Speaker 1: Thank you for being with us today. I'm from home.

00:00:17,440 --> 00:00:20,000
Speaker 2: Get over the case of a mini flu bug which

6
00:00:20,040 --> 00:00:23,119
Speaker 2: I fought through for the game on Sunday. Rest in

7
00:00:23,160 --> 00:00:25,439
Speaker 2: a couple of days, but feeling better now. Fever's gone.

11
00:00:36,320 --> 00:00:39,080
Speaker 2: got the college football playoffs coming. We're gonna talk about

12
00:00:39,080 --> 00:00:41,839
Speaker 2: that today, the first round, and then we also have

13
00:00:41,880 --> 00:00:44,720
Speaker 2: a bunch of guys declaring for the NFL Draft and

14
00:00:44,800 --> 00:00:47,800
Speaker 2: also committing to the Senior Bowl or the Shrine Game.

15
00:00:47,920 --> 00:00:49,880
Speaker 2: So a lot going on right now in the world

16
00:00:49,960 --> 00:00:52,160
Speaker 2: of college football and the NFL Draft.

17
00:00:52,560 --> 00:00:53,040
Speaker 1: A lot.

18
00:00:53,120 --> 00:00:55,160
Speaker 2: And it's interesting because you know, when we had Red

19
00:00:55,200 --> 00:00:57,960
Speaker 2: Fabiano from the Senior Bowl on last week, he said

20
00:00:57,960 --> 00:01:03,080
Speaker 2: that he expected a record low number of underclassmen to

21
00:01:03,240 --> 00:01:05,800
Speaker 2: enter the twenty twenty six draft, and I would agree.

22
00:01:05,840 --> 00:01:08,640
Speaker 2: I agreed with that opinion. But in the early gone

23
00:01:08,680 --> 00:01:11,080
Speaker 2: we're seeing a lot of names of guys that have

24
00:01:12,480 --> 00:01:14,720
Speaker 2: entered the draft or have already committed to the draft.

25
00:01:15,600 --> 00:01:17,520
Speaker 2: We'll talk about a few of them now. It's gonna

26
00:01:17,520 --> 00:01:19,880
Speaker 2: be interesting to watch this list because you remember Kim

27
00:01:19,959 --> 00:01:24,000
Speaker 2: Ward two years ago initially entered the draft, then went

28
00:01:24,040 --> 00:01:26,440
Speaker 2: back in the transfer portal and got the deal that

29
00:01:26,480 --> 00:01:31,160
Speaker 2: he wanted from University of Miami. So again, if they've

30
00:01:31,360 --> 00:01:33,720
Speaker 2: announced that they're entering for the draft, but they haven't

31
00:01:33,760 --> 00:01:35,960
Speaker 2: signed with an agent, they could always go back in

32
00:01:36,000 --> 00:01:36,840
Speaker 2: the transfer portal.

33
00:01:36,920 --> 00:01:37,800
Speaker 1: So that bears watching.

34
00:01:38,200 --> 00:01:40,160
Speaker 2: Yeah, no question about it. So you just mentioned the

35
00:01:40,240 --> 00:01:42,840
Speaker 2: quarterback Tony, So why don't we start there. I think

36
00:01:42,840 --> 00:01:46,600
Speaker 2: it's a good place to start. Not really any declarations here,

37
00:01:46,640 --> 00:01:49,280
Speaker 2: but two of the big quarterbacks before the year, arguably

38
00:01:49,680 --> 00:01:51,040
Speaker 2: the in many lists.

39
00:01:51,080 --> 00:01:52,279
Speaker 1: The top one and two.

40
00:01:52,200 --> 00:01:54,880
Speaker 2: Quarterbacks not yours heading into the draft this year or

41
00:01:55,000 --> 00:01:58,560
Speaker 2: Arch Manning and Leonora's Sellers. This week, both those players

42
00:01:58,600 --> 00:02:02,520
Speaker 2: announcing they're going back to school, Manning returning to Texas Sellers.

43
00:02:02,520 --> 00:02:03,400
Speaker 1: It appears as.

44
00:02:03,280 --> 00:02:05,280
Speaker 2: Though he's going back to South Carolina. We have not

45
00:02:05,360 --> 00:02:08,160
Speaker 2: heard that for sure, but that is the case according

46
00:02:08,160 --> 00:02:11,080
Speaker 2: to reports. Somebody last night I spoke to told me

47
00:02:11,120 --> 00:02:14,040
Speaker 2: that they believe the deal with South Carolina has been

48
00:02:14,200 --> 00:02:17,560
Speaker 2: signed by Sellers, So it bears like ninety nine point

49
00:02:17,639 --> 00:02:19,640
Speaker 2: nine percent that he's going back. Yeah, they were going

50
00:02:19,680 --> 00:02:22,520
Speaker 2: to get back to me confirmation that the deal was signed.

51
00:02:22,720 --> 00:02:26,440
Speaker 2: But the fact is this, you know, South Carolina has

52
00:02:26,480 --> 00:02:28,880
Speaker 2: made a big pitch to Sellers that they're really going

53
00:02:28,919 --> 00:02:32,120
Speaker 2: to structure or get an offense to develop his game.

54
00:02:32,240 --> 00:02:35,680
Speaker 2: They brought in Kendall Briles, the offensive coordinator from a

55
00:02:35,760 --> 00:02:39,560
Speaker 2: TCU had great success with Josh hub this season. I'm

56
00:02:39,560 --> 00:02:42,880
Speaker 2: sure they're going to bring an offensive lineman, additional offensive lineman,

57
00:02:43,080 --> 00:02:47,919
Speaker 2: additional receivers. Going back to college was Sellers really it

58
00:02:47,960 --> 00:02:51,960
Speaker 2: was his best move. Whether going back to South Carolina

59
00:02:52,360 --> 00:02:55,280
Speaker 2: was the proper decision remains to be seen. I was

60
00:02:55,280 --> 00:02:58,480
Speaker 2: in favor of him moving to a different school. Obviously,

61
00:02:58,840 --> 00:03:03,239
Speaker 2: bringing Kendall Bryantills is a sign that South Carolina is

62
00:03:03,280 --> 00:03:06,760
Speaker 2: really going to emphasize a prioritize le Norah Sellers and

63
00:03:07,080 --> 00:03:10,120
Speaker 2: hopefully turn him into a from an athlete into a

64
00:03:10,160 --> 00:03:11,000
Speaker 2: really good passer.

65
00:03:11,320 --> 00:03:14,440
Speaker 1: I'm guessing Kendall Brow's as Art Brile's kid. Is that accurate?

66
00:03:14,800 --> 00:03:17,639
Speaker 1: That is you are guessing correct, and then not.

67
00:03:17,639 --> 00:03:20,120
Speaker 2: A surprise that Arch Manning. I thought, even if he

68
00:03:20,160 --> 00:03:21,480
Speaker 2: had a good year, he was going to go back

69
00:03:21,520 --> 00:03:22,880
Speaker 2: to school. But the fact he had an up and

70
00:03:22,919 --> 00:03:25,160
Speaker 2: down year pretty obvious that he was going to head

71
00:03:25,160 --> 00:03:25,720
Speaker 2: back to school.

72
00:03:26,040 --> 00:03:28,480
Speaker 1: Yeah, and we talked about this. Yeah, going back to August.

73
00:03:28,480 --> 00:03:31,200
Speaker 2: If you watch our shows, I mean, the chances of

74
00:03:31,360 --> 00:03:34,240
Speaker 2: Arch Manning entering the season were less than one percent.

75
00:03:34,240 --> 00:03:36,240
Speaker 2: They were probably less than point one percent. Look at

76
00:03:36,240 --> 00:03:38,480
Speaker 2: his uncles, look at the history of the family. I mean,

77
00:03:38,520 --> 00:03:42,520
Speaker 2: people enter, players enter the draft because of there's financial

78
00:03:42,560 --> 00:03:45,880
Speaker 2: strain in the family. That's not the situation in the

79
00:03:45,880 --> 00:03:49,720
Speaker 2: Manning household. Never minded, it's notts. It's gonna signed a

80
00:03:49,800 --> 00:03:52,400
Speaker 2: huge nil deal. And the fact is he needed to

81
00:03:52,440 --> 00:03:52,839
Speaker 2: go back.

82
00:03:52,920 --> 00:03:53,119
Speaker 1: Now.

83
00:03:53,800 --> 00:03:57,080
Speaker 2: Manning was a much better quarterback when he played Texas

84
00:03:57,120 --> 00:03:58,640
Speaker 2: A and M at the at the end of the

85
00:03:58,640 --> 00:04:01,520
Speaker 2: regular season than he was when he started against Ohio State.

86
00:04:01,600 --> 00:04:03,680
Speaker 2: So he did show the development his game. Got to

87
00:04:03,680 --> 00:04:06,320
Speaker 2: give him credit for that. I still don't think he's

88
00:04:06,440 --> 00:04:09,480
Speaker 2: near the top quarterbacks in this draft. He still needs

89
00:04:09,520 --> 00:04:12,560
Speaker 2: a lot of work on his game. His propensity to

90
00:04:12,680 --> 00:04:16,040
Speaker 2: stare down receivers is very concerning to me. But hey,

91
00:04:16,400 --> 00:04:19,120
Speaker 2: good for arch Manning going back for another year at Texas.

92
00:04:19,200 --> 00:04:22,560
Speaker 2: Hopefully he develops his game and he turns into you know,

93
00:04:22,640 --> 00:04:25,240
Speaker 2: the top three pick that people are projecting. And he

94
00:04:25,279 --> 00:04:27,640
Speaker 2: also is a very different throwing motion, but like his

95
00:04:27,760 --> 00:04:30,840
Speaker 2: is not a traditional throwing motion like hiske his uncles had,

96
00:04:30,920 --> 00:04:34,760
Speaker 2: Peyton and Eli and his grandfather and Archie. It's almost

97
00:04:34,800 --> 00:04:36,680
Speaker 2: like a like a like a slingshot type of like

98
00:04:36,720 --> 00:04:38,440
Speaker 2: three quarters thing. So I wonder if he's going to

99
00:04:38,480 --> 00:04:39,560
Speaker 2: work on some of that too. I would have that

100
00:04:39,640 --> 00:04:42,520
Speaker 2: had something to do with his h with his accuracy issues.

101
00:04:43,200 --> 00:04:45,880
Speaker 2: Third quarterback we want to touch on Tony was Brandon

102
00:04:45,920 --> 00:04:49,160
Speaker 2: Soarsby from Cincinnati. Looks like he's going to enter the

103
00:04:49,200 --> 00:04:51,840
Speaker 2: transfer portal and we'll see where he winds up. Yeah,

104
00:04:51,960 --> 00:04:54,160
Speaker 2: I mean had an up and down season. Scouts liked

105
00:04:54,200 --> 00:04:56,640
Speaker 2: him coming into the year, but he was a middle

106
00:04:56,720 --> 00:05:01,320
Speaker 2: round pick. Cincinnati was good up until the very Again,

107
00:05:01,480 --> 00:05:04,080
Speaker 2: you know, I think Swersby's going the route that I

108
00:05:04,080 --> 00:05:06,800
Speaker 2: thought sellers should go. See what's available, see if he

109
00:05:06,880 --> 00:05:09,080
Speaker 2: get hooked up with a good quarterback coach. You know,

110
00:05:09,160 --> 00:05:12,920
Speaker 2: I keep mentioning Josh Hipel at Tennessee because Joey Aguilar

111
00:05:13,040 --> 00:05:14,920
Speaker 2: is going to be on his way out. You know,

112
00:05:14,960 --> 00:05:18,000
Speaker 2: it's an understandable move for a quarterback that's got a

113
00:05:18,040 --> 00:05:20,240
Speaker 2: lot of physical talents and just wants to take his

114
00:05:20,320 --> 00:05:22,520
Speaker 2: game to the next level. All right, Now, not a

115
00:05:22,560 --> 00:05:24,680
Speaker 2: ton at the running back position here, Tony. We have

116
00:05:24,720 --> 00:05:28,360
Speaker 2: one declaration, Emma Johnson and of Nebraska. We'll start there

117
00:05:28,400 --> 00:05:29,680
Speaker 2: before we get to two of the guys that were

118
00:05:29,680 --> 00:05:32,880
Speaker 2: heading to the Senior Bowl. Explosive interior runner. I had

119
00:05:32,920 --> 00:05:36,080
Speaker 2: a great season. I grate him as a fifth round prospect.

