1
00:00:00,760 --> 00:00:06,160
Speaker 1: And now move the sticks with Daniel Jeremiah and Bucky Brooks.

2
00:00:07,760 --> 00:00:10,480
Speaker 1: What's going on, everybody, DJ, Bucky here, moved the sticks

3
00:00:10,640 --> 00:00:13,160
Speaker 1: coming at you. We are in the middle of the

4
00:00:13,200 --> 00:00:16,200
Speaker 1: second week of the NFL preseason. I think we're only

5
00:00:16,360 --> 00:00:19,400
Speaker 1: one more Saturday uh to go before we get some

6
00:00:19,440 --> 00:00:22,320
Speaker 1: college football games going on. So Bucky, this thing is

7
00:00:22,320 --> 00:00:24,599
Speaker 1: is in full gear right now, and finally the games

8
00:00:24,600 --> 00:00:26,720
Speaker 1: are gonna start to matter here pretty soon. Yeah, it's

9
00:00:26,760 --> 00:00:28,760
Speaker 1: been exciting. I think the one thing that has really

10
00:00:28,760 --> 00:00:31,040
Speaker 1: popped up is kind of seeing the reports on these

11
00:00:31,120 --> 00:00:34,440
Speaker 1: joint practice sessions, UM, how teams are beginning to get

12
00:00:34,479 --> 00:00:36,960
Speaker 1: together and work together, being able to evaluate each other

13
00:00:36,960 --> 00:00:39,080
Speaker 1: before you even put them on the preseason game, and

14
00:00:39,080 --> 00:00:42,560
Speaker 1: then watching how your young guys perform in the preseason.

15
00:00:42,640 --> 00:00:44,839
Speaker 1: It's really exciting time. And because we're getting down to

16
00:00:44,960 --> 00:00:47,919
Speaker 1: nut cutting time uh the next week or two, we're

17
00:00:47,960 --> 00:00:50,800
Speaker 1: really determined who's on the final fifty three. I want

18
00:00:50,800 --> 00:00:52,560
Speaker 1: to get to the joint practice thing. In just a second,

19
00:00:52,600 --> 00:00:54,520
Speaker 1: Let's tell everybody that's listening what we have coming up

20
00:00:54,520 --> 00:00:57,680
Speaker 1: on today's episode. We're gonna look at the three games

21
00:00:57,680 --> 00:00:59,680
Speaker 1: we've already had this week in the preseason what we

22
00:00:59,720 --> 00:01:02,920
Speaker 1: saw in those three contests, and interesting quarterback discussions that

23
00:01:03,720 --> 00:01:06,680
Speaker 1: Bucky myself need to have on those three games. We're

24
00:01:06,680 --> 00:01:08,959
Speaker 1: going to preview just a little nugget one thing we're

25
00:01:08,959 --> 00:01:11,959
Speaker 1: looking forward to in each of the remaining preseason games.

26
00:01:12,000 --> 00:01:14,840
Speaker 1: Here in the second week, I'm gonna talk about the

27
00:01:14,880 --> 00:01:16,440
Speaker 1: little trip that I had over the last week. Went

28
00:01:16,440 --> 00:01:18,199
Speaker 1: out to Florida State for a couple of days. Bucky

29
00:01:18,200 --> 00:01:19,920
Speaker 1: as a tar hero. I'm sure you can appreciate the

30
00:01:19,920 --> 00:01:22,279
Speaker 1: free Florida State hat that I'm wearing too. I can't.

31
00:01:22,440 --> 00:01:24,720
Speaker 1: I can't see it, but I'm okay because the tar

32
00:01:24,800 --> 00:01:28,400
Speaker 1: heels on Florida State. I know, I knew you were

33
00:01:28,400 --> 00:01:29,760
Speaker 1: going there. I put on a t for you. But

34
00:01:30,000 --> 00:01:31,640
Speaker 1: so we'll talk a little bit about my my trip

35
00:01:31,720 --> 00:01:34,839
Speaker 1: out there. I've got an article coming out early next

36
00:01:34,840 --> 00:01:37,280
Speaker 1: week on five players that are kind of under the

37
00:01:37,360 --> 00:01:39,360
Speaker 1: radar that look, you know who these guys are. You've

38
00:01:39,400 --> 00:01:41,960
Speaker 1: heard of them. They've got a good reputation in the

39
00:01:42,000 --> 00:01:44,800
Speaker 1: public and with the media, but they have a reputation

40
00:01:44,880 --> 00:01:47,560
Speaker 1: that's far beyond that. When you talk to personnel evaluators.

41
00:01:47,880 --> 00:01:49,920
Speaker 1: Scouts have been out there already visited a bunch of

42
00:01:49,920 --> 00:01:51,520
Speaker 1: these schools. So I've heard a couple of these names

43
00:01:51,520 --> 00:01:54,040
Speaker 1: come up over and over again. So we'll get into

44
00:01:54,080 --> 00:01:55,760
Speaker 1: one of those and hear a story from one of

45
00:01:55,760 --> 00:01:58,160
Speaker 1: those players, an interview that we actually had with him

46
00:01:58,200 --> 00:02:00,680
Speaker 1: not too long ago. So we got some college football

47
00:02:00,720 --> 00:02:03,800
Speaker 1: to get to. Uh, we've got some preseason action to discuss.

48
00:02:03,840 --> 00:02:05,000
Speaker 1: But Bucky, I want to get back to what you

49
00:02:05,000 --> 00:02:07,120
Speaker 1: just said a minute ago talking about these joint practices.

50
00:02:07,600 --> 00:02:09,200
Speaker 1: I know on Twitter you're kind of going through that

51
00:02:09,240 --> 00:02:13,280
Speaker 1: a little bit. Explain to those that might not get uh,

52
00:02:13,440 --> 00:02:15,760
Speaker 1: why more teams are doing this, and it starts with

53
00:02:15,800 --> 00:02:18,239
Speaker 1: the trends that are Bill Belichick has really really got

54
00:02:18,280 --> 00:02:20,919
Speaker 1: involved and in doing these joint practices, not just one

55
00:02:20,960 --> 00:02:22,800
Speaker 1: team a year, doing with a couple of different teams

56
00:02:22,800 --> 00:02:25,160
Speaker 1: each season. You know, it's crazy. Um, you know the

57
00:02:25,480 --> 00:02:27,520
Speaker 1: Patriots are always kind of like cutting it as they're

58
00:02:27,520 --> 00:02:30,799
Speaker 1: always at the forefront of the movement. Uh. Joint practices

59
00:02:30,840 --> 00:02:33,840
Speaker 1: are basically when two teams get together and they practice

60
00:02:33,880 --> 00:02:37,040
Speaker 1: for a couple of days, and they basically conduct what

61
00:02:37,080 --> 00:02:39,840
Speaker 1: would be a normal practice session, but they go against

62
00:02:39,880 --> 00:02:42,720
Speaker 1: each other. So they will start off and do their

63
00:02:42,760 --> 00:02:45,480
Speaker 1: normal warm ups and things together. But then when you

64
00:02:45,520 --> 00:02:48,400
Speaker 1: break up and start doing one on one, seven on

65
00:02:48,480 --> 00:02:51,680
Speaker 1: seven drills, nine on seven which is the inside run period,

66
00:02:51,840 --> 00:02:55,320
Speaker 1: and eleven on eleven drills. UM, you'll take one team

67
00:02:55,320 --> 00:02:57,280
Speaker 1: and we'll use this week like the Patriots are going

68
00:02:57,320 --> 00:03:00,520
Speaker 1: against the Houston Texans, so the Patriots often we'll go

69
00:03:00,560 --> 00:03:03,680
Speaker 1: against the Texans defense, and the Texans offense we'll go

70
00:03:03,720 --> 00:03:07,040
Speaker 1: against the Patriots defense. And the beauty of it is

71
00:03:07,520 --> 00:03:10,880
Speaker 1: UM you have an opportunity to finally evaluate your guys

72
00:03:10,919 --> 00:03:13,760
Speaker 1: against other competition. You get a chance to see how

73
00:03:13,760 --> 00:03:17,240
Speaker 1: they play in a very competitive yet controlled environment. And

74
00:03:17,280 --> 00:03:19,240
Speaker 1: what the Patriots have done is they've taken it to

75
00:03:19,280 --> 00:03:22,839
Speaker 1: the next level. They are really playing all of their

76
00:03:22,919 --> 00:03:27,400
Speaker 1: starters in these joint practice sessions because there's a quick whistle,

77
00:03:27,680 --> 00:03:30,080
Speaker 1: its thud tempo, you don't take people to the ground.

78
00:03:30,440 --> 00:03:34,040
Speaker 1: And then in preseason games they're playing their backups because

79
00:03:34,320 --> 00:03:36,960
Speaker 1: they don't have to expose their starters to injury. I

80
00:03:37,000 --> 00:03:39,320
Speaker 1: really think it's a brilliant move. I think it's something

81
00:03:39,320 --> 00:03:41,680
Speaker 1: that more teams are going to do, and I really

82
00:03:41,720 --> 00:03:44,720
Speaker 1: get into it in deep detail in my notebook this week,

83
00:03:44,760 --> 00:03:47,080
Speaker 1: which is already posted on dot com. Yeah, you gotta

84
00:03:47,120 --> 00:03:49,440
Speaker 1: check out Bucky's notebook. It's money every single weekend. And

85
00:03:49,440 --> 00:03:51,640
Speaker 1: one of the things Buck, I think that you touched

86
00:03:51,680 --> 00:03:54,320
Speaker 1: on there with the value to these in my opinion,

87
00:03:54,680 --> 00:03:57,040
Speaker 1: like we used to always take a week in the

88
00:03:57,080 --> 00:03:59,320
Speaker 1: off season the teams I was with, and you dedicated

89
00:03:59,400 --> 00:04:02,080
Speaker 1: to teams inside your division. So one day a practice,

90
00:04:02,120 --> 00:04:04,520
Speaker 1: you would, you know, have a look from the other team. Okay,

91
00:04:04,520 --> 00:04:07,000
Speaker 1: we're with the Ravens. We're gonna see the Bengals. Look.

92
00:04:07,080 --> 00:04:09,120
Speaker 1: So you've got guys going off cards and trying to

93
00:04:09,160 --> 00:04:10,840
Speaker 1: run the schemes at the Bengals run. The next day

94
00:04:10,880 --> 00:04:12,880
Speaker 1: would be the Browns. Uh, the following day might be

95
00:04:12,920 --> 00:04:15,640
Speaker 1: the Steelers. Well, it's one thing when you're let's say

96
00:04:15,680 --> 00:04:18,240
Speaker 1: you're your four three based team. You know you're gonna

97
00:04:18,279 --> 00:04:20,240
Speaker 1: see some of those odd fronts throughout the year, and

98
00:04:20,279 --> 00:04:21,880
Speaker 1: so you put up a card and you put guys

99
00:04:21,920 --> 00:04:24,360
Speaker 1: in spots where they're supposed to be. That's one thing

100
00:04:24,400 --> 00:04:26,080
Speaker 1: to try and mimic a look of a thirty or

101
00:04:26,080 --> 00:04:28,279
Speaker 1: four team. It's another thing to to practice for a

102
00:04:28,320 --> 00:04:30,160
Speaker 1: couple of days with a team that majors in it,

103
00:04:30,240 --> 00:04:33,040
Speaker 1: that knows exactly what they're doing. This is what they do,

104
00:04:33,520 --> 00:04:35,479
Speaker 1: so you get a chance to see different schemes and

105
00:04:35,480 --> 00:04:38,520
Speaker 1: get full speed practice reps in what you mentioned there

106
00:04:38,560 --> 00:04:41,080
Speaker 1: in a thud environment, so you're not gonna get guys hurt.

107
00:04:41,120 --> 00:04:42,960
Speaker 1: I mean, I think it is so valuable for these

108
00:04:43,000 --> 00:04:45,400
Speaker 1: guys instead of working off of a card, to actually

109
00:04:45,400 --> 00:04:47,040
Speaker 1: play a team that runs a similar scheme to a

110
00:04:47,040 --> 00:04:49,520
Speaker 1: team you're gonna see during the regular season. I absolutely agree.

111
00:04:49,560 --> 00:04:51,359
Speaker 1: I think it's one of the best things that you

112
00:04:51,400 --> 00:04:54,240
Speaker 1: can do. And because you really can control the environment

113
00:04:54,560 --> 00:04:57,640
Speaker 1: in terms of the quick whistle, not letting the quarterback

114
00:04:57,720 --> 00:05:01,560
Speaker 1: get hit, it allows you to really um play the

115
00:05:01,600 --> 00:05:04,640
Speaker 1: game without the exposure of injury. But another thing that

116
00:05:04,680 --> 00:05:07,919
Speaker 1: allows you to do it allows you to experiment without

117
00:05:07,960 --> 00:05:10,520
Speaker 1: showing what you want to do to the football world.

118
00:05:10,760 --> 00:05:14,040
Speaker 1: So in understanding, every practice is tape, but it's tape

119
00:05:14,320 --> 00:05:17,400
Speaker 1: by each individual team, So the patients will get a copy,

120
00:05:17,520 --> 00:05:20,080
Speaker 1: the texts will have their own tape, but the rest

121
00:05:20,080 --> 00:05:22,120
Speaker 1: of the league won't do that. When you play a

122
00:05:22,160 --> 00:05:25,640
Speaker 1: preseason game, that tape is circulated and distributed to all

123
00:05:25,720 --> 00:05:28,840
Speaker 1: thirty two teams, so every team can now look at

124
00:05:29,120 --> 00:05:32,560
Speaker 1: what you're trying to do from a tactical and schematic standpoint, Well,

125
00:05:32,560 --> 00:05:35,200
Speaker 1: in these joint practices, you can do the things that

126
00:05:35,240 --> 00:05:37,440
Speaker 1: you think you may want to save and to the

127
00:05:37,480 --> 00:05:40,680
Speaker 1: regular season. You can keep those things a secret but

128
00:05:40,760 --> 00:05:43,320
Speaker 1: still work on them. I think is a great move.

129
00:05:43,560 --> 00:05:45,400
Speaker 1: There are a lot of benefits to the joint sessions,

130
00:05:45,400 --> 00:05:48,200
Speaker 1: which is why we're seeing so many of these teams

131
00:05:48,279 --> 00:05:51,400
Speaker 1: really engage in these practices because they're seeing the benefit

132
00:05:51,440 --> 00:05:54,160
Speaker 1: from them. No question, I think it's I think it's

133
00:05:54,200 --> 00:05:56,040
Speaker 1: a brilliant idea and I think we're gonna continue to

134
00:05:56,080 --> 00:05:57,800
Speaker 1: see more of it, especially when you have guys with

135
00:05:57,839 --> 00:06:00,279
Speaker 1: a tree. You know, you've got a general man Andrew

136
00:06:00,279 --> 00:06:02,440
Speaker 1: who maybe has someone underneath him that's worked somewhere else

137
00:06:03,000 --> 00:06:05,120
Speaker 1: has left and so you have those relationships. You have

138
00:06:05,160 --> 00:06:06,840
Speaker 1: a coach who's had an assistant that gets a head

139
00:06:06,839 --> 00:06:09,840
Speaker 1: coaching job somewhere. So there's a lot of connections you

140
00:06:09,839 --> 00:06:11,599
Speaker 1: have and you trust those guys. And I think even

141
00:06:11,600 --> 00:06:14,520
Speaker 1: from a personnel standpoint, it's a valuable to have, you know,

142
00:06:14,680 --> 00:06:17,120
Speaker 1: keep your scouts in the building and be able to

143
00:06:17,160 --> 00:06:18,960
Speaker 1: look at the back end of the roster of the

144
00:06:19,000 --> 00:06:20,719
Speaker 1: team that you're working against for a couple of days

145
00:06:20,720 --> 00:06:22,840
Speaker 1: and it might be a situation where guy's gonna get cut.

