00:00:35,520 --> 00:00:38,320
Speaker 2: day here from L Reese's Senior Bowl and radio row,

11
00:00:42,000 --> 00:00:45,360
Speaker 2: And now we've got Jack Kaiser, Notre Dame linebacker, joining us. Jack,

12
00:00:45,640 --> 00:00:47,960
Speaker 2: we were just talking off air for a moment. The

13
00:00:48,040 --> 00:00:50,760
Speaker 2: run to the National Championship feels like it was yesterday

14
00:00:50,800 --> 00:00:54,560
Speaker 2: because it was basically yesterday, a longer season along the way.

15
00:00:54,640 --> 00:00:56,840
Speaker 2: Tell us what the quick turnaround has been like for

16
00:00:56,880 --> 00:00:59,360
Speaker 2: you and a lot of these other NFL draft prospects

17
00:00:59,360 --> 00:01:01,880
Speaker 2: to play such a long season and then turn it

18
00:01:01,920 --> 00:01:03,280
Speaker 2: around get in the draft mode.

19
00:01:03,480 --> 00:01:06,800
Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean I think it's you know, for my case,

20
00:01:06,840 --> 00:01:09,800
Speaker 3: it's been awesome, right. I was healthy coming out of

21
00:01:09,800 --> 00:01:11,840
Speaker 3: the season, and so the last month and a half

22
00:01:11,920 --> 00:01:14,440
Speaker 3: it feels like every ten days I've been playing in

23
00:01:14,480 --> 00:01:17,280
Speaker 3: a big time game. Well, after the National Championship, this

24
00:01:17,360 --> 00:01:19,680
Speaker 3: is kind of another ten day window to play in

25
00:01:19,720 --> 00:01:23,440
Speaker 3: another big game. Body feels great. Mentally, I'm sharp. I'm

26
00:01:23,440 --> 00:01:25,920
Speaker 3: still in football mode, right. I didn't become a track

27
00:01:25,920 --> 00:01:28,600
Speaker 3: star for a month and a half, and so I'm

28
00:01:28,640 --> 00:01:29,560
Speaker 3: just excited to be here.

29
00:01:29,959 --> 00:01:30,600
Speaker 4: That's awesome.

30
00:01:30,680 --> 00:01:34,200
Speaker 2: Now, you talked about the quick turnaround and some of

31
00:01:34,240 --> 00:01:38,080
Speaker 2: the I guess the routine that you continued into.

32
00:01:38,200 --> 00:01:40,560
Speaker 4: I mean, how tough is it to extend that a.

33
00:01:40,480 --> 00:01:43,840
Speaker 2: Little bit further because you've played a significant amount of

34
00:01:43,840 --> 00:01:45,240
Speaker 2: college football leading up to this.

35
00:01:45,600 --> 00:01:47,920
Speaker 4: The twelve team playoff threw another wrench into it.

36
00:01:48,320 --> 00:01:48,520
Speaker 5: Yeah.

37
00:01:48,600 --> 00:01:50,360
Speaker 3: I mean if you ever told me at the beginning

38
00:01:50,360 --> 00:01:51,760
Speaker 3: of the year, Hey, you got a chance to play

39
00:01:51,760 --> 00:01:54,160
Speaker 3: in sixteen games, and you get a chance to go

40
00:01:54,200 --> 00:01:55,960
Speaker 3: to the Senior Bowl and compete with the best of

41
00:01:56,000 --> 00:01:58,920
Speaker 3: the best, And like, I don't think I would hesitate

42
00:01:58,920 --> 00:02:00,600
Speaker 3: and signing up for that, right, Like that's what you

43
00:02:00,640 --> 00:02:02,960
Speaker 3: want to do as a competitor, Like that's the best

44
00:02:02,960 --> 00:02:05,440
Speaker 3: thing you can play in National Championship and Senior Bowl

45
00:02:05,480 --> 00:02:07,360
Speaker 3: like that sounds like the best year of football ever

46
00:02:07,800 --> 00:02:10,080
Speaker 3: and so very fortunate to be able to do that,

47
00:02:10,120 --> 00:02:10,520
Speaker 3: for sure.

48
00:02:10,960 --> 00:02:11,440
Speaker 6: I think so much.

49
00:02:11,520 --> 00:02:13,160
Speaker 7: A big part of that you guys has run this

50
00:02:13,200 --> 00:02:16,120
Speaker 7: year was the defense and yourself and Leonard Moore and

51
00:02:16,160 --> 00:02:18,840
Speaker 7: guys around you exave your Watson the secondary and your

52
00:02:18,880 --> 00:02:21,160
Speaker 7: defensive coordinator too. Al Golden just got hired by the

53
00:02:21,240 --> 00:02:24,160
Speaker 7: Cincinnati Bengals. Saw him that practiced yesterday. What did he

54
00:02:24,280 --> 00:02:26,440
Speaker 7: do well schematically that you feel like is going to

55
00:02:26,520 --> 00:02:28,720
Speaker 7: be able to take your game and translate it to

56
00:02:28,720 --> 00:02:29,520
Speaker 7: the NFL level.

57
00:02:29,760 --> 00:02:30,000
Speaker 5: Yeah.

58
00:02:30,000 --> 00:02:32,120
Speaker 3: I mean if you look at coach Golden's defense in

59
00:02:32,120 --> 00:02:34,680
Speaker 3: the scheme that we were running, like we had answers

60
00:02:34,720 --> 00:02:38,480
Speaker 3: for everything. We our playbook was so deep, but at

61
00:02:38,480 --> 00:02:40,440
Speaker 3: the same time, like guys knew it inside and out.

62
00:02:40,480 --> 00:02:43,720
Speaker 3: Guys were able to play fast with clarity and violence

63
00:02:43,800 --> 00:02:47,160
Speaker 3: and so just having answers being a poll from from

64
00:02:47,200 --> 00:02:51,320
Speaker 3: the bank that we had and then you know, also

65
00:02:51,360 --> 00:02:52,880
Speaker 3: to have the guys to be able to execute, right.

66
00:02:52,919 --> 00:02:54,639
Speaker 3: We played a lot of man coverage this year. You

67
00:02:54,720 --> 00:02:56,440
Speaker 3: can't do that if you don't have the guys to cover,

68
00:02:57,200 --> 00:02:59,440
Speaker 3: and that frees up, you know, and it allows you

69
00:02:59,520 --> 00:03:01,639
Speaker 3: to get create of up front the front seven a lot,

70
00:03:01,680 --> 00:03:05,040
Speaker 3: and so just very fortunate and learned a lot of

71
00:03:05,080 --> 00:03:08,400
Speaker 3: ball under him and super excited for his future, but

72
00:03:08,560 --> 00:03:10,120
Speaker 3: very appreciative of where he's done for me.

73
00:03:10,560 --> 00:03:12,320
Speaker 8: Yeah, a lot of rich history at Notre Dame.

74
00:03:12,520 --> 00:03:14,600
Speaker 9: Nobody in the history of the program has played more

75
00:03:14,600 --> 00:03:18,240
Speaker 9: games than you, though, Jack seventy games the experience. Did

76
00:03:18,280 --> 00:03:20,960
Speaker 9: you expect to play seventy games whenever you arrived on campus?

77
00:03:21,000 --> 00:03:22,040
Speaker 9: What was it five years ago?

78
00:03:22,520 --> 00:03:22,720
Speaker 5: Now?

79
00:03:22,840 --> 00:03:25,280
Speaker 3: I mean I cheated. I like to say I cheated.

80
00:03:25,480 --> 00:03:27,560
Speaker 3: I got the COVID year and was able to use that.

81
00:03:27,840 --> 00:03:30,520
Speaker 3: So hopefully that never gets broken because that means we're

82
00:03:30,560 --> 00:03:34,040
Speaker 3: in another pandemic. But true, No, it was super special

83
00:03:34,080 --> 00:03:36,240
Speaker 3: to be there and to have my whole career there

84
00:03:36,240 --> 00:03:38,920
Speaker 3: and see the people come and go and and just

85
00:03:39,040 --> 00:03:41,200
Speaker 3: there's so many amazing people at Notre Dame and the

86
00:03:41,760 --> 00:03:43,720
Speaker 3: history and the tradition and know that now you're a

87
00:03:43,720 --> 00:03:45,440
Speaker 3: part of that, like your name's in that.

88
00:03:46,120 --> 00:03:46,840
Speaker 5: It's pretty special.

89
00:03:46,880 --> 00:03:48,720
Speaker 9: And then talking again about the sixteen games from this

90
00:03:48,760 --> 00:03:51,600
Speaker 9: past season, I mean NFL seventeen game schedule now, so

91
00:03:51,640 --> 00:03:53,800
Speaker 9: it's basically kind of jumping into a routine. Do you

92
00:03:53,800 --> 00:03:55,800
Speaker 9: feel like you'd be better adjusted for the NFL schedule

93
00:03:55,800 --> 00:03:56,360
Speaker 9: as a result.

94
00:03:56,520 --> 00:03:58,240
Speaker 3: Yeah, I think, you know, I proved I'm I can

95
00:03:58,440 --> 00:04:00,640
Speaker 3: be there for the long haul, right. I can go

96
00:04:00,720 --> 00:04:05,640
Speaker 3: from July thirtieth all the way until you know, mid

97
00:04:05,760 --> 00:04:07,560
Speaker 3: January and playing football.

98
00:04:08,720 --> 00:04:11,120
Speaker 5: In this case February. And that's an NFL season, it

99
00:04:11,160 --> 00:04:11,560
Speaker 5: really is.

100
00:04:11,600 --> 00:04:13,960
Speaker 3: And so I feel like I proved I can be

101
00:04:14,000 --> 00:04:15,960
Speaker 3: a pro you know, take care of the body, you know,

102
00:04:16,000 --> 00:04:18,840
Speaker 3: be available every single week, like that's hard to do.

103
00:04:20,080 --> 00:04:22,120
Speaker 3: And so I think that certainly gives me edge of

104
00:04:22,480 --> 00:04:24,720
Speaker 3: you know, I've done this before. It's not my first time.

105
00:04:25,040 --> 00:04:27,200
Speaker 3: You know, I'm not gonna be mentally exhausted out of

106
00:04:27,200 --> 00:04:27,560
Speaker 3: the bat.

107
00:04:28,160 --> 00:04:31,440
Speaker 2: Now the Cowboys have certainly dipped into the pool of

108
00:04:31,480 --> 00:04:34,120
Speaker 2: Notre Dame linebackers in the past. Maris Leah Foul of

109
00:04:34,160 --> 00:04:36,880
Speaker 2: course on our team. Now, he had a great rookie season.

110
00:04:36,920 --> 00:04:39,039
Speaker 2: I mean, what was your connection with him like during

111
00:04:39,040 --> 00:04:42,440
Speaker 2: his time up in South End and playing alongside Big

112
00:04:42,520 --> 00:04:43,279
Speaker 2: number thirty five.

113
00:04:43,520 --> 00:04:45,359
Speaker 3: Yeah, Maris and I were in the same class, and

114
00:04:45,400 --> 00:04:48,000
Speaker 3: so it was really cool just to kind of go

115
00:04:48,120 --> 00:04:51,320
Speaker 3: up together and get better and develop with one another.

116
00:04:51,560 --> 00:04:53,600
Speaker 3: And then to see him, you know, have such a

117
00:04:53,640 --> 00:04:56,520
Speaker 3: great year this year, and and to talk to him

118
00:04:56,520 --> 00:04:58,800
Speaker 3: every so often. And now he's back in South Bend

119
00:04:58,880 --> 00:05:01,520
Speaker 3: and got to see him the facility, and so it

120
00:05:01,600 --> 00:05:03,679
Speaker 3: was just really cool to see him do so well.

121
00:05:04,560 --> 00:05:07,080
Speaker 5: Excited for him, and he's only gonna get better. He's

122
00:05:07,080 --> 00:05:08,919
Speaker 5: the type of the guy that's never gonna stop working.

123
00:05:09,040 --> 00:05:10,800
Speaker 2: Now, We've got a lot of film buffs that watch

124
00:05:10,920 --> 00:05:14,360
Speaker 2: this show, and a lot of them are Cowboys fans specifically,

125
00:05:14,400 --> 00:05:16,839
Speaker 2: so they know what Marius Leval brings to the table.

126
00:05:17,080 --> 00:05:19,279
Speaker 4: How does your game differ than what he did?

127
00:05:19,600 --> 00:05:21,360
Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean when you look at Maris like he's

128
00:05:21,360 --> 00:05:25,800
Speaker 3: a big He's a big guy, lengthy, he's explosive, very

129
00:05:25,920 --> 00:05:28,120
Speaker 3: dynamic player, right, he's going to get the ball out

130
00:05:28,200 --> 00:05:30,080
Speaker 3: like he's a playmaker.

131
00:05:31,080 --> 00:05:33,120
Speaker 5: I have that like in my own way.

132
00:05:33,160 --> 00:05:35,120
Speaker 3: But at the same time, like I feel like we're

133
00:05:35,160 --> 00:05:37,640
Speaker 3: my game. You know where I had the advantages, like

134
00:05:37,720 --> 00:05:41,599
Speaker 3: my preparation and my pre snap reads and just seeing

135
00:05:41,640 --> 00:05:45,640
Speaker 3: things on the field, seeing receiver split, seeing formations, you

136
00:05:45,640 --> 00:05:48,200
Speaker 3: know what's the tendencies here down distance, like kind of

137
00:05:48,240 --> 00:05:51,120
Speaker 3: processing all that put it together and then being ready

138
00:05:51,240 --> 00:05:54,359
Speaker 3: to recognize it and play fast when the ball snaps.

139
00:05:54,480 --> 00:05:55,320
Speaker 4: How tough is that to.

140
00:05:55,279 --> 00:05:57,880
Speaker 2: Do in an event like this where there's so many

141
00:05:57,880 --> 00:06:00,400
Speaker 2: different guys from so many different systems, and then it's

142
00:06:00,440 --> 00:06:03,599
Speaker 2: a new system on the other sideline that you're trying

143
00:06:03,640 --> 00:06:05,960
Speaker 2: to kind of figure out both in practice and then

144
00:06:06,000 --> 00:06:08,240
Speaker 2: another one coming up on Saturday in the game.

145
00:06:08,440 --> 00:06:10,560
Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean it's different, but at the same time,

146
00:06:10,720 --> 00:06:13,360
Speaker 3: you know football tendencies or football tendencies, and they.

147
00:06:13,279 --> 00:06:14,080
Speaker 5: Still show up here.

148
00:06:14,920 --> 00:06:17,480
Speaker 3: You know, a receiver who cuts play outside foot up,

149
00:06:17,880 --> 00:06:20,039
Speaker 3: he's gonna crack like that's this kind of stuff that

150
00:06:20,040 --> 00:06:22,400
Speaker 3: you see in football, and you see it here, and

151
00:06:22,440 --> 00:06:25,719
Speaker 3: so it allows you still play fast. And then we're

152
00:06:25,720 --> 00:06:28,280
Speaker 3: watching film every night, like you know, you pick it

153
00:06:28,360 --> 00:06:30,520
Speaker 3: up as the week goes. Oh, this is what they're

154
00:06:30,560 --> 00:06:33,880
Speaker 3: doing this week though, this is how they're you know, adjusting,

155
00:06:34,560 --> 00:06:37,479
Speaker 3: this is what the offensive scheme is. And so you

156
00:06:37,600 --> 00:06:39,360
Speaker 3: learn and and then you know by the d of

157
00:06:39,360 --> 00:06:42,000
Speaker 3: the week you're playing really fast and recognizing that stuff.

158
00:06:42,040 --> 00:06:42,280
Speaker 5: Again.

