1
00:00:00,120 --> 00:00:09,760
Speaker 1: Yeah, all right, you guys go ahead.

2
00:00:11,600 --> 00:00:15,200
Speaker 2: We're just on a Pumpins call with Dominic and and

3
00:00:15,280 --> 00:00:17,160
Speaker 2: he suggested that probably you guys.

4
00:00:17,000 --> 00:00:20,120
Speaker 3: Are looking at it as a guard. Obviously played tackle

5
00:00:20,160 --> 00:00:24,000
Speaker 3: as well. What's the what's the plan for him?

6
00:00:24,360 --> 00:00:26,280
Speaker 1: Yeah, I you know, our belief is that we're going

7
00:00:26,320 --> 00:00:28,560
Speaker 1: to start him on the inside as a as a guard.

8
00:00:28,600 --> 00:00:31,320
Speaker 1: But the cool thing about Dominic is he's a It's

9
00:00:31,360 --> 00:00:33,520
Speaker 1: not often you can set you you can say about

10
00:00:33,560 --> 00:00:35,400
Speaker 1: a player that he can't play all five, and we

11
00:00:35,479 --> 00:00:39,199
Speaker 1: believe that's the case with him. He snapped in in practice,

12
00:00:39,240 --> 00:00:41,800
Speaker 1: he snapped in the Senior Bowl down in Mobile. Uh

13
00:00:41,880 --> 00:00:45,320
Speaker 1: played some center in the game. Uh played left tackle

14
00:00:45,360 --> 00:00:48,400
Speaker 1: in twenty three guard uh in.

15
00:00:48,120 --> 00:00:49,120
Speaker 4: In the previous year.

16
00:00:49,400 --> 00:00:51,680
Speaker 1: And uh So we believe he has it in him

17
00:00:51,720 --> 00:00:54,360
Speaker 1: and that's that's really a cool thing to have in

18
00:00:54,440 --> 00:00:56,040
Speaker 1: a player, and he and he can do it at

19
00:00:56,040 --> 00:00:59,040
Speaker 1: a high level. So you know, it's it's part of

20
00:00:59,080 --> 00:01:01,360
Speaker 1: the reason we we moved up to take him there.

21
00:01:02,040 --> 00:01:05,080
Speaker 1: And you know, really fired up about him.

22
00:01:05,760 --> 00:01:07,720
Speaker 3: I caught that he didn't give up a single sack

23
00:01:07,760 --> 00:01:11,120
Speaker 3: after he transferred to Kansas as his past protection, something

24
00:01:11,120 --> 00:01:12,280
Speaker 3: that that really stood out to you.

25
00:01:12,600 --> 00:01:15,880
Speaker 1: Yeah, he's a solid football player. He is and and

26
00:01:16,319 --> 00:01:17,959
Speaker 1: you know, he's a guy. We got out here on

27
00:01:18,000 --> 00:01:20,920
Speaker 1: a thirty and I think got comfortable with the person

28
00:01:21,120 --> 00:01:25,080
Speaker 1: and just got to you know, it's just it's always

29
00:01:25,160 --> 00:01:27,080
Speaker 1: nice to It's not essential, but it's nice to be

30
00:01:27,200 --> 00:01:29,040
Speaker 1: around them a little bit more and see them in

31
00:01:29,080 --> 00:01:32,080
Speaker 1: an environment with their peers and how they interact and

32
00:01:32,080 --> 00:01:34,560
Speaker 1: how they interact with our coaches, and there was there

33
00:01:34,600 --> 00:01:37,000
Speaker 1: was a good feel there. We liked the tape, like

34
00:01:37,080 --> 00:01:39,959
Speaker 1: the versatility and wanted to make him a Niner.

35
00:01:40,280 --> 00:01:43,560
Speaker 2: Really indicated that he has the ability to play outside,

36
00:01:43,560 --> 00:01:46,400
Speaker 2: corner and nicole and safety was his versatility one of

37
00:01:46,440 --> 00:01:47,480
Speaker 2: the things that treated him.

