Like you were on. 4 00:00:11,840 --> 00:00:15,600 Speaker 1: The call as part of the Jags broadcast team in 5 00:00:15,720 --> 00:00:22,200 Speaker 1: Dallas for Nathan Rourke's ridiculous touchdown throw in that ballgame. 6 00:00:22,960 --> 00:00:25,280 Speaker 1: But that's not the first time you've seen him. Do 7 00:00:25,360 --> 00:00:28,760 Speaker 1: you remember you and I on the call in the 8 00:00:28,840 --> 00:00:32,839 Speaker 1: Rose Bowl at the NFLPA Collegiate Bowl when he was 9 00:00:32,880 --> 00:00:34,800 Speaker 1: one of the players, one of the quarterbacks selected out 10 00:00:34,800 --> 00:00:36,080 Speaker 1: of the University of Ohio. 11 00:00:36,360 --> 00:00:38,080 Speaker 2: What do you think life comes at you fast? 12 00:00:38,200 --> 00:00:40,800 Speaker 3: Huh, it comes at you fast. It's full circle. And 13 00:00:40,880 --> 00:00:43,560 Speaker 3: let me tell you about Nathan rhyy, Like, not only 14 00:00:43,680 --> 00:00:46,040 Speaker 3: you talk about the NFLPA game, but hav't watched him 15 00:00:46,080 --> 00:00:48,400 Speaker 3: in the CFO with the BC Lions. Watch him do 16 00:00:48,440 --> 00:00:51,159 Speaker 3: his thing. I'm be honest with you, RTT. When I'm 17 00:00:51,200 --> 00:00:53,640 Speaker 3: watching him, I'm calling it obviously, I'm on the Jaguars 18 00:00:53,720 --> 00:00:55,560 Speaker 3: call and I'm looking at him play and I'm like, man, 19 00:00:55,560 --> 00:00:57,880 Speaker 3: this dude is ready for the moment. And it wasn't 20 00:00:57,960 --> 00:01:01,240 Speaker 3: just that play because the game he had displayed a 21 00:01:01,320 --> 00:01:04,040 Speaker 3: level of poise and patience that You're like, this guy 22 00:01:04,120 --> 00:01:06,800 Speaker 3: is an NFL quarterback, and so that just kind of 23 00:01:06,880 --> 00:01:09,080 Speaker 3: was like the cherry on top of the Sunday. But 24 00:01:09,120 --> 00:01:11,280 Speaker 3: it was a remarkable play and it's one of the 25 00:01:11,360 --> 00:01:14,720 Speaker 3: moments that look you live for in the preseason. A 26 00:01:14,760 --> 00:01:16,280 Speaker 3: lot of people talk about why do you have the 27 00:01:16,319 --> 00:01:19,960 Speaker 3: preseason those things there are a bunch of guys chasing dreams. Yeah, 28 00:01:19,959 --> 00:01:22,200 Speaker 3: but it's those moments because that's the thing would live 29 00:01:22,240 --> 00:01:25,080 Speaker 3: with him forever. It was a great moment. It was 30 00:01:25,120 --> 00:01:27,600 Speaker 3: a great play for him. But I think it's one 31 00:01:27,640 --> 00:01:29,880 Speaker 3: of those things that could be the difference in whether 32 00:01:29,920 --> 00:01:31,800 Speaker 3: you make the team and whether you don't make the team, 33 00:01:31,800 --> 00:01:33,720 Speaker 3: because it was a fantastic playmaking moment. 34 00:01:33,920 --> 00:01:35,959 Speaker 2: My goodness, it breaks about three or four tackles. 35 00:01:35,959 --> 00:01:37,480 Speaker 1: For those of you haven't seen it yet, just go 36 00:01:37,520 --> 00:01:39,759 Speaker 1: to the NFL social pages and you'll find it all 37 00:01:39,760 --> 00:01:41,840 Speaker 1: over the place, breaks three or four tackles, and then 38 00:01:41,880 --> 00:01:45,400 Speaker 1: with the last tackler draped all over his legs, fires 39 00:01:45,400 --> 00:01:48,120 Speaker 1: a shot into the end zone for a Jaguars touchdown, 40 00:01:48,120 --> 00:01:51,880 Speaker 1: which was just electric. But just a quick backstory on 41 00:01:52,000 --> 00:01:54,120 Speaker 1: Nathan Rourke by the way, because you know a reminder, 42 00:01:54,280 --> 00:01:56,520 Speaker 1: never throw away your spotter charts that have all your 43 00:01:56,560 --> 00:01:58,640 Speaker 1: notes from your game broadcast. 44 00:01:58,160 --> 00:01:59,440 Speaker 2: Because I went back and look at it. 45 00:01:59,440 --> 00:02:01,320 Speaker 1: And I was like, guys, that name sounds familiar, right, 46 00:02:01,600 --> 00:02:04,120 Speaker 1: So this is a dude who was born in Canada, right, 47 00:02:04,280 --> 00:02:06,880 Speaker 1: played high school football in Canada his first three years, 48 00:02:07,040 --> 00:02:12,000 Speaker 1: then moved down to Alabama to play high school football 49 00:02:12,000 --> 00:02:14,280 Speaker 1: in Alabama. Went thirteen to zero with that team his 50 00:02:14,360 --> 00:02:16,239 Speaker 1: first year there, playing in the States, won a state 51 00:02:16,280 --> 00:02:17,280 Speaker 1: title in Alabama. 52 00:02:17,400 --> 00:02:18,000 Speaker 2: He was trying to. 53 00:02:18,000 --> 00:02:22,400 Speaker 1: Get noticed by college recruiters, didn't have any major scholarship offers. 54 00:02:22,440 --> 00:02:25,280 Speaker 1: Went to community college in twenty sixteen at Fort Scott, 55 00:02:25,840 --> 00:02:28,720 Speaker 1: then got a scholarship offer to go to Ohio, where 56 00:02:28,760 --> 00:02:31,520 Speaker 1: he becomes one of the most decorated passes of passers 57 00:02:31,560 --> 00:02:36,600 Speaker 1: in Bobcat football program history. Then got bounced around the 58 00:02:36,680 --> 00:02:39,840 Speaker 1: league a little bit undrafted, finds his way to Canada, 59 00:02:39,880 --> 00:02:44,359 Speaker 1: becomes the most outstanding Canadian football player in the CFLs 60 00:02:44,480 --> 00:02:48,160 Speaker 1: past year, and now is making memories on the NFL 61 00:02:48,280 --> 00:02:49,919 Speaker 1: level and highlight worthy plays. 62 00:02:50,000 --> 00:02:53,320 Speaker 3: So how about this. Not only is he a Bobcat legend, 63 00:02:53,639 --> 00:02:56,400 Speaker 3: but how about his younger brother Kurt still there? Right? 64 00:02:56,840 --> 00:03:00,000 Speaker 3: Not only still there, but he was the conference player 65 00:03:00,160 --> 00:03:03,240 Speaker 3: of the year and he's on the debut, O'Brien list 66 00:03:03,320 --> 00:03:05,880 Speaker 3: as one of the top quarterbacks in the country. And 67 00:03:05,919 --> 00:03:09,720 Speaker 3: so you talk about the family being in good hands, 68 00:03:09,720 --> 00:03:13,480 Speaker 3: being able to day, maybe another football family about to 69 00:03:13,560 --> 00:03:15,919 Speaker 3: take the NFL by storm Man. 70 00:03:16,040 --> 00:03:20,959 Speaker 2: There it is the Roorks. Hey, let's do it. Let's 71 00:03:20,960 --> 00:03:21,919 Speaker 2: start to the show. 72 00:03:22,560 --> 00:03:28,160 Speaker 1: And now Move the Sticks with Daniel, Jeremiah and Bucky Brooks. 73 00:03:28,720 --> 00:03:31,560 Speaker 1: What's up, everybody, Welcome back to another episode of Move 74 00:03:31,639 --> 00:03:34,080 Speaker 1: the Sticks. As you know now ratt Lewis and Bucky 75 00:03:34,120 --> 00:03:37,080 Speaker 1: Brooks here with you on today's episode. DJ will be 76 00:03:37,160 --> 00:03:40,520 Speaker 1: back with us later this week after calling his first 77 00:03:40,600 --> 00:03:43,800 Speaker 1: preseason game with the Chargers as they took on the 78 00:03:43,840 --> 00:03:46,880 Speaker 1: Rams and the battle for Sofi Stadium. Certainly had some 79 00:03:47,240 --> 00:03:49,600 Speaker 1: intrigue to that one, but I think it's prudent for 80 00:03:49,680 --> 00:03:52,120 Speaker 1: us to kind of go back Bucky and we're gonna 81 00:03:52,200 --> 00:03:54,280 Speaker 1: We're not just going to talk NFL today. We are 82 00:03:54,280 --> 00:03:56,400 Speaker 1: going to have some college ball talk. I'll give you 83 00:03:56,440 --> 00:03:58,280 Speaker 1: guys a little synopsis of what I saw down this 84 00:03:58,360 --> 00:04:02,400 Speaker 1: summer from the Manning Passing Academy and kind of take 85 00:04:02,440 --> 00:04:04,960 Speaker 1: you back there as we get set for Week zero 86 00:04:05,040 --> 00:04:07,400 Speaker 1: of college football coming up real quick, like two weeks 87 00:04:07,400 --> 00:04:10,760 Speaker 1: from now. But let's begin in the NFL preseason, buck 88 00:04:10,800 --> 00:04:13,000 Speaker 1: by looking at some of these rookie quarterbacks that we 89 00:04:13,040 --> 00:04:15,440 Speaker 1: saw for the first time, because you know, to me, 90 00:04:15,480 --> 00:04:17,320 Speaker 1: it almost felt like this was an extension of path 91 00:04:17,320 --> 00:04:19,800 Speaker 1: of the draft, right, Like that's what the preseason and 92 00:04:19,880 --> 00:04:21,640 Speaker 1: training camp can be. So our first chance to see 93 00:04:21,680 --> 00:04:24,159 Speaker 1: the guys that we've talked about from January to May. 94 00:04:25,040 --> 00:04:26,880 Speaker 2: And let's start right at the top with. 95 00:04:26,760 --> 00:04:29,640 Speaker 1: The number one overall pick in Bryce Young, Carolina Panthers 96 00:04:29,720 --> 00:04:32,239 Speaker 1: had a chance to take on the Jets, and look, 97 00:04:32,720 --> 00:04:35,200 Speaker 1: you know, you never you never want to get too high, 98 00:04:35,200 --> 00:04:37,000 Speaker 1: you never want to get too low on preseason. 99 00:04:37,320 --> 00:04:38,200 Speaker 2: But I thought this. 100 00:04:38,200 --> 00:04:41,080 Speaker 1: Was this was a fairly mediocre outing, not just from 101 00:04:41,640 --> 00:04:43,839 Speaker 1: Bryce Young, but from the Panthers kind of as a whole. 