120
00:05:36,520 --> 00:05:39,520
Speaker 2: I talked to people in his camp. They expect him

121
00:05:39,560 --> 00:05:43,120
Speaker 2: to be a Day three a selection. So you're probably

122
00:05:43,120 --> 00:05:45,640
Speaker 2: looking fourth fifth round area for Amma Johnson had a

123
00:05:45,680 --> 00:05:48,719
Speaker 2: great year, really came out of nowhere and decided to

124
00:05:48,800 --> 00:05:51,039
Speaker 2: go to the NFL. What's his size, Tony? Do you

125
00:05:51,040 --> 00:05:51,719
Speaker 2: have that handy?

126
00:05:51,760 --> 00:05:52,359
Speaker 1: I'm curious.

127
00:05:52,720 --> 00:05:55,000
Speaker 2: I think his official size is probably gonna be about

128
00:05:55,000 --> 00:05:59,200
Speaker 2: five ten, five eleven, in the two twelve to fifteen range.

129
00:05:59,600 --> 00:06:01,640
Speaker 2: I think I think that's big enough to be in

130
00:06:01,680 --> 00:06:03,920
Speaker 2: every down back for sure. If you're five ten two fifteen,

131
00:06:03,960 --> 00:06:06,479
Speaker 2: I think that'll get the job done. All right, let's

132
00:06:06,520 --> 00:06:09,200
Speaker 2: jump over to the Senior Bowl. A couple of running

133
00:06:09,200 --> 00:06:11,040
Speaker 2: backs that I know we had high hopes for this year.

134
00:06:11,440 --> 00:06:13,960
Speaker 2: One kind of disappointed, the other one I think kind

135
00:06:14,000 --> 00:06:16,560
Speaker 2: of surpassed. As teammates. Maybe there's the top running back

136
00:06:16,600 --> 00:06:19,000
Speaker 2: on his team. You have jam Miller who came back

137
00:06:19,000 --> 00:06:21,960
Speaker 2: from injury for Alabama midway through the year. He's heading

138
00:06:21,960 --> 00:06:24,440
Speaker 2: to the Senior Bowl. And then k Tron Allen from

139
00:06:24,440 --> 00:06:27,560
Speaker 2: Penn State, who kind of surpassed Singleton. I think this

140
00:06:27,680 --> 00:06:30,080
Speaker 2: year Penn State is the best running back there. So

141
00:06:30,200 --> 00:06:32,440
Speaker 2: we'll see both of them in Mobile, which should be fun.

142
00:06:32,960 --> 00:06:33,880
Speaker 1: It's not even a question.

143
00:06:33,920 --> 00:06:36,599
Speaker 2: I mean, Kate Tron Allen coming into the year was

144
00:06:36,640 --> 00:06:39,720
Speaker 2: graded by a scouts two to three rounds lower than

145
00:06:39,800 --> 00:06:42,080
Speaker 2: Nick Singleton, and I think right now he's at least

146
00:06:42,120 --> 00:06:45,080
Speaker 2: one to two will be selected one to two rounds earlier.

147
00:06:45,279 --> 00:06:47,720
Speaker 2: The next Singleton, who really just didn't show up this year,

148
00:06:47,720 --> 00:06:53,680
Speaker 2: did not perform to expectations. Where Allen. He's a big, strong, fast, explosive,

149
00:06:54,200 --> 00:06:57,200
Speaker 2: more of a downhill type ball carrier who can also

150
00:06:57,279 --> 00:07:00,360
Speaker 2: catch the ball on the backfield. I always like them

151
00:07:00,400 --> 00:07:03,880
Speaker 2: more than scouts did. He's had a terrific season. He's

152
00:07:03,880 --> 00:07:05,760
Speaker 2: gonna reap the benefits of that. Good to see him

153
00:07:05,760 --> 00:07:10,480
Speaker 2: at the Senior Ball. You know jam Miller, Alabama couldn't

154
00:07:10,520 --> 00:07:12,720
Speaker 2: run the ball this year and large Hawker's jam Miller

155
00:07:13,040 --> 00:07:15,920
Speaker 2: was injured, I mean early on, he missed time because

156
00:07:15,960 --> 00:07:18,960
Speaker 2: of an injury. High Simpsons struggled that first game. When

157
00:07:19,000 --> 00:07:22,520
Speaker 2: he came back, his running ability seemed to settle the

158
00:07:22,600 --> 00:07:25,960
Speaker 2: Alabama offense, but he was never one hundred percent. Scouts

159
00:07:25,960 --> 00:07:28,600
Speaker 2: like him as a middle round pick. He's got good size,

160
00:07:28,640 --> 00:07:31,600
Speaker 2: he's smart, good pass catcher out of the backfield. The

161
00:07:31,680 --> 00:07:34,280
Speaker 2: durability is the major issue as you saw this season,

162
00:07:34,840 --> 00:07:36,280
Speaker 2: and Tony I should have mentioned this when we did

163
00:07:36,280 --> 00:07:39,360
Speaker 2: the quarterbacks, but I'll do it now. I apologize two

164
00:07:39,440 --> 00:07:41,480
Speaker 2: quarterbacks that are in the college football playoffs. I guess

165
00:07:41,480 --> 00:07:43,280
Speaker 2: we could hit this later when we get to those

166
00:07:43,320 --> 00:07:45,760
Speaker 2: two games. But we'll to see what happens with the

167
00:07:45,840 --> 00:07:48,400
Speaker 2: Dante mor and Ty Simpson. Just so fans though, there

168
00:07:48,400 --> 00:07:51,560
Speaker 2: are two deadlines for declaring for the NFL Draft. The

169
00:07:51,600 --> 00:07:55,200
Speaker 2: underclassman deadline is January fourteenth, and then if you're get

170
00:07:55,200 --> 00:07:58,920
Speaker 2: as far as the college football Championship game, it's January

171
00:07:59,000 --> 00:08:01,840
Speaker 2: twenty third, which is before the Senior Bowl. So just

172
00:08:01,840 --> 00:08:03,360
Speaker 2: a couple of days for people to keep in mind,

173
00:08:03,400 --> 00:08:05,760
Speaker 2: and of course we will get to those college football

174
00:08:05,800 --> 00:08:08,600
Speaker 2: playoff games as well. All right, let's jump to wide

175
00:08:08,640 --> 00:08:11,120
Speaker 2: receiver here, Tony a lot of movement.

176
00:08:11,200 --> 00:08:11,440
Speaker 1: There.

177
00:08:11,800 --> 00:08:15,240
Speaker 2: We have Jordan Tyson, Chris Brasel from Tennessee, and an

178
00:08:15,280 --> 00:08:18,720
Speaker 2: Toni and Williams from Clemson, all declaring for the NFL Draft.

179
00:08:19,680 --> 00:08:23,360
Speaker 2: I understand, you know, Razzell Tyson. You know it's an

180
00:08:23,440 --> 00:08:27,040
Speaker 2: injury issue. He's losing his quarterback, Sam Levitt entered the

181
00:08:27,080 --> 00:08:30,520
Speaker 2: transfer portal, the coach may be on his way to Michigan.

182
00:08:30,760 --> 00:08:33,920
Speaker 2: So it's understandable that Tyson, who I think is being

183
00:08:34,080 --> 00:08:36,199
Speaker 2: overrated by a lot of people right now who have

184
00:08:36,320 --> 00:08:38,160
Speaker 2: him as a top ten pick. I don't see him

185
00:08:38,160 --> 00:08:41,760
Speaker 2: as that. The injury issues, the fact he's not really big.

186
00:08:42,040 --> 00:08:44,920
Speaker 2: In fact, he's not super fast. He's a great pass catcher,

187
00:08:45,160 --> 00:08:48,000
Speaker 2: but he just doesn't have any great physical traits that

188
00:08:48,120 --> 00:08:51,960
Speaker 2: separate him from anybody else. Razzell had a great year.

189
00:08:52,440 --> 00:08:54,400
Speaker 2: Gonna be interesting, as I said in the past, to

190
00:08:54,440 --> 00:08:56,840
Speaker 2: see how he tests. If he tests before the drug,

191
00:08:57,080 --> 00:08:57,880
Speaker 2: he's forty times.

192
00:08:57,920 --> 00:08:58,640
Speaker 1: He's ten slit.

193
00:08:58,640 --> 00:09:02,680
Speaker 2: He doesn't look very fast releasing off the line of scrimmage,

194
00:09:02,800 --> 00:09:05,960
Speaker 2: but he's an exceptional pass catcher who shows sneaky speed

195
00:09:06,480 --> 00:09:09,640
Speaker 2: and he makes a lot of acrobatic highlight. You know, Tony,

196
00:09:10,120 --> 00:09:12,240
Speaker 2: he's one of those guys. He's so long and lanky.

197
00:09:12,320 --> 00:09:14,800
Speaker 2: He's got those big, long legs. He doesn't look like

198
00:09:14,840 --> 00:09:17,360
Speaker 2: he's running fast, but he just runs past people, you

199
00:09:17,400 --> 00:09:18,080
Speaker 2: know what I mean.

200
00:09:18,320 --> 00:09:21,640
Speaker 1: A long strider. That's what he's referring to in the

201
00:09:21,679 --> 00:09:23,960
Speaker 1: scouting world. And that's good.

202
00:09:24,000 --> 00:09:25,160
Speaker 2: But the thing is is you've got to be able

203
00:09:25,200 --> 00:09:27,000
Speaker 2: to quickly release off the line of script or get

204
00:09:27,040 --> 00:09:27,800
Speaker 2: off those jams.

205
00:09:27,840 --> 00:09:31,000
Speaker 1: So that's something to keep an eye on. Antonio Williams. Listen.

206
00:09:31,040 --> 00:09:34,520
Speaker 2: I loved Antonio Williams coming into the season. He was

207
00:09:34,559 --> 00:09:38,400
Speaker 2: injured this year. His production was fractional compared to last year.

208
00:09:38,679 --> 00:09:42,120
Speaker 2: Fifty five catches in twenty twenty four, twenty five compared

209
00:09:42,120 --> 00:09:45,360
Speaker 2: to seventy five a year ago. Six hundred four yards

210
00:09:45,360 --> 00:09:48,520
Speaker 2: receiving this year compared to nine hundred and four yards

211
00:09:48,720 --> 00:09:51,120
Speaker 2: a year ago. I mean, indicative of what we saw

212
00:09:51,200 --> 00:09:55,200
Speaker 2: with the Clemson program. Probably gonna be a Day two pick,

213
00:09:55,559 --> 00:09:59,280
Speaker 2: but obviously entering the draft off a down year. And

214
00:09:59,280 --> 00:10:01,880
Speaker 2: how about your cod Tony, he's out a usc he

215
00:10:01,920 --> 00:10:04,040
Speaker 2: declared for the NFL Draft. We have not really talked

216
00:10:04,040 --> 00:10:07,000
Speaker 2: about him much over the course of this year on

217
00:10:07,080 --> 00:10:09,120
Speaker 2: this show. So give you a little scouting report on

218
00:10:09,600 --> 00:10:11,760
Speaker 2: USC wide receiver Jakobe Lane.

219
00:10:11,440 --> 00:10:13,120
Speaker 1: Because we talk about Mikay Lemon all the time.

220
00:10:14,840 --> 00:10:17,760
Speaker 2: Is your Chris Rassel type in a sense that he's

221
00:10:17,760 --> 00:10:22,239
Speaker 2: a bigger guy. He's a perfect counter receiver or complimentary

222
00:10:22,280 --> 00:10:27,160
Speaker 2: receiver to Lemon because he's bigger, he's stronger. He's more

223
00:10:27,200 --> 00:10:29,600
Speaker 2: of a possession wide out. He's the guy that's gonna

224
00:10:29,600 --> 00:10:31,600
Speaker 2: go up and catch the ball on the crowd. He's

225
00:10:31,600 --> 00:10:34,080
Speaker 2: your red zone threat. He's not as fast, he's not

226
00:10:34,160 --> 00:10:37,680
Speaker 2: as quick. Does it run at sharp routes. A lot

227
00:10:37,720 --> 00:10:39,880
Speaker 2: of where he ends up in the draft will depend

228
00:10:39,920 --> 00:10:42,440
Speaker 2: on his testing. I still think he is a Day

229
00:10:42,480 --> 00:10:46,600
Speaker 2: two selection. He's just good possession wide out. And then

230
00:10:46,600 --> 00:10:49,560
Speaker 2: Antonio Williams Tony, he was your number one wide receiver

231
00:10:49,600 --> 00:10:52,080
Speaker 2: heading into the year, did not play as well this

232
00:10:52,200 --> 00:10:54,600
Speaker 2: year as he did last year. Obviously, you could apply

233
00:10:54,679 --> 00:10:57,160
Speaker 2: that to literally anyone that was on that Clemson roster.

