Speaker 1: And now move the Sticks with Daniel Jeremiah and Bucky Brooks.
Speaker 1: What's up, everybody. Welcome to Move the Sticks, DJ and
Speaker 1: Rhet with you from Mobile, Alabama and from coming from
Speaker 1: the couch from my hotel room couch.
Speaker 2: Yes, we did at one point a couple of years ago,
Speaker 2: trying to fit the entire Move the Sticks crew on
Speaker 2: the back seat of a Corolla and try to give
Speaker 2: you our takeaways from the practice day.
Speaker 3: And this is a little bit more comfortable. I don't
Speaker 3: know if we.
Speaker 2: Call it luxurious, but I think it's gonna it's gonna
Speaker 2: lend you some some good nuggets and some of these
Speaker 2: players today.
Speaker 1: I'm definitely gonna be safer Nobil God bless him. Was
Speaker 1: not the best driver, that's for sure.
Speaker 3: I'm glad that's not part of his new job description.
Speaker 1: Happy for Nabili's doing great. By the way, for those
Speaker 1: that are asking, I want to start off, we're going
Speaker 1: to handle some business here at the very top here
Speaker 1: because it's time for Hot or Not brought to you
Speaker 1: by Wsabi Hot Cloud Storage, and we're going to start
Speaker 1: with the national team what we saw in the morning
Speaker 1: from them, and I'm going to give you give you
Speaker 1: the floor here, what's stood out to you?
Speaker 2: Okay, yeah, we'll go and I think, you know, one
Speaker 2: of the things that we were looking to see from
Speaker 2: day one into day two was build. Right, who's going
Speaker 2: to build on a solid day one? Who's going to
Speaker 2: continue to separate elevate their game. I thought Jeffrey bossa
Speaker 2: linebacker from Oregon, was one of those guys we don't
Speaker 2: I feel like we don't get an opportunity to talk
Speaker 2: too much, as you kind of told me about the
Speaker 2: linebackers and the running backs. When you're not taking guys
Speaker 2: to the ground, it's hard to really kind of give
Speaker 2: the full spectrum of your skill set. But I thought
Speaker 2: bassa showcase some physicality. We saw the leadership out there,
Speaker 2: not only play to play in the huddle, you know,
Speaker 2: communicating the play call, but then at the end he
Speaker 2: was the one breaking it down like that is an
Speaker 2: alpha dog leader, green dot player, second level quarterback, your defense.
Speaker 2: I'm fired up for him.
Speaker 1: Yeah. I love the way he broke it down at
Speaker 1: the end of practice. And it wasn't like he was
Speaker 1: trying to grab the spotlight or something inauthentic. It was
Speaker 1: it was real and he's already established himself as a
Speaker 1: leader on an All Star setting is not easy to do.
Speaker 1: I will go to the rep of the day in
Speaker 1: my opinion, Mike Green matching up with Connor Lee, Josh
Speaker 1: Connelly from Oregon and in Organs Josh Conley Man. The
Speaker 1: only thing is like, gosh, can you really think? And
Speaker 1: can you bend? And Mike Green. I love the fact
Speaker 1: that not only did he bowled him and just kind
Speaker 1: of threw him on the ground. It was a great rep.
Speaker 1: I love the explanation of the rep. When we talked
Speaker 1: to him after practice even more. He's like, look, he
Speaker 1: tried to jump me. He tried to jump set me,
Speaker 1: and then Lily kind of presented himself and so everybody
Speaker 1: thinks that I'm the speed guy and they're going to
Speaker 1: try and jump on maybe you know, be physical with man.
Speaker 1: He put it into that pretty quick.
Speaker 3: Yeah he did.
Speaker 2: And we got a chance to talk to him after
Speaker 2: practice and it was kind of fun to listen to
Speaker 2: his you know a little bit about his journey, a
Speaker 2: little bit about his mindset. He's got a great personality.
Speaker 2: I feel like, a great head on his shoulders, some
Speaker 2: awareness of kind of where he's been and what he
Speaker 2: can still do as he tries to make impressions on
Speaker 2: NFL evaluators. I enjoy the kind of the back and
Speaker 2: forth between he and Donovan Azerraku, you know, who were
Speaker 2: going back and forth this season buying for the FBS
Speaker 2: sack lead, which ultimately went to Mike Green at Marshall,
Speaker 2: but Ezerraku won the Hendrix Award as the top the
Speaker 2: end he was sixteen and a half sacks to Green seventeen.
