 Speaker 7: of years there's just a wasteland at quarterback. Twenty twenty four, 159 00:08:40,160 --> 00:08:43,480 Speaker 7: six quarterbacks taken in the first twelve picks of the draft. 160 00:08:43,720 --> 00:08:45,760 Speaker 7: If you go back to twenty twenty two, it was 161 00:08:45,800 --> 00:08:48,120 Speaker 7: a little down. Kenny Pickett was the first pick and 162 00:08:48,200 --> 00:08:50,400 Speaker 7: he didn't go to twenty. Then you had Desmond Ritter. 163 00:08:50,640 --> 00:08:52,360 Speaker 7: Not a lot of juice in that draft. But the 164 00:08:52,440 --> 00:08:56,079 Speaker 7: year before you had Trevor Lawrence, Zach Wilson, Trey Lance, 165 00:08:56,360 --> 00:09:00,120 Speaker 7: Justin Fields, Mac Jones, even Kyle Trask was interesting. Was 166 00:09:00,160 --> 00:09:02,560 Speaker 7: a juicy quarterback draft, but it alternates. 167 00:09:02,720 --> 00:09:07,520 Speaker 3: Yeah, and only one of them panned out, with Trevor Lawrence. 168 00:09:09,280 --> 00:09:11,800 Speaker 3: I would love to see mac Jones get another opportunity 169 00:09:11,920 --> 00:09:14,319 Speaker 3: because I think he was done wrong by the Patriots. 170 00:09:14,600 --> 00:09:20,520 Speaker 3: Imagine your offensive coordinator is a defensive coordinator. You go 171 00:09:20,600 --> 00:09:26,240 Speaker 3: to the playoffs and it I mean, they didn't have 172 00:09:26,320 --> 00:09:30,320 Speaker 3: weapons and it felt like mac Jones didn't get the credit, 173 00:09:30,360 --> 00:09:32,559 Speaker 3: but he certainly got the blame. And then he got 174 00:09:32,640 --> 00:09:35,120 Speaker 3: kicked to the curb and you know, bounced around a 175 00:09:35,160 --> 00:09:37,280 Speaker 3: little bit. And now all of a sudden you go 176 00:09:37,280 --> 00:09:39,600 Speaker 3: to San Francisco and you saw that when he played. 177 00:09:40,040 --> 00:09:42,880 Speaker 3: I mean he can play. Now, he can be a 178 00:09:42,920 --> 00:09:46,400 Speaker 3: starting quarterback. I think it's like Malik Willis. Same thing 179 00:09:46,440 --> 00:09:49,800 Speaker 3: with Tennessee, where I thought he had a lot of talent. 180 00:09:50,200 --> 00:09:52,839 Speaker 3: It seemed like they moved on from him quickly. Oh man, 181 00:09:52,840 --> 00:09:55,439 Speaker 3: we got a draft will Levis. I'm like, okay, and 182 00:09:55,520 --> 00:09:57,440 Speaker 3: then they moved on quickly from him. 183 00:09:57,640 --> 00:10:00,640 Speaker 7: Yeah, Paulin Dan, I'm currently nerding out on quarterback drafted 184 00:10:00,640 --> 00:10:05,400 Speaker 7: by year. Remember twenty eleven, Cam Newton, Jake Locker, Blaine Gabert, 185 00:10:05,600 --> 00:10:10,360 Speaker 7: Christian Ponder, Andy Dalton, Colin Kaepernick, Ryan Mallett, with a 186 00:10:10,360 --> 00:10:12,160 Speaker 7: lot of names. 187 00:10:12,280 --> 00:10:13,679 Speaker 2: Yeah, but not a lot of good names. 188 00:10:13,679 --> 00:10:16,480 Speaker 7: No, but people loved Jake Locker until he got that 189 00:10:16,640 --> 00:10:19,120 Speaker 7: I did, I did, you weren't you weren't alone? 190 00:10:19,480 --> 00:10:23,400 Speaker 3: I thought, man, Jake Locker, Athletic played it you dub 191 00:10:24,240 --> 00:10:26,760 Speaker 3: and then I realized that he couldn't complete those passes 192 00:10:26,800 --> 00:10:31,160 Speaker 3: over the middle. Ryan Mallett was going to be a 193 00:10:31,200 --> 00:10:35,199 Speaker 3: big deal because he was Michigan and then he transferred 194 00:10:35,240 --> 00:10:41,200 Speaker 3: to Arkansas. Yeah yeah, Cam was obviously great. Who else 195 00:10:41,320 --> 00:10:42,120 Speaker 3: was in that draft? 196 00:10:44,840 --> 00:10:48,560 Speaker 7: Blaine Gabbert, Christian Ponder, Andy Dalton, Colin Kaepernick. 197 00:10:48,880 --> 00:10:53,800 Speaker 3: I love Dalton and I think he went first first pick, 198 00:10:53,920 --> 00:10:55,280 Speaker 3: second round at TCU. 199 00:10:55,400 --> 00:10:55,760 Speaker 4: That's right. 200 00:10:55,800 --> 00:11:02,439 Speaker 3: When he played in the Rose Bowl against uh Wisconsin, 201 00:11:03,760 --> 00:11:07,640 Speaker 3: wasn't it against JJ Watt? Of course I knew it, 202 00:11:08,120 --> 00:11:11,599 Speaker 3: and I thought, I thought Andy Dalton played an unbelievably 203 00:11:12,000 --> 00:11:16,080 Speaker 3: intelligent game, and I thought, man, he's, you know, red 204 00:11:16,160 --> 00:11:19,880 Speaker 3: rifle tall guy. He got some movement there, and I thought, man, 205 00:11:19,920 --> 00:11:22,400 Speaker 3: he's a good pickup. And he turned out to be 206 00:11:22,440 --> 00:11:25,679 Speaker 3: a pretty good pro, I would say, a decent pro. 207 00:11:26,960 --> 00:11:29,840 Speaker 3: Nice career, But that's just you know, it's who you 208 00:11:29,880 --> 00:11:32,600 Speaker 3: go to and when you go to that team, and 209 00:11:32,679 --> 00:11:35,600 Speaker 3: what is the infrastructure. So you can be a great talent, 210 00:11:36,240 --> 00:11:40,400 Speaker 3: actually you can be better than average talent, but be 211 00:11:40,559 --> 00:11:43,800 Speaker 3: on a team and they'll make you even better. You'll 212 00:11:43,840 --> 00:11:48,520 Speaker 3: look even better. And I think, like Jalen Hurts, that 213 00:11:48,559 --> 00:11:52,440 Speaker 3: team makes him look better. I think a standalone Jalen Hurts, 214 00:11:52,600 --> 00:11:55,199 Speaker 3: I don't think that he stands out as a great quarterback, 215 00:11:55,559 --> 00:11:58,880 Speaker 3: but he's great with what the Eagles do and probably 216 00:11:59,600 --> 00:12:03,319 Speaker 3: another super Bowl appearance. He's a hall of famer. He 217 00:12:03,440 --> 00:12:06,800 Speaker 3: might be a Hall of famer. Now he's not MVP 218 00:12:07,000 --> 00:12:10,400 Speaker 3: regular season, but you know the way this goes. Now, 219 00:12:10,440 --> 00:12:12,360 Speaker 3: you win a couple of super Bowls, you got a 220 00:12:12,440 --> 00:12:13,360 Speaker 3: chance to be a hall of famer. 221 00:12:13,440 --> 00:12:14,920 Speaker 2: Yeah, Paul, here's another draft for you. 222 00:12:15,280 --> 00:12:19,800 Speaker 7: Four Eli Manning, Philip Rivers, Ben Roethlisberger taken in the 223 00:12:19,800 --> 00:12:22,040 Speaker 7: first eleven picks, and a guy You and I loved 224 00:12:22,480 --> 00:12:25,040 Speaker 7: JP Lossman of Tulane to the Bills. 225 00:12:25,760 --> 00:12:26,840 Speaker 2: We were well on that. 226 00:12:26,880 --> 00:12:27,040 Speaker 4: Man. 227 00:12:27,200 --> 00:12:31,840 Speaker 2: It was almost an era right there. No, no, we 228 00:12:31,920 --> 00:12:32,199 Speaker 2: got it. 229 00:12:32,360 --> 00:12:36,559 Speaker 3: Okay, we loved JP Lossman because we loved TWU Lane's uniform. 230 00:12:36,559 --> 00:12:40,840 Speaker 2: That's right, We love their helmets and him. Yeah yeah, 231 00:12:40,880 --> 00:12:44,160 Speaker 2: did he go to Buffalo, Sure it did. Yeah, it 232 00:12:44,200 --> 00:12:45,280 Speaker 2: didn't surround him with talent. 233 00:12:45,400 --> 00:12:48,000 Speaker 6: Yeah, Buffalo had a few picks there where it was like, man, 234 00:12:48,040 --> 00:12:49,800 Speaker 6: if one of these hits, they're really going to be good. 235 00:12:49,800 --> 00:12:53,280 Speaker 2: And then they finally got Josh who was the Johnson? 236 00:12:53,360 --> 00:12:57,880 Speaker 2: Who is the Rob Johnson, Rob Johnson machine? Was he Buffalo? 237 00:12:57,960 --> 00:12:58,440 Speaker 4: Yeah? 238 00:12:58,520 --> 00:13:00,160 Speaker 2: Yeah, yes, Marvin J. 239 00:13:00,240 --> 00:13:03,640 Speaker 5: Maywel Also, he was the first quarterback taken by the 240 00:13:03,679 --> 00:13:04,560 Speaker 5: Bills in that year. 241 00:13:04,880 --> 00:13:10,080 Speaker 3: But when we had him on pre draft, he was unbelievable. Unbelievable. 242 00:13:10,080 --> 00:13:11,720 Speaker 3: We were like, I want him on my team. 243 00:13:12,280 --> 00:13:12,679 Speaker 4: Yeah. 244 00:13:12,720 --> 00:13:14,439 Speaker 2: I don't know how good he is, but I want 245 00:13:14,559 --> 00:13:15,720 Speaker 2: him on my team.

