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

2
00:00:08,200 --> 00:00:10,559
Speaker 1: What's up, everybody, Welcome to the Move the Sticks Podcast

3
00:00:10,600 --> 00:00:13,600
Speaker 1: presented by the Ford f Series DJ Bucky. Here down

4
00:00:13,600 --> 00:00:17,680
Speaker 1: in Mobile, Alabama, where it's been a busy day of practice, Buck,

5
00:00:17,760 --> 00:00:20,000
Speaker 1: But even before practice, we've got a chance to talk

6
00:00:20,040 --> 00:00:22,160
Speaker 1: to some of the more intriguing names in this draft. Yeah,

7
00:00:22,160 --> 00:00:24,480
Speaker 1: we did. We had a chance to have some interesting conversations.

8
00:00:24,600 --> 00:00:27,880
Speaker 1: Josh Allen stopped by Luke Falk think about Mason Rudolph

9
00:00:27,880 --> 00:00:31,480
Speaker 1: also having a conversation, and then Marcus Davenport, one of

10
00:00:31,480 --> 00:00:33,320
Speaker 1: the guys that a lot of people haven't heard about,

11
00:00:33,360 --> 00:00:35,240
Speaker 1: but surely one of the guys that may hear his

12
00:00:35,320 --> 00:00:37,040
Speaker 1: name called on the first night. Yeah, and overall, it's

13
00:00:37,040 --> 00:00:39,800
Speaker 1: a good group down here at the Reese's Senior Bowl.

14
00:00:39,840 --> 00:00:42,280
Speaker 1: We've seen the one on ones to day I thought

15
00:00:42,280 --> 00:00:44,720
Speaker 1: were fascinating, Buck. I thought Davenport, who you're gonna hear

16
00:00:44,720 --> 00:00:47,880
Speaker 1: from a little bit later on in this episode, was outstanding. Um.

17
00:00:48,240 --> 00:00:50,600
Speaker 1: Some small school guys stepped up to the plate and

18
00:00:50,600 --> 00:00:53,000
Speaker 1: and had big days. It was overall, I thought a

19
00:00:53,040 --> 00:00:54,880
Speaker 1: really impressive day one. Yeah, I thought it was a

20
00:00:54,960 --> 00:00:56,960
Speaker 1: very impressive day one. I think the day, the first

21
00:00:57,040 --> 00:00:58,800
Speaker 1: day is always the toughest day because you have the

22
00:00:58,840 --> 00:01:01,120
Speaker 1: nerves and anxiety and all the things that kind of

23
00:01:01,120 --> 00:01:04,360
Speaker 1: prevent guys from showing themselves at their best. But I

24
00:01:04,360 --> 00:01:05,959
Speaker 1: think as the week goes on, we'll see some of

25
00:01:05,959 --> 00:01:08,880
Speaker 1: these guys pop out and be stars. At the end

26
00:01:08,880 --> 00:01:10,600
Speaker 1: of the week. By the way, we'll have we'll have

27
00:01:10,640 --> 00:01:12,399
Speaker 1: some recap stuff we can tell you about who we

28
00:01:12,480 --> 00:01:15,600
Speaker 1: liked and who was great, who struggled, and everything else

29
00:01:15,640 --> 00:01:18,040
Speaker 1: in between. But I think I think we gotta just

30
00:01:18,120 --> 00:01:20,200
Speaker 1: jump into some of these interviews here and starting with

31
00:01:20,280 --> 00:01:22,640
Speaker 1: Josh Allen, who you'll hear for yourself. I'm anxious to

32
00:01:22,640 --> 00:01:24,640
Speaker 1: get some feedback on Twitter. Just hit us up at

33
00:01:24,680 --> 00:01:27,120
Speaker 1: Bucky Brooks at Moved the Sticks and let us know

34
00:01:27,280 --> 00:01:29,760
Speaker 1: what you think of Josh Allen, because I think he's

35
00:01:29,760 --> 00:01:34,080
Speaker 1: got a real interesting personality. It's a fascinating story, and

36
00:01:34,120 --> 00:01:36,160
Speaker 1: we want in a lot of areas in this chat

37
00:01:36,720 --> 00:01:38,440
Speaker 1: here with the Iman quarterback Josh Allen, one of the

38
00:01:38,440 --> 00:01:41,200
Speaker 1: most intriguing quarterbacks the entire draft class. Gonna hear a

39
00:01:41,200 --> 00:01:44,640
Speaker 1: lot of conversation about this dude as we march forward.

40
00:01:44,800 --> 00:01:47,520
Speaker 1: First question for me, Josh, is just all the noise

41
00:01:47,760 --> 00:01:50,320
Speaker 1: that's been out there from you before the season, during

42
00:01:50,320 --> 00:01:52,720
Speaker 1: the season, and now it picks up again. How are

43
00:01:52,720 --> 00:01:54,640
Speaker 1: you able to block all that stuff out? You know,

44
00:01:54,760 --> 00:01:57,160
Speaker 1: playing football is what I love to do. And when

45
00:01:57,200 --> 00:01:59,400
Speaker 1: I'm on the field and when I'm you know, doing

46
00:01:59,400 --> 00:02:01,200
Speaker 1: what I love to do, none of that really matters.

47
00:02:01,200 --> 00:02:03,040
Speaker 1: And I understand that. I know a lot of people

48
00:02:03,040 --> 00:02:06,000
Speaker 1: have many mixed emotions about me, and they have a

49
00:02:06,000 --> 00:02:09,000
Speaker 1: lot to say. But you know what, I can care

50
00:02:09,080 --> 00:02:10,320
Speaker 1: less to be honest, you know, I'm gonna go out

51
00:02:10,320 --> 00:02:12,360
Speaker 1: and I'm gonna do my thing and I'm play uh football.

52
00:02:12,400 --> 00:02:14,400
Speaker 1: How I know how to play well? How you know

53
00:02:14,400 --> 00:02:17,360
Speaker 1: how to play football is really outstanding in terms of

54
00:02:17,440 --> 00:02:19,799
Speaker 1: your skill set, the tools that you bring to the table.

55
00:02:19,960 --> 00:02:22,320
Speaker 1: I was at your bowl game, had opportunity to watch

56
00:02:22,320 --> 00:02:25,000
Speaker 1: you play. Came out like a household fire. You showed

57
00:02:25,040 --> 00:02:27,480
Speaker 1: everything that people want to see. So when you do

58
00:02:27,600 --> 00:02:30,440
Speaker 1: the self analysis on what you bring to the table,

59
00:02:30,520 --> 00:02:32,520
Speaker 1: what does Josh Allen bring to the table at the quarterback?

60
00:02:32,639 --> 00:02:35,519
Speaker 1: You know, you see the competitive competitiveness that I bring

61
00:02:35,560 --> 00:02:38,000
Speaker 1: to the game, and I'd like to pride myself over that.

62
00:02:38,120 --> 00:02:39,760
Speaker 1: I think if you go and ask any of my

63
00:02:39,760 --> 00:02:42,200
Speaker 1: teammates what you know, the thing that sticks out about

64
00:02:42,240 --> 00:02:44,760
Speaker 1: me is gonna be my competitive nature. And you know

65
00:02:44,760 --> 00:02:46,880
Speaker 1: that's what I try to preach the team. Um you

66
00:02:46,919 --> 00:02:49,760
Speaker 1: see the arm strength and mobility, um, the ability to

67
00:02:49,800 --> 00:02:51,720
Speaker 1: throw on the run and stuff like that. I understand

68
00:02:51,760 --> 00:02:54,200
Speaker 1: that there's some flaws in my game and there's some

69
00:02:54,240 --> 00:02:55,679
Speaker 1: things that gott to fix and I'm working on to

70
00:02:55,760 --> 00:02:57,640
Speaker 1: fix them. But you know that's gonna take time. And

71
00:02:57,720 --> 00:02:59,799
Speaker 1: you know, I definitely don't think I'm the perfect prospect,

72
00:03:00,040 --> 00:03:02,640
Speaker 1: but I definitely think that paired with the right group

73
00:03:02,680 --> 00:03:05,480
Speaker 1: of coaches and um, you know, training wise, throughout this

74
00:03:05,480 --> 00:03:07,399
Speaker 1: whole process, you know, things are gonna go really well

75
00:03:07,400 --> 00:03:09,800
Speaker 1: for me. I want to know what Sunday and Monday

76
00:03:09,840 --> 00:03:12,240
Speaker 1: were like for you this year, because I saw you

77
00:03:12,280 --> 00:03:15,160
Speaker 1: take some monster shots and just kept keep coming back,

78
00:03:15,240 --> 00:03:17,400
Speaker 1: keep coming back, keep coming back, and it looks a

79
00:03:17,400 --> 00:03:19,160
Speaker 1: lot that's in the pocket. Then some of it is

80
00:03:19,200 --> 00:03:21,320
Speaker 1: your own when you get out and run and finishing

81
00:03:21,400 --> 00:03:23,840
Speaker 1: runs like you're thinking marrying Butts or something that you like.

82
00:03:23,880 --> 00:03:29,400
Speaker 1: That old school book was very NOA. He was a

83
00:03:29,400 --> 00:03:30,959
Speaker 1: good running back for the Chargers back in the day.

84
00:03:31,120 --> 00:03:33,720
Speaker 1: No how did your body feel after games? This year?

85
00:03:34,200 --> 00:03:36,560
Speaker 1: Most games were pretty good. There was a few games

86
00:03:36,960 --> 00:03:39,760
Speaker 1: a few games though that Monday decided to, uh, you know,

87
00:03:39,840 --> 00:03:41,760
Speaker 1: talk to coach and he helped me out of practice.

88
00:03:41,840 --> 00:03:44,520
Speaker 1: But you know that that's just part of the game.

89
00:03:44,600 --> 00:03:46,640
Speaker 1: You know, this game is beautifully violent, and I keep

90
00:03:46,640 --> 00:03:49,360
Speaker 1: telling that to people in UM. You know, with all

91
00:03:49,400 --> 00:03:52,680
Speaker 1: the discussions going on about player safety and concussions and

92
00:03:52,680 --> 00:03:54,800
Speaker 1: stuff like that. You know, you decided to make the

93
00:03:54,880 --> 00:03:56,800
Speaker 1: choice to play this game for the reason that you do.

94
00:03:56,840 --> 00:03:58,520
Speaker 1: And I love this game. You know, I'm gonna continue

95
00:03:58,520 --> 00:04:00,920
Speaker 1: to play this game. And uh, you know, getting hits

96
00:04:00,920 --> 00:04:02,440
Speaker 1: part of the game. So that's why I love it.

97
00:04:02,800 --> 00:04:06,440
Speaker 1: You know, you really made a courageous choice. Like you

98
00:04:06,440 --> 00:04:08,320
Speaker 1: were injured at the last part of the season, you

99
00:04:08,400 --> 00:04:11,160
Speaker 1: elected to come back and participate in the bowl game.

100
00:04:11,480 --> 00:04:13,760
Speaker 1: What led you to play in the bowl game? You know,

101
00:04:13,840 --> 00:04:16,200
Speaker 1: I felt that I owed that to my teammates. I

102
00:04:16,200 --> 00:04:18,720
Speaker 1: felt that I owed that to my coaching staff. UM.

103
00:04:18,760 --> 00:04:20,640
Speaker 1: Obviously they were the only team to offer me out

104
00:04:20,640 --> 00:04:23,240
Speaker 1: of junior college, and it's something that I wanted to

105
00:04:23,240 --> 00:04:25,520
Speaker 1: do for them. Was you know, finish my last game

106
00:04:25,520 --> 00:04:27,479
Speaker 1: on a high note and coming back and playing with

107
00:04:27,520 --> 00:04:30,479
Speaker 1: my brothers for one more game. Um, you know it

108
00:04:30,560 --> 00:04:34,880
Speaker 1: went spectacularly. Was you know, a great team win. You

109
00:04:34,920 --> 00:04:37,200
Speaker 1: know it was. It was something fun to play in.

