WEBVTT - Nick Sirianni’s Extension, Brock Purdy’s Big Deal + Is J.J. McCarthy the NFL's biggest wild card in 2025? 0:00:00.840 --> 0:00:06.479 And now move the sticks with Daniel, Jeremiah and Bucky Brooks. 0:00:07.040 --> 0:00:09.400 What's up, everybody? Welcome into the sticks, DJ, Buck with 0:00:09.440 --> 0:00:10.840 your buck. What is going on? Man? 0:00:11.320 --> 0:00:13.520 Nothing? DJ, just getting ready for it. You know how 0:00:13.560 --> 0:00:16.799 this thing goes. Like we get to the end of 0:00:17.120 --> 0:00:20.480 the school year, we're about to go on summer break, 0:00:20.960 --> 0:00:24.160 try and make everything happen, graduations all that, you know. 0:00:24.720 --> 0:00:27.760 Oh yeah, I'm actually my son's got internship in as 0:00:27.800 --> 0:00:30.760 we've discussed before, in Nashville. So I'm in Nashville. I'm 0:00:30.800 --> 0:00:34.080 in downstairs in this apartment. Like they have these workrooms 0:00:34.120 --> 0:00:35.960 by the way, apartments from when we were coming up, 0:00:36.280 --> 0:00:40.240 they've come a long way. It's a lot nicer. They 0:00:40.320 --> 0:00:42.000 had this little work room, but there's a lot a 0:00:42.040 --> 0:00:43.600 lot of other people in these little workstations. So I 0:00:43.600 --> 0:00:46.000 think you're like, like trying to be doing real work. 0:00:46.360 --> 0:00:48.320 So if you hear the golf voice, Buckets, because I'm 0:00:48.360 --> 0:00:50.519 trying not to be that guy's trying. 0:00:50.280 --> 0:00:56.960 To How you doing, man, Man, I'm good, I'm good. 0:00:57.480 --> 0:00:59.600 I know we're going going to start off. I'll dit 0:00:59.640 --> 0:01:02.560 you do intro before we talk about some of this stuff, 0:01:02.600 --> 0:01:04.360 this news that's been happening all weekend, a lot of 0:01:04.400 --> 0:01:05.200 people getting paid. 0:01:05.319 --> 0:01:07.399 Yeah, well that's a good point. Let's start right there. 0:01:07.400 --> 0:01:08.640 It's time for Hot or Not brought you by with 0:01:08.680 --> 0:01:12.039 Sabi Hot cloud storage and literally just I don't know. 0:01:12.240 --> 0:01:15.040 Within the hour before recording this next Sirianni gets a 0:01:15.040 --> 0:01:17.679 new deal with the Philadelphia Eagles, and I was thinking of, 0:01:18.680 --> 0:01:20.560 you know, it's a great example, but it's not how 0:01:20.560 --> 0:01:23.000 you start, it's how you finish. If you think about 0:01:23.040 --> 0:01:25.640 the opening news conference and all the grief that he 0:01:25.720 --> 0:01:29.039 got from that, and then you go through you know, 0:01:29.120 --> 0:01:31.920 getting to a super Bowl and not getting the super Bowl, 0:01:32.000 --> 0:01:34.160 then you have a little bit of a setback, and 0:01:34.200 --> 0:01:35.840 then to get back into the super Bowl and then 0:01:35.880 --> 0:01:38.360 when it and now cash in. It's been it's been 0:01:38.400 --> 0:01:42.280 an interesting example to me of someone who's persevered through 0:01:42.319 --> 0:01:46.480 some rough moments, but someone who I think has the 0:01:46.560 --> 0:01:49.920 complete and uh and total faith of his team in 0:01:49.960 --> 0:01:52.440 his locker room, and it's it's shown by what he 0:01:52.480 --> 0:01:53.880 was able to accomplish and what they were able to 0:01:53.880 --> 0:01:55.000 accomplish this last year. 0:01:55.720 --> 0:01:58.640 Little man. I think sometimes DJ the best thing that 0:01:58.680 --> 0:02:00.680 can happen before head coaches. You get knocked back a 0:02:00.720 --> 0:02:04.440 little bit and you have to kind of reflect and 0:02:04.480 --> 0:02:06.720 re emerge as a little bit of a different guy. 0:02:07.240 --> 0:02:09.160 Nick Herean, he's done a great job when you look 0:02:09.200 --> 0:02:13.560 at what he's accomplished during his four years. But the Eagles. Look, 0:02:14.000 --> 0:02:16.960 he's been in two Super Bowls, He's won one. He 0:02:17.040 --> 0:02:20.560 has a seventy percent winning percentage, which is third highest 0:02:20.600 --> 0:02:25.560 