We do something that we don't usually do. 3 00:00:21,920 --> 00:00:24,160 Speaker 1: We don't have that many guests on this show. Might 4 00:00:24,239 --> 00:00:27,400 Speaker 1: change in the offseason. But we have coach Dickert, who 5 00:00:27,480 --> 00:00:31,160 Speaker 1: is the head coach of Wake Forest, but who coached 6 00:00:31,680 --> 00:00:35,040 Speaker 1: cam Ward for two years at Washington State. He was 7 00:00:35,080 --> 00:00:38,160 Speaker 1: the head coach of Washington State. Cam Ward was there 8 00:00:38,320 --> 00:00:41,640 Speaker 1: last year. He coached John Mattier, who was one of 9 00:00:41,720 --> 00:00:46,440 Speaker 1: the biggest transfer portal quarterbacks, left Washington State to Oklahoma 10 00:00:47,159 --> 00:00:51,360 Speaker 1: for seven figures. He also was an assistant coach for 11 00:00:51,440 --> 00:00:55,240 Speaker 1: Wyoming Josh Allen's senior year. So this guy's this guy's 12 00:00:55,240 --> 00:00:58,360 Speaker 1: seen a lot of quarterbacks and we will dive into 13 00:00:58,400 --> 00:01:03,360 Speaker 1: everything nil scouting reports.

And we'll get into he might 57 00:03:21,320 --> 00:03:24,160 Speaker 1: be a quarterback guru even though he's a defensive guy, 58 00:03:24,160 --> 00:03:27,200 Speaker 1: but his roote swide receiver offensive guy.

