The writers 6 00:00:17,079 --> 00:00:22,560 Speaker 1: of Patriots dot Com and Matisse bomb So, Mic Deso, 7 00:00:22,640 --> 00:00:26,720 Speaker 1: Paul Perlo, and the aforementioned tise with you to break 8 00:00:26,720 --> 00:00:30,560 Speaker 1: down some running backs today as we continue our series 9 00:00:30,720 --> 00:00:35,200 Speaker 1: on previewing the prospects in the upcoming NFL Draft. Running 10 00:00:35,200 --> 00:00:37,360 Speaker 1: back is a spot that I think the Patriots will 11 00:00:37,400 --> 00:00:40,080 Speaker 1: have some interest in. I don't think it'll be Day 12 00:00:40,080 --> 00:00:42,720 Speaker 1: one interests. Certainly won't be Day one interest, but you know, 13 00:00:42,720 --> 00:00:44,640 Speaker 1: I'm not hope it's interested day one. Yeah, I'm not 14 00:00:44,680 --> 00:00:46,879 Speaker 1: sure that there are any of these guys that will 15 00:00:46,920 --> 00:00:52,120 Speaker 1: be Day one candidates at running back. But before we 16 00:00:52,400 --> 00:00:55,440 Speaker 1: sort of move this to Patriots centric, let's let's set 17 00:00:55,440 --> 00:00:57,440 Speaker 1: the table a little bit at the position tis. I'll 18 00:00:57,440 --> 00:00:59,360 Speaker 1: have you go Firstance. You had to wait and then 19 00:00:59,360 --> 00:01:02,680 Speaker 1: you got all nerves when we did the quarterbacks on Monday. 20 00:01:02,720 --> 00:01:05,759 Speaker 1: So what what what guy do you like the most, 21 00:01:05,760 --> 00:01:08,319 Speaker 1: who stands at the top of your running backboard. Um, 22 00:01:08,360 --> 00:01:11,479 Speaker 1: the top is definitely Kenny Walker and Kyron Williams. Love 23 00:01:11,600 --> 00:01:14,080 Speaker 1: Kenny Walker. Um, James Cook is pretty good too. And 24 00:01:14,120 --> 00:01:16,319 Speaker 1: then as I did more research, I really like Kennedy 25 00:01:16,319 --> 00:01:18,920 Speaker 1: Brooks from Oklahoma. Okay, so you can't just take every guy. 26 00:01:19,040 --> 00:01:20,840 Speaker 1: I know. I know, I'm just saying my top, my 27 00:01:20,920 --> 00:01:24,240 Speaker 1: top two, top top two, Kenny Walker and k Williams. 28 00:01:24,520 --> 00:01:27,200 Speaker 1: I know. So wait, what about Kenneth Walker? Because I 29 00:01:27,200 --> 00:01:29,320 Speaker 1: know that Deuce likes Kyron Williams, so I'm gonna let 30 00:01:29,319 --> 00:01:31,959 Speaker 1: you talk about him. Um, what about Kenneth Walker really 31 00:01:32,360 --> 00:01:35,720 Speaker 1: stood out to you? Big back, downhill runner, not scared 32 00:01:35,760 --> 00:01:38,320 Speaker 1: to embrace contact, and I really saw him take over. Um, 33 00:01:38,440 --> 00:01:39,920 Speaker 1: there was a game he had five touchdowns. I forgot 34 00:01:40,000 --> 00:01:44,479 Speaker 1: who the opponent was, Northwestern north mistaken Megan, Sorry Megan. Yeah, 35 00:01:44,520 --> 00:01:46,959 Speaker 1: but he's no big back that looks NFL ready. Yeah, 36 00:01:47,040 --> 00:01:48,880 Speaker 1: ran a four three eight two. I mean he's he's 37 00:01:48,880 --> 00:01:50,920 Speaker 1: probably the only guy that That's what stood out to 38 00:01:50,960 --> 00:01:53,280 Speaker 1: me because I kind of thought of him as one 39 00:01:53,320 --> 00:01:55,840 Speaker 1: of those you know Michigan State. You know, it's it's 40 00:01:55,960 --> 00:02:00,040 Speaker 1: the middle of November. It's like sleading sideways and the 41 00:02:00,080 --> 00:02:02,760 Speaker 1: field is a mess and here comes Kenneth Walker. He's 42 00:02:02,760 --> 00:02:05,360 Speaker 1: just gonna run the ball forty two times between the tackles. 