And hey, 43 00:01:32,160 --> 00:01:34,600 Speaker 4: we're at Allegiance Stadium, which isn't bad either for our 44 00:01:34,640 --> 00:01:36,440 Speaker 4: practice in our games too. But really had the option 45 00:01:36,520 --> 00:01:38,680 Speaker 4: to kind of consider things for the super Bowl being there, 46 00:01:39,480 --> 00:01:41,960 Speaker 4: and we kind of reconsidered things. Actually, Dallas the finalist 47 00:01:42,040 --> 00:01:44,600 Speaker 4: last time around, and the city of Dallas and Frisco 48 00:01:44,840 --> 00:01:46,759 Speaker 4: really wanted us here. And I, you know, I don't 49 00:01:46,800 --> 00:01:48,320 Speaker 4: want to keep moving the game at all, But when 50 00:01:48,360 --> 00:01:50,360 Speaker 4: the city of Dallas was as aggressive as they were 51 00:01:50,360 --> 00:01:51,880 Speaker 4: and wanted us here, and we had the Star in 52 00:01:51,920 --> 00:01:54,240 Speaker 4: this hotel, it felt like a slamming opportunity to have 53 00:01:54,240 --> 00:01:55,320 Speaker 4: a new home for the long term. 54 00:01:55,520 --> 00:01:57,920 Speaker 2: Now you have your all star group of coaches here, right, 55 00:01:58,200 --> 00:02:00,640 Speaker 2: and a bunch of giant coaches are here. Mike Kaffick 56 00:02:00,760 --> 00:02:02,320 Speaker 2: is the head coach, one of the team, Angela Baker 57 00:02:02,320 --> 00:02:03,960 Speaker 2: a tight end coach. And then you didn't know what 58 00:02:03,960 --> 00:02:05,800 Speaker 2: at the time, but U of R now special teams 59 00:02:05,800 --> 00:02:06,440 Speaker 2: coordinator too. 60 00:02:06,440 --> 00:02:07,800 Speaker 1: Michael Gourbie on one of the teams. 61 00:02:07,960 --> 00:02:10,480 Speaker 2: What is it that attracted you to those coaches and 62 00:02:10,480 --> 00:02:11,919 Speaker 2: how's it been like working with them this week? 63 00:02:12,040 --> 00:02:14,800 Speaker 4: Yeah, you know, the NFL League office really helps solidify 64 00:02:14,840 --> 00:02:16,680 Speaker 4: and picks our coaching staffs. But I'm not gonna lie. 65 00:02:16,680 --> 00:02:19,399 Speaker 4: I really want to coach Kafka A. He's a rising star. 66 00:02:19,520 --> 00:02:21,079 Speaker 4: B We have a lot of mutual friends. But see 67 00:02:21,080 --> 00:02:23,200 Speaker 4: he played in the Shrine Bowl, what eleven twelve years ago, 68 00:02:23,480 --> 00:02:25,600 Speaker 4: and I think that story, aside him being a great 69 00:02:25,600 --> 00:02:27,519 Speaker 4: coach and he's done an awesome job this week so far. 70 00:02:27,840 --> 00:02:30,440 Speaker 4: That story really is what I think. I think players 71 00:02:30,480 --> 00:02:32,359 Speaker 4: want to hear that, right, Players wanted to hear from 72 00:02:32,360 --> 00:02:33,799 Speaker 4: guys who were in their shoes. We're part with the 73 00:02:33,880 --> 00:02:36,560 Speaker 4: NFLPA this year and we've had guys from Michael Vick 74 00:02:36,600 --> 00:02:38,640 Speaker 4: to late round picks. I think these players really resonate 75 00:02:38,680 --> 00:02:41,120 Speaker 4: when guys were in their shoes. But guys like Mike Kafka, 76 00:02:41,160 --> 00:02:43,200 Speaker 4: who were literally here at this game, know what the 77 00:02:43,240 --> 00:02:45,359 Speaker 4: hospital is all about and really add value there. I 78 00:02:45,360 --> 00:02:47,200 Speaker 4: think was super important for us to have him here 79 00:02:47,200 --> 00:02:48,959 Speaker 4: and we can be more thankful for coach Kaffeta. 80 00:02:48,960 --> 00:02:50,800 Speaker 3: It takes some time. He's a busy man these days. 81 00:02:50,600 --> 00:02:52,960 Speaker 4: As you guys well know, and for the nfla gofics 82 00:02:52,960 --> 00:02:53,880 Speaker 4: making sure he's here for us. 83 00:02:54,040 --> 00:02:54,160 Speaker 5: Well. 84 00:02:54,240 --> 00:02:57,560 Speaker 6: John talks about picking the coaching staff. What was the 85 00:02:57,720 --> 00:03:01,480 Speaker 6: roster situation, Like, you know, with all the NILS kids 86 00:03:01,520 --> 00:03:03,720 Speaker 6: going back, you had the cam Ward situation, you know, 87 00:03:03,800 --> 00:03:07,840 Speaker 6: just to remind people, cam Ward enters, the transfer portal decides, 88 00:03:08,040 --> 00:03:09,840 Speaker 6: you know, and you guys pick him up. Then he 89 00:03:09,880 --> 00:03:12,680 Speaker 6: decides he's gonna go back to play NFL football. I'm sorry, 90 00:03:12,919 --> 00:03:14,840 Speaker 6: Pitt play's gonna go to the NFL Draft, you pick 91 00:03:14,880 --> 00:03:16,400 Speaker 6: him up, then he goes back to playing Miami. 92 00:03:16,440 --> 00:03:18,520 Speaker 1: So it must have been like helter skelter, you. 93 00:03:18,440 --> 00:03:19,840 Speaker 3: Know what it's people think. 