But it's a crazy time of college football. 63 00:03:36,760 --> 00:03:39,320 Speaker 2: And we're in the best profession you could ever be in. 64 00:03:40,200 --> 00:03:42,320 Speaker 1: How's you know what's crazy? I was looking, you know, 65 00:03:42,360 --> 00:03:44,520 Speaker 1: you go to a coach's Wikipedia, and I watched some 66 00:03:44,560 --> 00:03:47,040 Speaker 1: of the interviews you did. I mean, like most people 67 00:03:47,040 --> 00:03:49,720 Speaker 1: coming up, you had what I saw, you say, seven 68 00:03:49,800 --> 00:03:51,840 Speaker 1: jobs in eight years or something. Crazy. If I would 69 00:03:51,840 --> 00:03:54,440 Speaker 1: have told you a decade ago that you'd be headed 70 00:03:54,440 --> 00:03:57,360 Speaker 1: into the twenty twenty five season, you'd be coaching against 71 00:03:57,400 --> 00:04:00,000 Speaker 1: Bill Belichick, would you have thought you were the coach 72 00:04:00,080 --> 00:04:01,080 Speaker 1: of the New York Jets. 73 00:04:02,480 --> 00:04:04,760 Speaker 2: Well, I was a big Packer fan Chiefs had growing up, 74 00:04:04,800 --> 00:04:06,880 Speaker 2: so I would take that. At the at the least, 75 00:04:07,640 --> 00:04:09,839 Speaker 2: My goal was to be a math teacher and coach 76 00:04:09,840 --> 00:04:12,720 Speaker 2: at Kimberly High School, right, so to be able to 77 00:04:12,760 --> 00:04:15,840 Speaker 2: swerve into college and to make this climb up college football, 78 00:04:16,360 --> 00:04:18,719 Speaker 2: you know, started that Division III. John I was the 79 00:04:18,760 --> 00:04:21,240 Speaker 2: graduate assistant that was painting the lines, that was doing 80 00:04:21,279 --> 00:04:23,760 Speaker 2: the video, that was half equipment guy. 81 00:04:24,200 --> 00:04:25,279 Speaker 3: You know, DB's coach. 82 00:04:25,320 --> 00:04:27,800 Speaker 2: And just gotta to be around the right people at 83 00:04:27,800 --> 00:04:30,320 Speaker 2: the right time and work my way all the way up. 84 00:04:30,320 --> 00:04:32,560 Speaker 2: And I got a unique perspective, right, there's a thin 85 00:04:32,680 --> 00:04:35,520 Speaker 2: line between playing at all these levels and I think 86 00:04:35,560 --> 00:04:38,800 Speaker 2: sometimes the transfer portal shows that now. But at a 87 00:04:38,800 --> 00:04:41,120 Speaker 2: great place here in wake Forest and an amazing league 88 00:04:41,120 --> 00:04:44,960 Speaker 2: in the ACC and ready to compete, do you you. 89 00:04:44,920 --> 00:04:48,000 Speaker 1: Know, you're it was fair to call you a Midwest 90 00:04:48,040 --> 00:04:50,320 Speaker 1: guy at heart coaching Dakotas for a long time and 91 00:04:50,360 --> 00:04:52,880 Speaker 1: then spend some time on the West Coast going to 92 00:04:52,960 --> 00:04:55,760 Speaker 1: Wake Forest. Obviously, it's an incredible opportunity and a big, 93 00:04:56,080 --> 00:04:59,840 Speaker 1: you know, big conference. Is that just in the landscape 94 00:04:59,839 --> 00:05:02,360 Speaker 1: of college football? Now you're write a program that. I mean, 95 00:05:02,640 --> 00:05:05,120 Speaker 1: I'm from Sacramento area, so the Pac twelve grew up 96 00:05:05,120 --> 00:05:08,719 Speaker 1: going to Memorial Stadium Cow games, and that conference disappeared 97 00:05:09,040 --> 00:05:10,800 Speaker 1: on your watch when you were in it, and you 98 00:05:10,880 --> 00:05:14,280 Speaker 1: were on the wrong side of that. I mean, uh, 99 00:05:16,080 --> 00:05:19,240 Speaker 1: because I'm a big believer sometimes in regions with coaches 100 00:05:19,560 --> 00:05:22,159 Speaker 1: you know, you know, so this is a pretty big move. 101 00:05:22,279 --> 00:05:24,920 Speaker 1: But given the opportunity was just something you couldn't say 102 00:05:25,000 --> 00:05:25,240 Speaker 1: no to. 103 00:05:25,839 --> 00:05:27,280 Speaker 2: Oh, it's one of those things down as you look 104 00:05:27,279 --> 00:05:30,200 Speaker 2: at the landscape of college football, you know, for the 105 00:05:30,200 --> 00:05:34,320 Speaker 2: West Coast to lose a prestigious West Coast league, I 106 00:05:34,360 --> 00:05:36,280 Speaker 2: still think to this day is still a shame, right 107 00:05:36,320 --> 00:05:39,279 Speaker 2: for those kids, for those fans for regional rivalries, for 108 00:05:39,360 --> 00:05:43,160 Speaker 2: everything that comes with the pageantry and passion of college football. 109 00:05:43,600 --> 00:05:45,800 Speaker 2: You know, you kind of step back when this opportunity 110 00:05:45,839 --> 00:05:48,559 Speaker 2: came up. You start looking at the portal. You start 111 00:05:48,640 --> 00:05:51,880 Speaker 2: seeing the region of the Pacific Northwest being harder, you know, 112 00:05:51,960 --> 00:05:54,400 Speaker 2: to get some kids to be able to come there. 113 00:05:54,560 --> 00:05:55,600 Speaker 3: And you know, the. 114 00:05:55,560 --> 00:05:58,200 Speaker 2: One double as the group of fives. You know, ninety 115 00:05:58,200 --> 00:06:01,400 Speaker 2: percent of those leagues are coast on down the South 116 00:06:01,440 --> 00:06:04,240 Speaker 2: into Texas, and you got to be where the people are. 117 00:06:04,360 --> 00:06:06,560 Speaker 3: And I think that's just kind of what this came into. 118 00:06:06,960 --> 00:06:09,520 Speaker 2: And the more I studied about Wake Forest, the more 119 00:06:09,560 --> 00:06:12,640 Speaker 2: I discovered they're ready to win, right. And I think 120 00:06:12,680 --> 00:06:15,679 Speaker 2: the one thing is that no one expects anything about 121 00:06:15,720 --> 00:06:18,320 Speaker 2: what we are. We're the winning this program in P 122 00:06:18,400 --> 00:06:20,040 Speaker 2: four in the state of North Carolina in the last 123 00:06:20,040 --> 00:06:23,159 Speaker 2: twenty five years. We're the only one in the state 124 00:06:23,360 --> 00:06:26,320 Speaker 2: to win an ACC championship. Have been playing another right, 125 00:06:26,360 --> 00:06:28,640 Speaker 2: so it has been done. I get to stand on 126 00:06:28,760 --> 00:06:31,719 Speaker 2: a program that has a great foundation that's committed to 127 00:06:31,760 --> 00:06:34,440 Speaker 2: winning in this region of the country in North Carolina 128 00:06:34,480 --> 00:06:35,120 Speaker 2: is a big part. 129 00:06:35,000 --> 00:06:35,640 Speaker 3: Of why we're here. 130 00:06:37,040 --> 00:06:39,520 Speaker 1: Well, I want to talk a little bit about your background. 131 00:06:39,720 --> 00:06:43,600 Speaker 1: I'm always fascinated by You were a wide receiver in college. Correct, 132 00:06:45,240 --> 00:06:46,560 Speaker 1: a D three wide receiver. 133 00:06:46,680 --> 00:06:50,200 Speaker 3: I look like a fullback now. John. It's a tough bridge, but. 134 00:06:50,920 --> 00:06:53,760 Speaker 1: Your background, the highest level in what you played was offense. 135 00:06:53,800 --> 00:06:57,240 Speaker 1: But then your coaching career takes off on defense and 136 00:06:57,320 --> 00:06:59,719 Speaker 1: you came up and became a head coach and you're 137 00:07:00,160 --> 00:07:02,680 Speaker 1: defensive guy. But your offenses, I mean in Washington State 138 00:07:02,800 --> 00:07:05,640 Speaker 1: you had cam Ward for a couple of years, I 139 00:07:05,680 --> 00:07:09,040 Speaker 1: mean have been fantastic. Is that something. Did you ever 140 00:07:09,080 --> 00:07:11,160 Speaker 1: look to pivot as your career was taken off or 141 00:07:11,160 --> 00:07:12,720 Speaker 1: did you just get so in deep it was like 142 00:07:12,800 --> 00:07:15,160 Speaker 1: it's like a relationship with the ladies, like yeah, she 143 00:07:15,320 --> 00:07:17,040 Speaker 1: just might be the one and you just let them rip. 144 00:07:17,560 --> 00:07:20,760 Speaker 2: Well, I think unique story. Like I played offense. My 145 00:07:20,800 --> 00:07:23,160 Speaker 2: brother was still on the teams when I came back 146 00:07:23,200 --> 00:07:25,320 Speaker 2: to be a GA. Our head coach was like, you 147 00:07:25,400 --> 00:07:27,680 Speaker 2: can't coach on the same side as your brother. So 148 00:07:27,720 --> 00:07:29,280 Speaker 2: I ended up thinking I was just gonna do the 149 00:07:29,320 --> 00:07:32,400 Speaker 2: defensive thing for a year. The greatest opportunity in my 150 00:07:32,520 --> 00:07:35,160 Speaker 2: life came as a graduate assistant under Craig Bowl, my 151 00:07:35,200 --> 00:07:38,000 Speaker 2: greatest mentor in North Dakota State, and I learned a 152 00:07:38,080 --> 00:07:41,520 Speaker 2: system of defense, and I just learned to fit my personality. 153 00:07:41,600 --> 00:07:44,240 Speaker 3: I'm a math guy. I see things a certain way. 154 00:07:44,280 --> 00:07:46,720 Speaker 2: You got to be a problem solver as a defensive coach, 155 00:07:47,120 --> 00:07:49,160 Speaker 2: and I just started to work my way up college 156 00:07:49,200 --> 00:07:52,480 Speaker 2: football and I just enjoyed it. You know, offense is 157 00:07:52,480 --> 00:07:55,000 Speaker 2: almost too easy, John, right, But I know when we 158 00:07:55,240 --> 00:07:58,000 Speaker 2: took over the head job at Washington State, you gotta 159 00:07:58,000 --> 00:08:00,440 Speaker 2: be able to score points. The rules are in so 160 00:08:00,520 --> 00:08:03,400 Speaker 2: the offenses can go out there and win, and quarterback 161 00:08:03,480 --> 00:08:05,720 Speaker 2: is a premium position. And you know, I got to 162 00:08:05,720 --> 00:08:09,280 Speaker 2: see Josh Allen's senior year at the University of Wyoming 163 00:08:09,680 --> 00:08:12,280 Speaker 2: when I was there coaching obviously cam Ward for a 164 00:08:12,280 --> 00:08:15,160 Speaker 2: couple of years at Washington State. Followed that up by 165 00:08:15,200 --> 00:08:18,080 Speaker 2: a you know, really a Heisman campaign of John Mattier 166 00:08:18,160 --> 00:08:20,960 Speaker 2: there last year. Where we're at, so we see some 167 00:08:21,000 --> 00:08:23,720 Speaker 2: really high offenses and you know, while we get to 168 00:08:23,720 --> 00:08:26,000 Speaker 2: put our stamp on a little bit different because I 169 00:08:26,040 --> 00:08:27,520 Speaker 2: think we have one of the best players in the 170 00:08:27,520 --> 00:08:29,920 Speaker 2: country here in Demon Claiborne that no one talks about 171 00:08:29,920 --> 00:08:31,960 Speaker 2: it running back. So we're gonna be able to do 172 00:08:32,000 --> 00:08:33,440 Speaker 2: it again. Just do it in a little bit of 173 00:08:33,440 --> 00:08:34,120 Speaker 2: different fashion. 174 00:08:34,640 --> 00:08:37,480 Speaker 1: Well, I want to talk about that. It's fair to 175 00:08:37,520 --> 00:08:39,280 Speaker 1: say one of your big breaks was getting hired at 176 00:08:39,280 --> 00:08:42,200 Speaker 1: Wyoming I think in twenty seventeen a safety coach. That 177 00:08:42,360 --> 00:08:45,800 Speaker 1: means you know you're going up against the offense, especially 178 00:08:45,880 --> 00:08:48,600 Speaker 1: in training camp. And you have Chris Mortensen and had 179 00:08:48,640 --> 00:08:51,160 Speaker 1: that tweet after the draft to basically keep an eye 180 00:08:51,200 --> 00:08:53,080 Speaker 1: on Josh Allen. So the hype was there. When you 181 00:08:53,120 --> 00:08:56,480 Speaker 1: have the job, What was that experience like coaching your 182 00:08:56,520 --> 00:08:59,760 Speaker 1: DBS every day against Josh Allen, who was probably letting 183 00:08:59,800 --> 00:09:02,360 Speaker 1: hun mon Our fastballs just rip all over layer of 184 00:09:02,360 --> 00:09:03,000 Speaker 1: me Wyoming. 185 00:09:03,400 --> 00:09:05,160 Speaker 3: It's one of those things, especially in the thin air. 186 00:09:05,280 --> 00:09:07,480 Speaker 2: I walked out to the first practice and you hear 187 00:09:07,520 --> 00:09:09,560 Speaker 2: the hype of Josh and obviously what he did the 188 00:09:09,600 --> 00:09:13,240 Speaker 2: year before, he threw his first field side comeback to 189 00:09:13,280 --> 00:09:15,720 Speaker 2: the bottom of the numbers, and it was unlike anything 190 00:09:15,760 --> 00:09:16,440 Speaker 2: I've ever seen. 191 00:09:16,520 --> 00:09:19,880 Speaker 3: A frozen rope. There's no lob to it. 192 00:09:19,920 --> 00:09:22,400 Speaker 2: And the biggest thing though about John or why I 193 00:09:22,440 --> 00:09:24,920 Speaker 2: knew he was going to be successful, is that just 194 00:09:25,040 --> 00:09:26,960 Speaker 2: the person he was, he knew he was a first 195 00:09:27,040 --> 00:09:29,400 Speaker 2: round draft pick. The way he carried himself in the 196 00:09:29,400 --> 00:09:33,040 Speaker 2: locker room. The leadership abilities Josh possessed was just and 197 00:09:33,040 --> 00:09:35,720 Speaker 2: he didn't have the greatest season, and scouts would come 198 00:09:35,720 --> 00:09:37,880 Speaker 2: around and they'd ask, you know, what do you think. 199 00:09:38,200 --> 00:09:40,920 Speaker 2: I said, guys, take him right, don't worry about his footwork. 200 00:09:40,920 --> 00:09:43,600 Speaker 2: He's a playmaker, he's a competitor. He has that it 201 00:09:43,760 --> 00:09:45,720 Speaker 2: factor in the locker room, and these guys love to 202 00:09:45,720 --> 00:09:48,000 Speaker 2: play for him. It was just it was different. And 203 00:09:48,080 --> 00:09:49,480 Speaker 2: to see him go out there and have tons of 204 00:09:49,520 --> 00:09:52,600 Speaker 2: success in the NFL, it's like that that's what it takes, 205 00:09:52,679 --> 00:09:53,720 Speaker 2: is more than just a great. 206 00:09:53,640 --> 00:09:55,679 Speaker 1: Arm because one of the knocks, like you said that 207 00:09:55,720 --> 00:09:57,640 Speaker 1: the stats weren't that great, but you guys had just 208 00:09:57,760 --> 00:10:00,360 Speaker 1: lost right, his number one wide receiver, I think, a 209 00:10:00,400 --> 00:10:02,240 Speaker 1: tight end and maybe a running back or like a 210 00:10:02,240 --> 00:10:04,319 Speaker 1: lot of his skill guys from the previous year were gone. 211 00:10:04,360 --> 00:10:06,160 Speaker 1: A couple of them played in the NFL, so I 212 00:10:06,200 --> 00:10:07,880 Speaker 1: mean they were high end guys. It was a pretty 213 00:10:07,880 --> 00:10:08,440 Speaker 1: big loss. 214 00:10:08,880 --> 00:10:12,719 Speaker 2: Yeah, he lost an NFL center, tight end, receiver, tailback right, 215 00:10:12,840 --> 00:10:15,600 Speaker 2: so he carried the shoulder of the load. We were 216 00:10:15,640 --> 00:10:18,360 Speaker 2: really good defensively, and I thought we played well as 217 00:10:18,360 --> 00:10:20,600 Speaker 2: a team, and we had seven nflers on our side 218 00:10:20,600 --> 00:10:23,360 Speaker 2: of the football. So, I mean, Josh was just a special, 219 00:10:23,440 --> 00:10:26,199 Speaker 2: unique talent and it really showed like what it takes 220 00:10:26,200 --> 00:10:29,360 Speaker 2: to play that position at a premium level. And you know, 221 00:10:29,559 --> 00:10:31,959 Speaker 2: he knew he came back in the bowl game he 222 00:10:32,040 --> 00:10:33,320 Speaker 2: was going to be a first round pick. A lot 223 00:10:33,320 --> 00:10:35,679 Speaker 2: of kids wouldn't do that, right, just showed his kind 224 00:10:35,679 --> 00:10:37,240 Speaker 2: of love and passion to play this game. 225 00:10:37,800 --> 00:10:42,080 Speaker 1: Did your experience being around Josh impact the recruitment because 226 00:10:42,120 --> 00:10:43,720 Speaker 1: you were the full time head coach by the time 227 00:10:43,720 --> 00:10:45,880 Speaker 1: you recruited cam Ward correct, yep. 228 00:10:46,000 --> 00:10:48,520 Speaker 2: Yeah, and it was a unique situation. We knew we 229 00:10:48,520 --> 00:10:52,040 Speaker 2: needed to make a change. Cam was the best, obviously 230 00:10:52,080 --> 00:10:54,840 Speaker 2: portal target on the market. We hired his head coach 231 00:10:54,880 --> 00:10:58,640 Speaker 2: as our offensive coordinator, and it was amazing just getting to. 232 00:10:58,600 --> 00:11:02,000 Speaker 3: Know him and his family. To know Cam is to 233 00:11:02,000 --> 00:11:03,439 Speaker 3: know his mom and dad, right. 234 00:11:03,480 --> 00:11:06,080 Speaker 2: His mom is one of the toughest recruiting moms I've 235 00:11:06,080 --> 00:11:06,920 Speaker 2: ever been around. 236 00:11:07,360 --> 00:11:08,720 Speaker 3: Ms Patrice. She's great. 237 00:11:09,120 --> 00:11:11,480 Speaker 2: Every time I saw her, she would come up to 238 00:11:11,480 --> 00:11:14,240 Speaker 2: me and say, Coach, you better be coaching Cam hard. 239 00:11:14,640 --> 00:11:16,960 Speaker 2: You better not be allowing him to just look past 240 00:11:17,000 --> 00:11:19,559 Speaker 2: some of these mistakes. And I think that's the foundation 241 00:11:19,679 --> 00:11:22,680 Speaker 2: of the way he grew up his story being a 242 00:11:22,720 --> 00:11:25,920 Speaker 2: wing tea quarterback, coming out of high school only having 243 00:11:25,920 --> 00:11:29,080 Speaker 2: the one offer, and then coming by us where we 244 00:11:29,080 --> 00:11:32,319 Speaker 2: weren't established enough on offense, we lost a lot, right, 245 00:11:32,360 --> 00:11:34,800 Speaker 2: so he carried the load. He's one of the most 246 00:11:34,800 --> 00:11:37,839 Speaker 2: competitive people I've ever been around Zoon. I mean that 247 00:11:37,880 --> 00:11:40,360 Speaker 2: from the way he carries himself, to the way he practices, 248 00:11:40,840 --> 00:11:44,040 Speaker 2: to the way he attacks things. And I believe he 249 00:11:44,080 --> 00:11:46,560 Speaker 2: grew up a lot in his two years at Washington State. 250 00:11:46,920 --> 00:11:48,679 Speaker 1: Was that the first year of the transfer portal when 251 00:11:48,720 --> 00:11:50,960 Speaker 1: you landed him, was that take a first. 252 00:11:50,840 --> 00:11:52,960 Speaker 2: Year, but it was the first kind of big year. 253 00:11:53,160 --> 00:11:55,479 Speaker 2: You know, there still was only a one time transfer, 254 00:11:55,720 --> 00:11:58,839 Speaker 2: you know. I think even after you know, Eric left 255 00:11:58,840 --> 00:12:00,680 Speaker 2: to go be the head coach at North Texas, you know, 256 00:12:00,720 --> 00:12:03,200 Speaker 2: he had to stay because he didn't graduate yet. But 257 00:12:03,200 --> 00:12:05,120 Speaker 2: it's one of the best things that ever happened to him, 258 00:12:05,160 --> 00:12:10,360 Speaker 2: John Is because he now came under coach Rbuckles the oct. 259 00:12:09,880 --> 00:12:12,520 Speaker 3: Oklahoma and he had to learn a new drop. 260 00:12:12,559 --> 00:12:14,520 Speaker 2: He had to be with someone else in the room, 261 00:12:14,920 --> 00:12:16,320 Speaker 2: and I think we just changed a lot of his 262 00:12:16,400 --> 00:12:19,560 Speaker 2: habits and mechanics, and I think he learned going through 263 00:12:19,559 --> 00:12:23,240 Speaker 2: that process. The first ten practices or so from that 264 00:12:23,440 --> 00:12:26,960 Speaker 2: first spring in twenty twenty three, it was a little sloppy, 265 00:12:26,960 --> 00:12:29,760 Speaker 2: and then finally when we got everything in sync, you know, 266 00:12:29,800 --> 00:12:32,319 Speaker 2: you're seeing some of the highlight plays and cam is 267 00:12:32,320 --> 00:12:33,079 Speaker 2: as good as it gets. 268 00:12:33,320 --> 00:12:35,320 Speaker 1: What was your guy's connection? I know you were hiring 269 00:12:35,360 --> 00:12:38,559 Speaker 1: the coach, but how do you from Washington State? I mean, 270 00:12:38,600 --> 00:12:40,400 Speaker 1: I fall football and done this for a living for 271 00:12:40,559 --> 00:12:44,600 Speaker 1: Incarnate Word. Like how because I remember talking to an 272 00:12:44,640 --> 00:12:46,640 Speaker 1: assistant GM and he was going to go to the 273 00:12:46,640 --> 00:12:49,520 Speaker 1: West Coast and because Camp had already played two years 274 00:12:49,520 --> 00:12:51,200 Speaker 1: that he would have been draft eligible. He's like, I'm 275 00:12:51,240 --> 00:12:53,720 Speaker 1: watching this kid from Incarnate Word. I've never even looked 276 00:12:53,720 --> 00:12:57,200 Speaker 1: at this program, and he's really really impressive. But it's 277 00:12:57,200 --> 00:12:59,520 Speaker 1: easy to say now, but looking back at the time, 278 00:12:59,800 --> 00:13:01,720 Speaker 1: how does he even come on your radar? And how 279 00:13:01,720 --> 00:13:04,280 Speaker 1: does that all materialize? Well? 280 00:13:04,360 --> 00:13:07,439 Speaker 2: I think just the whole recruiting process is obviously very unique. 281 00:13:07,440 --> 00:13:10,400 Speaker 2: I mean, coaches are tied to players, right, but we 282 00:13:10,440 --> 00:13:12,320 Speaker 2: also had to share our vision of what he could 283 00:13:12,360 --> 00:13:15,200 Speaker 2: do at Washington State, which when you look at their 284 00:13:15,320 --> 00:13:18,679 Speaker 2: hierarchy and their Mount Rushmore quarterbacks just coming off of 285 00:13:18,760 --> 00:13:21,960 Speaker 2: Minshew Mania, and she Letso and Ryan Leaf, and there's 286 00:13:22,000 --> 00:13:24,559 Speaker 2: been a great history of a bunch of quarterbacks. You know, 287 00:13:24,640 --> 00:13:27,160 Speaker 2: Luke Folk is the all time leading passer, you know, 288 00:13:27,200 --> 00:13:30,400 Speaker 2: so we sold a vision of also an offense that. 289 00:13:30,360 --> 00:13:32,520 Speaker 3: He could come in and continue and enhance. 290 00:13:33,000 --> 00:13:35,240 Speaker 2: And then my job as the head coach is, hey, 291 00:13:35,640 --> 00:13:38,440 Speaker 2: my job is to add value right from a defensive side, 292 00:13:38,440 --> 00:13:42,720 Speaker 2: a defensive lens, a high performance, you know, mental ability 293 00:13:42,720 --> 00:13:44,520 Speaker 2: that we needed to get him to to play at 294 00:13:44,520 --> 00:13:48,200 Speaker 2: that level. Everything was happening really fast, right, so I 295 00:13:48,240 --> 00:13:50,200 Speaker 2: think to get his family on board and to know 296 00:13:50,240 --> 00:13:52,400 Speaker 2: that they supported him. He was going to a region 297 00:13:52,400 --> 00:13:55,120 Speaker 2: of country, he had no idea about his first time 298 00:13:55,160 --> 00:13:57,719 Speaker 2: going away from home. So I thought he handled all 299 00:13:57,760 --> 00:14:01,000 Speaker 2: those little things that really high fashion. 300 00:14:01,600 --> 00:14:03,560 Speaker 1: What would your scattering report be on camp Ward? 301 00:14:04,440 --> 00:14:06,319 Speaker 2: I think the biggest thing, you know, we feel that 302 00:14:06,400 --> 00:14:07,800 Speaker 2: a lot of a lot of phone calls because I 303 00:14:07,800 --> 00:14:10,600 Speaker 2: think we've got a unique perspective just based on you know, 304 00:14:10,640 --> 00:14:12,680 Speaker 2: we weren't the ones that found him, We weren't the 305 00:14:12,679 --> 00:14:14,440 Speaker 2: ones that he ended with. Is just kind of that 306 00:14:14,520 --> 00:14:17,400 Speaker 2: in between session and you know, I come back, like 307 00:14:17,440 --> 00:14:20,440 Speaker 2: I said, the competitiveness, right, Like I said, I've seen 308 00:14:20,520 --> 00:14:23,680 Speaker 2: Josh I've seen John Mattier see some high level guys. 309 00:14:24,160 --> 00:14:28,560 Speaker 2: His anticipation in seam throws is unlike anything I've ever seen. 310 00:14:29,040 --> 00:14:31,200 Speaker 3: His confidence to throw it in any spots. 311 00:14:31,440 --> 00:14:35,160 Speaker 2: And his escapability, right, there's run ability in quarterbacks, there's 312 00:14:35,280 --> 00:14:38,840 Speaker 2: escapability and creativity. His is off the charts, okay. And 313 00:14:38,880 --> 00:14:42,080 Speaker 2: I think he's learned a lot about that that. You know, 314 00:14:42,160 --> 00:14:45,080 Speaker 2: protecting the ball, taking care of those little things is 315 00:14:45,120 --> 00:14:47,960 Speaker 2: what makes great quarterbacks who they are. But he's gonna 316 00:14:47,960 --> 00:14:51,240 Speaker 2: walk into a locker room and they're gonna respect him 317 00:14:51,280 --> 00:14:54,760 Speaker 2: because of the work, his competitive nature and what he 318 00:14:54,840 --> 00:14:56,640 Speaker 2: brings to the table. And I think you're gonna be 319 00:14:56,680 --> 00:14:58,280 Speaker 2: able to trust that man. And I think that's an 320 00:14:58,280 --> 00:15:01,640 Speaker 2: important characteristic. And I believe John's the number one pick 321 00:15:01,680 --> 00:15:02,200 Speaker 2: in the draft. 322 00:15:02,880 --> 00:15:05,120 Speaker 1: Yeah, I think by all accounts he's going to be. 323 00:15:05,200 --> 00:15:08,600 Speaker 1: So that's your quarterback room for those two years when 324 00:15:08,600 --> 00:15:11,320 Speaker 1: he was there. John Materi's now the starting quarterback at Oklahoma. 325 00:15:11,880 --> 00:15:16,080 Speaker 1: Who was your quarterback last year? You know cam Ward 326 00:15:16,160 --> 00:15:18,520 Speaker 1: part of it, you saw you landed him, and then 327 00:15:18,640 --> 00:15:20,840 Speaker 1: last year the situation when he kind of dabbled in 328 00:15:20,880 --> 00:15:24,080 Speaker 1: the draft and then it ended up traditioning transferring to Miami. 329 00:15:24,960 --> 00:15:27,360 Speaker 1: Was that a re recruitment process for you or is 330 00:15:27,360 --> 00:15:29,680 Speaker 1: that one of those financial situations in this modern day 331 00:15:29,680 --> 00:15:32,600 Speaker 1: college football that a little out of your control at 332 00:15:32,600 --> 00:15:33,280 Speaker 1: a certain point. 333 00:15:34,080 --> 00:15:36,040 Speaker 2: I mean, it was always the plan, even I'm being 334 00:15:36,040 --> 00:15:38,400 Speaker 2: honest with you, John, I've we talked to Cam him 335 00:15:38,440 --> 00:15:40,520 Speaker 2: and his family were incredible. I think when you're at 336 00:15:40,520 --> 00:15:43,560 Speaker 2: that level and you have a starting quarterback for two years, 337 00:15:44,360 --> 00:15:45,320 Speaker 2: that's what's going to happen. 338 00:15:45,600 --> 00:15:45,760 Speaker 4: Right. 339 00:15:45,840 --> 00:15:48,520 Speaker 2: And then obviously John, we felt extremely confident that we 340 00:15:48,680 --> 00:15:51,560 Speaker 2: had the next guy, you know. And then obviously as 341 00:15:51,600 --> 00:15:54,440 Speaker 2: things continue to matriculate, John's top ten and the Heisman, 342 00:15:55,080 --> 00:15:57,160 Speaker 2: you know. I think it's a unique story where you 343 00:15:57,320 --> 00:15:59,800 Speaker 2: just got to continue to plan and know that some 344 00:16:00,360 --> 00:16:01,440 Speaker 2: these things are gonna happen. 345 00:16:01,680 --> 00:16:01,840 Speaker 4: Right. 346 00:16:02,160 --> 00:16:04,600 Speaker 2: John Mitteer is a unique story where he was going 347 00:16:04,680 --> 00:16:07,680 Speaker 2: to go to Central Arkansas before we offered him. All right, 348 00:16:07,680 --> 00:16:10,920 Speaker 2: he took an official visit to New Mexico State, right. 349 00:16:10,920 --> 00:16:13,320 Speaker 2: But John is one of those guys is very first 350 00:16:13,360 --> 00:16:16,640 Speaker 2: fall camp. I'm going home at ten PM. I look 351 00:16:16,720 --> 00:16:19,680 Speaker 2: down on the field in the dark. There's John Mattier 352 00:16:19,760 --> 00:16:23,119 Speaker 2: rehearsing place for the next day. Okay, there are secrets 353 00:16:23,120 --> 00:16:27,440 Speaker 2: to success that ultra high performers leave behind in a trail, 354 00:16:27,800 --> 00:16:30,080 Speaker 2: And I thought that was mates John, who was completely 355 00:16:30,120 --> 00:16:33,040 Speaker 2: different player than Cam. That's why he's going to be 356 00:16:33,080 --> 00:16:37,240 Speaker 2: successful in his own way, right, the competitive nature, how 357 00:16:37,240 --> 00:16:39,040 Speaker 2: smart he is, how tough he is, how much he 358 00:16:39,080 --> 00:16:41,120 Speaker 2: can get one hundred and five guys to go, you know, 359 00:16:41,200 --> 00:16:43,800 Speaker 2: behind him and play for him. He is super special. 360 00:16:43,880 --> 00:16:45,960 Speaker 2: So and then we were about a week away. I 361 00:16:45,960 --> 00:16:48,120 Speaker 2: was telling you this off air from Land and Sam 362 00:16:48,200 --> 00:16:51,880 Speaker 2: Levitt right, which had no other offers besides Washington State 363 00:16:51,920 --> 00:16:53,840 Speaker 2: and was committed to us to a long period of 364 00:16:53,920 --> 00:16:56,800 Speaker 2: time before Michigan State came in a week before signing days. 365 00:16:56,800 --> 00:16:59,800 Speaker 2: So we've had a great run of finding those guys 366 00:16:59,800 --> 00:17:02,320 Speaker 2: that really you can go out in college football and 367 00:17:02,320 --> 00:17:03,760 Speaker 2: be really successful. 368 00:17:03,720 --> 00:17:06,480 Speaker 1: You know forever, if you're not at you know, Ohio 369 00:17:06,480 --> 00:17:07,679 Speaker 1: State or Texas or whatever. 370 00:17:07,760 --> 00:17:08,000 Speaker 4: I mean. 371 00:17:08,000 --> 00:17:10,960 Speaker 1: Even Nick Saban was losing coaches all the time. When 372 00:17:11,000 --> 00:17:12,960 Speaker 1: you hire a coach, I remember Mike Gundy used to 373 00:17:13,000 --> 00:17:15,159 Speaker 1: talk about this a lot. He was getting so frustrated 374 00:17:15,280 --> 00:17:17,919 Speaker 1: hiring bigger coaches, so he started going to smaller schools. 375 00:17:17,960 --> 00:17:20,240 Speaker 1: But then those guys, even after maybe one year, would 376 00:17:20,240 --> 00:17:22,760 Speaker 1: still get poached. Now you have to worry about not 377 00:17:22,800 --> 00:17:25,440 Speaker 1: just the offensive coordinator as a defensive guy, but also 378 00:17:25,520 --> 00:17:28,159 Speaker 1: the quarterback they're going as a package deal. I know 379 00:17:28,240 --> 00:17:30,960 Speaker 1: the Wake four situation kind of materialized. It's fair to 380 00:17:30,960 --> 00:17:33,720 Speaker 1: say a little later in the process. Is there a 381 00:17:33,760 --> 00:17:36,800 Speaker 1: time last season when you're like, how are we going 382 00:17:36,880 --> 00:17:40,720 Speaker 1: to keep this quarterback? Because you just know the landscape 383 00:17:40,760 --> 00:17:43,400 Speaker 1: of college football, which five six years ago, or even 384 00:17:43,440 --> 00:17:46,400 Speaker 1: when you first got involved at Wyoming, no one taught 385 00:17:46,440 --> 00:17:49,000 Speaker 1: it didn't even exist. It was. It almost feels like 386 00:17:49,720 --> 00:17:52,000 Speaker 1: like the nineteen fifties or something, doesn't it. I mean, 387 00:17:52,040 --> 00:17:53,760 Speaker 1: you've you've been living in it, but that feels like 388 00:17:53,800 --> 00:17:54,720 Speaker 1: a long time ago. 389 00:17:55,119 --> 00:17:55,520 Speaker 4: It does. 390 00:17:55,600 --> 00:17:57,919 Speaker 2: I think the biggest thing is as the season kept coming, 391 00:17:58,240 --> 00:18:00,639 Speaker 2: I've never done an amazing job as a program that 392 00:18:00,680 --> 00:18:02,760 Speaker 2: we put a seven figure deal in front of. 393 00:18:02,800 --> 00:18:05,640 Speaker 1: John r that's so I heard on the internet. 394 00:18:05,880 --> 00:18:08,520 Speaker 2: That's that's incredible, And there were so many people that 395 00:18:08,600 --> 00:18:10,840 Speaker 2: stepped up there. I'm so proud of like all that 396 00:18:10,920 --> 00:18:13,640 Speaker 2: helping those resources. But you gotta just, like anything else, 397 00:18:13,720 --> 00:18:16,720 Speaker 2: draw a line. And then I think through the kid, 398 00:18:16,800 --> 00:18:19,280 Speaker 2: through their family, through their agency, all the things that 399 00:18:19,320 --> 00:18:21,240 Speaker 2: they have to go through. A lot of pressure on 400 00:18:21,240 --> 00:18:23,720 Speaker 2: these kids. John, right, you start talking about those type 401 00:18:23,720 --> 00:18:27,679 Speaker 2: of numbers. His loyalty us in our organization was high 402 00:18:27,920 --> 00:18:31,040 Speaker 2: and I never doubted or questioned John one time. I 403 00:18:31,119 --> 00:18:34,680 Speaker 2: think we built a tremendous relationship. Uh we still have one. 404 00:18:34,840 --> 00:18:37,480 Speaker 2: I think those things are really really important, you know, 405 00:18:37,560 --> 00:18:40,000 Speaker 2: but you look at even our time at Washington State. 406 00:18:40,400 --> 00:18:41,800 Speaker 2: You know we didn't do so well at the end 407 00:18:41,840 --> 00:18:43,760 Speaker 2: of the season, and those are the things. As a 408 00:18:43,800 --> 00:18:47,240 Speaker 2: head coach, I learned that the focus needs to be high. 409 00:18:47,400 --> 00:18:49,439 Speaker 2: You know, these kids are taking in offers, you know, 410 00:18:49,480 --> 00:18:53,040 Speaker 2: they're getting recruited, Like, how do you navigate those things? 411 00:18:53,040 --> 00:18:55,240 Speaker 2: And I think that's a unique challenge that you know, 412 00:18:55,240 --> 00:18:56,359 Speaker 2: I got to find a better way as of a 413 00:18:56,359 --> 00:18:58,800 Speaker 2: head coach to make sure that I can keep everyone focused. 414 00:18:59,080 --> 00:19:02,320 Speaker 1: So going through that sperience with you know, multiple quarterbacks, really, 415 00:19:02,840 --> 00:19:05,280 Speaker 1: when you when you're interviewing at wake Forest, how big 416 00:19:05,280 --> 00:19:08,160 Speaker 1: of a topic is the NIL I know it potentially 417 00:19:08,200 --> 00:19:10,119 Speaker 1: is going to change who knows what the revenue sharing, 418 00:19:10,160 --> 00:19:12,480 Speaker 1: So it might be somewhat of a moot point, but 419 00:19:12,520 --> 00:19:16,200 Speaker 1: at least in the in the immediate was that top 420 00:19:16,200 --> 00:19:16,880 Speaker 1: of mind for you? 421 00:19:17,280 --> 00:19:18,399 Speaker 3: It's now the first question. 422 00:19:18,640 --> 00:19:20,040 Speaker 2: You know you go through I mean, I think we 423 00:19:20,080 --> 00:19:22,040 Speaker 2: had five of the top one hundred players or so 424 00:19:22,040 --> 00:19:24,000 Speaker 2: two hundred players on the portal where our kids at 425 00:19:24,000 --> 00:19:27,080 Speaker 2: Washington State. So when you find them, when you develop them, 426 00:19:27,440 --> 00:19:29,320 Speaker 2: you know, when they have no stars and then they 427 00:19:29,320 --> 00:19:31,399 Speaker 2: turn into these players, you got to have resources to 428 00:19:31,480 --> 00:19:34,040 Speaker 2: keep them because you have built the relationships that you 429 00:19:34,080 --> 00:19:37,640 Speaker 2: can stand on and you understand the family. So that's 430 00:19:37,680 --> 00:19:40,000 Speaker 2: the first question I asked at Wake Forest. Are we 431 00:19:40,200 --> 00:19:44,160 Speaker 2: ready to invest? And it was an overwhelming yes from 432 00:19:44,200 --> 00:19:50,000 Speaker 2: a university standpoint, border region's standpoint, trustees, boosters like everyone's 433 00:19:50,080 --> 00:19:53,240 Speaker 2: ready to be there. And you know, the collective nil 434 00:19:53,359 --> 00:19:56,200 Speaker 2: piece has been hard for a lot of programs, right, 435 00:19:56,280 --> 00:19:58,680 Speaker 2: And you know, I think that's why I'm here also too, 436 00:19:58,760 --> 00:20:02,720 Speaker 2: because there's a transactional piece that has come into our game. 437 00:20:03,000 --> 00:20:04,800 Speaker 2: You have to accept it. You have to know why 438 00:20:04,800 --> 00:20:07,280 Speaker 2: it's great for young people and their families. But you 439 00:20:07,400 --> 00:20:10,159 Speaker 2: have to stay transformational, right. You have to do it 440 00:20:10,200 --> 00:20:13,239 Speaker 2: an old school a relationship way to understand these are 441 00:20:13,280 --> 00:20:15,600 Speaker 2: eighteen to twenty three year old kids that need our 442 00:20:15,640 --> 00:20:17,880 Speaker 2: mentorship now more than ever. 443 00:20:18,440 --> 00:20:21,560 Speaker 3: And when you lose that, man, are our game is 444 00:20:21,600 --> 00:20:22,800 Speaker 3: gonna fall? With it right. 445 00:20:22,880 --> 00:20:25,680 Speaker 2: So we gotta find ways to make sure we preserve 446 00:20:26,080 --> 00:20:28,560 Speaker 2: the greatest game ever and find ways to make sure 447 00:20:28,560 --> 00:20:30,560 Speaker 2: we're mentorshipping with these kids the best way. 448 00:20:37,800 --> 00:20:41,080 Speaker 1: The NBA eighty two game grind is done, and now 449 00:20:41,080 --> 00:20:44,080 Speaker 1: the real fun begins.

