Speaker 1: Indianapolis always is the day by day loss of voice.

22
00:01:21,200 --> 00:01:24,520

Speaker 1: checking in on the status of my voice. But the

27
00:01:38,080 --> 00:01:40,120
Speaker 1: status of the players last night was awesome and we

28
00:01:40,200 --> 00:01:43,120
Speaker 1: had eight different guys run fast forties under four to

29
00:01:43,160 --> 00:01:44,920
Speaker 1: four and that's when the official times came out and

30
00:01:44,959 --> 00:01:48,880
Speaker 1: the quarterbacks actually exceeded expectations. Today, like you said, running

31
00:01:48,920 --> 00:01:51,840
Speaker 1: backs and offensive lineman, NFL network coverage is going to

32
00:01:51,880 --> 00:01:54,040
Speaker 1: start at four pm Eastern. There are some real studs

33
00:01:54,040 --> 00:01:56,360
Speaker 1: in both those groups as far as positions go. But yes,

34
00:01:56,480 --> 00:01:57,920
Speaker 1: my voice, we're gonna be doing all right. When you

35
00:01:57,960 --> 00:02:00,639
Speaker 1: do night and then morning, there's not much sleep in between.

36
00:02:00,720 --> 00:02:02,560
Speaker 1: That's okay, it's what we do. It's the combine. Let's

37
00:02:02,600 --> 00:02:04,640
Speaker 1: rock down. You're having a good time out there, and

38
00:02:04,640 --> 00:02:07,080
Speaker 1: we love it. The twenty two NFL scouting Combine did

39
00:02:07,160 --> 00:02:09,000
Speaker 1: kick off of the bang last night. Like Shrakes is

40
00:02:09,040 --> 00:02:11,880
Speaker 1: saying this quarterback group showed skills for coaches in front

41
00:02:11,880 --> 00:02:14,200
Speaker 1: offices from around the league. Here's how the top of

42
00:02:14,200 --> 00:02:17,120
Speaker 1: the class stats up. Courtesy of a very young Bucky Brooks.

43
00:02:17,160 --> 00:02:20,240
Speaker 1: He got Kenny Pickett as the top quarterback, mac Correl,

44
00:02:21,080 --> 00:02:24,520
Speaker 1: Malique Willis him, how will a Desmond Ritter with, Oh

45
00:02:24,560 --> 00:02:27,880
Speaker 1: my gosh, that speed Correll working through an ankle injury.

46
00:02:27,960 --> 00:02:31,120
Speaker 1: The other four of Bucky's top five we're in action

47
00:02:31,360 --> 00:02:33,799
Speaker 1: last night, So let's just go on the table here

48
00:02:33,800 --> 00:02:36,600
Speaker 1: and talk about what stood out from the quarterbacks night

49
00:02:36,680 --> 00:02:40,519
Speaker 1: one of the scouting Combine and Rob Molique Willis. First

50
00:02:40,520 --> 00:02:43,000
Speaker 1: of all, I did a breakdown on him yesterday. Then

51
00:02:43,040 --> 00:02:46,720
Speaker 1: I go on Instagram. I posted. Then Malik follows me

52
00:02:46,760 --> 00:02:49,880
Speaker 1: on Instagram too, So great job, big dog. Super happy

53
00:02:49,880 --> 00:02:53,119
Speaker 1: about and Buffalo Bills and the Buffalo Bills. I'm having

54
00:02:53,120 --> 00:02:55,200
Speaker 1: a great week. I'm having the best week out for man.

55
00:02:55,280 --> 00:02:58,280
Speaker 1: But I'm following. Yeah, we're checked this out for real.

56
00:02:58,360 --> 00:03:00,520
Speaker 1: Like Malik Willis, he checked all the boxes for me.

57
00:03:00,560 --> 00:03:02,280
Speaker 1: I wanted to see the arm talent. I wanted to

58
00:03:02,280 --> 00:03:05,000
Speaker 1: see the deep ball accuracy. We saw that. I liked

59
00:03:05,040 --> 00:03:07,280
Speaker 1: some of these deep authors like he just would just

60
00:03:07,320 --> 00:03:10,160
Speaker 1: sit on his back foot and wait for the receiver

61
00:03:10,200 --> 00:03:12,000
Speaker 1: to go down there just so he can show off

62
00:03:12,200 --> 00:03:14,640
Speaker 1: the arm. And then some of the intermediate throws, he

63
00:03:14,680 --> 00:03:17,800
Speaker 1: was putting the ball right where the receiver needed to

64
00:03:17,840 --> 00:03:20,440
Speaker 1: get it so that the receiver can do something with

65
00:03:20,520 --> 00:03:22,560
Speaker 1: the football. Today And guys, we all know the video

66
00:03:22,560 --> 00:03:24,680
Speaker 1: of him, you know, giving you know, stuff to a

67
00:03:24,680 --> 00:03:27,680
Speaker 1: homeless person on the side. I just it seems like

68
00:03:27,760 --> 00:03:30,400
Speaker 1: every day that goes by far more in love with

69
00:03:30,440 --> 00:03:33,440
Speaker 1: Malik Willis. And I wish that maybe he had went

70
00:03:33,480 --> 00:03:35,080
Speaker 1: to a bigger school so I could have watched him

71
00:03:35,080 --> 00:03:37,680
Speaker 1: a little bit more during the season. But when you

72
00:03:37,760 --> 00:03:40,240
Speaker 1: transfer from a big school and go to and go

73
00:03:40,320 --> 00:03:42,760
Speaker 1: to a smaller school, you're supposed to stand out. And

74
00:03:42,800 --> 00:03:46,200
Speaker 1: that's exactly what Malik Willis did. He tore liberty in

75
00:03:46,240 --> 00:03:48,440
Speaker 1: that league up and I think this kid is going

76
00:03:48,520 --> 00:03:50,280
Speaker 1: to be a star in this league. He may need

77
00:03:50,320 --> 00:03:52,680
Speaker 1: a year, but that's okay. That used to be the

78
00:03:52,800 --> 00:03:55,760
Speaker 1: norm for first round quarterbacks. I think this kid's a star.

79
00:03:56,040 --> 00:03:58,760
Speaker 1: Don't let him drop too far with what you saw yesterday.

80
00:03:58,760 --> 00:04:00,640
Speaker 1: Do you think that you thought he was a star

81
00:04:00,680 --> 00:04:03,160
Speaker 1: before he yesterday? Did he do something to change other

82
00:04:03,200 --> 00:04:06,040
Speaker 1: people's opinions and what they might have preconceived about his play.

83
00:04:06,200 --> 00:04:07,760
Speaker 1: I look at a lot of little stuff, kay, like

84
00:04:07,920 --> 00:04:10,600
Speaker 1: the confidence walking up to the line of scrimmage to

85
00:04:10,840 --> 00:04:13,360
Speaker 1: get ready to throw the ball, the stature in the pocket,

86
00:04:13,360 --> 00:04:16,080
Speaker 1: how he bounced around, how he talked to guys around him.

87
00:04:16,120 --> 00:04:17,640
Speaker 1: The kid just looked like a star. And then when

88
00:04:17,640 --> 00:04:19,839
Speaker 1: you saw some of his interviews, you hear how smart

89
00:04:19,880 --> 00:04:21,240
Speaker 1: he is on the board, you hear how much he

90
00:04:21,360 --> 00:04:23,760
Speaker 1: knows about offenses, and then you hear him say stuff like,

91
00:04:24,400 --> 00:04:26,440
Speaker 1: how y'all know I'm gonna be a superstar. I'm just

92
00:04:26,520 --> 00:04:29,640
Speaker 1: here trying to make the team. He's realistic, and I

93
00:04:29,640 --> 00:04:32,440
Speaker 1: think he's a football player. First, I'm gonna go with

94
00:04:32,480 --> 00:04:35,719
Speaker 1: the guy who everybody has pretty much in the league,

95
00:04:35,760 --> 00:04:38,520
Speaker 1: the consensus number one quarterback on the board, and Kenny Pickett,

96
00:04:38,560 --> 00:04:40,160
Speaker 1: and what he needed to do and go out there

97
00:04:40,160 --> 00:04:42,520
Speaker 1: and throw. And we're gonna talk about hand size like crazy,

98
00:04:42,560 --> 00:04:45,720
Speaker 1: Austin Powers, Carney small hands, I get it. But what

99
00:04:45,800 --> 00:04:48,479
Speaker 1: he needed to do was confirmed the film that everybody

100
00:04:48,480 --> 00:04:50,640
Speaker 1: has been watching and Rob we always talk about. Really

101
00:04:50,640 --> 00:04:52,720
Speaker 1: the film is the most important part of the evaluation.

102
00:04:52,760 --> 00:04:54,920
Speaker 1: What did they do at the conllegiate level. We went

103
00:04:54,920 --> 00:04:57,719
Speaker 1: out and showed what everybody has seen on the film,

104
00:04:57,760 --> 00:04:59,440
Speaker 1: the way he threw the football, the way he was

105
00:04:59,520 --> 00:05:02,479
Speaker 1: accurate with the football. Let's not forget that's arguably the

106
00:05:02,520 --> 00:05:05,200
Speaker 1: most important thing you can have as a quarterback, which

107
00:05:05,279 --> 00:05:10,200
Speaker 1: is accuracy. He showcased that in these drills. Receivers came

108
00:05:10,200 --> 00:05:12,920
Speaker 1: out of these combined workouts case saying that he throws

109
00:05:13,000 --> 00:05:15,760
Speaker 1: the most catchable ball of all of the guys that

110
00:05:15,800 --> 00:05:19,920
Speaker 1: they were catching footballs from. That's extremely important, that touch,

111
00:05:20,040 --> 00:05:21,880
Speaker 1: that is your feel, that is everything. You talk to

112
00:05:21,880 --> 00:05:24,960
Speaker 1: receivers in the league, A catchable ball is everything to them,

113
00:05:25,000 --> 00:05:26,800
Speaker 1: and some guys can't even explain it. That's always been

114
00:05:27,080 --> 00:05:28,920
Speaker 1: one of my favorite things to ask receivers around the

115
00:05:29,040 --> 00:05:31,400
Speaker 1: NFL is how do you describe a catchable ball? Yeah,

116
00:05:31,560 --> 00:05:34,200
Speaker 1: some guys can't even describe it? Can you describe it?

117
00:05:34,240 --> 00:05:37,800
Speaker 1: And oftentimes some quarterbacks want to show their arms strength

118
00:05:37,800 --> 00:05:39,840
Speaker 1: by just throwing the ball as hard as they possibly can,

119
00:05:40,160 --> 00:05:42,360
Speaker 1: not understanding that there's two parts to a pass. It

120
00:05:42,440 --> 00:05:44,720
Speaker 1: is to throw, but it's also the catch. Usually when

121
00:05:44,720 --> 00:05:46,839
Speaker 1: I talk about a catchable football, it means the nose

122
00:05:47,000 --> 00:05:49,640
Speaker 1: is up when the nose is down. That means somebody's

123
00:05:49,680 --> 00:05:51,120
Speaker 1: getting on top of the ball like a pitcher and

124
00:05:51,120 --> 00:05:53,279
Speaker 1: they're trying to throw a strike to you. And usually

125
00:05:53,320 --> 00:05:57,040
Speaker 1: that's usually the harder catcher. I'll play fullback, so oftentimes

126
00:05:57,120 --> 00:05:59,120
Speaker 1: you want the nose up so it's a very catchable ball.

