Speaker 2: And welcome back to the Drive. I'm Dale LOLLI he

5
00:00:18,880 --> 00:00:22,360
Speaker 2: is the Matt Williamson. I am here at Hancock Whitney

6
00:00:22,400 --> 00:00:26,200
Speaker 2: Stadium in beautiful Mobile, Alabama. If you haven't visited Mobile.

7
00:00:26,760 --> 00:00:29,680
Speaker 2: I took a walk around the town a little bit

8
00:00:29,800 --> 00:00:33,800
Speaker 2: last night. I got a lot of historic buildings down here,

9
00:00:34,120 --> 00:00:38,519
Speaker 2: like it's just really yeah, interesting little town. I was

10
00:00:38,720 --> 00:00:41,520
Speaker 2: reading the one plaque near my hotel. I was talking

11
00:00:41,520 --> 00:00:46,159
Speaker 2: about how the Spanish first came here in like the

12
00:00:46,200 --> 00:00:50,440
Speaker 2: fifteen hundreds landed landed boats here in the in Mobile.

13
00:00:50,080 --> 00:00:52,440
Speaker 3: Bay or whatever you call that area there in the

14
00:00:52,560 --> 00:00:55,040
Speaker 3: estuary that Mobile sits on.

15
00:00:55,200 --> 00:00:57,880
Speaker 2: So people have been coming here, and obviously the Native

16
00:00:57,880 --> 00:00:59,760
Speaker 2: Americans were here long before that.

17
00:00:59,840 --> 00:01:02,360
Speaker 3: But interesting little time.

18
00:01:02,360 --> 00:01:04,760
Speaker 2: I always I always liked those kind of things, the

19
00:01:04,880 --> 00:01:07,800
Speaker 2: history part of who you'd like to think that's five

20
00:01:07,880 --> 00:01:10,120
Speaker 2: hundred years ago, like that's that's a long time.

21
00:01:11,080 --> 00:01:11,240
Speaker 3: You know.

22
00:01:11,319 --> 00:01:13,360
Speaker 2: It's kind of one of the cool things about Europe

23
00:01:13,400 --> 00:01:16,200
Speaker 2: and things of that nature. You know, one of like

24
00:01:17,200 --> 00:01:20,200
Speaker 2: go to the Tower of London, and they, you know,

25
00:01:20,240 --> 00:01:22,600
Speaker 2: built the walls on that on top of the Roman

26
00:01:22,680 --> 00:01:24,920
Speaker 2: walls that were there before. Then, Like those walls have

27
00:01:24,920 --> 00:01:29,720
Speaker 2: been there for two thousand years. That's some good engineering there.

28
00:01:29,720 --> 00:01:32,160
Speaker 2: We can't build a sidewalk that last five years, but

29
00:01:32,440 --> 00:01:36,080
Speaker 2: they were building walls that lasted two thousand years.

30
00:01:36,760 --> 00:01:39,200
Speaker 4: It'd be nice if what Route nineteen right by my

31
00:01:39,240 --> 00:01:42,959
Speaker 4: house here over five seconds, but.

32
00:01:42,920 --> 00:01:44,360
Speaker 5: Alone two thousand years.

33
00:01:44,959 --> 00:01:46,520
Speaker 4: I haven't been to Mobile in a while, but I

34
00:01:46,560 --> 00:01:51,120
Speaker 4: do remember really cool historic old buildings and homes, and

35
00:01:52,160 --> 00:01:55,040
Speaker 4: always bring up Marty Grass because they will fight.

36
00:01:55,000 --> 00:01:56,400
Speaker 3: The original one to the very end.

37
00:01:56,560 --> 00:01:58,280
Speaker 5: This is where, this is where it started. This is

38
00:01:58,560 --> 00:01:59,280
Speaker 5: the real one, right.

39
00:01:59,360 --> 00:02:02,000
Speaker 2: Yeah, it's a big deal down here, like it's it's huge,

40
00:02:02,000 --> 00:02:04,360
Speaker 2: big deal. Yeah, it is huge.

41
00:02:05,840 --> 00:02:06,040
Speaker 3: Man.

42
00:02:06,040 --> 00:02:08,960
Speaker 2: I'm looking here on ESPN and Ben Soulik putting a

43
00:02:09,000 --> 00:02:15,680
Speaker 2: piece together how the quarterback market dominoes could fall depending

44
00:02:15,720 --> 00:02:21,400
Speaker 2: on what happens with Sam Donald, and so it's you know,

45
00:02:21,720 --> 00:02:25,160
Speaker 2: he said that there's goes through some different scenarios here

46
00:02:25,200 --> 00:02:29,760
Speaker 2: where different teams get Donald. So Donald's potential suitors, according

47
00:02:29,800 --> 00:02:32,680
Speaker 2: to him, are the Raiders, and they have seventy three

48
00:02:32,680 --> 00:02:35,880
Speaker 2: point two million dollars in cap space list the Steelers

49
00:02:35,919 --> 00:02:38,440
Speaker 2: as a potential team where Donald could end up at it.

50
00:02:38,480 --> 00:02:40,200
Speaker 2: I don't believe that's going to be the case, but

51
00:02:41,080 --> 00:02:43,960
Speaker 2: the Giants would make sense.

52
00:02:43,919 --> 00:02:47,200
Speaker 5: Makes some sense back to New York.

53
00:02:47,600 --> 00:02:51,520
Speaker 2: But yeah, yeah, yeah, going back to the Vikings would

54
00:02:51,560 --> 00:02:52,440
Speaker 2: be another one.

55
00:02:53,160 --> 00:03:00,120
Speaker 3: Uh and then so to me, just looking at.

56
00:03:00,400 --> 00:03:02,040
Speaker 5: I would put the Titans in there too.

57
00:03:03,560 --> 00:03:06,960
Speaker 3: I think they I think they might.

58
00:03:06,800 --> 00:03:09,600
Speaker 5: Have sold they're going to go quarterback and one.

59
00:03:10,919 --> 00:03:13,440
Speaker 2: They could go quarterback in the second round though again

60
00:03:13,880 --> 00:03:16,960
Speaker 2: like and just good like are they ready to win

61
00:03:17,160 --> 00:03:17,720
Speaker 2: next year?

62
00:03:18,280 --> 00:03:19,000
Speaker 3: I don't know that.

63
00:03:19,080 --> 00:03:21,760
Speaker 2: I mean, they really didn't perform well in the second

64
00:03:21,800 --> 00:03:22,480
Speaker 2: half of the season.

65
00:03:23,120 --> 00:03:23,320
Speaker 3: You know.

66
00:03:23,360 --> 00:03:26,720
Speaker 2: The key is, do we really even know what the

67
00:03:26,760 --> 00:03:29,079
Speaker 2: new coaching staff down there? Once in a quarterback? Well,

68
00:03:29,080 --> 00:03:32,160
Speaker 2: they worked with Joe Burrow in Cincinnati. They're not going

69
00:03:32,200 --> 00:03:37,080
Speaker 2: to get that. And no, yeah, Darnold isn't anything isn't

70
00:03:37,080 --> 00:03:41,680
Speaker 2: close to Burrow. So I don't know exactly what kind

71
00:03:41,720 --> 00:03:46,560
Speaker 2: of quarterback that they want necessarily in Tennessee.

72
00:03:47,240 --> 00:03:48,880
Speaker 4: No, I don't know one hundred percent know either, but

73
00:03:48,920 --> 00:03:51,200
Speaker 4: they do they even though they spend a lot last year,

74
00:03:51,240 --> 00:03:53,360
Speaker 4: they do have cap space. They could make a lot

75
00:03:53,440 --> 00:03:59,640
Speaker 4: more if you're in love with Carter or Hunter, maybe

76
00:03:59,640 --> 00:04:02,560
Speaker 4: you go the Donald route, but I think the Raiders

77
00:04:02,560 --> 00:04:05,640
Speaker 4: are certainly in the mix. The Raiders make a lot

78
00:04:05,640 --> 00:04:06,240
Speaker 4: of sense to me.

79
00:04:06,600 --> 00:04:08,480
Speaker 2: Yeah, the Raiders would also make a lot of sense

80
00:04:08,480 --> 00:04:12,520
Speaker 2: for Russell Wilson, as we talked about yesterday, you know,

81
00:04:12,640 --> 00:04:15,120
Speaker 2: just because of the Pete Carroll situation now being the

82
00:04:15,120 --> 00:04:18,120
Speaker 2: head coach there, so you know, he may have another

83
00:04:18,160 --> 00:04:21,320
Speaker 2: suitor there. And honestly, you know, if you look at

84
00:04:21,320 --> 00:04:23,719
Speaker 2: those same teams that we just rolled through there, except

85
00:04:23,720 --> 00:04:27,120
Speaker 2: for the Vikings, the Giants would make some sense. And

86
00:04:27,200 --> 00:04:30,400
Speaker 2: of course the Raiders and Steelers Giants. I mean, those

87
00:04:30,440 --> 00:04:32,800
Speaker 2: are three teams that are looking for the quarterback. The

88
00:04:32,880 --> 00:04:36,680
Speaker 2: Vikings would just bring Donald back, you know, basically because

89
00:04:36,680 --> 00:04:39,480
Speaker 2: they don't want to lose him for nothing, and maybe

90
00:04:39,480 --> 00:04:42,599
Speaker 2: you trade either you trade him or you you know,

91
00:04:42,640 --> 00:04:49,160
Speaker 2: you tradeccarthy and do it that way. But obviously they

92
00:04:49,279 --> 00:04:51,160
Speaker 2: like McCarthy enough last year to draft him in the

93
00:04:51,200 --> 00:04:53,119
Speaker 2: first round, so I would think that they're they haven't

94
00:04:53,160 --> 00:04:55,760
Speaker 2: soured on him. But the only thing that would have

95
00:04:55,839 --> 00:04:58,040
Speaker 2: changed would maybe be their opinion on Donald.

96
00:04:58,880 --> 00:05:01,040
Speaker 4: Right, which that would make I mean, I'm sure their

97
00:05:01,200 --> 00:05:03,560
Speaker 4: opinion of Donald has inflated quite a bit.

98
00:05:04,440 --> 00:05:04,600
Speaker 5: Now.

99
00:05:04,640 --> 00:05:08,440
Speaker 4: There's been talk that they could franchise them and trade him. Yeah, yeah,

100
00:05:08,440 --> 00:05:10,880
Speaker 4: that's possible, but they don't have a ton of cap space.

101
00:05:10,920 --> 00:05:14,560
Speaker 4: I mean that would really prohibit other moves. I mean,

102
00:05:14,560 --> 00:05:17,000
Speaker 4: that's a long time to kind of hold that money.

103
00:05:17,720 --> 00:05:19,560
Speaker 4: I kind of think Donald's going to hit the open

104
00:05:19,600 --> 00:05:21,320
Speaker 4: market and do pretty well for himself.

105
00:05:21,640 --> 00:05:25,880
Speaker 2: Yeah, and they'll still get uh, you know, comp pickback,

106
00:05:26,440 --> 00:05:28,359
Speaker 2: you know, based on the kind of contract he's going

107
00:05:28,440 --> 00:05:32,040
Speaker 2: to sign, So it'll just be a year from now.

108
00:05:32,600 --> 00:05:35,200
Speaker 3: But not ideal.

109
00:05:35,440 --> 00:05:37,279
Speaker 2: If you're you know, you're the Vikings, you'd like to

110
00:05:37,279 --> 00:05:39,000
Speaker 2: get more than a third round draft pick back for

111
00:05:39,040 --> 00:05:41,560
Speaker 2: that guy. And maybe maybe if the contracts big enough,

112
00:05:41,560 --> 00:05:44,120
Speaker 2: maybe you get two, maybe you get a three and

113
00:05:44,160 --> 00:05:46,359
Speaker 2: a five or something like that. But even at that,

114
00:05:46,360 --> 00:05:51,080
Speaker 2: that's not for a guy who you know, touchdown passes

115
00:05:51,360 --> 00:05:55,159
Speaker 2: is a starting quarterback. That's not that doesn't really you know,

116
00:05:57,279 --> 00:05:57,880
Speaker 2: equal out.

117
00:05:58,080 --> 00:06:00,000
Speaker 5: No, it's not. No, it's not a good deal.

118
00:06:00,200 --> 00:06:02,080
Speaker 4: I mean, it's a good deal if you look at

119
00:06:02,120 --> 00:06:04,320
Speaker 4: it from well, we signed a one year deal, we

120
00:06:04,320 --> 00:06:04,839
Speaker 4: got Yeah.

121
00:06:04,680 --> 00:06:06,239
Speaker 3: You got something for enough out of them.

122
00:06:06,400 --> 00:06:09,200
Speaker 4: Yeah, you're right, But in terms of what his value

123
00:06:09,360 --> 00:06:12,280
Speaker 4: is right the second you're not compics aren't going to

124
00:06:12,360 --> 00:06:12,640
Speaker 4: cut it.

125
00:06:12,880 --> 00:06:15,679
Speaker 5: So yeah, I don't know. I would consider.

126
00:06:16,360 --> 00:06:18,159
Speaker 4: I'd love to try to get more if I were them,

127
00:06:18,279 --> 00:06:19,760
Speaker 4: you know, if you could work out a little what

128
00:06:19,800 --> 00:06:23,920
Speaker 4: would what would McCarthy fetch on the open market. I

129
00:06:23,960 --> 00:06:26,200
Speaker 4: know the last two games weren't great for Donald, but

130
00:06:26,920 --> 00:06:29,320
Speaker 4: I don't think that's entirely his fault.

131
00:06:29,520 --> 00:06:33,520
Speaker 5: But it didn't help his stock, that's for sure, right, Right, So.

