15
00:00:51,720 --> 00:00:56,840
Speaker 1: greatest thing since TV coverage of the NFL Draft. The

16
00:00:56,880 --> 00:01:02,080
Speaker 1: first draft ever televised was the Anthony munyoft in nineteen eighty.

17
00:01:02,360 --> 00:01:06,600
Speaker 1: A six month old all sports cable network desperate for

18
00:01:06,680 --> 00:01:10,480
Speaker 1: programming named ESPN figured that the draft would draw a

19
00:01:10,520 --> 00:01:13,959
Speaker 1: few eyeballs. The first round was on a Tuesday afternoon

20
00:01:14,440 --> 00:01:17,560
Speaker 1: and there were no fans in attendance. It was basically

21
00:01:17,560 --> 00:01:21,640
Speaker 1: a bunch of people sitting around phones. Forty five years later,

22
00:01:21,720 --> 00:01:25,720
Speaker 1: it's a three day extravaganza that hundreds of thousands of

23
00:01:25,720 --> 00:01:29,639
Speaker 1: people attend in person and millions more watch on TV.

24
00:01:30,319 --> 00:01:34,720
Speaker 1: In fact, this year's first round averaged thirteen point six

25
00:01:34,959 --> 00:01:39,680
Speaker 1: million viewers, the second most watched first round ever, the

26
00:01:39,720 --> 00:01:42,920
Speaker 1: only one that topped it the Joe Burrow Draft in

27
00:01:43,040 --> 00:01:47,880
Speaker 1: twenty twenty. Now, let's get to the Bengals Day three selections.

28
00:01:48,360 --> 00:01:52,640
Speaker 1: In the fourth round, Cincinnati picked linebacker Barrett Carter out

29
00:01:52,680 --> 00:01:55,560
Speaker 1: of Clemson. Carter was a three year starter for the

30
00:01:55,600 --> 00:01:59,480
Speaker 1: Tigers and a captain last year. He's a little undersized

31
00:01:59,480 --> 00:02:02,000
Speaker 1: in terms of height at six feet, but he's a

32
00:02:02,080 --> 00:02:04,880
Speaker 1: solid two hundred and thirty two pounds with excellent speed,

33
00:02:05,360 --> 00:02:09,720
Speaker 1: and he rarely came off the field, including special team's duty.

34
00:02:10,040 --> 00:02:13,840
Speaker 1: Defensive coordinator Al Golden says that Carter made a great

35
00:02:13,880 --> 00:02:18,760
Speaker 1: impression when they met face to face at the NFL combine.

36
00:02:19,400 --> 00:02:22,239
Speaker 2: First of all, it wasn't canned, you know, it wasn't practice.

37
00:02:22,880 --> 00:02:25,840
Speaker 2: I thought it was really the word that I wrote

38
00:02:25,880 --> 00:02:29,600
Speaker 2: down on my notes was authentic, you know, just the

39
00:02:29,600 --> 00:02:34,080
Speaker 2: the relationship that he had with his pastor you know,

40
00:02:34,240 --> 00:02:40,080
Speaker 2: back home and four point zero GPA team captain. You know,

41
00:02:40,120 --> 00:02:42,839
Speaker 2: we have a sign down here in our weight room,

42
00:02:42,880 --> 00:02:45,239
Speaker 2: you know, fat pH a T and he's that. So

43
00:02:45,320 --> 00:02:49,960
Speaker 2: he's he's a guy that you know, is a culture

44
00:02:51,320 --> 00:02:55,880
Speaker 2: creator and he'll improve ours. He's a guy that we

45
00:02:56,280 --> 00:03:01,000
Speaker 2: had high regard for, had grades higher than the current round.

46
00:03:02,040 --> 00:03:04,720
Speaker 2: UH could play stack linebacker, gives us four down value,

47
00:03:04,960 --> 00:03:08,960
Speaker 2: early downs, third down and UH special teams Team Captain

48
00:03:09,040 --> 00:03:12,960
Speaker 2: green dot UH four oh g p A just a

49
00:03:12,960 --> 00:03:14,160
Speaker 2: family oriented guy.

50
00:03:14,520 --> 00:03:14,760
Speaker 3: UH.

51
00:03:14,880 --> 00:03:16,280
Speaker 2: Just a really impressive human being.

52
00:03:16,560 --> 00:03:16,800
Speaker 1: UH.

53
00:03:16,840 --> 00:03:20,400
Speaker 2: And he's gonna have an immediate impact for us. We're

54
00:03:20,440 --> 00:03:22,960
Speaker 2: too deep at linebacker now in terms of if we're

55
00:03:22,960 --> 00:03:25,280
Speaker 2: playing four to two, UH, we still need some help

56
00:03:26,560 --> 00:03:28,880
Speaker 2: in terms of if we're playing bass with you know

57
00:03:28,919 --> 00:03:33,040
Speaker 2: four three structure. So I just feel like, you know,

58
00:03:33,120 --> 00:03:38,120
Speaker 2: we we have you know, six seven linebackers. I think

59
00:03:38,160 --> 00:03:41,720
Speaker 2: we have more ends now. So I think we've fortified

60
00:03:41,760 --> 00:03:44,760
Speaker 2: a bunch of positions. And it just gives me a

61
00:03:44,800 --> 00:03:48,240
Speaker 2: sense of Okay, now we can UH plot the course

62
00:03:49,600 --> 00:03:56,720
Speaker 2: when the crossroads of UH evaluation and opportunity UH meet

63
00:03:57,280 --> 00:04:00,120
Speaker 2: UH in terms of need meeting opportunity. You know, theres

64
00:04:00,160 --> 00:04:02,720
Speaker 2: a need and the evaluation was high. It's hard to

65
00:04:02,720 --> 00:04:03,840
Speaker 2: pass up that prospect.