127
00:05:59,160 --> 00:06:01,839
Speaker 1: But to your point, young quarterbacks don't always understand that

128
00:06:02,040 --> 00:06:04,920
Speaker 1: you have to make the footballs that you throw catchable,

129
00:06:05,040 --> 00:06:06,839
Speaker 1: and so let your guy can catch the ball and

130
00:06:06,880 --> 00:06:08,720
Speaker 1: get going with it. I thought Kenny Pickett did a

131
00:06:08,720 --> 00:06:10,680
Speaker 1: great job. It should do. James is having me go

132
00:06:10,800 --> 00:06:13,400
Speaker 1: out there. He has zero athletic ability, and if I

133
00:06:13,480 --> 00:06:15,880
Speaker 1: can catch it, that makes it a catchable. That should

134
00:06:15,880 --> 00:06:19,480
Speaker 1: be a new combine. That's thrill. You know, how about

135
00:06:19,520 --> 00:06:21,680
Speaker 1: doesn't ridder? So you guys know I love Cincinnati the

136
00:06:21,720 --> 00:06:24,479
Speaker 1: second I heard, Oh this bearcat can fly, he's a winner.

137
00:06:24,560 --> 00:06:26,160
Speaker 1: Let's take a look at him and what he can

138
00:06:26,160 --> 00:06:30,880
Speaker 1: do out there, blazing speed four five two, I think incredible.

139
00:06:31,040 --> 00:06:32,800
Speaker 1: Here's what we knew going into it. We know that

140
00:06:32,839 --> 00:06:35,320
Speaker 1: he's an absolute winner. He was great in college, but

141
00:06:35,440 --> 00:06:37,479
Speaker 1: yesterday he took command and he put himself in that

142
00:06:37,520 --> 00:06:40,800
Speaker 1: same group in that forefront, blazing fast and he threw

143
00:06:40,800 --> 00:06:42,600
Speaker 1: the ball really well in his workouts, and what did

144
00:06:42,600 --> 00:06:45,640
Speaker 1: you see Like, Obviously, he ran faster than I thought

145
00:06:45,640 --> 00:06:48,920
Speaker 1: he would, but he showed great athletic ability. He wasn't

146
00:06:49,000 --> 00:06:52,040
Speaker 1: overstriding on his passes. He's on top of the football

147
00:06:52,360 --> 00:06:54,919
Speaker 1: he has He's using his footwork to drive the ball.

148
00:06:54,960 --> 00:06:57,400
Speaker 1: It's not just throwing the football with his arm. And

149
00:06:57,440 --> 00:06:59,280
Speaker 1: he put the ball in some pretty good places. This

150
00:06:59,360 --> 00:07:01,520
Speaker 1: is what I needed to see from Desmond Ritter. I

151
00:07:01,560 --> 00:07:03,960
Speaker 1: needed to see the arm strength. I needed to see

152
00:07:04,240 --> 00:07:07,280
Speaker 1: him putting the ball in places where the receiver can

153
00:07:07,320 --> 00:07:09,880
Speaker 1: do something with the football. I thought he had a

154
00:07:09,880 --> 00:07:11,720
Speaker 1: great day. I thought he had an excellent day. And

155
00:07:11,800 --> 00:07:14,320
Speaker 1: again they go along with that leadership that he already had.

156
00:07:14,400 --> 00:07:17,040
Speaker 1: It's so interesting, guys, for all this talk about how

157
00:07:17,040 --> 00:07:20,400
Speaker 1: this quarterback class is lacking, it sure sounds like they

158
00:07:20,440 --> 00:07:23,000
Speaker 1: put on the show and momentum is building. Peter's Ringer.

159
00:07:24,400 --> 00:07:27,120
Speaker 1: They sure did. And kay, there's even guys like Carson

160
00:07:27,200 --> 00:07:29,720
Speaker 1: Strong who threw one that went like eighty yards in

161
00:07:29,760 --> 00:07:32,200
Speaker 1: the air and people are like, okay, got to consider

162
00:07:32,240 --> 00:07:34,520
Speaker 1: that too. It was it was deep. The class was deep,

163
00:07:34,560 --> 00:07:36,240
Speaker 1: and it's not top heavy. But the guy at the

164
00:07:36,240 --> 00:07:38,680
Speaker 1: top is Kenny Pickett, and before he even took the field,

165
00:07:38,720 --> 00:07:40,960
Speaker 1: the controversy here or the buzz here, it's about his

166
00:07:41,080 --> 00:07:43,600
Speaker 1: eight and a half inch hands, and we poo poo that,

167
00:07:43,680 --> 00:07:45,800
Speaker 1: we roll our eyes. They say, well, Joe Burrows got nine.

168
00:07:46,080 --> 00:07:49,360
Speaker 1: This would make him the smallest hands at quarterback in

169
00:07:49,400 --> 00:07:52,040
Speaker 1: the entire NFL on his first day in the NFL.

170
00:07:52,440 --> 00:07:54,640
Speaker 1: No active quarterback has smaller hands than eight and a

171
00:07:54,680 --> 00:07:57,280
Speaker 1: half inches. And well, what matters with hands that Well,

172
00:07:57,320 --> 00:08:01,040
Speaker 1: some executives do value it. The Bay Packers, for example,

173
00:08:01,080 --> 00:08:03,000
Speaker 1: of Brett Favan, Aaron Rodgers, who have two of the

174
00:08:03,000 --> 00:08:06,640
Speaker 1: biggest hands in combine history and actually know that in

175
00:08:06,680 --> 00:08:08,960
Speaker 1: the cold weather it does matter. And well, okay, but

176
00:08:09,040 --> 00:08:11,840
Speaker 1: he played at Pittsburgh. He had thirty eight fumbles at Pittsburgh.

177
00:08:11,880 --> 00:08:13,640
Speaker 1: A lot of that could be because a hand size,

178
00:08:13,960 --> 00:08:16,080
Speaker 1: and yet went out there threw the ball in a

179
00:08:16,200 --> 00:08:19,760
Speaker 1: dime last night. Anything he could have done yesterday he did.

180
00:08:19,920 --> 00:08:21,920
Speaker 1: And so you'd like to see those boxes checked. I

181
00:08:21,920 --> 00:08:24,080
Speaker 1: also spoke to one team about Kenny Pickett and he

182
00:08:24,080 --> 00:08:26,440
Speaker 1: said he's the pied piper of this quarterback class. Willis

183
00:08:26,520 --> 00:08:28,760
Speaker 1: is his great personality, but Picket's the guy who's been there,

184
00:08:28,800 --> 00:08:31,280
Speaker 1: done that day one. You can see him starting in

185
00:08:31,320 --> 00:08:34,080
Speaker 1: the NFL for one of these teams. He's engaged. His

186
00:08:34,200 --> 00:08:36,760
Speaker 1: fiance was a former soccer player at Princeston. She works

187
00:08:36,760 --> 00:08:38,800
Speaker 1: at Goldman Sacks as a banker. This is a serious

188
00:08:38,840 --> 00:08:41,120
Speaker 1: guy as the guy who's an adult, and Kenny Pickett

189
00:08:41,240 --> 00:08:43,240
Speaker 1: showed the part, but Willis stole the show last night.

190
00:08:43,280 --> 00:08:45,920
Speaker 1: Willis's deep passes were incredible and Michael Robinson, you hit

191
00:08:45,960 --> 00:08:49,200
Speaker 1: on this. It had people mouth's a gape. He was

192
00:08:49,280 --> 00:08:52,520
Speaker 1: just ripping it. I don't think anyone expected the accuracy

193
00:08:52,559 --> 00:08:55,600
Speaker 1: to go with that deep arm. So his game might

194
00:08:55,679 --> 00:08:59,200
Speaker 1: be a little unpolished, but gosh, it's so was Josh

195
00:08:59,240 --> 00:09:01,240
Speaker 1: Allen's when he was at the combine. He was throwing

196
00:09:01,280 --> 00:09:04,040
Speaker 1: passes like this. So are so many other big arm quarterbacks.

197
00:09:04,080 --> 00:09:06,280
Speaker 1: He just need a little coaching. He went to Auburn,

198
00:09:06,480 --> 00:09:09,520
Speaker 1: lost the job to Bo Nicks. Everyone said, okay, well

199
00:09:09,559 --> 00:09:12,480
Speaker 1: let's see what transfers to liberty bet on himself and

200
00:09:12,520 --> 00:09:14,800
Speaker 1: then tore up that conference. As you said, Mike, I

201
00:09:14,840 --> 00:09:16,920
Speaker 1: think this guy put on a real show. I don't

202
00:09:16,920 --> 00:09:18,280
Speaker 1: know if he's first round. I don't know if he's

203
00:09:18,320 --> 00:09:21,160
Speaker 1: early second round. But everyone who's met him has fallen

204
00:09:21,160 --> 00:09:23,040
Speaker 1: in love with him this week, and everyone who watched

205
00:09:23,120 --> 00:09:25,559
Speaker 1: him throw that deep ball had to at least recognize

206
00:09:25,600 --> 00:09:28,360
Speaker 1: the sheer arm talent that he has given out Where

207
00:09:28,520 --> 00:09:31,000
Speaker 1: more cars. We're gonna talk more about Malik Willis Kenny

208
00:09:31,000 --> 00:09:33,760
Speaker 1: pick at all these quarterbacks. Wow. Wing at the Combine.

209
00:09:33,880 --> 00:09:35,920
Speaker 1: Speed was the theme of the night. The running backs

210
00:09:35,920 --> 00:09:38,800
Speaker 1: and offensive lineman get go and Peter Schrager joining us

211
00:09:38,840 --> 00:09:42,440
Speaker 1: from Indianapolis at the Combine covered all day right here

212
00:09:42,480 --> 00:09:44,319
Speaker 1: on NFL Network. Right now, it's time for a little

213
00:09:44,559 --> 00:09:48,320
Speaker 1: belief believe it or not? All right. Yesterday on a show,

214
00:09:48,320 --> 00:09:50,240
Speaker 1: Peter had the chance to sit down with a new

215
00:09:50,240 --> 00:09:52,280
Speaker 1: head coach of the Dolphins, Mike vic Daniel. They talked

216
00:09:52,280 --> 00:09:55,360
Speaker 1: about the potential of Twatungo Vloa. Listen to what he

217
00:09:55,440 --> 00:09:57,760
Speaker 1: had to say. The guy has some skills and I

218
00:09:57,800 --> 00:10:00,760
Speaker 1: think are untapped. I think it's important that you empower

219
00:10:00,800 --> 00:10:03,680
Speaker 1: the quarterback with the rest of the players around him

220
00:10:03,760 --> 00:10:06,200
Speaker 1: and the scheme that you bring forth. I think his

221
00:10:06,320 --> 00:10:08,680
Speaker 1: best days are in front of him and that's a

222
00:10:08,880 --> 00:10:11,880
Speaker 1: really cool piece of the process to be a part

223
00:10:11,920 --> 00:10:16,000
Speaker 1: of as a coach. Untapped potential now using young by

224
00:10:16,040 --> 00:10:19,120
Speaker 1: your definition whatever that as young quarterbacks. Believe it or not,

225
00:10:19,160 --> 00:10:22,280
Speaker 1: two a tongue of Bloa has the most untapped potential

226
00:10:22,400 --> 00:10:25,160
Speaker 1: of the youngsters in the league today, James, I don't

227
00:10:25,200 --> 00:10:28,360
Speaker 1: believe it. I'm gonna go with somebody else in my

228
00:10:28,480 --> 00:10:31,520
Speaker 1: hometown Philadelphia, Jalen Hurts. I'm gonna say he has the

229
00:10:31,559 --> 00:10:34,400
Speaker 1: most untapped potential for a couple of reasons. I remember

230
00:10:34,440 --> 00:10:37,400
Speaker 1: covering this guy's pro day at Oklahoma and seeing the

231
00:10:37,440 --> 00:10:39,920
Speaker 1: work and talking to his quarterback coach, Quincy Abrian, the

232
00:10:39,960 --> 00:10:42,240
Speaker 1: work that he had put in to get to be

233
00:10:42,320 --> 00:10:45,760
Speaker 1: the passer in that setting where everybody's just evaluating your

234
00:10:45,760 --> 00:10:47,679
Speaker 1: mechanics and all the work he put into that. Then

235
00:10:47,760 --> 00:10:50,000
Speaker 1: you go through his NFL pre in the steps that

236
00:10:50,040 --> 00:10:52,440
Speaker 1: he has made. In Nick Siriani's eyes, who's been with

237
00:10:52,520 --> 00:10:54,920
Speaker 1: him down for just one season, at the beginning of

238
00:10:54,960 --> 00:10:56,600
Speaker 1: the season, you saw a lot of this. You saw

239
00:10:56,640 --> 00:10:58,439
Speaker 1: a lot of when things break down, I'm going to

240
00:10:58,480 --> 00:11:00,840
Speaker 1: scramble and I become a runner. By the end of

241
00:11:00,880 --> 00:11:03,680
Speaker 1: the season. In Sirianni's eyes, it was once things break

242
00:11:03,720 --> 00:11:06,320
Speaker 1: down and I scramble, I am still a passer. And

243
00:11:06,400 --> 00:11:09,160
Speaker 1: that was a big development. That they liked in his game.