234
00:10:57,280 --> 00:11:01,400
Speaker 2: They just underperformed this year. Where does he eventually wind

235
00:11:01,480 --> 00:11:03,640
Speaker 2: up now that he has declared for the NFL Draft.

236
00:11:04,880 --> 00:11:07,280
Speaker 2: I think I still think he's a Day two pick,

237
00:11:07,440 --> 00:11:09,600
Speaker 2: maybe third round area. He's not the biggest guy in

238
00:11:09,600 --> 00:11:11,240
Speaker 2: the world. I mean, he's probably going to measure in

239
00:11:11,240 --> 00:11:13,920
Speaker 2: about five ten five ten and change, and he doesn't

240
00:11:13,920 --> 00:11:16,480
Speaker 2: look big on film. He's a good route runner. He

241
00:11:16,559 --> 00:11:20,679
Speaker 2: was an explosive playmaker in twenty twenty four, so scout,

242
00:11:20,720 --> 00:11:23,119
Speaker 2: you're gonna have to go back and look at the film.

243
00:11:23,920 --> 00:11:26,560
Speaker 1: Is good receiver. He's just coming off of down years.

244
00:11:26,640 --> 00:11:28,319
Speaker 2: I do think he's still going to end up in

245
00:11:28,400 --> 00:11:30,040
Speaker 2: day and Day two of the draft.

246
00:11:30,320 --> 00:11:30,600
Speaker 1: All right.

247
00:11:30,600 --> 00:11:32,320
Speaker 2: A couple of wide receivers that are going to the

248
00:11:32,360 --> 00:11:36,000
Speaker 2: Senior Ball just announced today on Tuesday, Jeremy Bernord from

249
00:11:36,040 --> 00:11:39,160
Speaker 2: Alabama committing to the Senior Ball. That'll be a nice fit.

250
00:11:39,160 --> 00:11:40,360
Speaker 2: He could be a guy that I think is going

251
00:11:40,400 --> 00:11:41,839
Speaker 2: to fight to be a first round pick at the

252
00:11:41,920 --> 00:11:44,600
Speaker 2: end of that first round. Really good, solid all around player,

253
00:11:44,600 --> 00:11:46,679
Speaker 2: and we'll see him in mobile. Want to see him

254
00:11:46,679 --> 00:11:49,319
Speaker 2: in those one on ones. Can he get separation? I mean,

255
00:11:49,400 --> 00:11:52,240
Speaker 2: is he always winning out for the contested grab or

256
00:11:52,320 --> 00:11:55,240
Speaker 2: is he separating from receivers through his rout. Not the

257
00:11:55,240 --> 00:11:57,480
Speaker 2: fastest guy in the world, so he's got to show

258
00:11:57,520 --> 00:11:59,920
Speaker 2: the ability, you know, to separate from defenders with that

259
00:12:00,200 --> 00:12:02,920
Speaker 2: route running rather than just physically beat him down.

260
00:12:02,760 --> 00:12:04,679
Speaker 1: To come out for the come outway with the catch.

261
00:12:05,080 --> 00:12:06,960
Speaker 2: And then Tony one guy we haven't talked a ton

262
00:12:07,000 --> 00:12:09,120
Speaker 2: on this show. I know's he's a big riser on

263
00:12:09,200 --> 00:12:11,360
Speaker 2: a couple of lists that are out there. Tell me

264
00:12:11,400 --> 00:12:14,840
Speaker 2: about Ted Hurst, the wide receiver out of Georgia State.

265
00:12:16,200 --> 00:12:18,360
Speaker 2: He was an early riser for me in the season

266
00:12:18,360 --> 00:12:20,760
Speaker 2: if you read my Risers and Sliders column. He was

267
00:12:20,800 --> 00:12:22,520
Speaker 2: a guy I liked, I had of as I gave

268
00:12:22,559 --> 00:12:25,839
Speaker 2: him a fifth round grade coming into the season. He's improved.

269
00:12:26,120 --> 00:12:31,320
Speaker 2: He's more like your Jacoby Lane type, big possession receiver, strong,

270
00:12:31,760 --> 00:12:34,760
Speaker 2: wins out for the contested throws. Not the fastest guy

271
00:12:34,760 --> 00:12:37,560
Speaker 2: in the world, but was super productive at Georgia State.

272
00:12:37,600 --> 00:12:39,839
Speaker 2: I mean, just kept getting better and better and better.

273
00:12:40,200 --> 00:12:43,640
Speaker 2: Like Jeremy Jeremy Bernard you mentioned before. Want to see

274
00:12:44,480 --> 00:12:47,120
Speaker 2: Hurst in those one on ones. Is he able to

275
00:12:47,160 --> 00:12:49,800
Speaker 2: separate through his routes? Does he use his hands well

276
00:12:49,800 --> 00:12:52,120
Speaker 2: to separate? You know he's gonna come away with detatch

277
00:12:52,360 --> 00:12:54,680
Speaker 2: because he always wins out for the contested throw. But

278
00:12:54,760 --> 00:12:57,520
Speaker 2: his ability to separate during the one on one drills

279
00:12:57,520 --> 00:13:00,800
Speaker 2: at the Senior Ball will dictate whether he's a mid

280
00:13:00,880 --> 00:13:03,680
Speaker 2: day three pick or maybe late day two pick.

281
00:13:04,240 --> 00:13:06,280
Speaker 1: Yeah, and he will be in Mobile as well.

282
00:13:06,760 --> 00:13:09,360
Speaker 2: And then some bad news got leaked out over the

283
00:13:09,400 --> 00:13:11,880
Speaker 2: course of the last week or so out of Louisville.

284
00:13:11,960 --> 00:13:15,880
Speaker 2: Chris Bell, they're very talented wide receiver over six foot,

285
00:13:15,920 --> 00:13:18,480
Speaker 2: well over two hundred pounds, really broke out this year.

286
00:13:18,920 --> 00:13:20,840
Speaker 2: It sounds like he is a torn acl Tony, So

287
00:13:20,880 --> 00:13:23,520
Speaker 2: we'll see what that means for him. I'm not sure

288
00:13:23,559 --> 00:13:25,400
Speaker 2: if he has any eligibility to go back to school.

289
00:13:25,440 --> 00:13:27,680
Speaker 2: You will know that better than I would. But I

290
00:13:27,720 --> 00:13:28,960
Speaker 2: wonder what he decides to do.

291
00:13:29,080 --> 00:13:29,360
Speaker 1: Now.

292
00:13:29,720 --> 00:13:31,240
Speaker 2: He's a guy that had a chance to be a

293
00:13:31,240 --> 00:13:33,040
Speaker 2: first round pick as well, but now he's got a

294
00:13:33,080 --> 00:13:34,840
Speaker 2: torn ACL and reports are correct.

295
00:13:35,120 --> 00:13:37,560
Speaker 1: Yeah, it's said because it happened so late in the year.

296
00:13:37,640 --> 00:13:40,240
Speaker 1: He is a fourth round, a fourth year senior.

297
00:13:40,280 --> 00:13:44,040
Speaker 2: Now there is a case in the court system right

298
00:13:44,080 --> 00:13:49,240
Speaker 2: now about giving guys a fifth year on the college field,

299
00:13:49,280 --> 00:13:52,800
Speaker 2: regardless of how many years they played on the college field.

300
00:13:52,840 --> 00:13:55,880
Speaker 2: Before I spoke with somebody about it yesterday, they still

301
00:13:55,920 --> 00:13:59,120
Speaker 2: don't know what it is. So the courts may come

302
00:13:59,200 --> 00:14:03,080
Speaker 2: down and give Chris Bell another season. Regardless of that.

303
00:14:03,240 --> 00:14:05,920
Speaker 2: You know, it's terrible because it happened last game of

304
00:14:05,920 --> 00:14:08,959
Speaker 2: the year he had. He played so well this year.

305
00:14:08,960 --> 00:14:11,320
Speaker 2: I had him as a third rounder coming in the season.

306
00:14:11,440 --> 00:14:12,840
Speaker 2: I don't think he was gonna be a first rounder.

307
00:14:12,880 --> 00:14:15,440
Speaker 2: But man, he was a good receiver. He was a

308
00:14:15,480 --> 00:14:20,520
Speaker 2: bigger guy who showed some excellent quickness, a sneaky burst,

309
00:14:20,760 --> 00:14:22,840
Speaker 2: and you just hate to see that, especially when it

310
00:14:22,920 --> 00:14:25,160
Speaker 2: happened so late in the year. All right, let's go

311
00:14:25,160 --> 00:14:27,280
Speaker 2: to the offensive line here, Tony. We have a couple

312
00:14:27,320 --> 00:14:32,040
Speaker 2: of declarations. Jude Bowry out of Boston College and then

313
00:14:32,080 --> 00:14:33,840
Speaker 2: I really need to do a better job getting this

314
00:14:33,880 --> 00:14:37,920
Speaker 2: pronunciation right. But Ola Vega, I own the guard out

315
00:14:37,920 --> 00:14:41,200
Speaker 2: of Penn State, also declaric go with my own first.

316
00:14:41,280 --> 00:14:42,720
Speaker 2: I mean a lot of people have him as a

317
00:14:42,720 --> 00:14:45,440
Speaker 2: first rounder. I don't see him as a first rounder

318
00:14:45,640 --> 00:14:49,280
Speaker 2: just yet. Eye bawling him on television. What really getting

319
00:14:49,280 --> 00:14:53,800
Speaker 2: into the film. He's a big, powerful power gap blocker

320
00:14:54,040 --> 00:14:57,280
Speaker 2: who annihilates people, but also shows a lot of stiffness

321
00:14:57,280 --> 00:15:00,920
Speaker 2: in the game. Non effective blocking emotion, non effective on

322
00:15:00,960 --> 00:15:04,000
Speaker 2: the second level. The type of offensive lineman that I like. Now,

323
00:15:04,400 --> 00:15:05,840
Speaker 2: while I don't have him in the first round. I

324
00:15:05,880 --> 00:15:08,720
Speaker 2: will tell you this a guy that I speak with,

325
00:15:08,760 --> 00:15:11,200
Speaker 2: a source that I speak with who's very well informed

326
00:15:11,240 --> 00:15:14,360
Speaker 2: on an offensive lineman, who a year ago told me that

327
00:15:14,400 --> 00:15:17,160
Speaker 2: if armand Membo entered the draft, he would be a

328
00:15:17,160 --> 00:15:20,880
Speaker 2: top ten pick. He believes ione he's pretty much solid there,

329
00:15:20,880 --> 00:15:22,200
Speaker 2: I know, and he's going to be a first round

330
00:15:22,280 --> 00:15:25,440
Speaker 2: a selection. So my opinion may change once I get

331
00:15:25,480 --> 00:15:28,000
Speaker 2: into the film. I like him, but I think he's

332
00:15:28,040 --> 00:15:31,600
Speaker 2: a little bit more of a basically it needs to

333
00:15:31,600 --> 00:15:34,000
Speaker 2: block in a phone booth because he doesn't have the

334
00:15:34,040 --> 00:15:36,480
Speaker 2: great mobility Jude the Bowery of.

335
00:15:38,080 --> 00:15:38,880
Speaker 1: Boston College.

336
00:15:38,880 --> 00:15:40,720
Speaker 2: I had actually put that tweet out a couple of

337
00:15:40,720 --> 00:15:46,120
Speaker 2: weeks ago that he has chosen representation for the draft.

338
00:15:46,160 --> 00:15:50,120
Speaker 2: I believe he's playing in the Shrine Ball twenty twenty four,

339
00:15:50,240 --> 00:15:52,920
Speaker 2: he was terrific. He's a terrific left tackle, mobile, the

340
00:15:52,960 --> 00:15:55,800
Speaker 2: ability to slide latterly get out on the second level.

341
00:15:56,240 --> 00:15:57,440
Speaker 1: Struggle with injuries this year.