146
00:06:22,839 --> 00:06:24,279
Speaker 1: It could be a situation where you say, hey, this

147
00:06:24,279 --> 00:06:26,200
Speaker 1: is where the numbers are. I don't think this guy

148
00:06:26,240 --> 00:06:27,840
Speaker 1: is gonna make your team. It's an area of need

149
00:06:27,920 --> 00:06:30,080
Speaker 1: for us, whereas we're a little bit deeper maybe at

150
00:06:30,120 --> 00:06:32,240
Speaker 1: this position that you need. And so you get a

151
00:06:32,320 --> 00:06:34,640
Speaker 1: chance to be familiar with another roster and allows you

152
00:06:34,680 --> 00:06:36,719
Speaker 1: to make some moves. I think you'll see some of

153
00:06:36,760 --> 00:06:38,880
Speaker 1: these teams that have been participating in joint practices. You're

154
00:06:38,880 --> 00:06:41,240
Speaker 1: gonna see them claim players from those teams. And I

155
00:06:41,279 --> 00:06:43,400
Speaker 1: bet you will see a traitor too once we get

156
00:06:43,440 --> 00:06:45,640
Speaker 1: down to cut day. Yeah, absolutely believe that DJ And

157
00:06:45,640 --> 00:06:47,599
Speaker 1: And when you get a chance to practice against him,

158
00:06:47,680 --> 00:06:49,960
Speaker 1: you get more than just the preseason game that you

159
00:06:50,040 --> 00:06:53,159
Speaker 1: normally would get uh an opportunity to evaluate a player.

160
00:06:53,360 --> 00:06:55,080
Speaker 1: You now get a couple of practices. You get to

161
00:06:55,080 --> 00:06:56,760
Speaker 1: see him in one on once, how they look at

162
00:06:56,800 --> 00:06:58,800
Speaker 1: seven on seven. You get to see them even in

163
00:06:58,839 --> 00:07:02,840
Speaker 1: the special teams per is. So your assessment is far

164
00:07:02,920 --> 00:07:05,080
Speaker 1: more detailed than it would be if it was simply

165
00:07:05,279 --> 00:07:09,080
Speaker 1: just um looking at a guy on preseason tape. I mean,

166
00:07:09,600 --> 00:07:12,560
Speaker 1: I don't know what the potential downside to it is

167
00:07:12,640 --> 00:07:15,000
Speaker 1: when it comes to these joint practice sessions. And I

168
00:07:15,040 --> 00:07:18,160
Speaker 1: think more teams and more coaches, as they continue to

169
00:07:18,200 --> 00:07:20,880
Speaker 1: have guys that they trust throughout the league, they will

170
00:07:20,920 --> 00:07:23,400
Speaker 1: find a way to get these joint practice sessions. Because

171
00:07:23,760 --> 00:07:26,160
Speaker 1: I mean I I equated to high school. It's almost

172
00:07:26,200 --> 00:07:28,680
Speaker 1: like a high school jamboree where you're scrimmaging teams, you're

173
00:07:28,720 --> 00:07:30,720
Speaker 1: able to get the tape. It really helps you prepare

174
00:07:30,760 --> 00:07:33,200
Speaker 1: for the regular season. This is what teams are really

175
00:07:33,240 --> 00:07:35,600
Speaker 1: moving to, and I think it's a great evaluation tool.

176
00:07:35,960 --> 00:07:37,920
Speaker 1: All right, before we get to these preseason games, you

177
00:07:38,000 --> 00:07:40,280
Speaker 1: talked about something that's trend setting here with what's going

178
00:07:40,320 --> 00:07:42,080
Speaker 1: on these joint practice I actually want to touch on

179
00:07:42,080 --> 00:07:43,560
Speaker 1: one thing on the college side before we get back

180
00:07:43,560 --> 00:07:45,560
Speaker 1: to the NFL. Uh. Speaking of trends, I don't know

181
00:07:45,560 --> 00:07:47,120
Speaker 1: if you saw this article. I read this the other

182
00:07:47,200 --> 00:07:50,880
Speaker 1: day about Clemson and their strategy of of rotating their

183
00:07:50,880 --> 00:07:52,960
Speaker 1: receivers and playing with they like to play with, you know,

184
00:07:53,000 --> 00:07:54,840
Speaker 1: six or eight different receivers. Did you happen to run

185
00:07:54,880 --> 00:07:57,360
Speaker 1: across that buck? I did not see that article. So

186
00:07:57,440 --> 00:07:59,480
Speaker 1: here was the premise, and I thought this was brilliant,

187
00:07:59,480 --> 00:08:02,640
Speaker 1: and it just said look, we don't want guys running

188
00:08:02,760 --> 00:08:05,760
Speaker 1: at uh. You know, say you get a receiver, gonna

189
00:08:05,800 --> 00:08:07,720
Speaker 1: have him run. He's gonna be out there for you know,

190
00:08:07,920 --> 00:08:11,560
Speaker 1: eighty snaps, ninety snaps, whatever, sixty snaps. He said, Okay,

191
00:08:11,680 --> 00:08:13,760
Speaker 1: the corner is usually not They're not gonna rotate that

192
00:08:13,880 --> 00:08:15,400
Speaker 1: much on the defensive side of the ball. So if

193
00:08:15,400 --> 00:08:17,160
Speaker 1: I'm hitting it, if I'm hitting him with the vertical

194
00:08:17,240 --> 00:08:19,800
Speaker 1: route on one play, I come back. It was actually

195
00:08:19,840 --> 00:08:22,440
Speaker 1: Ohio State coach and even said this about why Ohio

196
00:08:22,520 --> 00:08:25,120
Speaker 1: State is going to start rotating more corners because he

197
00:08:25,160 --> 00:08:26,760
Speaker 1: said we had it. We had a game last year.

198
00:08:26,800 --> 00:08:28,040
Speaker 1: I don't know if it's a Clemson, it might have

199
00:08:28,080 --> 00:08:31,880
Speaker 1: been the Clemson game. Coach said, we had a game

200
00:08:31,960 --> 00:08:33,679
Speaker 1: where we got a corner out there, they bring out

201
00:08:33,840 --> 00:08:36,240
Speaker 1: a receiver, they run a vertical, they take him out,

202
00:08:36,280 --> 00:08:39,000
Speaker 1: put another fresh receiver and run a vertical. Three plays

203
00:08:39,000 --> 00:08:41,800
Speaker 1: in a row, three different receivers, all freshest, can be

204
00:08:42,120 --> 00:08:44,839
Speaker 1: all hitting him with verticals, and so they're just running

205
00:08:44,840 --> 00:08:47,480
Speaker 1: your legs off these corners. Man. And so having a

206
00:08:47,480 --> 00:08:50,000
Speaker 1: bunch of different receivers you can keep fresh and rotate

207
00:08:50,040 --> 00:08:52,439
Speaker 1: through the mix. At the college level, I think it's

208
00:08:52,480 --> 00:08:54,360
Speaker 1: brilliant and it's an easy way to sell in recruiting

209
00:08:54,360 --> 00:08:55,640
Speaker 1: as well. Hey, we're gonna get all you guys in

210
00:08:55,679 --> 00:08:57,440
Speaker 1: the next gonna get you all on the field, get

211
00:08:57,440 --> 00:08:59,520
Speaker 1: a chance to develop you, and the defense is gonna

212
00:08:59,520 --> 00:09:01,439
Speaker 1: have to ree and start rotating some of these corners

213
00:09:01,480 --> 00:09:03,320
Speaker 1: that they're gonna run the wheels off these dude. That's

214
00:09:03,320 --> 00:09:05,760
Speaker 1: that's a scary thing when you're cleansing, too, because they

215
00:09:05,800 --> 00:09:08,280
Speaker 1: just picked up a couple that obviously they're they're one

216
00:09:08,280 --> 00:09:10,079
Speaker 1: of the top recruiting classes year and year out with

217
00:09:10,120 --> 00:09:12,760
Speaker 1: that Bo Sweeney. Um, but I watched a kid out

218
00:09:12,760 --> 00:09:15,280
Speaker 1: of Knoxville. They stole him right out of Tennessee. Uh

219
00:09:15,280 --> 00:09:19,760
Speaker 1: Tee Higgins. Uh time. Yeah. Kids, just a freak athlete.

220
00:09:19,920 --> 00:09:21,800
Speaker 1: And you're getting a guy like that who's a freshman

221
00:09:22,240 --> 00:09:25,120
Speaker 1: coming off the bench and running, You're right running people's

222
00:09:25,200 --> 00:09:27,840
Speaker 1: ragged because it's just a wave after wave of talented

223
00:09:27,840 --> 00:09:30,040
Speaker 1: receivers coming in. You know, this is funny because that

224
00:09:30,120 --> 00:09:32,480
Speaker 1: that actually comes from. That's an old protect where you

225
00:09:32,480 --> 00:09:35,120
Speaker 1: would put maybe the fourth or fifth wide receiver on

226
00:09:35,200 --> 00:09:37,680
Speaker 1: the field. Haven't run a couple of vertical routes against

227
00:09:37,679 --> 00:09:40,199
Speaker 1: the number one quarternity posting team. He goes out, your

228
00:09:40,240 --> 00:09:42,600
Speaker 1: normal starter comes back in, and it's part of just

229
00:09:42,920 --> 00:09:46,160
Speaker 1: wearing people down. I think chip Kelly did something that

230
00:09:46,280 --> 00:09:50,440
Speaker 1: I believe was revolutionary um a while ago when he

231
00:09:50,480 --> 00:09:52,720
Speaker 1: was at Oregon when they would almost use the hockey

232
00:09:52,800 --> 00:09:56,480
Speaker 1: line substitutions at Oregon, first defense would come out, second

233
00:09:56,520 --> 00:09:59,719
Speaker 1: defense would come in. They're playing twenty to twenty two

234
00:09:59,720 --> 00:10:02,640
Speaker 1: guys on defense to make sure that their guys didn't

235
00:10:02,679 --> 00:10:04,960
Speaker 1: wear it down. I think as we're looking at the

236
00:10:05,000 --> 00:10:08,679
Speaker 1: college game and with more teams using tempo, spread, hurry up,

237
00:10:08,920 --> 00:10:13,400
Speaker 1: trying to really occupy to a hundred players of space,

238
00:10:13,720 --> 00:10:16,240
Speaker 1: you can't just have like a one man platoon system.

239
00:10:16,240 --> 00:10:17,800
Speaker 1: You have to be able to roll people in and out.

240
00:10:18,120 --> 00:10:22,680
Speaker 1: And I think is kind of interesting that Ohio State

241
00:10:22,720 --> 00:10:25,920
Speaker 1: is talking about countering with that on defense to go

242
00:10:26,000 --> 00:10:29,600
Speaker 1: with what Clemson was talking about offensively. That's just fun.

243
00:10:29,640 --> 00:10:31,520
Speaker 1: I had a fun little article that I came across there,

244
00:10:31,520 --> 00:10:33,600
Speaker 1: so I wanted to run that by, and you're right,

245
00:10:33,600 --> 00:10:35,440
Speaker 1: it's it's funny. These things have a way of trickling

246
00:10:35,520 --> 00:10:37,400
Speaker 1: up or trickling down. The challenge I think for chip

247
00:10:37,520 --> 00:10:39,800
Speaker 1: Kelly was you can do that in college with with

248
00:10:39,880 --> 00:10:42,760
Speaker 1: your roster size in the NFL, it's hard to rotate

249
00:10:42,800 --> 00:10:44,840
Speaker 1: that many guys through you. You don't have but so

250
00:10:44,880 --> 00:10:47,120
Speaker 1: many guys active on game day, so you can't carry

251
00:10:47,440 --> 00:10:50,760
Speaker 1: a ninety man roster out there. So uh interesting, interesting

252
00:10:50,800 --> 00:10:52,160
Speaker 1: little thing that we came across there. All right, But

253
00:10:52,200 --> 00:10:53,880
Speaker 1: I don't know how much you saw these preseason games,

254
00:10:53,920 --> 00:10:56,360
Speaker 1: but a lot of last night did you see? Uh

255
00:10:56,400 --> 00:10:57,959
Speaker 1: the Uh, Well, you can go from one end of

256
00:10:58,000 --> 00:10:59,960
Speaker 1: the spectrum to the other. Let's start on the good side.

257
00:11:00,120 --> 00:11:04,000
Speaker 1: Let's keep things positive. Jamis Winston to me last night

258
00:11:04,200 --> 00:11:07,160
Speaker 1: watching that I watched actually this morning, Uh, I saw

259
00:11:07,240 --> 00:11:12,440
Speaker 1: somebody that absolutely trust his eyes, that's confident, that's anticipating,

260
00:11:12,760 --> 00:11:15,520
Speaker 1: that's really kind of mass starting to master the position

261
00:11:16,320 --> 00:11:20,240
Speaker 1: with what he's doing with his eyes, moving secondary guys around,

262
00:11:20,280 --> 00:11:22,079
Speaker 1: just doing a lot of different things. On time, he

263
00:11:22,080 --> 00:11:24,720
Speaker 1: saw him on the move, throwing the ball accurately. Patients

264
00:11:24,960 --> 00:11:27,560
Speaker 1: had one bone head throw that got called back to

265
00:11:27,600 --> 00:11:29,280
Speaker 1: pick down there in the red zone. But outside of

266
00:11:29,280 --> 00:11:32,199
Speaker 1: that one Playbucky, he is dialed in right now. Oh,

267
00:11:32,200 --> 00:11:35,320
Speaker 1: he's absolutely dowed in. They surround him with the players

268
00:11:35,360 --> 00:11:37,640
Speaker 1: on the perimeter. That will allow him to play the

269
00:11:37,679 --> 00:11:39,200
Speaker 1: game the way that we thought that he would play

270
00:11:39,240 --> 00:11:41,319
Speaker 1: the game coming out of Florida State. When you look

271
00:11:41,360 --> 00:11:43,640
Speaker 1: at this Tampa Bay offense, they have everything that you

272
00:11:43,679 --> 00:11:46,960
Speaker 1: possibly could want in the skill position. They got speed

273
00:11:47,080 --> 00:11:49,000
Speaker 1: and de Sean Jackson, he got a number one, and

274
00:11:49,040 --> 00:11:51,520
Speaker 1: Mike Evans, got two big tight ends, and Cameron Braid

275
00:11:51,520 --> 00:11:53,599
Speaker 1: and O. J. Howard who also have the flexibility to

276
00:11:53,640 --> 00:11:57,040
Speaker 1: play in line or out wide. UH. They could push

277
00:11:57,080 --> 00:11:58,559
Speaker 1: the ball down the field. They have a running back

278
00:11:58,559 --> 00:12:01,559
Speaker 1: Doug Morton, who was looking for good in the preseason.

279
00:12:01,960 --> 00:12:04,800
Speaker 1: This offense is going to be dangerous. The one thing

280
00:12:04,880 --> 00:12:07,800
Speaker 1: that you have to, um, I guess, kind of make

281
00:12:07,840 --> 00:12:09,960
Speaker 1: sure with Jamis's dead, he just kind of stays in

282
00:12:10,040 --> 00:12:12,720
Speaker 1: his lane. He can't be prone to a little gunsling it,

283
00:12:12,800 --> 00:12:16,040
Speaker 1: which is fine, but with the way this team is constructed,

284
00:12:16,440 --> 00:12:19,080
Speaker 1: he doesn't have to be a hero. All he needs

285
00:12:19,120 --> 00:12:21,480
Speaker 1: to do is allow his playmakers to play. And we

286
00:12:21,559 --> 00:12:25,240
Speaker 1: saw early on how explosive that offense can be. Twenty

287
00:12:25,280 --> 00:12:28,400
Speaker 1: one twenty eight. UH got the ball to everybody. They

288
00:12:28,400 --> 00:12:29,920
Speaker 1: went up and down the field the way that they

289
00:12:29,960 --> 00:12:32,120
Speaker 1: wanted to. This Tampa Bay team is for real. They

290
00:12:32,120 --> 00:12:36,280
Speaker 1: are legitimate playoff contender, no question, and uh Adam Humphrey's

291
00:12:36,320 --> 00:12:37,719
Speaker 1: got involved a little bit in the middle of the

292
00:12:37,760 --> 00:12:39,520
Speaker 1: field as well, So there's a variety of weapons if

293
00:12:39,559 --> 00:12:41,600
Speaker 1: they can use on the defensive side of the ball

294
00:12:41,640 --> 00:12:43,719
Speaker 1: for them real quick, I'll tell you what jumped out

295
00:12:43,720 --> 00:12:46,840
Speaker 1: to me first player off the snap on every single

296
00:12:46,920 --> 00:12:49,079
Speaker 1: snap with Gerald McCoy, I don't know if he's in

297
00:12:49,120 --> 00:12:51,880
Speaker 1: better shape this year or if he's fully healthier, what

298
00:12:52,000 --> 00:12:53,760
Speaker 1: the deal is, but he looked like he was five

299
00:12:53,840 --> 00:12:57,520
Speaker 1: years younger. Uh he was disruptive. He was explosive last night.

