Again, the world all revolves around HTT. 25 00:01:09,000 --> 00:01:13,560 Speaker 1: We'll get to the results of the season ending rookie draft. 26 00:01:13,920 --> 00:01:16,319 Speaker 1: But I mean, JIMII Christmas. By the way, I do 27 00:01:16,360 --> 00:01:18,400 Speaker 1: have I have a beautiful baby blanket for you that 28 00:01:19,520 --> 00:01:20,240 Speaker 1: it's coming. 29 00:01:19,959 --> 00:01:22,280 Speaker 2: Your que Yeah, that's very kind. 30 00:01:22,840 --> 00:01:24,640 Speaker 1: Have you been able to duck this stuff that's going 31 00:01:24,680 --> 00:01:27,720 Speaker 1: around sickness wise? By the way, our. 32 00:01:27,319 --> 00:01:30,120 Speaker 2: Whole house has been sick one at a time for 33 00:01:30,200 --> 00:01:32,560 Speaker 2: like the last month. Like somebody gets it and then 34 00:01:32,600 --> 00:01:34,360 Speaker 2: just as soon as they're over it, the next person 35 00:01:34,400 --> 00:01:36,240 Speaker 2: gets it. It happens without family. 36 00:01:36,640 --> 00:01:39,120 Speaker 1: Yeah, that's I remember those days. This is just in 37 00:01:39,160 --> 00:01:40,440 Speaker 1: time for me to go to New England as a 38 00:01:40,480 --> 00:01:42,839 Speaker 1: San Diego kid who's gonna freeze his tail off this weekend. 39 00:01:42,880 --> 00:01:46,760 Speaker 1: I'm sure that'll be right out. Yeah, should be fine. 40 00:01:47,160 --> 00:01:49,120 Speaker 1: We're gonna we're gonna have time to preview all these 41 00:01:49,120 --> 00:01:50,920 Speaker 1: college games in a minute, but I do want to 42 00:01:51,200 --> 00:01:54,640 Speaker 1: get to one thing with you, to actually two things, 43 00:01:54,640 --> 00:01:56,520 Speaker 1: because we can talk more prospects and then we'll talk 44 00:01:56,520 --> 00:02:00,520 Speaker 1: about the game a little bit. But two takeaways. One 45 00:02:00,520 --> 00:02:02,200 Speaker 1: as I've had a chance. Then, you know, as I'm 46 00:02:02,200 --> 00:02:04,480 Speaker 1: working through all these guys, went back and watched some more, 47 00:02:04,920 --> 00:02:07,080 Speaker 1: you know, the bigger games, these last couple of games 48 00:02:07,120 --> 00:02:10,040 Speaker 1: with Fernando, and I mean, I never I was in 49 00:02:10,120 --> 00:02:12,040 Speaker 1: on him as the top guy, and I've never been 50 00:02:12,040 --> 00:02:14,760 Speaker 1: more convinced than I am now that he's clearly clearly 51 00:02:14,800 --> 00:02:16,960 Speaker 1: the top guy. That was the first point. The second 52 00:02:17,000 --> 00:02:19,400 Speaker 1: point is I've been going through doing all these defensive 53 00:02:19,440 --> 00:02:23,519 Speaker 1: linemen and going across the board and telling you, Rhett, 54 00:02:24,080 --> 00:02:26,399 Speaker 1: I know Indiana is playing great, and I know they're 55 00:02:26,440 --> 00:02:30,359 Speaker 1: extremely well coached, and everybody's just kind of penciling them 56 00:02:30,360 --> 00:02:32,680 Speaker 1: and getting through this next round because they already beat Oregon. 57 00:02:33,280 --> 00:02:38,160 Speaker 1: That defensive line is really really good, really good. Amari 58 00:02:38,360 --> 00:02:41,080 Speaker 1: Washington and Bear Alexander inside is a problem. 59 00:02:41,560 --> 00:02:43,280 Speaker 2: Amari's the first rund pick, right. 60 00:02:43,400 --> 00:02:46,120 Speaker 1: Oh, then he's the best tackle I've seen so far. 61 00:02:46,120 --> 00:02:49,800 Speaker 2: No question. Probably not quite there on Bear Alexander, But 62 00:02:50,240 --> 00:02:50,720 Speaker 2: I mean. 63 00:02:51,080 --> 00:02:53,480 Speaker 1: To watch the tape. I know, I guess he's coming 64 00:02:53,520 --> 00:02:58,799 Speaker 1: back to school, coming back, but there's some freaky stuff 65 00:02:58,840 --> 00:02:59,760 Speaker 1: on tape with that kid. 66 00:03:00,000 --> 00:03:03,639 Speaker 2: He's been playing better since the Indiana loss, I mean 67 00:03:03,919 --> 00:03:04,680 Speaker 2: that's kind of been a. 68 00:03:05,040 --> 00:03:07,040 Speaker 1: Watch the last half of the Scenson stretch and I 69 00:03:07,080 --> 00:03:09,760 Speaker 1: was like, really good, there's some and I'm telling you 70 00:03:09,800 --> 00:03:12,560 Speaker 1: they've got They've got guys at all levels. That's it. 71 00:03:12,960 --> 00:03:15,680 Speaker 1: Both of their safeties are really good. The corner obviously 72 00:03:15,680 --> 00:03:18,240 Speaker 1: coming off of the huge game, is a great player. 73 00:03:18,320 --> 00:03:21,000 Speaker 1: We'll talk about him in two years. The linebackers run 74 00:03:21,040 --> 00:03:23,359 Speaker 1: all over the place. It is a very good defense, 75 00:03:23,440 --> 00:03:25,200 Speaker 1: and they're playing at a very high level. It's going 76 00:03:25,280 --> 00:03:29,359 Speaker 1: to be I just think, look Indiana, they've been awesome 77 00:03:29,600 --> 00:03:33,080 Speaker 1: and they've looked indestructible. I think that this version of 78 00:03:33,160 --> 00:03:36,200 Speaker 1: Oregon is going to be the best team that they've played, 79 00:03:36,200 --> 00:03:38,880 Speaker 1: and that includes Ohio State in the Big Ten Championship game. 80 00:03:39,080 --> 00:03:41,400 Speaker 2: I think I would agree with you on that. To 81 00:03:41,720 --> 00:03:44,600 Speaker 2: be perfectly honest, I do feel like Oregon has played 82 00:03:44,960 --> 00:03:48,320 Speaker 2: better as a team since the Indiana loss. T Now, 83 00:03:48,520 --> 00:03:51,000 Speaker 2: the interesting thing is they've really been going to the 84 00:03:51,040 --> 00:03:53,960 Speaker 2: two tight end looks right. You know they got a 85 00:03:53,960 --> 00:03:55,920 Speaker 2: first round pick in Kenyon Sadik. You know you want 86 00:03:55,920 --> 00:03:57,320 Speaker 2: to have him on the field at all times. You 87 00:03:57,400 --> 00:03:59,200 Speaker 2: probably got a first round pick in the other tight end, 88 00:03:59,440 --> 00:04:02,040 Speaker 2: Jamuri John and the next year whenever he decides to 89 00:04:02,040 --> 00:04:05,560 Speaker 2: come out. Now, he's not as much of a blockers 90 00:04:05,760 --> 00:04:08,320 Speaker 2: as Sidequal, but they are in twelve personnel. They were 91 00:04:08,360 --> 00:04:11,480 Speaker 2: seventy percent of the time against Texas Tech. It didn't 92 00:04:11,480 --> 00:04:13,200 Speaker 2: sound like Oregon to me. But the way that they've 93 00:04:13,200 --> 00:04:13,720 Speaker 2: been running the. 94 00:04:13,680 --> 00:04:16,760 Speaker 1: Flay also couldn't block Texas Tech. So there's another reason 95 00:04:16,760 --> 00:04:18,240 Speaker 1: to put some extra guys on the field. 96 00:04:18,279 --> 00:04:20,960 Speaker 2: There's that, but it does create some real matchup problems 97 00:04:21,000 --> 00:04:23,000 Speaker 2: with both of those tight ends, right like, just how 98 00:04:23,000 --> 00:04:24,919 Speaker 2: are you going to deal with that? You're probably probably 99 00:04:24,920 --> 00:04:26,760 Speaker 2: not gonna be in a lot of man coverage in 100 00:04:26,839 --> 00:04:29,159 Speaker 2: those looks, just because there's there's not a great matchup 101 00:04:29,640 --> 00:04:32,080 Speaker 2: with Sidiq and even with Jamar Johnson. 