Speaker 1: just focus on practice in a game. Um. That The

34
00:01:40,440 --> 00:01:42,319
Speaker 1: one thing about COVID is we've had a lot of

35
00:01:42,360 --> 00:01:45,320
Speaker 1: time to sit around and come up with contingency plans

36
00:01:45,360 --> 00:01:48,440
Speaker 1: and and making sure everyone's safe. So I want everyone

37
00:01:48,440 --> 00:01:50,600

38
00:01:50,680 --> 00:01:53,320

40
00:01:56,120 --> 00:01:58,800

41
00:01:58,840 --> 00:02:01,360

00:02:01,400 --> 00:02:03,560
Speaker 1: we feel really good about where we're at and we're

43
00:02:03,560 --> 00:02:05,600
Speaker 1: excited to get the players down here because it's not

44
00:02:05,640 --> 00:02:08,400
Speaker 1: a normal year. These decision makers that are gonna be

45
00:02:08,440 --> 00:02:10,600
Speaker 1: taking the cards off the board on draft Day are

46
00:02:10,639 --> 00:02:13,080
Speaker 1: not out at games on Saturday there with their clubs

47
00:02:13,080 --> 00:02:15,520
Speaker 1: on Sundays. So this is gonna be the first time

48
00:02:15,560 --> 00:02:17,560
Speaker 1: they'll be able to really get their eyeballs on these

49
00:02:17,560 --> 00:02:20,480
Speaker 1: guys and and make that live evaluation that's so important

50
00:02:20,800 --> 00:02:23,240
Speaker 1: and DJ, Bucky for you guys to look, it's just

51
00:02:23,560 --> 00:02:26,480
Speaker 1: another draft process that will feel a little bit different

52
00:02:26,720 --> 00:02:28,640
Speaker 1: as well, but it makes the Senior Bowl all the

53
00:02:28,680 --> 00:02:31,880
Speaker 1: more valuable this year in particular. Yeah, I think it'll

54
00:02:31,880 --> 00:02:33,680
Speaker 1: be the most important Senior Bowl that we've ever had.

55
00:02:33,720 --> 00:02:35,200
Speaker 1: And I'm not just saying that because gyms with us.

56
00:02:35,360 --> 00:02:37,359
Speaker 1: I really didn't believe that when you've got a year

57
00:02:37,360 --> 00:02:39,520
Speaker 1: where some players did not play at all this year,

58
00:02:39,880 --> 00:02:42,440
Speaker 1: some played three or four games, some played ten, eleven

59
00:02:42,480 --> 00:02:45,280
Speaker 1: games or even more so, uh, to get a chance

60
00:02:45,320 --> 00:02:48,320
Speaker 1: in person to evaluate these guys, It's gonna be more important,

61
00:02:48,360 --> 00:02:51,119

62
00:02:51,280 --> 00:02:53,519
Speaker 1: You're absolutely right, it's always been a big part of

63
00:02:53,560 --> 00:02:57,360
Speaker 1: the evaluation puzzle. The Senior Bowl now escalation in terms

64
00:02:57,360 --> 00:02:59,520
Speaker 1: of this importance because we haven't seen a lot of

65

Speaker 1: these guys participate. We finally get a chance to see

66

128
00:06:23,360 --> 00:06:25,720
Speaker 1: can you just talk about last go back to last

129
00:06:25,800 --> 00:06:28,080

Speaker 1: starting since tenth grade. I know there's been a lot

131
00:06:30,240 --> 00:06:32,720
Speaker 1: of that's been a you know, a big storyline behind you,

132

134
00:06:37,640 --> 00:06:40,479

135
00:06:40,520 --> 00:06:43,599
Speaker 1: just step up from my team. Um. You know, we

136
00:06:43,760 --> 00:06:46,120

140
00:06:55,080 --> 00:06:56,920
Speaker 1: we just had to execute to the best of our

141
00:06:56,960 --> 00:07:00,560
Speaker 1: ability with you know, some top competition. We may as

142
00:07:00,600 --> 00:07:02,920
Speaker 1: a team just one too many mistakes there at the end,

143
00:07:03,279 --> 00:07:05,920
Speaker 1: but it was um, you know, looking back on it

144
00:07:05,960 --> 00:07:09,080

157
00:07:38,520 --> 00:07:41,040
Speaker 1: and you know, I go back home, knock out some

158
00:07:41,080 --> 00:07:44,520
Speaker 1: homework on online classes, and then it's pretty much football

159
00:07:44,560 --> 00:07:46,960
Speaker 1: for the rest of the day. Come back for you know,

160
00:07:47,080 --> 00:07:51,400
Speaker 1: some treatment or meetings, and uh, you know, we're I'm

161
00:07:51,440 --> 00:07:55,280
Speaker 1: pretty much at the facility for like seven five percent

162
00:07:55,280 --> 00:07:57,960
Speaker 1: of the day, just straight grinding and getting ready for Saturday.

163
00:07:58,720 --> 00:08:01,560
Speaker 1: You know, Calvin and figured about that experience, how do

164
00:08:01,560 --> 00:08:03,880
Speaker 1: you believe like this last year is actually going to

165
00:08:03,920 --> 00:08:07,440
Speaker 1: help you prepare perform at your best at the Senior Bowl.

166
00:08:07,480 --> 00:08:09,760
Speaker 1: You talked about grinding every day. Why would you be

167
00:08:09,760 --> 00:08:12,440
Speaker 1: better prepared to really shine at the Senior Bowl. I

168
00:08:12,480 --> 00:08:14,720
Speaker 1: think it's just, you know, I've had a lot of

169
00:08:14,760 --> 00:08:17,520
Speaker 1: adversity on my journey to you know, play here at Florida,

170
00:08:18,040 --> 00:08:20,800
Speaker 1: and I've always had to make the most of the

171
00:08:20,840 --> 00:08:23,160
Speaker 1: reps that I was given. And I know there's a

172
00:08:23,160 --> 00:08:27,000
Speaker 1: lot of very talented UM quarterbacks that are going to

173
00:08:27,080 --> 00:08:28,680
Speaker 1: be at the Senior Bowl, and you know, it's all

174
00:08:28,720 --> 00:08:30,400
Speaker 1: about just making the most of your reps at the

175
00:08:30,480 --> 00:08:32,680
Speaker 1: end of the day. Hey, Kyle, you know you talked

176
00:08:32,679 --> 00:08:36,000
Speaker 1: about adversity there, and obviously you're getting set for the

177
00:08:36,040 --> 00:08:39,559
Speaker 1: SEC championship game here against Alabama, but coming off obviously

178
00:08:39,600 --> 00:08:42,240
Speaker 1: disappointing loss to to L s U and I had

179
00:08:42,280 --> 00:08:44,720
Speaker 1: another tight one to Texas A and M earlier in

180
00:08:44,760 --> 00:08:47,200
Speaker 1: the season. So you've dealt with adversity on a week

181
00:08:47,200 --> 00:08:50,079
Speaker 1: to week basis. You'll see a play to play down there,

182
00:08:50,120 --> 00:08:52,600
Speaker 1: competing against the best of college football has to offer

183
00:08:52,760 --> 00:08:55,840
Speaker 1: Inmobile and the Senior Bowl, with the eyes of the

184
00:08:56,000 --> 00:08:59,520
Speaker 1: NFL watching every move, How do you deal with that

185
00:08:59,559 --> 00:09:01,400
Speaker 1: adverse whether it's played to play a game to game

186
00:09:01,440 --> 00:09:03,600
Speaker 1: week to week. Well, I think you know that's what

187
00:09:03,640 --> 00:09:06,280
Speaker 1: the quarterback position is all about. You know, you're never

188
00:09:06,320 --> 00:09:10,000
Speaker 1: gonna have you know, the perfect game plan or you know,

189
00:09:10,040 --> 00:09:14,679
Speaker 1: the perfect execution on every single drive. But the thing

190
00:09:14,800 --> 00:09:17,600
Speaker 1: is you just got to adapt and you know, make

191
00:09:17,679 --> 00:09:20,680
Speaker 1: the most of every situation that you're thrown into. Um.

192
00:09:20,720 --> 00:09:23,400
Speaker 1: You know, I think that obviously we had a tough

193
00:09:23,480 --> 00:09:27,040
Speaker 1: loss on this past weekend, but it's just another hurdle

194
00:09:27,080 --> 00:09:29,160
Speaker 1: for this team to you know, get over and we're

195
00:09:29,200 --> 00:09:33,520
Speaker 1: just focused on rebounding and how we respond to uh

196
00:09:33,800 --> 00:09:37,679
Speaker 1: that loss and just get better moving forward. So so Kyle, Um.

197
00:09:37,760 --> 00:09:40,439
Speaker 1: Draft fans out there follow this thing real closely. They

198
00:09:40,440 --> 00:09:42,840
Speaker 1: hear what Daniel has to think about guys and Bucky

199
00:09:42,880 --> 00:09:44,840
Speaker 1: has to think about guys. But I want to hear

200
00:09:44,880 --> 00:09:47,880
Speaker 1: from you, guy that throws in the football. You from

201
00:09:47,880 --> 00:09:50,720

Speaker 1: gonna be coming here to mobile with you. Um. Well,

204
00:09:56,640 --> 00:09:58,360
Speaker 1: first of all, I just want to say they're extremely

205
00:09:58,360 --> 00:10:01,480
Speaker 1: hard workers. You know, they've earned everything you see them

206
00:10:01,480 --> 00:10:05,640
Speaker 1: do on Saturday. Um, you know, from the offseason to

207

Speaker 1: you know, treatment to you know, just taking care of

208
00:10:08,000 --> 00:10:10,760
Speaker 1: their bodies, and it all really just shows on Saturdays

209
00:10:10,760 --> 00:10:12,800
Speaker 1: when you see him make them plays. They've truly earned it.

210
00:10:13,280 --> 00:10:15,640
Speaker 1: And you know, lastly, I just want to say they're

211
00:10:16,160 --> 00:10:18,600
Speaker 1: you know, they're great people. They're very explosive. You know,

212
00:10:18,880 --> 00:10:23,640
Speaker 1: Darius Um, I still don't know how I'm still yet

213
00:10:23,679 --> 00:10:26,120
Speaker 1: to see a team that can successfully cover him one

214
00:10:26,120 --> 00:10:29,240
Speaker 1: on one because he's just so shifty. And you know,

215
00:10:29,320 --> 00:10:31,920
Speaker 1: Trey Grimes is such strong hands, you can go up

216
00:10:31,920 --> 00:10:36,520
Speaker 1: with anybody in America. So they're just um two overall,

217
00:10:36,600 --> 00:10:39,000
Speaker 1: just special players. Well, we look forward to seeing your

218
00:10:39,000 --> 00:10:41,480
Speaker 1: connection with them, and we wish you the best of

219
00:10:41,600 --> 00:10:45,360
Speaker 1: luck against Alabama and the SEC Championship game. And I

220
00:10:45,360 --> 00:10:47,360
Speaker 1: can't wait to see the Anomobile. Kyle, thanks for hanging

221
00:10:47,360 --> 00:10:51,440
Speaker 1: out with us today. Absolutely thanks for having me. Great

222
00:10:51,440 --> 00:10:53,840
Speaker 1: the chat there with Kyle Trask. Now, looking among the

223
00:10:53,960 --> 00:10:58,520
Speaker 1: five quarterbacks committed so far to the Reese's Senior Bowl,

224
00:10:58,760 --> 00:11:00,280
Speaker 1: I know, Jim you said you want to see eight,

225
00:11:00,280 --> 00:11:02,160
Speaker 1: but already with these first five, it's a great start.

226
00:11:02,240 --> 00:11:05,760
Speaker 1: Some real intrigue with these guys, including Jamie Newman. Of course,

227
00:11:05,760 --> 00:11:08,720
Speaker 1: transferred from Wake Forest to Georgia, but never played as

228
00:11:09,040 --> 00:11:12,760
Speaker 1: a Bulldog, instead choosing to opt out of this season.