159
00:06:42,560 --> 00:06:44,359
Speaker 7: A big part of this week too, is not just

160
00:06:44,400 --> 00:06:45,880
Speaker 7: the stuff on the field, but what you do off

161
00:06:45,920 --> 00:06:48,760
Speaker 7: the field, meeting with NFL teams. How have those meetings

162
00:06:48,800 --> 00:06:51,200
Speaker 7: gone thus far and what if some of the feedback

163
00:06:51,240 --> 00:06:54,280
Speaker 7: that you've gotten from whether it be front offices, scouts,

164

168
00:07:03,680 --> 00:07:07,839
Speaker 3: and talk about the season we had. And I'm very fortunate,

169

173
00:07:17,320 --> 00:07:20,040
Speaker 3: can do, and what system we come from and what

174
00:07:20,040 --> 00:07:23,040
Speaker 3: we've been exposed to, and so a lot of those

175
00:07:23,120 --> 00:07:26,320
Speaker 3: questions like they kind of already have answered them for me,

176
00:07:26,600 --> 00:07:29,160
Speaker 3: and so that's been awesome. But just you know, just

177
00:07:29,200 --> 00:07:31,560
Speaker 3: trying to sit down, show them who Jack Kaiser is

Speaker 9: Yeah, we were talking a little bit before we got

181
00:07:36,960 --> 00:07:38,760
Speaker 9: on the are You're from a small town in Indiana

182
00:07:38,800 --> 00:07:39,760
Speaker 9: about eight hundred people.

183
00:07:39,800 --> 00:07:40,800
Speaker 8: Just talk about your upbringing.

184
00:07:41,240 --> 00:07:44,760
Speaker 3: Yeah, so Indiana kid, grew up in a small town,

185
00:07:44,800 --> 00:07:47,040
Speaker 3: grew up on a farm. Family in total has about

186
00:07:47,040 --> 00:07:50,200
Speaker 3: a thousand acres of corn, soybeans, grew up you know,

187
00:07:50,280 --> 00:07:52,240
Speaker 3: out in the fields driving tractors, and then we had

188
00:07:52,400 --> 00:07:57,880
Speaker 3: some animals in the summer and pigs, goats, you know, chickens,

189
00:07:57,920 --> 00:08:01,720
Speaker 3: like everything you can think of. I was the youngest

190
00:08:01,760 --> 00:08:04,200
Speaker 3: of four and so I always got the short end

191
00:08:04,240 --> 00:08:06,200
Speaker 3: the stick in terms of jobs. You know, Hey, you

192
00:08:06,240 --> 00:08:08,040
Speaker 3: go up in the hay mound or you like, you know,

193
00:08:08,160 --> 00:08:09,440
Speaker 3: throw me up on the roof and I.

194
00:08:09,400 --> 00:08:11,280
Speaker 5: Have to clean the gutters stuff like that.

195
00:08:12,520 --> 00:08:14,400
Speaker 3: But yeah, it just you know, learned how to work

196
00:08:14,440 --> 00:08:17,680
Speaker 3: hard at a really young age and certainly bring that

197
00:08:17,800 --> 00:08:18,800
Speaker 3: in my everyday life.

198
00:08:18,800 --> 00:08:21,360
Speaker 9: And of course in football, Notre Dame fan the whole

199
00:08:21,360 --> 00:08:26,520
Speaker 9: way I got you.

200
00:08:26,800 --> 00:08:30,600
Speaker 3: But uh, being you know, being farm you know, farm cut,

201
00:08:30,680 --> 00:08:31,800
Speaker 3: everybody roots for Purdue.

202
00:08:31,800 --> 00:08:33,200
Speaker 5: That's that school makes sense.

203
00:08:34,120 --> 00:08:36,520
Speaker 3: But at the same time, like their names, No Dame

204
00:08:36,640 --> 00:08:38,680
Speaker 3: exactly right, and so you know when they were on

205
00:08:38,760 --> 00:08:41,040
Speaker 3: national TV, you're rooting for him for sure.

206
00:08:41,280 --> 00:08:41,840
Speaker 4: That's awesome.

207
00:08:42,040 --> 00:08:46,240

Speaker 5: Okay.

296
00:12:19,120 --> 00:12:22,840
Speaker 2: Good to know uc LA linebacker joining us here. We

297
00:12:23,000 --> 00:12:25,240
Speaker 2: just talked with Jack Kaiser a moment ago, and the

298
00:12:25,280 --> 00:12:28,560
Speaker 2: linebacker position is so vertatile now in the NFL.

299
00:12:28,679 --> 00:12:31,160
Speaker 4: Tell us what you feel like your strengths are and

300
00:12:31,200 --> 00:12:32,640
Speaker 4: what you're bringing to the pro level.

301
00:12:32,960 --> 00:12:34,839
Speaker 20: A great question, r You said, I think versatility is

302
00:12:35,160 --> 00:12:37,760
Speaker 20: named to the game. Being able to do multiple things

303
00:12:37,760 --> 00:12:39,880
Speaker 20: in the scheme, whether it's playing off the ball linebacker

304
00:12:40,000 --> 00:12:42,839
Speaker 20: or on the ball a third down pass rushing, or

305
00:12:42,960 --> 00:12:44,839
Speaker 20: just you know, playing the run game all the ball, on.

306
00:12:44,800 --> 00:12:46,680
Speaker 21: The ball, striking, playing physical.

307
00:12:46,800 --> 00:12:50,120
Speaker 20: So I think having all those assets with physicality and

308
00:12:50,280 --> 00:12:53,480
Speaker 20: violence explosiveness just makes a great player.

309
00:12:53,800 --> 00:12:55,880
Speaker 2: And you could see that in your practices, you can

310
00:12:55,920 --> 00:12:57,600
Speaker 2: see that in your film as well.

311
00:12:57,640 --> 00:12:59,520
Speaker 4: How's the week been so far for you?

312
00:13:00,040 --> 00:13:01,760
Speaker 2: Getting to interact with some of the best players at

313
00:13:01,760 --> 00:13:02,679
Speaker 2: each of their positions.

314
00:13:02,720 --> 00:13:04,360
Speaker 21: Man, it's been great. It's been a blessing.

315
00:13:04,559 --> 00:13:06,920
Speaker 20: It's a great opportunity, uh, just to compete with the

316
00:13:06,920 --> 00:13:09,360
Speaker 20: best and to really try to make a name for yourself.

317
00:13:09,880 --> 00:13:13,600
Speaker 20: I think I've had two okay practices. Some I say

318
00:13:13,600 --> 00:13:15,080
Speaker 20: it's been really good, but I still know I can

319
00:13:15,120 --> 00:13:15,480
Speaker 20: get more.

320
00:13:15,800 --> 00:13:17,040
Speaker 8: It's been really good in my opinion.

321
00:13:18,040 --> 00:13:20,240
Speaker 6: Second back, she said.

322
00:13:20,000 --> 00:13:21,920
Speaker 20: It no voices going right now because I've been so

323
00:13:22,000 --> 00:13:24,600
Speaker 20: on the jeddak and excited and yelling and just having fun.

324
00:13:24,679 --> 00:13:27,719
Speaker 20: But it's been awesome, man, you know, had great conversations

325
00:13:27,720 --> 00:13:30,720
Speaker 20: with great people and networking and just making opportunities.

326
00:13:30,720 --> 00:13:30,880
Speaker 5: Man.

327
00:13:30,920 --> 00:13:33,760
Speaker 20: And the people playing here, I said yesterday future all

328
00:13:33,800 --> 00:13:35,120
Speaker 20: of famers. So it's been a blessing.

329
00:13:35,840 --> 00:13:37,160
Speaker 6: Kyle kind of mentioned it a second ago.

330
00:13:37,160 --> 00:13:39,040
Speaker 7: But you with your versatility, that's something that pops out

331
00:13:39,040 --> 00:13:41,320
Speaker 7: on film and it's popped out in practice, whether it

332
00:13:41,320 --> 00:13:43,240
Speaker 7: beyond the ball, off the ball. Where do you feel

333
00:13:43,280 --> 00:13:45,880
Speaker 7: like you're at your best and in terms of where

334
00:13:45,880 --> 00:13:48,160
Speaker 7: you're playing and what kind of situation you're playing it.

335
00:13:48,280 --> 00:13:50,439
Speaker 21: Yeah, I'm meant to be on the ball all it means.

336
00:13:50,440 --> 00:13:52,520
Speaker 20: I'm know, I played my first three years in college,

337
00:13:52,679 --> 00:13:56,320
Speaker 20: in my first three games my senior year, but you know,

338
00:13:56,360 --> 00:13:58,719
Speaker 20: the transition was a natural one and this one that

339
00:13:58,760 --> 00:14:00,920
Speaker 20: should happened a long time ago. But I'm just want

340
00:14:00,920 --> 00:14:02,360
Speaker 20: to play well at the end of the day. But

341
00:14:02,400 --> 00:14:06,400
Speaker 20: I believe I'm most efficient and effective on the ball.

342
00:14:06,800 --> 00:14:09,840
Speaker 7: And so what about that transition, Like you mentioned playing

343
00:14:09,920 --> 00:14:11,839
Speaker 7: middle linebacker for the first three years, in the three

344
00:14:11,880 --> 00:14:15,800
Speaker 7: games this year, you know, with that smaller sample size

345
00:14:15,840 --> 00:14:17,880
Speaker 7: of real game action in college, how do you feel

346
00:14:17,880 --> 00:14:19,840
Speaker 7: like you've grown already and how do you feel like

347
00:14:19,880 --> 00:14:21,840
Speaker 7: that's going to translate to the professional level.

348
00:14:21,920 --> 00:14:22,440
Speaker 21: Absolutely?

349
00:14:22,480 --> 00:14:24,480
Speaker 20: Yeah, So I think, you know, the first thing I

350
00:14:24,520 --> 00:14:26,640
Speaker 20: really had to get down was just a pass rushing

351
00:14:27,760 --> 00:14:30,160
Speaker 20: or I got to learn over the few weeks that

352
00:14:30,200 --> 00:14:32,400
Speaker 20: I first transitioned. I mean, it actually is an ORI's

353
00:14:32,480 --> 00:14:35,680
Speaker 20: a craft. The one note always help you in that area.

354
00:14:35,720 --> 00:14:38,720
Speaker 20: There's just motor and effort, but to some extent comes

355
00:14:39,280 --> 00:14:42,600
Speaker 20: being a mastermind and playing chestnut checkers. So I think

356
00:14:42,640 --> 00:14:45,560
Speaker 20: for me, just continue to improve my past rushing, continue

357
00:14:45,560 --> 00:14:48,600
Speaker 20: to improve my technique, and they just gets you the polishing.

358
00:14:48,400 --> 00:14:50,320
Speaker 9: Every year there's probably about three or four guys that

359
00:14:50,400 --> 00:14:52,280
Speaker 9: come here and they really stamp their stock and have

360
00:14:52,360 --> 00:14:54,800
Speaker 9: a great week. I'd put you in that category right now.

361
00:14:54,840 --> 00:14:56,080
Speaker 9: As far as what you've been able to do in

362
00:14:56,120 --> 00:14:59,440
Speaker 9: one on ones and pass our situations. How much prep

363
00:14:59,440 --> 00:15:01,320
Speaker 9: has gone into the this game, specifically over the course

364
00:15:01,360 --> 00:15:01,880
Speaker 9: of the last month.

365
00:15:01,920 --> 00:15:02,760
Speaker 8: What does that look like for you.

366
00:15:03,000 --> 00:15:05,440
Speaker 20: Yeah, I'm trying to Dallas, Texas right now at ex

367
00:15:05,480 --> 00:15:08,720
Speaker 20: oson great coach coach Brandon Tucker's give me great advice

368
00:15:08,760 --> 00:15:10,920
Speaker 20: and also shout out to my coach at UCLA, coach

369
00:15:10,960 --> 00:15:15,560
Speaker 20: mcloy Coach t They've really helped me a lot to

370
00:15:15,600 --> 00:15:19,000
Speaker 20: be prepared, yes, for this moment, but just overall everything

371
00:15:19,080 --> 00:15:19,880
Speaker 20: coming in front of him.

372
00:15:19,880 --> 00:15:21,680
Speaker 8: Shout out to Big Tuck last year.

373
00:15:22,520 --> 00:15:25,120
Speaker 9: Last year Lyle to Lots obviously had went through this

374
00:15:25,200 --> 00:15:27,160
Speaker 9: exact same process. Was there anything you were able to

375
00:15:27,240 --> 00:15:29,080
Speaker 9: kind of peel back from him and kind of see

376
00:15:29,080 --> 00:15:31,320
Speaker 9: what that process is like before jumping into it a

377
00:15:31,320 --> 00:15:31,760
Speaker 9: little bit.

378
00:15:31,880 --> 00:15:33,920
Speaker 20: Didn't get to speak on too much, but me and

379
00:15:33,960 --> 00:15:36,120
Speaker 20: lotcho actually in the same area that fun I played

380
00:15:36,120 --> 00:15:37,480
Speaker 20: in my high school my sophomore year.

381
00:15:38,320 --> 00:15:41,560
Speaker 21: He was dominant, tied in not even tied end.

382
00:15:41,640 --> 00:15:43,880
Speaker 20: But yeah, I mean I got to watch all the

383
00:15:43,920 --> 00:15:46,120
Speaker 20: film a lot too and get advice.

384
00:15:45,760 --> 00:15:48,120
Speaker 21: From a coach who coached him about this process.

385
00:15:49,000 --> 00:15:52,040
Speaker 2: Another guy that at least just of course we know

386
00:15:52,240 --> 00:15:55,240
Speaker 2: very closely that played off ball quite a bit in college,

387
00:15:55,480 --> 00:15:57,600
Speaker 2: figured out a little bit of the pass rush, was

388
00:15:57,640 --> 00:15:59,160
Speaker 2: able to take that to the NFL level.

389
00:15:59,160 --> 00:16:00,640
Speaker 4: Goes by the name of Mike the partsons.

390
00:16:01,160 --> 00:16:03,840
Speaker 2: How much have you watched him and what he does

391
00:16:03,840 --> 00:16:06,520
Speaker 2: well at the NFL level and maybe some of the

392
00:16:06,560 --> 00:16:08,280
Speaker 2: other guys that you've modeled your game after.

393
00:16:08,400 --> 00:16:12,040
Speaker 20: Yeah, Michael, he's a He's a great player, explosive, dominant,

394
00:16:12,320 --> 00:16:14,360
Speaker 20: But he was actually probably the first player I started

395
00:16:14,400 --> 00:16:17,800
Speaker 20: to watch. Wow, when I transition to it was him

396
00:16:17,800 --> 00:16:20,600
Speaker 20: a lot to Actually I watched a lot to practice

397
00:16:20,600 --> 00:16:23,600
Speaker 20: film because I had access to it, and I watched

398
00:16:23,600 --> 00:16:26,160
Speaker 20: on the game film on Michael Parsons.

399
00:16:26,560 --> 00:16:28,720
Speaker 2: What did you see that stuck out and what do

400
00:16:28,800 --> 00:16:31,080
Speaker 2: you feel like you kind of mirror from his game?

401
00:16:32,120 --> 00:16:34,720
Speaker 20: I think Michael can rush from any plays on the

402
00:16:34,760 --> 00:16:36,760
Speaker 20: field where it's on the guard, on the center of

403
00:16:36,800 --> 00:16:37,280
Speaker 20: the tackle.

404
00:16:37,920 --> 00:16:39,720
Speaker 21: Yesterday I rest on the guard.

405
00:16:40,400 --> 00:16:43,760
Speaker 20: So just trying to, you know, find the best matchups

406
00:16:43,800 --> 00:16:47,520
Speaker 20: and just be be more athletic than man in front

407
00:16:47,520 --> 00:16:50,080
Speaker 20: of his twitch. He's explosive, he he knows what he

408
00:16:50,120 --> 00:16:52,080
Speaker 20: wants to do, he has a plan. He's just aggressive.

409
00:16:52,480 --> 00:16:54,160
Speaker 7: But you know, this year with U c l A

410
00:16:54,280 --> 00:16:55,960
Speaker 7: Moving to the Big ten, I still don't know if

411
00:16:55,960 --> 00:16:57,760
Speaker 7: that sounds right to you, because it still doesn't sound

412
00:16:58,200 --> 00:16:59,640
Speaker 7: It's gonna take some time to get used to that.

413
00:16:59,720 --> 00:17:02,360
Speaker 7: But the conference as a whole is known for how

414
00:17:02,400 --> 00:17:04,520
Speaker 7: strong it is the line of scrimmage on both sides.

415
00:17:04,560 --> 00:17:06,800
Speaker 7: And not to say the Pac twelve wasn't that in

416
00:17:06,840 --> 00:17:08,960
Speaker 7: your time there, but what did you realize about some

417
00:17:09,000 --> 00:17:10,480
Speaker 7: of the newer teams that you played in, some of

418
00:17:10,480 --> 00:17:12,000
Speaker 7: the newer faces that you had to see on the

419
00:17:12,040 --> 00:17:12,720
Speaker 7: other side there?

