1 00:00:00,840 --> 00:00:06,240 Speaker 1: And now move the sticks with Daniel Jeremiah and Bucky Brooks. 2 00:00:06,760 --> 00:00:09,520 Speaker 1: What's up, everybody. Welcome to move the sticks. DJ, Bucky 3 00:00:09,800 --> 00:00:12,680 Speaker 1: with you here, and Buck Man. We've got we've got 4 00:00:12,720 --> 00:00:15,400 Speaker 1: the final playoff game. We can break down today. That 5 00:00:15,600 --> 00:00:18,759 Speaker 1: was a thrashing the Dallas Cowboys. Kind of surprising to 6 00:00:18,840 --> 00:00:22,160 Speaker 1: me how easily they handled the Tampay Buccaneers and how 7 00:00:22,200 --> 00:00:25,079 Speaker 1: bad Tom Brady looked. We're gonna get to all that stuff. Uh, 8 00:00:25,079 --> 00:00:27,520 Speaker 1: and just a little bit. I do want to start 9 00:00:27,560 --> 00:00:30,200 Speaker 1: off this show though, with some news that just came down. 10 00:00:30,360 --> 00:00:33,519 Speaker 1: So it's that time of year you're gonna have coaches dismissed. 11 00:00:33,560 --> 00:00:35,959 Speaker 1: It's not just head coaches. The news that just came 12 00:00:35,960 --> 00:00:38,879 Speaker 1: down as we're getting ready to start this podcast the Chargers, uh, 13 00:00:38,920 --> 00:00:41,640 Speaker 1: the team that I cover, uh doing their their broadcast. 14 00:00:41,880 --> 00:00:44,600 Speaker 1: Joe Lombardi, offense coordinator. He is out. Shane Day, the 15 00:00:44,640 --> 00:00:47,479 Speaker 1: quarterback coach, is out. I want to get your thoughts 16 00:00:47,560 --> 00:00:50,479 Speaker 1: on their dismissal, kind of what you think is the 17 00:00:50,560 --> 00:00:52,879 Speaker 1: future there, what they should look for as a coordinator, 18 00:00:52,920 --> 00:00:55,920 Speaker 1: but also piggyback that with the thought now we have 19 00:00:56,040 --> 00:00:59,480 Speaker 1: six coordinator jobs open, six offensive coordinators. The two teams 20 00:00:59,480 --> 00:01:01,880 Speaker 1: in l A, the Jets in New England, and the 21 00:01:01,920 --> 00:01:05,440 Speaker 1: a f C East. We've got the Washington Commanders the 22 00:01:05,480 --> 00:01:08,800 Speaker 1: Tennessee Titans. So what do you think about the Chargers 23 00:01:08,880 --> 00:01:10,320 Speaker 1: and where they go and what do you think is 24 00:01:10,360 --> 00:01:13,039 Speaker 1: the most attractive of those six openings. Well, it's easy 25 00:01:13,040 --> 00:01:14,920 Speaker 1: because the team we're gonna talk about, the Charges, has 26 00:01:14,959 --> 00:01:17,280 Speaker 1: the most attractive opening because the first thing that you 27 00:01:17,360 --> 00:01:20,360 Speaker 1: start with is the quarterback. They have the most attractive 28 00:01:20,440 --> 00:01:23,120 Speaker 1: quarterback in Justin Herbert, and so everyone wants to be 29 00:01:23,200 --> 00:01:24,800 Speaker 1: a part of that because if you get that piece 30 00:01:24,840 --> 00:01:28,040 Speaker 1: of the puzzle, it allows you to really easily build 31 00:01:28,080 --> 00:01:31,280 Speaker 1: around him. And so that makes this job a prim job, 32 00:01:31,319 --> 00:01:33,520 Speaker 1: and it makes it one that candidate dates are really 33 00:01:33,520 --> 00:01:35,959 Speaker 1: going to be trying to scratch and claw and put 34 00:01:36,000 --> 00:01:39,080 Speaker 1: themselves in a position to get. Uh. Look, it's unfortunately 35 00:01:39,120 --> 00:01:42,240 Speaker 1: whenever someone has dismissed Lombardi did a really good job 36 00:01:42,319 --> 00:01:44,720 Speaker 1: when it came to Justin Herbert and helping him go 37 00:01:44,800 --> 00:01:47,760 Speaker 1: to the next level. But when you have a loss 38 00:01:48,080 --> 00:01:49,920 Speaker 1: like they head, and you have a season where you're 39 00:01:49,920 --> 00:01:52,360 Speaker 1: not necessarily able to run the ball and do some 40 00:01:52,400 --> 00:01:54,720 Speaker 1: of the things that they struggled with, like in the 41 00:01:54,760 --> 00:01:57,360 Speaker 1: red zone and those things they're gonna look for change, 42 00:01:57,400 --> 00:02:00,600 Speaker 1: particularly when it was all coming down on the head coach. 43 00:02:01,080 --> 00:02:03,800 Speaker 1: Is easier to dismiss the offensive coordinator and keep the 44 00:02:03,800 --> 00:02:06,040 Speaker 1: head coach and give him an opportunity to find another 45 00:02:06,080 --> 00:02:09,560 Speaker 1: guy they maybe can max out the talent on this offense. 46 00:02:09,840 --> 00:02:12,080 Speaker 1: I believe the thing that the Charges need to find 47 00:02:12,360 --> 00:02:14,960 Speaker 1: they need to find a way to make the game 48 00:02:15,040 --> 00:02:17,440 Speaker 1: easier for Justin Herbert. And the one way that you 49 00:02:17,480 --> 00:02:21,239 Speaker 1: can make it easier is having some similars of running 50 00:02:21,280 --> 00:02:24,880 Speaker 1: game and a complimentary play action passing game that not 51 00:02:24,960 --> 00:02:28,639 Speaker 1: only offsets to pass rush, but it creates more big 52 00:02:28,680 --> 00:02:32,200 Speaker 1: play opportunities down the field. We know play action lures 53 00:02:32,600 --> 00:02:36,160 Speaker 1: linebackers to the line of scrimmage, creates huge boys at 54 00:02:36,200 --> 00:02:39,360 Speaker 1: that eat immediate and deep level. And so I'm looking 55 00:02:39,360 --> 00:02:42,280 Speaker 1: for someone that can add a little more power run game, 56 00:02:43,080 --> 00:02:46,959 Speaker 1: booleg motion movement, passing game, and the big play element, 57 00:02:47,200 --> 00:02:49,480 Speaker 1: because in my mind, that's all this team needs to 58 00:02:49,480 --> 00:02:51,760 Speaker 1: get over the top. Yeah, it's interesting to see where 59 00:02:51,760 --> 00:02:54,200 Speaker 1: they go here. I do think the run game needs 60 00:02:54,240 --> 00:02:56,160 Speaker 1: to be addressed at first and foremost they have to 61 00:02:56,160 --> 00:02:57,680 Speaker 1: get that salt. I think everybody's looking at this, Oh, 62 00:02:57,720 --> 00:02:59,560 Speaker 1: who do we put around Justin Herbert to help Justin 63 00:02:59,600 --> 00:03:01,560 Speaker 1: Herbert go to the next level. I think it's gonna 64 00:03:01,560 --> 00:03:03,240 Speaker 1: help Justin Herbert go to the next level. Is some 65 00:03:03,240 --> 00:03:05,679 Speaker 1: semblance of a run game, and off of that run game, 66 00:03:05,720 --> 00:03:08,840 Speaker 1: as you mentioned, being able to utilize play action. They 67 00:03:08,840 --> 00:03:11,960 Speaker 1: weren't tied together very well in that area with the Chargers, 68 00:03:11,960 --> 00:03:13,919 Speaker 1: so they gotta find a way where they can run 69 00:03:13,960 --> 00:03:16,040 Speaker 1: the football and then off of that give him some 70 00:03:16,120 --> 00:03:17,920 Speaker 1: opportunities to get the ball down the field. A lot 71 00:03:17,960 --> 00:03:20,560 Speaker 1: of those chunk plays you know, we've seen, We've seen 72 00:03:20,560 --> 00:03:23,560 Speaker 1: the shots. We've seen some shots periodically with the Chargers. 73 00:03:23,560 --> 00:03:25,640 Speaker 1: But I think that marryes up better. You get somebody 74 00:03:25,720 --> 00:03:29,519 Speaker 1: understands the run game, maybe as a coordinator, somebody that understands, 75 00:03:29,840 --> 00:03:32,080 Speaker 1: you know, line of scrimmage play, and that's kind of 76 00:03:32,120 --> 00:03:34,600 Speaker 1: maybe his emphasis. I'd be okay with that. And then 77 00:03:34,800 --> 00:03:38,080 Speaker 1: get a quarterback coach because that's another opening that they 78 00:03:38,080 --> 00:03:40,960 Speaker 1: have that can really drill down on Justin and clean 79 00:03:41,040 --> 00:03:42,840 Speaker 1: up some of the mechanical stuff we saw kind of 80 00:03:42,840 --> 00:03:44,600 Speaker 1: show up in that playoff game a little bit, some 81 00:03:44,680 --> 00:03:47,040 Speaker 1: of the arm angles stuff getting him back over the 82 00:03:47,080 --> 00:03:49,000 Speaker 1: top with his arms slots gonna eliminate a lot of 83 00:03:49,000 --> 00:03:51,000 Speaker 1: these tip balls that we've seen this year. I think 84 00:03:51,000 --> 00:03:52,800 Speaker 1: there's a stat out there he's had more balls tipped 85 00:03:52,800 --> 00:03:56,440 Speaker 1: than Kyler Murray and he's what six seven inches taller. 