342
00:15:57,480 --> 00:15:59,720
Speaker 2: I believe he had a concussion, did not play to

343
00:15:59,800 --> 00:16:02,480
Speaker 2: them in twenty twenty five than he did in twenty

344
00:16:02,560 --> 00:16:05,120
Speaker 2: twenty four. I think that's gonna hurt his draft stop.

345
00:16:05,560 --> 00:16:08,400
Speaker 2: I think he's a third round talent that's probably gonna

346
00:16:08,440 --> 00:16:10,560
Speaker 2: go somewhere in the fourth or fifth round because of

347
00:16:10,600 --> 00:16:13,080
Speaker 2: his play in twenty twenty five. I remember Tony with

348
00:16:13,080 --> 00:16:14,800
Speaker 2: the type of draft class this says, going back to

349
00:16:14,840 --> 00:16:18,080
Speaker 2: the Penn State Guard, You're gonna have guys that normally

350
00:16:18,120 --> 00:16:19,920
Speaker 2: maybe you wouldn't have as a first round pick be

351
00:16:19,960 --> 00:16:22,200
Speaker 2: first round pick just because of the way this top ten,

352
00:16:22,280 --> 00:16:25,400
Speaker 2: top fifteen looks. And I think guys will push their

353
00:16:25,440 --> 00:16:27,280
Speaker 2: way into the first round that might not normally be

354
00:16:27,360 --> 00:16:30,480
Speaker 2: there because the guys I think. Tell me you think

355
00:16:30,520 --> 00:16:32,920
Speaker 2: this is fair to say, Tony, A lot of the

356
00:16:32,960 --> 00:16:35,640
Speaker 2: guys that are gonna be picked like three to fifteen this

357
00:16:35,760 --> 00:16:39,280
Speaker 2: year would normally be picked in like the ten to

358
00:16:39,360 --> 00:16:40,720
Speaker 2: twenty two area, you know.

359
00:16:40,680 --> 00:16:41,200
Speaker 1: What I mean.

360
00:16:41,600 --> 00:16:44,320
Speaker 2: And you don't have your normal top ten, So the

361
00:16:44,360 --> 00:16:46,520
Speaker 2: guys that are normally in your middle of the first

362
00:16:46,600 --> 00:16:49,200
Speaker 2: round are going to be your top ten guys this year.

363
00:16:49,720 --> 00:16:50,360
Speaker 1: Here's a hint.

364
00:16:50,400 --> 00:16:52,600
Speaker 2: I'm working on a true round mock draft which will

365
00:16:52,600 --> 00:16:55,480
Speaker 2: be released on Essentially Sports later this week, and I'm

366
00:16:55,520 --> 00:16:56,480
Speaker 2: dealing with that, you know.

367
00:16:56,680 --> 00:16:57,960
Speaker 1: I mean, usually I.

368
00:16:57,920 --> 00:17:01,520
Speaker 2: Wouldn't have Makai Lemon as a first round pick, but

369
00:17:01,680 --> 00:17:02,880
Speaker 2: he is a first round pick.

370
00:17:02,880 --> 00:17:05,840
Speaker 1: You know, I kinda I like Carnell Tait a lot.

371
00:17:06,040 --> 00:17:09,240
Speaker 2: I just don't like him as a top fifteen pick,

372
00:17:09,359 --> 00:17:10,440
Speaker 2: is a top twelve pick.

373
00:17:10,480 --> 00:17:12,440
Speaker 1: But you know, you gotta fuck someone's got a good

374
00:17:12,480 --> 00:17:13,679
Speaker 1: pick there. Someone has that.

375
00:17:13,760 --> 00:17:17,080
Speaker 2: Oh, and you're exactly right in a situation with you know,

376
00:17:17,200 --> 00:17:21,160
Speaker 2: Jude Browery of Boston College. He could go earlier because

377
00:17:21,720 --> 00:17:24,639
Speaker 2: there are so few pure left tackles in this draft,

378
00:17:24,680 --> 00:17:27,040
Speaker 2: and a guy like Bowery could actually end up being

379
00:17:27,080 --> 00:17:30,639
Speaker 2: selected earlier than his grade warrants. Well, and there's our

380
00:17:30,680 --> 00:17:32,160
Speaker 2: topic for next week's show. If you have a two

381
00:17:32,200 --> 00:17:34,160
Speaker 2: round not coming out, Tony, that'll be next week show

382
00:17:34,200 --> 00:17:36,160
Speaker 2: right here on Draft season. See you make it easy,

383
00:17:36,240 --> 00:17:38,840
Speaker 2: especially since he got two weeks between the college football playoffs.

384
00:17:38,880 --> 00:17:40,400
Speaker 1: He gives us a nice topic for next week, which

385
00:17:40,440 --> 00:17:41,240
Speaker 1: is excellent, good stuff.

386
00:17:41,320 --> 00:17:44,159
Speaker 2: Didn't tell you that off topic after the show, but

387
00:17:44,320 --> 00:17:44,800
Speaker 2: there you go.

388
00:17:44,960 --> 00:17:46,800
Speaker 1: I was already trying to figure out what out this morning.

389
00:17:46,960 --> 00:17:48,760
Speaker 2: All right, there is one guy that I know you

390
00:17:48,800 --> 00:17:50,359
Speaker 2: do believe is going to be a left tackle in

391
00:17:50,400 --> 00:17:52,480
Speaker 2: the NFL, and we'll see him at mobile in the

392
00:17:52,520 --> 00:17:53,000
Speaker 2: Senior ball.

393
00:17:53,040 --> 00:17:53,680
Speaker 1: Isaiah World.

394
00:17:54,680 --> 00:17:57,600
Speaker 2: And this is Isaiah World's chance to move into the

395
00:17:57,640 --> 00:17:58,600
Speaker 2: bottom part of round one.

396
00:17:58,640 --> 00:17:59,280
Speaker 1: No doubt about it.

397
00:17:59,320 --> 00:18:02,240
Speaker 2: My opinion, he is the top pure left tackle in

398
00:18:02,280 --> 00:18:06,280
Speaker 2: this draft. He's answered every call this year. Transferred from Nevada,

399
00:18:06,520 --> 00:18:09,119
Speaker 2: he was really good from the beginning. We saw him

400
00:18:09,240 --> 00:18:11,320
Speaker 2: was early on. I was against Michigan. I forgot the

401
00:18:11,320 --> 00:18:15,399
Speaker 2: game that we talked about. The long arms, the mobile feet,

402
00:18:15,480 --> 00:18:19,640
Speaker 2: the ability to slide out. Really just a great pass protector.

403
00:18:19,840 --> 00:18:21,439
Speaker 2: Might have been Head State, it might have been the

404
00:18:21,440 --> 00:18:24,280
Speaker 2: Penn State CAMPI like, bright baby, yeahs exactly, thank you

405
00:18:25,119 --> 00:18:30,000
Speaker 2: against Dennis Dandy Sutton. And you know, listen, you go

406
00:18:30,080 --> 00:18:36,080
Speaker 2: to the Senior Bowl, quarterbacks, defensive tackles, cornerbacks and left tackles.

407
00:18:36,440 --> 00:18:38,720
Speaker 2: Left tackles, especially in those one on ones.

408
00:18:38,720 --> 00:18:39,240
Speaker 1: We saw it with.

409
00:18:39,200 --> 00:18:41,520
Speaker 2: Dewan Jones a couple of years ago. Everybody fell in

410
00:18:41,600 --> 00:18:43,720
Speaker 2: love with Dwan Jones. Wow, he's doing great at left tackle.

411
00:18:44,000 --> 00:18:46,040
Speaker 2: Here's a chance for Isaiah World. The three days of

412
00:18:46,040 --> 00:18:49,640
Speaker 2: practice at the Senior Bowl will be Isaiah World's opportunity

413
00:18:49,840 --> 00:18:51,640
Speaker 2: to move into the top thirty two picks.

414
00:18:51,680 --> 00:18:52,439
Speaker 1: No doubt about it.

415
00:18:52,480 --> 00:18:54,520
Speaker 2: If Moody's is a proud part of the New York Giants,

416
00:18:54,640 --> 00:18:57,840
Speaker 2: uniting the brightest minds that turn today's risks into tomorrow's opportunity.

417
00:18:57,880 --> 00:19:01,480
Speaker 2: He's learned more on Moody's Dot, of course, proud sponsor

418
00:19:01,560 --> 00:19:04,040
Speaker 2: of draft season. All right, let's go over to the

419
00:19:04,040 --> 00:19:07,440
Speaker 2: defensive side of the ball. Tony a bunch of declarations

420
00:19:07,440 --> 00:19:10,800
Speaker 2: on the defensive line. So we got Keldrick Falk. These

421
00:19:10,800 --> 00:19:12,440
Speaker 2: are all the guys that we talked about before the

422
00:19:12,520 --> 00:19:14,879
Speaker 2: years being top ten picks. We'll see how many end

423
00:19:15,000 --> 00:19:16,560
Speaker 2: up being top ten picks when we get to the

424
00:19:16,640 --> 00:19:18,359
Speaker 2: draft in four months. I think a couple of them

425
00:19:18,400 --> 00:19:22,000
Speaker 2: still will be. But we'll see Keldrick Falk out of Auburn, TJ.

426
00:19:22,119 --> 00:19:24,720
Speaker 2: Parker declares he's also going to the Senior Ball, which

427
00:19:24,720 --> 00:19:26,159
Speaker 2: will be exciting to see him in those one on

428
00:19:26,240 --> 00:19:29,040
Speaker 2: one drills. And then Peter Woods out of Clemson will

429
00:19:29,040 --> 00:19:31,359
Speaker 2: also be declaring. And we'll see if Falker Woods go

430
00:19:31,440 --> 00:19:33,119
Speaker 2: to one of the All Star Games. We have not

431
00:19:33,160 --> 00:19:37,000
Speaker 2: heard of any word on that yet. You know, it's

432
00:19:37,080 --> 00:19:39,880
Speaker 2: sort of like the offensive tackle position, and these guys

433
00:19:39,920 --> 00:19:42,680
Speaker 2: are very talented, but they didn't live up to expectations.

434
00:19:42,720 --> 00:19:44,520
Speaker 2: You know, Keldrick walk is still going to be an

435
00:19:44,520 --> 00:19:47,320
Speaker 2: early pick. He's like going to be a top ten pick.

436
00:19:48,000 --> 00:19:50,200
Speaker 2: I know you like him a lot. He's got great size,

437
00:19:50,200 --> 00:19:54,360
Speaker 2: he's very athletic. But you look, I mean, five tackles

438
00:19:54,359 --> 00:19:56,480
Speaker 2: for US and two sacks this year compared to eleven

439
00:19:56,560 --> 00:19:59,520
Speaker 2: tackles for US in seven sacks last year. That's gonna

440
00:19:59,520 --> 00:20:01,840
Speaker 2: be a big conversation come combine time. Teams are going

441
00:20:01,880 --> 00:20:04,720
Speaker 2: to want to know, why did your production basically slide

442
00:20:04,720 --> 00:20:07,280
Speaker 2: off a clip? You watched him in twenty twenty four.

443
00:20:07,520 --> 00:20:11,280
Speaker 2: He looked absolutely dominant, and rather than showing that in

444
00:20:11,359 --> 00:20:15,719
Speaker 2: every game this season, he was very spotty. So there's

445
00:20:15,760 --> 00:20:17,639
Speaker 2: gonna be that concern. Same thing with TJ.

446
00:20:17,760 --> 00:20:19,879
Speaker 1: Parker. It's even worse with TJ. Parker.

447
00:20:20,160 --> 00:20:22,480
Speaker 2: Nineteen and a half tackles for lost and eleven sacks

448
00:20:22,520 --> 00:20:25,480
Speaker 2: last year, this year nine and a half tackles for lost,

449
00:20:25,840 --> 00:20:29,840
Speaker 2: five sacks. You see the explosion, You see the athleticism.

