Speaker 1: we are she would have seen some football, so it's

9
00:00:28,840 --> 00:00:31,760
Speaker 1: a happy time. Yeah, We've got a plenty of topics

10
00:00:31,800 --> 00:00:34,320
Speaker 1: to cover here today. We're gonna talk about those Bears

11
00:00:34,720 --> 00:00:36,960
Speaker 1: and Ravens in the Hall of Fame game preview here.

12
00:00:36,960 --> 00:00:39,160
Speaker 1: A little bit later on in the show, we're gonna

13
00:00:39,159 --> 00:00:42,520
Speaker 1: talk about Pat Mahomes buck some maybe not as much

14
00:00:42,520 --> 00:00:45,280
Speaker 1: flattering news coming out of Chief's camp as we anticipated

15
00:00:45,280 --> 00:00:47,680
Speaker 1: with all the offseason Hype will touch on that as well.

16
00:00:48,000 --> 00:00:49,559
Speaker 1: What else are we talking about today? But we've got

17
00:00:49,600 --> 00:00:51,599
Speaker 1: several other topics we gotta touch well. We canna talk

18
00:00:51,600 --> 00:00:54,280
Speaker 1: about some of the rookie Sam Donald finally signing his deal,

19
00:00:54,400 --> 00:00:57,320
Speaker 1: Roquan Smith holding out. We're also going to talk about

20
00:00:57,320 --> 00:01:00,480
Speaker 1: Earl Thomas and then playing on to tweet that you

21
00:01:00,840 --> 00:01:02,600
Speaker 1: sent out about Reggie Bush. We can talk about some

22
00:01:02,640 --> 00:01:05,839
Speaker 1: of the highest guys that we've ever graded, no question,

23
00:01:05,840 --> 00:01:07,560
Speaker 1: a lot of a lot of uh, a lot of

24
00:01:07,560 --> 00:01:09,120
Speaker 1: ground to cover. They're gonna have some fun. We talk

25
00:01:09,160 --> 00:01:11,119
Speaker 1: about the best players that we've ever evaluate in terms

26
00:01:11,160 --> 00:01:13,399
Speaker 1: of their college grade in honor of Hall of Fame

27
00:01:13,400 --> 00:01:15,360
Speaker 1: weekend here. But I think we start things off here

28
00:01:15,360 --> 00:01:17,760
Speaker 1: with a couple of rookies. Just a week ago, we

29
00:01:17,800 --> 00:01:20,119
Speaker 1: had two rookies left to be signed, and now there's

30
00:01:20,160 --> 00:01:23,360
Speaker 1: only one because Sam Donald ainked that four year, thirty

31
00:01:23,360 --> 00:01:25,840
Speaker 1: million dollar deal with the Jets. Sounds like there was

32
00:01:25,840 --> 00:01:28,319
Speaker 1: some haggling over language. They were able to work it out.

33
00:01:28,360 --> 00:01:30,240
Speaker 1: And now Sam Donalds already got a couple of practice

34
00:01:30,280 --> 00:01:32,520
Speaker 1: under his belt. Hey, look at some point we knew

35
00:01:32,520 --> 00:01:35,160
Speaker 1: he was gonna come to camp. The language in these deals,

36
00:01:35,200 --> 00:01:38,000
Speaker 1: people are really trying to haggle and figure out what

37
00:01:38,040 --> 00:01:41,600
Speaker 1: to do with forfeit your language, offset language and the like.

38
00:01:41,920 --> 00:01:44,520
Speaker 1: Sam donald finally signs his deal, didn't miss a lot

39
00:01:44,520 --> 00:01:46,679
Speaker 1: of practice. He'll step back in. He'll jump right back

40
00:01:46,680 --> 00:01:48,840
Speaker 1: into this race and we will see if he can

41
00:01:48,840 --> 00:01:51,440
Speaker 1: play well enough in the preseason beat the startom with

42
00:01:51,440 --> 00:01:53,560
Speaker 1: the Jets kickoff in Week one. Yeah, but I think

43
00:01:53,600 --> 00:01:55,480
Speaker 1: when it's all said and done, he ends up starting

44
00:01:55,520 --> 00:01:57,560
Speaker 1: Week one for the Jets. I know we've kind of

45
00:01:57,560 --> 00:01:59,840
Speaker 1: threw out some odds earlier in the off season about

46
00:02:00,160 --> 00:02:02,360
Speaker 1: the chances these guys starting. I do think we end

47
00:02:02,400 --> 00:02:04,560
Speaker 1: up seeing Sam Donald out there week one with the

48
00:02:04,640 --> 00:02:07,160
Speaker 1: Jets starters. You know, I think I think the Jets

49
00:02:07,160 --> 00:02:10,160
Speaker 1: in a unique situation because they have three guys that

50
00:02:10,200 --> 00:02:13,640
Speaker 1: can legitimately start for them and maybe other places. And

51
00:02:13,680 --> 00:02:17,760
Speaker 1: so I think the thing becomes how well does Teddy

52
00:02:17,800 --> 00:02:21,240
Speaker 1: Bridge would have played in the preseason, how often do

53
00:02:21,360 --> 00:02:24,080
Speaker 1: they allow him to play the showcase him and do

54
00:02:24,200 --> 00:02:27,040
Speaker 1: they eventually trade him away at the end of preseason

55
00:02:27,320 --> 00:02:29,000
Speaker 1: to see if they can get a team that either

56
00:02:29,040 --> 00:02:31,560
Speaker 1: has an injury or is not satisfied at the quarterback

57
00:02:31,600 --> 00:02:34,239
Speaker 1: position to take a veteran who appears to have some

58
00:02:34,320 --> 00:02:37,280
Speaker 1: juice stel left in his game. Yeah, I'm excited for

59
00:02:37,360 --> 00:02:39,400
Speaker 1: Teddy because I do think if he can put together

60
00:02:39,720 --> 00:02:41,720
Speaker 1: a nice preseason, he will get an opportunity to go

61
00:02:41,760 --> 00:02:44,960
Speaker 1: somewhere and compete. Um. Look, let's see what happens with Buffalo.

62
00:02:45,040 --> 00:02:47,840
Speaker 1: For some reason, they struggle up in Buffalo during the preseason.

63
00:02:47,880 --> 00:02:50,720
Speaker 1: Who knows, and they want to buy Josh Allen sometime.

64
00:02:50,760 --> 00:02:52,680
Speaker 1: I don't want to rush him out. There would be

65
00:02:52,800 --> 00:02:55,720
Speaker 1: very unusual to see a quarterback traded inside the division,

66
00:02:56,040 --> 00:02:58,400
Speaker 1: although we did see it with Andy Reid trading Donovan

67
00:02:58,440 --> 00:03:00,480
Speaker 1: mcnapp to the Washington Redskins. But that would be kind

68
00:03:00,480 --> 00:03:01,760
Speaker 1: of one of the teams that would keep an eye on.

69
00:03:02,240 --> 00:03:03,959
Speaker 1: In terms of other teams out there that are still

70
00:03:03,960 --> 00:03:06,200
Speaker 1: looking for a starting quarterback, they will definitely have their

71
00:03:06,200 --> 00:03:08,480
Speaker 1: eyes on Teddy Bridgewater to see if he's fully healthy

72
00:03:08,560 --> 00:03:11,040
Speaker 1: here in the preseason, because when healthy, I think he

73
00:03:11,080 --> 00:03:13,840
Speaker 1: has started ability. Yeah, I think there's no question that

74
00:03:13,880 --> 00:03:16,120
Speaker 1: he has started building. He's been successful, He's led his

75
00:03:16,160 --> 00:03:18,840
Speaker 1: team to the postseason, even though the numbers would say

76
00:03:18,880 --> 00:03:21,840
Speaker 1: that he's a game manager. For some teams, a game

77
00:03:21,880 --> 00:03:25,200
Speaker 1: manager is all you need, depending upon the uh, the

78
00:03:25,440 --> 00:03:28,079
Speaker 1: supporting cast, and the talent that you have around him.

79
00:03:28,320 --> 00:03:30,840
Speaker 1: I think when you mentioned the Buffalo Bills, I'm not

80
00:03:30,919 --> 00:03:33,680
Speaker 1: as necessarily um likely to think that they will pull

81
00:03:33,720 --> 00:03:36,920
Speaker 1: the trigger just because there's a fascination with Nate Peterman

82
00:03:36,960 --> 00:03:39,839
Speaker 1: in the building. They're also a team that went out

83
00:03:39,920 --> 00:03:42,280
Speaker 1: and for a modest deal. They signed a G M mccaron.

84
00:03:42,600 --> 00:03:44,760
Speaker 1: We'll see how it plays out there, but I do

85
00:03:44,840 --> 00:03:47,800
Speaker 1: think a team like the Tampa Bay Buccaneers could be

86
00:03:47,880 --> 00:03:51,840
Speaker 1: intrigued by him, particularly Ryan Fitzpatrick struggles. Knowing that this

87
00:03:51,880 --> 00:03:53,640
Speaker 1: is a make or break year for the head coach,

88
00:03:54,480 --> 00:03:57,480
Speaker 1: the GM and the quarterback. You gotta figure out a

89
00:03:57,480 --> 00:04:00,400
Speaker 1: way to get it right. Yeah, I know that'd be fun. Also,

90
00:04:00,520 --> 00:04:02,000
Speaker 1: I know they just signed him and there's a lot

91
00:04:02,000 --> 00:04:04,000
Speaker 1: of confidence in the building based off how he played

92
00:04:04,080 --> 00:04:06,960
Speaker 1: last year. But wouldn't be a bad insurance policy for

93
00:04:06,960 --> 00:04:09,840
Speaker 1: Blake Bortles there either in Jacksonville. Uh, if you can

94
00:04:09,880 --> 00:04:11,680
Speaker 1: get him. Teddy Bridge went on what what the cost

95
00:04:11,760 --> 00:04:14,400
Speaker 1: will be, But that'd be definitely one I would keep

96
00:04:14,440 --> 00:04:16,600
Speaker 1: an eye on there. The other rookie, though, still has

97
00:04:16,680 --> 00:04:18,920
Speaker 1: yet to sign as we're recording this pod, and that's

98
00:04:19,000 --> 00:04:21,960
Speaker 1: ro Kuan Smith with the Chicago Bears. Now, I don't

99
00:04:21,960 --> 00:04:25,360
Speaker 1: think it's a huge deal because ro Quan the intelligence

100
00:04:25,440 --> 00:04:27,360
Speaker 1: is off the charts. I think even if he comes

101
00:04:27,440 --> 00:04:29,240
Speaker 1: late in camp, you'll see him get right on the

102
00:04:29,240 --> 00:04:31,719
Speaker 1: field and have an impact. But man, the stuff that's

103
00:04:31,760 --> 00:04:34,880
Speaker 1: out there that they're rumored to be squabbling about you

104
00:04:34,920 --> 00:04:38,359
Speaker 1: talk about some of this, the suspension language and the

105
00:04:38,400 --> 00:04:41,280
Speaker 1: fine language that comes along with that, with the uncertainty

106
00:04:41,400 --> 00:04:46,040
Speaker 1: with this new head head down rule. Man, if I'm

107
00:04:46,080 --> 00:04:49,360
Speaker 1: Roquan Smith or if I'm his his representatives, I'm I'm

108
00:04:49,400 --> 00:04:51,160
Speaker 1: sticking to my guns on that one, because that can

109
00:04:51,240 --> 00:04:53,359
Speaker 1: end up costing you a ton of money and a

110
00:04:53,480 --> 00:04:56,840
Speaker 1: rule that is yet to be fully understood. I cannot

111
00:04:56,839 --> 00:05:01,040
Speaker 1: believe the Chicago Bears are haggling over this a player

112
00:05:01,080 --> 00:05:03,479
Speaker 1: that is going to be a key contributor. I cannot

113
00:05:03,520 --> 00:05:06,080
Speaker 1: believe that you're fighting over something that would happen on

114
00:05:06,120 --> 00:05:09,120
Speaker 1: the field to be able to take away all the guarantees.

