So and 0:02:00.240 --> 0:02:03.240 thank to them, and thanks to the people who follow 0:02:03.280 --> 0:02:04.000 us throughout the. 0:02:04.040 --> 0:02:05.240 Year, no doubt about that. 0:02:05.240 --> 0:02:08.840 That's awesome And it's odd thinking I was thinking about 0:02:08.840 --> 0:02:10.520 it on the way to go get some coffee here 0:02:10.520 --> 0:02:12.120 in a second ago, and I was like, man, Brian 0:02:12.200 --> 0:02:14.880 hadn't been on for three shows. It's er that you 0:02:14.880 --> 0:02:16.679 you aren't on for that period of time. 0:02:16.720 --> 0:02:19.200 But we are glad to be bad I was losing. 0:02:21.040 --> 0:02:23.640 He's probably watched fifty players since he was last on 0:02:23.680 --> 0:02:25.960 this show because he had to get it going. 0:02:26.320 --> 0:02:27.359 But we're glad to have you back. 0:02:27.360 --> 0:02:29.440 Glad can get you back safe, and we'll have Brian 0:02:30.120 --> 0:02:34.880 or Bobby and Zach on through later shows as well 0:02:35.000 --> 0:02:38.000 as they make their return from Las Vegas too. All Right, 0:02:38.200 --> 0:02:40.440 it's time to talk about Mike Zimmer. Of course, it's 0:02:40.440 --> 0:02:43.200 official now he is your defensive coordinator. 0:02:43.280 --> 0:02:44.040 In Dallas. 0:02:44.800 --> 0:02:47.799 There was always the dan Quinn guys, right, there was 0:02:47.840 --> 0:02:52.120 always those guys that you look at that are the long, lanky, athletics, 0:02:52.120 --> 0:02:53.800 speedy defensive players. 0:02:54.560 --> 0:02:57.080 Does Mike Zimmer have a type of guy? Brian? 0:02:57.280 --> 0:03:00.680 Yeah. I think what you're gonna now going to realize 0:03:00.680 --> 0:03:04.440 with Mike is he's going to ask you for some 0:03:04.560 --> 0:03:07.520 press corners. He's going to ask you for some guys 0:03:07.520 --> 0:03:10.600 that have those sweet feet that we like to talk about, 0:03:10.680 --> 0:03:13.760 the ability to jam, to turn, to run, to carry. 0:03:14.240 --> 0:03:16.359 Those are all things that we're gonna have to look about. 0:03:17.480 --> 0:03:19.600 We're gonna have to talk about those ones and those 0:03:19.639 --> 0:03:24.440 three techniques inside. He's always had a good combination of 0:03:24.480 --> 0:03:27.799 those guys. He's played with some small linebackers in his day. 0:03:28.080 --> 0:03:30.640 He's played with some long linebackers in his day. He 0:03:30.800 --> 0:03:33.160 likes the safety that's going to play with some range. 0:03:33.160 --> 0:03:35.400 It's going to play with his eyes. You know, a 0:03:35.440 --> 0:03:38.560 guy like a Harrison Smith who he had at Notre Dame. 0:03:38.720 --> 0:03:41.040 You know that type of a player, a physical player. 0:03:41.160 --> 0:03:44.680 Darren Woodson goes all the way back to the Super 0:03:44.680 --> 0:03:47.640 Bowl days. But yeah, he has a certain kind of player. 0:03:47.680 --> 0:03:50.720 And talking to Zim, there's a couple of things that 0:03:50.800 --> 0:03:53.440 he's that he's going to look at coming in. He's 0:03:53.840 --> 0:03:56.000 he's he's going to take a look at the staff. 