1
00:00:00,800 --> 00:00:06,200
Speaker 1: And now move the sticks with Daniel Jeremiah and Bucky Brooks.

2
00:00:09,880 --> 00:00:12,320
Speaker 1: What's up everybody, d J. Buckey here, move the sticks.

3
00:00:12,360 --> 00:00:15,440
Speaker 1: Coming to you from Mobile, Alabama at the Reese's Senior Bowl. Buck,

4
00:00:15,440 --> 00:00:18,800
Speaker 1: how you doing, Buck Man, I'm good, I am good. Day,

5
00:00:20,000 --> 00:00:22,040
Speaker 1: full day. We've got the fun show coming up. We're

6
00:00:22,040 --> 00:00:24,040
Speaker 1: gonna give you our recap of the first day of

7
00:00:24,280 --> 00:00:26,400
Speaker 1: Senior Bowl practice, some guys that jumped out to us

8
00:00:26,400 --> 00:00:29,360
Speaker 1: and what we saw. Also gonna share with you some

9
00:00:29,400 --> 00:00:31,040
Speaker 1: sound we had. We had a chance to sit down

10
00:00:31,040 --> 00:00:34,480
Speaker 1: and visit with some quarterbacks in this ballgame and had

11
00:00:34,560 --> 00:00:37,000
Speaker 1: a really a chance to learn about these guys. Buck.

12
00:00:37,040 --> 00:00:38,599
Speaker 1: You get a chance to study them all year long

13
00:00:38,640 --> 00:00:41,159
Speaker 1: on tape, but there's nothing better. Get a chance to

14
00:00:41,159 --> 00:00:43,519
Speaker 1: sit down one on one and have a conversation with

15
00:00:43,560 --> 00:00:46,560
Speaker 1: these signal callers. And we've got I believe three interesting

16
00:00:46,640 --> 00:00:49,760
Speaker 1: conversations coming up on today's show. Yeah, it was really

17
00:00:49,880 --> 00:00:51,680
Speaker 1: good to sit down with these guys and have the

18
00:00:51,680 --> 00:00:53,720
Speaker 1: conversation with quarterbacks because you're always trying to dig a

19
00:00:53,760 --> 00:00:55,280
Speaker 1: little deeper. We talked about them in the face of

20
00:00:55,280 --> 00:00:57,760
Speaker 1: your franchise. You have to know a little more about

21
00:00:57,760 --> 00:00:59,120
Speaker 1: the quarterbacks and the other guys you bring it to

22
00:00:59,160 --> 00:01:00,800
Speaker 1: the locker room and those kind stations coming up here

23
00:01:00,840 --> 00:01:03,240
Speaker 1: in just a minute. But first of all, UH, day one,

24
00:01:03,680 --> 00:01:06,520
Speaker 1: what stood out to you out here on the field. Uh,

25
00:01:06,640 --> 00:01:08,560
Speaker 1: the dudes who were supposed to be the Blue Chippers,

26
00:01:08,640 --> 00:01:10,840
Speaker 1: I think they were as good as advertised. And if

27
00:01:10,880 --> 00:01:13,319
Speaker 1: we talk about the way the league is trending, uh,

28
00:01:13,360 --> 00:01:15,080
Speaker 1: the teams that win games, or the teams are able

29
00:01:15,120 --> 00:01:19,560
Speaker 1: to dominate in the trenches, Uh Montes Sweat, Jalen Ferguson.

30
00:01:20,080 --> 00:01:24,039
Speaker 1: Those guys look like, Yeah, they look like dudes. And

31
00:01:24,120 --> 00:01:25,760
Speaker 1: I think when they got a chance to watch them

32
00:01:25,760 --> 00:01:28,319
Speaker 1: and one on ones and all the things that you

33
00:01:28,400 --> 00:01:30,640
Speaker 1: wanted to see in those individual DALs, even though it

34
00:01:30,720 --> 00:01:32,960
Speaker 1: was just two uppers, I think you can see the length.

35
00:01:33,040 --> 00:01:35,319
Speaker 1: You can see the explosiveness. You can see the ability

36
00:01:35,360 --> 00:01:37,880
Speaker 1: to turn speed into power. More importantly, I think you

37
00:01:37,920 --> 00:01:39,800
Speaker 1: could see where they had the potential to be guys

38
00:01:39,840 --> 00:01:41,640
Speaker 1: that could get tem plus sex at the next level.

39
00:01:41,840 --> 00:01:43,880
Speaker 1: The one for me, Sweat, I wanted to see, does

40
00:01:43,920 --> 00:01:45,560
Speaker 1: he have any shock in his hands? I know he

41
00:01:45,600 --> 00:01:47,400
Speaker 1: can bend, I know he's athletic, I know he can

42
00:01:47,400 --> 00:01:49,520
Speaker 1: win with speed. I wanted to see can you put

43
00:01:49,560 --> 00:01:51,920
Speaker 1: your hands in somebody's chest and create some movement. And

44
00:01:52,000 --> 00:01:54,880
Speaker 1: he hit Alabama State tackle, who I think is a

45
00:01:54,920 --> 00:01:56,800
Speaker 1: good player. He hit him with a little shake bowl,

46
00:01:56,880 --> 00:01:58,440
Speaker 1: put his hand in his chest. I think he ripped

47
00:01:58,480 --> 00:02:00,280
Speaker 1: his heart out buck and just put him on the ground.

48
00:02:00,320 --> 00:02:02,160
Speaker 1: That to me was the most impressive rep of the day.

49
00:02:02,360 --> 00:02:05,000
Speaker 1: It's very impressive, very impressive way that he was able

50
00:02:05,040 --> 00:02:08,720
Speaker 1: to handle his business on the edges um he look

51
00:02:08,800 --> 00:02:11,040
Speaker 1: he just looks like you wanted to look. And I

52
00:02:11,080 --> 00:02:13,040
Speaker 1: think as we've been around this process enough, we know

53
00:02:13,160 --> 00:02:15,519
Speaker 1: certain glass are going to climb. I think by the

54
00:02:15,600 --> 00:02:17,240
Speaker 1: end of the week we'll talk about him continue to

55
00:02:17,240 --> 00:02:19,360
Speaker 1: climb up the rinks. A couple other guys that stood out.

56
00:02:19,360 --> 00:02:21,639
Speaker 1: I thought Deebo Samuel had a nice day from South Carolina.

57
00:02:22,360 --> 00:02:24,840
Speaker 1: Uh Keelan Doss did a nice job from U C. Davis.

58
00:02:24,880 --> 00:02:26,919
Speaker 1: Real clean route runner. He's one of my favorite guys

59
00:02:26,960 --> 00:02:30,000
Speaker 1: outside the Power five, big time Division one guys there

60
00:02:30,000 --> 00:02:32,560
Speaker 1: at U C. Davis. I actually put out a video

61
00:02:33,320 --> 00:02:35,080
Speaker 1: probably a week or two ago when I was studying them,

62
00:02:35,080 --> 00:02:36,480
Speaker 1: and they ran a little tunnel screen and it a

63
00:02:36,480 --> 00:02:38,840
Speaker 1: little uh little hook and ladder off the tunnel screen.

64
00:02:39,000 --> 00:02:41,480
Speaker 1: He's a creative offense. Dan Hawkins has in place there,

65
00:02:41,480 --> 00:02:43,520
Speaker 1: but he's real efficient at the top of his route,

66
00:02:43,520 --> 00:02:46,240
Speaker 1: gets in and out, creates separation. I saw a little

67
00:02:46,280 --> 00:02:49,640
Speaker 1: bit of Keenan Allen stylistically to this game. Um, I

68
00:02:49,680 --> 00:02:51,919
Speaker 1: think that's he's much better. He's much he's much he's

69
00:02:52,000 --> 00:02:53,720
Speaker 1: much better, like you know. And this is the reason

70
00:02:53,760 --> 00:02:56,520
Speaker 1: why we talked about this game for small school guys

71
00:02:56,560 --> 00:02:59,200
Speaker 1: is really really important because you now had opportunity to

72
00:02:59,200 --> 00:03:00,680
Speaker 1: see him against some of the best of the best,

73
00:03:00,720 --> 00:03:02,680
Speaker 1: and he didn't look like a fish out of water.

74
00:03:03,080 --> 00:03:05,360
Speaker 1: In fact, he looked like he could dominate. Like his

75
00:03:05,400 --> 00:03:08,240
Speaker 1: reps that he had against uh Emon Marshall and some

76
00:03:08,280 --> 00:03:10,680
Speaker 1: of the other guys. He looked like a guy that's very,

77
00:03:10,720 --> 00:03:14,359
Speaker 1: very comfortable playing against big time competition, which is what

78
00:03:14,400 --> 00:03:16,520
Speaker 1: we saw from Cooper Cup when he was here, and

79
00:03:16,520 --> 00:03:18,440
Speaker 1: Cooper Cup has continued to have that kind of success

80
00:03:18,480 --> 00:03:20,960
Speaker 1: in the league. Yeah, I remember Cooper Cups here. We

81
00:03:21,000 --> 00:03:22,600
Speaker 1: had a chance to visit with Z Jones and Z

82
00:03:22,800 --> 00:03:24,880
Speaker 1: Jones said that he was just studying Cooper Cup all

83
00:03:24,919 --> 00:03:27,280
Speaker 1: week long because it was just like watching a technician

84
00:03:27,280 --> 00:03:29,880
Speaker 1: at work here as a route runner, so it's fun

85
00:03:29,880 --> 00:03:32,960
Speaker 1: to watch those receivers. I thought, offensive line wise, you know,

86
00:03:33,000 --> 00:03:35,720
Speaker 1: I'm a big Andre Dillard guy from Washington State. I

87
00:03:35,760 --> 00:03:37,520
Speaker 1: thought I got actually got a text from an offensive

88
00:03:37,560 --> 00:03:39,320
Speaker 1: line coach in the league said, look at that dude move.

89
00:03:39,440 --> 00:03:41,880
Speaker 1: I mean we can get carried away with Okay, you

90
00:03:41,920 --> 00:03:43,680
Speaker 1: know does it that he finished it? That he did

91
00:03:43,720 --> 00:03:45,640
Speaker 1: he in a one on one? Did he get beat it?

92
00:03:45,640 --> 00:03:47,280
Speaker 1: And I could beat? All he know is he can bend,

93
00:03:47,320 --> 00:03:49,520
Speaker 1: he can slide, he can redirect, and he is Uh.

94
00:03:49,520 --> 00:03:52,800
Speaker 1: He is very athletic. He is very athletic, and everything

95
00:03:52,800 --> 00:03:55,200
Speaker 1: that you've talked about like leading up to this game

96
00:03:55,280 --> 00:03:57,440
Speaker 1: is certainly true. He is the best pass protected they

97
00:03:57,480 --> 00:04:00,720
Speaker 1: will see at left tackle, very natural with his feet,

98
00:04:00,800 --> 00:04:03,560
Speaker 1: his ability to kick and slide and get on the edges.

99
00:04:03,680 --> 00:04:05,600
Speaker 1: He does a great job of kind of anticipating where

100
00:04:05,640 --> 00:04:08,080
Speaker 1: Russias are going. Uh. The only thing that you can

101
00:04:08,120 --> 00:04:10,920
Speaker 1: really deem him for is is he nasty enough? Is

102
00:04:10,920 --> 00:04:13,280
Speaker 1: he going to be kind of like that butt kicker

103
00:04:13,320 --> 00:04:15,840
Speaker 1: that throws people out the club. But when it comes

104
00:04:15,840 --> 00:04:19,680
Speaker 1: to projecting where he could fit an offense that is

105
00:04:20,000 --> 00:04:23,840
Speaker 1: passing a lot, on offense that needs a true left tackle,

106
00:04:24,000 --> 00:04:26,320
Speaker 1: he certainly should be in the conversation is one of

107
00:04:26,320 --> 00:04:28,279
Speaker 1: the top one, no doubt. So it's been fun to

108
00:04:28,279 --> 00:04:31,280
Speaker 1: watch the guys in the trenches. We've seen the receivers

109
00:04:31,279 --> 00:04:33,440
Speaker 1: and the dbs get after it, but all eyes always

110
00:04:33,440 --> 00:04:35,200
Speaker 1: gonna be on the quarterbacks. I like to go look

111
00:04:35,240 --> 00:04:36,680
Speaker 1: at the tape before I go too strong in my

112
00:04:36,680 --> 00:04:38,960
Speaker 1: opinion on what those guys look like. But I thought

113
00:04:39,040 --> 00:04:40,880
Speaker 1: Daniel Jones was able to drive the ball a couple

114
00:04:40,880 --> 00:04:42,719
Speaker 1: of times today which I wanted to see the ball

115
00:04:42,800 --> 00:04:44,960
Speaker 1: jumps out of Drew locks hands, that jumps out of

116
00:04:45,000 --> 00:04:48,480
Speaker 1: Jarret Stidham's hands. Um. And I thought Kid Finley from

117
00:04:48,600 --> 00:04:51,240
Speaker 1: NCY State did a nice job, very efficient. Everything's just

118
00:04:51,279 --> 00:04:54,200
Speaker 1: real clean with the way he operates. Yeah, the first

119
00:04:54,200 --> 00:04:56,279
Speaker 1: two guys that you talked about, Drew Lock and Daniel Jones,

120
00:04:56,440 --> 00:04:58,800
Speaker 1: I think they certainly look like the class of everyone

121
00:04:58,880 --> 00:05:01,880
Speaker 1: that's here. U. Daniel Jones, you talked about one to

122
00:05:01,920 --> 00:05:03,680
Speaker 1: see him drive the ball because you didn't really get

123
00:05:03,680 --> 00:05:05,480
Speaker 1: a chance to see it on tape. Uh, that is

124
00:05:05,520 --> 00:05:07,839
Speaker 1: something that we want to continue to monitor throughout the week.

