00:00:04,428 --> 00:00:06,668
Speaker 1: Good Morning Football is the production of the NFL in

2
00:00:06,748 --> 00:00:19,748
Speaker 1: partnership with iHeartRadio.

3
00:00:22,388 --> 00:00:24,068
Speaker 2: Good Morning Football.

4
00:00:24,268 --> 00:00:27,668
Speaker 3: That's right, it's GMFB, everybody, and it is known. We're

5
00:00:27,708 --> 00:00:30,628
Speaker 3: six days away from the twenty twenty five NFL Draft

6
00:00:30,628 --> 00:00:33,748
Speaker 3: in Green Bay. Now specifically impressible black Men today to

7
00:00:33,828 --> 00:00:36,628
Speaker 3: go to a wedding last night and wearing the same

8
00:00:36,908 --> 00:00:38,308
Speaker 3: clothes today.

9
00:00:38,428 --> 00:00:39,628
Speaker 2: For the show will you?

10
00:00:39,788 --> 00:00:49,268
Speaker 3: I mean, what an impressive social calendar you have. I

11
00:00:49,388 --> 00:00:51,868
Speaker 3: thought about saying that in the first little thirty seconds

12
00:00:51,868 --> 00:00:53,668
Speaker 3: of the show, but I didn't. There wasn't enough wiggle

13
00:00:53,708 --> 00:00:55,748
Speaker 3: room to get the laugh and the response that I wanted,

14
00:00:55,748 --> 00:00:56,548
Speaker 3: so I saved it for us.

15
00:00:56,988 --> 00:00:59,068
Speaker 4: Look, it's a safe place at a safe place here

16
00:00:59,188 --> 00:00:59,868
Speaker 4: at GMFB.

17
00:01:00,068 --> 00:01:01,228
Speaker 5: All good like a.

18
00:01:01,308 --> 00:01:02,668
Speaker 2: Pin too, it's a good pin.

19
00:01:02,788 --> 00:01:04,868
Speaker 6: You look great. There's a reason why you're like that.

20
00:01:04,908 --> 00:01:06,628
Speaker 3: You are going to take us into the Will Blackman

21
00:01:06,748 --> 00:01:07,588
Speaker 3: Wine experience.

22
00:01:07,668 --> 00:01:10,428
Speaker 2: No, the reason is because it's Friday.

23
00:01:10,548 --> 00:01:13,428
Speaker 4: I know you say, dressed down Friday. I might, I

24
00:01:13,508 --> 00:01:15,308
Speaker 4: might go have brunch right after this, you know me.

25
00:01:15,428 --> 00:01:19,508
Speaker 3: It's la like, No, you're shoving it right in our face. Fancy,

26
00:01:19,588 --> 00:01:22,508
Speaker 3: it's our fancy Friday. For Will black Men everyone else,

27
00:01:22,588 --> 00:01:24,748
Speaker 3: it's casual Friday, fancy Friday for Will Black.

28
00:01:24,548 --> 00:01:25,948
Speaker 6: And we get it. We see you. It looks great.

29
00:01:26,108 --> 00:01:27,028
Speaker 6: The pin exactly.

30
00:01:27,148 --> 00:01:29,748
Speaker 3: Ian Rappapork, good morning to you. Are you wearing a tuxedo?

31
00:01:29,868 --> 00:01:33,228
Speaker 3: Let's check, No, you are not your regular rap sheets,

32
00:01:33,268 --> 00:01:35,388
Speaker 3: suit and tie. We love that for you. We heard

33
00:01:35,428 --> 00:01:38,628
Speaker 3: from Aaron Rodgers yesterday and there was a lot of

34
00:01:38,708 --> 00:01:40,868
Speaker 3: commentary about his life, things that are going on. But

35
00:01:40,948 --> 00:01:43,188
Speaker 3: how does this pertain to his football future?

36
00:01:43,708 --> 00:01:46,508
Speaker 7: Aaron Rodgers hit the Pat McAfee show for the first

37
00:01:46,508 --> 00:01:49,828
Speaker 7: time in several months to quote clear the air and

38
00:01:49,868 --> 00:01:52,468
Speaker 7: really fix some of the misconceptions that have been out

39
00:01:52,508 --> 00:01:55,388
Speaker 7: there and reported of him over the last several months.

40
00:01:55,788 --> 00:01:59,268
Speaker 7: After this entire episode, it was basically forty five minutes

41
00:01:59,268 --> 00:02:00,788
Speaker 7: of Aaron Rodgers. I think it's great to say we

42
00:02:00,828 --> 00:02:03,948
Speaker 7: were left with far more questions than actual answers.

43
00:02:03,948 --> 00:02:04,868
Speaker 2: But here there's what we.

44
00:02:04,868 --> 00:02:07,548
Speaker 7: Learned from Rogers on the McAfee show. First of all,

45
00:02:07,788 --> 00:02:11,308
Speaker 7: most importantly, no decision. He has not yet agreed to

46
00:02:11,468 --> 00:02:14,148
Speaker 7: terms with the Pittsburgh Steelers. He has not committed to

47
00:02:14,148 --> 00:02:15,708
Speaker 7: play for the Steeers. The last time we did this,

48
00:02:16,068 --> 00:02:18,868
Speaker 7: he went on Pat show and we were talking about

49
00:02:18,948 --> 00:02:20,388
Speaker 7: was there going to be the Jets, and he said

50
00:02:20,748 --> 00:02:22,548
Speaker 7: I want to play for the Jets. That was not

51
00:02:22,628 --> 00:02:24,908
Speaker 7: the case here left it very open ended. In fact,

52
00:02:25,348 --> 00:02:27,908
Speaker 7: McAfee asked him, is it safe to say there's a

53
00:02:27,908 --> 00:02:29,588
Speaker 7: lot of buzz with the Steelers. Is it's safe to

54
00:02:29,588 --> 00:02:31,388
Speaker 7: say if you're playing anywhere it's Pittsburgh.

55
00:02:31,748 --> 00:02:33,028
Speaker 6: He didn't even want to say that.

56
00:02:33,388 --> 00:02:36,348
Speaker 7: He also said there's no timeline for his decisions, that

57
00:02:36,428 --> 00:02:39,228
Speaker 7: he's been upfront with the Pittsburgh Steelers, that has been

58
00:02:39,268 --> 00:02:42,468
Speaker 7: open with them. Those conversations with Mike tom And and others continue,

59
00:02:42,748 --> 00:02:45,108
Speaker 7: but they have not said that it has to be

60
00:02:45,148 --> 00:02:46,188
Speaker 7: a decision.

61
00:02:45,788 --> 00:02:46,388
Speaker 5: Before the draft.

62
00:02:46,428 --> 00:02:47,908
Speaker 7: So I think it's safe to say now, based on

63
00:02:47,948 --> 00:02:50,148
Speaker 7: what I heard yesterday, there's not going to be a

64
00:02:50,228 --> 00:02:53,508
Speaker 7: decision before the draft. He also cleared up a misconception

65
00:02:53,548 --> 00:02:56,228
Speaker 7: that he was waiting for the Viking, something Ben Roethlisberger

66
00:02:56,508 --> 00:02:59,708
Speaker 7: had opined that is not the case. Does not seem

67
00:02:59,748 --> 00:03:01,668
Speaker 7: like Minnesota is in the car Drims. Seems like they

68
00:03:01,668 --> 00:03:05,588
Speaker 7: are moving forward with JJ. McCarthy also shotdown any thoughts

69
00:03:05,588 --> 00:03:09,148
Speaker 7: of him wanting a multi year, huge, multi million dollar deal,

70
00:03:09,188 --> 00:03:11,588
Speaker 7: said now I would play for ten million dollars, which

71
00:03:11,588 --> 00:03:14,468
Speaker 7: first starting quarterback would actually be a good deal if

72
00:03:14,548 --> 00:03:17,828
Speaker 7: in fact he wants to play. Rogers said, retirement is

73
00:03:17,948 --> 00:03:21,308
Speaker 7: still on the table for him. So after that entire thing,

74
00:03:21,708 --> 00:03:24,828
Speaker 7: what's out there is basically all the options. Rogers said,

75
00:03:24,828 --> 00:03:26,828
Speaker 7: he's going through a lot in his personal life. That

76
00:03:26,948 --> 00:03:29,548
Speaker 7: has been most of his focus, and he spends very

77
00:03:29,548 --> 00:03:33,628
Speaker 7: little time thinking about actual football. He's not holding anyone hostage.

78
00:03:34,068 --> 00:03:36,228
Speaker 7: He's not ready to make a decision just yet.

79
00:03:36,308 --> 00:03:38,708
Speaker 3: Okay, rap sheet, We appreciate that we are going to

80
00:03:38,708 --> 00:03:41,188
Speaker 3: continue to discuss this Aaron Rodgers situation and how it

81
00:03:41,188 --> 00:03:43,308
Speaker 3: plays out. This thing stresses me out as much as

82
00:03:43,348 --> 00:03:46,148
Speaker 3: taking an actual multiple choice test in school. There's so

83
00:03:46,268 --> 00:03:49,068
Speaker 3: many pathways this thing could go, and we're still sitting

84
00:03:49,068 --> 00:03:50,908
Speaker 3: on d all of the above. Will how do you

85
00:03:51,028 --> 00:03:51,948
Speaker 3: see this thing going?

86
00:03:52,188 --> 00:03:55,428
Speaker 4: You know what, My heart started racing because I watched

87
00:03:55,428 --> 00:03:57,388
Speaker 4: that and when I look at all the greats and

88
00:03:57,428 --> 00:03:59,468
Speaker 4: the legends for them to make a decision, they need

89
00:03:59,508 --> 00:04:02,268
Speaker 4: some fuel to keep going right. And so I took

90
00:04:02,268 --> 00:04:05,148
Speaker 4: a look at the Stealless schedule and I'm like, you

91
00:04:05,188 --> 00:04:08,028
Speaker 4: know what, They play Green Bay at home check, they

92
00:04:08,068 --> 00:04:11,908
Speaker 4: go to Chicago, which Aaron Rodgers apparently owns check.

93
00:04:11,748 --> 00:04:13,588
Speaker 2: And they go to the New York Jets.

94
00:04:13,708 --> 00:04:17,828
Speaker 3: They also go to Dublin as an international marketing experience

95
00:04:17,868 --> 00:04:20,748
Speaker 3: with Rogers at the Helm would be a pretty entertaining.

96
00:04:20,308 --> 00:04:20,748
Speaker 6: Part of that.

97
00:04:20,868 --> 00:04:21,068
Speaker 5: Yees.

98
00:04:21,068 --> 00:04:21,468
Speaker 2: So they do.

99
00:04:21,548 --> 00:04:23,228
Speaker 4: And the thing is they do play the Jets based

100
00:04:23,228 --> 00:04:25,908
Speaker 4: off everything he said. He clearly he is furious with

101
00:04:25,948 --> 00:04:29,908
Speaker 4: the situation Hollywood was handled. So, I mean, I honestly,

102
00:04:30,188 --> 00:04:32,108
Speaker 4: if it's either Steelers or nothing, I think if it's

103
00:04:32,148 --> 00:04:33,908
Speaker 4: not Pittsburgh, he's going to shut it down and go home.

104
00:04:33,948 --> 00:04:36,868
Speaker 4: But I mean there is more than a few for

105
00:04:36,948 --> 00:04:38,388
Speaker 4: him to go there and play some football.

106
00:04:38,708 --> 00:04:39,708
Speaker 5: I honestly think that.

107
00:04:39,868 --> 00:04:43,788
Speaker 8: Like it's tough on these teams because they're waiting, Like

108
00:04:43,828 --> 00:04:46,028
Speaker 8: the Steelers, they're waiting on the decision.

109
00:04:45,668 --> 00:04:46,588
Speaker 2: From Aaron Rodgers.

110
00:04:46,908 --> 00:04:48,628
Speaker 8: So they have to decide like are we going to

111
00:04:48,628 --> 00:04:51,068
Speaker 8: continue to wait on this guy or do we move on?