It means fun times for all because we've 283 00:15:06,720 --> 00:15:08,960 Speaker 9: graduated from hand size to arm size. I think we're 284 00:15:08,960 --> 00:15:10,480 Speaker 9: making progress to a society. 285 00:15:10,680 --> 00:15:12,600 Speaker 2: Okay, but where are we going after this? 286 00:15:14,520 --> 00:15:18,600 Speaker 9: Well? 287 00:15:19,080 --> 00:15:24,560 Speaker 3: That's that one literally go to. But does it really 288 00:15:24,600 --> 00:15:28,080 Speaker 3: matter about the now? Let's say a defensive lineman as 289 00:15:28,120 --> 00:15:31,440 Speaker 3: opposed to an offensive line and let be actually actually 290 00:15:31,440 --> 00:15:32,160 Speaker 3: serious about this. 291 00:15:32,240 --> 00:15:33,440 Speaker 2: Does it matter how much? 292 00:15:34,000 --> 00:15:35,760 Speaker 9: Yeah, it doesn't. And I didn't want to just have 293 00:15:35,800 --> 00:15:38,160 Speaker 9: my opinion, so I reached out to two of the 294 00:15:38,160 --> 00:15:41,440 Speaker 9: defensive coordinators that are of top five defenses in the league. 295 00:15:41,520 --> 00:15:44,520 Speaker 9: So guys I respect that know what they're doing. And 296 00:15:44,560 --> 00:15:47,440 Speaker 9: I said, what's the biggest issue with it? And and 297 00:15:47,480 --> 00:15:49,480 Speaker 9: they said, yeah, look, there are issues with it. And 298 00:15:49,720 --> 00:15:52,720 Speaker 9: some of it is, you know, you can't get off blocks. 299 00:15:52,800 --> 00:15:54,720 Speaker 9: You know that's you can just get you get, you're 300 00:15:54,720 --> 00:15:56,160 Speaker 9: going to hold you, They're gonna grab it. You can't 301 00:15:56,240 --> 00:15:58,880 Speaker 9: use your length to escape and get off blocks. There's 302 00:15:58,880 --> 00:16:01,320 Speaker 9: something to the ability to finished. They look at as 303 00:16:01,440 --> 00:16:03,680 Speaker 9: you know, finishing on some of these bigger quarterbacks that 304 00:16:03,680 --> 00:16:07,600 Speaker 9: that could come into play. But my follow up question was, well, 305 00:16:07,640 --> 00:16:10,080 Speaker 9: obviously it's not a death sentence, so what do you 306 00:16:10,120 --> 00:16:11,960 Speaker 9: need to have to overcome it? You know, if it's 307 00:16:11,960 --> 00:16:13,280 Speaker 9: not ideal, but what do you need to have because 308 00:16:13,280 --> 00:16:14,640 Speaker 9: to me, I've always just felt like if you can 309 00:16:14,640 --> 00:16:17,640 Speaker 9: play with leverage, empower and strength, you can you can 310 00:16:17,680 --> 00:16:20,040 Speaker 9: get away with it. And they said, no, absolutely, You've 311 00:16:20,040 --> 00:16:22,760 Speaker 9: got to beat blocks with your feet more with your hands, 312 00:16:22,760 --> 00:16:24,800 Speaker 9: which sounds kind of simple, but it is. You got 313 00:16:24,800 --> 00:16:27,080 Speaker 9: to be able to have like lower power to generate 314 00:16:27,120 --> 00:16:29,000 Speaker 9: to get through guys, or you got to be able 315 00:16:29,040 --> 00:16:31,520 Speaker 9: to win with with with your quickness. There's guys who 316 00:16:31,560 --> 00:16:33,840 Speaker 9: maybe aren't as quicker as fast, but they're so good 317 00:16:33,840 --> 00:16:36,120 Speaker 9: with their arms and so good with their hands and there, 318 00:16:36,160 --> 00:16:38,360 Speaker 9: and they're able to get off blocks that way. There's 319 00:16:38,440 --> 00:16:39,600 Speaker 9: just more ways to do it. 320 00:16:40,000 --> 00:16:43,000 Speaker 3: But more important for an offensive lineman tab longer orange 321 00:16:43,400 --> 00:16:44,320 Speaker 3: or defensive linemen. 322 00:16:45,880 --> 00:16:47,280 Speaker 9: I would say offensive lineman. 323 00:16:47,480 --> 00:16:47,720 Speaker 4: Yeah. 324 00:16:47,920 --> 00:16:50,640 Speaker 9: I just think when you're an offensive lineman and guys 325 00:16:50,640 --> 00:16:53,280 Speaker 9: can constantly get to your surface, I think that's that 326 00:16:53,360 --> 00:16:55,840 Speaker 9: makes your job a lot harder. And that's from look. 327 00:16:55,920 --> 00:16:57,920 Speaker 9: I you know, I cut my teeth in the league 328 00:16:57,960 --> 00:17:00,000 Speaker 9: watching Jonathan Ogden and I'm like, I mean, you could 329 00:17:00,200 --> 00:17:01,680 Speaker 9: put a fresh coat of paint on the front of 330 00:17:01,680 --> 00:17:04,320 Speaker 9: his jersey and they're no handprints because nobody could ever. 331 00:17:04,240 --> 00:17:04,760 Speaker 4: Get to him. 332 00:17:05,680 --> 00:17:07,399 Speaker 3: I don't know if it came up last year or 333 00:17:07,400 --> 00:17:10,680 Speaker 3: the year before with Will Campbell or you know, his 334 00:17:10,800 --> 00:17:14,240 Speaker 3: arm length or lack thereof. Was it a big deal 335 00:17:14,359 --> 00:17:16,320 Speaker 3: the fact that he was a top five pick. 336 00:17:17,240 --> 00:17:19,159 Speaker 9: Yeah, but I'd have to go back I mean to me, like, 337 00:17:19,160 --> 00:17:21,399 Speaker 9: I think Parsons was thirty one and a half. I 338 00:17:21,400 --> 00:17:23,359 Speaker 9: think what was jarring is that when you get to 339 00:17:23,560 --> 00:17:25,760 Speaker 9: thirty one and you start getting below like the Cashus 340 00:17:25,800 --> 00:17:28,800 Speaker 9: Howel was below thirty one inches, like, like that's something 341 00:17:28,800 --> 00:17:30,320 Speaker 9: we just don't don't see a lot of. 342 00:17:30,320 --> 00:17:30,760 Speaker 2: But I was. 343 00:17:31,119 --> 00:17:33,639 Speaker 9: I was joking around with one of my former GM 344 00:17:33,680 --> 00:17:36,639 Speaker 9: buddies and we were just talking about this and laughing 345 00:17:36,720 --> 00:17:39,879 Speaker 9: because he was telling a story about how they had 346 00:17:39,920 --> 00:17:42,520 Speaker 9: an offensive lineman that they liked, but he didn't run 347 00:17:42,520 --> 00:17:44,480 Speaker 9: a good forty at the combine and they didn't run 348 00:17:44,520 --> 00:17:47,200 Speaker 9: a good forty at the pro day set, so they 349 00:17:47,240 --> 00:17:48,960 Speaker 9: liked him, so they just kept sending different scouts out 350 00:17:48,960 --> 00:17:50,640 Speaker 9: there to time him in a forty until they eventually 351 00:17:50,640 --> 00:17:52,760 Speaker 9: got one that they liked. See, we know he's gonna run. 352 00:17:52,760 --> 00:17:55,359 Speaker 9: There's nothing wrong with this guy. You know, we used 353 00:17:55,400 --> 00:17:57,320 Speaker 9: to do it, you know, hand size, arm length or 354 00:17:57,320 --> 00:18:00,960 Speaker 9: hand size, and like I scout on the West Coast 355 00:18:01,000 --> 00:18:02,760 Speaker 9: for a period of time, and so if there was 356 00:18:02,800 --> 00:18:06,679 Speaker 9: a quarterback, maybe his hands were well undersized or what 357 00:18:06,720 --> 00:18:09,119 Speaker 9: have you. And like, guys, we get together, like, hey, guys, 358 00:18:09,160 --> 00:18:11,160 Speaker 9: all of us have big grades on this player. We're 359 00:18:11,200 --> 00:18:13,399 Speaker 9: all taking crap back at our home teams in these 360 00:18:13,480 --> 00:18:16,040 Speaker 9: draft meetings, like whatever we got to do to get 361 00:18:16,080 --> 00:18:18,360 Speaker 9: that thing stretched out when we measure this thing. Let's 362 00:18:18,400 --> 00:18:19,640 Speaker 9: do ourselves a favor here. 363 00:18:20,240 --> 00:18:22,840 Speaker 2: But his hand size important at this year's come by. 364 00:18:23,600 --> 00:18:25,800 Speaker 9: No, we've had no hand size debait, but the quarterbacks 365 00:18:25,840 --> 00:18:26,560 Speaker 9: haven't gotten. 366 00:18:26,359 --> 00:18:29,560 Speaker 3: Oh okay, well why why don't we Why don't we 367 00:18:29,840 --> 00:18:32,119 Speaker 3: focus on the wide receivers with their hands? 368 00:18:33,280 --> 00:18:35,560 Speaker 9: Well, yeah, it'll they'll come up. I mean, it's just 369 00:18:35,760 --> 00:18:38,240 Speaker 9: if there's a correlation between the drops and then he's 370 00:18:38,280 --> 00:18:42,000 Speaker 9: got small hands. But you know that's not it's not 371 00:18:42,040 --> 00:18:45,000 Speaker 9: nearly as as prevalent as the quarterback discussion. But I 372 00:18:45,080 --> 00:18:47,920 Speaker 9: always go back to this stuff with my the way 373 00:18:47,960 --> 00:18:51,000 Speaker 9: I look at like Reuben Bain. So if I watch 374 00:18:51,080 --> 00:18:53,080 Speaker 9: a player and I don't know any of his measurables, 375 00:18:53,320 --> 00:18:55,760 Speaker 9: you know, if I don't, if I haven't documented in 376 00:18:55,800 --> 00:18:57,680 Speaker 9: my notes, and I've gone through four or five games 377 00:18:57,720 --> 00:18:59,560 Speaker 9: and I've you know, watched a bunch of tape on him, 378 00:18:59,600 --> 00:19:02,080 Speaker 9: and I don't have concerns about it that I'm not 379 00:19:02,119 --> 00:19:03,960 Speaker 9: going to be as worried about it. If his measurements 380 00:19:03,960 --> 00:19:06,720 Speaker 9: come in low, what would be concerning. Is there like 381 00:19:06,840 --> 00:19:08,680 Speaker 9: cashus how maybe a little bit more so where there's 382 00:19:08,720 --> 00:19:10,879 Speaker 9: times with him where I see he can play a 383 00:19:10,880 --> 00:19:12,840 Speaker 9: little bit small at times when he gets into guys 384 00:19:12,840 --> 00:19:14,680 Speaker 9: he can't get off of him. I've seen Bain get 385 00:19:14,720 --> 00:19:17,639 Speaker 9: engaged and be able to free himself, whereas Cash is Howe, 386 00:19:17,720 --> 00:19:19,720 Speaker 9: at that point, Tom, that down might be over. So 387 00:19:20,040 --> 00:19:22,639 Speaker 9: if I have notes about it as a concern not 388 00:19:22,720 --> 00:19:25,240 Speaker 9: knowing measurables, and then the measurables come in and kind 389 00:19:25,240 --> 00:19:26,840 Speaker 9: of confirm her notes, then I think it's valid. 