1
00:00:00,800 --> 00:00:06,200
Speaker 1: And now move the sticks with Daniel Jeremiah and Bucky Brooks.

2
00:00:07,680 --> 00:00:10,600
Speaker 1: What's going on, everybody, d J Bucky here, moved the sticks. Buck.

3
00:00:10,600 --> 00:00:12,559
Speaker 1: How was your weekend, man man? As good as a

4
00:00:12,640 --> 00:00:15,280
Speaker 1: football field weekend? You know, we started having college games

5
00:00:15,320 --> 00:00:17,759
Speaker 1: played from Thursday on, so you can't complain about that.

6
00:00:18,120 --> 00:00:21,560
Speaker 1: No Thursday to Monday. That was awesome. I mean college football.

7
00:00:21,600 --> 00:00:23,160
Speaker 1: I love the NFL as much as anybody, but having

8
00:00:23,239 --> 00:00:25,640
Speaker 1: that much college football every single day, you wake up

9
00:00:25,640 --> 00:00:27,680
Speaker 1: there with something else happening. And the games were nuts.

10
00:00:28,320 --> 00:00:29,720
Speaker 1: I mean, we can get We'll get into all these

11
00:00:29,760 --> 00:00:31,720
Speaker 1: games here in just a second, but as far as

12
00:00:31,800 --> 00:00:34,080
Speaker 1: opening weekends go, this is one of the best ones

13
00:00:34,080 --> 00:00:36,560
Speaker 1: I can remember. A lot of competitive games, and we

14
00:00:36,640 --> 00:00:38,400
Speaker 1: got a chance to see really good teams on the

15
00:00:38,440 --> 00:00:41,839
Speaker 1: big stage. Alabama, Florida State, Michigan, Florida. We got a

16
00:00:41,880 --> 00:00:45,000
Speaker 1: chance to see teams full of NFL prospects play against

17
00:00:45,040 --> 00:00:46,880
Speaker 1: each other early in the year. That's exactly what you

18
00:00:46,880 --> 00:00:49,160
Speaker 1: want when your scout, all Right Sully is not here today.

19
00:00:49,200 --> 00:00:51,319
Speaker 1: I'm tempted to just I was tempted to not even

20
00:00:51,360 --> 00:00:53,880
Speaker 1: say anything about the Tennessee game, like, not even acknowledge it.

21
00:00:53,960 --> 00:00:56,120
Speaker 1: Just to the whole episode, just so that when he's

22
00:00:56,120 --> 00:00:58,240
Speaker 1: on the airplane on the way back and he's downloading

23
00:00:58,240 --> 00:01:01,120
Speaker 1: and listening to this episode, he's just waiting just on

24
00:01:01,160 --> 00:01:04,760
Speaker 1: the edge of his seat in the airplane, probably knee shaking,

25
00:01:04,480 --> 00:01:06,680
Speaker 1: when we're gonna talk about the balls and just never

26
00:01:06,720 --> 00:01:09,399
Speaker 1: even mentioned him throughout the whole broadcast. So well, we'll

27
00:01:09,400 --> 00:01:10,920
Speaker 1: mention him, but we're gonna get to him in just

28
00:01:10,959 --> 00:01:12,200
Speaker 1: a little bit because I think we need to start

29
00:01:12,200 --> 00:01:14,360
Speaker 1: a little bit earlier in the week from what we saw.

30
00:01:14,440 --> 00:01:17,280
Speaker 1: Let's start real quick, buck Ohio State, Indiana, your first

31
00:01:17,319 --> 00:01:19,480
Speaker 1: impressions of what you saw from the Buck Eyes. So

32
00:01:19,760 --> 00:01:23,280
Speaker 1: in our MTS notebook, I talked about Ohio States defensive

33
00:01:23,319 --> 00:01:25,560
Speaker 1: line and how Greg Ciano had went on record and

34
00:01:25,600 --> 00:01:27,840
Speaker 1: said that his most downed team that he had in

35
00:01:27,920 --> 00:01:30,600
Speaker 1: terms of that group, and that went back to his

36
00:01:30,680 --> 00:01:32,840
Speaker 1: days at Tampa, and after watching that d line, I

37
00:01:32,920 --> 00:01:35,679
Speaker 1: kind of agree with him. Uh Sam Hubbard, takowon Louis

38
00:01:35,800 --> 00:01:38,279
Speaker 1: nick Bosa and the rest of their crew. Up front,

39
00:01:38,440 --> 00:01:40,399
Speaker 1: they have everything that you look for. I think they

40
00:01:40,400 --> 00:01:43,040
Speaker 1: have maybe five or six guys that are draftable. Three

41
00:01:43,040 --> 00:01:45,600
Speaker 1: of those guys maybe first round picks. And I came

42
00:01:45,640 --> 00:01:49,240
Speaker 1: away in love with Sam Hubbard for Ohio State. When

43
00:01:49,280 --> 00:01:52,960
Speaker 1: you think about a guy that the six six sixty pounds,

44
00:01:52,960 --> 00:01:55,240
Speaker 1: who has a big time high school across background, who

45
00:01:55,280 --> 00:01:57,920
Speaker 1: was a high school safety that became a linebacker in the

46
00:01:57,880 --> 00:02:00,280
Speaker 1: the defensive end, I just think he is going to

47
00:02:00,320 --> 00:02:02,000
Speaker 1: be one of those guys that when we get closer

48
00:02:02,040 --> 00:02:04,200
Speaker 1: to the draft, whenever he comes out, he's gonna be

49
00:02:04,200 --> 00:02:06,920
Speaker 1: someone that we really talk about because the athleticism that

50
00:02:07,000 --> 00:02:09,600
Speaker 1: he displays is uncommon in the edge player. Well, they

51
00:02:09,600 --> 00:02:11,600
Speaker 1: have a lot of NFL dudes in their front and

52
00:02:11,760 --> 00:02:14,200
Speaker 1: uh secondary, I thought they were in pretty good position.

53
00:02:14,639 --> 00:02:16,760
Speaker 1: Indianimates and plays those big white outs down the field.

54
00:02:16,800 --> 00:02:20,400
Speaker 1: But overall, this Ohio State defense specifically is absolutely loaded

55
00:02:20,440 --> 00:02:22,160
Speaker 1: with Townable. I want to also real quick before we

56
00:02:22,200 --> 00:02:24,480
Speaker 1: get deep into these college games. After we finish up

57
00:02:24,480 --> 00:02:26,440
Speaker 1: recapping the college weekend, we are going to have some

58
00:02:26,520 --> 00:02:28,600
Speaker 1: NFL talk at the end of this episode, talking about

59
00:02:28,600 --> 00:02:30,880
Speaker 1: some of the top rookies and what we've seen from

60
00:02:30,880 --> 00:02:34,399
Speaker 1: watching those guys. But Ohio State defensively, man, it's gonna

61
00:02:34,440 --> 00:02:36,640
Speaker 1: be fun challenge. When Oklahoma comes rolling through, we'll get

62
00:02:36,680 --> 00:02:38,040
Speaker 1: a chance to preview that a little bit later in

63
00:02:38,040 --> 00:02:41,560
Speaker 1: the week, but that's gonna be a good one. Other games, Buck, Look,

64
00:02:42,280 --> 00:02:45,400
Speaker 1: Penn State wouldn't really challenge they played against Akron sa

65
00:02:45,520 --> 00:02:48,160
Speaker 1: Kwon Barkley did he was supposed to do. Uh, you know,

66
00:02:48,200 --> 00:02:50,680
Speaker 1: there's a there's some great running backs in college football

67
00:02:50,720 --> 00:02:52,280
Speaker 1: this year, but I still think he's he's right at

68
00:02:52,280 --> 00:02:54,240
Speaker 1: the topic. Yeah, I think he's right at the top. Obviously,

69
00:02:54,360 --> 00:02:57,120
Speaker 1: between say Kwon Barkley and Dairy Sky's desk going to

70
00:02:57,160 --> 00:02:59,160
Speaker 1: be the conversation at the running back position. The thing

71
00:02:59,200 --> 00:03:02,200
Speaker 1: that probably get of Sa Kwa Barkley the edge is

72
00:03:02,480 --> 00:03:05,720
Speaker 1: he's more of a prototypical pro style running back, meaning

73
00:03:05,800 --> 00:03:07,960
Speaker 1: that he not only can run inside and outside, but

74
00:03:07,960 --> 00:03:10,480
Speaker 1: he has the ability to go outside and play in

75
00:03:10,560 --> 00:03:12,920
Speaker 1: the slot or out wide as a wide receiver and

76
00:03:12,960 --> 00:03:16,200
Speaker 1: run routes. Um. I think they haven't fully tapped into that.

77
00:03:16,520 --> 00:03:18,640
Speaker 1: But when you see him, you know that he's versatile,

78
00:03:18,680 --> 00:03:21,600
Speaker 1: he's dynamic, he's explosive. He's everything that you look for

79
00:03:21,680 --> 00:03:23,800
Speaker 1: at that position. Let me throw another running back there

80
00:03:23,840 --> 00:03:25,280
Speaker 1: for you. I told you before we went on, I

81
00:03:25,320 --> 00:03:27,720
Speaker 1: had a chance to do the Saneo State game last weekend.

82
00:03:27,760 --> 00:03:30,840
Speaker 1: Rashot Penny. They're running back. He took over for Danielle Pumphrey.

83
00:03:30,960 --> 00:03:34,239
Speaker 1: He's two five plus pounds, he's got some serious gudea

84
00:03:34,280 --> 00:03:37,280
Speaker 1: up and juice quietly rushed for a thousand yards last year, Pumphrey,

85
00:03:37,440 --> 00:03:39,040
Speaker 1: you ended up setting the n C double A record.

86
00:03:39,040 --> 00:03:40,800
Speaker 1: But this kid rushed for a thousand yards. He's got

87
00:03:40,800 --> 00:03:43,880
Speaker 1: five kickoff returns. They played UC Davis, who's not very good.

88
00:03:43,880 --> 00:03:47,520
Speaker 1: They were overmatched. This kid's interesting and again looking ahead

89
00:03:47,560 --> 00:03:50,360
Speaker 1: real quick to this next week they play Arizona State

90
00:03:50,400 --> 00:03:52,839
Speaker 1: with Kalin Ballage, a guy that we both love. Those

91
00:03:52,880 --> 00:03:54,480
Speaker 1: are That's gonna be a fun one for scouts. If

92
00:03:54,520 --> 00:03:56,240
Speaker 1: you need a running back, get yourself out to to

93
00:03:56,400 --> 00:03:58,640
Speaker 1: Tempe and watch Arizona State in San Diego State, two

94
00:03:58,640 --> 00:04:00,920
Speaker 1: good NFL backs. Well, the big thing about that is

95
00:04:01,320 --> 00:04:03,760
Speaker 1: so many different takes on how you view the running

96
00:04:03,800 --> 00:04:05,600
Speaker 1: back position. Some people believe that you should draft a

97
00:04:05,680 --> 00:04:08,120
Speaker 1: running back high, feed them. Others believe that you can

98
00:04:08,160 --> 00:04:11,440
Speaker 1: find good quality running backs on day three, four, fifth,

99
00:04:11,440 --> 00:04:14,480
Speaker 1: sixth round. When you make those kind of cases for

100
00:04:14,560 --> 00:04:17,240
Speaker 1: running backs, you go to those games San Diego State

101
00:04:17,279 --> 00:04:19,200
Speaker 1: Arizona State to see some of those guys that may

102
00:04:19,200 --> 00:04:21,360
Speaker 1: be available in those later rounds that can come in

103
00:04:21,400 --> 00:04:23,200
Speaker 1: and help your team. Good looking back there, All right,

104
00:04:23,279 --> 00:04:25,200
Speaker 1: let's uh, let's get to the big one of the

105
00:04:25,240 --> 00:04:28,120
Speaker 1: week here. Alabama Florida State. It was funny buck, Yeah,

106
00:04:28,279 --> 00:04:30,280
Speaker 1: it was at that San Diego State game. Throughout the day,

107
00:04:30,279 --> 00:04:32,599
Speaker 1: I had watched as much as I could of the games.

108
00:04:32,960 --> 00:04:35,520
Speaker 1: Uh there in the press box. But it's fascinating to me,

109
00:04:35,560 --> 00:04:36,880
Speaker 1: and I want to get your take on this. Tell

110
00:04:36,920 --> 00:04:40,960
Speaker 1: me if I'm crazy, But so many good teams and

111
00:04:41,040 --> 00:04:43,719
Speaker 1: Florida State, who they got a ton of good athletes,

112
00:04:43,720 --> 00:04:45,159
Speaker 1: and I thought they actually went toe to toe with

113
00:04:45,160 --> 00:04:48,880
Speaker 1: Alabama pretty good really outside a couple of special teams plays.

114
00:04:48,920 --> 00:04:51,480
Speaker 1: But just on the hoof, when you're watching all these

115
00:04:51,520 --> 00:04:56,640
Speaker 1: college football games, those guys in for Alabama, they look different.

116
00:04:57,080 --> 00:04:59,640
Speaker 1: It's a different looking group. Man. It's a thirty third

117
00:04:59,720 --> 00:05:03,400
Speaker 1: NFL team. Yeah, they're they're supersized. I couldn't talk about

118
00:05:03,400 --> 00:05:08,120
Speaker 1: their their the level of physicality and toughness that they present,

119
00:05:08,240 --> 00:05:11,640
Speaker 1: how imposing they are physically. They are built different than

120
00:05:11,680 --> 00:05:13,360
Speaker 1: some of those things. But I think you you also

121
00:05:13,400 --> 00:05:16,640
Speaker 1: can make the case Florida State is built similarly. Ohio

122
00:05:16,720 --> 00:05:20,880
Speaker 1: State has athletes, but there's a little something different about Alabama.

