Now we were back in the friendly 12 00:00:38,520 --> 00:00:40,640 Speaker 1: confines of the studio here in Coulbra City. Buck, How 13 00:00:40,720 --> 00:00:42,920 Speaker 1: you doing. I'm good, I'm good. A lot of football 14 00:00:42,960 --> 00:00:47,680 Speaker 1: things going on alsar game. We're beginning to see, guys 15 00:00:47,760 --> 00:00:49,440 Speaker 1: feel a lout. All the roles, all the coach and 16 00:00:49,520 --> 00:00:51,640 Speaker 1: hires should be about to be done. You saw the 17 00:00:51,720 --> 00:00:54,000 Speaker 1: junior manager roles. A lot of stuff going on, all right. 18 00:00:54,040 --> 00:00:56,800 Speaker 1: So the stuff we're gonna touch on on this episode here, 19 00:00:56,800 --> 00:00:58,640 Speaker 1: we're gonna have another episode that will come out in 20 00:00:58,680 --> 00:01:01,360 Speaker 1: that day or so where we preview the Super Bowl. 21 00:01:01,400 --> 00:01:03,280 Speaker 1: So if you're looking for super Bowl talk, we'll have 22 00:01:03,320 --> 00:01:05,399 Speaker 1: you covered on that on another episode. But I thought 23 00:01:05,440 --> 00:01:07,600 Speaker 1: we'd kind of cover up some of the uh, the 24 00:01:07,600 --> 00:01:09,640 Speaker 1: other things you mentioned that have taken place over the 25 00:01:09,720 --> 00:01:11,800 Speaker 1: last week or so. A couple of topics we need 26 00:01:11,840 --> 00:01:14,080 Speaker 1: to hit here, John Lynch and definitely gonna hit that, 27 00:01:14,160 --> 00:01:17,240 Speaker 1: Chris Ballard going to the to the Coultist GM, touch 28 00:01:17,319 --> 00:01:19,120 Speaker 1: on what we saw down at the Senior Bowl, and 29 00:01:19,160 --> 00:01:20,920 Speaker 1: then we'll we'll get into a little bit about our 30 00:01:20,920 --> 00:01:23,520 Speaker 1: scouting competition and update people on what's going on there. 31 00:01:23,560 --> 00:01:25,680 Speaker 1: So for those that haven't seen, we do have a 32 00:01:25,680 --> 00:01:28,880 Speaker 1: pretty cool scouting competition for you to participate in. We'll 33 00:01:28,920 --> 00:01:30,399 Speaker 1: get to that a little bit later on in the show. 34 00:01:30,440 --> 00:01:33,240 Speaker 1: But Buck, first of all, I mean, I think this 35 00:01:33,319 --> 00:01:35,280 Speaker 1: is you know, I got home from the Senior Bowl 36 00:01:36,120 --> 00:01:39,400 Speaker 1: and uh, and I was wiped. So, uh, I ended 37 00:01:39,440 --> 00:01:42,080 Speaker 1: up taking a nap. Yeah, I guess was this next day? Yeah, 38 00:01:42,080 --> 00:01:43,680 Speaker 1: so I'm taking a nap and then I woke up 39 00:01:43,680 --> 00:01:45,920 Speaker 1: and I had a zillion missed calls and messages and 40 00:01:45,920 --> 00:01:48,600 Speaker 1: I was like, something's going on. And then I when 41 00:01:48,640 --> 00:01:50,760 Speaker 1: I pushed the button on my phone, the little NFL 42 00:01:50,800 --> 00:01:52,720 Speaker 1: Alert showed up and said John Lynch has just been 43 00:01:52,800 --> 00:01:54,920 Speaker 1: hired as the GM of forty nine, and went, WHOA, 44 00:01:55,680 --> 00:01:58,280 Speaker 1: I mean, that's a big one. It's a big one. 45 00:01:58,320 --> 00:02:01,480 Speaker 1: Now I'm gonna say this, uh uh. As a former player, 46 00:02:01,520 --> 00:02:03,920 Speaker 1: I love when former players get an opportunity because some 47 00:02:04,040 --> 00:02:05,960 Speaker 1: will say that sometimes there's a little stigma when it 48 00:02:06,000 --> 00:02:08,560 Speaker 1: comes to a players. So I certainly can appreciate John 49 00:02:08,639 --> 00:02:12,520 Speaker 1: Lynch getting an opportunity to run an organization. That's something 50 00:02:12,560 --> 00:02:15,760 Speaker 1: that a bunch of former players aspired to do. And 51 00:02:15,880 --> 00:02:18,639 Speaker 1: I recognize that he's a Hall of Fame finalist, he 52 00:02:18,680 --> 00:02:20,720 Speaker 1: has a fifteen year career, He's won a Super Bowl, 53 00:02:20,800 --> 00:02:24,720 Speaker 1: he has great pedigree having played under Bill Washton Stanford. 54 00:02:25,040 --> 00:02:28,240 Speaker 1: But the thing is this job that he's stepping into, 55 00:02:28,520 --> 00:02:31,160 Speaker 1: he doesn't have any front office experience. And you're talking 56 00:02:31,200 --> 00:02:33,200 Speaker 1: about a plumb job, one of the best jobs you 57 00:02:33,200 --> 00:02:35,400 Speaker 1: can get when you think about the franchise history that 58 00:02:35,440 --> 00:02:38,480 Speaker 1: San Francisco forty Niners have, and so when you don't 59 00:02:38,560 --> 00:02:41,799 Speaker 1: have experience, the thing that I worry about is will 60 00:02:41,840 --> 00:02:44,840 Speaker 1: the job be too much for him? Unless he surrounds 61 00:02:44,880 --> 00:02:48,040 Speaker 1: himself with a village, a village of smart personnel guys 62 00:02:48,040 --> 00:02:51,880 Speaker 1: that can kind of walk him through until he's ready. Um, 63 00:02:51,919 --> 00:02:53,720 Speaker 1: but it's just tough. It's just tough to kind of 64 00:02:53,760 --> 00:02:57,399 Speaker 1: step into this job not necessarily prepare for the rigors 65 00:02:57,440 --> 00:03:01,480 Speaker 1: they go into building a franchise us, let alone all 66 00:03:01,520 --> 00:03:04,040 Speaker 1: the day to day responsibilities that