1
00:00:00,840 --> 00:00:06,200
Speaker 1: And now move the sticks with Daniel, Jeremiah and Bucky Brooks.

2
00:00:06,920 --> 00:00:09,240
Speaker 1: What's up, everybody walking to move the sticks? DJ? Bucky

3
00:00:09,400 --> 00:00:12,800
Speaker 1: back with you and Buck? First of all, how much

4
00:00:13,200 --> 00:00:15,960
Speaker 1: more fun is it to have these conversations and these

5
00:00:16,040 --> 00:00:18,799
Speaker 1: chats when there's actually cleats in the grass. This is

6
00:00:18,840 --> 00:00:20,919
Speaker 1: the fun part, right, So now we're not making up

7
00:00:20,960 --> 00:00:24,040
Speaker 1: storylines like, we're actually having real storylines, real things to

8
00:00:24,079 --> 00:00:28,640
Speaker 1: talk about. And when everybody back in camp, we're actually

9
00:00:28,640 --> 00:00:31,639
Speaker 1: beginning to talk about football and how things are beginning

10
00:00:31,640 --> 00:00:33,400
Speaker 1: to kind of shake out. And so this is the

11
00:00:33,440 --> 00:00:38,040
Speaker 1: fun part to me, is that the speculation now becomes

12
00:00:38,040 --> 00:00:40,159
Speaker 1: a realization of what is about to come. And so

13
00:00:40,200 --> 00:00:42,600
Speaker 1: I think we love this part of the deal because

14
00:00:42,640 --> 00:00:45,440
Speaker 1: we're I mean, we're week away, we're lest thing. I mean,

15
00:00:45,479 --> 00:00:47,440
Speaker 1: we're exactly a week away from the Hall of Fame game.

16
00:00:47,760 --> 00:00:50,919
Speaker 1: So it isn't that crazy you're going that sneaks up

17
00:00:50,920 --> 00:00:53,280
Speaker 1: on me every year when that game comes on, I'm like, WHOA,

18
00:00:53,320 --> 00:00:55,840
Speaker 1: what I forgot about that? That's already here. Um, that's

19
00:00:55,840 --> 00:00:57,840
Speaker 1: gonna be fun right around the corner today. By the way,

20
00:00:57,880 --> 00:00:59,920
Speaker 1: we're gonna kind of piggyback off what we did in

21
00:01:00,080 --> 00:01:03,400
Speaker 1: last episode. Last episode, we did thirty two rookies. We

22
00:01:03,440 --> 00:01:05,760
Speaker 1: had our eyes on one for each team. Today we're

23
00:01:05,760 --> 00:01:07,560
Speaker 1: gonna let's go to the sophomore class. We're gonna look

24
00:01:07,560 --> 00:01:10,160
Speaker 1: at one second year player from each team that we're

25
00:01:10,160 --> 00:01:12,280
Speaker 1: excited to follow as we get into the season here

26
00:01:12,280 --> 00:01:14,440
Speaker 1: and follow these guys during training camp before we get

27
00:01:14,480 --> 00:01:16,319
Speaker 1: to all that stuff. Though, I feel like at the

28
00:01:16,360 --> 00:01:18,760
Speaker 1: top of every show we just talked packers, um, but

29
00:01:18,880 --> 00:01:20,759
Speaker 1: I think it needs to be talked about. Here, your

30
00:01:20,880 --> 00:01:25,720
Speaker 1: your your takeaways from what you saw yesterday. You already laughed.

31
00:01:25,720 --> 00:01:28,839
Speaker 1: I'm just so I'm just so frustrated, like by all

32
00:01:28,880 --> 00:01:31,480
Speaker 1: of it, right, And I think on our side, the

33
00:01:31,520 --> 00:01:34,119
Speaker 1: media side of it, like we reported one way Aaron

34
00:01:34,200 --> 00:01:37,280
Speaker 1: Rodgers won all these things because of the concessions and

35
00:01:37,319 --> 00:01:39,959
Speaker 1: the other stuff. But the team builder and me and

36
00:01:40,240 --> 00:01:44,320
Speaker 1: us is like, was it all worth it? Like what

37
00:01:44,319 --> 00:01:48,360
Speaker 1: what ultimately was gained by all of this? And then

38
00:01:48,360 --> 00:01:50,160
Speaker 1: the other thing that I worried about is not only

39
00:01:50,200 --> 00:01:52,800
Speaker 1: the Aaron Rodgers situation. Right where he's been away, there's

40
00:01:52,840 --> 00:01:58,440
Speaker 1: been this fracture and um, this discord between your prominent

41
00:01:58,560 --> 00:02:02,760
Speaker 1: A level player and whoever the front office, the team

42
00:02:02,840 --> 00:02:06,320
Speaker 1: and then you have your other A level player, Davante Adams,

43
00:02:06,720 --> 00:02:10,520
Speaker 1: who is campaigning for a contract that would pay him,

44
00:02:10,560 --> 00:02:12,640
Speaker 1: you know, the high e B the highest paid at

45
00:02:12,639 --> 00:02:16,960
Speaker 1: the wide receiver position, deservedly so. So now I wonder

46
00:02:17,040 --> 00:02:19,119
Speaker 1: when you have these two things that have played out

47
00:02:19,120 --> 00:02:21,600
Speaker 1: over the course of the off season, we're now in

48
00:02:21,639 --> 00:02:25,359
Speaker 1: the room together as a team. You also heard Zadarius

49
00:02:25,400 --> 00:02:27,920
Speaker 1: Smith talk about certain things when it comes to the

50
00:02:27,960 --> 00:02:31,320
Speaker 1: contract cana a team that has so much going on

51
00:02:31,960 --> 00:02:36,080
Speaker 1: kind of outside of the walls, get together and really

52
00:02:36,080 --> 00:02:39,240
Speaker 1: contend for a championship. Because we talked about this thing

53
00:02:39,280 --> 00:02:41,120
Speaker 1: and all the books that we've read and all the

54
00:02:41,200 --> 00:02:44,840
Speaker 1: things when it comes to culture and team and these things.

55
00:02:46,200 --> 00:02:51,240
Speaker 1: Most championship teams, everybody's pulling the ship in the same direction.

56
00:02:51,760 --> 00:02:56,120
Speaker 1: I don't know if everybody is paddling on the same

57
00:02:56,200 --> 00:03:01,079
Speaker 1: rhythm in Green Bay. And that makes it well pessimistic

58
00:03:01,120 --> 00:03:04,520
Speaker 1: that they can actually win a championship based on how

59
00:03:04,680 --> 00:03:07,960
Speaker 1: the season will start with all of these different agendas

60
00:03:08,000 --> 00:03:10,720
Speaker 1: and things that people are having to deal with. Yea,

61
00:03:10,800 --> 00:03:14,040
Speaker 1: it was a fascinating press conference. Um and I did.

62
00:03:14,120 --> 00:03:16,720
Speaker 1: I even tweeted out I think that, uh, you know,

63
00:03:16,800 --> 00:03:19,440
Speaker 1: we all have conversations with people off the record, with

64
00:03:19,520 --> 00:03:23,200
Speaker 1: players and gms and coaches, and it's pretty candidate. This

65
00:03:23,320 --> 00:03:25,720
Speaker 1: felt like with Rogers, it was an off the record

66
00:03:25,760 --> 00:03:28,000
Speaker 1: conversation that wasn't off the record. It was just like

67
00:03:28,120 --> 00:03:31,200
Speaker 1: out there for everybody. He kind of aired all his grievances. Um,

68
00:03:31,400 --> 00:03:34,120
Speaker 1: but there was I was thinking of all these different

69
00:03:34,200 --> 00:03:36,240
Speaker 1: teams when I was listening to him talk. So I

70
00:03:36,280 --> 00:03:39,080
Speaker 1: want to get your reaction on this book, because the

71
00:03:39,400 --> 00:03:42,520
Speaker 1: first thing I thought of was that social media posts

72
00:03:42,600 --> 00:03:45,440
Speaker 1: of that him and Davante did of the of the Bulls,

73
00:03:45,760 --> 00:03:48,120
Speaker 1: which is the last dance, which anybody to watch that

74
00:03:48,200 --> 00:03:51,400
Speaker 1: documentary knows that was the friction between the players and

75
00:03:51,440 --> 00:03:53,320
Speaker 1: the court in the front office with Jerry Krauss. They

76
00:03:53,360 --> 00:03:55,760
Speaker 1: did not respect Jerry Krauss. They didn't like Jerry Kraus.

77
00:03:55,760 --> 00:03:58,600
Speaker 1: They didn't agree with what he was doing. Um, even

78
00:03:58,600 --> 00:04:01,040
Speaker 1: though Jerry Krauss had built this team into being a

79
00:04:01,560 --> 00:04:06,120
Speaker 1: you know, multi year NBA champion. So that was plain site.

80
00:04:06,160 --> 00:04:08,720
Speaker 1: That's what he thinks of the situation in Green Bay.

81
00:04:08,800 --> 00:04:10,560
Speaker 1: So the Bulls with the first team I thought of.

82
00:04:10,680 --> 00:04:13,640
Speaker 1: Then I started thinking about it from an NFL standpoint.

83
00:04:14,400 --> 00:04:18,080
Speaker 1: I started thinking about okay, probably, Now you tell me,

84
00:04:18,200 --> 00:04:21,400
Speaker 1: I think the three of inarguably two of them, are

85
00:04:21,400 --> 00:04:24,479
Speaker 1: the two most successful franchises over the last quarter of

86
00:04:24,480 --> 00:04:26,640
Speaker 1: a century. That would be the New England Patriots and

87
00:04:26,640 --> 00:04:30,039
Speaker 1: the Pittsburgh Steelers. Look at what those two organizations have accomplished,

88
00:04:30,240 --> 00:04:32,800
Speaker 1: and I'll throw I work for him. But there are

89
00:04:32,839 --> 00:04:34,800
Speaker 1: a perennial playoff team and I have won two Super

90
00:04:34,800 --> 00:04:38,000
Speaker 1: Bowls as well. That's the Baltimore Ravens. Those three, probably,

91
00:04:38,560 --> 00:04:40,720
Speaker 1: I think you would agree three probably the three most

92
00:04:40,760 --> 00:04:44,200
Speaker 1: respected or three of the most respected franchise in sports,

93
00:04:44,200 --> 00:04:47,279
Speaker 1: not just in football. And I think about Tom Brady,

94
00:04:47,279 --> 00:04:50,120
Speaker 1: and I think about his cast, his supporting cast. Year

95
00:04:50,200 --> 00:04:53,880
Speaker 1: after year, guys go on leaving, good guys, good teammates,

96
00:04:53,880 --> 00:04:56,839
Speaker 1: productive players in their prime. Um. You know, you can

97
00:04:56,880 --> 00:04:59,320
Speaker 1: go all the way through that list of guys ty Law,

98
00:04:59,560 --> 00:05:01,719
Speaker 1: Seymour or you know, all of them that have been

99
00:05:01,760 --> 00:05:04,520
Speaker 1: allowed to leave. And Tom Brady didn't really saying that.

100
00:05:04,600 --> 00:05:06,320
Speaker 1: He I know he was frustrated. I'm sure he was,

101
00:05:06,400 --> 00:05:10,800
Speaker 1: but didn't really voice his frustrations. Played for less money, um,

102
00:05:11,040 --> 00:05:12,760
Speaker 1: played with all these new players every year and went

103
00:05:12,760 --> 00:05:16,080
Speaker 1: out one six Super Bowls. Then you look at Ben Roethlisberger.

104
00:05:16,800 --> 00:05:19,440
Speaker 1: People forget about the fact that they that's been a

105
00:05:19,480 --> 00:05:23,040
Speaker 1: cycle wide receiver through factory. Here there's guys, all of them.

106
00:05:23,040 --> 00:05:25,039
Speaker 1: They play well, they're gone. They play well, they're gone.

107
00:05:25,040 --> 00:05:27,640
Speaker 1: The next guy steps up, he's cheaper. They believe in

108
00:05:27,680 --> 00:05:30,520
Speaker 1: their process and they never skip a beat. Levian Bell

109
00:05:30,600 --> 00:05:32,600
Speaker 1: prime of his career. You know what, We're not going

110
00:05:32,640 --> 00:05:34,080
Speaker 1: to pay him for what he's going to do. We're

111
00:05:34,080 --> 00:05:35,880
Speaker 1: paying him. You know we're gonna We're not We're gonna

112
00:05:35,880 --> 00:05:37,359
Speaker 1: pay him for what he's going to do, not for

113
00:05:37,400 --> 00:05:40,600
Speaker 1: what he's done. That's how you smartly manage a franchise.

114
00:05:40,640 --> 00:05:42,600
Speaker 1: You don't. You don't give you rewards for what you've

115
00:05:42,640 --> 00:05:44,880
Speaker 1: done in the past. You're getting paid for what value

116
00:05:44,880 --> 00:05:46,880
Speaker 1: we're going to get for you in the future. Um.

117
00:05:46,960 --> 00:05:49,120
Speaker 1: And then you look at the Baltimore Ravens. There's a

118
00:05:49,120 --> 00:05:52,160
Speaker 1: reason the Ravens have four compics every year. It's because

119
00:05:52,200 --> 00:05:55,320
Speaker 1: they let guys walk, because they believe that they can

120
00:05:55,520 --> 00:05:59,840
Speaker 1: get young athletic players to replace older players that's been there.

121
00:06:00,200 --> 00:06:03,040
Speaker 1: That's how the NFL works. Now the NBA is totally different.

122
00:06:03,279 --> 00:06:06,080
Speaker 1: The players have more power, they have more control, They

123
00:06:06,080 --> 00:06:08,039
Speaker 1: can choose where they go, they can help choose who

124
00:06:08,040 --> 00:06:11,600
Speaker 1: comes in. The NFL is not like that. The only

125
00:06:11,640 --> 00:06:15,000
Speaker 1: one that's been like that at all was last year

126
00:06:15,880 --> 00:06:18,200
Speaker 1: with Brady and Tampa. He they allowed him to bring

127
00:06:18,200 --> 00:06:20,080
Speaker 1: in a lot of his guys and they won a championship.