110
00:04:37,200 --> 00:04:40,520
Speaker 1: And I said this after the game in the interview

111
00:04:40,560 --> 00:04:43,000
Speaker 1: that I'm not myself when I'm not playing football, So

112
00:04:43,200 --> 00:04:45,000
Speaker 1: I needed to be back on the field because that's

113
00:04:45,080 --> 00:04:47,400
Speaker 1: what I love to do. How is this offense preparing

114
00:04:47,440 --> 00:04:49,760
Speaker 1: you for the next level? You know, it's it's very similar.

115
00:04:49,839 --> 00:04:52,200
Speaker 1: I think the termprenology is a little different. The things

116
00:04:52,240 --> 00:04:55,720
Speaker 1: that we do, the concepts that we run, um killing plays,

117
00:04:56,120 --> 00:04:59,040
Speaker 1: run checked passes and stuff like that, or run pass checks.

118
00:04:59,480 --> 00:05:02,520
Speaker 1: You know it. It's something that's going to translate very well.

119
00:05:02,560 --> 00:05:05,000
Speaker 1: I've talked to Carson Wentz and he ran the same

120
00:05:05,040 --> 00:05:07,960
Speaker 1: offense that we run Wyoming, and he said the transition

121
00:05:08,000 --> 00:05:10,040
Speaker 1: that he had was fantastic. You know, it's just a

122
00:05:10,080 --> 00:05:12,800
Speaker 1: bit of a change in terminology and you know there's

123
00:05:12,800 --> 00:05:15,320
Speaker 1: a lot more wording in the NFL. But um, you know,

124
00:05:15,400 --> 00:05:17,640
Speaker 1: he he handled all that stuff. You know, I'm not

125
00:05:17,680 --> 00:05:20,520
Speaker 1: saying with ease, but probably better than most other people.

126
00:05:20,600 --> 00:05:22,960
Speaker 1: Probably be the MVP if you didn't get hurt this year.

127
00:05:23,560 --> 00:05:26,680
Speaker 1: So I want to go back because I think it's fascinating.

128
00:05:26,720 --> 00:05:29,600
Speaker 1: You talked about only one offer coming out of JUCO,

129
00:05:29,960 --> 00:05:33,640
Speaker 1: talking about the process of ending up there whoming like

130
00:05:34,440 --> 00:05:35,720
Speaker 1: just kind of lead us to how you got to

131
00:05:35,800 --> 00:05:37,640
Speaker 1: this point. Yeah, So high school, I was in a

132
00:05:37,760 --> 00:05:40,640
Speaker 1: small school. You know, it's probably five to six hundred

133
00:05:40,720 --> 00:05:42,560
Speaker 1: kids in the whole school. Um, just not a lot

134
00:05:42,600 --> 00:05:45,040
Speaker 1: of visibility for college coaches to get out then recruit

135
00:05:45,080 --> 00:05:47,440
Speaker 1: our area. I was kind of a late bloomer, probably

136
00:05:47,480 --> 00:05:50,960
Speaker 1: six five pounds coming out of high school as a senior,

137
00:05:51,040 --> 00:05:53,040
Speaker 1: so you know, I put in put on a good

138
00:05:53,040 --> 00:05:54,840
Speaker 1: twenty pounds and probably grew about an inch and a

139
00:05:54,880 --> 00:05:57,960
Speaker 1: half going into my first semester at JUCO, which was

140
00:05:58,040 --> 00:06:01,320
Speaker 1: which was pretty big, you know. Um. Then obviously it

141
00:06:01,320 --> 00:06:03,200
Speaker 1: didn't start the first three or four games at my

142
00:06:03,279 --> 00:06:05,760
Speaker 1: junior college, and you know that sometimes it was just

143
00:06:05,800 --> 00:06:07,800
Speaker 1: like I don't know what's going on. I don't understand

144
00:06:07,800 --> 00:06:10,400
Speaker 1: why I'm not playing. You know, I stuck to the process.

145
00:06:10,480 --> 00:06:12,680
Speaker 1: I I trusted, you know, what my family was telling me,

146
00:06:12,760 --> 00:06:15,440
Speaker 1: what my coaches were saying. UM. Very patient the whole

147
00:06:15,480 --> 00:06:18,080
Speaker 1: process and got my chance and never looked back. And

148
00:06:18,240 --> 00:06:19,960
Speaker 1: there was a few teams coming out and talking to

149
00:06:20,000 --> 00:06:22,640
Speaker 1: me and seeing me, but nothing too serious, and why

150
00:06:22,680 --> 00:06:24,080
Speaker 1: I'm in calling and said we're gonna fly you out

151
00:06:24,080 --> 00:06:26,040
Speaker 1: and off you and you know it was done. Deal

152
00:06:26,120 --> 00:06:28,480
Speaker 1: in two weeks. I'm gonna I'm gonna test your memory

153
00:06:28,480 --> 00:06:30,360
Speaker 1: a little bit. So I called his game this year

154
00:06:30,440 --> 00:06:32,960
Speaker 1: against Texas State. I went down there and we'ch had

155
00:06:32,960 --> 00:06:34,760
Speaker 1: a little bit before the game down there on the field,

156
00:06:34,839 --> 00:06:36,920
Speaker 1: and then I'd gave you just a couple of things

157
00:06:36,920 --> 00:06:38,839
Speaker 1: just from watching tape that that I saw. Just if

158
00:06:38,880 --> 00:06:40,400
Speaker 1: you can remember one thing, Humber, one thing that I

159
00:06:40,440 --> 00:06:42,960
Speaker 1: told you on the field before they finishing play finishing,

160
00:06:43,040 --> 00:06:47,800
Speaker 1: run finishes, run fix. So I wouldn't saw him after

161
00:06:47,800 --> 00:06:49,279
Speaker 1: the game. I was like, hey man, nice job out there.

162
00:06:49,279 --> 00:06:53,160
Speaker 1: You go. You see my run fix QB coach. Look,

163
00:06:53,160 --> 00:06:54,920
Speaker 1: he doesn't need a QUB coach. I just did a

164
00:06:54,960 --> 00:06:57,039
Speaker 1: little little little thing and he he cleaned it up.

165
00:06:57,200 --> 00:06:59,080
Speaker 1: So to their point, it's funny because I went out,

166
00:06:59,160 --> 00:07:01,360
Speaker 1: I was at your game early at the bowl game,

167
00:07:01,440 --> 00:07:04,240
Speaker 1: and so I have never seen a quarterback put on

168
00:07:04,440 --> 00:07:07,760
Speaker 1: an exhibition in pre game. You guys were like at

169
00:07:07,760 --> 00:07:10,800
Speaker 1: the fifty yard line throwing god balls. We called it

170
00:07:11,360 --> 00:07:13,920
Speaker 1: scouting crack to finish it all. That's how you guys.

171
00:07:14,280 --> 00:07:18,360
Speaker 1: You always kind of a kind of display. That's that's

172
00:07:18,400 --> 00:07:21,240
Speaker 1: that's a warming deal. It was unbelievable to watch you

173
00:07:21,320 --> 00:07:24,080
Speaker 1: drop the ball in the bucket fifty yards away to

174
00:07:24,120 --> 00:07:26,880
Speaker 1: wide receivers streaking down right in front of the popline.

175
00:07:26,880 --> 00:07:30,840
Speaker 1: I I just had never seen anybody. Well, that's what

176
00:07:30,880 --> 00:07:33,760
Speaker 1: we do before every every game, after we get our

177
00:07:33,760 --> 00:07:35,960
Speaker 1: punt formation out, you know, the receiver staying at the

178
00:07:37,200 --> 00:07:38,920
Speaker 1: guard line. I dropped back and then I checked that

179
00:07:38,960 --> 00:07:43,200
Speaker 1: thing up there. You know, I think before pre game,

180
00:07:43,240 --> 00:07:45,280
Speaker 1: when we're doing like our single stuff is actually when

181
00:07:45,280 --> 00:07:47,400
Speaker 1: I actually get my real thrown in. Yeah, that's when

182
00:07:47,400 --> 00:07:49,640
Speaker 1: I kind of pushed the ball a little further. Actually, Yeah,

183
00:07:49,680 --> 00:07:51,680
Speaker 1: because I was there, I was like, this dude is like,

184
00:07:51,760 --> 00:07:55,520
Speaker 1: I mean, it's easy to talk, easy gas. Just yeah.

185
00:07:56,480 --> 00:07:58,480
Speaker 1: I just had never seen anyone like, you know what,

186
00:07:58,760 --> 00:08:00,440
Speaker 1: I don't know who's here, but I'm would just let

187
00:08:00,520 --> 00:08:02,840
Speaker 1: them know. It reminded me of being in high school

188
00:08:02,880 --> 00:08:04,600
Speaker 1: and doing basketball one up, where you want to show

189
00:08:04,600 --> 00:08:06,360
Speaker 1: everybody that you can don't, but you can't really don't.

190
00:08:06,600 --> 00:08:13,600
Speaker 1: So I was like, Josh, all is out here? Did

191
00:08:13,600 --> 00:08:15,360
Speaker 1: you in high school hoops right, you play ups in

192
00:08:15,440 --> 00:08:17,920
Speaker 1: high school, you know, some of them had the backboard

193
00:08:17,920 --> 00:08:19,480
Speaker 1: that was right at the rim where it stopped, and

194
00:08:19,520 --> 00:08:21,960
Speaker 1: some of them had the glass. I like the ones

195
00:08:22,040 --> 00:08:23,960
Speaker 1: below because I get the double tap on laid up

196
00:08:25,480 --> 00:08:27,920
Speaker 1: as that was my jam. Absolutely all right, I want

197
00:08:27,920 --> 00:08:29,640
Speaker 1: to get it. This is two nice Let's get to

198
00:08:29,760 --> 00:08:32,120
Speaker 1: some tough stuff here. So going back through, I went

199
00:08:32,160 --> 00:08:33,520
Speaker 1: and looked at a cut up of all your third

200
00:08:33,520 --> 00:08:35,560
Speaker 1: and six plus, right, so you kind of eliminate these

201
00:08:35,559 --> 00:08:38,560
Speaker 1: are this is big boy football challenging. So the two

202
00:08:38,640 --> 00:08:40,520
Speaker 1: things that that I came away with the said, Okay,

203
00:08:40,520 --> 00:08:42,600
Speaker 1: I'm looking forward to seeing how Josh improves in these

204
00:08:42,600 --> 00:08:44,400
Speaker 1: two areas, and I want to get your thoughts on

205
00:08:44,440 --> 00:08:47,040
Speaker 1: him and what your game playing episode, uh one was

206
00:08:47,080 --> 00:08:49,120
Speaker 1: I thought there were times where you got stuck. So

207
00:08:49,160 --> 00:08:51,160
Speaker 1: you're working through your progression, you got kind of locked

208
00:08:51,200 --> 00:08:53,120
Speaker 1: and you got stuck a couple of times. That was one.

209
00:08:53,520 --> 00:08:56,160
Speaker 1: And the second thing I noticed was your arm is

210
00:08:56,200 --> 00:08:58,560
Speaker 1: so big at some point and sometimes I see you're

211
00:08:58,600 --> 00:09:01,760
Speaker 1: just getting a little over at that time. Give me

212
00:09:01,760 --> 00:09:04,160
Speaker 1: your game plan, what where I am with that, where

213
00:09:04,160 --> 00:09:05,880
Speaker 1: you are with that, and where you go forward. Yeah,

214
00:09:05,920 --> 00:09:09,080
Speaker 1: So going back to getting stuck on reads and you know,

215
00:09:09,160 --> 00:09:11,760
Speaker 1: getting into my second and third reading my progression. Sometimes

216
00:09:11,800 --> 00:09:13,959
Speaker 1: I just felt that, you know, I'm sitting here, I'm

217
00:09:14,000 --> 00:09:15,800
Speaker 1: I'm ready to get hit. You know, I feel like

218
00:09:15,960 --> 00:09:19,040
Speaker 1: I didn't trust my line enough. Um. There's some instances

219
00:09:19,040 --> 00:09:21,360
Speaker 1: where obviously I saw a color and had to flash

220
00:09:21,360 --> 00:09:23,080
Speaker 1: and get out, and uh, you know that was just

221
00:09:23,200 --> 00:09:25,520
Speaker 1: kind of the result of you know, um, you know,

222
00:09:25,640 --> 00:09:27,959
Speaker 1: feeling bullets around me. And then it's constantly what I

223
00:09:28,080 --> 00:09:30,280
Speaker 1: felt going back to high school. That's what I've done.