115
00:05:09,320 --> 00:05:12,280
Speaker 1: If I'm ro Kuan Smith and his representatives, I'm absolutely

116
00:05:12,360 --> 00:05:14,760
Speaker 1: drawing a hard line into sand and not budging on

117
00:05:14,839 --> 00:05:18,040
Speaker 1: this deal. The Bears need ro Kwan Smith, they need

118
00:05:18,080 --> 00:05:19,560
Speaker 1: him to be in camp, they need him to help

119
00:05:19,600 --> 00:05:23,400
Speaker 1: their defense. You're the defensive coordinator, Vic FANGI were talking about. Look, man,

120
00:05:23,480 --> 00:05:25,760
Speaker 1: we need the guys to somehow find a way to

121
00:05:25,800 --> 00:05:27,320
Speaker 1: get this guy signs who we can get him in

122
00:05:27,360 --> 00:05:29,960
Speaker 1: and get going. The Bears have created a lot of

123
00:05:30,000 --> 00:05:33,400
Speaker 1: positive momentum in the offseason. Matt Naggy coming. I would

124
00:05:33,400 --> 00:05:35,679
Speaker 1: hate to see a dark cloud hang over this franchise

125
00:05:35,720 --> 00:05:38,640
Speaker 1: because you can't get your number one pick in the building. Yeah,

126
00:05:38,680 --> 00:05:41,080
Speaker 1: all that optimism on the offensive side of the ball,

127
00:05:41,120 --> 00:05:43,480
Speaker 1: but man, he is going to be a central figure

128
00:05:43,920 --> 00:05:45,839
Speaker 1: for this defense, and you look at some of the

129
00:05:45,880 --> 00:05:47,480
Speaker 1: young pieces they have there. I like him, but ro

130
00:05:47,600 --> 00:05:49,880
Speaker 1: Kuan Smith, I think, becomes a leader of this defense,

131
00:05:49,920 --> 00:05:53,240
Speaker 1: becomes that great next great Bears linebacker, and it just

132
00:05:53,279 --> 00:05:55,720
Speaker 1: seems like, man, we really are we really squabbling over

133
00:05:55,720 --> 00:05:57,560
Speaker 1: this stuff. Just get it done. Get him in there,

134
00:05:57,920 --> 00:06:00,240
Speaker 1: let's get ready to go, and kind of old on

135
00:06:00,240 --> 00:06:01,919
Speaker 1: the momentum of the off season, because I think you

136
00:06:01,920 --> 00:06:03,480
Speaker 1: can make a strong case the Bears had the best

137
00:06:03,480 --> 00:06:05,719
Speaker 1: offseason on any team in the league. I mean, yeah,

138
00:06:05,839 --> 00:06:09,440
Speaker 1: everything is pointing to the you know, the the French

139
00:06:09,520 --> 00:06:12,599
Speaker 1: as is going to turn the corner. Matt Naggy comes in.

140
00:06:12,760 --> 00:06:15,000
Speaker 1: It appears that he has a nice rapport with the quarterback.

141
00:06:15,080 --> 00:06:17,200
Speaker 1: We like the things that they've done around the quarterback.

142
00:06:17,520 --> 00:06:20,080
Speaker 1: We're excited about what he could do in his second year,

143
00:06:20,120 --> 00:06:22,080
Speaker 1: coming on the heels of watching Jerry Golf and Carson

144
00:06:22,080 --> 00:06:25,200
Speaker 1: Wentz take their game up a notch. So everything is positive.

145
00:06:25,200 --> 00:06:29,760
Speaker 1: Their defense play surprisingly well last year, very competitive and feisty.

146
00:06:29,920 --> 00:06:32,640
Speaker 1: They just need a centerpiece and that is who Roquan

147
00:06:32,760 --> 00:06:35,480
Speaker 1: Smith should be for this defense. So if I'm the Bears,

148
00:06:35,520 --> 00:06:38,000
Speaker 1: I want to make sure we do everything to get

149
00:06:38,120 --> 00:06:41,360
Speaker 1: this season off on the right start. Man, you gotta

150
00:06:41,360 --> 00:06:42,680
Speaker 1: get him in, you gotta get me and get him

151
00:06:42,680 --> 00:06:44,560
Speaker 1: some experience so he can be the leader of the defense.

152
00:06:45,040 --> 00:06:46,599
Speaker 1: And we'll talk a little bit more about the Bears

153
00:06:46,600 --> 00:06:48,440
Speaker 1: in just a minute. Here. As we look at this

154
00:06:48,480 --> 00:06:50,960
Speaker 1: Hall of Fame game, other piece of news, Earl Thomas

155
00:06:51,240 --> 00:06:52,799
Speaker 1: went ahead to put it out there on the player's

156
00:06:52,839 --> 00:06:55,400
Speaker 1: tribute and bucket basically made it very simple for the

157
00:06:55,440 --> 00:06:58,920
Speaker 1: Seattle Seahawks. Pay me or trade me. I mean, I

158
00:06:58,960 --> 00:07:02,680
Speaker 1: mean it's as simple is at look. Players understand the

159
00:07:02,720 --> 00:07:05,080
Speaker 1: business side of the game. He can look around and

160
00:07:05,160 --> 00:07:07,239
Speaker 1: see that all of his homies, all of his guys

161
00:07:07,279 --> 00:07:10,720
Speaker 1: on defense are no longer there, Michael Bennett, Richard Sherman, Camp,

162
00:07:10,800 --> 00:07:14,200
Speaker 1: chances like it's no longer the same team. He is

163
00:07:14,280 --> 00:07:17,960
Speaker 1: the only person there that is really going through those wars.

164
00:07:18,240 --> 00:07:20,720
Speaker 1: And so if you're Earl Thomas and you're in the

165
00:07:20,800 --> 00:07:23,320
Speaker 1: last year of your deal, normally if they want you

166
00:07:23,360 --> 00:07:26,239
Speaker 1: to be a big part of the situation going forward.

167
00:07:26,440 --> 00:07:28,880
Speaker 1: They'll come to you in extension try and figure it out.

168
00:07:29,040 --> 00:07:32,320
Speaker 1: What he doesn't want to do is to risk his health,

169
00:07:32,400 --> 00:07:35,760
Speaker 1: to jeopardize his future by going out there playing for

170
00:07:35,800 --> 00:07:38,320
Speaker 1: a franchise that isn't really all in. So I do

171
00:07:38,440 --> 00:07:40,920
Speaker 1: understand why he's saying, Look, either pay me to make

172
00:07:40,960 --> 00:07:43,360
Speaker 1: sure that I'm going to be here, or let me

173
00:07:43,400 --> 00:07:45,600
Speaker 1: go to another team that's going to appreciate what I

174
00:07:45,640 --> 00:07:48,360
Speaker 1: bring to the field. I understand it. This is gonna

175
00:07:48,360 --> 00:07:50,200
Speaker 1: be a tough one because the Seattle c X have

176
00:07:50,240 --> 00:07:53,000
Speaker 1: already gone on this line before. They held a hard

177
00:07:53,040 --> 00:07:55,520
Speaker 1: line on Camp Chancellor a couple of seasons ago. He

178
00:07:55,640 --> 00:07:58,440
Speaker 1: missed two games and they didn't relent. We'll see what

179
00:07:58,520 --> 00:08:01,320
Speaker 1: their stands is with Earl Thomas, but this is one

180
00:08:01,360 --> 00:08:03,960
Speaker 1: they could play on into the regular season. Can I

181
00:08:03,960 --> 00:08:05,680
Speaker 1: give you my prediction here and give you my Earl

182
00:08:05,720 --> 00:08:09,880
Speaker 1: Thomas prediction is he's not the two options is going

183
00:08:09,960 --> 00:08:11,840
Speaker 1: to be the trade option. He's not getting paid there.

184
00:08:11,960 --> 00:08:14,240
Speaker 1: That's not gonna happen. So he's gonna get traded. The

185
00:08:14,360 --> 00:08:16,720
Speaker 1: question then is where does he go and what is

186
00:08:16,760 --> 00:08:19,480
Speaker 1: the compensation It takes to get Earl Thomas, and I'll

187
00:08:19,520 --> 00:08:21,960
Speaker 1: give you the compensation. I'll challenge you to give me

188
00:08:22,000 --> 00:08:24,960
Speaker 1: the location. I think to get Earl Thomas away from

189
00:08:24,960 --> 00:08:27,560
Speaker 1: the Seattle Seahawks. I'm gonna say it's gonna cost you

190
00:08:27,600 --> 00:08:29,760
Speaker 1: a two and something. So it's gonna cost you next

191
00:08:29,840 --> 00:08:33,000
Speaker 1: year's second round pick, as well as maybe a conditional pick.

192
00:08:33,040 --> 00:08:35,160
Speaker 1: Maybe it's a four that could turn into a three.

193
00:08:35,200 --> 00:08:37,000
Speaker 1: Maybe it's a five that can turn into a four.

194
00:08:37,240 --> 00:08:39,240
Speaker 1: I'm gonna say it's a second round pick plus just

195
00:08:39,280 --> 00:08:41,559
Speaker 1: a little bit of sugar there, buck, Wow, this is

196
00:08:41,559 --> 00:08:45,280
Speaker 1: a lot. I mean, he's a premier player, went healthy,

197
00:08:45,320 --> 00:08:47,360
Speaker 1: he's the best free safety in the NFL. So here's

198
00:08:47,360 --> 00:08:50,679
Speaker 1: my thing, why can't they get this done during draft week? Why?

199
00:08:51,960 --> 00:08:53,839
Speaker 1: I really thought I really thought it would get done

200
00:08:53,880 --> 00:08:56,840
Speaker 1: during the especially at that time everybody knows who has

201
00:08:56,880 --> 00:08:58,920
Speaker 1: extra picks, and I thought, man, this is a pretty

202
00:08:58,960 --> 00:09:01,480
Speaker 1: valuable asset. If you bring Earl Thomason, might be worth

203
00:09:01,520 --> 00:09:03,640
Speaker 1: partning with a couple of those picks. Well, okay, so

204
00:09:03,720 --> 00:09:05,600
Speaker 1: here here's where I go. I think it'd be a

205
00:09:05,600 --> 00:09:07,920
Speaker 1: a conditional third, meaning he goes to a second based

206
00:09:07,960 --> 00:09:10,480
Speaker 1: on playing time things, and they have you. I think

207
00:09:10,480 --> 00:09:12,840
Speaker 1: what the Seattle Seahawks are doing is they're going to wait,

208
00:09:13,440 --> 00:09:16,480
Speaker 1: and you know it. After the first and second preseason game,

209
00:09:17,000 --> 00:09:20,400
Speaker 1: that's when people begin to panic about how their rosters constructed.

210
00:09:20,559 --> 00:09:22,120
Speaker 1: Some of the young guys that you hold full on,

211
00:09:22,160 --> 00:09:24,079
Speaker 1: they may not play well that first and second game.

212
00:09:24,400 --> 00:09:27,679
Speaker 1: It increases the anxiety about what you have at the position.

213
00:09:28,280 --> 00:09:32,120
Speaker 1: I believe about week three of the preseason, Earl Times

214
00:09:32,160 --> 00:09:34,520
Speaker 1: will be in another spot because de's kind of what

215
00:09:34,800 --> 00:09:38,600
Speaker 1: leads us to see these moves made into preseason Dallas Cowboys.

216
00:09:38,960 --> 00:09:41,480
Speaker 1: Uh No, it's gonna be It's gonna be interesting to see.

217
00:09:41,520 --> 00:09:44,640
Speaker 1: I just I will be very surprised if Earl Thomas

218
00:09:45,240 --> 00:09:47,679
Speaker 1: suits up for the Seattle Seahawks. Ever again, I think

219
00:09:47,720 --> 00:09:50,120
Speaker 1: that that that chapter is over in his career. And

220
00:09:50,200 --> 00:09:52,400
Speaker 1: I think this team really from the team side of things,

221
00:09:53,120 --> 00:09:54,679
Speaker 1: they can call it what they want. Buck This to

222
00:09:54,760 --> 00:09:56,840
Speaker 1: me looks like the beginning of a rebuild. And all

223
00:09:56,880 --> 00:09:59,040
Speaker 1: those veteran names have have exited, and I know Pete

224
00:09:59,040 --> 00:10:00,920
Speaker 1: Carroll is excited to have and some fresh blood in

225
00:10:00,960 --> 00:10:03,400
Speaker 1: there and and preaching that competition all over again. No

226
00:10:03,600 --> 00:10:06,560
Speaker 1: jobs are guaranteed, that's great, But when I look at

227
00:10:06,600 --> 00:10:09,640
Speaker 1: where their roster is compared with other teams inside that division.

