It was a long time. So 9 00:00:27,000 --> 00:00:29,240 Speaker 1: we kicked the feed up. But now where training camp 10 00:00:29,320 --> 00:00:31,160 Speaker 1: has said to start?

I got so board Bucky that the padres 19 00:00:49,600 --> 00:00:53,320 Speaker 1: are in last place. They're terrible. I paid the like 20 00:00:53,479 --> 00:00:57,720 Speaker 1: hundred and seventy nine bucks for the MLB package so 21 00:00:57,760 --> 00:00:59,800 Speaker 1: I could watch the Padres every night. That's how that 22 00:01:00,080 --> 00:01:02,400 Speaker 1: my level of boarding. Wow, that's that's a lot. It's 23 00:01:02,400 --> 00:01:04,000 Speaker 1: a lot of bad baseball. I paid for a lot 24 00:01:04,000 --> 00:01:06,039 Speaker 1: of a lot of bad baseball that you certainly paid for. 25 00:01:06,120 --> 00:01:09,280 Speaker 1: But I did have an opportunity. Like you talk about baseball, Um, 26 00:01:09,480 --> 00:01:12,319 Speaker 1: I love baseball. I love baseball in all forms, obviously 27 00:01:12,319 --> 00:01:13,800 Speaker 1: from little League all the way up. I got you 28 00:01:13,920 --> 00:01:16,560 Speaker 1: watching the College World Series. Oh nice, is really kind 29 00:01:16,600 --> 00:01:19,760 Speaker 1: of cool you go in person? I did not have 30 00:01:19,800 --> 00:01:21,360 Speaker 1: you ever done. That's a bucket list type. It is 31 00:01:21,360 --> 00:01:23,160 Speaker 1: a bucket list type going to Omaha and kind of 32 00:01:23,160 --> 00:01:24,600 Speaker 1: seeing it. But I did get a chance to meet 33 00:01:24,680 --> 00:01:26,720 Speaker 1: a parent of one of the players for the College 34 00:01:26,760 --> 00:01:28,959 Speaker 1: of Charleston to end up winning it. Which is it 35 00:01:29,040 --> 00:01:32,200 Speaker 1: was a coastal I think it's colds Carolina, coast Carolina. 36 00:01:32,959 --> 00:01:34,680 Speaker 1: The whole thing. One of the one of the crazy, 37 00:01:34,840 --> 00:01:38,559 Speaker 1: like one of the big Cinderella stories in college sports. Unbelievable, 38 00:01:38,720 --> 00:01:42,840 Speaker 1: unbelievable to watch chance of Clears, sunbelly, Yeah, get him 39 00:01:42,840 --> 00:01:44,959 Speaker 1: suned out about that. Josh Norman has to be all 40 00:01:45,319 --> 00:01:49,480 Speaker 1: all pumped up clears. I want to say, over So, 41 00:01:49,560 --> 00:01:52,480 Speaker 1: it was crazy watching Dad and watching watching baseball playout 42 00:01:52,480 --> 00:01:54,600 Speaker 1: in baseball, to me, is the only sport where it 43 00:01:54,640 --> 00:01:56,080 Speaker 1: doesn't matter what you do in a regular season, all 44 00:01:56,080 --> 00:01:57,840 Speaker 1: you trying to do is get in the tournament because 45 00:01:57,880 --> 00:02:00,440 Speaker 1: the team that gets hot is ultimately a couple of arms. 46 00:02:00,560 --> 00:02:03,160 Speaker 1: A couple of arms. Yeah, so maybe your padres can 47 00:02:03,200 --> 00:02:04,760 Speaker 1: get hot. No, I'll tell you what. We've been trading 48 00:02:04,800 --> 00:02:07,559 Speaker 1: some folks. We've got some good young prospects two thousand eighteen. Buck, 49 00:02:09,160 --> 00:02:12,640 Speaker 1: it's all headed towards Nobody wants to see us cop years. 50 00:02:14,600 --> 00:02:16,600 Speaker 1: You know you don't want to see it. Um on 51 00:02:16,680 --> 00:02:18,560 Speaker 1: today's show, Buck, it's good to be back. Kind of 52 00:02:18,560 --> 00:02:21,839 Speaker 1: just getting reacquainted here. I thought a couple of things 53 00:02:21,840 --> 00:02:23,160 Speaker 1: we could do. One of the things we're doing on 54 00:02:23,160 --> 00:02:27,160 Speaker 1: on Total Access today, UM is top five defensive players 55 00:02:27,160 --> 00:02:29,080 Speaker 1: in the league. So I had to put my little 56 00:02:29,080 --> 00:02:32,040 Speaker 1: top five lists together. Lamar would lease on there. Um 57 00:02:32,560 --> 00:02:34,000 Speaker 1: put his top five together, But I want to get 58 00:02:34,040 --> 00:02:35,880 Speaker 1: your top five as well. And then I want to 59 00:02:35,919 --> 00:02:37,480 Speaker 1: kind of go through these divisions. And there's been a 60 00:02:37,520 --> 00:02:39,040 Speaker 1: lot of hype on some of these teams, so I'm 61 00:02:39,080 --> 00:02:41,720 Speaker 1: gonna go through each division kind of give you that 62 00:02:41,080 --> 00:02:44,200 Speaker 1: uh that all hype team. The hype bunny, and see 63 00:02:44,200 --> 00:02:47,200 Speaker 1: if we're buying and we're selling that hype. All right. 64 00:02:48,160 --> 00:02:50,359 Speaker 1: First of all, though, the one thing I was most 65 00:02:50,400 --> 00:02:53,320 Speaker 1: excited about coming back here. Two great benefits working in 66 00:02:53,360 --> 00:02:55,480 Speaker 1: the NFL network is Number one, did they do your 67 00:02:55,560 --> 00:02:59,120 Speaker 1: laundry like? You're right? It's fantastic. You bring all you 68 00:02:59,120 --> 00:03:00,600 Speaker 1: just drop your clothes off and they come back and 69 00:03:00,600 --> 00:03:03,519 Speaker 1: they're hanging up in your locker. Number two is the haircut. 70 00:03:03,919 --> 00:03:06,120 Speaker 1: I'm had a haircut like all summer, Bucky, I'm dying. 71 00:03:06,400 --> 00:03:07,919 Speaker 1: So you got you got you get a ha. I 72 00:03:07,919 --> 00:03:09,520 Speaker 1: gotta get a haircut, So I got it. That's my 73 00:03:09,520 --> 00:03:13,040 Speaker 1: out in my agenda today. But let's go. Let's go 74 00:03:13,120 --> 00:03:15,760 Speaker 1: top five defensive players in the league. I'll rattle off mine. 75 00:03:16,120 --> 00:03:17,640 Speaker 1: You tell me who I'm missing, then give me your 76 00:03:17,639 --> 00:03:19,680 Speaker 1: top five and simil al right, I'm gonna go Number 77 00:03:19,680 --> 00:03:22,160 Speaker 1: one at J. J. Watt all right, he's the most 78 00:03:22,160 --> 00:03:25,240 Speaker 1: dominant disruptive player in the league on the defensive side 79 00:03:25,280 --> 00:03:30,440 Speaker 1: of the ball. Number two, I want Aaron Donald. I 80 00:03:30,520 --> 00:03:32,600 Speaker 1: like what he can do from the inside. Got it, 81 00:03:32,680 --> 00:03:35,120 Speaker 1: how he can get after you. Number three I went 82 00:03:35,240 --> 00:03:40,080 Speaker 1: Von Miller, all right, just got paid handsomely. Uh four. 83 00:03:40,680 --> 00:03:44,760 Speaker 1: Your guy, Khalil Mack. Oh okay, I got him at 84 00:03:44,840 --> 00:03:47,440 Speaker 1: number four. And then so you kind of see what 85 00:03:47,680 --> 00:03:49,680 Speaker 1: up my top four guys I'll get after the quarterbacks. 86 00:03:49,680 --> 00:03:51,840 Speaker 1: I don't have any corners in there. And at five 87 00:03:52,000 --> 00:03:54,560 Speaker 1: I toyed around with Patrick Peterson was in the mix 88 00:03:54,640 --> 00:03:56,520 Speaker 1: for me, but I ended up going with just a 89 00:03:56,520 --> 00:04:02,040 Speaker 1: personal favorite, Earl Thomas at number five. So no Keikley, Um, 90 00:04:02,240 --> 00:04:05,080 Speaker 1: no Patrick Peterson, Richard Sherman, that whole crew. A lot 91 00:04:05,080 --> 00:04:07,040 Speaker 1: of good players still out there, but that's who I 92 00:04:07,080 --> 00:04:09,040 Speaker 1: had in my in my top five. That's funny. I 93 00:04:09,040 --> 00:04:11,840 Speaker 1: think this will end up spawning a different conversation or 94 00:04:12,120 --> 00:04:14,839 Speaker 1: kind of a supplementary. You go all back, No, I went, 95 00:04:14,920 --> 00:04:16,760 Speaker 1: I went, um kind of with you. I had JJ 96 00:04:16,800 --> 00:04:20,360 Speaker 1: White at one, Von Miller was too, Aaron Donald was three. 97 00:04:20,400 --> 00:04:22,640 Speaker 1: So we just had those guys top. We agree those 98 00:04:22,680 --> 00:04:24,440 Speaker 1: the top three player. Those are the top three players. 