1 00:00:00,840 --> 00:00:06,200 Speaker 1: And now move the sticks with Daniel Jeremiah and Bucky Brooks. 2 00:00:08,520 --> 00:00:11,640 Speaker 1: What's up, everybody? Welcome to move the sticks, DJ and 3 00:00:11,720 --> 00:00:14,360 Speaker 1: Bucky back with you and Buck Man. We are getting 4 00:00:14,360 --> 00:00:17,400 Speaker 1: closer to Cleveland. The draft is right around the corner, 5 00:00:17,480 --> 00:00:21,239 Speaker 1: and we have got a jam Pack show today. Yeah, 6 00:00:21,239 --> 00:00:23,200 Speaker 1: we do have a gamp X show. We have a 7 00:00:23,239 --> 00:00:25,960 Speaker 1: one on one conversation with Naja Harris, top running back 8 00:00:26,000 --> 00:00:28,880 Speaker 1: from Alabama. Speaking of Alabama, we're going to talk about 9 00:00:28,920 --> 00:00:32,280 Speaker 1: the Alabama receivers versus the Ellis you receivers, which group 10 00:00:32,320 --> 00:00:34,519 Speaker 1: you would you'd rather have? And finally we get you 11 00:00:34,600 --> 00:00:37,560 Speaker 1: have to fix America's team. We're gonna take the Dallas 12 00:00:37,600 --> 00:00:40,360 Speaker 1: Cowboys into the body shop and get them rocked and 13 00:00:40,400 --> 00:00:43,120 Speaker 1: ready to go. Before we get to all that, Buck, 14 00:00:43,159 --> 00:00:45,480 Speaker 1: I feel like we're averaging one big trade a week. 15 00:00:45,960 --> 00:00:49,120 Speaker 1: This week it was the news that Sam Donald moving 16 00:00:49,120 --> 00:00:51,440 Speaker 1: on the Jets, trading him to the Carolina Panthers for 17 00:00:51,479 --> 00:00:53,960 Speaker 1: a sixth round pick this year, A two and a 18 00:00:54,080 --> 00:00:58,000 Speaker 1: four in two, I think we know we have a 19 00:00:58,000 --> 00:00:59,760 Speaker 1: good idea at least of where the Jets are going 20 00:00:59,760 --> 00:01:03,040 Speaker 1: with that second overall pick. It looks like Zack Wilson 21 00:01:03,040 --> 00:01:04,960 Speaker 1: from b y U, the quarterback will be the pick there. 22 00:01:05,240 --> 00:01:07,920 Speaker 1: But for the Carolina Panthers, now that they have Sam Donald, 23 00:01:08,319 --> 00:01:10,880 Speaker 1: it frees them up to go in any direction they please. 24 00:01:10,959 --> 00:01:13,080 Speaker 1: What do you see them doing here with the eighth 25 00:01:13,120 --> 00:01:16,920 Speaker 1: overall pick? Uh dj I think now, if you're going 26 00:01:16,959 --> 00:01:19,160 Speaker 1: to commit the Sam Donald, it looks like right now, 27 00:01:19,200 --> 00:01:20,760 Speaker 1: if you pick up the fifth year option, you're talking 28 00:01:20,760 --> 00:01:23,640 Speaker 1: about two years, twenty two million dollars. That's a solid 29 00:01:23,760 --> 00:01:26,520 Speaker 1: number for a young, intriguing starting quarterback. How about we 30 00:01:26,520 --> 00:01:28,600 Speaker 1: fixed the offensive line. How about we get a guy 31 00:01:28,680 --> 00:01:31,800 Speaker 1: like maybe Pine Seoul, someone who is there that can 32 00:01:32,000 --> 00:01:34,000 Speaker 1: really upgrade it and get it done. And when you 33 00:01:34,000 --> 00:01:36,399 Speaker 1: look at pas Seul, it really he's a unique combination 34 00:01:36,440 --> 00:01:39,759 Speaker 1: of a Mahler brawler with athletic feet. Then you saw 35 00:01:39,800 --> 00:01:41,680 Speaker 1: him fire off the ball. The movement skills here, we 36 00:01:41,760 --> 00:01:44,680 Speaker 1: see the first step, quickness and burst and what shows 37 00:01:44,760 --> 00:01:48,200 Speaker 1: up repeatedly on tape his movement skills here working a 38 00:01:48,240 --> 00:01:51,640 Speaker 1: combo to get to the linebacker moving off the ball. 39 00:01:51,720 --> 00:01:55,120 Speaker 1: You just don't see big athletic lineman that can do 40 00:01:55,240 --> 00:01:57,720 Speaker 1: things that he can do on the move here pulling 41 00:01:57,720 --> 00:02:00,360 Speaker 1: it get into the next level, watching the lineback out 42 00:02:00,360 --> 00:02:02,520 Speaker 1: of the hole. He does it over and over again 43 00:02:02,520 --> 00:02:04,400 Speaker 1: in DJ We've talked about it. This might be the 44 00:02:04,440 --> 00:02:06,760 Speaker 1: best stuff that he does in this screen game. Get 45 00:02:06,760 --> 00:02:09,640 Speaker 1: into the second and third level. Just his ability to 46 00:02:09,800 --> 00:02:12,480 Speaker 1: move is unique for a big player. You just don't 47 00:02:12,480 --> 00:02:14,960 Speaker 1: see guys that can move around like that. So if 48 00:02:15,000 --> 00:02:18,480 Speaker 1: you are the Carolina Panthers and you're looking to protect 49 00:02:18,639 --> 00:02:21,440 Speaker 1: Sam Donald and to bring him back, you get a 50 00:02:21,480 --> 00:02:24,080 Speaker 1: big time Playmak on the edge like this. It gives 51 00:02:24,120 --> 00:02:26,799 Speaker 1: you a chance. Yeah, here's his scouting report. I was 52 00:02:26,840 --> 00:02:28,679 Speaker 1: at that sc game where he made that tackle after 53 00:02:28,680 --> 00:02:31,760 Speaker 1: an interception. But can really bend uh, somebody that can 54 00:02:31,880 --> 00:02:34,560 Speaker 1: uproot defenders over his nose. Very explosive. There are times 55 00:02:34,560 --> 00:02:37,160 Speaker 1: where balanced is a little bit of a concern. There's 56 00:02:37,200 --> 00:02:40,000 Speaker 1: something he can continue to work on as he goes 57 00:02:40,080 --> 00:02:41,920 Speaker 1: towards the next level. I do think he hears his 58 00:02:42,000 --> 00:02:44,440 Speaker 1: name called most likely in the top ten and would 59 00:02:44,440 --> 00:02:47,400 Speaker 1: be a great fit there with the Carolina Panthers. Well. 60 00:02:47,480 --> 00:02:49,880 Speaker 1: Speaking of players who are gonna hear their name called 61 00:02:49,919 --> 00:02:52,560 Speaker 1: in the top ten, I think we all agree. Justin Fields, 62 00:02:52,639 --> 00:02:54,919 Speaker 1: quarterback from Ohio State, is one of those who could 63 00:02:55,000 --> 00:02:57,520 Speaker 1: go as high as number three. Potentially to the San 64 00:02:57,560 --> 00:03:00,639 Speaker 1: Francisco forty Niners, who are gonna be on hand when 65 00:03:00,680 --> 00:03:03,000 Speaker 1: Fields has his second pro day that's gonna take place 66 00:03:03,040 --> 00:03:06,680 Speaker 1: April four. UM. It almost looks like a showcase type 67 00:03:06,680 --> 00:03:08,840 Speaker 1: workout there for the forty Niners, so be interesting to 68 00:03:08,880 --> 00:03:12,760 Speaker 1: see what goes down there. We had a time recently 69 00:03:12,800 --> 00:03:15,360 Speaker 1: to catch up with Ryan Day, the head coach at 70 00:03:15,400 --> 00:03:18,360 Speaker 1: Ohio State, to ask him about Justin Fields, and I 71 00:03:18,360 --> 00:03:20,520 Speaker 1: thought his insight was outstanding and I want to roll 72 00:03:20,560 --> 00:03:22,400 Speaker 1: a couple of clips here, buck, Let's start with this 73 00:03:22,480 --> 00:03:25,440 Speaker 1: first one. We asked him about not only that big 74 00:03:25,480 --> 00:03:29,239 Speaker 1: Clemson game, but also Justin's performance against Alabama in the 75 00:03:29,320 --> 00:03:33,320 Speaker 1: National Championship Game and the way he responded in that 76 00:03:33,360 --> 00:03:36,760 Speaker 1: game in the biggest moment was you know, six touchdowns 77 00:03:37,080 --> 00:03:39,680 Speaker 1: and he wasn't gonna be denied. I mean, I can't 78 00:03:39,680 --> 00:03:41,360 Speaker 1: tell you as many quarterbacks that I've been around that 79 00:03:41,360 --> 00:03:43,160 Speaker 1: would take a shot like that and come back in 80 00:03:43,840 --> 00:03:45,680 Speaker 1: uh in a play and throw a touchdown pass and 81 00:03:45,680 --> 00:03:47,720 Speaker 1: go on to play the way he did, and then 82 00:03:47,760 --> 00:03:50,800 Speaker 1: go on and play in the National Championship Game banged 83 00:03:50,880 --> 00:03:53,880 Speaker 1: up without really practicing much. So this is a tough, 84 00:03:53,960 --> 00:03:57,360 Speaker 1: tough guy. Who has been very dependable for US coach. 85 00:03:57,400 --> 00:03:59,400 Speaker 1: You've you've been an expert at this position for a 86 00:03:59,400 --> 00:04:02,120 Speaker 1: long time. You've coached at the NFL level with that position. 87 00:04:02,400 --> 00:04:04,160 Speaker 1: To me, when I went back and watched the tape 88 00:04:04,200 --> 00:04:07,800 Speaker 1: of the National Championship game, even though the win wasn't there, 89 00:04:08,360 --> 00:04:10,640 Speaker 1: I came away thinking that was almost as impressive as 90 00:04:10,640 --> 00:04:12,160 Speaker 1: what we saw in the Clemson game. What was your 91 00:04:12,160 --> 00:04:14,600 Speaker 1: evaluation of how he played? And given the fact that 92 00:04:14,600 --> 00:04:16,160 Speaker 1: you just mentioned he was beat up in that game 93 00:04:16,160 --> 00:04:18,919 Speaker 1: against Bama, he played better than I thought he would. 94 00:04:19,160 --> 00:04:21,160 Speaker 1: He really didn't practice much at all. I'm sure he 95 00:04:21,200 --> 00:04:22,320 Speaker 1: was gonna be able to play in the game, to 96 00:04:22,320 --> 00:04:25,480 Speaker 1: be very honest, and we had one padded practice that 97 00:04:25,600 --> 00:04:27,760 Speaker 1: really didn't He wasn't a part of going into that game. 98 00:04:28,160 --> 00:04:30,560 Speaker 1: So the timing and everything about that going into that 99 00:04:30,600 --> 00:04:34,039 Speaker 1: game was not something we felt comfortable with. And uh, 100 00:04:34,240 --> 00:04:36,080 Speaker 1: and I would go back it, like you said, watching 101 00:04:36,080 --> 00:04:39,160 Speaker 1: the film, with all those things against them, he did 102 00:04:39,200 --> 00:04:41,160 Speaker 1: have really good snaps. He played well in that game. 103 00:04:41,200 --> 00:04:43,440 Speaker 1: He didn't take chances, had a couple of big runs. 104 00:04:43,520 --> 00:04:46,440 Speaker 1: They playing nice, really nice throws, and uh, you know, 105 00:04:46,480 --> 00:04:48,640 Speaker 1: in a different time, in a different setting, who knows 106 00:04:48,880 --> 00:04:50,800 Speaker 1: what that would have looked like. But I thought he 107 00:04:50,839 --> 00:04:52,760 Speaker 1: competed and he always has done that. I've never seen 108 00:04:52,839 --> 00:04:55,839 Speaker 1: him not And um no again, when you just watched 109 00:04:55,839 --> 00:04:58,279 Speaker 1: the film against a good defense and a really good team, 110 00:04:58,320 --> 00:05:02,640 Speaker 1: obviously he played well. Yeah, Buck, I agree with coach Day. 111 00:05:02,680 --> 00:05:04,120 Speaker 1: There your thoughts. We saw on the bottom of the 112 00:05:04,160 --> 00:05:06,600 Speaker 1: screen there six carriers for sixty seven yards when he 113 00:05:06,640 --> 00:05:08,360 Speaker 1: was beat up in that game, to go along with 114 00:05:08,360 --> 00:05:13,080 Speaker 1: some big time throws. Yeah, I think what you're seeing 115 00:05:13,200 --> 00:05:15,800 Speaker 1: is the best of justin fields in terms of how 116 00:05:15,839 --> 00:05:17,960 Speaker 1: you have to utilize him in terms of using the 117 00:05:18,080 --> 00:05:20,320 Speaker 1: run game, letting him be a part of it, getting 118 00:05:20,360 --> 00:05:22,080 Speaker 1: on the move. I thought the way that he played 119 00:05:22,080 --> 00:05:25,320 Speaker 1: in the playoffs actually kind of changed a little bit 120 00:05:25,320 --> 