66
00:04:05,160 --> 00:04:07,360
Speaker 1: By the way, Elle made a reference to the letters

67
00:04:07,560 --> 00:04:10,560
Speaker 1: P H A T that are on the wall in

68
00:04:10,600 --> 00:04:16,560
Speaker 1: the Bengals weight room. They stand for physical, Hungry, accountable teammate.

69
00:04:17,440 --> 00:04:20,000
Speaker 1: We spoke to Carter after he was selected and got

70
00:04:20,000 --> 00:04:22,760
Speaker 1: his reaction to being chosen by the Bengals in round four.

71
00:04:24,240 --> 00:04:26,240
Speaker 4: I was not anticipating it at all. You know, I

72
00:04:26,279 --> 00:04:29,560
Speaker 4: was just trying to take in everything, just pick my pick.

73
00:04:29,680 --> 00:04:31,839
Speaker 4: And you know, I saw something on the clock, and

74
00:04:31,960 --> 00:04:33,920
Speaker 4: you know, I was I was hoping for it, but

75
00:04:33,960 --> 00:04:35,039
Speaker 4: you know what I mean, you never know what the

76
00:04:35,120 --> 00:04:37,520
Speaker 4: draft and I see my phone light up and I

77
00:04:37,520 --> 00:04:39,479
Speaker 4: answer the call, and you know, here we are. So

78
00:04:40,080 --> 00:04:42,520
Speaker 4: I'm super, super blessed to be a part of it

79
00:04:42,560 --> 00:04:44,560
Speaker 4: and just I'm ready to you know, get get to

80
00:04:44,600 --> 00:04:46,520
Speaker 4: work and you know, you know, go win some games.

81
00:04:46,560 --> 00:04:47,920
Speaker 4: So I'm super excited.

82
00:04:48,640 --> 00:04:51,600
Speaker 5: Fears a profile of you were you removed the defense

83
00:04:51,640 --> 00:04:53,800
Speaker 5: as a sophomore and that you quote unquote hated it.

84
00:04:53,839 --> 00:04:55,960
Speaker 4: What did you hate about that move? Are you grateful

85
00:04:55,960 --> 00:04:57,919
Speaker 4: now that they made that move? Yeah? So that was

86
00:04:57,960 --> 00:04:59,520
Speaker 4: my That was the end of my freshman year of

87
00:04:59,600 --> 00:05:02,560
Speaker 4: high school, and I just I'd grown up playing receiver

88
00:05:02,600 --> 00:05:05,039
Speaker 4: and running back really my whole life, and you know,

89
00:05:05,080 --> 00:05:07,800
Speaker 4: they moved me the linebacker, and I was I was

90
00:05:07,800 --> 00:05:09,800
Speaker 4: super mad about it. I thought I was I'm from Chicaga,

91
00:05:09,800 --> 00:05:11,480
Speaker 4: and I thought I was gonna be the next Devin Hester,

92
00:05:12,440 --> 00:05:14,599
Speaker 4: so something like that, and then moved me to defense,

93
00:05:14,640 --> 00:05:16,880
Speaker 4: and I was pissed off. I wanted to quit football,

94
00:05:16,960 --> 00:05:18,160
Speaker 4: but the next day I got my.

95
00:05:18,080 --> 00:05:19,080
Speaker 6: First scholarship offer.

96
00:05:19,440 --> 00:05:22,240
Speaker 4: So God wore some mysterious ways and that showed me

97
00:05:22,279 --> 00:05:24,440
Speaker 4: that right there. But you know, I've grown to love

98
00:05:24,480 --> 00:05:26,640
Speaker 4: defense and I wouldn't want to play any other side

99
00:05:26,680 --> 00:05:28,000
Speaker 4: of the ball, and I wouldn't want to play any

100
00:05:28,040 --> 00:05:28,560
Speaker 4: other position.

101
00:05:29,279 --> 00:05:33,320
Speaker 1: Defensive coordinator Al Golden spoke about your interview in Indianapolis

102
00:05:33,320 --> 00:05:36,200
Speaker 1: and he described it as authentic and that you didn't

103
00:05:36,200 --> 00:05:39,560
Speaker 1: sound coached. How did you approach those one on one

104
00:05:39,600 --> 00:05:41,040
Speaker 1: meetings with NFL teams?

105
00:05:41,279 --> 00:05:43,359
Speaker 4: Yeah, you know, I walked into my interviews and I

106
00:05:43,480 --> 00:05:45,440
Speaker 4: just I just I was just being myself.

107
00:05:45,440 --> 00:05:45,680
Speaker 1: You know.