among coaches we've had fifty games. I mean, we can 0:02:25.600 --> 0:02:27.840 say a lot about him being quirky, and some of 0:02:27.880 --> 0:02:31.760 that was impacted by the opening presser, but you can't 0:02:31.800 --> 0:02:34.520 dispute how good he is, where he call plays or not. 0:02:34.600 --> 0:02:36.240 He has figured out a way to get his team 0:02:36.280 --> 0:02:39.600 to the winner circle multiple occasions. He has unlocked some 0:02:39.680 --> 0:02:44.120 fantastic talents on offense and defense. And as the head 0:02:44.200 --> 0:02:47.000 coach and someone who I will say like he can 0:02:47.040 --> 0:02:49.480 be a little emotional, a little volado, but I think 0:02:49.520 --> 0:02:53.200 he fits the city. Look his work. I mean, forty 0:02:53.240 --> 0:02:55.360 eight and twenty is nothing to sneeze at. With two 0:02:55.440 --> 0:02:57.000 Super Bowl appearances in four years. 0:02:57.400 --> 0:03:00.480 What's the difference between Pat playing for someone who who's 0:03:01.800 --> 0:03:03.560 and I know you played for a lot of edgy guys, 0:03:03.600 --> 0:03:07.160 So I'm trying to think maybe Homarden wasn't quite as 0:03:07.280 --> 0:03:09.600 edgy You've told me this before, but I'm just curious. 0:03:09.639 --> 0:03:12.440 He's someone who is, as you mentioned, emotional, where's it 0:03:12.520 --> 0:03:15.080 on his sleeve? And I think there's different ways to 0:03:15.080 --> 0:03:17.200 do it. I mean, Andy Reid is not Andy Reid 0:03:17.320 --> 0:03:20.280 is like the exact opposite of that. But to me, 0:03:20.440 --> 0:03:23.079 he's kind of the poster child for someone who's passionate 0:03:23.200 --> 0:03:25.560 and doesn't hide it. So I'm just curious that someone 0:03:26.080 --> 0:03:27.440 is anybody you can think of like will be the 0:03:27.440 --> 0:03:28.960 poor opposites the guys you played for. 0:03:30.040 --> 0:03:33.480 I would say Marve Levy, Hall of Famer, the coach 0:03:33.639 --> 0:03:37.760 was real, quiet, cerebral, very matter of fact about what 0:03:37.840 --> 0:03:41.080 he was teaching and coaching. And then John Gruden was 0:03:41.080 --> 0:03:44.480 a fireball. I mean he was young, energetic like he was, 0:03:44.920 --> 0:03:48.880 I mean energy NonStop. He always wanted juice, very emotional 0:03:48.880 --> 0:03:51.440 award on his sleeve. You can see by his facial 0:03:51.520 --> 0:03:55.840 expressions exactly what he thought. A lot of coaches don't 0:03:55.880 --> 0:03:59.760 operate like that, you know, and so he's different. But 0:04:00.400 --> 0:04:03.760 I would say, depending on like, the messaging can be 0:04:03.800 --> 0:04:06.360 the same, they just deliver it in different ways. And 0:04:06.880 --> 0:04:10.480 for some guys, the fiery coach works for them. Some 0:04:10.600 --> 0:04:15.080 other guys the cerebral, very patient, very thought thought out, 0:04:15.120 --> 0:04:18.240 thoughtful coach works. Both can be successful. I think the 0:04:18.279 --> 0:04:21.160 big thing, and I think Sirianni found this out. You've 0:04:21.160 --> 0:04:23.400 got to be true to you. If you're authentic to 0:04:23.440 --> 0:04:27.200 who you are, your style works because that's who you 0:04:27.240 --> 0:04:28.800 really are. Good batter and different. 0:04:29.360 --> 0:04:31.040 The thing I would be most excited about if you're 0:04:31.040 --> 0:04:33.359 an Eagles fan. Number one, you've got this core group 0:04:33.680 --> 0:04:35.560 locked in, so you've got your core group of guys. 0:04:35.600 --> 0:04:37.000 You got a good group of young players. You haven't 0:04:37.000 --> 0:04:39.840 had to pay yet, so you've able to balance kind 0:04:39.880 --> 0:04:42.320 of the high priced veterans with some young, cheaper players. 0:04:42.839 --> 0:04:45.360 But do you think about it, boock, you got your coach, 0:04:45.400 --> 0:04:48.039 so you've got some continuity there. You've got arguably the 0:04:48.040 --> 0:04:51.440 best personnel department in football in terms of roster building. 