29
00:01:30,840 --> 00:01:31,600

30
00:01:31,520 --> 00:01:35,759

32
00:01:39,280 --> 00:01:43,600
Speaker 2: talking football with this guy. Here's what he had to say, Preg.

33
00:01:43,319 --> 00:01:47,280
Speaker 3: Cosell, we're straightening out who went to Amherst at Greg

34
00:01:47,280 --> 00:01:49,960
Speaker 3: Cosell went to Amherst, Who went to Williams?

35
00:01:50,760 --> 00:01:52,080
Speaker 4: Bob Nutting went to Williams.

36
00:01:52,360 --> 00:01:54,720
Speaker 3: The owner of the fires Oh yeah, okay, so and

37
00:01:54,760 --> 00:01:56,720
Speaker 3: then he hired a couple of Amherst gms and always

38
00:01:56,720 --> 00:01:58,640
Speaker 3: held it over him. Then, right when you look at

39
00:01:58,640 --> 00:02:01,600
Speaker 3: those college rankings, so they have the college and university

40
00:02:01,680 --> 00:02:05,440
Speaker 3: rankings that the number one college in America is always

41
00:02:05,920 --> 00:02:07,680
Speaker 3: always Williams.

42
00:02:07,360 --> 00:02:09,919
Speaker 4: And number two is always Amherst. Always.

43
00:02:10,040 --> 00:02:13,720
Speaker 3: I thought, I thought, I thought I saw always Okay,

44
00:02:13,760 --> 00:02:16,359
Speaker 3: so I thought I thought I saw a ranking. Once

45
00:02:16,400 --> 00:02:18,000
Speaker 3: I told Neil Huntington. I was like, hey, man, I

46
00:02:18,000 --> 00:02:20,200
Speaker 3: think I saw a ranking where Amherst is ahead of Williams. Oh,

47
00:02:20,200 --> 00:02:21,519
Speaker 3: you got to find that for me so I can

48
00:02:21,639 --> 00:02:23,760
Speaker 3: show it to Bob nutting you know, And I couldn't.

49
00:02:23,760 --> 00:02:26,480
Speaker 4: I never found it. Twitches every once in a while, Okay,

50
00:02:26,520 --> 00:02:30,240
Speaker 4: all right, all right. So Greg coach football at some point,

51
00:02:32,000 --> 00:02:32,560
Speaker 4: and I.

52
00:02:32,480 --> 00:02:34,200
Speaker 3: Told Greg, I want to go to I want to

53
00:02:34,200 --> 00:02:38,720
Speaker 3: go to Amherst and Williams, the oldest rivalry in college football.

54
00:02:38,760 --> 00:02:39,520
Speaker 3: People might not know.

55
00:02:39,480 --> 00:02:41,399
Speaker 4: He bade him this year fifteen fourteen.

56
00:02:41,800 --> 00:02:42,040
Speaker 2: Nice.

57
00:02:42,480 --> 00:02:45,920
Speaker 4: Yeah, probably a barn burner. Oh sure it was.

58
00:02:45,960 --> 00:02:47,320
Speaker 5: Any prospects of that game.

59
00:02:48,840 --> 00:02:52,280
Speaker 3: Only guys, probably out of law school, prospects of guys

60
00:02:52,320 --> 00:02:57,079
Speaker 3: who will be running football and baseball team in the future. Greg,

61
00:02:57,160 --> 00:03:00,160
Speaker 3: thank you very much for joining us. So i'm what

62
00:03:00,240 --> 00:03:03,560
Speaker 3: is your process like leading up to the draft as

63
00:03:03,760 --> 00:03:05,399
Speaker 3: as such a well respected guy.

64
00:03:06,080 --> 00:03:09,680
Speaker 6: I mean, basically, all I do is grind watching tape

65
00:03:09,720 --> 00:03:12,880
Speaker 6: and I never take shortcuts. So, for instance, when it

66
00:03:12,919 --> 00:03:16,040
Speaker 6: comes to let's say, defensive players, to me, you have

67
00:03:16,080 --> 00:03:18,920
Speaker 6: to watch full games. So I will watch five or

68
00:03:19,000 --> 00:03:21,919
Speaker 6: six full games and sometimes more depending on who the

69
00:03:21,960 --> 00:03:24,560
Speaker 6: player is. Because sometimes I just get a little crazy.

70
00:03:24,600 --> 00:03:25,840
Speaker 6: You know, most people who know me know I'm a

71
00:03:25,880 --> 00:03:28,360
Speaker 6: little bit of a lunatic about this stuff. You know,

72
00:03:28,400 --> 00:03:31,080
Speaker 6: But I watch full games of defensive players because you

73
00:03:31,160 --> 00:03:33,640
Speaker 6: have to, in my opinion, to do it right. Because

74
00:03:34,000 --> 00:03:36,880
Speaker 6: you know, for people that know me, I don't do

75
00:03:37,000 --> 00:03:39,119
Speaker 6: this for clicks. I don't do it to make both

76
00:03:39,200 --> 00:03:40,320
Speaker 6: controversial statements.

77
00:03:40,800 --> 00:03:41,000
Speaker 4: You know.

78
00:03:41,520 --> 00:03:42,920
Speaker 6: I do it because I want to do it the

79
00:03:43,000 --> 00:03:46,120
Speaker 6: right way. I mean, for me, it's about the respect

80
00:03:46,200 --> 00:03:50,000
Speaker 6: and integrity from you know, coaches, personnel, people in the league.

81
00:03:50,120 --> 00:03:51,600
Speaker 6: I mean, I had a three and a half half

82
00:03:51,680 --> 00:03:54,040
Speaker 6: hour lunch with a decoordinator yesterday.

83
00:03:54,200 --> 00:03:55,440
Speaker 4: He gave me three and a half hours.

84
00:03:55,480 --> 00:03:57,360
Speaker 6: I don't think you'd give me that unless you know

85
00:03:57,400 --> 00:03:59,160
Speaker 6: there was a respect because we were just talking ball

86
00:03:59,240 --> 00:04:01,720
Speaker 6: for three and a half hour. You know, because I'm

87
00:04:01,720 --> 00:04:03,320
Speaker 6: not the kind of guy. I don't care what their

88
00:04:03,360 --> 00:04:05,760
Speaker 6: board looks like. I don't care who they're going to draft.

89
00:04:06,080 --> 00:04:08,120
Speaker 6: You know, I don't care about that stuff. When they draft,

90
00:04:08,120 --> 00:04:09,040
Speaker 6: I'll see who they draft.

91
00:04:09,400 --> 00:04:09,600
Speaker 4: You know.

92
00:04:09,920 --> 00:04:12,320
Speaker 6: I just love talking ball, and I'm always trying to

93
00:04:12,400 --> 00:04:15,400
Speaker 6: learn more and more and more. I just wasn't trying

94
00:04:15,440 --> 00:04:18,520
Speaker 6: to think always equated I'm a big novels reader, and

95
00:04:18,560 --> 00:04:20,560
Speaker 6: I go to Barnes and Noble every Saturday. That's like

96
00:04:20,560 --> 00:04:23,479
Speaker 6: my happy place on a Saturday. And I equated to

97
00:04:23,520 --> 00:04:25,839
Speaker 6: going into Barnes and Noble, and there's a thousand books

98
00:04:25,880 --> 00:04:27,880
Speaker 6: that I know I want to read. I'll never get

99
00:04:27,920 --> 00:04:30,480
Speaker 6: to because exactly because life's too short. That's the way

100
00:04:30,520 --> 00:04:33,120
Speaker 6: I feel about learning more about football all the time.

101
00:04:33,160 --> 00:04:35,760
Speaker 6: I want to keep learning and learning and learning. But

102
00:04:35,839 --> 00:04:38,400
Speaker 6: I know there's some things I'll never know because I'm

103
00:04:38,440 --> 00:04:40,280
Speaker 6: not going to be sitting in their meetings. You know,

104
00:04:40,320 --> 00:04:41,640
Speaker 6: I'm not going to be in there when they're doing

105
00:04:41,640 --> 00:04:44,080
Speaker 6: their game plans, you know, which is why I never

106
00:04:44,160 --> 00:04:47,240
Speaker 6: talk about game plans and play calls because you don't

107
00:04:47,240 --> 00:04:47,800
Speaker 6: know about that.

108
00:04:47,839 --> 00:04:50,200
Speaker 4: You just don't know. Right. So, by the way, Greg

109
00:04:50,240 --> 00:04:51,880
Speaker 4: and I have to have a long conversation when we're done.

110
00:04:51,960 --> 00:04:52,400
Speaker 4: We're having a.

111
00:04:52,400 --> 00:04:57,760
Speaker 3: Conversation published author over here, So real real quick, me too. Actually,

112
00:04:58,200 --> 00:05:01,440
Speaker 3: before we get into novel or we'll talk, we'll talk

113
00:05:01,520 --> 00:05:03,839
Speaker 3: after it. So before we was a football book, before

114
00:05:03,839 --> 00:05:07,400
Speaker 3: we get into uh into this, you have seen you

115
00:05:07,400 --> 00:05:08,480
Speaker 3: said forty six years.

116
00:05:09,240 --> 00:05:10,719
Speaker 4: I finished my forty six season.

117
00:05:10,800 --> 00:05:14,000
Speaker 3: Yes, So I mean I remember growing up as a

118
00:05:14,120 --> 00:05:18,400
Speaker 3: huge NFL fan and the draft wasn't that big of

119
00:05:18,400 --> 00:05:21,560
Speaker 3: a deal. With Radio City Music Hall, Phil Simms gets drafted,

120
00:05:21,600 --> 00:05:22,520
Speaker 3: the fans there's on it.

121
00:05:22,520 --> 00:05:25,360
Speaker 4: It was like on a Tuesday morning, Yeah, so, how have.

122
00:05:25,360 --> 00:05:26,520
Speaker 5: You see the only day of the year my mom

123
00:05:26,560 --> 00:05:27,320
Speaker 5: would let me stay home.