300
00:12:57,600 --> 00:13:00,120
Speaker 1: So they've got a really really good young front and

301
00:13:00,160 --> 00:13:01,840
Speaker 1: they can get him playing at that level that he

302
00:13:01,920 --> 00:13:03,920
Speaker 1: was at last night. This this team can go a

303
00:13:03,920 --> 00:13:06,000
Speaker 1: long way. Now, yeah, this team can't go a long way.

304
00:13:06,040 --> 00:13:08,520
Speaker 1: You know. The great thing about the Buccaneers there the

305
00:13:08,520 --> 00:13:10,880
Speaker 1: team that's featured on Hard Knock, so and being able

306
00:13:10,880 --> 00:13:13,680
Speaker 1: to watch them and kind of get more insight on

307
00:13:13,800 --> 00:13:15,480
Speaker 1: Jeral McCoy, who has been one of the stars of

308
00:13:15,520 --> 00:13:18,000
Speaker 1: the show. You know, I always knew he was a

309
00:13:18,040 --> 00:13:20,680
Speaker 1: really good player, but then when they started showing some

310
00:13:20,760 --> 00:13:22,840
Speaker 1: of the All twenty two, when the scouts and the

311
00:13:22,880 --> 00:13:26,400
Speaker 1: coaches are looking his get off is remarkable, and you know,

312
00:13:26,679 --> 00:13:28,920
Speaker 1: maybe it's been on wallent time since I've really scouted

313
00:13:29,000 --> 00:13:31,640
Speaker 1: him since coming out of Oklahoma. I remember him being

314
00:13:31,679 --> 00:13:33,480
Speaker 1: a really good player at the point of attack and

315
00:13:33,520 --> 00:13:36,600
Speaker 1: all that. I do not remember seeing a first step

316
00:13:37,080 --> 00:13:39,360
Speaker 1: like that at Oklahoma. Do you remember him having a

317
00:13:39,360 --> 00:13:41,440
Speaker 1: first step like that? Because remember the debate was between

318
00:13:41,760 --> 00:13:44,800
Speaker 1: and Dominican Sue and Gerald McCoy, And I was more

319
00:13:44,800 --> 00:13:47,120
Speaker 1: of a Dominican Sioux fan because they played in the

320
00:13:47,160 --> 00:13:49,959
Speaker 1: same conference in Dominican Sioux had more production. It was

321
00:13:50,000 --> 00:13:52,560
Speaker 1: a little more dominant to me the way that he played.

322
00:13:52,840 --> 00:13:56,120
Speaker 1: But Gerald McCoy's athleticism kind of stands out and he

323
00:13:56,160 --> 00:13:59,520
Speaker 1: always downplays it on the Hard Knock Show. Yeah, no,

324
00:13:59,640 --> 00:14:01,720
Speaker 1: I thought he was. I thought he was kind of

325
00:14:01,720 --> 00:14:04,240
Speaker 1: that coint essential, you know, three technique. I didn't think

326
00:14:04,240 --> 00:14:06,480
Speaker 1: he had the power of the strength that that Sue had,

327
00:14:06,480 --> 00:14:09,000
Speaker 1: and Sue had so much production, but McCoy, I thought

328
00:14:09,000 --> 00:14:10,440
Speaker 1: I had a little more wiggle to him, you know,

329
00:14:10,480 --> 00:14:12,920
Speaker 1: working on a half a man, working on edge, uh

330
00:14:12,960 --> 00:14:15,320
Speaker 1: and being disruptive. But I don't know, if I haven't

331
00:14:15,360 --> 00:14:17,280
Speaker 1: seen the second episode of Hard Knocks, so maybe maybe

332
00:14:17,320 --> 00:14:19,000
Speaker 1: they showed you when you see them there when you

333
00:14:19,000 --> 00:14:20,960
Speaker 1: when you see the second episode, they've really spent a

334
00:14:20,960 --> 00:14:23,880
Speaker 1: lot of time with McCoy and they talked about his

335
00:14:23,920 --> 00:14:25,560
Speaker 1: ability to take over, and it was funny that he

336
00:14:25,600 --> 00:14:28,360
Speaker 1: goes to the game and absolutely takes over inside. Oh yeah,

337
00:14:28,360 --> 00:14:30,560
Speaker 1: he did, he did completely. I just you know, it

338
00:14:30,640 --> 00:14:32,760
Speaker 1: seems like we've had so many defensive tackles come through

339
00:14:32,800 --> 00:14:34,760
Speaker 1: the league that have been playing at a high level.

340
00:14:34,800 --> 00:14:36,720
Speaker 1: I think Aaron Donald probably goes right up there to

341
00:14:36,760 --> 00:14:38,600
Speaker 1: the top of the list. Uh that he kind of

342
00:14:38,600 --> 00:14:40,840
Speaker 1: gets lost. But man, it was just something watching the

343
00:14:40,840 --> 00:14:42,640
Speaker 1: game last night that that jumped out to me. All Right,

344
00:14:42,680 --> 00:14:44,880
Speaker 1: we've we've done the good. We got to go to

345
00:14:44,920 --> 00:14:48,520
Speaker 1: the other side though now and Bucky, it's a good roster, man,

346
00:14:48,640 --> 00:14:51,240
Speaker 1: they have a good roster. Offensive lines you know, wasn't

347
00:14:51,280 --> 00:14:54,040
Speaker 1: great last night. I know defensively, Uh, you don't have

348
00:14:54,120 --> 00:14:57,040
Speaker 1: Jalen Ramsey out there. Offensively, you don't have Leonard four Nett,

349
00:14:57,040 --> 00:14:58,480
Speaker 1: so that they don't have their complete team out there.

350
00:14:58,480 --> 00:15:01,280
Speaker 1: I'm always hesitant to completely judge a team based off

351
00:15:01,280 --> 00:15:03,600
Speaker 1: what we see in the preseason. But what I said

352
00:15:03,640 --> 00:15:07,400
Speaker 1: about jameis Winston, the confidence, trusting his eyes, not guiding

353
00:15:07,400 --> 00:15:09,840
Speaker 1: the ball see it rip it. I would say the

354
00:15:09,880 --> 00:15:12,400
Speaker 1: exact opposite from what we saw from Blake Bortles. There's

355
00:15:12,440 --> 00:15:14,320
Speaker 1: just not a lot of confidence there, the heads down

356
00:15:14,360 --> 00:15:17,800
Speaker 1: after every single rep um leaving plays out on the field,

357
00:15:18,120 --> 00:15:21,280
Speaker 1: and you can, again, this is something that's hard to

358
00:15:21,320 --> 00:15:24,720
Speaker 1: do from three thousand miles away, but you just feel

359
00:15:24,760 --> 00:15:26,960
Speaker 1: like he's letting the air out of the balloon for

360
00:15:27,000 --> 00:15:30,400
Speaker 1: this football team. You know, I wrote about this today,

361
00:15:30,560 --> 00:15:32,480
Speaker 1: um I said that they have to put a plug

362
00:15:32,520 --> 00:15:35,520
Speaker 1: on the Blake Borders experiment. If the Jaguars are really

363
00:15:35,560 --> 00:15:39,960
Speaker 1: serious about changing the culture um and winning games, they

364
00:15:39,960 --> 00:15:42,120
Speaker 1: have to sit him on the bench. Because when you're

365
00:15:42,120 --> 00:15:44,960
Speaker 1: telling everybody else on the team, do they have to

366
00:15:45,000 --> 00:15:47,680
Speaker 1: earn their spot when you look at Blake Bortles, I

367
00:15:47,720 --> 00:15:49,400
Speaker 1: don't know how you can tell the rest of the

368
00:15:49,480 --> 00:15:51,840
Speaker 1: team in get content that this guy has earned the

369
00:15:51,960 --> 00:15:55,160
Speaker 1: number one job. You talked about him taking kind of

370
00:15:55,200 --> 00:15:57,960
Speaker 1: the wind out of the sales of the Jaguars ship.

371
00:15:58,440 --> 00:16:02,040
Speaker 1: He is because he can not make the basic throws

372
00:16:02,120 --> 00:16:04,960
Speaker 1: that a franchise quarterback is supposed to make. And we

373
00:16:05,120 --> 00:16:07,680
Speaker 1: begin to see the things on Twitter where guys are

374
00:16:07,720 --> 00:16:10,760
Speaker 1: kind of barking at him, kind of disappointed there at

375
00:16:10,800 --> 00:16:12,880
Speaker 1: the breaking point, and if he is the guy that

376
00:16:13,000 --> 00:16:15,360
Speaker 1: is their opening day starter, I just don't think he

377
00:16:15,400 --> 00:16:18,760
Speaker 1: inspires to kind of confidence and optimism that you want

378
00:16:18,800 --> 00:16:21,360
Speaker 1: for a team that on paper looks like they should

379
00:16:21,360 --> 00:16:24,160
Speaker 1: be able to contend for a playoff spot. To me,

380
00:16:24,560 --> 00:16:27,320
Speaker 1: confidence and trust, you know, those are a couple of

381
00:16:27,320 --> 00:16:29,960
Speaker 1: things you have to have as a quarterback. And right now,

382
00:16:30,000 --> 00:16:31,880
Speaker 1: I see a guy doesn't look very confident. He's not

383
00:16:31,920 --> 00:16:34,560
Speaker 1: trusting what he's seeing. And it's just almost like we

384
00:16:34,640 --> 00:16:36,640
Speaker 1: used to always say, you always have coaches tell you

385
00:16:36,720 --> 00:16:38,800
Speaker 1: they don't don't pull the string right when you're throwing

386
00:16:38,800 --> 00:16:40,520
Speaker 1: a football, don't pull a string, just let it go.

387
00:16:41,080 --> 00:16:42,920
Speaker 1: There's a couple of balls down the field last night.

388
00:16:42,920 --> 00:16:45,080
Speaker 1: You can see him trying to guide the ball and trying.

389
00:16:45,280 --> 00:16:47,720
Speaker 1: He's just he's inside his own head man. He's just

390
00:16:47,720 --> 00:16:49,800
Speaker 1: gotta let it, let it go. And I think and

391
00:16:49,880 --> 00:16:52,360
Speaker 1: maybe even for his benefit, Look, he's got a nineteen

392
00:16:52,400 --> 00:16:54,240
Speaker 1: million bucks coming to him next year, so he's gonna

393
00:16:54,240 --> 00:16:56,920
Speaker 1: be just fine. But I almost think it would be

394
00:16:56,920 --> 00:16:58,840
Speaker 1: to his benefit to kind of just step back a

395
00:16:58,840 --> 00:17:00,800
Speaker 1: little bit, you know. I he's trying to work on

396
00:17:00,840 --> 00:17:03,080
Speaker 1: so many mechanical things and not to me can be

397
00:17:03,120 --> 00:17:05,680
Speaker 1: a slippery slope too when you're trying to change everything

398
00:17:05,680 --> 00:17:08,159
Speaker 1: you've done it's gotten you to a certain point, you know.

399
00:17:08,720 --> 00:17:10,639
Speaker 1: I don't know. Maybe maybe it's best kind of to

400
00:17:10,640 --> 00:17:13,240
Speaker 1: to not listen to all the noise. And we've talked

401
00:17:13,240 --> 00:17:15,439
Speaker 1: about the release before. It's not where you want it.

402
00:17:15,520 --> 00:17:17,680
Speaker 1: But man, he was he was playing whatever he thought

403
00:17:17,720 --> 00:17:20,320
Speaker 1: of him. He was playing better, uh with with that

404
00:17:20,359 --> 00:17:22,639
Speaker 1: elongated release that he is. When he's trying to do

405
00:17:22,680 --> 00:17:24,880
Speaker 1: whatever he's doing right now, it's not working. Now, it's

406
00:17:24,880 --> 00:17:26,920
Speaker 1: not working. And I think what he is is right

407
00:17:26,920 --> 00:17:29,800
Speaker 1: now is a player who's really struggling with his confidence.

408
00:17:30,240 --> 00:17:33,600
Speaker 1: Um And to be honest, maybe they asked him to

409
00:17:33,640 --> 00:17:35,680
Speaker 1: do too much too soon. And I know they lost

410
00:17:35,680 --> 00:17:38,520
Speaker 1: a lot of games. And but DJ in writing this,

411
00:17:39,080 --> 00:17:43,080
Speaker 1: he averages thirty seven point one pass attempts per game.

412
00:17:43,640 --> 00:17:48,119
Speaker 1: That is the fourth most NFL history, behind like guys

413
00:17:48,200 --> 00:17:52,480
Speaker 1: like Andrew Luck Drew bledso damn Marino. They have basically

414
00:17:52,520 --> 00:17:55,159
Speaker 1: attempted to make him something that he's not, something that

415
00:17:55,200 --> 00:17:57,320
Speaker 1: he wasn't At U c F. He was more of

416
00:17:57,359 --> 00:18:00,080
Speaker 1: a complimentary player at U c F. He had the

417
00:18:00,119 --> 00:18:02,600
Speaker 1: guy Storm Johnson, are running back who is really the

418
00:18:02,600 --> 00:18:05,919
Speaker 1: focal point of that Central Florida offense. He made some plays,

419
00:18:05,920 --> 00:18:09,600
Speaker 1: he caught fire. But Blake Borders has been asked to

420
00:18:09,640 --> 00:18:12,159
Speaker 1: do things that he's not really capable of doing. And

421
00:18:12,200 --> 00:18:14,720
Speaker 1: even though Doug Morone has talked about a perfect game

422
00:18:14,720 --> 00:18:16,600
Speaker 1: for us would be zero pass attempts, we want to

423
00:18:16,640 --> 00:18:20,760
Speaker 1: run the ball. You cannot hide the quarterback in every game.

424
00:18:21,119 --> 00:18:23,280
Speaker 1: You need your quarterback to make a player too to

425
00:18:23,320 --> 00:18:27,040
Speaker 1: get you over the hump. Blake Borders right now is

426
00:18:27,080 --> 00:18:29,080
Speaker 1: so in his head that he can't make those plays.