94 00:03:19,880 --> 00:03:21,400 Speaker 4: I mean, I always tell people like, don't feel bad 95 00:03:21,440 --> 00:03:22,920 Speaker 4: for me, right I run All Star game. 96 00:03:23,040 --> 00:03:24,880 Speaker 3: I love this job. Yeah, I love this job. 97 00:03:25,040 --> 00:03:27,280 Speaker 4: And I try to be as player focused as we can, 98 00:03:27,360 --> 00:03:28,920 Speaker 4: and I try to mean that in everything we do 99 00:03:28,960 --> 00:03:29,560 Speaker 4: and be intentional. 100 00:03:29,639 --> 00:03:31,359 Speaker 3: And that's why we're at a great facility. It's why 101 00:03:31,400 --> 00:03:32,359 Speaker 3: we have our players. 102 00:03:32,040 --> 00:03:34,200 Speaker 4: Starting at eight pm, the same reason why I'm not 103 00:03:34,240 --> 00:03:36,960 Speaker 4: gonna be mad at Cam or anybody making their decisions. 104 00:03:37,000 --> 00:03:39,960 Speaker 4: So for Cam, I talk with his family for eighteen 105 00:03:40,000 --> 00:03:42,000 Speaker 4: months now, and the Ward family is like family to 106 00:03:42,080 --> 00:03:43,600 Speaker 4: me now. And I talk to Cam all the time too, 107 00:03:43,600 --> 00:03:45,920 Speaker 4: and I think he really had weighed a lot of options, 108 00:03:46,000 --> 00:03:47,520 Speaker 4: made a decision, and when he went there, I think 109 00:03:47,560 --> 00:03:49,160 Speaker 4: I was one of his first calls and I said, 110 00:03:49,400 --> 00:03:50,800 Speaker 4: that's what we want to do. Mattamal far too. So 111 00:03:50,800 --> 00:03:52,120 Speaker 4: I'd love to have cam Ward here. He'd be a 112 00:03:52,160 --> 00:03:53,760 Speaker 4: great star here. I think people be excited to be here. 113 00:03:53,760 --> 00:03:54,720 Speaker 4: But at the end of the day, I think a 114 00:03:54,720 --> 00:03:56,600 Speaker 4: lot of players are weighing a lot of things right now, 115 00:03:56,640 --> 00:03:58,920 Speaker 4: right because you can transfer and get it kind of 116 00:03:58,920 --> 00:04:01,160 Speaker 4: fresh start something, and iel money makes it. You don't 117 00:04:01,160 --> 00:04:03,120 Speaker 4: do the NFL for money. So I think it's giving 118 00:04:03,120 --> 00:04:04,880 Speaker 4: the players a lot of options. I'd be lying if 119 00:04:04,880 --> 00:04:06,760 Speaker 4: I said I think it didn't confuse some players a 120 00:04:06,760 --> 00:04:08,520 Speaker 4: little bit and maybe not make the bestcision. I'm saying 121 00:04:08,520 --> 00:04:10,880 Speaker 4: cam Ore cam Ward had a very thoughtful procedure, but 122 00:04:11,040 --> 00:04:12,680 Speaker 4: I think it's added some confusion and hopefully over the 123 00:04:12,680 --> 00:04:14,480 Speaker 4: next couple of years there's less complexity with it all. 124 00:04:14,560 --> 00:04:16,840 Speaker 6: I don't mean to single out cam Ward, but that's 125 00:04:16,839 --> 00:04:19,760 Speaker 6: the obvious one overall, was it? You know, we got 126 00:04:19,800 --> 00:04:21,719 Speaker 6: to go back to plan A or go back to 127 00:04:21,720 --> 00:04:24,280 Speaker 6: the starting board because of X Y, because of these 128 00:04:24,279 --> 00:04:26,080 Speaker 6: players or situations like that. 129 00:04:26,160 --> 00:04:27,160 Speaker 3: A little bit a little bit. 130 00:04:27,200 --> 00:04:29,680 Speaker 4: But I again, I've worked a lot of players last 131 00:04:29,680 --> 00:04:31,159 Speaker 4: couple of years about going back to school. There are 132 00:04:31,200 --> 00:04:32,680 Speaker 4: players who are going to come to the Shrine Bowl 133 00:04:32,720 --> 00:04:34,480 Speaker 4: and why I said, you know what, here's the information. 134 00:04:34,520 --> 00:04:35,719 Speaker 4: What do you think I want to go back to school? 135 00:04:35,720 --> 00:04:38,719 Speaker 4: Than best luck to you. So my philosophy and getting 136 00:04:38,760 --> 00:04:40,320 Speaker 4: this role and really in my life as best I 137 00:04:40,400 --> 00:04:41,960 Speaker 4: can is like, I want to do best by these players, 138 00:04:42,040 --> 00:04:43,760 Speaker 4: best by these people, and if they come to the 139 00:04:43,800 --> 00:04:45,960 Speaker 4: Shrine Bowl, great, They're my guys. They Flowers sass Year 140 00:04:46,000 --> 00:04:47,520 Speaker 4: chose a s Trineboul. He's my guy, and I'm happy 141 00:04:47,520 --> 00:04:49,280 Speaker 4: he did it. If he did something else, I wouldn't 142 00:04:49,279 --> 00:04:51,120 Speaker 4: be mad at him either, right, So my goals to 143 00:04:51,120 --> 00:04:52,720 Speaker 4: give these guys a good information and go from there too. 144 00:04:52,800 --> 00:04:54,240 Speaker 4: And I think we've had a good roster here and 145 00:04:54,240 --> 00:04:55,280 Speaker 4: hopefully players appreciate it. 146 00:04:55,360 --> 00:04:55,960 Speaker 3: Fingers crossed. 