102 00:04:32,120 --> 00:04:34,280 Speaker 1: So we got buck on here. Buck, we audibled, We 103 00:04:34,360 --> 00:04:35,919 Speaker 1: moved some things around because I wanted to get you 104 00:04:36,040 --> 00:04:37,640 Speaker 1: here for sure when we get to the to the 105 00:04:37,800 --> 00:04:41,159 Speaker 1: NFL stuff on, some some goings on there. But I 106 00:04:41,160 --> 00:04:42,920 Speaker 1: figured we're in this college space, we min as, We'll 107 00:04:42,960 --> 00:04:46,159 Speaker 1: just live here for a minute looking at these these 108 00:04:46,200 --> 00:04:48,440 Speaker 1: matchups in these games. I was just making the case 109 00:04:48,480 --> 00:04:51,040 Speaker 1: the'rette right before you popped on that that going through 110 00:04:51,040 --> 00:04:53,359 Speaker 1: and watching Organs d line play the last half of 111 00:04:53,360 --> 00:04:56,160 Speaker 1: the year. It's impressive. Man, I just said like that, 112 00:04:56,200 --> 00:04:57,919 Speaker 1: this is not this is not just pencil in the 113 00:04:58,040 --> 00:04:59,719 Speaker 1: w because you beat a team and move on like 114 00:04:59,760 --> 00:05:01,200 Speaker 1: I have chance, I have a film. This is gonna 115 00:05:01,200 --> 00:05:01,960 Speaker 1: be an absolute war. 116 00:05:02,480 --> 00:05:04,080 Speaker 3: Hey, man, Look, it's funny that you brought it up 117 00:05:04,080 --> 00:05:06,440 Speaker 3: because last night I was studying in Washington and he 118 00:05:06,560 --> 00:05:11,560 Speaker 3: is absolutely dominous watching the same tape. His hand movement, 119 00:05:11,680 --> 00:05:14,279 Speaker 3: his ability to get up and out, and I'm just like, man, 120 00:05:14,320 --> 00:05:16,039 Speaker 3: this dude might be the best one of the bus. 121 00:05:16,080 --> 00:05:20,320 Speaker 3: Like he is terrific up front. And you're right, because 122 00:05:20,920 --> 00:05:23,799 Speaker 3: I'm fully immersing college football. I've gone to every website. 123 00:05:23,800 --> 00:05:25,920 Speaker 3: I've looked at all the videos from the social team 124 00:05:26,120 --> 00:05:28,200 Speaker 3: of Indiana, the behind the scenes clip, I've looked at 125 00:05:28,240 --> 00:05:31,679 Speaker 3: all the stuff. Dan Lanning is a maniac watching ducks 126 00:05:31,760 --> 00:05:35,279 Speaker 3: versus them, just how they're getting ready. To me, this 127 00:05:35,320 --> 00:05:38,159 Speaker 3: is fascinating because in my mind, I'm trying to figure 128 00:05:38,160 --> 00:05:41,200 Speaker 3: out what adjustments are Oregon going to make compared to 129 00:05:41,240 --> 00:05:43,760 Speaker 3: the first one. Because Dan Lanning after that game talked 130 00:05:43,760 --> 00:05:47,160 Speaker 3: about how Indiana not only out coached them, but outplayed them. 131 00:05:47,440 --> 00:05:50,240 Speaker 3: And you can tweak and adjust and do some things, 132 00:05:50,640 --> 00:05:53,520 Speaker 3: but the gall on the other sideline is a maniac too. 133 00:05:53,800 --> 00:05:56,279 Speaker 3: And kirksey Man, he's gonna have something in his bag. 134 00:05:56,600 --> 00:06:00,960 Speaker 3: With that coaching staff that is really good, well connected 135 00:06:01,200 --> 00:06:04,320 Speaker 3: with a really good team, This is a fascinating game 136 00:06:04,360 --> 00:06:06,000 Speaker 3: to watch because as much as I want to say, oh, 137 00:06:06,000 --> 00:06:09,200 Speaker 3: in a rebatch, look Oregon to do it, I'm looking 138 00:06:09,240 --> 00:06:14,400 Speaker 3: at how Indiana systematically tore part Alabama and I can 139 00:06:14,560 --> 00:06:18,240 Speaker 3: envision them doing similar things to Oregon as they are 140 00:06:18,360 --> 00:06:18,800 Speaker 3: dialed in. 141 00:06:19,760 --> 00:06:23,239 Speaker 2: So DJ's point earlier was the defensive line for Oregon 142 00:06:23,680 --> 00:06:26,840 Speaker 2: has really ascended, right, and they've really come together even 143 00:06:26,880 --> 00:06:29,479 Speaker 2: more so since the first time Indiana and Oregon played, 144 00:06:29,520 --> 00:06:31,239 Speaker 2: and I would one hundred percent agree with that. I'd 145 00:06:31,240 --> 00:06:35,760 Speaker 2: also tell you though, Indiana's offensive line has shuffled through 146 00:06:36,200 --> 00:06:38,160 Speaker 2: a fair amount of combinations over the course of the 147 00:06:38,240 --> 00:06:41,400 Speaker 2: last seven weeks, and I think settled in against Alabama 148 00:06:41,720 --> 00:06:44,839 Speaker 2: on their best group, and they tried out six offensive 149 00:06:44,839 --> 00:06:50,479 Speaker 2: linemen now fifteen times against Alabama and scored touchdowns. Two 150 00:06:50,480 --> 00:06:53,520 Speaker 2: of their touchdowns were in those fifteen plays, actually three 151 00:06:53,600 --> 00:06:57,160 Speaker 2: of them, So I do agree with you on that front. 152 00:06:57,160 --> 00:06:59,800 Speaker 2: But I think Indiana's offensive line is playing better than 153 00:06:59,839 --> 00:07:02,839 Speaker 2: they were in that first matchup. So I'm I'm one 154 00:07:02,880 --> 00:07:04,560 Speaker 2: hundred percent like this is gonna be. This to me 155 00:07:04,640 --> 00:07:07,080 Speaker 2: is as weird as it sounds. With a Heisman Trophy 156 00:07:07,080 --> 00:07:10,200 Speaker 2: winning quarterback and all of Oregon's weapons that we talk 157 00:07:10,240 --> 00:07:12,240 Speaker 2: about all the time, this is a line of scrimmage 158 00:07:12,280 --> 00:07:13,600 Speaker 2: game on both sides. 159 00:07:14,320 --> 00:07:16,560 Speaker 1: One hundred percent. I don't think there's any question about 160 00:07:16,600 --> 00:07:18,960 Speaker 1: it whatsoever that it will be decided there. And that's 161 00:07:18,960 --> 00:07:21,280 Speaker 1: why to me, it was just looking at it going, Man, 162 00:07:21,320 --> 00:07:23,600 Speaker 1: I knew, you know, TV scouting, you kind of see 163 00:07:23,640 --> 00:07:25,600 Speaker 1: some things, you see flashes here there, But then when 164 00:07:25,640 --> 00:07:28,080 Speaker 1: you watch it, I was like, man, Oregon all three levels, 165 00:07:28,120 --> 00:07:30,160 Speaker 1: they are fast, they run to the ball, and Uh, 166 00:07:30,400 --> 00:07:32,920 Speaker 1: it's gonna be. I think it's gonna be a fantastic game. 167 00:07:32,960 --> 00:07:35,640 Speaker 1: I cannot wait to watch that one. Uh we flip 168 00:07:35,640 --> 00:07:38,120 Speaker 1: it over to the other matchup. What are you looking 169 00:07:38,120 --> 00:07:40,280 Speaker 1: forward to in that one? Buck? I mean, I think 170 00:07:40,320 --> 00:07:43,560 Speaker 1: the obvious the obvious point is just that defensive line 171 00:07:43,600 --> 00:07:46,000 Speaker 1: for Miami is probably the best unit in that game. 172 00:07:46,160 --> 00:07:47,840 Speaker 1: And and had his old miss stack up. 173 00:07:48,640 --> 00:07:51,600 Speaker 3: Yeah, man, that that defensive line. Uh you talk about 174 00:07:51,640 --> 00:07:54,240 Speaker 3: three and four? Can any message or just being able 175 00:07:54,280 --> 00:07:56,840 Speaker 3: to get after the pass. And when you watch them 176 00:07:57,240 --> 00:07:59,640 Speaker 3: the way they play, man, they play so hard, so 177 00:07:59,760 --> 00:08:02,239 Speaker 3: much effort and energy they expand in terms of getting 178 00:08:02,280 --> 00:08:05,360 Speaker 3: after it. They relentless in their approach. And I'll say 179 00:08:05,360 --> 00:08:07,440 Speaker 3: they dominated the first two games of the playoffs the 180 00:08:07,440 --> 00:08:09,800 Speaker 3: way they went through Texas and m it was all 181 00:08:09,880 --> 00:08:11,960 Speaker 3: up front. And then the second game that they want 182 00:08:12,160 --> 00:08:14,800 Speaker 3: it was the same. But Trinidad Chamberless, his