427
00:18:29,240 --> 00:18:31,240
Speaker 1: And even though I'm not a huge fan of Chad Henney,

428
00:18:31,600 --> 00:18:33,239
Speaker 1: Chad Haney when he jumps on the field is more

429
00:18:33,280 --> 00:18:36,679
Speaker 1: decide some more confident in the offensive responds just because

430
00:18:37,040 --> 00:18:39,240
Speaker 1: he acts like he knows what he's supposed to do,

431
00:18:39,400 --> 00:18:41,080
Speaker 1: and the guys kind of believe in trusting him and

432
00:18:41,119 --> 00:18:43,240
Speaker 1: to do that. I didn't see. I didn't get a

433
00:18:43,320 --> 00:18:45,320
Speaker 1: chance to see the second half. I know Brandon Allen

434
00:18:45,359 --> 00:18:46,840
Speaker 1: looked like he had a nice dick corner of the

435
00:18:46,880 --> 00:18:49,919
Speaker 1: box scorers. You get to see a chance him, you

436
00:18:49,960 --> 00:18:52,679
Speaker 1: know he did. He did a really good job. Um

437
00:18:52,720 --> 00:18:55,480
Speaker 1: the ball came out, he did a really good job

438
00:18:55,520 --> 00:18:57,480
Speaker 1: on the move. He made some bootleg throws, got it

439
00:18:57,520 --> 00:19:00,280
Speaker 1: to the playmakers. Here's what I will say at is

440
00:19:00,359 --> 00:19:02,679
Speaker 1: really uh, they really stepped out to me in the

441
00:19:02,720 --> 00:19:06,359
Speaker 1: second half. Uh D D Westbrook. D D Westbrook was

442
00:19:06,440 --> 00:19:09,119
Speaker 1: underrated in the draft process. D Westbrook has six catches

443
00:19:09,160 --> 00:19:11,600
Speaker 1: a hundred thirty one yards. At times he looked like

444
00:19:11,640 --> 00:19:14,119
Speaker 1: the best wide receiver on the field. He and Brandon

445
00:19:14,160 --> 00:19:16,520
Speaker 1: Allen did a really good job of connecting. They made

446
00:19:16,520 --> 00:19:19,280
Speaker 1: some big plays. So, yes, Brandon Allen played well. DDE

447
00:19:19,359 --> 00:19:23,800
Speaker 1: Westbrook played well. This Jacksonville Jaguars team is talented. They

448
00:19:24,000 --> 00:19:27,000
Speaker 1: just are missing one guy. They have twenty one guys,

449
00:19:27,240 --> 00:19:28,960
Speaker 1: but the one guy that they really need to play

450
00:19:28,960 --> 00:19:31,280
Speaker 1: well at the quarterback, has not played well. They have

451
00:19:31,359 --> 00:19:34,360
Speaker 1: to make a decision if they seriously want to contend

452
00:19:34,440 --> 00:19:36,960
Speaker 1: and compete this year. All right, So be honest with me,

453
00:19:37,000 --> 00:19:39,040
Speaker 1: don't don't just try and put me up, puff me up,

454
00:19:39,040 --> 00:19:40,840
Speaker 1: because this is my guy here. Brandon Allen was the

455
00:19:40,840 --> 00:19:43,080
Speaker 1: one that I stumped for. It's kind of my favorite

456
00:19:43,080 --> 00:19:45,200
Speaker 1: mid round pick. Um And I went back and looked

457
00:19:45,240 --> 00:19:48,159
Speaker 1: at my notes and I said, I wrote down Jimmy Garoppolo.

458
00:19:48,240 --> 00:19:49,800
Speaker 1: So when you watched him last night, did you see

459
00:19:49,800 --> 00:19:52,800
Speaker 1: any similarities there with him and Jimmy G. Let's see

460
00:19:52,880 --> 00:19:56,280
Speaker 1: Jimmy Garoppolo. Let's see what I would say about Brandon Ellen.

461
00:19:56,440 --> 00:19:58,840
Speaker 1: He got the ball out, The ball was accurate, He

462
00:19:59,000 --> 00:20:01,000
Speaker 1: didn't look like to stay it was too big for him.

463
00:20:01,160 --> 00:20:04,840
Speaker 1: He certainly was comfortable and confident. Um. I think if

464
00:20:04,840 --> 00:20:08,080
Speaker 1: they gave him an extended run, maybe you would see

465
00:20:08,119 --> 00:20:10,800
Speaker 1: some of those Jimmy G traces. I think Jimmy Garoppolo's

466
00:20:10,800 --> 00:20:13,840
Speaker 1: are maybe a little stronger. But the next time I

467
00:20:13,880 --> 00:20:16,240
Speaker 1: look at the Jacks, I will pay closer attention to

468
00:20:16,320 --> 00:20:18,800
Speaker 1: him because it's funny because you never really think about

469
00:20:18,920 --> 00:20:21,439
Speaker 1: him being a guy in the mix, but they had

470
00:20:21,440 --> 00:20:24,200
Speaker 1: a Doug Moron has talked about the competition being open.

471
00:20:24,680 --> 00:20:26,400
Speaker 1: I do believe you kind of have to spend more

472
00:20:26,400 --> 00:20:29,240
Speaker 1: time looking at Brandon Allen to see does he have

473
00:20:29,280 --> 00:20:31,720
Speaker 1: a viable chance to be a starter for this team

474
00:20:32,280 --> 00:20:34,600
Speaker 1: or are the Jaguars a team that we're gonna talk

475
00:20:34,640 --> 00:20:37,560
Speaker 1: about being in the run for one of these quarterbacks

476
00:20:37,560 --> 00:20:40,600
Speaker 1: that may be in class. So selfishly, this is all

477
00:20:40,640 --> 00:20:42,919
Speaker 1: I need from Brandon Allen here. Just let's be selfish

478
00:20:42,920 --> 00:20:45,640
Speaker 1: for a minute. I need him to get the starting job.

479
00:20:45,680 --> 00:20:47,840
Speaker 1: I need him to win thirteen games. I need him

480
00:20:47,840 --> 00:20:49,560
Speaker 1: to go to the Pro Bowl, and then I can

481
00:20:49,600 --> 00:20:52,520
Speaker 1: somehow justify how I had him ranked over Dak Prescott. Okay,

482
00:20:52,560 --> 00:20:55,960
Speaker 1: that's all I'm asking. It's not it's not it's not. Look, look,

483
00:20:56,119 --> 00:21:00,000
Speaker 1: we we we know how these things go. Um. Sometimes

484
00:21:00,320 --> 00:21:02,560
Speaker 1: you can do it, but I think it all depends

485
00:21:02,600 --> 00:21:07,920
Speaker 1: on situation and circumstance. Brandon Allen very will could play

486
00:21:08,200 --> 00:21:10,879
Speaker 1: nice in this offense because the pieces that they have

487
00:21:10,960 --> 00:21:13,679
Speaker 1: around him. If you can keep him on the twenty

488
00:21:13,680 --> 00:21:17,440
Speaker 1: two to twenty five maybe twenty seven pass attempt pitch count,

489
00:21:18,000 --> 00:21:20,280
Speaker 1: he certainly can do it because the weapons around him

490
00:21:20,320 --> 00:21:21,840
Speaker 1: can make place. He just has to make sure he

491
00:21:21,840 --> 00:21:23,479
Speaker 1: doesn't throw it to the other team, which has been

492
00:21:23,520 --> 00:21:26,119
Speaker 1: the biggest problem with Blake Borders. Yeah, he went uh

493
00:21:26,359 --> 00:21:29,200
Speaker 1: ten and fifteen hundred and forty four yards a touchdown

494
00:21:29,320 --> 00:21:31,560
Speaker 1: lad that final drive all the way inside the five

495
00:21:31,600 --> 00:21:34,800
Speaker 1: and then they went I think four four straight past

496
00:21:34,840 --> 00:21:38,160
Speaker 1: the tents inside the five yard line. UM, And they

497
00:21:38,160 --> 00:21:41,080
Speaker 1: did a good job of bringing up how they, uh,

498
00:21:41,119 --> 00:21:43,000
Speaker 1: the Jags want to be physical, but they're throwing it

499
00:21:43,040 --> 00:21:45,639
Speaker 1: five times when you got a first and you know,

500
00:21:45,800 --> 00:21:48,240
Speaker 1: a first and goal from the five. Um. But yeah,

501
00:21:48,359 --> 00:21:49,960
Speaker 1: I thought I thought he looked good. He he looked

502
00:21:50,160 --> 00:21:52,400
Speaker 1: rolling out of the pocket. I think the the Bucks

503
00:21:52,680 --> 00:21:54,840
Speaker 1: blitzed a bunch on that final drive and he was

504
00:21:54,880 --> 00:21:57,280
Speaker 1: able to handle it well. So, uh, looking up for

505
00:21:57,320 --> 00:22:00,040
Speaker 1: your guy, Brandon Allen. Oh, yeah, thank you. I appreciate that,

506
00:22:00,160 --> 00:22:02,400
Speaker 1: Solly all right, quickly, real quick buck. On the other

507
00:22:02,440 --> 00:22:05,520
Speaker 1: two games, Eagles, Uh defense is going to be salty.

508
00:22:05,560 --> 00:22:07,800
Speaker 1: We've talked about that up front and Barnett had another

509
00:22:07,840 --> 00:22:10,960
Speaker 1: good game. Congratulations silely on that one. But up front

510
00:22:10,960 --> 00:22:12,959
Speaker 1: there they are really really good. And on the back end,

511
00:22:13,040 --> 00:22:15,119
Speaker 1: Darby had a pick, he looked very comfortable, almost had

512
00:22:15,119 --> 00:22:17,360
Speaker 1: another one shoot. They dropped maybe three or four picks

513
00:22:17,359 --> 00:22:19,280
Speaker 1: in that gamer, so Douglas got his hands on one,

514
00:22:19,800 --> 00:22:23,119
Speaker 1: wasn't able to finish, and think WinCE was was particularly sharp.

515
00:22:23,359 --> 00:22:25,639
Speaker 1: No Jason Peters in the lineup for them. That's a

516
00:22:25,720 --> 00:22:28,840
Speaker 1: huge loss. That couldn't run the ball again, which is

517
00:22:28,880 --> 00:22:30,280
Speaker 1: something to keep an eye on. But I think you

518
00:22:30,320 --> 00:22:32,800
Speaker 1: get Peter's healthy kick, Lane Johnson back over to the

519
00:22:32,880 --> 00:22:35,639
Speaker 1: right side. You get better at two spots. Um. I

520
00:22:35,640 --> 00:22:38,320
Speaker 1: think you'll see some things there. You saw Alshon Jeffrey

521
00:22:38,320 --> 00:22:40,440
Speaker 1: get involved. Aghilor had a couple of nice catches there

522
00:22:40,440 --> 00:22:43,240
Speaker 1: in the slot um and then Corey Clement did a

523
00:22:43,320 --> 00:22:45,479
Speaker 1: nice job of running back. The underrafter rookie running back

524
00:22:45,480 --> 00:22:48,600
Speaker 1: out of Wisconsin. He played well for Buffalo. I know

525
00:22:48,600 --> 00:22:52,000
Speaker 1: everybody's gonna talk about this team struggling and you know, okay,

526
00:22:52,040 --> 00:22:54,040
Speaker 1: what are they gonna do offensively through the year and

527
00:22:54,080 --> 00:22:56,360
Speaker 1: they have no receivers that set in the other Shady

528
00:22:56,400 --> 00:22:59,560
Speaker 1: McCoy looked good last night. He looked really good. So

529
00:23:00,000 --> 00:23:01,680
Speaker 1: know of if any of the any of our listeners,

530
00:23:01,680 --> 00:23:03,800
Speaker 1: I'm sure some of them are fantasy football folks. Even

531
00:23:03,800 --> 00:23:06,160
Speaker 1: though that's gonna be a bad football team. Uh, Sean

532
00:23:06,200 --> 00:23:08,200
Speaker 1: McCoy is gonna have a big year. You know, it's

533
00:23:08,200 --> 00:23:10,760
Speaker 1: tough because when you look at the Buffalo Bills and

534
00:23:11,000 --> 00:23:13,080
Speaker 1: you think about the players that have Sammy Watkins was

535
00:23:13,160 --> 00:23:15,639
Speaker 1: an explosive threat. They chose to let him go. Ronald

536
00:23:15,680 --> 00:23:17,920
Speaker 1: Darby obviously, at you know, his rookie year, he was

537
00:23:17,960 --> 00:23:20,840
Speaker 1: considered one of the best cornerbacks in the business. They'd

538
00:23:20,840 --> 00:23:23,480
Speaker 1: like to get rid of those guys, and in my estimation,

539
00:23:23,520 --> 00:23:25,760
Speaker 1: they're trying to build more of a blue collar team

540
00:23:26,040 --> 00:23:28,119
Speaker 1: that is kind of built in the mold of their

541
00:23:28,160 --> 00:23:32,320
Speaker 1: head coach Sean McDermott. The tricky thing about going that route,

542
00:23:32,320 --> 00:23:34,639
Speaker 1: and i've obviously he comes from Caroline. He kind of

543
00:23:34,680 --> 00:23:38,080
Speaker 1: saw it successfully work offensively when they went to Super

544
00:23:38,119 --> 00:23:41,280
Speaker 1: Bowl fifty. But defensively, that defense was the dominant defense

545
00:23:41,320 --> 00:23:43,359
Speaker 1: with the linebacker core Thomas Davis, Luke Keikley, some of

546
00:23:43,400 --> 00:23:46,160
Speaker 1: the other guys, Josh Norman, those guys that play well.

547
00:23:46,520 --> 00:23:49,760
Speaker 1: When I look at the Bills, I just don't know offensively,

548
00:23:50,119 --> 00:23:52,840
Speaker 1: who scares you outside of Shady McCoy. And if you

549
00:23:52,880 --> 00:23:55,439
Speaker 1: don't have anyone on the outside that scares you, you

550
00:23:55,520 --> 00:23:57,600
Speaker 1: dropped eight in the box, maybe nine in the box.

551
00:23:57,800 --> 00:24:00,600
Speaker 1: I just don't know how Shady McCoy exists. And with

552
00:24:00,960 --> 00:24:03,920
Speaker 1: Tyrod Taylor your quarterback, and I don't think we will

553
00:24:03,920 --> 00:24:06,919
Speaker 1: say that Tyrod Taylor is an elite quarterback, so he

554
00:24:06,960 --> 00:24:10,200
Speaker 1: needs to have the pieces around him to succeed. They

555
00:24:10,240 --> 00:24:13,320
Speaker 1: have robbed him of all those pieces. And so I

556
00:24:13,359 --> 00:24:15,400
Speaker 1: hate to say this, but maybe what we saw last

557
00:24:15,480 --> 00:24:17,800
Speaker 1: night might be what we will see for most of

558
00:24:17,840 --> 00:24:20,800
Speaker 1: the season from that offense. And then the question becomes

559
00:24:21,119 --> 00:24:23,880
Speaker 1: is his defense good enough to keep them in games. Look,

560
00:24:23,920 --> 00:24:25,440
Speaker 1: they're gonna The good thing is they have a good

561
00:24:25,440 --> 00:24:28,520
Speaker 1: offensive line. Shady Shady is really good. He's gonna be

562
00:24:28,520 --> 00:24:30,040
Speaker 1: able to pop some here and there, even when he

563
00:24:30,080 --> 00:24:32,960
Speaker 1: sees a loaded box. I still think he's His vision

564
00:24:33,000 --> 00:24:34,879
Speaker 1: is so good, he is so explosed, so he'll be

565
00:24:34,880 --> 00:24:38,000
Speaker 1: able to decrease and get some plays there. And then

566
00:24:38,040 --> 00:24:40,479
Speaker 1: throwing the football. I mean, god was a Jones made

567
00:24:40,480 --> 00:24:42,680
Speaker 1: a couple of nice plays for him. Some upside there

568
00:24:42,720 --> 00:24:45,640
Speaker 1: with him Um and Kwan Bolden though you know, look,

569
00:24:45,640 --> 00:24:47,879
Speaker 1: he's he's gonna catch everything you throw to him, but

570
00:24:48,000 --> 00:24:50,520
Speaker 1: he's not getting away from anybody out there, and they

571
00:24:50,520 --> 00:24:53,240
Speaker 1: don't have one that can separate. So Jones is going

572
00:24:53,280 --> 00:24:54,960
Speaker 1: to be their deep threat. Like who is going to

573
00:24:55,000 --> 00:24:57,800
Speaker 1: be no easy throws. The easy throws in this offense

574
00:24:57,840 --> 00:25:00,200
Speaker 1: are gonna be screens. To Shawn McCoy that it's the

575
00:25:00,240 --> 00:25:02,680
Speaker 1: only place you can find easy completions. So anyways, I

576
00:25:02,680 --> 00:25:04,200
Speaker 1: think it's gonna be a long air for the Bills.

577
00:25:04,240 --> 00:25:06,600
Speaker 1: But I am still bullish on on a Shawn McCoy. Alright,

578
00:25:06,600 --> 00:25:10,160
Speaker 1: Cutler's debut buck anything stand out to you there? I thought,

579
00:25:10,240 --> 00:25:12,080
Speaker 1: was he look a couple of nice throws, a nice

580
00:25:12,080 --> 00:25:14,440
Speaker 1: little play action hit the little skinny post there to

581
00:25:14,640 --> 00:25:18,080
Speaker 1: DeVante Parker. UH missed a couple others, kind of what

582
00:25:18,160 --> 00:25:20,360
Speaker 1: you'd expect with a little bit Rusty needs to UH

583
00:25:20,480 --> 00:25:21,760
Speaker 1: needs to get a little more work here with this

584
00:25:21,800 --> 00:25:24,240
Speaker 1: team to get comfortable. Yeah, but I'm encouraged by jakel

585
00:25:24,280 --> 00:25:26,280
Speaker 1: to going to Miami. I think it's actually a great fit.