86 00:03:56,560 --> 00:03:58,400 Speaker 1: So a little things like that, I think you can 87 00:03:58,440 --> 00:04:01,520 Speaker 1: get a solid quarterback. It's preferably, in my opinion, one 88 00:04:01,560 --> 00:04:03,680 Speaker 1: that's played in the NFL. Give him a lot of 89 00:04:03,680 --> 00:04:05,800 Speaker 1: credibility in that room, and see if you can't help 90 00:04:06,080 --> 00:04:07,880 Speaker 1: tighten that up a little bit. But I think the 91 00:04:07,960 --> 00:04:11,000 Speaker 1: run game, uh, and being a more physical team is 92 00:04:11,000 --> 00:04:13,520 Speaker 1: going to help them, not only with explosive plays, but 93 00:04:13,600 --> 00:04:15,880 Speaker 1: if they find themselves with the lead in the future, 94 00:04:15,920 --> 00:04:18,480 Speaker 1: as we saw in the game you were at against Jacksonville, 95 00:04:18,680 --> 00:04:20,000 Speaker 1: you'd be able to close it out if you can 96 00:04:20,080 --> 00:04:23,160 Speaker 1: run the football. They could not do that previously. And well, 97 00:04:23,200 --> 00:04:24,799 Speaker 1: we'll have plenty of time to get into the personnel. 98 00:04:24,839 --> 00:04:27,360 Speaker 1: They need to add speed receiver, a bigger back to 99 00:04:27,440 --> 00:04:30,120 Speaker 1: compliment Austin that we're going forward. But I think these 100 00:04:30,120 --> 00:04:32,280 Speaker 1: coaching hires are going to be big for them. Yeah, No, 101 00:04:32,360 --> 00:04:34,039 Speaker 1: they're gonna be huge. And I think also when you 102 00:04:34,040 --> 00:04:36,880 Speaker 1: think about the overarching theme of the team. Brandon's Daily 103 00:04:36,920 --> 00:04:38,760 Speaker 1: likes to standard de potium and talk about his team 104 00:04:38,760 --> 00:04:42,040 Speaker 1: being a tough, physical football team. Sometimes you want to 105 00:04:42,080 --> 00:04:46,080 Speaker 1: make sure that the actions master words, meaning that in 106 00:04:46,160 --> 00:04:49,800 Speaker 1: these critical moments when you need to get the dirty yards, 107 00:04:49,839 --> 00:04:52,599 Speaker 1: that your first impulse is not to throw it, but 108 00:04:52,680 --> 00:04:54,480 Speaker 1: sometimes you may hand it to a running back because 109 00:04:54,480 --> 00:04:56,760 Speaker 1: there's a level of toughness that you have to show 110 00:04:56,960 --> 00:04:58,920 Speaker 1: when you try and grind it out in those moments. 111 00:04:58,960 --> 00:05:01,680 Speaker 1: And so I think all of the stuff that happened 112 00:05:01,960 --> 00:05:04,560 Speaker 1: last season and this I mean well this season, and 113 00:05:04,640 --> 00:05:06,719 Speaker 1: the stuff that happened to the playoffs can't help the 114 00:05:06,800 --> 00:05:10,000 Speaker 1: Charts become a better team and probably a more dynamic 115 00:05:10,080 --> 00:05:12,360 Speaker 1: team if they're able to add the running game. I'm 116 00:05:12,400 --> 00:05:14,120 Speaker 1: curious to see who they hire is gonna because it's 117 00:05:14,160 --> 00:05:17,000 Speaker 1: a big one. It's a huge one for Brandon's Daily. Yeah, 118 00:05:17,000 --> 00:05:19,640 Speaker 1: six coordinator jobs open on the offensive side of the ball. 119 00:05:19,960 --> 00:05:22,960 Speaker 1: To see what names emerged for those gigs? Are they 120 00:05:23,040 --> 00:05:25,560 Speaker 1: rehashed old names of the young up and comers. Creative 121 00:05:25,560 --> 00:05:28,039 Speaker 1: minds have something to follow here as we move forward. 122 00:05:28,040 --> 00:05:30,560 Speaker 1: Another piece of news just came down uh in the 123 00:05:30,960 --> 00:05:33,160 Speaker 1: in the recent past. Here the Cardinals they hire Monty 124 00:05:33,200 --> 00:05:34,919 Speaker 1: Austin for the guy who used to scout with on 125 00:05:34,960 --> 00:05:36,560 Speaker 1: the road. You see money all the time when he 126 00:05:36,600 --> 00:05:39,760 Speaker 1: was with the Patriots. Are really really good dude. Spent 127 00:05:39,839 --> 00:05:41,680 Speaker 1: a long time when a lot of Super Bowls there 128 00:05:41,680 --> 00:05:44,160 Speaker 1: in New England. Then went on to uh to Tennessee 129 00:05:44,240 --> 00:05:46,440 Speaker 1: with John Robinson, who he knew from their days with 130 00:05:46,480 --> 00:05:49,560 Speaker 1: the Patriots and was working there in their front office. 131 00:05:49,560 --> 00:05:52,800 Speaker 1: He gets the job there with the Cardinals. Now, I 132 00:05:53,200 --> 00:05:55,799 Speaker 1: like Money a lot. I think Money is really sharp. 133 00:05:55,880 --> 00:05:58,760 Speaker 1: I think he knows what he's doing. At the press conference, though, 134 00:05:58,760 --> 00:06:00,960 Speaker 1: I was taken aback, little bit buck, and I'd like 135 00:06:01,040 --> 00:06:02,680 Speaker 1: to get your thoughts on it, because tell your tweet 136 00:06:02,680 --> 00:06:05,000 Speaker 1: about it. Talked about how we don't want any ego, 137 00:06:05,600 --> 00:06:08,520 Speaker 1: We don't want any ego in this organization, and then 138 00:06:08,680 --> 00:06:11,240 Speaker 1: he used the phrase kind of the Cardinal Way, which 139 00:06:11,279 --> 00:06:12,720 Speaker 1: is a little bit of a takeoff there on the 140 00:06:12,720 --> 00:06:16,280 Speaker 1: Patriot Way. Just your thoughts on kind of the way 141 00:06:16,279 --> 00:06:17,920 Speaker 1: this thing is headed and what they need to do 142 00:06:18,400 --> 00:06:20,760 Speaker 1: to get that ship right in there in Arizona. Yeah, 143 00:06:20,880 --> 00:06:22,680 Speaker 1: I just think you have to be careful and I 144 00:06:22,720 --> 00:06:24,560 Speaker 1: hope for minding say because he is a good scout. 145 00:06:24,560 --> 00:06:26,640 Speaker 1: He is a good dude. Uh haven't seen him and 146 00:06:26,680 --> 00:06:28,839 Speaker 1: watched him on the road, Like the one thing that 147 00:06:28,880 --> 00:06:31,279 Speaker 1: you want to be careful his dad, Uh, your vision 148 00:06:31,320 --> 00:06:33,400 Speaker 1: for the team is your vision is not where you 149 00:06:33,440 --> 00:06:35,480 Speaker 1: came from in all stings. And I saw other quotes 150 00:06:35,480 --> 00:06:38,000 Speaker 1: where you talked about every building is different. And so 151 00:06:38,080 --> 00:06:40,320 Speaker 1: he just has to realize that the culture in Arizona 152 00:06:40,640 --> 00:06:42,320 Speaker 1: is gonna be vastly different than what you had in 153 00:06:42,360 --> 00:06:44,400 Speaker 1: Tennessee and what you had in New England, and you 154 00:06:44,440 --> 00:06:47,000 Speaker 1: have to be able to take all those experiences, put 155 00:06:47,040 --> 00:06:49,960 Speaker 1: them together and make it right for what you have 156 00:06:50,120 --> 00:06:52,960 Speaker 1: in front of you with the Arizona Cardinals. I'll say this, 157 00:06:53,240 --> 00:06:54,839 Speaker 1: I was a little taken it back when he said 158 00:06:54,920 --> 00:06:57,160 Speaker 1: the ego thing, because I was like, man, to have 159 00:06:57,279 --> 00:06:59,680 Speaker 1: any confidence in they swag, you gotta have a lot 160 00:06:59,680 --> 00:07:01,960 Speaker 1: of sell off esteem and self belief. And so what 161 00:07:02,120 --> 00:07:04,480 Speaker 1: I think he might have been trying to convey his Hey, 162 00:07:04,520 --> 00:07:07,760 Speaker 1: we don't want the selfishness, the stuff where people are 163 00:07:07,880 --> 00:07:11,480 Speaker 1: that's putting themselves over the team and that stuff. Like 164 00:07:11,760 --> 00:07:14,440 Speaker 1: if he's talking about that, cool, but if he's trying 165 00:07:14,520 --> 00:07:17,480 Speaker 1: to make this team one, that's a collection of robots 166 00:07:17,520 --> 00:07:19,480 Speaker 1: that won't work. And I think that is a struggle 167 00:07:19,560 --> 00:07:22,640 Speaker 1: that some