420
00:17:13,160 --> 00:17:16,399
Speaker 20: Man, I I truly believe football is football. What you

421
00:17:16,480 --> 00:17:18,600
Speaker 20: put in is what you get out. Everybody's human. So

422
00:17:19,119 --> 00:17:22,000
Speaker 20: the conference change, it wasn't really like a oh my

423
00:17:22,040 --> 00:17:23,720
Speaker 20: gosh moment, at least to me. You know, I don't

424
00:17:23,720 --> 00:17:26,560
Speaker 20: see that out of arrogance but just confidence. But I think,

425
00:17:26,680 --> 00:17:28,520
Speaker 20: like I said, everybody's hearing. Man, Like what you put

426
00:17:28,520 --> 00:17:30,040
Speaker 20: in the light room is what you get out. If

427
00:17:30,040 --> 00:17:32,400
Speaker 20: I'm working the man next to me, I'm gonna give results.

428
00:17:32,560 --> 00:17:34,359
Speaker 20: You know what I'm saying. So it was a great

429
00:17:34,520 --> 00:17:37,440
Speaker 20: transition in my opinion. I think it helps you CLA

430
00:17:37,480 --> 00:17:39,959
Speaker 20: because it shows we can compete. Just about our season,

431
00:17:39,960 --> 00:17:42,320
Speaker 20: I think we really should have won three games that

432
00:17:42,400 --> 00:17:44,399
Speaker 20: we lost, But I thought we competed. I thought we

433
00:17:44,400 --> 00:17:46,040
Speaker 20: showed that we can fight. And I don't know cause

434
00:17:46,080 --> 00:17:47,520
Speaker 20: Foster's gonna change the program up there.

435
00:17:47,560 --> 00:17:49,160
Speaker 9: I want to dive a little bit more into being

436
00:17:49,160 --> 00:17:51,560
Speaker 9: able to rush the passer from any one on the line,

437
00:17:51,600 --> 00:17:53,680
Speaker 9: whether it be at zero tech or at wide nine.

438
00:17:54,000 --> 00:17:54,840
Speaker 8: What would you say?

439
00:17:55,000 --> 00:17:57,440
Speaker 9: You know, some guys obviously are better fit from pass

440
00:17:57,520 --> 00:17:59,480
Speaker 9: rushing in the interior because they're shorter, they're better in

441
00:17:59,520 --> 00:18:01,800
Speaker 9: those kind of you know, a close confines. And then

442
00:18:01,800 --> 00:18:03,920
Speaker 9: the white nine it's getting the bind, it's finding the

443
00:18:03,960 --> 00:18:06,760
Speaker 9: explosion around the edge. Where would you say, why are

444
00:18:06,800 --> 00:18:08,280
Speaker 9: you good at zero technic and why are you good

445
00:18:08,320 --> 00:18:09,959
Speaker 9: at white nine if you were to be lined up

446
00:18:09,960 --> 00:18:11,960
Speaker 9: in those two different situations on a pass rush down.

447
00:18:12,080 --> 00:18:14,119
Speaker 20: Yeah, so it's situation that would be in a you know,

448
00:18:14,200 --> 00:18:16,600
Speaker 20: third down, third third and long thirty seven plus.

449
00:18:16,640 --> 00:18:19,240
Speaker 21: But I like the center. I like the center. The guard.

450
00:18:20,040 --> 00:18:22,360
Speaker 20: They're they're they're they're not the most probably the most

451
00:18:22,400 --> 00:18:23,560
Speaker 20: unethle the guys in the field.

452
00:18:23,920 --> 00:18:28,480
Speaker 9: Respect we have a former center on the show back

453
00:18:28,480 --> 00:18:30,040
Speaker 9: at home well to be sure and tell them that

454
00:18:30,119 --> 00:18:32,520
Speaker 9: shut out to Brian's it's.

455
00:18:32,400 --> 00:18:34,879
Speaker 20: Just like you can beat the most speed, but then

456
00:18:35,640 --> 00:18:37,240
Speaker 20: if you're a powerful god, which I believe I am,

457
00:18:37,280 --> 00:18:39,560
Speaker 20: I can sneak in power on you and still bully you.

458
00:18:39,560 --> 00:18:40,240
Speaker 21: You know what I'm saying.

459
00:18:40,320 --> 00:18:42,240
Speaker 20: So it just gives you the best way, and it's

460
00:18:42,800 --> 00:18:46,760
Speaker 20: it's the shortest measure to the quarterback.

461
00:18:47,359 --> 00:18:49,800
Speaker 21: This is faster than coming from it, so I can

462
00:18:49,880 --> 00:18:50,359
Speaker 21: get there now.

463
00:18:50,480 --> 00:18:52,359
Speaker 9: As far as being out if you're lined up out

464
00:18:52,359 --> 00:18:54,639
Speaker 9: of white nine, trying to create that bind and obviously

465
00:18:54,720 --> 00:18:57,000
Speaker 9: having the experience at off ball having to get used

466
00:18:57,040 --> 00:18:59,119
Speaker 9: to that, what would you say you put in as

467
00:18:59,160 --> 00:19:02,480
Speaker 9: far as flexibility, dexterity during the week and training the

468
00:19:02,520 --> 00:19:03,960
Speaker 9: body to be able to do things like that, because

469
00:19:03,960 --> 00:19:06,119
Speaker 9: it's an awkward movement, like if you're not used to it,

470
00:19:06,119 --> 00:19:07,720
Speaker 9: it takes some time to kind of get around and

471
00:19:07,720 --> 00:19:10,080
Speaker 9: figure out what that edge that edge rush looks like.

472
00:19:10,200 --> 00:19:10,520
Speaker 21: Very true.

473
00:19:10,560 --> 00:19:12,600
Speaker 20: Yeah, I mean I think for myself, like I said

474
00:19:12,600 --> 00:19:16,480
Speaker 20: with Coach mcloy and coach ted up working that bend,

475
00:19:16,600 --> 00:19:19,119
Speaker 20: working the hoop bend, working you know, singing the hips

476
00:19:19,160 --> 00:19:22,159
Speaker 20: and staying low to the ground and instide toe facing

477
00:19:22,280 --> 00:19:25,040
Speaker 20: where you're going. So just working a lot of extra

478
00:19:25,080 --> 00:19:27,680
Speaker 20: reps and just continue to pu polish my game.

479
00:19:27,760 --> 00:19:29,680
Speaker 8: So a very technical process all the way to show.

480
00:19:29,720 --> 00:19:29,880
Speaker 5: Yeah.

481
00:19:29,880 --> 00:19:31,399
Speaker 20: So I mean a lot of that out thing was natural.

482
00:19:31,680 --> 00:19:33,600
Speaker 20: But now to you know, go from good because I

483
00:19:33,600 --> 00:19:36,600
Speaker 20: think on natural is good. Let you go from good

484
00:19:36,640 --> 00:19:38,080
Speaker 20: to great. Gotta work on the tekenee.

485
00:19:38,720 --> 00:19:41,520
Speaker 2: I will say one thing just over this conversation, your

486
00:19:41,640 --> 00:19:44,439
Speaker 2: energy is infectious and so I can see that on

487
00:19:44,480 --> 00:19:46,760
Speaker 2: the field. I can see that through your work and

488
00:19:46,800 --> 00:19:49,280
Speaker 2: your tape all the way through. Uh, We're excited about

489
00:19:49,400 --> 00:19:51,359
Speaker 2: getting to cover you over these next couple of months

490
00:19:51,359 --> 00:19:53,560
Speaker 2: through the NFL draft. But what would it mean for

491
00:19:53,600 --> 00:19:55,320
Speaker 2: you to end up with a star on the side

492
00:19:55,359 --> 00:19:58,040
Speaker 2: of your helmet and rush alongside guys like Micah Parsons

493
00:19:58,080 --> 00:19:59,560
Speaker 2: that you've watched in the past, if.

494
00:19:59,480 --> 00:20:02,160
Speaker 20: You bless them? Man, I've been saying for the week.

495
00:20:02,280 --> 00:20:05,000
Speaker 20: You know, we're right, end up whatever thirty two teams

496
00:20:05,080 --> 00:20:07,879
Speaker 20: is a blessing. But Dallas specifically kind of funny because

497
00:20:08,080 --> 00:20:10,080
Speaker 20: I'm actually like seven minutes lear from the story, right now.

498
00:20:10,320 --> 00:20:13,320
Speaker 20: Oh okay, Yeah, I'm living in playing though, so down

499
00:20:13,400 --> 00:20:15,679
Speaker 20: the street. It wouldn't be much of a move, but

500
00:20:15,680 --> 00:20:18,119
Speaker 20: it'd be awesome, honestly, great history around the program.

501
00:20:18,600 --> 00:20:18,719
Speaker 8: Uh.

502
00:20:18,960 --> 00:20:22,000
Speaker 20: One of my former coaches, King Norton Junior. Yeah, great

503
00:20:22,119 --> 00:20:25,399
Speaker 20: legend South Coast Norton. Uh, he played there, obviously won

504
00:20:25,480 --> 00:20:26,920
Speaker 20: a super Bowl with them.

505
00:20:27,200 --> 00:20:27,720
Speaker 21: It'd be awesome.

506
00:20:27,760 --> 00:20:29,520

522
00:21:00,240 --> 00:21:02,520

523
00:21:02,560 --> 00:21:05,080

Speaker 2: shown on the field at Hancock Whitney.

572
00:23:22,400 --> 00:23:24,119
Speaker 24: Yeah, Uh, you know, I think, like you said, it

573
00:23:24,160 --> 00:23:26,040
Speaker 24: has been a great week. You know, I think for me,

574
00:23:26,119 --> 00:23:28,399
Speaker 24: it's got a you know, stay consistent. Uh, you know,

575
00:23:28,400 --> 00:23:30,280
Speaker 24: I think it's been it's been a great week so far.

576
00:23:30,680 --> 00:23:32,200
Speaker 24: But I think just continue to go out there and

577
00:23:32,200 --> 00:23:34,520
Speaker 24: show what I can do, continue to you know, show

578
00:23:34,520 --> 00:23:36,680
Speaker 24: who I am off the field, and just can kind

579
00:23:36,720 --> 00:23:38,960
Speaker 24: of continue to build off the opportunity that's.

580
00:23:38,800 --> 00:23:39,280
Speaker 5: Coming my way.

581
00:23:39,400 --> 00:23:42,840
Speaker 2: We've talked a lot about the trenches on this show

582
00:23:42,880 --> 00:23:46,240
Speaker 2: throughout the week, and uh, the pass catchers certainly have

583
00:23:46,320 --> 00:23:49,639
Speaker 2: shined pretty bright along the way. But that's tough to

584
00:23:49,680 --> 00:23:51,479
Speaker 2: do in a week like this when you're catching passes

585
00:23:51,520 --> 00:23:54,280
Speaker 2: from new quarterbacks, you're running routes in new systems, you're

586
00:23:54,280 --> 00:23:56,520
Speaker 2: trying to do some new things. What's been the biggest

587
00:23:56,600 --> 00:23:59,480
Speaker 2: challenge for you throughout the week of practice so far.

588
00:24:00,080 --> 00:24:02,440
Speaker 24: Yeah, you know, like you said, it is a challenging week.

589
00:24:02,960 --> 00:24:05,000
Speaker 24: It's a busy week. But I think, you know, it's

590
00:24:05,000 --> 00:24:06,639
Speaker 24: been a lot of fun. This is the best, the

591
00:24:06,640 --> 00:24:08,800
Speaker 24: best in the draft class. Like they talk about just

592
00:24:08,840 --> 00:24:10,040
Speaker 24: being able to compete with these guys has been a

593
00:24:10,040 --> 00:24:13,200
Speaker 24: lot of fun for me. It's it's been a cool opportunity.

594
00:24:13,440 --> 00:24:15,360
Speaker 24: I'm thankful to be able to be down here also

595
00:24:15,400 --> 00:24:17,359
Speaker 24: meet with a lot of teams and be able to

596
00:24:17,359 --> 00:24:19,320
Speaker 24: just showcase a type of player I am, type of

597
00:24:19,359 --> 00:24:21,480
Speaker 24: team at I am, uh, dominic character I am. So

598
00:24:21,520 --> 00:24:22,840
Speaker 24: I think it's just been, you know, a lot of

599
00:24:22,840 --> 00:24:24,359
Speaker 24: great opportunity and I'm thankful to you.

600
00:24:24,560 --> 00:24:26,760
Speaker 7: Yeah, you mentioned it briefly there, but meeting with the

601
00:24:26,760 --> 00:24:28,360
Speaker 7: teams is a big part of this week as well.

602
00:24:28,359 --> 00:24:31,000
Speaker 7: One of those meetings been like and when coaches or

603
00:24:31,040 --> 00:24:33,960
Speaker 7: scouts or front office staff are giving you maybe some

604
00:24:34,160 --> 00:24:36,639
Speaker 7: constructive criticism on what they've seen on film from he

605
00:24:36,720 --> 00:24:38,920
Speaker 7: or during practice this week, what's some of that been

606
00:24:38,960 --> 00:24:40,520
Speaker 7: and how how are they telling you that you can

607
00:24:40,560 --> 00:24:41,000
Speaker 7: get better?

608
00:24:41,240 --> 00:24:43,680
Speaker 24: Yeah, you know, I think I just got to learn

609
00:24:43,720 --> 00:24:45,920
Speaker 24: how transition into being a pro. You know, I think

610
00:24:45,920 --> 00:24:48,560
Speaker 24: college football it's a lot different. So just being able

611
00:24:48,600 --> 00:24:51,000
Speaker 24: to transition into being a pro carry myself like that,

612
00:24:51,160 --> 00:24:53,080
Speaker 24: you know, uh, twenty four to seven on and off

613
00:24:53,080 --> 00:24:55,160
Speaker 24: the field. I think, you know, it's been a lot

614
00:24:55,160 --> 00:24:57,360
Speaker 24: of great information that they've given me. But just being

615
00:24:57,400 --> 00:24:59,040
Speaker 24: able to, you know, take the coach and take the

616
00:24:59,040 --> 00:25:02,159
Speaker 24: criticism sometimes. Something I learned at Clemson was just you

617
00:25:02,200 --> 00:25:03,720
Speaker 24: don't want to listen to the message, but listen to

618
00:25:03,760 --> 00:25:05,840
Speaker 24: the or listen to the don't listened to the tone.

619
00:25:05,880 --> 00:25:06,840
Speaker 5: We listen to the message.

620
00:25:07,119 --> 00:25:09,040
Speaker 24: And just being able to, you know, gather all the

621
00:25:09,080 --> 00:25:11,920
Speaker 24: coaching I can try and get as as much better

622
00:25:11,960 --> 00:25:13,360
Speaker 24: as I can, as quickly.

623
00:25:13,119 --> 00:25:13,520
Speaker 5: As I can.

624
00:25:13,600 --> 00:25:16,119
Speaker 7: And Deblo Swinney's produced so much NFL talent in his

625
00:25:16,200 --> 00:25:18,399
Speaker 7: time at Clemson, You'll be the latest example of that.

626
00:25:18,480 --> 00:25:21,760
Speaker 7: With his history and seeing guys jump from his program

627
00:25:21,760 --> 00:25:24,040
Speaker 7: to the next level. What is his mentorship been like

628
00:25:24,080 --> 00:25:25,320
Speaker 7: and what are some of the things that he's taught

629
00:25:25,320 --> 00:25:27,080
Speaker 7: to you that's helped prepare you for that process?

630
00:25:27,359 --> 00:25:27,560
Speaker 4: Yeah?

631
00:25:27,720 --> 00:25:28,960
Speaker 5: Uh, you know, Coach Tweny's great.

632
00:25:29,359 --> 00:25:31,240
Speaker 24: You know, I think the way he runs his program,

633
00:25:31,240 --> 00:25:33,120
Speaker 24: the culture that he's created, was a lot of things

634
00:25:33,119 --> 00:25:34,520
Speaker 24: that attracted me to be able to commit through out

635
00:25:34,520 --> 00:25:37,359
Speaker 24: of high school. But I think just you know, the

636
00:25:37,359 --> 00:25:39,720
Speaker 24: man of faith that he is, the way he you know,

637
00:25:39,840 --> 00:25:41,800
Speaker 24: loves his players, the way he cares about his players.