132
00:06:33,960 --> 00:06:35,960
Speaker 2: You know we've gone through the rest of the free

133
00:06:35,960 --> 00:06:39,080
Speaker 2: agent crop. Uh youre you're looking at Wilson and Fields

134
00:06:39,080 --> 00:06:41,720
Speaker 2: and Daniel Jones and Drew Lot and Andy Dalton and

135
00:06:41,800 --> 00:06:45,400
Speaker 2: Mason Rudolph and Jacoby Brissett and Cooper Rush.

136
00:06:46,120 --> 00:06:46,400
Speaker 5: You know.

137
00:06:48,000 --> 00:06:50,000
Speaker 2: Donald's you know, he's the he's the one that is

138
00:06:50,040 --> 00:06:55,720
Speaker 2: the coming off the best year and he's still beyond.

139
00:06:55,839 --> 00:06:57,200
Speaker 5: Yeah, but so young.

140
00:06:57,560 --> 00:07:01,880
Speaker 2: Yeah, h of that of the that's other group of guys.

141
00:07:03,000 --> 00:07:07,160
Speaker 2: Really that Wilson and Fields might be the next two

142
00:07:07,240 --> 00:07:07,800
Speaker 2: best guys.

143
00:07:09,440 --> 00:07:14,000
Speaker 4: I lean towards yes. I mean, especially with Winston's age,

144
00:07:14,240 --> 00:07:17,880
Speaker 4: he's probably not going to change the stripes. I guess

145
00:07:17,960 --> 00:07:20,960
Speaker 4: you could make an argument that Daniel Jones could be

146
00:07:21,040 --> 00:07:23,880
Speaker 4: a reclamation project I just have never been a big

147
00:07:23,920 --> 00:07:27,160
Speaker 4: fan since his college days. I thought he was overdrafted.

148
00:07:27,240 --> 00:07:31,440
Speaker 4: But maybe he rebounds in the right situation. But man,

149
00:07:31,480 --> 00:07:33,120
Speaker 4: it's thin, it's real thin.

150
00:07:33,840 --> 00:07:34,200
Speaker 5: Yeah.

151
00:07:34,240 --> 00:07:37,080
Speaker 4: Maybe Cousins, I mean, yeah, but he would having to

152
00:07:37,080 --> 00:07:41,040
Speaker 4: be really stretching. Yeah right, I mean Cousins and Rogers

153
00:07:41,080 --> 00:07:44,840
Speaker 4: at least have had success lately. But yeah, I don't

154
00:07:44,840 --> 00:07:46,080
Speaker 4: think where they're at in their career.

155
00:07:46,280 --> 00:07:48,840
Speaker 2: They're probably going to release him because he's he's got

156
00:07:48,840 --> 00:07:51,480
Speaker 2: a ten million dollars roster bonus that kicks in right

157
00:07:51,480 --> 00:07:53,560
Speaker 2: before the start of the league year in February or

158
00:07:53,560 --> 00:07:56,800
Speaker 2: in March, I should say, So that's probably gonna happen,

159
00:07:58,000 --> 00:08:02,560
Speaker 2: you know, essentially, Uh, you know, they paid a lot

160
00:08:02,600 --> 00:08:05,640
Speaker 2: of money to rent Kirk Cousins this year, and for

161
00:08:05,800 --> 00:08:08,240
Speaker 2: not a lot of they didn't get much of.

162
00:08:08,200 --> 00:08:11,840
Speaker 5: A terrible business, right, yeah, the terrible business.

163
00:08:11,320 --> 00:08:15,080
Speaker 2: You got the Aaron Rodgers situation. You know, we'll see

164
00:08:15,120 --> 00:08:18,120
Speaker 2: what happens with that. He's probably not going to still

165
00:08:18,120 --> 00:08:19,880
Speaker 2: be a Jet And then we'll see what happens with

166
00:08:19,920 --> 00:08:24,680
Speaker 2: Derek Carr. But you know, it just doesn't it just

167
00:08:24,720 --> 00:08:28,800
Speaker 2: doesn't go real well. So look at you're at sole Ax.

168
00:08:29,120 --> 00:08:30,640
Speaker 2: The Jets could also be a buyer.

169
00:08:30,760 --> 00:08:32,840
Speaker 4: I'm not saying Donald's going to go back to the Jets,

170
00:08:32,840 --> 00:08:34,360
Speaker 4: but they could be a buyer for one of these

171
00:08:34,440 --> 00:08:35,200
Speaker 4: quarterbacks too.

172
00:08:35,559 --> 00:08:39,760
Speaker 2: Yeah, he runs through some scenarios here. Scenario number he

173
00:08:39,760 --> 00:08:42,960
Speaker 2: gets a little, he gets way too crazy.

174
00:08:42,640 --> 00:08:43,360
Speaker 3: For my liking.

175
00:08:43,920 --> 00:08:47,160
Speaker 2: Uh, if Donald goes to the Raiders, he says, then

176
00:08:47,200 --> 00:08:48,600
Speaker 2: Cousins goes to the Steelers.

177
00:08:49,360 --> 00:08:54,040
Speaker 3: No no, no, no, no, no no no, that would

178
00:08:54,080 --> 00:08:54,600
Speaker 3: be awful.

179
00:08:54,679 --> 00:08:55,199
Speaker 5: Yeah.

180
00:08:56,080 --> 00:08:59,040
Speaker 4: Yeah, I mean maybe he could look like the guy

181
00:08:59,080 --> 00:09:02,040
Speaker 4: from two years ago with a year removed from the injury,

182
00:09:02,600 --> 00:09:04,000
Speaker 4: and then you'll be in okay shape.

183
00:09:04,000 --> 00:09:06,520
Speaker 5: But what we saw in Atlanta was not what I want.

184
00:09:06,679 --> 00:09:12,120
Speaker 2: He doesn't move. He can't move. I mean, he's just can't. Yeah,

185
00:09:12,200 --> 00:09:14,160
Speaker 2: he's a he's a pawn on the chessboard. He can

186
00:09:14,200 --> 00:09:16,079
Speaker 2: only go one block at a time. When I when

187
00:09:16,080 --> 00:09:19,240
Speaker 2: you need a queen out there that can do multiple moves,

188
00:09:20,000 --> 00:09:20,760
Speaker 2: it just doesn't work.

189
00:09:21,000 --> 00:09:21,200
Speaker 3: Said.

190
00:09:21,240 --> 00:09:24,000
Speaker 2: Then Rogers goes to the Titans and Russell Wilson to

191
00:09:24,080 --> 00:09:26,480
Speaker 2: the Jets. The Browns draft cam Ward.

192
00:09:29,520 --> 00:09:31,800
Speaker 5: I don't see that happening, but fair enough.

193
00:09:34,480 --> 00:09:37,520
Speaker 2: Scenario number two, Darnold goes to the Steelers. Well, I

194
00:09:37,559 --> 00:09:40,640
Speaker 2: don't think this is gonna happen, said them. Rogers and

195
00:09:40,840 --> 00:09:46,400
Speaker 2: Russell Wilson both go to the Raiders. That's weird.

196
00:09:46,480 --> 00:09:48,080
Speaker 3: Justin Fields goes to the Giants.

197
00:09:50,120 --> 00:09:51,760
Speaker 4: I would have interest in Fields if I were the

198
00:09:51,800 --> 00:09:54,920
Speaker 4: Giants and maybe have him compete with somebody.

199
00:09:55,360 --> 00:09:57,760
Speaker 2: Yeah, and the Titans actually stay at number one and

200
00:09:57,840 --> 00:09:59,200
Speaker 2: draft the quarterback.

201
00:10:00,840 --> 00:10:02,400
Speaker 5: Also possible, I assume. Yeah.

202
00:10:03,559 --> 00:10:07,720
Speaker 2: Uh, scenario number three, if Darnold goes to the Giants,

203
00:10:08,679 --> 00:10:10,880
Speaker 2: then Aaron Rodgers goes to the Colts.

204
00:10:11,960 --> 00:10:12,600
Speaker 3: That doesn't matter.

205
00:10:12,600 --> 00:10:13,560
Speaker 5: I don't see that at all.

206
00:10:13,800 --> 00:10:15,080
Speaker 3: I don't get that at all. Either.

207
00:10:16,080 --> 00:10:20,480
Speaker 2: The Jets trade up for the number one pick, okay,

208
00:10:21,520 --> 00:10:25,240
Speaker 2: and the Steelers resigned seven. Yeah, the Steelers resigned both

209
00:10:25,320 --> 00:10:27,480
Speaker 2: Russell Wilson and Justin Fields.

210
00:10:29,640 --> 00:10:32,120
Speaker 4: That part doesn't sound insane. But we did hear from

211
00:10:32,120 --> 00:10:36,040
Speaker 4: mister Rooney yesterday, and we heard that both these guys

212
00:10:36,640 --> 00:10:39,559
Speaker 4: strive to be a starter on whatever team they end up.

213
00:10:39,640 --> 00:10:41,800
Speaker 4: I mean, I'd be shocked if they both come back.

214
00:10:41,920 --> 00:10:45,199
Speaker 4: But you know, weirder things have happened, I guess.

215
00:10:45,280 --> 00:10:45,720
Speaker 3: Yeah.

216
00:10:45,760 --> 00:10:48,400
Speaker 2: And then finally the final chip of that one, Andy

217
00:10:48,440 --> 00:10:54,040
Speaker 2: Dalton goes to the Titans for a reunion with Brian Callahan. Okay,

218
00:10:54,200 --> 00:10:56,840
Speaker 2: they spent they spent a season together in Cincinnati before

219
00:10:56,880 --> 00:10:57,959
Speaker 2: Joe Burrow was drafted.

220
00:10:58,040 --> 00:11:01,559
Speaker 4: So yeah, I know there's a Bengals connection, But who's

221
00:11:01,559 --> 00:11:03,840
Speaker 4: your starter. I mean, I guess you can still draft one.

222
00:11:04,240 --> 00:11:04,640
Speaker 5: Yeah, one.

223
00:11:05,720 --> 00:11:10,280
Speaker 2: Scenario number four opening up this store, Darnold stays with

224
00:11:10,320 --> 00:11:10,920
Speaker 2: the Vikings.

225
00:11:12,160 --> 00:11:16,320
Speaker 3: The Steelers trade for Derek Carr. I don't love that either.

226
00:11:16,760 --> 00:11:17,720
Speaker 3: I'm it's not awful.

227
00:11:17,800 --> 00:11:19,720
Speaker 5: I love it either. It's not awful.

228
00:11:19,760 --> 00:11:21,920
Speaker 4: I mean, you'd be a it wouldn't he wouldn't be

229
00:11:21,920 --> 00:11:25,360
Speaker 4: a terrible team, but it's not ideal.

230
00:11:25,840 --> 00:11:30,600
Speaker 2: No, Levis goes to the Raiders Will Levis and Jameis

231
00:11:30,640 --> 00:11:33,120
Speaker 2: Winston goes to the Jets, Cousins goes to the Browns.

232
00:11:33,160 --> 00:11:35,440
Speaker 3: Now. I think that one makes a lot of sense.

233
00:11:35,480 --> 00:11:37,400
Speaker 2: I think the Browns are gonna are gonna go go

234
00:11:37,480 --> 00:11:42,040
Speaker 2: after Cousins and to the Russell Wilson thing, because he'll

235
00:11:42,080 --> 00:11:45,520
Speaker 2: be cheap and they really can't afford, you know, they

236
00:11:45,600 --> 00:11:49,320
Speaker 2: afford to pay for a quarterback. And I just think

237
00:11:49,559 --> 00:11:50,959
Speaker 2: I think Kirk Cousins is washed.

238
00:11:52,440 --> 00:11:53,679
Speaker 5: I tend to agree.

239
00:11:55,000 --> 00:11:57,760
Speaker 4: In the preface of this article, Ben's basically saying, I'm

240
00:11:57,800 --> 00:11:59,439
Speaker 4: just trying to create chaos here.

241
00:11:59,559 --> 00:12:01,600
Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean he's not a good job of it.

242
00:12:01,920 --> 00:12:04,080
Speaker 5: Yeah. Yeah.

243
00:12:04,559 --> 00:12:06,480
Speaker 3: Finally, Daniel Jones kind of.

244
00:12:06,400 --> 00:12:09,360
Speaker 5: Like I say, I kind of like a couple of these.

245
00:12:09,240 --> 00:12:12,959
Speaker 4: Fits, like yeah, yeah, I mean, cousins of Steelers wouldn't

246
00:12:13,360 --> 00:12:14,680
Speaker 4: be the worst thing in the world.

247
00:12:14,960 --> 00:12:15,440
Speaker 3: No, it's not.

248
00:12:16,000 --> 00:12:18,520
Speaker 4: I think we'll end up somewhere. Maybe it's the Raiders,

249
00:12:18,520 --> 00:12:21,080
Speaker 4: who knows, but I don't think Levis comes back and

250
00:12:21,360 --> 00:12:24,760
Speaker 4: Winston to the Jets. I'll take that. Cousins the Browns,

251
00:12:24,840 --> 00:12:27,600
Speaker 4: I kind of get. And hey, Daniel Jones is the

252
00:12:27,600 --> 00:12:30,000
Speaker 4: heck of an athlete to the Colts, Okay, I mean.

253
00:12:30,080 --> 00:12:32,600
Speaker 2: That would make some sense. Yeah, that would make some sense.

254
00:12:33,679 --> 00:12:36,520
Speaker 2: So interesting little scenario. And again, this just kind of

255
00:12:36,559 --> 00:12:42,040
Speaker 2: shows you how volatile this quarterback situation could be.

256
00:12:43,800 --> 00:12:46,280
Speaker 4: And I wonder what the first domino is. I mean,

257
00:12:46,480 --> 00:12:48,959
Speaker 4: it might be the Steelers just keeping one of their own.