450
00:20:30,160 --> 00:20:32,400
Speaker 2: Why didn't he get to the quarterback this year? Why

451
00:20:32,480 --> 00:20:34,879
Speaker 2: wasn't he making plays? That's gonna be a big topic

452
00:20:34,920 --> 00:20:38,240
Speaker 2: of a conversation. Everybody loves Peter Woods. He's one of

453
00:20:38,240 --> 00:20:41,679
Speaker 2: those really big bodied, athletic guys. I think he scored

454
00:20:41,720 --> 00:20:44,040
Speaker 2: two touchdowns this year for Clemson when they line them

455
00:20:44,119 --> 00:20:46,560
Speaker 2: up in the backfield. He's a guy who can dominate

456
00:20:46,600 --> 00:20:50,560
Speaker 2: the action. But again, like his teammate TJ. Parker, like

457
00:20:50,600 --> 00:20:53,600
Speaker 2: Antonio Williams, the receiver from Clemson. I mean, it was

458
00:20:53,720 --> 00:20:57,159
Speaker 2: very spotty this year, and he's probably gonna be a

459
00:20:57,240 --> 00:21:00,439
Speaker 2: very early selection, top ten pick because it's such a

460
00:21:00,480 --> 00:21:03,840
Speaker 2: bad year at defensive tackle. But there's risk in taking

461
00:21:03,880 --> 00:21:09,280
Speaker 2: a guy like Peter Woods. Yeah, there is, Tony. We'll

462
00:21:09,280 --> 00:21:11,480
Speaker 2: have to figure out if these guys can turn those

463
00:21:11,480 --> 00:21:13,359
Speaker 2: physical gifts into production, which is why I think for

464
00:21:13,359 --> 00:21:15,840
Speaker 2: a guy like TJ. Parker at the Senior Bowl, you

465
00:21:15,880 --> 00:21:18,760
Speaker 2: know that's the guy when you walk in there, you

466
00:21:18,840 --> 00:21:22,200
Speaker 2: want to see him own those one on one drills, right,

467
00:21:22,560 --> 00:21:25,520
Speaker 2: because this isn't a great offensive tackle class. To your point,

468
00:21:25,600 --> 00:21:28,280
Speaker 2: he should have the physical advantage in every one of

469
00:21:28,320 --> 00:21:29,960
Speaker 2: his matchups at the Senior Bowl. By the way, him

470
00:21:29,960 --> 00:21:31,800
Speaker 2: and Isaiah World, we can start previewing it now, that's

471
00:21:31,800 --> 00:21:33,720
Speaker 2: gonna be if they're on different teams or on the

472
00:21:33,760 --> 00:21:37,040
Speaker 2: same team rather in practice, that's gonna be a great matchup.

473
00:21:37,040 --> 00:21:38,959
Speaker 2: And they like to try to match those position groups up,

474
00:21:39,000 --> 00:21:41,800
Speaker 2: so you want to see a guy like Parker dominate

475
00:21:41,840 --> 00:21:43,679
Speaker 2: one on ones that the Senior was. If he doesn't,

476
00:21:44,200 --> 00:21:47,200
Speaker 2: people will be like, well, yeah, look, he didn't produce

477
00:21:47,240 --> 00:21:49,359
Speaker 2: during the regular season, and now in the All Star

478
00:21:49,400 --> 00:21:51,560
Speaker 2: Game he's not dominating either. People will see that as

479
00:21:51,560 --> 00:21:54,720
Speaker 2: a big red flag. The other reason it's good for

480
00:21:54,840 --> 00:21:57,280
Speaker 2: Parker to go to the Senior Bowl, And you know,

481
00:21:57,680 --> 00:22:00,480
Speaker 2: when we had a Fabiano from the Sea Bowl on

482
00:22:00,600 --> 00:22:04,240
Speaker 2: last week, he talked about the interviews. The interview process

483
00:22:04,359 --> 00:22:07,040
Speaker 2: at the Senior Bowl is geared to be like the

484
00:22:07,080 --> 00:22:09,960
Speaker 2: interview process at the Combine, but it's much more relaxed.

485
00:22:10,440 --> 00:22:13,199
Speaker 2: I mean, it's not the in your face screaming that

486
00:22:13,240 --> 00:22:16,040
Speaker 2: you get sometimes geared to Combine. So Parker can go

487
00:22:16,080 --> 00:22:18,480
Speaker 2: to the Senior Bowl and he can basically interview with

488
00:22:18,520 --> 00:22:21,480
Speaker 2: thirty two teams and he can knock out all those

489
00:22:21,520 --> 00:22:25,840
Speaker 2: Combine interviews in a more relaxed atmosphere where he's going

490
00:22:25,920 --> 00:22:29,120
Speaker 2: to be asked some pretty stressful and pretty uncomfortable questions

491
00:22:29,160 --> 00:22:32,320
Speaker 2: as to why didn't you produce this season? So, I

492
00:22:32,640 --> 00:22:35,639
Speaker 2: mean credit to him you mentioned on the field, but

493
00:22:35,760 --> 00:22:38,040
Speaker 2: all the field those interviews are going to be just

494
00:22:38,080 --> 00:22:40,960
Speaker 2: as important, and basically it'll be a box that he

495
00:22:41,000 --> 00:22:44,200
Speaker 2: can check moving towards the combine and eventually the draft

496
00:22:44,400 --> 00:22:45,879
Speaker 2: and then Tony one of the player will see go

497
00:22:45,920 --> 00:22:48,119
Speaker 2: into the Senior Bowl. Is one of the guys that

498
00:22:48,160 --> 00:22:49,800
Speaker 2: you really liked before the year. I know he has

499
00:22:49,840 --> 00:22:52,280
Speaker 2: disappointed you a little bit. Dennis Danny Sutton, the edge

500
00:22:52,320 --> 00:22:55,520
Speaker 2: rusher out of Penn State. Yeah, I mean I thought,

501
00:22:55,760 --> 00:22:58,080
Speaker 2: you know, last year he picked up the slack when

502
00:22:58,119 --> 00:23:01,600
Speaker 2: Abdul Carter was injured, especially in the college football playoffs.

503
00:23:02,040 --> 00:23:07,240
Speaker 1: He's tall, he's athletic, he's fast, but I mean, you know,

504
00:23:07,560 --> 00:23:10,000
Speaker 1: the play was spot His play was spoty this year,

505
00:23:10,040 --> 00:23:11,679
Speaker 1: and after he made the sack, it was like he

506
00:23:11,760 --> 00:23:14,159
Speaker 1: won the game for the team. Plays little going on

507
00:23:14,480 --> 00:23:16,399
Speaker 1: and he's flexing and he's cheering.

508
00:23:17,160 --> 00:23:20,119
Speaker 2: It was just a bad, bad look for what was

509
00:23:20,160 --> 00:23:24,280
Speaker 2: a very disappointing UH Penn State football team this year.

510
00:23:24,320 --> 00:23:26,920
Speaker 2: I'm sure he's gonna be ansked about it. I think

511
00:23:26,960 --> 00:23:30,320
Speaker 2: the world of his ability. I think he's got tremendous upside,

512
00:23:30,400 --> 00:23:32,679
Speaker 2: but I think he basically had a chance to be

513
00:23:32,720 --> 00:23:33,520
Speaker 2: a first round pick.

514
00:23:33,720 --> 00:23:36,280
Speaker 1: He's now going to be a Day two pick. The

515
00:23:36,320 --> 00:23:39,440
Speaker 1: Senior Bawl will give an opportunity to show those skills,

516
00:23:39,720 --> 00:23:42,320
Speaker 1: and again there's gonna be a lot of uncomfortable questions

517
00:23:42,400 --> 00:23:45,920
Speaker 1: asked during those during those interviews at the Senior Ball.

518
00:23:46,119 --> 00:23:48,240
Speaker 2: And then Tony one other declaration of player that I

519
00:23:48,240 --> 00:23:49,480
Speaker 2: don't think we've talked about here.

520
00:23:49,520 --> 00:23:54,880
Speaker 1: Tell us about Anto Saka from Northwestern. I mean he fits.

521
00:23:54,560 --> 00:23:57,800
Speaker 2: In with Balk and Parker and Woods, Dennis, Dandy Sutton,

522
00:23:57,840 --> 00:24:02,240
Speaker 2: that high expectations coming in season and just failed. I mean,

523
00:24:02,640 --> 00:24:06,120
Speaker 2: I'm surprised he entered the draft, and I was told

524
00:24:06,160 --> 00:24:08,160
Speaker 2: that he likes college football, so I don't know what

525
00:24:08,480 --> 00:24:12,240
Speaker 2: the thought process. You watch the film on Sokka in

526
00:24:12,280 --> 00:24:15,320
Speaker 2: twenty twenty four, You're like, Wow, this guy is just

527
00:24:15,320 --> 00:24:18,119
Speaker 2: gonna have a breakout season. He looks like an explosive

528
00:24:18,119 --> 00:24:20,719
Speaker 2: pass rusher who could come out of a three point stance,

529
00:24:21,080 --> 00:24:25,240
Speaker 2: standover tackle, good change in direction, making plays in space.

530
00:24:25,960 --> 00:24:29,280
Speaker 2: Was injured this year, but still was he basically non existent?

531
00:24:29,400 --> 00:24:33,960
Speaker 2: Thirteen tackles, four tackles for lost, three sacks, almost identical

532
00:24:34,040 --> 00:24:37,120
Speaker 2: numbers from a year ago. Really didn't improve his game

533
00:24:37,160 --> 00:24:39,480
Speaker 2: at all. I am shocked that he entered the drip.

534
00:24:39,680 --> 00:24:42,479
Speaker 2: I gotta find out, you know what the underlying reason was.

535
00:24:43,080 --> 00:24:47,200
Speaker 2: I think he has top sixty potential, but I think

536
00:24:47,240 --> 00:24:50,359
Speaker 2: based off of his play in twenty twenty five, unless

537
00:24:50,359 --> 00:24:52,679
Speaker 2: somebody really falls in love with him and he knocks

538
00:24:52,680 --> 00:24:55,520
Speaker 2: the testing out of the out of the park. I

539
00:24:55,560 --> 00:24:57,640
Speaker 2: think he's a Day three pick in the twenty twenty

540
00:24:57,640 --> 00:24:59,960
Speaker 2: six drafts. He could be a real fun he could

541
00:25:00,160 --> 00:25:01,560
Speaker 2: be a jem. He could be one of those feels.

542
00:25:02,160 --> 00:25:04,800
Speaker 2: And then you factor in, as we pumped about, this

543
00:25:04,840 --> 00:25:07,720
Speaker 2: is a loaded pass rusher clips and there are gonna

544
00:25:07,720 --> 00:25:09,240
Speaker 2: be people who are gonna be pushed down and people

545
00:25:09,240 --> 00:25:11,760
Speaker 2: who fall through the cracks, and Soak.

546
00:25:11,720 --> 00:25:12,879
Speaker 1: Is gonna be one of those guys.

547
00:25:13,200 --> 00:25:15,000
Speaker 2: It might be the only position where guys do get

548
00:25:15,000 --> 00:25:17,359
Speaker 2: pushed down everyone else everywhere else they might get pushed

549
00:25:17,400 --> 00:25:19,400
Speaker 2: up based on what the class looks like this year,

550
00:25:19,520 --> 00:25:21,639
Speaker 2: So something to keep in mind. All right, let's go

551
00:25:21,680 --> 00:25:24,719
Speaker 2: to off ball linebacker here, Tony Anthony Hill out of Texas.

552
00:25:24,760 --> 00:25:27,720
Speaker 2: We've talked about him a lot. Here he declared in

553
00:25:27,840 --> 00:25:30,720
Speaker 2: On Carter out of Tennessee. The linebacker he declared. And

554
00:25:30,720 --> 00:25:33,159
Speaker 2: then Harold Perkins will be heading to the Shrine Bowl. Yeah, well,

555
00:25:33,200 --> 00:25:35,240
Speaker 2: it gon be interesting to see Harold Perkins how he's

556
00:25:35,280 --> 00:25:37,639
Speaker 2: used if he plays at the shrin Ball Fingers crossed

557
00:25:37,640 --> 00:25:40,120
Speaker 2: because we know what's happened with the some of those

558
00:25:40,119 --> 00:25:42,679
Speaker 2: guys in the past. Hopefully he's out there. Like to

559
00:25:42,680 --> 00:25:45,680
Speaker 2: see him and coverage against the tallest tight ends. How

560
00:25:45,720 --> 00:25:50,800
Speaker 2: he does Anthony Hill, that comes up a slightly disappointing season,

561
00:25:51,200 --> 00:25:52,879
Speaker 2: but at the top of his game, he is just

562
00:25:52,920 --> 00:25:59,040
Speaker 2: an intense, fiery, fast, great off ball space linebacker. And

563
00:25:59,119 --> 00:26:02,840
Speaker 2: you mentioned car I mean interesting guy who entered the draft.