124
00:05:27,480 --> 00:05:28,679
Speaker 4: So it's awesome.

125
00:05:28,720 --> 00:05:29,839
Speaker 5: I could have one hundred and five fever.

126
00:05:30,800 --> 00:05:32,880
Speaker 4: I was always sick on the opening day of baseball.

127
00:05:32,880 --> 00:05:35,680
Speaker 6: Since funny how that work. It's funny how that worked.

128
00:05:35,720 --> 00:05:38,080
Speaker 6: You know how you've seen it? How have you seen

129
00:05:38,120 --> 00:05:38,599
Speaker 6: it grow?

130
00:05:38,640 --> 00:05:40,800
Speaker 4: And is it? Look it's it's grown to.

131
00:05:40,880 --> 00:05:44,039
Speaker 3: The to the betterment of the game of football and

132
00:05:44,080 --> 00:05:46,880
Speaker 3: its popularity. There's so many different I mean, this is

133
00:05:47,000 --> 00:05:48,600
Speaker 3: obviously a nuanced question.

134
00:05:48,360 --> 00:05:49,120
Speaker 4: About the combine.

135
00:05:49,120 --> 00:05:51,240
Speaker 6: Who would have thought that guy's running around in shorts

136
00:05:51,240 --> 00:05:53,000
Speaker 6: and a T shirt would get great ratings?

137
00:05:53,120 --> 00:05:53,320
Speaker 5: Right?

138
00:05:53,480 --> 00:05:57,359
Speaker 6: I actually produced the first combine years ago, and because

139
00:05:57,400 --> 00:06:01,120
Speaker 6: it was so secretive still, because I remember having conference

140
00:06:01,120 --> 00:06:03,560
Speaker 6: calls with the exec you know, the competition Committee, the

141
00:06:03,560 --> 00:06:06,240
Speaker 6: home grouns, the Jeff Fisher's and like they were like, well,

142
00:06:06,240 --> 00:06:08,400
Speaker 6: we're not telling anybody what the forty times are. We're not,

143
00:06:08,560 --> 00:06:11,440
Speaker 6: We're not you know it was so secretive and therefore,

144
00:06:11,560 --> 00:06:14,360
Speaker 6: just being honest, I did such a crappy job producing it,

145
00:06:14,600 --> 00:06:17,159
Speaker 6: you know, because I didn't know how to do it,

146
00:06:17,240 --> 00:06:20,320
Speaker 6: because there was they weren't giving any information, and they

147
00:06:20,320 --> 00:06:23,000
Speaker 6: wouldn't even let us, you know, have cameras or anything

148
00:06:23,040 --> 00:06:25,599
Speaker 6: while the event was going on. So we literally had

149
00:06:25,640 --> 00:06:27,920
Speaker 6: to wait till it was over, you know, and then

150
00:06:28,000 --> 00:06:30,120
Speaker 6: go in the dome and try to do a show.

151
00:06:30,440 --> 00:06:32,680
Speaker 6: And like I said, quite frankly, I did a crappy job,

152
00:06:32,720 --> 00:06:34,919
Speaker 6: and I was told about it, and that's fine, you know.

153
00:06:35,200 --> 00:06:38,279
Speaker 6: But you know, now obviously it's it's you know, it's

154
00:06:38,320 --> 00:06:39,560
Speaker 6: big money, it's big TV.

155
00:06:39,680 --> 00:06:41,480
Speaker 4: People love it, yep, yep.

156
00:06:41,600 --> 00:06:43,320
Speaker 5: So Greg, there's so many prospects I want to talk

157
00:06:43,320 --> 00:06:46,039
Speaker 5: to you about. But you're so good schematically too. I

158
00:06:46,080 --> 00:06:48,800
Speaker 5: think we have to start from a stealer's perspective of

159
00:06:49,320 --> 00:06:51,720
Speaker 5: I'm gonna start with offense. You know what happens when

160
00:06:51,720 --> 00:06:55,200
Speaker 5: we go from Arthur Smith to McCarthy's offense. I mean,

161
00:06:55,320 --> 00:06:58,240
Speaker 5: what are the obvious changes that our listeners should be

162
00:06:58,240 --> 00:06:58,880
Speaker 5: looking for here?

163
00:06:59,600 --> 00:07:00,559
Speaker 4: That's a great question.

164
00:07:00,640 --> 00:07:02,919
Speaker 6: I mean, on a certain and this is a thirty

165
00:07:02,960 --> 00:07:07,600
Speaker 6: thousand foot statement, you know, both want to run the ball.

166
00:07:07,680 --> 00:07:09,920
Speaker 6: I mean McCarthy wants to start with the run game.

167
00:07:09,960 --> 00:07:12,040
Speaker 6: I mean, you go back to his great years. Obviously,

168
00:07:12,080 --> 00:07:14,680
Speaker 6: everybody you know remembers Aaron Rodgers, and you know he's

169
00:07:14,680 --> 00:07:16,920
Speaker 6: a Hall of Famer. That's not even the question. But

170
00:07:16,960 --> 00:07:18,680
Speaker 6: I mean when he was there, I mean they ran

171
00:07:18,760 --> 00:07:21,240
Speaker 6: the ball. You know, Dorsey Levins had big years there

172
00:07:21,400 --> 00:07:23,960
Speaker 6: and he carried two hundred and seventy two hundred eighty times.

173
00:07:24,280 --> 00:07:27,400
Speaker 6: You know, So McCarthy's not just a throwball guy by

174
00:07:27,440 --> 00:07:31,040
Speaker 6: any stretch of the imagination. So the question is do

175
00:07:31,120 --> 00:07:33,920
Speaker 6: they have that back? You know, Game was a free

176
00:07:33,920 --> 00:07:35,760
Speaker 6: agent and he's not that back anyway to carry two

177
00:07:35,840 --> 00:07:37,720
Speaker 6: hundred seventy times. But I think he's a really good

178
00:07:37,720 --> 00:07:41,440
Speaker 6: football player. You know, I really like Jalen Warren. But

179
00:07:41,520 --> 00:07:43,920
Speaker 6: is he a two hundred and seventy carry a guy season?

180
00:07:44,000 --> 00:07:45,640
Speaker 6: You know, I think that would be a question. Yeah,

181
00:07:45,640 --> 00:07:47,480
Speaker 6: when you guys agree that that's a question.

182
00:07:47,280 --> 00:07:49,000
Speaker 4: I'd like to see it. Yes, it's a question a

183
00:07:49,040 --> 00:07:51,200
Speaker 4: little much. Yeah, but he's a good player. I mean

184
00:07:51,240 --> 00:07:52,000
Speaker 4: I like him a lot.

185
00:07:52,080 --> 00:07:54,480
Speaker 5: And Caleb Johnson showed nothing well right.

186
00:07:54,240 --> 00:07:55,480
Speaker 6: Now, And I'll be honest with you, I did not

187
00:07:55,560 --> 00:07:58,080
Speaker 6: love Caleb Johnson coming out of Iowa. I thought he

188
00:07:58,200 --> 00:08:00,760
Speaker 6: was a big back who didn't run big so and

189
00:08:00,800 --> 00:08:04,280
Speaker 6: he wasn't. He wasn't you know, explosive enough to be,

190
00:08:04,360 --> 00:08:06,840
Speaker 6: you know, a that kind of back. Yeah, so we'll see.

191
00:08:06,880 --> 00:08:08,520
Speaker 6: I mean, maybe he'll turn out to be a good player.

192
00:08:08,560 --> 00:08:11,200
Speaker 6: I mean, he's it's probably I don't want to say

193
00:08:11,200 --> 00:08:13,040
Speaker 6: it's his last shot, but he's got to show something

194
00:08:13,040 --> 00:08:15,760
Speaker 6: this year, you know, through the through the the workouts

195
00:08:15,760 --> 00:08:19,040
Speaker 6: and the whole deal. So McCarthy definitely wants to run

196
00:08:19,080 --> 00:08:22,400
Speaker 6: the football. I guess you know, you were telling me

197
00:08:22,480 --> 00:08:24,720
Speaker 6: before we started this that it looks like Rogers is

198
00:08:24,760 --> 00:08:25,320
Speaker 6: going to come back.

199
00:08:25,400 --> 00:08:27,679
Speaker 5: I would bet on it just reading the tea leaves.

200
00:08:28,000 --> 00:08:29,640
Speaker 5: You know, Yeah, it's a hunch. There's not a lot

201
00:08:29,680 --> 00:08:31,280
Speaker 5: of other options, to be honest.

202
00:08:31,080 --> 00:08:33,120
Speaker 6: And again you're dealing with a guy. Look, is he

203
00:08:33,240 --> 00:08:35,480
Speaker 6: Aaron Rodgers from you know, ten years ago? Of course not.

204
00:08:35,800 --> 00:08:40,000
Speaker 6: Does he know McCarthy's offense. Obviously, he's certainly not the

205
00:08:40,000 --> 00:08:42,880
Speaker 6: same quarterback. I mean, you know, the one thing about

206
00:08:42,920 --> 00:08:45,319
Speaker 6: the Steelers and and you know it really showed up

207
00:08:45,440 --> 00:08:48,160
Speaker 6: is and Rodgers has always been like this to a

208
00:08:48,160 --> 00:08:51,960
Speaker 6: certain degree. You know, he likes to throw the ball

209
00:08:52,000 --> 00:08:53,800
Speaker 6: outside the numbers. They don't really work the middle of

210
00:08:53,840 --> 00:08:55,959
Speaker 6: the field very well. Now, I don't know if that.

211
00:08:56,360 --> 00:08:59,079
Speaker 6: You know, again, when you're dealing with Aaron Rodgers, and

212
00:08:59,120 --> 00:09:01,439
Speaker 6: I was told this year's ago that when you're dealing

213
00:09:01,440 --> 00:09:04,920
Speaker 6: with a veteran quarterback who's great on many levels, you

214
00:09:05,080 --> 00:09:08,400
Speaker 6: deal it's kind of their offense, and you kind of work,

215
00:09:08,640 --> 00:09:10,240
Speaker 6: you know, in other words, you don't come in and say,

216
00:09:10,280 --> 00:09:12,680
Speaker 6: here's what we're gonna do. When you're gonna do it regardless,

217
00:09:12,920 --> 00:09:14,640
Speaker 6: you kind of work with what they want to do.