Patriots guys have had when they've gone and 168 00:07:22,720 --> 00:07:25,520 Speaker 1: run their own programs. They may try and run it 169 00:07:25,800 --> 00:07:28,640 Speaker 1: like the Patriots, but they don't necessarily will the same 170 00:07:28,760 --> 00:07:32,160 Speaker 1: hammer that Bill belichicks. I think in time he will 171 00:07:32,600 --> 00:07:35,000 Speaker 1: figure out the personality that he wants to the team. 172 00:07:35,200 --> 00:07:37,560 Speaker 1: I just hope that he's careful that he doesn't choke 173 00:07:37,600 --> 00:07:41,000 Speaker 1: down all the personality from those players, because everyone isn't 174 00:07:41,000 --> 00:07:42,560 Speaker 1: the same and you've got to be able to get 175 00:07:42,560 --> 00:07:45,480 Speaker 1: a collection of fifty three heading in the right direction, 176 00:07:45,760 --> 00:07:49,640 Speaker 1: and sometimes that takes a bunch of different personalities on 177 00:07:49,680 --> 00:07:52,000 Speaker 1: the squad. Well. I know a lot of criticism for 178 00:07:52,320 --> 00:07:53,880 Speaker 1: some of the first round picks. They had their in 179 00:07:53,880 --> 00:07:56,760 Speaker 1: Tennessee that didn't work out, But I do think what 180 00:07:57,120 --> 00:07:59,280 Speaker 1: John Robinson was able to accomplish and Monty had a 181 00:07:59,320 --> 00:08:01,280 Speaker 1: front row Sea there was they had an identity. They 182 00:08:01,280 --> 00:08:04,080 Speaker 1: were physical, uh, they were a line of scrimmage team, 183 00:08:04,200 --> 00:08:05,920 Speaker 1: and Mike Vrabel was a part of that as well. 184 00:08:05,920 --> 00:08:07,680 Speaker 1: So I think I'm all for that. If you want 185 00:08:07,680 --> 00:08:09,640 Speaker 1: to take that from the Patriots to Tennessee like they 186 00:08:09,640 --> 00:08:11,760 Speaker 1: didn't take that to Arizona, I'm fine with that. We're 187 00:08:11,760 --> 00:08:14,240 Speaker 1: gonna be physical, we're gonna be tough. We're gonna find 188 00:08:14,240 --> 00:08:16,720 Speaker 1: tough minded guys. But yeah, you gotta have some personality. 189 00:08:16,720 --> 00:08:18,840 Speaker 1: You've gotta have some brashness. You're gonna have some swagger. 190 00:08:18,840 --> 00:08:21,160 Speaker 1: There's absolutely nothing wrong with that. I think you hit it, though. 191 00:08:21,200 --> 00:08:23,760 Speaker 1: Selfish is the thing you're trying to avoid there. And 192 00:08:23,800 --> 00:08:26,200 Speaker 1: I think he's Look, he's sending a message to the 193 00:08:26,280 --> 00:08:29,080 Speaker 1: quarterback through what he's saying. I think that's pretty obviously 194 00:08:29,800 --> 00:08:32,839 Speaker 1: I understand how I interpreted that. I mean, I mean, yeah, 195 00:08:33,920 --> 00:08:36,000 Speaker 1: get that. I mean, I think that's a direct message, 196 00:08:36,280 --> 00:08:39,400 Speaker 1: direct message. And he was kind of speaking the quarterback's 197 00:08:39,480 --> 00:08:42,520 Speaker 1: language by doing it through the press. And so he's 198 00:08:42,600 --> 00:08:45,200 Speaker 1: letting him know, he's putting all of those guys because 199 00:08:45,200 --> 00:08:48,160 Speaker 1: there's some other guys too, He's putting everyone on notice 200 00:08:48,400 --> 00:08:50,360 Speaker 1: that it's going to be a change and everyone needs 201 00:08:50,400 --> 00:08:52,240 Speaker 1: to fall in live. And so he would do that 202 00:08:52,320 --> 00:08:54,720 Speaker 1: before he has that first meeting where he meets with 203 00:08:54,760 --> 00:08:57,439 Speaker 1: not only the organization, but when he meets with the team, 204 00:08:57,720 --> 00:08:59,640 Speaker 1: to lift him know, Hey, here's how we're going to 205 00:08:59,679 --> 00:09:03,160 Speaker 1: proceive going forward, no doubt. All right, we're gonna get 206 00:09:03,200 --> 00:09:05,120 Speaker 1: a little bit later on the show to talk about 207 00:09:05,360 --> 00:09:07,280 Speaker 1: some top corners in this draft as we kind of 208 00:09:07,320 --> 00:09:09,839 Speaker 1: get closer. Now, I'm gonna be digging in a lot 209 00:09:09,880 --> 00:09:11,960 Speaker 1: on these players. Buck he's watching him as well. He's 210 00:09:11,960 --> 00:09:14,280 Speaker 1: gonna have his his top five lists. I'm gonna have 211 00:09:14,320 --> 00:09:16,520 Speaker 1: my top fifty list. It's that time of year, mock drafts, 212 00:09:16,520 --> 00:09:18,319 Speaker 1: all that good stuff. So we'll talk about some corners 213 00:09:18,360 --> 00:09:20,439 Speaker 1: a little bit later on in the show, as well 214 00:09:20,480 --> 00:09:22,640 Speaker 1: as the top twenty five rookies from this past season. 215 00:09:22,640 --> 00:09:24,320 Speaker 1: But I do want to quickly before we get out 216 00:09:24,320 --> 00:09:27,040 Speaker 1: and take a little break here. Cowboys Bucks last night 217 00:09:27,040 --> 00:09:29,880 Speaker 1: it was a thrashing. I thought the Cowboys pass rush, 218 00:09:29,960 --> 00:09:32,520 Speaker 1: which had been a little missing over the last month 219 00:09:32,559 --> 00:09:34,960 Speaker 1: and change, showed up in a big way. A lot 220 00:09:34,960 --> 00:09:37,640 Speaker 1: of fore man pressure and they got after Tom Brady, 221 00:09:37,679 --> 00:09:39,760 Speaker 1: and I think not only a credit to them and 222 00:09:39,800 --> 00:09:41,719 Speaker 1: what they're able to do creating pressure on Brady, I 223 00:09:41,760 --> 00:09:44,199 Speaker 1: think it was a reminder man, Tom Brady has to 224 00:09:44,240 --> 00:09:45,679 Speaker 1: move two inches to the left or to the right. 225 00:09:45,720 --> 00:09:48,240 Speaker 1: He is not the same quarterback. Yeah, you know, DJ, 226 00:09:48,360 --> 00:09:51,120 Speaker 1: this is funny. Um, you wouldn't think this at the time, 227 00:09:51,160 --> 00:09:53,719 Speaker 1: But the best thing that happened to the Cowboys might 228 00:09:53,760 --> 00:09:55,439 Speaker 1: have been the thrashing that they took it to hands 229 00:09:55,440 --> 00:09:58,320 Speaker 1: of the commanders in week eighteen, because when you have 230 00:09:58,400 --> 00:10:02,160 Speaker 1: a loss the way that they had, they certainly, uh 231 00:10:02,200 --> 00:10:05,400 Speaker 1: the coaches have their attention, meaning that now Mike McCarthy 232 00:10:05,360 --> 00:10:07,160 Speaker 1: and those guys said, hey, guys, we tried it your way, 233 00:10:07,320 --> 00:10:10,480 Speaker 1: it didn't work. Here's how we're going to attack this 234 00:10:10,559 --> 00:10:13,240 Speaker 1: game in the wild card round. And that is the 235 00:10:13,240 --> 00:10:17,400 Speaker 1: best that I've seen the Cowboys play in a long time. Offensively, defensively, 236 00:10:17,400 --> 00:10:19,880 Speaker 1: they were tied together with the exception of their kicking 237 00:10:19,880 --> 00:10:22,360 Speaker 1: woes with the p a t that they have to 238 00:10:22,400 --> 00:10:26,440 Speaker 1: figure out quickly how to resolve. Man, they played really good, 239 00:10:26,520 --> 00:10:30,280 Speaker 1: complimentary football, random ball. Dak Prescott was in his bag, 240 00:10:30,559 --> 00:10:33,679 Speaker 1: didn't turn it over, made smart decisions. And then we 241 00:10:33,760 --> 00:10:36,320 Speaker 1: talked about the defense and how they knocked Tom Brady around. 