390 00:19:27,840 --> 00:19:30,200 Speaker 3: The ty Simpson love I think is going to be coming. 391 00:19:30,600 --> 00:19:35,119 Speaker 3: We see this every draft where somebody we focus on 392 00:19:35,119 --> 00:19:38,119 Speaker 3: Fernando Mendoza, then we might start looking at negatives with 393 00:19:38,200 --> 00:19:41,719 Speaker 3: Fernando Mendoza. Then we're looking for another quarterback who we 394 00:19:41,720 --> 00:19:44,919 Speaker 3: can talk about and ty Simpson will probably get It 395 00:19:44,960 --> 00:19:47,879 Speaker 3: feels like a little bit of love coming up. But 396 00:19:48,320 --> 00:19:53,560 Speaker 3: compare the two and with ty Simpson in Alabama and 397 00:19:53,600 --> 00:19:55,240 Speaker 3: of course Mendoza. 398 00:19:55,800 --> 00:19:57,760 Speaker 9: Yeah, I think there's a pretty good gap. You know, 399 00:19:57,800 --> 00:20:01,560 Speaker 9: in my opinion, how I see him, I just Mendoza. 400 00:20:01,680 --> 00:20:04,040 Speaker 9: You know. The hard thing about his evaluation, and I've 401 00:20:04,040 --> 00:20:05,480 Speaker 9: talked about this a little bit, is that. You know, 402 00:20:05,480 --> 00:20:07,800 Speaker 9: people talk about the RPOs and how quick the ball 403 00:20:07,920 --> 00:20:09,720 Speaker 9: you know comes out a lot of the times, Well, 404 00:20:10,040 --> 00:20:13,480 Speaker 9: spoiler alert, that's college football. That's that's how a lot 405 00:20:13,480 --> 00:20:15,439 Speaker 9: of these guys are playing the game. You have to 406 00:20:15,440 --> 00:20:16,919 Speaker 9: be able to cut through that. So the way I 407 00:20:17,040 --> 00:20:19,679 Speaker 9: do it and is, you know, you take the whole season, 408 00:20:19,720 --> 00:20:21,240 Speaker 9: You watch the games you're going to watch. But then 409 00:20:21,280 --> 00:20:23,159 Speaker 9: I like to go back and look at these situations. 410 00:20:23,160 --> 00:20:25,800 Speaker 9: Third and seven plus you're not our RPO and a 411 00:20:25,800 --> 00:20:27,399 Speaker 9: third seven plus and ever in the staium knows you're 412 00:20:27,400 --> 00:20:29,600 Speaker 9: throwing the football the red zone where the space is 413 00:20:29,640 --> 00:20:32,720 Speaker 9: condensed and you got to make more tight throws. I 414 00:20:32,760 --> 00:20:35,440 Speaker 9: look at in game situations and then I look in 415 00:20:35,560 --> 00:20:38,720 Speaker 9: big stage games, you know, big stage moments, and I'm like, Dan, 416 00:20:38,800 --> 00:20:40,879 Speaker 9: he ches every single one of those tests that he 417 00:20:40,920 --> 00:20:42,320 Speaker 9: didn't throw a pick in the red zone. It's like 418 00:20:43,000 --> 00:20:45,639 Speaker 9: crazy numbers inside the red zone. You look at him 419 00:20:45,640 --> 00:20:47,520 Speaker 9: when everybody in the stadium knows they're throwing the ball 420 00:20:47,560 --> 00:20:49,960 Speaker 9: and okay, sometimes it can be a little back shoulder 421 00:20:50,040 --> 00:20:52,240 Speaker 9: heavy and he gets criticized for that. I'm like, I 422 00:20:52,280 --> 00:20:53,879 Speaker 9: don't know, I keep throwing it too. They can't, they 423 00:20:53,920 --> 00:20:56,880 Speaker 9: can't cover those receivers on the outside when he pinpoints 424 00:20:56,920 --> 00:20:58,919 Speaker 9: the ball on their back shoulder. But I've seen him 425 00:20:58,960 --> 00:21:01,760 Speaker 9: footballs in tight space. Says he's big, he can move. 426 00:21:02,680 --> 00:21:04,159 Speaker 9: If you need him to get some free arts, he 427 00:21:04,160 --> 00:21:07,600 Speaker 9: can take him with Tye. I like like. Tye is 428 00:21:07,640 --> 00:21:09,920 Speaker 9: someone who I in my opinion, I think a lot 429 00:21:09,920 --> 00:21:13,080 Speaker 9: of former quarterbacks are going to take to him because 430 00:21:13,119 --> 00:21:16,000 Speaker 9: he's the son of a coach. Everything from a mechanical 431 00:21:16,040 --> 00:21:20,679 Speaker 9: standpoint is beautiful and flawless, like great feet, nice delivery. 432 00:21:20,960 --> 00:21:23,920 Speaker 9: He does not have a huge arm. There's times and 433 00:21:23,960 --> 00:21:26,880 Speaker 9: their offensive line was not a traditional Alabama offensive line. 434 00:21:26,880 --> 00:21:28,800 Speaker 9: They didn't have the traditional benefits that you'd have in 435 00:21:28,840 --> 00:21:31,399 Speaker 9: that program, So there was a lot of bodies around him, 436 00:21:31,400 --> 00:21:32,959 Speaker 9: and I thought there were times he just got He 437 00:21:32,960 --> 00:21:34,960 Speaker 9: looked small, the ball was coming out of his hand, 438 00:21:35,240 --> 00:21:36,560 Speaker 9: he looked like he was thrown out of a well. 439 00:21:36,600 --> 00:21:38,800 Speaker 9: The ball would kind of take off on him. 440 00:21:39,119 --> 00:21:40,000 Speaker 2: So I like him. 441 00:21:40,000 --> 00:21:42,560 Speaker 9: He's my fortieth player. I think he's the second round guy, 442 00:21:42,760 --> 00:21:44,760 Speaker 9: and I've you know, if somebody wants to take him 443 00:21:44,760 --> 00:21:46,040 Speaker 9: in the back of the first round to get the 444 00:21:46,080 --> 00:21:48,639 Speaker 9: extra year, I can get with that. I just I 445 00:21:48,680 --> 00:21:51,200 Speaker 9: don't see him as the top half of the first round, 446 00:21:51,200 --> 00:21:54,199 Speaker 9: top fifteen type pick. And the other reason for that 447 00:21:54,240 --> 00:21:55,600 Speaker 9: is I think every year you're going to have more 448 00:21:55,640 --> 00:21:58,959 Speaker 9: Ty Simpsons coming along, whereas Fernanda Mendoza. Those guys are 449 00:21:58,960 --> 00:22:00,480 Speaker 9: a little bit harder to find, so. 450 00:22:00,440 --> 00:22:04,040 Speaker 3: I can do Daniel Jeremiah, NFL network analyst and his 451 00:22:04,119 --> 00:22:07,919 Speaker 3: podcast Moving the Sticks, joining us from the combine Jeremiah 452 00:22:07,960 --> 00:22:10,880 Speaker 3: Love three down running back. 453 00:22:11,760 --> 00:22:12,400 Speaker 4: Oh yeah, yeah. 454 00:22:12,400 --> 00:22:15,879 Speaker 9: He's got elite hands, like route running hands, you know, 455 00:22:16,280 --> 00:22:18,439 Speaker 9: and all the dynamic stuff that comes along with him 456 00:22:18,440 --> 00:22:21,840 Speaker 9: in the backfields. He's my second overall player. He is 457 00:22:21,880 --> 00:22:24,320 Speaker 9: a very, very talented dude. He's more than just somebody 458 00:22:24,280 --> 00:22:26,560 Speaker 9: you turn around and put in his stomach, like, he 459 00:22:26,920 --> 00:22:27,880 Speaker 9: can do a lot of different things. 