218
00:09:14,920 --> 00:09:17,199
Speaker 5: It really went that way, stronger and stronger as the

219
00:09:17,280 --> 00:09:17,800
Speaker 5: year went on.

220
00:09:17,960 --> 00:09:20,160
Speaker 6: And I mean, look, I'm not a coach, and I'm

221
00:09:20,160 --> 00:09:21,600
Speaker 6: not going to sit here and say that you know

222
00:09:21,640 --> 00:09:23,400
Speaker 6: what's right or wrong, because I don't know the answer

223
00:09:23,480 --> 00:09:25,120
Speaker 6: to that. But I think there has to be a

224
00:09:25,160 --> 00:09:27,800
Speaker 6: balance there. It can't just be what Aaron Rodgers wants

225
00:09:27,840 --> 00:09:31,079
Speaker 6: to do. It has McCarthy has to have his offense

226
00:09:31,160 --> 00:09:33,920
Speaker 6: in place and run it. Is he I mean, is

227
00:09:33,920 --> 00:09:34,880
Speaker 6: he going to be the play call?

228
00:09:35,080 --> 00:09:35,240
Speaker 4: Yes?

229
00:09:35,320 --> 00:09:36,000
Speaker 5: Yeah, Okay.

230
00:09:36,080 --> 00:09:40,920
Speaker 4: Who they bring in is OC Brian Angelki from the Vikings.

231
00:09:41,320 --> 00:09:44,720
Speaker 6: Because there's a tight end coach McCarthy's going to call

232
00:09:44,760 --> 00:09:45,840
Speaker 6: you know, yeah, yeah, So you know.

233
00:09:45,840 --> 00:09:49,480
Speaker 3: I my son actually asked me this question about the

234
00:09:49,520 --> 00:09:51,319
Speaker 3: West Coast offense because it's the first time I think

235
00:09:51,320 --> 00:09:53,719
Speaker 3: to see there's sort of running a West Coast Mike

236
00:09:53,800 --> 00:09:55,440
Speaker 3: McCarthy influenced West Coast offense.

237
00:09:55,480 --> 00:09:57,560
Speaker 4: And he said, you know, Dad, what is a West

238
00:09:57,559 --> 00:09:58,920
Speaker 4: Coast offense? And I was like, well, it's a hard

239
00:09:58,960 --> 00:10:00,000
Speaker 4: question answer right now.

240
00:10:00,080 --> 00:10:03,040
Speaker 3: And I think about quarterbacks rolling out short past to

241
00:10:03,160 --> 00:10:05,520
Speaker 3: Roger Craig in the flat, pick up five yards, run

242
00:10:05,559 --> 00:10:06,720
Speaker 3: the ball a little bit take.

243
00:10:09,080 --> 00:10:12,160
Speaker 4: But that's what I'm saying. Like, so I'm thinking to myself, well.

244
00:10:11,960 --> 00:10:15,440
Speaker 3: It's obviously adapted since then, and I don't know how

245
00:10:16,000 --> 00:10:18,079
Speaker 3: how would you do How would you answer that question?

246
00:10:18,600 --> 00:10:22,600
Speaker 6: Well, first of all, I think there's elements of many

247
00:10:22,640 --> 00:10:27,120
Speaker 6: offenses now in whatever team you know, they run mostly

248
00:10:27,200 --> 00:10:30,160
Speaker 6: It's funny. I had a three hour lunch with a

249
00:10:30,280 --> 00:10:33,200
Speaker 6: d C in the league yesterday and he basically said, look,

250
00:10:33,200 --> 00:10:34,640
Speaker 6: everybody runs the same place.

251
00:10:34,960 --> 00:10:36,520
Speaker 4: It's basically how they get.

252
00:10:36,360 --> 00:10:38,840
Speaker 6: To him the precision with which they run them, which

253
00:10:38,960 --> 00:10:41,400
Speaker 6: you know, because he was saying that a team like

254
00:10:41,440 --> 00:10:44,760
Speaker 6: the Rams, you know, runs them with unbelievable precision, and

255
00:10:44,800 --> 00:10:47,160
Speaker 6: the way they get to them makes it hard to defend.

256
00:10:47,559 --> 00:10:51,000
Speaker 6: You know, I think that the Kyle Shanahan offense would

257
00:10:51,000 --> 00:10:55,280
Speaker 6: theoretically be a descendant of his dad. The Mike Shanahan

258
00:10:55,320 --> 00:10:58,120
Speaker 6: offense would probably be a descendant of the Bill Walsh

259
00:10:58,160 --> 00:10:59,560
Speaker 6: offense to some degree.

260
00:10:59,760 --> 00:11:02,040
Speaker 4: But there's there's changes. It's mutated.

261
00:11:02,160 --> 00:11:04,800
Speaker 6: It's mutated, Yeah, there's I know, look back in the day,

262
00:11:04,840 --> 00:11:07,440
Speaker 6: I think it was more defined. There were sort of two,

263
00:11:08,080 --> 00:11:10,760
Speaker 6: probably more than two, but two that we always spoke about.

264
00:11:10,880 --> 00:11:13,160
Speaker 6: We spoke about the West Coast offense, you know, the

265
00:11:13,480 --> 00:11:15,720
Speaker 6: Bill Walsh version, and then we spoke about.

266
00:11:15,480 --> 00:11:16,720
Speaker 4: The Don Coriel offense.

267
00:11:16,920 --> 00:11:19,720
Speaker 6: Well, you know, and they had different components to them,

268
00:11:19,720 --> 00:11:24,359
Speaker 6: different philosophies. Okay, I think now that most offenses incorporate

269
00:11:24,480 --> 00:11:25,600
Speaker 6: parts of everything.

270
00:11:25,640 --> 00:11:27,560
Speaker 5: They've just cross brand so much.

271
00:11:27,559 --> 00:11:31,040
Speaker 7: It's funny to bring that up because McCarthy's introductory press

272
00:11:31,080 --> 00:11:34,520
Speaker 7: conference he said, I have West Coast principles.

273
00:11:34,760 --> 00:11:36,440
Speaker 4: Right, I would never say I run the.

274
00:11:36,440 --> 00:11:39,080
Speaker 7: West Coast office, right, And everybody else says he runs

275
00:11:39,080 --> 00:11:39,880
Speaker 7: the West Coast all.

276
00:11:39,840 --> 00:11:41,199
Speaker 4: Right, and he probably doesn't.

277
00:11:41,200 --> 00:11:45,040
Speaker 6: Again, I didn't stirbage, Probably I didn't, Right, It's the

278
00:11:45,080 --> 00:11:48,320
Speaker 6: methodology and the verbians. That that's where what it really

279
00:11:48,320 --> 00:11:50,760
Speaker 6: comes down to. You know, it's more than anything else.

280
00:11:50,800 --> 00:11:54,400
Speaker 6: But as far as plays, everybody runs the same plays.

281
00:11:54,640 --> 00:11:57,920
Speaker 6: I mean there's not a thousand route concepts. Everybody runs

282
00:11:57,960 --> 00:11:58,800
Speaker 6: the same plays.

283
00:11:58,880 --> 00:12:01,160
Speaker 7: Well, these coaches make it so like there are sometimes

284
00:12:01,160 --> 00:12:04,120
Speaker 7: that the kind of makes me feel like I don't

285
00:12:04,160 --> 00:12:04,839
Speaker 7: really know that.

286
00:12:05,120 --> 00:12:09,199
Speaker 6: No, No, it's it's it's it's personnel, it's formation, it's

287
00:12:09,240 --> 00:12:11,120
Speaker 6: pre pre snap motions.

288
00:12:10,760 --> 00:12:12,479
Speaker 4: It's how you get to these plays.

289
00:12:12,600 --> 00:12:14,720
Speaker 5: But you would expect personnel to be different, right, I

290
00:12:14,720 --> 00:12:16,880
Speaker 5: mean I assume there'll be a lot more three wides,

291
00:12:17,040 --> 00:12:19,640
Speaker 5: a lot fewer two and three tight end sets. That

292
00:12:19,720 --> 00:12:22,080
Speaker 5: was a big Arthur Smith thing, big Arthur Smith thing. Yeah.

293
00:12:22,120 --> 00:12:24,480
Speaker 6: Yeah, I mean they were among the league leaders in

294
00:12:24,559 --> 00:12:28,319
Speaker 6: you know, twelve personnel and thirteen personnel and extra alignment, yeah,

295
00:12:28,360 --> 00:12:29,080
Speaker 6: extra alignment.

296
00:12:29,280 --> 00:12:29,480
Speaker 4: Yeah.

297
00:12:29,520 --> 00:12:31,760
Speaker 5: I mean there's be a lot more wide receivers on

298
00:12:31,800 --> 00:12:32,080
Speaker 5: the field.

299
00:12:32,080 --> 00:12:34,000
Speaker 4: I you would think, Yeah, I mean about who are

300
00:12:34,000 --> 00:12:34,480
Speaker 4: they going to be?

301
00:12:34,679 --> 00:12:36,440
Speaker 5: Well, they don't have them at the moment, right, I

302
00:12:36,440 --> 00:12:38,280
Speaker 5: want to ask you about a bunch of them, right.

303
00:12:40,400 --> 00:12:43,320
Speaker 7: That's more about what the offense is going to look like, right,

304
00:12:43,960 --> 00:12:46,480
Speaker 7: How about the defense when when McCarthy talked to us

305
00:12:46,480 --> 00:12:48,640
Speaker 7: for the first time, he said, I've only had one

306
00:12:48,760 --> 00:12:51,960
Speaker 7: top five defense in my career and we won the

307
00:12:52,000 --> 00:12:52,920
Speaker 7: Super Bowl that year.