147 00:04:56,240 --> 00:04:58,360 Speaker 2: Did you find that the player pool though, was maybe 148 00:04:58,480 --> 00:05:00,640 Speaker 2: a little bit shallower than in years. That's because of 149 00:05:00,680 --> 00:05:03,360 Speaker 2: the extra COVID years and the transfer portal and NILS 150 00:05:03,360 --> 00:05:03,840 Speaker 2: and stuff like that. 151 00:05:03,960 --> 00:05:05,480 Speaker 4: Yeah, I think the last two years have been some 152 00:05:05,560 --> 00:05:08,160 Speaker 4: of the shallowest draft class last couple years. I think 153 00:05:08,160 --> 00:05:10,799 Speaker 4: players have options. I do think that, you know, everybody 154 00:05:10,839 --> 00:05:12,560 Speaker 4: wants to the two words I hate the most of 155 00:05:12,560 --> 00:05:15,839 Speaker 4: these days, the terms draft stock, because every player says 156 00:05:15,880 --> 00:05:17,479 Speaker 4: I'm here, but I could be here, and they don't 157 00:05:17,560 --> 00:05:19,360 Speaker 4: know that a that may not be possible or be 158 00:05:19,839 --> 00:05:21,920 Speaker 4: going here lower might be just as likely as going 159 00:05:22,000 --> 00:05:23,400 Speaker 4: higher as well too. So I think there's a lot 160 00:05:23,440 --> 00:05:26,520 Speaker 4: of again, a lot of confusion, a lot of miscommunication 161 00:05:26,600 --> 00:05:28,560 Speaker 4: I would say from people in the college space saying hey, 162 00:05:28,680 --> 00:05:30,440 Speaker 4: come here and make you this of player as well too. 163 00:05:30,520 --> 00:05:32,640 Speaker 4: But again, if I can educate these players and help 164 00:05:32,640 --> 00:05:34,080 Speaker 4: them on that way, I can, that'd be great too. 165 00:05:34,160 --> 00:05:35,760 Speaker 4: But for us, hey, I think we've got a lot 166 00:05:35,800 --> 00:05:37,360 Speaker 4: of draft picks here. A lot of great players are here. 167 00:05:37,400 --> 00:05:40,240 Speaker 4: And if there are more guys that are hey, these 168 00:05:40,279 --> 00:05:42,839 Speaker 4: are six seventh PFA type of guys. But NFL teams 169 00:05:42,880 --> 00:05:44,200 Speaker 4: can see them and meet them here that meet these 170 00:05:44,320 --> 00:05:46,720 Speaker 4: Maybe teams have there PFA here, but come here and 171 00:05:46,760 --> 00:05:48,280 Speaker 4: press in practice, and there's a lot of guys to 172 00:05:48,320 --> 00:05:49,640 Speaker 4: compete with. I think a lot of the guys will 173 00:05:49,640 --> 00:05:50,120 Speaker 4: have good chance. 174 00:05:50,000 --> 00:05:50,640 Speaker 3: To be draft picks. 175 00:05:50,960 --> 00:05:53,880 Speaker 5: You're ready for a change. Payday comes early with citizens, 176 00:05:54,040 --> 00:05:57,240 Speaker 5: So go to that retreat. Knew you moves to the country. 177 00:05:58,040 --> 00:06:01,440 Speaker 5: Now you're raising goats and launching a lifestyle brand. Are 178 00:06:01,520 --> 00:06:03,160 Speaker 5: you ready for all that life breaks? 179 00:06:05,400 --> 00:06:05,560 Speaker 3: You know? 180 00:06:06,000 --> 00:06:06,120 Speaker 6: Uh? 181 00:06:06,720 --> 00:06:07,880 Speaker 1: To throw another curveball. 182 00:06:08,400 --> 00:06:12,320 Speaker 6: The NFL decides we're gonna let juniors, real juniors playing 183 00:06:12,360 --> 00:06:14,640 Speaker 6: these All Star games, which was I mean it was 184 00:06:14,720 --> 00:06:17,320 Speaker 6: it was surprising to me the way it's been treated 185 00:06:17,360 --> 00:06:19,160 Speaker 6: to best. Plus a lot of these games, I'd look 186 00:06:19,160 --> 00:06:21,320 Speaker 6: at them as rewards for senior players. 187 00:06:21,720 --> 00:06:23,160 Speaker 1: How did that impact your plans? 188 00:06:23,520 --> 00:06:23,640 Speaker 2: Uh? 189 00:06:23,760 --> 00:06:26,320 Speaker 4: It quite a bit, quite a bit, And I think 190 00:06:26,400 --> 00:06:29,680 Speaker 4: it you know, I wish the NFL had officialized it 191 00:06:29,760 --> 00:06:32,280 Speaker 4: and made it announced a bit earlier, because I do 192 00:06:32,400 --> 00:06:34,240 Speaker 4: think again, I'm I'm not a posted I think it's 193 00:06:34,279 --> 00:06:36,200 Speaker 4: really a great rule because I don't. I felt like 194 00:06:36,320 --> 00:06:39,000 Speaker 4: juniors are being unfairly punished, right and just because we 195 00:06:39,080 --> 00:06:41,359 Speaker 4: look at that, we're married to this freshman, sophomore, junior, 196 00:06:41,400 --> 00:06:44,360 Speaker 4: senior dynamic, Like why should juniors should be punished for 197 00:06:44,440 --> 00:06:46,040 Speaker 4: doing that? So I think it's a great opportunity, I think, 198 00:06:46,040 --> 00:06:47,400 Speaker 4: and not a lot of juniors can take advantage of it. 199 00:06:47,640 --> 00:06:49,160 Speaker 4: I think this year only half are going to an 200 00:06:49,160 --> 00:06:50,840 Speaker 4: All Star game a little more than that. So some 201 00:06:50,920 --> 00:06:52,440 Speaker 4: guys will want to do it, some guys won't too. 202 00:06:52,520 --> 00:06:54,400 Speaker 4: But for us to add a little more complexity when 203 00:06:54,400 --> 