34
00:01:57,600 --> 00:02:00,680
Speaker 1: in in the Hoosier State. Back home again, Indiana. So

35
00:02:01,240 --> 00:02:03,280
Speaker 1: let a stretch, dude. Well, you know, I'm just I'm

36
00:02:03,280 --> 00:02:07,520
Speaker 1: glad that the Combine will look somewhat normal this year

37
00:02:07,600 --> 00:02:10,280
Speaker 1: and we get back to that. Is this the last

38
00:02:10,360 --> 00:02:15,440
Speaker 1: year in Indie? Don't know? You know, I know, teams,

39
00:02:15,600 --> 00:02:19,680
Speaker 1: teams really like it there for people that for people

40
00:02:19,720 --> 00:02:21,440
Speaker 1: that don't know, like the most important thing at the

41
00:02:21,440 --> 00:02:24,120
Speaker 1: combine is medical, and I guess just the way the

42
00:02:24,160 --> 00:02:27,400
Speaker 1: medical is set up, the hospital, the proximity to the hotels,

43
00:02:28,240 --> 00:02:30,160
Speaker 1: how easy it is for them to get what they

44
00:02:30,200 --> 00:02:33,079
Speaker 1: need while they're there, the fact that it's centrally located

45
00:02:33,120 --> 00:02:36,600
Speaker 1: for all these teams, because not every team gets to

46
00:02:36,919 --> 00:02:40,000
Speaker 1: do the medical check they pick. I think it might

47
00:02:40,000 --> 00:02:42,360
Speaker 1: be six teams. I don't know the exact number, but

48
00:02:42,520 --> 00:02:45,639
Speaker 1: they do X number of medical staffs and then they

49
00:02:45,680 --> 00:02:48,920
Speaker 1: each perform like their independent exam and you know, in

50
00:02:48,960 --> 00:02:51,160
Speaker 1: the hopes that they catch anything that maybe another staff

51
00:02:51,240 --> 00:02:53,520
Speaker 1: might miss, and then they share all that information with

52
00:02:53,639 --> 00:02:57,040
Speaker 1: all of the teams. So it's so much speculation about

53
00:02:57,040 --> 00:02:59,359
Speaker 1: bringing it out to LA and the NFL facility out here,

54
00:03:00,280 --> 00:03:02,360
Speaker 1: but I think that I just think there'll be some

55
00:03:02,360 --> 00:03:05,800
Speaker 1: pushback on that because LA is the least centralized city

56
00:03:05,840 --> 00:03:08,320
Speaker 1: of any major metropolis in the nation. So I'm I

57
00:03:08,360 --> 00:03:11,079
Speaker 1: think they'd be a little concerned about doing doing it here.

58
00:03:11,560 --> 00:03:14,520
Speaker 1: And look, it ain't broke, you know, it's worked for

59
00:03:14,600 --> 00:03:17,400
Speaker 1: years in Indianapolis. They couldn't be a more perfect city

60
00:03:17,440 --> 00:03:20,800
Speaker 1: for it. All the hotels, the convention center, everything's walking distance,

61
00:03:21,160 --> 00:03:23,320
Speaker 1: even if it's cold, and you got your staples man,

62
00:03:23,400 --> 00:03:25,560
Speaker 1: you got your your saying Almos and you're Kilroys and

63
00:03:25,720 --> 00:03:28,320
Speaker 1: and all these spots that everyone hangs out as moos

64
00:03:28,560 --> 00:03:30,760
Speaker 1: Rat Skeller. Yeah, I like to go a little I

65
00:03:30,880 --> 00:03:33,880
Speaker 1: like to operate on the periphery. You know, if everybody's

66
00:03:34,000 --> 00:03:36,880
Speaker 1: operating there in Almos and Kilroys right there, I get

67
00:03:36,880 --> 00:03:40,360
Speaker 1: outside a little bit um and he's gonna zig when

68
00:03:40,360 --> 00:03:42,840
Speaker 1: everybody else is zagging. So what I like to do.

69
00:03:43,160 --> 00:03:45,920
Speaker 1: That's the way I operate. Hey, let's give people kind

70
00:03:45,960 --> 00:03:48,680
Speaker 1: of a peek behind the curtain. And indian obviously, you

71
00:03:48,720 --> 00:03:51,480
Speaker 1: know you talk about the medical I think medical number one,

72
00:03:51,560 --> 00:03:54,080
Speaker 1: probably the interviews number two. And you know, these guys

73
00:03:54,120 --> 00:03:55,720
Speaker 1: are gonna have their pro days, so they're gonna do

74
00:03:55,760 --> 00:03:57,160
Speaker 1: a lot of the same things. Some guys may not

75
00:03:57,240 --> 00:04:01,160
Speaker 1: do everything in Indianapolis because of their pro days. But

76
00:04:01,360 --> 00:04:04,600
Speaker 1: this really is the leaping off point for the twenty

77
00:04:04,640 --> 00:04:07,640
Speaker 1: twenty two season, where a couple of weeks from free agency,

78
00:04:07,720 --> 00:04:11,000
Speaker 1: this is where people start talking and figuring out how

79
00:04:11,040 --> 00:04:13,520
Speaker 1: they're going to shape their team for the upcoming season.

80
00:04:14,280 --> 00:04:17,479
Speaker 1: There's a lot there's a lot of business that happens

81
00:04:17,600 --> 00:04:20,680
Speaker 1: at the combine. There's there's coaches that were fired, you know,

82
00:04:20,839 --> 00:04:23,400
Speaker 1: because they're nine guys that got you know, the guy

83
00:04:23,480 --> 00:04:25,680
Speaker 1: let go. So there's assistant coaches that are out of

84
00:04:25,760 --> 00:04:29,000
Speaker 1: jobs that are maybe looking to play even a more

85
00:04:29,200 --> 00:04:31,960
Speaker 1: support role than you know, like a linebacker coach or

86
00:04:31,960 --> 00:04:33,720
Speaker 1: a dB coach or a tight end coach or trying

87
00:04:33,720 --> 00:04:36,760
Speaker 1: to just kind of catch on. So there's those opportunities

88
00:04:36,760 --> 00:04:38,400
Speaker 1: out there and maybe bringing in a new set of

89
00:04:38,400 --> 00:04:41,000
Speaker 1: eyes to a team that that you just hit it

90
00:04:41,040 --> 00:04:43,200
Speaker 1: off with someone while you're in in d So there's

91
00:04:43,240 --> 00:04:46,160
Speaker 1: that happening on the coaching front. There's a lot of

92
00:04:46,160 --> 00:04:49,320
Speaker 1: trading of information with people, just kind of checks and

93
00:04:49,400 --> 00:04:53,000
Speaker 1: balances m where scouts are maybe see and I think

94
00:04:53,080 --> 00:04:55,160
Speaker 1: you mentioned it, it's back to normalcy. So a lot

95
00:04:55,160 --> 00:04:58,360
Speaker 1: of these scouts were able to make it out to games,

96
00:04:58,480 --> 00:05:00,800
Speaker 1: to make it on campus, to get in and dive

97
00:05:00,839 --> 00:05:04,359
Speaker 1: into some tape with with coaches at these universities, but

98
00:05:04,400 --> 00:05:06,160
Speaker 1: not everybody, you know, we don't know kind of how

99
00:05:06,200 --> 00:05:09,120
Speaker 1: everyone and every you know, franchise was operating. So a

100
00:05:09,160 --> 00:05:11,160
Speaker 1: lot of times for trading information with guys just kind

101
00:05:11,160 --> 00:05:13,240
Speaker 1: of making sure your eyes are seeing maybe what they saw,

102
00:05:13,400 --> 00:05:15,680
Speaker 1: get another read on a player. That you're not quite

103
00:05:15,680 --> 00:05:18,240
Speaker 1: sure of. And then you know, for whatever reason, I

104
00:05:18,240 --> 00:05:20,839
Speaker 1: think with the lawsuit that was threatened with the combine,

105
00:05:21,040 --> 00:05:23,320
Speaker 1: there was a lot of uh, you know, you know,

106
00:05:23,360 --> 00:05:25,480
Speaker 1: my favorite thing is Twitter, not not like more met

107
00:05:25,800 --> 00:05:27,960
Speaker 1: a lot of Twitter experts pushing back about how the

108
00:05:27,960 --> 00:05:31,480
Speaker 1: combine is worthless and that's just stupid. If it was worthless,

109
00:05:31,480 --> 00:05:33,960
Speaker 1: they wouldn't do it. They wouldn't spend the thousands of

110
00:05:34,000 --> 00:05:37,480
Speaker 1: dollars each tens of thousands of dollars each franchise is

111
00:05:37,520 --> 00:05:41,120
Speaker 1: spending to bring their guys out here to watch, and

112
00:05:41,160 --> 00:05:45,800
Speaker 1: it's it's obviously worthwhile. There is there is, you know,

113
00:05:46,360 --> 00:05:49,400
Speaker 1: there's merit to what they're doing on the field. You know,

114
00:05:49,640 --> 00:05:53,880
Speaker 1: there are measurables, there are numbers, there are benchmarks that

115
00:05:54,080 --> 00:05:57,400
Speaker 1: teams simply have that. If you're not a corner that

116
00:05:57,520 --> 00:05:59,920
Speaker 1: measures at this. If you don't have an arm land

117
00:06:00,120 --> 00:06:03,240
Speaker 1: that's at this. If you don't punch a number in

118
00:06:03,279 --> 00:06:06,480
Speaker 1: the three comb that's this, you're off our board. And