00:05:27,400 Speaker 1: of the narrative about his game because he did struggle 121 00:05:27,440 --> 00:05:30,120 Speaker 1: in those games against Indiana Northwestern. So it was good 122 00:05:30,200 --> 00:05:33,240 Speaker 1: to see him play better against elite competition. It kind 123 00:05:33,240 --> 00:05:36,960 Speaker 1: of puts some shine back on the star a little bit. Yeah, 124 00:05:37,040 --> 00:05:39,200 Speaker 1: And look, we've we've talked to so many people that 125 00:05:39,520 --> 00:05:42,120 Speaker 1: understand and know the quarterback position well. They coach it, 126 00:05:42,160 --> 00:05:44,880 Speaker 1: they teach it, they evaluate it, and the word toughness 127 00:05:44,960 --> 00:05:46,840 Speaker 1: comes up over and over again, and I think it's 128 00:05:46,880 --> 00:05:49,440 Speaker 1: a little bit undervalued to the general public. And man, 129 00:05:49,880 --> 00:05:51,960 Speaker 1: uh you see that shot again that he took in 130 00:05:51,960 --> 00:05:54,760 Speaker 1: that Clemson game to come back in that football game, 131 00:05:54,800 --> 00:05:56,760 Speaker 1: play the way he did and then compete the way 132 00:05:56,760 --> 00:05:59,719 Speaker 1: he did and the national championship, I thought was was 133 00:06:00,040 --> 00:06:03,600 Speaker 1: credibly impressive. One of the other topics of conversation we 134 00:06:03,680 --> 00:06:07,440 Speaker 1: hit on with Coach Day was about Justin's preparation. Here's 135 00:06:07,440 --> 00:06:10,799 Speaker 1: what he had to say. Yeah, one thing about Justin 136 00:06:10,839 --> 00:06:12,280 Speaker 1: in the meeting room is you don't have to tell 137 00:06:12,320 --> 00:06:16,359 Speaker 1: him something twice. He really picks things up quickly. And um, 138 00:06:16,400 --> 00:06:19,000 Speaker 1: you know, his recall is very similar to Joe Burrow 139 00:06:19,000 --> 00:06:21,560 Speaker 1: when you know, I was, I was here with Joe. 140 00:06:21,680 --> 00:06:24,080 Speaker 1: He he just understands things and they can take it 141 00:06:24,120 --> 00:06:26,120 Speaker 1: to the field very quickly. And I think that's a 142 00:06:26,200 --> 00:06:29,320 Speaker 1: that's a trait that, um, you know, not a lot 143 00:06:29,360 --> 00:06:32,320 Speaker 1: of people have. And I think the one thing too 144 00:06:32,320 --> 00:06:33,720 Speaker 1: that he does a good job of is he can 145 00:06:33,800 --> 00:06:36,840 Speaker 1: visualize a play on if you put it up on 146 00:06:36,880 --> 00:06:39,120 Speaker 1: the screen and then talk about, well, what if they 147 00:06:39,160 --> 00:06:40,960 Speaker 1: do this, what if they do that? You know, and 148 00:06:40,960 --> 00:06:43,080 Speaker 1: he's already thinking about the different coveries that may show 149 00:06:43,160 --> 00:06:47,200 Speaker 1: up back. When you hear Joe Burrow's name invoked and 150 00:06:47,240 --> 00:06:49,320 Speaker 1: we all cash, it seems like a million years ago. Yeah, 151 00:06:49,360 --> 00:06:51,919 Speaker 1: Joe Burrow, what's in Ohio state? Uh, you almost forget 152 00:06:51,960 --> 00:06:55,960 Speaker 1: about that. But to compare his ability to to grasp information, 153 00:06:56,080 --> 00:06:59,120 Speaker 1: that is huge. Yeah, it is huge because it gives 154 00:06:59,160 --> 00:07:02,920 Speaker 1: you an apt comparison because a lot of why we 155 00:07:02,960 --> 00:07:06,560 Speaker 1: celebrated Joe Burrow was about his ability to understanding, diagnose, 156 00:07:06,640 --> 00:07:09,080 Speaker 1: and process things of the line of scrimmager process things 157 00:07:09,320 --> 00:07:11,440 Speaker 1: in the middle of the snap. I would say that 158 00:07:11,480 --> 00:07:14,480 Speaker 1: with Justin Fields, like there's been some questions about that 159 00:07:14,600 --> 00:07:18,080 Speaker 1: ability to kind of see things to deal with changing coverage. Also, 160 00:07:18,160 --> 00:07:21,360 Speaker 1: when it comes to the preparation part of it, I 161 00:07:21,400 --> 00:07:24,520 Speaker 1: think Justin Fields even admitted for us to the Clemson game, Uh, 162 00:07:24,600 --> 00:07:26,680 Speaker 1: this is the most that I've prepared for in terms 163 00:07:26,720 --> 00:07:28,720 Speaker 1: of the film room and those things. And so as 164 00:07:28,760 --> 00:07:31,360 Speaker 1: he gets into the national football they again understands the 165 00:07:31,440 --> 00:07:34,800 Speaker 1: responsibilities of a franchise quarterback in terms of knowing everything 166 00:07:34,880 --> 00:07:36,880 Speaker 1: on the field. I think he will step up to 167 00:07:36,880 --> 00:07:39,280 Speaker 1: the standard. But he certainly has the traits and the 168 00:07:39,400 --> 00:07:42,600 Speaker 1: qualities to be a solid Even a great player is 169 00:07:42,640 --> 00:07:46,760 Speaker 1: just understanding how to diagnose and do those things real time. 170 00:07:46,800 --> 00:07:49,520 Speaker 1: When it comes to the process and speed, I had 171 00:07:49,560 --> 00:07:52,160 Speaker 1: no doubt. I think, as with any quarterback, the fit 172 00:07:52,320 --> 00:07:54,440 Speaker 1: is gonna be important, and we had a chance to 173 00:07:54,760 --> 00:07:57,400 Speaker 1: ask coach Day about what will be the right system 174 00:07:57,440 --> 00:08:02,200 Speaker 1: fit for justin fields. I think early on, um, you 175 00:08:02,200 --> 00:08:05,680 Speaker 1: know an offense that is you know, run play action, 176 00:08:06,160 --> 00:08:07,760 Speaker 1: get him on the move. He's really good out of 177 00:08:07,760 --> 00:08:12,160 Speaker 1: the pocket. UM, you know, controlled passing game. And and 178 00:08:12,160 --> 00:08:14,160 Speaker 1: then as time goes on and he starts to feel 179 00:08:14,200 --> 00:08:17,280 Speaker 1: more and more comfortable in the pocket with the third 180 00:08:17,320 --> 00:08:20,800 Speaker 1: down and red zone and uh, drop back passing concepts, 181 00:08:20,800 --> 00:08:22,800 Speaker 1: he'll he'll continue to just build and more reps he 182 00:08:22,840 --> 00:08:25,400 Speaker 1: gets to that the better. But but like any time 183 00:08:25,440 --> 00:08:28,400 Speaker 1: you have a young quarterback, I think things where he's 184 00:08:28,440 --> 00:08:30,560 Speaker 1: on the move and athletic and you given the ability 185 00:08:30,600 --> 00:08:33,040 Speaker 1: to make plays outside of the pocket, it's gonna be 186 00:08:33,120 --> 00:08:35,640 Speaker 1: exciting to watch. Um. The other thing part of his 187 00:08:35,679 --> 00:08:37,280 Speaker 1: game is when you study him in the red zone, 188 00:08:37,520 --> 00:08:39,839 Speaker 1: he's really good down there. And so if we can, 189 00:08:39,920 --> 00:08:41,600 Speaker 1: you know, find ways we always felt like we could 190 00:08:41,640 --> 00:08:43,280 Speaker 1: find ways to get the thing into the red zone 191 00:08:43,640 --> 00:08:45,760 Speaker 1: that he was really good down there, and so I 192 00:08:45,760 --> 00:08:47,559 Speaker 1: think any kind of offense that is gonna be able 193 00:08:47,559 --> 00:08:50,240 Speaker 1: to put him in those types of situations, Um, you 194 00:08:50,240 --> 00:08:53,000 Speaker 1: know he's gonna do well early on. And uh, this 195 00:08:53,080 --> 00:08:55,080 Speaker 1: is a guy who hasn't played a whole lot of football. 196 00:08:55,120 --> 00:08:57,000 Speaker 1: When you look at the grand body of work that 197 00:08:57,040 --> 00:09:00,720 Speaker 1: he's had, and I think the potentials through the roof Buck. 198 00:09:00,760 --> 00:09:02,480 Speaker 1: I don't know about you, but listening to the coach 199 00:09:02,520 --> 00:09:04,800 Speaker 1: there and I'm listening to him talking about, okay, early on, 200 00:09:04,920 --> 00:09:07,080 Speaker 1: you know us his athleticism, get him on the move, 201 00:09:07,559 --> 00:09:09,680 Speaker 1: let him create some things, and then he's gonna grow 202 00:09:09,720 --> 00:09:12,000 Speaker 1: and evolve into being more of that pocket guy. Am 203 00:09:12,000 --> 00:09:14,040 Speaker 1: I A Josh Allen just kind of popped up into 204 00:09:14,040 --> 00:09:15,640 Speaker 1: my head and I'm thinking, yeah, that was that was 205 00:09:15,679 --> 00:09:17,840 Speaker 1: the blueprint for Josh Allen. We've seen how that's worked 206 00:09:17,880 --> 00:09:21,440 Speaker 1: out in Buffalo. Look, I think that's easy perfect comparison. 207 00:09:21,520 --> 00:09:24,319 Speaker 1: I think it's the perfect blueprint because much like the 208 00:09:24,360 --> 00:09:27,800 Speaker 1: Buffalo bill is invested in Josh Allen by slowly adding 209 00:09:27,800 --> 00:09:30,480 Speaker 1: pieces around him, while also a definitely our offense to 210 00:09:30,559 --> 00:09:33,560 Speaker 1: Josh Allen's talent, I believe a team should follow a 211 00:09:33,640 --> 00:09:37,319 Speaker 1: similar framework for justin fields. Justin fields is mestly talented. 212 00:09:37,360 --> 00:09:39,959 Speaker 1: He can do things that you just don't see quarterbacks to. 213 00:09:40,080 --> 00:09:42,600 Speaker 1: It's six three chundred and thirty pounds running a four 214 00:09:42,679 --> 00:09:45,240 Speaker 1: four with big time arm talent. Now it's about the 215 00:09:45,320 --> 00:09:48,560 Speaker 1: offensive coordinated creating opportunities for him to play at his best. 216 00:09:48,800 --> 00:09:50,680 Speaker 1: And I think that is something that you have to 217 00:09:50,720 --> 00:09:53,040 Speaker 1: do because he certainly has a talent to be a star. 218 00:09:53,240 --> 00:09:55,600 Speaker 1: We'll see if someone can cultivate it. All right, I'm 219 00:09:55,600 --> 00:09:57,720 Speaker 1: gonna put you on the spot here, uh As we're 220 00:09:57,760 --> 00:10:00,800 Speaker 1: kind of wrapping up this discussion on Justin Field. I 221 00:10:00,880 --> 00:10:02,680 Speaker 1: know your conviction on him, so I just want the 222 00:10:02,720 --> 00:10:05,320 Speaker 1: rest of the country to know the San Francisco forty 223 00:10:05,400 --> 00:10:09,000 Speaker 1: Niners if they pass on Justin Fields and your opinion, Buck, 224 00:10:09,040 --> 00:10:12,200 Speaker 1: are they making a big mistake. I think they're making 225 00:10:12,240 --> 00:10:14,560 Speaker 1: a huge mistake if they passed on Justin Fields, because 226 00:10:14,600 --> 00:10:16,520 Speaker 1: I think he gives them the best of both worlds. 227 00:10:16,679 --> 00:10:19,360 Speaker 1: He gives an ability to play like they've been playing 228 00:10:19,400 --> 00:10:23,240 Speaker 1: with Jimmy Garoppolo, while also giving Kyle Shanahan the opportunity 229 00:10:23,280 --> 00:10:25,360 Speaker 1: to dig into playbook and pull it back out some 230 00:10:25,400 --> 00:10:27,680 Speaker 1: of those old plays that he did for r G three. 231 00:10:27,920 --> 00:10:29,800 Speaker 1: And so when you think of the mix of an 232 00:10:29,800 --> 00:10:33,560 Speaker 1: athletic quarterback playing with the versatile weapons that they have 233 00:10:34,000 --> 00:10:37,120 Speaker 1: on the outside. You're talking about a offense that can 234 00:10:37,160 --> 00:10:39,960 Speaker 1: create headaches with defensive coordinators around the league because you 235 00:10:40,040 --> 00:10:43,040 Speaker 1: have so many dynamic players that can do a bunch 236 00:10:43,040 --> 00:10:44,839 Speaker 1: of different things. I would not want to face the 237 00:10:44,960 --> 00:10:47,160 Speaker 1: forty nine as if Justin Fields was a quarterback. Well, 238 00:10:47,200 --> 00:10:49,640 Speaker 1: they're gonna get one more look at him. April fourteenth, 239 00:10:49,640 --> 00:10:51,760 Speaker 1: another pro day there for Justin Field. See if he 240 00:10:51,840 --> 00:10:54,240 Speaker 1: can't convince the forty niners he should be the third 241 00:10:54,280 --> 00:10:57,840 Speaker 1: pick in the draft. Now. Jay Harris running back at Alabama. 