00:06:56,720 Speaker 4: it was announced, because really couldn't talk to juniors until 204 00:06:56,760 --> 00:06:58,480 Speaker 4: that point as well too. And but again I think 205 00:06:58,480 --> 00:06:59,719 Speaker 4: for junie I told the league off the same thing 206 00:06:59,720 --> 00:07:01,560 Speaker 4: I said, junior should be allowed because they can get 207 00:07:01,560 --> 00:07:03,960 Speaker 4: more information. I being that horse here, but giving these 208 00:07:04,000 --> 00:07:06,200 Speaker 4: kids good information to make decisions is what I care about, 209 00:07:06,240 --> 00:07:08,120 Speaker 4: and I think talking to these juniors as soon as 210 00:07:08,120 --> 00:07:11,960 Speaker 4: possible and now for next year, you know, starting in February, January, February, 211 00:07:12,000 --> 00:07:14,000 Speaker 4: March April for next year, saying hey, this is an 212 00:07:14,000 --> 00:07:16,920 Speaker 4: option for you. Leverage us for information, hoping myself other 213 00:07:16,960 --> 00:07:19,240 Speaker 4: al soarng grectors can give honest information for these guys 214 00:07:19,320 --> 00:07:20,560 Speaker 4: and other guys make good decisions. 215 00:07:20,560 --> 00:07:21,480 Speaker 3: But come out for the draft or not? 216 00:07:22,240 --> 00:07:24,160 Speaker 6: Does the nc do you talk with the n C 217 00:07:24,320 --> 00:07:26,240 Speaker 6: two A at all or do you have any conversations 218 00:07:26,280 --> 00:07:30,080 Speaker 6: about you know, putting a specific date, a firm date 219 00:07:30,160 --> 00:07:32,600 Speaker 6: on when guys can enter the transfer portal, you know, 220 00:07:32,720 --> 00:07:34,800 Speaker 6: to kind of end this mayhem for everybody because it 221 00:07:34,800 --> 00:07:36,720 Speaker 6: seems like guys are you know, in and out of 222 00:07:36,760 --> 00:07:38,920 Speaker 6: a transfer portal through February even later. 223 00:07:39,280 --> 00:07:42,120 Speaker 4: That might be a Charlie Baker Roger Goodell question. But uh, 224 00:07:42,200 --> 00:07:44,080 Speaker 4: but no, with this new rule, I've talked at the 225 00:07:44,120 --> 00:07:45,720 Speaker 4: NCA a little more engagement a little bit more as 226 00:07:45,720 --> 00:07:47,560 Speaker 4: well too. But the NFL le Go office just the 227 00:07:47,640 --> 00:07:50,200 Speaker 4: best they can with this kind of changing sport. Ken Fiori, 228 00:07:50,760 --> 00:07:52,640 Speaker 4: Troy Vincent Romanov and do a good job of trying 229 00:07:52,640 --> 00:07:54,520 Speaker 4: to navigate these waters, and I think they have the 230 00:07:54,560 --> 00:07:57,000 Speaker 4: same intention that I have, is that they want to 231 00:07:57,000 --> 00:07:59,040 Speaker 4: give players more opportunities and more options. Right, we don't 232 00:07:59,040 --> 00:08:01,000 Speaker 4: want to penalize kids for claring early and making them 233 00:08:01,040 --> 00:08:02,960 Speaker 4: feel bad about it too, So I think it's this was. 234 00:08:02,960 --> 00:08:04,640 Speaker 3: A trial period. I have feedback. I f tol the 235 00:08:04,720 --> 00:08:05,720 Speaker 3: league office. They're here this week. 236 00:08:05,760 --> 00:08:07,240 Speaker 4: They'll be at the other All Star game as well too, 237 00:08:07,240 --> 00:08:08,960 Speaker 4: and get some feedback as well. But I think we're 238 00:08:09,000 --> 00:08:10,560 Speaker 4: trying to learn here. But I think the intention is 239 00:08:10,840 --> 00:08:12,240 Speaker 4: giving more players opportunities too. 240 00:08:12,360 --> 00:08:12,760 Speaker 3: They want them. 241 00:08:13,040 --> 00:08:15,280 Speaker 2: You have a handful of players here that are in meetings, 242 00:08:15,360 --> 00:08:17,440 Speaker 2: meeting with teams, part of the roster, but they're not 243 00:08:17,680 --> 00:08:20,160 Speaker 2: participating on the field, some because of injury, some because 244 00:08:20,160 --> 00:08:22,360 Speaker 2: of choice. What's the value to you and to them 245 00:08:22,520 --> 00:08:24,520 Speaker 2: for them to be coming down here and are participating 246 00:08:24,800 --> 00:08:26,200 Speaker 2: even if they're not going to be on the practice 247 00:08:26,240 --> 00:08:27,160 Speaker 2: field or playing in the game. 248 00:08:27,200 --> 00:08:28,880 Speaker 4: Well, I'll say every player here that's not practicing is 249 00:08:28,920 --> 00:08:33,080 Speaker 4: because of injury. So my philosophy is twofold one. If 250 00:08:33,120 --> 00:08:35,120 Speaker 4: we invite that player and that player gets hurt during 251 00:08:35,120 --> 00:08:37,280 Speaker 4: the draft process or during their season, we honor that 252 00:08:37,360 --> 00:08:38,960 Speaker 4: invite for them. I don't feel like a bandoning these 253 00:08:38,960 --> 00:08:41,120 Speaker 4: players because hey, I'm not one hundred percent come down 254 