38
00:01:47,960 --> 00:01:49,920
Speaker 5: Yeah, we like that a lot. I mean, we've seen

39
00:01:49,960 --> 00:01:52,120
Speaker 5: him play outside, but we believe he's and we know

40
00:01:52,200 --> 00:01:54,640
Speaker 5: we can play outside, but he's also wired the right

41
00:01:54,680 --> 00:01:56,240
Speaker 5: way to play inside. This doesn't have a lot of

42
00:01:56,280 --> 00:01:58,400
Speaker 5: tape of it, but that's something we believe he can

43
00:01:58,440 --> 00:02:00,640
Speaker 5: do both. I'm glad he feels the same. We'll give

44
00:02:00,680 --> 00:02:01,600
Speaker 5: him an op to do both.

45
00:02:01,720 --> 00:02:03,800
Speaker 1: We've got a heck of a mentality Ronardo. I mean,

46
00:02:03,840 --> 00:02:08,520
Speaker 1: that's that's the thing we we we really loved about him.

47
00:02:08,840 --> 00:02:10,880
Speaker 1: One hundred and eighty six pounds, but he wants to

48
00:02:10,960 --> 00:02:15,560
Speaker 1: hit you. And you know everyone correlates I think interceptions

49
00:02:15,560 --> 00:02:18,919
Speaker 1: to ball production. We look at it, you know, PBUs

50
00:02:18,960 --> 00:02:21,960
Speaker 1: and he had thirteen PBUs. You know, one of the

51
00:02:21,960 --> 00:02:25,360
Speaker 1: tops in the nation last year had one interception one force.

52
00:02:25,440 --> 00:02:28,119
Speaker 4: F Well, really good tackler, plays.

53
00:02:27,800 --> 00:02:30,560
Speaker 1: A tough physical He told us fifteen times when we

54
00:02:30,639 --> 00:02:32,680
Speaker 1: called him, he got a dog. You got a dog,

55
00:02:32,760 --> 00:02:37,000
Speaker 1: And that's exactly what we thought when we draft him.

56
00:02:37,160 --> 00:02:40,280
Speaker 1: He can play Manda man who get up challenge receivers,

57
00:02:40,720 --> 00:02:44,079
Speaker 1: has done it against some really top level players and

58
00:02:45,400 --> 00:02:47,000
Speaker 1: fired up to have him as well.

59
00:02:47,880 --> 00:02:50,160
Speaker 2: Daniel Bullock said that he wouldn't want to fight him

60
00:02:50,200 --> 00:02:52,280
Speaker 2: because he would fight like a dog and fight till

61
00:02:52,320 --> 00:02:52,639
Speaker 2: the death.

62
00:02:56,120 --> 00:02:57,320
Speaker 4: Who would Daniel or him?

63
00:02:57,360 --> 00:02:59,640
Speaker 2: You didn't want to fight Ronardo as he felt he would.

64
00:02:59,440 --> 00:03:00,000
Speaker 3: Fight to the death.

65
00:03:00,160 --> 00:03:03,160
Speaker 4: Yeah, that's that's what the film looks like. And we

66
00:03:03,320 --> 00:03:07,640
Speaker 4: like that when you looked at him.

67
00:03:07,880 --> 00:03:10,800
Speaker 1: Yeah, you know, we saw two of those players at

68
00:03:10,919 --> 00:03:13,720
Speaker 1: LSU Neighbors and Brian Thomas go in the first round.

69
00:03:14,000 --> 00:03:16,680
Speaker 1: And it's really awesome when you get a chance to

70
00:03:16,720 --> 00:03:19,799
Speaker 1: see guys go up against the best college football has

71
00:03:19,840 --> 00:03:22,280
Speaker 1: to offer, and and Uh, you can tell he's a

72
00:03:22,320 --> 00:03:25,880
Speaker 1: guy that welcomes, welcomes that that type of challenge, and

73
00:03:25,919 --> 00:03:28,480
Speaker 1: he certainly did on that day held his own and

74
00:03:28,639 --> 00:03:29,720
Speaker 1: he held his own. H.

75
00:03:30,080 --> 00:03:32,520
Speaker 4: You know all year when you traded down, did you

76
00:03:32,560 --> 00:03:37,080
Speaker 4: know who the Chiefs were taken? No?

77
00:03:37,400 --> 00:03:40,080
Speaker 1: No, we had a couple of people we liked and uh,

78
00:03:40,120 --> 00:03:42,320
Speaker 1: but we were hoping Ronardo, we had a good idea.

79
00:03:42,440 --> 00:03:44,880
Speaker 1: Yet you always have hunches, but you don't know. We

80
00:03:44,960 --> 00:03:49,360
Speaker 1: did not ask them and and you know, worked.