229
00:11:12,760 --> 00:11:15,640
Speaker 1: But let's start with Ian Book. Open up the book

230
00:11:15,679 --> 00:11:17,440
Speaker 1: for us on Ian and what you're excited to see

231
00:11:17,440 --> 00:11:21,959
Speaker 1: from him downomobile. Yeah, we're really excited. Uh Ian's playing

232
00:11:21,960 --> 00:11:23,560
Speaker 1: in the game and read. I'll bring it back to

233
00:11:23,600 --> 00:11:25,040
Speaker 1: a couple of summers ago when we were at the

234
00:11:25,080 --> 00:11:28,440
Speaker 1: manicamp together. Um, that was my first exposure to Ian

235
00:11:28,480 --> 00:11:31,199
Speaker 1: Book and Uh, as DJ and Bucky. Know, when you

236
00:11:31,240 --> 00:11:34,400
Speaker 1: scott the quarterback position, it starts with the feat right, UM.

237
00:11:34,440 --> 00:11:37,199
Speaker 1: And just remember seeing Ian on the practice field that

238
00:11:37,280 --> 00:11:39,760
Speaker 1: day and just how bouncy he was as an athlete. Um,

239
00:11:39,800 --> 00:11:42,320
Speaker 1: that that's really where it started for me. And then

240
00:11:42,320 --> 00:11:44,199
Speaker 1: you watched him the last couple of years and him

241
00:11:44,240 --> 00:11:47,160
Speaker 1: to develop. Um. You know, Coach Kelly has talked about

242
00:11:47,400 --> 00:11:49,360
Speaker 1: how many games he's won and what a great job

243
00:11:49,400 --> 00:11:51,640
Speaker 1: he's done leading that program. But to me, it's one

244
00:11:51,640 --> 00:11:53,920
Speaker 1: of those guys he's made a really nice late career

245
00:11:54,000 --> 00:11:57,439
Speaker 1: jump in his overall play. UM, just become more consistent,

246
00:11:57,800 --> 00:12:00,320
Speaker 1: his field has gotten better for the position, UM in

247
00:12:00,360 --> 00:12:03,600
Speaker 1: the pocket, moving around. He's really an underrated athlete. I

248
00:12:03,600 --> 00:12:05,640
Speaker 1: think he can do a lot with his legs. So yeah,

249
00:12:05,679 --> 00:12:07,520
Speaker 1: he's He's a guy who really excited to get down

250
00:12:07,520 --> 00:12:11,400
Speaker 1: here to mobile. You know, Jim, I'm excited to see

251
00:12:11,400 --> 00:12:13,920
Speaker 1: ian Book, but I'm also excited to see Sam Ellinger.

252
00:12:14,400 --> 00:12:17,040
Speaker 1: When I watched it here from Texas play. He checks

253
00:12:17,040 --> 00:12:20,079
Speaker 1: off a lot of boxes. He's tough, he's smart, he's athletic,

254
00:12:20,280 --> 00:12:22,880
Speaker 1: he's super competitive, and he has put this team on

255
00:12:22,960 --> 00:12:25,760
Speaker 1: his back in key moments. I'm excited to see how

256
00:12:25,800 --> 00:12:30,360
Speaker 1: he competes in a big time atmosphere down into senior Bowls. Yeah,

257
00:12:30,360 --> 00:12:32,440
Speaker 1: Sam Ellinger is one of those guys. I feel like

258
00:12:32,440 --> 00:12:34,679
Speaker 1: we've watched him at Texas for the last ten years.

259
00:12:35,440 --> 00:12:37,719
Speaker 1: Very one of those guys. You know. I got a

260
00:12:37,760 --> 00:12:40,320
Speaker 1: couple more guys, and Kellen Mond is one in the

261
00:12:40,400 --> 00:12:43,120
Speaker 1: same state there at Texas A and M who feels

262
00:12:43,120 --> 00:12:45,600
Speaker 1: like he's been their quarterback for Jimbo Fisher down there

263
00:12:45,640 --> 00:12:48,760
Speaker 1: for about a decade. But he's somebody Jim talked about

264
00:12:48,760 --> 00:12:51,000
Speaker 1: Ian Book continue to progress and to get better year

265
00:12:51,000 --> 00:12:52,560
Speaker 1: after year. I think you said the same thing about

266
00:12:52,640 --> 00:12:55,000
Speaker 1: Kellen Mond. He has all all the traits that you

267
00:12:55,040 --> 00:12:58,400
Speaker 1: look for with the size, the arm strength, the athleticism.

268
00:12:58,400 --> 00:13:00,600
Speaker 1: He's cleaned up some of the decision making this year,

269
00:13:00,600 --> 00:13:02,319
Speaker 1: and I think you've seen Texas A and M as

270
00:13:02,320 --> 00:13:05,400
Speaker 1: a team make that leap forward based largely on the

271
00:13:05,440 --> 00:13:09,440
Speaker 1: improvements from Kellen Mond and then another quarterback with traits

272
00:13:09,520 --> 00:13:12,440
Speaker 1: that's very intriguing. Htt You mentioned him there at the top,

273
00:13:12,440 --> 00:13:15,319
Speaker 1: but that's Jamie Newman watching him at Wake Forest. I

274
00:13:15,360 --> 00:13:19,240
Speaker 1: remember over the summer watching their talented wide receiver down

275
00:13:19,280 --> 00:13:21,520
Speaker 1: their surat who opped out of this of this year

276
00:13:21,559 --> 00:13:23,960
Speaker 1: as well, And Jamie Newman just kind of knows. This

277
00:13:23,960 --> 00:13:26,719
Speaker 1: guy's big, he can move around, he makes good decisions.

278
00:13:26,760 --> 00:13:29,200
Speaker 1: He had he was productive in some big games for them.

279
00:13:29,559 --> 00:13:32,600
Speaker 1: Uh there at wake Makes he transfers to Georgia. We're

280
00:13:32,640 --> 00:13:34,960
Speaker 1: excited to watch him this year played for the Bulldogs

281
00:13:35,000 --> 00:13:37,440
Speaker 1: and he decides the last minute, no, he's not going

282
00:13:37,480 --> 00:13:40,040
Speaker 1: to play due to the pandemic. And this is gonna

283
00:13:40,040 --> 00:13:41,880
Speaker 1: be the first opportunity to get to see him in

284
00:13:41,920 --> 00:13:44,080
Speaker 1: about a year. So this is gonna be a huge,

285
00:13:44,200 --> 00:13:47,719
Speaker 1: huge platform for him in the evaluation process. Well, it

286
00:13:47,720 --> 00:13:49,839
Speaker 1: would be a great opportunity for us to see Jamie

287
00:13:49,880 --> 00:13:52,120
Speaker 1: Newman and the rest of these quarterbacks trying to make

288
00:13:52,320 --> 00:13:56,520
Speaker 1: their mark on the NFL scouting community and the Senior Bowls.

289
00:13:56,559 --> 00:13:58,040
Speaker 1: I'm back here with you only moved the stick Senior

Speaker 1: Bowl accepted invites at running back, which includes the Oklahoma

292
00:14:04,200 --> 00:14:06,640
Speaker 1: transfer Trace Sermon finishing his career is part of a

293
00:14:06,679 --> 00:14:10,320
Speaker 1: one two punch and limited action for Ohio State this year.

294
00:14:10,400 --> 00:14:12,880
Speaker 1: Also get a chance to see Missouri's all time leading

295

Speaker 1: rusher as a running back. Uh and Larry around tree

296
00:14:17,480 --> 00:14:20,040
Speaker 1: the third gym. I know, I'm kind of excited to

297
00:14:20,080 --> 00:14:22,280
Speaker 1: see this Missouri Tiger get down to Mobile. What do

298
00:14:22,320 --> 00:14:25,760
Speaker 1: we expect from him? Yeah, Ratt, We're excited about this

299
00:14:25,800 --> 00:14:28,280
Speaker 1: whole group. Usually this is one position group for the

300
00:14:28,320 --> 00:14:30,120
Speaker 1: Senior Bowl. That's tough to get a lot of these,

301
00:14:30,160 --> 00:14:33,240
Speaker 1: you know, really talented running backs jump as juniors. We're

302
00:14:33,240 --> 00:14:35,000
Speaker 1: just we're just lucky this year that a lot of

303
00:14:35,000 --> 00:14:36,840
Speaker 1: these guys stayed in and a lot of them made

304
00:14:36,840 --> 00:14:40,200
Speaker 1: a nice late career jumps um. But with Larry really

305
00:14:40,240 --> 00:14:42,120
Speaker 1: excited about his game, I think he's one of the

306
00:14:42,160 --> 00:14:45,160
Speaker 1: most underrated players in college football. As you can see

307
00:14:45,160 --> 00:14:47,120
Speaker 1: on the video. I mean, he's got burst, he's got

308
00:14:47,240 --> 00:14:49,800
Speaker 1: contact balance. He's one of those guys that to me,

309
00:14:49,920 --> 00:14:52,520
Speaker 1: has that ideal running back body type in terms of

310
00:14:52,560 --> 00:14:55,240
Speaker 1: being compact, kind of load to the ground. He bounces

311
00:14:55,320 --> 00:14:57,960
Speaker 1: out off a lot of stuff, and really the bottom line,

312
00:14:58,000 --> 00:14:59,600
Speaker 1: he's just a hard guy to get on the ground.

313
00:14:59,760 --> 00:15:02,480
Speaker 1: So to see what he's done in the sec over

314
00:15:02,560 --> 00:15:05,400
Speaker 1: his career and this year with some monster games, Um,

315
00:15:05,480 --> 00:15:07,360
Speaker 1: this was a big gut for us. You know, Jim,

316
00:15:07,400 --> 00:15:10,000
Speaker 1: I'm always excited to see a TAR. He'll included on

317
00:15:10,040 --> 00:15:14,480
Speaker 1: the list. Michael Carter running back is really outstanding. He's

318
00:15:14,480 --> 00:15:18,240
Speaker 1: had a fantastics final season at Carolina and when I

319
00:15:18,280 --> 00:15:21,320
Speaker 1: look at him, I really like his toughness, his physicality,

320
00:15:21,440 --> 00:15:24,240
Speaker 1: his ability to run inside and outside. But really he's

321
00:15:24,280 --> 00:15:27,480
Speaker 1: an underrated pass catcher out of the backfield. And as

322
00:15:27,480 --> 00:15:30,000
Speaker 1: we look at the game evolving and how people are

323
00:15:30,080 --> 00:15:33,640
Speaker 1: using the running backs as playmakers, I think Michael Carter

324
00:15:33,840 --> 00:15:36,200
Speaker 1: offers some of that. He is going to be an

325
00:15:36,240 --> 00:15:39,600
Speaker 1: intriguing prospect to monitor when he gets his opportunity to

326
00:15:39,600 --> 00:15:42,160
Speaker 1: do his thing down in Mobile and he's running back

327
00:15:42,160 --> 00:15:44,880
Speaker 1: prospects can look at last year. One of last year's

328
00:15:44,920 --> 00:15:48,320
Speaker 1: running backs down to Mobile, Antonio Gibson, as what kind

329
00:15:48,320 --> 00:15:50,960
Speaker 1: of impact the Senior Bowl weekend have on you doing

330
00:15:51,000 --> 00:15:53,600
Speaker 1: great things? Gibson is for the Washington football team in

331
00:15:53,640 --> 00:15:56,720
Speaker 1: his rookie season. Okay, let's get to the pass catchers here,

332
00:15:56,720 --> 00:16:00,120
Speaker 1: starting with your wide outs that are going to sing

333
00:16:00,160 --> 00:16:02,360
Speaker 1: your bowl. You now know about the talented Florida pass

334
00:16:02,400 --> 00:16:05,520
Speaker 1: catchers Senior Bowl bound, as we heard from Kyle Trast

335
00:16:05,560 --> 00:16:08,640
Speaker 1: their quarterback arguably Michigan's best offensive player this year. Nico

336
00:16:08,720 --> 00:16:11,720
Speaker 1: Collins opted out of the season, but will showcase his

337
00:16:11,760 --> 00:16:14,840
Speaker 1: skills in Mobile. How about you a vs. Austin Watkins Jr.

338
00:16:15,160 --> 00:16:17,360
Speaker 1: A cousin of Chiefs why out Sammy Watkins and one

339
00:16:17,360 --> 00:16:20,720
Speaker 1: of the toughest covers in Conference USA the last two years.