the general manager has 67 00:03:04,080 --> 00:03:06,680 Speaker 1: to deal with. Now we've seen some some foreign players 68 00:03:06,720 --> 00:03:08,359 Speaker 1: have a lot of success in this role. I was 69 00:03:08,400 --> 00:03:10,880 Speaker 1: around Ozzy, knew something with the Baltimore Ravens and the 70 00:03:10,919 --> 00:03:12,919 Speaker 1: thing about Ozzie though he kind of came up through 71 00:03:13,000 --> 00:03:15,160 Speaker 1: now he was just he came in fact, when I 72 00:03:15,200 --> 00:03:19,359 Speaker 1: was coming out of school in Ozzy, Mike Lombardi and 73 00:03:19,400 --> 00:03:22,280 Speaker 1: Bill Belichick came and worked me out a week before 74 00:03:22,280 --> 00:03:24,440 Speaker 1: the draft. Ozzy was the one that put me through 75 00:03:24,440 --> 00:03:26,560 Speaker 1: the workout. I think he was. He's doing me feel 76 00:03:26,639 --> 00:03:29,480 Speaker 1: hockey balls, like he's told me different stuff. So, yes, 77 00:03:29,800 --> 00:03:33,360 Speaker 1: Ozzy went through probably would say the normal progressive training 78 00:03:33,520 --> 00:03:36,560 Speaker 1: to go up and so without training, I'm not saying 79 00:03:36,600 --> 00:03:39,000 Speaker 1: it's impossible, but I do think it's hard, and you 80 00:03:39,160 --> 00:03:42,680 Speaker 1: do face a steeper learning curve because you haven't necessarily 81 00:03:43,080 --> 00:03:45,000 Speaker 1: done some of the things from the bottom floor before 82 00:03:45,040 --> 00:03:47,080 Speaker 1: you in the penthouse and John Elway of course ran 83 00:03:47,120 --> 00:03:49,280 Speaker 1: the arena team for a while and got the experience 84 00:03:49,320 --> 00:03:52,480 Speaker 1: that comes along with that. But here's the thing we 85 00:03:52,520 --> 00:03:54,640 Speaker 1: talked about, surrounding yourself with good people. He hired a 86 00:03:54,640 --> 00:03:56,680 Speaker 1: guy we know really well on Adam Peters, is sharp, 87 00:03:57,120 --> 00:04:00,000 Speaker 1: coming from the Denver Broncos, been with the New England Patriots. 88 00:04:00,000 --> 00:04:02,240 Speaker 1: I think he was probably there. Yeah, he started, he started, 89 00:04:02,280 --> 00:04:04,920 Speaker 1: he started with the Page, then he's with the Broncos, 90 00:04:04,960 --> 00:04:07,920 Speaker 1: and so I'm sure they developed a relationship somewhere along 91 00:04:07,920 --> 00:04:10,160 Speaker 1: the line during that time in Denver. Yeah, So having 92 00:04:10,200 --> 00:04:11,800 Speaker 1: Adam there is is kind of a right hand man, 93 00:04:11,920 --> 00:04:13,920 Speaker 1: is going to help him. So part of the deal 94 00:04:14,000 --> 00:04:16,000 Speaker 1: is having good people around you. I think he'll I 95 00:04:16,080 --> 00:04:17,520 Speaker 1: think he'll do that. I think he'll get the right 96 00:04:17,520 --> 00:04:20,080 Speaker 1: people around him. Here's what it all boils down. Because 97 00:04:20,080 --> 00:04:22,120 Speaker 1: we can talk about foreign player paid, your dues, didn't 98 00:04:22,120 --> 00:04:24,520 Speaker 1: pay you whatever, It's all gonna come down to, can 99 00:04:24,520 --> 00:04:27,160 Speaker 1: they get the quarterback right? To get the quarterback right. 100 00:04:27,160 --> 00:04:29,240 Speaker 1: If they get the quarterback right, it's probably a good 101 00:04:29,279 --> 00:04:31,599 Speaker 1: chance this is gonna work out well because John Lynch 102 00:04:31,640 --> 00:04:34,120 Speaker 1: is a smart dude. They don't get the quarterback right, 103 00:04:34,360 --> 00:04:36,279 Speaker 1: it's not gonna happen. It's not gonna happen. And this 104 00:04:36,320 --> 00:04:38,039 Speaker 1: is what I'll say now. And I know I talked 105 00:04:38,040 --> 00:04:40,000 Speaker 1: about the lack of experience, but this is what I 106 00:04:40,040 --> 00:04:43,080 Speaker 1: will say. When you've been around teams have been successful, 107 00:04:43,520 --> 00:04:45,840 Speaker 1: you know what it should look like. So I'm sure 108 00:04:45,880 --> 00:04:48,039 Speaker 1: that he'll come and be able to kind of lay 109 00:04:48,080 --> 00:04:51,080 Speaker 1: out the vision for how the team should be based 110 00:04:51,080 --> 00:04:54,479 Speaker 1: on his experience in Tampa on THEO Tony Dungee and 111 00:04:54,520 --> 00:04:58,080 Speaker 1: that crew, based on his experience in Denver, having watched 112 00:04:58,080 --> 00:05:00,200 Speaker 1: that team kind of sin and become a I'm in 113 00:05:00,240 --> 00:05:02,800 Speaker 1: the team, and also in Standford. When you talk about 114 00:05:02,880 --> 00:05:05,720 Speaker 1: Bill Walsh, one of the greatest minds in football, he 115 00:05:05,760 --> 00:05:08,000 Speaker 1: knows what it should look like, and so I know 116 00:05:08,120 --> 00:05:10,920 Speaker 1: he understands what a player looks like or whatever. He 117 00:05:11,040 --> 00:05:13,520 Speaker 1: just needs time to develop the experience and get the 118 00:05:13,560 --> 00:05:15,640 Speaker 1: reps are doing some of the other stuff, and then 119 00:05:15,680 --> 00:05:18,640 Speaker 1: if he hires good people, he can be fine, because 120 00:05:18,880 --> 00:05:20,840 Speaker 1: I think the bigger thing in all of these jobs 121 00:05:21,240 --> 00:05:23,760 