So, guys, 9 00:00:28,360 --> 00:00:30,520 Speaker 2: we've had a great run here right started with our 10 00:00:30,600 --> 00:00:33,120 Speaker 2: roster reveal show here on NFL Network and on the 11 00:00:33,120 --> 00:00:36,520 Speaker 2: Move the Sticks podcast, we get Donomobile, three great practices 12 00:00:36,640 --> 00:00:40,480 Speaker 2: leading up to just an incredible game, an emotional game. Again, 13 00:00:40,520 --> 00:00:43,000 Speaker 2: we'll get into that, but Jim, as you look back 14 00:00:43,000 --> 00:00:44,599 Speaker 2: on the week, man, what stands out to. 15 00:00:44,600 --> 00:00:47,440 Speaker 4: You, Well, it was another great week, probably our best 16 00:00:47,520 --> 00:00:50,720 Speaker 4: week we've had in terms of roster weather. And then, 17 00:00:50,840 --> 00:00:53,720 Speaker 4: like you just said that, the storybook ending with the 18 00:00:53,800 --> 00:00:56,640 Speaker 4: jack best touchdowns, So incredible week. You know, I think 19 00:00:56,640 --> 00:00:59,560 Speaker 4: that the d line group held up as advertised. You know, 20 00:00:59,600 --> 00:01:01,720 Speaker 4: there was a lot to talk about. All these top 21 00:01:01,800 --> 00:01:03,720 Speaker 4: fifty players come in on the d line, they had 22 00:01:03,720 --> 00:01:05,880 Speaker 4: a great week. I think the offensive line, you saw 23 00:01:05,920 --> 00:01:07,840 Speaker 4: some guys really step up on that side of. 24 00:01:07,840 --> 00:01:10,360 Speaker 5: The ball that really helped their case for the draft. 25 00:01:10,360 --> 00:01:12,720 Speaker 4: And then you know, you ended with the quarterback class. 26 00:01:12,760 --> 00:01:14,840 Speaker 4: There was a lot of high profile names in that group. 27 00:01:15,160 --> 00:01:18,240 Speaker 4: You know, I thought Jackson Dart, Jalen Milroe, Dylan Gabriel, 28 00:01:18,319 --> 00:01:21,319 Speaker 4: Tyler Shuck and really ended it right there with Seth 29 00:01:21,440 --> 00:01:23,760 Speaker 4: Seth Henigan from Memphis on that game winning drive. 30 00:01:24,280 --> 00:01:25,320 Speaker 5: Those guys showed well too. 31 00:01:25,440 --> 00:01:26,800 Speaker 4: So just a lot a lot of people to be 32 00:01:26,840 --> 00:01:29,600 Speaker 4: grateful for, you guys know what it takes to put 33 00:01:29,600 --> 00:01:31,600 Speaker 4: this game on down here, from our office staff, our 34 00:01:31,640 --> 00:01:35,720 Speaker 4: scouting staff, the volunteers, just so many people brought together 35 00:01:35,760 --> 00:01:36,559 Speaker 4: such a great week. 36 00:01:36,959 --> 00:01:37,600 Speaker 3: Without question. 37 00:01:37,720 --> 00:01:39,760 Speaker 2: Look, I mean it's so valuable for us to get 38 00:01:39,800 --> 00:01:41,640 Speaker 2: a chance to see these guys, you know, live and 39 00:01:41,680 --> 00:01:45,880 Speaker 2: in person. Obviously a tremendous value for the NFL evaluators 40 00:01:45,880 --> 00:01:47,800 Speaker 2: to get to see them against the best of the best, 41 00:01:47,880 --> 00:01:49,960 Speaker 2: not just in the game, but of course in the 42 00:01:50,000 --> 00:01:54,640 Speaker 2: three practices that provide plenty of memorable moments. Ont of 43 00:01:54,680 --> 00:01:58,400 Speaker 2: standouts from the practice week in Mobile. These are a 44 00:01:58,440 --> 00:02:00,680 Speaker 2: few that stood out to me over the course of 45 00:02:00,720 --> 00:02:03,320 Speaker 2: the three days. Thought Max Harston was maybe the most 46 00:02:03,320 --> 00:02:06,840 Speaker 2: consistent cover corner that we saw in Mobile. Kyle Williams, 47 00:02:06,880 --> 00:02:09,160 Speaker 2: as you saw on that practice recap man, he's got 48 00:02:09,160 --> 00:02:11,400 Speaker 2: some juice with his releases. 