Would they have stayed. I mean, you've been 486 00:22:39,480 --> 00:22:41,639 Speaker 1: in that world now once the Pac twelve kind of 487 00:22:41,640 --> 00:22:44,080 Speaker 1: dissolved in Washington State and Oregon State got the short 488 00:22:44,160 --> 00:22:45,639 Speaker 1: end of the stick, which is sad because you know 489 00:22:45,720 --> 00:22:48,960 Speaker 1: how much they care about football. Can those programs even 490 00:22:49,000 --> 00:22:52,280 Speaker 1: boise that? I think they were pretty outspoken that Ashton 491 00:22:52,320 --> 00:22:54,160 Speaker 1: gent to you. I definitely need to ask you about 492 00:22:54,600 --> 00:22:57,000 Speaker 1: Uh just turned down a lot of money to stay, 493 00:22:57,440 --> 00:22:59,480 Speaker 1: and I think it's fair to say that's an outlier 494 00:22:59,560 --> 00:23:02,720 Speaker 1: situation moving forward. But is that kind of going to 495 00:23:02,720 --> 00:23:05,640 Speaker 1: become the minor league system of college football? 496 00:23:06,680 --> 00:23:08,800 Speaker 2: I'd really think, John, we're in a dangerous place, right. 497 00:23:09,080 --> 00:23:12,119 Speaker 2: And I've been a big proponent of keeping the student 498 00:23:12,119 --> 00:23:15,040 Speaker 2: athlete model as long as we can, right. I think 499 00:23:15,080 --> 00:23:18,040 Speaker 2: that's important to our game. But I think now we've 500 00:23:18,040 --> 00:23:20,879 Speaker 2: gotten to the point where we might need collective bargaining, right, 501 00:23:20,920 --> 00:23:24,919 Speaker 2: We might need a certain situation where roster building is 502 00:23:24,960 --> 00:23:27,600 Speaker 2: the hardest thing you've ever had to do. Now at 503 00:23:27,640 --> 00:23:30,080 Speaker 2: this level, and especially at the group of five. You know, 504 00:23:30,080 --> 00:23:32,520 Speaker 2: I would love to see you know, once you sign 505 00:23:32,560 --> 00:23:34,760 Speaker 2: a kid out of high school, that's a three year 506 00:23:34,840 --> 00:23:38,040 Speaker 2: locked in contract. It's good for the player, it's good 507 00:23:38,119 --> 00:23:40,840 Speaker 2: for the university. It's just good for everyone to know. 508 00:23:40,960 --> 00:23:43,480 Speaker 2: Then now as a junior, senior, right, the fourth fifth 509 00:23:43,560 --> 00:23:46,720 Speaker 2: year guys, you can take advantage and move right, I'd 510 00:23:46,760 --> 00:23:49,240 Speaker 2: love to see you know, almost a rookie pay scale. 511 00:23:49,359 --> 00:23:49,520 Speaker 4: Right. 512 00:23:49,520 --> 00:23:53,640 Speaker 2: Those guys coming into your program are slotted at certain levels, right, 513 00:23:53,720 --> 00:23:57,280 Speaker 2: so you know at that level, you know, okay, these 514 00:23:57,320 --> 00:23:59,639 Speaker 2: are the guys that I'm locked into. These are the 515 00:23:59,680 --> 00:24:02,680 Speaker 2: guys that potentially could leave, and you can at least 516 00:24:02,680 --> 00:24:03,520 Speaker 2: build a roster. 517 00:24:03,920 --> 00:24:06,280 Speaker 4: Right, there was a point where you know, you don't know, 518 00:24:06,400 --> 00:24:07,560 Speaker 4: as any. 519 00:24:07,359 --> 00:24:09,280 Speaker 2: Team, I guess we could. At the same time, you 520 00:24:09,280 --> 00:24:11,840 Speaker 2: could lose every running back, every quarterback. 521 00:24:11,960 --> 00:24:14,399 Speaker 4: It just you can't plan. And that could be twice 522 00:24:14,400 --> 00:24:15,080 Speaker 4: a year now. 523 00:24:15,280 --> 00:24:18,400 Speaker 2: So whatever level you're talking about, you know, we need 524 00:24:18,400 --> 00:24:21,200 Speaker 2: to have a better fixture of like how to build teams. 525 00:24:21,720 --> 00:24:24,720 Speaker 2: I support the portal, I support you know, these guys 526 00:24:24,760 --> 00:24:27,920 Speaker 2: getting rev share like all that things supported. But from 527 00:24:28,040 --> 00:24:32,560 Speaker 2: a team building, roster building management, no matter what level 528 00:24:32,560 --> 00:24:34,760 Speaker 2: you're at, we got to get a better handle on 529 00:24:35,040 --> 00:24:37,280 Speaker 2: who's doing what we're and how so we can make 530 00:24:37,320 --> 00:24:38,800 Speaker 2: sure we're building teams the right way. 531 00:24:39,240 --> 00:24:42,400 Speaker 1: Do you have a philosophy on the pie of money 532 00:24:42,720 --> 00:24:46,480 Speaker 1: to go. This is what I think recruits are worth 533 00:24:46,600 --> 00:24:50,119 Speaker 1: freshman or worth relative to transfer guy like a cam 534 00:24:50,160 --> 00:24:53,119 Speaker 1: Ward in the portal And if so, did you develop 535 00:24:53,200 --> 00:24:55,120 Speaker 1: that by talking to people in the NFL to kind 536 00:24:55,160 --> 00:24:58,240 Speaker 1: of gauge how to kind of balance the economics of 537 00:24:58,280 --> 00:24:58,760 Speaker 1: this world? 538 00:24:59,160 --> 00:25:01,359 Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean we were the first at Washington stated 539 00:25:01,400 --> 00:25:03,240 Speaker 2: to go to a GM model. When I got hired 540 00:25:03,240 --> 00:25:04,400 Speaker 2: in twenty twenty two. 541 00:25:04,480 --> 00:25:06,560 Speaker 4: You could see where the game was going. 542 00:25:06,920 --> 00:25:10,400 Speaker 2: And our biggest philosophy is you have to pay for production, 543 00:25:10,560 --> 00:25:13,240 Speaker 2: not potential. Right, that just has to be part of 544 00:25:13,280 --> 00:25:18,560 Speaker 2: what we do. And still stay towards a developmental structure. Right, 545 00:25:18,680 --> 00:25:21,439 Speaker 2: find kids at low value, find the traits that you 546 00:25:21,480 --> 00:25:24,359 Speaker 2: can develop, put them in what I call the slow cooker. 547 00:25:24,560 --> 00:25:28,280 Speaker 2: Life is in a microwave society. Football players want it now. 548 00:25:28,600 --> 00:25:30,439 Speaker 2: We got to find the right men that want to 549 00:25:30,440 --> 00:25:33,439 Speaker 2: develop and then have the resources later in their career 550 00:25:33,520 --> 00:25:37,399 Speaker 2: to stay in. Yeah, every position is a certain you know, 551 00:25:37,840 --> 00:25:39,600 Speaker 2: we do it this way, right. You come in at 552 00:25:39,640 --> 00:25:43,200 Speaker 2: a lower level once you're a low volume backup. That's 553 00:25:43,240 --> 00:25:47,200 Speaker 2: a certain value, high value backup, certain level, low volume starter, 554 00:25:47,560 --> 00:25:51,240 Speaker 2: high volume starter and Obviously everyone has those exceptions, right 555 00:25:51,280 --> 00:25:52,960 Speaker 2: that you need to make sure you're going to the 556 00:25:53,000 --> 00:25:53,840 Speaker 2: top of the market. 557 00:25:54,160 --> 00:25:55,520 Speaker 4: So that's how we need to stay. 558 00:25:55,520 --> 00:25:58,720 Speaker 2: And you know, obviously the current situation of the quarterback 559 00:25:58,720 --> 00:26:01,879 Speaker 2: out there shows at time teams now need to know 560 00:26:01,920 --> 00:26:04,479 Speaker 2: when to step away. And I think that's the hardest 561 00:26:04,520 --> 00:26:06,840 Speaker 2: part because you're emotionally attached to these kids. You know 562 00:26:06,880 --> 00:26:09,639 Speaker 2: these kids, right, You've invested a lot in these kids. 563 00:26:09,680 --> 00:26:13,440 Speaker 2: So I think there's a balance. You know, We've asked 564 00:26:13,480 --> 00:26:15,600 Speaker 2: a lot of different programs. We've been around some other 565 00:26:15,720 --> 00:26:20,160 Speaker 2: NFL teams, but their models are different. Because free agency, 566 00:26:20,200 --> 00:26:22,959 Speaker 2: they know when kids are up, they know when they 567 00:26:23,000 --> 00:26:26,280 Speaker 2: can sign them. There isn't two periods that can happen, right, 568 00:26:26,359 --> 00:26:29,040 Speaker 2: So there's some things that you know, even they're like, 569 00:26:29,280 --> 00:26:30,880 Speaker 2: you know, that doesn't happen in our world. 570 00:26:31,280 --> 00:26:33,760 Speaker 1: When you got hired, the portal was open, correct, in 571 00:26:33,760 --> 00:26:34,600 Speaker 1: the middle of December. 572 00:26:34,880 --> 00:26:36,520 Speaker 4: Well, I think the biggest thing is we got in. 573 00:26:37,119 --> 00:26:39,640 Speaker 2: You know, I was hired December twentieth, right right around there, 574 00:26:39,760 --> 00:26:42,520 Speaker 2: so you know it's already been open for two weeks, right. 575 00:26:42,520 --> 00:26:44,000 Speaker 2: I like to say we came in at the end 576 00:26:44,040 --> 00:26:46,119 Speaker 2: of the draft, right, We're trying to find the best 577 00:26:46,200 --> 00:26:48,840 Speaker 2: value for us, you know at that time, and I 578 00:26:48,840 --> 00:26:51,399 Speaker 2: thought we did a really good job of that. Right now, 579 00:26:51,840 --> 00:26:54,600 Speaker 2: in this cycle, it's always a little bit different. 580 00:26:54,680 --> 00:26:54,879 Speaker 3: You know. 581 00:26:54,920 --> 00:26:56,400 Speaker 2: In Wake four is like we want to get out 582 00:26:56,400 --> 00:26:59,000 Speaker 2: of this. We're getting thirty kids a year out of 583 00:26:59,000 --> 00:27:01,359 Speaker 2: the portal, right is the handwere dealt. We got to 584 00:27:01,400 --> 00:27:02,640 Speaker 2: continue to enhance and run. 585 00:27:02,880 --> 00:27:04,440 Speaker 1: Is that what your number was this fall? 586 00:27:04,880 --> 00:27:05,120 Speaker 4: Yeah? 587 00:27:05,200 --> 00:27:07,760 Speaker 2: Yeah, twenty, you know, twenty about twenty and ten twenty 588 00:27:07,800 --> 00:27:08,200 Speaker 2: in the fall? 589 00:27:08,359 --> 00:27:10,840 Speaker 4: Ten now and you know that need that number. 590 00:27:10,640 --> 00:27:13,119 Speaker 2: Needs to be from five to ten, and you supplement 591 00:27:13,160 --> 00:27:15,760 Speaker 2: the positions on your team that you need to go. 592 00:27:16,760 --> 00:27:17,680 Speaker 4: You know, hans a little bit. 593 00:27:18,240 --> 00:27:20,480 Speaker 1: When you get hired and guys on your own team 594 00:27:20,600 --> 00:27:23,359 Speaker 1: or in the portal, it's obviously a whirlwind. How do 595 00:27:23,440 --> 00:27:25,680 Speaker 1: you know, It's like you look back, I would have 596 00:27:25,720 --> 00:27:27,160 Speaker 1: loved to keep that guy. I just had a lot 597 00:27:27,240 --> 00:27:30,240 Speaker 1: going on. I'm trying to hire coaches. Almost feels like 598 00:27:30,320 --> 00:27:33,520 Speaker 1: a predicament that's unsolvable at the time. 599 00:27:34,040 --> 00:27:36,240 Speaker 2: If the NCAA asked me, like what you learn from 600 00:27:36,280 --> 00:27:39,480 Speaker 2: the transition, I would love to have a ten day 601 00:27:39,600 --> 00:27:43,560 Speaker 2: period where your team cannot get in the portal, allow 602 00:27:43,600 --> 00:27:46,919 Speaker 2: a new coach to get there, to get established and 603 00:27:46,960 --> 00:27:49,320 Speaker 2: at least be able to meet the team. Okay, we 604 00:27:49,400 --> 00:27:52,760 Speaker 2: know in today's world, as soon as coach Classon resigned. 605 00:27:53,280 --> 00:27:55,840 Speaker 2: You know, every starter on our team was fielding calls 606 00:27:56,080 --> 00:28:00,040 Speaker 2: just during that uncertainty period. And that's tough, right, and 607 00:28:00,240 --> 00:28:02,159 Speaker 2: just the way it is. I meanyone can complain about it. 608 00:28:02,200 --> 00:28:04,840 Speaker 2: I think that's the way college football is structured now. 609 00:28:04,960 --> 00:28:08,080 Speaker 2: So I would love a ten day period where just 610 00:28:08,160 --> 00:28:12,040 Speaker 2: allow for a conversation to happen, right, And you know, 611 00:28:12,080 --> 00:28:14,600 Speaker 2: there's nothing more important than trying to retain a roster 612 00:28:14,720 --> 00:28:15,880 Speaker 2: so you can build off it. 613 00:28:15,920 --> 00:28:18,040 Speaker 4: And you know it comes with unique challenges. 614 00:28:18,119 --> 00:28:20,680 Speaker 2: Especially by the time I got hired, every kid was 615 00:28:20,720 --> 00:28:22,720 Speaker 2: at home, right, so we had to do that over 616 00:28:22,880 --> 00:28:25,200 Speaker 2: zoom and FaceTime, and you know this, you just can't 617 00:28:25,200 --> 00:28:27,440 Speaker 2: feel the energy of a new staff that way. 618 00:28:28,320 --> 00:28:30,159 Speaker 1: Okay. I do want to talk about some of the 619 00:28:30,160 --> 00:28:32,320 Speaker 1: guys that you've coached against, especially a lot of them 620 00:28:32,359 --> 00:28:35,400 Speaker 1: are on offense and you're a defensive guy. I don't 621 00:28:35,400 --> 00:28:37,879 Speaker 1: want to bring him a bad memory, but Ashon Jenty, 622 00:28:38,240 --> 00:28:41,320 Speaker 1: that's a bad memory right there. Just just talk to 623 00:28:41,360 --> 00:28:44,080 Speaker 1: me because he's he's a hot topic. I mean, he 624 00:28:44,240 --> 00:28:46,280 Speaker 1: looks from Boise State has a chance to go in 625 00:28:46,320 --> 00:28:48,880 Speaker 1: the top six or seven picks. He had a huge 626 00:28:48,920 --> 00:28:51,280 Speaker 1: day against you guys, and you're a good defense. But 627 00:28:51,360 --> 00:28:53,480 Speaker 1: I mean, in fairness, he did that against everybody. He 628 00:28:53,520 --> 00:28:55,280 Speaker 1: did that against Oregon. He was the number one team 629 00:28:55,280 --> 00:28:58,280 Speaker 1: in the country. From a game planning perspective, what did 630 00:28:58,280 --> 00:29:00,280 Speaker 1: you see against him? And then what in the game 631 00:29:00,320 --> 00:29:01,400 Speaker 1: were you're blown away by? 632 00:29:02,800 --> 00:29:06,080 Speaker 2: We really underestimated his speed, Okay, And I go back 633 00:29:06,080 --> 00:29:08,000 Speaker 2: to the Oregon tape and you're watching him run away 634 00:29:08,000 --> 00:29:10,480 Speaker 2: from those guys, you know, and you're just kind of 635 00:29:10,520 --> 00:29:11,040 Speaker 2: watching it. 636 00:29:11,080 --> 00:29:13,840 Speaker 4: And his contact balance is elite guy. 637 00:29:13,960 --> 00:29:16,320 Speaker 2: He is about feels like five to eight, but he 638 00:29:16,520 --> 00:29:19,959 Speaker 2: is a bowling ball of athleticism and power and speed. 639 00:29:20,400 --> 00:29:22,800 Speaker 2: So he broke more tackles on us, I think than 640 00:29:23,200 --> 00:29:26,400 Speaker 2: he did on anybody else, you know, statistically speaking, And 641 00:29:26,920 --> 00:29:29,280 Speaker 2: it was his contact balance, the way he finished his 642 00:29:29,320 --> 00:29:31,440 Speaker 2: and when he's out in the opening space, you're not 643 00:29:31,520 --> 00:29:34,920 Speaker 2: catching him, right. So it was a unique challenge of 644 00:29:34,920 --> 00:29:37,000 Speaker 2: trying to find ways and we were in that game 645 00:29:37,360 --> 00:29:40,640 Speaker 2: and he broke two big fourth quarter you know, touchdown 646 00:29:40,720 --> 00:29:43,840 Speaker 2: runs that just put us away. And it's a unique talent, 647 00:29:44,400 --> 00:29:47,240 Speaker 2: but once again a guy that trusted the process the 648 00:29:47,320 --> 00:29:50,360 Speaker 2: year before. I mean, you're talking about a backup tailback, right, 649 00:29:50,560 --> 00:29:52,760 Speaker 2: and for him to burst on the scene. They always 650 00:29:52,800 --> 00:29:55,080 Speaker 2: knew they had that type of talented player, and to 651 00:29:55,160 --> 00:29:56,640 Speaker 2: kind of see it all the way through, I think 652 00:29:56,640 --> 00:29:57,880 Speaker 2: it is good for college football. 653 00:29:58,320 --> 00:30:02,800 Speaker 1: I mean, Michael Pani's bow, Nick Travis Hunter Shador is 654 00:30:02,920 --> 00:30:04,720 Speaker 1: safe to say he was the best player in your 655 00:30:04,800 --> 00:30:07,200 Speaker 1: three plus years there at Washington State that you went against. 656 00:30:07,520 --> 00:30:10,200 Speaker 4: We went against Caleb Williams. I'm trying to think of 657 00:30:10,240 --> 00:30:11,120 Speaker 4: all the other players. 658 00:30:11,200 --> 00:30:12,960 Speaker 1: It was a quarterback bill at Arizona. 659 00:30:12,960 --> 00:30:15,760 Speaker 2: I'm sure, yeah, I mean I would put Caleb Williams 660 00:30:15,840 --> 00:30:17,920 Speaker 2: up there, just I mean, and we held him under 661 00:30:17,960 --> 00:30:20,080 Speaker 2: three hundred yards passing, and I don't know if anyone 662 00:30:20,120 --> 00:30:23,280 Speaker 2: did that that year. He was just an incredible talent 663 00:30:23,560 --> 00:30:27,160 Speaker 2: to do it. Genti's right up there, you know, Pennix. 664 00:30:27,520 --> 00:30:30,560 Speaker 2: You know, I still think the offensive line at Washington 665 00:30:30,600 --> 00:30:33,160 Speaker 2: that year was just phenomenal. You know, all those players. 666 00:30:33,200 --> 00:30:36,120 Speaker 2: So he's right up there, and he deserves everything that's 667 00:30:36,160 --> 00:30:38,720 Speaker 2: coming his way. And you know, obviously, you know, I know, 668 00:30:39,320 --> 00:30:41,480 Speaker 2: you know, coach Danielson over there a little bit just 669 00:30:41,560 --> 00:30:43,520 Speaker 2: speaks to his character, and I think all those things 670 00:30:43,600 --> 00:30:45,880 Speaker 2: put together, you know, he's he's right up there as 671 00:30:45,920 --> 00:30:47,640 Speaker 2: far as the toughest people we've had to defend. 672 00:30:48,040 --> 00:30:50,360 Speaker 1: Someone asked me about a comp with cam Ward. Do 673 00:30:50,600 --> 00:30:52,520 Speaker 1: you think there are some similarities in the way they 674 00:30:52,520 --> 00:30:55,560 Speaker 1: play with Caleb little different body types, but. 675 00:30:56,240 --> 00:30:58,800 Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, And I think that's the one thing Cam 676 00:30:59,000 --> 00:31:01,200 Speaker 2: you know, you know, we do these scouting deals and 677 00:31:01,520 --> 00:31:04,640 Speaker 2: everyone after the twenty two seasons like, hey, we got 678 00:31:04,640 --> 00:31:06,240 Speaker 2: to get his body in order, and he did that. 679 00:31:06,840 --> 00:31:10,800 Speaker 2: I think the escapability to wear off script. You know, 680 00:31:10,880 --> 00:31:14,000 Speaker 2: defensive coordinators can come in with all these fancy plans, right, 681 00:31:14,080 --> 00:31:15,479 Speaker 2: this is how we're gonna run this coverage. 682 00:31:15,480 --> 00:31:16,640 Speaker 4: This covers this coverage. 683 00:31:16,800 --> 00:31:19,800 Speaker 2: But when those guys break down and they playoff script, 684 00:31:20,080 --> 00:31:22,200 Speaker 2: there's no defense for that. And I think that's what 685 00:31:22,360 --> 00:31:25,720 Speaker 2: makes the quarterbacking special. It's the number one thing when 686 00:31:25,760 --> 00:31:28,840 Speaker 2: we start to dive into taking a quarterback, you know, 687 00:31:28,880 --> 00:31:30,520 Speaker 2: we make an off script tape. 688 00:31:30,880 --> 00:31:32,200 Speaker 4: That's what makes you elite. 689 00:31:32,600 --> 00:31:35,080 Speaker 2: And I think that's why Cam and the Caleb Williams, 690 00:31:35,080 --> 00:31:37,400 Speaker 2: you know, Pennix was a little more pocket pass or 691 00:31:37,480 --> 00:31:40,920 Speaker 2: NFL ready that way, but that what makes the special player. 692 00:31:41,040 --> 00:31:43,280 Speaker 2: Like I grew up on Brett farv Right, you're gonna 693 00:31:43,280 --> 00:31:45,240 Speaker 2: take a lot of the good with the bad sometimes, 694 00:31:45,440 --> 00:31:48,280 Speaker 2: and Cam's that way a little bit because he's the 695 00:31:48,360 --> 00:31:50,520 Speaker 2: ultimate gun slinger, like he's gonna throw it into some 696 00:31:50,560 --> 00:31:51,360 Speaker 2: tight spaces. 697 00:31:51,400 --> 00:31:52,760 Speaker 4: But you need that. 698 00:31:53,160 --> 00:31:55,920 Speaker 2: You can as a head coach saying oh, this was terrible, 699 00:31:55,920 --> 00:31:59,080 Speaker 2: and then celebrate him. You know, fourth and sixth against 700 00:31:59,080 --> 00:32:03,200 Speaker 2: Oregon in a whirling left handed pass. It goes with it, 701 00:32:03,240 --> 00:32:05,640 Speaker 2: and I think there's a style that he plays that 702 00:32:05,640 --> 00:32:06,680 Speaker 2: I think is really unique. 703 00:32:07,280 --> 00:32:09,080 Speaker 1: Me and Coward were talking about this the other day. 704 00:32:09,160 --> 00:32:11,320 Speaker 1: You know, you and I are similar ages. Forever. It 705 00:32:11,440 --> 00:32:15,480 Speaker 1: was the Carson Palmers, the Manning Brothers, the Bradys. You've 706 00:32:15,520 --> 00:32:19,400 Speaker 1: been now deep in evaluating high school football. If you 707 00:32:19,440 --> 00:32:21,920 Speaker 1: look at the last three or four years, even Pennix 708 00:32:21,960 --> 00:32:23,840 Speaker 1: was viewed as a pocket quarterback and then he ran 709 00:32:23,920 --> 00:32:26,720 Speaker 1: like four or five two. Same thing with CJ. Stroud. 710 00:32:26,960 --> 00:32:30,320 Speaker 1: It's like the the the guy that's six' six that can't. 711 00:32:30,360 --> 00:32:32,280 Speaker 1: Move does that guy exist in high school football? 712 00:32:32,320 --> 00:32:35,760 Speaker 2: Anymore he, Exists he's out, there but not a lot 713 00:32:35,800 --> 00:32:38,560 Speaker 2: of people are designing offense for that guy because it's hard. 714 00:32:38,760 --> 00:32:40,160 Speaker 1: Right and would you recruit that? 715 00:32:40,240 --> 00:32:42,480 Speaker 4: Guy we would. NOT i mean you have to be able. 716 00:32:42,600 --> 00:32:44,920 Speaker 2: To we're a big Fan john of not having the 717 00:32:45,040 --> 00:32:46,240 Speaker 2: same skill sets in the. 718 00:32:46,320 --> 00:32:47,560 Speaker 4: Room, right we got to. 719 00:32:47,960 --> 00:32:50,120 Speaker 2: You, know we signed a kid out Of Steel pizzella 720 00:32:50,200 --> 00:32:52,520 Speaker 2: that's five ten and a half ran ten four in high. 721 00:32:52,560 --> 00:32:52,840 Speaker 4: School. 722 00:32:52,920 --> 00:32:56,160 Speaker 2: Right we GOT Dsn purdy that's six' five two and twenty. 723 00:32:56,200 --> 00:32:57,000 Speaker 2: Five pounds he got a. 724 00:32:57,080 --> 00:32:58,240 Speaker 4: Rocket, Arm, right well why? 725 00:32:58,280 --> 00:33:00,920 Speaker 1: Is that don't you want a similar? Skill? Set, historically like. 726 00:33:01,200 --> 00:33:03,800 Speaker 2: You know what we, really, don't RIGHT because i think 727 00:33:03,840 --> 00:33:07,360 Speaker 2: the best coaches designed the offense to what, they, Have 728 00:33:08,120 --> 00:33:11,600 Speaker 2: right and the one trade that will always be in 729 00:33:11,640 --> 00:33:15,400 Speaker 2: there is athleticism to threaten, To, Run right that's the, 730 00:33:15,440 --> 00:33:18,680 Speaker 2: one trade, not size but it's the athleticism to be 731 00:33:18,760 --> 00:33:21,760 Speaker 2: a dual threat and flatten out. The DEFENSE and i 732 00:33:21,800 --> 00:33:23,960 Speaker 2: think that's the important pieces of what. They bring like 733 00:33:24,000 --> 00:33:25,160 Speaker 2: even can we run cam a? 734 00:33:25,160 --> 00:33:25,400 Speaker 3: Little? 735 00:33:25,400 --> 00:33:28,080 Speaker 2: Bit Right But john mattier opened up a whole different 736 00:33:28,200 --> 00:33:31,320 Speaker 2: level of. The offense so you got to be crafty 737 00:33:31,360 --> 00:33:34,240 Speaker 2: and creative enough to make sure you're designing it about you, 738 00:33:34,240 --> 00:33:36,520 Speaker 2: know whatever the best you know elite trade is of. 739 00:33:36,560 --> 00:33:41,080 Speaker 1: Your QUARTERBACK what i know you Guys played colorado toward 740 00:33:41,120 --> 00:33:43,280 Speaker 1: the end of the season two years ago when the team. Was, 741 00:33:43,280 --> 00:33:46,400 Speaker 1: struggling Uh was travis healthy in? That game was he? 742 00:33:46,720 --> 00:33:48,000 Speaker 4: Was back He Was. 743 00:33:48,040 --> 00:33:50,840 Speaker 2: Shador sanders, you know he played for about a quarter 744 00:33:50,880 --> 00:33:52,400 Speaker 2: and a half and then he wasn't. 745 00:33:52,440 --> 00:33:55,120 Speaker 4: Out There And travis hunter is a unique. 746 00:33:55,120 --> 00:33:58,160 Speaker 2: Skill set now he, caught ah he mossed a couple 747 00:33:58,160 --> 00:34:00,000 Speaker 2: of our guys, you know back in the end zone 748 00:34:00,000 --> 00:34:03,320 Speaker 2: and scored a couple. Of touchdowns he's, unique player obviously a, 749 00:34:03,400 --> 00:34:06,080 Speaker 2: unique Competitor and i'm just excited to see him do 750 00:34:06,120 --> 00:34:09,040 Speaker 2: it at the. NEXT level i think there's something that's obviously, 751 00:34:09,160 --> 00:34:11,560 Speaker 2: very intriguing and, you know the best is still in front. 752 00:34:11,560 --> 00:34:13,560 Speaker 1: Of him did you think what could be what he 753 00:34:13,560 --> 00:34:15,840 Speaker 1: did this year could be done playing all those snaps? 754 00:34:15,880 --> 00:34:16,760 Speaker 1: Both ways when. 755 00:34:16,600 --> 00:34:19,320 Speaker 2: It, FIRST started i, was like this, can't, continue right, 756 00:34:19,360 --> 00:34:21,440 Speaker 2: you know and to do it at an. Elite level 757 00:34:22,200 --> 00:34:24,439 Speaker 2: but to be able to focus, AND develop i think. 758 00:34:24,520 --> 00:34:26,040 Speaker 2: IS hard, i think in, my mind how do you 759 00:34:26,040 --> 00:34:28,520 Speaker 2: even practice? This right so to be able to, DO 760 00:34:28,560 --> 00:34:30,839 Speaker 2: that i think it's so UNIQUE and i think it's 761 00:34:30,880 --> 00:34:33,879 Speaker 2: so good for college football now because, of, That though 762 00:34:33,920 --> 00:34:36,279 Speaker 2: i've been asked the question about playing both ways. More, 763 00:34:36,400 --> 00:34:39,640 Speaker 2: times yeah it doesn't happen. Like that is a once 764 00:34:39,680 --> 00:34:42,319 Speaker 2: in a generational type talent that can do those type. 765 00:34:42,320 --> 00:34:45,200 Speaker 2: Of Things so i'm just excited to see if he 766 00:34:45,200 --> 00:34:46,080 Speaker 2: can continue that at the. 767 00:34:46,120 --> 00:34:48,359 Speaker 1: Next level how often over the last, couple years when 768 00:34:48,360 --> 00:34:50,480 Speaker 1: some of these top quarterbacks are, coming out, you know 769 00:34:50,560 --> 00:34:53,759 Speaker 1: you're you're a defensive GUY to.

