00:00:32,360 --> 00:00:36,560
Speaker 1: Alabama and the Reesa Senior Bowl. I'm Amy Wells, Mac

7
00:00:36,680 --> 00:00:39,240
Speaker 1: is here, Red is here, Ramona is here. We're all here,

8
00:00:39,640 --> 00:00:42,760
Speaker 1: and we are wrapping things up from the Senior Bowl.

9
00:00:42,800 --> 00:00:45,600
Speaker 1: That's right, folks. Our time here has come to an end.

10
00:00:46,240 --> 00:00:48,639
Speaker 1: We are heading back to Nashville. But there are some

11
00:00:48,680 --> 00:00:51,000
Speaker 1: things that we need to put a bow on because

12
00:00:51,000 --> 00:00:53,320
Speaker 1: a lot has happened. We have seen a lot of

13
00:00:53,360 --> 00:00:57,480
Speaker 1: football since we have been here, and so I want

14
00:00:57,520 --> 00:00:59,640
Speaker 1: to break some of it down, and I think the

15
00:00:59,720 --> 00:01:03,040
Speaker 1: best the best place to start is the quarterbacks, because

16
00:01:03,120 --> 00:01:06,040
Speaker 1: earlier in the week we were reluctant to talk about

17
00:01:06,040 --> 00:01:08,880
Speaker 1: the quarterbacks because they hadn't really gotten their feet on

18
00:01:08,920 --> 00:01:11,600
Speaker 1: the ground yet, and we hadn't seen them in pads,

19
00:01:11,640 --> 00:01:14,399
Speaker 1: and there were a lot of different things that we

20
00:01:14,480 --> 00:01:18,880
Speaker 1: wanted to let them get acclimated to before we made

21
00:01:18,959 --> 00:01:23,400
Speaker 1: any sort of judgments. Or evaluations. So Mac, I'm going

22
00:01:23,440 --> 00:01:26,600
Speaker 1: to start with you. Did you watch the quarterbacks at

23
00:01:26,600 --> 00:01:27,640
Speaker 1: all and what did you notice?

24
00:01:27,720 --> 00:01:30,400
Speaker 2: Yeah, I watch them completely for one full day, and

25
00:01:30,440 --> 00:01:33,400
Speaker 2: it's you always do this because these guys, the quarterbacks

26
00:01:33,400 --> 00:01:37,600
Speaker 2: that come in here, there's two things. First of all,

27
00:01:38,319 --> 00:01:42,760
Speaker 2: they get a lot of information that it's just different

28
00:01:42,760 --> 00:01:45,280
Speaker 2: from what they've ever had. And Plus, a lot of

29
00:01:45,319 --> 00:01:47,639
Speaker 2: these guys have played in the shotgun their entire career.

30
00:01:47,960 --> 00:01:50,720
Speaker 2: They're asked to go under center and then the route

31
00:01:50,760 --> 00:01:55,040
Speaker 2: structure is completely different, and so you don't ever give

32
00:01:55,080 --> 00:01:57,080
Speaker 2: them a you don't give them an ie and it's

33
00:01:57,120 --> 00:02:00,160
Speaker 2: an evaluation on the first day. Now, once they're in

34
00:02:00,160 --> 00:02:01,880
Speaker 2: to it and you can see them start getting more

35
00:02:01,880 --> 00:02:05,920
Speaker 2: acclimated to what's going on mentally around them, then that's

36
00:02:05,920 --> 00:02:08,639
Speaker 2: when you start. So yes, and you could tell as

37
00:02:08,680 --> 00:02:13,560
Speaker 2: the as the days progressed, there was more seven on seven,

38
00:02:14,040 --> 00:02:17,880
Speaker 2: there was more throwing in team, and then both teams

39
00:02:18,080 --> 00:02:20,560
Speaker 2: did a lot of what we call redline drills where

40
00:02:20,560 --> 00:02:22,680
Speaker 2: they were throwing the deep balls. They were throwing the

41
00:02:22,680 --> 00:02:26,320
Speaker 2: deep balls both to begin practice, throwing deep balls in

42
00:02:26,360 --> 00:02:29,639
Speaker 2: the middle of practice, and then they both teams also

43
00:02:29,840 --> 00:02:33,280
Speaker 2: extended their one on ones extended their one on ones,

44
00:02:33,760 --> 00:02:37,400
Speaker 2: and you know, I was asked and now by people said, well,

45
00:02:37,400 --> 00:02:39,200
Speaker 2: why would they why would they have Jackson Dart and

46
00:02:39,240 --> 00:02:42,880
Speaker 2: Taylor millburllere on the same team, Because scouts and coaches

47
00:02:42,919 --> 00:02:46,919
Speaker 2: want to see them throwing alternating against each other. That's

48
00:02:46,919 --> 00:02:49,040
Speaker 2: what they want to that's what they side by side,

49
00:02:49,360 --> 00:02:51,120
Speaker 2: that's that's what they want to do. And it's not

50
00:02:52,160 --> 00:02:55,040
Speaker 2: I mean, you try to even out the team's number wise,

51
00:02:55,120 --> 00:02:56,799
Speaker 2: but I mean that's what that's why they want to

52
00:02:56,840 --> 00:02:59,560
Speaker 2: see that. Anytime you've got two kind of quarterbacks that

53
00:02:59,600 --> 00:03:01,760
Speaker 2: are at the at the top of the pile, that's

54
00:03:01,760 --> 00:03:03,600
Speaker 2: why that's what you do. You try to you try

55
00:03:03,639 --> 00:03:05,960
Speaker 2: to move him just so they can throw side by side,

56
00:03:06,040 --> 00:03:08,560
Speaker 2: same throws, same timeframe, all of that.

57
00:03:08,520 --> 00:03:11,120
Speaker 3: Stuff in one time. So he saw him, you saw

58
00:03:11,160 --> 00:03:11,840
Speaker 3: him do all of that.

59
00:03:11,919 --> 00:03:14,640
Speaker 2: They both got more comfortable with what they were doing,

60
00:03:16,400 --> 00:03:19,480
Speaker 2: just like they always have. I mean, that's the path

61
00:03:19,520 --> 00:03:21,400
Speaker 2: for quarterbacks in this league.

62
00:03:21,480 --> 00:03:23,840
Speaker 1: RTT. Was there anybody who's stuck out to you in

63
00:03:23,880 --> 00:03:24,400
Speaker 1: that group?

64
00:03:25,080 --> 00:03:27,640
Speaker 4: I think as the week progressed, Jackson Dart from Ole

65
00:03:27,720 --> 00:03:29,800
Speaker 4: miss is the one I think that has the most

66
00:03:29,919 --> 00:03:32,480
Speaker 4: to gain out of this group, I would say Riley

67
00:03:32,560 --> 00:03:35,560
Speaker 4: Leonard from Notre Dame probably and certainly coming off of

68
00:03:36,160 --> 00:03:38,720
Speaker 4: National Championship game. And then a couple of the other

69
00:03:38,720 --> 00:03:42,160
Speaker 4: guys that were a little steadier from start to finish,

70
00:03:42,240 --> 00:03:47,320
Speaker 4: Tyler Schuck from Louisville and Seth Hennigan from Memphis all

71
00:03:47,360 --> 00:03:49,480
Speaker 4: made some nice plays in this but I think Jackson

72
00:03:49,560 --> 00:03:51,760
Speaker 4: Dart is the one out of this group. And the

73
00:03:51,840 --> 00:03:55,160
Speaker 4: only reason I haven't mentioned Dylan Gabriel is because we

74
00:03:55,240 --> 00:03:58,120
Speaker 4: realized just exactly how small Dylan Gabriel is and I

75
00:03:58,120 --> 00:04:00,960
Speaker 4: don't know how I don't know how much that translates.

76
00:04:01,000 --> 00:04:02,640
Speaker 4: We're gonna figure that out, Ramon.

77
00:04:02,960 --> 00:04:05,840
Speaker 1: One of the things that was a big topic of

78
00:04:05,880 --> 00:04:09,440
Speaker 1: conversation throughout the week is there's a ton of running backs. Yeah,

79
00:04:09,480 --> 00:04:12,080
Speaker 1: there's just a lot of them. Was there anybody who

80
00:04:12,120 --> 00:04:15,400
Speaker 1: you feel kind of separated themselves from the pack this week?

81
00:04:15,600 --> 00:04:18,880
Speaker 5: More than likely the SMU running back. Rhett called him

82
00:04:18,880 --> 00:04:22,800
Speaker 5: out yesterday. He has some flashes throughout the day, but

83
00:04:22,880 --> 00:04:25,240
Speaker 5: of course I didn't pay attention to them fully. I

84
00:04:25,320 --> 00:04:27,520
Speaker 5: was more looking at the quarterbacks and wide receivers for

85
00:04:27,560 --> 00:04:29,880
Speaker 5: the most part, but just looking at the way the

86
00:04:29,920 --> 00:04:34,120
Speaker 5: speed that they're running back from SMU just completely could

87
00:04:34,120 --> 00:04:35,920
Speaker 5: move away from guys, you know, if he got speed

88
00:04:35,960 --> 00:04:37,880
Speaker 5: like that. He's trained himself in a wide receiver role.

89
00:04:38,080 --> 00:04:40,360
Speaker 5: And in today's world, as far as being a running back,

90
00:04:40,600 --> 00:04:43,120
Speaker 5: you can't just tote the ball. I mean, Saquon and

91
00:04:43,160 --> 00:04:45,520
Speaker 5: Derek Heriet in that world. But for the most part,

92
00:04:45,640 --> 00:04:48,599
Speaker 5: you gotta have a toolbox of weapons. And that's just

93
00:04:48,920 --> 00:04:51,560
Speaker 5: in Betwined Taxles hitting the edges, which he did and

94
00:04:51,640 --> 00:04:54,280
Speaker 5: also being able to catch the ball out of the backfield. Well,

95
00:04:54,320 --> 00:04:57,039
Speaker 5: we're learning right now looking at the college game, a

96
00:04:57,040 --> 00:04:59,640
Speaker 5: lot of these offenses are within five yards of the

97
00:04:59,640 --> 00:05:02,000
Speaker 5: line of Grimace and that might mean throwing the wheel

98
00:05:02,080 --> 00:05:04,280
Speaker 5: route to the running back and putting him at a

99
00:05:04,279 --> 00:05:06,960
Speaker 5: disadvantage against a linebacker. That's what you saw outed a

100
00:05:06,960 --> 00:05:09,680
Speaker 5: guy like him. So he's one and particularly I kind

101
00:05:09,680 --> 00:05:11,560
Speaker 5: of peeked my eyes a little bit also when Rett

102
00:05:11,560 --> 00:05:12,120
Speaker 5: pointed him out.

103
00:05:12,160 --> 00:05:15,280
Speaker 4: Yeah, he's talking about Berchhard Smith and Burshard Smith is

104
00:05:15,279 --> 00:05:19,000
Speaker 4: a Miami kid, went and played for the Hurricanes, was

105
00:05:19,040 --> 00:05:22,599
Speaker 4: a three year wide receiver converted to running back. Went

106
00:05:22,760 --> 00:05:26,760
Speaker 4: his last year of eligibility to SMU, where he absolutely

107
00:05:27,560 --> 00:05:31,240
Speaker 4: took that to task over thirteen hundred yards rushing another

108
00:05:31,320 --> 00:05:33,559
Speaker 4: three hundred change out of the backfield as a receiver.

109
00:05:33,640 --> 00:05:36,520
Speaker 4: So the receiver part of him is there and he's

110
00:05:36,600 --> 00:05:39,120
Speaker 4: learning the running back part and I think it certainly

111
00:05:39,200 --> 00:05:42,200
Speaker 4: has the explosion. But yeah, he's somebody that you should

112
00:05:42,200 --> 00:05:43,040
Speaker 4: definitely keep your eye out.