123
00:05:20,880 --> 00:05:23,080
Speaker 1: And I've heard and Nick Saban has said this to

124
00:05:23,200 --> 00:05:25,240
Speaker 1: me when I'm gone down to pro days. He had

125
00:05:25,240 --> 00:05:28,520
Speaker 1: talked about we believe football is like a boxing match,

126
00:05:28,560 --> 00:05:30,479
Speaker 1: and there's a reason why you don't put heavyweights in

127
00:05:30,520 --> 00:05:34,159
Speaker 1: the ring with middleweights at some point. That size, that toughness,

128
00:05:34,240 --> 00:05:37,039
Speaker 1: that physicality wears you down. And when you look at Alabama,

129
00:05:37,360 --> 00:05:40,600
Speaker 1: they wear people down because they are so physically superior

130
00:05:40,640 --> 00:05:42,440
Speaker 1: to the people that they play against. I mean, just

131
00:05:42,520 --> 00:05:44,800
Speaker 1: across the board. I mean there's just I mean a

132
00:05:44,800 --> 00:05:47,840
Speaker 1: freshman running back, nagas Um he comes in and they

133
00:05:47,880 --> 00:05:50,200
Speaker 1: talked about him being as big as both Scarborough but

134
00:05:50,240 --> 00:05:52,920
Speaker 1: being able to do other things. And the list goes

135
00:05:53,040 --> 00:05:57,760
Speaker 1: on and on. Their young players back any blocked. I mean,

136
00:05:57,760 --> 00:05:59,320
Speaker 1: they're able to get their young guys on the field.

137
00:05:59,360 --> 00:06:01,279
Speaker 1: We saw Jerry, he didn't touch the ball much, but

138
00:06:01,320 --> 00:06:03,920
Speaker 1: he was already on the field that you've been talking

139
00:06:03,960 --> 00:06:05,640
Speaker 1: about him. Man, I like that guy. I like it

140
00:06:05,640 --> 00:06:08,320
Speaker 1: what Calvin Ridley catches a big ball. They are just good.

141
00:06:08,320 --> 00:06:10,920
Speaker 1: But the guy that I was focused on in the game,

142
00:06:10,960 --> 00:06:13,039
Speaker 1: I want to see what Menca Fitzpatrick was going to

143
00:06:13,080 --> 00:06:15,080
Speaker 1: do it, because I believe he might be the best

144
00:06:15,160 --> 00:06:18,200
Speaker 1: pure safety that we see in terms of new school

145
00:06:18,200 --> 00:06:20,160
Speaker 1: safeties that can play in the slide, that can play

146
00:06:20,200 --> 00:06:22,599
Speaker 1: out wide. He had an opportunity to play a variety

147
00:06:22,600 --> 00:06:25,440
Speaker 1: of different positions. We saw him cover on the outside,

148
00:06:25,440 --> 00:06:27,560
Speaker 1: we saw him play the deep had we saw him

149
00:06:27,600 --> 00:06:30,920
Speaker 1: come down and hit. He's a natural and Alabama has

150
00:06:30,920 --> 00:06:32,920
Speaker 1: really become a football factor when he comes to producing

151
00:06:32,960 --> 00:06:35,520
Speaker 1: all position, but particularly in the defensive factor. He got

152
00:06:35,839 --> 00:06:38,160
Speaker 1: he gave up a touchdown. He was in perfect position.

153
00:06:38,200 --> 00:06:40,280
Speaker 1: Add Tap is the guy we've talked about before when

154
00:06:40,320 --> 00:06:41,960
Speaker 1: I went on my little trip down there to Florida State.

155
00:06:42,000 --> 00:06:44,320
Speaker 1: He is. It looks like Mike Evans. I mean, he's

156
00:06:44,360 --> 00:06:46,839
Speaker 1: a huge, big, physical dude, not all that separation, but

157
00:06:46,880 --> 00:06:48,520
Speaker 1: he can make some of those contested catches. I think

158
00:06:48,560 --> 00:06:50,840
Speaker 1: he only had two catches in the game, but Fitzpatrick

159
00:06:50,920 --> 00:06:52,680
Speaker 1: was in perfect position on that one. Was really in

160
00:06:52,760 --> 00:06:55,320
Speaker 1: perfect position throughout the game. And I'm with you, Buck,

161
00:06:55,320 --> 00:06:57,240
Speaker 1: I think he's one of the more versatile, more explosive

162
00:06:57,279 --> 00:06:59,320
Speaker 1: guys in the country. However, the guy on the other

163
00:06:59,320 --> 00:07:02,479
Speaker 1: side during James everything that were just fine, healthy. He

164
00:07:02,520 --> 00:07:06,240
Speaker 1: said about everything that we talked about, everything um that

165
00:07:06,360 --> 00:07:08,919
Speaker 1: we've talked about physically in terms of being able to

166
00:07:08,960 --> 00:07:11,080
Speaker 1: play the position, and I know, I got damned it

167
00:07:11,120 --> 00:07:13,360
Speaker 1: was funny. Um. Earlier year, I did a little thing

168
00:07:13,440 --> 00:07:16,000
Speaker 1: where I was three works guting report on a handful

169
00:07:16,040 --> 00:07:18,360
Speaker 1: of college guys and I kind of compared him to

170
00:07:18,440 --> 00:07:21,400
Speaker 1: Camp Chance and I got automatically back, no, no, no, no, no.

171
00:07:21,880 --> 00:07:23,960
Speaker 1: I think you need to talk about Sean Taylor. But

172
00:07:23,960 --> 00:07:27,360
Speaker 1: I kind of I kind of keep that that's sacred

173
00:07:27,360 --> 00:07:29,720
Speaker 1: ground for me when you talk about our prospect. But

174
00:07:29,800 --> 00:07:32,080
Speaker 1: Derwin James ability to do a lot of different things

175
00:07:32,120 --> 00:07:35,160
Speaker 1: and to bring the thump as an edge player, as

176
00:07:35,160 --> 00:07:37,360
Speaker 1: a guy that can be the middle of the field enforcers,

177
00:07:37,440 --> 00:07:39,200
Speaker 1: someone that can drop down and play maybe one of

178
00:07:39,240 --> 00:07:42,520
Speaker 1: those quasi linebackers. He's intriguing, and I think as the

179
00:07:42,600 --> 00:07:45,280
Speaker 1: league continues to evolve, UM, I think there's a good

180
00:07:45,360 --> 00:07:47,000
Speaker 1: chance that this guy is not only gonna be viewed

181
00:07:47,040 --> 00:07:49,160
Speaker 1: as a top prospect, but he's gonna come off the

182
00:07:49,200 --> 00:07:51,600
Speaker 1: board whenever he comes out, he's gonna come off really early.

183
00:07:51,720 --> 00:07:54,080
Speaker 1: He's a big time blitzer man. He's explosive coming off

184
00:07:54,080 --> 00:07:55,880
Speaker 1: the edge. I was glad to see Calvin Ridley finally

185
00:07:55,880 --> 00:07:58,840
Speaker 1: getting back involved vertical. I felt last year was underutilized

186
00:07:58,840 --> 00:08:00,720
Speaker 1: down the field and and they got a deep shot

187
00:08:00,720 --> 00:08:02,520
Speaker 1: with him in this game. Took a couple of shots

188
00:08:02,520 --> 00:08:04,760
Speaker 1: down the field on the field we always talked about

189
00:08:04,840 --> 00:08:06,880
Speaker 1: on a field full of fast players who looks fast,

190
00:08:07,280 --> 00:08:10,400
Speaker 1: and Calvin really like the fastest dude on the field. Smooth, fluid,

191
00:08:10,640 --> 00:08:13,600
Speaker 1: very explosive, out standing Roberner dad. I still believe they

192
00:08:13,640 --> 00:08:15,480
Speaker 1: could feed him the ball a little more in the

193
00:08:15,480 --> 00:08:16,960
Speaker 1: past game, but I think a lot of it depends

194
00:08:17,000 --> 00:08:20,520
Speaker 1: on your quarterback and what your quarterback is most comfortable doing. Uh.

195
00:08:20,520 --> 00:08:22,520
Speaker 1: With Calvin really his ability to get down the field

196
00:08:22,520 --> 00:08:24,920
Speaker 1: the way he ran by the coverage. Uh, it's a

197
00:08:24,960 --> 00:08:27,000
Speaker 1: big game because that's the game where we're saying, this

198
00:08:27,040 --> 00:08:30,120
Speaker 1: is a game full of pro prospects on both sides

199
00:08:30,120 --> 00:08:31,880
Speaker 1: of the ball. You want to make sure that the

200
00:08:31,920 --> 00:08:34,000
Speaker 1: top dudes look like the top dudes, and for the

201
00:08:34,040 --> 00:08:36,280
Speaker 1: most war, we can go down to checklist all the

202
00:08:36,360 --> 00:08:39,760
Speaker 1: dudes that are rated highly, played very very well. And

203
00:08:39,960 --> 00:08:42,440
Speaker 1: the bummer of this this whole game, though, was Jandre

204
00:08:42,600 --> 00:08:46,840
Speaker 1: Francois being lost brutal and got a chance to visit

205
00:08:46,840 --> 00:08:49,280
Speaker 1: with him. He's a great kid. He is physically put together,

206
00:08:49,320 --> 00:08:51,040
Speaker 1: and he's you knew he's tough based on the beating

207
00:08:51,040 --> 00:08:53,040
Speaker 1: he took last year. Got hit a little bit in

208
00:08:53,120 --> 00:08:55,400
Speaker 1: this game. I actually thought until the end of the

209
00:08:55,440 --> 00:08:57,120
Speaker 1: third quarter, and that's where he kind of got into

210
00:08:57,160 --> 00:09:00,000
Speaker 1: some trouble. But really, for two and a half plus quarters,

211
00:09:00,000 --> 00:09:01,600
Speaker 1: I thought he hung in there and played really really

212
00:09:01,600 --> 00:09:04,480
Speaker 1: well against an outstanding defense. Well I think so. I mean,

213
00:09:04,520 --> 00:09:07,280
Speaker 1: I think the kid has a has an outstanding future

214
00:09:07,360 --> 00:09:10,640
Speaker 1: as a quarterback. I think his timing, anticipation, the toughness

215
00:09:10,720 --> 00:09:14,600
Speaker 1: really stands out to me. And he's not a runaround quarterback.

216
00:09:14,600 --> 00:09:16,800
Speaker 1: He is someone that does his damage from the pocket.

217
00:09:17,440 --> 00:09:19,640
Speaker 1: It was heartbreaking to see him get hurt, but I'm

218
00:09:19,640 --> 00:09:22,240
Speaker 1: excited to see what Jimbo Fisher does with some of

219
00:09:22,240 --> 00:09:24,600
Speaker 1: the other guys. How they continue to evolve this offense

220
00:09:24,640 --> 00:09:26,719
Speaker 1: because they have a ton of weapons. We saw the

221
00:09:26,760 --> 00:09:29,240
Speaker 1: freshman running back camp Acres getting the mix a little bit.

222
00:09:29,600 --> 00:09:31,440
Speaker 1: They have to figure out a way to Winston games

223
00:09:32,240 --> 00:09:34,959
Speaker 1: just won't be the same kind of contended that they

224
00:09:34,960 --> 00:09:38,320
Speaker 1: were with Francois. James Blackman is going to take over

225
00:09:38,360 --> 00:09:40,040
Speaker 1: for him as a true freshman who when I went

226
00:09:40,080 --> 00:09:42,360
Speaker 1: down there, he is a tall, skinny He looks kind

227
00:09:42,360 --> 00:09:44,720
Speaker 1: of a little bit like Dennis Dennis Dixon, who we

228
00:09:44,720 --> 00:09:46,640
Speaker 1: were just talking about off the air, but he's he's

229
00:09:46,679 --> 00:09:49,120
Speaker 1: got something to him. And Jimbo actually when I have

230
00:09:49,160 --> 00:09:50,959
Speaker 1: his way to point him out to me and said, hey,

231
00:09:50,960 --> 00:09:52,760
Speaker 1: this kid's got a big time future. He throws a

232
00:09:52,760 --> 00:09:55,080
Speaker 1: beautiful ball. He's a really smooth athlete. And again I

233
00:09:55,080 --> 00:09:58,480
Speaker 1: think you're you're hoping he's a better throwing Dennis Dixon. Yeah,

234
00:09:58,640 --> 00:10:00,400
Speaker 1: I mean you you want to find way to use

235
00:10:00,440 --> 00:10:03,160
Speaker 1: them because they have weapons, they have players that can

236
00:10:03,200 --> 00:10:04,640
Speaker 1: make plays on the offense side of the ball. But

237
00:10:04,640 --> 00:10:06,960
Speaker 1: they're gonna have to lean heavily on that on that defense,

238
00:10:07,040 --> 00:10:10,080
Speaker 1: Derwin James, Josh Wet, some of those other guys, uh

239
00:10:10,280 --> 00:10:12,880
Speaker 1: nandi In on the inside, Nandy on the inside. They're

240
00:10:12,880 --> 00:10:14,599
Speaker 1: gonna have to continue to lean on those guys to

241
00:10:14,679 --> 00:10:17,319
Speaker 1: really create opportunities for their offense. Like they didn't run

242
00:10:17,360 --> 00:10:18,920
Speaker 1: the ball very well on that game, but I thought

243
00:10:18,960 --> 00:10:21,080
Speaker 1: overall their offensive line was better than people gave them

244
00:10:21,080 --> 00:10:23,120
Speaker 1: credit for. I that was my concern with them coming

245
00:10:23,160 --> 00:10:24,960
Speaker 1: into that game. But that game was lost on special

246
00:10:24,960 --> 00:10:26,960
Speaker 1: teams really, and that's what it comes down to and

247
00:10:26,960 --> 00:10:28,920
Speaker 1: and going back to special teams. And this is the

248
00:10:28,920 --> 00:10:31,719
Speaker 1: thing that scouts have to love. Alabama uses a lot

249
00:10:31,720 --> 00:10:34,760
Speaker 1: of their starters all special teams. Riley was down there

250
00:10:34,800 --> 00:10:36,840
Speaker 1: covering a kick, you know. And when you have an

251
00:10:36,840 --> 00:10:39,160
Speaker 1: opportunity to scout them, and then you you pop on

252
00:10:39,160 --> 00:10:41,640
Speaker 1: the tape and look at their their special teams, you

253
00:10:41,640 --> 00:10:43,400
Speaker 1: get an opportunity to see some of those guys. Look

254
00:10:43,520 --> 00:10:45,800
Speaker 1: primarily your first round picks won't do a lot on

255
00:10:45,840 --> 00:10:48,840
Speaker 1: special teams, but some of those other guys, second, third rounders,

256
00:10:48,840 --> 00:10:51,120
Speaker 1: those late rounders, you get an opportunity when you look

257
00:10:51,160 --> 00:10:53,560
Speaker 1: at Alabama tape to see what those guys can do.