43 00:02:05,800 --> 00:02:08,520 Speaker 1: He's way more than that. He's way more dynamic than 44 00:02:08,639 --> 00:02:12,400 Speaker 1: just a plow horse. And that four three eight sort 45 00:02:12,400 --> 00:02:14,440 Speaker 1: of validated that. You see it like that game that 46 00:02:14,480 --> 00:02:17,520 Speaker 1: you're talking about, Tease against Northwestern, he was dynamic in 47 00:02:17,560 --> 00:02:21,000 Speaker 1: that game, making guys missing the whole big play after 48 00:02:21,080 --> 00:02:23,799 Speaker 1: big play, and then you see him run a time 49 00:02:23,880 --> 00:02:26,000 Speaker 1: that it's commensurate with that. So I agree with you 50 00:02:26,360 --> 00:02:28,399 Speaker 1: he was the one at the top of my list, 51 00:02:28,440 --> 00:02:31,280 Speaker 1: But I know Deuce. Deuce is looking more for the 52 00:02:31,320 --> 00:02:34,520 Speaker 1: Patriots type guys, guys that have some versatility to their 53 00:02:34,600 --> 00:02:36,160 Speaker 1: game and could catch the ball out of the backfield. 54 00:02:36,160 --> 00:02:37,960 Speaker 1: And you like I like William I do. I think 55 00:02:38,000 --> 00:02:40,480 Speaker 1: Kyra will is probably my favorite Patriots fit. I mean, 56 00:02:40,520 --> 00:02:43,359 Speaker 1: I'm looking a little bit more towards receiving backs, just 57 00:02:43,360 --> 00:02:45,280 Speaker 1: with James White kind of getting up there, he's kind 58 00:02:45,320 --> 00:02:46,600 Speaker 1: of on a prove it deal. I don't know if 59 00:02:46,600 --> 00:02:49,040 Speaker 1: that that's set in stone. And you also have Damien 60 00:02:49,080 --> 00:02:51,000 Speaker 1: Harris still coming in, So I do think that there's 61 00:02:51,040 --> 00:02:53,160 Speaker 1: a need for really any kind of running back. But 62 00:02:53,480 --> 00:02:55,600 Speaker 1: you know, I think Kyra and Williams. And it sounds 63 00:02:55,639 --> 00:02:57,799 Speaker 1: maybe silly, but the thing that you know jumps out 64 00:02:57,840 --> 00:03:00,160 Speaker 1: to me and reading the scouting reports, is like, he's 65 00:03:00,240 --> 00:03:02,320 Speaker 1: one of those guys that knows how to pass protect 66 00:03:02,560 --> 00:03:05,120 Speaker 1: and isn't willing is willing to stick his face in 67 00:03:05,160 --> 00:03:07,600 Speaker 1: there and uh and and protect the quarterback. And I 68 00:03:07,639 --> 00:03:11,840 Speaker 1: think that's just a huge thing. Captain seventy eight catches 69 00:03:11,880 --> 00:03:14,280 Speaker 1: over the last two seasons. You know, he ran a 70 00:03:14,320 --> 00:03:16,320 Speaker 1: four six five. I think he looks a little faster 71 00:03:16,400 --> 00:03:19,240 Speaker 1: than that, um, but I think overall he looks like 72 00:03:19,600 --> 00:03:22,080 Speaker 1: a balance running back that you know, could maybe slip 73 00:03:22,120 --> 00:03:25,520 Speaker 1: into that third down roll uh sooner than later. With 74 00:03:25,560 --> 00:03:27,480 Speaker 1: his ability to kind of, you know, know how to 75 00:03:27,480 --> 00:03:28,959 Speaker 1: know how to protect the quarterback. I think that's a 76 00:03:29,040 --> 