ability to 183 00:08:14,840 --> 00:08:17,800 Speaker 3: get out of the pocket, his abe to play off 184 00:08:18,000 --> 00:08:21,600 Speaker 3: out of structure, to me, it's fantastic, and we all 185 00:08:21,600 --> 00:08:23,840 Speaker 3: have a tremendous amount of respect for Georgia, but the 186 00:08:23,880 --> 00:08:27,640 Speaker 3: way that he took over that game, look, man, it 187 00:08:27,800 --> 00:08:30,200 Speaker 3: leads a lasting impression. I just have this sense, and 188 00:08:30,280 --> 00:08:34,240 Speaker 3: listening to Pete Golding and listening to the ole Miss players, man, 189 00:08:34,280 --> 00:08:36,600 Speaker 3: they are just locked in and focused. And I think 190 00:08:36,600 --> 00:08:39,120 Speaker 3: this is gonna be a very difficult game for Miami 191 00:08:39,440 --> 00:08:42,080 Speaker 3: because ultimately it's gonna come down the quarterback play and 192 00:08:42,120 --> 00:08:46,480 Speaker 3: it's Trinidad Chambless versus Carson Beck. Can't Carson Beck take 193 00:08:46,520 --> 00:08:49,400 Speaker 3: his game up a notch to match where Trinidad Chambis 194 00:08:49,520 --> 00:08:50,120 Speaker 3: is gonna play. 195 00:08:50,440 --> 00:08:52,680 Speaker 2: My thought is no, at this point, because I feel 196 00:08:52,720 --> 00:08:55,400 Speaker 2: like Chambers is on an absolute heater right now. The 197 00:08:55,520 --> 00:08:58,240 Speaker 2: quarterback on a heater in the tournament is a powerful thing, 198 00:08:59,080 --> 00:09:02,679 Speaker 2: and I rust what I've seen from him now. I 199 00:09:02,760 --> 00:09:06,280 Speaker 2: think you could say that Beck has held up pretty 200 00:09:06,320 --> 00:09:08,560 Speaker 2: well over these two wins that they've had. 201 00:09:08,720 --> 00:09:09,760 Speaker 1: It looks comfortable. 202 00:09:09,960 --> 00:09:12,520 Speaker 2: He does look way more comfortable than I feel like 203 00:09:12,600 --> 00:09:15,040 Speaker 2: we saw him, you know, maybe down the second half 204 00:09:15,040 --> 00:09:17,240 Speaker 2: of the season again for Miami in the regular season. 205 00:09:17,320 --> 00:09:20,440 Speaker 2: So but I trust Chambliss more to find ways to 206 00:09:20,440 --> 00:09:23,000 Speaker 2: make plays at this point than I do with Beck, 207 00:09:23,640 --> 00:09:25,640 Speaker 2: not to say that he can't, but just at a 208 00:09:25,720 --> 00:09:29,120 Speaker 2: higher level. I think he's playing better right now. That 209 00:09:29,240 --> 00:09:32,360 Speaker 2: offense puts him in I mean, just puts him in 210 00:09:32,640 --> 00:09:35,240 Speaker 2: great spots to push the ball down the field, to 211 00:09:35,280 --> 00:09:36,880 Speaker 2: get out of the pocket and make some of those 212 00:09:36,880 --> 00:09:42,440 Speaker 2: plays that might might help neutralize what Miami can do 213 00:09:42,520 --> 00:09:45,679 Speaker 2: up front, which is so dang impressive. So if they 214 00:09:45,720 --> 00:09:48,400 Speaker 2: contain him and they're bottling him up and he's not 215 00:09:48,480 --> 00:09:50,560 Speaker 2: running all over the field making plays, I think it 216 00:09:50,679 --> 00:09:53,520 Speaker 2: tilts into Miami's favor. But otherwise I got all missing 217 00:09:53,559 --> 00:09:54,040 Speaker 2: this one. 218 00:09:54,600 --> 00:09:57,160 Speaker 1: So guys, when I was in high school in Bath 219 00:09:57,280 --> 00:09:59,559 Speaker 1: high school basketball coach was a great coach, and he 220 00:09:59,640 --> 00:10:01,240 Speaker 1: used to all before the game, you can bring the 221 00:10:01,240 --> 00:10:03,080 Speaker 1: team in there in the little, little, tiny, little team 222 00:10:03,120 --> 00:10:06,199 Speaker 1: room you have in high school. Remember Buck the white boards. 223 00:10:06,600 --> 00:10:08,320 Speaker 1: He had the white board and he would write up 224 00:10:08,360 --> 00:10:10,160 Speaker 1: the keys to the game. He would like, oh, you know, hey, 225 00:10:10,200 --> 00:10:13,120 Speaker 1: we got defensive rebounding. You know, we got to take 226 00:10:13,160 --> 00:10:14,720 Speaker 1: care of the ball against the press and whatever. It 227 00:10:14,720 --> 00:10:16,800 Speaker 1: was always three things every game, and it was different 228 00:10:16,960 --> 00:10:19,760 Speaker 1: the keys of the game. So like for Trinidad Chambliss, 229 00:10:19,800 --> 00:10:22,640 Speaker 1: if I'm the quarterback coach, when he walks in to 230 00:10:22,679 --> 00:10:24,199 Speaker 1: the meeting room, this is this is what I'm just 231 00:10:24,240 --> 00:10:25,280 Speaker 1: putting up on the board here. 232 00:10:25,440 --> 00:10:28,439 Speaker 2: Yeah, space and chase. 233 00:10:28,720 --> 00:10:31,160 Speaker 1: That's it. We're gonna play fast this defensive line. This 234 00:10:31,160 --> 00:10:33,520 Speaker 1: is how we're handling this. We're gonna play fast. We're 235 00:10:33,520 --> 00:10:36,360 Speaker 1: gonna be out in space and make those dudes chase 236 00:10:36,400 --> 00:10:38,160 Speaker 1: you around, and we're gonna we get to the second 237 00:10:38,160 --> 00:10:39,959 Speaker 1: half of these guys tongue. Their tongue is gonna be 238 00:10:40,000 --> 00:10:42,040 Speaker 1: on the ground because we're gonna try and drag them 239 00:10:42,080 --> 00:10:44,160 Speaker 1: that way because we're not gonna out physically, you know, 240 00:10:44,280 --> 00:10:46,400 Speaker 1: handle those guys up front. They're not equipped to do so. 241 00:10:47,040 --> 00:10:48,480 Speaker 3: No, I mean I think that's the best way when 242 00:10:48,480 --> 00:10:50,520 Speaker 3: you look at Miami because they do play so much 243 00:10:50,600 --> 00:10:53,000 Speaker 3: zone like they're gonna be some windows and some availability, 244 00:10:53,000 --> 00:10:54,840 Speaker 3: They're gonna have to work perimeter and then it's gonna 245 00:10:54,840 --> 00:10:57,320 Speaker 3: come down to can you tackle in space? Which team 246 00:10:57,320 --> 00:10:59,319 Speaker 3: can tackle in space? Because if you want to operate 247 00:10:59,440 --> 00:11:02,720 Speaker 3: like that, now, it's about my playmakers, my ball carriers, 248 00:11:03,080 --> 00:11:06,720 Speaker 3: on your defensive backs. And Miami has tackled really well 249 00:11:06,760 --> 00:11:09,760 Speaker 3: throughout the tournament, like they're not missing many tackles in space. 250 00:11:09,760 --> 00:11:11,880 Speaker 3: There's not a lot of yak yards that are giving up. 251 00:11:12,160 --> 00:11:14,719 Speaker 3: So this is on those guys from Old Miss to 252 00:11:14,720 --> 00:11:16,640 Speaker 3: be able to scoot and wiggle and make things happen, 253 00:11:16,679 --> 00:11:19,040 Speaker 3: because if you're gonna play that perimeter game, you have 254 00:11:19,120 --> 00:11:20,960 Speaker 3: to be able to make the first defendive miss. If not, 255 00:11:21,000 --> 00:11:23,200 Speaker 3: we're just wasting time throwing a bunch of bubble screens 256 00:11:23,200 --> 00:11:23,600 Speaker 3: and s touch. 257 00:11:24,720 --> 00:11:27,960 Speaker 1: Yeah, and Miami saw they saw Jeremiah Love earlier this 258 00:11:28,040 --> 00:11:30,920 Speaker 1: year and held up, well, this is this back, this 259 00:11:31,040 --> 00:11:34,000 Speaker 1: back from Old Miss. I know he's he is. 260 00:11:37,480 --> 00:11:39,880 Speaker 2: If he doesn't get the I think they were looking 261 00:11:39,920 --> 00:11:41,600 Speaker 2: into another year of eligibility, right. 