119
00:06:06,560 --> 00:06:09,800
Speaker 1: all of that stuff is gathering. You know, I don't

120
00:06:09,800 --> 00:06:11,200
Speaker 1: want to say the name of the coach. People can

121
00:06:11,200 --> 00:06:13,760
Speaker 1: figure it out for themselves. But I heard a coach

122
00:06:13,839 --> 00:06:17,200
Speaker 1: that was coming to the league through his interview process

123
00:06:17,200 --> 00:06:20,480
Speaker 1: with a couple of teams, basically told the front office

124
00:06:20,520 --> 00:06:23,080
Speaker 1: that they're what do we need you for? I can

125
00:06:23,160 --> 00:06:26,000
Speaker 1: have all my coaches scout during the season, you know,

126
00:06:26,040 --> 00:06:29,359
Speaker 1: I don't, I don't, and no you can't. He says, no,

127
00:06:29,480 --> 00:06:32,080
Speaker 1: you can't the NFL season, and I think he learned

128
00:06:32,279 --> 00:06:35,280
Speaker 1: a very harsh lesson about why you can't do that,

129
00:06:35,320 --> 00:06:36,760
Speaker 1: and a lot of things that he didn't know about

130
00:06:36,800 --> 00:06:39,680
Speaker 1: the league that he thought he knew. But so a

131
00:06:39,720 --> 00:06:42,719
Speaker 1: lot of coaches and a lot of you know, people

132
00:06:42,720 --> 00:06:45,000
Speaker 1: are getting their eyes on these prospects for the first time.

133
00:06:45,480 --> 00:06:47,840
Speaker 1: This is their introduction, and what better way to do

134
00:06:47,920 --> 00:06:51,560
Speaker 1: that than to see them competing against other players at

135
00:06:51,640 --> 00:06:54,359
Speaker 1: their position where you can have all You're not going

136
00:06:54,440 --> 00:06:59,360
Speaker 1: to have a corner from Washington, LSU, Cincinnati on the

137
00:06:59,400 --> 00:07:01,880
Speaker 1: field at the same time doing the same trills within

138
00:07:02,040 --> 00:07:04,360
Speaker 1: minutes of one another, so you can see it in

139
00:07:04,400 --> 00:07:07,680
Speaker 1: front of you and start to make those, you know,

140
00:07:07,800 --> 00:07:11,520
Speaker 1: those evaluations. It's there's so much value in the combine

141
00:07:11,520 --> 00:07:14,480
Speaker 1: for these teams. The idea that it's not valuable and

142
00:07:14,520 --> 00:07:17,320
Speaker 1: we could do away with it, it's just crazy. What's

143
00:07:17,360 --> 00:07:20,520
Speaker 1: interesting about that is that so many dudes are working

144
00:07:20,520 --> 00:07:25,040
Speaker 1: out actually in southern California, literally just preparing for the combine.

145
00:07:25,040 --> 00:07:26,520
Speaker 1: I'll give you an example. A couple of years ago,

146
00:07:27,040 --> 00:07:29,320
Speaker 1: I did a piece on basically the prep that goes

147
00:07:29,360 --> 00:07:32,480
Speaker 1: into that day of running the forty and doing the

148
00:07:32,480 --> 00:07:35,640
Speaker 1: three cone. And you know, you have Justin Herbert and

149
00:07:35,760 --> 00:07:39,760
Speaker 1: Jordan Love and Isaiah Simmons and aj Dillon all on

150
00:07:39,800 --> 00:07:43,280
Speaker 1: the field together getting ready for this upcoming week. So

151
00:07:43,720 --> 00:07:46,720
Speaker 1: if people tell you that this week doesn't matter, they

152
00:07:46,720 --> 00:07:48,880
Speaker 1: don't know what they're talking about, because this is a

153
00:07:49,000 --> 00:07:51,600
Speaker 1: huge process and it's not just the on field. It

154
00:07:51,680 --> 00:07:54,760
Speaker 1: is the interviews and these guys go over what questions

155
00:07:54,800 --> 00:07:58,240
Speaker 1: may be asked, and that's the part we don't see

156
00:07:58,280 --> 00:08:01,520
Speaker 1: that's not televised. But I'll tell you what, that's such

157
00:08:01,520 --> 00:08:06,320
Speaker 1: a big piece to this puzzle because executives, coaches, scouts.

158
00:08:06,400 --> 00:08:08,360
Speaker 1: Scouts may have more of a relationship with some of

159
00:08:08,400 --> 00:08:12,160
Speaker 1: these guys than coaches in executives at this point, but

160
00:08:12,560 --> 00:08:16,600
Speaker 1: this is their their first impression for a prospect, getting

161
00:08:16,600 --> 00:08:18,360
Speaker 1: to know them. If you didn't if you didn't play

162
00:08:18,400 --> 00:08:19,880
Speaker 1: in the Senior Bowl, or you didn't get to interview

163
00:08:19,880 --> 00:08:21,840
Speaker 1: at the Senior Bowl or some of these other Bowl games.

164
00:08:22,200 --> 00:08:24,560
Speaker 1: This is a huge kind of leaping off point for

165
00:08:24,680 --> 00:08:29,920
Speaker 1: a prospect to introduce themselves to all thirty two NFL teams,

166
00:08:29,960 --> 00:08:33,200
Speaker 1: both on the field and in the classroom. Yeah, and

167
00:08:33,520 --> 00:08:35,920
Speaker 1: you know, I think there's so many there's so many

168
00:08:35,920 --> 00:08:39,520
Speaker 1: different avenues that players take to get to the NFL.

169
00:08:40,200 --> 00:08:42,440
Speaker 1: I think a perfect example is I'll just give you

170
00:08:42,440 --> 00:08:46,920
Speaker 1: two two all pros perennial all pros, Toront Armstead, Khalil Mack.

171
00:08:47,400 --> 00:08:51,840
Speaker 1: Toront Armstead dominates at Arkansas Pine Bluff, and when you

172
00:08:51,880 --> 00:08:54,640
Speaker 1: watch the tape, you're like, Okay, this is great. He's

173
00:08:54,720 --> 00:08:58,000
Speaker 1: dominating at Arkansas Pine Bluff. But what's the level of competition?

174
00:08:58,080 --> 00:08:59,880
Speaker 1: What happens when you know, if you were in the SEC,

175
00:09:00,040 --> 00:09:01,400
Speaker 1: what with Toron arms said looked like well, then he

176
00:09:01,440 --> 00:09:03,920
Speaker 1: goes to the Senior Bowl and it's like, okay, Toron

177
00:09:04,040 --> 00:09:06,240
Speaker 1: Armstead's now playing well. And then he shows up at

178
00:09:06,240 --> 00:09:07,880
Speaker 1: the Combine and the guy runs like a four to

179
00:09:08,000 --> 00:09:12,200
Speaker 1: five nine forty and okay, fine, we're good. Now all

180
00:09:12,240 --> 00:09:15,000
Speaker 1: of my boxes are checked. I'm not worried about to

181
00:09:15,120 --> 00:09:18,240
Speaker 1: Ron Armstead playing his college career at Arkansas plinebo. Same

182
00:09:18,280 --> 00:09:22,640
Speaker 1: with Khalil Mack buffalo, Are we sure? I mean Genevian

183
00:09:22,720 --> 00:09:24,760
Speaker 1: clowney and then Khalil Mack goes out there and puts

184
00:09:24,760 --> 00:09:28,200
Speaker 1: on a freaky show, I mean a laser show through

185
00:09:28,240 --> 00:09:31,679
Speaker 1: the drills, just bend and movement and explosion, and that

186
00:09:31,720 --> 00:09:36,360
Speaker 1: was that. Everyone's like, all right, boxes checked, here we go. Um. Look.

187
00:09:36,360 --> 00:09:40,520
Speaker 1: I think for Herbert, the combine I thought was huge

188
00:09:40,600 --> 00:09:43,320
Speaker 1: for Justin Herbert, who the process was huge for him.

189
00:09:44,800 --> 00:09:47,720
Speaker 1: So Senior Bowl, there were still a few questions coming

190
00:09:47,720 --> 00:09:49,240
Speaker 1: out of Senior Bowl. You know, the Rose Bowl. He

191
00:09:49,280 --> 00:09:52,240
Speaker 1: wins the Rose Bowl, but he ends up using his

192
00:09:52,320 --> 00:09:54,600
Speaker 1: legs a lot. You know, it's it's not really a

193
00:09:54,600 --> 00:09:56,800
Speaker 1: whole lot of working through it because that's what Cristal

194
00:09:56,840 --> 00:09:59,480
Speaker 1: Ball preached and coached, and clearly he had a horrible

195
00:09:59,480 --> 00:10:02,200
Speaker 1: approach for Justin Herbert. But you know, it was kind

196
00:10:02,240 --> 00:10:03,640
Speaker 1: of like, if it's not there and you're not one

197
00:10:03,720 --> 00:10:05,720
Speaker 1: hundred percent sure, takeoff and run. So there were still

198
00:10:05,720 --> 00:10:08,040
Speaker 1: some questions about Herbert coming out of the Rose Bowl.

199
00:10:08,280 --> 00:10:11,960
Speaker 1: Then he gets the Senior Bowl and it still felt like, Okay,

200
00:10:12,000 --> 00:10:14,840
Speaker 1: he looks the part, you know, and but there was

201
00:10:14,880 --> 00:10:17,440
Speaker 1: still work to be done. I think there were still

202
00:10:17,440 --> 00:10:20,199
Speaker 1: people that felt like he was aiming his throws and

203
00:10:20,440 --> 00:10:22,360
Speaker 1: he was a little too you know, there's there wasn't

204
00:10:22,400 --> 00:10:25,240
Speaker 1: that cut it loose moment, And that happened at the

205
00:10:25,280 --> 00:10:28,599
Speaker 1: combine he got I was standing on the field. I

206
00:10:28,760 --> 00:10:31,080
Speaker 1: watched it happen. I saw it in front of me.