242 00:10:36,559 --> 00:10:39,760 Speaker 1: Michael Parsons was all over the place, and the defense 243 00:10:39,800 --> 00:10:42,480 Speaker 1: looked fast, and they're gonna need to kind of take 244 00:10:42,520 --> 00:10:45,360 Speaker 1: that effort, bottle it up, and they have to duplicate 245 00:10:45,400 --> 00:10:49,520 Speaker 1: it when they have an opportunity on the Fortins next weekend. Yeah, 246 00:10:49,679 --> 00:10:51,400 Speaker 1: I'm you know, we'll have plenty of time to dig 247 00:10:51,440 --> 00:10:53,480 Speaker 1: into that game will preview on the next podcast. But 248 00:10:53,520 --> 00:10:55,520 Speaker 1: I'm fascinating to see what the forty Diners do. They 249 00:10:55,520 --> 00:10:58,719 Speaker 1: came out throwing it last week against the Seahawks. I 250 00:10:58,760 --> 00:11:01,320 Speaker 1: would imagine seeing this boys pass rush get heated up 251 00:11:01,320 --> 00:11:03,160 Speaker 1: a little bit. I think you said the Niners, you 252 00:11:03,200 --> 00:11:04,559 Speaker 1: know a little bit of an audible here, try and 253 00:11:04,600 --> 00:11:06,319 Speaker 1: run the football, try and see things. Get those guys 254 00:11:06,360 --> 00:11:08,400 Speaker 1: in their heels a little bit, slow them down. Uh, 255 00:11:08,480 --> 00:11:10,760 Speaker 1: do not let that Cowboys pass rush gets cranked up. 256 00:11:10,760 --> 00:11:13,680 Speaker 1: If the pass rush plays like this, they have a 257 00:11:13,720 --> 00:11:16,040 Speaker 1: good shot of knocking off San Francisco. As good as 258 00:11:16,080 --> 00:11:18,640 Speaker 1: San Francisco is. I mean, Dak plays like he played 259 00:11:19,040 --> 00:11:22,320 Speaker 1: um getting a chance to you know, really stay inside 260 00:11:22,360 --> 00:11:24,240 Speaker 1: the pocket, make things happen. He was able to extend 261 00:11:24,280 --> 00:11:26,360 Speaker 1: some plays, move around and make things happen. It's a 262 00:11:26,480 --> 00:11:28,400 Speaker 1: dangerous Cowboy team. You know, we kind of haven't been 263 00:11:28,400 --> 00:11:29,920 Speaker 1: talking about them for a while. They haven'ten playing their 264 00:11:29,920 --> 00:11:31,439 Speaker 1: best ball. But if they show up and play to 265 00:11:31,559 --> 00:11:34,160 Speaker 1: their level, to their ceiling, that they'll more than give 266 00:11:34,240 --> 00:11:37,280 Speaker 1: San Francisco ball game. Yeah. Absolutely. Then the number one 267 00:11:37,360 --> 00:11:41,760 Speaker 1: thing that Dallas has to answer toughness and physicality. Last time, 268 00:11:41,800 --> 00:11:45,080 Speaker 1: they played in the postseason, the San Francisco forty Niners 269 00:11:45,120 --> 00:11:48,440 Speaker 1: beat them up. How far how much progress have the 270 00:11:48,480 --> 00:11:52,480 Speaker 1: Cowboys made in that area coming to this game. That 271 00:11:52,640 --> 00:11:53,920 Speaker 1: is what it's gonna come down to. We can talk 272 00:11:53,960 --> 00:11:55,880 Speaker 1: about all the xs and os, but you know how 273 00:11:55,920 --> 00:11:57,840 Speaker 1: the forty Niners want to play. They're gonna want to 274 00:11:57,840 --> 00:11:59,720 Speaker 1: make it a fist fight in a phone booth, and 275 00:11:59,760 --> 00:12:02,080 Speaker 1: we we'll see if the Cowboys can take some of 276 00:12:02,080 --> 00:12:04,360 Speaker 1: the glisten glam and put it a ray and put 277 00:12:04,600 --> 00:12:07,360 Speaker 1: on a performance as a blue collar squad that is 278 00:12:07,400 --> 00:12:09,960 Speaker 1: something that typically has not been in New DNA. No 279 00:12:10,080 --> 00:12:12,200 Speaker 1: doubt that'll be a funnel one. Again. We'll preview that 280 00:12:12,240 --> 00:12:13,800 Speaker 1: on the next episode. All Right, we're gonna take a 281 00:12:13,840 --> 00:12:15,880 Speaker 1: quick little break right now. When we come back, we're 282 00:12:15,880 --> 00:12:20,000 Speaker 1: gonna dig into the top twenty five rookies of the campaign. 283 00:12:20,480 --> 00:12:23,040 Speaker 1: Some teams showing up with multiple members, including one team 284 00:12:23,080 --> 00:12:25,960 Speaker 1: that had four in the top twenty five, will jump 285 00:12:25,960 --> 00:12:32,480 Speaker 1: into that right after this break.

We 296 00:12:58,760 --> 00:13:00,840 Speaker 1: start with a couple of Jets in the top three. 297 00:13:00,920 --> 00:13:04,640 Speaker 1: Sauce Gardner number one, Garrett Wilson uh number three. In 298 00:13:04,679 --> 00:13:08,360 Speaker 1: between them, you've got Aiden Hutchinson from the Lions, followed 299 00:13:08,400 --> 00:13:11,680 Speaker 1: by Chris Olave at four. Here we've got Tarik Woolen 300 00:13:11,880 --> 00:13:16,079 Speaker 1: Seahawks at five, Kenneth Walker, Seahawks at six, Brock Party, 301 00:13:16,080 --> 00:13:18,000 Speaker 1: who we're gonna get to in just a minute. He's 302 00:13:18,000 --> 00:13:20,960 Speaker 1: there at seven, Jalen Petrie from the Texans at eight, 303 00:13:21,000 --> 00:13:24,240 Speaker 1: another Texans player Damian Pierce at nine, and George Carl 304 00:13:24,240 --> 00:13:28,160 Speaker 1: Loftus at ten from the Chiefs. The Lions four players 305 00:13:28,240 --> 00:13:30,360 Speaker 1: in the top twenty five. Heck of a rookie class 306 00:13:30,360 --> 00:13:32,160 Speaker 1: and one of the main reasons they're able to get 307 00:13:32,160 --> 00:13:34,280 Speaker 1: this season turned around. And I would say the Jets, 308 00:13:34,880 --> 00:13:36,720 Speaker 1: if you don't have the injury to Bruce Hall the 309 00:13:36,720 --> 00:13:38,720 Speaker 1: way he was kind of rolling, they might end up 310 00:13:38,760 --> 00:13:40,880 Speaker 1: with the top three rookies in the entire class. You know, 311 00:13:41,360 --> 00:13:43,120 Speaker 1: I think there's a common denominator in terms of the 312 00:13:43,200 --> 00:13:46,720 Speaker 1: rookie class performing as it related to the performance of 313 00:13:46,760 --> 00:13:48,960 Speaker 1: the team. A lot of times when we talk about 314 00:13:48,960 --> 00:13:51,679 Speaker 1: the draft, DJ we get excited about draft picks, but 315 00:13:51,880 --> 00:13:54,880 Speaker 1: we normally don't expect the class to make a significant 316 00:13:54,920 --> 00:13:57,200 Speaker 1: impact on the performance of the team. When when you 317 00:13:57,200 --> 00:13:59,520 Speaker 1: look at a handful of teams, the New York Jets, 318 00:13:59,559 --> 00:14:03,760 Speaker 1: the deech Lions, the Seattle Seahawks, their rookie classes came 319 00:14:03,880 --> 00:14:06,800 Speaker 1: in and helped them probably play at a higher level 320 00:14:06,800 --> 00:14:09,280 Speaker 1: than we ever expected. And so when you get that 321 00:14:09,400 --> 00:14:13,000 Speaker 1: kind of immediate impact and production from your rookie class, 322 00:14:13,240 --> 00:14:16,280 Speaker 1: it not only speaks to the scouting department doing a 323 00:14:16,320 --> 00:14:19,000 Speaker 1: really good job identifying guys that are great fits. It 324 00:14:19,040 --> 00:14:23,160 Speaker 1: speaks to the coaching staff developing and also putting those 325 00:14:23,200 --> 00:14:26,320 Speaker 1: players on the field to give them an opportunity to play. 326 00:14:26,400 --> 00:14:29,160 Speaker 1: So much of the struggles that we have as an 327 00:14:29,240 --> 00:14:32,400 Speaker 1: organization steals from a the front office and the coach 328 00:14:32,520 --> 00:14:35,320 Speaker 1: is not being a line the front office likes players, 329 00:14:35,320 --> 00:14:37,600 Speaker 1: coaches are looking for the veterans. But in each of 330 00:14:37,640 --> 00:14:40,880 Speaker 1: those situations there was complete alignment. Because of that, you 331 00:14:40,960 --> 00:14:43,560 Speaker 1: had opportunities for the young guys, and the guys take 332 00:14:43,560 --> 00:14:45,920 Speaker 1: advantage of their chances. Yeah, the exciting thing is in 333 00:14:46,000 --> 00:14:49,200 Speaker 1: Seattle and in Detroit, you're gonna have the same coaching staff, 334 00:14:49,240 --> 00:14:51,480 Speaker 1: the same philosophy. I think these guys taking even bigger 335 00:14:51,560 --> 00:14:53,520 Speaker 1: leap here in year number two. You look at the 336 00:14:53,560 --> 00:14:55,240 Speaker 1: Texans having two in the top ten. You're gonna be 337 00:14:55,280 --> 00:14:58,520 Speaker 1: a new staff, new scheme, new philosophy. Hopefully those guys 338 00:14:59,080 --> 00:15:00,800 Speaker 1: pick up right where they left off and you don't 339 00:15:00,840 --> 00:15:02,880 Speaker 1: see a sophomore slump. Something to keep an eye on. 340 00:15:03,320 --> 00:15:05,560 Speaker 1: At number seven, there though, was Brock Purty. Obviously, the 341 00:15:05,600 --> 00:15:09,600 Speaker 1: quarterback position and how he's played would would require him 342 00:15:09,640 --> 00:15:11,560 Speaker 1: to be higher on the list. We just hadn't started 343 00:15:11,680 --> 00:15:14,040 Speaker 1: enough games. I couldn't put him over those other guys 344 00:15:14,040 --> 00:15:16,360 Speaker 1: based off the limited number of games that he's played. 