258
00:12:48,880 --> 00:12:52,400
Speaker 2: Right, or it could be you know, the Vikings franchise

259
00:12:52,440 --> 00:12:56,000
Speaker 2: tagging cousins or you know something or I'm sorry, Darnold

260
00:12:56,080 --> 00:12:58,439
Speaker 2: or something along those lines, because those are going to

261
00:12:58,520 --> 00:13:00,760
Speaker 2: have to come out. And again, that's why the Senior

262
00:13:00,760 --> 00:13:02,560
Speaker 2: Bowl to here this week is such a big deal,

263
00:13:02,640 --> 00:13:05,199
Speaker 2: because teams are getting a look at these other quarterbacks.

264
00:13:05,480 --> 00:13:07,240
Speaker 3: You know, do they like these guys or not?

265
00:13:08,040 --> 00:13:08,280
Speaker 5: Hey?

266
00:13:08,400 --> 00:13:11,080
Speaker 3: Is this what? What? What round? Do we have these guys?

267
00:13:11,080 --> 00:13:13,559
Speaker 2: And know there are multiple guys that we think can

268
00:13:13,600 --> 00:13:18,160
Speaker 2: be something down the road, and so absolutely you know

269
00:13:18,200 --> 00:13:21,440
Speaker 2: that that may that may affect some of these decisions.

270
00:13:21,440 --> 00:13:23,640
Speaker 2: You know that Let's say the Titans, for example, don't

271
00:13:23,640 --> 00:13:26,760
Speaker 2: take a quarterback with the first overall pick where they're

272
00:13:26,760 --> 00:13:28,280
Speaker 2: going to have a high second round pick. Are they

273
00:13:28,280 --> 00:13:30,240
Speaker 2: going to take a quarterback maybe with that spot like

274
00:13:30,240 --> 00:13:32,880
Speaker 2: they did with Levis potentially, or.

275
00:13:32,840 --> 00:13:35,240
Speaker 4: Move back into the first or yeah, they still have

276
00:13:35,280 --> 00:13:36,760
Speaker 4: a lot of stuff at their disposal.

277
00:13:36,840 --> 00:13:40,679
Speaker 5: Yeah, yeah, Just how deep it is this class?

278
00:13:40,720 --> 00:13:43,719
Speaker 4: Who are potential starters if everything falls right in their

279
00:13:43,760 --> 00:13:46,280
Speaker 4: career and who do you check the box? The opposite

280
00:13:46,320 --> 00:13:48,640
Speaker 4: way too, Like, man, I watched them and wanted to

281
00:13:48,679 --> 00:13:51,160
Speaker 4: like them all Senior Bowl week and I don't see it, you.

282
00:13:51,120 --> 00:13:54,040
Speaker 3: Know, yeah, right right, So that's why it's such a

283
00:13:54,040 --> 00:13:54,679
Speaker 3: big week here.

284
00:13:54,679 --> 00:13:56,840
Speaker 2: And then of course the combine, I would expect some

285
00:13:56,920 --> 00:14:00,280
Speaker 2: of these things will have begun to resolve themselves. By

286
00:14:00,320 --> 00:14:04,000
Speaker 2: the combine. We're soon thereafter, I think the new League years.

287
00:14:04,000 --> 00:14:07,400
Speaker 2: But too, basically two weeks after the combine, so you

288
00:14:07,520 --> 00:14:09,600
Speaker 2: got to start to have some of these ducks in

289
00:14:09,600 --> 00:14:09,960
Speaker 2: a row.

290
00:14:11,320 --> 00:14:15,959
Speaker 4: Yeah, and some of these secrets come leaking out pretty

291
00:14:15,960 --> 00:14:17,839
Speaker 4: early too, you know. Yeah, like we kind of knew

292
00:14:17,840 --> 00:14:21,800
Speaker 4: Cousins was going to Atlanta before it happened, right right.

293
00:14:21,640 --> 00:14:23,680
Speaker 3: So anyways, let's get to another break. Matt.

294
00:14:23,760 --> 00:14:26,560
Speaker 2: He is Matt Williamson. I am Dale, Lolly. You're listening

295
00:14:26,560 --> 00:14:29,480
Speaker 2: to the drive here on the Steelers Audio Network. I

296
00:14:29,520 --> 00:14:33,560
Speaker 2: am here in beautiful Mobile, Alabama, at Hancock Whitney Stadium.

297
00:14:33,560 --> 00:14:37,320
Speaker 2: The national team out there practicing as we speak, and

298
00:14:37,560 --> 00:14:39,400
Speaker 2: we'll get this more of what's going on with that

299
00:14:39,440 --> 00:14:42,840
Speaker 2: group here as I'm watching a nice ball down the

300
00:14:42,880 --> 00:14:48,120
Speaker 2: sidelines from from our guy Elgersma. There's a nice little

301
00:14:48,120 --> 00:14:51,280
Speaker 2: football there, so it's one on ones with the receivers

302
00:14:51,280 --> 00:14:54,680
Speaker 2: and well you know, wideouts or receivers and defensive backs there.

303
00:14:54,680 --> 00:14:56,720
Speaker 2: But he dropped one in right at the front pylon

304
00:14:56,760 --> 00:14:59,200
Speaker 2: there from about was that about forty five to fifty

305
00:14:59,240 --> 00:15:02,560
Speaker 2: yards out, So there's not a bad deep ball. But anyways,

306
00:15:02,600 --> 00:15:05,640
Speaker 2: let's get through a break. Yeah, he is Matt Williamson.

307
00:15:05,760 --> 00:15:07,920
Speaker 2: I am Dale, Lolly. You're listening to the Drive here

308

00:15:15,080 --> 00:15:15,560
Speaker 3: At least.

311
00:15:15,720 --> 00:15:19,160

Speaker 2: Steelers Audio Network. And I am here at Hancock Whitney

317
00:15:37,360 --> 00:15:41,880
Speaker 2: Stadium here in Mobile, Alabama for the practices here for

318
00:15:41,920 --> 00:15:42,640
Speaker 2: the Senior Bowl.

319
00:15:43,160 --> 00:15:45,760
Speaker 3: Starting to work on some kickoff stuff here.

320
00:15:46,240 --> 00:15:48,640
Speaker 2: And it's kind of like I was thinking about this

321
00:15:48,760 --> 00:15:52,840
Speaker 2: last night, Matt, and it's completely off the topic here,

322
00:15:52,840 --> 00:15:55,800
Speaker 2: but the jump bam basketball.

323
00:15:57,040 --> 00:15:59,040
Speaker 3: Used to be a big thing that you had to

324
00:15:59,080 --> 00:16:01,440
Speaker 3: practice it because you did it multiple.

325
00:16:01,160 --> 00:16:04,120
Speaker 2: Times during the game. Now you only do it once.

326
00:16:05,000 --> 00:16:07,960
Speaker 2: You do it once at the start of the game,

327
00:16:08,920 --> 00:16:09,680
Speaker 2: and it's.

328
00:16:09,480 --> 00:16:12,920
Speaker 4: Like you were organized and playing. You guys practice jump

329
00:16:13,000 --> 00:16:13,560
Speaker 4: balls a lot.

330
00:16:13,640 --> 00:16:15,800
Speaker 2: Oh yeah, you had to because anytime there was a

331
00:16:15,840 --> 00:16:18,240
Speaker 2: tie up, they didn't have the they didn't have the possession.

332
00:16:17,880 --> 00:16:19,760
Speaker 3: Arrow, so you had to Yeah, yeah, you had to

333
00:16:19,760 --> 00:16:20,000
Speaker 3: go out.

334
00:16:20,040 --> 00:16:21,640
Speaker 2: Everybody on the team had to know how to do

335
00:16:21,840 --> 00:16:24,600
Speaker 2: this the jump because you would do it, you know wherever.

336
00:16:24,920 --> 00:16:26,200
Speaker 3: Now it's only you only do it once.

337
00:16:26,240 --> 00:16:28,200
Speaker 2: I can remember, you know, when I was coaching, I'm like,

338
00:16:28,520 --> 00:16:30,680
Speaker 2: we're getting ready for our first games. Like the next

339
00:16:30,720 --> 00:16:32,560
Speaker 2: day we got to have player first game. We haven't

340
00:16:32,560 --> 00:16:36,280
Speaker 2: even worked on the on the center jump yet. You

341
00:16:36,320 --> 00:16:39,880
Speaker 2: do it once during the game, So could we come.

342
00:16:40,200 --> 00:16:42,840
Speaker 5: I'm sure the practice did it all back to when you.

343
00:16:42,800 --> 00:16:45,400
Speaker 2: Know, Oh, you had to because everybody in the team,

344
00:16:45,400 --> 00:16:48,560
Speaker 2: if if you're if you're you know, your point guard

345
00:16:48,680 --> 00:16:51,000
Speaker 2: tie get tied up with another point guard, Like, okay,

346
00:16:51,000 --> 00:16:51,560
Speaker 2: they gotta do it.

347
00:16:51,640 --> 00:16:54,120
Speaker 3: They gotta do a jump, all right, where's everybody aligning

348
00:16:54,160 --> 00:16:54,400
Speaker 3: for that?

349
00:16:54,800 --> 00:16:55,600
Speaker 5: You know? Yeah?

350
00:16:55,720 --> 00:16:59,200
Speaker 2: Yeah, so you have different plays off of it and stuff. Okay,

351
00:16:59,200 --> 00:17:00,840
Speaker 2: we're gonna try to get there if we think we're

352
00:17:00,840 --> 00:17:02,280
Speaker 2: gonna win it. If we're not gonna win it, we're

353
00:17:02,280 --> 00:17:07,119
Speaker 2: gonna do a little defensive jump. So but yeah, the

354
00:17:07,440 --> 00:17:11,399
Speaker 2: the kickoff stuff here, they're doing the college rules for this.

355
00:17:12,600 --> 00:17:15,840
Speaker 5: I was curious about that, the dynamic kickoff or not.

356
00:17:16,359 --> 00:17:19,040
Speaker 2: No, they're not, And so that that's interesting. They're gonna

357
00:17:19,040 --> 00:17:20,760
Speaker 2: have these guys run down on That's what made that

358
00:17:20,840 --> 00:17:22,520
Speaker 2: made me think of all that is they're gonna do

359
00:17:23,280 --> 00:17:26,080
Speaker 2: the regular kickoff, so you're gonna see the old school

360
00:17:26,240 --> 00:17:26,920
Speaker 2: kickoff is.

361
00:17:27,280 --> 00:17:30,040
Speaker 3: Old school, going back to twenty twenty three as it were.

362
00:17:32,359 --> 00:17:36,159
Speaker 4: I bet the logic behind that is these special teams

363
00:17:36,200 --> 00:17:39,480
Speaker 4: coaches don't know any of the players, None of the

364
00:17:39,520 --> 00:17:41,040
Speaker 4: players have done it the new way.

365
00:17:41,480 --> 00:17:42,440
Speaker 5: Yeah, they teaching them.

366
00:17:42,640 --> 00:17:44,760
Speaker 2: Teaching them to do that in three practices might be

367
00:17:44,800 --> 00:17:46,080
Speaker 2: a bit much to ask.

368
00:17:46,000 --> 00:17:49,080
Speaker 4: Right, And I'm sure the scouts don't want to spend

369
00:17:49,160 --> 00:17:52,520
Speaker 4: a third of the practice on special teams. And half

370
00:17:52,560 --> 00:17:54,360
Speaker 4: these guys have never played special teams in their life.

371
00:17:54,480 --> 00:17:54,640
Speaker 3: Right.

372
00:17:54,680 --> 00:17:57,040
Speaker 2: That's the other thing, Like you're putting guys out there, right,

373
00:17:57,320 --> 00:17:59,560
Speaker 2: I'm just gonna run down there like a Kamakazi because

374
00:17:59,560 --> 00:18:01,200
Speaker 2: I had no idea what I'm doing here.

375
00:18:01,760 --> 00:18:04,000
Speaker 4: No idea what I'm doing. I'm just lucky to be here.

376
00:18:04,000 --> 00:18:06,679
Speaker 4: I got nothing to lose. So yeah, I guess that

377
00:18:06,760 --> 00:18:09,479
Speaker 4: makes sense just from a logistics standpoint of it. Of

378
00:18:10,080 --> 00:18:12,280
Speaker 4: let's at least keep it of how they've done it

379
00:18:12,440 --> 00:18:14,159
Speaker 4: till now. We're not going to change the rules on them.

380
00:18:14,160 --> 00:18:16,879
Speaker 4: There's enough change. Yeah, the special teams coaches have their

381
00:18:16,880 --> 00:18:17,359
Speaker 4: hands full.

382
00:18:17,320 --> 00:18:19,680
Speaker 2: That week, man, I would say, so, yeah, you put

383
00:18:19,960 --> 00:18:24,080
Speaker 2: you got, you got maybe I don't know. Of the

384
00:18:24,080 --> 00:18:27,000
Speaker 2: one hundred plus players here, twenty percent of them probably

385
00:18:27,040 --> 00:18:30,080
Speaker 2: played special teams this year. You know, more than that

386
00:18:30,119 --> 00:18:33,120
Speaker 2: probably have some kind of special teams deeper back into

387
00:18:33,160 --> 00:18:36,600
Speaker 2: their you know, into their careers. But that might even

388
00:18:36,600 --> 00:18:39,119
Speaker 2: be including like, okay, your offensive linemen, we're out there

389
00:18:39,119 --> 00:18:41,760
Speaker 2: on field goals and stuff of that nature. But that's

390
00:18:41,800 --> 00:18:43,800
Speaker 2: by yeah, you know, they weren't out there running their

391
00:18:43,840 --> 00:18:44,640
Speaker 2: house or anything.

392
00:18:45,640 --> 00:18:47,920
Speaker 4: I may have done kicks or punt you know, any

393
00:18:47,960 --> 00:18:50,400
Speaker 4: of the four major ones. I bet it's less than

394
00:18:50,680 --> 00:18:53,440
Speaker 4: twenty percent of the non kickers and punters.