00:03:30,639 Speaker 1: huge thing for a rookie to get on the field. Yeah, 77 00:03:30,639 --> 00:03:32,360 Speaker 1: a couple other guys that stood out to me in 78 00:03:32,400 --> 00:03:35,040 Speaker 1: that regard in the sort of third down role. And 79 00:03:35,080 --> 00:03:36,800 Speaker 1: I do like Williams and the fact that I was 80 00:03:36,800 --> 00:03:38,200 Speaker 1: reading a little bit about him. He was a high 81 00:03:38,200 --> 00:03:40,680 Speaker 1: school wide receiver, so he's not just swinging out of 82 00:03:40,720 --> 00:03:43,680 Speaker 1: the backfield catching passes. He can run routes, UM. So 83 00:03:43,720 --> 00:03:46,400 Speaker 1: he's got a little sophistication to his game as a receiver. 84 00:03:46,480 --> 00:03:49,360 Speaker 1: But James Cook, who Teas brought up as a guy 85 00:03:49,360 --> 00:03:52,440 Speaker 1: he liked to out of Georgia, you know, Dalvin Cook's brother, 86 00:03:52,560 --> 00:03:55,800 Speaker 1: little brother, not as big as his brother, but a 87 00:03:56,240 --> 00:03:59,200 Speaker 1: you know, a really really good receiver. And then Rashard 88 00:03:59,280 --> 00:04:01,960 Speaker 1: White from Arizona State is another guy who can catch 89 00:04:01,960 --> 00:04:05,480 Speaker 1: the ball extremely well. Here's a little bit of an 90 00:04:05,560 --> 00:04:08,160 Speaker 1: upright style running which I always worry about. I know, 91 00:04:08,320 --> 00:04:11,640 Speaker 1: like everybody says, well it works for Eric Dickerson, Yeah, 92 00:04:11,640 --> 00:04:13,880 Speaker 1: it did you know, there's a Hall of Fame caliber 93 00:04:13,880 --> 00:04:16,000 Speaker 1: player to work for him. He ran straight up and 94 00:04:16,040 --> 00:04:17,719 Speaker 1: he got away with it. A lot of guys with 95 00:04:17,800 --> 00:04:21,039 Speaker 1: that sort of that body lean that's straight up and 96 00:04:21,080 --> 00:04:24,320 Speaker 1: down do not last. So I am impressed with his 97 00:04:24,360 --> 00:04:26,479 Speaker 1: ability to catch the ball, and I think that is 98 00:04:26,480 --> 00:04:28,520 Speaker 1: something that the Patriots might be looking to replace. I 99 00:04:28,560 --> 00:04:31,920 Speaker 1: agree with Mike's summation of the James White situation because 100 00:04:32,320 --> 00:04:35,080 Speaker 1: even if they lose Damien Harris, they still have Stevenson, 101 00:04:35,120 --> 00:04:38,440 Speaker 1: so the urgency is not huge. You can always pick 102 00:04:38,520 --> 00:04:41,520 Speaker 1: up a veteran guy to plug in, as you know, 103 00:04:41,600 --> 00:04:45,160 Speaker 1: the number two in a committee. But I do think 104 00:04:45,200 --> 00:04:46,800 Speaker 1: there's a chance that they're going to need another guy 105 00:04:46,839 --> 00:04:49,479 Speaker 1: to catch passes in the near future. And those are 106 00:04:49,520 --> 00:04:51,159 Speaker 1: a couple of guys that stood out to me. Yeah, 107 00:04:51,200 --> 00:04:54,200 Speaker 1: I mean James Cook probably right behind Cairo moments for me, 108 00:04:54,320 --> 00:04:57,160 Speaker 1: just in terms of Patriot fit, you know, a little bit, 109 00:04:57,200 --> 00:04:59,680 Speaker 1: a little bit smaller, a little bit more of that 110 00:04:59,720 --> 00:05:01,880 Speaker 1: out side zone kind of guy. So I think maybe 111 00:05:01,920 --> 00:05:04,960 Speaker 1: he has a little bit of that