99 00:04:24,440 --> 00:04:27,560 Speaker 1: Then my four was Luke Keickley Carolina Panthers. And in 100 00:04:27,720 --> 00:04:30,280 Speaker 1: five for me, I had to have at least a 101 00:04:30,320 --> 00:04:34,080 Speaker 1: cover corner. I put Richard Sherman in at five. Um, 102 00:04:34,160 --> 00:04:37,039 Speaker 1: Khalil Mack, I certainly I had him already had an 103 00:04:37,040 --> 00:04:39,640 Speaker 1: ash By his name in terms of the next like 104 00:04:39,680 --> 00:04:42,839 Speaker 1: the next set. He is so versatile, he is dominant 105 00:04:42,880 --> 00:04:45,039 Speaker 1: at a couple of different spots. I think you'll see 106 00:04:45,040 --> 00:04:48,280 Speaker 1: his dominants grow as he's surrounded by better players, and 107 00:04:48,320 --> 00:04:50,240 Speaker 1: I think this year is a year we will see 108 00:04:50,320 --> 00:04:53,200 Speaker 1: the The only thing that I will say is he 109 00:04:53,279 --> 00:04:56,080 Speaker 1: had fifteen sacks last year. Ten of those sacks occurred 110 00:04:56,120 --> 00:04:59,040 Speaker 1: in a four game span. We had five flurries, those 111 00:04:59,080 --> 00:05:01,960 Speaker 1: furies I and one gains the Denver Broncos, and then 112 00:05:01,960 --> 00:05:04,600 Speaker 1: he knocked out a couple of the teams. Um the 113 00:05:04,800 --> 00:05:07,120 Speaker 1: thing that coincided with his ability to dominate and get 114 00:05:07,160 --> 00:05:11,200 Speaker 1: after the quarterback, Mario Edwards Jr. Also Dominated during that time. 115 00:05:11,240 --> 00:05:12,719 Speaker 1: So it's one of our favorites on this When you 116 00:05:12,760 --> 00:05:14,920 Speaker 1: get a when you get a full season, when Mario 117 00:05:15,040 --> 00:05:17,440 Speaker 1: Edwards Junior, you get a side kid with Bruce Irvan, 118 00:05:17,520 --> 00:05:19,440 Speaker 1: and then you have all the smooth who cons back. 119 00:05:19,440 --> 00:05:22,800 Speaker 1: After week ten, you'll see Khalil Mack have a greater 120 00:05:22,920 --> 00:05:25,400 Speaker 1: impact because he should get more one on one opportunities. 121 00:05:25,400 --> 00:05:27,360 Speaker 1: We should help him. I had interesting talk with Woodley 122 00:05:27,440 --> 00:05:29,200 Speaker 1: yesterday in our meeting because we were talking about Khalil 123 00:05:29,240 --> 00:05:31,400 Speaker 1: mac and I said you know, one of the knocks, 124 00:05:31,400 --> 00:05:33,320 Speaker 1: and we've talked about it before. If you're trying to 125 00:05:33,320 --> 00:05:35,080 Speaker 1: find a criticism with clil Mack, it's hard, but one 126 00:05:35,080 --> 00:05:36,919 Speaker 1: of them is okay. A lot of times spent on 127 00:05:36,960 --> 00:05:40,600 Speaker 1: the left side rushing against right tackles, typically not as athletic, 128 00:05:40,640 --> 00:05:42,479 Speaker 1: not your premier pass protectors. You put those on the 129 00:05:42,520 --> 00:05:45,719 Speaker 1: left side. Woodley played on the left side, so he 130 00:05:45,760 --> 00:05:48,080 Speaker 1: had Harrison coming from the right and Woodley from the left. 131 00:05:48,120 --> 00:05:49,760 Speaker 1: So I said, how did that? You know, how did 132 00:05:49,760 --> 00:05:52,080 Speaker 1: you like that? Take that criticism when they said about you, 133 00:05:52,160 --> 00:05:54,520 Speaker 1: Harrison's rushing against left tackles, You're going against right tackles, 134 00:05:54,960 --> 00:05:57,720 Speaker 1: he said, I he he thought it was underrated on 135 00:05:57,760 --> 00:06:00,120 Speaker 1: the left side because you're on the front side out 136 00:06:00,160 --> 00:06:02,479 Speaker 1: of the quarterback. So he was saying, there's a lot 137 00:06:02,520 --> 00:06:04,800 Speaker 1: of times I I beat my man, I get home, 138 00:06:04,839 --> 00:06:06,920 Speaker 1: but he can see me, so he can get away, 139 00:06:06,920 --> 00:06:08,360 Speaker 1: he can climb up, he can get away from me. 140 00:06:08,400 --> 00:06:10,240 Speaker 1: He's looking at me. That's that's a good credit. So 141 00:06:10,440 --> 00:06:11,800 Speaker 1: it's an interesting way to look at the other side 142 00:06:11,800 --> 00:06:13,040 Speaker 1: of the argument. And now we look back to the 143 00:06:13,080 --> 00:06:16,200 Speaker 1: Super Bowl. Von Miller his sacks came from that left 144 00:06:16,400 --> 00:06:19,960 Speaker 1: even though cam Is in his absolution, Von Moller didn't 145 00:06:19,960 --> 00:06:21,680 Speaker 1: give enough time to so. But that but that is 146 00:06:21,800 --> 00:06:23,560 Speaker 1: the trick is funny. When I was in Carolina on 147 00:06:23,600 --> 00:06:25,600 Speaker 1: the John Fox. It's the thing that John Fox has 148 00:06:25,640 --> 00:06:27,760 Speaker 1: done for years. Take his best pass rusher and put 149 00:06:27,800 --> 00:06:29,800 Speaker 1: him at left defensive end. He did it in New 150 00:06:29,880 --> 00:06:31,479 Speaker 1: York when he had Michael Strahan. If you look at 151 00:06:31,520 --> 00:06:34,000 Speaker 1: Michael Strahan, the majority of his work always happened when 152 00:06:34,000 --> 00:06:36,719 Speaker 1: he was at left defensive end working against right tackles. 153 00:06:36,839 --> 00:06:39,560 Speaker 1: When he gets to Carolina, his first pick is Julius Peppers. 154 00:06:39,800 --> 00:06:42,720 Speaker 1: Julius Peppers is taken. They play some right at left 155 00:06:42,720 --> 00:06:46,279 Speaker 1: defensive end. He goes to Denver, same thing with von Miller. 156 00:06:46,360 --> 00:06:48,760 Speaker 1: Von Miller was playing sam lineback from him, but then 157 00:06:48,880 --> 00:06:51,600 Speaker 1: in past for situations he would play left defensive end. 158 00:06:51,880 --> 00:06:54,760 Speaker 1: And so to me, what is changing is not only 159 00:06:54,800 --> 00:06:57,680 Speaker 1: the philosophy of what you're doing on defense, but on offense. 160 00:06:58,200 --> 00:07:00,160 Speaker 1: That right tackle that we used to say is, oh, 161 00:07:00,200 --> 00:07:02,039 Speaker 1: this guy to be a right tackle, you need to 162 00:07:02,040 --> 00:07:05,080 Speaker 1: make sure that that right tackle has the same athleticism 163 00:07:05,120 --> 00:07:08,240 Speaker 1: that your left tackle has because he's now facing a 164 00:07:08,240 --> 00:07:11,000 Speaker 1: better level of talent coming at him. And if he's 165 00:07:11,040 --> 00:07:13,360 Speaker 1: not prepared. People are going to exploit that weakness. Also, 166 00:07:13,400 --> 00:07:14,960 Speaker 1: we look at J. J. Watt. A lot of his 167 00:07:15,040 --> 00:07:17,000 Speaker 1: sacks come on that side, no question, and why not? 168 00:07:17,200 --> 00:07:18,760 Speaker 1: Why not put him over there? And I almost think 169 00:07:18,800 --> 00:07:20,480 Speaker 1: in terms of the quarterback being able to see it, 170 00:07:20,560 --> 00:07:22,840 Speaker 1: it makes sense. On the back side, you think, oh, 171 00:07:22,840 --> 00:07:24,640 Speaker 1: it's great, you get those strip sacks. They can't see 172 00:07:24,640 --> 00:07:26,840 Speaker 1: you coming. You get the ball out when you get home. Also, 173 00:07:26,880 --> 00:07:29,520 Speaker 1: the open side, a lot of times offensive teams are 174 00:07:29,600 --> 00:07:32,320 Speaker 1: right handed. This tight ense is always working on that, 175 00:07:32,360 --> 00:07:34,440 Speaker 1: so you have open sizes. When you're the right defensive end, 176 00:07:34,440 --> 00:07:36,480 Speaker 1: you're facing the left tack He's rarely covered up with 177 00:07:36,520 --> 00:07:39,119 Speaker 1: the tight end. I mean, there's a yin and yang 178 00:07:39,120 --> 00:07:40,840 Speaker 1: to both of it, but it's one of the trends 179 00:07:40,840 --> 00:07:43,440 Speaker 1: that we are seeing that left defensive end is a 180 00:07:43,440 --> 00:07:45,520 Speaker 1: guy that is now not only a run stopper, but 181 00:07:45,560 --> 00:07:48,200 Speaker 1: he has the ability to get up get to the quarterback. Yeah. 182 00:07:48,320 --> 00:07:51,760 Speaker 1: The uh, the right tackles. I remember and when working 183 00:07:51,800 --> 00:07:53,880 Speaker 1: for the Ravens at the time, we had Jonathan Allen 184 00:07:53,920 --> 00:07:55,880 Speaker 1: a left tackle. We had Orlando Brown at right tackle, 185 00:07:56,440 --> 00:07:57,960 Speaker 1: and it was like, okay, well, the one thing we 186 00:07:58,000 --> 00:07:59,760 Speaker 1: knew jail could just be on an island by himself, 187 00:07:59,760 --> 00:08:02,240 Speaker 1: just of him alone. But I mean God put tight 188 00:08:02,320 --> 00:08:04,320 Speaker 1: ends and backs on this earth for a reason, and 189 00:08:04,360 --> 00:08:07,120 Speaker 1: that's to help write tackles. Yes, please don't leave those 190 00:08:07,200 --> 00:08:10,119 Speaker 1: dudes alone. No, it's funny, but I was impacted playing 191 00:08:10,120 --> 00:08:12,600 Speaker 1: in Jacksonville under Tom Coughlin. We had a luxure of 192 00:08:12,600 --> 00:08:15,840 Speaker 1: having Tony Boselli at left tackle, but then we had Leonard. Seriously, 193 00:08:15,840 --> 00:08:19,559 Speaker 1: you can play right tackles. So, um, what I'm learning, 194 00:08:19,560 --> 00:08:21,640 Speaker 1: what I lean to if we talk about building a team, 195 00:08:21,880 --> 00:08:24,720 Speaker 1: I would make sure that both of my tackles are legitimate, 196 00:08:25,000 --> 00:08:27,680 Speaker 1: premier guys, because when you have two legitimate guys, it 197 00:08:27,760 --> 00:08:29,360 Speaker 1: really frees you up to do a lot of different 198 00:08:29,360 --> 00:08:31,560 Speaker 1: things in terms of letting five receivers get out into 199 00:08:31,600 --> 00:08:33,480 Speaker 1: the route. All right, let's jump into these divisions here. 200 00:08:33,800 --> 00:08:35,720 Speaker 1: It's kind of funny. In the offseason, you have the draft, 201 00:08:35,760 --> 00:08:38,440 Speaker 1: you have free agency. Um, the hype just kind of 202 00:08:38,480 --> 00:08:40,600 Speaker 1: builds for one team. So let's go through the divisions 203 00:08:40,600 --> 00:08:42,600 Speaker 1: trying to identify who that hype team is in the 204 00:08:42,600 --> 00:08:44,439 Speaker 1: off season and say whether or not we're buying into it. 205 00:08:44,520 --> 00:08:49,199 Speaker 1: Let's go NFC East um Man Cowboys I would say 206 00:08:49,200 --> 00:08:50,880 Speaker 1: not really the hype team. I know ro almost coming back, 207 00:08:50,880 --> 00:08:55,200 Speaker 1: but all the guys suspended on defense. Now, um, Giants, Yes, 208 00:08:55,280 --> 00:08:57,200 Speaker 1: I think the Giants are that team Philly is. You know, 209 00:08:57,280 --> 00:08:59,719 Speaker 1: they're they're kind of building towards the future. Here first 210 00:08:59,800 --> 00:09:02,960 Speaker 1: round pick Carson Wentz gonna sit Washington. I don't know 211 00:09:03,000 --> 00:09:05,680 Speaker 1: Washington won it last year or something makes money because 212 00:09:05,679 --> 00:09:08,240 Speaker 1: people aren't really talking about it. I absolutely believe the Giants. 