258
00:10:53,960 --> 00:10:56,360
Speaker 1: It just makes the evaluation so much easier and so

259
00:10:56,480 --> 00:11:00,400
Speaker 1: much um it makes it a very complete evalus because

260
00:11:00,400 --> 00:11:02,200
Speaker 1: no guesswork, no guess work, you can see all those

261
00:11:02,200 --> 00:11:03,840
Speaker 1: guys see it phase. You see it all out there.

262
00:11:03,840 --> 00:11:05,040
Speaker 1: I don't know how much you got to see if

263
00:11:05,120 --> 00:11:07,040
Speaker 1: USC Western Michigan you see any of it. But I

264
00:11:07,080 --> 00:11:09,400
Speaker 1: didn't got a chance to see the replay. Um. You know,

265
00:11:09,440 --> 00:11:11,240
Speaker 1: and I know you're excited about you guys Ronald Jones

266
00:11:11,240 --> 00:11:13,200
Speaker 1: having a big game, but for that game, for most

267
00:11:13,200 --> 00:11:14,800
Speaker 1: of the game, that was a that was a It

268
00:11:14,880 --> 00:11:17,559
Speaker 1: was game going into the fourth quarter. It's tough game

269
00:11:17,600 --> 00:11:19,920
Speaker 1: for them. It was back and forth. Western Michigan certainly

270
00:11:19,960 --> 00:11:21,720
Speaker 1: came out here with something on in mind. They played

271
00:11:21,840 --> 00:11:24,760
Speaker 1: very well. They made it kind of messy for sc

272
00:11:24,920 --> 00:11:27,240
Speaker 1: But Ronald Jones had a big game hundred nine yards,

273
00:11:27,320 --> 00:11:30,360
Speaker 1: three touchdowns. Freshman running back Stephen Carter had a nice

274
00:11:30,400 --> 00:11:32,480
Speaker 1: fifth year old. Yeah, there was a big run. There

275
00:11:32,520 --> 00:11:33,880
Speaker 1: was a big run from them. Then they got some

276
00:11:33,880 --> 00:11:35,679
Speaker 1: of the freshman wide receivers in the mix. They need

277
00:11:35,720 --> 00:11:37,439
Speaker 1: to get him more in the mix. I went back

278
00:11:37,480 --> 00:11:39,000
Speaker 1: and watch the tape because I wanted to see it.

279
00:11:39,080 --> 00:11:40,559
Speaker 1: I saw a little bit of the game on Saturday,

280
00:11:40,600 --> 00:11:42,880
Speaker 1: but I went back and watched the coaches tape. A

281
00:11:42,960 --> 00:11:45,040
Speaker 1: couple of couple of things that took away from it.

282
00:11:45,160 --> 00:11:47,800
Speaker 1: They've got a freshman Tyler Vaughan. So you've been telling

283
00:11:47,800 --> 00:11:51,680
Speaker 1: me about who's a tall baseball background. He is a

284
00:11:51,800 --> 00:11:55,440
Speaker 1: smooth He had one drop early in the game. But uh,

285
00:11:55,640 --> 00:11:58,120
Speaker 1: I think he's already one of their best route runners.

286
00:11:58,120 --> 00:12:00,000
Speaker 1: He needs to play more. They've got a couple older

287
00:12:00,040 --> 00:12:02,080
Speaker 1: guys that they're playing on the outside because they trust them.

288
00:12:02,080 --> 00:12:03,480
Speaker 1: But they've got to get him on the field because

289
00:12:03,480 --> 00:12:05,720
Speaker 1: those other guys couldn't really separate or do anything. It's

290
00:12:05,760 --> 00:12:08,840
Speaker 1: basically beyond Tapernette by himself. They get the tight end

291
00:12:09,120 --> 00:12:11,640
Speaker 1: and matter baby back healthy. He was, he was on

292
00:12:11,679 --> 00:12:14,760
Speaker 1: the field, but wasn't really the same guy. Um. The

293
00:12:14,880 --> 00:12:18,280
Speaker 1: interesting thing was the the kind of the takeaway. And

294
00:12:18,280 --> 00:12:20,360
Speaker 1: I think a lot of people even just are following

295
00:12:20,400 --> 00:12:22,439
Speaker 1: games on Twitter and you see Sam Donald through two

296
00:12:22,440 --> 00:12:25,400
Speaker 1: interceptions and people, man, they were jumping off the they

297
00:12:25,400 --> 00:12:28,240
Speaker 1: were jumping off the bandwagon. Week one buck. I went

298
00:12:28,240 --> 00:12:30,760
Speaker 1: back and watched it so funny, So let me hold up,

299
00:12:30,800 --> 00:12:32,640
Speaker 1: let me let me pull up exactly where he was

300
00:12:32,679 --> 00:12:36,320
Speaker 1: here he was because it was it was hilarious because

301
00:12:36,360 --> 00:12:38,040
Speaker 1: I watched it, and I'm like, man, I thought he

302
00:12:38,280 --> 00:12:40,480
Speaker 1: I thought everybody was talking about he was terrible in

303
00:12:40,520 --> 00:12:43,440
Speaker 1: this game because he had two interceptions, no touchdowns, had

304
00:12:43,480 --> 00:12:48,080
Speaker 1: a rushing touchdown. Um, but okay, he was. So he's

305
00:12:48,280 --> 00:12:52,520
Speaker 1: twenty three of thirty three for two eight nine, no touchdowns,

306
00:12:52,520 --> 00:12:54,120
Speaker 1: two picks. So I go back and watch it, and

307
00:12:54,120 --> 00:12:56,520
Speaker 1: I think Clay Helton even references in his press conference

308
00:12:57,000 --> 00:13:00,320
Speaker 1: like four or five drop passes, so he have been

309
00:13:00,400 --> 00:13:03,520
Speaker 1: like for thirty three for three d plus yards and

310
00:13:03,559 --> 00:13:07,559
Speaker 1: nobody's even saying nothing and interceptions. One down the sideline,

311
00:13:07,600 --> 00:13:09,120
Speaker 1: he kind of gives a receiver a chance for a

312
00:13:09,160 --> 00:13:11,520
Speaker 1: fifty fifty ball in the dB, just man handles him

313
00:13:11,520 --> 00:13:13,559
Speaker 1: takes it from him. The other one, he's trying to

314
00:13:13,640 --> 00:13:15,400
Speaker 1: jam the ball in over the medal, which probably wasn't

315
00:13:15,400 --> 00:13:18,120
Speaker 1: a great decision. Ball pops up and gets picked. But

316
00:13:18,200 --> 00:13:20,520
Speaker 1: when I went back and watched it, Bucky the same

317
00:13:20,559 --> 00:13:24,280
Speaker 1: things that I liked about him before the throwing with anticipation.

318
00:13:25,040 --> 00:13:29,600
Speaker 1: He was fantastic, moving within the pocket, outstanding like he's fine.

319
00:13:29,679 --> 00:13:31,840
Speaker 1: People that that saw a box score saw a couple

320
00:13:31,880 --> 00:13:35,400
Speaker 1: interceptions that they don't worry about it. I think the

321
00:13:35,400 --> 00:13:38,480
Speaker 1: big thing when we talk about the quarterbacks and what's

322
00:13:38,480 --> 00:13:40,960
Speaker 1: going to be the biggest takeaway over the biggest issue

323
00:13:41,000 --> 00:13:43,880
Speaker 1: throughout the fall is everyone wants to kind of hit

324
00:13:44,000 --> 00:13:46,000
Speaker 1: their wagon to a quarterback early so they can say

325
00:13:46,040 --> 00:13:48,600
Speaker 1: they were the first one to be on it. But

326
00:13:48,640 --> 00:13:51,480
Speaker 1: I think you know any of these guys, Yeah, I

327
00:13:51,520 --> 00:13:54,679
Speaker 1: think I think at the end it's going to come

328
00:13:54,720 --> 00:13:57,440
Speaker 1: down to two quarterbacks being in the battle for numb one.

329
00:13:57,440 --> 00:13:59,880
Speaker 1: I think it'd be Josh Rosen and Sam Donald and

330
00:14:00,679 --> 00:14:03,880
Speaker 1: Josh Allen, to me, is an outstanding athlete. He has

331
00:14:03,920 --> 00:14:06,120
Speaker 1: all the trade, but I think he's a notch below

332
00:14:06,200 --> 00:14:08,440
Speaker 1: those guys players. I felt like that coming into the season.

333
00:14:08,520 --> 00:14:09,880
Speaker 1: I think it will continue to be. Did you get

334
00:14:09,880 --> 00:14:11,160
Speaker 1: to see any that By the way, I didn't see

335
00:14:11,160 --> 00:14:13,360
Speaker 1: any of that game, missing pieces of it, but I

336
00:14:13,400 --> 00:14:15,080
Speaker 1: called a couple of scouts that were going through there

337
00:14:15,080 --> 00:14:17,160
Speaker 1: and they said, look, man, the guy got beat up.

338
00:14:17,400 --> 00:14:19,840
Speaker 1: Um his guys can't separate. But he continues to be

339
00:14:19,880 --> 00:14:21,840
Speaker 1: the quarterback that he has been. He's a high risk,

340
00:14:21,920 --> 00:14:24,560
Speaker 1: high reward player, and in those big games it doesn't

341
00:14:24,600 --> 00:14:28,200
Speaker 1: necessarily work out well because he's playing kind of handicapped shorthanded.

342
00:14:28,240 --> 00:14:31,160
Speaker 1: With the players that he has around him, there's some intrigue.

343
00:14:31,200 --> 00:14:34,520
Speaker 1: But much like we saw with Pat Mahomes, who we

344
00:14:34,640 --> 00:14:38,160
Speaker 1: both felt like probably needed some time, I think with

345
00:14:39,040 --> 00:14:42,240
Speaker 1: Alan it is more the potential than the production, the

346
00:14:42,280 --> 00:14:44,360
Speaker 1: potential than the performance on the field that is going

347
00:14:44,400 --> 00:14:46,760
Speaker 1: to make him a first round pick. But the other guys,

348
00:14:46,840 --> 00:14:50,160
Speaker 1: Donald and Rosen, I think those guys are legitimate franchise

349
00:14:50,240 --> 00:14:53,320
Speaker 1: quarterbacks that when you take them, you're taking them with

350
00:14:53,400 --> 00:14:56,360
Speaker 1: the intent of putting them on the field. Year one

351
00:14:56,680 --> 00:14:58,480
Speaker 1: and you're gonna find a way to build around those

352
00:14:58,480 --> 00:15:00,960
Speaker 1: guys and have success. All speaking of Rods, and let's

353
00:15:01,040 --> 00:15:02,720
Speaker 1: jump right to that game. I mean, let me just

354
00:15:02,880 --> 00:15:05,240
Speaker 1: give you what was going on in my house with this. Okay,

355
00:15:05,280 --> 00:15:07,680
Speaker 1: we're in between houses right now, staying staying my in laws,

356
00:15:08,120 --> 00:15:10,080
Speaker 1: and so I'm watching this U c l A game

357
00:15:10,280 --> 00:15:13,000
Speaker 1: and my I'm there with the kids kind of running around,

358
00:15:13,000 --> 00:15:15,480
Speaker 1: and it gets to the point it's forty four to ten.