586
00:25:26,320 --> 00:25:28,960
Speaker 1: I think this is the best UH supporting cast that

587
00:25:29,000 --> 00:25:31,159
Speaker 1: he's had in his career, and I think that's in

588
00:25:31,200 --> 00:25:33,240
Speaker 1: a lot when he's played in Chicago with Aushan Jeffrey

589
00:25:33,280 --> 00:25:36,159
Speaker 1: and Brandon Marshall. What I like about the Dolphins offense

590
00:25:36,200 --> 00:25:39,280
Speaker 1: and their wide receiver corps in particular, they are talented,

591
00:25:39,640 --> 00:25:43,640
Speaker 1: they're versatile, and they're explosive. Um, DeVante park is really

592
00:25:43,680 --> 00:25:46,280
Speaker 1: going to stay take a big step this year running

593
00:25:46,280 --> 00:25:48,840
Speaker 1: the routes. There's a play that they had called back,

594
00:25:48,840 --> 00:25:51,520
Speaker 1: but Jay Cole steps up kind of fires a rocket

595
00:25:52,320 --> 00:25:54,520
Speaker 1: down the sideline to Davanta Parker kts he gets Uh.

596
00:25:54,560 --> 00:25:56,679
Speaker 1: There's a penalty that brings it back, but he and

597
00:25:56,760 --> 00:25:58,560
Speaker 1: Kenny Steels. I think both of those guys have the

598
00:25:58,560 --> 00:26:00,760
Speaker 1: ability to take the top off the dfense. Then with

599
00:26:00,880 --> 00:26:02,760
Speaker 1: Jarvis Land you work in the middle of the field,

600
00:26:02,960 --> 00:26:05,919
Speaker 1: and also Julius Thomas, who can be a red zone weapon.

601
00:26:06,480 --> 00:26:08,840
Speaker 1: Jay Cutler has plenty of weapons and with Jay Job

602
00:26:08,840 --> 00:26:10,960
Speaker 1: behind them, they can run the football. It's just a

603
00:26:11,000 --> 00:26:13,720
Speaker 1: matter of Jay being comfortable and Jay really adhering to

604
00:26:13,760 --> 00:26:16,879
Speaker 1: the premise of playing winning football, avoid the risky throws,

605
00:26:17,119 --> 00:26:19,600
Speaker 1: allow his guys to work. The Dolphins should be fine

606
00:26:19,640 --> 00:26:22,200
Speaker 1: because I believe Jay Cutler is a huge upgrade over

607
00:26:22,200 --> 00:26:25,120
Speaker 1: what Ryan Tannehill was. Yeah, no, I think I think,

608
00:26:25,200 --> 00:26:27,359
Speaker 1: you know, there's there's a chance this offense could be really,

609
00:26:27,359 --> 00:26:29,960
Speaker 1: really explosive with what they have on the outside and

610
00:26:29,960 --> 00:26:32,119
Speaker 1: and with Cutler's familiarity. I just think he missed a

611
00:26:32,119 --> 00:26:34,080
Speaker 1: couple throws. You won't see him miss once he's had

612
00:26:34,119 --> 00:26:35,960
Speaker 1: a little more time under his belt to get comfortable

613
00:26:36,000 --> 00:26:39,560
Speaker 1: there and get reacclimated being on a football field. But

614
00:26:40,000 --> 00:26:43,720
Speaker 1: Baltimore's defense in that game, the front, maybe many people

615
00:26:43,720 --> 00:26:46,560
Speaker 1: aren't familiar with some of these names. Matt Judean uh

616
00:26:46,760 --> 00:26:49,840
Speaker 1: Urban out there. They had some guys that pushed the

617
00:26:49,840 --> 00:26:52,920
Speaker 1: line of scrimmage against the pretty good offensive line and

618
00:26:53,080 --> 00:26:55,439
Speaker 1: uh the corners, Jimmy Smith played really, really well. I

619
00:26:55,440 --> 00:26:57,359
Speaker 1: think they've got a really good secondary. We look at

620
00:26:57,400 --> 00:27:00,720
Speaker 1: the safety position with Well and Jefferson, and you've got

621
00:27:01,040 --> 00:27:03,240
Speaker 1: you know, hopefully Marlin Humphre you can get healthy and

622
00:27:03,240 --> 00:27:05,680
Speaker 1: and have a good, good run for this football team.

623
00:27:05,840 --> 00:27:07,600
Speaker 1: But you've already got Brandon carl on the other side

624
00:27:07,680 --> 00:27:09,320
Speaker 1: right now. So they've got a lot of depth and

625
00:27:09,359 --> 00:27:11,120
Speaker 1: a lot of talent on this defense. I just think

626
00:27:11,160 --> 00:27:14,040
Speaker 1: some of the names maybe people aren't a familiarized with

627
00:27:14,080 --> 00:27:16,680
Speaker 1: in terms of being Ravens, but man, this is still

628
00:27:17,000 --> 00:27:19,320
Speaker 1: a good group. Brandon Williams did a nice job pushing

629
00:27:19,359 --> 00:27:22,080
Speaker 1: the pocket who just got paid on the defensive front. Uh,

630
00:27:22,480 --> 00:27:25,359
Speaker 1: Mosley's out there running around. So this team, I don't know.

631
00:27:25,560 --> 00:27:27,199
Speaker 1: You know, people kind of think they've lost their way

632
00:27:27,200 --> 00:27:28,920
Speaker 1: a little bit. They haven't been able to run the football,

633
00:27:28,920 --> 00:27:31,159
Speaker 1: have come past happy, But I think they're going to

634
00:27:31,240 --> 00:27:32,800
Speaker 1: have one of the better defenses they've had in the

635
00:27:32,880 --> 00:27:35,880
Speaker 1: last few years, you know, if they can continue to

636
00:27:35,920 --> 00:27:39,800
Speaker 1: stay with the Ravens way. And you obviously worked there.

637
00:27:39,800 --> 00:27:42,399
Speaker 1: But my estimation from the outside in is this is

638
00:27:42,400 --> 00:27:44,760
Speaker 1: a team that should be built around your defense, built

639
00:27:44,800 --> 00:27:47,280
Speaker 1: around a tough, rugged running game, and then the passing

640
00:27:47,280 --> 00:27:49,600
Speaker 1: game comes after that. If they kind of stick to

641
00:27:49,680 --> 00:27:52,679
Speaker 1: those principles, the Baltimore Ravens can win a ton of games.

642
00:27:53,040 --> 00:27:56,960
Speaker 1: If they skew more towards being a pass heavy team

643
00:27:57,000 --> 00:28:00,080
Speaker 1: with Joe Flacco who can't be prone to turn in

644
00:28:00,160 --> 00:28:02,720
Speaker 1: the ball over, they won't win as many games as

645
00:28:02,760 --> 00:28:05,879
Speaker 1: this roster looks like they can win on paper because

646
00:28:05,920 --> 00:28:08,560
Speaker 1: defensively they can go toe to toe with anybody. They're

647
00:28:08,560 --> 00:28:11,120
Speaker 1: a hard nosed team and they're being able to run

648
00:28:11,160 --> 00:28:12,800
Speaker 1: the football. And the guy that I'm gonna tell you

649
00:28:12,840 --> 00:28:17,639
Speaker 1: to keep your eye on Smoke Mazelle Takwa Mazelle from Virginia.

650
00:28:18,119 --> 00:28:20,359
Speaker 1: He is someone that is an undrafted free agent, but

651
00:28:20,440 --> 00:28:23,000
Speaker 1: he got a little something to him as a runner

652
00:28:23,160 --> 00:28:25,320
Speaker 1: and the ability to catch the ball out the backfield.

653
00:28:25,880 --> 00:28:27,680
Speaker 1: I expect him to make the team and I think

654
00:28:27,720 --> 00:28:29,040
Speaker 1: he might be a guy that can kind of work

655
00:28:29,119 --> 00:28:31,520
Speaker 1: his way into contention. Has really been a contributor to season.

656
00:28:32,000 --> 00:28:33,680
Speaker 1: I like that you dropping nuggets on us like that.

657
00:28:33,720 --> 00:28:35,600
Speaker 1: All right, Buck, let's go through the games that we

658
00:28:35,640 --> 00:28:37,520
Speaker 1: have coming up this weekend and just kind of one

659
00:28:37,560 --> 00:28:40,440
Speaker 1: thing that that I'm looking for here. You can piggyback

660
00:28:40,480 --> 00:28:41,880
Speaker 1: that or if you've got something else you're keeping an

661
00:28:41,920 --> 00:28:43,800
Speaker 1: eye on. Throw it out there. Uh, start with the game.

662
00:28:43,800 --> 00:28:46,960
Speaker 1: I'm gonna be at is Rams Raiders. Look Sammy Watkins,

663
00:28:47,000 --> 00:28:48,800
Speaker 1: get a chance to see him out there with Jared Goff.

664
00:28:48,840 --> 00:28:51,080
Speaker 1: Can he get comfortable and and can he open up

665
00:28:51,080 --> 00:28:52,680
Speaker 1: this offense a little bit? They did not run the

666
00:28:52,680 --> 00:28:56,000
Speaker 1: ball well last week with girly Um. Maybe you can

667
00:28:56,040 --> 00:28:58,400
Speaker 1: get some things going vertically down the field, create a

668
00:28:58,440 --> 00:29:00,800
Speaker 1: little more space. Helped us running game, help this quarterback

669
00:29:00,840 --> 00:29:03,040
Speaker 1: go on. I'm excited to see Sammy Watkins and see

670
00:29:03,080 --> 00:29:04,720
Speaker 1: what he looks like for the Rams against the Raiders.

671
00:29:04,840 --> 00:29:06,480
Speaker 1: I think it's a great move. I think what Sean

672
00:29:06,600 --> 00:29:10,240
Speaker 1: McVeigh has done in l A, he's recreated what he

673
00:29:10,280 --> 00:29:13,400
Speaker 1: had in Washington on the perimeter. Uh, Sammy Watkins can

674
00:29:13,440 --> 00:29:16,120
Speaker 1: play to de Sean Jackson role. Robert Woods can be

675
00:29:16,200 --> 00:29:20,280
Speaker 1: the Pierre Garson. Cooper Cup is now Jamison Crowder. You're

676
00:29:20,360 --> 00:29:23,720
Speaker 1: tight ends either one of them, Tyler Higbee or Jared Everett.

677
00:29:23,880 --> 00:29:26,160
Speaker 1: One of those guys will play the Jordan Reed role.

678
00:29:26,400 --> 00:29:29,680
Speaker 1: And then the X factor really is Tavon Austin. And

679
00:29:29,760 --> 00:29:31,880
Speaker 1: I believe, for whatever reason, I don't have any insight

680
00:29:32,160 --> 00:29:34,960
Speaker 1: But in my head, I'm thinking Tavon Austin would be

681
00:29:34,960 --> 00:29:37,520
Speaker 1: a nice change of pace back or third down weapon

682
00:29:37,560 --> 00:29:40,760
Speaker 1: out the backfield. Maybe they use some of the skills

683
00:29:40,800 --> 00:29:43,240
Speaker 1: that he displayed at West Virginia and find a way

684
00:29:43,280 --> 00:29:46,680
Speaker 1: to use him as a matchup player against linebackers. I

685
00:29:46,680 --> 00:29:48,920
Speaker 1: don't know, just taking it playing the video game. I

686
00:29:48,920 --> 00:29:50,560
Speaker 1: think that would be a nice mix for him. But

687
00:29:50,680 --> 00:29:54,080
Speaker 1: I do believe they've given Jared Golf some weapons and

688
00:29:54,200 --> 00:29:56,560
Speaker 1: if this defense can get back to playing the way

689
00:29:56,560 --> 00:29:58,360
Speaker 1: that we think that they're gonna play, particularly when Aaron

690
00:29:58,400 --> 00:30:01,400
Speaker 1: Donald gets back, I'm in urge by what I'm seeing

691
00:30:01,480 --> 00:30:03,240
Speaker 1: or what I think I will see from the l

692
00:30:03,280 --> 00:30:06,520
Speaker 1: a Rams Tavon Woodhead, I like. I like your thinking

693
00:30:06,600 --> 00:30:09,840
Speaker 1: right there. I like that. Let's let play around with him.

694
00:30:10,240 --> 00:30:12,920
Speaker 1: Madden comes out, will make that happen. Let's go Uh,

695
00:30:13,040 --> 00:30:17,440
Speaker 1: Let's go Carolina, tennessee. Uh. Christian McCaffrey, that's the one

696
00:30:17,480 --> 00:30:20,160
Speaker 1: I'm looking. I'm selfish looking forward to seeing what he's doing. Yeah,

697
00:30:20,160 --> 00:30:22,600
Speaker 1: I want to see Christi McCaffrey. Last week they showcased

698
00:30:22,640 --> 00:30:25,040
Speaker 1: him as a runner. How about this we just give

699
00:30:24,840 --> 00:30:26,920
Speaker 1: get the football fans a little taste of what he

700
00:30:26,960 --> 00:30:29,479
Speaker 1: can do in the passing game. Let's let's split him out.

701
00:30:29,600 --> 00:30:31,680
Speaker 1: Let's you know, let's let him do what he does

702
00:30:31,840 --> 00:30:33,800
Speaker 1: in the open field. I want to see that. The

703
00:30:33,800 --> 00:30:36,160
Speaker 1: other thing I want to see, let's hope that Marcus

704
00:30:36,200 --> 00:30:38,080
Speaker 1: Mariota gets a little more playing time. I want to

705
00:30:38,080 --> 00:30:39,920
Speaker 1: see how he's continuing to jail with those guys on

706
00:30:39,960 --> 00:30:44,200
Speaker 1: the outside. Can they get this passing game on tracked.

707
00:30:44,240 --> 00:30:46,200
Speaker 1: Because they can run the ball. We know they're gonna

708
00:30:46,200 --> 00:30:48,160
Speaker 1: be able to run the ball and smash down the field.

709
00:30:48,160 --> 00:30:50,360
Speaker 1: But for them to take that next step in the development,

710
00:30:50,480 --> 00:30:52,000
Speaker 1: they need to be a little more explosive in the

711
00:30:52,040 --> 00:30:54,040
Speaker 1: passing game. Let's see if some of these young guys

712
00:30:54,120 --> 00:30:57,760
Speaker 1: can step up and make some plays for Marcus. Kansas City, Cincinnati.

713
00:30:57,880 --> 00:30:59,520
Speaker 1: To me, it's all about my homes. Let's see a

714
00:30:59,520 --> 00:31:01,560
Speaker 1: little bit more Mahomes. I want to see that. Look.

715
00:31:01,640 --> 00:31:03,880
Speaker 1: Let's I know, I know he's he's comfortable. You can

716
00:31:03,880 --> 00:31:05,800
Speaker 1: throw bubbles and get him going on on that stuff,

717
00:31:05,800 --> 00:31:07,760
Speaker 1: get him on the move. I want to see Mahomes

718
00:31:07,760 --> 00:31:11,160
Speaker 1: settle in that pocket, get through a progression and stick

719
00:31:11,240 --> 00:31:13,480
Speaker 1: some balls on people on tight windows. That that, to me,

720
00:31:13,520 --> 00:31:15,400
Speaker 1: I want to see the progression from week one to

721
00:31:15,440 --> 00:31:17,880
Speaker 1: week two. Everybody's excited about the arm strength, no question.

722
00:31:17,880 --> 00:31:20,080
Speaker 1: I thought his feet were improved, Bucky. Now I want

723
00:31:20,080 --> 00:31:21,960
Speaker 1: to see this kid play in the pocket and really

724
00:31:21,960 --> 00:31:23,720
Speaker 1: really pushed the ball down the field. It's a lot

725
00:31:23,760 --> 00:31:26,880
Speaker 1: to ask in his second preseason games, but man, he's

726
00:31:26,880 --> 00:31:28,280
Speaker 1: created a lot of buzz and a lot of hype,

727
00:31:28,320 --> 00:31:30,080
Speaker 1: and I want to see him go from step one

728
00:31:30,080 --> 00:31:31,800
Speaker 1: to step two here in the second week. Yeah, I

729
00:31:31,800 --> 00:31:33,480
Speaker 1: absolutely want to see that. I want to see him

730
00:31:33,760 --> 00:31:36,320
Speaker 1: continue to grow up and graduate and play what we

731
00:31:36,360 --> 00:31:38,560
Speaker 1: call big boy football. Let's make some big boy throws.