340
00:16:21,240 --> 00:16:23,680
Speaker 1: Also heading to Mobile guy no stranger to Pulitan, a

Speaker 1: to see you down in Mobile and it's been so

346
00:16:40,920 --> 00:16:44,120
Speaker 1: fun to watch you, whether it's in still Water, around

347
00:16:44,120 --> 00:16:46,840
Speaker 1: the Big Twelve here throughout your entire career, such an

348
00:16:46,840 --> 00:16:50,720
Speaker 1: explosive player, And I loved this though about what's your

349
00:16:50,720 --> 00:16:53,960
Speaker 1: head coach Mike Gundy said about you recently said, in

350
00:16:54,000 --> 00:16:56,800
Speaker 1: his opinion, he's made your football team so much better

351
00:16:56,920 --> 00:17:01,760
Speaker 1: in the competitive leadership standpoint. Give me a sense of

352
00:17:01,800 --> 00:17:04,760
Speaker 1: what that means to you and how you describe yourself

353
00:17:04,800 --> 00:17:08,600
Speaker 1: amongst your teammates. Um, just you know, obviously to get

354
00:17:08,600 --> 00:17:11,359
Speaker 1: a comment from hey coach like that, that means a

355
00:17:11,440 --> 00:17:14,080
Speaker 1: lot to me. But I think a lot of it

356
00:17:14,240 --> 00:17:16,639
Speaker 1: just come to back when I was little. That was

357
00:17:16,720 --> 00:17:18,879
Speaker 1: how it's raised on the game. Was always compete up

358
00:17:18,920 --> 00:17:21,160
Speaker 1: there and give it you're all in. Um, gotta give

359
00:17:21,200 --> 00:17:23,480
Speaker 1: credit to my twin brother, you know, having him by

360
00:17:23,480 --> 00:17:25,960
Speaker 1: my side my whole life, that definitely helped me a lot.

361
00:17:26,680 --> 00:17:29,679
Speaker 1: Um with him doing everything I'm doing, what it's playing sports,

362
00:17:29,720 --> 00:17:32,720
Speaker 1: running track, playing football, whatever it is, He's always there

363
00:17:32,720 --> 00:17:34,280
Speaker 1: by my side and we're just going back and forth

364
00:17:34,280 --> 00:17:36,240
Speaker 1: in competing. So I have to, you know, give a

365
00:17:36,240 --> 00:17:38,359
Speaker 1: little credit to him as well. Tyland. Let me start

366
00:17:38,359 --> 00:17:40,520
Speaker 1: by saying, we're excited to get you down here to Mobile.

367
00:17:40,920 --> 00:17:42,600
Speaker 1: When you and I were going back and forth about

368
00:17:42,600 --> 00:17:45,639
Speaker 1: a month ago about coming down here. Uh, really excited

369
00:17:45,640 --> 00:17:48,480
Speaker 1: to finally get you down and get you signed up. Um,

370
00:17:48,520 --> 00:17:50,960
Speaker 1: just talking about your game. I think the school lists

371
00:17:51,040 --> 00:17:53,080
Speaker 1: you at six ft a hundred and eighty five pounds

372
00:17:53,080 --> 00:17:56,040
Speaker 1: whatever that is, Um, not the biggest, not the but

373
00:17:56,119 --> 00:17:58,479
Speaker 1: you put on the tape and you play bigger than that.

374
00:17:58,520 --> 00:18:00,560
Speaker 1: You play stronger than that. To me, you're one of

375
00:18:00,600 --> 00:18:02,920
Speaker 1: those guys from a scouts take is like throw out

376
00:18:02,920 --> 00:18:06,080
Speaker 1: the measurables, just focus on what the tape looks like. UM,

377
00:18:06,400 --> 00:18:08,240
Speaker 1: can just talk about your game and what you think

378
00:18:08,280 --> 00:18:11,080
Speaker 1: your strengths are. Bring what you're gonna bring to Mobile

379
00:18:11,280 --> 00:18:13,879
Speaker 1: And definitely I think you know that. Like I was saying,

380
00:18:13,920 --> 00:18:16,080
Speaker 1: I gotta give a lot of credit to just how

381
00:18:16,119 --> 00:18:18,000
Speaker 1: I was raised upon the game. I was always great

382
00:18:18,080 --> 00:18:20,800
Speaker 1: to be competitive, to always go out there and be physical.

383
00:18:20,880 --> 00:18:22,280
Speaker 1: You know. I feel like a lot of people look

384
00:18:22,280 --> 00:18:25,840
Speaker 1: at receivers and see them as devas or anything like that,

385
00:18:25,880 --> 00:18:29,480
Speaker 1: but that's not how great to play the game. So um, yeah,

386
00:18:29,640 --> 00:18:31,680
Speaker 1: a few key strengts I think for me is definitely

387
00:18:31,720 --> 00:18:34,159
Speaker 1: a high point in the football and and as well

388
00:18:34,200 --> 00:18:36,760
Speaker 1: as blocking. I think those are just things that I

389
00:18:36,800 --> 00:18:39,560
Speaker 1: think a lot of receivers don't bring the real physical

390
00:18:39,640 --> 00:18:41,399
Speaker 1: aspect of the game too. When I try to do

391
00:18:41,440 --> 00:18:43,880
Speaker 1: that in my game, Tylan. You know, going down there

392
00:18:44,320 --> 00:18:46,720
Speaker 1: to Mobile as a bolitic Cough finalists and we'll see

393
00:18:46,720 --> 00:18:49,000
Speaker 1: hopefully end up bringing home the hardware there. You're gonna

394
00:18:49,000 --> 00:18:50,680
Speaker 1: be a marked man. These corners are gonna want to

395
00:18:50,760 --> 00:18:53,119
Speaker 1: challenge you, They want to test themselves. Are you looking

396
00:18:53,200 --> 00:18:55,560
Speaker 1: forward to that one on one battle you're gonna get

397
00:18:55,560 --> 00:18:59,479
Speaker 1: on a daily basis down there in Mobile? Oh yeah, definitely,

398
00:18:59,480 --> 00:19:01,120
Speaker 1: of course. You know. I always love to go out

399
00:19:01,119 --> 00:19:03,640
Speaker 1: there and compete, so, um, you can't wait to get

400
00:19:03,640 --> 00:19:05,879
Speaker 1: out here and just or everybody what I can do,

401
00:19:05,920 --> 00:19:07,760
Speaker 1: you know, telling and thinking about what you can do.

402
00:19:07,840 --> 00:19:10,760
Speaker 1: One of the things that's really impressed, uh, that I've

403
00:19:10,800 --> 00:19:13,760
Speaker 1: seen that's really impressive is your route running ability. When

404
00:19:13,840 --> 00:19:16,400
Speaker 1: you look ahead to the NFL and guys that are

405
00:19:16,400 --> 00:19:19,720
Speaker 1: able to do it, route runners are really dominating. What

406
00:19:19,880 --> 00:19:22,480
Speaker 1: is it about your running ability to separates you from others?

407
00:19:23,720 --> 00:19:26,359
Speaker 1: I think me a part of also bringing back the

408
00:19:26,359 --> 00:19:28,920
Speaker 1: physicality part of it. I feel like when I'm kind

409
00:19:28,920 --> 00:19:31,000
Speaker 1: of running my routes, I like to be physical with

410
00:19:31,119 --> 00:19:33,360
Speaker 1: the TV's women to me, so I feel like, um,

411
00:19:33,359 --> 00:19:35,119
Speaker 1: a key thing I'd like to bring to that is,

412
00:19:35,160 --> 00:19:37,440
Speaker 1: you know, bringing that physical aspect in all parts of

413
00:19:37,440 --> 00:19:40,440
Speaker 1: the game, no matter what it is, whether it's being running,

414
00:19:40,520 --> 00:19:42,800
Speaker 1: rounte blocking, no matter what anything it is. I like

415
00:19:42,840 --> 00:19:45,440
Speaker 1: to bring that just being physical for no matter what. Well,

416
00:19:45,720 --> 00:19:49,520
Speaker 1: DJ mentioned the Blittnic costs, and Uh, Oklahoma State, I

417
00:19:49,560 --> 00:19:51,840
Speaker 1: guess could be considered blitic cough. You, I think the

418
00:19:51,880 --> 00:19:56,200
Speaker 1: only FBS school with three Bulletnic cough winners, justin Blackman

419
00:19:56,240 --> 00:19:59,560
Speaker 1: having won it twice and then Senior Bowl um James

420
00:19:59,560 --> 00:20:03,199
Speaker 1: washing Eton also winning it. And You've got a shot

421
00:20:03,520 --> 00:20:06,000
Speaker 1: uh this year. And look, I think it's I think

422
00:20:06,000 --> 00:20:08,880
Speaker 1: it's pretty cool because your production has positioned you among

423
00:20:09,560 --> 00:20:12,760
Speaker 1: those greats in Oklahoma State Cowboy history, whether it's for

424
00:20:12,840 --> 00:20:16,159
Speaker 1: Shaun Woods, Dez Bryant, Blackman, James Washington. What does that

425
00:20:16,240 --> 00:20:18,760
Speaker 1: kind of recognition mean to you, the world to me?

426
00:20:18,840 --> 00:20:21,800
Speaker 1: I mean, obviously coming in you, I've always heard about

427
00:20:21,800 --> 00:20:25,040
Speaker 1: those guys, Um, the greats, the great receiving corps that

428
00:20:25,240 --> 00:20:28,040
Speaker 1: uh always you produced is here and uh that's part

429
00:20:28,040 --> 00:20:30,159
Speaker 1: of the reason why I came here. And just to

430
00:20:30,200 --> 00:20:32,880
Speaker 1: be mentioned in the names with all those guys, it's

431
00:20:32,880 --> 00:20:35,480
Speaker 1: really just an honor and a blessing just a you know,

432
00:20:35,720 --> 00:20:38,600
Speaker 1: even be in the talk with guys like that. So

433
00:20:38,640 --> 00:20:40,840
Speaker 1: I'm just really blessed to be in this position, Tyler.

434
00:20:40,840 --> 00:20:43,000
Speaker 1: When you get down in Mobile, you're gonna sit across

435
00:20:43,040 --> 00:20:46,320
Speaker 1: from these scouts and general managers. And one question there

436
00:20:46,359 --> 00:20:49,160
Speaker 1: they always ask is who do you pattern your game after?

437
00:20:49,440 --> 00:20:51,400
Speaker 1: Is there anyone at the next level that you watch

438
00:20:51,480 --> 00:20:53,520
Speaker 1: on tape that that you try to take some stuff from?

439
00:20:53,680 --> 00:20:55,800
Speaker 1: You know, I think all over the place you try

440
00:20:55,840 --> 00:20:58,119
Speaker 1: to take key things just from each of the top guys.

441
00:20:58,160 --> 00:21:01,520
Speaker 1: Obviously out of the guys out of there now, but um,

442
00:21:01,560 --> 00:21:05,240
Speaker 1: I think coming into before I got here, I watched

443
00:21:05,240 --> 00:21:07,280
Speaker 1: a lot of Deaz Bryant, and I think I feel

444
00:21:07,320 --> 00:21:08,920
Speaker 1: like I tried to model a lot of my game

445
00:21:08,960 --> 00:21:12,439
Speaker 1: after him. So, um, I think a key thing for

446
00:21:12,560 --> 00:21:15,080
Speaker 1: me coming the way the reason why I played the

447
00:21:15,080 --> 00:21:17,240
Speaker 1: way I played because watching him and the way he

448
00:21:17,280 --> 00:21:19,639
Speaker 1: played the game is kind of what I'm modeled my

449
00:21:19,720 --> 00:21:22,600
Speaker 1: game at. Another one of those questions you'll get from

450
00:21:22,600 --> 00:21:24,399
Speaker 1: everybody to talk to down there is they want to

451
00:21:24,400 --> 00:21:26,399
Speaker 1: know about adversity, that you've been through it and what

452
00:21:26,440 --> 00:21:28,760
Speaker 1: you've done to overcome it. Is there any any adversity

453
00:21:28,760 --> 00:21:30,359
Speaker 1: you can think of on the field or off the

454
00:21:30,359 --> 00:21:33,320
Speaker 1: field that comes to your mind. Oh yeah, I mean

455
00:21:33,840 --> 00:21:36,560
Speaker 1: obviously me last year tearing my e c oh, that

456
00:21:36,680 --> 00:21:39,680
Speaker 1: was a big hit for me. I've never been seriously

457
00:21:39,680 --> 00:21:42,119
Speaker 1: injured like that before until that happened to me. So

458
00:21:42,200 --> 00:21:44,800
Speaker 1: that was a big thing this offseason, especially with that

459
00:21:45,000 --> 00:21:47,920
Speaker 1: in um COVID nineteen. That had a lot of impact

460
00:21:47,960 --> 00:21:50,640
Speaker 1: on me and my rehab process. But um, I attacked

461
00:21:50,640 --> 00:21:53,399
Speaker 1: it the best I could, went out there and tried

462
00:21:53,440 --> 00:21:55,560
Speaker 1: to come back and be the guy that I was

463
00:21:56,080 --> 00:21:59,080
Speaker 1: the year before. So I feel like that was a

464
00:21:59,160 --> 00:22:01,000
Speaker 1: key thing for me on into this year is being

465
00:22:01,040 --> 00:22:03,800
Speaker 1: able to prove everybody that you know, I'm still the

466
00:22:03,800 --> 00:22:06,120
Speaker 1: same guy that I used to speak for sure. Thailand Wallace,

467
00:22:06,280 --> 00:22:09,359
Speaker 1: Oklahoma State Cowboys joining us here on the move the

468

Speaker 1: thanks for having me. Alright, guys, let's continue the conversation now.