308
00:12:53,160 --> 00:12:55,480
Speaker 4: So how come he hasn't had more than one? Well,

309
00:12:55,480 --> 00:12:56,679
Speaker 4: who's the decoordinator now?

310
00:12:57,280 --> 00:12:58,320
Speaker 5: Came in from the Raiders.

311
00:12:58,720 --> 00:13:00,520
Speaker 4: Patrick's been around.

312
00:13:00,640 --> 00:13:02,320
Speaker 5: Yeah, I think it'll be drastically different.

313
00:13:02,480 --> 00:13:05,480
Speaker 6: Yeah, I mean, well, historically he's not been a big

314
00:13:05,559 --> 00:13:06,080
Speaker 6: blitz guy.

315
00:13:06,240 --> 00:13:11,000
Speaker 4: Historically, you know, he's been a guy about Graham, not McCarthy, right, yeah,

316
00:13:11,040 --> 00:13:12,000
Speaker 4: but Graham Graham.

317
00:13:12,080 --> 00:13:12,400
Speaker 5: Yeah.

318
00:13:12,440 --> 00:13:15,720
Speaker 6: Well again, we don't know how much McCarthy. You know, look,

319
00:13:15,760 --> 00:13:19,120
Speaker 6: this is McCarthy's third shot. You know, who knows how

320
00:13:19,160 --> 00:13:22,040
Speaker 6: he's going to feel about the overall team now, whether

321
00:13:22,080 --> 00:13:24,319
Speaker 6: he wants it to be what he wants or whether

322
00:13:24,360 --> 00:13:27,200
Speaker 6: it's Patrick Graham's going to do his thing and McCarthy's not.

323
00:13:27,200 --> 00:13:29,160
Speaker 6: Really you know that he's gonna leave him alone. We

324
00:13:29,160 --> 00:13:31,960
Speaker 6: don't know the answer to that. But you know, Graham

325
00:13:32,080 --> 00:13:34,719
Speaker 6: historically has not been a big blitz guy. He's been

326
00:13:34,760 --> 00:13:36,920
Speaker 6: more of his own guy than a man guy. But

327
00:13:37,679 --> 00:13:39,920
Speaker 6: you know, he it depends on your personnel. I mean,

328
00:13:39,960 --> 00:13:42,000
Speaker 6: I think Joey Porter is a good Man coverage corner.

329
00:13:42,080 --> 00:13:43,920
Speaker 6: You might you might want to play more. You know,

330
00:13:44,080 --> 00:13:46,600
Speaker 6: these are things we don't know right now, you know.

331
00:13:46,800 --> 00:13:49,839
Speaker 6: But but yeah, Graham, I'm just telling you what he's

332
00:13:49,840 --> 00:13:51,640
Speaker 6: done in the past. That's all we have right now

333
00:13:51,720 --> 00:13:53,680
Speaker 6: until they start, you know, getting on the field.

334
00:13:53,760 --> 00:13:55,400
Speaker 3: And I like the fact that both guys said that

335
00:13:55,400 --> 00:13:58,040
Speaker 3: they were tailor their systems somewhat to the personnel. Well,

336
00:13:58,080 --> 00:14:01,320
Speaker 3: you have to, especially coming off a FC North championship team.

337
00:14:01,480 --> 00:14:03,600
Speaker 3: This isn't a rip it down to the studs. We're

338
00:14:03,640 --> 00:14:06,959
Speaker 3: gonna we're gonna populate it with we run take our lumps.

339
00:14:07,120 --> 00:14:10,000
Speaker 3: So Greg Kusult from NFL Films that great analysts is

340
00:14:10,000 --> 00:14:14,000
Speaker 3: our guest as you assessed this draft, is it strong

341
00:14:14,080 --> 00:14:16,400
Speaker 3: or weak? Are there strengths or weaknesses in a certain areas?

342
00:14:16,640 --> 00:14:18,400
Speaker 3: Is there more depth and top end town.

343
00:14:18,280 --> 00:14:20,080
Speaker 6: And I'm just to be honest, I'm just really getting

344
00:14:20,120 --> 00:14:22,760
Speaker 6: started because I felt like the Super Bowl just happened yesterday,

345
00:14:23,640 --> 00:14:26,440
Speaker 6: you know. So, uh, you know, I have a baseline

346
00:14:26,440 --> 00:14:27,920
Speaker 6: on a lot of guys, and then there are some

347
00:14:27,920 --> 00:14:31,200
Speaker 6: guys I've done a lot of work on already, Like

348
00:14:31,240 --> 00:14:32,720
Speaker 6: I've done twelve wide receivers.

349
00:14:32,760 --> 00:14:35,080
Speaker 5: I've done you know, definitely want to hit.

350
00:14:36,200 --> 00:14:40,000
Speaker 6: I've done random defensive players. You know it's not a

351
00:14:40,040 --> 00:14:44,760
Speaker 6: great quarterback draft obviously, so you know my sense is here.

352
00:14:44,880 --> 00:14:46,680
Speaker 4: Here's the way I see this draft right now.

353
00:14:47,040 --> 00:14:49,600
Speaker 6: I think in a given year, most gms would tell

354
00:14:49,640 --> 00:14:52,880
Speaker 6: you there's probably fifteen to eighteen players that truly had

355
00:14:52,960 --> 00:14:54,240
Speaker 6: first round grades.

356
00:14:54,080 --> 00:14:56,760
Speaker 4: But obviously got a draft. I would bet this year

357
00:14:56,760 --> 00:14:57,720
Speaker 4: there might only be ten.

358
00:14:58,240 --> 00:15:00,600
Speaker 5: I don't think this is a now it seems like

359
00:15:00,640 --> 00:15:02,880
Speaker 5: few are blue chippers. Yes, I would agree with you

360
00:15:02,920 --> 00:15:04,320
Speaker 5: don't want to pick two and three in this line

361
00:15:04,480 --> 00:15:07,880
Speaker 5: for instance wide receivers, and we can good segue into that. Yeah,

362
00:15:08,480 --> 00:15:10,800
Speaker 5: I think there's gonna be a lot of wide receivers who.

363
00:15:10,960 --> 00:15:13,160
Speaker 5: When I say a lot, there'll be wide receivers taken

364
00:15:13,200 --> 00:15:17,080
Speaker 5: in the first round, probably relatively high who from my

365
00:15:17,560 --> 00:15:20,760
Speaker 5: evaluation in film study, should not be taken there. But

366
00:15:20,800 --> 00:15:23,120
Speaker 5: you got to draft someone, you know you don't You

367
00:15:23,160 --> 00:15:25,000
Speaker 5: don't say, well, we're not drafting in the first round,

368
00:15:25,280 --> 00:15:27,680
Speaker 5: so you gotta draft someone. So guys are going to

369
00:15:27,720 --> 00:15:30,840
Speaker 5: be drafted in my view at wide receiver who I

370
00:15:30,880 --> 00:15:33,200
Speaker 5: don't think they would be graded.

371
00:15:32,760 --> 00:15:34,360
Speaker 4: That way, but you gotta draft.

372
00:15:34,760 --> 00:15:36,800
Speaker 5: I assume you don't think Tate or Lemon or any

373
00:15:36,800 --> 00:15:39,760
Speaker 5: of those guys is comparable to Jamar Chase or oh god.

374
00:15:39,640 --> 00:15:42,320
Speaker 6: There's no Jamar Chase. I remember doing Jamar Chase and

375
00:15:42,360 --> 00:15:46,320
Speaker 6: thinking this guy was truly special. No, there's no Jamar

376
00:15:46,400 --> 00:15:49,120
Speaker 6: Chase in this draft. I like Carnell Tate. I think

377
00:15:49,160 --> 00:15:53,520
Speaker 6: he'll be a good pro Will he be like a

378
00:15:53,560 --> 00:15:57,080
Speaker 6: big time number one? You know, that's always hard to say,

379
00:15:57,240 --> 00:15:59,320
Speaker 6: you know, I normally don't make lists. That's not my thing.

380
00:15:59,320 --> 00:16:01,720
Speaker 6: I just thought the sense of evaluation. But I guess

381
00:16:01,760 --> 00:16:04,880
Speaker 6: if I had to pick the number one wide receiver prospect,

382
00:16:05,120 --> 00:16:07,160
Speaker 6: I would probably say it's Tate. But I don't think

383
00:16:07,200 --> 00:16:09,720
Speaker 6: Tate is worthy of a top five pick. But he

384
00:16:09,720 --> 00:16:11,680
Speaker 6: could very well be a top five pick.

385
00:16:11,480 --> 00:16:14,000
Speaker 5: Because there's probably not five guys worthy of the top five.

386
00:16:13,880 --> 00:16:16,800
Speaker 3: Pick right right right, And a lot of people drawing

387
00:16:16,840 --> 00:16:19,680
Speaker 3: lines to Jordan Tyson because of his time with Hines

388
00:16:19,720 --> 00:16:21,720
Speaker 3: word coaching and coached him down.

389
00:16:22,480 --> 00:16:25,320
Speaker 6: Yeah, And I think, you know, to me, Tyson is

390
00:16:25,640 --> 00:16:28,760
Speaker 6: a solid prospect, but not a big time like to

391
00:16:28,840 --> 00:16:31,480
Speaker 6: me in an ideal world, I think Jordan Tyson is

392
00:16:31,480 --> 00:16:34,840
Speaker 6: like a second round player, and I like him. You know,

393
00:16:34,880 --> 00:16:37,560
Speaker 6: it's funny people. We live in a world where everything

394
00:16:37,640 --> 00:16:40,760
Speaker 6: is an extreme, so people probably think based on what

395
00:16:40,840 --> 00:16:43,800
Speaker 6: I just said, oh, sheel hates Tyson? Right, Yeah, I

396
00:16:43,880 --> 00:16:45,720
Speaker 6: just don't think he's a top five or top ten

397
00:16:45,800 --> 00:16:47,520
Speaker 6: pick in a draft. And I think he could be

398
00:16:47,560 --> 00:16:49,440
Speaker 6: a very good pro. He does a lot of things well.