102 00:04:43,920 --> 00:04:47,560 Speaker 1: I mean, they had like nineteen total yards in the 103 00:04:47,720 --> 00:04:50,480 Speaker 1: entire first half of that game. So there's a lot 104 00:04:50,520 --> 00:04:52,640 Speaker 1: of stuff to look at there. But for Bryce, do 105 00:04:52,720 --> 00:04:55,160 Speaker 1: you have an overriding takeaway from his first NFL action? 106 00:04:55,880 --> 00:04:57,360 Speaker 3: Over I'd take away, I would say that the game 107 00:04:57,400 --> 00:04:59,400 Speaker 3: didn't look too big. It didn't look too big for him. 108 00:04:59,440 --> 00:05:02,240 Speaker 3: So lot of times the first NFL action you're trying 109 00:05:02,279 --> 00:05:05,200 Speaker 3: to figure out do they at least look the part. 110 00:05:05,480 --> 00:05:07,480 Speaker 3: Does it look like it's overwhelming them or do they 111 00:05:07,520 --> 00:05:10,760 Speaker 3: feel like they have a general command of the offense 112 00:05:10,760 --> 00:05:13,040 Speaker 3: and what they're being asked to do? Does the operation 113 00:05:13,200 --> 00:05:15,560 Speaker 3: time look okay? Are they getting from huddle to the 114 00:05:15,560 --> 00:05:19,279 Speaker 3: line of scrimmage without any issues to communication and those things? 115 00:05:19,400 --> 00:05:21,520 Speaker 3: And then it's the performance and the production. And so 116 00:05:22,040 --> 00:05:24,080 Speaker 3: he was fine, it was solid. It wasn't anything that 117 00:05:24,240 --> 00:05:26,520 Speaker 3: necessarily stood out. The offense didn't really move the ball. 118 00:05:27,520 --> 00:05:32,640 Speaker 3: He didn't look like zero, like he was swimming in it. 119 00:05:32,720 --> 00:05:35,560 Speaker 3: But you want to see better and so I know, 120 00:05:35,800 --> 00:05:38,279 Speaker 3: like a lot of times coaches will attack the first 121 00:05:38,279 --> 00:05:40,160 Speaker 3: game without a game plan. They're just kind of call 122 00:05:40,240 --> 00:05:43,840 Speaker 3: plays off the cuff. But it's important in week two 123 00:05:44,080 --> 00:05:47,039 Speaker 3: that we see more a little a little more play, 124 00:05:47,080 --> 00:05:50,280 Speaker 3: a little more production and urgency from the offense when 125 00:05:50,320 --> 00:05:51,200 Speaker 3: he's at. 126 00:05:50,920 --> 00:05:53,320 Speaker 1: Church And again top of show, we were talking about 127 00:05:53,320 --> 00:05:56,479 Speaker 1: the moment for Nathan Rourke, right, And I think preseason 128 00:05:56,600 --> 00:06:00,960 Speaker 1: can be about moments more than anything else, not about results, 129 00:06:01,000 --> 00:06:03,920 Speaker 1: not even really about stats, but it's about things that 130 00:06:03,960 --> 00:06:07,200 Speaker 1: you can see and latch onto, whether good or bad, 131 00:06:07,279 --> 00:06:10,960 Speaker 1: that can help predict a player's future performance. Uh, in 132 00:06:11,000 --> 00:06:13,120 Speaker 1: an offense or a defense, I guess. But for Bryce 133 00:06:13,160 --> 00:06:15,960 Speaker 1: Jung's case, I think one thing that you were always 134 00:06:16,000 --> 00:06:17,839 Speaker 1: kind of wondering in the back of your mind, despite 135 00:06:17,839 --> 00:06:20,880 Speaker 1: the immense talent and the terrific production he had in college, 136 00:06:20,960 --> 00:06:23,600 Speaker 1: was all right, how's he going to hold up in 137 00:06:23,640 --> 00:06:24,520 Speaker 1: the NFL game? 138 00:06:24,760 --> 00:06:26,520 Speaker 2: Not the biggest dude out there. We've talked about the 139 00:06:26,560 --> 00:06:27,839 Speaker 2: size and all that. At length. 140 00:06:28,560 --> 00:06:31,960 Speaker 1: You got hit four times, three hits and one sack, 141 00:06:32,560 --> 00:06:35,400 Speaker 1: and he got up each time. No worse for the wear. 142 00:06:35,839 --> 00:06:38,159 Speaker 1: But I will tell you it felt like some of 143 00:06:38,160 --> 00:06:43,480 Speaker 1: those hits were more than I more and more I say, 144 00:06:43,560 --> 00:06:45,640 Speaker 1: quote unquote violent than I'd seen him get hit his 145 00:06:45,800 --> 00:06:49,000 Speaker 1: entire college career. But he's but he's good, which is great, 146 00:06:49,000 --> 00:06:50,360 Speaker 1: Which is you know you have panthers. 147 00:06:50,400 --> 00:06:51,000 Speaker 2: You love to see it. 148 00:06:51,600 --> 00:06:53,000 Speaker 3: I mean you do love to see it, but I 149 00:06:53,000 --> 00:06:55,279 Speaker 3: mean you don't want to see You want to limit it, Yeah, 150 00:06:55,320 --> 00:06:57,279 Speaker 3: you want to you want to limit the things. But 151 00:06:57,279 --> 00:06:59,400 Speaker 3: but Red, this is one of the things that we 152 00:06:59,480 --> 00:07:01,719 Speaker 3: talked about, like running up to the draft when they 153 00:07:01,760 --> 00:07:03,760 Speaker 3: were the concerns about the size, and everyone's like, oh, 154 00:07:03,760 --> 00:07:05,719 Speaker 3: he's never been hit, he can protect himself for whatever 155 00:07:06,240 --> 00:07:08,600 Speaker 3: The NFL game they catch up. Sea's different no matter what, 156 00:07:08,760 --> 00:07:11,400 Speaker 3: it's just a different game. You're going to take some 157 00:07:11,440 --> 00:07:13,600 Speaker 3: big boys shots. And so the fact that he was 158 00:07:13,640 --> 00:07:16,200 Speaker 3: able to get up you love that. But I'll say 159 00:07:16,240 --> 00:07:18,600 Speaker 3: this for the Panthers, you want to make sure that 160 00:07:18,640 --> 00:07:21,400 Speaker 3: you shore up the protection and give your franchise quarterback 161 00:07:21,640 --> 00:07:25,160 Speaker 3: an opportunity to throw from the grass, you know, and 162 00:07:25,600 --> 00:07:27,200 Speaker 3: if you can't protect them, it's going to be an 163 00:07:27,240 --> 00:07:29,440 Speaker 3: issue because no matter who you are, no matter how 164 00:07:29,440 --> 00:07:32,240 Speaker 3: big you are a quarterback, if you get hit consistently, 165 00:07:32,760 --> 00:07:34,480 Speaker 3: you're going to get hurt. And so the Pants need 166 00:07:34,480 --> 00:07:36,920 Speaker 3: to make sure they shot up the protection issues to 167 00:07:37,040 --> 00:07:40,320 Speaker 3: keep their franchise quarterback up right and around the entire season. 168 00:07:40,480 --> 00:07:42,880 Speaker 1: Yeah, and as you mentioned vanilla playbook whatever, I mean, 169 00:07:43,120 --> 00:07:46,760 Speaker 1: he did most of his operating from inside the pocket. 170 00:07:46,960 --> 00:07:49,200 Speaker 1: And I think you're going to see Bryce Young on 171 00:07:49,240 --> 00:07:51,480 Speaker 1: the move quite a bit when we get this thing rolling. 172 00:07:51,640 --> 00:07:52,280 Speaker 2: It would be my. 173 00:07:52,280 --> 00:07:54,760 Speaker 1: Guest, just because he's got that athleticism, that ability to 174 00:07:54,800 --> 00:07:56,560 Speaker 1: make those plays out on the run, and we didn't 175 00:07:56,560 --> 00:07:58,720 Speaker 1: see a ton of that in this game, so imagine 176 00:07:58,760 --> 00:08:00,400 Speaker 1: maybe we see a bit more of it into the 177 00:08:00,440 --> 00:08:03,559 Speaker 1: second preseason game. Friday, which you can see on NFL 178 00:08:03,680 --> 00:08:06,080 Speaker 1: Network as they take on the Giants. Let's move to CJ. 179 00:08:06,200 --> 00:08:09,600 Speaker 1: Stroud pick number two, Houston up in New England to 180 00:08:09,640 --> 00:08:12,360 Speaker 1: take on the Patriots in this game. Look, the first drive, 181 00:08:12,800 --> 00:08:14,680 Speaker 1: you kind of want to wipe that one clean, right, 182 00:08:14,800 --> 00:08:16,840 Speaker 1: took a sack on first down, throw a pick on 183 00:08:16,880 --> 00:08:20,120 Speaker 1: third and twenty one. All right, let's let's flush it. 184 00:08:20,280 --> 00:08:22,320 Speaker 1: Let's get back out there and let's go play. And 185 00:08:22,360 --> 00:08:25,640 Speaker 1: I think, you know, you can see some of the 186 00:08:25,680 --> 00:08:28,760 Speaker 1: reasons why the Texans were excited to take him at 187 00:08:28,800 --> 00:08:31,120 Speaker 1: number two. And that's you've seen it throughout training camp 188 00:08:31,160 --> 00:08:32,880 Speaker 1: if you've been in and around the Texans, Like, the 189 00:08:32,880 --> 00:08:36,280 Speaker 1: big arm is there, the accuracy is there, you know, 190 00:08:36,440 --> 00:08:39,600 Speaker 1: enough mobility is there. Now, it's just a matter of 191 00:08:39,640 --> 00:08:42,360 Speaker 1: putting all the pieces together around it, you know, and 192 00:08:42,840 --> 00:08:43,679 Speaker 1: getting comfortable. 193 00:08:44,120 --> 00:08:46,959 Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean, and that's it. In fact, Red I 194 00:08:47,080 --> 00:08:49,640 Speaker 3: love seeing him struggle early because like the biggest thing 195 00:08:49,679 --> 00:08:52,320 Speaker 3: for young quarterbacks is how did they bounce back from 196 00:08:52,400 --> 00:08:55,720 Speaker 3: adverse adversity? How did they bounce back from poor moments? 