00:08:41,160 --> 00:08:43,080 Speaker 4: here interview for sure. Right, I'm not going to ban 255 00:08:43,080 --> 00:08:45,240 Speaker 4: any players. The other players that we invited that would 256 00:08:45,280 --> 00:08:47,520 Speaker 4: have come down if didn't affect their rehab. So I'm 257 00:08:47,520 --> 00:08:49,080 Speaker 4: not ever going to turn my back if player gets hurt. 258 00:08:49,080 --> 00:08:50,240 Speaker 4: I'm not going to say you can't come anymore. That 259 00:08:50,280 --> 00:08:52,640 Speaker 4: feels what the wrong thing to do. But secondly, we 260 00:08:52,720 --> 00:08:55,040 Speaker 4: always have the philosophy of not pressuring guys to play. 261 00:08:55,360 --> 00:08:56,599 Speaker 4: You know, one of the things I talked to a 262 00:08:56,640 --> 00:08:58,719 Speaker 4: lot of former players that played in the Shrinebel and 263 00:08:58,760 --> 00:09:01,480 Speaker 4: other Ulcer games before I took the job, and they 264 00:09:01,520 --> 00:09:03,480 Speaker 4: said one of the things that the negative feedback was 265 00:09:03,920 --> 00:09:06,439 Speaker 4: feeling pressured. I owed this All Star game something to 266 00:09:06,480 --> 00:09:07,679 Speaker 4: be at and I want to make the Shrine Bowl 267 00:09:07,679 --> 00:09:10,679 Speaker 4: doesn't feel that way. So when players feel confident that 268 00:09:10,720 --> 00:09:12,440 Speaker 4: they're not going to be pressured by me or anybody, 269 00:09:12,480 --> 00:09:14,280 Speaker 4: and our doctor Davis jere ahead of let trainers done 270 00:09:14,280 --> 00:09:15,679 Speaker 4: a great job last few years of me as well 271 00:09:15,920 --> 00:09:17,480 Speaker 4: saying hey, how do you feel you don't feel great? 272 00:09:17,520 --> 00:09:18,720 Speaker 3: And what that's done, which I'm. 273 00:09:18,600 --> 00:09:21,440 Speaker 4: Not surprised by is a agents and players have more 274 00:09:21,480 --> 00:09:23,880 Speaker 4: confidence than us, and they're not gonna say, like, ahead 275 00:09:23,920 --> 00:09:25,480 Speaker 4: of time, I'm not playing the game. They'll say they'll 276 00:09:25,480 --> 00:09:27,319 Speaker 4: see how they feel because they know our staff will 277 00:09:27,320 --> 00:09:29,880 Speaker 4: take care of them. And we've had players opt into 278 00:09:29,920 --> 00:09:32,760 Speaker 4: the game the last two years then opt out ahead 279 00:09:32,760 --> 00:09:34,440 Speaker 4: of time because they say, you know what, I sat 280 00:09:34,440 --> 00:09:35,160 Speaker 4: out for a day or two. 281 00:09:35,160 --> 00:09:35,719 Speaker 3: They took care of me. 282 00:09:35,760 --> 00:09:37,480 Speaker 4: They didn't rush me back, and I actually feel okay. 283 00:09:37,520 --> 00:09:39,600 Speaker 4: At Perry a year ago did that the Shrine Bowl. 284 00:09:39,640 --> 00:09:41,520 Speaker 4: He was gonna opt out and wasn't feeling great, and 285 00:09:41,559 --> 00:09:43,240 Speaker 4: then he rested. We have a ton of resources for 286 00:09:43,320 --> 00:09:44,719 Speaker 4: these guys, and by game they said, you know, I'm 287 00:09:44,760 --> 00:09:46,760 Speaker 4: good to go. I have TELLNFL network, Hey, At Perry 288 00:09:46,800 --> 00:09:49,079 Speaker 4: back on the roster too. So again my philosophy take 289 00:09:49,080 --> 00:09:50,599 Speaker 4: care of these guys. Hopefully it pays the dividends in 290 00:09:50,640 --> 00:09:52,480 Speaker 4: the future too. But again, if a player gets hurt 291 00:09:52,520 --> 00:09:54,040 Speaker 4: coming down here, we're not gonna say no to him 292 00:09:54,040 --> 00:09:54,480 Speaker 4: coming to the Shrine. 293 00:09:54,480 --> 00:09:55,040 Speaker 3: Both interview. 294 00:09:55,440 --> 00:09:57,880 Speaker 1: You know this is turning into the quarterback game. 295 00:09:58,480 --> 00:10:01,920 Speaker 6: You know during Tom to Robinson last year, Aidan O'Connell 296 00:10:02,160 --> 00:10:06,360 Speaker 6: obviously brock party their prior year so give it. Give 297 00:10:06,440 --> 00:10:08,599 Speaker 6: us a little, you know, breakdown on the quarterbacks that 298 00:10:08,679 --> 00:10:10,560 Speaker 6: we're gonna that we saw today that we're gonna see 299 00:10:10,559 --> 00:10:11,120 Speaker 6: the rest of the week. 300 00:10:11,360 --> 00:10:12,920 Speaker 4: Yeah, you know, I've been I've been joking with my 301 00:10:12,960 --> 00:10:15,400 Speaker 4: buddy I I've I can explain why any of these 302 00:10:15,440 --> 00:10:17,079 Speaker 4: quarterbacks who be the next Rock Party r I have 303 00:10:17,240 --> 00:10:19,640 Speaker 4: master the Brock Party spin zone. But guys like Austin 304 00:10:19,720 --> 00:10:22,720 Speaker 4: Reid and Devin Leary have played a lot of football, 305 00:10:22,760 --> 00:10:24,080 Speaker 4: started a lot of games in college. That's what Rock 306 00:10:24,120 --> 00:10:26,079 Speaker 4: Party had, right. I always say Brock Purty saw a 307 00:10:26,120 --> 00:10:27,839 Speaker 4: lot of stuff for better and for worse in college 308 00:10:27,880 --> 00:10:29,079 Speaker 4: and it made him who he is today, to be 309 00:10:29,160 --> 00:10:32,400 Speaker 4: someone who's not phased by changing situations. And Devin Leary, 310 00:10:32,440 --> 00:10:34,240 Speaker 4: Austin Red jump out of those kind of guys. Talia 311 00:10:34,280 --> 00:10:36,200 Speaker 4: Tago Vlois played a ton of games, Big Time's all 312 00:10:36,240 --> 00:10:38,840 Speaker 4: time landing passer. It's it's today. I watched the practice. 