242 00:10:57,960 --> 00:11:00,480 Speaker 1: Even though Harrits only participated in the workout portion of 243 00:11:00,480 --> 00:11:03,520 Speaker 1: Alabama's pro day, he tells Bucky he's ready for the draft. 244 00:11:04,240 --> 00:11:05,920 Speaker 1: How is everything going, because it's been a bit of 245 00:11:05,960 --> 00:11:09,960 Speaker 1: a whirlwind. Um, not only the college football season, which 246 00:11:10,000 --> 00:11:12,280 Speaker 1: was a challenge in itself dealing with all the protocols, 247 00:11:12,640 --> 00:11:15,079 Speaker 1: but now getting ready for the draft and all this stuff. 248 00:11:15,080 --> 00:11:17,920 Speaker 1: How are you managing? Yeah, I mean it's it's a 249 00:11:17,960 --> 00:11:20,200 Speaker 1: it's a different adjustment for sure. Um. I mean you're 250 00:11:20,200 --> 00:11:22,840 Speaker 1: being in Bahama of course for four years, and I 251 00:11:22,840 --> 00:11:25,559 Speaker 1: mean you're you're in there in their rule system of 252 00:11:25,840 --> 00:11:27,640 Speaker 1: what to do with time, wake up and you're just 253 00:11:27,840 --> 00:11:30,960 Speaker 1: leaving out and preparing for the draft. Um. I mean, 254 00:11:31,000 --> 00:11:33,199 Speaker 1: I'm I'm right now. I'm in in Dallas right now, 255 00:11:33,640 --> 00:11:36,920 Speaker 1: Exos in Dallas, training with Brent Callaway. Um. It's actually 256 00:11:36,960 --> 00:11:40,319 Speaker 1: really fun. I mean just to just to I guess to, 257 00:11:40,440 --> 00:11:42,640 Speaker 1: um to meet the guys out of there and I'll 258 00:11:42,679 --> 00:11:47,920 Speaker 1: be competing with eventually. Um. But at the running back position, 259 00:11:48,160 --> 00:11:50,440 Speaker 1: there's a couple of guys there, so UM, just just 260 00:11:50,480 --> 00:11:54,400 Speaker 1: doing an individual drills. Um, it's like good competitional. I'm 261 00:11:54,400 --> 00:11:56,360 Speaker 1: not trying to saying competing as in like you know 262 00:11:56,960 --> 00:11:59,000 Speaker 1: and the other way. It's good competition for us to 263 00:11:59,040 --> 00:12:02,120 Speaker 1: get better in training. Obviously we still go through the 264 00:12:02,160 --> 00:12:05,440 Speaker 1: COVID stuff like that. We still get temperatures to take 265 00:12:05,520 --> 00:12:08,280 Speaker 1: in and stuff like that. But I mean, it's it's 266 00:12:08,400 --> 00:12:11,400 Speaker 1: it's it's easier. I have to ask this because I 267 00:12:11,440 --> 00:12:14,839 Speaker 1: hear so much about Alabama and the process. What does 268 00:12:14,880 --> 00:12:19,240 Speaker 1: the process? What does it mean to you? What's the 269 00:12:19,320 --> 00:12:22,720 Speaker 1: process mean to me? Man? A lot of stress, a 270 00:12:22,720 --> 00:12:27,720 Speaker 1: lot of mental toughness. Um. I feel like, I mean, 271 00:12:27,720 --> 00:12:31,439 Speaker 1: obviously the hard work, but I feel like being at 272 00:12:31,440 --> 00:12:35,360 Speaker 1: that programs. It's not so much as the toll on 273 00:12:35,400 --> 00:12:38,640 Speaker 1: your body is it's more like physically like like your attitude. 274 00:12:38,679 --> 00:12:42,080 Speaker 1: Wise mentally, I'm trying to say, um, you gotta be 275 00:12:42,080 --> 00:12:44,320 Speaker 1: mentally strong that that damn place. I'm telling you right now, 276 00:12:44,640 --> 00:12:46,920 Speaker 1: you gotta be mentally strong for the meetings. You have 277 00:12:47,000 --> 00:12:49,080 Speaker 1: to save me yelling at you for no reason. I 278 00:12:49,120 --> 00:12:52,040 Speaker 1: mean just uh, putting like the small things like putting 279 00:12:52,080 --> 00:12:55,760 Speaker 1: your hair up and in a certain in a bun 280 00:12:55,880 --> 00:12:58,400 Speaker 1: I guess you can't have it hell hanging out, I 281 00:12:58,480 --> 00:13:00,920 Speaker 1: mean just all the meat ends and stuff like that, 282 00:13:01,000 --> 00:13:04,760 Speaker 1: and just it's just mentally you gotta be mentally there. 283 00:13:04,880 --> 00:13:08,640 Speaker 1: A lot of guys feel like that mental grind actually 284 00:13:08,679 --> 00:13:11,400 Speaker 1: prepares them very very well for the next level. Do 285 00:13:11,440 --> 00:13:14,520 Speaker 1: you feel like you're very prepared to International Football League 286 00:13:16,040 --> 00:13:18,360 Speaker 1: percent That's the beauty of it because Obama is like 287 00:13:18,760 --> 00:13:22,320 Speaker 1: the miniature NFL is. It is like they prepare you 288 00:13:22,400 --> 00:13:25,840 Speaker 1: the way they prepare us. Obama is ad like it 289 00:13:25,880 --> 00:13:29,080 Speaker 1: translates to the league. We have all types of guys 290 00:13:29,120 --> 00:13:33,680 Speaker 1: who have been in league, the teachers, and that's a huge, 291 00:13:33,800 --> 00:13:39,160 Speaker 1: huge piece to the um to developing the players. So 292 00:13:39,280 --> 00:13:42,280 Speaker 1: it's it's interesting, right my my podcast partner Dania Jeremiah, 293 00:13:42,400 --> 00:13:46,800 Speaker 1: who you eventually meet. He has compared you to Matt Forte, 294 00:13:46,920 --> 00:13:49,120 Speaker 1: who played for a long time for the Chicago Bears 295 00:13:49,920 --> 00:13:52,240 Speaker 1: and the New York Jets. What do you think about 296 00:13:52,280 --> 00:13:56,920 Speaker 1: that comparison? Mathleta is a legend for sure, though, Um, 297 00:13:57,000 --> 00:13:58,560 Speaker 1: but I don't see me as mathlete. I mean I 298 00:13:58,559 --> 00:14:00,360 Speaker 1: get all types of things. I heard that or I 299 00:14:00,400 --> 00:14:03,040 Speaker 1: heard Derek Henry of course, which I don't know why. 300 00:14:03,160 --> 00:14:05,920 Speaker 1: But who do you? Who do you? Who do you see? 301 00:14:06,520 --> 00:14:08,640 Speaker 1: Who do you see? Yeah? If you had to compare 302 00:14:08,640 --> 00:14:11,800 Speaker 1: yourself to somebody, Yeah, if I compare hself to somebody, 303 00:14:11,960 --> 00:14:17,960 Speaker 1: it's mean, like I understand, I understand like this people's 304 00:14:18,040 --> 00:14:20,560 Speaker 1: job to do the comparison and stuff like that, But 305 00:14:21,600 --> 00:14:24,640 Speaker 1: I mean there is no comparison and not to like 306 00:14:24,680 --> 00:14:27,680 Speaker 1: if there's like you can you can say what anybody want. 307 00:14:27,720 --> 00:14:30,280 Speaker 1: But like I feel like I'm my own person. I 308 00:14:30,320 --> 00:14:32,080 Speaker 1: bring my own game to the thing. I mean, like 309 00:14:32,680 --> 00:14:34,560 Speaker 1: we live in a society of the where everybody loves 310 00:14:34,600 --> 00:14:39,600 Speaker 1: to comparison. I mean one person I love watching uh 311 00:14:39,840 --> 00:14:42,800 Speaker 1: always was Adrian Peterson. I mean, like that's one guy 312 00:14:42,840 --> 00:14:47,560 Speaker 1: I love. But I mean, like, do you m he 313 00:14:47,600 --> 00:14:49,360 Speaker 1: can't catch the ball out of the back room. That's 314 00:14:49,400 --> 00:14:51,400 Speaker 1: what I'm saying. Oh, I didn't say that. That That was 315 00:14:51,480 --> 00:14:56,040 Speaker 1: you said that. You put that out. I didn't say 316 00:14:56,080 --> 00:15:00,960 Speaker 1: none of that, right, Yeah, Now, j Harrison very smart there, Buck, 317 00:15:01,000 --> 00:15:03,560 Speaker 1: He's not getting caught up in this Adrian Peterson and 318 00:15:03,600 --> 00:15:06,280 Speaker 1: I'm saying I'm better than Adrian Peterson. But here are 319 00:15:06,280 --> 00:15:08,840 Speaker 1: the strengths with Naja. You look at the big, smooth 320 00:15:08,920 --> 00:15:11,360 Speaker 1: running back. He's got the patients. He's excellent as a 321 00:15:11,440 --> 00:15:15,520 Speaker 1: pass catcher, dependable in past protection, doesn't have that huge juice, Buck, 322 00:15:16,080 --> 00:15:19,440 Speaker 1: But man, this is a fun player to study. He 323 00:15:19,560 --> 00:15:21,120 Speaker 1: is a fun player to study. We should put on 324 00:15:21,160 --> 00:15:23,240 Speaker 1: the exotape. We can see it. First thing that stands 325 00:15:23,240 --> 00:15:25,720 Speaker 1: out right away is his vision. His ability to find 326 00:15:25,760 --> 00:15:28,920 Speaker 1: decreases that the line of scrimmage are really uncommon for you, 327 00:15:29,000 --> 00:15:31,720 Speaker 1: big bag. That can be a banger there. You see 328 00:15:31,720 --> 00:15:34,680 Speaker 1: the explosive downhill ability, gets to the secondary, can run 329 00:15:34,680 --> 00:15:37,440 Speaker 1: away from the secondary, breaks tackles, does a great job 330 00:15:37,480 --> 00:15:40,600 Speaker 1: of finding pay dirt. Even though he's big. We talked 331 00:15:40,600 --> 00:15:42,480 Speaker 1: about a guy two hundred and thirty pounds. We see 332 00:15:42,480 --> 00:15:45,200 Speaker 1: the luteness jumping over defender, finding a way to put 333 00:15:45,240 --> 00:15:47,880 Speaker 1: it into paint. He does this. This to me is 334 00:15:47,920 --> 00:15:51,040 Speaker 1: the most impressive part of his game route running ability. 335 00:15:51,160 --> 00:15:54,320 Speaker 1: He runs rouse like a wide receiver. In fact, when 336 00:15:54,320 --> 00:15:56,200 Speaker 1: I look at him, he reminds me a lot of 337 00:15:56,240 --> 00:15:58,600 Speaker 1: Levyan Bill in terms of his ability to make plays 338 00:15:58,600 --> 00:16:00,880 Speaker 1: in the passing game. You see you with the hands 339 00:16:01,120 --> 00:16:05,480 Speaker 1: pass protection. He is a unique weapon, one that you 340 00:16:05,560 --> 00:16:07,800 Speaker 1: certainly can build an offensive running I think he's gonna 341 00:16:07,840 --> 00:16:10,840 Speaker 1: be a huge contributor right away when he gets to 342 00:16:10,880 --> 00:16:14,120 Speaker 1: the National Football League. Yeah, you know, intentionally with Alabama. 343 00:16:14,200 --> 00:16:16,280 Speaker 1: You can look at this track record of running backs 344 00:16:16,280 --> 00:16:19,120 Speaker 1: they've had over the last several years. It's impressive. Maybe 345 00:16:19,120 --> 00:16:21,480 Speaker 1: not as impressive though as the wide receiver group. Because 346 00:16:21,480 --> 00:16:23,960 Speaker 1: we're gonna have another two first round picks here from 347 00:16:24,000 --> 00:16:27,200 Speaker 1: Alabama this year, starting with Davante Smith, who to me 348 00:16:27,280 --> 00:16:29,520 Speaker 1: is the best route runner in this year's draft class. 349 00:16:29,520 --> 00:16:31,720 Speaker 1: Now we can debate where he stacks one, two, or 350 00:16:31,800 --> 00:16:34,240 Speaker 1: three on the top receiver list, but I don't think 351 00:16:34,280 --> 00:16:36,000 Speaker 1: there is any debate. If you want somebody just to 352 00:16:36,040 --> 00:16:39,080 Speaker 1: run routes, create separation, and go get it. Uh man, 353 00:16:39,360 --> 00:16:42,520 Speaker 1: he's pretty special. Buck, he is. Man. He is a 354 00:16:42,520 --> 00:16:45,360 Speaker 1: Craftsman's hen a skilled running does a great job of 355 00:16:45,480 --> 00:16:48,720 Speaker 1: creating space and separation. His partner on the other side, though, 356 00:16:48,800 --> 00:16:51,680 Speaker 1: Jalen Waddle is explosive. I think that is the one 357 00:16:51,720 --> 00:16:53,560 Speaker 1: word that you would have to use to describe him 358 00:16:53,560 --> 00:16:57,360 Speaker 1: after watching his tape. He explodes and separates away from defenders. 