It's always It's always good. We're 5 00:00:15,040 --> 00:00:18,239 Speaker 1: turning to calendar, turning the pages on the calendar, getting 6 00:00:18,239 --> 00:00:22,799 Speaker 1: ready to uh dig into the college prospects and players 7 00:00:22,840 --> 00:00:24,840 Speaker 1: trying to do what we call a little junior tape, 8 00:00:24,840 --> 00:00:26,400 Speaker 1: even though they may not be juniors, they may be 9 00:00:27,000 --> 00:00:29,960 Speaker 1: rising juniors and sophomores taps, but beginning to look at 10 00:00:30,240 --> 00:00:33,599 Speaker 1: who is coming down the pipe while also listening and 11 00:00:33,640 --> 00:00:36,640 Speaker 1: assessing all of the buzz and stuff that we're hearing 12 00:00:36,640 --> 00:00:38,440 Speaker 1: to get these mini camps and O t a s 13 00:00:38,479 --> 00:00:40,680 Speaker 1: as they come to a close. Yeah, I thought we'd 14 00:00:40,880 --> 00:00:42,839 Speaker 1: take a little time today and talk about maybe some 15 00:00:42,880 --> 00:00:44,800 Speaker 1: of these college kids were starting to peek out a 16 00:00:44,840 --> 00:00:47,559 Speaker 1: little bit as well as I wanted to go kind 17 00:00:47,600 --> 00:00:49,880 Speaker 1: of a little bit big picture with the NFL and 18 00:00:49,880 --> 00:00:51,640 Speaker 1: and look at who we think are some of the 19 00:00:51,680 --> 00:00:54,319 Speaker 1: improved teams UM teams we think could take a big 20 00:00:54,400 --> 00:00:57,120 Speaker 1: leap in one. But before we get to those teams that, 21 00:00:57,200 --> 00:01:00,160 Speaker 1: let's let's talk about some college guys, Um, I've kind 22 00:01:00,160 --> 00:01:02,560 Speaker 1: of just dug in the first look series is just 23 00:01:02,640 --> 00:01:06,319 Speaker 1: rolling out now. So the first guy watched was was 24 00:01:06,360 --> 00:01:09,160 Speaker 1: your college? Was your college quarterback at North Carolina, Sam Howell? 25 00:01:09,160 --> 00:01:10,640 Speaker 1: So before I give you my take, what's your take 26 00:01:10,680 --> 00:01:13,760 Speaker 1: on your guy? Hey man, I really like Sam and 27 00:01:13,800 --> 00:01:16,959 Speaker 1: I likes him, uh, not only because he's the quarterback 28 00:01:16,959 --> 00:01:18,640 Speaker 1: of my team. It was a big gift for Carolina 29 00:01:18,680 --> 00:01:19,959 Speaker 1: to get him. He was the guy who was committed 30 00:01:20,000 --> 00:01:22,840 Speaker 1: to Florida State. He decides to stay in state, goes 31 00:01:22,880 --> 00:01:26,280 Speaker 1: to North Carolina, hits the ground running immediately as the 32 00:01:26,319 --> 00:01:29,960 Speaker 1: starting quarterback. UM air raid offense will feel long ago. 33 00:01:30,600 --> 00:01:33,280 Speaker 1: He's an outstanding distributor. Like when I look at him, 34 00:01:33,360 --> 00:01:36,360 Speaker 1: he is a point guard UM in an offense that 35 00:01:36,440 --> 00:01:39,160 Speaker 1: has a collection of playmakers that allow the game to 36 00:01:39,200 --> 00:01:42,040 Speaker 1: be very very easy for the quarterback. And I think 37 00:01:42,120 --> 00:01:46,600 Speaker 1: his best skills in tracer. He hits the open man um, 38 00:01:46,840 --> 00:01:49,400 Speaker 1: he doesn't lock in necessarily the one guy. He kind 39 00:01:49,400 --> 00:01:52,560 Speaker 1: of feeds multiple guys on the perimeter. And because of that, 40 00:01:52,880 --> 00:01:57,040 Speaker 1: he has made North Carolina's office very very difficult to defend. 41 00:01:57,480 --> 00:02:01,240 Speaker 1: Now and saying that as a prospect, could he succeed 42 00:02:01,520 --> 00:02:04,400 Speaker 1: in an environment where he may not have the talent 43 00:02:04,440 --> 00:02:07,120 Speaker 1: that he was surrounded by in North Carolina. I think 44 00:02:07,760 --> 00:02:09,960 Speaker 1: that would be Those would be some of the questions 45 00:02:10,000 --> 00:02:14,040 Speaker 1: that he has to answer. How good is he individually 46 00:02:14,600 --> 00:02:19,320 Speaker 1: when it comes to elevating a team versus um, is 47 00:02:19,400 --> 00:02:22,880 Speaker 1: he a guy who has exceptional managerial skills and then 48 00:02:23,000 --> 00:02:25,840 Speaker 1: dropped in the right environment, he can get that team 49 00:02:25,840 --> 00:02:29,400 Speaker 1: into a winner circle. Trying to assess his individual talent 50 00:02:30,000 --> 00:02:32,760 Speaker 1: from how he plays when he surrounded by talent will 51 00:02:32,800 --> 00:02:35,079 Speaker 1: be the challenge for all scouts this year. I think 52 00:02:35,080 --> 00:02:37,600 Speaker 1: it's a big year for him. Um. When you look 53 00:02:37,639 --> 00:02:39,520 Speaker 1: at the things that you like, you mentioned a lot 54 00:02:39,560 --> 00:02:40,880 Speaker 1: of it. But I mean, I think he's got a 55 00:02:40,960 --> 00:02:42,679 Speaker 1: really live arm. He's not the biggest guy in the 56 00:02:42,720 --> 00:02:45,520 Speaker 1: world's got that Baker Mayfield body type. Um, he's a 57 00:02:45,520 --> 00:02:48,120 Speaker 1: good athlete. He can extend play. He's not gonna be 58 00:02:48,120 --> 00:02:50,079 Speaker 1: somebody I think you're gonna use a design quarterback run 59 00:02:50,120 --> 00:02:51,880 Speaker 1: game like Trey Lancers some of these other guys we've 60 00:02:51,919 --> 00:02:54,760 Speaker 1: seen justin fields. Um, but he can take the free 61 00:02:54,800 --> 00:02:56,640 Speaker 1: yards we always talk about on his own read, can 62 00:02:56,680 --> 00:02:58,799 Speaker 1: you give me the six or seven yards? You know, 63 00:02:58,840 --> 00:03:00,440 Speaker 1: a couple of times a game. If you wanted to 64 00:03:00,480 --> 00:03:03,040 Speaker 1: do that, he could. Um. I think he throws a 65 00:03:03,040 --> 00:03:04,960 Speaker 1: beautiful deep ball and one of the better deep ball 66 00:03:05,000 --> 00:03:07,560 Speaker 1: throwers we've seen the last few years. I really like 67 00:03:07,639 --> 00:03:10,919 Speaker 1: that about him. You mentioned um, you know getting off 68 00:03:10,919 --> 00:03:12,639 Speaker 1: his first raid. You see that, You see him work 69 00:03:12,720 --> 00:03:14,480 Speaker 1: left to right. It's kind of a it's a simple 70 00:03:14,560 --> 00:03:17,640 Speaker 1: Simon offense, um that they run there. So that's gonna 71 00:03:17,639 --> 00:03:19,560 Speaker 1: be an adjustment for him going to the next level. 72 00:03:19,919 --> 00:03:21,760 Speaker 1: But I thought, you know they say like in case 73 00:03:21,760 --> 00:03:25,760 Speaker 1: of emergency, brake Glass, like in certain games, like they 74 00:03:25,840 --> 00:03:27,640 Speaker 1: just turned around. Say you know with Miami game, they 75 00:03:27,720 --> 00:03:30,239 Speaker 1: ran for six hundred yards with those two backs. I 76 00:03:30,280 --> 00:03:32,399 Speaker 1: mean it was Michael Carter and Javante Williams just took 77 00:03:32,440 --> 00:03:34,200 Speaker 1: over the game. And then you look on the outside, 78 00:03:34,200 --> 00:03:36,600 Speaker 1: always got Diamie Brown and Des Newson. Both those kids 79 00:03:36,640 --> 00:03:40,320 Speaker 1: get drafted. So those are four really good players that 80 00:03:40,560 --> 00:03:43,640 Speaker 1: now he's going to be without. So now in case 81 00:03:43,640 --> 00:03:46,680 Speaker 1: of emergency, that's him, Like there's nowhere else you can go. Like, 82 00:03:46,720 --> 00:03:48,560 Speaker 1: this is gonna be on him this year for this 83 00:03:48,600 --> 00:03:50,840 Speaker 1: Carolina football team. And I think we'll learn him a 84 00:03:50,840 --> 00:03:52,520 Speaker 1: little bit more about this kid, how how he can 85 00:03:52,560 --> 00:03:55,000 Speaker 1: handle that. Yeah, No, I think and I think his 86 00:03:55,440 --> 00:03:59,080 Speaker 1: UH I would say his evolution and college with mirror 87 00:03:59,160 --> 00:04:01,640 Speaker 1: the evolution we like to see from young quarterbacks in 88 00:04:01,680 --> 00:04:05,760 Speaker 1: the pros. Can Sam how will go from being game 89 00:04:05,800 --> 00:04:10,240 Speaker 1: manager to playmaker and and game manager? I'm not being derogatory, 90 00:04:10,320 --> 00:04:15,160 Speaker 1: but really the talent around him emerged so that he 91 00:04:15,240 --> 00:04:17,520 Speaker 1: really could just distribute a ball like a pass first 92 00:04:17,600 --> 00:04:20,520 Speaker 1: point guard. Well, this year may require him to be 93 00:04:20,600 --> 00:04:24,720 Speaker 1: a little different to UM, maybe be a little more 94 00:04:24,800 --> 00:04:28,080 Speaker 1: aggressive and assertive when it comes to picking up those 95 00:04:28,160 --> 00:04:31,560 Speaker 1: chunk plays and fitting it into tight windows because they 96 00:04:31,640 --> 00:04:34,480 Speaker 1: really need UH to move the chains. And so did 97 00:04:34,520 --> 00:04:38,280 Speaker 1: he give evaluated? Is a great opportunity to see if 98 00:04:38,320 --> 00:04:41,880 Speaker 1: he is that is he a game manager or is 99 00:04:41,920 --> 00:04:43,960 Speaker 1: he a guy that projects as a playmaker at the 100 00:04:44,000 --> 00:04:46,720 Speaker 1: next level. And I look at the schedule, the one 101 00:04:46,760 --> 00:04:51,719 Speaker 1: that I'm really looking forward to is October at Notre Dame. UM. 102 00:04:51,880 --> 00:04:54,440 Speaker 1: That's Notre Dame team that's got some good defensive players. 103 00:04:54,480 --> 00:04:56,280 Speaker 1: They've got a safety that's gonna be a first round pick. 104 00:04:56,320 --> 00:04:59,040 Speaker 1: They've got a good group. UM. And last year that 105 00:04:59,160 --> 00:05:01,840 Speaker 1: was his lowest passing orige game by the season was 106 00:05:01,839 --> 00:05:04,000 Speaker 1: against Notre Dame. They did some really good things schematically 107 00:05:04,720 --> 00:05:05,920 Speaker 1: took some things away I think I did for like 108 00:05:05,960 --> 00:05:07,400 Speaker 1: two or in eleven yard or something like that in 109 00:05:07,440 --> 00:05:10,640 Speaker 1: that game. So to go into that environment at Notre Dame, 110 00:05:10,960 --> 00:05:13,760 Speaker 1: it's a big stage for him. Um, that's what I'm 111 00:05:13,760 --> 00:05:15,160 Speaker 1: looking forward to see how not just a team, but 112 00:05:15,160 --> 00:05:17,719 Speaker 1: I want to see him specifically, how he reacts. You know, 113 00:05:17,760 --> 00:05:19,520 Speaker 1: there's a Marky game and that is a huge game. 114 00:05:19,680 --> 00:05:22,320 Speaker 1: And not only that, Notre Dame has a new defensive coordinator, 115 00:05:22,320 --> 00:05:24,640 Speaker 1: Marcus Freeman, who's one of the best in the business 116 00:05:24,640 --> 00:05:27,640 Speaker 1: coming over from Cincinnati. Um, they're gonna challenge him. They're 117 00:05:27,640 --> 00:05:30,120 Speaker 1: gonna throw a bunch of different looks and zone blitzes 118 00:05:30,160 --> 00:05:33,880 Speaker 1: and those things. And so from an evaluation standpoint, we 119 00:05:34,000 --> 00:05:36,840 Speaker 1: will get a chance to see how does he handle 120 00:05:37,279 --> 00:05:40,960 Speaker 1: pre and postnap movement and when the coverage changes and 121 00:05:40,960 --> 00:05:43,719 Speaker 1: when he's food and tricked, is he able to find 122 00:05:43,839 --> 00:05:49,360 Speaker 1: his outlet? Can he attack the threats that those defenses present. 123 00:05:49,440 --> 00:05:51,800 Speaker 1: And Notre Dame being a great one to look at 124 00:05:51,839 --> 00:05:54,640 Speaker 1: because not only are they talented, but there will coach. 125 00:05:55,040 --> 00:05:57,120 Speaker 1: This will be a great one to kind of star 126 00:05:57,880 --> 00:06:00,520 Speaker 1: by his name when we're doing the a's let's look 127 00:06:00,520 --> 00:06:01,680 Speaker 1: at the schedule of these are the games that we 128 00:06:01,720 --> 00:06:03,839 Speaker 1: want to watch because that that is a terrific test 129 00:06:04,240 --> 00:06:07,520 Speaker 1: that he will face. I know, um, I haven't had 130 00:06:07,640 --> 00:06:10,000 Speaker 1: chance to get to this player yet. He's on my list. 131 00:06:10,040 --> 00:06:12,039 Speaker 1: I am going to get to him, but I was 132 00:06:12,080 --> 00:06:14,760 Speaker 1: just curious, what have you seen from from the Oklahoma quarterback? 133 00:06:14,760 --> 00:06:17,080 Speaker 1: It seems like we have Oklahoma quarterback every other year 134 00:06:17,160 --> 00:06:18,880 Speaker 1: that's gets a lot of hype and a lot of attention. 135 00:06:18,920 --> 00:06:22,039 Speaker 1: But Spencer Rattler, what do you know about him? I mean, 136 00:06:22,240 --> 00:06:25,159 Speaker 1: the cast me out. He has been bally hood and 137 00:06:25,160 --> 00:06:28,359 Speaker 1: celebrated since he was coming out of high school in Arizona. 138 00:06:28,440 --> 00:06:31,320 Speaker 1: Having worked with him and around him at eleade eleven, 139 00:06:31,400 --> 00:06:33,600 Speaker 1: he was the m v P his his final season 140 00:06:34,080 --> 00:06:36,600 Speaker 1: um due to his talented I mean he is as 141 00:06:36,600 --> 00:06:39,280 Speaker 1: talented as they come in terms of spinning it. He 142 00:06:39,320 --> 00:06:41,599 Speaker 1: can make every throw that you want to see. He 143 00:06:41,680 --> 00:06:45,839 Speaker 1: has a level of confidence that is unshakable. He believes 144 00:06:45,880 --> 00:06:48,080 Speaker 1: when he steps on the field that look, he's the show. 145 00:06:48,400 --> 00:06:50,280 Speaker 1: Everybody came to see him and he's had a lot 146 00:06:50,320 --> 00:06:54,240 Speaker 1: of success with that. That said, he is a guy 147 00:06:54,279 --> 00:06:57,720 Speaker 1: who can get a little loose and careless with the football. 148 00:06:58,200 --> 00:07:02,039 Speaker 1: Um he's he's had eight moments at Oklahoma during his 149 00:07:02,160 --> 00:07:04,880 Speaker 1: first season as a starter, but he also has some 150 00:07:05,000 --> 00:07:08,680 Speaker 1: does and he had to overcome being pulled in the 151 00:07:08,760 --> 00:07:12,880 Speaker 1: game and going back in there. And so he's talented 152 00:07:12,880 --> 00:07:15,560 Speaker 1: and everyone is saying that this could be and might 153 00:07:15,600 --> 00:07:18,120 Speaker 1: be the number one overall pick. When it comes to 154 00:07:18,200 --> 00:07:21,720 Speaker 1: the next quarterback in line at Oklahoma, we'll see. He 155 00:07:21,840 --> 00:07:24,560 Speaker 1: is definitely talented. He has a live arm. But what 156 00:07:24,640 --> 00:07:27,760 Speaker 1: I need to see is more consistency in terms of 157 00:07:27,800 --> 00:07:30,400 Speaker 1: that consistent five star performs as opposed to some of 158 00:07:30,400 --> 00:07:32,960 Speaker 1: the ebbs and flows that we've seen from him when 159 00:07:33,000 --> 00:07:35,920 Speaker 1: he's been a starter. Listened at six one two oh five, 160 00:07:36,000 --> 00:07:37,840 Speaker 1: Buck year around him as a high school or how 161 00:07:37,880 --> 00:07:40,000 Speaker 1: how is he? How is he put together? I mean 162 00:07:40,000 --> 00:07:42,880 Speaker 1: as this you know Baker's Baky wasn't tall, Kyler wasn't tall, 163 00:07:42,880 --> 00:07:45,880 Speaker 1: but those guys were kind of wrestler bodies. You know, 164 00:07:46,000 --> 00:07:48,800 Speaker 1: He's not built like Baker and Kyler like he that 165 00:07:48,800 --> 00:07:52,040 Speaker 1: that six one six two two oh five. That's a 166 00:07:52,160 --> 00:07:55,640 Speaker 1: very accurate thing. I would say he's probably built maybe 167 00:07:55,680 --> 00:07:59,880 Speaker 1: like Zack Wilson, maybe a little thinner, uh thin lower body, 168 00:08:00,200 --> 00:08:01,720 Speaker 1: then Lex, it's gonna be a thing that we have 169 00:08:01,800 --> 00:08:05,320 Speaker 1: to talk about because the other guys what they had 170 00:08:05,640 --> 00:08:08,560 Speaker 1: when they were I guess like kind of below the 171 00:08:08,640 --> 00:08:11,320 Speaker 1: line when it came to the measurable part. They normally 172 00:08:11,360 --> 00:08:15,160 Speaker 1: have exceptional stuff elsewhere. Cala Murray was quick as a hiccup. 