224
00:09:30,360 --> 00:09:32,760
Speaker 1: You know, I've seen in flash and color, I'm getting out.

225
00:09:32,760 --> 00:09:35,000
Speaker 1: I'm gonna try to make a play. So that that's

226
00:09:35,080 --> 00:09:36,400
Speaker 1: one of the emphasis that I tried to make this

227
00:09:36,440 --> 00:09:38,000
Speaker 1: year was trying to stay in the pocket and go

228
00:09:38,040 --> 00:09:40,480
Speaker 1: through my reads, and um, you know, there to a

229
00:09:40,520 --> 00:09:42,840
Speaker 1: certain point I did that, but when I got to

230
00:09:43,000 --> 00:09:45,120
Speaker 1: probably number two and three, most times it was like

231
00:09:45,400 --> 00:09:47,320
Speaker 1: he's not coming open, and I don't know if I

232
00:09:47,320 --> 00:09:49,400
Speaker 1: can get to this fourth one, So I don't know

233
00:09:49,400 --> 00:09:50,960
Speaker 1: what I'm gonna do. I'm gonna hold onto this ball

234
00:09:51,000 --> 00:09:54,080
Speaker 1: and not forced to turn over. Um. Yeah. So and

235
00:09:54,120 --> 00:09:57,040
Speaker 1: then um, I was the second just like like some

236
00:09:57,120 --> 00:09:59,120
Speaker 1: hero throws, just where you just saying Okay, I can

237
00:09:59,120 --> 00:10:00,559
Speaker 1: get it, and I think I can get it, not

238
00:10:00,679 --> 00:10:02,360
Speaker 1: get that one. Yeah, I mean that's just kind of

239
00:10:02,600 --> 00:10:05,160
Speaker 1: knowing the limitations of playing quarterback and the type of

240
00:10:05,160 --> 00:10:07,600
Speaker 1: bond that I have. Obviously it's it's a bigger arm.

241
00:10:07,800 --> 00:10:10,400
Speaker 1: And you know, I experience a lot of you know,

242
00:10:10,480 --> 00:10:13,600
Speaker 1: failure my first year, you know, seventeen interceptions I elimitated,

243
00:10:13,960 --> 00:10:16,800
Speaker 1: eliminated most of those. I threw six this past season,

244
00:10:17,000 --> 00:10:19,320
Speaker 1: and that was just me knowing that there's some throws

245
00:10:19,360 --> 00:10:21,320
Speaker 1: that I can't make. There's some throws that I shouldn't make,

246
00:10:21,600 --> 00:10:23,720
Speaker 1: holding on the ball, throwing the ball away a lot

247
00:10:23,760 --> 00:10:25,360
Speaker 1: more of this past season is what's kind of helped

248
00:10:25,360 --> 00:10:28,760
Speaker 1: me out. But obviously continuing UH to kind of handle

249
00:10:28,800 --> 00:10:31,520
Speaker 1: that process. UM, coming up to the combine and being

250
00:10:31,559 --> 00:10:34,040
Speaker 1: able to tell everybody about this is um, you know,

251
00:10:34,120 --> 00:10:36,319
Speaker 1: really what I'm trying to do. So I know you're

252
00:10:36,320 --> 00:10:38,439
Speaker 1: gonna get this. Being in this profession. We've both been in,

253
00:10:38,600 --> 00:10:40,520
Speaker 1: so we know the question you're gonna get. People are

254
00:10:40,520 --> 00:10:42,960
Speaker 1: gonna try and get under your skin, and the question

255
00:10:43,040 --> 00:10:47,080
Speaker 1: is going to be every time you guys stepped up Nebraska, Oregon, Um,

256
00:10:47,160 --> 00:10:49,559
Speaker 1: what's the other Iowa? So you're gonna get that they're

257
00:10:49,559 --> 00:10:51,839
Speaker 1: gonna see five teams. If that riles you up, they're

258
00:10:51,840 --> 00:10:53,800
Speaker 1: gonna try and get under your skin. What's been your

259
00:10:53,800 --> 00:10:55,640
Speaker 1: answer so far? I'm sure you'vely have you already got

260
00:10:55,679 --> 00:10:59,840
Speaker 1: that already? UM A few times? Yeah, And uh, you know,

261
00:10:59,880 --> 00:11:03,440
Speaker 1: I just understand that sometimes in those in those games,

262
00:11:03,480 --> 00:11:05,200
Speaker 1: I felt that I needed to make more plays than

263
00:11:05,240 --> 00:11:08,640
Speaker 1: I probably should have. And you know, I hold myself

264
00:11:08,679 --> 00:11:11,000
Speaker 1: to I understandard and I understand that when we step

265
00:11:11,000 --> 00:11:14,160
Speaker 1: on the field that you know, this game is it's

266
00:11:14,160 --> 00:11:15,880
Speaker 1: gonna be tough one and I gotta go out there

267
00:11:15,880 --> 00:11:18,240
Speaker 1: and make plays. And sometimes I pressed, um and I

268
00:11:18,280 --> 00:11:20,840
Speaker 1: probably shouldn't have, you know. But at the same time,

269
00:11:20,880 --> 00:11:22,679
Speaker 1: you look at the Mountain West team and you look

270
00:11:22,720 --> 00:11:25,560
Speaker 1: at Power five teams, Um, I wouldn't say they're all

271
00:11:25,600 --> 00:11:28,000
Speaker 1: that much different. You know. They they've got depth in

272
00:11:28,040 --> 00:11:30,040
Speaker 1: the Power five and one guy can go out and

273
00:11:30,040 --> 00:11:32,520
Speaker 1: they're gonna replace him with somebody that's not gonna miss

274
00:11:32,520 --> 00:11:34,400
Speaker 1: a step. When Mountain West, it could change a team,

275
00:11:34,400 --> 00:11:37,920
Speaker 1: it could change a defense. So UM, you know it's

276
00:11:37,960 --> 00:11:39,760
Speaker 1: I understand that the question is gonna come up, and

277
00:11:39,800 --> 00:11:42,280
Speaker 1: I know the stats don't look good against Power five teams,

278
00:11:42,559 --> 00:11:45,600
Speaker 1: but we played some some pretty good teams and uh,

279
00:11:45,800 --> 00:11:48,200
Speaker 1: you know Iowa this year was they were a damn

280
00:11:48,240 --> 00:11:50,240
Speaker 1: good football team on defense, and they had some really

281
00:11:50,240 --> 00:11:53,200
Speaker 1: good players in Josh Jackson and Jose Jewel. That's the best,

282
00:11:53,280 --> 00:11:56,400
Speaker 1: you know, defensive player I've ever played against. He was

283
00:11:56,600 --> 00:11:58,680
Speaker 1: all over the field, and um, they were able to

284
00:11:58,679 --> 00:12:00,720
Speaker 1: get some pressure on me. And you know, when I,

285
00:12:00,840 --> 00:12:02,760
Speaker 1: like I said, when when I feel those live bullets

286
00:12:02,800 --> 00:12:04,760
Speaker 1: coming at me, there's one instinct for me, and that's

287
00:12:04,760 --> 00:12:06,840
Speaker 1: to get out. And that's what I'm trying to tame

288
00:12:06,880 --> 00:12:09,319
Speaker 1: in this next process. Okay, so let's let's take all

289
00:12:09,360 --> 00:12:12,079
Speaker 1: of that. So all of those experiences, those big game experiences.

290
00:12:12,160 --> 00:12:14,320
Speaker 1: Now we're in the senior ball So now you're playing

291
00:12:14,320 --> 00:12:16,760
Speaker 1: against the best of the best. But the difference is

292
00:12:17,280 --> 00:12:19,560
Speaker 1: you have some dudes with you. So how do you

293
00:12:19,640 --> 00:12:22,920
Speaker 1: harness that gun slinger mentality that you kind of developed

294
00:12:22,960 --> 00:12:25,640
Speaker 1: because you're kind of been on underman squads to now

295
00:12:25,760 --> 00:12:27,880
Speaker 1: you're dude with a bunch of dudes around you that

296
00:12:27,960 --> 00:12:30,560
Speaker 1: you can let them kind of do what they do.

297
00:12:30,880 --> 00:12:32,360
Speaker 1: How tough is that going to be for you to

298
00:12:32,440 --> 00:12:34,199
Speaker 1: change your mindset? I don't think it's gonna be too

299
00:12:34,520 --> 00:12:36,600
Speaker 1: too tough. Um, you know, the big thing and this

300
00:12:36,720 --> 00:12:39,240
Speaker 1: is just trusting and those around you. And and obviously

301
00:12:39,240 --> 00:12:40,560
Speaker 1: we got some guys that are gonna go make some

302
00:12:40,559 --> 00:12:42,360
Speaker 1: plays when I'm throwing the ball up and they've got

303
00:12:42,360 --> 00:12:45,000
Speaker 1: a big catch radius. Mostly. I know, we've had a

304
00:12:45,000 --> 00:12:47,439
Speaker 1: couple of six five six six guys at the white

305
00:12:47,440 --> 00:12:50,520
Speaker 1: out position. We've got some really good dudes at tight

306
00:12:50,600 --> 00:12:52,920
Speaker 1: end to UM. So, I mean, it's just gonna it's

307
00:12:52,920 --> 00:12:54,520
Speaker 1: gonna be fun being able to throw these guys and

308
00:12:54,600 --> 00:12:56,720
Speaker 1: understand that, you know, these are the type of guys

309
00:12:56,720 --> 00:12:59,520
Speaker 1: that gonna be thrown with for my um NFL career

310
00:12:59,559 --> 00:13:01,679
Speaker 1: and this kind of where it all starts. Okay, so

311
00:13:01,720 --> 00:13:04,199
Speaker 1: now we we have that that you're surrounded by guys.

312
00:13:04,240 --> 00:13:06,600
Speaker 1: But let's talk about that quarterback rom because you have

313
00:13:06,640 --> 00:13:09,200
Speaker 1: a bunch of alpha dogs in the quarterback room. Everyone

314
00:13:09,280 --> 00:13:12,040
Speaker 1: is gunning for that top spot. How are you going

315
00:13:12,120 --> 00:13:16,360
Speaker 1: to handle the internal and external pressure of I'm competing

316
00:13:16,360 --> 00:13:18,760
Speaker 1: with dudes while we're still in this game to kind

317
00:13:18,800 --> 00:13:20,880
Speaker 1: of get it done. You know, I'm gonna be myself

318
00:13:21,200 --> 00:13:24,200
Speaker 1: and I definitely think when I'm on UM, I'm one

319
00:13:24,200 --> 00:13:25,720
Speaker 1: of the best quarterbacks in the nation. I think I'm

320
00:13:25,720 --> 00:13:27,360
Speaker 1: the best quarterback in the nation when them on And

321
00:13:27,760 --> 00:13:28,880
Speaker 1: you know, that's what I've been kind of dealing with

322
00:13:29,000 --> 00:13:31,400
Speaker 1: Jordan Palmer these past a few weeks is cleaning up

323
00:13:31,440 --> 00:13:34,480
Speaker 1: my throwing motion, the mechanics, everything like that. And when

324
00:13:34,480 --> 00:13:37,760
Speaker 1: I've got a good stroke, when I'm when I'm consistent

325
00:13:37,800 --> 00:13:39,679
Speaker 1: with my stroke come from me and to consistently throw

326
00:13:39,720 --> 00:13:42,200
Speaker 1: the ball with accuracy. Uh So that's what it kind

327
00:13:42,200 --> 00:13:44,240
Speaker 1: of comes down to. Everybody knows that I've got, you know,

328
00:13:44,280 --> 00:13:46,120
Speaker 1: the strong arm. They know I can throw the ball

329
00:13:46,200 --> 00:13:48,960
Speaker 1: how many you know, how many every yards? Um, I

330
00:13:48,960 --> 00:13:50,600
Speaker 1: think this is the time where you know, it takes

331
00:13:50,600 --> 00:13:52,720
Speaker 1: some takes them off of it and try to show

332
00:13:52,720 --> 00:13:54,400
Speaker 1: people that I can place the ball where I want

333
00:13:54,400 --> 00:13:55,839
Speaker 1: to place it when it needs to be placed. There.