207
00:10:32,040 --> 00:10:33,800
Speaker 1: I watched a coach, you know, one of the guys

208
00:10:33,840 --> 00:10:36,400
Speaker 1: that was running the drills, having this conversation with Herbert

209
00:10:36,640 --> 00:10:39,400
Speaker 1: and man, when he cut it loose, you could hear

210
00:10:39,480 --> 00:10:43,200
Speaker 1: the gasps and the oh my god, this is this

211
00:10:43,240 --> 00:10:44,760
Speaker 1: is different. You see the ball come out of his

212
00:10:44,800 --> 00:10:47,120
Speaker 1: hand and Mike, and that happened. I mean that happened.

213
00:10:47,440 --> 00:10:49,080
Speaker 1: I'm not saying that he wouldn't have been picked sixth

214
00:10:49,120 --> 00:10:52,760
Speaker 1: overall by the Chargers, but like something happened that day

215
00:10:52,880 --> 00:10:56,520
Speaker 1: on that field in Indianapolis where you saw it. You

216
00:10:56,520 --> 00:10:59,720
Speaker 1: saw him throwing with other big arm quarterbacks and it

217
00:10:59,880 --> 00:11:03,000
Speaker 1: was close. His arm strength was just like, all right,

218
00:11:03,040 --> 00:11:06,800
Speaker 1: this dude is different. And I think it's solidified. And look,

219
00:11:06,800 --> 00:11:08,520
Speaker 1: there were still people that came out of that combine

220
00:11:08,559 --> 00:11:10,800
Speaker 1: saying still not buying it, you know, but but I

221
00:11:10,800 --> 00:11:12,840
Speaker 1: think there were enough people that were like, no, no no, no,

222
00:11:12,920 --> 00:11:16,719
Speaker 1: that's that's different. That's different level stuff, and we're more

223
00:11:16,760 --> 00:11:18,559
Speaker 1: than happy to get our hands on him if he's

224
00:11:18,640 --> 00:11:22,400
Speaker 1: terriblely pick and Justin did everything from the Senior Bowl

225
00:11:22,640 --> 00:11:25,959
Speaker 1: all the way through the process Pro day. He threw,

226
00:11:26,320 --> 00:11:28,120
Speaker 1: you know, and I don't I don't fall guys from

227
00:11:28,120 --> 00:11:29,840
Speaker 1: maybe not wanted to throw or not wanted to run

228
00:11:29,960 --> 00:11:31,560
Speaker 1: if you're gonna do it at your pro day. But

229
00:11:32,400 --> 00:11:36,120
Speaker 1: he wasn't scared of doing that and really checking every box,

230
00:11:36,160 --> 00:11:40,800
Speaker 1: and it really was to his benefit. I remember Tom

231
00:11:41,120 --> 00:11:44,760
Speaker 1: after they drafted Justin saying that he was the number

232
00:11:44,800 --> 00:11:46,400
Speaker 1: one player on their board the year before, but he

233
00:11:46,440 --> 00:11:49,960
Speaker 1: didn't come out right. So it was that, you know,

234
00:11:50,280 --> 00:11:53,600
Speaker 1: I think that year where it wasn't exactly what he

235
00:11:53,640 --> 00:11:55,880
Speaker 1: did the year before, so it almost like he had

236
00:11:55,920 --> 00:11:59,400
Speaker 1: to like prove himself all over again to everybody. And

237
00:11:59,480 --> 00:12:02,599
Speaker 1: he did that, and he kind of put the exclamation

238
00:12:02,640 --> 00:12:06,640
Speaker 1: point to your point at the combine. Um, yeah, I'll

239
00:12:06,640 --> 00:12:08,040
Speaker 1: give you one more real quick. I'll give you one

240
00:12:08,040 --> 00:12:10,600
Speaker 1: more real quick. This is this is my favorite combine story.

241
00:12:10,600 --> 00:12:13,080
Speaker 1: You know, I've been doing this for ten eleven years now,

242
00:12:13,080 --> 00:12:16,720
Speaker 1: I think maybe even more, I don't know, but we

243
00:12:16,880 --> 00:12:20,680
Speaker 1: used to be up before the combine really became an event.

244
00:12:21,400 --> 00:12:25,520
Speaker 1: We used to broadcast every single minute of every single

245
00:12:25,600 --> 00:12:28,960
Speaker 1: drill on NFL dot Com. It was just a live stream,

246
00:12:29,360 --> 00:12:32,480
Speaker 1: and I mean we would have at times over a

247
00:12:32,520 --> 00:12:35,400
Speaker 1: million viewers around the world that would just sit and

248
00:12:35,440 --> 00:12:38,440
Speaker 1: watch us. And we interviewed everybody, and we were set

249
00:12:38,520 --> 00:12:40,120
Speaker 1: up right at the finish line of the forty. It

250
00:12:40,160 --> 00:12:42,920
Speaker 1: was me and Bucky DJ was on there. One year,

251
00:12:43,600 --> 00:12:47,360
Speaker 1: Lance Zerline was on there. We would have guests come on.

252
00:12:48,760 --> 00:12:54,600
Speaker 1: But I'll never forget the Andrew Luck RG three quarterback Draft.

253
00:12:55,160 --> 00:12:56,840
Speaker 1: So we're out there in the middle of the field

254
00:12:57,200 --> 00:13:01,640
Speaker 1: and Russell Wilson comes over to do his interview with us,

255
00:13:02,160 --> 00:13:05,680
Speaker 1: and no one's gonna throw. No, It's like it's it's

256
00:13:05,720 --> 00:13:07,760
Speaker 1: this huge, like are you kidding me? We've got all

257
00:13:07,800 --> 00:13:12,360
Speaker 1: these great quarterbacks and nobody's gonna throw. And Russell Wilson

258
00:13:12,360 --> 00:13:14,800
Speaker 1: comes over and we interview him, and it's to this day,

259
00:13:14,840 --> 00:13:16,880
Speaker 1: the best interview I've ever done with a college athlete

260
00:13:16,880 --> 00:13:19,560
Speaker 1: in my life. It just it blew my doors off

261
00:13:19,760 --> 00:13:23,520
Speaker 1: how good he was. Just there was something, there was

262
00:13:23,559 --> 00:13:25,680
Speaker 1: a presence about him, and I remember him walking away

263
00:13:25,679 --> 00:13:27,319
Speaker 1: and both Bucky and I go and do that kids

264
00:13:27,440 --> 00:13:31,520
Speaker 1: that's different that kids at that special level leadership engagement.

265
00:13:32,040 --> 00:13:34,160
Speaker 1: Right there, you could just feel it. And he said,

266
00:13:34,240 --> 00:13:36,200
Speaker 1: I'm throwing because I don't care if I'm the only

267
00:13:36,240 --> 00:13:39,240
Speaker 1: one that throws, but I ain't here to not throw.

268
00:13:39,400 --> 00:13:41,520
Speaker 1: And he had to. You know, the guy's clocking in

269
00:13:41,559 --> 00:13:44,080
Speaker 1: at five to eleven. You know, he's not Andrew Lucker

270
00:13:44,200 --> 00:13:47,559
Speaker 1: RG three. He had to throw. So Russell Wilson goes

271
00:13:47,559 --> 00:13:50,640
Speaker 1: out there and he starts going through the drills and man,

272
00:13:50,800 --> 00:13:53,920
Speaker 1: for people that don't know, I'm assuming most people listening

273
00:13:53,880 --> 00:13:57,000
Speaker 1: to do, Russell Wilson has a freaking host. He's got

274
00:13:57,160 --> 00:14:02,079
Speaker 1: giant hands, and he has got incredible strength. So he

275
00:14:02,120 --> 00:14:05,120
Speaker 1: gets out there and starts spinning it. I mean it

276
00:14:05,280 --> 00:14:09,920
Speaker 1: is zipping all. Next thing, you know, Brandon Whedon, I'm

277
00:14:09,920 --> 00:14:12,720
Speaker 1: gonna throw Brock Brock oswel you know what I'm gonna

278
00:14:12,720 --> 00:14:16,080
Speaker 1: throw and it becomes this competition. And to me that

279
00:14:16,240 --> 00:14:20,320
Speaker 1: became that was I think that was an indicator. I

280
00:14:20,360 --> 00:14:23,680
Speaker 1: think that story started traveling around circles like Okay, we

281
00:14:23,840 --> 00:14:26,320
Speaker 1: got you know, here's a guy that not only as

282
00:14:26,320 --> 00:14:29,600
Speaker 1: a competitor, but has this sort of leadership quality. That

283
00:14:29,680 --> 00:14:32,240
Speaker 1: led to guys whose agents said hey, you're not throwing today,

284
00:14:32,280 --> 00:14:35,320
Speaker 1: being like not A he's throwing, I'm following his lead.