To victory it. JUST didn't i. 783 00:35:23,640 --> 00:35:26,239 Speaker 1: Was watching there's a lot of people that ask. 784 00:35:26,320 --> 00:35:28,640 Speaker 2: ABOUT it i thought it was a unique time even in, 785 00:35:28,680 --> 00:35:31,200 Speaker 2: that league right that last Year the pac twelve to 786 00:35:31,280 --> 00:35:34,719 Speaker 2: have all that type of. Talented, quarterbacks yeah they, do that, 787 00:35:34,800 --> 00:35:36,439 Speaker 2: you know they, kind, of hey how how do you see? 788 00:35:36,480 --> 00:35:38,160 Speaker 4: This guy what's What's bo nix's? 789 00:35:38,239 --> 00:35:40,799 Speaker 2: Greatest strength and the best, part is like, you said 790 00:35:40,800 --> 00:35:43,520 Speaker 2: they're all different, skill sets they're, all unique, You KNOW 791 00:35:43,520 --> 00:35:45,800 Speaker 2: but i think quarterbacking is something where you got to 792 00:35:45,840 --> 00:35:47,919 Speaker 2: sit down the guy in the room and you got 793 00:35:47,920 --> 00:35:49,879 Speaker 2: to be able, to understand like what makes that guy, 794 00:35:49,960 --> 00:35:52,359 Speaker 2: tick right and you got to be able to coach 795 00:35:52,440 --> 00:35:55,400 Speaker 2: him to their strengths and. Their abilities so trying to 796 00:35:55,440 --> 00:35:58,040 Speaker 2: take away their their best thing that they do is 797 00:35:58,040 --> 00:36:01,440 Speaker 2: always something that we. Focused on try to make. Him Uncomfortable, 798 00:36:01,840 --> 00:36:04,080 Speaker 2: like panix we knew if we could actually move, his 799 00:36:04,200 --> 00:36:08,440 Speaker 2: feet the, analytics said his completion percentage drops from like 800 00:36:08,520 --> 00:36:10,879 Speaker 2: he was seventy eight percent down to like. Fifty two 801 00:36:11,400 --> 00:36:14,080 Speaker 2: so the whole game plan was about getting pressure in. 802 00:36:14,120 --> 00:36:16,399 Speaker 2: His face and we went out THERE and i thought 803 00:36:16,440 --> 00:36:19,520 Speaker 2: executed one. Place short Credit to kalon, the bowler he 804 00:36:19,560 --> 00:36:21,040 Speaker 2: went for it on fourth and one on his own 805 00:36:21,080 --> 00:36:22,200 Speaker 2: twenty seven yard line with. 806 00:36:22,239 --> 00:36:24,719 Speaker 4: The reverse so it was a it was a hell of. 807 00:36:24,760 --> 00:36:27,359 Speaker 1: A game, you, say analytics is it safe to say 808 00:36:27,360 --> 00:36:30,120 Speaker 1: you're pretty heavy into. The numbers in terms of, game planning. 809 00:36:30,400 --> 00:36:31,000 Speaker 4: It's huge. 810 00:36:31,080 --> 00:36:32,680 Speaker 2: YOU know i think it's one of those things like 811 00:36:32,719 --> 00:36:35,560 Speaker 2: you can create an edge for your program by how 812 00:36:35,600 --> 00:36:39,759 Speaker 2: you use and analyze. Those, things okay so even at way, 813 00:36:39,800 --> 00:36:42,800 Speaker 2: for us we're, talking about, you know a, sports analytical student, 814 00:36:42,880 --> 00:36:47,200 Speaker 2: driven team, you know that can take this unprecedent amount 815 00:36:47,200 --> 00:36:50,000 Speaker 2: of information that we, now, have right you can look 816 00:36:50,080 --> 00:36:53,840 Speaker 2: up any split any, you know because like, take example 817 00:36:53,880 --> 00:36:56,640 Speaker 2: like completion percentage seems like a real thing we all.