460 00:22:28,040 --> 00:22:30,920 Speaker 3: Yeah, And I don't know, you know, with the success 461 00:22:30,960 --> 00:22:33,919 Speaker 3: of Jamir Gibbs and Jean Robinson and you know, some 462 00:22:34,000 --> 00:22:38,720 Speaker 3: of these other hybrids there. Of course McCaffrey, I would 463 00:22:38,920 --> 00:22:42,600 Speaker 3: you fell in love with him watching him play this year. 464 00:22:42,640 --> 00:22:45,240 Speaker 3: He was the one playmaker that I thought was different 465 00:22:45,280 --> 00:22:47,760 Speaker 3: than any other player on the football field every single 466 00:22:47,800 --> 00:22:50,480 Speaker 3: game that he played in. And that's kind of hard 467 00:22:50,520 --> 00:22:53,200 Speaker 3: to do, but I just felt, you know, he's running 468 00:22:53,240 --> 00:22:55,879 Speaker 3: it from ninety yards like you're a threat, you're a 469 00:22:55,920 --> 00:22:59,720 Speaker 3: threat inside your own ten yard line, But I don't 470 00:22:59,720 --> 00:23:02,360 Speaker 3: know where's the landing spot for him? 471 00:23:02,720 --> 00:23:06,480 Speaker 9: Well that's there's two conversations, right, I mean, we agree 472 00:23:06,520 --> 00:23:09,200 Speaker 9: on his greatness and how special he is, and then 473 00:23:09,400 --> 00:23:11,720 Speaker 9: he's my second overall player. And then the next question 474 00:23:11,760 --> 00:23:13,640 Speaker 9: that follows up is okay, well where does he go? 475 00:23:14,280 --> 00:23:16,199 Speaker 9: And then you start looking at we saw yesterday with 476 00:23:16,240 --> 00:23:19,000 Speaker 9: some of those guys to Ohio State. Kids are absolute freaks. 477 00:23:19,480 --> 00:23:21,359 Speaker 9: So you're looking at guys and you start playing the 478 00:23:21,359 --> 00:23:24,320 Speaker 9: position priority game. You start looking at needs. But when 479 00:23:24,320 --> 00:23:27,680 Speaker 9: I say, like, where could it start? I mean, I 480 00:23:28,000 --> 00:23:29,680 Speaker 9: don't think the Jets would do it at too. I 481 00:23:29,720 --> 00:23:31,879 Speaker 9: think they're kind of that feels definitely more like a 482 00:23:31,920 --> 00:23:34,879 Speaker 9: front player, defensive front player. I would say you could 483 00:23:34,960 --> 00:23:38,880 Speaker 9: start the conversation at three with Arizona in Tennessee. I mean, 484 00:23:38,880 --> 00:23:41,000 Speaker 9: that's where the conversation would start. But I still think 485 00:23:41,040 --> 00:23:44,159 Speaker 9: that probably lends more to big guys, to offense and 486 00:23:44,240 --> 00:23:46,320 Speaker 9: defensive linemen. Probably, you know, at this point time, I 487 00:23:46,359 --> 00:23:49,160 Speaker 9: would say more so defensive lineman. And then the sweet 488 00:23:49,200 --> 00:23:52,800 Speaker 9: spot to me is seven eight nine. When you look 489 00:23:52,840 --> 00:23:55,719 Speaker 9: at Washington New Orleans, Kansas City. I don't think that's 490 00:23:55,960 --> 00:23:57,440 Speaker 9: that's a neighborhood he's not going to be able to 491 00:23:57,480 --> 00:23:57,919 Speaker 9: get out of. 492 00:23:58,359 --> 00:24:00,960 Speaker 2: You imagine if he goes to Kansas City. 493 00:24:01,080 --> 00:24:02,800 Speaker 9: You don't know how many times I've I've got that 494 00:24:02,840 --> 00:24:05,320 Speaker 9: from people in the league. They're like, we finally got 495 00:24:05,359 --> 00:24:07,240 Speaker 9: these guys and not make them playoffs. You know, please 496 00:24:07,280 --> 00:24:08,560 Speaker 9: not put Jeremiah Love there. 497 00:24:09,600 --> 00:24:12,800 Speaker 3: If I put Mendoza in the twenty twenty four draft, 498 00:24:14,080 --> 00:24:15,920 Speaker 3: how many quarterbacks go ahead of him? 499 00:24:16,280 --> 00:24:20,960 Speaker 9: So three from me? So I had it Caleb, Drake, Jaden, 500 00:24:21,680 --> 00:24:23,720 Speaker 9: and then I would have him in there, and then 501 00:24:23,760 --> 00:24:27,199 Speaker 9: you get into you know the Niwix, McCarthy, Pennix, So 502 00:24:27,520 --> 00:24:29,040 Speaker 9: that's where he would be. But those three guys I 503 00:24:29,040 --> 00:24:32,280 Speaker 9: mean that I had, those guys were outstanding, and we've 504 00:24:32,280 --> 00:24:34,080 Speaker 9: already seen that kind of bear itself out. 505 00:24:35,359 --> 00:24:40,600 Speaker 3: The Raiders draft strategy that, Okay, you take Mendoza. Yeah, 506 00:24:40,960 --> 00:24:42,680 Speaker 3: I mean, even if you go back to last year, 507 00:24:42,800 --> 00:24:45,640 Speaker 3: you're taking gent but you don't have a good offensive line. 508 00:24:45,640 --> 00:24:49,719 Speaker 3: You got a really good tackle And I just wonder 509 00:24:50,520 --> 00:24:54,399 Speaker 3: putting Mendoza in a situation like that, do you trust 510 00:24:54,400 --> 00:24:59,000 Speaker 3: the Raiders they can fortify that offensive line. 511 00:24:59,280 --> 00:25:01,120 Speaker 9: So here's what I would do, Dan, And maybe it's 512 00:25:01,119 --> 00:25:03,000 Speaker 9: just symbolic and it would be kind of funny, but 513 00:25:03,000 --> 00:25:04,639 Speaker 9: I would want to make my point if you're in 514 00:25:04,680 --> 00:25:07,000 Speaker 9: the draft room. If you go inside a draft room, 515 00:25:07,000 --> 00:25:08,480 Speaker 9: and now it's a lot more digital and they can 516 00:25:08,480 --> 00:25:10,760 Speaker 9: display it from a digital display, But when I was 517 00:25:10,840 --> 00:25:12,520 Speaker 9: doing it was cards. You have the cards up on 518 00:25:12,560 --> 00:25:14,639 Speaker 9: the wall, so you had the whole left side of 519 00:25:14,680 --> 00:25:17,159 Speaker 9: the huge wall. Left side is all the defensive players. 520 00:25:17,400 --> 00:25:20,160 Speaker 9: The right side is all the offensive players. So when 521 00:25:20,280 --> 00:25:21,919 Speaker 9: you know, you come in there for your first meeting 522 00:25:22,080 --> 00:25:23,720 Speaker 9: and maybe you got all your coaches in there for 523 00:25:23,760 --> 00:25:26,080 Speaker 9: the first time. After the season it's over, you have 524 00:25:26,119 --> 00:25:27,720 Speaker 9: the whole draft board up there. I would have a 525 00:25:27,800 --> 00:25:29,359 Speaker 9: race the entire defensive side of the board and I 526 00:25:29,359 --> 00:25:32,159 Speaker 9: would say, apologies and defensive coaches, but this year we 527 00:25:32,160 --> 00:25:34,359 Speaker 9: will just be drafting from this side of the board 528 00:25:35,359 --> 00:25:38,119 Speaker 9: to help to help our young quarterback. So you know, 529 00:25:38,240 --> 00:25:40,240 Speaker 9: I know, and I think I might even hurt this 530 00:25:40,280 --> 00:25:43,560 Speaker 9: on your show, like it's a good conversation, but you know, okay, 531 00:25:43,640 --> 00:25:45,639 Speaker 9: are they equipped right now with where they are to 532 00:25:45,680 --> 00:25:48,240 Speaker 9: take a quarterback? And what I would say is, now, 533 00:25:48,320 --> 00:25:51,200 Speaker 9: I think it's there's proof of concept and recently proof 534 00:25:51,240 --> 00:25:54,000 Speaker 9: of concept the Bears. I mean they revamped their pretty 535 00:25:54,040 --> 00:25:56,480 Speaker 9: much the whole O line in one year. The the 536 00:25:56,600 --> 00:25:57,880 Speaker 9: you know, like I know, it didn't They didn't play 537 00:25:57,880 --> 00:25:59,359 Speaker 9: as well as they would have liked in the Super Bowl. 538 00:25:59,440 --> 00:26:02,240 Speaker 9: But New England swapped out four starters in one year 539 00:26:02,400 --> 00:26:04,560 Speaker 9: and advanced all the way to the Super Bowl. I 540 00:26:04,600 --> 00:26:07,240 Speaker 9: think with free agency, you gotta, you gotta. You're gonna 541 00:26:07,240 --> 00:26:09,480 Speaker 9: have to overpay because you know you're the Raiders and 542 00:26:09,480 --> 00:26:10,840 Speaker 9: where you are right now, you're gonna have to outbid 543 00:26:10,920 --> 00:26:13,320 Speaker 9: some folks for the Tyler Linderbaums of the world. But 544 00:26:13,400 --> 00:26:15,080 Speaker 9: I would go all in on trying to get one 545 00:26:15,119 --> 00:26:17,440 Speaker 9: or two of those guys in free agency. Colton Miller 546 00:26:17,480 --> 00:26:19,919 Speaker 9: comes back healthy, that's probably the hardest piece to find it. 547 00:26:19,920 --> 00:26:22,440 Speaker 9: You've got a good functional left tackle, and then now 548 00:26:22,480 --> 00:26:24,880 Speaker 9: we go draft some some interior guys or a right 549 00:26:24,920 --> 00:26:28,000 Speaker 9: tackle as well. Throughout the draft. I think they can 550 00:26:28,040 --> 00:26:30,439 Speaker 9: make it comfortable enough that Mendoza can survive. 551 00:26:31,200 --> 00:26:34,760 Speaker 2: I just don't want another Andrew lux situation. Yeah, a 552 00:26:34,880 --> 00:26:36,080 Speaker 2: dating far situation. 553 00:26:36,840 --> 00:26:39,160 Speaker 9: I I I one hundred percent agree with you there. 