Speaker 2: It's been a only competition there and that's kind of
Speaker 2: been a theme that we've we've kind of heard throughout
Speaker 2: and then you know, as we kind of look at
Speaker 2: some of the other guys throughout the day, Darius Alexander
Speaker 2: was another one of those defensive linemen that that really
Speaker 2: you know, I kind of thought we'd see him flash
Speaker 2: day one. I thought he really kind of picked it
Speaker 2: up here into day two. And that's what you know,
Speaker 2: the practice week is about, is that evolution and that progression.
Speaker 3: Once you get some of that, you know, like what.
Speaker 2: Am I doing on this play and on this rep
Speaker 2: out of the way, then you can let that natural
Speaker 2: talent and athleticism take over.
Speaker 1: For those who don't know Darius Alexander from Toledo was
Speaker 1: six three and a half six oh three fives a
Speaker 1: little over six three and a half three hundred and
Speaker 1: four pounds with thirty four inch arms, and he looks
Speaker 1: the part. And not only can he win, you know,
Speaker 1: early with some of his quickness and athleticism, but show
Speaker 1: some polish here with some of the counter moves that
Speaker 1: he'd put on display. So those are a couple of
Speaker 1: those defense in wineman. I would add Josiah Stewart had
Speaker 1: a better day today from Michigan. Was able to corner
Speaker 1: and get the edge a little bit, did a nice
Speaker 1: job on the offensive side of the ball. We flip
Speaker 1: over to those offensive linemen. I mean, Gray's Abel's been
Speaker 1: the best offensive lineman the entire game, and I don't
Speaker 1: know that it's been particularly close.
Speaker 2: Well, I think he's also taken the most reps of anybody,
Speaker 2: whether that's one on one or team drills or both,
Speaker 2: maybe of any position group. It just felt like he
Speaker 2: was always up there almost every other rep, whether it
Speaker 2: was center, guard, tackle, we were calling gray's Abel's name.
Speaker 2: It sure does feel like he might find a home
Speaker 2: at center at the next level. He looked really natural there.
Speaker 1: DJ I was talking to a general manager in between
Speaker 1: practices and I brought up his name and I was like, look,
Speaker 1: it's impressive. He can play all these spots. But I
Speaker 1: put him at center and just leave him there and
Speaker 1: let it go, and I just got a smile. So
Speaker 1: I think that that was probably a shared opinion there.
Speaker 1: But the Zabel out of North Kota State has been
Speaker 1: awesome and it's been fun to watch him compete at all
Speaker 1: these different spots. Anthony Belton, I think we might have
Speaker 1: mentioned him yesterday from NC State. There's been a lot
Speaker 1: of these guys. Even Caleb Rodgers from Texas Tech had
Speaker 1: some good reps. It's been a solid group.
Speaker 3: Yeah, Ozzie Trapilo two at a couple of nice reps. Again.
Speaker 2: You know, at his height at over six foot seven, right,
Speaker 2: that's one of those guys like you know, you want
Speaker 2: to see him sink a little bit too, as you
Speaker 2: were talking about with Connerley, but he did a little
Speaker 2: bit of a better job on that today and that
Speaker 2: was that was good to watch. He looked natural over
Speaker 2: there at the left tackle spot too, and he played
Speaker 2: right tackle at BC for the most part, so it
Speaker 2: was kind of good to see, you know, him on
Speaker 2: both sides. You know, I think you kind of come
Speaker 2: back to the tight ends, you know, and Elijah Royo
Speaker 2: did nothing to really dissuade us from thinking he is
Speaker 2: one of the best in show in this entire group,
Speaker 2: in this entire draft class. It was great to see
Speaker 2: him among that that growth.
Speaker 3: Thought.
Speaker 2: Terrence Ferguson stepped up today, had one of the big
Speaker 2: reps of the day.
Speaker 1: In think was that the.
Speaker 3: Compete period where he had that physical catch. Yeah. Yeah,
Speaker 3: So they.
Speaker 1: Did a nice job. But I'll throw another tight end
Speaker 1: there too that I haven't had a chance to study yet.