125
00:05:08,080 --> 00:05:11,000
Speaker 1: And we Drew Lock the talent is certainly there, and

126
00:05:11,520 --> 00:05:14,680
Speaker 1: we saw Josh Allen kind of rise after coming out

127
00:05:14,720 --> 00:05:17,800
Speaker 1: of this game. I can anticipate Drew Lock playing very

128
00:05:17,839 --> 00:05:19,359
Speaker 1: very well in the game and having a lot of

129
00:05:19,360 --> 00:05:22,760
Speaker 1: buzz behind his name. We know how his talent is

130
00:05:22,760 --> 00:05:24,760
Speaker 1: and we know how to be protecting. Well, let's let's

131
00:05:24,760 --> 00:05:28,719
Speaker 1: get to our conversation we had with the talented Missouri quarterback.

132
00:05:28,760 --> 00:05:31,960
Speaker 1: Here's our chat with Drew Lock. All right, buck, excited

133
00:05:32,000 --> 00:05:33,560
Speaker 1: to be joined uh by a guy who got to

134
00:05:33,560 --> 00:05:35,600
Speaker 1: know a little bit through the process. Here Drew Lock

135
00:05:35,640 --> 00:05:37,599
Speaker 1: from missourd Drew, how you do man, I'm doing really good.

136
00:05:37,640 --> 00:05:39,760
Speaker 1: Excited to be here. All right. Let's start first just

137
00:05:39,960 --> 00:05:42,560
Speaker 1: this week. You know, goals for you this week here

138
00:05:42,560 --> 00:05:44,840
Speaker 1: at the Senior Bowl. What are you looking to accomplish? Yeah,

139
00:05:44,880 --> 00:05:46,640
Speaker 1: I think the biggest thing for me is to show,

140
00:05:47,200 --> 00:05:49,640
Speaker 1: you know, Coach Gruden, but show other other teams as

141
00:05:49,680 --> 00:05:51,159
Speaker 1: well that you know, I can pick up an offense

142
00:05:51,200 --> 00:05:53,480
Speaker 1: really fast going on in the practice field, go out

143
00:05:53,480 --> 00:05:54,920
Speaker 1: on the game field, and just kind of show that

144
00:05:55,360 --> 00:05:57,400
Speaker 1: you know, I can learn in a quick, quick, little

145
00:05:57,400 --> 00:05:58,720
Speaker 1: timespan and go out there and do it at a

146
00:05:58,760 --> 00:06:00,719
Speaker 1: high level. So what if some of the things that

147
00:06:00,760 --> 00:06:03,599
Speaker 1: you've been doing to prepare for your opportunity here like

148
00:06:03,640 --> 00:06:06,239
Speaker 1: obviously come from Missouri, Like, how do you get ready

149
00:06:06,279 --> 00:06:08,239
Speaker 1: to kind of play in a pro style game? Yeah,

150
00:06:08,320 --> 00:06:11,159
Speaker 1: so we learned a little bit from Coach Delia this

151
00:06:11,200 --> 00:06:13,440
Speaker 1: year at Mizzoo. UM. I think one of the things

152
00:06:13,480 --> 00:06:15,839
Speaker 1: I pride myself on is throwing off platform, being able

153
00:06:15,839 --> 00:06:19,080
Speaker 1: to make the not so easy throws. But going into

154
00:06:19,080 --> 00:06:21,839
Speaker 1: this week, you know, I realized that there is times

155
00:06:21,839 --> 00:06:23,960
Speaker 1: where you know, I couldn't necessarily been floating away and

156
00:06:23,960 --> 00:06:26,039
Speaker 1: getting off my platform when I didn't necessarily have to.

157
00:06:26,480 --> 00:06:28,800
Speaker 1: So working my footwork a lot with JP down in

158
00:06:28,800 --> 00:06:32,120
Speaker 1: there in Data Point, good old California. UM, just being

159
00:06:32,120 --> 00:06:33,839
Speaker 1: able to be in rhythm this week, working on my

160
00:06:33,839 --> 00:06:36,600
Speaker 1: footwork and really listening to Coach Grewing a way he thinks,

161
00:06:36,680 --> 00:06:40,239
Speaker 1: you know, expects things of time up receivers outside seven steps,

162
00:06:40,240 --> 00:06:42,280
Speaker 1: it seems to be on a three. Um, just being

163
00:06:42,320 --> 00:06:44,479
Speaker 1: able to be flowing with my steps to kind of

164
00:06:44,480 --> 00:06:46,120
Speaker 1: time up with the receivers out here, because it's gonna

165
00:06:46,120 --> 00:06:47,720
Speaker 1: be different. You know, you're not throwing these guys every

166
00:06:47,720 --> 00:06:50,040
Speaker 1: single day like you did at Miszoo to where I

167
00:06:50,080 --> 00:06:52,720
Speaker 1: really got to be sharp with my footwork. What's one

168
00:06:52,760 --> 00:06:55,920
Speaker 1: thing you're looking to get scouts right down in that notebook.

169
00:06:56,040 --> 00:06:58,039
Speaker 1: This week might be from visiting with you or just

170
00:06:58,040 --> 00:07:00,760
Speaker 1: even when you're watching tape. What's what's that impression you

171
00:07:00,760 --> 00:07:03,159
Speaker 1: want to leave with everybody? Yeah, I think that you know,

172
00:07:03,160 --> 00:07:05,120
Speaker 1: there's gonna be the throws on tables, like, Wow, this

173
00:07:05,120 --> 00:07:07,200
Speaker 1: guy's got a big arm, he's got an athletic build,

174
00:07:07,279 --> 00:07:09,720
Speaker 1: he's six four waste two or twenty five pounds, Like

175
00:07:09,760 --> 00:07:11,559
Speaker 1: there's just those things that you know you can write

176
00:07:11,560 --> 00:07:15,000
Speaker 1: on them on the tape that everyone sees. I want

177
00:07:15,000 --> 00:07:17,320
Speaker 1: to be able to go out there and show just

178
00:07:17,440 --> 00:07:19,760
Speaker 1: more on my athletics side. Um, people think you know

179
00:07:19,800 --> 00:07:21,920
Speaker 1: that he's a pocket passer. I think when you see

180
00:07:21,920 --> 00:07:23,280
Speaker 1: me get out there, I mean, Wenna have the best

181
00:07:23,280 --> 00:07:25,560
Speaker 1: guys in the world running around on defense, right, They're

182
00:07:25,560 --> 00:07:26,960
Speaker 1: going to try and come and try to get us.

183
00:07:27,240 --> 00:07:28,720
Speaker 1: We're not gonna be all on the same page. But

184
00:07:28,720 --> 00:07:30,240
Speaker 1: I'm gonna go out there, I'm gonna make plays work,

185
00:07:30,240 --> 00:07:33,520
Speaker 1: I'm gonna make things happen. You know it's not gonna

186
00:07:33,520 --> 00:07:35,640
Speaker 1: be like a picture perfect offense. You've been running with

187
00:07:35,640 --> 00:07:37,920
Speaker 1: these guys for six seven months. You're gonna be out

188
00:07:37,920 --> 00:07:39,160
Speaker 1: there for a couple of days and You're gonna go

189
00:07:39,160 --> 00:07:40,800
Speaker 1: out and make plays and things are gonna break down,

190
00:07:40,880 --> 00:07:42,480
Speaker 1: But I'm gonna make the best out of the plays

191
00:07:42,480 --> 00:07:44,840
Speaker 1: that breakdown, you know, I'm thinking about that. Going back

192
00:07:44,880 --> 00:07:46,560
Speaker 1: to Missouri, there a lot of people say that you

193
00:07:46,600 --> 00:07:50,240
Speaker 1: were so talented, but maybe team success didn't find you.

194
00:07:50,680 --> 00:07:53,080
Speaker 1: What would you how would you address the fact that

195
00:07:53,120 --> 00:07:55,280
Speaker 1: maybe a Missouri you didn't win as mini games as

196
00:07:55,600 --> 00:07:58,560
Speaker 1: so many elite quarterbacks everyone. Yeah, I think it kind

197
00:07:58,560 --> 00:08:01,080
Speaker 1: of goes back to a little bit my fresh from year. Um,

198
00:08:01,160 --> 00:08:04,640
Speaker 1: we had a we had a wild thing happened to us, say,

199
00:08:04,680 --> 00:08:07,360
Speaker 1: we had the protests where it kind of made you know,

200
00:08:07,360 --> 00:08:10,920
Speaker 1: our university look look light in wass like people don't

201
00:08:10,920 --> 00:08:13,239
Speaker 1: want to come in here are recruiting went down lost

202
00:08:13,240 --> 00:08:15,640
Speaker 1: a lot, lost a lot of swag from our university

203
00:08:15,720 --> 00:08:18,960
Speaker 1: right there to where our group that stayed tight, stay collected,

204
00:08:19,000 --> 00:08:20,840
Speaker 1: had to come through and fight through a lot of stuff,

205
00:08:20,840 --> 00:08:23,480
Speaker 1: stuff that would have taken a normal university ten to

206
00:08:23,560 --> 00:08:25,560
Speaker 1: fifteen years to come out of. And for us to

207
00:08:25,560 --> 00:08:28,600
Speaker 1: finish eight and four in the regular season our senior year, Um,

208
00:08:28,600 --> 00:08:30,360
Speaker 1: it means a lot to our university. I know that

209
00:08:30,400 --> 00:08:32,560
Speaker 1: for sure, because it was it wasn't looking very bright

210
00:08:32,559 --> 00:08:35,079
Speaker 1: there for for a little bit. But to be able

211
00:08:35,120 --> 00:08:36,480
Speaker 1: to come out and do the things we did, I

212
00:08:36,480 --> 00:08:38,600
Speaker 1: think that proves a lot about how tough we are,

213
00:08:38,640 --> 00:08:40,680
Speaker 1: how much adversity we can fight through. And you know,

214
00:08:40,679 --> 00:08:42,520
Speaker 1: when waters would have been easy, I don't know if

215
00:08:42,520 --> 00:08:43,800
Speaker 1: I would have learned the kind of things that I

216
00:08:43,840 --> 00:08:45,840
Speaker 1: did when when I did through. I mean, you know,

217
00:08:45,880 --> 00:08:47,760
Speaker 1: my time at the university, it's been a few years.

218
00:08:47,800 --> 00:08:49,520
Speaker 1: I don't know if a lot of people even remember

219
00:08:49,559 --> 00:08:51,000
Speaker 1: the story. I like to go a little bit deeper

220
00:08:51,000 --> 00:08:53,680
Speaker 1: on that. Just it was those racial protests were taking place,

221
00:08:53,960 --> 00:08:56,240
Speaker 1: and you're, what eighteen years old the time, you're kind

222
00:08:56,280 --> 00:08:58,400
Speaker 1: of your thrust right in the middle of what was

223
00:08:58,440 --> 00:09:01,040
Speaker 1: kind of your leadership role, like in the challenge of

224
00:09:01,160 --> 00:09:03,240
Speaker 1: just trying to navigate through the very very tough time,

225
00:09:03,280 --> 00:09:05,920
Speaker 1: not just for the football program, for the entire university. Yeah,

226
00:09:05,960 --> 00:09:07,520
Speaker 1: so you go in there and you have this picture

227
00:09:07,600 --> 00:09:11,080
Speaker 1: perfect scenario. You know you're going you're in a well

228
00:09:11,240 --> 00:09:13,080
Speaker 1: I had a start of there already, who went to

229
00:09:13,080 --> 00:09:15,800
Speaker 1: back to back SEC championship games, So I was going

230
00:09:15,840 --> 00:09:18,160
Speaker 1: in expecting, you know, a lot of leadership from the

231
00:09:18,160 --> 00:09:20,680
Speaker 1: senior guys and and Uh, you know, I ended up

232
00:09:20,720 --> 00:09:23,040
Speaker 1: playing pretty early. We had some misfortunate things happened with

233
00:09:23,080 --> 00:09:25,960
Speaker 1: Maddie Um where I got thrust it in there. One

234
00:09:26,000 --> 00:09:28,679
Speaker 1: of my first games against South Carolina that we went

235
00:09:28,679 --> 00:09:31,200
Speaker 1: on a little losing spree there, and you know, the

236
00:09:31,240 --> 00:09:33,880
Speaker 1: real college football hit me, all of the negative tweets,

237
00:09:33,920 --> 00:09:35,839
Speaker 1: all of the negative things that come around that, and

238
00:09:36,120 --> 00:09:37,600
Speaker 1: you know, I fed into it. I had to learn

239
00:09:37,600 --> 00:09:39,960
Speaker 1: how to get out of that. And then that week

240
00:09:40,000 --> 00:09:42,600
Speaker 1: against b y U, with the protests happened, our team

241
00:09:42,679 --> 00:09:45,120
Speaker 1: got behind the cause to where we said we weren't

242
00:09:45,120 --> 00:09:48,880
Speaker 1: gonna play unless certain things happened, and uh, we ended

243
00:09:48,920 --> 00:09:50,880
Speaker 1: up playing that week. Those certain things happened. And on

244
00:09:50,880 --> 00:09:52,599
Speaker 1: that Friday, when we were getting ready to travel to

245
00:09:52,640 --> 00:09:54,079
Speaker 1: Kansas City and my head coach said that he was

246
00:09:54,080 --> 00:09:56,520
Speaker 1: gonna be done after this year. Coach Pinkel, who was

247
00:09:56,559 --> 00:09:59,000
Speaker 1: a long time Missouri great. One of the reasons I

248
00:09:59,000 --> 00:10:01,880
Speaker 1: came to Missouri was because I was gonna have coaching stability.