0:03:56.000 --> 0:03:58.080 He's got to meet with this staff that's still currently 0:03:58.120 --> 0:04:00.120 here and kind of figure out because the QUI U 0:04:00.240 --> 0:04:03.280 and I asked, is okay, are you're going to bring 0:04:03.320 --> 0:04:05.080 a couple of guys in. You know there's some guys 0:04:05.080 --> 0:04:06.560 that have left that and goes, well, I just got 0:04:06.600 --> 0:04:08.720 to meet with the guys that are currently here and 0:04:08.800 --> 0:04:11.160 kind of figure that out. Now, remember Sharif Floyd played 0:04:11.200 --> 0:04:16.160 for him in Minnesota, so you know, hopefully Sharif will 0:04:16.160 --> 0:04:19.440 get that opportunity. But Mike is really excited about being here. 0:04:19.480 --> 0:04:22.960 I'm happy for him, but he is going to want 0:04:23.640 --> 0:04:28.480 players that are smart, tough and get after the ball 0:04:28.800 --> 0:04:32.120 and are dependable. And that's that's something that he's always 0:04:32.520 --> 0:04:34.479 hung his hat on. And those are the types of 0:04:34.520 --> 0:04:37.880 defensive players. You know. If you're seeing a guy on tape, 0:04:37.880 --> 0:04:40.880 we're all evaluating here, and this guy looks like, okay, 0:04:40.880 --> 0:04:44.160 football intelligence, Oh wow, look at this guy get off blocks. 0:04:44.160 --> 0:04:45.840 Oh look at this guy close. Oh look at this 0:04:45.880 --> 0:04:48.920 guy tackle. That's a Mike Zimmer type player. I'm sure 0:04:48.920 --> 0:04:51.679 there's a lot of coaches out there, but Mike specifically 0:04:52.360 --> 0:04:55.919 likes those guys that have the football intelligence but also 0:04:55.920 --> 0:04:58.159 on the outside can play a little press coverage to 0:04:58.240 --> 0:04:59.239 and run with those receivers. 0:04:59.320 --> 0:05:01.560 When you talk about discipline, you talk about physicality. I 0:05:01.600 --> 0:05:03.839 think that's two things that any fan would love to 0:05:03.839 --> 0:05:05.640 have on this defense going forward. 0:05:05.720 --> 0:05:06.520 So absolute right. 0:05:06.560 --> 0:05:08.920 I think it's interesting with how he attacks the draft process. 0:05:08.960 --> 0:05:12.200 And I mentioned this on Talking Cowboys, but somebody had 0:05:12.240 --> 0:05:15.719 asked me yesterday if with Mike Zimmer now in the building, 0:05:15.720 --> 0:05:17.680 does a guy like Tovandre Sweat become more of a 0:05:17.680 --> 0:05:21.279 big time target, like a big, physical defensive tackle who's wide. 0:05:21.440 --> 0:05:23.440 It's like, it doesn't matter if it's Mike Zimmer Hans Zimmer. 0:05:23.480 --> 0:05:26.120 It doesn't matter. Defensive coordinator could be any of us 0:05:26.120 --> 0:05:28.080 at this table. You have to be able to solidify 0:05:28.120 --> 0:05:29.640 the middle of the spine of that defense. You got 0:05:29.680 --> 0:05:32.159 to get defensive tackle help, you got to get linebacker help. 0:05:32.279 --> 0:05:34.040 I'd be okay with a big safety as well. So 0:05:34.080 --> 0:05:36.840 being able to bring that physicality along with with Mike Zimmer, 0:05:36.960 --> 0:05:38.160 I think that's going to be the biggest thing in 0:05:38.279 --> 0:05:40.480 what we look forward to as the draft process goes. 0:05:40.560 --> 0:05:43.520 Yeah, Brian mentioned the IQ players and things like that. 0:05:43.560 --> 0:05:47.279 When you look at Zimmer systems, you know, adaptability is 0:05:47.279 --> 0:05:49.120 one of the best things you could put on your resume. 