359
00:15:17,120 --> 00:15:20,360
Speaker 1: No. No No, So then it gets forty four seventeen, and

360
00:15:20,640 --> 00:15:22,000
Speaker 1: I told my son he was gonna go spend the

361
00:15:22,080 --> 00:15:23,680
Speaker 1: night at his buddy's house, which is kind of it's

362
00:15:23,720 --> 00:15:26,800
Speaker 1: across town, so maybe twenty five minute drive. And I

363
00:15:26,840 --> 00:15:28,440
Speaker 1: was like, I was, you know, I told him, just

364
00:15:28,440 --> 00:15:29,960
Speaker 1: wait when the game's over, I'm gonna drive you to

365
00:15:30,000 --> 00:15:33,200
Speaker 1: your buddy's house. Seventeen I said, I got satellite radio,

366
00:15:33,200 --> 00:15:34,600
Speaker 1: will listen to it in the car. This is over,

367
00:15:34,680 --> 00:15:36,120
Speaker 1: We'll just get in the car. So we get in

368
00:15:36,120 --> 00:15:37,600
Speaker 1: the car, and by the time we got to the

369
00:15:37,640 --> 00:15:39,240
Speaker 1: friend's house, it was about it. It It was like a

370
00:15:39,240 --> 00:15:42,680
Speaker 1: two score game. Drop him off, get back in, and

371
00:15:42,720 --> 00:15:44,600
Speaker 1: I'm just listening to this thing. And so I heard

372
00:15:44,640 --> 00:15:46,520
Speaker 1: the whole the whole rest of the game in the

373
00:15:46,520 --> 00:15:48,680
Speaker 1: car coming, I'm just like, this is the most unbelievable

374
00:15:48,680 --> 00:15:50,640
Speaker 1: thing I've ever heard, and the announcers it was a

375
00:15:50,720 --> 00:15:54,880
Speaker 1: national broadcast, so it was like interesting, No, no, it's touchdown,

376
00:15:55,120 --> 00:15:57,440
Speaker 1: and then another one. Oh it's almost intercept. No, no,

377
00:15:57,520 --> 00:16:00,320
Speaker 1: it was this. It was a trip man, and everything

378
00:16:00,400 --> 00:16:03,120
Speaker 1: kind of lined up in Rosen his credit. I went

379
00:16:03,160 --> 00:16:05,440
Speaker 1: back and watched it, you know, rewounded and just watched

380
00:16:05,520 --> 00:16:07,520
Speaker 1: it on TV. I mean, we can talk about the

381
00:16:07,560 --> 00:16:09,440
Speaker 1: last drive on a second, but there's some big boy

382
00:16:09,480 --> 00:16:13,040
Speaker 1: throwers in there. Well, well that's the thing. And you know,

383
00:16:13,120 --> 00:16:16,960
Speaker 1: it's funny because I believe anyone that is really watching

384
00:16:17,320 --> 00:16:19,680
Speaker 1: the quarterbacks and really evaluate him, I think you have

385
00:16:19,840 --> 00:16:23,960
Speaker 1: to have those guys one and two, whatever, whatever your

386
00:16:24,000 --> 00:16:26,360
Speaker 1: preferences have, you do it because when you look at

387
00:16:26,360 --> 00:16:28,640
Speaker 1: the way that they play, they play like pros. And

388
00:16:28,680 --> 00:16:31,480
Speaker 1: so for Josh Rosen, I was actually excited to see

389
00:16:31,560 --> 00:16:36,440
Speaker 1: him face a level diversity because the big thing had been, oh,

390
00:16:36,480 --> 00:16:40,920
Speaker 1: he doesn't care enough, doesn't he doesn't selfish, selfish, whatever.

391
00:16:40,960 --> 00:16:42,560
Speaker 1: So I was like, Okay, this is a great opportunity.

392
00:16:42,640 --> 00:16:44,240
Speaker 1: Last thirty minutes. Let's see if he can get them

393
00:16:44,240 --> 00:16:45,840
Speaker 1: to play. Let's see if you can give them a chance.

394
00:16:46,160 --> 00:16:48,560
Speaker 1: Let's just see if he can make them compete. And

395
00:16:48,680 --> 00:16:50,440
Speaker 1: he was getting stroked in the first I mean he

396
00:16:50,480 --> 00:16:55,040
Speaker 1: was getting drilled twice, crushed, crushed, And in the second half,

397
00:16:55,080 --> 00:16:57,840
Speaker 1: I saw him finder rhythm and the thing about the

398
00:16:57,840 --> 00:16:59,400
Speaker 1: throws that he was making. He was making throws over

399
00:16:59,440 --> 00:17:01,960
Speaker 1: the middle of few, timing anticipation to the tide and

400
00:17:02,040 --> 00:17:05,960
Speaker 1: hitting the windows, throwing between multiple defenders, letting the ball

401
00:17:06,000 --> 00:17:08,320
Speaker 1: go before the receivers out the break. And then in

402
00:17:08,359 --> 00:17:10,840
Speaker 1: the fourth quarter when they needed him to come back,

403
00:17:10,840 --> 00:17:13,080
Speaker 1: and we saw him execute a two minute drive with

404
00:17:13,160 --> 00:17:14,680
Speaker 1: the game is on the line, which we talked about

405
00:17:14,760 --> 00:17:17,520
Speaker 1: you want to see how quarterbacks performing the clutch. He

406
00:17:17,600 --> 00:17:20,800
Speaker 1: checked off a lot of the boxes. Now Twitter Verse

407
00:17:21,160 --> 00:17:23,240
Speaker 1: he's like, yeah, but he got away with those two throws. Yeah,

408
00:17:23,240 --> 00:17:28,160
Speaker 1: he did, and we're downgrading for those things. But there's

409
00:17:28,200 --> 00:17:31,399
Speaker 1: something about like really good quarterbacks, at some point in

410
00:17:31,440 --> 00:17:33,520
Speaker 1: a game where they're back, they're gonna take some high

411
00:17:33,560 --> 00:17:35,840
Speaker 1: risk throws because they're either gonna go down with the

412
00:17:35,840 --> 00:17:37,600
Speaker 1: ships singing or they're gonna try and find a way

413
00:17:37,640 --> 00:17:39,159
Speaker 1: to win them back. So, yes, they got away with that,

414
00:17:39,200 --> 00:17:41,760
Speaker 1: but I felt like there were a number of throws

415
00:17:41,840 --> 00:17:44,639
Speaker 1: that were outside of those two that should have been intercepted.

416
00:17:44,800 --> 00:17:46,720
Speaker 1: They kind of confirmed that, you know what, this dude

417
00:17:46,800 --> 00:17:48,560
Speaker 1: is an A plus pass in terms of how he

418
00:17:48,560 --> 00:17:51,159
Speaker 1: operates from the pocket. Yeah, he look, he's. I've said it,

419
00:17:51,200 --> 00:17:53,040
Speaker 1: he's and I think Joel even said it. We talked

420
00:17:53,040 --> 00:17:56,080
Speaker 1: to Joe Klatt last week. He's the best pure pastor.

421
00:17:56,119 --> 00:17:58,480
Speaker 1: If you want to talk about his footwork, release, velocity,

422
00:17:58,560 --> 00:18:02,760
Speaker 1: most natural, It's beautiful, is absolutely beautiful. Here's my my thing.

423
00:18:02,800 --> 00:18:07,679
Speaker 1: A couple couple of points on him, Um number one. Um,

424
00:18:07,800 --> 00:18:09,240
Speaker 1: he needs to speed up his clock a little bit.

425
00:18:09,400 --> 00:18:11,080
Speaker 1: Some of those sacks, some of those sacks he got,

426
00:18:11,560 --> 00:18:14,119
Speaker 1: he's gotta help. He's gotta help cover up some of

427
00:18:14,119 --> 00:18:16,159
Speaker 1: those errors up front. That's one thing he needs to

428
00:18:16,200 --> 00:18:17,920
Speaker 1: work on. And I thought even just some of the

429
00:18:17,960 --> 00:18:20,240
Speaker 1: management stuff on that last drive. You have a delay,

430
00:18:20,280 --> 00:18:22,440
Speaker 1: a game penalty. You don't let your guys get set.

431
00:18:22,480 --> 00:18:24,440
Speaker 1: You got another penalty for legal motions. Just some of

432
00:18:24,480 --> 00:18:26,679
Speaker 1: those little things you know that you already touched on

433
00:18:26,720 --> 00:18:28,920
Speaker 1: the balls that could have been picked off. So there's

434
00:18:28,920 --> 00:18:31,160
Speaker 1: stuff he can work on. But when I look at it, Bucky.

435
00:18:31,200 --> 00:18:35,520
Speaker 1: I'm sitting here going okay again, no run game pass

436
00:18:35,560 --> 00:18:38,600
Speaker 1: protection is an issue, and truthfully, I mean the tight

437
00:18:38,680 --> 00:18:40,240
Speaker 1: end who had over two hundred yards. I think it

438
00:18:40,320 --> 00:18:42,320
Speaker 1: was unbelievable game for him. People forget he was a

439
00:18:42,359 --> 00:18:46,000
Speaker 1: walk on at USC Chris Wilson was the the line coach. Now,

440
00:18:46,520 --> 00:18:48,440
Speaker 1: I will say this because we played against him in

441
00:18:48,520 --> 00:18:50,359
Speaker 1: high school. He was a guy who was a quarterback

442
00:18:50,440 --> 00:18:52,280
Speaker 1: for the most part. He was at Sarah High School.

443
00:18:52,480 --> 00:18:54,280
Speaker 1: Is that Sarah High School with a bunch of other

444
00:18:54,280 --> 00:18:56,720
Speaker 1: guys I want to say he played. He was with

445
00:18:56,720 --> 00:18:59,080
Speaker 1: the Dorry Jackson. And here's what the Dorry Jackson I

446
00:18:59,119 --> 00:19:01,520
Speaker 1: was trying to figure who was the clil Tate. Clilet

447
00:19:01,720 --> 00:19:03,800
Speaker 1: was a quarterback that he was alterating with. Clilte who

448
00:19:03,880 --> 00:19:06,320
Speaker 1: was at Arizona now took over the job and he

449
00:19:06,400 --> 00:19:08,000
Speaker 1: moved at the end of the year to tie end.

450
00:19:08,000 --> 00:19:09,920
Speaker 1: So he's still learning the position. When the sc his

451
00:19:10,000 --> 00:19:13,399
Speaker 1: dad leaves, goes to Philadelphia, he walks on over at

452
00:19:13,520 --> 00:19:16,040
Speaker 1: U c. L A. And we're beginning to see him

453
00:19:16,080 --> 00:19:18,359
Speaker 1: kind of coming to his own at the time of

454
00:19:18,359 --> 00:19:20,320
Speaker 1: position because the routes and stuff that he was running

455
00:19:20,320 --> 00:19:23,239
Speaker 1: over the middlefield, those are pro style routes, and I

456
00:19:23,280 --> 00:19:25,919
Speaker 1: felt like he became Josh Rosen's security blanket because the

457
00:19:25,920 --> 00:19:28,200
Speaker 1: rest of the guys they couldn't separate, They couldn't separate

458
00:19:28,200 --> 00:19:30,960
Speaker 1: from coverage on the outside. Finally, when Texas and them

459
00:19:31,040 --> 00:19:33,639
Speaker 1: wore down, that's when they were able to win. But

460
00:19:33,720 --> 00:19:37,000
Speaker 1: I think the performance says a lot about Josh Rosen

461
00:19:37,119 --> 00:19:39,119
Speaker 1: being able to kind of I want to say he

462
00:19:39,200 --> 00:19:41,040
Speaker 1: kind of pulled them along. But we talked about trucks

463
00:19:41,040 --> 00:19:43,680
Speaker 1: and trailers at the collegiate level. There's no doubt that

464
00:19:43,720 --> 00:19:46,000
Speaker 1: he's a truck because he is pulling U. C. L A.

465
00:19:46,000 --> 00:19:48,640
Speaker 1: And he's going to pull them wherever they end up

466
00:19:48,680 --> 00:19:50,320
Speaker 1: at the end of the season, because it's going to

467
00:19:50,359 --> 00:19:53,160
Speaker 1: be a one man show, very similar to the way

468
00:19:53,160 --> 00:19:55,160
Speaker 1: that Matthew Stafford had to do some of the things

469
00:19:55,160 --> 00:19:58,600
Speaker 1: that Georgia when he was playing. Here's the deal they

470
00:19:58,880 --> 00:20:02,920
Speaker 1: carries for sixte yards. If they don't find a running game,

471
00:20:03,200 --> 00:20:05,439
Speaker 1: he's not gonna make it to the whole season. Now

472
00:20:05,440 --> 00:20:07,800
Speaker 1: he's gonna get beat up, he's gonna get crushed. He's

473
00:20:08,119 --> 00:20:10,120
Speaker 1: gonna beat because he was getting crushed early in the game.

474
00:20:10,200 --> 00:20:14,119
Speaker 1: Through the ball fifty nine times ran Obviously they're chasing points,

475
00:20:14,119 --> 00:20:15,800
Speaker 1: so they wanted to throw it. But they've got to

476
00:20:15,800 --> 00:20:19,119
Speaker 1: become more balanced and help that kids survive because without him,

477
00:20:19,280 --> 00:20:21,000
Speaker 1: we saw last year what that team looks. They have

478
00:20:21,040 --> 00:20:22,800
Speaker 1: no they have no chance. They have no chance. He

479
00:20:23,119 --> 00:20:25,080
Speaker 1: did everything. They have to find a way to have

480
00:20:25,160 --> 00:20:27,840
Speaker 1: better balance. But I think what it did do is

481
00:20:27,920 --> 00:20:30,840
Speaker 1: it kind of opened up the conversation again because so

482
00:20:30,880 --> 00:20:32,520
Speaker 1: many people that pooh pooed him. He's a bad guy.

483
00:20:32,560 --> 00:20:34,200
Speaker 1: He's just in that. I think you have to look

484
00:20:34,240 --> 00:20:36,000
Speaker 1: at him every here. He's not gonna be the fifth

485
00:20:36,000 --> 00:20:38,080
Speaker 1: for everybody, but I certainly believe he has to be.

486
00:20:38,119 --> 00:20:40,879
Speaker 1: In that conversation, he and Sam Donald to me our

487
00:20:40,960 --> 00:20:43,080
Speaker 1: head and showed is above the rest of the class

488
00:20:43,080 --> 00:20:45,400
Speaker 1: at the position. Yeah, look he that's pretty good. It's

489
00:20:45,440 --> 00:20:47,000
Speaker 1: pretty good open for him, and they're gonna have some

490
00:20:47,040 --> 00:20:49,480
Speaker 1: tough games along the way here, but man, he is.