0:04:51.680 --> 0:04:54.760 And then, to me, like the little sleeper, the thing 0:04:54.760 --> 0:04:58.720 about the Philadelpha Eagles team is similar to the Chiefs, 0:04:58.760 --> 0:05:01.720 and having Spagnolo, who's a great coach, who hasn't been 0:05:01.920 --> 0:05:04.640 in probably you know, doesn't look like it's getting opportunities. 0:05:04.760 --> 0:05:06.800 Big Fangio ain't leaving anywhere to be a head coach 0:05:06.839 --> 0:05:09.480 anytime soon either, so you're gonna have continuity for this 0:05:09.520 --> 0:05:10.360 group going forward. 0:05:10.800 --> 0:05:13.039 Yeah, you're gonna have connuity. And I'm gonna say DJ, 0:05:13.080 --> 0:05:14.880 You're gonna have continuity on both sides of the ball. 0:05:14.960 --> 0:05:18.520 Because even though Nick sire Yanni doesn't call plays, Nick 0:05:18.520 --> 0:05:21.280 siir Yani was the one that in a way unlocked 0:05:21.520 --> 0:05:23.720 Jalen Hurts in terms of the things that they did. 0:05:24.000 --> 0:05:27.240 So he's always able to keep the offense in a 0:05:27.240 --> 0:05:31.440 certain lane while giving the offense coordinator freedom. In big Fangio, 0:05:31.600 --> 0:05:34.680 the continuity, this sibility that defense is always going to 0:05:34.680 --> 0:05:36.200 be good as long as he's gonna be around. It's 0:05:36.200 --> 0:05:39.080 gonna be a system that everyone can grow in. And 0:05:39.160 --> 0:05:41.400 because they can grow in, it makes it very easy 0:05:41.400 --> 0:05:44.599 for the personnel department to stock people in it because 0:05:44.640 --> 0:05:46.320 the system doesn't change year to year. 0:05:47.000 --> 0:05:49.040 I know it's something that we'll get to as we 0:05:49.080 --> 0:05:51.599 get closer to the season in terms of the preview things, 0:05:52.120 --> 0:05:54.560 as we start looking at these teams, looking at these 0:05:54.600 --> 0:05:57.640 division these conferences and trying to figure out who's going 0:05:57.720 --> 0:06:00.279 to be good. But at this point in time, just 0:06:00.279 --> 0:06:03.080 with this Eagles team, when you look at Washington, where 0:06:03.080 --> 0:06:05.000 they are, you know, I think Washington obviously with the 0:06:05.080 --> 0:06:07.640 quarterback and a lot of the things they've done and 0:06:07.680 --> 0:06:11.640 being right there with them last year. You look at Washington, 0:06:11.680 --> 0:06:13.320 you look at Giants, who are going to be better. 0:06:13.480 --> 0:06:15.440 I think you know with what they've done the off season, 0:06:15.480 --> 0:06:18.960 they're going to be better. And then you look at 0:06:19.040 --> 0:06:23.080 the Cowboys who have a talented team, like are they 0:06:23.080 --> 0:06:25.720 any threat? Are these teams legit threats or is this 0:06:25.760 --> 0:06:27.680 a clear Philly is still the clear favorite? 0:06:28.240 --> 0:06:31.040 I think phi Philly is still the clear favorite. However, 0:06:31.560 --> 0:06:33.760 I mean, the Super Bowl hangover is real, and we've 0:06:33.760 --> 0:06:36.120 seen how challenging it can be when you go to 0:06:36.160 --> 0:06:38.960 the mountain top to stay on top of the mountain, 0:06:39.080 --> 0:06:40.880 like you got to scale it. The schedule is harder. 0:06:41.320 --> 0:06:44.400 Everyone is now using you, using your team as the 0:06:44.440 --> 0:06:47.560 measuring stick game, so you're getting everybody's best punch for 0:06:47.640 --> 0:06:50.600 seventeen games. That's that can be tough to fend off. 0:06:51.880 --> 0:06:54.359 But they're going to be there, and you understand, like 0:06:55.440 --> 0:06:58.599 if injuries aren't a factor once they get into the tournament, 0:06:58.640 --> 0:07:00.599 because they know how to win it, look, they're going 0:07:00.680 --> 0:07:02.680 to be a very very difficult out. A lot of 0:07:02.680 --> 0:07:05.039 it really just depandazonic. Can they stay locked in and 0:07:05.080 --> 0:07:07.159 focus enough to do all the things that they did 0:07:07.240 --> 0:07:10.800 last year, the necessary steps to be the same team 0:07:10.840 --> 0:07:12.320 they need to be when to get into the tournament. 