112
00:04:51,508 --> 00:04:54,068
Speaker 8: And he did say the Pat mccaff and pats show

113
00:04:54,508 --> 00:04:56,948
Speaker 8: that he's not holding any of them hostage. So if

114
00:04:56,948 --> 00:04:58,988
Speaker 8: they do want to move on, they can do that.

115
00:04:59,068 --> 00:05:01,548
Speaker 8: But he wants to keep open line and communication, which

116
00:05:01,628 --> 00:05:03,788
Speaker 8: I do respect in that aspect if you have something

117
00:05:03,788 --> 00:05:06,828
Speaker 8: going on in your personal life. I mean, you got

118
00:05:06,828 --> 00:05:09,708
Speaker 8: to respect it from a team standpoint. So it's an

119
00:05:09,748 --> 00:05:12,788
Speaker 8: interesting thing. But Aaron Rodgers to me is still Aaron Rodgers.

120
00:05:12,788 --> 00:05:15,228
Speaker 8: So I think that's why the Stellers are being patient

121
00:05:15,228 --> 00:05:15,828
Speaker 8: in the situation.

122
00:05:15,908 --> 00:05:17,668
Speaker 3: You're still in the like you'd be lucky to have

123
00:05:17,748 --> 00:05:20,148
Speaker 3: them category if he decided to come, because.

124
00:05:19,948 --> 00:05:22,828
Speaker 2: He's seen it. We call him rocketman.

125
00:05:23,028 --> 00:05:25,748
Speaker 5: His arm is top notch.

126
00:05:25,788 --> 00:05:28,028
Speaker 6: I've never heard anybody call him tho. Is that commonly

127
00:05:28,068 --> 00:05:29,508
Speaker 6: known amongst defenders in the street?

128
00:05:29,588 --> 00:05:34,028
Speaker 2: Yeah, the film in their weddings.

129
00:05:34,188 --> 00:05:34,788
Speaker 5: I prefer.

130
00:05:36,228 --> 00:05:38,228
Speaker 2: I'm a fan. I'm a fan. I'm also a fan

131
00:05:38,228 --> 00:05:40,628
Speaker 2: of Ana Rodgers. I hope he plays. I really do,

132
00:05:40,748 --> 00:05:42,508
Speaker 2: especially for a place like the Steelers.

133
00:05:42,788 --> 00:05:46,068
Speaker 9: It's an iconic franchise. You're right, like they're kind of waiting.

134
00:05:46,108 --> 00:05:47,628
Speaker 9: It's the waiting game. So what do they do late

135
00:05:47,668 --> 00:05:49,468
Speaker 9: in the draft? Like, there's a bunch of guys that

136
00:05:49,468 --> 00:05:52,108
Speaker 9: I think are really talented backup quarterbacks maybe could develop.

137
00:05:52,188 --> 00:05:53,828
Speaker 9: Do they try to go get one of those? Regardless

138
00:05:53,908 --> 00:05:54,948
Speaker 9: of Aaron Rodgers situation?

139
00:05:55,188 --> 00:05:56,948
Speaker 2: Do they move on? The thing I took away from

140
00:05:56,948 --> 00:05:57,988
Speaker 2: his interview was when he.

141
00:05:57,948 --> 00:05:59,588
Speaker 9: Said he had his juice back and he was with

142
00:05:59,708 --> 00:06:02,028
Speaker 9: DK and they worked out. We heard from Deshaun Foster

143
00:06:02,108 --> 00:06:04,868
Speaker 9: yesterday that worked out at Westwood and at the juices

144
00:06:04,868 --> 00:06:06,508
Speaker 9: were flowing, he was spinning it. You saw a couple

145
00:06:06,548 --> 00:06:09,308
Speaker 9: of those clips to me that says like he wants

146
00:06:09,308 --> 00:06:09,948
Speaker 9: to keep playing.

147
00:06:09,948 --> 00:06:11,628
Speaker 2: To it a degree, we're all reading.

148
00:06:11,388 --> 00:06:15,228
Speaker 9: Into it obviously, but does he go but prior to

149
00:06:15,308 --> 00:06:19,428
Speaker 9: training camp? And if not, I wonder, like, come October,

150
00:06:19,788 --> 00:06:21,548
Speaker 9: is it like I want to keep playing like and

151
00:06:21,588 --> 00:06:22,748
Speaker 9: that all of a sudden you have an injury and

152
00:06:22,988 --> 00:06:25,748
Speaker 9: gets another phone call to me, I didn't think like, yep,

153
00:06:25,908 --> 00:06:28,668
Speaker 9: he's to lean towards retirement. I felt as though, I

154
00:06:28,708 --> 00:06:30,348
Speaker 9: feel like this guy might not make make a little

155
00:06:30,388 --> 00:06:32,228
Speaker 9: comeback he potentially for the Steelers.

156
00:06:32,388 --> 00:06:35,148
Speaker 3: I think this is bigger than a Rogers observation that

157
00:06:35,188 --> 00:06:37,428
Speaker 3: I've made about these quarterbacks that are great and that

158
00:06:37,548 --> 00:06:39,188
Speaker 3: have a certain amount of ego, which you're going to

159
00:06:39,348 --> 00:06:42,348
Speaker 3: have when you're great at something. But Rogers cares about

160
00:06:42,348 --> 00:06:45,068
Speaker 3: what this thing looks like at the end. And this

161
00:06:45,268 --> 00:06:48,348
Speaker 3: the longer it goes, the more I think he's going

162
00:06:48,388 --> 00:06:50,308
Speaker 3: to come back. And I think other people feel the

163
00:06:50,308 --> 00:06:53,068
Speaker 3: opposite end of the spectrum. Kyle Brandt has said several

164
00:06:53,108 --> 00:06:55,668
Speaker 3: times on this show that he hopes that Rogers has

165
00:06:55,708 --> 00:06:58,108
Speaker 3: played his last snap only because he wants it to

166
00:06:58,148 --> 00:06:59,868
Speaker 3: be done. It was excellent when it was when it

167
00:06:59,908 --> 00:07:02,548
Speaker 3: was happening, But we've seen the best from him. I

168
00:07:02,628 --> 00:07:04,908
Speaker 3: believe that the longer we wait, the more likely is

169
00:07:04,908 --> 00:07:07,228
Speaker 3: that we're going to see him come back. Because this

170
00:07:07,348 --> 00:07:10,588
Speaker 3: is clunky. I find it awkward. I find that this

171
00:07:10,668 --> 00:07:12,388
Speaker 3: is the thing that people are going to remember him

172
00:07:12,428 --> 00:07:15,028
Speaker 3: for and not maybe like a final throw in a

173
00:07:15,468 --> 00:07:18,428
Speaker 3: wild card game, or the man hasn't seen the playoffs

174
00:07:18,428 --> 00:07:20,988
Speaker 3: in several years now. I have to imagine that he

175
00:07:21,028 --> 00:07:24,268
Speaker 3: wants to play his way back into a conversation where he's.

176
00:07:24,108 --> 00:07:25,548
Speaker 6: Remembered a certain way.

177
00:07:25,948 --> 00:07:27,908
Speaker 3: My curiosity now goes back to what we've been talking

178
00:07:27,908 --> 00:07:29,948
Speaker 3: about all week, which is the draft this next week.

179
00:07:30,108 --> 00:07:33,268
Speaker 3: What the heck do the Steelers do, not knowing what

180
00:07:33,388 --> 00:07:36,388
Speaker 3: is happening with their quarterback room. If you have Rogers,

181
00:07:36,428 --> 00:07:38,468
Speaker 3: if you don't have Rogers, what do the Steelers do?

182
00:07:38,748 --> 00:07:40,108
Speaker 2: Well, it's a great question.

183
00:07:40,148 --> 00:07:41,708
Speaker 9: I think if they do have them, I think we'd

184
00:07:41,708 --> 00:07:42,988
Speaker 9: all probably agree it's a year.

185
00:07:43,748 --> 00:07:45,748
Speaker 2: So yeah, I think for them that probably gives you

186
00:07:45,748 --> 00:07:47,788
Speaker 2: a little bit of reprieve of heart. If we don't

187
00:07:47,828 --> 00:07:48,308
Speaker 2: take a guy.

188
00:07:48,348 --> 00:07:50,148
Speaker 9: If we don't go try to get Jalen Milrope, we

189
00:07:50,148 --> 00:07:51,748
Speaker 9: don't try to get Tyler Shuck, we don't try to

190
00:07:51,788 --> 00:07:53,468
Speaker 9: get one of those kind of second tier guys. I

191
00:07:53,508 --> 00:07:55,428
Speaker 9: don't think you're going to see them climb up to

192
00:07:55,468 --> 00:07:58,188
Speaker 9: get a shador A cam War to Jackson Dart.

193
00:07:58,348 --> 00:07:59,348
Speaker 2: I don't see that happening.

194
00:07:59,628 --> 00:08:02,308
Speaker 9: So I think if I am them, I'm probably not

195
00:08:02,348 --> 00:08:04,708
Speaker 9: going quarterback in this draft, like you've got to and

196
00:08:04,788 --> 00:08:08,148
Speaker 9: Mason Rudolph, who's been through pretty much everything in the NFL,

197
00:08:08,188 --> 00:08:10,948
Speaker 9: He's clearly experienced, and then try to navigate it and

198
00:08:11,028 --> 00:08:13,348
Speaker 9: kind of go from there. That's what I would do. However, them,

199
00:08:13,348 --> 00:08:15,148
Speaker 9: I wouldn't draft somebody. I try to build this thing

200
00:08:15,148 --> 00:08:17,468
Speaker 9: in anticipation of Aaron potentially playing it.

201
00:08:17,548 --> 00:08:19,268
Speaker 4: Yeah, I go to Cassiria route, Like you said, just

202
00:08:19,588 --> 00:08:22,348
Speaker 4: draft for fit. Don't go out there and force yourself to, oh,

203
00:08:22,428 --> 00:08:24,028
Speaker 4: yeah we need a quarterback, we need it one for

204
00:08:24,068 --> 00:08:26,628
Speaker 4: the past couple of years ago. They still if they

205
00:08:26,708 --> 00:08:29,228
Speaker 4: need they need some linemen, left tackles, and need more

206
00:08:29,268 --> 00:08:32,068
Speaker 4: playmakers all over the field. So yeah, I wouldn't stress

207
00:08:32,108 --> 00:08:34,268
Speaker 4: about trying to address get in a quarterback right now,

208
00:08:34,348 --> 00:08:36,668
Speaker 4: like continue to build that team, and that's something usually

209
00:08:36,748 --> 00:08:38,588
Speaker 4: the Steelers have done well in the past.

210
00:08:39,628 --> 00:08:42,628
Speaker 8: I think that like going in with Mason Rudolph and

211
00:08:42,668 --> 00:08:45,068
Speaker 8: then you get a receiver like DK Metcalf, you need

212
00:08:45,108 --> 00:08:48,548
Speaker 8: to develop quarterback. Yeah, and so I think, like make it.

213
00:08:48,628 --> 00:08:50,748
Speaker 8: If you're not going to get Aaron Rodgers, you've got

214
00:08:50,748 --> 00:08:52,908
Speaker 8: to go find somebody on the market like Kirk Cousins

215
00:08:52,988 --> 00:08:56,108
Speaker 8: or somebody, somebody that's proven that they can come in

216
00:08:56,148 --> 00:08:58,668
Speaker 8: and win you football games. Because this is the Pittsburgh Steelers.

217
00:08:58,748 --> 00:09:01,988
Speaker 8: Mike Tomlin is kind of like, you know, the Steelers

218
00:09:02,028 --> 00:09:05,868
Speaker 8: really haven't been where they've usually been right so now

219
00:09:06,228 --> 00:09:08,028
Speaker 8: it's like we need to get somebody that's going to

220
00:09:08,108 --> 00:09:09,988
Speaker 8: come in and take over this game. I don't know

221
00:09:10,028 --> 00:09:12,788
Speaker 8: if Mason Rudolf is that guy right now, So I

222
00:09:12,788 --> 00:09:15,348
Speaker 8: think it's going to be up to them whether what

223
00:09:15,388 --> 00:09:17,108
Speaker 8: they do with the quarterback position.

224
00:09:17,188 --> 00:09:19,988
Speaker 6: I think it's a good point. Tony. People are constantly saying.