49 00:02:10,919 --> 00:02:11,920 Speaker 3: And his route technique. 50 00:02:12,000 --> 00:02:16,160 Speaker 2: Mason Taylor is the natural at tight end, certainly fitting 51 00:02:16,200 --> 00:02:19,239 Speaker 2: coming from the Hall of Famer. Jason Taylor's his dad, 52 00:02:19,280 --> 00:02:21,800 Speaker 2: and then Gray's Abel I think unofficially took the most 53 00:02:21,800 --> 00:02:23,680 Speaker 2: one on one reps in the history of the Senior 54 00:02:23,720 --> 00:02:26,119 Speaker 2: Bowl and won most of them. And then Mike Green, 55 00:02:26,200 --> 00:02:28,600 Speaker 2: of course from Marshall had the viral clip of the 56 00:02:28,680 --> 00:02:31,840 Speaker 2: Senior Bowl with his rep against Josh Connerly so Jim. 57 00:02:31,919 --> 00:02:34,400 Speaker 2: So many great moments from the Senior Bowl. It's funny, 58 00:02:34,480 --> 00:02:36,840 Speaker 2: like you heard DJ and I's voices there as we 59 00:02:36,840 --> 00:02:39,120 Speaker 2: were seeing that live, Like I had the same reactions 60 00:02:39,160 --> 00:02:42,000 Speaker 2: watching some of those plays again, because there were a 61 00:02:42,040 --> 00:02:43,600 Speaker 2: ton a ton of standout moments. 62 00:02:44,880 --> 00:02:47,840 Speaker 4: I'll piggyback on the first guy, Greys Abel, right, I 63 00:02:47,840 --> 00:02:50,280 Speaker 4: mean small school guy. Really proud of all the small 64 00:02:50,280 --> 00:02:52,359 Speaker 4: school offensive linemen. I thought a bunch of this guys 65 00:02:52,400 --> 00:02:55,120 Speaker 4: stepped up. You know you're not supposed to helmet scout, 66 00:02:55,360 --> 00:02:57,359 Speaker 4: but if you look over my left shoulder, I think 67 00:02:57,360 --> 00:03:00,480 Speaker 4: it's fair to helmet scout the North Dakota State offensive line. 68 00:03:00,520 --> 00:03:02,440 Speaker 4: I thought, you know, we had Cody mock down here 69 00:03:02,480 --> 00:03:04,880 Speaker 4: a couple of years ago, played all five spots. I 70 00:03:04,880 --> 00:03:07,480 Speaker 4: think Graysabel had a very similar week to Cody. And 71 00:03:07,520 --> 00:03:09,320 Speaker 4: you know, Cody's had a good first couple of years 72 00:03:09,320 --> 00:03:11,920 Speaker 4: there in Tampa Bay. I think Graysabel put himself in 73 00:03:11,960 --> 00:03:14,160 Speaker 4: position to be the first center taken in this year's 74 00:03:14,200 --> 00:03:16,600 Speaker 4: in this year's draft, now that people have seen him 75 00:03:16,600 --> 00:03:18,480 Speaker 4: play center, and then if you flip it over to 76 00:03:18,480 --> 00:03:21,280 Speaker 4: the American side. One one standout for me was Walter Nolan, 77 00:03:21,320 --> 00:03:23,760 Speaker 4: the defensive tackle from All Miss. I mean, this is 78 00:03:23,760 --> 00:03:25,880 Speaker 4: a guy not a lot of people know. He gutted 79 00:03:25,919 --> 00:03:28,400 Speaker 4: through a lot injury wise during the week. You know, 80 00:03:28,440 --> 00:03:29,720 Speaker 4: he could have easily packed it in. 81 00:03:29,840 --> 00:03:32,200 Speaker 5: He did not. He saw the week all the way through. 