244
00:11:09,200 --> 00:11:11,920
Speaker 1: The other one remember the ankle injury where that took

245
00:11:11,920 --> 00:11:14,800
Speaker 1: away a big part of his ability to run. They

246
00:11:14,880 --> 00:11:17,360
Speaker 1: liked the way he became much more of a pocket passer,

247
00:11:17,400 --> 00:11:20,560
Speaker 1: obviously forced into that, but was better being a pocket

248
00:11:20,559 --> 00:11:23,400
Speaker 1: passer when the running aspect of his game was taken away.

249
00:11:23,640 --> 00:11:26,400
Speaker 1: Those are two big aspects of his growth at training

250
00:11:26,440 --> 00:11:28,240
Speaker 1: camp m rob They wanted him to take the bull

251
00:11:28,240 --> 00:11:30,920
Speaker 1: by the horns, how he Roseman their general manager, Nick Sirianni,

252
00:11:31,000 --> 00:11:34,000
Speaker 1: both believe he did exactly that. Nobody questions his leadership,

253
00:11:34,160 --> 00:11:36,200
Speaker 1: Nobody questions what he can do for a locker room,

254
00:11:36,400 --> 00:11:38,599
Speaker 1: and if he can continue to always we know his

255
00:11:38,679 --> 00:11:41,520
Speaker 1: work ethic too, get more out of himself. I think

256
00:11:41,520 --> 00:11:44,040
Speaker 1: that's somebody we're gonna watch and they're just learning that

257
00:11:44,120 --> 00:11:46,480
Speaker 1: offense together. About what they wanted, I'm gonna say two

258
00:11:46,600 --> 00:11:49,480
Speaker 1: was not the young quarterback that has the most untapped potential.

259
00:11:49,760 --> 00:11:52,240
Speaker 1: I'm gonna go with Trey Lance here just because I

260
00:11:52,280 --> 00:11:55,040
Speaker 1: think we saw some parts of Trey Lance that can

261
00:11:55,120 --> 00:11:57,080
Speaker 1: be intrigued, and we saw him running the football. He

262
00:11:57,120 --> 00:12:00,360
Speaker 1: saw Kyle Shanahan, you know, put him in there and

263
00:12:00,760 --> 00:12:03,280
Speaker 1: use his legs a little bit more. But what I

264
00:12:03,360 --> 00:12:06,840
Speaker 1: see from Trey Lance is really the inability to go

265
00:12:07,040 --> 00:12:09,760
Speaker 1: from the first read to the third read. Okay, it

266
00:12:09,840 --> 00:12:11,840
Speaker 1: seems like, and I tell people all the time, when

267
00:12:11,880 --> 00:12:13,880
Speaker 1: you can run the football at the quarterback position, it

268
00:12:13,920 --> 00:12:17,240
Speaker 1: takes a lot of responsibility because essentially you can drop

269
00:12:17,280 --> 00:12:19,360
Speaker 1: back in, you're you're the checkdown every single time. I

270
00:12:19,320 --> 00:12:21,440
Speaker 1: remember Joe Putneo telling me, why would you ever throw

271
00:12:21,480 --> 00:12:23,600
Speaker 1: Mike the fast guy on the field right when you

272
00:12:23,679 --> 00:12:27,200
Speaker 1: have that That type of responsibility at the quarterback position

273
00:12:27,640 --> 00:12:30,880
Speaker 1: is just tough. And so Trey Lance needs to develop

274
00:12:30,960 --> 00:12:32,840
Speaker 1: that part of him going from one to two to

275
00:12:32,920 --> 00:12:35,240
Speaker 1: three or have that making full field read. You saw

276
00:12:35,240 --> 00:12:37,640
Speaker 1: me talking about Malik Willis doing it in college, making

277
00:12:37,640 --> 00:12:39,319
Speaker 1: those full field reads. And I think if he can

278
00:12:39,360 --> 00:12:42,280
Speaker 1: get there, to me, he'd be the guy that I'd

279
00:12:42,320 --> 00:12:48,000
Speaker 1: say has the most un untapped. Certainly enough, if we

280
00:12:48,080 --> 00:12:50,400
Speaker 1: didn't even a little bit, we want to see those

281
00:12:50,440 --> 00:12:53,240
Speaker 1: youngsters right away, shregs, what do you got? Trey Lance

282
00:12:53,280 --> 00:12:54,640
Speaker 1: went third in the draft. I'm gonna go with the

283
00:12:54,679 --> 00:12:57,080
Speaker 1: guy who's taking one pick before him, Zach Wilson with

284
00:12:57,120 --> 00:12:59,200
Speaker 1: the Jets. I thought Zach Wilson was just thrown into

285
00:12:59,240 --> 00:13:02,360
Speaker 1: the fire immediately without a real veteran quarterback behind him.

286
00:13:02,400 --> 00:13:05,680
Speaker 1: It was the same summer that his quarterbacks coach, Greg

287
00:13:05,760 --> 00:13:08,680
Speaker 1: nav unfortunately passed away while while they were working on

288
00:13:08,720 --> 00:13:11,560
Speaker 1: a plan to how to work with Zach Wilson. The

289
00:13:11,679 --> 00:13:14,760
Speaker 1: coaching we got to see what happens. But Michae la

290
00:13:14,800 --> 00:13:18,360
Speaker 1: Floor has worked with Garoppolo for years and also has

291
00:13:18,360 --> 00:13:21,199
Speaker 1: been in that San Francisco forty nine ers organization. Gotta

292
00:13:21,240 --> 00:13:24,240
Speaker 1: think that year two, Zach Wilson, who came along at

293
00:13:24,240 --> 00:13:26,360
Speaker 1: the end, he was good at those last few weeks

294
00:13:26,360 --> 00:13:28,160
Speaker 1: of the season. Remember that Tampa game he went toe

295
00:13:28,200 --> 00:13:31,120
Speaker 1: to Toea Brady. It's got a crazy arm, but he

296
00:13:31,120 --> 00:13:33,160
Speaker 1: didn't know how to really read a defense and he

297
00:13:33,160 --> 00:13:34,920
Speaker 1: didn't know how to read an offense. Last year, it

298
00:13:35,000 --> 00:13:37,160
Speaker 1: wasn't until Joe Flacco came as his backup that he

299
00:13:37,400 --> 00:13:39,960
Speaker 1: really started to feel a little bit of confidence and

300
00:13:39,960 --> 00:13:42,360
Speaker 1: seemed to look to part. I think every Jets fan

301
00:13:42,480 --> 00:13:44,719
Speaker 1: knows the month of December is what you're looking at,

302
00:13:44,880 --> 00:13:47,640
Speaker 1: and that potential started to reveal itself. I'm gonna say

303
00:13:47,760 --> 00:13:50,040
Speaker 1: Zach Wilson, who if he had thrown last night, would

304
00:13:50,040 --> 00:13:51,880
Speaker 1: have had a better arm than all those quarterbacks there

305
00:13:51,880 --> 00:13:54,120
Speaker 1: just was no combine last year. He still has that

306
00:13:54,200 --> 00:13:56,280
Speaker 1: cannon and can do those Aaron Rodgers like things that

307
00:13:56,280 --> 00:13:58,719
Speaker 1: the Jets took him second overall to justify that t

308
00:13:59,080 --> 00:14:01,160
Speaker 1: has a level of his game that we maybe haven't seen.

309
00:14:01,200 --> 00:14:03,080
Speaker 1: I agree with Mike McDaniel there, but I think he

310
00:14:03,160 --> 00:14:07,080
Speaker 1: was supported bettersbout you guys are saying than quarterbacks that

311
00:14:07,120 --> 00:14:09,480
Speaker 1: have more physical ability. I'll just throw in justin fields

312
00:14:09,520 --> 00:14:13,800
Speaker 1: and Trevor Lawrence as physically justin fields though, because he's

313
00:14:13,880 --> 00:14:15,880
Speaker 1: got what it takes. It's untapped because I think of

314
00:14:15,920 --> 00:14:19,520
Speaker 1: what was around him, how he was used and all

315
00:14:19,520 --> 00:14:22,160
Speaker 1: of that. So yeah, so sorry, sorry too, We love you,

316
00:14:22,320 --> 00:14:23,960
Speaker 1: but I just feel like we saw Trevor and Justin

317
00:14:24,040 --> 00:14:27,000
Speaker 1: really struggle at points in twenty twenty one in offenses

318
00:14:27,040 --> 00:14:30,480
Speaker 1: that didn't really seem set up for them to succeeds.

319
00:14:30,480 --> 00:14:32,360
Speaker 1: So those are two guys that I'm looking forward to

320
00:14:32,400 --> 00:14:34,400
Speaker 1: seeing this yere. You know, okay, but even as you

321
00:14:34,440 --> 00:14:38,200
Speaker 1: talk about justin fields here, we can see some of

322
00:14:38,200 --> 00:14:41,680
Speaker 1: the physical skills. When you just look at Trevor Lawrence,

323
00:14:42,000 --> 00:14:44,240
Speaker 1: you can see it like you may not know if

324
00:14:44,240 --> 00:14:46,000
Speaker 1: he made the right read, but you can see the

325
00:14:46,040 --> 00:14:48,360
Speaker 1: ball come out of his hands, like right, you can

326
00:14:48,400 --> 00:14:51,640
Speaker 1: see the physical tools. And I think that's why you

327
00:14:51,680 --> 00:14:54,720
Speaker 1: don't always get the buy in on tour because when

328
00:14:54,720 --> 00:14:57,600
Speaker 1: you watch on take, you know sometimes the passes are

329
00:14:57,640 --> 00:15:04,120
Speaker 1: just average. You don't see nothing. Pops think you gotta

330
00:15:04,160 --> 00:15:06,640
Speaker 1: stand out. Like if I'm just if I'm watching take

331
00:15:07,040 --> 00:15:10,320
Speaker 1: and you just are a guy, I'm not gonna remember you. Wow,

332
00:15:10,920 --> 00:15:13,680
Speaker 1: what is untapped? Are we talking about one of these

333
00:15:13,680 --> 00:15:16,320
Speaker 1: guys and all of them in terms of how low

334
00:15:16,800 --> 00:15:19,800
Speaker 1: did they start to where they're gonna get? No, I'm

335
00:15:19,800 --> 00:15:22,960
Speaker 1: trying to Traders was a good one because he's probably

336
00:15:23,360 --> 00:15:26,920
Speaker 1: could be really good Rath's talon, athleticism, all of that,

337
00:15:26,960 --> 00:15:28,800
Speaker 1: but we didn't see enough of it and they can't

338
00:15:28,800 --> 00:15:31,240
Speaker 1: get more out of him? Or how are their offenses

339
00:15:31,280 --> 00:15:32,920
Speaker 1: that up? That might change because that's what he sort

340
00:15:32,960 --> 00:15:35,200
Speaker 1: of was saying about Tua right, that it was untapped,

341
00:15:35,200 --> 00:15:37,880
Speaker 1: that they maybe didn't put him in the right position.