173 00:08:15,200 --> 00:08:17,080 Speaker 1: You can see the speed and explosion his big time 174 00:08:17,200 --> 00:08:20,240 Speaker 1: arm talent. Talk about a major league prospect, a major 175 00:08:20,280 --> 00:08:23,800 Speaker 1: league baseball player, um Baker Mayfield, I think we would 176 00:08:23,800 --> 00:08:27,080 Speaker 1: saying superpower was his accuracy and those things, like he 177 00:08:27,080 --> 00:08:29,320 Speaker 1: could fit it in the mailbox wherever he was throwing 178 00:08:29,360 --> 00:08:34,560 Speaker 1: those things. Spencer Raller doesn't have that athleticism. Um, So 179 00:08:34,679 --> 00:08:37,360 Speaker 1: this year more than other years, he has to be 180 00:08:37,520 --> 00:08:40,080 Speaker 1: on point when it comes to the way that he 181 00:08:40,120 --> 00:08:42,000 Speaker 1: delivers the ball and hits the strikes on. He gotta 182 00:08:42,000 --> 00:08:44,720 Speaker 1: paint the corners all the time because he doesn't have 183 00:08:44,800 --> 00:08:46,920 Speaker 1: the athleticism that some of these other guys have. Yeah, 184 00:08:47,080 --> 00:08:49,680 Speaker 1: it will be interesting to see, um, you know what 185 00:08:49,679 --> 00:08:52,080 Speaker 1: what he looks like going forward in this next season. 186 00:08:52,160 --> 00:08:56,240 Speaker 1: To me, UM, just just looking at other guys, you 187 00:08:56,280 --> 00:08:57,960 Speaker 1: notice some of those wild players that he does have 188 00:08:58,000 --> 00:09:00,920 Speaker 1: a live arm and the ball jumps out of his hand. Yeah, 189 00:09:00,960 --> 00:09:03,320 Speaker 1: it does jump. It jumps out of saying he he 190 00:09:03,360 --> 00:09:07,840 Speaker 1: has that. Um, I think what everyone has to be 191 00:09:07,920 --> 00:09:11,040 Speaker 1: prepared for as an NFL coach, if you're coaching him 192 00:09:11,240 --> 00:09:14,880 Speaker 1: to dial it back he wants. He's the wild player 193 00:09:15,000 --> 00:09:17,320 Speaker 1: and he's the guy that on the three owned Nune break, 194 00:09:17,320 --> 00:09:19,360 Speaker 1: he's gonna pull up for three. He's not shooting the 195 00:09:19,440 --> 00:09:21,440 Speaker 1: lit up. He's not gonna bank it off the magic square. 196 00:09:21,760 --> 00:09:24,160 Speaker 1: He's not gonna do that like he likes to flash 197 00:09:24,200 --> 00:09:28,280 Speaker 1: in the bazas, and so it will be. Um, it 198 00:09:28,320 --> 00:09:33,319 Speaker 1: will be interesting to see what he does after having 199 00:09:33,360 --> 00:09:37,439 Speaker 1: a full offseason knowing that he's the starting quarterback. Um 200 00:09:37,600 --> 00:09:40,600 Speaker 1: canny go from good to great in year two as 201 00:09:40,600 --> 00:09:43,400 Speaker 1: the starter. For thinking Riley, we always have a guy 202 00:09:43,440 --> 00:09:46,079 Speaker 1: that kind of emerges, that that uh that comes out 203 00:09:46,080 --> 00:09:48,200 Speaker 1: of left field a little bit quarterback wise. I know 204 00:09:48,240 --> 00:09:51,719 Speaker 1: that the Liberty kid the transferred from from Auburn has 205 00:09:51,720 --> 00:09:53,360 Speaker 1: got a lot of buzz right now. I'm excited to 206 00:09:53,360 --> 00:09:55,240 Speaker 1: watch him. He's gonna be in my first Look series 207 00:09:55,280 --> 00:09:57,920 Speaker 1: coming up, so I'm gonna dig in on him. People 208 00:09:57,920 --> 00:09:59,080 Speaker 1: have sent me some places. I don't know if your 209 00:09:59,080 --> 00:10:00,880 Speaker 1: buddy's gona legal in the s thing like look at 210 00:10:00,920 --> 00:10:02,520 Speaker 1: this play, look at that play, Like he's got a 211 00:10:02,600 --> 00:10:04,199 Speaker 1: chance to kind of be that kind of out of 212 00:10:04,240 --> 00:10:09,720 Speaker 1: left field wild guy a DJ like it's funny um song. 213 00:10:10,280 --> 00:10:12,640 Speaker 1: Middle of the last season, you begin to hear hey man, 214 00:10:12,880 --> 00:10:16,880 Speaker 1: liberty like liberty is running through folks, like what did 215 00:10:16,880 --> 00:10:20,640 Speaker 1: they have?

He's athletic. Um He's the 219 00:10:32,160 --> 00:10:36,199 Speaker 1: new school quarterback. And I think now every year the 220 00:10:36,280 --> 00:10:38,439 Speaker 1: draft produces one guy that you have to kind of 221 00:10:38,520 --> 00:10:40,840 Speaker 1: dog year in your notebook, like, hey, this might be 222 00:10:41,440 --> 00:10:45,040 Speaker 1: the surprise. You're on it. He's the guy because if 223 00:10:45,080 --> 00:10:49,160 Speaker 1: Trey Lance can can move up the board and do 224 00:10:49,200 --> 00:10:50,839 Speaker 1: the things that he was able to do and he's 225 00:10:50,880 --> 00:10:52,720 Speaker 1: kind of a noomally because he didn't play his last year, 226 00:10:53,960 --> 00:10:57,760 Speaker 1: Lee definitely can do that because he's explosive and explosive athlete, 227 00:10:57,800 --> 00:11:02,160 Speaker 1: big time arm um. He's a very very impressive player. Yeah, 228 00:11:02,240 --> 00:11:04,679 Speaker 1: that's gonna be one we're gonna be following here. Uh, 229 00:11:04,760 --> 00:11:07,280 Speaker 1: definitely gonna be watching what he's doing. I'm pulling it 230 00:11:07,360 --> 00:11:11,120 Speaker 1: up right now because I wanted to see, um their 231 00:11:11,200 --> 00:11:13,800 Speaker 1: schedule here, let's look the Liberty Flames because we're gonna 232 00:11:13,840 --> 00:11:15,920 Speaker 1: see which games we're gonna be looking forward to here. 233 00:11:16,400 --> 00:11:19,400 Speaker 1: Um they play Okay, there's some good ones on here. Buck. 234 00:11:19,440 --> 00:11:22,960 Speaker 1: They've got Troy the second week of the season. Uh, 235 00:11:23,000 --> 00:11:26,800 Speaker 1: they're at Syracuse, who they beat last year, a CC team. 236 00:11:27,160 --> 00:11:29,840 Speaker 1: Later on in the year, they're at Old Miss No. 237 00:11:29,840 --> 00:11:32,960 Speaker 1: November six. That will be jam packed with scouts because 238 00:11:32,960 --> 00:11:34,600 Speaker 1: they have a quarterback who you know, to a Matt 239 00:11:34,679 --> 00:11:38,320 Speaker 1: Corral who people could emerge and come out there, could 240 00:11:38,400 --> 00:11:40,640 Speaker 1: come out of the out of the pack this year. 241 00:11:40,760 --> 00:11:42,840 Speaker 1: So that's gonna be a big one November six. Put 242 00:11:42,880 --> 00:11:45,560 Speaker 1: that one on the calendar. Also, Hugh Freeze going to 243 00:11:45,640 --> 00:11:48,640 Speaker 1: Old Miss. Throw that in the mix.