285
00:14:35,360 --> 00:14:37,280
Speaker 1: I'm throwing too. And it was this really cool moment

286
00:14:37,280 --> 00:14:39,400
Speaker 1: where now all of a sudden, every quarterbacks out there

287
00:14:39,400 --> 00:14:43,720
Speaker 1: throwing because one guy opted to do it. Twenty twelve,

288
00:14:44,280 --> 00:14:46,600
Speaker 1: we all knew it was gonna be Luck in RG

289
00:14:46,800 --> 00:14:49,360
Speaker 1: three one two, So you know, if they're not going

290
00:14:49,440 --> 00:14:53,080
Speaker 1: to throw, that's fine. But it's similar to Herbert and

291
00:14:53,080 --> 00:14:55,760
Speaker 1: there like, hey, I'm not afraid. I'm a competitor. I'm

292
00:14:55,800 --> 00:14:58,360
Speaker 1: gonna do everything you ask me to do. And you

293
00:14:58,440 --> 00:15:02,040
Speaker 1: look back, what ten years later, Russ is an All

294
00:15:02,080 --> 00:15:04,880
Speaker 1: Pro player. Kirk Cousins I believe was drafted in the

295
00:15:04,880 --> 00:15:07,600
Speaker 1: third or fourth round that year. Fourth round you had

296
00:15:07,800 --> 00:15:13,280
Speaker 1: Nick Foles, I mentioned Oswiler, Weedon Andrew Luck RG three. Yeah,

297
00:15:13,280 --> 00:15:14,920
Speaker 1: I mean it was a it was a stacked There

298
00:15:14,920 --> 00:15:17,160
Speaker 1: were just a tonic. Was that Christian Ponder too? I

299
00:15:17,200 --> 00:15:20,160
Speaker 1: think maybe, um, I don't remember she was that year.

300
00:15:20,240 --> 00:15:24,320
Speaker 1: There might not have been Ponder was a first round

301
00:15:24,360 --> 00:15:27,120
Speaker 1: I think Ponder in EJ. Manuel was that the same year?

302
00:15:27,280 --> 00:15:30,400
Speaker 1: Those guys both Yes, that's exactly right, that's exactly right.

303
00:15:30,440 --> 00:15:32,520
Speaker 1: So let's see here we go. It was Andrew luck

304
00:15:33,800 --> 00:15:38,800
Speaker 1: Griffin who went number two. I'm scrolling through it here,

305
00:15:39,080 --> 00:15:42,720
Speaker 1: where are you? Here we go Tannehill. That's right. Tannehill

306
00:15:42,760 --> 00:15:45,000
Speaker 1: had a screw in his foot so he couldn't do anything.

307
00:15:45,640 --> 00:15:49,000
Speaker 1: But yeah, so Whedon threw Oswiler through Wilson through Kirk Cousins.

308
00:15:49,000 --> 00:15:52,400
Speaker 1: You mentioned Um was the other one, and then, uh,

309
00:15:53,360 --> 00:15:56,880
Speaker 1: I think I want to say that, yes, Um, I

310
00:15:56,920 --> 00:16:00,240
Speaker 1: think Ryan Lindley is now a coach um if I

311
00:16:00,240 --> 00:16:01,800
Speaker 1: remember right, But he was out there too, and he's

312
00:16:01,840 --> 00:16:03,880
Speaker 1: a he was and I think he was one of

313
00:16:03,880 --> 00:16:06,160
Speaker 1: those other guys. It was like, all right, I'm throwing anyway,

314
00:16:06,400 --> 00:16:08,080
Speaker 1: there we go. It's a great story and it's a

315
00:16:08,080 --> 00:16:11,640
Speaker 1: good segue into you know, we talked about the new

316
00:16:12,120 --> 00:16:15,840
Speaker 1: league year starting and every year. Unfortunately the Chargers don't

317
00:16:15,880 --> 00:16:18,080
Speaker 1: have to worry about the quarterback position. But I'm gonna

318
00:16:18,160 --> 00:16:22,200
Speaker 1: rip off some names here, Aaron Rodgers, Matt Ryan Russell, Wilson,

319
00:16:22,400 --> 00:16:26,840
Speaker 1: DeShawn Watson, Jimmy Garoppolo, Carson Wentz. I threw Kyler Murray

320
00:16:26,880 --> 00:16:28,600
Speaker 1: in even though I don't think he's gonna go anywhere.

321
00:16:29,760 --> 00:16:33,720
Speaker 1: But they all have questions, and I think where these

322
00:16:33,760 --> 00:16:37,440
Speaker 1: guys end up going will kind of set the course

323
00:16:37,600 --> 00:16:40,680
Speaker 1: for the twenty twenty two season. We already know Josh

324
00:16:40,720 --> 00:16:43,880
Speaker 1: Allen and Patrick Mahomes and Joe Burrow and Lamar Jackson

325
00:16:43,880 --> 00:16:48,080
Speaker 1: are in the AFC. Is Aaron Rodgers gonna join the AFC?

326
00:16:48,360 --> 00:16:51,240
Speaker 1: Is Russell Wilson? Is Deshaun Watson gonna leave and go

327
00:16:51,280 --> 00:16:54,200
Speaker 1: to the NFC? Carson Wentz? What are the Colts gonna

328
00:16:54,240 --> 00:16:57,320
Speaker 1: do at quarterback money? These are the conversations that are

329
00:16:57,320 --> 00:17:00,800
Speaker 1: probably being had right now and in Indie next week.

330
00:17:01,160 --> 00:17:04,040
Speaker 1: Is we kind of get into free agency? Yeah, And

331
00:17:04,840 --> 00:17:07,399
Speaker 1: you know, it's just it's so hard for me to

332
00:17:07,520 --> 00:17:11,240
Speaker 1: envision those guys moving, just because we all know how

333
00:17:11,280 --> 00:17:13,560
Speaker 1: hard it is to find a quarterback, you know, if

334
00:17:13,560 --> 00:17:16,840
Speaker 1: you're the Seahawks, or you're the Cardinals or you're the

335
00:17:16,880 --> 00:17:20,439
Speaker 1: Packer's like, there's just no rhyme or reason to letting

336
00:17:20,520 --> 00:17:25,760
Speaker 1: go of the hardest individual position to find in all

337
00:17:25,800 --> 00:17:29,920
Speaker 1: of sports. It's just, you know, that's why I can't

338
00:17:30,040 --> 00:17:32,960
Speaker 1: envision it happening. You know, if Aaron Rodgers, you know,

339
00:17:33,000 --> 00:17:35,160
Speaker 1: it's like, nah, I'm done, and you're like, no, you're not.

340
00:17:35,280 --> 00:17:38,679
Speaker 1: Here's fifty million dollars a year he's going to stay.

341
00:17:39,040 --> 00:17:42,560
Speaker 1: You know that. It's it's I think what people forget about.

342
00:17:43,359 --> 00:17:46,560
Speaker 1: You know, the world of professional sports is how short

343
00:17:46,600 --> 00:17:49,280
Speaker 1: your career is. Imagine being told your career is over

344
00:17:49,320 --> 00:17:52,520
Speaker 1: at thirty eight. You know your your profession of choice,

345
00:17:52,600 --> 00:17:56,399
Speaker 1: you have, you have about a five percent chance of

346
00:17:56,440 --> 00:17:59,160
Speaker 1: making it past thirty five. You got about a one

347
00:17:59,240 --> 00:18:01,600
Speaker 1: percent chance of making it past thirty eight. So you've

348
00:18:01,640 --> 00:18:04,120
Speaker 1: got to make all your money you possibly can in

349
00:18:04,119 --> 00:18:08,040
Speaker 1: that tight window, which means every single sent matters. And

350
00:18:08,160 --> 00:18:11,240
Speaker 1: these teams just aren't going to move guys because they

351
00:18:11,280 --> 00:18:13,760
Speaker 1: don't want to pay them. It's been proven that it's

352
00:18:13,760 --> 00:18:15,960
Speaker 1: worth it. You know that there have been so few

353
00:18:16,040 --> 00:18:19,640
Speaker 1: quarterback contracts where people are like, oh, that was a mistake.

354
00:18:19,760 --> 00:18:22,439
Speaker 1: I mean, the only time it comes into play is

355
00:18:22,880 --> 00:18:27,280
Speaker 1: extenuating circumstances, right, injuries that were unforeseen. You know, Carson

356
00:18:27,320 --> 00:18:29,560
Speaker 1: Wentz was playing at at an MVP level before he

357
00:18:29,560 --> 00:18:32,240
Speaker 1: broke his leg, and then it just became this weird

358
00:18:32,359 --> 00:18:35,359
Speaker 1: mess last year with the COVID stuff. And so when

359
00:18:35,400 --> 00:18:37,320
Speaker 1: you take all that stuff out, for the most part,

360
00:18:37,640 --> 00:18:41,000
Speaker 1: guys that get paid perform. So that's why it's hard

361
00:18:41,000 --> 00:18:42,520
Speaker 1: for me to see now at the same time, I'm

362
00:18:42,520 --> 00:18:43,920
Speaker 1: gonna say that out of this side of my mouth

363
00:18:43,920 --> 00:18:45,320
Speaker 1: and out of this side of my mouth, I say

364
00:18:45,600 --> 00:18:48,199
Speaker 1: Broncos are going to have a different quarterback. You know,

365
00:18:48,480 --> 00:18:52,080
Speaker 1: the Commanders are going to have a different quarterback, Like

366
00:18:52,119 --> 00:18:55,119
Speaker 1: there are teams that are gonna have different quarterbacks. I

367
00:18:55,240 --> 00:18:58,480
Speaker 1: just don't know if it's the group of players that

368
00:18:58,560 --> 00:19:02,919
Speaker 1: are competing for those spots that you think they're gonna be.