228
00:10:10,120 --> 00:10:12,199
Speaker 1: Russell Wilson's gonna have to cover up a lot of

229
00:10:12,240 --> 00:10:14,319
Speaker 1: stink because I think this team is not very good

230
00:10:14,400 --> 00:10:17,040
Speaker 1: this year. I'll be surprised if the Seattle Seahawks are

231
00:10:17,080 --> 00:10:19,840
Speaker 1: a five team. Yeah, it could be tough on this team.

232
00:10:19,920 --> 00:10:23,240
Speaker 1: And here here's what we're seeing. This team has missed

233
00:10:23,440 --> 00:10:27,080
Speaker 1: a lot in in drafts the last couple of years.

234
00:10:27,160 --> 00:10:29,319
Speaker 1: And part of the reason they we have success that

235
00:10:29,480 --> 00:10:31,400
Speaker 1: one draft that they knocked it out apart was the

236
00:10:31,520 --> 00:10:34,959
Speaker 1: twenty eleven draft or whatever draft, when they were able

237
00:10:35,000 --> 00:10:38,439
Speaker 1: to get all of those guys. That was the composition,

238
00:10:38,480 --> 00:10:41,600
Speaker 1: the nucleus of their squad. Since then, they haven't been

239
00:10:41,640 --> 00:10:44,280
Speaker 1: able to replicate that success. And what happens when you

240
00:10:44,400 --> 00:10:48,319
Speaker 1: miss and miss repeatedly on those guys, the talent on

241
00:10:48,400 --> 00:10:51,439
Speaker 1: your roster begins to diminish. Right now, they're not a

242
00:10:51,520 --> 00:10:55,240
Speaker 1: talented squad because they didn't hit on those draft picks.

243
00:10:55,559 --> 00:10:57,360
Speaker 1: Puts a lot of pressure on John Snyder and that

244
00:10:57,440 --> 00:10:59,280
Speaker 1: staff to kind of figure out a way to build

245
00:10:59,360 --> 00:11:02,640
Speaker 1: this team, to rebuild this team without those draft picks

246
00:11:02,760 --> 00:11:04,959
Speaker 1: playing off. We've seen him kind of dig into the

247
00:11:05,040 --> 00:11:07,920
Speaker 1: old first round being Dion Jordan and some of the

248
00:11:07,960 --> 00:11:10,920
Speaker 1: guys that Dave picked up off the market, Barcaves, Mingo

249
00:11:11,120 --> 00:11:13,600
Speaker 1: and others. We'll see if he can kind of wave

250
00:11:13,679 --> 00:11:15,400
Speaker 1: his magic one and get those guys to play at

251
00:11:15,400 --> 00:11:18,040
Speaker 1: a high level. But right now, this is a team

252
00:11:18,120 --> 00:11:21,120
Speaker 1: that appears to be regressing as opposed to ascending in

253
00:11:21,200 --> 00:11:24,120
Speaker 1: the division. Yeah, and I look at around that division

254
00:11:24,160 --> 00:11:26,280
Speaker 1: and I see a young Josh Rosen eventually going to

255
00:11:26,360 --> 00:11:28,640
Speaker 1: take over there for the Arizona Cardinals, and David Johnson

256
00:11:28,720 --> 00:11:31,240
Speaker 1: still learning him to his prime. See Jimmy Garoppolo and

257
00:11:31,280 --> 00:11:34,080
Speaker 1: all the excitement with that San Francisco organization. Everybody knows

258
00:11:34,080 --> 00:11:36,959
Speaker 1: about the Rams and the talent they've accumulated on both

259
00:11:37,000 --> 00:11:38,600
Speaker 1: sides of the ball over the last couple of years.

260
00:11:38,679 --> 00:11:41,920
Speaker 1: So I just look at them inside that division. I think,

261
00:11:41,960 --> 00:11:43,360
Speaker 1: at this point in time, go ahead and make that

262
00:11:43,440 --> 00:11:46,160
Speaker 1: trade Genarl Thomas a new home, get some draft picks,

263
00:11:46,240 --> 00:11:48,840
Speaker 1: and see if you can't continue this rebuilding process as

264
00:11:48,880 --> 00:11:51,800
Speaker 1: you go into next year. Another piece of news buck

265
00:11:51,920 --> 00:11:54,920
Speaker 1: Pat Mahomesh the kind of darling of the off season,

266
00:11:55,040 --> 00:11:57,959
Speaker 1: and nobody, nobody disputes the tools that he has when

267
00:11:57,960 --> 00:12:00,040
Speaker 1: you talk about the arm strength and the athletics, is

268
00:12:00,080 --> 00:12:02,040
Speaker 1: gonna be able to move around and make some rare plays.

269
00:12:02,559 --> 00:12:04,400
Speaker 1: But there's been some reports he struggle a little bit

270
00:12:04,640 --> 00:12:07,120
Speaker 1: in Chief's camp. And my opinion on this, and I

271
00:12:07,200 --> 00:12:09,559
Speaker 1: want to get your thoughts on it. This and this

272
00:12:09,880 --> 00:12:12,040
Speaker 1: is coming from a guy who's a little bit skeptical

273
00:12:12,080 --> 00:12:13,920
Speaker 1: about Pat Mahomes and thinks that will be a little

274
00:12:14,000 --> 00:12:16,120
Speaker 1: up and down here this first year. But I am

275
00:12:16,240 --> 00:12:20,040
Speaker 1: not worried at all based off struggles in practice, because

276
00:12:20,160 --> 00:12:22,360
Speaker 1: this is this goes back to anybody that knows how

277
00:12:22,400 --> 00:12:24,959
Speaker 1: to develop the quarterback position. You're gonna you want to

278
00:12:25,000 --> 00:12:28,160
Speaker 1: stretch them and stress them out in practice, asked them

279
00:12:28,200 --> 00:12:30,480
Speaker 1: to do things, press the boundaries, see what throws you

280
00:12:30,600 --> 00:12:34,079
Speaker 1: can make, take some chances during practice, and kind of

281
00:12:34,160 --> 00:12:35,959
Speaker 1: learn yourself and it's gonna help the play color. Learn

282
00:12:36,040 --> 00:12:38,000
Speaker 1: what you like, what you don't like, what throws you

283
00:12:38,120 --> 00:12:40,120
Speaker 1: can and can't make. And then once you get into

284
00:12:40,160 --> 00:12:42,720
Speaker 1: the season, you're gonna see Andy Reid shrink that playbook

285
00:12:42,720 --> 00:12:44,920
Speaker 1: into things that he knows Pat Mahomes is not only

286
00:12:45,000 --> 00:12:47,880
Speaker 1: comfortable with, but that he can execute. I think people

287
00:12:48,000 --> 00:12:51,559
Speaker 1: get way carried away with what takes place in training, camp, practice.

288
00:12:51,880 --> 00:12:53,520
Speaker 1: I think you have to understand what it is and

289
00:12:53,640 --> 00:12:56,480
Speaker 1: understand the objective. And really, from the outside looking in,

290
00:12:56,679 --> 00:13:00,240
Speaker 1: we don't know what the emphasis is each day when

291
00:13:00,280 --> 00:13:02,240
Speaker 1: Pat Mahomes steps onto the field, we don't know if

292
00:13:02,320 --> 00:13:05,000
Speaker 1: Andy Reid had encouraged him a push the envelope a

293
00:13:05,000 --> 00:13:07,600
Speaker 1: little bit. I want you to see if those throws

294
00:13:07,640 --> 00:13:09,160
Speaker 1: type when the throws, see if you can fit it

295
00:13:09,240 --> 00:13:11,440
Speaker 1: in there, just so that we know when it comes

296
00:13:11,440 --> 00:13:15,640
Speaker 1: to game day you feel absolutely comfortable making those throws.

297
00:13:15,920 --> 00:13:17,560
Speaker 1: I'll go back to doing my time as a player

298
00:13:17,559 --> 00:13:20,360
Speaker 1: when I was with the Jacksonville Jaguars. Dick Girond was

299
00:13:20,440 --> 00:13:22,559
Speaker 1: a defense coordinator, former head coach of the Bills and

300
00:13:22,600 --> 00:13:26,439
Speaker 1: the Bears, and he said, always try whatever you think

301
00:13:26,520 --> 00:13:29,720
Speaker 1: you may do in games, try it in practice because

302
00:13:29,760 --> 00:13:32,200
Speaker 1: there's no scoreboard in practice. So if you mess up,

303
00:13:32,360 --> 00:13:34,120
Speaker 1: if you give up a big play, if you turn

304
00:13:34,200 --> 00:13:37,040
Speaker 1: it over, it doesn't matter because you're really trying to

305
00:13:37,120 --> 00:13:39,720
Speaker 1: see where you are and how you need to play

306
00:13:39,800 --> 00:13:42,599
Speaker 1: to be successful on game day. To me, we have

307
00:13:42,720 --> 00:13:46,559
Speaker 1: her Andy Reid talk about a Pat Mahomes needs to

308
00:13:46,640 --> 00:13:48,600
Speaker 1: let it fly, letter rip. Let's see where we're at

309
00:13:48,679 --> 00:13:50,360
Speaker 1: let's see what throws we can make to see how

310
00:13:50,400 --> 00:13:52,679
Speaker 1: we can build it around them. As they get closer

311
00:13:52,679 --> 00:13:55,559
Speaker 1: to playing regular season games, we'll see him rein it in.

312
00:13:55,960 --> 00:13:58,760
Speaker 1: But I will say this is who Pat Mahomes is.

313
00:13:59,120 --> 00:14:02,560
Speaker 1: He's a gunslinger and a risk taker. And so if

314
00:14:02,600 --> 00:14:05,719
Speaker 1: you think that you're going to get Alex Smith like

315
00:14:06,120 --> 00:14:08,559
Speaker 1: ball security, you're not going to get it. But what

316
00:14:08,679 --> 00:14:12,240
Speaker 1: you're hoping is you get far more big plays because

317
00:14:12,280 --> 00:14:14,280
Speaker 1: he does push the envelope and he has more talent

318
00:14:14,360 --> 00:14:17,920
Speaker 1: with his arm. Yeah, I think you traded. Let's be honest,

319
00:14:17,920 --> 00:14:20,600
Speaker 1: you traded efficient for explosive. That was the trade off

320
00:14:20,720 --> 00:14:23,120
Speaker 1: that you wanted to make the efficiency of Alex Smith

321
00:14:23,600 --> 00:14:26,720
Speaker 1: versus the explosiveness of Pat Mahomes. Now we'll see how

322
00:14:26,800 --> 00:14:29,360
Speaker 1: that pays off. I have a feeling that, Okay, they

323
00:14:29,440 --> 00:14:31,840
Speaker 1: might even be comfortable with the fact that Alex Smith

324
00:14:31,920 --> 00:14:33,880
Speaker 1: maybe can get us to be a third team and

325
00:14:33,960 --> 00:14:37,000
Speaker 1: three team. Maybe with Pat Mahomes we're an eleven and

326
00:14:37,080 --> 00:14:39,720
Speaker 1: five team, we're a tenant six team. Both guys get

327
00:14:39,800 --> 00:14:42,040
Speaker 1: us into the dance. But once we get into the postseason,

328
00:14:42,120 --> 00:14:45,320
Speaker 1: you feel like with Pat Mahomes ceiling, he'd be able

329
00:14:45,360 --> 00:14:47,840
Speaker 1: to navigate through an entire postseason and be able to

330
00:14:47,920 --> 00:14:50,480
Speaker 1: hoist a trophy, whereas you felt maybe with Alex Smith

331
00:14:50,760 --> 00:14:52,520
Speaker 1: there were some limits in place there once you get

332
00:14:52,560 --> 00:14:54,520
Speaker 1: into the postseason. But there was definitely a trade off,

333
00:14:54,600 --> 00:14:55,960
Speaker 1: and they're gonna have to live with some of the

334
00:14:56,080 --> 00:14:59,080
Speaker 1: uncomfortable throws, some of the turnovers. That's gonna come with

335
00:14:59,120 --> 00:15:01,600
Speaker 1: a territory. But you we are going to see we

336
00:15:01,680 --> 00:15:03,880
Speaker 1: are going to see some wild plays from Pat Mahomes,

337
00:15:03,880 --> 00:15:05,680
Speaker 1: and I would imagine we'll start here in the preseason.