313 00:10:38,840 --> 00:10:41,280 Speaker 4: He's hitting balls downfield, deep comebacks. He belts with new 314 00:10:41,320 --> 00:10:43,640 Speaker 4: receivers that accuracy is gonna transfer over. So I think 315 00:10:43,679 --> 00:10:45,240 Speaker 4: we have a lot of depth at this quarterback class. 316 00:10:45,280 --> 00:10:47,240 Speaker 4: And for me, you watch on film and all these 317 00:10:47,240 --> 00:10:49,280 Speaker 4: guys the things they can improve on. I'm not sure 318 00:10:49,320 --> 00:10:50,800 Speaker 4: you saw to day Tony, but I thought these guys 319 00:10:50,840 --> 00:10:53,040 Speaker 4: showed something whether at the Hula Bowl before they came 320 00:10:53,080 --> 00:10:55,280 Speaker 4: up here. Hey you practice that says, Hey, you could 321 00:10:55,320 --> 00:10:57,320 Speaker 4: say any one of these guys can be fourth, fifth, 322 00:10:57,360 --> 00:10:58,800 Speaker 4: six round picks. I think I think we'll have at 323 00:10:58,840 --> 00:11:00,160 Speaker 4: least one of these guys going on the top three 324 00:11:00,200 --> 00:11:01,599 Speaker 4: four rounds. I think two of these guys will in 325 00:11:01,640 --> 00:11:03,440 Speaker 4: the top five rounds. Because even though. 326 00:11:03,280 --> 00:11:05,559 Speaker 3: It's a deeper quarterback class, not a lot of guys 327 00:11:05,600 --> 00:11:06,240 Speaker 3: in this class. 328 00:11:06,200 --> 00:11:08,559 Speaker 4: Can come in tomorrow and be backups and then develop 329 00:11:08,600 --> 00:11:10,120 Speaker 4: for more in the future. That's what teams love about 330 00:11:10,120 --> 00:11:12,160 Speaker 4: Dorian Thompson Robinson. Hey, this guy could be a backup 331 00:11:12,200 --> 00:11:14,160 Speaker 4: tomorrow for us, same thing for rock Perty. You know, 332 00:11:14,320 --> 00:11:15,960 Speaker 4: mister irrelevant a lot of teams, so that guy could 333 00:11:15,960 --> 00:11:17,640 Speaker 4: be in our quarterback room. I think a lot of 334 00:11:17,640 --> 00:11:19,319 Speaker 4: guys issue that are going to fit to a quarterback 335 00:11:19,400 --> 00:11:21,440 Speaker 4: room in some way and then like a o' kinda 336 00:11:21,480 --> 00:11:23,400 Speaker 4: like Dorian, like rock Perty. Who knows what happens when 337 00:11:23,400 --> 00:11:24,040 Speaker 4: the season starts. 338 00:11:24,360 --> 00:11:26,319 Speaker 2: We know you love all the groups here through a 339 00:11:26,360 --> 00:11:29,120 Speaker 2: couple of days, any specific ones are sticking out to 340 00:11:29,120 --> 00:11:31,360 Speaker 2: you as being particularly deep or particularly impressive. 341 00:11:31,440 --> 00:11:35,000 Speaker 4: Yeah, we've got a really good group of DB's and 342 00:11:35,120 --> 00:11:37,040 Speaker 4: a couple of receivers that are really impressing. Despite it, 343 00:11:37,440 --> 00:11:39,560 Speaker 4: our dB room, I think has probably the most drafticks 344 00:11:39,600 --> 00:11:42,120 Speaker 4: will have on a per capita basis, probably the most 345 00:11:42,160 --> 00:11:43,800 Speaker 4: top three four round guys as well too. But I 346 00:11:43,800 --> 00:11:45,439 Speaker 4: thought two guys that impressed it from what I saw, 347 00:11:45,840 --> 00:11:48,080 Speaker 4: Isaiah Williams at receiver from Milanoi and then the league 348 00:11:48,120 --> 00:11:51,360 Speaker 4: Washington was at Virginia on the West team. Like, those 349 00:11:51,360 --> 00:11:53,400 Speaker 4: two guys were outstanding. And I think especially because our 350 00:11:53,440 --> 00:11:55,960 Speaker 4: dbs are one of our stronger groups. So the fact 351 00:11:56,000 --> 00:11:57,400 Speaker 4: that those who receivers out in a big way. I 352 00:11:57,400 --> 00:11:59,360 Speaker 4: think both those guys are top hundred picks. I'll be 353 00:11:59,400 --> 00:12:01,200 Speaker 4: shocked if they're not top one hundred picks. And they 354 00:12:01,240 --> 00:12:03,880 Speaker 4: did that against these dbs. We're gonna have fourteen, fifteen, 355 00:12:03,960 --> 00:12:06,480 Speaker 4: sixteen dbs who are draft picks. That's a darn impressive 356 00:12:06,520 --> 00:12:07,240 Speaker 4: day for those two guys. 357 00:12:08,200 --> 00:12:10,080 Speaker 1: You love turf, you're good. 358 00:12:09,960 --> 00:12:13,160 Speaker 5: At it, so you start a turf Fizz business grows, 359 00:12:13,520 --> 00:12:17,959 Speaker 5: your savings grow, become the most celebrated name in turf. 360 00:12:18,559 --> 00:12:19,719 Speaker 5: Are you ready for all that? 361 00:12:19,800 --> 00:12:20,360 Speaker 3: Life? Brings. 