113
00:05:43,120 --> 00:05:46,520
Speaker 5: That's fascinating, though, rep because most times a wide receiver

114
00:05:46,600 --> 00:05:48,520
Speaker 5: going to running back is one of those situations where

115
00:05:48,520 --> 00:05:50,799
Speaker 5: you ask yourself, is he feelsical enough to play the position.

116
00:05:51,240 --> 00:05:53,560
Speaker 5: He's shown that, but of course you catch him in space,

117
00:05:53,800 --> 00:05:56,440
Speaker 5: that's especially like you better have your head on the

118
00:05:56,440 --> 00:05:58,159
Speaker 5: swolve and you bet also have some burners on your

119
00:05:58,200 --> 00:05:59,640
Speaker 5: feet to catch up to a guy like him.

120
00:06:00,120 --> 00:06:03,480
Speaker 2: Two more running backs, because I think these guys kind

121
00:06:03,480 --> 00:06:07,560
Speaker 2: of kind of started out strong and stayed strong is R. J.

122
00:06:07,760 --> 00:06:10,880
Speaker 2: Harvey from University of Central Florida. I liked him, and

123
00:06:10,920 --> 00:06:14,520
Speaker 2: then Trevor Attien. Trevor atiend was was solid from start

124
00:06:14,560 --> 00:06:15,320
Speaker 2: to finish.

125
00:06:15,400 --> 00:06:18,000
Speaker 1: All right, Ramon, because you said that you had your

126
00:06:18,040 --> 00:06:20,440
Speaker 1: eye on the wide receivers, you now get to tell

127
00:06:20,480 --> 00:06:23,480
Speaker 1: me about some of your favorite wide receivers throughout the week.

128
00:06:24,000 --> 00:06:26,640
Speaker 5: I got a starting It's not because he's on his

129
00:06:26,760 --> 00:06:32,880
Speaker 5: broadcast with this, okay, is not but TCU's frog.

130
00:06:33,560 --> 00:06:34,040
Speaker 3: Okay.

131
00:06:34,480 --> 00:06:39,039
Speaker 5: Jack Besh followed up with multiple days of good work.

132
00:06:39,160 --> 00:06:41,920
Speaker 5: You saw him at contested catches, you saw him going

133
00:06:41,960 --> 00:06:43,960
Speaker 5: across the field, you saw him down the field.

134
00:06:44,200 --> 00:06:46,279
Speaker 3: He did everything that you needed him to do.

135
00:06:46,600 --> 00:06:52,000
Speaker 5: Another one ore against Tesz Johnson always found himself open.

136
00:06:52,279 --> 00:06:55,279
Speaker 5: I know Ret and coach Mack brought up brought up

137
00:06:55,279 --> 00:06:59,960
Speaker 5: the Louisville quarterback Tyler Shuck. He found him consistently throughout

138
00:07:00,080 --> 00:07:02,320
Speaker 5: the course of these practices. He just one of those

139
00:07:02,520 --> 00:07:05,080
Speaker 5: situations you find yourself and said, why is he always open?

140
00:07:05,320 --> 00:07:08,320
Speaker 5: And then another one, of course is is Illinois Pat Bryant.

141
00:07:08,839 --> 00:07:10,400
Speaker 3: He is precise.

142
00:07:10,480 --> 00:07:12,240
Speaker 5: He's bigger than I thought seeing him on the field

143
00:07:12,240 --> 00:07:14,440
Speaker 5: compared to other players out there. And he can get

144
00:07:14,480 --> 00:07:16,680
Speaker 5: down the field. He was really good catching the ball

145
00:07:16,680 --> 00:07:19,680
Speaker 5: over his shoulder. His separation was good. So those are

146
00:07:19,720 --> 00:07:23,080
Speaker 5: guys I enjoyed watching over the course of this Senior Bowl,

147
00:07:23,120 --> 00:07:25,680
Speaker 5: and I think helped themselves or at least solidify that

148
00:07:25,760 --> 00:07:27,320
Speaker 5: they are who we thought they were in this pre

149
00:07:27,440 --> 00:07:28,720
Speaker 5: draft process.

150
00:07:29,240 --> 00:07:32,280
Speaker 1: Ratt, what about you, anybody's separate themselves from the pack.

151
00:07:32,440 --> 00:07:35,400
Speaker 4: Well, he's right about test Johnson. Tes Johnson's smaller receiver

152
00:07:36,920 --> 00:07:39,480
Speaker 4: reminiscent of a Tank Dell that we've seen here at

153
00:07:39,520 --> 00:07:41,760
Speaker 4: the Senior Bowl, the same kind of build and frame.

154
00:07:42,240 --> 00:07:46,520
Speaker 4: He's a little bigger than Tank Dell. But yeah, Jaden

155
00:07:46,600 --> 00:07:50,160
Speaker 4: Higgins from Iowa State is another big receiver that is

156
00:07:50,200 --> 00:07:53,520
Speaker 4: over six to two hundred pounds, and you know it's

157
00:07:53,640 --> 00:07:57,920
Speaker 4: one of those bigger receivers in this And Matt arian

158
00:07:58,040 --> 00:08:00,960
Speaker 4: Smith from Georgia is a guy that really started to

159
00:08:01,080 --> 00:08:04,200
Speaker 4: build in the middle of the week going towards this game.

160
00:08:05,160 --> 00:08:08,200
Speaker 4: And no surprise that you know, a Southeastern Conference receiver

161
00:08:08,960 --> 00:08:11,600
Speaker 4: from a program like that is actually pretty good when

162
00:08:11,600 --> 00:08:14,280
Speaker 4: he shows up against these other guys. But and jam

163
00:08:14,280 --> 00:08:18,200
Speaker 4: Mary dk from Florida, Uh, that's another guy who's been

164
00:08:18,240 --> 00:08:21,720
Speaker 4: in a big program and started to flash a little

165
00:08:21,760 --> 00:08:24,040
Speaker 4: bit here. But Arian Smith is the guy from Georgia

166
00:08:24,080 --> 00:08:26,720
Speaker 4: that was pulling away from guys easy because he was

167
00:08:27,280 --> 00:08:30,280
Speaker 4: He was a Florida state track title winner in high

168
00:08:30,320 --> 00:08:32,320
Speaker 4: school in one hundred and two hundred meters and it

169
00:08:32,360 --> 00:08:32,840
Speaker 4: showed up.

170
00:08:32,920 --> 00:08:36,960
Speaker 2: Tez has got Tank Dell to thank Yeah, because Tank Dell,

171
00:08:37,520 --> 00:08:41,040
Speaker 2: if you remember just a backtrack to last year at

172
00:08:41,040 --> 00:08:43,440
Speaker 2: the Senior Bowl, when when he came in, everybody was

173
00:08:43,440 --> 00:08:46,400
Speaker 2: a little bit reticent because we know how small he is.

174
00:08:46,760 --> 00:08:50,280
Speaker 2: But all he was doing was getting open. And Tz

175
00:08:50,360 --> 00:08:52,840
Speaker 2: is a little bit bigger than Tank Dell, but he's

176
00:08:52,840 --> 00:08:56,400
Speaker 2: got the same gidget gadget make you miss in a

177
00:08:56,440 --> 00:08:59,640
Speaker 2: short area and a really quick accelerator. So he can

178
00:08:59,640 --> 00:09:01,640
Speaker 2: thank Ain't Dell for their attention on him.

179
00:09:01,800 --> 00:09:04,880
Speaker 5: I'm a little hesitant to give a critique on one

180
00:09:04,880 --> 00:09:07,840
Speaker 5: particular guy because I've seen guys be this way in practice.

181
00:09:08,080 --> 00:09:12,679
Speaker 5: And that's Miami's leading career leaving receiver, Xavier or Restrepo.

182
00:09:13,480 --> 00:09:15,320
Speaker 5: I try to follow the name sometimes to see if

183
00:09:15,320 --> 00:09:17,560
Speaker 5: they live up to it. Now, here's what I also know.

184
00:09:17,640 --> 00:09:20,400
Speaker 5: Some guys are just aren't great practice guys. Okay, you

185
00:09:20,480 --> 00:09:23,400
Speaker 5: turn the lights on and they turn into different players.

186
00:09:23,440 --> 00:09:25,360
Speaker 5: I've seen it over the course of my career. Because

187
00:09:25,440 --> 00:09:27,120
Speaker 5: here's the thing I know about him. He's played a

188
00:09:27,160 --> 00:09:29,360
Speaker 5: lot of Miami, He's called a lot of footballs, He's

189
00:09:29,360 --> 00:09:31,520
Speaker 5: got a lot of yards under his belt. Also, I

190
00:09:31,559 --> 00:09:34,120
Speaker 5: didn't think he had these strongest showing in this Senior

191
00:09:34,160 --> 00:09:38,240
Speaker 5: Bowl this Senior Bowl week, but his production his tape

192
00:09:38,320 --> 00:09:40,320
Speaker 5: is one of those things that you gotta follow and

193
00:09:40,400 --> 00:09:42,480
Speaker 5: maybe you know how this pre draft goes talk to

194
00:09:42,520 --> 00:09:45,480
Speaker 5: his coaches, have some conversations and say, hey, is just

195
00:09:45,520 --> 00:09:47,880
Speaker 5: not a good practice player, you know. Or it's also

196
00:09:47,960 --> 00:09:50,679
Speaker 5: the side of its difference of quarterbacks too. He played

197
00:09:50,679 --> 00:09:52,400
Speaker 5: for guy that was in the Heisman race as far

198
00:09:52,400 --> 00:09:54,960
Speaker 5: as camp war go, so that could also play a

199
00:09:54,960 --> 00:09:57,480
Speaker 5: part in it. This is what this process is all about,

200
00:09:57,480 --> 00:09:59,400
Speaker 5: finding everything you can out.

201
00:09:59,200 --> 00:10:00,280
Speaker 3: About these guys.

202
00:10:00,679 --> 00:10:03,679
Speaker 1: So we've heard all about the pass rushers that are here,

203
00:10:03,720 --> 00:10:06,839
Speaker 1: and what a great group of pass rushers we have, Rhett,

204
00:10:06,880 --> 00:10:10,439
Speaker 1: do you feel as though they were as advertised after

205
00:10:10,480 --> 00:10:11,840
Speaker 1: seeing the work they put in this week?

206
00:10:12,000 --> 00:10:15,400
Speaker 4: Well, it didn't start off that way. The old line

207
00:10:15,440 --> 00:10:17,240
Speaker 4: had the best of them to start the week out,

208
00:10:17,320 --> 00:10:20,400
Speaker 4: but certainly they kind of even the score a little

209
00:10:20,400 --> 00:10:23,000
Speaker 4: bit with that, including a guy that we had here

210
00:10:23,000 --> 00:10:26,320
Speaker 4: on the OTP with Mike Green from Marshall, a former

211
00:10:26,480 --> 00:10:29,920
Speaker 4: Virginia Cavalier who transferred to Marshall and was the sack

212
00:10:30,040 --> 00:10:33,600
Speaker 4: leader in college football last year with seventeen quarterback sacks.

213
00:10:33,800 --> 00:10:38,319
Speaker 4: Big Land and Jackson from Arkansas is certainly someone there.

214
00:10:38,679 --> 00:10:42,000
Speaker 4: Donovan Azarak, who from Boston College who had sixteen and

215
00:10:42,040 --> 00:10:44,920
Speaker 4: a half Sacks in twenty twenty four himself, and there's

216
00:10:44,960 --> 00:10:47,400
Speaker 4: other guys. I mean, I'm sure you guys have some

217
00:10:47,760 --> 00:10:50,960
Speaker 4: prospects too, but this thing was rich in edge Rusher's

218
00:10:51,000 --> 00:10:52,400
Speaker 4: and d line in particular.