732
00:31:38,720 --> 00:31:40,800
Speaker 1: Let's push the ball down the field. Let's get away

733
00:31:40,800 --> 00:31:43,200
Speaker 1: from the the layoups that he was able to use

734
00:31:43,280 --> 00:31:46,240
Speaker 1: in the first game. Let's see how he continues to progress. Because,

735
00:31:46,760 --> 00:31:48,720
Speaker 1: make no mistake about it, they can see the Chiefs

736
00:31:48,720 --> 00:31:51,440
Speaker 1: are looking to see how Patrick Mahomes progresses throughout the

737
00:31:51,440 --> 00:31:54,120
Speaker 1: preseason and on the practice field to make a determination

738
00:31:54,120 --> 00:31:56,880
Speaker 1: what they want to do in eighteen. He teased us

739
00:31:56,880 --> 00:31:58,560
Speaker 1: a little bit, Let's see if he can continue it.

740
00:31:58,680 --> 00:32:01,480
Speaker 1: And then on Cincinnati side, I want to continue to

741
00:32:01,520 --> 00:32:04,080
Speaker 1: see these young guys that they've added to the mix.

742
00:32:04,480 --> 00:32:07,840
Speaker 1: Joe mixing Josh Malone has been good. Maybe we'll get

743
00:32:07,840 --> 00:32:10,560
Speaker 1: a chance to see Ross on the outside. They are

744
00:32:10,600 --> 00:32:13,440
Speaker 1: far more explosive than they've been last year. Let's see

745
00:32:13,440 --> 00:32:15,920
Speaker 1: if these young guys can make an impression that leads

746
00:32:15,960 --> 00:32:17,800
Speaker 1: us to believe that this offense can get back on track.

747
00:32:18,200 --> 00:32:21,520
Speaker 1: All right, let's roll through these next ones here, Dallas Cowboys.

748
00:32:21,600 --> 00:32:23,360
Speaker 1: To me, I want to see this offensive line. I

749
00:32:23,400 --> 00:32:26,360
Speaker 1: know they're replacing a couple of pieces. Can this offensive

750
00:32:26,400 --> 00:32:29,520
Speaker 1: line be consistent? Uh, talk about some of the new

751
00:32:29,520 --> 00:32:32,000
Speaker 1: pieces you have in place? Byron Bell last week against

752
00:32:32,000 --> 00:32:34,000
Speaker 1: the Rams, I thought he struggled a little bit. Um.

753
00:32:34,320 --> 00:32:37,120
Speaker 1: I also thought that Lyle Collins, who just got some money,

754
00:32:37,160 --> 00:32:39,960
Speaker 1: he struggled a little bit, especially in past protection. Um.

755
00:32:40,000 --> 00:32:41,600
Speaker 1: So I want to see this offensive line, see if

756
00:32:41,600 --> 00:32:44,080
Speaker 1: they can put on a better performance this week. Yeah.

757
00:32:44,080 --> 00:32:45,320
Speaker 1: For me, I want to go on to the other side.

758
00:32:45,360 --> 00:32:47,520
Speaker 1: I need to see Scott Tolzine make a play. I

759
00:32:47,560 --> 00:32:50,400
Speaker 1: need to see Scott Tolzine show us that he can

760
00:32:50,600 --> 00:32:53,120
Speaker 1: can can make some things happen, because if he has

761
00:32:53,160 --> 00:32:56,360
Speaker 1: to start in place of Andrew Luck, it could be

762
00:32:56,400 --> 00:32:57,800
Speaker 1: a problem. We need to make sure that this guy

763
00:32:57,840 --> 00:33:00,560
Speaker 1: can play. That's that's a good one there, right. I'm

764
00:33:00,560 --> 00:33:02,280
Speaker 1: gonna give you. I'll give you the floor on this

765
00:33:02,320 --> 00:33:05,640
Speaker 1: next one here, because we've got Green Bay and Washington.

766
00:33:06,160 --> 00:33:08,160
Speaker 1: Um anything that jumps out to you on that one,

767
00:33:08,160 --> 00:33:10,160
Speaker 1: but you know green Bay. For me, I want to

768
00:33:10,200 --> 00:33:12,880
Speaker 1: see Jamal Williams. I want to see what Williams get

769
00:33:12,880 --> 00:33:15,400
Speaker 1: an opportunity to run the football. He is has an

770
00:33:15,440 --> 00:33:17,680
Speaker 1: opportunity to Montgomery, maybe a little deaned up. This is

771
00:33:17,680 --> 00:33:19,640
Speaker 1: an opportunity for him not only to work his way

772
00:33:19,680 --> 00:33:22,840
Speaker 1: to the rotation, maybe he can be in consideration as

773
00:33:22,840 --> 00:33:25,120
Speaker 1: a starter. I want to see how he plays. Brett

774
00:33:25,200 --> 00:33:26,760
Speaker 1: Hunley to me is another one. I want to see

775
00:33:27,240 --> 00:33:29,360
Speaker 1: can he show some things in this football game? Because

776
00:33:29,400 --> 00:33:32,360
Speaker 1: a team like Jacksonville Buck, you know, maybe looking for

777
00:33:32,480 --> 00:33:35,200
Speaker 1: to add another quarterback into the mix. I would kick

778
00:33:35,240 --> 00:33:37,000
Speaker 1: the tires on somebody like Brett Hunley. Let's see what

779
00:33:37,040 --> 00:33:38,640
Speaker 1: he looks like in this game. So I'm going to

780
00:33:38,760 --> 00:33:41,760
Speaker 1: keep an eye on there. Greg Robinson. Uh, I had

781
00:33:41,760 --> 00:33:43,719
Speaker 1: not had a chance to study that game yet. Everything

782
00:33:43,760 --> 00:33:45,600
Speaker 1: that that your Reid said that he held up okay

783
00:33:45,640 --> 00:33:47,560
Speaker 1: for Detroit after a change of scenery, a guy that

784
00:33:47,600 --> 00:33:50,640
Speaker 1: we all knew was infinitely talented just didn't happen for him.

785
00:33:50,640 --> 00:33:52,800
Speaker 1: With the Rams, He's gonna have to He's gonna have

786
00:33:52,840 --> 00:33:54,760
Speaker 1: to fill in. Now when you've got Taylor Decker out

787
00:33:55,360 --> 00:33:57,520
Speaker 1: for a few games this season, they're gonna need him

788
00:33:57,560 --> 00:33:59,960
Speaker 1: in Detroit. I want to see him against the Jet

789
00:34:00,160 --> 00:34:03,080
Speaker 1: front that does have some talented pieces there. Yeah. Absolutely,

790
00:34:03,080 --> 00:34:04,920
Speaker 1: you want to see how he performs, how he responds

791
00:34:04,960 --> 00:34:07,240
Speaker 1: to the challenge and the opportunity. Uh, this is a

792
00:34:07,240 --> 00:34:09,480
Speaker 1: big opportunity for him. He has an opportunity to get

793
00:34:09,480 --> 00:34:11,359
Speaker 1: on the field and start. Let's see if he can

794
00:34:11,400 --> 00:34:12,680
Speaker 1: dust all some of the talent that made him the

795
00:34:12,680 --> 00:34:15,040
Speaker 1: second overall pick when he came out. All right, now,

796
00:34:15,160 --> 00:34:18,520
Speaker 1: next question. All right, let's go to Texans versus the Patriots.

797
00:34:18,600 --> 00:34:20,279
Speaker 1: This is kind of a bigger picture thing for me.

798
00:34:20,520 --> 00:34:24,160
Speaker 1: I want to see this Texans secondary, which is very talented, Uh,

799
00:34:24,400 --> 00:34:27,719
Speaker 1: take on this new England receiving corps that is diverse

800
00:34:27,840 --> 00:34:29,959
Speaker 1: and has a lot of different skill sets and can

801
00:34:30,000 --> 00:34:32,719
Speaker 1: get you really really quick. And it's not beyond Belichick

802
00:34:32,760 --> 00:34:34,800
Speaker 1: to let to let some of the starters go a

803
00:34:34,840 --> 00:34:36,600
Speaker 1: little bit here in the preseason, So we'll see what

804
00:34:36,600 --> 00:34:38,920
Speaker 1: happens there. I'm looking forward to watching that skill matchup.

805
00:34:38,960 --> 00:34:42,080
Speaker 1: I know that defensive front for Houston is filthy, but

806
00:34:42,239 --> 00:34:43,879
Speaker 1: Wade tom Brady get the ball out of his hands,

807
00:34:43,880 --> 00:34:45,319
Speaker 1: it's tough to get home. So I want to see

808
00:34:45,360 --> 00:34:47,799
Speaker 1: ken their secondary get up in these receivers and can

809
00:34:47,880 --> 00:34:49,799
Speaker 1: they compete. Yeah, I want to see that too, But

810
00:34:49,840 --> 00:34:52,480
Speaker 1: also want to see what Jimmy Garoppolo does. I know, Uh,

811
00:34:52,480 --> 00:34:53,960
Speaker 1: we're talking about a guy. He has only played two

812
00:34:53,960 --> 00:34:56,319
Speaker 1: regular season games, but he's been the start of the preseason.

813
00:34:56,600 --> 00:34:58,040
Speaker 1: As we continue to get to the end of the

814
00:34:58,080 --> 00:35:00,359
Speaker 1: preseason when people get the game plan, I just want

815
00:35:00,360 --> 00:35:03,759
Speaker 1: to continue to see Jimmy Garoppolo shine because the more

816
00:35:03,800 --> 00:35:05,920
Speaker 1: he shines, the more everyone is inclined to think that

817
00:35:05,920 --> 00:35:09,239
Speaker 1: he can be a franchise quarterback. All Right, Trubisky Round

818
00:35:09,239 --> 00:35:13,680
Speaker 1: two versus the Arizona Cardinals. Uh, sharp sharp last week

819
00:35:13,719 --> 00:35:15,520
Speaker 1: and keep it going. Yeah, this is a big test

820
00:35:15,520 --> 00:35:17,160
Speaker 1: for him because the one thing that we know about

821
00:35:17,160 --> 00:35:18,680
Speaker 1: the Arizona Cardinals they're gonna play man and man and

822
00:35:18,680 --> 00:35:20,640
Speaker 1: they're gonna blitz the snot out of you. So we

823
00:35:20,680 --> 00:35:24,040
Speaker 1: will get an opportunity to gauge his composure, his poise,

824
00:35:24,440 --> 00:35:27,560
Speaker 1: and his toughness. Kenny stare down the barrel of a

825
00:35:27,600 --> 00:35:30,480
Speaker 1: loaded gun, make the accurate throw to the players on

826
00:35:30,520 --> 00:35:32,760
Speaker 1: the outside. If he does that, I think he continues

827
00:35:32,800 --> 00:35:34,600
Speaker 1: to close the gap on Mike Lennon as their starter

828
00:35:35,400 --> 00:35:38,480
Speaker 1: Denver offensive line versus the San Francisco forty nine or

829
00:35:38,520 --> 00:35:40,239
Speaker 1: front seven that all of a sudden has got some

830
00:35:40,280 --> 00:35:42,920
Speaker 1: pretty salty members up there in that front of them. Yeah. Absolutely,

831
00:35:42,920 --> 00:35:45,320
Speaker 1: the San Francisco forty nine is played pretty good defense.

832
00:35:45,400 --> 00:35:47,560
Speaker 1: And uh, the guy that we both fell in love

833
00:35:47,640 --> 00:35:50,160
Speaker 1: with early in the process, not Solomon Thomas, but also

834
00:35:50,239 --> 00:35:52,960
Speaker 1: Ruben Foster. Ruben Foster goes later in the first round.

835
00:35:53,440 --> 00:35:55,880
Speaker 1: I think they might have gotten a bargain at the

836
00:35:55,920 --> 00:35:58,399
Speaker 1: bottom first round. This dude is a legitimate player. He's

837
00:35:58,440 --> 00:36:01,160
Speaker 1: a difference maker, tempo setter. They have some really intriguing

838
00:36:01,200 --> 00:36:03,440
Speaker 1: young pieces on their front seven. Let's see how they

839
00:36:03,480 --> 00:36:05,719
Speaker 1: stand up against the Denver Broncos team. They need to

840
00:36:05,719 --> 00:36:07,920
Speaker 1: be able to run it and let's see if Paxton

841
00:36:08,000 --> 00:36:12,080
Speaker 1: Lynch can do something to maybe nudge ahead of Trevis Simeon. Yeah,

842
00:36:12,200 --> 00:36:14,000
Speaker 1: my money I think is on Simeon in that battle.

843
00:36:14,000 --> 00:36:16,520
Speaker 1: All right. T J. Watt round to two sacks first week.

844
00:36:16,560 --> 00:36:18,920
Speaker 1: Now he gets to go up against the Atlanta Falcons.

845
00:36:19,080 --> 00:36:21,759
Speaker 1: Can he keep it rolling? Yeah, that's the interesting one.

846
00:36:21,760 --> 00:36:23,160
Speaker 1: I mean he had two sacks. One of those was

847
00:36:23,200 --> 00:36:25,440
Speaker 1: a gimme sack. But I think the thing that has

848
00:36:25,480 --> 00:36:27,799
Speaker 1: been interesting coming out of Pittsburgh still this camp. They

849
00:36:27,840 --> 00:36:30,400
Speaker 1: said that James Harrison is going to be the relief pitcher.

850
00:36:30,640 --> 00:36:32,319
Speaker 1: T J. Watt is going to be the starter, so

851
00:36:32,360 --> 00:36:35,120
Speaker 1: he's gonna get plenty of opportunities to rush the passer.

852
00:36:35,440 --> 00:36:38,279
Speaker 1: They will use Harrison and limited capacity hopefully going to

853
00:36:38,360 --> 00:36:40,880
Speaker 1: the regular season. Let's see if t J. Watt is

854
00:36:40,880 --> 00:36:42,840
Speaker 1: the real deal? Can he do it now that he

855
00:36:42,880 --> 00:36:46,040
Speaker 1: has everyone's attention On the other side of the ball, alright,

856
00:36:46,080 --> 00:36:47,400
Speaker 1: this one. Look, we always want to see how the

857
00:36:47,400 --> 00:36:49,239
Speaker 1: starters are doing in these games. That's what matters in

858
00:36:49,280 --> 00:36:50,840
Speaker 1: the long run. But to me, I want to test.

859
00:36:50,920 --> 00:36:52,920
Speaker 1: I want to see the test of the Chargers pride

860
00:36:52,920 --> 00:36:54,839
Speaker 1: on the defensive side of the ball. They gave up

861
00:36:54,880 --> 00:36:57,080
Speaker 1: a zillion points to the Seahawks last week. I know

862
00:36:57,120 --> 00:36:59,960
Speaker 1: it's primarily with their second third string, with their backups, Bucky.

863
00:37:00,400 --> 00:37:02,840
Speaker 1: They play the Saints, another dynamic offense. I don't know

864
00:37:02,800 --> 00:37:04,719
Speaker 1: how much we'll see a Drew Brees and company. But

865
00:37:04,760 --> 00:37:07,240
Speaker 1: I want to see Undergust Bradley what kind of pride

866
00:37:07,360 --> 00:37:09,839
Speaker 1: this group has as a whole for the Chargers. They

867
00:37:09,880 --> 00:37:12,600
Speaker 1: cannot get give up where they got forty seven points

868
00:37:12,600 --> 00:37:14,880
Speaker 1: in that game. That was embarrassing. So I want to

869
00:37:14,880 --> 00:37:18,080
Speaker 1: see how this Chargers defense response. It was absolutely embarrassing.