359 00:16:57,600 --> 00:17:00,600 Speaker 1: He is dynamic with the ball in his ends in 360 00:17:00,720 --> 00:17:03,800 Speaker 1: his ability to score from anyone in the field enhances 361 00:17:03,840 --> 00:17:07,960 Speaker 1: an elevation offense. You talking about two unique playmakers that 362 00:17:08,160 --> 00:17:12,200 Speaker 1: the Alabama Christal Tie were able to produced this season. Well, 363 00:17:12,200 --> 00:17:13,880 Speaker 1: if you want to wide out, you can go shopping 364 00:17:14,000 --> 00:17:16,200 Speaker 1: either in Tuscaloos or you can go to Baton Rouge. 365 00:17:16,280 --> 00:17:19,160 Speaker 1: Because to me, the best wide receiver in this year's 366 00:17:19,240 --> 00:17:21,960 Speaker 1: draft class is Jamaar Chase from l s U. We 367 00:17:22,000 --> 00:17:24,000 Speaker 1: saw him recently at his pro day. You see the 368 00:17:24,000 --> 00:17:25,640 Speaker 1: size there. He's not the biggest guy in the world, 369 00:17:25,640 --> 00:17:28,880 Speaker 1: but he plays much bigger than that. He's strong, he's powerful. 370 00:17:29,240 --> 00:17:32,200 Speaker 1: He can win on those fifty fifty balls. Maybe occasionally 371 00:17:32,240 --> 00:17:34,560 Speaker 1: drop a ball in the back kip, but that's nip picking. 372 00:17:34,640 --> 00:17:36,920 Speaker 1: We can go to the video and I can show 373 00:17:36,960 --> 00:17:39,560 Speaker 1: you what makes him the top wide out in this 374 00:17:39,640 --> 00:17:41,359 Speaker 1: year's draft class. First of all, let's start with the 375 00:17:41,400 --> 00:17:44,600 Speaker 1: fact he's in the SEC. Both the Alabama kids and 376 00:17:44,640 --> 00:17:46,920 Speaker 1: the l s U receivers. They're getting after some top 377 00:17:46,920 --> 00:17:50,200 Speaker 1: tier corners. Can you beat press? Absolutely, he can beat 378 00:17:50,240 --> 00:17:53,000 Speaker 1: pressed with his physicality. He can beat it with his quickness. 379 00:17:53,400 --> 00:17:55,439 Speaker 1: See a little bit of the subtle separation there at 380 00:17:55,440 --> 00:17:58,320 Speaker 1: the top. He's good at playing that game. Physicality. Here 381 00:17:58,320 --> 00:18:00,880 Speaker 1: it is again at the line of scrimmage. Swipe it away. 382 00:18:00,960 --> 00:18:03,560 Speaker 1: How about the physicality at the top, Little Michael Irvin nudge, 383 00:18:04,119 --> 00:18:07,440 Speaker 1: give life of separation, and then how about the suddenness? 384 00:18:07,560 --> 00:18:10,080 Speaker 1: Can you stack, get on top and then separate? Boom, 385 00:18:10,160 --> 00:18:12,800 Speaker 1: there he goes up above the rimp that the fifty balls. 386 00:18:12,800 --> 00:18:15,840 Speaker 1: Show me the strong hands. He did that just about 387 00:18:15,880 --> 00:18:18,200 Speaker 1: every tape you watched, you saw Joe Burrow give him 388 00:18:18,200 --> 00:18:21,200 Speaker 1: opportunities to make plays like this, So we've seen him 389 00:18:21,200 --> 00:18:25,280 Speaker 1: do it at a very high level against elite competition. Buck. Look, 390 00:18:25,320 --> 00:18:27,480 Speaker 1: he's an elite player. But the goat on the other 391 00:18:27,520 --> 00:18:31,440 Speaker 1: side is not too bad either. That's terrorist Marshall, big athletic, whiteout, 392 00:18:31,480 --> 00:18:34,280 Speaker 1: smooth strider does a great job of using his body 393 00:18:34,280 --> 00:18:38,000 Speaker 1: to create space. Not quite the route runner. Of his counterpart, 394 00:18:38,200 --> 00:18:40,560 Speaker 1: but he is very, very productive. And so when you 395 00:18:40,600 --> 00:18:44,240 Speaker 1: think about having two guys that are able to kind 396 00:18:44,240 --> 00:18:46,160 Speaker 1: of get down like they've been able to get down, 397 00:18:46,320 --> 00:18:49,159 Speaker 1: Jamaar chased and Terrorist Marshall is a part of the 398 00:18:49,240 --> 00:18:51,920 Speaker 1: legacy of L s U and their playmakers on the outside, 399 00:18:52,640 --> 00:18:54,879 Speaker 1: and those numbers from the workout pretty darn impressive. One 400 00:18:54,920 --> 00:18:57,119 Speaker 1: of the few bigger whiteouts in this year's draft class 401 00:18:57,160 --> 00:18:59,640 Speaker 1: has a chance to go in Round one. This kind 402 00:18:59,680 --> 00:19:01,520 Speaker 1: of thing, and we're talking about Alabama, We're talking about 403 00:19:01,600 --> 00:19:04,000 Speaker 1: L s U. Look at this, We're gonna have seven 404 00:19:04,280 --> 00:19:08,359 Speaker 1: first round picks from these two schools alone between twenty 405 00:19:09,520 --> 00:19:11,359 Speaker 1: one draft. So Buck, as we look at this list 406 00:19:11,400 --> 00:19:13,800 Speaker 1: of the Bama receivers, you see the L s U 407 00:19:13,920 --> 00:19:18,040 Speaker 1: receivers led by Justin Jefferson, the phenomenal rookie season he had. Uh, 408 00:19:18,080 --> 00:19:20,879 Speaker 1: if you gotta pick one going into the future, who 409 00:19:20,920 --> 00:19:24,160 Speaker 1: would you who would you invest in between these two groups. Well, 410 00:19:24,160 --> 00:19:26,399 Speaker 1: I'm I'm gonna go Tigers. I'm gonna go with L 411 00:19:26,560 --> 00:19:29,320 Speaker 1: s U because I've seen Justin Jefferson played at level 412 00:19:29,359 --> 00:19:32,480 Speaker 1: that was almost worthy of winning the Offensive Rookie of 413 00:19:32,480 --> 00:19:34,520 Speaker 1: the Year. And then you think about Jamaar Chase and 414 00:19:34,560 --> 00:19:37,400 Speaker 1: the fact that Jamaar Chase was actually the number one 415 00:19:37,400 --> 00:19:40,800 Speaker 1: receiver when Justin Jefferson was there. That speaks volumes about 416 00:19:41,040 --> 00:19:43,880 Speaker 1: his talent. So for me, I love with the Alabama 417 00:19:43,920 --> 00:19:47,480 Speaker 1: receivers have been able to do. But man, those Tigers. 418 00:19:47,520 --> 00:19:50,600 Speaker 1: Man get rock with the Tigers in this one. Well, 419 00:19:50,800 --> 00:19:53,840 Speaker 1: I'm gonna go quantity here. I've got four, You've got three. 420 00:19:53,880 --> 00:19:56,320 Speaker 1: I've got four. So if if I go with Obama, 421 00:19:56,800 --> 00:19:58,560 Speaker 1: I mean I'm not a math guy. Before is more 422 00:19:58,600 --> 00:20:01,880 Speaker 1: than three. So to you get a chance with Davonte Smith, 423 00:20:01,920 --> 00:20:03,639 Speaker 1: who I think it's gonna be a high volume receiver 424 00:20:03,840 --> 00:20:06,600 Speaker 1: as Jerry Judy I think is going to grow into 425 00:20:06,720 --> 00:20:09,120 Speaker 1: for the Denver Broncos. And then I've got the two 426 00:20:09,119 --> 00:20:12,160 Speaker 1: home run hitters. I've got Rugs with the Raiders. Um 427 00:20:12,720 --> 00:20:14,760 Speaker 1: flashed a little bit last year, needs to needs to 428 00:20:14,800 --> 00:20:16,640 Speaker 1: get better. I think he will. And then you look 429 00:20:16,640 --> 00:20:18,920 Speaker 1: at Wattle. What he's gonna do not only isn't over 430 00:20:18,960 --> 00:20:21,000 Speaker 1: the top receiver, but it's somebody that can help you 431 00:20:21,000 --> 00:20:24,240 Speaker 1: on special teams as a dynamic returner. So, um, you're 432 00:20:24,280 --> 00:20:27,160 Speaker 1: going Tigers, I'll go tied. I know one thing if 433 00:20:27,160 --> 00:20:29,960 Speaker 1: you're a team that has any of these seven wide 434 00:20:29,960 --> 00:20:34,240 Speaker 1: receivers going forward, you're happy those Those are the real winners, 435 00:20:34,280 --> 00:20:36,439 Speaker 1: Bucky Brooks, those are the real winners, the teams that 436 00:20:36,480 --> 00:20:41,359 Speaker 1: get to deploy these fantastic weapons. We're gonna take the 437 00:20:41,440 --> 00:20:44,399 Speaker 1: Dallas Cowboys inside the move the Stick's body shop in 438 00:20:44,480 --> 00:20:47,119 Speaker 1: just a moment. But first of all, Buck new contract 439 00:20:47,160 --> 00:20:50,160 Speaker 1: for Dak Prescott, what does that mean to you? Well, 440 00:20:50,160 --> 00:20:54,080 Speaker 1: it means that they finally confirmed and solidified Dak Prescott 441 00:20:54,119 --> 00:20:57,160 Speaker 1: status as the franchise quarterback, banning him over forty million 442 00:20:57,160 --> 00:20:59,440 Speaker 1: dollars a year. He is now interest to be just 443 00:20:59,480 --> 00:21:02,200 Speaker 1: Cowboys starter for maybe the next four or five years. 444 00:21:02,240 --> 00:21:04,440 Speaker 1: And so now you can go about building the team 445 00:21:04,480 --> 00:21:09,359 Speaker 1: with Dak Prescott emerging from game manager to playmaker. And 446 00:21:09,400 --> 00:21:11,600 Speaker 1: I think the decision that you make now have to 447 00:21:11,640 --> 00:21:15,200 Speaker 1: be about enhancing Dad prescott skills as a playmaker. Yeah, 448 00:21:15,240 --> 00:21:17,480 Speaker 1: they really started to put more on his shoulders with 449 00:21:17,520 --> 00:21:20,760 Speaker 1: this offense before this last injury he suffered. But man, 450 00:21:20,800 --> 00:21:23,200 Speaker 1: I think he's still growing as a player, which should 451 00:21:23,200 --> 00:21:25,080 Speaker 1: be exciting for Cowboy fans. And I think one of 452 00:21:25,119 --> 00:21:28,040 Speaker 1: the big beneficiaries of this deal getting done is with 453 00:21:28,080 --> 00:21:30,359 Speaker 1: the continuity. I look at a guy like Ceedee Lamb 454 00:21:30,520 --> 00:21:32,960 Speaker 1: coming off the rookie season that he had last year, 455 00:21:33,320 --> 00:21:35,640 Speaker 1: not having Dak Prescott out there for very long, still 456 00:21:35,640 --> 00:21:38,719 Speaker 1: catching seventy four balls almost a thousand yards. I think 457 00:21:38,760 --> 00:21:42,000 Speaker 1: you're gonna see Ceedee Lamb put up prolific numbers working 458 00:21:42,000 --> 00:21:44,840 Speaker 1: with Dak Prescott. You know, I agree with you, DJ, 459 00:21:45,040 --> 00:21:47,800 Speaker 1: Ceedee Lamb, but also a Marii Cooper and Ezekiel Elliott. 460 00:21:48,040 --> 00:21:51,400 Speaker 1: All of those guys numbers were better when Dak Prescott 461 00:21:51,440 --> 00:21:53,120 Speaker 1: was on the field. I think you have an opportunity 462 00:21:53,119 --> 00:21:55,120 Speaker 1: to see this guy. Boys offense returned to a top 463 00:21:55,160 --> 00:21:58,000 Speaker 1: five offense with Dak Prescott. All right, it's time let's 464 00:21:58,000 --> 00:21:59,720 Speaker 1: get inside the body shop here and see if we 465 00:21:59,760 --> 00:22:02,880 Speaker 1: can't about the Dallas Cowboys. How about the needs here? 466 00:22:02,880 --> 00:22:05,840 Speaker 1: What do we need to fix on this car here? Well, 467 00:22:05,840 --> 00:22:08,320 Speaker 1: you know, DJ, last year they played with two undrafted 468 00:22:08,359 --> 00:22:11,119 Speaker 1: free agents at tackle after injuries, the Lele Collins and 469 00:22:11,119 --> 00:22:13,920 Speaker 1: Tymms Smiths. So office, the line has to be a consideration. 