473
00:22:24,119 --> 00:22:26,520
Speaker 1: On the wide out group heading down to Mobile, we

474
00:22:26,560 --> 00:22:29,879
Speaker 1: heard Kyle Trask's Kyle Trash scouting report on his two

475
00:22:29,920 --> 00:22:32,080
Speaker 1: teammates at White Out that are gonna be at the

476
00:22:32,119 --> 00:22:34,520
Speaker 1: Senior Bowl. Bucky, I want to get your take on

477
00:22:34,560 --> 00:22:37,320
Speaker 1: these guys, starting with Trayvon Grimes. Give us a sense

478
00:22:37,359 --> 00:22:40,080
Speaker 1: of what you expect to see from him. Oh, I

479
00:22:40,119 --> 00:22:43,040
Speaker 1: spake Traybon Ground would be a dominant performer. Having watched

480
00:22:43,119 --> 00:22:45,040
Speaker 1: him since he was in high school. He has a

481
00:22:45,040 --> 00:22:49,000
Speaker 1: lot of the traits that NFL executives will love. He's big,

482
00:22:49,040 --> 00:22:54,200
Speaker 1: he's physical, he has great hands, wins contested bolls, and

483
00:22:54,480 --> 00:22:56,919
Speaker 1: he has a physicality about him that is going to

484
00:22:57,000 --> 00:22:59,720
Speaker 1: make him a natural number one receiver. Uh. Some I

485
00:22:59,800 --> 00:23:02,000
Speaker 1: think will compare him to like a poor man's Mike

486
00:23:02,040 --> 00:23:04,920
Speaker 1: Kevin's in terms of his ability to play big down

487
00:23:04,920 --> 00:23:07,240
Speaker 1: the field. And Jim, how about his teammate there's running,

488
00:23:07,320 --> 00:23:11,120
Speaker 1: He's running mate. Yeah. Similar to what Bucky said about seeing, uh,

489
00:23:11,320 --> 00:23:14,000
Speaker 1: seeing Tray since high school, I've been watching Candarius Tony

490
00:23:14,040 --> 00:23:16,520
Speaker 1: since high school here in Mobile. Uh. I kind of

491
00:23:16,560 --> 00:23:19,560
Speaker 1: compared him to a cross between Deebo Samuel and Dante Hall,

492
00:23:19,680 --> 00:23:22,240
Speaker 1: the old Chiefs receiver. Uh. You know, he's got that

493
00:23:22,359 --> 00:23:25,000
Speaker 1: short area change of direction to make you miss and

494
00:23:25,040 --> 00:23:27,400
Speaker 1: then he's got that power in a small body. He's

495
00:23:27,400 --> 00:23:30,040
Speaker 1: got that power that Deebo Samuel has. So one of

496
00:23:30,040 --> 00:23:32,600
Speaker 1: the top playmakers in college football this year, he's gonna

497
00:23:32,640 --> 00:23:35,440
Speaker 1: put on a show in Mobile. And someone in similar

498
00:23:35,440 --> 00:23:37,560
Speaker 1: to him UM that's really had a bust out year

499
00:23:37,600 --> 00:23:40,400
Speaker 1: for Western Michigan is d Eskridge. He looks like he's

500
00:23:40,400 --> 00:23:43,119
Speaker 1: playing at a completely different speed than everyone else on

501
00:23:43,160 --> 00:23:45,600
Speaker 1: the field in the MAC this year, U'm gonna run

502
00:23:45,640 --> 00:23:48,639
Speaker 1: for three. Has been dynamic in the return game and

503
00:23:48,760 --> 00:23:51,680
Speaker 1: that receiver so right now, you don't hear Escridge talked

504
00:23:51,720 --> 00:23:54,639
Speaker 1: about UM with this upperrationalne receivers, and I feel like

505
00:23:54,680 --> 00:23:57,320
Speaker 1: coming out of Mobile, you will this is a good group.

506
00:23:57,320 --> 00:23:58,720
Speaker 1: You have a simbled here, Jim. I would just had

507
00:23:58,720 --> 00:24:01,480
Speaker 1: one more Mari Rodgers, who is an ideal slot somebody

508
00:24:01,520 --> 00:24:03,320
Speaker 1: you can use on some of the fly sweeps as

509
00:24:03,320 --> 00:24:05,400
Speaker 1: well as let him separate in the middle of the field.

510
00:24:05,440 --> 00:24:06,880
Speaker 1: It's gonna be fun to watch him and the one

511
00:24:06,880 --> 00:24:09,320
Speaker 1: on ones. But overall, this is an impressive group of

512
00:24:09,320 --> 00:24:12,600
Speaker 1: whiteouts you've put together. Guys. Let's also look now at

513
00:24:12,600 --> 00:24:16,800
Speaker 1: the tight end group heading to Mobile. Kyle Grantson of

514
00:24:17,040 --> 00:24:19,520
Speaker 1: s MU is a terrific story. Was that a real

515
00:24:19,600 --> 00:24:22,240
Speaker 1: crossroads in his football career. After leading Rice, he found

516
00:24:22,240 --> 00:24:24,840
Speaker 1: to home at SMU. Productive all on the field, sixteen

517
00:24:24,880 --> 00:24:28,400
Speaker 1: career touchdowns, productive off it, he started his own nonprofit

518
00:24:28,520 --> 00:24:32,119
Speaker 1: organization called KGS Kids to inspire children to develop the

519
00:24:32,160 --> 00:24:35,240
Speaker 1: same love of reading that Kyle has enjoyed his whole life.

520
00:24:35,440 --> 00:24:38,400
Speaker 1: Really cool story. They're for to seeing that crew down

521
00:24:38,400 --> 00:24:42,320
Speaker 1: a tight end in Mobile. Well when it comes to

522
00:24:42,320 --> 00:24:45,119
Speaker 1: the Reese's Senior Bowl, that's two twenty one edition. It

523
00:24:45,160 --> 00:24:47,600
Speaker 1: is gonna be a Notre Dame affair. You see here

524
00:24:47,640 --> 00:24:50,560
Speaker 1: on the list, six Notre Dame players are gonna be

00:24:50,600 --> 00:24:54,080
Speaker 1: in Mobile to compete with the finest in the country.

526
00:24:54,119 --> 00:24:56,240
Speaker 1: And we couldn't be more excited to have the head

527
00:24:56,240 --> 00:24:59,640
Speaker 1: coach of the Notre Dame Fighting Irish joining us right now,

528
00:24:59,760 --> 00:25:01,919
Speaker 1: and that is Brian Kelly, coach. I know this is

529
00:25:01,960 --> 00:25:04,640
Speaker 1: a crazy week for you. You've got Sighting Day, You've

530

538

00:25:41,160 --> 00:25:43,960
Speaker 1: the best opportunity for these young guys to to really

542
00:25:44,000 --> 00:25:47,240
Speaker 1: get a great evaluation. Well, Coach Kelly, first of all,

543
00:25:47,280 --> 00:25:49,320
Speaker 1: thank you for for being on the show today and

544
00:25:49,359 --> 00:25:53,119
Speaker 1: helping us uhio this roster. Before we kick it to Bucky,

545
00:25:53,200 --> 00:25:54,880
Speaker 1: I think he's gonna hit you up on your quarterback.

546
00:25:54,960 --> 00:25:57,040
Speaker 1: I just want to say thank you for your cooperation

547
00:25:57,080 --> 00:25:59,640
Speaker 1: throughout this fall and your staff does a great job.

548
00:25:59,720 --> 00:26:01,639
Speaker 1: So we are just here at the Senior Bowl. We're

549
00:26:01,640 --> 00:26:03,439
Speaker 1: excited to get a bunch of six more of your

550
00:26:03,440 --> 00:26:05,720
Speaker 1: guys down down here to Mobile this year. Well they'll

551
00:26:05,760 --> 00:26:08,880
Speaker 1: be there. We weren't certain that any games were gonna

552
00:26:08,880 --> 00:26:11,960
Speaker 1: be played, so to get one more game in hopefully

553
00:26:11,960 --> 00:26:14,560
Speaker 1: we've got some more left than us as well. But

554
00:26:14,680 --> 00:26:18,000
Speaker 1: they're they're excited about the opportunity, you know, coach and

555
00:26:18,160 --> 00:26:21,680
Speaker 1: talking about your program. Your quarterback in Book has been fantastic.

556
00:26:22,040 --> 00:26:24,960
Speaker 1: Win this quarterback in Notre Dame history. Share a little

557
00:26:24,960 --> 00:26:26,639
Speaker 1: bit about him and why you expect him to do

558
00:26:26,680 --> 00:26:29,000
Speaker 1: well in this environment. Well, I think, first of all,

559
00:26:29,080 --> 00:26:30,720
Speaker 1: you know, he's been in the bright lights. You know,

560
00:26:30,800 --> 00:26:34,320
Speaker 1: he's he's had the scrutiny, he's he's had people tell

561
00:26:34,400 --> 00:26:37,879
Speaker 1: him that. Uh. You know, obviously he hasn't Uh, he

562
00:26:37,920 --> 00:26:41,119
Speaker 1: hasn't done the things necessary for him to be a

563
00:26:41,160 --> 00:26:44,520
Speaker 1: great quarterback. And and certainly all he's done is win

564
00:26:44,640 --> 00:26:47,960
Speaker 1: football games. And so you know it's again, you know,

565
00:26:48,320 --> 00:26:50,760
Speaker 1: beauties in the eye of the beholder. But as a

566
00:26:50,760 --> 00:26:54,720
Speaker 1: head football coach for me, you know, thirty career wins,

567
00:26:54,920 --> 00:26:59,040
Speaker 1: most in school history, big wins. Uh. Look, you know,

568
00:26:59,119 --> 00:27:02,840
Speaker 1: taking your football team down against Clemson, the normal one

569
00:27:02,840 --> 00:27:05,040
Speaker 1: team in the country, with uh, you know, a minute

570
00:27:05,119 --> 00:27:08,400
Speaker 1: nine left on your six yard line. Uh, Ian Book

571
00:27:08,480 --> 00:27:11,000
Speaker 1: is that kind of player. Uh. You can see him

572
00:27:11,040 --> 00:27:14,560
Speaker 1: in the pocket. He's got great feet, keeps plays alive

573
00:27:15,160 --> 00:27:18,760
Speaker 1: uh and just has the ability uh. And that's savvy

574
00:27:18,800 --> 00:27:22,720
Speaker 1: to make un necessary Coach Notre Dame has done a

575
00:27:22,760 --> 00:27:24,560
Speaker 1: great job. We've talked to you about this over the

576
00:27:24,640 --> 00:27:27,199
Speaker 1: years of producing offensive lineman. We've got two in this

577
00:27:27,240 --> 00:27:30,159
Speaker 1: game with Robert Hainze and Liam Eichenberg. I want to

578
00:27:30,160 --> 00:27:32,840
Speaker 1: ask you about Eichenberg specifically in terms of the tackles.