81
00:03:49,080 --> 00:03:52,080
Speaker 6: Out of strange to swing deals with the Chiefs and

82
00:03:52,120 --> 00:03:53,680
Speaker 6: the Eagles, considering.

83
00:03:54,480 --> 00:04:00,240
Speaker 1: Seasons that that didn't just dawn on me walking down here.

84
00:04:00,720 --> 00:04:03,520
Speaker 4: Trade talks that people come looking hard at deepo or.

85
00:04:05,120 --> 00:04:07,560
Speaker 1: Uh, we didn't entertain any of that today. You know

86
00:04:07,720 --> 00:04:11,640
Speaker 1: we uh, we're we're happy with our wide receiver group.

87
00:04:12,160 --> 00:04:14,960
Speaker 1: Actually more than happy, We're we're really thrilled with it

88
00:04:15,080 --> 00:04:18,680
Speaker 1: and uh thrilled to added Ricky to that group and

89
00:04:18,720 --> 00:04:19,719
Speaker 1: even make it stronger.

90
00:04:21,080 --> 00:04:24,240
Speaker 3: Watch film between Ricky and Green when they played each.

91
00:04:24,160 --> 00:04:27,680
Speaker 4: Other, actually actually had it on.

92
00:04:27,760 --> 00:04:31,400
Speaker 5: When Ricky came in and I met him in school,

93
00:04:31,640 --> 00:04:33,600
Speaker 5: I was watching Florida State Florida, and I didn't want

94
00:04:33,640 --> 00:04:36,919
Speaker 5: him to think I was still judging him, so I

95
00:04:36,960 --> 00:04:38,719
Speaker 5: turned the Florida off. But it was it was Florida

96
00:04:38,760 --> 00:04:41,160
Speaker 5: State I was watching, and they didn't match up a lot,

97
00:04:41,839 --> 00:04:46,920
Speaker 5: but it was there some cool clips in that game. Yeah,

98
00:04:47,200 --> 00:04:49,000
Speaker 5: they didn't match up very much. It was more he

99
00:04:49,040 --> 00:04:51,160
Speaker 5: was on the outside that had Ricky inside. But I

100
00:04:51,160 --> 00:04:52,600
Speaker 5: think Florida State was undefeated.

101
00:04:52,640 --> 00:04:55,000
Speaker 1: So it's fun to be around Ricky and his family today.

102
00:04:55,080 --> 00:04:57,560
Speaker 1: That was that was really cool. He's uh, he's a

103
00:04:57,600 --> 00:04:58,039
Speaker 1: neat kid.

104
00:04:58,160 --> 00:04:58,320
Speaker 4: You know.

105
00:04:58,360 --> 00:05:00,560
Speaker 1: We we didn't do much in the It works like

106
00:05:00,600 --> 00:05:03,919
Speaker 1: that sometimes sometimes you you have questions. Sometimes you just

107
00:05:03,960 --> 00:05:05,760
Speaker 1: want to feel somebody a little more. You bring them

108
00:05:05,760 --> 00:05:07,680
Speaker 1: in for the thirty visits. Other times you just want

109
00:05:07,680 --> 00:05:11,560
Speaker 1: to not let it be known that that that there's

110
00:05:11,600 --> 00:05:15,040
Speaker 1: an interest and Ricky, we were pretty certain. We liked

111
00:05:15,080 --> 00:05:17,000
Speaker 1: the film. We knew a lot of people that knew

112
00:05:17,040 --> 00:05:19,680
Speaker 1: him and but but it was fun to meet his

113
00:05:19,800 --> 00:05:23,400
Speaker 1: Dad's dad's a firefighter and cool guy. I guess was

114
00:05:23,440 --> 00:05:26,080
Speaker 1: quite a football player at Northern Arizona himself, and it

115
00:05:26,120 --> 00:05:27,440
Speaker 1: was it was fun to meet his family.

116
00:05:28,520 --> 00:05:30,479
Speaker 3: Dominic Poney, what do you see from his run block?

117
00:05:30,480 --> 00:05:31,720
Speaker 6: In particular, what do you like about the way you

118
00:05:31,760 --> 00:05:32,560
Speaker 6: fits your scheme that way.