Speaker 1: knowing what you can do and knowing what you don't 122 00:05:23,800 --> 00:05:25,680 Speaker 1: know and what you need help with. And if he 123 00:05:25,680 --> 00:05:29,080 Speaker 1: can find solid guys to help him in those weak areas, 124 00:05:29,279 --> 00:05:31,400 Speaker 1: he absolutely can paint the picture and do some of 125 00:05:31,440 --> 00:05:33,919 Speaker 1: those other things. It's just that we're not used to 126 00:05:33,960 --> 00:05:37,360 Speaker 1: seeing someone come straight from the TV booth without experience 127 00:05:37,400 --> 00:05:40,520 Speaker 1: to jumping kind of to that that that pime spot. 128 00:05:40,680 --> 00:05:43,200 Speaker 1: The one thing I would I would guess is true 129 00:05:43,560 --> 00:05:47,880 Speaker 1: and is that what people's perception of that job is 130 00:05:47,960 --> 00:05:50,479 Speaker 1: from the outside and the work that goes into it 131 00:05:50,520 --> 00:05:53,000 Speaker 1: is one thing. And when you get inside the building 132 00:05:53,000 --> 00:05:55,560 Speaker 1: and find out all that goes into it, you realize 133 00:05:55,920 --> 00:05:57,520 Speaker 1: this a lot more than just sitting here and picking 134 00:05:57,520 --> 00:05:59,200 Speaker 1: a couple of players and saying on what free agent 135 00:05:59,240 --> 00:06:01,800 Speaker 1: I want to get a lot more because what you wanted. 136 00:06:01,839 --> 00:06:04,279 Speaker 1: In some organizations, the general manager also has to deal 137 00:06:04,320 --> 00:06:06,479 Speaker 1: with some of the business side, some of the things 138 00:06:06,520 --> 00:06:09,040 Speaker 1: that come along with that aspect. So if they can 139 00:06:09,120 --> 00:06:13,520 Speaker 1: make it where he is in essence the top personnel man, 140 00:06:13,640 --> 00:06:17,120 Speaker 1: meaning that he's dealing strictly with personnel, team building, managing 141 00:06:17,160 --> 00:06:21,320 Speaker 1: the coach relationship and those things, he can be fine. 142 00:06:21,600 --> 00:06:24,880 Speaker 1: But it's going to be really important that Adam Peters 143 00:06:24,880 --> 00:06:26,479 Speaker 1: and some of the other guys that are already in 144 00:06:26,520 --> 00:06:28,880 Speaker 1: the building can kind of help him in terms of 145 00:06:29,000 --> 00:06:31,279 Speaker 1: bringing him up to speed with the day to day operations, 146 00:06:31,520 --> 00:06:33,800 Speaker 1: knowing the waiver wire, free agency, When do we talk 147 00:06:33,839 --> 00:06:35,839 Speaker 1: to these things, how do we put in a claim? 148 00:06:35,920 --> 00:06:38,479 Speaker 1: Like so many little things. If you can get that 149 00:06:38,560 --> 00:06:41,200 Speaker 1: part down and he and Kyle Shanahan, the presumtive coach, 150 00:06:41,600 --> 00:06:43,640 Speaker 1: if they can get together and kind of lay out 151 00:06:43,640 --> 00:06:45,359 Speaker 1: the vision for how the team is going to be, 152 00:06:46,080 --> 00:06:49,080 Speaker 1: they can be fine. The difference that he's stepping in 153 00:06:49,360 --> 00:06:53,160 Speaker 1: that's different than what John Elway inherited. John Elway inherited 154 00:06:53,200 --> 00:06:55,640 Speaker 1: team that was already pretty rock solid, like he just 155 00:06:55,680 --> 00:06:57,600 Speaker 1: kind of had to put the bills and whistles, and 156 00:06:57,680 --> 00:07:01,120 Speaker 1: certainly he put his his own anger, friend and impression 157 00:07:01,200 --> 00:07:04,280 Speaker 1: on that team. This is a complete rebuild because when 158 00:07:04,279 --> 00:07:07,159 Speaker 1: you look at their roster, they don't have many crown 159 00:07:07,240 --> 00:07:09,760 Speaker 1: jewels and many building blocks. So you're talking about a 160 00:07:09,800 --> 00:07:13,120 Speaker 1: complete and extensive rebuild. I think that can be tough 161 00:07:13,160 --> 00:07:15,119 Speaker 1: for two first time people, because I thought of coaching 162 00:07:15,160 --> 00:07:16,960 Speaker 1: there as well. The interesting thing though, is if you'd 163 00:07:16,960 --> 00:07:19,560 Speaker 1: have gone back five years ago and said first time 164 00:07:19,680 --> 00:07:22,360 Speaker 1: head coach, first time general manager, and you're gonna drop 165 00:07:22,440 --> 00:07:24,080 Speaker 1: him right in the middle of the NFC West. You 166 00:07:24,120 --> 00:07:26,160 Speaker 1: just said no, no, no, no, no no no, But 167 00:07:26,240 --> 00:07:29,080 Speaker 1: now when you look at it. Look the Rams, everybody's 168 00:07:29,320 --> 00:07:31,760 Speaker 1: everybody's coming back to the car The Cardinals, you know, 169 00:07:32,040 --> 00:07:34,280 Speaker 1: the quarterback, the head coach, and their best receiver probably 170 00:07:34,280 --> 00:07:37,840 Speaker 1: aren't gonna be there much longer. So that's a different deal. Obviously, 171 00:07:37,920 --> 00:07:40,640 Speaker 1: Seattle is still but it's still teetering on the brain 172 00:07:40,680 --> 00:07:43,280 Speaker 1: because they're kind of plateaued and they have to make 173 00:07:43,320 --> 00:07:45,520 Speaker 1: some changes to continue to be on the ascent or 174 00:07:45,560 --> 00:07:47,240 Speaker 1: they go come back to the pack as well. Yeah, 175 00:07:47,240 --> 