638
00:25:42,119 --> 00:25:44,439
Speaker 24: You know, I think I'm an example of that. You know,

639
00:25:44,440 --> 00:25:45,920
Speaker 24: he says he's more worried about the thirty year old

640
00:25:45,960 --> 00:25:47,600
Speaker 24: version of yourself, more so than what you can do

641
00:25:47,600 --> 00:25:49,720
Speaker 24: as a college football player. So, you know, I think

642
00:25:49,760 --> 00:25:53,040
Speaker 24: he he cares about us genuinely. He wants us to

643
00:25:53,040 --> 00:25:55,720
Speaker 24: be great husband's, great fathers, you know, something I aspired

644
00:25:55,760 --> 00:25:57,879
Speaker 24: to be one day. So I think, you know, just

645
00:25:57,920 --> 00:25:59,960
Speaker 24: growing as a man, growing in my faith. You know,

646
00:26:00,040 --> 00:26:01,679
Speaker 24: I think those are the coolest things that you know,

647
00:26:01,720 --> 00:26:03,000
Speaker 24: as other beneficiaries are going to.

648
00:26:02,960 --> 00:26:05,000
Speaker 8: Clemson, dive into some sicko stuff here.

649
00:26:05,040 --> 00:26:06,879
Speaker 9: The tight end position is the most unique one in

650
00:26:06,920 --> 00:26:09,160
Speaker 9: the game, just because you find yourself doing just about

651
00:26:09,160 --> 00:26:11,640
Speaker 9: everything offensively except throw the ball. You're gonna pass protec,

652
00:26:11,640 --> 00:26:13,440
Speaker 9: You're gonna run, block, you're gonna catch the ball. Sometimes

653
00:26:13,440 --> 00:26:15,600
Speaker 9: you might even carry the ball. From your perspective, I

654
00:26:15,600 --> 00:26:17,360
Speaker 9: think a lot of people know you're receiving next because

655
00:26:17,359 --> 00:26:19,160
Speaker 9: you got the length and you're able to do that downfield,

656
00:26:19,200 --> 00:26:21,240
Speaker 9: You're able to do that in short quarters. As far

657
00:26:21,240 --> 00:26:23,480
Speaker 9: as your overall game and things that don't show up

658
00:26:23,520 --> 00:26:25,200
Speaker 9: in the stat sheet, what would you say stands out?

659
00:26:25,560 --> 00:26:27,399
Speaker 24: Yeah, you know, I think I'll bring a lot of

660
00:26:27,480 --> 00:26:30,480
Speaker 24: versatility to an offense. You know, I think I can

661
00:26:30,480 --> 00:26:32,800
Speaker 24: create mismatches outside. I can also compete and make a

662
00:26:32,840 --> 00:26:35,000
Speaker 24: difference in the run game. But I think something that's

663
00:26:35,000 --> 00:26:37,280
Speaker 24: different about me, you know, I think just a type

664
00:26:37,280 --> 00:26:38,040
Speaker 24: of teammate I am.

665
00:26:38,400 --> 00:26:39,360
Speaker 4: H you know, I'm a competitor.

666
00:26:39,600 --> 00:26:41,840
Speaker 24: I'm gonna compete every single day, but I also want

667
00:26:41,840 --> 00:26:44,399
Speaker 24: to build guys up, you know, build confidence in them. Ultimately,

668
00:26:44,440 --> 00:26:46,399
Speaker 24: we're all in the same team, you know, striving for

669
00:26:46,440 --> 00:26:47,240
Speaker 24: the same common goal.

670
00:26:47,359 --> 00:26:50,600
Speaker 9: Or does a competitive competitiveness come from siblings growing up

671
00:26:50,640 --> 00:26:52,879
Speaker 9: or parents they're playing video games with with friends?

672
00:26:52,880 --> 00:26:54,200
Speaker 8: What's what's that come from?

673
00:26:54,200 --> 00:26:56,160
Speaker 6: I would say it's a mix of all all those.

674
00:26:56,640 --> 00:26:56,800
Speaker 5: You know.

675
00:26:56,840 --> 00:26:58,760
Speaker 24: I got an older brother, so I you know, I

676
00:26:58,800 --> 00:27:01,400
Speaker 24: definitely learned that at a young age. I'm just having

677
00:27:01,440 --> 00:27:04,040
Speaker 24: to you know, compete, you know always, you know, just having.

678
00:27:03,960 --> 00:27:05,920
Speaker 5: Fun with him. And I like to talk about the

679
00:27:05,960 --> 00:27:06,800
Speaker 5: video games. Uh.

680
00:27:06,800 --> 00:27:08,399
Speaker 24: You know, I love playing the game with my friends.

681
00:27:08,960 --> 00:27:10,720
Speaker 24: You know, I'm really close to my roommates and teammates

682
00:27:10,760 --> 00:27:12,639
Speaker 24: back home. So just you know, anytime we hop on

683
00:27:12,680 --> 00:27:15,159
Speaker 24: there playing Ncuble, a Madden, you know, whatever it is.

684
00:27:15,720 --> 00:27:17,480
Speaker 24: You know, I always want to win. Uh, So you know,

685
00:27:17,520 --> 00:27:19,560
Speaker 24: it doesn't really matter what we're doing. I just want

686
00:27:19,560 --> 00:27:22,000
Speaker 24: to win, and I kind of carry that same mindset

687
00:27:22,040 --> 00:27:23,640
Speaker 24: onto the field, and you know, I just that's that's

688
00:27:23,680 --> 00:27:26,960
Speaker 24: how I carry myself as a man, just throughout everything. So,

689
00:27:27,040 --> 00:27:29,200
Speaker 24: you know, it's been like I said this week, it's

690
00:27:29,240 --> 00:27:30,160
Speaker 24: been a great experience.

691
00:27:30,880 --> 00:27:31,080
Speaker 5: Yeah.

692
00:27:31,240 --> 00:27:33,919
Speaker 24: I think I'm just most thankful for the competition and

693
00:27:33,960 --> 00:27:35,240
Speaker 24: you know, the type of guys that get to do

694
00:27:35,359 --> 00:27:35,720
Speaker 24: next two.

695
00:27:36,119 --> 00:27:37,920
Speaker 2: We have a lot of fans that watch the show

696
00:27:38,040 --> 00:27:41,159
Speaker 2: and want a lot of listeners that love watching.

697
00:27:40,840 --> 00:27:42,720
Speaker 4: Film and they've seen what you can do from a

698
00:27:42,760 --> 00:27:43,680
Speaker 4: receiving ability.

699
00:27:44,000 --> 00:27:46,439
Speaker 2: Uh, what's your mindset when you're blocking, when you are

700
00:27:46,480 --> 00:27:48,320
Speaker 2: trying to pass protect, or you are trying to run

701
00:27:48,320 --> 00:27:51,040
Speaker 2: block or trying to lead the way? What's your mentality

702
00:27:51,040 --> 00:27:52,439
Speaker 2: that you've taken throughout your career.

703
00:27:52,680 --> 00:27:54,480
Speaker 24: Yeah, you know, I think it just comes down to

704
00:27:54,520 --> 00:27:57,399
Speaker 24: being physical, having a willing mindset. Uh, you know, I

705
00:27:57,400 --> 00:27:59,000
Speaker 24: think I do have that. You know, I think I'm

706
00:27:59,000 --> 00:28:00,720
Speaker 24: a willing blocker. You know, I want to do it.

707
00:28:01,200 --> 00:28:03,440
Speaker 24: I think the most rewarding feeling as a tight end,

708
00:28:04,000 --> 00:28:05,879
Speaker 24: especially in the run game, is just when you and

709
00:28:05,960 --> 00:28:07,960
Speaker 24: all five offensive linemen are all on the same page.

710
00:28:07,800 --> 00:28:09,440
Speaker 5: And then the running back gets an explosive play.

711
00:28:10,040 --> 00:28:12,959
Speaker 24: Sometimes a tight end position is kind of an unselfish position.

712
00:28:13,520 --> 00:28:15,240
Speaker 5: You gotta kind of you know, do some of the

713
00:28:15,280 --> 00:28:15,800
Speaker 5: dirty work.

714
00:28:16,160 --> 00:28:18,520
Speaker 24: But I think the reward for another player and ultimately

715
00:28:18,560 --> 00:28:20,640
Speaker 24: fun points on the board is you know, very rewarding.

716
00:28:20,800 --> 00:28:22,480
Speaker 7: And to kind of build off of that with if

717
00:28:22,480 --> 00:28:24,560
Speaker 7: you if you were to have our fans go back

718
00:28:24,600 --> 00:28:26,480
Speaker 7: and watch film, there's plenty of games for you to

719
00:28:26,520 --> 00:28:28,399
Speaker 7: watch as a receiver where you've played well as a

720
00:28:28,400 --> 00:28:30,919
Speaker 7: ball catcher. But if you had to give them a

721
00:28:30,920 --> 00:28:33,440
Speaker 7: game where you feel like you dominated as an inline

722
00:28:33,520 --> 00:28:36,200
Speaker 7: run blocker or in line pass blocker, what do you

723
00:28:36,280 --> 00:28:37,720
Speaker 7: can you think back to a game where you feel

724
00:28:37,720 --> 00:28:38,680
Speaker 7: like you did that really well.

725
00:28:38,760 --> 00:28:40,520
Speaker 24: Yeah, I would say go watch South Carolina tape them

726
00:28:40,520 --> 00:28:42,400
Speaker 24: this last year. You know, I think we have them.

727
00:28:42,320 --> 00:28:43,960
Speaker 8: Up front, that's a good front.

728
00:28:44,400 --> 00:28:46,560
Speaker 24: Yeah, yeah, they had they had a really good defense.

729
00:28:46,840 --> 00:28:47,840
Speaker 24: But I think you know, we had a good game

730
00:28:47,880 --> 00:28:49,920
Speaker 24: playing going into that game. You know, shout out to

731
00:28:49,920 --> 00:28:52,400
Speaker 24: those guys on South Carolina team. You know they had

732
00:28:52,600 --> 00:28:54,160
Speaker 24: they have played a good game. You know, they got

733
00:28:54,160 --> 00:28:56,600
Speaker 24: the better of us, not the negative against them, But

734
00:28:56,640 --> 00:28:58,280
Speaker 24: you know, I think we did a good job getting

735
00:28:58,280 --> 00:28:58,800
Speaker 24: our job done.

736
00:28:59,320 --> 00:29:00,800
Speaker 5: And we you know, we played well.

737
00:29:00,640 --> 00:29:02,080
Speaker 9: I believe you told me yesterday that you met with

738
00:29:02,080 --> 00:29:04,400
Speaker 9: the Cowboys this week. Correct, Yeah, do you remember anything

739
00:29:04,400 --> 00:29:05,760
Speaker 9: from that meeting? I know you've had a lot of meetings.

740
00:29:05,800 --> 00:29:07,520
Speaker 9: Do you remember anything one from that one specifically?

741
00:29:07,600 --> 00:29:07,719
Speaker 16: Oh?

742
00:29:07,800 --> 00:29:09,240
Speaker 24: Yeah, you know it was it was a really good

743
00:29:09,480 --> 00:29:10,960
Speaker 24: you know, just opportunity to be able to sit down

744
00:29:10,960 --> 00:29:13,040
Speaker 24: with them and kind of just showcase type of man

745
00:29:13,120 --> 00:29:15,880
Speaker 24: I am, you know, show them how I carry myself

746
00:29:15,880 --> 00:29:17,840
Speaker 24: off the field. I'm more so than just a football player,

747
00:29:18,160 --> 00:29:19,640
Speaker 24: you know, So just being able to, you know, let

748
00:29:19,640 --> 00:29:21,640
Speaker 24: them get to know me, to get to know me,

749
00:29:21,960 --> 00:29:23,520
Speaker 24: get to know my personality, and get to know the

750
00:29:23,520 --> 00:29:25,360
Speaker 24: type of teammate, type of leader I am. So I

751
00:29:25,360 --> 00:29:27,240
Speaker 24: think just being able to, you know, in a short

752
00:29:27,240 --> 00:29:29,160
Speaker 24: time span, you know, be able to let them know

753
00:29:29,200 --> 00:29:29,840
Speaker 24: that the real me.

754
00:29:30,120 --> 00:29:30,320
Speaker 5: Yeah.

755
00:29:30,400 --> 00:29:32,440
Speaker 9: Do you know much about Jake Ferguson or have you

756
00:29:32,480 --> 00:29:34,640
Speaker 9: modeled anything in your game after him?

757
00:29:34,920 --> 00:29:35,400
Speaker 5: Yeah?

758
00:29:35,400 --> 00:29:37,120
Speaker 24: You know, I think he's a great tight end, you know,

759
00:29:37,160 --> 00:29:39,920
Speaker 24: I think he makes a difference for you guys in Dallas.

760
00:29:40,200 --> 00:29:41,520
Speaker 5: But I think the coolest thing.

761
00:29:42,080 --> 00:29:44,080
Speaker 24: Is just for me have an opportunity to be able

762
00:29:44,120 --> 00:29:45,840
Speaker 24: to go compete with these type of guys, you know,

763
00:29:45,880 --> 00:29:47,720
Speaker 24: I think, uh, these are the best players in the

764
00:29:47,720 --> 00:29:50,200
Speaker 24: world at this position. So as being able to be

765
00:29:50,280 --> 00:29:52,520
Speaker 24: a part of that, you know, going into the NFL

766
00:29:52,520 --> 00:29:53,640
Speaker 24: as a young guy, you know, I want to be

767
00:29:53,640 --> 00:29:56,360
Speaker 24: able to just learn learn from guys that have done

768
00:29:56,400 --> 00:29:58,560
Speaker 24: it at a high level. You know, they got anything

769
00:29:58,600 --> 00:30:00,400
Speaker 24: I can learn from their game, kind of met it

770
00:30:00,400 --> 00:30:01,600
Speaker 24: into my own way and kind of putting in my

771
00:30:01,640 --> 00:30:02,160
Speaker 24: own tool box.

772
00:30:02,240 --> 00:30:04,040
Speaker 9: Yea, And I think Andrew Booth is the only Clemson

773
00:30:04,080 --> 00:30:06,240
Speaker 9: Tiger in the locker room, so I.

774
00:30:06,240 --> 00:30:10,480
Speaker 8: Need to add an extra another one. The dude, for sure,

775
00:30:10,640 --> 00:30:12,040
Speaker 8: he's funny. Man, he's funny.

776
00:30:12,360 --> 00:30:12,560
Speaker 4: Jake.

777
00:30:12,840 --> 00:30:17,280
Speaker 2: You you mentioned, uh, the well rounded side of your game,

778
00:30:17,320 --> 00:30:18,960
Speaker 2: and and you're you're going up against some of the

779
00:30:18,960 --> 00:30:21,080
Speaker 2: guys that are also well rounded during this week of

780
00:30:21,120 --> 00:30:24,120
Speaker 2: the Senior Bowl, but throughout your entire collegiate career, including

781
00:30:24,400 --> 00:30:27,080
Speaker 2: the practices so far, who stands out as a guy

782
00:30:27,120 --> 00:30:29,480
Speaker 2: that you've matched up against that that stands off the

783
00:30:29,480 --> 00:30:30,120
Speaker 2: page for you?

784
00:30:31,160 --> 00:30:33,200
Speaker 24: Yeah? I think, you know, there's been a lot of

785
00:30:33,240 --> 00:30:35,520
Speaker 24: a lot of great talent here. You know, I think

786
00:30:36,000 --> 00:30:39,160
Speaker 24: a couple of my favorite dues I've enjoyed watching Walter Nolan. Uh,

787
00:30:39,240 --> 00:30:41,080
Speaker 24: you know, I think He's done a really good job,

788
00:30:41,120 --> 00:30:43,120
Speaker 24: and I think Dion's also, you know, done a good job.