Let's I understand you're coming back here. 247 00:12:01,520 --> 00:12:03,640 Speaker 1: We're hurt feelings, but I am not the one to 248 00:12:03,720 --> 00:12:07,160 Speaker 1: take this one for you. So you're coming to me. 249 00:12:07,280 --> 00:12:11,319 Speaker 1: I'm coming right back. But that court, that quarterback competition, 250 00:12:11,360 --> 00:12:16,760 Speaker 1: that quarterback shootout there, we'll see Mac mcarrel's fantastic. He 251 00:12:16,800 --> 00:12:18,679 Speaker 1: was in the lead eleven guy, right, he was an 252 00:12:18,679 --> 00:12:20,520 Speaker 1: the leader eleven guy. He's an l a kid. He 253 00:12:20,559 --> 00:12:22,679 Speaker 1: was at Oaks Christian for a while, finished up at 254 00:12:22,679 --> 00:12:26,280 Speaker 1: Long Beach. Polly Um finds his way and and and 255 00:12:26,559 --> 00:12:28,920 Speaker 1: kind of settles in. Uh didn you see him at 256 00:12:28,920 --> 00:12:32,120 Speaker 1: Old Miss And he when Lane kiff And got his 257 00:12:32,240 --> 00:12:36,280 Speaker 1: hands on him it he took off And you can 258 00:12:36,320 --> 00:12:40,600 Speaker 1: see We're sitting there looking at Elijah More. But I'm like, yeah, 259 00:12:40,640 --> 00:12:42,440 Speaker 1: you know, Elijah More is really good. But that ball 260 00:12:42,559 --> 00:12:45,280 Speaker 1: is always on them. That ball is right in the 261 00:12:45,360 --> 00:12:47,079 Speaker 1: in the window, so that that would be a great 262 00:12:47,080 --> 00:12:50,480 Speaker 1: one to watch. And I don't want to say like 263 00:12:50,760 --> 00:12:54,280 Speaker 1: every year we're seeing quarterback after quarterback after quarterback, but 264 00:12:54,360 --> 00:12:57,880 Speaker 1: there certainly are some intriguing potential options in next year's 265 00:12:57,880 --> 00:13:01,640 Speaker 1: class for those things. But the thing is, what teams 266 00:13:01,640 --> 00:13:03,160 Speaker 1: are gonna need a quarterback because I feel like we've 267 00:13:03,200 --> 00:13:04,880 Speaker 1: seen so many quarterbacks go to the the last two or 268 00:13:04,880 --> 00:13:07,760 Speaker 1: three years. Yeah, it happens, though they emerge, you know, 269 00:13:08,240 --> 00:13:12,120 Speaker 1: you guys fall off. Look up Mac correl. Last year. 270 00:13:12,120 --> 00:13:15,520 Speaker 1: You mentioned the numbers, but he completed seventies almost seventy 271 00:13:15,559 --> 00:13:20,080 Speaker 1: one of his passes, uh, twenty nine touchdowns, fourteen picks average, 272 00:13:20,080 --> 00:13:24,800 Speaker 1: and ten point two per attempt. Like those are good numbers, man, 273 00:13:25,040 --> 00:13:27,000 Speaker 1: Like really good numbers. You know, Lane is gonna have 274 00:13:27,040 --> 00:13:29,120 Speaker 1: it dialed up. And I know they lost some dudes, 275 00:13:29,160 --> 00:13:31,760 Speaker 1: but they'll they'll replace them there. They've they've got athletes 276 00:13:31,800 --> 00:13:34,599 Speaker 1: at Old Mess they always do. That might be and 277 00:13:34,840 --> 00:13:36,440 Speaker 1: I haven't. I'm gonna I need to look at him. 278 00:13:36,480 --> 00:13:39,360 Speaker 1: I need to study him. But he's he's he's draft eligible. 279 00:13:39,800 --> 00:13:41,600 Speaker 1: Um he's only listened at six, one, two or five. 280 00:13:41,640 --> 00:13:43,520 Speaker 1: Is not a big guy either, like kind of like Rattler. 281 00:13:43,920 --> 00:13:46,720 Speaker 1: But I'm telling you, man, that might be my early 282 00:13:46,760 --> 00:13:50,240 Speaker 1: pick for my Yeah, it might be my early pick 283 00:13:50,280 --> 00:13:53,040 Speaker 1: for the hey now guy like hey now, oh hey hey, 284 00:13:53,040 --> 00:13:56,400 Speaker 1: hey DJ, I wouldn't be mad at you for for 285 00:13:56,520 --> 00:14:00,239 Speaker 1: kind of staking their flag in the dirt there um 286 00:14:00,360 --> 00:14:05,040 Speaker 1: down in Oxford, Mississipi. He's really talented, man, And I 287 00:14:05,080 --> 00:14:07,760 Speaker 1: think the biggest thing for him just in terms of 288 00:14:07,800 --> 00:14:11,640 Speaker 1: like knowing the high school scene was the maturity and 289 00:14:11,800 --> 00:14:14,520 Speaker 1: you know he gets with he's growing only high schools buck. 290 00:14:14,559 --> 00:14:16,240 Speaker 1: Was he like a three high school guy or a 291 00:14:16,280 --> 00:14:19,680 Speaker 1: two high school guy. It might have been a because 292 00:14:19,680 --> 00:14:21,680 Speaker 1: here is old best the whole time. Like he was patient, 293 00:14:21,840 --> 00:14:23,720 Speaker 1: right old best. His first year, I went through the 294 00:14:23,720 --> 00:14:27,040 Speaker 1: ball sixteen times. Uh, next year you know through it 295 00:14:27,120 --> 00:14:29,520 Speaker 1: a hundred and seventy eight times. So like he he 296 00:14:29,600 --> 00:14:33,760 Speaker 1: waited his turn there, Yeah, he's waited his turn. He's 297 00:14:33,920 --> 00:14:39,360 Speaker 1: he's been very very um. I think the maturity has 298 00:14:39,400 --> 00:14:41,840 Speaker 1: really come on for him because I think he is 299 00:14:41,880 --> 00:14:44,800 Speaker 1: a very uh he bounced around like he was high 300 00:14:44,800 --> 00:14:48,400 Speaker 1: shot kid, like like most of those quarterbacks. But he 301 00:14:48,480 --> 00:14:51,640 Speaker 1: settled in and I think he's become better having known 302 00:14:51,720 --> 00:14:54,320 Speaker 1: people that have trained and worked with him and coached him. 303 00:14:54,560 --> 00:14:56,520 Speaker 1: When he was in high school. They said, a guy 304 00:14:56,680 --> 00:14:59,200 Speaker 1: understands that he understands ball. He understands ball at a 305 00:14:59,240 --> 00:15:02,360 Speaker 1: high level in terms reading coverage and and doing those things. 306 00:15:02,560 --> 00:15:05,280 Speaker 1: I think the biggest the biggest thing for him was 307 00:15:05,320 --> 00:15:10,080 Speaker 1: a connectivity, connecting with his teammates and being able to 308 00:15:10,200 --> 00:15:12,800 Speaker 1: kind of get all that together. It appears that he 309 00:15:12,880 --> 00:15:15,960 Speaker 1: has that piece figured out now. Diskuy's the limit for 310 00:15:16,040 --> 00:15:19,000 Speaker 1: him as a player because he has talent two schools 311 00:15:19,000 --> 00:15:20,680 Speaker 1: to high schools, so he he was. I mean we've 312 00:15:20,680 --> 00:15:22,400 Speaker 1: seen some of these high school quarterbacks have been like 313 00:15:22,440 --> 00:15:25,640 Speaker 1: three three different high schools, some of four different high schools. 314 00:15:25,640 --> 00:15:27,600 Speaker 1: Like this kid is too. So he was at two 315 00:15:27,640 --> 00:15:30,920 Speaker 1: powerhouses right Long Beach, A Long Beach, Polly and Oaks Christian. 