262 00:11:41,559 --> 00:11:43,840 Speaker 1: Yeah, I have not done a full work up there 263 00:11:43,880 --> 00:11:45,960 Speaker 1: because I'm jamming through guys. I know we're in this thing, 264 00:11:46,160 --> 00:11:48,640 Speaker 1: but he is. He is fun to watch, no question 265 00:11:49,320 --> 00:11:52,240 Speaker 1: for sure, I would say this, I haven't done my 266 00:11:52,559 --> 00:11:56,440 Speaker 1: full deal yet on on back, but it feels like 267 00:11:56,640 --> 00:11:59,560 Speaker 1: just from you know, and I look, I will Ty 268 00:11:59,640 --> 00:12:02,240 Speaker 1: Simpson just declared, And I did some homework on him 269 00:12:02,240 --> 00:12:03,800 Speaker 1: in terms of his health late in the year because 270 00:12:03,880 --> 00:12:07,000 Speaker 1: when I watched him, I wasn't super jazz, but I 271 00:12:07,040 --> 00:12:09,440 Speaker 1: did I know, I guess learning he had a back, 272 00:12:09,520 --> 00:12:11,120 Speaker 1: he had a burst, a sack like, he had a 273 00:12:11,120 --> 00:12:13,360 Speaker 1: lot of stuff injuries going on late in the year. 274 00:12:13,360 --> 00:12:14,600 Speaker 1: So I'm gonna try and I'm gonna try and be 275 00:12:14,720 --> 00:12:16,959 Speaker 1: fair and go back and watch. 276 00:12:17,280 --> 00:12:20,600 Speaker 3: His size too though, like he's not like. 277 00:12:22,800 --> 00:12:25,040 Speaker 1: Which which led me to I think this is an 278 00:12:25,080 --> 00:12:28,920 Speaker 1: important game between these two quarterbacks. If Campbell doesn't getn 279 00:12:28,960 --> 00:12:31,880 Speaker 1: extra year and with Beck having a ton of experience, 280 00:12:32,240 --> 00:12:34,240 Speaker 1: which we like to see, he's got size, he's got 281 00:12:34,280 --> 00:12:36,480 Speaker 1: on strength, and all of a sudden now he potentially 282 00:12:36,800 --> 00:12:38,520 Speaker 1: is in a national championship game with a chance to 283 00:12:38,520 --> 00:12:40,480 Speaker 1: win a national championship. That's a heck of a closing 284 00:12:40,559 --> 00:12:41,800 Speaker 1: argument for who the heck is going to be the 285 00:12:41,800 --> 00:12:42,560 Speaker 1: third quarterback. 286 00:12:42,679 --> 00:12:45,160 Speaker 2: We had talked about him, you know, coming in, you know, 287 00:12:45,240 --> 00:12:47,560 Speaker 2: maybe even going into his last season at Georgia. Is 288 00:12:47,600 --> 00:12:49,360 Speaker 2: like one of the guys in I. 289 00:12:49,320 --> 00:12:52,360 Speaker 1: Did him over the summer because we assumed first round 290 00:12:52,360 --> 00:12:54,720 Speaker 1: pick and then it just kind of didn't. It didn't 291 00:12:54,760 --> 00:12:57,199 Speaker 1: go that way. But you know, adversity, we always say, 292 00:12:57,200 --> 00:12:59,000 Speaker 1: you got you want guys who've got some scars on him. 293 00:12:59,000 --> 00:13:01,640 Speaker 1: He's got some scars on him. Sure, yeah, he does 294 00:13:01,679 --> 00:13:02,200 Speaker 1: have something. 295 00:13:02,280 --> 00:13:04,760 Speaker 3: Now. He's a Jacksonville kid, so you hear a lot 296 00:13:04,800 --> 00:13:09,360 Speaker 3: about his dynamic situation in those things. And look, we 297 00:13:09,400 --> 00:13:12,120 Speaker 3: talk about the adversity that's overcome not only on the 298 00:13:12,160 --> 00:13:14,680 Speaker 3: field but off the field and those things. He is 299 00:13:14,720 --> 00:13:16,600 Speaker 3: someone that is interesting. And you talk about being able 300 00:13:16,640 --> 00:13:19,200 Speaker 3: to play yourself up by the way that you perform 301 00:13:19,280 --> 00:13:21,720 Speaker 3: in the tournament. He has that chance. Now he hasn't 302 00:13:21,720 --> 00:13:24,200 Speaker 3: had to do much the first couple of games, but 303 00:13:24,280 --> 00:13:26,560 Speaker 3: in this game he is going to have to play 304 00:13:26,600 --> 00:13:29,400 Speaker 3: at a high level. What I will remember and Georgia 305 00:13:29,480 --> 00:13:32,920 Speaker 3: the toughness that he displayed when his elbow or whatever 306 00:13:32,920 --> 00:13:35,560 Speaker 3: and he goes back in and he wills him to victory. 307 00:13:35,880 --> 00:13:38,000 Speaker 3: That sticks out in my mind, because the one thing 308 00:13:38,040 --> 00:13:41,520 Speaker 3: that we know this position is about toughness, particularly the 309 00:13:41,600 --> 00:13:43,960 Speaker 3: next level. So now if he can do that with 310 00:13:44,040 --> 00:13:47,680 Speaker 3: the experience and a better performance, now we begin to 311 00:13:47,720 --> 00:13:50,240 Speaker 3: talk about him a little differently than maybe we would 312 00:13:50,520 --> 00:13:52,400 Speaker 3: if he didn't have these experiences in the tournament. 313 00:13:52,920 --> 00:13:56,000 Speaker 1: Yeah. Well, I'm pumped for these games, man, I cannot wait. 314 00:13:56,000 --> 00:13:57,960 Speaker 1: They're going to be awesome. I know RTT you're personally 315 00:13:58,000 --> 00:14:01,640 Speaker 1: invested in. I'm excited for you, man. And uh State 316 00:14:01,640 --> 00:14:03,559 Speaker 1: didn't make it this year, but I'm hoping next year 317 00:14:03,640 --> 00:14:05,560 Speaker 1: is our year. Next year we're in. We're in the 318 00:14:05,559 --> 00:14:07,640 Speaker 1: final four. Next year, a lot of furniture money. We 319 00:14:07,640 --> 00:14:09,760 Speaker 1: gotta we gotta doll out a lot of that furniture money, 320 00:14:09,800 --> 00:14:11,600 Speaker 1: trying to get the roster in a little bit better shape. 321 00:14:11,880 --> 00:14:13,640 Speaker 1: All right, let's say quick break, Buck, I've got some 322 00:14:13,720 --> 00:14:16,040 Speaker 1: terrible news for all of America. After the break, I'm 323 00:14:16,040 --> 00:14:23,760 Speaker 1: going to be right back. All right, let's get this 324 00:14:23,840 --> 00:14:25,320 Speaker 1: over with before we get to the stuff we want 325 00:14:25,360 --> 00:14:28,240 Speaker 1: to talk about on the NFL front. Here the the 326 00:14:28,280 --> 00:14:30,880 Speaker 1: rookie draft. If you're new to the show, we do 327 00:14:30,960 --> 00:14:33,200 Speaker 1: each and every week, the three of us, we have 328 00:14:33,280 --> 00:14:35,440 Speaker 1: a draft you can only draft rookies. They have to 329 00:14:35,480 --> 00:14:39,440 Speaker 1: be quarterbacks, running backs, tight ends, receivers. So we get 330 00:14:39,480 --> 00:14:41,960 Speaker 1: you get three of those players. Uh No, no quarterbacks 331 00:14:42,000 --> 00:14:44,000 Speaker 1: this year because we not this year. Yeah, just quarter 332 00:14:44,200 --> 00:14:46,640 Speaker 1: just a receivers, running backs, tight ends. So we did 333 00:14:46,640 --> 00:14:49,000 Speaker 1: this throughout the whole year. We tallyed the points basically 334 00:14:49,040 --> 00:14:52,920 Speaker 1: off of a you know, fantasy scoring system. There were 335 00:14:52,960 --> 00:14:57,520 Speaker 1: times where I felt like Bucky and I were gonna 336 00:14:57,560 --> 00:15:01,000 Speaker 1: assert our dominance. And those times were maybe in the preseason. 337 00:15:01,400 --> 00:15:04,760 Speaker 1: Once he actually started tabulating this thing. I think Rett 338 00:15:04,840 --> 00:15:07,360 Speaker 1: might have taken it wired a wire. He might actually 339 00:15:07,400 --> 00:15:09,600 Speaker 1: gone wired to wire. Bucky closed strong late to me 340 00:15:10,200 --> 00:15:13,400 Speaker 1: to make it close. Rhett ended up with seventy nine points. 