82 00:03:32,480 --> 00:03:36,279 Speaker 4: If you're looking for like a disruptive, penetrating three technique, 83 00:03:36,400 --> 00:03:38,600 Speaker 4: all those tools were really obvious. We're seeing him in 84 00:03:38,600 --> 00:03:41,040 Speaker 4: some of the clips right here. This guy jumps off 85 00:03:41,080 --> 00:03:44,000 Speaker 4: the ball. So teams needing that three technique that could 86 00:03:44,000 --> 00:03:45,720 Speaker 4: add to their pass rush next year. 87 00:03:46,120 --> 00:03:48,800 Speaker 5: To me, Walter Nolan's that guy in this year's draft. 88 00:03:49,120 --> 00:03:52,240 Speaker 6: And I like what Walter Nolan accomplished during that week. 89 00:03:52,320 --> 00:03:54,640 Speaker 6: And you talked about that twitch that jumps off. He 90 00:03:54,720 --> 00:03:56,920 Speaker 6: wasn't alone. I mean, this is the deepest position in 91 00:03:56,960 --> 00:04:00,480 Speaker 6: the draft at defensive tackle. And Darius Alexander, what he 92 00:04:00,520 --> 00:04:03,360 Speaker 6: did coming out of Toledo with his length and size 93 00:04:03,440 --> 00:04:06,640 Speaker 6: and then seeing the twitch and explosiveness during the week 94 00:04:06,680 --> 00:04:09,600 Speaker 6: of practice, to me, that was one that just jumped 95 00:04:09,640 --> 00:04:11,640 Speaker 6: off the tape when you're watching those one on ones 96 00:04:11,640 --> 00:04:13,800 Speaker 6: and looking what he was able to get done this 97 00:04:13,880 --> 00:04:15,960 Speaker 6: week again in a very very deep field. Then on 98 00:04:16,000 --> 00:04:18,799 Speaker 6: the other side, I'll go to Miles Frasier from LSU, 99 00:04:18,960 --> 00:04:22,880 Speaker 6: who's got some positional flexibility, can play tackle. I love 100 00:04:22,920 --> 00:04:25,039 Speaker 6: him at guard. I think he's got a chance to 101 00:04:25,080 --> 00:04:27,960 Speaker 6: really plug and play as a guard with a big frame, 102 00:04:28,120 --> 00:04:31,159 Speaker 6: a big physical guy who's got good feet. So it's 103 00:04:31,160 --> 00:04:33,680 Speaker 6: a trench's draft. It's a line of scrimmage draft and 104 00:04:33,920 --> 00:04:35,680 Speaker 6: no shortage of players to choose from. 105 00:04:36,360 --> 00:04:37,680 Speaker 3: Yeah, and we saw plenty of it. 106 00:04:37,680 --> 00:04:39,760 Speaker 2: Those just a couple of the names that popped out 107 00:04:39,800 --> 00:04:41,960 Speaker 2: to us, a couple of the moments that stood out 108 00:04:42,000 --> 00:04:43,920 Speaker 2: to us from the practice week, but there were plenty 109 00:04:43,920 --> 00:04:47,280 Speaker 2: more once we got to game day there inside Hancock 110 00:04:47,279 --> 00:04:51,440 Speaker 2: Whitney Stadium in Mobile. And when we come back, we'll 111 00:04:51,480 --> 00:04:54,920 Speaker 2: head back to one of the most emotional, powerful and 112 00:04:55,000 --> 00:04:55,960 Speaker 2: talent filled. 113 00:04:55,720 --> 00:04:57,240 Speaker 3: Games that we've had in Mobile. 