554 00:26:39,280 --> 00:26:42,520 Speaker 9: But that's where the that's why you know, I apologize 555 00:26:42,560 --> 00:26:44,120 Speaker 9: to my coaches, and I've said this for the last 556 00:26:44,160 --> 00:26:47,119 Speaker 9: few years on anybody that takes a quarterback high. I 557 00:26:47,720 --> 00:26:50,040 Speaker 9: you have to look look to the future and and 558 00:26:50,160 --> 00:26:52,040 Speaker 9: just put yourself there and say, okay, at the end 559 00:26:52,119 --> 00:26:54,959 Speaker 9: of this year, not all seven and ten records are 560 00:26:55,000 --> 00:26:58,439 Speaker 9: the same. If we're seven and ten and my quarterback's 561 00:26:58,440 --> 00:27:01,240 Speaker 9: playing well and we're losing third one to twenty eight, man, 562 00:27:01,520 --> 00:27:04,520 Speaker 9: like you, your owner, your fan base is gonna feel 563 00:27:04,520 --> 00:27:06,800 Speaker 9: a lot better about that seven and ten team. Then 564 00:27:06,880 --> 00:27:08,399 Speaker 9: you thump in your chest and saying, we got a 565 00:27:08,440 --> 00:27:10,879 Speaker 9: top five defense. Don't know if this quarterback's any good 566 00:27:10,920 --> 00:27:12,920 Speaker 9: and he missed four games, he got the crap kicked 567 00:27:12,920 --> 00:27:14,760 Speaker 9: out of him, but we got a great defense. Like 568 00:27:14,800 --> 00:27:17,040 Speaker 9: that's those two records are the same, but they are 569 00:27:17,040 --> 00:27:18,600 Speaker 9: not the same in terms of the hope in the 570 00:27:18,640 --> 00:27:19,640 Speaker 9: in the direction of the team. 571 00:27:19,760 --> 00:27:22,480 Speaker 2: Who is the quarterback you loved? But he didn't plan 572 00:27:22,720 --> 00:27:23,640 Speaker 2: a pan out? 573 00:27:25,000 --> 00:27:27,400 Speaker 9: Oh gosh, that's I mean, I'm sure there's a long list. 574 00:27:27,600 --> 00:27:30,880 Speaker 9: I will say I didn't go into the school when 575 00:27:30,960 --> 00:27:33,199 Speaker 9: JaMarcus Russell was coming out. I went and saw him 576 00:27:33,240 --> 00:27:36,359 Speaker 9: play live, and I watched his tape and when I 577 00:27:36,400 --> 00:27:38,119 Speaker 9: was a young young skuy at that point in time. 578 00:27:38,560 --> 00:27:40,560 Speaker 9: That was the probably the most talented guy that I 579 00:27:40,600 --> 00:27:42,679 Speaker 9: ever saw. And it was like, Okay, I don't know 580 00:27:42,760 --> 00:27:44,640 Speaker 9: all the other stuff, the guys going to school get 581 00:27:44,640 --> 00:27:46,359 Speaker 9: all the character and the work ethic all that, but 582 00:27:46,400 --> 00:27:48,240 Speaker 9: I'd never seen the guy throw football like that. And 583 00:27:48,280 --> 00:27:50,240 Speaker 9: I was like this, I don't know how this doesn't work. 584 00:27:50,280 --> 00:27:52,719 Speaker 9: That guy's that's insane with the ability that he had. 585 00:27:52,760 --> 00:27:54,080 Speaker 9: And obviously we know that worked out. 586 00:27:54,200 --> 00:27:55,240 Speaker 2: Why didn't it work out? 587 00:27:56,280 --> 00:27:58,800 Speaker 9: I think it was probably more the other stuff, you know, 588 00:27:59,160 --> 00:28:02,040 Speaker 9: just in terms of the focus. He got heavy, you know, 589 00:28:02,119 --> 00:28:06,720 Speaker 9: the work ethic. I think those were more issues. I'm 590 00:28:06,760 --> 00:28:08,080 Speaker 9: telling you this day, Dan, it looked like he was 591 00:28:08,119 --> 00:28:09,959 Speaker 9: doing a nerf turbo. Like when you went out there 592 00:28:09,960 --> 00:28:11,560 Speaker 9: and watched him, it looked like he had that little 593 00:28:11,640 --> 00:28:14,520 Speaker 9: little tiny nerf turbo that whistled, that whistled when you 594 00:28:14,600 --> 00:28:14,919 Speaker 9: threw it. 595 00:28:15,480 --> 00:28:18,440 Speaker 2: Would you take a chance on Kyler or Tua? 596 00:28:20,240 --> 00:28:22,199 Speaker 9: I would? I think I would. I would do Kyler 597 00:28:22,240 --> 00:28:26,480 Speaker 9: on that one. I think he's more talented, more talented 598 00:28:26,520 --> 00:28:30,080 Speaker 9: guy and so and I've seen him, like I look 599 00:28:30,119 --> 00:28:31,920 Speaker 9: two has had some good moments for sure, and he's 600 00:28:31,920 --> 00:28:34,240 Speaker 9: played well, and I think that was I think it's 601 00:28:34,280 --> 00:28:38,480 Speaker 9: just very specific the uh environment for two to be successful. 602 00:28:38,520 --> 00:28:40,520 Speaker 9: I think Kyler could be a little more successful in 603 00:28:40,560 --> 00:28:41,840 Speaker 9: some different circumstances. 604 00:28:41,880 --> 00:28:44,920 Speaker 3: See, the problem I have is he's more talented, but 605 00:28:45,000 --> 00:28:47,160 Speaker 3: they're both kind of at the same place in their 606 00:28:47,200 --> 00:28:51,280 Speaker 3: careers where you know that if I'm going to take 607 00:28:51,280 --> 00:28:53,360 Speaker 3: a chance on him, he does have this talent, but 608 00:28:53,440 --> 00:28:55,920 Speaker 3: he didn't really showcase it the way he should have. 609 00:28:56,360 --> 00:28:58,440 Speaker 3: What why am I going to be led to believe 610 00:28:58,440 --> 00:29:00,800 Speaker 3: that he's going to now now he's going to be 611 00:29:00,960 --> 00:29:03,400 Speaker 3: Kyler Murray Well. 612 00:29:03,440 --> 00:29:04,920 Speaker 9: And the other side of that, though, is you get 613 00:29:04,960 --> 00:29:06,800 Speaker 9: two and all the head injuries. 614 00:29:06,800 --> 00:29:10,160 Speaker 3: Oh yeah, I don't want either one of them. Yes, yes, 615 00:29:10,280 --> 00:29:13,200 Speaker 3: I just and if I had to choose between two. 616 00:29:13,600 --> 00:29:15,360 Speaker 9: Yeah, I mean I kind of factoring all of that 617 00:29:15,400 --> 00:29:17,960 Speaker 9: stuff in together. But I'm just saying, at least at 618 00:29:18,040 --> 00:29:20,960 Speaker 9: least with Kyler, I mean, well, you know, maybe we 619 00:29:20,960 --> 00:29:23,360 Speaker 9: don't have a perfect offensive line. Like he can try 620 00:29:23,360 --> 00:29:25,000 Speaker 9: and run around and get me out of some stuff 621 00:29:25,000 --> 00:29:27,240 Speaker 9: with that, and he's given me he just gives me 622 00:29:27,280 --> 00:29:29,040 Speaker 9: more opportunities, whereas two, I think you got to have 623 00:29:29,080 --> 00:29:30,680 Speaker 9: a very firm offensive line. You got to have a 624 00:29:30,720 --> 00:29:33,040 Speaker 9: track team on the outside, and you have, you know, 625 00:29:33,040 --> 00:29:36,120 Speaker 9: an RPO quick passing game system very tailored to him. 626 00:29:36,640 --> 00:29:38,960 Speaker 2: You can have Mac Jones or Malik Willis. 627 00:29:40,240 --> 00:29:43,000 Speaker 9: I think I'd want to test out Malik Willis. Yeah, 628 00:29:43,120 --> 00:29:45,360 Speaker 9: I feel like I know I know where Mack is, 629 00:29:45,400 --> 00:29:48,200 Speaker 9: which is can be a good thing and a bad thing. Malik, 630 00:29:48,240 --> 00:29:50,680 Speaker 9: I don't have certainty there, but I'd be excited to 631 00:29:50,720 --> 00:29:52,160 Speaker 9: just see, just to see what we can do. 632 00:29:52,280 --> 00:29:52,880 Speaker 2: I like him. 633 00:29:53,360 --> 00:29:56,640 Speaker 3: I just think he's going to get that three year, 634 00:29:56,720 --> 00:30:01,840 Speaker 3: one hundred million dollar contract, and I would be excited 635 00:30:02,040 --> 00:30:05,440 Speaker 3: if if my team got Malik Willis, even if it's 636 00:30:05,480 --> 00:30:08,160 Speaker 3: the Dolphins or you know, I don't know if Minnesota. 637 00:30:08,280 --> 00:30:10,240 Speaker 3: But I don't mean what what do you hear at 638 00:30:10,240 --> 00:30:13,880 Speaker 3: the combine on destinations for some of these guys. 639 00:30:14,240 --> 00:30:16,560 Speaker 9: Yeah, I mean, look, it's just you're walking in the 640 00:30:16,560 --> 00:30:18,640 Speaker 9: halls and people are talking, and I don't know how 641 00:30:18,720 --> 00:30:20,760 Speaker 9: much you read into this historically over the years, how 642 00:30:20,840 --> 00:30:22,720 Speaker 9: much of it's accurate. But just a couple of things 643 00:30:22,760 --> 00:30:26,160 Speaker 9: that you hear was okay that you know Malik Willis 644 00:30:26,200 --> 00:30:28,920 Speaker 9: was Arizona. You know you heard that kicked around? Is 645 00:30:28,920 --> 00:30:31,040 Speaker 9: that he could you know, that could make sense with Arizona. 646 00:30:32,160 --> 00:30:34,240 Speaker 9: The one that I was heard was interesting was Gino 647 00:30:34,600 --> 00:30:38,320 Speaker 9: going to Minnesota was one that people were talking about 648 00:30:38,360 --> 00:30:40,640 Speaker 9: to give him the veteran with with McCarthy to see 649 00:30:40,680 --> 00:30:43,560 Speaker 9: where that goes. And then it just seemed to be 650 00:30:43,600 --> 00:30:45,680 Speaker 9: like there would be a good market for Kirk Cousins 651 00:30:45,880 --> 00:30:47,520 Speaker 9: was the other buzz that you hear, but not tied 652 00:30:47,560 --> 00:30:50,239 Speaker 9: an it's not not tied any specific team, but you know, 653 00:30:50,360 --> 00:30:51,680 Speaker 9: that was that was interesting. 654 00:30:51,720 --> 00:30:54,320 Speaker 3: But he's better than Michael Pennix. But they moved on 655 00:30:54,520 --> 00:30:55,600 Speaker 3: from Kirk Cousins. 656 00:30:56,120 --> 00:30:57,920 Speaker 9: Yeah, yeah, I mean it sounds like that's done.