Speaker 1: I'm looking forward to to digging into him before we
Speaker 1: get to the game. As Gavin Bartholow me from pitt
Speaker 1: he flashed a little bit and he's six to four
Speaker 1: and changed two hundred and forty one pounds, not real long,
Speaker 1: but I thought he did a nice job today. So
Speaker 1: the tight end group overall very impressive. Like what I've
Speaker 1: seen there. We go to some of these other positions,
Speaker 1: the corner position RTT. You look at some guys that
Speaker 1: have stood out. I think Quincy Riley stacked a couple
Speaker 1: of good days together. Thomas from Florida State as Aria.
Speaker 1: I get that right as Zurier Azaria Gosh, dang it, Saturday,
Speaker 1: I'm gonna be there. He just continues to uh to
Speaker 1: play well. He gets matched up a couple of times
Speaker 1: with tes from from Oregon who can fly, and he's tiny.
Speaker 1: Me that's gonna be a tough cover for a big corner.
Speaker 1: But I thought he looked fine.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I would say the same. Darien Porter. You know,
Speaker 2: he kind of saw his length a little bit with
Speaker 2: Iowa State. Want to see him continue to try to elevate.
Speaker 2: Justin Barron showed up a bunch and we kind of
Speaker 2: saw him go from dB to linebacker. You know, we
Speaker 2: were talking about those linebackers. He was another one of
Speaker 2: those guys that flashed today. Jalen Smith, the corner from
Speaker 2: USC you know, talking to Dan and Land, their defensive coordinator,
Speaker 2: he was telling me that, you know, Jalen Smith was
Speaker 2: out during springball for them, and so they kind of
Speaker 2: used it as a value add because they got to
Speaker 2: see where their biggest need was this year because.
Speaker 3: They felt like he could play everywhere corner.
Speaker 2: Nickel safety found out the biggest need is at corner
Speaker 2: through spring put him there in the fall, and that
Speaker 2: was kind of like a set it and forget it.
Speaker 2: He is an edgy type of player at corner too.
Speaker 1: He's flying around. The GPS numbers have been great for
Speaker 1: him this week as well. Any other players from the
Speaker 1: national side you want to jump into here, you.
Speaker 3: Know, we'll get to it.
Speaker 2: But I think Oliwa Femi Oladejo continues to stack. You know,
Speaker 2: a guy that's still kind of young in his edge
Speaker 2: rusher career piece. He's been an off the ball linebacker
Speaker 2: for much of his career. Moved down to the edge
Speaker 2: rusher spot at UCLA to allow Carson Schwashner to come
Speaker 2: on and get repsit at linebacker, which he did very
Speaker 2: well too. So that was fun to see. And I
Speaker 2: think Femi's only going to kind of elevate as he
Speaker 2: continues to refine that skill set.
Speaker 1: He is a fun one to keep an eye on
Speaker 1: for sure.
Speaker 3: All Right.
Speaker 1: That was this week's Hot or Not segment, brought to
Speaker 1: you by was Sabi Hot Cloud Storage store more and
Speaker 1: do more with your data. Try them for free at
Speaker 1: wassabi dot com. We are going to take a quick break.
Speaker 1: We will be right back and we'll get over the
Speaker 1: other side. The afternoon practice the American team. Our thoughts
Speaker 1: right after this. All right, right, let's let's start first
Speaker 1: of all quarterbacks on the American side. We didn't, I
Speaker 1: guess we should. By the way, recap on the quarterback side,
Speaker 1: the National side, best and best in show just so far.
Speaker 1: I don't know that there's anyone that just jumped out.
Speaker 1: I would probably lean towards Shuck, but you know, I
Speaker 1: think Dylan Gabriel has been close. They're just totally different
Speaker 1: style quarterbacks.
Speaker 2: Sure, and Chuck gave us kind of the wow moment
Speaker 2: of the day, and it was on a kind of
Speaker 2: a broken play that didn't even really count. Right, He
Speaker 2: gets a kind of an errand snap and he sticks
Speaker 2: his big old nine and three fourths inch hand out
Speaker 2: to the right, snags it with one hand, and then.
Speaker 3: Flips it like live.
Speaker 2: It was like it was the most natural thing he's
Speaker 2: done been doing in his whole life, and then throws
Speaker 2: it out. I think it just, you know, again kind
Speaker 2: of you talk about his size and his frame, and
Speaker 2: I think we'll continue to see that emerged there. But
Speaker 2: I would have with you that Chuck, you know, using
Speaker 2: this week, might have a chance to really elevate himself
Speaker 2: kind of throughout the entire quarterback landscape in.