338
00:15:05,920 --> 00:15:08,920
Speaker 1: You know, a long time ago, Warren Moon told me Um,

339
00:15:09,400 --> 00:15:13,080
Speaker 1: he said, look, man, when you're playing quarterback, you have

340
00:15:13,280 --> 00:15:15,160
Speaker 1: to be able to push it and I gotta be

341
00:15:15,200 --> 00:15:17,640
Speaker 1: able to make these chances and take these risks in

342
00:15:17,680 --> 00:15:20,920
Speaker 1: the first quarter and sometimes it may independent as an interception,

343
00:15:21,200 --> 00:15:23,800
Speaker 1: but in the fourth quarter, you're going to want me

344
00:15:23,920 --> 00:15:26,240
Speaker 1: to make those plays. So you better live with the

345
00:15:26,320 --> 00:15:29,480
Speaker 1: mistakes so you can get the rewards. No, that's a

346
00:15:29,520 --> 00:15:31,840
Speaker 1: great that's a great point. There are another article that's

347
00:15:31,840 --> 00:15:34,920
Speaker 1: out there. I just read, uh just recently about Kyle

348
00:15:35,040 --> 00:15:38,040
Speaker 1: Shanahan talking about how he presented a play in front

349
00:15:38,040 --> 00:15:40,040
Speaker 1: of the whole team. I don't you saw this Richard Sherman.

350
00:15:40,520 --> 00:15:42,800
Speaker 1: What a great, what a great, what a great message

351
00:15:42,800 --> 00:15:44,880
Speaker 1: from Kyle Shanahan Richard Sherman, if you haven't seen it,

352
00:15:45,160 --> 00:15:47,160
Speaker 1: he goes up against Markue's good and maybe the you know,

353
00:15:47,480 --> 00:15:49,960
Speaker 1: the top three fastest guys in the league. And Mark

354
00:15:50,000 --> 00:15:51,600
Speaker 1: he's good when beats him on a nine route, beats

355
00:15:51,640 --> 00:15:54,080
Speaker 1: him vertical and it kind of what semi viral and

356
00:15:54,120 --> 00:15:56,920
Speaker 1: people talking about always. You know, Richard Sherman lost his step,

357
00:15:57,000 --> 00:15:59,360
Speaker 1: he's not the same guy. Blah blah blah, And Kyle

358
00:15:59,440 --> 00:16:01,400
Speaker 1: Shanahan said, look, this is this is what I love

359
00:16:01,400 --> 00:16:04,240
Speaker 1: about Richard. He's challenging himself, get up and press coverage

360
00:16:04,240 --> 00:16:06,000
Speaker 1: against one of the fastest guys on the planet right

361
00:16:06,040 --> 00:16:08,480
Speaker 1: off of an injury. No, Richard Sherman not gonna play

362
00:16:08,560 --> 00:16:10,320
Speaker 1: him like that if they were in a regular season

363
00:16:10,360 --> 00:16:12,880
Speaker 1: game right now, He's gonna do things are gonna benefit

364
00:16:13,000 --> 00:16:15,240
Speaker 1: him and protect him. But in practice, man, do it,

365
00:16:15,400 --> 00:16:18,120
Speaker 1: challenge yourself, get better and uh and he he was.

366
00:16:18,320 --> 00:16:20,720
Speaker 1: He was awesome with that message to Richard Sherman, telling

367
00:16:20,760 --> 00:16:22,720
Speaker 1: everybody out here, hey, don't worry about what they're writing

368
00:16:22,720 --> 00:16:24,960
Speaker 1: and on websites and the newspapers about what you're doing

369
00:16:25,000 --> 00:16:27,440
Speaker 1: in training camp. This is about you individually taking that

370
00:16:27,560 --> 00:16:30,680
Speaker 1: next step, challenging yourself and getting better. You know, dj

371
00:16:30,840 --> 00:16:33,600
Speaker 1: I will say this, this is the hardest time ever

372
00:16:33,800 --> 00:16:37,440
Speaker 1: to be a player UM at any level, high school, college, pro,

373
00:16:37,680 --> 00:16:40,800
Speaker 1: because you have so many voices that don't carry any

374
00:16:40,880 --> 00:16:44,880
Speaker 1: weight weighing in on players performances, even us making observations

375
00:16:44,960 --> 00:16:48,600
Speaker 1: from afar or whatever. Right now, Twitter has allowed everyone

376
00:16:48,960 --> 00:16:52,440
Speaker 1: to pick upport your game, and if you're not courageous

377
00:16:52,600 --> 00:16:56,720
Speaker 1: and confident and have thick skin, you can allow the

378
00:16:56,840 --> 00:17:00,360
Speaker 1: Twitter verse to really make you question yourself. To me,

379
00:17:00,920 --> 00:17:03,360
Speaker 1: it says a lot about Richard Sherman that he doesn't

380
00:17:03,440 --> 00:17:07,359
Speaker 1: mind putting himself out there for public consumption to doing

381
00:17:07,520 --> 00:17:10,680
Speaker 1: things that are kind of on the line when it

382
00:17:10,800 --> 00:17:13,800
Speaker 1: comes to playing, because he knows he has to figure

383
00:17:13,840 --> 00:17:16,040
Speaker 1: out what can I do? What can I do at

384
00:17:16,119 --> 00:17:18,720
Speaker 1: this stage in my career coming off this injury. Can

385
00:17:18,800 --> 00:17:20,440
Speaker 1: I go back and play like I used to play

386
00:17:20,480 --> 00:17:22,720
Speaker 1: in Seattle? Or do I need to make some alterations

387
00:17:22,760 --> 00:17:26,240
Speaker 1: to the game. In practice, That's where you figure it out.

388
00:17:26,560 --> 00:17:29,240
Speaker 1: The challenges are you willing to do it in practice?

389
00:17:29,440 --> 00:17:34,000
Speaker 1: Knowing everyone's a reporter, everyone has an iPhone. Everyone has

390
00:17:34,040 --> 00:17:36,439
Speaker 1: the ability to take a video and to make it viral.

391
00:17:37,359 --> 00:17:40,640
Speaker 1: It's tough, but with a coach coming out and supporting

392
00:17:40,680 --> 00:17:43,359
Speaker 1: them like that, I can see other players on their

393
00:17:43,400 --> 00:17:45,840
Speaker 1: squad being Okay, we're putting themselves out there because they

394
00:17:45,920 --> 00:17:48,240
Speaker 1: know their coach has their back. Let me give me

395
00:17:48,240 --> 00:17:49,960
Speaker 1: a phrase here, Buck, you can write this one down

396
00:17:50,040 --> 00:17:52,520
Speaker 1: free of charge. Uh as a as a player, as

397
00:17:52,560 --> 00:17:55,560
Speaker 1: a team, as an organization, never lose sight on what

398
00:17:55,800 --> 00:17:59,000
Speaker 1: you want ultimately. Don't sacrifice what you want ultimately for

399
00:17:59,080 --> 00:18:01,200
Speaker 1: what you want immediately. And I think that's a great

400
00:18:01,240 --> 00:18:02,960
Speaker 1: lesson really kind of all the way around in life

401
00:18:03,080 --> 00:18:04,600
Speaker 1: is is keep your eyes on the on the big

402
00:18:04,680 --> 00:18:07,119
Speaker 1: prize and not focus on that immediacy right now. Can

403
00:18:07,200 --> 00:18:09,920
Speaker 1: take some criticism, who cares. Just become a better player,

404
00:18:10,000 --> 00:18:12,080
Speaker 1: become a better football team. Yeah, I think so. I

405
00:18:12,119 --> 00:18:13,760
Speaker 1: think that's what it is. I think everyone has to

406
00:18:13,840 --> 00:18:16,159
Speaker 1: have a long term go Everyone has to have a

407
00:18:16,240 --> 00:18:19,760
Speaker 1: set of expectations and objectives on a daily basis, on

408
00:18:19,840 --> 00:18:22,080
Speaker 1: a weekly basis, on a monthly basis, and then for

409
00:18:22,200 --> 00:18:24,720
Speaker 1: the year. As football coaches, what you're trying to do

410
00:18:24,840 --> 00:18:26,600
Speaker 1: is you're trying to get your gotta phne in on

411
00:18:26,840 --> 00:18:30,080
Speaker 1: certain things each day, each week, each month to get better.

412
00:18:30,560 --> 00:18:33,440
Speaker 1: This is part of the process. And you have to

413
00:18:33,520 --> 00:18:36,600
Speaker 1: have enough conviction and courage to not worry about all

414
00:18:36,680 --> 00:18:39,720
Speaker 1: the guys on the outside wing. In last thing, and

415
00:18:39,800 --> 00:18:41,760
Speaker 1: we'll get into this, uh this preview here for the

416
00:18:41,800 --> 00:18:44,560
Speaker 1: Hall of Fame game. We we both are obsessed kind

417
00:18:44,560 --> 00:18:46,760
Speaker 1: of the quarterback position, in the leadership position. And I

418
00:18:46,920 --> 00:18:49,480
Speaker 1: heard this little phrase, and I thought, from a team

419
00:18:49,560 --> 00:18:51,080
Speaker 1: as as you're kind of going through this time your

420
00:18:51,160 --> 00:18:53,240
Speaker 1: high school if you're high school coach out there, college

421
00:18:53,280 --> 00:18:54,480
Speaker 1: coach or whatever. I know, we've got a bunch of

422
00:18:54,520 --> 00:18:57,080
Speaker 1: guys that listened to the podcast here and I heard

423
00:18:57,119 --> 00:18:59,080
Speaker 1: this phrase. I thought, man, this is a great way

424
00:18:59,160 --> 00:19:00,760
Speaker 1: to know if you've got a great team or not.

425
00:19:01,240 --> 00:19:03,320
Speaker 1: But you want to have guys that know the way,

426
00:19:03,960 --> 00:19:06,560
Speaker 1: that go the way, and then show the way. And

427
00:19:06,640 --> 00:19:08,760
Speaker 1: I thought that is so beautiful because it's knowing what

428
00:19:08,880 --> 00:19:11,159
Speaker 1: to do, then doing it, and then being able to

429
00:19:11,240 --> 00:19:13,479
Speaker 1: bring up the young guys underneath you and teaching them

430
00:19:13,520 --> 00:19:15,560
Speaker 1: and showing them how to do it. And I thought, man,

431
00:19:15,560 --> 00:19:17,240
Speaker 1: when you think about the great teams you've been around,

432
00:19:17,240 --> 00:19:19,040
Speaker 1: the great teams I've had a chance to be around Buck,

433
00:19:19,320 --> 00:19:22,320
Speaker 1: That's exactly what took place there. Yeah. Absolutely, I mean

434
00:19:22,400 --> 00:19:24,159
Speaker 1: this is what you do like. You're not afraid. You

435
00:19:24,359 --> 00:19:26,480
Speaker 1: you have a level of accountability, you have a level

436
00:19:26,560 --> 00:19:29,879
Speaker 1: of uh courage and confidence where it look, it's us

437
00:19:29,920 --> 00:19:32,360
Speaker 1: against the world. We're going to put ourselves out there

438
00:19:32,400 --> 00:19:34,040
Speaker 1: for the world to see, and we're not afraid. We

439
00:19:34,080 --> 00:19:36,879
Speaker 1: don't worry about public opinions. We have a focus. We

440
00:19:37,000 --> 00:19:39,040
Speaker 1: have a plan in place that's going to help us

441
00:19:39,080 --> 00:19:41,359
Speaker 1: get to the promised Land, and you have to trust it.