197 00:08:55,800 --> 00:08:58,360 Speaker 3: Do they have the confidence and wherewith aught? Hey, I 198 00:08:58,400 --> 00:08:59,760 Speaker 3: thow a pick, but I'm gonna go right back out 199 00:08:59,760 --> 00:09:02,720 Speaker 3: there be the same gun slinger that I displayed before 200 00:09:02,760 --> 00:09:05,320 Speaker 3: the mistake, and can I learn from that mistake? While 201 00:09:05,400 --> 00:09:08,480 Speaker 3: conteum to remain aggressive in those things, and I think 202 00:09:08,520 --> 00:09:10,240 Speaker 3: for CJ. Stroud, you want to get some of those 203 00:09:10,240 --> 00:09:12,319 Speaker 3: things out of the way. That's what the preseason is for. 204 00:09:12,760 --> 00:09:16,439 Speaker 3: And I know social media will take these young guys 205 00:09:16,440 --> 00:09:19,720 Speaker 3: to task for messing up and having mistakes. But part 206 00:09:19,720 --> 00:09:22,240 Speaker 3: of the NFL game is man. Until you play it, 207 00:09:22,320 --> 00:09:25,120 Speaker 3: you don't know what you're stepping into. The speed of 208 00:09:25,120 --> 00:09:27,040 Speaker 3: the game is faster, the defenders that you're dealing with 209 00:09:27,080 --> 00:09:30,119 Speaker 3: are faster, the schemes that you're dealing with are more complex, 210 00:09:30,200 --> 00:09:32,880 Speaker 3: and so you're trying to figure all this stuff on 211 00:09:33,000 --> 00:09:35,720 Speaker 3: the move, and so you're going to make mistakes. The 212 00:09:35,840 --> 00:09:38,400 Speaker 3: good ones find a way to work through those mistakes 213 00:09:38,640 --> 00:09:40,440 Speaker 3: and get to the other side. And so we got 214 00:09:40,440 --> 00:09:42,280 Speaker 3: a chance to see c J. Stroud kind of worked 215 00:09:42,320 --> 00:09:44,880 Speaker 3: through some of those issues that plagued him early in 216 00:09:44,880 --> 00:09:45,240 Speaker 3: the game. 217 00:09:45,640 --> 00:09:49,280 Speaker 1: Texan's back at it against the Dolphins on Saturday game 218 00:09:49,480 --> 00:09:52,400 Speaker 1: that you can see on NFL Network four o'clock Eastern time, 219 00:09:52,640 --> 00:09:53,640 Speaker 1: two of the preseason. 220 00:09:53,679 --> 00:09:54,280 Speaker 2: Moving on to. 221 00:09:54,280 --> 00:09:58,240 Speaker 1: Number four overall pick that was Anthony Richardson, of course 222 00:09:58,280 --> 00:10:01,760 Speaker 1: going to the Indianapolis Colts, who coincidentally was the only 223 00:10:02,440 --> 00:10:06,000 Speaker 1: of the top four rookie quarterbacks drafted that played in 224 00:10:06,040 --> 00:10:08,280 Speaker 1: this first week of the preseen that didn't take a sack. 225 00:10:08,880 --> 00:10:11,080 Speaker 1: And you know, you see his body type, you see 226 00:10:11,080 --> 00:10:15,320 Speaker 1: his athleticism, that's not surprising. He definitely used a little 227 00:10:15,320 --> 00:10:19,320 Speaker 1: bit of that that physicality on a former teammate. I 228 00:10:19,360 --> 00:10:22,920 Speaker 1: believe Kyer elam As he kind of truck sticked him 229 00:10:22,920 --> 00:10:25,880 Speaker 1: a little bit as he was going out to the sideline. Now, 230 00:10:25,880 --> 00:10:28,320 Speaker 1: he did have an interception in this game, but I 231 00:10:28,320 --> 00:10:30,040 Speaker 1: think once you kind of parse through that a little 232 00:10:30,040 --> 00:10:32,440 Speaker 1: bit and look a little bit deeper. Again, this is 233 00:10:32,440 --> 00:10:34,840 Speaker 1: why you have to have some caution with box scores 234 00:10:35,120 --> 00:10:39,800 Speaker 1: when you're in the preseason. One receiver took credit initially, 235 00:10:39,880 --> 00:10:43,199 Speaker 1: and then I think Shane Steichen took credit for the 236 00:10:43,720 --> 00:10:46,319 Speaker 1: call and what was going on, and so it's not 237 00:10:46,520 --> 00:10:49,760 Speaker 1: I think moral of the story is interception not necessarily 238 00:10:49,760 --> 00:10:51,840 Speaker 1: on Richardson. He's trying to make a play kind of 239 00:10:52,320 --> 00:10:55,079 Speaker 1: you know, maybe a little bit more season. He just 240 00:10:55,160 --> 00:10:58,000 Speaker 1: kind of eats it right or throws it, you know, 241 00:10:58,000 --> 00:10:58,960 Speaker 1: into the second. 242 00:10:58,679 --> 00:11:02,160 Speaker 3: Row, you know, and I think one of the things 243 00:11:02,200 --> 00:11:04,280 Speaker 3: that you want from your young quarterback is to learn 244 00:11:04,360 --> 00:11:06,000 Speaker 3: a the ball is the most important thing. You got 245 00:11:06,040 --> 00:11:07,920 Speaker 3: to value the ball, can't turn the ball over and 246 00:11:08,000 --> 00:11:09,719 Speaker 3: those things. It is better take a sack when in 247 00:11:09,840 --> 00:11:12,280 Speaker 3: completion than to give the ball to the other team. 248 00:11:12,520 --> 00:11:14,800 Speaker 3: And a lot of times it takes young quarterbacks a 249 00:11:14,840 --> 00:11:17,440 Speaker 3: while to do that because remember, for Anthony Richardson would 250 00:11:17,520 --> 00:11:20,320 Speaker 3: judge him differently than CJ. Stroud and bright Shall because 251 00:11:20,320 --> 00:11:23,400 Speaker 3: he didn't play as much. He doesn't have enough snaps, 252 00:11:23,480 --> 00:11:25,800 Speaker 3: enough game experience maybe to work through some of the 253 00:11:25,800 --> 00:11:28,080 Speaker 3: things that you work through as a collegian. And so 254 00:11:28,960 --> 00:11:31,400 Speaker 3: the coach knew this when they took him. It is 255 00:11:31,480 --> 00:11:35,320 Speaker 3: going to be a bumpy road for him because he 256 00:11:35,360 --> 00:11:36,920 Speaker 3: has to learn how to play the game, play the 257 00:11:36,960 --> 00:11:39,760 Speaker 3: game at the highest level, while also teasing us with 258 00:11:39,800 --> 00:11:42,400 Speaker 3: all this spectacular talent that is. So you're gonna get 259 00:11:42,440 --> 00:11:44,920 Speaker 3: a mixed bag whenever he goes out there. But if 260 00:11:44,920 --> 00:11:46,840 Speaker 3: you're the coach, she's certainly encouraged because you talk about 261 00:11:46,840 --> 00:11:50,040 Speaker 3: the athleticism, the arm, talent, it's all there is. Now, 262 00:11:50,080 --> 00:11:52,320 Speaker 3: can you put it together and a lot and help 263 00:11:52,400 --> 00:11:54,079 Speaker 3: him play the game at a high level. 264 00:11:54,400 --> 00:11:56,439 Speaker 1: Yeah, And I remember I was on the desk leading 265 00:11:56,440 --> 00:11:58,160 Speaker 1: into this game. We were kind of doing some game 266 00:11:58,200 --> 00:12:01,679 Speaker 1: breaks for NFL Network during our season studio coverage, and 267 00:12:02,080 --> 00:12:03,800 Speaker 1: you know, I was talking with Michael Robinson and Steve 268 00:12:03,840 --> 00:12:05,720 Speaker 1: Mariucci about it, and I was like, I just want. 269 00:12:05,640 --> 00:12:07,000 Speaker 2: To I want to see him hit the easy ones. 270 00:12:07,440 --> 00:12:08,960 Speaker 1: I just want to see him, you know, stack some 271 00:12:09,040 --> 00:12:11,600 Speaker 1: completions and do some of the things, because we know 272 00:12:11,720 --> 00:12:14,200 Speaker 1: he can do the nutso stuff, right, we know he 273 00:12:14,200 --> 00:12:17,200 Speaker 1: could do that wild you know, you know, eighty yard 274 00:12:17,200 --> 00:12:20,079 Speaker 1: throw down the field or you know, maybe take one 275 00:12:20,120 --> 00:12:22,599 Speaker 1: eighty yards on the ground for a touchdown like he 276 00:12:22,640 --> 00:12:25,720 Speaker 1: did against LSU. So like, I wanted to see just 277 00:12:25,760 --> 00:12:27,560 Speaker 1: some of the gimmes because when I was out of 278 00:12:27,559 --> 00:12:30,680 Speaker 1: practice as early training camp, those are still some of 279 00:12:30,720 --> 00:12:32,760 Speaker 1: the things that were kind of plaguing him. And then 280 00:12:32,760 --> 00:12:35,360 Speaker 1: to go back to your point, with the reps and 281 00:12:35,400 --> 00:12:39,520 Speaker 1: the experience and the seasoning, you know, I also throw 282 00:12:39,559 --> 00:12:42,400 Speaker 1: in the fact that this dude knows he is like 283 00:12:42,480 --> 00:12:45,280 Speaker 1: a one of one athlete at quarterback and there aren't 284 00:12:45,280 --> 00:12:48,080 Speaker 1: many dudes like him in the world that can do 285 00:12:48,160 --> 00:12:50,000 Speaker 1: what he can do. So it's got to be a 286 00:12:50,080 --> 00:12:54,000 Speaker 1: difficult thing mentally to say, Man, I know I can 287 00:12:54,040 --> 00:12:56,440 Speaker 1: shake this dude off and still try to make this throw, 288 00:12:56,920 --> 00:13:01,120 Speaker 1: whereas the season quarterback, you know, the veteran might say, 289 00:13:01,160 --> 00:13:04,200 Speaker 1: all right, maybe I can, but it's probably best. 290 00:13:03,960 --> 00:13:07,559 Speaker 4: That I don't, right, Which is that process and it 291 00:13:08,080 --> 00:13:11,160 Speaker 4: looks it's a learning process and learning it's a learning 292 00:13:11,160 --> 00:13:13,680 Speaker 4: process where you have to learn what I can and 293 00:13:13,720 --> 00:13:14,400 Speaker 4: what I can do. 294 00:13:14,600 --> 00:13:16,880 Speaker 3: And going all the way back to and I'm not 295 00:13:17,040 --> 00:13:19,560 Speaker 3: necessarily comparing Anthony Rigson into Pat