119
00:05:32,680 --> 00:05:34,440
Speaker 5: I like the quickness he has. I mean, I think

120
00:05:34,560 --> 00:05:36,320
Speaker 5: you know one of the top twenty shuttles at Indy

121
00:05:36,440 --> 00:05:39,159
Speaker 5: which shows it. You know, there's always different styles of

122
00:05:39,200 --> 00:05:40,760
Speaker 5: how you can run block when they ask of you,

123
00:05:40,800 --> 00:05:42,880
Speaker 5: but you can see it on tape and you know

124
00:05:42,920 --> 00:05:44,880
Speaker 5: there's more in there with how you even tested out

125
00:05:44,880 --> 00:05:47,719
Speaker 5: the combine and that's the thing that you like the most.

126
00:05:47,760 --> 00:05:50,159
Speaker 5: Most of his clips are at tackle. When you picture

127
00:05:50,160 --> 00:05:52,080
Speaker 5: his length and his quickness, we think we're going to

128
00:05:52,120 --> 00:05:56,000
Speaker 5: start him inside that guard did sor did center at

129
00:05:56,000 --> 00:05:58,280
Speaker 5: the Senior Bowl. His coaches rave about how he knows

130
00:05:58,320 --> 00:06:01,400
Speaker 5: all five positions and but we think it's got our

131
00:06:01,400 --> 00:06:02,360
Speaker 5: best chance inside.

132
00:06:03,200 --> 00:06:05,080
Speaker 1: At sixty three, I think a lot of people were

133
00:06:05,360 --> 00:06:07,040
Speaker 1: looking tackles, especially with Roger.

134
00:06:07,080 --> 00:06:08,920
Speaker 3: Rouse and Garden went right before and then you guys

135
00:06:09,000 --> 00:06:10,200
Speaker 3: traded down and Kingsley went.

136
00:06:10,520 --> 00:06:13,680
Speaker 1: What was your view of that situation where you disappointed

137
00:06:13,680 --> 00:06:14,920
Speaker 1: that Roger went off the board there?

138
00:06:14,920 --> 00:06:16,359
Speaker 4: What was what was your view? And we had we

139
00:06:16,400 --> 00:06:18,240
Speaker 4: had a group of players we liked.

140
00:06:18,320 --> 00:06:20,920
Speaker 1: Roger was one of them, but we knew we were

141
00:06:21,000 --> 00:06:24,280
Speaker 1: very comfortable with Ronaldo as well, and UH had a

142
00:06:24,360 --> 00:06:26,520
Speaker 1: couple more players, so we thought going back one. We

143
00:06:26,600 --> 00:06:28,839
Speaker 1: had the freedom to do that and still end up

144
00:06:28,839 --> 00:06:30,760
Speaker 1: with the guy we liked, and we were able to

145
00:06:30,760 --> 00:06:32,120
Speaker 1: get the guy we really liked.

146
00:06:31,960 --> 00:06:34,240
Speaker 4: And so that was that was That was cool for us.

147
00:06:35,720 --> 00:06:40,680
Speaker 3: He is now obvious but interesting to have. Are you

148
00:06:41,000 --> 00:06:44,520
Speaker 3: and Samuel this season the.

149
00:06:44,600 --> 00:06:46,200
Speaker 5: Same intentions as the way yesterday was?

150
00:06:48,240 --> 00:06:50,000
Speaker 3: I don't know, okay exactly.

151
00:06:54,480 --> 00:06:56,479
Speaker 5: We love those guys we think they thought they would

152
00:06:56,480 --> 00:06:58,880
Speaker 5: be on our team yesterday, still do and we still

153
00:06:58,920 --> 00:07:02,880
Speaker 5: always listen to everybody till till the end of well,

154
00:07:02,880 --> 00:07:06,320
Speaker 5: I don't give a bad quote. Almost did it again,

155
00:07:06,400 --> 00:07:10,640
Speaker 5: but yeah, that doesn't change yesterday, today, tomorrow.

156
00:07:10,360 --> 00:07:12,880
Speaker 3: Ever, Dominic who any what he did at the Senior

157
00:07:12,960 --> 00:07:14,280
Speaker 3: Bowl and raise his stock.