249
00:10:01,920 --> 00:10:03,480
Speaker 1: I wasn't gonna have to worry about coaching change. I

250
00:10:03,520 --> 00:10:05,320
Speaker 1: was gonna have a guy there that was gonna have

251
00:10:05,400 --> 00:10:08,040
Speaker 1: my back. And you know that week was that week

252
00:10:08,160 --> 00:10:11,040
Speaker 1: was something else for an eighteen year old kid trying

253
00:10:11,080 --> 00:10:13,920
Speaker 1: to go play at Arrowhead the stadium he grew up,

254
00:10:13,960 --> 00:10:15,640
Speaker 1: you know, watching games, and he's about to go play

255
00:10:15,679 --> 00:10:18,760
Speaker 1: in and I just, uh, you know, it's a lot

256
00:10:18,800 --> 00:10:21,200
Speaker 1: of adversity that we went through there, but I think

257
00:10:21,240 --> 00:10:22,840
Speaker 1: we came out as better men and better full of

258
00:10:22,840 --> 00:10:24,800
Speaker 1: players from it. You know, I'm thinking about that the

259
00:10:24,880 --> 00:10:27,160
Speaker 1: quarterback at the next level is really counted on to

260
00:10:27,160 --> 00:10:30,120
Speaker 1: be the face of the franchise. Um, how has that

261
00:10:30,240 --> 00:10:32,559
Speaker 1: experience kind of shaped you and really give you the

262
00:10:32,640 --> 00:10:34,520
Speaker 1: confidence that when you go to the next level that

263
00:10:34,559 --> 00:10:36,600
Speaker 1: you're going to be ready to handle all the stuff

264
00:10:36,640 --> 00:10:38,760
Speaker 1: that goes along with being a franchise quarterback. Yeah, I

265
00:10:39,280 --> 00:10:41,600
Speaker 1: kind of said it like this. I was like, if

266
00:10:41,640 --> 00:10:44,400
Speaker 1: I was gonna have that picture perfect route, I don't

267
00:10:44,400 --> 00:10:46,000
Speaker 1: know what kind of quarterback I would have been. I

268
00:10:46,000 --> 00:10:47,760
Speaker 1: would have probably been a little arrogant. I would have

269
00:10:47,800 --> 00:10:50,400
Speaker 1: been a little too good, too big for my own head.

270
00:10:50,880 --> 00:10:52,720
Speaker 1: You know, where I've went through those bad times, I

271
00:10:52,800 --> 00:10:54,480
Speaker 1: realized what it takes to come out of it and

272
00:10:54,720 --> 00:10:57,000
Speaker 1: how to lead a group of guys do that. Because,

273
00:10:57,440 --> 00:10:59,160
Speaker 1: don't get me wrong, like you got a hundred plus

274
00:10:59,200 --> 00:11:00,959
Speaker 1: guys in a locker and it's not just you. You're

275
00:11:01,040 --> 00:11:03,680
Speaker 1: fighting those demons inside. You're finding all the negative thoughts.

276
00:11:03,840 --> 00:11:05,440
Speaker 1: I can only imagine what the other guys are doing

277
00:11:05,480 --> 00:11:07,199
Speaker 1: as well to where you gotta put that aside. You

278
00:11:07,280 --> 00:11:08,760
Speaker 1: gotta be a quarterback. You gotta be a leader of

279
00:11:08,760 --> 00:11:10,440
Speaker 1: the team. You can't really focus on how you're feeling

280
00:11:10,440 --> 00:11:12,079
Speaker 1: that day. You gotta focus on how the other guys

281
00:11:12,120 --> 00:11:13,400
Speaker 1: are feeling and how you're gonna get them out of

282
00:11:13,400 --> 00:11:15,400
Speaker 1: that slump to where now that I if I go

283
00:11:15,480 --> 00:11:18,040
Speaker 1: to an NFL team and things start off rough, there's

284
00:11:18,080 --> 00:11:20,880
Speaker 1: not gonna be anything that makes me flinch, anything that

285
00:11:20,920 --> 00:11:22,760
Speaker 1: makes you fluch, It's gonna be it's gonna be a

286
00:11:22,800 --> 00:11:25,000
Speaker 1: really easy transition to pull out of, you know, a

287
00:11:25,040 --> 00:11:27,120
Speaker 1: bad time with the team. I got a question for you. So,

288
00:11:27,200 --> 00:11:31,760
Speaker 1: Tony Romo, Kurt Warner, Drew Lock, they all have one

289
00:11:31,760 --> 00:11:33,320
Speaker 1: thing in common. Do you notice? And it's not that

290
00:11:33,320 --> 00:11:39,840
Speaker 1: you guys all play quarterback. I don't know great hoopers,

291
00:11:40,080 --> 00:11:43,600
Speaker 1: oh hoops, the bastle basketball back. For those that don't

292
00:11:43,600 --> 00:11:45,040
Speaker 1: know your story, now, you're a heck of a high

293
00:11:45,040 --> 00:11:47,079
Speaker 1: school basketball player. You had Division one offers and I'm

294
00:11:47,080 --> 00:11:50,080
Speaker 1: not talking about uh, you know some throwaway offers, legitimate

295
00:11:50,120 --> 00:11:52,240
Speaker 1: offers to go play hoops. Tell us about kind of

296
00:11:52,280 --> 00:11:54,920
Speaker 1: your background growing up playing basketball and why you chose

297
00:11:54,960 --> 00:11:57,000
Speaker 1: to go the football route versus the basketball round. Yes,

298
00:11:57,080 --> 00:11:59,600
Speaker 1: so Laura Lock got me started. That is my mother's name.

299
00:11:59,679 --> 00:12:01,960
Speaker 1: Laura is her name, and she got me involved in basketball.

300
00:12:02,000 --> 00:12:04,120
Speaker 1: She loved the game on basketball. My dad wasn't a

301
00:12:04,120 --> 00:12:07,120
Speaker 1: hooper and my dad played left tackle. He he can't shoot,

302
00:12:07,160 --> 00:12:09,040
Speaker 1: he shoots it. He shoots it like a big guy.

303
00:12:09,080 --> 00:12:11,880
Speaker 1: He can't drive to the whole like like Laura taught

304
00:12:11,880 --> 00:12:14,280
Speaker 1: me too. But no, that was my first love. Um,

305
00:12:14,320 --> 00:12:17,280
Speaker 1: I grew up loving the game of basketball. I played

306
00:12:17,320 --> 00:12:18,959
Speaker 1: up the team because I knew my parents knew I

307
00:12:18,960 --> 00:12:21,319
Speaker 1: was gonna be taller than everybody, um to where I

308
00:12:21,320 --> 00:12:22,840
Speaker 1: would play up so I didn't have to play big

309
00:12:22,880 --> 00:12:25,520
Speaker 1: man because I wasn't gonna be a six four division

310
00:12:25,559 --> 00:12:27,320
Speaker 1: one big man like that just does hasn't know how

311
00:12:27,360 --> 00:12:29,040
Speaker 1: things work. So they played me up my whole life

312
00:12:29,040 --> 00:12:31,080
Speaker 1: to where you know, you grew a little toughness from that.

313
00:12:31,160 --> 00:12:32,920
Speaker 1: You know you're playing its older guys, like especially the

314
00:12:32,960 --> 00:12:35,559
Speaker 1: six seventh grade, like I was a late bloomer on

315
00:12:35,640 --> 00:12:38,760
Speaker 1: playing its guys who got full armpit hair, and I'm

316
00:12:38,760 --> 00:12:40,319
Speaker 1: sitting here, I have no hair on my chest, no

317
00:12:40,440 --> 00:12:42,480
Speaker 1: hair on my armpits. Like driving to the game, you know,

318
00:12:42,559 --> 00:12:44,560
Speaker 1: I'm like, I'm sitting there in the car like man,

319
00:12:44,600 --> 00:12:46,480
Speaker 1: I might get bullied today a little bit, but you

320
00:12:46,480 --> 00:12:48,440
Speaker 1: know it made me tougher to where I got to

321
00:12:48,600 --> 00:12:51,000
Speaker 1: UH High School. I was a four year starter on

322
00:12:51,040 --> 00:12:53,520
Speaker 1: the varsity team. My first varsity game ever, had twenty

323
00:12:53,559 --> 00:12:57,000
Speaker 1: six points, hit six threes. I was the second leading

324
00:12:57,000 --> 00:12:59,000
Speaker 1: scorer in my in my school's history, with like eighteen

325
00:12:59,080 --> 00:13:02,600
Speaker 1: hundred points. First, his last name is Graves. I forget

326
00:13:02,600 --> 00:13:04,320
Speaker 1: his first name. Every time he played at Kansas and

327
00:13:04,360 --> 00:13:06,920
Speaker 1: didn't have a three point line, so like the dude

328
00:13:07,000 --> 00:13:14,360
Speaker 1: was balling. He had been a football Graves where we are, Um, yeah,

329
00:13:14,440 --> 00:13:16,199
Speaker 1: So that that ended up happening and that I got

330
00:13:16,240 --> 00:13:18,120
Speaker 1: my offers. I played with a team out of Kansas

331
00:13:18,120 --> 00:13:20,360
Speaker 1: City called Pump and Run Uh. They changed a run

332
00:13:20,440 --> 00:13:23,000
Speaker 1: GMC in my freshman year or my fifteens year there

333
00:13:23,000 --> 00:13:24,760
Speaker 1: because they went from Adidas to n Armer, so we're

334
00:13:24,880 --> 00:13:27,679
Speaker 1: Enarmer sponsive team. We played against the Josh Jackson's of

335
00:13:27,720 --> 00:13:30,040
Speaker 1: the world. We played against a lot of really good

336
00:13:30,080 --> 00:13:33,280
Speaker 1: basketball players, um Ferguson that plays he's a six man

337
00:13:33,320 --> 00:13:36,520
Speaker 1: for okay, see guarded him a leak, all those guys.

338
00:13:36,559 --> 00:13:39,240
Speaker 1: It was just it was a different type of ball game.

339
00:13:39,480 --> 00:13:42,000
Speaker 1: It was. It was really fun though. So in thinking

340
00:13:42,000 --> 00:13:43,920
Speaker 1: about the basketball the Springers, how did the basketball the

341
00:13:43,920 --> 00:13:46,320
Speaker 1: Spurnings made you a better quarterback? Yeah, it's been huge.

342
00:13:46,360 --> 00:13:48,959
Speaker 1: I think as far as when I'm going to recruit

343
00:13:49,000 --> 00:13:51,080
Speaker 1: a quarterback, hopefully that can recruit quarterbacks, I'm gonna look

344
00:13:51,080 --> 00:13:52,560
Speaker 1: for a guy that's diverse. I'm gonna look for a

345
00:13:52,559 --> 00:13:54,400
Speaker 1: guy that ran up and down the floor. You think

346
00:13:54,400 --> 00:13:56,839
Speaker 1: about how much athleticism takes to play at the top

347
00:13:56,960 --> 00:13:59,319
Speaker 1: level of basketball. It takes takes quite a bit being

348
00:13:59,320 --> 00:14:02,120
Speaker 1: able to see the floor, make openfield passes and and

349
00:14:02,400 --> 00:14:05,280
Speaker 1: tight alleys. That translates to a football very well. You

350
00:14:05,320 --> 00:14:08,880
Speaker 1: gotta you gotta manipulate the pocket, you gotta find the alleyways,

351
00:14:08,920 --> 00:14:10,920
Speaker 1: you gotta move around a little bit. You can't just

352
00:14:10,920 --> 00:14:12,559
Speaker 1: be a stick in the mud and basketball help me

353
00:14:12,600 --> 00:14:14,080
Speaker 1: not be that stick in the mind. Well, you got

354
00:14:14,160 --> 00:14:15,600
Speaker 1: a big week in front of you this week, and

355
00:14:15,600 --> 00:14:17,280
Speaker 1: in my last question for you, I want to go.