0:07:12.680 --> 0:07:14.080 I thought it was interesting if you look at the 0:07:14.120 --> 0:07:17.720 teams that are outside that division who have to get 0:07:17.800 --> 0:07:19.840 through the Eagles. I think it's kind of the ultimate 0:07:19.880 --> 0:07:23.560 compliment when you see teams trying to build their team, 0:07:23.720 --> 0:07:25.960 not even in your division, but you can see a 0:07:26.040 --> 0:07:28.240 folk like to me, the Rams and the Niners, they 0:07:28.640 --> 0:07:31.080 made this concerted effort that we're going to be a 0:07:31.120 --> 0:07:33.200 physical line of scrimmage team and we're going to stop 0:07:33.240 --> 0:07:35.600 the run. Like that, to me is interesting how those 0:07:35.640 --> 0:07:38.160 teams outside the division, knowing who they got to get through, 0:07:38.400 --> 0:07:41.000 that tells you where Philly is right now in the packing. 0:07:41.240 --> 0:07:43.920 Well, it does, and it it speaks to the bigger 0:07:43.960 --> 0:07:46.360 point on team building we've always talked about the first 0:07:46.400 --> 0:07:47.760 thing that you do have to do is you got 0:07:47.760 --> 0:07:49.800 to be able to build your team to win the division. 0:07:50.280 --> 0:07:52.400 But you also have to take a look around the 0:07:52.480 --> 0:07:54.720 landscape and say, well, who are the teams that are 0:07:54.720 --> 0:07:57.360 going to be the formidable foes for the next four 0:07:57.440 --> 0:08:00.360 or five years. Do we have enough to deal with them? Well, 0:08:00.360 --> 0:08:02.360 if you're in the NFC. You're looking at field, you're 0:08:02.360 --> 0:08:05.520 looking at how young the team is. It's easy to 0:08:05.600 --> 0:08:07.640 envision them being a team that is always kind of 0:08:07.640 --> 0:08:11.440 going to be the gatekeeper when it comes to title contention. Well, 0:08:12.480 --> 0:08:14.600 if I got to deal with them, I know, from 0:08:14.600 --> 0:08:16.480 an offensive perspective, I better be able to deal with 0:08:16.560 --> 0:08:18.880 Jaylen Carter. I got to have someone to deal with 0:08:18.920 --> 0:08:22.000 the young corners that they have on the outside, the 0:08:22.040 --> 0:08:24.760 waves of pass versus that they also have. I mean, 0:08:24.960 --> 0:08:26.320 there's a lot to deal with. So I got to 0:08:26.320 --> 0:08:28.320 make sure that I build my team the right way. 0:08:28.640 --> 0:08:31.040 Otherwise we can get into the playoffs and we're not 0:08:31.080 --> 0:08:32.560 gonna have enough gas to deal with them. 0:08:32.880 --> 0:08:35.680 Yeah, it's going to be interesting to see, you know, 0:08:35.679 --> 0:08:38.000 how does How does does Philadelphia double down on what 0:08:38.040 --> 0:08:41.360 they've done or do they try and branch out into 0:08:41.400 --> 0:08:44.040 other areas to combat how teams are trying to stop them. 0:08:44.080 --> 0:08:45.880 And it looks like we're going to get the vote 0:08:45.880 --> 0:08:48.959 here on the Toush push here again coming up soon, 0:08:49.120 --> 0:08:51.840 so we'll see how that alters at least their fourth 0:08:51.880 --> 0:08:54.280 down game planning. But it is fascinating to see the 0:08:54.280 --> 0:08:55.679 team that at the very top. Do you see a 0:08:55.760 --> 0:08:59.760 way else trying to build and collect pieces to be 0:08:59.760 --> 0:09:02.600 able to combat that team at the very top. All right. 