442
00:19:41,440 --> 00:19:44,080
Speaker 1: And I think, you know, going back to Kyle Shanahan

443
00:19:44,160 --> 00:19:46,160
Speaker 1: and what he did, I think what he is doing

444
00:19:46,560 --> 00:19:49,680
Speaker 1: is showing us, guys, we in this building knew exactly

445
00:19:49,720 --> 00:19:51,840
Speaker 1: what's going on. We have a plan in place for

446
00:19:51,960 --> 00:19:54,960
Speaker 1: us to get to the next level. Ignore all the naysayers.

447
00:19:55,240 --> 00:19:57,359
Speaker 1: We're fine, We're right on track. We're gonna continue to

448
00:19:57,400 --> 00:19:59,280
Speaker 1: do what we do, have a nose down and make

449
00:19:59,280 --> 00:20:02,240
Speaker 1: sure we get there dintime. All right. I want to

450
00:20:02,280 --> 00:20:04,800
Speaker 1: get on that same theory here that it's it's a

451
00:20:04,840 --> 00:20:08,439
Speaker 1: nice segue here talking about the Bears, Joe Flacco along

452
00:20:08,600 --> 00:20:11,960
Speaker 1: with Lamar Jackson showing the way Buck your thoughts there

453
00:20:12,040 --> 00:20:15,040
Speaker 1: on the mentor ship that's maybe taking place, maybe not

454
00:20:15,200 --> 00:20:17,840
Speaker 1: taking place. I know again, I go out of town

455
00:20:17,880 --> 00:20:23,320
Speaker 1: for a couple of days and then I feel like

456
00:20:23,560 --> 00:20:26,280
Speaker 1: I feel like I'm like, uh, I'm like Bernie Pachinko

457
00:20:26,320 --> 00:20:28,240
Speaker 1: over here, like the doctor. I think it was funny

458
00:20:28,320 --> 00:20:30,159
Speaker 1: is how people call you into kind of like, hey,

459
00:20:30,240 --> 00:20:35,120
Speaker 1: calm you boy down. Hey he's off the calm him down.

460
00:20:35,880 --> 00:20:38,880
Speaker 1: Look going off on these dudes. Know what what happened

461
00:20:39,040 --> 00:20:42,600
Speaker 1: was Addi Ki Kabwala put out a report from Cleveland

462
00:20:42,920 --> 00:20:45,960
Speaker 1: about something that Tyrod Taylor had told her about Tyrod

463
00:20:46,040 --> 00:20:48,360
Speaker 1: coming into the league and how he said, like, look,

464
00:20:48,480 --> 00:20:50,800
Speaker 1: Joe Flacco didn't give me a lot of assistance my

465
00:20:50,920 --> 00:20:55,200
Speaker 1: first year there. So I was like, look, I'm not surprised.

466
00:20:55,560 --> 00:20:59,159
Speaker 1: I'm not surprised based on my experience and some of

467
00:20:59,240 --> 00:21:01,280
Speaker 1: the other things that I know about quarterbacks in the

468
00:21:01,359 --> 00:21:05,120
Speaker 1: league and Joe Flacco specifically. I said, look, last year,

469
00:21:05,200 --> 00:21:07,640
Speaker 1: Joe Flacco, we could say in Jess talked about Colin

470
00:21:07,720 --> 00:21:09,960
Speaker 1: Kaepernick and I want him to come and start, and

471
00:21:10,000 --> 00:21:11,800
Speaker 1: then Lady came back said it would be fun to

472
00:21:11,840 --> 00:21:14,760
Speaker 1: have him, Like if you believe it at face value, cool,

473
00:21:15,840 --> 00:21:18,280
Speaker 1: but we all have been around quarterbacks, and we all

474
00:21:18,320 --> 00:21:20,640
Speaker 1: will say that the quarterback room is different than every

475
00:21:20,680 --> 00:21:25,000
Speaker 1: other room and on the squad. Quarterbacks are rarely put

476
00:21:25,080 --> 00:21:28,280
Speaker 1: in a situation, particularly starters, where they bringing another guy

477
00:21:28,640 --> 00:21:32,520
Speaker 1: who has starting caliber potential to push him, because the

478
00:21:32,640 --> 00:21:35,119
Speaker 1: old starter typically doesn't like that. He likes to know

479
00:21:35,280 --> 00:21:37,600
Speaker 1: it's my squad. I take all the reps. I don't

480
00:21:37,640 --> 00:21:39,280
Speaker 1: want to have to compete for my job. How can

481
00:21:39,359 --> 00:21:42,960
Speaker 1: I know? And so there's an ununcertainty and insecurity that

482
00:21:43,160 --> 00:21:46,440
Speaker 1: naturally exists in their room. So people brought up examples

483
00:21:46,520 --> 00:21:50,200
Speaker 1: of what Brett Varvin and Rodgers. Great, you make my point,

484
00:21:50,520 --> 00:21:54,600
Speaker 1: Tom Brady, since Jimmy Garoppolo out, great, that's my point.

485
00:21:55,160 --> 00:21:59,480
Speaker 1: Most alpha's, most quarterbacks don't want the presence of another guy,

486
00:21:59,600 --> 00:22:03,200
Speaker 1: and that east to some insecurity. However, the ones that

487
00:22:03,280 --> 00:22:06,640
Speaker 1: are secured, they don't mind sharing information. They don't mind

488
00:22:06,760 --> 00:22:10,960
Speaker 1: giving tips and confidence. What we heard, Drew Brees gave

489
00:22:11,119 --> 00:22:14,159
Speaker 1: Chase Daniels a plan for how to prepare Chase Daniel

490
00:22:14,200 --> 00:22:17,440
Speaker 1: goes to Philadelphia, gives where he goes to cance CD first,

491
00:22:17,480 --> 00:22:19,480
Speaker 1: gives a spens that plan that makes his way to Philly,

492
00:22:19,520 --> 00:22:22,240
Speaker 1: gives that plan to Carson Wentz. What we're seeing in

493
00:22:22,280 --> 00:22:24,880
Speaker 1: Philadelphia with Nick Foles and Carson Wentz and the Yang

494
00:22:24,920 --> 00:22:27,160
Speaker 1: and the Yang and then talking about the perfect room.

495
00:22:27,640 --> 00:22:31,240
Speaker 1: The reason people talk about it is because it's uncommon.

496
00:22:31,560 --> 00:22:34,960
Speaker 1: It is uncommon for quarterbacks to share information like that.

497
00:22:35,320 --> 00:22:37,560
Speaker 1: So when you do have a situation like that, you

498
00:22:37,720 --> 00:22:40,600
Speaker 1: highlight it, you shared light on it, you talk about it. Yeah,

499
00:22:40,640 --> 00:22:42,000
Speaker 1: the one thing I would Yeah, I have to go

500
00:22:42,040 --> 00:22:43,919
Speaker 1: back and look this up. But I believe when uh,

501
00:22:44,080 --> 00:22:46,840
Speaker 1: when Tyrod got to Baltimore thinking his rookie year was

502
00:22:46,960 --> 00:22:49,840
Speaker 1: pre super Bowl, right, So so Joe hadn't won a

503
00:22:49,840 --> 00:22:52,040
Speaker 1: super Bow yet. Maybe with the you know what, the

504
00:22:52,080 --> 00:22:53,959
Speaker 1: super Bowl run that he had in a big contract

505
00:22:54,000 --> 00:22:56,280
Speaker 1: that came after it, maybe you have a more secure

506
00:22:56,359 --> 00:22:58,639
Speaker 1: Joe Flacco that maybe a little bit more open. But man,

507
00:22:58,680 --> 00:23:00,640
Speaker 1: I don't know, he didn't see him. You can say

508
00:23:00,680 --> 00:23:02,480
Speaker 1: whatever said is said, But I just know, if you

509
00:23:02,520 --> 00:23:04,600
Speaker 1: want to look at what he's put out there for

510
00:23:04,720 --> 00:23:06,800
Speaker 1: us to see from the outside, I don't think Joe

511
00:23:06,920 --> 00:23:09,760
Speaker 1: is too pleased with the addition of Lamar Jackson. That's

512
00:23:09,800 --> 00:23:13,639
Speaker 1: just hey, that's my opinion. He said. He threw his

513
00:23:13,680 --> 00:23:19,040
Speaker 1: phone across the rim. Uh. I mean like so so,

514
00:23:19,240 --> 00:23:20,960
Speaker 1: so that's the thing. Look, you and I both know

515
00:23:21,080 --> 00:23:23,399
Speaker 1: guys in that building like it is what it is.

516
00:23:23,520 --> 00:23:25,040
Speaker 1: Like people can say what they say, but like we've

517
00:23:25,040 --> 00:23:27,080
Speaker 1: taught the people not only in the front of you,

518
00:23:27,160 --> 00:23:30,400
Speaker 1: tell the people on the staff, like no one necessarily

519
00:23:30,480 --> 00:23:33,359
Speaker 1: expects him to kind of hold Lamar Jackson's hands and

520
00:23:33,560 --> 00:23:35,640
Speaker 1: and say like, hey, Lamar, this is how you play

521
00:23:35,760 --> 00:23:39,879
Speaker 1: because look, he's competing for Joe Flacco's job at some point,

522
00:23:40,080 --> 00:23:43,119
Speaker 1: and everyone knows what it is. And so it's one

523
00:23:43,119 --> 00:23:45,200
Speaker 1: of those things we all have insecurities. When you bring

524
00:23:45,280 --> 00:23:47,600
Speaker 1: somebody and sit them right beside my seat, I feel

525
00:23:47,880 --> 00:23:49,760
Speaker 1: some kind of way because I know, like, hey, this

526
00:23:49,880 --> 00:23:52,320
Speaker 1: guy could potentially move me out. So what I'm gonna

527
00:23:52,320 --> 00:23:54,560
Speaker 1: do is if I feel good enough about myself, I'll

528
00:23:54,640 --> 00:23:58,320
Speaker 1: help because inside I feel like I'm going to outperform

529
00:23:58,400 --> 00:24:00,800
Speaker 1: the person anyway. It shouldn't mad. It's just a matter

530
00:24:00,840 --> 00:24:02,560
Speaker 1: of how you feel about yourself, how you feel about

531
00:24:02,560 --> 00:24:05,399
Speaker 1: your security. A real quick here on this game, if

532
00:24:05,440 --> 00:24:07,399
Speaker 1: you're just looking at one thing you're looking for here

533
00:24:07,440 --> 00:24:09,240
Speaker 1: from the Ravens, and maybe one thing you're looking for

534
00:24:09,359 --> 00:24:11,359
Speaker 1: from the bears, Oh you know, we're looking for me

535
00:24:11,600 --> 00:24:13,480
Speaker 1: looking to see if Lamar Jackson will makes some sweat

536
00:24:13,560 --> 00:24:16,199
Speaker 1: his first play call. Bucky Brooks is the offensive coordinator.

537
00:24:16,200 --> 00:24:18,720
Speaker 1: What you already offensivecordation for your high school? What am I?

538
00:24:18,800 --> 00:24:20,920
Speaker 1: What am I doing for Lamar Jackson right now? What's

539
00:24:20,920 --> 00:24:23,640
Speaker 1: your first play? You know, first play? I'm gonna be like, look, Lamar,

540
00:24:23,800 --> 00:24:26,159
Speaker 1: what what's your favorite quick route? We're gonna throw it outside,

541
00:24:26,240 --> 00:24:30,080
Speaker 1: but winning out, just run, just take like like whatever

542
00:24:30,200 --> 00:24:33,080
Speaker 1: is going to help him get the butterflies out. I

543
00:24:33,160 --> 00:24:34,680
Speaker 1: want him to kind of get that out the way,

544
00:24:34,760 --> 00:24:38,359
Speaker 1: So I may let him run pretty early in the series,

545
00:24:38,400 --> 00:24:40,439
Speaker 1: maybe have a design quarterback draw stuff that we can

546
00:24:40,520 --> 00:24:42,320
Speaker 1: kind of get it all out and then let's get

547
00:24:42,359 --> 00:24:44,600
Speaker 1: to playing ball. I think this dude is a little

548
00:24:44,640 --> 00:24:47,400
Speaker 1: different than the way he has been painted and portrayed.