564
00:26:03,119 --> 00:26:05,280
Speaker 2: I know coming into the season he was graded as

565
00:26:05,280 --> 00:26:08,720
Speaker 2: a mid fourth round choice by some of the scouting services.

566
00:26:08,800 --> 00:26:11,480
Speaker 2: I watched them over the summer. I was like, Okay,

567
00:26:11,520 --> 00:26:15,280
Speaker 2: he's nice. Didn't have a great season. You know again,

568
00:26:16,200 --> 00:26:19,479
Speaker 2: just like Sokka, the pass rusher is likely to get

569
00:26:19,560 --> 00:26:22,000
Speaker 2: pushed down. As we talked about, this is a great

570
00:26:22,440 --> 00:26:24,720
Speaker 2: linebacker and that's what Carter is. And he's coming off

571
00:26:24,760 --> 00:26:27,440
Speaker 2: an average season. He looks more like a two down

572
00:26:27,480 --> 00:26:29,560
Speaker 2: guy who's best out of the field. So he's a

573
00:26:29,600 --> 00:26:32,480
Speaker 2: guy that's very likely to get pushed down into the

574
00:26:32,560 --> 00:26:35,520
Speaker 2: later rounds because he really didn't stand out this year.

575
00:26:35,720 --> 00:26:38,199
Speaker 2: He's got some potential, just didn't see it on a

576
00:26:38,200 --> 00:26:40,919
Speaker 2: consistent basis in twenty twenty five. Yeah, you're right, all

577
00:26:40,920 --> 00:26:42,679
Speaker 2: fall linebacker is one of those other spots, I might

578
00:26:42,720 --> 00:26:44,920
Speaker 2: see good players push down because of the depth there.

579
00:26:45,000 --> 00:26:47,240
Speaker 2: All right, let's go to the defensive backfield here, Tony.

580
00:26:47,280 --> 00:26:49,320
Speaker 2: We got a bunch of guys that we talked about

581
00:26:49,320 --> 00:26:51,879
Speaker 2: a lot this year. Many of these guys were highly

582
00:26:51,880 --> 00:26:53,440
Speaker 2: regardless prospects before the season.

583
00:26:53,440 --> 00:26:54,560
Speaker 1: We have some declarations.

584
00:26:54,560 --> 00:26:58,239
Speaker 2: Avion Terrell obviously the younger brother of AJ Terrell from

585
00:26:58,280 --> 00:27:01,560
Speaker 2: the Falcons, former Clemson quarterback as well. He's setting into

586
00:27:01,600 --> 00:27:04,760
Speaker 2: the NFL draft. Brandon Siay something we've talked about here

587
00:27:04,880 --> 00:27:07,399
Speaker 2: from South Carolina. He's setting into the NFL draft. So

588
00:27:07,400 --> 00:27:10,479
Speaker 2: it was Jalen Kilgore's teammate, and then Jamal McCoy out

589
00:27:10,480 --> 00:27:13,719
Speaker 2: of Tennessee, who's dealing with that knee injury. I mean,

590
00:27:13,800 --> 00:27:16,320
Speaker 2: Charrell's a terrific cornerback as far as I'm concern, makes

591
00:27:16,359 --> 00:27:18,480
Speaker 2: plays with his back to the ball. Obaously gonna be

592
00:27:18,480 --> 00:27:21,480
Speaker 2: about five to ten and change back. He doesn't play small,

593
00:27:21,520 --> 00:27:23,640
Speaker 2: he plays big football. But you know, when you're going

594
00:27:23,720 --> 00:27:26,960
Speaker 2: up against those six to three receivers, is a little

595
00:27:26,960 --> 00:27:29,639
Speaker 2: bit tougher. Although D'Angelo Ponds showed us differently in that

596
00:27:29,720 --> 00:27:33,119
Speaker 2: Big Ten title game Fitney, but I like Drew I

597
00:27:33,160 --> 00:27:35,560
Speaker 2: think he's a dep in a first round pick. Cisay

598
00:27:35,760 --> 00:27:39,119
Speaker 2: is a great athlete, developing cornerback. He's got to refine

599
00:27:39,160 --> 00:27:41,840
Speaker 2: his skills. If you watch him play too many times

600
00:27:41,880 --> 00:27:45,600
Speaker 2: he's making plays or defending passes with his ketchup speed,

601
00:27:45,600 --> 00:27:48,920
Speaker 2: with his recovery speed, rather than with refined ball skills.

602
00:27:49,280 --> 00:27:52,080
Speaker 2: Kilgore is a guy I liked coming into the season.

603
00:27:52,320 --> 00:27:56,239
Speaker 2: You know, one of those gigantic defensive backs, cornerbacks that

604
00:27:56,240 --> 00:27:58,760
Speaker 2: we've seen through the years, come out of South Carolina.

605
00:27:58,840 --> 00:28:01,120
Speaker 2: I think he's a potential Day two pick. He's got

606
00:28:01,119 --> 00:28:04,240
Speaker 2: some upside. And McCoy, I mean there were times in

607
00:28:04,280 --> 00:28:08,479
Speaker 2: twenty twenty four where McCoy looked great, I mean smooth

608
00:28:08,560 --> 00:28:11,320
Speaker 2: off the line in transition, flipping his hips, ran down

609
00:28:11,400 --> 00:28:14,480
Speaker 2: field with his receiver he was covering, got his head

610
00:28:14,560 --> 00:28:17,160
Speaker 2: back around, made plays on the ball. But he's coming

611
00:28:17,160 --> 00:28:19,119
Speaker 2: off a knee injury and he didn't take a snap

612
00:28:19,520 --> 00:28:22,760
Speaker 2: this past season. So you know, you mentioned the Shannon

613
00:28:22,840 --> 00:28:25,840
Speaker 2: Revel comparison a week ago, and I think you're spot

614
00:28:25,880 --> 00:28:28,040
Speaker 2: on with that. I mean, Revel was a guy who

615
00:28:28,080 --> 00:28:30,959
Speaker 2: was highly rated, played a few good games in twenty

616
00:28:31,080 --> 00:28:33,960
Speaker 2: twenty four, went and what the third round in twenty

617
00:28:34,000 --> 00:28:36,440
Speaker 2: twenty three. Will have to see with McCoy A lot

618
00:28:36,440 --> 00:28:38,680
Speaker 2: of it's obviously going to depend on those medicals at

619
00:28:38,680 --> 00:28:40,760
Speaker 2: the combine which we know nothing about.

620
00:28:41,160 --> 00:28:43,040
Speaker 1: And then Tony, this just came out today. I'm putting

621
00:28:43,080 --> 00:28:43,640
Speaker 1: you on the spot here.

622
00:28:43,640 --> 00:28:46,560
Speaker 2: I apologize will Lee, the cornerback out of Texas A

623
00:28:46,640 --> 00:28:48,720
Speaker 2: and M he will be going to the Senior Ball.

624
00:28:48,720 --> 00:28:50,000
Speaker 1: One thing, if you have anything on him.

625
00:28:50,760 --> 00:28:53,520
Speaker 2: Lee was a guy who was highly rated by scouts

626
00:28:53,560 --> 00:28:55,320
Speaker 2: coming into the year. When I say highly rated a

627
00:28:55,400 --> 00:28:58,280
Speaker 2: day two pick, I never saw it on film. I

628
00:28:58,360 --> 00:29:02,120
Speaker 2: had a more as a fourth fifth row prospect. Really

629
00:29:02,160 --> 00:29:07,640
Speaker 2: didn't really didn't impress me. This year, we'll talk about

630
00:29:07,720 --> 00:29:11,040
Speaker 2: him in the matchup between Texas A and M and Miami.

631
00:29:11,320 --> 00:29:13,120
Speaker 2: I think it's a good move for him to go

632
00:29:13,160 --> 00:29:15,280
Speaker 2: to the Senior Ball. We talk about the one on

633
00:29:15,280 --> 00:29:18,280
Speaker 2: ones with pass rushers in the tackles. As we both know,

634
00:29:18,600 --> 00:29:21,320
Speaker 2: it's just as enjoyable and you get so much, so

635
00:29:21,440 --> 00:29:24,000
Speaker 2: much out of watching those one on ones between the

636
00:29:24,040 --> 00:29:27,360
Speaker 2: defensive backs and the receivers. Willie's really gonna have to

637
00:29:27,400 --> 00:29:29,880
Speaker 2: step it up during those jolls because I think it

638
00:29:29,920 --> 00:29:31,840
Speaker 2: was disappointing in twenty twenty five.

639
00:29:32,040 --> 00:29:32,840
Speaker 1: It's funny we talked.

640
00:29:33,080 --> 00:29:35,160
Speaker 2: You mentioned this a couple of times, your Fabiana choose

641
00:29:35,200 --> 00:29:37,120
Speaker 2: the new executive director of the Senior Bowl. You guys

642
00:29:37,120 --> 00:29:38,920
Speaker 2: should go check that out on last week's episode if

643
00:29:38,920 --> 00:29:40,959
Speaker 2: you haven't watched it, and you talked about how they

644
00:29:40,960 --> 00:29:42,880
Speaker 2: were kind of holding back some of the invitations on

645
00:29:42,920 --> 00:29:44,800
Speaker 2: the teams that were in the college football playoffs, while

646
00:29:44,800 --> 00:29:46,840
Speaker 2: lot of those teams must have handled them out this

647
00:29:46,880 --> 00:29:48,280
Speaker 2: week because a lot of these guys that are in

648
00:29:48,320 --> 00:29:51,960
Speaker 2: the playoffs have been accepting some of those invitations. Speaking

649
00:29:52,000 --> 00:29:54,480
Speaker 2: of which, let's get into some of those matchups. Tony

650
00:29:54,920 --> 00:30:00,440
Speaker 2: Oregon is taking on James Madison. I mean, we need

651
00:30:00,480 --> 00:30:03,040
Speaker 2: to get into the politics of the college football playoffs here,

652
00:30:03,080 --> 00:30:05,600
Speaker 2: but I wish we had didn't have two games this

653
00:30:05,640 --> 00:30:07,800
Speaker 2: week that we all assume were just going to be blowouts.

654
00:30:07,840 --> 00:30:09,280
Speaker 2: This is one of them. And this is no offense

655
00:30:09,320 --> 00:30:12,320
Speaker 2: to James Madison. Is not their fault. They played good football.

656
00:30:12,360 --> 00:30:14,200
Speaker 2: They're a good football team. Is just a different type

657
00:30:14,200 --> 00:30:17,480
Speaker 2: of athlete. That's on James Madison, that's on Oregon. It's

658
00:30:17,480 --> 00:30:19,960
Speaker 2: just the way it is. What are some of the

659
00:30:19,960 --> 00:30:22,000
Speaker 2: things you're keeping an eye on in this game? And

660
00:30:22,360 --> 00:30:24,800
Speaker 2: to compound the situation, the James Madison coach is now

661
00:30:24,840 --> 00:30:27,440
Speaker 2: at UCLA and the James Madison coach is a large

662
00:30:27,440 --> 00:30:29,440
Speaker 2: part of the reason why they're in the college football

663
00:30:29,440 --> 00:30:31,720
Speaker 2: playoffs because he got them to play above their head.

664
00:30:31,920 --> 00:30:34,360
Speaker 2: I mean, there really are at too many matchups on this,

665
00:30:34,720 --> 00:30:38,520
Speaker 2: but watch Pat McMurtry, who is the JMU right tackle,

666
00:30:39,040 --> 00:30:41,880
Speaker 2: a guy who was basically greeted as a reject coming

667
00:30:41,920 --> 00:30:44,680
Speaker 2: in the season. He's played very, very well. You're gonna

668
00:30:44,680 --> 00:30:46,440
Speaker 2: see him in a postseason All Star game. We could

669
00:30:46,480 --> 00:30:48,840
Speaker 2: see him at the combine those times he goes up

670
00:30:48,880 --> 00:30:52,840
Speaker 2: against Matteo Ugulelei, the pass rusher out of Oregon who

671
00:30:53,000 --> 00:30:55,640
Speaker 2: often lines up over left tackle. If he lines up

672
00:30:55,680 --> 00:30:59,160
Speaker 2: over right tackle, watch that matchup. See how McMurtry does

673
00:30:59,440 --> 00:31:01,360
Speaker 2: beat Chill A big opportunity for him.