It, Away right so when you Look At, 822 00:37:07,880 --> 00:37:11,239 Speaker 2: josh allen he was fifty six percent completion percentage his. 823 00:37:11,280 --> 00:37:14,120 Speaker 2: Senior year that's all anyone wanted to.

OF money i think it's fair, to 1004 00:45:51,680 --> 00:45:55,200 Speaker 1: guess take an. Educated guess and from a, football, standpoint 1005 00:45:55,560 --> 00:45:57,920 Speaker 1: now they won four of their last like, six games 1006 00:45:58,600 --> 00:46:01,040 Speaker 1: they wouldn't fin they didn't Make. A bowl tennessee was 1007 00:46:01,040 --> 00:46:03,760 Speaker 1: in the Playoffs Playing, ohio STATE and i would imagine 1008 00:46:03,760 --> 00:46:06,440 Speaker 1: they were a preseason top. Twelve, TEAM now i Did 1009 00:46:06,520 --> 00:46:09,879 Speaker 1: See urban meyer come out and Say that tennessee's gonna, 1010 00:46:09,920 --> 00:46:13,520 Speaker 1: be screwed like who's gonna, play QUARTERBACK which i think 1011 00:46:13,640 --> 00:46:16,480 Speaker 1: is they could have a big downgrade. At quarterback. Very 1012 00:46:16,520 --> 00:46:19,920 Speaker 1: TRUE so i. DON'T know i think this situation is. 1013 00:46:19,960 --> 00:46:24,759 Speaker 1: Just MESSY but i Think from, NICO'S standpoint i hope 1014 00:46:24,760 --> 00:46:27,640 Speaker 1: it was his decision and not as quote unquote handlers 1015 00:46:27,760 --> 00:46:30,960 Speaker 1: or his dad, or whatever because they're not the. Ones 1016 00:46:31,080 --> 00:46:35,600 Speaker 1: playing it's like, when people, YOU know i see this 1017 00:46:35,680 --> 00:46:37,839 Speaker 1: a lot, in relationships and a lot of you guys 1018 00:46:37,920 --> 00:46:40,600 Speaker 1: that are my age or older that have seen people go, 1019 00:46:40,640 --> 00:46:44,120 Speaker 1: through divorces that have seen people just had. Messy breakups, 1020 00:46:44,160 --> 00:46:46,000 Speaker 1: you know if you're listening to this in, your twenties 1021 00:46:47,040 --> 00:46:48,759 Speaker 1: as you, live life you're gonna see a lot. Of 1022 00:46:48,800 --> 00:46:54,000 Speaker 1: things but, no ONE and i mean no one can understand. 1023 00:46:54,400 --> 00:46:57,400 Speaker 1: Your relationship they're not sleeping with, the person they're not 1024 00:46:57,600 --> 00:47:01,359 Speaker 1: spending or living with. The person so it's like it's 1025 00:47:01,520 --> 00:47:04,399 Speaker 1: their life, to lead, you know whether, it's parents whether, 1026 00:47:04,440 --> 00:47:08,280 Speaker 1: it's brothers whether, it's friends everyone can give their opinions 1027 00:47:08,280 --> 00:47:12,000 Speaker 1: and takes on, your relationship whether you should get, a 1028 00:47:12,040 --> 00:47:14,319 Speaker 1: divorce whether you should, get married whether you should, break 1029 00:47:14,400 --> 00:47:17,800 Speaker 1: up whatever.