334
00:13:56,400 --> 00:13:58,800
Speaker 1: You mentioned Jordan Palmer. You now Sam's working out down

335
00:13:58,800 --> 00:14:01,400
Speaker 1: there to Sam Donal. What's your relationship been like with

336
00:14:01,440 --> 00:14:03,960
Speaker 1: Sam and going through this process with him. It's been great,

337
00:14:04,280 --> 00:14:06,560
Speaker 1: it really has been. And um, you know, Sam's a

338
00:14:06,559 --> 00:14:09,160
Speaker 1: great kid, he comes from a great family. And being

339
00:14:09,200 --> 00:14:11,400
Speaker 1: able to go out there and compete against him and

340
00:14:11,440 --> 00:14:14,800
Speaker 1: it's two is um you know, highly regarded as we are.

341
00:14:15,080 --> 00:14:18,160
Speaker 1: There's no tension, and we understand that we both have flaws,

342
00:14:18,200 --> 00:14:19,760
Speaker 1: we both want to be better, and we both you know,

343
00:14:19,880 --> 00:14:22,640
Speaker 1: do things better than each other. And uh, you know,

344
00:14:22,640 --> 00:14:24,800
Speaker 1: we're just trying to raise our levels because ultimately we're

345
00:14:24,840 --> 00:14:27,000
Speaker 1: not competing against each other right now. We know that,

346
00:14:27,080 --> 00:14:29,880
Speaker 1: and we understand that, you know, somebody's gonna go higher

347
00:14:29,880 --> 00:14:32,920
Speaker 1: than the other, and uh, that's that's all perfectly fine

348
00:14:32,960 --> 00:14:34,720
Speaker 1: because it's not about going higher. It's going to the

349
00:14:34,840 --> 00:14:37,320
Speaker 1: right team. And we understand that completely, no question, buck

350
00:14:37,520 --> 00:14:39,600
Speaker 1: and jump one more here real quick from me. Have

351
00:14:39,680 --> 00:14:41,680
Speaker 1: you met Have you met Baker here yet? I have

352
00:14:41,760 --> 00:14:44,520
Speaker 1: not yet? You have you met him before? Never? So

353
00:14:44,640 --> 00:14:46,080
Speaker 1: this for those who don't know, you guys are gonna

354
00:14:46,080 --> 00:14:48,960
Speaker 1: be on the same team coach by Denver Broncos. Correct,

355
00:14:49,200 --> 00:14:52,200
Speaker 1: So you're gonna get a chance to talk about competing. Man.

356
00:14:52,240 --> 00:14:54,120
Speaker 1: You you guys might be competing for the team for

357
00:14:54,160 --> 00:14:57,120
Speaker 1: that for that spot, for that position in the draft. Um,

358
00:14:57,480 --> 00:14:59,800
Speaker 1: how how fun is that? Gonna be just a competitor

359
00:14:59,840 --> 00:15:01,280
Speaker 1: and you're getting to know, Hey, I gotta do right

360
00:15:01,320 --> 00:15:03,400
Speaker 1: next to me. We're joking for a position here. I

361
00:15:03,440 --> 00:15:05,040
Speaker 1: love it. I love competing and That's why I love

362
00:15:05,040 --> 00:15:07,160
Speaker 1: football because you get to compete in every aspect on

363
00:15:08,080 --> 00:15:10,360
Speaker 1: you know, who's learning the playbook better and faster and

364
00:15:10,360 --> 00:15:12,360
Speaker 1: then going on the field, who's making the better throws

365
00:15:12,400 --> 00:15:15,360
Speaker 1: and understand that you know the concepts that we're running.

366
00:15:15,360 --> 00:15:17,880
Speaker 1: So it's it's gonna be great. And that's the reason

367
00:15:17,880 --> 00:15:19,320
Speaker 1: why I came here is to compete. You know, I'm

368
00:15:19,320 --> 00:15:21,800
Speaker 1: not gonna, you know, sit down and bow down to anybody.

369
00:15:21,840 --> 00:15:24,160
Speaker 1: So this is it's gonna be fun. I heard it

370
00:15:24,160 --> 00:15:26,320
Speaker 1: bowed down. See it always comes out like we talked

371
00:15:26,360 --> 00:15:29,440
Speaker 1: about it, like, oh, Alpha's we're gonna be fine. It changed,

372
00:15:29,960 --> 00:15:31,480
Speaker 1: It has changed when you get on the field. So

373
00:15:31,800 --> 00:15:33,840
Speaker 1: if you had one goal that you want for the week,

374
00:15:33,880 --> 00:15:36,160
Speaker 1: what do you want scouts to walk away from thinking

375
00:15:36,160 --> 00:15:38,760
Speaker 1: about Josh Allen? This guy is gonna figure it out. Um,

376
00:15:39,080 --> 00:15:41,040
Speaker 1: this guy is gonna be He's gonna be the guy.

377
00:15:41,040 --> 00:15:43,760
Speaker 1: And that's what I want people thinking. Um, you know,

378
00:15:43,880 --> 00:15:46,160
Speaker 1: I want people to see the type of person I am,

379
00:15:46,200 --> 00:15:48,960
Speaker 1: and I like, I pride myself on that my parents

380
00:15:49,080 --> 00:15:50,840
Speaker 1: raised me the right way, and I'm gonna treat people

381
00:15:50,840 --> 00:15:53,040
Speaker 1: with respect. You know that that that that they deserve.

382
00:15:53,160 --> 00:15:55,360
Speaker 1: So you know, just getting in there and meeting all

383
00:15:55,360 --> 00:15:58,760
Speaker 1: the guys and um, trying to develop some relationships with everybody,

384
00:15:58,760 --> 00:16:00,760
Speaker 1: and uh yeah, just going out there and balling out.

385
00:16:01,000 --> 00:16:02,920
Speaker 1: All right, let's put you in a situation. Games on

386
00:16:02,960 --> 00:16:06,400
Speaker 1: the line. UM, let's say it's even the Senior Bowl

387
00:16:06,480 --> 00:16:08,400
Speaker 1: this week. You got a chance last drive going on

388
00:16:08,520 --> 00:16:11,240
Speaker 1: and win the game. Play call that you're familiar with,

389
00:16:11,280 --> 00:16:13,320
Speaker 1: the route that you like. What ball do you want

390
00:16:13,320 --> 00:16:16,840
Speaker 1: to throw as the walk off winner? I'm in depending

391
00:16:16,920 --> 00:16:22,360
Speaker 1: on coverage, if we're going whatever you want, what we're going,

392
00:16:22,440 --> 00:16:25,080
Speaker 1: gun right out six to come with falcon right, our

393
00:16:25,200 --> 00:16:27,480
Speaker 1: falcon gun right out six, come with falcon left. I'm

394
00:16:27,480 --> 00:16:30,520
Speaker 1: throwing the inside faith on the left side, faiths from

395
00:16:30,560 --> 00:16:32,560
Speaker 1: the inside. Buck. We talked about it forever we do.

396
00:16:32,400 --> 00:16:34,280
Speaker 1: We take candy from a baby. It really is. It's

397
00:16:34,320 --> 00:16:36,600
Speaker 1: the easiest route. All that real estate out there and

398
00:16:36,600 --> 00:16:38,640
Speaker 1: put it in anywhere you want, and the receivers looking

399
00:16:38,680 --> 00:16:40,320
Speaker 1: back at you and the DBS looking at the receiver.

400
00:16:40,440 --> 00:16:42,880
Speaker 1: So it's the toughest route to cover in my opinion.

401
00:16:42,960 --> 00:16:44,600
Speaker 1: All Right, dude, Hey, it's great to catch up with it.

402

Speaker 1: Thanks for having me. Guys, Well, we gotta explain. First

409
00:17:02,000 --> 00:17:03,600
Speaker 1: of all, what's going on with your with your wrist

410
00:17:03,640 --> 00:17:05,879
Speaker 1: haar your hands? So we had an injury kept you

411
00:17:05,920 --> 00:17:07,960
Speaker 1: out of the bowl game unfortunately, and I still used

412
00:17:07,960 --> 00:17:09,800
Speaker 1: to got some hardware going on over there. Yeah, yeah,

413
00:17:09,880 --> 00:17:11,879
Speaker 1: I still got the cast on, but I broke it

414
00:17:11,920 --> 00:17:14,119
Speaker 1: back in September and our second game. Was able to

415
00:17:14,119 --> 00:17:16,800
Speaker 1: play all year with it. Uh, got some scans back

416
00:17:16,880 --> 00:17:18,400
Speaker 1: and just said I had to get the surgery before

417
00:17:18,400 --> 00:17:21,080
Speaker 1: the bowl game and try to go. But I was

418
00:17:21,119 --> 00:17:23,600
Speaker 1: deemed uh you know, not cleared by our doctor and

419
00:17:23,600 --> 00:17:25,359
Speaker 1: then uh, you know, how to miss it. So not

420
00:17:25,400 --> 00:17:26,879
Speaker 1: the way I wanted to end my college career. But

421
00:17:26,920 --> 00:17:28,359
Speaker 1: I had a heck of a time up in Pullman

422
00:17:28,440 --> 00:17:31,080
Speaker 1: and really appreciate all the love and support there. How's

423
00:17:31,080 --> 00:17:33,200
Speaker 1: everything progressing. How do you feel? How do you feel

424
00:17:33,240 --> 00:17:35,959
Speaker 1: coming into the week. I feel great. I mean, um,

425
00:17:36,000 --> 00:17:38,119
Speaker 1: it's been really fun to learn and pro style offense

426
00:17:38,160 --> 00:17:40,000
Speaker 1: and you know, do something different from the air raid

427
00:17:40,080 --> 00:17:42,120
Speaker 1: and really challenge myself in that way. I mean, there's

428
00:17:42,119 --> 00:17:43,960
Speaker 1: a lot to learn, but it's I love foot by,

429
00:17:43,960 --> 00:17:46,080
Speaker 1: I love ball and so I'm just eating this stuff

430
00:17:46,160 --> 00:17:47,919
Speaker 1: up right now. You know, I'm down here trying to

431
00:17:47,960 --> 00:17:50,360
Speaker 1: just uh, you know, learn the most I can and

432
00:17:50,359 --> 00:17:52,040
Speaker 1: and you know, really get my feet wet in an

433
00:17:52,080 --> 00:17:55,680
Speaker 1: offense type like this. How how different is what you're

434
00:17:55,760 --> 00:17:58,439
Speaker 1: learning down here from what you were in at the

435
00:17:58,480 --> 00:18:00,720
Speaker 1: air raid. We hear so much about air raiding, Airrea

436
00:18:00,840 --> 00:18:03,880
Speaker 1: quarterbacks making the transition. How different have the concepts being

437
00:18:03,920 --> 00:18:06,800
Speaker 1: for you? I mean, um, I mean I think a

438
00:18:06,840 --> 00:18:08,639
Speaker 1: lot of it's just you're under center and you're you know,

439
00:18:08,640 --> 00:18:10,600
Speaker 1: you've got a few more run concepts. I think from

440
00:18:10,640 --> 00:18:12,800
Speaker 1: a passing standpoint, I mean, nobody does it better than

441
00:18:12,800 --> 00:18:15,240
Speaker 1: the air raid in terms of slinging around. I mean,

442
00:18:15,280 --> 00:18:18,120
Speaker 1: we're a pure progression team, but you know you can

443
00:18:18,160 --> 00:18:20,800
Speaker 1: make uh you know, with the coverages and stuff like that,

444
00:18:20,840 --> 00:18:22,359
Speaker 1: you can go off of where you reach should be

445
00:18:22,640 --> 00:18:25,080
Speaker 1: a pure progression standpoint. It's the same thing in the NFL.