Speaker 1: This four degrees. I don't know if IVE ever heard
Speaker 1: a quarterback who has four degrees.
Speaker 2: Well, you played for three years at Oregon, three years
Speaker 2: at Texas Tech, and finish out a year majoring in
Speaker 2: football at Louisville.
Speaker 3: You go to feel pretty good about.
Speaker 1: It, no question. All right, let's get to the other
Speaker 1: side here, the American team. We can start right there
Speaker 1: at the quarterback position. Kind of a no frills day
Speaker 1: from Jackson Dart. I thought there was some issues just
Speaker 1: trying to get snaps for all these quarterbacks, which threw
Speaker 1: off some of the rhythm. But he was fine. I
Speaker 1: don't think anything stood out one way or the other.
Speaker 1: Milroe had an interception on one that was I thought
Speaker 1: the result of a fumbled exchange and just late getting
Speaker 1: the top of his drop a couple extra hitches. Kaiser,
Speaker 1: the linebacker from Notre Dame, ends up picking them off.
Speaker 3: Yeah, and you know that was a on the flip side.
Speaker 2: That's a plus play for Kaiser, right, you know, he
Speaker 2: gets some ball production there and he was all over
Speaker 2: the place. We'll get to him in a moment, but
Speaker 2: I would agree with you. Milroe, though, did kind of
Speaker 2: bounce back he had a long completion to Jack Besh
Speaker 2: and you know, while it wasn't the most perfect throw,
Speaker 2: I think as a quarterback you're also understanding who's out there,
Speaker 2: and with Jack Besh, he's a guy who's going to
Speaker 2: go up and get it for you. He's got that
Speaker 2: physical frame, contested catchability. That's what he did on that play.
Speaker 2: I think went up there against mac McWilliams from UCF
Speaker 2: and that was one of the highlights of the day
Speaker 2: and of the week really for Milroe.
Speaker 1: Yeah, nice job there. Riley Leonard dropped arm angles a
Speaker 1: couple of times. I wouldn't say that he's just, you know,
Speaker 1: a purely natural thrower, but his time is going to
Speaker 1: come in the game when he can move around. I
Speaker 1: think him and Milroe are going to be better Saturday
Speaker 1: guys than they are going to be Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday guys.
Speaker 2: I would actually say MVP candidates on that front because
Speaker 2: of that ability to have that dual threat for him.
Speaker 2: And then you know, we again we don't talk about
Speaker 2: the running backs a lot here, but I'll say that
Speaker 2: Devin Neil had one of the runs of the day,
Speaker 2: kind of a multiple cut where he was able to
Speaker 2: kind of have it what would have been an explosive run.
Speaker 2: Marcus Yarns has showcased some serious speed and I think,
Speaker 2: you know again where you know, not having a belcal
Speaker 2: type of back, you want to look for guys that
Speaker 2: can fill a certain need for you in that room.
Speaker 3: He might be one of those guys.
Speaker 1: Yeah, it's definitely turned into a committe league unless you
Speaker 1: got one of those rare guys, and he's someone that
Speaker 1: can definitely provide that particular role. The tight ends continue
Speaker 1: to be good man. Mason Taylor another solid day today.
Speaker 1: Jackson Hawes did a nice job in pass protection, one
Speaker 1: of those one on one drills, you know, competing. I
Speaker 1: love his competitiveness. A big tight end. A lot of
Speaker 1: big tight ends in this game. There's been other years
Speaker 1: where it's like just bulked up receivers. I feel like
Speaker 1: we got some guys with some size who could play
Speaker 1: in the line.
Speaker 2: One of those Jake Brenningstool, who left Clemson, is the
Speaker 2: most productive receiver in Tiger program history. There he caught
Speaker 2: a bunshit passes today. It's kind of one of the
Speaker 2: favorite targets, so it's good to see him get some
Speaker 2: of that production. We didn't see him a ton on
Speaker 2: Day one, but that's kind of what it's all about.
Speaker 2: Get guys a bit more comfortable, get the quarterbacks a
Speaker 2: bit more comfortable, and start firing off some.
Speaker 3: Of these completions. But I would agree with you on
Speaker 3: the tight ends.
Speaker 1: We get to the receiver position. You mentioned Besh had
Speaker 1: a nice play down the field. Anybody else from this
Speaker 1: group stand out to.