674
00:31:01,440 --> 00:31:01,600
Speaker 1: Dan.

675
00:31:01,640 --> 00:31:03,760
Speaker 2: I think you just want to see Dante Moore be dominant, right,

676
00:31:03,800 --> 00:31:05,800
Speaker 2: I mean in this game as a quarterback as he

677
00:31:05,880 --> 00:31:08,120
Speaker 2: makes his decision. Curious if you have any more intel

678
00:31:08,160 --> 00:31:09,840
Speaker 2: on that, Tony, if he's gonna go into the draft

679
00:31:09,920 --> 00:31:13,160
Speaker 2: or not. And look, if he just as a blow

680
00:31:13,160 --> 00:31:16,080
Speaker 2: it up college football playoffs, maybe he could even make

681
00:31:16,160 --> 00:31:18,720
Speaker 2: up some ground on Mendoza to be the first quarterback taken,

682
00:31:18,720 --> 00:31:21,600
Speaker 2: depending on the team you talk to. I'm curious to

683
00:31:21,640 --> 00:31:24,840
Speaker 2: see how this goes for him and how that impacts

684
00:31:24,840 --> 00:31:27,680
Speaker 2: his thought process and whether or not he's gonna come out.

685
00:31:28,280 --> 00:31:30,200
Speaker 2: You know, it'll be a good game for him if

686
00:31:30,240 --> 00:31:32,600
Speaker 2: he's not playing in the fourth quarter, because that games

687
00:31:32,680 --> 00:31:34,960
Speaker 2: that ergan up and you might as well not play it.

688
00:31:35,240 --> 00:31:37,160
Speaker 2: I will tell you this, and there's gonna be an

689
00:31:37,280 --> 00:31:39,800
Speaker 2: article on it at the essentially sports dot com. The

690
00:31:39,840 --> 00:31:42,760
Speaker 2: information I received as of Monday of this week is

691
00:31:43,480 --> 00:31:46,800
Speaker 2: the belief is if he's a top five pick, top

692
00:31:46,840 --> 00:31:49,720
Speaker 2: three pick, he will enter the draft. That's what the

693
00:31:49,920 --> 00:31:52,000
Speaker 2: that's the latest word I got. And when you look

694
00:31:52,000 --> 00:31:54,360
Speaker 2: at the draft order, you look at the teams in

695
00:31:54,440 --> 00:31:57,760
Speaker 2: the top five that need quarterbacks. I believe Dante more

696
00:31:57,920 --> 00:31:59,040
Speaker 2: will be a top five pick.

697
00:32:00,120 --> 00:32:00,360
Speaker 1: Yeah.

698
00:32:00,480 --> 00:32:03,200
Speaker 2: I think given what we're looking at now, between the

699
00:32:03,280 --> 00:32:04,920
Speaker 2: Jets and the Raiders, I think would be the two

700
00:32:04,920 --> 00:32:07,640
Speaker 2: teams that that that you're kind of yeah, and the Browns.

701
00:32:07,800 --> 00:32:09,360
Speaker 1: I mean on the brands, right for sure?

702
00:32:09,400 --> 00:32:13,720
Speaker 2: Are you going to you know, have carry dors Sanders

703
00:32:13,760 --> 00:32:17,640
Speaker 2: carry that franchise? I mean, listen, credit to Shird dors Sanders.

704
00:32:17,960 --> 00:32:21,040
Speaker 2: He's played relatively well, but you know, not this week.

705
00:32:21,320 --> 00:32:23,520
Speaker 2: Quarterback in the future. Yeah, and then he had has

706
00:32:23,520 --> 00:32:25,560
Speaker 2: struggled this week as well. But yeah, I mean, I

707
00:32:25,600 --> 00:32:27,680
Speaker 2: think all three of those teams would certainly be interested

708
00:32:28,360 --> 00:32:30,960
Speaker 2: if the right quarterback is there. All right, let's jump

709
00:32:30,960 --> 00:32:33,840
Speaker 2: to Alabama Oklahoma. We're front of the program. Jim Naggy's

710
00:32:33,880 --> 00:32:37,320
Speaker 2: Oklahoma suitors are taking on the Alabama Crimson Tide and

711
00:32:37,360 --> 00:32:41,240
Speaker 2: Alabama has not closed the season well, Tony, they get

712
00:32:41,280 --> 00:32:44,320
Speaker 2: slacked by Georgia and the SEC Championship game time Simpson

713
00:32:44,360 --> 00:32:47,200
Speaker 2: does not look good. They have negative rushing yards in

714
00:32:47,240 --> 00:32:50,120
Speaker 2: the game, which just think of Alabama and that negative

715
00:32:50,200 --> 00:32:52,320
Speaker 2: rushing yards and an SEC title game against Georgia.

716
00:32:52,360 --> 00:32:53,160
Speaker 1: It's like unheard of.

717
00:32:54,000 --> 00:32:57,920
Speaker 2: And Ty Simpson, who had a rough last half of

718
00:32:57,960 --> 00:33:00,280
Speaker 2: the year after the first half of the year making

719
00:33:00,320 --> 00:33:01,680
Speaker 2: both of us think of him, is maybe he could

720
00:33:01,680 --> 00:33:03,000
Speaker 2: be the top quarterback in the draft.

721
00:33:04,760 --> 00:33:06,360
Speaker 1: He has a decision to make as well.

722
00:33:06,760 --> 00:33:08,760
Speaker 2: I think it's a pretty easy one unless these last

723
00:33:08,760 --> 00:33:11,320
Speaker 2: three games just looked completely different than what the last

724
00:33:11,320 --> 00:33:12,160
Speaker 2: six ones look like.

725
00:33:12,640 --> 00:33:15,560
Speaker 1: But we'll see. Oklova's got a really good defense, so

726
00:33:15,560 --> 00:33:16,440
Speaker 1: it's not gonna be easy.

727
00:33:16,920 --> 00:33:21,600
Speaker 2: And Alabama's downfall ironically started against Oklahoma in that game

728
00:33:21,640 --> 00:33:25,600
Speaker 2: in early November in Norman, where it was a close

729
00:33:25,680 --> 00:33:29,840
Speaker 2: game on the scoreboard, but the Oklahoma defense really ate

730
00:33:29,920 --> 00:33:32,880
Speaker 2: up ty Simpson, who struggled to move. Alabama kept him

731
00:33:32,920 --> 00:33:34,800
Speaker 2: in the game for a little while. But that was

732
00:33:35,160 --> 00:33:39,000
Speaker 2: you mentioned. The you mentioned the game against Georgia and

733
00:33:39,040 --> 00:33:41,400
Speaker 2: nas See title game was the Oklahoma game, and then

734
00:33:41,400 --> 00:33:44,120
Speaker 2: he played terribly against Auburn and they had to pull

735
00:33:44,120 --> 00:33:47,480
Speaker 2: that game out in the last minute. Again, Oklahoma has

736
00:33:47,480 --> 00:33:50,400
Speaker 2: a terrific pass rush, both on the edges and on

737
00:33:50,440 --> 00:33:53,360
Speaker 2: the inside. They've got a good secondary. This is going

738
00:33:53,440 --> 00:33:56,120
Speaker 2: to be a major test, not only for ty Simpson,

739
00:33:56,320 --> 00:33:59,440
Speaker 2: but for Cayden Proctor, who's also struggled with left tackle.

740
00:33:59,520 --> 00:34:01,720
Speaker 2: I don't see Caden Proctor is left tackle, I said

741
00:34:01,720 --> 00:34:03,840
Speaker 2: all wont I think he's a right tackle, but he's

742
00:34:03,880 --> 00:34:07,280
Speaker 2: just does not look good at all at the tackle spot.

743
00:34:08,320 --> 00:34:11,160
Speaker 2: Is this an opportunity for these guys to make amends

744
00:34:11,640 --> 00:34:15,120
Speaker 2: or they're gonna continue down the path of playing not

745
00:34:15,280 --> 00:34:17,680
Speaker 2: very good football if they get beat up by Oklahoma

746
00:34:17,719 --> 00:34:19,799
Speaker 2: as they did the first game, Tony, do we think

747
00:34:19,840 --> 00:34:21,719
Speaker 2: we could see Proctor be a guard to I know

748
00:34:21,760 --> 00:34:23,080
Speaker 2: you think he's more of a right tackle.

749
00:34:23,200 --> 00:34:24,120
Speaker 1: You know, we saw that.

750
00:34:24,160 --> 00:34:28,719
Speaker 2: We've seen the Ravens turn file Lele, the gigantic Minnesota

751
00:34:28,760 --> 00:34:31,279
Speaker 2: tackle from a few years ago, into a guard. I

752
00:34:31,280 --> 00:34:34,600
Speaker 2: mean physically, just in terms of size, he's very similar

753
00:34:34,600 --> 00:34:38,479
Speaker 2: to what Caden Proctor is. I wonder do you think

754
00:34:38,719 --> 00:34:41,120
Speaker 2: some NFL teams could look at Proctor as a guard.

755
00:34:41,640 --> 00:34:42,560
Speaker 1: I'm sure they would.

756
00:34:42,800 --> 00:34:45,000
Speaker 2: I would say that I think Proctor is a better

757
00:34:45,120 --> 00:34:46,600
Speaker 2: tackle than Falle was.

758
00:34:47,320 --> 00:34:49,759
Speaker 1: When I hear that, yep uh.

759
00:34:49,800 --> 00:34:52,920
Speaker 2: And my belief is you leave him at tackle until

760
00:34:52,920 --> 00:34:55,759
Speaker 2: they can't play tackle. You gotta fight, you gotta ship

761
00:34:55,800 --> 00:34:58,000
Speaker 2: them inside. But of course, I mean there will be

762
00:34:58,040 --> 00:35:01,760
Speaker 2: teams and remember, you know Proctor has struggled at times

763
00:35:01,760 --> 00:35:05,080
Speaker 2: that left tackle. He moves incredibly well. So if you

764
00:35:05,120 --> 00:35:07,719
Speaker 2: want a bigger guard that shows the ability to get

765
00:35:07,760 --> 00:35:10,120
Speaker 2: out of the second level and take winebackers out of

766
00:35:10,160 --> 00:35:13,880
Speaker 2: the action, he could be your guy. Yeah, no question

767
00:35:13,960 --> 00:35:15,879
Speaker 2: about it. All right, Toty, let's go to two lane

768
00:35:15,880 --> 00:35:18,360
Speaker 2: and all miss. We saw this game mid season and

769
00:35:18,400 --> 00:35:21,480
Speaker 2: o'll miss destroy Tulane. But you like their quarterback a

770
00:35:21,520 --> 00:35:24,600
Speaker 2: little bit? Yeah, I mean, Jay Rexliff. You know the story.

771
00:35:24,640 --> 00:35:27,400
Speaker 2: He was at EYU last year, had a good season

772
00:35:27,400 --> 00:35:30,920
Speaker 2: at BYU, broke the code of conduct, was dismissed from

773
00:35:30,920 --> 00:35:32,600
Speaker 2: the team, went to Tulane.

774
00:35:32,920 --> 00:35:34,120
Speaker 1: Now Tulane, they win the.

775
00:35:34,040 --> 00:35:39,040
Speaker 2: American Athletic Conference, They're in the College football playoffs. He's

776
00:35:39,080 --> 00:35:43,160
Speaker 2: a smart, methodical quarterback, decent arm, not a great arm,

777
00:35:43,520 --> 00:35:47,120
Speaker 2: doesn't make a bad decisions. But again, I mean, he's

778
00:35:47,120 --> 00:35:50,160
Speaker 2: not playing Memphis here, he's not playing Navy, he's not

779
00:35:50,160 --> 00:35:55,359
Speaker 2: playing Temple, He's playing Mississippi again. So basically a chance

780
00:35:55,400 --> 00:35:57,760
Speaker 2: for him to make amends from that first game you mentioned.

781
00:35:58,560 --> 00:36:00,319
Speaker 1: Yeah, and then let's jump to the final game.

782
00:36:00,360 --> 00:36:03,440
Speaker 2: And this is what I'm probably most excited about, Miami

783
00:36:03,480 --> 00:36:05,000
Speaker 2: and Texas A and m It should be a really

784
00:36:05,000 --> 00:36:08,839
Speaker 2: good game between two teams that you know, Miami closed

785
00:36:08,880 --> 00:36:11,400
Speaker 2: the season well after the slow start, Texas A and

786
00:36:11,520 --> 00:36:13,480
Speaker 2: m at that disappointing end of the year, couldn't get

787
00:36:13,480 --> 00:36:14,680
Speaker 2: into the SEC title game.