316 00:15:31,000 --> 00:15:35,360 Speaker 1: So um he he was, you know, Army, all American, 317 00:15:35,400 --> 00:15:37,840 Speaker 1: all that good stuff, highly decorated, elite eleven. You saw 318 00:15:37,880 --> 00:15:41,280 Speaker 1: him up there. H He has got the credentials, he 319 00:15:41,360 --> 00:15:43,920 Speaker 1: has geners, he has the game, a lot of the 320 00:15:44,040 --> 00:15:47,160 Speaker 1: DJ Littal who was just it's just a maturity. I mean, 321 00:15:47,200 --> 00:15:49,760 Speaker 1: it happens for different people at different times. I think 322 00:15:49,760 --> 00:15:54,120 Speaker 1: he has learned and gained an appreciation for doing the work. 323 00:15:54,600 --> 00:15:58,560 Speaker 1: And once he put the work in, um, those things, 324 00:15:58,840 --> 00:16:00,560 Speaker 1: those things begin to happen. And so when you talked 325 00:16:00,560 --> 00:16:02,320 Speaker 1: about Lot of Beach folly, I think he played for 326 00:16:02,320 --> 00:16:04,680 Speaker 1: Antonio Pierce down there. He did. He did, he played 327 00:16:04,720 --> 00:16:07,240 Speaker 1: for coach Pierson. Yeah, he played for Long So he 328 00:16:07,240 --> 00:16:09,880 Speaker 1: played for Antonio Pierce and and those guys, and so 329 00:16:09,960 --> 00:16:13,920 Speaker 1: he got high level coaching. Now it's settling in, Like 330 00:16:14,360 --> 00:16:17,280 Speaker 1: I'll trust with Lane Kiffin does in terms of creating 331 00:16:17,280 --> 00:16:20,440 Speaker 1: opportunities for the quarterback. He's going to have his numbers 332 00:16:20,440 --> 00:16:21,920 Speaker 1: and we're gonna be excited to see him when he 333 00:16:21,960 --> 00:16:24,520 Speaker 1: when he does get a chance. All right, let's let's 334 00:16:24,640 --> 00:16:26,760 Speaker 1: let's switch gears here to the NFL. I just want 335 00:16:26,760 --> 00:16:28,840 Speaker 1: to go through a couple of teams. Let's let's highlight 336 00:16:28,920 --> 00:16:32,520 Speaker 1: some most improved. Um, that's always the worst award, by 337 00:16:32,560 --> 00:16:34,880 Speaker 1: the way, I remember going to a basketball camp and 338 00:16:34,960 --> 00:16:37,920 Speaker 1: getting a most Improved Camper award, and I was like, oh, 339 00:16:37,960 --> 00:16:39,840 Speaker 1: this means as I sucked the first two days, Like 340 00:16:39,880 --> 00:16:41,560 Speaker 1: I don't want this award, Like this is the worst, 341 00:16:41,840 --> 00:16:44,200 Speaker 1: Like that would be a credit that, hey, you went 342 00:16:44,280 --> 00:16:48,480 Speaker 1: from missing everything and driven that bad. I didn't that 343 00:16:48,600 --> 00:16:52,400 Speaker 1: was that bad to get the most improved award? Are 344 00:16:52,440 --> 00:16:54,600 Speaker 1: you the guy that smashes trophies in the parking lot? 345 00:16:54,640 --> 00:16:57,040 Speaker 1: True story? True story, true story. I don't know if 346 00:16:57,080 --> 00:16:58,880 Speaker 1: I ever told this one on the podcast, but there 347 00:16:58,960 --> 00:17:02,360 Speaker 1: was in high school high school baseball, we had a 348 00:17:02,440 --> 00:17:04,280 Speaker 1: kid was a really good player. Ended up he ended 349 00:17:04,320 --> 00:17:07,040 Speaker 1: up getting drafted a little bit later. But um, he 350 00:17:07,160 --> 00:17:09,560 Speaker 1: was our best guy. But the head coach kind of 351 00:17:09,560 --> 00:17:14,320 Speaker 1: had his other like you know, coaches pet like favorite players. 352 00:17:14,359 --> 00:17:17,840 Speaker 1: So he gets um, he doesn't get the m v P. 353 00:17:18,480 --> 00:17:20,640 Speaker 1: So he gets some other award, maybe it was like 354 00:17:21,640 --> 00:17:23,960 Speaker 1: best hitter or whatever. You know, he didn't get the 355 00:17:23,960 --> 00:17:26,440 Speaker 1: big award, like the big Golden Spikes award or whatever 356 00:17:26,440 --> 00:17:29,240 Speaker 1: you give it your high school player. So he had 357 00:17:29,240 --> 00:17:32,919 Speaker 1: a low rider truck, and uh so I had a 358 00:17:32,960 --> 00:17:35,080 Speaker 1: truck as well, but my one wasn't the low rider. 359 00:17:35,119 --> 00:17:38,560 Speaker 1: But we we leave the uh we leave the little ceremony, 360 00:17:38,680 --> 00:17:41,359 Speaker 1: the little banquet, and it was at the school. So 361 00:17:41,359 --> 00:17:43,960 Speaker 1: we're leaving the school. So he pulls out he and 362 00:17:44,000 --> 00:17:46,120 Speaker 1: he kind of like peels out around it. So I'm 363 00:17:46,160 --> 00:17:48,880 Speaker 1: kind of following him, like right behind him, and I'm 364 00:17:48,920 --> 00:17:51,159 Speaker 1: not kidding. So we get by, we drive by Montgomery 365 00:17:51,160 --> 00:17:52,960 Speaker 1: Middle School, which is kind of the way. You passed 366 00:17:53,000 --> 00:17:54,879 Speaker 1: that on the way home, and they had kind of 367 00:17:54,880 --> 00:17:57,280 Speaker 1: like a little park out there, and as he turned 368 00:17:57,320 --> 00:17:59,719 Speaker 1: that right turn, I just see this trophy just go 369 00:18:04,760 --> 00:18:10,080 Speaker 1: launches out of his vehicle that award. I don't think 370 00:18:10,119 --> 00:18:12,560 Speaker 1: he was happy with that. Hey, sometimes DJ, you have 371 00:18:12,640 --> 00:18:15,600 Speaker 1: to treat those awards like their home runs from the 372 00:18:15,680 --> 00:18:19,480 Speaker 1: visiting team. Throw it back. We don't want that. We 373 00:18:19,480 --> 00:18:22,159 Speaker 1: don't want a souvenir bawl throwing back. They can do 374 00:18:22,280 --> 00:18:24,640 Speaker 1: something else with it, just like you did what your 375 00:18:24,800 --> 00:18:30,040 Speaker 1: most improved. It was very was a very disrespectful baseball team. 376 00:18:30,200 --> 00:18:32,800 Speaker 1: Because I'll give you one one more story before we 377 00:18:32,800 --> 00:18:38,240 Speaker 1: switched Gears to the NFL. Uh our coaches are coaches daughter. 378 00:18:39,480 --> 00:18:41,840 Speaker 1: I think she was in high school. But she was 379 00:18:42,480 --> 00:18:45,639 Speaker 1: just the sweetest, nicest girl, you know, and and and 380 00:18:45,680 --> 00:18:48,840 Speaker 1: our team we were like a band of misfits, like 381 00:18:48,880 --> 00:18:51,680 Speaker 1: we were kind of a football school basketball school. At 382 00:18:51,720 --> 00:18:54,520 Speaker 1: that time, our baseball team was kind of a down downtime. 383 00:18:54,560 --> 00:18:56,119 Speaker 1: It was kind of the end of the season. Guys 384 00:18:56,119 --> 00:19:00,359 Speaker 1: are frustrated. And so she got on the would get 385 00:19:00,400 --> 00:19:01,920 Speaker 1: on the bus before we leave. We're gonna go play 386 00:19:01,920 --> 00:19:04,159 Speaker 1: Coronado High School. If you know San Diego, you know 387 00:19:04,240 --> 00:19:07,560 Speaker 1: Coronado Island. You go over the Cornado Bridge. Beautiful, right, 388 00:19:07,560 --> 00:19:09,440 Speaker 1: I go to mootime. Gotta go to mootime when you 389 00:19:09,520 --> 00:19:13,400 Speaker 1: do a good spot. Oh, ice cream? Okay, okay, it's 390 00:19:13,400 --> 00:19:16,760 Speaker 1: just Cornado is the best. Anyways, she gets on the 391 00:19:16,800 --> 00:19:20,760 Speaker 1: bus and she gives us she made brownies and she 392 00:19:20,840 --> 00:19:26,880 Speaker 1: had she had packed the brownies and individual little plastic things. Nice. Right, 393 00:19:26,880 --> 00:19:29,080 Speaker 1: And as you get older, you how like that took 394 00:19:29,080 --> 00:19:30,679 Speaker 1: time and effort that was a really nice thing that 395 00:19:30,760 --> 00:19:32,960 Speaker 1: she did. So she'd go and hand them all out 396 00:19:33,000 --> 00:19:34,440 Speaker 1: to all the kids on the bus and she get 397 00:19:34,480 --> 00:19:36,280 Speaker 1: off the bus. You know, she wouldn't ride with the team. 398 00:19:37,160 --> 00:19:39,679 Speaker 1: We're buck we get to the top of that bridge, 399 00:19:41,080 --> 00:19:48,960 Speaker 1: you're throwing them out, brownie the bridget Oh man, I 400 00:19:49,000 --> 00:19:51,639 Speaker 1: just imagine somebody's out there fishing down there below, and 401 00:19:51,640 --> 00:19:58,200 Speaker 1: it's pretty good, pretty good, Brownie. That's those of my 402 00:19:58,240 --> 00:20:04,960 Speaker 1: high school baseball report coaches. Daughter of everything. She probably 403 00:20:05,000 --> 00:20:13,040 Speaker 1: had handwritten everybody's number and they're probably yes, probably not nothing, 404 00:20:13,080 --> 00:20:16,439 Speaker 1: but nice. She didn't deserve that. Uh yeah, I know 405 00:20:16,720 --> 00:20:19,800 Speaker 1: it was a bunch of jerks, all right. Most improved teams? 