Speaker 2: I thought Isaac Taslaw had a really a good one
Speaker 2: on one period, and I don't know that we've had
Speaker 2: the kind of the Lad Maconkey type resime.
Speaker 1: No, you know what I need to I need to
Speaker 1: go back though, and I need to give some love
Speaker 1: to the Washington State receiver because Kyle Williams in that
Speaker 1: national team, that national practice, he's done a nice job
Speaker 1: getting off press separate in the top of routes. But
Speaker 1: I'm with you in terms of overall receiver position. It's
Speaker 1: not a great receiver draft. And I don't know that
Speaker 1: anybody's taking the bull by the horns here to kind
Speaker 1: of separate from this group.
Speaker 3: I would say you kind of hit it there. Kyle
Speaker 3: Williams has been one of those guys.
Speaker 2: So was Jayden Higgins today from Iowa State was a
Speaker 2: guy who used, you know, his big frame and still
Speaker 2: was able to kind of showcase some quickness getting off
Speaker 2: the line with his release package. So yeah, Isaac Taslaw
Speaker 2: I thought was good. Ty Felton had had a strong
Speaker 2: hands catch on the sideline today that reminded me. That
Speaker 2: reminded me of some and then I don't know that
Speaker 2: we showed it on NFL Network today just because there's
Speaker 2: a lot of things going on at once. But Arian
Speaker 2: Smith had had a deep ball catch for a touchdown
Speaker 2: that was pretty impressive as well.
Speaker 1: Yeah. No, it's definitely cool to see some individual highlights,
Speaker 1: but waiting for somebody to kind of take over and
Speaker 1: establish themselves as the cream of the crop.
Speaker 3: Here.
Speaker 1: Let's go to the trenches here. Offensive line, defensive line.
Speaker 1: It's always fun to watch those guys. I thought, I'll
Speaker 1: start us off on the defensive side. Shamar Stewart by
Speaker 1: far his best of the two days. He was speed,
Speaker 1: it was power, it was one on ones, it was
Speaker 1: team You just don't it's hard to find guys that
Speaker 1: are six five, two hundred and eighty pounds with thirty
Speaker 1: four and a half inch arms that can move like
Speaker 1: he could.
Speaker 2: Move yeah, And I think we saw a nice battle
Speaker 2: developing throughout the day in this practice between Shamar Stuart
Speaker 2: and Emery Jones from LSU, so much.
Speaker 3: So that they called them back out there for the
Speaker 3: competition period.
Speaker 2: In fact, it was one repon team and remind me
Speaker 2: of you called this out or not, But Emory Jones
Speaker 2: washes Shamar Stewart all the way down the formation and
Speaker 2: then kind of lays on top of him.
Speaker 3: I don't know, I wouldn't call it a pancake, but
Speaker 3: got him to the ground. It was a knockdown for sure.
Speaker 2: And and so then those guys come back in the
Speaker 2: competition period and they get no, it wasn't Shamar Stewart.
Speaker 1: Yeah, Shamar Stewart cooked him with a sack. He cooked
Speaker 1: him in the one on ones, and then he got
Speaker 1: a sack in the team period on him and yelled
Speaker 1: all yelled at the top of his lungs.
Speaker 3: That's right, exactly right.
Speaker 2: And then Baron Surrell and Emory had a chance to
Speaker 2: go at it in the competition period and they got
Speaker 2: three cracks at it, one one, one the other, and
Speaker 2: then they tied.
Speaker 3: On the third. So maybe we'll get the true rubber
Speaker 3: match on it tomorrow.
Speaker 1: Yeah, No, it was fun to watch. Those one on
Speaker 1: one periods at the end are a lot of fun
Speaker 1: offensive line wise. Anybody else you want to get to here,
Speaker 1: I thought, I get. I got to give Lampkin a
Speaker 1: lot of love. Man, when you're under five eleven, you're
Speaker 1: two hundred and seventy pounds at center and you're going
Speaker 1: up against some of these monsters. Man, he competed. You know,
Speaker 1: Walter Nolan is the most talented defensive lineman, interior defensive
Speaker 1: lineman in the game. He handled him a couple of
Speaker 1: times in team I was impressed.