395
00:18:53,560 --> 00:18:55,280
Speaker 2: Yeah, some of these some and some of these wide

396
00:18:55,280 --> 00:18:59,240
Speaker 2: receivers like they've probably never done it before, like we're

397
00:18:59,240 --> 00:19:00,960
Speaker 2: talking about, you know, might be turners.

398
00:19:01,240 --> 00:19:02,479
Speaker 3: Yeah, that would be about it.

399
00:19:02,520 --> 00:19:06,159
Speaker 2: But you know, you was Xavier Rostrepo running down on

400
00:19:06,280 --> 00:19:10,520
Speaker 2: kicks for Miami. Probably not, I mean maybe, no, he's

401
00:19:10,520 --> 00:19:12,880
Speaker 2: too valuable. You know the same thing with the running backs.

402
00:19:13,160 --> 00:19:15,359
Speaker 2: You talked about Benny Snow earlier, Well, he was. He

403
00:19:15,440 --> 00:19:17,720
Speaker 2: was the starting running back of Kentucky from you know,

404
00:19:17,760 --> 00:19:22,040
Speaker 2: basically year one. You're you're not using you running down

405
00:19:22,040 --> 00:19:23,520
Speaker 2: the kickoffs and things of that nature.

406
00:19:24,760 --> 00:19:27,040
Speaker 4: Now, some of these guys that are, you know, five

407
00:19:27,119 --> 00:19:31,800
Speaker 4: star recruits at Bama. They're freshman year, they do that stuff,

408
00:19:31,960 --> 00:19:34,520
Speaker 4: you know while they make their bones, okay, you know,

409
00:19:34,760 --> 00:19:37,560
Speaker 4: and they're great athletes, and you know, instead of using

410
00:19:37,560 --> 00:19:38,080
Speaker 4: the stars.

411
00:19:38,840 --> 00:19:41,439
Speaker 5: But no, I mean, that's new for all these guys.

412
00:19:41,520 --> 00:19:45,880
Speaker 4: And I guess the dynamic kickoff thing is one way

413
00:19:45,880 --> 00:19:48,280
Speaker 4: of looking at it, because man, that would really be

414
00:19:48,920 --> 00:19:51,520
Speaker 4: problematic probably. I'm sure these guys would not know the

415
00:19:51,560 --> 00:19:53,560
Speaker 4: rules or be natural with it at all.

416
00:19:54,000 --> 00:19:56,760
Speaker 2: Yeah, it's like for the linebackers and the safeties and

417
00:19:56,800 --> 00:19:58,880
Speaker 2: guys of that nature. Even some of the edge rushers,

418
00:20:00,560 --> 00:20:04,120
Speaker 2: not that big of a deal. But if you, let's

419
00:20:04,119 --> 00:20:07,520
Speaker 2: say you're a Harold Fannin at a bowling Green, right,

420
00:20:07,760 --> 00:20:10,240
Speaker 2: You're probably gonna have to play special teams in the NFL,

421
00:20:10,880 --> 00:20:12,480
Speaker 2: and you've probably never done it before.

422
00:20:13,800 --> 00:20:17,280
Speaker 4: He's probably a third tight end, maybe a second in

423
00:20:17,320 --> 00:20:21,040
Speaker 4: his rookie year, second tight end. He might not have

424
00:20:21,119 --> 00:20:23,919
Speaker 4: to third tight end, he definitely has to. And he

425
00:20:24,080 --> 00:20:26,600
Speaker 4: was by far the best player not only on his team,

426
00:20:26,680 --> 00:20:29,160
Speaker 4: but like in this whole conference last year. I mean,

427
00:20:29,240 --> 00:20:34,119
Speaker 4: so him, you know, yeah, yeah, a couple of those

428
00:20:34,160 --> 00:20:35,800
Speaker 4: type of dudes, interesting.

429
00:20:36,000 --> 00:20:36,200
Speaker 5: Yeah.

430
00:20:36,240 --> 00:20:38,400
Speaker 4: I mean I always us smell as that example though,

431
00:20:38,400 --> 00:20:40,359
Speaker 4: just because if he was an SEC running back not

432
00:20:40,440 --> 00:20:42,480
Speaker 4: on a powerhouse, and he was like their best player

433
00:20:42,520 --> 00:20:44,600
Speaker 4: on offense, then he turned into a good special teamer.

434
00:20:45,119 --> 00:20:47,240
Speaker 2: Yeah yeah, and that was I mean I can remember

435
00:20:47,280 --> 00:20:51,320
Speaker 2: when when the Steelers drafted James Connor, that was one

436
00:20:51,320 --> 00:20:54,440
Speaker 2: of the things back in twenty seventeen. They thought he

437
00:20:54,480 --> 00:20:56,560
Speaker 2: would be a good special teams guy because he had

438
00:20:56,560 --> 00:20:58,840
Speaker 2: played some defensive pitt so.

439
00:20:58,920 --> 00:21:00,760
Speaker 5: That should lineman and.

440
00:21:00,920 --> 00:21:03,720
Speaker 2: Yeah, that should that should come into play for Yeah,

441
00:21:03,720 --> 00:21:05,359
Speaker 2: he's he's done that kind of stuff. We know he

442
00:21:05,400 --> 00:21:07,840
Speaker 2: can tackle people. And then he ended up, you know,

443
00:21:08,040 --> 00:21:10,040
Speaker 2: being hurt most of his rookie year and never playing

444
00:21:10,359 --> 00:21:12,320
Speaker 2: much special teams and then the next year he's the

445
00:21:12,359 --> 00:21:13,119
Speaker 2: starting running back.

446
00:21:13,200 --> 00:21:14,280
Speaker 3: So it just never.

447
00:21:14,160 --> 00:21:17,119
Speaker 2: Worked out that. Uh yeah, you know that he played

448
00:21:17,119 --> 00:21:19,080
Speaker 2: a lot of special teams. Uh So you can have

449
00:21:19,160 --> 00:21:21,080
Speaker 2: plans for those kind of things and it just doesn't

450
00:21:21,119 --> 00:21:21,840
Speaker 2: work out.

451
00:21:23,880 --> 00:21:24,560
Speaker 5: Yeah, they real quick.

452
00:21:24,560 --> 00:21:28,240
Speaker 4: I always give extra credit to receivers that do special

453
00:21:28,280 --> 00:21:31,560
Speaker 4: teams in college that aren't returning, you know, like like

454
00:21:31,640 --> 00:21:35,080
Speaker 4: Terry mccomis and Williams. I say mclaurin's the best example

455
00:21:35,200 --> 00:21:37,399
Speaker 4: and Jamison Williams was a gunner.

456
00:21:37,040 --> 00:21:38,720
Speaker 5: For Alabama before he got hurt.

457
00:21:39,040 --> 00:21:42,000
Speaker 4: I mean, just shows you're tough and aggressive. And McLaurin

458
00:21:42,640 --> 00:21:46,280
Speaker 4: wasn't even really ever the buck guy's best number one receiver.

459
00:21:46,440 --> 00:21:48,000
Speaker 4: He was a you know, big part of the offense.

460
00:21:48,080 --> 00:21:50,360
Speaker 4: He wasn't the best receiver, but he was a really

461
00:21:50,400 --> 00:21:53,440
Speaker 4: good special teamer. I mean that's I love those type

462
00:21:53,440 --> 00:21:53,840
Speaker 4: of dudes.

463
00:21:54,040 --> 00:21:56,640
Speaker 2: Yeah, I think the kid out of u NLV. He's

464
00:21:56,680 --> 00:21:59,200
Speaker 2: not here this week at the Senior Bob. Absolutely, he's

465
00:21:59,240 --> 00:22:01,360
Speaker 2: actually at out at the East West Front. I think

466
00:22:01,359 --> 00:22:02,480
Speaker 2: he had four block kicks.

467
00:22:02,320 --> 00:22:02,840
Speaker 3: In his career.

468
00:22:04,000 --> 00:22:08,320
Speaker 4: Yes, he's a great example. And I would bet if

469
00:22:08,400 --> 00:22:10,840
Speaker 4: a receiver gets hurt, I bet he's the first call up.

470
00:22:10,880 --> 00:22:14,040
Speaker 4: But apparently he had a great, trying week of practice.

471
00:22:14,560 --> 00:22:18,159
Speaker 4: Tough guy. His last name is White from UNLA. I

472
00:22:18,160 --> 00:22:19,360
Speaker 4: think he'd be a good Steeler too.

473
00:22:19,880 --> 00:22:24,560
Speaker 2: Yeah, when we know the Steelers value blocking kicks, right,

474
00:22:24,600 --> 00:22:26,040
Speaker 2: we're gonna get some. We're gonna get some of the

475
00:22:26,040 --> 00:22:28,360
Speaker 2: one on ones here now down here to my right,

476
00:22:28,960 --> 00:22:31,320
Speaker 2: get the offensive and defensive lines lining up here. The

477
00:22:31,720 --> 00:22:34,879
Speaker 2: quarterbacks and the dbs and running backs and receivers are

478
00:22:34,920 --> 00:22:35,560
Speaker 2: all getting together.

479
00:22:35,560 --> 00:22:35,840
Speaker 3: As well.

480
00:22:35,880 --> 00:22:37,879
Speaker 2: They're going to do some of their one on one stuff.

481
00:22:37,880 --> 00:22:40,800
Speaker 2: But we're gonna see some of these big fellas get

482
00:22:40,840 --> 00:22:42,080
Speaker 2: together here for the one on ones.

483
00:22:42,080 --> 00:22:42,840
Speaker 3: That's always fun.

484
00:22:43,840 --> 00:22:47,480
Speaker 4: Now that's a blast. I can't wait too. Fortunately for me,

485
00:22:47,640 --> 00:22:50,240
Speaker 4: I'm not being there. The coverage is pretty good on

486
00:22:50,400 --> 00:22:52,320
Speaker 4: NFL Network. You see a lot of it, and you

487
00:22:52,359 --> 00:22:53,960
Speaker 4: can find a lot of stuff online.

488
00:22:54,000 --> 00:22:56,959
Speaker 5: So psyched to dig into that. A big thing too.

489
00:22:57,000 --> 00:22:58,840
Speaker 5: I just wanted to stress with the Senior Bowl is.

490
00:23:00,400 --> 00:23:03,280
Speaker 4: All the coaches know that today's the first day and

491
00:23:03,320 --> 00:23:06,320
Speaker 4: these dudes are super energetic, but they also know that

492
00:23:06,400 --> 00:23:09,120
Speaker 4: they don't know anything yet. You know, they haven't been

493
00:23:09,160 --> 00:23:12,320
Speaker 4: coached on it, and they're going to make some mental

494
00:23:12,359 --> 00:23:14,360
Speaker 4: mistakes and they're not going to know all the calls,

495
00:23:14,680 --> 00:23:18,840
Speaker 4: and they're not playing very diverse you know schemes. A

496
00:23:18,960 --> 00:23:21,760
Speaker 4: huge thing is do you take what I taught you

497
00:23:21,880 --> 00:23:25,320
Speaker 4: yesterday and build on it next week day and the

498
00:23:25,359 --> 00:23:25,920
Speaker 4: next day.

499
00:23:26,080 --> 00:23:28,840
Speaker 5: You know, don't just stay flat lined. And that's a

500
00:23:28,920 --> 00:23:30,320
Speaker 5: huge key for these guys.

501
00:23:30,720 --> 00:23:35,000
Speaker 2: Yeah, absolutely, mistakes today, but yeah right right, but you

502
00:23:35,080 --> 00:23:38,360
Speaker 2: better not make the same mistake twice and just continue

503
00:23:38,359 --> 00:23:40,280
Speaker 2: to make it the rest of the week. I will

504
00:23:40,280 --> 00:23:43,800
Speaker 2: tell you that Mike Toman keeping a close eye on

505
00:23:43,840 --> 00:23:48,800
Speaker 2: the offensive slash defensive line drills here, so doesn't.

506
00:23:48,600 --> 00:23:50,879
Speaker 5: Surprise me at all. Again, we talked about in the

507
00:23:50,880 --> 00:23:51,280
Speaker 5: first hour.

508
00:23:51,560 --> 00:23:54,520
Speaker 4: It's the most football like thing, high quality guys, it is.

509
00:23:54,640 --> 00:23:57,480
Speaker 4: And there's some high quality players in this particular.

510
00:23:57,040 --> 00:23:59,840
Speaker 2: Event going on right now too, right right, So it's

511
00:23:59,880 --> 00:24:03,720
Speaker 2: always the fun partner's in factors. You look at this,

512
00:24:04,080 --> 00:24:07,840
Speaker 2: there's like nobody down here watching. Well, there's some people

513
00:24:07,880 --> 00:24:10,720
Speaker 2: down here watching the you know, along the sidelines and stuff.

514
00:24:10,720 --> 00:24:14,880
Speaker 2: There's a circle of scouts around the offensive slash defensive

515
00:24:14,880 --> 00:24:19,119
Speaker 2: line drills. Just I mean they they're basically what's the

516
00:24:19,160 --> 00:24:22,080
Speaker 2: old game glamor. Yeah, they're just they're just in a

517
00:24:22,119 --> 00:24:25,320
Speaker 2: circle and they're just battling here. It's like watching the Gladiators.

518
00:24:27,119 --> 00:24:30,480
Speaker 5: Yeah, it gets pretty tight too. You get close to

519
00:24:30,520 --> 00:24:30,880
Speaker 5: the action.

520
00:24:31,640 --> 00:24:33,000
Speaker 3: Yeah, you got you have to be on your toes.

521
00:24:33,040 --> 00:24:34,560
Speaker 2: You can't be chatting to the guy next to you

522
00:24:34,600 --> 00:24:36,960
Speaker 2: because they might come rolling your way and you got

523
00:24:37,000 --> 00:24:39,639
Speaker 2: six hundred times of humanity rolling across your legs.

524
00:24:39,920 --> 00:24:40,480
Speaker 3: That's not good.

525
00:24:40,920 --> 00:24:44,600
Speaker 2: They've been in there before, close enough that you have

526
00:24:44,640 --> 00:24:45,560
Speaker 2: to jump out of the way.