369
00:19:04,200 --> 00:19:05,800
Speaker 1: I know that this is getting some run, and I've

370
00:19:05,800 --> 00:19:08,640
Speaker 1: heard this midway through the season last year. I heard

371
00:19:08,640 --> 00:19:13,679
Speaker 1: that Mitch Drubisky was looking great in Buffalo, that what

372
00:19:13,800 --> 00:19:18,000
Speaker 1: Daveo was doing with him, that they were really really impressed.

373
00:19:18,040 --> 00:19:20,560
Speaker 1: I will not be the least bit surprised if that

374
00:19:20,640 --> 00:19:23,600
Speaker 1: guy ends up in New York and his fighting Daniel

375
00:19:23,680 --> 00:19:26,760
Speaker 1: Jones for that job. I won't be surprised if that

376
00:19:26,800 --> 00:19:30,040
Speaker 1: word leaked out and you see him in Carolina, or

377
00:19:30,119 --> 00:19:34,160
Speaker 1: you see him in Washington or even Denver. I think

378
00:19:34,200 --> 00:19:36,280
Speaker 1: he's going to end up as a starting quarterback this

379
00:19:36,400 --> 00:19:38,480
Speaker 1: coming season. So it may not be the Russell Wilsons

380
00:19:38,480 --> 00:19:40,919
Speaker 1: and Aaron Rodgers that you're talking about. It might be

381
00:19:41,000 --> 00:19:44,399
Speaker 1: another level of players. James Winston, Mitchell Trubisky that you

382
00:19:44,400 --> 00:19:47,119
Speaker 1: start to see find their ways to new teams. Trubisky

383
00:19:47,200 --> 00:19:49,600
Speaker 1: is very interesting because he went to the playoffs twice

384
00:19:50,040 --> 00:19:53,479
Speaker 1: in Chicago, and I think everybody just thinks of just

385
00:19:53,640 --> 00:19:56,439
Speaker 1: you think negativity. I don't know, maybe because of the

386
00:19:56,560 --> 00:19:59,840
Speaker 1: relationship him and Watson. Yeah, yeah, exactly the lines of

387
00:20:00,000 --> 00:20:04,160
Speaker 1: Watson narrative one hundred percent one percent. So I interested

388
00:20:04,200 --> 00:20:07,000
Speaker 1: to see especially it's weird to say commanders, but the commanders,

389
00:20:07,119 --> 00:20:08,439
Speaker 1: like what are they gonna do? Are they are they

390
00:20:08,440 --> 00:20:11,560
Speaker 1: gonna go for a guy and swing for a Russell

391
00:20:11,600 --> 00:20:14,320
Speaker 1: Wilson who's from for Jayla and and go all in

392
00:20:14,760 --> 00:20:17,159
Speaker 1: or are they going to have to hit that second

393
00:20:17,200 --> 00:20:21,320
Speaker 1: and third tier market with Jamis and Trubisky. The Carson

394
00:20:21,359 --> 00:20:24,040
Speaker 1: Wentz stuff is really interesting to be because I think

395
00:20:24,080 --> 00:20:26,520
Speaker 1: Chris Barinson reported that they're gonna trade or release them.

396
00:20:26,800 --> 00:20:30,320
Speaker 1: So what's your plan B in Indianapolis when you have

397
00:20:30,359 --> 00:20:33,600
Speaker 1: a pretty good roster all around the quarterback? I mean

398
00:20:34,200 --> 00:20:37,440
Speaker 1: you do you go in house with Ellinger or or

399
00:20:37,760 --> 00:20:42,400
Speaker 1: or Easton or what's what's the backup plan? In India? Really?

400
00:20:42,400 --> 00:20:45,120
Speaker 1: Your plan A if you plan on moving away from Wentz?

401
00:20:45,440 --> 00:20:46,960
Speaker 1: I mean, look, what was Jacob Eason. Was he a

402
00:20:47,000 --> 00:20:49,480
Speaker 1: second rounder, third rounder? I mean that's a it was

403
00:20:49,520 --> 00:20:52,680
Speaker 1: a mid round pick. You know, he was definitely a

404
00:20:52,840 --> 00:20:54,320
Speaker 1: He was not a Hey, this is going to be

405
00:20:54,359 --> 00:20:57,320
Speaker 1: a backup pick. It was a draft and developed pick.

406
00:20:57,960 --> 00:20:59,720
Speaker 1: So you know, Frank Rych is supposed to be a

407
00:20:59,760 --> 00:21:03,240
Speaker 1: quarter coach. I would imagine that might be land A

408
00:21:03,960 --> 00:21:05,840
Speaker 1: whether or not it's a great plant. Look, sometimes it

409
00:21:05,880 --> 00:21:08,159
Speaker 1: doesn't work out that way for the Steelers. It's not

410
00:21:08,200 --> 00:21:10,360
Speaker 1: gonna be Mason Rudolph. I don't care what they say.

411
00:21:10,400 --> 00:21:12,800
Speaker 1: They've already seen enough to know that guy's a backup.

412
00:21:12,960 --> 00:21:16,119
Speaker 1: You know, he is not a starter. So there's another one. Um,

413
00:21:16,640 --> 00:21:20,040
Speaker 1: you know we're gonna see We're probably gonna see four

414
00:21:20,160 --> 00:21:23,359
Speaker 1: quarterbacks go in the first round. Whether or not you

415
00:21:23,359 --> 00:21:25,920
Speaker 1: think it's a good quarterback class or not, I think,

416
00:21:26,400 --> 00:21:28,280
Speaker 1: you know, I think for sure you're gonna see Pickett

417
00:21:28,920 --> 00:21:30,960
Speaker 1: at Corral and Malik Willis go in the first round,

418
00:21:31,000 --> 00:21:32,920
Speaker 1: and you might see Sam Howe and you might see

419
00:21:32,920 --> 00:21:36,199
Speaker 1: Desmond Ritter go at the back end. So you know,

420
00:21:36,320 --> 00:21:39,000
Speaker 1: you could be you're talking about four spots. I don't

421
00:21:39,040 --> 00:21:42,199
Speaker 1: think they're talking about three spots. Those three guys are

422
00:21:42,200 --> 00:21:44,640
Speaker 1: going to go in the first round. Um Picket's gonna

423
00:21:44,680 --> 00:21:47,120
Speaker 1: go first, and then either Willis or Corral are gonna

424
00:21:47,119 --> 00:21:50,800
Speaker 1: go next, and then maybe Sam Howe creeps in there

425
00:21:50,800 --> 00:21:54,879
Speaker 1: as well if somebody really likes him. So that's that,

426
00:21:54,960 --> 00:21:56,399
Speaker 1: to me, is going to happen. So there's four of

427
00:21:56,400 --> 00:21:59,120
Speaker 1: your spots right there where you then have your Bridge quarterback,

428
00:21:59,160 --> 00:22:01,080
Speaker 1: you know, you know whomever. It may be, a Teddy Bridgewater,

429
00:22:01,119 --> 00:22:04,359
Speaker 1: case Keenum, those sort of things. The biggest thing I

430
00:22:04,400 --> 00:22:06,000
Speaker 1: think for Chargers fans is to keep an eye on

431
00:22:06,080 --> 00:22:09,280
Speaker 1: Denver because you're right, there's gonna be a new quarterback there.

432
00:22:09,480 --> 00:22:11,240
Speaker 1: We don't know who it's gonna be, but there will

433
00:22:11,280 --> 00:22:14,600
Speaker 1: be a new QB one in Denver for sure. All Right, guys,

443
00:22:46,920 --> 00:22:50,040
Speaker 1: to DJ's mock draft, and I know these are fun exercises.

444
00:22:50,040 --> 00:22:53,119
Speaker 1: He's gonna have a bunch of them. But it was

445
00:22:53,160 --> 00:23:00,080
Speaker 1: interesting Number seventeen Chargers Chris Alava and I think about, Okay,

446
00:23:00,440 --> 00:23:03,880
Speaker 1: let's say you bring Mike Williams back, you have Keenan Allen,

447
00:23:03,920 --> 00:23:07,320
Speaker 1: you have Joshua Palmer, and you still draft Chris Lave.

448
00:23:07,600 --> 00:23:10,639
Speaker 1: Just the weapons on the outside for Justice Herbert. It

449
00:23:10,640 --> 00:23:12,560
Speaker 1: would be fun to envision money. I don't know how

450
00:23:12,760 --> 00:23:15,320
Speaker 1: how you would get the ball to everybody, but nonetheless

451
00:23:15,560 --> 00:23:17,439
Speaker 1: could be interesting to see those poor dudes on the

452
00:23:17,440 --> 00:23:20,679
Speaker 1: field together. I think, to me, that's a that's a

453
00:23:20,720 --> 00:23:23,639
Speaker 1: pick where Mike Williams isn't back with the Chargers. You know,

454
00:23:23,800 --> 00:23:27,159
Speaker 1: josh Palmer takes over for Mike. Keenan's there, and you

455
00:23:27,520 --> 00:23:29,480
Speaker 1: get a Lave and that just he's gonna run in

456
00:23:29,560 --> 00:23:32,720
Speaker 1: the high four twos, low four threes. So and then

457
00:23:32,720 --> 00:23:35,919
Speaker 1: you get that speed element, right. Um, So, that to

458
00:23:35,960 --> 00:23:40,119
Speaker 1: me is what that projection is. Um. Look, Tom and

459
00:23:40,600 --> 00:23:43,560
Speaker 1: his team have always been best player available. If they

460
00:23:43,600 --> 00:23:46,560
Speaker 1: think he's the best player on the board, that's you know,

461
00:23:46,600 --> 00:23:49,359
Speaker 1: that's what they're gonna do. And Look, I've heard him

462
00:23:49,400 --> 00:23:52,000
Speaker 1: say it. You're not drafting for twenty twenty two. You're

463
00:23:52,080 --> 00:23:54,320
Speaker 1: drafting a player to be a Charger for the next

464
00:23:54,359 --> 00:23:57,399
Speaker 1: ten years. You know, it's it's not about plugging in

465
00:23:57,520 --> 00:24:00,359
Speaker 1: needs at that moment because you know knows and that

466
00:24:00,400 --> 00:24:01,880
Speaker 1: player doesn't turn out to be great. He's not gonna

467
00:24:01,880 --> 00:24:03,960
Speaker 1: be around in four years. So what does it matter?