789
00:30:43,600 --> 00:30:45,760
Speaker 24: And then on the offensive side, uh, you know, jack

790
00:30:45,800 --> 00:30:47,960
Speaker 24: beshis had a really good week, so just being and

791
00:30:47,960 --> 00:30:49,520
Speaker 24: then Jackson Dart I think has done a good job

792
00:30:49,560 --> 00:30:51,920
Speaker 24: as well. So I'm just trying to, you know, continue

793
00:30:51,960 --> 00:30:54,240
Speaker 24: to build relationships with those guys. You know, you know,

794
00:30:54,600 --> 00:30:56,480
Speaker 24: we're going through the same process together, so just you know,

796
00:30:58,640 --> 00:31:00,480

872
00:34:12,200 --> 00:34:14,480
Speaker 25: in two years, so it looked a little different. I

873
00:34:14,480 --> 00:34:18,360
Speaker 25: hopped out the plan, but it means a lot because

874
00:34:18,640 --> 00:34:20,600
Speaker 25: coming down here is just one of those things, like

875
00:34:20,640 --> 00:34:22,640
Speaker 25: you want to showcase why you wanted the best in

876
00:34:22,640 --> 00:34:24,399
Speaker 25: the country. You got the best of the best here

877
00:34:24,400 --> 00:34:28,040
Speaker 25: from dB D line quarterbacks, so you want to be

878
00:34:28,080 --> 00:34:31,440
Speaker 25: able to have that that factor about you, like how

879
00:34:31,480 --> 00:34:34,200
Speaker 25: can you separate yourself from these guys out here? So

880
00:34:34,560 --> 00:34:36,719
Speaker 25: I definitely took it with pride and wanted to come

881
00:34:36,719 --> 00:34:38,160
Speaker 25: out here and just showcase while I'm here.

882
00:34:38,239 --> 00:34:41,520
Speaker 2: You took that both figuratively and literally of how to

883
00:34:41,560 --> 00:34:45,160
Speaker 2: separate yourself from the other individuals out there, because you

884
00:34:45,200 --> 00:34:47,560
Speaker 2: built plenty of separation throughout.

885
00:34:47,560 --> 00:34:49,160
Speaker 4: What's led to the success.

886
00:34:48,840 --> 00:34:52,719
Speaker 2: On the field of it was a film work preparation

887
00:34:52,840 --> 00:34:53,600
Speaker 2: going into it.

888
00:34:54,120 --> 00:34:57,320
Speaker 4: The workouts are what led you to having this success

889
00:34:57,320 --> 00:34:57,640
Speaker 4: this week.

890
00:34:57,880 --> 00:35:01,799
Speaker 25: I'm definitely saying my preparation through the entire day, Like

891
00:35:01,920 --> 00:35:05,200
Speaker 25: how am I prepared for today or throughout this whole week?

892
00:35:05,239 --> 00:35:08,680
Speaker 25: How can I separate myself with every guy here? Like,

893
00:35:08,760 --> 00:35:11,640
Speaker 25: for example, I'm waking up at five o'clock before everybody here.

894
00:35:11,640 --> 00:35:13,879
Speaker 25: It wakes up like I'm one of those guys that's

895
00:35:13,880 --> 00:35:16,640
Speaker 25: gonna be going over my playbook and being able to

896
00:35:17,200 --> 00:35:18,640
Speaker 25: know the plays before I get out there.

897
00:35:18,840 --> 00:35:21,439
Speaker 5: Why is the quarterback doing this? Why am I doing

898
00:35:21,440 --> 00:35:22,040
Speaker 5: this right here?

899
00:35:22,560 --> 00:35:25,000
Speaker 25: And I tell you with pride, like I want to

900
00:35:25,000 --> 00:35:28,080
Speaker 25: be able to separate myself from a lot of people

901
00:35:28,440 --> 00:35:32,040
Speaker 25: because like it's an eater'll be eating game out here.

902
00:35:32,120 --> 00:35:35,080
Speaker 5: So and the type of receiver I am, you have

903
00:35:35,160 --> 00:35:36,279
Speaker 5: to be, And.

904
00:35:37,719 --> 00:35:39,200
Speaker 25: Like I said, I'd take it with pride, and I'd

905
00:35:39,200 --> 00:35:40,480
Speaker 25: never take anything for granted.

906
00:35:40,480 --> 00:35:43,359
Speaker 7: When I'm here, you've been eating a lot. I would say,

907
00:35:43,440 --> 00:35:45,719
Speaker 7: so far to these first three practices. But when you

908
00:35:45,760 --> 00:35:48,440
Speaker 7: watch your film at Oregon and especially here in practices

909
00:35:48,960 --> 00:35:51,040
Speaker 7: just at the line of scrimmage, you win so fast

910
00:35:51,040 --> 00:35:53,000
Speaker 7: with your footwork and just getting out of the breaks quick.

911
00:35:53,520 --> 00:35:55,520
Speaker 7: What is it about your skill set that you feel

912
00:35:55,560 --> 00:35:57,799
Speaker 7: so strongly about in terms of what you can do

913
00:35:58,280 --> 00:36:00,560
Speaker 7: early on in those first couple of steps to make

914
00:36:00,600 --> 00:36:03,120
Speaker 7: a defensive back either flip their hips or make them

915
00:36:03,160 --> 00:36:04,839
Speaker 7: decide on one way that you're going so you can

916
00:36:04,840 --> 00:36:05,640
Speaker 7: win the route early.

917
00:36:06,320 --> 00:36:08,239
Speaker 5: It's a chest game between me and a dB.

918
00:36:08,680 --> 00:36:12,200
Speaker 25: So I know a lot of things far as like

919
00:36:12,480 --> 00:36:16,880
Speaker 25: why dB is doing certain stuff. Thankful to my coach

920
00:36:16,920 --> 00:36:20,520
Speaker 25: at Orgon Junior Adams, Cooper cup Tank Dale and Tyler

921
00:36:20,560 --> 00:36:24,080
Speaker 25: Lockett so and t J was Mazada because I trained

922
00:36:24,080 --> 00:36:28,160
Speaker 25: with him at uh La right now, So when I

923
00:36:28,200 --> 00:36:29,919
Speaker 25: walk up to a line, I see what DV is doing.

924
00:36:29,960 --> 00:36:32,879
Speaker 5: He's he's a lot like on his toes a lot.

925
00:36:33,760 --> 00:36:36,480
Speaker 25: I know he's gonna try to get hands on press,

926
00:36:37,760 --> 00:36:39,360
Speaker 25: but if he's on his heel, he don't want to

927
00:36:39,400 --> 00:36:42,680
Speaker 25: get be deep at all and if he's just flat footed,

928
00:36:42,680 --> 00:36:44,960
Speaker 25: his hips is lock. He can't turn the other way.

929
00:36:44,640 --> 00:36:47,640
Speaker 25: No way impossible, you can get there. But I know

930
00:36:47,680 --> 00:36:49,400
Speaker 25: those things before I even get to the line of screamage,

931
00:36:49,400 --> 00:36:50,480
Speaker 25: and I know what I'm doing and I know how

932
00:36:50,480 --> 00:36:53,640
Speaker 25: to win. And it's one of those things that I've

933
00:36:53,719 --> 00:36:55,640
Speaker 25: always been able to do.

934
00:36:55,719 --> 00:36:58,880
Speaker 5: I was always shifty, but before.

935
00:36:58,600 --> 00:37:00,560
Speaker 25: I got the Organ, I was just running ask people

936
00:37:00,920 --> 00:37:02,360
Speaker 25: on the ball in my hand. That's when I'd be

937
00:37:02,719 --> 00:37:05,600
Speaker 25: able to be a playmaker. But it definitely changed when

938
00:37:05,600 --> 00:37:07,960
Speaker 25: I got to Organ and being able to know coverages,

939
00:37:08,000 --> 00:37:10,440
Speaker 25: no dbs and know how they finna play and.

940
00:37:10,719 --> 00:37:12,160
Speaker 5: A lot of people played a big role in that

941
00:37:12,200 --> 00:37:12,520
Speaker 5: for sure.

942
00:37:12,560 --> 00:37:16,160
Speaker 9: For me, talk about this game being eating eat or

943
00:37:16,160 --> 00:37:18,200
Speaker 9: be eaten, the game of life can very much be

944
00:37:18,280 --> 00:37:21,359
Speaker 9: the same exact way. Growing up in Penson, Alabama, I'm

945
00:37:21,400 --> 00:37:23,439
Speaker 9: familiar with their story, but to people who are maybe

946
00:37:23,480 --> 00:37:26,040
Speaker 9: not familiar with your story growing up, what was that

947
00:37:26,160 --> 00:37:27,600
Speaker 9: like for you and then being taken in by the

948
00:37:27,600 --> 00:37:30,160
Speaker 9: family of bo Nicks and everything like that associated with it.

949
00:37:30,520 --> 00:37:32,560
Speaker 25: When I was a sophomore in high school, like obviously

950
00:37:32,640 --> 00:37:35,080
Speaker 25: I was a bad kid, and I'm pretty sure a

951
00:37:35,120 --> 00:37:36,799
Speaker 25: lot of people was hard hitted when they was a kid,

952
00:37:36,880 --> 00:37:40,399
Speaker 25: but now I was a little bit of stream. I'm

953
00:37:40,760 --> 00:37:45,440
Speaker 25: definitely leaving my bio femine to go with the Nixes.

954
00:37:45,480 --> 00:37:47,399
Speaker 25: It was definitely a big change because I was scared

955
00:37:47,440 --> 00:37:49,360
Speaker 25: to death. I didn't know it was like how it

956
00:37:49,400 --> 00:37:53,440
Speaker 25: was going to be. But they took me in with

957
00:37:53,480 --> 00:37:55,560
Speaker 25: open arms like they didn't know a kid from a

958
00:37:55,600 --> 00:37:58,600
Speaker 25: Canna paint, and they welcomed me into the house, and

959
00:37:58,800 --> 00:38:01,680
Speaker 25: I was like, Okay, this can be good for me.

960
00:38:02,040 --> 00:38:05,880
Speaker 25: And throughout that whole time, I'm watching both from a distance,

961
00:38:06,040 --> 00:38:08,520
Speaker 25: like all right, this is how he talked to coaches,

962
00:38:08,880 --> 00:38:11,080
Speaker 25: this is how he prepared for a practice, and this

963
00:38:11,160 --> 00:38:12,560
Speaker 25: is why he do this on a game day.

964
00:38:13,120 --> 00:38:16,600
Speaker 5: And I took it like, okay, I have to do that.

965
00:38:16,719 --> 00:38:19,160
Speaker 25: I never told him that because like I didn't want

966
00:38:19,200 --> 00:38:21,680
Speaker 25: him to be like pressured at the time, where like

967
00:38:21,840 --> 00:38:23,799
Speaker 25: look at me in a different type of way. But

968
00:38:23,960 --> 00:38:25,880
Speaker 25: pretty sure like now that I came out with and

969
00:38:25,880 --> 00:38:27,279
Speaker 25: and said that, he's gonna definitely hear it.

970
00:38:28,400 --> 00:38:29,799
Speaker 5: He's he's one of those guys.

971
00:38:29,840 --> 00:38:31,600
Speaker 25: I tried to model my game out there, even though

972
00:38:31,600 --> 00:38:33,080
Speaker 25: I was a receiver, Like he used to go out

973
00:38:33,080 --> 00:38:35,200
Speaker 25: there at six o'clock at night, met him and dad

974
00:38:35,200 --> 00:38:38,040
Speaker 25: and just go catch. But I didn't want to. I'm like, bro,

975
00:38:38,120 --> 00:38:40,080
Speaker 25: it's six o'clock a night. We got school in the morning.

976
00:38:40,640 --> 00:38:44,359
Speaker 25: Like my hands is hurting. I didn't used to catch like.

977
00:38:44,719 --> 00:38:46,400
Speaker 25: I didn't used to catch the ball very good. I

978
00:38:46,480 --> 00:38:48,920
Speaker 25: used to just drop a lot of pass but I

979
00:38:49,000 --> 00:38:52,560
Speaker 25: progressively got better. My first game junior year receiver, I

980
00:38:52,560 --> 00:38:55,600
Speaker 25: played against Whover High School George Pickens, and that's when

981
00:38:55,600 --> 00:38:56,480
Speaker 25: I literally saw.

982
00:38:56,280 --> 00:38:58,879
Speaker 5: A guy like he goes up and grab a ball.

983
00:38:58,920 --> 00:38:59,719
Speaker 5: I'm like, oooh.

984
00:39:00,040 --> 00:39:01,879
Speaker 25: That's when I knew George Picks was really like one

985
00:39:01,880 --> 00:39:04,040
Speaker 25: of those guys that you don't want to mess with

986
00:39:04,080 --> 00:39:04,800
Speaker 25: as far as guard.

987
00:39:04,920 --> 00:39:06,600
Speaker 5: But I did have a pretty.

988
00:39:06,320 --> 00:39:07,640
Speaker 25: Good game, and I was like, Okay, I can play

989
00:39:07,680 --> 00:39:10,000
Speaker 25: this game, but now I got some more stuff to

990
00:39:10,000 --> 00:39:13,680
Speaker 25: work on. And I knew that at a young age. Yeah,

991
00:39:13,760 --> 00:39:15,200
Speaker 25: it was just one of those things. They took me

992
00:39:15,239 --> 00:39:17,600
Speaker 25: in and wanted me to be a part of their

993
00:39:17,600 --> 00:39:19,520
Speaker 25: family and they just did it out of love.

994
00:39:19,760 --> 00:39:22,120
Speaker 9: So yeah, and then even coming out of high school,

995
00:39:22,160 --> 00:39:23,640
Speaker 9: people were still doubting that you had to go the

996
00:39:23,680 --> 00:39:26,319
Speaker 9: G five route going to Troy and proving yourself there

997
00:39:27,280 --> 00:39:29,840
Speaker 9: going into that opportunity. How much of that did you

998
00:39:29,840 --> 00:39:31,239
Speaker 9: want to make of it to end up at a

999
00:39:31,239 --> 00:39:33,520
Speaker 9: program like Oregon and succeeds.

1000
00:39:34,000 --> 00:39:35,759
Speaker 25: I didn't know I was going to Oregon at all,

1001
00:39:35,880 --> 00:39:37,680
Speaker 25: Like out of high school. When they didn't offer me,

1002
00:39:37,719 --> 00:39:40,080
Speaker 25: I was like, Okay, my dream is not going to

1003
00:39:40,160 --> 00:39:42,160
Speaker 25: be what I always thought.

1004
00:39:42,239 --> 00:39:44,319
Speaker 8: So Oregon was your dream? Yeah, okay, got you.

1005
00:39:44,400 --> 00:39:47,040
Speaker 25: Sad Like Orgon was my dream school to go to

1006
00:39:47,160 --> 00:39:50,759
Speaker 25: no matter what. I was not going to Alabama. I

1007
00:39:50,800 --> 00:39:53,760
Speaker 25: wanted to go to Arguron with Bowe and play with them, but.

1008
00:39:53,560 --> 00:39:55,360
Speaker 5: It took a different route. So when I got.

1009
00:39:55,200 --> 00:39:58,560
Speaker 25: The Troy, Kobe happened play that year, We got that

1010
00:39:58,680 --> 00:40:01,120
Speaker 25: year back played three years at the that and I

1011
00:40:01,200 --> 00:40:05,239
Speaker 25: was like, Okay, I'm really good right now, Like my

1012
00:40:05,640 --> 00:40:07,560
Speaker 25: skill is a little different from the guys at Troy

1013
00:40:07,640 --> 00:40:07,960
Speaker 25: right now.

1014
00:40:10,200 --> 00:40:11,080
Speaker 5: Even the coaches knew.

1015
00:40:11,080 --> 00:40:13,640
Speaker 25: They was like, hey, hey, you're you're one of those

1016
00:40:13,640 --> 00:40:16,040
Speaker 25: guys that you can take a chance on yourself. Even

1017
00:40:16,080 --> 00:40:19,440
Speaker 25: the fans and towards the end of the season and

1018
00:40:19,440 --> 00:40:21,040
Speaker 25: my dad started talking about it, I was scared to

1019
00:40:21,040 --> 00:40:23,040
Speaker 25: have to hop back in because of my I thought

1020
00:40:23,080 --> 00:40:26,000
Speaker 25: there's gonna be another narrative like hey, you your side difference,

1021
00:40:26,080 --> 00:40:27,960
Speaker 25: Like I thought I was going to like Houston or

1022
00:40:28,040 --> 00:40:30,680
Speaker 25: like Louisville Memphis, because I texted him like, hey, you

1023
00:40:30,680 --> 00:40:33,520
Speaker 25: think we're gonna take me him jokingly saying nah, probably not.