um thing where 112 00:05:04,960 --> 00:05:07,040 Speaker 1: he might be kind of stuck in that third down role. 113 00:05:07,080 --> 00:05:09,960 Speaker 1: But but I don't think that necessarily hurts him. Obviously, 114 00:05:10,080 --> 00:05:12,760 Speaker 1: good good blood lines there, and we know the Patriots 115 00:05:12,760 --> 00:05:16,160 Speaker 1: are well familiar with Georgia's running backs. I'm surprised I 116 00:05:16,200 --> 00:05:20,800 Speaker 1: didn't hear anybody talk about Bruce Hall from Iowa State speedster. Yeah, 117 00:05:20,839 --> 00:05:22,880 Speaker 1: oh yeah, you can run. And another guy with a 118 00:05:23,400 --> 00:05:26,359 Speaker 1: tremendous workload, I mean, over seven hundred carries in his 119 00:05:26,400 --> 00:05:29,520 Speaker 1: career um. Out of these guys, I think there's only 120 00:05:30,200 --> 00:05:32,080 Speaker 1: I think he had the most carries in his career 121 00:05:32,200 --> 00:05:34,800 Speaker 1: out of the guys that that I watched, and by 122 00:05:34,839 --> 00:05:38,039 Speaker 1: a good by a good amount. Yeah, another four three 123 00:05:38,279 --> 00:05:41,880 Speaker 1: nine kind of guy. Uh, five seventy five plus yard 124 00:05:41,960 --> 00:05:45,120 Speaker 1: touchdowns in his career. So great protulusive can can score 125 00:05:45,160 --> 00:05:48,159 Speaker 1: from anywhere. Um, and he catched the ball too. Yeah, 126 00:05:48,240 --> 00:05:51,560 Speaker 1: great hands, definitely. I I just my my notes power 127 00:05:51,680 --> 00:05:55,120 Speaker 1: and fast, my two notes on on him. I usually 128 00:05:55,120 --> 00:05:58,760 Speaker 1: go power speed combo. I'm ready it out. We all 129 00:05:58,760 --> 00:06:02,120 Speaker 1: have our own lingo into scouting. Man, do you know 130 00:06:02,120 --> 00:06:04,240 Speaker 1: how many times I've written versatile in the last like 131 00:06:04,240 --> 00:06:06,640 Speaker 1: ten years writing about the frigging draft. Like with these guys, 132 00:06:06,680 --> 00:06:08,400 Speaker 1: it's like versas, Oh boy, he can do it all, 133 00:06:08,480 --> 00:06:11,760 Speaker 1: let's go get him so uh, you know, moving down 134 00:06:13,240 --> 00:06:17,279 Speaker 1: day three kind of guys you mentioned Kennedy Brooks tease. 135 00:06:18,279 --> 00:06:19,920 Speaker 1: You know, it's kind of hard to get a gauge 136 00:06:20,040 --> 00:06:21,880 Speaker 1: is where these guys might get taken. There used to 137 00:06:21,880 --> 00:06:24,960 Speaker 1: be a website that I absolutely loved and I relied 138 00:06:24,960 --> 00:06:29,320 Speaker 1: on NFL Draft Scout, and it's no longer in service. 139 00:06:29,400 --> 00:06:32,360 Speaker 1: But they used to have projected rounds and they were 140 00:06:32,360 --> 00:06:36,119 Speaker 1: pretty good. I mean they were pretty accurate. I am 141 00:06:36,120 --> 00:06:38,480 Speaker 1: really like scouring all over the place to try to 142 00:06:38,520 --> 00:06:41,160 Speaker 1: find where these experts think these guys are gonna go. 143 00:06:41,720 --> 00:06:44,200 Speaker 1: I've seen him all over the place, Kennedy Brooks, I've 144 00:06:44,200 --> 00:06:47,520 Speaker 1: seen him in the twenties among running backs, and I've 145 00:06:47,560 --> 00:06:50,280 Speaker 1: seen him like as a third fourth round pick. So 146 00:06:50,400 --> 00:06:52,479 Speaker 1: there's no