0:05:49.279 --> 0:05:52.120 Correct And one thing I noticed about him is that, uh, 0:05:52.120 --> 0:05:55.359 he plays the matchup game really well. But with the adaptability, 0:05:55.440 --> 0:05:59.200 he's not asking guys to do totally different things. You 0:05:59.440 --> 0:06:02.039 have to be to do multiple things within your position 0:06:02.240 --> 0:06:04.120 and do them well and stick to them and do 0:06:04.200 --> 0:06:07.560 them well. So I think that's the most exciting thing 0:06:07.600 --> 0:06:11.080 about the hire to me is my basket worker still 0:06:11.120 --> 0:06:13.640 did a great breakdown on just how much he is 0:06:13.680 --> 0:06:16.960 willing to say Okay, we saw it the other days 0:06:17.000 --> 0:06:20.160 like spacers like Okay, y'all gonna keep pressing his line well, 0:06:20.760 --> 0:06:24.000 the adaptability to be an end game and to also 0:06:24.480 --> 0:06:27.200 play the matchup game. It's something that I'm really hoping 0:06:27.240 --> 0:06:30.080 for with the next with the next coordinator, because I 0:06:30.200 --> 0:06:34.799 just I never understood how it works for coordinators that say, Okay, 0:06:34.839 --> 0:06:36.600 well this is what we are, this is what we're 0:06:36.600 --> 0:06:41.080 gonna do. I mean, isn't it natural to want someone 0:06:41.120 --> 0:06:44.360 that can, you know, roll with the punches and make 0:06:44.440 --> 0:06:46.919 changes on the fly. And so I'm looking That's what 0:06:47.000 --> 0:06:48.760 I'm looking at with him coming in. 0:06:48.960 --> 0:06:51.080 And dan Quinn had an element of that to him 0:06:51.080 --> 0:06:53.840 as well, which is what made him a successful defensive coordinator. 0:06:53.839 --> 0:06:56.120 But there's nothing that Mike Zimmer has not seen in 0:06:56.160 --> 0:06:58.440 the NFL at this point. I mean he's seen a 0:06:58.440 --> 0:07:00.760 little bit of everything, and there's there's an element to 0:07:00.920 --> 0:07:05.280 that when it comes to Zimmer and the fit that 0:07:05.320 --> 0:07:09.040 he has here, is there something that he's going to 0:07:09.120 --> 0:07:11.880 immediately say this is the top priority for this defense. 0:07:11.920 --> 0:07:14.640 Because the first year for dan Quinn back in twenty 0:07:14.680 --> 0:07:16.240 twenty one, he came in and said, we. 0:07:16.200 --> 0:07:18.040 Need edge rushers, we need linebacker. 0:07:18.040 --> 0:07:20.440 We went and got Michael Parsons at that twelve spot 0:07:20.440 --> 0:07:22.080 and they gave him that first round pick. 0:07:22.560 --> 0:07:24.240 Do you think there's something similar that could happen with 0:07:24.280 --> 0:07:25.040 Zimmer coming in here? 0:07:25.080 --> 0:07:27.000 Again, I don't think it's a Mike Zimmer specific questions, 0:07:27.080 --> 0:07:28.880 just whatever they got in the middle of that defense. 0:07:28.960 --> 0:07:30.960 Yeah, I'll be able to address. 0:07:30.560 --> 0:07:33.560 Agree right right, But I do I will say, like 0:07:33.640 --> 0:07:35.760 when we talk about it is going to be interesting 0:07:35.800 --> 0:07:38.160 to see how he handles it because you know, with 0:07:38.240 --> 0:07:40.360 the Cowboys this past year, Yeah, you could run up 0:07:40.400 --> 0:07:42.280 the middle, but the coverage in the middle of. 0:07:42.240 --> 0:07:43.640 The field was a huge problem. 0:07:43.880 --> 0:07:46.840 So even when you're addressing things like linebacker, are you 0:07:46.920 --> 0:07:50.640 looking for linebackers that are able to drop in coverage 0:07:50.680 --> 0:07:53.040 and do more or are you looking for I'm coming 0:07:53.080 --> 0:07:55.760 down stopping to run consistently, Like there has to be 0:07:55.800 --> 0:07:57.600 a balance. So I do think it's going to play 0:07:57.640 --> 0:08:00.160 into some of his decision making as well. 0:08:00.240 --> 0:08:01.720 With the linebacker specifically. 