1024
00:40:34,320 --> 00:40:36,160
Speaker 5: The whole time he was recruiting.

1025
00:40:35,719 --> 00:40:41,680
Speaker 25: Me, Like at heart, I was like, man, really all right,

1026
00:40:41,680 --> 00:40:43,200
Speaker 25: So now I'm gonna go to Memphis and show where

1027
00:40:43,200 --> 00:40:46,360
Speaker 25: I belong in any school because I remember I was

1028
00:40:46,440 --> 00:40:49,799
Speaker 25: in Nashville, Tennessee, and Tennessee told me literally over the phone,

1029
00:40:49,800 --> 00:40:51,800
Speaker 25: said hey, you too smart to playing SEC. That was

1030
00:40:51,840 --> 00:40:54,640
Speaker 25: a chip just laying on my shoulder and I wanted

1031
00:40:54,680 --> 00:40:56,560
Speaker 25: to play them first round of the playoffs so bad.

1032
00:40:57,000 --> 00:40:58,040
Speaker 5: I didn't want to play.

1033
00:40:57,880 --> 00:41:01,480
Speaker 25: Him, but it's one of those things. When I entered

1034
00:41:01,480 --> 00:41:04,120
Speaker 25: the portal and when Coach Adams called me because I

1035
00:41:04,160 --> 00:41:06,120
Speaker 25: never got a Cali area code call my phone ever

1036
00:41:06,640 --> 00:41:09,240
Speaker 25: and both coming home from Birmingham with his wife Izzy,

1037
00:41:10,080 --> 00:41:12,359
Speaker 25: and I answered the phone.

1038
00:41:12,400 --> 00:41:13,759
Speaker 5: He was like, hey, this Coach Adams from Organ.

1039
00:41:15,239 --> 00:41:17,879
Speaker 25: I'm looking like like my mom's sitting in this area

1040
00:41:17,960 --> 00:41:18,640
Speaker 25: right here, and I'm.

1041
00:41:18,520 --> 00:41:20,920
Speaker 5: Like, oh, this is Orgon Coach called me like.

1042
00:41:20,920 --> 00:41:24,080
Speaker 25: Right now, and before I know, I put it back

1043
00:41:24,080 --> 00:41:25,440
Speaker 25: to Money and said, hey, coach, I'm committed.

1044
00:41:28,239 --> 00:41:29,640
Speaker 8: Like, hey, what's up, I'm committing.

1045
00:41:30,120 --> 00:41:32,239
Speaker 25: I'm like, you don't have to say anything else. And

1046
00:41:32,880 --> 00:41:34,759
Speaker 25: that's when the video come out when Bo saying he's

1047
00:41:34,760 --> 00:41:40,319
Speaker 25: coming back. I was like, okay, yeah something sleep. But

1048
00:41:41,200 --> 00:41:42,840
Speaker 25: definitely I was like, oh yeah, we finished off the

1049
00:41:42,840 --> 00:41:45,719
Speaker 25: world because nobody really know that we were brothers, Like

1050
00:41:46,320 --> 00:41:49,560
Speaker 25: we're legitimately brothers, and nobody knew that, and we got

1051
00:41:49,560 --> 00:41:52,080
Speaker 25: to organ. A lot of people was like, that's your

1052
00:41:52,120 --> 00:41:54,160
Speaker 25: brother for real. I'm like, yeah, that's my brother, because

1053
00:41:54,160 --> 00:41:57,919
Speaker 25: I think it was one practice. Nobody's FINNSA say nothing

1054
00:41:57,920 --> 00:42:00,560
Speaker 25: to both far as like talking back to him, why

1055
00:42:00,600 --> 00:42:04,440
Speaker 25: you for this? But brothers, we argue, you know you

1056
00:42:04,440 --> 00:42:06,680
Speaker 25: can do this right here. I be there, just just

1057
00:42:06,760 --> 00:42:08,520
Speaker 25: throw it like you know what I'm saying. And everybody

1058
00:42:08,600 --> 00:42:11,319
Speaker 25: was looking at me like you can say that to him.

1059
00:42:11,960 --> 00:42:14,600
Speaker 8: It's like this new guy's talking crazy.

1060
00:42:14,800 --> 00:42:16,560
Speaker 5: I'm like, this is my brother. It's not like he's

1061
00:42:16,600 --> 00:42:17,879
Speaker 5: not God, but this is my brother.

1062
00:42:18,080 --> 00:42:20,719
Speaker 25: Like it's one of those things that I know how

1063
00:42:20,719 --> 00:42:22,000
Speaker 25: to get the best of the boat and he definitely

1064
00:42:22,000 --> 00:42:23,960
Speaker 25: know how to get the best of me because we're

1065
00:42:23,960 --> 00:42:26,680
Speaker 25: both competitive, so It's one of those things like when

1066
00:42:26,680 --> 00:42:29,680
Speaker 25: it happened, I was like, there's no way I'm up

1067
00:42:29,680 --> 00:42:31,480
Speaker 25: here playing with my brother like now Organ, because it

1068
00:42:31,560 --> 00:42:33,640
Speaker 25: was definitely a gym come true for me. And they

1069
00:42:33,640 --> 00:42:35,720
Speaker 25: started coming out like this kid is really like a

1070
00:42:35,760 --> 00:42:38,000
Speaker 25: true Organ fan, and they started getting to proof and

1071
00:42:38,000 --> 00:42:40,839
Speaker 25: stuff like that, and I'm like, yeah, there's no lie

1072
00:42:40,880 --> 00:42:41,880
Speaker 25: in none of these stories.

1073
00:42:41,880 --> 00:42:43,960
Speaker 5: It's definitely I'm a douhole Organ fan.

1074
00:42:44,160 --> 00:42:47,000
Speaker 4: That's one of the coolest draft stories I've ever heard.

1075
00:42:47,400 --> 00:42:50,000
Speaker 2: And of course you now have the chance to go

1076
00:42:50,040 --> 00:42:52,120
Speaker 2: to the NFL and have success just like Bo did.

1077
00:42:52,160 --> 00:42:54,759
Speaker 2: I mean, what was it like watching him succeed in

1078
00:42:54,840 --> 00:42:57,399
Speaker 2: Denver and really take the world by storm. You talked

1079
00:42:57,400 --> 00:43:00,440
Speaker 2: about the doubters from your own element. He had some

1080
00:43:00,520 --> 00:43:02,279
Speaker 2: doubters too, and he signed a lot of them.

1081
00:43:02,440 --> 00:43:05,600
Speaker 25: Yeah, I knew it was coming. I knew it was coming.

1082
00:43:05,640 --> 00:43:08,040
Speaker 25: I was like, Okay, this is how he's gonna be

1083
00:43:08,120 --> 00:43:10,440
Speaker 25: in the first like game. I knew it was like

1084
00:43:10,600 --> 00:43:12,680
Speaker 25: I know bol like I knew like the back of

1085
00:43:12,680 --> 00:43:15,200
Speaker 25: my house was like, Okay, it might start off a

1086
00:43:15,239 --> 00:43:17,799
Speaker 25: little slow this season, and watch how they doubt him

1087
00:43:17,800 --> 00:43:20,040
Speaker 25: and he gonna come back and just be like they

1088
00:43:20,160 --> 00:43:22,600
Speaker 25: go like, oh, Wow, this kid is really good and

1089
00:43:22,680 --> 00:43:24,200
Speaker 25: show enough. It happened because I was at the first

1090
00:43:24,239 --> 00:43:26,840
Speaker 25: game in Seattle when he played them, and it was different.

1091
00:43:27,239 --> 00:43:29,040
Speaker 5: It looked it looked like when he was playing.

1092
00:43:28,760 --> 00:43:32,759
Speaker 25: At Arburn because of the colors to me, and it

1093
00:43:32,840 --> 00:43:34,480
Speaker 25: was just different because it was an NFL team. You

1094
00:43:34,480 --> 00:43:37,040
Speaker 25: didn't really know what you was finna get. You didn't

1095
00:43:37,080 --> 00:43:40,320
Speaker 25: really know what was going on. So when he got

1096
00:43:40,760 --> 00:43:43,799
Speaker 25: to playing and start knowing the offense, start getting like

1097
00:43:44,280 --> 00:43:46,719
Speaker 25: really really deep into it because I know bo, like

1098
00:43:46,719 --> 00:43:49,120
Speaker 25: he gonna be up there all night getting it done,

1099
00:43:49,160 --> 00:43:51,040
Speaker 25: and whoever was around him gonna get better because that's

1100
00:43:51,040 --> 00:43:54,680
Speaker 25: who is. He makes your team better and show enough

1101
00:43:54,760 --> 00:43:57,000
Speaker 25: towards the end of the season like he's he's one

1102
00:43:57,040 --> 00:43:59,279
Speaker 25: of those guys like Rookie of the Year type of thing.

1103
00:43:59,680 --> 00:44:02,320
Speaker 5: So yeah, for sure, I definitely knew it was coming.

1104
00:44:02,400 --> 00:44:04,400
Speaker 25: I never had one doubt in my mind about it

1105
00:44:04,440 --> 00:44:07,200
Speaker 25: because I always used to joke about him like we

1106
00:44:08,160 --> 00:44:09,960
Speaker 25: like when we played Kansas City. He didn't text me though,

1107
00:44:09,960 --> 00:44:13,080
Speaker 25: because you know, I can't see the fans. He didn't

1108
00:44:13,080 --> 00:44:16,279
Speaker 25: text me at all. He was like I think I

1109
00:44:16,320 --> 00:44:19,000
Speaker 25: wanted to text him, like hey, like go out there

1110
00:44:19,040 --> 00:44:19,399
Speaker 25: and ball.

1111
00:44:19,640 --> 00:44:23,279
Speaker 5: He didn't text you back. He knew it. He like,

1112
00:44:23,440 --> 00:44:24,439
Speaker 5: you can't see the fan.

1113
00:44:24,400 --> 00:44:27,239
Speaker 25: Don't even And yeah, so because when I was at

1114
00:44:27,239 --> 00:44:29,560
Speaker 25: the Seahawks game, my girlfriend actually worked for the Seahawks

1115
00:44:29,600 --> 00:44:33,239
Speaker 25: and she had an internship that just ended. She does

1116
00:44:33,400 --> 00:44:40,000
Speaker 25: sports entertainment there. And obviously I didn't get a ticket

1117
00:44:40,000 --> 00:44:40,319
Speaker 25: from both.

1118
00:44:40,320 --> 00:44:42,840
Speaker 5: I got to take from her. So it's one of those.

1119
00:44:42,680 --> 00:44:44,840
Speaker 25: Things like you gotta be there if you're gonna be

1120
00:44:44,880 --> 00:44:46,839
Speaker 25: at the game for me, And obviously I was cheering

1121
00:44:46,880 --> 00:44:50,479
Speaker 25: for both, but I was on the Seahawks just sitting

1122
00:44:50,480 --> 00:44:52,799
Speaker 25: there cheering for both, like and it was. I was

1123
00:44:52,800 --> 00:44:55,400
Speaker 25: so taken because the Seahawks fans knew, like that was

1124
00:44:55,440 --> 00:44:56,080
Speaker 25: my brother.

1125
00:44:57,440 --> 00:45:00,000

00:46:26,880 --> 00:46:29,840
Speaker 2: be a part of the lineage such a rich history

1164
00:46:29,880 --> 00:46:32,879
Speaker 2: at the wide receiver position in the franchise of course

1165
00:46:32,920 --> 00:46:34,919
Speaker 2: most recently Ceede Lamb and what he's done.

1166
00:46:35,040 --> 00:46:37,000
Speaker 4: What would it mean for you to be drafted by Dallas?

1167
00:46:37,239 --> 00:46:39,200
Speaker 25: Ceedee Lamb is one of those guys that you watched

1168
00:46:39,239 --> 00:46:41,279
Speaker 25: because he's he's special with the ball in his hands too,

1169
00:46:42,520 --> 00:46:45,319
Speaker 25: and you got what's the return name?

1170
00:46:46,920 --> 00:46:47,280
Speaker 5: Turping?

1171
00:46:47,520 --> 00:46:49,479
Speaker 25: Okay, Turpin was one of those guys that I watched

1172
00:46:49,480 --> 00:46:51,640
Speaker 25: it because you can take a kick return pack and

1173
00:46:51,680 --> 00:46:54,279
Speaker 25: I'm like, hey, that guy's really good. And then you

1174
00:46:54,320 --> 00:46:57,080
Speaker 25: got back there. That's the that's been there for a

1175
00:46:57,120 --> 00:47:00,160
Speaker 25: while and really do good a lot because I think

1176
00:47:00,160 --> 00:47:01,840
Speaker 25: a lot of people hate on him and he's a

1177
00:47:01,880 --> 00:47:04,279
Speaker 25: really good quarterback to me because he does what he

1178
00:47:04,320 --> 00:47:07,680
Speaker 25: does and sometimes like a lot of quarterbacks don't have success.

1179
00:47:07,680 --> 00:47:09,839
Speaker 5: It's it's an up and down game, like you.

1180
00:47:09,800 --> 00:47:13,799
Speaker 25: Know, but the Cowboys are really really great franchise and

1181
00:47:14,320 --> 00:47:16,320
Speaker 25: just down to earth, and I know they hate the

1182
00:47:16,360 --> 00:47:18,880
Speaker 25: forty nine ers like it's one of those things like

1183
00:47:18,920 --> 00:47:20,440
Speaker 25: if I play for the Cowboys. I'm gonna hate the

1184
00:47:20,480 --> 00:47:26,600
Speaker 25: forty nine we love, but yeah, I love a Cowboys. See,

1185
00:47:26,680 --> 00:47:28,839
Speaker 25: Lamba is one of those things that guys I watch

1186
00:47:28,880 --> 00:47:31,400
Speaker 25: and if I play along side of him, I know

1187
00:47:31,440 --> 00:47:35,200
Speaker 25: there's gonna be a duo that's untouching that match for sure.

1209
00:48:17,440 --> 00:48:19,720
Speaker 22: and Super Bowl champion. When I played in the NFL

1210
00:48:19,800 --> 00:48:21,920
Speaker 22: at a high level, I relied on my vision to

1211
00:48:21,920 --> 00:48:24,720
Speaker 22: see the field. As I started getting older, I noticed

1212
00:48:24,719 --> 00:48:27,360
Speaker 22: my vision wasn't as good and I was getting frustrated

1213
00:48:27,360 --> 00:48:29,960
Speaker 22: from wearing my glasses all day. I went to Lasercare

1214
00:48:30,000 --> 00:48:32,840
Speaker 22: Eye Center and doctor G talked about all the options.

1215
00:48:33,280 --> 00:48:36,200
Speaker 22: Thanks to technology and Lasercare Eye Center, I can see

1216
00:48:36,239 --> 00:48:39,880
Speaker 22: near far in between. Don't fumble your vision any longer.

1261

1262
00:50:39,480 --> 00:50:43,719
Speaker 2: story in the Boonicks connection the background there. But all

1263
00:50:43,760 --> 00:50:46,239
Speaker 2: four of those guys were tremendous, And I hope fans

1264
00:50:46,280 --> 00:50:49,920
Speaker 2: at home really appreciate the stories behind the players that

1265
00:50:49,960 --> 00:50:53,480
Speaker 2: we are scouting, because yes, we understand it's investigator and educates.

1266
00:50:53,440 --> 00:50:55,400
Speaker 2: There's a lot of film that goes into this show.

1267
00:50:55,800 --> 00:50:58,080
Speaker 2: We can tell you more than anybody. But at the

1268
00:50:58,080 --> 00:51:00,440
Speaker 2: same time, these are also guys that are trying to

1269
00:51:00,480 --> 00:51:03,560
Speaker 2: get to know these uh players as a as a

1270
00:51:03,600 --> 00:51:07,040
Speaker 2: person and as somebody behind and off the football field

1271
00:51:07,040 --> 00:51:07,359
Speaker 2: as well.

1272
00:51:07,360 --> 00:51:08,759
Speaker 4: And I thought we got the chance to do that

1273
00:51:08,760 --> 00:51:09,279
Speaker 4: throughout the week.

1274
00:51:09,360 --> 00:51:11,400
Speaker 9: Yeah, I was contemplating telling him that I was like

1275
00:51:11,600 --> 00:51:13,160
Speaker 9: one of the o g BO Nicks haters.