114 00:04:59,839 --> 00:05:02,720 Speaker 2: Five Vreese's Senior Ball in Mobile had the stars out 115 00:05:02,800 --> 00:05:05,400 Speaker 2: all week and not just on the field. This year's 116 00:05:05,440 --> 00:05:08,400 Speaker 2: festivities featuring a free concert on January thirty first at 117 00:05:08,440 --> 00:05:12,240 Speaker 2: Cathedral Square headlined by a country music star, Sammy Kershaw 118 00:05:12,360 --> 00:05:13,760 Speaker 2: and the Eli Young Band. 119 00:05:13,800 --> 00:05:16,279 Speaker 3: Great time for all and then of course we got 120 00:05:16,279 --> 00:05:16,840 Speaker 3: to game day. 121 00:05:17,040 --> 00:05:18,840 Speaker 6: Well, you're not gonna find a better finish to any 122 00:05:18,880 --> 00:05:21,400 Speaker 6: game than the one we saw there with that Jack 123 00:05:21,400 --> 00:05:23,359 Speaker 6: Besh touchdown. He was one of the five guys that 124 00:05:23,440 --> 00:05:27,000 Speaker 6: stood out with big time game performance. Oli Gordon there 125 00:05:27,080 --> 00:05:28,920 Speaker 6: not only running the ball you saw with the touchdown 126 00:05:28,960 --> 00:05:31,280 Speaker 6: pass a big two hundred and thirty pound running back 127 00:05:31,279 --> 00:05:35,560 Speaker 6: from Oklahoma State Landon Jackson was he was a dynamo 128 00:05:35,640 --> 00:05:38,920 Speaker 6: coming off the edge really really long, really explosive. Was 129 00:05:38,920 --> 00:05:42,120 Speaker 6: getting after the quarterback all day long, Saveon Jones inside 130 00:05:42,120 --> 00:05:46,960 Speaker 6: for LSU some really quick wins, a dynamic, explosive interior 131 00:05:47,080 --> 00:05:49,839 Speaker 6: rusher and then Seth Henigan kind of gets lost because 132 00:05:50,240 --> 00:05:53,000 Speaker 6: of the Besch touchdown. We forget where that came from, 133 00:05:53,080 --> 00:05:56,279 Speaker 6: which was Seth Hennigan, who had an unbelievable game, very efficient, 134 00:05:56,800 --> 00:05:58,400 Speaker 6: capped it off with a game winner there at the 135 00:05:58,480 --> 00:05:58,920 Speaker 6: very end. 136 00:05:59,160 --> 00:06:00,920 Speaker 2: A month before the scene your Bowl, Jack Besh and 137 00:06:01,040 --> 00:06:04,000 Speaker 2: lost his brother Tiger Bash, former Princeton football player, in 138 00:06:04,040 --> 00:06:06,080 Speaker 2: the terrorist attacks. On New Year's Day in New Orleans, 139 00:06:06,160 --> 00:06:09,000 Speaker 2: played with a heavy heart, wearing Tiger's jersey number seven 140 00:06:09,040 --> 00:06:09,600 Speaker 2: on his chest. 141 00:06:09,640 --> 00:06:11,080 Speaker 3: With seven seconds left. 142 00:06:10,920 --> 00:06:14,000 Speaker 2: On the clock, he caught that game winner from Memphis 143 00:06:14,040 --> 00:06:15,839 Speaker 2: Tiger quarterback Seth Henigan. 144 00:06:16,320 --> 00:06:18,279 Speaker 3: Tom Pellisera got the raw motion from. 145 00:06:18,160 --> 00:06:23,080 Speaker 1: Besh one month ago today, I think your brother passed away. 146 00:06:23,560 --> 00:06:25,880 Speaker 1: Take me to just the emotions of coming to this 147 00:06:25,960 --> 00:06:28,360 Speaker 1: event and then obviously being able to score the winner. 