549
00:24:47,440 --> 00:24:49,800
Speaker 1: I know he ran a lot at Louisville, but a

550
00:24:49,880 --> 00:24:51,399
Speaker 1: lot of the stuff that they tried to do with

551
00:24:51,480 --> 00:24:54,520
Speaker 1: Louisville has some pro elements. I'm curious to see what

552
00:24:54,680 --> 00:24:58,719
Speaker 1: Marty Moorenwig does in a traditional sense to allow him

553
00:24:58,760 --> 00:25:00,600
Speaker 1: to play the position. I don't think this is gonna

554
00:25:00,600 --> 00:25:03,760
Speaker 1: be a collegiate looking offense when he's in I'm just

555
00:25:03,800 --> 00:25:05,800
Speaker 1: curious to see what he looks out. But I'm expecting

556
00:25:05,880 --> 00:25:07,960
Speaker 1: him to have a pretty big performance doing the brief

557
00:25:08,000 --> 00:25:10,320
Speaker 1: time that he's in because he will be playing against

558
00:25:10,359 --> 00:25:12,399
Speaker 1: the threes and the threes of the guys that he

559
00:25:12,480 --> 00:25:15,159
Speaker 1: dominated on the collegiate level. Can I can I make

560
00:25:15,200 --> 00:25:18,560
Speaker 1: my suggestion though I'm Marty. I believe Marty because I

561
00:25:18,600 --> 00:25:22,240
Speaker 1: was there. I believe Marty Morton was the coordinator when

562
00:25:22,400 --> 00:25:26,760
Speaker 1: VIC against the Washington Redskins had the stretch boot post Jackson,

563
00:25:27,080 --> 00:25:28,840
Speaker 1: do you think about taking a shot right at the gate.

564
00:25:30,280 --> 00:25:31,960
Speaker 1: Do you think about taking a shot right out the

565
00:25:32,119 --> 00:25:35,560
Speaker 1: gate and just let it go. Let's start this thing

566
00:25:35,640 --> 00:25:38,720
Speaker 1: off of the bang. Let's let Lamar Jackson stretch it out. Okay,

567
00:25:38,760 --> 00:25:41,560
Speaker 1: So now all right, so here's what you have if

568
00:25:41,600 --> 00:25:44,680
Speaker 1: you do that, though, oh, you're gonna have controversies. No,

569
00:25:44,760 --> 00:25:46,719
Speaker 1: I'm just saying. I'm just saying. If you dial up

570
00:25:46,800 --> 00:25:49,159
Speaker 1: one of those perfect plays like hey, we will go

571
00:25:49,359 --> 00:25:54,000
Speaker 1: eight T handoff, solid fake Z reverse ex post for

572
00:25:54,160 --> 00:25:56,680
Speaker 1: a touchdown, do you know what it's gonna happen on

573
00:25:56,720 --> 00:25:59,120
Speaker 1: Twitter versus Lamar Jackson throws a shot like that, It's

574
00:25:59,119 --> 00:26:00,879
Speaker 1: gonna be there. It's gonna be the best. I'm just

575
00:26:00,920 --> 00:26:02,880
Speaker 1: saying the best if you want to make your guy,

576
00:26:03,080 --> 00:26:06,240
Speaker 1: your starter feel comfortable. I don't know if Dad is

577
00:26:06,320 --> 00:26:08,720
Speaker 1: the play call. I don't know if I'm John Harbo,

578
00:26:08,800 --> 00:26:10,040
Speaker 1: if I'm gonta sit like no no no no no

579
00:26:10,119 --> 00:26:12,480
Speaker 1: no no no no no no no no no no

580
00:26:12,800 --> 00:26:16,359
Speaker 1: no no. We're not doing that yet. I don't know

581
00:26:16,400 --> 00:26:19,000
Speaker 1: if we're doing that. I just want to see. I

582
00:26:19,080 --> 00:26:23,320
Speaker 1: just want NFL shop to monitor Ravens eight jerseys gets

583
00:26:23,359 --> 00:26:26,159
Speaker 1: sold if that ball is completed. I mean you, no,

584
00:26:26,200 --> 00:26:28,719
Speaker 1: people see a splash player too, so it'll be interesting

585
00:26:28,760 --> 00:26:32,119
Speaker 1: to see how he plays out. It'll be fun. That's

586
00:26:32,119 --> 00:26:33,880
Speaker 1: what we're looking for there. From the from the Ravens,

587
00:26:33,920 --> 00:26:35,480
Speaker 1: how about from the Bear. Something to keep an eye

588
00:26:35,520 --> 00:26:38,080
Speaker 1: on for me. I'm looking at this, uh, this offensive line.

589
00:26:38,080 --> 00:26:39,119
Speaker 1: I think it's got a chance to be one of

590
00:26:39,160 --> 00:26:41,680
Speaker 1: the better offensive lines in the league. James Daniels, a

591
00:26:41,760 --> 00:26:44,800
Speaker 1: rookie from Iowa, can play all three interior spots and

592
00:26:44,880 --> 00:26:47,240
Speaker 1: mactually see if he does get some work moving around

593
00:26:47,280 --> 00:26:49,080
Speaker 1: in there on the inside. I think it's gonna chance

594
00:26:49,080 --> 00:26:50,320
Speaker 1: to be a really good offensive line. I don't think

595
00:26:50,320 --> 00:26:52,919
Speaker 1: we'll see much of Trabisky. I think you'll see probably

596
00:26:52,960 --> 00:26:55,320
Speaker 1: a series and he'll be out of there. But I

597
00:26:55,440 --> 00:26:57,280
Speaker 1: am looking forward to seeing this offense and er Matt

598
00:26:57,320 --> 00:27:00,240
Speaker 1: Naggy and Mark Helfridge how this is all gonna work. Yeah,

599
00:27:00,400 --> 00:27:04,280
Speaker 1: I'm really paying close attention to the opening script because

600
00:27:04,359 --> 00:27:06,399
Speaker 1: this is the first time that will see the Bears

601
00:27:06,600 --> 00:27:08,680
Speaker 1: with a new head coach. I think they put a

602
00:27:08,720 --> 00:27:11,960
Speaker 1: little more time and attention in detail to what the

603
00:27:12,359 --> 00:27:14,720
Speaker 1: first ten to twelve plays would be with Mr Biskuy,

604
00:27:14,760 --> 00:27:17,440
Speaker 1: because like it or not, they're gonna be judged and

605
00:27:17,520 --> 00:27:19,880
Speaker 1: evaluated on how they played this preseason game. And even

606
00:27:19,880 --> 00:27:22,480
Speaker 1: though we say it doesn't matter, it certainly does matter

607
00:27:22,600 --> 00:27:24,560
Speaker 1: in a sense. You want to build some confidence. So

608
00:27:24,720 --> 00:27:26,560
Speaker 1: look at the first ten to twelve plays with your

609
00:27:26,600 --> 00:27:28,840
Speaker 1: whisky is in. Let's see how the verse they get.

610
00:27:28,920 --> 00:27:30,800
Speaker 1: Let's see how they kind of build it. I think

611
00:27:30,840 --> 00:27:33,280
Speaker 1: it would go a long way to telling you what

612
00:27:33,440 --> 00:27:35,920
Speaker 1: they think about him, and it could be a preview

613
00:27:36,040 --> 00:27:38,200
Speaker 1: for how they're going to play with the quarterback that

614
00:27:38,280 --> 00:27:40,760
Speaker 1: they have as diffranchise quarterback. Yeah, I think I might

615
00:27:40,840 --> 00:27:42,480
Speaker 1: even I'm with you, I might even looking more at

616
00:27:42,560 --> 00:27:44,720
Speaker 1: play calls than playmakers in this game. I don't know

617
00:27:44,720 --> 00:27:46,760
Speaker 1: how long we're gonna see the starters, so but pay

618
00:27:46,800 --> 00:27:49,000
Speaker 1: attention to how this offense functions and how it works

619
00:27:49,320 --> 00:27:51,119
Speaker 1: and be able to see what it's gonna look like

620
00:27:51,160 --> 00:27:52,960
Speaker 1: here for this new look Bears offense. That'll be fun

621
00:27:53,040 --> 00:27:55,240
Speaker 1: thing to keep an eye on there. Buck As we

622
00:27:55,400 --> 00:27:57,920
Speaker 1: kind of moved to the next part of the show here,

623
00:27:58,119 --> 00:28:00,600
Speaker 1: I'm I tweet this out there the day because whenever

624
00:28:00,640 --> 00:28:03,720
Speaker 1: Reggie Bush's highlights come across Twitter, it's still the best.

625
00:28:03,880 --> 00:28:06,679
Speaker 1: It's the best highlight tape I think I've ever seen. Unbelievable.

626
00:28:07,000 --> 00:28:09,080
Speaker 1: Like the little clip that that you saw, I saw

627
00:28:09,160 --> 00:28:12,240
Speaker 1: it elsewhere. It's the same thing. Like I tell people

628
00:28:12,359 --> 00:28:14,840
Speaker 1: this look. You said it was the highest grade you've

629
00:28:14,880 --> 00:28:17,120
Speaker 1: ever given. It's the highest grade that I ever gave

630
00:28:17,240 --> 00:28:20,320
Speaker 1: as a scout. I mean, the dude had a combination

631
00:28:20,400 --> 00:28:24,480
Speaker 1: of stuff that you just absolutely want. He had speed,

632
00:28:24,800 --> 00:28:27,639
Speaker 1: He had stuffed starting quickness. He had big playability. He

633
00:28:27,720 --> 00:28:30,320
Speaker 1: could catch the ball off the backfield, he could return

634
00:28:30,560 --> 00:28:33,560
Speaker 1: kicks and punch. He was a five tool player at

635
00:28:33,600 --> 00:28:37,920
Speaker 1: the position. Then he had crazy production in big games

636
00:28:38,040 --> 00:28:42,480
Speaker 1: against great competition. I mean, when you go when you're

637
00:28:42,560 --> 00:28:44,280
Speaker 1: a scout and you're kind of going through and you're

638
00:28:44,360 --> 00:28:48,720
Speaker 1: checking boxes. He checked off every box and so he

639
00:28:48,920 --> 00:28:51,040
Speaker 1: was worthy of getting the grade that he had. Now

640
00:28:51,120 --> 00:28:53,440
Speaker 1: we can talk about his pro career and whether he

641
00:28:53,960 --> 00:28:57,680
Speaker 1: um exceeded expectations of failed to live up to him. Yes,

642
00:28:57,760 --> 00:28:59,360
Speaker 1: he was second pick, Like, did he live up to

643
00:28:59,360 --> 00:29:01,520
Speaker 1: all this stuff? Know? But look, dude, played in the

644
00:29:01,600 --> 00:29:04,040
Speaker 1: league for eleven years. He went to a Super Bowl.

645
00:29:04,240 --> 00:29:06,440
Speaker 1: He was a key member of the Super Bowl squad,

646
00:29:06,520 --> 00:29:08,960
Speaker 1: catching the ball out the backfield and making plays. I

647
00:29:09,080 --> 00:29:12,400
Speaker 1: cannot call his career a failure. Maybe didn't live up

648
00:29:12,400 --> 00:29:15,040
Speaker 1: to the hype, but based on what he was in college,

649
00:29:15,200 --> 00:29:18,600
Speaker 1: he absolutely deserved one of those marquee grades. Yeah, he was.