00:07:48,840 Speaker 1: so I think they've got a shot there if they 176 00:07:48,840 --> 00:07:51,320 Speaker 1: can get the quarterback thing done. I'm I've written something 177 00:07:51,320 --> 00:07:53,880 Speaker 1: on my Ask five this week is uh, you know, 178 00:07:53,920 --> 00:07:56,280 Speaker 1: everybody's gonna debate over the next few months where Deshaun 179 00:07:56,280 --> 00:07:59,240 Speaker 1: Watson's gonna go, how high he's gonna go. So I said, 180 00:07:59,280 --> 00:08:01,040 Speaker 1: forget that. Let's just I just reached out to five 181 00:08:01,040 --> 00:08:04,480 Speaker 1: guys and said, where would the best fit be? Forget round, 182 00:08:04,560 --> 00:08:07,960 Speaker 1: pick whatever, Just if you could drop him into one place, 183 00:08:08,320 --> 00:08:10,320 Speaker 1: what would be the best spot for him. Two of 184 00:08:10,360 --> 00:08:12,360 Speaker 1: the two of the five people said, with Shanahan and 185 00:08:12,360 --> 00:08:16,120 Speaker 1: San Francisco, oh okay, I would go another one. How 186 00:08:16,120 --> 00:08:18,520 Speaker 1: about Andy Reids? That got a vote. So here's I 187 00:08:18,520 --> 00:08:21,440 Speaker 1: got two votes for San Francisco. I got one vote 188 00:08:21,440 --> 00:08:24,440 Speaker 1: for Kansas City, I got one vote for Houston, and 189 00:08:24,480 --> 00:08:27,600 Speaker 1: I got one vote for Arizona. I'm surprised that the Houston. 190 00:08:27,800 --> 00:08:30,520 Speaker 1: The Houston thing is everything is already in place. You know, 191 00:08:30,640 --> 00:08:32,839 Speaker 1: you've got you've got a great defense, you've got a 192 00:08:32,840 --> 00:08:35,800 Speaker 1: good running back, you've got some receivers, not gonna. He 193 00:08:35,800 --> 00:08:37,800 Speaker 1: didn't have to do a whole lot. There was kind 194 00:08:37,840 --> 00:08:39,880 Speaker 1: of the thinking there. The Kansas City thing. One was 195 00:08:39,920 --> 00:08:42,240 Speaker 1: interesting was a little more uh in depth on the 196 00:08:42,280 --> 00:08:44,640 Speaker 1: reply was that you know, look, they already do some 197 00:08:44,679 --> 00:08:46,240 Speaker 1: of the r p O stuff there, do some of 198 00:08:46,240 --> 00:08:49,640 Speaker 1: this zone read stuff. Because remember Chris chris Ault from 199 00:08:49,640 --> 00:08:51,959 Speaker 1: the University of Nevada, whose longtime coach, he actually coach 200 00:08:52,000 --> 00:08:55,679 Speaker 1: Colin Kaepernick. He's there kind of in a senior advisor role, 201 00:08:55,760 --> 00:08:57,680 Speaker 1: so they do have a lot of the college elements. 202 00:08:57,880 --> 00:09:00,040 Speaker 1: The one thing that I worry about Shanahan System and 203 00:09:00,080 --> 00:09:03,559 Speaker 1: Deshaun Wasson, any of those guys, it is real wordy, 204 00:09:04,240 --> 00:09:08,280 Speaker 1: I mean long extended verbage in the play calls. And 205 00:09:08,320 --> 00:09:11,679 Speaker 1: so when you're one of those guys, Mitch Drabinsky, Deshaun 206 00:09:11,760 --> 00:09:15,080 Speaker 1: Watson coming in, you used to dealing with these short, 207 00:09:15,120 --> 00:09:17,559 Speaker 1: quick play calls, so you can play with tempo. The 208 00:09:17,720 --> 00:09:22,160 Speaker 1: Shanahan change how he's customarily called plays to help a 209 00:09:22,200 --> 00:09:25,080 Speaker 1: young quarterback or does he just kind of throw it 210 00:09:25,120 --> 00:09:27,719 Speaker 1: at him and put it on them to figure it 211 00:09:27,760 --> 00:09:29,800 Speaker 1: out and get it done. Because I saw a recent 212 00:09:29,800 --> 00:09:32,240 Speaker 1: interview with Matt Ryan, he talked about, look, man, these 213 00:09:32,280 --> 00:09:33,880 Speaker 1: play calls. It took a while for me to kind 214 00:09:33,880 --> 00:09:35,480 Speaker 1: of put it together. And this is a VET, a 215 00:09:35,520 --> 00:09:37,720 Speaker 1: guy in his ninth year who was talking about his 216 00:09:37,720 --> 00:09:40,160 Speaker 1: struggles the first year under Shannahan. So now with a 217 00:09:40,280 --> 00:09:44,640 Speaker 1: rookie with no NFL experience, we'll see you can adapt 218 00:09:44,640 --> 00:09:46,760 Speaker 1: and adjust. It'll be interesting. Here's the question for you. 219 00:09:46,800 --> 00:09:50,840 Speaker 1: If you're the Washington Redskins and they call John Lynch 220 00:09:50,920 --> 00:09:53,720 Speaker 1: calls will give you the number to pick for Kirk Cousins. 221 00:09:57,840 --> 00:10:00,000 Speaker 1: I don't think the Riskins will make that move because 222 00:10:00,000 --> 00:10:01,800 Speaker 1: as I think they would hate. I would think there's 223 00:10:01,840 --> 00:10:05,600 Speaker 1: probably some acrimony between Shanahan that they wouldn't do business together. 