219
00:10:52,520 --> 00:10:54,920
Speaker 5: It was I think the first day we saw fuel

220
00:10:54,920 --> 00:10:57,800
Speaker 5: of these guys, like Rhett said, they had to back

221
00:10:57,840 --> 00:11:00,520
Speaker 5: it up with a couple other days of work after that.

222
00:11:00,840 --> 00:11:03,880
Speaker 5: One in particular everybody saw on social media is Kentucky's

223
00:11:03,880 --> 00:11:09,960
Speaker 5: defensive lineman Dean Walker. First day out, he was, you know,

224
00:11:10,000 --> 00:11:12,400
Speaker 5: I called him sticky, sticking on the gall herds and

225
00:11:12,440 --> 00:11:14,760
Speaker 5: not getting off of blocks and stuff like that. As

226
00:11:14,760 --> 00:11:17,320
Speaker 5: the week progressed, you saw him get in the backfield.

227
00:11:17,360 --> 00:11:19,839
Speaker 5: You can tell one of these veteran coaches talk to

228
00:11:19,920 --> 00:11:22,320
Speaker 5: him and say, hey, your job is on the line already,

229
00:11:22,400 --> 00:11:25,240
Speaker 5: you're not even employed. You better show something, and he did.

230
00:11:25,320 --> 00:11:26,559
Speaker 2: And T J.

231
00:11:26,720 --> 00:11:29,160
Speaker 5: Sanders, if I'm not mistaken, out of South Carolina another

232
00:11:29,200 --> 00:11:30,800
Speaker 5: one of those defensive linemen.

233
00:11:30,760 --> 00:11:32,199
Speaker 3: That flashed and showed.

234
00:11:32,920 --> 00:11:34,920
Speaker 5: I was glad to see them kind of answer the

235
00:11:34,920 --> 00:11:38,120
Speaker 5: call a little bit, because right the first day or

236
00:11:38,120 --> 00:11:40,439
Speaker 5: so just didn't go in their favor, But they showed.

237
00:11:40,160 --> 00:11:42,720
Speaker 3: The pedigree for sure. Over the course of this week.

238
00:11:43,040 --> 00:11:45,880
Speaker 2: Well, Mike Green is the one that everybody had huge

239
00:11:45,920 --> 00:11:48,559
Speaker 2: expectations on him coming in here, and it took him

240
00:11:48,600 --> 00:11:50,480
Speaker 2: just a minute to kind of because I think the

241
00:11:50,520 --> 00:11:53,120
Speaker 2: first day he just said, well let me they know

242
00:11:53,160 --> 00:11:56,360
Speaker 2: I'm a speed rusher, let me try to do something else. Well,

243
00:11:56,400 --> 00:11:59,400
Speaker 2: then he went to who he was, which was really good,

244
00:12:00,280 --> 00:12:04,120
Speaker 2: talking about Ramone's guy from Kentucky, just coaching points for

245
00:12:04,200 --> 00:12:06,640
Speaker 2: him that you could tell that they got him really quick.

246
00:12:06,920 --> 00:12:08,599
Speaker 2: He I mean, he's six seven, so he's going to

247
00:12:08,679 --> 00:12:10,960
Speaker 2: play tall anyway. But what he was trying to do

248
00:12:11,000 --> 00:12:14,199
Speaker 2: the first day is get off the ball. He was

249
00:12:14,240 --> 00:12:16,680
Speaker 2: getting off very very high, and then he was standing

250
00:12:16,760 --> 00:12:19,640
Speaker 2: up to look and see because he could see over everything.

251
00:12:19,840 --> 00:12:21,880
Speaker 2: But he was letting them get into his chest. He

252
00:12:21,920 --> 00:12:23,480
Speaker 2: was letting them do all the things you don't let

253
00:12:23,559 --> 00:12:25,960
Speaker 2: him do. So they got a hold of him and said, look,

254
00:12:26,040 --> 00:12:31,000
Speaker 2: Pad's down, go forward, crush the line of scrimmage first,

255
00:12:31,240 --> 00:12:33,080
Speaker 2: and then go to work. And so you could see

256
00:12:33,080 --> 00:12:36,360
Speaker 2: some of the coaching kicking into on these guys, because

257
00:12:36,880 --> 00:12:39,200
Speaker 2: when they go into meetings, when you're coaching this thing.

258
00:12:41,440 --> 00:12:43,760
Speaker 2: When we had Jim Naggy on he told us what

259
00:12:43,800 --> 00:12:47,559
Speaker 2: he tells these coaches is look not real. Don't go

260
00:12:47,679 --> 00:12:51,480
Speaker 2: deep on schemes, but go deep on technique and let

261
00:12:51,559 --> 00:12:54,400
Speaker 2: him play. In other words, don't give him too much mentally,

262
00:12:54,480 --> 00:12:56,640
Speaker 2: you know, to clog him up, but let him play

263
00:12:56,640 --> 00:12:58,560
Speaker 2: because what we want to do is see him compete

264
00:12:58,920 --> 00:13:01,439
Speaker 2: one on one. So you could see the technique that

265
00:13:01,480 --> 00:13:04,040
Speaker 2: they went to with those two guys in particular.

266
00:13:04,240 --> 00:13:06,920
Speaker 1: Well, Mac, you mentioned Jim Naggy, and that is just

267
00:13:07,080 --> 00:13:10,800
Speaker 1: a great transition. Let's share some of that conversation that

268
00:13:10,840 --> 00:13:13,760
Speaker 1: we had with Jim Naggy right here on the OTP.

269
00:13:14,000 --> 00:13:16,720
Speaker 1: He so happy to have you here. We're so excited

270
00:13:16,760 --> 00:13:19,480
Speaker 1: to be here in Mobile at the REESA Senior Bowl.

271
00:13:20,520 --> 00:13:24,679
Speaker 1: And we've got to start by asking you about Mike Borgonzi,

272
00:13:24,800 --> 00:13:27,280
Speaker 1: our new general manager, because I know you guys have

273
00:13:27,320 --> 00:13:30,120
Speaker 1: a history together. You guys are friends. So what should

274
00:13:30,160 --> 00:13:33,360
Speaker 1: we know about our new general manager. Mike.

275
00:13:33,960 --> 00:13:34,680
Speaker 3: He's really good.

276
00:13:34,840 --> 00:13:37,000
Speaker 6: I'm so biased, I can't even answer this question.

277
00:13:37,040 --> 00:13:40,080
Speaker 1: I love like a bias answer here.

278
00:13:40,280 --> 00:13:40,520
Speaker 3: Yeah.

279
00:13:40,640 --> 00:13:43,760
Speaker 6: No, Borgo and I were together in Case for four years.

280
00:13:43,800 --> 00:13:46,960
Speaker 6: He was just it was his first NFL job and

281
00:13:47,800 --> 00:13:49,360
Speaker 6: he you know, so I've seen him. I've seen the

282
00:13:49,400 --> 00:13:52,640
Speaker 6: growth from from the ground up and uh, really hard

283
00:13:52,679 --> 00:13:54,959
Speaker 6: working guy. I mean, really smart guy. He's one of

284
00:13:55,000 --> 00:13:57,280
Speaker 6: those IVY League guys though that he won't tell you

285
00:13:57,320 --> 00:13:58,599
Speaker 6: he went to an IVY League school, like some of

286
00:13:58,640 --> 00:14:00,240
Speaker 6: those guys tell you within the first five minute they

287
00:14:00,280 --> 00:14:02,480
Speaker 6: somehow dropped that they went to an IVY League. You know,

288
00:14:02,520 --> 00:14:04,640
Speaker 6: Mike for five years, he wouldn't tell you when played

289
00:14:04,640 --> 00:14:08,199
Speaker 6: in the IVY League. But no, just he's a relentless worker.

290
00:14:08,360 --> 00:14:09,160
Speaker 3: You're going to get that.

291
00:14:09,360 --> 00:14:11,720
Speaker 6: I mean, this dude, this dude is a workhorse.

292
00:14:13,080 --> 00:14:14,360
Speaker 3: He's going to bring in good people.

293
00:14:14,679 --> 00:14:16,400
Speaker 6: He's I'm so happy for I saw him on the

294
00:14:16,440 --> 00:14:19,440
Speaker 6: practice field yesterday and it's a long time coming. You know,

295
00:14:19,760 --> 00:14:21,080
Speaker 6: people say that a lot for a lot of people

296
00:14:21,120 --> 00:14:22,480
Speaker 6: who look at him. He's been a part of three

297
00:14:22,480 --> 00:14:25,040
Speaker 6: Super Bowl winning teams. At one point he and Brett

298
00:14:25,080 --> 00:14:26,920
Speaker 6: Veach had the same title, and now Brett's been the

299
00:14:26,920 --> 00:14:29,320
Speaker 6: GM forever and nobody's coming got Mike, which is crazy

300
00:14:29,320 --> 00:14:31,480
Speaker 6: to me. So yeah, I'm really happy for him. I

301
00:14:31,520 --> 00:14:32,680
Speaker 6: think Tennessee got the right guy.

302
00:14:33,160 --> 00:14:35,080
Speaker 1: No, we've got to talk about things that are happening

303
00:14:35,120 --> 00:14:36,040
Speaker 1: here in Mobile.

304
00:14:36,200 --> 00:14:36,720
Speaker 3: Let's do it.

305
00:14:36,800 --> 00:14:39,680
Speaker 1: And this event just keeps getting bigger and bigger and bigger.

306
00:14:39,720 --> 00:14:41,880
Speaker 1: Before we get into the nitty gritty, how proud are

307
00:14:41,920 --> 00:14:45,440
Speaker 1: you of how this event has continued to grow and

308
00:14:45,560 --> 00:14:48,440
Speaker 1: the caliber of players that we're seeing seems to get

309
00:14:48,480 --> 00:14:49,600
Speaker 1: better and better every year.

310
00:14:49,800 --> 00:14:52,400
Speaker 6: Well, it's I think it's a testament to the team

311
00:14:52,440 --> 00:14:54,240
Speaker 6: we have here, you know. And I break it up

312
00:14:54,240 --> 00:14:57,000
Speaker 6: into different parts. We've got our office staff, which is

313
00:14:57,000 --> 00:14:57,800
Speaker 6: really ten people.

314
00:14:57,840 --> 00:14:59,200
Speaker 3: I mean, we're a mom and pop shop.

315
00:14:59,280 --> 00:15:02,840
Speaker 6: I mean, this is isn't some like massive operation, and

316
00:15:03,320 --> 00:15:05,760
Speaker 6: right now there's a really high care factor in the office.

317
00:15:05,760 --> 00:15:07,520
Speaker 6: There's a lot of people from the city of Mobile

318
00:15:07,560 --> 00:15:10,600
Speaker 6: on the staff, and this game means everything to the city,

319
00:15:10,640 --> 00:15:13,160
Speaker 6: you know. I mean the NFL approached us years ago

320
00:15:13,200 --> 00:15:15,720
Speaker 6: to move this thing and we said, absolutely not. This

321
00:15:15,840 --> 00:15:17,480
Speaker 6: is part of the fabric of our community. I think

322
00:15:17,560 --> 00:15:20,280
Speaker 6: you guys could all be sensitive to that. You all

323
00:15:20,320 --> 00:15:22,360
Speaker 6: come from hometowns that you know certain things in your

324
00:15:22,360 --> 00:15:24,680
Speaker 6: hometown means something. The Senior bal certainly means a big

325
00:15:24,720 --> 00:15:27,720
Speaker 6: deal to means a lot to Mobile, you know. And

326
00:15:27,720 --> 00:15:30,720
Speaker 6: then we've got a volunteer committee of three hundred and

327
00:15:30,720 --> 00:15:32,480
Speaker 6: fifty some people that help us pull this thing off.