Mahomes, but I do 296 00:13:19,720 --> 00:13:23,120 Speaker 3: know that Andy Reid encourage Pat Mahomes to kind of 297 00:13:23,120 --> 00:13:25,920 Speaker 3: find where those boundaries were and then said, look, well, 298 00:13:26,120 --> 00:13:28,000 Speaker 3: we can bring you back, but I want you to 299 00:13:28,000 --> 00:13:30,200 Speaker 3: push the envelope and see what you can and what 300 00:13:30,240 --> 00:13:32,959 Speaker 3: you can do that first season. So in that second season, 301 00:13:33,000 --> 00:13:34,800 Speaker 3: you know exactly where the boundaries are and you can 302 00:13:34,840 --> 00:13:37,640 Speaker 3: play within or paint within the lines. And so for 303 00:13:37,720 --> 00:13:40,720 Speaker 3: Anthony Richardson, depending on the conversation that they've they've had, 304 00:13:41,480 --> 00:13:43,480 Speaker 3: it's about that, hey, man, let's see what you can do, 305 00:13:43,840 --> 00:13:45,959 Speaker 3: and then we'll figure out to take what you can 306 00:13:46,000 --> 00:13:49,280 Speaker 3: do and put you in an offense that protects you, 307 00:13:49,360 --> 00:13:51,839 Speaker 3: will also allows you to really showcase your talents, and 308 00:13:52,400 --> 00:13:53,679 Speaker 3: the only way you can work through some of the 309 00:13:53,720 --> 00:13:55,280 Speaker 3: stuff is you got to do it in game. And 310 00:13:55,320 --> 00:13:59,559 Speaker 3: so this is part of the experimentation, the phase where 311 00:13:59,600 --> 00:14:01,319 Speaker 3: you go through when you're trying to figure all those 312 00:14:01,320 --> 00:14:03,600 Speaker 3: things out. And so looks week one, let's see what 313 00:14:03,640 --> 00:14:04,320 Speaker 3: it looks like week two. 314 00:14:05,240 --> 00:14:06,600 Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, exactly right. 315 00:14:07,120 --> 00:14:11,040 Speaker 1: So looking forward to seeing Anthony Richardson take on the 316 00:14:11,080 --> 00:14:14,920 Speaker 1: Bear seven o'clock Eastern time, also live for you on 317 00:14:15,160 --> 00:14:18,520 Speaker 1: NFL Network. All right, let's move to the Tennessee Titans, 318 00:14:19,280 --> 00:14:22,560 Speaker 1: and I can kind of throw Malik Willis in here, 319 00:14:22,640 --> 00:14:27,360 Speaker 1: because for all intents and purposes, he does not have 320 00:14:27,520 --> 00:14:30,920 Speaker 1: enough experience or reps to really consider himself a second 321 00:14:30,960 --> 00:14:32,560 Speaker 1: year player in the league. And I started a game 322 00:14:32,640 --> 00:14:35,320 Speaker 1: or two last year because they had to, right, and 323 00:14:35,360 --> 00:14:37,320 Speaker 1: then they ended up going to sign Josh Dobbs, and 324 00:14:37,360 --> 00:14:39,640 Speaker 1: it just was he wasn't ready at that point. Right, 325 00:14:39,720 --> 00:14:42,960 Speaker 1: Let's let's conceive that. I think it's clear at this 326 00:14:43,120 --> 00:14:47,320 Speaker 1: point will Levis is not ready either, and this was 327 00:14:47,360 --> 00:14:50,440 Speaker 1: only his first preseason action. And both of these guys 328 00:14:50,560 --> 00:14:53,840 Speaker 1: are extremely talented dudes. I think they you know, they 329 00:14:53,880 --> 00:14:55,400 Speaker 1: could throw the heck out of the ball. They're both 330 00:14:55,520 --> 00:14:59,520 Speaker 1: very athletic. But I think it's it's clear that you 331 00:14:59,520 --> 00:15:02,640 Speaker 1: know the typ and are rolling with Ryan Tannehill. If 332 00:15:02,640 --> 00:15:05,960 Speaker 1: it wasn't clear before, it's clear now. It just felt 333 00:15:05,960 --> 00:15:09,000 Speaker 1: like it's going to take some more time for Will 334 00:15:09,160 --> 00:15:12,960 Speaker 1: and for Malik to prove that they can see everything 335 00:15:12,960 --> 00:15:14,880 Speaker 1: in front of him the right way and the way 336 00:15:14,880 --> 00:15:17,800 Speaker 1: that the Titans want them to because these guys, I look, 337 00:15:18,560 --> 00:15:20,800 Speaker 1: it felt like to me they were holding on to 338 00:15:20,840 --> 00:15:25,120 Speaker 1: the football for a long time. Took eight combined sacks. 339 00:15:25,240 --> 00:15:27,040 Speaker 1: They were the only two quarterbacks that played. They got 340 00:15:27,040 --> 00:15:30,240 Speaker 1: sacked eight times, So they were holding on to the football. Now, 341 00:15:30,280 --> 00:15:32,640 Speaker 1: some of that maybe on the receivers they're playing with 342 00:15:32,760 --> 00:15:35,960 Speaker 1: on the protection, sure, but I saw, you know, Will Levis. 343 00:15:35,680 --> 00:15:37,880 Speaker 2: Got blindsided like twice. 344 00:15:37,680 --> 00:15:39,520 Speaker 1: You know, at like the three and a half to 345 00:15:39,600 --> 00:15:41,840 Speaker 1: four second mark is what it felt like sometimes. So 346 00:15:42,400 --> 00:15:43,600 Speaker 1: you'd like to see him get the ball out of 347 00:15:43,600 --> 00:15:45,240 Speaker 1: their hands a little bit quicker. And I think that'll 348 00:15:45,280 --> 00:15:48,520 Speaker 1: come the more comfortable they get, and you know, the 349 00:15:48,560 --> 00:15:50,440 Speaker 1: more experienced they are within this offense. 350 00:15:51,000 --> 00:15:54,000 Speaker 3: Yeah, it certainly is the thing that the only the 351 00:15:54,000 --> 00:15:56,080 Speaker 3: only things you can do for young quarterbacks like that 352 00:15:56,120 --> 00:15:59,880 Speaker 3: with Levis and Willis's they need time and experience, and 353 00:16:00,120 --> 00:16:01,560 Speaker 3: you try and give them as much time as you 354 00:16:01,600 --> 00:16:04,440 Speaker 3: can in the preseason because practices are different than games. 355 00:16:05,080 --> 00:16:07,400 Speaker 3: And you're also trying to remake them because some of 356 00:16:07,480 --> 00:16:09,440 Speaker 3: these issues that have shown up in games were issues 357 00:16:09,440 --> 00:16:12,680 Speaker 3: that plague them at Liberty at Kentucky, respectively, and so 358 00:16:13,000 --> 00:16:15,480 Speaker 3: you're trying to clean up their games, give them the 359 00:16:15,520 --> 00:16:18,760 Speaker 3: solid foundation that they need, while give them the game experience. 360 00:16:18,800 --> 00:16:21,040 Speaker 3: And even though the preseason is not quite like the 361 00:16:21,080 --> 00:16:24,160 Speaker 3: regular season, you got to put them intore because you 362 00:16:24,160 --> 00:16:27,360 Speaker 3: can't simulate this stuff and practice all the time, and 363 00:16:27,400 --> 00:16:29,120 Speaker 3: so you have to live with some of it. The 364 00:16:29,160 --> 00:16:32,640 Speaker 3: good thing if you're the Titans, you know that you 365 00:16:32,680 --> 00:16:34,480 Speaker 3: have Ryan Tannehill. You know that you can play an 366 00:16:34,560 --> 00:16:36,800 Speaker 3: entire season with Ryan Tannehill as your quarterback. There's no 367 00:16:37,000 --> 00:16:40,480 Speaker 3: rush to get these guys ready. But one of these 368 00:16:40,520 --> 00:16:44,120 Speaker 3: guys has to merge as a QB two. One of 369 00:16:44,160 --> 00:16:46,400 Speaker 3: them has to be good enough to be the backup quarterback. 370 00:16:46,440 --> 00:16:49,400 Speaker 3: And so right now I would bank on the league 371 00:16:49,400 --> 00:16:52,240 Speaker 3: Willis being that, but we'll see. The Titans may have 372 00:16:52,280 --> 00:16:54,320 Speaker 3: to go out and sign another guy while these other 373 00:16:54,320 --> 00:16:58,040 Speaker 3: guys continue to work on the practice field as developmental players. 374 00:16:58,360 --> 00:17:01,360 Speaker 1: Yeah, and I hope they continue to get tons of 375 00:17:01,400 --> 00:17:04,119 Speaker 1: reps in the preseason, Like I just to feel like 376 00:17:04,160 --> 00:17:06,399 Speaker 1: that that's the only way that you're gonna get an 377 00:17:06,400 --> 00:17:08,879 Speaker 1: accurate picture of what these guys are going to become eventually. 378 00:17:09,040 --> 00:17:11,840 Speaker 1: And so we'll see will Levis and Malik Willis again 379 00:17:11,960 --> 00:17:14,280 Speaker 1: week two of the preseason when they take on the 380 00:17:14,359 --> 00:17:18,440 Speaker 1: Vikings on Saturday night and eight pm Eastern time. 381 00:17:18,560 --> 00:17:18,720 Speaker 3: Kick. 382 00:17:19,040 --> 00:17:21,400 Speaker 1: All right, let's get back quickly to those the Jaguars 383 00:17:21,400 --> 00:17:23,840 Speaker 1: Cowboys game that you were at. Any other young player 384 00:17:23,920 --> 00:17:27,000 Speaker 1: performances that stood out to you from from either team? 385 00:17:27,000 --> 00:17:28,920 Speaker 1: I mean, obviously duce Vaughan was a big one from 386 00:17:28,920 --> 00:17:32,679 Speaker 1: the Cowboys. You got to see that highlight show in person. 387 00:17:32,720 --> 00:17:34,160 Speaker 1: What else did you see there? 388 00:17:34,600 --> 00:17:36,600 Speaker 3: Well, let's stay on both of the running backs. Let's 389 00:17:36,600 --> 00:17:38,800 Speaker 3: talk about duce Vaughan and let's talk about Tang bigsby. 