225
00:09:19,708 --> 00:09:22,348
Speaker 3: About Tomlin, like, oh, he's had the X many winning

226
00:09:22,428 --> 00:09:24,108
Speaker 3: his seasons in a row. Like if I were Tomlin,

227
00:09:24,108 --> 00:09:26,428
Speaker 3: I'd be sick of hearing about that because he'd rather

228
00:09:26,508 --> 00:09:28,748
Speaker 3: be playing in mid to late January than hearing about

229
00:09:28,748 --> 00:09:31,628
Speaker 3: how many winning more than five hundred seasons that they've had.

230
00:09:31,668 --> 00:09:33,988
Speaker 6: So I think he wants to get over the hump.

231
00:09:34,028 --> 00:09:36,108
Speaker 3: And we're not trying to offend Mason Rudolph here, But

232
00:09:36,148 --> 00:09:38,788
Speaker 3: to your point, the weapons that they have offensively and

233
00:09:38,788 --> 00:09:40,868
Speaker 3: what Arthur Smith, I assume wants to try to do

234
00:09:40,988 --> 00:09:43,588
Speaker 3: with as a coordinator, that ain't it When it comes

235
00:09:43,628 --> 00:09:44,348
Speaker 3: to the quarterback?

236
00:09:44,388 --> 00:09:47,268
Speaker 6: What do you know from the Arthur Smith offensive coordinator.

237
00:09:46,868 --> 00:09:50,228
Speaker 3: Experience, Like what would be if not Rogers an ideal

238
00:09:50,428 --> 00:09:52,668
Speaker 3: look at a quarterback with maybe the way that offense

239
00:09:52,708 --> 00:09:55,148
Speaker 3: wants to be run because naturally we go Steelers, we

240
00:09:55,188 --> 00:09:56,668
Speaker 3: go run game, But what do you want.

241
00:09:56,548 --> 00:09:57,308
Speaker 6: To do at quarterback?

242
00:09:57,428 --> 00:09:59,468
Speaker 9: I think it's somebody who's just dramatic command of it,

243
00:09:59,548 --> 00:10:00,948
Speaker 9: and I think it's a vet to your point, is

244
00:10:00,948 --> 00:10:02,868
Speaker 9: it Kirk Cousins. There's somebody out there that they either

245
00:10:02,948 --> 00:10:05,028
Speaker 9: trade for or they navigate And the thing that's interesting

246
00:10:05,108 --> 00:10:07,708
Speaker 9: is that it probably isn't going to happen on draft weekend,

247
00:10:07,828 --> 00:10:09,828
Speaker 9: Like they're not going to make a trade for a quarterback.

248
00:10:09,908 --> 00:10:12,228
Speaker 9: Like coming out of that interview, I read like Steelers

249
00:10:12,228 --> 00:10:12,948
Speaker 9: are gonna be patient.

250
00:10:12,948 --> 00:10:15,028
Speaker 2: They're like, hey, we get it. We respect you. I mean,

251
00:10:15,148 --> 00:10:16,668
Speaker 2: you know Mike Tomlin as well as anybody.

252
00:10:16,668 --> 00:10:19,748
Speaker 9: Fell was like, he's as respected of a coach in

253
00:10:19,828 --> 00:10:22,388
Speaker 9: sports as there is. So for Aaron to say what

254
00:10:22,468 --> 00:10:24,668
Speaker 9: he said of Hey, they know where I'm at.

255
00:10:25,028 --> 00:10:26,868
Speaker 2: I know where I'm at, and everybody's cool with it.

256
00:10:26,988 --> 00:10:29,228
Speaker 2: Like to me, I just say, what a cool environment.

257
00:10:29,228 --> 00:10:30,828
Speaker 9: We talked about a little b yesterday, Like the coach's

258
00:10:30,868 --> 00:10:32,948
Speaker 9: job is a creator. Environment could be the best version

259
00:10:32,988 --> 00:10:35,588
Speaker 9: of yourself within the confines of the franchise. He They've

260
00:10:35,628 --> 00:10:38,068
Speaker 9: done that forever at the Steelers forever. I mean I

261
00:10:38,188 --> 00:10:39,988
Speaker 9: used to walk into the South Side facility a pit

262
00:10:40,188 --> 00:10:42,268
Speaker 9: every day and it was that way twenty years ago,

263
00:10:42,468 --> 00:10:45,268
Speaker 9: and it's that way now, same deal there for that franchise.

264
00:10:45,308 --> 00:10:47,228
Speaker 9: So I think they just sit back. And that's why

265
00:10:47,228 --> 00:10:48,588
Speaker 9: I lean like I think he's a play I mean,

266
00:10:48,588 --> 00:10:51,188
Speaker 9: he's gonna end up there with the Steelers and he'll

267
00:10:51,228 --> 00:10:52,828
Speaker 9: be perfect in maxist.

268
00:10:52,548 --> 00:10:54,948
Speaker 4: Well, like you mentioned, Jamie, like he cares about how

269
00:10:54,988 --> 00:10:57,908
Speaker 4: it looks so clearly in the situation with the Jets,

270
00:10:57,908 --> 00:11:00,628
Speaker 4: he felt completely disrespected and now he wants to be

271
00:11:00,628 --> 00:11:03,228
Speaker 4: in a situation where he's respected. Like for me later

272
00:11:03,268 --> 00:11:05,788
Speaker 4: in my career, it was more so about like where

273
00:11:05,828 --> 00:11:06,348
Speaker 4: can I go?

274
00:11:06,388 --> 00:11:07,348
Speaker 5: Who's going to value me?

275
00:11:07,588 --> 00:11:10,108
Speaker 4: Because the last four years of my career I'm signing

276
00:11:10,308 --> 00:11:12,428
Speaker 4: one year deal, So it is about who you know.

277
00:11:12,708 --> 00:11:15,588
Speaker 4: You do have a relationship with the GM, with the coordinator,

278
00:11:15,628 --> 00:11:18,068
Speaker 4: with the head coach, whoever. It is so right now

279
00:11:18,108 --> 00:11:20,468
Speaker 4: and like you mentioned with Tomlin, he totally gets it.

280
00:11:20,508 --> 00:11:22,868
Speaker 4: He's respectful of his time, and I think right now

281
00:11:23,108 --> 00:11:25,548
Speaker 4: how it looks for Aaron like that is the place

282
00:11:25,548 --> 00:11:28,268
Speaker 4: where he feels most validated and where I think he's

283
00:11:28,268 --> 00:11:28,788
Speaker 4: going to end up.

284
00:11:29,108 --> 00:11:29,468
Speaker 6: All right.

285
00:11:29,748 --> 00:11:33,108
Speaker 3: That is the Pittsburgh Steelers, as we'll mention, their schedule

286
00:11:33,188 --> 00:11:36,428
Speaker 3: is juicy next season and the marketability is off the

287
00:11:36,508 --> 00:11:38,468
Speaker 3: charts when it comes to Dublin and teams that they

288
00:11:38,508 --> 00:11:41,588
Speaker 3: have to play. Who their quarterback remains to be seen.

289
00:11:41,828 --> 00:11:43,628
Speaker 3: Maybe it's a guy that they take during the draft.

290
00:11:43,668 --> 00:11:45,748
Speaker 3: We got draft prospects coming on the show this week,

291
00:11:45,788 --> 00:11:48,388
Speaker 3: and we continue running down our list as we are

292
00:11:48,428 --> 00:11:50,708
Speaker 3: six days away from the draft in Green Bay. Look

293
00:11:50,708 --> 00:11:53,548
Speaker 3: at that guy, big Man Davis in Ohio say, defensive.

294
00:11:53,228 --> 00:11:55,868
Speaker 6: Tackle ty Lee Williams coming on the show.

295
00:11:56,108 --> 00:11:58,668
Speaker 3: Yogi was just at their spring practice last week. He

296
00:11:58,748 --> 00:12:00,548
Speaker 3: knows a thing or two about the Buckeyes program and

297
00:12:00,588 --> 00:12:02,548
Speaker 3: the kind of product they put into the NFL.

298
00:12:03,468 --> 00:12:04,708
Speaker 6: But first, you've.

299
00:12:04,548 --> 00:12:07,908
Speaker 3: Heard the names like Cam Moore, Shadoor Sanders, Jackson Dart.

300
00:12:07,948 --> 00:12:10,588
Speaker 6: You'll hear from him on the show today. Actually, there's

301
00:12:10,628 --> 00:12:11,148
Speaker 6: a lot.

302
00:12:10,948 --> 00:12:13,188
Speaker 3: Of quarterbacks that you know of who are some under

303
00:12:13,188 --> 00:12:15,908
Speaker 3: the radar guys that we need to keep an eye

304
00:12:15,948 --> 00:12:17,828
Speaker 3: on that could make an impact at the next level.

305
00:12:17,868 --> 00:12:19,308
Speaker 6: You'll get Roth quarterbacks sleep first.

306
00:12:19,388 --> 00:12:20,148
Speaker 5: That's next.

307
00:12:29,388 --> 00:12:32,308
Speaker 6: Good football, Tennessee Titans.

308
00:12:32,348 --> 00:12:34,708
Speaker 3: You're on the clock, and a lot of people think

309
00:12:34,748 --> 00:12:38,708
Speaker 3: you're gonna hear Miami's cam Ward as the number one

310
00:12:38,908 --> 00:12:42,028
Speaker 3: overall pick next Thursday in Green Bay, with Shadoor Sanders

311
00:12:42,108 --> 00:12:45,588
Speaker 3: likely being the next quarterback off the board. After that, however,

312
00:12:45,948 --> 00:12:48,748
Speaker 3: the list keeps going, the names keep rolling, and the

313
00:12:48,868 --> 00:12:52,708
Speaker 3: rounds in the NFL Draft continue on well into Saturday.

314
00:12:52,748 --> 00:12:54,868
Speaker 3: You'll get Rop this with us, and he's got a

315
00:12:54,908 --> 00:12:57,148
Speaker 3: list of other quarterbacks to keep an eye on as

316
00:12:57,188 --> 00:12:58,388
Speaker 3: potential sleepers.

317
00:12:58,468 --> 00:12:59,588
Speaker 6: Is that the word we're gonna go with?

318
00:12:59,668 --> 00:13:02,228
Speaker 9: Yeah, I think so, because to your point, like every

319
00:13:02,588 --> 00:13:06,908
Speaker 9: dialogue is around Cam shadorm Now it's a little Jackson Dart, right,

320
00:13:06,908 --> 00:13:09,068
Speaker 9: Maybe it's a little Jaln Milroe, even you look at

321
00:13:09,108 --> 00:13:11,388
Speaker 9: Kyle McCord, like, people have talked about these guys enough,

322
00:13:11,468 --> 00:13:13,308
Speaker 9: so it's kind to think about the quarterback position. I'm like,

323
00:13:13,308 --> 00:13:15,668
Speaker 9: all right, let's try to dive into some guys that

324
00:13:15,668 --> 00:13:17,708
Speaker 9: aren't getting a lot of love. And when I look

325
00:13:17,748 --> 00:13:19,548
Speaker 9: at these five quarterbacks I want to talk about they

326
00:13:19,548 --> 00:13:21,668
Speaker 9: all have a few things in common. One is they've

327
00:13:21,708 --> 00:13:24,148
Speaker 9: all gone through something. They all have some scars in

328
00:13:24,188 --> 00:13:26,268
Speaker 9: that position. I think you need to have that. They

329
00:13:26,308 --> 00:13:28,788
Speaker 9: also have flaws, but most importantly at this craft, I

330
00:13:28,828 --> 00:13:30,988
Speaker 9: think you have to have unique traits. So these five

331
00:13:31,068 --> 00:13:33,628
Speaker 9: quarterbacks I think all have unique traits. Let's talk about

332
00:13:33,628 --> 00:13:35,868
Speaker 9: a guy who we talked a little bit about yesterday

333
00:13:35,868 --> 00:13:38,508
Speaker 9: and Tyler Shuck. Now I debated he and Jylen Milroy

334
00:13:38,548 --> 00:13:40,108
Speaker 9: think Jaylyn Millrow is getting a little bit more play

335
00:13:40,108 --> 00:13:42,108
Speaker 9: than Tyler. So let's talk about Tyler Shuck. To me,

336
00:13:42,148 --> 00:13:44,068
Speaker 9: he's going to be twenty six years old as a rookie.