328
00:15:32,480 --> 00:15:34,920
Speaker 6: And we're talking like transportation committee that picks these guys

329
00:15:34,960 --> 00:15:37,280
Speaker 6: up from the airport and gets them downtown. And you

330
00:15:37,320 --> 00:15:39,800
Speaker 6: know security. I mean, there's just so many different committees.

331
00:15:39,800 --> 00:15:41,720
Speaker 6: And then then we've got this core staff. We call

332
00:15:41,760 --> 00:15:44,640
Speaker 6: them like our Senior Bowl family. Like it's the team managers,

333
00:15:44,640 --> 00:15:47,160
Speaker 6: it's the equipment people that have been around the game.

334
00:15:47,200 --> 00:15:50,560
Speaker 6: There's eight individuals and collectively they've been here over three

335
00:15:50,600 --> 00:15:51,280
Speaker 6: hundred years.

336
00:15:51,520 --> 00:15:52,360
Speaker 1: Wow.

337
00:15:52,400 --> 00:15:55,800
Speaker 6: Like our trainer, coach macnism Dean Kleinschmidt just went in

338
00:15:55,840 --> 00:15:58,080
Speaker 6: the Pro Football Hall of Fame this summer as a

339
00:15:58,120 --> 00:16:00,200
Speaker 6: forty one year NFL trainer. He's been with us. This

340
00:16:00,240 --> 00:16:03,320
Speaker 6: is your fifty four for Dino. So yeah, just a

341
00:16:03,320 --> 00:16:05,280
Speaker 6: lot of a lot of great people. And so that's

342
00:16:05,280 --> 00:16:07,120
Speaker 6: what I'm that's what I'm proud of, is that, you know,

343
00:16:07,160 --> 00:16:09,400
Speaker 6: this group is taking a lot of pride and now

344
00:16:09,400 --> 00:16:10,160
Speaker 6: that we're seeing.

345
00:16:09,960 --> 00:16:10,520
Speaker 3: It take off.

346
00:16:10,520 --> 00:16:12,280
Speaker 6: We've we've tried to do a good job marketing this

347
00:16:12,280 --> 00:16:14,440
Speaker 6: thing over the years. So it's like this, like you

348
00:16:14,480 --> 00:16:16,040
Speaker 6: guys being here, that's a big deal for us.

349
00:16:16,280 --> 00:16:18,480
Speaker 1: The players on the field who are coming out to

350
00:16:18,560 --> 00:16:23,280
Speaker 1: this thing. There's so many different competitions, there's so much

351
00:16:23,320 --> 00:16:25,880
Speaker 1: happening on the field. Who are some of the groups

352
00:16:25,920 --> 00:16:28,560
Speaker 1: that you have your eye on as this week continues.

353
00:16:28,680 --> 00:16:29,600
Speaker 3: That's what this week is.

354
00:16:29,720 --> 00:16:31,920
Speaker 6: Competition, you know, as we tell the coaches when we

355
00:16:31,920 --> 00:16:33,840
Speaker 6: get them here, like this isn't a huge teaching week,

356
00:16:34,040 --> 00:16:36,680
Speaker 6: you know, like just like, get these guys motivated, crank

357
00:16:36,720 --> 00:16:39,360
Speaker 6: them up, and let them go. You know, the evaluators

358
00:16:39,400 --> 00:16:41,840
Speaker 6: are here down here to see movement and explosion, and

359
00:16:42,360 --> 00:16:43,920
Speaker 6: you know you can't do that. You can't show that

360
00:16:43,960 --> 00:16:46,040
Speaker 6: stuff if you're out here in your mind's racing. So

361
00:16:46,040 --> 00:16:47,880
Speaker 6: so let's keep it simple and let these guys go

362
00:16:47,920 --> 00:16:50,760
Speaker 6: and put them in competitive period. So I thought the

363
00:16:50,800 --> 00:16:53,360
Speaker 6: old line D line stuff yesterday was great. I think

364
00:16:53,400 --> 00:16:55,160
Speaker 6: this is our best D line group we've ever put

365
00:16:55,200 --> 00:16:56,720
Speaker 6: on the field at list. I mean, I've been coming

366
00:16:56,720 --> 00:16:59,440
Speaker 6: to Senior Bowl since nineteen ninety eight and I don't

367
00:16:59,440 --> 00:17:02,000
Speaker 6: even remember those years. Maybe there were good defensive about that,

368
00:17:02,480 --> 00:17:04,680
Speaker 6: but I can speak to the seven years I've been here.

369
00:17:04,840 --> 00:17:07,760
Speaker 6: This D line cruise is pretty nasty and to see

370
00:17:07,960 --> 00:17:10,120
Speaker 6: in O line. If you if you took bets around

371
00:17:10,160 --> 00:17:12,199
Speaker 6: the stadium before O line D line started, I think

372
00:17:12,240 --> 00:17:14,280
Speaker 6: everyone would have put their money on the D line.

373
00:17:14,320 --> 00:17:17,399
Speaker 6: And I thought the O line won yesterday. So that

374
00:17:17,480 --> 00:17:18,840
Speaker 6: was that was that was a fun That was a

375
00:17:18,840 --> 00:17:19,359
Speaker 6: fun group.

376
00:17:20,000 --> 00:17:20,639
Speaker 3: Jim uh.

377
00:17:21,440 --> 00:17:28,240
Speaker 4: The emphasis on allowing underclassmen, so that happened. I think

378
00:17:28,280 --> 00:17:30,639
Speaker 4: November twenty twenty three is when the league kind of

379
00:17:30,640 --> 00:17:33,040
Speaker 4: made that and so you didn't have enough traction. It

380
00:17:33,119 --> 00:17:35,480
Speaker 4: was too close to the event and this time a

381
00:17:35,560 --> 00:17:38,600
Speaker 4: year ago. But now that we've had this full year cycle,

382
00:17:39,200 --> 00:17:41,480
Speaker 4: it was impressive to see the names that you guys

383
00:17:41,640 --> 00:17:45,439
Speaker 4: dropped that Monday and Tuesday morning wherever it was a

384
00:17:45,480 --> 00:17:48,840
Speaker 4: week or two ago. Yeah, that is huge in what

385
00:17:49,040 --> 00:17:50,520
Speaker 4: is a fantastic roster.

386
00:17:50,800 --> 00:17:53,040
Speaker 6: Yeah, and I've said this is our best roster. And

387
00:17:53,040 --> 00:17:55,119
Speaker 6: I don't mean that, you know, I'm not trying to

388
00:17:55,119 --> 00:17:57,040
Speaker 6: brag or anything like that. They should be they should

389
00:17:57,040 --> 00:17:59,360
Speaker 6: be better. We can bring underclassmen, so I'm not I'm

390
00:17:59,400 --> 00:18:02,320
Speaker 6: not saying that like be boastful by any means, but

391
00:18:02,320 --> 00:18:03,920
Speaker 6: but yeah, we didn't get a lot of traction last

392
00:18:04,000 --> 00:18:06,000
Speaker 6: year from them. I just don't think they thought Senior

393
00:18:06,040 --> 00:18:07,480
Speaker 6: Bowl is going to be part of their process.

394
00:18:07,600 --> 00:18:08,600
Speaker 3: And so this year.

395
00:18:09,359 --> 00:18:12,280
Speaker 6: Last year all ten first rounders were seniors. So if

396
00:18:12,280 --> 00:18:13,520
Speaker 6: we can get to you know, and I do, I

397
00:18:13,520 --> 00:18:16,199
Speaker 6: think we've got a bit. You know, nice handful of

398
00:18:16,240 --> 00:18:18,440
Speaker 6: juniors that will be first rounders out of this game.

399
00:18:18,480 --> 00:18:20,800
Speaker 6: So yeah, that's that's a big deal getting the buy

400
00:18:20,840 --> 00:18:23,159
Speaker 6: in from those guys. So hopefully we just keep building it.

401
00:18:23,160 --> 00:18:25,320
Speaker 5: It's got to be exciting when you set this up

402
00:18:25,359 --> 00:18:27,360
Speaker 5: and you understand what it is is good on good

403
00:18:27,440 --> 00:18:29,479
Speaker 5: the Senior Bowl. Everybody wants the Senior Ball and you

404
00:18:29,520 --> 00:18:32,399
Speaker 5: get guys down here that I might not know about,

405
00:18:32,480 --> 00:18:34,840
Speaker 5: Rep may not know about, Coach Mack and Amy may

406
00:18:34,880 --> 00:18:37,439
Speaker 5: not know about, and you see them shine and you

407
00:18:37,520 --> 00:18:40,360
Speaker 5: feel good about extending that invitation too. One of those

408
00:18:40,400 --> 00:18:42,919
Speaker 5: guys yesterday, for me was I kept saying, who the

409
00:18:42,960 --> 00:18:46,760
Speaker 5: heck is sixteen? Ania's peoples like seeing him to your

410
00:18:46,800 --> 00:18:50,200
Speaker 5: point about the defensive line, He's somewhat wreck shop yesterday.

411
00:18:50,560 --> 00:18:52,280
Speaker 5: And not just him, It was a few other guys

412
00:18:52,280 --> 00:18:54,080
Speaker 5: that ended up having good days. I didn't know a

413
00:18:54,080 --> 00:18:58,439
Speaker 5: whole lot about Tied End from Miami. Elijah Royal also today. Yeah,

414
00:18:58,480 --> 00:19:01,080
Speaker 5: but how is it seeing those dudes kind of call

415
00:19:01,160 --> 00:19:03,320
Speaker 5: a pathway for themselves in a week like this?

416
00:19:03,480 --> 00:19:03,680
Speaker 3: Yeah?

417
00:19:03,680 --> 00:19:06,720
Speaker 6: So Anias is a is a good example of us

418
00:19:06,960 --> 00:19:10,600
Speaker 6: trying to integrate some analytics into this thing. You know,

419
00:19:10,640 --> 00:19:13,600
Speaker 6: we're we have a limited budget. We're not we're not

420
00:19:13,680 --> 00:19:16,280
Speaker 6: the Tennessee Titans. We're not some billion up so but

421
00:19:16,400 --> 00:19:19,600
Speaker 6: we try. So We've got this tool PFF Ultimate, and

422
00:19:19,640 --> 00:19:22,400
Speaker 6: you can sort pass rush stuff. And so we got

423
00:19:22,440 --> 00:19:24,160
Speaker 6: into the middle of the fall and we had free

424
00:19:24,200 --> 00:19:27,080
Speaker 6: agent grades on anas People's and from our two scouts

425
00:19:27,080 --> 00:19:30,280
Speaker 6: it saw them and I was like, I was looking

426
00:19:30,320 --> 00:19:33,080
Speaker 6: at these like advanced pass rush metrics, and there's a

427
00:19:33,119 --> 00:19:36,119
Speaker 6: thing called pass rush win rate and you don't necessarily

428
00:19:36,160 --> 00:19:37,560
Speaker 6: have to get a sack, but like you know, it's

429
00:19:37,640 --> 00:19:40,600
Speaker 6: you involves pressures and hurries and all those things. And

430
00:19:40,760 --> 00:19:43,639
Speaker 6: like the top of the top fifty guys in this

431
00:19:43,840 --> 00:19:47,119
Speaker 6: they were all edge players except People's and he was

432
00:19:47,160 --> 00:19:49,600
Speaker 6: like number eight, And I was like, for an interior

433
00:19:49,680 --> 00:19:52,320
Speaker 6: d lineman to be eight on this list when every

434
00:19:52,359 --> 00:19:54,399
Speaker 6: singlar guy's an edge player, I'm like, there's got to

435
00:19:54,440 --> 00:19:56,000
Speaker 6: be some to this guy. So then I flipped him on.