0:09:02.640 --> 0:09:04.760 That was this week's Hot or Not segment, brought to 0:09:04.800 --> 0:09:06.720 you by with Sabi Hot Cloud Storage. Store more and 0:09:06.720 --> 0:09:08.839 do more with your data. Try them for free at 0:09:08.840 --> 0:09:14.000 wassabi dot com. Buck big, big, big contract came down, 0:09:14.120 --> 0:09:16.440 not just on the coaching side, on the player side. 0:09:16.440 --> 0:09:19.640 By the way, I did those little little ads with 0:09:19.800 --> 0:09:23.960 Rock Purdy for Toyota that we did draft Nice and 0:09:24.000 --> 0:09:25.520 I got We talked a bit about a little bit. 0:09:25.520 --> 0:09:27.600 I mean, he's he is a good dude. Like it's 0:09:27.640 --> 0:09:29.839 easy to see. And when people are like, is he 0:09:29.880 --> 0:09:31.360 going to get paid? You know what's that going to 0:09:31.440 --> 0:09:34.360 look like? And I think I had told you this. 0:09:34.400 --> 0:09:37.040 I'm like, dude, you can see what. Kyle Chanahan loves 0:09:37.080 --> 0:09:39.560 this guy like he can literally play the game through 0:09:39.640 --> 0:09:42.760 him because he can comprehend everything that's coming into his 0:09:42.800 --> 0:09:44.920 head and he can execute it. So that's why you 0:09:45.000 --> 0:09:47.920 end up getting five for two sixty five, one hundred 0:09:47.920 --> 0:09:50.199 and eighty one million in total guarantees, one hundred and 0:09:50.240 --> 0:09:52.840 sixty five the first three years. So there was no 0:09:52.920 --> 0:09:55.640 discount here as people were saying, maybe he'll get the 0:09:56.160 --> 0:09:58.679 middle tier contract. This is not a middle tier. 0:09:58.520 --> 0:10:01.360 Contract mana moutierr cont And the thing that everyone has 0:10:01.360 --> 0:10:05.040 pay attention to is no trade clause. No trade clause 0:10:05.080 --> 0:10:07.360 for the entirety of the contract. So brock Peridy is 0:10:07.360 --> 0:10:11.280 the Niners quarterback. It one of tells me a couple 0:10:11.280 --> 0:10:13.160 of different things when it comes to the team. And 0:10:13.320 --> 0:10:15.000 then I'm to ask you a question about scout and 0:10:15.040 --> 0:10:18.680 what did we learn from the brock Purty deal. For 0:10:18.720 --> 0:10:22.199 so long we always talk about quarterbacks, and we always 0:10:22.200 --> 0:10:24.640 talk about the physical tools and the arm talent, the 0:10:24.679 --> 0:10:27.240 athleticism and those things, and you got to have those. 0:10:27.679 --> 0:10:31.080 I think brock Purdy is the example of the intangible qualities. 0:10:31.400 --> 0:10:34.800 When you talk to people around the team and you 0:10:34.840 --> 0:10:37.640 talk to like you listen to his teammates talk about him. 0:10:38.000 --> 0:10:41.080 It is how he fits in. Trent Williams Early was 0:10:41.160 --> 0:10:43.320 all on the brock Purty thing, and you talk about 0:10:43.400 --> 0:10:46.800 Kittle and Nick Bosa, all those guys have rallied behind 0:10:46.880 --> 0:10:51.760 him very early. There is a magical quality that he exudes. 0:10:52.280 --> 0:10:54.640 Maybe it's because he was mister Irrelevant and he came 0:10:54.679 --> 0:10:57.280 in and quietly just did his work, and he had 0:10:57.280 --> 0:11:00.000 to let his performance speak before he really could speak, 0:11:00.440 --> 0:11:04.080 and he earned the respect of his teammates, which makes 0:11:04.120 --> 0:11:07.439 it easy for the guys to go to work for you. 0:11:07.520 --> 0:11:11.040 And now I'm gonna say this, eighty five percent of 0:11:11.080 --> 0:11:14.880 the league's players are system players. And the trick is 0:11:14.920 --> 0:11:16.760 to make sure that you put players in the right 0:11:16.800 --> 0:11:20.720 system to match their skills. Rock Purdy is in the 0:11:20.760 --> 0:11:24.880 perfect system to match his skills. The way that Kyle 0:11:24.960 --> 0:11:29.720 Shanahan operates the inbreaking routes, the timing, and the execution 0:11:29.840 --> 0:11:32.120 some of those things coming off play a play action, 0:11:33.120 --> 0:11:35.960 rock Purdy has a fearlessness when it comes to letting 0:11:36.000 --> 0:11:39.960 the ball go on time. And because he can do that, 0:11:40.000 --> 0:11:42.720 and because they've surrounded him with catch and run specialists 0:11:42.720 --> 0:11:47.160 in those things. Man, this offense is magical when a 0:11:47.400 --> 0:11:49.880 everyone is healthy and he is able to deal from 0:11:49.920 --> 0:11:54.120 the pocket, I understand why the Niners might value him 0:11:54.120 --> 0:11:56.920 more than people on the outside could value rock Purty. 