108
00:05:46,000 --> 00:05:47,919
Speaker 4: I didn't want to put up a put up a

109
00:05:47,960 --> 00:05:50,120
Speaker 4: front and anything or you know, try to be something

110
00:05:50,160 --> 00:05:53,000
Speaker 4: that I'm not, you know, God gave me my DNA,

111
00:05:53,160 --> 00:05:54,920
Speaker 4: my finger print, and no one else has the same

112
00:05:54,960 --> 00:05:57,640
Speaker 4: finger print. And I stand by that and I live

113
00:05:57,680 --> 00:06:00,200
Speaker 4: by that. So I walked into every single room just

114
00:06:00,240 --> 00:06:04,880
Speaker 4: being myself. I'm a confident, humble, smart young man, and

115
00:06:05,000 --> 00:06:06,960
Speaker 4: you know that's that's that's why, that's what I tried

116
00:06:06,960 --> 00:06:09,680
Speaker 4: to be in every single interview. So I'm glad. I

117
00:06:09,960 --> 00:06:11,120
Speaker 4: guess I left a good impression.

118
00:06:11,520 --> 00:06:15,440
Speaker 3: What made you an effective and good team captain?

119
00:06:15,720 --> 00:06:18,159
Speaker 4: I would say the number one thing that I lead

120
00:06:18,240 --> 00:06:21,280
Speaker 4: with love, and I don't I don't just you know,

121
00:06:21,680 --> 00:06:25,440
Speaker 4: attach myself to the starters or the other linebackers or

122
00:06:25,480 --> 00:06:28,320
Speaker 4: the other like like other good players, like I don't

123
00:06:28,360 --> 00:06:30,400
Speaker 4: care like what your role is or who you are.

124
00:06:30,560 --> 00:06:34,159
Speaker 4: I'm gonna treat you like you're the most important player

125
00:06:34,440 --> 00:06:36,599
Speaker 4: or whoever you are. So I mean, it didn't matter

126
00:06:36,640 --> 00:06:38,600
Speaker 4: if you were a walk on who never touched a

127
00:06:38,600 --> 00:06:41,000
Speaker 4: field or if you were the starting quarterback, like I

128
00:06:41,080 --> 00:06:41,839
Speaker 4: approach you the same.

129
00:06:41,880 --> 00:06:43,120
Speaker 6: I didn't talk to you any differently.

130
00:06:43,160 --> 00:06:46,960
Speaker 4: And I think that you know, seeing that authenticity, that genuine,

131
00:06:47,120 --> 00:06:49,919
Speaker 4: that genuine love and care, I think that's why you

132
00:06:49,920 --> 00:06:52,279
Speaker 4: know my teammates voting your team captain. So I would

133
00:06:52,279 --> 00:06:53,320
Speaker 4: say that's the number one thing.

134
00:06:54,440 --> 00:06:57,840
Speaker 1: In the fifth round, the Bengals selected offensive lineman Jalen

135
00:06:57,960 --> 00:07:01,359
Speaker 1: Rivers out of the University of Miami. He's six' six

136
00:07:01,880 --> 00:07:05,240
Speaker 1: roughly three hundred and twenty pounds and helped protect the

137
00:07:05,320 --> 00:07:08,599
Speaker 1: number one pick in this year's, draft Cam ward And

138
00:07:08,720 --> 00:07:12,239

Speaker 1: Game here's offensive Coordinator Dan. Pitcher really impressive, guy.

142
00:07:26,640 --> 00:07:34,280
Speaker 7: Very, smart physically, gifted, versatile has has really played just

143
00:07:34,320 --> 00:07:36,920
Speaker 7: about an equal share of his snaps at guard and,

144
00:07:37,000 --> 00:07:40,200
Speaker 7: tackle oftentimes within game playing guard and.

145
00:07:40,280 --> 00:07:41,560
Speaker 1: Tackle so that.

146
00:07:41,560 --> 00:07:44,000
Speaker 7: Versatility really speaks to the VALUE i think he'll provide

147
00:07:44,040 --> 00:07:48,680
Speaker 7: us at this. Level adding a super high character, guy great,

Speaker 7: Better we feel really good about, that and it is

153
00:08:03,200 --> 00:08:05,600
Speaker 7: key that as you're adding guys who you expect to

154
00:08:05,760 --> 00:08:11,040
Speaker 7: compete potentially serve is depth pieces at least initially that

155
00:08:11,120 --> 00:08:14,600

280
00:14:07,080 --> 00:14:11,080
Speaker 1: let's start with fourth round draft Pick Barrett carter out Of.