356
00:14:17,600 --> 00:14:19,320
Speaker 1: Let's get in the Dolorian let's go in the future,

357
00:14:19,360 --> 00:14:22,120
Speaker 1: one year from now, if if, if we're to get

358
00:14:22,120 --> 00:14:24,760
Speaker 1: together again and meet up, what would you say as

359
00:14:24,760 --> 00:14:27,800
Speaker 1: a successful rookie season for you, if you can envision

360
00:14:27,800 --> 00:14:29,720
Speaker 1: it and you're trying to say this is the perfect center,

361
00:14:29,920 --> 00:14:31,960
Speaker 1: what is it? Yeah, I mean, obviously all of us

362
00:14:31,960 --> 00:14:33,200
Speaker 1: want to play early. You see a lot of the

363
00:14:33,280 --> 00:14:35,320
Speaker 1: rookies playing early now, and you see him playing at

364
00:14:35,320 --> 00:14:37,120
Speaker 1: a really high level. I think you saw bigger plays

365
00:14:37,120 --> 00:14:39,840
Speaker 1: butt Off Josh Allen, Sam Johnald, all those guys. Lamar

366
00:14:39,920 --> 00:14:42,920
Speaker 1: even came in and took a huge step and made

367
00:14:43,600 --> 00:14:45,800
Speaker 1: tremendous job with what the what he was given at

368
00:14:45,840 --> 00:14:47,560
Speaker 1: that time. So I think being able to come back

369
00:14:47,920 --> 00:14:49,680
Speaker 1: and say that I did everything I could to be

370
00:14:49,720 --> 00:14:51,560
Speaker 1: a starter on that team, and if I did start,

371
00:14:51,760 --> 00:14:54,240
Speaker 1: I did everything to make that team better. Can't give

372
00:14:54,280 --> 00:14:55,720
Speaker 1: you like a certain amount of wins. I want to

373
00:14:55,720 --> 00:14:57,160
Speaker 1: give you a certain amount of stats because you know

374
00:14:57,160 --> 00:15:00,240
Speaker 1: we're not gonna write anything anything and pin right out,

375
00:15:00,240 --> 00:15:02,560
Speaker 1: but just doing whatever I took, whatever it took to

376
00:15:02,560 --> 00:15:04,280
Speaker 1: make the team, you know, the best team that I

377
00:15:04,320 --> 00:15:06,880
Speaker 1: got drafted to the last question for me, if you

378
00:15:06,880 --> 00:15:08,480
Speaker 1: had to look at the National Football League and you

379
00:15:08,520 --> 00:15:10,800
Speaker 1: could patting your game after anybody who would be that

380
00:15:10,840 --> 00:15:12,600
Speaker 1: guy that you would say is your room. Yeah, So

381
00:15:12,640 --> 00:15:14,600
Speaker 1: I talked about the off platform throws. I think Aaron

382
00:15:14,680 --> 00:15:18,000
Speaker 1: Rodgers does it best. UM's people actually grow them a

383
00:15:18,040 --> 00:15:20,800
Speaker 1: little bit for it too. He's making the some throws harder.

384
00:15:20,840 --> 00:15:23,000
Speaker 1: He's throwing off his back foot, throwing off his left foot,

385
00:15:23,040 --> 00:15:26,360
Speaker 1: rolling right, throwing sideways, kind of Patrick mahomes ish um

386
00:15:26,400 --> 00:15:28,040
Speaker 1: to where I know I can make those plays. I

387
00:15:28,040 --> 00:15:30,600
Speaker 1: know I can, you know, make the off balance throws.

388
00:15:30,680 --> 00:15:32,720
Speaker 1: But at the same time, no, when it's necessary to

389
00:15:32,760 --> 00:15:34,640
Speaker 1: stay in the pocket and make it, make it easier

390
00:15:34,680 --> 00:15:36,880
Speaker 1: for yourself. So I think being able to do the

391
00:15:36,920 --> 00:15:38,360
Speaker 1: things that Aaron does as far as out of the

392
00:15:38,360 --> 00:15:40,160
Speaker 1: pocket and inside the pocket when it all breaks down,

393
00:15:40,200 --> 00:15:42,120
Speaker 1: would be a huge part of my game. I'm looking

394
00:15:42,160 --> 00:15:43,840
Speaker 1: forward to the falling on our Journey's a big week

395
00:15:43,840 --> 00:15:45,280
Speaker 1: for you. Were excited for you this week, and I'm

396
00:15:45,320 --> 00:15:47,240
Speaker 1: sure we'll be catching up with you as we marched

397
00:15:47,240 --> 00:15:50,520
Speaker 1: towards the draft. Thanks for time, every Thank you well. Buck.

398
00:15:50,560 --> 00:15:52,200
Speaker 1: I love I love it you talk about all the

399
00:15:52,240 --> 00:15:53,720
Speaker 1: time you you beat this into the ground, and I

400
00:15:53,720 --> 00:15:55,920
Speaker 1: agree with you. I love it when guys have that

401
00:15:55,960 --> 00:15:58,720
Speaker 1: athleticism to be able to play multiple sports. And I

402
00:15:58,760 --> 00:16:00,200
Speaker 1: think you see that. You do see that in his

403
00:16:00,240 --> 00:16:02,880
Speaker 1: play on the field, that basketball background shows up. Yeah,

404
00:16:02,880 --> 00:16:06,400
Speaker 1: I think the athleticism really is what you want. Um.

405
00:16:06,440 --> 00:16:09,440
Speaker 1: You always hear quarterback coaches and offensive coordinator to say, look,

406
00:16:09,480 --> 00:16:12,040
Speaker 1: I want a guy who is a thrower but also

407
00:16:12,160 --> 00:16:14,680
Speaker 1: is athletic enough to move around. The bigger thing that

408
00:16:14,720 --> 00:16:18,040
Speaker 1: I took from his basketball experiences, I can see Drew

409
00:16:18,080 --> 00:16:20,680
Speaker 1: Lock stepping into a locker room and being very comfortable

410
00:16:20,720 --> 00:16:23,440
Speaker 1: with anybody. And I think a lot of what has

411
00:16:23,480 --> 00:16:26,160
Speaker 1: made Josh Allen very, very successful and kind of like

412
00:16:26,320 --> 00:16:29,600
Speaker 1: Beloved and Buffalo is his relatability with everybody in the

413
00:16:29,600 --> 00:16:32,520
Speaker 1: locker room and so much of what we do with quarterbacks.

414
00:16:32,560 --> 00:16:35,160
Speaker 1: We talked about the physical, but the intangibles matter, and

415
00:16:35,200 --> 00:16:36,760
Speaker 1: I do believe that Drew Lock is going to have

416
00:16:36,800 --> 00:16:38,840
Speaker 1: some of those intangibles to make him a franchise quarterback,

417
00:16:38,920 --> 00:16:41,680
Speaker 1: no doubt. What's great to catch up with him. Also

418
00:16:41,720 --> 00:16:44,720
Speaker 1: had a chance to catch up with Auburns Jared Stidham,

419
00:16:44,800 --> 00:16:47,120
Speaker 1: who buck he spends it as well as anybody in

420
00:16:47,160 --> 00:16:49,520
Speaker 1: this draft class and really a fun guy to sit

421
00:16:49,520 --> 00:16:52,600
Speaker 1: down and talk to all right Buck excited to be

422
00:16:52,640 --> 00:16:54,920
Speaker 1: joined by Jared Stidham. Jared, how you doing? Man? Doing great?

423
00:16:54,920 --> 00:16:57,520
Speaker 1: Appreciate you guys having me on. Let's start first here

424
00:16:57,560 --> 00:17:00,760
Speaker 1: this week down here in Mobile at the Senior Bowl. Um,

425
00:17:00,800 --> 00:17:03,200
Speaker 1: just your goals? What are you looking to get accomplished?

426
00:17:03,200 --> 00:17:05,159
Speaker 1: What statement are you looking to make this week? I

427
00:17:05,200 --> 00:17:07,280
Speaker 1: think you know, first of all, um, you know, I

428
00:17:07,320 --> 00:17:09,920
Speaker 1: want to I want to display my leadership qualities to

429
00:17:09,920 --> 00:17:12,879
Speaker 1: to these teams, um, you know, really have them know

430
00:17:12,960 --> 00:17:15,399
Speaker 1: that hey weather, there's a storm once or twice and

431
00:17:15,440 --> 00:17:17,359
Speaker 1: come out on the better side of it. Um. And

432
00:17:17,400 --> 00:17:20,680
Speaker 1: then obviously on the field, just looking to uh, looking

433
00:17:20,720 --> 00:17:24,280
Speaker 1: to improve obviously being around coach Shanahan and the fourty

434
00:17:24,359 --> 00:17:26,000
Speaker 1: nine er staff. Really excited to get to work with

435
00:17:26,040 --> 00:17:29,480
Speaker 1: those guys and and just learn more ball and uh,

436
00:17:29,520 --> 00:17:31,760
Speaker 1: you know, make all the throws on the field and

437
00:17:31,760 --> 00:17:35,240
Speaker 1: and hopefully turn some heads. Think about in terms of

438
00:17:35,400 --> 00:17:37,760
Speaker 1: learning ball coming out of the offense that you've played,

439
00:17:37,760 --> 00:17:40,320
Speaker 1: and how excited are you to get a pro playbook

440
00:17:40,320 --> 00:17:43,280
Speaker 1: and do some things that may accentuate your game even

441
00:17:43,280 --> 00:17:45,159
Speaker 1: more than you were able to really showcase. And I'm

442
00:17:45,200 --> 00:17:48,920
Speaker 1: always I'm extremely excited obviously I don't think the ceiling

443
00:17:48,960 --> 00:17:51,280
Speaker 1: can never be high enough for for knowledge in the

444
00:17:51,280 --> 00:17:54,080
Speaker 1: game of football. Um just I mean even just in

445
00:17:54,119 --> 00:17:56,920
Speaker 1: my two weeks that I've that I've been training, I've

446
00:17:57,080 --> 00:18:00,879
Speaker 1: learned so much just about offenses. Offense is what this

447
00:18:00,920 --> 00:18:03,080
Speaker 1: guy does, what that guy does. Just just learning more

448
00:18:03,480 --> 00:18:06,640
Speaker 1: and obviously extremely excited to get with coach Shanahan and

449
00:18:06,640 --> 00:18:09,560
Speaker 1: in the forty Niners staff and to really expand that

450
00:18:09,600 --> 00:18:11,280
Speaker 1: even more. I know you've been working with our buddy,

451
00:18:11,400 --> 00:18:13,520
Speaker 1: what you're more out there and just kind of getting

452
00:18:13,520 --> 00:18:15,560
Speaker 1: ready for this experience and then really the whole draft

453
00:18:15,600 --> 00:18:17,960
Speaker 1: experience and kind of make your your closing argument to

454
00:18:17,960 --> 00:18:19,920
Speaker 1: all these thirty two teams. What are the one or

455
00:18:19,960 --> 00:18:21,720
Speaker 1: two things you guys have been trying to hone in

456
00:18:21,800 --> 00:18:24,760
Speaker 1: and focus on, Uh, something you saw from from what

457
00:18:24,800 --> 00:18:26,520
Speaker 1: you were doing this fall or what he saw, and

458
00:18:26,560 --> 00:18:28,120
Speaker 1: just kind of that the area you're really trying to

459
00:18:28,160 --> 00:18:30,800
Speaker 1: attack and get better at. Yeah, I think for me

460
00:18:31,320 --> 00:18:35,280
Speaker 1: physically is just my footwork, making sure all my cleats

461
00:18:35,280 --> 00:18:37,200
Speaker 1: are in the ground at all times and not getting

462
00:18:37,400 --> 00:18:42,200
Speaker 1: you know, or unbalanced. And you know, obviously playing quarterback

463
00:18:42,480 --> 00:18:44,960
Speaker 1: at any level, you're not gonna have a perfect pocket

464
00:18:45,000 --> 00:18:47,720
Speaker 1: to throw in every single time, So working off platform

465
00:18:47,800 --> 00:18:50,399
Speaker 1: throws that sort of thing, and and really honing in

466
00:18:50,480 --> 00:18:53,600
Speaker 1: on on the three different types of throws that there are, drive, layer,

467
00:18:53,600 --> 00:18:56,280
Speaker 1: and touch, and just really focusing on those three throws,

468
00:18:56,320 --> 00:18:59,880
Speaker 1: and then you know, mentally, just again expanding the mind,

469
00:19:00,000 --> 00:19:02,600
Speaker 1: expanding the knowledge of the game, and then that sort

470
00:19:02,640 --> 00:19:04,080
Speaker 1: of thing I want I want to jump into real quick.