128
00:06:20,080 --> 00:06:21,880
Speaker 1: But I'm telling you that is the outlier. That is

129
00:06:21,920 --> 00:06:24,440
Speaker 1: not the way this league has been run. Okay, so

130
00:06:24,520 --> 00:06:27,520
Speaker 1: even thinking about that, see, because the thing that bothers

131
00:06:27,560 --> 00:06:30,080
Speaker 1: me about the comparison that people have tried to make

132
00:06:30,160 --> 00:06:33,800
Speaker 1: with Aaron Rodgers and Tom Brady. Okay, so who did

133
00:06:33,960 --> 00:06:37,320
Speaker 1: Tom Brady really bring in? He brought in Antonio Brown,

134
00:06:37,720 --> 00:06:41,159
Speaker 1: he brought in Gronk, and then people that have tagged

135
00:06:41,360 --> 00:06:45,719
Speaker 1: Leonard for nett DJ What kind of real contributions did

136
00:06:45,760 --> 00:06:47,599
Speaker 1: any of those guys really make to a team that

137
00:06:47,720 --> 00:06:50,719
Speaker 1: was already pretty much homegrown and built when he got there.

138
00:06:51,040 --> 00:06:54,560
Speaker 1: None of those dudes made a very significant impact. They

139
00:06:54,600 --> 00:06:59,360
Speaker 1: had flash moments and mean but in defense, two touchdowns

140
00:06:59,400 --> 00:07:02,160
Speaker 1: and the Super Bowl and Angelo Brown cast the touchdowns

141
00:07:02,240 --> 00:07:05,560
Speaker 1: later in the year. But right, but the team, it

142
00:07:05,640 --> 00:07:08,560
Speaker 1: was basically the team that they built, developed, They got it,

143
00:07:08,600 --> 00:07:11,440
Speaker 1: They got it right. Tom Brady dropped in there to

144
00:07:12,000 --> 00:07:14,000
Speaker 1: ing them the icing on the cake, but the cake

145
00:07:14,120 --> 00:07:17,960
Speaker 1: was already baked. My frustration when it comes to a

146
00:07:18,280 --> 00:07:21,760
Speaker 1: Rodgers and the pieces or what it is that he

147
00:07:21,840 --> 00:07:24,160
Speaker 1: wants is I'm looking at this team, and this team

148
00:07:24,200 --> 00:07:26,760
Speaker 1: is pretty good. Right when he won the MVP, they

149
00:07:26,760 --> 00:07:30,720
Speaker 1: were thirteen and three. When he didn't play great, they

150
00:07:30,720 --> 00:07:34,080
Speaker 1: were thirteen and three. So the team is there to win.

151
00:07:34,560 --> 00:07:38,480
Speaker 1: At what point, though, do we hold him accountable for

152
00:07:38,600 --> 00:07:41,520
Speaker 1: not being able to get the team over the top.

153
00:07:41,800 --> 00:07:46,480
Speaker 1: And I know quarterback wins aren't uh an individual stat evidently,

154
00:07:47,120 --> 00:07:50,880
Speaker 1: but he's won in four in championship games, and I

155
00:07:50,920 --> 00:07:53,840
Speaker 1: would like to think that part of what you do

156
00:07:53,880 --> 00:07:57,200
Speaker 1: when you have a superstar, particularly a quarterback, man, if

157
00:07:57,240 --> 00:07:59,920
Speaker 1: we can get you to this point, you gotta take us,

158
00:08:00,000 --> 00:08:03,160
Speaker 1: you gotta carry us once we get there. That that is,

159
00:08:03,600 --> 00:08:06,679
Speaker 1: that is the expectation. We get you to this point.

160
00:08:06,760 --> 00:08:10,240
Speaker 1: In these win or go home games, you have to

161
00:08:10,320 --> 00:08:12,360
Speaker 1: make sure that we are not the team that's going home.

162
00:08:12,760 --> 00:08:15,440
Speaker 1: And so at some point I want more accountability and

163
00:08:15,480 --> 00:08:19,720
Speaker 1: responsibility placed on Aaron Rodgers for their shortcomings. And I

164
00:08:19,760 --> 00:08:22,200
Speaker 1: think we wiped it away too offer oh he didn't

165
00:08:22,240 --> 00:08:24,680
Speaker 1: have this, he didn't have that, or whatever. But man

166
00:08:25,800 --> 00:08:29,040
Speaker 1: if he is really the best at the position and

167
00:08:29,080 --> 00:08:31,600
Speaker 1: the best in the league, and some of these fifty

168
00:08:31,680 --> 00:08:34,440
Speaker 1: fifty games he has to win and win it like

169
00:08:34,640 --> 00:08:37,320
Speaker 1: the high stakes moments. He has to be able to

170
00:08:37,360 --> 00:08:41,120
Speaker 1: win these games. Yeah, and gosh, it was. It was

171
00:08:41,160 --> 00:08:42,640
Speaker 1: striking when you go back and listen to it. I

172
00:08:42,720 --> 00:08:44,520
Speaker 1: think he mentioned the fact that he'd won two m

173
00:08:44,600 --> 00:08:48,600
Speaker 1: vps four or five times in there, talked about his

174
00:08:48,679 --> 00:08:50,160
Speaker 1: m vps m v P s. I'm like, I don't

175
00:08:50,200 --> 00:08:52,199
Speaker 1: ever hear some of those great ones talk about m

176
00:08:52,240 --> 00:08:54,440
Speaker 1: vps and talk about titles like they don't. They just

177
00:08:54,480 --> 00:08:57,080
Speaker 1: don't talk like that. Um. Anyways, I thought that was

178
00:08:57,200 --> 00:09:00,040
Speaker 1: that was fascinating. All of it was annoying to me

179
00:09:00,160 --> 00:09:03,720
Speaker 1: when you think about, like the Ultimate Winners, The Ultimate

180
00:09:03,760 --> 00:09:07,360
Speaker 1: Winners a deferential right, like it's less about it's more

181
00:09:07,440 --> 00:09:10,480
Speaker 1: we than me. It's always the us and we and

182
00:09:10,559 --> 00:09:13,080
Speaker 1: the team in this. And even though he talked about

183
00:09:13,840 --> 00:09:16,400
Speaker 1: those guys that he said he wished they stayed for

184
00:09:16,400 --> 00:09:19,400
Speaker 1: the culture of the program, he didn't reflect the culture

185
00:09:19,920 --> 00:09:22,960
Speaker 1: that he actually feels like he wants to be a

186
00:09:23,000 --> 00:09:25,480
Speaker 1: part of. Because if that was the case, he certainly

187
00:09:25,480 --> 00:09:28,640
Speaker 1: wouldn't have put Jordan's love and the team in this

188
00:09:28,840 --> 00:09:32,079
Speaker 1: bind because that was very much a me thing, not

189
00:09:32,240 --> 00:09:34,280
Speaker 1: a we thing. They would have handled this behind closed doors.

190
00:09:34,320 --> 00:09:36,280
Speaker 1: They would have done that, and it wouldn't have been

191
00:09:36,320 --> 00:09:39,120
Speaker 1: the spectacle that has been the entire offseason. Here's the

192
00:09:39,200 --> 00:09:42,320
Speaker 1: other thing that I thought was contradictory, right, So it

193
00:09:42,440 --> 00:09:45,800
Speaker 1: was he was talking about wanting to have influence and

194
00:09:45,840 --> 00:09:50,120
Speaker 1: an impact on who stays and who they bring in, right,

195
00:09:50,200 --> 00:09:52,640
Speaker 1: So roster construction. He wants more of a voice and

196
00:09:52,720 --> 00:09:57,120
Speaker 1: roster construction. So that was the first complaint. And then

197
00:09:57,920 --> 00:10:00,360
Speaker 1: later on somebody asked him, do you want to be

198
00:10:00,400 --> 00:10:03,880
Speaker 1: here and he said, yes, I want to be here

199
00:10:03,960 --> 00:10:06,080
Speaker 1: because I believe we have a chance to win a

200
00:10:06,120 --> 00:10:09,280
Speaker 1: Super Bowl this year. We have a super Bowl caliber team.

201
00:10:09,320 --> 00:10:11,199
Speaker 1: So I'm sitting here and going, well, on one hand,

202
00:10:11,520 --> 00:10:15,160
Speaker 1: you're telling me you know better than the personnel department

203
00:10:15,280 --> 00:10:17,800
Speaker 1: on how to build a team. On the other hand,

204
00:10:17,840 --> 00:10:19,800
Speaker 1: you're telling me this team is loaded with talent and

205
00:10:19,840 --> 00:10:21,800
Speaker 1: they're ready to win a Super Bowl. So which one

206
00:10:21,920 --> 00:10:26,160
Speaker 1: is it? Right? And that's the thing that's frustrating, right,

207
00:10:26,440 --> 00:10:29,040
Speaker 1: because my other thing is this, Okay, it's one thing

208
00:10:29,080 --> 00:10:31,120
Speaker 1: to be the suggestion box is the other thing to

209
00:10:31,160 --> 00:10:34,320
Speaker 1: be the decision maker. So now if Aaron Rodgers is

210
00:10:34,960 --> 00:10:38,240
Speaker 1: delving into the decision making role, are we going to

211
00:10:38,320 --> 00:10:40,960
Speaker 1: hold him more responsible for the shortcoming is if they

212
00:10:41,040 --> 00:10:43,840
Speaker 1: bring in his guys, because if you're asking for more

213
00:10:43,840 --> 00:10:47,760
Speaker 1: of this, then you can't shirk your responsibility when it

214
00:10:47,800 --> 00:10:50,520
Speaker 1: comes out to Hey man, ultimately this is on you.

215
00:10:50,520 --> 00:10:53,559
Speaker 1: You want more, then you get it. How many how

216
00:10:53,559 --> 00:10:57,080
Speaker 1: many kids have you talked to drive? Buck? Just one?

217
00:10:57,160 --> 00:11:01,640
Speaker 1: And it's been it's hard hardy there. You know how

218
00:11:01,640 --> 00:11:03,800
Speaker 1: when you're teaching somebody to drive and you're gonna give

219
00:11:03,840 --> 00:11:05,040
Speaker 1: him a little bit of power, in a little bit

220
00:11:05,040 --> 00:11:06,880
Speaker 1: of control, you know, you go to a school parking

221
00:11:06,920 --> 00:11:09,439
Speaker 1: lot or you go to a stadium parking lot, and

222
00:11:09,480 --> 00:11:11,760
Speaker 1: he said, okay, let's just drive around the cone. Like

223
00:11:11,880 --> 00:11:15,120
Speaker 1: the packers have said, you're not taking this you're not

224
00:11:15,160 --> 00:11:17,120
Speaker 1: taking this car out on the freeway. But I'll tell

225
00:11:17,160 --> 00:11:19,520
Speaker 1: you what you want. Randall Cobb like, that's the chip

226
00:11:19,600 --> 00:11:21,600
Speaker 1: you want. We'll go to this parking lot a little

227
00:11:21,640 --> 00:11:23,760
Speaker 1: bit and see if you can avoid hitting hit hitting

228
00:11:23,760 --> 00:11:27,000
Speaker 1: the hitting the wall. And that's basically what they've done

229
00:11:27,000 --> 00:11:29,200
Speaker 1: is said, like, okay, you want to prove yourself, here's

230
00:11:29,200 --> 00:11:32,080
Speaker 1: your big acquisition. I've never seen the team trade for

231
00:11:32,160 --> 00:11:35,040
Speaker 1: somebody yet distance themselves from them. They're like, hey, this

232
00:11:35,120 --> 00:11:38,440
Speaker 1: is all Aaron. Zaron's guy. Aaron wants him, he wants

233
00:11:38,440 --> 00:11:41,440
Speaker 1: to play GM. So we'll see how it goes. We'll

234
00:11:41,480 --> 00:11:43,800
Speaker 1: see how it goes. And there there has to be

235
00:11:43,840 --> 00:11:46,560
Speaker 1: a level of frustration within the build up because this

236
00:11:46,600 --> 00:11:49,520
Speaker 1: has dominated the headlines. It was a big story on

237
00:11:49,640 --> 00:11:52,720
Speaker 1: Draft night, and then it's just dominated the offseason stuff.

238
00:11:53,040 --> 00:11:55,240
Speaker 1: So rather than doing the things that you normally do

239
00:11:55,320 --> 00:11:58,640
Speaker 1: when it comes to building your team, you're having to

240
00:11:58,760 --> 00:12:02,000
Speaker 1: constantly ask these questions. And I would say it's not

241
00:12:02,040 --> 00:12:04,520
Speaker 1: only unfair to like the players that it did, but

242
00:12:04,520 --> 00:12:06,320
Speaker 1: it was unfair to Matt la floor because Matt la

243
00:12:06,320 --> 00:12:08,800
Speaker 1: Fleur is having to play defense, all the things that

244
00:12:08,880 --> 00:12:12,239
Speaker 1: you typically would do as a coach, a man competition

245
00:12:12,280 --> 00:12:15,319
Speaker 1: with developing everybody, next man up, be ready to play.

246
00:12:15,559 --> 00:12:19,680
Speaker 1: He is having the pause those conversations because he can't

247
00:12:19,679 --> 00:12:22,679
Speaker 1: offend Aaron Rodgers if he says, hey, look, joy Love,

248
00:12:22,760 --> 00:12:24,240
Speaker 1: he's gonna be ready to play. And when he when

249
00:12:24,240 --> 00:12:26,880
Speaker 1: he has this opportunity to play, he's gonna play. Well,

250
00:12:26,960 --> 00:12:30,720
Speaker 1: he couldn't throw confidence behind the young quarterback for fear

251
00:12:30,840 --> 00:12:35,720
Speaker 1: of alienating himself with the other quarterback. It just makes

252
00:12:35,720 --> 00:12:38,400
Speaker 1: it hard to build out the team for the long

253
00:12:38,520 --> 00:12:40,880
Speaker 1: term when you're having to appease a guy who is

254
00:12:40,920 --> 00:12:44,480
Speaker 1: obviously very, very sensitive in nature. So here here's the thing.

255
00:12:44,559 --> 00:12:46,360
Speaker 1: I would say, we gotta look at it from all sides.

256
00:12:46,400 --> 00:12:49,360
Speaker 1: So I would place this this blame on Goody and

257
00:12:49,520 --> 00:12:52,760
Speaker 1: the personnel department. And I think he's even admitted as such.