579
00:27:32,840 --> 00:27:35,200
Speaker 1: I know a lot of guys when I watched him, UM,

580
00:27:35,320 --> 00:27:37,320
Speaker 1: I jotted down some comparisons to some of the other

581
00:27:37,320 --> 00:27:38,960
Speaker 1: guys that you've had there. But I'd love to get

582
00:27:39,000 --> 00:27:41,719
Speaker 1: your take just how these two players stack up with

583
00:27:41,760 --> 00:27:43,040
Speaker 1: some of the other guys you've had that have gone

584
00:27:43,080 --> 00:27:46,040
Speaker 1: on to have tremendous success at the next level. So Aickenberg,

585
00:27:46,200 --> 00:27:48,199
Speaker 1: I mean, one of the things that he brings I

586
00:27:48,240 --> 00:27:51,480
Speaker 1: think that is similar to the other guys is length.

587
00:27:51,560 --> 00:27:55,840
Speaker 1: But more importantly, Uh, he's very physical at the point

588
00:27:55,840 --> 00:27:58,600
Speaker 1: of attack. UM. And both of the guys that we're

589
00:27:58,640 --> 00:28:00,720
Speaker 1: talking about in terms of compare us and you know

590
00:28:00,720 --> 00:28:04,520
Speaker 1: you're talking about Ronnie Stanley, you're talking about Mike McGlinchey

591
00:28:04,600 --> 00:28:07,200
Speaker 1: as well at the left tackle position. Both of those

592
00:28:07,200 --> 00:28:10,800
Speaker 1: guys were extremely athletic, maybe even more athletic than Liam.

593
00:28:11,320 --> 00:28:13,760
Speaker 1: Liam brings a little bit more of a point of

594
00:28:13,760 --> 00:28:19,240
Speaker 1: attack powerful uh positionally as a player, and so again

595
00:28:19,440 --> 00:28:22,680
Speaker 1: I think he is He's the next one in line Uh,

596
00:28:22,880 --> 00:28:26,240
Speaker 1: excellent path bocker, strong with his hands, can move his

597
00:28:26,280 --> 00:28:30,480
Speaker 1: feet very well, and very very smart and instinctive. As

598
00:28:30,480 --> 00:28:34,639
Speaker 1: an offensive line he has an FBI that is outstanding

599
00:28:34,680 --> 00:28:38,520
Speaker 1: in terms of how he plays in the offensive line position. Coach,

600
00:28:38,760 --> 00:28:40,960
Speaker 1: here at the Senior Bowl, we kind of where we're

601
00:28:41,040 --> 00:28:44,080
Speaker 1: kind of where college football in the NFL intersect. And

602
00:28:44,360 --> 00:28:48,040
Speaker 1: I'll say this, Ben Scronick, your wide receiver, was maybe

603
00:28:48,080 --> 00:28:50,160
Speaker 1: the best free agent signing in all of college football

604
00:28:50,160 --> 00:28:52,080
Speaker 1: this year. He's right up there with with the best

605
00:28:52,080 --> 00:28:55,040
Speaker 1: of them. Uh. Coming from Northwestern. A lot of people

606
00:28:55,120 --> 00:28:56,720
Speaker 1: might not know a lot about him, but you know

607
00:28:56,760 --> 00:29:00,560
Speaker 1: he's almost six three two and twenty pounds, gonna jumpt

608
00:29:00,640 --> 00:29:03,720
Speaker 1: in for what I'm told, but just really really good tape.

609
00:29:03,800 --> 00:29:05,680
Speaker 1: You know, the pit game, there's a there's a bunch

610
00:29:05,680 --> 00:29:07,440
Speaker 1: of games where he's come up big. Can you just

611
00:29:07,480 --> 00:29:10,040
Speaker 1: talk to us a little bit about Ben? Yeah. I

612
00:29:10,040 --> 00:29:12,320
Speaker 1: mean he's deceptive and a lot of things that he does.

613
00:29:12,400 --> 00:29:14,479
Speaker 1: I mean, you know, I think people look at him

614
00:29:14,480 --> 00:29:17,760
Speaker 1: at first take and they go okay, uh, but but

615
00:29:17,800 --> 00:29:19,760
Speaker 1: then he'll go up and get the football from you.

616
00:29:20,120 --> 00:29:24,000
Speaker 1: He's he has a a guy that will stick his

617
00:29:24,080 --> 00:29:27,200
Speaker 1: nose in there. And he will block you downfield. He

618
00:29:27,240 --> 00:29:31,200
Speaker 1: will do all the dirty jobs. He'll play on special teams. Um,

619
00:29:31,680 --> 00:29:35,080
Speaker 1: he'll go across the middle, he'll make catches. I mean, look,

620
00:29:35,160 --> 00:29:38,800
Speaker 1: I mean this guy is going to make your roster better.

621
00:29:39,040 --> 00:29:43,360
Speaker 1: I mean, and when we're talking about enhancing rosters, Uh,

622
00:29:43,480 --> 00:29:47,840
Speaker 1: is he going to be a guy that that scores

623
00:29:48,240 --> 00:29:52,040
Speaker 1: you know, will fuller like touchdowns? You know, No, he's not.

624
00:29:52,240 --> 00:29:55,400
Speaker 1: But he enhances your roster to be able to do

625
00:29:55,440 --> 00:29:57,080
Speaker 1: a little bit of everything. He could be on the

626
00:29:57,080 --> 00:29:59,440
Speaker 1: field in short yardage, he could be in the red

627
00:29:59,520 --> 00:30:02,120
Speaker 1: zone four m um. He can be a third down

628
00:30:02,200 --> 00:30:04,520
Speaker 1: guy that that you can be in a bunch set,

629
00:30:04,560 --> 00:30:07,600
Speaker 1: and he can run pivot routes with his big body.

630
00:30:07,840 --> 00:30:10,479
Speaker 1: He's just a guy that enhances your roster in so

631
00:30:10,520 --> 00:30:12,840
Speaker 1: many ways. You know, coach, flipping over to the defense

632
00:30:12,840 --> 00:30:16,040
Speaker 1: side of the ball, your captain Dale Hayes has been fantastic.

633
00:30:16,360 --> 00:30:17,880
Speaker 1: What do you like about him? How do you expect

634
00:30:17,920 --> 00:30:20,200
Speaker 1: him to perform? Well, this guy is on the rise.

635
00:30:20,400 --> 00:30:22,719
Speaker 1: I mean, that's the nice part about it. You know.

636
00:30:22,840 --> 00:30:24,760
Speaker 1: As a head coach, one of the things that that

637
00:30:24,880 --> 00:30:28,600
Speaker 1: I love watching is the development of guys later in

638
00:30:28,640 --> 00:30:32,080
Speaker 1: their career. Many times you see guys plateau out as

639
00:30:32,160 --> 00:30:34,960
Speaker 1: they kind of, you know, reach that third and fourth year.

640
00:30:35,320 --> 00:30:38,840
Speaker 1: He is now starting to reach his potential of what

641
00:30:38,880 --> 00:30:42,760
Speaker 1: we thought he would be early on. He's dynamic, he's

642
00:30:42,760 --> 00:30:46,760
Speaker 1: got great athletic ability. The game is now starting to

643
00:30:46,920 --> 00:30:50,200
Speaker 1: slow down for him. I think the game was was

644
00:30:50,360 --> 00:30:53,040
Speaker 1: one where he had to learn about it. When he

645
00:30:53,080 --> 00:30:55,920
Speaker 1: first came in, he was a raw player. He understands

646
00:30:56,000 --> 00:30:58,520
Speaker 1: the game a lot more. He has a suddenness to

647
00:30:58,600 --> 00:31:01,280
Speaker 1: him in a in a strike to him. I just

648
00:31:01,320 --> 00:31:04,760
Speaker 1: think that his his ceiling is uh is really large,

649
00:31:04,920 --> 00:31:07,760
Speaker 1: and somebody's gonna get a really good football player still

650
00:31:07,760 --> 00:31:12,720
Speaker 1: on the rise. Yeah, coach, Um, it's you're probably gonna

651
00:31:12,720 --> 00:31:15,800
Speaker 1: answer this question similarly to you just answered BUCkies. But

652
00:31:16,320 --> 00:31:20,280
Speaker 1: Odeyo Gandji on the other side your your booking and Um,

653
00:31:20,320 --> 00:31:23,360
Speaker 1: going back to last year with Khalid Kareem and Julian o'kuwara,

654
00:31:23,480 --> 00:31:25,560
Speaker 1: those are two guys we had committed to last year's

655
00:31:25,560 --> 00:31:28,480
Speaker 1: game and both got injured. Um, but you saw these

656
00:31:28,480 --> 00:31:31,040
Speaker 1: two guys coming up behind them, and you're excited to

657
00:31:31,080 --> 00:31:33,400
Speaker 1: see what it's what's it gonna look like when they've

658
00:31:33,400 --> 00:31:35,680
Speaker 1: become full time starters? Can you just come in a

659
00:31:35,720 --> 00:31:39,640
Speaker 1: little bit on audio as well. Long athletic plays with

660
00:31:39,680 --> 00:31:45,360
Speaker 1: a great motor. Um, just just a passion uh in

661
00:31:45,440 --> 00:31:48,120
Speaker 1: playing the game. And Uh, he's got a lot of

662
00:31:48,200 --> 00:31:50,800
Speaker 1: tread on the tire. He hasn't played very much football.

663
00:31:51,080 --> 00:31:54,080
Speaker 1: He was sitting behind uh two really good players for

664
00:31:54,120 --> 00:31:57,239
Speaker 1: the last three years. So again another guy that uh,

665
00:31:57,560 --> 00:32:01,760
Speaker 1: you know will continue to get bigger, faster, stronger. Um,

666
00:32:01,800 --> 00:32:04,560
Speaker 1: he's got the measurables that you want from a guy

667
00:32:04,600 --> 00:32:06,920
Speaker 1: that can play off the edge. Uh, and a guy

668
00:32:07,120 --> 00:32:09,560
Speaker 1: again that you're gonna you're gonna get on your roster.

669
00:32:09,840 --> 00:32:11,880
Speaker 1: He's gonna be able to help you and in all

670
00:32:11,960 --> 00:32:15,920
Speaker 1: phases of of the game, in terms of special teams

671
00:32:15,960 --> 00:32:18,800
Speaker 1: and uh, short yardage, he can come off the edge.

672
00:32:19,280 --> 00:32:21,400
Speaker 1: He's he's gonna be a good football player down the

673
00:32:21,440 --> 00:32:23,440
Speaker 1: road as well. Well. Coach, it seems like just last

674
00:32:23,600 --> 00:32:25,360
Speaker 1: it seems like last week we were sitting up there

Speaker 1: back a couple over the weekend and some late acceptances

699
00:33:33,520 --> 00:33:35,680
Speaker 1: for the show. Had to spice it up a little

700
00:33:35,720 --> 00:33:39,560
Speaker 1: bit and make some breaking news. We're excited about Josh Meyers. Um.

701
00:33:39,600 --> 00:33:42,080
Speaker 1: You know they treated him as a senior last week, Uh,

702
00:33:42,080 --> 00:33:44,520
Speaker 1: their last game in Columbus. He can play guard, he

703
00:33:44,560 --> 00:33:47,000
Speaker 1: can play center at the next level. Uh, definitely a

704
00:33:47,040 --> 00:33:49,600
Speaker 1: starter level guy. We're excited about him. And then Tray

705
00:33:49,640 --> 00:33:51,560
Speaker 1: Smith has been an All American the past couple of

706
00:33:51,600 --> 00:33:55,960
Speaker 1: years at Tennessee. Big powerful guard can also play tackles.

707
00:33:55,960 --> 00:33:58,400
Speaker 1: So those are two big ads on the offensive line.