sort of rhyme or reason with these guys. 147 00:06:52,839 --> 00:06:55,080 Speaker 1: But what about Brooks did you really like? Um? I 148 00:06:55,120 --> 00:06:57,240 Speaker 1: watched the Red River showdown, I believe, and he just 149 00:06:57,320 --> 00:06:59,880 Speaker 1: took the game over. He can catch run a vase 150 00:07:00,080 --> 00:07:03,160 Speaker 1: of tease. He's a college football fan. See you know 151 00:07:03,200 --> 00:07:06,320 Speaker 1: what he does brings college football. He comes prepared, he 152 00:07:06,360 --> 00:07:09,920 Speaker 1: watches the game. Can't I just read this? Tell me 153 00:07:09,960 --> 00:07:11,960 Speaker 1: what he does now? He just gotta see stands out. 154 00:07:12,000 --> 00:07:13,880 Speaker 1: He has very good hands. I could totally see him 155 00:07:14,000 --> 00:07:16,680 Speaker 1: fit in here safety belt for Mac. But I think, Paul, 156 00:07:16,720 --> 00:07:18,880 Speaker 1: you're a point two of these guys being all over 157 00:07:18,920 --> 00:07:21,520 Speaker 1: the place, it's indicative, indicative of the whole draft as 158 00:07:21,520 --> 00:07:23,280 Speaker 1: a whole. I mean, we did the quarterbacks. You know, 159 00:07:23,280 --> 00:07:25,800 Speaker 1: we've talked about them. Just I think you look at 160 00:07:25,840 --> 00:07:28,000 Speaker 1: all the different projections, the different mocks, it's it's all 161 00:07:28,000 --> 00:07:30,440 Speaker 1: over the place. Um. But but you know, my one 162 00:07:30,440 --> 00:07:34,160 Speaker 1: one guy had a out of Missouri was Tyler Batty. Um, 163 00:07:34,200 --> 00:07:36,960 Speaker 1: he was kind of like my third guy down in 164 00:07:37,040 --> 00:07:40,400 Speaker 1: terms of you know, potential receiving back fifty four catches. 165 00:07:40,440 --> 00:07:42,520 Speaker 1: He's a little small he's not really going to be tough, 166 00:07:42,560 --> 00:07:44,560 Speaker 1: but I think once you get down into the into 167 00:07:44,600 --> 00:07:46,400 Speaker 1: the later rounds, you're getting guys that were maybe a 168 00:07:46,440 --> 00:07:49,600 Speaker 1: little bit more limited. So you know, he's he's the 169 00:07:49,600 --> 00:07:51,880 Speaker 1: third guy kind of in my my big three of 170 00:07:51,880 --> 00:07:54,240 Speaker 1: of James White potential. I also wanted to talk a 171 00:07:54,280 --> 00:07:57,960 Speaker 1: little bit about Brian Robinson for the obvious Alabama connection 172 00:07:58,360 --> 00:08:00,880 Speaker 1: that stands out, but also he's a guy you had 173 00:08:00,920 --> 00:08:04,120 Speaker 1: a tremendous senior season and you might be like, well, 174 00:08:04,120 --> 00:08:05,840 Speaker 1: why was the only play in one year? You know, 175 00:08:05,920 --> 00:08:09,000 Speaker 1: kind of like Mac Jones. It's Alabama. Okay, he was 176 00:08:09,040 --> 00:08:14,640 Speaker 1: behind Josh Jacobs and Naji Harris, even both Scarborough. I mean, 177 00:08:14,760 --> 00:08:16,520 Speaker 1: Alabama has had some I don't know if you know, 178 00:08:16,560 --> 00:08:19,560 Speaker 1: but Alabama is usually pretty talented and pretty deep at 179 00:08:19,600 --> 00:08:22,080 Speaker 1: the skill position, so he didn't get a lot of opportunities. 