399
00:16:49,600 --> 00:16:50,920
Speaker 6: Believe me, I wish I had my notes in front

400
00:16:50,920 --> 00:16:53,200
Speaker 6: of him, because I take really detailed notes. But I

401
00:16:53,320 --> 00:16:55,600
Speaker 6: like Tyson, I just don't think he's you know, quote

402
00:16:55,680 --> 00:16:57,120
Speaker 6: unquote special this Their.

403
00:16:57,080 --> 00:16:59,960
Speaker 5: Guy said, you've done ten to twelve.

404
00:17:00,000 --> 00:17:02,960
Speaker 4: I've done twelve wideouts in detail. There's probably four that

405
00:17:03,000 --> 00:17:04,800
Speaker 4: everybody talks about more than the others.

406
00:17:04,880 --> 00:17:07,120
Speaker 7: Is there somebody that's not I'll tell you the guys

407
00:17:07,160 --> 00:17:08,959
Speaker 7: who's not in Boston Lemon the way.

408
00:17:09,920 --> 00:17:12,320
Speaker 6: Well, first of all, I'll tell you I tend to

409
00:17:12,359 --> 00:17:15,000
Speaker 6: talk about guys intriguing me because I try to think

410
00:17:15,040 --> 00:17:17,600
Speaker 6: about how they'll be deployed in the league, you know,

411
00:17:17,600 --> 00:17:19,560
Speaker 6: because that, to me is why we do this. You're

412
00:17:19,600 --> 00:17:21,360
Speaker 6: thinking about how is a guy going to be deployed

413
00:17:21,359 --> 00:17:24,000
Speaker 6: in the NFL. You know, it's not just oh, let's

414
00:17:24,000 --> 00:17:26,360
Speaker 6: look at this guy and you know, how's he gonna fit.

415
00:17:26,800 --> 00:17:30,600
Speaker 6: So I would say Lemon to me and maybe I'm

416
00:17:30,640 --> 00:17:35,880
Speaker 6: in the minority. Lemon is going to probably be five

417
00:17:35,880 --> 00:17:37,960
Speaker 6: to eleven, one ninety five, and I've done him by

418
00:17:38,000 --> 00:17:41,680
Speaker 6: the way his tape. He's not a great athlete. Now

419
00:17:41,680 --> 00:17:45,920
Speaker 6: he's competitive. I came away watching Lemon thinking the guy

420
00:17:45,960 --> 00:17:48,439
Speaker 6: he reminded me of was Khalil Shakir, you know.

421
00:17:48,840 --> 00:17:51,360
Speaker 5: And and people will be like, that's not overwhelming, that's

422
00:17:51,400 --> 00:17:53,680
Speaker 5: not super excited. But he moves the chains and yeah,

423
00:17:53,840 --> 00:17:56,240
Speaker 5: yeah he's still player. Yeah.

424
00:17:56,280 --> 00:17:59,120
Speaker 6: The guys who really intrigued me are Malachi Field from

425
00:17:59,160 --> 00:18:01,560
Speaker 6: Notre Dame, who's six four to two eighteen. Those were

426
00:18:01,560 --> 00:18:06,200
Speaker 6: a numbers of the combine catches, everything really smooth and fluid.

427
00:18:06,520 --> 00:18:08,840
Speaker 6: The question, because there's always a question, don't forget these

428
00:18:08,840 --> 00:18:11,800
Speaker 6: guys are college players, so they are prospects. Yeah, they're

429
00:18:11,840 --> 00:18:13,920
Speaker 6: not like, you know, oh my god, you know, because

430
00:18:13,960 --> 00:18:16,920
Speaker 6: I never talked like that. The question with him would

431
00:18:16,920 --> 00:18:18,840
Speaker 6: be ken He you know, get in the breaks the

432
00:18:18,880 --> 00:18:20,399
Speaker 6: way you want. In other words, Kenny line up with

433
00:18:20,440 --> 00:18:23,160
Speaker 6: what we call boundary X. The single receiver, the guy

434
00:18:23,160 --> 00:18:25,359
Speaker 6: that has to win one all one. Now, he's big,

435
00:18:25,440 --> 00:18:27,479
Speaker 6: he can go up and get it. He's got great hands,

436
00:18:27,680 --> 00:18:30,320
Speaker 6: he's smooth, he's fluid. Can he win one all one

437
00:18:30,359 --> 00:18:31,959
Speaker 6: on you know, normal routes?

438
00:18:33,480 --> 00:18:35,320
Speaker 5: He did it against Pitt right, Oh, he tore pit

439
00:18:35,440 --> 00:18:38,359
Speaker 5: Park best game. Yeah yeah, he was really good. Senior

440
00:18:38,400 --> 00:18:40,000
Speaker 5: Bowl too, That's what I heard.

441
00:18:40,040 --> 00:18:41,920
Speaker 6: I can't go to the Senior Bowl because that's when

442
00:18:41,920 --> 00:18:46,440
Speaker 6: we produce our Super Bowl matchup show. I'm really intrigued

443
00:18:46,480 --> 00:18:49,600
Speaker 6: by Casey Concepcion, who kind of reminded me coming. He

444
00:18:49,680 --> 00:18:52,199
Speaker 6: reminded me of eight Flowers coming out of BC. You know,

445
00:18:52,280 --> 00:18:54,920
Speaker 6: he's got juice. Yeah, you know, he'll be five eleven,

446
00:18:54,960 --> 00:18:57,679
Speaker 6: one eighty seven, you know, but he's got juice and

447
00:18:57,720 --> 00:19:00,600
Speaker 6: he can run after catch. I mean, he he's he's

448
00:19:00,640 --> 00:19:02,600
Speaker 6: a guy that gives you something. You know, he can

449
00:19:02,640 --> 00:19:04,520
Speaker 6: he can take the short pass and take it to

450
00:19:04,560 --> 00:19:04,960
Speaker 6: the house.

451
00:19:05,320 --> 00:19:07,560
Speaker 4: And the concerns you're supposed to be dropped, Yeah, he has.

452
00:19:07,480 --> 00:19:10,080
Speaker 6: Too many drops right now. Whether they're you know again,

453
00:19:11,119 --> 00:19:13,600
Speaker 6: the drop thing is really interesting to me. A good

454
00:19:13,600 --> 00:19:16,240
Speaker 6: friend of mine for years and years is Al Saunders,

455
00:19:16,240 --> 00:19:18,920
Speaker 6: who coached in the league forever, and he always told

456
00:19:18,960 --> 00:19:20,359
Speaker 6: me said, look, you can teach a guy how to

457
00:19:20,359 --> 00:19:21,960
Speaker 6: catch a football. He says, I don't buy that a

458
00:19:21,960 --> 00:19:24,480
Speaker 6: guy can't catch the football. He said, you can teach

459
00:19:24,480 --> 00:19:26,879
Speaker 6: a guy how to place his hands, how to catch

460
00:19:26,920 --> 00:19:28,920
Speaker 6: the football, and now was considered one of the best

461
00:19:28,960 --> 00:19:32,760
Speaker 6: wide receiver coaches ever. So you know, again, then it

462
00:19:32,800 --> 00:19:35,760
Speaker 6: comes down to coaching to some degree. You know, there's

463
00:19:35,760 --> 00:19:38,800
Speaker 6: big receivers, there's field. There's Dndell Boston, who I like,

464
00:19:39,320 --> 00:19:43,240
Speaker 6: Chris Brazlw I think will be an interesting guy because

465
00:19:43,240 --> 00:19:45,800
Speaker 6: he's probably gonna run really well here at the combine.

466
00:19:45,920 --> 00:19:48,200
Speaker 6: And when you're six four six' five and you run

467
00:19:48,240 --> 00:19:50,239
Speaker 6: well like it wouldn't surprise me if he get if

468
00:19:50,240 --> 00:19:53,439
Speaker 6: he's under four to, four people will get. Excited the

469
00:19:53,520 --> 00:19:56,640
Speaker 6: concern with him will be he's From tennessee's, offense which

470
00:19:56,680 --> 00:20:00,400
Speaker 6: doesn't really showcase the opportunity to run routes the way

471
00:20:00,640 --> 00:20:02,560
Speaker 6: you need to in THE. Nfl it's not the verse

472
00:20:02,640 --> 00:20:04,400
Speaker 6: rout tree at. All, no, no, No.

473
00:20:04,680 --> 00:20:07,240
Speaker 4: So you know he'll be if, he let's say he

474
00:20:07,320 --> 00:20:09,240
Speaker 4: runs a four to three. Eight you know you know

475
00:20:09,280 --> 00:20:09,520
Speaker 4: how that.

476
00:20:09,560 --> 00:20:11,440
Speaker 6: Works when you're six four sixty five and you run

477
00:20:11,440 --> 00:20:14,359
Speaker 6: a four to three, eight people get, excited right you,

478
00:20:14,359 --> 00:20:16,360
Speaker 6: Know i'm trying to think of other GUYS i watched that.

479
00:20:17,400 --> 00:20:20,240
Speaker 5: Quick receiver question for. You along these, lines it really

480
00:20:20,280 --> 00:20:22,879
Speaker 5: seems like the league is getting away from The welkers

481
00:20:22,920 --> 00:20:25,240
Speaker 5: And edelman's and the real undersized.