213 00:09:08,200 --> 00:09:10,319 Speaker 1: It has to be the Giants. The New York Giants 214 00:09:10,320 --> 00:09:12,400 Speaker 1: of the hype bunny. I think is actually warranted because 215 00:09:12,400 --> 00:09:15,040 Speaker 1: when I look at this team offensively, they have all 216 00:09:15,080 --> 00:09:17,120 Speaker 1: the weapons that you need have to have franchise quarterback 217 00:09:17,120 --> 00:09:19,600 Speaker 1: in place. They have wide receivers on the outside. Obviously 218 00:09:19,640 --> 00:09:21,800 Speaker 1: Odell Beckham Jr. You don't know what you can get 219 00:09:21,840 --> 00:09:23,760 Speaker 1: from Victor Cruz. But the guy who has really been 220 00:09:23,800 --> 00:09:26,040 Speaker 1: the hype bunny of the all season has been Shepherd. 221 00:09:26,080 --> 00:09:29,320 Speaker 1: That's already if Sterling Shepherd lives up to what the 222 00:09:29,400 --> 00:09:32,679 Speaker 1: reports have been from his performance in the off season. Offensively, 223 00:09:32,679 --> 00:09:34,679 Speaker 1: they certainly have enough to get it done. But then 224 00:09:34,760 --> 00:09:37,880 Speaker 1: defensively is where the hype centers from. Because they expended 225 00:09:37,920 --> 00:09:40,680 Speaker 1: a lot of money to help Steve Spagnola have the 226 00:09:40,720 --> 00:09:46,040 Speaker 1: resources to get after the quarterback Olivier Vernon Snacks Harrison upfront. Uh. 227 00:09:46,080 --> 00:09:48,400 Speaker 1: You think about what they were to Generous Jenkins coming 228 00:09:48,440 --> 00:09:51,480 Speaker 1: in drafted Eli Apple. This is the team that all 229 00:09:51,559 --> 00:09:54,240 Speaker 1: the hypers around them. I think it's warranted because I 230 00:09:54,240 --> 00:09:55,959 Speaker 1: believe this is going to be a really, really good team. 231 00:09:55,960 --> 00:09:57,520 Speaker 1: When I look at the division, I believe the Dallas 232 00:09:57,520 --> 00:09:59,960 Speaker 1: Cowboys come back to the pack because even though they 233 00:10:00,000 --> 00:10:03,079 Speaker 1: get Ezekiel Elliott, they lost all the past rushes to 234 00:10:03,160 --> 00:10:06,520 Speaker 1: suspension or letting great Hardy go. I think the Giants 235 00:10:06,600 --> 00:10:08,440 Speaker 1: are in a position to win the division. They have 236 00:10:08,480 --> 00:10:10,400 Speaker 1: to surpass the Washington Riskins, but I think they should 237 00:10:10,400 --> 00:10:12,319 Speaker 1: be there. Dan, I like Washington will get it. We'll 238 00:10:12,760 --> 00:10:14,240 Speaker 1: have plenty of time to do our predictions once we 239 00:10:14,280 --> 00:10:15,800 Speaker 1: get to the preseason. All that, I'll just give you 240 00:10:15,840 --> 00:10:20,199 Speaker 1: two two names that scare me to death, John Jerry 241 00:10:20,240 --> 00:10:24,320 Speaker 1: at right guard Marshall Newhouse at right that didn't make 242 00:10:24,360 --> 00:10:26,280 Speaker 1: me sleep well at night. Ball comes out. I'm not 243 00:10:26,320 --> 00:10:29,760 Speaker 1: I'm not buying. I'm not buying all the Giants. I understand. 244 00:10:30,080 --> 00:10:33,640 Speaker 1: I understand that those are are valid concerns, but the 245 00:10:33,679 --> 00:10:35,360 Speaker 1: ball comes out quick. If you look at how they 246 00:10:35,400 --> 00:10:38,079 Speaker 1: operate they've been operating under Ben McAdoo, it's a lot 247 00:10:38,080 --> 00:10:42,520 Speaker 1: of quick really basket slants, flats, ball comes out stick routes. Uh. 248 00:10:42,559 --> 00:10:45,200 Speaker 1: I think he won't see nearly as much pressure because 249 00:10:45,240 --> 00:10:47,040 Speaker 1: the ball will get there. He would get the ball 250 00:10:47,040 --> 00:10:48,320 Speaker 1: out before they can get close to get all right, 251 00:10:48,440 --> 00:10:50,760 Speaker 1: NFC North, it's not the Bears, it's not the Lions, 252 00:10:50,760 --> 00:10:53,079 Speaker 1: the Packers. You know, Aaron Rodgers gonna have bounce back here. 253 00:10:53,080 --> 00:10:55,200 Speaker 1: But I think Minnesota is kind of clearly. They won 254 00:10:55,240 --> 00:10:57,720 Speaker 1: it last year, and I think that's that whole buzz 255 00:10:57,800 --> 00:11:00,520 Speaker 1: new new building are they gonna kind of because the 256 00:11:00,559 --> 00:11:03,120 Speaker 1: buzz about them is not only when in the division, 257 00:11:03,160 --> 00:11:05,760 Speaker 1: are the legitimate Super Bowl contenders. I like the way 258 00:11:05,800 --> 00:11:08,040 Speaker 1: they built. They have a strong defense, young and athletic. 259 00:11:08,040 --> 00:11:10,480 Speaker 1: We've talked about all the young guys they've added in 260 00:11:10,480 --> 00:11:12,600 Speaker 1: the draft the last three or four years. Those guys 261 00:11:12,640 --> 00:11:15,440 Speaker 1: are kind of nearing their prime. Offensively, you still have 262 00:11:15,480 --> 00:11:18,160 Speaker 1: Adrian Peterson to build around. Obviously, the X factor to 263 00:11:18,200 --> 00:11:21,080 Speaker 1: me is Teddy Bridgewater. Can Teddy Bridgewater take the next 264 00:11:21,080 --> 00:11:23,320 Speaker 1: step to where they can depend on him to be 265 00:11:23,360 --> 00:11:26,400 Speaker 1: a guy that throws the ball thirty times and they 266 00:11:26,400 --> 00:11:30,559 Speaker 1: have success using that recipe. I gotta buy into them 267 00:11:30,559 --> 00:11:33,400 Speaker 1: because I think that defense is up to snow. I 268 00:11:33,400 --> 00:11:36,079 Speaker 1: mean they can play any style and really they should 269 00:11:36,080 --> 00:11:37,679 Speaker 1: have advanced in the playoffs because it was a game 270 00:11:37,679 --> 00:11:39,880 Speaker 1: where they outplayed the Seattle Seahawks but didn't get it done. 271 00:11:40,080 --> 00:11:41,920 Speaker 1: I mean, you can make a case there's better defenses 272 00:11:41,960 --> 00:11:43,480 Speaker 1: in the NFL. I don't know, you can make a 273 00:11:43,480 --> 00:11:47,200 Speaker 1: case there's a more balanced defense. All three levels impact 274 00:11:47,240 --> 00:11:50,480 Speaker 1: guys done. They've really done a great job of acquiring talent. 275 00:11:50,520 --> 00:11:53,200 Speaker 1: We haven't even really seen their first rounders coming to play. 276 00:11:53,200 --> 00:11:55,959 Speaker 1: In terms of Trey Waynes has to step up. Mckensie 277 00:11:55,960 --> 00:11:57,480 Speaker 1: Alexander was the second round pick, but he'll have an 278 00:11:57,520 --> 00:11:59,959 Speaker 1: opportunity to get in there. Harrison Smith is a star. 279 00:12:00,000 --> 00:12:02,600 Speaker 1: Are you talked about the front seven being loaded? They 280 00:12:02,640 --> 00:12:05,840 Speaker 1: have everything to get it done. But can they hold 281 00:12:05,880 --> 00:12:07,480 Speaker 1: off the green Bay package because you know they have 282 00:12:07,559 --> 00:12:09,120 Speaker 1: bounced back and have a better season than ahead of 283 00:12:09,120 --> 00:12:10,840 Speaker 1: a year ago. Tread will will be interesting to see 284 00:12:10,840 --> 00:12:12,439 Speaker 1: what he does there as well as a rookie on offense. 