258
00:12:53,120 --> 00:12:56,880
Speaker 1: Community communication could have been better. And we've talked about

259
00:12:56,920 --> 00:12:59,679
Speaker 1: this before, but the draft stuff, it wasn't that they

260
00:12:59,679 --> 00:13:01,599
Speaker 1: took would love. They just needed to give him a

261
00:13:01,600 --> 00:13:03,520
Speaker 1: little bit of a runway to kind of be okay

262
00:13:03,559 --> 00:13:05,560
Speaker 1: with that. In other words, you just say hey, And

263
00:13:05,640 --> 00:13:08,120
Speaker 1: I said a month ahead of time, because people were like, well,

264
00:13:08,200 --> 00:13:10,520
Speaker 1: you can't tell Aaron Rodgers because then people will trade

265
00:13:10,520 --> 00:13:12,400
Speaker 1: in front of you and blah blah blah, or you know,

266
00:13:12,679 --> 00:13:14,520
Speaker 1: you have to wait till you're on the clock, and

267
00:13:14,520 --> 00:13:16,319
Speaker 1: then I'm like, no, no no, no, that that's not how

268
00:13:16,360 --> 00:13:18,600
Speaker 1: this works. All it is is a month before the draft,

269
00:13:19,000 --> 00:13:21,400
Speaker 1: you just tell Aaron, Hey, I don't know that this

270
00:13:21,480 --> 00:13:24,920
Speaker 1: is likely, but you know you're playing great. We love you.

271
00:13:24,920 --> 00:13:27,360
Speaker 1: You know, we believe in you, but when we have

272
00:13:27,400 --> 00:13:29,400
Speaker 1: to look out for the long term future. So we

273
00:13:29,480 --> 00:13:31,800
Speaker 1: have there's one or two quarterbacks we really like in

274
00:13:31,800 --> 00:13:34,520
Speaker 1: this draft. I don't know that they'll be there, doesn't

275
00:13:34,520 --> 00:13:36,520
Speaker 1: look like they would be there. But if for some reason,

276
00:13:37,120 --> 00:13:39,160
Speaker 1: one of those guys were to be there, like, there's

277
00:13:39,160 --> 00:13:41,200
Speaker 1: a potential that we could take one. So I don't

278
00:13:41,200 --> 00:13:43,080
Speaker 1: want you to be blindsided if we took a quarterback.

279
00:13:43,200 --> 00:13:45,520
Speaker 1: We're doing our homework on these guys. It's a possibility,

280
00:13:45,559 --> 00:13:47,800
Speaker 1: that's all I'm telling you. It's a possibility. Then when

281
00:13:47,840 --> 00:13:49,960
Speaker 1: you pick him, he can't claim that he never you know,

282
00:13:50,000 --> 00:13:52,800
Speaker 1: he's blindsided by this and never never thought about it. Yeah,

283
00:13:52,800 --> 00:13:55,760
Speaker 1: I like it. It is just being upfront, really transparent

284
00:13:55,760 --> 00:13:58,400
Speaker 1: in the communication when it came to him, like, hey, here,

285
00:13:58,400 --> 00:14:00,640
Speaker 1: here's here's what's going on, here's what we're thinking. We

286
00:14:00,720 --> 00:14:02,680
Speaker 1: do like you. Even though if you go back and

287
00:14:02,720 --> 00:14:04,520
Speaker 1: study how he was playing, like there were some dips

288
00:14:04,520 --> 00:14:06,920
Speaker 1: intw he wasn't, you know, he wasn't the m v

289
00:14:07,000 --> 00:14:09,640
Speaker 1: P coming into that draft. He wasn't. And the reason

290
00:14:09,640 --> 00:14:11,439
Speaker 1: why they pulled the trickers because you just didn't know

291
00:14:11,480 --> 00:14:13,559
Speaker 1: if he was on the down just look at the

292
00:14:13,600 --> 00:14:17,319
Speaker 1: completion percentage. Passer rating was dipping in three years prior

293
00:14:17,400 --> 00:14:19,240
Speaker 1: to him playing at the m v P level. They

294
00:14:19,280 --> 00:14:22,680
Speaker 1: get him. And also remember this, there was a little

295
00:14:22,720 --> 00:14:24,600
Speaker 1: bit of the in fighting between him and the Floor,

296
00:14:24,760 --> 00:14:27,600
Speaker 1: like the structure and the audibles and those things. Now

297
00:14:27,640 --> 00:14:31,360
Speaker 1: when he complied with how Matt la Floor wanted, but

298
00:14:31,520 --> 00:14:34,680
Speaker 1: he played because of the structure. So there's a lot

299
00:14:34,720 --> 00:14:37,280
Speaker 1: of that going. I just wondered for the long term

300
00:14:38,080 --> 00:14:40,880
Speaker 1: success of the Packers, are they going to be able

301
00:14:40,920 --> 00:14:43,880
Speaker 1: to get past this and have the kind of cohesive

302
00:14:43,960 --> 00:14:46,040
Speaker 1: team that you have to have Because I don't care

303
00:14:46,080 --> 00:14:48,360
Speaker 1: what anyone says when he stands in front of the

304
00:14:48,440 --> 00:14:50,920
Speaker 1: room and talks. There have to be some people in

305
00:14:50,960 --> 00:14:53,560
Speaker 1: the back life this guy who hasn't been around, Like

306
00:14:53,600 --> 00:14:55,200
Speaker 1: I guess we're supposed to follow. If I don't follow,

307
00:14:55,240 --> 00:14:57,120
Speaker 1: I'm gonna get cut. Because now he's the guy with

308
00:14:57,160 --> 00:14:59,720
Speaker 1: all the power. Just changes it just changes some of

309
00:14:59,720 --> 00:15:02,200
Speaker 1: the fl links in the locker room. Yeah. Now, again,

310
00:15:02,240 --> 00:15:04,120
Speaker 1: we could talk about this forever. There's so many different

311
00:15:04,160 --> 00:15:06,280
Speaker 1: angles to it. Is it was definitely I mean, would

312
00:15:06,280 --> 00:15:08,720
Speaker 1: you agree that I've never seen a press conference like

313
00:15:08,760 --> 00:15:12,440
Speaker 1: that before? You Oh, just so much. I've never I've

314
00:15:12,480 --> 00:15:15,480
Speaker 1: never seen one, but they they moved beyond it. So

315
00:15:15,560 --> 00:15:18,360
Speaker 1: we'll see, we'll see what it looks like. Okay, let's

316
00:15:18,400 --> 00:15:20,520
Speaker 1: jump in here to these second year players that we're

317
00:15:20,560 --> 00:15:22,680
Speaker 1: looking forward to uh to watch, and here we got

318
00:15:22,720 --> 00:15:24,960
Speaker 1: our eyes on him. Why don't you We'll flip it

319
00:15:25,040 --> 00:15:28,800
Speaker 1: this time I did NFC. Last time you handled the NFC,

320
00:15:28,880 --> 00:15:30,480
Speaker 1: I'll handle the a f C. Will go every other

321
00:15:30,520 --> 00:15:32,000
Speaker 1: division here, Why don't you kick us off with the

322
00:15:32,080 --> 00:15:35,040
Speaker 1: NFC East Buck? Okay, here we go the Dallas Cowboys.

323
00:15:35,080 --> 00:15:36,800
Speaker 1: The guy that I had my eye on for the

324
00:15:36,840 --> 00:15:40,200
Speaker 1: Cowboys is that corner. How about Trayvon Diggs. And the

325
00:15:40,240 --> 00:15:42,760
Speaker 1: reason why there's so much pressure on Diggs is because

326
00:15:42,800 --> 00:15:45,840
Speaker 1: this defense really struggled at an all time level. They

327
00:15:45,840 --> 00:15:49,000
Speaker 1: didn't really add any older players to occupy the CB

328
00:15:49,160 --> 00:15:51,760
Speaker 1: one role, so he has to be the go to guy.

329
00:15:52,080 --> 00:15:53,920
Speaker 1: You have Calvin Joe's you had no shot, right, you

330
00:15:53,960 --> 00:15:57,800
Speaker 1: have Anthony Anthony Brown, but the ball is going to

331
00:15:57,880 --> 00:16:01,320
Speaker 1: go and Trayvon Diggs direction. Can he hold up against

332
00:16:01,360 --> 00:16:04,320
Speaker 1: the premier receivers in that division? That's where I got

333
00:16:04,320 --> 00:16:08,080
Speaker 1: my eye on him. Yeah, the size, physicality, ball skills,

334
00:16:08,120 --> 00:16:10,600
Speaker 1: all that's there. Um gotta stay healthy, and I think

335
00:16:10,600 --> 00:16:13,200
Speaker 1: he does fit with d q's system there. I think

336
00:16:13,200 --> 00:16:14,640
Speaker 1: he's kind of he kind of looks like one of

337
00:16:14,680 --> 00:16:17,000
Speaker 1: those old school Seattle corners, so I like to fit.

338
00:16:17,000 --> 00:16:18,280
Speaker 1: I think he's got a chance to have a good year.

339
00:16:18,280 --> 00:16:20,360
Speaker 1: All right. How about the Giants, the Giants? How about

340
00:16:20,440 --> 00:16:24,000
Speaker 1: Zevery McKinney. When I think about the Giants and what

341
00:16:24,040 --> 00:16:25,600
Speaker 1: they need to do is they need to continue to

342
00:16:25,600 --> 00:16:27,760
Speaker 1: play great defense, and the best way to play great

343
00:16:27,760 --> 00:16:30,360
Speaker 1: defense to be strong down the middle. Davie McKinney is

344
00:16:30,360 --> 00:16:33,560
Speaker 1: the third level defender that can add a dimension to

345
00:16:33,680 --> 00:16:35,840
Speaker 1: this defense. His ability to come down in the box,

346
00:16:36,080 --> 00:16:38,040
Speaker 1: smack people in the run game, but also makes the

347
00:16:38,080 --> 00:16:40,640
Speaker 1: players in the past game. Joe just needs that that

348
00:16:41,000 --> 00:16:43,520
Speaker 1: enforced in the middle of field. Davie McKinney could be

349
00:16:43,560 --> 00:16:45,840
Speaker 1: that guy this year. He has a lot of interesting

350
00:16:45,880 --> 00:16:48,800
Speaker 1: pieces in that secondary. Bradberry's a stud. They bring in

351
00:16:49,040 --> 00:16:51,280
Speaker 1: uh Dory Jackson to see if they can get him

352
00:16:51,520 --> 00:16:53,600
Speaker 1: to play the high level. The ability has always been there,

353
00:16:53,840 --> 00:16:56,200
Speaker 1: and then you have McKenney back there, um to go

354
00:16:56,280 --> 00:16:59,040
Speaker 1: on with your brill Peppers. It's an interesting group. Um. Shoot,

355
00:16:59,080 --> 00:17:01,800
Speaker 1: they got Logan Ryan there as well. Okay, let's let's

356
00:17:01,840 --> 00:17:03,960
Speaker 1: keep it going with the Eagles. The Eagles, Jalen Hurts,

357
00:17:03,960 --> 00:17:05,840
Speaker 1: all eves on Jalen Hurts. Is Jalen hurt is going

358
00:17:05,880 --> 00:17:08,159
Speaker 1: to be the QB one for the long term. I

359
00:17:08,240 --> 00:17:10,159
Speaker 1: like what he said. I like his attitude. I like

360
00:17:10,200 --> 00:17:12,159
Speaker 1: it he's kind of been locked and loaded on just

361
00:17:12,200 --> 00:17:14,320
Speaker 1: being the best version of himself and not worrying about

362
00:17:14,480 --> 00:17:16,960
Speaker 1: a Is Deshaun Watson gonna be a consideration? Are the

363
00:17:17,000 --> 00:17:19,280
Speaker 1: Eagles loading up to maybe draft one next year? He's

364
00:17:19,320 --> 00:17:21,840
Speaker 1: controlling the part did he control? And I think when

365
00:17:21,880 --> 00:17:25,439
Speaker 1: we've seen him play and when they build an offense

366
00:17:25,560 --> 00:17:27,560
Speaker 1: around him, I think he has an opportunity to play well.

367
00:17:27,840 --> 00:17:30,960
Speaker 1: Huge challenge for him, huge schalleon for Nick Sirianni. But

368
00:17:31,040 --> 00:17:33,000
Speaker 1: I like what I'm hearing from him. Someone the bet

369
00:17:33,000 --> 00:17:34,720
Speaker 1: on the young quarterback. This is one of the things

370
00:17:34,800 --> 00:17:37,040
Speaker 1: I look forward to when you have a new coaching

371
00:17:37,080 --> 00:17:39,240
Speaker 1: staff coming there is what's the identity of this team

372
00:17:39,240 --> 00:17:42,119
Speaker 1: gonna be? I don't know if there is one right now. Um,

373
00:17:42,200 --> 00:17:44,920
Speaker 1: And so with Jalen maybe running the ball a little

374
00:17:44,960 --> 00:17:47,640
Speaker 1: bit more from the quarterback position, do you you kind

375
00:17:47,640 --> 00:17:50,600
Speaker 1: of try and capture that physical identity. I know, as

376
00:17:50,600 --> 00:17:53,160
Speaker 1: we're recording this, it looked like Brandon Brooks was coming

377
00:17:53,160 --> 00:17:55,439
Speaker 1: off the field and Philly and hopefully there's nothing serious.

378
00:17:55,440 --> 00:17:58,119
Speaker 1: They're very talent offensive lineman there, but they've got to

379
00:17:58,160 --> 00:18:01,560
Speaker 1: stay healthy upfront. Okay, uh that is the Eagles. We

380
00:18:01,600 --> 00:18:04,400
Speaker 1: got one more here, Washington Football Team. The Washington football team.

381
00:18:04,400 --> 00:18:06,080
Speaker 1: This is tough because I think Chase Young is going

382
00:18:06,119 --> 00:18:08,159
Speaker 1: to play an All Pro level, But the guy had

383
00:18:08,160 --> 00:18:11,520
Speaker 1: my eyes on his running back, Antonio Gibson. Antonio Gibson

384
00:18:11,560 --> 00:18:13,760
Speaker 1: has an opportunity to be one of those hybrid players

385
00:18:13,960 --> 00:18:17,720
Speaker 1: that we talked about, much like Christian McCaffrey, Alvin Kamar,

386
00:18:17,960 --> 00:18:20,720
Speaker 1: someone who can really do their damage in the passing game.

387
00:18:21,119 --> 00:18:24,800
Speaker 1: Remember he did that hybrid thing in Memphis and was

388
00:18:24,920 --> 00:18:28,119
Speaker 1: a tremendous playmaker. I'm looking for big things from the

389
00:18:28,200 --> 00:18:30,200
Speaker 1: kid with the I was about to say that the

390
00:18:30,800 --> 00:18:33,960
Speaker 1: old nickname, the yeah you did you caught yourself? That's

391
00:18:33,960 --> 00:18:37,280
Speaker 1: good man. That's a big time. Uh. Yeah. I think

392
00:18:37,320 --> 00:18:39,119
Speaker 1: they're you know, they're in a pretty good spot in

393
00:18:39,160 --> 00:18:41,240
Speaker 1: this division. So I'm anxious to see how this offense

394
00:18:41,240 --> 00:18:43,000
Speaker 1: comes together. We know the defense is gonna be rocking

395
00:18:43,000 --> 00:18:46,120
Speaker 1: and rolling. Um, how with fits do all these pieces fit?