180 00:08:22,360 --> 00:08:24,520 Speaker 1: He got it this year. Two hundred and seventy one 181 00:08:24,560 --> 00:08:27,160 Speaker 1: carries thirteen hundred and forty three yards, you know, so 182 00:08:27,280 --> 00:08:30,680 Speaker 1: a really productive year. Also caught thirty five balls. So 183 00:08:31,840 --> 00:08:35,200 Speaker 1: say it with me, versatility to his game and an 184 00:08:35,240 --> 00:08:39,240 Speaker 1: Alabama connection, probably a Day three kind of guy. I 185 00:08:39,240 --> 00:08:41,200 Speaker 1: wouldn't I wouldn't. Yeah, wouldn't rule him out. I think 186 00:08:41,360 --> 00:08:42,960 Speaker 1: two to twenty five. I mean, I think that's what 187 00:08:43,040 --> 00:08:45,240 Speaker 1: stood out to me with him. You know, you talk 188 00:08:45,280 --> 00:08:48,240 Speaker 1: about maybe replacement if you're drafted and replace Harris next year. 189 00:08:48,559 --> 00:08:50,800 Speaker 1: Just the size that that that's really what what stood 190 00:08:50,800 --> 00:08:53,960 Speaker 1: out with him to me. Um, you know. And he's 191 00:08:53,960 --> 00:08:56,320 Speaker 1: not Derrick Henry h and I you know, he's not 192 00:08:56,400 --> 00:08:59,280 Speaker 1: Naji Harris either. But I think that there's some upside there. 193 00:08:59,280 --> 00:09:00,400 Speaker 1: And I mean, I think in the other thing you 194 00:09:00,440 --> 00:09:03,000 Speaker 1: get into two is these guys is like some guys 195 00:09:03,000 --> 00:09:05,199 Speaker 1: are really productive and they've had like six, seven, eight 196 00:09:05,280 --> 00:09:07,400 Speaker 1: hundred touches, and then you have other guys who are 197 00:09:07,400 --> 00:09:09,080 Speaker 1: really productive only in a couple of seasons, and so 198 00:09:09,200 --> 00:09:11,080 Speaker 1: you get into that how much terror do they have 199 00:09:11,160 --> 00:09:12,640 Speaker 1: on them? Is? You know? And so he's a guy 200 00:09:12,679 --> 00:09:16,040 Speaker 1: that you know you'd be on the other side, yeah, 201 00:09:16,080 --> 00:09:18,280 Speaker 1: too much. But this is a guy who maybe you say, 202 00:09:18,320 --> 00:09:20,240 Speaker 1: he hasn't gotten much of a chance and maybe now 203 00:09:20,440 --> 00:09:22,720 Speaker 1: in the pro game he's able to blossom. Especially because 204 00:09:22,760 --> 00:09:24,199 Speaker 1: of his size. He can he can carry the ball 205 00:09:24,200 --> 00:09:25,920 Speaker 1: and run. Guys, if anyone else you want to throw 206 00:09:25,920 --> 00:09:28,800 Speaker 1: out there, like Jerry and Elie, I believe he was 207 00:09:28,840 --> 00:09:31,840 Speaker 1: all miss, yeah, all miss kick returner two. You know, 208 00:09:32,360 --> 00:09:35,120 Speaker 1: first shifty guy catch the ball and he can plug 209 00:09:35,160 --> 00:09:37,480 Speaker 1: him with the kicks losing gunners. So yeah. And earlier 210 00:09:37,480 --> 00:09:39,440 Speaker 1: in the week when we talked about quarterbacks, Mike, you 211 00:09:39,480 --> 00:09:41,440 Speaker 1: brought up just the amount of talents that you're seeing 212 00:09:41,520 --> 00:09:45,240 Speaker 1: on Cincinnati and Jerome Ford. Here's another guy, um that 213 00:09:45,320 --> 00:09:47,839 Speaker 1: would fall into that category. He could be a Day 214 00:09:47,840 --> 00:09:52,280 Speaker 1: two pick. You know, he's you know, pretty productive guy. Uh, 215 00:09:52,320 --> 00:09:57,400 Speaker 1: you know, four four six forty so solid, you know, solid, 216 00:09:57,520 --> 00:10:01,600 