You know, every time I have you on, 685 00:32:30,400 --> 00:32:32,560 Speaker 3: I always think, why aren't you in the Hall of Fame? 686 00:32:33,800 --> 00:32:37,320 Speaker 3: Now it's seven titles and okay, and the reason why 687 00:32:37,360 --> 00:32:40,000 Speaker 3: I bring it up and now I really feel like 688 00:32:40,720 --> 00:32:44,640 Speaker 3: this is an injustice. Michael Cooper's in because he was 689 00:32:44,920 --> 00:32:49,120 Speaker 3: part of a collaboration with the Lakers one team. But 690 00:32:49,280 --> 00:32:52,800 Speaker 3: you won titles with the Lakers, the Rockets, in the Spurs, 691 00:32:52,920 --> 00:32:57,960 Speaker 3: and your nickname is big Shot Bob. I'm just trying 692 00:32:58,000 --> 00:33:00,480 Speaker 3: to understand, like you were a semi five unless I 693 00:33:00,480 --> 00:33:01,600 Speaker 3: think last year, Is that right? 694 00:33:02,800 --> 00:33:03,160 Speaker 4: I think? 695 00:33:03,160 --> 00:33:06,640 Speaker 10: So, you know, I don't keep up, but because if 696 00:33:06,680 --> 00:33:08,520 Speaker 10: I don't get in, I'd be too heartbroken. 697 00:33:08,600 --> 00:33:09,720 Speaker 4: So I don't really keep up. 698 00:33:10,480 --> 00:33:13,800 Speaker 3: But somebody makes a case for you. Somebody presents your 699 00:33:13,920 --> 00:33:15,560 Speaker 3: case to the correct the committee. 700 00:33:16,200 --> 00:33:16,560 Speaker 4: Correct. 701 00:33:16,680 --> 00:33:18,280 Speaker 10: Yeah, you know, Rudy t was when he had his 702 00:33:19,040 --> 00:33:21,800 Speaker 10: induction speech, he kind of gave me a shoutout and 703 00:33:21,840 --> 00:33:23,840 Speaker 10: then it kind of rolled from there. So this is 704 00:33:23,880 --> 00:33:27,040 Speaker 10: my second year being nominated. I didn't get in this year, 705 00:33:27,080 --> 00:33:29,560 Speaker 10: but you know, I'm keeping my fingers crossed. It's it's 706 00:33:29,600 --> 00:33:31,600 Speaker 10: disappointing when you don't get in. But on the other 707 00:33:31,640 --> 00:33:33,080 Speaker 10: side of that, there's a lot of guys that don't 708 00:33:33,080 --> 00:33:35,840 Speaker 10: even get you know, I mentioned a sniff of the 709 00:33:35,840 --> 00:33:38,320 Speaker 10: Hall of Fame, So I'm just I'm happy. 710 00:33:38,000 --> 00:33:39,440 Speaker 4: But not content. 711 00:33:39,880 --> 00:33:44,080 Speaker 3: Yeah, seven titles and being a contributor that to me, 712 00:33:45,280 --> 00:33:49,680 Speaker 3: nobody's had more titles and not made the Hall of 713 00:33:49,720 --> 00:33:53,080 Speaker 3: Fame than you. So that's why, like, I don't know, 714 00:33:53,200 --> 00:33:56,160 Speaker 3: it's just statistical anomaly. It feels like that You've been 715 00:33:56,200 --> 00:34:00,080 Speaker 3: part of three different franchises and even part of the 716 00:34:00,080 --> 00:34:02,000 Speaker 3: the Laker team, and I don't know if you felt 717 00:34:02,040 --> 00:34:05,600 Speaker 3: like maybe you were overshadowed by some of these players 718 00:34:05,640 --> 00:34:08,520 Speaker 3: you played with and maybe didn't get that acknowledgment. 719 00:34:09,239 --> 00:34:10,080 Speaker 4: Yeah, I do. 720 00:34:10,239 --> 00:34:13,600 Speaker 10: I do, because sometimes as a player, it's there are 721 00:34:13,600 --> 00:34:16,680 Speaker 10: more players like myself that sacrifice their games for everybody 722 00:34:16,680 --> 00:34:18,600 Speaker 10: else to be better. And I think about when I 723 00:34:18,640 --> 00:34:22,399 Speaker 10: got to Houston. You know, of course Dream, MVP, Shock, MVB, 724 00:34:22,600 --> 00:34:25,000 Speaker 10: Tim Dunn. You kind of take a back seat to 725 00:34:25,040 --> 00:34:27,280 Speaker 10: those guys, and for me, it was all about winning 726 00:34:27,320 --> 00:34:29,359 Speaker 10: and if I did it the right way, you were 727 00:34:29,360 --> 00:34:31,359 Speaker 10: gonna win. I felt like everything else was gonna take 728 00:34:31,360 --> 00:34:33,520 Speaker 10: care of itself. And I think about, you know, my 729 00:34:33,600 --> 00:34:35,680 Speaker 10: first couple of years in the league, where I were 730 00:34:35,360 --> 00:34:38,399 Speaker 10: a hundred guy, hundred steals, hundred blocks and never made 731 00:34:38,400 --> 00:34:40,080 Speaker 10: the All Defensive team. And that was one of the 732 00:34:40,080 --> 00:34:42,719 Speaker 10: things that really made me mad because I'm like how, 733 00:34:43,160 --> 00:34:45,080 Speaker 10: and I'm like, well, I was kind of overshot by 734 00:34:45,120 --> 00:34:46,920 Speaker 10: the guy who was a defensive Player of the Year, 735 00:34:46,920 --> 00:34:49,840 Speaker 10: I meaning Dream blocking shots, but I had almost dismissed 736 00:34:50,200 --> 00:34:53,520 Speaker 10: blocks I just do, you know, and for me it hurts. 737 00:34:53,840 --> 00:34:56,279 Speaker 10: But a lot of those guys in the Hall of 738 00:34:56,280 --> 00:34:58,480 Speaker 10: Fame don't have what I have in that seven championship. 739 00:34:58,520 --> 00:35:00,759 Speaker 3: Okay, I'm gonna give you the first pick. You can 740 00:35:00,840 --> 00:35:04,120 Speaker 3: have a kam Elijah Wan, you can have Tim Duncan, 741 00:35:04,160 --> 00:35:04,840 Speaker 3: you can have Shack. 742 00:35:06,520 --> 00:35:08,960 Speaker 10: If you're giving me the two thousand shack, I'm taking 743 00:35:09,080 --> 00:35:12,359 Speaker 10: Shack if I can pick out which guy I want. 744 00:35:12,400 --> 00:35:14,520 Speaker 4: You know, he was just so dominant the year he 745 00:35:14,560 --> 00:35:15,520 Speaker 4: won MVP Man. 746 00:35:15,560 --> 00:35:19,440 Speaker 10: You think about Abagon almost thirty twenty, and his personality 747 00:35:19,560 --> 00:35:22,719 Speaker 10: was is fantastic. In a dream would be second, and 748 00:35:22,840 --> 00:35:26,160 Speaker 10: Tim would be a close second third. But you can't 749 00:35:26,200 --> 00:35:28,279 Speaker 10: you can't really pick when you have great guys like 750 00:35:28,320 --> 00:35:30,799 Speaker 10: those three guys. You know, I enjoyed playing all three 751 00:35:30,840 --> 00:35:31,160 Speaker 10: of them. 752 00:35:31,360 --> 00:35:34,239 Speaker 3: How would your Rockets have done against Jordan's Bulls. 753 00:35:34,800 --> 00:35:36,279 Speaker 4: We would have beat him. We would beat him. 754 00:35:36,719 --> 00:35:39,480 Speaker 10: You know, it's it's it's everybody wants to and everybody's like, well, 755 00:35:40,160 --> 00:35:45,239 Speaker 10: Jordan is Jordan actually loses sometimes sometimes, you know, if 756 00:35:45,680 --> 00:35:48,200 Speaker 10: we just go about our record against the Bulls when 757 00:35:48,200 --> 00:35:50,120 Speaker 10: we were there, and we were pretty good, I think 758 00:35:50,120 --> 00:35:53,160 Speaker 10: when it comes to matchups and I think Vernon match 759 00:35:53,280 --> 00:35:56,400 Speaker 10: Mgup's MJ was pretty good matchup. Myself against Skyty was 760 00:35:56,440 --> 00:35:59,279 Speaker 10: a good matchup. But so now, who was gonna match 761 00:35:59,360 --> 00:36:02,040 Speaker 10: up with Dream Nobody? So, you know, and playing for 762 00:36:02,120 --> 00:36:04,920 Speaker 10: Field and knowing Field's mentality, I think we would have 763 00:36:04,920 --> 00:36:06,320 Speaker 10: won that serious And I know a lot of people 764 00:36:06,320 --> 00:36:09,319 Speaker 10: were like, man, you're crazy. I'm like, because Jordan Jordan. 765 00:36:09,480 --> 00:36:12,000 Speaker 10: People forget Jordan came back in ninety five. He had 766 00:36:12,000 --> 00:36:14,319 Speaker 10: a double nickel against the Knicks, but he got beat 767 00:36:14,400 --> 00:36:15,480 Speaker 10: by the Orlando Magic. 768 00:36:15,480 --> 00:36:17,120 Speaker 4: Why because his team wasn't good enough. 