Riding shotgun 1031 00:47:21,239 --> 00:47:24,960 Speaker 1: everyone else is just a bystanderd and It's like nico's family. 1032 00:47:25,080 --> 00:47:27,560 Speaker 1: Or whoever, IT'S like i hope this was the, kid's 1033 00:47:27,600 --> 00:47:31,440 Speaker 1: decision which is a very very difficult spot to be 1034 00:47:31,520 --> 00:47:36,000 Speaker 1: in at nineteen twenty eighteen. YEARS old i even saw a. 1035 00:47:36,040 --> 00:47:38,680 Speaker 1: HEADLINE today i didn't click on, the ARTICLE but i think. 1036 00:47:38,680 --> 00:47:41,600 Speaker 1: It's fair like what THE headline, I saw i Would 1037 00:47:41,640 --> 00:47:44,080 Speaker 1: imagine cam was given pretty. Good Advice cam newton, was 1038 00:47:44,120 --> 00:47:47,360 Speaker 1: like you got to be very careful about getting advice 1039 00:47:47,640 --> 00:47:51,040 Speaker 1: because a lot of it can. Get bad and it's 1040 00:47:51,080 --> 00:47:53,080 Speaker 1: why you want to be in business if you're going 1041 00:47:53,160 --> 00:47:56,120 Speaker 1: to get an agent or people negotiating your deal with 1042 00:47:56,200 --> 00:47:59,680 Speaker 1: people that know what, they're doing and as a prospect 1043 00:47:59,719 --> 00:48:04,440 Speaker 1: and a revenue general raider like, he is, you Know, 1044 00:48:04,520 --> 00:48:08,240 Speaker 1: the Rosenhaus, the CIAS the i Don't Think tom condon 1045 00:48:08,400 --> 00:48:11,640 Speaker 1: is active As Much, ryan williams that does a lot 1046 00:48:11,680 --> 00:48:15,640 Speaker 1: of Dudes. LIKE mulgeta i mean there would be a 1047 00:48:15,680 --> 00:48:18,200 Speaker 1: lot of people that just know what the fuck. THEY'RE 1048 00:48:18,239 --> 00:48:22,720 Speaker 1: doing i would want to, Be IN but i also 1049 00:48:22,800 --> 00:48:24,799 Speaker 1: then defend, the, kid like how would he? Know that 1050 00:48:25,280 --> 00:48:30,719 Speaker 1: it's just, just messy it. Really is giving your background 1051 00:48:30,800 --> 00:48:34,319 Speaker 1: as a scout For, the eagles could you shed some standout, 1052 00:48:34,800 --> 00:48:39,200 Speaker 1: you recruited scouted you blew. Your, Way additionally i'd love 1053 00:48:39,239 --> 00:48:41,840 Speaker 1: to know the key prospects you were directly. Involved scouting, 1054 00:48:43,360 --> 00:48:45,839 Speaker 1: YOU know i think you know a lot of gms and. 1055 00:48:46,120 --> 00:48:50,640 Speaker 1: Personnel directors there's not any guy that's got to, get 1056 00:48:50,719 --> 00:48:55,680 Speaker 1: drafted especially a GUY with i would say fifth. Sixth round, 1057 00:48:55,800 --> 00:48:57,960 Speaker 1: you know once you get into, Seventh undrafted like IS 1058 00:48:58,000 --> 00:49:00,480 Speaker 1: the gm watching? Those guys but any guy the top 1059 00:49:01,000 --> 00:49:03,399 Speaker 1: one hundred and fifty two hundred prospects on your, draft 1060 00:49:03,440 --> 00:49:06,839 Speaker 1: board not only if you do the AREA like i 1061 00:49:06,880 --> 00:49:09,800 Speaker 1: only did college, ONE year i Did The. West coast 1062 00:49:10,120 --> 00:49:11,839 Speaker 1: BUT if i had a player that had a third 1063 00:49:11,920 --> 00:49:15,319 Speaker 1: round grade, ON them i bet five other people, watched THEM, 1064 00:49:15,640 --> 00:49:22,080 Speaker 1: the gm THE assistant gm scout that crosschecks watching, that 1065 00:49:22,160 --> 00:49:26,719 Speaker 1: position and the. College director so by the time you've 1066 00:49:26,760 --> 00:49:32,399 Speaker 1: watched a player and all these rooms are talking about their. 1067 00:49:32,480 --> 00:49:36,239 Speaker 1: Draft board, right now most players now that there is 1068 00:49:36,840 --> 00:49:38,759 Speaker 1: longer you do, an area the more you have a 1069 00:49:38,800 --> 00:49:43,120 Speaker 1: feel for guys and, your sources and maybe you argue 1070 00:49:43,160 --> 00:49:45,680 Speaker 1: if the entire room, hates them but for the, most 1071 00:49:45,680 --> 00:49:47,640 Speaker 1: part you're gonna have some people on the. Guy side 1072 00:49:47,760 --> 00:49:50,400 Speaker 1: let's just say a polarizing player and, you know Non Like, 1073 00:49:50,480 --> 00:49:53,400 Speaker 1: travis hunter and some people are arguing, against them and 1074 00:49:53,440 --> 00:49:57,080 Speaker 1: then you just kind of talk. It OUT but i 1075 00:49:57,080 --> 00:50:00,759 Speaker 1: think this notion that is like one, guy's idea it's 1076 00:50:00,800 --> 00:50:03,800 Speaker 1: just not really how it works because so many people 1077 00:50:04,520 --> 00:50:07,960 Speaker 1: one typically especially, bigger schools LIKE if i Run the 1078 00:50:07,960 --> 00:50:11,560 Speaker 1: eagles and We have Alabama Or ohio state or whoever 1079 00:50:11,600 --> 00:50:15,399 Speaker 1: has a lot Of prospects michigan, Last year you're gonna 1080 00:50:15,440 --> 00:50:19,719 Speaker 1: have multiple human beings go through the program during, the 1081 00:50:19,760 --> 00:50:24,319 Speaker 1: fall so you have multiple sets of eyes that wright 1082 00:50:24,560 --> 00:50:29,280 Speaker 1: the group up and then on top of your decision 1083 00:50:29,320 --> 00:50:31,680 Speaker 1: makers all watching the guy and any factor in the. 1084 00:50:31,680 --> 00:50:36,080 Speaker 1: Coaching STAFF so i think this notion of like diamonds 1085 00:50:36,080 --> 00:50:38,440 Speaker 1: in the rough that died when this little thing Called the, 1086 00:50:38,440 --> 00:50:41,400 Speaker 1: Internet started like the diamond in the rough does not 1087 00:50:41,520 --> 00:50:47,680 Speaker 1: exist because everyone knows who. Everybody is and now there 1088 00:50:47,760 --> 00:50:50,160 Speaker 1: might be people in a draft room that don't agree with, the, 1089 00:50:50,200 --> 00:50:52,719 Speaker 1: PLAYER right i think this guy's better than. You do 1090 00:50:52,920 --> 00:50:57,640 Speaker 1: but that probably happens all. THE time i was more 1091 00:50:57,680 --> 00:51:02,680 Speaker 1: active in terms of Fighting For. Andrews anddejo that's my claim. 1092 00:51:02,719 --> 00:51:04,920 Speaker 1: TO fame I knew Andrews and dejo. Could play he 1093 00:51:04,920 --> 00:51:06,600 Speaker 1: played in the league for like. Ten years he's playing IN. 1094 00:51:06,600 --> 00:51:09,279 Speaker 1: The ufl we didn't even have a write up in 1095 00:51:09,360 --> 00:51:12,960 Speaker 1: the system on Him from Rice. And lewis ridick told me. 1096 00:51:13,000 --> 00:51:15,680 Speaker 1: He SUCKED whenever i, see him we still make fun 1097 00:51:15,719 --> 00:51:16,040 Speaker 1: of him. 1098 00:51:16,280 --> 00:51:16,360 Speaker 3: For. 1099 00:51:16,440 --> 00:51:20,800 Speaker 1: That one just Played for Mike Zimmer vikings cowboys for a, 1100 00:51:20,840 --> 00:51:27,760 Speaker 1: long time. Big hitter but in terms of like draft guys, 1101 00:51:27,760 --> 00:51:30,000 Speaker 1: LIKE yeah I Love. Zach ertz, everyone's, like yeah SO? 1102 00:51:30,040 --> 00:51:32,319 Speaker 1: Do i, YOU know i, WAS like i Don't Think 1103 00:51:32,360 --> 00:51:35,880 Speaker 1: matt barkley's. That good neither. Do we so now if 1104 00:51:35,920 --> 00:51:38,120 Speaker 1: the decision maker disagrees, with you it. Doesn't MATTER but 1105 00:51:38,719 --> 00:51:42,160 Speaker 1: i think this notion that like one guy's pounding the. 1106 00:51:42,200 --> 00:51:46,400 Speaker 1: Table NOWADAYS now i guess they're, you Know. The eagles 1107 00:51:46,400 --> 00:51:48,680 Speaker 1: we had a pretty big. Scouting department some scouting departments. 1108 00:51:48,719 --> 00:51:53,560 Speaker 1: Are smaller do you think it would be a smart 1109 00:51:53,600 --> 00:51:55,719 Speaker 1: move for the forty nine ers To trade purdy To 1110 00:51:55,800 --> 00:51:58,600 Speaker 1: the STEELERS. For, tj watt Then the niners Would draft 1111 00:51:58,680 --> 00:52:01,879 Speaker 1: sanders with their. First round shador seems like the type 1112 00:52:01,880 --> 00:52:04,560 Speaker 1: of Quarterback that kyle, would like very accurate, and CHEAP 1113 00:52:04,800 --> 00:52:09,080 Speaker 1: plus Tj And. Nick bosa maybe you're ALLUDING to tj saying, 1114 00:52:09,120 --> 00:52:16,520 Speaker 1: THE DEUCES i i can't, do that as awesome it 1115 00:52:16,520 --> 00:52:19,800 Speaker 1: would be to have those two guys coming off the edge, 1116 00:52:20,120 --> 00:52:22,960 Speaker 1: this Notion and i've seen you're not the first person 1117 00:52:23,080 --> 00:52:28,759 Speaker 1: ask some version. Of this if Everyone Knew shador sanders 1118 00:52:28,880 --> 00:52:31,799 Speaker 1: was gonna be as good As, brock perty there is 1119 00:52:31,960 --> 00:52:34,680 Speaker 1: absolutely no Way The cleveland browns would pass On Shir, 1120 00:52:34,719 --> 00:52:39,600 Speaker 1: door sanders and Definitely the giants would not. Zero chance 1121 00:52:40,160 --> 00:52:42,520 Speaker 1: so both those two teams he would never make it. 1122 00:52:42,560 --> 00:52:46,160 Speaker 1: Past three but no one, knows that including the forty. 1123 00:52:46,239 --> 00:52:48,680 Speaker 1: Nine ers so you can't take the risk, of like 1124 00:52:48,800 --> 00:52:51,600 Speaker 1: what if he's not, as good not even remotely, as 1125 00:52:51,640 --> 00:52:54,640 Speaker 1: good which it's kind of the bird in the. Hand, 1126 00:52:54,719 --> 00:52:57,719 Speaker 1: thing now there are variables you have to pay, the guy, 1127 00:52:57,840 --> 00:53:02,239 Speaker 1: but like regardless of the, financial situation you just know 1128 00:53:02,480 --> 00:53:04,520 Speaker 1: you can win games. With them you do not know 1129 00:53:04,600 --> 00:53:08,080 Speaker 1: that with Even, cam ward any of these quarterbacks in 1130 00:53:08,080 --> 00:53:10,680 Speaker 1: this DRAFT so i think there's a big element to. 1131 00:53:10,719 --> 00:53:15,439 Speaker 1: That there what is to become of the running? Back 1132 00:53:15,480 --> 00:53:19,320 Speaker 1: Market ashton genty can probably go to the Transfer, Portal 1133 00:53:19,520 --> 00:53:23,960 Speaker 1: Oregon Texas ohio state and make ten. MILLION dollars i 1134 00:53:24,000 --> 00:53:25,360 Speaker 1: don't know if you can make, that MUCH but i 1135 00:53:25,400 --> 00:53:29,239 Speaker 1: hear what, you're saying and be more valuable to a 1136 00:53:29,280 --> 00:53:32,319 Speaker 1: college team THAN an. Nfl Team, najie harris first, round 1137 00:53:32,400 --> 00:53:35,720 Speaker 1: pick only made ten million dollars for his rookie contract 1138 00:53:36,120 --> 00:53:39,160 Speaker 1: for one thousand, yard seasons and most running backs aren't 1139 00:53:39,200 --> 00:53:42,760 Speaker 1: making it on their third to a third. CONTRACT anyways 1140 00:53:43,760 --> 00:53:50,680 Speaker 1: i think you're a little bold with your with, your numbers. 1141 00:53:51,520 --> 00:53:53,479 Speaker 1: YOU know i think the highest paid players in college 1142 00:53:53,520 --> 00:53:55,479 Speaker 1: football right now are making like two or three. Million 1143 00:53:55,520 --> 00:53:59,120 Speaker 1: dollars nico is one, of them and. They're quarterbacks so 1144 00:53:59,520 --> 00:54:02,240 Speaker 1: if you could make ten million dollars for, one SEASON 1145 00:54:02,719 --> 00:54:05,080 Speaker 1: then i think you would Go To ohio state and. 1146 00:54:05,120 --> 00:54:08,440 Speaker 1: Do that, you, know heartbeat. NO brainer i think That's 1147 00:54:08,480 --> 00:54:12,040 Speaker 1: Like cooper, Flag Money caleb. Williams money so it's. Pretty, 1148 00:54:12,120 --> 00:54:15,160 Speaker 1: rare now it doesn't mean we can't. Get There nigee 1149 00:54:15,160 --> 00:54:18,480 Speaker 1: harris was a late first. Round pick not only did 1150 00:54:18,480 --> 00:54:20,520 Speaker 1: he make ten million dollars for his first. FOUR years 1151 00:54:20,560 --> 00:54:22,879 Speaker 1: i think HE just i don't know what the, guarantee 1152 00:54:22,920 --> 00:54:25,200 Speaker 1: was BUT so i could be speaking out a TURN 1153 00:54:25,239 --> 00:54:27,000 Speaker 1: because i saw like nine, million dollars but if the 1154 00:54:27,000 --> 00:54:32,000 Speaker 1: guarantee was less. Than that, BUT yeah, I MEAN i 1155 00:54:32,000 --> 00:54:34,360 Speaker 1: i don't know what to. TELL you i. DON'T think 1156 00:54:35,520 --> 00:54:39,000 Speaker 1: I think blake korm is a. Good example two. Years 1157 00:54:39,000 --> 00:54:41,839 Speaker 1: ago he stayed when he could have, came out and 1158 00:54:41,880 --> 00:54:44,839 Speaker 1: he stayed, for money and because, it's, Like well i'm 1159 00:54:44,880 --> 00:54:46,840 Speaker 1: going to go on the second day of, the draft 1160 00:54:47,320 --> 00:54:49,520 Speaker 1: but if you're gonna pay me two, million dollars then 1161 00:54:49,560 --> 00:54:52,240 Speaker 1: it's a no brainer.

The context if you're 1210 00:57:36,440 --> 00:57:39,600 Speaker 1: just being a dick to be, a dick, Then yeah 1211 00:57:39,960 --> 00:57:43,720 Speaker 1: i'd be out.