285 00:12:12,440 --> 00:12:16,560 Speaker 1: All Right, NFC South the hype team here, I mean 286 00:12:16,679 --> 00:12:18,920 Speaker 1: Tampa is gonna be better. Uh, second year there with 287 00:12:19,000 --> 00:12:21,000 Speaker 1: Jamis Winston. The Saints, I don't really see a lot 288 00:12:21,000 --> 00:12:22,880 Speaker 1: of hype about them. Carolina obviously coming off of the 289 00:12:22,880 --> 00:12:24,520 Speaker 1: Super Bowl. We can't say they're the hype because they 290 00:12:24,520 --> 00:12:27,000 Speaker 1: earned it. Atlanta, as seems they get a little bit 291 00:12:27,000 --> 00:12:28,680 Speaker 1: of buzz. You know, Atlanta is gonna bounce back. They 292 00:12:28,679 --> 00:12:30,200 Speaker 1: start off five and oh last year and kind of 293 00:12:30,360 --> 00:12:32,760 Speaker 1: fell apart. They were aggressive in the off season. I 294 00:12:33,120 --> 00:12:35,600 Speaker 1: guess i'd probably say Atlanta is getting the most hype 295 00:12:35,880 --> 00:12:37,400 Speaker 1: of these teams. Well, I think there's certainly on the 296 00:12:37,440 --> 00:12:40,240 Speaker 1: team on aer the scope in the microscope and the crosshairs. 297 00:12:40,480 --> 00:12:42,880 Speaker 1: Matt Ryan has to play better. A little disappointing year 298 00:12:42,920 --> 00:12:45,319 Speaker 1: from him in terms of the number of turnovers. You 299 00:12:45,360 --> 00:12:48,280 Speaker 1: expect him to offensive line was terrible. Yeah, you spect 300 00:12:48,320 --> 00:12:50,120 Speaker 1: him to play a little better. You also expect Kyle 301 00:12:50,160 --> 00:12:52,800 Speaker 1: Shanahan do a better job of kind of crafting that offense. 302 00:12:53,120 --> 00:12:56,120 Speaker 1: One thing that's interesting, as much as I love DeVonta Freeman, 303 00:12:56,600 --> 00:12:58,520 Speaker 1: Tevin Coleman needs to play a big role in this 304 00:12:58,559 --> 00:13:00,920 Speaker 1: and we're going into the season. Actually Tevin Coleman was 305 00:13:00,960 --> 00:13:03,439 Speaker 1: slated to be the starter. He actually started the first game, 306 00:13:03,559 --> 00:13:05,480 Speaker 1: had a pretty good game before he got hurt. That 307 00:13:05,640 --> 00:13:07,920 Speaker 1: opened the door for Freeman to take over. I believe 308 00:13:07,960 --> 00:13:09,880 Speaker 1: now they come back to being a two back system 309 00:13:09,960 --> 00:13:12,760 Speaker 1: that should balance out the offense. Mohammed Sannu is the 310 00:13:12,800 --> 00:13:15,040 Speaker 1: guy that has to step up. They need another player 311 00:13:15,320 --> 00:13:17,520 Speaker 1: in the passing game to be or a guy that 312 00:13:17,559 --> 00:13:20,400 Speaker 1: can be a significant contributor. If he is able to 313 00:13:20,400 --> 00:13:22,680 Speaker 1: step up and do something, then it helps that offense 314 00:13:22,720 --> 00:13:24,600 Speaker 1: become a little more balance in the passing game. I'm 315 00:13:24,640 --> 00:13:28,280 Speaker 1: with you. The pass rush still man. Vic Beasley led 316 00:13:28,360 --> 00:13:30,520 Speaker 1: them in sacks with four last year. Bigas has to 317 00:13:30,520 --> 00:13:33,120 Speaker 1: step up. He needs to be He's number one pick 318 00:13:33,200 --> 00:13:35,640 Speaker 1: in the second year is when we typically see guys 319 00:13:35,720 --> 00:13:37,480 Speaker 1: kind of make that big jump. He has to make 320 00:13:37,480 --> 00:13:41,000 Speaker 1: a big jump. In YouTube, NFC West, the hype, I mean, look, 321 00:13:41,000 --> 00:13:45,640 Speaker 1: the Cardinals have earned their reputation. Uh Seattle earned their reputation. 322 00:13:45,800 --> 00:13:48,520 Speaker 1: San Francisco. We everybody thinks he's gonna be terrible. The 323 00:13:48,640 --> 00:13:51,560 Speaker 1: Rams come in to l A. That's probably right now. 324 00:13:52,400 --> 00:13:54,080 Speaker 1: At some point the Rams have to be better than 325 00:13:54,120 --> 00:13:56,040 Speaker 1: a five club. They have to get over to hump 326 00:13:56,400 --> 00:13:58,800 Speaker 1: Um and talking to Todd Gurley, I saw him. He 327 00:13:58,840 --> 00:14:00,400 Speaker 1: was up at the opening for a little He talked 328 00:14:00,440 --> 00:14:04,199 Speaker 1: about the offense. He actually was waxing poetic about Case 329 00:14:04,280 --> 00:14:06,280 Speaker 1: Keenum and how the offense is differently. He's say on 330 00:14:06,360 --> 00:14:09,080 Speaker 1: Case Keenum over Jerry Goff. He just said that right 331 00:14:09,120 --> 00:14:12,160 Speaker 1: now at this stage, Case Keenum is obviously ahead of 332 00:14:12,280 --> 00:14:14,240 Speaker 1: Jerry Goff in terms of being gible to hand him 333 00:14:14,240 --> 00:14:17,160 Speaker 1: a bigger volume in the playbook, and also how the 334 00:14:17,200 --> 00:14:19,840 Speaker 1: defense attacks, because when Case Keenum is there, obviously Greg 335 00:14:19,880 --> 00:14:21,920 Speaker 1: Williams just throwing everything got him, He's able to get 336 00:14:21,920 --> 00:14:23,920 Speaker 1: the ball out. With Jared Goff, there are lots of 337 00:14:23,960 --> 00:14:26,960 Speaker 1: digest lots of digestion. So you have to make a 338 00:14:26,960 --> 00:14:29,200 Speaker 1: decision if you're Jeff Fisher, are you willing to start 339 00:14:29,200 --> 00:14:31,080 Speaker 1: at Case Keenum and kind of roll into the season 340 00:14:31,360 --> 00:14:33,760 Speaker 1: having more available to your offense, or do you want 341 00:14:33,760 --> 00:14:35,960 Speaker 1: to play the young guy, knowing that the young guy 342 00:14:36,040 --> 00:14:38,320 Speaker 1: is probably going to restrict some of the stuff that 343 00:14:38,360 --> 00:14:40,640 Speaker 1: you can do, and are you good enough at other 344 00:14:40,720 --> 00:14:43,720 Speaker 1: places to win in spite of the quarterback as opposed 345 00:14:43,720 --> 00:14:46,000 Speaker 1: to the quarterback being a man contributor. Yeah, this to 346 00:14:46,080 --> 00:14:49,200 Speaker 1: me almost I don't know. It feels a little bit 347 00:14:49,280 --> 00:14:51,600 Speaker 1: like remember when Pittsburgh had Tommy Maddox and then they 348 00:14:51,680 --> 00:14:54,000 Speaker 1: drafted Roethlisberger, and Maddox was a guy, and we knocked 349 00:14:54,080 --> 00:14:55,680 Speaker 1: him out in Baltimore was probably the worst thing that 350 00:14:55,680 --> 00:14:58,000 Speaker 1: we ever did because Big Band jumps in and so 351 00:14:58,040 --> 00:14:59,800 Speaker 1: then Big Ben jumps in, and it was like, okay, 352 00:14:59,800 --> 00:15:01,240 Speaker 1: so little bit early for him, but we're gonna try 353 00:15:01,280 --> 00:15:03,800 Speaker 1: and work around his his inexperience in his youth, and 354 00:15:03,800 --> 00:15:06,240 Speaker 1: they made it work. I could see a similar situation 355 00:15:06,240 --> 00:15:08,160 Speaker 1: where maybe Keenum starts a couple of games and then 356 00:15:08,200 --> 00:15:09,960 Speaker 1: and he gets the hook and I think Jared Goff 357 00:15:10,040 --> 00:15:11,680 Speaker 1: ends up starting the bulk of the games this year 358 00:15:11,840 --> 00:15:13,440 Speaker 1: and they can work around it. I still think they're 359 00:15:13,480 --> 00:15:15,600 Speaker 1: gonna be a I think they're kind of that seven 360 00:15:15,640 --> 00:15:19,080 Speaker 1: eight win team. I just think that's unfortunately for them. 361 00:15:19,080 --> 00:15:21,239 Speaker 1: They play in a division with really really good defloated 362 00:15:21,480 --> 00:15:23,560 Speaker 1: and so when you have to deal with Arizona Cardinals twice, 363 00:15:23,560 --> 00:15:25,360 Speaker 1: you have to do with a Seattle Seahawks twice, it's 364 00:15:25,360 --> 00:15:27,440 Speaker 1: gonna be hard for a young quarterback to be able 365 00:15:27,480 --> 00:15:29,840 Speaker 1: to just kind of take checkdowns and not make plays 366 00:15:29,840 --> 00:15:32,920 Speaker 1: and win games. And so unless Tied Girl is able 367 00:15:32,960 --> 00:15:35,360 Speaker 1: to be Superman in the backfield where he can be 368 00:15:35,440 --> 00:15:38,920 Speaker 1: a guy that gets rushing yards. It's gonna be hard 369 00:15:38,960 --> 00:15:41,440 Speaker 1: for the Ramps to win with a young quarterback, despite 370 00:15:41,440 --> 00:15:43,120 Speaker 1: all the little weapons that they have on the outside 371 00:15:43,160 --> 00:15:45,480 Speaker 1: table on Austin and others, a FC east Buck. The 372 00:15:45,560 --> 00:15:50,640 Speaker 1: hype team, uh, you know, Dolphins, Bills, Pats, Jets, man, 373 00:15:50,680 --> 00:15:52,760 Speaker 1: I mean the Jets. We don't even with the quarterback situation. 