342
00:15:37,960 --> 00:15:40,360
Speaker 1: I would argue that Tua was probably in a good

343
00:15:40,400 --> 00:15:42,920
Speaker 1: position though last year I thought he was and I

344
00:15:42,960 --> 00:15:46,760
Speaker 1: thought the play caller tried to help him out by

345
00:15:46,760 --> 00:15:49,120
Speaker 1: getting the ball out of his hands. Understanding the offensive

346
00:15:49,160 --> 00:15:51,360
Speaker 1: line in front of him, all understanding he didn't have

347
00:15:51,400 --> 00:15:54,240
Speaker 1: a crazy amount of weapons. They moved wattle around and

348
00:15:54,320 --> 00:15:57,000
Speaker 1: it seemed like eighty five different positions and they still

349
00:15:57,080 --> 00:15:58,920
Speaker 1: found a way to get the football to them. But again,

350
00:15:58,960 --> 00:16:01,840
Speaker 1: it's not like it watching a lot of this and

351
00:16:02,120 --> 00:16:06,800
Speaker 1: you're seeing big, strong arm throws going into super tight window.

352
00:16:06,960 --> 00:16:09,200
Speaker 1: These are all play designs. Yeah, I think he's saying

353
00:16:09,360 --> 00:16:11,800
Speaker 1: I'm going to run the ball and help him out well,

354
00:16:13,520 --> 00:16:17,040
Speaker 1: but how is running the ball untapped potential? For two? Agree?

355
00:16:17,120 --> 00:16:20,040
Speaker 1: I don't know. We're looking at like I'm trying to

356
00:16:20,040 --> 00:16:21,840
Speaker 1: figure this out in front, Like did you have to

357
00:16:21,960 --> 00:16:25,920
Speaker 1: struggle to have the most untapped ability? That hasn't been

358
00:16:25,960 --> 00:16:28,600
Speaker 1: brought out yet? Like to me, we're talking to young quarterbacks.

359
00:16:28,920 --> 00:16:31,640
Speaker 1: Joe Burrow is flourished, right, He's only played one full

360
00:16:31,720 --> 00:16:34,800
Speaker 1: NFL season. Why can't we say he has the most

361
00:16:34,880 --> 00:16:38,080
Speaker 1: untapped potential because he's his floor is already up here.

362
00:16:38,200 --> 00:16:41,480
Speaker 1: But if his floors already appear and he processes information

363
00:16:41,520 --> 00:16:44,360
Speaker 1: faster than anybody, he is, recall is through the roof.

364
00:16:44,360 --> 00:16:46,280
Speaker 1: He has the ability to grow and change throughout a

365
00:16:46,280 --> 00:16:48,720
Speaker 1: season tremendously, and he has an offseason this year where

366
00:16:48,720 --> 00:16:50,960
Speaker 1: he doesn't have to worry about rehabbing just because his

367
00:16:51,000 --> 00:16:54,200
Speaker 1: floor is here. Maybe he has the most unwell because

368
00:16:54,240 --> 00:16:56,200
Speaker 1: you can do more with him because he's more talented

369
00:16:56,240 --> 00:16:58,200
Speaker 1: as opposed to some guys that we're talking about here.

370
00:16:58,240 --> 00:17:00,480
Speaker 1: I'm rob that might be limited in some kind pacity.

371
00:17:01,400 --> 00:17:02,920
Speaker 1: You'll have to find ways to win with it. To

372
00:17:03,040 --> 00:17:05,560
Speaker 1: your point, joe Joey burrowed a minute he stepped on

373
00:17:05,600 --> 00:17:08,080
Speaker 1: the field, they were going empty. You saw players not

374
00:17:08,240 --> 00:17:11,240
Speaker 1: being as undisciplined as they were before. Joey Burrow showed

375
00:17:11,320 --> 00:17:14,480
Speaker 1: all of his potential. Since he's topped out, I say,

376
00:17:14,520 --> 00:17:16,240
Speaker 1: and he's topped out, he could get better, you know

377
00:17:16,240 --> 00:17:17,560
Speaker 1: what I mean. He can get you know, his arm

378
00:17:17,600 --> 00:17:19,440
Speaker 1: can get a little stronger, all of those things. But

379
00:17:19,600 --> 00:17:22,960
Speaker 1: I mean, Joey Burrow changed the entire city as this

380
00:17:23,080 --> 00:17:28,400
Speaker 1: and that, well, you change the entire segment. I think

381
00:17:28,400 --> 00:17:30,119
Speaker 1: it's quite all right to do it just on this

382
00:17:30,160 --> 00:17:32,439
Speaker 1: topic alone, because McDaniel was sitting here next to me,

383
00:17:32,480 --> 00:17:34,280
Speaker 1: and ye know. The point is this, when they had

384
00:17:34,359 --> 00:17:36,560
Speaker 1: Robert Griffin in Washington and he had that Rookie of

385
00:17:36,560 --> 00:17:38,600
Speaker 1: the Year season beating out Andrew Luck, one of his

386
00:17:38,640 --> 00:17:41,119
Speaker 1: offensive coaches was Mike McDaniel and Matt Ryan had that

387
00:17:41,200 --> 00:17:44,399
Speaker 1: come from nowhere MVP season. One of his offensive coaches

388
00:17:44,480 --> 00:17:46,600
Speaker 1: was Mike McDaniel, then Jimmy Garoppolo of course the last

389
00:17:46,640 --> 00:17:48,960
Speaker 1: few years. So Mike McDaniel had success with guys who

390
00:17:49,080 --> 00:17:51,159
Speaker 1: previous to him showing up there or even in the

391
00:17:51,240 --> 00:17:53,239
Speaker 1: rookie years, has gotten the most out of them. But

392
00:17:53,320 --> 00:17:56,919
Speaker 1: I look at players like Jamis Winston, Carson Wentz, Daniel Jones,

393
00:17:57,040 --> 00:18:00,719
Speaker 1: Sam Darnold sometimes we always are just waiting for it

394
00:18:00,720 --> 00:18:03,320
Speaker 1: to happen, and they are what they are after three years.

395
00:18:03,359 --> 00:18:06,040
Speaker 1: I think this is the year two, a year three

396
00:18:06,160 --> 00:18:09,800
Speaker 1: offensive head coach, great offensive staff that they built over there.

397
00:18:10,280 --> 00:18:12,720
Speaker 1: If two's not the guy this year, and yeah they

398
00:18:12,720 --> 00:18:14,320
Speaker 1: won ten games and all that, but if he's not

399
00:18:14,359 --> 00:18:16,280
Speaker 1: the guy leading the team, it might be time to

400
00:18:16,320 --> 00:18:18,479
Speaker 1: look at other options there, and Mike McDaniel, as an

401
00:18:18,480 --> 00:18:20,760
Speaker 1: offensive head coach will know if this guy's got the

402
00:18:20,800 --> 00:18:36,600
Speaker 1: goods or not. My name's Kay Adams. Thank you for

403
00:18:36,680 --> 00:18:39,639
Speaker 1: joining our show. We are presented by Ram on a Friday,

404
00:18:39,720 --> 00:18:43,520
Speaker 1: little Loopie here in studio, Peter Schrager, a bit voiceless,

405
00:18:43,600 --> 00:18:46,399
Speaker 1: a bit raspy out there in India, which means it

406
00:18:46,520 --> 00:18:49,240
Speaker 1: was a great time at the scouting combine presented by

407
00:18:49,280 --> 00:18:52,280
Speaker 1: Bison last night was awesome. We had the quarterbacks and

408
00:18:52,320 --> 00:18:55,600
Speaker 1: the wide receivers. Today we're gonna have the running backs

409
00:18:55,600 --> 00:18:58,480
Speaker 1: and the offensive lineman, really good offensive lineman class, a

410
00:18:58,480 --> 00:19:00,640
Speaker 1: couple of big, physical guys and also some really mean,

411
00:19:00,760 --> 00:19:03,280
Speaker 1: contimidating interior alignment. I can't wait to see these guys

412
00:19:03,280 --> 00:19:05,440
Speaker 1: work out, and then the running backs class very deep.

413
00:19:05,760 --> 00:19:08,320
Speaker 1: We're here. It's an empty stadium. I see Ryan Clark

414
00:19:08,320 --> 00:19:10,080
Speaker 1: and Mike tan Mount to my left, and it's me

415
00:19:10,160 --> 00:19:13,240
Speaker 1: and the guys here from NFL Network. Let's go, let's

416
00:19:13,280 --> 00:19:20,040
Speaker 1: do it. Okay, it's not like the quarterbacks, tight ends

417
00:19:20,119 --> 00:19:22,399
Speaker 1: and wide receivers all put on the show last night

418
00:19:22,400 --> 00:19:25,800
Speaker 1: at Lucas Oil and Night one twenty twenty two NFL

419
00:19:25,840 --> 00:19:28,760
Speaker 1: Scout and Tomback person by Verizon Gaz a group deep

420
00:19:28,880 --> 00:19:31,360
Speaker 1: of receivers coming into the league. Of course, our own

421
00:19:31,440 --> 00:19:35,920
Speaker 1: drafted guru, Januel Jeremiah, had his mock draft and has

422
00:19:36,040 --> 00:19:38,840
Speaker 1: five wide receivers coming off the board. If that dude

423
00:19:38,880 --> 00:19:42,600
Speaker 1: goes the Buffalo, Oh, we're running a super Bowl. Come on,

424
00:19:42,760 --> 00:19:45,240
Speaker 1: trail on, let's go. Wow, they followed you on Twitter

425
00:19:45,280 --> 00:19:49,879
Speaker 1: and now it's a weave Super Bowl? Are you kidding me?

426
00:19:49,880 --> 00:19:52,960
Speaker 1: I wear Bengal shirts that there's a lot of talent

427
00:19:53,040 --> 00:19:54,800
Speaker 1: in all shapes and size of a lot of speed.

428
00:19:54,880 --> 00:19:58,440
Speaker 1: Speed was the thing quarterbacks with everybody? What stood out

429
00:19:58,480 --> 00:20:01,040
Speaker 1: to you from the receiver a night one of the

430
00:20:01,160 --> 00:20:05,520
Speaker 1: twenty twenty two NFL scouting on Mine James, I find

431
00:20:05,560 --> 00:20:07,959
Speaker 1: something really interesting there on DJ's board that we just

432
00:20:08,000 --> 00:20:10,280
Speaker 1: looked at, and you see Chris Lave from Ohio State

433
00:20:10,280 --> 00:20:14,919
Speaker 1: at seventeen, Garrett Wilson from Ohio State at nineteen. Throughout

434
00:20:14,960 --> 00:20:18,080
Speaker 1: the end of the college football season and leading into

435
00:20:18,080 --> 00:20:20,879
Speaker 1: this process, I was hearing from teams saying Garrett Wilson

436
00:20:20,960 --> 00:20:23,399
Speaker 1: is a number one in this league. Chris Lave is

437
00:20:23,440 --> 00:20:27,399
Speaker 1: a great number two. Well, this board has the number

438
00:20:27,440 --> 00:20:31,560
Speaker 1: two going ahead of the number one considered from Ohio State.