870
00:37:18,120 --> 00:37:20,040
Speaker 1: You know. The The interesting of the tough thing is

871
00:37:20,200 --> 00:37:23,040
Speaker 1: they played pretty well their opening drive. Philipers went right

872
00:37:23,040 --> 00:37:25,400
Speaker 1: down to field, UH found a way to find Antonio

873
00:37:25,440 --> 00:37:27,560
Speaker 1: Gates for a touchdown. You like those things if you're

874
00:37:27,560 --> 00:37:30,680
Speaker 1: anti Lynn. Defensively, they were okay early, but then the

875
00:37:30,680 --> 00:37:33,080
Speaker 1: wheels fell off and so and looking at some of

876
00:37:33,080 --> 00:37:34,880
Speaker 1: the reports and looking at some of the video that

877
00:37:34,920 --> 00:37:37,200
Speaker 1: we'll be able to see from the joint fract disssions

878
00:37:37,239 --> 00:37:39,640
Speaker 1: from the Saints and the Charges, it looked like the

879
00:37:39,680 --> 00:37:42,879
Speaker 1: Saints were continue to have their way. That is problematic

880
00:37:42,880 --> 00:37:44,879
Speaker 1: for a team that wants to play that single high

881
00:37:45,360 --> 00:37:48,480
Speaker 1: UH coverage that Gus Bradley may famous versus Seattle then

882
00:37:48,480 --> 00:37:52,000
Speaker 1: in Jacksonville. Alright, last one here, UH looking forward to

883
00:37:52,000 --> 00:37:54,080
Speaker 1: seeing the number one overall pick Myles Garrett going up

884
00:37:54,080 --> 00:37:56,640
Speaker 1: against the Giants offensive line that has some issues at tackle.

885
00:37:56,680 --> 00:37:58,560
Speaker 1: Bucky and I think this is UH. I'm gonna go

886
00:37:58,560 --> 00:38:00,280
Speaker 1: ahead and predict it, and you can save this audio,

887
00:38:00,320 --> 00:38:02,759
Speaker 1: so it probably won't happen. I'm gonna go ahead and

888
00:38:02,800 --> 00:38:05,880
Speaker 1: say that Myles Garrett will have the biggest highlight of

889
00:38:05,960 --> 00:38:08,600
Speaker 1: Week two. So you're gonna do something funky wow, some

890
00:38:08,760 --> 00:38:13,120
Speaker 1: splashy wow. That's that. I mean. Now, he won't play.

891
00:38:13,160 --> 00:38:15,439
Speaker 1: You watch you won't play, But that's mine. That's my guess.

892
00:38:15,480 --> 00:38:17,239
Speaker 1: It's funny you go talk about the pass rusher. I'm

893
00:38:17,239 --> 00:38:19,319
Speaker 1: gonna talk about the quarterbacks for the Cleveland Browns. Which

894
00:38:19,360 --> 00:38:21,799
Speaker 1: guy is in line to be the starting quarterback? Brock

895
00:38:21,800 --> 00:38:25,520
Speaker 1: Oswhalley gets another start? Um what you hear? Maybe they're

896
00:38:25,520 --> 00:38:28,040
Speaker 1: comfortable with him being the starter. I want to see

897
00:38:28,080 --> 00:38:30,799
Speaker 1: what Deshaun Kaiser does, Nanda. He has moved up to

898
00:38:30,880 --> 00:38:33,279
Speaker 1: number two in the rotation. This game he gets to

899
00:38:33,280 --> 00:38:36,399
Speaker 1: play against better competition. Kenny continue to build on what

900
00:38:36,440 --> 00:38:38,480
Speaker 1: he showed at the end of the game against the

901
00:38:38,480 --> 00:38:42,080
Speaker 1: Saints last week. If he does, it becomes really interesting

902
00:38:42,160 --> 00:38:44,400
Speaker 1: who Hugh Jackson elects to start in Week three of

903
00:38:44,440 --> 00:38:47,600
Speaker 1: the preseason. No question looking forward to UH to keep

904
00:38:47,600 --> 00:38:51,000
Speaker 1: an eye on that quarterback situation there with the Cleveland Browns, Bucky.

905
00:38:51,040 --> 00:38:52,759
Speaker 1: Before we get to an interview with one of the

906
00:38:52,960 --> 00:38:55,120
Speaker 1: under the radar players that we have in college football

907
00:38:55,160 --> 00:38:57,120
Speaker 1: this year, I want to go through my my recent

908
00:38:57,120 --> 00:38:58,799
Speaker 1: trip that I just took. Went out to Florida State

909
00:38:59,080 --> 00:39:01,160
Speaker 1: for a couple of days, had chance to spend some

910
00:39:01,200 --> 00:39:03,280
Speaker 1: time with their football team, talk to their football team.

911
00:39:03,600 --> 00:39:05,040
Speaker 1: But I got a chance to watch him practice for

912
00:39:05,080 --> 00:39:08,239
Speaker 1: a couple of days, which was awesome. Bucky, and this

913
00:39:08,280 --> 00:39:10,400
Speaker 1: is a team I don't know what the perception is

914
00:39:10,440 --> 00:39:12,400
Speaker 1: from the outside, but having a chance to get inside

915
00:39:12,400 --> 00:39:15,399
Speaker 1: this program for a couple of days, Jimbo Fisher doesn't

916
00:39:15,440 --> 00:39:20,399
Speaker 1: mess around. Man. That is a physical, physical, intense practice. Uh.

917
00:39:20,400 --> 00:39:21,840
Speaker 1: They mix it up pretty good out there. I know

918
00:39:21,880 --> 00:39:23,440
Speaker 1: they've got Alabama, it's going to be kind of the

919
00:39:23,440 --> 00:39:26,000
Speaker 1: game in the year week one, but this team has

920
00:39:26,040 --> 00:39:29,520
Speaker 1: a lot of speed on the outside, a lot of athletes. Um,

921
00:39:29,560 --> 00:39:32,480
Speaker 1: but man, I was impressed with just the operation that

922
00:39:32,600 --> 00:39:35,600
Speaker 1: Jimbo Fishers running there. This is organized and it was intense.

923
00:39:35,640 --> 00:39:37,400
Speaker 1: They were getting after it. You know, this is a

924
00:39:37,440 --> 00:39:39,600
Speaker 1: team that is always in the mix. And I can't

925
00:39:39,600 --> 00:39:41,840
Speaker 1: tell you how excited I am to see this opening

926
00:39:41,880 --> 00:39:44,520
Speaker 1: game Florida State Alabama is one of those things that

927
00:39:44,560 --> 00:39:47,399
Speaker 1: you normally wouldn't expect to see until the playoff time.

928
00:39:47,640 --> 00:39:50,760
Speaker 1: But to see two teams that are loaded with talent

929
00:39:50,960 --> 00:39:53,359
Speaker 1: on both sides of the ball, that is exactly what

930
00:39:53,400 --> 00:39:55,200
Speaker 1: you want to see. I want to see Sweat the

931
00:39:55,200 --> 00:39:58,120
Speaker 1: pass rusher from Florida State. I want to see if

932
00:39:58,160 --> 00:40:00,000
Speaker 1: he can be a legitimate guy, because he kind of

933
00:40:00,080 --> 00:40:03,080
Speaker 1: came oll late, he was hot. And then in Alabama

934
00:40:03,160 --> 00:40:05,040
Speaker 1: there's so many guys. But I had a scout telling

935
00:40:05,080 --> 00:40:09,279
Speaker 1: me this week that their defensive backfield is basically an

936
00:40:09,400 --> 00:40:12,920
Speaker 1: NFL football factory. All of these guys looked like they

937
00:40:13,000 --> 00:40:15,840
Speaker 1: just kind of come out of the mold, uh cookie cutter.

938
00:40:15,920 --> 00:40:18,040
Speaker 1: All of them are six one six too long, arms,

939
00:40:18,239 --> 00:40:20,799
Speaker 1: can play multiple positions in the back end. And so

940
00:40:20,920 --> 00:40:22,600
Speaker 1: if you're an NFL team and you're looking for a

941
00:40:22,640 --> 00:40:26,120
Speaker 1: defensive back, you have to go to Alabama. And they

942
00:40:26,160 --> 00:40:30,480
Speaker 1: tell me that Minca Fitzpatrick might be the best defensive

943
00:40:30,480 --> 00:40:32,560
Speaker 1: back that we will see in college football outside of

944
00:40:32,640 --> 00:40:35,920
Speaker 1: Dorman James. Yeah, that's that's interesting, you know, it's I

945
00:40:36,040 --> 00:40:37,879
Speaker 1: was there were probably five or six different scouts there

946
00:40:37,880 --> 00:40:39,279
Speaker 1: over a couple of days that I was at Florida State.

947
00:40:39,280 --> 00:40:40,400
Speaker 1: You got a chance to talk with a bunch of

948
00:40:40,400 --> 00:40:42,560
Speaker 1: those guys, and uh, one of the one of the

949
00:40:42,640 --> 00:40:44,719
Speaker 1: names they mentioned from Alabama as they just said, look

950
00:40:44,960 --> 00:40:47,560
Speaker 1: all these defensive tackles they've produced over the last few years,

951
00:40:47,960 --> 00:40:51,200
Speaker 1: Uh Payne drown Payne is better than all and he's

952
00:40:51,200 --> 00:40:52,880
Speaker 1: a guy that hasn't been getting as much attention. So

953
00:40:52,920 --> 00:40:54,719
Speaker 1: that's a name keep an eye on in that game.

954
00:40:54,760 --> 00:40:56,520
Speaker 1: But I'm gonna give you two names from Florida State

955
00:40:56,760 --> 00:40:58,319
Speaker 1: that you need to know when you watch this game

956
00:40:58,440 --> 00:41:01,279
Speaker 1: against Alabama. First one, well, first of all, everybody knows

957
00:41:01,280 --> 00:41:04,040
Speaker 1: Dermy James the best player on the field as advertised

958
00:41:04,400 --> 00:41:06,440
Speaker 1: big time, and they love him at the school. Does

959
00:41:06,480 --> 00:41:10,200
Speaker 1: everything the right way. He's he's easy. Uh. Brian Burns,

960
00:41:10,480 --> 00:41:13,600
Speaker 1: sophomore defensive end. He's six five, he's about two hundred

961
00:41:13,640 --> 00:41:15,719
Speaker 1: twenty I don't know what two twenty something pounds. He's

962
00:41:15,760 --> 00:41:17,719
Speaker 1: long and lean. I think he had nine sacks as

963
00:41:17,760 --> 00:41:20,480
Speaker 1: a true freshman last year. They couldn't block him. I

964
00:41:20,480 --> 00:41:22,440
Speaker 1: mean they could not block him. The two days I

965
00:41:22,480 --> 00:41:24,400
Speaker 1: was there, he was dominant. So keep an eye on him.

966
00:41:24,440 --> 00:41:26,719
Speaker 1: He could mess things up a little bit for that

967
00:41:26,800 --> 00:41:29,680
Speaker 1: Alabama offense. And then on the offensive side of the ball,

968
00:41:30,280 --> 00:41:32,839
Speaker 1: everybody knows they got a big time freshman. Uh, that's

969
00:41:32,840 --> 00:41:34,840
Speaker 1: in the mix now and cam Makers it's you know,

970
00:41:34,960 --> 00:41:36,640
Speaker 1: Bucky from the opening is a big time talent. But

971
00:41:36,640 --> 00:41:40,000
Speaker 1: I'm gonna give you a guy that's a junior receiver. Uh.

972
00:41:40,040 --> 00:41:45,120
Speaker 1: He's number eighteen audent, eight six five pounds. He is beautiful.

973
00:41:45,200 --> 00:41:47,040
Speaker 1: I mean he looks like Mike Evans on the hoof.

974
00:41:47,080 --> 00:41:49,640
Speaker 1: He is beautiful and he can go get it. Uh.

975
00:41:50,000 --> 00:41:51,879
Speaker 1: Just one of those guys. When he's covered, he's still open,

976
00:41:51,960 --> 00:41:55,160
Speaker 1: huge catch radius. He's not a blazer, but he's plenty

977
00:41:55,160 --> 00:41:57,839
Speaker 1: fast enough, and I think he's he's got some big

978
00:41:57,880 --> 00:42:00,399
Speaker 1: things in store for him this year. So nine nine

979
00:42:00,719 --> 00:42:04,160
Speaker 1: defensive en eighteen uh the wide receiver. Keep an eye

980
00:42:04,160 --> 00:42:06,120
Speaker 1: on both those kids. I mean, you're talking about a

981
00:42:06,120 --> 00:42:11,000
Speaker 1: talented collection of players. Uh. Florida State always has guys

982
00:42:11,040 --> 00:42:13,800
Speaker 1: that you have to go down and look at because

983
00:42:13,800 --> 00:42:16,000
Speaker 1: they just have the athleticism, the size, and the talent,

984
00:42:16,040 --> 00:42:18,000
Speaker 1: and they play in a winning program. These guys are

985
00:42:18,080 --> 00:42:20,480
Speaker 1: used to playing at an NFL level because they practice

986
00:42:20,520 --> 00:42:23,120
Speaker 1: at that level. I'm excited for this opening game. I

987
00:42:23,160 --> 00:42:27,160
Speaker 1: think it will be Uh musty TV. I can't wait

988
00:42:27,160 --> 00:42:30,480
Speaker 1: to see what the quarterback France Suid does against the defense.

989
00:42:30,680 --> 00:42:33,200
Speaker 1: He's got a live arm, He's added some weight, he's thick,

990
00:42:33,800 --> 00:42:36,120
Speaker 1: he's tough, he's still you know he's tough because he

991
00:42:36,200 --> 00:42:38,759
Speaker 1: got his butt kicked last year and just kept popping up.

992
00:42:38,760 --> 00:42:41,640
Speaker 1: So uh, he's he's They got some backs that they

993
00:42:41,719 --> 00:42:43,400
Speaker 1: got a good looking squad down there, and that's a

994
00:42:43,440 --> 00:42:46,120
Speaker 1: tough challenge Alabama week one. I don't think the speed

995
00:42:46,160 --> 00:42:48,319
Speaker 1: will be a problem for them at all. Uh. My

996
00:42:48,440 --> 00:42:50,360
Speaker 1: thing I would say, okay, if you're gonna have a

997
00:42:50,440 --> 00:42:52,759
Speaker 1: question would be how is this offensive line going to

998
00:42:52,800 --> 00:42:55,880
Speaker 1: stack up against Alabama's defensive front. Uh, that'll be a

999
00:42:55,880 --> 00:42:57,760
Speaker 1: big challenge for them. But I also think the athletes

1000
00:42:57,800 --> 00:43:00,200
Speaker 1: Florida State has up front on the defensive line can

1001
00:43:00,200 --> 00:43:03,080
Speaker 1: give Alabama some trouble. So I think early on, a

1002
00:43:03,080 --> 00:43:05,640
Speaker 1: couple of weeks away, I'm gonna go low scoring affair.

1003
00:43:05,719 --> 00:43:07,359
Speaker 1: Not gonna call a winner yet, I'm gonna say low

1004
00:43:07,440 --> 00:43:09,680
Speaker 1: scoring a fair Florida State Alabama. You know, it's funny

1005
00:43:09,680 --> 00:43:11,520
Speaker 1: because in this game, the first thing that comes to

1006
00:43:11,560 --> 00:43:15,759
Speaker 1: mind cam Florida State stand up to the physicality that

1007
00:43:15,880 --> 00:43:17,920
Speaker 1: Alabama is going to bring. This is going should be

1008
00:43:17,960 --> 00:43:20,680
Speaker 1: a heavyweight fight. Um, I want to see if Alabama

1009
00:43:20,719 --> 00:43:23,440
Speaker 1: because still in my mind, I'm thinking the old Alabama

1010
00:43:23,520 --> 00:43:26,399
Speaker 1: is going to reappear, the old slabber knocker. We're gonna

1011
00:43:26,440 --> 00:43:29,040
Speaker 1: run it down your throat. That's going to reappear. And

1012
00:43:30,000 --> 00:43:33,400
Speaker 1: it's Florida State mentally and physically ready to stand up

1013
00:43:33,440 --> 00:43:36,279
Speaker 1: to having a tackle bol Scarborough over and over and

1014
00:43:36,320 --> 00:43:38,680
Speaker 1: over again, while also having to deal with calm really

1015
00:43:38,680 --> 00:43:41,160
Speaker 1: on the outside. No question, that's gonna be a fun one.