337
00:13:44,468 --> 00:13:47,068
Speaker 9: Let's just start with that. So he's got dramatic experience.

338
00:13:47,268 --> 00:13:49,468
Speaker 9: He's been at three schools, go back to twenty twenty.

339
00:13:49,668 --> 00:13:51,668
Speaker 9: He was at Oregon in the COVID season, let him

340
00:13:51,668 --> 00:13:54,348
Speaker 9: do a PAC twelve title, goes to Texas Tech, gets injured,

341
00:13:54,348 --> 00:13:57,428
Speaker 9: most importantly, gets two degrees during his time at Oregon

342
00:13:57,508 --> 00:14:00,268
Speaker 9: and a Texas Tech, and then he finishes up at Louisville.

343
00:14:00,308 --> 00:14:03,188
Speaker 9: So what are his unique traits? He's got what he

344
00:14:03,268 --> 00:14:05,508
Speaker 9: has coined a fight mentality.

345
00:14:05,548 --> 00:14:06,628
Speaker 2: Okay, what does that mean?

346
00:14:06,868 --> 00:14:07,028
Speaker 5: Well?

347
00:14:07,108 --> 00:14:09,548
Speaker 9: I met him at the Elleital eleven think American idol

348
00:14:09,548 --> 00:14:10,028
Speaker 9: for high.

349
00:14:09,868 --> 00:14:11,508
Speaker 2: School quarterback, and we asked.

350
00:14:11,348 --> 00:14:14,308
Speaker 9: These guys to write an essay about how they've navigated adversity.

351
00:14:14,468 --> 00:14:15,588
Speaker 2: So I'm going to read a portion of it.

352
00:14:15,828 --> 00:14:19,148
Speaker 9: At seventeen years old, he talked about his commitment to

353
00:14:19,228 --> 00:14:23,268
Speaker 9: fighting and overcoming adversity started when he was seven years old.

354
00:14:23,668 --> 00:14:26,588
Speaker 9: My mother was diagnosed with stage four breast cancer, almost

355
00:14:26,628 --> 00:14:28,788
Speaker 9: passed away three times. A few months later, in that

356
00:14:28,868 --> 00:14:31,068
Speaker 9: same year, my older brother passes away.

357
00:14:31,548 --> 00:14:32,588
Speaker 2: Thus, the fighters.

358
00:14:32,348 --> 00:14:34,828
Speaker 9: Mentality exemplifies who I am, because I'm a true reflection

359
00:14:35,188 --> 00:14:36,828
Speaker 9: of my mom. So I just look at him and

360
00:14:36,868 --> 00:14:39,588
Speaker 9: you watch him play, you watch tight games, you talk those.

361
00:14:39,508 --> 00:14:41,308
Speaker 2: Teammates, anybody wh's been around him.

362
00:14:41,708 --> 00:14:45,428
Speaker 9: He's got such a unique ability to just not flinch.

363
00:14:45,628 --> 00:14:47,908
Speaker 9: And I think that is a powerful, unique trait for

364
00:14:47,948 --> 00:14:49,828
Speaker 9: Tyler Schuck. I know you coached against them last year

365
00:14:49,828 --> 00:14:51,908
Speaker 9: when you were at Boston College. I am such a

366
00:14:51,948 --> 00:14:53,908
Speaker 9: fan of him. He's a vet, he's been around, he's

367
00:14:53,908 --> 00:14:56,308
Speaker 9: married now, but most importantly, he's got that mentality. I

368
00:14:56,348 --> 00:14:57,948
Speaker 9: think you guys know this as well as anybody. You

369
00:14:58,028 --> 00:14:59,228
Speaker 9: need that in the NFL.

370
00:14:59,228 --> 00:15:02,108
Speaker 2: So yeah, i'd like my dB getting fried right now.

371
00:15:02,148 --> 00:15:03,668
Speaker 2: A little frustrated.

372
00:15:03,068 --> 00:15:07,748
Speaker 4: There scotten against him. He was the most complete quarterback

373
00:15:07,828 --> 00:15:10,228
Speaker 4: we play against last year, just as maturity, his adversity,

374
00:15:10,308 --> 00:15:13,308
Speaker 4: what he's been through has never quit mentality, and he

375
00:15:13,468 --> 00:15:15,228
Speaker 4: really truly completed that offense.

376
00:15:15,348 --> 00:15:18,428
Speaker 3: Loubu So last time I wrote an essay was quite

377
00:15:18,508 --> 00:15:21,468
Speaker 3: some time ago. But we don't have any like academic

378
00:15:21,588 --> 00:15:24,308
Speaker 3: violations of you just quoting an essay that this kid.

379
00:15:24,148 --> 00:15:26,068
Speaker 6: Wrote like years ago in a Lead eleven Like I.

380
00:15:26,068 --> 00:15:29,868
Speaker 3: Would be sweating bullets if someone who's.

381
00:15:28,708 --> 00:15:29,548
Speaker 2: He took a couple of lines.

382
00:15:29,948 --> 00:15:31,468
Speaker 6: It was excellent, it was beautiful.

383
00:15:31,468 --> 00:15:33,668
Speaker 3: But that's amazing that you kept a hold of that,

384
00:15:33,788 --> 00:15:36,108
Speaker 3: and the fact that he's writing that eloquently about his

385
00:15:36,228 --> 00:15:37,148
Speaker 3: life at that time.

386
00:15:37,308 --> 00:15:38,788
Speaker 9: Well, a lead life has been around for now twenty

387
00:15:38,788 --> 00:15:41,748
Speaker 9: seven years, and for the last eighteen of them. We've

388
00:15:41,788 --> 00:15:43,988
Speaker 9: asked guys that question, which is everything they ask at

389
00:15:43,988 --> 00:15:46,148
Speaker 9: the Senior Bowl, everything they ask in the draft. Tell

390
00:15:46,228 --> 00:15:48,228
Speaker 9: us through a moment when you went through diversity, and

391
00:15:48,308 --> 00:15:50,348
Speaker 9: we asked him, how have you fallen in love with football?

392
00:15:50,388 --> 00:15:52,028
Speaker 9: Because I think there's a difference here, like do you

393
00:15:52,068 --> 00:15:55,028
Speaker 9: love what football does for you ig followers, brand, deals,

394
00:15:55,068 --> 00:15:55,388
Speaker 9: et cetera.

395
00:15:55,468 --> 00:15:56,828
Speaker 2: Or do you love what you can do for the game.

396
00:15:57,228 --> 00:15:59,668
Speaker 9: So the remaining four quarterbacks I believe fall into the

397
00:15:59,708 --> 00:16:01,148
Speaker 9: second character as well.

398
00:16:01,228 --> 00:16:02,788
Speaker 2: So let's move on to quarterback number two.

399
00:16:03,108 --> 00:16:04,868
Speaker 5: Quin you were sleeper?

400
00:16:04,948 --> 00:16:05,668
Speaker 2: What do you mean sleeper?

401
00:16:05,668 --> 00:16:07,348
Speaker 9: This was the biggest recruit in the history of the world,

402
00:16:07,348 --> 00:16:08,348
Speaker 9: and I agree with that.

403
00:16:08,468 --> 00:16:10,948
Speaker 2: He made a throw back in the day he went viral.

404
00:16:10,948 --> 00:16:14,188
Speaker 9: Everybody called him Pat Mahomes seventeen years old, remember the mullet, right,

405
00:16:14,228 --> 00:16:16,508
Speaker 9: and all of a sudden, all the expectations are on

406
00:16:16,588 --> 00:16:19,388
Speaker 9: and literally was told he was the perfect quarterback by

407
00:16:19,428 --> 00:16:20,868
Speaker 9: all of the ranking services.

408
00:16:21,068 --> 00:16:23,508
Speaker 2: We all know there's no such thing as a perfect anything.

409
00:16:23,668 --> 00:16:25,188
Speaker 2: He had to navigate that.

410
00:16:25,748 --> 00:16:29,548
Speaker 9: Then, in the state of Texas, nil wasn't allowed at

411
00:16:29,588 --> 00:16:31,348
Speaker 9: the time when he was in high school, so he

412
00:16:31,548 --> 00:16:35,348
Speaker 9: left high school early, goes to the Ohio State University

413
00:16:35,508 --> 00:16:37,948
Speaker 9: to make some nil deals. Also played for Ryan Day. Well,

414
00:16:37,948 --> 00:16:40,148
Speaker 9: there's a guy named CJ. Stroud there, so he transfers

415
00:16:40,268 --> 00:16:41,788
Speaker 9: to where you see now in Texas.

416
00:16:41,788 --> 00:16:43,108
Speaker 2: So what are his unique traits?

417
00:16:43,508 --> 00:16:46,588
Speaker 9: Letter to back to back college football playoff appearances?

418
00:16:46,948 --> 00:16:50,188
Speaker 2: Number one, Number two, He's a gamer. He never flinches.

419
00:16:50,228 --> 00:16:52,188
Speaker 9: Go to fourth and thirteen against Arizona State and the

420
00:16:52,228 --> 00:16:54,708
Speaker 9: collegeurable playoff game on the line and overtime rips the

421
00:16:54,708 --> 00:16:57,548
Speaker 9: seamball to send his team to the semi finals.

422
00:16:57,708 --> 00:16:59,308
Speaker 2: I'm an absolute fan of him.

423
00:16:59,348 --> 00:17:01,348
Speaker 9: I think he has what it takes and he played

424
00:17:01,348 --> 00:17:02,228
Speaker 9: in pro style offenses.

425
00:17:02,228 --> 00:17:05,068
Speaker 2: Steve Sarkisian coach in the NFL. Here's the play I'm

426
00:17:05,108 --> 00:17:06,308
Speaker 2: talking about. I think this is the.

427
00:17:06,228 --> 00:17:08,348
Speaker 9: Best throw last year in all of college football when

428
00:17:08,388 --> 00:17:11,868
Speaker 9: you put context into it, the situation, the pressure, the moment.

429
00:17:12,348 --> 00:17:14,468
Speaker 9: Everything in the Texas is they were in the semi

430
00:17:14,508 --> 00:17:16,468
Speaker 9: finals the year before. I feel a little bit of

431
00:17:16,508 --> 00:17:19,348
Speaker 9: heat from killing Kenny Dillingham squad at Arizona State, and

432
00:17:19,388 --> 00:17:22,188
Speaker 9: away he goes ripshot and they're on their way to

433
00:17:22,188 --> 00:17:25,108
Speaker 9: the semi finals and really a player two away from

434
00:17:25,148 --> 00:17:26,228
Speaker 9: potentially beating Ohio State.

435
00:17:26,428 --> 00:17:28,108
Speaker 3: Then there's a lot to be said too, for this

436
00:17:28,188 --> 00:17:29,948
Speaker 3: kind of goes back to the to a Jalen thing

437
00:17:29,988 --> 00:17:32,188
Speaker 3: that happened at Alabama. There was a lot of heat

438
00:17:32,228 --> 00:17:34,828
Speaker 3: on Quinn and arch Manning and like what was that dynamic?

439
00:17:34,908 --> 00:17:37,388
Speaker 3: Like they must hate each other and Star coached them

440
00:17:37,428 --> 00:17:39,148
Speaker 3: up to a point where they did not. And the

441
00:17:39,188 --> 00:17:42,108
Speaker 3: fact that Quinn has emerged from that situation kind of

442
00:17:42,268 --> 00:17:43,508
Speaker 3: a mature quarterback.

443
00:17:43,548 --> 00:17:45,508
Speaker 6: It seems like he can handle a lot of situations.

444
00:17:45,548 --> 00:17:46,748
Speaker 9: And that's what it's going to be like in the

445
00:17:46,828 --> 00:17:49,388
Speaker 9: room as we all know. I mean, it's not just

446
00:17:49,468 --> 00:17:52,108
Speaker 9: here's the keys and go. It's the most competitive position

447
00:17:52,188 --> 00:17:53,948
Speaker 9: of all of sports, an absolute shark tank.