406 00:20:20,080 --> 00:20:24,399 Speaker 1: Who stands out to you? M hmm, you know this 407 00:20:24,440 --> 00:20:26,320 Speaker 1: is this is tough because I feel like there's so 408 00:20:26,359 --> 00:20:29,520 Speaker 1: many teams that that really did a really good job. 409 00:20:29,720 --> 00:20:32,439 Speaker 1: I'm gonna say the most improved team is gonna be 410 00:20:32,480 --> 00:20:34,479 Speaker 1: one that just returns to health. And I'm gonna say 411 00:20:34,480 --> 00:20:37,320 Speaker 1: that's the forty Niners. Forty Niners will be improved just 412 00:20:37,359 --> 00:20:40,880 Speaker 1: because everybody comes back for them. When I think about 413 00:20:41,000 --> 00:20:42,880 Speaker 1: their defense, and this is a team that has been 414 00:20:42,960 --> 00:20:46,800 Speaker 1: around the defense, and those things also coming back really 415 00:20:46,800 --> 00:20:48,800 Speaker 1: helps them because the past for us. You think about 416 00:20:48,880 --> 00:20:54,119 Speaker 1: he and Eric Armstead, whatever happens with um d Ford, 417 00:20:54,160 --> 00:20:57,439 Speaker 1: whether he stays not. If they get their their crew back, like, 418 00:20:57,480 --> 00:20:59,960 Speaker 1: they're gonna be dominant. And then on the perimeter, just 419 00:21:00,040 --> 00:21:03,760 Speaker 1: think about how many games they lost without people. George 420 00:21:03,800 --> 00:21:06,480 Speaker 1: Kitto was in and out, Deebo Samuels was in and out. 421 00:21:06,840 --> 00:21:09,360 Speaker 1: I mean, the running back rotation has been a bit 422 00:21:09,359 --> 00:21:12,280 Speaker 1: of a mix and Jimmy Garoppolo. They will be a 423 00:21:12,920 --> 00:21:16,800 Speaker 1: viable contender just by having a return to health. And 424 00:21:17,040 --> 00:21:18,840 Speaker 1: if they do decide to throw Trade Lands out there, 425 00:21:18,840 --> 00:21:20,560 Speaker 1: I think he has a dimension to the offense too. 426 00:21:21,600 --> 00:21:23,040 Speaker 1: All Right, I'm gonna give you my first one. And 427 00:21:23,320 --> 00:21:25,480 Speaker 1: maybe I don't think anybody talks about this team a 428 00:21:25,480 --> 00:21:27,920 Speaker 1: little bit off the radar. Uh. Last year the Denver 429 00:21:27,960 --> 00:21:30,800 Speaker 1: brownclos were five and eleven. That's not a five and 430 00:21:30,840 --> 00:21:33,320 Speaker 1: eleven roster. I know the quarterback thing, and they've got 431 00:21:33,320 --> 00:21:35,280 Speaker 1: to get Drew Lock playing. They've got some insurance now 432 00:21:35,280 --> 00:21:37,880 Speaker 1: with Teddy Bridgewater. But when I look at that team, 433 00:21:37,880 --> 00:21:40,960 Speaker 1: I look at the defensive personnel with Vic Fangio coordinating, 434 00:21:40,960 --> 00:21:43,080 Speaker 1: and I look at Courtland Sutton coming back on offense. 435 00:21:43,119 --> 00:21:45,719 Speaker 1: I look at drafting Javonte Williams to plug in at 436 00:21:45,760 --> 00:21:48,480 Speaker 1: running back. The offensive line with Mike Munchak, I think 437 00:21:48,560 --> 00:21:51,280 Speaker 1: is a really solid group. It's much improved over the 438 00:21:51,320 --> 00:21:53,960 Speaker 1: last couple of years. Garrett Bowlch just got paid. Um, 439 00:21:54,000 --> 00:21:56,640 Speaker 1: they're better there. I mean they've got two tight ends 440 00:21:56,640 --> 00:21:59,760 Speaker 1: that run four four. Uh you know they bring in 441 00:22:00,160 --> 00:22:01,920 Speaker 1: uh gosh, who did they just bring it? They brought 442 00:22:01,960 --> 00:22:05,040 Speaker 1: in Fuller the corner, who's a good player. Yeah, Simmons 443 00:22:05,040 --> 00:22:07,320 Speaker 1: is one of the best safeties in all of football. 444 00:22:07,880 --> 00:22:10,280 Speaker 1: Cream Jackson is a great tackling safety, is a really 445 00:22:10,280 --> 00:22:12,760 Speaker 1: good force. But like, that's a good football team. Bradley 446 00:22:12,840 --> 00:22:14,879 Speaker 1: Chubb and you hope that Von Miller comes back to 447 00:22:14,880 --> 00:22:17,000 Speaker 1: be what he was. Like, it's a lot of dudes 448 00:22:17,080 --> 00:22:20,640 Speaker 1: up there, a lot of a lot of dudes. Like literally, 449 00:22:20,720 --> 00:22:24,440 Speaker 1: it is about the right quarterback taking care of the football. 450 00:22:24,920 --> 00:22:26,800 Speaker 1: They take care of the football, they're gonna win games now. 451 00:22:26,840 --> 00:22:31,040 Speaker 1: I think that division is tough. Um, Kansas City, the Chargers, 452 00:22:31,359 --> 00:22:34,600 Speaker 1: the Raiders. I mean it it's tough sledding, but that 453 00:22:34,880 --> 00:22:37,520 Speaker 1: roster is certainly good enough where they can make some noise. 454 00:22:37,800 --> 00:22:39,960 Speaker 1: I also like the fact they rebuilt their and their 455 00:22:40,000 --> 00:22:44,560 Speaker 1: secondary more depth and talent and player drafted Patrick Sir 456 00:22:44,600 --> 00:22:47,000 Speaker 1: Tan as well throw him in the mix. Yeah, Like 457 00:22:48,440 --> 00:22:51,640 Speaker 1: they are a talented team. But um, it comes out 458 00:22:51,680 --> 00:22:53,280 Speaker 1: to quarterback play and we talked about it being the 459 00:22:53,280 --> 00:22:55,920 Speaker 1: most important position. So whether it's Steady Bridge water Drew locked, 460 00:22:56,480 --> 00:22:59,360 Speaker 1: they have to get better played from the QB one spot. Man. 461 00:22:59,359 --> 00:23:00,840 Speaker 1: They are a track team, the one when you when 462 00:23:00,840 --> 00:23:04,600 Speaker 1: you go Jerry Judy kJ Hamler, get Courtland Sutton back 463 00:23:04,640 --> 00:23:06,199 Speaker 1: and then you have those two tight ends that I 464 00:23:06,240 --> 00:23:09,040 Speaker 1: referenced with no offense Albert oh both four four guys 465 00:23:09,080 --> 00:23:11,680 Speaker 1: Like that's it's a lot lots a lot to defend 466 00:23:13,160 --> 00:23:17,160 Speaker 1: a lot, I mean really a lot to defend. They 467 00:23:17,200 --> 00:23:20,240 Speaker 1: can really test you in a bunch of different ways. Uh, 468 00:23:20,800 --> 00:23:24,679 Speaker 1: with their personnel. It it'll be interesting to see what 469 00:23:24,800 --> 00:23:27,239 Speaker 1: it looks like when when they when they get it, 470 00:23:27,960 --> 00:23:30,359 Speaker 1: when they get it all together. I think they definitely 471 00:23:30,720 --> 00:23:33,600 Speaker 1: one of the more most improved teams. Let's go a 472 00:23:33,640 --> 00:23:35,960 Speaker 1: couple more piece here. Who's your next team you like 473 00:23:36,080 --> 00:23:38,679 Speaker 1: most improved? I mean it's it's hard to call the 474 00:23:38,720 --> 00:23:43,360 Speaker 1: Evil Empire, uh most but the New England Pages will 475 00:23:43,400 --> 00:23:47,879 Speaker 1: be a vastly different team. This year, the additions that 476 00:23:47,920 --> 00:23:51,320 Speaker 1: they made to their defense. You don coming over cal 477 00:23:51,440 --> 00:23:55,800 Speaker 1: Van nooid coming back, UM meals coming in at safety, 478 00:23:56,359 --> 00:24:00,080 Speaker 1: they're better than offensively Jono Smith and Hunter hand we 479 00:24:00,119 --> 