374 00:15:52,800 --> 00:15:54,360 Speaker 1: I don't know they're getting all that much hype. Are 375 00:15:54,400 --> 00:15:57,680 Speaker 1: they know they're not? You know, Bills bounce back. I 376 00:15:57,680 --> 00:15:59,320 Speaker 1: don't know who's getting the hype in this division. The 377 00:15:59,320 --> 00:16:01,160 Speaker 1: thing about the US, I think the hype has to 378 00:16:01,200 --> 00:16:03,640 Speaker 1: sit around the Jet because of the quarterback. I think 379 00:16:03,720 --> 00:16:06,560 Speaker 1: we've kind of made Ryan Fitzpatrick a martyr and R 380 00:16:06,680 --> 00:16:10,520 Speaker 1: Fitzpatrick is now evidently a dude that he is a 381 00:16:10,720 --> 00:16:13,600 Speaker 1: must have for all chess fans, and I think we're 382 00:16:13,640 --> 00:16:15,760 Speaker 1: kind of missing like he is what he is. He's 383 00:16:15,760 --> 00:16:18,080 Speaker 1: a career journalman. He can get you through some games, 384 00:16:18,360 --> 00:16:20,840 Speaker 1: but when you put it on him, ultimately he will 385 00:16:20,920 --> 00:16:24,040 Speaker 1: let you down. And I look, maybe I'm a little 386 00:16:24,320 --> 00:16:27,240 Speaker 1: too firmly in the Geno Smith corner when it comes 387 00:16:27,240 --> 00:16:29,200 Speaker 1: to he and Ryan Fitzpatrick. I really don't see that 388 00:16:29,240 --> 00:16:31,720 Speaker 1: big of a difference. So if they played Gino, I 389 00:16:31,760 --> 00:16:34,280 Speaker 1: think Gino would have a better supporting cast than he's had, 390 00:16:34,480 --> 00:16:36,440 Speaker 1: and I think he would deliver the same results that 391 00:16:36,520 --> 00:16:39,720 Speaker 1: Ryan Fitzpatrick would deliver. So I know it's been a 392 00:16:39,720 --> 00:16:41,600 Speaker 1: big deal, is a big issue. We have to get 393 00:16:41,680 --> 00:16:44,840 Speaker 1: him sign but I think Ryan Fitzpatrick is ultimately going 394 00:16:44,880 --> 00:16:47,320 Speaker 1: to disappoint you if you just starting quarterback trying to 395 00:16:47,320 --> 00:16:49,359 Speaker 1: find it. I think I can find my Ryan Fitzpatrick 396 00:16:49,440 --> 00:16:52,760 Speaker 1: report here. Um you know here, here's a question for you. 397 00:16:52,840 --> 00:16:54,400 Speaker 1: Oh I found it. I found it. Okay, when we 398 00:16:54,440 --> 00:16:56,560 Speaker 1: give you the last line of my heart, my uh 399 00:16:56,680 --> 00:17:01,000 Speaker 1: Harvard quarterback Ryan Fitzpatrick. Over All, this is a smart, 400 00:17:01,080 --> 00:17:03,920 Speaker 1: tough competitor who can manage football games. I just questioned 401 00:17:04,000 --> 00:17:06,960 Speaker 1: whether or not he is has already kept his talent. 402 00:17:07,320 --> 00:17:10,320 Speaker 1: He should be a solid backup. I mean, I think 403 00:17:10,320 --> 00:17:12,359 Speaker 1: that's what he is. So I think that's what he 404 00:17:12,400 --> 00:17:14,120 Speaker 1: and I think they're trying to pay him as such 405 00:17:14,160 --> 00:17:17,400 Speaker 1: because they realize and recognize what he is. So anyways, look, 406 00:17:17,400 --> 00:17:19,280 Speaker 1: he had a good year last year. Everything kind of 407 00:17:19,320 --> 00:17:21,080 Speaker 1: went their way. But I don't they're not They're not 408 00:17:21,119 --> 00:17:23,040 Speaker 1: budgeing there you know, it's a game of chicken. They're 409 00:17:23,040 --> 00:17:25,879 Speaker 1: not they're not. They're not weaving here. Um, all right, 410 00:17:25,960 --> 00:17:27,679 Speaker 1: let's go to the next division here we did the 411 00:17:27,800 --> 00:17:29,760 Speaker 1: NFS or when the a f C. Let's go to 412 00:17:29,760 --> 00:17:32,800 Speaker 1: the a f C North. The buzz team in the 413 00:17:32,840 --> 00:17:34,719 Speaker 1: a f C North, not the Ravens coming off a 414 00:17:34,720 --> 00:17:38,119 Speaker 1: bad year. Sometime they think their officers is gonna be outstanding. 415 00:17:38,160 --> 00:17:41,920 Speaker 1: Maybe I'm not buying that. The Bengals, the Browns, the Steelers. 416 00:17:41,920 --> 00:17:44,119 Speaker 1: I would say still the Steelers, even though you know, 417 00:17:44,160 --> 00:17:46,840 Speaker 1: I think has a Super Bowl contended. That's been a 418 00:17:46,840 --> 00:17:49,960 Speaker 1: lot of the conversations. Explosive offense in the league. Lean 419 00:17:50,040 --> 00:17:52,760 Speaker 1: Bell can come back, coming back, the receiver corps with 420 00:17:53,080 --> 00:17:56,880 Speaker 1: Antonio Brown, Marcus Weeden stepping in who replaces Martavis Brown. 421 00:17:56,960 --> 00:17:58,720 Speaker 1: But has been a lot of positive buzz about Sammy 422 00:17:58,760 --> 00:18:00,680 Speaker 1: Coats in the off season what he was able to do. 423 00:18:01,200 --> 00:18:03,680 Speaker 1: The big thing for them will really sit around their health. 424 00:18:03,720 --> 00:18:05,199 Speaker 1: If they can keep Big Ben healthy, if they can 425 00:18:05,240 --> 00:18:08,040 Speaker 1: keep Levy and Bill healthy. It is a tough offense 426 00:18:08,080 --> 00:18:10,440 Speaker 1: to kind of deal with because they're balancing explosive in 427 00:18:10,480 --> 00:18:13,600 Speaker 1: all areas. Running game is explosive, Passing game is dynamic 428 00:18:13,760 --> 00:18:17,240 Speaker 1: when Antonio Brown leading away. If they can just kind 429 00:18:17,240 --> 00:18:19,240 Speaker 1: of continue to stay solid on defense, they're gonna be 430 00:18:19,240 --> 00:18:20,520 Speaker 1: a team that we have to talk about it then, 431 00:18:20,720 --> 00:18:22,760 Speaker 1: way way early here we're not being held to this 432 00:18:23,520 --> 00:18:27,360 Speaker 1: Steelers and Bengals who we like. I'm gonna go Disteelers 433 00:18:27,400 --> 00:18:30,600 Speaker 1: over the Bengals. I think the Hugh Jackson subtraction is 434 00:18:30,680 --> 00:18:32,480 Speaker 1: huge for the Bengals. He did such a good job 435 00:18:32,520 --> 00:18:34,400 Speaker 1: with Andy Dalton, the kind of masking him and put 436 00:18:34,480 --> 00:18:36,640 Speaker 1: him in the offense that play to his strength. They're 437 00:18:36,680 --> 00:18:38,200 Speaker 1: going to miss that. And I think the steel is 438 00:18:38,240 --> 00:18:41,160 Speaker 1: a so explosive one offense that day they're gonna throw 439 00:18:41,200 --> 00:18:42,880 Speaker 1: the ball over Yeard, just score a ton of points. Yeah, 440 00:18:42,920 --> 00:18:44,920 Speaker 1: I'm with you on that. It's old habits, die hard. 441 00:18:44,960 --> 00:18:47,119 Speaker 1: I just m in on the Steelers there, all right, 442 00:18:47,200 --> 00:18:50,120 Speaker 1: let's go a f C South. The hype team. There's 443 00:18:50,119 --> 00:18:52,280 Speaker 1: a couple of them because Houston with with what they've 444 00:18:52,280 --> 00:18:54,919 Speaker 1: done in the off season getting Osweiler. But to me, 445 00:18:54,960 --> 00:18:56,879 Speaker 1: I think even more so than them, the Jags have 446 00:18:56,960 --> 00:18:59,480 Speaker 1: been everyone. Everyone is buying on the Jaguars, and I'm 447 00:18:59,680 --> 00:19:02,680 Speaker 1: whole thing off on buying in because so many young 448 00:19:02,720 --> 00:19:06,400 Speaker 1: guys so many moving parts on the defense, I don't 449 00:19:06,480 --> 00:19:09,040 Speaker 1: know if you can remake a defense that quickly and 450 00:19:09,080 --> 00:19:11,199 Speaker 1: go from being one of the worst defenses to a 451 00:19:11,240 --> 00:19:14,240 Speaker 1: middle to pack or a great defense. Um, you depend 452 00:19:14,280 --> 00:19:16,880 Speaker 1: on a lot of young guys Jalen Ramsey, uh Dat 453 00:19:17,040 --> 00:19:19,560 Speaker 1: Fowler coming in off the Andrew Miles Jack whatever role. 454 00:19:19,840 --> 00:19:22,639 Speaker 1: Here is a question can they be good enough? And 455 00:19:22,680 --> 00:19:27,719 Speaker 1: then on offense, you're still worrying about Blake Bortles. Can 456 00:19:27,760 --> 00:19:29,919 Speaker 1: you get it done well? The whole thing with Blake Bortles. 457 00:19:29,960 --> 00:19:32,280 Speaker 1: The you know, the stats are out there, you can 458 00:19:32,280 --> 00:19:33,840 Speaker 1: find them. You can look them up. About a lot 459 00:19:33,840 --> 00:19:37,520 Speaker 1: of the yards and touchdowns coming the garbage points, garbage 460 00:19:37,600 --> 00:19:39,720 Speaker 1: yards in the fourth quarter. There you go, garbage yards. 