448
00:17:53,948 --> 00:17:54,988
Speaker 2: There's not a lot of oxygen.

449
00:17:55,348 --> 00:17:58,348
Speaker 9: He dealt with that already at Ohio State and then

450
00:17:58,388 --> 00:17:59,348
Speaker 9: dealt with it at.

451
00:17:59,268 --> 00:18:00,348
Speaker 2: Texas as you just reference.

452
00:18:00,348 --> 00:18:02,708
Speaker 9: All right, let's go to number three and I'm going

453
00:18:02,748 --> 00:18:05,668
Speaker 9: to the defending national champs, Will Howard.

454
00:18:05,828 --> 00:18:06,748
Speaker 2: And not only.

455
00:18:06,588 --> 00:18:09,228
Speaker 9: Can he probably SHOCKGNN Beer better than anybody who's still

456
00:18:09,508 --> 00:18:11,668
Speaker 9: him and grooded, but I'm a big fan of him.

457
00:18:11,668 --> 00:18:14,548
Speaker 9: So what are his unique traits? Well, again, started at

458
00:18:14,588 --> 00:18:17,988
Speaker 9: Kansas State, had to navigate being a dual threat quarterback there.

459
00:18:18,028 --> 00:18:20,788
Speaker 9: Then he goes to the Ohio State University. He seeing

460
00:18:20,948 --> 00:18:23,308
Speaker 9: at k State Spinninati. He was a true dual threat

461
00:18:23,468 --> 00:18:25,588
Speaker 9: there for Chris Cleman, and then on his way to

462
00:18:25,588 --> 00:18:26,148
Speaker 9: Ohio State.

463
00:18:26,148 --> 00:18:28,868
Speaker 2: What I love is that it wasn't easy and a quarterback.

464
00:18:28,988 --> 00:18:31,508
Speaker 9: So often I think that we think of these guys

465
00:18:31,508 --> 00:18:32,828
Speaker 9: with all the experience they have to go to a

466
00:18:32,828 --> 00:18:34,988
Speaker 9: new system and how come he's not spinning it in

467
00:18:35,028 --> 00:18:35,548
Speaker 9: week two?

468
00:18:35,828 --> 00:18:36,708
Speaker 2: Well, because he's got to learn.

469
00:18:36,748 --> 00:18:38,508
Speaker 9: He played for Chip Kelly, who oh, by the way,

470
00:18:38,588 --> 00:18:40,428
Speaker 9: is with the Las Vegas Raiders right now, was the

471
00:18:40,428 --> 00:18:44,308
Speaker 9: offensive coordinator, and this guy again navigated challenging times. He's

472
00:18:44,308 --> 00:18:47,148
Speaker 9: from Pennsylvania, went to penn State middle of the season

473
00:18:47,188 --> 00:18:48,748
Speaker 9: and threw a pick six in the first drive.

474
00:18:48,628 --> 00:18:51,068
Speaker 2: Didn't flinch, and then in the College Football Playoff, there.

475
00:18:50,948 --> 00:18:53,788
Speaker 9: Was nobody that played better, nobody played better at quarterback

476
00:18:53,828 --> 00:18:55,588
Speaker 9: in the country than Will Howard of the course of

477
00:18:55,588 --> 00:18:58,388
Speaker 9: that month, completing seventy five percent of his passes. Look

478
00:18:58,388 --> 00:19:00,748
Speaker 9: at the Notre Dame game, he starts thirteen of thirteen

479
00:19:00,988 --> 00:19:03,188
Speaker 9: and truly became a monster in the playoff and a

480
00:19:03,228 --> 00:19:05,828
Speaker 9: true dual threat. I think that is his unique trait

481
00:19:06,188 --> 00:19:09,028
Speaker 9: and he's got command they lose to Michigan and the

482
00:19:09,068 --> 00:19:11,228
Speaker 9: world is falling on him, and what do they do.

483
00:19:11,428 --> 00:19:13,188
Speaker 9: They have a team meeting. We'll talk to Tyler Williams

484
00:19:13,228 --> 00:19:16,148
Speaker 9: about it later on in the show. And they didn't flinch,

485
00:19:16,348 --> 00:19:18,028
Speaker 9: and he was the guy having to bear the brun

486
00:19:18,068 --> 00:19:20,508
Speaker 9: of that. I mean it's Ryan Day, the quarterback, and

487
00:19:20,548 --> 00:19:22,268
Speaker 9: the governor. I mean in that order. It's kind of

488
00:19:22,308 --> 00:19:24,428
Speaker 9: like your time in the SEC in the State of Alabama.

489
00:19:24,788 --> 00:19:26,348
Speaker 9: Same deal there. So that is will Howard.

490
00:19:26,348 --> 00:19:28,548
Speaker 2: He'says for me at number thie keen, all right, number four,

491
00:19:28,588 --> 00:19:30,308
Speaker 2: all right, number four, Dylan Gabriel.

492
00:19:31,068 --> 00:19:32,668
Speaker 9: My favorite play was when he was playing for your

493
00:19:32,708 --> 00:19:35,308
Speaker 9: Sooners against Texas in the red zone. All of a sudden,

494
00:19:35,308 --> 00:19:37,428
Speaker 9: it's tight. He makes a huge play in that rivalry game.

495
00:19:37,428 --> 00:19:40,908
Speaker 9: But overall he's so experienced, sixty three starts in his career,

496
00:19:40,948 --> 00:19:41,348
Speaker 9: the most.

497
00:19:41,228 --> 00:19:44,228
Speaker 2: In the history of college football. The biggest thing for

498
00:19:44,268 --> 00:19:45,348
Speaker 2: me his unique traits.

499
00:19:45,548 --> 00:19:47,468
Speaker 9: I think quarterbacks have to have some clarity around the

500
00:19:47,508 --> 00:19:50,188
Speaker 9: things that matter most. What matters most, he knows it's

501
00:19:50,228 --> 00:19:53,588
Speaker 9: playing for him. He's confident, and all of his attributes

502
00:19:53,588 --> 00:19:55,988
Speaker 9: and his actions have a disciplined element to it. So

503
00:19:56,028 --> 00:19:58,628
Speaker 9: when he walks into a facility. He's going to feel

504
00:19:58,628 --> 00:20:00,388
Speaker 9: like a veteran in there, and not just because of

505
00:20:00,388 --> 00:20:02,348
Speaker 9: his age, just comes of the starts, because all the

506
00:20:02,388 --> 00:20:05,428
Speaker 9: things that he has navigated and on through and then

507
00:20:05,468 --> 00:20:06,748
Speaker 9: I think he's got pinpoint.

508
00:20:06,748 --> 00:20:08,268
Speaker 2: Actually, I think he can spin it.

509
00:20:08,388 --> 00:20:10,548
Speaker 9: He really worked on his arm strength from last year

510
00:20:10,588 --> 00:20:12,548
Speaker 9: or two now, thought about going out a year ago.

511
00:20:12,788 --> 00:20:14,348
Speaker 9: The draft did not give him the grade he wanted to,

512
00:20:14,348 --> 00:20:17,268
Speaker 9: so he went back to work. I love that humility

513
00:20:17,348 --> 00:20:19,028
Speaker 9: for him, and I think he's going to really put

514
00:20:19,108 --> 00:20:21,068
Speaker 9: himself in a great position as one of those backups,

515
00:20:21,228 --> 00:20:23,148
Speaker 9: make a little bit noise in traning camp and be

516
00:20:23,188 --> 00:20:25,868
Speaker 9: in a perfect position if something falters, to take a

517
00:20:25,948 --> 00:20:26,588
Speaker 9: run at being a starter.

518
00:20:26,708 --> 00:20:28,628
Speaker 6: And he's efficient. He had the minivan in college. He

519
00:20:28,708 --> 00:20:30,508
Speaker 6: drives his teammates around the wide receiver.

520
00:20:30,668 --> 00:20:32,908
Speaker 3: So if we love a guy that's into efficiency, it's perfect.

521
00:20:33,108 --> 00:20:35,548
Speaker 9: Love a good minivan. I love a minivan right now.

522
00:20:35,548 --> 00:20:37,428
Speaker 9: All right, all right, let's go number five. This is

523
00:20:37,468 --> 00:20:39,908
Speaker 9: somebody who probably hasn't gotten any real play, but this

524
00:20:39,948 --> 00:20:43,468
Speaker 9: is Max brosemer Adam Minnesota. Yes, row the boat. Indeed,

525
00:20:43,708 --> 00:20:46,068
Speaker 9: he was a Walter Payton finalist, which was like the

526
00:20:46,108 --> 00:20:48,828
Speaker 9: Heisman of one double a football FCS football. He transfers

527
00:20:48,868 --> 00:20:52,068
Speaker 9: into Minnesota true pro style scheme under PJ. Fleck and

528
00:20:52,068 --> 00:20:55,268
Speaker 9: Greg Harbow, and what he did there was fascinating.

529
00:20:55,428 --> 00:20:56,868
Speaker 2: Off talking shoulders and above.

530
00:20:56,908 --> 00:21:00,308
Speaker 9: He's carrying three plays every snap of the line of scrimmage.

531
00:21:00,388 --> 00:21:02,708
Speaker 9: They called him an eleventh coach. He's in the facility

532
00:21:02,988 --> 00:21:05,988
Speaker 9: all Sunday, all money at five am to ten pm.

533
00:21:06,028 --> 00:21:09,188
Speaker 9: He'd come back to the facility to script plays, understand coveragers,

534
00:21:09,308 --> 00:21:10,308
Speaker 9: understand concepts.

535
00:21:10,388 --> 00:21:11,828
Speaker 2: He's really one of those unique players.

536
00:21:11,828 --> 00:21:13,788
Speaker 9: And in college football, you don't see a lot of

537
00:21:13,788 --> 00:21:16,348
Speaker 9: guys playing under center. At times, he's playing under center.

538
00:21:16,388 --> 00:21:18,708
Speaker 9: He's got to turn his back to a defense. He's

539
00:21:18,868 --> 00:21:21,268
Speaker 9: thrived in big moments. How about that the big touch push.

540
00:21:21,308 --> 00:21:22,668
Speaker 9: How a bit of a play was That was my

541
00:21:22,708 --> 00:21:26,468
Speaker 9: favorite one of the year. Talking unique toush pushes in

542
00:21:26,508 --> 00:21:27,308
Speaker 9: the entire country.

543
00:21:27,308 --> 00:21:28,588
Speaker 2: Shot out to his o C. Greg Harbo.

544
00:21:28,668 --> 00:21:31,508
Speaker 9: But overall, I think that he's got a unique traits

545
00:21:31,628 --> 00:21:32,348
Speaker 9: him of what he went for.

546
00:21:32,508 --> 00:21:34,428
Speaker 2: He was a two star recruity.

547
00:21:34,468 --> 00:21:36,908
Speaker 9: He was ranked two hundred and fifty fifth in the

548
00:21:36,908 --> 00:21:41,188
Speaker 9: class of twenty nineteen, same class as Boonix and Jade Daniels.

549
00:21:41,428 --> 00:21:43,228
Speaker 9: So think about that's for a second. He was ranked

550
00:21:43,268 --> 00:21:45,908
Speaker 9: the two hundred and fifty fifth prospect at his position,

551
00:21:46,468 --> 00:21:48,988
Speaker 9: and in less than a week he's gonna find himself

552
00:21:49,028 --> 00:21:50,788
Speaker 9: on an NFL team. Like, you just have to have

553
00:21:50,828 --> 00:21:53,788
Speaker 9: something special to you to be able to go through that.

554
00:21:53,828 --> 00:21:55,388
Speaker 9: You have to have a belief in yourself, and I

555
00:21:55,388 --> 00:21:58,028
Speaker 9: think all five of these quarterbacks have that.

556
00:21:58,148 --> 00:21:59,868
Speaker 2: So I don't know if any of them are.

557
00:21:59,748 --> 00:22:01,188
Speaker 9: Gonna None of them are going to be Day one

558
00:22:01,188 --> 00:22:03,908
Speaker 9: starters in the NFL, but will they get a shot?