281
00:14:11,120 --> 00:14:14,760
Speaker 1: Clemson they doubled down on the linebacker. Position this guy's

282
00:14:14,760 --> 00:14:17,440
Speaker 1: got good. CREDENTIALS a three year starter for The, tigers

283
00:14:17,480 --> 00:14:19,600
Speaker 1: he was a. Captain he rarely came off the, field

284
00:14:19,680 --> 00:14:23,160
Speaker 1: whether it was defense or special. TEAMS i would imagine

285
00:14:23,160 --> 00:14:26,560
Speaker 1: he'll certainly play a special teams role right. AWAY i

286
00:14:26,600 --> 00:14:29,200
Speaker 1: read in one report a scout from another team gave

287
00:14:29,280 --> 00:14:31,160
Speaker 1: him a second round. Grade so The bengals weren't the

288
00:14:31,240 --> 00:14:33,280

289
00:14:33,280 --> 00:14:33,520

00:15:53,520 --> 00:16:00,520
Speaker 3: zero for The Clemson. Tigers so obviously they like his skill,

314
00:16:00,560 --> 00:16:04,040
Speaker 3: set the fact that he was a, captain a, leader

315
00:16:04,160 --> 00:16:09,320
Speaker 3: highly regarded by his. Teammates and the, thing the thing

316
00:16:09,360 --> 00:16:12,920
Speaker 3: that impresses me about every one of these draft, picks

317
00:16:13,360 --> 00:16:16,720
Speaker 3: And i'm sure the when the coaches interviewed him and

318
00:16:16,760 --> 00:16:20,120
Speaker 3: when the organizational people interviewed, him you can see or

319
00:16:20,520 --> 00:16:23,520
Speaker 3: even see and hear how important the game is to these.

320
00:16:23,560 --> 00:16:27,960
Speaker 3: Guys you, know it's you, know they're they're they're in

321
00:16:28,000 --> 00:16:32,480
Speaker 3: it for the right. Reasons AND i think the culture

322
00:16:32,520 --> 00:16:36,520
Speaker 3: that is being built here is not being damaged whatsoever

323
00:16:36,600 --> 00:16:38,160
Speaker 3: by bringing any of these guys into the.

324
00:16:38,160 --> 00:16:41,280
Speaker 1: Mix so they doubled down at linebacker in the fourth,

325
00:16:41,360 --> 00:16:43,440
Speaker 1: round and then they doubled down on offensive line in

326
00:16:43,480 --> 00:16:45,720
Speaker 1: the fifth when they Took Jalen rivers out of The

327
00:16:45,800 --> 00:16:48,960
Speaker 1: university Of. Miami this is a guy who basically split

328
00:16:49,000 --> 00:16:52,720
Speaker 1: his time between tackle and guard for The, hurricanes dabbled

329
00:16:52,720 --> 00:16:55,240
Speaker 1: in center at The Senior. BOWL i don't think people

330
00:16:55,280 --> 00:16:57,480
Speaker 1: expecting to play center in THE, Nfl but when you

331
00:16:57,520 --> 00:17:00,520
Speaker 1: take an offensive lineman in the fifth, round you're probably

332
00:17:00,560 --> 00:17:02,800
Speaker 1: not expecting him to be a starter right, away but

333
00:17:02,960 --> 00:17:05,640
Speaker 1: you are hoping he can be an important reserve right.

334
00:17:05,680 --> 00:17:08,879
Speaker 1: Away and having that versatility between tackle and guard is.

335
00:17:08,880 --> 00:17:11,879
Speaker 3: Big it Is. Dan you, know here's a guy that

336
00:17:12,119 --> 00:17:16,159
Speaker 3: uh sixty, six three hundred and twenty pounds almost a

337
00:17:16,240 --> 00:17:19,720
Speaker 3: thirty five inch arm, length so you, know his wingspan

338
00:17:20,000 --> 00:17:25,600
Speaker 3: is enormous as. Well he had ten starts at left,

339
00:17:25,600 --> 00:17:29,560
Speaker 3: guard twenty one excuse, me at left, tackle and twenty one.

340
00:17:29,640 --> 00:17:29,880
Speaker 6: Start.

341
00:17:30,000 --> 00:17:32,880
Speaker 3: No twenty one starts at left, tackle ten starts at left.

342
00:17:32,920 --> 00:17:36,399
Speaker 3: Guard that's how it broke. Down when you look at this,

343
00:17:36,440 --> 00:17:41,720
Speaker 3: GUY i wouldn't call him, athletic BUT i would call

344
00:17:41,800 --> 00:17:47,840
Speaker 3: him fundamentally and technically. Sound and it's, repetitive you, know

345
00:17:47,920 --> 00:17:50,879
Speaker 3: it's not like every snap he's doing something. DIFFERENT i

346
00:17:50,880 --> 00:17:53,480
Speaker 3: mean the guy has it down in terms of how

347
00:17:53,480 --> 00:17:56,240
Speaker 3: he wants to approach blocking people to the line of.

348
00:17:56,240 --> 00:17:58,760
Speaker 3: Scrimmage and as big as he, IS i, mean he

349
00:17:58,880 --> 00:18:01,640
Speaker 3: reminds me of like you, know A Bruce raymers type

350
00:18:01,640 --> 00:18:04,439
Speaker 3: of guy back in the, day just eclipses the. SUN i,

351
00:18:04,440 --> 00:18:06,800
Speaker 3: mean he takes up so much, space so much. ROOM

352
00:18:07,760 --> 00:18:11,359
Speaker 3: i could see, him you, know competing at both, positions

353
00:18:12,000 --> 00:18:15,040
Speaker 3: and like you, say not necessarily a starting. Role but

354
00:18:15,160 --> 00:18:21,080
Speaker 3: like we talked about earlier, today every offensive lineman in today's,

355
00:18:21,119 --> 00:18:25,080
Speaker 3: game unless you're you, know a stud pro bowl guard