491
00:20:49,560 --> 00:20:51,840
Speaker 1: He feels such a beautiful ball. It's fun to watch

492
00:20:52,040 --> 00:20:54,119
Speaker 1: Michigan Florida. Be honest with you, Bucket, I did not

493
00:20:54,160 --> 00:20:56,399
Speaker 1: see much of this football. I watched I watched the replace,

494
00:20:56,600 --> 00:20:58,880
Speaker 1: I watched the replay of it. I mean, the main

495
00:20:58,920 --> 00:21:02,280
Speaker 1: thing for Florida for a team that has their pick

496
00:21:02,520 --> 00:21:05,560
Speaker 1: of four and five stars. It's just amazing that offensively

497
00:21:05,560 --> 00:21:08,440
Speaker 1: they just cannot get going. And I know they talked

498
00:21:08,440 --> 00:21:10,679
Speaker 1: about they haven't had a quarterback, and they haven't had

499
00:21:10,680 --> 00:21:13,119
Speaker 1: a quarterback sainst Tim Tebow and on and on. But

500
00:21:13,200 --> 00:21:15,439
Speaker 1: at some point don't we have to point to the

501
00:21:15,440 --> 00:21:18,720
Speaker 1: coaching because the coaches are recruiting who comes. It's it's

502
00:21:18,720 --> 00:21:23,320
Speaker 1: not like it's a program that they can't like. And

503
00:21:23,720 --> 00:21:26,560
Speaker 1: if your quarterbacks can't execute a certain thing, I think

504
00:21:26,560 --> 00:21:29,080
Speaker 1: you probably need you need to have a conversation with

505
00:21:29,160 --> 00:21:31,200
Speaker 1: them to make them more comfortable. So I can't continue

506
00:21:31,240 --> 00:21:33,320
Speaker 1: to give them a pass. But defensively, they have some

507
00:21:33,440 --> 00:21:35,639
Speaker 1: young players, some young athletes that can run around and

508
00:21:35,680 --> 00:21:38,399
Speaker 1: make plays. I'm excited about them. And then Michigan one

509
00:21:38,520 --> 00:21:40,840
Speaker 1: on offense and defense, I mean, they kind of continue

510
00:21:40,840 --> 00:21:42,960
Speaker 1: to play the same way that they played. They line up,

511
00:21:43,000 --> 00:21:44,639
Speaker 1: put you in a phone booth, and they just wham

512
00:21:44,680 --> 00:21:46,240
Speaker 1: it at you over and over and over again, and

513
00:21:46,320 --> 00:21:48,800
Speaker 1: at some point you crack. That is basically what happened

514
00:21:48,800 --> 00:21:51,879
Speaker 1: in this Florida game. Because they couldn't score outside of

515
00:21:51,920 --> 00:21:53,200
Speaker 1: the two pick six, is that they were able to

516
00:21:53,200 --> 00:21:55,600
Speaker 1: get On defense, all right, so the Texas game. I'm

517
00:21:55,600 --> 00:21:59,480
Speaker 1: watching the Texas game against Maryland, and Texas is getting

518
00:21:59,480 --> 00:22:01,159
Speaker 1: war out. I think it was like I think it

519
00:22:01,240 --> 00:22:05,600
Speaker 1: was twenties to seven. Tweeted, Texas is terrible. So I

520
00:22:05,640 --> 00:22:07,760
Speaker 1: tweeted that Texas, this is the point. So I tweet,

521
00:22:07,800 --> 00:22:10,880
Speaker 1: it's twenty eight to seven. This is Maryland. Okay, it's

522
00:22:10,880 --> 00:22:14,000
Speaker 1: twenty eight to seven. Maryland's driving at ease, moving the

523
00:22:14,000 --> 00:22:18,480
Speaker 1: ball at ease. They I picked Texas to win this

524
00:22:18,520 --> 00:22:21,720
Speaker 1: game because I thought Maryland was bad. Anyways, they they're

525
00:22:21,840 --> 00:22:24,320
Speaker 1: driving to kick in their kid line up to kick

526
00:22:24,320 --> 00:22:25,479
Speaker 1: a field goal. So I think at this point it's

527
00:22:25,520 --> 00:22:28,280
Speaker 1: gonna make it like thirty one to seven Texas. I

528
00:22:28,280 --> 00:22:31,879
Speaker 1: already tweet Texas is terrible. Texas blocks, scoop and score.

529
00:22:31,920 --> 00:22:33,920
Speaker 1: So now it's four team so I'm like, whoa, all

530
00:22:33,960 --> 00:22:37,000
Speaker 1: Horns could be back in it. Texas fans coming at me,

531
00:22:37,119 --> 00:22:40,240
Speaker 1: hard Buck, you you're so premature, were terrible this' And

532
00:22:40,359 --> 00:22:41,720
Speaker 1: now how could you say that you don't know what

533
00:22:41,760 --> 00:22:46,200
Speaker 1: you're talking about. So then people at Buddies of mine

534
00:22:46,400 --> 00:22:49,399
Speaker 1: it's actually somebody with the team. A scout was reading

535
00:22:49,440 --> 00:22:52,399
Speaker 1: these mentions and so he texted me he goes, He goes, hey,

536
00:22:52,440 --> 00:22:54,760
Speaker 1: why don't you remind them your Texas. If you beat

537
00:22:54,800 --> 00:22:57,560
Speaker 1: Maryland and basketball, it's cool. It's not cool if you

538
00:22:57,560 --> 00:23:01,560
Speaker 1: beat him in football. You're struggling with Maryland. Maryland drug

539
00:23:01,640 --> 00:23:03,240
Speaker 1: him up and down the field. They scored fifty one

540
00:23:03,240 --> 00:23:05,960
Speaker 1: points against him. So at the end of the day, then, uh,

541
00:23:06,240 --> 00:23:08,160
Speaker 1: a lot of the same people came out. We're like, well,

542
00:23:08,480 --> 00:23:11,280
Speaker 1: I know Texas lost. You shouldn't have said that that earlier.

543
00:23:11,320 --> 00:23:12,959
Speaker 1: I'm like, I'm just I'm just telling you what. They

544
00:23:13,000 --> 00:23:15,199
Speaker 1: look terrible. What do you want me to say? They

545
00:23:15,200 --> 00:23:19,360
Speaker 1: can't stop anybody fifty points to Maryland last night. Check

546
00:23:19,520 --> 00:23:21,520
Speaker 1: Maryland is a basketball school, right did I did they

547
00:23:21,560 --> 00:23:24,639
Speaker 1: win twelve games last year? And missing some fact, I

548
00:23:24,680 --> 00:23:26,359
Speaker 1: don't know how many games they wanted the Big Ten

549
00:23:26,520 --> 00:23:29,640
Speaker 1: last year? Um, and so the fact that they struggle

550
00:23:29,680 --> 00:23:32,640
Speaker 1: with them is not a good sign. And you're talking

551
00:23:32,640 --> 00:23:34,560
Speaker 1: about a Texas team that's scoring. You have to deal

552
00:23:34,600 --> 00:23:37,280
Speaker 1: with Oklahoma a little later. You have to deal with

553
00:23:37,320 --> 00:23:40,199
Speaker 1: all those other hot powered spread offenses that exist in

554
00:23:40,200 --> 00:23:45,080
Speaker 1: the Big twelve. I mean, no, Tom Herman, Big feel

555
00:23:45,160 --> 00:23:47,359
Speaker 1: like they compete their their first twenty two could compete

556
00:23:47,400 --> 00:23:49,440
Speaker 1: within anybody, I think you want to walk some of

557
00:23:49,480 --> 00:23:53,240
Speaker 1: those statements. Well, how about Charlie Strong when he exited

558
00:23:53,280 --> 00:23:55,240
Speaker 1: stage left saying that whoever gets this job to winning

559
00:23:55,240 --> 00:23:57,000
Speaker 1: ten games? Charlie, I don't think. I don't think they're

560
00:23:57,000 --> 00:23:59,520
Speaker 1: winning ten games in Austin this year. Buddy, Yeah, yeah,

561
00:23:59,560 --> 00:24:01,800
Speaker 1: I don't don't. I don't. I don't think. I don't

562
00:24:01,840 --> 00:24:04,840
Speaker 1: think that's gonna happen. But anyways, look, I'm not I

563
00:24:04,960 --> 00:24:07,760
Speaker 1: wasn't saying anything. I'm not mean spirit. I just say

564
00:24:07,760 --> 00:24:10,040
Speaker 1: they look terrible and then all the Texas fans get

565
00:24:10,080 --> 00:24:14,800
Speaker 1: all mad at me. Anyways, back, you know, here's here's

566
00:24:14,800 --> 00:24:16,600
Speaker 1: the guy that I want to talk about because we

567
00:24:16,680 --> 00:24:21,760
Speaker 1: had like Lamar Jackson, he had the quietest almost five

568
00:24:22,240 --> 00:24:24,800
Speaker 1: scrimmage performance that you're gonna see. And I watched that game.

569
00:24:24,800 --> 00:24:27,000
Speaker 1: I watched him against We're doing. Look, I know there's

570
00:24:27,000 --> 00:24:29,080
Speaker 1: always gonna be a debate about how he fits and

571
00:24:29,080 --> 00:24:31,680
Speaker 1: where he fits as a pro prospect, But to me,

572
00:24:32,480 --> 00:24:35,320
Speaker 1: he is still the most electrifying and dynamic player they

573
00:24:35,359 --> 00:24:37,920
Speaker 1: will see in the college game. His ability to make

574
00:24:38,040 --> 00:24:41,280
Speaker 1: every play as a runner and thrower, uh captivates me

575
00:24:41,320 --> 00:24:43,639
Speaker 1: when I when I watched him, he look, I know

576
00:24:43,720 --> 00:24:45,600
Speaker 1: byby Petrino, he has said that they were gonna try

577
00:24:45,640 --> 00:24:47,200
Speaker 1: and kind of feature him and kind of get him

578
00:24:47,200 --> 00:24:49,320
Speaker 1: ready for the pros, put him under sine more. But

579
00:24:49,560 --> 00:24:52,760
Speaker 1: in that game got a little tight. Hey, Lamar Jackson,

580
00:24:53,040 --> 00:24:56,320
Speaker 1: go do what you've always done. I know, by, I know,

581
00:24:56,359 --> 00:24:59,040
Speaker 1: by the way, because Louisville produed not a sexy matchup.

582
00:24:59,080 --> 00:25:01,840
Speaker 1: But I see now, I know all you're watching that game.

583
00:25:02,200 --> 00:25:04,639
Speaker 1: Oh next week a little scouting gig. Yeah, but it

584
00:25:04,680 --> 00:25:06,840
Speaker 1: doesn't matter. We lost a cow. How do you lose

585
00:25:06,880 --> 00:25:10,040
Speaker 1: the cow? Cal played pretty well and we're not We're not.

586
00:25:10,440 --> 00:25:13,159
Speaker 1: Cal have a quarterback Ross Bowers. He was one of

587
00:25:13,200 --> 00:25:15,040
Speaker 1: the elite eleven guys he do. I mean, he had

588
00:25:15,040 --> 00:25:17,440
Speaker 1: a pretty good game, I guess. So he couldn't stop

589
00:25:17,480 --> 00:25:19,360
Speaker 1: him because and he didn't even throw to his guy

590
00:25:19,480 --> 00:25:21,959
Speaker 1: Demetrice Robinson was like a non factor in again, they

591
00:25:21,960 --> 00:25:24,200
Speaker 1: were just throwing it all over the yard. We couldn't

592
00:25:24,240 --> 00:25:27,040
Speaker 1: couldn't slow him down. And then Justin Wilcox getting Carolina

593
00:25:27,160 --> 00:25:31,360
Speaker 1: was really really struggling. Brandon Harrison quarterback that uh departed

594
00:25:31,359 --> 00:25:33,879
Speaker 1: from a start. He started, I don't, I don't know.

595
00:25:34,200 --> 00:25:36,720
Speaker 1: Chaster Rock came in and did a really good job.

596
00:25:36,720 --> 00:25:38,479
Speaker 1: They were moving the ball with him. Put Brenton Harrison

597
00:25:38,560 --> 00:25:40,840
Speaker 1: had a couple of interceptions. So this week I'm a

598
00:25:40,960 --> 00:25:43,640
Speaker 1: venture back to North Carolina. I'm gonna check out Lamar Jackson.

599
00:25:43,920 --> 00:25:47,480
Speaker 1: You're going, I'm going, that's huge, going it? Are you

600
00:25:47,520 --> 00:25:51,119
Speaker 1: doing Game Day Live on Sunday? Yeah? Are I am

601
00:25:51,160 --> 00:25:54,240
Speaker 1: doing the morning When are you getting back? Oh? Man, see,

602
00:25:54,240 --> 00:25:56,680
Speaker 1: because they assigned this to me late, I have to

603
00:25:56,680 --> 00:25:58,960
Speaker 1: figure out. I gotta rework my flight. So me and

604
00:25:58,960 --> 00:26:01,120
Speaker 1: Bucky are gonna be on the show. So Sundays during

605
00:26:01,119 --> 00:26:03,520
Speaker 1: the NFL season show called Game Day Live, so we

606
00:26:03,520 --> 00:26:06,080
Speaker 1: can show highlights, not not we can't show like the

607
00:26:06,119 --> 00:26:08,399
Speaker 1: red zone while it's happening, but immediately after it happens,

608
00:26:08,440 --> 00:26:11,159
Speaker 1: we can show the footage. So, uh, Sundays, it's a

609
00:26:11,240 --> 00:26:13,000
Speaker 1: three and a half hour block we're on, which is

610
00:26:13,400 --> 00:26:15,879
Speaker 1: one o'clock Eastern until four thirty Eastern, so for the

611
00:26:15,880 --> 00:26:18,160
Speaker 1: first round of games, and then I think it's Arl

612
00:26:18,240 --> 00:26:20,640
Speaker 1: Davis coming in after us. Uh, maybe Heath. I don't

613
00:26:20,680 --> 00:26:22,960
Speaker 1: know who's with him. But so we're on that morning shift.

614
00:26:23,160 --> 00:26:25,520
Speaker 1: I'm gonna do the New Mexico New Mexico State game

615
00:26:26,000 --> 00:26:28,639
Speaker 1: and I'm on the early bird, uh Sunday morning, so

616
00:26:28,640 --> 00:26:30,560
Speaker 1: I get back into like seven fifteen. We need to

617
00:26:30,600 --> 00:26:35,560
Speaker 1: be in the studio at Okay, you don't that sound good?