468
00:24:04,560 --> 00:24:06,680
Speaker 1: Um that he filled a hole if you don't think

469
00:24:06,760 --> 00:24:11,200
Speaker 1: he's as good as someone else. Um, I look, a

470
00:24:11,280 --> 00:24:14,040
Speaker 1: lot of it's great there. You know. There, there's Drake

471
00:24:14,119 --> 00:24:18,800
Speaker 1: London's great there, it's a really deep class. Garrett Wilson,

472
00:24:18,920 --> 00:24:21,560
Speaker 1: Jamison Williams could be there with the you know, because

473
00:24:21,560 --> 00:24:23,639
Speaker 1: of the injury that he I'm sure he would have

474
00:24:23,640 --> 00:24:26,199
Speaker 1: been a top ten pick if it weren't for the injury.

475
00:24:26,280 --> 00:24:30,480
Speaker 1: So there's you know, it's it's interesting and it's fun.

476
00:24:31,040 --> 00:24:33,919
Speaker 1: You know, one thing just not to not to you know,

477
00:24:34,080 --> 00:24:36,480
Speaker 1: kind of pull the curtain back on people taking these

478
00:24:36,520 --> 00:24:39,440
Speaker 1: things seriously. Certainly DJ wants you to consume his mock draft,

479
00:24:39,520 --> 00:24:42,119
Speaker 1: but he's got to do like four these things, yea

480
00:24:42,200 --> 00:24:46,840
Speaker 1: for five of them, so entertainment purposes only. Let's yeah,

481
00:24:46,880 --> 00:24:49,760
Speaker 1: you know, now there are I think there are some

482
00:24:50,720 --> 00:24:52,919
Speaker 1: like there's some things on there that I think you

483
00:24:52,960 --> 00:24:56,440
Speaker 1: can read into, you know, Like to me, I see

484
00:24:56,440 --> 00:24:58,920
Speaker 1: the Giants and he's got Trevon Walker going there at

485
00:24:58,920 --> 00:25:02,240
Speaker 1: five and the Giants fan are freaking out, and it's like, well,

486
00:25:02,640 --> 00:25:05,399
Speaker 1: you know, know your personnel, and by personnel, I mean

487
00:25:05,440 --> 00:25:07,800
Speaker 1: the people that are making the picks and what their

488
00:25:07,880 --> 00:25:11,360
Speaker 1: paths has shown you as a guide to, you know,

489
00:25:11,600 --> 00:25:14,240
Speaker 1: what they value. You know, when when you look at

490
00:25:14,280 --> 00:25:17,320
Speaker 1: the Giant, what has Buffalo done Every year they draft

491
00:25:17,400 --> 00:25:21,119
Speaker 1: D lineman, They've drafted a ton of D linemen to

492
00:25:21,320 --> 00:25:24,480
Speaker 1: load up that front and that's how that that franchise

493
00:25:24,600 --> 00:25:27,359
Speaker 1: was built. Well, now they're guys there they need help

494
00:25:27,440 --> 00:25:30,399
Speaker 1: up front, and so that's like, I think there's certain

495
00:25:30,440 --> 00:25:33,280
Speaker 1: things that that do hold. Carolina needs an old lineman

496
00:25:33,800 --> 00:25:38,359
Speaker 1: desperately that their old line is a disaster. So you know,

497
00:25:38,400 --> 00:25:40,600
Speaker 1: I think there's things that are in there like that

498
00:25:40,600 --> 00:25:44,040
Speaker 1: that do have value and could end up sticking. So

499
00:25:44,119 --> 00:25:46,680
Speaker 1: I'm with you too. I know you you're drafting for

500
00:25:46,720 --> 00:25:50,960
Speaker 1: the next decade, but I think this year's Chargers team

501
00:25:51,040 --> 00:25:54,880
Speaker 1: is also drafting to get to a Bowl ACEP and

502
00:25:55,240 --> 00:25:59,560
Speaker 1: if Chris Elava can produce Jamar Chase numbers or Justin

503
00:25:59,640 --> 00:26:02,919
Speaker 1: Jeff numbers in his rookie season like those dudes, and

504
00:26:02,960 --> 00:26:05,520
Speaker 1: you put him alongside Keenan Allen. Let's say Mike Williams

505
00:26:05,520 --> 00:26:08,320
Speaker 1: isn't there, or shoot even if he is there, I

506
00:26:08,359 --> 00:26:11,600
Speaker 1: mean those like Jamar Chase was the difference and then

507
00:26:11,640 --> 00:26:13,640
Speaker 1: getting to a super Bowl this year, so like you can,

508
00:26:13,760 --> 00:26:17,159
Speaker 1: you can find a difference making playmaker. Um and you

509
00:26:17,240 --> 00:26:20,480
Speaker 1: pair him with with Justin Herbert. Again, We're gonna be

510
00:26:20,600 --> 00:26:23,240
Speaker 1: talking about a bunch of different scenarios over the next

511
00:26:23,280 --> 00:26:25,200
Speaker 1: couple of months. But I just thought it's fun because

512
00:26:25,200 --> 00:26:27,640
Speaker 1: he's he's also I think a San Diego kid, and

513
00:26:27,920 --> 00:26:31,240
Speaker 1: he had twenty seven hundred yards U school record thirty

514
00:26:31,240 --> 00:26:34,080
Speaker 1: five touchdowns. Alex Farkas is not going to talk. He's

515
00:26:34,240 --> 00:26:37,240
Speaker 1: he's an Ohio state guy, and I know he's listening

516
00:26:37,280 --> 00:26:39,840
Speaker 1: to this right now. If he wants to jump in

517
00:26:39,960 --> 00:26:43,679
Speaker 1: and give me his take on these two Ohio statewide receivers,

518
00:26:43,720 --> 00:26:45,920
Speaker 1: if he didn't go away from his computer, I'm happy

519
00:26:45,960 --> 00:26:48,240
Speaker 1: to hear it, Alex. So I'll give you a couple

520
00:26:48,280 --> 00:26:50,080
Speaker 1: of seconds if you want to jump in, but if not,

521
00:26:50,320 --> 00:26:52,760
Speaker 1: no worries. But I do think Chris all there's only

522
00:26:52,760 --> 00:26:55,800
Speaker 1: one way to get him into this conversation. Chris actually there,

523
00:26:56,320 --> 00:27:02,680
Speaker 1: I might say, oh, I owe all right, Alex, Alex

524
00:27:02,760 --> 00:27:05,800
Speaker 1: there he is. We hear your voice, Chris Olave to

525
00:27:05,920 --> 00:27:09,920
Speaker 1: the Chargers. Why would it make sense, Well, you can

526
00:27:09,920 --> 00:27:12,720
Speaker 1: take either Chris or Garrett Wilson. I mean, both dudes

527
00:27:12,760 --> 00:27:15,840
Speaker 1: are absolute studs. I mean, Chris has been a tenured

528
00:27:15,840 --> 00:27:17,960
Speaker 1: guy at a house State, played all four years there,

529
00:27:17,960 --> 00:27:21,880
Speaker 1: and Garrett was really just very talented. The man's got

530
00:27:21,920 --> 00:27:25,399
Speaker 1: sticky hands. If you look at that Clemson game, and

531
00:27:25,800 --> 00:27:29,719
Speaker 1: I believe twenty nineteen the fiestable yeah yeah, look at

532
00:27:29,760 --> 00:27:32,879
Speaker 1: that catch on the sideline in the first quarter. Really

533
00:27:32,880 --> 00:27:35,439
Speaker 1: really talented. And Chris is just so smooth. I mean,

534
00:27:35,480 --> 00:27:38,040
Speaker 1: if you listen to any of the calls that Gus

535
00:27:38,119 --> 00:27:40,399
Speaker 1: Johnson or Joe Klatt were on, they just say he

536
00:27:40,560 --> 00:27:42,960
Speaker 1: is smooth like Butter. I mean, I kid you not,

537
00:27:43,160 --> 00:27:48,320
Speaker 1: that man is silky smooth. He is a very talented

538
00:27:48,359 --> 00:27:51,600
Speaker 1: guy California kid like you guys said, and just gets it.

539
00:27:51,800 --> 00:27:55,280
Speaker 1: And he's really talented on and off the field. I

540
00:27:55,520 --> 00:27:58,080
Speaker 1: trying to remember, I'm trying to remember what Pro day

541
00:27:58,119 --> 00:28:02,840
Speaker 1: it was, who we were watching? Why why we were

542
00:28:02,840 --> 00:28:09,400
Speaker 1: watching Ohio State? Was it? Yes, exactly, Alex, That's exactly

543
00:28:09,480 --> 00:28:13,520
Speaker 1: what it was. And uh and I remember like going, man,

544
00:28:13,640 --> 00:28:16,399
Speaker 1: heck with this freaking a love is what I'm watching?