RECEIVER class i know it doesn't have 1213 00:57:45,960 --> 00:57:49,880 Speaker 1: the top end Talent Like marvin HARRISON, and JSN but 1214 00:57:49,960 --> 00:57:51,640 Speaker 1: i do think it's got a lot of guys that 1215 00:57:51,720 --> 00:57:54,640 Speaker 1: are immediately plug and. PLAY starters i do believe that 1216 00:57:54,680 --> 00:57:58,160 Speaker 1: this class has quite a bit of depth. From programs, 1217 00:57:58,200 --> 00:58:02,240 Speaker 1: For example I'm a Missouri Fan. Luth burton i've seen 1218 00:58:02,280 --> 00:58:04,200 Speaker 1: him play in person for, multiple YEARS and i think 1219 00:58:04,200 --> 00:58:06,640 Speaker 1: there's a chance he's a. REAL star i don't understand 1220 00:58:06,680 --> 00:58:09,760 Speaker 1: why he's falling in. THE moncks i do think there 1221 00:58:09,760 --> 00:58:12,080 Speaker 1: are some. Question marks i'll just leave it. AT that 1222 00:58:12,520 --> 00:58:14,600 Speaker 1: i think there are just. Question marks and sometimes when 1223 00:58:14,640 --> 00:58:17,920 Speaker 1: you see a, guy fall you know, the people especially 1224 00:58:18,040 --> 00:58:22,560 Speaker 1: people that are, dialed in, YOU, Know Dj, Matt miller, 1225 00:58:23,320 --> 00:58:25,920 Speaker 1: todd McShay guys that like do this for, a living 1226 00:58:26,160 --> 00:58:30,240 Speaker 1: like mock, the draft. Mock drafts they're talking to a 1227 00:58:30,240 --> 00:58:32,560 Speaker 1: lot of people in, the league and when they just 1228 00:58:32,560 --> 00:58:35,280 Speaker 1: start telling you things that, you know it's NOT really 1229 00:58:35,360 --> 00:58:38,960 Speaker 1: dj style to come out and just say what's really 1230 00:58:39,000 --> 00:58:41,360 Speaker 1: going on about. A Player and i'm not using this 1231 00:58:41,400 --> 00:58:44,760 Speaker 1: as an Example, for luthor but like that's usually why. 1232 00:58:44,800 --> 00:58:47,560 Speaker 1: Guys fall and then there's sometimes as simple as, like 1233 00:58:47,560 --> 00:58:49,640 Speaker 1: eah we don't think he's fast, or Whatever because i'm. 1234 00:58:49,640 --> 00:58:51,400 Speaker 1: WITH you i watched him play a lot the last couple. 1235 00:58:51,400 --> 00:58:55,360 Speaker 1: Of years you guys. Were good he. WAS good i think, 1236 00:58:55,480 --> 00:59:00,240 Speaker 1: LAST year, I Mean malik nighbors pretty, elite prospect pretty. 1237 00:59:00,280 --> 00:59:03,800 Speaker 1: Damn Good marvin harrison is like underwhelming and he's pretty 1238 00:59:03,800 --> 00:59:06,600 Speaker 1: good based on, one season not all. His fault but 1239 00:59:07,080 --> 00:59:09,120 Speaker 1: if you could redo, THE draft i mean You're Taking 1240 00:59:09,120 --> 00:59:12,400 Speaker 1: elie Neighbors Over. Marvin harrison we've just had pretty good 1241 00:59:12,440 --> 00:59:15,160 Speaker 1: wide receiver drafts over the last, SEVERAL years, i mean 1242 00:59:15,280 --> 00:59:17,920 Speaker 1: really good wide. Receiver DRAFTS so i think there are 1243 00:59:17,920 --> 00:59:20,960 Speaker 1: a lot of question marks with, this, Crew Right travis 1244 00:59:21,000 --> 00:59:23,760 Speaker 1: hunter is like this, hybrid player so, it's like is 1245 00:59:23,760 --> 00:59:27,080 Speaker 1: he even a? WIDE receiver i, don't. KNOW McMillan i 1246 00:59:27,080 --> 00:59:31,720 Speaker 1: think there are some question marks with just, overall speed, 1247 00:59:31,880 --> 00:59:34,240 Speaker 1: you know guys. LIKE him i think there hasn't been 1248 00:59:34,320 --> 00:59:37,520 Speaker 1: a wide receiver drafted in the top ten or twelve 1249 00:59:38,480 --> 00:59:43,360 Speaker 1: that ran as slow as Him Since. Mike Evans Now 1250 00:59:43,400 --> 00:59:45,560 Speaker 1: mike Evans a Hall. Of famer but like it shows 1251 00:59:45,600 --> 00:59:47,600 Speaker 1: you there's a little bit of. An outlier and sometimes 1252 00:59:47,600 --> 00:59:49,479 Speaker 1: when you run in the four fives or four six 1253 00:59:49,560 --> 00:59:53,000 Speaker 1: is even if you dominate in college you get. Discriminated, 1254 00:59:53,000 --> 00:59:57,720 Speaker 1: Against now i've seen a lot Of Guys, Keenan Allen, 1255 00:59:57,840 --> 01:00:01,840 Speaker 1: davante Adams, not blazers, elite players, you know in the 1256 01:00:01,880 --> 01:00:04,080 Speaker 1: prime of. Their CAREER so i think you got to 1257 01:00:04,120 --> 01:00:05,760 Speaker 1: be careful. About that but those guys went in the. 1258 01:00:05,760 --> 01:00:09,320 Speaker 1: Second ROUND and i, THINK historically, i mean just look at, 1259 01:00:09,360 --> 01:00:11,520 Speaker 1: recent memory some of the best, wide receivers some of 1260 01:00:11,560 --> 01:00:14,360 Speaker 1: the highest paid wide receivers have not been first. Round, 1261 01:00:14,360 --> 01:00:17,360 Speaker 1: picks now some of them, have Been Right, Jamar Chase, 1262 01:00:17,800 --> 01:00:21,280 Speaker 1: Justin Jefferson. Ceedee lamb but there's also that crew OF Like, 1263 01:00:21,680 --> 01:00:27,680 Speaker 1: AJ Brown. Dk Metcalf so terry McLaurin was not a first. 1264 01:00:27,760 --> 01:00:44,640 Speaker 1: Round Pick diard, ravens fan what moves do you see 1265 01:00:44,720 --> 01:00:47,240 Speaker 1: us making? This offseason not exactly sure on our. Cap 1266 01:00:47,320 --> 01:00:49,560 Speaker 1: space off the top of, my head you usually don't. 1267 01:00:49,560 --> 01:00:52,320 Speaker 1: Have much me personally would love to send maybe, a 1268 01:00:52,400 --> 01:00:57,560 Speaker 1: first maybe two First, to cleveland but they Never, Give 1269 01:00:57,760 --> 01:01:02,440 Speaker 1: no you're not getting Miles get like the thing is 1270 01:01:02,480 --> 01:01:05,080 Speaker 1: in basketball, AND baseball i can trade a guy whenever 1271 01:01:05,120 --> 01:01:07,400 Speaker 1: because their contract is kind of pay by as you 1272 01:01:07,440 --> 01:01:11,000 Speaker 1: go IN the nfl with, signing bonuses LIKE once i 1273 01:01:11,080 --> 01:01:14,240 Speaker 1: give a guy a huge contract, it's very very difficult 1274 01:01:14,240 --> 01:01:16,720 Speaker 1: to trade the guy and even be willing to. Trade 1275 01:01:16,800 --> 01:01:22,440 Speaker 1: HIM so i think With, the, ravens honestly you guys 1276 01:01:22,480 --> 01:01:23,880 Speaker 1: have been good enough the last couple of years to 1277 01:01:23,920 --> 01:01:26,920 Speaker 1: Win A. Super bowl it really hasn't been a. Roster thing, 1278 01:01:27,400 --> 01:01:29,680 Speaker 1: You Know derek henry's a little. OLDER now, i mean 1279 01:01:29,680 --> 01:01:32,200 Speaker 1: you sign him, last year. HE'S old i wouldn't be 1280 01:01:32,240 --> 01:01:34,200 Speaker 1: shocked at all if you draft a, running BACK and 1281 01:01:34,440 --> 01:01:37,720 Speaker 1: i would say the first three rounds you can never 1282 01:01:37,760 --> 01:01:41,120 Speaker 1: have enough, offensive lineman, you know. DEFENSIVE line, I mean 1283 01:01:41,240 --> 01:01:43,080 Speaker 1: i just think you guys are kind of. Meeting potatoes 1284 01:01:43,160 --> 01:01:46,480 Speaker 1: but last year He, drafted wiggins the Corner. From clemson's 1285 01:01:46,720 --> 01:01:49,440 Speaker 1: he looks like he's. Pretty good humphrey's getting, up there 1286 01:01:49,480 --> 01:01:51,280 Speaker 1: a little bit, in age a lot of wear and 1287 01:01:51,280 --> 01:01:53,240 Speaker 1: tear on, those tires but he's still a really. GOOD player, 1288 01:01:53,240 --> 01:01:54,920 Speaker 1: i mean once they bumped him into. The slot, Last, 1289 01:01:55,000 --> 01:01:57,720 Speaker 1: year hamilton You. GOT roquon, i mean you got a. 1290 01:01:57,720 --> 01:02:01,560 Speaker 1: GOOD team i don't take the. Best players what do. 1291 01:02:01,560 --> 01:02:04,560 Speaker 1: You need it's more.

Contingency plan why do You think tomlin 1296 01:02:15,400 --> 01:02:18,520 Speaker 1: And the steelers front office are so tone death with the. 1297 01:02:18,680 --> 01:02:21,880 Speaker 1: QUARTERBACK position i actually really don't think. THEY are i 1298 01:02:21,960 --> 01:02:24,840 Speaker 1: just think you find YOURSELF and i use this analogy 1299 01:02:24,880 --> 01:02:27,800 Speaker 1: With the chiefs. And tackles when you, draft late what 1300 01:02:27,840 --> 01:02:30,880 Speaker 1: are you supposed? To?

Overall pick, it backfired and he's not 1303 01:02:39,560 --> 01:02:41,680 Speaker 1: even on. The, team hell he's On his however many teams, 1304 01:02:41,680 --> 01:02:43,920 Speaker 1: he's Been, the Steelers, the eagles and now he's on 1305 01:02:43,920 --> 01:02:47,520 Speaker 1: his third team.

The bills, it's like 1328 01:04:00,360 --> 01:04:01,000 Speaker 1: what's the point of? 1329 01:04:01,040 --> 01:04:01,120 Speaker 2: This? 1330 01:04:01,200 --> 01:04:04,880 Speaker 1: Game Right Or aaron, rodgers GAME which i think you guys, 1331 01:04:04,920 --> 01:04:07,880 Speaker 1: did win which. Was cool the one did you guys 1332 01:04:07,880 --> 01:04:08,360 Speaker 1: Beat the jets? 1333 01:04:08,440 --> 01:04:08,600 Speaker 2: Last? 1334 01:04:08,640 --> 01:04:11,240 Speaker 1: Year yeah you did right on a walk OFF touchdown, 1335 01:04:11,280 --> 01:04:13,560 Speaker 1: i think or basically a walk off touchdown drove. The 1336 01:04:13,560 --> 01:04:17,360 Speaker 1: field watched, that game but we're not consuming. You right 1337 01:04:17,560 --> 01:04:20,800 Speaker 1: so like Last year stingley became. A star why the team? 1338 01:04:20,880 --> 01:04:22,880 Speaker 1: Was good they've been a playoff team two years in. 1339 01:04:22,920 --> 01:04:26,360 Speaker 1: A row patrick's certain how did he kind of take a? 1340 01:04:26,440 --> 01:04:29,200 Speaker 1: Huge jump was team last year was the. Playoff TEAM 1341 01:04:29,560 --> 01:04:33,400 Speaker 1: so i think a huge part of becoming a quote 1342 01:04:33,480 --> 01:04:37,640 Speaker 1: unquote sexy name or whatever or talked about player IN, 1343 01:04:37,640 --> 01:04:41,120 Speaker 1: the nfl it's really hard unless you're a rookie in 1344 01:04:41,240 --> 01:04:45,280 Speaker 1: like set, some records you're drafting the top five back to. 1345 01:04:45,320 --> 01:04:47,560 Speaker 1: Back years we're just we're not going to be as dialed. 1346 01:04:47,560 --> 01:04:50,320 Speaker 1: Into you it's much easier To Watch steph Curry and 1347 01:04:50,360 --> 01:04:55,560 Speaker 1: lebron than it is to watch Like the hawks anyone 1348 01:04:55,600 --> 01:04:59,120 Speaker 1: you like offense. Or defensive rookie of, The year fantasy 1349 01:04:59,160 --> 01:05:02,560 Speaker 1: picks for rookies by, the way got any promos for 1350 01:05:02,640 --> 01:05:05,400 Speaker 1: DraftKings and? Game time? Of Course John Jaway. CHEN baby 1351 01:05:06,320 --> 01:05:11,080 Speaker 1: i think to make, those predictions you kind of got 1352 01:05:11,080 --> 01:05:13,760 Speaker 1: to see where. GUYS go, i mean one thing we've 1353 01:05:13,840 --> 01:05:17,120 Speaker 1: learned the last couple of years who you are playing 1354 01:05:17,160 --> 01:05:20,840 Speaker 1: with as a either running Back, or LIKE if i 1355 01:05:20,880 --> 01:05:24,560 Speaker 1: tell You the chargers draft a running back in the, 1356 01:05:24,600 --> 01:05:27,440 Speaker 1: FIRST round i WOULD say i would probably like that 1357 01:05:27,480 --> 01:05:29,320 Speaker 1: guy to have a chance to be the offensive rookie of. 1358 01:05:29,320 --> 01:05:31,720 Speaker 1: The year right if if you Tell me Denver the 1359 01:05:31,800 --> 01:05:36,040 Speaker 1: chargers draft a running back, Really high i'm kind of gonna. Like, It, right, 1360 01:05:36,320 --> 01:05:41,160 Speaker 1: SO yeah i think the fit for all now defensive 1361 01:05:41,240 --> 01:05:44,400 Speaker 1: rookie of. The year, you KNOW if i Have dual 1362 01:05:44,440 --> 01:05:48,560 Speaker 1: carter goes To, THE giants i means he's GONNA be i, 1363 01:05:48,600 --> 01:05:53,400 Speaker 1: don't know trying.

Drew brees this is one of 1366 01:06:00,360 --> 01:06:04,400 Speaker 1: the most underrated and underappreciated athletes. In sports after being 1367 01:06:04,400 --> 01:06:06,160 Speaker 1: on the wrong side of some of the most iconic 1368 01:06:06,160 --> 01:06:10,280 Speaker 1: playoff games such As The, minneapolis Miracle The, no Call The, 1369 01:06:10,320 --> 01:06:13,400 Speaker 1: beast Quake The vernon Davis The. Grab game do you 1370 01:06:13,440 --> 01:06:16,920 Speaker 1: think if a handful of these games ended differently and 1371 01:06:17,000 --> 01:06:19,520 Speaker 1: we would have a much different opinion. Of them it 1372 01:06:19,720 --> 01:06:22,720 Speaker 1: always said that It was brady In the, manning ERA 1373 01:06:22,840 --> 01:06:25,840 Speaker 1: but i feel like It undervalues breeze just Because the saints' 1374 01:06:26,040 --> 01:06:28,960 Speaker 1: Defense Made sam bradford look like the next. Great quarterback 1375 01:06:30,280 --> 01:06:34,320 Speaker 1: it's a pretty, GOOD question i. WOULD say, i mean 1376 01:06:34,360 --> 01:06:36,360 Speaker 1: if a couple, GOES away i mean the one what 1377 01:06:36,440 --> 01:06:39,360 Speaker 1: if he Wins The? Super, bowl right the one the, 1378 01:06:39,360 --> 01:06:42,400 Speaker 1: past Interference The, Jared goffire what if they went and 1379 01:06:42,440 --> 01:06:45,080 Speaker 1: they Beat. The patriots it's not Like the patriots were 1380 01:06:45,080 --> 01:06:47,680 Speaker 1: world beaters. That year they Beat, the rams what thirteen, 1381 01:06:47,720 --> 01:06:50,520 Speaker 1: To three so it's fair to say they were beatable in. 1382 01:06:50,560 --> 01:06:53,600 Speaker 1: THAT game i, would. SAY yeah, i mean part of 1383 01:06:53,640 --> 01:06:55,360 Speaker 1: it is Like If DREW if i Told You drew 1384 01:06:55,400 --> 01:06:58,360 Speaker 1: brees Won Two super bowls and went, TO another i 1385 01:06:58,440 --> 01:07:00,200 Speaker 1: think we would look at him a little differently. For 1386 01:07:00,240 --> 01:07:04,520 Speaker 1: sure that's part of the way, Sports works like it's 1387 01:07:04,560 --> 01:07:06,520 Speaker 1: easy to make Fun Of james Harden If james harden 1388 01:07:06,560 --> 01:07:09,160 Speaker 1: was a two time champion and it's IN an, NBA 1389 01:07:09,200 --> 01:07:13,880 Speaker 1: finals mvp know On what i'm, saying that which non 1390 01:07:13,960 --> 01:07:17,600 Speaker 1: player do you think contributed the Most to washington's success? 1391 01:07:17,720 --> 01:07:21,520 Speaker 1: LAST season i think you'd have to say the. HEAD coach, 1392 01:07:21,720 --> 01:07:25,520 Speaker 1: I Mean adam Peters Picked. Jayden DANIELS but i think 1393 01:07:25,560 --> 01:07:27,640 Speaker 1: it's fair to say that everyone was on, board THERE 1394 01:07:28,480 --> 01:07:32,600 Speaker 1: and I think adam's. A stud but, their TEAM and 1395 01:07:32,720 --> 01:07:34,840 Speaker 1: i Would imagine adam would, say this like, last year 1396 01:07:34,880 --> 01:07:38,160 Speaker 1: their roster on paper was NOT a nfc, championship roster 1397 01:07:38,240 --> 01:07:42,080 Speaker 1: So dan quinn getting those guys to believe the, toughness 1398 01:07:42,080 --> 01:07:46,920 Speaker 1: factor just a well rounded. Like operation it's felt like 1399 01:07:47,120 --> 01:07:51,640 Speaker 1: For decades washington was just kind of clueless and PART 1400 01:07:51,640 --> 01:07:54,320 Speaker 1: of i mean a huge reason their owner was, always acting, 1401 01:07:54,480 --> 01:07:56,800 Speaker 1: You Know. Bruce allen they always had too many cooks in. 1402 01:07:56,800 --> 01:08:00,360 Speaker 1: The kitchen and it just feels like they're just a. 1403 01:08:00,360 --> 01:08:02,440 Speaker 1: Normal organization they got A, good gm they got a 1404 01:08:02,440 --> 01:08:07,080 Speaker 1: coach and knows what. He's DOING So i i'd probably Lean. Dan, 1405 01:08:07,120 --> 01:08:12,560 Speaker 1: quinn uh you said you're currently a five handicaps. Five 1406 01:08:12,640 --> 01:08:16,240 Speaker 1: handicap describe the strengths in your weaknesses of your, golf 1407 01:08:16,280 --> 01:08:20,600 Speaker 1: game things you need to.