00:24:03,040 Speaker 1: are are are going to be a problem when they 480 00:24:03,080 --> 00:24:05,320 Speaker 1: line up in their twelve personnel package and they do 481 00:24:05,400 --> 00:24:08,800 Speaker 1: all the silly stuff that they do empty personnel, why 482 00:24:08,960 --> 00:24:11,600 Speaker 1: outside of Z two tight ends out wide and all 483 00:24:11,640 --> 00:24:14,520 Speaker 1: that other stuff that they can do. And then their 484 00:24:14,560 --> 00:24:17,960 Speaker 1: ability to also play power football because remember Trent Brown 485 00:24:18,040 --> 00:24:21,399 Speaker 1: comes back. They've been able to solidify that offensive line 486 00:24:21,960 --> 00:24:23,920 Speaker 1: regardless of who is that quarterback, and I would expect 487 00:24:24,000 --> 00:24:27,440 Speaker 1: Cam Newton at least start the season at quarterback. They 488 00:24:27,440 --> 00:24:31,000 Speaker 1: are going to be able to play the old school 489 00:24:31,000 --> 00:24:34,280 Speaker 1: way that they have played and give people problems. If 490 00:24:34,280 --> 00:24:37,280 Speaker 1: their defense can't hold up and carry the water early, 491 00:24:37,760 --> 00:24:40,959 Speaker 1: the patients are gonna be right back in the conversation, UM, 492 00:24:40,960 --> 00:24:45,240 Speaker 1: sitting right behind the Buffalo Bills trying to win a division. Yeah. No, 493 00:24:45,480 --> 00:24:47,560 Speaker 1: I I agree with the seven and nine team. Last 494 00:24:47,640 --> 00:24:50,720 Speaker 1: year they can now they could very easily win twelve games. 495 00:24:50,840 --> 00:24:54,200 Speaker 1: Uh this upcoming season, I'm gonna go to the Dallas Cowboys. 496 00:24:54,240 --> 00:24:56,159 Speaker 1: I mean, this is not rocket science. Right, you keep 497 00:24:56,160 --> 00:25:00,000 Speaker 1: your quarterback healthy, keep your quarterback healthy. Their offense gonna 498 00:25:00,000 --> 00:25:02,920 Speaker 1: score a boatload of points. And then defensively, I think 499 00:25:02,960 --> 00:25:04,919 Speaker 1: back to last year, Remember when we were questioning the 500 00:25:04,920 --> 00:25:07,919 Speaker 1: effort with them in the season last year, how bad 501 00:25:08,000 --> 00:25:10,680 Speaker 1: it was, and it got better, but I don't think 502 00:25:10,720 --> 00:25:13,600 Speaker 1: it still. Yeah, it won't be anting No, And I 503 00:25:13,640 --> 00:25:15,639 Speaker 1: think they've gotten They've added a lot of youth and 504 00:25:15,680 --> 00:25:17,879 Speaker 1: a lot of speed to that defense for dan Quinn 505 00:25:18,160 --> 00:25:21,040 Speaker 1: to get his hands on these guys that I think 506 00:25:21,040 --> 00:25:23,120 Speaker 1: they're going to be better defensive and I'm a choice 507 00:25:23,160 --> 00:25:25,000 Speaker 1: but to be better, and I think just just the youth, 508 00:25:25,119 --> 00:25:27,800 Speaker 1: to speed, the energy on defense. And then you add 509 00:25:27,800 --> 00:25:31,840 Speaker 1: to that Dak Prescott hopefully running out there for seventeen games. Um, 510 00:25:31,880 --> 00:25:34,439 Speaker 1: I don't see how this team doesn't, you know, post 511 00:25:34,480 --> 00:25:36,639 Speaker 1: a double digit win season. There's just too much talent. 512 00:25:36,680 --> 00:25:38,800 Speaker 1: There have seventeen games, they're gonna win at least ten games. 513 00:25:38,800 --> 00:25:41,680 Speaker 1: They won six last year during when at least ten games, 514 00:25:41,680 --> 00:25:45,240 Speaker 1: and Dak Prescott owns teams in that division like he 515 00:25:45,280 --> 00:25:49,360 Speaker 1: does really really well against the Jihason New Washington football team. Um, 516 00:25:49,480 --> 00:25:54,640 Speaker 1: I do believe Michael Gallot talked about this offense being unstoppable, unstoppable, 517 00:25:55,000 --> 00:25:57,320 Speaker 1: there's some truth to that. Like it's is arrogant and 518 00:25:57,400 --> 00:25:59,080 Speaker 1: bold for him to say it, but there's some truth 519 00:25:59,119 --> 00:26:02,159 Speaker 1: to that. When you look at them on paper, that 520 00:26:02,359 --> 00:26:04,720 Speaker 1: offense is a top five offense with the potential to 521 00:26:04,760 --> 00:26:08,840 Speaker 1: be a thirty plus point per game offense because they 522 00:26:08,840 --> 00:26:11,359 Speaker 1: can light it up. And I don't expect Dak Prescott 523 00:26:11,440 --> 00:26:12,760 Speaker 1: to have to throw it like he had to throw 524 00:26:12,800 --> 00:26:16,480 Speaker 1: it last year, but I mean the potential is there, 525 00:26:16,560 --> 00:26:20,879 Speaker 1: and if Zeke can get back just in shape, I 526 00:26:20,920 --> 00:26:22,920 Speaker 1: don't expect him to be like a top five but 527 00:26:22,960 --> 00:26:25,720 Speaker 1: if he can just report in shape like he has, 528 00:26:25,760 --> 00:26:29,199 Speaker 1: and when you look at the social media stuff, they 529 00:26:29,200 --> 00:26:32,440 Speaker 1: could be a problem. All right. Last one, I want 530 00:26:32,440 --> 00:26:34,080 Speaker 1: to hit you the question on here, as we've been 531 00:26:34,160 --> 00:26:36,080 Speaker 1: kind of discussing these improved each threw out a couple 532 00:26:36,080 --> 00:26:38,320 Speaker 1: of teams. You do your work with the Jags, buck 533 00:26:38,760 --> 00:26:40,359 Speaker 1: how many? I mean, if I if I got to 534 00:26:40,400 --> 00:26:43,960 Speaker 1: pin you down right now, way early one in fifteen 535 00:26:43,960 --> 00:26:46,840 Speaker 1: football team last year, I mean, they have no choice 536 00:26:46,840 --> 00:26:51,360 Speaker 1: but to proof. But what's reasonable expectation wise? I would 537 00:26:51,359 --> 00:26:53,600 Speaker 1: say I think they can get the seven wins. I 538 00:26:53,600 --> 00:26:59,760 Speaker 1: think seven a pretty reasonable expectation. Uh, you got a 539 00:26:59,760 --> 00:27:03,159 Speaker 1: couple games against the Houston Texans within the division. For 540 00:27:03,240 --> 00:27:06,320 Speaker 1: whatever reason, Man, they always played well against the Tennessee Titans. 541 00:27:06,680 --> 00:27:08,400 Speaker 1: I don't know why. And if I mean, they played 542 00:27:08,400 --> 00:27:09,919 Speaker 1: well against those teams in the division, So I think 543 00:27:09,960 --> 00:27:12,800 Speaker 1: they can steal some wins there. Irban Meyer, the one 544 00:27:12,840 --> 00:27:15,560 Speaker 1: thing that he has done is he's got them all 545 00:27:15,600 --> 00:27:18,640 Speaker 1: going in the right direction. They practice hard. Um, they're 546 00:27:18,640 --> 00:27:20,640 Speaker 1: doing those things. And I know right now when the 547 00:27:20,760 --> 00:27:24,000 Speaker 1: height bunny season where you get excited about all those 548 00:27:24,480 --> 00:27:27,240 Speaker 1: but DJ, they lost a ton of like they're one fifty, 549 00:27:27,320 --> 00:27:29,800 Speaker 1: but they lost a bunch of games where they're right there. 550 00:27:29,880 --> 00:27:32,639 Speaker 1: And I'm talking about a team that wasn't very talented. 551 00:27:33,119 --> 00:27:37,040 Speaker 1: So now you add some talent um, upgrade the coaching 552 00:27:37,080 --> 00:27:39,760 Speaker 1: a little bit in terms of the confidence and the organization. 