708
00:33:59,480 --> 00:34:02,320
Speaker 1: And DJ I mentioned the Alabama pair. I know you've

709
00:34:02,360 --> 00:34:05,840
Speaker 1: been a fan of Landing Dickerson out of Alabama. Give

710
00:34:05,920 --> 00:34:08,000
Speaker 1: us a sense of what you like about him. Well,

711
00:34:08,000 --> 00:34:10,120
Speaker 1: he was somebody that was I was lettered too early

712
00:34:10,200 --> 00:34:12,080
Speaker 1: in the season where people like around the league. You

713
00:34:12,080 --> 00:34:14,319
Speaker 1: gotta watch this kid from Alabama and just watch how

714
00:34:14,360 --> 00:34:16,960
Speaker 1: he finishes. And he is so violent and so nasty

715
00:34:17,000 --> 00:34:20,120
Speaker 1: and so physical. He's got interior, flex place center and

716
00:34:20,120 --> 00:34:23,759
Speaker 1: glater guard spot. He is outstanding player who I think

717
00:34:23,840 --> 00:34:26,200
Speaker 1: enters the Senior Bowl process. Is a top fifty pick

718
00:34:26,239 --> 00:34:28,560
Speaker 1: who could potentially find his way even into the first

719
00:34:28,680 --> 00:34:31,160
Speaker 1: round what they saw ad performance down there. And then

720
00:34:31,200 --> 00:34:34,080
Speaker 1: also there's another one who's big and nasty and physical,

721
00:34:34,160 --> 00:34:37,319
Speaker 1: and that's Tevin Jenkins there at Oklahoma State. First game

722
00:34:37,360 --> 00:34:39,600
Speaker 1: I watched on him was against Texas and they have

723
00:34:40,080 --> 00:34:42,359
Speaker 1: a talented edge rusher and they were plays in this

724
00:34:42,440 --> 00:34:45,000
Speaker 1: game you want to talk about finishing, there's one where

725
00:34:45,040 --> 00:34:47,719
Speaker 1: it's blindside esque where he drives a defender all the

726
00:34:47,719 --> 00:34:49,560
Speaker 1: way off the field and parkins him on the bench.

727
00:34:50,239 --> 00:34:53,439
Speaker 1: I mean, he is a physical, physical, tough player. So

728
00:34:53,680 --> 00:34:55,920
Speaker 1: both those guys are Day one starters in the NFL

729
00:34:55,960 --> 00:34:57,759
Speaker 1: who have a chance to to get into that first

730
00:34:57,840 --> 00:35:00,640
Speaker 1: round discussion here with a good weekend Mobile, Well, his

731

732
00:35:03,520 --> 00:35:06,560
Speaker 1: calling it un characteristically strong. Said he watched him in

733
00:35:06,560 --> 00:35:08,640
Speaker 1: a weight room this summer and he was just throwing

734
00:35:08,719 --> 00:35:11,040
Speaker 1: up to twenty five, like thirty five times and nobody

735
00:35:11,120 --> 00:35:14,439
Speaker 1: was even counting. He's that strong. That's that'll be fun

736
00:35:14,440 --> 00:35:16,560
Speaker 1: to watch in the one on one periods, one of

737

764
00:36:39,640 --> 00:36:42,440
Speaker 1: can really help themselves down here, especially when they can

765
00:36:42,480 --> 00:36:45,360
Speaker 1: rush the pastor which you can do. And watching your tape,

766

Speaker 1: you're one of those guys that you can move up

767
00:36:46,960 --> 00:36:48,880
Speaker 1: and down the line and you can affect the quarterback

768
00:36:48,920 --> 00:36:51,759
Speaker 1: from multiple alignments. But where do you Where do you

769
00:36:51,800 --> 00:36:53,640
Speaker 1: like rushing the most from? Where do you feel the

770
00:36:53,640 --> 00:36:55,799
Speaker 1: most comfortable? Where do you feel like you're gonna make

771
00:36:55,800 --> 00:36:58,440
Speaker 1: the most impact at the next level? Uh? Me, personally,

772
00:36:58,480 --> 00:37:00,640
Speaker 1: I would say Russia from a five tegon ne Uh

773
00:37:00,800 --> 00:37:03,839
Speaker 1: just of pretty much gotten getting a better feel of

774
00:37:04,440 --> 00:37:07,400
Speaker 1: using my moves encounters, and also I would like rustling

775
00:37:07,440 --> 00:37:09,840
Speaker 1: with three tech as well. You know, sometimes inside the

776
00:37:09,880 --> 00:37:11,920
Speaker 1: guards and as quick as tackles, I can get it

777
00:37:11,920 --> 00:37:14,920
Speaker 1: to my advantage. I'm just curious when you when you

778
00:37:15,000 --> 00:37:17,320
Speaker 1: evaluate your own game, Boogie, and you look at something

779
00:37:17,360 --> 00:37:19,399
Speaker 1: maybe that you would say, as you're calling card right now,

780
00:37:19,440 --> 00:37:21,120
Speaker 1: what you made your in and then maybe an area

781
00:37:21,160 --> 00:37:23,319
Speaker 1: you're looking to improve and you can use that opportunity

782
00:37:23,760 --> 00:37:25,880
Speaker 1: down there and mobile to show people you've made strides

783
00:37:25,920 --> 00:37:28,239
Speaker 1: in that area as well. I would saying, I said,

784
00:37:28,239 --> 00:37:31,680
Speaker 1: my biggest thing is probably just playing aggressive in my motor.

785
00:37:31,719 --> 00:37:34,279
Speaker 1: That's just what I pride myself of of of and

786
00:37:34,280 --> 00:37:35,680
Speaker 1: I would say the thing I want to work on

787
00:37:35,719 --> 00:37:38,960
Speaker 1: down there and probably just showcasing more pass rush moves

788
00:37:39,480 --> 00:37:41,680
Speaker 1: and the ones I developed as a season and win him,

789
00:37:41,680 --> 00:37:44,040
Speaker 1: you know, booking and thinking about one of the showcase

790
00:37:44,120 --> 00:37:45,640
Speaker 1: more moves. Who are some of the guys that you

791
00:37:45,719 --> 00:37:48,720
Speaker 1: study you're patting your game after Recently, I just started

792
00:37:48,760 --> 00:37:51,880
Speaker 1: watching more of the Marcus Lawrence the Cowboys. You know,

793
00:37:51,920 --> 00:37:56,120
Speaker 1: he's very very physical guy. A lot of people say

794
00:37:56,160 --> 00:37:58,560
Speaker 1: they were they remind me of him. So, you know,

795
00:37:58,600 --> 00:38:01,160
Speaker 1: I just started watching more of tape, more of his game,

796
00:38:01,200 --> 00:38:04,080
Speaker 1: how he plays. And then before I as before I

797
00:38:04,080 --> 00:38:06,320
Speaker 1: had caught COVID, but while I was in a hotel,

798
00:38:06,800 --> 00:38:08,920
Speaker 1: I just started watching more tape on him and just

799
00:38:08,960 --> 00:38:11,359
Speaker 1: trying to, you know, implement some things that he used

800
00:38:11,360 --> 00:38:15,160
Speaker 1: it in my game. Well, that's awesome. You are a

801
00:38:15,400 --> 00:38:18,200
Speaker 1: disruptor in the backfield, man. I know, I saw a

802
00:38:18,239 --> 00:38:21,359
Speaker 1: streak of twenty three straight games with a tackle, uh

803
00:38:21,400 --> 00:38:23,640
Speaker 1: for loss. You make a living back there. I read

804
00:38:23,680 --> 00:38:25,640
Speaker 1: recently that you said you like go into the woods

805
00:38:25,680 --> 00:38:28,799
Speaker 1: and just not being cooped up in one place all

806
00:38:28,840 --> 00:38:30,400
Speaker 1: at once. So is that how come you end up

807
00:38:30,400 --> 00:38:33,120
Speaker 1: finding yourselves in the opponent's backfield all the time. You

808
00:38:33,120 --> 00:38:36,839
Speaker 1: don't like being stuck there in the line of scrimmage. Yeah, yeah,

809
00:38:36,840 --> 00:38:38,360
Speaker 1: I was like, you know, I just I just I

810
00:38:38,400 --> 00:38:40,960
Speaker 1: just hate being stuck in you know, some places a

811
00:38:41,080 --> 00:38:42,960
Speaker 1: lot of time. So you know, my mom at home

812
00:38:43,000 --> 00:38:45,279
Speaker 1: where I try to find some places, there's not many

813
00:38:45,280 --> 00:38:47,480
Speaker 1: people ask I can just go out there just you know,

814
00:38:47,560 --> 00:38:50,000
Speaker 1: free my mind, just not think about football sometimes, just

815
00:38:50,080 --> 00:38:53,600
Speaker 1: kind of like just free just to myself. Okay, so boogie.

816
00:38:53,840 --> 00:38:57,200
Speaker 1: All summer we had the name Carlos Bastrom on your

817
00:38:57,239 --> 00:38:59,640
Speaker 1: tag on our board, and then I brought to my

818
00:38:59,640 --> 00:39:02,160
Speaker 1: attention and you go buy boogie. So let's clear it

819
00:39:02,239 --> 00:39:04,319
Speaker 1: up right now before all the media come down here

820
00:39:04,360 --> 00:39:10,080
Speaker 1: and ask you where boogie comes from? Where's boogie come from? Yeah,

821
00:39:10,120 --> 00:39:13,520
Speaker 1: my mom's best friend growing up. She used to watch

822
00:39:13,600 --> 00:39:16,360
Speaker 1: me a lot, you know, she just hold me and

823
00:39:16,400 --> 00:39:18,439
Speaker 1: I was to be jumping around doing a little dance

824
00:39:18,520 --> 00:39:20,120
Speaker 1: here and there, and she called me boogie and it

825
00:39:20,239 --> 00:39:22,719
Speaker 1: was since then it kind of just stuck. Fantastic book.

826
00:39:22,760 --> 00:39:25,279
Speaker 1: I want to show you a little social media clip

827
00:39:25,320 --> 00:39:27,360
Speaker 1: here we had of you on the basketball court, because

828
00:39:27,360 --> 00:39:30,000
Speaker 1: I know we're scouting, We're always looking at defensive lineman.

829
00:39:30,040 --> 00:39:31,160
Speaker 1: We like to see if they do have a little

830
00:39:31,160 --> 00:39:33,319
Speaker 1: bit of a basketball background. And I think that you've

831
00:39:33,360 --> 00:39:35,480
Speaker 1: put that to bed. We can answer that question with

832
00:39:35,520 --> 00:39:38,239
Speaker 1: this video right here as you throw one down. So

833
00:39:38,280 --> 00:39:40,560
Speaker 1: I'm curious. I've got two questions for you. I've always

834
00:39:40,560 --> 00:39:42,719
Speaker 1: supposed to have one left, but I've got to Number one,

835
00:39:42,760 --> 00:39:45,800
Speaker 1: how much did your basketball help you in your development

836
00:39:45,800 --> 00:39:48,600
Speaker 1: as a football player? And number two, if you had

837
00:39:48,640 --> 00:39:50,960
Speaker 1: to rank these three programs in the state of North

838
00:39:51,000 --> 00:39:55,000
Speaker 1: Carolina between Wake Forest app State in North Carolina, how

839
00:39:55,040 --> 00:40:00,400
Speaker 1: would you rate those three programs? I was say, you know,

840
00:40:00,600 --> 00:40:04,279
Speaker 1: basketball health a lot just of you know, getting a

841
00:40:04,320 --> 00:40:06,680
Speaker 1: better feeling my body, you know, moving side to side,

842
00:40:06,800 --> 00:40:10,080
Speaker 1: especially with conditioning, playing air. You in the summer, it

843
00:40:10,120 --> 00:40:13,080
Speaker 1: didn't get a condition right before two days in high school.

844
00:40:13,520 --> 00:40:15,640
Speaker 1: You didn't ranking those three programs. You know, a Wake

845
00:40:15,800 --> 00:40:22,239
Speaker 1: is obviously one my opinion, and then uh I had

846
00:40:22,280 --> 00:40:25,960
Speaker 1: to go awake. Uh you wudn't see an app you know,

847
00:40:26,000 --> 00:40:32,600
Speaker 1: I don't really. Oh come on, man, come on, you're

848
00:40:32,600 --> 00:40:45,520
Speaker 1: not seeing these helmuts. He sees he sees it. It is.

849
00:40:45,640 --> 00:40:48,640
Speaker 1: You won the Auto Palmer Award as the you know,

850
00:40:48,960 --> 00:40:51,800
Speaker 1: like a very distinct reward every week for US best

851
00:40:51,920 --> 00:40:55,279
Speaker 1: male athlete. What does it mean to you? I miss me.