341 00:15:13,720 --> 00:15:15,960 Speaker 1: Buck he got in seventies. He's at seventy three, just 342 00:15:16,000 --> 00:15:20,000 Speaker 1: six behind. And then I embarrassed myself sixty four points 343 00:15:20,080 --> 00:15:21,120 Speaker 1: just a distant third. 344 00:15:21,160 --> 00:15:23,160 Speaker 2: Yeah, you went kind of kid club nick down the stretch. 345 00:15:23,240 --> 00:15:25,160 Speaker 1: Yeah, you try, you know, they say trying to defend 346 00:15:25,160 --> 00:15:27,120 Speaker 1: the title is the hardest thing to do, you know, 347 00:15:27,520 --> 00:15:30,360 Speaker 1: And uh, I don't know if we were over confident, 348 00:15:30,520 --> 00:15:32,440 Speaker 1: you know what it was. 349 00:15:32,400 --> 00:15:33,080 Speaker 2: But it might have been. 350 00:15:33,360 --> 00:15:35,000 Speaker 1: I think it was also a retts here Buck, when 351 00:15:35,000 --> 00:15:37,560 Speaker 1: he has a kid, when's the Rose Bowl, when's the 352 00:15:37,640 --> 00:15:38,360 Speaker 1: rookie draft? 353 00:15:38,440 --> 00:15:40,840 Speaker 3: Like, it doesn't get any better. 354 00:15:41,640 --> 00:15:42,240 Speaker 1: It's his year. 355 00:15:42,760 --> 00:15:45,000 Speaker 3: I mean that. I mean the other thing got to 356 00:15:45,040 --> 00:15:47,280 Speaker 3: make it better is if Indiana basketball re emerges as 357 00:15:47,280 --> 00:15:49,040 Speaker 3: a powerhouse, and that would make me absolutely to. 358 00:15:49,280 --> 00:15:52,520 Speaker 1: Talk about that March. Yeah, we got time on that 359 00:15:52,560 --> 00:15:57,200 Speaker 1: front that well. Anyways, congratulations Rerett, well done. Thanks guys. 360 00:15:57,320 --> 00:15:59,760 Speaker 2: This is fun though, you know, it's great about it is. 361 00:16:00,640 --> 00:16:04,400 Speaker 2: I mean, it really keeps you locked in on you know, 362 00:16:04,480 --> 00:16:07,360 Speaker 2: some guys and in some ways and like how they're used, 363 00:16:07,960 --> 00:16:10,320 Speaker 2: how their usage changes during the year. Remember, I mean 364 00:16:10,560 --> 00:16:14,400 Speaker 2: Trevon Henderson was a zero for the first month of 365 00:16:14,400 --> 00:16:16,880 Speaker 2: the season. We were all thinking that would be, you know, 366 00:16:17,160 --> 00:16:19,520 Speaker 2: much different. Then he comes on strong, helps me get 367 00:16:19,520 --> 00:16:21,720 Speaker 2: this win in the last week of the season. Uh 368 00:16:21,720 --> 00:16:24,960 Speaker 2: you know mecha BUCA started strong and then physical. 369 00:16:25,080 --> 00:16:26,760 Speaker 1: Right, So let's get to these NFL games. 370 00:16:27,320 --> 00:16:31,240 Speaker 3: Uh right, you're right, you're right, you're right. 371 00:16:31,960 --> 00:16:33,640 Speaker 1: That's it. You got your got your one victory left. 372 00:16:33,720 --> 00:16:36,640 Speaker 1: I've given you too. That's it. Let's let's uh, let's 373 00:16:36,680 --> 00:16:38,360 Speaker 1: get to the news because I want to get some 374 00:16:38,440 --> 00:16:40,800 Speaker 1: of this news here. I couldn't do it anymore, Buck, 375 00:16:40,840 --> 00:16:42,920 Speaker 1: it's just embarrassing from us. Man, They've got to be sure. 376 00:16:44,160 --> 00:16:46,600 Speaker 1: How about I want to get Buck immediate thoughts. Uh, 377 00:16:46,680 --> 00:16:50,440 Speaker 1: we know since we've last been together, John Harbaugh let 378 00:16:50,480 --> 00:16:54,640 Speaker 1: go in Baltimore after eighteen years, and then you know, 379 00:16:54,680 --> 00:16:57,520 Speaker 1: maybe these are connected. But Mike McDaniel's let go this 380 00:16:57,600 --> 00:17:00,720 Speaker 1: morning with named dolphins. So I love to get your 381 00:17:00,720 --> 00:17:03,040 Speaker 1: first blushed thoughts on those two decisions and what that 382 00:17:03,080 --> 00:17:03,960 Speaker 1: looks like going forward. 383 00:17:04,400 --> 00:17:08,600 Speaker 3: Well, I mean it looks like Baltimore to Baltimore West 384 00:17:08,680 --> 00:17:13,240 Speaker 3: to now Baltimore South Florida. Maybe in terms of the connections, 385 00:17:13,280 --> 00:17:15,960 Speaker 3: you think about Ross being a Michigan guy, being well 386 00:17:16,000 --> 00:17:20,399 Speaker 3: connected to Jim Harbor, John Harbaugh's brother, kind of wanting 387 00:17:20,440 --> 00:17:24,040 Speaker 3: that thing all over again. They talk about maybe they're 388 00:17:24,119 --> 00:17:27,280 Speaker 3: talking to Chad Alexander potentially as the general manager, and 389 00:17:27,320 --> 00:17:29,199 Speaker 3: so if we don't get the band together, get the 390 00:17:29,240 --> 00:17:32,080 Speaker 3: band all the way together when it comes when it 391 00:17:32,119 --> 00:17:35,080 Speaker 3: comes to it. So I could I could see it, well. 392 00:17:35,040 --> 00:17:37,880 Speaker 1: Maybe, but Chad's a buddy of ours, and I work 393 00:17:37,920 --> 00:17:41,960 Speaker 1: with Chad forever and bucksmen friends them forever. But I 394 00:17:42,040 --> 00:17:44,200 Speaker 1: know people it's funny because people are saying, Wow, You've 395 00:17:44,240 --> 00:17:47,439 Speaker 1: got the you know, Stephen Ross connection with Michigan and 396 00:17:47,480 --> 00:17:49,760 Speaker 1: with the Harba's, so that connects them to the Harba's. 397 00:17:49,800 --> 00:17:52,560 Speaker 1: And then you've got Chad who works for jim now, 398 00:17:52,600 --> 00:17:55,560 Speaker 1: but it worked for john for over a decade in Baltimore, 399 00:17:55,640 --> 00:17:57,600 Speaker 1: so you know there's a relationship there. So that's how 400 00:17:57,600 --> 00:17:59,639 Speaker 1: it ties together. And I'm sitting there thinking, you know 401 00:17:59,640 --> 00:18:02,199 Speaker 1: what they're not, but this is that's That's that's the 402 00:18:02,280 --> 00:18:05,479 Speaker 1: baseline ball knowledge, Buck. But the other ball knowledge is 403 00:18:05,680 --> 00:18:07,879 Speaker 1: who have they gone to for opinions on this thing? Well, 404 00:18:07,880 --> 00:18:10,160 Speaker 1: they tried to reach out to Jimmy Johnson first of all, 405 00:18:10,160 --> 00:18:11,800 Speaker 1: and Jimmy said, but I don't really want to be 406 00:18:11,840 --> 00:18:13,680 Speaker 1: involved with that, But why don't you use Troykman. Okay, 407 00:18:13,680 --> 00:18:17,000 Speaker 1: so we use Troyikman. Troikman and Jimmy Johnson together with 408 00:18:17,040 --> 00:18:19,720 Speaker 1: the Dallas Cowboys. The wide receivers coach on those Dallas 409 00:18:19,720 --> 00:18:25,080 Speaker 1: Cowboys teams one Alexander Hulbert, Alexander's son Chad. Alexander Chad's 410 00:18:25,119 --> 00:18:27,240 Speaker 1: known troyce Is. He's a little kid like you know, 411 00:18:27,280 --> 00:18:29,680 Speaker 1: he's been around the practice fields there, you know, way 412 00:18:29,680 --> 00:18:33,320 Speaker 1: way back. So there's a lot of connective tissue here 413 00:18:33,640 --> 00:18:35,480 Speaker 1: with that thing, it does make a lot of sense. 414 00:18:35,480 --> 00:18:37,600 Speaker 1: We'll see, I know, John Harbor is gonna have his choice. 415 00:18:37,600 --> 00:18:39,840 Speaker 1: Maybe he wants to go somewhere where there's a more 416 00:18:39,920 --> 00:18:44,239 Speaker 1: established quarterback situation, you know, wherever that might be, or 417 00:18:44,280 --> 00:18:46,439 Speaker 1: you know, there's there's lots of different opinions on that, 418 00:18:46,560 --> 00:18:49,600 Speaker 1: but you could make a pretty pretty strong case that 419 00:18:49,600 --> 00:18:51,199 Speaker 1: that makes a lot of sense for those to be 420 00:18:51,200 --> 00:18:51,800 Speaker 1: paired together. 