345 00:15:16,640 --> 00:15:18,760 Speaker 1: But he is in the postseason, and he is a 346 00:15:18,800 --> 00:15:21,400 Speaker 1: young quarterback in the postseason, which is what I want 347 00:15:21,400 --> 00:15:23,480 Speaker 1: to get to next here, Buck, because we've got eight 348 00:15:23,480 --> 00:15:26,880 Speaker 1: teams left. The oldest quarterback left in the postseason is 349 00:15:26,960 --> 00:15:29,240 Speaker 1: Dak Prescott twenty nine years old, You've got My Homes 350 00:15:29,280 --> 00:15:32,720 Speaker 1: twenty seven, Josh Allen and Burrow at six, Daniel Jones 351 00:15:32,800 --> 00:15:37,280 Speaker 1: is twenty five, Hurts is, Trevor Lawrence, and Brock Purty three. 352 00:15:37,920 --> 00:15:40,720 Speaker 1: So the average age of the eight quarterbacks left is 353 00:15:40,760 --> 00:15:43,760 Speaker 1: twenty five years old. What do you take away from that? 354 00:15:43,800 --> 00:15:46,560 Speaker 1: What does it mean? It's a young man's game. And 355 00:15:46,720 --> 00:15:50,320 Speaker 1: as much as we loved seeing Aaron Rodgers and Tom 356 00:15:50,360 --> 00:15:54,200 Speaker 1: Brady and even Matt Ryan and Drew Brees, like, what 357 00:15:54,480 --> 00:15:56,920 Speaker 1: is the reality of the game is when you get older, 358 00:15:57,240 --> 00:16:01,760 Speaker 1: the lack of mobility really limits what you can do offensively. 359 00:16:02,160 --> 00:16:04,200 Speaker 1: All of the guys that you mentioned, not only the 360 00:16:04,280 --> 00:16:07,000 Speaker 1: age averaging out the twenty five, all of them are 361 00:16:07,480 --> 00:16:10,440 Speaker 1: outstanding athletes. You know, when we put the grade on them, 362 00:16:10,480 --> 00:16:12,520 Speaker 1: all those guys were great out at B B plus 363 00:16:12,600 --> 00:16:15,760 Speaker 1: athletes or better. And so when you think about the game, 364 00:16:15,880 --> 00:16:18,160 Speaker 1: you think about the defense and the pass rushas that 365 00:16:18,160 --> 00:16:21,200 Speaker 1: are playing in our league, and the superheroes that can 366 00:16:21,360 --> 00:16:23,200 Speaker 1: leap to all buildings in a single bound, and the 367 00:16:23,240 --> 00:16:25,960 Speaker 1: big guys up front that can push the pocket. Uh, 368 00:16:26,040 --> 00:16:29,320 Speaker 1: you cannot play with a sitting Ducade quarterback anymore, and 369 00:16:29,360 --> 00:16:32,200 Speaker 1: so teams are realizing that you're taking advantage of the 370 00:16:32,200 --> 00:16:35,240 Speaker 1: athleticism that these young quarterbacks that are coming into the 371 00:16:35,280 --> 00:16:38,480 Speaker 1: league possessed. You also, for a lot of them are 372 00:16:38,520 --> 00:16:41,040 Speaker 1: taking advantage of the rookie contract. And so when you 373 00:16:41,040 --> 00:16:43,320 Speaker 1: have the rookie contract and you can surround these guys 374 00:16:43,520 --> 00:16:47,480 Speaker 1: with better uh firepower and playmakers on the perimeter, it 375 00:16:47,600 --> 00:16:50,160 Speaker 1: gives them a chance to have success. And so we 376 00:16:50,280 --> 00:16:52,600 Speaker 1: talked about it. We talked about it over and over again. 377 00:16:52,920 --> 00:16:55,040 Speaker 1: The one thing that I would like to see, not 378 00:16:55,080 --> 00:16:58,280 Speaker 1: necessarily in this case, but with other cases. It takes 379 00:16:58,320 --> 00:17:00,600 Speaker 1: patience with some of these guys, is if you're gonna 380 00:17:00,600 --> 00:17:04,399 Speaker 1: put young guys on the field, it takes patience, particularly 381 00:17:04,440 --> 00:17:07,960 Speaker 1: if you don't have everything right around him. You gotta 382 00:17:08,040 --> 00:17:10,240 Speaker 1: give them time to develop and see him pop. And 383 00:17:10,240 --> 00:17:12,760 Speaker 1: I think Daniel Jones is a testament to that. Yeah, 384 00:17:12,800 --> 00:17:14,560 Speaker 1: and you've got a couple of them that have already 385 00:17:14,600 --> 00:17:16,879 Speaker 1: been paid. We've talked a lot about over the years 386 00:17:16,920 --> 00:17:18,720 Speaker 1: being on a rookie deal and how that allows you 387 00:17:18,760 --> 00:17:21,280 Speaker 1: to spread your resources elsewhere because the quarterback doesn't cost 388 00:17:21,280 --> 00:17:23,480 Speaker 1: you that much. You look at it here, you've got 389 00:17:23,520 --> 00:17:25,399 Speaker 1: you know, parties on a rookie deal, Trevors on a 390 00:17:25,480 --> 00:17:27,920 Speaker 1: rookie deal, Hurts is on a rookie deal, Daniel Jones 391 00:17:27,960 --> 00:17:30,960 Speaker 1: on a rookie deal, Burrow still on a rookie deal, 392 00:17:31,200 --> 00:17:33,879 Speaker 1: Josh Allen, Mahomes and and Doc have all been paid. 393 00:17:33,960 --> 00:17:35,720 Speaker 1: So a little bit of a mixture there. I think 394 00:17:35,760 --> 00:17:38,800 Speaker 1: what you see is those older guys on this list, 395 00:17:38,960 --> 00:17:42,399 Speaker 1: you know, relatively speaking, have have evolved enough where they 396 00:17:42,440 --> 00:17:44,840 Speaker 1: can carry people around and maybe they're missing a piece. 397 00:17:44,880 --> 00:17:46,679 Speaker 1: You look at the Kansas City. You can't afford to 398 00:17:46,680 --> 00:17:49,440 Speaker 1: bring everybody back, but the quarterbacks now gotten to the 399 00:17:49,520 --> 00:17:51,960 Speaker 1: level where he can build other guys around him and 400 00:17:52,000 --> 00:17:54,760 Speaker 1: elevate their level of play. Um, that's gonna be key 401 00:17:55,080 --> 00:17:57,320 Speaker 1: for these guys as they get to their second contract. 402 00:17:57,400 --> 00:18:00,719 Speaker 1: This this next wave that's right behind those guys. Um, 403 00:18:00,760 --> 00:18:04,200 Speaker 1: do you develop enough where you can afford to lose 404 00:18:04,280 --> 00:18:07,560 Speaker 1: some of your key players because you can elevate their play. 405 00:18:07,640 --> 00:18:09,720 Speaker 1: That's the kind of the mixture there on this list 406 00:18:09,760 --> 00:18:12,040 Speaker 1: of young quarterbacks. There is still a difference between the 407 00:18:12,080 --> 00:18:14,080 Speaker 1: guys who've got that second deal versus the guys on 408 00:18:14,119 --> 00:18:16,440 Speaker 1: the rookie deal. Yeah, DJ, you know, and here's here's 409 00:18:16,440 --> 00:18:19,000 Speaker 1: The funny thing, like, if you ask this um to 410 00:18:19,119 --> 00:18:22,119 Speaker 1: build a team, what I would suggest is the younger 411 00:18:22,160 --> 00:18:25,400 Speaker 1: the quarterback, the more experienced I want on the perimeter. 412 00:18:25,840 --> 00:18:28,439 Speaker 1: As that quarterback gets in the year four and five, 413 00:18:28,760 --> 00:18:32,760 Speaker 1: he should be able to develop from game manager to playmaker. 