559
00:22:03,948 --> 00:22:06,388
Speaker 9: Will they be Joshua Dobbs, who's going on his ninth

560
00:22:06,428 --> 00:22:09,388
Speaker 9: season in the NFL right now, Like, for sure, I

561
00:22:09,388 --> 00:22:11,828
Speaker 9: would throw down on all of these guys if I

562
00:22:11,828 --> 00:22:14,028
Speaker 9: was a team looking for a backup quarterback, somebody that

563
00:22:14,068 --> 00:22:16,228
Speaker 9: can fit the room and if we needed them could

564
00:22:16,228 --> 00:22:17,268
Speaker 9: elevate in the moment.

565
00:22:17,388 --> 00:22:19,508
Speaker 3: I was stressed yesterday, Yogi, when you were describing this

566
00:22:19,588 --> 00:22:21,948
Speaker 3: year's quarterback class is like the backup class. But now

567
00:22:21,988 --> 00:22:24,028
Speaker 3: I find it to be a compliment. You fully sold

568
00:22:24,068 --> 00:22:26,908
Speaker 3: me on these guys because the quarterback list it is deep.

569
00:22:26,948 --> 00:22:28,708
Speaker 3: It's a great list that you just put out for us.

570
00:22:28,828 --> 00:22:30,228
Speaker 3: I do have a question known it has to do

571
00:22:30,268 --> 00:22:32,468
Speaker 3: with Brosmer. You can show the list that you just did.

572
00:22:33,828 --> 00:22:37,428
Speaker 3: You say Brosmer is in this same recruiting class from

573
00:22:37,468 --> 00:22:39,588
Speaker 3: twenty nineteen as Bo Nix and Jane Daniels.

574
00:22:39,588 --> 00:22:41,588
Speaker 6: Now we've just seen those guys go through those rookie years.

575
00:22:41,828 --> 00:22:43,708
Speaker 6: How much college football are these guys playing.

576
00:22:43,868 --> 00:22:46,428
Speaker 3: Oh my gosh, they're so experienced when they get to

577
00:22:46,428 --> 00:22:47,068
Speaker 3: the NFL.

578
00:22:47,468 --> 00:22:49,788
Speaker 6: And those are two excellent rookies from last year.

579
00:22:49,948 --> 00:22:52,308
Speaker 9: Yeah, I know, you're exactly right. I think the COVID

580
00:22:52,388 --> 00:22:54,828
Speaker 9: element to this, and we're in this unique window at

581
00:22:54,828 --> 00:22:58,068
Speaker 9: the position where I think it's the most development time,

582
00:22:58,668 --> 00:23:00,668
Speaker 9: a time in college football where quarterbacks have been the

583
00:23:00,668 --> 00:23:03,188
Speaker 9: most developed. I just think they've seen so much. When

584
00:23:03,228 --> 00:23:06,188
Speaker 9: you come last year's raft to this year's draft, there's

585
00:23:06,228 --> 00:23:10,188
Speaker 9: some similarities when you look at their ages entering the

586
00:23:10,268 --> 00:23:13,868
Speaker 9: draft and games started. There's actually some advantages for this

587
00:23:13,988 --> 00:23:16,468
Speaker 9: year's class. Look at that Dylan sixty three, Bo Nick

588
00:23:16,548 --> 00:23:18,348
Speaker 9: sixty one. That was the record that he beat, And

589
00:23:18,388 --> 00:23:20,668
Speaker 9: I just think there's something for NFL people that I've

590
00:23:20,708 --> 00:23:23,468
Speaker 9: talked to. They want to see snaps, they want to

591
00:23:23,468 --> 00:23:25,828
Speaker 9: see playing, especially when you look at these guys on

592
00:23:25,868 --> 00:23:26,388
Speaker 9: the left.

593
00:23:26,708 --> 00:23:29,668
Speaker 2: The first four sec big ten.

594
00:23:29,908 --> 00:23:33,308
Speaker 9: And we talk to anybody in the league college Football realignment.

595
00:23:33,508 --> 00:23:36,348
Speaker 9: They enjoy that element because every weekend they're seeing how

596
00:23:36,348 --> 00:23:39,228
Speaker 9: do you navigate an elite edge rusher coming out of Michigan,

597
00:23:39,228 --> 00:23:41,548
Speaker 9: out of Ohio State, if you're Dylan Gabriel, how do

598
00:23:41,588 --> 00:23:43,948
Speaker 9: you navigate for quinn ewers in the SEC some of

599
00:23:44,028 --> 00:23:46,588
Speaker 9: those monsters coming off the edge now every single weekend.

600
00:23:46,908 --> 00:23:48,868
Speaker 9: And I think that it's a unique element that these

601
00:23:49,548 --> 00:23:54,348
Speaker 9: franchise GMS coaches, quarterback coaches, they're enthralled with because my

602
00:23:54,428 --> 00:23:57,388
Speaker 9: guy has played. I'm not having to teach them how

603
00:23:57,428 --> 00:24:00,428
Speaker 9: to read a defense, how to game plan, all the

604
00:24:00,828 --> 00:24:03,828
Speaker 9: selfless elements that it takes to thrive at that craft.

605
00:24:03,868 --> 00:24:06,628
Speaker 9: So fan of those guys, those are my five sleepers.

606
00:24:06,628 --> 00:24:08,628
Speaker 9: There's many more, but those are the fact we roll with.

607
00:24:08,988 --> 00:24:11,508
Speaker 6: It's a great list. Thank you for beings to the table.

608
00:24:12,388 --> 00:24:15,468
Speaker 3: Miami quarterback cam Ward widely expected to be the first

609
00:24:15,548 --> 00:24:18,108
Speaker 3: name called on Thursday when the twenty twenty five NFL

610
00:24:18,188 --> 00:24:20,948
Speaker 3: Draft gets underway. In this edition of First Draft, we

611
00:24:21,028 --> 00:24:23,508
Speaker 3: hear what draft night will mean to him and the

612
00:24:23,588 --> 00:24:29,028
Speaker 3: support that he has received from his parents along the journey.

613
00:24:30,788 --> 00:24:34,548
Speaker 8: Wards always got them ready throws, they delivered a strike.

614
00:24:34,948 --> 00:24:38,028
Speaker 10: Mustage plays a gun slinger, always have been, always will be.

615
00:24:38,388 --> 00:24:40,548
Speaker 9: Ward with an incredible poy.

616
00:24:41,228 --> 00:24:43,628
Speaker 10: You throw from different our English, you learn from the pocket,

617
00:24:43,748 --> 00:24:44,348
Speaker 10: you make it too.

618
00:24:44,388 --> 00:24:46,988
Speaker 5: It makes better touchdown cam Ward.

619
00:24:47,388 --> 00:24:48,868
Speaker 10: And I just think the word that I put in

620
00:24:49,028 --> 00:24:50,988
Speaker 10: just showcases everything diving.

621
00:24:51,628 --> 00:24:53,588
Speaker 6: That is how cam Ward does it.

622
00:24:53,708 --> 00:24:56,268
Speaker 10: It's a hard football journey being a zero star crew.

623
00:24:56,308 --> 00:24:57,668
Speaker 10: Who is talking to it and I'll give.

624
00:24:57,548 --> 00:25:00,108
Speaker 2: Them cam Ward's having himself.

625
00:24:59,748 --> 00:25:09,228
Speaker 10: A day cam Wood quarterback, University of Miami. Growing up

626
00:25:09,268 --> 00:25:12,068
Speaker 10: that was, you know, raised the right way. My parents

627
00:25:12,068 --> 00:25:15,468
Speaker 10: They've always supported me and everything that I do. They

628
00:25:15,588 --> 00:25:17,868
Speaker 10: never missed a game in all my life, especially when

629
00:25:17,908 --> 00:25:20,068
Speaker 10: I got to college and fly to pretty much every

630
00:25:20,108 --> 00:25:23,308
Speaker 10: game once I transferred out of state, whether it was

631
00:25:23,348 --> 00:25:26,388
Speaker 10: in Washington ten hour days having to get to my

632
00:25:26,508 --> 00:25:28,388
Speaker 10: home to come and stay with me before the game

633
00:25:28,868 --> 00:25:32,188
Speaker 10: and then Miami getting on two hour flights, or whether

634
00:25:32,188 --> 00:25:34,508
Speaker 10: we playing in the West Coast or on the East coast,

635
00:25:34,868 --> 00:25:37,428
Speaker 10: doing everything they need to get to my games. They

636
00:25:37,428 --> 00:25:39,508
Speaker 10: will always continue to support me, and I'm forever grateful.

637
00:25:46,148 --> 00:25:48,788
Speaker 10: I don't playing on stopping. I got a lot more

638
00:25:48,868 --> 00:25:50,268
Speaker 10: that you know, I want to accomplish. It in my

639
00:25:50,308 --> 00:25:54,068
Speaker 10: football life. Put my head down every day and keep working.

640
00:25:55,348 --> 00:25:57,108
Speaker 10: Draft night is going to mean the world to me

641
00:25:57,308 --> 00:25:59,148
Speaker 10: because it's been what I've been looking forward to since

642
00:25:59,188 --> 00:26:02,988
Speaker 10: I was six years old. All my hard work than

643
00:26:03,068 --> 00:26:05,388
Speaker 10: myself and my family put into you know, with cher

644
00:26:05,468 --> 00:26:06,788
Speaker 10: set bonus forever.

645
00:26:10,508 --> 00:26:11,908
Speaker 6: A lot of layers to that young man.

646
00:26:11,948 --> 00:26:13,948
Speaker 3: But cam Ward expected to be one of the first,

647
00:26:14,028 --> 00:26:16,148
Speaker 3: if not the first quarterback off the board in the

648
00:26:16,188 --> 00:26:19,828
Speaker 3: draft next week. Will you had to watch him painfully

649
00:26:19,828 --> 00:26:22,228
Speaker 3: at Miami, I would assume in the a sec No, we.

650
00:26:22,188 --> 00:26:25,108
Speaker 4: Did not see him this year, think oh okay, good, but.

651
00:26:25,068 --> 00:26:26,908
Speaker 3: You had to appreciate what he brought to the table.

652
00:26:26,948 --> 00:26:27,828
Speaker 6: What makes him special.

653
00:26:28,268 --> 00:26:32,068
Speaker 4: I just love his aggressive style of quarterback. He mentioned

654
00:26:32,068 --> 00:26:35,028
Speaker 4: that he's a gunslinger, but he's also a gunslinger who

655
00:26:35,068 --> 00:26:37,988
Speaker 4: does not throw many interceptions. He hasn't thrown double digit

656
00:26:38,068 --> 00:26:40,628
Speaker 4: interceptions since twenty twenty one. I know we talked about

657
00:26:40,668 --> 00:26:42,268
Speaker 4: him the show, but I played with a quarterback like

658
00:26:42,308 --> 00:26:44,548
Speaker 4: that and Aaron Rodgers who was a gunslinger, but he

659
00:26:44,548 --> 00:26:47,388
Speaker 4: also protected the football. So whoever gets him, they're going

660
00:26:47,468 --> 00:26:49,908
Speaker 4: to get a player who obviously is aggressive throwing the football,

661
00:26:49,988 --> 00:26:52,788
Speaker 4: makes smart decisions and that's a style of quarterback.

662
00:26:52,868 --> 00:26:55,828
Speaker 6: I like to leave my offense, Johnny, what you got

663
00:26:55,868 --> 00:26:56,428
Speaker 6: on cam Ward?

664
00:26:56,748 --> 00:26:59,828
Speaker 8: I really like cam Ard Man. He is a baller, playmaker.

665
00:26:59,948 --> 00:27:02,588
Speaker 8: As you can see, they're just improvising in the pockets,

666
00:27:02,628 --> 00:27:06,428
Speaker 8: moving around, precision with the ball, putting the ball in

667
00:27:06,468 --> 00:27:09,828
Speaker 8: the right place. Like there's no way this dude does

668
00:27:09,868 --> 00:27:10,908
Speaker 8: not get picked number one.

669
00:27:10,908 --> 00:27:11,308
Speaker 11: Overall.

670
00:27:11,868 --> 00:27:14,228
Speaker 8: I see him as in that tiny uniform right now,

671
00:27:14,268 --> 00:27:17,788
Speaker 8: I can envision it. This dude is he's got the impactor.