650
00:29:19,200 --> 00:29:21,000
Speaker 1: He was a unique talent and I wish you could

651
00:29:21,000 --> 00:29:22,920
Speaker 1: have stayed healthy. And even more, I wish he would

652
00:29:22,960 --> 00:29:25,800
Speaker 1: have came along a decade later because the way the

653
00:29:25,920 --> 00:29:28,000
Speaker 1: NFL said, can you imagine what he would do in

654
00:29:28,280 --> 00:29:31,240
Speaker 1: this day and age like this, the way the game

655
00:29:31,360 --> 00:29:34,920
Speaker 1: is played now, is Taylor made for him? And also

656
00:29:35,000 --> 00:29:37,680
Speaker 1: if you think about a Christian McCaffrey being kind of

657
00:29:37,760 --> 00:29:40,520
Speaker 1: drafted at eight and the way the Panthers are trying

658
00:29:40,560 --> 00:29:44,520
Speaker 1: to find ways to create touches for him in this game.

659
00:29:44,880 --> 00:29:46,680
Speaker 1: Reggie Bush would have been right up there with se

660
00:29:46,800 --> 00:29:49,320
Speaker 1: Kwon Barkley drafted probably in the same spot at number two.

661
00:29:49,680 --> 00:29:52,200
Speaker 1: A team would take him and they would really use

662
00:29:52,360 --> 00:29:54,320
Speaker 1: him the way that he should have been used throughout

663
00:29:54,320 --> 00:29:57,840
Speaker 1: his career. Monetary his touches as opposed to his rushing attempts.

664
00:29:58,080 --> 00:30:00,520
Speaker 1: He absolutely would could have been a guy that would

665
00:30:00,560 --> 00:30:03,800
Speaker 1: average over a hundred plus scrimmagears a game and been

666
00:30:03,840 --> 00:30:08,000
Speaker 1: a very, very successful player for the next decade, no question, buck.

667
00:30:08,040 --> 00:30:09,400
Speaker 1: I thought it would be fun, though, on the heels

668
00:30:09,440 --> 00:30:12,240
Speaker 1: of this little discussion, to throw out there to folks

669
00:30:12,280 --> 00:30:14,120
Speaker 1: asking what the highest grades we gave. Now, I'm not

670
00:30:14,200 --> 00:30:16,080
Speaker 1: saying he's ended up being the best players obviously Reggie

671
00:30:16,120 --> 00:30:17,760
Speaker 1: Bush and end up being the greatest player of all time,

672
00:30:18,400 --> 00:30:20,360
Speaker 1: but in terms of their college grades when they were

673
00:30:20,400 --> 00:30:22,000
Speaker 1: coming into the draft. So I went back and looked

674
00:30:22,040 --> 00:30:24,600
Speaker 1: at my highest three grades, and some of them, like I.

675
00:30:24,680 --> 00:30:27,480
Speaker 1: I for some reason, I thought I had had evaluated

676
00:30:27,480 --> 00:30:29,200
Speaker 1: Adrian Peterson. I had just done him for fun. I

677
00:30:29,320 --> 00:30:31,560
Speaker 1: was not assigned him when I was with the Ravens

678
00:30:31,600 --> 00:30:33,000
Speaker 1: when he came out, so I did not actually have

679
00:30:33,040 --> 00:30:35,200
Speaker 1: a grade in the system on him, although he would

680
00:30:35,200 --> 00:30:36,600
Speaker 1: have been he would have been way up there. But

681
00:30:36,720 --> 00:30:38,840
Speaker 1: for me, I had in terms of the highest graded

682
00:30:38,880 --> 00:30:41,560
Speaker 1: guys going back to two thousand three that I evaluated,

683
00:30:41,920 --> 00:30:44,080
Speaker 1: Reggie Bush the highest grade, the only perfect grade I

684
00:30:44,120 --> 00:30:47,840
Speaker 1: ever gave out, Uh, Andrew Luck second highest grade that

685
00:30:47,880 --> 00:30:50,080
Speaker 1: I gave out with him coming out of Stanford, and

686
00:30:50,480 --> 00:30:52,840
Speaker 1: believe or not Buck The third highest grade that I

687
00:30:52,920 --> 00:30:56,360
Speaker 1: gave out was this past year, sa Kwon Barkley. Oh

688
00:30:57,240 --> 00:31:00,320
Speaker 1: how about that? So those are the three highest rate players.

689
00:31:00,360 --> 00:31:02,160
Speaker 1: I guess I have a thing for running backs here man,

690
00:31:02,240 --> 00:31:04,640
Speaker 1: two of the top three we're running backs, you know,

691
00:31:04,800 --> 00:31:06,840
Speaker 1: Like that's funny because I'm going back, I'm looking through

692
00:31:06,840 --> 00:31:09,400
Speaker 1: the list. Like with Reggie Bush, I gave Julius Peppers

693
00:31:09,440 --> 00:31:12,240
Speaker 1: like a ridiculous grade. Um, but it's kind of like

694
00:31:12,320 --> 00:31:17,000
Speaker 1: the same thing. Like the common traits are like man freakercize, athleticism,

695
00:31:17,280 --> 00:31:20,080
Speaker 1: excellent production, and then they have a special quality Like

696
00:31:20,200 --> 00:31:22,160
Speaker 1: for me, it was just dude as a two sports star,

697
00:31:22,280 --> 00:31:24,320
Speaker 1: Like imagine what he could be when he becomes a

698
00:31:24,400 --> 00:31:27,080
Speaker 1: football only player. And then I had a big grade

699
00:31:27,120 --> 00:31:30,320
Speaker 1: on Andrew Luck. And for Andrew Luck, like he checked

700
00:31:30,360 --> 00:31:32,320
Speaker 1: off all the boxes, like he was a talented player.

701
00:31:32,360 --> 00:31:35,880
Speaker 1: He controlled everything. He dominated the game, the way that

702
00:31:36,000 --> 00:31:38,800
Speaker 1: he played, and when you dig into his character and

703
00:31:38,840 --> 00:31:40,600
Speaker 1: the way that he worked in his football i Q

704
00:31:40,800 --> 00:31:43,720
Speaker 1: and all those other things. I mean when you look

705
00:31:43,800 --> 00:31:46,280
Speaker 1: for can't miss things, he was kind of a can't

706
00:31:46,360 --> 00:31:48,520
Speaker 1: miss dude coming out of college. So, Yeah, those guys

707
00:31:48,600 --> 00:31:52,320
Speaker 1: typically have all the things that deserve the high grades

708
00:31:52,360 --> 00:31:54,680
Speaker 1: and the big marks that they get. Yeah. One, I

709
00:31:54,800 --> 00:31:56,160
Speaker 1: was thinking of some of the things those guys have

710
00:31:56,280 --> 00:31:58,960
Speaker 1: in common. Um, all the players that we've talked about

711
00:31:59,000 --> 00:32:01,920
Speaker 1: right hair back, the word etholic coming out was outstanding.

712
00:32:02,200 --> 00:32:04,120
Speaker 1: And the other thing maybe a little bit underrated with

713
00:32:04,160 --> 00:32:08,360
Speaker 1: all these guys. Intelligence. These guys were all extremely smart dudes,

714
00:32:08,480 --> 00:32:11,560
Speaker 1: both on the field and off the field. Very impressive,

715
00:32:12,000 --> 00:32:16,200
Speaker 1: very very impressive. Um. I Q matters, UM, because what

716
00:32:16,480 --> 00:32:18,360
Speaker 1: what you ideal? You're like, we always talked about it

717
00:32:18,400 --> 00:32:21,120
Speaker 1: when I'm talking to young guys. UM, what you want

718
00:32:21,160 --> 00:32:23,320
Speaker 1: as a blue chip talent with a blue color mentality?

719
00:32:23,600 --> 00:32:26,200
Speaker 1: You want a guy that is a five star recruit,

720
00:32:26,480 --> 00:32:28,720
Speaker 1: a guy that can have all the things that you

721
00:32:28,800 --> 00:32:32,200
Speaker 1: look for from a physical standpoint, but also kind of

722
00:32:32,320 --> 00:32:35,560
Speaker 1: has like that that workmen like mentality, meaning he's gonna

723
00:32:35,560 --> 00:32:37,680
Speaker 1: go to work every day. He's gonna outwork the competition.

724
00:32:37,880 --> 00:32:39,600
Speaker 1: He's gonna kind of set the pace for the rest

725
00:32:39,640 --> 00:32:41,960
Speaker 1: of your squad. All of those guys that we have

726
00:32:42,080 --> 00:32:45,640
Speaker 1: mentioned have those kind of traits that football character matters

727
00:32:45,720 --> 00:32:48,160
Speaker 1: when it comes to giving out that final grade. Is

728
00:32:48,200 --> 00:32:49,840
Speaker 1: one of the reasons why we have been so high

729
00:32:49,880 --> 00:32:52,640
Speaker 1: on the guys that we mentioned, no question, So I

730
00:32:52,840 --> 00:32:55,200
Speaker 1: look fun little talk. They're talking about the top grades

731
00:32:55,240 --> 00:32:58,080
Speaker 1: we ever doled out when we were scouting and going

732
00:32:58,120 --> 00:33:01,040
Speaker 1: over the last decade plus son names there. Buck. Before

733
00:33:01,040 --> 00:33:02,720
Speaker 1: we get out of here, I always like to take

734
00:33:02,720 --> 00:33:04,400
Speaker 1: people a little bit behind the curtain in terms of

735
00:33:04,480 --> 00:33:06,880
Speaker 1: what goes on in the scouting world during this time

736
00:33:06,920 --> 00:33:10,400
Speaker 1: of year. So the preseason games start and you're gonna

737
00:33:10,440 --> 00:33:12,960
Speaker 1: have scouts that are assigned to different teams. So these

738
00:33:13,000 --> 00:33:15,640
Speaker 1: are college area scouts. They're out usually covering you know,

739
00:33:15,800 --> 00:33:18,160
Speaker 1: colleges and looking towards the draft. But during this time,

740
00:33:18,200 --> 00:33:20,560
Speaker 1: you're during preseason, we cross train a little bit and

741
00:33:20,640 --> 00:33:23,120
Speaker 1: do some work with the pro staff. You might be

742
00:33:23,160 --> 00:33:25,520
Speaker 1: assigned a couple of teams. So if you're a scout,

743
00:33:25,640 --> 00:33:28,040
Speaker 1: Buck and you have you've been assigned kind of the

744
00:33:28,080 --> 00:33:32,000
Speaker 1: back end roster guys for the Bears, uh and in

745
00:33:32,120 --> 00:33:34,400
Speaker 1: this game the Baltimore Ravens. You would have both those teams.

746
00:33:34,440 --> 00:33:36,560
Speaker 1: You're up in the press box, take folks a little

747
00:33:36,560 --> 00:33:38,000
Speaker 1: bit behind the curtain and tell them what the what

748
00:33:38,120 --> 00:33:40,480
Speaker 1: goes on there. We know this is unique for a

749
00:33:40,520 --> 00:33:42,960
Speaker 1: college scout because it's your first time really kind of

750
00:33:43,040 --> 00:33:45,320
Speaker 1: going in the game and having to look at so

751
00:33:45,640 --> 00:33:48,400
Speaker 1: many different guys on both squads. You would do it some,

752
00:33:48,560 --> 00:33:50,480
Speaker 1: but you won't do it to this degree. And also

753
00:33:50,520 --> 00:33:52,400
Speaker 1: because you kind of out of your your rim a

754
00:33:52,480 --> 00:33:54,680
Speaker 1: little bit looking at pro talents. So when I get

755
00:33:54,720 --> 00:33:57,320
Speaker 1: there early at this game, so if we're talking about

756
00:33:57,880 --> 00:34:00,719
Speaker 1: game time is like eight o'clock us him, the pregame

757
00:34:00,760 --> 00:34:03,800
Speaker 1: warm ups are gonna be somewhere between six thirty. And said,

758
00:34:03,840 --> 00:34:05,600
Speaker 1: you want to get there early so you can get

759
00:34:05,680 --> 00:34:08,920
Speaker 1: you set up. I've never been a Binoculus guy. I

760
00:34:08,960 --> 00:34:11,719
Speaker 1: know you probably were. That's just never been my thing.