362 00:12:22,160 --> 00:12:25,040 Speaker 6: You know, the Shrine Game historically has always brought in 363 00:12:25,160 --> 00:12:27,360 Speaker 6: players from Canada, and you look like you got a 364 00:12:27,400 --> 00:12:28,000 Speaker 6: winner this year. 365 00:12:28,120 --> 00:12:32,080 Speaker 4: Yeah, a unique one too, so no guys from Canadian colleges. 366 00:12:32,160 --> 00:12:35,640 Speaker 4: But Quantest Stiggers is as fast into a story as 367 00:12:35,679 --> 00:12:37,319 Speaker 4: I've seen, and thankfully it's got some more play on 368 00:12:37,360 --> 00:12:39,079 Speaker 4: social media. People are learning about who he is, but 369 00:12:39,480 --> 00:12:41,000 Speaker 4: just what he's going to overcome. You know, went to 370 00:12:41,080 --> 00:12:44,040 Speaker 4: Lane College, Covid ends the season, doesn't play college football, 371 00:12:44,360 --> 00:12:46,840 Speaker 4: does get any more opportunities. His mom signs him up 372 00:12:46,840 --> 00:12:48,880 Speaker 4: for the fan controlled Football League, then he can't go 373 00:12:48,920 --> 00:12:51,319 Speaker 4: to college anymore, and then he has a great season there. 374 00:12:51,320 --> 00:12:54,160 Speaker 4: And then Vince Magre, the assistant GM in Toronto, signs 375 00:12:54,200 --> 00:12:56,640 Speaker 4: him in Toronto Rookie of the Year, and every almost 376 00:12:56,679 --> 00:12:58,880 Speaker 4: every NFL team called the league office saying, hey, can 377 00:12:58,920 --> 00:13:01,400 Speaker 4: we work him out for the NFL? And Lgavas said 378 00:13:01,600 --> 00:13:03,800 Speaker 4: you can't because he hasn't Gonta do a draft process yet. 379 00:13:04,000 --> 00:13:06,240 Speaker 4: So this is a one of a kind situation, a loopool. 380 00:13:06,240 --> 00:13:08,200 Speaker 4: I bet it's fixed by next year. But right now 381 00:13:08,280 --> 00:13:12,040 Speaker 4: we have a former still a current Toronto Argonaut's CFL 382 00:13:12,120 --> 00:13:14,000 Speaker 4: player playing in the Trina Ball. It's as weird as 383 00:13:14,000 --> 00:13:16,040 Speaker 4: it gets, but he was great today. And I would 384 00:13:16,040 --> 00:13:18,080 Speaker 4: say walk around the sidelines asking scouts who they liked. 385 00:13:18,280 --> 00:13:20,840 Speaker 3: They were all what's his background? Again? Who's the stickers guys? 386 00:13:20,880 --> 00:13:23,199 Speaker 4: It? What does Toronto Argonauts mean? He's been one of 387 00:13:23,240 --> 00:13:24,600 Speaker 4: the talks of the event just because he's such an 388 00:13:24,600 --> 00:13:25,040 Speaker 4: eque story. 389 00:13:25,400 --> 00:13:26,920 Speaker 2: And finally a question for me, I want to talk 390 00:13:26,920 --> 00:13:28,319 Speaker 2: about the guys up front. I think you have a 391 00:13:28,400 --> 00:13:31,319 Speaker 2: really good offensive line group, had some really good pass rushes. 392 00:13:31,320 --> 00:13:33,000 Speaker 2: I really enjoyed watching the one on one today. Your 393 00:13:33,040 --> 00:13:34,640 Speaker 2: thought on those two groups up front? 394 00:13:34,720 --> 00:13:36,800 Speaker 4: Yeah, I would say behind dB offensive line just as 395 00:13:36,800 --> 00:13:38,520 Speaker 4: whole draft classes load. I mean Tony watched the whole 396 00:13:38,520 --> 00:13:40,439 Speaker 4: county as well too. It's the best offensive line class 397 00:13:40,480 --> 00:13:42,520 Speaker 4: I can remember in my fifteen twenty years of doing this. 398 00:13:42,679 --> 00:13:44,720 Speaker 4: And I think even from the top tier guys, there'll 399 00:13:44,720 --> 00:13:46,560 Speaker 4: be six, seven, eight offensive linemen in the first round, 400 00:13:46,600 --> 00:13:48,480 Speaker 4: maybe ten. But here I think we've got a lot 401 00:13:48,480 --> 00:13:50,920 Speaker 4: of guys who are versatile. Christian Mahogany of BC, you 402 00:13:50,960 --> 00:13:52,800 Speaker 4: know people thought might be a first round pick a 403 00:13:52,800 --> 00:13:54,520 Speaker 4: couple of years ago. Maybe he won't be there, but 404 00:13:54,800 --> 00:13:56,559 Speaker 4: if he's below that that's still second third round. I 405 00:13:56,559 --> 00:13:58,360 Speaker 4: think'll let up some player in that area. Two and 406 00:13:59,080 --> 00:14:01,240 Speaker 4: Garrett green Field makes Corn from South Dakota State both 407 00:14:01,280 --> 00:14:03,040 Speaker 4: the dominant all we can practice. We're big fans of 408 00:14:03,040 --> 00:14:05,040 Speaker 4: those guys. They're rising up draft boards just by being 409 00:14:05,080 --> 