446
00:18:25,119 --> 00:18:26,439
Speaker 1: I mean, you're gonna have a one or two or

447
00:18:26,440 --> 00:18:28,119
Speaker 1: three based off of what the coverage are doing. So

448
00:18:28,119 --> 00:18:30,359
Speaker 1: I don't think that's anything different. I think it's just

449
00:18:30,400 --> 00:18:33,840
Speaker 1: taking snaps under center. It's it's learning the verbage. It's

450
00:18:33,840 --> 00:18:36,160
Speaker 1: it's a con a long, long play call out and

451
00:18:36,280 --> 00:18:38,520
Speaker 1: uh and going from there. We had a chance to

452
00:18:38,520 --> 00:18:40,080
Speaker 1: talk over the summer and one of the things I

453
00:18:40,119 --> 00:18:42,880
Speaker 1: was fascinating just listening to you go through the having

454
00:18:42,920 --> 00:18:44,400
Speaker 1: the keys of the car at the line of scrimmage,

455
00:18:44,440 --> 00:18:46,760
Speaker 1: especially in regards to the run games. So for those

456
00:18:46,800 --> 00:18:49,080
Speaker 1: that don't understand, I think they think of Mike Leach

457
00:18:49,119 --> 00:18:50,960
Speaker 1: and they see the place sheet that's about this big

458
00:18:51,359 --> 00:18:54,000
Speaker 1: and got the little marks on it and stuff. Yeah,

459
00:18:54,080 --> 00:18:55,919
Speaker 1: just a little type. They think they they got. You

460
00:18:55,960 --> 00:18:57,640
Speaker 1: guys have four plays and you run them out there.

461
00:18:57,840 --> 00:19:00,600
Speaker 1: But just give the folks are to listen that don't know, uh,

462
00:19:00,680 --> 00:19:02,080
Speaker 1: what it's like for you with the line of scrimmage

463
00:19:02,119 --> 00:19:04,359
Speaker 1: in the control that you have there. Yeah. Well, you know,

464
00:19:04,400 --> 00:19:06,359
Speaker 1: in my time, we don't call very many runs. I

465
00:19:06,400 --> 00:19:07,960
Speaker 1: mean a lot of the run checks are on us.

466
00:19:08,000 --> 00:19:10,080
Speaker 1: And you know, I'm proud to say that my junior

467
00:19:10,080 --> 00:19:13,040
Speaker 1: and senior year we rushed for a thousand yards both years.

468
00:19:13,040 --> 00:19:15,360
Speaker 1: And then had a thousand yards passing with the running backs.

469
00:19:15,400 --> 00:19:17,760
Speaker 1: So we really used aalize some of our best players.

470
00:19:17,800 --> 00:19:19,920
Speaker 1: And uh, I think that's really all the areas about.

471
00:19:19,920 --> 00:19:21,760
Speaker 1: It's about getting guys a ball in space, and if

472
00:19:21,760 --> 00:19:24,359
Speaker 1: you do that, it's a beautiful offense. You know, people

473
00:19:24,480 --> 00:19:27,040
Speaker 1: do kind of knock that system for being simple, but

474
00:19:27,080 --> 00:19:29,480
Speaker 1: when I see I do see outstanding production. And maybe

475
00:19:29,480 --> 00:19:32,760
Speaker 1: there's something too the simplicity allowing the quarterback to play

476
00:19:32,800 --> 00:19:35,880
Speaker 1: really really well. You talked about the verbage that they've

477
00:19:35,880 --> 00:19:37,879
Speaker 1: been given you here. Do you feel like some of

478
00:19:37,880 --> 00:19:40,160
Speaker 1: the verbage that you hear is a little unnecessary based

479
00:19:40,160 --> 00:19:42,080
Speaker 1: on the system that you come out of. Uh, At

480
00:19:42,240 --> 00:19:44,640
Speaker 1: times it seems like, uh, you know, all the individual

481
00:19:44,680 --> 00:19:46,440
Speaker 1: tax and stuff. I think, Uh, you know, I'm not

482
00:19:46,520 --> 00:19:48,720
Speaker 1: knocking any system. I think if we met somewhere in

483
00:19:48,760 --> 00:19:51,040
Speaker 1: the middle, then it might be the perfect offense. But

484
00:19:51,320 --> 00:19:52,600
Speaker 1: you know, I'm just gonna do what I'm told to

485
00:19:52,600 --> 00:19:54,240
Speaker 1: do and go out and make the best of it.

486
00:19:54,480 --> 00:19:56,680
Speaker 1: But I do think our offense was a little different

487
00:19:56,720 --> 00:19:58,679
Speaker 1: than areas in the past. Like I said, we we

488
00:19:58,800 --> 00:20:01,359
Speaker 1: rushed for those yards. Uh, we weren't really an up

489
00:20:01,359 --> 00:20:04,040
Speaker 1: tempo type offense. Except in two minute drove when we

490
00:20:04,080 --> 00:20:05,639
Speaker 1: needed it, and we did a really good job with that.

491
00:20:05,680 --> 00:20:08,080
Speaker 1: But we were kind of more analyze what the situation

492
00:20:08,160 --> 00:20:09,919
Speaker 1: is the defense and then go from there. I know

493
00:20:09,960 --> 00:20:12,080
Speaker 1: you're not playing against him on these the same side

494
00:20:12,080 --> 00:20:14,520
Speaker 1: of the ball, same position, But how geeked up were

495
00:20:14,520 --> 00:20:16,399
Speaker 1: you when USC came rolling into the town and in

496
00:20:16,400 --> 00:20:19,280
Speaker 1: the game that you had there. That was a fun time.

497
00:20:19,320 --> 00:20:21,399
Speaker 1: I mean, I've never seen Pullman like that. It was

498
00:20:21,440 --> 00:20:23,440
Speaker 1: a great atmosphere that night. We really had a good

499
00:20:23,480 --> 00:20:26,000
Speaker 1: game plan and uh, you know, really executed. I think

500
00:20:26,080 --> 00:20:29,359
Speaker 1: our defense played outstanding. Offensive line had really one of

501
00:20:29,400 --> 00:20:31,600
Speaker 1: their better games. Dude, you took you took a shot.

502
00:20:31,640 --> 00:20:34,760
Speaker 1: I think it was Yeah, it was a safety. Yeah,

503
00:20:35,320 --> 00:20:38,679
Speaker 1: came from the parking lot, Bucky. Yeah, middle opened up.

504
00:20:38,720 --> 00:20:40,000
Speaker 1: We had a post back there. I knew I was

505
00:20:40,000 --> 00:20:41,960
Speaker 1: gonna take one on the chin, but uh, yeah, that

506
00:20:42,000 --> 00:20:44,479
Speaker 1: dude could hit. Yeah that was because that was one

507
00:20:44,480 --> 00:20:46,400
Speaker 1: of the best throws any quarterbacks made all year long.

508
00:20:46,480 --> 00:20:49,080
Speaker 1: He took. You took your medicine on that one. Yeah. Sure.

509
00:20:49,400 --> 00:20:51,000
Speaker 1: So when you look at the Sunday game and you

510
00:20:51,000 --> 00:20:53,480
Speaker 1: look at NFL games, who are some of the quarterbacks

511
00:20:53,520 --> 00:20:55,880
Speaker 1: that you look at and you learn from who someone did.

512
00:20:55,560 --> 00:20:58,200
Speaker 1: That's easy. That's easy. He's going his eight Super Bowl

513
00:20:58,280 --> 00:21:01,560
Speaker 1: right now. Tom Brady, I of that guy. I mean, uh,

514
00:21:01,600 --> 00:21:03,240
Speaker 1: the reason I even pat the ball is because I

515
00:21:03,240 --> 00:21:05,080
Speaker 1: watched him growing up and see him pat the ball.

516
00:21:05,160 --> 00:21:06,800
Speaker 1: So I always try to model my game after it.

517
00:21:06,880 --> 00:21:09,400
Speaker 1: And you know, I think you can't have a better

518
00:21:09,400 --> 00:21:12,440
Speaker 1: guy to look up to. It's interesting because we talked

519
00:21:12,440 --> 00:21:14,800
Speaker 1: about this over the summer, some of his mannerisms buck

520
00:21:15,040 --> 00:21:18,320
Speaker 1: in the pocket. It looks like Braet with his mannerisms

521
00:21:18,320 --> 00:21:19,840
Speaker 1: that you get that is anybody else hit you with

522
00:21:19,880 --> 00:21:21,600
Speaker 1: that a little? I think people are just trying to

523
00:21:21,640 --> 00:21:24,160
Speaker 1: be kind. No, No, I'm serious. Just some of your

524
00:21:24,200 --> 00:21:26,560
Speaker 1: subtle kind of pocket movement and just kind of your

525
00:21:26,600 --> 00:21:29,119
Speaker 1: your poise inside the pocket. I see, Uh, some of

526
00:21:29,119 --> 00:21:30,879
Speaker 1: that from Tom Brady coming out as well. Tom had

527
00:21:31,000 --> 00:21:33,600
Speaker 1: actually a very similar built coming coming into the league

528
00:21:33,640 --> 00:21:36,080
Speaker 1: as well. How much of a challenge is it with

529
00:21:36,119 --> 00:21:37,879
Speaker 1: your hand kind of keep up with your training and

530
00:21:38,160 --> 00:21:41,600
Speaker 1: get yourself you know physically it presents challenges, but uh,

531
00:21:41,800 --> 00:21:43,800
Speaker 1: you know we're working around it right now, and uh,

532
00:21:44,040 --> 00:21:45,560
Speaker 1: you know, hope we were put in a good weight

533
00:21:45,600 --> 00:21:47,520
Speaker 1: tomorrow and then the combine will show up at a

534
00:21:47,560 --> 00:21:49,920
Speaker 1: really good way. So we're just working. Just get to

535
00:21:50,040 --> 00:21:52,040
Speaker 1: give me a plan and I'll follow it. What's you're

536
00:21:52,080 --> 00:21:55,000
Speaker 1: giving me? Your your favorite play call and walking into

537
00:21:55,359 --> 00:21:58,640
Speaker 1: favorite play call. It's gonna sound extremely simple, but it's

538
00:21:58,680 --> 00:22:02,600
Speaker 1: called ACE and it's kind of the bread and butter.