224 00:10:06,240 --> 00:10:10,280 Speaker 1: But you gotta roll with Colte McCoy or you gotta 225 00:10:10,280 --> 00:10:12,360 Speaker 1: pick somebody at two. We also depends on what they 226 00:10:12,360 --> 00:10:14,160 Speaker 1: really think about with Cote McCoy for a little bit, 227 00:10:14,200 --> 00:10:18,880 Speaker 1: because remember we go back two years, he looked like 228 00:10:18,920 --> 00:10:21,000 Speaker 1: he was going to be the guy, but RG three 229 00:10:21,040 --> 00:10:24,679 Speaker 1: was got benched, Kirk got bench for Colt McCoy. So 230 00:10:25,520 --> 00:10:27,400 Speaker 1: it may depend on what they see. It also depends 231 00:10:27,440 --> 00:10:30,040 Speaker 1: on what do they value in this draft because we 232 00:10:30,080 --> 00:10:32,320 Speaker 1: talked about the primo players and what they need to 233 00:10:32,360 --> 00:10:34,640 Speaker 1: get over the top. I mean, do they value a 234 00:10:34,720 --> 00:10:37,280 Speaker 1: Miles Garrett. I mean Miles Garrett probably think would be gone, 235 00:10:37,480 --> 00:10:39,560 Speaker 1: be gone, like who else at the top of the board. 236 00:10:39,600 --> 00:10:42,360 Speaker 1: But they value at number two? Did they believe could 237 00:10:42,360 --> 00:10:45,600 Speaker 1: be a guy that could push them over the top. Yeah, 238 00:10:45,640 --> 00:10:48,000 Speaker 1: we saw them take a safety way back in the 239 00:10:48,080 --> 00:10:51,319 Speaker 1: day with Sean Taylor. Maybe maybe that's maybe that's a 240 00:10:51,360 --> 00:10:53,440 Speaker 1: direction they could go any It's a interesting, interesting discussion 241 00:10:53,440 --> 00:10:55,480 Speaker 1: there right. Other other higher that we had is was 242 00:10:55,559 --> 00:10:59,160 Speaker 1: in Indianapolis with Chris Ballard coming over from the Chiefs. 243 00:10:59,480 --> 00:11:02,160 Speaker 1: And I've I've been around Chris a handful of times 244 00:11:02,440 --> 00:11:06,200 Speaker 1: throughout the years, always been really really nice dude. Um 245 00:11:06,320 --> 00:11:08,920 Speaker 1: has a reputation within the business is some way that's 246 00:11:09,000 --> 00:11:11,480 Speaker 1: that's a hard, hard worker, that's a grinder that treats 247 00:11:11,520 --> 00:11:15,320 Speaker 1: people really well. Just a good dude. So um from 248 00:11:15,400 --> 00:11:17,800 Speaker 1: from the outside looking in and and he's been a 249 00:11:17,880 --> 00:11:20,319 Speaker 1: really really good evaluator. So from the outside looking in, 250 00:11:20,400 --> 00:11:22,160 Speaker 1: it looks like a pretty good higher. Here, it looks 251 00:11:22,160 --> 00:11:24,720 Speaker 1: like a pretty guy and he Inherits a nice situation 252 00:11:24,720 --> 00:11:27,600 Speaker 1: because there's a quarterback in place. So now, in his 253 00:11:27,640 --> 00:11:29,959 Speaker 1: press conference, he talked about it's not all about the quarterback, 254 00:11:30,000 --> 00:11:32,280 Speaker 1: and I think a lot of us recognize that it's 255 00:11:32,320 --> 00:11:34,360 Speaker 1: not about the quarterback. But when you have that piece, 256 00:11:34,360 --> 00:11:36,280 Speaker 1: it makes it a lot easier to build a team 257 00:11:36,720 --> 00:11:39,680 Speaker 1: knowing how to build your offensive around the quarterback. And 258 00:11:39,720 --> 00:11:42,800 Speaker 1: so the thing that he certainly can take away from 259 00:11:42,800 --> 00:11:45,280 Speaker 1: his time in Kansas City is looking at how Andy 260 00:11:45,320 --> 00:11:48,520 Speaker 1: Reid has been able to build that team under John Dorsey. 261 00:11:48,679 --> 00:11:50,160 Speaker 1: This is a team that has balanced Say what you 262 00:11:50,200 --> 00:11:52,520 Speaker 1: want to about Alex mean, I personally think that Alex 263 00:11:52,520 --> 00:11:54,840 Speaker 1: Smith is a pretty good quarterback. I still believe that 264 00:11:54,880 --> 00:11:57,120 Speaker 1: you can win a title with Alex Smith. I think 265 00:11:57,120 --> 00:11:58,760 Speaker 1: you have to have the other stuff around him, but 266 00:11:58,760 --> 00:12:02,240 Speaker 1: he can win if Ballot takes that same approach with 267 00:12:02,320 --> 00:12:05,400 Speaker 1: Andrew Luck and try attempts to find a way to 268 00:12:05,480 --> 00:12:09,000 Speaker 1: alleviate some of the burden on the quarterback. I believe 269 00:12:09,040 --> 00:12:10,880 Speaker 1: the Colts can do it, but I think they have 270 00:12:11,000 --> 00:12:12,920 Speaker 1: to put a lot of time and a lot of 271 00:12:13,040 --> 00:12:16,040 Speaker 1: tension to that defense because the defense will be the 272 00:12:16,080 --> 00:12:18,280 Speaker 1: determining fact on whether they're able to go to the 273 00:12:18,320 --> 00:12:20,720 Speaker 1: next level with Andrew Luck. Yeah, I think I think 274 00:12:20,720 --> 00:12:23,240 Speaker 1: defensively is definitely where you focus in this draft. I 275 00:12:23,240 --> 00:12:25,000 Speaker 1: think they've got some money to spending free agentcs have 276 00:12:25,040 --> 00:12:27,600 Speaker 1: some money, and they have picks. I mean they have picks. 