0:08:02.080 --> 0:08:04.840 I think if Mike Zimmer and I haven't asked in this, 0:08:04.960 --> 0:08:08.520 but I guarantee in the time that he's been waiting 0:08:08.600 --> 0:08:12.040 for this job to materialize, that he sat down and 0:08:12.080 --> 0:08:15.360 watched your tape and he has an idea of he 0:08:15.400 --> 0:08:18.480 has an idea of you know, coming in here and saying, Okay, 0:08:18.800 --> 0:08:23.040 when he meets with Will about the personnel, the first 0:08:23.160 --> 0:08:25.520 question he's probably going to ask is, what was your 0:08:25.520 --> 0:08:28.320 plan with Mazzi Smith? You know, what was what was 0:08:28.360 --> 0:08:31.920 your plan with that? Where? Why was it a three 0:08:32.040 --> 0:08:36.240 hundred and twenty nine pound one technique now a three 0:08:36.360 --> 0:08:38.760 hundred are excuse me, a two hundred ninety three pound three? 0:08:39.280 --> 0:08:41.520 You know, what's your plan there? What was what was 0:08:41.840 --> 0:08:45.640 the thinking? And to your point, Nick, he's going to 0:08:45.679 --> 0:08:48.720 look at those linebackers too. He's going to realize though, 0:08:49.240 --> 0:08:51.360 and Will's going to probably trying to explain to him 0:08:51.400 --> 0:08:53.840 and like, listen, we took a gamble. We placed so 0:08:53.960 --> 0:08:57.360 much nickel and dime and we you know, we gambled 0:08:57.400 --> 0:09:00.600 on going a little bit light at linebacker. We had 0:09:00.679 --> 0:09:04.160 injuries there that killed us. Dan had to play around 0:09:04.200 --> 0:09:08.360 it with you know, with Bell and others. But Mike's like, Okay, 0:09:08.800 --> 0:09:11.800 we're going to get linebackers here, right, and well it's 0:09:11.800 --> 0:09:13.719 going to go, yeah, we're going to get linebackers here. 0:09:13.760 --> 0:09:15.959 So you know, when you start to talk about Jerry 0:09:16.040 --> 0:09:19.080 Jones and all in pushing chips in, I think free 0:09:19.120 --> 0:09:22.360 agency and that's for a whole nother show. But uh, 0:09:22.920 --> 0:09:25.280 I wouldn't be surprised if the Cowboys look at free 0:09:25.320 --> 0:09:28.360 agent linebackers, you know, and look at there, Yeah, and 0:09:28.400 --> 0:09:30.920 there are. And that's the thing about it is that 0:09:31.120 --> 0:09:35.160 you if you get a free agent linebacker, one that 0:09:35.200 --> 0:09:37.000 could help you, like what you're talking about, I is 0:09:37.000 --> 0:09:40.240 sure that's got adaptability, flexibility, you know, run past kind 0:09:40.240 --> 0:09:42.720 of a guy, then maybe you could go ahead and 0:09:42.800 --> 0:09:45.400 use the draft, which falls right into our neck of 0:09:45.440 --> 0:09:47.960 the woods here too. The linebackers that we all like, 0:09:48.360 --> 0:09:51.120 you know, maybe okay, free agency they get a guy, now, 0:09:51.240 --> 0:09:54.920 we could take our draft show and say, okay, they're 0:09:54.960 --> 0:09:57.880 probably not going to address this early, but here here's 0:09:57.880 --> 0:10:00.679 some guys that we might see in that third, fourth 0:10:00.800 --> 0:10:03.560 round that we could go after. So there's a there's 0:10:03.640 --> 0:10:06.560 a lot of of there's gonna be a lot of 0:10:07.200 --> 0:10:09.760 things that Mike is going to come in and say 0:10:09.800 --> 0:10:12.560 he's going to want to do, and it's up to 0:10:12.640 --> 0:10:15.680 Will to kind of figure out the direction that they, 0:10:15.840 --> 0:10:18.719 you know, with the finances they have, but also the 0:10:18.800 --> 0:10:20.240 draft capital they have as well. 0:10:20.360 --> 0:10:23.400 Can I ask question, Okay, I don't know who's going 0:10:23.440 --> 0:10:26.880 to break, which room do you think benefits the most 0:10:26.920 --> 0:10:27.640 from his edition? 