482
00:20:25,240 --> 00:20:28,840
Speaker 6: Slots, yeah they want bigger people near the. Ball, yeah

483
00:20:28,880 --> 00:20:31,080
Speaker 6: it's an interesting, point you. Know don't forget too there's

484
00:20:31,119 --> 00:20:34,199
Speaker 6: a lot more presnat movement. Now, yeah so the delineation between,

485
00:20:34,280 --> 00:20:37,280
Speaker 6: plot slot and outside is a little, different you, know

486
00:20:37,480 --> 00:20:40,439
Speaker 6: because a lot of, here LIKE i Think lemon's a great. Example,

487
00:20:40,520 --> 00:20:43,520
Speaker 6: Yeah lemon twelve fifteen years ago would be considered a slot. Receiver,

488
00:20:43,880 --> 00:20:45,720
Speaker 6: now you, know if he goes to a team And

489
00:20:45,760 --> 00:20:47,760
Speaker 6: i'm NOT i have no idea where guys, go So

490
00:20:47,800 --> 00:20:49,240
Speaker 6: i'm not, saying but if he went to a team

491
00:20:49,280 --> 00:20:52,040
Speaker 6: like The, rams who moved people all, around he could

492
00:20:52,040 --> 00:20:55,080
Speaker 6: line up, outside but he'd be so reduced he'd essentially

493
00:20:55,119 --> 00:20:57,720
Speaker 6: be it's like running the. Slot he'd be so close

494
00:20:57,760 --> 00:20:59,639
Speaker 6: to the, ball you, know because that's what those teams.

495
00:20:59,680 --> 00:21:00,359
Speaker 4: Do you.

496
00:21:00,359 --> 00:21:03,680
Speaker 6: Know so you, KNOW i think that delineation unless you're really,

497
00:21:03,720 --> 00:21:06,160
Speaker 6: small like the kid FROM Lsu, anderson WHO i really,

498
00:21:06,240 --> 00:21:08,880
Speaker 6: like by the, way but now he's really. Small, yeah

499
00:21:08,920 --> 00:21:11,720
Speaker 6: so you know he's probably not going to be an outside.

500
00:21:11,760 --> 00:21:14,600
Speaker 6: Guy but that doesn't Look, HEY i remember watching the

501
00:21:14,680 --> 00:21:16,560
Speaker 6: rams they line you, know and he didn't play a

502
00:21:16,560 --> 00:21:18,400
Speaker 6: lot of, snaps but they were times to to ad

503
00:21:18,400 --> 00:21:20,080
Speaker 6: well lined up quote unquot an outside.

504
00:21:20,119 --> 00:21:23,440
Speaker 4: Receiver you. Know that's so that delineation has sort of gone.

505
00:21:23,440 --> 00:21:25,359
Speaker 5: Away, yeah, yeah you're. Right it's kind of like you

506
00:21:25,400 --> 00:21:28,640
Speaker 5: know what a slot corner is right right at The hilton's,

507
00:21:28,640 --> 00:21:29,199
Speaker 5: anymore right?

508
00:21:29,640 --> 00:21:29,800
Speaker 4: There.

509
00:21:30,640 --> 00:21:35,120
Speaker 6: MS i Mean Evan warry was basically A sam, linebacker yeah, right, yeah, Yeah.

510
00:21:35,160 --> 00:21:37,679
Speaker 3: AND i and it always fascinates me to the trends

511
00:21:37,720 --> 00:21:39,600
Speaker 3: in the, league which you've, seen, right and you're covering

512
00:21:39,640 --> 00:21:42,000
Speaker 3: for forty six. Years the minute you, think well we

513
00:21:42,080 --> 00:21:44,399
Speaker 3: got to get big, receivers somebody gets big. Corners then

514
00:21:44,440 --> 00:21:46,119
Speaker 3: somebody comes up with the idea, of well maybe if

515
00:21:46,160 --> 00:21:47,320
Speaker 3: we get quicker, guys it could.

516
00:21:47,160 --> 00:21:49,480
Speaker 4: Be right, right and then and then then the trend

517
00:21:49,520 --> 00:21:50,560
Speaker 4: starts all over, again you know.

518
00:21:50,680 --> 00:21:54,080
Speaker 6: It, ever you, know everything becomes. CYCLICAL i, mean the

519
00:21:54,200 --> 00:21:56,480
Speaker 6: last couple of years we've really seen in some ways

520
00:21:56,520 --> 00:21:58,880
Speaker 6: the run game become you, know more in. Vogue teams

521
00:21:58,920 --> 00:22:02,560
Speaker 6: are playing more with multiple tight ends with SIX o, linemen.

522
00:22:02,320 --> 00:22:04,280
Speaker 4: Right you, know so does that mean?

523
00:22:04,359 --> 00:22:07,760
Speaker 3: Me it was three years ago you shot if you

524
00:22:07,840 --> 00:22:10,200
Speaker 3: picked the running back in the first, round AS i, Mean.

525
00:22:10,119 --> 00:22:12,320
Speaker 6: Jeremiah love is a great. PROSPECT i, mean, like to,

526
00:22:12,440 --> 00:22:14,680
Speaker 6: me he's a far better prospect Than Ashton. GENTY i

527
00:22:14,680 --> 00:22:17,760
Speaker 6: don't even think there's a. COMPARISON i didn't Think genty

528
00:22:17,920 --> 00:22:19,879
Speaker 6: anyway when people said always the best running back in

529
00:22:19,920 --> 00:22:21,320
Speaker 6: the last ten, YEARS i didn't buy that for a.

530
00:22:21,359 --> 00:22:24,399
Speaker 6: Second he's no B John. ROBINSON B John robinson is

531
00:22:24,520 --> 00:22:28,200
Speaker 6: truly a special. Player love is closer to that to

532
00:22:28,320 --> 00:22:32,440
Speaker 6: me than you, know Than genti ever. Was but, YEAH i,

533
00:22:32,520 --> 00:22:35,800
Speaker 6: mean you know you're seeing teams. Now, now does does

534
00:22:35,840 --> 00:22:37,800
Speaker 6: that mean that colleges you're going to have to start?

535
00:22:37,840 --> 00:22:40,680
Speaker 6: Getting you, know linebackers who can stack in. Shed there's

536
00:22:40,720 --> 00:22:42,320
Speaker 6: not a you, know in, college you don't see a

537
00:22:42,359 --> 00:22:44,159
Speaker 6: lot of stacking shed line. Bag there's very few of

538
00:22:44,200 --> 00:22:46,800
Speaker 6: those guys because that's not the way the college games, played,

539
00:22:47,440 --> 00:22:50,440
Speaker 6: right you. Know so that's what college is giving THE,

540
00:22:50,600 --> 00:22:53,600
Speaker 6: nfl you, know to the point where some linebackers like

541
00:22:53,640 --> 00:22:55,880
Speaker 6: the kid you're probably very familiar with. It Pitt Kyle

542
00:22:56,000 --> 00:22:58,479
Speaker 6: lewis is probably going to be a. Safety and when

543
00:22:58,520 --> 00:23:00,640
Speaker 6: you put on the, tape he looked he doesn't look

544
00:23:00,720 --> 00:23:03,000
Speaker 6: like a linebacker with his body type in his move

545
00:23:03,040 --> 00:23:03,639
Speaker 6: and he looks like a.

546
00:23:03,680 --> 00:23:04,000
Speaker 4: Safety.

547
00:23:04,119 --> 00:23:06,200
Speaker 5: YEAH i think he's two hundred twelve pounds at the. Season, yeah,

548
00:23:06,240 --> 00:23:07,120
Speaker 5: YES i mean he's.

549
00:23:07,320 --> 00:23:08,920
Speaker 4: He's not going to play stacked backer in THE.

550
00:23:09,040 --> 00:23:11,080
Speaker 5: Nfl people are going to try to make him Into Emin.

551
00:23:11,119 --> 00:23:12,800
Speaker 6: Ware WELL i was going to, say, yeah then you

552
00:23:12,920 --> 00:23:14,679
Speaker 6: got you, know another guy like that is the kid FROM,

553
00:23:14,800 --> 00:23:18,480
Speaker 6: Lsu Harold, perkins who's probably two twenty at, most and

554
00:23:18,840 --> 00:23:21,320
Speaker 6: you know the WAY lsu used him rarely was he

555
00:23:21,400 --> 00:23:24,240
Speaker 6: a stacked. Linebacker even though he's listed as a, linebacker

556
00:23:24,480 --> 00:23:27,080
Speaker 6: he more often than not was like an overhang player

557
00:23:27,400 --> 00:23:29,760
Speaker 6: or out in the. SLOT i, mean if teams want

558
00:23:29,800 --> 00:23:31,960
Speaker 6: to keep playing big, nickel which has become a trend

559
00:23:32,000 --> 00:23:33,919
Speaker 6: in the league as, well you, know then you get

560
00:23:34,000 --> 00:23:36,200
Speaker 6: these guys that are two eighteen to two twenty that

561
00:23:36,440 --> 00:23:40,119
Speaker 6: probably are not truly stacked backers but can play like,

562
00:23:40,240 --> 00:23:42,000
Speaker 6: that you, know like An Emin warr or A Derwin

563
00:23:42,119 --> 00:23:43,160
Speaker 6: james or A Kyle.

564
00:23:43,240 --> 00:23:45,240
Speaker 4: Hamilton, well like what you mentioned the college.

565
00:23:45,280 --> 00:23:47,160
Speaker 3: Game Mike toman had a common a couple of years

566
00:23:47,200 --> 00:23:50,119
Speaker 3: ago at the owners meetings about how more corners ARE

567
00:23:50,280 --> 00:23:52,200
Speaker 3: nfl ready than they used to be used to draft

568
00:23:52,280 --> 00:23:54,680
Speaker 3: the corner and develop them a couple of. Years he

569
00:23:54,720 --> 00:23:56,480
Speaker 3: didn't want to throw him out there right away unless

570
00:23:56,520 --> 00:23:59,200
Speaker 3: he was absolutely. Special but he, said, hey, listen there's

571
00:23:59,440 --> 00:24:03,000
Speaker 3: kids are seven on seven camps all year. Long, yeah

572
00:24:03,040 --> 00:24:04,800
Speaker 3: and then they go to college and there's a lot

573
00:24:04,840 --> 00:24:07,080
Speaker 3: of spread and throwing it. Around so these corners come

574
00:24:07,119 --> 00:24:09,480
Speaker 3: in and they're more. Ready you're more ready, there but

575
00:24:09,520 --> 00:24:11,440
Speaker 3: you're less. Ready it's right off the.