436
00:19:56,080 --> 00:19:58,879
Speaker 6: I'm like, oh, yeah, we've undergraded this guy. Yeah, he

437
00:19:58,920 --> 00:20:01,120
Speaker 6: needs to be in the game. So we caught one

438
00:20:01,160 --> 00:20:02,840
Speaker 6: there that was that was a good one. And then

439
00:20:03,080 --> 00:20:05,040
Speaker 6: you know, like we had we had a guy, we

440
00:20:05,080 --> 00:20:08,400
Speaker 6: had a center from Georgia, dropout on Saturday, which was unfortunate.

441
00:20:08,400 --> 00:20:10,680
Speaker 6: I hate losing guys that late. Yeah, twenty four hours

442
00:20:10,680 --> 00:20:11,760
Speaker 6: from getting on a plane.

443
00:20:11,520 --> 00:20:11,880
Speaker 3: And we lose.

444
00:20:11,880 --> 00:20:14,000
Speaker 6: A guy said, come on, we replaced him with a guy.

445
00:20:14,320 --> 00:20:15,960
Speaker 6: I don't know if you saw this guy yesterday. Willy

446
00:20:16,040 --> 00:20:18,439
Speaker 6: Lampkin's a center from center guard from North Carolina.

447
00:20:19,280 --> 00:20:25,600
Speaker 5: I was going next man, Sorry, no, look all right, yes,

448
00:20:25,800 --> 00:20:30,080
Speaker 5: so again you you you scout. You that's your background.

449
00:20:30,080 --> 00:20:35,040
Speaker 5: You've been in the NFL business and industry. Willie Lampkin,

450
00:20:35,520 --> 00:20:39,840
Speaker 5: how five ten to seventy five invite to the Senior Bowl.

451
00:20:40,440 --> 00:20:41,600
Speaker 1: Your question is how?

452
00:20:42,119 --> 00:20:43,680
Speaker 3: Yeah, not just.

453
00:20:43,680 --> 00:20:46,479
Speaker 5: How, but like I looked at his tape also, I

454
00:20:46,560 --> 00:20:48,760
Speaker 5: get it, but how.

455
00:20:49,200 --> 00:20:53,119
Speaker 6: Yeah, So we lose, We lose Wilson, and Willie was

456
00:20:53,200 --> 00:20:54,920
Speaker 6: just you know, we knew, we knew he wasn't gonna

457
00:20:54,920 --> 00:20:57,280
Speaker 6: come in big. He's a smaller guy. He came in

458
00:20:57,280 --> 00:20:59,159
Speaker 6: at like five ten and three quarters whatever he was.

459
00:20:59,200 --> 00:21:01,160
Speaker 6: He was two hundred and seven pounds when he showed up.

460
00:21:02,080 --> 00:21:03,480
Speaker 6: I thought he was gonna be like two eighty five.

461
00:21:03,480 --> 00:21:05,080
Speaker 6: We didn't have a verified weight for the guy.

462
00:21:05,200 --> 00:21:05,560
Speaker 3: Of course.

463
00:21:06,480 --> 00:21:08,120
Speaker 6: Yeah, he probably never wanted to step on a stale

464
00:21:08,160 --> 00:21:13,119
Speaker 6: until I got here. But uh, but no, so you know,

465
00:21:13,280 --> 00:21:15,560
Speaker 6: but you watch Willy's tape, he's just such a good

466
00:21:15,560 --> 00:21:19,000
Speaker 6: football player, Like he won the ACC Jacob's Blocking Trophy.

467
00:21:19,480 --> 00:21:21,440
Speaker 6: He was a you know, when you dig into his background,

468
00:21:21,440 --> 00:21:23,880
Speaker 6: he's a four time state wrestling champ. So you love

469
00:21:23,920 --> 00:21:26,880
Speaker 6: that his body tape. Even though he short, he's got

470
00:21:26,880 --> 00:21:29,080
Speaker 6: disproportionately long arm. He's got like thirty two and a

471
00:21:29,080 --> 00:21:30,639
Speaker 6: half in charms. He's got a big old butt on

472
00:21:30,720 --> 00:21:33,320
Speaker 6: him so he can stop people. Uh, it's he's in.

473
00:21:33,920 --> 00:21:35,560
Speaker 6: So when we did that, when we announced it the

474
00:21:35,640 --> 00:21:37,879
Speaker 6: day before player arrival, I mean my phone blew up

475
00:21:37,880 --> 00:21:40,440
Speaker 6: with NFL guys because they you know, he is such

476
00:21:40,440 --> 00:21:43,960
Speaker 6: an outlier. He's an extreme outlier. And when you're in personnel,

477
00:21:44,040 --> 00:21:45,800
Speaker 6: you don't want to build a team full of outliers.

478
00:21:45,840 --> 00:21:47,680
Speaker 6: But there is room for some, you know, like you

479
00:21:47,760 --> 00:21:50,560
Speaker 6: got I think the NFL guys in a in a

480
00:21:50,600 --> 00:21:52,879
Speaker 6: perfect world, if you're an NFL scout and putting myself

481
00:21:52,920 --> 00:21:55,080
Speaker 6: back in the league, you see Willy Lampkin, You're like,

482
00:21:55,480 --> 00:21:57,199
Speaker 6: we're gonna get this Guy's a free agent. I am

483
00:21:57,200 --> 00:21:59,560
Speaker 6: going to recruit my tailor, yes, and we're gonna get

484
00:21:59,560 --> 00:22:01,840
Speaker 6: this dude. Well, now, like the guys that hit me up,

485
00:22:01,840 --> 00:22:03,199
Speaker 6: they were like, now, I'm glad you did it, Like

486
00:22:03,240 --> 00:22:05,119
Speaker 6: we were, we were planning on recruiting this guy. But

487
00:22:05,440 --> 00:22:07,320
Speaker 6: he's probably gonna get drafted if he goes to Mobile

488
00:22:07,359 --> 00:22:08,000
Speaker 6: and does what we think.

489
00:22:08,040 --> 00:22:08,400
Speaker 3: He knew.

490
00:22:08,480 --> 00:22:10,679
Speaker 6: So he just needed a chance and I hope it

491
00:22:10,720 --> 00:22:12,879
Speaker 6: happens for him if you just go based off yesterday.

492
00:22:13,400 --> 00:22:15,480
Speaker 6: He more than held his own against some of those

493
00:22:15,560 --> 00:22:16,679
Speaker 6: those really good D linemen.

494
00:22:16,960 --> 00:22:19,000
Speaker 5: I don't realize he could snap. Also, was that a

495
00:22:19,000 --> 00:22:21,080
Speaker 5: part of the play, Like, look, one on one with

496
00:22:21,119 --> 00:22:22,960
Speaker 5: the d tackle is one thing. We put you at

497
00:22:22,960 --> 00:22:25,480
Speaker 5: center and I like to say centers are covered, meaning

498
00:22:25,520 --> 00:22:27,840
Speaker 5: like they got two guys to the sad Yeah, Like

499
00:22:28,680 --> 00:22:30,240
Speaker 5: was that a part of his game play? Because I

500
00:22:30,320 --> 00:22:31,280
Speaker 5: never saw him play center.

501
00:22:31,320 --> 00:22:33,800
Speaker 6: He played center too, He played center as a sophomore,

502
00:22:34,000 --> 00:22:35,520
Speaker 6: so you would have had to dig way back. Yeah,

503
00:22:35,520 --> 00:22:37,040
Speaker 6: the last two years he's been a guard us and

504
00:22:37,040 --> 00:22:40,880
Speaker 6: that was at Coastal Carolina at Coastal correct yup, Coastal transfer.

505
00:22:41,040 --> 00:22:43,320
Speaker 4: So, Jim, you talk about your phone blowing up when

506
00:22:43,400 --> 00:22:48,119
Speaker 4: when you announced him as is the latest edition? So

507
00:22:48,359 --> 00:22:52,800
Speaker 4: another guy you lost quarterback? With the college football playoffs

508
00:22:52,840 --> 00:22:57,160
Speaker 4: being so laid into the dipping into your season here,

509
00:22:57,840 --> 00:23:02,600
Speaker 4: and how many guys started talking to you about Taylor Elgersma,

510
00:23:02,640 --> 00:23:08,680
Speaker 4: the quarterback from Canada. And because you're I've read all

511
00:23:08,720 --> 00:23:10,320
Speaker 4: I can read about this guy. I don't think he's

512
00:23:10,359 --> 00:23:13,400
Speaker 4: been any the manning passing camps or anything, but I've

513
00:23:13,440 --> 00:23:16,040
Speaker 4: seen where he has been a part of the CFL's

514
00:23:16,320 --> 00:23:19,960
Speaker 4: Quarterback Initiative and internship kind of thing where he's participated

515
00:23:19,960 --> 00:23:23,160
Speaker 4: with CFL training camps and things. But how many people

516
00:23:23,160 --> 00:23:25,560
Speaker 4: were bugging you about who is Taylor Elgersma?

517
00:23:26,240 --> 00:23:28,359
Speaker 6: So that one I got to give credit. There's a

518
00:23:28,359 --> 00:23:31,080
Speaker 6: guy in Birmingham and Ben Neil. There's a group down

519
00:23:31,119 --> 00:23:34,320
Speaker 6: here at QB Country. Started in Mobile. There's branches all

520
00:23:34,359 --> 00:23:36,720
Speaker 6: over the South. There's one in Nashville. The Nashville one

521
00:23:36,720 --> 00:23:40,320
Speaker 6: does really really well, trains middle school high school aged kids,

522
00:23:41,000 --> 00:23:42,760
Speaker 6: and we have a partnership with those guys.

523
00:23:43,160 --> 00:23:43,600
Speaker 3: During the week.

524
00:23:43,640 --> 00:23:44,840
Speaker 6: There's a camp at the end of the week, a

525
00:23:44,920 --> 00:23:48,080
Speaker 6: QB Country Draft prep experience is what we call it.

526
00:23:48,119 --> 00:23:50,000
Speaker 6: So we bring a bunch of high school kids down

527
00:23:50,000 --> 00:23:52,439
Speaker 6: here and get him behind the scenes. And so Ben

528
00:23:53,000 --> 00:23:55,080
Speaker 6: was training Taylor this summer and he called me in

529
00:23:55,080 --> 00:23:56,840
Speaker 6: October he's like, man, He's like, I know you're the

530
00:23:56,840 --> 00:23:59,560
Speaker 6: senior ball and this is probably a stretch, but you know,

531
00:23:59,600 --> 00:24:01,840
Speaker 6: could you hooked me up with some of another All

532
00:24:01,840 --> 00:24:03,760
Speaker 6: Star game for this kid? I got this Canadian guy

533
00:24:03,800 --> 00:24:06,360
Speaker 6: that can really throw it. And yeah, we lost Will

534
00:24:06,359 --> 00:24:09,240
Speaker 6: Howard last week after the college football playoff, we lost

535
00:24:09,280 --> 00:24:11,159
Speaker 6: all the Ohio State guys, which was unfortunately. We had

536
00:24:11,200 --> 00:24:14,600
Speaker 6: some really good ones coming down here. So I was like,

537
00:24:14,640 --> 00:24:16,480
Speaker 6: you know what, let's do it. Let's let's bring this

538
00:24:16,520 --> 00:24:18,480
Speaker 6: guy down and uh let him rep.

539
00:24:18,359 --> 00:24:21,359
Speaker 4: Thro the Cub Country. Don't they have a branch of

540
00:24:21,359 --> 00:24:23,200
Speaker 4: that in Nashville, I do, That's what I thought.

541
00:24:23,240 --> 00:24:24,080
Speaker 3: Yeah, it does really well.