0:10:29.880 --> 0:10:32.800 I would say the corners, just because you look at 0:10:33.000 --> 0:10:34.959 two all pros or three if you want to throw 0:10:35.000 --> 0:10:37.480 in Staman Gilmore if he's able to come back, and 0:10:37.720 --> 0:10:40.599 the ability for Trayvon Diggs and to Ron Bland to 0:10:40.640 --> 0:10:43.440 still elevate and get better. We haven't seen the peak 0:10:43.440 --> 0:10:45.080 from either of those two guys, I don't believe. So 0:10:45.200 --> 0:10:48.400 I would say that off off rip as far as 0:10:48.400 --> 0:10:50.240 the front seven, you would have to come back to 0:10:50.240 --> 0:10:51.360 me here in about two three months. 0:10:51.400 --> 0:10:52.480 Okay, Yeah, that's fair. 0:10:53.559 --> 0:10:56.080 I think I think it's I think it's the secondary 0:10:56.160 --> 0:11:01.160 that's Mike's area of expertise he's going to I think 0:11:01.840 --> 0:11:05.480 the cop out answer is that the whole defense is 0:11:05.480 --> 0:11:07.760 going to benefit because Mike is a get in your 0:11:07.800 --> 0:11:11.400 face type of coach and it's going to be interesting 0:11:11.440 --> 0:11:14.319 to see because it's a different way of coaching than 0:11:14.440 --> 0:11:17.840 what these players have been receiving here the last three 0:11:17.960 --> 0:11:22.080 years under Dan Quinn. And that's something to me that 0:11:22.160 --> 0:11:26.240 I'm looking to see how that's going to affect some guys. 0:11:26.600 --> 0:11:30.640 I know interviewing Gilmour at the Super Bowl, you know, 0:11:30.720 --> 0:11:33.959 and he's hopeful about coming back, and you talk to 0:11:34.000 --> 0:11:36.040 people in the organization. We talk to people all the 0:11:36.040 --> 0:11:38.240 time in this place, they'd like to have him back. 0:11:38.280 --> 0:11:40.840 It's you know, you can't lowball the guy, and you 0:11:40.880 --> 0:11:43.480 know they know that. But he's the type of guy 0:11:43.520 --> 0:11:45.320 that you know, when you really sit down and visit 0:11:45.360 --> 0:11:48.120 with him, I'm like, damn, this is a sharp guy. Yeah, 0:11:48.240 --> 0:11:50.920 you know, and he cares. I mean you could see 0:11:50.960 --> 0:11:53.520 that he really bothered him, you know. But he's played 0:11:53.520 --> 0:11:55.920 on championship teams before. He knows how to do it. 0:11:55.960 --> 0:11:59.640 So my overriding thing, I think the defense is a 0:11:59.679 --> 0:12:02.079 whole bit. If it's but one specific position, I think 0:12:02.080 --> 0:12:03.000 it's the secondary. 0:12:03.240 --> 0:12:04.920 Yeah. I mean for me, I think it's just gonna 0:12:04.920 --> 0:12:06.400 be the safety room overall. 0:12:07.440 --> 0:12:09.719 With the idea that I mean we had. 0:12:09.760 --> 0:12:12.520 We interviewed one Ye Thomas on Girls Talk Boys Talking. 0:12:12.880 --> 0:12:15.280 He said like I want to be coached hard, like 0:12:15.559 --> 0:12:18.040 I'm ready, and he was excited about that. 0:12:18.080 --> 0:12:19.040 He was about to get coached. 