527
00:24:46,600 --> 00:24:48,919
Speaker 4: But uh, I think I told you the story, and

528
00:24:49,080 --> 00:24:52,600
Speaker 4: I was never very athletic, but I'm not small. One

529
00:24:52,600 --> 00:24:53,919
Speaker 4: of the you know, one of the you know, we

530
00:24:53,920 --> 00:24:56,520
Speaker 4: always work guys out with the Browns early in the week,

531
00:24:57,119 --> 00:25:00,879
Speaker 4: and this offensive lineman came in and or whatever reason,

532
00:25:00,960 --> 00:25:03,240
Speaker 4: they're like, oh no, we don't have anyone to hold

533
00:25:03,240 --> 00:25:06,840
Speaker 4: the pads, Matt, go do it. And this guy's trying

534
00:25:06,840 --> 00:25:09,840
Speaker 4: to get a job. He's six six three twenty. I'm

535
00:25:09,840 --> 00:25:12,960
Speaker 4: in my Khaki's sniffing hell. You know, I mean, no

536
00:25:13,080 --> 00:25:16,800
Speaker 4: athletic ability, no strength, and he's just blowing me off

537
00:25:16,840 --> 00:25:17,160
Speaker 4: the ball.

538
00:25:17,440 --> 00:25:18,520
Speaker 3: He's throwing you out of the ball.

539
00:25:19,680 --> 00:25:21,399
Speaker 4: Oh yeah, I mean he's just coming off the ball.

540
00:25:21,440 --> 00:25:23,240
Speaker 4: I'm supposed to hold the pad. He's coming off the

541
00:25:23,240 --> 00:25:26,040
Speaker 4: ball and just blasting into me, and I'm like on

542
00:25:26,080 --> 00:25:29,240
Speaker 4: the ground. And finally when the coaches is like, just

543
00:25:29,359 --> 00:25:31,040
Speaker 4: drop the pad as soon as he hits.

544
00:25:30,880 --> 00:25:33,440
Speaker 3: It, just lay it right.

545
00:25:33,320 --> 00:25:36,359
Speaker 4: Basically, like just kind of hold the thing so he

546
00:25:36,400 --> 00:25:39,480
Speaker 4: has a target and hold it to the side and

547
00:25:39,520 --> 00:25:40,440
Speaker 4: like run away.

548
00:25:40,200 --> 00:25:41,440
Speaker 5: As soon as he comes off the ball.

549
00:25:42,240 --> 00:25:44,440
Speaker 2: You're the guy standing there with with the hand pads

550
00:25:44,520 --> 00:25:46,360
Speaker 2: in the in the thing on your belly and Mike,

551
00:25:46,680 --> 00:25:48,199
Speaker 2: Mike Tyson's punching away at you.

552
00:25:49,480 --> 00:25:52,399
Speaker 4: Yeah, I mean I felt like I was training to

553
00:25:52,520 --> 00:25:55,560
Speaker 4: be a bullfighter or something like.

554
00:25:55,880 --> 00:25:59,240
Speaker 5: I have no business being out here. I'm a pedestrian.

555
00:25:59,320 --> 00:26:04,359
Speaker 5: Leave me alone, just trying to get a job, you know. Yeah.

556
00:26:04,520 --> 00:26:07,920
Speaker 2: Watching the Dylan Gabriel Worker, they get the basically they're

557
00:26:07,920 --> 00:26:10,600
Speaker 2: going nine on seven here with the quarterbacks and wide

558
00:26:10,640 --> 00:26:12,600
Speaker 2: receivers and yeah.

559
00:26:12,400 --> 00:26:15,760
Speaker 3: Gabriel the lefty there, so he's uh, you.

560
00:26:15,720 --> 00:26:19,080
Speaker 2: Know, just lefties just look different, and they really do.

561
00:26:19,280 --> 00:26:22,040
Speaker 4: Everyone compares them to two of course, because he's lefty

562
00:26:22,119 --> 00:26:24,920
Speaker 4: and not huge, you know, Yeah, but.

563
00:26:24,840 --> 00:26:28,359
Speaker 3: They just they always looks strange. But I can remember.

564
00:26:28,400 --> 00:26:30,720
Speaker 5: I bet he does well there though. He like two

565
00:26:30,760 --> 00:26:31,000
Speaker 5: of those.

566
00:26:31,040 --> 00:26:32,879
Speaker 4: He is a quick processor, and I bet this is

567
00:26:32,920 --> 00:26:33,960
Speaker 4: a good forum for him.

568
00:26:34,160 --> 00:26:36,920
Speaker 3: Yeah, forum for him. Yeah, I'm just looking here. Who's

569
00:26:36,960 --> 00:26:37,680
Speaker 3: that is that?

570
00:26:37,760 --> 00:26:39,520
Speaker 2: The receivers at a title. That's a tight end. That's

571
00:26:39,520 --> 00:26:42,760
Speaker 2: Pat Bryan at Illinois. Now that's what he's wide receiver. Sorry,

572
00:26:42,760 --> 00:26:44,320
Speaker 2: he's huge.

573
00:26:45,960 --> 00:26:47,400
Speaker 3: Yeah, there's some babes guys live.

574
00:26:47,480 --> 00:26:48,359
Speaker 5: There's a lot of value.

575
00:26:48,840 --> 00:26:52,720
Speaker 2: Yeah, a nice little out there from Gabriel, quick out.

576
00:26:54,680 --> 00:26:56,480
Speaker 5: Flipping through these guys.

577
00:26:56,960 --> 00:26:58,720
Speaker 2: Yeah, it's gonna take me a while to learn all

578
00:26:58,720 --> 00:27:01,159
Speaker 2: these guys. Gavin Bartholomew from Pitt now out there at

579
00:27:01,160 --> 00:27:02,000
Speaker 2: the tight end position.

580
00:27:02,880 --> 00:27:03,600
Speaker 3: Who else is out there?

581
00:27:03,720 --> 00:27:06,040
Speaker 2: They changed quarterbacks here now, so Schoff is out there

582
00:27:06,040 --> 00:27:07,119
Speaker 2: now at quarterback.

583
00:27:07,960 --> 00:27:12,560
Speaker 3: Out of I think it's shof out of Louisville.

584
00:27:12,640 --> 00:27:15,440
Speaker 4: I think the only local dudes are the pit tight

585
00:27:15,520 --> 00:27:19,400
Speaker 4: end and w U tight end or offensive lineman.

586
00:27:19,440 --> 00:27:19,600
Speaker 5: Yeah.

587
00:27:20,520 --> 00:27:24,120
Speaker 4: Yeah, Penn Staters, No, I don't believe there is this year.

588
00:27:24,240 --> 00:27:28,040
Speaker 4: I think they're all They played pretty late into the Yeah.

589
00:27:28,080 --> 00:27:31,879
Speaker 2: Again, and that's that's gonna be a problem moving forward.

590
00:27:33,080 --> 00:27:33,520
Speaker 5: Yeah.

591
00:27:33,760 --> 00:27:35,080
Speaker 3: No, that's Elgersmar out there.

592
00:27:35,920 --> 00:27:40,040
Speaker 2: There's a drop they put it on them.

593
00:27:40,200 --> 00:27:40,440
Speaker 3: Yeah.

594
00:27:40,440 --> 00:27:43,480
Speaker 2: I mean the longer this thing goes, and you know,

595
00:27:43,520 --> 00:27:46,360
Speaker 2: if they start adding more teams to the playoffs, now

596
00:27:46,359 --> 00:27:48,680
Speaker 2: you're adding more teams that are playing later into the year,

597
00:27:48,680 --> 00:27:50,679
Speaker 2: and you might end up killing.

598
00:27:50,440 --> 00:27:51,680
Speaker 3: These All Star games.

599
00:27:52,760 --> 00:27:52,960
Speaker 5: Yeah.

600
00:27:53,000 --> 00:27:55,600
Speaker 4: I hope they don't eventually like move the draft back

601
00:27:55,680 --> 00:27:59,119
Speaker 4: and two more weeks or whatever and then move the

602
00:27:59,160 --> 00:27:59,840
Speaker 4: Senior Bowl bag.

603
00:28:00,040 --> 00:28:00,399
Speaker 3: I don't know.

604
00:28:00,840 --> 00:28:07,080
Speaker 2: Dajauon Felton is a really impressive looking wide receiver, That's.

605
00:28:06,960 --> 00:28:09,040
Speaker 5: What I've heard. I think he would be very much

606
00:28:09,119 --> 00:28:10,320
Speaker 5: in the Steelers radar.

607
00:28:11,280 --> 00:28:11,560
Speaker 3: Yeah.

608
00:28:11,600 --> 00:28:16,320
Speaker 2: He is massive, really big dude and put together, rocked up.

609
00:28:17,480 --> 00:28:19,280
Speaker 2: Let's see what Eller's looks like.

610
00:28:19,320 --> 00:28:21,120
Speaker 3: Here throws the quick out.

611
00:28:22,920 --> 00:28:25,959
Speaker 2: Gets set to eighty three, which is Jayalen Lane out

612
00:28:26,000 --> 00:28:26,640
Speaker 2: of Virginia Tech.

613
00:28:26,680 --> 00:28:28,640
Speaker 3: I went to Virginia Tech wide receivers. Here.

614
00:28:29,440 --> 00:28:32,160
Speaker 4: They got a bunch of guys state receivers and two yeah,

615
00:28:32,240 --> 00:28:35,879
Speaker 4: Virginia Tech and Iowa State a couple of receivers.

616
00:28:36,160 --> 00:28:36,400
Speaker 5: Yeah.

617
00:28:36,560 --> 00:28:40,120
Speaker 2: Yeah, But he got the ball out quickly. I was

618
00:28:40,160 --> 00:28:42,200
Speaker 2: noticing with the shoff when he was doing his one

619
00:28:42,240 --> 00:28:44,320
Speaker 2: on one stuff. He kind of has a little bit

620
00:28:44,320 --> 00:28:46,800
Speaker 2: of a hitch in his throat. I can't think of it.

621
00:28:47,240 --> 00:28:48,960
Speaker 2: It reminds me of somebody, and I can't think of

622
00:28:49,000 --> 00:28:53,720
Speaker 2: who it was. It's it's hard to describe. But the

623
00:28:53,760 --> 00:28:55,720
Speaker 2: ball is up and then he kind of brings it

624
00:28:55,760 --> 00:28:57,120
Speaker 2: down and slings.

625
00:28:56,760 --> 00:29:01,200
Speaker 5: It a little bit extra motion.

626
00:29:01,600 --> 00:29:03,480
Speaker 2: Yeah, a little extra motion. They're just a little hitch

627
00:29:03,520 --> 00:29:06,360
Speaker 2: in the in the gidea up. Just one of those

628
00:29:06,360 --> 00:29:09,920
Speaker 2: things I noticed about him. Mary, uh, might just he

629
00:29:10,480 --> 00:29:11,840
Speaker 2: can sling the ball here a little bit.

630
00:29:13,840 --> 00:29:14,040
Speaker 5: Yeah.

631
00:29:14,080 --> 00:29:16,440
Speaker 2: I'm semi impressed here with with what I'm seeing this

632
00:29:16,520 --> 00:29:16,960
Speaker 2: young man.

633
00:29:18,360 --> 00:29:20,280
Speaker 5: See, it wouldn't shock me if he ends up being

634
00:29:20,400 --> 00:29:22,840
Speaker 5: kind of the talk of the town, you know. Yeah, yeah,

635
00:29:23,600 --> 00:29:25,120
Speaker 5: get gets Midge round buzzz.

636
00:29:26,040 --> 00:29:28,840
Speaker 2: Yeah if you remember that was you know, Bailey ZAPPI

637
00:29:29,080 --> 00:29:30,600
Speaker 2: came here a few years ago and that kind of

638
00:29:30,600 --> 00:29:34,520
Speaker 2: happened with him, and he was here that during the picket.

639
00:29:34,800 --> 00:29:36,160
Speaker 3: Willis and all those guys here.

640
00:29:36,360 --> 00:29:39,600
Speaker 2: Yeah, and again he's suck in the league.

641
00:29:40,600 --> 00:29:44,000
Speaker 5: Yeah, so I bet this guy throws it better.

642
00:29:44,880 --> 00:29:47,680
Speaker 4: Yeah, yeah, he has, he has more zip.

643
00:29:47,680 --> 00:29:50,560
Speaker 2: It's not it's not uh, there's not a lot of

644
00:29:51,600 --> 00:29:53,960
Speaker 2: arc on the ball he has. He has a nice arm.

645
00:29:53,960 --> 00:29:56,440
Speaker 2: So definitely worth keeping an eye on here as the

646
00:29:56,480 --> 00:29:57,120
Speaker 2: week goes on.

647
00:29:58,200 --> 00:29:59,320

00:30:13,480 --> 00:30:17,280
Speaker 3: It's a good rep there for him.

654
00:30:18,000 --> 00:30:21,600
Speaker 4: A couple of these schools, you know, Notre Dame, Wisconsin, BC.

655
00:30:21,960 --> 00:30:23,760
Speaker 4: They kind of know what you're getting in the o

656
00:30:23,880 --> 00:30:27,480

Speaker 2: that was there. There'll be a lot of that defensive

664
00:30:54,960 --> 00:30:57,440
Speaker 2: defensive side of things. We can see here what Michigan

665
00:30:57,480 --> 00:30:59,080
Speaker 2: guys are on the defensive side of the bar. That

666
00:30:59,160 --> 00:31:03,440
Speaker 2: was the offensive line. I don't see any Michigan guys here.

667
00:31:03,680 --> 00:31:06,680
Speaker 2: What are we looking at here? I don't know. Anyways,

687
00:32:04,880 --> 00:32:09,040
Speaker 2: out there now working at this little fake hand off

688
00:32:09,080 --> 00:32:13,800
Speaker 2: there and he lets one fly deep. It's broken up.