414 00:18:33,040 --> 00:18:35,919 Speaker 1: And as he becomes the playmaker, now I can remove 415 00:18:36,000 --> 00:18:39,760 Speaker 1: some of those older pieces for younger, cheaper pieces because 416 00:18:39,800 --> 00:18:43,919 Speaker 1: now my experience is in the quarterback. My quarterback is 417 00:18:44,000 --> 00:18:47,320 Speaker 1: now tasked with elevating the people around him. But I 418 00:18:47,359 --> 00:18:50,679 Speaker 1: think the team has to understand the evolution. They have 419 00:18:50,760 --> 00:18:53,560 Speaker 1: to foster that evolution, and as soon as he evolves 420 00:18:53,560 --> 00:18:56,480 Speaker 1: into that playmaker spot, then you can start removing some 421 00:18:56,560 --> 00:18:59,560 Speaker 1: of the older pieces while developing the younger pieces. And 422 00:18:59,560 --> 00:19:02,639 Speaker 1: you should didn't have to drop off. Kansas City is 423 00:19:03,040 --> 00:19:05,920 Speaker 1: the perfect example of that. Oh, they removed Tyrek Heel 424 00:19:05,960 --> 00:19:08,679 Speaker 1: to somebody other stuff, but Pat Mahomes was ready and 425 00:19:08,720 --> 00:19:10,560 Speaker 1: the offense hasn't skipped a beat. Now, what if I 426 00:19:10,600 --> 00:19:13,720 Speaker 1: want to see that evolution because as you pay the money. Yep, 427 00:19:14,240 --> 00:19:16,440 Speaker 1: that's another one, right, I mean that's Dallas Cowboys. Taka 428 00:19:16,480 --> 00:19:19,200 Speaker 1: Mary Cooper was a twenty million dollar receiver. He goes 429 00:19:19,240 --> 00:19:21,040 Speaker 1: off and and Doc. It was a little bit of 430 00:19:21,080 --> 00:19:23,440 Speaker 1: a roller coaster ride, but they trusted him. He's gonna 431 00:19:23,440 --> 00:19:25,160 Speaker 1: be able to elevate the rest of these guys, which 432 00:19:25,280 --> 00:19:27,040 Speaker 1: for the most part, he has, especially as you get 433 00:19:27,080 --> 00:19:29,240 Speaker 1: to the playoffs. The one that's interesting is Josh Allen. 434 00:19:29,240 --> 00:19:31,000 Speaker 1: I feel like I'm trying to rack my brain, like 435 00:19:31,000 --> 00:19:33,600 Speaker 1: what have they lost since he signed that big money deal. 436 00:19:34,760 --> 00:19:36,760 Speaker 1: I don't know how they're how braindon beans pulling it off, 437 00:19:36,800 --> 00:19:39,400 Speaker 1: but I feel like there's been any subtractions there on 438 00:19:39,440 --> 00:19:40,760 Speaker 1: that list. And I know there's gonna be a lot 439 00:19:40,800 --> 00:19:42,359 Speaker 1: of people that want to get paid. Gabe Davis is 440 00:19:42,359 --> 00:19:45,400 Speaker 1: probably gonna be in that mix going forward, but they 441 00:19:45,440 --> 00:19:47,760 Speaker 1: have they have been able to pay the quarterback without 442 00:19:47,760 --> 00:19:49,840 Speaker 1: really any subtractions. Off the top of my head. You 443 00:19:49,920 --> 00:19:52,159 Speaker 1: tell me if I'm missing anything, No, they don't. And 444 00:19:52,160 --> 00:19:53,840 Speaker 1: I always say the one thing that they haven't had 445 00:19:53,760 --> 00:19:56,800 Speaker 1: it they've been relatively cheap at the running back position. 446 00:19:57,119 --> 00:19:59,000 Speaker 1: There is a way to do this, DJ Like, we 447 00:19:59,040 --> 00:20:01,800 Speaker 1: always talked about the quarterback occupying the big piece of 448 00:20:01,800 --> 00:20:04,479 Speaker 1: the pie, and they do occupy that. Well, that just 449 00:20:04,560 --> 00:20:06,760 Speaker 1: means that some of the other people gotta take smaller 450 00:20:06,840 --> 00:20:09,760 Speaker 1: pieces of the five. And we know we talked about quarterbacks, 451 00:20:09,920 --> 00:20:12,960 Speaker 1: we talked about pass rushers and a handful of playmakers. 452 00:20:13,000 --> 00:20:15,920 Speaker 1: Those are the guys that get the big slices. Everybody else. 453 00:20:16,200 --> 00:20:18,560 Speaker 1: You gotta fit for yourself. And so that's where the 454 00:20:18,640 --> 00:20:20,760 Speaker 1: drafting comes in because you have to be able to 455 00:20:20,800 --> 00:20:26,320 Speaker 1: fill in the gaps with drafted players on cheap contracts. 456 00:20:26,640 --> 00:20:30,480 Speaker 1: And so it works hand in hand. And another example, 457 00:20:30,880 --> 00:20:33,640 Speaker 1: Trevor Lawrence took a major leap this year. Well let's 458 00:20:33,640 --> 00:20:36,040 Speaker 1: look at the weapons that they surrounded him. Christian Kirk, 459 00:20:36,320 --> 00:20:39,719 Speaker 1: free agent, Evan Ingram, free agent, Marvin Jones was an 460 00:20:39,720 --> 00:20:41,760 Speaker 1: older player that it has a free age a year 461 00:20:41,760 --> 00:20:45,399 Speaker 1: ago and Za Jones. And so that is how it 462 00:20:45,440 --> 00:20:49,600 Speaker 1: has to work. Young surrounded with experience. As he gets older, 463 00:20:49,800 --> 00:20:51,320 Speaker 1: then you can bring the young guys that they can 464 00:20:51,359 --> 00:20:53,800 Speaker 1: develop with him. I love it. It's smart. It's just 465 00:20:53,880 --> 00:20:56,320 Speaker 1: smart team building, really is what it is. Um, all right, 466 00:20:56,320 --> 00:20:58,240 Speaker 1: we're gonna take a quick break. We're gonna come back 467 00:20:58,280 --> 00:21:01,280 Speaker 1: here and we're gonna talk about these draft prospects. Focusing 468 00:21:01,280 --> 00:21:03,639 Speaker 1: one position. We're gonna get the corners passing league. As 469 00:21:03,640 --> 00:21:05,600 Speaker 1: we always say, you gotta be able to cover. I 470 00:21:05,640 --> 00:21:07,840 Speaker 1: think it's a pretty good draft for corners. We're gonna 471 00:21:07,840 --> 00:21:10,600 Speaker 1: dig into some of those names, uh and discuss right 472 00:21:10,640 --> 00:21:17,160 Speaker 1: after this. All right, Buck, It's it's that time of year. 473 00:21:17,200 --> 00:21:19,280 Speaker 1: I've got a mock draft I have to turn in 474 00:21:19,400 --> 00:21:21,480 Speaker 1: later today. I believe that I'll be coming out here soon. 475 00:21:21,840 --> 00:21:24,320 Speaker 1: Um So, been watching a ton of these dudes get 476 00:21:24,359 --> 00:21:26,520 Speaker 1: the top fifty coming out next week. I know. It's 477 00:21:26,960 --> 00:21:29,119 Speaker 1: it's that bear that jumps on both of our backs 478 00:21:29,200 --> 00:21:31,320 Speaker 1: this time of year, trying to get our arms around 479 00:21:31,359 --> 00:21:33,640 Speaker 1: this draft class. So what that means that I thought 480 00:21:33,680 --> 00:21:34,919 Speaker 1: i'd be fun just kind of maybe look at one 481 00:21:34,960 --> 00:21:37,240 Speaker 1: position and uh and have a little bit of a chat, 482 00:21:37,280 --> 00:21:40,480 Speaker 1: not even just about the players, but kind of philosophically 483 00:21:40,480 --> 00:21:43,359 Speaker 1: what we're thinking, where things are headed and scouting and 484 00:21:43,359 --> 00:21:46,639 Speaker 1: what's going to be appreciated and valued. So if we're 485 00:21:46,680 --> 00:21:48,879 Speaker 1: looking at corners, I'll give you kind of the clumps 486 00:21:48,920 --> 00:21:51,640 Speaker 1: that I have right now. We always talk, you know, hey, 487 00:21:51,680 --> 00:21:53,679 Speaker 1: get him in the right neighborhood early on. We'll get 488 00:21:53,760 --> 00:21:56,600 Speaker 1: him in the right house eventually. But for me, the 489 00:21:56,600 --> 00:21:59,960 Speaker 1: top corner in the draft is Devin Witherspoon from Illinois. 490 00:22:00,160 --> 00:22:05,720 Speaker 1: I think he's unbelievable man. Just instincts, outstanding route recognition, 491 00:22:05,960 --> 00:22:09,760 Speaker 1: drive and play the football is really really special. Now 492 00:22:09,960 --> 00:22:12,120 Speaker 1: he's gonna be a little light. He's listed at six 493 00:22:12,160 --> 00:22:14,720 Speaker 1: ft buck eighty, so he's probably five eleven and change, 494 00:22:14,720 --> 00:22:17,040 Speaker 1: hopefully puts on just a little bit of weight. But 495 00:22:17,280 --> 00:22:20,840 Speaker 1: an elite mover, elite instincts, and as you can see 496 00:22:20,880 --> 00:22:22,960 Speaker 1: here his ability to turn fine and play the ball 497 00:22:23,320 --> 00:22:26,560 Speaker 1: uh is exceptional. Just a big time, big time ball skills. 498 00:22:26,600 --> 00:22:29,439 Speaker 1: So that to me is is the best of the bunch. 499 00:22:29,600 --> 00:22:32,480 Speaker 1: And didn't really know much about him before I popped 500 00:22:32,480 --> 00:22:36,600 Speaker 1: on the tape, but man, to me, you know, ball recognition, 501 00:22:36,840 --> 00:22:40,400 Speaker 1: ball awareness, ball skills, you got movement to match that. 502 00:22:40,480 --> 00:22:42,640 Speaker 1: I'm gonna forgive a little bit of the size limitations 503 00:22:42,680 --> 00:22:44,560 Speaker 1: there in terms of the weight. Yeah, DJ, I think 504 00:22:44,600 --> 00:22:47,040 Speaker 1: when you're evaluating corners, I think it's important to separate 505 00:22:47,119 --> 00:22:49,399 Speaker 1: them in the right buckets. Like you have your bump 506 00:22:49,400 --> 00:22:53,040 Speaker 1: and run man demand corners, guys who have movement skills 507 00:22:53,040 --> 00:22:55,280 Speaker 1: and fluidity, and guys that might even be straight line 508 00:22:55,320 --> 00:22:58,480 Speaker 1: but they have exceptional athletic traits that allowed him to 509 00:22:58,520 --> 00:23:00,399 Speaker 1: snuff out people. And then you have your guys that 510 00:23:00,680 --> 00:23:03,880 Speaker 1: are what I call like the the off the ball. 511 00:23:04,200 --> 00:23:07,080 Speaker 1: Corners guys that can play with great instincts and awareness. 