461 00:19:39,760 --> 00:19:42,720 Speaker 1: So there's there's that criticism. Now. My thing is people 462 00:19:42,800 --> 00:19:45,040 Speaker 1: talk about, oh, statistically, what can we expect from these guys, 463 00:19:45,040 --> 00:19:47,680 Speaker 1: And really, if you're the Jags, you're almost hoping that 464 00:19:47,760 --> 00:19:49,840 Speaker 1: the offensive numbers kind of come down a little bit 465 00:19:49,840 --> 00:19:51,840 Speaker 1: because you're not having to spend that time chasing points 466 00:19:51,840 --> 00:19:53,520 Speaker 1: because your defense is keeping you in the game. You 467 00:19:53,560 --> 00:19:56,240 Speaker 1: can be a little bit more conservative, protect the football 468 00:19:56,320 --> 00:19:59,040 Speaker 1: and win some closer football games here, So to me 469 00:19:59,359 --> 00:20:01,400 Speaker 1: as much as there. He talks about the the improved 470 00:20:01,400 --> 00:20:03,720 Speaker 1: defense and they say, oh, this improved defense is gonna 471 00:20:03,760 --> 00:20:05,520 Speaker 1: take this offense to another level. No, No No, I think 472 00:20:05,560 --> 00:20:07,560 Speaker 1: this improved defense is gonna take some of the pressure 473 00:20:07,600 --> 00:20:09,440 Speaker 1: off of that offense and they won't have to try 474 00:20:09,440 --> 00:20:12,600 Speaker 1: and do all that well. Hopefully, um with the offense, 475 00:20:12,640 --> 00:20:15,439 Speaker 1: they can kind of play situational football, complimentary football, as 476 00:20:15,480 --> 00:20:17,960 Speaker 1: we say, Uh, Chris Iby comes over a couple backs, 477 00:20:17,960 --> 00:20:20,080 Speaker 1: maybe they can grind it, he in j yelled, And 478 00:20:20,160 --> 00:20:22,000 Speaker 1: they can do it. They can be a little more 479 00:20:22,160 --> 00:20:26,040 Speaker 1: conservative on offense in terms of how they passed and 480 00:20:26,040 --> 00:20:27,960 Speaker 1: play boards has to take care of the ball. What 481 00:20:28,080 --> 00:20:30,800 Speaker 1: I worry about with him are the turnovers and forcing 482 00:20:30,840 --> 00:20:32,359 Speaker 1: the defense to get back on the field. If you 483 00:20:32,400 --> 00:20:35,159 Speaker 1: can play still push the envelope, but still kind of 484 00:20:35,160 --> 00:20:37,440 Speaker 1: skill a bag more like a game manager, I think 485 00:20:37,440 --> 00:20:39,879 Speaker 1: they can be fine. That defense has to play a 486 00:20:40,320 --> 00:20:42,399 Speaker 1: lot of pressure on them to get a defense right. So, 487 00:20:42,760 --> 00:20:45,120 Speaker 1: like you said, it's so many new faces and new 488 00:20:45,119 --> 00:20:47,880 Speaker 1: pieces there on that defense might be asking a lot 489 00:20:47,880 --> 00:20:49,600 Speaker 1: for them to jail just right off. To me, the 490 00:20:49,600 --> 00:20:52,960 Speaker 1: team to watch really the Tennessee Titans, and it's tough 491 00:20:53,000 --> 00:20:55,640 Speaker 1: to go all in. I know, um Mike Malarkey takes over, 492 00:20:55,680 --> 00:20:57,440 Speaker 1: he was then interim coach last year, kind of took 493 00:20:57,440 --> 00:21:00,680 Speaker 1: over afterday dumps Ken Whizzing Hunt. But I like how 494 00:21:00,680 --> 00:21:02,879 Speaker 1: they've been building a team. John Robinson has done a 495 00:21:02,920 --> 00:21:06,280 Speaker 1: really really good job in the offseason acquiring talent, acquiring 496 00:21:06,320 --> 00:21:09,280 Speaker 1: young players. The defense was okay last year it was 497 00:21:09,320 --> 00:21:11,639 Speaker 1: it was kind of sneaky. If they can run the ball, 498 00:21:11,720 --> 00:21:14,520 Speaker 1: and that's why it will be interesting to see what 499 00:21:14,840 --> 00:21:17,560 Speaker 1: DeMarco Murray and Derry Henry are able to do as 500 00:21:17,600 --> 00:21:19,760 Speaker 1: a big body tandem in the back. And they can 501 00:21:19,840 --> 00:21:22,239 Speaker 1: run the football and kinda find a way to get 502 00:21:22,359 --> 00:21:24,560 Speaker 1: D G B on the field and make some plays. 503 00:21:24,600 --> 00:21:26,800 Speaker 1: This could be a team that wins eight or nine games, 504 00:21:26,840 --> 00:21:29,320 Speaker 1: I think in Malarkey's first full season as a head coach. 505 00:21:29,400 --> 00:21:32,520 Speaker 1: See it's funny when I look at this division and 506 00:21:32,800 --> 00:21:35,400 Speaker 1: the team that nobody will talk about is a team 507 00:21:35,400 --> 00:21:40,160 Speaker 1: that has owned this division last year. Quarterback gets hurt. 508 00:21:40,720 --> 00:21:42,919 Speaker 1: He wasn't playing well before that. We've we've discussed that 509 00:21:42,920 --> 00:21:45,320 Speaker 1: in the past, but I just think when I stack 510 00:21:45,400 --> 00:21:47,720 Speaker 1: him up in that division, I like Marcus Mariota is 511 00:21:47,720 --> 00:21:50,919 Speaker 1: a young developmental quarterback. Blake Bortles has has some tools 512 00:21:50,960 --> 00:21:53,840 Speaker 1: you can work with. Osweiler showed some good things. Andrew 513 00:21:53,920 --> 00:21:56,280 Speaker 1: Luck when he's healthy and right, is on another planet 514 00:21:56,280 --> 00:21:58,639 Speaker 1: than those he is. What I worry about with the 515 00:21:58,680 --> 00:22:02,080 Speaker 1: Colts the support. Is the supporting cast good enough to 516 00:22:02,119 --> 00:22:05,240 Speaker 1: help Andrew Luck be what we all expect him to be? 517 00:22:05,720 --> 00:22:08,840 Speaker 1: Um t Y Hilton is there? Good player? Uh kind 518 00:22:08,880 --> 00:22:12,280 Speaker 1: of disappeared obviously with a quarterback situation last year. Can 519 00:22:12,320 --> 00:22:15,280 Speaker 1: they find a running game? The running game? The lack 520 00:22:15,280 --> 00:22:17,280 Speaker 1: of a running game has put so much pressure on 521 00:22:17,320 --> 00:22:20,000 Speaker 1: Andrew Luck to kind of carry the offense on his 522 00:22:20,040 --> 00:22:22,160 Speaker 1: own accord. They need to be able to discover running 523 00:22:22,200 --> 00:22:23,760 Speaker 1: game because the running game can mask some of the 524 00:22:23,800 --> 00:22:25,840 Speaker 1: flaws and deficiency they have on the defense of the ball. 525 00:22:25,960 --> 00:22:27,280 Speaker 1: Last time, go go ahead and give you, like if 526 00:22:27,280 --> 00:22:28,840 Speaker 1: you're a fantasy football guy out there and you got 527 00:22:28,880 --> 00:22:31,000 Speaker 1: your draft coming up, and give you my sleeper. Oh, Josh, 528 00:22:31,080 --> 00:22:33,639 Speaker 1: Josh Ferguson's stick with Josh Ferguson, man gonna be a 529 00:22:33,720 --> 00:22:36,440 Speaker 1: late pick. Trust me stash away this team with Ryan 530 00:22:36,520 --> 00:22:39,600 Speaker 1: Kelly and drafted him Better's gonna help their offensive line 531 00:22:39,640 --> 00:22:41,440 Speaker 1: up front in the middle of the Raven Clark's gonna 532 00:22:41,480 --> 00:22:44,119 Speaker 1: compete for a tackle spot. Joe Hay could play guard 533 00:22:44,119 --> 00:22:45,919 Speaker 1: for them. They they've got three young guys they can 534 00:22:45,960 --> 00:22:47,879 Speaker 1: at least rotate through the mix, with Kelly being a 535 00:22:47,960 --> 00:22:51,080 Speaker 1: Day one starter, Kelly next to Mewhort and Castanza on 536 00:22:51,119 --> 00:22:52,760 Speaker 1: that left side. I think you can run that way 537 00:22:52,760 --> 00:22:55,080 Speaker 1: a little bit. And I think you know, at some 538 00:22:55,119 --> 00:22:58,480 Speaker 1: point in time, Frank Gore can't do it anymore. So 539 00:22:59,000 --> 00:23:01,320 Speaker 1: Josh Ferguson to me, undrafted Rickie free and just file 540 00:23:01,400 --> 00:23:04,480 Speaker 1: that one away. I like that. You're in fantasy, a 541 00:23:04,520 --> 00:23:06,119 Speaker 1: little drop, a little fantasy, and all right, we've got 542 00:23:06,160 --> 00:23:10,000 Speaker 1: one more division here, a f C West. The hype 543 00:23:10,040 --> 00:23:16,320 Speaker 1: team without question, the Oaklanders for sure. Oh that they 544 00:23:16,359 --> 00:23:18,639 Speaker 1: did in the off season, I'm all in. I'm all in, 545 00:23:18,680 --> 00:23:20,840 Speaker 1: and I'm all in because I believe the defense is 546 00:23:20,880 --> 00:23:23,879 Speaker 1: gonna be significantly better. Uh. We previously talked about how 547 00:23:23,920 --> 00:23:27,240 Speaker 1: they surrounded Khalil Mac with the right pieces upfront. UH, 548 00:23:27,320 --> 00:23:31,080 Speaker 1: Mario Edwards Jr. Bruce Irvin coming over, Autin Smith being 549 00:23:31,119 --> 00:23:33,399 Speaker 1: resigned and he will come back after he serves his suspension. 550 00:23:33,680 --> 00:23:36,160 Speaker 1: Khalil Max should be a dominant player. The thing that 551 00:23:36,280 --> 00:23:38,520 Speaker 1: we will want to see from him, is can he 552 00:23:38,640 --> 00:23:42,200 Speaker 1: completely take over the game as we talked about a J. J. Watt. 553 00:23:42,200 --> 00:23:44,639 Speaker 1: We've seen the flashes, but can he do it on 554 00:23:44,680 --> 00:23:47,080 Speaker 1: a weekend week out? Basically because if he says the 555 00:23:47,119 --> 00:23:50,160 Speaker 1: table like he's shown flashes of being able to set 556 00:23:50,200 --> 00:23:52,960 Speaker 1: the table, that defense can be a top five defense. 557 00:23:53,160 --> 00:23:54,840 Speaker 1: They have to make sure that they're solid in the 558 00:23:54,920 --> 00:23:58,439 Speaker 1: back end. Getting Shawn Smith was a huge get from 559 00:23:58,520 --> 00:24:01,720 Speaker 1: Kansas City. He's a lockdown on one side. Having someone 560 00:24:01,760 --> 00:24:03,600 Speaker 1: emerged on the other side would be good will. D J. 561 00:24:03,720 --> 00:24:07,160 Speaker 1: Hayden eventually be a guy that contribute. And then in 562 00:24:07,200 --> 00:24:09,680 Speaker 1: the secondary Carled Joseph one of your favorite players in 563 00:24:09,720 --> 00:24:13,800 Speaker 1: the draft. David Amerson just got paid some screw nice money. 