553 00:27:40,280 --> 00:27:42,560 Speaker 1: I think that gives you a chance to win seven 554 00:27:42,600 --> 00:27:44,520 Speaker 1: games there. Now I'm all screwed up because this is 555 00:27:44,600 --> 00:27:47,920 Speaker 1: seventeen game schedule. I know, it's weird, all weirded out. 556 00:27:47,960 --> 00:27:50,920 Speaker 1: So what would normally be a seven and nine season 557 00:27:51,040 --> 00:27:53,919 Speaker 1: or six and ten seasons now seven and ten. I 558 00:27:53,920 --> 00:27:55,600 Speaker 1: think they can get to seven and ten and show 559 00:27:55,680 --> 00:27:58,639 Speaker 1: some improvement. Ye, there you go. But look, there's a 560 00:27:58,640 --> 00:28:01,240 Speaker 1: lot of these teams hoping they're improved. Um, but they're 561 00:28:01,280 --> 00:28:02,560 Speaker 1: also as a side of it, that some of these 562 00:28:02,560 --> 00:28:05,160 Speaker 1: teams aren't gonna be improved. So we'll see, we'll see 563 00:28:05,160 --> 00:28:08,440 Speaker 1: how it all shakes up. They can't all get better. Uh. Anyways, 564 00:28:08,880 --> 00:28:10,480 Speaker 1: this is a fun It was a quick one today, man, 565 00:28:10,520 --> 00:28:12,040 Speaker 1: but I'm glad we got a chance to catch up. 566 00:28:12,040 --> 00:28:13,960 Speaker 1: I'm glad you got to hear my story about brownies 567 00:28:14,000 --> 00:28:17,040 Speaker 1: and and trophies flying. I don't know, I don't know 568 00:28:17,040 --> 00:28:18,560 Speaker 1: if I want to coach it to y'all. You have 569 00:28:18,640 --> 00:28:23,600 Speaker 1: some unruly guys. It's not cool, man, just not cool. Um. Oh, 570 00:28:23,640 --> 00:28:25,720 Speaker 1: I'll give you one bonus, one bonus for that one 571 00:28:25,960 --> 00:28:27,680 Speaker 1: last baseball story, and I'll leave you with this one. 572 00:28:28,320 --> 00:28:31,840 Speaker 1: So we are. My senior year, I did not I 573 00:28:31,920 --> 00:28:34,560 Speaker 1: wasn't gonna play baseball, so I didn't just gonna get 574 00:28:34,600 --> 00:28:36,720 Speaker 1: ready for, you know, to head off to northeast Louisiana 575 00:28:36,760 --> 00:28:38,880 Speaker 1: for football, so I'm not gonna play. And then the 576 00:28:39,040 --> 00:28:40,400 Speaker 1: guys and team kept trying to talk to me to 577 00:28:40,400 --> 00:28:42,280 Speaker 1: come out because we had a good team my senior year. 578 00:28:42,320 --> 00:28:43,800 Speaker 1: So it was it was a much better team. We 579 00:28:43,920 --> 00:28:47,000 Speaker 1: lost in the City City Finals, City Championship, but they 580 00:28:47,560 --> 00:28:49,560 Speaker 1: so they like, you gotta come out, you gotta come out, 581 00:28:49,600 --> 00:28:51,720 Speaker 1: like I don't want to anyways. At the end of 582 00:28:51,760 --> 00:28:53,960 Speaker 1: the year, I'm like, what the heck. There's there's literally 583 00:28:54,000 --> 00:28:57,120 Speaker 1: like three games left in the season and then the playoffs. 584 00:28:58,040 --> 00:29:00,080 Speaker 1: So I'm like, fine, I'll come back. And obviously in 585 00:29:00,120 --> 00:29:02,000 Speaker 1: here thinking like what are they're gonna use me as 586 00:29:02,000 --> 00:29:05,160 Speaker 1: a pinch runner, Like I'm gonna you know, you can't 587 00:29:05,160 --> 00:29:06,640 Speaker 1: put me on the field, Like are you gonna take 588 00:29:06,680 --> 00:29:09,200 Speaker 1: somebody off? I haven't been there the whole season. So 589 00:29:09,240 --> 00:29:11,360 Speaker 1: I come out there and the coach it's like and 590 00:29:11,400 --> 00:29:13,320 Speaker 1: we were and we were like right there, like going 591 00:29:13,360 --> 00:29:16,960 Speaker 1: to the playoffs, a good team. But he get there 592 00:29:17,000 --> 00:29:20,600 Speaker 1: the first first day and he goes, I had been 593 00:29:20,640 --> 00:29:22,560 Speaker 1: the batting I had to batting practice like the day before, 594 00:29:22,600 --> 00:29:24,680 Speaker 1: like practice, hit the ball pretty good. So he come 595 00:29:24,720 --> 00:29:26,600 Speaker 1: out there the next day. I'm not I'm sure I'm 596 00:29:26,640 --> 00:29:30,000 Speaker 1: not gonna play. He goes, well, guys, I've decided today's 597 00:29:30,040 --> 00:29:33,560 Speaker 1: senior day, so all the seniors are gonna be starting. Jeremiah, 598 00:29:33,560 --> 00:29:35,760 Speaker 1: you're out there and you're in the center field, uh, 599 00:29:35,920 --> 00:29:39,560 Speaker 1: you're you're ready? Guy was the poor ring I don't 600 00:29:39,560 --> 00:29:41,400 Speaker 1: even remember who was. He was like a sophomore kid, 601 00:29:41,760 --> 00:29:45,920 Speaker 1: but he's like, what like this kid, you're gonna start that. 602 00:29:46,160 --> 00:29:47,880 Speaker 1: I went out there and started. I started every I started, 603 00:29:47,880 --> 00:29:49,640 Speaker 1: the last three games, started the playoffs, off we went. 604 00:29:50,640 --> 00:29:52,760 Speaker 1: You ruined the chemistry of the team that want to throwing. 605 00:29:52,880 --> 00:29:54,840 Speaker 1: So I took us to the city championship. What are 606 00:29:54,880 --> 00:29:59,200 Speaker 1: you talking about? I didn't ruin anything by the coach though. 607 00:29:59,240 --> 00:30:02,680 Speaker 1: The gutsy movie, I gotta think of someone. How do 608 00:30:02,720 --> 00:30:05,280 Speaker 1: I justify getting this guy out there? Was funny, you 609 00:30:05,680 --> 00:30:08,360 Speaker 1: like those old vistas that out all of training camp 610 00:30:08,360 --> 00:30:10,120 Speaker 1: and you're like, Okay, I'm ready, you're playing. I'm ready. 611 00:30:10,400 --> 00:30:13,160 Speaker 1: I really was. And and and the local reporters, the 612 00:30:13,400 --> 00:30:16,440 Speaker 1: local reporters loved me from football, right, so they had 613 00:30:16,640 --> 00:30:19,080 Speaker 1: been around me for years of football. And they those guys, 614 00:30:19,160 --> 00:30:21,000 Speaker 1: the same guys that are high school, right, they're doing 615 00:30:21,000 --> 00:30:24,480 Speaker 1: the baseball games. So the baseball guys would get frustrated 616 00:30:24,480 --> 00:30:29,120 Speaker 1: because I could go one for five, hit a solo 617 00:30:29,240 --> 00:30:32,040 Speaker 1: shot in the sixth inning, right, and we could you know, 618 00:30:32,120 --> 00:30:35,320 Speaker 1: we could win thirteen to one, and the headline would 619 00:30:35,320 --> 00:30:38,680 Speaker 1: be Jeremiah leeds Patriots to to win, and the guys like, really, 620 00:30:38,680 --> 00:30:41,400 Speaker 1: I went like I went three for four, like when 621 00:30:41,440 --> 00:30:44,320 Speaker 1: the game was still mattered. Yea. The local reporter was 622 00:30:44,320 --> 00:30:48,360 Speaker 1: my guy. He was my guy. They get all the benefits, 623 00:30:48,480 --> 00:30:51,360 Speaker 1: all the spoilers. Yeah it was. It was a spoiled kid, 624 00:30:51,400 --> 00:30:54,080 Speaker 1: it was a spoiled athlete. There's a young and uh 625 00:30:54,240 --> 00:30:56,160 Speaker 1: not anymore. And I've been humbled. I've been humbled in 626 00:30:56,200 --> 00:30:57,880 Speaker 1: a big way. I can't even play basketball out tearing 627 00:30:57,880 --> 00:31:01,760 Speaker 1: my achilles. Uh, I can't believe you're even out there 628 00:31:02,080 --> 00:31:05,400 Speaker 1: thinking about doing it. No, no, anyways, we went way 629 00:31:05,480 --> 00:31:08,120 Speaker 1: off track today, but it was good. It was fun 630 00:31:08,160 --> 00:31:10,560 Speaker 1: catching up, all right. Appreciate you guys hanging with us. 631 00:31:10,560 --> 00:31:12,640 Speaker 1: We'll have more football for you next time. I promise. 632 00:31:12,920 --> 00:31:15,320 Speaker 1: He's Lucky Brook. I'm Danuel Jeremiah. See next time. Right here, 633 00:31:15,360 --> 00:31:16,080 Speaker 1: I'll move the sticks