852
00:40:55,360 --> 00:40:57,680
Speaker 1: You know, it's just of not not just people in

853
00:40:57,719 --> 00:41:00,560
Speaker 1: the football program, but people all across that fletics and

854
00:41:00,600 --> 00:41:02,799
Speaker 1: I wait, forest recognizing the things I've done on and

855
00:41:02,840 --> 00:41:04,799
Speaker 1: off the field. So it's pretty much. So that's a

856
00:41:04,800 --> 00:41:08,560
Speaker 1: big that's a big thing for me. Yeah, boy, last

857
00:41:08,680 --> 00:41:11,279
Speaker 1: one for me real quick. Um, I know you had

858
00:41:11,280 --> 00:41:13,600
Speaker 1: a teammate opt out there this year, but you decided

859
00:41:13,680 --> 00:41:16,000
Speaker 1: to stick with your teammates. Just talk to us quickly

860
00:41:16,000 --> 00:41:19,320
Speaker 1: about that decision for me. Person, you know, I built

861
00:41:19,440 --> 00:41:22,279
Speaker 1: a ton of relationships with guys on the team. That's

862
00:41:22,320 --> 00:41:24,600
Speaker 1: how I probed myself on. It's just build relationships because

863
00:41:24,600 --> 00:41:27,000
Speaker 1: you never know how long what you may need left

864
00:41:27,000 --> 00:41:28,920
Speaker 1: person for later in your life. So you know, how

865
00:41:28,960 --> 00:41:31,560
Speaker 1: build a lot of relationship with some guys. Uh, you know,

866
00:41:31,600 --> 00:41:34,040
Speaker 1: three of my best friends their fifth year series as well.

867
00:41:34,640 --> 00:41:36,360
Speaker 1: You know, they they're talking to me about asking my

868
00:41:36,440 --> 00:41:38,040
Speaker 1: opt out, and I'm like, I don't know, I don't know.

869
00:41:38,760 --> 00:41:40,799
Speaker 1: And then it was like it came down to the wire.

870
00:41:40,840 --> 00:41:43,120
Speaker 1: I'm just like, you know, I love you. I love

871
00:41:43,160 --> 00:41:45,240
Speaker 1: you all three. You know, we just we came in together.

872
00:41:45,719 --> 00:41:48,160
Speaker 1: We might as well finish it together. And then it's

873
00:41:48,160 --> 00:41:50,399
Speaker 1: just a relationship I had with the coaches as well.

874
00:41:50,440 --> 00:41:52,440
Speaker 1: You know, they do a great job and I built

875
00:41:52,560 --> 00:41:54,600
Speaker 1: a lot of love for them. And it is just

876
00:41:54,960 --> 00:41:57,880
Speaker 1: that defensive line room. It's just what's so close? You know,

877
00:41:57,920 --> 00:41:59,960
Speaker 1: that's like a bunch of guys. You know, I'm only

878
00:42:00,280 --> 00:42:03,680
Speaker 1: it's just like I think all guys, my brothers, well

879
00:42:03,760 --> 00:42:06,960
Speaker 1: you guys. Coach Claws and your coach Boogee commented on

880
00:42:07,040 --> 00:42:09,240
Speaker 1: how proud he is of you because of your leadership.

881
00:42:09,640 --> 00:42:12,319
Speaker 1: I think we saw it right there and in your

882
00:42:12,320 --> 00:42:15,760
Speaker 1: commitment to your teammates, your coaches into the Wake Forest program,

883
00:42:15,800 --> 00:42:17,920
Speaker 1: and we can't wait to see it on display down Tomobile.

884
00:42:18,120 --> 00:42:19,719
Speaker 1: But thanks for spending some time with us, man. We

885
00:42:19,800 --> 00:42:21,719
Speaker 1: look forward to seeing you hunt quarterbacks down there. All right,

886
00:42:21,800 --> 00:42:25,600
Speaker 1: all right, thank you? All right now, let's gonna look

887
00:42:25,600 --> 00:42:28,000
Speaker 1: at your edge rushers heading to out heading down to

888
00:42:28,040 --> 00:42:31,839
Speaker 1: mobile for Reese's Senior Bowl of Fighting. Kurt Warners are

889
00:42:31,840 --> 00:42:35,640
Speaker 1: sitting an edge rusher to mobile with Ellerson Smith accepting

890
00:42:35,719 --> 00:42:38,040
Speaker 1: his invite. How about a couple of big tenors on

891
00:42:38,160 --> 00:42:40,719
Speaker 1: the way as well, with Jonathan Cooper of Ohio State

892
00:42:40,760 --> 00:42:44,719
Speaker 1: continuing the long lineage of talented pass rushers uh and

893
00:42:44,880 --> 00:42:47,319
Speaker 1: former Buck Eyes. How much Shaka Tony out of Penn

894
00:42:47,320 --> 00:42:51,319
Speaker 1: State absolute game wrecking ability coming off the edge? Jim,

895
00:42:51,320 --> 00:42:55,760
Speaker 1: as we look back here at the entire defensive line group,

896
00:42:56,440 --> 00:42:59,839
Speaker 1: give us a sense of how you evaluated these guys. Yeah,

897
00:43:00,040 --> 00:43:02,640
Speaker 1: lot of different flavors. Um, You're you're gonna be able,

898
00:43:02,719 --> 00:43:04,480
Speaker 1: You're gonna be able to find something you like out

899
00:43:04,480 --> 00:43:07,800
Speaker 1: of this group. We are excited about the two pit players.

900
00:43:07,840 --> 00:43:10,759
Speaker 1: You know, we held back Patrick Jones until today. Um,

901
00:43:10,800 --> 00:43:12,879
Speaker 1: so that's the announcement on the show that Patrick Jones

902
00:43:12,960 --> 00:43:16,280
Speaker 1: is coming. Uh, just a pure edge rusher whereas Rashad

903
00:43:16,320 --> 00:43:19,520
Speaker 1: Weaver you know, has a little more versatility. But both

904
00:43:19,600 --> 00:43:22,719
Speaker 1: really good players. Probably solidly both on day two right now,

905
00:43:23,080 --> 00:43:25,319
Speaker 1: depending on which NFL team you talked to, they have

906
00:43:25,560 --> 00:43:27,680
Speaker 1: might have one guy over the other um but both

907
00:43:28,080 --> 00:43:31,319
Speaker 1: squarely on day two. Interesting to see where they can

908
00:43:31,360 --> 00:43:33,560
Speaker 1: get in the process that they can get themselves into

909
00:43:33,600 --> 00:43:36,040
Speaker 1: the late first. And there's a couple of juniors, just

910
00:43:36,080 --> 00:43:38,000
Speaker 1: to kind of tease this thing out, a couple of

911
00:43:38,080 --> 00:43:40,560
Speaker 1: juniors in the Edge Rush crew that we're gonna add

912
00:43:40,600 --> 00:43:42,839
Speaker 1: here in the next couple of days now that their

913
00:43:42,840 --> 00:43:45,040
Speaker 1: seasons are over. We we didn't get them try for

914
00:43:45,080 --> 00:43:47,279
Speaker 1: the show, but they will be coming on our on

915
00:43:47,280 --> 00:43:51,279
Speaker 1: our Twitter site in the next couple of days. You

916
00:43:51,320 --> 00:43:53,360
Speaker 1: know one guy that stands out that is going to

917
00:43:53,400 --> 00:43:56,240
Speaker 1: be an outstanding player at the next level, Marvin Wilson

918
00:43:56,239 --> 00:43:59,520
Speaker 1: from Florida State uh following up since high school number

919
00:43:59,560 --> 00:44:02,120
Speaker 1: one crew coming out of Texas. He's been as good

920
00:44:02,120 --> 00:44:05,200
Speaker 1: as advertised for the seminars six, five, three or four,

921
00:44:05,680 --> 00:44:08,320
Speaker 1: great size, great length, does a great job of playing

922
00:44:08,360 --> 00:44:11,360
Speaker 1: with power, but also like his athleticism, he is someone

923
00:44:11,360 --> 00:44:13,720
Speaker 1: who has a chance to be a very disruptive player

924
00:44:14,000 --> 00:44:16,000
Speaker 1: at the next level. All right back here on they

925
00:44:16,000 --> 00:44:18,719

Speaker 1: level defenders and including Tough Borland, a guy that's been

930
00:44:31,280 --> 00:44:35,000
Speaker 1: a standout for his entire career and mainstay there for

931
00:44:35,120 --> 00:44:37,719
Speaker 1: the buck Eyes and Jim also looking at a linebacker

932
00:44:37,719 --> 00:44:40,560
Speaker 1: amainst the down yard L s U and Jabril Cox

933
00:44:40,600 --> 00:44:43,040
Speaker 1: who really stood out. Yeah, we were. We were really

934
00:44:43,040 --> 00:44:45,080
Speaker 1: excited to get Jabril Cox. And you go back to

935
00:44:45,160 --> 00:44:48,520
Speaker 1: last year the North Dakota State tape for the Bison. Um,

936
00:44:48,600 --> 00:44:50,600
Speaker 1: you know they played him. It really is a star position.

937
00:44:50,680 --> 00:44:53,200
Speaker 1: He was really outside the box and you saw him

938
00:44:53,239 --> 00:44:56,319
Speaker 1: running hit You love the speed. But get him L

939
00:44:56,400 --> 00:44:57,840
Speaker 1: s U this year and seeing him play more of

940
00:44:57,880 --> 00:45:01,120
Speaker 1: a traditional linebacker role, He's like, exactly what the NFL

941
00:45:01,200 --> 00:45:03,319
Speaker 1: is looking for right now at the position. He can

942
00:45:03,360 --> 00:45:07,040
Speaker 1: play in space. He's got this speed. Um, he's instinctive.

943
00:45:07,120 --> 00:45:09,760
Speaker 1: He saw that this year. Um, so really an exciting

944
00:45:09,760 --> 00:45:12,040
Speaker 1: player to add to the game. Yeah. I'll tell you what.

945
00:45:12,040 --> 00:45:14,240
Speaker 1: I'm keeping an eye on another linebacker in that group,

946
00:45:14,239 --> 00:45:16,320
Speaker 1: and that's Tony Fields, who I saw play at the

947
00:45:16,400 --> 00:45:18,719
Speaker 1: University of Arizona as a young player and pile up

948
00:45:18,760 --> 00:45:21,560
Speaker 1: a ton of numbers very productive. Doesn't know if they're

949
00:45:21,560 --> 00:45:23,239
Speaker 1: gonna have a season in the Pac twelve, so he

950
00:45:23,280 --> 00:45:26,600
Speaker 1: transfers to West Virginia and he's done exactly what at

951
00:45:26,640 --> 00:45:28,960
Speaker 1: Arizona has been a tackling machine. If you want inside

952
00:45:29,000 --> 00:45:32,240
Speaker 1: linebackers off the ball, linebackers that can really run and cover,

953
00:45:32,840 --> 00:45:34,719
Speaker 1: that's what he gives you. Now the question is gonna

954
00:45:34,760 --> 00:45:37,239
Speaker 1: be can he bang? Can he take on blocks? That'll

955
00:45:37,280 --> 00:45:38,719
Speaker 1: be something we'll get to see down there in some

956
00:45:38,760 --> 00:45:40,920
Speaker 1: of those nine on seven periods down there in Mobile.

957
00:45:41,000 --> 00:45:44,760
Speaker 1: But man, this is a productive, productive football player DJ.