277 00:12:27,600 --> 00:12:29,880 Speaker 1: I think they're some eighteenth pick maybe. Yeah. I think 278 00:12:29,880 --> 00:12:33,000 Speaker 1: they're around somewhere somewhere in the middle of the round 279 00:12:33,000 --> 00:12:34,720 Speaker 1: where they can go and get a passworts because they 280 00:12:34,720 --> 00:12:36,719 Speaker 1: need to address the passors, they need to address the 281 00:12:36,800 --> 00:12:39,280 Speaker 1: back in the secondary. They have to be a faster 282 00:12:39,440 --> 00:12:41,720 Speaker 1: team to me when I look at them on defense, 283 00:12:41,760 --> 00:12:44,520 Speaker 1: because you're playing in the Dome, you need to be fast. 284 00:12:44,559 --> 00:12:46,880 Speaker 1: I want that team to be fast, want to be different, 285 00:12:47,200 --> 00:12:50,200 Speaker 1: and depending on how the offense is constructed, I want 286 00:12:50,200 --> 00:12:52,240 Speaker 1: a team that we talked about being able to play downhill, 287 00:12:52,320 --> 00:12:54,280 Speaker 1: meaning we're playing with the lead so I can put 288 00:12:54,280 --> 00:12:56,800 Speaker 1: those guys out and we're chasing the quarterback and getting 289 00:12:56,840 --> 00:12:59,240 Speaker 1: after it. So it'll be interesting to see what ballot 290 00:12:59,360 --> 00:13:02,480 Speaker 1: does alright, Senior Bowl block, what was your your overall 291 00:13:02,520 --> 00:13:04,480 Speaker 1: impression from the Senior You know, the Senior Bowl was 292 00:13:05,160 --> 00:13:08,040 Speaker 1: pretty intriguing. You know. You hear a lot of people say, oh, 293 00:13:08,080 --> 00:13:10,200 Speaker 1: the classes weren't like the classes that we've seen in 294 00:13:10,240 --> 00:13:12,800 Speaker 1: the past. However, if you went down there with a 295 00:13:12,800 --> 00:13:14,400 Speaker 1: plan on what you want to see, I think you 296 00:13:14,440 --> 00:13:18,360 Speaker 1: certainly could see it. Naturally. Being a former warde receiver 297 00:13:18,440 --> 00:13:21,199 Speaker 1: and defensive back, I kind of stayed on the peripher early. 298 00:13:21,520 --> 00:13:23,680 Speaker 1: And obviously the dude that was talked about and I 299 00:13:23,720 --> 00:13:26,000 Speaker 1: heard you guys on the telecast talk about it, Cooper 300 00:13:26,000 --> 00:13:29,760 Speaker 1: Cup Za Jones. There were two guys that stood out 301 00:13:29,760 --> 00:13:31,360 Speaker 1: to me, two guys that made a bunch of money, 302 00:13:31,400 --> 00:13:33,760 Speaker 1: two guys that were really really impressive throughout the week, 303 00:13:34,080 --> 00:13:37,840 Speaker 1: and both had questions coming in as far as how 304 00:13:37,880 --> 00:13:39,640 Speaker 1: good are they really when you got a chance to 305 00:13:39,640 --> 00:13:42,120 Speaker 1: see them versus the elites? And I would say that 306 00:13:42,160 --> 00:13:46,120 Speaker 1: both guys were impressive. Cooper Cup to me, tough hands, 307 00:13:46,480 --> 00:13:49,360 Speaker 1: route running, he had crafty and savviness that leads me 308 00:13:49,440 --> 00:13:51,640 Speaker 1: to believe that he would be a nice number two receiver. 309 00:13:51,679 --> 00:13:53,640 Speaker 1: I wouldn't necessarily put him in the number one role, 310 00:13:53,800 --> 00:13:56,319 Speaker 1: but I think he'd be a nice number two. Z Jones, 311 00:13:56,720 --> 00:13:58,360 Speaker 1: nice route runner. I thought he was a bit of 312 00:13:58,400 --> 00:14:00,440 Speaker 1: an acroback in terms of his ability to eight kids. 313 00:14:00,440 --> 00:14:02,240 Speaker 1: He didn't work his feet and bounds, and then he 314 00:14:02,320 --> 00:14:05,760 Speaker 1: had great hands. Those two guys, to me, came out 315 00:14:05,800 --> 00:14:08,599 Speaker 1: and probably made the most money in terms of the 316 00:14:08,800 --> 00:14:10,640 Speaker 1: draft stock coming out of Senior Bowl based on how 317 00:14:10,679 --> 00:14:13,160 Speaker 1: they performed versus what the expectations were. I mean, some 318 00:14:13,200 --> 00:14:14,920 Speaker 1: of these guys you draft and you've got to have 319 00:14:14,960 --> 00:14:18,240 Speaker 1: a developmental game plan. These guys, those two players you drafted, 320 00:14:18,280 --> 00:14:21,760 Speaker 1: me handed the playbook and say practices it tennant. They're 321 00:14:21,760 --> 00:14:24,560 Speaker 1: ready to go. They're very polished, very polished kids. Um. 322 00:14:24,600 --> 00:14:28,840 Speaker 1: I thought overall, defensive backgroup was impressive. Look you get 323 00:14:28,880 --> 00:14:31,760 Speaker 1: Resul Douglas from West Virginia six ft corner, did a 324 00:14:31,880 --> 00:14:34,720 Speaker 1: nice shob up and pressed uh Obi mel and Falwu 325 00:14:34,840 --> 00:14:40,120 Speaker 1: from from Connecticut. They put they put him. They let 326 00:14:40,200 --> 00:14:41,560 Speaker 1: him do play some corner and one on one on 327 00:14:41,600 --> 00:14:43,560 Speaker 1: one stuff. He was awesome. He did find it didn't 328 00:14:43,600 --> 00:14:45,720 Speaker 1: skip a beat with six ft four corner. They can 329 00:14:45,720 --> 00:14:47,120 Speaker 1: cover like that. You can do a lot of things 330 00:14:47,200 --> 00:14:49,960 Speaker 1: with him. They long range. I think that's the thing. 331 00:14:50,000 --> 00:14:52,040 Speaker 1: That I came away with the week. H a lot 332 00:14:52,040 --> 00:14:54,960 Speaker 1: of versatility and the defensive backgroup guys that could play 333 00:14:55,040 --> 00:14:58,760 Speaker 1: multiple camp Sutton from Tennessee played safety, outside corner, played 334 00:14:58,800 --> 00:15:01,200 Speaker 1: inside the nickel dre that absolutely did a great job. 335 00:15:01,280 --> 00:15:02,840 Speaker 1: He was Swiss Army knife in the back and he 336 00:15:02,840 --> 00:15:05,120 Speaker 1: was able to do it. Josh Johnson from Boston College 337 00:15:05,160 --> 00:15:07,320 Speaker 1: was a guy you talked about the Yukon kid being 338 00:15:07,320 --> 00:15:09,960 Speaker 1: able to bounce around and play multiple spots. Josh Johnson 339 00:15:10,000 --> 00:15:11,800 Speaker 1: was able to do and he was smooth. He was fluid. 