545
00:28:16,680 --> 00:28:20,600
Speaker 1: Like he put on a show in the pro day. Well,

546
00:28:20,760 --> 00:28:23,119
Speaker 1: when when Christmas a freshman started? One more thing, when

547
00:28:23,160 --> 00:28:24,960
Speaker 1: Christmas a freshman? Thinking up right, it was when he

548
00:28:25,000 --> 00:28:27,240
Speaker 1: was a freshman, Alex, what pro day was that? Why

549
00:28:27,320 --> 00:28:30,680
Speaker 1: was it such a big deal? Dwayne Haskins. Probably that's

550
00:28:30,720 --> 00:28:33,359
Speaker 1: exactly what it was. That's exactly what it was. It

551
00:28:33,480 --> 00:28:37,359
Speaker 1: was the Dwayne Haskins pro Day. Alves a freshman, and

552
00:28:37,400 --> 00:28:41,280
Speaker 1: I can remember everybody that was there saying, dude, we

553
00:28:41,320 --> 00:28:43,520
Speaker 1: can't talk about this guy. We can't even look in

554
00:28:43,600 --> 00:28:47,640
Speaker 1: his direction, but Olave is a freak. Yeah. Well, when

555
00:28:47,680 --> 00:28:50,280
Speaker 1: he was a freshman, everyone's kind of got their mentor,

556
00:28:50,360 --> 00:28:52,960
Speaker 1: like they get an upperclassman. And you know who his

557
00:28:53,000 --> 00:28:56,560
Speaker 1: mentor was. It was Terry Much. Yeah, there you go. So,

558
00:28:57,000 --> 00:28:59,040
Speaker 1: I mean, you've seen what Terry's done in the league,

559
00:28:59,640 --> 00:29:01,520
Speaker 1: and that's how he was at Ohiose States. So he's

560
00:29:01,560 --> 00:29:04,440
Speaker 1: kind of taking that leadership and applied it there. So

561
00:29:04,640 --> 00:29:06,960
Speaker 1: that is exactly what it was they were there. Dwayne

562
00:29:07,000 --> 00:29:10,120
Speaker 1: Haskins did not have a good Pro day alved and

563
00:29:10,240 --> 00:29:13,520
Speaker 1: he was a freshman Alex. Last thing Herbert to a

564
00:29:13,600 --> 00:29:16,840
Speaker 1: Lave would do you think do you think Alave would

565
00:29:16,880 --> 00:29:20,040
Speaker 1: have Jamar Chase type impact on a team next year

566
00:29:20,280 --> 00:29:22,719
Speaker 1: or do you think he's a tear kind of below

567
00:29:23,040 --> 00:29:26,360
Speaker 1: Jamar Chase and Jefferson. Absolutely, you get any of those guys.

568
00:29:26,360 --> 00:29:30,400
Speaker 1: I mean, shoot, Jamison william Jameson Williams was a Ohio

569
00:29:30,480 --> 00:29:33,240
Speaker 1: State guy and then he transferred, so that wide receiver

570
00:29:33,360 --> 00:29:37,000
Speaker 1: room is deep. They either one of those three would

571
00:29:37,040 --> 00:29:38,840
Speaker 1: be solid. So the one the one thing I would

572
00:29:38,880 --> 00:29:44,560
Speaker 1: say about Jamar and look, Jamar is a Jamar is

573
00:29:44,600 --> 00:29:47,000
Speaker 1: a freak. Like he's just if you looked at his

574
00:29:47,080 --> 00:29:51,000
Speaker 1: lower body, the way he's built, he's like I think

575
00:29:51,000 --> 00:29:53,720
Speaker 1: if you were to talk to djum or to some

576
00:29:53,800 --> 00:29:57,880
Speaker 1: of these guys that are mcshay's and Bucky and that

577
00:29:58,080 --> 00:30:01,720
Speaker 1: they would probably I think take any of the top

578
00:30:01,800 --> 00:30:04,680
Speaker 1: three last year over any of the receivers in this draft.

579
00:30:04,760 --> 00:30:07,600
Speaker 1: Chase to me as in a category to himself that

580
00:30:07,760 --> 00:30:10,000
Speaker 1: nobody's close to that money. Do you remember when he

581
00:30:10,000 --> 00:30:12,480
Speaker 1: had all those drops in preseason? People are freaking out.

582
00:30:12,840 --> 00:30:15,160
Speaker 1: I'll talk about the rotation of the ball and it's like, dude,

583
00:30:15,360 --> 00:30:17,280
Speaker 1: I've seen too much of this guy and him just

584
00:30:17,440 --> 00:30:20,640
Speaker 1: wreck the sec But then I think I think teams

585
00:30:20,640 --> 00:30:23,000
Speaker 1: would probably even take Waddle or DeVante Smith the head

586
00:30:23,040 --> 00:30:25,360
Speaker 1: of any of the receivers in this In this group,

587
00:30:25,360 --> 00:30:28,720
Speaker 1: I think people forget just how it's well. You can't

588
00:30:28,760 --> 00:30:30,520
Speaker 1: forget the guy won the darn Heisman. He was so

589
00:30:30,640 --> 00:30:34,040
Speaker 1: dominated at Alabama. And I think Waddle, you know, you're

590
00:30:34,120 --> 00:30:36,720
Speaker 1: just starting to see Waddle because he's just coming back

591
00:30:36,760 --> 00:30:39,400
Speaker 1: from that injury, but you started to see it toward

592
00:30:39,440 --> 00:30:41,640
Speaker 1: the end of the year, just the explosion and the

593
00:30:41,760 --> 00:30:45,120
Speaker 1: strength that Waddle has as well. So like to me,

594
00:30:45,280 --> 00:30:49,480
Speaker 1: that's you know, a loves He's fast. You know, he's

595
00:30:49,480 --> 00:30:53,160
Speaker 1: plenty big. He's big enough, you know, but I don't

596
00:30:53,200 --> 00:30:56,480
Speaker 1: think he's quite that Jamar Chase two hundred and five,

597
00:30:56,560 --> 00:31:02,000
Speaker 1: two hundred ten pounds, ragdial defensive backstyle um of receiver.

598
00:31:02,080 --> 00:31:04,440
Speaker 1: And you know that's the thing, right, Like what people

599
00:31:04,440 --> 00:31:08,200
Speaker 1: forget is wide receivers. They're all so different. You know,

600
00:31:08,320 --> 00:31:11,200
Speaker 1: Drake London, who's who might be the first receiver taken

601
00:31:11,200 --> 00:31:14,120
Speaker 1: in this draft. He's a giant. I mean he is

602
00:31:14,160 --> 00:31:17,360
Speaker 1: a massive human being, which is this huge catch radius

603
00:31:17,360 --> 00:31:20,520
Speaker 1: fifty fifty balls, red zone target. Um. You know you

604
00:31:20,520 --> 00:31:23,800
Speaker 1: mentioned Garrett Wilson. He's this explosive athlete, a lobbas a

605
00:31:23,960 --> 00:31:28,520
Speaker 1: super smooth um route runner. So like each receiver has

606
00:31:28,640 --> 00:31:31,640
Speaker 1: sort of something different that they're that they're offering UM,

607
00:31:31,720 --> 00:31:34,280
Speaker 1: And that's what made Chase so special is he was

608
00:31:34,320 --> 00:31:38,760
Speaker 1: the whole package. Justin Herbert deep threat would be a

609
00:31:38,760 --> 00:31:40,720
Speaker 1: lot of like, you know, we saw t Billy and

610
00:31:40,840 --> 00:31:45,640
Speaker 1: we've seen Jalen guyton Um get loose, but having Justin

611
00:31:45,720 --> 00:31:49,800
Speaker 1: aired out to a guy like alive could be awesome,

612
00:31:50,000 --> 00:31:52,760
Speaker 1: Like the greatest show on turf. Here it's so Fi Stadium,

613
00:31:52,840 --> 00:31:55,320
Speaker 1: all right, Hey, a few a few other notes from

614
00:31:55,480 --> 00:31:58,080
Speaker 1: DJ's mock. Just guys, we've talked about money. I know

615
00:31:58,280 --> 00:32:01,920
Speaker 1: Hi and Trent McDuffie. He's number twelve to the Vikings.

616
00:32:02,320 --> 00:32:04,440
Speaker 1: George carlaftis, we don't know what's gonna happen with a Chenna,

617
00:32:04,560 --> 00:32:08,640
Speaker 1: number thirteen to Cleveland, Derek Stingley to Baltimore at fourteen.

618
00:32:09,320 --> 00:32:12,840
Speaker 1: DeVante Wyatt, the other guy from Georgia. DJ says he

619
00:32:12,880 --> 00:32:15,120
Speaker 1: was a force at the Senior Bull at sixteen, and

620
00:32:15,160 --> 00:32:18,240
Speaker 1: then Devin Lloyd surprisingly number twenty one to New England.

621
00:32:18,280 --> 00:32:19,920
Speaker 1: These are all guys that we kind of talked about

622
00:32:20,000 --> 00:32:22,840
Speaker 1: in that range at number seventeen. Yeah, and you know,

623
00:32:22,880 --> 00:32:24,520
Speaker 1: in the case of Lloyd thinking he wasn't gonna make

624
00:32:24,560 --> 00:32:25,720
Speaker 1: it out of the top ten, and he might not.