470 00:22:14,160 --> 00:22:17,080 Speaker 1: You need to edge rusher opposite to Marcus Lawrence. Randy 471 00:22:17,080 --> 00:22:19,240 Speaker 1: Gregory came on like game busses, But you want another 472 00:22:19,240 --> 00:22:22,080 Speaker 1: guy that you can depend on. Cornerback has always been 473 00:22:22,119 --> 00:22:24,879 Speaker 1: an issue. You have Trevor Digs out there that you 474 00:22:24,920 --> 00:22:26,680 Speaker 1: feel good about, but who is the corner that starts 475 00:22:26,760 --> 00:22:28,800 Speaker 1: opposite and they have been on the hunt for his 476 00:22:28,920 --> 00:22:32,680 Speaker 1: safety for a long time. A playmaker um that can 477 00:22:32,800 --> 00:22:35,520 Speaker 1: roam and cover certainly needs to be a priority. When 478 00:22:35,520 --> 00:22:38,840 Speaker 1: you have Dan Quinn coming over to take over this defense. Well, 479 00:22:38,880 --> 00:22:40,479 Speaker 1: we say it every week in the body chef. Here 480 00:22:40,480 --> 00:22:42,280 Speaker 1: in the engine. You've got to start with the engine, 481 00:22:42,320 --> 00:22:44,439 Speaker 1: and that is the NFL draft. That's what makes this 482 00:22:44,520 --> 00:22:46,720 Speaker 1: car work here. So when we look at this draft, 483 00:22:46,760 --> 00:22:49,320 Speaker 1: we've got the tenth overall pick for the Cowboys, Buck, 484 00:22:49,359 --> 00:22:52,680 Speaker 1: what do they do? Oh Reshawn Slater? If reshn Slater 485 00:22:52,840 --> 00:22:54,919 Speaker 1: is there at ten, they must make the move. They 486 00:22:54,960 --> 00:22:57,400 Speaker 1: must make the pick. We can talk about their defense 487 00:22:57,440 --> 00:22:59,639 Speaker 1: and upgrading the cornerback, but sometimes you want to be 488 00:22:59,680 --> 00:23:03,159 Speaker 1: all on strength. Upgrade this offense. Get the may tackle 489 00:23:03,480 --> 00:23:07,280 Speaker 1: that also has position flexibility that maybe kick inside and 490 00:23:07,280 --> 00:23:11,480 Speaker 1: play guard. You now have a position of need short 491 00:23:11,640 --> 00:23:15,280 Speaker 1: up because you've protected in case of injury UH with 492 00:23:15,520 --> 00:23:18,200 Speaker 1: Collins and Smith, and you also maybe have upgraded a 493 00:23:18,359 --> 00:23:20,920 Speaker 1: left guard. If you want to upgrade and remove Connor 494 00:23:20,920 --> 00:23:22,879 Speaker 1: Weins from the start the lineup. Well, you saw that 495 00:23:22,880 --> 00:23:24,720 Speaker 1: stat there on the bottom of the screen's a second ago. 496 00:23:25,040 --> 00:23:27,879 Speaker 1: Under pressure thirty point five percent of the dropbacks last season, 497 00:23:27,920 --> 00:23:30,880 Speaker 1: fifth highest in the NFL. So getting better and and 498 00:23:31,080 --> 00:23:33,840 Speaker 1: pass protection is key for this football team. I love 499 00:23:33,920 --> 00:23:37,239 Speaker 1: that pick of Slater inside outside flexibility as well. I'm 500 00:23:37,240 --> 00:23:39,200 Speaker 1: gonna go here pick forty four. I know you talked 501 00:23:39,200 --> 00:23:41,760 Speaker 1: about edge rush, but I'm actually get some interior rush 502 00:23:41,800 --> 00:23:45,240 Speaker 1: here with Levi Ansurique from Washington as a as a 503 00:23:45,280 --> 00:23:48,520 Speaker 1: three technique, somebody that can get up field. He's disruptive, 504 00:23:48,600 --> 00:23:51,080 Speaker 1: he can generate a lot of pressures. Didn't didn't play 505 00:23:51,119 --> 00:23:52,879 Speaker 1: in twenty he was an opt out. But you go 506 00:23:52,920 --> 00:23:56,880 Speaker 1: back to twenty nineteen, specifically the Stanford game buck Um, 507 00:23:56,920 --> 00:23:59,840 Speaker 1: I thought he was very dynamic and the dan Quinn's scheme, 508 00:24:00,000 --> 00:24:03,240 Speaker 1: getting somebody inside that can get up the field is huge. Yeah, 509 00:24:03,359 --> 00:24:05,320 Speaker 1: getting up the field is huge in this game. And 510 00:24:05,359 --> 00:24:07,880 Speaker 1: we saw when he was in Atlanta Grady Jared emerged 511 00:24:08,119 --> 00:24:10,520 Speaker 1: not the same type player, but we understand the value 512 00:24:10,520 --> 00:24:14,359 Speaker 1: of inside pass rush in d q's defense. No doubt 513 00:24:14,359 --> 00:24:16,639 Speaker 1: that that's actually not a terrible comparison. I think there 514 00:24:16,720 --> 00:24:18,720 Speaker 1: is some similarities there. How about pick seventy five, What 515 00:24:18,760 --> 00:24:21,199 Speaker 1: are you doing here? Let's double up. Let's double up 516 00:24:21,200 --> 00:24:23,919 Speaker 1: at offensive tackle. Make sure we're solidified. Spencer Brown with 517 00:24:23,960 --> 00:24:26,880 Speaker 1: the seventy five overall pick. This is a guy as 518 00:24:27,000 --> 00:24:30,239 Speaker 1: long athletic in high school, like eight man football has 519 00:24:30,280 --> 00:24:32,679 Speaker 1: a tied end. So now you've seen him develop and 520 00:24:32,680 --> 00:24:35,760 Speaker 1: become a guy who was on the customer being ready 521 00:24:35,800 --> 00:24:37,720 Speaker 1: to be a plug and play starter. I think you 522 00:24:37,800 --> 00:24:40,360 Speaker 1: get him. You now make sure that you have all 523 00:24:40,440 --> 00:24:42,720 Speaker 1: kinds of insurance to make sure this offensive line can 524 00:24:42,760 --> 00:24:45,560 Speaker 1: always function no matter if Leo Collins and Jarrons Smith 525 00:24:45,560 --> 00:24:48,040 Speaker 1: are available or not. Yeah, I'm gonna go get his 526 00:24:48,080 --> 00:24:50,520 Speaker 1: teammate here. I wanna go grab Ellerson. Smith's went back 527 00:24:50,520 --> 00:24:53,560 Speaker 1: to back Northern Iowa picks here for the Cowboys, Ellerson 528 00:24:53,600 --> 00:24:57,040 Speaker 1: Smith reminds me a lot of Max Crosby, very long. 529 00:24:57,119 --> 00:24:59,720 Speaker 1: He was a productive player no season for them obviously 530 00:25:00,320 --> 00:25:03,520 Speaker 1: in but man very productive in twenty nineteen. This is 531 00:25:03,560 --> 00:25:06,320 Speaker 1: a Cowboys team. Uh next gen stats letting us know 532 00:25:06,359 --> 00:25:10,399 Speaker 1: twenty nine percent of the dropbacks they blitzed in last season. 533 00:25:10,440 --> 00:25:11,920 Speaker 1: They can't afford to do that. They've got to be 534 00:25:11,960 --> 00:25:13,480 Speaker 1: able to get home with four and I think we've 535 00:25:13,480 --> 00:25:16,040 Speaker 1: been able to accomplish that now with a couple of 536 00:25:16,119 --> 00:25:19,639 Speaker 1: defensive lineman. We've got a couple offensive lineman here for 537 00:25:19,680 --> 00:25:22,639 Speaker 1: the Cowboys as well. So inside the body shop for 538 00:25:22,800 --> 00:25:25,440 Speaker 1: us here in the movie Stick's body Shop, it's all 539 00:25:25,480 --> 00:25:31,280 Speaker 1: about the trenches. One NFL draft is right around the corner. 540 00:25:31,320 --> 00:25:35,080 Speaker 1: Trevor Lawrence, Zack Wilson, Mac Jones, justin fields. They're all 541 00:25:35,080 --> 00:25:37,280 Speaker 1: going to hear their name called very early on night 542 00:25:37,400 --> 00:25:39,800 Speaker 1: number one. You can find the coverage right here on 543 00:25:40,040 --> 00:25:44,360 Speaker 1: NFL Network April twenty nine at eight pm Eastern. Well, 544 00:25:44,359 --> 00:25:46,360 Speaker 1: I know the quarterback who's likely to hear his name 545 00:25:46,359 --> 00:25:48,920 Speaker 1: called very early in round one is Trey Lance from 546 00:25:48,960 --> 00:25:52,199 Speaker 1: North Dakota State. He wants seventeen and oh culminating in 547 00:25:52,240 --> 00:25:55,080 Speaker 1: a national championship. In his loan full season as a 548 00:25:55,080 --> 00:25:58,200 Speaker 1: starter at North Dakota State, he's been turning heads ever 549 00:25:58,320 --> 00:26:00,800 Speaker 1: since he stepped on the field. Might be a little 550 00:26:00,800 --> 00:26:02,960 Speaker 1: bit raw, but he's got all the tools you look 551 00:26:03,040 --> 00:26:07,240 Speaker 1: for in a team leader. Meanwhile, the quarterback who lands 552 00:26:07,280 --> 00:26:11,320 Speaker 1: succeeded in North Dakota State, Easton Stick said the FCS 553 00:26:11,400 --> 00:26:13,600 Speaker 1: record for most career wins while he was in college. 554 00:26:13,720 --> 00:26:16,560 Speaker 1: Stick will be entering his third season as the Charges 555 00:26:16,600 --> 00:26:20,919 Speaker 1: back up, and recently spoke about his protege's prospects decided 556 00:26:20,960 --> 00:26:23,360 Speaker 1: to be joined by Eastern Stick Easton. First of all, Man, 557 00:26:23,520 --> 00:26:26,200 Speaker 1: I'm curious what you've been up to since the season 558 00:26:26,240 --> 00:26:29,400 Speaker 1: got done. Yeah, it was nice to kind of get 559 00:26:29,440 --> 00:26:31,800 Speaker 1: away for a little bit, be able to go back 560 00:26:31,840 --> 00:26:34,879 Speaker 1: home and and see family back in the Midwest, and 561 00:26:35,320 --> 00:26:38,200 Speaker 1: especially just the way the year went with with all 562 00:26:38,240 --> 00:26:41,080 Speaker 1: of you know, everybody's going through it. Uh, they're different 563 00:26:41,080 --> 00:26:44,640 Speaker 1: way with you know, the COVID nineteen and then uh, 564 00:26:44,720 --> 00:26:46,560 Speaker 1: the year not going the way we wanted to wins 565 00:26:46,560 --> 00:26:48,640 Speaker 1: and loss wise. But um, it was good to get 566 00:26:48,680 --> 00:26:50,960 Speaker 1: back home and step boy from football for a bit 567 00:26:51,119 --> 00:26:53,439 Speaker 1: and uh, you know, made my way back to California 568 00:26:53,520 --> 00:26:55,440 Speaker 1: now and and kind of back into the swing of things, 569 00:26:55,440 --> 00:26:58,280 Speaker 1: getting back into the routine, working out, throwing all that 570 00:26:58,320 --> 00:27:00,600 Speaker 1: fun stuff. So, uh, kind of up at the bit 571 00:27:00,640 --> 00:27:02,639 Speaker 1: here to see kind of where we fall with with 572 00:27:02,760 --> 00:27:05,880 Speaker 1: offseason stuff. Um, but excited to kind of be back 573 00:27:05,880 --> 00:27:08,800 Speaker 1: in the swing of it. It's a challenge, I know, 574 00:27:08,800 --> 00:27:10,959 Speaker 1: when you're not getting out there and getting actual game reps, 575 00:27:11,400 --> 00:27:13,680 Speaker 1: but you get a chance this year you saw Justin 576 00:27:13,720 --> 00:27:16,280 Speaker 1: Herbert and and that just took off for him. Tyrod 577 00:27:16,280 --> 00:27:18,800 Speaker 1: Taylor's moved on. Now you're in a in a spot 578 00:27:18,880 --> 00:27:20,240 Speaker 1: right now where you can probably have to play some 579 00:27:20,320 --> 00:27:23,240 Speaker 1: games here going forward. What what did you work on 580 00:27:23,320 --> 00:27:26,280 Speaker 1: this last year away from our eyes, just on the 581 00:27:26,280 --> 00:27:30,320 Speaker 1: practice field for yourself to get better? Yeah, like you said, 582 00:27:30,480 --> 00:27:33,199 Speaker 1: you just got to maximize the reps that you do get, um, 583 00:27:33,280 --> 00:27:36,240 Speaker 1: and then obviously the mental reps and and all that. Shoot. 