689
00:32:14,080 --> 00:32:16,440
Speaker 2: Nice adjustment there by the receiver. I couldn't tell who

690
00:32:16,440 --> 00:32:19,760
Speaker 2: that was or got his got his uniform rolled up

691
00:32:19,760 --> 00:32:21,280
Speaker 2: in the front so I can't see the number there.

692
00:32:21,320 --> 00:32:24,880
Speaker 2: But he may to jump back underneath the defensive back,

693
00:32:24,960 --> 00:32:27,520
Speaker 2: but the dB got a hand in there and broke

694
00:32:27,560 --> 00:32:29,680
Speaker 2: that one up. But a nice job there by that

695
00:32:30,320 --> 00:32:31,560
Speaker 2: with a dB there.

696
00:32:32,480 --> 00:32:34,080
Speaker 3: I can't tell. I still can't tell who that is.

697
00:32:34,160 --> 00:32:35,440
Speaker 3: But yeah, the.

698
00:32:35,560 --> 00:32:37,560
Speaker 5: Practice shops I'm pretty interested in.

699
00:32:37,960 --> 00:32:41,600
Speaker 2: Yeah he's he's an athlete.

700
00:32:40,520 --> 00:32:43,600
Speaker 5: Yeah, yeah, he's like uh.

701
00:32:45,520 --> 00:32:51,680
Speaker 2: Josh Allen lightlight I don't know, yeah, but yeah, the

702
00:32:51,680 --> 00:32:53,880
Speaker 2: the size and the the arm strength and all that

703
00:32:53,920 --> 00:32:57,920
Speaker 2: stuff looks similar that he just doesn't have the polish.

704
00:32:58,120 --> 00:33:00,400
Speaker 2: He just put that that pass rate on a little

705
00:33:00,480 --> 00:33:05,960
Speaker 2: quick post right on the receiver. So yeah, he's he's

706
00:33:05,960 --> 00:33:07,920
Speaker 2: an interesting guy to keep an eye on here this week.

707
00:33:10,840 --> 00:33:12,440
Speaker 2: I still got the one on ones going on here

708
00:33:12,440 --> 00:33:15,640
Speaker 2: at the offensive and defensive lineman here. Nice job there

709
00:33:15,680 --> 00:33:19,080
Speaker 2: by it was at fifty four, that would be uh,

710
00:33:20,320 --> 00:33:23,760
Speaker 2: I'm still learning numbers here for these guys.

711
00:33:24,280 --> 00:33:26,520
Speaker 3: That was actually sixty four. That's the Jalen Rivers out

712
00:33:26,520 --> 00:33:27,040
Speaker 3: of Miami.

713
00:33:28,080 --> 00:33:32,760
Speaker 2: Nice job riding the defensive player out of the Oh,

714
00:33:32,800 --> 00:33:34,920
Speaker 2: we got the North Dakota State kid is out at

715
00:33:35,000 --> 00:33:37,880
Speaker 2: right tackle here. Now let's see see up here, he's

716
00:33:37,920 --> 00:33:40,280
Speaker 2: a I'm sorry, he's a guard.

717
00:33:40,520 --> 00:33:43,560
Speaker 5: He's a guard. Shocked playing there. They do move the

718
00:33:43,560 --> 00:33:44,560
Speaker 5: old lineman around a lot.

719
00:33:44,720 --> 00:33:45,440
Speaker 3: Oh, yeah, you want to.

720
00:33:45,480 --> 00:33:47,840
Speaker 2: You want to get them looks at different positions there,

721
00:33:47,880 --> 00:33:50,160
Speaker 2: so the so the teams can get a chance to

722
00:33:50,160 --> 00:33:53,320
Speaker 2: see if they Oh, nice job there.

723
00:33:53,560 --> 00:33:55,280
Speaker 3: Nice job by by six.

724
00:33:56,000 --> 00:34:00,800
Speaker 2: Donovan ez Rico Za Rique from bob In College just

725
00:34:00,920 --> 00:34:02,920
Speaker 2: completely whipped this guy.

726
00:34:03,440 --> 00:34:04,000
Speaker 3: Gave him the.

727
00:34:03,920 --> 00:34:07,360
Speaker 2: Old Yeah, I mean it was. It was really quick

728
00:34:07,400 --> 00:34:09,319
Speaker 2: off the line of scrimmage. Just gave him a quick

729
00:34:09,360 --> 00:34:12,919
Speaker 2: slap and and I got to the outside and beat

730
00:34:13,000 --> 00:34:13,480
Speaker 2: him badly.

731
00:34:14,680 --> 00:34:16,840
Speaker 4: Yeah, I bet some of those tackles would be like whoa,

732
00:34:16,880 --> 00:34:18,719
Speaker 4: you know, I saw the Boston College home. I thought

733
00:34:18,719 --> 00:34:21,600
Speaker 4: I had a I'll be fine. But man, he gets

734
00:34:21,600 --> 00:34:26,160
Speaker 4: off the ball, he could have a lightning fast, lightning fast.

735
00:34:26,160 --> 00:34:29,600
Speaker 4: It looks like they're pretty much done with that thriller.

736
00:34:29,640 --> 00:34:30,640
Speaker 4: Everybody's shaking hands.

737
00:34:30,640 --> 00:34:30,839
Speaker 3: Now.

738
00:34:33,360 --> 00:34:34,759
Speaker 5: He has a really good chance. So you could end

739
00:34:34,800 --> 00:34:35,439
Speaker 5: up in Round one.

740
00:34:35,840 --> 00:34:39,800
Speaker 3: Yeah, and not the super productive yeah.

741
00:34:39,719 --> 00:34:41,720
Speaker 2: Not the small not a small guy. I mean he's

742
00:34:41,760 --> 00:34:45,239
Speaker 2: put together pretty well. No, yeah, so okay, I mean

743
00:34:45,239 --> 00:34:47,480
Speaker 2: if the Steelers were in the market for a an

744
00:34:47,480 --> 00:34:50,920
Speaker 2: outside linebacker, that would be the kind of right up there,

745
00:34:50,960 --> 00:34:53,120
Speaker 2: this would have been. This would have been a great draft

746
00:34:53,160 --> 00:34:54,960
Speaker 2: to be in that market. To be quite frank with you,

747
00:34:55,000 --> 00:34:57,560
Speaker 2: I mean, because there's a bunch of dudes in this draft.

748
00:34:58,600 --> 00:35:02,080
Speaker 2: I just don't see them needing that though.

749
00:35:03,000 --> 00:35:06,759
Speaker 4: But again, if there's this other directions to go, you know, yeah,

750
00:35:07,080 --> 00:35:10,600
Speaker 4: but there's always bypassener wide out for no.

751
00:35:10,600 --> 00:35:10,799
Speaker 5: No.

752
00:35:11,320 --> 00:35:13,560
Speaker 2: But you know, if it is a deep edge rusher

753
00:35:14,200 --> 00:35:16,920
Speaker 2: kind of draft, and I think it is, you know,

754
00:35:16,960 --> 00:35:20,719
Speaker 2: you could end up with, you know, a undrafted free

755
00:35:20,760 --> 00:35:23,240
Speaker 2: agent or something that usually would have had a draft

756
00:35:23,840 --> 00:35:26,560
Speaker 2: great on him and he ends up we bring him

757
00:35:26,560 --> 00:35:28,960
Speaker 2: in and find something. I'm not saying you're going to

758
00:35:29,000 --> 00:35:31,920
Speaker 2: find the next James Harrison, but if he's a.

759
00:35:31,840 --> 00:35:34,239
Speaker 5: Guy that can me or be a special team or right.

760
00:35:34,640 --> 00:35:36,719
Speaker 3: Yeah, so you're always looking.

761
00:35:38,600 --> 00:35:43,000
Speaker 4: Those several seventh round picks the Steelers have. I kind

762
00:35:43,000 --> 00:35:45,160
Speaker 4: of look at him like I don't even care what

763
00:35:45,200 --> 00:35:47,960
Speaker 4: position they are. You know, it's a deep tight end draft,

764
00:35:48,040 --> 00:35:51,520
Speaker 4: it's a deep running back draft, it's a deep edge draft.

765
00:35:52,080 --> 00:35:54,839
Speaker 4: Just take the best guy and see what happens. You know, Yeah,

766
00:35:54,880 --> 00:35:57,480
Speaker 4: with those picks, you can't really count on those for needs.

767
00:35:57,760 --> 00:35:59,040
Speaker 3: No, no, absolutely not.

768
00:36:00,400 --> 00:36:02,440
Speaker 2: And I know when we've done our mock drafts, we've

769
00:36:02,480 --> 00:36:06,440
Speaker 2: doubled up with some positions. You know, we doubled up

770
00:36:06,480 --> 00:36:08,600
Speaker 2: in the defensive line. We doubled up at wide receiver,

771
00:36:08,680 --> 00:36:12,000
Speaker 2: We've doubled up a cornerback. It's not the worst approach

772
00:36:12,040 --> 00:36:13,560
Speaker 2: to things. I mean, you're take kind of taking two

773
00:36:13,600 --> 00:36:14,839
Speaker 2: bites out of the apple.

774
00:36:16,000 --> 00:36:18,160
Speaker 4: And Stealers have done it over their history of fair amount.

775
00:36:18,160 --> 00:36:20,319
Speaker 4: I always think about the Packers. The Packers do that

776
00:36:20,400 --> 00:36:22,399
Speaker 4: a lot, you know, like last year they drafted three

777
00:36:22,440 --> 00:36:24,960
Speaker 4: safeties and signed the Saber McKinney.

778
00:36:25,200 --> 00:36:29,120
Speaker 5: You know, like if you got a problem. Let's solve it,

779
00:36:29,239 --> 00:36:29,400
Speaker 5: you know.

780
00:36:29,800 --> 00:36:35,400
Speaker 2: Yeah, okay, Ice, Ice baby, the problem, I'll solve it.

781
00:36:36,360 --> 00:36:37,120
Speaker 3: You got it.

782
00:36:39,480 --> 00:36:39,839
Speaker 5: All right?

783
00:36:39,880 --> 00:36:40,000
Speaker 3: Now?

784
00:36:40,040 --> 00:36:43,080
Speaker 2: We got some eleven on eleven stuff. Yeah, no, it's

785
00:36:43,120 --> 00:36:45,920
Speaker 2: not and people that's you know, wasting draftics. Well, no,

786
00:36:45,960 --> 00:36:49,240
Speaker 2: those guys all play. Look how the Packers completely remade

787
00:36:49,360 --> 00:36:52,760
Speaker 2: their wide receiver room with a bunch of young guys

788
00:36:52,800 --> 00:36:53,440
Speaker 2: like two years.

789
00:36:53,920 --> 00:36:55,480
Speaker 4: Yeah, they did it with their people have done it

790
00:36:55,480 --> 00:36:58,919
Speaker 4: a quarterback yeah, I mean like the draft RG three

791
00:36:58,960 --> 00:37:00,000
Speaker 4: of the second pick of the draft.

792
00:37:00,040 --> 00:37:01,200
Speaker 5: Then they go get cousins, you know.

793
00:37:01,239 --> 00:37:04,840
Speaker 4: I mean, I don't think it's a bad approach at all. No,

794
00:37:05,360 --> 00:37:07,399
Speaker 4: you know, if it's a backs over the years, you know.

795
00:37:08,160 --> 00:37:09,839
Speaker 2: First of all, gives you a better chance to hit.

796
00:37:10,600 --> 00:37:13,000
Speaker 2: I mean, you know what's the hit right in the draft.

797
00:37:14,080 --> 00:37:16,720
Speaker 2: If you if you hit, if you hit fifty percent, you're.

798
00:37:16,560 --> 00:37:17,360
Speaker 3: Doing really well.

799
00:37:18,400 --> 00:37:19,920
Speaker 5: And from top to bottom.

800
00:37:19,960 --> 00:37:22,880
Speaker 2: Yeah right yeah, and if you take two bites of it,

801
00:37:22,880 --> 00:37:25,160
Speaker 2: you're probably gonna hit with one of them. We got

802
00:37:25,160 --> 00:37:28,319
Speaker 2: eleven on eleven's out here now, so kind of real

803
00:37:28,360 --> 00:37:32,200
Speaker 2: football here what we got here? Oh we have a

804
00:37:32,239 --> 00:37:35,400
Speaker 2: little inside run. It's Martinez with the ball. They're not

805
00:37:35,400 --> 00:37:37,040
Speaker 2: tackling to the ground or anything like that.

806
00:37:37,120 --> 00:37:40,040
Speaker 5: But no, I'm sure he is.

807
00:37:41,000 --> 00:37:44,080
Speaker 2: I bet he yeah, big Actually I'm sorry that wasn't Martinez.

808
00:37:44,120 --> 00:37:49,879
Speaker 2: That was that was actually uh Olli Gordon the white helmet. Actually, yeah,

809
00:37:50,360 --> 00:37:51,400
Speaker 2: they're both big backs.

810
00:37:53,440 --> 00:37:57,080
Speaker 3: But yeah, he's Uh.

811
00:37:55,840 --> 00:37:57,759
Speaker 5: I'm curious how Martinez moves.

812
00:37:57,640 --> 00:38:02,840
Speaker 2: Like Ollie Gordon standing next to Dylan Gabriel. I mean,

813
00:38:02,920 --> 00:38:04,840
Speaker 2: Dylan Gabriel looks like his younger brother.

814
00:38:06,239 --> 00:38:08,759
Speaker 5: Could imagine. Yeah, Gordon's pretty ripped up.

815
00:38:09,560 --> 00:38:10,919
Speaker 3: Oh good penetration there.

816
00:38:15,040 --> 00:38:18,799
Speaker 2: Yeah, the defensive lineman there in Esples just completely blew

817
00:38:18,840 --> 00:38:19,160
Speaker 2: that up.