512 00:23:07,080 --> 00:23:09,520 Speaker 1: They can turn and drive and transition. They have great 513 00:23:09,560 --> 00:23:13,280 Speaker 1: ball skills because they're identally suited to play in zone coverage. 514 00:23:13,600 --> 00:23:16,320 Speaker 1: We're talking about witherspoone like and then just watching him 515 00:23:16,600 --> 00:23:19,560 Speaker 1: how easy he moves. He might be one of those 516 00:23:19,560 --> 00:23:22,359 Speaker 1: guys who has the full toolbox, meaning you may be 517 00:23:22,400 --> 00:23:24,560 Speaker 1: able to ask him to use a variety of techniques 518 00:23:24,560 --> 00:23:27,840 Speaker 1: and he's very comfortable on the corner. It's funny because 519 00:23:28,280 --> 00:23:31,200 Speaker 1: Sauce Gardner got kind of pegged as a nose the 520 00:23:31,320 --> 00:23:33,360 Speaker 1: nose guy, but then you watch him with the Jets 521 00:23:33,400 --> 00:23:35,320 Speaker 1: and he was able to do more things, had a 522 00:23:35,359 --> 00:23:37,600 Speaker 1: bunch of plays and and did a lot. And so 523 00:23:37,960 --> 00:23:40,360 Speaker 1: as much as we look at the tape for corners, 524 00:23:40,400 --> 00:23:44,000 Speaker 1: I believe it's necessary, it's almost mandatory. I gotta see 525 00:23:44,040 --> 00:23:46,520 Speaker 1: him work out in person because then I can really 526 00:23:46,560 --> 00:23:49,040 Speaker 1: see what tools they have. But in looking at him 527 00:23:49,040 --> 00:23:51,080 Speaker 1: on tape, Man witherspoone has a lot of stuff to 528 00:23:51,080 --> 00:23:52,919 Speaker 1: work with, very very excited about what he could be 529 00:23:52,920 --> 00:23:55,400 Speaker 1: at the next level. There's a play against Virginia Buck 530 00:23:55,440 --> 00:23:57,639 Speaker 1: He's in zone right, so he's outside on number one 531 00:23:57,760 --> 00:24:00,000 Speaker 1: number one comes inside. All of a sudden, you've got 532 00:24:00,040 --> 00:24:02,199 Speaker 1: the back to the flat. He passes him off. He 533 00:24:02,240 --> 00:24:04,200 Speaker 1: picks up the back, but he keeps his eyes back 534 00:24:04,240 --> 00:24:07,439 Speaker 1: towards the quarterback reads him. Gets from about the two 535 00:24:07,560 --> 00:24:09,640 Speaker 1: yard line down there in the red zone to the 536 00:24:09,680 --> 00:24:12,240 Speaker 1: back line to get his hand on a ball on 537 00:24:12,280 --> 00:24:15,399 Speaker 1: a back line throw coming from left to right. I'm like, 538 00:24:15,440 --> 00:24:17,800 Speaker 1: you know, he went from here to here to their bang. 539 00:24:17,960 --> 00:24:19,439 Speaker 1: Make a play on the ball. I was like, okay, 540 00:24:19,600 --> 00:24:22,640 Speaker 1: this guy can. As as my old quarterback coach used 541 00:24:22,640 --> 00:24:24,480 Speaker 1: to stay in college book, sometimes you gotta be able 542 00:24:24,520 --> 00:24:26,120 Speaker 1: to sit on the porch and see all the way 543 00:24:26,119 --> 00:24:29,600 Speaker 1: around the house. Uh. He has an unbelievable vision and 544 00:24:30,119 --> 00:24:32,479 Speaker 1: uh and instincts. Man, he is a He is a 545 00:24:32,520 --> 00:24:35,000 Speaker 1: really good player. So he was my highest rated guy. 546 00:24:35,080 --> 00:24:38,080 Speaker 1: Now the next group, I've got a bunch together. Brian 547 00:24:38,119 --> 00:24:41,439 Speaker 1: Branch who plays nickel for Alabama, who is just a 548 00:24:41,480 --> 00:24:45,480 Speaker 1: playmaker inside excellent blitz are tough, really good tackler. As 549 00:24:45,520 --> 00:24:47,639 Speaker 1: we talk about, you know, corners, being able to tackle 550 00:24:47,800 --> 00:24:50,120 Speaker 1: is big. They're gonna identify you and attack you and 551 00:24:50,119 --> 00:24:53,080 Speaker 1: and run fits. This guy's exceptional there. Now in terms 552 00:24:53,080 --> 00:24:56,240 Speaker 1: of like elite you know man and man skills good good, 553 00:24:56,280 --> 00:24:58,080 Speaker 1: not great. That's why I have him just a notch 554 00:24:58,119 --> 00:25:00,000 Speaker 1: below there. But I think he's gonna be a day 555 00:25:00,000 --> 00:25:03,000 Speaker 1: one Nickel Joey Porter Jr. Outside you know the name. 556 00:25:03,240 --> 00:25:05,480 Speaker 1: It's obviously you know we know how good of a player. 557 00:25:05,560 --> 00:25:07,720 Speaker 1: His dad was really long. He's gonna have I think 558 00:25:07,720 --> 00:25:10,760 Speaker 1: his arms almost thirty five inches. He's got ridiculous length, 559 00:25:11,000 --> 00:25:15,280 Speaker 1: rare length. Uh, toughness, he's a little bit leggy. Um 560 00:25:15,320 --> 00:25:17,879 Speaker 1: some of the you know, the fluidity and the suddenness 561 00:25:17,960 --> 00:25:20,800 Speaker 1: and urgency there, maybe more of a build up guy. 562 00:25:21,280 --> 00:25:23,560 Speaker 1: But those two guys are traveling together for me and 563 00:25:23,680 --> 00:25:27,280 Speaker 1: that next group again, and Nickel versus a big outside corner. 564 00:25:27,440 --> 00:25:29,800 Speaker 1: Be interesting to see how teams value the difference between 565 00:25:29,800 --> 00:25:32,320 Speaker 1: those two players. Yeah. The one thing that shows up 566 00:25:32,400 --> 00:25:35,320 Speaker 1: and in all the clips they both can tackle and 567 00:25:35,440 --> 00:25:38,639 Speaker 1: DJ we talked about. Now, Uh, you can't put the 568 00:25:38,680 --> 00:25:40,480 Speaker 1: guy out there that is just a cover corner. He 569 00:25:40,520 --> 00:25:41,879 Speaker 1: has to be able to tackle. He has to be 570 00:25:41,960 --> 00:25:45,160 Speaker 1: willing to engage as a run supporter. He also has 571 00:25:45,200 --> 00:25:48,000 Speaker 1: to be willing to tackle these big wide receivers. To 572 00:25:48,119 --> 00:25:51,160 Speaker 1: Deebo Samuel's I mean, look, even Traylon Burks from Tennessee 573 00:25:51,320 --> 00:25:54,240 Speaker 1: two twenty pounds. You have to be able to thump 574 00:25:54,240 --> 00:25:57,440 Speaker 1: and get people down. And so Enjoey Porter and Banks, 575 00:25:57,520 --> 00:25:59,720 Speaker 1: you're talking about two guys that are very comfortable playing 576 00:25:59,720 --> 00:26:02,600 Speaker 1: in ads. But both guys they see the ball, the 577 00:26:02,600 --> 00:26:05,400 Speaker 1: balls released, the attacked the receiver, they get him down. Man, 578 00:26:05,520 --> 00:26:07,399 Speaker 1: that is a huge check mark that you have to 579 00:26:07,440 --> 00:26:10,360 Speaker 1: put no longer can you ignore or kind of dismiss 580 00:26:10,400 --> 00:26:13,040 Speaker 1: some of the tackling Those guys hurt you in the 581 00:26:13,040 --> 00:26:15,560 Speaker 1: game's biggest moments. You have to be able to tackle 582 00:26:15,600 --> 00:26:18,679 Speaker 1: in today's game, no doubt. The next little tier for me, 583 00:26:18,760 --> 00:26:22,119 Speaker 1: the next little clump, I've got two guys. It's uh, 584 00:26:22,160 --> 00:26:25,200 Speaker 1: it's Christian Gonzalez from Oregon. Whose height, weight speed he's 585 00:26:25,240 --> 00:26:27,520 Speaker 1: gonna be you know, almost six two is gonna be 586 00:26:27,560 --> 00:26:30,920 Speaker 1: two hundred pounds. He can really run again similar to 587 00:26:31,040 --> 00:26:33,159 Speaker 1: Porter in that I don't know that it's just sudden 588 00:26:33,200 --> 00:26:35,600 Speaker 1: and urgent and immediate. Um, it's just kind of he's 589 00:26:35,640 --> 00:26:38,560 Speaker 1: a fluid, smooth mover. And then he can gain ground 590 00:26:38,760 --> 00:26:41,600 Speaker 1: uh down the field. And then one of my favorite players. 