158
00:07:14,920 --> 00:07:17,480
Speaker 5: It's always cool to see him go against the more

159
00:07:17,480 --> 00:07:19,760
Speaker 5: of the best competition. It's cool to see him try

160
00:07:19,800 --> 00:07:21,640
Speaker 5: center there and see you hear all the other stuff

161
00:07:21,640 --> 00:07:22,880
Speaker 5: you can do and to be able to see it,

162
00:07:23,160 --> 00:07:24,720
Speaker 5: have some of our guys there where they can watch it,

163
00:07:24,720 --> 00:07:26,040
Speaker 5: live their practices and stuff.

164
00:07:26,840 --> 00:07:28,560
Speaker 4: He definitely helped himself, don hurt himself.

165
00:07:28,600 --> 00:07:30,240
Speaker 1: Yeah, I want to give a nod to those guys,

166
00:07:30,360 --> 00:07:33,000
Speaker 1: you know, Naggy Jim Naggy down at the Senior Bowl,

167
00:07:33,040 --> 00:07:35,680
Speaker 1: They really do a fantastic job, these all these all

168
00:07:35,680 --> 00:07:38,960
Speaker 1: star games do and it's really important, you uh, for

169
00:07:38,960 --> 00:07:42,120
Speaker 1: for smaller school kids to be able to show against

170
00:07:42,120 --> 00:07:45,680
Speaker 1: elite competition. But it's really just good one on one competition.

171
00:07:45,880 --> 00:07:48,160
Speaker 1: And some of the things you love watching, I mean,

172
00:07:48,240 --> 00:07:50,840
Speaker 1: coaches pool guys out and you know there's a line,

173
00:07:50,880 --> 00:07:53,080
Speaker 1: but really you can kind of control how many reps

174
00:07:53,080 --> 00:07:55,040
Speaker 1: you take, and you know, we kind of love the

175
00:07:55,040 --> 00:07:57,559
Speaker 1: guys that keep standing up there even if they take else.

176
00:07:57,840 --> 00:07:59,360
Speaker 1: You know, you want to see the guy who wants

177
00:07:59,400 --> 00:08:02,080
Speaker 1: to keep going back and Pooni was one of those

178
00:08:02,080 --> 00:08:05,200
Speaker 1: guys and he kept going and.

179
00:08:05,320 --> 00:08:06,880
Speaker 4: They do have some control over that.

180
00:08:07,000 --> 00:08:09,360
Speaker 1: And Senior Bowl is really a great view in Jim

181
00:08:09,440 --> 00:08:11,280
Speaker 1: Naggi and that group does a tremendous job.

182
00:08:11,320 --> 00:08:14,760
Speaker 4: And we enjoyed that you.

183
00:08:14,840 --> 00:08:18,640
Speaker 3: Mentioned his shuttle. Is that something that you look at

184
00:08:18,680 --> 00:08:22,400
Speaker 3: with with guards and is that something that that stood

185
00:08:22,400 --> 00:08:25,280
Speaker 3: out with Banks a few years ago? His quickness?

186
00:08:25,480 --> 00:08:29,240
Speaker 5: I can't I can't exactly remember a shuttle, but I

187
00:08:29,240 --> 00:08:32,120
Speaker 5: hope it was good. But we want to know how

188
00:08:32,240 --> 00:08:34,200
Speaker 5: quick they are, and that's one of the measures to it.

189
00:08:34,240 --> 00:08:36,160
Speaker 5: But there's sometimes you've seen guys with good shuttles and

190
00:08:36,200 --> 00:08:39,320
Speaker 5: for some reason it doesn't equate to the game, and

191
00:08:39,360 --> 00:08:41,360
Speaker 5: I've seen it the opposite way. So you do it

192
00:08:41,360 --> 00:08:45,120
Speaker 5: long enough, and whatever you look into can contradict itself.

193
00:08:45,160 --> 00:08:48,720
Speaker 5: But that is one of the main things, starting when

194
00:08:48,880 --> 00:08:50,960
Speaker 5: when it first got into football, and I thought that

195
00:08:51,000 --> 00:08:52,680
Speaker 5: was one of the most important things, in quickness for

196
00:08:52,800 --> 00:08:54,880
Speaker 5: slot receiver and things like that, and then you start

197
00:08:55,160 --> 00:08:57,719
Speaker 5: to watch it with kind of everybody, and I think

198
00:08:57,760 --> 00:09:00,040
Speaker 5: when you talk to guards and running the ball and

199
00:09:00,120 --> 00:09:01,920
Speaker 5: coming off the ball fast like we ask them to

200
00:09:01,960 --> 00:09:05,079
Speaker 5: do and reach three techniques and things like that, quickness

201
00:09:05,120 --> 00:09:08,439
Speaker 5: is probably the most important thing. The ten, which is

202
00:09:08,520 --> 00:09:11,480
Speaker 5: a quick first step and rarely gets to the forty,

203
00:09:11,520 --> 00:09:12,760
Speaker 5: but all those shorter stuff.