390 00:17:39,160 --> 00:17:43,520 Speaker 3: Uh duce Vaughan first, uh read, I'm not going to lie. 391 00:17:43,920 --> 00:17:46,240 Speaker 3: I was. I was. I was a little skeptical about 392 00:17:46,240 --> 00:17:48,119 Speaker 3: the little fella. It was a nice story. I love 393 00:17:48,160 --> 00:17:49,840 Speaker 3: it was a feel good story. His dad working for 394 00:17:49,840 --> 00:17:54,440 Speaker 3: the Cowboys. Yeah, coming from Kansas State, undersize and those things. 395 00:17:54,480 --> 00:17:57,520 Speaker 3: But let me tell you real quick. Uh, it dawned 396 00:17:57,520 --> 00:18:00,280 Speaker 3: to me that this dude is for real. For the 397 00:18:00,359 --> 00:18:02,400 Speaker 3: move in the hold on the defender one on one 398 00:18:02,480 --> 00:18:06,040 Speaker 3: that was like ooh wow. And then it wasn't just 399 00:18:06,520 --> 00:18:09,720 Speaker 3: the wiggle and the loosiveness, his ability to turn speed 400 00:18:09,760 --> 00:18:11,919 Speaker 3: into power to run through content to get to the 401 00:18:11,960 --> 00:18:14,879 Speaker 3: second level. The Cowboys offense changed when he went in 402 00:18:14,920 --> 00:18:17,960 Speaker 3: the game. And I know it's preseason, but you can 403 00:18:18,040 --> 00:18:20,880 Speaker 3: kind of see like, hey, well, maybe they don't need 404 00:18:20,920 --> 00:18:24,400 Speaker 3: to be in a rush to bring back Ezekiel Elliott. 405 00:18:24,440 --> 00:18:28,520 Speaker 3: Maybe they can get away with two scatback types because 406 00:18:28,600 --> 00:18:31,800 Speaker 3: Deuce barm runs in between the tackles. Like he's small 407 00:18:32,160 --> 00:18:35,520 Speaker 3: and shortened stature, but he is a physical runner in 408 00:18:35,600 --> 00:18:38,280 Speaker 3: between the tackles and you saw that, and the more 409 00:18:38,320 --> 00:18:41,760 Speaker 3: opportunities he got, the better he played. So really impressive 410 00:18:41,800 --> 00:18:45,920 Speaker 3: with him. Tank Bigsby for the Jaguars was brought in 411 00:18:45,960 --> 00:18:49,440 Speaker 3: to be I would say the banker Travis Incienna is 412 00:18:49,480 --> 00:18:52,520 Speaker 3: the number one. He's gonna do the things he's but 413 00:18:52,600 --> 00:18:54,960 Speaker 3: there was something that was missing in that offense where 414 00:18:55,000 --> 00:18:56,919 Speaker 3: they still needed a physical presson. Maybe they thought they 415 00:18:56,960 --> 00:18:58,639 Speaker 3: were gona get it from snow Connor. They didn't get it. 416 00:18:59,320 --> 00:19:02,880 Speaker 3: Bigsby is physical. He does a great job of finishing 417 00:19:02,880 --> 00:19:05,720 Speaker 3: his runs in a violent fashion. But he broke out 418 00:19:05,760 --> 00:19:07,920 Speaker 3: on a thirty three yard run that showed a little 419 00:19:07,920 --> 00:19:11,359 Speaker 3: bit of that speed and explosiveness getting to the second level. 420 00:19:11,800 --> 00:19:15,199 Speaker 3: And so both of the young guys first action, you 421 00:19:15,200 --> 00:19:17,920 Speaker 3: can see what they bring to the table. You also 422 00:19:17,960 --> 00:19:20,480 Speaker 3: could begin to envision the role that they could play 423 00:19:20,480 --> 00:19:21,719 Speaker 3: with their respective teams. 424 00:19:22,000 --> 00:19:26,880 Speaker 1: Yeah, like no doubt, And just kind of because DJ's 425 00:19:26,920 --> 00:19:29,439 Speaker 1: not here, I'll just go back to the Chargers Rams 426 00:19:29,480 --> 00:19:33,040 Speaker 1: game a little bit because the symmetry in this thing 427 00:19:33,359 --> 00:19:37,280 Speaker 1: is just ridiculous. Last time Stetson Bennett and Max Duggan 428 00:19:37,600 --> 00:19:41,879 Speaker 1: played college football, it was at Sofi Stadium on opposite 429 00:19:42,200 --> 00:19:45,520 Speaker 1: teams in the National Championship. The next time they play 430 00:19:45,560 --> 00:19:50,280 Speaker 1: competitive football in the NFL is at Sofi Stadium, playing 431 00:19:50,280 --> 00:19:51,240 Speaker 1: on opposite teams. 432 00:19:51,280 --> 00:19:54,800 Speaker 2: Like that, That's what football is. 433 00:19:54,840 --> 00:19:57,200 Speaker 1: Weird, man, Football's wild. It's weird, and it's amazing. It's 434 00:19:57,200 --> 00:19:59,399 Speaker 1: why we love it. But Max Duggan, one of the 435 00:19:59,480 --> 00:20:03,240 Speaker 1: rookie quarter for the LA Chargers, and then Stetan Bennett, 436 00:20:03,400 --> 00:20:07,080 Speaker 1: obviously fourth thrown draft pick of the LA Rams, and 437 00:20:07,200 --> 00:20:09,280 Speaker 1: I don't want to get into them too much. You know, 438 00:20:09,280 --> 00:20:12,720 Speaker 1: it's a bit further down the line, you know, Rams 439 00:20:12,720 --> 00:20:15,240 Speaker 1: and Chargers hoping they never see him next year, right, 440 00:20:15,720 --> 00:20:18,359 Speaker 1: I hope they continue to develop. But one guy that 441 00:20:18,440 --> 00:20:20,840 Speaker 1: the Chargers hope they do see a lot of and 442 00:20:20,880 --> 00:20:23,040 Speaker 1: they hope they see him where we found him in 443 00:20:23,080 --> 00:20:24,920 Speaker 1: this last game is Quentin Johnson, and that's in the 444 00:20:25,000 --> 00:20:28,119 Speaker 1: end zone. And for me, it was really great to 445 00:20:28,200 --> 00:20:31,000 Speaker 1: see the payoff of all the social media highlight reels 446 00:20:31,040 --> 00:20:33,880 Speaker 1: that we saw from training camp practices. With Quentin Johnson, 447 00:20:34,359 --> 00:20:36,520 Speaker 1: you saw him do something, you just you saw it 448 00:20:36,720 --> 00:20:41,800 Speaker 1: in an actual live game setting end zone, red zone monster. 449 00:20:42,000 --> 00:20:42,920 Speaker 2: That's what he should be. 450 00:20:43,480 --> 00:20:46,399 Speaker 1: And you add in another one of those weapons like 451 00:20:46,440 --> 00:20:50,120 Speaker 1: Mike Williams to go along with Keenan Allen Darius Davis too, 452 00:20:50,160 --> 00:20:53,639 Speaker 1: by the way, his TCU teammate also on that team. Like, 453 00:20:53,720 --> 00:20:57,000 Speaker 1: there's a lot to like now, I mean as if 454 00:20:57,000 --> 00:20:59,400 Speaker 1: there wasn't before. But about the way that this Chargers 455 00:20:59,400 --> 00:21:02,239 Speaker 1: offense can attack a defense in the different ways they 456 00:21:02,240 --> 00:21:02,680 Speaker 1: can do it. 457 00:21:03,280 --> 00:21:07,280 Speaker 3: Oh man, just this is a team that and I 458 00:21:07,320 --> 00:21:09,359 Speaker 3: feel like we always fall in love with the Chargers 459 00:21:09,359 --> 00:21:11,480 Speaker 3: and you see him because when you look at them 460 00:21:11,480 --> 00:21:13,680 Speaker 3: on paper, there's not a team that has more talent 461 00:21:13,760 --> 00:21:16,040 Speaker 3: than the Charges. And when you look at the quarterback 462 00:21:16,080 --> 00:21:18,040 Speaker 3: and you think about just all the pieces around him, 463 00:21:18,160 --> 00:21:19,520 Speaker 3: he should be able to go. And then when you 464 00:21:19,560 --> 00:21:22,440 Speaker 3: see this offense in action, whether it's the ones, the twos, 465 00:21:22,520 --> 00:21:26,720 Speaker 3: the threes, there's a lot of sexy stuff that they do. 466 00:21:26,960 --> 00:21:29,000 Speaker 3: And then with killing more coming over and what he 467 00:21:29,119 --> 00:21:32,200 Speaker 3: is going to bring as an attack minded offensive coordinator 468 00:21:32,240 --> 00:21:34,240 Speaker 3: who wants to do it primarily through the air, but 469 00:21:34,359 --> 00:21:37,280 Speaker 3: it gives them a different flavor, a different feel, you 470 00:21:37,320 --> 00:21:40,200 Speaker 3: can see it. The thing for the Chargers will continue 471 00:21:40,200 --> 00:21:43,040 Speaker 3: to be one, can they keep Justin Herbert protected? 472 00:21:43,400 --> 00:21:43,640 Speaker 2: Two? 473 00:21:43,720 --> 00:21:46,040 Speaker 3: Do they have enough balance to close out games so 474 00:21:46,080 --> 00:21:48,840 Speaker 3: it doesn't become all whop sided in terms of we're 475 00:21:48,920 --> 00:21:52,159 Speaker 3: chasing points, but we don't play the game right. And 476 00:21:52,200 --> 00:21:54,800 Speaker 3: then defensively, what are they going to be on defense? 477 00:21:54,840 --> 00:21:58,879 Speaker 3: Because we've seen as great and as respected as Brandon 478 00:21:58,920 --> 00:22:01,879 Speaker 3: Staley is is for his defensive mind and acumen, you 479 00:22:01,960 --> 00:22:04,719 Speaker 3: do want it, man, this team, man, they give up 480 00:22:04,720 --> 00:22:07,840 Speaker 3: a lot of yards on the ground. Can they continue 481 00:22:07,880 --> 00:22:10,959 Speaker 3: to win doing that? While being he We're gonna take 482 00:22:10,960 --> 00:22:13,520 Speaker 3: these flowsive plays away, and so how do the pieces 483 00:22:13,520 --> 00:22:15,800 Speaker 3: of the pulls will come together. But this team, when 484 00:22:15,800 --> 00:22:17,919 Speaker 3: you look at them on paper, they're one of the 485 00:22:17,960 --> 00:22:20,040 Speaker 3: five best teams in the AFC. They should be in 486 00:22:20,080 --> 00:22:22,159 Speaker 3: the hunt. But can they get it done? Because the 487 00:22:22,200 --> 00:22:23,880 Speaker 3: hype has been around in the last three or four years. 