0:11:57.480 --> 0:12:00.240 All right, So I want to take people inside when 0:12:00.280 --> 0:12:03.120 you're doing a scouting report, and we've talked about the 0:12:03.120 --> 0:12:07.200 different scales, the different grading scills. Well for position specific grades, 0:12:08.080 --> 0:12:10.760 we've used the places I've been. We did three through seven, 0:12:11.280 --> 0:12:14.280 so it was five is average, six above average, seven 0:12:14.320 --> 0:12:17.400 elite you know four below average, three is poor. So 0:12:17.440 --> 0:12:19.280 if we're just gonna use that three to seven scale, 0:12:19.760 --> 0:12:21.320 I want to kind of go through this process with 0:12:21.360 --> 0:12:24.840 you because I want to let's take like elite arm strength, 0:12:24.920 --> 0:12:27.440 elite size, elite athletic ability. We're gonna put those things 0:12:27.480 --> 0:12:29.160 to the side. I'm just gonna give you some key 0:12:29.200 --> 0:12:31.559 quarterback traits. So I'm gonna let you do the grade 0:12:31.600 --> 0:12:36.040 three to seven. You're ready, Yeah. Competitiveness, Oh, he's a 0:12:36.080 --> 0:12:40.880 seven all day. Toughness, Oh, he shows seven qualities. He 0:12:41.160 --> 0:12:45.160 always takes the ball poise. Look, DJ, I've rarely seen 0:12:45.200 --> 0:12:46.840 him rout. I would give him a six or seven 0:12:46.880 --> 0:12:50.200 on that. I'd never see him flustered when he gets fulled. 0:12:50.200 --> 0:12:53.439 He always just bounce back, goes to the next what intelligence? 0:12:53.960 --> 0:12:56.480 Oh seven, So I'm like, you start to see like 0:12:56.600 --> 0:12:58.720 kind of the nucleus of what a of what a 0:12:58.760 --> 0:13:00.960 good quarterback is, and then we can go on to accuracy, 0:13:01.800 --> 0:13:03.800 decision making, you know, like. 0:13:04.640 --> 0:13:06.559 And he has a lot of like when you step 0:13:06.600 --> 0:13:08.040 back at it and you just go, okay, let's strip 0:13:08.040 --> 0:13:11.040 away the fact this guy's not six five athlete wise, 0:13:11.040 --> 0:13:13.040 he's above average athlete. I would say, oh, he can 0:13:13.080 --> 0:13:17.040 move around, he's a five plus, you know, six level athlete. 0:13:17.160 --> 0:13:20.200 But buck are a lot of the key components of 0:13:20.200 --> 0:13:21.679 that position where he is a. 0:13:21.720 --> 0:13:26.400 Seven and so here is where scouting is tricky, I 0:13:26.400 --> 0:13:28.960 would say for us and even for other guys. So 0:13:29.600 --> 0:13:31.800 Red Lewis and I had an opportunity to watch him 0:13:32.000 --> 0:13:34.720 the entire week at the East West Fron. I mean, 0:13:34.760 --> 0:13:36.760 he was fine, he was okay. Him and Ad and 0:13:36.800 --> 0:13:40.600 O'Connell day were going around. We talked to Purty like 0:13:40.679 --> 0:13:42.760 I can't say that, like he popped, and like, oh, 0:13:42.800 --> 0:13:45.000 he's going to be this guy. But I think the 0:13:45.480 --> 0:13:50.120 lesson is there is development that can be had for everybody, 0:13:50.440 --> 0:13:55.280 particularly quarterbacks. When Brock Purty was drafted as mister irrelevant 0:13:55.360 --> 0:13:58.800 last in the draft class, he went to work and 0:13:58.880 --> 0:14:02.840 in going to work, he got better DJ The guy 0:14:02.840 --> 0:14:04.320 that we see today is not the guy that we 0:14:04.360 --> 0:14:07.480 saw at Iowa State. But let's talk about what Iowa 0:14:07.559 --> 0:14:12.280 State did for him. Rock Purdy or year player. I 0:14:12.280 --> 0:14:15.840 think when he ended the league he had forty nine starts. 