618
00:26:36,320 --> 00:26:38,520
Speaker 1: I think I'm okay. You should be fine. You should

619
00:26:38,520 --> 00:26:43,560
Speaker 1: be fine. Yeah, New Mexico State kid, the receiver had

620
00:26:43,560 --> 00:26:47,359
Speaker 1: two unbelievable catches in that game. You brush up on

621
00:26:47,400 --> 00:26:49,159
Speaker 1: your triple option stuff when you look in New Mexico.

622
00:26:49,200 --> 00:26:51,000
Speaker 1: I'm looking forward to that. They they may only throw

623
00:26:51,080 --> 00:26:53,040
Speaker 1: the ten times I think gets meat. That gets me

624
00:26:53,040 --> 00:26:57,080
Speaker 1: out of their quick good nights sleep. Um. Anyways, so

625
00:26:57,240 --> 00:26:59,800
Speaker 1: app State, we don't need to talk about Look you guys,

626
00:27:00,800 --> 00:27:04,800
Speaker 1: but you know what that Gamey State game. That game

627
00:27:04,880 --> 00:27:07,520
Speaker 1: was very, very competitive. They knocked out the starting quarterback

628
00:27:07,560 --> 00:27:10,320
Speaker 1: East and From came in and actually Georgia was struggling

629
00:27:10,359 --> 00:27:11,840
Speaker 1: with Eastan when From came in, they were able to

630
00:27:11,840 --> 00:27:13,880
Speaker 1: throw the ball a little bit. Guys need a little

631
00:27:13,880 --> 00:27:16,119
Speaker 1: more offense. But I mean that was a very very

632
00:27:16,160 --> 00:27:19,399
Speaker 1: competitive game. Yeah, we ran for a hundred thirty six yards.

633
00:27:19,400 --> 00:27:24,760
Speaker 1: It's not terrible. But the um the picks. By the way,

634
00:27:24,800 --> 00:27:27,399
Speaker 1: did you see the results from the picks? I know

635
00:27:27,480 --> 00:27:29,360
Speaker 1: I didn't do well, so I didn't know I didn't

636
00:27:29,359 --> 00:27:31,040
Speaker 1: think I did well. It's seven and four weeks puts

637
00:27:31,040 --> 00:27:33,080
Speaker 1: me in first place after the last place finished last

638
00:27:33,160 --> 00:27:35,560
Speaker 1: year seven and four seven. I would have been eight

639
00:27:35,560 --> 00:27:37,760
Speaker 1: and three. But but you jerks put the app State

640
00:27:37,800 --> 00:27:39,400
Speaker 1: Georgia game in here, knowing that I had to pick

641
00:27:39,440 --> 00:27:42,320
Speaker 1: app State. Come on, we're gonna get wake for us

642
00:27:42,359 --> 00:27:43,720
Speaker 1: in a couple of weeks. You don't worry about that,

643
00:27:45,240 --> 00:27:47,080
Speaker 1: all right, buck, Let's jump into some of these rookies

644
00:27:47,119 --> 00:27:50,080
Speaker 1: here from Let's switch gears here in NFL. I watched

645
00:27:50,080 --> 00:27:51,679
Speaker 1: a bunch of these guys. I'm gonna roll through some

646
00:27:51,760 --> 00:27:53,800
Speaker 1: of my thoughts and then I'll let you just I'll

647
00:27:53,840 --> 00:27:56,560
Speaker 1: just I'm gonna kind of ramble through. Sorry about that.

648
00:27:56,560 --> 00:27:58,399
Speaker 1: I'm gonna ramble through my thoughts on some guys that

649
00:27:58,440 --> 00:28:01,000
Speaker 1: I watched, and then i'll get your feedback on any

650
00:28:01,000 --> 00:28:03,119
Speaker 1: of them that you've seen that I've watched, or if

651
00:28:03,119 --> 00:28:04,440
Speaker 1: you have anyboilse you want to throw in there. Okay,

652
00:28:04,440 --> 00:28:06,960
Speaker 1: here we go. Reuben Foster is a freak show, uh,

653
00:28:07,000 --> 00:28:11,080
Speaker 1: covering tight ends, explosive everything that we thought he was.

654
00:28:11,119 --> 00:28:14,400
Speaker 1: He's he's phenomenal. Miles Garrett to get off his elite

655
00:28:14,440 --> 00:28:17,040
Speaker 1: the quickness, uh, using his hands well, not a ton

656
00:28:17,119 --> 00:28:18,600
Speaker 1: of production when he was getting a lot of attention

657
00:28:18,600 --> 00:28:22,440
Speaker 1: from opponents. Jared Davis is playing his butt off for

658
00:28:22,480 --> 00:28:25,760
Speaker 1: the Detroit Lions. Have you watched him at all? Watched him? Look,

659
00:28:25,840 --> 00:28:28,240
Speaker 1: he has come in right away, He's been and talking

660
00:28:28,240 --> 00:28:30,080
Speaker 1: to people up there. He has already come in and

661
00:28:30,080 --> 00:28:32,480
Speaker 1: assuming some of the leadership stuff on defense, does a

662
00:28:32,480 --> 00:28:35,000
Speaker 1: great job of getting them lined up. He's physical against

663
00:28:35,040 --> 00:28:37,479
Speaker 1: the running game, he has the instincts. The only the

664
00:28:37,520 --> 00:28:40,000
Speaker 1: only game that he really had problems New England. They

665
00:28:40,040 --> 00:28:42,040
Speaker 1: isolated him a little bit and pass coverage and kind

666
00:28:42,040 --> 00:28:44,120
Speaker 1: of worked him with the backs. But that's something that

667
00:28:44,160 --> 00:28:46,120
Speaker 1: he'll learn how to do. But in terms of being

668
00:28:46,160 --> 00:28:47,600
Speaker 1: able to come in and be a plug and play

669
00:28:47,880 --> 00:28:50,320
Speaker 1: plug and play star, he's outstanding. Derek Barnett and Cooper

670
00:28:50,360 --> 00:28:53,000
Speaker 1: cup who we've talked plenty about. Threat Cohen my dude

671
00:28:53,000 --> 00:28:56,840
Speaker 1: from Chicago. After really watching his cutups whole super super explosing.

672
00:28:56,840 --> 00:28:59,120
Speaker 1: He sprawls with a jet pack. I mean, he has

673
00:28:59,200 --> 00:29:01,360
Speaker 1: everything he he can. He can make it happen out

674
00:29:01,400 --> 00:29:03,160
Speaker 1: the out of the back, did a really good job

675
00:29:03,240 --> 00:29:05,840
Speaker 1: running the ball, getting on the edges. I just think

676
00:29:05,840 --> 00:29:09,760
Speaker 1: he's Look, they don't have a not small and they're

677
00:29:09,760 --> 00:29:12,160
Speaker 1: gonna have to lean on him. And I think, look,

678
00:29:12,360 --> 00:29:15,160
Speaker 1: people don't want to hear me say this or whatever,

679
00:29:15,200 --> 00:29:16,920
Speaker 1: but I think he's gonna have a bigger role for

680
00:29:16,960 --> 00:29:18,880
Speaker 1: them than Jordan Howard. I know Jordan Howard had a

681
00:29:18,920 --> 00:29:21,320
Speaker 1: great year, great rookie years, second leading Russian and all

682
00:29:21,320 --> 00:29:23,280
Speaker 1: that other stuff. But this guy is more explosive, more dynamic.

683
00:29:23,320 --> 00:29:25,000
Speaker 1: Did you get him into your fantasy lease? No, No No,

684
00:29:25,200 --> 00:29:26,840
Speaker 1: I haven't. I haven't. Haven't picked him up yet, haven't

685
00:29:26,840 --> 00:29:29,840
Speaker 1: picked him up. Get on it, Get on it. Desmond

686
00:29:29,920 --> 00:29:32,080
Speaker 1: King for the Chargers had a great piece of preseason,

687
00:29:32,080 --> 00:29:35,800
Speaker 1: playing some nickel, playing some high safety. That has been

688
00:29:35,840 --> 00:29:39,240
Speaker 1: a great move And sometimes you speculate when you're you're

689
00:29:39,280 --> 00:29:42,400
Speaker 1: looking at the quarterback position, guys that can move inside

690
00:29:42,560 --> 00:29:44,680
Speaker 1: like he wanted to Jim Thorpe Awards as a junior,

691
00:29:44,720 --> 00:29:47,400
Speaker 1: had a bunch of interceptions. The best thing that Day've

692
00:29:47,400 --> 00:29:49,800
Speaker 1: done has moved him inside where he can really see

693
00:29:49,840 --> 00:29:53,000
Speaker 1: the field, see the quarterback. Gus Bradley was really excited

694
00:29:53,040 --> 00:29:54,960
Speaker 1: to get him when they were able to land him,

695
00:29:55,000 --> 00:29:56,520
Speaker 1: but now put him in free safe, He's going to

696
00:29:56,640 --> 00:29:58,520
Speaker 1: create a lot of turnovers. I think he gets in

697
00:29:58,560 --> 00:30:00,800
Speaker 1: the mix early. So Sully's not out here, but we've

698
00:30:00,800 --> 00:30:02,800
Speaker 1: got a new team member here at Chris's here. Chris,

699
00:30:02,800 --> 00:30:05,400
Speaker 1: you've been with the Chargers during training camp. You've seen

700
00:30:05,400 --> 00:30:07,240
Speaker 1: a bunch of this football team. What was your take?

701
00:30:07,280 --> 00:30:09,480
Speaker 1: Give me your your quick thumbnail sketch here on what

702
00:30:09,520 --> 00:30:11,440
Speaker 1: you saw from Desmond King at training camp. He just

703
00:30:11,480 --> 00:30:14,080
Speaker 1: makes plays, man it it doesn't have what it is

704
00:30:14,120 --> 00:30:15,960
Speaker 1: as a sack of pass break up. I think the

705
00:30:15,960 --> 00:30:18,800
Speaker 1: most impressive thing I saw was that first preseason game

706
00:30:19,200 --> 00:30:22,720
Speaker 1: he walked down at uh. That was the thing. I

707
00:30:22,760 --> 00:30:24,600
Speaker 1: didn't think he could run. It was just a hustle,

708
00:30:24,680 --> 00:30:26,360
Speaker 1: you know. And I don't think it showed up as

709
00:30:26,440 --> 00:30:28,840
Speaker 1: much in practice as they did in the games. So

710
00:30:29,240 --> 00:30:31,400
Speaker 1: I just I think he's with him in the slot

711
00:30:31,440 --> 00:30:34,640
Speaker 1: with Varette and Hayward. Hayward led the league and picks

712
00:30:34,720 --> 00:30:37,800
Speaker 1: last year. I really think that this has the potential

713
00:30:37,920 --> 00:30:40,040
Speaker 1: to be a really awesome secondary with Gus Bradley Man

714
00:30:40,120 --> 00:30:42,000
Speaker 1: with some some heat you can generate up front with

715
00:30:42,040 --> 00:30:43,840
Speaker 1: that group. Oh yeah, I mean it's gonna be fun

716
00:30:43,880 --> 00:30:45,400
Speaker 1: with the Charges. I'm I'm all in, and I know

717
00:30:45,440 --> 00:30:47,400
Speaker 1: people have kind of knocked him for how they played

718
00:30:47,440 --> 00:30:49,680
Speaker 1: during the preseason, but in terms of what they have

719
00:30:50,120 --> 00:30:52,520
Speaker 1: man Joey Bolston, Melvin Ingram are I think the best

720
00:30:52,520 --> 00:30:54,560
Speaker 1: pass rushing combo that you can find off the edge

721
00:30:54,560 --> 00:30:56,920
Speaker 1: and as they heat you up and the ball is

722
00:30:56,920 --> 00:31:01,160
Speaker 1: coming out hot and high and errant. With Varette Hayward King,

723
00:31:01,440 --> 00:31:02,680
Speaker 1: some of the other guys that they have in the

724
00:31:02,720 --> 00:31:04,760
Speaker 1: back end that are working in I'm excited about. But

725
00:31:04,800 --> 00:31:06,880
Speaker 1: Desmond King was a nice pickup, and I think it's

726
00:31:06,920 --> 00:31:08,600
Speaker 1: a credit that they were able to take his bass

727
00:31:08,600 --> 00:31:10,200
Speaker 1: skills and try and find a way to put him

728
00:31:10,200 --> 00:31:11,760
Speaker 1: on the field in the right position to mask some

729
00:31:11,840 --> 00:31:13,960
Speaker 1: of the deficiency speedwats. So if you want to look

730
00:31:14,000 --> 00:31:16,400
Speaker 1: at an interesting exercise, I did this the other day,

731
00:31:16,560 --> 00:31:18,640
Speaker 1: go to our lads where all the depth charts are,

732
00:31:19,160 --> 00:31:21,200
Speaker 1: and just do yourself a favor and look at left

733
00:31:21,200 --> 00:31:23,760
Speaker 1: tackle and then look at right tackle, and try and

734
00:31:23,960 --> 00:31:26,000
Speaker 1: look at how many teams in this league have a

735
00:31:26,040 --> 00:31:28,800
Speaker 1: decent I'm not saying a you know, elite or special.