488 00:22:23,880 --> 00:22:25,119 Speaker 3: At some point they got to get it done. 489 00:22:25,320 --> 00:22:26,840 Speaker 1: And then the last thing, you know that I'll say 490 00:22:26,880 --> 00:22:28,760 Speaker 1: about the receiver corp because it felt like, you know, 491 00:22:28,800 --> 00:22:30,520 Speaker 1: oh that's a look, that's a you know, do they 492 00:22:30,520 --> 00:22:31,359 Speaker 1: need another receiver? 493 00:22:31,440 --> 00:22:33,679 Speaker 2: It's a little bit of a luxury pick with the Chargers. Well, 494 00:22:33,800 --> 00:22:34,320 Speaker 2: think about this. 495 00:22:34,359 --> 00:22:36,919 Speaker 1: Mike Williams, for as great as he has been when healthy, 496 00:22:37,440 --> 00:22:39,800 Speaker 1: miss some missing some games, Keenan Allen has missed some 497 00:22:39,840 --> 00:22:43,320 Speaker 1: games in recent years. And now you don't lose another 498 00:22:43,359 --> 00:22:46,560 Speaker 1: one of those Alpha one A targets. You bring Quentin 499 00:22:46,640 --> 00:22:49,400 Speaker 1: Johnson in and it's like, okay, we're and then look, 500 00:22:49,400 --> 00:22:51,720 Speaker 1: when they're all healthy, it's amazing. But you just you 501 00:22:51,720 --> 00:22:54,320 Speaker 1: don't lose an element of your attack if one of 502 00:22:54,359 --> 00:22:55,200 Speaker 1: those guys goes down. 503 00:22:55,520 --> 00:22:58,320 Speaker 3: And the other part of it is you've now paid 504 00:22:58,359 --> 00:23:00,560 Speaker 3: a quarterback and when that really kicks in on the 505 00:23:00,600 --> 00:23:03,080 Speaker 3: salary cap, you might have to make some decisions outside 506 00:23:03,400 --> 00:23:04,880 Speaker 3: Keenan Allen, Mike Williams. 507 00:23:04,960 --> 00:23:07,840 Speaker 2: Mike's a shorter deal. I think, yeah, you. 508 00:23:07,880 --> 00:23:11,000 Speaker 3: Have to have somebody that can step in and replace 509 00:23:11,240 --> 00:23:14,800 Speaker 3: one of those guys, and so the economics change when 510 00:23:14,840 --> 00:23:17,240 Speaker 3: you pay the quarterback and so what you have around them. 511 00:23:17,320 --> 00:23:19,560 Speaker 3: Sometimes you got to mix and match high priced guy 512 00:23:19,640 --> 00:23:22,440 Speaker 3: with a draft pick. So they have options, and I 513 00:23:22,440 --> 00:23:25,040 Speaker 3: would give them credit. They're probably a year or two 514 00:23:25,080 --> 00:23:26,679 Speaker 3: ahead of the curve in terms of having to make 515 00:23:26,720 --> 00:23:29,280 Speaker 3: that decision. But now you do it while you give 516 00:23:29,359 --> 00:23:32,320 Speaker 3: your young guy an opportunity to learn before he has 517 00:23:32,359 --> 00:23:35,000 Speaker 3: to step into that big role, as opposed to drafting 518 00:23:35,000 --> 00:23:36,560 Speaker 3: the guy and saying, hey, you got to step right 519 00:23:36,560 --> 00:23:39,360 Speaker 3: in and feel these big shoes that you're replacement. 520 00:23:39,320 --> 00:23:39,800 Speaker 2: No doubt. 521 00:23:40,320 --> 00:23:42,800 Speaker 1: All Right, so we're not just talking NFL preseason. We're 522 00:23:42,800 --> 00:23:46,080 Speaker 1: going to talk some college football preseason here in just 523 00:23:46,119 --> 00:23:47,800 Speaker 1: a moment. We'll do it right after this break. Stick 524 00:23:47,800 --> 00:23:53,320 Speaker 1: with us here, I'll move the sticks right, Little Bucky 525 00:23:53,320 --> 00:23:54,760 Speaker 1: Brooks back here with you. Move the sticks. 526 00:23:55,080 --> 00:23:57,240 Speaker 2: Rolling on to the college game here. 527 00:23:57,320 --> 00:23:59,280 Speaker 1: We're just a couple of weeks away from kicking off 528 00:23:59,320 --> 00:24:02,080 Speaker 1: Week zero of college football. It is a brand new 529 00:24:02,080 --> 00:24:03,919 Speaker 1: world we're living in. Although we are not here to 530 00:24:03,960 --> 00:24:07,680 Speaker 1: solve nil and conference realignment, but what we can talk 531 00:24:07,720 --> 00:24:09,680 Speaker 1: about of the players that we're going to see this year. 532 00:24:10,520 --> 00:24:13,280 Speaker 1: And I got a chance to see forty of the 533 00:24:13,280 --> 00:24:15,760 Speaker 1: best quarterbacks in the nation this summer down at the 534 00:24:15,840 --> 00:24:19,520 Speaker 1: annual Manning Passing Academy where Archie Manning invites you know, 535 00:24:19,560 --> 00:24:23,080 Speaker 1: the best quarterbacks out to be staffers and counselors to 536 00:24:23,080 --> 00:24:25,600 Speaker 1: the high school kids that are out there running around 537 00:24:25,640 --> 00:24:27,960 Speaker 1: trying to get better and buck you know these settings, well, 538 00:24:29,160 --> 00:24:32,080 Speaker 1: in all the camp work that you do, these dudes, 539 00:24:32,640 --> 00:24:35,680 Speaker 1: this was one of the best. This was the best 540 00:24:35,720 --> 00:24:39,000 Speaker 1: in recent memory just overall group that I've been around. 541 00:24:39,119 --> 00:24:42,840 Speaker 1: Fun group, they enjoyed themselves, They competed like heck, and 542 00:24:42,880 --> 00:24:47,280 Speaker 1: they actually coached like like coach these kids up in 543 00:24:47,320 --> 00:24:49,919 Speaker 1: a big way, And I thought they made for a 544 00:24:49,920 --> 00:24:53,080 Speaker 1: really valuable experience for a lot of those twelve hundred 545 00:24:53,119 --> 00:24:55,280 Speaker 1: and fifty kids that were there trying to get better. 546 00:24:55,320 --> 00:24:56,440 Speaker 2: So I thought that was super cool. 547 00:24:57,000 --> 00:24:59,280 Speaker 1: And I mean, like Drake May's out there, you know, 548 00:24:59,359 --> 00:25:00,800 Speaker 1: it's a guy that could be the you know, one 549 00:25:00,800 --> 00:25:03,520 Speaker 1: of the top two quarterbacks drafted next year from your 550 00:25:03,520 --> 00:25:04,440 Speaker 1: Alma mater U n C. 551 00:25:05,880 --> 00:25:06,640 Speaker 2: I'll start there. 552 00:25:06,880 --> 00:25:08,320 Speaker 1: I did get to talk to him a little bit, 553 00:25:08,640 --> 00:25:10,640 Speaker 1: chatted with him about Chapel Hill. I wanted to get 554 00:25:10,680 --> 00:25:12,359 Speaker 1: to know the lay of the land because you know, 555 00:25:12,480 --> 00:25:14,800 Speaker 1: as a IU basketball we don't need to go down 556 00:25:14,800 --> 00:25:17,080 Speaker 1: to Chapel Hill to play you guys, So you guys 557 00:25:17,160 --> 00:25:17,879 Speaker 1: always come to us. 558 00:25:17,880 --> 00:25:20,240 Speaker 3: I mean we always somehow like it's the only team 559 00:25:20,280 --> 00:25:22,240 Speaker 3: that I've ever known. It only plays all home games 560 00:25:22,440 --> 00:25:24,800 Speaker 3: when it comes to the Stars, Like the only time 561 00:25:24,840 --> 00:25:27,800 Speaker 3: I've ever seen Indiana play has always been an assembly all. 562 00:25:27,840 --> 00:25:29,040 Speaker 3: I never get to send to se him in the 563 00:25:29,080 --> 00:25:29,600 Speaker 3: Dean though. 564 00:25:31,080 --> 00:25:32,600 Speaker 1: Well, we don't need to. We don't need to be there. 565 00:25:32,640 --> 00:25:33,879 Speaker 1: We've been there, you know. We don't need it. We 566 00:25:33,880 --> 00:25:35,960 Speaker 1: don't need to do that. So that's why I wanted 567 00:25:35,960 --> 00:25:37,400 Speaker 1: to get the lay of the land of Chapel Hill, 568 00:25:37,440 --> 00:25:40,280 Speaker 1: just because I've never been. So Drake and I had 569 00:25:40,280 --> 00:25:42,359 Speaker 1: a good time chat. And you know, Phil Longo leaves 570 00:25:42,480 --> 00:25:45,199 Speaker 1: right as offensive coordinator. You know, you bring in a 571 00:25:45,200 --> 00:25:48,080 Speaker 1: bit of a different system now that maybe a little 572 00:25:48,080 --> 00:25:50,840 Speaker 1: bit less kind of all spread out and wide open, 573 00:25:51,480 --> 00:25:54,520 Speaker 1: as Phil Longo now brings that attack to Wisconsin. And 574 00:25:54,680 --> 00:25:56,719 Speaker 1: I thought one of the things that Drake told me 575 00:25:57,240 --> 00:25:59,680 Speaker 1: was kind of interesting mechanics wise. He was like, now 576 00:26:00,240 --> 00:26:03,920 Speaker 1: I feel more comfortable in my mechanics in this new 577 00:26:03,960 --> 00:26:06,840 Speaker 1: system because I'm not doing the back pedal, right, I'm 578 00:26:06,880 --> 00:26:09,359 Speaker 1: not like with my eyes, you know, like with his 579 00:26:09,480 --> 00:26:13,840 Speaker 1: back you know, I guess parallel like face, you know, 580 00:26:13,920 --> 00:26:16,920 Speaker 1: like you can actually do a more traditional drop back. 581 00:26:17,000 --> 00:26:18,920 Speaker 1: It's not like that the you know, being the gun 582 00:26:18,960 --> 00:26:21,680 Speaker 1: take those couple of quick steps back and plan throw. 