788
00:36:14,760 --> 00:36:16,840
Speaker 1: Right, Let's start up front.

789
00:36:17,200 --> 00:36:20,000
Speaker 2: Cassius Howell, who I think is one of the risers

790
00:36:20,000 --> 00:36:22,200
Speaker 2: in this year's draft class, really came on strong and

791
00:36:22,200 --> 00:36:25,439
Speaker 2: played well. And he's gonna go against Francis Manwiinoa who

792
00:36:25,480 --> 00:36:27,360
Speaker 2: I know a lot of people see as a guard

793
00:36:27,480 --> 00:36:29,640
Speaker 2: heading into the National Football League, but he'll obviously be

794
00:36:29,640 --> 00:36:32,520
Speaker 2: playing tackle this week. Yeah, he's guard because he's a

795
00:36:32,520 --> 00:36:34,520
Speaker 2: little bit short. He doesn't have that tackle hype. But

796
00:36:34,560 --> 00:36:37,200
Speaker 2: both these guys are athletic, mobile guys. You talk about

797
00:36:37,200 --> 00:36:40,399
Speaker 2: Howard great up the field, great closing burst, but can

798
00:36:40,440 --> 00:36:42,680
Speaker 2: also play off the line of scrimmage. You want to

799
00:36:42,719 --> 00:36:45,000
Speaker 2: drop him off the line in space on zone Blitzasy

800
00:36:45,040 --> 00:36:48,600
Speaker 2: does a good job, gets out laterally in pursuit chasing down.

801
00:36:48,480 --> 00:36:50,279
Speaker 1: Running backs, does a terrific job there.

802
00:36:50,680 --> 00:36:54,040
Speaker 2: Maragoa is an athletic right tackle who may be able

803
00:36:54,040 --> 00:36:55,279
Speaker 2: to play on the left side if you want to

804
00:36:55,320 --> 00:36:58,239
Speaker 2: leave him at tackle. Good footwork, good movement skills, the

805
00:36:58,280 --> 00:37:00,680
Speaker 2: ability to get out to the second level, block in motion,

806
00:37:00,960 --> 00:37:06,160
Speaker 2: good lateral range. He's not your traditional stiff, tight right tackle.

807
00:37:06,400 --> 00:37:09,720
Speaker 2: He's more your Lane Johnson athletic type at right tackle.

808
00:37:09,960 --> 00:37:12,799
Speaker 2: So if they are massed up, or when they are

809
00:37:12,800 --> 00:37:15,879
Speaker 2: massed up, you got two really good athletes, two really

810
00:37:15,920 --> 00:37:19,480
Speaker 2: good football players with similar types of traits going against

811
00:37:19,520 --> 00:37:20,000
Speaker 2: one another.

812
00:37:20,520 --> 00:37:22,320
Speaker 1: All right, then let's flip it on the other side.

813
00:37:22,640 --> 00:37:24,640
Speaker 2: You want to go about the Miami pass rushers against

814
00:37:24,640 --> 00:37:26,560
Speaker 2: this offensive line for Texas A and M, which has

815
00:37:26,560 --> 00:37:29,120
Speaker 2: done a really nice job this year. Yeah, I mean

816
00:37:29,280 --> 00:37:32,439
Speaker 2: Trey Zoun's a left tackle, a guy who started since

817
00:37:32,440 --> 00:37:35,960
Speaker 2: he was a freshman. Not super athletic, not really big,

818
00:37:36,000 --> 00:37:37,240
Speaker 2: but he gets the job done.

819
00:37:37,400 --> 00:37:38,160
Speaker 1: He projects.

820
00:37:38,200 --> 00:37:41,240
Speaker 2: You know, you talk about tackles who project inside the guard.

821
00:37:41,360 --> 00:37:43,879
Speaker 2: That's definitely zoomed. When we see him in the postseason.

822
00:37:44,000 --> 00:37:45,879
Speaker 2: I believe he's going to be at the shrying game.

823
00:37:45,960 --> 00:37:48,120
Speaker 2: I may need to be correct on that he's going

824
00:37:48,200 --> 00:37:50,920
Speaker 2: to be playing guard or center, or both guard and center,

825
00:37:50,960 --> 00:37:53,280
Speaker 2: because that's where he projects. But he's a good pass

826
00:37:53,320 --> 00:37:57,560
Speaker 2: protector and Demitri to Maitrius Kronauer, their big right tackle,

827
00:37:57,560 --> 00:37:59,960
Speaker 2: has also done a solid job. Now he's going up

828
00:38:00,000 --> 00:38:02,359
Speaker 2: You're going up against Ruben Bain, who everybody loves. He's

829
00:38:02,360 --> 00:38:04,399
Speaker 2: going to be a top ten pick. Doesn't have great

830
00:38:04,400 --> 00:38:07,279
Speaker 2: stats this year, but you watch the film. He's explosive.

831
00:38:07,560 --> 00:38:10,960
Speaker 2: He's a natural edge rusher who has who's fast up

832
00:38:10,960 --> 00:38:13,880
Speaker 2: the field and can bend and alter his angle of attack,

833
00:38:14,160 --> 00:38:16,799
Speaker 2: and a key mesidor his teammate who doesn't get a

834
00:38:16,800 --> 00:38:19,560
Speaker 2: fraction of the headlines, but is also a really good

835
00:38:19,560 --> 00:38:22,759
Speaker 2: defensive end. Betasfis is a defensive end and a four

836
00:38:22,840 --> 00:38:25,440
Speaker 2: man front who gets a lot of force up the field.

837
00:38:25,480 --> 00:38:27,880
Speaker 2: He gets a lot of momentum going. He's been a

838
00:38:27,880 --> 00:38:31,280
Speaker 2: good player, had some injury issues at the Miami chose

839
00:38:31,320 --> 00:38:33,640
Speaker 2: to come back in twenty twenty five and it's worked

840
00:38:33,640 --> 00:38:36,560
Speaker 2: out perfectly. From so, the battles on the edges, the

841
00:38:36,560 --> 00:38:39,759
Speaker 2: battles between the tackles and the pass rushers. From my

842
00:38:39,960 --> 00:38:42,600
Speaker 2: when Miami has when I'm sorry, Texas A and m

843
00:38:42,640 --> 00:38:45,040
Speaker 2: has the ball is going to be one to watch, Tony.

844
00:38:45,080 --> 00:38:47,720
Speaker 2: Have you seen have you heard, rather from the people

845
00:38:47,719 --> 00:38:50,000
Speaker 2: you talk to around the league that some people might

846
00:38:50,040 --> 00:38:52,239
Speaker 2: see Bain as an interior pass rusher, as a free

847
00:38:52,280 --> 00:38:56,399
Speaker 2: technique rather than edge. I've heard potentially in the three

848
00:38:56,440 --> 00:38:58,400
Speaker 2: man line. I've heard in a three man line what

849
00:38:58,600 --> 00:39:00,759
Speaker 2: he used one gap systems, and what that means is

850
00:39:00,960 --> 00:39:03,800
Speaker 2: it's a three man line where you're where the linebacker

851
00:39:03,920 --> 00:39:06,360
Speaker 2: standing over tackle is basically up at the line of

852
00:39:06,360 --> 00:39:09,840
Speaker 2: scrimmage as opposed to a traditional three man line with

853
00:39:09,920 --> 00:39:13,640
Speaker 2: a two gap scheme. Interesting, all right, And then finally

854
00:39:13,640 --> 00:39:15,600
Speaker 2: you mentioned Will Lee already you like his matchup this

855
00:39:15,640 --> 00:39:20,000
Speaker 2: week against some of that Miami wide receiver corp DJ Daniels,

856
00:39:20,040 --> 00:39:22,880
Speaker 2: the former Liberty the transfer from Liberty. He's a bigger

857
00:39:22,920 --> 00:39:25,400
Speaker 2: possession wide out. I mean, Will Lee has got an

858
00:39:25,440 --> 00:39:29,840
Speaker 2: athletic advantage on CJ. Daniels, but Daniels has shown himself

859
00:39:29,840 --> 00:39:32,239
Speaker 2: to be a real good football player. Potential Day three pick.

860
00:39:32,560 --> 00:39:36,040
Speaker 2: Makes a lot of highlight reel type of receptions when

861
00:39:36,040 --> 00:39:38,359
Speaker 2: the passes are thrown by Beck. So it's going to

862
00:39:38,400 --> 00:39:39,680
Speaker 2: be a real good matchup.

863
00:39:40,000 --> 00:39:41,480
Speaker 1: You know. Again, Lee, going.

864
00:39:41,440 --> 00:39:43,960
Speaker 2: Back to what I said before, has had a disappointment season.

865
00:39:44,160 --> 00:39:47,160
Speaker 2: I think CJ. Daniels has played better than people expect.

866
00:39:47,719 --> 00:39:50,520
Speaker 2: It's just a chance for Will Lee to start to

867
00:39:50,560 --> 00:39:53,880
Speaker 2: reel it in and basically play to the level that

868
00:39:53,960 --> 00:39:55,280
Speaker 2: scouts story it was possible.

869
00:39:56,040 --> 00:39:58,239
Speaker 1: Hi, Tony, anything else you want to add here before

870
00:39:58,239 --> 00:40:00,759
Speaker 1: we say goodbye all the way around? Just one more.

871
00:40:01,840 --> 00:40:06,360
Speaker 2: Kyante Scott, the top nickelback from Miami. He's had a

872
00:40:06,400 --> 00:40:09,160
Speaker 2: foot injury. They're saying he's gonna play. Played really well

873
00:40:09,160 --> 00:40:12,279
Speaker 2: at Auburn for three years, transferred to Miami, played well

874
00:40:12,280 --> 00:40:15,359
Speaker 2: when he was healthy this season. Potential Day three pick

875
00:40:16,920 --> 00:40:19,000
Speaker 2: if he plays on the If he's on the field,

876
00:40:19,080 --> 00:40:20,840
Speaker 2: like I said, he's been suffering with the foot injury.

877
00:40:20,960 --> 00:40:23,000
Speaker 2: What is of yesterday was they expect them to play

878
00:40:23,280 --> 00:40:26,120
Speaker 2: going up against Casey concepts you one, in my opinion,

879
00:40:26,120 --> 00:40:30,000
Speaker 2: one of the most underrated skill players in the nation

880
00:40:30,400 --> 00:40:33,799
Speaker 2: as a receiver, as a return specialist. He's fast, he's quick,

881
00:40:33,880 --> 00:40:38,080
Speaker 2: he's exceptional running after the catch. So when that matchup,

882
00:40:38,680 --> 00:40:42,040
Speaker 2: you know, if that matchup comes to fruition, it's going

883
00:40:42,080 --> 00:40:44,320
Speaker 2: to be an interesting one to watch, Tony.

884
00:40:44,640 --> 00:40:47,800
Speaker 1: Tell the people what you have coming up on essentially sports.

885
00:40:47,760 --> 00:40:51,040
Speaker 2: Well, we'll have an interesting article about Dante Moore when

886
00:40:51,040 --> 00:40:54,359
Speaker 2: I'm hearing about his next level decision making as of

887
00:40:54,440 --> 00:40:57,719
Speaker 2: right now, will people people around them think? And as

888
00:40:57,719 --> 00:41:00,360
Speaker 2: I said earlier, we'll be discussing next week is my

889
00:41:00,440 --> 00:41:02,880
Speaker 2: true round mock draft, and I'm sure the long knives

890
00:41:02,920 --> 00:41:04,120
Speaker 2: will be out for that one.

891
00:41:04,400 --> 00:41:05,520
Speaker 1: Oh they always are, Tony.

892
00:41:05,600 --> 00:41:07,680
Speaker 2: We'll go through all of that on next week's Draft Season,

893
00:41:07,680 --> 00:41:10,279
Speaker 2: presented by Moody's, a proud partner of the New York

894
00:41:10,320 --> 00:41:12,600
Speaker 2: Football Giants. How's all the time we have for draft season, NaNs,

895

897
00:41:17,360 --> 00:41:19,600
Speaker 2: As we talk about his mock drafts and review a

898
00:41:19,719 --> 00:41:22,239
Speaker 2: weekend of college football. We'll talk to you then, have

899
00:41:22,280 --> 00:41:23,120