736
00:31:28,840 --> 00:31:31,440
Speaker 1: I'm saying, have a decent pair of tackles. A lot

737
00:31:31,440 --> 00:31:33,120
Speaker 1: of times it's like this, Buck, It's you look at

738
00:31:33,160 --> 00:31:35,360
Speaker 1: the first guy, maybe a left tackle you look at

739
00:31:35,400 --> 00:31:37,880
Speaker 1: the right tipe he's playing. And now you start going

740
00:31:37,920 --> 00:31:40,000
Speaker 1: up against teams like the Chargers that can throw those

741
00:31:40,000 --> 00:31:42,560
Speaker 1: two dudes off the edge. Somebody's somebody's in trouble. Yeah,

742
00:31:42,560 --> 00:31:46,400
Speaker 1: someone's in trouble. And and and Mene like Watson. You

743
00:31:46,440 --> 00:31:48,840
Speaker 1: know that's week one. That's that's that's Denver. He's got

744
00:31:48,880 --> 00:31:51,040
Speaker 1: to deal with one of those dudeys real quick. I

745
00:31:51,040 --> 00:31:54,840
Speaker 1: think Monday will be the first time that Verrette, Hayward, Bosa,

746
00:31:54,920 --> 00:31:56,880
Speaker 1: and Ingram are all on the field together, because they

747
00:31:56,880 --> 00:31:59,000
Speaker 1: were on the field together in preseason and Rhett was

748
00:31:59,080 --> 00:32:01,160
Speaker 1: hurting Week four, So let's be the first time all

749
00:32:01,160 --> 00:32:04,440
Speaker 1: four of those guys are on the field together. It's

750
00:32:05,000 --> 00:32:07,240
Speaker 1: thing I think that is the advantage of defenses that

751
00:32:07,360 --> 00:32:10,400
Speaker 1: found um there's a huge disparity between the left tackle

752
00:32:10,440 --> 00:32:12,440
Speaker 1: and the right tackle. Before you could hide someone at

753
00:32:12,560 --> 00:32:15,120
Speaker 1: right tackle because that was more of the run heavy blocker.

754
00:32:15,440 --> 00:32:18,920
Speaker 1: But now with the league continue to trend more towards passing,

755
00:32:19,280 --> 00:32:21,040
Speaker 1: you have to have a solid right tackle, and they

756
00:32:21,040 --> 00:32:22,960
Speaker 1: are not enough teams to do it, which is why

757
00:32:23,000 --> 00:32:26,160
Speaker 1: I got like a Layo Collins can't get paid early

758
00:32:26,600 --> 00:32:29,840
Speaker 1: because the Cowboys recognized his value value. Do not want

759
00:32:29,920 --> 00:32:32,280
Speaker 1: him to get to the Open month. Jordan Willis coming

760
00:32:32,280 --> 00:32:34,320
Speaker 1: off the edge for the Bengals was outstanding in the

761
00:32:34,320 --> 00:32:37,000
Speaker 1: preseason that burst. Look those testing numbers. We saw the

762
00:32:37,040 --> 00:32:39,760
Speaker 1: production in college and we didn't know how athletic he was.

763
00:32:39,800 --> 00:32:42,040
Speaker 1: In the testing numbers were off the charts. Now you're

764
00:32:42,040 --> 00:32:44,560
Speaker 1: seeing in the NFL level like, okay, those numbers kind

765
00:32:44,560 --> 00:32:46,080
Speaker 1: of match with what you're seeing. He's got a great

766
00:32:46,080 --> 00:32:48,200
Speaker 1: get off. As a great get off, he's a workman

767
00:32:48,280 --> 00:32:50,520
Speaker 1: like player off the edge, does a great job of

768
00:32:50,560 --> 00:32:53,320
Speaker 1: getting home. Um. I know a lot of the conversation

769
00:32:53,600 --> 00:32:56,040
Speaker 1: leading up to the preseason was about Karl Lawson being

770
00:32:56,040 --> 00:32:58,239
Speaker 1: a guy, But right now we've seen Jordan Willis as

771
00:32:58,240 --> 00:33:00,480
Speaker 1: a guy that probably will be that rush that gives

772
00:33:00,520 --> 00:33:03,160
Speaker 1: them that contribution off the edge. How about Mohammed did

773
00:33:03,200 --> 00:33:05,040
Speaker 1: you look at him at all for the Saints coming

774
00:33:05,080 --> 00:33:06,840
Speaker 1: off the edge? The Miami kid, I believe, the one

775
00:33:06,880 --> 00:33:08,560
Speaker 1: that got kicked out of school right or got trouble.

776
00:33:08,600 --> 00:33:10,840
Speaker 1: Don't quote me on that. Um, I'd have to go

777
00:33:10,840 --> 00:33:12,640
Speaker 1: back and look there. I'm gonna actually pull my notes.

778
00:33:12,720 --> 00:33:14,800
Speaker 1: But you know, when you think about the Saints, the

779
00:33:14,840 --> 00:33:16,680
Speaker 1: one thing that I noticed when I watched the Saints.

780
00:33:16,760 --> 00:33:20,440
Speaker 1: They were lighting people up because they were bringing heat

781
00:33:20,880 --> 00:33:24,600
Speaker 1: and their pass rush working with their coverage gives them

782
00:33:24,600 --> 00:33:26,760
Speaker 1: an opportunity. I don't know if you can live in

783
00:33:26,800 --> 00:33:30,160
Speaker 1: a blitz defense forever and ever, but Dennis Alan, hey, look,

784
00:33:30,200 --> 00:33:32,880
Speaker 1: I former colleague Mike Nolan is down there also helping

785
00:33:32,920 --> 00:33:35,840
Speaker 1: those guys out. But they are really heating people up.

786
00:33:35,880 --> 00:33:37,680
Speaker 1: And I saw a lot of people get really good

787
00:33:37,760 --> 00:33:41,240
Speaker 1: licks on the quarterback, but more impressively in the back end.

788
00:33:41,480 --> 00:33:44,080
Speaker 1: I saw Marshawn Lattimore and some of those young guys

789
00:33:44,120 --> 00:33:46,800
Speaker 1: began to play to that level. He and p J Williams.

790
00:33:46,800 --> 00:33:50,040
Speaker 1: Al Kadeen Mohammed from Miami. He was six o three

791
00:33:50,040 --> 00:33:51,800
Speaker 1: four sixth and a half two or fifty three pounds.

792
00:33:51,800 --> 00:33:53,400
Speaker 1: He ran four eight eight at the combine. But he

793
00:33:53,440 --> 00:33:55,600
Speaker 1: was kicked off the team at Miami. Uh they had

794
00:33:55,600 --> 00:33:58,720
Speaker 1: an off the field issue. Uh Man. I I gave

795
00:33:58,800 --> 00:34:00,800
Speaker 1: him like a pretty decent great game, like a six

796
00:34:00,840 --> 00:34:03,440
Speaker 1: o d it's like a fourth round grade um, but

797
00:34:03,480 --> 00:34:04,960
Speaker 1: you know, had some off the field issues. You need

798
00:34:05,000 --> 00:34:08,120
Speaker 1: to sort sort through that. But he was you flashed

799
00:34:08,120 --> 00:34:10,080
Speaker 1: in a little bit you saw of him at Miami.

800
00:34:10,120 --> 00:34:12,680
Speaker 1: Didn't play in sixteen two thousand and fifteen tape, and

801
00:34:12,719 --> 00:34:14,680
Speaker 1: you went back and watched explosive power. He's at a

802
00:34:14,680 --> 00:34:16,800
Speaker 1: two point in the three point stance. Uh. He was

803
00:34:16,840 --> 00:34:18,480
Speaker 1: good as a looper. He had I think he had

804
00:34:18,480 --> 00:34:21,200
Speaker 1: like four sacks in the preseason bucket when I watched him. Dude,

805
00:34:21,200 --> 00:34:23,000
Speaker 1: this guy can play man. And all I can think

806
00:34:23,000 --> 00:34:25,680
Speaker 1: of though, was was, what's the name? Why am I

807
00:34:25,719 --> 00:34:30,640
Speaker 1: drawing a blank here? Uh? Coming to America? If a

808
00:34:30,719 --> 00:34:37,720
Speaker 1: man wants to behold that's so good man, I love it. Uh.

809
00:34:37,760 --> 00:34:43,400
Speaker 1: He whipped Joe Lewis anyway, that's funny. That's a funny.

810
00:34:43,400 --> 00:34:45,640
Speaker 1: That's a funny tape. That's a funny when you watch

811
00:34:45,760 --> 00:34:47,399
Speaker 1: him now, when you see this dude play now, that's

812
00:34:47,400 --> 00:34:49,759
Speaker 1: all that you're gonna hear in your head. But he

813
00:34:49,800 --> 00:34:52,080
Speaker 1: can play now. He's interesting. He's a good an other

814
00:34:52,080 --> 00:34:54,840
Speaker 1: one Tyas Bowser for the Ravens, who they thought was

815
00:34:54,880 --> 00:34:56,480
Speaker 1: going to kind of be more of an edge rusher.

816
00:34:57,160 --> 00:34:59,319
Speaker 1: He's a he's a special athlete and they're using him

817
00:34:59,320 --> 00:35:01,160
Speaker 1: in coverage a lot, matching him up with tight ends.

818
00:35:01,360 --> 00:35:02,919
Speaker 1: He can run and cover all day long. He's gonna

819
00:35:02,920 --> 00:35:04,799
Speaker 1: be a good asset for them. Yeah, well, I mean,

820
00:35:05,360 --> 00:35:07,960
Speaker 1: I think the Ravens have a very unique defense. They

821
00:35:08,000 --> 00:35:09,879
Speaker 1: have some young guys that can play. They brought in

822
00:35:10,120 --> 00:35:12,919
Speaker 1: Tony Jefferson to hip. Eric Weddell. Uh, you have Marlon

823
00:35:13,000 --> 00:35:15,800
Speaker 1: Humphrey who is still kind of wait yet if he

824
00:35:15,800 --> 00:35:18,200
Speaker 1: can get in the mix. But the Ravens should be better,

825
00:35:19,040 --> 00:35:22,000
Speaker 1: he said, they be better on offense. Joe Flacco back

826
00:35:22,000 --> 00:35:23,520
Speaker 1: and practice. We'll get to that. We'll get into the

827
00:35:23,520 --> 00:35:25,480
Speaker 1: previous of the games here on the next episode. A

828
00:35:25,480 --> 00:35:27,880
Speaker 1: couple more guys for NET very Limited didn't play much.

829
00:35:27,920 --> 00:35:30,640
Speaker 1: Just that that Patriot game. He's Jamal lewis Man. I

830
00:35:30,680 --> 00:35:32,200
Speaker 1: say it every time I see him. Just attack the

831
00:35:32,200 --> 00:35:35,080
Speaker 1: line of scrimmage. Just the physical downhill, dude, physical. Now

832
00:35:35,160 --> 00:35:37,120
Speaker 1: he will do it. He's gonna have to really showed

833
00:35:37,120 --> 00:35:39,879
Speaker 1: the big workload because I don't care what Doug Morole says.

834
00:35:39,920 --> 00:35:41,920
Speaker 1: He can say that Blake Borders has never looked better

835
00:35:42,200 --> 00:35:44,600
Speaker 1: in the week coming off the benching best week of practice.

836
00:35:44,840 --> 00:35:47,359
Speaker 1: Are going to need to lean on the running game.

837
00:35:47,440 --> 00:35:48,680
Speaker 1: Leonard for NET is going to have to be a

838
00:35:48,719 --> 00:35:51,520
Speaker 1: guy against five carriers. Chris Ivy may have to get

839
00:35:51,520 --> 00:35:53,680
Speaker 1: twet of fifteen. They need to run the ball on

840
00:35:53,760 --> 00:35:56,319
Speaker 1: every play and really limit the exposure that they do

841
00:35:56,440 --> 00:35:59,200
Speaker 1: for that they provide for Blake Bortles tell you what

842
00:35:59,200 --> 00:36:02,160
Speaker 1: it's interesting this next one here d D. Westbrook Um

843
00:36:02,160 --> 00:36:04,560
Speaker 1: looking back at the combine stuff just under six hundred

844
00:36:04,560 --> 00:36:06,759
Speaker 1: and seventy eight pounds. Ran I had what fourth three

845
00:36:06,800 --> 00:36:08,560
Speaker 1: six was what I had him for for a time.

846
00:36:08,600 --> 00:36:13,239
Speaker 1: I think that was there you go. But the it's

847
00:36:13,280 --> 00:36:16,480
Speaker 1: funny because I'm like, God, I watched it unbelievable what

848
00:36:16,520 --> 00:36:18,040
Speaker 1: he was doing in the preseason, and I thought in

849
00:36:18,120 --> 00:36:20,120
Speaker 1: my head, I know he wasn't in. He was not

850
00:36:20,200 --> 00:36:22,000
Speaker 1: in my top fifty. But I'm like, man, I just

851
00:36:22,120 --> 00:36:23,520
Speaker 1: I whipped on him. I don't think I gave him

852
00:36:23,520 --> 00:36:25,320
Speaker 1: a very good grade. I went back in the computer

853
00:36:25,320 --> 00:36:26,840
Speaker 1: and I gave him a six two, which is a

854
00:36:26,960 --> 00:36:29,880
Speaker 1: nice like second third round type. So I had him

855
00:36:29,920 --> 00:36:31,359
Speaker 1: up there. He was in, He was in my top five.

856
00:36:31,400 --> 00:36:33,520
Speaker 1: I loved him. I kind of liked him a little

857
00:36:33,560 --> 00:36:36,720
Speaker 1: bit to de Sean Jackson in terms of I felt

858
00:36:36,800 --> 00:36:39,640
Speaker 1: like he was one of the cleanest route runners that

859
00:36:39,719 --> 00:36:41,600
Speaker 1: we can find. I felt like he had all the tricks,

860
00:36:42,120 --> 00:36:44,360
Speaker 1: uh that you can find on the outside. His stutters,

861
00:36:44,360 --> 00:36:47,080
Speaker 1: his releases, his stems. He was explosive with the ball

862
00:36:47,080 --> 00:36:50,120
Speaker 1: in his hands, and he had some punt return ability,

863
00:36:50,160 --> 00:36:51,640
Speaker 1: so I thought he had an opportunity to be And

864
00:36:51,640 --> 00:36:53,520
Speaker 1: so when he went into fourth round, particularly there, I

865
00:36:53,520 --> 00:36:55,600
Speaker 1: was like, man, where's he going to fit? I think

866
00:36:55,640 --> 00:36:58,799
Speaker 1: he's worked his way into their rotation with Marky's lead

867
00:36:58,920 --> 00:37:01,160
Speaker 1: being out for a while, he's going to play and

868
00:37:01,200 --> 00:37:03,560
Speaker 1: I think he's gonna open up the field for the Alan's.