583 00:26:22,080 --> 00:26:23,920 Speaker 1: So he's like, I just I feel this is this 584 00:26:23,960 --> 00:26:25,960 Speaker 1: is the way I've been playing quarterback my whole life. 585 00:26:26,040 --> 00:26:29,200 Speaker 1: And so this part of the new scheme, a new offense, 586 00:26:29,240 --> 00:26:32,480 Speaker 1: feels good and feels familiar. So I don't know, maybe 587 00:26:32,480 --> 00:26:34,840 Speaker 1: maybe we get even more out of Drake, may just 588 00:26:34,840 --> 00:26:37,159 Speaker 1: just from that perspective, knowing that he's comfortable in his 589 00:26:37,200 --> 00:26:40,600 Speaker 1: foundation and his mechanics. And and then you know, I 590 00:26:40,640 --> 00:26:42,160 Speaker 1: was talking to him, you know a little bit more 591 00:26:42,160 --> 00:26:44,720 Speaker 1: about the offense, and you know, about himself and whether 592 00:26:44,760 --> 00:26:47,320 Speaker 1: he you know, kind of pays attention all the hype 593 00:26:47,320 --> 00:26:49,040 Speaker 1: that's around him, and he's like it's hard not to. 594 00:26:49,240 --> 00:26:51,680 Speaker 1: And you know, people talk on you know, on campus, 595 00:26:51,720 --> 00:26:54,359 Speaker 1: they pass by and you know, somebody might yell out 596 00:26:54,440 --> 00:26:56,840 Speaker 1: number one book, you know whatever, and and so like 597 00:26:56,880 --> 00:26:57,919 Speaker 1: he gets all that stuff. 598 00:26:58,359 --> 00:26:59,760 Speaker 2: But the one thing that made me sad. 599 00:27:00,080 --> 00:27:01,880 Speaker 1: And believe me, I'm not shedding a tear for Drake 600 00:27:01,960 --> 00:27:04,199 Speaker 1: May who's making millions of dollars this year, will make 601 00:27:04,240 --> 00:27:06,600 Speaker 1: millions of dollars next year. But I was like, do 602 00:27:06,640 --> 00:27:09,320 Speaker 1: you get a chance to like be a student at all, 603 00:27:09,400 --> 00:27:13,120 Speaker 1: like to be a like a college student athlete, because 604 00:27:13,160 --> 00:27:16,959 Speaker 1: it feel like you're you're getting the college experience seeing 605 00:27:17,000 --> 00:27:19,480 Speaker 1: as you know, how hyped up you are and the 606 00:27:19,600 --> 00:27:22,040 Speaker 1: continued professionalization of college sports. 607 00:27:22,040 --> 00:27:26,040 Speaker 2: And he was like, no, not really, not really. 608 00:27:26,040 --> 00:27:28,000 Speaker 1: He's like, I live off campus with my brother, Like 609 00:27:28,080 --> 00:27:30,240 Speaker 1: we don't you know, I'm not around that much. 610 00:27:30,480 --> 00:27:30,760 Speaker 2: You know. 611 00:27:30,840 --> 00:27:33,600 Speaker 1: It's kind of just like all football, all school and 612 00:27:33,640 --> 00:27:36,480 Speaker 1: that's it. And that kind of made me a little sad, 613 00:27:36,520 --> 00:27:39,879 Speaker 1: Like I love the college experience. Now, look, nobody was 614 00:27:39,880 --> 00:27:42,280 Speaker 1: messing around and paying me millions of dollars to do it, Bucky, 615 00:27:42,400 --> 00:27:44,680 Speaker 1: But you know, I feel like that part of it. 616 00:27:44,720 --> 00:27:47,000 Speaker 1: I hope that we don't get too far along in 617 00:27:47,040 --> 00:27:50,000 Speaker 1: the game here where that gets completely erased for some 618 00:27:50,000 --> 00:27:50,600 Speaker 1: of these kids. 619 00:27:50,880 --> 00:27:52,880 Speaker 3: Yeah, no, that would be unfortunate if he doesn't feel 620 00:27:52,880 --> 00:27:55,800 Speaker 3: like he has a college experience. We had a chance 621 00:27:55,800 --> 00:27:58,400 Speaker 3: to talk to him last week and it was fun. 622 00:27:58,520 --> 00:28:00,640 Speaker 3: It's fun to hear him. He's a very much sure kid, 623 00:28:00,720 --> 00:28:04,000 Speaker 3: like super mature when it comes to like just understanding 624 00:28:04,040 --> 00:28:05,520 Speaker 3: what he's dealing with and all the things that he 625 00:28:06,160 --> 00:28:08,520 Speaker 3: learned from Sam Howell and all those things, and so 626 00:28:08,600 --> 00:28:11,399 Speaker 3: you want him to do that. But he's stepping into 627 00:28:12,400 --> 00:28:14,560 Speaker 3: the beginning of what would be a pressure cooker for 628 00:28:14,640 --> 00:28:17,600 Speaker 3: him over the next few years, like his final seasons 629 00:28:17,640 --> 00:28:19,280 Speaker 3: in college before he goes into the pros. And then 630 00:28:19,280 --> 00:28:20,879 Speaker 3: when he gets to the pros, he's going to have 631 00:28:20,920 --> 00:28:24,359 Speaker 3: to deal with expectations and all this other stuff. But 632 00:28:24,800 --> 00:28:26,439 Speaker 3: you talk about guys who are ready to handle it, 633 00:28:26,440 --> 00:28:28,679 Speaker 3: he appears to be ready to handle it. And the 634 00:28:28,760 --> 00:28:31,240 Speaker 3: thing that I would say it was overlooked. He said 635 00:28:31,280 --> 00:28:32,800 Speaker 3: last year was the first year that he played. He 636 00:28:32,840 --> 00:28:35,520 Speaker 3: hadn't played in two years, didn't have his COVID season 637 00:28:35,520 --> 00:28:37,760 Speaker 3: his senior year and he was a red shirt behind 638 00:28:37,920 --> 00:28:41,280 Speaker 3: or he sat behind Sam Howell, so he hadn't played. 639 00:28:41,280 --> 00:28:43,400 Speaker 3: So I would expect to see an even better version 640 00:28:43,440 --> 00:28:46,080 Speaker 3: of Drake made now that he is played and the 641 00:28:46,120 --> 00:28:48,280 Speaker 3: stuff that you're hearing about the offense in terms of 642 00:28:48,560 --> 00:28:51,240 Speaker 3: a little more under center, a little more traditional dropback stuff. 643 00:28:51,480 --> 00:28:53,880 Speaker 3: That's only going to make him more attractive to teams 644 00:28:53,880 --> 00:28:57,320 Speaker 3: because in the NFL world we see a lot of 645 00:28:57,320 --> 00:29:00,360 Speaker 3: shotgun but teams like to put the quarter on the 646 00:29:00,400 --> 00:29:02,560 Speaker 3: center because the play action is more effective. It allows 647 00:29:02,600 --> 00:29:05,000 Speaker 3: you to kind of separate the defense differently. So if 648 00:29:05,040 --> 00:29:08,760 Speaker 3: he already has those tools in his toolbox and look, 649 00:29:08,800 --> 00:29:10,280 Speaker 3: it makes it better, makes you better for him when 650 00:29:10,320 --> 00:29:10,600 Speaker 3: it comes to. 651 00:29:10,600 --> 00:29:11,880 Speaker 2: Playing, no question. 652 00:29:13,000 --> 00:29:15,240 Speaker 1: So he was not the only big name quarterback obviously. 653 00:29:15,240 --> 00:29:17,560 Speaker 1: In the work that I do for Indiana as part 654 00:29:17,600 --> 00:29:20,120 Speaker 1: of the radio broadcast, I was paying close attention to 655 00:29:20,320 --> 00:29:22,840 Speaker 1: the three big ten quarterbacks that were there, all three 656 00:29:22,840 --> 00:29:27,480 Speaker 1: of which are transfers. Start with Luke Altmeyer transferred from 657 00:29:27,480 --> 00:29:30,840 Speaker 1: Ole miss to Illinois and now is likely going to 658 00:29:30,840 --> 00:29:33,840 Speaker 1: be QB one for Brett Beelima with the fighting a lie, 659 00:29:33,840 --> 00:29:37,520 Speaker 1: and I you had Tanner Mordecai who now leaves SMU 660 00:29:37,600 --> 00:29:40,360 Speaker 1: and goes to join Phil Longo's offense under Luke Fickle 661 00:29:40,400 --> 00:29:45,360 Speaker 1: at Wisconsin. And then Hudson Card who left ut In 662 00:29:45,400 --> 00:29:49,480 Speaker 1: Austin to go up and join Ryan Walters at Purdue 663 00:29:49,560 --> 00:29:52,560 Speaker 1: along with Graham Harrell. So another wide open offense there, 664 00:29:52,600 --> 00:29:56,560 Speaker 1: certainly in West Lafayette. And kind of it pains me 665 00:29:56,600 --> 00:29:58,240 Speaker 1: to say it, but I was. I was kind of 666 00:29:58,240 --> 00:30:01,800 Speaker 1: most impressed out of all three of those. With Hudson Card. 667 00:30:02,840 --> 00:30:05,440 Speaker 1: I mean, dude's got a real arm, like a big 668 00:30:05,520 --> 00:30:08,560 Speaker 1: time live arm, especially throwing the ball down the field. 669 00:30:08,600 --> 00:30:10,800 Speaker 1: I think he's at he was at his best throwing 670 00:30:11,640 --> 00:30:14,800 Speaker 1: you know, fifteen to thirty yards downfield, and then he 671 00:30:14,880 --> 00:30:16,640 Speaker 1: throw us the go ball, you know, really well. And 672 00:30:16,840 --> 00:30:21,840 Speaker 1: Mordecai is more than capable. And same with Altmeyer. But 673 00:30:21,960 --> 00:30:26,000 Speaker 1: in terms of what a I don't think Illinois is 674 00:30:26,000 --> 00:30:27,440 Speaker 1: gonna ask a ton of Luke Altmeyer. 675 00:30:27,480 --> 00:30:27,840 Speaker 2: They haven't. 676 00:30:27,880 --> 00:30:30,800 Speaker 1: They didn't last year with Tommy DeVito. I think with Perdue, 677 00:30:31,120 --> 00:30:33,040 Speaker 1: like you got a chance for a Hudson Card to 678 00:30:33,080 --> 00:30:35,760 Speaker 1: put up some ridiculous numbers. 