421 00:18:52,040 --> 00:18:56,000 Speaker 2: I mean, even outside of the obvious connections there with 422 00:18:56,000 --> 00:18:59,520 Speaker 2: with Chad and with with John Harbaugh. I mean, the 423 00:18:59,560 --> 00:19:03,600 Speaker 2: Dolphins conducted the initial phase of the GM interviews, moved 424 00:19:03,600 --> 00:19:06,159 Speaker 2: into the second phase, identified four guys that they're going 425 00:19:06,200 --> 00:19:08,359 Speaker 2: to bring in addition to Chad, it's Champ Kelly, who's 426 00:19:08,359 --> 00:19:11,560 Speaker 2: been the interim now two times over in two different franchises, 427 00:19:11,600 --> 00:19:15,960 Speaker 2: John Eric Sullivan, and then Josh Williams. I mean, you 428 00:19:16,000 --> 00:19:18,439 Speaker 2: could also kind of point a picture there and like 429 00:19:18,480 --> 00:19:21,840 Speaker 2: you're thinning the herd. But also you're getting feedback on 430 00:19:21,840 --> 00:19:24,960 Speaker 2: on Mike McDaniels from a lot of these jms, and 431 00:19:25,200 --> 00:19:28,720 Speaker 2: maybe that theme was, Hey, if this happens for us, 432 00:19:28,960 --> 00:19:31,600 Speaker 2: we've got to look to a different direction there at 433 00:19:31,600 --> 00:19:33,640 Speaker 2: the head coaching spot now that they've kind of been 434 00:19:33,640 --> 00:19:34,639 Speaker 2: through some of those interviews. 435 00:19:34,640 --> 00:19:36,080 Speaker 1: Well, Bucky, you saw that in Jacksonville. 436 00:19:36,280 --> 00:19:39,880 Speaker 3: Yeah, Like, so a few different things. One, I'll say 437 00:19:39,920 --> 00:19:42,240 Speaker 3: this about Miami when you talk to the people around there, 438 00:19:42,280 --> 00:19:45,960 Speaker 3: they talked about the culture probably needing to be a 439 00:19:45,960 --> 00:19:49,439 Speaker 3: little harder edge, right, So DJ and I saw DJ's 440 00:19:49,480 --> 00:19:53,400 Speaker 3: gone to Miami Heat games. That city requires a different 441 00:19:53,560 --> 00:19:57,440 Speaker 3: level of discipline and detail within your organization to avoid 442 00:19:57,840 --> 00:20:02,359 Speaker 3: the distractions that can lure your So the happy, go along, 443 00:20:02,440 --> 00:20:05,840 Speaker 3: get along environment that might have existed under Mike McDaniel 444 00:20:06,119 --> 00:20:07,920 Speaker 3: is never going to work in Miami because you can't 445 00:20:07,960 --> 00:20:11,160 Speaker 3: get your players to operate and live in the right 446 00:20:11,200 --> 00:20:14,000 Speaker 3: space when it comes to that, when it comes to 447 00:20:14,720 --> 00:20:18,960 Speaker 3: like moving on and trying to get like whatever. Those 448 00:20:19,040 --> 00:20:21,400 Speaker 3: other candidates that you talked about, I am sure they 449 00:20:21,440 --> 00:20:24,040 Speaker 3: looked at the situation. I'm sure they've also heard the 450 00:20:24,119 --> 00:20:26,359 Speaker 3: stories and they feel like, hey man, we got to 451 00:20:26,359 --> 00:20:29,040 Speaker 3: have a different approach to be able to be successful 452 00:20:29,080 --> 00:20:30,919 Speaker 3: in this environment. I think there are a lot of 453 00:20:30,920 --> 00:20:34,399 Speaker 3: things in play outside of the connections with Ax and 454 00:20:34,920 --> 00:20:37,199 Speaker 3: Troy and Jimmy Johnson those things, But I think a 455 00:20:37,200 --> 00:20:38,919 Speaker 3: lot of people can look at the locker room and 456 00:20:38,960 --> 00:20:40,800 Speaker 3: the issues that they've had the last couple of years 457 00:20:41,119 --> 00:20:43,399 Speaker 3: and say that, yeah, we have to operate differently in 458 00:20:43,440 --> 00:20:45,080 Speaker 3: this space that we're going to be a consistent winner 459 00:20:45,080 --> 00:20:45,720 Speaker 3: in South Florida. 460 00:20:46,840 --> 00:20:48,840 Speaker 1: Yeah, it's get interesting to see what they do. Again. The 461 00:20:48,880 --> 00:20:52,840 Speaker 1: quarterback thing is murky there unless unless they feel quinn 462 00:20:52,840 --> 00:20:54,639 Speaker 1: Ewers is that dude you know going forward? 463 00:20:54,640 --> 00:20:55,760 Speaker 2: Which pay pretty? 464 00:20:55,760 --> 00:20:57,520 Speaker 1: You stack up when you stack up quin yours? Who 465 00:20:57,600 --> 00:20:59,040 Speaker 1: you know a lot of people thought, man, you should 466 00:20:59,040 --> 00:21:00,560 Speaker 1: have gone on the portal, could have made five million 467 00:21:00,560 --> 00:21:03,440 Speaker 1: bucks last year, come out this year. Now he didn't 468 00:21:03,440 --> 00:21:05,359 Speaker 1: get the money initially up front, but he's going to 469 00:21:05,359 --> 00:21:08,480 Speaker 1: get to free agency a year earlier now with where 470 00:21:08,520 --> 00:21:11,919 Speaker 1: he was selected, and he's been given the opportunity to 471 00:21:11,960 --> 00:21:14,720 Speaker 1: be a starting quarterback. So maybe that's maybe that's their guy. 472 00:21:15,160 --> 00:21:17,560 Speaker 3: But now let's look at it this way. Where would 473 00:21:17,600 --> 00:21:19,240 Speaker 3: Queen Years go when thissues draft? 474 00:21:19,359 --> 00:21:20,800 Speaker 1: That was my point, I mean, because you could look 475 00:21:20,800 --> 00:21:24,640 Speaker 1: at so now he would have been stacked up favorably. Yeah. 476 00:21:24,760 --> 00:21:27,680 Speaker 3: So now is Queen Ews versus the twenty twenty six 477 00:21:27,760 --> 00:21:30,600 Speaker 3: last with Queen Ears has the benefit of playing NFL 478 00:21:30,880 --> 00:21:32,639 Speaker 3: in the league for one year, So we get a 479 00:21:32,720 --> 00:21:35,520 Speaker 3: chance to see him play good on good and maybe 480 00:21:35,560 --> 00:21:38,040 Speaker 3: that's the conversation that you begin to have with the 481 00:21:38,080 --> 00:21:40,080 Speaker 3: guys who are eventually going to be the decision makers. 482 00:21:40,359 --> 00:21:42,200 Speaker 2: Well, and the Dolphins probably won too many games down 483 00:21:42,240 --> 00:21:43,640 Speaker 2: the stretch to note in. 484 00:21:43,560 --> 00:21:45,439 Speaker 1: The market for the top two guys, and it drops 485 00:21:45,440 --> 00:21:48,480 Speaker 1: off a cliff. Yeah exactly. So yeah, I'll managine to 486 00:21:48,480 --> 00:21:51,360 Speaker 1: see how that all shakes out quickly. On on Baltimore 487 00:21:51,400 --> 00:21:54,320 Speaker 1: side of things, Buck, I've drawn the I've drawn the 488 00:21:54,400 --> 00:21:56,560 Speaker 1: very easy line from just from my vantage point of 489 00:21:56,600 --> 00:21:59,040 Speaker 1: Jesse Minner. You know, you look at Jesse Minner, having 490 00:21:59,080 --> 00:22:01,400 Speaker 1: spent time there in baltim More, it's an easy move. 491 00:22:01,440 --> 00:22:04,440 Speaker 1: Their defense needs needs massive improvement when he was there 492 00:22:04,480 --> 00:22:06,200 Speaker 1: once upon a time when they were a good defense 493 00:22:06,440 --> 00:22:08,520 Speaker 1: with him and Mike McDonald. Oh, by the way, Mike 494 00:22:08,640 --> 00:22:12,440 Speaker 1: McDonald very similar guy. Look at the success he's had 495 00:22:12,440 --> 00:22:15,000 Speaker 1: with Seattle. You could make that case. And then I 496 00:22:15,000 --> 00:22:18,560 Speaker 1: would also point to Anthony Weaver, who was very popular 497 00:22:18,600 --> 00:22:22,119 Speaker 1: in that building as a player and a list right now, yes, 498 00:22:22,240 --> 00:22:24,560 Speaker 1: and then has been in Miami as the DC there. 