1016
00:43:41,160 --> 00:43:44,000
Speaker 1: But Uh, Bucky, one of the things uh I tease

1017
00:43:44,040 --> 00:43:46,359
Speaker 1: at the top of the show is I've got something

1018
00:43:46,400 --> 00:43:48,920
Speaker 1: I'm writing. It's coming out early next week about five

1019
00:43:49,000 --> 00:43:51,960
Speaker 1: players that have good reputation in the media, in the public,

1020
00:43:52,000 --> 00:43:55,000
Speaker 1: but when you talk to scouts, um, they're even higher

1021
00:43:55,040 --> 00:43:56,880
Speaker 1: thought of. And these guys have generated a lot of

1022
00:43:56,880 --> 00:43:59,960
Speaker 1: buzz in the scouting community. We've seen in years past.

1023
00:44:00,200 --> 00:44:02,560
Speaker 1: You know, a guy like last year Mitchell Robinsky kind

1024
00:44:02,560 --> 00:44:05,560
Speaker 1: of come out of nowhere and be a top five pick. Um.

1025
00:44:05,640 --> 00:44:07,719
Speaker 1: We see it every year. Carson Wentz. Maybe some people

1026
00:44:07,760 --> 00:44:10,120
Speaker 1: weren't thinking about him. He goes way up there. Um,

1027
00:44:10,160 --> 00:44:13,279
Speaker 1: you have different names that kind of emerge throughout the

1028
00:44:13,320 --> 00:44:15,359
Speaker 1: fall that maybe we weren't talking of all that much

1029
00:44:15,360 --> 00:44:18,200
Speaker 1: about prior to the season. So one of those names

1030
00:44:18,800 --> 00:44:21,960
Speaker 1: is running back Kalin Bellage from Arizona State, who we

1031
00:44:22,000 --> 00:44:24,720
Speaker 1: had a chance to visit with at the Pack twelve

1032
00:44:24,800 --> 00:44:28,040
Speaker 1: media day. And this is a big back physical can

1033
00:44:28,080 --> 00:44:31,320
Speaker 1: really really go. It's gonna time really really fast. Um,

1034
00:44:31,360 --> 00:44:34,239
Speaker 1: But I thought was a fascinating conversation, so to kind

1035
00:44:34,239 --> 00:44:36,960
Speaker 1: of before we close out the episode today, Now, this

1036
00:44:37,040 --> 00:44:38,800
Speaker 1: is a name if you're a fan of college football,

1037
00:44:38,920 --> 00:44:41,600
Speaker 1: keep an eye on. Let's let's roll back our conversation

1038
00:44:41,640 --> 00:44:45,120
Speaker 1: we had with Arizona State running back Calin Bellage. All

1039
00:44:45,239 --> 00:44:46,680
Speaker 1: excited to be joined by one of the top running

1040
00:44:46,680 --> 00:44:49,919
Speaker 1: backs in college football. It's Kalin Bellage from from Arizona State.

1041
00:44:50,000 --> 00:44:52,840
Speaker 1: Here and Calin, first of all, tell us about the decision.

1042
00:44:52,880 --> 00:44:55,200
Speaker 1: We're NFL guys from NFL scouts, So tell us about

1043
00:44:55,200 --> 00:44:56,560
Speaker 1: this asion you made it to go ahead and come

1044
00:44:56,600 --> 00:44:59,480
Speaker 1: back to school. For me, really, it was just more

1045
00:44:59,719 --> 00:45:02,839
Speaker 1: kind of from a family standpoint. Um. You know, I

1046
00:45:02,880 --> 00:45:04,719
Speaker 1: promised my mom that I would get my degree. I

1047
00:45:04,760 --> 00:45:07,400
Speaker 1: have the opportunity to do that in December. Um, graduating

1048
00:45:07,440 --> 00:45:09,560
Speaker 1: three and a half years, and um, that was something

1049
00:45:09,600 --> 00:45:11,640
Speaker 1: that was really important to me and just my family

1050
00:45:11,680 --> 00:45:13,600
Speaker 1: is just really big gonna finish in once you started,

1051
00:45:13,640 --> 00:45:16,480
Speaker 1: you know, so I wanted to kind of just go

1052
00:45:16,520 --> 00:45:19,160
Speaker 1: about it in in that in that way, in that manner,

1053
00:45:19,160 --> 00:45:21,560
Speaker 1: and that's what I did. So I'm looking at the

1054
00:45:21,600 --> 00:45:23,560
Speaker 1: stats and they say that you're the only player to

1055
00:45:23,719 --> 00:45:30,279
Speaker 1: do this. Eight tubs in the game. Yeah, eight touchdowns

1056
00:45:28,200 --> 00:45:31,719
Speaker 1: and stuff. That's just what I had to receive. A

1057
00:45:31,800 --> 00:45:36,080
Speaker 1: touchdown man, uh like a seventy five yarder and then

1058
00:45:36,320 --> 00:45:39,440
Speaker 1: some wildcats stuff. I got a chance. I've studied it. Man,

1059
00:45:39,680 --> 00:45:41,960
Speaker 1: he can go. He's got some power, he's got some speed,

1060
00:45:41,960 --> 00:45:44,000
Speaker 1: He's got a lot. Thank you. What are you trying

1061
00:45:44,000 --> 00:45:47,000
Speaker 1: to work on this offseason and get yourself ready to go? Everything?

1062
00:45:47,200 --> 00:45:50,160
Speaker 1: I want to polish everything every year. Um. I'm kind

1063
00:45:50,160 --> 00:45:52,799
Speaker 1: of o c D. I'm kind of like a perfectionist

1064
00:45:52,800 --> 00:45:55,640
Speaker 1: type guy. So I just work on everything. Um. I

1065
00:45:55,680 --> 00:45:57,360
Speaker 1: want to be, you know, one of those guys that

1066
00:45:57,440 --> 00:45:59,600
Speaker 1: you can instead of bringing a slot receiver and to

1067
00:45:59,680 --> 00:46:01,080
Speaker 1: run out, I want to I want you to just

1068
00:46:01,120 --> 00:46:03,120
Speaker 1: motion me out the backfield on third down. You know. So,

1069
00:46:03,480 --> 00:46:05,880
Speaker 1: I probably myself on being a football player, you know,

1070
00:46:05,920 --> 00:46:08,160
Speaker 1: and doing that obviously right in your town. There's one

1071
00:46:08,200 --> 00:46:09,920
Speaker 1: of the best running backs in National Football League and

1072
00:46:09,960 --> 00:46:12,600
Speaker 1: David Johnson. Yeah, obviously he is a guy that is

1073
00:46:12,600 --> 00:46:14,319
Speaker 1: a complete back. He can run it, he can catch

1074
00:46:14,360 --> 00:46:16,359
Speaker 1: and do some things. And you've been able to look

1075
00:46:16,480 --> 00:46:18,640
Speaker 1: at any of his stuff and say, you know what,

1076
00:46:18,800 --> 00:46:20,120
Speaker 1: I think I can do that and I can take

1077
00:46:20,160 --> 00:46:22,520
Speaker 1: some of that and put in my game. Absolutely, And actually,

1078
00:46:22,520 --> 00:46:24,799
Speaker 1: you know the crazy part about it is I I

1079
00:46:24,840 --> 00:46:26,480
Speaker 1: mean all through high school I had it. There was

1080
00:46:26,520 --> 00:46:28,239
Speaker 1: another running back that I went to school with, so

1081
00:46:28,320 --> 00:46:31,200
Speaker 1: I was the one. I just basically played slot, you know,

1082
00:46:31,239 --> 00:46:33,040
Speaker 1: we did split backs and but we were always on

1083
00:46:33,080 --> 00:46:34,560
Speaker 1: the field at the same time. So I've been doing

1084
00:46:34,560 --> 00:46:36,400
Speaker 1: all this stuff forever and now it's really becoming a

1085
00:46:36,440 --> 00:46:38,640
Speaker 1: big thing. So um, I kind of already have that

1086
00:46:38,680 --> 00:46:41,399
Speaker 1: tool in my toolbox. So um. You know, Levian Bell

1087
00:46:41,480 --> 00:46:42,800
Speaker 1: is somebody I look up to. It is kind of

1088
00:46:42,840 --> 00:46:44,680
Speaker 1: like my big brother. Me and him talk often, so

1089
00:46:44,760 --> 00:46:46,960
Speaker 1: he you know, he does the same thing. So UM,

1090
00:46:47,000 --> 00:46:48,920
Speaker 1: I think it's it's important and I like, I like

1091
00:46:49,040 --> 00:46:51,160
Speaker 1: doing that. How did you guys get connected and what's

1092
00:46:51,160 --> 00:46:54,040
Speaker 1: your relationship? Like? Um? Out in Darby he's a safety

1093
00:46:54,400 --> 00:46:57,279
Speaker 1: um that used to play the Arizona State, like I

1094
00:46:57,320 --> 00:47:00,160
Speaker 1: want to say, five or six years ago, really good um.

1095
00:47:00,320 --> 00:47:01,839
Speaker 1: And he would and played for the Steelers and him

1096
00:47:01,840 --> 00:47:04,440
Speaker 1: and Levyan got close, so he connected us together. It's

1097
00:47:04,440 --> 00:47:07,279
Speaker 1: a good mentor to half man. It's very good mentor. So.

1098
00:47:07,400 --> 00:47:10,000
Speaker 1: And and thinking about Levian Bell and everyone talking about

1099
00:47:10,080 --> 00:47:13,040
Speaker 1: him maybe being the best back when you watch him,

1100
00:47:13,040 --> 00:47:16,600
Speaker 1: what is the one thing that fascinates you about his game? Well, everybody,

1101
00:47:16,600 --> 00:47:20,360
Speaker 1: you'll tell you his patients. His patients is amazing. Um.

1102
00:47:20,400 --> 00:47:22,640
Speaker 1: I mean they were they were kind of doing some

1103
00:47:22,920 --> 00:47:25,480
Speaker 1: ESPN thing and they were showing that like he on

1104
00:47:25,560 --> 00:47:28,040
Speaker 1: average stays behind the line of scrimmage, like for two

1105
00:47:28,080 --> 00:47:30,320
Speaker 1: and a half seconds at a time, like just standing

1106
00:47:30,360 --> 00:47:33,799
Speaker 1: there like doing nothing, and then he just waits, waits,

1107
00:47:33,800 --> 00:47:35,440
Speaker 1: and he sees a crease and he hits it. So

1108
00:47:36,239 --> 00:47:38,600
Speaker 1: I'll tell you what, man, the Uh, the thing that's

1109
00:47:38,640 --> 00:47:40,919
Speaker 1: interesting to me is when you have a big back

1110
00:47:41,000 --> 00:47:42,359
Speaker 1: like you that can do the dirt work, but then

1111
00:47:42,360 --> 00:47:44,080
Speaker 1: you don't have to come off the field. Uh, it's

1112
00:47:44,080 --> 00:47:46,520
Speaker 1: such it's such a huge advantage for an offense. How

1113
00:47:46,520 --> 00:47:49,640
Speaker 1: about the terminology with the new new OC coming in there.

1114
00:47:49,680 --> 00:47:51,440
Speaker 1: How has that all changed in terms of what you

1115
00:47:51,480 --> 00:47:54,000
Speaker 1: guys are doing? It's been fine. I've always I've always

1116
00:47:54,000 --> 00:47:56,799
Speaker 1: been pretty football savvy, um, and I kind of just

1117
00:47:57,320 --> 00:47:59,719
Speaker 1: have the common sense factor that you need, I think

1118
00:48:00,040 --> 00:48:02,239
Speaker 1: to be elite football player. Um. I kind of do

1119
00:48:02,320 --> 00:48:03,960
Speaker 1: things on my own reform. I have to, you know,

1120
00:48:04,040 --> 00:48:06,279
Speaker 1: before people tell me to do it. So um, I've

1121
00:48:06,320 --> 00:48:08,799
Speaker 1: just had the ability to to really study under coach

1122
00:48:08,880 --> 00:48:11,239
Speaker 1: Napier and and figure out what kind of things he

1123
00:48:11,239 --> 00:48:13,200
Speaker 1: has in store for our team. Are you hoping you

1124
00:48:13,200 --> 00:48:14,640
Speaker 1: get a little bit more of a workload. I know

1125
00:48:14,680 --> 00:48:15,920
Speaker 1: you guys got a couple of backs, you got a

1126
00:48:15,960 --> 00:48:18,680
Speaker 1: talent at backfield. But look, I'm just going through your gamewalks.

1127
00:48:18,719 --> 00:48:20,919
Speaker 1: Last year, you never had twenty carries? Is that something?

1128
00:48:21,400 --> 00:48:22,920
Speaker 1: Is that something you're lobbying for. I don't think I've

1129
00:48:22,920 --> 00:48:26,640
Speaker 1: ever had twenty games of my in my college career.

1130
00:48:26,719 --> 00:48:28,759
Speaker 1: So um, you know, I'm not really too worried about it.

1131
00:48:28,800 --> 00:48:30,839
Speaker 1: I trust the process. And you know, if if there's

1132
00:48:30,880 --> 00:48:32,480
Speaker 1: a game where I need to have twenty carries and

1133
00:48:32,880 --> 00:48:36,640
Speaker 1: that game will come, well hopefully it comes earlier or

1134
00:48:36,760 --> 00:48:38,640
Speaker 1: you guys, because you guys certainly need to get that

1135
00:48:38,680 --> 00:48:40,800
Speaker 1: offense back track. You have potentially, you have potential to

1136
00:48:40,800 --> 00:48:42,920
Speaker 1: be a contender, but they need to make sure that

1137
00:48:43,000 --> 00:48:44,920
Speaker 1: you are focus on in the game. I'm excited to

1138
00:48:44,920 --> 00:48:47,520
Speaker 1: see what takes place. I wish you the best. Thank you.

1139
00:48:47,520 --> 00:48:50,000
Speaker 1: I appreciate Buck. You know, I don't. I don't. I

1140
00:48:50,040 --> 00:48:53,480
Speaker 1: don't swear, I don't swear. It's a badass. Thank you,

1141
00:48:53,640 --> 00:48:56,759
Speaker 1: appreciates like this fall man, well afford to watch. Thank

1142
00:48:56,800 --> 00:48:59,120
Speaker 1: you all right, Bucky, I'll tell you what that is.

1143
00:48:59,160 --> 00:49:01,279
Speaker 1: A that's a pressive kid. And we had a chance

1144
00:49:01,400 --> 00:49:03,799
Speaker 1: to visit with players from each school up there, and

1145
00:49:04,400 --> 00:49:06,719
Speaker 1: we had some of our favorites. I think Klin Blage

1146
00:49:06,760 --> 00:49:08,759
Speaker 1: there from Arizona State has to be right up there

1147
00:49:08,760 --> 00:49:10,279
Speaker 1: towards the top of the list. I don't know how

1148
00:49:10,280 --> 00:49:12,080
Speaker 1: many games Sun Devils are gonna win this year, Bucky,

1149
00:49:12,360 --> 00:49:13,920
Speaker 1: but there's gonna be a lot of scouts rolling through

1150
00:49:13,960 --> 00:49:16,360
Speaker 1: there to check out this kid. Well, absolutely, they certainly

1151
00:49:16,360 --> 00:49:17,880
Speaker 1: are gonna check him out. You know the thing that

1152
00:49:17,960 --> 00:49:20,840
Speaker 1: Todd Graham was so enthusiastic about him. I'm excited to

1153
00:49:20,880 --> 00:49:23,520
Speaker 1: see him when he plays. Yeah, he's he's a good one.

1154
00:49:23,560 --> 00:49:26,200
Speaker 1: So height, weight, speed and uh and definitely passed the

1155
00:49:26,239 --> 00:49:28,480
Speaker 1: interview test. What an impressive kid. So looking forward to

1156
00:49:28,480 --> 00:49:31,919
Speaker 1: watching klin Blage keep an eye on him this fall.

1157
00:49:31,960 --> 00:49:34,200