439
00:20:31,600 --> 00:20:35,959
Speaker 1: And Chris Lave just runs so effortlessly. His official time,

440
00:20:36,359 --> 00:20:41,119
Speaker 1: I believe was four three nine in the forty and

441
00:20:41,240 --> 00:20:43,000
Speaker 1: the way he was able to go out there, catch

442
00:20:43,040 --> 00:20:45,680
Speaker 1: the football, make plays, catch the deep ball, the way

443
00:20:45,680 --> 00:20:47,920
Speaker 1: he finds that second gear. With a couple of these

444
00:20:47,960 --> 00:20:50,280
Speaker 1: quarterbacks really trying to we know they're trying to unleash it.

445
00:20:50,320 --> 00:20:53,160
Speaker 1: We're talking about it from the receiver's perspective. Now, when

446
00:20:53,160 --> 00:20:54,840
Speaker 1: they really want to throw that deep ball, you got

447
00:20:54,840 --> 00:20:56,720
Speaker 1: to find that sect right there, that second gear that

448
00:20:56,800 --> 00:20:59,240
Speaker 1: Chris Lave can find. He would be a great compliment

449
00:20:59,280 --> 00:21:02,360
Speaker 1: to the Chargers. And then with Garrett Wilson. He goes

450
00:21:02,400 --> 00:21:04,680
Speaker 1: out and yesterday on the show, I said, people want

451
00:21:04,720 --> 00:21:08,160
Speaker 1: to see his speed. If time he's gonna jump up,

452
00:21:08,240 --> 00:21:10,760
Speaker 1: he runs a four to three eight better than Chris

453
00:21:10,880 --> 00:21:13,560
Speaker 1: Lave And that was one of the things that jumped

454
00:21:13,560 --> 00:21:17,920
Speaker 1: out at me tremendously in yesterday's workout. He didn't think

455
00:21:17,920 --> 00:21:19,840
Speaker 1: his routes were as clean as he wanted them to be.

456
00:21:19,880 --> 00:21:21,760
Speaker 1: He's one of the best route runners in football, probably

457
00:21:21,800 --> 00:21:24,439
Speaker 1: because his standards are obviously very high. He wants to

458
00:21:24,440 --> 00:21:26,480
Speaker 1: showcase that at his pro day, apparently that he's going

459
00:21:26,560 --> 00:21:27,920
Speaker 1: to take that up a niche and I'm a stick

460
00:21:27,920 --> 00:21:31,040
Speaker 1: in the state of Ohio for one more receiver in

461
00:21:31,119 --> 00:21:33,840
Speaker 1: Alex Pierce from Cincinnati. This is a guy who played

462
00:21:34,200 --> 00:21:40,000
Speaker 1: linebacker at Cincinnati, has a track background, has a volleyball background,

463
00:21:40,119 --> 00:21:43,000
Speaker 1: and he goes out and has a vert over forty

464
00:21:43,240 --> 00:21:45,840
Speaker 1: forty and a half, runs a four four one with

465
00:21:45,880 --> 00:21:48,199
Speaker 1: a ten nine broad jump, the fourth fastest time at

466
00:21:48,200 --> 00:21:51,800
Speaker 1: the shuttle. He was measured in at six three two eleven.

467
00:21:52,160 --> 00:21:55,760
Speaker 1: This is an interesting, interesting prospect to go and look

468
00:21:55,920 --> 00:22:00,320
Speaker 1: forty dunk how his wife. What I'd like them to do,

469
00:22:00,480 --> 00:22:02,280
Speaker 1: k is add that into the next con and your

470
00:22:02,640 --> 00:22:04,720
Speaker 1: you do your regular vert and you jump up in touch.

471
00:22:04,920 --> 00:22:07,240
Speaker 1: Then you do the vert in a five forty and

472
00:22:07,320 --> 00:22:09,320
Speaker 1: a touch and see where your vert's out there. Alan

473
00:22:09,400 --> 00:22:12,480
Speaker 1: Pearce is gonna be I guarantee you that is a

474
00:22:12,560 --> 00:22:15,439
Speaker 1: piece to have on your roster. Yeah, Festal teams like

475
00:22:16,560 --> 00:22:18,640
Speaker 1: he's a weapon. I wouldn't want to block that dude,

476
00:22:18,640 --> 00:22:20,200
Speaker 1: block and punts and all that. Oh, I can see

477
00:22:20,200 --> 00:22:22,199
Speaker 1: it already. But I did think Garrett Wilson, he made

478
00:22:22,240 --> 00:22:24,560
Speaker 1: some money yesterday. He had to show the speed. So look,

479
00:22:24,600 --> 00:22:27,920
Speaker 1: every offseason I get called from different universities to go

480
00:22:28,160 --> 00:22:30,840
Speaker 1: around the country and speak to their teams beforehand. We

481
00:22:30,880 --> 00:22:33,520
Speaker 1: talked about leadership, going overcoming adversity, all that stuff. I

482
00:22:33,560 --> 00:22:37,600
Speaker 1: went to Memphis this past year and coach Ryan Silverfield

483
00:22:37,720 --> 00:22:41,000
Speaker 1: does a great job communicating things with his team. And

484
00:22:41,160 --> 00:22:44,480
Speaker 1: this kid, Calvin Austin the third, that's all he kept

485
00:22:44,520 --> 00:22:46,840
Speaker 1: telling me about like, like Mike, this dude is the guy.

486
00:22:46,920 --> 00:22:49,119
Speaker 1: He is the guy, and he showed up what was

487
00:22:49,119 --> 00:22:51,480
Speaker 1: it a four two eight or fourty three two? He

488
00:22:51,600 --> 00:22:54,400
Speaker 1: was fast. I thought he showed great hands, and I

489
00:22:54,440 --> 00:22:57,480
Speaker 1: think he's smaller in stature. But you talk about from

490
00:22:57,480 --> 00:23:00,440
Speaker 1: a return standpoint, you talk about from handing him the

491
00:23:00,480 --> 00:23:03,879
Speaker 1: ball on flash sweeps and things like that, that's real speed.

492
00:23:04,000 --> 00:23:06,840
Speaker 1: That's what you know. Guys like Percy Harvin show could

493
00:23:06,840 --> 00:23:09,040
Speaker 1: be done in the National Football League. That's the Tyrek Hill.

494
00:23:09,080 --> 00:23:12,200
Speaker 1: Now that's that wide receiver who's really like a wing

495
00:23:12,320 --> 00:23:14,440
Speaker 1: running back type of guy. You get the ball in

496
00:23:14,520 --> 00:23:16,520
Speaker 1: his hands and he's a tough tackle. I thought he

497
00:23:16,560 --> 00:23:20,600
Speaker 1: did great showing his speed. It did Trey Lion Burks,

498
00:23:20,720 --> 00:23:23,119
Speaker 1: I mean to be that big six what is he

499
00:23:23,200 --> 00:23:26,959
Speaker 1: six three six four, two hundred and twenty five pounds?

500
00:23:27,000 --> 00:23:29,000
Speaker 1: He ran a four or five five. That's what I

501
00:23:29,000 --> 00:23:31,160
Speaker 1: needed to see. He ran a four or five five.

502
00:23:31,280 --> 00:23:34,240
Speaker 1: I saw him running his route, seeking his hips, getting

503
00:23:34,240 --> 00:23:37,639
Speaker 1: in and out of his brakes like this, seeking your hips.

504
00:23:37,680 --> 00:23:40,760
Speaker 1: Being that big running that fast, that's very tough. A

505
00:23:40,760 --> 00:23:42,919
Speaker 1: lot of guys get knee problems and things like that.

506
00:23:42,960 --> 00:23:45,840
Speaker 1: I thought he caught the ball well and hopefully and

507
00:23:45,920 --> 00:23:48,720
Speaker 1: he goes up go on to Buffalo. Oh my goodness,

508
00:23:49,040 --> 00:23:51,240
Speaker 1: moving to me, so I might need some help finders

509
00:23:51,240 --> 00:23:54,919
Speaker 1: and real estate guys. Show me Buffalo speeders the game, right,

510
00:23:54,960 --> 00:23:58,320
Speaker 1: it was nine guys, nine wide receivers posting sub four

511
00:23:58,480 --> 00:24:01,720
Speaker 1: four or forty times yesterday. That's insane. And then there's

512
00:24:01,760 --> 00:24:05,080
Speaker 1: the projected first round starters that we didn't even see

513
00:24:05,160 --> 00:24:07,840
Speaker 1: Jamison Williams. We of course Drake London didn't even go

514
00:24:07,880 --> 00:24:10,199
Speaker 1: out there and do a thing. Just incredible shrinks. What

515
00:24:10,280 --> 00:24:12,480
Speaker 1: stood out to you, my friend? Yeah, the speed was

516
00:24:12,520 --> 00:24:14,600
Speaker 1: on display, Ka and you mentioned it. We could take

517
00:24:14,640 --> 00:24:16,439
Speaker 1: a look at all these names. These are gentlemen who

518
00:24:16,520 --> 00:24:20,240
Speaker 1: ran sub four four yesterday and at forty and it's

519
00:24:20,280 --> 00:24:23,280
Speaker 1: not one or two guys like years past. We've got

520
00:24:23,320 --> 00:24:26,239
Speaker 1: eight different guys doing it. And like bow Melton ran

521
00:24:26,280 --> 00:24:27,879
Speaker 1: a four to three four and a four through four

522
00:24:27,880 --> 00:24:29,560
Speaker 1: to three six. He didn't hear his name once on

523
00:24:29,560 --> 00:24:31,880
Speaker 1: the broadcast because there were guys who were blazing past them.

524
00:24:31,920 --> 00:24:33,600
Speaker 1: But if you were, you know, go back to two

525
00:24:33,600 --> 00:24:36,200
Speaker 1: thousand and eight or two thousand nine or two fifteen,

526
00:24:36,240 --> 00:24:38,360
Speaker 1: whatever it is, we'd be talking about bow Melton this morning.

527
00:24:38,400 --> 00:24:40,840
Speaker 1: It just seems like the speed was on display last night.

528
00:24:40,880 --> 00:24:43,120
Speaker 1: And I want to look at two different players in particular.

529
00:24:43,240 --> 00:24:45,560
Speaker 1: One of them is Sky Moore, who actually his official

530
00:24:45,800 --> 00:24:47,680
Speaker 1: was a four four one, so we didn't even make

531
00:24:47,720 --> 00:24:50,439
Speaker 1: that list. But Skymore comes out of Western Michigan. He

532
00:24:50,560 --> 00:24:52,800
Speaker 1: measured with the largest hands of any receivers, with a

533
00:24:52,880 --> 00:24:55,800
Speaker 1: ten and a quarter inch hand. Sky played at Western

534
00:24:55,880 --> 00:24:59,240
Speaker 1: mish like I said, had ninety five catches last year

535
00:24:59,320 --> 00:25:03,160
Speaker 1: and was amazing last night and so smooth in the drills.

536
00:25:03,600 --> 00:25:05,639
Speaker 1: Is he a first round pick? He might be, or

537
00:25:05,680 --> 00:25:08,120
Speaker 1: he's gonna be an early second round pick. This guy

538
00:25:08,560 --> 00:25:12,680
Speaker 1: is from Pittsburgh. His high school quarterback was Mike Tomlin's son.