542
00:24:24,119 --> 00:24:25,879
Speaker 4: That was started by the guy who's running the Manning

543
00:24:25,920 --> 00:24:26,600
Speaker 4: passing camps.

544
00:24:26,680 --> 00:24:27,560
Speaker 3: Yeah, David Morris.

545
00:24:27,560 --> 00:24:29,879
Speaker 6: So David was Eli Manning's back up at Ole Miss

546
00:24:29,920 --> 00:24:31,800
Speaker 6: and there, you know, best buddies and in each other's

547
00:24:31,840 --> 00:24:35,400
Speaker 6: weddings and all that, and now so yeah, he runs

548
00:24:35,400 --> 00:24:37,440
Speaker 6: the Manning passing camp now, so just a lot of connections,

549
00:24:37,480 --> 00:24:39,080
Speaker 6: you know when you get in the football world, like

550
00:24:39,119 --> 00:24:40,600
Speaker 6: everyone kind of knows each other and.

551
00:24:40,760 --> 00:24:42,919
Speaker 4: Just interested to see him down this week. You know,

552
00:24:43,040 --> 00:24:44,840
Speaker 4: after they've had that first day to kind of get

553
00:24:44,840 --> 00:24:47,159
Speaker 4: their bearings. I mean, the dude can throw, Yeah, you

554
00:24:47,200 --> 00:24:48,919
Speaker 4: can throw it, but think about it. The field's different,

555
00:24:49,000 --> 00:24:51,160
Speaker 4: the ball size is different. I mean there's just a lot.

556
00:24:51,600 --> 00:24:53,560
Speaker 4: There's a lot. There's a lot going on with this

557
00:24:53,600 --> 00:24:55,679
Speaker 4: guy right now. And he's never played with people like

558
00:24:55,720 --> 00:24:56,360
Speaker 4: he's playing with.

559
00:24:56,400 --> 00:24:59,200
Speaker 6: The speedy game is probably you know, I haven't talked

560
00:24:59,240 --> 00:25:01,840
Speaker 6: to Taylor since practice yesterday, but I'm sure he was

561
00:25:01,840 --> 00:25:03,920
Speaker 6: out there like wow, like these receivers, like you didn't

562
00:25:03,920 --> 00:25:07,399
Speaker 6: have guys like that up again. So now he might

563
00:25:07,440 --> 00:25:09,760
Speaker 6: have been laid on a couple throws yesterday, but no,

564
00:25:10,440 --> 00:25:12,600
Speaker 6: it's cool. It's a cool story. I did a TV

565
00:25:12,720 --> 00:25:15,960
Speaker 6: thing TV hit up in Canada a couple days ago,

566
00:25:16,000 --> 00:25:17,800
Speaker 6: and they were like, man, this is wildfire up here,

567
00:25:17,840 --> 00:25:19,639
Speaker 6: like this is all anyone can talk about. And I'm like,

568
00:25:19,720 --> 00:25:22,280
Speaker 6: that's that's awesome. That's not why we did it, you know,

569
00:25:22,359 --> 00:25:25,120
Speaker 6: like I did. This kid deserves a chance. So and

570
00:25:25,160 --> 00:25:28,440
Speaker 6: you needed an arm too. We need it through the week. Yeah, yeah,

571
00:25:28,800 --> 00:25:30,360
Speaker 6: you know the way that we feel about you.

572
00:25:30,400 --> 00:25:32,240
Speaker 2: But what you've done, and I've told you this, I mean,

573
00:25:32,280 --> 00:25:35,760
Speaker 2: this is I've been coming since eighty six to this

574
00:25:35,840 --> 00:25:38,520
Speaker 2: thing coached in it several times. You've done a great

575
00:25:38,600 --> 00:25:41,040
Speaker 2: job with this place. You've done a great job of

576
00:25:41,160 --> 00:25:42,440
Speaker 2: identifying players.

577
00:25:42,680 --> 00:25:45,280
Speaker 6: Well, coach Mac, Yeah, that means that's coming for you.

578
00:25:45,400 --> 00:25:46,760
Speaker 6: That means a ton, means a ton.

579
00:25:46,840 --> 00:25:47,159
Speaker 3: Thank you.

580
00:25:47,640 --> 00:25:50,400
Speaker 1: The thing that strikes me about Jim Naggy every time

581
00:25:50,400 --> 00:25:54,360
Speaker 1: we talk to him is that he is so excited

582
00:25:54,440 --> 00:25:57,840
Speaker 1: to tell the stories of these players. Yes, he's an

583
00:25:57,880 --> 00:26:03,119
Speaker 1: evaluator of talent, but he gets so genuinely excited about

584
00:26:03,200 --> 00:26:06,280
Speaker 1: each individual player as a person and who there are

585
00:26:06,800 --> 00:26:10,119
Speaker 1: and their journey to this point and rhet I just

586
00:26:10,119 --> 00:26:13,640
Speaker 1: think that that is such a special thing that he

587
00:26:13,760 --> 00:26:17,280
Speaker 1: is the person taking over that he is the person

588
00:26:17,320 --> 00:26:20,520
Speaker 1: who has taken on this role in the Senior Bowl

589
00:26:20,600 --> 00:26:23,760
Speaker 1: and made it just exponentially better because he cares about

590
00:26:23,760 --> 00:26:24,520
Speaker 1: those guys so much.

591
00:26:24,600 --> 00:26:28,600
Speaker 4: That's the thing. It's still a people business, and they

592
00:26:28,760 --> 00:26:31,280
Speaker 4: are from all walks of life, and some of them

593
00:26:31,280 --> 00:26:34,040
Speaker 4: are met with tragedies, some are met with triumph, some

594
00:26:34,280 --> 00:26:37,000
Speaker 4: with both. And you heard him mention right there. You

595
00:26:37,040 --> 00:26:40,840
Speaker 4: know Jack Besh, the receiver from TCU who tragically lost

596
00:26:40,840 --> 00:26:44,199
Speaker 4: his brother Tiger, the receiver from Princeton in the New

597
00:26:44,280 --> 00:26:47,240
Speaker 4: Year's Eve thing that went down in New Orleans and

598
00:26:47,560 --> 00:26:49,680
Speaker 4: of course, you know he's wearing his brother's number and

599
00:26:49,720 --> 00:26:52,680
Speaker 4: everybody's wearing the decal on the helmet for the game.

600
00:26:53,160 --> 00:26:56,199
Speaker 4: But there's all these different stories like Tess Johnson that

601
00:26:56,280 --> 00:26:59,760
Speaker 4: we've just mentioned here in this OTP from Oregon. He

602
00:27:00,440 --> 00:27:03,600
Speaker 4: is the adopted brother of Bo Nicks, like they become

603
00:27:03,800 --> 00:27:07,720
Speaker 4: that tight in that program with the Ducks, and his

604
00:27:07,760 --> 00:27:10,960
Speaker 4: family adopted Tz. So you know, there's just some really

605
00:27:11,000 --> 00:27:15,280
Speaker 4: neat stories in this. And you know, I mentioned the

606
00:27:15,400 --> 00:27:22,120
Speaker 4: linebacker from South Carolina who has all these crazy connections

607
00:27:22,760 --> 00:27:27,200
Speaker 4: and Demetrious Night. I think I've shared this with y'all,

608
00:27:27,200 --> 00:27:29,720
Speaker 4: but I mean, here's a guy that he spent four

609
00:27:29,760 --> 00:27:32,960
Speaker 4: years at Georgia Tech. He went to Charlotte for his

610
00:27:33,200 --> 00:27:36,199
Speaker 4: fifth year, and because he is married and has two

611
00:27:36,280 --> 00:27:39,120
Speaker 4: young children, one boy one girl, he would go as

612
00:27:39,160 --> 00:27:42,920
Speaker 4: a door dash driver after these ball games that charlottecause

613
00:27:42,920 --> 00:27:45,760
Speaker 4: obviously there's not a ton of nil money coming into Charlotte,

614
00:27:46,320 --> 00:27:49,800
Speaker 4: so he takes a six year of eligibility. He goes

615
00:27:49,840 --> 00:27:52,560
Speaker 4: to South Carolina. He has a really nice year there

616
00:27:53,240 --> 00:27:55,920
Speaker 4: and so he is one that has starting to show

617
00:27:56,000 --> 00:27:58,679
Speaker 4: up in this off ball linebacker group this week, and

618
00:27:58,760 --> 00:28:03,240
Speaker 4: he's also famously related to DiAngelo Hall, who we know

619
00:28:03,280 --> 00:28:05,520
Speaker 4: in the National Football League, and he is cousins with

620
00:28:05,800 --> 00:28:08,160
Speaker 4: Gladys Knight of Classes Night and the Pips, and also

621
00:28:08,240 --> 00:28:09,120
Speaker 4: Aretha Franklin.

634
00:28:50,680 --> 00:28:53,520
Speaker 1: opportunity to sit down and talk to some of these guys.

00:29:00,720 --> 00:29:03,600

639
00:29:03,680 --> 00:29:07,480
Speaker 1: down here participating in the recent Senior Bowl. And to start,

640
00:29:08,320 --> 00:29:11,080
Speaker 1: we want to introduce you to Pat Bryant because he

641
00:29:11,560 --> 00:29:15,640
Speaker 1: was the fourteenth player in Illinois's history to start at

642
00:29:15,720 --> 00:29:18,920
Speaker 1: least three games as a true freshman. He ended his

643
00:29:18,960 --> 00:29:22,200
Speaker 1: career with one hundred and thirty seven receptions for twenty

644
00:29:22,320 --> 00:29:26,280
Speaker 1: and ninety five yards and nineteen touchdowns. And when you

645
00:29:26,360 --> 00:29:29,800
Speaker 1: talk to this kid, you hear his passion immediately.

646
00:29:30,720 --> 00:29:33,560
Speaker 4: You clearly love this game and you're clearly not afraid

647
00:29:33,560 --> 00:29:35,280
Speaker 4: to work. All you guys have worked to get to

648
00:29:35,320 --> 00:29:38,200
Speaker 4: where you are this week. But that workmanship and that

649
00:29:38,360 --> 00:29:40,280
Speaker 4: grinder I hear, and you where where does all that

650
00:29:40,320 --> 00:29:40,800
Speaker 4: come from?

651
00:29:40,840 --> 00:29:43,360
Speaker 7: So honestly, man, just growing up in Florida, Man, you know,

652
00:29:43,520 --> 00:29:44,800
Speaker 7: it's really just a football stage.

653
00:29:44,800 --> 00:29:46,320
Speaker 3: So just I don't know, if you.

654
00:29:46,240 --> 00:29:47,680
Speaker 7: Know, if you don't got that dog again, you man,

655
00:29:47,720 --> 00:29:49,640
Speaker 7: you really won't last that long and it's eventually going

656
00:29:49,680 --> 00:29:51,920
Speaker 7: to get exposed. But really, just my posse was always

657
00:29:51,920 --> 00:29:54,120
Speaker 7: hard on me, man, just growing up. I started playing

658
00:29:54,120 --> 00:29:56,160
Speaker 7: football at four years old, so he was kind of

659
00:29:56,200 --> 00:29:58,240
Speaker 7: my coach, my mentor you know, throughout, you know, all

660
00:29:58,280 --> 00:29:59,800
Speaker 7: the way to middle school. Finally let me go, but

661
00:29:59,880 --> 00:30:01,920
Speaker 7: just having him in my corner man like. He wasn't

662
00:30:01,920 --> 00:30:03,960
Speaker 7: one of those nice coaches, Like it was times where

663
00:30:04,040 --> 00:30:05,720
Speaker 7: where I kind of felt like, like that you push

664
00:30:05,800 --> 00:30:07,040
Speaker 7: me a little too hard. But now that I look

665
00:30:07,080 --> 00:30:09,200
Speaker 7: back on at my like, I really like wouldn't be

666
00:30:09,200 --> 00:30:11,320
Speaker 7: where I am today without him Because when I was

667
00:30:11,320 --> 00:30:12,800
Speaker 7: going to college, I was kind of looking for a

668
00:30:12,840 --> 00:30:15,800
Speaker 7: coach that honestly kind of had that same coaching style

669
00:30:15,800 --> 00:30:17,520
Speaker 7: because that's what I was used to growing up in

670
00:30:17,720 --> 00:30:20,320
Speaker 7: At Illinois, Coach Andrew Stoker Hayes was that guy named

671
00:30:20,320 --> 00:30:22,840
Speaker 7: coach George McDonald came in the coach step came in.