340 00:15:11,960 --> 00:15:13,760 Speaker 1: To Davids White, who didn't play in the game but 341 00:15:13,800 --> 00:15:16,200 Speaker 1: showed up early in the practice, he was versatile. He 342 00:15:16,240 --> 00:15:18,560 Speaker 1: did some of those things. So as I'm building that 343 00:15:18,680 --> 00:15:22,240 Speaker 1: job and then and then, uh, Jordan Lewis from from Michigan, job, 344 00:15:22,280 --> 00:15:23,880 Speaker 1: he's gonna be a great nickel. He's gonna be a 345 00:15:23,920 --> 00:15:26,520 Speaker 1: great man. Has a nice has a nice feel for 346 00:15:26,760 --> 00:15:30,880 Speaker 1: jumping and playing um those underneath routes, particularly in the slot. 347 00:15:31,600 --> 00:15:33,560 Speaker 1: There are a lot of dbs that were there that 348 00:15:33,640 --> 00:15:36,200 Speaker 1: you said I could see that even look, this guy's 349 00:15:36,240 --> 00:15:41,800 Speaker 1: a polarizing prospect on the outside. But Demante CAZy, oh yeah, yeah, 350 00:15:41,800 --> 00:15:44,320 Speaker 1: from Santego State CAZy did a nice A lot of 351 00:15:44,320 --> 00:15:46,240 Speaker 1: people were down on him before, but what I saw 352 00:15:46,360 --> 00:15:48,560 Speaker 1: I liked, and I think he has some balls, because yes, 353 00:15:48,600 --> 00:15:50,840 Speaker 1: he has some limitations with the speed. But I thought 354 00:15:50,840 --> 00:15:53,720 Speaker 1: a great job. Yes I clipped off a bunch of 355 00:15:53,720 --> 00:15:56,200 Speaker 1: plays from practice, all texts to you, but yeah, just ridiculous. 356 00:15:56,240 --> 00:15:57,680 Speaker 1: And he was getting locking people up at the line 357 00:15:57,680 --> 00:15:59,600 Speaker 1: of good job. So it's a good, good group of 358 00:15:59,600 --> 00:16:02,840 Speaker 1: second players. We talked about a couple of those receivers, 359 00:16:03,080 --> 00:16:05,360 Speaker 1: the tight end group. O. J. Howard was great. Um. 360 00:16:05,480 --> 00:16:07,520 Speaker 1: I thought Evan Ingram really helped himself with the week 361 00:16:07,560 --> 00:16:09,640 Speaker 1: that he had. I was a little bit disappointed. Gerald 362 00:16:09,640 --> 00:16:11,760 Speaker 1: Everett got hurt. He only practiced the first day that 363 00:16:11,840 --> 00:16:13,000 Speaker 1: he was out. For the rest of week, tried to 364 00:16:13,000 --> 00:16:15,040 Speaker 1: play in the game. He didn't really do anything interesting 365 00:16:15,040 --> 00:16:17,000 Speaker 1: case with him. I was talking to some some scouts 366 00:16:17,040 --> 00:16:19,200 Speaker 1: buck that said, I said, man, I love this dude 367 00:16:19,200 --> 00:16:20,720 Speaker 1: on tape, and I come to the combine or come 368 00:16:20,760 --> 00:16:22,840 Speaker 1: to the senior we waste two twenty seven. They like 369 00:16:22,920 --> 00:16:24,080 Speaker 1: they're like I was in there in the middle of 370 00:16:24,080 --> 00:16:27,520 Speaker 1: the season. He weighed to forty four. So somebody got 371 00:16:27,520 --> 00:16:28,680 Speaker 1: in his ear and told him, all you need to 372 00:16:28,720 --> 00:16:30,600 Speaker 1: run fast. No, no no, no, no, he was. He was 373 00:16:30,680 --> 00:16:32,880 Speaker 1: fast on tape at two hundred forty four pounds. He 374 00:16:32,880 --> 00:16:34,640 Speaker 1: showed up with two twenty seven. I don't know why 375 00:16:34,680 --> 00:16:36,640 Speaker 1: are we show for two twenty Yeah, that's that's a 376 00:16:36,680 --> 00:16:39,640 Speaker 1: bad moved. Another another one that lost weight too though, 377 00:16:39,680 --> 00:16:41,680 Speaker 1: was Cream Hunt, the running back from Toledo who played 378 00:16:41,680 --> 00:16:43,240 Speaker 1: in the high two twenties. He showed up at two 379 00:16:43,240 --> 00:16:44,640 Speaker 1: o eight. Had a great week. But you'd like to 380 00:16:44,680 --> 00:16:46,160 Speaker 1: see him. I'd like see him cary a little bit more, 381 00:16:46,800 --> 00:16:49,880 Speaker 1: him thicker. The tight end group was very interesting. Evan 382 00:16:50,000 --> 00:16:51,840 Speaker 1: Ingram is everything that we thought about, like he's that 383 00:16:52,000 --> 00:16:54,960 Speaker 1: natural route runner. We talked about these Jordan Reed types 384 00:16:55,040 --> 00:16:57,040 Speaker 1: that would have an opportunity to come and kind of 385 00:16:57,080 --> 00:17:00,280 Speaker 1: be matchup nightmares on the perimeter. Evan Ingram is one 386 00:17:00,320 --> 00:17:04,000 Speaker 1: of those guys. I still think Gerald Everett was impressive. Uh, 387 00:17:04,040 --> 00:17:05,760 Speaker 1: the size is a concern if you only he's going 388 00:17:05,800 --> 00:17:10,000 Speaker 1: to way two oh. J Howard to me showed far 389 00:17:10,160 --> 00:17:13,840 Speaker 1: more um of a complete and refined game than maybe 390 00:17:13,880 --> 00:17:17,119 Speaker 1: we could see on tape at Alabama. His ability to block, 391 00:17:17,560 --> 00:17:21,240 Speaker 1: he could run the routes, he caught the ball will