564 00:24:13,880 --> 00:24:16,639 Speaker 1: Nice money, huh, and then Reggie Nelson. So they have 565 00:24:16,680 --> 00:24:18,440 Speaker 1: a lot of sneaky side is it? On offense? I 566 00:24:18,480 --> 00:24:20,359 Speaker 1: think they've done a great job of fort to find 567 00:24:20,359 --> 00:24:23,240 Speaker 1: an offensive line. They're gonna be physical. Um, no matter 568 00:24:23,280 --> 00:24:24,959 Speaker 1: what you think about Lettavia's Murray. If he can give 569 00:24:25,000 --> 00:24:27,640 Speaker 1: them two hundred yards on the ground to provide them 570 00:24:27,720 --> 00:24:30,080 Speaker 1: the balance of Derek car can find a Marie Cooper 571 00:24:30,280 --> 00:24:33,760 Speaker 1: and Michael Krapt On paper, this seems ready to go. 572 00:24:33,880 --> 00:24:35,840 Speaker 1: I'm going back and looking. I don't have my report here, 573 00:24:35,880 --> 00:24:39,120 Speaker 1: but David Amerson I gave him a sixty one, which 574 00:24:39,160 --> 00:24:43,520 Speaker 1: is like I liked got got Oh. I remember that 575 00:24:43,720 --> 00:24:47,920 Speaker 1: they took their turns, but I liked him in NC 576 00:24:48,000 --> 00:24:50,000 Speaker 1: State the year before he came out, he had had 577 00:24:50,040 --> 00:24:53,160 Speaker 1: like eight or nine picks on crazy number of interceptions. 578 00:24:53,200 --> 00:24:54,919 Speaker 1: He is a guy that is finally playing in the 579 00:24:54,960 --> 00:24:56,920 Speaker 1: system that I think plays to his strength. He can 580 00:24:56,920 --> 00:24:58,720 Speaker 1: sit off, he can play, he can play vision on 581 00:24:58,760 --> 00:25:01,440 Speaker 1: the quarterback. He's and ideals on the corner. He could 582 00:25:01,480 --> 00:25:03,919 Speaker 1: do some things and press and all that, but he 583 00:25:04,080 --> 00:25:05,760 Speaker 1: is going to make his plays when he's able to 584 00:25:05,800 --> 00:25:07,440 Speaker 1: sit and read the quarterback because that's what he was 585 00:25:07,480 --> 00:25:09,600 Speaker 1: able to do at NC State. Made a ton of 586 00:25:09,600 --> 00:25:12,040 Speaker 1: players off tips and overthrows. He can do the same 587 00:25:12,080 --> 00:25:15,040 Speaker 1: because the pass rush upfront is gonna force the ball 588 00:25:15,080 --> 00:25:16,480 Speaker 1: to come out quick and may force it to come 589 00:25:16,480 --> 00:25:19,200 Speaker 1: out errant. He can he can snack those those interceptions 590 00:25:19,200 --> 00:25:21,040 Speaker 1: off those plays. The two key players on this defense, 591 00:25:21,040 --> 00:25:22,639 Speaker 1: all that they've added and all that, I get it, 592 00:25:22,680 --> 00:25:25,720 Speaker 1: But to me touch on Mar Widwards Jr. Staying healthy, 593 00:25:25,880 --> 00:25:27,640 Speaker 1: the impact he'll have with clear mac and everybody else 594 00:25:27,720 --> 00:25:29,800 Speaker 1: up front. He's huge. And then you touch on Karl 595 00:25:29,920 --> 00:25:32,000 Speaker 1: Joseph the rookie, if they get if they get some 596 00:25:32,000 --> 00:25:33,880 Speaker 1: playmaking out of him at that spot, which he did 597 00:25:33,880 --> 00:25:36,400 Speaker 1: now when he was healthy, West Virginia flying all over quickly. 598 00:25:36,480 --> 00:25:37,960 Speaker 1: Will he be able to get into the lineup? But 599 00:25:38,000 --> 00:25:40,280 Speaker 1: what can he do? But even guys without him, Reggie 600 00:25:40,320 --> 00:25:42,400 Speaker 1: Nelson being in the middle field, it kind of flewing 601 00:25:42,440 --> 00:25:46,159 Speaker 1: into radar death signing. He'll give them that leadership. You 602 00:25:46,160 --> 00:25:48,120 Speaker 1: also give him some playmaking right down the middle. They'll 603 00:25:48,119 --> 00:25:49,760 Speaker 1: smack you too if you come across the middle. I'm 604 00:25:49,760 --> 00:25:51,520 Speaker 1: not afraid to do that. All right, Buck, That was 605 00:25:51,600 --> 00:25:53,479 Speaker 1: a That was a fun get back together episode. Here, 606 00:25:53,560 --> 00:25:56,760 Speaker 1: trust me, this is gonna be a more regular podcaster. 607 00:25:56,920 --> 00:25:58,879 Speaker 1: We've had our break. Now let's let's jump back in 608 00:25:58,960 --> 00:26:01,919 Speaker 1: timecrats back on the opening. Oh yeah, you want to 609 00:26:01,920 --> 00:26:04,320 Speaker 1: get it. He won the second year in a row, 610 00:26:04,520 --> 00:26:06,840 Speaker 1: not a second in a row. Um, we've been to 611 00:26:06,840 --> 00:26:09,680 Speaker 1: the championship three times in the last four years. We 612 00:26:09,760 --> 00:26:12,320 Speaker 1: won two of those. Uh, we're back. But let me 613 00:26:12,320 --> 00:26:15,320 Speaker 1: tell you man like he won with basically the future 614 00:26:15,359 --> 00:26:17,679 Speaker 1: of Bama. No you right, I mean Baman. So what 615 00:26:17,720 --> 00:26:21,879 Speaker 1: we did, which was which I did. Have Nagier Yeah, 616 00:26:23,240 --> 00:26:29,280 Speaker 1: hopefully hopefully cam Akers. Then at wide receiver man, we 617 00:26:29,359 --> 00:26:32,800 Speaker 1: had some dudes, Uh, Terrell Shavers who was a big 618 00:26:32,840 --> 00:26:36,800 Speaker 1: time dude who was kind of like a Jones Alabama. Yeah, 619 00:26:37,320 --> 00:26:40,879 Speaker 1: Jerry Judy who was outstanding. He's uncommitted, He's come from Florida. 620 00:26:40,920 --> 00:26:43,480 Speaker 1: There's a lot of conversation about him. Has some little 621 00:26:43,520 --> 00:26:46,320 Speaker 1: guys that can catch at a guy. H Grant Calcati 622 00:26:46,520 --> 00:26:49,360 Speaker 1: who's from southern California's son of Margotrita. Was playing tight 623 00:26:49,440 --> 00:26:52,840 Speaker 1: and he was good on defense. We had crazy dudes, 624 00:26:53,680 --> 00:26:58,639 Speaker 1: von Darius count who's going to Alabama. Um, just dudes. 625 00:26:59,160 --> 00:27:02,080 Speaker 1: And it's funny how the thing is like just watching 626 00:27:02,160 --> 00:27:04,520 Speaker 1: a lot of these guys that you hear about. Hunter Johnson, 627 00:27:04,600 --> 00:27:07,879 Speaker 1: quarterback just going to Clemson, is a stud. He is legit. 628 00:27:08,080 --> 00:27:09,720 Speaker 1: Is he a baseball guy too? Am I just making 629 00:27:09,800 --> 00:27:11,359 Speaker 1: that up? I mean, I just know he's a great 630 00:27:11,359 --> 00:27:13,359 Speaker 1: aum might be he's recruiting a lot of guys that 631 00:27:13,440 --> 00:27:18,399 Speaker 1: Clemson to. He's a guy that people rally around. It's 632 00:27:18,440 --> 00:27:20,639 Speaker 1: funny to watch. It's scary to watch because they're like 633 00:27:20,640 --> 00:27:23,120 Speaker 1: five or six teams that get all the dudes, they're 634 00:27:23,119 --> 00:27:25,840 Speaker 1: all going, you just don't know here. This is our last, 635 00:27:25,960 --> 00:27:27,840 Speaker 1: my last recruiting question for you here that we'll wrap 636 00:27:27,880 --> 00:27:29,680 Speaker 1: this thing up. I was thinking about this the other 637 00:27:29,760 --> 00:27:32,080 Speaker 1: day with what Dabbo has done there at Clemson, and 638 00:27:32,080 --> 00:27:34,800 Speaker 1: I was trying to think around the country, who could 639 00:27:34,880 --> 00:27:36,600 Speaker 1: kind of be the next step? Everybody's looking for the 640 00:27:36,600 --> 00:27:38,600 Speaker 1: next The next seven ain't coming around. He's a unicorn. 641 00:27:38,920 --> 00:27:41,000 Speaker 1: Who could be the next Dabbo? And you know who 642 00:27:41,040 --> 00:27:45,040 Speaker 1: keen to my mind? Oh Clay Hilton. He could because 643 00:27:45,080 --> 00:27:47,040 Speaker 1: Dabble was on the staff and kind of okay, is 644 00:27:47,080 --> 00:27:48,600 Speaker 1: this too big for him? I don't know. The players 645 00:27:48,640 --> 00:27:50,879 Speaker 1: love him and he's got this great personality like he's 646 00:27:50,880 --> 00:27:53,640 Speaker 1: trying and he's trying to bring back when sc has 647 00:27:53,680 --> 00:27:56,959 Speaker 1: always been good. It's been because they're able to blend 648 00:27:57,000 --> 00:27:59,560 Speaker 1: smash mouth with dynamic stuff on offense and in the 649 00:27:59,600 --> 00:28:02,359 Speaker 1: defense is always really, really good. I think he wants 650 00:28:02,400 --> 00:28:04,600 Speaker 1: to get back to that formula he's talked about, like 651 00:28:04,640 --> 00:28:07,040 Speaker 1: he's eliminated some of the music, some of the stuff 652 00:28:07,080 --> 00:28:08,960 Speaker 1: that used to go on before. They're a little more 653 00:28:08,960 --> 00:28:12,800 Speaker 1: business like, they're really physical and how they approached the practices. 