679 00:30:35,840 --> 00:30:39,880 Speaker 3: And you do. And the thing about Purdue, and what 680 00:30:39,960 --> 00:30:42,080 Speaker 3: you always love about Purdue is they've always been a 681 00:30:42,120 --> 00:30:43,840 Speaker 3: place that has throwing the ball all over the yard. 682 00:30:44,120 --> 00:30:46,000 Speaker 3: I mean that's part of I mean, going back to 683 00:30:45,960 --> 00:30:49,920 Speaker 3: the that's part of what they do. Boiler up. They're 684 00:30:49,920 --> 00:30:51,719 Speaker 3: gonna throw it around, They're gonna do that. You have 685 00:30:51,760 --> 00:30:54,600 Speaker 3: wide receivers, you're gonna have quarterbacks. And so he steps 686 00:30:54,640 --> 00:30:57,040 Speaker 3: into a nice situation for him to showcase his talents 687 00:30:57,040 --> 00:31:00,520 Speaker 3: while also having a good team around him. His team 688 00:31:00,720 --> 00:31:03,880 Speaker 3: has been pretty solid, and so. 689 00:31:03,080 --> 00:31:05,480 Speaker 1: Yeah, there are six win teams you know, at minimum 690 00:31:05,560 --> 00:31:07,200 Speaker 1: usually you know, year in, year out. 691 00:31:07,280 --> 00:31:10,600 Speaker 2: And how about it, by the way, how about Aidan O'Connell, last. 692 00:31:10,440 --> 00:31:13,360 Speaker 1: Year's Purdue quarterback who played really well for the Las 693 00:31:13,480 --> 00:31:17,280 Speaker 1: Vegas Raiders. Another rookie quarterback who got a ton of 694 00:31:17,400 --> 00:31:20,640 Speaker 1: run there, and then just another couple of quarterbacks that 695 00:31:20,720 --> 00:31:24,960 Speaker 1: stood out to me. One was Michael Pratt from two 696 00:31:25,000 --> 00:31:28,440 Speaker 1: Lane been there for a long time. I think obviously, 697 00:31:28,640 --> 00:31:31,480 Speaker 1: you know, kind of really jumped out into the national 698 00:31:31,520 --> 00:31:35,880 Speaker 1: consciousness beating USC in the Bowl game last year. Two 699 00:31:35,960 --> 00:31:37,800 Speaker 1: Lane did, and obviously ty J Spears was a big 700 00:31:37,840 --> 00:31:39,640 Speaker 1: part of that too. Made some nice plays for the 701 00:31:39,680 --> 00:31:42,600 Speaker 1: Tennessee Titans on the ground as one of their running 702 00:31:42,640 --> 00:31:44,080 Speaker 1: backs this past week. 703 00:31:44,240 --> 00:31:46,080 Speaker 2: But Michael Pratt's a got to watch. 704 00:31:46,600 --> 00:31:48,400 Speaker 1: I think he could he could end up being one 705 00:31:48,400 --> 00:31:51,120 Speaker 1: of those All Star Game guys that really kind of 706 00:31:51,320 --> 00:31:55,560 Speaker 1: elevates himself as we get into the draft process. Very experienced, 707 00:31:55,560 --> 00:31:58,040 Speaker 1: been around the block quite a bit. He was another 708 00:31:58,080 --> 00:32:00,360 Speaker 1: one of those guys that kind of just that continued 709 00:32:00,400 --> 00:32:01,920 Speaker 1: to stand out to me what. 710 00:32:01,920 --> 00:32:05,160 Speaker 3: I like about Tulane and how they really settled in 711 00:32:05,240 --> 00:32:07,400 Speaker 3: really fit. Has done a really good job there. Uh, 712 00:32:07,520 --> 00:32:09,240 Speaker 3: this is a team offenially did do a bunch of 713 00:32:09,280 --> 00:32:11,800 Speaker 3: different things, and so you're looking at a quarterback who 714 00:32:11,800 --> 00:32:15,239 Speaker 3: has a lot of experience dealing with I would say, 715 00:32:15,320 --> 00:32:17,280 Speaker 3: some of the complexities of the college game. It's not 716 00:32:17,360 --> 00:32:19,760 Speaker 3: quite the same as a pro game, but he's had 717 00:32:19,800 --> 00:32:21,400 Speaker 3: to deal with a lot of things, from the option 718 00:32:21,480 --> 00:32:23,920 Speaker 3: stuff they use to moving the pocket and doing all 719 00:32:23,960 --> 00:32:26,560 Speaker 3: that other stuff. It helps, and so I'm excited to 720 00:32:26,600 --> 00:32:29,280 Speaker 3: see him. This is a team that when you got 721 00:32:29,280 --> 00:32:32,040 Speaker 3: a chance to watch them against usc Man, they took 722 00:32:32,080 --> 00:32:33,680 Speaker 3: them to the ship, beat them up a little bit 723 00:32:33,720 --> 00:32:39,120 Speaker 3: like they did. Yeah, it was a very impressive performance. 724 00:32:39,160 --> 00:32:42,200 Speaker 3: And so you'd like to see teams and guys that 725 00:32:42,240 --> 00:32:44,880 Speaker 3: can kind of punch above their weight class. And so 726 00:32:44,920 --> 00:32:46,560 Speaker 3: he's been able to do that, and so all eyes 727 00:32:46,600 --> 00:32:47,920 Speaker 3: will be on him as he goes forward. 728 00:32:48,120 --> 00:32:50,080 Speaker 1: Last two to keep an eye on before we get 729 00:32:50,080 --> 00:32:55,520 Speaker 1: out of here today. Riley Leonard from the Duchies Okay, 730 00:32:55,800 --> 00:32:58,920 Speaker 1: all right, you and c you watch out for Riley 731 00:32:59,080 --> 00:33:03,320 Speaker 1: Leonard this year. Uh, really technically sound quarterback. He is 732 00:33:03,800 --> 00:33:05,520 Speaker 1: super athletic as well. 733 00:33:05,560 --> 00:33:07,680 Speaker 2: In fact, was. 734 00:33:09,440 --> 00:33:12,880 Speaker 1: What's the best way to put this, he was encouraged 735 00:33:13,720 --> 00:33:18,160 Speaker 1: to try out for the Duke basketball team, like not 736 00:33:18,280 --> 00:33:21,720 Speaker 1: the innermural team, like the actual Duke Pats. Like he 737 00:33:21,840 --> 00:33:25,400 Speaker 1: is a big time hooper. Uh so, I mean a 738 00:33:25,480 --> 00:33:26,320 Speaker 1: major athlete. 739 00:33:26,360 --> 00:33:26,600 Speaker 2: Again. 740 00:33:26,640 --> 00:33:30,000 Speaker 1: We love seeing those those cross trainers, you know, at 741 00:33:30,040 --> 00:33:32,760 Speaker 1: any position, but I think at quarterback it's it's pretty 742 00:33:32,760 --> 00:33:33,200 Speaker 1: cool as well. 743 00:33:33,240 --> 00:33:35,640 Speaker 2: So Riley Leonard wont to watch. And then another one. 744 00:33:35,800 --> 00:33:39,960 Speaker 1: That was that was particularly exciting to me to see 745 00:33:40,000 --> 00:33:44,120 Speaker 1: was Carter Bradley. Gus Bradley's son, uh from South Alabama. 746 00:33:44,480 --> 00:33:48,080 Speaker 1: Added some real physicality and like and and sturdiness to 747 00:33:48,120 --> 00:33:50,880 Speaker 1: his frame, felt like this offseason, throws the ball really well. 748 00:33:51,840 --> 00:33:54,120 Speaker 1: And then obviously the bonus here that I can't forget 749 00:33:54,160 --> 00:33:58,320 Speaker 1: to mention is Joe Milton. My God, Bucky Joe Milton. 750 00:33:58,760 --> 00:34:01,760 Speaker 3: Okay, throw it ninety yards, right, he talked about throwing 751 00:34:01,800 --> 00:34:02,400 Speaker 3: it in ninety. 752 00:34:02,200 --> 00:34:05,320 Speaker 1: Yards eighty Well, he said, the furthest he's ever thrown 753 00:34:05,320 --> 00:34:06,080 Speaker 1: it was ninety eight. 754 00:34:06,200 --> 00:34:10,000 Speaker 2: I saw him throw at eighty three. That's crazy eighty three. 755 00:34:10,080 --> 00:34:12,120 Speaker 1: And that's not encounting the right to left because it 756 00:34:12,160 --> 00:34:14,200 Speaker 1: was far right, hash to back left corner of the 757 00:34:14,280 --> 00:34:17,400 Speaker 1: end zone minus twenty five to eight yards deep in 758 00:34:17,440 --> 00:34:19,919 Speaker 1: the end zone on the money on a dime. 759 00:34:20,880 --> 00:34:22,160 Speaker 2: I've never seen anything like it. 760 00:34:22,719 --> 00:34:25,520 Speaker 3: He's a freak. He's a freak. And so the biggest 761 00:34:25,560 --> 00:34:27,480 Speaker 3: thing that can help Joe Milton is whatever happens to 762 00:34:27,520 --> 00:34:30,759 Speaker 3: Anthony Richardson, if Anthony Richardson turns out, because now we're 763 00:34:30,760 --> 00:34:35,200 Speaker 3: we're talking about is someone who possesses elite prototypical traits 764 00:34:35,440 --> 00:34:39,560 Speaker 3: and the arm chalent for Joe Milton is is there 765 00:34:39,719 --> 00:34:42,919 Speaker 3: the size all of those things you see. But he's 766 00:34:42,920 --> 00:34:45,480 Speaker 3: gonna have a chance in that offense. That office is 767 00:34:45,480 --> 00:34:47,680 Speaker 3: gonna highlight what he does. And we saw briefly he 768 00:34:47,680 --> 00:34:51,319 Speaker 3: had an opportunity to step in for him and Hooker, and. 769 00:34:51,239 --> 00:34:52,880 Speaker 2: At the end of the season I thought he did well. 770 00:34:53,080 --> 00:34:56,520 Speaker 3: Yeah, offense didn't skip a beat. So he's gonna have 771 00:34:56,560 --> 00:35:00,080 Speaker 3: an opportunity to do it in that that system, that 772 00:35:00,080 --> 00:35:06,279 Speaker 3: that that system that really puts defenders on islands. But yeah, 773 00:35:06,280 --> 00:35:07,680 Speaker 3: he's gonna have an opportunity to do that. So it 774 00:35:07,719 --> 00:35:08,920 Speaker 3: should be great to watch. 775 00:35:09,200 --> 00:35:10,239 Speaker 2: No question. All right. 776 00:35:10,280 --> 00:35:12,520 Speaker 1: So there's just a little college football prime or for 777 00:35:12,640 --> 00:35:15,760 Speaker 1: you as we sit here getting set for that first 778 00:35:15,800 --> 00:35:17,319 Speaker 1: game of the season coming up here in. 779 00:35:17,280 --> 00:35:18,440 Speaker 2: Just a couple of weeks. All right. 780 00:35:18,480 --> 00:35:20,560 Speaker 1: That's gonna do it for us here on Move the Sticks. 781 00:35:21,120 --> 00:35:23,279 Speaker 1: We got another episode coming up later this week. DJ 782 00:35:23,360 --> 00:35:26,239 Speaker 1: will be back with Bucky on Thursday, and we'll look 783 00:35:26,239 --> 00:35:27,000 Speaker 1: forward to seeing you all. 784 00:35:27,000 --> 00:35:29,319 Speaker 2: Then, thanks again for being with us here on Move 785 00:35:29,360 --> 00:35:29,880 Speaker 2: the Sticks.