672
00:27:17,948 --> 00:27:18,548
Speaker 8: He's got it.

673
00:27:19,388 --> 00:27:23,068
Speaker 2: I could not agree more. Zero offers.

674
00:27:23,068 --> 00:27:25,668
Speaker 9: Coming out of high school, Dad Calvin Colin D three

675
00:27:25,668 --> 00:27:27,788
Speaker 9: schools say, will you take a look at my kid?

676
00:27:28,068 --> 00:27:31,668
Speaker 9: Finds his way to incarnate Ward balls out there, hits

677
00:27:31,668 --> 00:27:34,708
Speaker 9: the portal, could go anywhere. Follows Eric Morris to Washington State,

678
00:27:34,748 --> 00:27:36,668
Speaker 9: who was his head coach at the time, then the

679
00:27:36,668 --> 00:27:37,468
Speaker 9: offensive coordinator.

680
00:27:37,508 --> 00:27:38,468
Speaker 2: Then Eric Morse leaves.

681
00:27:38,548 --> 00:27:40,308
Speaker 9: He could have left again, he said, no, I'm going

682
00:27:40,348 --> 00:27:42,628
Speaker 9: to stay and learn from Ben Rbuckle who's now your

683
00:27:42,868 --> 00:27:45,428
Speaker 9: sooner offensive coordinator, and then finds his way, of course

684
00:27:45,548 --> 00:27:47,588
Speaker 9: with Maria Crista ball in Miami to finish his career

685
00:27:47,788 --> 00:27:50,748
Speaker 9: and thankfully not to play the defense that Blackman was advising.

686
00:27:51,388 --> 00:27:53,668
Speaker 2: But to that point, where is he unique?

687
00:27:54,148 --> 00:27:57,428
Speaker 9: I think that's cliche, but he embodies like the.

688
00:27:57,388 --> 00:27:59,708
Speaker 2: Bee where your feet are. I've been around him a bunch,

689
00:27:59,788 --> 00:28:01,388
Speaker 2: like he is in the moment.

690
00:28:01,508 --> 00:28:03,708
Speaker 9: I thought this quarterback coach yesterday, Daryl Colbert, and he's

691
00:28:03,748 --> 00:28:05,868
Speaker 9: like he's just connect to the moment. He's not worried

692
00:28:05,868 --> 00:28:08,628
Speaker 9: about the draft and the shiny things that come with that,

693
00:28:08,748 --> 00:28:11,028
Speaker 9: Like he just wants to go play. He's always just

694
00:28:11,028 --> 00:28:13,428
Speaker 9: wanted to go compete. And I hit his dad up

695
00:28:13,428 --> 00:28:15,948
Speaker 9: and I was like, whatever you did, can you teach.

696
00:28:15,708 --> 00:28:18,508
Speaker 2: All of us parents, Like how you navigated the humility

697
00:28:18,868 --> 00:28:21,708
Speaker 2: from him? Skill set? You guys both nailed at him.

698
00:28:21,708 --> 00:28:23,148
Speaker 2: He can do a little bit of everything.

699
00:28:23,348 --> 00:28:25,708
Speaker 9: And then I think, finally, like his discernment at quarterback

700
00:28:25,748 --> 00:28:27,788
Speaker 9: has grown, and you watch his tape over the years,

701
00:28:27,948 --> 00:28:29,628
Speaker 9: and then I think he's just grown as a player.

702
00:28:29,748 --> 00:28:32,428
Speaker 9: His mechanics, I really believe, like the limiting factor in

703
00:28:32,428 --> 00:28:33,228
Speaker 9: reaching her potentials.

704
00:28:33,228 --> 00:28:34,788
Speaker 2: Blog mechanics at quarterbacks.

705
00:28:34,948 --> 00:28:37,308
Speaker 9: He goes slotted times early on in his career, his

706
00:28:37,388 --> 00:28:39,788
Speaker 9: speed cleaned up, his timing, his feet are tied to

707
00:28:39,828 --> 00:28:41,788
Speaker 9: his eyes, and you watch him play, whether it's in

708
00:28:41,828 --> 00:28:44,468
Speaker 9: a mudded pocket or where they hear versus you know,

709
00:28:44,508 --> 00:28:46,948
Speaker 9: no defense and shorts and a T shirt. I love

710
00:28:46,988 --> 00:28:48,268
Speaker 9: that for him, and that's why I think he'll go

711
00:28:48,308 --> 00:28:50,308
Speaker 9: to the NFL and be able to have early success

712
00:28:50,428 --> 00:28:53,148
Speaker 9: experience really the mentality of who he's.

713
00:28:52,988 --> 00:28:53,908
Speaker 2: Been and what he's been through.

714
00:28:53,988 --> 00:28:56,428
Speaker 3: And the Titans, if he does go to Tennessee, they've

715
00:28:56,428 --> 00:28:59,348
Speaker 3: been skidding their wheels and just trying to get competent

716
00:28:59,428 --> 00:29:02,228
Speaker 3: quarterback play that works within the system and the market.

717
00:29:02,308 --> 00:29:04,428
Speaker 3: And if this takes I mean, the division that the

718
00:29:04,428 --> 00:29:07,548
Speaker 3: Titans playing is ripe for the taking. The Texans have reemerged,

719
00:29:07,588 --> 00:29:09,548
Speaker 3: but that's only been in the last last two years.

720
00:29:09,788 --> 00:29:11,748
Speaker 3: If they can take over Jacksonville, if they can take

721
00:29:11,788 --> 00:29:13,388
Speaker 3: over the Colts, I almost thought you were Nick Cross

722
00:29:13,428 --> 00:29:14,748
Speaker 3: for a second. I didn't want to insult you, but

723
00:29:15,028 --> 00:29:16,948
Speaker 3: I don't care about insulting. If Nick Cross isn't at

724
00:29:16,948 --> 00:29:18,948
Speaker 3: the table, if the Titans could figure this thing out

725
00:29:18,948 --> 00:29:20,708
Speaker 3: with cam Ward, then it could be a match made

726
00:29:20,748 --> 00:29:23,268
Speaker 3: in heaven for several years to come, especially considering a

727
00:29:23,308 --> 00:29:25,148
Speaker 3: Brian Calla hinted with Joe Burrow when he got to

728
00:29:25,228 --> 00:29:26,108
Speaker 3: the NFL.

729
00:29:26,308 --> 00:29:27,068
Speaker 2: He's going to be a pro.

730
00:29:27,268 --> 00:29:28,308
Speaker 6: He's gonna be up.

731
00:29:28,348 --> 00:29:29,588
Speaker 2: Bro it's like one already.

732
00:29:29,748 --> 00:29:31,908
Speaker 3: There's a lot of guys that that's going to happen

Speaker 4: However, this year at the combine, you describe yourself as

770
00:31:22,948 --> 00:31:25,188
Speaker 4: a disruptor. Can you explain to us what you mean

00:31:25,188 --> 00:31:25,548

Speaker 12: And you know you're gonna have to account for me

777
00:31:34,068 --> 00:31:36,108
Speaker 12: at all times because I will, you know, record offense,

778
00:31:36,188 --> 00:31:40,028
Speaker 12: you know if I'm not so really just being dominant

779
00:31:40,108 --> 00:31:42,708
Speaker 12: and just showing up in the big games is basically

780
00:31:42,708 --> 00:31:43,428
Speaker 12: what I mean when I.

781
00:31:43,388 --> 00:31:46,308

Speaker 2: I agreed.

819
00:33:24,988 --> 00:33:27,268
Speaker 9: So I was calling the spring game a week ago

820
00:33:27,428 --> 00:33:29,588
Speaker 9: and you were there. All your teammates from last year's

821
00:33:29,628 --> 00:33:31,908
Speaker 9: team were there. That's where you got those amazing rings.

822
00:33:32,148 --> 00:33:34,108
Speaker 9: I'm curious for you when you look back on this

823
00:33:34,268 --> 00:33:37,948
Speaker 9: past season it was deemed Natty or bust and then

824
00:33:38,028 --> 00:33:41,788
Speaker 9: you challenge yourselves. I'm sure after that lost to Michigan

825
00:33:41,828 --> 00:33:44,308
Speaker 9: to respond the players only meeting and then you went

826
00:33:44,348 --> 00:33:44,988
Speaker 9: on the run.

827
00:33:44,828 --> 00:33:47,348
Speaker 2: That got you that hardware. What did you learn from

828
00:33:47,348 --> 00:33:47,708
Speaker 2: what you.

829
00:33:47,748 --> 00:33:50,468
Speaker 9: Went through in a season that had so many expectations.

830
00:33:50,868 --> 00:33:54,148
Speaker 12: Yeah, so definitely for us, our message during that run

831
00:33:54,228 --> 00:33:57,268
Speaker 12: was basically, the issues are always there, so address them

832
00:33:57,308 --> 00:33:59,588
Speaker 12: and you know, get them, get them fixed. So that's

833
00:33:59,588 --> 00:34:01,708
Speaker 12: what basically that player meeting was not going to go

834
00:34:01,748 --> 00:34:03,908
Speaker 12: on too many details about it, but just know it

835
00:34:03,948 --> 00:34:06,468
Speaker 12: was a you know, our thirty two hour meeting, just

836
00:34:06,508 --> 00:34:09,228
Speaker 12: the guys in coach Day. You know, we just spilling

837
00:34:09,268 --> 00:34:11,068
Speaker 12: our hearts out because you know we still had a

838
00:34:11,148 --> 00:34:12,508
Speaker 12: chance to you know, go win it.

839
00:34:12,628 --> 00:34:15,308
Speaker 5: Definitely leaving and losing the team up north is you know,

840
00:34:15,428 --> 00:34:17,188
Speaker 5: no idea. You never want that to happen, you know,

841
00:34:17,188 --> 00:34:17,708
Speaker 5: your rival.

842
00:34:17,748 --> 00:34:19,868
Speaker 12: But we knew we still had a season ahead of us,

843
00:34:19,908 --> 00:34:22,108
Speaker 12: and you know, we just ironed out those issues and

844
00:34:22,108 --> 00:34:24,468
Speaker 12: it just took off that Tennessee game, you know, we

845
00:34:24,548 --> 00:34:27,388
Speaker 12: came off firing and kind of kept that momentum throughout

846
00:34:27,388 --> 00:34:29,268
Speaker 12: the playoffs to the Natty.

847
00:34:29,468 --> 00:34:32,868

Speaker 4: back at Boston College, you played under him your entire

849
00:34:35,428 --> 00:34:37,748
Speaker 4: career at Hio State. So a head of the pro day,

850
00:34:37,788 --> 00:34:40,548
Speaker 4: he wrote words about you on social media, words like violent,

851
00:34:40,788 --> 00:34:43,388
Speaker 4: fast twitch, a motor that would carry you in the

852
00:34:43,508 --> 00:34:46,548
Speaker 4: NFL for a long time. Can you describe your relationship

853
00:34:46,548 --> 00:34:48,988
Speaker 4: with coach Day and how he has helped you prepare

854
00:34:49,028 --> 00:34:49,748
Speaker 4: for the next level.

855
00:34:50,028 --> 00:34:52,668
Speaker 12: Yeah, my relationship with coach Daves, you know, that's just

856
00:34:52,748 --> 00:34:55,708
Speaker 12: that's he's a player's touch. So I love that guy

857
00:34:55,788 --> 00:34:57,948
Speaker 12: to death. Man, he brought me in. You know, a

858
00:34:58,068 --> 00:35:00,628
Speaker 12: kid came in overweight. You know, he basically stood by

00:35:00,628 --> 00:35:03,188
Speaker 12: my side while you know, I grew and developed into

860
00:35:03,228 --> 00:35:05,428
Speaker 12: you know who I am today. You know, fast, the violent,

861
00:35:05,628 --> 00:35:08,268
Speaker 12: the twitchy player. You know, that's all to my coaches.

862
00:35:08,468 --> 00:35:11,388
Speaker 12: I just came in as an athletic kid and learned

863
00:35:11,388 --> 00:35:14,468
Speaker 12: everything from him. Coach Jay, coach you knows, you know,

864
00:35:14,548 --> 00:35:17,268
Speaker 12: just all the coaches there, just we all had great relationships.