396
00:18:46,240 --> 00:18:48,240
Speaker 1: Is gonna be interesting. Okay, let's flip it over a

397
00:18:48,359 --> 00:18:52,199
Speaker 1: FC East and I'll go Buffalo Bills. Um. To me,

398
00:18:52,280 --> 00:18:55,200
Speaker 1: a really intriguing player is Gabriel Davis, um, the wide

399
00:18:55,200 --> 00:18:57,560
Speaker 1: out from Central Florida who did some good things last

400
00:18:57,600 --> 00:19:00,119
Speaker 1: year as a rookie. He gives them some size and

401
00:19:00,160 --> 00:19:03,760
Speaker 1: some physicality. Um, you can see a lot of four

402
00:19:03,800 --> 00:19:07,240
Speaker 1: wide out sets. Saw it last year with with with Buffalo.

403
00:19:07,960 --> 00:19:10,159
Speaker 1: He's gonna force his way onto the field just because

404
00:19:10,160 --> 00:19:13,000
Speaker 1: he gives him something that the other guys don't with

405
00:19:13,080 --> 00:19:15,240
Speaker 1: his size and physicality down the field. So I'm excited

406
00:19:15,240 --> 00:19:17,760
Speaker 1: to see Gave Davis here in your two look man.

407
00:19:17,800 --> 00:19:19,600
Speaker 1: I'm excited to see him because they need to be

408
00:19:19,640 --> 00:19:22,080
Speaker 1: able to find a way to continue to get the

409
00:19:22,119 --> 00:19:24,480
Speaker 1: ball out to the playmakers on the outside. I think

410
00:19:24,520 --> 00:19:27,360
Speaker 1: about what Stefan Dix has been able to do and

411
00:19:27,400 --> 00:19:30,280
Speaker 1: all the things that really helped propel Josh Allen. The

412
00:19:30,400 --> 00:19:34,400
Speaker 1: next level is him exhausting plays. Utilizing all the options

413
00:19:34,600 --> 00:19:37,000
Speaker 1: gave Davis can play a huge role in Josh Allen

414
00:19:37,040 --> 00:19:38,960
Speaker 1: continue to astend to a m v P level. Yeah,

415
00:19:39,000 --> 00:19:40,320
Speaker 1: one of those names when you're kind of going through

416
00:19:40,320 --> 00:19:42,719
Speaker 1: the rosters after a long summer, You're like, all right,

417
00:19:42,720 --> 00:19:45,000
Speaker 1: Emmanuel Sanders is there? I forgot about that one. Um,

418
00:19:45,400 --> 00:19:48,680
Speaker 1: how about that? Yeah, that's a good group there in Buffalo. Okay,

419
00:19:48,720 --> 00:19:51,240
Speaker 1: Miami Dolphins, let's not I mean, let's not reinvent the

420
00:19:51,240 --> 00:19:53,360
Speaker 1: wheel here. It's too I mean all eyes on tour

421
00:19:53,760 --> 00:19:55,360
Speaker 1: look like a training camp. Got off to a little

422
00:19:55,359 --> 00:19:59,240
Speaker 1: bit better start, you know, hopefully for him, he's more

423
00:19:59,280 --> 00:20:03,879
Speaker 1: comfortable the system. Um, he's in a situation there with

424
00:20:03,960 --> 00:20:07,760
Speaker 1: George Gottzi and Eric Studesville is the coordinators where we're

425
00:20:07,800 --> 00:20:09,080
Speaker 1: gonna see a lot of r P O as we've

426
00:20:09,119 --> 00:20:11,080
Speaker 1: been asking for that with TWA, that's where he's at

427
00:20:11,080 --> 00:20:13,760
Speaker 1: his best. That's where he's most comfortable. And I think,

428
00:20:13,800 --> 00:20:17,359
Speaker 1: to me, just of all the young quarterbacks, Buck, it

429
00:20:17,440 --> 00:20:20,679
Speaker 1: feels to me it's it's it's more important that he

430
00:20:20,680 --> 00:20:22,720
Speaker 1: gets off to a good start, you know, just kind

431
00:20:22,720 --> 00:20:24,960
Speaker 1: of get a good taste in your mouth and uh

432
00:20:25,000 --> 00:20:26,840
Speaker 1: and kind of let that confidence start to grow a

433
00:20:26,880 --> 00:20:29,960
Speaker 1: little bit. Yeah, Now that confidence has to really come

434
00:20:30,000 --> 00:20:32,480
Speaker 1: from him. There's a lot of noise on the outside

435
00:20:32,480 --> 00:20:34,880
Speaker 1: about whether two or telling about load can be the guy,

436
00:20:34,880 --> 00:20:37,360
Speaker 1: and I think people forget how I mean, how soon

437
00:20:37,400 --> 00:20:39,320
Speaker 1: they forget it was tanked for Tah. That was a

438
00:20:39,359 --> 00:20:42,720
Speaker 1: conversation about into it. I'm going to bank on him

439
00:20:43,119 --> 00:20:46,000
Speaker 1: finding his rhythm, finding his game. That jump from first

440
00:20:46,080 --> 00:20:48,200
Speaker 1: year the second year we have seen from quarterbacks sometimes

441
00:20:48,240 --> 00:20:51,120
Speaker 1: it can be significant. I think he makes that jump. Yeah,

442
00:20:51,240 --> 00:20:52,919
Speaker 1: he needs again though. I think getting off to a

443
00:20:52,920 --> 00:20:55,480
Speaker 1: hot start will be big for him. Okay, let's go

444
00:20:55,600 --> 00:20:58,680
Speaker 1: to the New England Patriots and Josh ch Uh That's

445
00:20:58,720 --> 00:21:01,280
Speaker 1: who I came up with. Look, he's undersize guy, kind

446
00:21:01,280 --> 00:21:03,159
Speaker 1: of a tweener coming out of Michigan. Remember there's a

447
00:21:03,160 --> 00:21:05,400
Speaker 1: bunch made about the fact his snap counts were low,

448
00:21:06,320 --> 00:21:08,560
Speaker 1: Hardward to not play him as much as he should

449
00:21:08,560 --> 00:21:11,360
Speaker 1: have U there for the wolf rings. But a dynamic,

450
00:21:11,400 --> 00:21:13,800
Speaker 1: explosive player who can play with leverage off the edge.

451
00:21:13,800 --> 00:21:18,480
Speaker 1: Six Um didn't have a ton of production last year, Buck,

452
00:21:18,520 --> 00:21:20,480
Speaker 1: but when you kind of look at the underlying numbers,

453
00:21:20,520 --> 00:21:24,080
Speaker 1: the wind rate as a pass rusher was pretty high. Um.

454
00:21:24,080 --> 00:21:25,600
Speaker 1: I think he's got a chance to develop into a

455
00:21:25,720 --> 00:21:27,520
Speaker 1: into a weapon for them off the edge, just as

456
00:21:27,520 --> 00:21:31,240
Speaker 1: a unique pass rusher. Yeah, unique pass rusher, and they

457
00:21:31,280 --> 00:21:35,199
Speaker 1: need more athleticism, more speed. We've seen them upgrade their defense.

458
00:21:35,200 --> 00:21:37,040
Speaker 1: They brought the veterans back, but you still don't need

459
00:21:37,040 --> 00:21:41,080
Speaker 1: an infusion of athleticism. Who is an urgent athlete. He

460
00:21:41,160 --> 00:21:43,240
Speaker 1: has the explos nous. I love how he can play

461
00:21:43,320 --> 00:21:46,560
Speaker 1: the game at that as at level. They just need

462
00:21:46,600 --> 00:21:49,200
Speaker 1: to get him in the right position so he can

463
00:21:49,240 --> 00:21:51,080
Speaker 1: really tap into all those skills that he brings to

464
00:21:51,119 --> 00:21:53,359
Speaker 1: the table, no doubt. All right, we go to the

465
00:21:53,600 --> 00:21:56,399
Speaker 1: we go to the Jets, and this one. This is

466
00:21:56,400 --> 00:21:58,719
Speaker 1: a player I really like as a player in Denzel Mims,

467
00:21:59,280 --> 00:22:02,640
Speaker 1: but I'm curious to see how he fits in. Um.

468
00:22:02,680 --> 00:22:06,000
Speaker 1: You know, he doesn't really cut the mold of uh.

469
00:22:06,160 --> 00:22:08,439
Speaker 1: You know of the wide receivers that the forty Niners

470
00:22:08,440 --> 00:22:10,520
Speaker 1: have played with, you know, you think about more about

471
00:22:10,640 --> 00:22:14,600
Speaker 1: sudden separators, um, uh, guys that are efficient at the

472
00:22:14,640 --> 00:22:17,480
Speaker 1: top of the route. Denzel Mims is a power forward.

473
00:22:17,560 --> 00:22:19,399
Speaker 1: He's a long strider, but he can go up and

474
00:22:19,400 --> 00:22:21,119
Speaker 1: play above the rim. Made a lot of big plays

475
00:22:21,119 --> 00:22:23,960
Speaker 1: when given opportunities last year. So I believe in the talent.

476
00:22:24,000 --> 00:22:25,680
Speaker 1: I'm curious to see the fit because when you look

477
00:22:25,720 --> 00:22:28,560
Speaker 1: at that group, you know Corey Davis, who is a

478
00:22:28,640 --> 00:22:31,120
Speaker 1: big guy like Mims, but is a little more subtle

479
00:22:31,200 --> 00:22:33,800
Speaker 1: and quick getting that out of breaks, doing those things.

480
00:22:33,359 --> 00:22:36,920
Speaker 1: He's gonna have his role. Jamison Crowder and Elijah More

481
00:22:37,040 --> 00:22:39,439
Speaker 1: kind of competing for time there in the slot. You know,

482
00:22:39,480 --> 00:22:42,040
Speaker 1: two really good football players. And I'm telling you Keelan

483
00:22:42,080 --> 00:22:44,480
Speaker 1: Coles like one of those under the radar signings. You

484
00:22:44,520 --> 00:22:46,520
Speaker 1: know him from looking at Jacksonville over there. He's a

485
00:22:46,520 --> 00:22:50,399
Speaker 1: good football player. So, um that that's that's five whiteouts

486
00:22:50,800 --> 00:22:52,960
Speaker 1: and they're gonna have to fight for those kind of

487
00:22:53,080 --> 00:22:56,439
Speaker 1: three roles. So it'll be interesting. Yeah, it would be

488
00:22:56,520 --> 00:23:00,119
Speaker 1: really really interesting, um to see how they do it,

489
00:23:00,200 --> 00:23:02,560
Speaker 1: and ultimately you want to get the quarterback in. But

490
00:23:02,880 --> 00:23:07,560
Speaker 1: trying to figure out which of these pass catchers can

491
00:23:07,720 --> 00:23:10,480
Speaker 1: can not only thrive in the number one role, but

492
00:23:10,560 --> 00:23:13,399
Speaker 1: can also give them the big time playmaking ability that

493
00:23:13,440 --> 00:23:16,080
Speaker 1: we look for. We talked about while receiver corps is

494
00:23:16,080 --> 00:23:19,320
Speaker 1: being basketball teams where you have different roles, different guys

495
00:23:19,320 --> 00:23:22,119
Speaker 1: bring different skills. How does that match up? And Denzel

496
00:23:22,160 --> 00:23:24,680
Speaker 1: meam ciminly has to be a part of the mix. Okay,

497
00:23:24,760 --> 00:23:27,639
Speaker 1: let's get over the NFC North. Gotta go Barris, So

498
00:23:27,720 --> 00:23:29,760
Speaker 1: the guy that I have for them. How about Darniel movie.

499
00:23:30,080 --> 00:23:32,600
Speaker 1: This is someone who really came on like game busters

500
00:23:32,640 --> 00:23:34,760
Speaker 1: for them. They're really excited about his ability to make

501
00:23:34,760 --> 00:23:38,280
Speaker 1: plays opposite Alan Robinson. When I think about the movie,

502
00:23:38,359 --> 00:23:40,680
Speaker 1: is not only the speed and the explosiveness, but it's

503
00:23:40,680 --> 00:23:43,320
Speaker 1: the big playability that he's displayed with the ball in

504
00:23:43,359 --> 00:23:45,560
Speaker 1: his hands. He has a chance to be a nice

505
00:23:45,640 --> 00:23:49,440
Speaker 1: number two opposite Robinson. And as we've seen it, as

506
00:23:49,480 --> 00:23:53,560
Speaker 1: the quarterbacks Andy Dalton or Justin Fields get comfortable in

507
00:23:53,600 --> 00:23:55,919
Speaker 1: this system, they're going to need to lean on the

508
00:23:56,000 --> 00:23:58,520
Speaker 1: number two receiver. Moody might be the guy that we

509
00:23:58,560 --> 00:24:01,320
Speaker 1: talked about. Yeah, I'm remember us doing one of those

510
00:24:01,320 --> 00:24:05,120
Speaker 1: Thursday night Amazon games last year and and I mean, look,

511
00:24:05,240 --> 00:24:07,119
Speaker 1: we highlighted him before the game and just wanted to

512
00:24:07,119 --> 00:24:08,960
Speaker 1: see what he could do because he is a weapon

513
00:24:09,680 --> 00:24:12,440
Speaker 1: with his vertical speed. And you go back and look

514
00:24:12,480 --> 00:24:15,880
Speaker 1: at what he did in college. Um to me at

515
00:24:15,880 --> 00:24:19,639
Speaker 1: two lane, Gosh, who was it was Auburn? It was Obanogamy,

516
00:24:20,000 --> 00:24:22,399
Speaker 1: the Auburn corner that the Miami Dolphins took in the

517
00:24:22,400 --> 00:24:25,720
Speaker 1: first round, and he torched him. Um, so I'm going back.

518
00:24:25,800 --> 00:24:27,120
Speaker 1: I had to go back and look this up because

519
00:24:27,119 --> 00:24:28,720
Speaker 1: I wanted to see it when you mentioned his name.