576
00:24:11,520 --> 00:24:12,160
Speaker 4: Ball that's.

577
00:24:12,160 --> 00:24:14,119
Speaker 6: Whatever corners just get more and more. REPS i, mean

578
00:24:14,160 --> 00:24:16,159
Speaker 6: a lot of college teams number, one they go no,

579
00:24:16,320 --> 00:24:19,119
Speaker 6: huddle and then a lot of these quarterbacks in college

580
00:24:19,160 --> 00:24:21,359
Speaker 6: they throw forty five to fifty balls a. Game the

581
00:24:21,600 --> 00:24:24,159
Speaker 6: corners are playing. Corner you, know they're getting a lot

582
00:24:24,200 --> 00:24:27,240
Speaker 6: of reps at the corner. Position, yeah, great last, THING

583
00:24:27,280 --> 00:24:28,360
Speaker 6: i have. Four i'm sure you gotta get.

584
00:24:28,359 --> 00:24:30,320
Speaker 4: Going but he's gonna be here for the next five.

585
00:24:30,359 --> 00:24:32,800
Speaker 5: Hours would you expect more big nickel from The? Steelers?

586
00:24:32,840 --> 00:24:36,080
Speaker 5: Now who would be their big nickel guy at this? Point,

587
00:24:36,160 --> 00:24:37,679
Speaker 5: now that's the thing, IS i don't know that they

588
00:24:37,800 --> 00:24:41,359
Speaker 5: have The ramsey could. BE i think that's why they

589
00:24:41,440 --> 00:24:44,240
Speaker 5: originally traded for. Him there's a bigger presence At nickel

590
00:24:44,320 --> 00:24:46,320
Speaker 5: and as a. BLITZER i don't know if they look

591
00:24:46,320 --> 00:24:48,199
Speaker 5: at him as a free safety or a. NICKEL i, mean,

592
00:24:48,240 --> 00:24:51,480
Speaker 5: obviously as the year, progressed he became a pure. Safety, yeah,

593
00:24:51,560 --> 00:24:53,479
Speaker 5: yeah you, Know and and SO i don't know how

594
00:24:53,520 --> 00:24:56,480
Speaker 5: he feels about, That BUT i just wonder If graham

595
00:24:56,520 --> 00:24:58,239
Speaker 5: would lean that way or. Not it's hard to tell

596
00:24:58,280 --> 00:25:00,800
Speaker 5: with The raiders because they're such a carrow. Influence, yeah,

597
00:25:00,840 --> 00:25:02,480
Speaker 5: yeah don't.

598
00:25:02,520 --> 00:25:04,800
Speaker 6: KNOW i, mean And, ramsey you, know at this, point

599
00:25:04,840 --> 00:25:06,560
Speaker 6: because he's a, SAFETY i guess you'd call it big.

600
00:25:06,640 --> 00:25:09,359
Speaker 6: Nickel but obviously with The rams you, know the position

601
00:25:09,440 --> 00:25:12,480
Speaker 6: they called it with Star as you. Know, YEAH i,

602
00:25:12,560 --> 00:25:16,719
Speaker 6: mean that's a great. Question right, now if they were

603
00:25:16,760 --> 00:25:18,600
Speaker 6: to line up, today who play corner.

604
00:25:18,400 --> 00:25:21,840
Speaker 5: Opposite, porter they probably have to Sign pierre. Again right,

605
00:25:21,920 --> 00:25:24,840
Speaker 5: now they don't have a number two Or samuel or

606
00:25:24,960 --> 00:25:27,760
Speaker 5: somebody not on the. Team they don't have a second,

607
00:25:27,840 --> 00:25:30,240
Speaker 5: corner Right But, PIERRE i think is in the mix

608
00:25:30,400 --> 00:25:30,719
Speaker 5: in a good.

609
00:25:30,800 --> 00:25:32,600
Speaker 4: Year. Yeah you, know it's.

610
00:25:32,640 --> 00:25:35,520
Speaker 6: Funny he's he keeps sticking, Around yeah he. Does he

611
00:25:35,640 --> 00:25:38,639
Speaker 6: can't a good special team and he's, long he's you,

612
00:25:38,680 --> 00:25:41,879
Speaker 6: know he's. Athletic you, know guys like that BECAUSE i

613
00:25:41,920 --> 00:25:44,920
Speaker 6: don't study him, individually, obviously BUT i always, wonder, like

614
00:25:45,000 --> 00:25:49,040
Speaker 6: what is he missing? That given his, length his movements pretty,

615
00:25:49,080 --> 00:25:52,040
Speaker 6: good why can't he be a quality starting? Corner and

616
00:25:52,200 --> 00:25:52,680
Speaker 6: last year.

617
00:25:52,680 --> 00:25:54,600
Speaker 3: The first time he showed it good was towards the

618
00:25:54,640 --> 00:25:56,719
Speaker 3: end of this, year which which puts you an interesting, Dilemma,

619
00:25:56,800 --> 00:25:57,960

00:25:58,040 --> 00:25:59,560
Speaker 4: Out did he just haven't stretch a good? Game?

Speaker 5: was it get to know the team that he's, inheriting

Speaker 5: a new coaching. Staff how do they jump into the

702
00:29:47,000 --> 00:29:49,720
Speaker 5: the what's the order of operations in terms of roster

703
00:29:49,800 --> 00:29:50,360

706
00:29:54,000 --> 00:29:56,160
Speaker 8: as you talk about the, roster and he was well.

707
00:29:56,240 --> 00:29:58,960
Speaker 8: Prepared he, Prepared he knows the roster really. Well so

708
00:29:59,040 --> 00:30:01,440
Speaker 8: that part of it was pretty much. Done and, obviously

709
00:30:01,480 --> 00:30:04,160
Speaker 8: you know we had insight that he. Didn't, uh and

710
00:30:04,200 --> 00:30:05,800
Speaker 8: when he got this, job you, know we just kind

711
00:30:05,840 --> 00:30:09,920
Speaker 8: of compared notes Had we've had some really great solid. Conversations.

712
00:30:10,040 --> 00:30:12,080
Speaker 8: Uh you, know we we share the same vision and you,

713
00:30:12,160 --> 00:30:13,960
Speaker 8: know we're trying to win A Super bowl and you,

714
00:30:14,040 --> 00:30:14,600
Speaker 8: know how do we get.

715
00:30:14,640 --> 00:30:15,520
Speaker 4: There that's what we're working.

716
00:30:15,600 --> 00:30:15,760
Speaker 5: Through.

717
00:30:16,000 --> 00:30:17,920
Speaker 8: Uh and then you, know getting ready for the. Draft

718
00:30:18,000 --> 00:30:19,800
Speaker 8: and AS i, mentioned the staff has has been.

719
00:30:19,880 --> 00:30:22,360
Speaker 5: NonStop i would think that it's really helpful to have

720
00:30:22,480 --> 00:30:26,280
Speaker 5: a carryover assistant on each side of the ball because

721
00:30:26,320 --> 00:30:29,040
Speaker 5: they could, say if they're watching tape of The ravens, game,

722
00:30:29,120 --> 00:30:31,040
Speaker 5: well this is what our thoughts were with how we

723
00:30:31,160 --> 00:30:33,280
Speaker 5: utilized our personnel in that. Game you. Know bringing back

724
00:30:33,680 --> 00:30:36,400
Speaker 5: mccurly And, ARTH i would think is a nice bridge

725
00:30:36,440 --> 00:30:38,800
Speaker 5: from last year's tape to this year's. Stuff.

726
00:30:38,840 --> 00:30:40,640
Speaker 4: Yeah, absolutely it's great to have those guys.

727
00:30:40,720 --> 00:30:40,840
Speaker 5: Back.

728
00:30:40,920 --> 00:30:43,120
Speaker 8: Around you, know hopefully that those guys can ask us

729
00:30:43,120 --> 00:30:45,160
Speaker 8: some questions too and give him some insight when they

730
00:30:45,320 --> 00:30:46,000
Speaker 8: when they're ready for.

731
00:30:46,160 --> 00:30:46,200
Speaker 7: It.

732
00:30:47,240 --> 00:30:49,520
Speaker 4: Uh so you know this is, uh it's been.

733
00:30:49,600 --> 00:30:50,400
Speaker 5: Good you.

734
00:30:50,480 --> 00:30:53,240
Speaker 3: Know when you look at a new coaching staff and

735
00:30:53,240 --> 00:30:55,520
Speaker 3: it's been a while obviously since we've seen. One you,

736
00:30:55,600 --> 00:30:58,200
Speaker 3: know sometimes a guy will come in and, say, WELL

737
00:30:58,320 --> 00:30:59,560
Speaker 3: i don't want to run a three, FOUR i want

738
00:30:59,560 --> 00:31:00,640
Speaker 3: to run a four or. Three and now all of a,

739
00:31:00,680 --> 00:31:03,080
Speaker 3: sudden you've got a bunch of you, know round pegs

740
00:31:03,120 --> 00:31:05,520
Speaker 3: and you're trying to jam into a square. Hole mike

741
00:31:05,600 --> 00:31:07,280
Speaker 3: talked about at his press conference one of the things

742
00:31:07,280 --> 00:31:09,520
Speaker 3: that really caught my, attention and Then Patrick graham since

743
00:31:09,520 --> 00:31:12,160
Speaker 3: then as, well adapting to the players you have on.

744
00:31:12,320 --> 00:31:16,440
Speaker 4: Hand with that being, said does this whole.

745
00:31:16,280 --> 00:31:19,200
Speaker 3: Evaluation of getting ready for the draft and what you've

746
00:31:19,240 --> 00:31:23,080
Speaker 3: scouted leading up To mike McCarthy being hired change it

747
00:31:23,120 --> 00:31:26,320
Speaker 3: all because maybe he wants a little bit different person

748
00:31:26,680 --> 00:31:28,720
Speaker 3: personnel or is it is it pretty much the?