356
00:18:25,160 --> 00:18:27,959
Speaker 3: or tackle and you're going to stay, there you have

357
00:18:28,000 --> 00:18:31,359
Speaker 3: to be able to have a position. Versatility you've got

358
00:18:31,359 --> 00:18:35,120
Speaker 3: to be able to move. Around and game day there's

359
00:18:35,160 --> 00:18:38,119
Speaker 3: not ten, linemen you, know so somebody is going to

360
00:18:38,200 --> 00:18:40,919
Speaker 3: have to potentially do a little bit more than one

361
00:18:40,960 --> 00:18:43,600
Speaker 3: position if there's, injuries god, forbid or if you want

362
00:18:43,640 --> 00:18:46,760
Speaker 3: to give somebody a break or A blosso a guy

363
00:18:47,040 --> 00:18:49,600
Speaker 3: like that who's, proven you, know at a high Level

364
00:18:49,760 --> 00:18:53,080
Speaker 3: Miami florida football is pretty. Good and you, know for

365
00:18:53,160 --> 00:18:56,440
Speaker 3: him to have double digit starts at both left guard

366
00:18:56,560 --> 00:18:59,119
Speaker 3: and left tackle in his career and, then like you,

367
00:18:59,119 --> 00:19:03,200
Speaker 3: said dabbled at, center at The Senior. Bowl it tells

368
00:19:03,240 --> 00:19:07,000
Speaker 3: you something about the kid that when the coaches at

369
00:19:07,040 --> 00:19:11,920
Speaker 3: The Senior bowl were working with, him his FOOTBALL iq

370
00:19:12,119 --> 00:19:14,440
Speaker 3: must be pretty high because they're like going and take

371
00:19:14,480 --> 00:19:17,439
Speaker 3: some snaps at center because the center makes a lot of,

372
00:19:17,440 --> 00:19:20,639
Speaker 3: calls and so he must be able to assimilate, quickly you,

373
00:19:20,640 --> 00:19:24,280
Speaker 3: know new, information new, offenses new, schemes and that's a good.

374
00:19:24,320 --> 00:19:27,600
Speaker 3: SIGN i think that never, Never, REALLY i don't know

375
00:19:27,680 --> 00:19:29,640
Speaker 3: this for. SURE i, MEAN i don't. Know they didn't list.

376
00:19:29,640 --> 00:19:31,320
Speaker 3: It he played any, games But i'm not sure if

377
00:19:31,359 --> 00:19:34,439
Speaker 3: he took any practice snaps at center was At, Miami.

378
00:19:34,480 --> 00:19:36,720
Speaker 3: Florida but for him to do that at The Senior

379
00:19:36,760 --> 00:19:40,720
Speaker 3: bowl against really good, competition even you, know in, practices

380
00:19:40,760 --> 00:19:43,840
Speaker 3: he's going against the best in college. Football That's Senior.

381
00:19:43,880 --> 00:19:47,080
Speaker 3: Bowl it's the all star game of all star. Games

382
00:19:47,600 --> 00:19:51,560

383
00:19:52,240 --> 00:19:54,800
Speaker 3: not look like you don't. Belong it says something about

384
00:19:54,840 --> 00:19:55,320
Speaker 3: the guy in his.

385
00:19:55,440 --> 00:19:58,760

Speaker 1: brooks out Of Texas. TECH i thought they would take

387

Speaker 1: a running back at some point because this was such

388
00:20:03,480 --> 00:20:06,400
Speaker 1: a great year for running. Backs the talent was too

389
00:20:06,440 --> 00:20:10,119

408
00:21:12,040 --> 00:21:15,119

413
00:21:27,280 --> 00:21:29,480

416
00:21:34,359 --> 00:21:37,560
Speaker 3: them and not just the running back. Position this draft.

417
00:21:37,680 --> 00:21:41,119
Speaker 3: Had in my, OPINION i don't know how Many Pro

418
00:21:41,160 --> 00:21:43,280
Speaker 3: bowlers it's going to. Have you never. Know you can't

Speaker 3: Forecast pro. BOWLERS i don't think you. Know it's it's

420
00:21:47,200 --> 00:21:51,040
Speaker 3: it's it's very. Difficult but it has so many good football.

421
00:21:51,040 --> 00:21:55,040
Speaker 3: Players and the running back position may have had from

422
00:21:55,440 --> 00:21:58,280
Speaker 3: a ratio, standpoint as many good football players as any

423
00:21:58,280 --> 00:22:01,760
Speaker 3: position group in the. Draft so to have a guy like,

424
00:22:01,840 --> 00:22:06,639
Speaker 3: that she'll be. Around i'd pick one ninety. THREE i

425
00:22:06,680 --> 00:22:09,680
Speaker 3: bet The bengals in the room are, like let's let's

426
00:22:09,760 --> 00:22:14,080
Speaker 3: get this done before anybody realizes this is a brink.