584 00:27:36,320 --> 00:27:38,440 Speaker 1: Feel like I probably lead the league, you know, and 585 00:27:38,720 --> 00:27:40,920 Speaker 1: some of those being able to watch, watching Gustin and 586 00:27:41,040 --> 00:27:44,040 Speaker 1: Tyrode all those guys, and so just getting a chance 587 00:27:44,080 --> 00:27:45,600 Speaker 1: when when you are on the scout team to to 588 00:27:45,600 --> 00:27:47,639 Speaker 1: work on the small stuff. Um, And I think the 589 00:27:47,640 --> 00:27:49,760 Speaker 1: biggest thing you get out of that is you're going 590 00:27:49,800 --> 00:27:53,520 Speaker 1: against Joy both Um, you know, Chris Harris, Casey Hayward, 591 00:27:53,520 --> 00:27:55,760 Speaker 1: those guys that are really good football players. And so 592 00:27:55,800 --> 00:27:57,800 Speaker 1: now it's about, okay, how do you feel the pocket 593 00:27:57,880 --> 00:28:00,040 Speaker 1: and and work on some of that that stuff that 594 00:28:00,080 --> 00:28:02,400 Speaker 1: you don't necessarily get in drills. You know, It's it's 595 00:28:02,400 --> 00:28:04,720 Speaker 1: one thing to complete a ball on air. It's another 596 00:28:04,760 --> 00:28:07,440 Speaker 1: thing when Chris Harris is on their back and uh, 597 00:28:07,480 --> 00:28:09,240 Speaker 1: you know, Joey's rushing off the edge and there's a 598 00:28:09,240 --> 00:28:11,280 Speaker 1: guard in your face. And so just trying to maximize 599 00:28:11,320 --> 00:28:14,280 Speaker 1: those reps um and put myself in and what's this 600 00:28:14,400 --> 00:28:16,960 Speaker 1: close to a game situation as possible. Um, So, just 601 00:28:17,000 --> 00:28:19,320 Speaker 1: a lot of stuff with the footwork and um, you know, 602 00:28:19,359 --> 00:28:21,840 Speaker 1: trying to be clean and and rhythmic with that stuff. 603 00:28:23,240 --> 00:28:25,080 Speaker 1: I'm curious on that, and I think it's a great point. 604 00:28:25,080 --> 00:28:26,840 Speaker 1: I mean, are you are you kind of seeing what 605 00:28:26,880 --> 00:28:29,080 Speaker 1: you can and can't get away with there? I mean 606 00:28:29,119 --> 00:28:31,359 Speaker 1: it's a great it's really great lab for you to 607 00:28:31,400 --> 00:28:34,359 Speaker 1: be able to work on that. Yeah, definitely, there's a 608 00:28:34,520 --> 00:28:36,400 Speaker 1: there's a there's a there's I guess there's a line 609 00:28:36,480 --> 00:28:39,400 Speaker 1: right of how much do you need to um, you know, 610 00:28:39,480 --> 00:28:43,200 Speaker 1: prepare yourself to play, but also prepare the defense to 611 00:28:43,200 --> 00:28:45,560 Speaker 1: to who they're playing and what they're gonna get. And 612 00:28:45,600 --> 00:28:47,520 Speaker 1: then at the same time, right, let's let's try to 613 00:28:47,560 --> 00:28:50,040 Speaker 1: improve and like it's a it's a testing lab. What 614 00:28:50,120 --> 00:28:52,080 Speaker 1: can you get away with? What can't you do? Um? 615 00:28:52,120 --> 00:28:54,640 Speaker 1: And so seeing Justin and some of the throws he makes, 616 00:28:54,760 --> 00:28:56,720 Speaker 1: you know, on Sundays, it's like, okay, you know, is 617 00:28:56,720 --> 00:28:58,400 Speaker 1: that something I can do? Can I try to press 618 00:28:58,440 --> 00:29:00,520 Speaker 1: that here? Or is that not something that that I'm 619 00:29:00,560 --> 00:29:02,600 Speaker 1: able to do? And maybe you know, I see it 620 00:29:02,600 --> 00:29:04,520 Speaker 1: a little bit of different way. This coverage takes me 621 00:29:04,600 --> 00:29:07,560 Speaker 1: here rather than you know, pro justin made or Tiro 622 00:29:07,560 --> 00:29:09,760 Speaker 1: out and so like you said, there there's a lot 623 00:29:09,800 --> 00:29:11,960 Speaker 1: of stuff that you can improve on, and um, you know, 624 00:29:12,000 --> 00:29:13,760 Speaker 1: I've tried my best to take advantage of that the 625 00:29:13,800 --> 00:29:16,920 Speaker 1: last couple of years. No, I think you're smart to 626 00:29:16,920 --> 00:29:18,800 Speaker 1: do so. Man, you think about Patrick Mahomes in the 627 00:29:18,880 --> 00:29:21,120 Speaker 1: in the year that he had to sit behind Alex 628 00:29:21,160 --> 00:29:23,280 Speaker 1: Smith and and just develop and go up against the 629 00:29:23,280 --> 00:29:26,120 Speaker 1: starting defense and make yourself better. I love that. Um, 630 00:29:26,400 --> 00:29:29,760 Speaker 1: I'm curious you just mentioned Herbert and you you were there. 631 00:29:29,800 --> 00:29:31,480 Speaker 1: I know he was young, he was just a freshman 632 00:29:31,520 --> 00:29:34,200 Speaker 1: with trade lance. But when you when you compare those 633 00:29:34,480 --> 00:29:36,880 Speaker 1: skill sets, is there any similarities there between those two 634 00:29:36,880 --> 00:29:41,000 Speaker 1: guys Eastern? Yeah, I think so. When I just both big, strong, 635 00:29:41,280 --> 00:29:44,560 Speaker 1: like physical and you talk about like the prototype, Um, 636 00:29:44,600 --> 00:29:47,000 Speaker 1: you know, physically, I think they're both right in there, 637 00:29:47,160 --> 00:29:49,840 Speaker 1: um with and then athletically what they're able to do. 638 00:29:50,000 --> 00:29:52,640 Speaker 1: Movement wise, they're both quick, they're both fast. They have 639 00:29:52,720 --> 00:29:56,640 Speaker 1: the ability to escape and stay athletic and make plays um, 640 00:29:56,720 --> 00:29:58,920 Speaker 1: you know, outside of the pocket. But I think that 641 00:29:59,040 --> 00:30:00,720 Speaker 1: the one thing that I think is really similar is 642 00:30:00,960 --> 00:30:04,440 Speaker 1: it's just mentally their ability to process. That was maybe 643 00:30:04,480 --> 00:30:07,120 Speaker 1: the thing that stood out Trey when when I was 644 00:30:07,160 --> 00:30:09,240 Speaker 1: first around him in North Dakota State and how quickly 645 00:30:09,280 --> 00:30:12,200 Speaker 1: he learned our offense um and how quickly he was 646 00:30:12,240 --> 00:30:14,720 Speaker 1: able to just kind of absorb everything and he was 647 00:30:14,760 --> 00:30:16,720 Speaker 1: being taught and Justin was the same way as you 648 00:30:16,880 --> 00:30:19,720 Speaker 1: han't no O t s no preseason to be thrown 649 00:30:19,720 --> 00:30:22,000 Speaker 1: in their week too, uh you know, as the balls 650 00:30:22,000 --> 00:30:24,840 Speaker 1: getting kicked off and they'll operate the offense and he 651 00:30:24,880 --> 00:30:27,840 Speaker 1: never looked back. And so I think just their mental makeup, 652 00:30:27,840 --> 00:30:30,719 Speaker 1: they're both mature um and can just handle a lot 653 00:30:30,760 --> 00:30:34,240 Speaker 1: of information and process it. So both super impressive that 654 00:30:34,280 --> 00:30:37,480 Speaker 1: way I think about it.

And so definitely excited 701 00:32:42,800 --> 00:32:45,880 Speaker 1: to get rolling whenever we can purely out of curiosity. 702 00:32:45,880 --> 00:32:48,240 Speaker 1: There's UM, there's a lot of stuff out there about 703 00:32:48,240 --> 00:32:51,160 Speaker 1: what could happen and the negotiating uh taking place right 704 00:32:51,200 --> 00:32:53,760 Speaker 1: now between the Union as well as the league, and 705 00:32:53,800 --> 00:32:56,240 Speaker 1: what the off season would look like. How does it 706 00:32:56,280 --> 00:32:58,680 Speaker 1: impact you when we had a virtual off season last 707 00:32:58,760 --> 00:33:02,320 Speaker 1: year as a young developed thig quarterback. UM, if we 708 00:33:02,440 --> 00:33:04,600 Speaker 1: if we do do away with with mini camps and 709 00:33:04,640 --> 00:33:07,200 Speaker 1: some of these offseason activities, how does that? How does 710 00:33:07,240 --> 00:33:10,680 Speaker 1: that impact you? And what's your what's your take on that? Yeah, 711 00:33:10,720 --> 00:33:14,000 Speaker 1: I mean it's tough, right because, Uh, obviously there are 712 00:33:14,040 --> 00:33:17,280 Speaker 1: no there's no way to replicate the reps. There's no 713 00:33:17,320 --> 00:33:19,720 Speaker 1: way that you can make up for for not having 714 00:33:19,760 --> 00:33:22,280 Speaker 1: those UM and so that's tough. But at the same time, 715 00:33:22,320 --> 00:33:24,560 Speaker 1: I think we've shown and guys have shown that you 716 00:33:24,560 --> 00:33:26,000 Speaker 1: can go out there and play at a high level 717 00:33:26,040 --> 00:33:29,080 Speaker 1: without it. Look at justin uh no t a s 718 00:33:29,240 --> 00:33:32,080 Speaker 1: no preseason and and to the Rookie of the Year 719 00:33:32,120 --> 00:33:34,760 Speaker 1: and UH look just about as good as anybody, uh 720 00:33:34,840 --> 00:33:37,320 Speaker 1: for for you know, a big stretch of the season. 721 00:33:37,360 --> 00:33:40,400 Speaker 1: And so it can be done without UM. There's ways 722 00:33:40,400 --> 00:33:42,600 Speaker 1: that you just get creative and and you find ways 723 00:33:42,600 --> 00:33:44,800 Speaker 1: to do it. That's been the biggest thing with with 724 00:33:44,840 --> 00:33:47,120 Speaker 1: all this COVID stuff is you just got to find 725 00:33:47,120 --> 00:33:49,640 Speaker 1: a way to adapt and grow and and just be flexible. 726 00:33:49,680 --> 00:33:51,600 Speaker 1: And so, UM, I think our league has done a 727 00:33:51,640 --> 00:33:54,080 Speaker 1: really good job with that. UM. And so whether we 728 00:33:54,120 --> 00:33:56,120 Speaker 1: have them or whether we don't, I know, guys will 729 00:33:56,120 --> 00:33:58,320 Speaker 1: be ready to play. They'll they'll find a way we 730 00:33:58,360 --> 00:34:00,800 Speaker 1: always do and UM, you know we'll be ready to 731 00:34:00,840 --> 00:34:04,120 Speaker 1: go regardless. Easton, Appreciate you taking some time for us today. 732 00:34:04,160 --> 00:34:06,280 Speaker 1: We want to do a little thing we've done on 733 00:34:06,320 --> 00:34:08,680 Speaker 1: the show called pro on Prospect. We take a pro 734 00:34:08,719 --> 00:34:11,480 Speaker 1: football player, we're looking at a draft prospect and there's 735 00:34:11,480 --> 00:34:13,960 Speaker 1: a tie in a similarity there, and we thought this 736 00:34:14,040 --> 00:34:16,320 Speaker 1: was an easy one for us here with your former 737 00:34:16,360 --> 00:34:18,880 Speaker 1: teammate and Trey lansping in this year's draft class. So 738 00:34:18,960 --> 00:34:21,400 Speaker 1: are you you ready to roll? Yeah, let's do it. 739 00:34:21,440 --> 00:34:25,480 Speaker 1: Appreciate you having me. No, it's great to see you again. Man. Uh. 740 00:34:25,520 --> 00:34:27,959 Speaker 1: There's a couple of characteristics that I thought you guys 741 00:34:28,000 --> 00:34:31,480 Speaker 1: sharing and having common and going back to to your evaluation, 742 00:34:31,520 --> 00:34:33,120 Speaker 1: and the first one I want to hit on here 743 00:34:33,200 --> 00:34:35,920 Speaker 1: is just your toughness. Um, something I think that's ingrained 744 00:34:35,920 --> 00:34:37,919 Speaker 1: in every football player up there at North Dakota State. 