0:12:20.760 --> 0:12:21.760 But when you look at. 0:12:22.040 --> 0:12:24.000 We've talked about the Cowboys scheming, just some of the 0:12:24.040 --> 0:12:26.160 things they do, you know, Zim he likes to run 0:12:26.200 --> 0:12:28.959 some cover too and do some things like that. He 0:12:29.000 --> 0:12:31.120 also too likes to use a robber sometimes. So I'm 0:12:31.360 --> 0:12:34.760 excited to see Donovan Wilson do some more things closer 0:12:34.760 --> 0:12:37.360 to the line of scrimmage. Again, maybe Marquise Bell do 0:12:37.440 --> 0:12:39.280 some things closer to the line of scrimmage. 0:12:39.360 --> 0:12:40.720 I do think it's gonna give. 0:12:41.679 --> 0:12:44.760 Guys like Malie Cooker the opportunity to continue to show 0:12:44.800 --> 0:12:47.280 off that sideline to signline, but maybe give one Ya 0:12:47.320 --> 0:12:50.000 Thomas some opportunities to get back there and show off 0:12:50.040 --> 0:12:52.439 what he can do in coverage as well. Side by 0:12:52.480 --> 0:12:53.760 side with Mallie Cooker. 0:12:53.960 --> 0:12:56.480 I'll say this, if if the Cowboys decide that there's 0:12:56.640 --> 0:12:58.480 a little bit of flexibility that they feel like they 0:12:58.480 --> 0:13:00.360 have in the first round and they want to eventually 0:13:00.360 --> 0:13:03.160 get a defensive guy, Tyler Newman would be very fun and. 0:13:04.480 --> 0:13:05.880 In Minnesota it's a good player. 0:13:06.040 --> 0:13:08.680 So along those same lines, let's talk about press corners. 0:13:08.760 --> 0:13:11.319 Let's talk about guys that fit that mold on the outside. 0:13:11.320 --> 0:13:13.199 Because Brian said it a moment ago. When it comes 0:13:13.240 --> 0:13:16.680 to free agency, Dallas likes to fill some spots and 0:13:16.720 --> 0:13:21.640 then allow themselves BPA possibilities to a certain extent in 0:13:21.679 --> 0:13:24.160 the NFL draft, So if they go out and let's 0:13:24.160 --> 0:13:27.280 say they fill out linebacker, they fill out defensive tackle, 0:13:27.280 --> 0:13:30.680 are there any names either late first round or mid 0:13:30.760 --> 0:13:33.199 round picks. In terms of these press corners that you've 0:13:33.200 --> 0:13:34.400 watched so far that impress you. 0:13:35.000 --> 0:13:38.319 We could start, we could start up top Coolid mcentstree 0:13:38.400 --> 0:13:41.480 is an interesting one out of Alabama, A corner corner talent. 0:13:41.559 --> 0:13:43.560 He's been there three years. He's coming out as a junior. 0:13:43.880 --> 0:13:46.440 I think when you look at Koloid mcentstry and what 0:13:46.480 --> 0:13:49.320 he still has, he's still very raw. He's got that 0:13:49.360 --> 0:13:51.200 press man ability. He's gonna jam you have the line, 0:13:51.240 --> 0:13:52.599 he's going to give you that physicality. 0:13:52.679 --> 0:13:54.040 It's the best name in the draft. 0:13:54.120 --> 0:13:57.320 Yeah, he definitely does really violent hands. I think with 0:13:57.760 --> 0:13:59.959 what what you're looking for from a Mike Zimmer time 0:14:00.240 --> 0:14:03.320 defensive back, this would be one. I've seen him in 0:14:03.360 --> 0:14:06.679 mock drafts go anywhere from eight to thirty one, So 0:14:06.760 --> 0:14:08.880 I mean he's got a long range of where he 0:14:08.880 --> 0:14:11.360 could potentially go. If you're looking at twenty four and 0:14:11.360 --> 0:14:13.520 you really like what Cooley mckinsry brings to the table, 0:14:14.000 --> 0:14:16.080 that's certainly one you could look at. If you're looking second, 0:14:16.160 --> 0:14:18.920 third round. This is the guy I've talked about a 0:14:18.920 --> 0:14:21.560 little bit. TJ. Tampa out of Iowa State. In my opinion, 0:14:21.920 --> 0:14:24.360 in my opinion, one of the he was the best defender, 0:14:24.680 --> 0:14:27.160 a best secondary defender in the Big twelve this past season. 