520
00:24:29,359 --> 00:24:31,600
Speaker 1: So my notes on him outside. He can really adjust

521
00:24:31,640 --> 00:24:35,040
Speaker 1: down the field, killed the Auburn corner, acrobatic catches. He's

522
00:24:35,080 --> 00:24:37,840
Speaker 1: elusive and twitchy. Does have some drops in the middle

523
00:24:37,840 --> 00:24:39,760
Speaker 1: of the field. But buck, he ran fourth three eight,

524
00:24:39,920 --> 00:24:43,800
Speaker 1: and that speed is real speed. It's real speed. It

525
00:24:44,000 --> 00:24:47,000
Speaker 1: is real speed. I mean you talked about big time speed,

526
00:24:47,040 --> 00:24:48,480
Speaker 1: and so he has that the building. They just have

527
00:24:48,560 --> 00:24:51,240
Speaker 1: to find a way to really tap into it. He

528
00:24:51,400 --> 00:24:53,160
Speaker 1: is someone that they need to make place. They gotta

529
00:24:53,160 --> 00:24:55,399
Speaker 1: get this offense going. It's important, all right, keep us

530
00:24:55,440 --> 00:24:58,119
Speaker 1: rolling here we go Green Bay Packers. To me, this

531
00:24:58,160 --> 00:25:00,000
Speaker 1: is funny because we can talk about all the web

532
00:25:00,000 --> 00:25:01,600
Speaker 1: friends that they have on the outside. But I think

533
00:25:01,600 --> 00:25:03,439
Speaker 1: a J Dealon has to play a role. I know

534
00:25:03,520 --> 00:25:05,720
Speaker 1: they have big money tied into their stars, right. You

535
00:25:05,800 --> 00:25:08,359
Speaker 1: got Davonte Adams wants a new contract. We've seen Aaron

536
00:25:08,440 --> 00:25:10,920
Speaker 1: Jones resign as a big contract. But I think we

537
00:25:11,000 --> 00:25:13,200
Speaker 1: got a taste of it. A T Dealon has their

538
00:25:13,240 --> 00:25:16,160
Speaker 1: fourth down back, the guy that can fourth four minute back,

539
00:25:16,200 --> 00:25:18,040
Speaker 1: the guy that can kind of saw away the games

540
00:25:18,280 --> 00:25:21,240
Speaker 1: once they get a hit, big physical runner gives them

541
00:25:21,280 --> 00:25:23,200
Speaker 1: a different style changes the way you have to play

542
00:25:23,200 --> 00:25:25,720
Speaker 1: on defense. Dealing could have a big rold for the

543
00:25:25,760 --> 00:25:27,440
Speaker 1: Packers as it gets down to stress and they're trying

544
00:25:27,480 --> 00:25:30,280
Speaker 1: to find their playoff legs. Yeah no, he's built for that.

545
00:25:30,359 --> 00:25:32,840
Speaker 1: He's built for that later in the year, um to

546
00:25:32,880 --> 00:25:35,280
Speaker 1: be able to finish off games, finish off the season.

547
00:25:35,359 --> 00:25:38,000
Speaker 1: So he's a closer. He's a closer runner with big

548
00:25:38,040 --> 00:25:40,560
Speaker 1: time top speed. All right, who's up next? Minnesota Vikings

549
00:25:40,600 --> 00:25:45,480
Speaker 1: Jeff Gladden the cornerback. Uh. They need they need to upgrade, Uh,

550
00:25:45,520 --> 00:25:48,639
Speaker 1: their cornerback situation. That's why they've drafted so many corners

551
00:25:48,640 --> 00:25:51,840
Speaker 1: over the last few years. Gladdening from TCU as someone

552
00:25:51,880 --> 00:25:53,520
Speaker 1: that we thought had a chance to be a really,

553
00:25:53,520 --> 00:25:55,760
Speaker 1: really good one. Patrick Peterson is in the fold. They

554
00:25:55,760 --> 00:25:59,280
Speaker 1: brought Kenzie Alexander back. Someone has to merge as a

555
00:25:59,359 --> 00:26:02,720
Speaker 1: viable option. I like Gladdening. I think his size and stuff,

556
00:26:02,760 --> 00:26:05,480
Speaker 1: and it's his physicality fits and how Mike Zimmer wants

557
00:26:05,520 --> 00:26:07,720
Speaker 1: to play. Now we need to step up and see

558
00:26:07,800 --> 00:26:10,960
Speaker 1: him show up and show out on the corner. Yeah.

559
00:26:11,000 --> 00:26:14,960
Speaker 1: One word scouting report for Gladne feisty, feisty for him.

560
00:26:15,040 --> 00:26:17,080
Speaker 1: All right, how about the Detroit Lions. Here last one

561
00:26:17,119 --> 00:26:20,080
Speaker 1: in this division. You know this is Jeffer Couda. Jeffer

562
00:26:20,119 --> 00:26:22,120
Speaker 1: Couder third overall pick. When we talked about I didn't

563
00:26:22,119 --> 00:26:24,840
Speaker 1: think there was a cleaner cornerback in the class. Didn't

564
00:26:24,880 --> 00:26:29,000
Speaker 1: play well, struggled, never necessarily display at the kind of

565
00:26:29,000 --> 00:26:33,560
Speaker 1: confidence they want to see. Well, my guy, Aaron takes

566
00:26:33,560 --> 00:26:35,840
Speaker 1: over and Glenn takes over as a defensive coordinator form

567
00:26:35,840 --> 00:26:38,840
Speaker 1: of defensive basketball made the game easier for Accuda to

568
00:26:38,880 --> 00:26:41,879
Speaker 1: succeed on the outside. I think we see the Accuda

569
00:26:42,280 --> 00:26:43,920
Speaker 1: that was a star at Ohio State and one of

570
00:26:43,920 --> 00:26:46,480
Speaker 1: the reasons why we talked about him as a surefire

571
00:26:46,600 --> 00:26:48,960
Speaker 1: camp miss top five pick. Yeah, I like to to

572
00:26:49,000 --> 00:26:51,399
Speaker 1: see my my college grade resurrected here if he can

573
00:26:51,400 --> 00:26:53,679
Speaker 1: get things going in year two. It sounds like just

574
00:26:53,760 --> 00:26:56,199
Speaker 1: from reading the reports early from camp, he showed up

575
00:26:56,200 --> 00:26:58,120
Speaker 1: with a good mindset, in good shape and it's been

576
00:26:58,160 --> 00:27:01,400
Speaker 1: really taken to the new coaching you mentioned Aaron Glenn there. Um,

577
00:27:01,440 --> 00:27:03,359
Speaker 1: it's a good it's a good group they've got working

578
00:27:03,359 --> 00:27:05,679
Speaker 1: on on his DC but in the secondary there hopefully

579
00:27:05,680 --> 00:27:08,280
Speaker 1: get the best out of him going forward. So interesting

580
00:27:08,320 --> 00:27:10,840
Speaker 1: to see how he does in year number two. I'll

581
00:27:10,880 --> 00:27:13,720
Speaker 1: kick it over to the a f C North Cincinnati Bengals.

582
00:27:14,040 --> 00:27:16,320
Speaker 1: Joe Burrow. That's an easy one. I don't know if

583
00:27:16,359 --> 00:27:18,360
Speaker 1: you read that article by our buddy Bruce Feldman where

584
00:27:18,400 --> 00:27:22,080
Speaker 1: it talked about the the improved velocity that Joe has

585
00:27:22,119 --> 00:27:24,680
Speaker 1: been able to find working out with Jordan Palmer and uh,

586
00:27:24,680 --> 00:27:27,159
Speaker 1: studying all that kinectic stuff that they do. They're of

587
00:27:27,200 --> 00:27:29,520
Speaker 1: getting his cleats in the ground and uh and really

588
00:27:29,560 --> 00:27:31,359
Speaker 1: been able to use that as a forced plate to

589
00:27:31,359 --> 00:27:34,120
Speaker 1: be able to really drive the football. And his RPMs

590
00:27:34,119 --> 00:27:36,720
Speaker 1: are way up. So um. You know, arm strength was

591
00:27:36,760 --> 00:27:39,439
Speaker 1: never you know what made Joe Burrow special. It was

592
00:27:39,480 --> 00:27:42,000
Speaker 1: an average arm. It was the vision was his superpower.

593
00:27:42,280 --> 00:27:44,280
Speaker 1: But man, now you add some some juice and some

594
00:27:44,359 --> 00:27:47,639
Speaker 1: velocity to what he's done. Uh. Man, this kid he

595
00:27:47,680 --> 00:27:49,160
Speaker 1: can be as good as he wants to be. Man,

596
00:27:49,160 --> 00:27:52,120
Speaker 1: because his his his decision making in ball placement is

597
00:27:52,200 --> 00:27:54,480
Speaker 1: off the charts. Good Man, He's gonna have a chance

598
00:27:54,520 --> 00:27:56,160
Speaker 1: to be off the charge because he has a familiar

599
00:27:56,200 --> 00:27:58,119
Speaker 1: face that is now in the hotel in Jamar Chase

600
00:27:58,400 --> 00:28:01,480
Speaker 1: youtho Jamar Chase in with Tyler boyd Uh you have

601
00:28:02,080 --> 00:28:04,960
Speaker 1: uh Tee Higgins on the outside. They have weapons, they

602
00:28:04,960 --> 00:28:07,280
Speaker 1: can come at you. And so as Joe Burrow getting

603
00:28:07,280 --> 00:28:10,359
Speaker 1: comfortable in that offense, could see a major jumping year

604
00:28:10,400 --> 00:28:12,879
Speaker 1: two from Yeah, it's a big one. UM, So we'll

605
00:28:12,920 --> 00:28:14,800
Speaker 1: see how he does. I like that offense that they've

606
00:28:14,800 --> 00:28:17,639
Speaker 1: got to see this offensive line can shell Cleveland Browns.

607
00:28:17,640 --> 00:28:19,960
Speaker 1: Grant Delpit remember last year, you know a lot of

608
00:28:20,040 --> 00:28:21,840
Speaker 1: hype of him on him coming out of l s U.

609
00:28:21,880 --> 00:28:23,800
Speaker 1: We thought he'd be a first round pick. He wasn't.

610
00:28:23,840 --> 00:28:25,399
Speaker 1: He slides a little bit in the draft. Then he

611
00:28:25,400 --> 00:28:28,199
Speaker 1: gets to Cleveland tears as Achilles, which is you know,

612
00:28:28,240 --> 00:28:30,480
Speaker 1: as I can speak to, is a crappy injury, especially

613
00:28:30,520 --> 00:28:32,919
Speaker 1: the young guy, uh ha an Achilles tears. So how

614
00:28:32,920 --> 00:28:35,320
Speaker 1: does he come back from that? Anxious to see Um

615
00:28:35,359 --> 00:28:37,920
Speaker 1: they went out in free agency. UM spent some big

616
00:28:37,920 --> 00:28:39,960
Speaker 1: money on John Johnson to bring him into the mix

617
00:28:40,120 --> 00:28:42,800
Speaker 1: from the Rams. So trying to find a role. Can

618
00:28:42,840 --> 00:28:44,880
Speaker 1: Grant Delpit find a role here on this team? It

619
00:28:44,960 --> 00:28:47,280
Speaker 1: might just be on special teams, but more than he else.

620
00:28:47,280 --> 00:28:49,000
Speaker 1: I'm curious to see how he's moving around in the

621
00:28:49,000 --> 00:28:50,440
Speaker 1: preseason and see if you can get back to what

622
00:28:50,480 --> 00:28:52,920
Speaker 1: he was. Yeah, they're gonna need. They're gonna need him.

623
00:28:52,960 --> 00:28:55,800
Speaker 1: When you think about the offenses that are in this division,

624
00:28:56,080 --> 00:28:58,080
Speaker 1: not only do they have guys that can throw the

625
00:28:58,080 --> 00:28:59,600
Speaker 1: ball around the yard, but you've gotta be able to

626
00:28:59,640 --> 00:29:02,400
Speaker 1: deal with the running game. And so del Pit remember

627
00:29:02,480 --> 00:29:04,640
Speaker 1: was a bit of a hit or miss tackler his

628
00:29:04,720 --> 00:29:06,959
Speaker 1: final season at l s U. And so we need

629
00:29:07,000 --> 00:29:09,680
Speaker 1: to see Kenny add some physicality in terms of being

630
00:29:09,720 --> 00:29:13,320
Speaker 1: a sure tackler in the middle coming off that Achilles injury.

631
00:29:13,480 --> 00:29:15,520
Speaker 1: Maybe the change of direction and the range will be

632
00:29:15,720 --> 00:29:18,240
Speaker 1: problematic in terms of being able to have the normal

633
00:29:18,640 --> 00:29:20,640
Speaker 1: range that he just played early in his career. But

634
00:29:20,720 --> 00:29:22,560
Speaker 1: he can't be a downhill player. He can't be a

635
00:29:22,600 --> 00:29:24,280
Speaker 1: guy that can get in the box and makes place happen.

636
00:29:24,320 --> 00:29:26,000
Speaker 1: They need him to make some play. All right, Let's

637
00:29:26,000 --> 00:29:28,640
Speaker 1: go to the Pittsburgh Steelers. Kevin Dotson along that offensive

638
00:29:28,680 --> 00:29:31,240
Speaker 1: line started four games last year. I'm gonna start guard

639
00:29:31,280 --> 00:29:33,560
Speaker 1: for them this year. I really liked him. I thought

640
00:29:33,600 --> 00:29:36,120
Speaker 1: he was a great value pick coming out of college. Um,

641
00:29:36,400 --> 00:29:39,600
Speaker 1: this is an offensive line that is darm near new

642
00:29:40,080 --> 00:29:42,680
Speaker 1: across the board with a new five with what they're

643
00:29:42,680 --> 00:29:45,960
Speaker 1: playing with here, so it's gonna be pressure on him

644
00:29:46,000 --> 00:29:48,840
Speaker 1: specifically to play well, but them as a group more

645
00:29:48,880 --> 00:29:52,360
Speaker 1: than anything else. Um, how they play well together, how

646
00:29:52,400 --> 00:29:55,000
Speaker 1: they jell. This is an offensive line. I think we

647
00:29:55,000 --> 00:29:58,840
Speaker 1: would both agree once once Munshack left. Um, I don't

648
00:29:58,840 --> 00:30:00,680
Speaker 1: know that that group has been the same team. So

649
00:30:00,760 --> 00:30:03,320
Speaker 1: now you've got a whole new group, and they've got

650
00:30:03,360 --> 00:30:05,240
Speaker 1: to come together if they're gonna have a chance to

651
00:30:05,240 --> 00:30:07,520
Speaker 1: be a good football team. I'm concerned about the group,

652
00:30:07,720 --> 00:30:10,040
Speaker 1: but I do like Kevin Dotson. I'm I'm anxiously see

653
00:30:10,040 --> 00:30:13,360
Speaker 1: how he does this year. Look, I'm also concerned about

654
00:30:13,360 --> 00:30:15,520
Speaker 1: the group, but I believe there's a renewed commitment to

655
00:30:15,560 --> 00:30:18,120
Speaker 1: the running game has been mandated from the very very top.