958
00:45:44,840 --> 00:45:47,839
Speaker 1: When you talk about productive, I like Malcolm Cones from

959
00:45:48,000 --> 00:45:51,320
Speaker 1: University of Buffalo. When you think about his steady improvement

960
00:45:51,520 --> 00:45:54,520
Speaker 1: throughout his career, he has shown the ability to consistently

961
00:45:54,560 --> 00:45:56,840
Speaker 1: get to the quarterback. And even though the numbers are

962
00:45:56,880 --> 00:45:59,200
Speaker 1: down this year because of the schedule, I just like

963
00:45:59,400 --> 00:46:02,520
Speaker 1: the fact that he is growing, he's improving. He gives

964
00:46:02,520 --> 00:46:04,360
Speaker 1: you some of that Verston Philly that you like, and

965
00:46:04,400 --> 00:46:06,080
Speaker 1: he is a guy that understands how to get the

966
00:46:06,120 --> 00:46:09,160
Speaker 1: quarterback down. There's always a value and finding players and

967
00:46:09,239 --> 00:46:12,600
Speaker 1: prospects who have that ability about game changing players on

968
00:46:12,680 --> 00:46:15,239
Speaker 1: both sides of the ball. For the Bulls of Buffalo

969
00:46:15,400 --> 00:46:17,839
Speaker 1: this year. Excited to see Malcolm Coote says, we gotta

970
00:46:17,840 --> 00:46:20,640
Speaker 1: look now at the cornerbacks out there trying to shut

971
00:46:20,680 --> 00:46:23,880
Speaker 1: down Some of these wide receivers provide some run support

972
00:46:24,120 --> 00:46:26,839
Speaker 1: as well out of the perimeter. Ambree Thomas a real

973
00:46:26,960 --> 00:46:30,000
Speaker 1: interesting study when we get the Senior Bowl week. Opted

974
00:46:30,040 --> 00:46:32,279
Speaker 1: out of this season at Michigan after earning plenty of

975
00:46:32,280 --> 00:46:35,080
Speaker 1: preseason recognition as a guy who would have been the

976
00:46:35,160 --> 00:46:40,200
Speaker 1: best defensive back in the Big Ten Conference. And Jim

977
00:46:40,239 --> 00:46:43,280
Speaker 1: another guy that we're looking at here on the cornerback

978
00:46:43,360 --> 00:46:46,680
Speaker 1: lisper Darius Williams out of Oklahoma State. What does he

979
00:46:46,719 --> 00:46:48,960
Speaker 1: bring to the table. Yeah, rhad Darius was one of

980
00:46:48,960 --> 00:46:51,839
Speaker 1: our most improved players on our board this year. Really

981
00:46:51,880 --> 00:46:55,719
Speaker 1: benefited from tape. He's a guy, you know, we talked

982
00:46:55,760 --> 00:46:58,360
Speaker 1: to the coaching staff there at Oklahoma State. He is

983
00:46:58,440 --> 00:47:01,520
Speaker 1: Greedy Williams little brother, but I like that he doesn't

984
00:47:01,600 --> 00:47:03,920
Speaker 1: like to be known as Greedy Williams little brother. He

985
00:47:03,960 --> 00:47:06,480
Speaker 1: wants to make a name for himself. And what stood

986
00:47:06,480 --> 00:47:08,719
Speaker 1: out on tape this year was he's just playing with

987
00:47:08,760 --> 00:47:11,800
Speaker 1: a calm, He's trusting his technique, He's he just looked

988
00:47:11,800 --> 00:47:14,879
Speaker 1: like a vet um. There's no panic. He's finding the ball,

989
00:47:14,920 --> 00:47:17,160
Speaker 1: he's playing the ball um. So he's one of those

990
00:47:17,200 --> 00:47:18,640
Speaker 1: big corners that we feel like he's gonna have a

991
00:47:18,680 --> 00:47:21,560
Speaker 1: big week down here. Speaking of big, fast, athletic corners,

992
00:47:21,600 --> 00:47:23,879
Speaker 1: Robert Rochelle from Central Arkansas, he's gonna be a name

993
00:47:23,880 --> 00:47:26,120
Speaker 1: you hear a lot about after the week down their mobile.

994
00:47:26,200 --> 00:47:29,320
Speaker 1: But what I'm looking forward to watching I mentioned earlier

995
00:47:29,320 --> 00:47:31,440
Speaker 1: about a Marie Rogers from Clemson in the slot. Well,

996
00:47:31,440 --> 00:47:33,800
Speaker 1: we've got somebody that can cover him. And Elijah Molden.

997
00:47:33,920 --> 00:47:36,000
Speaker 1: I think he's gonna be one of the better nickel

998
00:47:36,040 --> 00:47:38,160
Speaker 1: prospects in this entire draft class. I think he can

999
00:47:38,160 --> 00:47:39,920
Speaker 1: play high as a safety if he wanted him to

1000
00:47:39,960 --> 00:47:43,040
Speaker 1: do that, but very instinctive. Washington has put out a

1001
00:47:43,080 --> 00:47:45,520
Speaker 1: ton of dbs over the last decade and he's next

1002
00:47:45,560 --> 00:47:48,040
Speaker 1: in line. So him versus a Mari Rodgers, that's my

1003
00:47:48,120 --> 00:47:50,160
Speaker 1: early matchup I'm keeping an eye on. And he's got

1004
00:47:50,160 --> 00:47:53,040
Speaker 1: the lineage as well. His dad, Alex Molden, a first

1005
00:47:53,080 --> 00:47:55,040
Speaker 1: round pick of the New Orleans Saints back in the

1006
00:47:56,760 --> 00:47:59,600
Speaker 1: NFL draft. All right, let's get to the safeties in

1007
00:47:59,600 --> 00:48:03,040
Speaker 1: this year years Senior Bowl Game, and looking at a

1008
00:48:03,120 --> 00:48:05,600
Speaker 1: couple of guys from Georgia. By the way, a Senior

1009
00:48:05,640 --> 00:48:09,239
Speaker 1: Bowl high right, seven acceptances from Georgia, Uh this year

1010
00:48:09,280 --> 00:48:12,640
Speaker 1: heading down to Mobile for the Senior Bowl. Sean Davis

1011
00:48:12,680 --> 00:48:15,719
Speaker 1: also they're out of Florida. And Jim, I know you're

1012
00:48:15,719 --> 00:48:18,759
Speaker 1: also excited about Richie Grant. Yeah, really excited about what

1013
00:48:18,840 --> 00:48:22,399
Speaker 1: Richie Grant's gonna being. He's he's a do it all safety, really,

1014
00:48:22,480 --> 00:48:23,880
Speaker 1: you know, he can play back in the middle of

1015
00:48:23,880 --> 00:48:26,839
Speaker 1: the field, and he's got great instincts on the back end.

1016
00:48:26,880 --> 00:48:29,600
Speaker 1: He's he's really got an opportunistic knack for going up

1017
00:48:29,600 --> 00:48:31,840
Speaker 1: and making plays when they need to be made. And

1018
00:48:31,920 --> 00:48:33,960
Speaker 1: he's a guy that will come downhill and run alleys

1019
00:48:34,120 --> 00:48:36,919
Speaker 1: and run support. Really a physical tackler. So if you're

1020
00:48:36,920 --> 00:48:39,960
Speaker 1: looking for an interchangeable safety that can play free, can

1021
00:48:40,000 --> 00:48:43,720
Speaker 1: play strong, Uh, really good athlete to space, Richie Grant's

1022
00:48:43,719 --> 00:48:47,040
Speaker 1: you got. And Jim, some might say we saved the

1023
00:48:47,080 --> 00:48:51,120
Speaker 1: best for last in talking about the specialists and the kickers,

1024
00:48:51,160 --> 00:48:53,880
Speaker 1: because last year one of the headlines of the practice

1025
00:48:53,920 --> 00:48:57,359
Speaker 1: week was watching Tyler Basquet out there and just absolutely

1026
00:48:57,400 --> 00:49:00,040
Speaker 1: bombs some field goals. Uh. He was a terre of

1027
00:49:00,120 --> 00:49:02,360
Speaker 1: the player. Donomobile has been a great kicker as a

1028
00:49:02,440 --> 00:49:04,720
Speaker 1: rookie for the Buffalo Bills. Were some of the kickers

1029
00:49:04,719 --> 00:49:07,560
Speaker 1: you got lined up this year? Yeah, and we had

1030
00:49:07,600 --> 00:49:10,640
Speaker 1: hot Rod last year. I think Rodrigo Blanketship might be

1031
00:49:10,719 --> 00:49:12,520
Speaker 1: leading the league in scoring right now. I'm not sure.

1032
00:49:12,520 --> 00:49:14,520
Speaker 1: I know he's having a great year too. But Jose

1033
00:49:14,640 --> 00:49:18,040
Speaker 1: Boragallis from Miami, UM, really our calls are on the league.

1034
00:49:18,080 --> 00:49:20,600
Speaker 1: He was everyone's top rated kicker in this year's draft.

1035
00:49:20,880 --> 00:49:23,560
Speaker 1: You're excited about him. And then Riley Patterson at Memphis

1036
00:49:23,600 --> 00:49:26,440
Speaker 1: is a guy that has really rebounded UM and had

1037
00:49:26,440 --> 00:49:29,080
Speaker 1: a great last couple of years there for Memphis. Talking

1038
00:49:29,120 --> 00:49:31,080
Speaker 1: to their staff, they're really high on him. The league

1039
00:49:31,120 --> 00:49:33,440
Speaker 1: likes them too, so we do. We lean on the

1040
00:49:33,480 --> 00:49:36,480
Speaker 1: league for some of these specialist invites UM to bring

1041
00:49:36,520 --> 00:49:38,120
Speaker 1: the guys they want to see, and those two are

1042
00:49:38,120 --> 00:49:40,440
Speaker 1: the top two kickers and get a chance to see

1043
00:49:40,520 --> 00:49:43,799
Speaker 1: him in another great competitive environment. All right. So with that,

1044
00:49:43,880 --> 00:49:47,759
Speaker 1: we have unveiled h the entire Senior Bowl roster thus far.

1045
00:49:47,840 --> 00:49:49,480
Speaker 1: I know some moves still to be made here, as

1046
00:49:49,560 --> 00:49:51,839
Speaker 1: Jim t s then you can check out the Senior

1047
00:49:51,840 --> 00:49:54,200
Speaker 1: Bowl Twitter account and Jim's Twitter account for the rest

1048
00:49:54,280 --> 00:49:57,680
Speaker 1: of the Senior Bowl acceptances this year. But let's get

1049
00:49:57,680 --> 00:49:59,879
Speaker 1: some final thoughts here as we are, what about four

1050
00:50:00,719 --> 00:50:03,759
Speaker 1: six days from the Senior Bowl. So d J lead

1051
00:50:03,840 --> 00:50:06,120
Speaker 1: us off. Well. For me, first of all, I'm thankful

1052
00:50:06,200 --> 00:50:08,719
Speaker 1: that the Jim has chosen this platform and be able

1053
00:50:08,760 --> 00:50:11,560
Speaker 1: to introduce these rosters to everybody because this is kind

1054
00:50:11,560 --> 00:50:14,200
Speaker 1: of the launch of the draft season and teams, you've

1055
00:50:14,239 --> 00:50:16,479
Speaker 1: had a bad year. It's been a weird year with

1056
00:50:16,480 --> 00:50:18,239
Speaker 1: with all that's going on in the world. So if

1057
00:50:18,280 --> 00:50:19,840
Speaker 1: your team was a little bit down this year, you

1058
00:50:19,920 --> 00:50:22,960
Speaker 1: can start getting excited about twenty one and and what's

1059
00:50:23,000 --> 00:50:25,600
Speaker 1: to come. And this Senior Bowl process is kind of

1060
00:50:25,600 --> 00:50:28,640
Speaker 1: the kickoff of draft season. And Buck, I know down

1061
00:50:28,680 --> 00:50:30,879
Speaker 1: there in Mobile, that's always our favorite week of the year.

1062
00:50:31,360 --> 00:50:33,640
Speaker 1: It is always our favorite week of the year, going

1063
00:50:33,680 --> 00:50:35,320
Speaker 1: back to when I had an opportunity to play in

1064
00:50:35,360 --> 00:50:37,880
Speaker 1: the ninety four Senior Bowl. It means a lot to

1065
00:50:37,920 --> 00:50:40,960
Speaker 1: see these guys compete. Another thing that I'm going to

1066
00:50:41,040 --> 00:50:43,680
Speaker 1: keep my own is just how many of these guys compete.

1067
00:50:43,680 --> 00:50:46,080
Speaker 1: How many guys take their games up a notch because

1068
00:50:46,120 --> 00:50:48,600
Speaker 1: they're playing some against some of the best players in

1069
00:50:48,640 --> 00:50:51,200
Speaker 1: the country. Well, I appreciate you what you guys have

1070
00:50:51,280 --> 00:50:54,160