761
00:34:11,840 --> 00:34:13,759
Speaker 1: But I want to get the flip card. I want

762
00:34:13,760 --> 00:34:15,960
Speaker 1: to highlight the guys that I need to know. I

763
00:34:16,040 --> 00:34:18,239
Speaker 1: want to have a couple of different colored pens and

764
00:34:18,360 --> 00:34:20,680
Speaker 1: pencils to make sure that I can write some notes,

765
00:34:21,080 --> 00:34:24,120
Speaker 1: and then I'm trying to really identify them and figure

766
00:34:24,120 --> 00:34:26,920
Speaker 1: out whether they line up. And then during the process

767
00:34:27,000 --> 00:34:28,880
Speaker 1: of trying to figure out where they line up, I

768
00:34:28,960 --> 00:34:30,560
Speaker 1: didn't want to see if I can catch a glimpse

769
00:34:30,600 --> 00:34:33,120
Speaker 1: of what they're doing on the field through the show speed,

770
00:34:33,200 --> 00:34:35,480
Speaker 1: through they flash, or they make a play that kind

771
00:34:35,520 --> 00:34:37,319
Speaker 1: of makes me kind of be like, ok I need

772
00:34:37,360 --> 00:34:38,919
Speaker 1: to make sure I go back and watch this guy

773
00:34:39,280 --> 00:34:41,000
Speaker 1: and kind of have a little note on him. If

774
00:34:41,040 --> 00:34:43,360
Speaker 1: it's his speed, if it's his hands, if it's something

775
00:34:43,440 --> 00:34:46,200
Speaker 1: that stands out. And we're kind of doing this throughout

776
00:34:46,239 --> 00:34:49,680
Speaker 1: the process of everything trying to identify who those guys are.

777
00:34:50,400 --> 00:34:51,920
Speaker 1: One of the funny stories that I can tell you

778
00:34:52,040 --> 00:34:54,439
Speaker 1: was I had to go and watch San Diego before

779
00:34:54,480 --> 00:34:56,839
Speaker 1: they were the l A Charges and it was Antonio

780
00:34:56,960 --> 00:34:59,840
Speaker 1: Gates's first season, and they gave him to me. I

781
00:34:59,920 --> 00:35:02,000
Speaker 1: was like, okay, all right, I'm looking He was number

782
00:35:02,080 --> 00:35:05,040
Speaker 1: forty nine, I think during that first preseason, so I'm

783
00:35:05,080 --> 00:35:06,400
Speaker 1: looking at him like, all right, I got the I

784
00:35:06,440 --> 00:35:10,960
Speaker 1: got the god the basketball player. Yeah, okay's he's a

785
00:35:11,160 --> 00:35:13,359
Speaker 1: a I mean what so you just kind of throw

786
00:35:13,400 --> 00:35:14,840
Speaker 1: a look great on him and send it in like

787
00:35:15,560 --> 00:35:17,440
Speaker 1: it may have been like a five oh five one

788
00:35:17,560 --> 00:35:20,480
Speaker 1: like Okay, maybe bottom of the roster guy. Little did

789
00:35:20,520 --> 00:35:24,680
Speaker 1: I know you become a Hall of Fame caliber player.

790
00:35:24,920 --> 00:35:26,799
Speaker 1: But those are kind of things you're trying to really

791
00:35:27,200 --> 00:35:30,200
Speaker 1: tip off the pro department awesome guys to look at

792
00:35:30,360 --> 00:35:33,320
Speaker 1: if they get cut. Here's what I saw briefly. I

793
00:35:33,400 --> 00:35:35,320
Speaker 1: saw some size, I saw some quickness. I saw a

794
00:35:35,360 --> 00:35:37,839
Speaker 1: little playmaking ability. You may want to check him out.

795
00:35:37,880 --> 00:35:40,359
Speaker 1: If he doesn't make this sque Yeah, you put him.

796
00:35:40,400 --> 00:35:42,520
Speaker 1: You put those players you're a signed. And the way

797
00:35:42,600 --> 00:35:44,360
Speaker 1: we did the teams that worked for where guys drafting

798
00:35:44,400 --> 00:35:47,520
Speaker 1: the fifth, fifth, sixth, and seventh round currently, so this

799
00:35:47,719 --> 00:35:51,200
Speaker 1: year's fifth through seventh rounders, all the priority free agents

800
00:35:51,600 --> 00:35:55,200
Speaker 1: from this year, and then they've pro staff will identified

801
00:35:55,480 --> 00:35:57,839
Speaker 1: maybe three to five guys that are kind of roster

802
00:35:57,920 --> 00:35:59,440
Speaker 1: bubble guys. Maybe they've been on the team for a

803
00:35:59,440 --> 00:36:01,799
Speaker 1: couple of years, but they're in danger of potentially being cut.

804
00:36:02,239 --> 00:36:04,000
Speaker 1: So you end up going into a game and you've

805
00:36:04,080 --> 00:36:08,160
Speaker 1: probably got, gosh, you've probably got thirty guys from each

806
00:36:08,239 --> 00:36:09,840
Speaker 1: team that you're trying to keep an eye on, and

807
00:36:10,000 --> 00:36:11,600
Speaker 1: most of them once especially once you get to the

808
00:36:11,680 --> 00:36:13,759
Speaker 1: you know, third week of the preseason, these guys don't

809
00:36:13,760 --> 00:36:15,279
Speaker 1: even come into the game. So you get to the

810
00:36:15,680 --> 00:36:17,960
Speaker 1: mid late third quarter, so you're there just kind of

811
00:36:18,000 --> 00:36:20,080
Speaker 1: taking in a game almost like a fan for the

812
00:36:20,160 --> 00:36:22,080
Speaker 1: first half of the game. While the starters are playing,

813
00:36:22,080 --> 00:36:23,960
Speaker 1: you know they're gonna make the team. We're not responsible

814
00:36:24,040 --> 00:36:26,200
Speaker 1: to do much work on them. Uh, it's just those

815
00:36:26,239 --> 00:36:28,759
Speaker 1: back end roster guys that you wonder, you know, are

816
00:36:28,800 --> 00:36:30,600
Speaker 1: they going to be on that roster bubble, That's who

817
00:36:30,600 --> 00:36:33,680
Speaker 1: you're focusing on. Uh so, Uh, it definitely gets a

818
00:36:33,680 --> 00:36:35,440
Speaker 1: little hectic once they all kind of come into the

819
00:36:35,480 --> 00:36:37,400
Speaker 1: game at the exact same time. But you're trying to

820
00:36:37,400 --> 00:36:39,440
Speaker 1: put him in buckets for your pro department, for your

821
00:36:39,520 --> 00:36:41,560
Speaker 1: the head of pro scouting, trying to put him in

822
00:36:41,600 --> 00:36:44,200
Speaker 1: a bucket of Okay, I would claim this player if

823
00:36:44,239 --> 00:36:45,759
Speaker 1: he got cut, like he's good enough to be on

824
00:36:45,840 --> 00:36:48,399
Speaker 1: our active on our fifty three man roster. So there's

825
00:36:48,400 --> 00:36:51,200
Speaker 1: the claim guys. Uh, there's guys I think would be

826
00:36:51,320 --> 00:36:54,239
Speaker 1: great practice squad players, So I would immediately try and

827
00:36:54,280 --> 00:36:56,719
Speaker 1: sign them to the practice squad, no question. Uh, they're

828
00:36:56,760 --> 00:36:59,680
Speaker 1: worthy of that. And then there's workout guys. You're saying, Okay,

829
00:36:59,680 --> 00:37:00,920
Speaker 1: I don't know if he's I don't know if he's

830
00:37:00,920 --> 00:37:03,400
Speaker 1: worth a practice squad spot, but he's definitely worth bringing

831
00:37:03,440 --> 00:37:05,480
Speaker 1: in so we can work him out, uh and kind

832
00:37:05,480 --> 00:37:07,040
Speaker 1: of keep him on the radar in case we have

833
00:37:07,200 --> 00:37:10,080
Speaker 1: some roster attrition as the year goes along. Yeah, I mean,

834
00:37:10,120 --> 00:37:13,520
Speaker 1: I think the main thing you want to see if

835
00:37:13,600 --> 00:37:17,040
Speaker 1: you can find anybody that flashes enough that makes him

836
00:37:17,080 --> 00:37:19,800
Speaker 1: worthy you're bringing in for a workout or even claiming

837
00:37:20,200 --> 00:37:22,360
Speaker 1: at the deadline. And so if you can find some

838
00:37:22,480 --> 00:37:24,360
Speaker 1: of those guys, the thing is you have to be

839
00:37:24,520 --> 00:37:27,239
Speaker 1: really really organized. And what I've learned is if you

840
00:37:27,480 --> 00:37:30,480
Speaker 1: know a little bit about those players prior to getting

841
00:37:30,520 --> 00:37:32,719
Speaker 1: to the game, it certainly helps. Whether they were in

842
00:37:32,840 --> 00:37:34,680
Speaker 1: your area or you're able to pop in a little

843
00:37:34,719 --> 00:37:36,759
Speaker 1: tape just to get a kind of feel for who

844
00:37:36,840 --> 00:37:39,360
Speaker 1: they are, so then you can kind of make a

845
00:37:39,480 --> 00:37:42,520
Speaker 1: quick snap determination. This guy's a little better than I

846
00:37:42,600 --> 00:37:44,520
Speaker 1: thought he was when I saw him in college and

847
00:37:44,560 --> 00:37:46,879
Speaker 1: I was projecting him, But now did I see him

848
00:37:46,920 --> 00:37:49,520
Speaker 1: pros versus pros? Yeah, I think this is someone who

849
00:37:49,560 --> 00:37:52,200
Speaker 1: could help our team in some capacity as a practice

850
00:37:52,200 --> 00:37:54,920
Speaker 1: squad player or a bottom of the roster player that

851
00:37:55,000 --> 00:37:57,799
Speaker 1: eventually develops into a guy that maybe can contribute down

852
00:37:57,840 --> 00:38:00,680
Speaker 1: the line. Yeah, that's that's a great point. So that's

853
00:38:00,920 --> 00:38:02,680
Speaker 1: that's kind of what goes on behind the scenes. That's

854
00:38:02,719 --> 00:38:05,680
Speaker 1: what scouts are doing here during the preseason, and then

855
00:38:05,800 --> 00:38:08,000
Speaker 1: of course they're getting out as colleges are getting ready

856
00:38:08,000 --> 00:38:09,920
Speaker 1: to crank up. You're getting out and doing your two

857
00:38:10,000 --> 00:38:12,040
Speaker 1: day visits during the during the week, and then you're

858
00:38:12,040 --> 00:38:14,920
Speaker 1: probably getting out to a preseason game here on the weekend.

859
00:38:15,000 --> 00:38:17,240
Speaker 1: So you're kind of cross training, doing both college stuff,

860
00:38:17,239 --> 00:38:19,080
Speaker 1: preparing for next year's draft as well as keeping an

861
00:38:19,120 --> 00:38:22,359
Speaker 1: eye on this year's uh potential roster editions for your club.

862
00:38:22,520 --> 00:38:24,920
Speaker 1: So there you have. That's what goes on behind the scenes.

863
00:38:25,239 --> 00:38:27,000
Speaker 1: But we gotta run, man, anything else you want to

864
00:38:27,040 --> 00:38:29,239
Speaker 1: add what you're working on, you know, I'm just working

865
00:38:29,280 --> 00:38:30,960
Speaker 1: on a notebook, and a lot of the notebook is

866
00:38:31,000 --> 00:38:34,200
Speaker 1: really taking snippets and tippets from all of our reporters

867
00:38:34,239 --> 00:38:36,600
Speaker 1: that are out on the scene a training camp, listening

868
00:38:36,640 --> 00:38:38,120
Speaker 1: to what this is so I can follow up with

869
00:38:38,200 --> 00:38:40,000
Speaker 1: some phone calls to my guys to kind of get

870
00:38:40,000 --> 00:38:42,279
Speaker 1: a little more insight on some of the news. But

871
00:38:42,480 --> 00:38:45,680
Speaker 1: this week, what I'm doing is something unique. I am