818
00:38:19,160 --> 00:38:20,760
Speaker 3: And he's he's an interesting dude.

819
00:38:21,880 --> 00:38:27,080
Speaker 2: Yeah, I think you know, he's six one two ninety ish.

820
00:38:27,239 --> 00:38:29,640
Speaker 2: But again I mentioned that that quick first step. I

821
00:38:29,680 --> 00:38:31,520
Speaker 2: think that came into play there because he was in

822
00:38:31,560 --> 00:38:34,040
Speaker 2: the backfield before Alli Gordon even got the handoff.

823
00:38:35,200 --> 00:38:37,000
Speaker 5: Yeah, he's a win at the snap type.

824
00:38:37,200 --> 00:38:40,880
Speaker 4: Yeah, he's for the Steelers at his size and I mean,

825
00:38:40,920 --> 00:38:43,040
Speaker 4: now if he has he doesn't look like Cam Hayward.

826
00:38:43,239 --> 00:38:45,600
Speaker 2: He's kind of playing up head up on the center here,

827
00:38:45,680 --> 00:38:48,439
Speaker 2: just off off center here, I guess warn the guard.

828
00:38:48,440 --> 00:38:51,799
Speaker 3: He's matched up on what milium there, but.

829
00:38:53,400 --> 00:38:55,920
Speaker 5: Kind of has some Elijah Canton to him, you know from.

830
00:38:55,840 --> 00:38:58,200
Speaker 2: Yeah, a little bit, a little bit, and you just

831
00:38:58,280 --> 00:39:00,560
Speaker 2: wonder if you know with that with that quick first step,

832
00:39:00,600 --> 00:39:03,319
Speaker 2: can you you know, is that what they're looking for now?

833
00:39:03,440 --> 00:39:05,960
Speaker 3: I mean they like that with Hargrave. Can he hold

834
00:39:06,000 --> 00:39:06,760
Speaker 3: the point of attack?

835
00:39:08,480 --> 00:39:11,440
Speaker 5: You know, I don't know that their style.

836
00:39:11,880 --> 00:39:12,839
Speaker 3: Yeah, I don't know that he.

837
00:39:12,840 --> 00:39:15,560
Speaker 2: Is either, But you know, I don't know, I don't

838
00:39:15,600 --> 00:39:18,080
Speaker 2: necessarily know what their style. I mean I didn't you know,

839
00:39:18,080 --> 00:39:20,399
Speaker 2: I didn't think that Marvin leol was necessarily their style.

840
00:39:20,440 --> 00:39:22,759
Speaker 4: I said, Leal doesn't fit the mold either, you know,

841
00:39:23,040 --> 00:39:26,279
Speaker 4: and maybe they're just accumulating the best players they can,

842
00:39:26,400 --> 00:39:28,840
Speaker 4: no matter what the type is. I mean, that's definitely

843
00:39:28,960 --> 00:39:33,279
Speaker 4: changed from the old school. Aaron Smith keyesol leboiears.

844
00:39:33,719 --> 00:39:35,040
Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, they're looking.

845
00:39:35,040 --> 00:39:36,799
Speaker 5: It was very obvious their styles then.

846
00:39:37,120 --> 00:39:42,480
Speaker 2: Looks like Darius Alexander out of out of Toledo got

847
00:39:43,280 --> 00:39:44,920
Speaker 2: got held on that play there. He had some good

848
00:39:44,960 --> 00:39:47,759
Speaker 2: penetration there. He's an interesting dude too. He's six foot four,

849
00:39:47,840 --> 00:39:51,120
Speaker 2: three hundred pounds. The mac Max got some dudes.

850
00:39:52,800 --> 00:39:54,920
Speaker 4: Yeah, I could definitely see him being in the mid

851
00:39:55,000 --> 00:39:56,200
Speaker 4: round mix with the Steelers.

852
00:39:56,520 --> 00:40:02,040
Speaker 2: Yeah, they do scout to Mac a very very heavily because.

853
00:40:01,800 --> 00:40:03,440
Speaker 5: It's the definitely connect close to home.

854
00:40:03,480 --> 00:40:05,560
Speaker 2: They have, Yeah, they have the they have the connections there,

855
00:40:05,600 --> 00:40:07,960
Speaker 2: and you start looking at the Mac prospects. In this one,

856
00:40:07,960 --> 00:40:11,640
Speaker 2: I mentioned the Balalcone h from Western Michigan, the cornerback.

857
00:40:12,239 --> 00:40:16,680
Speaker 2: You get Alexander here as well, get some guys on

858
00:40:16,719 --> 00:40:21,480
Speaker 2: the for get Fanning from Bowling Green, another one from

859
00:40:21,520 --> 00:40:27,560
Speaker 2: the from the Mac just looking here.

860
00:40:27,640 --> 00:40:31,680
Speaker 3: A couple of no acron zips. No, but uh.

861
00:40:33,360 --> 00:40:34,000
Speaker 5: Who else there was?

862
00:40:34,120 --> 00:40:36,960
Speaker 3: I thought there was another Mac guy here. Maybe I'm wrong.

863
00:40:37,560 --> 00:40:39,040
Speaker 2: That's at least three and they're all in the They're

864
00:40:39,080 --> 00:40:41,640
Speaker 2: all in the national roster here, so the Mac very

865
00:40:41,640 --> 00:40:46,040
Speaker 2: well represented. Oh the Marshall kid is also, yeah, Mike Green.

866
00:40:46,280 --> 00:40:49,640
Speaker 2: So all four, yeah, all four Mac guys on the

867
00:40:49,719 --> 00:40:53,239
Speaker 2: national roster. So it's we know which, uh which unit

868
00:40:53,280 --> 00:40:57,440
Speaker 2: that Justin Miller will be. He'll be, He'll be rooting

869
00:40:57,480 --> 00:40:59,520
Speaker 2: for the national team to win the game with all

870
00:40:59,560 --> 00:41:00,400
Speaker 2: those Mac players.

871
00:41:01,640 --> 00:41:03,600
Speaker 5: Mitchell at corner last year sold the show.

872
00:41:03,840 --> 00:41:04,399
Speaker 3: Yes he did.

873
00:41:04,440 --> 00:41:06,400
Speaker 2: I mean, and that's the thing you can't you know,

874
00:41:06,400 --> 00:41:09,440
Speaker 2: you can't discount those guys. I mean they've put I

875
00:41:09,440 --> 00:41:12,400
Speaker 2: forgot that maxim Hook from Toledo also here. So Toledo's

876
00:41:12,400 --> 00:41:14,520
Speaker 2: got a couple of guys. Theres so five MAC players

877
00:41:15,040 --> 00:41:18,759
Speaker 2: on the national roster. So it's a very well represented

878
00:41:18,800 --> 00:41:21,800
Speaker 2: the representing the Mac that national roster.

879
00:41:23,160 --> 00:41:26,200
Speaker 4: It's a great situation for those guys too, because I mean,

880
00:41:26,360 --> 00:41:29,359
Speaker 4: obviously it's not the Big Ten and they do play

881
00:41:29,400 --> 00:41:32,000
Speaker 4: some Big Ten games, but not enough. I mean, those

882
00:41:32,040 --> 00:41:33,840
Speaker 4: guys stock can really change in.

883
00:41:33,960 --> 00:41:38,920
Speaker 2: Mobile, absolutely absolutely so, Yeah, you'd like to see some

884
00:41:39,000 --> 00:41:40,960
Speaker 2: of these guys take that step up.

885
00:41:42,320 --> 00:41:43,680
Speaker 3: It'll jump off sides there.

886
00:41:44,480 --> 00:41:48,880
Speaker 2: Uh that was Ty Robinson jumping off sides there with

887
00:41:50,080 --> 00:41:52,400
Speaker 2: Taylor Elgerma at quarterback.

888
00:41:52,440 --> 00:41:54,359
Speaker 3: So he maybe hardcome of them there a little bit

889
00:41:56,120 --> 00:41:56,480
Speaker 3: they got.

890
00:41:56,520 --> 00:41:58,719
Speaker 2: They list Robinson as an edge, but they have him

891
00:41:58,719 --> 00:41:59,839
Speaker 2: playing on the interior here.

892
00:42:00,000 --> 00:42:01,000
Speaker 3: I think he can do both.

893
00:42:01,320 --> 00:42:02,359
Speaker 5: It's about to ask that.

894
00:42:02,480 --> 00:42:05,719
Speaker 4: Yeah, I mean he's kind of like the Missouri kid

895
00:42:05,800 --> 00:42:08,239
Speaker 4: Robinson at Arizona took the first round last year.

896
00:42:08,520 --> 00:42:11,800
Speaker 5: Yeah, see an edge, see an inside either.

897
00:42:11,640 --> 00:42:12,600
Speaker 3: A penetration there.

898
00:42:12,680 --> 00:42:15,319
Speaker 2: Yeah, he's quick off the line and then chase to

899
00:42:15,480 --> 00:42:16,760
Speaker 2: chase to play down from behind.

900
00:42:17,360 --> 00:42:19,200
Speaker 3: I think he drew another of a leal.

901
00:42:20,040 --> 00:42:21,839
Speaker 5: He'd kind of be a leal fit here.

902
00:42:22,360 --> 00:42:27,040
Speaker 2: You think, yeah, he's big enough that you could play him,

903
00:42:27,040 --> 00:42:29,600
Speaker 2: you can make him a defensive town. He's interesting to

904
00:42:29,640 --> 00:42:31,920
Speaker 2: me because he does have some pass rush ability. I

905
00:42:31,960 --> 00:42:35,839
Speaker 2: think he had six sacks this year for Nebraska, and uh,

906
00:42:36,000 --> 00:42:39,080
Speaker 2: you know they played him inside and out and obviously

907
00:42:39,160 --> 00:42:42,640
Speaker 2: right now the senior Bull coaches, maybe the NFL coaches

908
00:42:42,640 --> 00:42:44,520
Speaker 2: looked at looked at to say, hey, we want to

909
00:42:44,520 --> 00:42:45,680
Speaker 2: see him at defensive tackle.

910
00:42:47,000 --> 00:42:51,640
Speaker 5: Yeah, Truce, you have all I bet Yeah that's true too,

911
00:42:52,080 --> 00:42:53,799
Speaker 5: you know. So there's a babby of him.

912
00:42:54,120 --> 00:42:59,960
Speaker 3: Yeah, nice bull rush there, big rush.

913
00:43:00,200 --> 00:43:03,440
Speaker 2: Yeah, that was again ty Robinson just shoving the guard

914
00:43:03,520 --> 00:43:08,200
Speaker 2: back into the quarterback's lap. So showing some power there.

915
00:43:08,880 --> 00:43:12,440
Speaker 2: Definitely got to keep an eye on as well. Just

916
00:43:12,520 --> 00:43:14,399
Speaker 2: kind of it was the cam Heyward, just I'm gonna

917
00:43:14,440 --> 00:43:16,799
Speaker 2: take you and lock the arm and drive you back

918
00:43:16,800 --> 00:43:17,640
Speaker 2: into the quarterback.

919
00:43:18,680 --> 00:43:23,520
Speaker 5: Hm. That Uh I wish I was there. Sounds like

920
00:43:23,560 --> 00:43:24,640
Speaker 5: there's good battles going on.

921
00:43:25,000 --> 00:43:27,959
Speaker 3: Absolutely absolutely who we got here now?

922
00:43:28,280 --> 00:43:30,799
Speaker 5: Yeah, you mentioned ty Robinson. He's bigger than I thought.

923
00:43:30,840 --> 00:43:33,680
Speaker 4: He's just a shade under six ' five and two

924
00:43:33,840 --> 00:43:36,800
Speaker 4: ninety six. They do list him as an edge, but man.

925
00:43:37,120 --> 00:43:38,160
Speaker 5: Yeah, he's a big man.

926
00:43:38,320 --> 00:43:39,240
Speaker 3: He's a big dude.

927
00:43:40,000 --> 00:43:40,879
Speaker 5: He's bigger than I thought.

928
00:43:41,200 --> 00:43:45,600
Speaker 2: Yeah, we got running out of there. There, there's a

929
00:43:45,719 --> 00:43:49,440
Speaker 2: number zero coming out of there. Ali Gordon breaking through,

930
00:43:50,520 --> 00:43:54,839
Speaker 2: getting the high knees going. So yeah, he's a good

931
00:43:54,840 --> 00:43:55,359
Speaker 2: sized battle.

932
00:43:55,440 --> 00:43:58,360
Speaker 4: Those guys want to those guys want to initiate contact,

933
00:43:58,360 --> 00:44:01,879
Speaker 4: and can't you know, they have to have a little

934
00:44:01,880 --> 00:44:05,520
Speaker 4: bit of a governor. I want to run somebody right, right,

935
00:44:06,600 --> 00:44:08,600
Speaker 4: And then as the week goes on, they start thudding

936
00:44:08,680 --> 00:44:11,439
Speaker 4: up a little bit more and yeah, shouldn't, but they do.

937
00:44:11,480 --> 00:44:14,160
Speaker 2: You know, Okay, this is interesting here, elger under center.

938
00:44:15,200 --> 00:44:16,800
Speaker 2: A lot of this stuff thus far has.

939
00:44:16,680 --> 00:44:19,040
Speaker 5: Been so many these guys have never done under.

940
00:44:19,080 --> 00:44:21,000
Speaker 3: Haven't done it. That's It's the thing. He just haven't

941
00:44:21,000 --> 00:44:21,719
Speaker 3: gone under center.

942
00:44:21,719 --> 00:44:24,040
Speaker 2: That was you know when we talked about justin Fields

943
00:44:24,880 --> 00:44:27,480
Speaker 2: and the issues with the Center Exchange, that was part

944
00:44:27,480 --> 00:44:29,239
Speaker 2: of it. He just hadn't done it a lot. He

945
00:44:29,239 --> 00:44:32,040
Speaker 2: didn't do it at Ohio State. And so you know,

946
00:44:32,080 --> 00:44:33,680
Speaker 2: you have to you have to show, you know, teach

947
00:44:33,719 --> 00:44:36,920
Speaker 2: these guys how to do this well. Obviously Elgersma, we'll

948
00:44:36,960 --> 00:44:39,279
Speaker 2: see how he handles it here. But he's assume he

949
00:44:39,440 --> 00:44:42,000
Speaker 2: looks like he's done it.