539
00:25:13,000 --> 00:25:15,600
Speaker 1: How cool is that? So if you're a Pittsburgh Steelers fan,

540
00:25:15,880 --> 00:25:18,960
Speaker 1: just know that there is a relationship there already. Skymore

541
00:25:19,040 --> 00:25:21,439
Speaker 1: was great yesterday. He made himself some money, as Mike

542
00:25:21,520 --> 00:25:24,160
Speaker 1: Robertson likes to say. The other one is Christian Watson,

543
00:25:24,200 --> 00:25:26,919
Speaker 1: who comes in as a six four range wide receiver

544
00:25:26,960 --> 00:25:29,680
Speaker 1: at a North Dakota State. He was Trey Lance's number

545
00:25:29,680 --> 00:25:31,679
Speaker 1: one option two years ago and last year had a

546
00:25:31,680 --> 00:25:34,399
Speaker 1: great year again led the team in receiving when he

547
00:25:34,440 --> 00:25:37,520
Speaker 1: was with Trey Lance those years beforehand, impossible to ignore

548
00:25:37,520 --> 00:25:40,760
Speaker 1: and look at his measurables here six four two ten,

549
00:25:41,359 --> 00:25:45,400
Speaker 1: four three, six forty like a gazelle out there, so graceful.

550
00:25:45,640 --> 00:25:48,359
Speaker 1: I mentioned these two players because it's Western Michigan and

551
00:25:48,400 --> 00:25:50,600
Speaker 1: it's North Dakota State, and we have seen in the

552
00:25:50,680 --> 00:25:53,159
Speaker 1: last couple of years guys out of LSU in Alabama

553
00:25:53,200 --> 00:25:55,399
Speaker 1: tear up the league. But don't forget. You've had guys

554
00:25:55,400 --> 00:25:57,720
Speaker 1: like Antonio Brown out of Central Michigan. You've of course

555
00:25:57,760 --> 00:26:00,400
Speaker 1: had Jerry Rice out of Mississippi Valley State. You've even

556
00:26:00,400 --> 00:26:02,480
Speaker 1: had guys like Greg Jennings who went to Western Michigan

557
00:26:02,520 --> 00:26:04,920
Speaker 1: as well, who have made huge impacts, but were not

558
00:26:04,960 --> 00:26:09,080
Speaker 1: necessarily those guys going into the Combine skymore Christian Watson,

559
00:26:09,320 --> 00:26:12,240
Speaker 1: smallest school guys, not the Vision three, the smallest who

560
00:26:12,280 --> 00:26:14,600
Speaker 1: I think made themselves a lot of money last night. Also,

561
00:26:15,040 --> 00:26:17,760
Speaker 1: not only was I impressed with the speed of these guys,

562
00:26:17,920 --> 00:26:20,439
Speaker 1: but the maturity of their route running. You talk to

563
00:26:20,480 --> 00:26:23,359
Speaker 1: any receive, all the great ones, they barely run full

564
00:26:23,400 --> 00:26:25,440
Speaker 1: speed on their routes. And so for these guys to

565
00:26:25,600 --> 00:26:27,639
Speaker 1: run full speed route for these they can show off

566
00:26:27,680 --> 00:26:30,560
Speaker 1: their speed, then have the wherewithal and the control while

567
00:26:30,560 --> 00:26:32,920
Speaker 1: they're running their routes to be smoothed in and out

568
00:26:32,920 --> 00:26:35,560
Speaker 1: of breaks. I just thought from a class perspective, just

569
00:26:35,640 --> 00:26:38,040
Speaker 1: in general, I thought the pass catchers were very much

570
00:26:38,040 --> 00:26:40,880
Speaker 1: more refined than in other years. Maybe not the top

571
00:26:40,960 --> 00:26:42,960
Speaker 1: dogs like we've seen in other years, but the whole

572
00:26:43,000 --> 00:26:45,560
Speaker 1: group collectively, they did a great job. Shrakes, is there

573
00:26:45,560 --> 00:26:47,760
Speaker 1: a clear front runner in your opinion in this receiver

574
00:26:47,840 --> 00:26:50,960
Speaker 1: group who helped their stock more than anybody else. Now,

575
00:26:51,000 --> 00:26:53,439
Speaker 1: the two Ohio State kids, like James said, put on

576
00:26:53,440 --> 00:26:55,040
Speaker 1: a show last night. But the fact that we didn't

577
00:26:55,040 --> 00:26:56,800
Speaker 1: have Jamison Williams out there, in the fact we didn't

578
00:26:56,800 --> 00:26:59,119
Speaker 1: have Drake London, it's gonna be what do you prefer?

579
00:26:59,280 --> 00:27:01,200
Speaker 1: I think they all I'm in different shapes and sizes.

580
00:27:01,240 --> 00:27:03,760
Speaker 1: I mean Calvin Austin, who MicroB mentioned is five foot

581
00:27:03,840 --> 00:27:06,119
Speaker 1: seven and he's quick, and he's got crazy twitch, and

582
00:27:06,119 --> 00:27:08,960
Speaker 1: he's got Drake London is six foot five. So where

583
00:27:08,960 --> 00:27:10,840
Speaker 1: do you want your receiver? What are you looking for?

584
00:27:11,000 --> 00:27:13,439
Speaker 1: And every team's board could be different. Remember last year

585
00:27:13,520 --> 00:27:15,720
Speaker 1: my last point here, the Miami Dolphins had Jail and

586
00:27:15,760 --> 00:27:18,800
Speaker 1: Waddle above Jamar Chase on their board. The Bengals had

587
00:27:18,880 --> 00:27:21,760
Speaker 1: Jamar Chase above Jail and Waddle. They both had great seasons.

588
00:27:21,760 --> 00:27:25,119
Speaker 1: They went five and six different teams, different boards, different

589
00:27:25,200 --> 00:27:27,239
Speaker 1: needs curio. See how it all shakes out of the

590
00:27:27,240 --> 00:27:30,600
Speaker 1: next few months. Twenty twenty one season is over. Before

591
00:27:30,640 --> 00:27:33,159
Speaker 1: we dive deep into the off season, let's take a

592
00:27:33,160 --> 00:27:36,040
Speaker 1: look at some areas where teams performed well last year.

593
00:27:36,080 --> 00:27:38,640
Speaker 1: It is something we call twenty twenty one. We're poor card.

594
00:27:38,640 --> 00:27:40,280
Speaker 1: I've been doing it all week, every day. We're putting

595
00:27:40,280 --> 00:27:42,239
Speaker 1: together one for a different division, with each of us

596
00:27:42,280 --> 00:27:46,120
Speaker 1: taking a team and awarding them in a grade for something.

597
00:27:46,240 --> 00:27:48,920
Speaker 1: It hasn't been easy always, but we're doing it. It's

598
00:27:48,920 --> 00:27:51,080
Speaker 1: the NFC West, James, what do you got? Which team

599
00:27:51,080 --> 00:27:54,080
Speaker 1: went grade? And why? The Los Angeles Rams. It is

600
00:27:54,080 --> 00:27:56,959
Speaker 1: an a and construction and I'm not sure what he

601
00:27:57,000 --> 00:28:01,080
Speaker 1: gets paid, but less sneed. They're Foreman has put together

602
00:28:01,359 --> 00:28:05,840
Speaker 1: a beautiful team, just as immaculate as the stadium that

603
00:28:05,960 --> 00:28:08,000
Speaker 1: they play in. First and foremost, when you're building something,

604
00:28:08,040 --> 00:28:09,959
Speaker 1: you need a tremendous foundation. And what did they do?

605
00:28:10,000 --> 00:28:13,200
Speaker 1: They went and they drafted well with guys like Aaron

606
00:28:13,240 --> 00:28:16,480
Speaker 1: Donald and Cooper Cup and Cam Akers and Van jeff Alers.

607
00:28:16,760 --> 00:28:19,080
Speaker 1: You have that great foundation, and then look at all

608
00:28:19,080 --> 00:28:21,680
Speaker 1: the trades that they made to make sure they got

609
00:28:21,720 --> 00:28:24,240
Speaker 1: the fancy aspects to go inside that house. When you

610
00:28:24,320 --> 00:28:28,600
Speaker 1: trade draft picks for Matthew Stafford, for Jalen Ramsey, for

611
00:28:29,200 --> 00:28:31,879
Speaker 1: Von Miller, all of these guys, and the quarterback is

612
00:28:31,880 --> 00:28:34,320
Speaker 1: really the lynchpin of all of this. They don't have

613
00:28:34,359 --> 00:28:36,880
Speaker 1: a first round pick until twenty twenty four. The last

614
00:28:36,880 --> 00:28:38,800
Speaker 1: time they picked in the first round was Jared Gard

615
00:28:40,280 --> 00:28:42,200
Speaker 1: in twenty sixteen. I don't even know if they're gonna

616
00:28:42,280 --> 00:28:45,880
Speaker 1: use that twenty twenty four pick, but I'm stealing this

617
00:28:45,960 --> 00:28:48,760
Speaker 1: from someone, and I apologize. I heard it during Super

618
00:28:48,800 --> 00:28:50,360
Speaker 1: Bowl week and it's brilliant, so I just have to

619
00:28:50,400 --> 00:28:52,800
Speaker 1: take it. I'm not giving credit. I wish somebody could

620
00:28:52,880 --> 00:28:56,800
Speaker 1: tweet me and find out it's not that Lesnie doesn't

621
00:28:56,880 --> 00:29:00,600
Speaker 1: value first round picks. He takes advantage of teams that

622
00:29:00,800 --> 00:29:03,640
Speaker 1: overvalued the first round picks. And I thought that was

623
00:29:03,680 --> 00:29:06,080
Speaker 1: an absolute brilliant way to look at him. And then

624
00:29:06,160 --> 00:29:10,920
Speaker 1: as you put this home together, you find those little trinkets,

625
00:29:10,960 --> 00:29:13,200
Speaker 1: those little pieces, those spots of vintage things that are

626
00:29:13,200 --> 00:29:15,120
Speaker 1: just kind of one of a kind, and you grab

627
00:29:15,160 --> 00:29:16,920
Speaker 1: those maybe somebody else didn't want it before you get

628
00:29:16,960 --> 00:29:20,360
Speaker 1: Odell Beckham Junior. Yeah, and just waiting there, you get

629
00:29:20,480 --> 00:29:22,120
Speaker 1: Eric Weddle and you throw him at the end and

630
00:29:22,120 --> 00:29:25,800
Speaker 1: then everything comes together and they've put this thing together brilliantly.

631
00:29:25,840 --> 00:29:30,000
Speaker 1: They have constructed something absolutely immaculate. I want to talk

632
00:29:30,040 --> 00:29:32,480
Speaker 1: about my ninners. They're my ninners. So they drafted me,

633
00:29:32,520 --> 00:29:35,040
Speaker 1: so I got a bunch of team of it. They

634
00:29:35,080 --> 00:29:37,360
Speaker 1: impressed us all year by making it to the NFC

635
00:29:37,480 --> 00:29:39,760
Speaker 1: Championship Game, and I think the reason they had so

636
00:29:39,840 --> 00:29:42,040
Speaker 1: much success was because of their great a end. You're

637
00:29:42,040 --> 00:29:47,400
Speaker 1: ready for this one, guys? What evolutionary biology? Evolutionary biology.

638
00:29:47,440 --> 00:29:49,840
Speaker 1: Didn't even know that was a subject, but it is.