427
00:22:14,200 --> 00:22:18,520
Speaker 1: Robbery all, right let's wrap things. Up this draft reminds

428
00:22:18,520 --> 00:22:21,159
Speaker 1: me of the twenty twenty draft To Joe burrow, draft

429
00:22:21,560 --> 00:22:25,399
Speaker 1: not that they drafted anybody Like. Joe that happens, once you,

430
00:22:25,400 --> 00:22:28,600
Speaker 1: know in a franchise's, history or maybe a few times

431
00:22:28,600 --> 00:22:31,040
Speaker 1: in a franchise's. History but the way that they are

432
00:22:31,160 --> 00:22:35,480
Speaker 1: similar is the character. Qualities in twenty, twenty every player

433
00:22:35,520 --> 00:22:38,240
Speaker 1: that they took except FOR T higgins was a team,

434
00:22:38,280 --> 00:22:41,040
Speaker 1: captain AND t would have been had he Stated clemson

435
00:22:41,119 --> 00:22:44,600
Speaker 1: for one more. Year very similar this time. Around these

436
00:22:44,640 --> 00:22:52,400
Speaker 1: guys have great, character very engaging, personalities good. Backstories Demetrius

437
00:22:52,480 --> 00:22:55,920
Speaker 1: knight is a married father of. TWO i really think

438
00:22:55,960 --> 00:22:58,119
Speaker 1: they leaned heavily on the character aspect this.

439
00:22:58,240 --> 00:23:00,639
Speaker 3: YEAR i couldn't agree with you more or you, know

440
00:23:01,800 --> 00:23:05,240
Speaker 3: and you look at it that they're all, leaders they're

441
00:23:05,280 --> 00:23:07,760
Speaker 3: all passionate about the game of. FOOTBALL i we talked

442
00:23:07,800 --> 00:23:10,000
Speaker 3: about the game of football is very important to, them

443
00:23:11,600 --> 00:23:14,159
Speaker 3: and you, know you have to have some nasty in,

444
00:23:14,240 --> 00:23:18,520
Speaker 3: you and particularly the the guys in the trenches and the,

445
00:23:18,560 --> 00:23:21,359
Speaker 3: linebackers and they've got appropriate nasty in. Them you. Know

446
00:23:21,400 --> 00:23:24,960
Speaker 3: it's it's like the. Game they're they're all, physical like you,

447
00:23:25,000 --> 00:23:29,360
Speaker 3: said they're all, competitive they're all got high FOOTBALL. Iq

448
00:23:30,440 --> 00:23:38,639
Speaker 3: as you said. CAPTAINS i think the the overwhelming common

449
00:23:38,680 --> 00:23:41,080
Speaker 3: denominator for me and a lot of these picks in

450
00:23:41,119 --> 00:23:47,639
Speaker 3: the draft is character and football. Character and they're, different

451
00:23:49,480 --> 00:23:51,840
Speaker 3: but you, know there's some traits that are, similar but

452
00:23:51,880 --> 00:23:55,320
Speaker 3: football character is a little bit a little bit different

453
00:23:55,359 --> 00:24:00,840
Speaker 3: because you, know you're you have to be, physical you

454
00:24:00,920 --> 00:24:04,159
Speaker 3: have to be, competitive you have to try, to you,

455
00:24:04,200 --> 00:24:06,600
Speaker 3: know beat the other guy at all costs kind of.

456
00:24:06,600 --> 00:24:10,480
Speaker 3: Thing and you, know there are some things going out,

457
00:24:10,480 --> 00:24:12,800
Speaker 3: there hand in hand combat where if we're out in

458
00:24:12,840 --> 00:24:15,040
Speaker 3: the streets and with the general, public to be a

459
00:24:15,480 --> 00:24:18,159
Speaker 3: warrant for your, arrest you, know and. That but that's

460
00:24:19,080 --> 00:24:22,919
Speaker 3: but guys that can compete at that level within their

461
00:24:22,960 --> 00:24:24,840
Speaker 3: framework of the rules of the of the game and

462
00:24:24,840 --> 00:24:28,240
Speaker 3: everything that that's high football. Character and when and when

463
00:24:28,240 --> 00:24:31,640
Speaker 3: they get recognized for their leadership qualities and they become,

464
00:24:31,720 --> 00:24:34,919
Speaker 3: captains you, KNOW i think that's a big. Deal and,

Speaker 3: a it's a destination that guys want to be a part.

469
00:24:45,880 --> 00:24:48,639
Speaker 3: Of Joe burrow is a big factor in. THAT i,

470
00:24:48,640 --> 00:24:51,280
Speaker 3: mean this guy is he's. Special he's he's a special,

471
00:24:51,280 --> 00:24:54,200
Speaker 3: player a special. Person and you know the two wide

472

475
00:25:06,760 --> 00:25:09,159
Speaker 3: he couldn't have gone to a better. Team he'll be

476
00:25:09,160 --> 00:25:11,719
Speaker 3: the first to tell you that his pass protection is

477
00:25:11,720 --> 00:25:13,679
Speaker 3: a cut above is run blocking right. Now it's not

478
00:25:13,720 --> 00:25:16,280
Speaker 3: like he can't run, block but he is an unbelievable

479
00:25:16,320 --> 00:25:20,159
Speaker 3: pass protector because of his balance due to, wrestling and you,

480
00:25:20,200 --> 00:25:23,560
Speaker 3: know two time state, champion AND i mean he's, flexible

481
00:25:23,640 --> 00:25:27,199
Speaker 3: he's he's got a. Balance and you, KNOW i like

482
00:25:27,440 --> 00:25:29,639
Speaker 3: that picked in because you know that will solidify the.