TO play, i mean 1410 01:08:26,160 --> 01:08:28,120 Speaker 1: if it's one hundred, and fifteen it's difficult. To play 1411 01:08:28,120 --> 01:08:31,120 Speaker 1: but if it's one, oh eight. One ten got the course. 1412 01:08:31,160 --> 01:08:33,760 Speaker 1: TO yourself i can play a teen holes in. Two 1413 01:08:33,800 --> 01:08:37,240 Speaker 1: hours the strength of my, Golf game i'm a. Ball 1414 01:08:37,240 --> 01:08:40,880 Speaker 1: striker weakness anything around the, green putting worset Putter. In 1415 01:08:40,920 --> 01:08:44,479 Speaker 1: america there is not a worst Putter in america than. 1416 01:08:44,520 --> 01:08:48,960 Speaker 1: Your boy it doesn't get. Any worse i've, changed putters it. 1417 01:08:49,000 --> 01:08:52,080 Speaker 1: Doesn't matter i'm just not a. Good PUTTER so i 1418 01:08:52,120 --> 01:08:55,479 Speaker 1: can play like a shoot up, seventy FOUR and i 1419 01:08:55,479 --> 01:08:57,160 Speaker 1: can putt like, one hundred and THAT'S why i end 1420 01:08:57,200 --> 01:09:01,880 Speaker 1: up shooting in the, low eighties. PUTTING terrible i would 1421 01:09:01,920 --> 01:09:05,000 Speaker 1: play golf in the heat any day over. The cold 1422 01:09:06,120 --> 01:09:08,200 Speaker 1: Should the vikings take a page Of the eagles book 1423 01:09:08,200 --> 01:09:12,759 Speaker 1: And extend addison Early use the fifth year thought process 1424 01:09:12,800 --> 01:09:15,679 Speaker 1: is based on McCarthy being the guy and capitalizing on his. Rookie, 1425 01:09:15,720 --> 01:09:19,320 Speaker 1: deal yeah not a bad idea. AT all, i mean 1426 01:09:19,360 --> 01:09:23,400 Speaker 1: he's probably gonna get suspended right for that dy situation from, 1427 01:09:23,479 --> 01:09:30,360 Speaker 1: Last year but he's, a PLAYER so i never against extending. Good, 1428 01:09:30,400 --> 01:09:33,680 Speaker 1: players now he's not gonna, be cheap so YOU have 1429 01:09:35,040 --> 01:09:37,320 Speaker 1: I guess jamar is now technically the highest, paid player 1430 01:09:37,720 --> 01:09:40,400 Speaker 1: but one of the highest paid non quarterbacks in the 1431 01:09:40,479 --> 01:09:44,160 Speaker 1: league at. That position so are you going to Also? 1432 01:09:44,200 --> 01:09:47,559 Speaker 1: Pay addison it's like You're getting addison for fifty. MILLION dollars, 1433 01:09:47,600 --> 01:09:49,719 Speaker 1: i mean it's probably gonna cost you eighty ninety million. 1434 01:09:49,760 --> 01:09:53,360 Speaker 1: Dollars guaranteed you're basically just taking the approach Of. THE 1435 01:09:53,400 --> 01:09:56,880 Speaker 1: bengals i GUESS which i can't.

The year 1452 01:10:47,560 --> 01:10:51,519 Speaker 1: what's your opinion on Why the packers don't do shit? Every, 1453 01:10:51,600 --> 01:10:57,559 Speaker 1: year uh that's a. Good question. You know coward's always had, 1454 01:10:57,560 --> 01:11:00,000 Speaker 1: the THEORY and I think he's probably on. To something 1455 01:11:00,040 --> 01:11:04,120 Speaker 1: thing is not having an owner is like a blessing and. 1456 01:11:04,200 --> 01:11:07,400 Speaker 1: A curse not having an owner is incredible because for, 1457 01:11:07,439 --> 01:11:11,160 Speaker 1: whatever reason you have just had very very Capable From 1458 01:11:11,720 --> 01:11:14,599 Speaker 1: ron wolf who's Obviously a Hall, of Famer To ted 1459 01:11:14,640 --> 01:11:17,200 Speaker 1: thompson to Now To, Gouda, kins like these guys, are, 1460 01:11:17,240 --> 01:11:21,479 Speaker 1: good right but there's not someone hanging over them with 1461 01:11:21,680 --> 01:11:25,040 Speaker 1: billions of dollars in a, bank account huge ego and 1462 01:11:25,240 --> 01:11:27,800 Speaker 1: just like going to country clubs where his friends are asking, 1463 01:11:27,840 --> 01:11:29,160 Speaker 1: him like what's the deal with you with? 1464 01:11:29,200 --> 01:11:29,320 Speaker 2: Your? 1465 01:11:29,360 --> 01:11:33,240 Speaker 1: Team right what's? Going on seeing them at. Yacht parties 1466 01:11:33,800 --> 01:11:37,880 Speaker 1: so there's not as much urgency and pressure as when 1467 01:11:37,920 --> 01:11:40,439 Speaker 1: you're just working for one of these super, rich guys 1468 01:11:40,560 --> 01:11:43,639 Speaker 1: especially the older super, rich guys so like they can 1469 01:11:43,720 --> 01:11:45,880 Speaker 1: just kind of slow and stead he wins the race 1470 01:11:46,439 --> 01:11:50,639 Speaker 1: and they feel the least likely to ever just here's 1471 01:11:50,680 --> 01:11:53,519 Speaker 1: two first round Picks For.

West games he is a fantastic and, 1498 01:13:39,760 --> 01:13:43,600 Speaker 1: elite player but, saying, LIKE yeah i would draft a 1499 01:13:43,840 --> 01:13:46,760 Speaker 1: lineman at six and then take a running back in 1500 01:13:46,760 --> 01:13:49,280 Speaker 1: the second or third round is not a shot. At 1501 01:13:49,320 --> 01:13:53,240 Speaker 1: him it's just basic. Football economics and, one thing THIS 1502 01:13:53,439 --> 01:13:57,760 Speaker 1: clip i Did with coward the, OTHER day i don't 1503 01:13:57,760 --> 01:14:00,760 Speaker 1: want to say, went viral but it just got put 1504 01:14:00,800 --> 01:14:03,639 Speaker 1: on a reel and one hundred thousand.

Jamir gibbs he's because one thing 1507 01:14:10,160 --> 01:14:11,840 Speaker 1: is like a five eight running back and People Like 1508 01:14:11,960 --> 01:14:14,280 Speaker 1: barry sanders, is short so we're comparing With To. Barry 1509 01:14:14,280 --> 01:14:17,920 Speaker 1: sanders like that's so, it's, like okay if He Becomes, 1510 01:14:18,000 --> 01:14:20,880 Speaker 1: barry sanders what's the likelihood. Of that it's Like cam 1511 01:14:20,880 --> 01:14:23,880 Speaker 1: ward if He Becomes, Patrick, mahomes, like, well yeah, no 1512 01:14:24,120 --> 01:14:27,960 Speaker 1: shit you know that's not how. This works, Guess what 1513 01:14:28,200 --> 01:14:29,880 Speaker 1: i've been alive for. Forty years you know How Many 1514 01:14:29,880 --> 01:14:34,840 Speaker 1: Barry sanders i've? Seen one So Like, jamiir gibbs he's. Five, nine, 1515 01:14:35,040 --> 01:14:38,280 Speaker 1: WELL yeah i Would Take ashon Genty And tyler warren 1516 01:14:38,560 --> 01:14:41,040 Speaker 1: because that's What the lions Got With. Jamiir gibbs they 1517 01:14:41,040 --> 01:14:44,519 Speaker 1: traded from six to twelve and they got picked, thirty 1518 01:14:44,600 --> 01:14:48,040 Speaker 1: seven and they got a tight end Who's Name sam 1519 01:14:48,160 --> 01:14:50,880 Speaker 1: laporta to Go With, jamiir gibbs who again ran a 1520 01:14:50,960 --> 01:14:53,760 Speaker 1: four to. Three, five Now Maybe ashon genty is a 1521 01:14:53,760 --> 01:14:55,600 Speaker 1: four to three. Five guy if you told me that 1522 01:14:55,640 --> 01:14:57,120 Speaker 1: he had ran his forty and ran a four to, 1523 01:14:57,120 --> 01:15:00,000 Speaker 1: THREE five i would be more bullish on the draft 1524 01:15:00,120 --> 01:15:02,400 Speaker 1: pick at twelve if you told me it like picked. 1525 01:15:02,400 --> 01:15:05,400 Speaker 1: Twelve thirteen i'm not. AGAINST it i just think when 1526 01:15:05,400 --> 01:15:08,000 Speaker 1: we're talking about like, pick, five, six seven seems a 1527 01:15:08,080 --> 01:15:12,719 Speaker 1: little extreme to me in a class loaded with running 1528 01:15:12,760 --> 01:15:14,600 Speaker 1: backs that you can get like a starter in the 1529 01:15:14,600 --> 01:15:17,519 Speaker 1: second or third round and take my starting left tackle 1530 01:15:17,640 --> 01:15:21,000 Speaker 1: or defensive lineman in the. First round That's all i've been, 1531 01:15:21,000 --> 01:15:25,360 Speaker 1: Talking about not that like this. Guy sucks i've never 1532 01:15:25,400 --> 01:15:29,320 Speaker 1: said that. One time he's a really, good player. Awesome 1533 01:15:29,360 --> 01:15:33,519 Speaker 1: player but we've seen three guys get drafted in recent 1534 01:15:33,560 --> 01:15:37,519 Speaker 1: memory in the, top eight and it's been a bumpy 1535 01:15:37,600 --> 01:15:40,080 Speaker 1: ride for the teams that drafted, that guy even though 1536 01:15:40,080 --> 01:15:44,639 Speaker 1: we know they're. All sweet saquon With, The Giants bjon 1537 01:15:44,760 --> 01:15:48,000 Speaker 1: robinson is an. Elite talent, it's, like yeah it's like 1538 01:15:48,120 --> 01:15:52,679 Speaker 1: not working.

As well people that 1569 01:17:40,120 --> 01:17:44,920 Speaker 1: quote unquote in the media spend a large portion Of 1570 01:17:44,960 --> 01:17:49,400 Speaker 1: their internet Going. On twitter and if you Live, on 1571 01:17:49,479 --> 01:17:53,280 Speaker 1: twitter it can make you feel that like this is 1572 01:17:53,320 --> 01:17:58,120 Speaker 1: all everyone's talking.

On IT but 1576 01:18:06,520 --> 01:18:09,000 Speaker 1: i think on a. Daily basis if you live in, 1577 01:18:09,040 --> 01:18:12,559 Speaker 1: that world it can kind. Of convolude you're thinking of 1578 01:18:12,640 --> 01:18:17,760 Speaker 1: how aggressively people want to talk, about SOMETHING and i 1579 01:18:17,800 --> 01:18:21,439 Speaker 1: think their percentage of the pie chart relative to just 1580 01:18:22,040 --> 01:18:27,200 Speaker 1: some dude that like sells insurance or the electrician that 1581 01:18:27,320 --> 01:18:30,160 Speaker 1: just came over to my house to fix some screwed 1582 01:18:30,240 --> 01:18:33,240 Speaker 1: up things in, my wiring AND just i, don't know 1583 01:18:33,400 --> 01:18:36,160 Speaker 1: normal everyday people that aren't in, the media that have, 1584 01:18:36,640 --> 01:18:40,760 Speaker 1: just jobs don't spend that much time and aren't inundated with. 1585 01:18:40,880 --> 01:18:44,280 Speaker 1: These thoughts so when you hear these, people that let's, 1586 01:18:44,320 --> 01:18:47,040 Speaker 1: face it all like the majority of sports media all 1587 01:18:47,160 --> 01:18:50,920 Speaker 1: lean heavily to. One side so they see their peer 1588 01:18:50,960 --> 01:18:54,920 Speaker 1: group all agreeing with what, they're SAYING that i think 1589 01:18:54,920 --> 01:18:57,960 Speaker 1: they HAVE a I just i'm. WITH you i don't 1590 01:18:57,960 --> 01:19:00,320 Speaker 1: think most people like are in. THE mood i think 1591 01:19:00,360 --> 01:19:02,759 Speaker 1: one thing that people, screw UP and I think twitter 1592 01:19:02,800 --> 01:19:07,680 Speaker 1: has made most of. These people it's hurt their ability, 1593 01:19:07,760 --> 01:19:10,920 Speaker 1: TO just i, don't know look at something through the 1594 01:19:11,000 --> 01:19:14,679 Speaker 1: lens of not. TRYING to i think groupthink definitely creeps 1595 01:19:14,680 --> 01:19:17,720 Speaker 1: in when you spend a lot of time on that 1596 01:19:17,760 --> 01:19:21,679 Speaker 1: app because you're afraid to go outside of, the, box 1597 01:19:21,720 --> 01:19:24,960 Speaker 1: which let's, face it most successful people kind of push 1598 01:19:25,040 --> 01:19:28,040 Speaker 1: the envelope in, any industry and that used to be 1599 01:19:28,080 --> 01:19:30,680 Speaker 1: a huge part. Of media the most successful people in 1600 01:19:30,720 --> 01:19:34,320 Speaker 1: the space and still to this day get Crushed, on, 1601 01:19:34,360 --> 01:19:37,880 Speaker 1: Twitter RIGHT and, i, THINK honestly i think that has, 1602 01:19:37,920 --> 01:19:42,400 Speaker 1: a huge huge problem. FOR people i guess quote unquote 1603 01:19:42,400 --> 01:19:48,760 Speaker 1: podcasters in terms of talking About POLITICS. STEVEN a, i 1604 01:19:48,960 --> 01:19:50,880 Speaker 1: mean there's a lot of money, in politics so if 1605 01:19:50,880 --> 01:19:54,080 Speaker 1: you just want to talk, ABOUT it i guess if 1606 01:19:54,120 --> 01:19:57,640 Speaker 1: you're using him as an example from a, Spiritual standpoint 1607 01:19:57,720 --> 01:20:00,559 Speaker 1: i'm not QUITE sure i follow on.