745 00:34:37,960 --> 00:34:40,239 Speaker 1: But you in particular, and I think it's something that 746 00:34:40,280 --> 00:34:43,920 Speaker 1: Trey has as well. Um, is that a nature or 747 00:34:44,000 --> 00:34:46,279 Speaker 1: nurture thing? Tell me about your your toughness there and 748 00:34:46,480 --> 00:34:48,879 Speaker 1: where it came from? You know, it's probably a little 749 00:34:48,880 --> 00:34:51,279 Speaker 1: bit of both. But I think, like you said, North 750 00:34:51,360 --> 00:34:54,960 Speaker 1: Dakota State, I mean that area of the country, that university, 751 00:34:55,000 --> 00:34:58,960 Speaker 1: those people, Um, that's a that's a huge characteristic of 752 00:34:59,040 --> 00:35:01,960 Speaker 1: everyone that's a part of the program and from that area. 753 00:35:02,000 --> 00:35:04,359 Speaker 1: And so I think the team kind of embodies that. 754 00:35:04,400 --> 00:35:07,600 Speaker 1: And you just kind of learned as you grow through that, um, 755 00:35:07,640 --> 00:35:09,400 Speaker 1: you know what it means and and to play for 756 00:35:09,440 --> 00:35:12,040 Speaker 1: something bigger than yourself and and all that. So I 757 00:35:12,040 --> 00:35:13,840 Speaker 1: think that's a part of it. Um. And then I 758 00:35:13,880 --> 00:35:16,520 Speaker 1: think just to just play in the position, it's something 759 00:35:16,520 --> 00:35:18,799 Speaker 1: you gotta have, Bill, to stand in there and and 760 00:35:18,800 --> 00:35:20,560 Speaker 1: show the other guys that they can trust you and 761 00:35:20,920 --> 00:35:24,000 Speaker 1: rely on you. Is there is there a story or 762 00:35:24,000 --> 00:35:26,520 Speaker 1: a moment or a memory there at all with Trey 763 00:35:26,640 --> 00:35:29,000 Speaker 1: during that early year there with him where you thought, Okay, 764 00:35:29,040 --> 00:35:31,399 Speaker 1: this kid, I don't think this kid's got that He's 765 00:35:31,440 --> 00:35:34,640 Speaker 1: got that toughness. Yeah, No, doubt. I remember him getting 766 00:35:34,640 --> 00:35:37,360 Speaker 1: beat up a little bit um in in fall camp 767 00:35:37,520 --> 00:35:40,600 Speaker 1: and you know, the freshman we're all going live. It 768 00:35:40,680 --> 00:35:44,200 Speaker 1: was essentially our form of preseason, you know, inter squad scrimmage, 769 00:35:44,200 --> 00:35:46,880 Speaker 1: and I remember Trey getting hit pretty good a few times, 770 00:35:47,000 --> 00:35:49,359 Speaker 1: you know, doing the quarterback run game and and all 771 00:35:49,400 --> 00:35:51,920 Speaker 1: that stuff. And as an eighteen year old, you know, freshman, 772 00:35:52,360 --> 00:35:54,319 Speaker 1: it's the first time you're seeing him go through any 773 00:35:54,360 --> 00:35:56,960 Speaker 1: of that stuff. And uh, you knew it was big, strong, fast, 774 00:35:57,000 --> 00:35:59,080 Speaker 1: all that, but until you get hit and and have 775 00:35:59,160 --> 00:36:01,359 Speaker 1: to get up and now the path up there down 776 00:36:01,520 --> 00:36:03,520 Speaker 1: a little bit different. So seeing him do that and 777 00:36:03,560 --> 00:36:06,520 Speaker 1: the scrimmage was impressive. And then shooting got a little 778 00:36:06,560 --> 00:36:08,680 Speaker 1: game action that year with the new redshirt rule and 779 00:36:09,239 --> 00:36:12,160 Speaker 1: was running running around and running through people. Uh so 780 00:36:12,200 --> 00:36:16,239 Speaker 1: it was pretty obvious. Yeah, no no red jersey for 781 00:36:16,239 --> 00:36:18,279 Speaker 1: you guys during scrimmages back in the day. I can 782 00:36:18,320 --> 00:36:21,040 Speaker 1: appreciate that. As as a former quarterback, that's a nightmare. 783 00:36:21,440 --> 00:36:23,680 Speaker 1: All right. How about let's get into arm strength a 784 00:36:23,680 --> 00:36:26,520 Speaker 1: little bit, being able to fitballs and tight windows. I've 785 00:36:26,560 --> 00:36:29,560 Speaker 1: seen that from you, not only going to North Dakota State, 786 00:36:29,600 --> 00:36:32,000 Speaker 1: but having a chance to see you compete there with 787 00:36:32,040 --> 00:36:34,319 Speaker 1: the Chargers doing those games and your opportunities there in 788 00:36:34,320 --> 00:36:38,120 Speaker 1: the preseason. Um, just the importance of that, I know, 789 00:36:38,280 --> 00:36:39,879 Speaker 1: arms strengths, not the be all, end all, but being 790 00:36:39,920 --> 00:36:44,080 Speaker 1: able to fitballs in tight windows. Yeah, definitely. And obviously 791 00:36:44,120 --> 00:36:46,399 Speaker 1: as you as you grow in the game and then 792 00:36:46,640 --> 00:36:49,000 Speaker 1: the coverage becomes better, it's more important. I think, like 793 00:36:49,040 --> 00:36:51,360 Speaker 1: you said, it's something end all, be all, but the 794 00:36:51,400 --> 00:36:55,399 Speaker 1: ability to put stress on a defense knowing that they've 795 00:36:55,400 --> 00:36:58,520 Speaker 1: got to defend, you know, every area of the field. Um. 796 00:36:58,680 --> 00:37:01,120 Speaker 1: And then shoot, defenders are good and they can run, 797 00:37:01,160 --> 00:37:03,800 Speaker 1: and they're smart, and so having a little bit behind 798 00:37:03,840 --> 00:37:06,240 Speaker 1: it to be able to you know, whether it's layering 799 00:37:06,239 --> 00:37:08,479 Speaker 1: and over somebody with with a little bit of juice 800 00:37:08,560 --> 00:37:11,000 Speaker 1: or just throwing it and throwing it through somebody, you 801 00:37:11,040 --> 00:37:14,000 Speaker 1: get something you gotta have. UM. And so definitely a 802 00:37:14,000 --> 00:37:17,480 Speaker 1: great part of trays game for sure. Yeah, no doubt. 803 00:37:17,560 --> 00:37:19,319 Speaker 1: I expanded that a little bit because to me, the 804 00:37:19,360 --> 00:37:21,080 Speaker 1: word we just did this pro day the other day, 805 00:37:21,200 --> 00:37:23,520 Speaker 1: and uh, to be horsepower. I just wrote down, this 806 00:37:23,520 --> 00:37:26,319 Speaker 1: guy can power the football. Um. You get out there 807 00:37:26,320 --> 00:37:28,000 Speaker 1: on the field with him for the first time he's 808 00:37:28,040 --> 00:37:30,960 Speaker 1: a freshman, Um that he opened some eyes there with 809 00:37:31,000 --> 00:37:33,680 Speaker 1: his arm knows out. I remember being around him for 810 00:37:33,719 --> 00:37:36,240 Speaker 1: the first time in the summer, you know, before school 811 00:37:36,239 --> 00:37:39,240 Speaker 1: even starts, and just throwing routes on air and seven 812 00:37:39,280 --> 00:37:41,440 Speaker 1: on seven and stuff, and I'm like, shoot, here, I 813 00:37:41,440 --> 00:37:43,360 Speaker 1: am a fifth year senior. I've played a lot of 814 00:37:43,360 --> 00:37:46,720 Speaker 1: football games, pretty good about it. And here walks Trey Lance, 815 00:37:46,760 --> 00:37:49,960 Speaker 1: you know, six ft four and twenty pounds as a freshman, 816 00:37:50,360 --> 00:37:52,359 Speaker 1: just throwing it all over the place and you hear 817 00:37:52,400 --> 00:37:55,399 Speaker 1: the ball whistling and so uh. Definitely it was fun 818 00:37:55,440 --> 00:37:57,960 Speaker 1: to have him because it was instant competition. You're like, man, 819 00:37:57,960 --> 00:38:00,799 Speaker 1: this guy can can really throw it. Meant everything else 820 00:38:00,840 --> 00:38:03,160 Speaker 1: around it, but watching him spend it that first day, 821 00:38:03,200 --> 00:38:05,200 Speaker 1: you like, shoot, all right, we gotta go now. We 822 00:38:05,280 --> 00:38:07,120 Speaker 1: gotta elevate the game a little bit because this guy 823 00:38:07,120 --> 00:38:11,239 Speaker 1: can really play. I love it. The third thing here, 824 00:38:11,400 --> 00:38:13,480 Speaker 1: and maybe the most important thing with the position we 825 00:38:13,480 --> 00:38:17,920 Speaker 1: can talk about, you know, poise, accuracy, all those things, anticipation, timing, 826 00:38:18,000 --> 00:38:20,719 Speaker 1: arm strength, athleticism. It doesn't matter if you don't make 827 00:38:20,760 --> 00:38:23,440 Speaker 1: good decisions. It's something you did on your way to 828 00:38:23,520 --> 00:38:26,600 Speaker 1: multiple national championships. Shoot, you want four of them there 829 00:38:26,600 --> 00:38:29,200 Speaker 1: when you're at North Dakota State, and that tradition carried 830 00:38:29,239 --> 00:38:31,840 Speaker 1: over here with Trey. Um, just the the importance of 831 00:38:31,880 --> 00:38:34,440 Speaker 1: that aspect of the game there. What would you say 832 00:38:34,440 --> 00:38:37,279 Speaker 1: about that with the decision making? Yeah, I mean the 833 00:38:37,280 --> 00:38:39,360 Speaker 1: biggest thing is you just have to value the football 834 00:38:39,400 --> 00:38:43,160 Speaker 1: and value possessions, and um, you know, if if you're 835 00:38:43,280 --> 00:38:46,640 Speaker 1: if you're giving team short fields and uh, you know, 836 00:38:46,719 --> 00:38:48,319 Speaker 1: it's it's just a lot tougher to win that way. 837 00:38:48,400 --> 00:38:51,440 Speaker 1: And so understanding, um you know the reason why you're 838 00:38:51,480 --> 00:38:53,920 Speaker 1: calling plays when you're calling them, how you're trying to 839 00:38:53,920 --> 00:38:56,000 Speaker 1: attack defenses. I think that's all a part of it. 840 00:38:56,080 --> 00:38:58,640 Speaker 1: Just understanding the game. Um, you know, when it's a 841 00:38:58,640 --> 00:39:00,759 Speaker 1: good idea to too, maybe let's push the envelope a 842 00:39:00,760 --> 00:39:02,759 Speaker 1: little bit here and see if we can fit one 843 00:39:02,760 --> 00:39:04,960 Speaker 1: in and and knowing other times just throw it away 844 00:39:05,280 --> 00:39:07,399 Speaker 1: or you know, get to your check down, fall down, 845 00:39:07,440 --> 00:39:10,200 Speaker 1: whatever you gotta do just to value the value of football. 846 00:39:10,200 --> 00:39:12,839 Speaker 1: And so I think it's all just about understanding the game. 847 00:39:12,920 --> 00:39:15,360 Speaker 1: And I think we are both fortunate to play to 848 00:39:15,400 --> 00:39:17,799 Speaker 1: play place like North to go to state that uh 849 00:39:17,880 --> 00:39:20,680 Speaker 1: that teaches you football, um and and teaches you how 850 00:39:20,680 --> 00:39:22,919 Speaker 1: to value the football and just on how we wanted 851 00:39:22,960 --> 00:39:25,839 Speaker 1: to win games. So we're fortunate to learn where we did. 852 00:39:27,400 --> 00:39:29,600 Speaker 1: Speaking of value, and when it comes to Trey, I 853 00:39:29,680 --> 00:39:32,240 Speaker 1: mean he kept a clean sheet for the entire twenty 854 00:39:32,320 --> 00:39:35,280 Speaker 1: nineteen season. I in my scouting career, I don't remember 855 00:39:35,280 --> 00:39:37,799 Speaker 1: ever calling a quarterback have that that line that he 856 00:39:37,880 --> 00:39:40,479 Speaker 1: had with the big goose egg there. Donut haven't played 857 00:39:40,480 --> 00:39:43,000 Speaker 1: as much football as he has to make it through 858 00:39:43,040 --> 00:39:45,040 Speaker 1: a whole season. I don't care who you're playing against, 859 00:39:45,040 --> 00:39:46,960 Speaker 1: who you're playing with. That's that to me just blows 860 00:39:47,000 --> 00:39:50,000 Speaker 1: my mind. Yeah, I mean it is unbelievable to not 861 00:39:50,080 --> 00:39:51,960 Speaker 1: have a ball that shoot, even the ones that get 862 00:39:51,960 --> 00:39:56,000 Speaker 1: tipped or you know, just something funky goes through somebody's hands. Uh. 863 00:39:56,160 --> 00:39:59,000 Speaker 1: All that so, and I know when you watch it, 864 00:39:59,040 --> 00:40:00,800 Speaker 1: and I got a chance to watch lot of his games, 865 00:40:01,000 --> 00:40:02,759 Speaker 1: um just rooting them on and stuff, and there weren't 866 00:40:02,760 --> 00:40:04,439 Speaker 1: a lot of balls that were even in harm's way. 867 00:40:04,480 --> 00:40:06,840 Speaker 1: And so it's one thing I think to be careful 868 00:40:06,880 --> 00:40:09,160 Speaker 1: with the football. Uh, And