204
00:09:13,440 --> 00:09:15,240
Speaker 6: Even said last night, kind of trying to find that

205
00:09:15,280 --> 00:09:17,720
Speaker 6: way to thread the needle between making sure the twenty

206
00:09:17,720 --> 00:09:20,079
Speaker 6: twenty four is the best team possible and still kind

207
00:09:20,080 --> 00:09:22,680
Speaker 6: of looking at into the future. How much more difficult

208
00:09:22,760 --> 00:09:24,840
Speaker 6: has that gotten as the years have gone on. In

209
00:09:24,840 --> 00:09:26,640
Speaker 6: this nucleus you've kind of been with for.

210
00:09:26,679 --> 00:09:30,160
Speaker 5: Solo, it gets harder each year because you know, because

211
00:09:30,400 --> 00:09:35,080
Speaker 5: one it's when you keep your nucleus together, there's not

212
00:09:35,160 --> 00:09:37,440
Speaker 5: as many holes for just people to come in and

213
00:09:37,480 --> 00:09:40,199
Speaker 5: take and so you you know, especially later in the draft,

214
00:09:40,200 --> 00:09:42,079
Speaker 5: it can get harder in spots and things like that.

215
00:09:42,160 --> 00:09:46,040
Speaker 5: And obviously from what everyone knows, the more the better

216
00:09:46,040 --> 00:09:48,280
Speaker 5: guys play and you resign your own guys, it's become

217
00:09:48,720 --> 00:09:51,480
Speaker 5: very tough to keep a nucleus together. So each time,

218
00:09:51,840 --> 00:09:54,319
Speaker 5: you know, free agency is harder in that way, the

219
00:09:54,400 --> 00:09:56,760
Speaker 5: drafts harder in that way, and we always try to

220
00:09:56,760 --> 00:09:59,839
Speaker 5: make decisions, always about what's best for now, with the

221
00:10:00,040 --> 00:10:03,679
Speaker 5: always going into the future, and as that the money

222
00:10:03,679 --> 00:10:06,920
Speaker 5: gets higher and our situation gets like this, it definitely

223
00:10:06,960 --> 00:10:07,480
Speaker 5: gets harder.

224
00:10:09,559 --> 00:10:12,680
Speaker 3: You mentioned the day that the with the eighty three

225
00:10:12,720 --> 00:10:15,360
Speaker 3: players that didn't come out because of the options the

226
00:10:15,400 --> 00:10:19,080
Speaker 3: players have with either nil or transfer or will make

227
00:10:19,480 --> 00:10:21,800
Speaker 3: the end of the draft possibly a little weaker. What

228
00:10:21,920 --> 00:10:24,040
Speaker 3: kind of challenge do you face for Day.

229
00:10:23,880 --> 00:10:26,839
Speaker 1: Three regards there's still good players out there, that's our

230
00:10:26,920 --> 00:10:30,400
Speaker 1: job to go find them. I do think there's probably

231
00:10:30,400 --> 00:10:32,840
Speaker 1: not the quantity that there typically isn't a draft. It

232
00:10:32,880 --> 00:10:36,280
Speaker 1: probably runs out of some gas. But our challenge is

233
00:10:36,320 --> 00:10:38,520
Speaker 1: to find who those guys are and find the guys

234
00:10:38,520 --> 00:10:40,880
Speaker 1: who have an opportunity to help make our team better.

235
00:10:41,600 --> 00:10:44,520
Speaker 1: And you know, there's some element to just throwing more

236
00:10:44,600 --> 00:10:48,160
Speaker 1: darts and seeing new sticks, so a little combo of those.

237
00:10:48,360 --> 00:10:51,160
Speaker 1: We did think of just getting all over with trading

238
00:10:51,200 --> 00:10:56,679
Speaker 1: our draft and no, I'm just joking, but well we'll

239
00:10:56,760 --> 00:10:59,640
Speaker 1: we'll always work till the end, and then free agencies always,

240
00:11:00,480 --> 00:11:01,440
Speaker 1: you know, it's fun.