148 00:06:28,680 --> 00:06:32,440 Speaker 7: Yeah, it's been surreal just to be able to come 149 00:06:32,480 --> 00:06:34,960 Speaker 7: and take place in this game. It's a goal you 150 00:06:35,000 --> 00:06:37,839 Speaker 7: set for yourself, you know. But if I had the 151 00:06:37,839 --> 00:06:42,040 Speaker 7: option that if I came here, had the worst week ever, 152 00:06:42,760 --> 00:06:45,359 Speaker 7: ruined my draftstock, But that means I could give my 153 00:06:45,400 --> 00:06:47,880 Speaker 7: brother a hug right now, you know, I would take that, 154 00:06:48,200 --> 00:06:50,360 Speaker 7: you know. But but on the flip side of that, 155 00:06:51,320 --> 00:06:53,000 Speaker 7: I don't think I could have had the week that 156 00:06:53,160 --> 00:06:55,440 Speaker 7: I had if if all that would have happened. So, 157 00:06:55,600 --> 00:06:57,200 Speaker 7: like I said, you know, his wings were on my 158 00:06:57,320 --> 00:07:00,200 Speaker 7: side and him and Jesus Christ for the reason I 159 00:07:00,240 --> 00:07:01,039 Speaker 7: was able to do all of this. 160 00:07:03,360 --> 00:07:06,760 Speaker 2: Man still get some of those goosebumps thinking about that 161 00:07:07,040 --> 00:07:10,160 Speaker 2: and about what that moment certainly meant. And as he 162 00:07:10,240 --> 00:07:13,200 Speaker 2: was certainly a standout won the MVP, and rightly so DJ. 163 00:07:13,640 --> 00:07:15,400 Speaker 2: But looking at a couple of the other players on 164 00:07:15,440 --> 00:07:17,520 Speaker 2: that list, Ali Gordon, obviously we're gonna have to go 165 00:07:17,520 --> 00:07:20,680 Speaker 2: scout his arm now and then Landed Jackson was shot 166 00:07:20,720 --> 00:07:22,520 Speaker 2: out of a cannon in that game. 167 00:07:23,200 --> 00:07:26,200 Speaker 6: Yeah, And he's so big and just so rangy and long, 168 00:07:26,240 --> 00:07:29,400 Speaker 6: and he's winning right off the snap and when if 169 00:07:29,400 --> 00:07:31,160 Speaker 6: you're a little bit late getting out of your set, 170 00:07:31,240 --> 00:07:32,880 Speaker 6: he's going to hit you with that long arm and 171 00:07:32,920 --> 00:07:36,720 Speaker 6: it's over. So it was an impressive, impressive game for him. 172 00:07:36,760 --> 00:07:38,920 Speaker 6: And we could go a laundry list of guys that 173 00:07:38,960 --> 00:07:42,320 Speaker 6: were standouts in that game. But man, that's five years 174 00:07:42,320 --> 00:07:43,680 Speaker 6: from now, that's going to be known as the Jack 175 00:07:43,720 --> 00:07:44,880 Speaker 6: Besh Senior Bowl. 176 00:07:45,280 --> 00:07:47,800 Speaker 2: Oh, without question, And Jim, I would imagine you got 177 00:07:47,840 --> 00:07:50,840 Speaker 2: no problem with that, with the way that it all 178 00:07:50,920 --> 00:07:52,680 Speaker 2: ended up playing out. Who are a couple other guys 179 00:07:52,720 --> 00:07:54,480 Speaker 2: that stood out to you in the game. 180 00:07:55,320 --> 00:07:58,160 Speaker 4: Yeah, you couldn't have scripted the ending with Jack any better. 181 00:07:58,200 --> 00:08:01,640 Speaker 4: But one of the guys on DJ's Saveon Jones from LSU, 182 00:08:01,880 --> 00:08:03,880 Speaker 4: you know, to me, one of the most scheme diverse, 183 00:08:04,040 --> 00:08:07,040 Speaker 4: versatile defensive linemen in the class. And again, a lot 184 00:08:07,040 --> 00:08:08,440 Speaker 4: of times you got to go back and watch the 185 00:08:08,480 --> 00:08:10,840 Speaker 4: tape to see who played well in the trenches. I mean, 186 00:08:10,880 --> 00:08:12,600 Speaker 4: this guy was in the backfield all day, so he 187 00:08:12,640 --> 00:08:15,400 Speaker 4: was an easy guy to notice. And I'm glad he 188 00:08:15,400 --> 00:08:16,880 Speaker 4: had