769 00:36:18,120 --> 00:36:19,960 Speaker 2: You ever discuss this with Jordan. 770 00:36:21,120 --> 00:36:24,279 Speaker 4: I've never had a chance to, and I would love to. 771 00:36:24,520 --> 00:36:26,360 Speaker 10: You know, it'll be a good debate, But I know 772 00:36:26,400 --> 00:36:28,640 Speaker 10: he's out winning NASCAR races, so he doesn't have time 773 00:36:28,680 --> 00:36:29,680 Speaker 10: for basketball anymore. 774 00:36:30,880 --> 00:36:33,040 Speaker 2: Better defender Jordan or Pippen. 775 00:36:33,600 --> 00:36:37,600 Speaker 10: Pipping by far, really by far. And this is the 776 00:36:37,600 --> 00:36:40,240 Speaker 10: one thing people don't understand about Scotty Pippen. Scotty Pippen 777 00:36:40,800 --> 00:36:43,080 Speaker 10: is the ultimate basketball player of me. He's one of 778 00:36:43,080 --> 00:36:45,480 Speaker 10: my top five of all time because when you think 779 00:36:45,480 --> 00:36:48,400 Speaker 10: about a player who can guard every position on the floor, 780 00:36:48,719 --> 00:36:51,040 Speaker 10: that's only like three of those that's ever existed, you know, 781 00:36:51,080 --> 00:36:52,360 Speaker 10: you think, but he can go to point guard, he 782 00:36:52,360 --> 00:36:55,400 Speaker 10: can go to the center, he can score. When Jordan left, 783 00:36:55,719 --> 00:36:57,920 Speaker 10: he took them to the Eastern Conference finals, and he 784 00:36:58,000 --> 00:37:00,399 Speaker 10: gets So that's the one thing about when you play 785 00:37:00,480 --> 00:37:03,880 Speaker 10: with greats, I mean, like supersidic greats like Michael Jordan. 786 00:37:04,440 --> 00:37:06,560 Speaker 10: Everybody else is, Oh, he only won because of George. 787 00:37:06,640 --> 00:37:09,520 Speaker 10: Maybe Jordan only only one because of Pipping. And I 788 00:37:09,560 --> 00:37:14,040 Speaker 10: think Pipping is so underrated and so unappreciated, and I 789 00:37:14,040 --> 00:37:16,920 Speaker 10: think people need to really sip. You take a seatback 790 00:37:17,160 --> 00:37:18,960 Speaker 10: and look at what he did throughout his career and 791 00:37:19,000 --> 00:37:20,680 Speaker 10: really marvel at what he did. 792 00:37:20,719 --> 00:37:22,200 Speaker 4: He was, he was great. 793 00:37:22,920 --> 00:37:25,920 Speaker 2: How often do you do play peacemaker between Kobe and Shack? 794 00:37:27,320 --> 00:37:29,879 Speaker 4: I never had to play peacemaker. It was the weirdest thing, 795 00:37:30,000 --> 00:37:30,200 Speaker 4: you know. 796 00:37:30,239 --> 00:37:33,359 Speaker 10: He was always Kobe was always you know, intense, Shaq 797 00:37:33,520 --> 00:37:36,400 Speaker 10: was always intense, and we always won. I think, you know, 798 00:37:36,480 --> 00:37:40,280 Speaker 10: winning solves all problems. You know, we would, We didn't. 799 00:37:40,560 --> 00:37:41,520 Speaker 10: We didn't lose much. 800 00:37:41,520 --> 00:37:44,279 Speaker 3: When I want to know, Shaq's goofy, and I didn't 801 00:37:44,280 --> 00:37:48,840 Speaker 3: know if that bothered Kobe, who isn't goofy. 802 00:37:47,840 --> 00:37:50,480 Speaker 10: But his thing is, you don't know Kobe, like we 803 00:37:50,560 --> 00:37:52,919 Speaker 10: knew Kobe. You get in practice. Don't get me wrong. 804 00:37:52,960 --> 00:37:55,880 Speaker 10: There are times in practice where everybody's intense, but then 805 00:37:55,920 --> 00:37:57,040 Speaker 10: you have those moments where. 806 00:37:56,880 --> 00:37:59,200 Speaker 4: You're shooting the bull and having fun. 807 00:37:59,560 --> 00:38:02,719 Speaker 10: And if we had film of us in the locker room, 808 00:38:03,040 --> 00:38:06,160 Speaker 10: Kobe b Shaw, Rick Fox and all of us and 809 00:38:06,239 --> 00:38:07,680 Speaker 10: Derrek Fisher, you'll be. 810 00:38:07,640 --> 00:38:09,440 Speaker 4: Like, man, y'all are silly. How do y'all win? 811 00:38:09,560 --> 00:38:11,560 Speaker 10: Because we have We used to have so much fun 812 00:38:11,840 --> 00:38:14,040 Speaker 10: on the planes, in the locker room outside of the camera. 813 00:38:14,080 --> 00:38:16,839 Speaker 10: Because the thing about great teams, when you step on 814 00:38:16,880 --> 00:38:19,759 Speaker 10: that court, you are focused, you getting the job done, 815 00:38:19,880 --> 00:38:21,359 Speaker 10: and that's what we were able to do. We got 816 00:38:21,400 --> 00:38:22,960 Speaker 10: the job done because we had a lot of vets, 817 00:38:23,000 --> 00:38:24,839 Speaker 10: a lot of guys who are hungry for championships. 818 00:38:25,200 --> 00:38:28,560 Speaker 3: Talking to Robert or the Lakers analysts for a Spectrum 819 00:38:28,600 --> 00:38:31,839 Speaker 3: Sports Net, it feels like we keep waiting for a 820 00:38:31,840 --> 00:38:35,880 Speaker 3: different alternative outcome for the Lakers, But it's the same Robert. 821 00:38:36,480 --> 00:38:39,720 Speaker 3: They I mean, they're top heavy with you know, talent, 822 00:38:40,880 --> 00:38:42,520 Speaker 3: and they do not play defense. 823 00:38:42,600 --> 00:38:47,640 Speaker 10: Well yeah, it's but I think when you look at 824 00:38:47,760 --> 00:38:50,040 Speaker 10: the Lakers, they have guys on the team that can 825 00:38:50,080 --> 00:38:53,160 Speaker 10: play defense, but the problem is we're such a three 826 00:38:53,200 --> 00:38:55,560 Speaker 10: ball team that when you put them in the game, 827 00:38:55,600 --> 00:38:57,960 Speaker 10: they're not three balls. You're talking about you know Van 828 00:38:58,080 --> 00:39:00,200 Speaker 10: Do you know Marcus Smartest up and down? 829 00:39:00,320 --> 00:39:01,880 Speaker 4: You have, you know Jackson Hayes. 830 00:39:02,400 --> 00:39:05,200 Speaker 10: Those guys are really good defenders, but you don't want 831 00:39:05,280 --> 00:39:07,600 Speaker 10: them on the court sometimes because you're thinking about threes. 832 00:39:08,080 --> 00:39:10,839 Speaker 10: And I'm all about getting buckets. I tell people all 833 00:39:10,840 --> 00:39:12,680 Speaker 10: the time, the NBA is not about threes. It's about 834 00:39:12,680 --> 00:39:14,520 Speaker 10: getting buckets. Who can get a bucket when they need 835 00:39:14,560 --> 00:39:17,280 Speaker 10: a bucket. And if you look at all the guys 836 00:39:17,280 --> 00:39:21,480 Speaker 10: who won championships, you look at Shake Gilger's MVP last year, 837 00:39:22,200 --> 00:39:25,200 Speaker 10: his game is not predicated on threes. It's predicated getting 838 00:39:25,239 --> 00:39:27,960 Speaker 10: that mid range jumper, getting to the hole, getting in one. 839 00:39:28,480 --> 00:39:32,160 Speaker 10: And then the year before that, it's like, somehow analytics 840 00:39:32,239 --> 00:39:35,440 Speaker 10: got thrown this where three balls win championships. I say, 841 00:39:35,520 --> 00:39:38,520 Speaker 10: but everybody doesn't have what Golden State has. Golden State 842 00:39:38,560 --> 00:39:40,879 Speaker 10: had Ferrari's when they come to shooting threes. Everybody else 843 00:39:40,920 --> 00:39:43,920 Speaker 10: got like maybe you know, Mercedes bands of BMW's And 844 00:39:43,960 --> 00:39:46,240 Speaker 10: so that is the difference that people have to understand. 845 00:39:46,360 --> 00:39:48,799 Speaker 10: Just because it worked for one team, that'sn't gonna mean 846 00:39:48,800 --> 00:39:50,040 Speaker 10: it's gonna work for everybody else. 847 00:39:50,880 --> 00:39:53,279 Speaker 3: Yeah, just trying to figure this out. I mean, can 848 00:39:53,320 --> 00:39:54,880 Speaker 3: you teach Luca to play defense? 849 00:39:56,000 --> 00:39:59,480 Speaker 10: You know, if Luca plays in spurts, and it's so 850 00:39:59,560 --> 00:40:01,280 Speaker 10: weird because sometimes you watched him. 851 00:40:01,160 --> 00:40:03,479 Speaker 4: Like, okay, Luca, you're gonna look to your feet, and. 852 00:40:03,400 --> 00:40:06,480 Speaker 10: Then sometimes he just goes and sits, you know, on 853 00:40:06,520 --> 00:40:09,600 Speaker 10: the block and grabs rebound and pushes it. I think 854 00:40:10,360 --> 00:40:13,960 Speaker 10: if the team as a whole got on each other 855 00:40:14,400 --> 00:40:16,319 Speaker 10: and say we need to play defense. And that's the 856 00:40:16,320 --> 00:40:18,400 Speaker 10: great thing about all the teams I played for. We 857 00:40:18,400 --> 00:40:20,520 Speaker 10: would yell at each other, we will argue with each other, 858 00:40:20,600 --> 00:40:22,120 Speaker 10: but at the end of the day, we know it's 859 00:40:22,120 --> 00:40:24,040 Speaker 10: for the best of the team because if you don't 860 00:40:24,040 --> 00:40:26,680 Speaker 10: play defense, you don't win. I think the Lakers, you know, 861 00:40:26,719 --> 00:40:29,399 Speaker 10: after getting beat by the Phoenix Suns last night without 862 00:40:29,400 --> 00:40:31,960 Speaker 10: their two best players, it's a sign that you've got 863 00:40:32,000 --> 00:40:32,760 Speaker 10: to play defense. 