539
00:22:02,880 --> 00:22:05,480
Speaker 1: You got an outside vert? Uh, it's two bye two,

540
00:22:05,600 --> 00:22:08,080
Speaker 1: got an outside vert? Uh. I don't know if I

541
00:22:08,080 --> 00:22:10,399
Speaker 1: should be disclosing this on air, do you know? I

542
00:22:10,440 --> 00:22:12,359
Speaker 1: think coach Leach won't mind because he's been running it

543
00:22:12,359 --> 00:22:15,560
Speaker 1: since two dozen one. Yeah. Yeah, then you got then

544
00:22:15,560 --> 00:22:17,000
Speaker 1: you got an out, then you got a cross, then

545
00:22:17,000 --> 00:22:19,440
Speaker 1: you've got a post dig I mean really, our whole

546
00:22:19,480 --> 00:22:21,640
Speaker 1: offense is based off of that. We dress up screens

547
00:22:21,680 --> 00:22:24,160
Speaker 1: with it. Um, it's a pure progression play. It's from

548
00:22:24,160 --> 00:22:26,440
Speaker 1: the left or right. Uh, it's a really good play

549
00:22:26,480 --> 00:22:29,399
Speaker 1: for us. I liked it. I'm fascinating. IM gonna have

550
00:22:29,440 --> 00:22:31,720
Speaker 1: to write that down. Yeah, you got you gotta do it.

551
00:22:31,760 --> 00:22:33,480
Speaker 1: I mean I think for high school, if you could

552
00:22:33,480 --> 00:22:35,199
Speaker 1: implement some of the air rate stuff, I mean you can,

553
00:22:35,240 --> 00:22:39,080
Speaker 1: really you can. Stuff is beautiful. Yeah yeah, yeah, we

554
00:22:39,160 --> 00:22:41,680
Speaker 1: we do a good job and everything you look on

555
00:22:41,680 --> 00:22:44,840
Speaker 1: one and the dude tries to uh, the strong safety

556
00:22:44,880 --> 00:22:47,280
Speaker 1: tries to jump the crosses tag a post. I mean,

557
00:22:47,520 --> 00:22:49,320
Speaker 1: it's beautiful if you if you get the leeway to

558
00:22:49,320 --> 00:22:51,199
Speaker 1: do that stuff. No, that's pretty good. I liked your

559
00:22:51,200 --> 00:22:53,040
Speaker 1: appealing to my quarterback senses. Right now, I want to

560
00:22:53,040 --> 00:22:54,320
Speaker 1: go back and play. We ran. We ran a lot

561
00:22:54,359 --> 00:22:56,760
Speaker 1: of option at episode. Yeah, that was That's like little

562
00:22:56,840 --> 00:23:01,040
Speaker 1: league stuff. That's why I always played tight end. So good.

563
00:23:01,280 --> 00:23:03,200
Speaker 1: Hey man, thank you so much for taking the time.

564
00:23:03,240 --> 00:23:04,840
Speaker 1: We wish you the best of luck. Get healthy, and

565
00:23:05,040 --> 00:23:06,280
Speaker 1: we'll be following you all the way. All right, Well,

566
00:23:06,320 --> 00:23:09,359
Speaker 1: I appreciate you guys. Thanks to Alright, we're excited here.

567
00:23:09,400 --> 00:23:12,520
Speaker 1: We've got Mason Rudolph, quarterback from Oklahoma State joining us. Amazing.

568
00:23:12,560 --> 00:23:14,080
Speaker 1: How you doing, man, great, how you doing? Thanks for

569
00:23:14,119 --> 00:23:16,040
Speaker 1: having me. I'll tell you what, bug man, it's one

570
00:23:16,040 --> 00:23:17,440
Speaker 1: of those things where I try and get out and

571
00:23:17,440 --> 00:23:19,760
Speaker 1: see all the quarterbacks live every year. You're the one

572
00:23:19,800 --> 00:23:21,560
Speaker 1: that I did not get to get out and see live.

573
00:23:21,720 --> 00:23:24,040
Speaker 1: And you went and saw but he just walked through

574
00:23:24,040 --> 00:23:25,560
Speaker 1: the door. I was like, dang, I didn't realize he's

575
00:23:25,600 --> 00:23:29,720
Speaker 1: that big man. What games you come to? Okay, good deal? Nice,

576
00:23:29,840 --> 00:23:31,199
Speaker 1: So tell us. First of all, you walked in here.

577
00:23:31,200 --> 00:23:32,640
Speaker 1: We got a walking boot on, so tell us what's

578
00:23:32,640 --> 00:23:34,560
Speaker 1: going on. I'm in the boot one more week. I

579
00:23:34,680 --> 00:23:36,680
Speaker 1: had a foot spring in the ball game second half,

580
00:23:37,080 --> 00:23:39,480
Speaker 1: finished the game with it, but uh kind of took

581
00:23:39,520 --> 00:23:41,240
Speaker 1: took about three or four days off after the ball

582
00:23:41,240 --> 00:23:42,840
Speaker 1: game see if it would improve it. It did, and

583
00:23:42,880 --> 00:23:44,840
Speaker 1: then I started kind of hitting it hard with with

584
00:23:45,000 --> 00:23:47,119
Speaker 1: throwing and then then doing a dynamic warm up as

585
00:23:47,200 --> 00:23:48,880
Speaker 1: much as I could, and then going in the weight room,

586
00:23:48,920 --> 00:23:50,760
Speaker 1: and so I kind of had some issues with just

587
00:23:50,840 --> 00:23:53,000
Speaker 1: being sore, and so I went into the UFC doctor

588
00:23:53,040 --> 00:23:55,400
Speaker 1: have been been training in Orange County and they shot

589
00:23:55,440 --> 00:23:57,080
Speaker 1: some INMRI eyes in the next ray and and to

590
00:23:57,160 --> 00:23:59,879
Speaker 1: talk to Bob Anderson, the foot specialist, and he kind

591
00:23:59,880 --> 00:24:02,680
Speaker 1: of recommended I get in the boot for three weeks

592
00:24:02,720 --> 00:24:04,440
Speaker 1: and and then not playing the Senior Bowl, which I

593
00:24:04,520 --> 00:24:07,400
Speaker 1: was kind of bummed obviously, but you know, I didn't

594
00:24:07,440 --> 00:24:09,080
Speaker 1: think I'd be a hundred percent. Neither did he, and

595
00:24:09,119 --> 00:24:11,879
Speaker 1: he kind of signed off on. He's the guy, so um,

596
00:24:12,080 --> 00:24:14,080
Speaker 1: but he he feels confident as well as I do

597
00:24:14,160 --> 00:24:15,560
Speaker 1: that I'll be I'll be fine with the combine and

598
00:24:15,640 --> 00:24:18,639
Speaker 1: do everything there and start doing some multer g running

599
00:24:18,680 --> 00:24:21,840
Speaker 1: here when I get back Wednesday, Thursday, Friday, Well, we're

600
00:24:21,840 --> 00:24:23,639
Speaker 1: real quick. I wanted one thing because I'm dying to know.

601
00:24:23,760 --> 00:24:25,080
Speaker 1: This is when he walked in the door. The first

602
00:24:25,080 --> 00:24:27,520
Speaker 1: thing that popped in my mind. I remember, just going

603
00:24:27,560 --> 00:24:29,800
Speaker 1: back in my career, you always want to win every game,

604
00:24:30,240 --> 00:24:32,360
Speaker 1: but there's nothing better as a quarterback when other team

605
00:24:32,440 --> 00:24:33,920
Speaker 1: scoring as fast as they want, so you just get

606
00:24:34,000 --> 00:24:37,359
Speaker 1: right back. How much fun was was bedling? Yeah? Um

607
00:24:37,440 --> 00:24:39,640
Speaker 1: you guys, boom boom, boom boom. We didn't win, which

608
00:24:39,680 --> 00:24:41,399
Speaker 1: wasn't fun, but I know that, but how much just

609
00:24:41,560 --> 00:24:43,560
Speaker 1: the game it's as a quarterback and like, get these

610
00:24:43,600 --> 00:24:45,440
Speaker 1: guys off the field. I want to get back out there. Yeah,

611
00:24:45,480 --> 00:24:47,600
Speaker 1: I mean I think, yeah, we were the second quarter.

612
00:24:47,680 --> 00:24:49,800
Speaker 1: It was lost. I forget how many points score, but

613
00:24:49,880 --> 00:24:52,080
Speaker 1: we were back and forth and uh yeah, it was

614
00:24:52,080 --> 00:24:53,879
Speaker 1: one of those games you'll you know, you'll remember for

615
00:24:53,920 --> 00:24:56,119
Speaker 1: a while, but you know, I think, uh, it's two

616
00:24:56,160 --> 00:24:58,680
Speaker 1: good offenses going up against each other. Really, you know, high,

617
00:24:58,800 --> 00:25:00,600
Speaker 1: high powered, high explode a lot of a lot of

618
00:25:00,640 --> 00:25:03,480
Speaker 1: downfield shots and uh, you know, we we didn't make

619
00:25:03,520 --> 00:25:05,520
Speaker 1: the plays in the end to steal it off. But yeah,

620
00:25:05,600 --> 00:25:08,560
Speaker 1: definitely a exhilarating game. I guess you could say, a lot,

621
00:25:08,600 --> 00:25:10,200
Speaker 1: a lot of points, a lot of yards, and and

622
00:25:10,320 --> 00:25:12,320
Speaker 1: and thinking about what you've been able to accomplish in

623
00:25:12,400 --> 00:25:15,560
Speaker 1: that Oklahoma State offense. That offense is remarkable. Like haven't

624
00:25:15,560 --> 00:25:17,639
Speaker 1: watched you guys play, y'all go up and down the field.

625
00:25:18,160 --> 00:25:19,639
Speaker 1: What are you going to be able to take from

626
00:25:19,680 --> 00:25:22,840
Speaker 1: your experience directing the offense that's as high powered to

627
00:25:23,000 --> 00:25:25,959
Speaker 1: help you be a really really good pro. And I think, uh,

628
00:25:26,280 --> 00:25:27,680
Speaker 1: you know, my ability to push the ball on the

629
00:25:27,720 --> 00:25:29,440
Speaker 1: field like you like you said, I mean, I think,

630
00:25:29,800 --> 00:25:31,560
Speaker 1: um might go with my deep post ball ball are

631
00:25:31,600 --> 00:25:33,120
Speaker 1: probably my best. And I think I do it better

632
00:25:33,200 --> 00:25:35,800
Speaker 1: than you know, than anyone in this class. And and

633
00:25:36,119 --> 00:25:39,280
Speaker 1: uh just just really you know, enjoyed playing in the

634
00:25:39,359 --> 00:25:40,760
Speaker 1: system that I did. I think there was a lot

635
00:25:40,800 --> 00:25:42,840
Speaker 1: of you know, r p os in first second down,

636
00:25:42,840 --> 00:25:44,199
Speaker 1: but I think we ran those are just about as

637
00:25:44,240 --> 00:25:46,480
Speaker 1: good as anybody and and and executed them. And so

638
00:25:47,080 --> 00:25:49,080
Speaker 1: you know, I'm looking forward to taking the next step

639
00:25:49,160 --> 00:25:51,560
Speaker 1: and and and to start learning and doing whatever is

640
00:25:51,560 --> 00:25:53,480
Speaker 1: asked to me, you know, at the pro level, and

641
00:25:54,000 --> 00:25:56,080
Speaker 1: excited to do so. So to that point you talk

642
00:25:56,119 --> 00:25:57,560
Speaker 1: about r p O s and some of the things

643
00:25:57,640 --> 00:26:00,119
Speaker 1: that you do too maybe unique to Oklahoma State. Like

644
00:26:00,240 --> 00:26:03,440
Speaker 1: sometimes you hear scouts and critics say that, oh, that

645
00:26:03,560 --> 00:26:06,840
Speaker 1: doesn't translate to the next level. Why will your play

646
00:26:07,760 --> 00:26:10,960
Speaker 1: the Eagles run them? Why will your play at Oklahoma State?