um. 392 00:17:21,280 --> 00:17:24,080 Speaker 1: It'll be interesting when we think it's safest picks in 393 00:17:24,080 --> 00:17:25,440 Speaker 1: the draft. Well, I think you just kind of know 394 00:17:25,520 --> 00:17:28,639 Speaker 1: what exactly you know. And I don't think there's anything 395 00:17:28,640 --> 00:17:31,159 Speaker 1: wrong with that. In the first round to know exactly 396 00:17:31,200 --> 00:17:33,280 Speaker 1: what I'm getting, I'm gonna plug him in and play him, no, 397 00:17:33,280 --> 00:17:36,879 Speaker 1: no question um. The The guy that maybe helped himself 398 00:17:36,880 --> 00:17:38,640 Speaker 1: the most, aside from those two receivers, I would say, 399 00:17:38,680 --> 00:17:42,159 Speaker 1: was a Son Reddick from Temple, the linebacker who played outside, 400 00:17:42,240 --> 00:17:45,000 Speaker 1: played on the line, kicked inside this week for the 401 00:17:45,000 --> 00:17:47,159 Speaker 1: whole weekend and get a little bit outside rush as well, 402 00:17:47,200 --> 00:17:49,640 Speaker 1: but inside by covering, and the one on ones was great. 403 00:17:49,640 --> 00:17:52,600 Speaker 1: They couldn't block him in the He's got some thump, 404 00:17:52,640 --> 00:17:54,720 Speaker 1: he's instinctive. A lot of times you take a guy 405 00:17:54,760 --> 00:17:56,480 Speaker 1: that's been on the line of scrimmage and you stack 406 00:17:56,560 --> 00:17:58,520 Speaker 1: him inside the box. They struggled to sort through all 407 00:17:58,560 --> 00:18:00,920 Speaker 1: the trash to see everything. It's real busy and messy 408 00:18:01,000 --> 00:18:04,000 Speaker 1: in there, and he just picked it right up. Last person, 409 00:18:04,119 --> 00:18:06,320 Speaker 1: last player that I remember being able to do that. 410 00:18:06,359 --> 00:18:09,000 Speaker 1: They've been too. Actually, Teddy Bruski being able to go 411 00:18:09,040 --> 00:18:10,399 Speaker 1: from being a guy who had his hand in the 412 00:18:10,440 --> 00:18:12,320 Speaker 1: dirt to being able to play inside. Did that in 413 00:18:12,320 --> 00:18:14,920 Speaker 1: New England, Bill Parcells got there, and then if you 414 00:18:14,960 --> 00:18:17,720 Speaker 1: think about Lawrence Timmons for the Pittsburgh still is Lawrence Timins. 415 00:18:17,920 --> 00:18:20,320 Speaker 1: It's like an outside edge rusher that they moved to 416 00:18:20,359 --> 00:18:24,200 Speaker 1: Mike linebacker inside linebacker. Uh it's a different world being 417 00:18:24,240 --> 00:18:26,040 Speaker 1: inside with so much stuff going on. But if you 418 00:18:26,040 --> 00:18:28,359 Speaker 1: can get it, it gives you kind of a stout 419 00:18:28,400 --> 00:18:30,880 Speaker 1: forcing their reddick show that he can kind of play 420 00:18:30,920 --> 00:18:32,679 Speaker 1: in there and be a factor. Yeah. No, he had. 421 00:18:32,720 --> 00:18:35,040 Speaker 1: He had a great week. Did a nice job. Um 422 00:18:35,080 --> 00:18:37,920 Speaker 1: any other thoughts from the Senior Bowl Buck Matt Dave's 423 00:18:38,000 --> 00:18:39,920 Speaker 1: running back from NC State. He had a nice job. 424 00:18:39,960 --> 00:18:42,240 Speaker 1: He did a nice job. He was someone coming out. 425 00:18:42,359 --> 00:18:43,760 Speaker 1: I didn't know how good it was. I know people 426 00:18:43,760 --> 00:18:45,040 Speaker 1: that talked about him be in a sleeper. He can 427 00:18:45,119 --> 00:18:46,919 Speaker 1: run around, catch the ball out of the backfield. I 428 00:18:46,960 --> 00:18:50,000 Speaker 1: was most impressed with his blocking, how physical he was, 429 00:18:50,119 --> 00:18:52,719 Speaker 1: and passed bro to me he was by far the 430 00:18:52,760 --> 00:18:55,640 Speaker 1: most ready to come in and be a past protecting 431 00:18:55,680 --> 00:19:01,080 Speaker 1: those critical situations. And then up front. Uh oh yeah, 432 00:19:01,119 --> 00:19:05,920 Speaker 1: my Trevius Adam said, a nice week man, big moving people. 433 00:19:05,920 --> 00:19:08,040 Speaker 1: We have some quickness that you don't expect to see 434 00:19:08,080 --> 00:19:09,720 Speaker 1: from a big Uh. I don't know what kind of 435 00:19:09,720 --> 00:19:12,280 Speaker 1: premium you place on like a nose tackle, but in 436 00:19:12,400 --> 00:19:14,200 Speaker 1: terms of being able to own the line of scrimmage 437 00:19:14,200 --> 00:19:16,360 Speaker 1: on the point of attack, Adam showed that he could 438 00:19:16,359 --> 00:19:19,080 Speaker 1: do that passing, you know, from Villanova to six so 439 00:19:19,240 --> 00:19:22,119 Speaker 1: six seven, so just under six pounds. He had a 440 00:19:22,200 --> 00:19:25,199 Speaker 1: nice job, did nice. Uh, that's a nice work out 441 00:19:25,240 --> 00:19:26,440 Speaker 1: there on the field. So a bunch of other guys. 442 00:19:26,480 --> 00:19:27,960 Speaker 1: We'll have plenty of time as we get towards the 443 00:19:28,040 --> 00:19:30,280 Speaker 1: drafted to dig into all these guys and we'll start 444 00:19:31,000 --> 00:19:33,119 Speaker 1: trying to match up some of these players with you know, 445 00:19:33,119 --> 00:19:34,880 Speaker 1: how they stack up on the board and as well 446 00:19:34,880 --> 00:19:38,440 Speaker 1: as what teams they could potentially fit with.