950
00:44:42,000 --> 00:44:44,680
Speaker 4: It's not uncommon for a quarterback to get the mobile

951
00:44:44,719 --> 00:44:45,759
Speaker 4: and be under center for.

952
00:44:45,760 --> 00:44:48,399
Speaker 2: The first time, rolling to his right. There he threw

953
00:44:48,400 --> 00:44:51,960
Speaker 2: behind the receiver coming across the field, just threw it

954
00:44:51,960 --> 00:44:53,920
Speaker 2: behind him. So not the not the best rep there

955
00:44:53,920 --> 00:44:56,439
Speaker 2: for him on that one. But uh yeah, a little

956
00:44:56,480 --> 00:44:58,840
Speaker 2: play action everybody went left and he rolled kind of

957
00:44:58,840 --> 00:45:00,759
Speaker 2: a naked boot to his right and had somebody in

958
00:45:00,800 --> 00:45:02,600
Speaker 2: his face and had to get rid of it and

959
00:45:02,640 --> 00:45:07,520
Speaker 2: throw it behind the receiver. Not ideal, No, No, you'd

960
00:45:07,520 --> 00:45:12,080
Speaker 2: like to see him hit that pass. Let's see he

961
00:45:12,200 --> 00:45:16,319
Speaker 2: is still out there and go a little shotgun here,

962
00:45:17,040 --> 00:45:18,320
Speaker 2: got the Michigan.

963
00:45:19,960 --> 00:45:23,680
Speaker 4: Giving all the quarterbacks equal reps. Yeah, right, towards the

964
00:45:23,680 --> 00:45:25,560
Speaker 4: best prospect or any of that kind of stuff.

965
00:45:26,840 --> 00:45:29,520
Speaker 3: Let's see what this Donovan Edwards in the backfield with him.

966
00:45:29,800 --> 00:45:35,799
Speaker 2: Oh, couldn't drop it in there into the bucket for

967
00:45:36,120 --> 00:45:38,880
Speaker 2: Tess Johnson. That's a that's a tough throw for to

968
00:45:38,880 --> 00:45:41,400
Speaker 2: to try to drop one into the over the defense

969
00:45:41,440 --> 00:45:47,799
Speaker 2: to a guy who's ended up hitting the defensive back

970
00:45:47,800 --> 00:45:48,720
Speaker 2: on the shoulder pads.

971
00:45:48,760 --> 00:45:52,880
Speaker 4: But uh yeah, Johnson would have to do a lot

972
00:45:52,920 --> 00:45:54,640
Speaker 4: to make me interested in him.

973
00:45:54,680 --> 00:45:55,880
Speaker 5: For the Steeler perspective.

974
00:45:56,239 --> 00:45:58,279
Speaker 2: Yeah, he can't. He can't have a bunch of those

975
00:45:58,320 --> 00:46:04,040
Speaker 2: tiny guys. That's part of the you know, okay, under

976
00:46:04,080 --> 00:46:06,000
Speaker 2: center again here, let's see what this looks like me. Yeah,

977
00:46:06,040 --> 00:46:08,600
Speaker 2: it doesn't seem to be a problem for him at all.

978
00:46:08,840 --> 00:46:10,359
Speaker 2: Maybe not a lot of it, I don't know. Yeah,

979
00:46:10,480 --> 00:46:15,920
Speaker 2: that's Donovan Edwards as they running back there, and he's

980
00:46:17,040 --> 00:46:17,439
Speaker 2: got some.

981
00:46:17,560 --> 00:46:19,200
Speaker 4: I'm not a big fan, but I bet he does

982
00:46:19,280 --> 00:46:23,399
Speaker 4: well here because he's super high recruit. I just don't

983
00:46:23,400 --> 00:46:25,600
Speaker 4: hate to think he's a very good vision. But he's

984
00:46:25,640 --> 00:46:29,239
Speaker 4: a really athletic guy. This is a good forum for him, right,

985
00:46:29,440 --> 00:46:31,200
Speaker 4: But I don't like him on game day that much.

986
00:46:31,800 --> 00:46:32,080
Speaker 5: Yeah.

987
00:46:32,200 --> 00:46:35,920
Speaker 2: Yeah, that Michigan team, they got a bunch of guys

988
00:46:36,480 --> 00:46:38,319
Speaker 2: in this year's draft and they were disappointing.

989
00:46:38,920 --> 00:46:41,000
Speaker 3: And I don't know, I don't know, I don't know

990
00:46:41,000 --> 00:46:41,799
Speaker 3: how to judge that.

991
00:46:42,600 --> 00:46:45,200
Speaker 2: I mean, obviously they were part of a national championship

992
00:46:45,200 --> 00:46:48,319
Speaker 2: team last year, but this year not so much. But

993
00:46:48,360 --> 00:46:49,640
Speaker 2: then they can Then they come out and they beat

994
00:46:49,640 --> 00:46:50,239
Speaker 2: Ohio State.

995
00:46:51,880 --> 00:46:53,840
Speaker 4: A couple of my best buds went to Michigan and

996
00:46:53,840 --> 00:46:56,640
Speaker 4: so they're super into it, of course, and they blamed

997
00:46:56,640 --> 00:46:58,359
Speaker 4: the quarterback a lot this year.

998
00:46:58,480 --> 00:46:59,759
Speaker 3: You know, that's what leads to me.

999
00:46:59,760 --> 00:47:02,800
Speaker 2: Have That's what you don't see in this year's UH

1000
00:47:03,239 --> 00:47:05,279
Speaker 2: draft for them. You don't see one of their quarterbacks here.

1001
00:47:05,280 --> 00:47:07,200
Speaker 2: It's you know, a bunch of defensive players, a bunch

1002
00:47:07,200 --> 00:47:08,640
Speaker 2: of you know, some offensive players.

1003
00:47:09,760 --> 00:47:12,439
Speaker 5: McCarthy obviously left, you know, obviously.

1004
00:47:12,160 --> 00:47:14,680
Speaker 2: It's very defensive heavy for that group. But yeah, not

1005
00:47:14,840 --> 00:47:20,120
Speaker 2: not there. Yeah right, they got after people. All right,

1006
00:47:20,120 --> 00:47:24,160
Speaker 2: Shoff is out there now, he's okay, nice job escaping

1007
00:47:24,200 --> 00:47:26,160
Speaker 2: the pressure and getting rid of the football out to

1008
00:47:26,200 --> 00:47:27,120
Speaker 2: the to.

1009
00:47:27,120 --> 00:47:27,839
Speaker 3: The flat there.

1010
00:47:30,160 --> 00:47:30,920
Speaker 5: He moves pretty well.

1011
00:47:31,360 --> 00:47:34,239
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, he he had a lot of pressure in

1012
00:47:34,280 --> 00:47:36,240
Speaker 2: his face and he just kept giving ground, giving ground,

1013
00:47:36,239 --> 00:47:38,759
Speaker 2: giving ground, and and got the ball out for about

1014
00:47:38,760 --> 00:47:40,440
Speaker 2: an eight yard gain out to the out to the

1015
00:47:40,480 --> 00:47:44,399
Speaker 2: flat or out to the little little UH out route there.

1016
00:47:44,840 --> 00:47:47,560
Speaker 2: That was not an easy throw with with that many guys.

1017
00:47:47,840 --> 00:47:49,640
Speaker 2: The offensive line did not do a good job of

1018
00:47:50,040 --> 00:47:51,480
Speaker 2: holding forming that one.

1019
00:47:53,719 --> 00:47:56,360
Speaker 5: Old line always struggles first practice.

1020
00:47:56,719 --> 00:47:58,479
Speaker 3: Yeah yeah, I mean, they're just they're not They haven't

1021
00:47:58,480 --> 00:47:59,000
Speaker 3: worked together.

1022
00:48:00,080 --> 00:48:03,520
Speaker 4: They just work together and never played against these dudes

1023
00:48:03,600 --> 00:48:05,480
Speaker 4: and didn't scalp that. You know, they didn't spend the

1024
00:48:05,480 --> 00:48:08,120
Speaker 4: week looking at the defensive end that they're gonna block

1025
00:48:08,160 --> 00:48:08,480
Speaker 4: all week.

1026
00:48:08,560 --> 00:48:10,280
Speaker 3: No, you don't know what his tendencies are.

1027
00:48:11,280 --> 00:48:12,720
Speaker 5: No, you're going in pretty blind.

1028
00:48:12,840 --> 00:48:16,080
Speaker 2: Yeah, there's Jade and Higgins just catching that one there

1029
00:48:16,120 --> 00:48:19,359
Speaker 2: from uh from Tyler Schoff and running after.

1030
00:48:19,400 --> 00:48:20,520
Speaker 5: He's interested in.

1031
00:48:20,880 --> 00:48:21,839
Speaker 3: Yeah, big dude.

1032
00:48:22,200 --> 00:48:23,400
Speaker 5: Higgins was certainly interested.

1033
00:48:23,560 --> 00:48:30,040
Speaker 3: Yeah, big dude, and you you like that size. Let's

1034
00:48:30,040 --> 00:48:33,040
Speaker 3: see here looked like it was.

1035
00:48:33,080 --> 00:48:35,720
Speaker 4: The Stanford kid ended up bailing out right, the big receiver.

1036
00:48:36,080 --> 00:48:38,640
Speaker 3: Yeah, unfortunately, Yeah, I thought so.

1037
00:48:39,320 --> 00:48:42,040
Speaker 2: It looks like that's Baseelle Tooton in the backfield here

1038
00:48:42,200 --> 00:48:46,000
Speaker 2: and shof is under center now and he fumbled the

1039
00:48:46,000 --> 00:48:49,239
Speaker 2: football on the there you go. I mean how much

1040
00:48:49,600 --> 00:48:54,280
Speaker 2: how much was he under center it at Louisville?

1041
00:48:56,520 --> 00:48:58,080
Speaker 3: Yeah, so he was.

1042
00:48:58,520 --> 00:49:00,880
Speaker 2: He got the snap and then as he went to

1043
00:49:01,200 --> 00:49:03,280
Speaker 2: try to get to the hand off, he dropped it.

1044
00:49:03,280 --> 00:49:04,600
Speaker 3: It just probably hasn't done.

1045
00:49:04,520 --> 00:49:07,799
Speaker 4: Their footwork's all goofy, and the timing's bad and they

1046
00:49:07,840 --> 00:49:09,640
Speaker 4: just haven't done much with it all. And there's there's

1047
00:49:09,640 --> 00:49:11,800
Speaker 4: something to be said for that, you know, like, yeah,

1048
00:49:12,440 --> 00:49:14,520
Speaker 4: a real wide handoff.

1049
00:49:14,040 --> 00:49:17,160
Speaker 3: Like question, and you're working with the center you've never worked.

1050
00:49:16,880 --> 00:49:19,840
Speaker 4: With before, of course, right, they're probably like Hey, but

1051
00:49:20,000 --> 00:49:22,200
Speaker 4: let's do a couple of QB center exchanges before.

1052
00:49:22,280 --> 00:49:23,200
Speaker 3: But try it again here.

1053
00:49:23,200 --> 00:49:25,080
Speaker 2: Okay, that when he got a little play action fake

1054
00:49:25,719 --> 00:49:28,560
Speaker 2: pressure in his face again, he rolls out. Nice job there,

1055
00:49:28,640 --> 00:49:31,440
Speaker 2: he rolled to his escape to his left and kind

1056
00:49:31,440 --> 00:49:33,560
Speaker 2: of flipped the ball side arm out to the back

1057
00:49:33,600 --> 00:49:35,640
Speaker 2: and the flat for a little for a short game there,

1058
00:49:35,640 --> 00:49:38,880
Speaker 2: But a nice job escaping h pressure there right away

1059
00:49:39,000 --> 00:49:43,320
Speaker 2: on the snap. So yeah, he's got some athleticism to him.

1060
00:49:43,920 --> 00:49:46,800
Speaker 4: You mentioned how these quarterbacks haven't played with these centers,

1061
00:49:46,840 --> 00:49:49,759
Speaker 4: and that's one hundred percent true. But even compounding it,

1062
00:49:50,000 --> 00:49:52,960
Speaker 4: some of these guys are guards playing center for the person.

1063
00:49:53,000 --> 00:49:56,800
Speaker 3: Yeah, they haven't even played, right, they're not their.

1064
00:49:56,680 --> 00:49:57,760
Speaker 5: First time playing center.

1065
00:49:57,840 --> 00:50:00,920
Speaker 4: Yeah, and you know out at the quarterback for a

1066
00:50:01,000 --> 00:50:03,839
Speaker 4: quarterback center exchange and like this guard doesn't know how

1067
00:50:03,880 --> 00:50:04,280
Speaker 4: to snap.

1068
00:50:07,840 --> 00:50:09,640
Speaker 2: Yeah, well, it looks like they're going to get to

1069
00:50:09,680 --> 00:50:12,960
Speaker 2: some more kickoff stuff here. So that'll do that for

1070
00:50:13,000 --> 00:50:15,680
Speaker 2: that part of the practice there. But the good sessions

1071
00:50:15,719 --> 00:50:18,800
Speaker 2: Thereic got to see some good stuff on both sides

1072
00:50:18,800 --> 00:50:23,520
Speaker 2: of the ball there, Matt. I think that's going to

1073
00:50:23,600 --> 00:50:24,480
Speaker 2: do it for the show today.

1074
00:50:25,480 --> 00:50:28,200
Speaker 5: All right, hold on the ford for me tomorrow. I'll