there's another thing to value 869 00:40:09,280 --> 00:40:11,359 Speaker 1: and understand. You know, when can we try to fit 870 00:40:11,440 --> 00:40:14,279 Speaker 1: something in there and not necessarily be scared to make 871 00:40:14,280 --> 00:40:16,520 Speaker 1: a mistake? Right, You still gotta play and and and 872 00:40:16,560 --> 00:40:19,239 Speaker 1: make throws, but but value it. And so it wasn't 873 00:40:19,239 --> 00:40:20,960 Speaker 1: like he was out there just you know, throwing a 874 00:40:21,040 --> 00:40:23,239 Speaker 1: two yards checking it down. Every time he was he 875 00:40:23,280 --> 00:40:25,160 Speaker 1: was pushing the ball down the field and trying to 876 00:40:25,200 --> 00:40:27,640 Speaker 1: be explosive. And so I think that just speaks to 877 00:40:27,760 --> 00:40:30,239 Speaker 1: the way he prepared during the week and um, you 878 00:40:30,280 --> 00:40:32,399 Speaker 1: know obviously going out there and executing the plan on 879 00:40:32,400 --> 00:40:36,719 Speaker 1: on Saturdays. In this draft only with trade lance, we 880 00:40:36,800 --> 00:40:38,719 Speaker 1: also have Zack Wilson from b y U. These are 881 00:40:38,719 --> 00:40:41,960 Speaker 1: guys outside the Power five um, and to me, I 882 00:40:41,960 --> 00:40:43,400 Speaker 1: think when you look at some of the success that 883 00:40:43,440 --> 00:40:45,600 Speaker 1: these guys have had at the next level, some of 884 00:40:45,640 --> 00:40:47,840 Speaker 1: it speaks to some of the adversity that maybe you 885 00:40:47,840 --> 00:40:50,960 Speaker 1: wouldn't get if you were at in Alabama or or 886 00:40:51,000 --> 00:40:54,400 Speaker 1: an L s U or some of these other places. Yeah. Absolutely, 887 00:40:54,440 --> 00:40:57,759 Speaker 1: because some of these places that we're playing, the non 888 00:40:57,880 --> 00:41:00,960 Speaker 1: Power five schools, you don't have all the weapons around 889 00:41:01,040 --> 00:41:05,200 Speaker 1: you to necessarily elevate your game, and so as the quarterback, 890 00:41:05,280 --> 00:41:07,680 Speaker 1: you have to do it. We always talk about quarterbacks 891 00:41:07,680 --> 00:41:10,440 Speaker 1: in terms of trucks and trailers. Well, most of the 892 00:41:10,440 --> 00:41:13,000 Speaker 1: guys that are playing the QB one position at a 893 00:41:13,040 --> 00:41:14,960 Speaker 1: non Power five schools, they have to fall into the 894 00:41:14,960 --> 00:41:17,880 Speaker 1: truck category. They're having to pour their team along, and 895 00:41:18,320 --> 00:41:21,799 Speaker 1: their play certainly dictates how well their team is able 896 00:41:21,840 --> 00:41:23,839 Speaker 1: to play and if they're able to win consistently, and 897 00:41:23,880 --> 00:41:26,880 Speaker 1: so that gives them confidence when they go to the 898 00:41:26,920 --> 00:41:29,240 Speaker 1: next level that all the things may not be perfect 899 00:41:29,280 --> 00:41:32,160 Speaker 1: around them, but they're okay because that's the environment that 900 00:41:32,200 --> 00:41:36,080 Speaker 1: they played in for three or four years as collegiance. Now, 901 00:41:36,120 --> 00:41:37,840 Speaker 1: one difference I would say, you know, just looking at 902 00:41:37,920 --> 00:41:40,920 Speaker 1: it is Josh Allen, what he was playing with compared 903 00:41:40,960 --> 00:41:42,719 Speaker 1: to who he was playing against. He was at a 904 00:41:42,800 --> 00:41:45,800 Speaker 1: deficiency there. And even though um, you know Zack Wilson 905 00:41:45,800 --> 00:41:47,560 Speaker 1: at b y U and you look at Trey Lance 906 00:41:47,600 --> 00:41:50,160 Speaker 1: to North Dakota State, they probably had a talent advantage. 907 00:41:50,160 --> 00:41:52,480 Speaker 1: And in every game that they played this last season 908 00:41:52,480 --> 00:41:54,200 Speaker 1: b YU no fault to their own, but just the 909 00:41:54,239 --> 00:41:56,399 Speaker 1: schedule that they were forced to play. But I think 910 00:41:56,400 --> 00:41:58,640 Speaker 1: there is something to the psychology though, Buck If these 911 00:41:58,640 --> 00:42:01,520 Speaker 1: guys weren't five star kids, Um, these guys didn't show 912 00:42:01,600 --> 00:42:04,799 Speaker 1: up on a at a major university competing for national championships. 913 00:42:04,840 --> 00:42:07,759 Speaker 1: These were, you know, three star type kids that had 914 00:42:07,800 --> 00:42:10,560 Speaker 1: to kind of fight their way through to get their opportunity. 915 00:42:10,840 --> 00:42:12,720 Speaker 1: You know, I think there's something too that we always 916 00:42:12,760 --> 00:42:16,000 Speaker 1: talking about adversity and how adversity UH can make you 917 00:42:16,080 --> 00:42:18,680 Speaker 1: a better player if you handle it the right way. 918 00:42:18,920 --> 00:42:21,400 Speaker 1: Some of the adversity that these guys have experienced, maybe 919 00:42:21,560 --> 00:42:24,080 Speaker 1: going through the high school recruiting process and not getting 920 00:42:24,080 --> 00:42:26,320 Speaker 1: the looks of the offers that they may have felt 921 00:42:26,320 --> 00:42:28,600 Speaker 1: like they deserve based on their talent. Maybe going to 922 00:42:28,719 --> 00:42:31,640 Speaker 1: a program that doesn't have everything that some of the 923 00:42:31,640 --> 00:42:34,560 Speaker 1: bigger programs have. It certainly shapes them, but it may 924 00:42:34,600 --> 00:42:37,239 Speaker 1: make them better prepared to handle the responsibility of being 925 00:42:37,239 --> 00:42:40,239 Speaker 1: a QP one at the NFL level. Yeah, I guess 926 00:42:40,239 --> 00:42:42,120 Speaker 1: the last thing I'll wrap it up on this is 927 00:42:42,160 --> 00:42:45,080 Speaker 1: that you know, Josh Allen is a great example. Um, 928 00:42:45,080 --> 00:42:48,000 Speaker 1: he's really turned himself into a great player. But it 929 00:42:48,040 --> 00:42:51,320 Speaker 1: did require some patients from his drafting team. So whoever 930 00:42:51,400 --> 00:42:54,480 Speaker 1: drafts trade lance, even with Zach Wilson, there's gonna be 931 00:42:54,480 --> 00:42:57,319 Speaker 1: an adjustment period here. So don't freak out when everything 932 00:42:57,360 --> 00:42:59,520 Speaker 1: doesn't go great right off the bat. Just be patient, 933 00:42:59,640 --> 00:43:03,440 Speaker 1: believe when the talent it will eventually show through. All Right, 934 00:43:03,480 --> 00:43:05,680 Speaker 1: it's time to play our favorite game here on move 935 00:43:05,760 --> 00:43:08,640 Speaker 1: the sticks. It's called wheel of Prospects. We spend the 936 00:43:08,680 --> 00:43:11,360 Speaker 1: wheel to get a position. Once we have that taken 937 00:43:11,360 --> 00:43:13,800 Speaker 1: care of, now we're gonna spin it to get a team, 938 00:43:13,880 --> 00:43:16,520 Speaker 1: and then we're gonna match a player with those teams 939 00:43:16,560 --> 00:43:18,880 Speaker 1: at that position. All right, let's see what position buck 940 00:43:19,239 --> 00:43:21,479 Speaker 1: that we are on today. Let's give this wheel a spin. 941 00:43:22,000 --> 00:43:24,320 Speaker 1: What do we have here? We are gonna go with 942 00:43:25,120 --> 00:43:27,319 Speaker 1: edge rushers. Okay, here we go. I'm gonna give this 943 00:43:27,360 --> 00:43:30,160 Speaker 1: thing a spin. And we have the Jets as the 944 00:43:30,239 --> 00:43:32,759 Speaker 1: first team up. Uh. Look, they have two first round picks. 945 00:43:32,760 --> 00:43:35,600 Speaker 1: They're gonna take a quarterback, probably Zack Wilson at too. Uh. 946 00:43:35,680 --> 00:43:37,359 Speaker 1: If they don't get one at twenty three, I'm gonna 947 00:43:37,360 --> 00:43:39,839 Speaker 1: go Joe try On at the top of the second round, 948 00:43:39,960 --> 00:43:43,680 Speaker 1: thirty four pick out of the University of Washington. Ideal 949 00:43:43,719 --> 00:43:46,120 Speaker 1: frame coming off the edge, knows how to use his length, 950 00:43:46,160 --> 00:43:49,040 Speaker 1: plays with a big motor. I think Robert Sala would 951 00:43:49,040 --> 00:43:51,560 Speaker 1: appreciate the way he plays the game and give them 952 00:43:51,600 --> 00:43:55,800 Speaker 1: some more pass rush opposite a big free agent investment 953 00:43:55,800 --> 00:43:58,560 Speaker 1: that they made in Carl Lawson. Look, man, he's a 954 00:43:58,560 --> 00:44:00,279 Speaker 1: big time play make. He does a great job of 955 00:44:00,360 --> 00:44:03,640 Speaker 1: playing with effort and energy, plus you add the athletics hells, 956 00:44:03,680 --> 00:44:05,959 Speaker 1: he could be handful at the next level. My turn, 957 00:44:05,960 --> 00:44:07,880 Speaker 1: I could to spend here we go. Let's spend up. 958 00:44:08,520 --> 00:44:09,800 Speaker 1: There we go. Let's spend it here we go. What 959 00:44:09,920 --> 00:44:17,120 Speaker 1: we got m let's see, Oh the A t L 960 00:44:17,239 --> 00:44:19,919 Speaker 1: the Atlanta Falcons. This is a phone one. So let's 961 00:44:19,960 --> 00:44:24,080 Speaker 1: go with Perkins. Let's go Rannie Perkins from Oklahoma. He 962 00:44:24,200 --> 00:44:26,239 Speaker 1: is my pick for them in the second round. And 963 00:44:26,280 --> 00:44:29,600 Speaker 1: here's why I like Ranny Perkins for the Falcons. Up 964 00:44:29,600 --> 00:44:33,200 Speaker 1: tempo player, good first step quickness. When you see him, man, 965 00:44:33,280 --> 00:44:36,719 Speaker 1: he wears people out just with relentless pursuit. And I 966 00:44:36,719 --> 00:44:38,880 Speaker 1: think he's a guy that's going to continue to improve 967 00:44:38,880 --> 00:44:41,359 Speaker 1: as a past us at the next level. He has 968 00:44:41,400 --> 00:44:44,200 Speaker 1: the traits that you're looking for. News about just adding 969 00:44:44,200 --> 00:44:46,480 Speaker 1: the technique, but he has an opportunity to be a 970 00:44:46,520 --> 00:44:49,279 Speaker 1: difference making for the Falcons. All right, I'm gonna get 971 00:44:49,280 --> 00:44:50,680 Speaker 1: another one in here. Let's spend it again here, so 972 00:44:50,719 --> 00:44:54,520 Speaker 1: we get another team. What do we got, oh Giants? 973 00:44:54,560 --> 00:44:58,080 Speaker 1: Here we go eleventh overall. Pick uh, Let's go QUITTI 974 00:44:58,120 --> 00:45:00,359 Speaker 1: pay here from Michigan. Somebody who I thought was moved 975 00:45:00,360 --> 00:45:02,600 Speaker 1: around a little too much for the Wolverines. When you 976 00:45:02,640 --> 00:45:05,000 Speaker 1: park him on the perimeter. He's got that speed, the 977 00:45:05,040 --> 00:45:07,879 Speaker 1: power ultra twitched up. We saw that from his pro day. 978 00:45:08,239 --> 00:45:10,439 Speaker 1: I think he would be a great fit right there. 979 00:45:10,440 --> 00:45:12,080 Speaker 1: For the Giants. You want to try and get one more? Here, 980 00:45:12,120 --> 00:45:14,120 Speaker 1: quick one, black, quick one. Here we go. Let's get 981 00:45:14,120 --> 00:45:15,600 Speaker 1: a quick span. Let's get a spin. Let's get a span. 982 00:45:15,680 --> 00:45:19,960 Speaker 1: Let's go. Let'll go. Are you gotta get low Minnesota bikings? 983 00:45:20,000 --> 00:45:22,320 Speaker 1: This is easy. Mike Zimmer wants the guy to polish. 984 00:45:22,360 --> 00:45:25,680 Speaker 1: How about Jalen Phillis from Miami. This is a polished 985 00:45:25,680 --> 00:45:29,560 Speaker 1: technician with outstanding athleticism.