591 00:26:41,640 --> 00:26:43,400 Speaker 1: Now I makes to see how big is I don't 592 00:26:43,400 --> 00:26:45,399 Speaker 1: know what the way it is buck because he's listed 593 00:26:45,440 --> 00:26:47,840 Speaker 1: at six ft of buck eighty. Hey looks rail thin. 594 00:26:48,480 --> 00:26:51,560 Speaker 1: But get to know this dude, Emmanuel Forbes from Mississippi State. 595 00:26:51,880 --> 00:26:54,920 Speaker 1: This dude is a ball hawk. I think you have 596 00:26:55,080 --> 00:26:57,120 Speaker 1: three pick six is in the games I was watching. 597 00:26:57,440 --> 00:26:59,840 Speaker 1: One is a is a bubble in the Kentucky game. 598 00:27:00,040 --> 00:27:03,280 Speaker 1: He knows it, he sees it, flat foot drive, Uh 599 00:27:03,400 --> 00:27:06,600 Speaker 1: takes it back off Levis pick six? Um he was 600 00:27:06,840 --> 00:27:10,320 Speaker 1: I think was what East Tennessee State? He had another one. Um, 601 00:27:10,359 --> 00:27:12,639 Speaker 1: there's another game in here as well. Blocked the field 602 00:27:12,640 --> 00:27:14,320 Speaker 1: goal in the A and M game that I watched. 603 00:27:14,520 --> 00:27:17,240 Speaker 1: Just a football player, man, And I looked at him. 604 00:27:17,320 --> 00:27:19,320 Speaker 1: We're in that Mississippi State helmet, and I was thinking, 605 00:27:19,320 --> 00:27:21,800 Speaker 1: it's just like a Fred Smoot two point oh old 606 00:27:21,800 --> 00:27:24,040 Speaker 1: school Fred Smoot. That's who he reminded me of. And 607 00:27:24,040 --> 00:27:26,720 Speaker 1: then another guy was around later in his career with 608 00:27:26,760 --> 00:27:30,760 Speaker 1: the Ravens and Samaria roll Samaria Roll stick skinny, but 609 00:27:30,920 --> 00:27:34,240 Speaker 1: was just a football player with incredible instincts and ball skills. 610 00:27:34,280 --> 00:27:36,840 Speaker 1: So I hope he's not a hundred and sixty five pounds. 611 00:27:36,880 --> 00:27:38,720 Speaker 1: I don't know. I haven't seen him in person. I 612 00:27:38,760 --> 00:27:41,040 Speaker 1: just know his tape is freaking awesome man. He has 613 00:27:41,080 --> 00:27:44,320 Speaker 1: fun to watch. Yeah, yeah, tape is awesome. And when 614 00:27:44,320 --> 00:27:46,560 Speaker 1: you think about ball skills and how that matters DJ, 615 00:27:46,640 --> 00:27:48,680 Speaker 1: you don't have to look any further than Marcus Jones, 616 00:27:48,720 --> 00:27:52,679 Speaker 1: who made All Pro recognition for his return skills. But 617 00:27:52,760 --> 00:27:54,560 Speaker 1: he had a bunch of plays where he was always 618 00:27:54,560 --> 00:27:56,080 Speaker 1: around the ball. And when you go back and watch 619 00:27:56,119 --> 00:27:59,800 Speaker 1: the mat Houston, he was around it different stylistically, but 620 00:28:00,280 --> 00:28:02,879 Speaker 1: ball skills matter and it really translates well to the 621 00:28:02,920 --> 00:28:05,840 Speaker 1: National Football League. It's important that you understand fit in scheme. 622 00:28:05,920 --> 00:28:08,520 Speaker 1: Your scheme has to match what they bring to the table. 623 00:28:08,760 --> 00:28:11,280 Speaker 1: But those ball skills are hard to find, and it's 624 00:28:11,320 --> 00:28:13,720 Speaker 1: hard to find dbs that can catch it and track it, 625 00:28:14,040 --> 00:28:16,159 Speaker 1: no doubt. And the other pick six was in the 626 00:28:16,160 --> 00:28:17,680 Speaker 1: A and M game. By the way, looking at my notes, 627 00:28:17,680 --> 00:28:19,000 Speaker 1: he has a pick six in the n M game, 628 00:28:19,040 --> 00:28:22,080 Speaker 1: he has a block field goal. Anyways, good football player 629 00:28:22,280 --> 00:28:24,160 Speaker 1: the next tier for me. And we don't spend much 630 00:28:24,200 --> 00:28:25,480 Speaker 1: time here. I know we run out of time. But 631 00:28:25,560 --> 00:28:29,480 Speaker 1: Keiley Ringo from Georgia height weight, speed track background, gonna 632 00:28:29,520 --> 00:28:31,919 Speaker 1: run really really fast, just a little bit tight, little stiff. 633 00:28:31,920 --> 00:28:34,080 Speaker 1: You saw him get beat up a little bit in 634 00:28:34,119 --> 00:28:36,600 Speaker 1: the last couple of games of the year. A name 635 00:28:36,640 --> 00:28:39,720 Speaker 1: that people might not be familiar with, Deonte Banks from Maryland. 636 00:28:40,040 --> 00:28:42,680 Speaker 1: Another big, big corner is going to be close to 637 00:28:42,760 --> 00:28:45,400 Speaker 1: six to two pounds, and another one that can really run. 638 00:28:45,840 --> 00:28:48,640 Speaker 1: Uh he's in that group together. And then Tyreek Stevenson 639 00:28:49,000 --> 00:28:52,479 Speaker 1: is verified over six ft uh two hund four pounds 640 00:28:52,480 --> 00:28:56,240 Speaker 1: from Miami. He I would probably have Stevenson over over 641 00:28:56,400 --> 00:29:01,040 Speaker 1: the rest of this group. Uh. Fast, physical, tough, aggressive dude. 642 00:29:01,480 --> 00:29:04,080 Speaker 1: Um a game against your your tar heels, you got 643 00:29:04,160 --> 00:29:06,080 Speaker 1: beat up a little bit down the field, but a 644 00:29:06,120 --> 00:29:08,360 Speaker 1: good football player. And that's kind of that clump of 645 00:29:08,440 --> 00:29:10,520 Speaker 1: big corners. They're gonna ride together and we'll sort it 646 00:29:10,520 --> 00:29:12,640 Speaker 1: out as we go along. Okay, well, here's what we 647 00:29:12,680 --> 00:29:15,240 Speaker 1: do know. The National Football League is a copycat league. 648 00:29:15,480 --> 00:29:18,160 Speaker 1: The guys who had a media success as rookies were 649 00:29:18,200 --> 00:29:20,840 Speaker 1: all over six ft. You think about Sauce Gardner, you 650 00:29:20,880 --> 00:29:24,080 Speaker 1: think about twe Willing. So now all those guys that 651 00:29:24,200 --> 00:29:26,880 Speaker 1: are six ft or taller, they're going to get pushed 652 00:29:27,000 --> 00:29:30,040 Speaker 1: up because everyone saw the success to those long corners 653 00:29:30,040 --> 00:29:32,120 Speaker 1: head and they're going to kind of give them a 654 00:29:32,120 --> 00:29:34,880 Speaker 1: little bump up and give them the benefit of the doubt, 655 00:29:35,080 --> 00:29:37,520 Speaker 1: regardless of what their tape looks like. So when you're 656 00:29:37,600 --> 00:29:40,680 Speaker 1: six ft or higher, six ft of taller and you 657 00:29:40,760 --> 00:29:44,440 Speaker 1: have size and speed, yeah you're going and you're gonna 658 00:29:44,440 --> 00:29:47,239 Speaker 1: go early because people value that size you. You just 659 00:29:47,280 --> 00:29:50,400 Speaker 1: can't get enough big corners in your secondary. I should 660 00:29:50,400 --> 00:29:52,200 Speaker 1: have put Riley Moss from Iowa in there as well. 661 00:29:52,240 --> 00:29:55,280 Speaker 1: He's in that clump with me. And then right below that, um, 662 00:29:55,320 --> 00:29:57,560 Speaker 1: you've got Clark Phillips camp Smith. I know camp Smith's 663 00:29:57,600 --> 00:29:59,560 Speaker 1: going really really high in these mock drafts. I'm not 664 00:29:59,640 --> 00:30:02,040 Speaker 1: quite as high on him, but he's in that next 665 00:30:02,120 --> 00:30:04,040 Speaker 1: year for me. So a lot of different clumps to 666 00:30:04,040 --> 00:30:06,280 Speaker 1: to kind of sort through. Again. I let these guys 667 00:30:06,320 --> 00:30:08,400 Speaker 1: travel together through this process and you sort them out 668 00:30:08,400 --> 00:30:10,080 Speaker 1: as we go. Going to see a few of them 669 00:30:10,120 --> 00:30:12,600 Speaker 1: at the All Star Games here coming up as well. 670 00:30:12,640 --> 00:30:14,120 Speaker 1: So I just want to take a little time. Let's 671 00:30:14,120 --> 00:30:16,320 Speaker 1: just do a little little draft, dropping a little sprinkle 672 00:30:16,360 --> 00:30:18,840 Speaker 1: of draft there, uh in for everybody.