0:14:16.160 --> 0:14:19.240 When he left Iowa State, he had darned near all 0:14:19.320 --> 0:14:22.600 the records. When it came to passing and those things, 0:14:22.840 --> 0:14:26.960 and what we have seen in this league, experienced players 0:14:27.000 --> 0:14:30.960 experience quarterbacks in particular, they're set up to have success 0:14:30.960 --> 0:14:33.520 more so than the guys that are two and done, 0:14:33.880 --> 0:14:36.600 three and done, two year starter than im out. Rock 0:14:36.680 --> 0:14:40.680 Purty's experience because he played so many games, has so 0:14:40.720 --> 0:14:43.600 many reps to me. I think it translated very very 0:14:43.640 --> 0:14:47.000 well for Kyle Shanahan because as you talked about Kyle 0:14:47.080 --> 0:14:50.160 Shanahan playing the game through him, because he'd been in 0:14:50.200 --> 0:14:53.520 so many situations and scenarios, I just felt like they 0:14:53.520 --> 0:14:56.320 connect on a high level when it comes to here's 0:14:56.360 --> 0:14:58.760 what I want, here's a situation, Here's how you handle 0:14:58.760 --> 0:15:03.040 the situation. Execute. Rock Prudy's time on task as a 0:15:03.040 --> 0:15:06.480 collegiate helped him become a very productive player as a 0:15:06.520 --> 0:15:09.840 pro because he has so much experience coming into the process. 0:15:10.200 --> 0:15:13.400 I was thinking about this, if you take guys that 0:15:13.520 --> 0:15:18.920 have intelligence, work ethic, and toughness, right like you'd kind 0:15:18.920 --> 0:15:21.800 of have the mental physical toughness. They're intelligent and they're 0:15:21.840 --> 0:15:25.560 great workers. We've seen now a lot of examples of 0:15:25.640 --> 0:15:28.600 guys who've changed things as throwers. I'll go back to 0:15:28.680 --> 0:15:31.600 when we were doing Aaron Rodgers coming out high Caridge 0:15:31.680 --> 0:15:34.600 right up, balls up by your ear. Yeah, he lowered 0:15:34.640 --> 0:15:36.960 the ball, he loosened up, he got a little more loose, 0:15:37.000 --> 0:15:39.960 a little more fluid. Changed. You look at Josh Allen, 0:15:40.080 --> 0:15:41.720 and Josh Allen did a lot of that work with 0:15:41.800 --> 0:15:44.720 Jordan Palmer full work wise, he cleaned up a lot 0:15:44.720 --> 0:15:46.560 of the issues that he had. He went from someone 0:15:46.560 --> 0:15:47.840 who was not super. 0:15:47.600 --> 0:15:50.360 Accurate at the collegiate level to someone who's gotten you know, 0:15:50.560 --> 0:15:52.640 to an elite, elite level of accuracy. 0:15:52.680 --> 0:15:56.480 To be honest, Patrick Mahomes, who was screens and crambles, scrambles, 0:15:56.520 --> 0:15:58.960 drifting all over the place. But you know, look at 0:15:58.960 --> 0:16:01.200 how he cleaned up his in the middles rock Perty. 0:16:01.240 --> 0:16:03.400 When I talked to him about his arm strength when 0:16:03.400 --> 0:16:05.880 we were doing this thing with Toyota, and I'm like, man, 0:16:05.920 --> 0:16:07.800 like I just when I went and watched you, like, 0:16:07.800 --> 0:16:09.480 I didn't think you had a big arm, and you 0:16:09.520 --> 0:16:11.600 know some of my concerns he said, Yeah. 0:16:11.680 --> 0:16:14.440 After the after the season ended, I you know, got 0:16:14.440 --> 0:16:17.600 with quarterback coach and I realized I was too bulked up. 0:16:17.840 --> 0:16:20.040 I was I was gotten a little stiff because I 0:16:20.040 --> 0:16:23.200 had gotten so strong. So he dropped a bunch of weight, 0:16:23.440 --> 0:16:26.240 changed his body type, loosened up, got more life on 0:16:26.280 --> 0:16:29.520 the ball by doing that. So what I'm getting at 0:16:29.520 --> 0:16:32.000 Buck is if you can find the guy who is smart, 0:16:32.240 --> 0:16:35.880 who is competitive, and who is tough, they're going to 0:16:35.960 --> 0:16:37.520 take in like, hey, you need to be better in 0:16:37.520 --> 0:16:39.920 this area. Okay, I can. I can make that adjustment. 0:16:39.920 --> 0:16:42.640 I can change my body, I can change my mechanics. 0:16:42.680 --> 0:16:46.160 Like it's so to me. It's almost like, man, the wiring. 