471
00:19:04,200 --> 00:19:06,520
Speaker 1: You said the word because the layers. Over the last

472
00:19:06,600 --> 00:19:08,680
Speaker 1: couple of years, I've fallen in love with that word

473
00:19:08,720 --> 00:19:10,960
Speaker 1: when you're looking for a descriptor when you're watching quarterbacks

474
00:19:10,960 --> 00:19:13,240
Speaker 1: throw with the over under throws that I just think

475
00:19:13,359 --> 00:19:16,439
Speaker 1: layering describes it beautifully. How would you define what you

476
00:19:16,480 --> 00:19:18,320
Speaker 1: mean there by layering the ball? Yeah, so you know

477
00:19:18,320 --> 00:19:20,560
Speaker 1: a lot of people call it a two ball um,

478
00:19:20,600 --> 00:19:23,280
Speaker 1: but a layer a layer ball is you know, not

479
00:19:23,280 --> 00:19:24,920
Speaker 1: not so much touch, and you gotta have a little

480
00:19:24,920 --> 00:19:26,639
Speaker 1: bit of touch, but you're not really driving it in

481
00:19:26,680 --> 00:19:28,919
Speaker 1: there with all your you know, all your arm strength

482
00:19:28,920 --> 00:19:31,520
Speaker 1: and all the force that you can create. So you know,

483
00:19:31,640 --> 00:19:35,399
Speaker 1: just that that fine line between both of those and uh,

484
00:19:35,520 --> 00:19:37,640
Speaker 1: you know, whether you gotta layer it over a defender

485
00:19:37,720 --> 00:19:39,440
Speaker 1: and and really put it in the in the bread

486
00:19:39,480 --> 00:19:42,520
Speaker 1: basket one of challenges down here the Senior Bowl is

487
00:19:42,640 --> 00:19:45,199
Speaker 1: you're throwing to all new guys at the perimeter, and

488
00:19:45,200 --> 00:19:47,120
Speaker 1: so you have all these personal goals that you want

489
00:19:47,119 --> 00:19:49,760
Speaker 1: to accomplish, but yet it takes guys on the path

490
00:19:50,040 --> 00:19:52,119
Speaker 1: receiving in to do it. How do you develop a

491
00:19:52,200 --> 00:19:54,320
Speaker 1: chemistry in the connection with a set of guys that

492
00:19:54,359 --> 00:19:56,320
Speaker 1: you've never really thrown too right? I mean, obviously it's

493
00:19:56,359 --> 00:19:57,879
Speaker 1: gonna take a lot of hard work and practice to

494
00:19:57,880 --> 00:20:01,119
Speaker 1: get those timing routes down and stuff. And uh, something

495
00:20:01,160 --> 00:20:03,040
Speaker 1: I love about Jordan Palmer and what he does is

496
00:20:03,400 --> 00:20:06,080
Speaker 1: every every single day we throw two different guys and

497
00:20:06,200 --> 00:20:07,919
Speaker 1: they're they're not guys that are going to be out

498
00:20:07,920 --> 00:20:10,040
Speaker 1: there running fourth three or four fours. I mean, they're

499
00:20:10,080 --> 00:20:12,880
Speaker 1: they're high school guys or or ex you know, college

500
00:20:12,880 --> 00:20:15,440
Speaker 1: players that are no longer playing, or you know, whatever

501
00:20:15,480 --> 00:20:17,639
Speaker 1: it may be. You kind of have to adapt to

502
00:20:17,800 --> 00:20:19,639
Speaker 1: who you're throwing with. So you gotta you gotta know

503
00:20:19,720 --> 00:20:23,000
Speaker 1: your personnel, um and you have to make the throw,

504
00:20:23,280 --> 00:20:25,840
Speaker 1: you know, depending on you know, there's certain strengths. One

505
00:20:25,880 --> 00:20:27,600
Speaker 1: of the things I want to ask you about. You're

506
00:20:27,680 --> 00:20:29,159
Speaker 1: under a lot of pressure this year. You know, you

507
00:20:29,160 --> 00:20:31,440
Speaker 1: watch certain games. The Mississippi State game. Was just watching

508
00:20:31,440 --> 00:20:33,000
Speaker 1: that the other day. You get hit a bunch in

509
00:20:33,040 --> 00:20:35,960
Speaker 1: that game. When you're trying to drill and work on

510
00:20:36,040 --> 00:20:38,520
Speaker 1: pocket awareness and being able to feel some of those things.

511
00:20:38,640 --> 00:20:40,639
Speaker 1: How can you drill that something you it's kind of

512
00:20:40,680 --> 00:20:43,320
Speaker 1: innate feel almost, but you try and simulate that especially,

513
00:20:43,400 --> 00:20:46,960
Speaker 1: can how do you attack that? I think obviously there's

514
00:20:47,000 --> 00:20:49,560
Speaker 1: nothing quite like game reps. I think everybody knows that

515
00:20:50,400 --> 00:20:52,879
Speaker 1: in practice as a quarterback, you're not gonna have guys,

516
00:20:54,000 --> 00:20:56,040
Speaker 1: you know what I'm saying. Especially, I mean at Auburn

517
00:20:56,160 --> 00:20:57,840
Speaker 1: you've got one of the best defensive lines in the country.

518
00:20:57,840 --> 00:21:02,000
Speaker 1: You don't get that game like feel of guys are

519
00:21:02,359 --> 00:21:04,800
Speaker 1: trying to rip your head off basically. So you know

520
00:21:04,920 --> 00:21:07,840
Speaker 1: when you're talking about drill wise, um, just a lot

521
00:21:07,880 --> 00:21:10,520
Speaker 1: of different movement, a lot of different movements UM in

522
00:21:10,560 --> 00:21:13,440
Speaker 1: the pocket, getting outside of the pocket, trying to emulate

523
00:21:13,480 --> 00:21:16,240
Speaker 1: it as as best you can without having life reps.

524
00:21:16,280 --> 00:21:19,360
Speaker 1: So your your time at Auburn has been a bit

525
00:21:19,400 --> 00:21:21,320
Speaker 1: of an up and down ride in terms of Auburn

526
00:21:21,359 --> 00:21:24,000
Speaker 1: not necessarily meeting expects as you guys are always expected

527
00:21:24,040 --> 00:21:26,720
Speaker 1: to compete for the SEC title, maybe the national title.

528
00:21:26,920 --> 00:21:30,520
Speaker 1: How are your experiences they're good and bad? Help you

529
00:21:30,560 --> 00:21:32,800
Speaker 1: when it goes to getting to the next level. I

530
00:21:32,880 --> 00:21:36,000
Speaker 1: think it's helped me tremendously. I'm very fortunate that I've

531
00:21:36,200 --> 00:21:38,360
Speaker 1: got I got to play at Auburn University and graduate

532
00:21:38,359 --> 00:21:42,359
Speaker 1: from Auburn University. UM. But there's nothing quite like the

533
00:21:42,440 --> 00:21:45,119
Speaker 1: SEC in my opinion, And I've I've got a different

534
00:21:45,160 --> 00:21:47,200
Speaker 1: perspective than a lot of guys. You've got a couple

535
00:21:47,200 --> 00:21:49,960
Speaker 1: of you know, I've played in the Big Twelve, played

536
00:21:49,960 --> 00:21:53,880
Speaker 1: in the SEC and UM and I'm not nockingating conference.

537
00:21:53,920 --> 00:21:56,760
Speaker 1: I just I just think the SEC is the cream

538
00:21:56,760 --> 00:22:00,359
Speaker 1: of the crop, and it's it's the closest thing to

539
00:22:00,680 --> 00:22:05,480
Speaker 1: NFL like teams UM and and you play against a

540
00:22:05,480 --> 00:22:08,320
Speaker 1: ton of great talent UM and it's a battle every

541
00:22:08,359 --> 00:22:10,920
Speaker 1: single week. I mean you go from Old Miss to

542
00:22:10,920 --> 00:22:14,720
Speaker 1: Mississippi State to Tennessee to Georgia, Tabama to A and M.

543
00:22:15,000 --> 00:22:16,639
Speaker 1: The list goes on and on, and I mean just

544
00:22:17,040 --> 00:22:18,920
Speaker 1: just a ton of great teams, ton of great talent.

545
00:22:19,000 --> 00:22:22,320
Speaker 1: And I think the thing that I'm proud of most

546
00:22:22,480 --> 00:22:24,919
Speaker 1: is I mean you're you're not I mean you try

547
00:22:24,960 --> 00:22:27,080
Speaker 1: and win every game, and if you lose you gotta

548
00:22:27,080 --> 00:22:28,760
Speaker 1: bounce back. You have to be able to bounce back

549
00:22:28,800 --> 00:22:30,840
Speaker 1: because you're you're playing a team just as good, if

550
00:22:30,880 --> 00:22:33,880
Speaker 1: not better than the team you played the week prior. So, Um,

551
00:22:33,960 --> 00:22:37,320
Speaker 1: being able to go through adversity throughout a season and

552
00:22:37,359 --> 00:22:39,800
Speaker 1: like I said, whether the storm and try and get

553
00:22:39,840 --> 00:22:42,400
Speaker 1: those guys in the locker room to stay together, stay tight,

554
00:22:42,440 --> 00:22:45,000
Speaker 1: and then try and finish out, you know, the next

555
00:22:45,040 --> 00:22:46,800
Speaker 1: week's game and the rest of the season. I'm gonna

556
00:22:46,800 --> 00:22:48,320
Speaker 1: ask you to put your scout head on and join

557
00:22:48,400 --> 00:22:50,119
Speaker 1: us in the scouting world here for just a minute.

558
00:22:50,600 --> 00:22:52,399
Speaker 1: One of you guys got a chance to play against

559
00:22:52,800 --> 00:22:55,040
Speaker 1: during your career, that Clempson defensive front. You got a

560
00:22:55,080 --> 00:22:57,400
Speaker 1: chance to see that Alabama front a couple of times there.

561
00:22:58,000 --> 00:23:00,040
Speaker 1: What's the best front that you played against? And I

562
00:23:01,440 --> 00:23:04,440
Speaker 1: m city stay front is no joking, yeah's in there.

563
00:23:04,480 --> 00:23:08,480
Speaker 1: But that's a tough one. Um, Do I dare praise

564
00:23:08,520 --> 00:23:14,520
Speaker 1: the Alabama head? No, it's really I mean, what's still

565
00:23:14,520 --> 00:23:15,959
Speaker 1: talk about the Cleinson grip. I'll just get you off

566
00:23:15,960 --> 00:23:19,840
Speaker 1: the four of them. I mean, you got Christian Wilkins

567
00:23:19,880 --> 00:23:21,840
Speaker 1: and Dexter Lawrence in the middle and you got the

568
00:23:21,840 --> 00:23:24,440
Speaker 1: two on the outside. I take your pick. I mean,

569
00:23:24,440 --> 00:23:27,040
Speaker 1: pick your poison. You know, it's like, let's double team him,

570
00:23:27,040 --> 00:23:28,920
Speaker 1: but then that leaves that guy free and one on one.

571
00:23:29,040 --> 00:23:33,080
Speaker 1: So I mean, with with those guys, which I learned

572
00:23:33,080 --> 00:23:36,080
Speaker 1: my lesson that game, throw the ball away, so I'll

573
00:23:36,119 --> 00:23:39,440
Speaker 1: learned my lesson, but tremendous front with those guys. And

574
00:23:39,480 --> 00:23:42,080
Speaker 1: then obviously Alabama They're gonna have guys every single year,

575
00:23:42,440 --> 00:23:44,639
Speaker 1: um Quinn and Williams. This year, he's probably one of

576
00:23:44,680 --> 00:23:48,679
Speaker 1: the better players I've ever got against. I'm just completely disruptive.

577
00:23:48,720 --> 00:23:51,640
Speaker 1: But they I mean, they've got guys that I mean

578
00:23:52,320 --> 00:23:55,320
Speaker 1: just everywhere on that on that defense, they're they're everywhere.

579
00:23:55,480 --> 00:23:58,560
Speaker 1: So I mean, nice work. We can keep the scouting

580
00:23:58,600 --> 00:24:01,960
Speaker 1: head on in the next couple of months and selling

581
00:24:02,000 --> 00:24:04,240
Speaker 1: yourself to teams. What are some of the things that

582
00:24:04,320 --> 00:24:06,439
Speaker 1: you want to show teams to make them feel conforta

583
00:24:06,480 --> 00:24:07,639
Speaker 1: about to you pretend to be in the face of

584
00:24:07,680 --> 00:24:10,840
Speaker 1: the franchise. I think, like like I said earlier, leadership qualities.

585
00:24:10,880 --> 00:24:12,600
Speaker 1: I think that's the main thing if if you're going

586
00:24:12,640 --> 00:24:15,439
Speaker 1: to draft somebody to to hopefully run your organization in

587
00:24:15,960 --> 00:24:17,800
Speaker 1: a year or two years, three years, whatever it may be.