499 00:22:24,640 --> 00:22:27,240 Speaker 1: I think he's a he's a legitimate candidate, and the 500 00:22:27,280 --> 00:22:30,720 Speaker 1: one name that I think might surprise people, but I've 501 00:22:30,720 --> 00:22:32,800 Speaker 1: seen him on darn near every one of these lists, 502 00:22:32,840 --> 00:22:34,560 Speaker 1: and I've heard a lot of good things about him 503 00:22:34,600 --> 00:22:37,600 Speaker 1: as Davis Webb. I don't know if you guys don't 504 00:22:37,600 --> 00:22:40,520 Speaker 1: have any connection to him, or well, yeah, did you 505 00:22:40,560 --> 00:22:41,920 Speaker 1: do E Lead eleven stuff with him? 506 00:22:42,000 --> 00:22:43,960 Speaker 3: Yeah? Yeah, I remember Davis like when he was coming 507 00:22:44,000 --> 00:22:45,879 Speaker 3: through there, Like it's funny to watch him go all 508 00:22:45,920 --> 00:22:48,040 Speaker 3: the way up and now he's being talked about. It 509 00:22:48,119 --> 00:22:50,800 Speaker 3: is interesting having been into Sean Payton program what he's 510 00:22:50,840 --> 00:22:53,399 Speaker 3: been tasked with, watching the development of bo Nicks and 511 00:22:53,440 --> 00:22:56,720 Speaker 3: those guys. That's a really really interesting name, and I 512 00:22:56,720 --> 00:22:59,359 Speaker 3: think it's funny because one of the name that I 513 00:22:59,359 --> 00:23:02,359 Speaker 3: think we're throwing with Baltimore ties by way of his 514 00:23:02,440 --> 00:23:05,000 Speaker 3: dad would be Clint Kubiak giving it. Gary Kubiak was 515 00:23:05,000 --> 00:23:07,119 Speaker 3: offense coordinated when they won the Super Bowl. To me, 516 00:23:07,720 --> 00:23:10,800 Speaker 3: what Baltimore needs is not a reset. They need a refresh. 517 00:23:10,880 --> 00:23:14,040 Speaker 3: They need someone that understands the culture. They just need 518 00:23:14,080 --> 00:23:16,239 Speaker 3: to freshen it up a little bit, similar to what 519 00:23:16,320 --> 00:23:21,000 Speaker 3: Mike McDonald did a little bit in Seattle. Jesse Mentor 520 00:23:21,000 --> 00:23:23,640 Speaker 3: would be good for that. Anthony Weaver would be good 521 00:23:23,640 --> 00:23:27,320 Speaker 3: for that. It'll just be interesting to see how this 522 00:23:27,359 --> 00:23:29,879 Speaker 3: plays out, because man, when you've had a coach eighteen 523 00:23:29,960 --> 00:23:33,160 Speaker 3: years a lot of success in those things, I wonder 524 00:23:33,240 --> 00:23:35,840 Speaker 3: how it goes. But I will say this, having read 525 00:23:35,920 --> 00:23:38,159 Speaker 3: and talked to people in the building about the Lamar 526 00:23:38,240 --> 00:23:41,240 Speaker 3: Jackson theme, the articles that came out, and how that is. Man, 527 00:23:41,320 --> 00:23:43,080 Speaker 3: situation number one is you got to get the culture 528 00:23:43,160 --> 00:23:44,560 Speaker 3: right in the locker room when it comes to how 529 00:23:44,680 --> 00:23:49,200 Speaker 3: everyone is treated, how everyone is responding to the demands 530 00:23:49,320 --> 00:23:50,000 Speaker 3: of the culture. 531 00:23:51,359 --> 00:23:53,680 Speaker 2: Yeah, boy, I think about that a lot. And this 532 00:23:54,000 --> 00:23:56,240 Speaker 2: will be a first DJ. This is this is going 533 00:23:56,320 --> 00:23:58,400 Speaker 2: to be my first baseball analogy. 534 00:23:58,160 --> 00:24:05,960 Speaker 3: On baseball game baseball baseball guy. 535 00:24:06,000 --> 00:24:08,760 Speaker 2: Okay, but you remember before I came to NFL Network, 536 00:24:09,240 --> 00:24:11,920 Speaker 2: I was in Boston for five years and was around 537 00:24:12,560 --> 00:24:15,520 Speaker 2: the baseball junkies that won a World Series title in 538 00:24:15,560 --> 00:24:18,680 Speaker 2: twenty thirteen. You know, the Johnny Gomeses of the world 539 00:24:18,680 --> 00:24:22,600 Speaker 2: that came together there and they did that. They formed 540 00:24:22,600 --> 00:24:26,080 Speaker 2: that culture there After, culture had gone sour in the 541 00:24:26,119 --> 00:24:30,240 Speaker 2: final years of Terry Francona's run in Boston, and it 542 00:24:30,280 --> 00:24:33,240 Speaker 2: didn't feel like it was anybody's fault. And I thought, 543 00:24:33,480 --> 00:24:36,240 Speaker 2: you know, Terry was very kind of honest about it 544 00:24:36,280 --> 00:24:38,080 Speaker 2: all when it all happened. At the end, it had 545 00:24:38,119 --> 00:24:41,480 Speaker 2: like a press conference afterwards and talked about how, you know, 546 00:24:41,520 --> 00:24:45,280 Speaker 2: like sometimes it's just time for a new voice, and 547 00:24:46,000 --> 00:24:48,120 Speaker 2: not that John Harbaugh has been there for eighteen years, 548 00:24:48,160 --> 00:24:50,159 Speaker 2: but he's been there with you know, the core of 549 00:24:50,160 --> 00:24:53,320 Speaker 2: that team now for Lamar's whole tenure, which is kind 550 00:24:53,320 --> 00:24:55,320 Speaker 2: of getting up there in years, and we don't even 551 00:24:55,600 --> 00:24:58,679 Speaker 2: really think about it, and you know, I think sometimes 552 00:24:58,720 --> 00:25:03,040 Speaker 2: the messaging can go tale. And so whether that was 553 00:25:03,080 --> 00:25:05,119 Speaker 2: the case or not, it feels like it was just 554 00:25:05,200 --> 00:25:07,480 Speaker 2: times kind of like James Franklin Penn State. Could they 555 00:25:07,480 --> 00:25:09,919 Speaker 2: have kept him, Yeah, sure, but like it felt like 556 00:25:10,000 --> 00:25:12,639 Speaker 2: it was probably that thing had kind of run its course. 557 00:25:13,240 --> 00:25:20,879 Speaker 2: And I'm wondering, now do they go opposite or do 558 00:25:20,920 --> 00:25:24,600 Speaker 2: they try to bring in something that is similar, you know, 559 00:25:24,640 --> 00:25:27,840 Speaker 2: to what they've been accustomed to here. Davis Webb would 560 00:25:27,880 --> 00:25:30,600 Speaker 2: be the opposite to me at this point in terms 561 00:25:30,640 --> 00:25:33,480 Speaker 2: of certainly experienced and Peter only I will say that 562 00:25:33,560 --> 00:25:35,480 Speaker 2: I was really impressed with him, Bucky. I don't remember 563 00:25:35,480 --> 00:25:37,960 Speaker 2: your impressions, but he was the offensive coordinator at the 564 00:25:38,000 --> 00:25:41,080 Speaker 2: Shrine Hoole we did production meetings with him, and you know, 565 00:25:41,119 --> 00:25:43,639 Speaker 2: he's the KEYB coach in Denver. But it felt like 566 00:25:43,680 --> 00:25:46,359 Speaker 2: he was kind of ready for that moment at that time. 567 00:25:46,600 --> 00:25:49,040 Speaker 2: He was I felt like he also had Sean Payton's 568 00:25:49,080 --> 00:25:51,000 Speaker 2: like shadow over his shoulder, was a little bit careful 569 00:25:51,000 --> 00:25:53,840 Speaker 2: about what he was trying to say. But it did 570 00:25:53,960 --> 00:25:55,840 Speaker 2: feel like that was a moment that you were like, Okay, 571 00:25:55,880 --> 00:25:59,359 Speaker 2: I could envision this guy being a part, you know, 572 00:25:59,400 --> 00:26:01,919 Speaker 2: and leading a franchise because you know, he kind of 573 00:26:01,960 --> 00:26:04,280 Speaker 2: He's been around some really good ones. Eli speaks highly 574 00:26:04,359 --> 00:26:06,960 Speaker 2: of them when they were together, you know, in New 575 00:26:07,040 --> 00:26:09,000 Speaker 2: York with the Giants when he was back up there. 