869
00:35:27,868 --> 00:35:30,308
Speaker 3: guys to go against on the field. However, it doesn't

Speaker 12: Basically we had two cats and it kind of grew

890
00:36:12,308 --> 00:36:14,628

00:36:54,228 --> 00:36:56,828
Speaker 12: I would say all the coaches at Ohio State basically

908
00:36:57,108 --> 00:36:58,828
Speaker 12: put together a plan for us to talk to you know,

909
00:36:58,988 --> 00:37:01,708
Speaker 12: former NFL guys God still in the NFL, you know

Speaker 12: sponge talk to all these people learning because you know,

912
00:37:06,108 --> 00:37:08,508
Speaker 12: they've been through it before, they've seen what it's like,

913
00:37:08,588 --> 00:37:10,468
Speaker 12: and just try to take that knowledge and you know,

914
00:37:10,988 --> 00:37:13,068
Speaker 12: build it to get like better as soon as you

915
00:37:13,068 --> 00:37:15,668
Speaker 12: get there. It was definitely different than college, so got

916
00:37:15,708 --> 00:37:17,188
Speaker 12: to get ready for it. And these guys have been

917
00:37:17,188 --> 00:37:19,108

918
00:37:19,268 --> 00:37:21,828
Speaker 3: Tyler Williams, You're an absolute force to be reckoned with.

919
00:37:21,748 --> 00:37:23,468
Speaker 6: In the NFL. Good luck, stay healthy.

920
00:37:23,508 --> 00:37:26,348
Speaker 3: We appreciate you coming on GMFB and congratulations on all

921
00:37:26,388 --> 00:37:28,348
Speaker 3: the success that you've had, but we know that more

922
00:37:28,388 --> 00:37:29,068
Speaker 3: will come your way.

923
00:37:29,188 --> 00:37:29,868
Speaker 5: Appreciate pad.

924
00:37:31,868 --> 00:37:33,868
Speaker 3: For the first time in NFL history, a team will

925
00:37:33,868 --> 00:37:36,908
Speaker 3: take their draft Operations to a fire station when the

926
00:37:36,988 --> 00:37:41,028
Speaker 3: Rams draft from the LA Fire Department Air Operations with

927
00:37:41,108 --> 00:37:43,988
Speaker 3: support from Zillo, the RAMS and LAFD will convert a

928
00:37:44,068 --> 00:37:48,388
Speaker 3: room within LAFD AIR Operations to serve as general manager,

929
00:37:48,468 --> 00:37:52,388
Speaker 3: Less Need and head coach Sean mcbay's draft headquarters, as

930
00:37:52,428 --> 00:37:56,428
Speaker 3: well as an adjacent hangar to serve as space for coaches, scouts,

931
00:37:56,428 --> 00:37:58,388
Speaker 3: and team personnel. So when you see the shot of

932
00:37:58,388 --> 00:38:01,988
Speaker 3: the Rams deciding no, it is an homage to LAFD.

933
00:38:02,228 --> 00:38:06,628
Speaker 3: LAFD Air Operations will be fully optional during the NFL Draft.

934
00:38:06,948 --> 00:38:09,868
Speaker 3: That is a very efficient unit. That is incredible.

935
00:38:09,908 --> 00:38:10,788
Speaker 6: Well done. Rams.

936
00:38:11,068 --> 00:38:13,148

Speaker 6: Move the Sticks.

944
00:38:29,948 --> 00:38:32,668
Speaker 11: Obviously, the expectations that he's had, you know, throughout his

945
00:38:32,668 --> 00:38:35,948
Speaker 11: college career, and then taking Colorado.

Speaker 2: To new heights like that.

947
00:38:36,868 --> 00:38:38,268
Speaker 5: You know that's not easy.

948
00:38:37,988 --> 00:38:39,908
Speaker 11: The knock is a little bit of the arm strength

949
00:38:40,108 --> 00:38:42,308
Speaker 11: and then you know, holding the ball took a lot

950
00:38:42,308 --> 00:38:44,508
Speaker 11: of sacks with my experience of playing, Like if I

951
00:38:44,548 --> 00:38:46,748
Speaker 11: can show my guys you know that I can get

952
00:38:46,828 --> 00:38:48,868
Speaker 11: hit and then keep going, that just shows a lot

953
00:38:48,908 --> 00:38:51,468
Speaker 11: about you know, your leadership and just being able to

954
00:38:51,548 --> 00:38:53,828
Speaker 11: learn to get the ball out, play within the timing

955
00:38:53,868 --> 00:38:56,028
Speaker 11: of the offense and concepts. I think those are things

956
00:38:56,028 --> 00:38:58,028
Speaker 11: that he has and will continue.

957
00:38:57,708 --> 00:38:59,188
Speaker 5: To learn and develop, no doubt.

958
00:39:01,348 --> 00:39:03,468
Speaker 3: All right, check that stuff out. I'll move the sticks.

959
00:39:03,468 --> 00:39:06,068
Speaker 3: And as we prepare for the NFL Draft, we are

960
00:39:06,148 --> 00:39:09,468
Speaker 3: constantly watching footage back of great college football games from

961
00:39:09,508 --> 00:39:12,148
Speaker 3: last year. But there is an absolute legend in college

962
00:39:12,148 --> 00:39:15,228
Speaker 3: football that made a big time announcement yesterday when Lee

963
00:39:15,308 --> 00:39:18,988
Speaker 3: Corso has decided to call it a career. At longtime

964
00:39:19,308 --> 00:39:23,308
Speaker 3: ESPN broadcaster has spent nearly forty years on the set

965
00:39:23,348 --> 00:39:26,988
Speaker 3: of College Game Day, entertaining US, enlightening us, educating us,

966
00:39:27,188 --> 00:39:29,868
Speaker 3: and Week one of the twenty twenty five college football

967
00:39:29,868 --> 00:39:31,628
Speaker 3: season will be the final time you.

968
00:39:31,628 --> 00:39:32,788
Speaker 6: Will hear from Lee Corso.

969
00:39:33,028 --> 00:39:36,068
Speaker 3: But also you will see that famous moment every single

970
00:39:36,108 --> 00:39:38,548
Speaker 3: week where he gets to pick the mascot the head

971
00:39:38,788 --> 00:39:41,108
Speaker 3: he puts it on, and his colleague Genes Davis was

972
00:39:41,148 --> 00:39:42,948
Speaker 3: on an interview with CNN last night where he said,

973
00:39:42,948 --> 00:39:46,348
Speaker 3: I will tackle anybody who tries to put on that mascot.

974
00:39:46,388 --> 00:39:49,388
Speaker 3: That is Lee Corso's signature moment, and it will go

975
00:39:49,468 --> 00:39:51,948
Speaker 3: with him when he decides to retire. So, Lee Corso

976
00:39:52,348 --> 00:39:55,868
Speaker 3: somebody who we all know love seeing on game day. Now,

977
00:39:55,908 --> 00:39:58,908
Speaker 3: my overlap with Lee Corso from the college football space is,

978
00:39:59,188 --> 00:40:01,908
Speaker 3: you know, there's a lot of competition in TV for eyeballs,

979
00:40:01,948 --> 00:40:04,348
Speaker 3: and when you have a great game on any given weekend,

980
00:40:04,388 --> 00:40:04,988
Speaker 3: and you're very.

981
00:40:04,828 --> 00:40:05,468
Speaker 6: Possessive of it.

982
00:40:05,508 --> 00:40:07,348
Speaker 3: So the SEC and CBS always had a great game,

983
00:40:07,348 --> 00:40:09,548
Speaker 3: at least when I was there game day. Whenever they

984
00:40:09,548 --> 00:40:11,308
Speaker 3: decided to show up in the town that we had

985
00:40:11,308 --> 00:40:13,028
Speaker 3: the game, that means that the game day guys were

986
00:40:13,028 --> 00:40:16,188
Speaker 3: in town and the SEC guys were in town. Lee Corso,

987
00:40:16,308 --> 00:40:19,148
Speaker 3: even though their show was done, would stay and jog

988
00:40:19,548 --> 00:40:23,068
Speaker 3: from the forty to the forty the entire time.

989
00:40:23,148 --> 00:40:24,268
Speaker 6: On a half, he would pick.

990
00:40:24,148 --> 00:40:26,068
Speaker 3: Alabama's half and there he'd be up and down the

991
00:40:26,068 --> 00:40:27,788
Speaker 3: field jogging because he wants to see the line of

992
00:40:27,828 --> 00:40:30,108
Speaker 3: scrimmage from this side and that side. And I always

993
00:40:30,148 --> 00:40:31,988
Speaker 3: just loved his dedication to the game, because a lot

994
00:40:32,028 --> 00:40:34,188
Speaker 3: of those guys boom private jet out of the city. No,

995
00:40:34,348 --> 00:40:36,068
Speaker 3: Lee Corso stays and wants to watch the game.

996
00:40:36,188 --> 00:40:38,148
Speaker 9: Not surprised, but that story at all. I met him

997
00:40:38,148 --> 00:40:39,948
Speaker 9: in the early two thousands game. They came to pit

998
00:40:39,988 --> 00:40:42,188
Speaker 9: where I was playing, and a guy named Michael Fountain

999
00:40:42,228 --> 00:40:43,908
Speaker 9: was the producer, said come on check out the set.

1000
00:40:44,108 --> 00:40:46,068
Speaker 9: And I came and there's Leek Corso just hanging out

1001
00:40:46,228 --> 00:40:49,268
Speaker 9: and endearing himself to a form of a player, to

1002
00:40:49,508 --> 00:40:51,628
Speaker 9: the entire staff, to of course the people that are

1003
00:40:51,668 --> 00:40:53,508
Speaker 9: on air. But you just saw, like what we see

1004
00:40:53,548 --> 00:40:55,948
Speaker 9: on air, what we fall in love with, was reality everywhere.

1005
00:40:55,948 --> 00:40:57,628
Speaker 2: He's been that way for over forty years.

1006
00:40:57,788 --> 00:41:00,108
Speaker 9: I love that he's being showered with so much praise

1007
00:41:00,428 --> 00:41:01,308
Speaker 9: right now in his career.

1008
00:41:01,668 --> 00:41:01,868
Speaker 5: Yeah.

1009
00:41:01,908 --> 00:41:04,308
Speaker 4: I just loved the big moments, you know, like this

1010
00:41:04,468 --> 00:41:06,988
Speaker 4: such a you know, sports talk show. But I'm waiting

1011
00:41:07,028 --> 00:41:09,268
Speaker 4: for the reveal. And I had the pleasure of him

1012
00:41:09,308 --> 00:41:11,228
Speaker 4: coming to one of our games. I believe we were

1013
00:41:11,228 --> 00:41:14,148
Speaker 4: playing Florida State my senior year at Boston College and

1014
00:41:14,228 --> 00:41:16,268
Speaker 4: just waiting for that. He did not pick us, okay,

1015
00:41:16,588 --> 00:41:18,348
Speaker 4: but we had a chance, so I remember those.

1016
00:41:18,268 --> 00:41:21,988
Speaker 3: Days, not only like the visual of when it actually

1017
00:41:22,068 --> 00:41:24,468
Speaker 3: happens on game day when he picks the mascothead, but

1018
00:41:24,508 --> 00:41:28,668
Speaker 3: the still images of everyone like it's like the best.

1019
00:41:28,588 --> 00:41:32,388
Speaker 2: It's absolute best.

1020
00:41:32,788 --> 00:41:33,508
Speaker 6: Oh my gosh.

1021
00:41:33,628 --> 00:41:36,308
Speaker 3: I love that Lee Corso and everything that ESPN has

1022
00:41:36,348 --> 00:41:38,348
Speaker 3: done for college gave day and made it an absolute

1023
00:41:38,388 --> 00:41:41,668
Speaker 3: institution and sensation. And one more game for Lee Corso

1024
00:41:41,788 --> 00:41:43,948
Speaker 3: next season, twenty twenty five college football season.

1025
00:41:44,388 --> 00:41:45,308
Speaker 6: We love you, Lee Corso.