625
00:32:26,280 --> 00:32:28,200
Speaker 1: You know, it's like I said, DJ's got to do

626
00:32:28,240 --> 00:32:30,960
Speaker 1: five or six of these, so you're gonna have to

627
00:32:31,000 --> 00:32:33,080
Speaker 1: have some movement just to keep it fresh. Have some

628
00:32:33,120 --> 00:32:34,800
Speaker 1: new names pop in at the back end of that

629
00:32:34,920 --> 00:32:36,800
Speaker 1: draft that you know that weren't there before. He's got

630
00:32:36,880 --> 00:32:39,720
Speaker 1: Jordan Davis all the way down at thirty two, you know,

631
00:32:39,720 --> 00:32:43,800
Speaker 1: and we were talking about him at seventeen. Now. Also,

632
00:32:43,960 --> 00:32:46,960
Speaker 1: there's a lot more tape watching. No, it's hard to

633
00:32:46,960 --> 00:32:49,520
Speaker 1: watch five hundred prospects and get through the tape and

634
00:32:49,520 --> 00:32:51,280
Speaker 1: get through as much as you really need to. So

635
00:32:51,320 --> 00:32:53,400
Speaker 1: maybe you just scratch the surface. You get a game

636
00:32:53,480 --> 00:32:55,560
Speaker 1: or two in there, and then as you start to

637
00:32:55,680 --> 00:32:58,000
Speaker 1: hone your board, you know, DJ's got to do the

638
00:32:58,000 --> 00:33:00,240
Speaker 1: top fifty, he's gotta Bucky's got to do us top

639
00:33:00,280 --> 00:33:02,239
Speaker 1: five by position, and you've got to put together your

640
00:33:02,280 --> 00:33:05,280
Speaker 1: mock drafts. You start to watch more and more tape

641
00:33:06,280 --> 00:33:08,920
Speaker 1: and that then kind of gives you a better evaluation.

642
00:33:09,440 --> 00:33:11,480
Speaker 1: Um Like, but it's it's funny how it works. Like,

643
00:33:11,480 --> 00:33:13,240
Speaker 1: you know, I'm doing the show with Bucky and Lance,

644
00:33:13,280 --> 00:33:16,680
Speaker 1: and like Bucky has Charles Cross's number one offensive lineman.

645
00:33:17,040 --> 00:33:18,760
Speaker 1: You know, DJ I think's got him at number five.

646
00:33:18,880 --> 00:33:23,360
Speaker 1: So it's it's funny how these evaluations work out, you know.

647
00:33:23,480 --> 00:33:26,800
Speaker 1: I like when the Giants drafted Andrew Thomas, people that

648
00:33:26,840 --> 00:33:28,800
Speaker 1: I have been talking to, they did not have him

649
00:33:28,800 --> 00:33:30,920
Speaker 1: as their best ranked tackle. They had had him behind

650
00:33:31,000 --> 00:33:35,840
Speaker 1: Jedrick Wills, behind Tristan Worse, behind McKay Beckton, but he

651
00:33:35,960 --> 00:33:37,800
Speaker 1: was number one on the Giants board. Now he's starting

652
00:33:37,800 --> 00:33:39,200
Speaker 1: to come around. He had a rough first go, but

653
00:33:39,200 --> 00:33:41,600
Speaker 1: he had a much better year last year, so you know,

654
00:33:41,640 --> 00:33:43,560
Speaker 1: that may end up panning out as being the best tackle.

655
00:33:43,600 --> 00:33:46,200
Speaker 1: Who knows. So it's just important to remember that, you know,

656
00:33:46,440 --> 00:33:49,080
Speaker 1: for people that are looking at mock drafts and and

657
00:33:49,560 --> 00:33:52,360
Speaker 1: you know, top fifty overalls and stuff, that may not

658
00:33:52,440 --> 00:33:55,560
Speaker 1: be what the Chargers have. You know, their board. Everybody's

659
00:33:55,640 --> 00:33:59,360
Speaker 1: board is different. Um it's you know, and some kind

660
00:33:59,400 --> 00:34:03,480
Speaker 1: of need more than overall talents. So don't get too

661
00:34:03,480 --> 00:34:06,760
Speaker 1: caught up. If the Chargers draft someone that was all

662
00:34:06,800 --> 00:34:09,720
Speaker 1: the way down at number twenty eight in your favorite

663
00:34:09,719 --> 00:34:13,240
Speaker 1: guys mocked draft, and don't freak out and think somebody

664
00:34:13,320 --> 00:34:15,879
Speaker 1: fell the you know because he was at number eight

665
00:34:15,960 --> 00:34:18,520
Speaker 1: in your favorite guys mocked draft. You know that each

666
00:34:18,600 --> 00:34:22,920
Speaker 1: team evaluates these players differently, no question about it. All right,

667
00:34:22,960 --> 00:34:26,080
Speaker 1: as we wrapped this up, so we'll hear from Tom

668
00:34:26,120 --> 00:34:28,480
Speaker 1: and coach Steey next week. First time we hear from

669
00:34:28,560 --> 00:34:31,680
Speaker 1: coach since the season ended, and Tom was a couple

670
00:34:31,719 --> 00:34:35,000
Speaker 1: of weeks after the season. These are pretty matter of

671
00:34:35,040 --> 00:34:37,719
Speaker 1: fact talking about the draft. Anything. You want to hear.

672
00:34:37,840 --> 00:34:41,160
Speaker 1: What you're expecting from from Tom and coach? Well, I think,

673
00:34:41,160 --> 00:34:43,680
Speaker 1: you know, probably the most important thing really, it's just

674
00:34:43,760 --> 00:34:46,960
Speaker 1: free agency. You know, we'll be a week in two

675
00:34:47,000 --> 00:34:49,000
Speaker 1: will be when they talk. It'll be a week since

676
00:34:49,040 --> 00:34:52,759
Speaker 1: you could apply the franchise tag. Um. You know, they're

677
00:34:52,760 --> 00:34:55,880
Speaker 1: not going to show their hand for anything. But you know,

678
00:34:55,960 --> 00:34:58,920
Speaker 1: I think you know, probably hear about the remaking of

679
00:34:58,920 --> 00:35:01,120
Speaker 1: the coaching staff again and you know, and a new

680
00:35:01,160 --> 00:35:04,200
Speaker 1: special teams coach, new offensive line coach, you know, new

681
00:35:04,239 --> 00:35:08,680
Speaker 1: offensive consultant. Um. You know, maybe some more self reflection

682
00:35:08,880 --> 00:35:12,880
Speaker 1: when you get further away from the season, recognizing you know,

683
00:35:12,960 --> 00:35:15,480
Speaker 1: what you liked, what you did well, what you need

684
00:35:15,520 --> 00:35:17,120
Speaker 1: to improve. I think it's going to be a lot

685
00:35:17,160 --> 00:35:20,879
Speaker 1: of that. UM. And you know what I really hope

686
00:35:20,880 --> 00:35:23,360
Speaker 1: we hear is, Hey, we've held some What I'd like

687
00:35:23,800 --> 00:35:25,640
Speaker 1: If you're asking me what I like to hear, I'd

688
00:35:25,640 --> 00:35:28,800
Speaker 1: like to hear we had really productive talks with Chenni's people,

689
00:35:29,000 --> 00:35:30,840
Speaker 1: and we feel really good about that. That's what I

690
00:35:30,840 --> 00:35:32,399
Speaker 1: would like to hear. You know, we feel really good

691
00:35:32,440 --> 00:35:36,000
Speaker 1: about the conversations we're having with with Chenna and Mike

692
00:35:36,080 --> 00:35:38,480
Speaker 1: Williams people. We feel really good about that. Going for

693
00:35:38,719 --> 00:35:40,960
Speaker 1: that would be UM. That would probably be the thing

694
00:35:41,000 --> 00:35:43,520
Speaker 1: I'd like to hear most, no question about that. And

695
00:35:43,920 --> 00:35:46,640
Speaker 1: I hope we get some of those guys back that

696
00:35:46,800 --> 00:35:49,879
Speaker 1: did fit what coach wants to do. Defensively, I think

697
00:35:49,960 --> 00:35:53,400
Speaker 1: Chenna fits really anywhere, and he really proved that towards

698
00:35:53,400 --> 00:35:55,799
Speaker 1: the end of the year. Um, what are you going

699
00:35:55,840 --> 00:35:58,359
Speaker 1: to be doing for NFL network so we can we

700
00:35:58,440 --> 00:36:02,160
Speaker 1: can mark our calendars and set our DVRs money. Yeah? Well,

701
00:36:02,200 --> 00:36:06,319
Speaker 1: you know, because I because I connect with the kids

702
00:36:06,320 --> 00:36:09,360
Speaker 1: so much. My platform is digital, which is what the

703
00:36:09,440 --> 00:36:12,080
Speaker 1: kids love. So all of my stuff is on the

706
00:36:19,239 --> 00:36:21,600
Speaker 1: So Thursday, Friday, Saturday, Sunday, we're going to do the

707
00:36:21,719 --> 00:36:26,719
Speaker 1: hour before the combine gets going. And I'm doing it

708
00:36:26,760 --> 00:36:29,000
Speaker 1: with Bucky, who you know is former scout for the

709
00:36:29,000 --> 00:36:33,560
Speaker 1: Panthers the Seahawks. And I'm doing it with Lance, whose dad, Lanzerline,

710
00:36:33,560 --> 00:36:36,080
Speaker 1: who's the guy that writes up all six hundred bios,

711
00:36:36,080 --> 00:36:38,319
Speaker 1: so he's got to watch more film than anybody else

712
00:36:38,320 --> 00:36:41,640
Speaker 1: at NFL Network. Lance's dad, for people that don't know,

713
00:36:41,719 --> 00:36:45,200
Speaker 1: a long time, well respected offensive line coach in the

714
00:36:45,320 --> 00:36:49,880
Speaker 1: NFL for about fifty years. So Lance, Bucky and Me

00:37:00,480 --> 00:37:03,000