0:14:27.400 --> 0:14:29.520 He's got that press man ability, but he's also got 0:14:29.560 --> 0:14:32.880 some zone knacks as well. You look at his ball 0:14:32.960 --> 0:14:35.680 hawking ability, his ball tracking ability as a defensive back 0:14:35.720 --> 0:14:38.000 being able to do that, had a lot of interceptions 0:14:38.040 --> 0:14:39.960 this past season. Really liked what he put together at 0:14:40.000 --> 0:14:42.560 Iowa State. I was state. They're actually really impressing me 0:14:42.600 --> 0:14:44.360 with their defensive back development over the course of the 0:14:44.440 --> 0:14:46.600 last couple of years. TJ. Tampa, I think is going 0:14:46.960 --> 0:14:48.720 to be a really good example of that. But I 0:14:48.760 --> 0:14:50.680 think he sneaks into the top fifty at some point. 0:14:50.680 --> 0:14:52.160 That's a guy that I really like out of Iowas. 0:14:52.320 --> 0:14:55.400 I should tagg him tag who Tampa? 0:14:55.480 --> 0:14:57.200 TJ Tampa, Oh talk about him? 0:14:57.320 --> 0:14:57.520 Oh? 0:14:57.720 --> 0:14:59.440 I was like, what is tagging? 0:15:00.520 --> 0:15:00.600 No? 0:15:00.760 --> 0:15:03.960 I've noticed that the change of direction and his ability 0:15:03.960 --> 0:15:07.160 to recover it is just it stands out immediately. He 0:15:07.200 --> 0:15:09.640 has a lot of calmness to his play, and that's 0:15:09.640 --> 0:15:11.760 what you're looking for for a corner also too, you're 0:15:11.800 --> 0:15:13.560 not looking for a guy that panics when the balls 0:15:13.560 --> 0:15:16.960 in the air. He's able to Like you mentioned, just 0:15:16.960 --> 0:15:18.920 the tracking ability to locate it in the air and 0:15:18.960 --> 0:15:21.120 go for it, and the speed and size combo make 0:15:21.160 --> 0:15:24.720 it difficult for receivers to get separation on him. I 0:15:25.120 --> 0:15:27.680 was I liked his burst as well, and the way 0:15:27.680 --> 0:15:29.960 he drives to the ball. He played wide receiver in 0:15:30.040 --> 0:15:31.800 high school, and you can see some of that in 0:15:31.840 --> 0:15:32.200 his play. 0:15:32.240 --> 0:15:33.480 We're starting to see that a lot. 0:15:33.600 --> 0:15:35.400 I mean, I know that guys kind of go back 0:15:35.400 --> 0:15:38.040 and forth in high school, but I do think it's 0:15:38.080 --> 0:15:39.960 hard not to notice that a lot of these gentlemen 0:15:40.000 --> 0:15:42.720 that played wide receiver relating to high school, some of 0:15:42.760 --> 0:15:45.280 them in college have those ball skills that stand out 0:15:45.320 --> 0:15:47.160 as well. No, he's a player, and to your point, 0:15:47.200 --> 0:15:49.600 Iowa State is starting to come on with it because 0:15:50.440 --> 0:15:52.520 they have to. They look across the pond, and you know, 0:15:52.680 --> 0:15:55.280 Iowa got yeah, across the corn. 0:16:01.120 --> 0:16:03.800 I know they do have them, and they froze right now. 0:16:04.200 --> 0:16:06.000 So go ahead. 0:16:05.840 --> 0:16:07.800 Let's tell you what you both You both got the 0:16:07.800 --> 0:16:10.640 player wired. You really really do this guy you talk 0:16:10.680 --> 0:16:14.600 about it. There's natural movement and balance to this guy's game. 0:16:14.840 --> 0:16:16.720 I mean, he does a really nice job of reading 0:16:16.760 --> 0:16:19.320 the quarterback and then playing the route, and he gets 0:16:19.320 --> 0:16:22.200 his hands on a lot of passes, the tracking of 0:16:22.240 --> 0:16:25.760 the ball. The size gives him an advantage here when 0:16:25.760 --> 0:16:29.000 he comes to carrying routes. The foot speed, the link 0:16:29.080 --> 0:16:31.880 to stay connected the receiver, the fluid change of direction. 