869
00:37:03,600 --> 00:37:06,759
Speaker 1: So my notes, College plays outside inside a lot of

870
00:37:06,760 --> 00:37:09,439
Speaker 1: bubbles and quick game, elusive, shifty, you can adjust. He's

871
00:37:09,480 --> 00:37:12,040
Speaker 1: smooth and explosive, which is not something you often see

872
00:37:12,080 --> 00:37:14,200
Speaker 1: him together, and just had the slight frame. And then

873
00:37:14,239 --> 00:37:16,320
Speaker 1: I watched him in the preseason. You're right, tricks of

874
00:37:16,360 --> 00:37:19,319
Speaker 1: the trade. His releases are ridiculous for a rookie. I mean,

875
00:37:19,360 --> 00:37:21,759
Speaker 1: he gets it. He's explosive, people can't get their hands

876
00:37:21,800 --> 00:37:23,840
Speaker 1: on him. He knows how to set up routes, he

877
00:37:23,880 --> 00:37:26,880
Speaker 1: can adjust, and he's competitive after the catch, Bucky. I

878
00:37:26,920 --> 00:37:29,160
Speaker 1: know they have a ton of wide receivers there in Jacksonville,

879
00:37:29,200 --> 00:37:30,680
Speaker 1: a ton of them. They have to figure out a

880
00:37:30,680 --> 00:37:32,320
Speaker 1: way to get this kid the ball. He could be special.

881
00:37:32,360 --> 00:37:33,759
Speaker 1: I mean that we go on and then we've we've

882
00:37:33,760 --> 00:37:36,520
Speaker 1: had these conversations about Alan Hearnes. I believe that he

883
00:37:36,640 --> 00:37:39,839
Speaker 1: is a more complete and polished He's better. He's better,

884
00:37:40,440 --> 00:37:42,759
Speaker 1: and I gotta be careful the last time. I gotta

885
00:37:42,760 --> 00:37:44,920
Speaker 1: be careful talking about young guys being better than old guys,

886
00:37:44,960 --> 00:37:47,920
Speaker 1: because sometimes old guys don't like hearing that. Got in

887
00:37:47,960 --> 00:37:53,120
Speaker 1: trouble last time, So I'll let you do that. He's

888
00:37:53,160 --> 00:37:55,040
Speaker 1: pretty good. He is really good. I think it's gonna

889
00:37:55,040 --> 00:37:58,200
Speaker 1: be really good player. Uh Peppers, Jabrill Peppers had a

890
00:37:58,280 --> 00:38:02,280
Speaker 1: nice preseason, good in things. Playing when he's against Tampa

891
00:38:02,280 --> 00:38:04,360
Speaker 1: Bay in the in the in the red zone. Um,

892
00:38:04,400 --> 00:38:07,040
Speaker 1: Greg Williams has a plan for putting him on the field.

893
00:38:07,080 --> 00:38:08,719
Speaker 1: He's playing in the deep middle. We're worried about the

894
00:38:08,719 --> 00:38:12,200
Speaker 1: ball skills has a materialized to this point. We'll see.

895
00:38:12,239 --> 00:38:15,600
Speaker 1: I think the Cleveland Browns have a really intriguing defense.

896
00:38:16,080 --> 00:38:18,600
Speaker 1: Young guys that they're putting on on the field, they're

897
00:38:18,640 --> 00:38:20,239
Speaker 1: gonna be better. I don't know what their record is

898
00:38:20,280 --> 00:38:22,200
Speaker 1: going to end up, but I think this is a

899
00:38:22,239 --> 00:38:25,120
Speaker 1: more competitive team and they're really going to be nasty

900
00:38:25,160 --> 00:38:27,040
Speaker 1: on defense. With Greg Williams taken over all right, the

901
00:38:27,320 --> 00:38:30,719
Speaker 1: last two here Garrett Bowls again offensive lineman. I didn't

902
00:38:30,719 --> 00:38:32,560
Speaker 1: spend time going back through the entire prices and I

903
00:38:32,560 --> 00:38:34,640
Speaker 1: put on Game three, which I know he's gonna play

904
00:38:34,640 --> 00:38:37,320
Speaker 1: against good players, and watched him against the Packers. I

905
00:38:37,320 --> 00:38:39,759
Speaker 1: believe that was he played well. He's a finisher, he's

906
00:38:39,760 --> 00:38:42,960
Speaker 1: got nice he's got a nice wide, firm base question

907
00:38:42,960 --> 00:38:44,759
Speaker 1: awareness on one. That was a little bit of the

908
00:38:44,760 --> 00:38:47,960
Speaker 1: concern with him, uh coming out, So just dealing with

909
00:38:48,040 --> 00:38:50,719
Speaker 1: games passing stuff off. We'll see how we how we

910
00:38:50,800 --> 00:38:53,640
Speaker 1: develops from that standpoint, but just nasty in a run game,

911
00:38:53,680 --> 00:38:55,400
Speaker 1: finishing dudes. Well, that was good, good. That was a

912
00:38:55,440 --> 00:38:57,319
Speaker 1: good bounceback performance. I want to say a week two

913
00:38:57,600 --> 00:39:00,840
Speaker 1: he had a couple of him penally is trying to

914
00:39:00,880 --> 00:39:02,960
Speaker 1: trying to get used to keeping his hands inside. But

915
00:39:02,960 --> 00:39:05,719
Speaker 1: that's a bounce Regardless of how he played, he has

916
00:39:05,760 --> 00:39:07,160
Speaker 1: to be in the mix. They have to get him

917
00:39:07,160 --> 00:39:09,799
Speaker 1: in the lineup, and but Trevor Simeon in the ring game,

918
00:39:09,800 --> 00:39:11,400
Speaker 1: they have to be able to be affected because you

919
00:39:11,480 --> 00:39:13,560
Speaker 1: just don't want Trevor Simeon having to throw the ball

920
00:39:13,880 --> 00:39:16,400
Speaker 1: thirty five times. That's just not the way that Broncos

921
00:39:16,400 --> 00:39:18,279
Speaker 1: are built. And one more linebacker man. It's a good

922
00:39:18,280 --> 00:39:21,560
Speaker 1: group of linebackers, these rookies here. Jayon Brown, former USILL

923
00:39:21,600 --> 00:39:24,759
Speaker 1: a kid at the Tennessee Titans. Fast, great job and

924
00:39:24,800 --> 00:39:27,319
Speaker 1: coverage man getting his hands on football's can close, has

925
00:39:27,320 --> 00:39:29,040
Speaker 1: a lot of range. He's he's done a nice job,

926
00:39:29,600 --> 00:39:31,560
Speaker 1: you know. Really athletic. He was someone that people were

927
00:39:31,560 --> 00:39:34,000
Speaker 1: excited about. Tested really well that his pro day. Has

928
00:39:34,040 --> 00:39:36,320
Speaker 1: a lot of athleticism Tennessee. He has really tried to

929
00:39:36,520 --> 00:39:39,200
Speaker 1: up their overall athleticism on both sides of the ball.

930
00:39:39,400 --> 00:39:41,359
Speaker 1: He's another explosive athlete that they're trying to get into

931
00:39:41,360 --> 00:39:44,200
Speaker 1: the mix. So I'm driving in today in UH car

932
00:39:44,239 --> 00:39:46,720
Speaker 1: in front of me has a license plate that says

933
00:39:46,960 --> 00:39:52,279
Speaker 1: I heart uh bon Jovi. Oh strong play? Don't you

934
00:39:52,320 --> 00:39:54,439
Speaker 1: think I mean that's a strong play at this time? Yeah?

935
00:39:54,560 --> 00:39:57,160
Speaker 1: Just stay true though, you know what I mean, Like

936
00:39:57,360 --> 00:39:59,120
Speaker 1: how old is the how old is that license? Play?

937
00:39:59,360 --> 00:40:03,200
Speaker 1: Man on jovies? Jesus high school? But I mean, also

938
00:40:03,280 --> 00:40:07,120
Speaker 1: I put myself obviously I'm assuming it's the woman. Is

939
00:40:07,120 --> 00:40:09,600
Speaker 1: that is that a safe assumption? If if that's if

940
00:40:09,600 --> 00:40:11,279
Speaker 1: that's your wife? Though, are you like, honey, like this

941
00:40:11,360 --> 00:40:13,840
Speaker 1: is like I get it? You like to do you know,

942
00:40:13,960 --> 00:40:16,279
Speaker 1: but come on now, that's okay. This is a long like,

943
00:40:16,840 --> 00:40:20,040
Speaker 1: this is kind of long to be into this. It's okay.

944
00:40:20,080 --> 00:40:21,600
Speaker 1: So my bon Jovi story, this is why I want

945
00:40:21,640 --> 00:40:23,759
Speaker 1: to tell you this. So my bon Jovi story could

946
00:40:23,840 --> 00:40:26,400
Speaker 1: not be a nicer dude had. I've had two interactions

947
00:40:26,400 --> 00:40:30,400
Speaker 1: with John bon Jovie. First one working with ESPN Sunday

948
00:40:30,480 --> 00:40:33,760
Speaker 1: Night Football and uh, I was right out of college

949
00:40:33,960 --> 00:40:36,440
Speaker 1: and there I was a production assistant and I helped

950
00:40:36,560 --> 00:40:37,960
Speaker 1: as a spot or up in the booth, which is

951
00:40:38,000 --> 00:40:39,520
Speaker 1: you're helping guys on who made the tackle, all that

952
00:40:39,600 --> 00:40:42,920
Speaker 1: kind of stuff. So we're getting there a day early,

953
00:40:42,960 --> 00:40:44,880
Speaker 1: two days early for the game. It's a game in

954
00:40:45,000 --> 00:40:50,440
Speaker 1: the um Giant Stadium no longer uh in existence. But

955
00:40:50,960 --> 00:40:53,600
Speaker 1: so the director and the producer have a conference call

956
00:40:53,640 --> 00:40:55,000
Speaker 1: a couple of days before and say, hey, there's this

957
00:40:55,080 --> 00:40:57,560
Speaker 1: brand new technology. We're going to test it out. It's

958
00:40:57,600 --> 00:41:00,600
Speaker 1: called a sky cam. It's never been used before. So

959
00:41:01,120 --> 00:41:04,080
Speaker 1: this cameras like this free floating camera of all these

960
00:41:04,239 --> 00:41:06,279
Speaker 1: wires hanging. It was like the craziest thing I've ever

961
00:41:06,320 --> 00:41:08,399
Speaker 1: heard of. I'm like, that's that's really cool. So what's

962
00:41:08,400 --> 00:41:10,600
Speaker 1: the deal. Well, we need to test it out. We

963
00:41:10,600 --> 00:41:12,319
Speaker 1: were gonna do it in a couple of preseason games

964
00:41:12,320 --> 00:41:13,800
Speaker 1: and see if the NFL will allow it for the

965
00:41:13,840 --> 00:41:16,920
Speaker 1: regular season games. But before they actually play a game here,

966
00:41:17,000 --> 00:41:18,799
Speaker 1: we need to try it out so we know you're

967
00:41:18,800 --> 00:41:21,440
Speaker 1: a college quarterback. Can you assemble guys from the crew

968
00:41:22,200 --> 00:41:24,040
Speaker 1: um and go out there and just line up and

969
00:41:24,080 --> 00:41:26,080
Speaker 1: just throw the ball around and stuff. So I get

970
00:41:26,080 --> 00:41:29,719
Speaker 1: to go out there, this is I'm a giant around

971
00:41:29,719 --> 00:41:32,360
Speaker 1: a little bit with the camera following around everywhere. It was.

972
00:41:32,560 --> 00:41:35,360
Speaker 1: It was crazy, well there was. It was an opening

973
00:41:35,400 --> 00:41:37,680
Speaker 1: week and so they have the kickoff concert, so it

974
00:41:37,719 --> 00:41:40,359
Speaker 1: was John bonjo was bon Jovi was doing it. So

975
00:41:40,440 --> 00:41:42,360
Speaker 1: he gets off his little sound check or whatever. He

976
00:41:42,360 --> 00:41:43,799
Speaker 1: comes down the field and sees us playing. He goes,

977
00:41:44,040 --> 00:41:47,080
Speaker 1: you mind, So I'm throwing balls to John bon Jovi

978
00:41:47,200 --> 00:41:52,719
Speaker 1: while we're testing out skycam phenomenal. Uh it should be

979
00:41:52,760 --> 00:41:55,040
Speaker 1: somewhere right so I can contact the producer and find

980
00:41:55,040 --> 00:41:58,640
Speaker 1: out about that. He's more I would say more Wes

981
00:41:58,719 --> 00:42:01,920
Speaker 1: Welker than Randy Moss. Uh but a lot of a

982
00:42:01,920 --> 00:42:06,560
Speaker 1: lot of effort, sneaky fast. Uh No. He was a

983
00:42:06,560 --> 00:42:08,600
Speaker 1: good dude. And then he was at the East West.

984
00:42:08,800 --> 00:42:10,560
Speaker 1: Uh all Starry. Did you see him at the shrine

Speaker 1: game a couple of years ago, So he was there.

986
00:42:12,960 --> 00:42:15,000
Speaker 1: He's he's just he's a football junkie, and so he

987
00:42:15,239 --> 00:42:16,680
Speaker 1: has a place down there. It was down there for

988
00:42:16,719 --> 00:42:20,440
Speaker 1: some reason, Mack knows him from from Belichick because because

989
00:42:20,480 --> 00:42:24,680
Speaker 1: he's tied in with Belichick. So held the soul for