483
00:25:29,680 --> 00:25:32,720
Speaker 3: Pocket you, know it'll it'll keep it. Firm if You

484
00:25:32,960 --> 00:25:36,720
Speaker 3: Joe brow a firm, pocket damage will be. Done SO i,

485
00:25:36,720 --> 00:25:39,680
Speaker 3: MEAN i, LIKE i like a lot of these picks

486
00:25:39,720 --> 00:25:42,120
Speaker 3: for a lot of. Reasons AND i know the naysayers

487
00:25:42,119 --> 00:25:44,480
Speaker 3: out there are, like, yeah, WELL i don't have a

488
00:25:44,560 --> 00:25:48,520
Speaker 3: problem with how they addressed the, draft and you shouldn't

489
00:25:48,560 --> 00:25:51,159
Speaker 3: because they basically did what they said they were going to.

490
00:25:51,200 --> 00:25:53,520
Speaker 3: Do you, know we're gonna get better in the. Middle

491
00:25:53,600 --> 00:25:55,679
Speaker 3: we're going to address the interior the offensive, line going

492
00:25:55,720 --> 00:25:58,879
Speaker 3: to address the interior the defensive line, linebackers and they

493
00:25:58,960 --> 00:26:02,159
Speaker 3: did that for the most. Part people's gripe is is

494
00:26:02,160 --> 00:26:05,199
Speaker 3: it the right? People AND i mean, that you, know

495
00:26:05,200 --> 00:26:08,640
Speaker 3: everybody will Tell, yeah everybody has an, opinion but nobody

496
00:26:08,720 --> 00:26:10,760
Speaker 3: knows for sure right. Now that's for.

497
00:26:10,800 --> 00:26:13,120
Speaker 1: Sure that's always the case with the. Draft final. Thing

498
00:26:13,600 --> 00:26:16,400
Speaker 1: the guy who has the biggest impact as a rookie

499
00:26:16,880 --> 00:26:21,080
Speaker 1: and the guy who has the greatest Career i'll say

500
00:26:21,200 --> 00:26:24,000
Speaker 1: impact is a Rookie Dylan. FAIRCHILD i mean they've more

501
00:26:24,080 --> 00:26:27,439
Speaker 1: or less said the left guard job is his unless

502
00:26:27,440 --> 00:26:29,359
Speaker 1: something goes wrong between now and the start of the.

503
00:26:29,400 --> 00:26:33,920
Speaker 1: Season best career hard to not Take Shamar stewart. THERE

504
00:26:34,480 --> 00:26:39,960
Speaker 1: i think the floor on his career Is Sam. Hubbard solid,

505
00:26:40,080 --> 00:26:44,439
Speaker 1: pro maybe never makes A Pro bowl or has double digit,

506
00:26:44,560 --> 00:26:46,159
Speaker 1: sacks but he's going to help you win a lot of.

507
00:26:46,200 --> 00:26:49,199
Speaker 1: Games and the ceiling is close To Miles. GARRETT i,

508
00:26:49,200 --> 00:26:52,640
Speaker 1: mean will he be that? Good that's impossible to. Say

509
00:26:52,680 --> 00:26:55,639
Speaker 1: Miles garrett was the first pick in the. DRAFT Nfl

510
00:26:55,720 --> 00:26:57,840
Speaker 1: defensive player of The, year you could never say. That

511
00:26:58,119 --> 00:27:03,240
Speaker 1: but he's got the same side, speed athletic. Ability if

512
00:27:03,280 --> 00:27:06,239
Speaker 1: he's deployed properly and coached, well he can be a

513
00:27:06,359 --> 00:27:07,480
Speaker 1: multi Time pro.

514
00:27:07,560 --> 00:27:11,199
Speaker 3: Bowler, YEAH i agree with your, selections stand you, KNOW

515
00:27:11,320 --> 00:27:13,560
Speaker 3: i mean these guys are drafted on the higher end

516
00:27:13,600 --> 00:27:17,600
Speaker 3: of it for a. Reason from an initial, standpoint you,

517
00:27:17,640 --> 00:27:21,560
Speaker 3: know from a, contribution it's going to be very interesting

518
00:27:21,600 --> 00:27:25,080
Speaker 3: to see what they do With Shamar stewart because he

519
00:27:25,200 --> 00:27:29,840
Speaker 3: is another case of unbelievably. Versatile he can play in

520
00:27:30,760 --> 00:27:33,480
Speaker 3: rush outside obviously it can be a wide, nine or you,

521
00:27:33,560 --> 00:27:36,000
Speaker 3: know he can get on the shoulder of the tackle

522
00:27:36,040 --> 00:27:38,080
Speaker 3: and rush and then kick inside and do the same

523
00:27:38,119 --> 00:27:39,919
Speaker 3: thing with a guard getting on the shoulder or just you,

524
00:27:39,920 --> 00:27:43,160
Speaker 3: know inside on him or right over him in bull,

525
00:27:43,200 --> 00:27:45,520
Speaker 3: him and he can he can really do almost anything

526
00:27:45,560 --> 00:27:48,199
Speaker 3: they're lining up in the run in the. PAST i

527
00:27:48,200 --> 00:27:51,200
Speaker 3: mean he. Is he's a puzzling guy because, man when