639
00:29:49,920 --> 00:29:53,240
Speaker 1: It has everything to do with Deebo Samuel. Guys. To me,

640
00:29:53,360 --> 00:29:57,400
Speaker 1: he was one of the best offensive weapons that our

641
00:29:57,480 --> 00:29:59,840
Speaker 1: game had this year. I mean, think about it. He

642
00:30:00,000 --> 00:30:02,360
Speaker 1: he's a wide receiver. Where's number nineteen. They had some

643
00:30:02,440 --> 00:30:04,840
Speaker 1: running back issues, right they said, you know what, We're

644
00:30:04,840 --> 00:30:06,720
Speaker 1: not gonna bring anybody else. Say, We're just gonna take

645
00:30:06,720 --> 00:30:09,600
Speaker 1: our top wide receiver and line him up in the

646
00:30:09,600 --> 00:30:11,920
Speaker 1: backfield and just hand him the football and let him

647
00:30:11,960 --> 00:30:15,040
Speaker 1: go ham And that's exactly what he did. There's some cuts,

648
00:30:15,560 --> 00:30:19,240
Speaker 1: there's some moves that Deebo Samuel did as a runner

649
00:30:19,320 --> 00:30:22,160
Speaker 1: that I don't even see runners who get paid to

650
00:30:22,280 --> 00:30:26,160
Speaker 1: run the football. Due this kid is a baller. He's great.

651
00:30:26,200 --> 00:30:28,600
Speaker 1: He's a tough tackle for any defender when the ball

652
00:30:28,720 --> 00:30:31,640
Speaker 1: is in his hands. He had four over fourteen hundred

653
00:30:31,680 --> 00:30:36,080
Speaker 1: yards receiving six touchdowns and a whole bunch of yards

654
00:30:36,160 --> 00:30:39,360
Speaker 1: running the football. Can he be a thousand yard Russia

655
00:30:39,440 --> 00:30:43,960
Speaker 1: receiver this upcoming season? Yes he will. Can. I don't

656
00:30:44,000 --> 00:30:45,840
Speaker 1: know because I'm not the play caller, but I will

657
00:30:45,840 --> 00:30:48,240
Speaker 1: say this. I had a real good conversation with Deebo

658
00:30:48,280 --> 00:30:50,280
Speaker 1: with the NFL, and don't tell me. Let me tell

659
00:30:50,280 --> 00:30:52,280
Speaker 1: you something. Don't tell don't tell nobody what I'm telling you.

660
00:30:52,720 --> 00:30:56,160
Speaker 1: He can between us three at this point, that man

661
00:30:56,200 --> 00:30:58,040
Speaker 1: said I could do more. They took me out of

662
00:30:58,040 --> 00:31:00,800
Speaker 1: the game on some third dawn, I got more, I

663
00:31:00,880 --> 00:31:04,120
Speaker 1: got stuff left love heck, and I'm like, I was

664
00:31:04,160 --> 00:31:08,320
Speaker 1: getting tired watching you get the football. I know when

665
00:31:10,280 --> 00:31:12,560
Speaker 1: it is out there. So I think he's gonna do

666
00:31:12,560 --> 00:31:14,960
Speaker 1: some great things even without Mike McDaniel. Yeah, because I

667
00:31:14,960 --> 00:31:18,080
Speaker 1: think he really liked Mike McDaniel, the master. Since is

668
00:31:18,880 --> 00:31:21,320
Speaker 1: he's still there, so that they say, we'll see. All right,

669
00:31:21,360 --> 00:31:23,760
Speaker 1: let's talk of Seahawks. You love the Seahawks. Your other team,

670
00:31:23,800 --> 00:31:26,400
Speaker 1: one of your teams, wasn't the uh how do I

671
00:31:26,400 --> 00:31:29,120
Speaker 1: put this the best season for Seattle in terms of wins?

672
00:31:29,360 --> 00:31:33,680
Speaker 1: They did excel in performing arts by creating some mind blowy.

673
00:31:34,000 --> 00:31:37,520
Speaker 1: Just just come with week won Seahawks. Cat is going

674
00:31:37,520 --> 00:31:40,240
Speaker 1: through some plays here, all right, Vintage Russell dropping back

675
00:31:40,400 --> 00:31:45,160
Speaker 1: on coorking, Oh, rainbow, rolling stones, thank you. It hits

676
00:31:45,200 --> 00:31:48,720
Speaker 1: Tyler Lockett in stride for a sixty nine yard touchdown.

677
00:31:48,720 --> 00:31:52,160
Speaker 1: I mean, this is just beautiful, guys. It is all right.

678
00:31:52,200 --> 00:31:54,680
Speaker 1: Our neck's performing arts right there. All right, there you go.

679
00:31:54,800 --> 00:31:57,240
Speaker 1: Let's flip it over to our guy, Peter Shreger. See that.

680
00:31:57,360 --> 00:31:59,440
Speaker 1: I'll do the Arizona cargoes here, guys, and I would

681
00:31:59,440 --> 00:32:03,120
Speaker 1: actually get them an A in one course. And that's psychology.

682
00:32:03,160 --> 00:32:04,440
Speaker 1: And you might say, what do you mean in psychology?

683
00:32:04,520 --> 00:32:06,680
Speaker 1: Let's look, it's a mess over there. Kyler's upset and

684
00:32:07,120 --> 00:32:10,000
Speaker 1: Cliff in the GM got there. Hey, this season that

685
00:32:10,080 --> 00:32:12,560
Speaker 1: they dealt with, they had so many ups and downs,

686
00:32:12,560 --> 00:32:15,440
Speaker 1: and yet they still ended up in the playoffs. Started

687
00:32:15,520 --> 00:32:17,800
Speaker 1: up eight and one, they're the hottest team in the league.

688
00:32:17,840 --> 00:32:19,480
Speaker 1: Remember they had all those wins. They lose to Green

689
00:32:19,520 --> 00:32:21,800
Speaker 1: Bay on that Thursday night. They finished a year at

690
00:32:21,800 --> 00:32:23,239
Speaker 1: three and five, But in the midst of that, they

691
00:32:23,280 --> 00:32:26,240
Speaker 1: also lost DeAndre Hopkins, who is their best offensive player.

692
00:32:26,720 --> 00:32:28,680
Speaker 1: And yet they still found a way to win in

693
00:32:28,800 --> 00:32:31,200
Speaker 1: Dallas and then okay, let's go to the playoffs. Maybe

694
00:32:31,240 --> 00:32:34,160
Speaker 1: the worst playoff performance we have ever seen from a

695
00:32:34,200 --> 00:32:37,440
Speaker 1: team in a big spot. I still don't know what happened,

696
00:32:37,480 --> 00:32:39,440
Speaker 1: if they knew what time the game was, or how

697
00:32:39,520 --> 00:32:42,680
Speaker 1: that all went down. But Kyler Murray, the last few weeks,

698
00:32:42,680 --> 00:32:44,880
Speaker 1: we've been talking about him a lot. The coach in

699
00:32:44,920 --> 00:32:48,600
Speaker 1: the GM got their extensions this week here in Indianapolis.

700
00:32:48,880 --> 00:32:52,800
Speaker 1: Kyler demanded one has not happened. Don't see it happening

701
00:32:52,840 --> 00:32:55,440
Speaker 1: anytime soon, based on the writing on the wall and

702
00:32:55,480 --> 00:32:58,840
Speaker 1: what's going to happen now? Can he still overcome that reality?

703
00:32:59,240 --> 00:33:01,640
Speaker 1: Can he wait? Can't he keep it going? But last

704
00:33:01,720 --> 00:33:04,320
Speaker 1: year a lot of adversity. J J. Watt goes down,

705
00:33:04,600 --> 00:33:07,160
Speaker 1: DeAndre Hopkins goes down, Connor and Edmonds are in and

706
00:33:07,200 --> 00:33:09,040
Speaker 1: out of the lineup, yet they still found their way

707
00:33:09,040 --> 00:33:10,760
Speaker 1: in the playoffs. I give him an A for psychology

708
00:33:10,880 --> 00:33:13,160
Speaker 1: last year, but I'll give them an a plus if

709
00:33:13,160 --> 00:33:15,560
Speaker 1: they can get through this offseason and come out kumbaya

710
00:33:15,880 --> 00:33:18,800
Speaker 1: and ready to compete next year. Good stuff from you Shreds.

711
00:33:18,880 --> 00:33:20,760
Speaker 1: There you have it our twenty twenty one park cards

712
00:33:20,760 --> 00:33:23,800
Speaker 1: for the NFC West. Let us know tweet used to

713
00:33:23,920 --> 00:33:34,520
Speaker 1: give us a great season for the Chargers, and this

714
00:33:34,560 --> 00:33:36,800
Speaker 1: man made a lot of fans around the NFL for

715
00:33:36,880 --> 00:33:39,920
Speaker 1: his aggressive nature but also his humanity. Let's welcome in,

Speaker 1: Head coach NFL. How cool is that? You know I

719
00:33:48,360 --> 00:33:49,880
Speaker 1: thought it was really cool until I got to come

00:33:49,880 --> 00:33:52,320
Speaker 1: sit up here with you guys and beyond. Good morning

721
00:33:52,320 --> 00:33:54,640
Speaker 1: football man. This is uh, this is pretty sweet. So

722
00:33:54,680 --> 00:33:57,520
Speaker 1: for Bears fans wondering what they're getting, this is not

723
00:33:57,600 --> 00:34:00,720
Speaker 1: going to be a country club situation. His first couple

724
00:34:00,720 --> 00:34:03,320
Speaker 1: of practices are gonna be hard. We felt short of

725
00:34:03,360 --> 00:34:06,000
Speaker 1: where we wanted to be, which was winning a championship.

726
00:34:06,120 --> 00:34:09,400
Speaker 1: Things were not looking good and are instead of pointing

727
00:34:09,440 --> 00:34:12,279
Speaker 1: fingers or in fight and everyone rallied together. Peter, we

728
00:34:12,280 --> 00:34:13,759
Speaker 1: have a lot of work to do, Like like we

729
00:34:13,880 --> 00:34:16,280
Speaker 1: we have a lot of work that is still left.

730
00:34:16,320 --> 00:34:18,200
Speaker 1: And you know, that's what Dane and Ods believe are

731
00:34:18,280 --> 00:34:20,280
Speaker 1: That's what we know. We have a good plan in place.

732
00:34:20,560 --> 00:34:22,000
Speaker 1: We always leave a light on for a guy like

733
00:34:22,040 --> 00:34:24,560
Speaker 1: Tom Brady. I bet my mom and wife are soap

734
00:34:24,600 --> 00:34:28,879
Speaker 1: pumps um. Wendy Williams doesn't get recorded because of good

741
00:34:42,040 --> 00:34:44,120
Speaker 1: jump on a table or something like that. You're the

742
00:34:44,160 --> 00:34:46,200
Speaker 1: coach of the year right now as we head towards

743
00:34:46,719 --> 00:34:50,040
Speaker 1: is that something that carries over like it's like right

744
00:34:50,120 --> 00:34:52,480
Speaker 1: like the raining is is that is actually a thing?

745
00:34:52,480 --> 00:34:55,040

747
00:34:59,760 --> 00:35:01,560
Speaker 1: you walk into that room and you see what Jaalen

748
00:35:01,560 --> 00:35:04,400
Speaker 1: Wattle did in his first year stepping on an NFL field.

749
00:35:05,080 --> 00:35:07,200
Speaker 1: What can you do as an offensive mastermind? And how

750
00:35:07,239 --> 00:35:08,840
Speaker 1: does that excite you to take this job and say, hey,

751
00:35:08,920 --> 00:35:15,480
Speaker 1: let's build even more on that masterminder? Here? That good? Yeah,

Speaker 1: it was good. Thanks for saying that. So here's the thing.