1276
00:51:13,200 --> 00:51:15,560
Speaker 4: But did you hear me sneak that question? And yeah,

1277
00:51:15,560 --> 00:51:15,839
Speaker 4: I did.

1278
00:51:16,000 --> 00:51:17,520
Speaker 8: I totally for you.

1279
00:51:17,680 --> 00:51:19,200
Speaker 2: I was going to get to it, but he he

1280
00:51:19,239 --> 00:51:22,560
Speaker 2: was kind I was waiting for you to like lean forward.

1281
00:51:22,760 --> 00:51:24,080
Speaker 5: I looked at him.

1282
00:51:24,719 --> 00:51:26,359
Speaker 9: He was he was talking a lot, which was great,

1283
00:51:26,400 --> 00:51:28,480
Speaker 9: and it's obviously phenomenal for the show and he got

1284
00:51:28,480 --> 00:51:30,360
Speaker 9: to tell the story. But if if I had a

1285
00:51:30,400 --> 00:51:32,160
Speaker 9: moment in there, I want to take it some accounability.

1286
00:51:32,160 --> 00:51:33,759
Speaker 9: I would have been like, look, man, I will tell

1287
00:51:33,760 --> 00:51:35,680
Speaker 9: you that I was one of B's original haters, but

1288
00:51:35,719 --> 00:51:37,520
Speaker 9: I have since come to the to the light and

1289
00:51:37,680 --> 00:51:39,040
Speaker 9: uh yeah, of rooting for both.

1290
00:51:39,400 --> 00:51:40,960
Speaker 4: No, it was a great interview.

1291
00:51:41,000 --> 00:51:44,239
Speaker 2: And I mean even Jack, you had, uh, you had

1292
00:51:44,840 --> 00:51:47,600
Speaker 2: Jake from from Clemson, you had Jack from Notre Dame,

1293
00:51:47,640 --> 00:51:50,480
Speaker 2: and then oh two baby, he was awesome too. That

1294
00:51:50,600 --> 00:51:53,480
Speaker 2: energy was incredible along the way. But uh, one thing

1295
00:51:53,480 --> 00:51:55,640
Speaker 2: we do have to hit before of course previewing the

1296
00:51:55,640 --> 00:51:59,640
Speaker 2: final uh moments of the Senior Bowl going into Saturday.

1297
00:51:59,680 --> 00:52:01,720
Speaker 4: But the Cowboys have extended.

1298
00:52:01,280 --> 00:52:03,799
Speaker 2: Will McClay since we last recorded a show from out

1299
00:52:03,800 --> 00:52:06,080
Speaker 2: here and we got the chance to talk to Will yesterday,

1300
00:52:06,120 --> 00:52:06,400
Speaker 2: talked to.

1301
00:52:06,400 --> 00:52:07,279
Speaker 4: Steven as well.

1302
00:52:07,320 --> 00:52:09,920
Speaker 2: This is big news for draft fans out there, keeping

1303
00:52:10,000 --> 00:52:13,120
Speaker 2: that same continuity. We've heard that that word a lot

1304
00:52:13,160 --> 00:52:16,560
Speaker 2: this offseason, but this is a good level of continuity

1305
00:52:16,560 --> 00:52:18,879
Speaker 2: to have Will mcqui Will McLay around for the next

1306
00:52:18,880 --> 00:52:19,319
Speaker 2: five years.

1307
00:52:19,480 --> 00:52:19,680
Speaker 5: Yeah.

1308
00:52:19,680 --> 00:52:22,799
Speaker 7: Stephen Jones told us yesterday that the Cowboys with the

1309
00:52:22,880 --> 00:52:25,799
Speaker 7: hire of their new head coach and Brian Schottenheimer, and

1310
00:52:25,840 --> 00:52:28,440
Speaker 7: with retaining Will McLay and bringing Maddie Reflues back, that

1311
00:52:28,440 --> 00:52:30,719
Speaker 7: they're looking for a mix of continuity and a mix

1312
00:52:30,760 --> 00:52:32,960
Speaker 7: of change, right, And Will McLay is a step in

1313
00:52:33,000 --> 00:52:36,000
Speaker 7: the continuity direction, and it's a step that they needed

1314
00:52:36,000 --> 00:52:37,799
Speaker 7: to take because of the amount of success that he's

1315
00:52:37,880 --> 00:52:40,239
Speaker 7: had in his tenure with the Cowboys. I know, you

1316
00:52:40,239 --> 00:52:42,759
Speaker 7: can look at the last two drafts and you know,

1317
00:52:42,840 --> 00:52:45,640
Speaker 7: maybe say, hey, I don't think those those worked as

1318
00:52:45,640 --> 00:52:48,160
Speaker 7: well as maybe Cowboys fans thought they would. But at

1319
00:52:48,160 --> 00:52:49,560
Speaker 7: the same time, you also have to look at his

1320
00:52:49,719 --> 00:52:51,680
Speaker 7: entire track record, his entire history.

1321
00:52:51,840 --> 00:52:53,880
Speaker 6: These guys can't get everybody right. Nobody can.

1322
00:52:54,080 --> 00:52:58,279
Speaker 7: That's just unreasonable to ask off process. But they have

1323
00:52:58,480 --> 00:53:00,719
Speaker 7: hit on a very high clip and I think you

1324
00:53:00,719 --> 00:53:02,000
Speaker 7: have to give him credit for that, and I think

1325
00:53:02,000 --> 00:53:03,359
Speaker 7: Will McClay is one of the best in the game

1326
00:53:03,360 --> 00:53:05,439
Speaker 7: in doing that, and I think the Cowboys recognized that too.

1327
00:53:05,480 --> 00:53:08,160
Speaker 7: So Nick did a good job yesterday, Agaven the five

1328
00:53:08,239 --> 00:53:11,359
Speaker 7: year deal scooped in terms of it's a five year

1329
00:53:11,400 --> 00:53:14,799
Speaker 7: extensions that's through the twenty thirty draft, correct, Yeah, So

1330
00:53:15,360 --> 00:53:17,680
Speaker 7: you've got him for through the twenty thirty draft, and

1331
00:53:17,719 --> 00:53:19,720
Speaker 7: I think that, you know, you've got some young pieces

1332
00:53:19,719 --> 00:53:21,440
Speaker 7: to build around, and he's brought those guys in.

1333
00:53:21,520 --> 00:53:22,920
Speaker 6: He's got a chance to do it again here.

1334
00:53:22,960 --> 00:53:24,719
Speaker 7: We talked with him earlier in the week and he

1335
00:53:24,719 --> 00:53:27,440
Speaker 7: said that this draft class is full of depth guys

1336
00:53:27,440 --> 00:53:29,480
Speaker 7: and guys that you can maybe insert into a two

1337
00:53:29,480 --> 00:53:31,600
Speaker 7: deep end. When you look at how the Cowboys fared

1338
00:53:31,680 --> 00:53:35,680
Speaker 7: this season with so many injuries, that comes claringly important.

1339
00:53:35,760 --> 00:53:38,040
Speaker 7: So I think this is a great move from Dallas

1340
00:53:38,080 --> 00:53:40,840
Speaker 7: and Will very clearly. I mean, he literally said I

1341
00:53:40,880 --> 00:53:42,880
Speaker 7: wanted to be here. I wanted to be here, and

1342
00:53:42,920 --> 00:53:43,319
Speaker 7: now he is.

1343
00:53:43,640 --> 00:53:43,879
Speaker 5: Yeah.

1344
00:53:43,920 --> 00:53:46,239
Speaker 9: The quote that stood out to me was it's the

1345
00:53:46,280 --> 00:53:48,560
Speaker 9: same quote there, Tommy. He said, I wanted to be

1346
00:53:48,600 --> 00:53:50,360
Speaker 9: here with the crew and what we've built. I have

1347
00:53:50,480 --> 00:53:52,279
Speaker 9: always say to that when I got here, my main

1348
00:53:52,320 --> 00:53:53,799
Speaker 9: goal was to be a part of something that gave

1349
00:53:53,840 --> 00:53:56,239
Speaker 9: us an opportunity to win another Super Bowl. I've got

1350
00:53:56,239 --> 00:53:58,000
Speaker 9: to continue to do that and I got to do

1351
00:53:58,080 --> 00:54:00,640
Speaker 9: my job better. Getting the opportunity to do that with

1352
00:54:00,719 --> 00:54:03,040
Speaker 9: these people is extremely important to me. And I think,

1353
00:54:03,320 --> 00:54:06,319
Speaker 9: you know, Will McLay obviously, I think he's one of

1354
00:54:06,320 --> 00:54:09,960
Speaker 9: the most underrated front office personnel in the entire NFL,

1355
00:54:10,080 --> 00:54:12,640
Speaker 9: only because he's been in this role for so long

1356
00:54:12,680 --> 00:54:14,279
Speaker 9: here with the Cowboys. But you know, this is the

1357
00:54:14,320 --> 00:54:16,319
Speaker 9: place he wants to be, and I think he made

1358
00:54:16,360 --> 00:54:19,200
Speaker 9: that pretty evident, not only by signing this five year extension,

1359
00:54:19,280 --> 00:54:20,880
Speaker 9: but in the interview that he gave us yesterday.

1360
00:54:20,920 --> 00:54:23,320
Speaker 8: You know, he could go be a GM somewhere, and.

1361
00:54:23,440 --> 00:54:26,400
Speaker 9: He has had teams interested him, interested in him in

1362
00:54:26,440 --> 00:54:30,120
Speaker 9: the past to potentially even interview for a GM spot,

1363
00:54:30,120 --> 00:54:32,560
Speaker 9: and he hasn't even taken any interviews. You know, Dallas

1364
00:54:32,560 --> 00:54:35,400
Speaker 9: is where he's been since I believe two thousand. This

1365
00:54:35,480 --> 00:54:37,719
Speaker 9: is a this is a spot that has been comfortable

1366
00:54:37,719 --> 00:54:41,279
Speaker 9: to him. He went to Rice at Texas is a

1367
00:54:41,640 --> 00:54:43,640
Speaker 9: big part of you know, what he does. From a

1368
00:54:43,680 --> 00:54:46,880
Speaker 9: scouting perspective as well, this is a It's a huge

1369
00:54:46,880 --> 00:54:48,960
Speaker 9: win for the front office. It's a huge win for

1370
00:54:49,000 --> 00:54:51,040
Speaker 9: the Cowboys to go ahead and lock him up for

1371
00:54:51,080 --> 00:54:54,560
Speaker 9: the long term. The college scouting has clearly taken a

1372
00:54:54,600 --> 00:54:58,040
Speaker 9: big step forward with him leading since twenty fourteen. I mean,

1373
00:54:58,040 --> 00:55:00,279
Speaker 9: you look at all the Pro Bowlers and all that

1374
00:55:00,320 --> 00:55:02,920
Speaker 9: he's had, whether it be Zach Martin or Tyler Smith

1375
00:55:03,000 --> 00:55:04,959
Speaker 9: or Micah Parsons, their cdee Lamb in the first round,

1376
00:55:05,160 --> 00:55:07,160
Speaker 9: or it could be Day three, Day two, guys like

1377
00:55:07,280 --> 00:55:10,160
Speaker 9: Dak Prescott, Deron Bland, Jake Ferguson. I mean, he is,

1378
00:55:10,520 --> 00:55:13,280
Speaker 9: him and his scouting department have done a phenomenal job. Granted,

1379
00:55:13,280 --> 00:55:15,120
Speaker 9: I think you're right, Tommy, these last two drafts have

1380
00:55:15,200 --> 00:55:19,440
Speaker 9: not been up to the standard, but it's something that

1381
00:55:19,680 --> 00:55:21,600
Speaker 9: with Will McClay and his department, you know the good

1382
00:55:21,600 --> 00:55:22,680
Speaker 9: ones are gonna come well.

1383
00:55:22,719 --> 00:55:24,480
Speaker 2: And that goes back to what Tommy was saying and

1384
00:55:24,480 --> 00:55:28,040
Speaker 2: what Steven Jones quote was yesterday. If the continuity and change,

1385
00:55:28,280 --> 00:55:30,440
Speaker 2: there are good things that this team has done, no

1386
00:55:30,480 --> 00:55:33,320
Speaker 2: doubt about it. I mean the fifteen Pro bowlers under McCarthy,

1387
00:55:33,520 --> 00:55:37,040
Speaker 2: excuse me, mcclay's tutelage, and then what Mike McCarthy did

1388
00:55:37,239 --> 00:55:39,279
Speaker 2: to win the twelve games over the three years in

1389
00:55:39,400 --> 00:55:42,680
Speaker 2: Dallas showed that they can't have success with some of

1390
00:55:42,719 --> 00:55:45,319
Speaker 2: the place holders that they have on this team and

1391
00:55:45,360 --> 00:55:46,000
Speaker 2: in this roster.

1392
00:55:47,080 --> 00:55:50,319
Speaker 4: However, there's other things that need to change. This was

1393
00:55:50,360 --> 00:55:52,480
Speaker 4: not an area like that. This was not an area

1394
00:55:52,520 --> 00:55:53,560
Speaker 4: that needed to change.

1395
00:55:53,680 --> 00:55:55,879
Speaker 2: Something that needs to change is running the football better,

1396
00:55:56,160 --> 00:55:58,800
Speaker 2: playing defensive line, or having that front seven better. And

1397
00:55:58,840 --> 00:56:01,040
Speaker 2: they've had some different hires through out the last couple

1398
00:56:01,080 --> 00:56:03,279
Speaker 2: of days that have gotten there too. But I think

1399
00:56:03,360 --> 00:56:06,520
Speaker 2: for this audience and the Draft show, nothing was more

1400
00:56:06,840 --> 00:56:10,080
Speaker 2: priority first than signing Will McClay long term. And now

1401
00:56:10,680 --> 00:56:13,440
Speaker 2: the guessing game is almost over. We've talked about this

1402
00:56:13,520 --> 00:56:16,359
Speaker 2: on the Draft Show throughout where what is the next plan?

1403
00:56:16,480 --> 00:56:18,239
Speaker 2: What is the next thing up? And where are you

1404
00:56:18,280 --> 00:56:19,879
Speaker 2: going to go? Because you didn't know who your head

1405
00:56:19,920 --> 00:56:22,200
Speaker 2: coach was, you didn't know what the future was around

1406
00:56:22,239 --> 00:56:24,600
Speaker 2: Will McClay. Now you know both of those answers, and

1407
00:56:24,640 --> 00:56:26,800
Speaker 2: we can start kind of honing in on what is important,

1408
00:56:26,920 --> 00:56:29,640
Speaker 2: especially in an event in a week like this, where

1409
00:56:29,719 --> 00:56:31,920
Speaker 2: it's the prospects, it's trying to get the best guys.

1410
00:56:32,360 --> 00:56:33,720
Speaker 4: And that's what I asked Will yesterday.

1411
00:56:33,719 --> 00:56:36,000
Speaker 2: I was like, we talked about alignment quite a bit

1412
00:56:36,040 --> 00:56:38,920
Speaker 2: from the front office down to the very small parts

1413
00:56:38,920 --> 00:56:41,440
Speaker 2: of this organization, and he said, I think we're in

1414
00:56:41,480 --> 00:56:43,600
Speaker 2: alignment now. And I asked him, what's the next domino?

1415
00:56:43,640 --> 00:56:45,640
Speaker 2: Then you had the coach, Now you're signed, what's the

1416
00:56:45,640 --> 00:56:46,200
Speaker 2: next domino?

1417
00:56:46,400 --> 00:56:47,239
Speaker 4: He said, let's get some.

1418
00:56:47,160 --> 00:56:49,480
Speaker 2: Good football players in here, yep, And let's have some

1419
00:56:49,680 --> 00:56:50,640
Speaker 2: let's go win some games.

1420
00:56:50,640 --> 00:56:51,840
Speaker 4: And I feel like that's now.

1421
00:56:51,640 --> 00:56:55,640
Speaker 2: The focus, which that's why, aside from locking him up

1422
00:56:55,680 --> 00:56:57,799
Speaker 2: long term, that's why this was a smart move to

1423
00:56:57,800 --> 00:57:00,439
Speaker 2: get it done early, get it done before before there's

1424
00:57:00,440 --> 00:57:03,640
Speaker 2: any guessing game going into the combine, going into interview

1425
00:57:03,680 --> 00:57:05,520
Speaker 2: times or whatever he was going to end.