588
00:24:18,200 --> 00:24:19,440
Speaker 1: I think you gotta be able to trust him that

589
00:24:19,440 --> 00:24:21,960
Speaker 1: he's gonna lead those guys in the locker room. So

590
00:24:22,000 --> 00:24:26,040
Speaker 1: that that's the first thing. Uh. Secondly, I would definitely say, um,

591
00:24:26,080 --> 00:24:30,880
Speaker 1: just that I can gain more knowledge about football, and um,

592
00:24:30,920 --> 00:24:34,119
Speaker 1: I love to learn football. UM. I mean I just

593
00:24:34,200 --> 00:24:37,880
Speaker 1: love talking to talking to guys about it, um, coaches, players,

594
00:24:37,880 --> 00:24:39,600
Speaker 1: just hey, what are you seeing on this? What does

595
00:24:39,640 --> 00:24:41,640
Speaker 1: this mean? You know that sort of thing. Just really

596
00:24:41,640 --> 00:24:45,639
Speaker 1: expanding my my knowledge of football. And then thirdly, um,

597
00:24:45,680 --> 00:24:49,119
Speaker 1: you know, when it comes to playing the game, UM,

598
00:24:49,119 --> 00:24:52,960
Speaker 1: controlling an offense and having complete control of those guys

599
00:24:53,000 --> 00:24:55,639
Speaker 1: in the huddle, have a have a have a it

600
00:24:55,840 --> 00:24:58,520
Speaker 1: factor about me on the field in the huddle and

601
00:24:58,560 --> 00:25:00,440
Speaker 1: making sure those guys are around me. And in a

602
00:25:00,560 --> 00:25:02,960
Speaker 1: term I really like to use is is being a multiplayer.

603
00:25:03,119 --> 00:25:05,520
Speaker 1: Are you gonna bring guys up to your level on

604
00:25:05,560 --> 00:25:08,600
Speaker 1: a daily basis in the weight room, you know, on

605
00:25:08,600 --> 00:25:10,399
Speaker 1: on the practice field, in the meeting room? Would really

606
00:25:10,440 --> 00:25:12,680
Speaker 1: be a multiplayer. I'm gonna do a little role play

607
00:25:12,680 --> 00:25:15,000
Speaker 1: here with you real quick. Okay, this is your rookie year.

608
00:25:15,680 --> 00:25:18,159
Speaker 1: Let's say this is uh, this is week four, you

609
00:25:18,280 --> 00:25:20,959
Speaker 1: get your first start. It's week four of the regular season.

610
00:25:21,520 --> 00:25:23,440
Speaker 1: You're in a kind of a crucial point in the game.

611
00:25:23,480 --> 00:25:27,560
Speaker 1: We'll go third quarter. It's third and five. Your left guard,

612
00:25:27,600 --> 00:25:30,440
Speaker 1: he's a he's an eight year Your left guard jumps offside.

613
00:25:30,440 --> 00:25:33,040
Speaker 1: Now you're in third and ten. You drop back, third

614
00:25:33,080 --> 00:25:35,320
Speaker 1: and ten. You throw the prettiest comeback you've ever thrown

615
00:25:35,359 --> 00:25:38,000
Speaker 1: your whole life, right right in the chest. You get

616
00:25:38,040 --> 00:25:39,840
Speaker 1: a drop. It's fourth down, your punt. You guys go

617
00:25:39,920 --> 00:25:42,480
Speaker 1: off the field. What is Jared said him doing at

618
00:25:42,520 --> 00:25:44,960
Speaker 1: that point in time. I'm going up and down the sideline.

619
00:25:45,440 --> 00:25:47,280
Speaker 1: Whether you know, if it is a crucial point in

620
00:25:47,280 --> 00:25:50,880
Speaker 1: the game, um um, Because I always like being positive

621
00:25:50,880 --> 00:25:52,280
Speaker 1: with my guys. Now, if I got if I got

622
00:25:52,320 --> 00:25:53,960
Speaker 1: to get onto somebody, I'm gonna get on him in

623
00:25:54,200 --> 00:25:56,240
Speaker 1: the right way. And I think that's you gotta know

624
00:25:56,320 --> 00:25:58,560
Speaker 1: your guys. So if this guy responds to this, or

625
00:25:58,600 --> 00:26:01,159
Speaker 1: if that guy responds to that, you have a have

626
00:26:01,200 --> 00:26:04,320
Speaker 1: a sense of the relationship with them. Um. But going

627
00:26:04,359 --> 00:26:07,000
Speaker 1: up and down the sideline, guys, we're gonna get We're

628
00:26:07,000 --> 00:26:08,760
Speaker 1: gonna get the ball back, defense is gonna get stop.

629
00:26:08,840 --> 00:26:11,159
Speaker 1: We gotta go down to score with go. Because I

630
00:26:11,200 --> 00:26:14,640
Speaker 1: always love talking to the running backs individually, whether running backs,

631
00:26:14,640 --> 00:26:18,000
Speaker 1: some fullbacks, receivers individually, and then obviously those offensive linement

632
00:26:18,160 --> 00:26:21,800
Speaker 1: giving them some love. Hey, left guard, Hey keep it up, dude.

633
00:26:21,800 --> 00:26:24,000
Speaker 1: You're here for a reason. You're an eight year vet.

634
00:26:24,680 --> 00:26:26,680
Speaker 1: It's all good. We'll get the ball here in a minute.

635
00:26:26,680 --> 00:26:29,360
Speaker 1: We're gonna go down to score. So just completely completely

636
00:26:29,400 --> 00:26:32,040
Speaker 1: be positive with them and keep that up there the

637
00:26:32,080 --> 00:26:35,040
Speaker 1: whole game. So, if we could fast forward a year

638
00:26:35,080 --> 00:26:37,359
Speaker 1: from now at the end of your rookie season, what

639
00:26:37,440 --> 00:26:42,400
Speaker 1: would you like to have accomplished during the first year. Shoot, man,

640
00:26:42,720 --> 00:26:45,800
Speaker 1: there's a lot. I think. I think anybody would say obviously,

641
00:26:45,880 --> 00:26:50,000
Speaker 1: to win a Super Bowl. Um. I mean, any rookie

642
00:26:50,040 --> 00:26:52,399
Speaker 1: I'm sure would would definitely would say that. Um. But

643
00:26:52,520 --> 00:26:54,480
Speaker 1: you know, honestly, I'm looking to go in and win

644
00:26:54,560 --> 00:26:57,280
Speaker 1: games wherever. Wherever that might be. Um, I mean, that's

645
00:26:57,320 --> 00:27:01,160
Speaker 1: the name of the game. Guys draft you to win games,

646
00:27:01,240 --> 00:27:03,000
Speaker 1: and so that's what that's what I want to do

647
00:27:03,040 --> 00:27:06,359
Speaker 1: moving forward, is go in learning offense right away and

648
00:27:06,560 --> 00:27:08,320
Speaker 1: have a chance to compete for that starting job and

649
00:27:08,760 --> 00:27:10,600
Speaker 1: win a lot of games. Last question, I'll let you

650
00:27:10,640 --> 00:27:12,400
Speaker 1: go on this one. The most important question is can

651
00:27:12,440 --> 00:27:15,000
Speaker 1: require the most thought? I need an honest answer. Better

652
00:27:15,040 --> 00:27:18,240
Speaker 1: barbecue in the South or or in Texas. Texas hands down,

653
00:27:18,280 --> 00:27:23,520
Speaker 1: Sorry Texas. What's the difference? Well, I didn't I didn't

654
00:27:23,520 --> 00:27:27,320
Speaker 1: realize this until I came out like Alabama. But people

655
00:27:27,520 --> 00:27:30,879
Speaker 1: here they like white barbecue sauce. I've never heard of that,

656
00:27:31,760 --> 00:27:33,439
Speaker 1: and people love it here and it's I mean, it's okay,

657
00:27:33,480 --> 00:27:35,880
Speaker 1: but it's just not it's not barbecue. So I think

658
00:27:35,920 --> 00:27:38,359
Speaker 1: that's one of the main things. And I will say,

659
00:27:38,560 --> 00:27:42,520
Speaker 1: there's beef brisket in Texas, where everything here is pork.

660
00:27:42,920 --> 00:27:45,280
Speaker 1: So I and I like pork, but it's not the

661
00:27:45,280 --> 00:27:49,680
Speaker 1: best beef briskets. It's a very very precise answer, right there.

662
00:27:49,720 --> 00:27:51,959
Speaker 1: I'm getting I'm giving it some thought. I like that.

663
00:27:52,000 --> 00:27:56,520
Speaker 1: All right, there is thanks. I appreciate you guys. I

664
00:27:56,520 --> 00:27:58,920
Speaker 1: don't think this year, you know, finished up the way

665
00:27:58,920 --> 00:28:01,040
Speaker 1: that Jared Stidham wanted to finish up Buck. But I'll

666
00:28:01,040 --> 00:28:03,240
Speaker 1: tell you what, he's an impressive guy. He's got a

667
00:28:03,320 --> 00:28:06,240
Speaker 1: nice kind of energy about him, a good charisma, and

668
00:28:06,440 --> 00:28:08,760
Speaker 1: you want someone that can that can make every throw.

669
00:28:08,840 --> 00:28:10,439
Speaker 1: He can do that. Now he's got to clean some

670
00:28:10,520 --> 00:28:12,480
Speaker 1: things up, but there's a lot to work with. There.

671
00:28:12,560 --> 00:28:14,399
Speaker 1: There's a lot to work without. I don't know if

672
00:28:14,440 --> 00:28:16,439
Speaker 1: you're a golfer or not, but like I cannot, I

673
00:28:16,480 --> 00:28:18,760
Speaker 1: break every stereotype, So I kind of like to play

674
00:28:18,800 --> 00:28:21,000
Speaker 1: with my golf balls. They have a little scuff on him.

675
00:28:21,000 --> 00:28:22,280
Speaker 1: I like him be a little beat up a little

676
00:28:22,320 --> 00:28:24,200
Speaker 1: bit before I get to him. Okay, like it goes.

677
00:28:24,760 --> 00:28:26,480
Speaker 1: I feel like with Jared said him, I feel like

678
00:28:26,720 --> 00:28:28,199
Speaker 1: the thing that is going to help him at the

679
00:28:28,240 --> 00:28:30,320
Speaker 1: next level is the level of adversity that he's faced

680
00:28:30,320 --> 00:28:32,760
Speaker 1: doing his collegiate career. I believe that is gonna happen.

681
00:28:32,760 --> 00:28:34,159
Speaker 1: It's gonna serve him what It's gonna give him an

682
00:28:34,160 --> 00:28:36,640
Speaker 1: opportunity to play through some of those hiccups that other

683
00:28:36,680 --> 00:28:39,440
Speaker 1: guys kind of fall short when they've faced him. Another

684
00:28:39,480 --> 00:28:43,120
Speaker 1: quarterback that's had an interesting journey, quite the journey a

685
00:28:43,160 --> 00:28:45,320
Speaker 1: couple of different schools over six year period of time

686
00:28:45,440 --> 00:28:48,000
Speaker 1: is NC States Ryan Finley, and we had a chance

687
00:28:48,200 --> 00:28:51,400
Speaker 1: to catch up with him. But we always love it

688
00:28:51,400 --> 00:28:53,720
Speaker 1: when we get a chance to visit with quarterbacks here,

689
00:28:53,760 --> 00:28:57,160
Speaker 1: even though as an NC State state guy, we welcome

690
00:28:57,200 --> 00:28:59,960
Speaker 1: in an NC State guy. How's it going, It's going well. Thanks,

691
00:29:00,400 --> 00:29:02,280
Speaker 1: I appreciate you taking some time with us here. First

692
00:29:02,280 --> 00:29:03,840
Speaker 1: of all, let's let's go through your journey a little bit.

693
00:29:03,840 --> 00:29:06,040
Speaker 1: You've got a unique story where you start out in

694
00:29:06,040 --> 00:29:08,560
Speaker 1: the college journey and where you ended up. Yeah, I mean,

695
00:29:08,720 --> 00:29:11,200
Speaker 1: I saw I started off at Boise State. Uh, three

696
00:29:11,240 --> 00:29:13,800
Speaker 1: years at Boise State, three years at North Carolina State,

697
00:29:14,320 --> 00:29:16,200
Speaker 1: so kind of felt like I had two shots at

698
00:29:16,240 --> 00:29:19,440
Speaker 1: college football. But uh, you know, six years later, I'm ready,

699
00:29:19,480 --> 00:29:21,880
Speaker 1: I'm ready for something different. Obviously, people listening to this,

700
00:29:21,880 --> 00:29:24,040
Speaker 1: they're gonna hear sixth years. So explain how you ended

701
00:29:24,120 --> 00:29:26,160
Speaker 1: up getting a six year Yeah, so I was my

702
00:29:26,240 --> 00:29:28,960
Speaker 1: red shirt year. I had had a bad shoulder, so

703
00:29:29,120 --> 00:29:31,720
Speaker 1: got surgery on that, and then my third year I

704
00:29:31,720 --> 00:29:33,480
Speaker 1: broke my ankle. So you know, I had a red

705
00:29:33,480 --> 00:29:35,680
Speaker 1: shirt year that that puts you on the five year plan,

706
00:29:35,760 --> 00:29:37,960
Speaker 1: and then a medical shirt year puts you on the

707
00:29:37,960 --> 00:29:40,640
Speaker 1: six year plan. So so n SE State obviously has

708
00:29:40,640 --> 00:29:43,040
Speaker 1: a reputation for producing quarterbacks. You see a number of

709
00:29:43,040 --> 00:29:46,040
Speaker 1: guys that have gone from there, Philip Rivers, Mike Lennon,

710
00:29:46,320 --> 00:29:49,120
Speaker 1: Russell Wilson, You'll be the next one. What is it

711
00:29:49,160 --> 00:29:51,680
Speaker 1: about playing an NC State that prepares guys to play

712
00:29:51,680 --> 00:29:54,080
Speaker 1: at the next level? Yeah, I think there was. It

713
00:29:54,160 --> 00:29:56,080
Speaker 1: was pretty awesome to be you know, kind of a

714
00:29:56,080 --> 00:29:59,840
Speaker 1: part of that that lineage. That's some some awesome quarterbacks

715
00:29:59,840 --> 00:30:03,160
Speaker 1: that came through and definitely something that I didn't take lightly,

716
00:30:03,200 --> 00:30:04,320
Speaker 1: you know what I mean, I had you know, I

717
00:30:04,360 --> 00:30:07,040
Speaker 1: had big shoes to fill, So I don't know, I

718
00:30:07,040 --> 00:30:10,280
Speaker 1: think you know North Carolina rally there, it's it's just awesome, man,

719
00:30:10,560 --> 00:30:13,320
Speaker 1: It's uh, it was a blessing to to follow those guys.