753
00:35:20,400 --> 00:35:23,240
Speaker 1: Peter Schrager goes to the combine he does these interviews.

754
00:35:23,280 --> 00:35:25,480
Speaker 1: We almost feel bad because he's doing so much of

755
00:35:25,480 --> 00:35:28,080
Speaker 1: the work. But Peter, you crush it. You know these

756

Speaker 1: get a hold of these coaches and general managers in

766
00:35:49,800 --> 00:35:52,359
Speaker 1: a less formal setting than behind a podium or after

767
00:35:52,440 --> 00:35:54,879
Speaker 1: a tough loss or even a great win. Instead, it's

768
00:35:54,960 --> 00:35:58,200
Speaker 1: they're in regular clothes and there's being actual human beings.

769
00:35:58,280 --> 00:36:01,360
Speaker 1: To have the contrast of Mike Rabel, who's this hulking

770
00:36:01,440 --> 00:36:06,200
Speaker 1: former player, great linebacker, next to Mike McDaniel, who is

771
00:36:06,680 --> 00:36:09,080
Speaker 1: maybe one hundred and eighty pounds soaking wet coming in

772
00:36:09,120 --> 00:36:10,680
Speaker 1: here as the new coach of the Dolphins. That just

773
00:36:10,719 --> 00:36:13,120
Speaker 1: shows how cool the head coaching position has become and

774
00:36:13,120 --> 00:36:15,520
Speaker 1: how diverse these guys are as far as what they

775
00:36:15,600 --> 00:36:18,000
Speaker 1: bring resume wise. Had such a good time this week

776
00:36:18,040 --> 00:36:19,880
Speaker 1: on Good Morning Football. I'm not done. I'm gonna be

777
00:36:19,920 --> 00:36:23,560
Speaker 1: on tonight, Saturday and Sunday for NFL Network. But to James,

778
00:36:23,600 --> 00:36:26,319
Speaker 1: Mike and of course UK guys, awesome job back there

779
00:36:26,360 --> 00:36:28,120
Speaker 1: in New York. And I love doing the show from here.

780
00:36:28,160 --> 00:36:30,000
Speaker 1: It's such a cool experience to talk to these coaches

781
00:36:30,040 --> 00:36:32,120
Speaker 1: and gms in a different way than usual. And thank

782
00:36:32,160 --> 00:36:33,840
Speaker 1: you for kind of tossing it and serving it up

783
00:36:33,840 --> 00:36:35,279
Speaker 1: to me where we can do our thing. But you

784
00:36:35,280 --> 00:36:37,839
Speaker 1: guys kicked about all week take it from here. Thank you, Peter,

785
00:36:38,360 --> 00:36:40,160
Speaker 1: you were on one bro. I can't lie to you,

786
00:36:40,200 --> 00:36:42,520
Speaker 1: man like you provided so much for us to talk

787
00:36:42,560 --> 00:36:44,960
Speaker 1: about from your interviews. Man, I mean you talked about

788
00:36:44,960 --> 00:36:48,360
Speaker 1: Mike Vrabel. I thought he exemplified what leadership is. He

789
00:36:48,400 --> 00:36:50,560
Speaker 1: talked about how he held his team together when King

790
00:36:50,600 --> 00:36:53,239
Speaker 1: Henry wasn't there. If he didn't panic, his coaches wouldn't panic,

791
00:36:53,440 --> 00:36:55,640
Speaker 1: and therefore his team wasn't going to panic. You talked

792
00:36:55,680 --> 00:36:58,399
Speaker 1: about Mike McDaniels, coach McDaniels. I mean, you can hear

793
00:36:58,440 --> 00:37:00,600
Speaker 1: how smart the guy, and you can just the way he,

794
00:37:00,920 --> 00:37:04,000
Speaker 1: you know, explains his football concepts. And I think he's

795
00:37:04,000 --> 00:37:05,880
Speaker 1: gonna bring some stuff out of tour that maybe we

796
00:37:06,360 --> 00:37:10,120
Speaker 1: hadn't seen yet. John Lynch, he was selling Jimmy Gee.

797
00:37:10,280 --> 00:37:12,680
Speaker 1: He was. He was real about it. Yeah. I don't

798
00:37:12,719 --> 00:37:15,200
Speaker 1: know about Trey Lance all the way, but Jimmy G's available.

799
00:37:15,239 --> 00:37:16,759
Speaker 1: We told him it was gonna be available, and he

800
00:37:16,880 --> 00:37:19,319
Speaker 1: is available, and he kept it all the way real.

801
00:37:19,440 --> 00:37:21,840
Speaker 1: And then Brandon Staley Man, I thought that might have

802
00:37:21,840 --> 00:37:24,680
Speaker 1: been my favorite interview of yours, of the entire week

803
00:37:24,719 --> 00:37:27,319
Speaker 1: man the attention to details. I got a chance to

804
00:37:27,320 --> 00:37:30,000
Speaker 1: ask him a question about his fourth down tries, and

805
00:37:30,120 --> 00:37:32,640
Speaker 1: I was expecting him maybe to kind of squirm away

806
00:37:32,640 --> 00:37:35,280
Speaker 1: from that from that question. He stood on his square,

807
00:37:35,480 --> 00:37:38,280
Speaker 1: He stood on analytics, he stood on all his beliefs,

808
00:37:38,520 --> 00:37:40,719
Speaker 1: and I think that's why he's going to change the

809
00:37:40,760 --> 00:37:42,960
Speaker 1: culture out there with the Los Angeles charges man. So

810
00:37:43,080 --> 00:37:45,680
Speaker 1: great job by you. I'm real, Peter. He knocked out

811
00:37:45,680 --> 00:37:47,239
Speaker 1: every single interview, So I don't really have anything that

812
00:37:49,000 --> 00:37:51,520
Speaker 1: did you meet anybody knew, Peter that you maybe didn't

813
00:37:51,520 --> 00:37:52,960
Speaker 1: know or I mean I know that you know all

814
00:37:53,000 --> 00:37:54,799
Speaker 1: of those guys. Was there something that stuck out to

815
00:37:54,840 --> 00:37:58,360
Speaker 1: you behind the scenes at night watching the combine? What

816
00:37:58,480 --> 00:38:00,960
Speaker 1: he got? Yeah? You know, it's a good opportunity for

817
00:38:01,000 --> 00:38:02,880
Speaker 1: me to reach out to some coaches who I didn't

818
00:38:02,880 --> 00:38:04,520
Speaker 1: know and try to get some time with them. And

819
00:38:04,560 --> 00:38:05,920
Speaker 1: one of them I think is going to be a

820
00:38:05,920 --> 00:38:08,560
Speaker 1: future head coach. His name is Bubba Ventrone and he's

821
00:38:08,600 --> 00:38:11,080
Speaker 1: the cult special teams coach and I watched him. I

822
00:38:11,120 --> 00:38:13,840
Speaker 1: watched him on Hard Knocks and Bubba was leading the

823
00:38:13,880 --> 00:38:15,759
Speaker 1: room and special teams for the Colts. I said, that's

824
00:38:15,800 --> 00:38:17,359
Speaker 1: one guy I want to get to know, and he

825
00:38:17,400 --> 00:38:19,839
Speaker 1: was outstanding. You know, we just introduced ourselves to each other,

826
00:38:19,840 --> 00:38:21,840
Speaker 1: and that's the kind of stuff that the combine's great for.

827
00:38:21,920 --> 00:38:24,160
Speaker 1: It's not a current head coach, but he's a rising name.

828
00:38:24,400 --> 00:38:26,080
Speaker 1: I'd like to get to know those guys and help

829
00:38:26,120 --> 00:38:29,880
Speaker 1: talk about that there's so many young talented people in

830
00:38:29,920 --> 00:38:32,240
Speaker 1: the NFL, and or they'll be Brandon Brown with the Giants,

831
00:38:32,239 --> 00:38:34,200
Speaker 1: Ian cunning Him with the Bears. Like just trying to

832
00:38:34,239 --> 00:38:36,520
Speaker 1: get to know some of these new names and faces

833
00:38:36,560 --> 00:38:38,040
Speaker 1: and then help them along the way and give them

834
00:38:38,080 --> 00:38:40,600
Speaker 1: the platforms to maybe advance their careers in any way

835
00:38:40,600 --> 00:38:42,600
Speaker 1: that we can possible. But the NFL is in a

836
00:38:42,640 --> 00:38:44,960
Speaker 1: good place, a lot of young, smart head coaches, and

837
00:38:45,040 --> 00:38:47,640
Speaker 1: hopefully the appearance of some of these coaches might change

838
00:38:47,640 --> 00:38:49,200
Speaker 1: on a grander scale as well. There are a lot

839
00:38:49,280 --> 00:38:51,680
Speaker 1: of young, smart people of color who are coaching as well.

840
00:38:51,840 --> 00:38:54,000
Speaker 1: It's well said, okay, quickly, I know you said you're

841
00:38:54,040 --> 00:38:56,800
Speaker 1: on tonight, You're on Saturday and Sunday. All the coverage

842
00:38:56,800 --> 00:38:59,920
Speaker 1: all day long, all night long here on NFL Network.

843
00:39:00,280 --> 00:39:02,200
Speaker 1: Who are you looking forward to seeing? You know? I

844
00:39:02,320 --> 00:39:05,400
Speaker 1: like Briefe Iowa State kid, the running back. What are

845
00:39:05,400 --> 00:39:07,200
Speaker 1: you most looking forward to as you wrap things up

846
00:39:07,200 --> 00:39:10,520
Speaker 1: on the fire Friday? Yeah, the Ikia Kanwu tonight is

847
00:39:10,520 --> 00:39:12,480
Speaker 1: going to be very impressive as the offensive tackle at

848
00:39:12,480 --> 00:39:14,359
Speaker 1: at NC State. I was wishing that Evan Neil would

849
00:39:14,360 --> 00:39:15,719
Speaker 1: work out. He's not going to work out. He just

850
00:39:15,760 --> 00:39:17,879
Speaker 1: measured the running backs of this evening too. But there

851
00:39:17,880 --> 00:39:20,200
Speaker 1: are so many great Georgia defenders, whether it being a

852
00:39:20,280 --> 00:39:22,560
Speaker 1: Kobe Dean or Trey Von Walker or the big fella

853
00:39:22,640 --> 00:39:25,360
Speaker 1: inside or even Quay Walker. I am so interested to

854
00:39:25,400 --> 00:39:29,200
Speaker 1: see all those Georgia defenders step up. Here's my top list.

855
00:39:29,480 --> 00:39:31,920
Speaker 1: I've got Trey Von Walker, who's not going in the

856
00:39:31,960 --> 00:39:34,319
Speaker 1: top five of any of these mock drafts, soaring up

857
00:39:34,400 --> 00:39:37,440
Speaker 1: draft boards after his performance this weekend. But kay, like

858
00:39:37,480 --> 00:39:40,399
Speaker 1: we always say, it's always the least expected names. It's

859
00:39:40,400 --> 00:39:42,239
Speaker 1: guys that we've never heard of going into this thing

860
00:39:42,400 --> 00:39:44,960
Speaker 1: who steal the show. So that's why you watch. And

861
00:39:45,040 --> 00:39:47,360
Speaker 1: of course Rich Eyes and Daniel Jeremiah, those guys do

862
00:39:47,400 --> 00:39:49,760
Speaker 1: a great job holding it down. Keep it on NFL Network.

863
00:39:49,800 --> 00:39:52,320
Speaker 1: There's nothing better to watch than the combine this weekend.