656
00:30:18,520 --> 00:30:22,000
Speaker 1: The offensive line has to do their part controlling the trenches,

657
00:30:22,520 --> 00:30:25,160
Speaker 1: re establishing the line of script, moving people off the ball.

658
00:30:25,360 --> 00:30:27,440
Speaker 1: I want to see if they can move the furniture

659
00:30:27,480 --> 00:30:30,920
Speaker 1: in Pittsburgh. That offensive line is undepressed because they have

660
00:30:31,040 --> 00:30:33,120
Speaker 1: to improve and improve in a hurry for this team

661
00:30:33,160 --> 00:30:36,000
Speaker 1: to seriously compete in the f C. Alright, one of

662
00:30:36,040 --> 00:30:38,239
Speaker 1: my favorite players in the draft last year had an

663
00:30:38,280 --> 00:30:40,760
Speaker 1: uneven year. Struggle a little bit in coverage, but the

664
00:30:40,840 --> 00:30:42,880
Speaker 1: speed you can still see the speed, and he made

665
00:30:42,920 --> 00:30:45,640
Speaker 1: some splash plays. That's Patrick Queen for the Ravens um

666
00:30:45,720 --> 00:30:47,960
Speaker 1: year two. I think you'll see him again a lot

667
00:30:47,960 --> 00:30:51,040
Speaker 1: of the same theme. With these guys. You're more comfortable,

668
00:30:51,200 --> 00:30:53,959
Speaker 1: You've got a better knowledge base than your athleticism can

669
00:30:53,960 --> 00:30:56,360
Speaker 1: show and play. So I think Patrick Queen here, your

670
00:30:56,440 --> 00:30:58,120
Speaker 1: number two. You're gonna see him take a big leap.

671
00:30:58,800 --> 00:31:01,440
Speaker 1: I expect him to play the colap the speed, the

672
00:31:01,480 --> 00:31:05,280
Speaker 1: athleticism and Wink Martindale's defense where they're bringing pressure and

673
00:31:05,400 --> 00:31:08,840
Speaker 1: simulated pressure and creepers and all these different exotic hybrid

674
00:31:08,960 --> 00:31:12,280
Speaker 1: terms from their defense. They need fast guys at the

675
00:31:12,320 --> 00:31:14,280
Speaker 1: second level. We thought he was going to be a

676
00:31:14,280 --> 00:31:17,760
Speaker 1: guy who was gonna have an impressive Rickie season. Was solid,

677
00:31:18,160 --> 00:31:20,280
Speaker 1: but we expect more. I think he has a chance

678
00:31:20,280 --> 00:31:23,320
Speaker 1: to be an all star level defender in this defense.

679
00:31:23,960 --> 00:31:25,800
Speaker 1: All right, there you go, there's the FC North. Kick

680
00:31:25,840 --> 00:31:29,080
Speaker 1: us over to the NFC South. So when I think

681
00:31:29,080 --> 00:31:30,800
Speaker 1: about the NFC South, first we can go with the

682
00:31:30,840 --> 00:31:35,320
Speaker 1: Atlanta Falcons and Atlanta Falcons. To me, it is Marlon Davidson, uh,

683
00:31:35,440 --> 00:31:37,920
Speaker 1: the edge player, inside player, whatever you wanna call him.

684
00:31:37,920 --> 00:31:41,040
Speaker 1: For the Falcons. I like the urgency I like the size,

685
00:31:41,040 --> 00:31:44,880
Speaker 1: I like the toughness DMPs having a part of a

686
00:31:44,920 --> 00:31:47,080
Speaker 1: hand in this defense. How did they utilize him? How

687
00:31:47,080 --> 00:31:49,320
Speaker 1: did they take advantage of his versatility? I thought that

688
00:31:49,400 --> 00:31:51,760
Speaker 1: was the best part of how he played at all,

689
00:31:51,800 --> 00:31:53,920
Speaker 1: ben being able to do it from a few different locations.

690
00:31:54,240 --> 00:31:56,600
Speaker 1: Let's see if he can emerge as an impact player

691
00:31:56,600 --> 00:31:59,520
Speaker 1: for this Atlanta Falcons defense. No, I like that one.

692
00:31:59,560 --> 00:32:02,840
Speaker 1: This is a a team with a lot of young players. Um,

693
00:32:03,080 --> 00:32:04,920
Speaker 1: and again, let's see how they all can gel together

694
00:32:05,000 --> 00:32:07,440
Speaker 1: and come together. Not not I think they even mentioned

695
00:32:07,440 --> 00:32:10,280
Speaker 1: it the other day. Uh, their frustration feel like they're

696
00:32:10,280 --> 00:32:12,440
Speaker 1: not getting a lot of respect as a team. Um,

697
00:32:13,120 --> 00:32:14,800
Speaker 1: there is talent. There is talent on this team. We'll

698
00:32:14,800 --> 00:32:17,040
Speaker 1: see how it all comes together. Yeah. I mean it's

699
00:32:17,040 --> 00:32:20,360
Speaker 1: certainly a ton of talent, but it is about bringing

700
00:32:20,360 --> 00:32:22,720
Speaker 1: it together. So let's go to the New Orleans Saints.

701
00:32:22,920 --> 00:32:25,640
Speaker 1: Zach Bond is the guy for me, uh, coming out

702
00:32:25,640 --> 00:32:29,000
Speaker 1: of Wisconsin. I love the versatility. I loved how he

703
00:32:29,120 --> 00:32:32,080
Speaker 1: played the game as a linebacker. I'm looking at this

704
00:32:32,160 --> 00:32:34,400
Speaker 1: Saints team and I'm trying to figure out who was

705
00:32:34,440 --> 00:32:37,440
Speaker 1: the compliment. Who is the side this that can compliment

706
00:32:37,520 --> 00:32:40,240
Speaker 1: Kim Jordan as a pass rusher. We're waiting on Mark's

707
00:32:40,280 --> 00:32:42,760
Speaker 1: Devenport to be that guy, but it is someone else

708
00:32:43,040 --> 00:32:45,560
Speaker 1: that can maybe be a blitzer, a second level defender.

709
00:32:46,080 --> 00:32:48,280
Speaker 1: Bond is the guy that I keep going back to.

710
00:32:48,400 --> 00:32:51,479
Speaker 1: Like man, his versatility has been underutilized. Maybe they take

711
00:32:51,520 --> 00:32:54,680
Speaker 1: advantage of it this year. Yeah. Last year he started

712
00:32:54,680 --> 00:32:59,080
Speaker 1: three games, Uh, didn't have any sacks, had had some

713
00:32:59,200 --> 00:33:01,680
Speaker 1: had some pressure. But you know, I think the opportunities

714
00:33:01,680 --> 00:33:03,600
Speaker 1: will kick up a little bit with him. He's a

715
00:33:03,680 --> 00:33:05,840
Speaker 1: unique guy. Again, I think kind of similar to a

716
00:33:06,320 --> 00:33:09,840
Speaker 1: six six to two thirty five two or forty pounds undersized,

717
00:33:09,960 --> 00:33:12,600
Speaker 1: but has length and knows how to use it. So um,

718
00:33:12,640 --> 00:33:14,640
Speaker 1: it'll be interest to see how he does this year. Okay,

719
00:33:14,680 --> 00:33:17,080
Speaker 1: keep us rolling. Here we go tam Bay Buccaneers. Like

720
00:33:17,360 --> 00:33:19,280
Speaker 1: I feel like this guy's already broken up, but I'm

721
00:33:19,400 --> 00:33:23,440
Speaker 1: saying bring him up again. Antoine Winfield Junior and his

722
00:33:23,480 --> 00:33:27,680
Speaker 1: ability and at the third level to play the middle,

723
00:33:28,000 --> 00:33:31,200
Speaker 1: to bring some nastiness and some thump to that defense.

724
00:33:31,480 --> 00:33:33,880
Speaker 1: He kind of plays that enforce a role at times.

725
00:33:34,800 --> 00:33:37,640
Speaker 1: He jumped in, didn't skip a beat coming from college

726
00:33:37,640 --> 00:33:39,360
Speaker 1: to the pros, even though he was a Rickie in

727
00:33:39,400 --> 00:33:42,880
Speaker 1: the lineup that featured a lot of star players. He

728
00:33:42,960 --> 00:33:45,840
Speaker 1: fits in. I think now he has an opportunity to ascend,

729
00:33:45,880 --> 00:33:48,560
Speaker 1: to start him as an All Star caliber player, man

730
00:33:48,640 --> 00:33:50,680
Speaker 1: in the middle of the field for his defense. Yeah,

731
00:33:50,720 --> 00:33:54,080
Speaker 1: and intelligence and instincts have been his calling card. Intelligence, instincts,

732
00:33:54,120 --> 00:33:56,800
Speaker 1: ball skills. And I think he's a great example of

733
00:33:56,840 --> 00:34:00,640
Speaker 1: somebody who mastered what they were doing on defense, and

734
00:34:00,680 --> 00:34:03,600
Speaker 1: now he's got a mastery of that. This is somebody's

735
00:34:03,600 --> 00:34:05,280
Speaker 1: gonna be able to use his intelligence to figure out

736
00:34:05,320 --> 00:34:07,680
Speaker 1: what you're doing on offense. And that's when you're gonna

737
00:34:07,680 --> 00:34:11,080
Speaker 1: see spike in production because he can focus his attention

738
00:34:11,120 --> 00:34:13,440
Speaker 1: and his knowledge base and soak up what other teams

739
00:34:13,440 --> 00:34:15,920
Speaker 1: are doing. Um Man, Sky's a limit for this kid.

740
00:34:15,920 --> 00:34:19,120
Speaker 1: He is a really, really good young player. All right, Carolina, Carolina,

741
00:34:19,520 --> 00:34:21,680
Speaker 1: We've already talked about him. Should have been defensive Brook

742
00:34:21,719 --> 00:34:24,200
Speaker 1: of the Year. Um when you talk about Jeremy chen

743
00:34:24,640 --> 00:34:28,080
Speaker 1: and and and just everything, and in talking about him

744
00:34:28,120 --> 00:34:30,560
Speaker 1: breaking through and breaking out and being a super sophomore,

745
00:34:30,760 --> 00:34:33,239
Speaker 1: I'm talking about being an All Pro caliber player. This

746
00:34:33,239 --> 00:34:37,240
Speaker 1: guy does it all. His versatility, um his dynamic playmaking

747
00:34:37,280 --> 00:34:39,520
Speaker 1: ability from the second level, and what he was able

748
00:34:39,560 --> 00:34:41,040
Speaker 1: to do and the things that they put on his

749
00:34:41,080 --> 00:34:44,160
Speaker 1: plate as a first year starter. I can only imagine

750
00:34:44,200 --> 00:34:46,600
Speaker 1: what they're cooking up in the lab this year for him.

751
00:34:46,920 --> 00:34:48,880
Speaker 1: He is going to be a household name by the

752
00:34:48,960 --> 00:34:53,520
Speaker 1: end of the season. Yeah. Fun to watch. Just speed speed, speed,

753
00:34:53,520 --> 00:34:56,480
Speaker 1: speed speed. You find a good defense, I'll show you

754
00:34:56,520 --> 00:34:58,919
Speaker 1: a fast defense. You find a bad bad defense, usually

755
00:34:58,960 --> 00:35:00,880
Speaker 1: because they don't have enough guys that and run make plays.

756
00:35:00,920 --> 00:35:02,920
Speaker 1: So Caroline has got a lot of those guys. I'm

757
00:35:03,200 --> 00:35:05,160
Speaker 1: to see how they do. Um. Okay, let's kick it

758
00:35:05,200 --> 00:35:08,400
Speaker 1: over to the a f C South selfish pick here

759
00:35:08,440 --> 00:35:13,440
Speaker 1: Buck Tennessee Titans, Darrenton Evans app state uh as a

760
00:35:13,560 --> 00:35:17,080
Speaker 1: running back, I mean Derrick Henry's obviously is the man

761
00:35:17,239 --> 00:35:18,759
Speaker 1: is going to get the bulk of the carries there.

762
00:35:19,360 --> 00:35:21,560
Speaker 1: Evans was only healthy for five games last year. You

763
00:35:21,600 --> 00:35:23,959
Speaker 1: saw some splashes of what he can do to add

764
00:35:24,000 --> 00:35:27,000
Speaker 1: some big playability UH there as well. And I think

765
00:35:27,000 --> 00:35:29,160
Speaker 1: it is it is something where you can Derrick Henry

766
00:35:29,160 --> 00:35:31,560
Speaker 1: can kind of wear people down and soften them up

767
00:35:31,600 --> 00:35:33,920
Speaker 1: a little bit, and then I think Evans and Evans

768
00:35:33,920 --> 00:35:35,920
Speaker 1: can get out there after after Henry has done the

769
00:35:36,120 --> 00:35:38,000
Speaker 1: body blows and he can hit some home runs. So

770
00:35:38,200 --> 00:35:39,520
Speaker 1: I don't think he's gonna get a lot of carry.

771
00:35:39,520 --> 00:35:41,680
Speaker 1: He's not gonna get a lot of carries obviously, but

772
00:35:41,760 --> 00:35:44,439
Speaker 1: I think he can do some damage and limited touches. Yeah,

773
00:35:44,440 --> 00:35:46,239
Speaker 1: I think he absolutely can do some damage. And you

774
00:35:46,239 --> 00:35:48,319
Speaker 1: do want to alleviate some of the pressure and some

775
00:35:48,400 --> 00:35:51,839
Speaker 1: of the bird knowing Derrick Henry longer season and so

776
00:35:51,880 --> 00:35:54,719
Speaker 1: if you're a team that has playoff aspirations, you have

777
00:35:54,760 --> 00:35:57,760
Speaker 1: to kind of stagger some of these carries out because

778
00:35:57,760 --> 00:35:59,640
Speaker 1: you don't want to wear Derrick Henry out. So he's

779
00:35:59,640 --> 00:36:03,640
Speaker 1: not going into the postseason. He has to play a role.