Speaker 1: solid prospect. Had some again, another guy who caught some 217 00:10:01,640 --> 00:10:04,720 Speaker 1: passes as well, and since then, twenty one catches last year. 218 00:10:05,120 --> 00:10:06,880 Speaker 1: So he's another guy to sort of keep an eye on. 219 00:10:06,960 --> 00:10:10,600 Speaker 1: But I do think, Mike, at the beginning of this podcast, 220 00:10:10,640 --> 00:10:13,559 Speaker 1: you summarize the Patriot situation, I think it's probably more 221 00:10:14,440 --> 00:10:17,480 Speaker 1: third down type, I would say, as a higher priority, 222 00:10:17,480 --> 00:10:19,120 Speaker 1: but I wouldn't be surprised if they're looking for and 223 00:10:19,200 --> 00:10:23,200 Speaker 1: every down guy too, given Damian Harris's status entering the 224 00:10:23,200 --> 00:10:24,880 Speaker 1: final year of his deal. And I mean, I think, 225 00:10:24,920 --> 00:10:27,240 Speaker 1: you know, Ramandre is kind of an interesting example that 226 00:10:27,280 --> 00:10:30,120 Speaker 1: they selected him last year, you know, talking talking to 227 00:10:30,120 --> 00:10:31,520 Speaker 1: guys at the combat talking to one of his former 228 00:10:31,559 --> 00:10:33,400 Speaker 1: teammates at the Combine, one of the offensive linemen that 229 00:10:33,600 --> 00:10:35,560 Speaker 1: is also in the draft. You know, he called him 230 00:10:35,679 --> 00:10:37,240 Speaker 1: him a third down back, and you know, I don't 231 00:10:37,240 --> 00:10:38,679 Speaker 1: think any of us really looked at him as a 232 00:10:38,720 --> 00:10:41,560 Speaker 1: third down back. But I think what you're seeing, certainly 233 00:10:41,920 --> 00:10:44,320 Speaker 1: down down the list, some of these guys are a 234 00:10:44,320 --> 00:10:47,040 Speaker 1: little bit more specialized. But you know, you can't get 235 00:10:47,040 --> 00:10:48,600 Speaker 1: these guys who do it all. And I think that 236 00:10:48,640 --> 00:10:50,400 Speaker 1: maybe that, you know, maybe it doesn't have to be 237 00:10:50,800 --> 00:10:53,560 Speaker 1: as specific where all right, here comes our third down 238 00:10:53,559 --> 00:10:55,520 Speaker 1: back as what gun play we're gonna run here, you know, 239 00:10:55,880 --> 00:10:57,760 Speaker 1: So maybe you can get another guy that's a little 240 00:10:57,800 --> 00:11:00,720 Speaker 1: more balanced in and just be able to throw running 241 00:11:00,760 --> 00:11:03,480 Speaker 1: back out there independent of what down it is. All right, 242 00:11:03,520 --> 00:11:06,439 Speaker 1: so the train is rolling. We're we're well underway here 243 00:11:06,520 --> 00:11:11,839 Speaker 1: with our twenty twenty two version of the Draft Prospect Previews. 244 00:11:12,280 --> 00:11:15,800 Speaker 1: That's right. Did I say that? I almost never do. So. 245 00:11:15,840 --> 00:11:18,120 Speaker 1: We we gave your quarterbacks earlier in the week, we 246 00:11:18,200 --> 00:11:20,839 Speaker 1: give your running backs today. So next up we'll talk 247 00:11:20,880 --> 00:11:23,640 Speaker 1: about some of the receivers that'll be uh, look for 248 00:11:23,679 --> 00:11:25,480 Speaker 1: that one on Patriots dot Com in the near that's 249 00:11:25,480 --> 00:11:27,920 Speaker 1: a big one. That one that one might go a 250 00:11:27,960 --> 00:11:32,800 Speaker 1: little bit longer, I hope than these first couples.