647
00:26:10,960 --> 00:26:12,680
Speaker 1: Why were they the game the gay that we saw

648
00:26:12,680 --> 00:26:14,359
Speaker 1: at Oklhoma State. Why would they guys show up on

649
00:26:14,440 --> 00:26:17,600
Speaker 1: Sundays say that again? Why? What? What's why? While the

650
00:26:17,720 --> 00:26:19,959
Speaker 1: guy that we saw dominant at Oklahoma State? Why were

651
00:26:19,960 --> 00:26:22,440
Speaker 1: they saying guys show up on Sunday? Because I was

652
00:26:22,480 --> 00:26:23,879
Speaker 1: I was in high school. I was tagged as a

653
00:26:23,880 --> 00:26:26,560
Speaker 1: short screen guy. We we were heavier right offense, like

654
00:26:26,640 --> 00:26:28,399
Speaker 1: Mike Leach to the to the bone, and and I

655
00:26:28,480 --> 00:26:30,120
Speaker 1: was kind of textus, well, he didn't take any shots

656
00:26:30,160 --> 00:26:31,480
Speaker 1: on the field, and I did that in college, and

657
00:26:31,520 --> 00:26:33,119
Speaker 1: now it's tagged as all he takes too, and he

658
00:26:33,240 --> 00:26:35,440
Speaker 1: just got good receivers, he throws the ball up. Well,

659
00:26:35,520 --> 00:26:38,359
Speaker 1: you know, I'd say, uh, obviously I think different, But uh,

660
00:26:38,840 --> 00:26:40,639
Speaker 1: I think I think, um, you know, my game of

661
00:26:40,720 --> 00:26:43,200
Speaker 1: prototypical big size. I love to play from the pocket.

662
00:26:43,240 --> 00:26:45,560
Speaker 1: When I'm an athletic enough to make plays extend to play,

663
00:26:46,119 --> 00:26:48,080
Speaker 1: you know, outside the pocket, and I think I did

664
00:26:48,440 --> 00:26:49,840
Speaker 1: a lot better job. But try to work on this

665
00:26:49,920 --> 00:26:53,320
Speaker 1: off season is creating those scenarios where you're you're forced

666
00:26:53,320 --> 00:26:54,639
Speaker 1: out and you gotta throw in the run, and I

667
00:26:54,680 --> 00:26:57,200
Speaker 1: think I did that better and so but uh, yeah,

668
00:26:57,240 --> 00:27:00,440
Speaker 1: the culmination on those things. But I think I'm yeah,

669
00:27:00,600 --> 00:27:02,600
Speaker 1: like I said, I'm looking forward to do whatever I can,

670
00:27:03,040 --> 00:27:05,840
Speaker 1: whatever whatever fit, and learning as much as quick as

671
00:27:05,880 --> 00:27:07,560
Speaker 1: I can. All Right, we're both former scouts who want

672
00:27:07,600 --> 00:27:09,639
Speaker 1: you to put your your scouting hat on for a second.

673
00:27:10,080 --> 00:27:12,119
Speaker 1: Going through your schedule this year. The one guy you

674
00:27:12,200 --> 00:27:13,600
Speaker 1: watch on the other side of the ball that jumped

675
00:27:13,600 --> 00:27:15,200
Speaker 1: off the tape, he said, Holy crap, I better be

676
00:27:15,240 --> 00:27:17,919
Speaker 1: careful with this one man. I think, uh the safety

677
00:27:17,960 --> 00:27:21,640
Speaker 1: of Texas Jefferson as well as the no stackle in Texas. Yeah,

678
00:27:21,720 --> 00:27:24,639
Speaker 1: putting forward Big twelve defense linement of the year was

679
00:27:24,720 --> 00:27:26,440
Speaker 1: just uh, you know, he he caused a lot of

680
00:27:26,480 --> 00:27:29,320
Speaker 1: problems for us that you're playing that three down kind

681
00:27:29,359 --> 00:27:31,000
Speaker 1: of like we called it a two whole defense to

682
00:27:31,119 --> 00:27:33,520
Speaker 1: high safeties and like a pre aligned nickel Sam in

683
00:27:33,560 --> 00:27:36,680
Speaker 1: the middle and just you know, asking begging Uster on

684
00:27:36,760 --> 00:27:38,520
Speaker 1: the ball. We just we couldn't. They were they were

685
00:27:38,600 --> 00:27:40,760
Speaker 1: forcing everything outside and then those over Haan backers were

686
00:27:40,800 --> 00:27:43,240
Speaker 1: making tackles. And you know, that was the lowest scoring

687
00:27:43,280 --> 00:27:45,440
Speaker 1: game of the year for us, and they did a

688
00:27:45,480 --> 00:27:47,800
Speaker 1: great job, like you said, probably because of those two players.

689
00:27:47,880 --> 00:27:50,680
Speaker 1: But uh yeah, those those two guys take out and

690
00:27:51,119 --> 00:27:53,920
Speaker 1: and thinking about what you want to accomplish going for

691
00:27:54,119 --> 00:27:56,200
Speaker 1: so we have to combine coming up in your pro days,

692
00:27:56,440 --> 00:27:58,159
Speaker 1: what would you like to show scouts because you are

693
00:27:58,280 --> 00:28:00,440
Speaker 1: maybe to pit they paid in this Yeah, what would

694
00:28:00,440 --> 00:28:02,080
Speaker 1: you like to show at the combine because that's the

695
00:28:02,119 --> 00:28:03,520
Speaker 1: next week thing. Yeah, well, I think the part of

696
00:28:03,520 --> 00:28:04,760
Speaker 1: the reason I came down here is because, like I

697
00:28:04,800 --> 00:28:06,160
Speaker 1: could have not you know, I could have just stayed

698
00:28:06,200 --> 00:28:08,440
Speaker 1: back in California, but I wanted to, you know, get

699
00:28:08,480 --> 00:28:10,359
Speaker 1: this thing started, meet with some teams and show them,

700
00:28:10,760 --> 00:28:13,119
Speaker 1: you know, my character, my personality and come across to

701
00:28:13,200 --> 00:28:15,119
Speaker 1: him in a good way. And that's that's why I'm here,

702
00:28:15,119 --> 00:28:17,000
Speaker 1: and that's what I've already started to do. But uh,

703
00:28:17,440 --> 00:28:19,119
Speaker 1: as far as the combine, man, I think I'll be

704
00:28:19,640 --> 00:28:21,639
Speaker 1: planning on throwing, They're plan on doing everything as much

705
00:28:21,640 --> 00:28:24,320
Speaker 1: as I can and and uh, you know, gearing up

706
00:28:24,320 --> 00:28:25,960
Speaker 1: to that with my with my quarterback coach, I think

707
00:28:26,400 --> 00:28:29,040
Speaker 1: Zach Robinson and uh so we we've been working on

708
00:28:29,160 --> 00:28:31,159
Speaker 1: that and as well as you know, just go and

709
00:28:31,200 --> 00:28:33,680
Speaker 1: throw my games and making sure I can explain everything

710
00:28:33,760 --> 00:28:36,720
Speaker 1: well and um and and then then start diving into

711
00:28:36,760 --> 00:28:39,400
Speaker 1: some NFL concepts and just be ready for for the

712
00:28:39,480 --> 00:28:41,600
Speaker 1: questions in the interviews at the combin. It's a lot

713
00:28:41,680 --> 00:28:43,840
Speaker 1: more formal than it is here. It's a lot more

714
00:28:43,960 --> 00:28:45,440
Speaker 1: you know, you got more time on your hands, and

715
00:28:45,480 --> 00:28:47,640
Speaker 1: so it's fifteen minute deals with the comment I'll go quick,

716
00:28:47,720 --> 00:28:49,800
Speaker 1: but uh yeah, just and then and then the pro

717
00:28:49,920 --> 00:28:51,640
Speaker 1: to toy just you know, come up with a great script.

718
00:28:51,760 --> 00:28:54,200
Speaker 1: I think it'll be it'll be really fun time having

719
00:28:54,320 --> 00:28:58,000
Speaker 1: throwing Marcel Eateman and James Washington and and uh Chris

720
00:28:58,120 --> 00:28:59,880
Speaker 1: Lacey even and then it'll be it'll be fun, fun

721
00:29:00,040 --> 00:29:01,920
Speaker 1: road in fun process. You had to go trainent to

722
00:29:01,920 --> 00:29:05,280
Speaker 1: Oklahoma State guy, right, you didn't have a chance Oklahoma

723
00:29:05,280 --> 00:29:07,719
Speaker 1: State quarterbacks stay together. Man, Hey, last question we got.

724
00:29:07,800 --> 00:29:09,120
Speaker 1: We got some of your tammates who were waiting to

725
00:29:09,120 --> 00:29:11,800
Speaker 1: get in here. Uh, last question from me. I've heard

726
00:29:11,840 --> 00:29:14,080
Speaker 1: from a lot of people that talk about your leadership

727
00:29:14,200 --> 00:29:16,320
Speaker 1: and you bring to the table from that. In that regard,

728
00:29:16,480 --> 00:29:18,160
Speaker 1: can you just give me one quick story, a quick

729
00:29:18,200 --> 00:29:21,080
Speaker 1: example of your leadership style and action. Yeah, I think, um,

730
00:29:21,360 --> 00:29:23,479
Speaker 1: you know, I'm fired. I'm I'm very passionate about the game.

731
00:29:23,520 --> 00:29:25,480
Speaker 1: You see them on the sidelines. I'll get into it.

732
00:29:25,600 --> 00:29:28,560
Speaker 1: But uh, you know, I think, you know, an example

733
00:29:28,600 --> 00:29:30,720
Speaker 1: with the receivers, with the guys behind me, Marcel and James,

734
00:29:30,800 --> 00:29:33,200
Speaker 1: and just being in practice and always having that love

735
00:29:33,280 --> 00:29:36,160
Speaker 1: hate relationship of you know, landmarks or route conversions and

736
00:29:36,680 --> 00:29:39,160
Speaker 1: and sight adjustments and and things like that. We may

737
00:29:39,240 --> 00:29:41,480
Speaker 1: get wrong one day and and and I'm you know,

738
00:29:41,520 --> 00:29:43,840
Speaker 1: I'm on there, I'm on there. You know, I'm down there.

739
00:29:44,320 --> 00:29:46,320
Speaker 1: I'm on their head about it. And then they'll we'll

740
00:29:46,400 --> 00:29:48,400
Speaker 1: kind of come back and and at the end of

741
00:29:48,400 --> 00:29:51,560
Speaker 1: the day, we're teammates first, but they'll they'll tell you

742
00:29:51,640 --> 00:29:53,479
Speaker 1: I've gotten on them a few times, and and uh

743
00:29:53,760 --> 00:29:58,240
Speaker 1: we always smile it myself, but we get those things

744
00:29:58,320 --> 00:30:00,400
Speaker 1: ironed out in practice so that the game, you know,

745
00:30:00,440 --> 00:30:02,480
Speaker 1: it's a breezing and we're on the same page. Great job, man,

Speaker 1: and UM to play football and come out there and

764
00:30:57,480 --> 00:31:02,200
Speaker 1: possibly play some basketball too. Did you miss basketball at all?