1426
00:57:05,480 --> 00:57:08,000
Speaker 4: Up seeing in terms of his interest.

1427
00:57:08,600 --> 00:57:10,200
Speaker 2: Will mclay's going to be here for a while and

1428
00:57:10,239 --> 00:57:13,120
Speaker 2: now you can focus on getting the prospects to come

1429
00:57:13,120 --> 00:57:14,840
Speaker 2: and help Brian Schottenheimer have some success.

1430
00:57:14,920 --> 00:57:17,120
Speaker 7: No, absolutely, And I think it was interesting yesterday too

1431
00:57:17,160 --> 00:57:18,760
Speaker 7: when we talked to Steven Jones that he kind of

1432
00:57:18,760 --> 00:57:20,560
Speaker 7: gave us a little bit of insight in terms of

1433
00:57:20,640 --> 00:57:22,760
Speaker 7: a little bit what they may be looking for to

1434
00:57:22,840 --> 00:57:25,200
Speaker 7: start with the offensive coordinator position.

1435
00:57:25,760 --> 00:57:27,960
Speaker 6: It's a process that's ongoing. They're working on it as

1436
00:57:28,000 --> 00:57:28,440
Speaker 6: we speak.

1437
00:57:28,480 --> 00:57:30,480
Speaker 7: You can expect that to probably get wrapped up here

1438
00:57:30,680 --> 00:57:32,680
Speaker 7: soon since they want to build this staff quickly.

1439
00:57:33,320 --> 00:57:36,200
Speaker 6: But he was mentioning that he's they kind of looking

1440
00:57:36,200 --> 00:57:37,840
Speaker 6: for a guy who checks the run game box.

1441
00:57:37,920 --> 00:57:40,560
Speaker 7: So whether that be a former offensive line coach, filmer,

1442
00:57:40,680 --> 00:57:43,360
Speaker 7: running backs coach. I know we've got a coaching tracker

1443
00:57:43,400 --> 00:57:45,760
Speaker 7: that Patrick Walker is working on on Dallas Cowboys dot Com,

1444
00:57:45,760 --> 00:57:47,680
Speaker 7: so you can read that to be up with the latest.

1445
00:57:47,920 --> 00:57:51,160
Speaker 7: But I think that's really important, and that's crucial because

1446
00:57:51,160 --> 00:57:52,720
Speaker 7: you look at some of the offensive linemen here and

1447
00:57:52,760 --> 00:57:54,880
Speaker 7: the running backs here that we've talked to, and it

1448
00:57:54,960 --> 00:57:57,320
Speaker 7: certainly can make sense why somebody like that would fit

1449
00:57:57,400 --> 00:58:00,240
Speaker 7: into Dallas's scheme. And he said, we want to be

1450
00:58:00,360 --> 00:58:02,919
Speaker 7: able to run the ball. We want to be able

1451
00:58:02,920 --> 00:58:04,600
Speaker 7: to run the ball. Dallas did not run the ball

1452
00:58:04,640 --> 00:58:06,720
Speaker 7: well at points last season, so it makes sense that

1453
00:58:06,760 --> 00:58:08,080
Speaker 7: they want to do that in the run game going

1454
00:58:08,120 --> 00:58:10,280
Speaker 7: to set up the pass. Brian Schottenheimer said that he

1455
00:58:10,320 --> 00:58:12,160
Speaker 7: wants play action to be part of his scheme as

1456
00:58:12,200 --> 00:58:14,400
Speaker 7: a head coach and as a play caller. So all

1457
00:58:14,440 --> 00:58:16,800
Speaker 7: of that starts with running the football, and right now

1458
00:58:16,920 --> 00:58:19,520
Speaker 7: Dallas needs help upfront and in the running game at

1459
00:58:19,520 --> 00:58:20,400
Speaker 7: the running back position.

1460
00:58:20,440 --> 00:58:22,360
Speaker 6: I feel like to be able to do that effectively.

1461
00:58:22,480 --> 00:58:25,080
Speaker 2: So does that mean asking gent at twelve is confirmed

1462
00:58:25,680 --> 00:58:27,040
Speaker 2: we're talking about here or if.

1463
00:58:26,960 --> 00:58:28,560
Speaker 8: He gets there.

1464
00:58:28,640 --> 00:58:30,760
Speaker 9: If he gets there, that's going to be a really

1465
00:58:30,880 --> 00:58:34,480
Speaker 9: tough prospect for not only this new head coach, but this.

1466
00:58:34,480 --> 00:58:35,440
Speaker 8: Front off is to pass on.

1467
00:58:35,720 --> 00:58:36,280
Speaker 5: I got it.

1468
00:58:36,720 --> 00:58:39,520
Speaker 9: We've talked about this running back class, and obviously you

1469
00:58:39,560 --> 00:58:42,160
Speaker 9: can get a Really I was talking with someone here

1470
00:58:42,240 --> 00:58:43,640
Speaker 9: in Mobile a couple of nights ago, and we were

1471
00:58:43,640 --> 00:58:46,120
Speaker 9: having the running back conversation. Right it's like, Okay, well,

1472
00:58:46,160 --> 00:58:49,880
Speaker 9: Gent's value potentially decrease in the first round because of

1473
00:58:50,040 --> 00:58:52,880
Speaker 9: the running back class, and team's feeling like, hey, yeah,

1474
00:58:52,920 --> 00:58:55,360
Speaker 9: Gent's phenomenal, clear RB one when we can go get

1475
00:58:55,360 --> 00:58:56,680
Speaker 9: a guy on day two or day three and be

1476
00:58:56,760 --> 00:58:58,840
Speaker 9: very comfortable with that. And that guy told me he

1477
00:58:58,920 --> 00:59:01,120
Speaker 9: was like, yeah, but how many dudes are in the class.

1478
00:59:01,280 --> 00:59:03,960
Speaker 8: He's like, there's probably only two. And I don't know

1479
00:59:04,000 --> 00:59:05,320
Speaker 8: who he thought the second one was.

1480
00:59:05,400 --> 00:59:07,000
Speaker 9: And he's like, if you feel like you can get

1481
00:59:07,000 --> 00:59:08,720
Speaker 9: one of those dudes, go get one of the dudes,

1482
00:59:08,840 --> 00:59:11,480
Speaker 9: especially if you know first time head coach, you know,

1483
00:59:11,520 --> 00:59:15,560
Speaker 9: bringing in, you know, an offensive playmaker, offensive difference maker.

1484
00:59:15,600 --> 00:59:17,840
Speaker 9: That would certainly be gen Z. I think it's a

1485
00:59:17,880 --> 00:59:19,280
Speaker 9: I think it's a fascinating conversation.

1486
00:59:19,680 --> 00:59:22,360
Speaker 2: It really is, and it's going to continue on further

1487
00:59:22,680 --> 00:59:27,360
Speaker 2: as we go along. And the thing about Ashton Gent too,

1488
00:59:27,560 --> 00:59:31,840
Speaker 2: is when you spend that twelfth if the Cowboys had

1489
00:59:32,080 --> 00:59:35,560
Speaker 2: already solidified everything else around them. I think it would

1490
00:59:35,600 --> 00:59:38,080
Speaker 2: be a no brainer done, but there's so many other

1491
00:59:38,120 --> 00:59:40,160
Speaker 2: positions that are going to be there. I still think

1492
00:59:40,200 --> 00:59:42,120
Speaker 2: best player available is very much in play, and we

1493
00:59:42,120 --> 00:59:45,040
Speaker 2: haven't even gotten to at least some resemblance of free

1494
00:59:45,040 --> 00:59:47,680
Speaker 2: agency that we're going to see if there is any

1495
00:59:47,720 --> 00:59:50,360
Speaker 2: action in free agency or not, we'll still that's still

1496
00:59:50,520 --> 00:59:53,640
Speaker 2: yet to be seen. However, right now I think best

1497
00:59:53,640 --> 00:59:56,480
Speaker 2: player available, which very well could be Ashton Gent at

1498
00:59:56,480 --> 00:59:58,800
Speaker 2: that point in time, whenever he falls to the board.

1499
00:59:58,920 --> 01:00:02,520
Speaker 2: All Right, the Senior Bowl is on Saturday. We've got

1500
01:00:02,520 --> 01:00:05,360
Speaker 2: the Shrine Bowl coming up tonight at and T Stadium.

1501
01:00:05,360 --> 01:00:07,920
Speaker 2: Anything that you guys are looking for going into a

1502
01:00:07,920 --> 01:00:10,320
Speaker 2: busy week now that we've had the practices in the books,

1503
01:00:10,680 --> 01:00:13,040
Speaker 2: moving into what is going to be a couple of

1504
01:00:13,040 --> 01:00:15,000
Speaker 2: big games along the way, Well.

1505
01:00:14,720 --> 01:00:16,760
Speaker 7: No, I think it's always important to see these guys

1506
01:00:16,800 --> 01:00:19,800
Speaker 7: in game environments now, right, Like practices and all that

1507
01:00:19,960 --> 01:00:21,960
Speaker 7: is one thing, but now you get to see him

1508
01:00:22,120 --> 01:00:23,600
Speaker 7: play in the game, and that's where you get to

1509
01:00:23,600 --> 01:00:26,439
Speaker 7: see the competitive nature and all those kinds of things

1510
01:00:26,480 --> 01:00:28,400
Speaker 7: like that. So we were at the Shrine Bowl for

1511
01:00:28,440 --> 01:00:31,800
Speaker 7: a couple of days, and there are some standouts there, Kyle,

1512
01:00:32,160 --> 01:00:33,680
Speaker 7: A lot of the tension goes to the Senior Bowl.

1513
01:00:33,680 --> 01:00:35,000
Speaker 6: But I thought there was some good players.

1514
01:00:35,040 --> 01:00:37,240
Speaker 7: I thought Isaiah na Or, the wide receiver from Nebraska,

1515
01:00:37,440 --> 01:00:40,479
Speaker 7: had a really good second practice. Isa Pole, guy who's

1516
01:00:40,520 --> 01:00:42,240
Speaker 7: not really talked about too much, but a tackle out

1517
01:00:42,240 --> 01:00:44,360
Speaker 7: of Washington State. I thought he played really well. In

1518
01:00:44,440 --> 01:00:47,400
Speaker 7: a local Dallas area guy R J. Mickens from Clemson.

1519
01:00:47,640 --> 01:00:49,800
Speaker 7: He was fun to talk to and fun to see around.

1520
01:00:49,800 --> 01:00:52,600
Speaker 7: And then Todd Brooks running back from Texas Tech. One

1521
01:00:52,640 --> 01:00:54,920
Speaker 7: of the most productive guys in this class considering what

1522
01:00:54,960 --> 01:00:58,240
Speaker 7: he did all four years in Lubbocky basically shattered every

1523
01:00:58,280 --> 01:01:00,440
Speaker 7: rushing record they had out there. So a lot a

1524
01:01:00,480 --> 01:01:02,200
Speaker 7: lot of guys to watch tonight, and you know, is

1525
01:01:02,200 --> 01:01:03,760
Speaker 7: fun watching him in practice and now we get to

1526
01:01:03,760 --> 01:01:04,560
Speaker 7: see him in game action.

1527
01:01:04,640 --> 01:01:04,760
Speaker 5: Two.

1528
01:01:04,960 --> 01:01:06,200
Speaker 8: Yeah, excited for the Shrine Bowl.

1529
01:01:06,240 --> 01:01:07,760
Speaker 9: I'm gonna head out of here and get on a

1530
01:01:07,800 --> 01:01:09,560
Speaker 9: flight so I can get back in time to catch

1531
01:01:09,600 --> 01:01:13,680
Speaker 9: that at ATMT Stadium tonight. But yeah, I think with these

1532
01:01:13,680 --> 01:01:16,120
Speaker 9: game environments, like you said, Tommy, obviously the game environments

1533
01:01:16,120 --> 01:01:18,080
Speaker 9: are where you can draw a lot of stock from,

1534
01:01:18,080 --> 01:01:19,720
Speaker 9: but just building consistency.

1535
01:01:19,760 --> 01:01:20,760
Speaker 8: You know, a lot of these guys.

1536
01:01:20,760 --> 01:01:23,280
Speaker 9: You know, it's it's tough on the first one or

1537
01:01:23,320 --> 01:01:26,000
Speaker 9: two days of practice because you're playing with all new teammates,

1538
01:01:26,240 --> 01:01:28,280
Speaker 9: especially like in the receiving game, like the rhythm with

1539
01:01:28,360 --> 01:01:30,200
Speaker 9: quarterbacks is always going to take a little bit of

1540
01:01:30,200 --> 01:01:32,200
Speaker 9: time to figure out. But now that we're getting to

1541
01:01:32,280 --> 01:01:36,120
Speaker 9: Thursday and then to the game on Saturday, you start

1542
01:01:36,160 --> 01:01:38,080
Speaker 9: to see what consistency looks like and guys that can

1543
01:01:38,120 --> 01:01:40,120
Speaker 9: adapt really quick, and that's what you need the NFL.

1544
01:01:40,320 --> 01:01:42,000
Speaker 9: You need to adapt as soon as you hit the field,

1545
01:01:42,040 --> 01:01:44,000
Speaker 9: whether that be in rookie minni caamp or training camp.

1546
01:01:44,680 --> 01:01:46,320
Speaker 9: I mean, you can look at the Cowboys case last

1547
01:01:46,360 --> 01:01:49,000
Speaker 9: year and all the rookies that eventually had to play.

1548
01:01:49,200 --> 01:01:51,800
Speaker 9: You talk about Amer's LEFL. He adapted super fast in

1549
01:01:51,840 --> 01:01:54,320
Speaker 9: a role that I don't think we would have anticipated

1550
01:01:54,360 --> 01:01:55,760
Speaker 9: this time last year. I think we were probably talking

1551
01:01:55,760 --> 01:01:57,360
Speaker 9: about Maris as a phis or six round pick at

1552
01:01:57,400 --> 01:02:00,160
Speaker 9: this point last year. So you know, it's it's it's

1553
01:02:00,200 --> 01:02:01,960
Speaker 9: definitely a lot that you can take from these kinds

1554
01:02:01,960 --> 01:02:04,440
Speaker 9: of environments, and surely the thirty two scouting departments are

1555
01:02:04,480 --> 01:02:05,040
Speaker 9: looking at it.

1556
01:02:05,000 --> 01:02:05,720
Speaker 4: No doubt about it.

1557
01:02:05,760 --> 01:02:07,760
Speaker 2: And we've had a lot of fun here on Radio

1558
01:02:07,880 --> 01:02:10,240
Speaker 2: Row Here at the Reese's Senior Bowl. Keep up to

1559
01:02:10,320 --> 01:02:12,400
Speaker 2: date with everything on Dallas Cowboys dot Com. We'll be

1560
01:02:12,440 --> 01:02:14,280

Speaker 2: on the Draft Show with our full cast ready to

01:02:23,280 --> 01:02:25,360
Speaker 2: to Chris Beam for Scott Purcell for setting all this

1565
01:02:25,480 --> 01:02:29,800
Speaker 2: up being back in studio, Jasmine Marshall, Paul Bestidas, back there,

1566
01:02:29,840 --> 01:02:32,120
Speaker 2: everybody that's a part of this, because there's been a

1567
01:02:32,160 --> 01:02:34,840
Speaker 2: whole cast of crew that's helped put all this together

1568
01:02:34,880 --> 01:02:37,280
Speaker 2: and what has been a new thing we've tried here

1569
01:02:37,280 --> 01:02:38,800
Speaker 2: this year, and I think it's gone very well.

1570
01:02:40,120 --> 01:02:40,960
Speaker 5: They orderly.

1571
01:02:41,000 --> 01:02:41,720
Speaker 4: I think I did too.

1572
01:02:41,800 --> 01:02:43,560
Speaker 2: We'll probably do some of this more so in the

1573
01:02:43,600 --> 01:02:45,600
Speaker 2: future as well, but we had a ton of people

1574
01:02:45,600 --> 01:02:47,880
Speaker 2: that had their hands on this one all the way

1575
01:02:47,880 --> 01:02:50,640
Speaker 2: through it. Tommy Yurish, Nick Harris Here at the Senior Bowl.