720
00:30:13,320 --> 00:30:15,160
Speaker 1: For sure. You've got a chance to to be on

721
00:30:15,200 --> 00:30:16,920
Speaker 1: a team there with a lot of NFL players. Just

722
00:30:16,960 --> 00:30:18,760
Speaker 1: look at your defensive line the year before, all the

723
00:30:18,800 --> 00:30:21,120
Speaker 1: guys that you guys pumped out. Now you're gonna get

724
00:30:21,160 --> 00:30:22,680
Speaker 1: a chance to go step in the locker room, now

725
00:30:22,920 --> 00:30:25,080
Speaker 1: get guys like that. But now grown men. I mean,

726
00:30:25,120 --> 00:30:27,680
Speaker 1: what what do you anticipate being the challenge going from

727
00:30:27,800 --> 00:30:30,240
Speaker 1: leading eighteen to twenty two year old guys? Is a

728
00:30:30,280 --> 00:30:33,200
Speaker 1: six year player versus step into that huddle with somebody

729
00:30:33,200 --> 00:30:35,520
Speaker 1: that's got four kids and a wife. I mean I

730
00:30:35,520 --> 00:30:37,640
Speaker 1: think definitely. I mean, that's that's the NFL for you.

731
00:30:37,800 --> 00:30:40,960
Speaker 1: So uh, I'm excited for that. I'm excited for that opportunity.

732
00:30:41,680 --> 00:30:43,760
Speaker 1: Like I said, you know, ready for the next step.

733
00:30:43,880 --> 00:30:46,240
Speaker 1: And I feel like I'm kind of an old guy myself,

734
00:30:46,280 --> 00:30:48,560
Speaker 1: so I've been trying to be a professional for the

735
00:30:48,640 --> 00:30:50,160
Speaker 1: last couple of years and that's kind of just how

736
00:30:50,160 --> 00:30:52,760
Speaker 1: I go about my business. So I'm just excited to learn,

737
00:30:52,840 --> 00:30:54,800
Speaker 1: excited to you know, get to know guys and just

738
00:30:54,880 --> 00:30:56,960
Speaker 1: kind of take in everything and kind of soak it

739
00:30:56,960 --> 00:31:00,320
Speaker 1: all in. Speaking of learning, you you come here after

740
00:31:00,360 --> 00:31:02,120
Speaker 1: playing in an offense and ency stayed it has some

741
00:31:02,160 --> 00:31:05,560
Speaker 1: prol concepts, But how excited would you about the challenge

742
00:31:05,560 --> 00:31:07,480
Speaker 1: of playing in a pro style offense doing it for

743
00:31:07,520 --> 00:31:10,520
Speaker 1: real at the NFL Love. Yeah, I think that's one

744
00:31:10,560 --> 00:31:12,719
Speaker 1: of the most fun, you know, parts about it for me.

745
00:31:12,800 --> 00:31:14,040
Speaker 1: And I think I, like you said, I got a

746
00:31:14,080 --> 00:31:17,080
Speaker 1: little introduction into that, but into some of the verbis

747
00:31:17,120 --> 00:31:19,440
Speaker 1: and stuff like that, but it's a whole another level.

748
00:31:19,440 --> 00:31:22,040
Speaker 1: So I'm excited for that, and I think that's you know,

749
00:31:22,160 --> 00:31:23,920
Speaker 1: that's what takes the game to the next level. So

750
00:31:24,000 --> 00:31:25,640
Speaker 1: I'm excited for that. I think I'm ready for it.

751
00:31:25,920 --> 00:31:27,680
Speaker 1: I just give us a generic call, or just give

752
00:31:27,760 --> 00:31:30,719
Speaker 1: us a generic call, a play call, give me the

753
00:31:30,720 --> 00:31:32,760
Speaker 1: coverage that you would see, and then just walk me

754
00:31:32,760 --> 00:31:34,720
Speaker 1: through a read. Could be any any your favorite play

00:31:48,440 --> 00:31:50,840
Speaker 1: into the into the boundary that we call it fibbed

761
00:31:50,880 --> 00:31:53,560
Speaker 1: formation into the boundary. We we did a lot of

762
00:31:53,560 --> 00:31:56,320
Speaker 1: FIBs stuff just because it's it's easy to I I

00:32:06,440 --> 00:32:08,840
Speaker 1: just kind of clears everything up. So you know he's

768
00:32:08,880 --> 00:32:10,600
Speaker 1: got it. He's got an oil to the field we

769
00:32:10,640 --> 00:32:13,480
Speaker 1: called an out is locked at ten yards press coverage.

770
00:32:13,480 --> 00:32:16,360
Speaker 1: We're giving him a nine and let's roll, let's let's

771
00:32:16,360 --> 00:32:18,000
Speaker 1: put it up, let's look off the safety and let's

772
00:32:18,080 --> 00:32:20,560
Speaker 1: let's throw it. Uh. You know, coming into your vision,

773
00:32:20,560 --> 00:32:23,160
Speaker 1: you got the under just kind of your your drive concept.

774
00:32:23,200 --> 00:32:24,600
Speaker 1: You know, you got your under to your end to

775
00:32:24,720 --> 00:32:27,840
Speaker 1: your take two posts over the top. Um, so that

776
00:32:28,080 --> 00:32:31,400
Speaker 1: you know that's my favorite call quarters. It's got answers everywhere.

777
00:32:31,440 --> 00:32:35,040
Speaker 1: Throw the oil to the field, alert that boundary post,

778
00:32:35,280 --> 00:32:37,440
Speaker 1: kind of that pen concept, you know, kind of that

779
00:32:37,560 --> 00:32:40,640
Speaker 1: safety um cover two. Just kind of go under to

780
00:32:40,760 --> 00:32:43,440
Speaker 1: your dig to your check spot. So that was that.

781
00:32:43,440 --> 00:32:45,520
Speaker 1: That was a call that we called a lot um.

782
00:32:45,600 --> 00:32:47,360
Speaker 1: It ended up kind of being to a point where

783
00:32:47,360 --> 00:32:49,040
Speaker 1: like any time we wanted to take a shot, we

784
00:32:49,160 --> 00:32:51,240
Speaker 1: just call that. It's like an opportunity to take a shot,

785
00:32:51,280 --> 00:32:52,920
Speaker 1: but it's also opportunity to just go to your read.

786
00:32:52,960 --> 00:32:55,840
Speaker 1: So that was probably my favorite play. We end up

787
00:32:55,840 --> 00:32:58,520
Speaker 1: throwing the throwing the nine ball to Kelvin more than

788
00:32:58,560 --> 00:33:02,000
Speaker 1: once I've seen it. Yeah, nothing wrong with that taking shot.

789
00:33:02,080 --> 00:33:04,200
Speaker 1: So now coming down to mobile playing in the Senior Bowl,

790
00:33:04,360 --> 00:33:05,720
Speaker 1: what are some of the things that you want to

791
00:33:05,760 --> 00:33:07,920
Speaker 1: prove and show a discouse this week. Yeah, I think

792
00:33:07,920 --> 00:33:10,160
Speaker 1: I just want to show that I'm a good teammate.

793
00:33:10,200 --> 00:33:13,560
Speaker 1: I'm out there bouncing around, having fun, playing with passion.

794
00:33:13,640 --> 00:33:15,560
Speaker 1: I think I wanna show I can spend it a

795
00:33:15,600 --> 00:33:18,640
Speaker 1: little bit. I think I questions about my arm strength

796
00:33:18,640 --> 00:33:20,200
Speaker 1: that I kind of want to just want to kind

797
00:33:20,200 --> 00:33:22,600
Speaker 1: of go out there and let it rip. Um. I

798
00:33:22,600 --> 00:33:24,040
Speaker 1: want to show that I can kind of make off

799
00:33:24,040 --> 00:33:27,280
Speaker 1: schedule plays, you know something, I think I can continue

800
00:33:27,280 --> 00:33:29,600
Speaker 1: to work on just kind of you know, getting outside

801
00:33:29,640 --> 00:33:31,880
Speaker 1: the pocket and making plays and things like that in

802
00:33:31,960 --> 00:33:34,120
Speaker 1: extending place I want to get to. I want to

803
00:33:34,160 --> 00:33:35,800
Speaker 1: get in the time machine here and let's go. Let's

804
00:33:35,800 --> 00:33:38,400
Speaker 1: fast forward things. Get to the end of your rookie year. Uh.

805
00:33:38,440 --> 00:33:40,800
Speaker 1: If you're gonna look back at your rookie year and

806
00:33:40,840 --> 00:33:44,200
Speaker 1: say it was it was a tremendous success, what's what's transpired?

807
00:33:45,920 --> 00:33:49,640
Speaker 1: I think I just um fit into the situation. I

808
00:33:49,680 --> 00:33:53,440
Speaker 1: think I hopefully took a ton of notes. I learned

809
00:33:53,480 --> 00:33:56,600
Speaker 1: a lot um, you know, became close with some guys

810
00:33:56,600 --> 00:34:00,240
Speaker 1: on the team, got to know everyone um and and

811
00:34:00,800 --> 00:34:03,720
Speaker 1: have a good relationship with my coach, and you know,

812
00:34:04,000 --> 00:34:07,240
Speaker 1: did whatever did whatever to help you know, the team

813
00:34:07,240 --> 00:34:10,640
Speaker 1: to win and be successful, whether that's you know, helping

814
00:34:10,640 --> 00:34:13,040
Speaker 1: the starter or being the starter and and you know

815
00:34:13,080 --> 00:34:15,560
Speaker 1: being out there campine in my ass off. When you

816
00:34:15,840 --> 00:34:19,640
Speaker 1: think about the NFL game, obviously we all looked Sunday.

817
00:34:19,719 --> 00:34:21,440
Speaker 1: We have role models guys that we paid in a

818
00:34:21,520 --> 00:34:23,360
Speaker 1: game after Who are some of the quarterback that you

819
00:34:24,000 --> 00:34:27,920
Speaker 1: take bits and pieces up and sprinkling to your game. Um,

820
00:34:27,960 --> 00:34:30,480
Speaker 1: as far as just pure enjoyment watching I love watching

821
00:34:30,520 --> 00:34:34,320
Speaker 1: Aaron Rodgers just as far as just a physical specimen. Um.

822
00:34:34,360 --> 00:34:37,600
Speaker 1: Tom Brady, you know read his book. You know, have

823
00:34:37,640 --> 00:34:39,400
Speaker 1: you done the diet? Have you tried the diet? I

824
00:34:39,400 --> 00:34:42,320
Speaker 1: haven't done the diet, but thought it took some things

825
00:34:42,360 --> 00:34:49,120
Speaker 1: from it in your past realized cream. But Tom Brady

826
00:34:49,160 --> 00:34:51,040
Speaker 1: is a big one. Just as far as the preparation,

827
00:34:51,120 --> 00:34:55,319
Speaker 1: the longevity obviously, that's that's pretty remarkable. Um. You know,

828
00:34:55,440 --> 00:34:57,840
Speaker 1: I love watching Philip just kind of how he conducts

829
00:34:57,880 --> 00:35:00,000
Speaker 1: himself all the you know, the pre snap at Jet

830
00:35:00,000 --> 00:35:01,880
Speaker 1: were you there? Were you in the room for the

831
00:35:01,920 --> 00:35:04,839
Speaker 1: speech that he gave the missed it? No, I missed

832
00:35:04,840 --> 00:35:08,000
Speaker 1: it like a month. Come on, I watched that. I

833
00:35:08,080 --> 00:35:11,160
Speaker 1: watched it on tape because we recorded it obviously, but

834
00:35:12,880 --> 00:35:15,759
Speaker 1: our slogans came from that. Really, Yeah, because I was

835
00:35:15,800 --> 00:35:18,600
Speaker 1: I've heard where y'all out. I'm talking talking to your

836
00:35:18,600 --> 00:35:20,359
Speaker 1: defense and I wish you'd go out there. I'd weary

837
00:35:20,400 --> 00:35:22,680
Speaker 1: all out. I can see it. Well, Philip loss's mind.

838
00:35:22,719 --> 00:35:26,680
Speaker 1: If you haven't seen this video, but that's Rivers. That's Rivers. Um.