672
00:30:22,920 --> 00:30:25,240
Speaker 7: He wasn't really he was a little laid back, wasn't

673
00:30:25,280 --> 00:30:27,400
Speaker 7: wasn't as aggressive. But I went through that my first

674
00:30:27,400 --> 00:30:29,400
Speaker 7: three years, so I kind of, you know, self disciplined

675
00:30:29,520 --> 00:30:31,120
Speaker 7: enough to have a coach come in like that and

676
00:30:31,200 --> 00:30:33,720
Speaker 7: just keep that same you know that pushing that dog.

677
00:30:34,040 --> 00:30:36,640
Speaker 4: Yes, so Dad gave you the whole I'm not your friend,

678
00:30:36,720 --> 00:30:38,120
Speaker 4: I'm your dad. Oh yeah.

679
00:30:38,160 --> 00:30:40,120
Speaker 7: He kept it every every time I tried tried some

680
00:30:40,240 --> 00:30:42,680
Speaker 7: crazy no no, no, no, I'm your father. Like on

681
00:30:42,720 --> 00:30:44,360
Speaker 7: the field, I'm your coach. But but when we leave

682
00:30:44,400 --> 00:30:45,960
Speaker 7: this field, I'm your father. So just having him in

683
00:30:46,000 --> 00:30:48,400
Speaker 7: my corner, man, it was really honestly special. Then you

684
00:30:48,440 --> 00:30:49,800
Speaker 7: know that's the that's the guy I think the most.

685
00:30:50,080 --> 00:30:53,800
Speaker 4: Let me ask you this based on that relationship. Now

686
00:30:53,840 --> 00:30:59,280
Speaker 4: that he sees you're this close to being in this

687
00:30:59,360 --> 00:31:02,760
Speaker 4: league where that shield has he let down any of that,

688
00:31:02,840 --> 00:31:04,640
Speaker 4: and that you know he's he's.

689
00:31:05,720 --> 00:31:08,760
Speaker 7: So so at first he'd be like at the any game,

690
00:31:08,760 --> 00:31:10,800
Speaker 7: he would say, uh so as a father, he would

691
00:31:10,840 --> 00:31:12,760
Speaker 7: give me a little scoop, and then he'd say, as

692
00:31:12,800 --> 00:31:14,520
Speaker 7: your coach, and then he would give me like things

693
00:31:14,560 --> 00:31:16,200
Speaker 7: he saw while I was playing, things I need to

694
00:31:16,200 --> 00:31:17,640
Speaker 7: work on. So he I mean, he kind of he

695
00:31:17,680 --> 00:31:19,280
Speaker 7: kind of dollar back a little bit, just knowing that

696
00:31:19,320 --> 00:31:21,080
Speaker 7: I have coaches, but he's still gonna give his piece

697
00:31:21,120 --> 00:31:23,280
Speaker 7: of advice. And you know after any game where anytime

698
00:31:23,280 --> 00:31:24,480
Speaker 7: you see me, he used to come to pass it

699
00:31:24,560 --> 00:31:27,040
Speaker 7: sometimes anything he saw like many times he's just you know,

700
00:31:27,120 --> 00:31:29,040
Speaker 7: correct things and at the same time be a father

701
00:31:29,080 --> 00:31:30,200
Speaker 7: and just say how proud of he he is.

702
00:31:30,760 --> 00:31:32,960
Speaker 4: The night your Name's called is kind of change that

703
00:31:33,040 --> 00:31:35,400
Speaker 4: for him, though, oh yeah, it'll certainly change it for you.

704
00:31:35,640 --> 00:31:38,280
Speaker 4: But you might see some of that that wall come

705
00:31:38,320 --> 00:31:39,320
Speaker 4: down a little bit.

706
00:31:39,440 --> 00:31:40,000
Speaker 3: That's awesome.

707
00:31:40,040 --> 00:31:40,240
Speaker 4: Man.

708
00:31:41,120 --> 00:31:43,680

712
00:31:53,320 --> 00:31:57,200
Speaker 1: Tuesday's practice to talk about his unique skill set as

713
00:31:57,240 --> 00:32:00,000
Speaker 1: a tight end and what it means to the Nashville

714
00:32:00,240 --> 00:32:02,440
Speaker 1: Negative if he had the chance to play for the

715
00:32:02,440 --> 00:32:06,720
Speaker 1: Tennessee Titans. What makes you and your style of play

716
00:32:06,800 --> 00:32:07,400
Speaker 1: so special?

717
00:32:07,720 --> 00:32:09,640
Speaker 8: Yeah, you know, I think you cause you a really

718
00:32:09,640 --> 00:32:11,840
Speaker 8: good word. You know, I think I bring a lot

719
00:32:11,880 --> 00:32:13,440
Speaker 8: to the table in terms of the run in the

720
00:32:13,440 --> 00:32:15,320
Speaker 8: past game. I think I can make a difference in both.

721
00:32:15,880 --> 00:32:17,640
Speaker 8: But obviously I feel like my strength is in the

722
00:32:17,640 --> 00:32:21,040
Speaker 8: past game, grant separation, create a mismatches outside, and I'm

723
00:32:21,040 --> 00:32:21,760
Speaker 8: ready to go.

724
00:32:22,200 --> 00:32:24,680
Speaker 1: Prove that at the next level. Where do you think

725
00:32:24,720 --> 00:32:25,960
Speaker 1: that fits in the best?

726
00:32:26,640 --> 00:32:28,920
Speaker 8: I think it fits in anywhere. You know, I'm open

727
00:32:28,960 --> 00:32:30,680
Speaker 8: to learn new things. I just want to be able

728
00:32:30,720 --> 00:32:32,000
Speaker 8: to compete, you know, do my best day in and

729
00:32:32,080 --> 00:32:34,240
Speaker 8: day out, and uh, wherever that is. You know, God

730
00:32:34,240 --> 00:32:36,120
Speaker 8: has planned for me. So I'm trusting that a.

731
00:32:36,080 --> 00:32:38,360
Speaker 1: Lot of what people talk about as your spatial awareness

732
00:32:38,360 --> 00:32:40,880
Speaker 1: as well. Where does that come from, the ability to

733
00:32:41,000 --> 00:32:43,160
Speaker 1: know not only where you need to be in relation

734
00:32:43,240 --> 00:32:45,520
Speaker 1: to what's happening, but what everyone else is doing as well.

735
00:32:45,840 --> 00:32:47,280
Speaker 8: Yeah, I think it just goes to the coaching and

736
00:32:47,280 --> 00:32:48,960
Speaker 8: I received at Clemson. You know, I think they did

737
00:32:49,000 --> 00:32:51,520
Speaker 8: a really good job installing the entire concept, install on

738
00:32:51,560 --> 00:32:53,360
Speaker 8: how I fit into the entire offense, more so than

739
00:32:53,400 --> 00:32:55,520
Speaker 8: just what the tight end was doing on a specific play.

740
00:32:55,920 --> 00:32:58,840
Speaker 8: So I think just numerous reps at Clemson kind just

741
00:32:58,840 --> 00:33:00,080
Speaker 8: gave me the opportunity to be able to get a

742
00:33:00,080 --> 00:33:01,880
Speaker 8: good feel for the game, get a good feel for coverages,

743
00:33:02,200 --> 00:33:03,440
Speaker 8: and kind of be able to sit down the soft

744
00:33:03,480 --> 00:33:05,520
Speaker 8: spots and be a safety valve for the quarterbacks.

745
00:33:06,080 --> 00:33:08,400
Speaker 1: At the next level, the tight end position is such

746
00:33:08,480 --> 00:33:11,320
Speaker 1: a huge part of what offenses do because whether it's

747
00:33:11,440 --> 00:33:15,120
Speaker 1: protection or whether it's catching passes or anything, you're very

748
00:33:15,160 --> 00:33:17,240
Speaker 1: involved in the offense as a whole. Why do you

749
00:33:17,240 --> 00:33:19,520
Speaker 1: think that you are uniquely skilled to be able to

750
00:33:19,560 --> 00:33:19,800
Speaker 1: do that?

751
00:33:20,240 --> 00:33:22,080
Speaker 8: Yeah, you know, I think the tight end position is

752
00:33:22,080 --> 00:33:24,040
Speaker 8: a tough position to play. You gotta be as smart

753
00:33:24,040 --> 00:33:26,120
Speaker 8: as a quarterback. Yeah, I know pretty much everything that's

754
00:33:26,120 --> 00:33:28,200
Speaker 8: going on. But I think me, I think I'm built

755
00:33:28,200 --> 00:33:28,840
Speaker 8: to be a tight end.

756
00:33:29,120 --> 00:33:30,360
Speaker 3: Like you said, i have a unique skill set.

757
00:33:30,440 --> 00:33:32,560
Speaker 8: I bring a lot to the table, and I've also

758
00:33:32,600 --> 00:33:35,000
Speaker 8: received great coaching along the way. So I'm just ready to,

759
00:33:35,120 --> 00:33:38,560
Speaker 8: you know, put that on full display. And I'm ready here.

760
00:33:38,400 --> 00:33:40,720
Speaker 1: From Brentwood, went to Ravenwood High School. What would it

761
00:33:40,760 --> 00:33:41,960
Speaker 1: mean to you to play for a team like the

762
00:33:42,000 --> 00:33:43,120
Speaker 1: Tennessee Titans.

763
00:33:43,160 --> 00:33:44,960
Speaker 8: And it'd be pretty sweet. You know, my parents still

764
00:33:44,960 --> 00:33:47,200
Speaker 8: live in Brentwood, so that was my favorite team growing up.

765
00:33:47,600 --> 00:33:49,640
Speaker 8: You know, I went to Titans games the Nissan Stadium,

766
00:33:49,680 --> 00:33:51,880
Speaker 8: so it'd be pretty cool. I'm looking forward to, you know,

767
00:33:51,920 --> 00:33:53,200
Speaker 8: whatever team God has a sore for me.

768
00:33:53,600 --> 00:33:55,520
Speaker 1: And here's one more and then I promise I'll stop

769
00:33:55,600 --> 00:33:59,720
Speaker 1: one more. This is offensive lineman Wyatt Milam from West

770
00:33:59,760 --> 00:34:03,479
Speaker 1: virgin and he was willing to switch from tackle to

771
00:34:03,600 --> 00:34:07,480
Speaker 1: guard at the next level, but he started out his

772
00:34:07,480 --> 00:34:11,360
Speaker 1: football career in a completely different position group altogether.

773
00:34:11,760 --> 00:34:13,840
Speaker 5: Did you always play the offensive line or were you

774
00:34:13,880 --> 00:34:16,000
Speaker 5: at like me, tried to fight it and wanted to

775
00:34:16,000 --> 00:34:16,680
Speaker 5: play tight end.

776
00:34:16,800 --> 00:34:20,640
Speaker 9: See the funny thing is I'm so middle school all

777
00:34:20,640 --> 00:34:23,560
Speaker 9: the way till ninth grade. Yeah, I played tight end.