Speaker 2: Jackson Slater from Sacramento State also, I thought, showed up
Speaker 2: today more so than Day one. The interior played a
Speaker 2: lot of guard at Sex State. I think we saw
Speaker 2: him even snap the ball a couple of times here
Speaker 2: he got I think he got one of the reps
Speaker 2: on the competition period at the end and won the rep.
Speaker 3: So he was good.
Speaker 2: Carson Vinson continues to put a good week together from
Speaker 2: Alabama A and m out at left tackle, and yeah,
Speaker 2: I think that covers it for me for day two
Speaker 2: for the offensive line group on the flip side, if
Speaker 2: we're going to the trenches, Dion Walker.
Speaker 3: Had a better day for himself.
Speaker 1: Hey guys, Pad's know, yeah.
Speaker 2: Exactly, and look and that's that's tough on a guy
Speaker 2: like Willie Lampkin, who he was lined up with a
Speaker 2: bunch on day one, you know, six foot seven going
Speaker 2: up against five foot ten, but he did well.
Speaker 3: You know what was.
Speaker 2: Interesting to me today maybe one of the more intriguing
Speaker 2: things to kind of file away Prince ely Uma Meellen,
Speaker 2: who is about two hundred and fifty pounds, was lining
Speaker 2: up a bunch not just in one on ones, but
Speaker 2: in the team drills as kind of like a NASCAR package,
Speaker 2: you know, three technique, and boy did we see that
Speaker 2: quickness getting through some of the interior guys.
Speaker 1: It's just not fair. I mean, he's got he's got
Speaker 1: so much burst and Juice did no clue where to
Speaker 1: line up. They were having to line him up. He
Speaker 1: didn't know where to go. But when he eventually got
Speaker 1: where were supposed to be, he was impactful. As we
Speaker 1: as we go back to the secondary, I was I
Speaker 1: was all on Dan Jackson today from Georgia, who was
Speaker 1: all around the field, did a great job. But one
Speaker 1: on ones their safety obviously, you've got Malachi Starks and
Speaker 1: the much heralded safety as a teammate. He kind of
Speaker 1: gets lost in the shuffle there, but man, he had
Speaker 1: a good day covered well one on ones and a team.
Speaker 1: He showed up in the run period as well.
Speaker 2: Yeah, and if we kind of continue going on the
Speaker 2: corners and safeties.
Speaker 3: I thought Billy.
Speaker 2: Bowman showed up again from Oklahoma. I think he put
Speaker 2: up some good GPS speed numbers. Maxwell Harriston continues to
Speaker 2: be one of the best in show, kind of overall amongst.
Speaker 3: Any position group.
Speaker 2: He had another great day to day and boy does
Speaker 2: that dude have a smile and an infectious type of personality.
Speaker 1: What did he say is game team as Game Day, nameless.
Speaker 3: Mad Nax, mad Max. Yeah, kind of like the movie.
Speaker 2: Dante Trader showed up again from Maryland today, although on
Speaker 2: the playoff talking about earlier from Devin Neil, the running
Speaker 2: back out of Kansas, Dante had a kind of dead
Speaker 2: to right shot. Obviously he's not going to try, not
Speaker 2: gonna light him up, but Neil joked him out of
Speaker 2: his socks on that one, so you know, look, win
Speaker 2: some loose on some of those. But I thought he
Speaker 2: did a pretty good job on the on the whole
Speaker 2: kind of creating some some splash plays.
Speaker 1: I think that pretty much covers it in terms of
Speaker 1: what we saw today. As we wrap this thing up here,
Speaker 1: we get looked forward to another day of practice and
Speaker 1: then the game on Saturday. There is one NFL thing
Speaker 1: I want to hit on before we get out of here.
Speaker 1: Kellen Moore looking like he's got a real shot at
Speaker 1: the at the Saints gig. As someone who grew up
Speaker 1: in New Orleans. I'm going to give you the floor there.
Speaker 1: You like that move?
Speaker 3: I think I would.
Speaker 2: I mean, it's hard to say when you know we're
Speaker 2: projecting coaches, right, He's never been a head coach. Ben
Speaker 2: play called had been a really good one. I know
Speaker 2: you got to know him a little bit from his
Speaker 2: from his time in LA with the Chargers. Think he's
Speaker 2: done a real nice job kind of orchestrating the offense
Speaker 2: for Nick Sirianni and Philly this year. Obviously they're sitting
Speaker 2: there in the in the postseason. It helps when you
Speaker 2: can turn around and hand it off to a two
Speaker 2: thousand yard running back as well.