749
00:31:28,840 --> 00:31:33,080
Speaker 8: Same you, know there's obviously gonna be a little discrepancy

750
00:31:33,160 --> 00:31:35,240
Speaker 8: to what it was in the. Past there's some, changes you,

751
00:31:35,280 --> 00:31:38,080
Speaker 8: know he we begin to know, Him LIKE i, mentioned and,

752
00:31:38,280 --> 00:31:43,680
Speaker 8: uh trying to understand maybe positionally certain players that he

753
00:31:43,880 --> 00:31:46,200
Speaker 8: he've used differently than than when than we, do and

754
00:31:46,400 --> 00:31:49,640
Speaker 8: characteristics and traits that he wants and, uh, uh.

755
00:31:49,640 --> 00:31:50,440
Speaker 4: You, know we're learning his.

756
00:31:50,520 --> 00:31:53,960
Speaker 8: Scheme, uh but for the most, part you, know it's you,

757
00:31:54,040 --> 00:31:55,960
Speaker 8: know we're a three we're built for a three. Four

758
00:31:56,000 --> 00:31:59,600
Speaker 8: we're gonna stay at three, four you, Know, offensively you,

759
00:31:59,680 --> 00:32:02,360
Speaker 8: know there's some things he's gonna do. Differently he's an offensive,

760
00:32:02,400 --> 00:32:04,520
Speaker 8: coach and you know we're gonna adjust to some of.

761
00:32:04,600 --> 00:32:06,080
Speaker 4: That but, uh you, know we have twelve.

762
00:32:06,120 --> 00:32:08,920
Speaker 8: Picks you, know we're in good cap, Shape so we

763
00:32:09,200 --> 00:32:13,120
Speaker 8: were in a position where you, know there's opportunities we'll

764
00:32:13,120 --> 00:32:14,240
Speaker 8: be able to take advantage of.

765
00:32:14,360 --> 00:32:16,640
Speaker 5: Him is it safe to say that we'll probably see

766
00:32:16,680 --> 00:32:19,080
Speaker 5: more wide receivers on the field and fewer tight, ends,

767
00:32:19,120 --> 00:32:20,920
Speaker 5: THOUGH i mean that seems like one scheme. Change it

768
00:32:21,000 --> 00:32:21,600
Speaker 5: seems pretty.

769
00:32:21,640 --> 00:32:25,320
Speaker 4: Clear it's it's early in that, process you, know ask

770
00:32:25,440 --> 00:32:25,960
Speaker 4: me that. Question.

771
00:32:26,720 --> 00:32:29,120
Speaker 3: Training you, know one of the things THAT i think

772
00:32:29,200 --> 00:32:32,560

Speaker 4: That the those.

792
00:33:22,640 --> 00:33:25,880

Speaker 5: with the coaching, staff but FROM i, understand there's very

794
00:33:28,120 --> 00:33:32,160
Speaker 5: little changes with the scouting department or you, know the

795
00:33:32,240 --> 00:33:34,320
Speaker 5: grading system or any of those. Things that's all gonna

796

Speaker 5: stay pretty.

797
00:33:34,800 --> 00:33:37,400
Speaker 8: Much, yeah that that's gonna. Stay we like the system

798
00:33:37,560 --> 00:33:39,440
Speaker 8: that we. Have you, KNOW I i have some awesome

799
00:33:39,480 --> 00:33:42,040
Speaker 8: people that uh that that uh THAT i work with

800
00:33:42,200 --> 00:33:45,000
Speaker 8: in that. Area you, know Obviously Andy, whitel we Had Dan,

801
00:33:45,120 --> 00:33:49,560
Speaker 8: Colbert Mark, sadowski Added Tim gribble this. Year Sheldon white,

802
00:33:49,640 --> 00:33:51,440
Speaker 8: like we we got a good nucleus of. People we

803
00:33:51,600 --> 00:33:53,960
Speaker 8: like the system that we run in and, frankly it's

804
00:33:54,000 --> 00:33:57,200
Speaker 8: worked and you, know and you, know coach t liked

805
00:33:57,200 --> 00:33:58,840
Speaker 8: it and And mike's really liked it so.

806
00:33:58,960 --> 00:34:02,160
Speaker 4: Far so, UH i don't foresee as many changes, there you.

807
00:34:02,240 --> 00:34:05,040
Speaker 3: Know, Uh WHEN i look at your, ROSTER i see

808
00:34:05,080 --> 00:34:07,240
Speaker 3: fewer and fewer holes every, year which is a testament

809
00:34:07,320 --> 00:34:09,040
Speaker 3: to you and your staff and the team you've put.

810
00:34:09,080 --> 00:34:14,200
Speaker 3: Together will you what you do as far as re

811
00:34:14,400 --> 00:34:18,839
Speaker 3: signing some of your own players or how you evaluate free?

812
00:34:18,880 --> 00:34:20,759
Speaker 4: Agency is that affect at all about the?

813
00:34:20,880 --> 00:34:23,160
Speaker 3: Draft because the draft comes, last, right even though this

814
00:34:23,360 --> 00:34:26,000
Speaker 3: is the first thing that's got everybody's, attention it's the

815
00:34:26,160 --> 00:34:29,200
Speaker 3: last thing as far as the roster. Building will you

816
00:34:29,400 --> 00:34:33,000
Speaker 3: maybe shy away from a player thinking, well we might

817
00:34:33,040 --> 00:34:34,320
Speaker 3: be able to get a guy Liked this is a

818
00:34:34,480 --> 00:34:37,960
Speaker 3: deep draft in in you, know at such and such a,

819
00:34:38,000 --> 00:34:40,080
Speaker 3: position so maybe we don't need to pursue that in

820
00:34:40,160 --> 00:34:42,520
Speaker 3: free agency or is that just a really small part

821
00:34:42,600 --> 00:34:44,080
Speaker 3: of what you're doing as you.

822
00:34:44,160 --> 00:34:46,279
Speaker 4: Evaluate, yes certainly we.

823
00:34:46,320 --> 00:34:48,200
Speaker 8: All say, that and you, know it all sounds, good

824
00:34:48,280 --> 00:34:50,440
Speaker 8: but the reality is we're all just trying to make

825
00:34:50,600 --> 00:34:54,000
Speaker 8: educated guests and we're still going to be there whenever we, pick.

826
00:34:55,560 --> 00:34:55,600
Speaker 1: You.

827
00:34:55,680 --> 00:34:58,440
Speaker 8: Know but but the thing is is the spring is

828
00:34:58,520 --> 00:35:02,440
Speaker 8: so important in this p process because you, know right

829
00:35:02,480 --> 00:35:04,960
Speaker 8: Now i'm sitting here And i'm, like, man there's some good,

830
00:35:05,040 --> 00:35:07,600
Speaker 8: receivers some good, quarterbacks some good running, backs some good line,

831
00:35:07,680 --> 00:35:09,040
Speaker 8: like we feel. Good and then as you get through the,

832
00:35:09,080 --> 00:35:11,000
Speaker 8: spring you, know things kind of shake. Loose you, know

833
00:35:11,320 --> 00:35:13,560
Speaker 8: you might have some medical stuff come, up you might

834
00:35:13,640 --> 00:35:16,279
Speaker 8: have some off the field. Stuff just think sort of

835
00:35:16,840 --> 00:35:20,040
Speaker 8: sort of a sort itself. Out but you, know it's

836
00:35:20,120 --> 00:35:22,200
Speaker 8: it's it's it's at the, end so you have to approach.

837
00:35:22,280 --> 00:35:24,760
Speaker 8: It and you, know if there's opportunities in free agency

838
00:35:24,880 --> 00:35:27,840
Speaker 8: or in the trademarket to to fill a position and,

839

Speaker 3: to prognosticators and what The steelers are going to be

906
00:38:09,480 --> 00:38:12,680
Speaker 3: able to. Do AND i was mystified that people didn't

907
00:38:12,680 --> 00:38:14,120
Speaker 3: think The seelers were going to be that good this.

908
00:38:14,239 --> 00:38:16,879
Speaker 3: Year and obviously you won THE Afc. North you look

909
00:38:16,920 --> 00:38:19,080

910
00:38:19,120 --> 00:38:21,400
Speaker 3: a lot of cap, Space you've positioned it so that

911
00:38:21,440 --> 00:38:25,120
Speaker 3: you have twelve draft picks coming, Up you've got a

912
00:38:25,160 --> 00:38:27,640
Speaker 3: lot of your own players that you can re. Sign

913
00:38:28,400 --> 00:38:31,920
Speaker 3: do you feel good about the positioning of where this

914
00:38:32,000 --> 00:38:32,560
Speaker 3: team is right?

915
00:38:32,600 --> 00:38:34,880
Speaker 4: Now you, KNOW i like the nucleus of some of

916
00:38:34,920 --> 00:38:35,840
Speaker 4: the young talent that we.

917
00:38:35,960 --> 00:38:37,719
Speaker 8: Have we have guys getting ready to go into the

918
00:38:37,800 --> 00:38:40,960
Speaker 8: second second, contracts guys that are going to Be steelers

919
00:38:41,000 --> 00:38:41,399
Speaker 8: for a long.

920
00:38:41,520 --> 00:38:45,160
Speaker 4: Time but you, Know, rob the reality, is we don't

921
00:38:45,160 --> 00:38:46,719
Speaker 4: want to playoff game. Lines you, know we got to be.

922
00:38:46,840 --> 00:38:49,600
Speaker 8: Better, so you, know like we do every, year we're

923
00:38:49,600 --> 00:38:53,520
Speaker 8: evaluating everything in the organization and doing whatever we have

924
00:38:53,640 --> 00:38:55,680
Speaker 8: to do to get better because ultimately our goals to

925
00:38:55,719 --> 00:38:57,239
Speaker 8: win a Super bowl and we're not there.

926
00:38:57,320 --> 00:39:00,879
Speaker 5: Yet so we hear this a. Lot but it looks

927
00:39:00,920 --> 00:39:04,719