0:16:46.240 --> 0:16:49.200 He's got the wiring. We'll figure the rest of it out. 0:16:49.520 --> 0:16:52.680 DJ. I think I think we've said this. You know, 0:16:52.720 --> 0:16:56.280 we always talk about floors and ceilings. I think the 0:16:56.320 --> 0:16:59.240 best thing for a coach is to know exactly who 0:16:59.280 --> 0:17:02.520 I'm getting every day. What's the floor? Like with Brock Puridy, 0:17:02.560 --> 0:17:04.919 there's a level of consistency that you knew, Okay, Like, 0:17:05.840 --> 0:17:08.600 here's where he is at a minimum. If I know 0:17:08.920 --> 0:17:11.840 that's what he's always going to be every day, this 0:17:11.880 --> 0:17:14.439 is where the coaching comes in. Hey, every day he 0:17:14.440 --> 0:17:16.480 shows up, Brock purity is going to be at this level. Cool. 0:17:16.520 --> 0:17:18.359 My job is to take him at that level. How 0:17:18.400 --> 0:17:20.359 can we build a team, how can we win with him? 0:17:20.600 --> 0:17:24.960 But because he's tough, he's smart, he's competitive. I can 0:17:25.000 --> 0:17:28.040 take that floor, I can take those traits, and I 0:17:28.040 --> 0:17:31.640 can build a winning plan around that. I think it's 0:17:31.680 --> 0:17:34.560 one of those things where we're so quick to want 0:17:34.600 --> 0:17:36.520 the kind of microwave quarterbacks and do it. And I 0:17:36.520 --> 0:17:39.600 would say, brock Purdy jumped in early second. He jumped 0:17:39.600 --> 0:17:42.040 in and he was able to do it. But I 0:17:42.080 --> 0:17:46.000 do think that speaks to the development that's necessary, the 0:17:46.040 --> 0:17:49.359 patience and the discipline that the San Francisco forty nine 0:17:49.440 --> 0:17:53.520 ers exhibited while dealing with him. That yeah, it's a 0:17:53.520 --> 0:17:57.679 long process, and I give them credit because the noise 0:17:57.680 --> 0:18:00.359 could have gotten loud because they missed on trade lance. 0:18:00.760 --> 0:18:02.440 But then here comes to the late round pick. Who 0:18:02.440 --> 0:18:05.960 made him right. They ignored the annoys when everyone's saying like, oh, 0:18:05.960 --> 0:18:07.720 you need to go get hit this person and you 0:18:07.960 --> 0:18:12.760 can upgrade this position. And no, he's our quarterback. We 0:18:12.800 --> 0:18:15.920 feel good about what he offers. He's right for us. 0:18:16.000 --> 0:18:19.920 And really the conviction that they showed, that's what we 0:18:20.000 --> 0:18:21.880 all wanted to show when we're scouts. 0:18:22.280 --> 0:18:25.360 I was thinking of this too, like tell me if 0:18:25.359 --> 0:18:28.600 I'm I didn't want your opinion on this, because if 0:18:28.640 --> 0:18:33.840 I tell you, you can have an elite person at just quarterbacks, 0:18:33.920 --> 0:18:39.120 just quarterbacks. So let's go elite makeup, elite person, good 0:18:39.160 --> 0:18:46.760 player or elite talent good person. I think there's a 0:18:46.800 --> 0:18:49.760 lot more players at that position in the NFL who 0:18:49.800 --> 0:18:53.399 are the elite makeup guys with just enough skill, whereas 0:18:53.440 --> 0:18:55.520 I feel like there's been a lot of really talented 0:18:55.560 --> 0:18:58.440 guys who didn't have the makeup that have fallen short. 0:18:58.880 --> 0:19:02.119 That takes sense. I think it always. I think betting 0:19:02.200 --> 0:19:05.080 on the person is what matters. I think betting on 0:19:05.119 --> 0:19:08.240 the person because we've talked about this, I think Steve 0:19:08.320 --> 0:19:10.840 Young use the example that we always go back, not 0:19:10.920 --> 0:19:13.920 over my dead body, if you go get the right person. 0:19:14.600 --> 0:19:16.480 DJ The one thing that I can live with I 0:19:16.520 --> 0:19:19.840 can feel if I feel like the person that I trusted, 0:19:19.840 --> 0:19:22.440 that I gave the ball has done everything in his 0:19:22.640 --> 0:19:25.440 power to give us a chance to win. If he's 0:19:25.480 --> 0:19:28.360 done everything and we're just not good enough, I can 0:19:28.400 --> 0:19:30.760 be okay with it. But what bothers you is when 0:19:30.760 --> 0:19:33.119 someone you know is talented enough to get it done, 0:19:34.040 --> 0:19:36.359 but they lift so they leave stuff on the table 0:19:36.400 --> 0:19:39.480 because they didn't work hard enough to get it done. 0:19:39.720 --> 0:19:41.720