864 00:40:33,120 --> 00:40:35,719 Speaker 3: But in fairness to Luca, he's asked to carry so 865 00:40:35,800 --> 00:40:39,760 Speaker 3: much on the other end, right he's got his energy 866 00:40:39,840 --> 00:40:42,960 Speaker 3: should be directed to the offensive side of the ball. 867 00:40:43,800 --> 00:40:47,320 Speaker 10: So let me ask you this question. Michael Jordan played 868 00:40:47,320 --> 00:40:50,719 Speaker 10: on both ends of the floor. Right, Kobe Bryant played 869 00:40:50,760 --> 00:40:52,880 Speaker 10: on both ends of the floor, right, Elijah want to 870 00:40:52,880 --> 00:40:55,040 Speaker 10: play both ins and the floor, So why can't Luca 871 00:40:55,120 --> 00:40:57,280 Speaker 10: do it too? And that's the thing that's about basketball. 872 00:40:57,520 --> 00:40:59,640 Speaker 10: And the worst term that's ever used in basketball is 873 00:40:59,640 --> 00:41:02,120 Speaker 10: a two way player. That term should be thrown out. 874 00:41:02,239 --> 00:41:04,920 Speaker 10: That's only for football. And because basketball is a sport 875 00:41:04,960 --> 00:41:07,160 Speaker 10: played on both ends of the floor. You're gonna rest 876 00:41:07,200 --> 00:41:08,920 Speaker 10: a moments like a lot of players do. But you 877 00:41:09,000 --> 00:41:10,560 Speaker 10: have to play both ends of the floor. And I 878 00:41:10,560 --> 00:41:12,759 Speaker 10: think when you look at the game of basketball, that's 879 00:41:12,800 --> 00:41:14,720 Speaker 10: how the best players should be judged. 880 00:41:14,920 --> 00:41:16,600 Speaker 4: You know. You look at Kawhi, you know, and. 881 00:41:16,680 --> 00:41:19,839 Speaker 10: Fansis my MVP this year is Jalen Brown slash k 882 00:41:19,920 --> 00:41:21,799 Speaker 10: come Because those guys do it on both ends of 883 00:41:21,800 --> 00:41:23,920 Speaker 10: the floor, you know. And so that's the thing you 884 00:41:23,960 --> 00:41:26,400 Speaker 10: have to look at. Basketball is just not by offense. 885 00:41:26,440 --> 00:41:27,399 Speaker 10: It's about defense too. 886 00:41:27,560 --> 00:41:27,719 Speaker 9: Yeah. 887 00:41:27,760 --> 00:41:30,480 Speaker 3: I just don't think that lucas athletic the way Kobe 888 00:41:30,560 --> 00:41:34,719 Speaker 3: and Mike and a King word, he is athletic. 889 00:41:34,760 --> 00:41:35,719 Speaker 4: He just here's the thing. 890 00:41:35,719 --> 00:41:38,279 Speaker 10: There's a lot of guys that are like Luca, and 891 00:41:38,360 --> 00:41:41,120 Speaker 10: Luca's very very strong. So you have to use that 892 00:41:41,320 --> 00:41:43,839 Speaker 10: to your advantage, because you see sometimes when guys are 893 00:41:43,840 --> 00:41:45,520 Speaker 10: trying to get to the hole on Luca, when he 894 00:41:45,560 --> 00:41:48,240 Speaker 10: does move his feet, they bounce off because he's so solid. 895 00:41:48,520 --> 00:41:49,960 Speaker 4: He's just got to learn how to use that to 896 00:41:50,040 --> 00:41:50,640 Speaker 4: his advantage. 897 00:41:50,680 --> 00:41:53,040 Speaker 10: Every every NBA player adapts to the game, so he 898 00:41:53,080 --> 00:41:54,960 Speaker 10: can adapt defensively where he can learn. 899 00:41:55,040 --> 00:41:57,200 Speaker 4: You know, don't get me wrong, Lucas. 900 00:41:56,920 --> 00:41:59,640 Speaker 10: Is a beast though he can get his But I 901 00:41:59,680 --> 00:42:02,479 Speaker 10: think with a lot of teams now are isolating those 902 00:42:02,520 --> 00:42:03,799 Speaker 10: and doing a lot of one on one to try 903 00:42:03,840 --> 00:42:06,400 Speaker 10: to maliplate the defense to get draws and kicks. But 904 00:42:07,000 --> 00:42:09,680 Speaker 10: sometimes you just got to say, you know what, take 905 00:42:09,719 --> 00:42:10,760 Speaker 10: it on your own and guarded. 906 00:42:11,440 --> 00:42:14,880 Speaker 2: He does complain a lot, Robert, Hey. 907 00:42:14,719 --> 00:42:15,840 Speaker 4: What player in the NBA? 908 00:42:15,880 --> 00:42:20,959 Speaker 2: Okay, okay, Mike. Did Mike complain a lot? Did Jordan 909 00:42:21,040 --> 00:42:21,680 Speaker 2: complain a lot? 910 00:42:22,360 --> 00:42:26,640 Speaker 4: Uh? You know what, I can't really say because I 911 00:42:26,640 --> 00:42:27,640 Speaker 4: didn't play with him. 912 00:42:27,840 --> 00:42:30,239 Speaker 10: So when you play with someone, you watch someone eighty 913 00:42:30,239 --> 00:42:32,440 Speaker 10: two games, you can tell to complain a lot. And 914 00:42:32,480 --> 00:42:34,320 Speaker 10: I think you know, the only guy that complains a 915 00:42:34,400 --> 00:42:37,759 Speaker 10: lot and is justly so is Lebron James because he 916 00:42:37,800 --> 00:42:40,719 Speaker 10: gets beat up going to the hole sometimes and he 917 00:42:40,760 --> 00:42:43,240 Speaker 10: doesn't get the calls like a Shade does, like a Luca, 918 00:42:43,400 --> 00:42:45,920 Speaker 10: like an ar And so I think he's the only 919 00:42:46,000 --> 00:42:48,399 Speaker 10: ones to be should be allowed to complain in the league. 920 00:42:48,600 --> 00:42:51,680 Speaker 3: So you think it's legitimate that well, just like Shaq, 921 00:42:52,160 --> 00:42:55,080 Speaker 3: I mean, yeah, Shack got beat up every single time. 922 00:42:55,120 --> 00:42:57,120 Speaker 2: It felt like down the floor. Yeah. 923 00:42:57,160 --> 00:42:59,319 Speaker 10: I remember playing next to Shack and all you hear 924 00:42:59,400 --> 00:43:03,799 Speaker 10: is yeah, And the refs like, oh, he's strong enough 925 00:43:03,800 --> 00:43:05,600 Speaker 10: to handle that. He should it shouldn't bother him and that, 926 00:43:05,719 --> 00:43:09,040 Speaker 10: And that's not fair because Shay is strong enough, Lucas 927 00:43:09,080 --> 00:43:12,400 Speaker 10: strong enough. You know, Steph is strong enough. Because this 928 00:43:12,480 --> 00:43:13,920 Speaker 10: is what this is a man's league. It is not 929 00:43:13,960 --> 00:43:16,200 Speaker 10: a kid's league. Is a man league. So everybody should 930 00:43:16,200 --> 00:43:17,799 Speaker 10: be strong enough to with stand those hit but they 931 00:43:17,840 --> 00:43:19,440 Speaker 10: give them to certain players and they don't give it 932 00:43:19,480 --> 00:43:20,239 Speaker 10: to other players. 933 00:43:20,600 --> 00:43:22,640 Speaker 2: You grew up in Alabama, was there pressure for you 934 00:43:22,719 --> 00:43:23,400 Speaker 2: to play football? 935 00:43:24,520 --> 00:43:25,799 Speaker 4: My mother said no. 936 00:43:25,920 --> 00:43:29,719 Speaker 10: From Jump Street, she said, she said, you're allowed to 937 00:43:29,719 --> 00:43:31,799 Speaker 10: play two sports, and football is not enough. 938 00:43:32,000 --> 00:43:32,440 Speaker 9: I played. 939 00:43:32,800 --> 00:43:36,279 Speaker 10: I played baseball and basketball, and you know, and don't 940 00:43:36,320 --> 00:43:39,000 Speaker 10: get me wrong, I love love football. I wish I 941 00:43:39,000 --> 00:43:41,279 Speaker 10: could have played, you know, but it's one of those 942 00:43:41,280 --> 00:43:43,319 Speaker 10: things that you kind of mama knows best. 943 00:43:44,200 --> 00:43:46,480 Speaker 2: Are you an Alabama Crimson Tide fan? 944 00:43:47,120 --> 00:43:49,160 Speaker 4: Yes? I am. Oh. 945 00:43:49,320 --> 00:43:52,279 Speaker 10: You know Alabama went to Alabama from eighty eight to 946 00:43:52,360 --> 00:43:55,000 Speaker 10: ninety two, had four great years on the whim. Sanderson 947 00:43:55,080 --> 00:43:58,480 Speaker 10: won three SEC championships. Alabama's in my blood. My wife 948 00:43:58,520 --> 00:44:01,160 Speaker 10: always talks about why you always like Alabama that because 949 00:44:01,160 --> 00:44:01,800 Speaker 10: it's in my blood. 950 00:44:01,840 --> 00:44:03,120 Speaker 4: It's the same way you like USC. 951 00:44:03,760 --> 00:44:04,080 Speaker 1: Oh. 952 00:44:04,400 --> 00:44:09,440 Speaker 3: Okay, that had to be interesting conversations.