0:16:32.400 --> 0:16:35.480 He loves the challenge you can tell of defending routes, 0:16:35.680 --> 0:16:40.720 he really really does. And the tackling part. He's got 0:16:40.720 --> 0:16:42.680 some wrap up to him, but he's also got some 0:16:42.720 --> 0:16:44.960 of that blockdown where he throws his body at the 0:16:44.960 --> 0:16:48.000 ball career and kind of tries to chop him down. 0:16:48.440 --> 0:16:51.120 Sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn't. Maybe he needs to 0:16:51.120 --> 0:16:53.400 wrap up a little bit. But his length makes him 0:16:53.440 --> 0:16:56.480 an ideal corner in this league. I'm glad you guys 0:16:56.480 --> 0:16:57.320 brought his name up. 0:16:57.480 --> 0:16:57.640 Yeah. 0:16:57.720 --> 0:16:59.800 Yeah, speaking of length, If you're looking for later round 0:16:59.800 --> 0:17:03.560 to press corners that you think could work on this team, 0:17:03.760 --> 0:17:05.800 look at Road Torrents out of Arizona State. He was 0:17:05.800 --> 0:17:08.200 a Shrine Bowl guy, six foot three, two hundred pounds, 0:17:08.200 --> 0:17:10.119 so he's a big dude. But he was playing boundary 0:17:10.119 --> 0:17:12.600 corner for Arizona State. He jams him off the line, 0:17:13.200 --> 0:17:14.000 that's physical. 0:17:14.040 --> 0:17:16.000 In these practices he was at one on ones. Yeah, 0:17:16.000 --> 0:17:18.560 he was absolutely beating people at the line. Physical guy. 0:17:18.680 --> 0:17:21.280 The only downside is that's probably all you have with 0:17:21.359 --> 0:17:24.000 Roe Torrns as of now, still really raw and really 0:17:24.040 --> 0:17:26.520 physical and just throwing his weight around in different directions. 0:17:26.680 --> 0:17:28.920 He's technical with his weight, but it's there's a lot 0:17:28.960 --> 0:17:30.800 of corner work that you would need to do with him. 0:17:30.800 --> 0:17:34.520 There's a similar probably a higher level prospect, but the 0:17:34.600 --> 0:17:38.800 similar scouting report. Raw athleticism, physicality, played a lot of 0:17:38.880 --> 0:17:41.439 zone in college, but he could make maybe make the 0:17:41.440 --> 0:17:43.879 switch and be a good press man corner. What do 0:17:43.920 --> 0:17:47.040 you think about Quinnon Mitchell corner from Toledo? Do you 0:17:47.080 --> 0:17:49.320 think he can maybe fit that mold a little bit too? 0:17:49.400 --> 0:17:52.160 Yes, I'm okay with Quinnon Mitchell being asked to do anything. 0:17:52.240 --> 0:17:52.440 Yeah. 0:17:52.440 --> 0:17:54.959 Sure, I'm at a senior bowl. I'm okay with him 0:17:55.000 --> 0:17:57.080 being the first corner off the board. Would be shocked 0:17:57.080 --> 0:17:59.480 if he's further than the third corner off the board. 0:17:59.520 --> 0:17:59.800 Wow. 0:18:00.160 --> 0:18:02.560 I love what Quaneon Mitchell brings to the table. He's 0:18:02.560 --> 0:18:06.000 not this like overwhelming guy that you look at with size. 0:18:06.040 --> 0:18:08.439 It's like, gosh, he's a It's more tenacity than it 0:18:08.480 --> 0:18:09.159 is physicality. 0:18:09.160 --> 0:18:11.600 It's more technician. He is a technician. I had a 0:18:11.640 --> 0:18:14.040 dB trainer who's training some guys here in Frisco. Ask 0:18:14.160 --> 0:18:16.320