765
00:31:02,280 --> 00:31:05,320
Speaker 1: Obviously I spend time with the Carolina pants Is. We

766
00:31:05,360 --> 00:31:06,880
Speaker 1: had a guy at Julius Peppers there was a big

767
00:31:06,920 --> 00:31:09,600
Speaker 1: time hooper that has made the transition now obviously be

768
00:31:09,680 --> 00:31:12,320
Speaker 1: one of the best sackers in the league. What from

769
00:31:12,400 --> 00:31:14,760
Speaker 1: basketball are you able to take to help you be

770
00:31:14,840 --> 00:31:21,320
Speaker 1: a dominant football player. Explosiveness, UM, awareness with my body, uh, leverage,

771
00:31:22,480 --> 00:31:26,040
Speaker 1: you know, I feel like overall I can't necessarily specify

772
00:31:26,200 --> 00:31:30,560
Speaker 1: what I took is just atmosphere. What's your thoughts on

773
00:31:30,840 --> 00:31:36,680
Speaker 1: ever getting blocked by a tight end? Okay, so I'm

774
00:31:36,760 --> 00:31:40,360
Speaker 1: never supposed to get blocked by a tight end? Um, Honestly,

775
00:31:40,400 --> 00:31:42,560
Speaker 1: that's been the mindset. You know. I have to dominate,

776
00:31:43,360 --> 00:31:46,680
Speaker 1: especially somebody that's not even that doesn't even way more

777
00:31:46,760 --> 00:31:49,520
Speaker 1: than me. Now you did? Uh? Watching you on tapes

778
00:31:49,560 --> 00:31:51,240
Speaker 1: fun to watch you ragged all some tight ends and

779
00:31:51,280 --> 00:31:53,120
Speaker 1: get after a little bit. Go ahead, buck. Obviously you

780
00:31:53,240 --> 00:31:56,240
Speaker 1: coming from a smaller school coming here in the Senior Bowl,

781
00:31:56,240 --> 00:31:58,160
Speaker 1: people want to know, how are you going to handle

782
00:31:58,240 --> 00:32:02,280
Speaker 1: the jump in competition? When you hear that question, how

783
00:32:02,320 --> 00:32:05,680
Speaker 1: do you respond to that? Um? Competition and competition. I

784
00:32:06,000 --> 00:32:09,560
Speaker 1: don't really think people can tell me that I play

785
00:32:09,640 --> 00:32:13,520
Speaker 1: lower competition. You didn't play against them, and UM, I

786
00:32:13,600 --> 00:32:17,040
Speaker 1: believe that conference you would say is good and um

787
00:32:17,800 --> 00:32:20,840
Speaker 1: who they actually bring through and talent? But you know,

788
00:32:21,280 --> 00:32:23,480
Speaker 1: knowing that I will come here and I will I

789
00:32:23,640 --> 00:32:26,960
Speaker 1: plan to dominate. One of the things I love about

790
00:32:27,040 --> 00:32:29,640
Speaker 1: you is just kind of looking throughout your career and

791
00:32:29,720 --> 00:32:31,480
Speaker 1: watch you even throughout this season, you got better. I

792
00:32:31,480 --> 00:32:32,920
Speaker 1: mean you can even just look at your production two

793
00:32:32,960 --> 00:32:34,600
Speaker 1: and a half sacks to four sacks and six and

794
00:32:34,600 --> 00:32:37,000
Speaker 1: a half sacks, eight and a half sacks. Your production

795
00:32:37,120 --> 00:32:38,960
Speaker 1: across the board just keeps going up and up and up.

796
00:32:39,480 --> 00:32:42,200
Speaker 1: How how much easier is the game getting for you

797
00:32:42,280 --> 00:32:48,720
Speaker 1: as it started to slow down for you? UM? Yes, yes, really,

798
00:32:49,160 --> 00:32:51,840
Speaker 1: I it was more what um, what my teammates allowed

799
00:32:51,880 --> 00:32:55,200
Speaker 1: me to do. You know, they believed in me, and

800
00:32:55,280 --> 00:32:57,960
Speaker 1: I feel like that helped me a lot. When you

801
00:32:58,600 --> 00:33:01,480
Speaker 1: think about the next level, are the guys that you

802
00:33:01,600 --> 00:33:05,560
Speaker 1: patted your game after? Um, I've been asked this question

803
00:33:05,640 --> 00:33:08,800
Speaker 1: so many times. I can't necessarily say that there's one person,

804
00:33:09,480 --> 00:33:11,600
Speaker 1: you know. I like to think of Clay's, Campbell's power,

805
00:33:12,400 --> 00:33:15,680
Speaker 1: Um J J. Watts motor and Vomerless speed. That's a

806
00:33:15,880 --> 00:33:17,920
Speaker 1: that's a hell of a combination this kid can bend to.

807
00:33:18,120 --> 00:33:21,040
Speaker 1: Now you put all that together, you'd be a dominant

808
00:33:21,040 --> 00:33:23,640
Speaker 1: player for a long time. So for those that listen,

809
00:33:23,680 --> 00:33:25,600
Speaker 1: I don't know about Marcus a little, but he's gonna

810
00:33:25,600 --> 00:33:27,960
Speaker 1: be right at six six little over six six will

811
00:33:27,960 --> 00:33:29,920
Speaker 1: you what do you say you're winning high two fifties? Right,

812
00:33:30,520 --> 00:33:33,840
Speaker 1: high two fifties. He's got a big time motor and

813
00:33:34,000 --> 00:33:36,440
Speaker 1: outstanding burst and can bend coming off the edge a

814
00:33:36,480 --> 00:33:38,880
Speaker 1: little bit. Just give us a sneak peek. You don't

815
00:33:38,880 --> 00:33:40,960
Speaker 1: have to tell us what you're gonna do, but just

816
00:33:41,040 --> 00:33:43,280
Speaker 1: give us a sneak peek of what the expectations should be.

817
00:33:43,360 --> 00:33:44,880
Speaker 1: Once we get to this one on one session, you

818
00:33:44,920 --> 00:33:46,640
Speaker 1: get a chance to go up against some of these dudes.

819
00:33:47,880 --> 00:33:50,520
Speaker 1: I want to win every single one. And what kind

820
00:33:50,560 --> 00:33:53,680
Speaker 1: of fashion do you want to get that done? I

821
00:33:53,760 --> 00:33:56,440
Speaker 1: want to mix it up, honestly. I want to be

822
00:33:56,480 --> 00:34:00,720
Speaker 1: able to go speed to power speed for ness all

823
00:34:00,800 --> 00:34:03,280
Speaker 1: that it's good. I mean, it's a nice game play,

824
00:34:03,840 --> 00:34:06,200
Speaker 1: game playing, nice game playing. Half At the end of

825
00:34:06,240 --> 00:34:09,319
Speaker 1: the week, what do you want the scouts to say

826
00:34:09,400 --> 00:34:16,200
Speaker 1: about Marcus Davenport? M hm, really about me? He deserves

827
00:34:16,239 --> 00:34:18,880
Speaker 1: to be here. But mainly I really want them to

828
00:34:19,160 --> 00:34:23,799
Speaker 1: uh stop calling you to say a small school. Now

829
00:34:23,880 --> 00:34:25,840
Speaker 1: you've had a chance, you've been training out in California,

830
00:34:26,320 --> 00:34:28,880
Speaker 1: spent all this time in Texas. I just settle this

831
00:34:28,960 --> 00:34:32,319
Speaker 1: thing once and for all. California, Mexican food or text Max,

832
00:34:32,360 --> 00:34:35,600
Speaker 1: Where are you going here? M text mix. That's a

833
00:34:35,640 --> 00:34:38,800
Speaker 1: wrong answer. It's almost like in and Out Burger and

834
00:34:38,880 --> 00:34:45,120

Speaker 1: Jump back in here and z like what a burger? Come?

837
00:34:51,520 --> 00:34:54,480
Speaker 1: How do you order that thing? Honeyboy? Your chicken sandwich?

838
00:34:55,120 --> 00:34:56,479
Speaker 1: And you know, I know when you got a chicken

839
00:34:56,520 --> 00:34:59,200
Speaker 1: strip sandwich, you're compared it to a hammer. Literally is

840
00:34:59,560 --> 00:35:01,880
Speaker 1: apples in orange is not even the same thing. Okay,

841
00:35:02,400 --> 00:35:04,240
Speaker 1: so what do you like? I like p F Chang's

842
00:35:06,040 --> 00:35:08,680
Speaker 1: and out is only good for animal style. I gotta

843
00:35:08,719 --> 00:35:10,640
Speaker 1: hop in here to help a man out from San

844
00:35:10,719 --> 00:35:13,320
Speaker 1: Antonio because I'm I'm from San Antonio. To water Burger,

845
00:35:13,760 --> 00:35:18,279

846
00:35:18,480 --> 00:35:22,040
Speaker 1: dominates anything. In and Out's coming with you? Go and out?

849
00:35:27,000 --> 00:35:29,600
Speaker 1: do animal style. I think it needs to be in

850
00:35:29,719 --> 00:35:31,120
Speaker 1: order for it to be good, you have to get

851
00:35:31,120 --> 00:35:35,040
Speaker 1: animal style. This is over. This interview is over. Mark.

852
00:35:35,080 --> 00:35:38,560

853
00:35:38,920 --> 00:35:41,560
Speaker 1: As I want to love, and I do love Marcus Davenport.

854
00:35:41,600 --> 00:35:43,960
Speaker 1: It's it's a it's a real love buck. I have

855
00:35:43,960 --> 00:35:45,919
Speaker 1: a hard time getting over the whole hamburger thing. Yeah,

856
00:35:45,920 --> 00:35:47,919
Speaker 1: I know, I just don't understand, Like I was hoping

857
00:35:47,920 --> 00:35:50,120
Speaker 1: that he had higher standards for what he likes to consume.

858
00:35:50,239 --> 00:35:52,880
Speaker 1: But maybe in time he will understand that in and

859
00:35:52,920 --> 00:35:55,680
Speaker 1: out burger is a far superior burger. And what a burger? Yeah? Look,

860
00:35:55,960 --> 00:35:58,800
Speaker 1: character counts and so the calories, and he's not picking

861
00:35:58,840 --> 00:36:02,279
Speaker 1: the right calories. What a burger? Are you serious over?

862
00:36:02,400 --> 00:36:04,759
Speaker 1: In and out? I mean, and by the way, we've

863
00:36:04,800 --> 00:36:07,719
Speaker 1: already we've already put in you know. For Look, we

864
00:36:07,880 --> 00:36:10,200
Speaker 1: love seller. He does a great job. He's a fantastic producer,

865
00:36:10,480 --> 00:36:12,560
Speaker 1: and it's wonderful. I don't know if I can be

866
00:36:12,640 --> 00:36:14,160
Speaker 1: worked with the producer that thinks of what a burger

867
00:36:14,200 --> 00:36:15,839
Speaker 1: is better than because it wasn't even about the burger.

868
00:36:15,840 --> 00:36:19,680
Speaker 1: It was about a chicken sandwich. Yeah, like, what's your

869
00:36:19,719 --> 00:36:21,839
Speaker 1: favorite burger? I don't know. It's got some chicken wings

870
00:36:21,880 --> 00:36:26,799
Speaker 1: in there and a burger, not a burger. That doesn't count. Man, Well,

871
00:36:27,320 --> 00:36:29,000
Speaker 1: we got a long time. Look, I think we can

872
00:36:29,120 --> 00:36:31,560
Speaker 1: lead We can lead Selly to the truth. Davenport might

873
00:36:31,560 --> 00:36:36,080
Speaker 1: be a lost cause, but Bucky Josh Allen fascinating interview,

874
00:36:36,239 --> 00:36:40,280
Speaker 1: Absolutely interesting, interesting guy. I thought Luke Fogg was fascinating

875
00:36:40,320 --> 00:36:41,640
Speaker 1: in terms of what he was able to talk about

876
00:36:41,640 --> 00:36:43,360
Speaker 1: the quarterback position, how he got it done. It was

877
00:36:43,480 --> 00:36:46,680
Speaker 1: Zoo Mason Rudolph the natural leadership ability that kind of

878
00:36:46,760 --> 00:36:50,680
Speaker 1: came through, and Davenport, who was misguided with the burger.

879
00:36:51,160 --> 00:36:52,799
Speaker 1: Outside of that, he was good. But it's pretty good

880
00:36:52,800 --> 00:36:55,160
Speaker 1: conversation overall. Yeah, tell a little nippy out here after

881
00:36:55,239 --> 00:36:57,759
Speaker 1: practice at the Senior Bowl cold. I think it's gonna

882
00:36:57,760 --> 00:36:59,239
Speaker 1: get a little colder, maybe a little wet there at

883
00:36:59,239 --> 00:37:00,839
Speaker 1: the end of the week. But we're having a great

884
00:37:00,880 --> 00:37:02,439
Speaker 1: time here down at the recent Senior Boy. I hope