Speaker 3: Look, they've got talent in New Orleans.
Speaker 2: The thing that I don't that gives me reservation, and
Speaker 2: not because of Callen, but because of the Saint situation.
Speaker 2: It just feels like they need one of those resets.
Speaker 2: And it's kind of been a band aid approach for
Speaker 2: the last couple of years. And you wonder, you know,
Speaker 2: if you're kind of hamstring hamstrung with the cap and
Speaker 2: you're just trying to kind of try to patch things up,
Speaker 2: is that a place where a first time head coach
Speaker 2: can thrive. Maybe maybe it is. Is it gonna be
Speaker 2: Derek Carr? Is that even gonna be his quarterback? I
Speaker 2: think there's a lot of unanswered questions that this type
Speaker 2: of hire would kind of present as we go forward.
Speaker 1: I think it's interesting. I like the idea of just
Speaker 1: kind of getting outside the family a little bit. You know,
Speaker 1: there was talk they were going to get guys that
Speaker 1: had been previously been assistant and now obviously Dan Campbell's
Speaker 1: don a bang up job with Detroit Eron Glynn's going
Speaker 1: to get his shot with the Jets. Dennis Allen had
Speaker 1: come back there to be the head coach, so it's
Speaker 1: kind of like, Okay, let's let's just get outside of that.
Speaker 1: I feel like the Patriots and I hope it works
Speaker 1: out with Rabel, but I feel like they're just it's
Speaker 1: just the next iteration of Belichick. And I'm kind of
Speaker 1: like the Saints, let's just get a let's get a
Speaker 1: new fresh start here.
Speaker 3: That's what this would be.
Speaker 2: And look, Mike McCarthy would have been you know, I'm
Speaker 2: not calling it a retread, but certainly familiarity there from
Speaker 2: his time, you know, with Sean Payton in New Orleans
Speaker 2: and he pulled himself out of the search. So yeah,
Speaker 2: it does feel like it's kind of Kellen's Kellen's opportunity
Speaker 2: at this point. But we'll see anything could happen. I
Speaker 2: do think that that part of it does create a
Speaker 2: fresh mindset, and I think that could be something that's
Speaker 2: that's very needed in New Orleans.
Speaker 1: And I think also Kellen's seen when you build up
Speaker 1: a line of scrimmage and you've got a study running back,
Speaker 1: good things can happen. And they've got the makings of
Speaker 1: some good pieces along that offensive line. Floag as a rookie,
Speaker 1: I think, is going to be a really good player
Speaker 1: for them going forward.
Speaker 3: You know.
Speaker 1: See it seems like at the running back position, Alvi
Speaker 1: Kamara is gonna play at least fifty. I don't know.
Speaker 2: Sure, Chris Olave didn't play a whole lot this year
Speaker 2: because he was hurt. You know, you get that piece back,
Speaker 2: and we forgot how good he was as a rookie
Speaker 2: just because we didn't see him a ton this year.
Speaker 2: And yeah, I mean, like there's some stuff, but the
Speaker 2: defense is getting a little bit older, right Cam Jordan.
Speaker 2: The Mario Davis, Marshall Lattimore is now gone. I think
Speaker 2: this is a big draft for New Orleans to kind
Speaker 2: of refill the coffers here a little bit for a
Speaker 2: new head coach.
Speaker 1: We'll see what happens there. But one of your take
Speaker 1: on that as our New Orleans Uh well, we don't
Speaker 1: say resident, what do I say New Orleans? Uh yeah, yeah, sure,
Speaker 1: let's go with that in New Orleans native. All right,
Speaker 1: it's been it's been fun down here at the reach
Speaker 1: of Senior Bowl. We will have more coming your way.
Speaker 1: We'll get definitely going to have an opportunity to recap
Speaker 1: the game what we see there. Uh TV deal, whether
Speaker 1: we get another episode between now and then, we're efforting.
Speaker 1: We're efforting. But I mean, yeah, this couch, you know,
Speaker 1: this is this is a lot of content for this
Speaker 1: for this case. Get him out here, all right. We
Speaker 1: gotta we gotta wrap this up. I get it right
Speaker 1: out of my room. I appreciate you guys. We will
Speaker 1: see you next time. Right here, unmoved the sticks