528
00:27:51,200 --> 00:27:54,359
Speaker 3: you look at his physical, attributes it doesn't add up to,

529
00:27:54,480 --> 00:27:59,800
Speaker 3: production you, know but you, wonder is how much of

530
00:27:59,840 --> 00:28:02,800
Speaker 3: it related to? Scheme are they asking him to do

531
00:28:02,880 --> 00:28:06,920
Speaker 3: something that isn't conducive to him displaying his amazing gifts

532
00:28:08,200 --> 00:28:11,359
Speaker 3: or is It you know a guy that has thirty

533
00:28:11,440 --> 00:28:14,239
Speaker 3: nine pressures in this year and converts it to one

534
00:28:14,280 --> 00:28:17,359
Speaker 3: and a half. Sacks it just makes you scratch your.

535
00:28:17,359 --> 00:28:20,800
Speaker 3: Head but with, him a lot of times you look

536
00:28:20,840 --> 00:28:24,280
Speaker 3: and he's within an arm grab of a guy because

537
00:28:24,280 --> 00:28:27,200
Speaker 3: of his athletic. Ability guys can't get as close as

538
00:28:27,200 --> 00:28:29,280
Speaker 3: he gets because they can't they don't have that kind

539
00:28:29,280 --> 00:28:32,840
Speaker 3: of burst and acceleration and closing. Speed SO i, mean

540
00:28:32,880 --> 00:28:35,800
Speaker 3: it's almost like you have to have separate. CATEGORIES i,

541
00:28:35,840 --> 00:28:38,600
Speaker 3: mean is that really a miss sack or is that

542
00:28:38,760 --> 00:28:40,320
Speaker 3: just a freak that you, Know oh my, gosh you

543
00:28:40,320 --> 00:28:43,239
Speaker 3: shouldn't have been there. Anyway and THEN i don't, know

544
00:28:43,320 --> 00:28:47,960
Speaker 3: maybe you know a different coaching staff approaching it differently with.

545
00:28:48,080 --> 00:28:53,120
Speaker 3: Him ALL i know is this. Guy if somebody said to,

546
00:28:53,200 --> 00:29:00,440

Speaker 3: Inches you got to be kidding. Me so IT'S i

550
00:29:12,400 --> 00:29:14,880

588
00:31:20,720 --> 00:31:23,280
Speaker 3: know all the things we talked about earlier with. Him his.

589
00:31:23,480 --> 00:31:29,400
Speaker 3: Balance you, know if he does get taken off, balance

590
00:31:29,560 --> 00:31:32,400
Speaker 3: his recovery is unbelievable because of the. Wrestling that was

591
00:31:32,440 --> 00:31:35,040
Speaker 3: the thing WITH. Crimrai it's, like, OH i, think, NO

592
00:31:35,280 --> 00:31:37,680
Speaker 3: i don't have. HIM i have a gun, man you,

594
00:31:41,360 --> 00:31:43,960
Speaker 3: Blocker AND i think he'll get he'll get better with.

595
00:31:44,000 --> 00:31:47,360
Speaker 3: That but his his lateral side to side, Movement dan

596
00:31:49,120 --> 00:31:51,760
Speaker 3: we had we used to have a drill where there'd

597
00:31:51,760 --> 00:31:56,120
Speaker 3: be you, know cones ten yards apart and a defensive

598
00:31:56,160 --> 00:31:59,040
Speaker 3: lineman would be changing direction and you had to mirror

599
00:31:59,160 --> 00:32:02,120
Speaker 3: him we called it Mirror dodge, drill and you, know

600
00:32:02,160 --> 00:32:04,320
Speaker 3: we had some pretty quick defensive. Linemen Like Mike reeder was,

601
00:32:04,360 --> 00:32:05,840
Speaker 3: like oh my, god how AM i going to stay

602
00:32:05,840 --> 00:32:08,480
Speaker 3: with this? Guy? Laterally AND i didn't do all of

603
00:32:08,480 --> 00:32:11,040
Speaker 3: that great with, him BUT i mean it was, like

604
00:32:11,640 --> 00:32:14,200
Speaker 3: as AS i got, BETTER i, Thought, man this guy's

605
00:32:14,240 --> 00:32:17,880
Speaker 3: really he's really helping my lateral. Equipments. Here this guy

606
00:32:18,080 --> 00:32:20,920
Speaker 3: his lateral. MOVEMENT i think that's why he's such. Good Pastor.

607
00:32:21,400 --> 00:32:25,600
Speaker 3: Stout he anchors because of, wrestling bending at the, knees

608
00:32:25,680 --> 00:32:27,760
Speaker 3: not at the, waist so he's getting the pad level

609
00:32:27,800 --> 00:32:31,440
Speaker 3: low in a good form and then, man he can

610
00:32:31,440 --> 00:32:34,320
Speaker 3: move side to. Side Joe burrow's gonna love. HIM i

611
00:32:34,320 --> 00:32:35,880
Speaker 3: think The pocket's gonna be a lot. Firmer.

612
00:32:35,960 --> 00:32:38,520
Speaker 1: MAN i Think Dave lapham's gonna love him. Too and

613
00:32:38,600 --> 00:32:41,800