576 00:26:09,720 --> 00:26:12,440 Speaker 2: So I think that'd be great, a great, great piece 577 00:26:12,440 --> 00:26:13,320 Speaker 2: for a quarterback too. 578 00:26:13,800 --> 00:26:16,119 Speaker 3: Yeah, we'll respected to go from being a backup to 579 00:26:16,200 --> 00:26:18,320 Speaker 3: immediately getting the quarterback job to the game going with 580 00:26:18,320 --> 00:26:20,840 Speaker 3: Sean Payton and doing all those things. He speaks highly 581 00:26:20,880 --> 00:26:23,480 Speaker 3: of what he brings to the room. And I'm gonna 582 00:26:23,480 --> 00:26:25,920 Speaker 3: say this, the Baltimore Ravens are at a cross roads 583 00:26:25,920 --> 00:26:27,720 Speaker 3: when it comes to Lamar Jackson. They got to figure 584 00:26:27,760 --> 00:26:30,200 Speaker 3: out what the contract situation is, but they're doing it 585 00:26:30,640 --> 00:26:33,200 Speaker 3: with a quarterback that is aging and for the first time, 586 00:26:33,280 --> 00:26:35,520 Speaker 3: and maybe it was my eyes. The first time I 587 00:26:35,560 --> 00:26:39,320 Speaker 3: watched the Pittsburgh game, I saw Lamar Jackson run and 588 00:26:39,359 --> 00:26:42,480 Speaker 3: he didn't have the superpowers that I'm used to seeing. 589 00:26:42,720 --> 00:26:45,560 Speaker 3: The juice is not there. And when you think about 590 00:26:45,920 --> 00:26:49,080 Speaker 3: athletic quarterbacks and what happens as they get up in age, 591 00:26:49,200 --> 00:26:51,359 Speaker 3: we saw it happening with Russell Wilson. When you lose 592 00:26:51,400 --> 00:26:55,080 Speaker 3: that part of it. Does he have the foundational skills 593 00:26:55,119 --> 00:26:59,840 Speaker 3: to transition into being a pocket passer full time and 594 00:27:00,080 --> 00:27:03,159 Speaker 3: an occasional runner. Whoever takes over that job has to 595 00:27:03,160 --> 00:27:04,920 Speaker 3: have a plan to deal with a quarterback who was 596 00:27:04,960 --> 00:27:05,560 Speaker 3: in transition. 597 00:27:06,200 --> 00:27:08,960 Speaker 1: Can I give you my if I was Mike McDaniel's agent, 598 00:27:09,080 --> 00:27:11,280 Speaker 1: my one thought with him going forward, and we'll kind 599 00:27:11,280 --> 00:27:14,320 Speaker 1: of wrap this thing up. I would say, listen, man, 600 00:27:14,440 --> 00:27:16,880 Speaker 1: like you want to be a head coach again? This 601 00:27:16,960 --> 00:27:19,720 Speaker 1: is the move right now. It sounds like that the 602 00:27:19,800 --> 00:27:21,520 Speaker 1: Chiefs are going to let Naggie go somewhere where he 603 00:27:21,520 --> 00:27:24,760 Speaker 1: can call plays. Let's get to a team that needs 604 00:27:24,760 --> 00:27:27,600 Speaker 1: to be refreshed. Let's go with Andy Reid. Bring all 605 00:27:27,640 --> 00:27:31,440 Speaker 1: your ideas, you know, bring all your creativity, and see 606 00:27:31,480 --> 00:27:34,720 Speaker 1: if you can't rekindle this offense, it's gone stale in 607 00:27:34,800 --> 00:27:37,800 Speaker 1: Kansas City, and you've got Patrick Mahomes as a head 608 00:27:37,840 --> 00:27:39,760 Speaker 1: of a player to be able to try and implement 609 00:27:40,040 --> 00:27:43,679 Speaker 1: all of your ideas. To me, that one, that one 610 00:27:43,720 --> 00:27:45,480 Speaker 1: would be kind of scary a little bit for the 611 00:27:45,560 --> 00:27:48,359 Speaker 1: league buck when you look at just kind of it 612 00:27:48,440 --> 00:27:50,880 Speaker 1: just feels like that this again that word we're using, 613 00:27:50,880 --> 00:27:53,399 Speaker 1: it's kind of stale. It's just they need something, they 614 00:27:53,400 --> 00:27:56,240 Speaker 1: need something new. And I think McDaniel, for whatever anybody 615 00:27:56,280 --> 00:27:58,760 Speaker 1: thinks of him as a head coach, nobody can doubt 616 00:27:58,800 --> 00:28:01,200 Speaker 1: how good he is at design things and being creative. 617 00:28:01,200 --> 00:28:02,760 Speaker 1: And I think Andy Reid would welcome that. 618 00:28:03,359 --> 00:28:05,560 Speaker 3: Yeah. Look, I think for Andy Reider be the first 619 00:28:05,560 --> 00:28:09,119 Speaker 3: time that these really gone outside the family to bring 620 00:28:09,160 --> 00:28:12,760 Speaker 3: in an offensive mind, because that system that Mike McDaniel 621 00:28:12,840 --> 00:28:16,359 Speaker 3: runs isn't not quite the West Coast thing and is, 622 00:28:16,400 --> 00:28:20,399 Speaker 3: but it's derivative of that from that, Yeah, but the 623 00:28:20,520 --> 00:28:23,920 Speaker 3: idea is in terms of the creativity, the different motions 624 00:28:23,960 --> 00:28:26,280 Speaker 3: that we've seen Mike mcdanag used, the way that they 625 00:28:26,280 --> 00:28:28,680 Speaker 3: were able to get the run game unlocked in a 626 00:28:28,800 --> 00:28:31,200 Speaker 3: very creative way. There's a lot of things that Andy 627 00:28:31,240 --> 00:28:33,560 Speaker 3: Reid could take that could enhance what they're already doing 628 00:28:33,600 --> 00:28:34,200 Speaker 3: in Kansas City. 629 00:28:34,200 --> 00:28:36,560 Speaker 2: But I mean that was what immediately struck me when 630 00:28:36,640 --> 00:28:38,800 Speaker 2: you when you mentioned that, was, boy, does Kansas City 631 00:28:38,840 --> 00:28:39,960 Speaker 2: need a refresh. 632 00:28:39,520 --> 00:28:40,640 Speaker 1: In the run game? Right? 633 00:28:40,720 --> 00:28:42,680 Speaker 2: And that would be I mean some of the stuff 634 00:28:42,680 --> 00:28:45,800 Speaker 2: that McDaniel has done with you know, shoot a bunch 635 00:28:45,800 --> 00:28:48,440 Speaker 2: of different backs now, but with a Chan and Raheem 636 00:28:48,440 --> 00:28:51,280 Speaker 2: Mooster scoring touchdowns you know left and right for that 637 00:28:51,360 --> 00:28:53,080 Speaker 2: team a couple of years ago as well. I think 638 00:28:53,080 --> 00:28:56,200 Speaker 2: that would be a welcome site to Kansasity. 639 00:28:56,240 --> 00:28:59,920 Speaker 1: So we'll see. Anyways, this was this was a fun one. 640 00:29:00,000 --> 00:29:02,040 Speaker 1: There's a lot of other openings that well, we'll get 641 00:29:02,080 --> 00:29:03,720 Speaker 1: to on another episode. I think this thing is I 642 00:29:03,760 --> 00:29:05,440 Speaker 1: don't know that this is going to sprint through all 643 00:29:05,440 --> 00:29:07,680 Speaker 1: these hirings. I think teams have really started to take 644 00:29:07,720 --> 00:29:09,280 Speaker 1: their time on this. They want to talk to a 645 00:29:09,280 --> 00:29:12,000 Speaker 1: lot of different candidates. So we'll see how long. It does. 646 00:29:12,040 --> 00:29:13,640 Speaker 1: Sound like the Dolphins want to get their GM in 647 00:29:13,680 --> 00:29:15,520 Speaker 1: place because they need to get their head coaching things 648 00:29:15,520 --> 00:29:17,680 Speaker 1: started up. So I'm sure, shoot, as you're listening to this, 649 00:29:17,720 --> 00:29:20,760 Speaker 1: it might already been announced, but who knows. Hey, Rhett, 650 00:29:20,800 --> 00:29:22,560 Speaker 1: I know you got to get to work, buddy. Yeah, 651 00:29:22,800 --> 00:29:25,840 Speaker 1: we appreciate you. Congrats again on the year of the 652 00:29:25,920 --> 00:29:27,560 Speaker 1: Year of Rhett and twenty twenty six. 653 00:29:27,600 --> 00:29:30,080 Speaker 2: Often start, learn from the best, guys. I learned from 654 00:29:30,120 --> 00:29:32,120 Speaker 2: the best, you know. I learned my scouting from the best. 655 00:29:32,240 --> 00:29:34,280 Speaker 2: So that's you, guys, You guys.