654 00:28:13,119 --> 00:28:16,840 Speaker 1: The problem is the first time we see that they're 655 00:28:16,920 --> 00:28:21,639 Speaker 1: rolling out against roll time. By the way, did you 656 00:28:21,720 --> 00:28:24,320 Speaker 1: I just did my evaluation on Dory Jackson messy and 657 00:28:24,359 --> 00:28:26,119 Speaker 1: then uh we had there was a little quote an 658 00:28:26,160 --> 00:28:27,960 Speaker 1: article I had he said that might be the best 659 00:28:28,000 --> 00:28:29,920 Speaker 1: athlete in the country. Well yeah, and by the way, 660 00:28:29,920 --> 00:28:31,359 Speaker 1: I got blowback on that, people like, how can you 661 00:28:31,359 --> 00:28:37,320 Speaker 1: say the guy won the long jump? He's a really 662 00:28:37,320 --> 00:28:40,040 Speaker 1: good player. Yeah, but um, Anyways, he had said at 663 00:28:40,040 --> 00:28:42,280 Speaker 1: that packed Holf media day that he wanted Calvin Ridley 664 00:28:42,760 --> 00:28:44,120 Speaker 1: give me Calvin really, I want to I want to 665 00:28:44,120 --> 00:28:46,400 Speaker 1: go one on one with him. So I when I 666 00:28:46,400 --> 00:28:48,800 Speaker 1: want to evaluate, and I said, well, he's gotta clean 667 00:28:48,840 --> 00:28:50,560 Speaker 1: some stuff up because when he went one on one 668 00:28:50,640 --> 00:28:54,000 Speaker 1: Will Fuller. Now you know, like the funny thing, there's 669 00:28:54,040 --> 00:28:56,760 Speaker 1: certain guys at corner that are are covering guys and 670 00:28:56,760 --> 00:28:58,800 Speaker 1: there are other guys that are playmakers. I think he's 671 00:28:58,800 --> 00:29:01,680 Speaker 1: more of a playmaker, meaning he's gonna give up some plays, 672 00:29:01,720 --> 00:29:04,920 Speaker 1: but you have to hang in because he's gonna make 673 00:29:05,120 --> 00:29:07,360 Speaker 1: enough plays to do it. But how about this, Like 674 00:29:07,400 --> 00:29:10,360 Speaker 1: I think on Instagram and tweeted out a picture where 675 00:29:10,360 --> 00:29:15,280 Speaker 1: I had like beside me, it was Jalen Tabor, Jamal Adams, 676 00:29:16,120 --> 00:29:21,440 Speaker 1: a door, Jackson Desmond King, and then Jordan Lewis who 677 00:29:21,520 --> 00:29:23,520 Speaker 1: was from Michigan. We were all in the room together. 678 00:29:23,560 --> 00:29:25,280 Speaker 1: We we had dinner together, whatever, and I was like, 679 00:29:25,480 --> 00:29:28,800 Speaker 1: how about it, how about just trotting those guys out 680 00:29:28,880 --> 00:29:30,520 Speaker 1: and know by the way and and on the other 681 00:29:30,520 --> 00:29:32,520 Speaker 1: side of the room you had Leonard four Ned and O. J. 682 00:29:32,640 --> 00:29:35,800 Speaker 1: Howard and some other guys that second there. Like it's 683 00:29:35,840 --> 00:29:38,120 Speaker 1: fun and it's fun to read your first look your 684 00:29:38,120 --> 00:29:40,080 Speaker 1: Scout reports. If you aren't reading those, you gotta check 685 00:29:40,080 --> 00:29:42,840 Speaker 1: those out on dot com CFB two four or seven. 686 00:29:43,320 --> 00:29:45,800 Speaker 1: Like those things are nice because I'm actually able to 687 00:29:45,840 --> 00:29:48,000 Speaker 1: talk to those guys about it, and they want to 688 00:29:48,040 --> 00:29:51,320 Speaker 1: know where work, What do you think, what do you 689 00:29:51,320 --> 00:29:52,960 Speaker 1: think I need to work on? How should I approach 690 00:29:53,040 --> 00:29:55,200 Speaker 1: the year? What is that stuff? And like the thing 691 00:29:55,240 --> 00:29:56,920 Speaker 1: that I can say about all those guys, all those 692 00:29:56,920 --> 00:30:01,160 Speaker 1: guys like you really like nice guys and nice guys 693 00:30:01,160 --> 00:30:04,120 Speaker 1: who can play. They really get the double stall and 694 00:30:04,200 --> 00:30:06,560 Speaker 1: your things. So having nice guys, guys that are smart, 695 00:30:06,560 --> 00:30:08,959 Speaker 1: guys that are humble enough to take the coach and 696 00:30:09,000 --> 00:30:11,520 Speaker 1: take the criticism. You like that. And so I'm excited 697 00:30:11,520 --> 00:30:13,880 Speaker 1: to see all those guys. The guy who surprised me 698 00:30:14,360 --> 00:30:18,280 Speaker 1: how small he was, Christian McCaffrey. He looked little. He's 699 00:30:18,280 --> 00:30:24,000 Speaker 1: just smaller than I thought. Maybe pounds he might be. 700 00:30:24,040 --> 00:30:26,600 Speaker 1: Here's a small to ten he's not. But you remember 701 00:30:26,600 --> 00:30:29,520 Speaker 1: how Reggie Bush kind of puffed up to be. I 702 00:30:29,520 --> 00:30:32,120 Speaker 1: think that is a very nice comparison in terms of 703 00:30:32,200 --> 00:30:36,440 Speaker 1: size wise. I think at our level he is um 704 00:30:36,720 --> 00:30:38,600 Speaker 1: And I'm gonna say this in the finest way. He 705 00:30:38,800 --> 00:30:42,560 Speaker 1: is um an extension of what Danny wood Hit can 706 00:30:42,640 --> 00:30:44,440 Speaker 1: be in terms of he could come in there. He 707 00:30:44,480 --> 00:30:46,280 Speaker 1: can do a bunch of different things. He can give 708 00:30:46,280 --> 00:30:48,200 Speaker 1: you a lot of different production. But I don't think 709 00:30:48,200 --> 00:30:51,040 Speaker 1: he's going to be your every down guy. Uh. Maybe 710 00:30:51,080 --> 00:30:53,000 Speaker 1: what Reggie Bush has been in the league not what 711 00:30:53,080 --> 00:30:55,640 Speaker 1: he was in college. Maybe he fished that role. He 712 00:30:55,680 --> 00:30:58,360 Speaker 1: could be a guy that could easily catch balls at 713 00:30:58,400 --> 00:31:00,680 Speaker 1: the back field, maybe ten to twelfth carry. I just 714 00:31:00,720 --> 00:31:02,200 Speaker 1: don't know if you want to strap it on him 715 00:31:02,200 --> 00:31:04,640 Speaker 1: and put a twenty five carry workload on him. I 716 00:31:04,640 --> 00:31:06,200 Speaker 1: haven't played video games in a long time, but I 717 00:31:06,240 --> 00:31:08,400 Speaker 1: used to play video games. But you could like build 718 00:31:08,400 --> 00:31:10,840 Speaker 1: a player, right, so you only you only get like 719 00:31:10,880 --> 00:31:13,120 Speaker 1: a certain percentage of points. So it's like, okay, you're 720 00:31:13,120 --> 00:31:15,520 Speaker 1: going through Okay, I want to give him, Okay, a 721 00:31:15,560 --> 00:31:18,680 Speaker 1: certain percentage on you know, athletic ability, a certain percentage 722 00:31:18,720 --> 00:31:20,960 Speaker 1: on size, Like you can't just have him all the 723 00:31:20,960 --> 00:31:22,479 Speaker 1: way across the board. I'm sure this is what they 724 00:31:22,520 --> 00:31:24,600 Speaker 1: do in MAD and I don't play Mad, but like 725 00:31:24,640 --> 00:31:26,760 Speaker 1: with McCaffrey, to me, that's what he is. He doesn't 726 00:31:26,800 --> 00:31:29,520 Speaker 1: max out any of the categories. But you can get him. 727 00:31:29,600 --> 00:31:31,800 Speaker 1: You take your your twenty touches and you say, Okay, 728 00:31:31,800 --> 00:31:33,560 Speaker 1: he's gonna we're gonna gi him twenty touches. We're gonna 729 00:31:33,600 --> 00:31:36,160 Speaker 1: give him ten carries, we're gonna throw him four balls, 730 00:31:36,280 --> 00:31:38,480 Speaker 1: we're gonna let him return three kickoffs, and he's gonna 731 00:31:38,480 --> 00:31:41,160 Speaker 1: return four points. That's our touches he's gonna and out 732 00:31:41,200 --> 00:31:43,520 Speaker 1: of those twenty touches, he's gonna be a very impactful player. 733 00:31:43,640 --> 00:31:46,040 Speaker 1: Maybe it's not just gonna be all of one and 734 00:31:46,160 --> 00:31:48,200 Speaker 1: none of the young and maybe Darren Sprows is a 735 00:31:48,200 --> 00:31:50,240 Speaker 1: better comparison in terms of not the size why, but 736 00:31:50,240 --> 00:31:53,160 Speaker 1: in terms of how Darren has been used. Like I 737 00:31:53,200 --> 00:31:54,960 Speaker 1: think you have to have a very clear plan for 738 00:31:55,040 --> 00:31:56,200 Speaker 1: what he's going to be and you need to have 739 00:31:56,280 --> 00:31:58,920 Speaker 1: another running back in the fold that can do some 740 00:31:59,000 --> 00:32:01,280 Speaker 1: of the dirty work that allows him to be the 741 00:32:01,320 --> 00:32:03,680 Speaker 1: special playmaker that he Yeah, you're not gonna move the pile. 742 00:32:03,720 --> 00:32:05,760 Speaker 1: He's not at lower shoulder do that. He's gonna step 743 00:32:05,800 --> 00:32:08,000 Speaker 1: through some tackles. But he's a fun player to watch. 744 00:32:08,000 --> 00:32:09,920 Speaker 1: In Stanford, I think they have it. They have Kansas State. 745 00:32:09,960 --> 00:32:13,400 Speaker 1: I think week once some nice games college college college season. 746 00:32:13,400 --> 00:32:14,640 Speaker 1: I hope we are able to get out and see 747 00:32:14,640 --> 00:32:16,520 Speaker 1: someone those up close and on the podcast here, we'll 748 00:32:16,520 --> 00:32:18,880 Speaker 1: continue to talk about the NFL.