839
00:35:26,840 --> 00:35:28,960
Speaker 1: I want to hit you one more thing here. Uh

840
00:35:29,000 --> 00:35:32,279
Speaker 1: this week down here? Um getting a chance to eight

841
00:35:32,320 --> 00:35:35,960
Speaker 1: quarterbacks in this game, you're all jockeying for position. Do

842
00:35:36,000 --> 00:35:38,680
Speaker 1: you find yourself competitive? Juice is going? I mean it's

843
00:35:38,719 --> 00:35:40,160
Speaker 1: not like there's it's not like you're at NC State

844
00:35:40,160 --> 00:35:41,520
Speaker 1: and you're you're playing to try and get into bullgame.

845
00:35:41,560 --> 00:35:43,719
Speaker 1: Here it's a little different. It's about your future. But

846
00:35:43,840 --> 00:35:45,799
Speaker 1: just the competitiveness do you feel that start to get

847
00:35:46,000 --> 00:35:47,880
Speaker 1: a little bit with all these quarterbacks? Yeah, I mean

848
00:35:47,880 --> 00:35:49,839
Speaker 1: I think I think that's why we're all here, you know,

849
00:35:50,040 --> 00:35:52,640
Speaker 1: is to is to compete. And uh, I haven't even

850
00:35:52,640 --> 00:35:54,279
Speaker 1: really gotten to feel for that yet because it's kind

851
00:35:54,280 --> 00:35:57,200
Speaker 1: of been busy doing other stuff. But I'm excited for

852
00:35:57,400 --> 00:35:59,759
Speaker 1: when that that starts. That'll be fun tomorrow to get

853
00:35:59,760 --> 00:36:03,360
Speaker 1: out there. I think it's funny. Do one thing I

854
00:36:03,360 --> 00:36:06,960
Speaker 1: was gonna ask, Um, you talked about being excited, how

855
00:36:07,000 --> 00:36:08,719
Speaker 1: nervous would you be to kind of perform on the

856
00:36:08,760 --> 00:36:11,480
Speaker 1: stage with all those guys around? Is it? Do you

857
00:36:11,480 --> 00:36:13,600
Speaker 1: think you'll find it hard to just kind of focus

858
00:36:13,640 --> 00:36:15,719
Speaker 1: on you doing your job or you kind of peek

859
00:36:15,760 --> 00:36:18,800
Speaker 1: over and look at what everyone else is doing as well. Um,

860
00:36:18,840 --> 00:36:21,520
Speaker 1: I don't know. I think I think you know, different

861
00:36:21,560 --> 00:36:24,799
Speaker 1: guys handle it different ways. Um. You know, personally, when

862
00:36:24,800 --> 00:36:26,880
Speaker 1: I'm at my best is when I'm you know, engaged

863
00:36:27,440 --> 00:36:30,560
Speaker 1: and not necessarily only thinking about myself, you know what

864
00:36:30,600 --> 00:36:34,160
Speaker 1: I mean, and and trying to you know, you know,

865
00:36:34,200 --> 00:36:36,360
Speaker 1: get with guys out there and just kind of engage

866
00:36:36,360 --> 00:36:38,719
Speaker 1: with guys and and you know, and that's kind of

867
00:36:38,719 --> 00:36:41,640
Speaker 1: how I I performed best. So I'm excited about it obviously. Yeah,

868
00:36:41,680 --> 00:36:44,160
Speaker 1: it's a big stage, but I got nothing to list,

869
00:36:44,239 --> 00:36:45,960
Speaker 1: you know, I got a couple more for them. I'm

870
00:36:46,000 --> 00:36:48,279
Speaker 1: gonna let you run here. Let's put your scouting hat

871
00:36:48,320 --> 00:36:50,520
Speaker 1: on for a second. Is to scouts you're talking to

872
00:36:51,120 --> 00:36:53,520
Speaker 1: going up against that Clemson front? I mean, just what

873
00:36:53,640 --> 00:36:56,160
Speaker 1: type of a challenge is that? Just preparing for that?

874
00:36:56,560 --> 00:36:58,719
Speaker 1: And then what's it like actually sitting back there with

875
00:36:58,920 --> 00:37:03,600
Speaker 1: with all the live bollets line. Yeah, obviously you know

876
00:37:03,880 --> 00:37:06,800
Speaker 1: Clemson is the best team in the country. Uh, and

877
00:37:07,239 --> 00:37:10,640
Speaker 1: uh they got after us. They're they're a very good defense,

878
00:37:11,239 --> 00:37:14,880
Speaker 1: very well coached too, and um, that D line is

879
00:37:14,880 --> 00:37:17,799
Speaker 1: is pretty awesome. Um, any one stand out above the

880
00:37:17,800 --> 00:37:20,600
Speaker 1: other in that front? I think Wilkins stands out to

881
00:37:20,640 --> 00:37:22,360
Speaker 1: me the most. Just is kind of just me in

882
00:37:22,400 --> 00:37:25,560
Speaker 1: your complete package, athletic, that whole thing. And I've got

883
00:37:25,560 --> 00:37:27,520
Speaker 1: to know him pretty well. He's he's a very cool guy.

884
00:37:27,880 --> 00:37:31,879
Speaker 1: But um, you know, playing them at home especially is

885
00:37:31,880 --> 00:37:34,279
Speaker 1: is challenging because they're they're moving their fronts and they're

886
00:37:34,320 --> 00:37:36,640
Speaker 1: they're all so experienced that they're just doing a lot

887
00:37:36,680 --> 00:37:40,080
Speaker 1: of stuff on top of being great players. So, um,

888
00:37:40,120 --> 00:37:42,399
Speaker 1: you know, we we struggled, you know, to kind of

889
00:37:42,600 --> 00:37:45,680
Speaker 1: identify front and coverage. They do a lot of different

890
00:37:45,719 --> 00:37:49,240
Speaker 1: stuff and covered. So um, they're they're are very good defense.

891
00:37:49,520 --> 00:37:51,879
Speaker 1: And last question, and know that that the guy over

892
00:37:51,920 --> 00:37:53,480
Speaker 1: here has got the answer. If you can't answer, you

893
00:37:53,520 --> 00:37:56,279
Speaker 1: can phone a friend. But I want to test your

894
00:37:56,360 --> 00:37:58,879
Speaker 1: NC State knowledge a little bit here. I'm gonna give

895
00:37:58,880 --> 00:38:01,280
Speaker 1: you a little trivia question and even give me the answer.

896
00:38:02,000 --> 00:38:06,000
Speaker 1: When you hear the term fire and ice, what what

897
00:38:06,040 --> 00:38:08,840
Speaker 1: does that mean in regards to NC State? Fire and

898
00:38:09,000 --> 00:38:11,400
Speaker 1: fire and ice? Fire and ice, It's like it's going

899
00:38:11,440 --> 00:38:15,839
Speaker 1: to if you don't know this, So I have no

900
00:38:15,920 --> 00:38:18,520
Speaker 1: idea what this. But let me let me tell you a

901
00:38:18,480 --> 00:38:22,279
Speaker 1: a little backstory. We have this walk on quarterback and

902
00:38:22,400 --> 00:38:24,880
Speaker 1: he wears this polo that says fire and ice on it,

903
00:38:25,400 --> 00:38:27,440
Speaker 1: and I've asked him before, like, bro, what does that

904
00:38:27,480 --> 00:38:30,800
Speaker 1: even mean? And he literally he won't give me an answer.

905
00:38:30,840 --> 00:38:33,080
Speaker 1: So this is his fault. Okay, so we're gonna literally

906
00:38:33,080 --> 00:38:35,040
Speaker 1: his fault because he's like, I don't know, it was

907
00:38:35,080 --> 00:38:37,080
Speaker 1: just my dad's closet. I'm like, what, it's like a

908
00:38:37,120 --> 00:38:40,719
Speaker 1: real nice like jacket type deal. To my defense, I've

909
00:38:40,760 --> 00:38:43,520
Speaker 1: asked him three times. I can't wait to talk to it.

910
00:38:43,600 --> 00:38:45,919
Speaker 1: I can't. We're gonna get the answer right now, go ahead.

911
00:38:45,920 --> 00:38:48,600
Speaker 1: And so so Fir and Ice at State is all

912
00:38:48,600 --> 00:38:52,560
Speaker 1: about Chris Cortiani and Ridy Monroe. They're basketball sellers. So

913
00:38:52,640 --> 00:38:57,560
Speaker 1: back in the late late eighties early not just like

914
00:38:58,960 --> 00:39:01,279
Speaker 1: was like one of the shooters and Courtianity was the

915
00:39:01,320 --> 00:39:03,879
Speaker 1: point guard, and so they called their backcourt fire nice.

916
00:39:04,160 --> 00:39:06,640
Speaker 1: And when they used to play the old before the RBCs,

917
00:39:06,680 --> 00:39:09,000
Speaker 1: and it used to play at Reynolds, like those dudes

918
00:39:09,080 --> 00:39:10,880
Speaker 1: used to light it up in that little thing that

919
00:39:11,040 --> 00:39:14,000
Speaker 1: y'all lighted with the little howling or whatever, like that

920
00:39:14,120 --> 00:39:16,400
Speaker 1: little thing like they would hit threes and audited other

921
00:39:16,400 --> 00:39:18,919
Speaker 1: stuff and it would go crazy. So that's where I can't.

922
00:39:19,000 --> 00:39:21,279
Speaker 1: I can't remember. So I was a kid like this

923
00:39:21,320 --> 00:39:23,840
Speaker 1: had to be like late eighties going to a restaurant

924
00:39:23,840 --> 00:39:26,279
Speaker 1: in Raleigh and my dad. My dad was speaking in

925
00:39:26,280 --> 00:39:27,800
Speaker 1: the area or something. We're in in a restaurant. It

926
00:39:27,840 --> 00:39:30,040
Speaker 1: was like a sports bar, and the whole wall it

927
00:39:30,120 --> 00:39:33,440
Speaker 1: said Fire and Ice and it was Monroe on the

928
00:39:33,440 --> 00:39:37,920
Speaker 1: whole the whole mural. Haven't haven't grown up in but

929
00:39:38,000 --> 00:39:42,719
Speaker 1: being Ontario having to watch all of that silliness. Yeah,

930
00:39:43,680 --> 00:39:45,560
Speaker 1: if you would answer that question when I'd asked him

931
00:39:45,560 --> 00:39:47,960
Speaker 1: out of none, Okay, you put it all on him.

932
00:39:48,080 --> 00:39:51,560
Speaker 1: It's all his bad. I'm literally blaming him. I'm taking no.

933
00:39:52,719 --> 00:39:54,200
Speaker 1: You need to get in touch with him, text him

934
00:39:54,239 --> 00:39:56,600
Speaker 1: during the week. And I'm not the comment because we're

935
00:39:56,600 --> 00:39:58,200
Speaker 1: gonna we're gonna be here all week calling the game.

936
00:39:58,280 --> 00:40:00,200
Speaker 1: So so I need an answer it once you, once

937
00:40:00,239 --> 00:40:07,399
Speaker 1: you come back, fire night, there's your education. Appreciate, So buck,

938
00:40:07,440 --> 00:40:09,319
Speaker 1: Fire and Ice. I'm just trying to educate people. That's

939
00:40:09,320 --> 00:40:11,360
Speaker 1: all I'm trying to do, trying to help out. I

940
00:40:11,400 --> 00:40:12,959
Speaker 1: get a way to dig in the pass and bring

941
00:40:12,960 --> 00:40:15,200
Speaker 1: out I knew you'd have it. I knew you and

942
00:40:15,280 --> 00:40:19,160
Speaker 1: I had that reference those guys shooting bombs from seventeen

943
00:40:19,200 --> 00:40:21,919
Speaker 1: feet when that was the three point line. Um, look,

944
00:40:22,040 --> 00:40:24,719
Speaker 1: Ryan Finley is someone that is intriguing because depending on

945
00:40:24,719 --> 00:40:29,120
Speaker 1: how your offense is orchestrated, he could certainly be a

946
00:40:29,120 --> 00:40:30,640
Speaker 1: guy that is kind of like what I call a

947
00:40:30,719 --> 00:40:32,920
Speaker 1: contact hitter. He's not gonna hit the home runs, he's

948
00:40:32,920 --> 00:40:34,920
Speaker 1: not gonna push it necessarily down the field. But in

949
00:40:35,000 --> 00:40:38,000
Speaker 1: terms of as you say, death bamillion paper cuts, he

950
00:40:38,040 --> 00:40:40,080
Speaker 1: can play in an offense like that. And so if

951
00:40:40,160 --> 00:40:42,719
Speaker 1: if surrounded by the right weapons, We've seen he's a

952
00:40:42,760 --> 00:40:44,879
Speaker 1: guy that can win games because the NC State they

953
00:40:44,880 --> 00:40:46,200
Speaker 1: had weapons around and the one a lot of games

954
00:40:46,239 --> 00:40:47,920
Speaker 1: when he was a quarterback. No question, this is a

955
00:40:47,920 --> 00:40:50,480
Speaker 1: big week for him. That's a big game. Another big

956
00:40:50,520 --> 00:40:52,799
Speaker 1: game coming up is the Super Bowl. Buck. You can