780
00:36:03,680 --> 00:36:05,239
Speaker 1: I expect this got to play a big role in

781
00:36:05,280 --> 00:36:08,640
Speaker 1: this in this in this offense. Yeah. Uh, let's get

782
00:36:08,680 --> 00:36:11,920
Speaker 1: to the Indianapolis Colts guy we both really loved in

783
00:36:12,000 --> 00:36:14,600
Speaker 1: college and we saw make some plays last year, Michael

784
00:36:14,600 --> 00:36:17,719
Speaker 1: Pittman for the Colts. Year two. Carson Wentz coming over

785
00:36:17,719 --> 00:36:19,880
Speaker 1: there is going to get all the attention. But when

786
00:36:19,920 --> 00:36:21,239
Speaker 1: you look at who we can throw the ball to,

787
00:36:21,760 --> 00:36:23,520
Speaker 1: Pittman to me, played really well last year and I

788
00:36:23,560 --> 00:36:25,360
Speaker 1: think there's even more ahead of him. He's got a

789
00:36:25,400 --> 00:36:28,080
Speaker 1: chance to really really emerge as as one of the

790
00:36:28,080 --> 00:36:32,480
Speaker 1: best power forward you know, wide receivers in the NFL. Yeah,

791
00:36:32,480 --> 00:36:34,640
Speaker 1: I got some out. He's got some Alan Robinson to him.

792
00:36:34,640 --> 00:36:38,200
Speaker 1: When you watch him, he absolutely does his physicality, his stuffness.

793
00:36:38,200 --> 00:36:40,000
Speaker 1: I think he has to lean into it even more.

794
00:36:40,040 --> 00:36:42,520
Speaker 1: I want to see him more physical, more aggressive in

795
00:36:42,560 --> 00:36:46,040
Speaker 1: these fifty fifty boss situation, but also doing the dirty

796
00:36:46,080 --> 00:36:48,239
Speaker 1: work over the middle of the field. I know they

797
00:36:48,280 --> 00:36:50,200
Speaker 1: have t Y Hilton steel there, but t Y Hilton

798
00:36:50,280 --> 00:36:54,040
Speaker 1: is kind of aging out. I'm looking for Piston Pittman

799
00:36:54,280 --> 00:36:57,480
Speaker 1: really really step up and to embrace the role of

800
00:36:57,520 --> 00:37:01,200
Speaker 1: being the number one receiver, the lead receiver in this offense. Well,

801
00:37:01,320 --> 00:37:03,920
Speaker 1: you didn't give me any love for my music references

802
00:37:03,960 --> 00:37:07,480
Speaker 1: on the last episode, buck uh and and unlesser Man

803
00:37:07,520 --> 00:37:09,600
Speaker 1: would have been deterred and said, I'm not going back there,

804
00:37:09,920 --> 00:37:12,600
Speaker 1: you know, I lobbed out. I don't even mean Mr Wendell,

805
00:37:12,719 --> 00:37:16,399
Speaker 1: I thought, was I mean back like you've never heard

806
00:37:16,440 --> 00:37:18,600
Speaker 1: of it? I mean, I mean I had it was

807
00:37:19,239 --> 00:37:20,880
Speaker 1: like one of one of my favorite It wasn't one

808
00:37:20,920 --> 00:37:24,160
Speaker 1: of my favorites, but I get I understand. I mean,

809
00:37:24,239 --> 00:37:26,880
Speaker 1: and then I come come on, come back with h

810
00:37:27,400 --> 00:37:30,440
Speaker 1: come on ride this train. I mean Quad City DJs,

811
00:37:30,480 --> 00:37:32,640
Speaker 1: and I got shot down. You give me nothing, you

812
00:37:32,640 --> 00:37:35,919
Speaker 1: give me no, no love whatsoever. But I'm not gonna

813
00:37:35,960 --> 00:37:37,920
Speaker 1: be deterred because I'm coming back right now with the

814
00:37:38,000 --> 00:37:41,600
Speaker 1: Jacksonville Jaguars. La la la la la la visca. I mean,

815
00:37:41,760 --> 00:37:44,959
Speaker 1: that's it. I gotta go. Let's let's get a little

816
00:37:44,960 --> 00:37:48,799
Speaker 1: international here with our with our flavor here. Uh dude,

817
00:37:48,800 --> 00:37:51,560
Speaker 1: he's gonna be fun to watch. You you've seen this team,

818
00:37:51,560 --> 00:37:53,560
Speaker 1: you know this team really well, and you know that

819
00:37:53,680 --> 00:37:56,200
Speaker 1: Urban Meyer has always had a role in his offense

820
00:37:56,239 --> 00:37:59,239
Speaker 1: for this type of player. Always had always had a

821
00:37:59,280 --> 00:38:02,040
Speaker 1: spot form and it's it's a it's a it's a

822
00:38:02,160 --> 00:38:05,080
Speaker 1: great spot and situation for him to jump in and

823
00:38:05,080 --> 00:38:08,000
Speaker 1: play a variety of different roles. For the Jaguars, they

824
00:38:08,040 --> 00:38:11,359
Speaker 1: need explosive players, any guys that can turn a small chunk,

825
00:38:11,560 --> 00:38:14,680
Speaker 1: small passes into big chunk plays, and he certainly can

826
00:38:14,760 --> 00:38:17,600
Speaker 1: do that. I'm really looking forward to watching them settle

827
00:38:17,680 --> 00:38:21,800
Speaker 1: in right wide, receiver, playmaker, whatever their role is. I

828
00:38:21,840 --> 00:38:23,920
Speaker 1: think he's gonna settle in and be more comfortable than YouTube.

829
00:38:23,960 --> 00:38:26,440
Speaker 1: And that's a scary thought for an offense that certainly

830
00:38:26,440 --> 00:38:30,200
Speaker 1: needs more explosive players. More explosive plays in the passing yame.

831
00:38:30,719 --> 00:38:32,560
Speaker 1: Can you imagine every time he makes a big catch

832
00:38:32,560 --> 00:38:34,640
Speaker 1: and just blare that over the sound system. I mean,

833
00:38:34,680 --> 00:38:37,600
Speaker 1: come on, I mean, I don't know how to plays

834
00:38:37,640 --> 00:38:40,239
Speaker 1: Will and Jackson. Come on, come on, maybe other parts

835
00:38:40,280 --> 00:38:42,640
Speaker 1: of the country will play a little bit. This is

836
00:38:42,680 --> 00:38:44,640
Speaker 1: what we need. This is why we need the bill.

837
00:38:44,680 --> 00:38:46,279
Speaker 1: I don't know what the rules are and how much

838
00:38:46,280 --> 00:38:48,600
Speaker 1: of a song you can play, but like we got

839
00:38:48,680 --> 00:38:52,279
Speaker 1: need to, we need, yeah, we need. Every time we

840
00:38:52,320 --> 00:38:54,960
Speaker 1: talk about Leaviska Chanult, we gotta just we gotta just

841
00:38:55,040 --> 00:38:59,080
Speaker 1: drop that in. Um, all right, Houston, Texans. Uh. And

842
00:38:59,200 --> 00:39:01,160
Speaker 1: it wasn't a lot to get excited about when I

843
00:39:01,160 --> 00:39:04,719
Speaker 1: looked at their group of second year players. UM, I

844
00:39:04,760 --> 00:39:08,480
Speaker 1: would like to, uh to recoup my my grade on

845
00:39:08,560 --> 00:39:12,880
Speaker 1: Ross Blacklock. So I'll go with him. Um, just didn't

846
00:39:12,880 --> 00:39:15,720
Speaker 1: do much of anything last year. He Uh, he played

847
00:39:15,800 --> 00:39:20,280
Speaker 1: he let's see, he started one game, he had fourteen tackles,

848
00:39:20,520 --> 00:39:23,560
Speaker 1: he had one TfL, two quarterback hits. I gave him

849
00:39:23,560 --> 00:39:25,200
Speaker 1: a pretty good grade. Buck. He just didn't do a

850
00:39:25,200 --> 00:39:27,480
Speaker 1: whole lot there in your number one. So what does

851
00:39:27,520 --> 00:39:30,959
Speaker 1: he look like in your number two? UM? I think

852
00:39:31,000 --> 00:39:33,680
Speaker 1: he's he's his calling card coming out when you studied

853
00:39:33,719 --> 00:39:36,160
Speaker 1: him was his quickness and his get off and and

854
00:39:36,200 --> 00:39:39,200
Speaker 1: hopefully now with with Lovey running this defense, they're gonna

855
00:39:39,280 --> 00:39:41,000
Speaker 1: let him know, get up field and try and make

856
00:39:41,040 --> 00:39:42,960
Speaker 1: some plays. But man, my draft grade after one year

857
00:39:42,960 --> 00:39:44,279
Speaker 1: and I don't feel great about it. I'm not gonna

858
00:39:44,320 --> 00:39:47,080
Speaker 1: lie no, that's okay. But I think Lovey could be

859
00:39:47,120 --> 00:39:48,640
Speaker 1: a gussip for him in terms of being able to

860
00:39:48,719 --> 00:39:51,440
Speaker 1: simplify the defense. They're gonna talk about playing hard, running

861
00:39:51,440 --> 00:39:53,800
Speaker 1: to the ball, doing those things when you think about

862
00:39:53,920 --> 00:39:58,000
Speaker 1: black life, urgent athlete, fast, physical, That's what he did

863
00:39:58,040 --> 00:39:59,520
Speaker 1: at TCU. Let's see if you can get back to

864
00:39:59,520 --> 00:40:02,200
Speaker 1: doing it. But Texas, there you go. That's the a

865
00:40:02,320 --> 00:40:05,080
Speaker 1: f C South. Kick us over to the NFC West.

866
00:40:05,480 --> 00:40:08,320
Speaker 1: Here we go the l A Rams Van Jefferson, Nowda

867
00:40:08,400 --> 00:40:10,160
Speaker 1: cam Akers is out of the mix. I'm thinking this

868
00:40:10,200 --> 00:40:12,360
Speaker 1: team has to skew a little more towards the pass.

869
00:40:12,719 --> 00:40:15,799
Speaker 1: Matthew Stafford is one of the best pure I mean, look,

870
00:40:15,920 --> 00:40:19,840
Speaker 1: he might be the most talented quarterback that we have

871
00:40:19,880 --> 00:40:22,440
Speaker 1: in league just in terms of just throwing. And so

872
00:40:22,480 --> 00:40:25,080
Speaker 1: now you give him an opportunity with Van Jefferson. You

873
00:40:25,120 --> 00:40:27,520
Speaker 1: think about the other guys that they have on the

874
00:40:27,560 --> 00:40:31,120
Speaker 1: outside the Sean Jackson commanded some attention, Robert Woods, Cooper

875
00:40:31,200 --> 00:40:33,200
Speaker 1: Cup Van Jefferson is gonna get a lot of one

876
00:40:33,239 --> 00:40:36,719
Speaker 1: on one if they go tim personnel, one back, four

877
00:40:36,719 --> 00:40:39,120
Speaker 1: wide receivers on the field. Van Jefferson is going to

878
00:40:39,160 --> 00:40:41,440
Speaker 1: win because he's one of the best route runners on

879
00:40:41,480 --> 00:40:43,640
Speaker 1: a team. For the route runners, he's gonna fit in.

880
00:40:43,760 --> 00:40:45,560
Speaker 1: He is going to do damage on your third or

881
00:40:45,560 --> 00:40:48,040
Speaker 1: fourth corner on the outside. I'm curious to see how

882
00:40:48,120 --> 00:40:49,719
Speaker 1: much they really end up running it. I mean, they're

883
00:40:49,719 --> 00:40:52,600
Speaker 1: gonna He's got these toys, and he's got Matthew Stafford,

884
00:40:52,600 --> 00:40:59,320
Speaker 1: and you see the training training, training camp reports throwing

885
00:40:59,600 --> 00:41:03,920
Speaker 1: it down the field. Cardinals. When I think about the Cardinals,

886
00:41:04,000 --> 00:41:06,480
Speaker 1: it has to me about Isaiah Simmons DJ when we

887
00:41:06,480 --> 00:41:09,560
Speaker 1: talk about the guy being the ultimate Swiss Army Knife.

888
00:41:09,560 --> 00:41:11,920
Speaker 1: When he was coming out of Clemson, surprised that he

889
00:41:11,920 --> 00:41:14,680
Speaker 1: didn't make much of an impact for the Cardinals. This

890
00:41:14,760 --> 00:41:16,399
Speaker 1: is a year where he has to figure it out.

891
00:41:16,400 --> 00:41:20,120
Speaker 1: They put him at inside linebacker. His length certainly is

892
00:41:20,160 --> 00:41:23,520
Speaker 1: going to play a role. His athleticism as they crank

893
00:41:23,600 --> 00:41:26,040
Speaker 1: up the pressures. I think you'll see him more involved

894
00:41:26,040 --> 00:41:28,960
Speaker 1: in the pass rush game. Isaiah Simmons needs to be

895
00:41:28,960 --> 00:41:31,080
Speaker 1: an impact player, and I believe he will be an

896
00:41:31,080 --> 00:41:34,120
Speaker 1: impact player in YouTube. Yeah, I mean there's you can

897
00:41:34,160 --> 00:41:37,200
Speaker 1: do everything now, it's just a matter of again, let him,

898
00:41:37,280 --> 00:41:39,120
Speaker 1: let him settle, let him get set a little bit

899
00:41:39,200 --> 00:41:41,080
Speaker 1: and uh and see if we can't see him take

900
00:41:41,080 --> 00:41:45,640
Speaker 1: off Niners forty Niners. Brandon, Brandon and Yuk tease us

901
00:41:45,640 --> 00:41:47,759
Speaker 1: a little bit on the outside. He's a wing back.

902
00:41:47,840 --> 00:41:50,640
Speaker 1: He's a guy that has a big time playmaking ability

903
00:41:50,680 --> 00:41:52,799
Speaker 1: as a runner in the open field. He does a

904
00:41:52,880 --> 00:41:56,040
Speaker 1: great job of taking it when when they give it

905
00:41:56,080 --> 00:41:59,000
Speaker 1: to him on those fly sweets, Mr Rexon's, bubble screens,

906
00:41:59,000 --> 00:42:01,480
Speaker 1: crossing routes, all the of stuff. Man, he has a

907
00:42:01,520 --> 00:42:04,120
Speaker 1: different gear and some physicality and toughness that makes them very,

908
00:42:04,160 --> 00:42:06,400
Speaker 1: very hard to deal with in the open field. I

909
00:42:06,440 --> 00:42:09,280
Speaker 1: am excited to see what Kyle Shanahan has in store

910
00:42:09,320 --> 00:42:13,239
Speaker 1: for him. Also his running mate Deebo Samuels. These two

911
00:42:13,280 --> 00:42:15,960
Speaker 1: guys could be a problem because you have to start

912
00:42:16,600 --> 00:42:19,640
Speaker 1: thinking about defending the running game when you're facing the Niners.