241
00:11:02,600 --> 00:11:04,160
Speaker 4: Kyle and I were down there today, but the.

242
00:11:04,200 --> 00:11:07,439
Speaker 1: Whole group, the coaches, the scouts all go in and

243
00:11:07,480 --> 00:11:10,280
Speaker 1: they're having the free agent meeting already trying to anticipate

244
00:11:11,440 --> 00:11:13,559
Speaker 1: you know who. And that's always a delicate thing to

245
00:11:13,640 --> 00:11:17,920
Speaker 1: call these kids who really are confident that they're getting drafted,

246
00:11:18,000 --> 00:11:21,720
Speaker 1: but just kind of starting putting the bug in their

247
00:11:21,760 --> 00:11:23,400
Speaker 1: ear that hey, if you're still there, we'd love to

248
00:11:23,440 --> 00:11:24,959
Speaker 1: have you come join us. And our guys do a

249
00:11:25,040 --> 00:11:28,360
Speaker 1: really good job of that, and you know, we look

250
00:11:28,440 --> 00:11:32,040
Speaker 1: forward to having a really productive day tomorrow. And that

251
00:11:32,480 --> 00:11:36,240
Speaker 1: means all the way you know, into free agency, all

252
00:11:36,280 --> 00:11:38,280
Speaker 1: the way through our post draft party.

253
00:11:38,679 --> 00:11:39,400
Speaker 4: We're gonna have fun.

254
00:11:40,080 --> 00:11:43,319
Speaker 2: Brave guys today spoke about their football intelligence, not that

255
00:11:43,400 --> 00:11:45,199
Speaker 2: you ever go after guys that don't have that, but

256
00:11:45,280 --> 00:11:47,440
Speaker 2: it seemed like that was an emphasis of your selection

257
00:11:47,640 --> 00:11:47,959
Speaker 2: so far.

258
00:11:48,720 --> 00:11:50,599
Speaker 4: Yeah, I think we always focus on that.

259
00:11:50,880 --> 00:11:53,520
Speaker 1: You know, one thing Kyle and I tried to do

260
00:11:53,600 --> 00:11:55,880
Speaker 1: when we got here is, you know, we felt like

261
00:11:56,000 --> 00:11:59,719
Speaker 1: everybody should have a clear understanding of exactly what we

262
00:11:59,800 --> 00:12:02,720
Speaker 1: want in a player. And that's not only on the field,

263
00:12:02,760 --> 00:12:05,000
Speaker 1: but it's the qualities we want them to embody. We

264
00:12:05,080 --> 00:12:09,720
Speaker 1: want forty nine ers to embody. You know, we don't

265
00:12:09,760 --> 00:12:14,640
Speaker 1: need you know, uh five five beta kappas, but we

266
00:12:14,720 --> 00:12:17,800
Speaker 1: need people who understand football and can process quickly and

267
00:12:18,360 --> 00:12:20,800
Speaker 1: and all that, and who love football more than anything.

268
00:12:20,880 --> 00:12:22,959
Speaker 1: I think that's the biggest thing. It's a hard sport

269
00:12:23,200 --> 00:12:26,880
Speaker 1: and so uh, seasons are long, seasons are tough, the

270
00:12:27,000 --> 00:12:29,599
Speaker 1: game hurts, so you need people who love it. And

271
00:12:30,840 --> 00:12:33,719
Speaker 1: and you know, we've got Fred Warner. What he does

272
00:12:33,800 --> 00:12:36,079
Speaker 1: out there is contagious to everyone on his team. And

273
00:12:36,160 --> 00:12:38,360
Speaker 1: we want to continue to bring people and when I

274
00:12:38,440 --> 00:12:40,800
Speaker 1: think of these guys, these these guys fit that Bill.

275
00:12:40,920 --> 00:12:42,920
Speaker 1: Ricky fits that Bill. So we want to continue to

276
00:12:42,960 --> 00:12:47,480
Speaker 1: bring guys in like that. And the more like minded

277
00:12:47,520 --> 00:12:49,640
Speaker 1: people you do, you've got an opportunity to do something

278
00:12:49,720 --> 00:12:51,400
Speaker 1: special and I think that's what we have.

279
00:12:52,960 --> 00:12:54,400
Speaker 4: All right, Thank you, Thanks