a good game because a lot of the other 189 00:08:17,040 --> 00:08:19,440 Speaker 4: SEC defensive linemen got a lot of love during the week. 190 00:08:19,480 --> 00:08:22,520 Speaker 4: And then Saveon steps up and has this type of game. 191 00:08:22,840 --> 00:08:24,440 Speaker 4: And then to flip it over on the other side, 192 00:08:24,520 --> 00:08:26,080 Speaker 4: I could have win a lot of directions on the 193 00:08:26,160 --> 00:08:28,400 Speaker 4: national team. I mean, they had seven sacks on that team, 194 00:08:28,400 --> 00:08:32,200 Speaker 4: but I went with Sebastian Castro, the defensive back from Iowa. 195 00:08:32,520 --> 00:08:34,880 Speaker 4: You know, let's just say the national secondary took some 196 00:08:35,000 --> 00:08:38,760 Speaker 4: hits before game day, so Castro had to play forty two. 197 00:08:38,600 --> 00:08:40,360 Speaker 5: Of the fifty nine snaps in the game. 198 00:08:40,800 --> 00:08:43,360 Speaker 4: He had a PBu, a force fumble, a fumble recovery, 199 00:08:43,400 --> 00:08:45,160 Speaker 4: a big stop right here on third down. 200 00:08:45,160 --> 00:08:46,880 Speaker 5: That was a big play in the game right there. 201 00:08:47,200 --> 00:08:48,600 Speaker 5: You know, talk about a chess piece. 202 00:08:48,640 --> 00:08:51,080 Speaker 4: This guy played reps at NICOL, He played free safety, 203 00:08:51,160 --> 00:08:54,480 Speaker 4: played outside corner. So as we moved through the draft process, 204 00:08:54,600 --> 00:08:56,240 Speaker 4: this is going to be a guy that dB coaches 205 00:08:56,320 --> 00:08:57,120 Speaker 4: just fall in love with. 206 00:08:57,480 --> 00:08:59,960 Speaker 2: What do you know, a dB from Iowa has incredible instinct, 207 00:09:00,360 --> 00:09:03,360 Speaker 2: great fundamental tackling as we saw throughout the week.

Jim. 352 00:14:49,560 --> 00:14:51,760 Speaker 2: Who's a couple of guys that maybe you're looking forward 353 00:14:51,800 --> 00:14:54,080 Speaker 2: to seeing get out there on the Turfet Lucas Oil 354 00:14:54,080 --> 00:14:55,240 Speaker 2: Stadium that were down in Mobile. 355 00:14:56,120 --> 00:14:56,320 Speaker 3: Well. 356 00:14:56,360 --> 00:14:59,920 Speaker 4: The first Mobile's fastest man Darien Porter Corner from Iowa State. 357 00:15:00,360 --> 00:15:02,880 Speaker 4: Over the last seven years, there's only been five guys 358 00:15:02,920 --> 00:15:07,120 Speaker 4: at twenty two miles per hour on our Zebra Technology GPS. 359 00:15:07,640 --> 00:15:10,000 Speaker 4: Four of the five and run four three five are faster, 360 00:15:10,200 --> 00:15:13,320 Speaker 4: so Porter's gonna blaze. The other guy would be Shamar James, 361 00:15:13,360 --> 00:15:16,600 Speaker 4: the linebacker from Florida. This guy was our fastest linebacker, 362 00:15:16,760 --> 00:15:19,440 Speaker 4: the seventh fastest overall player in the game this year. 363 00:15:19,680 --> 00:15:22,800 Speaker 4: The only guy's faster four DB's and two wide receivers. 364 00:15:23,000 --> 00:15:25,920 Speaker 4: So Shamar James is another guy who had a great week, 365 00:15:26,000 --> 00:15:28,000 Speaker 4: kind of flying under the radar. Look for him to 366 00:15:28,040 --> 00:15:29,720 Speaker 4: do some big things this week in Indy as well. 367 00:15:30,280 --> 00:15:31,880 Speaker 6: Yeah, I look forward to watching those guys.