00:14:07,000 Speaker 4: here and talking to scouts before they got here. We 410 00:14:07,160 --> 00:14:09,320 Speaker 4: watching film too, so that's been our best I think 411 00:14:09,360 --> 00:14:11,480 Speaker 4: our best position group is offensive lineouts out of DB's 412 00:14:11,520 --> 00:14:13,040 Speaker 4: and again think will help up in our most draft 413 00:14:13,080 --> 00:14:14,839 Speaker 4: picks per cap at offensive line of dB, which is 414 00:14:15,120 --> 00:14:17,199 Speaker 4: great for ENDNFL teams because every playoff team always wants 415 00:14:17,200 --> 00:14:18,480 Speaker 4: more roll line of dbs, that's for sure. 416 00:14:18,720 --> 00:14:20,560 Speaker 6: You know, one of the history of the East West 417 00:14:20,560 --> 00:14:22,400 Speaker 6: Shrine Game is having a lot of small school guys, 418 00:14:22,800 --> 00:14:26,680 Speaker 6: and you basically brought most of the two time championship 419 00:14:26,720 --> 00:14:29,840 Speaker 6: winning South Dakota State team. You mentioned Gat Greenfield, McCormick, 420 00:14:30,120 --> 00:14:32,800 Speaker 6: the Yankee Twins, talk a little bit about all those players. 421 00:14:32,840 --> 00:14:34,360 Speaker 4: Yeah, it just worked out like that. I mean, honestly, 422 00:14:34,400 --> 00:14:35,520 Speaker 4: we weren't trying to say we want to have a 423 00:14:35,560 --> 00:14:37,400 Speaker 4: quota here. We want to get some South Dakota State guys, 424 00:14:37,440 --> 00:14:39,240 Speaker 4: and you know, we were bullish on a couple of 425 00:14:39,240 --> 00:14:41,560 Speaker 4: South Goast State guys really early on the process, McCormick 426 00:14:41,600 --> 00:14:42,640 Speaker 4: and Greenfield being two of them. 427 00:14:42,680 --> 00:14:43,000 Speaker 1: We thought. 428 00:14:43,120 --> 00:14:45,080 Speaker 4: I actually met those two guys in May of this 429 00:14:45,200 --> 00:14:46,960 Speaker 4: offseason and got chance to watch them work out up 430 00:14:47,000 --> 00:14:49,640 Speaker 4: in Minnesota, and this impressed for who they are as players. 431 00:14:49,760 --> 00:14:52,280 Speaker 4: Greenfield super athletic as a left and right tackle. McCormick 432 00:14:52,360 --> 00:14:55,800 Speaker 4: and play center. The Yankee twins, both really good athletes. 433 00:14:55,800 --> 00:14:58,440 Speaker 4: I think NFL teams are still figuring out who's better 434 00:14:58,600 --> 00:15:00,320 Speaker 4: because one was this and then what was this? Better 435 00:15:00,360 --> 00:15:02,560 Speaker 4: this year one's a better athlete. So they're both guys 436 00:15:02,560 --> 00:15:04,080 Speaker 4: who I think are are going to be slammed. Do 437 00:15:04,080 --> 00:15:06,080 Speaker 4: on six on the round draft picks and kudos South 438 00:15:06,160 --> 00:15:08,240 Speaker 4: Kota State. If you can have five draft picks at 439 00:15:08,280 --> 00:15:11,000 Speaker 4: the FCS level with probably limit a nil resource, that's 440 00:15:11,000 --> 00:15:12,440 Speaker 4: a heck of a job. Other coaches have to developing 441 00:15:12,480 --> 00:15:12,840 Speaker 4: these guys. 442 00:15:13,200 --> 00:15:14,920 Speaker 2: Eric, before we say good bye, anything else, you want 443 00:15:15,080 --> 00:15:17,680 Speaker 2: to make sure the fans know about this process, your game, 444 00:15:17,760 --> 00:15:20,120 Speaker 2: it's coming up on Thursday, anything else. You want to 445 00:15:20,240 --> 00:15:21,720 Speaker 2: make sure that people know about what you're doing here. 446 00:15:21,800 --> 00:15:23,480 Speaker 4: I appreciate our coaches. I think we've got our best 447 00:15:23,560 --> 00:15:25,200 Speaker 4: roster in my two years of doing this now. I 448 00:15:25,280 --> 00:15:27,120 Speaker 4: think we'll break another record this year in terms of 449 00:15:27,200 --> 00:15:28,800 Speaker 4: draft picks and hopefully our player experience. 450 00:15:28,880 --> 00:15:30,880 Speaker 3: You guys as media have a great experience as well too. 451 00:15:30,920 --> 00:15:32,200 Speaker 3: And you know I took over the game. 452 00:15:32,240 --> 00:15:33,840 Speaker 4: I want to have a best in class experience for 453 00:15:33,880 --> 00:15:36,840 Speaker 4: our players, agents, NFL teams, coaches, et cetera. Two and 454 00:15:36,880 --> 00:15:39,240 Speaker 4: I think we're accomplished that here in Frisco. So those 455 00:15:39,240 --> 00:15:40,560 Speaker 4: of you gouta really come to the Trinbule this year. 456 00:15:40,600 --> 00:15:41,720 Speaker 4: Hope you guys have a good time, and if you 457 00:15:41,760 --> 00:15:42,880 Speaker 4: haven't been here this year, I hope you have a 458 00:15:42,960 --> 00:15:44,800 Speaker 4: chance to have the virtual Crenchials and come by next 459 00:15:44,880 --> 00:15:45,440 Speaker 4: year here in Frisco. 460 00:15:45,640 --> 00:15:47,280 Speaker 2: I'll speak for Tony.