913
00:42:19,840 --> 00:42:22,840
Speaker 1: That's a lot of one on one tackling opportunities that

914
00:42:22,880 --> 00:42:25,000
Speaker 1: I don't know if many dbs can make against these guys,

915
00:42:25,040 --> 00:42:28,200
Speaker 1: particularly I you yeah, I U the length to I

916
00:42:28,239 --> 00:42:30,680
Speaker 1: mean when you when you just see his his length

917
00:42:30,680 --> 00:42:32,399
Speaker 1: which is pretty unique. And saw some of the clips

918
00:42:32,440 --> 00:42:34,279
Speaker 1: the other day from practice him going over the middle,

919
00:42:34,360 --> 00:42:36,480
Speaker 1: going up above people, making plays look like go go,

920
00:42:36,560 --> 00:42:39,160
Speaker 1: gadget arms with his arm length there. So he's a

921
00:42:39,200 --> 00:42:43,279
Speaker 1: phenomenal talent Seattle. Jordan Brooks, Jordan Brooks. Every want to

922
00:42:43,280 --> 00:42:45,640
Speaker 1: talk about Bobby Wagmen, who is the o G of

923
00:42:45,680 --> 00:42:48,640
Speaker 1: all the inside linebackers in the league. It's still doing

924
00:42:48,640 --> 00:42:52,720
Speaker 1: it at a crazy level. But Jordan Brooks is attacking machine.

925
00:42:52,719 --> 00:42:54,960
Speaker 1: He was attacking machine when he was a Texa. Attack

926
00:42:55,080 --> 00:42:59,440
Speaker 1: his athleticism, his speed, his instincts. This is a defense

927
00:42:59,480 --> 00:43:03,320
Speaker 1: they really really lives on having instinct defenders in the box.

928
00:43:03,840 --> 00:43:06,759
Speaker 1: He has great instincts, great awareness. Want to see him

929
00:43:06,800 --> 00:43:10,319
Speaker 1: unleash it in YouTube? Yeah, I mean this is uh,

930
00:43:10,600 --> 00:43:15,320
Speaker 1: this is a Seattle defense that hand big names maybe

931
00:43:15,320 --> 00:43:17,160
Speaker 1: not so much. You know when you when you look

932
00:43:17,200 --> 00:43:19,840
Speaker 1: at you've got Bobby Wagner and you've got Jamal Adams,

933
00:43:19,880 --> 00:43:22,239
Speaker 1: but um, they're gonna need some of these other kind

934
00:43:22,280 --> 00:43:25,080
Speaker 1: of I want to say roll pieces, but just younger pieces,

935
00:43:25,080 --> 00:43:28,480
Speaker 1: maybe some unproven pieces. Just surround those key guys that

936
00:43:28,560 --> 00:43:30,919
Speaker 1: they have um to get this defense where it needs

937
00:43:30,960 --> 00:43:34,279
Speaker 1: to be. Um, okay, let's kick over last Division A

938
00:43:34,400 --> 00:43:36,840
Speaker 1: f C West and I can roll through these quickly.

939
00:43:36,840 --> 00:43:39,839
Speaker 1: Here Denver Broncos. Jerry Judy just catch the ball man

940
00:43:39,920 --> 00:43:42,240
Speaker 1: like getting open is not a problem for him, phenomenal

941
00:43:42,360 --> 00:43:44,680
Speaker 1: route runner, tons of separation. Just needs to be consistent.

942
00:43:44,719 --> 00:43:47,000
Speaker 1: Catching the football just needs to be consisting. One of

943
00:43:47,040 --> 00:43:49,080
Speaker 1: the best reveres that you can see has some sizzle

944
00:43:49,160 --> 00:43:51,680
Speaker 1: to his game. Uh we'll see which quarterback is the

945
00:43:51,719 --> 00:43:54,799
Speaker 1: one that is in charge. Uh Teddy Bridge Water, Drew Lot,

946
00:43:54,880 --> 00:43:56,719
Speaker 1: whoever it is. I think you can see a new

947
00:43:56,719 --> 00:43:59,400
Speaker 1: and improved Jerry Judy. All right, we get to the

948
00:43:59,480 --> 00:44:02,279
Speaker 1: Kansas City Chiefs. Uh what look, wasn't one of their

949
00:44:02,280 --> 00:44:04,800
Speaker 1: top picks, but he was their best pick. That's Lugarius Sneed,

950
00:44:04,800 --> 00:44:07,240
Speaker 1: who ended up being wants say, a shut down corner,

951
00:44:07,320 --> 00:44:09,440
Speaker 1: but somebody that you could really trust and rely on

952
00:44:09,920 --> 00:44:13,520
Speaker 1: um getting things done there. So to me, um Man,

953
00:44:13,560 --> 00:44:16,000
Speaker 1: as good as he was last year, you figure he's

954
00:44:16,000 --> 00:44:18,319
Speaker 1: gonna take another step forward this year and you look

955
00:44:18,360 --> 00:44:21,320
Speaker 1: around that division, You've got a lot of talented whiteouts

956
00:44:21,320 --> 00:44:23,520
Speaker 1: he's gonna have to deal with. So uh man, it's

957
00:44:23,560 --> 00:44:25,680
Speaker 1: it's such a luxury when you gotta pay all these stars.

958
00:44:25,719 --> 00:44:27,960
Speaker 1: When you're a super Bowl caliber team like the Chiefs,

959
00:44:28,200 --> 00:44:30,000
Speaker 1: when you can hit on some of these mid round guys,

960
00:44:30,040 --> 00:44:32,840
Speaker 1: it is huge. And what a hit there for Brett

961
00:44:32,880 --> 00:44:36,200
Speaker 1: Veach on Lagarius Sneed, Yes, Sneed came up, came through

962
00:44:36,280 --> 00:44:37,680
Speaker 1: for them in a big time way. And when you

963
00:44:37,680 --> 00:44:40,840
Speaker 1: think about Spags his defense, Spags wants to dial up

964
00:44:40,880 --> 00:44:42,319
Speaker 1: a lot of pressure. You want to attack you from

965
00:44:42,400 --> 00:44:44,640
Speaker 1: multiple levels, and he is not afraid to hang out

966
00:44:44,640 --> 00:44:47,080
Speaker 1: his corners to dry. You better be able to play,

967
00:44:47,120 --> 00:44:49,040
Speaker 1: You better be able to cover. And Sneed has been

968
00:44:49,080 --> 00:44:51,120
Speaker 1: able to surprise and he hold his own even as

969
00:44:51,160 --> 00:44:53,719
Speaker 1: a young player. That bowls well for Kansas City because

970
00:44:53,760 --> 00:44:56,040
Speaker 1: now they can turn to the pressure even more and

971
00:44:56,160 --> 00:44:57,960
Speaker 1: as you're having the chase points to really keep up

972
00:44:57,960 --> 00:45:00,800
Speaker 1: with their high powered offense. All right, Raiders, I mentioned

973
00:45:00,800 --> 00:45:04,279
Speaker 1: whiteouts in this league. Brian Edwards UM look a lot

974
00:45:04,360 --> 00:45:06,480
Speaker 1: was expected. There was a lot of buzz on him

975
00:45:07,080 --> 00:45:09,960
Speaker 1: coming into the last season. The wide receiver at South Carolina,

976
00:45:10,400 --> 00:45:13,080
Speaker 1: UM Derek carr. It said, gosh, who did he compare

977
00:45:13,160 --> 00:45:16,800
Speaker 1: him to? He compared him to somebody, somebody, somebody, somebody

978
00:45:16,840 --> 00:45:18,880
Speaker 1: big time. I cannot remember who the comparison was. It

979
00:45:18,920 --> 00:45:21,120
Speaker 1: wasn't Vante, but it was a big time comparison that

980
00:45:21,200 --> 00:45:24,680
Speaker 1: he threw out there because he is big and physical. Yeah,

981
00:45:24,800 --> 00:45:27,200
Speaker 1: so he was. He was getting a lot of love

982
00:45:27,239 --> 00:45:29,239
Speaker 1: coming to the last season. Wasn't totally healthy, So keep

983
00:45:29,320 --> 00:45:32,440
Speaker 1: him healthy. Could be a big year ahead for Brian

984
00:45:32,560 --> 00:45:35,279
Speaker 1: Edwards obviously the quarterback loves him. And then Chargers, the

985
00:45:35,360 --> 00:45:38,440
Speaker 1: last team here in the a f C West, Herbert's

986
00:45:38,640 --> 00:45:40,000
Speaker 1: is the easy one to keep an eye on. We're

987
00:45:40,000 --> 00:45:42,080
Speaker 1: all gonna be watching Herbert after what he did year one.

988
00:45:42,080 --> 00:45:43,839
Speaker 1: But I'm gonna go with their second first round picking

989
00:45:43,880 --> 00:45:46,840
Speaker 1: Kenneth Murray. Um, And when you kind of look around

990
00:45:46,880 --> 00:45:49,600
Speaker 1: at other teams, Buck, I don't know who can rival

991
00:45:50,520 --> 00:45:53,719
Speaker 1: the Chargers in terms of some of the some of

992
00:45:53,760 --> 00:45:56,440
Speaker 1: the athletes that can they can deploy in the middle

993
00:45:56,480 --> 00:45:59,640
Speaker 1: of the field. When you look at when healthy Derwin

994
00:45:59,760 --> 00:46:02,480
Speaker 1: James coming back and being able to drop him down

995
00:46:02,480 --> 00:46:05,760
Speaker 1: and do things with him down around the line of scrimmage. Uh,

996
00:46:05,880 --> 00:46:08,879
Speaker 1: Kenneth Murray who we're talking about here can't fly. I mean,

997
00:46:08,920 --> 00:46:11,600
Speaker 1: he is explosive and fast, and he's gonna he's gonna

998
00:46:11,640 --> 00:46:13,600
Speaker 1: be more comfortable and he's gonna be a good fit here.

999
00:46:14,040 --> 00:46:17,360
Speaker 1: And and coach Staley's defense, Drew frank will Is a

1000
00:46:17,640 --> 00:46:20,720
Speaker 1: is a phenomenal young player who got hurt miss fifteen

1001
00:46:20,719 --> 00:46:22,440
Speaker 1: games last year. He got hurt in the first game

1002
00:46:22,480 --> 00:46:25,399
Speaker 1: of the year. Uh, they get him back. Kaiser White,

1003
00:46:25,440 --> 00:46:28,000
Speaker 1: who was a safety in college who plays a linebacker

1004
00:46:28,080 --> 00:46:31,600
Speaker 1: for the Chargers. Um. They have a ton of guys

1005
00:46:31,640 --> 00:46:34,399
Speaker 1: that they can put four yards off the football from

1006
00:46:34,480 --> 00:46:38,080
Speaker 1: sideline to sideline that can go um so more than

1007
00:46:38,080 --> 00:46:40,720
Speaker 1: anything else, I'm looking forward to Kenneth Murray and Derwin

1008
00:46:40,880 --> 00:46:44,359
Speaker 1: James and how they rock and roll off of each other. Yeah,

1009
00:46:44,360 --> 00:46:45,839
Speaker 1: that's fact him to rock and roll. And the one

1010
00:46:45,840 --> 00:46:48,239
Speaker 1: thing that we do know about Stanley his defense. He's

1011
00:46:48,239 --> 00:46:50,040
Speaker 1: gonna find the playmates and put him in a position

1012
00:46:50,040 --> 00:46:52,840
Speaker 1: to be around the ball. And so this boat was

1013
00:46:52,920 --> 00:46:56,320
Speaker 1: well for him because, man, you talk about a fast defense,

1014
00:46:56,360 --> 00:46:59,040
Speaker 1: Potentially they're gonna be fast because the athleticism may have

1015
00:46:59,120 --> 00:47:01,319
Speaker 1: but they even gonna be asked it because they're gonna

1016
00:47:01,360 --> 00:47:03,480
Speaker 1: really make it easy for those guys to pay to

1017
00:47:03,640 --> 00:47:05,480
Speaker 1: play and chase the ball. And that's big. Big things

1018
00:47:05,520 --> 00:47:08,680
Speaker 1: happen all right. As we're recording this here, it did

1019
00:47:08,800 --> 00:47:11,319
Speaker 1: just come across. The Jets did sign Zach Wilson, so

1020
00:47:11,360 --> 00:47:14,120
Speaker 1: he's done. That's the last first rounder to sign. They

1021
00:47:14,120 --> 00:47:16,160
Speaker 1: were able to come to an agreement on kind of

1022
00:47:16,200 --> 00:47:18,040
Speaker 1: a compromise there in terms of when the cash was

1023
00:47:18,080 --> 00:47:21,080
Speaker 1: paid out in the offset language. So um, yeah, I

1024
00:47:21,280 --> 00:47:23,760
Speaker 1: don't think it made much sense for either party to

1025
00:47:23,760 --> 00:47:25,840
Speaker 1: to drag that out any longer. So they come to

1026
00:47:25,840 --> 00:47:29,759
Speaker 1: agreement and the Jets get their quarterback coming into camp here.

1027
00:47:29,880 --> 00:47:33,640
Speaker 1: I mean, Buck, there's it's his gig. I mean, it's

1028
00:47:33,680 --> 00:47:36,240
Speaker 1: it's your job. So best to get in there and

1029
00:47:36,400 --> 00:47:39,440
Speaker 1: get cranking. Yeah, get cranking, get to it. Let's let's

1030
00:47:39,480 --> 00:47:43,279
Speaker 1: let's see what it looks like. And so we'll see, man,

1031
00:47:43,360 --> 00:47:46,040
Speaker 1: because we were about the weapons on the outside, do

1032
00:47:46,120 --> 00:47:47,839
Speaker 1: they have enough when now we got the young guy

1033
00:47:47,880 --> 00:47:49,920
Speaker 1: in camp, they can build that chemistry, that report and

1034
00:47:50,000 --> 00:47:52,480
Speaker 1: we'll see. You have three preseason games to get right

1035
00:47:52,520 --> 00:47:55,359
Speaker 1: and hit the ground running. One week one open joint.

1036
00:47:55,360 --> 00:47:57,160
Speaker 1: I think they're doing some joint practice as well, which

1037
00:47:57,200 --> 00:47:59,960
Speaker 1: will be big for him. I want to remind everybody's Saturday,