778
00:34:23,640 --> 00:34:29,080
Speaker 5: Yeah you guys end, it's the last step before they

779
00:34:29,120 --> 00:34:29,719
Speaker 5: say no.

780
00:34:30,360 --> 00:34:34,359
Speaker 9: Then my my first strimmage. So I transferred to a school. Yeah,

781
00:34:34,400 --> 00:34:36,319
Speaker 9: I was still tight end. My first strimmage, I ran

782
00:34:36,400 --> 00:34:39,040
Speaker 9: like a little drag route, dropped the past. The next

783
00:34:39,120 --> 00:34:40,880
Speaker 9: day they put me at right tackle, and I've been

784
00:34:40,960 --> 00:34:42,280
Speaker 9: offensive lineman ever since.

785
00:34:45,960 --> 00:34:46,799
Speaker 3: Mone was this.

786
00:34:46,960 --> 00:34:48,440
Speaker 5: I was not about me, but I got to tell

787
00:34:48,480 --> 00:34:50,640
Speaker 5: you my pathway ninth grade, I'll played tight end d

788
00:34:50,880 --> 00:34:54,040
Speaker 5: n sophomore year to put me at uh at tackle

789
00:34:54,080 --> 00:34:56,960
Speaker 5: because my brother was the main tight end junior senior year,

790
00:34:57,360 --> 00:34:59,520
Speaker 5: moved a d tackle in the offensive tackle there you

791
00:34:59,520 --> 00:34:59,920
Speaker 5: go back there?

792
00:35:00,440 --> 00:35:04,920
Speaker 9: Yeah yeah, yeah, just dropping that one pass. You know,

793
00:35:05,760 --> 00:35:07,640
Speaker 9: I don't know what would happen if I did catch it.

794
00:35:07,840 --> 00:35:09,759
Speaker 4: I don't know where. I don't know if I would

795
00:35:09,800 --> 00:35:10,480
Speaker 4: be here right now.

796
00:35:10,560 --> 00:35:13,239
Speaker 9: But but I'm glad they I'm glad they moved me

797
00:35:13,280 --> 00:35:13,759
Speaker 9: there right that.

798
00:35:15,400 --> 00:35:19,680
Speaker 5: Yeah, clearly you're one of those guys you're invited to hear.

Speaker 2: vetting these people through the years that he's been in

856
00:38:09,680 --> 00:38:12,200
Speaker 2: charge of this. But he also knows that he's changing

857
00:38:12,200 --> 00:38:15,400
Speaker 2: their lives. He's completely changing their lives for the better.

858
00:38:15,840 --> 00:38:18,120
Speaker 2: And you know, you'd have to be proud of that.

859
00:38:18,560 --> 00:38:21,040
Speaker 2: As a coach. You're proud of that when guys come in,

860
00:38:21,080 --> 00:38:22,839
Speaker 2: I mean they come in driving a Pinto and leave

861
00:38:22,920 --> 00:38:26,520
Speaker 2: driving a Mercedes. I mean, you're proud of that because

862
00:38:26,520 --> 00:38:27,600
Speaker 2: you've seen them just grow.

863
00:38:27,880 --> 00:38:30,040
Speaker 3: But this this is big.

864
00:38:30,120 --> 00:38:32,440
Speaker 5: And it seems to be even as if they're going

865
00:38:32,520 --> 00:38:35,120
Speaker 5: to improve it even more. A conversation with Jim Nagge,

866
00:38:35,160 --> 00:38:38,600
Speaker 5: he explained how they're incorporating analytics into it now and

867
00:38:38,640 --> 00:38:41,600
Speaker 5: how it really benefited a guy in the NS peeples.

868
00:38:41,800 --> 00:38:44,520
Speaker 5: You know, like that played a huge part there, putting

869
00:38:44,600 --> 00:38:46,839
Speaker 5: in and he just kept showing up in their top ten.

870
00:38:46,960 --> 00:38:49,520
Speaker 5: And that to me, coach, Max your point, like a

871
00:38:49,520 --> 00:38:52,120
Speaker 5: lot of people are, I'm old school, I'm okay, let's

872
00:38:52,120 --> 00:38:53,879
Speaker 5: just beat each other up and go about our day.

873
00:38:54,239 --> 00:38:57,560
Speaker 5: But like, there is a sector of this game that

874
00:38:57,640 --> 00:39:00,000
Speaker 5: needs a little bit of technology and analytics and stiff

875
00:39:00,520 --> 00:39:02,719
Speaker 5: and Nia's Peebles is one of those guys. Man, I

876
00:39:02,760 --> 00:39:05,520
Speaker 5: was glad to hear that story from Jim Naggy break

877
00:39:05,560 --> 00:39:08,520
Speaker 5: down how they found him production and Max to your point,

878
00:39:09,160 --> 00:39:10,960
Speaker 5: you talk about making it to the league if you

879
00:39:11,200 --> 00:39:13,800
Speaker 5: have it or something that they want in the NFL,

880
00:39:14,400 --> 00:39:16,640
Speaker 5: Jim Naggy or one of these scouts that are down here,

881
00:39:16,680 --> 00:39:19,160
Speaker 5: also they will find you. They absolutely will.

882
00:39:19,480 --> 00:39:23,720
Speaker 2: Well they not only they not only find you. And again,

883
00:39:23,800 --> 00:39:26,120
Speaker 2: I mean we heard, we heard the story from Jim Naggy.

884
00:39:26,160 --> 00:39:29,120
Speaker 2: I mean the only reason that Ana's Peebles is here

885
00:39:29,560 --> 00:39:32,640
Speaker 2: is because somebody chose not to come, right, somebody chose

886
00:39:32,680 --> 00:39:35,080
Speaker 2: not to come and they called him at the last

887
00:39:35,080 --> 00:39:36,960
Speaker 2: instant and he said, I can't wait to be there.

888
00:39:37,120 --> 00:39:38,200
Speaker 3: Awesome, and then he.

889
00:39:38,280 --> 00:39:41,200
Speaker 4: Just so And then you look at the track record

890
00:39:41,239 --> 00:39:42,840
Speaker 4: of success over the last year. I mean, it was

891
00:39:42,840 --> 00:39:45,560
Speaker 4: ten first round draft picks here last year, yep, and

892
00:39:46,560 --> 00:39:49,800
Speaker 4: it for the most part, but don't know the percentage,

893
00:39:49,840 --> 00:39:53,400
Speaker 4: But for the most part, if you're here, you probably

894
00:39:53,440 --> 00:39:55,759
Speaker 4: end up getting an invite to the Combine, which you

895
00:39:55,960 --> 00:40:00,480
Speaker 4: really that's the big, big show and those two big

896
00:40:00,600 --> 00:40:03,480
Speaker 4: stepping stones to get into the league. This is the

897
00:40:03,520 --> 00:40:06,080
Speaker 4: one they always say the draft starts and Mobile. That

898
00:40:06,200 --> 00:40:09,160
Speaker 4: is true. But if you do well here, you're probably

899
00:40:09,160 --> 00:40:11,480
Speaker 4: gonna get an invite to Indianapolis. You can show your

900
00:40:11,480 --> 00:40:15,760
Speaker 4: stuff again and keep trucking and get your name called.

901
00:40:16,200 --> 00:40:16,359
Speaker 1: Well.

902
00:40:16,400 --> 00:40:19,120
Speaker 2: The other thing that you get from it amy is

903
00:40:19,440 --> 00:40:21,880
Speaker 2: you get to meet the people they're making the decisions,

904
00:40:22,520 --> 00:40:24,520
Speaker 2: and you get to sit across from them, just like

905
00:40:24,560 --> 00:40:27,960
Speaker 2: we're sitting across from each other, face to face on

906
00:40:28,080 --> 00:40:31,640
Speaker 2: numerous occasions, to go deep into who you are, what

907
00:40:31,760 --> 00:40:35,279
Speaker 2: you are, why you want to do this. If you

908
00:40:35,280 --> 00:40:37,480
Speaker 2: don't get to know the people they are decision makers,

909
00:40:38,040 --> 00:40:38,960
Speaker 2: you've got no chance.

910
00:40:39,360 --> 00:40:41,800
Speaker 3: You've got no chance. And that's why this is a huge,

911
00:40:41,880 --> 00:40:42,439
Speaker 3: huge thing.

912
00:40:43,080 --> 00:40:45,440
Speaker 1: It is a huge thing, and it is going to

913
00:40:45,480 --> 00:40:48,200
Speaker 1: continue on here in Mobile because just because we are

914
00:40:48,320 --> 00:40:51,640
Speaker 1: leaving does not mean that the Reese senior bol stops. No, no,

915
00:40:51,920 --> 00:40:54,319
Speaker 1: there's more work to be done here, and they were

916
00:40:54,360 --> 00:40:58,479
Speaker 1: going to continue on the game that they are practicing for.

917
00:40:58,640 --> 00:41:01,560
Speaker 1: All of this practice is not for show, folks. There

918
00:41:01,640 --> 00:41:03,799
Speaker 1: is a game that will be played and that is

919
00:41:03,840 --> 00:41:07,120
Speaker 1: on Saturday. It airs on NFL Network at one thirty

920
00:41:07,200 --> 00:41:09,480
Speaker 1: pm Central Time. So if you would like to watch it,

921
00:41:09,800 --> 00:41:11,560
Speaker 1: we recommend that you do. You can see some of

922
00:41:11,600 --> 00:41:15,560
Speaker 1: these people do work for yourself. And that's it for us.

923
00:41:15,719 --> 00:41:19,560
Speaker 1: We are headed back to Nashville to continue through the

924
00:41:19,560 --> 00:41:21,759
Speaker 1: pre draft process. There's more work to be done for

925
00:41:21,840 --> 00:41:24,400
Speaker 1: us too, right mac oh no, no, this is just

926
00:41:24,440 --> 00:41:25,080
Speaker 1: the start of it.

927
00:41:25,520 --> 00:41:26,640
Speaker 3: Let me just tell you about the game.

928
00:41:26,680 --> 00:41:31,680
Speaker 2: I coached the game several times on Saturday, and we're

929
00:41:31,719 --> 00:41:36,080
Speaker 2: in SEC country. It's just like an SEC game. The

930
00:41:36,120 --> 00:41:39,320
Speaker 2: parking lot is full of campers. Everybody's flying a flag,

931
00:41:39,680 --> 00:41:43,560
Speaker 2: they're barbecuing. I mean, it's a huge tailgate thing. And

932
00:41:43,680 --> 00:41:47,359
Speaker 2: this community. Jim brought it up to us again today.

933
00:41:47,400 --> 00:41:52,120
Speaker 2: This community embraces this place, it embraces this event. And

934
00:41:52,800 --> 00:41:55,520
Speaker 2: the first time I ever coached it and pulled up

935
00:41:55,560 --> 00:41:58,200
Speaker 2: there on Saturday, I'm like, hell, this.

936
00:41:58,239 --> 00:41:58,680
Speaker 3: Is a game.

937
00:42:01,520 --> 00:42:03,040
Speaker 4: They do show up, though, I think this is going

938
00:42:03,120 --> 00:42:05,759
Speaker 4: to turn out to be their third consecutive sellout. That's

939
00:42:05,800 --> 00:42:09,240
Speaker 4: twenty five thousand people at you know, Whitney Hancock Stadium

940
00:42:09,280 --> 00:42:11,560
Speaker 4: at South Alabama's campus. So there you are.

941
00:42:11,880 --> 00:42:17,640
Speaker 1: It's awesome. Well for coach Mac, for Ramone Foster, for

942
00:42:17,719 --> 00:42:22,560
Speaker 1: Ret Brian, I'm Amy Wells. Thank you for listening to

943
00:42:22,680 --> 00:42:25,480
Speaker 1: the OTP and we will see you back in Nashville.
